Chill day ideas for the season 2 boys bc they desperately need a break from the nonstop drama
June
He comes across a stray cat on the island and it follows him around all day
He spends the day shadowing JJ to see if he ever actually does have appointments to do
He has to remodel the gardens and gives MC a say on everything from what flowers to plant to whether he should add a fountain
He inspects the kitchen to see if it's being properly maintained and free of any pests. He does find one, but it's a hermit crab
K has a day full of bad luck while June watches off to the side with some popcorn
Staff kahoot night. Winner gets to decide on the menu for the next week. A vegan wins JJ may or may not cry
He needs to refurnish some of the guest rooms, but knows jack shit about interior design
He's trying to put together a new theme for his phone and has MC tell him all her favorite things and send him a selfie. All the staff think he's typing away at his phone for work and try to sneak a peak at what he's ordering to be sent to the island
He has to taste test everything the kitchen staff may want to make in the future. He overeats and debates whether to call Henri or save himself the lecture and find his own solution
One of the staff gets pregnant and June has to research what she'll need to be comfortable and order them to the island. He also orders more food to be able to satisfy any cravings she might have later and every one of his predictions is wrong
Henri
He gets a patient who reminds him of MC and gets all mushy during the calls
He takes himself out to lunch for once, does some people watching, and curses all the couples
He gets a mild cold and uses it as an opportunity to test MC's knowledge of home remedies
He and MC try to decide on pet names for each other. He loves every one she picks, but says he doesn't just to fuck with her
He and MC dream up an imaginary future life together. They talk about what sort of house they'll have, any pets, any kids, whether they want to own or lease a house, whether they want to settle down or travel, etc
He treats himself through MC, telling her all the things he wished people would say to him
He goes and does something his family would never approve of. He decides to get a tattoo and MC helps him pick
He has to go to some formal event and spends the whole time playing a game where he sneaks selfies to MC and makes fun of the other guests for being so snooty and hypocritical. He spills enough tea to MC that she could make a tv show out of it
He and MC each decide what the other will eat that day and they both pick stuff the other would hate. During the bedtime chat, they find out they both cheated and ate whatever they wanted
MC reads/watches a story that emotionally destroys her and Henri walks her through the media grieving process, teasing her the whole time

Dean is such a fool. He let the one person he loves the most leave after an argument. He said a lot of hateful things to push you away and it seems that this time it might be for good. Why couldn’t he see that he deserves a life away from the chaos of hunting? You’re willing to settle down with him and give him the normal life that he always dreamed of. Now he is haunted by pictures of you both together in happier times scattered everywhere. His phone is in his hand ready to dial your number but would you pick it up? Has he crossed your mind as you have with him? Screw it, he dials your number and lets it ring. But you don’t pick up. God, he was such a fool to let you go. 
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me, it happens all the time
Dean looks at the clock and sees that it’s a quarter after one in the morning. The feeling of loneliness swarms over him as he drinks his whiskey slowly. He thinks back to the sadness in your eyes when you ask him, “are you sure you want this?” God, no he didn’t want this to end but he was too proud of a man to admit it. Looking at the locked screen on his phone he sees your smiling face. He wants to call again, though a part of him tells himself to let you go so you can be happy. Dean doesn’t know what he’ll do without you but if this is what a broken heart feels like he never wants to feel it again. The other part of him is screaming that he needs you. He needs to see your smiling face, hear your laughter and taste your lips. What he would give to have you come through that door again and tell him you can’t live without him. Though if he was honest he doesn’t know how he is going to live without you. Dialing your number again he silently prays that you will pick the phone up but it goes to voicemail. 
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me, it happens all the time
Dean pours another glass of whiskey as he thinks about the life you could have had together. You both had talked about having a family one day and getting that little house with a yard big enough for a dog. Yes, that was the life that could have been. But it’s all a distant memory now. He should have never allowed hunting to be the deal breaker between you both. He has put in many years of his life hunting supernatural beings. He deserves a chance at a normal life. Grabbing the glass of whiskey he downs it in one gulp. Dean promised he wouldn’t call but fuck it. While he has the courage he quickly dials your number and listens while it rings. After the fifth time ringing, it goes to voicemail.  Dammit, he screwed up. He just hopes that you’re sleeping and not ignoring his call. Maybe he should try to sleep as he is feeling a little drunk. Though how could he sleep knowing you won’t be there in the morning? As Dean leans back on the couch he tells himself he would rather have these hurt feelings than feel empty inside. Unbeknownst to him, his finger dials your number again. 
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Dean shut his eyes for a few minutes and wakes up to someone shaking him. He groans his disapproval and slowly opens his eyes. There you are staring at him with a sad smile on your face.
“Dean, I saw you called me several times. Is everything okay?” You sound concerned as you ask him. He looks awful and smells heavily of whiskey. You notice the pictures of you both are scattered everywhere.
He looked over to the clock on the wall and it was just after three in the morning. You came over this late? “I’m fine, sweetheart. I was just drinking some whiskey. No need to worry about me.”
“Does this have anything to do with the argument we had?” You question him as you look at how much whiskey is missing from the bottle. 
He sighs. “No, yes, maybe. I just wanted you to know I didn’t mean anything that I said earlier. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life. I want the future we talked about. I want out of hunting if you still want to as well. Just say the word and it’s done.”
Tears spill down your cheeks as you nod your head. “I do want that but Dean you hurt me. Saying you don’t want kids…”
“I was an idiot. I do want them with you. I want the house, the yard, everything. Just give me a chance to prove myself to you.”
A small smile flashes across your face. “Well, I hope you’re serious because Dean I’m pregnant.”
Dean sits up quickly and pulls you into his lap. He kisses you passionately, tongues slowly dancing together as you grip him harder against you. When he pulls away so you could both breathe he let out a chuckle. “I’m so freaking happy.” Finally, everything is going to be alright. You need each other and so both of you vow to never make drastic decisions again. Today is the beginning of your forever, just the three of you.

Pride Month Writing Challenge, Day 16: A Strange Feeling (For Shea)
HEY YOU
YEAH YOU
IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN @simstationdance’s EARLY ST CONTENT YOU SHOULD BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND ALSO THEY HAVE WORKED VERY HARD ON IT AND DESERVE MORE ATTENTION
okay anyways I hc Missy with Rose Quartz’s voice from Steven Universe idk why 
Jackie made an earnest attempt to focus on what Missy was saying, but everything seemed to go in one ear and out the other no matter how hard she tried. 
Missy was pregnant.
Jackie was happy for her, of course, but she couldn’t shake this… odd and uncomfortable feeling. She was a grown woman. She knew how babies were made. Ever since Missy had shared her big news that’s all Jackie could think about, and she wasn’t sure why. 
Missy had been going through all of her ideas for a baby reveal, but Jackie couldn’t lie and say she had heard anything past her second idea. Missy seemed so excited, through, and Jackie was perfectly fine with listening to her best friend ramble.
“Anyway! Whatever I decide to do, you have to promise me something.” Missy stared at Jackie intensely. “Do not, under any circumstances, tell my husband. Okay?”
“Oh…” Jackie nodded, still tuning back in. “Of course.” 
Missy laughed, taking Jackie’s hands and squeezing them. “Thank you so much for listening to me ramble.” She hugged Jackie tightly. “I love you so much.” 
Missy had always been super touchy and very affectionate, but something about the way she said those words made Jackie’s stomach churn. She wasn’t sure what that meant.
“Yeah… me too.”

