1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!
2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr
3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!
overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!
#aritalks#i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use#not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before#and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk#but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day!#the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow#also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years#(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years#and then had that moment of ‘oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk)#was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!!#i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight#so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday#my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work#my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all#over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins)#but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered#(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting#when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so#just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my#mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19)#so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her#and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too#i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure#out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still#dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not#the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one#if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it#but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help#and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks#just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️

Hii🥺 so I was wondering since its gonna be oscars birthday on the weekend how about his first birthday as a dad and his partner surprise him even with flying his parents out there🥺
Love your works, have a lovely weekend❤️
Note: thank you! I hope you have a lovely weekend too (the rest of it anyway)! 🫶
"So you'll head straight to the hotel?", you asked Nicole over the phone, "this little guy is getting fussy like he was yesterday, so I can tell Oscar we'll meet him back at the hotel and he won't find it too suspicious", you reasoned.
"Thank you again for arranging all of this", your mother in-law thanked you, "I'll let you know when they pick us up".
Oscar's birthday coincided with the race weekend, and since it was the first one after Lucas was born, you thought it would be nice to have everyone together in the same place to celebrate your husband's birthday.
"Are you packing up?", Oscar said as he saw you pack Lucas' toys in the diaper bag, "yes, he's really fussy so I think we have to skip qualifying today", you kissed his cheek as he helped you, "you need a quiet nap, little one? You do, don't you?", he asked Lucas, bouncing him on his hip before he let you take him from his arms and into your sling, wrapping him safely against your body, "you and mummy enjoy yourselves and then I'll join you, okay?", he kissed the top of his head before kissing your lips, "stay safe, I love you", he smiled.
"Stay safe as well, okay? We love you and we'll see you at the hotel", you kissed his lips again, lifting Lucas' arm so he could wave at his father.
Arriving at the hotel just as Chris sent you a text saying they were on their way to the hotel, making you go up to the room and settle all your things, change Lucas' diaper and putting him back on the sling so you could go downstairs when they arrived.
"Grandma and grandpa are downstairs, my love, let's go meet them!", you spoke, grabbing the room card and heading to meet your in-laws.
"Look at the little one, he's gotten so big!", Chris was the first to speak as you stepped closer them as the man at the reception desk finished the details so he could hand them the card for their room.
"He looks so much like Oscar, but the lips are all you, Y/N", Nicole said, kissing your cheek, "how are you, dear?".
"I'm good, did you guys have a good flight?", you said as you stepped into the elevator, rubbing Lucas' back over the sling as he was fighting sleep, "He's been wide awake just taking in everything around him, but around this time yesterday, he started fussing so it actually works best to be here anyway - I can't wait for Oscar to see you guys!", you beamed.
Oscar arrived at the hotel and bid goodbye to the rest of the team before swiping the card on the door, ready for some cuddles with you and your little boy when he heard a laugh way too similar to his mother's, "hey, I'm back", he announced.
Chris got the small cake you got with the two candles, singing happy birthday as Oscar hugged his parents after gasping in surprise, "Happy Birthday to you!", Chris sang before Oscar blowing the candles, "what are you doing here?", he mused.
"Y/N flew us over so we could spend your birthday together", Nicole offered, kissing his cheek.
"Look who's up", Oscar cooed as Lucas looked up at him, stretching his arms so his father could pick him up, "hey, buddy, we're having a little party of our own, aren't we?", he gushed.
Nicole offered to put Lucas to sleep while Chris unpacked their stuff in their room so you and Oscar could go to the hotel restaurant and enjoy a meal together without the baby, "thank you for doing this, love", he kissed your knuckles.
(Thank you for sending this in ✨️)

The One That Almost Stayed
A Quinn and Darlin fic that is based on the song, The One That Got Away, by the civil wars. It is set before Darlin meets Sam.
Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6,
Part 7, Part 8, Part 9
TW: Cussing, Quinn, Hostility, Blood, Grooming. This fic discusses serious issues Tank probably went through. Please viewer discretion is advised.
Tank woke up, not to their alarm, but to banging on their door. It was only then that they realized they had still been dressed in their clothes from the night before. They rolled out of their bed, feet making contact with the icee hardwood floor. The scampered out of the room to follow the sound of the banging. Peering through the looking glass. Standing on the other side of the tall wooden frame is Gabe, David, and Ash. ‘God what did I do this time?’ Tank thought to themself before opening the door. Gabe, Ash, and David marched right in making themselves at home. Tank shut the door and latched it, returning it to how it was the night before.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Asher yelled encompassing Tank in a hug. “You smell weird…” he said suspiciously.
“Wow thanks Ash.” Tank said separating from the hug. “I just forgot to change… let me do that real quick.” They said walking back to their room.
“We’ll have a birthday breakfast ready for you when you’re finished.” Gabe said walking over to their kitchen.
Tank walked back to their room getting dressed. They walked over to their phone grabbing it off their dresser seeing one missed message.
Q: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRETTY, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU TOMORROW.
T: THANKS QUINN, ILL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
After they sent the text they pocketed their phone and headed back over to the kitchen to the smell of good food. They all greeted Tanker and began playing their food, eating together.
“So Kiddo, you got a boyfriend?” He asked eyeing their reaction. They almost choked on their eggs, coughing and hitting their chest. They shot a glare over to Asher and David who were conveniently looking away from them.
“No I don’t. I’m too busy to have a boyfriend.” They said, looking away from Gabe to check their watch. They had work at 1:30 today.
“Want a ride to work? Once we’re finished here?” Gabe asked.
“I can walk it’s fine.” They said plainly.
“I’ll walk you if you want!” Asher offered.
“It’s fine really, I’ll walk.”
“Don’t you have a license?” David asked them knowing full and well his dad helped teach them how to drive.
“Yes. Im saving up for a bike.” They stabbed at their food.
“Oh? Do you have your eye on a specific one kiddo?”
“Yeah the one in the lot by Marie’s house… it’s only 8,000 and I’ve already saved up 7,500 from birthdays and well work…” they replied.
“Oh that’s a beauty, it’s kinda old being a 1999 model but, it’s all black, could probably use some work.” Gabe added.
“Yeah, that’s why I am taking auto body this year. I’ll probably see if D.A.M.N has a class on it.” At this Gabe piped up.
“Well I could always help! I fixed up one of my own a few years ago, I wouldn’t mind helping.”
“Really?” They perked up.
“David helped me, so did Ash and Milo, I’m sure they could help, that is if they retained anything.” He nudged David with his shoulder and David rolled his eyes.
“Ok then. Once I get it and stuff… I’ll let you know…” The conversation varied from different subjects and continued as they cleaned up. When it was finally time for them to go to work they all left Tanks house together, before Tank could veer off on their own Gabe led them to his truck, driving them to work. He passed the lot by Marie’s house and couldn’t help but notice the spark in Tankers eyes when they saw the bike.
“Alright have a good day at work Kiddo.” Gabe waved them goodbye.
“Thanks Gabe! Be safe…” they walked into the mechanic shop. They had been shadowing him for a while. They primarily worked in things that were to hard for him to do as he was pretty old. When they finished their shift they began to walk across the street to the mall where they worked part time at the mall as a janitor. They checked in on time before beginning to clean some of the pop up shops.
“Well if it isn’t the one and only Tanker.” A familiar voice rang out, “Cleaning up after everyone else. So different from what you do with the pack, isn’t it.” Cristian walked over to them and chuckled.
“Leave me alone Cristian.” They tried to walk around him but he grabbed the broom in their hand.
“You got me barred from pack activities for a month.” He said pushing them slightly.
“No. You got yourself barred. Leave me out of it.” They pushed him back.
“You don’t belong in the pack. Your parents left why can’t you just take the hint!” He pushed the broom back which caused them to stumbled backwards tripping over themself and falling backwards but never hitting the ground. They fell into a hard chest. It was familiar. It was Quinn. They looked up at him shock spread across their features. He smiled down at them before glaring at Cristian.
“Hello, are you a friend of theirs?” Quinn asked a deadly smile on his face.
“No, not exactly.” Cristian replied carefully and Quinn’s grasp on them tightened.
“Then why don’t you get, the hell, away from them.” He glared at Cristian showing his teeth. Cristian ran off and Quinn turned Tank to face him. “You ok?”
“Yeah I’m fine” they shrugged him off. “And thank you, but I can handle myself. I’m not exactly weak.” He laughed at this.
“I know I saw you argue with David Shaw. That takes some guts… So how long do you work til? I can take you home if you want.”
“No I’m fine. I can take care of myself.”
“I know you can. But maybe I just want to accompany a pretty thing like you home.” A smile etched its way onto his face.
“I get off at 8:40…” they said walking away and continuing their tasks.
8:40 came around quickly as they walked outside, the cold air hitting their face.
“Ready to walk home?” They said looking over their shoulder meeting his eyes.
“How’d you know I was here?” He met them at their side.
“I have very good instincts. And I uh,” they looked him up and down, “I always have a reason to use them.”
They began to walk together switching from topic to topic. Until the mood felt a little more somber. Quinn decided to bring up the topic of the argument again.
“Is your pack always like that?” He asked staring at them.
“No…. Usually it’s just Cristian… I mean Gabe and David are pretty nice, so are Ash and Milo, they just don’t- I’m not always included. Which isn’t their bad it’s my-“
“It’s not your fault.” Quinn said firmly. “They can be nice and still be dicks. Hey, tomorrow, would u like to meet my group of friends. They’re kinda like my clan, or pack, I guess. But they’re the closest people I have. If you wanna meet them they can be there for you too. I think you could use something like that.”
They turned the familiar corner to Tankers house, the path only lit up by the stars and the dim street lamps. It was almost too dark for Tank to notice anything, the key word being almost. Just outside of their apartment building they saw a familiar tall frame quickly walking towards them. It was David Shaw, and he was rapidly approaching so they quickly turned to Quinn.
“Ok, you gotta go. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye” they pushed him in the opposite direction but before he left fully he kissed their cheek and winked at them before running off.
“Tank!” David said finally arriving at their side.
“David? What’s going on?” Tank replied trying to ignore the chill that they were feeling from just wearing a tank top.
“Are you ok? You’re back home later than usual?” He asked them, concern lacing his tone.
“Yeah I’m fine…” they responded too quickly, “I just got distracted. So what brings you here?”
“Well Ash said he saw Cristian and you fighting at the mall. He said that he saw Cristian being aggressive with you so, I just came to make sure you’re ok.” He said walking them to their apartment.
“I’m fine David. I would have shifted and kicked his ass but I figured Gabe wouldn’t want to have to deal with the covert cops chasing him down.” They waved him off.
“I’m sorry he came around like that… is there anything I can do for you…. Cuz we’re… we are pack, we are family and we care for you so…” he shuffled awkwardly in-front of their door.
“God you’re such a big brother David. I’m fine. I’ll kick his ass next time. See you later.

So.
So...
Either my dad finally really read the last thing I sent along, or he and mom are pissy because I'm only cutting off contact with the pair of them, and not my little sister. Regardless I finally have lost access to the old email address(es) as well as the family spotify subscription and I'm going to go ahead and assume the netflix access is gone as well. It only took him...2.5 weeks. Huh. Consistent.
Other than the consistent timing between when I state a boundary and when they test the boundary, the timing is....conspicuously suspicious.
You see, today is my little sister's birthday. And I sent her a happy birthday message. I have not sent any relevant messages to other family members yet this year, except for her and our cousin who shares the birthday, because i'm consistently bad at remembering birthdays except for like. a few. I'm doing steps to remember better but I'm just bad at it. I accidentally missed my aunt's birthday, but i deliberately skipped my mom's, and I wasn't going to do anything for dad's. I also hadn't done an iota for mother *or* father's day.
So maybe it was a little petty and strategic on my part to wish my sister Happy Birthday - but I sent it via normal text message. I had no reason to believe it would get back to my parents that I'd done it. And I doubt she realized that letting them know I was still in contact with *her* would piss them off enough to start the chain of removing me from the group family stuff. Like the email server.
The last time the two of them "checked" my boundary to make sure it was solid, I'd just unfriended them both on Facebook - not even blocking yet, just unfriending, and then all of the sudden messages from them very shortly thereafter. About 6 hours, actually.
Which is about how long it was between my sister acknowledging my message to her and when I started seeing my access getting removed from stuff.
Their patterns of behavior are unbelievably consistent, and frankly i'd be impressed if it wasn't always to my detriment.
Idk, I'm...hurt? I'm hurt. I mean I expected this to happen, which is why I spent a whole day going through all of my emails and accounts to double check what was assigned to which email address and changing it all as best I could. There were a couple things I couldn't figure out how to swap but like. At this point, there are other ways to get into contact with me, and frankly I just...can't care? not about that anyway.
It's more like...if this is what you were going to do, why didn't you do it right after I told you to fuck off? Why wait around? it's been posited that they likely thought they were holding some sort of power over me by being able to remove my access to those things but like...i already had alternatives? I already planned for this. I am 30 years old, and have access to all my own shit now (or access to other peoples' shit that they're willing to share with me), i don't actually like...need their help with those things?
Besides the fact that if I needed Help I would wait until the very last possible minute to ask for that help, because no one fucking helped me when i would ask before.
I don't know. I forgot I was doing this and stepped away and also started working on my resume so i can pay the like. 2 bills i have and get gas and maybe be able to buy myself nice things? idk.
i'm mad. i'm sad. i'm smad. i'm done. idk.

