Weekend WIP Game
Tagged by @wikiangela @jesuisici33 and @daffi-990
Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more)
1. WIP List:
Love list Buddie
Motorcycle fic
Buddie MMA Rivals AU
Someone to be Gentle- Buddie fic
For you mi amor, I choose death/Buddie Mafia 
Librarian AU/Let me check you out
The heatwave fic
You make bad day infinitely better
Buddie rodeo/Alright Cowboy, Go Get 'Em
Vampire/Werewolf Buddie/Halloween fic
Only the already bad can be influenced/Crop top and short shorts fic
Street racing/Fast and Furious AU
Buddie- You belong with me fic
Buck & Eddie wedding- Something wrong in the village
Awkward Sex Buddie
Post lawsuit- I'll Call Your Mum fic
LA Zoo tiktok guy Buck 
Buck gets dumps, gets drunk with Eddie and thinks they slept together fic 
Don’t go where I can’t follow fic
sword buddie pt. 2/ Under the Guise of Violence 
2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?
So technically Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em is sitting at 17,852 words but most of that is chapter 1 and 2 which I’ve already posted. Unpost WIP is Buddie MMA Rivals AU ( I don’t mind if we fight, If you make me bleed) which is sitting at 4,681 words, plus a few thousand more in planning.
3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?
Buddie MMA Rivals AU has 9 chapters planned, others might get longer like For you mi amor, I choose death/Buddie Mafia or Street racing/Fast and Furious AU but I haven’t planned them out yet so I’m not sure. 
4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?
I’m really enjoying writing Only the Already Bad Can Be Influenced/Crop top and short shorts fic it’s so ridiculous and I’m enjoying writing something so silly. 
5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?
Post lawsuit- I'll Call Your Mom fic Definitely, in fact, I haven’t even started this fic because I know it’s going to be a tough write and I wanted to be in the right headspace myself before I tackle the tough subjects that are going to be in it. It kinda scares me, I don't want it to send me into a depressive spiral but I also know it will be kinda cathartic so 🤷🏻
6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?
Librarian AU/Let me check you out and You make bad day infinitely better because I'm writing them from someone else's idea. Like don't get me wrong I love the ideas but I'm constantly doubting if it's what they had in mind and if I'm actually doing it justice.
7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?
I don't usually get my fics beta read (not that I'm against it.) But I'll probably get my angst fics that deal with hard topics a sensitivity reader to make sure I'm dealing with them with respect. I do send snippets to @eddiediaztho and we've brainstormed a few ideas for some of these WIPs.
8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?
Oh yeah all of them at some point and most of them atm.
9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?
No major oc, just a few names here and there especially in Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em because none of the fire fam are in this fic so I had to create some characters to be in Buck and Eddie’s life. 
10. Which WIP is the sexiest?
I don't know I write a lot of smut. I suppose it depends because in sword buddie pt. 2/ Under the Guise of Violence and For you mi amor, I choose death/Buddie Mafia I'll probably be writing kinks I haven't before but I really want The heatwave fic to be super sexy like all the feel and just filthy sex (think @forthewolves vibes).
11. Which WIP is the angstiest?
Post lawsuit- I'll Call Your Mom(Noah Kahan) fic deals with Buck's terrible headspace after the lawsuit and something he tries to do to end it all or Don’t go where I can’t follow fic in which Buck is dying and Eddie is begging him to stay. Both will have happy/hopeful endings because that's something I need.
12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?
Either You Make Bad Day Infinitely Better or Someone to be Gentle- Buddie fic I think both of them really take the time to get into Eddie's head and what he's thinking and feeling. Also, Chapter Two of Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em explores Buck and his insecurities (sprinkled in between the smut of course).
13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?
Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em because of the Rodeo and the time I put in researching rodeos and bull riding. However I also like the more subtle setting of You Make Bad Day Infinitely Better- Eddie's child's home; the backyard, their childhood hideout and his old room. The setting plays a big part in the story so I tried to pay a lot of attention to it and make it as detailed as possible.
14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?
