So, do you think that Apollo did those please-notice-me-please dances that male birds do to attract females, when noticing/looking at his lovers or getting a crush on someone and trying to get their attention, with his wings
Or, was he tidying himself up to look more pretty and nice instead
Or both

Jacaerys Velaryon
Finding Out
Jacaerys has the audacity to look shocked when the Maester tells him that you’re pregnant, like the two of you haven’t been fucking like rabbits ever since you got married
No seriously—he literally freezes and just kind of…stares with an unreadable expression on his face
Just sort of wide-eyed, in shock before he finally snaps out of it and briskly walks away without another word
He’s not really sure what to do, or how to react to be honest. And it might take a few days for him to come around, but he will eventually
Bonus: Rhaenyra sees his reaction and she’s like Jacaerys, what did you expect?
And he’s like: Not this
And then she’s like: Well did you pull out? Ask for moon tea? Something??
And Jace is just like staring at her like: No? Why would I do that?
Like boy what did you expect when you literally nut inside your wife every single time
During Pregnancy
Once he does come around though, Jacaerys will be so protective. I’m talking like he barely let you out of his sight, and makes sure that everyone knows you’re pregnant
Like they can’t already tell, he’ll constantly tell people that you’re carrying his heir and that they need to be careful with you
Even the Maesters who literally know what they’re doing get a scolding by the future king if he thinks they’re being too rough
No one is allowed to get too close to you and if they do, Jace will always have one hand on his sword just in case he needs to defend you
He will even better himself at sword fighting, pushing himself to the limits during the hours that he’s not with you so that he can always be prepared
For Jacaerys, you being pregnant is sort of like a wake-up call for him, a chance for him to finally rise to his responsibilities and become a bit more serious
He understands the weight of being king now and for Jace, he’ll want to put away all childish things so that he could become the man you and your child need
Giving Birth
Oh my god he’s so supportive
I’m talking like this is a man that will get behind you and physically hold you while you push
Despite what anyone says, he will be there for the birth of his child and he will be so soothing
Holding you, kissing you, kissing your neck to calm you down, taking the cloth from the Maester and wiping the sweat off of your forehead
Jacaerys’ support of you never ends and he’s constantly telling you how proud of you he is even while you’re screaming your lungs out
He’ll help you breathe and let you squeeze his hand till you break it if that’s what you so desire
Calling you his brave girl and letting out teary laughter when your baby is finally delivered
After Birth
When your child is born, it’s like fatherhood is something Jacaerys is born for
He’s a natural; knowing exactly what to say and how to raise your children even if you are still figuring it out
Seriously, it’s like he has a cheat code or something
If the two of you have a boy, then Jace won’t hesitate to start grooming him to be king and unlike most father’s, he is very involved in his son’s upbringing
Jacaerys will be the one to teach him how to hold a sword, how to ride a horse and a dragon. Jace will be there for his son every step of the way no matter how improper it may seem
Likewise, if he has a daughter, he will be entirely overprotective
If you thought it was bad when she was in the womb, just wait until Jace takes one look at his baby girl
Suddenly, he’s terrified to let her out of his sight; sometimes even holding her on his knee during council meetings. She likes to play with the marble and Jace tries so hard to keep a straight face while also wrestling it out of her hands
Everyone at the meeting will try and pretend like they don’t hear her babbling and like it’s not the cutest thing ever while they’re talking about literal war
Overall, Jace would be prepared to defend you and your children to the death if need be, and he would be such a stern but loving dad
Lucerys Velaryon
Finding Out
Luke doesn’t even notice that you haven’t gotten your moon blood for several months and neither do you, until one day a servant happens to say something and you’re both like: oh shit
Since you both are still quite young you’re not really supposed to be having heirs at the moment. Like Rhaenyra specifically told this boy to not get you pregnant just yet and now he’s terrified of telling her
So yeah, it was an accident and Luke is so nervous he’s literally shaking when the Maester confirms it
But sweet boy, he will do his very best to remain calm and will put on a brave face for you
He’ll act like he’s not scared as well at the prospect of having children so young but on the inside he’s freaking out. He’ll hold your hand tightly and give you kisses to calm you down, keeping his voice from shaking to seem brave
During Pregnancy
Even though it’s a little too soon for the both of you to become parents, Luke will slowly become excited at the prospect of becoming a father
Like he’s so proud, growing to love his child before you’re even four months along
He decides right then and there that he’ll do anything to protect you and his child and swears that no harm will ever come to either of you
While you’re pregnant, Luke will take on every single responsibility so that you won’t be stressed out. He always has you relaxing and content while he deals with all of the hard stuff
And yeah, over the course of the months he will find himself growing up a little
Maybe a little bit too fast, much his mother’s sadness, but Rhaenyra can’t help but love the look of pride of Luke’s face every time he touches your belly. And neither can you
You love when Luke rubs your son or daughter and you especially love when he blows raspberries on your stomach, giggling every time while he coos to the baby or talks to them in High Valerian
It’s a such a sweet moment to witness and many people, sometimes even Daemon, catch themselves smiling or smirking at you and the young prince
Giving Birth
Okay, so Lucerys is now back to being scared shitless
It all started on the day you delivered your child, with Luke sweating and pacing outside of your room while the Maesters attended to you
Your screams severely upset him and he kept pacing back and forth in the hallway, peeking in the room and desperately trying to get a glimpse of you before the Maesters pushed him out
He wants to be there for you so bad, especially since it’s your first pregnancy and you’re crying your eyes out for him
Eventually, he’ll just have to say damn it and force his way in, gathering his courage for his wife. And even though the Maesters tell him that it’s highly improper, he’ll ignore them and will hold your hand the entire way
Whispering sweet praises in your ear and stroking your back while Rhaenyra or your own mother loudly encourages you
He’ll be so worried up until the moment he hears that first cry, and that’s when everything just melts away for Luke and all he can feel is happiness when the Maester hands you your child
After Birth
After your child is born, you and Luke are the absolute best parents
You’re both soft and gentle with your baby, and you’re glowing in a way that Luke just absolutely loves
Both of you have immense pride for your son or daughter and you fall in love immediately despite not even knowing if you were ready yet
You just…jump in and honestly it’s not so bad for you and Luke once your bundle of joy finally gets there
Lucerys especially is thrilled, winning the best dad award for always playing with your child or making up silly games to make them laugh
You love watching him interact with your baby because he’s just so good at it and he doesn’t even realize it
Sometimes, he’ll confess his insecurities that he might not do a good job at raising your kid and you literally have to be like: hold up. Luke you’re doing amazing already
He’d be scared and terrified on where this new adventure would lead but honestly, Lucerys has never been happier and in the end it would all work out
Also, he totally gets so excited when you let him pick out an egg for the baby, just like he did for his brothers
It’s almost like it’s tradition, and every single time Luke knows exactly the right one to choose
Aemond Targaryen
Finding Out
If you’re nervous to tell Aemond, then don’t be
Nine times out of ten he’s so perceptive that he’ll put it together himself and Aemond will be over the moon
He will not stop smiling the entire time the Maesters confirm it, pressing a hand to your stomach and kissing your belly
His reaction kind of throws you off a little bit because you’ve never seen him so excited in his life, but he reassures you that he’s been waiting so long for this moment and now he’s just ecstatic that it’s finally here
During Pregnancy
While you’re pregnant, Aemond hardly ever lets you leave your bed chambers. Nor does he let anyone other than your family or Maesters near you
He’s just so protective and he’s paranoid that something’s going to happen so he wants you to be safe at all costs
He definitely does his own research because it’s not like he distrusts the Maester’s, he just wants to be sure that he knows what they know and more about childbirth in case he has to step in
God forbid your baby won’t come or is stuck upside down—two common themes for Targaryen children. Aemond reads all about it so that he knows different ways of getting the baby out or repositioning it without hurting you
He’ll also read about different birth techniques and decides to teach you to make your labor easier
Making you drink raspberry tea, take walks or stretch to lesson your pain when the time comes
You have to admit, you’re a bit shocked when your husband comes to you and makes you start doing breathing exercises with him
After all, who would have thought Aemond of all people would be so involved and so devoted?
It definitely warms your heart to see though—and no matter how much you want to wave him, you always end up letting him help you because you trust your husband you know more than anything he has yours and your child’s best interests at heart
Giving Birth
Aemond will respect your privacy and will wait outside during your labors, but you better believe he’ll be right there
Listening to every scream and every detail just in case he feels the need to step in
If you really want him to be there, he absolutely will be in a heartbeat. And if anybody tries to stop him he’ll venomously tell them to get out of his way before pushing them aside
As much as he loves his incoming child, majority of Aemond’s focus will be on you and your safety
He’ll make sure everything is going smoothly before he even thinks about celebrating and only then will he finally start to smile, a grin like no other taking over his face when your baby is finally placed in his arms
After Birth
Aemond is a caring yet trusting father
He knows that if his child came from you, they’ll already grow up to be exceptional so he allows them to grow into their own person
He doesn’t hover, but he does care. A lot
He may not show it in every way but if your child wants his attention, they’ve got it. If they want to play with him, he absolutely will. If they want to be comforted? He’s there. They tell him they want some space? Then Aemond is in the next room over, ready to talk when they are
In a way, your children are way for Aemond to heal his own self. To be there as a parent like his never were
Early on, Aemond already swore to you and your babe that he would never abandon you or ignore you when you needed him most
He swore to break the curse his parents placed on him so he is very involved with his kids
He’s also very protective, especially considering what he went through in his childhood. He never wants his child to feel left out so Aemond will go searching for a dragon egg pretty early on
You better believe that thing is burning HOT until the moment it’s ready to be placed in your child’s cradle
And Aemond swears
He swears by the old gods and the new that if they allow his child to have their own dragon he would never commit another sin again, if that’s what it took
And sure enough, Aemond is beyond relieved when your babies egg hatches—the widest grin ever overtaking his face as the baby dragon prances about
You swear—you sometimes joke that it was Aemond’s fiery gaze on the egg that hatched it and not nature
And while that very well may be true, Aemond is just grateful nevertheless that even if he wasn’t delt the best cards, he sure would find a way to rig the game for his children
Anything just to make them happy
Daemon Targaryen
Finding Out
You wish you could say that after having two children of his own, your husband would recognize the signs of pregnancy
But unfortunately Daemon is not a man that concerns himself with that kind of stuff so it’s the Maester that points it out to him
And at first, Daemon is stunned
Like okay—he knows that he never pulls out and that the two of you go multiple rounds a day but pregnant?
He thought that your tits getting bigger was just, well, a huge blessing for him
He can hardly believe his ears or that he’s going to have more children
Briefly, he jokes that he may as well start breeding his own army which causes you to punch his arm
Joke aside though, Daemon is really happy and he will shower you with kisses, laughing slightly at how his seed must be extra strong to stick so fast
During Pregnancy
Daemon is not really much help himself, expect for when it comes to massages or warm baths
Almost every night, to ease your discomfort, your Lord husband will bathe you which is oddly intimate for him, or he will massage your feet and shoulders to soothe some of the pain
Of course, your other activities will remain as well which helps a little the closer you get to birth
Mostly, Daemon will be ordering Maesters around or just simply asking you of your progress from time to time
He really hopes for a boy secretly, and sometimes while you’re sleeping or just barely awake, he will rub your stomach and whisper sweet phrases in High Valerian
Expect Daemon to also already have the names of his children picked out, boy or girl
He might even ask Baela or Rhaena their opinion and let them choose an egg from Caraxes
If he has to be somewhere else where he cannot physically look after you, he’ll also entrust his daughters to keep them informed and up to date on your condition
Giving Birth
Daemon is outside, on the balcony while your screams reach his ears
Truth be told, it’s too much. He can’t be there as much he wants to be—as much as you surely need him to be
After witnessing Laena’s death, childbirth has become quite traumatizing for Daemon so he prefers to remain outside, waiting until a Maester or one of his daughters come to fetch him
Of course, Baela—ever her father’s daughter—scolds Daemon a bit and reminds him that every lady wife needs her husband during such times
But Daemon will not budge, not until Rhaena comes to the balcony with an unreadable expression on her face
At first, Daemon is terrified. He stands, the breath freezing in his lungs as he tries to decipher what that might mean. Your screams had died down…perhaps…
Daemon stands, his heart clenching in chest as he begins to possibly grapple with another untimely death of the one he loved. He prepares himself, but then a wide smile grows on Rhaena’s face and Daemon knows all is well
“My sibling is here. It is healthy, father.”