Fifty Eight.
Tumblr media
How sneaky are my parents, I didn’t even know they came here and put balloons in my house, I think Imani gave them the codes because they have done my downstairs up all cute for my birthday “mom and dad have been in the house” I laughed saying it to Tianna “oh they have been, the told me. It’s funny because they said text Rylee and ask her something, this is why I text you that and you called me now so I said she hasn’t replied you can go; they are cute when they want to be” I chuckled “they are, Aziel be careful. One step at a time, this boy doesn’t want me to help but is trying to rush down the steps, making me nervous” opening the baby gate “oh your stairs in that house is the most dangerous” turning to him “I know, the baby gate doesn’t really work either because he climbs over it but I still like to do it because I fear he will hurt himself” he finally made it down “do not pop my balloons” he screamed out and ran to my balloons “bless him, well I just wanted to say have the best day and I wish I was there for your day, I am sure mom and dad will be spoiling you” squinting my eyes “you know what they are doing don’t you?” I said “nope, no comment” I chuckled “oh my buzzer has gone off, well speak soon and I will let you know what mom and dad are up too” watching Aziel, he is grabbing my gifts, cheeky boy “you too sister” disconnecting the call “I am watching you” I pointed and walked off, I wonder who it is, maybe more gifts I don’t know really but there is a lot of gifts laying around here, only my parents would do this for me, they are cute. Oh it’s a delivery, dragging open the door “Rylee Fenty” the guy said with flowers “that is me” I said smiling “for you, and happy birthday angel eyes” my face softened “thank you” taking the flowers from him and kicking the door shut, I was quick to grab the card, there is only one person that called me that. Placing the flowers on the side, opening the card and turning it around ‘Happy Birthday Lee, I owe you a gift, soon! O’ oh he sent me flowers, that was nice of him, he even was the first to say happy birthday to me, I don’t know how he worked that out in Thailand. The buzzer went off again, placing the card down. Looking at the camera, I gasped “no way, they are here” I rushed to the door, opening it and we just screamed as they ran into me.
My parents are the sweetest, they sent Debbie to me to cook “these baby gates are going to kill me” Diji said “yeah be careful with that, see I told you all. Stay here, so I am glad you all listened, but you came here for me, like you about to make me cry” Colin laughed “nah don’t, but I am pissed off with Lillian, she saved a little bit of money because of a stop over, and for what!? We would have been here yesterday” I sniggered “are you still bitching about that?” Lillian caught him “yeah I am, but I am here and when the driver was bringing us up, we came closer and closer to the house, I was like oh nah. This can’t be the house; your home is sick!” I laughed out “I know, it’s cute. Three bedrooms, it’s technically what me and him bought together, luckily Aziel sleeps with me so he doesn’t use the room so I have beds in there, you all luckily or you would be sleeping in a baby bed” I pointed out “I would sleep on your sofa, look at these, luxury!” Diji touched my couch “that can happen too, but this is luxury you should see my parents home, that is wild. I will take you all there after today” I added “mhmmm O” Halle said looking at me, pressing my lips into a hard thin line “it just arrived now, nosey bitch. I was reading it and then you all came so I just left it there. Yeah, it came now” Diji smiled “mr Oakley making moves, when you text the group chat saying we was slow, we been stuck in the air but who was first? Your mom?” shaking my head “him” I laughed “no way, guy is making movements” he laughed “Rylee” looking at Debbie “come on, she has made food for us, I mean it wasn’t for us all” Halle is holding Aziel “I heard your belly rumbling we finna eat now” Halle said to him, Aziel is so close to them.
I know my friends are mind blown “to think you live here and you come back to London?” Colin said in disbelief “I mean yeah” I shrugged “it’s pretty, you know what I think. As much as London is what it is, the people there are more real and up front and also here it looks pretty but all these motherfuckers are depressed and are on drugs, there is so much drugs in the system with these rich people, they are weird like I see it’s nice here but I really don’t want to raise him here, I don’t want him to grow up thinking he has to be in that group of friends, that he has to go through this, that he has to do these things. I get that London has it’s issues but it’s not what it all seems” I ranted there “you don’t like it here now do you” looking at my message my dad sent “I don’t, I have certain friends that a snakey here and I see it but because we grew up together, we have loyalties” Halle let out an oh “my dad said classy party for my eldest, I guess we have a party or classy party” I chuckled “I am about to sleep good tonight, jet lag is hitting me already” I chuckled “have a nap, honestly. I think you all should after this because it may be a long night” they really going to hate it “you right, I think we should all have a nap, because I am so tired” Lillian complained “do it, we have enough time for you all to fit in seven hours at least” I am so glad they came “like you all really made my birthday, like I know you wasn’t going to come and you all have work but you made it here for me, thank you” I thanked them “LA is peak, man I know it’s wild out there” I chuckled “and of course we came here for you, and only you but we only can be here for a week because I only got a week holiday left” Diji laughed out “but we turn up!” he spat.
My friends went for a nap, they need it “awww you give mommy her gift” I said to Aziel “yes mommy” he is so cute “thank you, you want me to open this first baby?” he sat on my lap, we are sat on the floor but it’s nice they left gifts here “oh, you got this for mommy?” I said to him, he looked me “you got this?” I asked “me” he mumbled, he is so confused “well it says to mom from Aziel, ok let’s open it” he knew this was his clearly, opening up the box “you know I like jewellery don’t you” seeing the pandora box, opening the box and seeing the charm bracelet “Aziel” looking at the charms “thank for being my mom” I read one of them, another charm saying mother and son, and another photo charm of me and Aziel “awww, thank you baby. I love it” wrapping my arms around him, pressing a kiss to his cheek “thank you” that is cute, closing the box “I want it” passing him the box, this is the sweetest thing, this makes me happy and overjoyed “ok, let’s see this” reaching over and grabbing another wrapped gift “I knew this was going to be mom, it’s going to be a dress, I know it” I am glad mom chose it because she got taste “maybe we need to always be in LA to do birthday Aziel, we are spoilt” I laughed, I am not even joking with how much my parents are doing for me being here for our birthdays, I appreciate it a lot.
My mother always knows what I like dress wise “MOTHER!” Lillian shouted as she saw me in the body on dress “thank you” I chuckled “I just seen your post and you look amazing” I grinned “thank you, you seen my body and my ass though, like having a baby gave me the perfect ass, proud of me” Lillian chuckled “you in the dress is beautiful, we need to take the most pictures tonight, we look perfect” I cooed out “stop it, thank you though. So North and P will be there, I am sure they will be ok with you guys, they are up to see new people but be mindful, they love to get high, but they said they will be good so yeah” I breathed out “don’t worry about it girl, you just have the best time, this is your day” I smiled “right! SUV is here, we need to go to the party or meal, I don’t know. I left it to my parents” Halle made her way over with Aziel in her arms “me and this one had a whole photoshoot didn’t we?” Aziel smiled “and we picked out some pictures, you said auntie is pretty, ugh. You beautiful rascal” I chuckled as I made my way to the door “ladies, ladies. Looking very beautiful” Diji complimented “looking handsome yourself boys, classy party. Remember that, you’re representing London” Diji laughed out “you know how I do; I’m going to show out. I got you Rylee” he better have got me, making my way out. I feel nervous for them to see North and P, they are always up to no good and I don’t know. I think it’s more nostalgia with me and North, I feel bad if I didn’t invite them, but I know they are never good for me too, I just don’t know what to do, I feel I need to let them go but they have been there for me, she did ride for me. Looking behind me “I feel so bad that we can’t give you back what you can give us” I gasped “how dare you girls even think about that? Just get it he car, this is on me. Just stop and have fun” Lillian got in the SUV “Diji go around and put him in the car seat, I don’t want Halle nails breaking so can you do it” Halle laughed knowing she would, she always does when getting my son in the car, this is why she calls him rascal.
Pulling a face at Halle “who is it?” She mouthed, turning my phone “nah, he seen the pictures, he doing the hey big head shit” I shushed Colin “did you go somewhere with better connection” I said “yeah, yeah I got it” he mumbled “you gone darker than me, you need to stop sitting in the sun” he has gone darker “yeah about that, I was out, and I had my phone in hand and I just turned around for one second someone pickpocketed my things, money and my cards, I reported it. I got my phone so that happened” rolling my eyes “I really think you should go home, please. It’s time now” he went silent “do me a favour, like I would ask Wadz but he’s going to lecture me but like I can’t leave or book anything because they took all my cards, the banks all locked them off so can you book me a ticket back? I know it’s your birthday and I’m sorry, but I need to get back now, I got no money or anything now. They locked me off” letting out an oh “don’t explain to me, seriously. Just please listen to me, for once. Don’t leave the hotel, I’ll do it and I will message you the flight details but trust me on this it will be the first flight back, you know I got you” I think he’s crying; I don’t know but I feel it “ok” he said just said “thank you, sorry” he apologised “besides that, you seem a little better like more lifted?” He does seem it “lot of soul searching, I know what I need to do” I am glad he said that “good, I think to me. The best present you can give is go home” he shouldn’t be there alone “I will, please and thank you for doing that, once I get new cards I will pay you back, on god I will” I laughed “stop it, I’ll do it now and text you” disconnecting the call “do what? What happened?” Lillian asked “he got robbed, I mean not shocked. They took his stuff, his cards have been locked or whatever, he asked if I can book him a flight back and I am, I rather he be home” Halle cooed out “that’s nice of you, that shows he trusts you and relies on you because he came to you but he has no money what about hotel? Unless he prepaid” she is right “I’ll ask, I’m sure he prepaid it, let me ask” calling him back, how the hell he going to forget that “hello” he answered “what about your hotel? How you paying for that?” I questioned “I put my card down” the line went silent “shit, oh man” his card is frozen “send me the hotel details, I’ll pay for it” he groaned out “man, my head has been all over its peninsula Bangkok, under my name” I sighed out “right, I want you to come home I mean it. I’ll pay for it, and pay for your transfer to the airport, also eat too, I’ll pay for the meal for the day or whatever. Oakley just come home” he is so stupid “I will, thank you. I’ll pay you back for that too” I chuckled “just come home” I said “you look amazing by the way” I giggled “be quiet” I said while putting the phone down “how sweet of you” I laughed “what can I say” I mumbled “are you wanting it to be business class for him?” Nodding my head “ok well that’s like two thousand” Diji looked for me “book it, I’ll give the card details, thanks for that. It’s for tonight he leaves” I want him out, I got to now pay for this hotel stay.
What drama that is, I am just glad that Oakley is going home, I don’t care for the money because to me that means nothing, his life means more. My dad really took in what I said about it being a classy party, this is very classy and very intimate. I have said all my hello’s, I even introduced North and P to my friends from London but in general she wasn’t interested, my dad said he will take care of Aziel for me so I can relax “Rylee!” North shouted “sit here” I was going to sit with my friends from London “sorry” I said in a whisper and made my way around “come to the fun side!” North said “fun side” pulling the chair out as I sat down “classy party? Us?” she says that but h seis right, she isn’t classy “well I told you what it was” North rested her head on my shoulder “I miss you so much, I can only imagine how boring life is in London” I rather have been with the other side but no “Melo misses you” just that name alone hit me “why!?” I spat, I just had enough and I have barely sat down “huh?” North said “why are you mentioning him? Why the fuck is he even a name that needs to be spoken, Melo is nothing to me” the whole place is silent “you’re rude to the friends that have come North” North mouth fell open “you have changed” she said “I have! You’re right, I am a mother, I am not a dope head, I am not a fucking alcoholic, I am a mother North! Stop bringing up my past, that isn’t me. Wake up will you, I have something that relies on me, that needs me. I am not you or P! That isn’t me. I cherish the friendship; I cherish you but this. The drugs, the fucking ex-boyfriend you keep bringing up, it ends” North and P both got up “you aren’t the best friend we thought” looking up at them “no, you both are unreasonable, not everything is a party. You know what, one day you both will get bored and one day we may be able to understand each other” they stormed out but I don’t want to hear it, I am over that life.
Lillian and Diji came over to me, I am upset. I didn’t want to snap on them like that but they are doing too much “are you ok?” My mom asked “it’s ok” I mumbled “girl” Lillian placed her arm around me “I hit cannot bring myself to think about the past me, this is what gets to me, she is trying to bring me down to what I was, what they are when I am changed, I am not that girl. I’ve taken months to actually see myself as a mother, to actually act this way and I come here and they just want me to be drunk and be with Melo to fuck my life up and for me to not be a mother; I don’t get it. Why can’t they support me as a mother” I ranted “they are stuck on the past you but also they maybe want you to know they remember everything you have done, they want you to remember who you were. I think it was given, it’s nasty for them to think about themselves and not think Aziel needs his mother” nodding my head “we go out right, we do things. We go out with Aziel, we go out without him and we have fun and we drink but I come home, this is why I want away from this place” on my birthday too “Rylee, I am glad that happened” my dad said “I have wanted you to make that change, and it’s happened. You have your real friends here, yeah it’s bittersweet but let them go” my dad said “you’re right” I sighed out, it is bittersweet because she has always been there for me and I’ve always felt like I had to do things because of that bur I can’t do it anymore “she hated that we were here, she wasn’t giving nice vibes at all” I noticed that shit too, it’s a sad moment.

