More bf-gojo? I loved the perfect combination of fluff and smut bits. ★
your wish is my command!!! hope you enjoy :33
Bf-Gojo who loves when you surprise him at work bringing him some lunch and just keeping him company till the end of his shift. Sometimes if you had baked batches of cupcakes or cookies you would bring all of them sharing them with people all around his building, Gojo just admires how kind and considerate you are as you offer your freshly baked goods to his employees. He would sometimes leave things at home and calling you acting all stressed just so you come and join him helping to relive his stresses in more ways then one.
Bf-Gojo who now joins you when you have an 'everything day'. He's sitting on the counter as you carefully paint on the face mask onto him, your brows furrowing with concentration. It gives him another excuse to stare and admire you for longer. He is also surprisingly good at painting your nails so you let him paint yours as you gossip to him about the drama in your office and friend group and as much as he hates to admit he gets so involved and even begins to share his own gossip.
Bf-Gojo who enjoys exploring the city with you going in and out of art galleries and museums. His hand in yours as you talk him through the art on the walls explaining in detail the backstory behind each one. If it was anyone else he would simply tune them out but with you he listens intently taking in every detail. He adores how smart you are and praising you the whole time your in the gallery. 'Your such a good girl you know that right' he would whisper in your ear the grip on your waist tightening ever so slightly as you exit the building.
Bf-Gojo who gets more cocky knowing your the most perfect girl and knowing your all his just boosts his ego so much. 'Oh your so smart, the way you talked about those paintings got me so riled up' he'd say kissing down your neck as you bounce up and down on his dick, 'Your so perfect and you all mine. isnt that right darling?'. only able to whimper in response Gojo smirks at your fucked out state. His hand grabbing onto yours and placing it on your lower stomach so you can both feel how deep he is inside of you.
Bf-Gojo who babies you when your sick. He's pulling out all of the stops running you hot baths, cooking you soup and watching shit tv with you never leaving your side until you feel better. Gojo defiantly calls Nanami for help asking him for the best remedies and how to get you feeling better asap.
Bf-Gojo who secretly loves when you praise him, even just when you say how proud you are of him once he's completed an important presentation or saying how good he is when he helps out with making dinner. Your words going straight down to his dick till he cant take it anymore and having his way with you. 'f-fuck toru your s-so so good to me' your praises only making him harder and he knows its going to be a longg night.
Bf-Gojo who does anything and everything to make sure your okay. Your heels are hurting to much? he will carry you home so you dont have to walk any further. Your having a hard day at work? he will be there picking you up and helping you unwind in a steamy shower.
Bf-Gojo who cant wait to meet your parents, although he's nervous he knows how much they mean to you so being able to meet them only furthers his desire to wife you up a soon as he can.
Bf-Gojo who teases you about the way you like your coffee, 'I love you but thats coffee not tea doll why you adding so much sugar and cream' he would say as he sits sipping his black coffee. He laughs at how defensive you get calling him the weird one as your cheeks begin to redden at his teasing.
Bf-Gojo who wants to just spend everyday with you cuddled into him as he draws patterns up and down your back, and when you get up to grab a drink your ass pocks out from underneath his top and he can just sit against the headboard hands behind his head admiring his perfect girl.

Out Of State Adventures
chapter 43 of So Happy Together

Tags: @wumboho @pylopenpolo @duty-isnt-always-honour 
A/n: YOOO ELAINES ALMOST GONE IT HURTS also reader and Elaine's goodbye to her house is based of a song called little room by Dodie! Give it a listen for the full sad effect
  Time had gone by. You had seen Ben a few times between then, and now, but not enough to say you're dating just yet. He did keep his promise though. Every time he dropped you off or you left he would ask you to be his girlfriend. You would just laugh, and say bye. Now the summer is almost over. Elaine had her things packed, and ready to go for New York. You looked around the packed room in her home and felt a hint of excitement and sadness in your heart. This was it. The moment you guys had been dreading was coming, and she would have to leave you. Not only that but Hux is leaving too. You had looked in an open box in the corner of her room and saw a bunch of photos, and stuff to decorate her walls. You taped it shut, and wrote on the side what was in it. Her brother had walked by, and smiled at you. 
“Hey. You okay?” He asked walking back over. 
“What am I gonna do without her?” You asked him. 
“Dude, what's she gonna do without you? I know she's gonna be fine without seeing Matt, but you? I never thought she would go anywhere without you.” Sitting down on the bed you sighed. 
“Hey,” He began. “You guys will be fine. You’ll be up there with her in no time.” 
 He walked away again, and left you alone in the room. You looked at a spot where you guys had spilled nail polish on the floor during one of your sleepovers. On the floor was another stain you knew too well. Next to her desk was a dark spot on the floor from all the teas, and coffees shes dropped over the years. She had a bad habit of leaving her drinks at the edge of the desk, and accidentally dropping it. You were gonna miss that. At the dorm when you two put your desks together it was mostly so her mugs would just be pushed onto your desk instead of the floor. 
 You stood, and looked by her door. On the frame was marks that showed how much she had grown over the years. Closer to the top there were always two marks that were fairly close to each other. That’s when her parents started measuring your growth too. You had always wished they were your parents too. They had treated you like you were their kid too, and it always made your heart full when they would bring you to family holidays, and events. Behind her door was a bunch of different doodles, and writing. Elaine had people sign her door whenever they came over. You signed a bunch of times, but you still remember the first one. It was in the bottom left corner. A small heart with your initials in it. Under it you had written ‘your best friend until the end’. You ran your finger across it, and walked out of the room. Her parents had asked your grandfather inf they could borrow his truck for the move, and he happily handed his keys to you. 
The truck wasn’t enough so Matt was going to come by later, and help with the rest. The three of you were going to drive everything up to New York, and help her get settled in. it was going to be a lot of work, but you were ready for it. You know shes going to do the same for you when it comes time to leave.
“You okay? You seem a million miles away.” You heard her mother say. 
“I just cant believe shes already leaving. I feel like we didn’t have enough time.” You told her. 
“Well you both still have time. You guys have the rest of your lives I would say that’s enough time.” she smiled, and hugged you. 
“I feel like there’s never gonna be enough time for me, and her.” 
“Well you girls have been joined at the hip since you met.” she continued talking to you as you helped put more stuff in the bed of the truck. The day went on, and finally everything was done. 
 With the car packed all that was left was a few things for Matt’s car. You all had a 3 day drive ahead of you, which would certainly prove to be a challenge. Elaine, and you had hung out around her town while you waited for Matt to come get the rest of her stuff. The two of you had seen a movie, gotten lunch, and hung out at the park for a little bit. You were sitting on a swing with her watching a dog chase something when she called your name.
“Do you think New York will be fun? I'm scared it's not gonna be fun.” She asked. 
“Listen if it's not, it will be when me, Matt, and Phasma get there.”
“That is something to look forward to. Just wish Hux could be there too. I'm actually gonna miss him, and his dry humor more than anything.” 
