Bday plan
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"James, I swear if you said anything to her I will hang you upside down from the astronomy tower for an entire day." Remus says in a particularly annoyed and contrite tone.
The young werewolf immediately felt guilty for talking that way to his friend, but at the same time he couldn't believe that James had almost screwed up the whole plan he had designed to put on your birthday party. He had been planning everything down to the last detail for a month now, to make sure everything is perfect on your big day, and he couldn't let a chatty deer ruin everything just because he's careless.
He sees pure fear in his friend's eyes after threatening him with one of his greatest fears: height.
"Sorry." Whispers James, as he backs away slowly to make room for his friend, seeing that he is stressed right now. "But I swear she didn't understand anything. It just slipped out that I had to see you to arrange something, and I said it was my gift to her." Potter continues, as he looks at Sirius, who up to this moment had been silent. Immediately his best friend understands the plea for help and nods.
"Yes, she didn't understand anything, we were very good at lying to her." Says the older Black, as Regulus runs a hand over his face, remembering the scene that took place a short time ago in the Great Hall. Indeed James and Sirius had been good at creating a believable excuse, but I young Black knows you better than you think, and he had seen in your eyes the seed of doubt, and he knows that this is not good at all. In your group of friends you are known for having a sixth sense and a spirit of observation so keen that sometimes it seems you can read people's minds and, even, the future. The very moment they've said their shit, Regulus knows that some strange mechanisms have been activated in your mind that have caused you to weigh all possible options, and so he knows they're screwed.
"No, you have to excuse me. I didn't think organizing a birthday was so hard, but at the same time I want everything to be perfect for her, because she deserves it." Remus confesses, as he holds his head in his hands, trying to relax.
"You know she's going to say you're overreacting anyway and she doesn't deserve it." Regulus comments, as he puts away the last things for the party. Your birthday would be celebrated this evening, after a romantic walk between you and your fiancé. Remus had managed to convince the prefect with the Ravenclaw night shift to turn a blind eye, and would thus take you in front of the Room of Requirement, afterwards around the park, and there all your friends would surprise you. It was a well-thought-out plan, and it still doesn't explain how you didn't actually almost come to find out only today and not weeks before.
"Which is silly after all he gives every day for us." Sirius continues, as James nods, placing balloons on the wall. "Our mother deserves a proper celebration." The oldest Black concludes, making all three other boys laugh. "Ever since you and Remus got together, the boys started calling you the 'mom' of the group, since they always teased Remus for being their dad in a way, since he was the most responsible of the four.
When they finish laughing they go back to work to sort out the last few things for the party, knowing that it is now only a short time away. Right now you are supposed to be with the girls, whose job it is to distract you from the absence of your friends and your boyfriend, but Remus cannot help but keep fidgeting both behind every little detail and out of fear that at any moment you might walk in the door and find out why he has not been very close to you these past few weeks, but after all, part of him knows it might be because of the gift he gave you.
Remus keeps moving like a damned soul without rest for a while before Regulus stands up and blocks him with a hand on his shoulder.
"Man, everything is perfect, why don't you just relax for a moment?" The youngest among them asks the werewolf, but immediately Regulus sees in his friend's eyes that there is something else and not just what they are preparing that is upsetting him.
"There is something that doesn't give you peace." Regulus comments, and Remus says nothing, and just looks at him. "It's not like it's the gift you gave her, is it?" The Slytherin continues, marveling at the Gryffindor in front of him.
"How did you do that?" Lupin asks, increasingly shocked by young Black's prowess, when the other in response merely laughs.
"You were playing with a little box earlier, and can one read the doubt and fear in your eyes?" Regulus explains, continuing to laugh, while Remus in response rolls his eyes and looks at the clock, seeing that it was almost time to see you, so he gets up.
"It's almost time for our walk. Take care guys, the others should be here soon. Don't screw up please." Lupin asks as he looks at his friends, who reassure him and give him pats of encouragement.
"Go and return victorious with the lady messer Lupin." Sirius says, giving him a sort of bow, just before Remus walks out the door. He turns and as a last thing gives him a middle finger, after promising never to let him see "The princess bride" again.
Remus could feel his own heart beating in his throat as he saw you coming downstairs in simple jeans and his favorite sweater. You are simply perfect in his eyes, and nothing could change his mind.
"Finally, it seems like I haven't seen you in forever. Where have you been until now?" You ask curiously, seeing him a little stressed. "Are you okay? You look a little pale honey."
Immediately his heart warms at hearing your concern, and he can't help but think that maybe those nutty friends of his are right to call you "mom," and gently the boy shakes his head.
"I'm fine honey, maybe I just need to get some air. Would you like to take a ride with me?" He asks, and he doesn't even have to wait a second for an answer, as like a hurricane you pounce on him, taking him under your arm and running toward the school grounds. You walk around the lawns for a while, laughing and joking like you haven't in a long time. Nothing could dent your mood, and nothing exists apart from each other at this moment.
From the outside, one can see obvious the love you feel for the other person, only from your eyes, more than from your gestures, which seem to sing the most beautiful love song ever heard.
Hours seem to pass, then Remus looks at his watch and realizes that you are running late, so with the excuse that he has to catch another prefect in one of the side corridors to get the keys to a closet for the next prank James and Sirius are planning, he takes you in front of the mystery room. He's never felt more flustered than he does right now, and he's doubtful whether to give you the gift now or later, when you, damned curious as usual, lean out and touch the door.
"How come the room of needs is visible?" Ask curiously, as you watch him break into a cold sweat and try to play the part of the one who hides nothing.
"I have no idea my dear, try opening it and see what's behind it." Try suggesting Remus, as he rests a hand on your shoulder to guide you into the darkness of the room that opens before you. A few seconds pass and just as you're wondering what the point of it all is, the lights come on and all your friends pop out from behind couches and armchairs, shouting who "surprise" who "happy birthday," but all with beaming smiles on their lips as they come to hug you.
You immediately feel tears in your eyes, which you let run, because of the happiness and excitement they made you feel seeing so many people gathered to celebrate you.
Once you've greeted everyone you turn to Remus, who looks at you smiling, his hands behind his back.
"Did you arrange everything?" You ask in amazement as you look around and try to memorize every single detail of everything around you. "You didn't have to-"
"Yes I had to. You deserve this and much more than I can give you, you deserve the world, indeed the universe. And it wasn't just me, everyone helped me in some way." He interrupts you, as he circles your shoulders with one arm, and you hold him even tighter to you, squeezing his waist. "I love you, and all I want to do is remind you of that every day, but today especially, after all it's your day, and we all came here just for you, because we all love you, me more than all of them." He continues, resting his forehead on yours. Then he freezes for a moment, right for a few seconds and pulls out a box from his pants pocket.
"I want to give you my present now, because I want you to think about it." He says and you, confused for the umpteenth time this evening, wipe away the last of your tears and then pick up the box he is handing you. It is a black velvet box, and when you open it you see a pair of keys. You look up not understanding what they were, so your boyfriend explains.
"These are the keys to an apartment in Edinburgh, in your favorite area, which I may or may not have asked an old family friend to rent to me and my girlfriend, once I finished school, if she wanted to move in with me. What do you say, what will she decide?" He asks as he strokes your face and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. You can't help but cry again before you go back to hugging him, just enough to take his breath away, your arms wrapped around his neck.
"I don't even have to think about it, the answer is obviously yes idiot." You whisper between the kisses you leave all along his face, making him laugh, while a few tears escape him as well. "You know you're pretty dumb for the smartest guy I know, it was obvious my answer was yes. And me thinking for a moment today that you had found a new girlfriend and were going to break up with me, damn how stupid I am."
Both of you laugh, still clasped in each other's arms, enjoying that closeness you had missed so much.
"I love you more than my own life, how could I ever look for another girl, when I have the most perfect girl that exists in the whole universe?" Remmy says in a whisper in your ear.
"I love you too Lupin, but you don't have to suck up, look you've already won your reward tonight." You counter by winking at him and he jokes by raising his eyebrows and whispering "I won, let's hurry up and leave this party then," making you laugh, until that sweet moment is interrupted as usual by the grace of Sirius Mr.Elegance of the Year Black.
"Do you want to be part of the party too, or are you going to be lovebirds the whole party?" He asks to throw a handful of confetti at you.
"I guess your reward will have to wait for Lupin." You say, as you hear him laugh, and together you go to enjoy this party with your friends, while in your mind already what will happen tonight in your own personal after party.

singledad!spencer x reader
a/n: no use of y/n, no body descriptions, a couple os swear words, pregnancy. english >is not< my first language. enjoy!