Today's my birthday and I'm turning 24, so as a small little celebration we wanted to share 24 different facts about Astrarium!
The Original Dragon does in fact have a name; Aeon. You will hear his name or under the title Divine Aeon, but you will also still hear the Dragons call him The Original or The Original Dragon, as it's one of his names they use to respect him in death.
Some of our OCs actually started out as fandom OCs from different shows or video games we enjoyed. One of the character's name is actually an homage to a character Jonathan's Dad once played, and he's inspired by his Dad. We really enjoyed those characters, however, and wanted to bring them to the forefront! So, we fleshed them out as their own characters separate from those stories and gave them a new universe and story to exist in.
Jonathan almost named the entire crew of the Arabella after different liquors -- something you still see with Jinn and Morgan.
Three of the characters are actually based off of our Grandpas -- Wayne and MacGuffin we've discussed, but the other is Clyde (one of Jonathan's other grandfathers).
We're no stranger to AUs for our own story. In fact, there's even an alternate timeline Jonathan planned out he refers to as "worst case scenario".
Had we gone with the idea of Hercules, I had already had a main character in line with that story. Her name was Marley and she'd be kind of like a Superman-esque character for the Realm. Looking back, I'm more than happy we instead got Lepus and Henri.
Music's been a big inspiration for us as we write. Jonathan will tell you some of his best ideas came while on a Three Days Grace kick, while I have a list of different artists and songs that got me in the zone (but AmaLee remained a big one in that).
We have a different quote for each of the main characters that'll appear in the story, but we've shown here on this blog and on my personal. While coming up with those, a different word was assigned to them that represented each of the characters. Ari's was hope; Libelle's was duty; Gibbs's was adventure; Huck's had courage; Ronan's was virtue; Clyde's was power; Fauna's was destiny; Henri's was change; and Alexei's was serenity.
Auriga has a more unique species of animal in its plains; the cactus cat. This is based on the cryptid, but it's also a nod to one of our old projects, where our main characters did, in fact, have a pet cactus cat named DJ Sake Schnapps.
This one's just funny as hell; when Jonathan and I were discussing worldbuilding on Orion one day, he accidentally sent what he was trying to text me to his work group chat...what he sent them was one of his ideas on the giantesses' reproduction.
There will be memes we have made that are going to drop with specific chapters. We've been holding onto these for the last two years.
The Dragons having two forms was actually a later stage idea, coming out partially because we were struggling with making the Dragons on Hero Forge. Giving them their "true form" helped in that a lot and actually gave us a cool, unique idea to present in our story for them.
While we love all the Realms we made, we do have our favorites; Jonathan's is Hydra and mine is Ursa (though, Auriga is a very close second for sentimental reasons).
One of Ari's signs of affection is biting. If she chomps on your arm gently, that means she likes you.
Libelle was actually a later addition to the cast of main characters; originally, there was only eight. We came up with her sometime last year and her role became rather pivotal in our story very quickly.
We lovingly and jokingly refer to Gibbs, Huck, Ronan and Clyde as a collective as Team Daddy Issues.
Hydra, Auriga, Ursa and Orion are the Realms that predominantly worship the Dragons (the Sunblessed of Orion is even seen as a gift from the Gods). The people of Cygnus acknowledge the existence of their gods, but typically don't put a lot of faith in worship or offerings. Lepus typically really only does any sort of worship once a year, to pray and give offerings in the hopes to survive the next year (though a couple of bases have their own Dragon cults in them), but focus more on their scientific and technological progression. Lyra is more focused on partying every day and don't have really any true knowledge of the Watchers who oversee them.
We only have a couple of characters who have a solid middle name established so far; Gibbson "Gibbs" Theodore Cayde and Henrietta "Henri" Cecelia Franklin.
There's a minor character in Astrarium on Dragons Keep named Arsene. His name is a play on words (Aresene = Arson) and a Persona 5 reference. He is the true chaotic being in this universe.
As kind of stated on our blog, the stars hold a special meaning for us. Our very first project together, Greyish, featured a pantheon of gods that represented the 12 different zodiacs in astrology. When we came up with these Realms and decided to name them after stars (hence the name Astrarium) we decided to go for constellations not tied to the zodiac to give them a little bit of shine!
Ari's hair (always having two buns on top of her head) is absolutely a reference to Sailor Moon.
The trips used to look a lot different, with Ari portaling in and out as she pleased, until we solidified the idea of the save points in our story, which had been a lifesaver.
When it comes to the non dragon characters? Braum is the tallest out of all of the cast. Meanwhile, the shortest member of the cast is Lucy.
We've already been planning out an ideal cast when it comes to people we'd love to see voice these characters and may post them if you guys would be interested in that!

I couldn't make it to my dad's 70th birthday surprise party, because money is super tight, especially with 2 shifts a week and a dental bill of about 3K$ and one more appointment to go. I know it sounds like excuses but I don't have savings to dip in. My step-mother didn't even invite me to the fb group, my sister did after she inquired if I knew about it. I was going to post about trying when I was invited by her, but I saw that it was created a month earlier. Even though they might suspect that I wouldn't be able to attend, but at least I would have been aware of it to try to make plans; I might have been able to at least try before the whole dental thing happened.
So the day fell on one of my work nights. The party wouldn't start till the evening, so it gives me a chance to call during my break. I tried to do a facetime call, when he finally answered, no visual from him. He moved to a quieter place. I wished an advance birthday and all that and apologized that I couldn't make it and that I would call him again on his actual birthday. That's when I heard laughter from him and a few others, so it made me regret that I even called. I want to give the benefit of the doubt that it was happenstance of a comment at the party, but maybe it's because I was in a mask and uniform on screen. I tried another conversation, another set of laughter where I said nothing funny. I had more time that I could chat, but I wanted to hang up before I got upset. So I said that my break was over. The laughter made me think of past scenarios where I would hear my step-mother comment condescendingly but in a humorous tone. ie: "Oh that Insomniac, it's too bad that her work wouldn't let her book off. Ha ha!" Sometimes it's from another family member from that side. I feel like a fucking idiot. Why did I even bother to try? I should've just sent a text apologizing for the missed event and another one on his birthday, today. I keep trying and trying and trying, and I should've just continued to do as I started a few years, do the bare minimum as he had done. But no, I had to make an exception for a milestone birthday. That is more than what he did for mine. He tried to contact me at 8pm. A full day has passed. Although he posted on his page, wasn't able to tag me for some reason, wishing me a happy bday. I laughed about it and continued my night hanging out with the Roomie. They come down here for hockey and baseball games often and sometimes they contact me to find out if I'm available the day before (not enough time to make plans), if not I find out by a fb post that they were in town.
Yes. I'm bitter. I've ranted about him before. I'm trying hard to leave this energy. It does not serve me in the slightest!
I'm still going to give him a call because I promised. I hate that I have to be the better person. The empathy. All of it. And I'm angry at myself for it.

My Friend’s Father (Part Twelve)
Pairing: Cillian Murphy x Reader
Warning: Age Gap, Domestic Violence, Angst
Words: 1,366
Please comment and interact…it’s what keeps this blog going
***************************
 When you picked up the intercom, you were surprised to hear the voice of Denise’s mother and, after you let her upstairs through the apartment building, you quickly shoved your intimate toys beneath one of the pillows on Cillian’s bed and shut the door to his bedroom.
‘Hey Y/N’ she said somewhat surprised when you greeted her. ‘I thought Denise is in Manchester, visiting Cillian on set’ she then asked and you nodded nervously.
‘She is’ you confirmed while she made her way inside the apartment.  
‘So, what are you doing here on your own then?’ she asked somewhat confused and you had to think quickly in order to come up with an excuse.
‘Uhm…something happened at home and…uhm…Cillian offered me to stay here while he was not using the apartment while I am sorting out accommodation on campus’ you stammered, barely able to form a full sentence.
‘Right, well that’s nice of him’ she said before informing you that she came by to pick up some of Lucas’s things which he had left at the apartment during his last visit to Galway.
‘I have Lucas’s key but, since I saw the lights on, I didn’t just want to walk inside and I tried to reach Cillian but he didn’t answer his phone’ she explained before grabbing a bag from Lucas’s room, telling you that Lucas was waiting for her in the car and wishing you a pleasant night.  
****
The following day, you immediately received a call from Denise who was somewhat surprised when she found that you were staying at her father’s apartment in Galway.
‘My parents said that dad had offered you to stay at his apartment in Galway after I told him what happened between you and your father. Did he call you? I didn’t even think he had your number?’ Denise asked somewhat surprised before asking you whether you were alright after the incident.
‘I am fine. I gave your dad my number a while ago, just in case he ever needed it’ you explained and Denise didn’t bother to question you any more about it. Instead, she simply laughed, thinking that you were again trying to hit on her father.
Whilst she was surprised that he had rang you and offered you his place to stay, she knew about what had happened with your sister several years ago and felt as though her father probably just wanted to help you since you were her friend.
‘Anyway, dad isn’t coming home next week and Lucas is in Cork. You should come to Dublin and spend the weekend with me. We would have the house to ourselves’ Denise then suggested.
‘I can’t. I have to work’ you said, unable to tell her the truth, namely that you would be spending the weekend with her father.
‘That’s a shame. Well, I guess you would rather come and visit me in Dublin when dad is home anyway’ she then joked and you couldn’t help but gulp.
‘Yeah, well, he is hot’ you then said somewhat embarrassed but forcing out a laugh nonetheless.
‘You are disgusting’ Denise said before carrying on…‘Also, I am sorry to disappoint you but I think he’s got a girlfriend and it is not Laura Jennings’ Denise then said and you couldn’t help but ask Denise about it.
‘What makes you say that?’ you asked, curious as to how Denise knew about her father seeing someone else.
‘Dad has been glued to his phone all of last night, texting with a woman friend of his. This friend even sent him a nude picture’ Denise laughed, causing you to choke.
‘A nude picture?’ you asked, cheeks blushing red.
‘Yes, a nude picture. The message popped up on his phone in preview and I saw it. I couldn’t see her face though and, luckily, her intimate parts were covered by a James Joyce Novel’ Denise said rather amused and you couldn’t help but feel sick to your stomach knowing that Denise had seen this somewhat inappropriate picture of you.
‘Uhm…well…at least your dad is happy, right?’ you then said nervously.
‘Right. He seems pretty happy actually’ Denise said before having to bring the phone call to an end. ‘Anyway, I better go. Amalie wants to go shopping today’ Denise then said before wishing you a good day and telling you to stay away from her draws, thinking that you were staying in her room at the apartment.
***
With Denise and her mother being fully aware about where you were staying, it didn’t take long for your mother to find out and, if your mother knew, your father would soon know as well.
Denise’s mother and your mother used to be friends until contact broke between them following some sort of incident just over a year ago.
You never knew what the incident was about and Cillian made clear to you that he wouldn’t get involved in it again and, if you wanted to know about it, you needed to speak to your mother. It wasn’t his place to be unless it involved you directly.
You accepted his decision but, when your mother contacted Cillian’s ex wife to see whether she knew where you were staying after Denise refused to tell her, things had become difficult yet again and you agreed to meet your mother on Friday morning at a nearby café.
When you sat down together, she first handed you a letter from Trinity College in Dublin.
‘Your scholarship has been accepted. I suppose that will solve your problems, right?’ she asked with a warm smile and you couldn’t help but get a little excited. This was all you ever wanted and you knew that you could stay at campus in Dublin for free while attending university and working part time.
‘I am sorry mum, I shouldn’t have taken off so suddenly, but he has gone too far this time’ you said rather upset.
‘I understand and thank you for checking in with me every day via text message’ your mother then said and you nodded before giving her a hug. It was obvious to you that she wasn’t angry with you and supported your decision to leave rather abruptly.
‘I didn’t want dad to know where I am staying because, as far as I am aware, his relationship with Denise’s family is rather bad’ you then said which is also when your mother opened up to you about why this is the case.
‘Denise’s mother and I were good friends, even after she tried to help your sister behind your father’s back when we found out about her pregnancy. I knew about it. In fact, it was me who asked her for help. Your father found out about it later down the track and then he did to me what he did to you the other day. I went to Denise’s parents’ house for help as I was so upset but, in the end, I worked things out with your father through the Church counsellor’ your mother explained before telling you that your father had threatened Cillian and his ex-wife if they wouldn’t stay out of their marriage.
‘Mum, in all honesty, you deserve better than this. Why do you put up with his anger? Just because he repents every week doesn’t make it right’ you said, taking her hand.
‘Because I love him and this happened once. It never happened again’ she said and you simply nodded, having to accept her decision.
‘Okay’ you said before allowing her to change the topic to something more pleasant which is when you began talking about your upcoming birthday before it was time for you to go.
You knew that, in about five hours, Cillian would be at the apartment and, before he got there, you wanted to cook, tidy up, shower, shave and get yourself into some nice lingerie.