Sequel here
Tumblr media
As Eli sat in the lecture hall, his gaze fixated on you, he couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation mingled with desire. You, the student who seemed so disinterested in the class, yet exuded an air of effortless intelligence that drew him in like a moth to a flame.
You sat at the front of the class, seemingly lost in your own world as you glanced out the window, barely paying attention to the Eli's lecture. Your boredom grated on Eli's nerves, challenging his ego in a way he wasn't accustomed to.
But what irritated Eli even more was your impeccable demeanor. Unlike the other women who sought his attention for better grades or simply to bed a "real man," you remained aloof, untouched by his charm and influence. It was a challenge he couldn't resist, a puzzle he was determined to solve.
So as the days passed, Eli's obsession with you grew, fueled by a mixture of frustration and desire. He watched you from afar, studying your every move, trying to decipher the enigma that was you. Despite his best efforts, you remained a mystery, a tantalizing puzzle that refused to be solved.
And again, Eli's frustration boiled over as he watched you once again appear distracted during his lecture. He couldn't contain his anger any longer and decided to single you out.
"Eyes on me, missy!" Eli snapped, his voice dripping with irritation. "What's so fascinating outside that window that you can't even bother to pay attention in my class?"
You turned your gaze towards him, unperturbed by his outburst. "I apologize, Professor Michaelson," you replied calmly. "I was simply lost in thought for a moment."
Eli scoffed, his ego wounded by your nonchalant response. "Lost in thought? More like lost in your own world, completely oblivious to the valuable knowledge I'm imparting here."
He strode over to the whiteboard, pointing to a complex chemistry question written in bold letters. "Since you seem so preoccupied, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us all with the answer to this question."
The rest of the class remained silent, intimidated by Eli's sharp tone. But you remained composed, a hint of amusement dancing in your eyes as you surveyed the question.
You got up, and Eli handed you the whiteboard pen. He sat back on the table while you did the calculations for the Chemistry question. He crossed his arms and watched, not resisting taking a few discreet glances at your ass.
"Alright, let's see what you've got," Eli said, his voice laced with a hint of skepticism.
You began to solve the problem with ease, your hand moving swiftly across the whiteboard as you tackled each step with precision. And as Eli watched you a devious thought crossed his mind. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards you, and seeing you stand at the whiteboard, solving equations flawlessly, only fueled his desire further. 'Maybe I should have you answer more questions on the whiteboard,' he thought to himself, his gaze lingering on your figure. 'If that's what your ass looks like, I wouldn't mind having you up there all day.'
As you reached the final step, Eli leaned in slightly, unable to resist the urge to get a closer look at your work. "Not bad," he muttered under his breath, a begrudging admiration in his tone.
You finished the calculation flawlessly, presenting the answer with a confident smile. "There you go, Professor Michaelson," you said, turning to face him. "I hope that meets your expectations."
Suppressing a smirk, Eli instructed you to return to your seat, his tone laced with authority. "Very well done, the answer is correct, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves," he said, his eyes flickering with a hint of mischief. "Back to your table, please."
You obeyed and as you went back to your seat, Josh Parker, one of your classmates, broke into applauded for his correct answer, his admiration evident. You flashed him a grateful smile, appreciating his support as the other students followed suit. However, before the applause could escalate, Eli intervened, cutting it off with a stern look.
"One last thing," Eli addressed the class, his tone commanding. "While Miss [Your Last Name] may have provided a correct answer, let this be a reminder to everyone to pay attention in class. Understanding the material is crucial, even if you manage to solve a problem."
With that, Eli instructed the students to copy down the solution from the whiteboard, and they complied obediently. As the class ended, Josh approached you, offering praise and assistance. "That was amazing!" he exclaimed, his admiration evident. "You're a genius, [Your First Name]."
You chuckled modestly, thanking Josh for his kind words as he offered to carry your books. "You're too kind, Josh," you replied graciously, accepting his offer. "And thanks for the applause earlier. It means a lot."
As the two of you walked out of the classroom together, engaged in friendly banter, you couldn't help but appreciate Josh's genuine kindness. Despite his popularity as a basketball player, he always treated you with respect and kindness, a rare gem in the competitive world of university life
Josh commented that you had your next class together today, and you agreed, acknowledging that your university schedules aligned quite closely, allowing you to attend almost all the classes together. In fact, it was in the literature class that you and Josh first met.
You reminisced about the time when the teacher assigned a paper in pairs, and she randomly chose you and Josh to work together. Initially, Josh, being the typical popular guy, was reluctant to participate, brushing off the assignment with his usual charm. However, you managed to convince him by promising to help him with Chemistry, knowing his struggles with Professor Michaelson's class.
Not that it was difficult to see, of course. Professor Michaelson always made it clear whenever Josh stumbled over a question, often mocking him in front of the whole class. But with your encouragement and assistance, Josh softened up about it, and the two of you became friends. You continued to help him with Chemistry, and with each passing day, he improved in those subjects.
As you and Josh continued your conversation, enjoying each other's company, you were suddenly interrupted by Josh's basketball friends, who grabbed you in a playful manner and greeted Josh with enthusiastic high-fives.
"Hey, Josh! What's up, man?" one of them exclaimed, flashing you a friendly grin. "Who's this lovely lady you're chatting up?"
Josh chuckled, exchanging jokes and banter with his friends as they playfully teased him about being smitten with you. "Guys, come on, give it a rest," Josh protested, feigning exasperation. "She's just a friend, okay?"
But his friends weren't convinced, continuing to tease him relentlessly as they engaged in playful banter. "Oh, come on, Josh! We can see the way you look at her," one of them teased, winking at you. "When are you gonna confess your undying love, huh?"
Josh's cheeks flushed slightly at their teasing, but he shook his head adamantly, denying any romantic interest in you. "I told you guys, she's just a friend," he insisted, trying to change the subject. "Besides, we've got class to attend, remember?"
You watched the exchange with amusement, grateful for Josh's efforts to defend your friendship. But you also sensed a hint of strange in his denial, a flicker of something more beneath his playful facade.
As the teasing continued, Josh jokingly pushed his friends away, eager to end the conversation. "Alright, alright, enough already," he laughed, nudging you with his elbow. "I'll see you guys later. [Your Name] and I have places to be."
You and Josh continued to Math class, the playful banter with his friends fading into the background as you walked together down the hallway. Josh apologized for his friends' teasing, but you waved it off with a smile, assuring him that it was no big deal.
"It's okay, Josh. I know they were just joking around," you said, your voice warm with understanding. "Besides, it's kind of nice to see you have such close friends."
Josh grinned appreciatively, grateful for your easygoing nature. "Thanks, [Your Name]. You're pretty cool about it," he replied, his tone sincere. "And hey, they mean well, even if they can be a bit... enthusiastic sometimes."
As you and Josh entered the Math classroom, you found seats together near the front, settling in comfortably as you waited for the teacher to arrive. The classroom buzzed with conversation as students chatted and exchanged notes, the atmosphere relaxed and familiar.
Josh leaned in closer, his voice low as he spoke to you. "So, [Your Name], do you have any plans for the weekend?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
You shook your head, a small smile playing on your lips. "Not really, just the usual studying and maybe catching up on some Netflix," you replied casually. "What about you?"
Josh shrugged, his expression thoughtful. "Same here, I guess. Maybe I'll hit the gym or hang out with some friends," he said, his tone casual. "But honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to just chilling out for a bit."
As the teacher entered the classroom, signaling the start of the lesson, you and Josh turned your attention to the front, ready to tackle the day's material together.
Meanwhile, Eli was in his private office, fucking a student against his desk between class breaks. Taking the woman from behind, he closed his eyes, remembering you answering the question on the board, wearing those jeans that hugged you perfectly, your beautiful ass on display. Eli had made up his mind. He was going to have you, oh yes, no matter what he had to do. He was going to have you against this table of his, taste you.
With a primal growl, Eli intensified his thrusts, his mind consumed by thoughts of you. He imagined your soft moans and gasps, your body writhing beneath him as he took you with a hunger born of obsession.
As the woman beneath him cried out in pleasure, Eli's thoughts drifted back to you, his desire fueled by the memory of your intelligence and beauty. He knew he couldn't resist the temptation any longer. He had to have you, to possess you completely.
With a surge of determination, Eli quickened his pace, his movements becoming more urgent as he chased the elusive satisfaction he knew only you could provide. He imagined your body pressed against his, your skin flushed with desire as he claimed you as his own.
As he reached the peak of his pleasure, Eli's mind was filled with visions of you, your name a mantra on his lips as he surrendered to the ecstasy of the moment. He knew that nothing could satisfy him like you could, and he was willing to do whatever it took to make you his.
With a final, shuddering release, Eli collapsed against the desk, his body spent but his desire burning brighter than ever. He knew that his obsession with you would consume him, but he didn't care. All that mattered was the intoxicating allure of your presence, drawing him ever closer to the edge of madness.
As the days passed, Eli's obsession with you only grew stronger, consuming his thoughts and fueling his desire to be near you. He couldn't shake the image of you solving the chemistry problem flawlessly, your intelligence and beauty a potent combination that left him longing for more.
Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Eli concocted a plan to be alone with you, to seduce you and make you his own. He convinced the dean to open a student assistant position, citing the need for extra help in his classes. It was a lie, of course, but Eli didn't care. All that mattered was having you within his reach.
With the position approved, Eli announced the opportunity to the class, extolling the advantages and requirements of the role. He made sure to emphasize the perks of working closely with him, his voice dripping with charm and persuasion.
"As my student assistant, you'll have the opportunity to gain valuable experience and insight into the world of academia," Eli declared, his eyes flickering with excitement. "Not to mention the chance to work closely with me, learning from of one the best in the field, the winner of the prestigious Nobel Prize."
He listed off the requirements for the position, making it clear that only the most dedicated and capable students would be considered. But deep down, Eli knew that there was only one candidate he truly desired.
"Aspiring candidates can sign up at the end of class," Eli announced, his heart racing with anticipation. "I look forward to working with one of you lucky individuals."
As the end of the class approached, Eli couldn't contain his excitement, his gaze fixed on you as you packed your things. He pretended to be engrossed in some paperwork, but his attention was solely focused on you.
Eli's other conquests, his "pets" as he liked to call them mentally, signed up, eager to spend more time with him, but they weren't what Eli wanted, he waited impatiently while you packed your things in your bag. Josh, as always, waited for you, asking if you were going to sign up as a student assistant.
"Hey, [Your Name], you gonna sign up for Eli's assistant position?" Josh inquired, his tone hopeful as he leaned against the desk next to yours.
You paused, considering his question carefully. "I'm not sure, Josh," you replied honestly, a hint of uncertainty in your voice. "I already have a lot on my plate with my other classes and extracurricular activities."
Josh nodded understandingly, his expression sympathetic. "Yeah, I get that," he said, his tone supportive. "But hey, if I were even half as smart as you in Chemistry, I'd jump at the chance. Think about it, you'd get to work closely with a Nobel Prize winner: Eli Michaelson, as we are reminded every fucking day, in every minute of this fucking class! It'd look great on your resume."
Despite yourself, you couldn't help but laugh at Josh's dramatic proclamation, the tension of the moment easing slightly. "Thanks, Josh," you said, a smile playing on your lips. "I'll definitely think about it."
As you glanced around the room, you noticed several students eagerly signing their names on the registration paper for the assistant position. They chatted excitedly amongst themselves, eager to impress Eli and secure their spot as his assistant.
Meanwhile, Eli tried to act indifferent, pretending to be engrossed in some paperwork as he waited for you to sign up. He knew that he had opened this position just for you, and it would suck if you didn't sign up.
You bit your lip thoughtfully as you walked down with Josh from the auditorium. His words echoed in your mind, and despite your initial reluctance, you couldn't shake the idea of working closely with Eli. After all, it would be an invaluable opportunity to gain insight into the world of academia and enhance your resume.
"Hey, Josh," you began, your voice hesitant as you glanced at him. "You know what? You're right. I think I will sign up for assistant position."
Josh's eyes lit up with excitement, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Really? That's awesome, [Your Name]!" he exclaimed, clapping you on the back. "I knew you'd come around. Trust me, you won't regret it."
As you and Josh made your way back to the front of the class, you couldn't help but feel a sense of unease gnawing at the back of your mind. Something about Eli's demeanor had always rubbed you the wrong way, his arrogance and ego grating on your nerves.
But as you watched the other students eagerly sign their names on the registration paper, their excitement palpable, you couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. If they were willing to overlook Eli's flaws for the chance to work closely with him, then maybe you should too.
With a sigh, you waited for everyone to finish and sign their name too, your heart pounding in your chest as you approached the registration paper. You glanced over at Eli, who watched you with a predatory gleam in his eyes, his lips curling into a satisfied smirk.
As you picked up the pen, you couldn't shake the feeling that you were selling your soul, but the allure of the opportunity was too strong to resist. With a shaky hand, you wrote down your name on the list, sealing your fate with Michaelson.
Eli's smirk widened into a grin as he watched you sign up, his satisfaction evident. He had always known that you were the one he wanted, and now, you had willingly placed yourself in his grasp.
As you finished writing your name, Eli's thoughts turned to Josh, who had convinced you to sign up, as he could hear. Despite his initial disdain for Parker, Eli couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards him. After all, Josh had unwittingly played right into Eli's hands, giving him exactly what he wanted.
'Thanks, Parker,' Eli thought to himself, a chuckle escaping his lips as he traced your name on the list. 'You just gave me what I want.'
With a sense of triumph, Eli picked up the sign-up list, his mind already racing with plans for the future. Maybe he would improve Parker's grade one of these days, as a token of his appreciation. After all, it was the least he could do for someone who had unwittingly helped him achieve his goals. Eli chuckles to himself as he walked away.
He waited for two days, relishing in the anticipation of revealing his chosen assistant. He made a show of carefully considering each candidate, pretending to weigh their merits and qualifications. But in reality, his decision had been made long before, the moment you signed your name on the registration paper.
Finally, the day arrived for Eli to announce his assistant. He stood at the front of the class, his gaze sweeping over the eager faces of his students. With a flourish, he revealed your name as the chosen one, his voice filled with pride and satisfaction.
"And the lucky individual who will be working closely with me as my assistant is..." Eli paused for dramatic effect, savoring the moment before uttering your name. "Miss [Your Last Name]!"
A few people applauded, congratulating you on your selection as Eli's assistant. You nodded and smiled at your colleagues, although you were happy with the achievement, you still felt deep down that signing up was a mistake, but you ruled it out, maybe Michaelson wasn't so bad.
As the excitement died down, Eli addressed you directly, his tone warm and inviting. "Congratulations, Miss [Your Last Name]. I'm confident that you'll excel in your new role as my assistant," he said, his voice oozing with charm.
He asked you to stay after class to discuss the details of your new position, his eyes lingering on you with a mixture of admiration and desire. You agreed, eager to learn more about your responsibilities and what was expected of you.
And the for weeks, you found yourself spending countless hours in Eli's office, assisting him with various tasks and projects. You helped him correct papers, activities, and tests, and worked closely with him to develop lesson plans. Every Monday to Wednesday, after all the classes, you would join him in his office, sometimes staying up late into the night to finish your work.
Despite the long hours and demanding workload, you enjoyed your time with Eli, his intellect and passion for his work were infectious. You began to admire his dedication to his students and his commitment to excellence, beginning to see that, although he didn't show it, he truly cared about whether or not his students were learning the material, and because of that you couldn't help but feel proud that You were chosen as his assistant, even though he's still an arrogant bastard.
But as the weeks passed, Eli's subtle attempts at seduction became more apparent. He would linger too long with a touch, stand too close when speaking to you, and shower you with praise and compliments. He tried to get you to open up to him, to let your guard down and see him as more than just a Professor and colleague.
However, despite his best efforts, you remained resolute in your boundaries. You appreciated his guidance and support, but you were not willing to compromise your principles for his desires. As attractive as he was, with those big, sturdy hands, that you may or may not have imagined what it would be like to have them touch you, caress you, trace patterns on your skin.... you pushed those thoughts away as you once again corrected the tests with Eli, late at night, in his office, trying to focus on the task at hand But a shiver ran down your spine when Eli whispered in your ear that you had corrected a wrong test.
"E-excuse me?" You stammered, your heart racing as Eli's body brushed against yours.
Eli smiled to himself, his voice low and enticing. "You marked question seven as incorrect, but the student in question answered correctly, the compound is actually Benzene."
You tried not to stutter as you realized your mistake, Eli's presence overwhelming you. His proximity, combined with the scent of his cologne, made it difficult to focus.
"I-I'm sorry," you managed to say, your voice barely above a whisper.
But before you could continue, Eli interrupted with a kiss on your neck, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through your veins. You tensed up, goosebumps rising on your skin as his lips grazed your sensitive flesh.
"Wh-what are you doing?" You gasped, you stood up and turned to him, shocked by his boldness.
But Eli silenced you with another kiss, this time capturing your lips in a heated embrace. Your initial instinct was to resist, to push him away and maintain your professionalism. But as his lips moved against yours with a passion you couldn't deny, you found yourself kissing him back, surrendering to the undeniable chemistry between you.
His hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer as the kiss deepened. All rational thought flew out the window as you lost yourself in the moment, the boundaries between mentor and mentee blurred by desire.
When you finally pulled away, breathless and flushed, Eli's gaze bore into yours with intensity. "I couldn't resist any longer," he confessed, his voice husky with desire. "I've wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you."
You searched his eyes for any sign of regret or hesitation, but all you found was a hunger mirrored in your own. Despite the moral implications and the potential consequences, you couldn't deny the undeniable pull you felt towards Michaelson.
And as Eli's hand trailed down your thigh, sending shivers down your spine, you tried to resist, telling him that it was wrong. "Doctor, this is... this is not right," you protested, your voice trembling with uncertainty.
But Eli brushed off your concerns with a dismissive smirk. "Darling, you're of legal age, and I'm a free man now," he retorted, his tone dripping with arrogance. "And besides, what's a little fun between consenting adults?"
Your heart sank as he mentioned his divorce, you read the news, of his wife and son fleeing with million dollars of his, and you realizing that his marital status was no longer a barrier in that you could use. Panic surged through you as you struggled to find another excuse, but before you could protest further, Eli pinned you against his desk, his hand sliding up your thigh.
You gasped as his touch sent electricity coursing through your veins, the heat between you intensifying with each passing moment. "Please..." you pleaded, your voice barely above a whisper.
But Eli silenced you with another searing kiss, his lips trailing down your neck as he whispered seductively in your ear. "I want you, darling. And I know you want me too," he murmured, his voice like velvet against your skin. "Let go of your inhibitions and give in to desire. It'll be worth it, I promise."
You hesitated, torn between the thrill of temptation and the fear of consequences. But as Eli's lips claimed yours once more, all rational thought melted away, replaced by a primal hunger for the man before you.
You surrendered to him completely, your hands clutching his shirt as he ravished you with his kisses. "Eli..." you gasped, your voice filled with need and desire.
But Eli silenced you with another kiss, his hands exploring every inch of your body with a hunger that matched your own. In that moment of heated passion, you abandoned all pretense of resistance, giving in to the intoxicating allure of forbidden desire.
As the lines between mentor and mentee blurred, you embraced the carnal pleasure that Eli offered, knowing full well the risks and consequences that awaited. But in that fleeting moment of ecstasy, all that mattered was the raw, primal connection between two souls consumed by desire.
As Eli put his hands under your skirt and grabbed the waistband of your panties, you allowed it, continuing to kiss him while Eli discarded your panties around. You felt a thrill shoot through you as his touch ignited a fire within, your desire mounting with each passing moment.
Breaking the kiss, Eli's voice was husky with desire as he whispered, "I want to taste you, darling." Without waiting for a response, he unceremoniously dropped to his knees while you were sitting on his desk with your legs spread.
You watched with bated breath as Eli kissed his way up your legs, his movements deliberate and tantalizing. With your skirt pulled up higher, you exposed yourself to him, feeling a rush of excitement at his hungry gaze.
Eli's words washed over you like a wave of desire as he admired your beauty, his voice low and filled with admiration. "You're more beautiful than I imagined," he murmured, his breath hot against your skin. "So sweet and delicious... I've been dreaming of this moment for so long."
You moaned softly as Eli's lips neared your center, anticipation coursing through you like electricity. His praise fueled your arousal, your body quivering with anticipation as he finally reached his destination.
Feeling his warm breath against your sensitive flesh, you couldn't help but shiver with anticipation. "Eli..." you whispered, your voice trembling with desire.
But Eli needed no further encouragement as he delved into his task with eager enthusiasm. His tongue traced patterns on your skin, sending waves of pleasure coursing through you with each tantalizing stroke.
You gasped and arched your back, unable to contain the pleasure that consumed you. "Oh god, Eli..." you moaned, your fingers tangling in his hair as he worked his magic.
Eli's touch was electric, his movements expertly calculated to drive you wild with desire. As he explored every inch of your being with his tongue, you surrendered to the ecstasy of the moment, lost in a whirlwind of sensation and pleasure.
You gasped as Eli's thick fingers joined in exploring, and that made you close your legs for a moment around his head, suffocating him as you came in his mouth, grinding your hips against his mouth unconsciously.
When you finished and realized what you did, you quickly opened your legs and apologized to Eli, being embarrassed, but Eli seemed very pleased and arrogant. "Mmm, don't apologize, darling," he purred, his voice husky with desire. "You taste absolutely divine. I wouldn't mind if I died between your legs, suffocating on your sweetness. It's a good way to go."
You blushed furiously at his bold words, feeling a mix of arousal and embarrassment at his brazenness. "E-Eli, I..." you stuttered, struggling to find the right words.
But Eli simply smirked, his confidence unwavering as he reached for his wallet. "No need to be shy, my dear," he said, his tone laced with arrogance. "I liked it and that's what matters."
He took out a condom from his wallet, insisting on using it despite your protests that you were on birth control. "Safer, better safe than sorry," he declared, his voice leaving no room for argument before letting his pants fall around his ankles.
You watched with fascination as Eli unwrapped the condom, his movements deliberate and enticing. His thick member stood proudly before you, leaving you wondering if you would be able to handle it.
Eli seemed to notice your apprehension and reassured you with a smirk. "Don't worry, baby," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "You might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but with time, you'll be begging for more."
As he positioned himself between your legs, you couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mingled with nervousness. "Eli, I..." you started, your voice trembling with anticipation.
But Eli silenced you with a kiss, his lips capturing yours in a heated embrace. "Trust me, darling," he murmured against your skin, his voice like velvet. "I'll take good care of you."
With that, he entered you slowly, his movements controlled and deliberate. You gasped as he filled you completely, a mixture of pleasure and pain washing over you in waves.
As Eli began to move, his pace steady and unhurried, you surrendered to the sensation, lost in the ecstasy of the moment. With each thrust, he pushed you closer to the edge of pleasure, his touch igniting a fire within you that threatened to consume you whole.
You clung to him desperately, your nails digging into his skin as you rode the wave of passion together. "E-Eli," you moaned, your voice a breathless whisper.
But Eli only smiled, his eyes filled with a hunger that matched your own. "Let go, darling," he urged, his voice a seductive whisper. "Feel everything. Surrender to the pleasure."
And surrender you did, lost in a whirlwind of sensation and desire as Eli claimed you as his own. In that moment of raw, primal passion, there was no room for doubt or hesitation, only the intoxicating allure of forbidden desire.
He too lost himself in the sensation, his face contorting in pleasure. “Fuck, you’re tight,” he moaned, his voice husky with desire. "Even better than I imagined."
You whimpered as he pounded into you harder, the desk shaking beneath you as papers and pens scattered to the floor. You clung to him desperately, your nails digging into his skin as he claimed you as his own.
Eli's eyes fixated on your delicious pussy, his hunger palpable as he drove into you with reckless abandon. "You're mine now, darling," he growled, his voice dripping with possessiveness. "And I'm not letting you go."
He grabbed one of your legs, lifting it and placing it on his desk to get a better angle. With each thrust, he hit deeper, sending waves of pleasure coursing through you with each powerful stroke.
You moaned and whimpered, your body writhing beneath him as he claimed you as his own. "Oh, Eli," you gasped, your voice a breathless whisper.
But Eli only smirked, his movements relentless as he drove you closer to the edge of ecstasy. "That's it, baby," he purred, his voice filled with satisfaction. "Let me hear those sweet moans."
You complied, unable to hold back the sounds of pleasure that escaped your lips with each thrust. "Mmm, oh god," you moaned, your voice a symphony of desire.
Eli's hands roamed your body, exploring every inch of your skin as he worshipped you with his touch. "You like that, don't you, baby?" he teased, his voice laced with arrogance.
You nodded eagerly, unable to form coherent words as pleasure consumed you. "Yes, oh yes," you whimpered, your voice a desperate plea.
Eli grinned triumphantly, his ego swelling with each moan of pleasure you uttered. "Good girl," he praised, his voice filled with satisfaction. "Just wait until I'm finished with you. You'll be begging for more."
With that, he redoubled his efforts, pounding into you with even more fervor as the desk shook beneath you. You clung to him desperately, lost in a whirlwind of sensation and desire as he claimed you as his own.
And as you surrendered to the ecstasy of the moment, you couldn't help but wonder how you had ended up in this situation. But in that moment, all that mattered was the intoxicating allure of forbidden desire and the man who had ignited it within you.
Eli kept his eyes fixed on your delicious pussy, with just a single tuft of soft, neatly trimmed hair above your clit that only captivated Eli even more. He leaned in closer, his breath hot against your skin as he savored the sight before him.
But you reached out, grabbing his shirt and pulling him towards lower so that he was practically lying on you. Your hesitation disappeared as you became more confident, emboldened by the overwhelming desire coursing through your veins.
Eli smirked, his ego swelling with pride at the transformation he had sparked within you. He relished in your newfound boldness, reveling in the way you praised him with dirty talk in his ear, calling him a Professor and acknowledging his skill in the bedroom.
"You fuck so well, Professor," you whispered, your voice husky with desire. "I would have never imagined that an arrogant bastard like you could fuck so damn well."
Eli laughed at your words, his confidence unwavering even in the throes of passion. But he couldn't help but issue a warning, his tone laced with a hint of danger.
"Careful, my dear," he purred, his voice low and enticing. "I may be your Professor, but I have a darker side. And once you've tasted it, there's no going back."
You shivered at his words, a thrill coursing through you at the thought of exploring Eli's darker desires. But you pushed aside your fears, eager to dive deeper into the unknown with the man who had ignited your passion.
As Eli continued to ravish you with his kisses and caresses, you found yourself lost in a whirlwind of ecstasy. The boundaries between mentor and mentee blurred as desire consumed you both, driving you to new heights of pleasure.
"Hmm, oh god," you moaned, your voice a breathless whisper as Eli's touch ignited a fire within you. "Fuck, Eli, yes..."
Eli grinned triumphantly, his ego soaring as he reveled in the sounds of pleasure escaping your lips. He took pleasure in pushing you to the edge of ecstasy, his movements deliberate and calculated to drive you wild with desire and it didn't take long for you to climax.
And as you surrendered to the ecstasy of the moment, you couldn't help but wonder what other forbidden pleasures awaited you in Eli's arms.
As Eli reached his climax, his body tensed with pleasure, and he released a guttural groan of satisfaction. "Oh, [Your Name]!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with ecstasy as he spilled into the condom.
He couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret as he watched his cum fill the condom, wishing he could see it running down your thighs instead. But he quickly pushed aside his desires, reminding himself that it was better to be safe than sorry.
As he remained on top of you for a few moments, catching his breath, he felt your hands on his chest under his shirt, the warmth of your touch sending shivers down his spine. "Who would have thought you were such a naughty little slut," he teased, his voice laced with amusement.
But as he pulled out of you and left you unceremoniously on the table, he noticed a change in your demeanor. The light in your eyes had dimmed, replaced by a look of realization and regret.
Eli watched as you hastily put on your discarded panties, your movements frantic as you tried to distance yourself from what had just happened. His heart sank as he realized the impact of his words, the weight of his actions crashing down on you like a tidal wave.
"Oh my god, what have I done?" you whispered, your voice barely above a whisper as you processed the reality of what had just transpired. "Fucking a Professor like a slut?"
Eli tried to call out to you, to apologize for his callousness and reassure you that everything would be alright. But before he could utter a word, you were gone, slamming the door behind you as you fled from his office.
He ran to the door, his heart racing as he hoped to catch a glimpse of you in the hallway. But to his dismay, all he saw was an empty corridor, devoid of any sign of your presence. "Damn Michaelson!" he cursed aloud, frustration boiling over as he slammed the door shut behind him.
Leaning against the door, Eli banged his head against the hard surface, berating himself for his recklessness. "What the fuck..." he muttered, his voice filled with self-loathing. He knew he had risked everything by giving in to his desires, and now he would have to work twice as hard to make amends.
With a heavy sigh, Eli straightened up and composed himself, steeling his resolve to win you back. He knew he couldn't let you slip through his fingers so easily, not when he had invested so much time and effort into seducing you.
But as he glanced around his office, the reality of his situation sank in. He would have to correct the rest of the tests alone, a tedious and time-consuming task that he had been hoping to avoid. "Fuck," he muttered under his breath, frustration bubbling to the surface once again.
Eli sighed as he discarded the condom, he hated correcting tests with a passion, finding it to be a mind-numbingly dull chore. But even as he begrudgingly set to work, he couldn't help but smile arrogantly at the thought of having you exactly where he wanted you.
With each test he corrected, Eli's confidence grew, fueled by the knowledge that he had successfully seduced you once and could do it again. He relished in the power he held over you, the thrill of knowing that you were his to command.
As he worked tirelessly into the night, Eli made a vow to himself. Tomorrow, he would have you again, and this time, he wouldn't let you slip away so easily. Oh yes, you were his new pet now, and he would stop at nothing to make sure you stayed that way.

