After a long day of practice, the football team retired back to the lockers. The arid scent of sweat coming from the burly strong men filled the air. As the athletes freshened up and went along with their day, only two were left, cooling off; shooting like shit like normal. The first was the teams head linebacker Jensen and the second, his best bro and star quarterback of the team, Ryan.
Tumblr media
The two jocks first met when they by chance got paired up as roommates in the freshman dorms. They’re synergy only heightened their football prowess. Thanks to that, they became the dynamic duo for the front liners. They’ve been inseparable since… well until Ryan broke the news.
A knock echoed from the locker room entrance. Jensen walked over and opened the door slightly ajar to see a lanky boyish latino standing there. “Oh uh, hey Mateo,” It was Ryan’s boyfriend. “What’s up?”
Looking evidently intimidated by the broad athlete, he he timidly spoke. “H-hey, I’m looking for Ryan. He asked me to meet him after practice.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, yeah. Come on in.” Jensen pulled the door open to let him in. “Hey Ry, your- um, your… Mateo is here.” Though he wants to be supportive, Jensen still had his reservations. When Ryan came out to him he was shocked. All this time he never sensed the impression that his best bro was gay. He would always bring the hottest babes to their room, but was that all just a cover to his real wants?
When he laid on eye on his boyfriend, something clicked in Ryan’s eyes and he put on the warmest grin. “Teo, there you are babe!” The smaller guy walked over to where the football player was, sitting in his personal football cubby and climbed into his lap, teasing for a kiss. Ryan happily obliged pulling Mateo close, locking into a kiss.
Jensen tried to shy his eyes away. He was still adjusting to this new development, but whenever it was him and the two of them, the lovers couldn’t take their eyes and lips away from each other. It was especially awkward since the two got so lost into each other they were practically dry humping during their last hang in the frat house. It could also be cause of some slight jealousy. He wasn’t gay or anything, but he did miss spending quality bro-time. Maybe I should just give them some space, Jensen thought. “I’m gonna head out. I’ll just see you man.”
Ryan pulled away, to the dismay of Mateo. “Ok man I’ll catch you later!” Jensen walked out of the locker room.
He turned back to happily continue the make out section, but at the sound of the door shutting, Mateo climbed off of the man and rolled his eyes. “Finally I thought he’d actually stick around and we’d have to pull that grinding act again.”
“Oh come on, don’t you think that the intense PDA is making the guys too uncomfortable? We don’t want to ruin the real Ryan’s image.”
Mateo cruelly glared at the athlete. In a new mocking tone, he asked. “I’m sorry, are you actually questioning my plans?”
In response Ryan’s cool and confident smile demeanor crumpled. “N-no… sorry Mateo.”
“What did you call me?”
“Sorry, Sir”
Mateo coldly smiled. “That’s better. Do not forget who holds the power in this ‘relationship.’ Now back to business, what is your status on integrating into Ryan’s life.
“Well, everything appears to be fine. No one has suspected anything amiss.”
“Is that so?”
“As far as I’m aware, sir. I did as you told and continued to do the weekly calls with his mom and sister, and I’ve kept up both his grades and exercise regimen to a tee.”
Mateo took a moment to reply, but then simply asked. “What is Ryan’s moms name.” ‘Ryan’ hesitated to answer, which caused his partner to replayed. “His mother’s name, what is it?”
“Uhh I know this, it’s Ana, right?”
Mateo rolled his eyes, reaching out and pulling Ryan by the ear. “You idiot! It’s Amanda! What if that came up in conversation? You would have tipped anyone off immediately!”
“I’m sorry I’m sorry! I promise I will read the character notes you gave me again! I promise I will get it right next time!”
As ‘Ryan pleased, Mateo took note of something else. As he held onto Ryan, it looked as if his skin was stretching unnaturally, almost as it was being pulled away from his head. Pulling tighter, Mateo stretched Ryan’s face harder. From the offices of his eyes and mouth, paler skin much different then Ryan’s sun-touched complexion could be seen. “And let me guess, you haven’t been applying the glue like I instructed you.”
Ryan sounded so small and timid, “I-I’m sorry I forgot to do it the last couple days…”
Mateo let go of his boyfriend and walked over to his duffle. Digging through the sweaty gear he found what he was looking for, a long metallic tube of cream. Without hesitation, he squeezed a hardy dollop of goop into his hand and rubbed it vigorously onto the jocks face. Performing another experimental pull, Ryan’s face held rigid.
“You are really fucking this up. What would you have done if something happened during practice, or in the shower. How do you think those dumb jocks would react if their star players face distorted or came off, revealing some loser posing to be him, wearing his skin like some kind of costume?”