Tumblr media
One.
Spencer became a dad at a really young age. He was twenty one when his daughter, Estelle, was born. Her biological mom left and since this day he was a single father and the best he could ever be. When he entered the BAU, she was three and he wasn’t alone anymore. Everyone helped him besides he insisted it was fine. Penelope was the first one to put Este under her wings and took her everywhere. During the trips he trusted his baby’s life with the blonde woman and every time was the best decision.
Things changed when they welcomed you to the team. Emily and you were greeted at the same time but you caught his eye. Not because you have the same age but how his daughter was obsessed with you. She couldn’t hear your voice and see your face that it was over to everybody. You used to joke that if she went missing it was her fault. A few times Spencer forgot that she was not your real kid and his mind played tricks on him. 
‘’Reid, I’m taking your daughter home with me. You’re never seeing her again, just like Tangled.’’ You blew him a kiss and the sound of Estelle’s laugh made everyone smile. ‘’I am the funniest person you know, hm? But I’m serious, if you need some time to sleep, read or do whatever I can watch her. The girls are coming over tonight and we love to have Ellie around.’’ 
‘Ellie’’ was the nickname you gave her. The only one that called her like that. He loved how you created such a beautiful bond and he can count on you all the time, even when he doesn’t have to say a word in moments like this. Like a family. 
‘’It’s alright, I need to take her bag in the car but you can take her. Thank you, I really need to sleep.’’ He smiles at your direction, taking his kid again. 
‘’We are leaving at five, when she’s ready you know where to find me.’’ You come closer to him, holding the little girl's hand. ‘’Are you ready to your first girls night, Ellie?’’
A not normal but really close family and he was so grateful for the love they were receiving from everybody, especially you.
Two.
Estelle was growing really fast with the most normal childhood Spencer guaranteed. He made sure she had friends, a nice school, a normal house with a princess room. All the things he didn’t have, he guaranteed she had. She understands sometimes daddy was away for work but auntie Penny was taking good care of her and making a lot of tea parties with her dolls. 
She was ten at the time and still obsessed with you. You were her role model of a woman. Smart, pretty, funny and knew her favorite books by heart. She almost considered you as a mother though it was a secret she kept in her heart. Spencer was enamored by how you two treated each other with love and respect.
The team just got back from a case when Spencer heard Estelle’s giggles from something Penelope said and smiled. He stayed away for ten days but it feels like an eternity, he missed waking up with her shaking him and asking for pancakes, he missed her reading her books for him and definitely missed her rambling nonstop over things she learned at school, saw during the day and the scenarios her pretty head was creating. God, he was such a sucker for his baby. 
‘’Daddy!’’ All he saw was a cute girl running with a pink fluffy skirt, a purple shirt under a jeans jacket and rainy unicorn boots. 
‘’My baby! How are you? I missed you so much. I brought you a gift.’’ He took her in his arms, giving her a kiss on the cheek. 
‘’A snowglobe?’’ He nods laughing at her reaction. ‘’I miss you daddy. I have so many things to tell you I wrote all in my diary so I won’t forget.’’ She was proud of her actions and so was Spencer. 
It took her a few seconds to finally snap and look around for you. The desperation of not finding you was real for a moment, until she saw you at your desk. The brightest smile appeared on her face when you waved and she runned into your direction. 
‘’I finally found you! I miss you, ya know? I asked aunty Penny to help me get you a gift for your birthday and I can’t wait until next week, so here it is.’’ She grabs the little sparkling bag with Penelope and gives it to you. 
When you opened the bag there was a picture of you two together at her birthday party from last year. She was smiling while you laughed at something you don’t remember now. Your smile got bigger and you just hugged her. 
‘’I love it so much! I’ll put it in my desk so I always remember you.’’ The girl shakes her head ‘helping you put the picture with the most proud feeling ever. 
Spencer was watching everything from his desk. A warm feeling radiating from his heart, a cozy and sweet feeling of things right. 
‘’You should ask her out, pretty boy. This whole pinning thing is driving me insane and I’ll proudly watch her for you.’’ Derek teased him. 
‘’Yeah, give me a second.’’ The man walked towards you wearing a smirk you knew really well.
‘’Pick me up tomorrow at seven, pretty boy.’’ He doesn’t say a word but his heart has a lot to say. 
Three.
You and Spencer were dating for almost a year, things happened naturally and lightly. Estelle was happier that her two favorite people were dating, every sleepover was a party and both of you couldn’t be more satisfied. 
It was the first time in months that the BAU got a case in Virginia, which was good but bad cause it was closer to home. You and Emily spare for a couple of seconds to get into the precinct when you heard the shot but your first instinct was to look at what was burning. There was a lot of blood coming from your stomach. You look around to notice Emily holding you, noticing the commotion around the building. 
‘’Honey, keep your eyes open. Look at me.’’ Emily was trying to not let you close your eyes. ‘’Tell me a secret, anything, but don’t close your eyes.’’ 
‘’You know Spencer invited me to live with him and I sent him straight to hell.’’ You sight heavily. ‘’I want to say yes, I need to.’’ 
‘’You will, trust me. I’ll make sure you do.’’ You could hear his voice in the back, screaming something unintelligible for your conscience. ‘’Keep you eyes open, for God's sake!’’ 
Everything went blank for a while. You only remember waking up in a hospital bed. Penelope was sleeping next to Spencer on the couch. Your head was dizzy and your body hurt a lot. You took a deep breath before Spencer jumped next to you. 
‘’Hey you.’’ You spoke softly, holding his hand. 
‘’How are you feeling?’’ He strokes your cheek gently. 
‘’Sleepy and dizzy. How long?’’ He analyzed your microexpressions before answering. ‘’Stop profiling me, Spencer.’’ 
‘’Three days. You were shot in the stomach, lost a lot of blood and went to surgery. You’re awake now and definitely moving with me.’’ He jokes and you smile. 
‘’You’re awake! Finally! I love you so much. I’ll let them know.’’ Penelope seemed so happy when she left, leaving you two alone. 
‘’Spencer, if you want to propose right now I will dump you right now. I swear!’’ 
‘’I won’t! I wasn’t even thinking about it until you mentioned.’’ He said leaning over to give you a soft kiss. ‘’You don’t need a ring to be part of my dysfunctional family. By the way, Estelle is really excited for you to move with us, she was helping me with your office.’’ 
‘’I get an office?’’ You raised your brows and laughed. 
‘’If you want to work in her room full of glitter and toys that’s your call.’’
‘’I wouldn’t mind at all.’’
His damn heart missed a beat when you held his hand and closed your eyes again before going back to sleep. 
Four.
Spencer was nervous, he was terrified actually. It took him six months to propose to you in the way he wanted and it didn’t work. His plan was to take you to the vineyard you wanted to go to for months but the day he made reservations it rained so much there was no way you could go. You stayed home instead. Watching some movies with Estelle, eating popcorn and laughing at stupid things. Steve was a genius but everytime he was close to you he turned into the dumbest person alive. 
Estelle knew he was about to propose because she helped him find the ring and she gave so many ideas. Indeed she suggested he should do it when she wasn’t expecting, and he did. He put the ring out of his cardigan pocket and watched your reaction. You barely missed it focusing on Harry Potter but when you look twice there was it. The fucking ring. 
‘’Spencer what the fuck!’’ You covered your mouth with watery eyes. 
‘’Marry me.’’ His heart was so fast he swore he was close to having a heart attack. ‘’You are part of my life, part of this family and I don’t think I can live without you in my days. I love you. I open my heart for you in the same way you opened your for us. You accept me. love me. I can’t promise you white picket fences but I can promise you this, moments like this. I give you my sunshine, my best but the rain it’s always gonna come if you stand with me. People think love’s for show but I will die for you in secret. Marry me, so you can be forever mine and I can be forever yours.’’
‘’Yes. I do. Oh my God!’’ The tears streaming down your face made him giggles watching you trying to stay calm. ‘’I love you. A lot.’’ 
‘’Did she say yes?’’ You two heard Ellie’s voice and received her in the hug. ‘’Welcome to the family.’’
Five.
Spencer got home without making a lot of noise for the time. The clock marks two in the morning. The last thing he expected to see was his wife and his daughter on the couch talking. The TV was on in the soft volume but he could perfectly recite the conversation by ear.
‘’I can’t wait for you to get out of there. We have a few years of difference? Sure, but I know all the goods to use on dad.’’ Estelle was talking with the same voice she used to talk to her dad when she was little. ‘’Mom is harder, but dad is so much easier to convince.’’
‘’You’re gonna be in so much trouble if he hear us, Ellie.’’ You spoke, stroking the teens' hair. 
It took you and Spencer almost five years to have a baby. You felt like this family missed something else and the baby was your answer. Everyone was excited about it. You were seven months pregnant at this time. Sleeping is harder when you are bigger than ever, most nights were like this. You usually lay in her bed and keep talking until fall asleep or have to pee again. 
‘’Why I wasn’t invited to this party?’’ Spencer showed up holding his coat and bag. 
‘’Only pregnant woman and teenage girl are invited to insomnia party, sorry babe.’’ You teased him.
He dropped his stuff and sat between you and Este’s. He leans over to give you a kiss and a hug on the teenager. He placed a hand on your swollen belly before cleaning his throat. 
‘’This is your dad, hear me out, no one is going to use the goods on me. In this family the only one that can escape from things is the cat.’’ You three let out a loud laugh. ‘’Maybe mom because we love her. By the way, don’t let your sister got into your head she’s crazy sometimes.’’ 
‘’Spencer Reid, don’t play with the daughter you raised.’’ 
‘’By the way, you should let our mom stay more than thirty minutes without having to pee. I used to love sleeping with her but she wake up too much.’’ Estelle places her hand closer to her dad. 
Spencer spent hours just listening to you two interact, like mother and daughter. Laughing, sharing secrets and jokes, cooking and singing songs. Some of the moments just make sense in the bubble you create and make him happy. 
‘’Fine handsome, time to help me go to bed. You put this baby on me now you help. I want to be able to sleep more than you tonight.’’ You grab his arm, trying to stand up. ‘’I love this but I can’t wait to this baby pop out of me.’’
‘’I like your pregnant personality. You’re sassy and no one can say anything to you because you have a gun. Besides, you’re prettier.’’ You kiss your daughter's forehead before walking upstairs. 
‘’I’m always pretty and no, I have three guns.’’ The gasp she let out made you giggle. 
Spencer’s hand was in your lower back slowly walking with you making sure you’re safe. 
‘’I love you and our little family that I steal from you.’’ 
‘’Wanna know a secret?’’ You nod. ‘’It was already your family since day one.’’

"Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch!" I hear my brother's voice shout from the other room, shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the living room. Where I'm currently lounging on the couch and my mom in her rocking chair with our cat Mews curled up on her lap.
A police chase rocked downtown Pittsburgh earlier this evening...
Dustin obnoxiously comes rushing into the living room, flipping up the yellow couch cushions.
"Another stupid penny," He mumbles to himself tossing the rusted piece of copper that was in his hand.
"Dusty, watch it!" Our mom calls out, holding our cat tight, "You almost hit Mews."
"And your sister." I grumble, from my spot.
"Can I check your cushions?" Dustin asks me desperately so I decide to play with him.
"No."
"Move." Dustin demands, attempting to push me off the couch.
"Jeez, it was a joke. I'm going, I'm going." I mutter before getting up letting Dustin check under the couch cushion I was seated on, "What are you even doing?"
Dustin doesn't respond but then I remember. He's meeting the party at the arcade and I have to go with him.
I let out an exasperated groan.
"Can I please check under your cushions?" Dustin asks our mother with a pleading look on his face.
"Dusty."
"Mom, please..." Dustin begs, "It's an emergency."
"Ughh." My mom whines before standing up with Mews in her arms.
"Ughhhh." Dustin makes the same petty noise back at her.
"Dustin, I have some quarters I can give you." I roll my eyes at my family's antics as they carry on.
I make my way to my room, quickly grabbing a couple quarters from my piggy bank. Before returning to the living room, where Dustin has already collected two more.
"Honey, you're going with your brother, right?" My mom asks from her chair, which she must've returned to.
"Yeah." I sigh, still standing in the middle of the hallway, fantasizing about a night curled up in bed with a good book or magazine.
But that wasn't going to happen.
"(Y/n)? You coming?" Dustin waves his hand frantically in front of my face, "Or are you busy dreaming about Steve?" He comments with a smirk before walking towards his room.
"Oh shut up." I say with the roll of my eyes and another quiet sigh as I follow my brother
Dustin had been bothering me constantly ever since he found out about the necklace that I wear around everywhere is what Steve gave me for Christmas. It feels like no matter what I'm doing, there's always a question or stupid comment about Steve and our relationship. Dustin just can't quite wrap his head around the fact that Steve and I are best friends and nothing more. Especially since he's still dating Nancy.
"What's that?" Dustin asks, pointing at what I think is something behind me.
I whip my head around trying to find the thing that my brother is pointing at.
"No, what's this?" Dustin asks again, pointing at my neck.
"Uh... Just a gift." I say, not wanting to give away the original buyer of the necklace.
"From Steve?" Dustin asks, with a smug look on his face.
"No...?" I respond, covering my neck, where the necklace rests.
"It so is." Dustin says happily, "You so love him and he so loves you."
I smile at my brother's excitement, but it quickly falters, "We're just friends."
"Sure."
Dustin sits down on his bed and I sit next to him as he grabs his walkie-talkie. With his other hand, he sticks it in my face, awaiting the quarters that I'm holding in my hand. I groan and then drop them into his hand before leaning back on the bed.
"You better pay me back," I say sending Dustin a pointed look.
"I'm not making any promises." Dustin smiles before pressing the talk button on his radio. "Lucas, you copy? I've got four quarters. What's your haul?"
"Take your puny haul and multiply it by five." I hear Lucas's scratchy voice through the radio.
"How?" Dustin replies shocked, as I stare at him with wide eyes.
"While you were scrounging around like a homeless bum, I mowed Old Man Humphrey's lawn." Lucas replies with pride.
"Damn." I whisper. "Old Man Humphrey's got the bucks."
"Old Man Humphrey's got that kind of cash?" My brother says into the walkie-talkie.
"Just call Mike already." Lucas says, clearly irritated.
"You call Mike." Dustin retorts.
"I have to go take a shower from doing real work, like a man." Lucas explains, "Over and out."
My brother lets out a loud groan and I roll my eyes, "Maybe you should start doing real work, like a man." I copy Lucas's words, taunting my brother.
Dustin just sticks his tongue out at me before changing the channel and calling Mike.
"Mike, do you copy?" Dustin says into the mic, "Mike, do you copy?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I copy." We hear Mike through an unexpected channel.
"What the hell are you doing on this channel?" Dustin asks, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"Nothing." Mike responds a little too quickly.
"Well, Lucas and I have six bucks total," My brother explains over the radio, "What's your haul?" Dustin asks.
"Shit, I don't know yet." Mike replies frantically.
"What do you mean you don't know yet?" Dustin asks.
"Hold on. Call Will." That's all we hear from Mike until the line goes dead.
|☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆|
The four of us pull up to the bustling arcade, placing our bikes in the designated bike rack. As we do so, we hear a familiar car honk and turn to see Will seated in the passenger seat of the Byer's green car. The slight of him causes us all to smile brightly and wave with excitement.
"Hey!" We exclaim in unison.
After a few minutes of Joyce talking to her son, he finally emerges from the car, joining us as we enter the arcade. I linger by the bikes, noticing the worried expression on Joyce's face as she watches the boys rush ahead with excitement evident on their faces. I decide to walk up to the passenger window before I head in after the boys.
"Hey, Joyce." I say softly through the window, "Don't worry, Will is gonna be just fine."
"I know he is," She smiles, "Because he has you."
"Yeah..." I whisper, remembering when I wasn't there when Will first disappeared.
"Now go in there and have fun, Honey." Joyce says, bringing me back to the present moment.
I nod slowly and give her a warm smile.
"Bye, Joyce." I send her a quick wave as I walk away toward the arcade doors.
As I walk into the arcade I search around before my eyes catch the boys all surrounding around a game. I make my way towards them, noticing my brother is the one playing.
To slay the dragon, use the magic sword.
A blonde girl, dressed in a skimpy one piece outfit appears in the screen, providing my brother with instructions on how to win the game.
"Oh, jesus," Dustin says staring at the screen in front of him, "I'm in uncharted territory here, guys."
"Down, down down!" The three boys exclaim and my brother frantically shifts the joystick down.
"I'm going, I'm going!" My brother replies.
The boys cheer and yell frantically as my brother plays the game, quickly pressing the controls to make his character move around. The blonde in the skimpy outfit explains a few phrases, her voice sweet and seductive as she bites her nails. Dustin attempts to beat Lucas's high score as his thumbs work swiftly over the joystick and button.
I scene in front of me is both exciting and tense.
"Shut up, shut up," Dustin yells at his friends so that he can focus, "Shut up!”
Just as my brother seems on the verge of beating Lucas's high score, the character on the screen suddenly gets burned up by the flames of the dragon, signaling game over for my brother. The boys let out yells of surprise and frustration as they watch the scene play out.
"No, no, no!" Dustin exclaims, "No, no, no! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!" My brother continues throwing insults at the game while hitting the machine.
"You're not nimble enough," Lucas comments placing his hand on Dustin's shoulder, "But you'll get there one day."
"But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine." Lucas giggles happily and I roll my eyes.
"Whatever. I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig Dug." Dustin says with a sigh.
"You sure about that?" Keith's voice suddenly pops up behind us and we all turn our heads, shocked.
"Sure about what?" My brother asks, concerned.
Keith just smiles a wicked grin before popping another cheeto into his mouth, chewing unnecessarily loud.
"You're kidding. No, no, no." Dustin shoves his way through the arcade, desperate to find out if he's still got the top scores, "Move. Move! No, no, no, no, no. Hey! No! Noooo!" Dustin exclaims.
We finally approach the game only to notice that someone else has broken Dustin's previous records. The high score is displayed prominently on the screen, "Mad Max" reading above "Dustin", causing a stir amongst the boys.
"751,300 points?!" Will exclaims, sending the party wide eyes.
"That's impossible!" Mike says, leaning over Will's shoulder.
"Who is Mad Max?" Dustin says to Keith who appeared out of nowhere and has put, yet another cheeto into his mouth.
"Better than you." Keith comments plainly and I let out a loud snort.
Dustin throws up his middle finger.
"Is it you?" Will asks, pointing at the boy I go to high school with.
He scoffs.
"You know I despise Dig Dug." Keith replies crunching on another cheeto.
"Then who is it?" Lucas asks, confused.
"Yeah, spill it Keith!" My brother exclaims, desperate to know who could possibly be better than him.
"You want information," Keith responds with a raised brow, "Then I need something in return." He sends me a smirk as he runs his eyes up and down my figure.
I shudder slightly and take a couple steps back uncomfortable as all the boys turn their heads in my direction.
"Oh, no. No, no, no." Dustin says holding his hands up, waving them around frantically, "No way, not my sister."
"(Y/n), come on," Lucas pleads, placing his hands together in a begging motion, "It's just one date."
"I'm sorry, Keith." I give the boy in front of my sympathetic eyes, "I can't..."
"Yeah, 'cause your heart already belongs to Steve." Dustin mumbles, almost to the point that we couldn't hear him, but we could.
"Steve, as in Steve Harrington?" Keith glances at me with wide eyes, "That douchebag?"
"Dustin." I hiss, smacking his shoulder slightly turning turning back to Keith with a fake smile, "No, no, definitely not Steve Harrington, he's dating Mike's sister over here." I say not so convincingly before grabbing Mike's shoulder bringing him in front of me.
The boys then turn to glance at Mike with pointed looks.
"No, nope, I'm not prostituting my sister, either." Mike says, putting his hands up in defense.
"But it's for a good cause." Lucas explains using hand gestures.
"No, don't get him the date. You know what? He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to our whole families." Dustin says pointing at Keith's face.
"Dustin!" I hiss again, before mouthing a quick "sorry" to Keith for my brother's rude actions.
"Acne isn't a rash and it isn't contagious, you prepubescent wastoid." Keith retorts, clearly offended.
"Oh I'm a wastoid?" Dustin questions rhetorically, "(Y/n) would never go on a date with you. She has standards."
"Oh? Like, Steve Harrington?" Keith crosses his arms glancing at me with narrowed eyes.
"Okay, guys, lets chill." I say before noticing that Will is gone.
A wave of panic washes over me when I realize that Joyce trusted me to keep him safe. I quickly glance around the arcade, frantically searching for Will. My eyes landing on him just outside the door, eyes fixated on the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
I breathe out a sigh of relief as I rush out the door, gently grabbing his shoulder as he jolts back to reality, breathing heavily.
"Hey, Will," I say softly as he turns to look at me, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just..." Will starts turning back towards the sky, staring at it worriedly, "I needed some air." He finishes simply.
"Well, I think you're up for Dig Dug." I say with a smile, "Let's take that top score back, huh?" I wrap my arms around his shoulders and he grins as we make our way back into the arcade.
The party and I spend a good chunk of time at the arcade, playing game after game, before running out of quarters. I wave at Joyce, who picks up Will, and she returns my smile before they drive off. I pick up my bike from the bike rank, alongside the other three boys before we all ride home. The darkness of the night filling my senses as I gaze at the stars.
|☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆|
When I arrive home, I slowly walk into my room, my heart racing as I sense something is off. I cautiously look around, taking in every detail of the space. I notice my open curtains and then, all of the sudden, it clicks.
Of course.
I approach my closet with a pointed look on my face.
"Steve." I say, placing my hands on my hips, "I know you're in there."
The closet door swings open and I'm met with a sheepishly grinning Steve.
"Hey."
"Hi," I reply before just staring at him.
"Why're you looking at me like that?" Steve asks, tilting his head to one side as he steps out of my closet.
"Because you're such an idiot."
"Thanks." Steve replies with a smirk before flopping down onto my bed, "You're not so bad yourself, Henderson"
I lay back onto the bed next to him, letting out a content sigh as I gently lean my head against my pillow. Turning my head to face Steve, I notice him to do the same, after sensing my movement. Our bodies are close in proximity, a hint of a smile forming on my lips as we gaze into each other's eyes.
"How are you?" Steve whispers, his eyes shining brightly in the soft light. I can't help but feel a rush of butterflies in my stomach.
What the hell is happening?
"Is that the only reason you came over, Harrington?" I ask with a gentle smile, as I look into those pretty brown eyes of his, "To ask how I'm doing?"
"Of course not." Steve replies, "I was just wondering." He says, lightly tucking a piece of hair behind my ear as we lay on our sides on my bed together. Our bodies close, and I can feel his breath on my neck, the warmth sending a shiver down my spine.
"Good." I reply to his previous question as Steve's eyes trail down my face, to my nose, my lips, all the way down to where the necklace he got me hangs around my neck.
"Huh?" He asks, eyes snapping back up to my own.
"I'm doing good." I say again.
"Oh. That's..." Steve gets distracted again, "Good. That's good." He finally manages to get out.
"Yeah."
Our eyes meet once more, the longing gaze fixed on one another. I watch the quickened movement of his chest, rising and falling. As I lean in, the moment is filled with emotion and desire. I'm filled with a rush of feelings, my breath catching in my throat as I lean closer still, my lips only inches away from his own.
Suddenly, there's a loud knock on my bedroom door, causing Steve and I to jump. I gasp and Steve instantly wraps his arm around my waist to keep me protected. We both hold our breath, our hearts racing as we stare at the door.
"(Y/n)?" I hear Dustin say from the other side, "Who are you talking to?"
"No one!" I whisper-yell to my brother, my voice urgent and strained. I shove Steve off of me accidentally causing him to fall off the bed. He lets out a grunt as he hits the floor with a thump. I glance back towards the boy, who quickly rolls under my bed, his eyes wide and full of worry. I bite my lip in frustration, wishing for this moment to be over.
"What was that?"
I open my door a couple inches, to be met with a confused looking Dustin.
"No one. Nothing. What was the question?" I ramble, "Isn't it your bedtime? Good night, Dust, love ya." I say quickly.
"Wh—" before Dustin can finish I shut the door in his face.
I turn with a relieved sigh.
"You can come out now." I whisper to Steve who is still laying underneath my bed.
Steve attempts to pull himself out, but he lifts his head a little too soon. Which causes another loud thump to echo through the small space. I cringe and face palm myself, not able to believe that we can be so loud.
"Ow, shit."
"Jesus, Steve," I say, helping him out from underneath the bed. "Be more careful."
"Thanks." Steve says, rubbing the back of his neck, when to finally gets back on his feet and I let go of his arms.
"Yeah."
"I guess I should go." Steve says hesitantly.
Or you could stay.
"That's probably a good idea." I respond quietly, looking towards the ground.
Steve silently nods, the moonlight from my window casting a faint glow over his features. In a swift motion, he climbs out of my window and disappears into the cover of the night. Leaving me alone, with a tingle of excitement and uncertainty.
I lean back against my pillow, sighing, as I think about Steve and the growing feelings I shouldn't have.

Hello, I have an idea for an Reader and Hangman or rooster where the reader had a fling with them and got pregnant very young, so she moves away to get away from everything until her child is a teenager and finally gets to meet their dad under some weird circumstances where the reader and rooster or hangman runs into them at the hard deck or somewhere and they try to reconnect with reader
one coffee.
jake ‘hangman’ seresin x reader.
Tumblr media
→ a/n: thank you so much for this idea my dear! i feel like this fits hangman more (stupid pretty fuck boy). this is part of my 2k celly! find the other gifts here and main masterlist can be found here! 💌
→ c/w: swearing and fluff.
Not every mom had a friend who was also in the Navy, but it just so happened your friend who you met when your kids were in nursery together, was now stationed at Top Gun and training new recruits. You were in town visiting her and her new home. Both of your kids were the same age and they couldn’t wait to see each other again after being best friends in school for so long.
She told you to meet you at a bar called ‘The Hard Deck’. She was friends with the owner and it meant you could get free drinks and free food for your two teenager daughters.
You knew Jake was a pilot himself when he got you pregnant, but you never thought in your wildest dreams he would be at fucking Top Gun. Although, he did always say “I promise I’ll make this work. I’ll work hard for you and the baby.” At the time you just couldn’t believe him after he missed pregnancy scans and stopped returning your calls altogether.
Your heart felt like it was going to jump out of your throat and onto the floor when you saw him across the bar. It was like a scene from a movie the way your eyes connected and you saw your entire time together flash before your very eyes. He still looked exactly the same and he thought the same about you. In fact, that was the first comment he made when he came over.
“You look as gorgeous as the day I first saw you.” You rolled your eyes and scowled at the six foot blonde in front of you.
“Jake.” You puffed out your chest. “Do you still use those lines on every other pretty woman in here?”
He grinned his infamous cocky smile that made you fall so hard for him originally and you felt your heart strings tug slightly. Curse his stupidly pretty face.
“Only you, Doll.”
That name. Oh that name. He still remembers how weak that nickname made you the first time he said it to you in the car parking lot on your first date. Slowly you saw the cogs turning in his brain. If you were here, then that must mean—
“Mom!” The, not so small anymore, teenage girl came up to your side. “Please can we get a drink?” She leaned up against the bar and looked up at you.
Jake could see his own eyes staring up at you pleadingly.
“Sure, sweetie. I’ll get your favourite. Let me just finish up here.” Jake caught her eye just before she went back to her table and you saw his eyes turn glassy.
“She looks…” He couldn’t finish his sentence. It felt like his throat was restricting tighter and tighter.
“Exactly like you. Yeah I know. It was nice to see you Jake.” You turned on your heel to carry both of your drinks in your hands with your purse tucked under your arm.
“Wait.” You heard Jake call out and grab onto the back of your arm making you spill the liquid over the brim of the glass. You glared back at him and flared your nostrils.
“Jake if you think for one sec—” You started to throw everything in your arsenal at him, but Jake cut you off with a soft kiss placed gently on your lips. The kind that made your spine tingle and you were a fool to think it wouldn’t make you falter.
“Please. Fuck, I don’t even know why you’re here, but if you’re staying please just let me have one coffee with you. One coffee with her.” He glanced over your shoulder to the table she was idly sat on, none the wiser that her father was mere meters away from her. You gritted your teeth and inhaled all the air you could muster as to not blow your lid right now at him.
“One coffee. That’s it.” He let go of your arm and the corner of his lips turned up into a slight smile.
“Thank you.” He gave you his number with shaky hands to agree a time and a place.
“Still a pilot then?” You just wanted to sanity check that this wasn’t a totally stupid idea.
“Yeah. Top Gun. Always told you I’d make it.” He threw a slick wink your way and you narrowed your eyes back at him, trying to hide the stupid amount of blush that was creeping up your cheeks.
“See you soon, Jakey.” When you called him the nickname you gave him all those years ago, he felt the hair stand up on the back of his neck and a warmth spread through his chest.