“Wow, so you're going to miss Hux more than me?” You feigned offense, and she laughed at you. 
“Oh yeah definitely, what would I do without his remorseless gaze, and over gelled hair.” The two of you laughed. 
“I knew you were using me to get closer to Hux! To think all these years I thought I was really your best friend.” 
“No, it was all an illusion.” You laughed again, and stood up to stretch your legs out. 
“Hey, are you gonna miss me?” She asked, still sitting on the swing. 
“About as much as you’re going to miss Hux.” You joked. 
“I'm serious Y/N. I'm so scared. For the first time ever I'm really gonna be on my own. I'm scared to do it without you. I'm scared of you, and Matt forgetting me.”
“We could never forget you. If anything you'll forget about us. I mean you’ll be at a fancy school with fancy new friends in a fancy new city. You're gonna be great.” 
Just then you got a text. It was Ben. 
‘Hey kid, we're at Elaine's house whenever you guys are ready.’ 
You let her know, and you two left the park. The drive to her house was quiet. Neither of you sat in comfortable silence as she drove to her house. As soon as you got his car packed up you all would be leaving. Then the real anxiety would kick in. None of it ever felt real to you, and it probably wouldn't feel real until you got there. You saw the gate to her neighborhood, and felt nervous for some reason. You guys pulled into the driveway, and you saw Matt, and Bens car sitting with the trunk open. Just then you saw her brother, and Matt walk out with a few boxes. 
 Matt called out to Elaine as the two of you got out of the car. She ran over to him as he put the box down in the trunk. As they kissed you heard her brother groan and walk away. You went inside after him to help finish packing. You walked in, and saw Ben walking with a bag in his hand.
“Hey kid, I think she's only got one bag left, after that we're good to go.” He said stopping next to you, and kissing your cheek. His wording had gone over your head, and you just headed upstairs to grab the bag. 
  Her room was officially empty. All that was in it was her old bed, and a dresser. You picked the bag up from the bed, and headed downstairs. Ben had taken the bag from you, and placed it in the backseat. With that being done it was time to go. You, and Elaine looked at the house from your car. She asked to go in one last time before leaving, and the two of you walked through. You went to every room, and each room you passed through another memory came to your mind. Her parents room where you guys would have late night conversations with her mom. Her oldest brother's room where you guys would watch him play video games. The dining room where her family held so many dinners. Finally you got to her room. There were so many memories that came to mind it was overwhelming. 
 This room had seen a lot. You both had spent holidays here. Talked about boys, told secrets, laughed, cried, and smiled so much in this one little room. It had seen you, and her grow up. Now you guys were too grown to stay here anymore. She hugged you as you two walked out of it. It still didn't feel real yet. The both of you got downstairs to say goodbye to her parents. Her mother smiled as she hugged, and kissed Elaine. Her dad was crying as he held her tight. It would be a long time before they saw each other again. Her parents didn't like traveling so for the most part all their kids did this type of stuff themselves. At least her other brother had decided to go to college locally. 
“So, what's the plan? Are we dropping Ben off,and going from there?” Elaine asked. 
“I'm coming with you guys.” He stated.
“You are?” Elaine had asked. 
“Yeah.” 
“Haven't you had enough out of state adventures?” She asked him with an angry tone.
“You're still holding that against me?” 
“Ben I plan on holding it against you until I die.” He put his hands up in defeat, and walked towards your truck. 
“You're driving with me?” You asked him.
“Yeah kid.” He said as he got in. you looked over to Matt's car where you saw Elaine, and Matt getting in. 
“When are you gonna stop calling me kid?” you asked as you got in, and started the car. 
“Until you let me call you my girlfriend.” 
“You are persistent i’ll give you that.” 
“Hey we got a 3 day drive ahead of us. I bet by the end of this you’ll say yes.” 
“Alright its a bet.” You said with a smile. 
 You had been driving for 6 hours already. Night had come, but you all still got as far as you could. You all wanted to at least get across state lines before stopping for a rest. Driving with Ben hadn’t been as unbearable as you thought. It had been fun to your surprise. He would blast music, and the two of you would sing along. He had a habit of badly dancing during some songs though. You thought the drive would never end until finally you the sign welcoming you to the next state. You sighed with relief, and called Elaine. 
‘Hey there's a small motel up ahead we’re gonna stop there.’ she said as soon as she answered the phone. 
‘Thank god. I'm so tired I felt like I was gonna pass out.’ 
‘Don't pass out just yet we still have like 30 minutes before we get there.’ 
 You groaned loudly as you hung up. You were more tired than you were hungry. You all stopped at a gas station for snacks before leaving, and Ben had been handing you yours as time went by. It was a sweet gesture. Every now, and then he would pull out one of your snacks, and he would hold it up for you to take a bite while you kept your eyes on the road. He did it again once you had hung up knowing you would need something to keep you going until then. After, what felt like hours, you had finally seen the neon sign of the motel up ahead. You pulled into it following Matt to where he was going to park. You had to use the bathroom badly so you ran to it as the others checked it. 
 When you finished, and came out the only thing you saw in the parking lot was Ben leaning against the truck. You jogged over to him, and he smiled holding up a key. 
“Where's Elaine and your brother?” You asked.
“Well.” He began, “they didn't have any rooms with two beds. So we ended up getting two rooms.” 
“Okay. that still doesn't explain where they are.” 
“They decided to just share a room so you, and I will be rooming together.” You felt your face begin to heat up. Not only did you have to be stuck in a car with him for three days, but now you also had to sleep in the same room with him. 
  He grabbed your bag out of the car for you along with his. He handed over the key, and gestured for you to go ahead of him. You looked at the room number, and began to look for the room all while he spoke to you about little random things. You didn't dare to look at him as he spoke, because you knew he would see how red your face had gotten. You found the room, and opened it up. As you walked in you felt your heart stop. There was only one bed. You had hoped that maybe it was a room with two twin beds or something, but unfortunately the world isn't so kind today. The door slammed behind you, and you heard him put the bags down on the floor.
“I'm gonna go shower.” You said as you quickly went to the small bathroom, and closed the door. 
  You didn’t need to shower, but you were going to just to get away for a bit. You stripped off your clothes, and started the water, which to your surprise was pretty hot. You were about to hop in when he knocked on the door. Part of you planned to ignore it until he knocked again. You sighed, and wrapped one of the small towels around your body. You opened the door only a crack, and saw him standing against the wall next to the door. He held a pair of folded pajamas in his hand and he held them out.
“Figured you might need these.” He said shoving his hand, and the clothes through. 
“Oh thank you. It completely slipped my mind to grab some.” you said taking them out of his big hand. 
“I mean by all means if you don't need them feel free.” He joked as he gave you a big goofy smile. You playfully hit him, and shut the door. You placed the clothes down, and towel down on the counter when you heard him knock again. 
“Hey save some hot water for me i'm going in after you.” You heard him call out from the room.
