#had adams not kept his feelings closed away maybe keith wouldve have noticed and return them
Mhmhmhmhm... But would this have prevented Keith's murder by Jeffery?
Oh sure Adams revealing his feelings may have resulted in the two possibly getting together, but what about Keith's future murder by an overprotective Jeffery? Would this have been enough to somehow save Keith's life or would Adams have been left devastated? :)
Unfortunately, no. In the end it would not have mattered. If anything, it'd only leave Adams feeling worse than he already did upon finding out what had happened. He blames himself already for not having been there on a shift the night it he incident happened (he worked daytime shifts on the weekend and overnight shifts on weekdays, the murder happened on a weekend evening long after Adams' daytime shift ended*). Had he and Keith miraculously gotten closer than originally, he'd only be left feeling even more shittier for not having been there.

Brucie Wayne being a celebrity contestant on a cooking/baking show.
There is a split second when he’s sitting at the counter in the kitchen, Alfred’s back turned to him as he explains the invitation, that he considers calling the Lanterns and asking if they have any deep, deep cover missions that may take a few years that he could volunteer for. But then Alfred unfreezes, turns around, and the look in his eyes tells Bruce that if he thought for a moment he would be able to escape what was about to happen, he’d have better luck going on patrol with two broken legs.
It was a grueling week. The kids kept flitting in, tasting the creations as they improved or failed abysmally and were deemed poison. It was on the third day, after his 5th failed attempt at a simple risotto that Dick had called, “runny, but with chunks,” that Alfred called in the big guns.
If Alfred’s standards and descriptions of how to tell when each step was done were precise and methodical, then Jason’s were like Dick trying to teach Tim the trapeze on his 7th cup of coffee without having slept in over 72 hours. Uncoordinated, hair raising, and against all odds, weirdly successful.
It was like Bruce was fluent in a language he’d never realized he’d known, and Jason hadn’t stabbed anything but onions in two days by the time they realized it wasn’t a fluke. There was an odd synchronicity between them, where Alfred had been unaccustomed to Bruce’s moments of hesitation or puzzlement, Jason had been a manic bundle of inescapable momentum forcing him forward. There was no room for doubt. Only muffins.
By Saturday, Bruce had made an entire meal and successfully crammed every single one of his children into the dining room for last minute critiques and judgements, knowing they would be harsher than any panel. It had been chaos, cutlery stuck two inches into the walls, and placemats set on fire, but there were no leftovers.
It was Cass who had stood before him, twisting the corners of her mouth up saying, “Good meal,” that had finally released the tension that had been in his shoulders for the last 3 hours.
And by the time of the taping, he’d turned up that Brucie Wayne smile to 110 megawatts, clumsily pretending to not set a timer here or burn water there, but keeping the judges attention with a steady stream of all of his children’s favorite foods and meals he’d practiced preparing. Or his own favorite from childhood that his guardian had taught him on lazy Sunday mornings. No one could resist the full Brucie Wayne charm, not when he was gushing about his family while laughing at himself wryly as he restarted his concoction for the third time and only 20 minutes left on the timer. He was silently thankful that Jason had made him screw up enough and quickly enough that there was no longer a hesitance if he fucked up, and barely had everything plated by the time he heard the timer sound.
And at the end, when he was accepting the small trophy from Gordon Ramsey himself, he allowed himself to grin a small, real smile and admit it had all been thanks to his guardian and son’s never ending patience with him this past week. And Gordon had told him if his son was able to make something half as good as his last dish of the evening, he’d make him head chef in a restaraunt of his choosing in a heartbeat.

Am I the asshole for deliberately ignoring my friends texts and for not writing I got home safely even though I knew they might be concerned?
I was out with my friends (A, J, H, we are all 23/ 24F) yesterday and I was not in a good mood generally because C (25M) (with whom I had a toxic on/ off "relationship" for 9 months which severely damaged my mental health) indirectly tried to get in contact with me 2 times this week (once through a friend, once he directly walked towards me but turned around when he saw I was with a male friend) and this stressed me out enormously.
I told A all of this but she barely commented this so we also didn't really talk about it. But she knew I was feeling unwell. Then, yesterday, I was not the life of the party but I behaved quite normally until A invited H and J to a music gig of hers of which she hasn't told me. The only reason for this could be that it is a gig with other music students from university, including C (A is the only one who knows him personally and occasionally sees him). Just to be sure I asked her if it's a university thing and she said "Yes, you can't come" since I never go anywhere where I might see him.
Nonetheless, this response was hurtful and they also talked for minutes on end about being happy to come and about how nice the event always is etc etc. I am happy for A that she has this gig, yes, but I felt excluded and HATED the thought of H and J getting to know C and having a fun evening there. It was so bad that I cried in the restaraunt bathroom for several minutes and only J came to after some time.
We all went home 30 minutes later, all told me to write when I am home safely but I didn't react to any texts and I didn't write anything because I just wanted to cry and sleep. After I woke up I had concerned and then angry text messages by all of them that this was a complete dick move but none of these messages asked how I feel, they just wanted to know if I am safely and miserably home. So AITA?
What are these acronyms?

Nessian x reader
A/n: This is my first commission piece! I'm so happy with how this turned out. Thank you @dreamlandreader I'm so happy you like it 😊
Word Count: 3,223 words
Warnings: Angst, self doubt, fluff
Joining the Night Court as an emissary for the Winter Court has been a dream come true. Besides your home, Winter was your favorite place in all of Prythian. Their politics and history fascinated you, making you work your ass off in school so you could be the best of the best at court relations.
Feyre and Mor had been the ones that found you. Originally you were working for the governor of the Palace of Bone and Salt. The fact that you were being under utilized made Feyre pay you a visit, delivering a much better job offer.
Since you started you finally got your own apartment in a nicer part of the city, and you have been much happier going to work. Yes, it’s a bigger work load but you love keeping busy.
You also adored the Inner Circle. The High Lord and his family embraced you, not hesitating to treat you as one of their own. Especially Nesta.
The two of you clicked right away, becoming instant best friends. And of course she’s a package deal with Cassian.
You couldn’t deny your attraction to them as the months went on. Nesta had invited you to train with the Valkyries after working for the court for only two weeks, where you became very close. The small touches as she adjusted your stance mixed with Cassian’s praise never failed to make your face heat. It was odd, having a crush on a mated couple.
Finally, after a year of casual hangouts and staying late at the House of Wind enjoying their company, Nesta asked you out to dinner. “Nothing super fancy, unless you want fancy then we can go somewhere really nice or we can-” You cut off Nesta’s rambling by taking her hands in yours. “Anywhere you want to go, I’ll be happy Nes.”
Her smile brightened after that. Before leaving you to go make plans she bent down and softly kissed your cheek, whispering, “Until tonight.”
Seven o’clock came faster than you anticipated. Nesta knocked on your bedroom door just as you were putting the last clip in your hair. Opening the door you found a radiant looking Nesta. She was wearing a beautiful long black velvet gown. A slit up the skirt that showed off her toned thigh and a wide strap that hung off her shoulder.
“Wow,” You gasped out. You swear you saw Nesta blush as she quickly looked down. As she looks back at you her eyes roam your body. Drinking in every single one of your features. “You look stunning.” She whispers out, holding her arm out for you to link with hers. Taking it with a wide smile, she leads you down the hall and out your apartment.