Probably the ones that I've had to research a lot for so Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em and Buddie MMA Rivals AU. Also, all the artwork I've done/doing of Rodeo Star Buck.
15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?
Ohhh Alright, Cowboy, Go Get 'Em because it's the longest fic and my first multi-chapter fic.
16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?
No, but I do turn some dreams into wips.
17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that that your other fics don't?
Street racing/Fast and Furious AU probably because it's based on a movie and I haven't done an AU based on another story yet. And it's going to have street racing which will be interesting to write.
18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?
Buck gets dumps, gets drunk with Eddie and thinks they slept together fic is going to be silly and goofy and I can't wait to write it.
19. 9. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?
No, but I do want to eventually, I'm still getting used to writing Buddie and fanfiction in general.
20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs
So I was right, no one was able to guess what WIP my Out of Context Line was from! It's from Someone to be Gentle- Buddie fic which is a 5+1 fic: Five times Buck is gentle with Eddie + One time Eddie repays his gentleness. It's based on my poem of the same name! The snippet is from the first chapter called To Hold Me While I Cry.

Uh so hi pookie I was wondering if you could maybe make a little something with your Evan x Steph or Jeff x Evan (or both!!) head canons but if you can't then that's ok 😍😍
a/n: absolutely omg ,, jeffan brainrot atm so you get that first,, the best power duo ever coming soon to your screenz so dw - this isn’t proofread so enjoy and if you see a mistake, no you didn’t.
- evan is a morning person, jeff is absolutely not so mornings go something like :
“mmh it’s only nine,, come back to bed evan i’m cold and lonely,,”
“daylights wasting jeff, c’mon let’s go do something!”
jeff is fast asleep.
- jeff is really flexible and it freaks evan tf out, so jeff will like bend his hand all the way back just to annoy evan
- evan rugby tackles jeff into cuddles
-when they spoon evan is big spoon and calls himself a jetpack.
“evan let me-“
“no i am big spoon. i am your jet pack. we’re soaring tonight babe,”
they’re soaring tonight
- jeff is just a really soft person, like physically is so fucking soft it’s scary,, does he use fabric softener as shower gel? probably,,, evan loves it
- evan sits on jeffs shoulders on couches. he feels like a bird.
- jeff has really sensitive ears so evan uses a quieter, softer voice when talking to him. he doesn’t wanna hurt his ears :((( <3
(like mike wheelers ‘will voice’ pretty much)
- t4t and their periods always sync so it’s like a ‘who’s sicker’ thing. it’s always evan.
- sometimes they just sit in silence and every so often one meows and then the other, then silence. they do this for hours on end.
- evan can crack any bone in your body and jeff is in desperate need for a chiropractor, match made in heaven <3
- evan is really good at spelling and shit, jeff can’t spell to save his life
- evan has bad acid reflux and jeff is terrified of anything puke related.
- jeff regularly stops evan from eating dirt. (he fails)
- they plan on getting a cat and calling it lion
- jeff was scared of every single dog except sparky growing up :(
- evan is absolutely rabid, he bites jeff
they’re so cute together it makes me so sad
this was kinda short but i hope you like it :3

Godfather
Request: I know your not doing requests atm but wanted to leave this idea for you since I thought your writing would do it justice!🥰 Reader is a godmother to 3 kids and is with Henry Cavill, the kids call him godfather since he loves reader and kids the same❣️
Warning: Fluff
Word count: 800+
Title: godfather
Pairing: Henry cavill x reader
Masterlist | request closed momentarily
Please don't post any of my content anywhere else without my permission. Comments and reblogs welcome!
Tumblr media
One thing Henry loved was being a godfather to your nieces and nephews. Ever since they first met him, they grew attached to him. He was a fun person to be around and it really .
-♥-
Your sister and her husband were going out of town and they needed you and Henry to watch their kiddos for them. You and Henry happily agreed to it. Henry made sure he did some cleaning up and made sure he had enough toys for when he came over. You told him they're going to be fine, but he insisted that they needed to be spoiled.
As soon as they arrived, they went straight to Henry. You and your sister watched from the door as they all tried to hug him at one time. 