hello love! I got bored and thought of this. So it’s the readers bday and they like Adrien. Adrien like the reader and marinette hates that he does. So like reader is planning on throwing a party bc it’s their birthday so marinette decided to throw a party on the same day at the same time. And since reader is kinda new, everyone decided to go to Mari’s party. So that happens, but when Adrien gets to readers party, they’ve done gone batshit crazy, like screaming, crying, smashing things, idk just losing their shit. Not like in anger, they’re just really hurt by it. No hawk moth tho😩 hawkdaddy go on vacay or sum🤺🤺 Mk sorry this is long and it’s late and I’m kiiinndaaa drunk and in da feels anyway bye bye
HELLO ANON! SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT BUT HERE IT IS! I never thought that i would have to write about mean marinette but here i am LMAO. i hope you like it bb <33
Pairing: Adrien Agreste X Reader
Warnings: Swearing. 
Tags: angst, Marinette is a bitch in this oops, alexa play pity party by melaine martinez. 
“Love, Adrien.”
“Wow, that’s really cringey Adrien.”
“Shut up plagg, I need to confess to her some way or another.”
Adrien Agreste is sprawled out on his bed and he just finished writing a birthday card for you. Yes, it was quite cheesy but he decided that today was going to be the day he confesses his feelings towards you. He’s had his eye on you ever since your first day of school and you’ve both gotten closer to each other, flirting constantly but never making a move. Needless to say, he was head over heels for you and was too much of a pussy to ever admit it. But tonight was the night.
You invited him over to your house for your birthday party along with your other classmates and he didn’t even think twice to agree – especially since his dad is at a fashion expo in Spain. All he wanted was for you to have the best birthday party you could possibly have. You really meant a lot to him.
  his thoughts disappear when all of a sudden his phone beeps.
 ‘Y/N’S PARTY WILL BE HELD AT MY PLACE SO WE CAN SURPRISE HER, DON’T MENTION ANYTHING TO HER. 7PM ! DON’T BE LATE! ~Marinette’
  ‘Sorry, can’t come tonight.’ You frowned as you stared at your phone, seeing a text from Marinette. You and her weren’t really that close to be honest but you still wished for her to come and have a good time. You sighed and plopped down on your bed. It’s your sweet 16th and you wanted it to be perfect. You hoped that enough people would show up. It was your first birthday here in Paris and although you haven’t been here for a while, you thought that you already made close connections with your classmates, especially a certain blond.
All you wanted was for him to show up mostly, maybe tonight you could make a move. Maybe tonight you could possibly hold his hand, maybe dance with him, maybe give him a kiss on his soft cheek or a small peck on the lips-
Your face heated up at that thought and a grin appeared on your face. You hugged your pillow and quietly squealed. Tonight was the night and nothing could possibly ruin it.
Or so you hoped.
 Everywhere was decorated with fairy lights, balloons and glitter. Music was already playing and there were drinks and snacks for everyone to enjoy. You were wearing the outfit you’ve been planning for ages and you were sitting down, leg bouncing as you wait for people to arrive.
Did you get the time incorrect? you did mention to everyone that you’re meeting up at 7pm. It was 7:15.
Maybe they were running late? But how could it be that all of them were running late?
You furrow your eyebrows and grab your phone. You go on Instagram to see if anyone posted anything about their whereabouts.
Kim was live.
You click on it and see him walking through a crowd of people.
“Marinette, this party is amazing!” you hear him shout.
“Thanks Kim.” You hear her say.
Your jaw drops Anger starts bubbling inside of you.
Kim turns the phone up and shows Nino on the dj stand. He waves to the camera.
“Adrien! say hi to my live.” Adrien appears next to Kim. He was caught off guard. He smiles sheepishly and waves at the camera awkwardly.
Your phone drops out of your grasp and tears start rolling down your cheeks furiously.
 Adrien was looking everywhere for you. it was already 8pm and he was wondering when you’d show up. He held your gift and note close to his chest, he wanted to personally give them to you.
“H-hey Adrien..” The voice of Marinette makes him turn around to face her.
“Marinette! Where’s the birthday girl?” He asks, furrowing his eyebrows.
Marinette stares at him for a moment and nervously chuckles. “oh- well- she uh- she can’t make it!” He shrugs and laughs again. “did you get something to drink? We have pomegranate juice, peach lemonade, spr-“
“what do you mean she can’t make it? Why the hell is the party still going?” Adrien questions, looking around in disbelief.
“Adrien i-“
“Marinette, your plan is totally working, can’t believe everyone fell for- “ Alya stops speaking when she notices that Adrien is in front of her and purses her lips.
Adrien stares at Marinette for a moment, narrowing his eyes and shaking his head. “On her own birthday? Marinette, this is so not like you.” He was disgusted by her actions.
“Adrien wait!” She calls out. “I can explain.”
“I don’t know why you did this, or what the hell is wrong with you but this was really low. I’m out of here.” He glares at her before walking away from her.
 You were out of control. You cried, you screamed, you threw everything you saw in front of your eyes until you fell on your knees, sobbing.
You couldn’t believe Marinette would do this, you couldn’t believe everyone would do this to you, especially Adrien.
You thought you’ve grown close to the people in your class but you were wrong. They didn’t show up to your birthday party, they lied to you. Your heart was broken.
You held your knees close to your chest as the music lowly played behind you. It was mostly drawn out by your sobs and sniffles.
You hear footsteps approaching you and you look up, with red puffy eyes and see a familiar blond through your blurry vision.
It was Adrien. You look away and sob even harder at the thought of him seeing you like this, with everything destroyed around you. Why did he come here? Did he want to taunt you further?
He kneels down next to you and rubs your shoulder, moving you to his chest and causing you to nuzzle your face there.
“I hate this. I hate today, I hate Marinette.” You mumble. Maybe hate was a strong word, but you didn’t care at that moment.
You look up at him. “Why did you come here Adrien? Do you want to make me feel even more embarrassed than I already am?” You croak out.
He shakes his head. “Please, I swear to you Marinette told me that your birthday party was moved to her place, she told everyone that.” He sighs and shows you his phone so you could see the message Marinette sent him.
“Fucking bitch!” You exclaim and hide your face in your hands again.
“Hey, hey. I got here as soon as I found out she was lying. All I wanted was to celebrate your birthday and make you happy” He says quietly.  “I’m so fucking sorry that this happened.” He says and rests his head against yours in a comforting manner.
You look up at him and wipe your eyes, sniffling. “Well, there’s nothing I can do now. It’s ruined.” You mumble and sigh. “I thought Marinette was my friend you know?” You mutter.
“I know.” Adrien nods and looks down. He stares at the card in his hand and bites his lip, his heart racing at the thought of giving this to you.  “Maybe this will make you feel better.” He says, a small smile twitching on his lips as he hands you the envelope.
You widen your eyes and look up at him as if hesitant to open it. You open it though and you begin to read it.
Ever since the first time I saw you, you absolutely took my breath away. Ever since the day I first saw you, I thought to myself that I have to get to know you better. I did. And that may have been one of the best decisions of my life. You have a beautiful mind, a beautiful soul and a beautiful heart. To be honest, I think I keep falling for you every day. Happy birthday Ma belle, i hope you have the best one yet.
Love, Adrien.
Tears start rolling down your cheeks again, but this time it was because of his sweet words. Your heart finally felt whole.
You look up at him with glistening eyes and give him a wobbly smile.
He smiles sheepishly at you. “Will you go on a date with me?” He asks.
You didn’t even answer, you just leaned in and placed your lips on his.
It was small, but you felt fireworks burst inside of you.
You pull away and watch him flutter his eyes at you, his cheeks glowing red.
“Does that answer your question?” You ask.
He chuckles and kisses you again.
Maybe your birthday wasn’t so bad after all.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bokuto Koutarou 
It was your five-year anniversary with Bokuto and instead of going out, Bokuto wanted to be your personal chef for the night.
Weeks prior to your anniversary date, Bokuto spent his free time watching cooking videos and memorizing recipes of foods that had your eyes glimmer. 
Seeing all his hard work and puppy eyes, how could you say no. 
So here you were, admiring the love of your life happily cook a meal for you.
The delightful aroma causes you to unconsciously rub your growing tummy, the aroma making your mouth water.
You were currently twelve weeks pregnant and you’ve thought of ways to tell Bokuto but all ideas that came through your head didn’t seem like enough.
“Hey, honey? Did you hear me?”
“Sorry Bo, what did you say?”
“I was thinking now that we are married, you know, we could maybe start trying for a baby?”His words had you freeze in your spot. 
You weren’t sure if you felt relieved or a bit terrified of being put on the spot.
Almost if he sensed your silence, he turned around with the frying pan in hand starting to mutter apologies for being blunt.
Before he could get any more words out, you interrupted him but didn’t meet his eyes.
“We are pregnant, Bo.” You whispered and closed your eyes as you waited for anything to ease you. 
Instead of being met with his words, you heard the frying pan clatter on the floor.
“What?”
You took a deep breath and prepared to meet his disappointed face but instead, you were met with a teary-eyed Bokuto. 
Quickly, you made your way to your husband and pulled him towards you. 
You sat him down on the chair you were in and you took his large hand in yours to place a kiss on his knuckles before directing his palm to rest on your growing tummy. 
Bokuto’s eyes fluttered shut as he started to fully process it, his large hand on your tummy making you feel happy. 
Once his eyes opened, Bokuto pulled you into his lap and covered your face with sweet kisses while whispering the sweetest words only for your ears.
“Baby, I love you so much! Thank you for making me so damn happy!”
Your heart was full of utter warmth and happiness that you felt like you were on cloud nine.
Tumblr media
Hinata Shouyo 
Hinata treated you like a queen. He always wanted to take you to the most beautiful restaurants with a perfect scenery just to see you glow in happiness.
Of course, you mentioned that you were happy with just being cuddled against his warm body at home but he always said that his queen deserves the best.
So that brings you to one of the fanciest restaurants that you have ever been to. 
You felt a bit uncomfortable because of how your fancy clothes clung to your growing belly. Your worried mind raced through different scenarios that you completely missed the waiter asking you what you would like to drink.
“We would like a bottle of wine. Tonight feels like a special night.”
Without thinking you answered, “No, I can’t drink alcohol for nine months. It’s bad for the baby.”
“Nine months? Baby?” Hinata muttered under his breath until it hit him. 
The waiter and Hinata looked at you with wide eyes and it took you a moment to realize what you had said.
“Surprise?” You shyly giggled at their reactions. 
Before you could say anything more, Hinata jumped out of his chair to pull you into his arms.
“Hey everyone, I’m going to be a dad!” The waiter and the people that were sitting near you congratulated the two of you.
Hinata’s hands cupped your face and placed a loving kiss on your lips and thanked you for making him the happiest person in the universe. 
Tumblr media
Kozume Kenma
It was Kenma’s birthday and by his request, it was just a day at home. He wanted to spend his special day with the most important person to him in the comfort of your shared home. 
And of course, you could not deny his request.
You planned to make his favorite food while he played a few of his favorite games. 
While you waited for the food to simmer, you pulled out Kenma’s special gift and opened it to make sure everything was perfect for the thousandth time.
Today was the day you were finally going to tell him that you were carrying his child. You didn’t know how much longer you could continue to hide it since your belly was starting to show as each week passed.
You set up the dining table and called Kenma to come to eat with you.
Your heart pounded in your chest when you saw your boyfriend walk into the dining room with a smile on his face.
“Happy Birthday, baby! Before we eat, I do have a really special gift for you.”
With shaky hands, you handed Kenma the gift. You carefully watched his every move as he opened the box in his hands. 
“Player three is coming in 2022?”
He read out loud, clearly confused as he looked up at you.“We are having another person in our relationship?”
Kenma looked like a puppy that’s been kicked as his eyes watered and you panicked.
“Baby, no! Look at the rest of the box.” Your hand caressed his cheek as he pulled out an ultrasound picture from the box. 
Once it hit him, Kenma giggled and pulled you to sit on his lap. He nuzzled his face on the crook of your neck and sighed happily.
“So that’s why you have been wearing my clothes lately. Thank you, baby. I love you so much.” Kenma whispered contently against your neck.
Tumblr media
Miya Atsumu 
It was the last set of the game. One more point and your boyfriend’s team would win the team.
It was the last game of the season and Atsumu asked you to come to see him play. 
He wanted to go to the game with you by his side but you had other plans for him. 
Of course, there was no way he didn’t leave the house with a huge pout on his face. So you had to bribe him with cooking his favorite meal when you came home together. 
Almost immediately when he left, your best friend, Osamu’s girlfriend, pulled up to your parking lot, waiting for you to head to Atsumu's big game.
“The poster’s in the back seat, I wrote what you sent in the last text and before you ask, the ultrasound is there too.”
Your nerves grew as you saw your boyfriend prepare to set the last point. You closed your eyes as you tried to calm your nerves.
Once you opened your eyes, you saw that Atsumu was looking right at you and smiled when your eyes met. He immediately hit the ball and scored right away.
When Atsumu scored the winning point, his teammates rushed up to him to celebrate.
Osamu’s girlfriend nudged your side as you both made your way to your boyfriend on the court.
Osamu saw the two of you head closer to the court and he called his twin over, already knowing what was going to happen.
Your body shook with nerves as you turned the poster around to let Atsumu read it.
“Congratulations Dad?”
Shaking his head at his twin, Osamu smacked the back of Atsumu’s head as he pointed to the ultrasound. 
When it clicked in his head, Atsumu dropped himself onto his knees and nuzzled his face onto your baby bump.
“My beautiful prize, thank you.” 
Tumblr media
Oikawa Tooru
You knew it wasn’t Oikawa’s fault but who would stay calm when the waiter wouldn’t stop flirting with your husband right in front of you. 
It surely didn’t help that your pregnancy heightened almost all of your emotions.
Oikawa knew you were no longer enjoying the meal when he saw you unintentionally playing with your food.
He tried to talk to you but all he would get was really short answers. He could no longer sit there when he saw you get teary-eyed so he held your hand and walked out of the restaurant after he paid for the meal.
The ride to your shared home was silent, you avoided your husband’s concerned eyes by looking outside the passenger window.
Once you got home, you kept on walking ahead of Oikawa and the feeling of his eyes burning the back of your head riled you so much more.
“Baby, let’s talk. What’s wrong?”
“You know what’s wrong.”
“No, I don’t. Baby, you’re acting like a pregnant woman.”
“That’s because I am, you giant idiot.”
Oikawa’s eyes widened at your words as his mouth trembled.
“You what?” 
“You know what I said, you big dummy.”
His arm reached out to you and pulled you into his chest. He placed one of his hands on the nape of your neck while the other rested on your lower back.
“I know, baby. Just wanted to hear you say it again just to make sure that I’m not dreaming.”
“I am carrying your child, Tooru.”
His hold on your body became tighter as you said it again. 
“My dream has become true, thank you.” 
Tumblr media
Sawamura Daichi
Nothing about today seemed out of the ordinary, just another casual day where you took a stroll in the park, hand in hand with Daichi.
Every step you took had you feeling sudden happiness that made your eyes tear up.
There were days where you would feel like this but those days were starting to feel like they were happening very often. 
You took the time to not only admire the beautiful park but your boyfriend. 
He seemed very distracted by whatever he was looking at so you followed his gaze and it led you to a playground full of toddlers. 
Your heart fluttered at the sight of Daichi unconsciously smiling.
The endearing moment came to an end when a little boy ran up to you with a woman running right behind him.
“Congrats, you have a child in there!” The little boy pointed at your tummy before turning back to the woman who was a few steps away.
Daichi’s eyes were stuck on your stomach while you started recalling the tiniest of things. 
Your hold on Daichi’s hand tightened when you remembered that your period hasn’t come.
Your eyes met your boyfriend’s and it’s as if you both had the same thought.
That’s what led you to this moment, Daichi sitting along with you on the bathroom floor as you wait for the results of three pregnancy tests.
The timer on your phone went off and your heart pounded violently against your chest as you turned the timer off. 
Your boyfriend’s hand reached for yours as if telling you that he’d be by your side regardless of the situation.
His free hand reached for the pregnancy tests sitting beside you and counted to three to see the final results
One…
Two…
And three positive tests that had Daichi’s eyes and yours simultaneously tear up.
Before you could say anything, his lips crashed against yours as he cupped your face in the palm of his hands.
“I’ll be here for the two of you, always and forever.”
Tumblr media
Tendou Satori
Your husband, Tendou, went out to go buy a couple of things needed at home and medicine since you were feeling a bit under the weather. 
But the thing you didn’t tell him was that you were late. 
One of your friends had come over minutes after Tendou left to give you a few pregnancy tests because you wanted to make sure before you told him anything. 
You couldn’t bear to spend every minute sitting down by the tests so you paced around the bed until your alarm went off. 
Without peeking at the pregnancy tests, you sat down on Tendou’s side of the bed and held his pillow in your arms, his scent instantly calming you.
When you felt ready, you flipped each test around to be met with a bold “Pregnant” on the screen.
You stayed frozen on the bed as you continued to stare at the tests in slight disbelief.
You couldn’t tell how long you stayed frozen but you knew it was a while when your husband walked through the door, rambling.
“Hey, Princess. I found these really cute shoes that couldn’t wait for the future.”
“Princess, what are you- Oh!”
His eyes landed on the positive pregnancy tests and he softly cooed at you. Tendou sat right in front of you and caressed the apple of your cheeks as he whispered sweet words to comfort you.
He gently laid on the bed with you right against him and peppered tiny kisses on your forehead.
“I knew those baby shoes were calling to me for some reason.”