Once you’re taken to your spot in the middle of the restaraunt Nesta pulls out your chair for you, pushing you close to the linen covered table. “Thank you.” You said sweetly, smiling up at her. She leans down to place a kiss on your forehead before taking her own seat. The kiss made your cheeks turn pink. It felt different than the one Nesta placed on your cheek earlier today. You could tell this one was meant to be felt. To be full of warmth and convey care.
Three courses and a very expensive bottle of wine later, you and Nesta were full and giggly. As your laughter died down she braced her forearms on the table, leaning closer to you. A giddy smile pulling at your lips you copy her. Your noses almost touching. “I have something to confess.” Nesta says coyly. You tilt your head at her unusual tone. “What is it Nes?”
Your heart was racing. Hoping for a confession of love from her. It was so wrong of you to hope that. Cassian was your friend too. You didn’t want to drive a wedge between them or the rest of the Inner Circle. At the same time you were wishing for Cassian as well. Wishing it was the both of them confessing their love for you. But he isn’t here, Nesta is. Maybe he doesn’t care about you as much as you thought.
You thought you were close with him. You shared jokes, would be board game partners, and even dragged him shopping with you. Cass pretended to hate it but liked spending time with you. Or so you thought.
“Meeting you has been an unexpected joy y/n. Getting to know you, having fun with you, and spending with you has just…I can’t think of a word to describe it, there isn’t one perfect enough.” You felt tears forming behind your eyes as a lump settled in your throat. No one had ever been this happy being with you. Not even your last boyfriend treated you with such kindness.
“I’m so happy I met you too Nesta. You and Cass and the rest of the family have been so kind to me.” Nesta closes the distance between your hands, lightly playing with your fingers. She looked hesitant to speak again. “I want to be honest with you, y/n. Cassian and I care about you. Not in a just friends way…”
Your eyes widen in shock and hope.You open your mouth to speak but the words get caught in your throat. “I-I care, I feel the same way.” Nesta lets out a happy sigh of relief and visibly deflates back into her chair while staying attached to you.
“We want you y/n. If you’ll have us.” You nod vigorously. “Yes. Yes, I really do.” You can’t stop smiling at her the whole walk home. Nesta holds your hand as you swing them back and forth.
Finally back at your apartment door, you frown a little, not wanting this sweet evening with Nesta to end. Looking between your new girlfriend and your door you let out a sigh. “Tomorrow morning Cass and I want you to come over for breakfast. We can talk more about things.” Nesta brushes a loose strand of hair behind your ear, coming down to lightly trace your jaw. You nod, giving her a small, “ok.”
Unlocking your door you turn back to face Nesta. Looking up at her your eyes land on her full lips. “Nes?” “Yeah baby?” Pink slightly tints your cheeks at the pet name. “Can I kiss you?” Your voice barley above a whisper.
Nesta smiles and brings her hands up to cup your face. They feel soft against your skin. Leaning up to meet her you feel a spark as your lips touch. Your mouths move against each other in an elegant dance. The kiss full of warmth like the one she placed on your forehead earlier that night. For the first time in a long time, you feel genuine love flood your body. She’s holding you like you’re going to slip away and she won’t let that happen.
Your hands find home on her hips, pulling Nesta closer to you. In that moment, you decided you wanted to feel this love for the rest of your immortal life. And if you felt this way with just Nesta, how would you feel when Cassian started showing you love?
Would he though? He didn’t come to dinner tonight.
The kiss slowed until you two were just resting your lips against each other. Your breaths heavy as you pulled apart. “Goodnight baby.” Nesta gave you one last parting kiss before leaving you.
The next morning you donned an adorable cherry pink dress, practically skipping through Velaris on your way to the House of Wind. As you approached the outskirts of Nesta and Cassian’s home you spotted him waiting for you as he always did.
Cassian was wearing a wide grin as you approached. He scooped you up into his strong arms, spinning you around. Pulling back to look in your eyes, he held you firmly. “Hi sweetheart.” “Hi Cass.” you say sweetly, wrapping your arms around his neck to prepare for the flight up.
Cassian softly took off from the old cobblestone street, the beating of his leathery wings soothing your nerves as he climbed higher and higher.
Landing on the balcony of the living room he gently sets you down, grasping your hand. “How did you sleep last night?” He asks casually, leading you towards the informal dining room. “Fine. I had some excitement keeping me up.” He lets out a breathy chuckle and kisses the top of your head. “I can only imagine.”
As you walked with him you couldn’t help the tight feeling forming in your chest. Over thinking, like you partially did last night, as you wondered if Cassian really wanted you with them.
You couldn’t help it. You knew Cassian loved you as a friend, but his love for Nesta is like nothing you have ever seen before. You didn’t know if he would like bringing another person into their mated relationship. It took Cassian so long to win Nesta’s trust and heart. Would he want to let another share that?
Entering the kitchen you saw Nesta laying out plates of food on the table. Muffins, croissants, fruit, breakfast meats, and pancakes. Cassian pulls your chair out for you, like Nesta did last night. He pushes you in and takes the seat next to you.
Nesta sits across from you with a sweet smile on her lips. “Hi baby,” she takes your hand, bringing it to her lips. “Please dig in.”
Scooping food onto your plate the three of you fall into easy conversation. After a while you fall into a lull, unsure what to talk about besides the obvious.
Clearing your throat, you decide to start. “So…Nesta and I talked last night.” The pair perked up, making slight eye contact. “And I want to be with you guys.” They let out a sigh of relief and Cassin rested an arm on the back of your chair, smiling down at you. “But, I have a few questions.” Nesta nods. “Ask whatever you want, we’ll answer it.”
You turn to Cassian, a small pout on your lips and a sliver of worry in your eye. “Why didn’t you come to dinner last night?” He lets out a shaky sigh. Like he’s nervous to say anything to you. “We thought if it was just one of us, you’d be less intimidated by the thought of a relationship.” You slowly nod, letting his response seep in. “And you don’t mind this Cass? I don’t want to be a burden or cause problems for the two of you. I just-” Cassian tilts your face up by your chin with two of his thick fingers. A doting look on his features.
“Sweetheart. You have nothing to worry your pretty little head about. Rest assured, we both want you as much as you want us.” His thumb rubs against your chin. You felt relief knowing your anxiety was all for nothing.
Weeks have passed since your relationship started with Cassian and Nesta. It started out…chaotic to say the least. The three of you wanted time together but work picked up for all three of you. It was a busy time of year with the holidays right around the corner.
It also didn’t help that Cassian was away in Windhaven for a few days every week. It had just been you and Nesta at your apartment or the Town House.
Cassian being away made that doubt about how much they actually wanted you creep in again. You love your time with Nesta but you craved time with both of them. To just sit with them and bask in their attention. Maybe it was a mistake being with a mated couple.
On the last night of Cassian being away Nesta slept over at your apartment. You opted to sleep on your side rather than in the middle of the bed cuddled up with her like you usually would. You were too tense, lost in your thoughts and didn’t want Nesta to worry. Though she probably sensed it.
As Nesta laid down you curled in on yourself, trying to get further from her. This didn’t go unnoticed as she huffed at your movement. Sitting up, Nesta turns the lamp on on the bedside table, the dim yellow light illuminating her profile. She grabbed your shoulder and turned you to face her.
“Talk to me y/n.” Nesta pleaded with you. Taking a deep breath, you sit up, bringing your knees to your chest. Nesta rests a comforting hand on your arm, her thumb rubbing small circles on your skin. Worry glinting in her steel-blue eyes. You lay a hand over hers, giving it a comforting squeeze.