 You smiled to yourself, and got in. the entire time you wondered what you were supposed to do for tonight. You could sleep on the floor. He could sleep on the floor. If neither of you came to an agreement about who would sleep on the floor, then maybe you could just use pillows to make a wall between you two. The shower didn’t last too long. You wanted to save him some hot water so you only stayed in for a few minutes before hoping out. You dried your body off, and grabbed another towel for your hair. After changing ino your pajamas you walked out, and saw him laying on the bed. It had new sheets,and a new blanket. 
“Did you change the bedding?” You asked him.
“Oh yeah. My mom always does it at hotels so I guess its just a habit I picked up from her.”
 Just then he jumped up, and grabbed his clothes. He walked to the bathroom. Once you heard the door close you sat on the bed. It was surprisingly soft. You laid down for what you thought would be a second until you fell asleep.
  You woke up slowly. First you just heard the things around you like the birds outside, the cars passing by, and the breeze going through the trees. You moved your body a little when you felt something on you. You linked once. Then twice. Then you opened just one eye to try, and adjust to the lighting. You were facing the window. The sun was shining through the little hole between the two curtains. It couldn't have been too late. Maybe 9 or 10 in the morning. Slowly you reached up to feel for the towel you had fallen asleep with. It was gone. It must have fallen off in the night. At this point you could comfortably open both eyes. You tried to sit up, but something was weighing you down. 
  Slowly you turned your head, and saw Ben sleeping next to you. His body was facing yours, and he had one arm under you, and one on top of you. He looked peaceful. You watched as his nose flared a bit while he breathed, and his lips twitched slightly. He tightened his grip on you a bit as his sleeping body felt your movements. You turned so you were looking up at the ceiling. As you did so you heard him groan, and mumble something under his breath. You smiled, and closed your eyes again. You began to drift off again when you felt him pull you closer, and lay his head in the crook of your neck. You placed a hand gently on the side of his face as you felt his breath tickle your skin. 
  Sleep took you again. This time you woke up, and he was gone. You sat up, and looked around. It was less bright for sure. This time it had to be maybe 12 or 11. The place where Ben had slept next to you was a bit messed up. You stood, and saw the towel that was on your head had been placed back on the chair by the front door. He must have taken it off for you, and placed it there. You slowly walked to the bathroom, and got ready for the day. As you finished getting dressed you heard the door open. Ben called your name out, and you walked out of the bathroom. He had a small bag in his hand, and he placed it on the side table by the bed.
“Drove like 30 minutes to get us some breakfast. Hope you like egg, and cheese bagel sandwiches.” You smiled, and walked over to grab one of the sandwiches from the bag. 
 You opened it up, and began eating when he sat next to you to do the same. You tried to avoid looking at him as you slowly ate. He cleared his throat, and then spoke. 
“So, uh, you sleep good kid?” He asked before taking another bite. You swallowed, and thought for a second.
“Yeah, I did, thank you.” 
“You fell asleep with the towel on your head, but I took it off for you.” 
“Yeah I noticed. Thanks.” 
“Oh yeah no problem.” He said as he finished his sandwich. 
It felt awkward. Like he knew that you saw him cuddled up against you like a big puppy. It was probably best to get it out of the way before you had to sit in a car for 12 hours together.
“So last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.” You finally said. He smiled a bit as he cleaned up the room. 
“Oh yeah? Why did you think it would be bad?” You stood up, and talked as you packed up your things. 
“I don't know. Just thought it would be awkward sleeping in the same bed together or something.”
“Well I can't say I have any complaints either. You're much better to sleep with than Rey.” your face flushed. 
“Really?” Was all you could bring yourself to ask. 
“Yeah. she never let me hold her while we slept. She's also a bed hog. I would always wake up with Half my body hanging off the bed while she was stretched up.” You laughed while helping him get his sheets off the bed. 
“I completely forgot she does that. When we were kids she would always kick me off the bed, and I would have to go sleep with my grandparents or sleep on the floor.” 
“Yeah exactly! When she would stay at my house I would have to go to the guest bedroom.” 
“Did she ever kick you in her sleep?” You asked. 
“No. She would just slowly push me away.” 
“Well at least she grew out of her sleep kicking. I would wake up with bruises on my back from her kicking.” He laughed as you two finished packing up. 
 You guys stayed chatting as you got your things together to go meet Matt, and Elaine. You both waited by the car, and talked as you waited. After a few minutes you saw them both walk out of their room. They talked as they came down before Elaine saw you. She ran up to you, and you two talked for a bit while the boys went to check out. 
“Sorry we dumped you with him. I wanted to room with you, but Matt really wanted to stay with each other.” 
“It's fine. It wasn't all that bad either.” You said with a smile. Her jaw dropped as she saw your face turn red again. 
“Oh my star. Did you two do something?” She asked. 
“Oh, god, no. I passed out after I showered. I did wake up to him holding me though.” She jumped up, and down a bit while clapping her hands together.
“Yes!!! I know for a fact Solo men are great at cuddling,so how did you like it?” 
“It was so great. I will admit though I think I enjoyed my night with Hux a bit more.” 
“That feels like it was ages ago. To think that was the day we got your dress.” 
“I know. I feel like it's all moving by so quick.” She hugged you, and you both turned to see the boys walk out. 
 They let you know that you had been all checked out, and were set to go. Elaine pulled away from you, and gave you a wink as she walked away. You turned to get in when Ben came behind you, and offered to drive. You gladly handed him the keys, and made your way to the passenger seat. This went on for the rest of the trip. You would stop somewhere, and switch seats. He would drive, then you, then him, and back to you again. Night came again, and once more you two were placed together. The both of you would sleep, cuddle, wake up, eat breakfast, and leave. It stayed that way until you had finally arrived at NYU.

✰✰✰✰✰
“So???” Emily said immediately as you sat down at your usual table for lunch. You dropped your salad and slid into the seat next to Ally. 
“So what?” You asked, even though you knew exactly what she was talking about. 
“Tutor boy! Is he hot for teacher yet?” Emily said with a wink. 
“God, Em, you’re the worst.” You replied. 
“And you are avoiding the question.” Isabelle said as she grabbed your iced tea. “You can have this back after you dish.” 
“Fine. His name is Tom Holland-” you were interrupted by Ally choking on her water, spitting all over her empty plate. 
“Tom Holland?! God, Y/N, I am so sorry.” Ally said. “He’s the fucking worst.” 
“What what what explain now.” Emily said in one breath. 
“Ok so first of all he’s super hot, so no matter what he auditions for, he always gets cast. In fact, he’s currently starring in Romeo and Juliet, which if you remember I’m stage managing. So needless to say, I unfortunately have to work very, very closely with him.” 
“Al, why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Emily said giddily. 
“For Y/N’s sake, I was praying it wasn’t him.”
“What was he like?” Isabelle asked you. 
“Well he came up to me and hit on me before realizing I was his tutor.” You said, and then proceeded to tell the rest of the horrible story of your first encounter with Tom. 
“Ohmigod he’s totally into you,” Emily said in one breath. 
“Yeah, you need to stop tutoring him.” Isabelle said. 
“Iz, are you INSANE?!” Emily replied. 