A Gen V Christmas | headcanons
pairings: limoreau, cate x luke, sam x emma
tw: mentions of christmas (it's not religious it's more the significance of the holiday and stuff), slight mentions of trauma?? (very minor), nothing much, christmas fic in january ?!?!, swearing
description: it's christmas eve and a bunch of superpowered college students have the house to themselves.
a/n: so... sry i didn't get to this sooner lol, i love this fic idea and this was sort of rushed but i hope you still enjoy it anon! i have kind of a horrible habit of not checking my requests or just forgetting about them until weeks later so once again sorry.
Tumblr media
Christmas was going to be a whole affair that year. Luke and Sam’s parents were going to some fancy retreat in Switzerland so they had let the kids host a little get together. Luke could clearly remember his parents warning him it was for close friends ONLY, they didn’t want to find their house trashed by a bunch of supe college students.
And so Luke and Sam decided to only invite the gang and their respective partners. In total there were seven people bustling around the house on Christmas Eve. 
Emma was trying and failing to assemble a gingerbread house while she ordered Sam around to: “GET ME MORE ICING. NO NOT THAT COLOR. SHIT SHIT SHIT.”
Cate was lounging on the couch with her feet on Luke’s lap as she curated the perfect holiday playlist, a mix of classics and some newer stuff that wasn’t absolute shit. 
Luke was busy watching a football game but he gave suggestions to Cate every once and a while when he remembered a particularly good Christmas song.
Andre had been left in charge of the cooking, a trait that he had inherited from his mom. As Emma panicked with the gingerbread house Andre tried to hide a smile as he scrolled through TikTok, waiting for the chicken to roast.
Jordan and Marie were busy trying to figure out the best way to stack the Christmas presents, their cups of steaming hot chocolate had cooled significantly by the time they had finished making the perfect pyramid of presents.
Some of them had grown up with better holidays than others but they were all trying to do their part to make this one the best for people like Cate and Marie who barely got to experience any of it after they got their powers.
The rest of Christmas Eve afternoon was spent with a lot more yelling (Emma), wrenching the remote away from Luke (Jordan, they didn’t particularly love watching American football on Christmas Eve) and the smell of a perfect roast wafting through the house (Andre had a gift).
When midnight started to approach, Cate got everyone to hang up their stockings on the strangely large mantelpiece that the Riordan house contained. 
Sam got everyone to open up the Santa Tracker with him (it was a tradition).
Since Sam got to do his tradition, Jordan rounded everyone up around the tv to watch ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’.
Emma somehow managed to get the gingerbread house basically structurally sound by the time everyone headed to their respective bedrooms. It was even standing the next morning as everyone gathered around the tree with cups of coffee. That was the real Christmas miracle.

"Oh my God I can't believe you still got it!" Chrissy giggled as she took the floral dungarees out of your closet. She had the same pair, unfortunately, while she was still able to fit into them without a problem, you, sadly, were no longer getting into yours. 
"I have too many memories with them to just get rid of them." you replied with a smile. "I can't believe I have my own room." 
After the apocalypse that swept through Hawkins, the government in an exchange of silence offered you all many amenities. You, Eddie and Uncle Wayne were given a small house on the outskirts, your neighbors were Max and her mom, and Argyle lived across the street with his mom and grandparents. 
Chrissy, as your best friend, had helped you with unpacking and decorating your room, but now the clothes scattered on the floor were to help you find something to wear to the charity festival taking place in the nearby town, which will raise money to rebuild Hawkins. Hopper immediately got you all involved to help. Chrissy will be in charge of face painting, and you'll be at the same booth doing colorful braids, and right next to you will be Robin doing henna tattoos. Eddie and Argyle are to be in charge of the audio system, and Steve has been given the role of coaching the basketball team that will be playing at the game taking place at the very end. 
"We'll finally be able to do sleepovers without chasing Eddie out of his own home," she laughed.
"Right." you replied.
"And what do you think about that?" she asked throwing a yellow dress in your direction.
"Chrissy we are going to a festival not a fashion show." you rolled your eyes. Ever since the scars from the demobats' attack appeared on your body, you didn't feel comfortable in your body and wanted to do everything to stay out of sight. 
"Come on, I'm sure Steve will appreciate this beautiful dress on a beautiful girl." she giggled.
"Chrissy!" 
"What?"
"You're mean!" 
"Why mean? I've been trying to get you the boy you've been in love with since the moment you saw him in that tragic sailor costume at Scoops Ahoy!"
"We established a long time ago that Steve would never look at me that way, besides, he's in love with Nancy." 
"Nancy who cheated on him and called bullshit. Nancy who is in a relationship with Jonathan, open your eyes y/n, in all honesty I think you have a chance, find at least some hope in yourself, come on!" she said in a very dramatic way.
"Hope is the mother of fools." You rolled your eyes.
"For that matter, I can be the biggest fool in the world, for both of us." she smiled broadly. "Now go change into that beautiful dress, I don't want to hear a no!" 
In the meantime while you were dressing up Robin and Steve arrived at your house. You recognized it from Robin's annoyed voice and the unusually fast words out of Steve's mouth.
"Get him away from me because I swear I'll murder him tonight!" she shouted. 
"Jesus, can someone tell me what's going on here?" you asked running down the stairs. 
"Steve has officially lost all his brain cells!" 
"Oh come on, I really don't understand why you're angry!"
"I'm not angry, Steve. I'm worried because you're going right into the lion's mouth, you're on the perfect path to end up with a broken heart all over again!" 
"Now we definitely need to know more." interjected Chrissy. 
"So, Henderson told me that Nance and Jonathan broke up-"
"And the Dingus thinks that coming back to Nancy is the idea of the year!" interrupted Robin throwing his hands in the air.
"Why not?! She already fell in love with me once, she can do it again!"
"Excuse me but are we talking about the same Nancy? I'm sorry to be the one to make you realize that this is the same Nacy who cheated on you with Jonathan, who never loved you and called you bullshit! Do you want to feel like that again? Do you really want to relive it all over again?" 
"If I'm not mistaken you were always the first to say that everyone deserves a second chance!" 
"Oh I'm so sorry I'm worried about my best friend because I don't want someone to take his heart again and dump it!" 
"Me and my heart will be fine without your care!" 
"Okay, enough!" Eddie shouted. You were all shocked by their behavior, because when the two of them argued, it was like the end of the world was near. "It's time to cool down, I propose a little swap. Robin will go to the festival with me and Chrissy, and y/n will get into Harrington's glittering chariot and keep him company on the journey. I think this will be the best solution and...the safest."
Steve wordlessly left the house slamming the door, everyone looked at each other in shock until finally all pairs of eyes were on Robin.
"Are you okay?" asked Chrissy approaching her slowly. 
"I just don't want him to suffer again, everyone knows that she never loved him, after all, she even admitted it herself..."
"You just want to protect your friend, it's not a bad thing, we want the best for him too." She gently placed her hand on her shoulder. 
"Of course we want, but in this case trying to pull him away from her may end up in unnecessary drama." Eddie added. 
"And what do you think y/n?" asked Robin. 
What were you thinking? Many things. You definitely agreed with her that going back to Nancy was not the best idea however your reasons for thinking that way were a bit more personal. For a long time you had been trying to come to terms with the fact that Steve wouldn't look at you as anything other than a friend, but you hadn't quite succeeded. Maybe this was just what you needed? To witness and see for yourself that the place at his side belongs to someone else? A painful but quick rip off of the band-aid?
"I think Eddie is right, it doesn't matter if we like it or not..." you sighed, and Chrissy sent you a sympathetic look, she was the only one who knew how you felt about Steve. That would be enough of the hope she was trying to ignite in you. 
When you got into the car Steve sat quietly clenching his hands on the steering wheel. There was an expression of irritation and nervousness on his face. You knew it wouldn't be the most pleasant thing for you to talk about, but you also knew that since you couldn't have him in your life as a lover, you at least wanted him as a friend. And what do friends do at a time like this? 
"Do you want to talk?" you asked quietly, watching the irritation on his face mellow and turn into sadness. 
"I just- I don't understand! Why is it so bad that I want to go back to Nancy?" 
"It's not, Steve... Robin is just worried, no one wants to look at the breaking heart of their soulmate." 
"Why does everyone think right away that she will break my heart? Maybe this time it will be different?" 
"You won't know unless you try." You smiled weakly. "Whatever happens...you can count on us, and I know Robin will support you too. If it works out for you, we will all be happy for you." You extended your hand toward him, and after a moment he gave you his and squeezed. "But, if it doesn't go so well and she breaks your heart, we'll all be happy to help you put it back together again." 
You didn't expect him to pull you close and lock you in a hug mumbling a silent thank you into your neck. It felt so warm, his scent entered your system slowly. Your heartbeat definitely sped up when, instead of letting you go, he pressed you even tighter to him. As you reciprocated the embrace, you desperately wanted to remember this feeling for as long as possible, the way his arms embraced your body, the way his hair gently tickled your cheek, and how everything together created a place you'd most like to never leave.
"You are the best." he whispered right into your ear, and you naively wanted to tell yourself that the shudder that went through your body was caused by a gust of wind that came in through the open window. Feeling your flinch, he moved away, and you quickly closed the window to hide your embarrassment.
"So…" you began, not wanting an awkward silence to fall between you. Despite the fact that you and Steve now considered each other good friends you very rarely managed to spend time just the two of you. "Excited about the match?"
"Yeah! But also damn stressed." At the very mention of the match he beamed. "The guys are in great shape, but I'm afraid that after a long break they might have some slight problems with chemistry y'know. Especially since we had to change the captain after what happened to Jason…"
"I'm sure they'll do great, they had a brilliant coach." let out a playful laugh.
"You will come, right?"
"Sure I will, go Tigers!"
"go Tigers!" he laughed and started the engine.
All the way he talked about the strategies they devised for the match, you didn't quite understand everything, but when you asked questions he didn't seem annoyed. On the contrary, he was very eager to answer all of them with a smile, quite as if he was pleased with your interest. Your favorite part was when, with a gleam in his eye, he told you how much potential he saw in Lucas, the boy had great talent in him.
When you pulled in Eddie, Robin and Chrissy were waiting in the parking lot. They were joined by Argyle, Max and Lucas. Robin, with a serious look on her face, approached Steve apologizing for her earlier behavior, to which he immediately hugged her, saying that he was also sorry and understood her worries.
"Thank God the world is in balance again!" exclaimed Chrissy clapping her hands.
"I really don't know if we would be able to survive another end of the world." you laughed and started walking toward your stations. "Oh shit."
"What?" asked Eddie.
"Steve I forgot my bag from your car, can we go back for it?"
"Yeah, sure."
When you got back to the car, you quickly pulled the bag out of the car and slammed the door, catching your dress with it. You only noticed it when you felt something preventing you from walking away from the vehicle.
"Hey, careful!" the brunette ran up to you and, with an amused expression on his face, opened the door releasing the material. "You look very pretty in this dress, don't ruin it." he grinned.
"Oh." There was an error in your brain caused by this compliment. All you could do was stare at him and feel your face getting hot and certainly red.
"Come on losers, what is taking you so long?!" fortunately your brother's impatient voice got you back on track and with a quick step you moved towards them.
"Tooold you." said Chrissy quietly catching you under the arm.
"How the hell did you hear that?" you asked hissing through your teeth.
"I hear everything." she giggled, and you rolled your eyes.
Tumblr media
After a full day of braiding, your hands were begging for a rest, especially when your most demanding customer turned out not to be little girls but Argyle and his long beautiful hair. The artificial, light green hair perfectly matched his real black one.
You took a seat next to Max in the front row with pleasure. Next to you sat Robin and El. Argyle, Will, Mike, Dustin and Eddie sat a row behind you. Your brother was initially reluctant to watch the game, but you watched in shock as Argyle successfully persuaded him to do so, explaining that his three friends would be there, and his support would definitely help them. Thus, you all watched as Lucas scored the winning points for the team, Chrissy as the born captain of the cheerleading squad motivated the team to play, and the crowd to cheer and Steve almost fainting from stress in the last minutes of the game.
No one was surprised when, after the win, Lucas immediately jumped on Eddie with excitement after hugging and kissing Max, thanking him for coming. The metalhead unsuccessfully tried to mask his emotion, making him a momentary target for jokes. Steve looked around. Everyone knew exactly who he was looking for in the crowd, however, today neither Nancy nor Jonathan showed up at the festival despite the fact that the rest of their families were actively participating. Seeing his disappointed face made you sad, and the thought that you weren't the one he was looking for in the crowd nailed you even more.
"Yo, Lucas!" suddenly one of his teammates approached you. "I'm hosting a little party at my house, y'all should come!"
At that moment, six pairs of eyes turned toward you. Funnily enough, you were the first ones they turned to for permission, and not their own parents.
"I know that look…" said Steve and rested his hands on his hips, taking his "mom pose."
"Please, coach!" said Lucas, hitting that name right in his heart. Moments later, he was joined by the rest of the puppy eyes.
"Fine!" he groaned. "But there are a few conditions! You don't get in the car with anyone other than me or Eddie, no alcohol, cigarettes or drugs-"
"Oh come on man, who are you trying to fool?" interjected Eddie. "All we can do is believe that these crackheads will be responsible with what they drink and do."
"Just- be safe okay? And Timmy, write me your address on a piece of paper so I know where to pick them up from, and you." he pointed to Max knowing that she would be the most reasonable of them all. "Call me when the party is over."
As the excited teenagers disappeared from sight Argyle suggested that since the younger part of the group was celebrating today, you should follow their example. Thinking of a place where you could feel the magic of your new friend's purple palm tree in peace, Eddie suggested a building that had been abandoned long before the "earthquake."
The building where Hawkins radio used to be headquartered and the place where you used to hide from Wayne, whenever one of you or together got into some trouble. The old tenement welcomed you with the smell of dust, because there was no electricity you had to rely on portable flashlights to light your way, and then a room with an old couch, chairs and equipment needed for broadcasting.
When everyone had taken a seat, Agryle fired up a joint and all of you except Steve and Eddie began passing it around. You were discussing the course of the day's events when suddenly your black-haired Rapunzel moved over to the big console and microphone.
"Goooood eveeening Hawkins! This is Argyle and you are listening to Upside Down Radio!" he said causing you to laugh. "Today's guest is none other than a world-famous star of the heavy metal scene…" he began, slapping his hands on the table pretending to drum. "Chrissy Cunningham!"
Robin nearly choked on a laugh seeing Eddie's surprised face when he didn't hear his name.
"Oh thank you so much!" Chrissy played along. "I am so happy to be here and represent my band Corroded Coffin!"
"Ha, ha, you both are sooo funny. " Eddie rolled his eyes. "If you didn't get your guests' names wrong you'd even have a good career on the radio." he bit back.
"Hey! I would be a perfect match to your band!" Chrissy tried to look offended.
"Sure thing, candy girl."
"This place is so cool, dude." Argyle said looking around. "Maybe we should actually think about bringing it back to life?"
"We?" asked Eddie raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah, all of us! Instead of looking for a job, let's create one for ourselves!" he replied excitedly.
"We could get the government to rebuild this place, each of us could have their own program!" Robin quickly picked up on the idea.
"People could call us, or leave messages, ask for advice or order songs!" The excitement quickly spread to Chrissy as well.
"Wait, are you guys really serious about this? How high are you?" asked Steve.
"Actually, it sounds like a really good idea." interjected Eddie, who was completely sober. "We even already have a name." he chuckled.
The conversation got really heated, ideas came to your heads at the speed of light, even Steve, after a moment's hesitation, got involved, saying it was a much better option than going to work for his father's company.
"So what do you say my dudes? Ready to create the dopest radio in America?"
"Yeah, but let's talk about this tomorrow when y'all not higher than a bat's ass, 'kay?" laughed Eddie.
"And who's to say!" you shouted.
"Hey, shut up! I'm totally clean today!"
"Uniquely." you stuck out your tongue in his direction.