“Does Cassian like me?” Her face contorts into confusion. “Baby of course he does, he loves you. Why wouldn’t he?” You shrug, unable to meet her gaze in fear of bursting out into tears. “I just-I feel like he doesn’t want to spend time with me. I know work has been crazy but there’s a part of me that doubts…everything.”
When you look up at Nesta a single tear falls down her cheek. She shuffled closer to you, throwing her arms around your neck, pulling you flush to her chest. A few tears escape your own eyes. “I’m sorry baby. I’ll talk to him or we can all talk when he gets home.” You nod against her.
Cassian arrived home late the next afternoon. Wearing that wide goofy grin on his face as he came through the door of the Town House, embracing you both.
Back at the House of Wind later that night, you and Nesta lounge in the living room as Cassian makes dinner in the kitchen.
Sitting down at the table together Cassian tells you about his trip to Windhaven. It takes all of you not to interrupt him and blurt out, ‘DO YOU LOVE ME!’ But you hold your tongue as you push your vegetables around your plate. You don’t have much of an appetite anyways.
Cassian’s booming laugh pulls you from your thoughts. Out of the corner of your eye you see Nesta quickly glance at you. Looking up at Cassian you give him a small smile that he returns. “Sweetheart, I was wondering if you wanted to go out, just me and you.” You sit up straighter, surprise taking over your features. “Really?”
“Yes,” He laughed out, “Nes gets you all the time and I want you to myself for a bit.” You look to Nesta, as if asking for permission. She gives you an encouraging nod. “Ok. Can we go out tomorrow night?” “Absolutley.” Cassian brings a hand to the back of your head, placing a chaste kiss on your head.
Nesta helps you get ready for date night. Finishing up your make-up she lets out a dreamy sigh, “You look so pretty y/n/n.” She moves behind you to make sure your hair is perfect. “I’m excited to have the house to myself. Not that I don’t love having you two around but sometimes I just want to get lost in my book.” She giggles to help lighten the mood, making you giggle too. Nesta meets your y/e/c eyes in the mirror. She gives you a loving smile, draping your hair over your shoulders. “Ready?” “Uh-huh.”
Heading down the grand staircase you see Cassian waiting for you at the bottom with a bouquet of your favorite pink roses. Cassian watches you with a love sick grin as descend the last few steps. “You look stunning.” A slight blush dusts your cheeks as you look up at him. Cassian hands you the bouquet. You sniff them, taking in their sweet scent before placing them in the vase on the entry way the table the house put out for you.
You were surprised that you weren’t nervous during dinner. You and Cassian had fun joking and flirting like normal. He was extra touchy with you, never letting go of your hand an dpractically pulling you onto his lap at times. Cassian made sure he gave you his undivided attention throughout dinner.
Hand-in-hand, you take a walk along the Sidra, admiring the stars. “Lets sit for a minute sweetheart.” Cassian places a hand on the small of your back, guiding you to the nearest stone bench. Sitting, Cassian holds your hands in his lap.
“I wanted to talk about us.” You swallowed nervously at his words. “Nesta talked to me. And I’m sorry that you’ve kept that pent up for so long. I love you very much y/n. I’m so sorry if I haven’t shown you that. I promise that I will show you how much I love you for the rest of our lives.”
You grip his hands tighter in yours. Letting their warmth seep into you. Cassian’s hands are rough and battle worn. Yet so gentle with you, like Nesta’s. You feel safe with him. From the look in his eyes you know he meant every word. That it pained him you didn’t feel loved by him.
“I love you too Cassian.” You leaned your head against his shoulder. The two of you sat like that for a while, watching the stars shimmer.
It’s been almost a year since you started dating Nesta and Cassian and you couldn’t be happier. The three of you fell into a comfortabel routine. You always made time for each other, had regular date nights, and made sure time with family was balanced out as well as one-on-one time. And thanks to Nesta and Cassian’s endless begging you broke and moved into the House of Wind.
You placed down the last snack bowls, stepping back you admire the setup. Tonight was a night for just the three of you. It was rare you all got to relax and you were happy to see them let their guard down. To put away the mask of the General and Valkyrie.
You hung small fae lights, laid out extra blankets and pillows, set out snacks, and everything you will need for face masks. The front door shut as Cassian and Nesta’s voices floated up to you from the entry way. Approaching the living room they paused in the archway.
“Do you like it?” You ask, clasping your hands under your chin. Nesta rushed over to you, pulling you into a crushing hug. “It’s perfect.” She mumbled into your hair. You relax into her as Nesta hugs you tighter than you thought possible. “Missed you today.” “I missed you too Nesa.”
She broke away, pressing a quick kiss to your lips. “I’ll be back, I’m going to change. Are you coming with me Cass?” You both look to him. Cassian is casually leaned against the door frame as he shakes his head. “Nah, I’m just going to chill in my underwear.” Before the two of you can protest he strips in the middle of the living room. “Will you take my leathers to our room?” He asks with a shit eating grin.
Nesta rolls her eyes at him, playfully slapping his shoulder. “Fine. But don’t start without me.” she calls over her shoulder. Cassian rushes at you picking you up, and flopping on the couch with you against his chest. You giggle and snuggle into his muscular chest. “Missed you today sweetheart.” “Missed you too Cass.”

The pouring down rain in Chicago really wasn't a shock. It was your train being late, your umbrella being forgotten at home. All of it was just your bad luck kicking in. And on top of that, your professor had - in his usual fashion - run class later than usual and you were late for work. Not to mention, your phone was dead with probably a thousand messages from your co-workers and boss waiting to be read.
Working at the Beef wasn't the plan. But life had been reminding you lately that your plans were on the back-burner. It might not be the greatest pay, but there were dorm fees and decor to make it feel like an actual living space, tuition, even class materials that needed money to get.
By the time you did make it into the Beef, it was halfway through the lunch rush, though the restaraunt was empty. "There you are. Where the hell have you been?" Richie asks. Tears start forming in your eyes and then falling at the sound of his angry voice. "I have thirteen assignments that were all due like, last week and my professor ran class late because he likes to punish me I guess and my umbrella is at home and it's raining a lot and my phone died and-"
"Richie, give the girl a break." Carmen scolds as he walks over to you, placing his hands on your shoulders. "Don't worry about it. Okay? Richie, get her some hot chocolate, Tina take over the register." He commands. You shake your head. "No, come on, I have to get to work, I-"
"You are not working until you calm yourself down, I don't care. Work on your homework, I'm making you some food, I'll get you a blanket and Richie's getting you some hot chocolate. It's okay. As your boss I'm telling you to do this." He repeats. You nod slowly. "I'm sorry, Carmy, for being late." You say softly.
He guides you over to a seat, grabbing his jacket from behind the counter, and placing it over your shoulders. You sigh, as he places a kiss on the top of your head. "Don't overwork yourself, though. Can't have one of my best employees going crazy on me." He says softly.
You sat at that table all night, with Carmen making your favorite dish (that he may or may not have memorized) and making sure you had water or tea to help relax you, even offering to help with some of your homework, though he didn't understand any of it. And each time he checked on you, he left a small kiss on the top of your head before vanishing.
You're pretty sure you're falling in love with him after that.

A week had passed since the fire in your apartment complex. It had taken a couple days before you were able to go back to your apartment to search for any belongings that may have survived. Luckily your phone somehow managed to survive the inferno, lord knows you didn’t have the money to replace it.
After about 2 days of staying at the hotel, your best friend April was generous enough to let you stay on her couch until you could get enough money scraped together for a deposit on a new place. As nice as the hotel was, you felt terrible about the possibility of racking up a bill for Price. No matter how much you begged the receptionist she would not let you pay a dime for the room, stating that John had given her strict rules to not let you.