An ordinary, relaxing day of arriving at Bucky’s coffee shop and spending it working on a project was what you planned to do, however, a certain brunette had other ideas.

Tumblr media
The bell overhead chimed as you swung open the door, and you rushed inside, shivering and shaking from the sudden frigid cold. Your laptop bag swung heavily against your hip, and you breathed a sigh of relief when the warmth of your favourite coffee shop engulfed you fully. 
The smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sweet sugary undertone of baked treats filled your senses, then you heard the chirp of a meow at your feet, followed by the weight of a small, fluffy body winding its way around your legs. Alpine, the resident fluffball, was greeting you with as much enthusiasm as she could muster.
“Hi, precious girl,” you cooed, squatting down to greet your favourite cat. “How are you, missy? Keeping warm and staying outta trouble?”
“Causing it, more like,” a voice said from within the coffee shop, and you looked up, smiling happily. “You know what she’s like.”
“Takes after her–”
“If you say what I think you’re gonna say, you can keep it to yourself,” Bucky warned, finger pointed sternly at you. “Not starting that shit this damn early in the morning.”
You laughed and shook your head, rising to your feet – much to the disappointment of Alpine. “It is not my fault I found one of your secret kinks, Buck,” you giggled, striding over to your favourite table and unloading your laptop bag. “It just happened to happen when I was talking about what I was writing–hardly my fault.”
Bucky snorted and you looked over at him. He was staring at you with a deadpan expression, a brow raised slightly in challenge. “Yeah, sure,” he said, “I am pretty sure you did it on purpose.”
“I did not!” you said indignantly, hand over your heart in faux offence. “I just happened to write something that awakened something in you.”
“Whatever.” The hiss of the coffee machine sounded and then Bucky appeared around the counter, cup in hand with a plate of cookies in the other. “Your favourite, as per usual,” he drawled, placing the plate and cup down on your table before he took the seat opposite you, a sigh leaving his lips. “So, what’s on the agenda today, my Dove?”
You looked up from your cup and into Bucky’s handsome face. His long hair was tied back in a messy bun, and his shirt and apron were tight across his chest. The intricate tattoos on his neck were visible above his collar, while the ones on his right forearm were on show with his rolled up sleeve. The gleaming metal of his left shone in the warm overhead lights – a contrast of black and gold, so artistically beautiful that you couldn’t help but stare for a second too long. 
“Dove,” Bucky teased, tapping his metal fingers on the table top. “My eyes are up here, doll.”
“Oh, whatever,” you grumbled, ignoring the way your stomach fluttered at being caught red handed – the feelings you had long held for your best friend having long been an issue. “Anyway, today I am working on that chapter I told you about last night.”
“Ah.” Bucky nodded, glancing at your laptop quickly. “The one where your character takes on another one, and y’know, they hate fuck?”
The sip of coffee you just took almost ended up in your lap as you choked at Bucky’s words, and you looked at him wide-eyed. “What?!” you sputtered, wiping your mouth with a napkin. “I didn’t–”
Bucky grinned. “Oh, c’mon, Dove,” he chuckled, eyes bright with mischief. “I’m a reader too, I know where this goes.”
“I just haven’t heard you be so candid about fucking,” you blurted – the dreams and thoughts of doing just that with the man across from you rushing to the forefront of your imagination. “Just- Oh my god, a little warning next time.”
“Sure,” Bucky drawled, getting to his feet. “I’ll leave you to it, Miss ‘I don’t write fucking’.”
You stared at Bucky with your mouth open – never had he been so open, and if you weren’t dreaming… “Yeah, go, leave me alone,” you called to Bucky’s retreating back. “Shoo, leave me in peace.”
Bucky winked at you over his shoulder before he walked out the back, presumably getting more supplies, and it gave you a minute to think. 
Sure, you had been best friends with James Barnes for years now, and you’d been coming to his coffee shop for just as long to work on your novellas and ideas. You had learnt in that time that Bucky was also a reader, passionate about sci-fi and the likes, and he took a vested interest in what you were creating – supporting you tirelessly in your ventures. 
And here he was, openly… flirting? 
You sighed shakily, and put your fingertips to the keys on your keyboard. “Time to get to work,” you muttered. 
A few hours later, Bucky came and sat across from you again, this time with a sandwich on a plate, and a glass of iced coffee. “Lunch break, Dove, c’mon,” he urged, tapping the top of your laptop screen. 
“Just lemme finish this paragraph,” you said, bottom lip between your teeth. “Then I’ll stop.”
You saw Bucky nod out of the corner of your vision and pull out his phone, lazing back on the chair. 
It suddenly struck you just how similar Bucky was to the lead main character in your new story, and you felt a cold rush of panic spike through every nerve in your body with the realisation. 
Oh, no.
“Okay,” Bucky huffed, putting his phone away, and you hastily pretended to stare at your screen. “That’s enough. Lunch time.”
“Alright, alright, keep your pants on,” you replied, closing the screen. Bucky chuckled and pushed over the plate holding the delicious looking sandwich. “My hero, thank you,” you rushed, picking it up and taking a bite. 
“You’re welcome.” Bucky shifted and leant over to pat Alpine, who had just wandered over from her seat by the window to investigate the new food on the table. “So, did your characters–”
“Like you wanna know.” You rolled your eyes, smirking. “Awfully interested in it, aren’t you?”
Bucky shrugged, a lopsided grin pulling at his lips. “Just wanting to know how to best support my Dove–nothing wrong with that, is there?”
“You’re incorrigible,” you deadpanned. “But, yes.”
“Knew it,” Bucky whispered, fist pumping.
“Such a dork.”
You ate in companionable silence, and once you were done, Bucky took your plate to wash up, when you looked at the time – it was close to a meeting with an agent, and you would have to dash across town to get there in time. “Actually, Buck?”
“Yeah?” he called from the kitchen, poking his head around the door to look at you. “What?”
“Can I get a cup to go? I gotta get across town to a meeting.” As you spoke, you started to pack away your notebooks and laptop. “And your coffee always keeps me going.”
Bucky smiled, and nodded. “You got it, hang on.” He disappeared again and you got to your feet to walk to the counter, when he reappeared, bag in hand. “This is for you.”
The bag was just a plain paper bag, and you stared at Bucky suspiciously. “What–?”
“Just take it, Dove,” Bucky said, handing it over. You took it and then Bucky walked to the machine, snagging one of the biggest to-go cups he had. “I want you to have it.”
“That’s sweet,” you whispered, about to peer inside, when Bucky clicked his tongue. 
“Wait–open it later, when you’re home. It’ll be a good thing to have after a long day, alright?”
“Okay,” you drew out, narrowing your eyes. 
Bucky smiled innocently, and handed you the to-go cup. “Good luck, my little Dove–I know you got this.”
You said your goodbyes to both Bucky and Alpine, and began your journey across town, constantly unable to scratch the itch of curiosity for what was stored in the brown paper bag.
After the meeting that went quite successfully, if you said so yourself, you arrived home to your apartment, paper bag in hand. “Okay, time to see what trouble you’re causing, Barnes,” you mumbled, placing the bag on the kitchen counter with a sigh. The paper rustled as you opened it, and the smell of sugar hit you full force – an array of sweets, all of your favourites, both cooked by him and his baker business partner, Steve, lay in neat, clear boxes. 
“Oh my god,” you whispered, reaching into the bag and pulling out a note. “What–”
Neat handwritten scrawl decorated the page, and you sat down on a nearby stool to read. 
To my little Dove, 
You smiled, the name making the flood of butterflies in your tummy flutter to life. 
Know that if you’re reading this, I finally worked up the courage to ask this. Maybe not in a conventional way, but I know you very well by now, and by no means are you a conventional lass. So, forgive me. 
Confusion flooded you, much like the panic before in his shop. You hastened to continue.
Come with me to the bookstore on main street this weekend. I’ll text you the details once you’ve had time to enjoy the treats I gathered for you. 
And, yes – this is me asking you out on a date. 
With love, your Bucky.
The paper fell to the floor, and you squealed as you scrambled to grab your phone, only to see a text notification from the man himself. 
I said to enjoy your treats first, doll. 
You laughed and grabbed the bag. “If you say so, you sly bastard.”