“What? He’s obviously incredibly disrespectful. She shouldn’t waste her time.” 
“Look, I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. The second he breaks a rule, I’m done.” 
“I love it when you give boys rules, it’s so hot,” Isabelle said and you all laughed. 
The rest of the day passed by relatively quickly, and thankfully the delta nu meeting finished early, meaning you could get some work done before Tom showed up. 
You were sat in the hlab, getting some work done for your political conflict class, when a figure slid in across from you, pulling one of your headphones out of your ear. 
“Jess!” You greeted Jessie with a smile. 
“I have goss.” She replied. Just like Jessie, always straight to the point, and always the center of gossip. 
“About who?” You asked, intrigued. 
“You.”
“Me?” She nodded, a giddy smile on her lips. 
“Word around the quad is that a certain tutee of yours has a little crush.”
“Jessie, what are you talking about.” 
“Tom told Harrison, who told James, who told Max, who told me that he said you were gorgeous and that he didn’t think he could work with someone he was so attracted to.” You rolled your eyes. 
“What a bunch of bullshit. He’s just a horny frat boy.”
“Y/N! You LOVE horny frat boys!”
“Well he’s not my type.” 
“How?! He’s absolutely gorgeous.” 
“You fuck him then!”
“Believe me, I’ve tried.” Jessie said with a laugh. You raised your eyebrows. “Okay, I haven’t really tried, Max has this rule about me fooling around with his frat brothers.” 
Max and Jessie were unseperable ever since freshman seminar, when Max came out as gay at an hc party and Jessie decided he was adorable and needed her protection. Since then, Jessie was a rock for Max, and no one, besides the juniors in hc, knew he was gay. Including his fraternity brothers. 
“Whatever, I’m not interested.” You said. 
“Y/N you truly are impossible sometimes. You’re never gonna get frat bingo until you get delt, and he’s a delt.” You sighed. After being roofied by a delt freshman year, you almost gave up on frat bingo. You would’ve been the first in your friend group to get it if you hadn’t given up on delt. Ally dropped out sophomore year, Isabelle fell behind when she got a boyfriend, and Emily was a bit behind you. 
She would never admit it, but Emily was a prude. To an extent, of course. She played the flirt so well people didn’t realize that she rarely slept with guys, and never guys she didn’t know. 
“Look I need some food. I’ll see you tomorrow?” Jessie asked. You nodded, and immediately began texting your friends.

You put down your phone, pulling out your political conflict textbooks and start reading. Soon, you were engrossed in the greek war of independence, completely forgetting where you were or what time it was. 
Books did that to you too often. In fact, it made you insecure. For so long you didn’t think you were as smart as the other hc kids, you were just a fast reader. Freshman year, when you really got close to the other hc kids, you realized that they were your people. You belonged. 
You glanced at your phone. 9:45. He was a half hour late. 
You debated texting him, but decided against it. You would wait for him to show up, tell him he broke a rule, block his number, email G, and move on. 
It took another ten minutes for him to show up. 
“Evening sweetheart,” he said as he stumbled into the hlab, which was now completely empty except for you. He sat across from you and started unzipping his backpack. 
“No need to unpack, this shouldn’t take long.” You said. He looked at you quizzically. “It’s two minutes before ten. You’re incredibly late, and my time is incredibly valuable. It’s also fairly obvious you’ve been drinking. I don’t have time for slobs who get drunk on a Monday and aren’t respectful to people who are giving up their time to help you.” 
You slung your bag over your shoulder and started to walk out. 
“Y/N, c’mon, you’re being dramatic. I promise I won't do it again.” He said from behind you. You stopped cold and turned slowly to face him, although he was still a good 10 feet away from you. 
“Did you just call me… dramatic?” 
“I’m sorry, darling, but you were-”
“Stop. Do not call me darling, and never, ever call a girl dramatic. I made myself crystal clear, both yesterday and today, you do not deserve my time, Tom Holland.”
“Y/N-” 
“I truly wish you all the best and I hope you’re able to graduate, despite having less brain cells than a cantaloupe.” You felt your words sting him, but you didn’t care. He was disrespectful, he deserved it, you told yourself. 
“Y/N.” He said, his voice cracking. He took a deep breath. “Please don’t leave. I’m sorry.” This was not what you were expecting from him. 
He sighed, sitting on his chair. You cautiously leaned against the table behind you, looking at a boy close to tears. 
“What are you sorry for?” 
“I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable. I’m sorry for being late to our meeting, and I’m sorry for showing up drunk.” 
“Tell me why.” 
“I’m sorry?” He asked. 
“Tell me why you’re late and why you’re drunk and I’ll consider helping you.” He looked at the ground again. 
“Any chance I can get a shot first?” He jokingly said. 
“You are already pushing your luck, Holland, do you really want to make it worse?” 
“Fine, I’m sorry. I was late and drunk because I was embarrassed.” You raised your eyebrows. “To be honest, I knew who I was looking for yesterday. I hit on you to break the tension.” 
“Why were you embarrassed? And, wait, you knew who I was?” 
“I looked up your instagram before we met so I’d know who to look for, and I hit on you because I didn’t want you to help me.” 
“And why were you embarrassed?” He started playing with the cuff of his sleeve, still not looking at you. “Tom.” You said, getting him to finally look at you. 
“I was embarrassed because I’m flunking out of school and need a tutor, and my tutor asked me to meet in the most intense place on campus.”
“The hlab? Intense?”
“Y/N, you need to be, like, a genius to even be considered for this program. And here I am, a theater major who can’t even pass a class about the stars.” 
“Astronomy is about a lot more than stars, if you bothered to open your textbook, you’d know that.” He stared at you, and you noticed tears coming to his eyes. 
“I can’t be tutored. I can’t. I’ll figure something else out.” He hastily grabbed his backpack and prepared to walk out the door, but you grabbed his backpack, turning him around. 
“Stop. Open your backpack.” He looked at you, confused, but obliged, holding the backpack open in front of you. You looked through it, noticing five notebooks, and a folder. You pulled it out, riffled through, and saw a schedule along with five syllabi. You nodded and looked back at him. 
“The list?” You asked. He pulled a folded piece of paper from his back pocket and handed it to you. It had the list of assignments you asked for. You nodded again. 
“You need to be making a list like this every friday for the upcoming week, got it?” He nodded and then zipped his backpack, turning back to the door. 
“Where do you think you’re going?” You asked, your arms folded. 
“Home?” He asked. 
“Nope. Sit.” 
“You mean…?” “You were disrespectful. I will not forgive you for that, but as your tutor, it’s my job to help you, no matter how stupid you act. And to be clear, I was not calling your intelligence stupid. I was referring to the fact that you already broke a rule, and of course, the unspoken rule of not showing up to sessions drunk.” He slid into the seat across from you and pulled out notebooks and pencils as you analyzed the list. 