The images you managed to squirrel away in your mind of the egnima known as John Price would not stay hidden back there. You weren’t ready for a relationship- not after your ex. And yet, you still woke up every morning in his jacket, the smell of him was vaguely noticeable underneath the overpower scent of smoke.
You had just moved out of your ex boyfriends house and into your apartment, on the opposite side of the state. Well, your ex apartment now. The idea of having to start all over brought tears to your eyes. You had been here less than a month and already things were turning into a shit show.
Today was your first day back at work after the fire, your new manager, Sheppard or Shep for short, was surprisingly kind about the situation. He completely understood and let you take some time off to get your things together. You didn’t understand why the other waitstaff disliked him so much. They always whispered about how cruel, rude and dirty Shep was.
As you rushed into the restaraunt to start your first shift back you were taken aback to see none other than John Price and the entire crew. As you made your way passed his table your eyes locked- and that perfect smile crept upon his face. His smile felt like rays of sunshine. Like a breeze on a summer day.
“Well if it isn’t Y/N” Price bellows, drawing the attention of the whole restaraunt to you. Soap looked at you and waved, “glad to see you alive lass!” You smiled weakly back at him before glancing over to the paramedic who wrapped your hand. “Hows that hand looking” he asked, nodding at your right hand which was now bandage free.
“It’s much better. Thanks” you say, holding it up breifly. You’re positive your face is about as red as the tomatoes on the omelet Soap had infront of him. Your blood runs a cold as your eyes glance over the party and see the man in the balaclava- except this time it has a skull on it.
Who the hell wears that out in public! A shiver runs through you and Price seems to notice. “So Y/N what brings you here” he says, taking your attention away from his terrifying counterpart. “Oh uhm well. I work here” you reply, ”and if I don’t get back to clock in I might not have one much longer. But I’ll be back out!” “Good. Because you haven’t been properly introduced to the 141 house” he beams, gesturing at the men at the table with him.
With that you slip through the kitchen door and back towards the lockers. You press your forehead onto them to help cool your face down so maybe it won’t give away your embarassment. Why is he here? Does he know you still have his jacket? Oh fuck.
“You alright Y/N?” Sheps voice booms, pulling you from your daze. He drops a hand on your shoulder and looks down at you with concern in his eyes. “Yeah yeah. Sorry. I just.” You sigh, trying to collect your thoughts. Did you really want to trauma dump on your boss? His hand raises to cup your cheek, causing you to flinch.
“That crew was the one who saved me from the fire” you say, turning your face away from his hand. Something flickers in his eyes, just for a second, anger? Jealousy? Rage? You’re not sure what it is but before you can place it his eyes change back to concern. “Oh. Well. What a coincidence!” He forces a chuckle and a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “I’ll see you out on the floor in 5” he states, before turning curtly and walking out.
You blink a bit, startled by his sudden change, the rumors about him being a piece of shit seemed a lot more plausible now. Shaking your head, you open your locker and stuff your purse in it before throwing up your hair into a ponytail and heading back out to the front.
Lucky for you, the 141 were not in your section today. But that didn’t stop you from stealing glances over at their table in between taking care of your own guests. When you had finally taken care of your section, you decided to venture over to be introduced to the whole “squad”.
“Hey yall didn’t have to wait for me guys” you say, noticing the empty plates.
You sauntered over, catching the Captians eye before flashing a small smile, “sorry for making you wait boys” you say, noticing they had long since finished their breakfast. “Oh luv’, you ain’t gotta apologize to these muppets” Price replies, his accent thick. “Hey who you callin’ a muppet, Cap?” Gaz questions, his eyebrows furrowed in mock anger.
Price laughs and you swear that must be what heaven sounds like. “But I wanted to introduce you to everyone. That as you already know, is Gaz. Best paramedic this side o’ the town” he says, voice full of pride. “That shaggy man is Soap. Don’t ask” he quips, before you could even open your mouth. “Strange name for a strange guy” you giggle. Soap brings his hand up to his chest feigning pain, Price let’s put a small chuckle at that. “Those two are Alejandro and Rudy. They keep us well fed at the house and are pretty decent at their jobs” John says, gesturing to the two men at the other side of the table from him. Both men wave and flash you big smiles. “And this,” he says, gesturing to the terrifying man in the skull balaclava, “this is Ghost.”
Ghost simply grunts, “can we go now captian. We have shit to do” and begins to stand. “Ghost. You need to learn to relax once ‘n a while.” Price reprimands him. Before you have a chance to say anything or greet the team, Sheppard voice booms, “Y/N what are you doing? Get back to your section”. You whip your head around to see the face of your extremely angry boss.
“Shep, cut her some slack eh?” Price retorts, his face contorting into anger. What happened between the two of them? “No no he’s right” you smile weakly, trying to alleviate the obvious tension in the room. “Go Y/N” Shep says, before coming up behind you and putting his hand on your lower back and pivoting you away from the table.
“Sheppard. You don’t need to move her” Johns voice rises slightly, “she was going”. The temperature in the room was rising. “Boys it’s fine. Really. I’ll see you around yeah?” You say, voice quaking. “Of course luv” Prices says, relaxing slightly, “Cmon boys. We have shit to do back at the house.”
At this, the 141 house gathers their stuff and begins heading towards the door. Price and Sheppard exchange a death stare from across the room, causing goosebumps to form all over you. Now you had to know what happened between them.
You smile, feeling your heart slam in your chest at the thought of them leaving. Would you ever see them again? This is stupid. Just because John Price saved you from a burning building doesn’t mean he wants anything else to do with you. It’s his job. Just like it’s your job to serve them food. “Alright boys, you have a good rest of your day alright?” You say sweetly. Desperately trying to cover up how nervous you are.
The boys all give you a wave goodbye as they head out the door. John flashing you a smile before saying “it was good to see ya again, Y/N”. Now your heart feels like it’s about to smash through your ribs, he’s glad? To see you? You nearly melt as you whisper “you too John”. His eyes crinkle as his smile widens ever so slightly before heading out the door.
Seeing the boys climb into the fire truck and head out of the parking lot you felt a bit giddy. It wouldn't be the last you would see of John Price, if he knew your manager it had to mean he frequented your restaurant. A small smile crept on your face at the thought, but it was quickly wiped away by the shouting of Sheppard telling you to stop standing around.
You return to their table to help your coworker clean it up when you see it. Written on the back of the receipt in probably the worst handwriting you’ve ever seen, was a phone number and a simple message:
"Incase you ever want to return that jacket- John Price"

Dating Rory Gilmore Would Include
Tumblr media
This one is set during post-Chilton but a Chilton specific one would be really cute
Masterlist (doesn't currently work)
Warnings: n/a
-
Dating Rory Gilmore Would Include
You met at a coffee shop
Rory had books and papers piled around her at a table by herself
And of course, there was a giant mug of coffee at the table as well
The first time you see her there she catches your eye but you don't make a move
Then you start seeing her around campus all the time
So, the next time you go to your favorite coffee shop there she is in the same spot with her nose in a book
You go over to the barista and ask her for whatever your mystery girl got plus your own order
Then you take the drinks over to Rory and set hers in front of her
She looks up confused and then sees you
She's definitely nervous because she totally had noticed you around campus and thought you were cute
"Do you mind if I join you?"
"Oh," she says surprised, "No, not at all!"