That’s all Daemon needs. And suddenly, he’s tearing himself away and down the halls, straight to your room where he walks in on the sight of your smiling face and the glowing cheeks of his newborn child
After Birth
You like to give Daemon the benefit of the doubt and say that he spends an equal amount of time with his children
Of course, maybe a little bit more attention towards the baby since he or she does need Daemon more than his adolescent children, but as your child grows up pretty much everything is the same
Baela and Rhaena absolutely adore their new sibling and vice versa. They may be a bit older but you’ll always find the three of them playing together or one of the girls reading them a bed time story
It always warms your heart to see them bond, and Daemon’s too
Though he’ll never admit it, his favorite thing to do is spy on his children and eavesdrop as the girls help the youngest with their Valerian
Or when the three of them are together, somehow still fitting on his lap and Daemon teaches them the history of their house while you sit in the background, smiling
It’s special moments like those that remind you that while you may have married a morally grey man, his number one priority would always be his family
And you know more than anyone that with Daemon around, the five of you would never have anything to fear

THIS IS A VERY AGGRESSIVE WAY OF REQUESTINF SOMERHING BUT ILL GIVE TOU 4 DABLOONS IF YOU WRITE SOME KAYN HEARTSTEEL GETTINT ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASED BY HIS GF BECAUSE SHE KEEPS ACTING ALL LOVELY DOVEY IN FRONT OF THE BOYS TO MAKE KAYN FLUSTERED
✖ Heartsteel!Kayn Getting Embarassed ✖
✖ Word Count: 560
✖ Tags: Established R/S
✖ A/N: Shorter than usual but I think its really cute!!! I love bullying men and making them all PADJASDASDPOASJ??!?/1/!?/1!!! thank you for asking this, feel free to ask for more I LIKE THIS. Embarrassed face ref under the cut.
----
" Hey! Stop! Stop I tell you! This is my last warning!"
Kayn's face was red as you pepper it with kisses, happily sitting on his lap, arms around his neck, ignoring his cries for help. His arms that was once tightly wrapped around your waist now trying to lift you off him.
" Weren't you the one calling me your precious little baby just mere seconds ago?"
" That was before the rest fucking came in!"
You hear Ezreal and Aphelios snicker as you shower Kayn in love. Kayn, audibly groaning, as he tries to stand up from the couch with you still in his hands. In the kerfuffle, you topple onto the couch, pulling Kayn down with you. Now in an even more compromising position as you laugh with him over you. His breathing was a panicked mess, not used to being seen so uncool and weak in front of his bros. With a small tug, you drag him by his literal collar, pulling him down even closer to you as you hug him. You heard him suck in air as your arms wrap around him. Oh no, did Kayn just stop breathing? With his face near yours, you whisper softly in his ears, just for him to hear. You tell him just how much you love him, how important he is to you, and how cute he was like this all embarrassed thinking about what his precious little friends would think when you know they don't mind. You hear him growl your name as he swallows hard. The tips of his ears now also red from sheer, utter, embarrassment as he coughs a little and promptly tries getting up of you. A scoff leaving his lips as he finally sits up, hair and clothes now a mess from the small play fight.
Kayn's hand instantly rises to his face to cover what he could, trying to hide just how red you made him now that he realized everyone could see just how badly he was blushing as he sits up on the couch. His eyes dart between the you still lying oh so cutely on that damned couch, and his friends staring at him with smirks on their faces. Ok in your defense, the other boys couldn't care less about your relationship with Kayn, it was just Kayn himself who had issues being seen all lovey dovey with you, which meant the boys liked teasing him about it all the more. It wasn't that bad to bully the smug rapper every once in a while. Kayn was always the one teasing you in public anyway, this was a well deserved revenge. As you giggle Kayn shakes his head and he mumbles something to you softly.
" You're making my life hard babe don't do that again...I really can't handle this."
He stares at you with such a look of pure vulnerability it left you stunned. Hells you didn't even know Kayn's facial muscles could pull off an expression like that. Now your heart was the one thumping. A soft barely audible apology leaves your lips as Kayn turns to leave the room to calm down. All you could do was sit and stare, doing your best to commit that cute face to memory. Ah it was unfair how in the end, you were the one still left blushing and speechless.
Tumblr media
[[This is the mental image I had writing Kayn's expression hehaoihoiahoaihaohfoihoaiehfoaeihioshdaoi heheheehehehehehe]]

Tumblr media
i. what happens in budapest stays in budapest
“So when are you going to tell him?” Luther’s voice cuts through the buzz of static.
You flinched, with your earpiece nearly falling out at the sudden motion. “I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“She knows what I’m talking about. Right, Ilsa?”
“What? That she’s in love with Benji?” Ilsa laughed in reply. “Oh. Of course she does. I thought everyone knew.”
“Can it,” you snapped, face feeling red-hot. “Last I checked, we were trying to track down an arms dealer. This isn’t the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
“London,” Luther corrected. You could practically hear him smirking. “This is burning slower than that damn White Barn candle I got on sale two years ago.”
You rolled your eyes and slid your gun back into its holster. Children. You worked with children.
But you knew they were right. They always were, but you would carry that admission with you to the grave if you had to. They knew you had fallen long before you did yourself—eight months ago when you were crammed into a tiny motel room in Budapest for a layover. The walls were so paper thin that you could hear Ethan snoring on the other side, and there was only enough room for one measly bed.
“I think the springs are broken,” Benji had pointed out.
“Very broken.”
“Did they forget to give us another pillow?”
“I think so.”
“Okay, you can take the pillow. I don’t need it anyway.”
“Benji, just take the damn pillow.”
“No, you take it. I don’t want you to complain in the morning that you don’t feel well rested.”
“…Fine.”
Just as you were about to drift off, you felt a warm hand squeeze yours and a familiar voice whisper “Sleep tight, I’ll bomb all the bed bugs and bad dreams for you.”
That ended up being the first nightmare-free, peaceful sleep you had in eleven years.
ii. home is where the heart is
Marrakesh right after sunset was unusually peaceful. The lively chatter of the bazaar below was calming down; and the weather wasn’t too hot nor too cold.
You had never seen so many stars like this in your entire life.
“You’re telling me that in all these years of living, you’ve never seen a sky full of stars?” Benji had asked you one evening during a team camping trip. “That’s not called living, it’s called dying.”
“I grew up in a big city, Dunn,” you sighed. “I would do anything for an unpolluted sky.”
“Benji’s inside, if you were wondering,” Ethan explained as he pulled out a seat next to you. “He just got back a few minutes ago.”
“Oh. Okay.”
He exhales and gives you a knowing look. “How long?”
“Ethan, you know I can’t…”
“What’s holding you back?”
“I don’t know, the weight of the world, maybe?” you guessed. “And when you’re constantly moving from place to place it’s hard to settle down and tell someone how you feel. It’s hard to find the perfect time…”
“There’s no such thing as the ‘perfect’ time, Y/N. You just need to find the right time.”
“But I don’t understand. It’s…for the first time in my life, I finally feel like I’m home…he makes me feel at home. But I can’t even say it. What if he doesn’t get it?”
“He will know. Trust me.”
“Who will know what?”
It’s impossible for Ethan to miss the way your face lights up as Benji steps out onto the balcony. He takes this as the opportunity to quietly step away, leaving you two to yourselves.
“Hi,” you say shyly, hands in your pockets.
“Hey, yourself,” he replies.
You step towards him and lean your forehead against his shoulder. He’s surprised at the sudden action but wraps his arms around you anyway, feeling grateful for your presence.
“Thank you,” you mumble against his shirt, though he’s not sure what exactly you’re thanking him for.
“Anytime.”
iii. he definitely is a fallen angel, right?
God, he had to be unreal, you thought as the Seoul skyline reflected off his face and washed him in a glowing gold. He could have just gone through hell and back and still look as if he had descended straight from the heavens.
You couldn’t look away. It was damn near impossible for you to.
You weren’t sure what you did to deserve him; he was far too precious for this cruel world. You walked through the doors of the IMF with eleven passports and a knife tucked against your thigh, not knowing what your future held. Benji, on the other hand, strolled in with the widest grin known to man on his face and eyes sparkling as if he had discovered the eighth wonder of the world. Polar opposites, and yet you’re drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
“Are you alright, Y/N?” Benji’s brows furrowed in concern. “Penny for your thoughts?”
“Just thinking…I really need a drink.”
“Nonsense, you can’t even walk straight,” he stated as he glanced down at your ankle, which had been wrapped up in bandages. “You don’t need the soju to be walking around like a madman.”
“Yes I do.”
“No you don’t.”
“I…”Letting out a shaky sigh, you bite the inside of your cheek until you could taste blood. “They almost got away. I almost jeopardized everyone’s safety and ruined the whole damn operation.”
“No, you didn’t,” he reassured you, “they didn’t get away. And besides…I think you did pretty damn great out there. Taking names, kicking ass, beating that one dude to death with the butt of your pistol…”
Your eyes shone with tears as you glanced over at him, a small smile now on your face. “You really think so?”
“Yeah,” he said softly as he brought a hand up to your cheek. You lean in to his touch and try to ignore the sparks that ignite as his skin brushes against yours. “I really think so. And you know what else?”
“What?”
“I think this calls for a celebration. How does charcoal-grilled KBBQ sound? Then we…we can go to that super cool design plaza north of the Han River and we’ll pretend we’re in another dimension. One where the IMF isn’t sending us on death-defying missions in which bad guys are out for our blood.”
The crinkles around your eyes make their first appearance in what seems like forever, and Benji’s heart warms. “You know me so well.”
“Well, of course. I’ve been trying to.”
He shrugs his jacket off and wraps it around your shoulders before pulling you close. You sink into him even deeper, and for a moment, you can pretend that everything is right with the world.
iv. as the world caves in
You don’t think you’ve ever cried in your life. Not even once.
Okay, maybe once. Twice. The first time was when you passed the field exam and you were so happy that you shed a few tears of joy.
The second time was right now: you watched as a strung-out Benji fought for his life in the hospital. You don't know how long it’s been since you got here, and all you could do now was pray to God that he would wake up.
You felt someone put a soft hand on your shoulder. “Sweetheart, you’ve been here for ages.”
Luther gave you a sad smile as he sat next to you. You swallowed the lump in your throat and closed your eyes.
“Why did it have to be him?”
“I don’t know,” he admitted. “but he’s going to be fine. He always is.”
“I hope…”
“Why don’t you go get some rest? I’ll let you know when he wakes up,” he offered. He could tell you desperately needed sleep. “Try to relax.”
“Okay…”
It’s a solid four hours later when Benji finally stirs awake.
He blinks and rubs his eyes. “Luther…? Hey.”
“You’re awake, that’s good,” he stated. “Your blood pressure has gone up a lot since Y/N gave you her blood. If she didn’t, we’d be shipping your ass off to the funeral home.”
“She did what now?”
“She gave you her blood. Doc asked around but none of our types matched yours, except hers.”
“Oh.”
“I told her she’d pass out if she kept crying after the blood transfusion, but she cried the whole day. She first cried when you didn’t wake up. And now she’s going to start crying because you woke up. She worries about you a lot, you know. So much so that she often neglects her own well-being.”
A strange feeling works its way through Benji’s system. You cared… “Can you tell her I want to see her now?”
“Sure.”
A few moments later, you walk through the door—obvious tear tracks on your face—and sit by his bedside. “Benjamin Dunn, what the hell were you thinking?”
“I wasn’t. Sorry…”
“You almost died.” You looked away and hastily wiped at your eyes. It didn’t help. “I watched you bleed out on the pavement and almost lose your life.”
He doesn’t know what else to say, so he simply reaches out and intertwines your fingers together, squeezing tight. More tears slip down your cheeks. “I’m sorry.”
“I’m just glad you’re not in a body bag,” you choked out. “I’m just really glad you’re not dead.”
“Me too. Now come here,” Benji says, and he moves over on his bed to make room for you. You rest your head against his chest and close your eyes, and he drapes an arm across your waist. “Thank you for waiting.”
You end up falling asleep to the sound of his steady heartbeat.
+i (v). it's always been you
It's hot as hell outside, your clothes are sticking to your skin, and you're sure that one hit would set you on fire.
“Why did we have to go into the middle of the damn Arabian desert?” Benji yells over the howling winds into his comm. He coughs as some sand gets into his mouth. “You can’t even build a sandcastle with this crap. I regret everything I said about disliking being in the van.”
“No idea!” you yell back. You wrap your protective scarves tighter around your head and mouth, and adjust your goggles. A loud bang! makes you flinch, causing you to quickly whip around and pull out your gun.
“Woah there, it's just me,” Ethan raised his hands in surrender. You slowly lowered your weapon. “Did you get the flashdrive?”
You nodded and quickly handed him the small piece of metal. He stores it away in his pocket before zipping it up. “Let's go.”
It takes another hour and a half to round up the whole team and escape safely. The sandstorm was worsening by the second and you would be incredibly lucky to escape relatively unscathed.
You’re breathing heavily as you board the helicopter and take off your equipment, leaning against the wall. You could still feel the man’s hands around your throat, trying to squeeze the life out of you.
The look of fury in Benji’s eyes as he pulled the trigger was permanently burned into the back of your mind. You’d never seen him that angry before—he was nowhere near what you’d call short-tempered. The most upset you’d ever seen him was when Ethan ate the last of his favorite potato chips a month ago. And even then, he didn’t raise his voice.
Benji crouches down in front of you and brings a cold towel to your face. It comes away stained a light crimson, and he tries not to panic. “Are…are you okay?”
“I'm okay,” you exhale. “Thanks for saving my ass out there. If you hadn't gotten there in time…"
“You're welcome,” he replies. “Why is it that we always take turns saving each other from near death experiences?”
“It's all part of the job,” you crack a grin. “Welcome to the IMF, where you go on suicide missions all the time but you're not allowed die. Pretty ironic if you ask me.”
“I know, right?” He sounds like he's going to say something else, but then pauses. Upon peering closer, he sees a series of blue and purple handprint splotches on the sides of your neck. “Y/N…”
“I'm okay, I promise,” you say quickly. “Don't worry about me.”