if it's worth your time - one.
Javy “Coyote” Machado x Female!Reader
“He’s my best friend,” you sigh, the love you have for him evident in your voice. Anyone with eyes can see that you and Bob are closer than close, so that doesn’t really answer his question. Coyote wonders if you’ve ever spoken about anyone else with the same adoration, and the tiniest spike of jealousy hits him. You can tell he’s waiting for more than that. You need to start letting your walls down with people who don’t already know you. These people are going to be your family, they’re going to be the people you’re going to have to fight beside, and perhaps die beside. It’s only fair that they have a chance to get to know you in the same manner you get to know them.

High Control
He watches as your eyes close, and your head hits the back of the sofa you were sitting on. They’d been on early morning training for the last week, and it was catching up with you. Your daughter was still adjusting to a new house, a new daycare, and a new routine. It was a lot for her, as she reminded you with her constant tantrums when it came time for bed. It was hard, you had told her that over and over as you soothed her, rocking her back and forth while you rubbed circles on her back, trying to get her to sleep. You kind of wished you had someone who would do the same for you. All it would have taken would be a phone call to Bob, but he was on the same training you were, the same early mornings. There was no point in making his life more difficult for a little moment of comfort for yourself. 
With the few moments of peace you get in the break room, you aim to get yourself in a little nanny nap before it’s your turn in the air. You pray that you’re one of the last in the air, knowing that you’ll have to stay back for those dreaded push-ups if you fail in your goal. You find it utterly ridiculous and completely on brand that these pilots would come up with a bet on their first day back, and it continues two years later.  
Javy wonders what’s going through your head while you relax, but he pours you a cup of coffee, strong and black. He holds it out, gently wafting the smell of it to coax you from your stupor. Your eyes don’t open as the smell hits you and you can practically taste the coffee at the back of your throat.  
“You better not be teasing me with that, because I will knock it out of your hands before you can move,” you threaten, eyes still shut.  
“Nah, I got it for you,” Javy says, and you squint up at him. He’s looking at you with a genuine smile on his face, holding out the mug. You raise an eyebrow at him, considering him carefully.  
“This doesn’t get you anything,” you say, taking the coffee anyway, “but thank you.”  
There’s a small smile that pulls at the corner of your lips, and he grins back at you, like maybe he’s still achieved something.  
-  
The coffee continues over the next week, strong and black, exactly the way you like it. You wonder how he knew how you like your coffee, but you’re not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Not when your daughter is late to bed and early to rise, still unsure of herself in this new town. She doesn’t have her grandparents visiting her every day anymore, instead, there’s nightly zoom calls to them that result in you letting her stay up past her bedtime. You feel guilty that you’ve taken her away from everything and everyone she’s known for the last two years.  
-  
The following Monday, Coyote hands you a mug, a second for himself in his hands and takes a seat next to you.  
“I’m curious about something, Mercy…” he begins, and you cringe wondering what’s about to come out of his mouth next. “What’s the deal with you and Bob?”  
You breathe an internal sigh of relief. You love your daughter, you really do, but you don’t like fielding the questions that come when people inevitably find out about her. You don’t like talking about her father, you don’t like acknowledging that you’ve done the last two and a half years on your own. You don’t like the praise that sometimes follows because you don’t think you deserve it. Your parents do. Instead, you settle in with new people, let them get to know you before hitting them with the fact you have a daughter.  
You know you should tell Coyote, if he’s serious about pursuing you, but you also expect him to get bored pretty quickly. That’s your justification, anyway.  
“He’s my best friend,” you sigh, the love you have for him evident in your voice. Anyone with eyes can see that you and Bob are closer than close, so that doesn’t really answer his question. Coyote wonders if you’ve ever spoken about anyone else with the same adoration, and the tiniest spike of jealousy hits him. You can tell he’s waiting for more than that. You need to start letting your walls down with people who don’t already know you. These people are going to be your family, they’re going to be the people you’re going to have to fight beside, and perhaps die beside. It’s only fair that they have a chance to get to know you in the same manner you get to know them.  
And Jake trusts him, enough to call him his own best friend, so that tells you almost all that you need to know.  
“He was there for me when I was at my lowest and so close to a dismissal, it wasn’t funny. He helped build me back up to this,” you say, gesturing down your body laid out in a relaxed manner on the sofa, ankles crossed on the floor. Coyote takes that as the permission you think you meant it to be, his eyes raking down your body and up again. He doesn’t even blink when you smirk at him, when his eyes finally catch your own.   
“Any chance I can hear more about that?” he asks slowly before taking a sip of his coffee.  
“That is not a story for a morning when we have to fly. Another time,” you promise, and you mean it too.  
“I’ll hold you to that,” he says, fixing you with a look that says he will ask you again.  
You close your eyes again, holding the mug under your nose, effectively ending the conversation.  
-  
You walk into the ready room on Friday morning, weirdly refreshed from your daughter sleeping the night before, and not waking you up before the sun even breached the skyline. For two weeks now, Coyote has your coffee ready for you, and yeah, that first number has been sitting at the tip of your tongue for a few days now. But you stand by what you said that first day, coffee is not worthy of a number. You’re more impressed by the fact that it’s been two weeks and as far as you know Coyote hasn’t asked any of your teammates for your number, disregarding your own rules.   
You see the two mugs on the bench and smile, but then you watch as Coyote reaches for the basket of muffins, pulling out the last chocolate one. You don’t realize that the choked off groan you hear is your own, nor that other people can hear you. But he turns around to look at you, muffin still in hand. It’s when you notice that everyone else in the room has turned to look at you that your face grows warm, and you look at the ground instead of Coyote.   
You slink your way over the couch that still doesn’t have the impression of your butt yet, despite sitting in it every morning, waiting for the day to begin. You’re not surprised when Coyote puts down a mug on the little side table next to you, nor when he walks around the back of the sofa to sit next to you. You’re about to ask him for just a bite, one teeny tiny chocolate chip of the muffin when you catch a glimpse of it in your periphery. Next to your coffee.  
You turn to look at him, the question written across your face.  
“It sounded like you really wanted that muffin,” he says, voice still gruff with sleep. You smile softly, and pick it up, breaking it and offering half to him. 
“Five,” you say with no explanation before taking a bite, letting the sugar and coffee wake you the rest of the way up.  
He looks at you confused for a moment, but takes your offering, nonetheless. Then he realizes what you’ve just said, and his face breaks out into a grin that makes you want to spill the rest of your number.