So you sit and ask her about her book
Then from there the two of you talk and talk and talk
By the end of your time together, the two of you exchange numbers
Rory and you go on a date to the same coffee shop within the week
Then another and another
And before you know it, Rory is showing you her favorite book store
And you're inviting her over to your apartment
Movie nights with plenty of take out food
Or going out to try new restaraunts
Finally, it's time to meet the Lorelai Gilmore that you had heard so much about
You were nervous as hell that Lorelai wouldn't like you
However, Rory wasn't worried at all
She's already told Lorelai everything about you and Lorelai already thinks you're great
Lorelai of course loves you, greeting you with a warm smile and hug
You were officially a member of the family from now on
Lorelai will ask how you're doing everytime she talks to Rory
You're invited over anytime and you frequently come home with Rory on weekends
After dating for a few months, the time had come for you to meet Rory's grandparents
You knew it was only a matter of time but you were nervous as hell
You knew that they could be a bit critical and you wanted everything to be perfect
Dressing up in one of your best outfits
"Ooo we're breaking out this one huh?" Rory asks smiling at you when you pick her up
Hell you even bring Emily flowers
Emily is thoroughly impressed by this
Lorelai does pick on you before you all walk in about the flowers
But ultimately she loves how much you care for Rory and how much you want to make a good impression on her family
You're invited to all of the holiday festivities
Attending and participating in Stars Hollow traditions
Having your fair share of food from Luke's
Random road trips to go see bands you and Rory like or to just get away from the stress of school and life
Rory stealing your sweatshirts and sweaters
Many nights when you come home late from studying, work, etc. you find her curled up on the couch in one of your favorite sweatshirts/hoodies and it's the cutest thing ever
Spending hours in book stores
Carrying the stack of books that Rory acquires during your trip
Listening to her little rants
Her doing the same with you
Giving each other book recommendations
Swapping books and leaving each other notes in the margins
Getting an apartment together and it being the coziest place ever
Rory simply loves everything you do and vice versa
Essentially, you guys have the biggest heart eyes for each other
And I have to stop here or I'll go on forever

Raiden X Chubby! Fem! Reader
This one is split in an awkward place because of tumblr's stupid word limit, so the second part will be linked at bottom.
Tumblr media
August 1795, in Edo Japan This would be after Raiden had become Ozeki, historically Raiden had achieved this in March of 1795 making him at around 18 during the occurances of this story. Tameemon Raiden x Chubby Fem! Reader
"Welcome home, dinner's almost done." (Y/n) smiled from where she stood in the entryway to the kitchen, it was still so surreal to her to be married to her long term lover. They had been seeing eachother since mid winter of the year before, it was shortly after he had become Ozeki in the spring that Raiden had proposed to her. It had been 5 months since the night of their wedding, the whole thing had been a whirlwind. Of course with Raiden being a popular Ozeki it was a rather big event, it didn't take long for things to fall into place. After their wedding he had been allowed to move out of his stable, Raiden having bought a house nearby so he could walk to the stable for his daily training and to help train some of the newer wrestlers. Things had since grown peaceful, but still she couldn't believe how lucky she had been to end up with the gentle giant before her. "Thanks, I'm gonna go clean up real quick." He had approached her with a calm pace, a soft smile on his face as he leaned down to press a kiss to the top of her head. His body relaxing as any possible stress from the day disapeared when he had her close, he knew when he saw her working at her parents restaraunt that he had to have her. Thankfully he was quite charming, so he didn't have to spend months proving his worth. Though that didn't mean he didn't put in work when it came to the relationship, he made she was supported and often bought her gifts and would bring his friends to her restertaunt to eat many nights. Earning the family a nice sum, as he knew she would never accept it if he had tried to just give her the money. Even if he was still somehwhat jaded towards sumo, he found himself in heaven when he'd see her watching his matches. He always made sure she had a comfortable place to watch from, wanting to be able to watch her back. The things that were normal to him she seemed to adore, an amazed gleam in her eyes every time he lifted another man from the ground. "Alright, your kinagashi should be laid out on the trunk." Raiden had nodded and muttered his thanks before moving away from her to go get cleaned up and put on his kimono, he smiled when he entered the large room. Because the house was close to the sumo stables and ring it had been designed with a sumo in mind. Because of this things were surprisingly proportionate to him, but that was also why (Y/n) needed a step stool to reach the tops of the counters comfortably.
He thought it was adorable really, she was so much littler than him and while that was normal with most it just felt special with her. He remembered how when they had first started dating she was often anxious, when it was explained that it was because she was concerned of her body shape he had spent almost an hour kissing her and explaining how he adored every aspect of her form. He loved bigger women, as a large and quite strong man skinny women made him a bit nervous because he has to be even MORE careful with them than he normally has to be with ANYONE. He loved how soft she was under his large hands, how warm she was against his chest, how he could hold her close without worrying about crushing her outright. He had practically worshipped her the night of their wedding and for the week that had followed, he had made sure she never had a reason to feel so low about herself again. Especially given the challenges that come with being the wife of an Ozeki, he knew how much effort she put into just making his meals much less dealing with his schedules and wrestling matches. On the bright side he can say he makes sure his wife is well fed and spoiled beyond belief, that brought him some relief on days he's supposed to be observing the training of the newer stable mates. Sometimes they just felt long, sometimes he just wanted to be at home and wrapped around his princess. By the time he was getting out of the wood tub she was coming into the room, offering him a sweet smile =. "Dinner just got done, I got some fresh sake earlier from the local distiller he wanted your opinion on, I hope you don't mind," He could only chuckle, (Y/n) had lived in edo all her life, working at her parents resteraunt since she was old enough to help. Because of this she was familiar with all the locals, and more often than not getting to know any new shop keepers or business owners. "That sounds good, a bit of sake sounds nice tonight. You go ahead and get your food, I'll be in there when I'm dressed." He ran his hands through his long wet hair, the dark strands hanging around his face. He quirked a bushy eyebrow when she motioned him to lean down to her level, though his confused look quickly became love struck as she pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. Her tiny hands easily tucking some of his unruly hair out of his face. "Better hurry, I made your favorite." She winked at him with a giggle, slipping away before he could grab her. "I see, I suppose I should hurry then." As if to prove his hunger his stomach decided to roar, his face had flushed a little as he felt it coming but didn't think it would be THAT loud. He did love her cooking, her food was some of the best he had gotten to try. They had gone to visit his parents at one point and he was overjoyed when both his parents liked her cooking, she had been rather quickly accepted into the family after that.
Raiden was a caring man, a gentle giant that made it easy to adore him. She comforts him after stressful days. She knows how much he hates scaring people, it was one of several reasons as to why he won't raise his voice around his wife much less AT her. Part of him was also afraid it would somehow get across Japan and back to his mom, and he didn't even want to think what his mom would do if she found out he was disrespecting his wife. He had a big aching heart, and while she wished she didn't have to be the one putting on the Band-Aids after he accidentally spooked a new wrestler, she was also more than happy to be by his side and support him in a way no one else could. She saw a man no one else did, and it made her heart soar every time he gives her that content smile of his as he holds her in his arms before they fall asleep at night. (Y/n) happily went about setting the table and getting the sake out and ready, her seat being right next to his as he insisted on having her close whenever he was home. "So how was your day?" Raiden had approached now wearing an open black kinagashi (from my research its basically the simplest type of male kimono, consisting ONLY of haori and an obi belt.), he scratched his slightly exposed chest as he sat beside her. His long hair was left down but had been neatly brushed out, he was at his most comfortable now. "I did some cleaning, picked up some stuff for dinner. I helped at my parents' restaurant around lunch, one of the waitresses hurt her ankle." She smiled as she began to fix her husband a cup of sake as he fixed his food, "I see, I hope it wasn't too stressful. I know you haven't worked there much since we married." He gave her a warm smile, taking his massive cup (practically a bowl given how much bigger he is) from her hands before pressing a kiss to her forehead as thanks. "It wasn't too bad; things have been going well and they plan to hire some people for part time. Which means I won't have to help too much more often. Which is why I wanted to talk to you about something…" She blushed some, hiding her face in the bowl of soup she was eating from as she sipped some of the broth. Raiden had sipped his sake after taking a bit of some cooked beef, raising an eyebrow at her as his own blush spread at seeing her act so shy. He loved how sweet she could be, she looked cute when she was flustered or shy and it made him want to hold her like a puppy. "Of course, we can talk about anything. Is something bothering you?"