The Song That Follows 🎶
Tumblr media
<Modern!Eddie Munson x Female Reader>
Summary-A love song from one of your favorite movies seems to follow you wherever you go and starts to play into your real life ; Prom is just around the corner as well. Word Count-6.7k Warnings-Friends to lovers ; A mention of sleeping together but none is written ; Takes place in 2023.
A/N-Well holy crap, here I am writing for the first time since 2011 probably? I'm a bit rusty, but I hope you enjoy! Just a funny side note, Mrs. K is based off of a real life teacher I had in high school. She did come to my prom drunk (LOL). She also did ask my friends and I to help for the extra credit for a school event but we kindly declined. :) (also I'm insanely obsessed with this song, I hope you love it as well!)
You - Hey! I’m in need of your assistance for the next Photoshop Challenge for Photography, can you meet me in the computer lab after school?
Jonathan - sure, no problem. I’ll see you then!
As the final bell of the day rang you made you way to the computer lab to meet Jonathan, grateful he was willing to help considering you hated asking your own teachers questions yourself. You knew senior year wasn’t going to be easy but as the end of the year started getting closer and closer you couldn’t believe that you and your friends were off to college. Soon there would be one more lunch together, one more after school meet up and one more meeting in the computer lab.
“Hey you finally beat me.” You say walking up to Jonathan who’s waiting for you outside the door.
“Last class was right around the corner, you ready to tackle this assignment?”
“Let’s do it.” 
Time passed as you and Jonathan worked on your homework together. Your objective was to take a photo but add in a random object, then having to take said random object out of the photo with editing. You both were concentrating so hard you didn’t even notice your Sociology teacher, Mrs. K, walking up between you two.
“Good afternoon!”
“Hey Mrs. K, how are you?” You ask smiling. Mrs. K was one of your favorite teachers. She was defiantly a little off but was still the life of the party during class.
“I’m doing well missy thank you for asking. I’m so glad I found you both together, I need to ask you a possible favor.”
“And what would that be?”
“I’m head of the prom committee this year and in need of more volunteers. Just a few students to help out with small things for the night.”
“Ah, and what’s in it for us?” Jonathan asks, smirking.
She laughs and shakes her head. “You know me too well Mr. Byers. Extra credit. I’ll let you know a few weeks before what your jobs will be and it will go towards your final grade of the year. I’ll even knock off some final questions.”
“That’s really nice of you to ask us for help Mrs. K but I already have plans on prom night.” You answer with a pretend sad look on your face. You knew you never wanted to go to prom. You hated getting dressed up, wearing makeup, hell doing your own routine in the morning was frustrating enough.
“Plans already? Prom is another month away how do you already have plans?”
“They just happened to fall on prom night. Look, can we talk it over and get back to you?”
“Sure, I’ll be at the front desk working. Thank you both for your consideration.” With a huge pat on the back to the both of you, she walks away.
“I’m just as confused, how do you have plans already set in stone?” Jonathan raises an eyebrow.
“Like I said, they just happen to fall on the same night as prom. I wasn’t planning on going anyway.”
“Well, let’s think this over real quick. Save your file.” You quickly save your edited work and turn to Jonathan. “This is easy extra credit. Who cares if we have to listen to terrible pop music and dress up for one night. We could even ask Nancy, Eddie and Robin to help too. We can all go as a group. It might be worth it.”
“Nancy and Robin would be on board, Eddie is another story.”
“Why?”
“I know him, okay? Prom is not his style or the place he wants to be.”
“But it’s extra credit. Like I said, easy extra credit. I’m in. How about you?” You thought about it for a moment. He was right, it IS super easy extra credit. Your grade could use a pick me up, and it would be a fun night with friends regardless.
“Okay, you convinced me. Let’s go tell Mrs. K when we’re done editing.” Once you heard the announcement of the computer lab closing you both approached Mrs. K and told her you were in. She was very delighted and thanked you a million times and gave lots of hugs. 
Now the difficult part is coming up, canceling your plans to volunteer on prom night. I’m sure the news will be taken lightly considering the situation, what could possibly go wrong? Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough, right?
Tumblr media
Your locker slams shut. “YOU WHAT?”
“Don’t raise your voice on me Munson.” You turn around and begin to head down the hallway towards the lunchroom.
“Come on, we’ve had these plans for months. We made a vow-”
“Yes yes I know we did.”
“And you want to fall to the broken conformity that is…fucking prom?!” You stop and turn around again this time facing him yourself.
“Look Eddie I’m sorry but this is the easiest extra credit you can receive. You have Mrs. K too why don’t you sign up as well. I’m sure you of all people need the exert credit.”
“Wow, ouch.” This time he takes the lead in walking.
“Well it’s too late, I’ll be there. I still think you should go. Our whole group is going to be there so it won’t be like you're alone.”
“That’s not really the point-”
“Then can you please for one night not be the kid who thinks he’s too cool for school?”
“Still not the point but I’m ending this conversation now.”
“Yeah yeah, whatever.” You both enter the lunchroom and find Nancy, Robin and Jonathan at your usual table.
“Whoa, what’s got your panties in a bunch?” Robin asks Eddie.
“This one,” Eddie points to you, “has canceled plans with me.”
“Oh, whoa is me.” Robin has always been the one for dramatics and you softly laugh to yourself while getting your lunch out.
“Did these plans happen to fall on prom night?” Jonathan then asks.
Eddie rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed even at the word. “Yes they did. Why? Are you to blame for this?” 
“Blame for what? Is this about Mrs. K’s extra credit volunteering?” Nancy interjects.
“I am to blame for this then. Yes, Mrs. K asked us yesterday in the computer lab and we accepted.”
“She asked Robin and I in class today. We signed up too, figured it would be fun.”
“Nancy, you have an A already you don’t need the extra credit.” 
“Yes that’s true but after she told us you two were helping we thought we could go as a group to stick together.”
“My thoughts exactly. See?” Jonathan smiles at you and the girls. Eddie slumps in his chair and sighs.
“I’ll just be alone, in my room, with my guitar and uncle in the other room as he watches reruns of Wheel of Fortune all night.”
“Come on Eddie, can’t you suck it up for one night?” Robin shakes his arm and pouts as she speaks. “It will be a lot of fun. And we can all hang out afterword.”
“I don’t know guys I really don’t want to.”
“Just give it a thought okay? I bet you could use the extra credit as well.” Nancy says.
“Jesus Christ…”
Tumblr media
Hey I still feel bad about changing our plans, can I please make it up to you?
1 New Notification 
Eddie - what do you have in mind??
Well I was going to ask if I can join in on Hellfire for the rest of the month but considering I almost killed our whole party in one of our last sessions I don’t think I’m ever welcomed back.
…yeah Dustin and Lucas are still mad about that…can we just have our movie night some other time?
Absolutely! What works for you?
Next Friday?
Perfect, see you then! :)
Tumblr media
Movie night was an essential part of your friendship with Eddie. Every other Friday you would get together and watch one of your favorite films. This time it was Eddie’s trailer with you bringing the snacks and choosing the film. And after another long boring day of school you were exited about spending the night with your best friend.
After knocking three times Eddie rushed to the door to let you in. “About time, what was taking so long?”
“I over bought, get ready for your freezer to be full again.”
“Hey, I’m not complaining. Wayne will be happy about it too.” He steps aside to let you in, putting all your bags on the counter.
“Speaking of, where is my favorite long lost uncle?”
“Working per usual but he says hello.” You and Eddie spend the next few minutes getting everything set up. Snacks on the coffee table while the oven baked your favorite appetizers. “Alight so it’s your choice tonight. What streaming service are we using?”
“Amazon Prime.” You answer, grabbing the remote and loading up the app on his TV.
“Hm, different.”
“Eddie Munson, get ready to watch one of the best film of the 80’s. Personally, one of my favorite’s. Not only is it one of my favorite’s but the soundtrack is perfect is every single way.”
“Okay, so what’s it called?”
“Streets of Fire. A rock and roll fable.”
“If it’s one of the best movies of the 80’s why have I never heard of it?”
“Have I also mentioned it is very underrated?”
“Well now you have. Okay, press play.”
“With pleasure.” You press play and the movie begins.
An hour and half seem to pass like it’s nothing. You knew you were going to enjoy the movie but was curious to how Eddie would react. Every so often you would steal some glances at him, and his eyes never left the screen. Hell he never even got up to go to the bathroom or to get more food. “Well…what do you think?”
“That was…wow.”
“Wow good or wow bad? You’re killing me.”
“You weren’t kidding. I loved it. Why isn’t it more well known?”
“Beats me. My Dad showed it to me a few years ago.”
“Why didn’t you show me sooner?”
“Dunno, just came to mind one day and I figured it would be perfect for a movie night and well, here we are. Plus like I said the soundtrack is one of my favorites, I listen to is constantly.”
“Good choice, good choice.” He nods his head in approval and you smile. “Come on, let’s get this place cleaned up.” As you both continue to tidy up you can’t help but think of how Eddie won’t be joining you and your friends for prom.
“Hey.” He looks at you. “Are you sure you don’t want to come to prom with us? It really is going to be fun.” He just laughs and shakes his head. “Eddie…”
“I’m not going hun. I’m sorry, I just don’t want you. None of you can convince me otherwise.” You accept defeat. As much as you want him to join you you know it’s going to be difficult to talk him into going. It’ll take a miracle to get him there. So you figured from that point on you shouldn’t waste your time. 
The end of the night arrived and it was time for you to head back home. You give him a quick hug and he watches you walk back to your car. When you safely enter he closes the trailer door. As your phone connects to car, I Can Dream About You by Dan Hartman pops up as your first shuffled song. “Huh, that’s funny.” You sing along to your favorite song from Streets of Fire and drive on home.