top five fics (ever. for a fandom/pairing. by people you know. by strangers. whatever u want go crazy) ORRRR top five fob songs bc I know u and ilu and I wanna hear ur thoughts
hi sav. hope you know what you've unleashed here.
TOP FIVE FICS.....EVER
tell me about the big bang (star wars sequel trilogy, Finn/Poe, 37.8k.) i made my mom read this fic and that's not a bit i literally had her read this. and she isn't even a star wars fan. like she's seen tfa but she wasn't even that into it i just made her read this because it's one of humanity's greatest literary achievements and she still brings it up to me in conversation that's how much she enjoyed it. sorry this turned into more of tmatbb being one of my mom's top five fics but yknow. context. anyways i don't want to say too much about it because i don't want to spoil it for anyone who might check it out which Please Do That but suffice to say. it is a work of fucking art and i can only hope to someday write with half the talent nina varela possesses in her pinky finger
darling i'd wait for you, even if you didn't ask me to (the great pretender season 1, Laurent/Makoto, 11k.) swear to god this isn't me sucking up it is still the best gift i have ever received in my life. hey you reading this have you ever conceptualized a fic and went "boy i wish i could feed this into a machine and it would execute the idea perfectly in a way that managed to surprise and delight me as i read it" well you simply must get yourself a sav. because she will do that for you. anyways watch tgp season one literally just to read this fic.
Be Gay; Solve Crime (american vandal, Peter/Sam, 9.2k.) this fic has everything--outsider POV! perfectly in character banter! angie and michael who are real and canon to me! mr fernandez did you eat shit! gay lou carter! do your string thing man! MING, EVEN!!!!!! consider this a rotating spot for the work of my lovely lovely friends in the hanover high AV club, who have churned out some of the bangers of all fucking time which i talked about some of those in a top five ask four calendar years ago
Over & Through (dimension 20 fantasy high, gen, 62.7k.) also made my mom read this. she got the riz chapter first and said it gave her horrifying acid trip dreams. which is honestly so fair. if you are a dimension 20 fan and you haven't read this fic what are you doing. the form is inventive the prose is stunning the characterization is painfully sharp. if you've been watching neverafter going hey i wish this was actually horror READ THIS RIGHT NOW THE HORROR IS IMMACULATE
If You Could Let Me Inside Your Heart (leverage, ot3, 2.5k.) remains my favorite leverage fic of all time and also my favorite group character study. what a lovely premise and executed with such grace and perfect understanding of character and pacing like so much work is done for its length and GOD IS IT ALL GORGEOUS
okay haha onto the fall out boy--JUST KIDDING. I HOPE YOU HAD YOUR WEAPON READY TO TAKE ME OUT BECAUSE ONE TIME I SAID IF I EVER MADE A RECLIST WITHOUT I HATE TO LOOK INTO THOSE EYES AND SEE AN OUNCE OF PAIN YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHOOT ME BECAUSE I'D BE A POD PERSON. SO HERE'S ME DOING THAT, PLEASE READ IT, READ IT NOW. WHAT FANDOM OR PAIRING OR LENGTH? YOU GET TO FIND OUT WHEN YOU CLICK! THAT! LINK!
okay haha onto the fall out boy. so i earnestly did try to come up with my top five fob songs on my own. then i had a breakdown and filled out the whole damn fob song sorter yes all 500 battles. heres my top 25. note the repetition of numbers indicating my inability to make decisions
Tumblr media
elaborations on the medal winners:
THE KIDS AREN'T ALRIGHT: when this song came out i was thirteen years old (in middle school) (did not have my own itunes account) (did not have spotify) and as all songs do it was released at midnight (i was thirteen) (supposed to be asleep) (it was a school night) i hid under the covers with my ipod touch on the lowest brightness setting (supposed to be asleep on a school night) midnight arrived and i could not buy the song on itunes because then my parents would get an email about the purchase and know i had stayed up (i was supposed to be asleep) so i just listened to the 30 second preview on itunes for like an hour straight (i cried) (a lot)
THE (SHIPPED) GOLD STANDARD: me for real bc im literally no good at math
(COFFEE'S FOR CLOSERS): also in middle school i used to doodle song lyrics to keep myself focused during class and my history professor was taking a walk around the classroom and spotted my doodle of a little coffee cup with the lyrics "i will never believe in anything again" and went "aw why not," clearly concerned for my mental health and wellbeing. and despite that horribly traumatizing experience, coffee's for closers remains one of my favorite songs in the world. so thats proof that its really very good
OF ALL THE GIN JOINTS IN THE WORLD: you only hold me up like thiiiiis cause you don't know who i really aAAaaAAAaam
PAVLOVE: sorry its the quirky girl tendencies again. when will they put this on spotify so i can scream my little heart out to I WANT TO MAKE YOU AS LONELY AS MEEEE SO YOU CAN GET GET ADDICTED TO THIS YOU CAN GET GET ADDICTED TO THIS! anyways folie >
now, a disclaimer: this sorter is obviously older than two weeks and thus does not include the songs off SMFS. i feel like recency bias means i can't accurately fit them into the list but i will say that there is no universe in which hold me like a grudge doesn't make top fifteen
if you've reached the end of this post, thanks for going on this journey with me. i meant to be asleep an hour ago. but i did this instead. was it worth it. well whos to say. if you ended up reading IHTLITEASAOOP then yes it was.

Tumblr Plays Pokemon White 2 - Part 6
~~~~ Three hours of running, screaming, ball throwing, and A LOT of crying later ~~~~
How am I STILL NOT DONE?!
I have been at this for HOURS!
ugh
UGH
Screw it. I've done enough for the Professor to at least think I'm trying.
Hopefully Hugh will buy that I was just "tearfully saying goodbye to mom" or something like that.
Nearly out of pokeballs too. I am going to take the longest nap on that boart right to Castelia. I am not even kidding.
Tumblr media
Aww Roxie saw her dads shitty movie and thought it was 'good'. Sure thing Roxie. Sure.
Still its sweet she supports him. Keep working at it Pop Roxie. You'll get there someday!
Tumblr media
Oh Hugh have you, uh, been waiting here this whole time? Sorry my, uh, business took... three hours... My mom uh wouldnt stop crying about her baby girl leaving and it was all touching and...
Tumblr media
Aaaaand your not buying any of this?
Okay look man, I gotta level with you. The last three hours have been a hell of pokemon catching. It had to be done! I completely blanked on it before and this whole "fill the pokedex" thing is kinda my excuse to leave home. I really don't think my mom would accept "help my best friend exact his revenge on the remnants of a terrorist organization" as a proper reason for traveling. I jumped at the chance they gave me! It's not my fault it came with strings attached!
Hey.
I know how to cheer you up.
You want a Pidove? I caught a pidove. No tradsies. Just free gift pokemon. Yeah you want a pidove.
Sooo we cool?
Tumblr media
Thats the spirit buddy!
Pop Roxie! Hoist the anchor, raise the sail, swab the poop deck! Cause we're leaving on a quest!
Tumblr media
I knew I liked the cut of your jib Pop Roxie!
Alrighty Hugh lets get going! NOthings gonna stop us now!
Tumblr media
BLEEEEEEEHHHHH
Tumblr media
Sorry about your shoes POP Roxie. I swear I didn't know I got seasick.
Tumblr media
Yeah might be kinda hard finding a handful of weirdos in funky hats in a city this big. Do you have a plan?
Tumblr media
.... Thats not a plan Hugh. Look for now lets just... split up yeah? I'm tired. I'll go find us a hotel or a bench in the pokemon center to sleep on or something. Give me your Xtranceiver number, I'll call you when I find something. Call me if something happens yeah?
Tumblr media
Yeah well chances are we're gonna be splitting up a lot more after this. I still gotta catch enough pokemon to make mom and the professor think this is just a nice PG adventure. Besides, after Cheren and Roxie I think I have a taste for this whole pokemon battling thing.
With that Hugh gives a passing comment about the weird looking ship on the dock next to us and take off. Welp I'm in the big city by myself for the very first time.
And I'm exhausted. Gotta see if I can find a place to rest. So I stride into the city.
And a random clown gives me a bicycle. And ask me to do a relay. At midnight.
I've been in this city a handful of minutes and already this palce is nuts. I mean I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to ride a bike again. Pretty sure that ten year ban for running over that lillipup is up.
Whatever. Questions for later.
Couldn't find a hotel anywhere. I'll send Hugh a message and sleep at the Pokemon Center tonight.
~~~ Hugh didn't come to the Pokemon Center tonight.
Tumblr media
That not... concerning. I'm not concerned.
Wandered around the city doing some sight seeing. Not looking for hugh. Just sightseeing. Got the last casteliacone, visited a gallery, had a stranger come out from behind a dumpster and give me the tm for flash.
Interesting city.
Still since I can't seem to find Hugh guess I better go to the gym. Think I saw in a brochure that Castelia Cities gym is a bug type gym. If thats true Molly will probably wind up torching the place heh.
Welp guess I might as well head over. Before I leave the pokemon Center though I sell a few of the items I found around Virbank that I dont need, mostly X attack and stuff, and buy more great balls. My attempts at filling out the dex as much as I could before used up a lot of the balls I had.
I'm gonna need to fight some trainers for money soon or something. That acting stint I did was fun but did NOT pay anything. I've still got supplies, but I don't think I'm going to be doing a lot of filling out the dex until I can get more money for more balls and stuff. I mean I still have like 5 great balls, that ultra ball that neighbor in Aspertia gave, plus the heal ball and net ball I bought but thats about it.
Plus I'm down to, like $4.26. Thats not enough for lunch much less, like, 20 pokeballs.
Definitely hitting the gym. Roxie forked over quite a lot from beating her, so this Burgh guy I heard about will probably do the same. Bare minimum I'll be able to get some more Lemonades.
Aight Molly lets go get that money!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With my money?! I mean I havent beaten him yet, sure, but its basically an inevitability here! Where did he go?!
Then this purple haired girl walks up. Apparently she and Clyde know each other? Apparently she's looking for Burgh too. Evidently this Burgh guy is the flighty sort who wanders out of his gym, like, all the time.
Yeesh, Cheren might've been a newbie and Roxie mightve been rocking out too hard to hear me, but at least they were AT their gyms. I though gym leaders had to be at their gyms at all times. Yknow like a 9-5 type deal. Is it NOT a 9-5 type deal?
Wait.... do you guys not get paid?!
Tumblr media
Oh sure NOW you notice me.
Tumblr media
I... How did you.... how could you.... How did you KNOW about that?!
Tumblr media
Yeah well tell that to the weirdos back in Virbank.
Tumblr media
..... By giving me money?
Oh oh no you meant hunting down Team Plasma. Hnngh well... If the gym leaders not here anyway... and considering that might be where Hugh went (who I haven't seen since last night)... Sure why not.
Iris mutters something about thinking where they might've gone and then just takes off too fast for me to follow! Thankfully Burgh knows this town beter than me. He said she went around the corner towards the Pokemon Center. Guess thats as good a place to start as any.
Now might also be a good time to break out that bike that clown gave me last night. Not that I'm in a hurry or nothing.
Thankfully the saying about never forgetting how to ride a bike turns out to be true and I easily catch up to Iris. She tells me we're heading for Thumb Pier. She suspects theyre probably hanging around there.
Why she suspects that I dunno. In fact I'm not even certain who this girl is. Oh well, its the only lead I've found so peddling feet dont fail me now.
As it turns out Thumb Pier is 'suspicious' because its where you enter... the sewers. She wants us... to go into... the sewers.
I mean... I guess if a terrorist organization was gonna hide out in a big place like Castelia after a failed coup the sewers isn't the weirdest place to hide out but...
Tumblr media
GAH Hugh! Don't sneak up on me like that! More importantly where the hell have you been?! And gods no I haven't found any members of team plasma yet. Though I think Iris here might have a lead...
Wait.
Is THAT where've you been all night?!
Tumblr media
NO NO NO
Dodging questions is for strange old men who jump off cliffs and run shady movie lots. NOT from supposed BFFs hunting terrorists together!
Tumblr media
ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!
Tumblr media
That's what I'm trying to do! Look man you can't just disappear all night and then suddenly- Hugh! Hugh you get your edgy anime hair ass back here!
Sonnova
Tumblr media
NOT NOW IRIS!

i have the brain worms bc of that post yesterday and now i can't stop thinking of ves/nix wedding so
they are going to steal the wedding dress. fenix is like i want my baby to look beautiful :)) and vesper is like i don't even like dresses. so they show up to some kind of fancy shop, fenix sees the price tags and needs to sit down. decision was made that they are going to steal all their wedding clothes.
wedding favors and confetti are A MUST. FENIX WANTS the few little guests they have to receive a little gift world be all dammed. i have no idea how confetti are called in english and its probably impossible they would find those little confections anywhere so they will need to switch to anything else, a little smth sweet for the good wishing. favors are another problem, what should they offer? i absolutely want that to be smth funny, smth ugly too, the thing i wish for isn't coming to me rn so i'll need to think more about but i just know it needs to be trash
also just bc it's extremely funny: serenade tradition. just fenix + daniel & nader singing terribly some kind of romantic song to vesper but ofc they are so bad at that. vesper wants to disappear and die
i mentioned italian wedding meals in that post. buffet / two primi / two secondi / fruit / cake. all of this from 2pm to fucking 11pm even. since they have so little guests it's not a big deal and nader's mom can cook perfectly well so she will care about that. ves & nix fighting over what they are going to eat, nix wants risotto with seafood (so true bestie me too) ves doesn't like seafood and she wants smth like fuckin carbonara. nix is losing his mind bc YOU DON'T GET IT I'M SOUTHERN ITALIAN A WEDDING WITHOUT FISH IS AN INSULT. so true bestie 2.0. thank god there are 2 choices...
tradition would want that the mothers would take care of things like bridal trousseaus, buy the bouquet and the veil for the bride and so on so forth but ofc...we don't have them here. generally it's missing that sweet little gestures of family going "i will buy this for your wedding" so daniel & company will do their best to take that role
also i said panam is the bridesmaid and daniel is the best man and lore wants that these two are the ones that should give THE BIGGEST gift to the newlyweds. panam gets away with it easily and gifts smth sweet, smth her and ves share memories about even. daniel is losing his mind. he's like WHAT THE FUCK i'm supposed to gift to these fuckers i am BROKE. and he probably thinks to give them like...a coffee machine? and he's thinks he got away with it until nader tells him he bought a car for them (hes lying to mess with daniel) and daniel loses his mind again
first dance as married couple....sobbing my eyes out on this one, probably vesper would scream at all the guests to turn around and don't look at them bc she's embarrassed. song is going to be almeno tu nell'universo by mia martini bc i have the power here and bc song is 1. beautiful 2. words feel like a wedding vow itself. "you know, people are weird / first they hate each other and then they fall in love" (<screaming ves/nix a lot here and it's literally the first words of the song) "you, you who are different / at least you in the universe / you will not change / tell me that you will always be sincere / and that you will really love me". literally no english word can express the raw emotion this song has it makes me lose it
also first dance with ur parents..we don't have this one either. daniel is going to dance with vesper like he is their dad and i'm not crying this is just sweat i swear. that would be embarrassing so they are probably just messing around but it's a sweet moment
my fave thing ever: when you get married here you get on your car and go honking everywhere in the city, just loudly making noise sometimes with some of your friends following u and doing the same thing. universal italian signal that someone got married. i'm making them do this too who cares. imagine the damn mess they would make, i love this
so many brain worms i have i think i'll just write this fic FUCK