“I don't get how you can stay so calm in situations like this,” he says, exasperated. “You scare me sometimes.”
“It's no big deal, really.” But your voice cracks, and that's when you finally break down and burst into tears. “I’m used to danger. I just—”
“Hey hey hey, it's going to be alright,” he murmurs as he moves closer to bring you in for a hug, arms snaking around you and holding on as tight as he possibly could. Your tears slowly begin to stain his shirt with dark spots, but he couldn't care less. “You're safe and you're going to be okay. You are going to be okay because I'll be here for you. Always.”
“You promise?”
“Pinky promise.” He holds his pinky out, and you wrap your finger around his. “I swear on my life. I’m here to stay whether you like it or not.”
The words slip out before you could even realize what you were saying.
“God, I love you,” you mumbled against his shoulder, eyes squeezed shut. “More than anything. I should’ve…I really should’ve told you a long time ago. I don’t know why I waited so long to tell you. You felt like home to me and I found comfort in that and I loved you so much for it, Benji. I still do.”
The air suddenly feels heavy and that’s when the weight of what you had said finally sinks in. It feels like an eternity of awkward, strained silence all around before he opens his mouth to reply.
“I love you too,” he says, “Always have.”
And as your lips touch, all the aches and pains and barely-recovering broken bones seem to disappear. You can’t even remember why you were so upset in the first place because you’re safe here with him and he’s finally, finally kissing you, and all you really need to think about is the fact that the man you truly loved and needed more than anything had been right here all along and it was perfect.
The ride home is a long one, so you allow yourself to relax in his comforting arms and drift away to a distant dreamland. Ethan gently nudges Luther in the shoulder, motioning for him to take a glance back at the sight.
“You owe me twenty,” he reminds him with a toothy grin.

Class 1-A Reacting to Playing 7 Minutes in Heaven with Their Crush
A/N: For future reference, these are everyone in Class 1-A that I will write for. I’m sorry I don’t write for Midoriya I JUST CANT GET INTO HIM. Didn’t include Momo or Uraraka but I do write for them! Just got tired and repetitive writing this
Tumblr media
Shoto Todoroki
⁃ He seems just as calm as ever when Mina draws his and your name out of the hat. Despite some teasing from some of the boys, he keeps his composure and opens the closet door for you
⁃ He totally makes it super awkward, like he just calmly stares at you and you fidget under his eyes
⁃ “What are we supposed to do?”
⁃ “O-Oh! Well, Uh…usually people kiss and stuff but we don’t have to do that!”
⁃ “I see. Do you not want to?”
⁃ Boy is clueless and makes you flustered without even realizing it
Katsuki Bakugo
⁃ As soon as he sees your name drawn from the hat, he yells that this game is stupid and he’s not playing
⁃ But Kirishima and Kaminari know he’s been crushing hard on you since the two of you were paired together for training, so they drag his ass over to the closet and lock him in with you
⁃ He’s banging on the door and screaming threats at them all, meanwhile you’re standing in the tight space right behind him
⁃ Eventually he gives up yelling at those bastards, and crosses his arms and glares down at you. Because apparently that was his way of being appealing-
Tenya Iida
⁃ His heart skips a beat when his name is pulled with yours, but those are the rules of the game and he already agreed to the conditions!
⁃ So he doesn’t fight going in with you, but he’s stiff as ever once inside. He’s standing up completely straight with his arms tightly at his sides, a blush on his face that he was glad you couldn’t see due to the lack of light
⁃ He’s literally sweating waiting for the clock to run out. He knows traditionally people kiss while in the closet, but dude is so stiff and awkward if you said anything you were afraid he’d snap in two
Eijiro Kirishima
⁃ BBY BOY
⁃ He’s trying not to show it, but he is so giddy and happy when Mina pulls his name after she pulled yours
⁃ She gives him an encouraging smile and two thumbs up as he walks past her to the closet, letting you go first because he’s a gentleman like that
⁃ He’s actually brave and bold enough to ask if he can kiss you, to which you happily accept cause D U H
⁃ Kaminari totally opens the door a little early to catch you two making out, which Kirishima yells at him for cause THAT WASN’T VERY MANLY, GIVE HIM SOME PRIVACY
Denki Kaminari
⁃ Oh boy. Dude is grinning from ear to ear, he’s not even trying to hide it. Winks at you from across the room as he makes his way towards the closet, fist bumping Kirishima and Sero along the way
⁃ As SOON as that closet door shuts, he’s initiating his flirting
⁃ “So babe, wanna get this show on the road? I don’t mean to brag, but the ladies love these lips of mine~”
⁃ But then when you kiss him he accidentally shocks you, cause he talks a big game but is actually flustered when you kiss him first
⁃ When the times up, he walks out of the closet all dazed and giddy looking like a damn fool as usual
Sero Hanta
⁃ He’s chill, he’s suave, he’s got this!
⁃ Spoiler alert, no he doesn’t
⁃ Makes an absolute fool of himself while stuck in there with you. Probably falls and knocks shit over, and trips and accidentally smacks your heads together on his fall down
⁃ He’s trying to apologize but dude is so nervous and flustered already, but you just giggle cause it’s actually kind of cute
Mezo Shoji
⁃ HE FEELS REALLT BAD CAUSE DUDE IS SO BIG HE TAKES UP MOST OF THE SPACE AND YOU’RE SQUISHED AGAINST HIM
⁃ Feels ashamed and embarrassed about it, he thinks he’s annoying you and frustrating you
⁃ But truth is you always thought he was really sweet and kind, so you didn’t mind being practically caged between all his arms
⁃ If you want to kiss, you have to intimate it cause poor BBY is too scared you’ll reject him or call him gross or something
Ojiro Mashirao
⁃ Oh this man is so flustered and nervous, poor dudes shaking like a leaf cause he’s both excited and dreading this
⁃ He doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable at all so he’s trying to keep as far away from you as possible. Then he worries you’ll think he doesn’t like you so he kind of relaxes
⁃ Time is going so slow, he’s trying to find the courage to say something but HE IS SO NERVOUS RN
Tokoyami Fumikage
⁃ Acts super nonchalant and like he doesn’t care, but he also kinda sucks at hiding when he’s shocked
⁃ So when your name is pulled out after his, his eyes go wide and he tries to play it off and say he’s just not interested in playing to begin with, but some of the guys shove him towards the closet anyways
⁃ Obviously dude has a beak and can’t kiss, so he’s just got his arms crossed and leans against the opposite side of the closet from you
⁃ Then Dark Shadow pipes up loudly and HE IS SO EMBARRASSED AS HE YAPS ABOUT TOKOYAMI WANTING THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED, which makes you giggle cause you find it really cute honestly
Mina Ashido
⁃ She is SO EXCITED
⁃ She’s not very subtle at all, grabs your hand and practically runs to the closet, all with a huge happy smile on her face
⁃ “This is gonna be great! Is it okay if I kiss you? Cause I wanna kiss you!”
⁃ She’s getting right to the point, okay? She doesn’t want to waste any time cause she was hoping she’d draw your name with hers
Kyoka Jirou
⁃ Oh she’s super nervous, her face is bright red and she’s fidgeting with her earphone jacks like she always does when she’s nervous
⁃ As soon as you’re both inside the closet, she’s very quiet and all you hear is her aux jacks clicking together
⁃ You have to initiate any sort of interaction with her, poor girl is too panicky to do anything about it. She’ll feel more comfortable as you two continue to talk, she’ll slowly relax and gain a bit of confidence

Leo/Frank/Reyna with an autistic reader?
Autistic Reader 
((I unfortunately don't know much about Autism but I did my best! I did do some research so I hope it's alright!))
Leo Valdez
-Leo does his best to be supportive but he has a million things going through his brain. Unfortunately you like things to be done at their exact time and get anxious when they aren’t. 
-”Leo, we’re already five minutes late!” you stress out pacing outside his room. Leo does make his way out, getting his jacket on. But when he goes out and sees you so stressed out he honestly feels bad. He just gets so absorbed in his own work that he forgets about time.
-However Leo decides right there and then that he never wanted to be the cause of your stress ever again. He makes multiple alarms for himself to block out his time. Just as you were about to go complain to Leo about being late, again, you hear him talk by the front door. 
-“Come on love we don’t want to be late do we?” he gives that dorky grin that makes your heart flutter. He really was a dork but you do go over giving him a light kiss that makes him go bright red.
-He isn’t perfect though, he often messes up with realizing you take things very literally. Which he works his best on, but he was known for making jokes and such! He’d never mean it maliciously though! 
-The worst scenario with that was when you were getting ready to join the ares cabin in sword training and Leo called “break a leg!” The stare you gave him really made him realize just how bad he messed up. He quickly starts to explain what the phrase means as he feels guilty right away.
Frank Zhang
-Frank knew anxiety could get bad, he had to deal with it a lot himself. You two had bonded over that when you were younger after all. And now Frank was trying to help you meet his new friends.
-Of course he knew it’d be a lot to meet six other people who all had their own unique personality… So he had warned the group ahead of time that you two might sneak off for a bit to help you relax, promising it wasn’t because of the group.
-Everyone was very understanding. Frank could see you were getting a bit overwhelmed and went to your side smiling softly “Did you want to take a break?” he asks, keeping his voice calm and you nod, taking a shaky breath as you look at the railing of the boat.
-Frank knew you were never one to make eye contact so he never bothered you about it. “Here, there’s a good spot over here.” He leads you over where the chatter dies out and you get to enjoy seeing the ocean.
-You take a few breaths helping yourself calm down as Frank waits, standing at the railing while he waits. He knows when to give you space and you couldn’t have asked for a better boyfriend than him. After calming down a bit you feel guilty about running off from a party that was supposed to be about you making friends…
-”Hey, don’t feel guilty. They all understand.” he promises lightly sitting down beside you as if he read your mind. “Can I hold your hand?” he asks gently. You can’t help the soft smile forming on your face as you nod, holding your hand out for Frank to hold which he gladly takes. You can’t help but think how lucky you are.
Reyna Ramírez-Arellano
-Reyna is very observant, maybe it’s her combat skills but she just knows when something is wrong. She could tell the moment you don’t like something, the moment you’re stressed, or when you’re upset. She could really read you like a book.
-But what she did have problems with is telling your other emotions, which was unfortunate since you had a hard time explaining how you were feeling too. You were also very blunt and honest but she loved that.
-It was annoying having to deal with the other roman soldiers who would go around subjects to spare her or others feelings. She just wanted the truth and you would deliver. She was working on some paperwork and looked over to you. 
-“What do you think of Octavian?” she asks curiously looking at you with a raised brow. You huff at that “I think he’s a jerk and I hate him for sacrificing my stuffed animal.” you say as if talking about the weather, making Reyna grin a bit at that she really did love how honest you were.
- She had to work out something to help you with your emotions, something that would help the both of you. She wanted to be a good girlfriend and be there to support you. But she knew that she couldn’t do it alone so she asked the other seven to help her come up with ideas. 
-She should have just gone to Annabeth first as she printed out something called the emotion wheel. It was a wheel with different emotions on it that would then branch out to more detailed explanations like going from sad, to discourage. Something you could take one step at a time. It’d be perfect.

Tumblr media
“FOLLOW UP MEETING!”
You sat there unaware of the events happening backstage. Meeting your fans was truly a blissful experience if there were more women in your crowd. You tried not to tense up anytime a man went to grab your hand or hand you a present. The only fansign you had previous to this was with your group, and safe to say, the fanbase was primarily women. This was a whole different field for you, your brain kept telling you not to be rude and just try your best to look happy with the compliments you were getting. All their eyes on you stressed you out. Around the end of the fansign your face hurt from trying to keep up your composure.
When you finally got backstage after waving to everyone you took a deep breath. You hated this. You hated the gross comments and perverted smiles the male fans gave you. You were thankful for the other people in the crowd who treated you like a human being, but it wasn’t a lot.
“Y/n!” You looked up and saw Bahiyyih running towards you. Soul not near her.
“What’s going on?” Your jaw slacked as she dragged you to another part of the building. Your confused eyes bouncing around the different area’s corridors. You swore you locked eyes with someone familiar.
Bahiyyih sat you down and started ranting and raving about Soul doing something. You just sat there, eyes welding up with tears. You finally got your solo career and yet, why does it feel this bad. Did your hard work really mean nothing? All your trials and tribulations led up to just being outright disrespected by people who were supposed to be your-
“Soul literally-“
“I am not Soul!” The voice said, your eyes looked up and locked with a very tall guy, his roots blond and the tips almost a black. You recognized him. He was from Enhypen, which meant-
“Y/n are you alright?” The guy knelt in front of you, Bahiyyih went to push him away from you but stopped when a couple tears fell from your eyes.
You blinked them back and looked down at your hand which was now automatically wiping your face, “I’m sorry I don’t know what’s wrong with me…”
Just then two more bodies came into the room…
Soul and Jake…
“Y/n!” Soul rushed over to you. Jake not far behind him.
“Did someone say something to you?” Bahiyyih asked, sitting down next to you. Riki pulled Jake and Soul to the side, telling them to give you space.
You swallowed hard and looked down, “I-“
Before you could speak your manager ran into the room, “what happened?”
“I was disrespected the whole time…” You blinked as if you couldn’t believe what the past tortious two hours involved, “there were barely any respectful male fans and I just had to sit there…” Your manager nodded, listening and kneeling in front of you. He held your hand and tried to calm you down.