2 New Notification 
Nancy - I’m sorry but Robin is about to text you about dress shopping, just wanted to warn you.
Robin-HEYYYY WE’RE GOING DRESS SHOPPING TODAY AND YOU CAN’T TELL US NO SEE YOU LATER OKAY BYEEEEEEEEE.
“I can’t believe you pulled me out on a Saturday to go dress shopping.” You, Robin and Nancy are standing outside your local mall.
“Ladies,” Robin turns to you both, “I’m what you would call a fashionista.”
“You most certainly are not-” “Far from it actually-” You and Nancy answer at the same time.
“Okay okay, I get it. But you will thank me later when I help pick out your dresses. Now, let’s go girls.” She struts herself into the mall. You and Nancy (again at the same time) roll your eyes and follow right behind her, passing all the local shops until you reach the dress shop.
“This is my own personal nightmare.” You whisper to yourself.
“Heard that, and trust me. Don’t you trust me?” Robin asks.
“NO.” Again, you and Nancy speak in unison.
“Please stop doing that, it’s freaking me out. Now, leave me to my duties. I shall be back in a jiffy.” Nancy takes a seat at the front of the store while you lean against the glass wall.
“Do you really trust her with this shit?” You look over at Nancy who’s scrolling through her phone.
“Honestly no, but we had no choice but to be here or we wouldn’t hear the end of it. So let her have her fun. Who knows, maybe she’ll find us some good choices.”
Turns out Robin was good with fashion if she put her mind to it. She picked out a few dresses for Nancy which she tried on, settling on the third choice. Once it was your turn, Robin led you to your dressing room, closing the curtain. “Um, Robin there’s only one dress in here.”
“I know, try it on. I have my reasons.” You look over the dress, touching it with ease. You admire how pretty it really is and thought you would pick it out yourself if you saw it on the rack. You quickly change out of your clothes into the dress, only to find your having trouble with the zipper. 
“Hey, need help with the zipper. Can’t seem to reach.” You open the curtain and Robin quickly helps, then taking a step back.
“Whoa.” This time, it’s her and Nancy speaking at the same time.
“Whoa good or whoa bad?”
“Whoa good. Look at yourself.” You turn around towards the mirror and step onto the pedestal. You were never for dressing up but this dress was just, perfect.
“Damn Robin, you out did yourself.” You complaint her work, turning around and admiring how the dress fits you perfectly.
“I told you, I have my reasons.”
“And those reasons were?” 
A familiar song starts playing in the store.
“Well for one, the dress is just you. And two-”
“Wait, wait sorry. Hold on.” You point your finger to the speaker and smile. “Sorry, I just love this song.”
“Okay, random.”
“What song is it?” Nancy seemed curious.
“It’s called I Can Dream About You. It’s from the 80’s, it’s actually from one of my favorite soundtracks.”
“What movie?”
“Streets of Fire? Why are you questioning me so much?”
“Because I knew this sounded familiar. Mike was listening to it in his room. When I asked him about the song he said Eddie told him to listen to it.”
“He, he did?”
“Yeah, he said they all started talking about movies and Eddie brought it up. He said he watched it with you-”
“WHICH leads me to reason number two,” Robin interrupts, “this dress will knock Eddie off his feet.” 
“Very funny Robin.” You step down and cross your arms.
“I mean Robin isn’t wrong, Eddie would love this on you.” Nancy agrees, looking you up and down.
“When did this fantasy about Eddie and I start?”
“Oh please, we’ve all known since we were like 15. You belong together, and we all think it.”
“And we all is…?”
“Everyone in our group, even Eddie. But of course he won’t admit it himself because he’s stubborn and men never admit their feelings.”
“Robin-”
“Hush,” she covers your mouth “it is my mission to get you both together by the end of senior year. Also,” she uncovers your mouth, “this song is clearly a sign.”
“Okay Robin you’re loosing it-”
“Oh come on! Don’t you think it’s coincidental that you hear this song while shopping and then learn how Mike was listening to it after you just happen to show Eddie this movie a few weeks ago?” She perks her head to the side, she once again, wasn’t wrong.
“Well-”
“Tell me I’m wrong.”
“You’re not. And after Eddie and I watched it, it was the first song to pop up on my shuffle.” Robin raises her arms to the sky.
“See?! It’s fate. It’s going to happen I can guarantee it. I will work my magic. Now, let’s go pay for these beauties.” She once again struts her way this time to the cashier.
“And do you have a say in all of this?” You ask Nancy.
“Well, the dress is gorgeous. And I also think you and Eddie belong together. That’s all.” 
“Awesome, great thanks. Can you please unzip me?” Nancy helps as you make your way back in and get dressed back into your normal attire.

Senior Week had finally arrived, which meant prom was on Friday. Today was a half day for the senior class. It was also the day you found out your special jobs. Thankfully being the wonderful teacher she is, Mrs. K kept you and your friends together and assigned you to help decorate apart of the gym the morning of. Your last event of the day was lunch. “So, what’s this big news you have to share Jonathan?”
“Wait until Eddie comes and I’ll let you all know.” After a few minutes, Eddie sits himself next to you taking out his headphones.
“Sorry, got held up in the library working on an assignment. What’s your big news?”
“I have a surprise for you guys.”
“And what would that be?” Nancy asks.
“Argyle is flying in from California to go to prom with us.”
“No way?!” “That’s awesome!” “Sweet!” Everyone seemed super excited about Argyle flying in, except for Eddie.
“Well, I’m sure you all will have fun together.”
“Come on Munson, you seriously don’t want to come?” Robin sticks out her lip.
“No no and fuck no. You can keep trying but nothing is going to convince me to go.”
“You suck, you know that?”
“Nothing new.” He states.
Jonathan jumps back into the conversation to change the subject. “Yeah, he’s really excited about coming. He can’t wait to see you all.”
“We’re excited to see him too, it’s been so long. FaceTime and Zoom can only do so much.” You say.
“True. So, how was shopping for your dresses?”
“It actually went pretty well. Turns out Robin has an eye for fashion when she puts her mind to it.” Nancy answers.
“What do the dresses look like?”
You begin to answer, “Well mine is-”
“NOPE. Keep your mouth shut!” Robin yells.
“The heck is up with you?” Eddie asks.
“It’s all a surprise. You’ll have to wait until Friday to see how we look.”
“But I’m not even going.”
“Then you’re missing out.” Robin says matter-of-faculty. You knew what she was doing and you hated it, but you also wanted to see what the outcome would be.
“Whatever, you guys have fun. I’ll be home if you change your mind.” He says to you, picking up his stuff and leaving. When he was getting up he unlocked his phone and pressed play on a song popping in his headphones, you caught a quick glimpse of it and your eyes went wide. After he took a few steps away, they all look at you confused.
“What?” You ask.
“Why did it look like your eyes were going to budge out of your sockets?” Jonathan asks, concerned if anything.
“Oh, nothing. I’m fine.”
“You look like you saw a ghost just now. What gives?”
“I said it’s nothing-”
“You sure you’re okay?”
“Yes, thank you though.”
Robin smirks. 
Tumblr media
Prom Night approached a lot quicker then you expected. Senior Week flew by so quick you now found yourself at Nancy’s house with Robin getting ready. Peter Gabriel’s Your Eyes playing through the speakers in her room. You spent most of the morning at school getting your extra credit in with Mrs. K and other classmates. When 2pm hit the clock she dismissed and thanked you all for your hard work. Jonathan agreed to pick everyone up along with Argyle.
“I’m so tired from earlier I don’t think I’m going to make it through the night.” You say.
“Oh you’ll be fine. Once we all get there your energy will pick up.” Nancy says. You nod your head and continue working on your makeup.
“And that was Peter Gabriel’s Your Eyes on 102.7, hits from yesterday and today. I’m Michelle, your DJ for the next few hours. The all request zone is coming up, so call in or shoot us a text to get your fav songs on the air! I’ll be back after these messages.”
“Hm, that sounds fun. I’ll be right back.” Robin says as she exits the room.
“What does she mean?” Nancy asks.
“Beats me, maybe she’s going to the bathroom.” A few moments pass as Robin enters back into the room with a smile on her face, a few minutes pass until the DJ begins talking on the radio again.
“Alight everyone and we’re back. We had a few calls and texts coming in. I want to kick off our request zone with a message from a young lady named Robin! She called in for a message for a friend, quote ‘Please change your mind, you won’t regret it. She’s going to look stunning and gorgeous and you know you’re going to kick yourself for it.’ And with that, here’s her request ‘I Can Dream About You’ by Dan Hartman!” The song starts playing
“ROBIN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?” You scream, dropping your eyeliner.
“Hey, you never know, Eddie could be listening. Plus, let’s flashback to yesterday shall we? You know damn well what you saw on his phone. He was listening to this song when he got up and you saw it on his lock screen, wasn’t he?” You stare at her. “Well?”
“Wait, is she for real?” Nanny questions putting down her hair supplies  down, now entertained.
“…Yes. He was listening to it.” You admit, looking down at the floor.
“SEE? I knew it. Fate, it’s going to happen. He’s showing up tonight.”
“No, he’s not. I know him better than you, he doesn’t listen to the radio that much. Mainly just his phone. There’s only one good rock station in this town and it’s rare he even listens to that.”
“Well I thought it was worth a shot. I guarantee he’ll come. I can feel it.” You just shake your head and continue with your makeup. “Anyhow, ladies. Let’s get glammed.”
Tumblr media
After a few hours cooped up in Nancy’s bedroom, you all found yourselves taking photos in the Wheelers living room.
“You girls look so beautiful, so grown up!” Mrs. Wheeler wipes away a tear while clicking her photo button multiple times.
“Okay Mom, that’s enough.” Nancy states.
“Oh one more please?!” DING DONG.
Nancy whispers a small “thank god” as Mrs. Wheeler gets the door to greet Jonathan and Argyle.
“What up my Hawkins family?!” Argyle enters with arms wide open. You, Nancy and Robin all run to him and engulf him in the biggest hug.
“We’ve missed you! We’re so glad you came for this!” You say.
“I’m glad too! Jonathan gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse.”
“Yeah yeah, you all look great by the way.” Jonathan bows to you all as Argyle follows along. Mrs. Wheeler insists on taking more photos together and you all agree because you can see she’s still so emotional.
“Okay, I’ll let you all go. You have fun, stay safe and text me updates please!” You all then give her a hug when you hear honking coming from outside the house.
“What the hell is that?” Ronin questions looking out the window. “Oh, no way.”
“Yeah, I came barring gifts my friends.” Argyle leads to the front door.
“COME ON SENIORS, WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE.” And there you see Steve, leaning up against a car.
“Oh you can’t just stay away from Hawkins even after you graduated can you Harrington?” You yell to him, walking out and meeting him.
“And miss all my friends going to their senior prom? Never, come here.” You give him a hug and look at the car. 
“Whose car?” Robin points to the shiny black car.
“Argyle rented it for you guys for the night, and I will be your chauffeur.”
“You didn’t have to do that.” Nancy says to Argyle.
“It’s no problemo, figured it can be my thank you to you all for the invite and for Jonathan letting me crash at his place so I didn’t have to stay at a hotel.”
“Look at the time, let’s get you guys to prom. I’m driving, so I’m playing DJ.” Steve opens the back door for everyone as you pile in and make your way towards Hawkins High.
Approaching the school was overwhelming. There were teachers, parents and cars everywhere. It took awhile for Steve to pull up to the entrance but you finally made it. After parking the car Steve turns around to face you all. “Okay kids, prom ends at midnight and I will be here on the dot to pick you up. No later than that okay?”
“Thanks Dad. See you then.” Robin says rolling her eyes, a specialty of her’s at this point. You all exit the car and make your way into the gymnasium. 
“Place looks great, our hard work paid off.” Jonathan states, looking around.
“You all did this?” Argyle asked in amazement.
“Well some of it yes.” You answer.
“Rad.” 
The night rolls on smoothly. You’re all horribly dancing to terrible TikTok hits and overplayed songs on the radio, but that’s not stopping you from having a good time. Although every time you would greet a fellow classmate, the majority asked where Eddie was. It hurt but you can’t say you didn’t try. You even tried to request a few songs to the DJ but he just looked at you like you had three heads. However when you requested Taylor Swift he was happy to oblige.
“I’m going to go get some water, anyone want any?” You yell over the music.
“No but we’ll meet you over by the tables, we need a break.” Robin says, pointing to where they’re going to be. You give her a thumbs up and head over to the water table, filling your cup and taking a huge gulp. Who knew dancing would take up this much energy.
“Hey there sonny!” Mrs. K comes on over standing next to you.
“Hi Mrs. K! You look beautiful.”
“As do you! How’s your night going?” Mrs. K seemed a little too upbeat and standing a bit too close. Smelling her breath you knew she definitely had a few to drink before arriving.
“It’s going great. We’re having a fun time.”
“Awesome! Hey, I meant to ask you all earlier. Where’s that Munson kid?” She looks around the dance-floor.
“He’s not coming. He had obligations set already.” 
“Ah, shame, I thought for sure he would be your date.” She playfully hit your arm raising her eyebrows.
“Yeah everyone seems to keep telling me that.” You take another sip of your water.
“Shame shame shame…” She begins to dance and sing, …”sHAME SHAME SHAAMEEE…”
“Here Mrs K,” you hand her a cup of water, “I’m going to go find my friends.” You quickly walk away and return to your group.
“What’s up with Mrs. K?” Jonathan asks.
“I think she may have had some drinks before coming in tonight.”
“Why am I not surprised?” Nancy laughs.
“Yeah I thought something was off about that lady. Is she always like that?” Argyle asks.
“YES.” You all answer in unison, laughing even harder. You all notice the DJ slowing the songs down, indicating it was time for some slow dancing to take place. You all look at eachother, shake your heads and sit on down. You start conversations about your senior year, how Argyle’s school year was back in California and small talk when you notice a familiar song starting to play.
 I Can Dream About You starts playing over large speakers.
“Oh my god, you have got to be kidding.” You say, shaking your head and placing it in your arms on the table.
“What?” Jonathan asks.
“Nothing, it’s this song playing.”
“What about the song?”
“Fate…” Robin says, looking behind you.
“What do you mean fate?” Jonathan was very confused.
“Fate for what?” Argyle was also very confused.
“Fate…” Nancy says.
“What is going on?! And how is the DJ playing this song right now?!” Nancy and Robin nod and point towards the opposite side of the room. You turn around to look and there standing across the way in a dark red button up, black pants and boots is Eddie.
“Holy shit…”
“FATE, I KNEW IT. GO GO GO.” Robin pushes you up. You straighten out your dress and begin to walk towards him. He begins to walk towards you and you meet in the middle of the dance-floor.
“Hey.” You speak first.
“Hey.” He answers.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Well, a little birdie told me you would look stunning and gorgeous and I just couldn’t pass up that opportunity now could I?” He takes your hand and spins you around to get a better look at you.
“Wait, you actually listened to the radio?”
“Glad I did this time.” Smiling he takes your hand, grabs your waist and you both begin swaying together to the music.
“I can assure you I didn’t put her up to it.”
“I believe you, Robin has balls.” You laugh and look back up at him.
“You look handsome by the way, I’m really glad you showed up.”
“Thanks, me too.” He says quietly. You both continue to dance together, soon enough leaning your head against his chest and listening to his heartbeat. You felt like you were on cloud nine, in a dream. Once the song faded out you separate but he pulls you into a hug, leaving a light kiss on the top of your head. You thought you were going to melt but kept it together.
“By the way, how did you get the DJ to play the song? I requested stuff earlier and he looked at me like I was crazy.”
“I may have slipped him a $20.”
“Eddie Munson you are something else.” You say. You grab his hand and lead him over to the table.
“You actually made it!” Robin gets up first pulling him into a hug followed by Nancy and then Jonathan and Argyle. 
“What made you change your mind?”
“Change of heart, that’s all. Plus it’s halfway over.” He shrugs. He wasn’t going to admit he heard the message on the radio, he didn’t want to give Robin the satisfaction.
“Are you surrrre that’s the only reason why? Huh Huh?!” Robin smirks. Now she’s having way too much fun.
“Hey, you guys did a great job by the way. Place looks awesome.” Eddie points around the room trying so hard to change the subject.
“Thanks, I think we did pretty good.” You say looking around as well.
“So, now what?”
“We dance some more. The night is young my friends!” Robin twirls and starts making her way back to the dance-floor.
“Actually it’s 11:15 so it’s almost time to go.” Argyle yells following her, as does Nancy and Jonathan.
“I was actually going to ask if I can steal you for the rest of the night after this is over.” You smile and look down at the floor. Again, cloud nine. Butterflies and all.
“Movie night?”
“Movie night.”
“COME ON LOVEBIRDS A FEW MORE SONGS PLEASE.” Robin yells, you shrug your shoulders grab his arm and pull him into the crowd against his will.
Tumblr media
The stroke of midnight soon hit and everyone began to leave. You and your friends exit and find Steve leaning up against his car waiting just like earlier.
“Hey Munson, I didn’t know you were coming.” Steve says, shocked to see him.
“Yeah I didn’t think I was going to make it either but I did.” He says.
“Alright kids, where to? The diner, home, a party?”
“The diner please, I’m starving.” Argyle says.
“You’re always hungry Argyle.” Jonathan laughs getting in the car. Steve makes his way over to the drivers side.
“I’m going with Eddie, so I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” You tell them.
“Okay, drive safe!” Everyone says their final goodbyes as you and Eddie walk over to his van. Ronin leaves you with a wink and pointed finger guns, as you flip her off in the process. 
Tumblr media
The ride back was calm, as music quietly played in the background. As you approach the trailer, you see Wayne exiting the front door.
“Hey Mr. Munson.” You say walking up to him.
“How many times do I have to tell you, it’s Wayne?” He laughs pulling you into a hug.
“I can’t it’s too weird.”
“Well would you look at you. Absolutely beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“Did y’all have a good time?”
“Yes, yes we did. Glad it’s over.” Eddie answers walking over to you both.
“I’m glad to hear that. Well I’m off too work. You both have a goodnight, don’t have too much fun now…”
“Wayne come on…” Eddie sighs walking over and unlocking the door.
“It was good to see you Mr. Munson. Have a safe night at work.”
“Thank you sweetheart.” He nods his head and leaves. You follow behind Eddie and enter.
“I’m going to get you a change of clothes.” 
“Great thanks.” You sit on the couch and take off your shoes, thankful you no longer have to wear them any longer. Eddie walks back out with some clothes in his hand.
“Here you go, the bathroom is all yours. I’m going to get changed in my bedroom.”
“Thanks.” You make your way into the bathroom, only to realize you need help with the zipper. “Shit. Hey Eddie?”
“You okay?”
“Yeah I just need help with my zipper.” You meet him outside the door, he comes out in pj pants and no shirt. You immediately turn around to so your eyes don’t wonder. “It’s uh-”
“I see it don’t worry.” You feel him slowly taking the zipper down your side, holding onto the dress so it doesn’t fall in the process. Your breath starts to pick up and you have to talk yourself into slowing down. You’ve seen him shirtless countless times but this feels different. “Okay, you’re good.”
“Thanks again-” You start to walk back into the bathroom when you feel his hand catch your arm.
“Wait.” You turn around looking up at him. And before you could ask what he wanted, your lips crash. You’re shocked, excited and turned on all at the same time. This is something you’ve wanted, craved for a few years now. Constantly suppressing your feelings because you thought you were crazy, but this, you couldn’t even believe it. Without thinking you wrap your arms around his neck and move in closer, you swore time stopped. As you both part slowly, your dress falls to the floor. “Oh shit!” Eddie covers his eyes and turns around. “I promise I didn’t see anything.” You laugh and bring the dress back up covering yourself again.
“It’s okay. Um, I’m going to get changed now.”
“Yeah you do that I’ll find a movie.” You head back into the bathroom, lock the door and take the deep breath you were holding in. Replaying the moment in your head and doing a tiny happy dance in the process. Eddie gave you pair of pj pants as well with an old Iron Maiden shirt. You lay your dress over the tub and find some makeup remover in the cabinet. You knew Eddie sometimes wore a bit of eyeliner when he played his shows with Corroded Coffin, sometimes you even helped him out with his own fear of poking his eye. After taking off your makeup and cleaning yourself up you headed back out to the living room to find Eddie on his couch scrolling through Netflix. 
You slowly approach him. “Eddie?” He looks up at you. “I really don’t want to watch a movie.”
“I was hoping you would say that.” He gets up and practically runs to you once again connecting his lips to yours, quickly picking you up as you wrap your legs around his waist. You part from his and lean your head against his. “What took us so long?”
“Stupid teenager hormones? Peer pressure? Finally realizing your true feelings?” You answer.
“Sounds about right.” He laughs, kissing you again and walking you both back to his bedroom without breaking the kiss.
Tumblr media
The morning sun was peaking through the window. You squint your eyes and look over at the clock on the nightstand. 8:25am. You rub your eyes and start to get up when you feel some extra weight on you. Eddie’s arm was wrapped around your waist, not giving you enough movement. You smile to yourself and bring yourself closer to him, only to feel him wiggle.
“What time is it?” He asked in a sleepy voice.
“Almost 8:30.”
“Fuck, that’s so early.” He responds pulling you closer.
“It’s really not.” You reply laughing at how sleepy he is. You reach over to your phone on the nightstand and see some text messages.
Robin-Are you awake yet??
Please tell me you’re awake I know it’s 8am but plz.
HHHEEELLLOOOO?
PLZ ANSWER IM DYING TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m awake NOW. 
(unsent) Just please don’t call-
Too late, Robin started a FaceTime call.
“Buckley?” Eddie asks.
“Yup. Can I pick up?”
“Might as well. She should be the first to know.”
“Know what?”
“That we’re kinda official now?” You blush and pick up the phone trying to hide Eddie from sight.
“Hey Robin.”
“HOLY SHIT I’M DYING WHAT HAPPENED?”
“Robin calm down it’s still early and-”
“And we’re just waking up together in the same bed. Can we please call you back after we have some coffee?” Eddie comes into frame. Robin has the biggest grin and smile on her face.
“FINALLY! GUYS THEY DID IT. THEY’RE FINALLY-” Eddie reaches over and presses the hang up button.
“Hey-”
“Hey nothing. I want you to myself this morning.” He flips you so you’re facing him and brings you into a kiss. 
“Did you mean it?”
“Mean what?” 
“That we’re official.”
“Well I think the proper way would be to take you on a few dates, then ask you to be my girlfriend then sleep together but considering we went out of order I just kind of figured you wouldn’t mind.”
“No no, not at all.” You laugh bringing him back down for another kiss. “But I will take you up on that coffee.”
“Will do.” He gets up and starts to head out to the kitchen.
“WAIT.”
“What what?”
“Put some clothes on.” You say throwing him his pants from the night before.
“Yeah that would have been awkward when Wayne gets home.” He slips them on. “By the way, my alarm is going to go off at 8:45 so you can just hit the button.”
“Okay.” You get up yourself and find the clothes he gave you on the floor. As you’re getting dressed, Eddie’s alarm goes off with the radio going off. Right when the song begins to play, Eddie runs back into his bedroom and you just stare at the clock.
🎶 I don’t understand it, can’t keep my mind off loving you  🎶 
“You have got to be kidding.” You whisper.
“I uh, I think we have a song.” Eddie says, looking over at you.
“Yeah, yeah I think we do.”