Hello! Could I ask for a twst matchup please? I'm Nord, and I go by she/her.
For personality, I've been told I'm a little mischievous but sweet and calming to be around. I'm definitely more on the introverted side but can come off as extroverted due to my friendly nature. Generally, I have a lot of patience and don't tend to get angry unless it's on the behalf of others. I worry for those around me more than myself and nag when I grow concerned ^^; Some of my other traits include being competitive, curious, stubborn and detail-oriented. overall, I have a lot of emotions but do my best to express them in a way that's not a nuisance for anybody. I just want to enjoy the little things in life!
I write short stories, play video games, watch anime (especially horror and comedy), bake and take walks in the nature in my free time. I also love dogs, and tea. I’m currently studying english and geography! Reciting poetry and quotes help me sleep.
As for love languages, I love giving gifts (especially self-made trinkets like jewellery and I will spoil my partner with them), acts of service and quality time. I'm clumsy with words of affirmation but also a bit of an accidental flirt because I like complimenting people??
Thank you so much, take your time and have a good day <33
Hello there my beloved! So sorry it took so long to get this out, but I have your request in my hands no, you’ll be okay…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I match you with…
Riddle Rosehearts!
Tumblr media
——————————-
So, hear me out. Riddle isn’t so bad, we all know this. It’s just his mom who’s kind of a sucker for so much control it’s damaging (homie here can relate 😭 saddest of enbies). But I swear, I know what I’m doing. This is full of tragedy, but a hopeful ending for the couple you guys make.
With how extroverted you initially came off to him, Riddle thought you were a massive rule breaker. If that’s not one thing he despises intensely, the world must be ending otherwise. He only saw how angry you got at him for collaring Ace, shouting every word you could possibly throw at his noggin to clarify how dumb he is for following all the rules to a T. After his Overblot, he gets to really meet you and appreciate who you are as you finally let your walls come down.
Instead of anger, he sees the endless amount of worry you put into everyone, which is no easy feat since there’s quite a few of them you eventually friend along the way. He’s even accidentally figured out when you start showing massive red flags for burning out severely, but unfortunately he doesn’t quite realize what burnout is and allows it to get to the point where you finally break (I’ll make that bit into its own bullet point, don’t worry-). When Riddle tries hanging out with you for the first time, he really sees how quiet you are. It even gets to the point he forgot you were there until ADeuce decided to start a competition over something completely dumb and dragged you into the mix. He saved you, don’t worry. Someone’s gotta have a tight grip on these boys
After that accident occurred, Riddle couldn’t help but notice how often you suppressed your own feelings in favor of the others around you, no matter how much you didn’t agree with it. He had to think about how to approach that whole separate issue without coming off arrogant because he knows you’re just trying to enjoy the moment, but you’re too caught up in worrying about everyone else you forget to enjoy it too. He doesn’t get a chance to talk about this with you before your burnout hits you full force, but he did manage to snag a conversation between Trey and Cater about it so he wasn’t totally off the rails (and he was right according to that duo, you needed help ASAP!)
Eventually, your burnout hits. And when I say hard, I mean even Rook Hunt, notorious for finding anything to be prey, couldn’t find you on his first sweep of the entire campus grounds. On top of that, Idia, despite having cameras in the weirdest and oddest of spots, couldn’t see you from his cameras. Being worried would be an understatement for Riddle, he’s trying to not completely panic while you’re missing. It’s when he finally decides to search his rose maze that he finds you curled up into a ball on the ground next to a pavilion crying your eyes out. He sits there and tries to figure out how to comfort you (let’s be honest, this boy is more emotionally constipated than you homie), but he eventually settles on stories from when he was younger and was still allowed to speak Trey and Chenya. He eventually stops because his mother finds out and no longer wishes to upset you further (though we both know what happened that fateful day). He honestly thanks you for your deed from so long ago, apologizing that he should have done it sooner than begging apologies with you back then. Riddle offers you a hand and you inevitably take it, he’s guiding your back to his dorm while texting the group chat with the other House Wardens that you’re okay, but you definitely need space for now and a serious talk with everyone is long overdue
Loves that you’re already choosing to study in your free time as you should when you try to become a productive member of society, but is also (not so) secretly curious of your other hobbies. I’d like to think he’s just completely baffled at the concept of anime, but likes that it’s not just some cartoons his mother initially made him believe they were. On top of that, baking? You’ve made a perfectionist become less perfection and more creation in the kitchen baking together, though the others mustn’t see him in such a lovesick state of mind (a bit late since they saw it a long time ago, but this isn’t new for anyone)
When you start gifting him homemade jewelry out of nowhere, he thinks it’s a ploy to get him to do something for you, you’ll have to explain you like making these sorts of gifts for him. Once he understands it, he will now proudly wear and show off his jewelry that you’ve made any time and chance he gets. Riddle’s even got certain sets of jewelry he wears for special occasions now with how much he’s hoarded and made certain that no one made off with his precious jewels you so graciously gifted him
Finds himself completely flustered out of nowhere when you first accidentally compliment him, has to ask you to clarify that you actually meant it. When you’re outright confused at first then turned embarrassing shades of red, he gets the hint. More so when you cover your face with your hands and whine your apologies. It’s awkward the rest of the day between you two unless Cater does something about it, though in all honestly, he’s probably the one to make jokes at your expenses instead of doing the emotional breakdown for the two of you, especially if you’re in a relationship. He’s trying to get you guys to sort your problems out without his magnificent help after all
All in all, Riddle’s so appreciative of this relationship you guys built together. He’s working on finding himself through some of your interests that aren’t necessarily beneficial all the time (if he hasn’t found a loophole in everything at some point I’ll be surprised). He just feels so free with you, but he still gets to keep the things that help him stay grounded like some of the many rules he used to live by. While he’s managing his anger, he’s also being the best partner you could manage with all the quality time being his favorite love language. He just so enamored by you and your captivating charms, why would he resist someone who really loves him?

Watching aloto in Spanish
Episodes 1 and 2
Some other thoughts x xx
Lupe’s letter Eng and Esp
Idk how to format stuff here and am too useless, but here, have my notes on the Spanish dub for episode 3:
Something funny, or interesting given that I see no reason for it, is that to work around the fact that Lupe speaks English and Spanish they swapped English for Italian. So since the “main” language is Spanish and everyone speaks it, they had to give her another one for her telling Esti to mind her business and Maybelle asking for that “I’m a happy lady” line. Hope there’s a reason somewhere for it being Italian lol so instead of saying “soy una mensa” (I’m an idiot/stupid) she says “sono una merda” which according to google means ‘ I’m a shit ’
The Shellfish wordplay. This one was weird 😭 I kind of get it, I think. But it doesn’t make A LOT of sense. Ok so, In English it says ‘shellfish’ bc they were talking about the clam with the machine gun, right? So it’s about sea animals or whatever, I’m an engineer not biologist🥲 Now, in the dubbing it doesn’t really make for a wordplay with those words. Bc Shellfish and selfish are pretty similar. But in Spanish Shellfish is ‘mariscos/moluscos’ and selfish is ‘egoísta’ so not much to go by, right? Right. Instead they use the word ‘Protagonista’ (protagonist) which wreaking my brain, I’ve come to the conclusion that it tries to play with the fact that Stars (like yk famous people AND constellations) are pretty much as close to a protagonist as one can get. So Greta kinda says ‘you’re a Protagonist’ instead of ‘plain old shellfish’.
THE BEST ONE, me thinks: Greta’s date after the whole “I’m normal” fiasco. So when Greta asks Vernon what he does when he’s not watching her play and yk Carson says “Well I’m sure he does a lot of things bc the world does not revolve around you” (shut up Carson, it absolutely does 😭) Greta nonchalantly answers “I’m so excited to find out from him, though” a bit aggressive but just like friendly banter right? WELL in Spanish this gorgeous gorgeous woman fires back to Carson “AMIGA, me encantaría que me lo dijera él mismo” which translates to “Friend, I would love to find out from him” not that different but that “friend” makes it so much heavier after Carson says she wants to be just friends. A BURN (in my book, at least).
The one that hurt me in the end: Max and Toni. That scene where Max tells Toni she got a job at the factory and then says that’s the only way she can get to play baseball and that she HAS a gift. And if she isn’t meant to play why would God give her that? Well, in English. she just says “I have a gift”. Like just a fact. In Spanish, though, she says “Tengo un don y lo sabes” (I have a gift and you know it). The part that hurt me about that is that she says “you know it”. She voices (and lets us know) that her mom knowssss that she’s really good at baseball. But she won’t accept that it’s something her daughter wants. And Toni doesn’t say anything. She just leaves. I swear every time I watch that scene I can hear Max calling after her mom. And it makes me so sad and want to hug her so tight.
This dub is really growing on me and since I need as much ALOTO content as I can get my hands on, I’ll keep doing it. Lol.
As a side note, I said that I didn’t quite like Dove referring to the team as ‘fruits’ in Spanish (episode 2). And he keeps doing it throughout episode 3. In fact, everyone does and I don’t like it. It feels like an invasion of privacy.
(Also, maybe I’m wrong but Priscilla’s voice sounds a liiiittle different. Maybe she’s not trying the Cuban accent as much as in the original)

Dear Gifter Letter !
Hiya, I've never done a gift exchange before, so sorry if anything I say is a bit out of place.
For my requests here's some fun bonus info~! Under cut so i dont take up too much space for ppl who aren't doing gift exchange
Ash/Goh: I really love emotional hurt/comfort stuff, hence my nightmares prompt haha. I always love seeing them be so soft and kind to each other, and I love seeing spotlight on Gou's past with lack of friends and stuff. I don't know as much as I should about previous seasons, so I never quite get references to them.. I just really love how much they care about and support each other!!
Selene/Lillie: they're soooo sweet omgomgomgomgomg My favourite thing about moonlillie is the like,, knight and princess dynamic they've got going on, but also like, how selene inspires lillie to save herself! I really love Nihilego and Lillie interacting as a concept and the idea of Lillie forgiving Nihilego and realizing it wasn't the pokemon's fault what her mom did, espcailly in a moonlillie context. Moonlillie stuff that touches on Lillie healing from Lusamine is the best, espcailly stuff that doesn't try and redeem Lusamine after what she's done.
Burnet: burnet... pretty.... okay but really, I love burnet as a character, she's got such a fun and bright personality, I love how much she's just,, passionate about her work and her husband, how gentle she is with her kid/surrogate kids. I also just love like,, dreams in general, so her being a dream researcher is so cool to me!!
Fun facts: for the record, the 'not cussing' thing in my dislikes list isn't about me like,, having a Thing against cussing, i swear, I just always find it reminds me of stupid memes (Palkia you son of a bitch!) and then I laugh even when it's supposed to be serious sdfjklds.
In terms of where to find me/my likes if you want, there's this blog as the primary place, I tag most of my pokemon stuff as #pokemon for searching! I have my own art/writing blog @voids-colourful-creations if you'd like to poke that, and my twitter @/ColourfulVoid though there's not much there that's different from the tumblr. My ao3 is also ColorfulVoid, and I think my bookmarks are mainly public if you wanna poke those or something.
Also whatever you make I'm sure will be amazing and thank you so so much <3!!!