Someone submitted something in my inbox and they wanted to remain anonymous. Since this is an extremely long essay, I will put it under the cut. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
xxx submitted: hey, i was the one who ask what do you think of Misha and Jensen's current relationship First off all thank you for your answear it means much to me cause im easy to be convice and this person who keep telling me that they are no longer friends can be so convicing, so I'm actully trying to forget what she said 😅 so I'm just writing a few. she said that since they no longer work together, they will forget about each other, and do their common things like the gay jokes, face touches ect. With other people, and neglect each other, don't talk to each other, and then meet new people who will replace the other. And and she talked about the gish thing, she said she sure they didn't talk since the end of the series, because Jensen didn't know where Misha was and Misha didn't know about the Radio Company vol 2 (but i saw people say that, they were just pretending, because Misha liked something about Radio Company Vol 2, before the gish live, so in theory he already knew then or something like that) and She said Misha wrote a poem about Darius not Jensen and now I will write down what she sent me : I saw a post about Jensen's current activities on social media, and I've come to the conclusion the only person he doesn't interact with is mish. Sadly this makes my break up theory even stronger. I feel like this is a goodbye to one of the biggest parts of my life. They've moved on from "uk what I haven't told you today? That i love u"+ from "miss my only jensen" from "i love u misha i mean it from the bottom of my heart" from "jensen has no flaws" from "misha is the funniest thing ever happened to me" from all that love and affection from everything they developed together and now they're apart leaving their lives like nothing happened and call me a dramatic but they both have the same energy now as someone has after a big break up. and Jensen comments on almost every of his friend’s post except Misha’s"+ Jenmish is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened in my entire life. I owe them literally everything. They're the reason i hold on. Unfortunately on this essay i have to start using past tense verbs for them, and i have to continue on that. I don't know for how long y'all been in spn fandom. But even if u joined one year before the show ended you'd know how close and intimate jensen and misha were. Everything about them was unmatched.+ The chemistry and how they just fit eachother. They had always been all over eachother. Like they were holding on eachother for dear life. They completed eachother and were like world's most powerful thing. They were the definition of soulmatism. No matter where, they ALWAYS kept interacting with eachother. Each possible tweet or insta post. On cons that the other wasn't there, the other one would bring up the othere's name for no absolute reason. +The looks and repeated love confessions. How invested they were both into eachother. The family they had built together cuz we know how close dee and mish are (look all the charity work they've been doing together recently). There are youtube videos to proof everything I've said so far.When i say break up, my real intention is that they've grown apart. Everything started in the the third or forth month of pandemic. Before than jensen used to interact +(comment mostly) on almost all of misha's posts. But after a while everything just stopped. At first personally didn't care that much. Bcuz I believed too much in them that I thought not even the gods above could separate them. I told myself maybe they spend long hours chatting or video calling and that's why online public interactions are gone. But as it passed it almost diminished to zero. Except some likes from jackles and eventual ones from misha there weren't anything else.+ We got absolutely no content and the show went off too. We were helpless and were sticking to everything we had Dee had a big social media shot down, so as jensen. Misha was busy with the election. We got some interviews for it with all of them. But we didn't get much.except remember both of them pulling a bff
move. and texted eachother during an online con where everyone else were dead-serious about politics? That flickered something in me. That showed me that+ they can't ever possibly let eachother go. And the times everyone else were talking and these too would just talk random things together (the one jackels had a white hat on with stacy abraham).And then Misha posted that for jensen's bday We really overlooked it. That shit was too intimate. To close. Fav march baby? U just don't go around and called ur bestie baby and when u mean it deeply. Especially not when ur friend is jensen ackles the "I suffered form internalized homophobia my whole life+ but fuck my wife's an angel and i have an angel bf too and another angel which is his wife but I'd rather die than come out cuz my asshole dad pulled a John winchester on me". It doesn't work like that. But uk how mish is. Carefree and open. I believe they got into a fight bcuz of this. He didn't even like the post. AND that was when the tiny bit of interactions we had was gone too. For a while jensen didn't even liked his posts. After a month it started again.What made me finally believe in that they had grown too+ far: I still remember the night misha posted that he and jensen were going to have a con for gish together. I remember how hard I cried. Lile the whole world was given to me. But deep down in my heart I knew that something would definitely happen. It didn't sit right with me and unfortunately my senses never lie to me. Jensen showed up at the wrong time bcuz of misunderstanding the time zones (this was HILARIOUS). That's not even my point.+ I've seen that interview 3 times so far. It always reminds me of when i saw my ex at a party and we were both so thrilled to see eachother and we still loved the other dearly, but we just couldn't work it out. Jensen and Misha's expressions were EXACTLY the same. The genuine smiles and longs pauses were they just stared at eachother. I'm so happy that it was online cuz if they actually gave that looks to eachother standing right next to the other one I would've collapsed. Misha didn't know that jensen's album+ was out. And he got so embarrassed when he found it out. He didn't know that jensen was on set and hadn't been home for 8weeks. Jensen had no idea where misha was. And this means that they hadn't talked in a long long time.When you're that close with someone for more than a decade, i mean THAT close, even if u're separated from eachother you'd at least check on the once a week, or at least once in two weeks. But it was vividly clear that they hadn't. I hate how this world works. They would always be in my heart.+ I would be thankful from them for everything. It hurts, and it won't stop and im so sure I'd be carrying this pain for a long time. They mean too much to a lot of us. Sometimes I think to myself that god i love them so much. Remember in 2019 when we used to get SO many jenmishdee interactions? That was LIT. It was THEE year for us. I hope they're doing good. I really do. I hope we don't get more proofs and I won't have to update this thread. Cuz my heart won't be taking it very+ well.Something i gotta add U may say that Jensen's busy and that's why he doesn't comment. But he comments on a lot of jared and his new costar's posts. So that's no excuse. So yeah that's it. I don't know what am I supposed to think. english isn't my native language, so sorry for the mistakes
Here is my response:
I don't know who this person who has been talking to is but I have to say they seem to be project their previous relationship experience on cockles.
I believe Jensen and Misha are okay and are together. Social media likes and comments don't mean anything. I mean it's not like Jensen or Misha used to comment on each other's posts before. Jensen didn't even wish Dee Happy Mother's Day this year, does that mean they are not together anymore? Nope. He has other best friends he has known for over 20 years like Jason Manns, Steve Carlson etc that he doesn't wish happy birthday, does that mean they are not friends anymore.
Please let's not put value on social media likes. I don't even follow my own family on sm and I don't always like or comment on my bf's or bff's posts on sm. So it doesn't mean anything.
As for the Gish Panel, I have talked about it before, the time Jensen was slotted to attend the panel, he was meant to answer fan questions. I honestly believe they decided to not do it at that time because they knew the questions would be about Destiel and not their new projects. If you watched that panel, Misha knew that Jensen's album was out as I pointed out. He was just trying to promote the album and soldier boy. He knew Jensen had also buffed out. It was all to promote Jensen. Anything else you hear is trolls and antis just being loud. Also don't forget Jensen called him "babe".
If Jensen and Misha weren't okay, he wouldn't have attended or participated all those panels Misha organized especially for Gish. Danneel also posts a lot about RA and likes Misha's posts. I am 100% Misha visited the Ackles when he went to Colorado last month.
Stop listening to trolls and/or antis or just people who are projecting and look at facts.