“I will talk to people about this alright? We will figure it out…”
You stared down at your hands, your manager got up and said something to your friends and part of-
“Wait.” You looked up and really looked at Jake and Riki, “what are you two doing here?”
Your manager looked at you, “you know them?”
Soul chuckled lightly and Bahiyyih glared at him.
“You can say that, yeah. I’ve known that one a little longer than anyone here.” Your hand rose lightly to point at Jake in the softest way possible. You were always taught that pointing was rude. Jake looked at you silently, the only thing showing emotion was the fact he was blinking rapidly. Maybe you were just emotional at the moment, but it was comforting in a sense that he still had that habit. Your manager nodded before rushing out. Presumably to get a car ready for you to leave.
“What are you guys doing here?” You asked and took a tissue from Bahiyyih.
“Soul invited us!” Riki said and put his arm around your friend. Soul only glared at him in an accusatory manner.
Jake was still looking at you, it was like he had something to say but didn’t know how to word it. For both of you, a million things could be said. But before either of you could say anything, you were swept away by staff as Jake just sat there looking at you.
___
Right when you got back to the BeLift building, immediately you were called into a meeting. This scared you immensely. You just got this job, then had a mental breakdown after a fanmeet, everything about this was a recipe for disaster. You sat in the chair, waiting for your boss to talk to you. Your manager sat next to you and tried to keep calm as well. If you were out of a job, he was out of someone to manage. The room was tense, almost like they were cutting off the oxygen supply slowly and steadily.
When your boss sat down in front of you, he had a smile.
“It’s nice to see you again..!”
You forced a smile back, “very nice to see you too!”
He nodded and set down a folder in front of him, “I am going to cut right to the chase, if that is okay with you? I am busy and so are you.”
“Are you firing me?” You cringed at the thought, your manager tensing up too.
Your boss let out a small laugh, “nonono!” He sat up and looked at you, “I have a deal for you.” He stood up now and pulled up his laptop on the medium sized TV on the other side of the room.
“You see, we could kill two birds with one stone here! You have male fans that make you uncomfortable, no?”
You blinked slowly, “I-I do…”
“And our company has an issue with fans in general!” He pulled up a slide that showed various graphs and photos of tweets, trucks, statements, and more that you didn’t really have time to comprehend, “our idea is simple, you show that you have a public relationship with another idol in this section of the company and 1. Your male fans should lay off you, 2. The fans in general should start to lay off the fact their idols talk to other people.”
Your manager sat up, “so you want Y/n to fake date a random guy she doesn’t even know? You are putting her in a position where she is forced to be around a man she isn’t close with even when she had to sit through-“
“Ah no! You see, when you told us Y/n had friends to talk to after the fanmeet we found the perfect other candidate!” Your boss walked through the door and opened it, practically ushering someone in. You felt your heart stop when you saw it was Jake.
You had to fake date your ex-boyfriend.
“Jake?” You looked at him, he looked at you, almost frozen in place. You assumed they had already told him in a separate meeting. He was stiff when your boss sat him down next to you.
“The plan is, for you guys to go on little dates for a few months, we will let disbatch collect photos well as, sneaking them an insider tip to let them reveal your relationship by New Years.”
Your manager didn’t look too happy, “it’s September. You want them to fake date well into next year? This is immensely messed up, not just for them but also to their fans. This could be a disaster.”
“And if it isn’t a disaster, our boy groups won’t have to worry about not conversing with someone the opposite sex, and Y/n won’t have to deal with as many creepy male fans.” Your boss seemed sure of himself.
“I’ll do it.”
You looked over to Jake who had seemingly relaxed, his eyes focused on the PowerPoint, which now displayed photos of the protest trucks, and now things that were said about you from after the fanmeet. You didn’t want to read them, so you looked down.
“Y/n?” Your boss called up to you, you looked up and saw he was ushering a pen and paper, another contract. You read it over carefully, making sure it was everything he just went over. At the bottom of the page, you saw Jake had already signed it. When you looked over to him, he was looking at you, almost like the same way he did back when you were 16.
You grabbed the pen and signed it. If this is what protected you, and hopefully other people, then you might as well. How bad could this really be?

⋆⁺₊⋆☾⋆⁺₊⋆ stupid boys ⋆⁺₊⋆☾⋆⁺₊⋆
Tumblr media
·:*¨༺ ★ ༻¨*:·.
pairing: kiri x y/n metkayina
warning: no warnings at all, just kiri cursing all the boys
just a short drabble
wanna read part two?
·:*¨༺ ★ ༻¨*:·.
A long time has passed, since the Sully family officially has moved in with your clan. The second Kiri and you started talking for the very first time, you knew you guys would become the bestes friends. Something about her has always fascinated you, maybe it was the way she talked to the animals or how she would always be so calm. But you rather quickly realised it couldn’t be the second one. 
“These boys are so stupid! My brothers, their friends and even the grown ups!”, Kiri rolled her eyes, as the two of you were walking through the forest. You were still very clumsy, when it came to climbing and navigating through the jungle of trees. Kiri was always watching out for you, making sure not to take any complicated routes. “Literally all they think about is mating and finding a woman.”, with fury in her eyes she turned around to face you, walking backwards for a moment. You look at her with a confused expression on your face, slightly tilting your head. “But isn’t it important to find a mate? At least for me, I can’t wait to find one!”, your eyes sparkled a little, which Kiri immediately picked up on.
“Important…”, she frowned, turning around again, ever so slightly brushing the plants and trees around her with her hands. “You know, that’s the problem! You’re looking for someone who will love you for eternity. But man, boys… they want someone who stays home and waits for them to come back from the hunt. They want the food to be ready and served, once they step back into the village. And most important to them is someone who can carry their baby’s!”, with an overdramatised gesture she throws her arms into the sky. You give her a half-smile and try to keep up with her. “Isn’t that what mating is about?”, you ask with a voice full of innocence.
Kiri suddenly stops to look at you, a ‘are you kidding me’ expression covering her entire face. Her mouth is wide open and she looks at you in disbelief. “y/n! I put all my trust into you! how can you disappoint me like this?”, she places her hands onto your shoulders, shaking your entire body. “No! Mating is not about that at all.. at least it shouldn’t be.. It should be about finding that one person who understands you! One person who will always be on your side. Don’t you wanna go on secret little dates, being scared to get caught, because you guys are doing something dumb, but yet so fun?”, She gently pets your hair, looking at you, studying your features.
Her shoulders drop down and she lets out a big sigh, letting go of you and turning around again. “At least that’s what I want.. but it’s so hard to find..”, She nibbled on her bottom lip, closing her eyes for a second. “Oh Kiri, you will find someone! I strongly believe that you will find someone who’s just as smart as you, who will treat you good and take you onto these secret exciting dates.”, You pour a little, feeling sorry for your best friend. Kiri’s face goes blanc, when the imagination of her and her future mate changed.
“And oh, believe me, if he isn’t treating you good I’ll send him to Eywa myself!”, You try to give her an uplifting smile, not exactly taking her rant so serious. Jokingly you take her hand and say: “And you know what! When we both won’t find someone, who will truly love us, by the age of 25, I’ll gladly be your mate!” Kiri looks at you, the color draining out of her face. She thinks to herself:
‘I’ll be scaring of everyone who will come close to you, y/n..
and if you won’t keep your promise, I might just die without a mate.’
·:*¨༺ ★ ༻¨*:·.
authors note: just a short little drabble, but this was too cute not to post :( would give up everything for kiri

hiii!may i ask you for Teru,Akane Aoi(male),hanako x reader they reject now they regret it? I mean if you dont want to or vant i totally get it, you can chillax with this request!
I should've loved you.
Genre : Angst
Characters : Teru, Akane, Hanako
TW : None
A/N : MMMM ANGST I LOVE IT, if I'm gonna be honest with you I was waiting for this kind of request HAHAHHAHSHSHA
I HOPE YOU ENJOY 💗
Tumblr media
False Hope
Teru. Out of all people that you fell for. You fell for Teru, you fell too hard that when you try to get up and over him, it hurt, like a thousand lighting volts going through god it hurt.
"I'm sorry, [F/N].. But I don't feel the same.."
°
°
'W-what?..'
You stood watching as Teru gave you one last glance as he apologized giving you back your home made chocolates for him. I mean, the least he could do was keep it. You worked all week to master making those.
Teru walked away from you. Once he was out of your field of vision you dropped to your knees as your bag strap slid off your shoulder
"Why would you get my hopes up if you don't even like me back?.." Sobbing quietly, you brought your knees up to your face as you cried quietly.
What a great way to start your summer break.
After you've calmed yourself down, you fixed yourself up as you slowly made your way to the back gate.
Hearing the gate squeak as open it, you looked up to the sunset hues as you let the afternoon wind kiss your skin.
"Right. I can't let him make me so moppy and sad the whole summer break, I'll be one of those bad ass koreans after break up I see on my K-dramas!" You cheered cheering yourself up
"Right.. Right, this rejection is just an experience.. O can find someone better.." You mumbled as you walked home
4 months of summer break passed and let's just say, you look WAY different than you did before. Not that I'm saying that you should change yourself for the guy you like, just be yourself.
But what 'LIKE?'
"UWAAHHH, [F/N] I love your hair!! Such a pretty color!!" Yashiro, your best friend says as she touches your hair "So fluffy too! what do you use for your hair?! TT" You giggled at her adorable face
"You grew taller too! you're the same height as Yugi and Yamabuki - Kun!" Aoi says as she placed hair watering can down
"You look great"
"Fuwahh~ you got so [Body goal] [F/N]~"
You were flustered with the many compliments you got from your friends, and classmates as they circled your desk
Thats right, You got a whole glow up during summer break, seeing yourself before just reminds you how Teru got your hopes up and rejected you.
If he ever does end up liking you
Its a bit too late for that.
"[F/N]! Someone is looking for you!" Your head perked up by your name being called, you stood up as you walked over to the door to reveal
"Teru?"
"Hey [F/N], its been awhile has it?, come I wanna catch up with what you did at summer break" Teru gave you one of his signature smiles that can literally blast a ray of light into everyone
But it has no effect on you now
"Sure, where are we gonna go exactly?"
Teru hummed as he just walked infront of you making you follow behind. None of you uttering a word, only the sound of your shoes against the concrete floor and the chirping of the birds.
"Soooo.. How was summer break Teru?" Breaking the akward silence, well you didn't know if it was akward for Teru but for you it was at your throat already
"Mmm.. It was alright, went swimming and traveling a little, over all it was quite the fun summer break, how about you, how was summer break for you?" You sat down on the benched as you looked in a distance your eyes landing on the very spot where you confessed, and got rejected, you cringed a little.
"Well.. It was fine I guess, I did some things I wasn't too confident to do.. Like trying something new or improving something of myself, overall I'd say I spent those 4 months pretty good" You moved your head to face him to see he has now sat beside you. Sat a little too close.
Teru rested his arms on his legs as he looked at the ground "During those 4 months.. I was thinking of your confession."
'Ah shit.'
Teru nervously turned to you, he wanted to say something else but Yashiro walked around the corner
"Ah! Sorry Minamoto-Senpai but class are starting and I need [F/N]" Yashiro said trying not to stutter, You stood up and streched your arms up "Alrighty, see you later Teru" You let Yashiro drag you off to steam off after seeing her puppy crush.
Teru sat in silence as he sighed heavily leaning his head back
"I should've said that I liked you back.."
Back there, you could see the regret in his eyes. Not only in his eyes, but the way he talked and acted around you.
Something about that made it look like an achievement for you. Seeing the guy who rejected you and regret doing such things. He was now the one that felt the One-sided love.
It seemed somehow.. pleasant.
Tumblr media
Brutal Reject
"How many times do I have to explain and show you that I am not interested in you, the countless of times you stuffed my locker and desks with gifts. Its annoying. " Akane said as he slightly shoved your gift bag in your hands making you stumble a little. "Everyone knows my love and attraction towards Aoi-chan, and I sure hope your head could be less thick to understand that."
You stood silent as your hair covered your teary eyes, Akane walked pass you probably to go to Aoi to confess his love.
Isn't what your doing also his doings? continously confessing to Aoi until she accepts his confession? annoying he says. You also hoped he could be less thick headed to also see or maybe know if Aoi is also annoyed by the confessions.
You wiped your teary eyes and stomped to the nearest garbage can to shove your gift down the trash "T-this.. was dumb.. I knew he wouldn't like me back.."
Your bad luck was rocketing sky high this past week, but of course this bad luck can't always stay with you forever. Good karma will come.
A few weeks after your 'confession' to Akane. Aoi called you and Yashiro by the canteen to tell you both something important.
"W-WOW Aoi-chan I didn't know you took a liking to Hiroshi-senpai" You and Yashiros mouth agape as Aoi hugged Hiroshi's arm "Mhm! Akiro and I have been exchanging letters for awhile now, so we decided to talk and now here we are~" Aoi giggled as Akiro lovingly holds her hand
"wahhh~ I'm so jealous~" Yashiro says as she cups her cheeks
"Dont worry Nene-chan! someone will definitely ask you out! oh and you too [F/N]~"
"Pshhh... Nah I don't think so"
You saw a bit of red off the corner of your eye. Without being obvious you moved your eyes to the side to see Akane with clenched fists as his head was hung low
'He just can't get enough of her now can he'
"Ah! Akane-kun! meet Akiro, my boyfriend~" You and Yashiro turned to look at him as he forced a smile and shook his hand "Ah, you must be Aoi Akane, I'm Hiroshi Akiro it's a pleasure to meet you"
"Sure is.."