“Have you done any readings this week?” He shook his head. “When you’re in class, do you feel like the teacher is speaking another language and all the other students understand it but you?” “Yeah, how-”
“Look, Tom, I’m gonna share with you the biggest college hack there is. All lectures are is the professor talking about the reading and helping you to understand the material. You cannot possibly understand the lecture without doing the readings. Once you start reading, the lectures will make sense, even if you don’t understand the readings the first time you read them. Make sense?”
“Well, you said read a lot…” You raised your eyebrows. “No, no, that makes sense.”
“When you go to class this week, you need to be taking notes by hand. Statistically you’re much more likely to absorb the material that way, especially without the added distraction that is the internet.” He nodded. 
“Last but certainly not least, we cannot start our work until you’ve done the readings. So I will see you Friday evening for a session, we’ll review the material of that week making sure you understand it, you’ll complete your homework on Saturday, and we’ll meet again Sunday night to review the homework before you hand it in. If need be, we can meet for a weekday session.” 
He raised his eyebrows. 
“Don’t question my methods. You are one more C- away from being kicked out of college. You like it here? Don’t wanna go back to the freezing rain in London? You’ll listen to me.” You packed your bag and Tom started to follow suit. 
“Nope.” You said, placing a hand on the notebook he was about to put in his bag. “You’ll stay here and do your readings for the rest of the week. No matter how long it takes.” “But this is-” “Hlab? I’m aware, but I guess you haven’t noticed that literally no one is here. No one is going to be mad that you’re here. Just sit and read.” 
“Y/N?” He called as you walked towards the door. “I’m really sorry.” 
“I don’t like apologies, Tom. Stop apologizing, stop being embarrassed, and do better.” 
You returned to your room, lying on your bed and opening back up your textbook, but not before texting your friends. 
♡girly girls♡

You were conflicted. You shared everything in your friends, but Tom was vulnerable with you and you didn’t want to betray his trust. 
You

It wasn’t long before you dozed off. Your alarm woke you up the next morning, your textbook still lying across your chest. You already had a few texts from your friends. 
♡girly girls♡

You checked the rest of your messages, surprised to see a blue bubble next to Tom’s name. 
Tom Holland
hey sorry but i dont think this is gonna work, sorry for waisting your time, ill tell gronsky to find me another tutor
You were shocked, quickly sending a text message to your group chat. 
Em
i thought you said everything was gucci ?
You
i thought it was….
Iz
pls text him back 
You rolled your eyes, realizing Isabelle was right. 
You
Stop being ridiculous. you misspelled “wasting”. dont forget handwritten notes in class today. ill see you friday.
He responded almost immediately. 
Tom Holland
I wasnt dicking around. rlly. this isnt gonna work. i already emailed gronk.
You sent an updated screenshot to your group chat, rolling your eyes, right as an email alert popped up to the top of your screen. 
SUBJECT: Thomas tutoring
Hi kiddo,
Not sure if this is a mistake but Thomas just emailed me saying you would no longer be tutoring him? I thought you would be a good match for him… Take the rest of the week, talk to him, if he still doesn’t want you as his tutor let me know by Friday so I can try to find someone new to tutor him. 
I know he can be challenging, but I’m sure you realize that’s exactly why I picked you. ;) (and also because no one else agreed to work with him)
G
You sighed. Of course. Typical G, giving you all the basket cases and expecting you to fix them. It was true, you never backed down from a challenge, but this one may not be for you. 
You looked at your phone and pulled out Tom’s schedule from your backpack. He was finished with statistics in a half hour, just enough time for you to get ready and go to the math and science building. 
You made it there with just a few minutes to spare. You stood outside the room, back against the wall, popping your bubble gum and waiting. The class let out, mostly sophomores giddily running off to lunch, obviously relieved to be done with class. 
Tom was one of the last ones to leave the classroom, and as soon as he saw you he rolled his eyes. 
“Hi Max,” you greeted Max who was walking next to him. 
“Y/N,” he said with a smile. 
“Are you TAing?” You asked, still completely ignoring Tom who was fidgeting in front of you.
“You know it.” 
“Mind if I steal Tom?” 
“No problem, see you at home dude,” he said and they did a stupid handshake. 
“Walk me to lunch.” You said and started to walk towards the door. “That wasn’t a question, Thomas.” You said when you saw that he wasn’t following you. He quickly caught up to you, but not before you overheard a groan. 
“Has anyone ever told you you are incredibly difficult?” He asked. You laughed, which surprised him. 
“That really doesn’t bother me.” 
“You can’t boss me around anymore, you’re not my tutor.” 
“See that’s where you’re wrong. I am your tutor, therefore I can boss you around.” 
“I fired you.” 
“Good thing I don’t work for you, then.” He sighed. 
“Y/N.” He said and stopped in the middle of the walkway. 
“Thomas.” You said in the same tone. 
“Why are you doing this?” 
“A little bird who may or may not be Gronk told me that no one else would tutor you. So I am very sorry Mr. frat boy, but it looks like you’re stuck with me.” You turned and continued walking. 
“Seriously?” He said as he fell into step with you again. “Pity?” 
“Stop being difficult.” You said, smiling as you used his words against him. 
“Whatever. I’ll give you a week before you give up.” You laughed. 
“I don’t quit, Holland. I’m incredibly competitive and you will not win this fight.” He looked unhappy, but held the door to the dining hall for you. 
You approached your usual table, Tom following close behind. You turned to him before taking your usual seat. 
“I know you didn’t finish your readings last night. Go find a place to finish them. Take good notes. I’ll see you Friday at 4, if you’re late, there’s gonna be a problem.” He simply nodded and walked away, greeting some friends he knew in the cafeteria. 
You turned to your friends, all of whom were suspiciously quiet. 
“So…” Isabelle said, finally breaking the tension. “I guess you’re still tutoring him?”

What we’ve always wanted!
wildefire said:If you’re still doing requests I’d like to know if you could do a stucky x reader skit? Where the reader and has a sort of jealous animosity towards the bous, and the rest of the team gets tired of it so they get locked in the gym together?
I hope this is okay. Sorry it’s taken me a while, I kinda struggled with it strangely.
Y/N: Where are you?x
Steve: out with Bucky, why?x
Y/N: Oh... we were meeting for lunch, remember?x
Steve: yes?
- Sorry doll. I completely forgot.
- Bucky says you’re welcome to join us. Will you? Please?x
Y/N: I’m okay, thanks. It was only for a catch up x
I sighed as I walked into the common area with my earphones in, blasting AC/DC. Thanks, Tony. I had’t been back to the tower all day and I’d been avoiding any calls. I just needed to be on my own for a bit. Sometimes I found being an Avenger overwhelming. I wasn’t a ‘super-soldier’ like Steve or an amazing assassin like Natasha. I was a computer geek, a hacker so to speak.
For what seemed like the 100th time my phone rang and I hung up. Suddenly my earphones were pulled out of my ears scaring the hell outta me. “What the-”
Steve frowned down at me, his arms folded over his chest. “Why’d you hang up?”
I rolled my eyes with a sigh. “I’m in the tower. I was gonna come and find you.” I lied, hoping Steve wouldn’t look into it.