"Wow they really love him. They didn't even say bye to me." You chuckled turning to her. "Yeah, sorry about that." Your sister laughed waving it off. "No worries, you just have fun with them. No surgery foods while I'm gone." She turned to walk back to her car. "Bye."
You waved goodbye to her watching as she got in her car. As soon as she pulled off, you walked back inside to your niece and nephews who were tackling Henry still,in a fit of laughter.
"Alrighty kiddos, let Henry breath a little." They all climbed off of Henry, turning to you. "Auntie y/n can we go and watch Superman?" Natalie your niece asked with a big smile on her face. 
"Yes! How about you guys go ahead and start watching it while Henry and I make some popcorn." They nodded and sprinted off to the couch. You laughed turning to Henry. "You okay big guy?" Henry nodded, "yes."
You chuckled under your breath as you walked to the kitchen. You popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave before turning to Henry. "So we have them for the next 24 hours. This is going to be fun." Henry nodded walking up to you, "yeah, maybe we can practice for when we have our own someday." He caged you in between the counters. 
"Oh that sounds like a nice idea." Henry was about to kiss you, but the microwave went off telling you the popcorn. Henry pulled away with a groan. You laughed and pulled the bag out of the microwave. You emptied it out into a bowl and handed it to Henry. He brought the bowl over to where the kids were, "here we go." 
He planted himself in between Natalie and Matthew, your oldest nephew. You walked into the living room and sat right beside David. You all begin to watch the movie, somewhere in the middle the kids lose complete entrance in the movie. They were now bugging you and Henry to let them camp out in the living room.
"Please uncle Henry, please!" David begged. Henry groaned playfully. "Uh ok, go get the blanket and pillows." They all cheered and went to get blankets from the bedroom. You stood up and laughed at Henry. "You caved way too fast." Henry rolled his eyes at and started moving the coffee table. A few minutes later the kids returned with a handful of blankets. You and Henry helped setting them up for the kids. When you and Henry finished, you all planted yourselves on the blanket. 
"Now uncle Henry tell us a story." Natalie demanded. "A story of how you met auntie y/n." Henry turned to you smiling, " how I met y/n, well… I was working on the set of Superman and y/n was there. I remember how beautiful she was. She was very clumsy that day, but still very beautiful." You gasped, but laughed.
" I remember being so nervous walking up to her. But auntie y/n was so nice and warm. I eventually asked y/n on a date and she said yes very excitedly it kinda scared me." All of the kids laughed at that part.
"But I said yes and took her out on a date the next day. And now we're married and I couldn't be happier." Henry winked at you making you look at the ground with a smile. 
"Wow that was so beautiful. I can't wait for you to give us cousins." Henry laughed, "yeah I can't wait either." You lifted your head up and looked at him.
"You don't have to wait very long. I'm pregnant." Henry gasped. "Really?" You nodded. "Yes." Henry was about to hug you, but Natalie and David beat him to it. "Oh my goodness." You laughed and hugged them. Matthew walked over to Henry, hugging him for you. "I'm so happy for you uncle Henry." He hugged him back. "Thank you buddy."
After the kids got their hugs in you and Henry walked into the kitchen to hug. You buried your head into his neck, "I can't believe we're going to have a baby." You laughed lifting your head to look at him. "Yeah. This is so exciting." Henry looked at you, a smile set on his face. "It really is." He kissed you deeper and gentler than he has ever. So much love and passion was put into the one kiss and you felt it.

Events(or even gachas I guess) I'd love to see:
The Seven Lucky Gods in one event(or even just the ones we have so far. . .the fact that Daikoku knows and associated with Benten and Ebisu at one point in their existence is completely worthy of acknowledging imo like pls. They're such different people. I wanna see them interact. Daikoku calls a temporary truce or spends the whole time trying to kill/subdue MC(who, as usual, is either uncomfortable, angry(which may or may not come in the form of flirtatious threats in a fight for dominance), or takes it so in stride even Daikoku couldn't keep up. . .he's never really met someone who wanted him to step on them before. . .oh and you want to lick his shoes? What a well behaved brat you are. . . .) and Benten just "could you knock it off with your creepy domeneering foot fetish until we get back to Tokyo please omg you're always like this." I don't know what they'd do together because I don't know them as well yet but just the fact that they have such different characters so far makes me want to see them all together.