"We should eat before the bell rings—"
"AH MY BENTO I LEFT IT IN THE CLASSROOM"
Surely, but slowly. You were getting over Akane day by day, you even got yourself a little glow up. Not too much just a few changes with yourself to satisfy this generations preferred aesthetics.
Also, you are taking interest in someone else. Someone who ACTUALLY acknowledged your existence and appreciated your presence. You have been talking to this 2nd year that recently joined the gardening club. And let's just say THEY treat you much better.
Just as Aoi predicted, someone did end up asking you out and you were just over the moon.
"Akane. Can I help you?" You looked up from your phone as Akane stood infront of you in the empty halls.
He looked down as he rubbed the back of his neck. He slowly brought something out from behind him. It was a box of chocolates
"This.. Is for you.. Believe it or not, I finally moved on from Aoi seeing how happy she is.. And these past few days you have been catching my attention lately.. I always find myself looking for you or hoping I'd see the slightest glimpse of you in the crowd.. But I know you wouldn't accept these because—"
"That's right, I won't."
Akane stopped in his tracks as he looks at you. The same ANNOYED look HE gave you when you confessed to him.
"If you knew I wouldn't accept, why would you still go out of your way to give me these?"
Silence
"I have finally moved on from you. Aoi Akane. And I don't think I have the slightest attraction towards you anymore.. You had your chance. But you blew it. I've changed for the better, now if you excuse me." You walked around him stopping beside him
"Someone, has asked me out. Someone, who actually appreciates my efforts to let them know im interested in them. Wether they don't like me the same way I do, They still made the effort to make sure my efforts and hard work don't go to waste."
As you walked off to change your shoes, Akane slowly turned around to see you and that 'someone' you were talking about chatting happily. He watched as you two left school grounds hand in hand, with the most loving aura.
"That should've been me..." Akane says as his voice cracks a little, silently sobbing in the empty halls.
Tumblr media
Feelings Played
You have liked Hanako for a REALLLYY long time, You met him when you were still in your first years of middle school!
You were the first to meet him.
The first to get to know him.
The first ever friend he became.
His first ever.. Lover?..
No.. No..
If you were first.. How come you ended up in Second Place?.
"[F/N].. I.. Can't accept this because I don't feel the same way.."
'What?..'
You watched as Hanako gently place your handwritten letter to him back in your hands
Looking at the letter in your hand, you chocked back your tears. "H-hey.. What about those times you said I'd make a good S/O?.. or those times you'd flirt with me.."
"[F/N] I'm sorry.. I.. Didn't mean any of.. those.." His voice going into a whisper. Like that would help not to make your heart shatter into a million pieces?
You clenched your uniform, trying so hard not to cry infront of him. you didnt wanna let him see how vulnerable you were. But isn't it okay to feel vulnerable? after he got your hopes up? how he played with your feelings leading you into something else?
The rustling of trees or the light sounds of cars in the distance was all that the two of you heard as none of you exchanged anymore words
.
"Well.. That's fine.. Atleast I can move on easy right?" You 'joked' hoping you could make this less akward for him "I'll still be your friend, Hanako.. Some mere confession and you rejecting me isn't something that can instantly tear me down, it's just a phase. I can get over it."
'No you can't.'
"Your crying, [F/N].." Worried laced Hanako's voice as warm tears slid down your face. You immediately wiped it "Something just got into my eye, so weren't you just telling me 3 days ago that you liked someone? It's Yashiro isn't it ahhh I knew you had good eyes" Why would you say that? Please no more.. You didn't wanna hear it—
"Yeah.. Actually, I've liked her for awhile now.. She's very cute.. And very huggable too.."
Your heart broke into a million more pieces. I'm surprised you haven't broken down right there and then.
"A-ah.. Really? I'm sure she likes you too! I saw the way you and her interact, you two looked so cute~"
'No.. Stop it..'
"Really? I'm planning on asking her on Friday.." Hanako's cheeks dusted in pink, as Yashiro is probably floating around his mind
'Go home.. go home.. hide.. '
"I just remembered.. I have to help my parents pack up for their trip back abroad! I might.. Visit or drop by during the 3 week break" You mustered up a smile. You didn't wanna hear anymore as soon as you heard him say his farewells, you immediately went out the back gate. When the school was nowhere near your sights. You ran. You ran as fast as you could, your backed up tears finally escaping
"I thought it would be me.." You hiccuped as you slowed down "I thought you liked me.." Desperately wiping your tears off as it keeps coming back.
"Why would you play with my feelings like that you jerk.."
Hanako hasn't seen you visit during the first week. Maybe you were just taking time off because of the.. Yeah..
Second week, Still no sign of you.. He was getting worried
He really needed to clear his mind.
The third week, you still haven't showed up.. He was getting quite lonely in the bathroom..
Finally, the 3 week break was finally over and he was FINALLY gonna see you again. It's not like he was that lonely.. Yashiro and Kou visited in between those breaks, and in between those breaks something happened.
You dread as you looked at the school gates. Walking up to the gate and opening it, a hand grabbed yours. Looking up it was Hanako. The very person you didn't wanna see at the moment.
"I knew I'd see you here..." He tried bringing you in for a hug but you avoided it "a-ah Hanako stop, I'm.. Sick.."
"And I can't get sick, you didn't visit me during those 3 weeks you know.. I was lonely~" He tried again but you rejected again
"Hanako.. I have to pass something important to Tsuchigomori-Sensei" Making up an excuse to avoid his affection
"I'll tag along! I need to meet with him anyway"
"Hanako please I just want to be alone!" Hanako went silent. He has never seen you get so angry. "[F/N].."
"Just.. Don't touch me.. Hanako.." He let go of your hand as you hugged yourself. "[F/N] your having a panick attack—"
"So, What have you been doing during the 3 week break."
You wanted to change the topic and not center your outburst towards him earlier.
"About that, I.. Finally confessed to Yashiro.." Really.. You're gonna get your heart broken first thing in the morning. "And what did she say? Did she like you back?" Hanako was silent for a moment starring off into a distance, He shook his head no
"No.. She.. Didn't like me back." Hanako mumbled, but you heard it too clear. "She said she took a liking to someone else. But I don't get it.. The kisses on the cheek and the hugging.."
"Did she just play with my feelings?.."
"So you finally know how it feels." That jabbed Hanako with guilt. Looking back at what he did, it was the same on what Yashiro did to him
Both of you got your feelings played
You handed him a neatly folded piece of paper. "Here.. I planned to show you three this together but I guess since the air between you and Yashiro might be too tense, I'll show you first" giving Hanako the paper, he unfolded it reading the contents inside
and just like that, his whole world just dropped immediately.
"Your... Your moving to the States?.." His voice cracked
"Yeah. My parents were frequently traveling in and out of the country because their work was really doing great, they didn't want me to get used to only seeing them once or twice a month." grabbing the paper back putting it inside your bag
Hanako didn't want you to go. But he couldn't be selfish because of his own needs. You were his first friend, BEST friend.. Supposedly first lover too, but who were you to imagine that?
"I should get going.. I have to show this to Tsuchigomori-Sensei.." Walking past him he grabbed your hand, facing him, he was about to cry his whole heart out "C-can we atleast spend time before you leave?.."
Gently removing his grip around your hands "I can't Hanako.. This is my final day here in Japan.. The reason I couldn't visit you during the 3 week break was because I was packing.. and well.."
"Moving on from you."
Hanako finally let you go, you took one last glance at him before going up the faculty room and giving your letter to your adviser, letting him know that you will no longer be a student at Kamome Academy.
As for Hanako.. He didn't take this news very well. He broke down crying, I mean who wouldn't? Imagine if you were a ghost and your very special someone moves to somewhere else with no form of communication
'Special Someone..'
Hanako gasped for air as his eyes were now puffy and was leaking warm tears, He sat down on the ground as he hugged himself
"I regret.. Everything that I've done to you.. Everything.. Is this karma for the things I've done to you?.. " Wiping his tears
"I should've loved you back.."

Very normal and calm about how others perceive my favourite character
Tumblr media
Hmmkay so:
Devineaux is Not dumb. Well, he's not *dumb* dumb.
Hes loud, dense, arrogant, stubborn, impulsive, egotistical and obnoxious, yes. But he's not dumb.
He believes things based in hard fact, physical and literal evidence and stone cold logic (atleast in his perspective). A huge factor why it took him so long to understand how carmen wasn't the evil doer she was assumed to be, is because of his very thick brick wall sort of thought process:
'This elusive smug woman is stealing. Stealing is bad. I must stop her from stealing. At the end of the day, any sort of motive or excuse you could make up for her Does Not matter because. She's Stealing. And as previously stated- Stealing=Bad.'
Whereas Julia is alot more curious and spares more thought in the 'why' aspect of things, and following reasonable yet sorta hard to straight up prove theories- Why is Carmen Sandiego stealing precious artifacts, only to then soon after, slip them back to the authorities? Might she be stealing from other thieves? The only logical motive for that would be to protect the said precious artifacts from the other thieves. And on and on.
Devineaux, truth be told, doesn't care. He's very much stuck on the "stealing things only to return them makes Absolutely no sense" (given the default assumption she's taking them for monetary value, why would she willingly give them back?? Boom, theory busted, cry about it.)
Other than the observation that two people can veiw one thing very differently (with both looking and focusing on different parts, individual interactions with carmen, with devineaux it's her strictly making smug small talk, and evading him- but with Julia she's *Alot* more friendly, passive and semi-includes her in the caper)
There are more factors to keep in mind.
General knowledge:
A note that we tend to forget quite frequently is that- Carmen sandiego I an internationally known figure. Dare i say a myth- cryptid even! All the common knowledge about her is her signature colour, hat and coat. So like, imagine your tasked yourself as the one to catch the woman the myth the legend, while your partner keeps trying to suggest there's more to the very simple picture. "Maybe she's doing it for a good cause"! Uh. Not sure about that bucko.
Incredibly unlikely, from all her rare moments of talkativeness, she seems to fit rather nicely in the 'stereotypical criminal who thinks their better than the law' type behaviour.
It's alot like trying to psychoanalyise DB Cooper. Who cares??? I'm just trying to find and capture her first! We can deal with the explanation and 'why' part after.
And another point:
Its a clearly made point, that Devineaux is a flawed individual. Very heavily implied and shown, with the little of the pov we see of him.
But! Thats just it! The entire show, as is its namesake, is 90% Carmen Sandiegos own personal view. We, the audience, see things from her perspective, as we have been spoon fed the basic information about the basic premise of the plot that surrounds and personally entails her. And with this pov, we see others the way she does. Julia is the unlikely ally, vile the biggest threat, acme the main antagonists and- well, devineaux isnt really all that relevent, compared to everything and everyone else carmen and team red have to face off against.
Because of this, he's painted as an inconvenient, and brutish obstacle. Purely in the way for reasons we and carmen know to be false- so it's very easy to just think thats How he is in his entirety! But he's not. Let's not forget:
Not Only is this guy a full blown Inspector, But, it's explicitly shown that he has the deductive reasoning, and skill with the process of elimination to (ONLY USING INTERPOL RESOURCES. NO ACME NEEDED!) Find viles home based!! Sure, by then it's Formerly home base as they blew up a whole 60% of it quite recently, but!!! Dude!!! Chief, the literal head and founder of acme, who's been looking for any trace of vile for twenty years couldn't even dream of managing such a feat!
Tldr: devineaux isn't stupid, he's just plauged by ego brain fog, extremely unlucky timing and lack of impulse control.

When Trent asks about writing the book and everyone is frantically getting Ted to say no literally behind Trent's back, do you think Trent knew what they were doing?
I do! On both a textual and a "realistic" level.
Meaning, if this were an irl scenario their reactions would be pretty hard to miss. Not only are Rebecca, Higgins, and Keeley saying 'No' with gestures grand enough to draw any eye, but Ted keeps shooting them very obvious "I'm uncomfortable with what they're doing over there" looks. As much as the Tedependent lizard part of my brain likes to read Trent's stare in this moment as heart eyes and heart eyes alone—why would he want to look at anything other than Ted??—I think, under the circumstances, it reads more like him deliberately staring to give Ted as much agency as he can in the moment. If Trent catches the others in their lies + insulting "Get him out of here" display, that puts him in the position of the victim, for lack of a better word. Ted then feels super guilty and he says "Yes" to Trent as a way to try and smooth things over. Trent doesn't want that. He wants to be here because Ted wants him here and though he can't control the others potentially influencing him, he can control his own reaction to the events: keep calm, open expression, non-judgmental, don't beg for it... just let Ted decide on his own.