(Y/n) took a moment to stuff a large bite of rice into her mouth, buying herself some time to go over the words she had rehearsed in her head earlier in the day. Taking a deep breath, she placed her chopsticks down and turned to face him, Raiden couldn't help but chuckle at how serious she looked despite having a few grains of rice at the corner of her mouth. "I wouldn't say there is anything wrong but… I think we may finally be ready." Her words were softly spoken, Raiden had finished the sake in his cup (bowl) and sat it down when she finished her sentence. At first, he wasn't sure what she meant, but then he recalled the conversation they had the night of their wedding. At the time (Y/n) was afraid of being a mother, so after consummating their marriage they kept anything intimate somewhat controlled to avoid an accidental pregnancy. She had been worried about adjusting to her new life and about his work, she was worried that given his schedule she'd be left to parent the child mostly alone and was afraid that she may mess up or become overwhelmed and do something she would regret. Of course, Raiden assured her that because she was logically worried about this new situation, he knew she would be ok, but had promised to wait til she came to him to take that next step. Though after these last 5 months she had adapted easily, his schedule wasn't as bad as she feared, and she had begun speaking to some of the local mothers to get their advice and the older women had been quick to welcome her and guide her. Teaching and demonstrating some of the basics as well as teaching her how to step back when she was overwhelmed, how to safely handle any stress when dealing with a baby. This had done wonders for her confidence; he had noticed her more set in stone demeanor but had just thought she was simply relaxing into their new life together. "Are you sure? We don't have to jump into it, I'm willing to wait however long you need so don't think-" His words were cut off when her small hand cupped his cheek, giving him a calm smile. "It's ok, I've been thinking and talking to some of the village moms… and I'm ready now. Please Raiden, let me have your child." Her heartfelt plea made him smile wide, his large hand came up to brush the back of his knuckles against her cheek and using his thumb to wipe away the rice by her mouth. "I see, well what kind of husband would I be to deny my wife that which belongs to her. Tonight then, we'll start on our family." He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, her cheeks a cherry red as she closed her eyes and nuzzled into her hand. "Alright then, I'll get cleaned up after dinner then and meet you in the bed." She opened her eyes but looked away, feeling bashful at the inclinations of this promise. It would be their first time together fully as one since their honeymoon. "Take your time, I want you relaxed and comfortable cause we'll be busy for a while.~" He had practically purred at her with a wink, chuckling loudly as she became so flustered, she spun to face her food once more and tried to hide her red face behind her hair. He couldn't wait to see her waddling around their house, hold her stomach for her in his large hands the way he had seem some of the other more loving husbands do for their wives when they have to stand a while. It was something so simple yet intimate, he wanted to experience everything with her. She was the love he chose; she was his ultimate peace in this tempest called life.

PDA !
ft. Albedo, Alhaitham, Ayato, Tartaglia, Dainsleif, Diluc, Heizou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scara, Thoma, Xiao, Zhongli
read a post a while ago about pda headcanons and wanted to expand on that topic... I think it was this one. please please please check it out, it's very well-written and it features Cyno too, who I can't write at all 😭
anyways, I won't write for a bit because I'm gonna be travelling for around 2 weeks, so I'm sorry if I won't write more fics/hcs!!
cw : contains mentions of random person making suggestive comments + hitting on reader
image credit!
and finally, as always, thank you for reading :)
++++
Ayato, Tartaglia, Heizou, Kaeya, Thoma
He loves loves loves PDA. Hand-holding, hugging, kissing - he's very affectionate, and he makes it known that you're his. Can get protective, especially if he's making it obvious that you're dating and some person is still hitting on you. Don't worry, you won't see them ever again, so no need to fret! Likes putting his large hand on your thigh when you sit down at a bench or a restaraunt, and just stroking it with his thumb, but he doesn't mean anything suggestive unless you want him to. Will peck the tip of your nose from time to time, it's his way of checking in and making sure everything's okay :)
Albedo, Diluc, Kazuha, Zhongli
He's a little more shy with kisses, but still doesn't mind PDA like hand-holding or hugging. You two actually have a system in place when you're holding hands, in which you communicate by squeezing the other's hand - one squeeze means 'dont worry', two mean 'i love you', etc etc. His cheeks immediately turn pink if you bring your intertwined hands to your lips and kiss his hand 🤭. He loves hugging you though, and it's sort of a ritual between you two to hug each other as hello and goodbye. But don't worry, if you want a kiss in public, go ahead, he'll shower you with them once you get back home anyway.
Alhaitham, Dainsleif, Scara, Xiao
Straight-up dislikes PDA. I mean, he'll do small gestures like linking your pinkies together (which he actually likes because it's cute n all) and hello hugs, but he's not a fan of kissing at all. Teasing is definitely off the table. He still does get jealous - if someone's hitting on you, they're a goner. A week after they made a disgusting joke to your face, they disappear under mysterious circumstances. He also thinks that his affection should be viewed solely by you, because all of his affection is meant for you. Or he's just super super shy, and maybe not adjusted to displaying affection to you in general.

SP and I have been seeing each other since January. We go to restaraunts and sometimes we have play date, but those are almost always at hotels because we both have families at home which means zero privacy. That gets really expensive sometimes so we can't always do it. And sometimes we just don't want to hang out in a restaurant for hours at a time. I have been waiting for warmer weather so we can spend some time hanging out outside and just be together. For our date this week I bought some solar powered lights and got cushions from my room and made the back of my van a comfy place to rest. We went to dinner and then parked facing a local, large pond and talked while we watched it rain. It's hard to get more perfect than this.

revelations in hawaii - jack hughes.
Tumblr media
Warnings: talks of racism. swearing.