Oops All Angels/Oops All Demons/The Sliding Scale Of Eden, which would be an angel/demon/Eden & Gehenna centric thing ofc. By which I mean GIVE US MORE MISSIONARIES I WANNA SEE THE MISSIONARIES-- I mean yeah biblical narrative and christian mythology is pretty well known but I like seeing how everyone feels about things and each other--like that Sitri saw Seth and thought he was Bael and when he realized he wasn't Bael he kinda started shittalking Bael kdbshdidj and how Lucifuge and Bathym both worked with Shaytan but Bathym was I guess closer because Lucifuge is afraid of fire--and where does Mephistopheles come in there? And I feel like we don't really know the angels' feelings towards one another and haven't seen them interact--Gabriel calls Azazel a snake(which is true, literally,) but she was also talking about wanting to touch the tails of Therians so I'm sure what she meant was "he let me touch his tail and did not hide the Consiquences of Touching A Therian's Sensitive Tail and I somehow didn't expect that and was Understandably Very Uncomfortable" so I don't know if that means she doesn't like him or if she was just being pouty over deciding she really shouldn't ask to touch his tail. At the same time I knoe this is probably VERY far off. Because MC already has the Ring of Solomon and we've had the 72 Pillars of Solomon mentioned and the demons' positions in the heirchy and [CHAPTER 11 SPOILERS:] MC is gonna have to reach/summon the Exception Solomon[/CHAPTER 11 SPOILERS] so. That's probably too close to Story Content for us to get too much of an event out of it yet. Plus there's Michael and I'm sure he'd be kicking and screaming as he's dragged through shenanigans in an event under the current circumstances, but could we really do an angel event without him now that he's there?
Literally anything with Bora Bora. And Babel. And. Just. Not that I dislike or am truly mad about it, but didn't the game introduce a world that's no longer in the Game and no longer connected to Tokyo before expanding on several of the worlds we already have? Babel only has Marduk, even. Ofc idk much about the mytholigies of Polynesia(you'd think I'd remember more, I read about them a bit back when Pokemon SuMo came out) or Babylon or Mesopotamia to say there's so much more to add but. There's never just one legend and one character and one story in a mythology. And Polynesian mythology is different in every area too isn't it? Even gods that they have in Hawaii are a bit different for the Maori, for example, I'm pretty sure--if only in name. There's so much that could be explored. I understand leaning on what's closest to you--hence why we have so many characters from mythology in Japan and nearby countries--but I'd also like to see others developed more lol
We've had an event centered around ogres/oni, an angel/demon event would probably have too many spoilers in it for the time being, we had the little bull-cebtric sort of mini New Years event, but I'd love to see more species-related ones like that too. Other 'characters with X in common' events could be fun too--dragons/lizards and the dragonkillers, for example. One Big Pile Of Kitties which is just feline Therians and friends all together. Maybe in Namjatown in Ikebukuro--which means Nomad gets dragged in as he kicks and screams that he is NOT a tiger!!! and Snow and Macan are like yeah sure we know but also this is Ikebukuro and Claude is paying you, to which Nomad just goes FUCK but I need the money so I'll deal. Maybe a mini extension of Year of the Guardian Dog where Agyo, since he insists he's a lion, wants to know more about how lions live in Tokyo, so MC once again runs around with him to introduce him to any lions they know(somehow this includes Oz shh don't ask questions) and Agyo's like "so many lions are big strong guardian lions too. . .I've gotta step up my game!" lol (Claude: oh so you have a guardian lion too? Shall we make them fight? Agyo: NO NO PLEASE NO NO THANK YOU I WOULD LITERALLY DIE?????)