However, to get back to the point about realistic scenarios, this is a comedy-drama where the characters often don't engage in realistic reactions. Emotions and responses are often deliberately exaggerated for the sake of comedic effect, so they definitely could have made Trent an Oblivious™ character who somehow misses the three people losing their minds right beside him and isn't that funny to watch? But I personally don't think Trent is that character. The show has never shied away from acknowledging what an ass he's been (see: his entire relationship with Roy) and Trent is more than aware of that reputation. He's cultivated it. There's really no version of these circumstances in which a very intelligent, emotionally aware Trent Crimm goes, "Hmm. I'm going to try and write a book about Richmond, the team made up of footballers who have avoided and cursed me out for years, a gaffer I threw to the proverbial wolves, and an owner who once hired me BECAUSE she knew I tear people to shreds in print. Besides, everyone loves having the press dog their steps for a season and then judge them in a permanent medium! Everyone's gonna be thrilled about this offer." Uh huh. Trent knows. He's not stupid. He's actually lucky that Rebecca went the polite route and passed the responsibility onto Ted Forgiveness Lasso. Ted's superhuman optimism was the very opening Trent needed.
Plus, I think Trent's knowledge of how he's really being received is shown throughout his first few weeks there. It's telling that Trent engages in a reversal of what's just been done to him, wherein he calls Rebecca out on why she really wants Zava: he can tell when she's lying and he knows when others in the room—this time Keeley, Higgins, and Ted—are trying to sway someone. Trent is already nervous when he walks into the changing room (you can see his fingers fluttering in his pocket) and he's a little shocked, but not surprised when Roy puts a ban on anyone speaking to him. We have that running joke of people going, "Don't put that in the book," the first instance of which is in Rebecca's office right after he's hired, yet again, there's no surprise along the lines of, "You're concerned about what I'm including? This is making you nervous, Rebecca? Why? I thought you wanted me here and the only thing keeping you from saying yes on the spot was respect for Ted and a belief that he should have the final call? 🤔" This girl was under NO delusions about how everyone was really receiving him. This is the face of a man who is very deliberately NOT looking behind him.

Darcy's Chronicles
Summary: Being the school's star football player, everyone knew Steve Rogers. He was kind, funny, handsome, and no doubt absolutely jacked. He basically looked like an angel that fell from heaven . . . that also happened to land directly on top of you, the sport medicine major who was just trying to do her job.
Pairing: Steve Rogers x fem!reader
college au | athlete steve
_____
GAME 1
You stood on the sideline of the noisy football field, foot tapping and fingers drumming against the water bottle carrier you were assigned to hold. The vibrant energy of the stadium was deafening, and the hollers and screams coming from the stands behind you were enough to make you cringe. 
Your feet ached underneath you, and you shifted your weight onto the other foot, mentally cursing yourself for not choosing a major where you could just sit in a damn seat. 
Instead, you were here, standing in the humid night air and handing water bottles to sweaty men wearing shoulder pads. You glanced over longingly behind you at your friends sitting in the bleachers, making a face when Natasha stuck her tongue out at you mockingly.
However, you felt Dr. Cho’s watchful eyes on the back of your head, so you decided to play nice and turn back around towards the game.
Luckily, you had Darcy to keep you company.
“Tell us what you’re thinking, Ms. Future Trainer,” she said as she shoved her microphone into her face. “Are we gonna have any grave injuries to any of our players tonight?”
“Are you suggesting that we’re hoping for grave injuries tonight, Darcy?”
“Stop being a smartass,” Darcy made a face at you. “Just tell us what you think.”
You swatted at the microphone that she was holding way too close to your mouth. “Well, what I think is that Professor Hill sent you to interview the players and the coaches, not me.”
Darcy just waved you off and turned to her cameraman. “She’s just playing hard to get. She loves it when I do this kinda stuff.”
“Love is definitely a stretch, Darcy,” you rolled your eyes. “Now go scram before Dr. Cho catches me slacking off.”
“Calm down, Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes, Cho’s not even looking.” Darcy flipped her hair over her shoulder and put on her best announcer voice. “Now tell us: I’m sure, being a sports medicine major and a suck up to Dr. Cho, head of the athletic training department, you’ve been taken along to many practices and games this season-”
“This is literally the season’s first game.”
“Whatever, don’t interrupt me.” She looked at her cameraman with a “Can you believe this chick?” look on her face. “Anyways, so, of course, you probably have spent a lot of time with these smoking hot football boys. So, tell the camera with pride, which one of these men would you make out in the locker room with?”
You shot Darcy a look of disbelief. “Are you serious right now?”
She grinned mischievously, undeterred. “Don’t be shy, Doctor. We all know you’ve been eyeing them like a hawk.”
“Eyeing them is literally in my job description,” you shot back.
“Touché,” she replied with a shrug, but leaned in conspiratorially. Of course, the cameraman leaned in with her. “But seriously, who’s your locker room fantasy?”
You stared at her wordlessly.
“Fine, let's make this easier. I’ll give you some options to choose from.” She didn’t seem to mind the exasperated groan that left your mouth. “Option A: Quarterback Bucky Barnes with the bedroom eyes. Option B: Tight end Thor with those huge fucking shoulders. Option C: Linebacker Captain Blondie-”
Then everything happened at the same time.
Darcy stopped talking, which was very much unlike her, as her eyes widened and she backed away. You noticed the crowd got even louder with chaos, and your ears caught the announcers’ voices before you could turn around to face the game.
“Rogers and Davis fightin’ over that ball-”
“Looks like they’re headed straight for the sideline-”
You started to turn, but before you could think, you were flat on your back, completely crushed underneath a brick wall.
Oh wait.
That was a person.
“Holy Mother of- fuck!” You quite literally saw stars as you grimaced in pain. It felt like a semi truck had run over your ribs. You slowly opened your eyes, finding a blurry sight of people standing around you like you were a patient in a hospital bed waking up after a surgery.
However, the most prominent sight was the concerned face of Steve Rogers inches away from yours, whose helmet was thrown off somewhere to the side.
“Am I dead?” You managed to croak out.
He looked a bit amused at your dramatic question- a little too amused for your liking, considering the fact he had just almost killed you. “Uh, no?”
The two of you just stared at each other until you snapped. “Get off of me, you human wrecking ball!”
You heard Darcy cackle somewhere next to you. “Are you getting all of this, Scott? Don’t you dare turn that camera off.”
You unsuccessfully attempted to push him off before he came to his senses and clambered off of you. 
“Shit, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” He extended his arm out to help you up.
“Am I okay? Really? Buddy, you just pancaked me into a fucking omelette!” You stubbornly ignored his hand, bringing yourself up to a sitting position with a wince.
Steve looked like he was trying not to laugh at the annoyance painted across your face, but you could see genuine guilt in his eyes. “I know, I know, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
Darcy, unlike Steve, couldn’t contain her laughter. “Oh, this is gold! Keep it coming, guys!”
“A ‘sorry’ isn’t gonna unflatten me.”
Steve’s lips twitched with suppressed amusement. “How about multiple sorries?” He pulled his hand back to rest on his hips, realizing you weren’t going to take his help any time soon.
“Real funny.” You rolled your eyes.
He flashed you an apologetic grin, re-extending his hand out to help you up. “You gonna sit around on the ground for the rest of the night or something?”
“Or something.” You nodded with a shrug.
“All right then,” he raised an eyebrow with a grin. “Let me know when you’re ready for me to help you off the ground.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to send up a flare,” you deadpanned.
Before he could say anything else, Coach Fury, along with other men in headsets, came up from behind Steve and clapped him on the shoulder, shoving his dropped helmet into his arms. “Enough flirting, Rogers. Get back on that field.”
“We weren’t-” Steve started with a flushed face.
Fury interrupted him as he turned towards you, and you suddenly wished you had taken Steve’s help earlier as Fury eyed you up and down while you sat in the grass, no doubt looking stupid.
“Make sure you're paying attention to the game, Missy. Can’t have Cho’s trainers getting taken out by my boys.”
You nodded quickly in embarrassment, giving Steve the stink eye as soon as Fury stopped eyeing you, though you could still feel Dr. Cho’s amused eyes on you.
The coach shoved him towards the field as Steve looked over his shoulder at you, laughing as you gave him the middle finger with a badly hidden smile. 
GAME 2
“Hey.”
You looked up from the medical kit you were checking over, finding Steve Rogers smiling sheepishly at you, fully suited up and ready for the game, cradling his helmet in his arms.
“Oh, hi there. Are you here to pulverize me again?”
“Not quite,” he grinned, and you tried not to notice how gorgeous his smile was. “Just wanted to make sure you were alright. I was looking for you after that game. Couldn’t find you though.”
“Probably because I had to be airlifted to the hospital after that vicious attack.”
Steve held up his hand in a mock oath. “Won’t do it again. Scout’s honor.”
You raised an eyebrow skeptically.
“Seriously though, are you okay?”
You decided not to mess around with him, sensing the worry in his voice. “Other than a bruised ego? Nah, I’m okay.”
Steve let out a relieved sigh, and you pretended not to notice the melting of your heart. “Good to hear. And, uh, sorry again.”
You waved it off, looking back down at the medical kit you were working with. “Don’t you have other things to be doing? Like warming up or whatever.”
“Yeah, uh, I probably should get to that,” Steve rubbed the back of his neck as he made no attempt to leave.
You looked up and turned to face him, quirking an eyebrow expectantly at his flushed face. “Can I help you, Rogers?”
“Uh, kinda?”
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson laughing at their friend, throwing Steve some encouraging thumbs ups.
“What’s with the peanut gallery over there?” You nodded towards his teammates out on the field with a smirk.
“Nothing, uh, they’re just being annoying.” Steve glared at Bucky and Sam before turning back to you. “I just wanted to ask you if uh, you-”
“Could fill up your water bottle?” You finished his sentence with a smirk.
“Uh, that would be nice, but not exactly.”
You feigned innocence. “Oh? What else could it be?”
Steve took a breath. “If you wanted to grab some ice cream with me after the game tonight?”
“Wow! It’s happening folks!” Darcy loudly announced to the camera from a couple yards away. “Step aside, gossip column! We’ve got breaking news right here!”
You glared at Darcy before focusing back on Steve.
“Y’know, kinda like a truce?” he shrugged with a teasing smirk. “I nearly broke your ribs the other day with my superman strength, so buying you ice cream is the least I could do.”
“Calm down there, Hercules. You’re one protein shake away from bursting out of that jersey.”
Steve laughed, and your brain basically turned into mush at the sound. “So is that a yes?”
“Find me after the game.” You smiled at him before pushing him towards the field. “Now go stretch unless you feel like spraining something tonight.”
“If that means you’ll patch me up, I think I’m fine with that.” He grinned as he walked backwards, eyes trained on you.
“Not funny, Rogers,” you rolled your eyes. “Now skedaddle before I unleash the wrath of Dr. Cho on you.”
“Wow.” He was still walking backwards towards his team, not wanting to turn away from you. “You are a cruel woman.”
“Dr. Cho! This man is distracting me from-”
“Okay, okay, I’m going!” He laughed as he turned around and jogged away, giving you a final glance over his shoulder.
GAME 7
You pressed down on the pump of the cooler, water spraying you in the face as you tried to refill the players’ water bottles.
“Fucking cooler-”
You felt a familiar set of strong arms wrap around your waist, and you smiled at the touch, not bothering to turn around.
“Don’t you have some sorta half-time talk thing to be attending to?”
“The half-time talk thing is over, sweetheart,” Steve mocked, kissing your shoulder. “Besides, I had to come over here and save my girl from this rabid water cooler.”
You couldn’t help but laugh as you tried to wipe the water off your face with the back of your hand. “Why thank you, kind sir. What would I ever do without you and your heroic abilities?”
Steve chuckled against your skin. “Just doing my duty, ma’am. Can’t have my favorite trainer getting attacked by rogue appliances, can I?”
“Favorite, huh?” You leaned back into his embrace. “Don’t let Sharon hear that. I think she started a little crush on you while she was taping up your shoulder last week.”
Steve placed a kiss on your cheek, arms tightening around you. “Can’t blame her. Who wouldn’t fall for this charming smile?”
“Fury, for one,” you said as you elbowed him in the ribs. “If you don’t get on that field right now, even your charming smile won’t be able to save you, Rogers.”
Steve laughed, spinning you around by the waist to face him. “Fine. But first I need a kiss for good luck.”
“I’m pretty sure you already got one before the game, Rogers.” You quipped with raised eyebrows. 
“Ah, but the luck definitely would’ve worn off,” he said as he pulled you closer.
“Mhm, because that’s exactly how luck works.” You nodded your head sarcastically, a playful glint in your eyes.
He shrugged innocently. “Sorry hun, I don’t make the rules.” With a boyish grin, he leaned in and pressed his lips against yours, pulling you into a familiar kiss that never failed to make your heart race.
“Can you feel the love tonight, folks?” You heard Darcy announce to her camera somewhere off to the side. “‘Cause I sure can!”
You pulled away from Steve, gently pushing him towards the field. “Alright Romeo, get lost before Fury bans me from the rest of your games. He’s threatened me twice already.”
He saluted with a chuckle and jogged over to the rest of his team, but not before leaning forward for one last kiss, of course.
“See ya later, sweetheart,” he called over his shoulder. “Watch out for those charming linebackers.”
GAME 9
“Rogers catches a clean pass from Barnes-”
“Would you look at that! He’s sprinting downfield with a clear path-”
“Looks like he’s going all the way!”