(Y/N) felt like she was ready to rip her hair out. Ava, her three year old daughter, would not listen for anything today, and she felt like she was at the end of her rope. She'd only turned there four months ago, how could the 'terrible threes' settle in that fast?
Everything was a fight today. Getting her out of bed, picking out her outfit, giving her breakfast, and the list continued from there. She wanted to challenge every and anything that (Y/N) was saying.
The day dragged on because of this. (Y/N) felt like she was ready to crash the second the sun started to set. And she didn't even attempt to do a reading lesson with Ava today...that's just what kind of day it was. She didn't even want to think of how much more exhausted she'd be had she given that a try.
But now it was time for the toughest part of the day: getting Ava to bed. (Y/N) was dreading it from the second she woke her daughter up because she knew that it'd be a much more challenging task today with the mood that Ava was in.
Despite her hoping that the day would just fast forward through the hard part, bedtime came. Ava was coloring in the front sitting room (at peace for once) when (Y/N) entered from the kitchen. She almost wanted to let her be...she finally was doing what she was supposed to. But (Y/N) knew that she had to get her to go to bed.
So she approached her cautiously, wanting to smack herself for treating her three year old child like she was some wild animal. "Ava, sweetie..." she started, trying to get her daughter's attention. The girl dropped her utensil and turned around, looking at her mother with expecting eyes. (Y/N) smiled at her before she continued, "it's time for us to get ready for bed."
A sour look formed on Ava's face the second the 'b word' was mentioned. "Mumma, no," she huffed, her eyebrows scrunching together to show her anger at the situation.
(Y/N) raised her eyebrows in response to the pushback. "This is not a matter that is up for discussion, missy. It is your bedtime," she insisted, her hands falling onto her hips.
"I'm not tired!" Ava exclaimed, sticking her nose in the air and squeezing her eyes shut as she spoke. It was obvious that she wasn't going to back down without a fight.
After taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly so that she could stay composed, (Y/N) attempted another route of persuasion, "if we go to bed now, we can read two stories together." She thought that Ava might go for that suggestion because she <loved> to read stories.
But of course Ava wasn't going for any of (Y/N)'s suggestions today. "NO!" she screamed, her voice even louder now than before, "I don't wanna read stories, I wanna keep drawing!"
(Y/N) opened her mouth to speak but couldn't get a word out because the door to the house opened and shut and footsteps sounded off the hardwood shortly after.
"Arfer!" Ava exclaimed, hopping up from her spot by the coffee table to run past her mother to the archway. Usually (Y/N) would smile at her daughter's pronunciation of her partner's name, but she'd been worn down so much tonight that she couldn't muster it up.
(Y/N) turned around in time to see Arthur crouching down to give the little girl a hug. "Hey, kiddo," he greeted her, glancing up at (Y/N) to see the unhappy expression she had. He immediately knew that he couldn't go over the top in greeting the child in his arms. Things didn’t seem to be going so well. "What's goin’ on here, eh?" he asked after he ended their hug.
"I'm drawing a picture; just like you showed me how to! Come, look!" she exclaimed, a wide smile on her face as she reached up to take hold of his hand so that she could lead him over to the table she had everything set up on.
"We were getting ready to do something else, weren't we, Ava?" (Y/N) asked the child before she could get into showing Arthur her artwork.
"Mumma!" Ava exclaimed, a pout forming on her face as she slipped right back into the defiant act she was putting on before.
"Ava," (Y/N) raised her eyebrows, her voice monotone. She did not want to go back into this cycle of arguing that they'd been going in and out of all day.
Ava held the glare on her mother for a moment longer before she switched it up to a pout to show to Arthur. She was hoping that he'd be on her side in this; he always had a soft spot for her and she knew it...she often played off of it. "Can you draw with me, Arfer?" she asked him, puppy dog eyes in full display.
Arthur glanced over at (Y/N) then, silently checking if she was going to jump in and diffuse this or if he was going to be the one to mediate the situation. Her exasperated look told him everything: she needed his help. "I'd love to draw with you, kiddo, but it's your bedtime. We don't wanna go against your mum, do we?" he posed a question, crouching down to her level as he spoke.
Ava looked at Arthur for a moment before looking at her mother. (Y/N) kept her lips pursed, secretly hoping that Arthur's attempt would do the trick. She didn't think she had anymore gas left in the tank to deal with a defiant three year old.
A frown formed on the little girl's face as she realized that the situation was not going to go in her favor. She now needed to accept that it was in fact bedtime. "No, we should listen to mumma," she admitted in a defeated tone, slumping her shoulders.
"That's a good choice," Arthur agreed with what Ava said, a smile forming on his face.
"Can you read me a story, Arfer?" she asked him, a hopeful look on her face. (Y/N) was about ready to scoff at it because she was claiming that she didn't want to read stories just moments ago.
"Sure, kiddo," he nodded before continuing, "why don't you go up and let your mum get you changed and then I'll be up to read with you?" he suggested, his eyebrows raised.
"Ok!" Ava promptly agreed, a smile on her face as she bounced over to (Y/N)'s side. (Y/N) sent her a soft smile and began to walk to the steps with her. She stopped before they were able to ascend the steps, "can we read the one about the princess and the dragon?" she excitedly asked Arthur.
"Sure we can," Arthur nodded, sending a smile to (Y/N) then, who now had a relieved look on her face.
Ava made a little sound of glee before she turned and began walking up the steps with (Y/N) following close behind.
Ava was adamant that she only wanted Arthur to read the story to her, so (Y/N) happily stepped out of the little girl's bedroom once she was finished helping her get ready for bed. She decided to go downstairs and work on cleaning up the living room so that it would look orderly again. Once she was finished, she sat down on the couch and tipped her head back onto the cushion.
She heard Arthur's footsteps descending the stairs not long after she got comfy. "Long day?" he asked her, making her raise her head to see his crooked smile.
"Precisely," she answered, a tired smile forming on her face as he came over to the couch. She sat up and scooted over so that he could sit next to her. "Are you staying tonight?" she asked him once he was situated.
"You want me to?" Arthur raised his eyebrows as he looked over at her. It was her house after all, and even though they'd been together for just about two years now, he still didn't want it to seem like he was overstaying his welcome.
"Of course," she smiled at him, scooting over on the couch so that she could hug him. He responded to her embrace by squeezing the shoulder of the arm that she'd draped over his torso before turning his head to the side and kissing her temple. (Y/N) relaxed against his body, finally able to take a moment to herself without worrying about what Ava might need or be doing.
She was lucky to have Arthur in her life. They met just over two and a half years ago. (Y/N) was coming out from the church she belonged to and Arthur was finding his way in. She thought it was odd for him to be entering it, especially after the service had just ended. So she followed him back in and stuck around, watching from a few pews back as he slumped down on the bench and just stared at the altar. After letting him be for some time, she just had to go up and see if he was alright.
She was a kind-hearted person, and Arthur quickly realized that. He found it easy to convey his muddied thoughts to her, and she found it easy to see the man underneath all of the things he'd done. It wasn't a surprise to either of them when they found that they couldn't get the other off their mind. Arthur asked her to dinner after one of their conversations, and the rest was history.
Arthur loved (Y/N)'s daughter, Ava, as if she were his own daughter. She wasn't though. Her father, (Y/N)'s husband, died in a terrible accident only a few months after Ava was born. It hurt (Y/N)'s heart to know that Ava wouldn't be able to meet her father, but she was thankful that she now had Arthur in her life. They took to each other right away. (Y/N) won't ever forget the fact that one of Ava's first smiles came when she was in Arthur's arms. It's no secret that they've got a sweet spot for each other. Oftentimes, like this night, she didn't know what she'd do without him.
"I think I'm going to make myself some tea to have before bed," (Y/N) stated, breaking the silence as she finally let go of Arthur so that she could stand from the couch. "Do you want anything?" she turned to ask him.
"I'm fine, love. Thank you," Arthur responded, a smile gracing his lips as he looked up at her. She nodded before turning and walking to the kitchen area. "Was she defiant all day?" Arthur asked as she went about putting the kettle of water on the stove.
"Pretty much," (Y/N) responded, going about getting herself a cup, "everything was a challenge...she wanted nothing to do with what I was saying to her," she sighed, shaking her head. It was days like today where she felt like she was failing at the whole mother thing.
Silence fell in the room as she waited for the water to boil. It did after a short while, and she carefully poured it into her cup so that she could mix the tea in with it. "I'd probably still be fighting with her had you not come in," she commented with a slight scoff as she moved the kettle off of the stove and grabbed her cup.
She then turned and began walking back to the couch. When she looked up, she saw Arthur sitting with his arms draped over the back of the couch; looking at her with a closed-mouth smile on his face. "What?" she asked him, smiling as she felt warmth spread through her body under his gaze.
"Nothin'," he answered her, shaking his head slightly as his smile widened.
She knew better than that though. "You're thinking of something, Arthur...what is it?" she called him out, her one eyebrow raised as she stopped a few feet from the couch. She wasn't going to sit until she found out what was on his mind. It was silly, and she knew that, but she was stubborn in that sense...no wonder Ava was the way she was sometimes.
Arthur chuckled at her statement, finding her defiance rather adorable. He looked her over before his smile returned. "We make a pretty good team, don't you think?" he asked her then, tipping his head to the side slightly.
The warmth inside of her grew when she heard his question, and she couldn't stop the butterflies from doing their happy dance in her stomach. She didn't expect him to say something along these lines. But she knew the answer in an instant. "We do," she agreed with him before she walked the rest of the way to the couch he was on. She carefully sat down so as to not spill the tea she had. Once she was comfortable, she turned and smiled over at Arthur. "We definitely make a good team," she repeated her sentiment, a smile on her face as Arthur leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to her lips.
"Wouldn't wanna be on a team with anyone else, love," he grinned at her, and in that moment all of the stresses that had been built up within her over the day faded away.