I Think I'm OKAY
genre: Angst, hurt comfort
length: two parter
warning(s): Feelings of abandonment, self-depreciating thoughts, suicidal thoughts (briefly), feelings of not being good enough, feelings of being unneeded and unloved
A/N: its just been a day guys. And Ive been think about this all day so I just wrote to get tge thoughs out of my head.
this takes place a few months after the epilogue of Everything Undesired where Azalea is still coming to grips with the fact that she's not her father's heir like she always thought she had been. Mammon and Arella really did try to make time for her but things just never worked out in their favor and it ended up giving their daughter abandonment issues.
She’s lost. Not physically but mentally- Azalea doesn’t know where to go or what her purpose is. Ever since her older brother returned from where ever the hell he’s been her whole life, she’s felt more alone than ever before. From her parents being busier than ever helping Cyrus readjust to life here in the Devildom to her twin brother being curious enough about their new older brother to spend all his time trying to get to know him, no one has time for Azalea any more.
Whenever she tries to reach out to either her parents or her brother she gets blown off. It’s always ‘I’m sorry, I couldn’t make it.’ or ‘I’m sorry, I forgot that was today.’ Forgot? How does one just forget about their child? And Azalea is sorry too. She’s sorry for existing. Maybe everyone is just tired of her. Maybe they didn’t need her anymore? After all, she was just her father’s back up plan. A back up plan. Yeah, it sounded as bad as it hurt- to think that’s the only reason he kept her around all this time. Despite how she might try, all she could ever do is fuck up. Why would her parents ever need a child like that?
She feels abandoned, unneeded. All she ever wanted was to make them proud- she pushed herself to maintain the perfect grades just for their praise. Hell, she’d even forced herself to take advanced placement and honors courses just for their approval but they hadn’t even noticed. And it’s not like she hadn’t tried to show them. The last report card she got in her last year of middle school had a note attached to it stating that when she entered RAD, she’d be welcomed into the advanced courses but of course they had been too busy to even look. Both of her parents assumed nothing had changed so they just didn’t need to see something they had seen hundreds of times already.
Why did they stop loving me? The half-demon thinks to herself, Was it all the fights? Was I not good enough for them? I wish I could make them happy the way my brothers do. I wish I was perfect like them, maybe then they wouldn’t have forgotten about me. Maybe I would still belong. What did I do wrong? Azalea can feel the tears dripping down her face. I’m crying? Again? Pathetic. People like me don’t cry.
She hurriedly wipes them away as she looks up at the stars that dot the night sky of the Devildom. She’s pretty high up on a rooftop. She wonders if a fall from this height might kill her or would it just leave her badly injured- the idea’s tempting. She’d come up here to clear her mind and sort out her feelings with how things had changed- how everything she thought she was meant to be had been ripped away from her, but it had just made things worse. She thought she was okay with all this change but after trying for months to find something new to do with the rest of forever, she found out the only thing she was ever any good at was getting into fights. Sure, she’d taken up sports on her uncle Beel’s suggestion but that led to even more pain when time after time, neither of her parents could be bothered show up.
Her phone lights up with a text from her father.
Dad:
Why weren’t ya at dinner today?
Azalea:
Why weren’t you and Mum at my meet today? Ya know like you promised ya would be?
Dad:
‘Zay c’mon don’t be like that. We said we were sorry but something important came up and we couldn’t make it
Azalea:
Sure whatever you say old man
Its what you always say
It's always something more important ain’t it?
Something more important than me.
Dad:
Azalea
Azalea:
Shove it old man. I don’t wanna hear it right now.
She always gets the short end of the stick. For parents that claim they care about her, they sure had a shitty way of showing it. As the family’s resident trouble maker, she’s not good enough for them. Whatever, she doesn’t even need them anyway. She deserves better than a family that doesn’t care. A family she no longer has a place in. And that was fine by her. Now that she’d finally admitted it to herself, she found it would be easier to ignore her entire family and live life depending on only herself.
With a shuddering huff, the girl shuts her D.D.D off and shoves it in her jacket pocket. She leaves the roof top, still in tears headed for the House of Lamentation.
------------------------------------------------------
“Arella, I have to go and find our daughter.” Mammon sighs as he gets his jacket on.
“She’s still upset about the track meet, isn’t she?” The black-haired human frowns “If you’ll give me a moment, I can ask Aurelius if he’ll watch Mahlon and I’ll go with you. This is something we should address together.”
“I don’t think we got the time to waste, Hon. She stopped respondin’ ta my texts and isn’t answerin’ her phone. If I don’t go now, she might so something to herself. I’ll be able to cover more ground quicker if I fly since she could be anywhere- even up high where we wouldn’t be able to see her that easily.”
“Then go on, I’ll talk to her when she gets home.” Arella nods as her husband leaves.
------------------------------------------------------
She enters her room through the garage door entrance. She really didn’t need to considering Azalea was the only one home currently. She knew Aurelius and Zulima would be gone for the rest of the weekend but still she locked her door to prevent any unwanted visitors- mainly her parents as she knew they’d probably come looking for her after the message she’d sent to her father earlier.
She looked over at the stack of unopened akuzon boxes- all gifts sent to her by her parents as ‘apologies’ for various things. Yeah sure, gifts were nice when they were for things like birthdays or Christmas but not when they were used as a way to placate her feelings when her parents missed things like track meets or science fairs or school functions that they promised they would be there for. It felt like a shallow apology so Azalea never opened any of them. They were starting to collect dust now.
Just because greed is her sin doesn’t mean its satisfied by material objects alone. There was more to it than that. Her sin specifically manifests with being greedy for healthy interpersonal relationships- things like money or material objects only did the bare minimum to help keep it under control and satisfied. She wanted her parents’ attention and only that so when they failed to keep their promises, it hurts her deeper than either of them understands- Azalea doesn’t even have the words to describe how it hurts her.
As she plops down on her sectional and flips on the projection of stars and constellations from the human world to calm herself down, she thinks about the way her greed is eating her alive as she turns on some music- a song her friend from the human world showed her called ‘I Think I’m Okay’. It was a song she really related to for some reason. As the song plays on loop, she thinks about how when she was younger- before her youngest brother was born- she was always of healthy weight and body condition. Nowadays with the lack of ability to satisfy her sin, she was just skin and bone. Despite eating constantly, she always feels like she’s starving and she’d be lucky if she weighed in at 90 pounds soaking wet- all of it coming from the weight of her bones and muscle. Her body is just burning through everything too fast and at this point Azalea doesn’t know whether or not she even has the energy to waste to transform into her demon form anymore.
The half-demon hears a faint knock at the door. Maybe if she doesn’t answer then whoever it is will get the hint and go away. As she watches the door open, a scowl appears on her face. Of course her father would pick the lock on her door. She doesn’t know why she’s even surprised right now. He never knows when to leave well enough alone.
“We need to talk...” Mammon says as he sits down on the couch next to her.
“I don’t wanna. Get lost.” the teenager rolls on to her side away from her father.
“Too bad. I’m not leavin’ until we do.”
“Then prepare ta die in here cuz I refuse.” She can’t let him fool her into accepting his apology when she knows full well he doesn’t mean it.
“You really are just like your ma sometimes- stubborn as all get out.” He sighs. “I see ya never opened yer packages. Why?”
She continued to ignore him. How can she get out of this? Maybe if she closed her eyes, she could fool him into thinking she was asleep.
Just get frustrated and leave already. It’s what ya always do when I won’t talk to ya.
She waits an hour, two, three but still he doesn’t leave.
Man is this getting annoying! Why won’t he just give up and go home already?
“Well, since ya won’t talk, I will. Ya know, Mom and I really are sorry we couldn’t be there this afternoon... I know you’re upset about it but we got called to an emergency meeting at the castle and we... kinda... forgot what time it was by time we were done.  I know we don’t have a lot of time to spend with ya anymore but things are just so crazy right now... it’s difficult and when ya act like a brat like this it doesn’t make things any easier.” And Mammon realizes too late that he’s said the wrong thing and put his foot in his mouth.
“Right... cuz that’s all I am is a spoiled brat...” Azalea can’t help the way her voice quakes. “I’m a brat because I asked for you and mum to pay attention to me over the boys just this once and you two let me down and now, I’m getting blamed for being as upset as I am. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.”
“Azalea, that’s not what I meant and you know that,” Mammon places his hand on her shoulder to turn her over and is shocked when all he feels is bone and muscles that are beginning to atrophy. “What are you doing to yourself? Yer nothin’ but skin an’ bone, Baby.”
“I’M NOT THE ONE WHOSE DOING THIS TO ME!” she roars as she hops up from the couch. “IT’S YOU TWO. YOU’RE THE ONES DOING THIS TO ME!” and then her voice suddenly drops. “But you would notice that if you spent more than five seconds with me. My greed is eating me alive and it’s your fault. I’ve tried for months to get you or Mum to spend time with me and I get forgotten about every time because something ‘more important’ comes up or you also make plans with Aurelius or Cyrus and choose to do that over spending time with me. It’s either that or you both choose Mahlon over me and it’s literally killing me. I get that they all need you guys too and I’m not more important than them but it feels like they’re more important to you than me. And I hate it because...” She lets out a sob as she sinks to her knees, “Because you two are the most important people to me.”
Mammon looks at his daughter with a horrified look on his face. His only daughter feels like she’s not important to them but she was right in a way. Both he and Arella had been choosing her brothers over her- not intentionally but he can see why she would come to that conclusion. This was a very crucial time in her life having had everything she thought she was taken away and she was lost with no clue where to go. He and her mother should have been right by her side, helping her find a new path in life this whole time but instead they got so wrapped up in work and other things that now their daughter was suffering the consequences.
“No, baby that’s not true.” The demon says as he wraps his little girl up in his arms. “You are so important to us too.” He rubs her back as he rocks her back and forth, “We love you so much and I’m so sorry we haven’t made ya feel like that. We’re gonna do better from now on. I promise, okay?”
Azalea is hesitant to nod. How many times had she heard the word promise and then had that promise broken but even now as she’s wrapped up in her father’s arms, she’s starting to feel the overwhelming weight of her sin slowly start to go away. She just rests her head against his chest as her puffy teary blue to gold eyes start to slip closed ever so slowly.
“Sweet dreams, Princess.” He says as he runs he hand through her hair and places a kiss to the top of her head.