The announcers’ voices fueled the crowd’s fervor as you and Darcy gripped each other's hands tightly. You couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride as you watched Steve, your heart pounding in rhythm with the game. He was so close. Almost to the end zone-
All of a sudden, Steve was lying on the floor, motionless and unmoving, a stark contrast to the chaos going on around him. The giant defender loomed over him, casting a mocking shadow over Steve. 
“Rogers goes down hard! That’s gotta hurt!”
The crowd went silent. Your heart leaped into your throat as the cheers turned into worried murmurs, the crowd realizing that he wasn’t about to stand up and smack his chest with pride like he usually did. Before you could even fully comprehend what had happened, you were running out to the field, your heart pounding along with your footsteps as you weaved your way around players.
You dropped down to your knees next to Steve, carefully removing his helmet, and cupping your hands to his face. Every instinct screamed at you to spring into action, to follow the protocols drilled into you during countless lectures and training sessions.
However, all you could do was trace the familiar lines of his face with desperation. Despite the torment of thoughts that clamored for your attention -check for a concussion, open up the medical kit, clear the field, wait for Dr. Cho- your body could only let you stroke his cheek softly, urging him to open his eyes and tell you he was alright.
“Steve? Honey, can you hear me?” Your voice trembled, barely above a whisper as tears welled up in your eyes, willing him to respond.
The crowd watched with hushed anticipation as Steve’s eyes fluttered open, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he looked at you. “Hey.”
As you let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding, you vaguely registered Dr. Cho’s presence as she dropped down next to you, gently removing your hands from his face. He frowned dazedly at the loss of contact, so you settled for gripping his hand instead, while you kept your other hand free to help Dr. Cho.
Her neck snapped up in the direction of Bucky Barnes and the meathead that knocked Steve over, who were now involved in a heated exchange as they shoved and cursed at each other. “Shut up,” she ordered with narrowed eyes. “Both of you.”
Dr. Cho turned her attention back to Steve, who was grinning slightly with amusement. “Damn, you tell ‘em, Doc.”
A faint chuckle, that sounded more like a sob, escaped your lips at Steve’s remark as you rolled your eyes.
Steve flashed you a lopsided grin, squeezing your hand slightly. “Hey, laughter’s the best medicine, right?”
Dr. Cho shook her head with a grin. “Save the jokes for later, Rogers. Let’s get you checked out first.”
While Cho opened up her kit, you squeezed Steve’s hand. “Steve, can you tell me what day it is?”
“It’s an awesome day ‘cause I’m looking at you.”
You couldn’t help but laugh at his response, despite the worry gnawing at your insides as you resisted the urge to shove his shoulder at the bad joke. “Did hitting your head make you even more annoying?” 
Steve’s hazy grin softened into a tender expression. “Nah,” he said gently as he reached up to wipe away a tear that had escaped your eye earlier. “Just needed to see you smile.”
“That’s cute,” Dr. Cho deadpanned as your heart warmed up at his words. “But answer the question.”
“It’s Saturday.”
“And the month?”
“October.”
“Can you tell me-”
“Are you just gonna sit there asking questions, or are you gonna call an ambulance for my player?” Fury barked, making his way to the front of the crowd of athletes and coaches.
“Take a breath, Coach Fury,” Dr. Cho instructed as she flashed a light into Steve’s eyes. “Looks like a moderate concussion to me.”
“Moderate concussion, my ass!” Bucky growled, jabbing his finger into Meathead’s chest. “This numbskull bashed Steve’s head into the fucking ground!”
“Enough,” Dr. Cho commanded with a stern look. “Let’s focus on getting Steve off the field first, then we’ll take him to the hospital if needed.”
“Wait, what about the game?” Steve mumbled.
“Don’t worry about the game. Your health comes first, stupid,” you said as you wiped your damp eyes.
Dr. Cho nodded. “She’s right. Your team can pull through by themselves, Rogers, don’t worry.” She motioned for the rest of the medical team to bring out the stretcher. “Let’s get you off the field and properly assessed.”
GAME 12
You practically jumped into Steve’s awaiting arms as you ran onto the field, squeezing him tight and laughing as he spun you around, despite the crowd of jumping people around you.
“THEY’VE DONE IT, FOLKS!” Darcy screamed maniacally into her microphone from somewhere behind you. “OUR TEAM MANAGED TO SCORE IN THE LAST 3 SECONDS OF THE GAME! WE’RE GOING TO PLAYOFFS BABY!”
He set you down and pulled you in by the waist, planting a searing kiss onto your lips. Amidst the chaos and cheers, time seemed to stand still for just a moment, the world narrowing down to the warmth of his embrace and the sweetness of his kiss. It was just you and him.
Well, it was until Darcy pulled you two apart and shoved her microphone into Steve’s face.
“That catch was abso-fucking-lutely brilliant, Rogers!” She slapped Steve’s shoulder pads roughly. “Tell the camera how you feel after that bad-ass win!”
“Isn’t this supposed to be a family-friendly broadcast, Darcy?” Steve quipped with a raised eyebrow.
“No one cares, Goldilocks. I’ll just tell Professor Hill that it showcases the raw emotions of-”
Bucky cut in, stepping in front of Steve and grabbing the mic out of her hands roughly.
“Hey!” She frowned, unsuccessfully attempting to snatch it back. “You’re interrupting my interview, you little-”
“VICTORY TASTES DAMN SWEET!” Bucky hollered into the microphone, putting his face way too close to the camera. Thor joined the party as well, jumping onto Bucky’s back and screaming incoherently into the mic as he shook the camera with his huge hands.
Darcy, somehow managing to pry the microphone out of Bucky’s sweaty hand, adjusted her glasses and plastered a smile on her face.
“You heard it first-hand, folks!” She said through clenched teeth, her voice strained as she swatted Thor’s hands off of the camera and forcibly shoved Bucky out of the frame. “Victory tastes sweet to our football heroes!”
Steve squeezed your waist, leaning down to whisper into your ear. “How ‘bout we get outta here?”
“And leave Darcy alone with these boys?” You raised an eyebrow at Steve with a smirk. “She’ll never forgive me.”
“Ehh, she’ll be alright,” Steve chuckled. “She’s got Scott with her. He can whack them with his camera if they get too rowdy.”
You glanced over at Darcy, who was trying her best to maintain her broadcast composure as she talked to the camera while Scott skillfully maneuvered Bucky and Thor out of the shot.
You leaned into Steve. “Fine, let’s make a break for it.”
Steve grinned, and without another word, the two of you slipped away from the crowd, hand in hand, heart in heart.

Hey so remember that au I was planning on making with an oc I made a while ago, well here it is. I’m calling it The Lost Not Found AU, I’m probably not going to do too much with it other than some doodles here and there with a few bits of lore sprinkled around. Other than that just a fun little prequel au that I had fun with coming up idea’s, head canons, etc for all of the pre hotel versions of the characters. ^ ^
~~~
Jack Bufton
A shrewd lawyer who thinks way too highly of himself. Egotistical and a bit of a perfectionist, Jack seems to take pleasure in quite literally judging others while somehow able to be correct and suspiciously have evidence to prove otherwise. Jack enjoys many luxuries of goods, cleanliness and many more due to the success of his career, so it’s quite the surprise to find him at Gregory’s Hotel. During his stay he seems to start having the habit of talking to himself while isolating himself from the rest of the other guests. It seems while Jack loves to judge and criticizes others, his own bad habits seem to leak out. Quite hypocritical of him.
Catherine Caudata
A hopeless romantic with an interest in needles, Catherine takes her job seriously and passionately, sometimes getting a bit too excited. While concerned and a bit horrified at the horrors in the hotel and her arrival at the hotel is just as a mystery like everyone else’s, However at her stay she does try her best to help the other guest but when an unfortunate accident happens she tends to get a bit too excited when blood appears. During her stay overtime, Catherine’s skin starts getting itchy, flaky and even turning pink. Her hair falling out and teeth getting sharper, as terrifying as it is, it’s hard for her to try and stop her transformation when blood looks so appealing.
Hugh Cook
A professional chef, passionate in his work and struggles a bit with anger management. Hugh’s patients are very tested at the hotel from any minor inconvenience to the other guest pestering him. The reason for the mask Hugh wears is mainly because Hugh doesn’t emote as much which causes others around him to assume he’s constantly angry. While that is somewhat true, Hugh is usually calm when things are in order. Fortunately at least for Hugh there is an empty kitchen at the hotel to keep him busy, as long as you don’t smoke and stay out of his kitchen you should at least be on his good side. During his stay his anger boils over more and more and is starting to threaten the other guest, something about killing and cooking them for his next dish.
Carlo Gunman
A poor marksman and runway leader in a revolution, Carlo seems to make his way to the hotel after running away. Despite the situation he’s in, Carlo tries his best to be optimistic and distract himself and the other guests in challenges or even showing off his marksmanship, even if he’s not so great at it. Out of all the other guests Carlo is the more friendly one even trying his best to keep the group sane and defuse arguments to some extent. During his stay, his skin is starting to turn green, spines start sticking out of his skin and they hurt to get out. Things are starting to look a bit woozy from his perspective.
The Lost Guest
Nothing is really known about them, their past, their face, how they ended up at the hotel, nothing. However while trying to find clues about their own past TLG tries to help the other guest with their own, maybe even trying to give some advice and help so they can all try to get out of the hotel alive. But I think we all know how that is going to end.

It would kill you to try? Javier Peña x Female reader. part 1
Tumblr media
pairing: javier peña x female reader with latin roots.
chapter/ content warning: a little angsty but also a tiny amount of fluff, cute worried peña, swearing, not entirely faithful to the plot of the show.
English is not my first language so, sorry if you find any mistakes.
I intend to make a series out of this but who knows.
summary: You joined The DEA three months ago & after spending most of those days doing calm investigation work at the office, it’s time to face the real danger and go undercover along with Peña and Murphy to follow one of Escobar’s sicarios’ journey. But something unexpected happens that changes the work relationship you have with Javier. And that indifference you used to have between each other seems to unravel into fire,prejudice and something deeper.
Everything seemed like any other day at the office. The room was canonically silent apart from the typical office sound effects. Like papers being passed, coffee cups landing on desks and the sound of telephones ringing. The first day you were introduced to the team and most of the employees, things were also the same. And you started to wonder if it was your effect on being the new girl and people restraining themselves so they wouldn’t scare the shit out of you. But every day after that morning seemed to unravel in a similar way. The office environment wasn’t anything crazy. And that morning, three months later, was sharing a lot of similarities with the one of your very first day in Colombia. That was until Peña showed up and the room exploded.
You knew the effect he had on people. He was that kind of person that looked intimidating and at the same time everyone liked and disliked extremely. There was no in between with him. Which automatically pushed you away. He was everything you weren’t. Charming but demanding. Secure but careful. An asshole and every girl’s fantasy. Girls at the office wanted him and dudes idolized him or totally despised him. Too much for you. You liked people who felt real and he didn’t. Is not that you disliked they guy, you just didn’t bother to interact with him.
Something inside of you told you it was probably the safest option.
You were in your desk hearing the whole conversation while reading one of the reports about one of Escobar’s sicarios. Trying so hard to concentrate you gave up and focused your attention on him. He was wearing his usual office attire, dark colored shirt with short sleeves, leather jacket and orange aviator sunglasses hanging from the collar of the shirt. Three undone buttons showing a glimpse of his natural tanned skin in a triangular shape. You got it. He was handsome. In the words of one of your female colleges “He has a vibe”. But something about him felt so dark to you, it made him instantly uncomfortable. He was talking with other guys, leaning in front of Murphy’s desk who hadn’t arrive yet. The rest were trying to make fun of him about an unmentioned event that happened the night before. But giving the context and the fact that it was Peña they were talking about, you could vaguely picture what that could’ve been.
“Did you even get any sleep?” mention one of the boys in between laughs.
“I still can’t believe it, he literally just arrived and he had two around him like bees to honey” followed another one in the same tone.
“Did you kicked her out to come to work or is she still sleeping?”
You heard about the stories. The hookers and controversial places he had the reputation to visit. Even about the way he found all of those informants so easily. But you chose to never actually believe those theories. You’ve worked in offices like that one before. People tend to put people on pedestals and create this whole narrative around them to keep up with the boredom. And even though Peña looked like he could play that part very well, you didn’t wanna fall into the easy stigma. Also the fact that he wasn’t actually engaging in the conversation gave you a bit of hope. He was about to break his silence when Murphy showed in the room.
“We gotta leave immediately. They found one of Escobar’s sicarios location, it looks like they have something in mind. We need to have a look.” Javier didn’t seemed surprised about the information and quickly he reincorporated from his position, ready to leave.
“Wait. You.” Murphy quickly redirected his gaze towards you, catching everyone’s attention “Boss says you’re ready to come with us this time.”
“Me?” you asked petrified on your seat “Now?”
“Congratulations agent Gomez, you’re gonna stop being the ghost of the office!” said jokingly one of the agents from the previous chat with Peña.
“Not really that funny” mentioned Murphy politely like always “Don’t worry, it’s just a fast inspection, we’ll be in the car”. He looked at you with reassuring eyes but you couldn’t feel anything but dying inside.