Exiles' Lovers Valentine's Event where characters who were the lovers of/in love with/loved by the Exiles within MC squabble over them or something silly like that. Alternatively, put everyone who's expressed the strongest attractions to MC in one event. MC has to protect Shiro from them because he's probably the weakest link there--
Our World Is Gone So Let's Meet Up In Tokyo - Old Ones event(maybe there'd be a second one for other worlds that get destroyed like Yggdrasil. LET GARMR MEET HIS FRIENDS AGAIN.) Maybe a New Years event, but I'd love to see all the Old Ones we have so far in one place, assuming there isn't an in-game explanation that they can't be. Tsathoggua is convinced out on the basis of food more than out of a desire to see any of them(MAYBE to game with Tindalos and Azathoth in person. Canct play the classics online!). Snow and Claude tentatively let Cthugha out of his cell for a while(the event is implied to have had caused several repeats due to Cthugha explosions.) I haven't read Nightglows yet so idk where Nodens is at atm but he'd be there because I say so. Dagon obviously goes(he's probably the most social of the bunch aside from Nyarl--and Father Dagon is curious about his family too!). Shiro tentatively lends his body to Yog-Sothoth because "it's important to be with your family now and then if you have them!!!" much to Yog-Sothoth's eyerolling, and MC goes because either it was insisted on that they belonged there("You know I'm not. . .whoever you think I am, right? Okay. . . . .") or to make sure Shiro's body doesn't collapse under the strain or get involved in some sort of nonsense(he doesn't expect Yog-Sothoth to do anything crazy, he's been pretty unenthusiastic about everything so far, but you never know with these guys.) They keep calling MC this name they can't hear for some reason which isn't any better than when everyone calls them names they can hear really--in fact it feels a lot worse, like, Please Stop Saying Whatever You're Saying I've Started Taking Psychic Damage worse. MC makes a lot of comments about the sheer quantity of tentacles in the gathering my god(s) they are everywhere they've seen enough hentai and been around Dagon enough to know where this is going--
In the same vein, if we ever get more El Dorado characters, Xolotl wants to go to the Annual El Dorado Meetup or something similar but he's scared and brings Quetza--I mean MC with him as moral support. Understandably they get caught up in everyone going "omg gods", especially after Tezcatlipoca tackles MC to the ground at Mach 7 from 20 miles away when he heard they'd come along and accompanies them the rest of the event, assuming he doesn't pick them up and carry them away from Xolotl, who has to muster up the courage to follow after and get MC back since he brought them here to begin with. Only to find MC pacified Tezcatlipoca somehow and they ran into Itzamna and they're painting their feelings or something. Maybe the event also features a sacrificing and MC is like UH NO WE CAN'T HAVE YOU COMITTING MURDER IN TOKYO JUST BECAUSE IT'S OKAY BACK HOME PLEASE STOP lmao
. . .just silly thoughts. I've definitely had more ideas, but they're not coming to me rn.

Mistrust | Chapter 1
FF.net (unnavailable atm)
Summary: Rosa had enough with her adventure as a Pokemon trainer; and don’t get her started with her side jobs as a journalist or actress. However, one night changes her world as, one night, she meets Christoph, the superstar with a familiar smile. And that’s when all her problems started.
Rating: K+
Author’s note: I just had to upload this as a little innaugurative fanfic for this sideblog
“Yancy, no.”
“But, Rosa! Rosa, Rosa, Rosa!”
“Don’t try to woo me! I’m not going.”
My friend, who I jokingly call evil minx at times, pouted and held the tickets in front of her. She had jumped at me and almost tackled me to the ground, squealing about some concert she had tickets for. Supposedly, she had religiously queued for hours and legally paid for them hours later, running all the way to Undella Town (where I was currently staying) and pestering me about the issue.
However, I knew best. I have seen Yancy making friends around the studios, talking with important people from the company. Heck, she has a bigger social life than me, and I am the one who works there!
…or at least I think. She has never told me what’s her job. She could perfectly work for Team Plasma without me knowing.
The point is, I’m sure she got a hand on those tickets thanks to her friends around the stardom. She’s a intelligent girl, she can get pretty much of everything she wants. That nervous and happy demeanor of hers is what attached her to me. We’re very good friends.