“I-I… I don’t know.”
“Now, is there anything else you want to confess to me before I find out later.”
Ryan bit his lip, but eventually admitted, “There was one little thing. I may have been talking to Jensen and gotten something wrong. Instead of remembering he has a sister, I asked about his brother… But I got him to believe it was a bad joke! I promise he doesn’t suspect a thing!”
Mateo simply rubbed his temple, trying to massage away the pounding headache “You’re on thin ice. Thin fucking ice.”
Ryan hesitated, before standing up. Using his large stature to try and intimidate Mateo, he barked aggressively. “I made some mistakes but I’m getting better, why don’t you get off my back.”
Mateo let out a sigh, turning away from the groveling man. “Do you know why I chose you for this job, Brian?”
At hearing his real name, the guy inside Ryan shuddered. “Umm, because you knew I would do anything for you.”
The Latino man scoffed, “The reason I chose you to put on Ryan and take over his life was because I knew as an actor, you’d be able to slip into the role seamlessly. Besides you even had a fairly convincing impression of the real Ryan. Clearly I was mistaken as your performance has been lackluster at best. What would stop me from taking you out of that suit and replacing you with someone else better suited for the job. I could even get them a voice changer and no one would notice a difference.” He pulled a small remote from his pocket. “One click of this and you will be ejected from Ryan’s suit, forced to go back to your sad, pathetic life as Brian. Just some gay loser no one wants or would ever want?”
Terrified by Mateo’s threat, Ryan fell to his knees, pleading to Mateo. “No please, anything but that! I’m so sorry please don’t take this away from me I promise i will do better, much better!” His voice sounding a bit off, now squeakier than his normal bravado.
Mateo hesitated, teasing his finger on the remotes button, before finally putting it back into his pocket. “Fine. I will give you one last chance. But listen to me… no more screw ups, no more forgetting to maintain the suit, got it? Let this be the last time we have to discuss it. After this, you are Ryan Griffin- my cocky quarterback boyfriend, but in private you are my loyal dumb servant.”
“Y-yes sir.”
“Repeat it,” Mateo demanded.
Tumblr media
“I- I am Ryan Griffin, I am your cocky quarterback boyfriend, but in private I shall loyally serve you.”
A sinister smile crept on Mateo’s face. “Atta boy.” He placed his hand, caressing his dumb, stubbly cheek. “Now get changed cause your taking me out to dinner tonight.”

your writing is PHENOMENAL girl! Can we get part 8 of breastfeeding Mateo and Pablo and Lena are chilling in the room watching a movie or napping beside reader? And you guys explain to Helena what you are doing
I don't know if I broked some hearts with my latest fic but here's some dad gavi @pablogavisgirl asked for right after H,H&H
Also known as Gender Reveal (8)!
Family Learning -P.G
Summary: Helena's curious with a few things
Tumblr media
You were told the why's, the what if's, the how's, the who's and mostly questions of everything, were around seven years old. Why on earth Helena has anticipated that? She was four- five in two mon-oh god how fast they grow up!
Anyways, why on earth Helena was often questioning every single thing you and your husband, Pablo did, if it wasn't supposed to be the time to do so.
Still, you and Pablo tried to explain everything you could for her, so it wasn't a surprise when you were hanging out the four of you, cuddling while watching Miraculous LadyBug; Lena in Pablo's lap as you were cuddled into his side and the youngest of the family, Mateo was sleeping in his baby carrier next to you until he started to wriggle and fuss, you detached yourself from your husband's hold before the cries got louder and got him out.
Instantly when he sensed you, his babbles got quieter but not enough to make you stop your little bouncing movements.
"Hijo" You said rocking him side to side "Poo? Piss?" You felt his diaper and saw it, clean. "Hungry?" You asked him getting him ready in your arms.
One thing you learned with Lena was to be on easy access tops for whenever they were hungry and needed breastfeeding.
You undid your top and gave Mateo your chest, as he quickly latched himself on it. Once both, you and Mateo were comfortable you nestled yourself back in Pablo's hold as he caressed the skin of your waist, his gaze turned now to you and his boy.
He never stopped being amazed by all the things you can and are able to do for his babies and even for himself.
"Eres increíble" He murmured (You're amazing)
"You say that everytime I breastfeed"
"Because it's amazing what you and women do" He said as you smiled and kissed him "And not only when you're breastfeeding, I always say it" You nod smiling
"Yes, you do" You kiss his lips briefly "You're amazing too, amor" He kisses you twice before kissing your cheek and winking at you, you blush instantly and push your head into his shoulder
"Something's wrong, mi niña?" You ask Lena watching her watch you
"Mami, ¿Qué haces?" (Mommy, what are you doing?) Lena said after a while looking at you
"I'm feeding your hermanito"
"Why?"