Word Count: 2.6k +
────────────
daphne landeskog is the adopted younger sister of colorado captain, gabriel landeksog. and after his relocation to the us, she decided she would go to school in nyc. so she accepted her acceptance at columbia university and was majoring in political science, with a minor in journalism. she had hopes of either returning to europe and settling in london or make the big decision of staying in new york or moving to washington dc. she knew that either way, she would be happy. however, she was more drawn to staying in new york because of her boyfriend of 3 years. she met jack at a party in new jersey one weekend, visiting some friends of her roommates. they have been dating since 2019, the year he came into the league. though they were extremely young - they knew they were the one's for one another.
despite them being together for 3 years almost, she had yet to tell her brother. in particular, who he was. yet, nobody really knew besides jack's sibiling/parents and some of his friends and hers. he wanted to protect what they had, especially against ignorant and close minded people. besides, the two had barely met up with one another anyways so it wasn't that difficult. mel had somewhat of an idea of who it might be, because of how secretive she always was when gabe came to town to play the devils. though daphne never gave any verbal confirmation, mel saw the subtle glances and texts that she sent when they watched the game together. it was a standing tradition for mel to fly to watch the new york games and new jersey game, when the avalanche came to town. mel didn't know who, but she would figure it out soon enough.
daphne was laying on her and jacks' hotel room couch in hawaii. it was now by week and the two had jetted of to the state of coconuts and the disney hotel. though jack joked he couldn't be caught dead there. she was on her phone, waiting for jack to finish up with his hair, which was taking longer than usual. "ugh come on dude." she yelled jokingly to which jack responded with, "im coming bro." as he walked out. she took a double take at the custom made suit, and walked over to smooth it out. "not bad jacky." she smiled wrapping her arms around his neck. he laid his hands on her lower back, admiring her effortless yet chic dress. "looking beautiful as always." he smirked pecking her lips quickly. "lets get a move on chief." he smiled pulling her along out the hotel room door. they took a slow stroll towards the restaraunt on the property. taking in the warm, dusk breeze that was rolling on through. they walked towards the hostess, and was seated not a moment later. where they spent the next two hours enjoying carribean food and yummy dessert.
────────────
it was 9 am the next morning when gabe was taking a stroll with mel on the beach. they walked along the shores of maui, taking in the morning sun. they were walking along the beach facetiming gabes' mom when he heard a familiar voice. he looked to his left, searching for the voice. "gabe?" his mom asked, trying to regain his attention. mel followed the voice and she immeditely starting freaking out. "hun - look!" she said pointing towards the voice. daphne yelled for jack to come back to put some more sunscreen on his face. "jack rowden!" she said playfully, giving him a mocking glare. he grinned, jogging back up to the girl and allowing her to spray his face. "there, now you may go swim." she mused, pushing him away. he winked at her before setting back off for the water. gabe stood their, looking dumfounded while mel smiled widely and took the phone from gabe. "we found your daughter." she mused, flipping the camera to show daphne. "oh yes! she said something about taking a girls trip to hawaii for the weekend." she said matter of factly. "oh well, it doesn't look like one." mel responded giggling. "wait what?" her mom asked, and mel grabbed gabe's hand. "no, it look's like she's with a boy." she mused, as she flipped the camera back to them. gabe was still watching the scene unfold. "did you know about this mama?" he asked. his mom didn't speak for a few seconds, "she told me awhile back she was seeing somebody but didn't tell me who." she responded and gabe seemed like he was gonna burst. "Oh gabriel, don't make that face. it's not the end of the world." she said and that's when gabe figured out who the guy was. "jack hughes?" he said confused. "that name sounds familiar." his mom said, "what do you mean?" gabe asked looking down. "she said something when she was here during the summer. it was on her phone, when i was passing her room one day. and i recgonized that she was in new jersey alot though she said her friend had friends there." their mom explained and gabe nodded. "ill talk to you late mama, im gonna go say something." he said and they said goodbye.
daphne sat down on the beach lounger and fixed her sunhat before leaning back and picked up her book for the weekend. she looked up as she saw somebody or somebodies standing in front of her. her eyes went wide with shock for a moment before shutting her book, "oh hey guys. what are you guys doing here?" she questioned. "its by week, so we took the trip just the two of us." mel responded quickly. she smiled widely, "can we pleae meet the boy?" she questioned excitdely. to which gabe rolled his eyes, and looked back to find jack. daphne shot up, "uh, im here with some friends actually." she said trying to get gabe to turn around. too late. jack was walking back up the beach and caught the glare of gabe. he continued to walk up, and then past them to grab his towel. "hey gabe." he said nervously, as he ran the towel through his hair a few times. "jack." gabe said giving him a curt nod. "hi! im melissa, but you can call me mel." mel said putting her hand out for the young boy. he smiled politely, "hi mel, im jack." he said. ofcourse jack was calm and collected, daphne thought. she smiled when he pressed a kiss to her cheek and stated that he was going to get some iced coffee and that he'd be back. as soon as he was out of ear shot, daphne looked nervously to gabe. "i-" daphne was cut off by gabe. "please tell me this is new." he said. she swallowed and looked down. gabe breathed in a huge breath. "how. long." he stated. she looked at mel before responding, "um- three years this weekend actually." she confessed. gabe ran a hand through his hair. "three years daphne? three fucking years and nothing?!" he said frustrated. "im sorry." she said, trying to hold back tears. "no! sorry wont cut it." he said before walking off. "ill talk to him." mel said hugging her quickly and then walking off to follow him.
daphne sat back on the beach chair and rubbed her eyes. "daph?" jack said as soon as he sat down. he was very concerned as he saw her body language. "darling are you okay?" he questioned pulling her into his chest. she sniffled as she shook her head no. "he's mad." she said before sobbing. her only sibiling was mad at her, she just didn't understand. "im gonna go back to the room." she said a few minutes later, beginning to pull away from jack. "i'll go with you." he said and she nodded, thankful. they walked back to their hotel room, and headed towards the elevator. as soon as they walked out of their room, they saw mel down the hall. she caught sight of the two and walked towards them. they stopped at their room, "he's walking it off. so dramatic for no reason." mel explained and the two nodded. "i shouldn't even have to explain why i've kept it to myself these past few years. why we don't post on social media. he should already know." she said and mel nodded. she understood. jack walked in leaving mel and daphne alone. "let's grab lunch at 3?" mel offered and daphne nodded, and the leaned in for a hug. "talk to you later." daphne said before walking in the room.
daphne sat down at the table waiting for mel, but that wasn't mel's plan. gabe walked into the french restaurant and spoke to the hostess and then she led the way to daphne. daphne looked up and saw gabe, and as soon as she was about to get up, gabe put his hand up. he sat down across from her, and daphne shifted in her seat. "don't go." he said softly. she looked up from her plate, catching his eye. she nodded, before sipping her water. gabe ordered his go to drink, and daphne ordered an arnold palmer. they ordered a charcuterie board and some bread. they thanked the waiter and they sat in silence for a few minutes. "im sorry." gabe started, startling the girl. she cocked her head to the side, furrowing her eyebrows a bit. "i over reacted and im sorry for that. i understand why you haven't said anything privatley and publicly. im not naive, and i apologize for making you uncomfortable or upset." he finished. she nodded, swallowing. "thankyou gabe. even though i felt the need to 'hide' my relationship, i didn't need to hide from you or mel. you guys deserve that respect. i've kept mama and papa in the dark for almost three years as well and that was wrong of me. it honestly made things easier, when i didn't go home during the summer or atleast didn't have extended periods there." she paused as the waiter came back up with the food. "however, i was terrified. our relationship hasn't been easy when we are in public. so i didn't want to let people in, especially via instagram and twitter. we've been heckled and talked to when we go out places. or if i leave to use the washroom or something, people have come up and told jack that he shouldn't be with somebody that wasn't white." she paused sniffling and gabe reached across and grabbed her hand. "i wanted to tell you guys so badly, i really did." she added. "but after we told some people in jacks life just because somebody told somebody in a groupchat and like, he had to drop those people because they said rude things about me and our relationship. and so after that, i decided to keep things private. because i was afraid somebody might say something on the avalanche. i didn't want it spreading." she finished. he shook his head, "dont apologize, no explanation needed. i appreciate your honesty though, ill need that list so i can take care of things on the ice though." he said half joking at the end. she grinned before shaking her head.