You knew where you were getting yourself into by accepting this job. You knew the up’s and down’s of doing what felt right to you. You joined because of the range of justice not being taken seriously in a country like Colombia and also, the feeling of being close to home in some way, after so many years out of the continent. Part of you was pissed as hell of having to wait months stuck in that stinky office to finally get to the place you always longed for, for so many years. But another, the one that was always terrified and could smell danger from yards away, was in constant state of anxiety. You couldn’t help but wanting to cry a little in that precise moment. But you stood up. Because you couldn’t. You didn’t have time to cry or making excuses. This was duty. And also you wanted to shut down those bastards from before.
Murphy left first and Peña stayed there waiting for you to be next. “Are you coming or what?” he directed towards you, gesturing for you to go after him.
You couldn’t recall him actually acknowledging you like that. You crossed words before, but it wasn’t a big deal. Now things felt real, he was talking to you like you were finally a part of the team. Someone to consider a piece of the puzzle.
“I- I have to go to the restroom first, I- I’ll join you in the car” you disappeared rapidly from the room without giving him any chance to agree.
Now inside of the tiny cubicle, your lungs struggled to fill with oxygen and you managed to splash a bit of cold water into your face. Looking at your reflection in the mirror, you looked as pale as ever. Maybe you were actually the ghost of the office. Maybe that was the role you were born to play in that terrible theater full of criminals and confident pricks. You managed to control your breathing by repeating fake affirmations in your head. ‘You’re here for a reason’ ‘you deserve to take this chance’ ‘if they can, you can’. Not believing a single thing. You managed to go back to the now, empty hall, towards one of the untouched phones on one of the secretaries’ desks, Marzia, you used to talk to her in between breaks. With shaky hands you pressed your fingers into the digits until you heard the tone.
“¿Hola?” answered the person on the other line in confusion.
“Mami, soy yo” (mom, it’s me) you quickly responded.
“Y/n what’s going on?” she asked sweetly.
“It’s time” you said “I’m going on an expedition with the other agents.”
“Oh, honey, that’s amazing! Are you happy?”
You took your time to respond. You couldn’t help it, tears started to build up in your eyes.
“I don’t think I can do it, mamá. Tengo miedo.” (I’m scared) you admitted in a sigh trying to sound as strong as possible. “I’m not made for this shit, I’ve should’ve stayed home”.
“But you didn’t, mi amor. And there’s a reason for that” tears were already surrounding you face as you rapidly wiped them in case someone showed up in the hall “You wanted this. You always go after what you want.”
Another sight.
“What if what I want it’s not meant for me?” you sadly asked. Not actually wanting to know the answer.
“Have you try?”
“Well, I guess I’m about to” you laughed through the tears.
“Then you go do that. You try and then, you’ll see. Lo hacemos y ya vemos, ¿si? You’re being part of something so important because you are important, my love. Remember that.”
“Te amo.”
“Yo también, go.”
You quickly hang up and wiped the rest of the tears. Blindly hoping your waterproof mascara was strong enough and your nose wasn’t too red to give away your unstable state.
“You good?” Peña’s deep voice interrupted your recovery moment making you jumped.
“Yes!” he scanned your face with his rounded commonly known puppy eyes while nodding with his head. You hoped for the love of god he had just arrived and wouldn’t notice any drama going on “Yes, let’s go”.
Thirty minutes later you were there, at the back seat of the car, following that man’s lead and trying so hard no to freak out at every little detail of the scene. Murphy stopped the car at the same time the objective stopped his, close enough to have a good sight of the man but far enough to not get noticed by him.
You played the stalker card before. This wasn’t new to you, so why were you this nervous? Something about being in that car make your stomach ache. You knew this man was dangerous as heck. If you three got caught they wouldn’t hesitate to at least try to shoot in your direction. But there was also the presence of those two agents by your sides. You barely knew them, but to be honest, you were still surprised they weren’t fired already. Giving their methods and the crazy shit they’ve done to get to finally end Escobar’s business. You respected them in some way, at least they were committed. But you also didn’t trust them at all.
“There he is.” said Murphy catching your attention, that instantly focused on the man getting out of the car “Who the fuck is he waiting for?”
“Prolly one of the other two bastards” followed up Peña adjusting his glasses “or maybe Escobar” he suggested in a sarcastic tone.
“Wouldn’t it be crazy if he randomly showed up?”
“That’ll make you excited.”
“No as excited as Gomez, right Gomez?” asked you Murphy this time, turning to look at you from the driver’s seat with a light grin.
You would die there at the spot if that happened.
“Um, I dont know if excited is the right word.” You tried to explain politely with a funny tone, trying hard no to give away that fact that you would actually hate it more than a whole afternoon under the Colombian heat or another late shift at the office.
“Well, it’s your first expedition as a DEA agent. It’ll make it more memorable for sure. Don’t you think, Peña?”
Peña looked at you from the rear-view mirror slightly lifting one brow.
“It would sure shut some mouths.”
He didn’t sound friendly at all.
“So how long have you’ve been a cop?” asked Murphy focusing on you again.
He was being too nice and you realized maybe they both could notice your nervousness. Even though you didn’t exactly loved talking about yourself with people at work, you gave in to ease the tension and thanked him in some way for trying so hard to make small talk.
“I started three years ago” you mentioned and waited for the reactions.
Both of their eyes widened.
“And you’re in the DEA already? wow, impressive.” You could tell he was actually being honest.
Peña didn’t say anything.
“Thank you.”
“Anyways, is not as excited as it seems. Believe me, it can piss you off most of the time. But I guess it’s better than handling those pricks at the office that often.”
“They are not so bad, Murphy” interrupted Peña.
“That’s cause the idolize you, idiot. Which makes them even more stupid.”
You were glad he also understood. Peña was about to open his mouth to rebate that, getting closer to Murphy, when you suddenly spoke again.
“He’s moving” you mentioned in a dry tone, gesturing at Pablo’s sicario with your head.
They immediately went back to their initial positions, staring at the man that quickly entered the apartment buildings in-front of him. Peña seemed to get a little tense at this action, taking off his glasses and running his hands through his thick dark hair.
“Okay” said Murphy getting rid of his seatbelt and opening his door.
Your cool totally dropped.
“Where the hell are you going” asked Peña in a demanding tone.
“We’re going after him. We’re losing him and this could be our only chance.”
You could feel your hands shaking again.
“Are you insane? He’s probably surrounded by now. We’ll be dead in minutes if we leave this car.”
Javier’s comment didn’t help with your anxiety slowly raising up. You could swear he rapidly looked at you through the rear mirror again, but maybe it was just a reflex.
“Well then I go first and you two cover me. I’m not wasting our only chance to get him” insisted Murphy.
“I don’t think so, Murphy.”
You were surprised by Javier’s words and you couldn’t help but let go of a sight.
He noticed.
“Excuse me?” said Murphy outraged.
“This was not the plan. We were supposed to check on him, in the car. We don’t have resources to go after him just like that, you know what happened last time we tried something like this.”
You remembered that day, almost two months ago. They got suspended for a whole week. The office was a mess. “But if you wanna go, we’ll need a getaway car and a getaway driver. Do you have a license?”
He directed to you this time looking directly to your eyes. No glasses on, not puppy eyes but a look of concern.
“Not yet. I’m working on it, though.” You responded a bit embarrassed.
“You’re a DEA agent and you don’t have a license?” Murphy asked you this time with frown eyes. Almost not believing it.
You and cars didn’t exactly got along pretty well. But thanks to your impeccable curriculum and expedient, they managed to let that slide with one condition.
“Well, they said I could get one here.”
“In Colombia? Do you even speak Spanish?”
“I was raised here”.
“Have we talked before?” interrupted Peña again with a playful look.
“Once or twice.” You replied a little offended by the sudden question, realizing he actually didn’t notice you at all before that day.
“I think I would’ve remembered…” he murmured this time more to himself than the rest, looking at you up and down.
“So you’re from here” reassured Murphy still not quite believing it.
“Well, I was born in Spain but we moved here when I was like nine, so, yeah, something like that.”
“Well that’s nice.” Said Javier. He seemed weirdly happy about your roots.
“Okay, love birds. We’re loosing the objective. Let’s fucking go, Peña.”
You hated that Murphy could also tell all you did and even more the fact that he only acknowledged Peña. Making it clear you weren’t even an option to continue with his plans. But liked he could instantly change the tone of the situation.
“We need a getaway driver just in case and she doesn’t have a license. Plus, it’s her first, I don’t think she wants it to be THAT memorable” stated Javier.
He had a point.
“You’re being such a pussy right now.”
“I’m just trying to risks as less lives as possible. You go after him if you want, I’m staying in the car.” He ended by sitting straight, totally ignoring the blonde.
“Since when do you follow instructions so correctly?”
“I’m doing it for once. Shouldn’t you be proud?” answered him in a goofy tone, still not looking at him.
“Agh, fuck you.”
Murphy slammed the door close and started jogging towards the entranced of the building, patting his gun through his pocket.
Silenced was installed in the inside of the car after that. Only your breaths, yours and Javier’s were heard. He stayed there, one elbow resting over the passenger’s window, fingers on his mustache. You noticed what he did. You knew Murphy was the responsable one, not him. Something had to really stop him of going after his college and complete the mission in his own way. Not the right one. The right one didn’t feel enough for him.
You just couldn’t keep it to yourself anymore. It didn’t feel fair.
“Thank you” you said softly.
It took him a while to process you were actually talking to him.
“For what exactly?” he questioned you. Gaze still on the window.
He was waiting for you to open up. He didn’t like half honesty.
“I have the feeling you know.”
He shifted on his sit. And it was clear he heard your phone conversation before. You were glad he didn’t say anything on the spot. He played the whole thing in a very discreet way. You didn’t need more of him, not even some words of comfort.
But he gave them to you anyways.
“Look it’s none of my business but…you’re here for a reason” he started, looking at you again, eyes on the mirror “…not everyone gets to be here. Specially not after only three years in business.”
You felt your cheeks burning a little. You were slightly embarrassed about this unknown man, with a questionable reputation that barely knew of your presence half an hour ago, lecturing you about your stupid fears.
“You have to have something, you just gotta grow into it, chiquita” you laughed a little at the sudden nickname, he sounded like a dad. “Start acting up”
“Is that what you do? You act it up?” you asked jokingly trying to blow away the intensity.
“Sometimes I overdo it. That’s why today I’m staying in the car.”
You both chuckled and that was it. Murphy reappeared breathing heavily in exhaustion, sweat running over his forehead. Peeking through the window of his seat.
“I lost him”.

AU where Tanjirou is a shapeshifting Tanuki instead of a human.
Backstory is that before Tanjuro and Kie ever had any children, Tanjuro came across a little tanuki during his trip to get wood. The creature was gravely injured and out cold, it would probably be eaten if left alone. So, taking pity on the poor thing, he decided to bring it back home to nurse it back to health. His wife joked that they could use this opportunity as practice for when their little ones come along and they loved it so much that they decided to name it Tanjirou. After a few months, Tanjirou was all healed up (the only evidence that something had even happened was a huge scar on his forehead) but instead of leaving, he wanted to repay them for their kindness by taking care of them in return, so he reviled that he is a shapeshifter to them and turned into a human boy so he could truly become the eldest son of the Kamado family. As the years flew by, Tanjuro started to grow weak with sickness and Kie became busier and busier with the babies. They couldn’t be more thankful of the tanuki as he took over the charcoal business and household chores, blessing them with the opportunity to rest easy. And even when the day came that Tanjuro passed, Tanjirou still stayed by their side, wanting nothing more then to keep his human family safe. However, staying shape-shifted for long is tiring and Tanjirou has to be carful to rest enough that he doesn’t pass out or lose form when out in public. So after a productive day in the village, he could feel the drain on his body, threatening to slip at any moments notice. So when Saburo offered to let him rest at his house for the night, he felt he had no choice but to accept it. When he finally arrived the next morning, he found that he had not only broken his oath to protect them, but that he had a new goal: turn Nezuko back into a human. And so Tanjirou begins his journey into becoming a demon slayer and finding a cure for his sister. All while still trying to hide his true nature from everyone (except Nezuko, Tomioka, Urokodaki and the squad after trusting them).
It isn’t until after the mugen train battle that his secret is reviled. He had pushed his limits too far and used his illusion magic to protect Rengoku from Akazas fatal blows, they both needed to be carried by Kakushi by the end of it. When the news that Tanjirou had faced off against a upper moon 3 demon reached the rest of the hashira, they practically bolted to the butterfly estate to check on him. However, when they got there, his bed was completely empty. The idea that he could be outside or even kidnapped was passed around, but their attention was snatched away by Kanroji’s squealing. She pointed at Rengoku resting form and in his arms was a little tanuki with a very familiar scar on his forehead. Before anyone can even begin to question it, Tanjirou (still in a sleep dazed state) slides out of the bed and poofs back into a human, planning to just walk out to get a glass of water. But when he notices the pillars, he turns stiff as a statue (literally). After a bit of calming down and a short explanation later, Tanjirou ends up giving a small demonstration by making his tail appear and the hashira don’t know how to handle it. Kanroji is squealing so hard that only a dog can hear it, Tokito somehow appeared next to him and his petting his tail intently, Iguro is on the floor, Kocho is blue-screening, Uzui’s thought have gone somewhere we don’t need to know about, Shinazugawa feels like he’s burning up, Tomioka is ready to cut a bitch, Rengoku is still busy catching Zs and Himajima has no idea wtf just happened.
(Sorry for miss spellings I’m writing this at 2 am :p)
Thanks for sharing this with us. 😊