"Why are you feed, Lena?" Pablo asks funny as she smiles and laughs
"No! I mean why in that way? We ate with spoons and plates"
"He can't eat like that for now, Ladybug. Momma feeds him through her. When he gets older, he can eat just like you, me and mom"
"Mommy did that with me?"
"Yes, I did, but I stopped because you needed to start eating food for yourself, I can't breastfeed you forever, you need vitamins that food provides and while I gave you some, I don't deliver every single one of them" You smile at her "Eventually, I will stop breastfeeding Mateo too when he gets older"
"Will he need vitamins too?"
"He will" Pablo said "We all do, ladybug" Pablo smiled his hand going to her hair caressing it lightly.
She forgot her favorite show was on as she watched you in awe, both Páez were, in fact, watching you feed the youngest member of the family. You were looking down, helping Mateo. You hissed when you felt him suck on you hard.
"Teo, hijo" You said softly grabbing his hand and squeezing it lightly "Así, no" (Not like that)
"Don't bite, mommy" She said as you laughed
"It's normal, hija. He's trying to not lose his hold"
"But it hurts you"
"It may do, but it's doesn't matter to me, as long as you and Mateo are good"
"What about dad?"
"The love your dad and I have for each other is different of the love we have for you and for your brother" She looked at you with her big brown eyes and a smile on, then she looked at Pablo and he nodded confirming it
Mateo suddenly let go of your breast and you tucked it back into your top, before putting him into your shoulder and burp him.
"¿Quieres que te ayude, hermosa?" (Want me to help you, beautiful?) Pablo said as you shook your head smiling softly
"You can change him tho when he poo's himself?" Pablo gave you a look as you innocently smiled at him and softly nodded
"I can do that" You wink at him as he kisses your cheek and puts one of his hands on top of Mateo's head, before leaning in and kissing it; then leaning down to kiss Helena's head
"Mommy" She calls you after a while of silence, you hum letting her know you were listening "You're awesome" She says out of nowhere as you stop your doings and look at her with a smile on
"Gracias, mi amor. You're also awesome and will be even more than me" She smiles as you sent her a kiss.
"Told you, you were awesome" Pablo says as you laugh softly getting out of his hold and putting Mateo back in his carrier, now that he was asleep.
"Shut up" You said smiling and leaning back into him once more.
All three of you kept on watching the show when Lena spoke once more
"Did also Daddy ate like that?"
"Well when he was little, your grandma Belén did the same to him and to your auntie Rora" You said "But he doesn't need it anymore"
"Not even from you?" You shook your head trying not to smile or blush
"No" You felt Pablo's gaze on you and it wasn't need for you to look at him to know he was smirking, you felt him squeeze your waist "That's only for newborn babies, Lena" You clarified her
"So, he doesn't need it because he's an old man!" She concluyed as you tried not to burst out laughing and because Pablo's frown
"What do you mean old man, young lady?" Helena looks at you surprised as you look at her back like that
"Run, but don't make a lot of noise!" You told her before watching her run to the patio as Pablo groaned standing up
"You and I will have a few things on, señora Páez" You smile blushing, you saw him dip down and kiss your lips softly.
"Go ahead, old handsome man" You replied watching him raise his eyebrows
"Watch it" You smiled before watching him jog to run behind Helena as you were left with a sleeping Mateo
"Those two are the craziest together" You smiled "But you'll love them either way"

Oh another summertime harry concept!! Maybe reader has younger siblings who are like still little kids or teenagers so they come to see her during their summer holidays and harry is stressing with wanting to make sure they like him and coming up with activities to do with them ahaha
YES!!
“Harrryyy!” Your five-year old brother, Teo, called.
You were sat on the decking, lounging on a sun bed with your swimsuit on and sun cream lathered over your body - thanks to Harry’s hands, watching Harry wade around in the swimming pool whilst Teo was climbing out of the pool, arms clad with Spiderman armbands, and running around the edge.
“Woah, little man, slow down! Before y’hurt yourself.” Harry put out his arms to get Teo’s attention and make him speed down to a walking pace. Harry went deeper into the pool, it rising up to his chest as he stood nearby where Teo was standing on the edge.
“Watch me, Harry. Watch!” Teo said excitedly, his hair sticking up every which way from being in the pool.
“Go on then, buddy.” Harry laughed and moved aside to watch Teo run and jump into the pool with a splash.
You sat up and put on your sunglasses to watch them better. Teo rose to the surface and Harry went over to him quickly to make sure he was alright clearing water from his eyes. Teo’s smile and excited laugh proved he was all good.