In moments like these, I wonder about my reliability at making decisions.
“Aw, you are no fun, Rosa!” seriously, Yancy was basically stalking me through the town. I had better things to do, like healing my Pokemon, getting some repels and antidotes, trainer business! “C'mon, you’ve been travelling nonstop through the region for weeks!”
I sighed knowingly – Yancy was going to pull the puppy eyes anytime now. “You know, I’d rather lay down in the studio for months if it were my choice but, alas, I have important things to take care of.”
“Don’t you enjoy travelling?”
“Not to this extent. I’d like to settle down for a while somewhere instead of sleeping in Pokemon Centers every night.” I inawardly looked down. “I haven’t seen my mom for a while, or even visited Bianca. I haven’t seen Curtis much lately, either.”
“We can tell Bianca to come!”
I shook my head. “Bianca is busy with her own business in Reverse Mountain.” I arched an eyebrow. “Oh, I forgot to ask, whose concert is this?”
“It’s Christoph! He’s having a big gig at Nimbasa, in the Music Stadium!”
Oh,Christoph?
“Oh, Christoph?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
I literally jumped at her edgy tone. “Nothing, nothing! It’s just that his music…”
“Yeah…?”
“He has a great voice, ok?” Yancy nodded. “And he’s a great showsman and journalist. But his songs… like, the lyrics? None of them make me scream.”
Yancy giggled. “Yeah, I guess the company is a bit too hard on him with those. I can admit that some of them don’t suit him much.”
“Agreed.”
“Are you coming, then?”
I stepped into the Pokemon Center with a pink girl trailing near behind. “Arceus, Yancy. Just-”
“Pretty please!” she bowed to me while I gave my six pokeballs to the nurse. She was looking at the weirdo I call friend with a doubitative look. “I’ve waiting for this ocassion for way too long! Besides, I already got the tickets! It’s a shame to let them go to waste without us enjoying them!”
“Yancy, I would very much appreciate it if you would stop screaming, people are looking at us and-”
“I don’t care! Just come with me!”
“Yancy!”
“Pleeeeeeeeeeease!”
I rolled my eyes and groaned, exhausted.
“Fine, got it, we’re going. Now stop it, please?” the nurse tapped my shoulder and handed me the pokeballs, thanking me or the visit and wishing us a farewell.
As we exited the building, Yancy hugged me tightly and smiled brightly. “You’re the best friend EVER! We’re gonna have the best of nights, I promise!”
I reclutantly hugged her back. Deep down, I was kind of excited, too. Even if I wasn’t the biggest of Christoph’s fans, I enjoy gigs in general. Before my trainer career had begun, I used to go to as many concerts of possible. I loved Nancy’s songs to death, some of them were extraordinaire, masterpieces!
Nate, a friend of mine, was a big fan of her too. As far as I’m concerned, he had met her in a concert, but I’m not sure if they had kept in touch after that. Speaking of Nate, where was he? I should give him a call.
But there was another person who needed to be called quickly. “Hey, Rosa?”
“Huh?”
“Thanks for coming with me. And now I’m speaking out of pure gratitude, not sheer excitement. I wish Nate would come along as well.”
Ah, and I should also mention that Yancy had an Snorlax-sized crush on Nate.
“Have you spoken to him lately?”
“He’s at Driftveil with a friend searching for a certain herb that he can’t find in the wilds.”
I shrugged. “There’s a big market there that sells traditional cures for Pokemon. Tell him tp try there!”
“I’m sure he didn’t know that, you’re so trustful. Thanks!”
“Trustful, you said?” I titled my head. I had never heard that from no one in my entire life.
“Yeah! Like, I feel like I can always come to you when I have a problem! And I can tell you anything I need to, any secrets! I can, can’t I?”
I blinked twice and remembered a certain problem with Curtis that had been bugging me for a few days. Sigh. “Can you?”
Yancy looked at me, expecting me to elaborate. I sank in a bench nearby and slumped like a piece of bland fabric. “What’s with that?”
I looked at the sky above us, feeling small. “I think that Curtis is hiding something from me.”