Surprise – Howlin’ For You – One Shot
Description: Bucky forgets it’s his birthday. But his wife and kids aren’t going to let that slide. 
Pairing: AU - Biker!Bucky x Fem/Reader
Howlin’ For You - Masterlist
Read the series or you will not know what the fuck is happening.
Tumblr media
Bucky was so tired that a part of him was worried about getting home on a motorcycle without falling asleep. 
It was like the universe was torturing him with the day that he had. It seemed as if every customer he had to deal with at the shop today was a privileged asshole. All of them either pretended like they knew more about auto mechanics than him or yelled at him for the very reasonable pricing he gave them on their vehicles.
Customer service had always been the thing Bucky hated most about running his own shop. He tried to avoid dealing with customers at all cost. Steve was much more patient than he was – most of the crew was. 
But the whole reason they’d created the shop in the first place was to offer people realistic prices and to not rip off naive and unassuming customers.
Now Bucky was mentally and emotionally exhausted.
He’d sent a text to Y/N earlier, telling her how he’d become more and more irritated from work as the day went on.
She sent her support and promised she’d try to cheer him up when he got home.
Bucky immediately brought the conversation to more risqué suggestions, but Y/N didn’t seem to mind in the slightest.
He also knew that a few minutes with his kids and he’d cheer up. Amelia would want to cuddle with him or the twins would show him their new model cars they built with so much enthusiasm that he wouldn’t be able to help but feel better.
When Bucky walked through the door, his shoulders immediately relaxed. He gave most of the credit to Y/N for making their house an oasis of comfort and warmth.
But then he noticed how oddly quiet the house was, which was a rarity with a 5-year-old daughter and 9-year-old, rambunctious twins.
“Doll?” He called out.
Suddenly Amelia came running to him, slamming into his legs with her tiny body.
“There’s my girl,” Bucky chuckled as he lifted her up to hold her.
She was already growing up so fast that he knew carrying her around could end at any moment – more from her not wanting him to than her becoming too big.
“Where is your pretty mama and your crazy brothers, huh?” He asked her after giving her cheek a kiss.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulders.
“They told me to come get you,” she informed him.
“Oh, yeah? What for?”
Amelia giggled. “It’s a secret,” she whispered.
“A secret? Sounds like trouble.” But now Bucky was getting a little suspicious. “Is this hide and seek? Are you here to help me find them?”
Amelia giggled again and shook her head. “No, silly. Th-They told me to say…ummm…” She was now have trouble battling the short-term memory that came with being 5 years old.
“Told you to say what, babydoll?” He encouraged her softly.
She smiled, not seeming to care that she wasn’t doing a good job of giving him the message. “The backyard,” she laughed.
“I’m supposed to go to the backyard,” Bucky confirmed with a slow nod.
Then he kissed her head. “Alright. Let’s go to the backyard.”
Bucky assumed the twins had Y/N hostage, showing her everything about the new dirt bike he’d brought home for them just a few days ago. While Y/N didn’t know nor care much about the mechanics, like her sons and daughter, she humored them by nodding and oohing and aahing at the right parts.
As soon as they were close to the door that led out to the patio and backyard, Bucky was surprised he couldn’t hear the twins talking Y/N’s ear off. Also the lights were off, making it hard to see anything through the windows of the house.
When Bucky pulled the door open, he was met with the backyard lights turning on and a crowd screaming, “Surprise!”
On instinct alone, he turned his body a bit so Amelia was shielded. But he quickly recovered, steadying his breathing and realizing neither he nor his daughter were in any immediate danger.
The whole week of work, specifically today, had been so hectic and stressful that Bucky kept forgetting his birthday was just around the corner.
Now he was facing what looked to be every person he’d ever met in his life.
All of the Howlies were laughing and cheering at his arrival. Someone had already started up the music again. People were talking amongst themselves now that the surprise had been delivered.
Grayson and Owen came running out of the crowd, Y/N slowly walking behind them with a warm smile.
“Were you surprised, dad?” The twins both asked excitedly.
“Sure was,” he laughed as he mess up both of their hair.
“Did you spoil the surprise, Amelia?” Grayson asked his little sister, who was still in her dads arms. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
She glared and shook her head before nuzzling closer to her father.
“No, she didn’t ruin anything. She could be a spy,” Bucky defended.
Now Y/N had made her way to them.
“You,” he playfully glared at his wife. “Come here.” She laughed and stepped closer, earning a kiss from him. “You plan all this for me, troublemaker?”
She barely pulled away from his lips, “Maybe.”
“Thank you, doll. You didn’t have to do this.”
Y/N shrugged. “I was just a little worried after you told me how bad your day was going. I thought maybe this would be all be too much.”
“Of course not,” he assured her.
He moved her lips to his ear. “I’m sorry about the lights and screaming, I tried to tell them not to do it. But everyone was really committed already,” Y/N muttered to him so no one else could hear, proving that she caught how he’d reacted to the surprise.
He kissed her again. “It’s fine, Y/N.” 
Even after all these years, Bucky was still amazed at how well they could read each other.
Then Y/N grabbed Amelia from his arms. “Now, I’ll take this one, because you got a lot of people who want to wish you a happy birthday.”
As soon as Y/N stepped away and took the kids with her, Bucky was bombarded with people giving him hugs and saying hi.
All of the Howlies were there, along with their partners and kids. He spotted his mom and sister talking to Y/N’s family. Some of Y/N’s friends who had become Bucky’s friends were there too. It was like their usual Howlie gatherings – but magnified and with all the attention on Bucky.
He could’ve gone without the attention, but he enjoyed having all the important people in his life all in one place.
An hour later, he found Steve running the grill.
“Alright, punk, I know you were responsible for this too,” Bucky growled.
They’d just seen each other at the garage a few hours ago.
“I may have helped a bit,” Steve confessed through a mischievous smile.
“How’d you all keep it a secret? Especially, Sam – that idiot can’t keep his mouth shut.”
“I fucking heard that!” Sam shouted from over Bucky’s shoulder.
Bucky laughed and gave Sam an unapologetic shrug.
“That wife of yours did most of the work. I felt like I was back in the military with the way she had everything organized and dished out jobs to all of us.”
Bucky laughed at that, picturing Y/N giving out orders to his biker gang.
Hours later, Y/N had put the kids to bed and the adults really got down to celebrating. 
She was starting to get worried with the amount of shots and drinks people were thrusting onto Bucky. The man could hold his alcohol, but he was still just a human.
“I’m going to end up carrying that man to bed, aren’t I?” Y/N asked Sam and Nat as they sat around a fire.
The three of them drew their attention to Thor and Clint who were shoving another shot onto Bucky.
“Make him find his own way to the couch,” Sam chuckled.
“This is why you’d make a bad boyfriend,” Nat smirked.
“What?” Sam yelled. “I’m a great boyfriend!”
“Yeah?” Nat asked. “Where’s your girlfriend now? Oh, yeah, you don’t have one…”
Lo and behold, Y/N did have to practically drag her drunk husband to their bedroom.
Some of the Howlies who were more sober offered to stay back and help clean up. Even when Y/N turned them down, they ignored her and started getting to work. She wouldn’t be surprised if she came downstairs tomorrow morning to find her house cleaner than it was before the party.
Bucky’s arm was around Y/N’s shoulder as she navigated him through their home.
“You’re the best wife anyone in the world could ever have,” Bucky slurred to her.
Y/N laughed, “I am?”
“Of course.”
“OK. Well, your wife needs some help on your end to get you up these stairs.”
And to his credit, he made it up them without requiring much of Y/N’s help.
When they got to his bedroom, he flopped down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.
Y/N started unlacing his foots and taking off his jeans.
“Shirt to bed or no shirt?” She asked him.
“No shirt!”
She smiled at him. “Shorts or sleeping in just your briefs?”
“Briefs!”
Y/N nodded.
“Well, I was planning on ending the night with more fun. But I don’t think you’re exactly in the right state for that…” She teased him.
Bucky chuckled. “Probably for the best.”
He was currently fighting the spins. So, as much as he wanted to have sex with his beautiful and sexy wife, it probably wouldn’t end well for him.
Y/N went to take off her makeup, wash her face, and brush her teeth.
She found one of Bucky’s old t-shirts and threw it on, forgoing any type of short or pants.
“Come here, doll.” Bucky demanded, sounding far more sober than he should. 
“Are you gonna behave?” Y/N asked him as she pointed a finger at him.
“Yes, ma’am. I just want cuddles.” Then he smiled like a goof. “It’s my birthday, so I get what I want.”
Y/N chuckled and shook her head at him, but did as he requested and climbed into bed with him. Bucky instantly pulled her on top of his chest and wrapped his arms around her.
“Thank you for tonight,” he sighed and kissed the top of her head.
“I’m glad you had fun.”
“I love you, Y/N.” His voice proving that he was just moments away from passing out.
“Love you too, Buck.”
And barely 30 seconds later, Y/N’s ears were filled with Bucky’s drunken snores.