“Right, so, you’ve been where, all day?” Steve shrugged his shoulders as he asked in his Cap voice. I rolled my eyes again at him. “Y/N! Stop, with the eye rolling, it’s annoying.” he sighed.
I shook my head, looking him up and down. “Where are you off?” I referred to his appearance.
“Oh, Bucky, Sam and I are going out for the night.” he beamed. My face dropped at his words. “Don’t change th-”
“Are you kidding me?” I creased my brow.
“What?” he shrugged.
“It’s Saturday night.” I said like it was obvious. He shrugged again. “We were gonna watch the next series of Sherlock, together.” I frowned.
“Oh, we’ve already watched it.” Bucky pattered my shoulder as he walked past me. I growled a little as I watched him enter the elevator with Sam.
I turned back to face Steve. “Why’d you watch it with, him? That was our thing.” I frowned.
Steve began laughing at me. “C’mon, doll. I can watch it again with you.”
I shook my head. “No you can’t. You’ve ruined it.” I sighed pushing passed him.
Bucky sighed dramatically. “You’re such a baby...C’mon, Punk. Let’s go.”
After binge watching Sherlock for about seven hours in my room, I headed down to the kitchen to get something to eat. It was well after 1am so most Avengers will have already turned in for the night. “Isn’t, it, past your bed time?” I ignored Bucky as I passed him, Steve, Sam, Natasha and Thor who were in the common area drinking. “See! I told you, she hates, ME!” he laughed.
I stood in the kitchen making myself a sandwich for myself trying to ignore the laughter in the next room. “Okay, what’s up your butt?” Nat asked from behind me.
“Nothing.” I shrugged.
“Y/N, don’t try to lie to me. I know you like the back of my hand.” she smirked as she stood next to me. “Spill, now.” she demanded.
I sighed putting the knife I had in my hand down. “I- I just... feel, I dunno-” I shrugged shaking my head. “Lonely.” I frowned looking up at her. “Without... Steve.” I dropped my head.
“Sexually?” she questioned with a raised eyebrow.
I screwed my face up ‘ewing’ at her. “What? No!” I shook my head almost gagging at the thought of me and Steve.
“OH MY GOD!” Bucky burst out laughing behind us. “That’s, hilarious!” he held his stomach as he bent over laughing. I groaned closing my eyes, wishing the floor would just open up and swallow me whole.
Steve ran into the kitchen along with Sam and Thor, all looking ready for an attack. “What’s wrong?” Sam asked.
“She- her-” Bucky couldn’t talk cause of the laughing. “Brother-”
“Brother?” Steve raised his eyebrow at Bucky before looking at me and Nat. “What’s going on, Y/N?”
I shook my head about to speak but Nat piped up first. “Y/N is lonely, without you.” my eyes widened. “Possibly sexually?”
Steve and I pulled a face of disgust at each other as we stepped away from each-other. Bucky began laughing even more as did Sam. “I do not understand? I thought the two of you were, siblings?” Thor asked.
Bucky managed to calm his laughing down a little. “That’s, what I was trying, to, say.” he snickered. “It’d be like Nat asking me it.” I rolled my eyes at him.
“Well, you and Steve are a lot closer tha-” Nat looked at me, a smirk forming on her lips. “Ah...” I shook my head as I once again picked my sandwich up and began leaving the kitchen. Nat following closely. “Are you jealous?”
“No.” I sighed as I walked into my room, sitting back on my bed. “I don’t hate him, either.”
“You heard, him?”
I nodded taking a deep breath as I placing my plate on the bedside table. “I don’t, hate him, Nat.” I sighed looking down. “Thor was right. Me and Steve were so close at one point, he was like my big brother but, I dunno, ever since Bucky came back into the picture... Steve’s, forgotten me.” I admitted. “I didn’t have a family growing up and Steve was starting to feel like what I was missing.”
“Have you told him? Them?” she sat up looking at me.
I shook my head. “Every time I try to, they go off to do something... I mean, are they fucking?” I blurted out making Nat burst out laughing. I covered my mouth as I began laughing with her.
Nat: Don’t forget training this morning x
- Don’t be late! x
Y/N: Yeah yeah. See you in 5!x
I headed down to the gym to meet Nat for our early training session. After last night I wasn’t really in no mood for anyone. I pushed the door open expecting to see Nat already running on the treadmill or getting somethings out for our session. “Nat!” I shouted. “Nat?” I frowned as I lifted my wrist to look at my watch. “Asshole tells me not to be late.” I muttered.
“Language!” I jumped at the sound of Steve’s voice behind me. He chuckled as he walked over to me. “What you doing here?” he asked dropping his stuff next to me.
“Having a party.” I shrugged. Steve rolled his eyes looking away. “That’s annoying.” I smirked a little, mocking him. “Why are you here? Don’t you usually go for a run this early?” I asked.
He nodded. “Yeah, but Buck wanted to train in here this morning.”
“The hell I did.” Bucky announced his arrival as he burst through the door. Both Steve and I frowned at his loudness. “You, were the one who wanted to train. You said it was a tea, thing.” he shrugged.
Before I could say anything else the sound of the doors being locked caught our attention. “YOU THREE AREN’T LEAVING UNTIL YOU TALK!” Natasha shouted through the door.
“About what?” Steve asked.
“Y/N knows!” Sam shouted.
I sighed shaking my head. Of course she told him. “There’s nothing to talk, about.” I answered.
“Not even the feeling lonely without, Steve?” Bucky smirked at me over his shoulder.
I rolled my eyes as I turned round to take a seat on the bench. “You make me sound creepy, saying it like that.” Bucky began laughing at me, making me annoyed. “Why do you think I hate you?” I asked.
“You do.” Bucky sighed resting his back against the doors.
I shook my head sighing. “I don’t, Bucky. How could I?... you’re lovely.” I smiled at him, making him look away trying to hide his reddening face.
“So, why do you, act, weird around, me?”
“Cause, I’m jealous.” I admitted.
“Of Bucky?” Steve chuckled taking a seat next to me.
“Thanks, Punk.” Bucky frowned at him.
Steve held his hand up in defence before putting his arm around me. “Y/N, you don’t need to be jealous of Bucky.”
“I’m not!” I got up quickly. “No offence dude but, my life is pretty good... apart from my parents dying when I was a kid...” I frowned. “I dunno, ever since you came back into the picture... Steve’s, forgotten me.” I admitted.
“I haven’t forgot about you, Y/N.” Steve admitted. “But, Bucky needs me more than-”
“No, I don’t.” Bucky sighed getting up. I watched him as he walked over to where we were. “Look Steve, I appreciate everything you and everyone has done for me so far but, I’m not a porcelain doll. You can leave me on my own once in a while.” he smiled placing his hand on Steve shoulder before sitting down next to him.
“I know, Buck, I just... worry, about you.” Steve sighed. “I’m sorry... to the both of you.”
There was silence in the gym for a brief moment before Bucky spoke up. “So, what are you jealous of?”