the sibilings spent the next two hours talking, catching up, talking about jack and his family. "dude, i seariously think jack is the one though." she said towards the end of the lunch. gabe took a double look at his younger sister before smiling. "really?" he questioned, a look of pure awe. she nodded, "yeah, i don't see myself with anybody else. and even though we are young we talk about it a ton." she mused. gabe smiled, smiling widely. "his family loves me and i adore them. and i know everybody will love him. ive decided to bring him home for a month this summer. the minute i told him, he immeditely booked our flights." she said laughing. "and actually, jack really wants to meet with you. he wants to talk, hang and get to know you. and if you can, that would mean so much." she added. gabe nodded, "ofcourse, how about we all meet up for dinner at the mexican restaurant at 8? and then jack and i can meet at the hotel bar at 6:30?" he said typing away on his phone. she nodded, and they walked out of the restaurant.
the time was 8:15 pm and the guys in question had yet to arrive to dinner. mel and daphne, ordered appetizers and some drinks, waiting for them. "gabe told me, that you said he was the one." mel smirked sipping her vodka cranberry. daphne blushed as she sipper her spiked arnold palmer. "yeah..." she mused. "love that. im so excited to talk to him!" mel said giddily. daphne playfully rolled her eyes, "go figure! you literally would of figured out things if we weren't having this, somehow someway." daphne laughed and mel gave her a knowing look before winking. a second later they heard two guys laughing and they were drawn to the sound. they saw jack and gabe laughig about something. the two were definetly intoxicated, but at the point where they could still hold a conversation. but they looked relaxed and looked like they were having a good time. "hi guys!" mel said smiling, trying to stifle he laugh. gabe leaned down and pecked mel. jack did the same once he sat down. he grabbed ahold her hand and brought it to his lap. "have fun?" she asked leaning closer. he smirked, "you had not reason to be nervous." he smirked before pecking her again. they pulled apart, as the waitress came back up to get the two guys' drinks. "stick with water, this round." mel cut in and the two playfully leand back and pouted. "yeah, we don't need any chaos." daphne joked to which mel pointed at her. "well, dig in. we didn't order this many appetizers for them to go to waist." daphne said taking a tortilla chip biting a piece off. "yes, please!" mel added and the two hockey players dug in.
the dinner went smoothly and the four got on very very well. which meant that ej and his fiance had some rivals in the dinner date department. jack and daphne walked back into their room, and she quickly tore off her heels. she adjusted back to her usual 5'4 height and headed straight for the bathroom to wash her makeup off. "hey hun!" she called out, and a minute later he walked in ready to help her. "can you grab my zipper?" she questioned and he nodded unzipping her dress. she smiled thankfully, about to reach over for the robe. he wrapped his arms around her from behind and looked at her through the mirror. she smiled placing her hands on his, "hi honey- everything ok?" she questioned and he nodded smiling. "yeah, yes. everything is good, just admiring my girl." he said before placing a kiss on her shoulder. "i love you so so much, today just confirmed it once more." he mused and she nodded unsurely. "don't get sappy on me right now, i need to take my makeup off first." she joked and he chuckled a bit. he untied his arms and began to walk into the master room, but before he did he turned around at the door. she quickly tore off her dress and put on the hotel robe. he turned around as she wrapped tied it. "im gonna marry you someday, y'know that right?" he asked startling her. she froze, and looked towards the man grinning. she slowly smiled before nodding. "uh huh." she stated before going to grab her double cleanser. "well- expect something to happen. soon." he said non chalantly before walking out. daphne's eyes went wide, "jack rowden hughes- you can't say things like that and just walk away!" she playfully screamed, going after him.

difficult to see under all the stuff but tonight’s dinner were homemade lentil meatballs with zoodles topped with homemade pesto and dollops of ricotta 🍝 made in memory of this veggie meatball appetizer i used to get all the time at one of the restaraunts i worked at
today i got a lot done!!! i’m happy with myself. i finished my phd proposal and have until monday until my mentor can provide feedback, so until then i will be compiling lists of potential advisors to send it to. i will also need to direct my attention fully to my masters proposal and make my advisors edits so i can send it to my committee ahead of our upcoming fall meeting. my head has been swimming jumping between my potential phd topic and my thesis topic, they are so different haha. i am feeling very optimistic though, i’m extremely proud of my phd proposal, especially because the idea is entirely my own and i think very valuable.
i have my first real work trip coming up!! going to a conference in florida at the end of september (i know, ew florida) but i am excited to go to the beach in the fall. my flights got booked today which makes it more real! also i got a year long fellowship last week which is exciting because i will have a cohort of other grad students for my last year of my masters which will be really nice :))

So, okay, I made a post a bit about this yesterday, but I've had a lot of thoughts since then and a useful conversation with my therapist. So. Complaining about dyspraxia below
I haven't been formally diagnosed with dyspraxia. It's actually pretty much the only diagnosis I've given to myself without at least medical confirmation. But I've given it to myself based on both a lot of research and comments I have received from medical practitioners (e.g. my pediatrician commenting on my weak grip, not meeting developmental milestones on time, comments from teachers, etc). And today my therapist said she's pretty sure I have it based not just on what I've reported but what she's observed in the way I physically interact with the world over the years, so that was helpful and validating. And we contacted my doctor today to hopefully get a referral to an OT, who will be able to actually assess me, which would be very cool. Because I still doubt myself all the time and go "you don't really have this" except like...I do though lol.
Part of the reason I doubt myself about it is that it hasn't had that much impact for many years. But recently, that has changed, and I've realized that it's not that I got better, it's that I went on disability and stopped trying to do a lot of things I used to do and spent like all day on my computer and got assistance with most physical tasks. I'm doing much, much better mental health wise lately, which is amazing, and as a result I'm engaging more and more with the physical world around me, whether that's going on walks or to the grocery store or cooking or dressing nicely or eating in restaurants or trying art or whatever. Which is great!
But it's all. so. fucking. physically. difficult. Not in an exhausting way, in a coordination way. Pushing carts at the grocery store? I bump into things constantly and get really overwhelmed by it and a few weeks ago dropped a glass bottle of olive oil that shattered all over the aisle in the store. Cooking? I love to cook, but it takes me at least 2 to 3 times the time to make any given recipe because I know myself and know I can't multitask so I do all the prep all at once up front, and slowly at that bc cutting vegetables is hard. Putting on makeup? Better set aside 10 minutes just to try to put on lip gloss without going outside the lines. Going to a restaraunt? Often a mortifying experience where I a) bump into other tables and/or b) have food all over my shirt by the end of the meal, which is so embarrassing but I've struggled with it my whole life. And it's just. It's all really really difficult and often I feel so ashamed when I drop something or bump into something or get messy or whatever in public and it just...it just sucks. And I get so so so frustrated and flustered and overwhelmed when I'm trying to do basic tasks at home like hanging up clothes or whatever and it's just so difficult and frustrating for me.
And I had forgotten how hard it all was because for years I just spent all my time on my computer. But I'm not doing that now. Which is great! But I trip and stumble and knock into things and get lost outside and can't do the things I want to do and I'm just constantly reminded that the physical world is very challenging for me. My probable dyspraxia has really been interfering with my life lately in pretty significant ways that have surprised me, I had kind of forgotten how frickin hard it makes a lot of things. I consider myself able bodied for the most part but I'm remembering now that like...not exactly 100% actually. And it just kind of sucks. A lot.
The good news is that as I mentioned, we contacted my GP about it and hopefully I'll get an assessment and maybe even some OT and/or PT, which could hopefully really help me. Because I'm trying very hard to recover and regain some independence, and this is proving a more significant challenge towards those goals than I had expected.