Curtis had been pretty distant lately. Whenever I called him, we would have a second-long chat and he would hang up, because he needed to get back to work. I didn’t even know where he worked at, but whatever that kept him so busy wasn’t good. Once, I called him and he picked up dressed in a weird costume. I don’t remember what it looked like because it was a short glimpse and it’s been long since then, but I’d know if I saw it again.
“Don’t you know what he works as?”
“No, and it’s driving me insane.” I tugged at my hat. “It’s distancing us from each other. Whenever I call, he hungs up in a minute or so because he has to get his work done.” I sighed gripping my arms. “And, doesn’t he trust me enough to tell me what’s going on? Why not?”
I saw Yancy shrink after hearing that. “I see.”
“It… it kinda hurts a bit.” I spoke bluntly, feeling my hands tremble with hidden sadness. “But I guess he has his reasons to keep his mouth shut.”
Yancy stayed silent for a few seconds, as if pondering what to say. She, too, didn’t seem to know a bit about that. “You can always ask him about it for your birthday. By the way, I’m sorry I won’t be attending.”
I silently thanked her for changing the subject, because I didn’t like to dwell on the topic for too long. “It’s ok. Not many people are coming anyway, so I guess I’ll postpone it for a few days.”
“Why is that so?”
“Bianca’s busy, you’re busy, Nate’s busy, and Hugh…”
“Hugh?”
“He told me he loathed being a third wheel.” Yancy snorted. “So I guess it’ll only be Curtis and I. That, if he makes it like he promised.”
“It would be a good time for him to spill the beans about that mushy stuff.”
“Yeah. But I think I’ll let the topic go for now-”
“Do you really think he doesn’t trust you?”
I snapped my head back up and looked at her. Yancy held some kind of hurt look, as if it pained her to speak about it. She took my hand gingerly, pouring words into my heart instead of my ears. “If he isn’t telling you, it may be because he’s afraid of doing so. Maybe… you won’t see him the same ever again.”
At this point, her glance was off casted and she was kind of trembling. This set my mental alarms on fire, I went wild after seeing her so defeated. “Yancy, why are you so-”
“I’m-”
I gripped her hands tightly, interrupting her. The first thing that came to my mind was that she was hiding something from me too, but I shook the thought away. She was was too nice and sincere to cheat like that. Besides, what thing could be so terrifying to change my opinion about her, or them both? Nah.
“Is this… because of Nate?”
She looked at me deeply and… kind of nodded after a while. “Nate won’t stop liking you even if he knew you love him, Yancy. If you care about somebody, you won’t change your view on them for such a silly thing. Even if it was something more important than that, he would see the same in you.”
“Do you think so?” I nodded eagerly. “Do you think that if I kept a secret from him and then told him about it… he wouldn’t be mad?”
“Personally, I wouldn’t. If you’re keeping it inside it’s for a reason, right? I wouldn’t get mad as long as it’s not because you have serious trust issues against me.”
“You wouldn’t?”
I shook my head curtly.
“Even if it was a big secret I’m keeping from you?” she was shivering now, as if holding a strong feeling in. Her hands were white fists, holding something stronger than her in.
“You’re scaring me, Yancy. What’s got you so altered? Look, if you don’t wanna tell me, that’s ok, I-”
“It’s not that!”
I let go of her hands at the very moment she snapped. She then started to tremble with fear, and refused to look anywhere but her tighs.
“Yancy.”
I put a hand on her shoulder, making her look up. “It’s ok. Whenever you’re ready, you can tell me.”
“But, I-”
“I’ll admit, you’ve scared me a bit, but I’m ok with that as long as you’re ok with it as well. Whatever it is, I trust you.” I said dismissedly, because that’s all there was to it. I didn’t want to push her any further than this.
I never liked to dwell in dramas too much, and Yancy was too altered to give a proper explanation about it. Besides both of us needed a rest.
All I knew was that our friendship wouldn’t change no matter the secrets both Curtis and Yancy kept inside.
At least, that’s what I used to think.
Because now, I’m destroyed.