“Hmm... Steve’s like my big brother but I kinda feel like, he was just waiting for you... I didn’t have a family growing up and Steve was starting to feel like what I was missing.”
Bucky sighed getting up form the bench and stepped forwards. He hesitantly lifted his arms and wrapped them around me, pulling me into a hug. “Ya’know, I always wanted a little sister.” he smiled against the top of my head.
I wrapped my arms around him as I smiled into his chest, holding him closer. “Me too.” Steve joined the hug, making me laugh as they squashed me between the two of them.
“GET A ROOM!” Sam shouted, causing the three of us to let go of each other. “AH! What was that for?” I burst out laughing, knowing Natasha probably punched him in the arm for ruining a nice moment.

INTRODUCTION TO KETO Keto is an amazing diet and/or lifestyle that when paired with multiple other forms of healthy choices can be a quick way to lose a few pounds or a healthy way to live longterm allowing you to still enjoy life without estranging yourself from your friends and family.  It is very flexible and people that stick to keto find themselves in love with it and raving about their success, as long as they gave it the proper chance! I myself lost ten pounds the first week I did strict keto and I knew then I was hooked!
SCIENCE BEHIND KETO AND WHY IT WORKS The common american diet is very high in sugar, carbs, unhealthy fats, caffeine, sodium, etc. This recipe is a disaster waiting to happen, heart disease, obesity, cancers, diabetes, among a plethora of other terrible life stealing diseases that effect millions of americans. Whether you do a low carb, or low calorie, or low red meat and fat diet, the idea remains the same.  Reduce calorie intake vs output, avoid foods that cause inflamations or gastro-intestinal upsets, and eat filling whole foods that offer a lot of nutrient density. Now, the reason that keto works so good is the science behind the diet: When you reduce the amount of sugar (glucose)  your body intakes, which is its normal source of fuel, it panics, uses what it has, burns glycogen which is stored in the liver and muscles, and finally switches your body to KETONES (which burns FATS for fuel instead).  When your body is in Ketosis, it will burn your body fat and consumed fats for energy, to do normal body functions.  This sounds like a miracle, and I can honestly say it is.  Most average americans have anywhere from a 20%-50% body fat ratio, men usually on the lower end of that, where anything over 30% is usually considered overweight.   That being said, most people have a lot of fuel to burn that they would never have burned if they were eating a large amount of carbohydrates that the body prefers to burn first.  You literally have your own fuel just waiting to go, and you will feel awesome when you see the fat melting off your tummy, thighs, back, face.  :D
Myths and Misconceptions When I first started keto I thought I could eat as many hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings, ranch dressings, etc as I could stuff in my face.   Truth be told you can, but your body will be severely lacking vitamins and minerals that you need to be healthy so I would suggest making sure to vary your diet, always include a healthy fat (example: salmon, avocado, macadamia nuts) and lots of greens whenever possible.  If you absolutely cannot, taking a high nutrient density multi vitamin is really smart, as well as looking into electrolyte mixes or supplements. People will try to bully you or shame you for not eating "just one this" or "you have to try a bite" and after a little while, you absolutely can! But during the first month or so, til you become "fat adapted" it is best to be as diligent as possible, and you will be really proud of the results. Not all fats are created equal:  While dirty keto does exist and sometimes is necessary, try to remember that quality of your fuel will always dictate how you feel.  Will you feel better after a slice of greasy pizza or a big salad with lots of veggies and roasted turkey? Easy concept. You don't have to starve yourself.  This was the hardest part for me to learn at first.  Keto foods are filling, yummy, and full of flavor, so eat til you're about comfortably full and give the fork a rest.  You'll find you're sated for many hours! Not all people get the keto flu.  Some adapt to eating high fat really well with minimal issues.  If you are feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or stomach sick, make sure you have plenty of water and if you need to, have a shot of pickle juice or a sprinkle of salt in your water.  Vitamin water ZERO is also a decent way to get electrolytes without having to spend a lot on a supplement.  I'd avoid zero sugar gatorade though, the sweetener in it is sucralose which is bad for ketosis.
NOW TO THE FUN PART: THE FOOD! I do most of my shopping at a normal grocery store, and most of the things I mention can be bought at meijer, target, walmart, or whatever your local chain is. Buy organic if you want! But it isnt necessary.  Meats and dairy foods are best when bought all natural or organic if possible.  Look for words like grass finished, or pasture raised.
Breakfast ideas: Omelets - add whatever meats veggies and cheeses from list fit your choosing Cauliflower "hash" - sautee pieces of cauliflower with meats, veggies, top with cheese and let it melt :D keto "cereal" - 2 cups unsweetened coconut, sprinkle with cinnamon, stevia, coconut oil, pecans, macadamia nuts, whatever.  bake two minutes per side around 375 til toasted.  cool and serve with unsweetened hemp, oat, almond or soy milk and fresh berries if you want! Chorizo and eggs with avocado and sour cream - they do make turkey chorizo too! or make your own by adding hot sauce and spices to ground turkey.  :3 "Two Good" Makes a super low carb yogurt that tastes amazing  - i eat it with berries or a "Quest" brand protein cookie for breakfast! Chia pudding - 2 T. chia seeds, milk substitute or water, stevia, and whatever flavor you want to add! Peanut butter, cocoa powder for PB cup,  raspberry/almond,  blueberry/pecan.  Chill overnight, awesome grab and go Egg muffins  - mix up eggs like youd be making scrambled eggs, add some ricotta or cottage cheese (full fat only), add toppings, bake for 5-10 mins til middle is set (use a tooth pick).  Can freeze and pop in microwave or last a week in the fridge.  I like mine with pesto and mozzarella with tomato on top.
Lunch ideas: La tortilla factory low carb wrap "blt" - these tortillas are amazing and come in many sizes.  If you cant find those, find any brand that says "low carb" - look for net carbs under 6 for best choices.  Add avocado, turkey bacon, mayo if desired, lettuce, tomato, peppers, etc.  Eat with cheese chips (recipe in snacks) Soups:  Creamy chicken chili, broccoli cheese (substitute heavy cream and broth in place for milk in recipes) bone broth veggie soups (imagine PHO or Ramen with no noodles!) MAKE A BIG ASS SALAD WITH WHATEVER MEATS AND CHEESE AND VEGGIES YOU WANT   (that are safe on the list ofc) this is what i do a lot, and i put the dressing on the side so i can just munch on it throughout the day without it getting soggy.   If you find yourself picking certain parts out of your salad right away, try to focus on those more until your body is craving other things.  Some days i eat my meats right away, others i eat all my veggies.  Your body often tells you what you need without even realizing. If you're a grazer make a fruit and nut tray, or "lunchables" almost. There is a recipe for whats called CLOUD BREAD. It's basically like a fluffy meringue that is made with cream cheese and eggs. I dont make it a lot, I almost always would rather have those wraps.  They're that good and last longer :D Try to keep things with you that you know you will eat, rather than things you think you're supposed to eat, because cold fish sounds disgusting vs that yummy five piece chicken tender with hot sauce. >_>
Dinner Ideas: Dinner is my forte because for a long time I was doing OMAD keto, aka "One meal a day keto" where I would fast until dinner every day, except for coffee, tea and water.  During these times I dreamt up many cheat meals that I JUST HAD TO HAVE and went home and keto-ized em.  If there's a will there's a way, bahahaha. OMAD is not recommended at the start of ketosis because you may feel low on energy or dizzy sometimes and we want to avoid bad feelings during initiation so when you see the success you have you won't have a negative feeling as to why it happened.