Laying back down and taking off your sunglasses, you breathed in the fresh summers air. It was a hot day and you were babysitting for your parents whilst they were at work. Teo was busy in the pool with Harry, whilst your sister was laying on the sun bed next to trying to also get a tan. Tia was Teo’s twin sister, but they couldn’t be more opposites. Teo was extroverted and crazy, whereas Tia was shy and quiet . You were a little bit of both.
You were all at Harry’s house, because it had the pool. Your siblings couldn’t get over the fact the pool was just Harry’s. It was a big pool, with a little water fountain half way down that Teo loved messing around under. You and Harry thought it was best to bring them to his back garden, rather than somewhere public and in the sweltering heat too.
“Y/N?” Tia asked you and you turned to face her, her little body sitting up on the sun bed.
“Yeah?”
“Can I have a drink, please?” She asked politely, and it made you sit up and put your sunglasses back on.
“Course you can.” You slipped on your sliders and walked into the house, a large panel of bifold doors opened to allow anyone to step straight into the kitchen. The doors allowed the inside to feel like the out so nicely. They were often opened in summer and for parties Harry hosted.
You walked to the fridge and took out the jug of fresh lemonade that you’d all made together earlier. After adding the lemonade to four glasses of ice and mint leaves, you added him some striped straws and carried them on a tray outside.
“H, Teo! Come get a drink!” You shouted. You knew Harry probably wouldn’t need a drink, but Teo did considering he was small and would dehydrate easily and he wouldn’t leave the pool unless Harry did too.
They both came up to where you and Tia were already drinking. Tia was sat on a sun bed with you and then the two boys sat on their own together. Both of them were dripping wet, but it no doubt felt refreshing.
“Here.” You passed a glass to Teo and Harry helped him hold it properly before letting him do it on his own. Harry took his own drink and gave a few sips. “Having a good time Teo?”
“Yeah. I was showing Harry all my jumps.” He nodded excitedly and Harry looked at you smiling.
“Were you? What did you think of them H?” You asked Harry, sitting directly across from him.
“Little Teo here’s going to be in the Olympics. I’m sure of it. Winning lots of gold medals.” Harry nodded assured.
Teo celebrated by doing a weird little dance and everyone laughed, including Tia.
“How are you doing, Tia?” Harry asked, knowing your parents had extra encouraged him to speak to her to drive her out of her shell and comfort zone.
“Good. I was thirsty. A bit hot though.”
“Y’want to go in the pool with me?” Harry offered, putting his glass on the tray.
“Yes please!” She nodded happily and Harry smiled back at her.
“Okay, then you two go wash your hands carefully and then come back here. I need to put your armbands on before you go in, okay Tia?” You said and they both listened expertly.
Once they were gone, Harry motioned for you to come over to him. You did, straddling his waist and locking your arms around his neck. He kissed your chest and then your neck, leading towards your jaw.
“I’m too hot for you to get me horny.” You laughed, pushing his face off your body.
“Weren’t saying that last night, baby.” He chuckled, but doing as he was told. He’d hate to make you feel uncomfortable.
“There was air-con last night. It’s fucking boiling out here.”
“True, true. I’m kissing you later, though. A lot.” He threatened you with a good time.
“Oh, I’m counting on it.”

Kidfic anon back here 🥰 Just been thinking about your drabbles once again and came up with something because 14th Feb is just around the corner: do you think either of them considers inviting the other to a dinner date? And THEN, I thought, Bez probably won't because of Theo. And Cele doesn't want Bez to feel like he has to get somebody to watch Theo. BUT what if Theo is our little match maker? Like, they've been talking about Valentine's in kindergarten and Theo understands that many people spend that day with people they like and since both of them really like Cele, he could come over? And then, he's smiling in such a cute way that Bez can't say no (plus, Bez also wants to have Cele over as much as possible!!!) and now he has to somehow ask Cele over for VALENTINE'S
Bestie, darling, your brain! I'm still thinking about the holidays drabble and what they would do when Cele goes to Bez's house and meets the parents and all that because I would like to write something for that but I can't promise when the muses might hit me.
BUT! Now I'm thinking Valentine's, maybe something not quite happened during the holidays (Bez walking in on Cele getting changed into a nice outfit, Bez's sister poking fun at her brother because he is basically 🥺🥺 at Cele, maybe they almost kiss but Matteo calls Bez over and it's a 'i should go' 'yeah' 'yeah' and ofc it reminds Bez that he has a kid and Cele is young and shouldn't be tied down), and now they've been once again a bit distant, with Cele busy with exams, but they still see each other it's hard to keep Teo away from his bestie! And of course Bez is also so happy whenever they see him, the rare occasion when they catch Cele coming back when they're going out to the park and he, no matter how tired he is, tells them to wait for him, running up the stairs and coming back without his backpack not even five minutes later. Bez loves sitting next to him, Rubik between their legs, while they look at Matteo climbing and running around with friends, soon enough coming back to them and demanding that they play ball with him.