Spoiled
Tumblr media
based on a request. I swear the plot is better in my head. 😥
characters: company president! Yuta Nakamoto x game developer! Reader word count: 2.7k words genre: fluff summary: You’ve given up on love and just decided to spoil your family. Who would have thought that you’ll find love by spoiling them? (Summary is misleading) warnings: none that I know of
“Auntie!” your nephew called enthusiastically which made you giggle. It hasn’t been long since you last saw him yet it feels like forever with how he hugged you. 
Your older brother laughed, “Yeah, you and your favorite person.” You grinned as he kissed your head, a normal way of greeting you. You handed one gift box to the younger guy who started running exclaiming to everyone that you’re home. “Is that your car?” the older asked, eyeing the silver Mazda parked outside your family house. 
“It’s yours now.” You claimed while handing him the car key. The expression on your brother’s face made you smile. He looked like he didn’t expect it. But that’s the least you could do for him. Besides, the car is just what he needed for his family. 
Your little niece, the daughter of your older sister, came to you with her pouty eyes and you hugged her before handing her the paper bag you were carrying. “You spoiled her again.” Your brother-in-law claimed and you just smiled, shaking your head. “Thank you for the new crib that you sent home.” You smiled as your older brother stared at you in surprise. 
“Y/N, how is that guy I ask you to meet?” your mom asked while you had dinner. What guy? Did she ask you to meet a guy? In your confused face, she sighed. “You didn’t meet him?”
“I’m sorry mom. It might have slipped my mind.” You whined, “It’s really busy lately.” 
“But you had time to send us a massage chair?” your dad asked which made your older sister look at you in surprise. You nodded, explaining that they need it. “And you also sent us a ticket for a cruise tour.” 
“It was a gift from a friend, I can’t even use it.” 
“Do you even have money left? You bought a new Xbox for your nephew.” your brother asked, looking at you worriedly. 
You nodded. The gaming software you’re developing is continually progressing so you have a little extra money to spend for your family, especially for your niece and nephew. "Don't worry about me. I'm happy seeing you happy." You giggled at your family groaning, they hated when you got all cheesy on them. 
You promised your nephew and niece to take them out to the mall to buy some things the next day. Your parents, as well as theirs, revolted. You already gave them new toys. But it was your niece, always the logical one, who told them that you aren't visiting much and they just want to hang out with you. Your heart warmed when she called you her favorite person, your nephew even saying that he wanted to just live with you. 
The adults were mad but you didn't care and just went to the mall with the kids. They were telling you stories about their parents and even their school that it startled you how kids are changing. Your niece even has a boyfriend now. After eating ice cream, they convince you to go inside a toy store. 
It was a paradise for them. They were both starry-eyed while looking on shelves of toys. "Auntie, can we buy a game for my Xbox?" your nephew asked and you crossed your arms, staring at him accusingly. "What happened to the game I asked you to play?" 
"But my friend said that the new game by Nakamoto Corp is amazing." your nephew claimed as an attendant came beside you. "I still love your game, auntie. But I wanted to try the new game," he begged. 
Your nephew held his hands together then gave you puppy eyes. "Please, auntie." He said cutely and you giggle while repeating the same word and tone as him. You heard the attendant laugh lightly then glanced at him in embarrassment. Wow, he's handsome. You nodded at your nephew and he hugged you, "You are the best ever! I hope you find a good boyfriend." And he started running to get the game that startled you. What the hell is that comment? 
"A handful?" The attendant asked and you nodded, smiling. They are. But they are cute and they are your family. Your niece approached you asking for a new Barbie game. She even claimed that she loved your dress-up game but she wanted to play something new. You rolled your eyes and nodded. "You make games?" the guy asked as soon as your niece left and ran to her cousin. 
You nodded. "We have a small business making games." 
He looked surprised. Typical reaction. Whenever you would tell others that you design games, they would have that astounded reaction. "Are you working for Nakamoto Corporation?" he asked. 
It was the biggest company that markets games. The company that you have always wanted to tap. It's not that your game has no potential but it is hard to get an appointment in a large company. Besides, rumor has it that the CEO of the company is an old, hot-tempered man. 
You shook your head just as the kids returned with the game of their choice. The attendant asked if you wanted to test it first and the two nodded. He played your nephew's game first, noting to yourself that the music isn't really that good for the game. Adventure games should have an upbeat tempo, unlike the game which has the same music speed all throughout. 
When he played your niece's game, you noted how the graphics were not child friendly. It's a dress-up game yet it shows curves on the avatar. Not good for body positivity in kids. 
But the two were adamant to buy the games, which only made you sigh. The attendant was ringing up the games you bought while your niece and nephew ran to the store to look for some more games. "I'm sorry but you said you make games, do you mind if I get your name and contact number?" You stared at him in confusion. Why? "I also like playing games so I wonder if I can try playing the game you made." 
Oh. Of course, that makes sense. You bring out a business card and hand it to him. "Please call our company and I'll make sure that we can send you a copy of our game." You said in a business manner and he nodded, staring at your card. "I'm Y/N." You said while offering your hand to shake. 
"I'm Yuta," he said with a smile, shaking your hand. 
------
Both kids started running in the living room when you arrived at your parents' house. Your mom glared at you, referring to the plastic bags you were carrying. "Auntie met a handsome guy!" You heard your niece exclaim. "They were holding hands." Your nephew supplied. 
Everyone was looking at you and you just smiled, shaking your head. "It's not what it looks like." 
It really isn't but you realized how big it is when your parents kept on calling each day asking if that guy, Yuta, called you already. The thought swirled in your head. Are you that uninteresting that he isn't calling you or the company? You've always wondered why you're loveless, unlike your older brother and sister who have their own family already. Maybe the problem is just you. 
You focused on just making your game better. Your niece and nephew said good and bad points about the game you're developing and maybe you can improve for a chance to get marketed by Nakamoto Corporation. It was the second day of enhancing your game, a sleepless night, and almost your eleventh cup of coffee. A typical day. The reason why your co-workers call you a robot. 
It was a busy day for you so imagine your surprise when the company phone rang and your co-worker started talking politely on the phone. She started introducing your game to the person on the line that made your ears perk up. Wait, what if it was Yuta? Before you could stand up, your co-worker put down the phone and grinned. “We’re pitching our game to Nakamoto Corporation!” 
It was a huge company. So big that you’ve never imagined just entering their building. Your co-workers had the same awed expression as you while you glance around the lobby of the huge company. The huge screen showed their latest game and you vowed to watch your game on that same screen after this meeting. 
You, and three other co-workers, were brought to a large board room. It was nerve-wracking. You hope the rumors are not true and the president isn’t some old, hot-tempered guy. “I’ll just go to the restroom.” You told your co-workers and they nodded, looking nervous as well. 
A little pep talk was all you gave yourself when you stared at your reflection in the bathroom mirror. You need to present your idea well. You don’t want to waste all your co-workers’ hard work because of your incompetency. You need to do well and buy your family more presents. 
The moment you turned a corner heading to the board room, you bumped into someone that made you hiss. Is this a bad premonition? What’s worse is that your lipstick stain was imprinted on his white dress shirt. “Oh my God, I’m so sorry.” But the guy only chuckled, calling your name that startled you. “Yuta? You work here?”
He smiled then nodded. “Being an attendant is just a decoy to know about the reviews of the game.” Oh, he must be a researcher. Then maybe, it was him who pitched your game to the president. “I’m sorry I didn’t call you.” 
“Oh, it’s fine.” You said with a smile then pointed at the mark on his shirt. “I’m sorry. Your girlfriend will kill me.”       
Yuta laughed. “It’s fine. I can just hide it with a blazer,” he claimed that made you apologize again. “I’ll see you later.” You nodded, remembering that you had to attend the board meeting. You briskly walked to the board room while Yuta walked the opposite way. 
Now, you wondered if bumping at Yuta is really a bad premonition or not.
You breathed hard as you stood nervously in front of maybe four other people, one of them looking so stern. “Let us wait for the president. He wanted to hear your idea personally.” the oldest in the table noted that made you sweat hard. The president wanted to hear your pitch personally? Maybe Yuta is indeed a bad premonition.  
Your team was busy double-checking the details of the game, making sure that everything will go on smoothly in your presentation. Everyone is nervous, you can see that. So you tried your best to remain calm. When a person entered the room, everyone stood up and greeted him, which made you gasp. “This is our President, Mr. Yuta Nakamoto.” 
He smiled at your confused stare before he sat down in the occupied seat across from where you will be presenting, “I’m sorry I’m late. Please begin your presentation whenever you’re ready.” You breathed heavily before the preface of the game can be seen. You have to do well. Your co-workers’ hard work is at stake. All the gifts that you could give your family and make them happy motivating you to do well. 
You shouldn’t think about the guy to who you had a simple attraction, seated across from you and watching you. 
The presentation went smoothly, the board giving insights on your game. What to improve and the best aspect among the other games in the market. They complimented the graphics, the music, the missions. Yuta, the President, remained quiet on his seat and was just watching you while his board members threw questions that you answered eloquently. “Are there any more questions?” The oldest, who you found out as the senior marketing head, asked. “President?” 
He shook his head coolly, biting the tip of his pen while leaning on his chair. “If it’s settled, then we can sign the contract during dinner.” He claimed then stood up. 
“A company dinner?” the guy next to him asked. “But it’s not in your schedule, president.” Must be his secretary. 
“A dinner date,” Yuta said while looking at you. “Clear my schedule for Miss Y/N tonight.” All the board members look at you as you fidget on your spot. “I hope you don’t mind that I have a lipstick mark on my shirt, Y/N.”
You released a heavy breath when the executives of the Nakamoto Corporation exited the board room, together with the president that left you baffled. Your co-workers were teasing you about the dinner and how they’ll call you Miss First Lady in the future but you shook your head. 
As if that guy would ever like you. 
—--
“Auntie!” your nephew called enthusiastically while hugging you. Your niece joined in the little group hug, as well as her toddling younger brother who you haven’t seen for months. It has been so busy with the gaming development, especially since the game got so famous after being marketed by Nakamoto Corporation. 
It was grueling. But your co-workers were so amazing with their work that your game became better each time. Making the president of the company pleased. 
The same president who was hugging the little kids after giving them their presents. Their favorite person just changed from you to Yuta real quick the moment you started dating. He would always give them lavish gifts, bigger each time they’ll meet. “God, you two.” your mom commented which made you giggle. At least it’s not just you getting scolded over spoiling the kids. “Just get married and have a child already.” 
You rolled your eyes. It hasn’t even been that long since you started dating Yuta. Of course, the first months were hard. He’s technically your boss and you’re his employee. He never favored you at work and would often scold you if you’ve made some mistakes. The rumors were true, he really is hot-tempered. But once you’re outside the office, he would change into a little choco ball with how clingy he gets. He would apologize for shouting at you and even praise you for things you did well. It was a professional relationship that no one in the office had ever wanted to break the two of you up. 
He’s so lovable that even your family adores him. 
During dinner, they kept on giving Yuta the food while thanking him for the vacation passes they gave your family. Your older brother went to Paris with his wife, leaving your nephew to your house for a week. Your older sister went to the Bahamas with her husband, leaving her two kids to a professional babysitter that Yuta hired. Your parents, on top of the cruise tour, even went to a lot of countries in Asia.
You realized how your mom felt about spoiling your nephews and niece when he paid for all their vacation. It even started a silent fight between the two of you. But he only reasoned out that he wanted to do something for your family so that they can like him. And that if spoiling them makes you happy, then he’s happy as well. You negotiated on just how much money he can spend yearly and give them gifts during special occasions only. 
“Auntie, I want to go to Disneyland.” your niece claimed and the older nephew nodded that made their mothers hiss at them. You realized they had always been on local amusement parks, maybe it’s time to bring them to Disneyland. “Let’s go to Disneyland, Uncle Yuta,” they begged and you sighed. 
He’s going to say yes, you’re sure of that. 
“I’ll buy you you’re own Disneyland.” 
Everyone turned their heads on him but he’s just casually biting on the steak from his fork, one hand holding his phone. “Yuta is just kidding.” you cleared out with a laugh and they nodded with a laugh as well. Discreetly, you put down his phone that has the information of the stocks of Disneyland opened. “I’ll buy you tickets to Hongkong and Uncle Yuta can buy you tickets for Disneyland.”   
Your boyfriend gave you a confused look and you stared at him knowingly. 
Gosh, your family will really be spoiled because of Yuta.