#1 Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, he’s so hot...
Tumblr media
He was so shook, he couldn’t write a thank you post and instead came on Weverse live to thank everyone and receive our love over his amazing accomplishment. 
For it being 3:30 a.m. or whatever time it was for him, he looked amazing. Fresh-faced. As in glowing. This is what a #1 Billboard chart topper looks like:
Tumblr media
...with that just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. The best.
And welp, he finally had him some ramen. Abstinence from ramen can be so challenging. I mean... it’s ramen. Indulging in a big helping of ramen is one of life’s simple pleasures... forget the spicy ramen, even plain ramen is satisfying when you haven’t had ramen in months... The temptation had to be terrible especially when those extra stressful days cum come to a head ... and you need to get rid of that extra energy... you know? when you are ready to explode? ramen is the answer... so satisfying. 
And he also divulged a TMI that he had not felt good earlier because he ate too much. Bless him for that. Go easy on the ramen, Jungkook Jimin. But I have been missing jibooty... man needs to put some meat back on his bones. 
And exactly why does he have to speak so softly in his own house? Who is he gonna wake up, pray tell? Those $9 million dollar apartments are very well insulated and sound-proof. How do you think Kookie gets away with wailing away at karaoke at 4:00 a.m. in the morning? WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING JIMIN? What’s that you say??? You think Jungkookie is asleep? How would you know that? HMMMMMM????? You clapped back pretty quick to missy who said she was Jungkookie’s wife. 
You people out there who keep testing his resolve on this “Jungkook marry me/I’m Jungkook’s wife” need to step back. Jiminie ain’t playin’.

Lovey Dovey
Pirates of the Caribbean : Fic
Will Turner x Reader
Word Count: 1541
Warnings: Hilarious sibling banter... Will be a king treating his woman like a queen 👑 swashbuckling pirate swears
Request: “This is me absolutely begging and foaming at the mouth for you to write a Will Turner x reader. I’m fine with fluff or smut lmao. I have a couple ideas if you also want to write multiple (or blend them into 1), you totally don’t have to though. 3. Being Jack Sparrow’s (sister/close relationship) and dating Will - First of all,THE C H A O S Jack constantly bugging you about being all “lovey dovey” on his ship (even if it’s not a significant amount). Jack also always complaining in general lmao. I think this is cute because Jack being over protective of you dating Will just seems so precious to me. PLEASE INCLUDE SOME FORM OF SIBLING BANTER 🙏🏻. Having accurate sibling teasing or banter is so important when writing relationships like these! Plus Sharing a hammock below deck” @gingerdissapointment​
A/N: Jack has never been overjoyed at the thought of you and your boyfriend - especially when you’re kissing on his ship
Tumblr media
The skies were a rich coastal blue between the clouds. The gulls gave their cries as they flew overhead, pestering the inhabitants below for a morsel to eat. The sea was gentle as it rocked the ship.
Rocked the ship and the first mate.
(Y/N) was clearly taking her position on the ship very seriously as she lay across the edge of the starboard side. Her hat drawn to keep the sun off her face, she looked as a cat might just before a long nap.
Until the captain, laden with beads and braided scarves, came from his quarters. The black, heavy lids of his eyes fell into a squint as he spotted his first mate. She did enjoy testing his authority.
Sucking on a gold tooth, Captain Jack Sparrow sauntered over, slamming a hand onto the weathered wood beneath her. “I say, man! Hoist the sails, pull anchor, and undock this ship before I find another to replace yer useless, sleepy arse.”
She barely flinched as he bombarded her beginnings of sleep. A heavily ringed hand lifted to tilt her hat back, shooting the captain a look. It clearly spoke of how disappointing his efforts had become in motivating her.
“Go back to your Tortugan women and let me doze.”
“For your information, missy – we’re not on Tortuga anymore.”
“And you’re telling me you haven’t kept a few pretties in your cabin?”
Jack chewed the inside of his cheek, speaking lowly, “You know Gibbs will cause a mutiny if he sees any woman on this ship but you.”
“Yes, and being unable to escape your persistent stupidity, I’d thought challenging Gibbs would make smuggling barmaids all the more fun.”
Hat back over her face, (Y/N) couldn’t see the way Jack flailed his arms in a pitiful attempt to express his frustration. “If I hadn’t promised mum…”
“If you hadn’t promised mum what?” she suddenly sat up, swinging her legs so she was facing him.
His expression was dry, “If I hadn’t promised to watch over you aboard this ship – I would push you off this instant – to hell with the plank.”
“You wouldn’t dare,” she smirked.
In a flash, Jack shoved her shoulder, just enough that she was caught off balance. And the fear that flashed across her face, however short lived, made him smile. “You should be kinder to your captain.”
He went for the wheel, fishing for his compass. (Y/N) slid from her spot, stomping after him, “You really would let me fall in?”
“You can swim.”
She punched his shoulder and he winced.
“You wouldn’t last a week on the seas without me.”
It was the usual bickering between the captain and the first mate. And many of the crew had to dodge as buckets of water and empty rum bottles flew at each other. There was rarely a voice of reason between the two – Gibbs had given up after an incident with a sea turtle and a peg leg – making only one option for a mediator.
“Mr. Will Turner,” Gibbs laughed gruffly, “’Bout time you came aboard.”
Will raised his eyebrows, stepping off the boarding plank, “Are things really so severe without me here?”
A wooden chair came flying from the captain’s quarters, splintering against the wheel. A second later (Y/N) came bounding out, a small chest in her hands, and ran to hold it over the side of the ship.
Jack cried after her, flailing his arms and tripping over the broken chair along the way, “DO NOT toss that treasure overboard.”
“What does it matter? You’re a pirate – go find some more!”
“Yes, but that chest is particularly valuable to me, and I would sorely miss it’s contents. So kindly return it before I tie you to the mast and let the seagulls shit down your pretty face.”
Will coughed obnoxiously and both siblings turned to face him. “What’s so important about the chest?”
(Y/N) grinned, “Will!” She let go of the treasure chest and ran for him. Jack yelled as he dove for the chest, catching it just before it fell over the edge.
“Why must you pester your brother?” Will asked, hugging her tight and kissing her cheek, “I would rather he be reasonable when I visit – he’s not overly fond of me.”
She grabbed his face and gave him a proper kiss, “I don’t care what my brother thinks.” She kissed him hard, losing balance.
A retching could be heard from behind them, “I’d sooner battle the kraken than watch you two swabbing tongues.” Jack sauntered back to his cabin, “We’re leaving in an hour.”
“He’s just jealous the longest he’s ever had a partner was overnight.”
Will snickered, taking her hand, “Best leave him be. I want you all to myself tonight.”
Jack poked his head out of the door, “And if I catch any lovey dovey nonsense on my ship, you can walk the plank and get your quota of kisses from the sharks!”
(Y/N) bit her lip, dragging Will by the hand and below deck.
“Did you hear me?” Jack cried almost desperately, “You keep that hand a safe distance from her!”
“I don’t care how much you fight,” Will said as they descended the stairs, “Jack loves you.”
“He’s protective, is all,” (Y/N) sighed, “I wish he showed he cared in other ways. Like letting me have first pick in a treasure hoard.”
They laughed and kissed all the way to the hammocks used for sleeping while sailing the seas. (Y/N) pushed him into one and jumped on top of him. The hammock swung from the jump, their tangled limbs fitting snug into a cocoon. (Y/N) wrapped herself around him, feeling safe and warm and vulnerable next to him.
“I want to tell you something,” Will whispered to her, running his fingers lightly down her arm.
She squirmed at the tickling, “What is it?”
“I’ve been meeting with the Port Royal banks, building a line of credit with them.”
(Y/N) became very still, her thumb trailing down his ribs, “Why do that? You already own the smithery.”
“I sold it.”
She sat up, hand against his chest, “Why do that? You’re an excellent blacksmith.”
His eyes were shining in the dim light, “I’m buying you a ship. A ship for us.”
“What?” There was a smile on her lips like she didn’t believe him, “A real ship?”
“I’m doing it the right way,” he mumbled, “It takes longer, but… We’ll have a home on the sea.”
She giggled, “A real ship? With a crew?”
“If you want.”
“And you’ll be the captain and I’ll be the first mate,” she grinned, running a hand up his neck to hold his cheek.
Will smiled fondly, “You will be captain. And I’ll be your first mate.”
(Y/N) marveled at him, getting quiet when she said, “I love you.”
“I love you too.” And he tilted his head to catch her lips, gripping her tight by the waist.
She kept ahold of his cheek, giggling as he tickled her sides. They were too preoccupied to hear a set of footsteps tromping down the stairs.
“Oh, God! Damned Davy Jones. What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
(Y/N) fell into Will’s shoulder, sighing, “What does it look like we’re doing?”
“Not on my ship, missy. Not. On. My. Ship.”
“Oh, sod off,” (Y/N) yelled, “Grab your rum and go.”
“I’m going to be honest with you, mate,” Jack pointed a wavering finger, “If you don’t get your sticky paws off my sister, I’m going to chain you to a cannonball and throw you overboard for the kraken to eat.”
(Y/N) toppled out of the hammock, “Jack you’re taking it a little far. Will’s been nothing but good to me since we’ve known him. I don’t understand this vendetta you have against him.”
“He’s… well, there’s something about him.” Jack twiddled his fingers, “And I promised – I swore to mum that I’d…” He suddenly became quiet, “That I’d look after you.”
Her heart softened, “And you’ve done a pretty damn good job so far.” She knew he needed to hear it, “And I’m not asking you to stop looking after me. I’m asking that you let someone else help. Someone good and kind. And a partner for me – I’m sorry captain, but that’s not something you can give me.” She tried at a smile.
And Jack did have the slightest crack of his lips, “You were always going to outgrow me.”
Will came up behind (Y/N) and placed an arm around her shoulders. Surprisingly Jack didn’t retort, “You’re not the only one that cares about her.”
“I’m still not a fan of the lovey dovey nonsense.”
“That’s fine,” (Y/N) laughed, “We’re gonna do it anyway.”
Jack laughed too, taking a step back and making for the stairs. He snatched a bottle of rum from the stores as he said, “Put a sock on the cabin door next time. I already have enough trauma without seeing whatever you two do alone.”
And that was about as close as Jack was going to get in saying he accepted his sister dating. Will gripped her side and whispered jovially in her ear.
“You want to get all lovey dovey?”
“Let me grab a sock first.”