Todoroki x male reader- Caramel and Honey
Fluff + Au where todoroki rebelled and never became a hero 
Todoroki hummed to himself laying out the ingredients in front of him with his mixing bowl in the centre of the counter top, the mix of ingredients in organised lines from first to last except he was missing one ingredient.
It was soon to be your birthday, and todoroki being the gentleman as always was desperate to make you a cake as his local supplier. You deserved it for the kind smile you wore dropping of his orders at the back of the shop and hovering around for a few minutes to talk before disappearing into the wind again driving away in your van with (y/ln) Produce, stamped on the side of the van in big, black cursive.
He took over the shop from his mothers side of the family before she fell ill and had to go to hospital. not wanting anything to do with his disgusting father he chose to stay and manage the store of light pinks and pure whites. He heard your tires pulling up outside on the gravelly path and he opened the door for you to drop off your produce inside on the counters by the door.
"Hey Roki! How's it hanging, making anything special today?" you asked hauling a crate of freshly picked fruit for the season in and dropping it onto the steel top, wiggling under the weight and scooting forward a millimeter. "What do you consider special?" he asked bluntly helping you carry the boxes into the kitchen and put the items in their respective places.
Finally you brought in the cardboard box layered in bubble wrap filled with decorative jars of golden honey pockets of air suspended in the viscous liquid and Todoroki nodded happily in receiving everything he asked for. Sometimes you'd forget the blueberries, or the tea leaves or the bananas grown specially by your quirk. You grabbed a glass of honey flicking the lid open and dipped your finger into the glossy amber tasting it yourself.
"Something special? I would love a rustic honey cake. Just the way mum used to make it with our honey. Not the dumb store bought stuff, the stuff we make ourselves. With the bee's we lovingly care for, for a reason!" you shout but it was muffled by you sucking the honey off of your finger.
Todoroki wiped his chin and cleared his throat "you've got some... there's uh... like a little" you looked up at him and touched your chin the sticky threads of honey clinging to your hand. "Shit" you tutted and wiped it away with the heel of your hand getting that just as sticky as the rest of you. "Well this is embarrassing" you sighed and todoroki exhaled quickly, which was close enough to a laugh to make you smile. "Here" he ran a tea towel under the warm tap and wiped it over your chin and pressed it into your hand for you to clean your hands yourself.
He felt his own face light up red and grabbed a cup of blueberries in preparation for the blueberry muffins he would bake today and you blinked a few time's rebooting your brain after the short interaction making you flustered.
You wiped your hands down and neatly folded the towel over the side of the sink and shook your head clearing the busy, buzzing thoughts from your head and drew your eye's away from him focusing on the calendar hanging next to the wall. Delivery, nothing, delivery, nothing, delivery + (y/n) Birthday. You grinned and pointed to the red circle around the familiar number on the calendar and twisted your neck to watch him stir ingredients together into a pale yellow batter.
"You remember my birthday?" you quizzed and he nodded furiously beating the whisked eggs into the mixture and poured in the cup of indigo berries fresh from the bush. "Hey are you busy right now?" Todoroki asked moving on from the topic of your birthday and lifted his eyes from your strong arms he'd seen carry so many boxes of fruit, to your joy filled (e/c) orbs sparkling happily at the prospect of him. HIM. remembering your birthday.
"I can be not busy?" you raise your palms to the popcorn roof and flick out your phone calling a coworker. "Hey Bro, could you perchance come get the van from the Todoroki Bakery and deliver the rest of the products?" you ask and pushed the phone to your ear with your shoulder and mouthed 'frozen fruit' to todoroki and you quirked an eyebrow. He nodded to the bottom drawer.
"No I dropped a crate on my foot carrying the peaches into the shop and It hurts to walk on it I dunno how driving would go" you chuckle nervously and wink to todoroki who just looked back down at his muffins filling the white, paper cases not quite understanding. "No, I know it's so unlike me! But it's okay, Todoroki said he'd give me a lift home but can you just do the rest of the rounds?"
Your brother agreed and you said your bye's on the phone. "I now have the entire day off" you said proudly and leaned your elbows on the counter admiring todoroki's fluffy hair straying further from the style it was originally in while he pushed the baking tray into the oven. "Wait but I should check your foot if you hurt it" he said crouching down and pressing his cold hands against your ankle making you flinch "no I didn't really hurt my foot I just needed to get out of work" you chuckle.
"Oh okay. Will your dad believe that, aren't you supposed to be the big strong son?" Todoroki craned his neck up to look at you still resting with one knee on the floor and the other pulled up like he was going to propose. You lost yourself in your thoughts again imagining that instead of his hand on your foot he was holding out a small grey box with a gleaming band tucked into the cushion.
"Hey what the fuck is this?" your brother laughed at the scene in the kitchen and you whipped your head up to see him leaning against the door frame uncaringly. "Uhh todoroki was checking if my foot was swollen or anything. No evidence of broken bones yet! So you should just get going with the van here are my keys!!" you said hopping over like a professional actor and shoved the keys into his hand. "Mhm i'm sure that's what it was. OUTSIDE!" he shouted at you pulling you round the corner clipping your arm on the wooden pallets leaning against the wall out back scraping up inside your elbow.
"Hey what the hell, that hurt!" you shouted lightly tapping the bleeding scratched that didn't seem to want to stop bleeding. "Look I know you like that todoroki kid but you can't just skip work to spend the day with him!" your brother turned around and looked at your face, mouth agape and eye's furrowed into annoyance and he shrugged "what i'm just being hon-" "ARE YOU BLIND OR STUPID!?" you shouted back thrusting your profusely bleeding forearm in his face.
"Oh shit what! are you feeling okay?" he panicked suddenly drawing Todoroki's attention and he poked his head out the back door. Being the observant boy he was, his eyes went wide and he jogged over to where you were standing and wiped the blood away with the already honey covered tea towel but the crimson immediately started pouring out again. "He needs an ambulance" the dual haired baker tightly wrapped the tea towel around your arm which was quickly soaked in red.
You moaned in pain and annoyance feeling your head spin. "What could he have cut his arm on?" your brother asked and you held your hand out in front of his face snapping your fingers closed against your thumb shutting him up. "There's a huge fucking rusty nail... on the pallet you dragged me past you dickhead" you huffed. The ground span and swayed around you and the brightness in your vision was turned down so you could barely see the outlines of the boys surrounding you.
And then you were on the floor.
And then you were in the hospital. Staring at the white plaster ceiling at midnight with no one by your side. "Huh" you hummed and checked your phone hissing at the brightness lashing the dark hospital room.
todoroki was in the shop with a bowl and cake pan next to him. The jar of honey you scooped from open and his phone laying open waiting for your answer to his text.
You replied to the questions he asked and Todoroki's phone buzzed on the steel countertop and he perked up immediately reaching for the electronic, slowly running out of battery.
Roki 💖🍰

Tue 00:00
You chuckled to yourself at the sweet messages todoroki sent you over the course of the days and glanced at the clock. "I wonder if he's still awake" you croaked and wiped your eyes from sleep then yawned filling your waterline with unnecessary tears.
Bumblebee 🍯
Hey Roki. I'm up

Tue 4:13
"You better not be awake dumbass" you mumbled and turned over on your pillow burying your face into the uncomfortable pancake for your head.
Seen
Tue 4:15
The baker smiled and finally started working on his surprise for you chopping his toppings and thinly slicing/ throwing away his toasted pistachios and crunching on a few raisins while working.
At 2pm he walked in and went to visit you with his surprise balancing carefully in your hand. He carefully tiptoed to your bedside and pushed your side slightly. You snorted and rolled over, opening your eye's to an amused todoroki settling himself into the chair next to your bed. "Something smells great" you muttered pushing your face back into the pillow and smiling. "Thank you for visiting" you muffled and todoroki chuckled nodding.
"Happy birthday" he smiled pulling the foil off of the top of your surprise. You peaked your eyes open and sat up smiling brightly. "I didn't know how your mum made it but I made my own recipe" he scratched the back of his head and moved to sit next to you on the mattress. He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and kissed your cheek lightly before you could take off the handheld slice you were slowly lifting to your mouth.
"My heart feels weird around you" he sighed and thumped his forehead against your shoulder and you snickered, taking a soft bite of the sticky, nostalgic cake in your grasp. "I know. Thank you for the little updates by the way, very sweet of you" you emphasised the sweet as a pun on the honey cake but of course, it flew over todoroki's head. "But yeah. Thank you for the cake it's delicious" you complimented and leaned your head on his. "Can I go back to sleep now?" you joked and he smiled and pressed you down by your hard chest and lay on top of you. "Just don't sleep for 4 days again" he mumbled nestling into your t'shirt.
You stared down at the parting in his hair with huge, round eye's and put your hands on his back, grasping them together in a hug-ish type thing. "Okay"

WARNINGS swearing

text dividers from @writeyourmindaway !!
lowercase intended.
Tumblr media
“are you really watching this movie again?” you ask your older sister, camilla. she groans.
“yes! now move, it’s almost ricky’s scene.”
you roll your eyes and move out of her way, keeping your eyes on the screen. the movie was cheesy and you felt like you’ve seen it hundreds of times, since your sister was constantly watching it. she had an obsession with this guy— ricky bowen. he was an actor and a singer and any teenage girl you talk to loves him, but you didn’t really understand the hype. sure, he was attractive and talented but….
“i can’t wait to meet him, i’m sure he’s even nicer in person,” camilla gushed, staring at the screen.
“what do you mean meet him? we live in new york. he lives in california. not really someone you can just run into on the street.”
camilla rolled her eyes, not looking away from the screen. “we’re going to california in a couple weeks, dumbass. and i’m going to meet him, i just know it.”
“we’re going so we can visit grandma in glendale. you can’t just go running off to los angeles by yourself to somehow find him.”
“i’ll... figure it out. i’m nineteen anyways, i can do what i want. and glendale is really close to la, only like a 15 minute drive.”
“yeah, okay. good luck with that.” you watch another minute of the movie before turning away to go into the kitchen. you’re making yourself a snack when your mom comes in.
“hi hun,” she said, setting some groceries down on the counter.
“hi mom. what are these? i thought you went grocery shopping on saturday.”
“i did,” she said, starting to put a few groceries away. “this is stuff for california, i wanted to start shopping early. we also have to go find christmas gifts for your grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousin. easier if we get them here rather than there.”
“oh, aunt debbie is going? last time i texted ashlyn she said they weren’t going to make it out there this year,” ashlyn was your cousin, and she was 17, just like you. you and her had been close your whole life, but when your aunt, uncle and her moved to minnesota a few years ago, you drifted a bit. seeing her for holidays was one of your favorite things, you loved having your whole family together.
“yeah, well, apparently my mom has a new boyfriend and debbie decided she wanted to meet him so they made it work.”
you hum. “also heard that ashlyn’s still talking to the guy she met last summer in california.”
“that was probably also a deciding factor.” you and your mom laughed and you helped her put away the groceries.

ashlyn: plane just landed!! when r u getting here?
you: leaving in about an hour!! see u soon omg
ashlyn: CANT WAIT!!!!
you heart her message and slip your phone into your pocket, excusing yourself to go find some last minute snacks from the shops at the airport. you had been sitting next to camilla and she was blasting ricky’s music in her headphones. she was so obsessed with him it was tiring.
eventually, your flight was called and you boarded the plane. you texted ashlyn that you were boarding and she sent back a party emoji, then proceeded to tell you to hurry up. luckily, the plane ride was only around four hours, and you had a really nice playlist that was the perfect length. your current favorite artist was nini salazar-roberts, who had recently released new music. she also happened to be ricky bowen’s girlfriend, and camilla refused to listen to her for whatever reason. you couldn’t really care less, nini had good music.
‘drivers license’ began to play and you drifted off to sleep. you woke to camilla shaking you harshly.
“c’mon, we’re landed,” she said and you nodded, stretching. she stood up and left her seat, not even waiting for you to catch up. you scoff and grab your things before jogging to catch up to her and your parents who she had rushed to. you were already feeling the change of time zones, leaving new york at one then arriving in california at two after a four hour flight.... super trippy.
as your parents went off to rent a car, you and camilla sat by each other. she went on her phone and was scrolling through ricky’s instagram. you rolled your eyes.
“have a plan on how to meet him yet?” you ask. she sighs.
“sort of. he’s performing tonight. at nini’s birthday party. i just need to find a way into the party.”
“yeah, because a random girl is going to be allowed into a famous persons party.”
camilla scoffs. “you don’t know, they don’t always have great security. i just have to convince mom and dad to let me go.”
“go where?” your dad asked as the two of them return, car keys in hand. camilla’s eyes widened slightly.
“go to the different malls. and beaches. with (y/n) and ashlyn. girl time,” she lied quickly. your mom nodded.
“not a bad idea, spend some time with your family. we’ll think about it. grandma mentioned having a car for you to take.”
“awesome!” camilla squealed. she turned to you and made a ‘i-can’t-believe-they-just-agreed-to-that face’ and you laughed.
“c’mon girls. time to get going, everyone’s waiting for us.”
Tumblr media
“(y/n)!” ashlyn squealed, running out of your grandmas house as soon as you closed your car door. you grinned and ran towards her, hugging her tight.
“ashlyn i’ve missed you so much!”
“i’ve missed you! i have so much to tell you!”
you raised your eyebrow at her. “about the boy you’re talking to?”
she blushed and mumbled a maybe before your grandma came out of her house, her boyfriend following close behind. today was the first time anyone was meeting him, and you were pretty excited.
you hugged your grandma tight and she introduced you to her boyfriend, kevin. he greeted you all and although he seemed a bit awkward at first, he seemed like a good guy.
soon enough, you were in the room you were sharing with both camilla and ashlyn. camilla was not excited to hear that the three of you were sharing, but your grandma assured her that the room was more big enough for all of you, and it would be nice for you all to spend time together — get into the christmas spirit. camilla mumbled under her breath that that was bullshit, but your grandma didn’t seem to hear her.
as camilla was out in the kitchen with your family, you and ashlyn sat on your bed as she scrolled through social media.
“ashlyn! tell me about this boy you’re talking to!” you exclaimed suddenly. she laughed at your sudden outburst but put her phone away immediately and turned towards you with a big smile on her face.
“oh my gosh (y/n) he’s the best. we’ve been texting and facetiming everyday this year. i honestly can’t wait to see him later, i feel like i’ve been waiting years to finally see him again.”
you grinned. you don’t think you’d seen ashlyn this happy in a long time. “when are you seeing him tonight? what are you doing? do you know what you’re going to wear?”
“oh, jeez (y/n). one at a time,” she teased. “i’m meeting him at this club. it’s his best friends girlfriends birthday, and he invited me to her party. and i do have a few ideas but i wanted you to help me out.”
“absolutely i’ll help!! am i going to be able to meet him while we’re here?”
“yeah, i don’t see why not. he’s talking about going to vienna to go to the beach, i’m sure it’d be fine if you tagged along.”
“if i tag along and third wheel,” you both laughed. “kidding. i’d love to go!”
“good. because i wasn’t going to let you say no.” she stands up and stretched. “now help me figure out what to wear tonight.”