LITERALLY IMAGINE YOUR FAVORITE DINNER. Whatever you're craving.  You can hack it. We got this.   Chinese/Take out? Easy mode.  You can make stir fries, fried cauliflower rice, sweet and sour chicken (using parmesan for a crust!), peanut "noodles" or "zoodles", egg foo young, etc! American: Wings, burgers, brats/sausages, grilled chicken, etc - most cook out foods in whole form are totally safe. Pair with grilled veggies or a salad, or make a pasta salad from zoodles with homemade italian dressing.  YUMMMM bish Italian: Low carb tomato sauces and "noodles", Fat head Pizza (link to fat head dough recipe will be at bottom.  This shit is dope.  I never even liked pizza before this).  Chicken Parmesan, "Spaghetti and Meatballs", Lasagna: AND OMG GUESS WHAT. Alfredo is like totally fair game, and its really good with mushrooms and chicken. :P Mexican: HOLY FUCK I EAT THIS STUFF SO MUCH.  Like, pretty much everything but the chips and rice are totally gucci for keto.  Taco/Burrito bowls, fajitas, ceviche, salsa, avocado salad, guacamole, and for dipping I make cheese chips or thin slices of cucumber spritzed with chili lime and salt. Greek: Greek salad, schwarma, gyros (either without bread or use the low carb wraps), hemp seed "Falafel", tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, olives, etc. I have even made indian and thai curries, moroccan food, middle eastern We have made chicken tenders, french fries, chips, "nachos", fish fry, breaded mushrooms, mozz sticks, cheese curds.  All your craving foods! The internet is wonderful for this, just make sure you are paying close attention to how much a portion is, or if its higher in carbs than you're allowed for the day.
Above I posted a picture for a shopping list.
This is a nice shopping list but I find it is sort of strict.  Try to stick to these items to start but You can add in things like more nuts or avocados, almond and coconut flours (to make cakes and breads!), and higher starch veggies and fruits as time goes on.  I get down on some cantaloupe pretty often, and have a cupcake at least once a month.
Intermittent Fasting IF is typically considered an advance technique or body reset especially after big meal days or cheating, and while it has amazing health benefits, I would suggest you research it yourself and decide if it's right for you.  I had a lot of luck with it because I hate to keep track of my calories on an app so I knew if I ate whatever I could within a five to seven hour period that the chances that I would eat more than 1800 calories would go way down.   Each person is different, if you feel physically hungry, don't deny that feeling. Here is a link that describes and explains types of IF. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/intermittent-fasting-guide#methods
What to do when you go out to eat We live in a time where many people eat low carb, or restaurants are very willing to wiggle with ingredients or substitutions.  Remember that nicer restaurants appreciate this less, but if you know that it will be happening, you can always call the restaurant and let them know in advance.  Many chefs are reasonable and want your business and willing to help. Always check the menu for words like, naked, ask for sauces on the side, try to stick to things that are usually safe, blue cheese, ranch, vinaigrettes, mayos.  When a dish comes with a carb side, most places will double up on steamed or grilled veg for very little extra or no charge.  I get steak with a literal dick ton of broccoli or asparagus and lotsa butter and its good and filling. :D Burgers can be put on top of a side salad , or ask for a lettuce wrap.  Make sure wings and chickens arent breaded before frying or baking.  Chinese restaurants usually have a section that has all the same ingredients but sauce on the side and veggies steamed, good for when you go out.  Egg drop soup is usually ok as long as you don't eat a gallon of it. If something comes that you really want, but can't have, just have one small bite and cover the rest of it with too much salt or ketchup or something than you can handle, or trade it away.  This will prevent you from eating it all. There's lots of options and understand that whenever you go out, there is a chance that you might slip out of ketosis.  Don't be discouraged because a small slip is a lot easier to deal with than a big one, and you will feel fine within 12 hrs.
What to drink and when Coffee, espresso, unsweetened teas, club soda or la croix like drinks with zero fake sugars added (look for aspartame, sucralose, dextrose, erythritol, etc), pure liquors with no added flavor or sugar (vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, tequila), dry red wine (cabernet, merlot) dry white wine (sauvignon blanc, brut champagne, pinot grigo, chardonnay).  Keep in mind that alcohol still contains a lot of calories and while it will not likely bump you out of ketosis, it does delay your body burning calories because it is too busy trying to destroy the evil alcohol from your bloodstream (dramatic music) so limiting intake in the first month really helps you to get in the swing and feel good and hydrated :P. Side Note: Ketal One makes new no sugar added Botanical Vodka and the Peach one and the cucumber mint one are fucking amazing, the end.
"Carb cycling" cheat days, and how to IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA CHEAT mentally prepare yourself for that.  Know what you want to eat, what isnt worth it, and how to stop yourself when you are done.  Ever been on a bender where you drank like three days in a row and by the end you're like dude wtf happened all I wanted was to drink friday night and now its sunday where did it go".  This has happened to me lots with holidays and special occasion weekends, and the best advice I have for you is to pay attention to how cheating makes you feel.  Don't feel guilty unless you feel bad for your progress or your body.  Sadly, potatoes make me feel like garbage so I try to avoid them like the plague even when I do cheat. Try to not eat for as long as you can handle after you cheat to allow your body some rest and to burn the glucose and glycogen that may be still in your system.  If you feel good enough some cardio or lifting may help to get you back in faster. Ultimately, if keto is a lifestyle for you, remember that life happens and its ok to be human, and eat things that are unhealthy as long as its not the normal.  Remind yourself that you deserve to be happy as well as healthy and balance that in your mind.  Being positive and recognizing this will help you to not fall off the deep end either way, by being too strict or completely abandoning keto, which often in the early phase will lead you to gaining all that weight you lost back. Carb cycling is a form of keto diet for athletes or very physical people who benefit from a quick carb before intense activity in order to feed their muscles or whatever but as I am not one of those people, I just stick to my higher carb fruits and veggies when I think I might go for a run or walk, or drag my ass down the road, whatever you'd like to call it. >_>
Things to avoid that are a waste of money Don't buy "exo ketones" or "Keto drinks" or powders, anything "bullet-proof" is basically bullshit, you can make the same things for zillions of dollars less and it will taste better as well. Keto urine strips are pretty much just a waste of money, they aren't really indicative of where you are at. Expensive "keto" supplements aren't necessary, take your multi and drink your electrolytes and you should be good to go.  Keep in mind if you are an intense athlete I am not so like talk to your doctor or coach dude.