congrats on 100 followers missy!!
for the 100 word drabble challenge — can you write a funny groose and link interaction? 🤣
Ty @hyylia. This was a fun one. Hope you like it!
“Hey, runt, what’s this?” Groose cuffs the back of Link’s head and snags a folded note off his desk.
“Morning to you, too, Groose.” Link sighs.
Groose’s brow furrows. “I didn’t say hello, moron.”
“Can’t pull anything over on you, Instructor Groose.” Link rolls his eyes when Groose preens at the supposed compliment. “Can I have my note back?”
Grinning slyly, Groose unfolds the paper. “Hopefully, Zelda has finally come to her senses and decided to choose a real…” He trails off, sputtering incoherently.
Link smirks. He already knows what the letter from Zelda says. “Remlit got your tongue, Groose?”

doing a little rant about the doctor and gender. i gather this discourse is getting stale but im gonna give my two cents anyway.
anyone who’s read my opinions on the ch*bnall era will know i really didn’t like how the doctor’s gender was represented during this era and unfortunately that seems to has passed on to the rtd2 era. not that the topic of gender in doctor who is new, i would say the topic of specifically time lords and gender became more prominent with our favourite misogynist st*ven m*ffat when he introduced missy, explicitly claiming that she could never call herself the master while being in a woman’s body. thanks m*ffat!
i think it’s safe to assume that time lords shouldn’t care about gender. at least not in the way humans do. they’re aliens, they wouldn’t follow human societal gender constructs. that would seem like a simple conclusion but apparently not to the white boomer men writing the show. even within the show the doctor has stated that time lords don’t ‘obsess’ over gender as written by said m*ffat (before of course immediately contradicting this just one episode later, showing time lord do actually obsess over gender to the point where it’s literally ever other line of their dialogue).
okay back to the point. as within the ch*bnall and now the rtd2 era the doctor’s gender is ascribed upon by others. no where in these eras does the doctor ever proclaim their own gender, it is simply assumed by other characters and then never questioned or challenged, much to my frustration. and sure perhaps the doctor doesn’t care what human gender humans assign to them but for me this greatly robs their character of agency. even from a genderfluid or agender perspective, if the doctor just says this out loud then that would be enough for me to be satisfied that the doctor gets a say in it.
secondly the doctor’s gender is still just being used as a joke. the doctor’s gender (and ability to change bodies) isn’t treated seriously and more just a funny little quirk the audience can point and laugh at, being presented as ‘lol i was a man/ woman 5 minutes ago isn’t that so funny’. not only is this such a cisgender/fixed binary way of viewing gender it’s also really insulting to actual genderfluid people who do change their gender. their gender and the ability to fluctuate gender isn’t a joke, it’s a person’s identity and should be treated with respect.
in the star beast, gender comes up in the resolution of the episode where it has no place to be. it’s makes no sense to add gender to the equation as it provides no further explanation of the resolution. and the line about the ‘male presenting time lord’ is completely baffling in every single way. rtd has clearly shown he understands the existence of the spectrum of gender and non binary gender yet with this single line contradicts this by resorting back to gender stereotypes and essentialism stating ‘a man could never understand emotional intelligence of letting something go ’. in an attempt to make GirlBoss™️ moment, rtd has just created average sexism. truly two steps forward then one step back. and to further bring this back round, again timelords would not care about gender and are unlikely to perform gender sterotypes this way so why bring it up at all. the doctor’s emotional vulnerability whilst present as a flaw in their character, is in all incarnations regardless of the gender of the actor playing the doctor. to suggest that the 13th doctor would be immune to this flaw is again sexist and also a fundamental misunderstanding of the character, with 13 has been one of the most emotional constipated and closed off incarnations. it honestly makes me question whether rtd has even seen the 13th doctor’s era at all.
unfortunately i think my desire for gender to be discussed and explored within the show seriously is not gonna happen any time soon, and honestly to prevent further frustrations i would rather the topic is not raised at all, if it is gonna be treated so carelessly and flippantly.

Hiya, I have a headcannon request for you. If your requests are not open please ignore this.
May I please request headcannons for the different master's. Scenario: The reader doesn't believe that Hypnosis is real and so they challenge the master to prove them wrong.
The headcannons being
Do they try and talk you out of it
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you.
What they would use to hypnotise you.
Do they try and talk you out of it one more time
Are you able to attempt to resist?
What do they do once your hypnotised
Do they allow you to remember the challenge
Are triggers implanted in your mind (if so what are they and what do they do.)
If you are allowed to remember, how do you react to losing?
If your requests are closed or you're not comfortable then I understand, have a great day/night.
Delgado!Master:
Do they try and talk you out of it: He only makes a half hearted attempt to convince you to change your mind. He would much rather hypnotize you to prove you wrong.
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you: Right there and then. No need to delay
What they would use to hypnotise you: Just his voice and eyes alone
Do they try and talk you out of it one more time: No, you have made your choice.
Are you able to attempt to resist: You make a small attempt but it doesn't last long.
What do they do once your hypnotised: Nothing too harsh. Perhaps write some lines down such as "I will obey the Master" as proof that you were hypnotized.
Do they allow you to remember the challenge: Oh, yes. There is no point in making you forget it!
Are triggers implanted in your mind: No, while tempting he doesn't this time
If you are allowed to remember, how do you react to losing: You are certainly embarrassed but gracefully admit defeat.
Ainley!Master:
Do they try and talk you out of it: No, he doesn't try to talk you out of it
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you: Waits until you are least prepared and suspecting to prove you wrong
What they would use to hypnotise you: He tries all sorts of things subtlety- jewelry, his voice, pocket watches, anything he can
Do they try and talk you out of it one more time: No.
Are you able to attempt to resist: You are able to resist some of his more outlandish attempts- such as the pocket watch.
What do they do once your hypnotised: Once you are hypnotized he has you follow him around like an imprinted duckling.
Do they allow you to remember the challenge: It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't!
Are triggers implanted in your mind: Only a few to fluster you.
if so what are they and what do they do: He has one that when he tells you to kneel you do which embarrasses you to no end
If you are allowed to remember, how do you react to losing: Lots of pouting at him for "taking advantage" of you
Simm!Master:
Do they try and talk you out of it: He makes an attempt to convince you not to challenge him, but not a very strong one.
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you: In public, in private, it doesn't matter to him
What they would use to hypnotise you: The archangel network
Do they try and talk you out of it one more time: He does but just so that you don't suspect what he is doing
Are you able to attempt to resist: You don't even realize it occurred
What do they do once your hypnotised: He holds you close as he whispers his commands
Do they allow you to remember the challenge: No, if you remmeber you won't be as open to letting yourself get hypnotized again
Are triggers implanted in your mind: Oh yes.
if so what are they and what do they do: Some are to keep you safe, the others to make sure that you don't betray him to the Doctor
Missy:
Do they try and talk you out of it: Yes, as she can't be bothered to hypnotize you
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you: When she finally gives in she makes sure that the two of you are in private
What they would use to hypnotise you: Her voice and her hands on your skin start your drop, once you are susceptible she snaps her fingers and your mind is her's
Do they try and talk you out of it one more time: Several times before she gets frustrated and gives in
Are you able to attempt to resist: You resist several times what you think is her trying, and the real attempt you don't stand a chance against.
What do they do once your hypnotised: To make sure that you never question her again she makes you crawl after her for ages
Do they allow you to remember the challenge: Yes, to teach you a lesson
Are triggers implanted in your mind: No, thought she is tempted to make you listen better with one
If you are allowed to remember, how do you react to losing: You apologize for pestering her.
Dhawan!Master:
Do they try and talk you out of it: No, not really. Just asks if you are sure you want to play that game with him
Where they plan to 'try' and hypnotise you: In his cozy version of his TARDIS console room on the couch
What they would use to hypnotise you: His voice is all he needs.
Are you able to attempt to resist: You prepare yourself to resist and fail spectacularly.
What do they do once your hypnotised: Lots of sitting pretty while he lectures you on how you really need to stop doubting him and his power. Makes you give him lots of little kisses in such a submissive, subservient way.
Do they allow you to remember the challenge: Yes, in enough clarity that it almost seems as if you were not under any influence at all if it weren't for your actions.
Are triggers implanted in your mind: No
If you are allowed to remember, how do you react to losing: You laugh it off and endure all of his teasing.

Request: Bill S. Preston x Gender neutral!reader
Prompt: Reader is sitting in on a Wyld Stallyns practice while doing homework as an excuse to watch their boyfriend Bill perform. Everything is alright until they get a sensory overload from their difficult homework and the loud music.
Bill picks up on this and lends them his (oversized for y/n) plaid shirt because his scent grounds them (and maybe holds their hands while sitting in front of them, doing the 54321 method).
Basically Bill just being the most supportive boyfriend ever.
Summary: You and Bill are spending some quality time together, with you doing homework, and him practicing his guitar!
Warnings: Details of sensory overload
Words: 1.1K
Notes:  Honestly living for these oneshots rn I can't lie Decided to make it just you and Bill together, so more of the focus is on him, rather than him AND Ted! Hope this is okay! <3 My requests are currently open! My pinned post (found here) contains both a list of characters I write for, and a masterlist!  Original character list - please request for these too!
Tumblr media
Not my gif
The best time of the day was always the time when you got to go round Bill's house. There was no question about it. The place was a safe haven for you- Missy thought the world of you and Bill's dad liked you, when he was home from work and you were out of your boyfriend's room or the garage. It was a ritual for the pair of you, you'd finish school together, walk Ted home to his house just a street or so over from Bill's, then head back to the Preston house together for the evening. Sometimes Bill would ask you if you ever wanted to go to your house instead - you'd simply shake your head and keep on walking to his, not even missing a beat. It wasn't something that needed to be considered. Being around Bill, in a place that he spent so much time in himself, was just... Your idea of heaven.
So there you both were, Bill sitting cross legged on the old battered couch, and you on the floor across from him, Maths textbook on the table and workbook in your lap as you tried over and over again to solve a particularly difficult quadratic equation. Maths was an okay subject for you, but as you had moved on to the higher levels of the subject, the flow of your answers had staggered more and more; it was a welcome challenge, but naturally more frustrating at times. Bill's guitar lay in his lap, as he lazily plucked the strings from time to time, attempting to tune it. He'd been tuning it for the past hour or so - he wasn't fussed on it being done particularly quickly, and him taking his time meant that it'd be done with greater accuracy. It also meant that he wasn't disturbing you too much, which was something he was vaguely conscious of, in the back of his mind.
After a while longer of him tuning his guitar, Bill is almost certain he's got it right. There's only one real way to test it. Without warning, Bill started an epic little riff, not thinking about the noise he was making as his fingers danced across the strings and neck of the guitar, until one wrong pluck threw him from his little daydream induced riff. He looked over to you, hoping to get some feedback of his playing before he had thrown himself off of his groove, but you weren't looking back at him. You had curled in on yourself, hands clamp over your ears in a vain attempt to block some of the noise from your ears. Within a second, Bill had practically thrown his guitar away from him, and was kneeling down beside you. "Hey, hey..." He tried to get your attention, but you just frantically shook your head at him - you didn't want any more noise, you couldn't take anymore. Bill hastily untied the plaid shirt he had tied round his waist, and draped it round your shoulders. It was too warm for him to actually wear it properly, but he knew that when you were upset, in any way, that you loved wearing it, that it helped you. You move your hands to grab at the fabric, pulling it tighter over your shoulders, and bringing a fistful of it to your face as you normally did. As strange as it may seem to some, the scent of your boyfriend helped you immensely. It allowed you to pull yourself, piece by piece, breath by breath, out of the downward spiral the sudden noise had put you in. Bill stayed in front of you, resting his hands gently on your shoulders, ready to move at a moments notice should it become too much for you. He breathes audibly, slow and deep, making sure that you can hear him, and try to mimic him. You try to, though at first, there's a stray breath or two every so often, your diaphragm jerking in response to the sudden switch back to normal breathing. A few more minutes pass, before Bill tries to speak to you again. "You okay?" His voice is soft, and as gentle as his touch. He didn't mean to upset you - then again he never did, and typically went out of his way to ensure that you were never upset as much as he could. "I'm... I'm sorry about that, I didn't think..." He explained; he knew it wasn't an excuse, but he just wanted you to know. You nod slowly; it wasn't the first time that Bill had acted impulsively like that. It happened a lot - though typically it was something more like he'd throw something up in the air, or sometimes slam a book. You'd come to accept it as part of him; however his father thought differently, though he never commented as such. Usually it was worse if you were around Ted, too. The pair bounced off of one another like nobody's business; if one started something off, the other was sure to follow in his wake.
"You feeling a little better now?" Bill asks, finally sitting down properly in front of you, rather than just crouching. You nod again. "Uh, yeah... Just, the noise, mixed with the homework, it just... It got too much..." You gesture vaguely at your two books as you speak, and Bill nods gently in reply. "I'm sorry..." He pauses briefly, "You want some help with that?" He offers, and you chuckle lightly, "What?" He asks, almost incredulously, "I mean, two minds are better-" "I know, Bill..." You cut him off, "But we're both... y'know, not always great at math..." You shrug, "So I doubt both of us working on it would help...." "Huh..." Bill sits in thought for a moment, before nodding in acceptance of your explanation. Sometimes it was difficult for him to understand maths too - so his offer had mostly been out of him wanting to alleviate you some stress, because he never liked seeing you upset or stressed. "What if... We got ice cream instead?" He suggested, "We've got a ton in the freezer... We're never going to get through it all - Missy only has one every so often, and dad never has any..." He told you, and you nodded. "Yeah, actually... that sounds really nice... I'll try finish this equation, then I'll join you..." You lean forward, pressing a light kiss to his cheek. His face splits into a wide, goofy smile. "Get me a good one, yeah?" You call after him, as he hurriedly scrambles to his feet, and dashes off to get to the freezer. "I will!" He yells back - and you know that he'll stick to his word, he always did. He was, without a doubt, the best boyfriend you could ask for.