Bez doesn't really realize Valentine's is getting close until Luca starts talking about dinner reservations. And of course his first thought is wondering if Cele has plans. His second thought is what about Teo, his friends have their own plans so it's not like he can ask them to watch him. And he isn't even sure if Cele likes him (Luca is about to hit his friend because Bez must be really blind to not see how Cele looks at him, and how Cele used to look at Luca before he made it very clear that they were just friends).
On the other side Cele wants to invite Bez to go out with him so bad, but he doesn't want to inconvenience him. And he would like to include Teo too! He's trying his damnedest to come up with some idea, his search history ranges from 'dates for people with kids' to 'how to tell if he likes me' to 'spiderman valentines'
And then, just a mere couple days before Matteo brings home a school project that he hides against his chest like it's a secret, Bez only manages to catch a glimpse at pink paper and red glitter. When he tries to ask him, Teo just looks up at him with his big brown eyes, the little gap in his front teeth that always makes Bez's mom smile, and crosses his arms tighter against his chest. "Nothing." Bez would want to know more but how bad could some kind of school project be? Teo is a smart kid, if he needs help he will ask for it.
But Matteo doesn't ask for Bez's help, the next day he has to do a double shift at work, covering for someone that's sick (which will also mean he has Valentine's day free), and when he comes back home he sees Luca sitting next to Teo, bending his tall body enough to reach the little desk he has in his room. They're so focused that they don't seem to realize Bez has gotten home, so he spends a second looking at them, the mess of coloring pencils next to the and Rubik sleeping on Matteo's bed.
When Luca realizes he's there, he whispers something to Teo, standing up while he scrambles to cover whatever they were doing. Luca asks Bez about his day, and they manage to distract him quickly enough that it's not until later that he remembers it and thinks about messaging Luca about it. But who can blame him, he's really tired and Teo is dozing off against his chest so who cares.
Anyway, the next day seems normal at first, Bez helping Teo get ready for school like always before he seems to remember something in the middle of brushing his teeth, running to his room.
The next thing Bez sees is his kid is walking up to him with a glittery heart that says "Papà" in big blue letters in the middle. And so it all makes sense.
"Happy Valen'ines, Papà"
Bez would kneel down, kissing Matteo's cheek and hugging him, uncaring if the glitter ends up all over his shirt. "Thank you, baby!"
Of course the heart ends on the fridge next to all the other drawings. Since the secret is out Teo would tell him excitedly about it, how at school they told them about the holiday and started making the cards.
"For the people you really like!" He says, before he seems to remember something else. "We need to give it to Cele!!"
Bez would be so surprised, like what??? Cele? And Teo would explain that Luca helped him because he knew how to write Papà but not how to write Cele and ofc they need to give it to him, because they like him so much. Bez promises that they will go see Cele after school is done so Teo agrees to go without trying to run to Cele's door. Bez spends the hours alone at home in a haze of 'oh god, I hope Cele doesn't have plans' and 'should I buy something else for him?' and 'of course we really like him'
He does end up getting a box of chocolates on his way to get Teo from school, and he feels as nervous as he was when he was a teen and had his first kiss. He manages to convince Teo to eat before they go and knock on Cele's door. Bez doesn't know if he wants him to be in or not, his heart feels like it's going to jump ship.
But ofc Cele opens the door, a wide grin in his dumb face the moment he sees them. Teo has the heart (Cele's is pink with orange letters) in his hands and Bez has the chocolates in his hoodie, hidden for now.
I imagine the exchange would go a little like:
"For me? Thank you Teo!"
"Yes, because I like you Cele!"
Cele's eyes moving up to Bez. And Bez would have a second of intense bravery while looking at his dark eyes and rosy cheeks.
"Would you like to come to the park with us? And have dinner later?"
Cele would stutter and flail. "If you guy's are not busy."
And that second there would be so intense, Cele's eyes shining, still crouching down to be at Teo's height, looking up at Cele, his mouth open in surprise shifting slowly into a massive smile. Bez knows he probably looks dumb, blushing and smiling, and he knows that Luca is going to be asking him how it went early next morning, but right now he doesn't have to worry about work and he basically invited Cele on a Valentine's date, with his kid, so everything is great.
"Of course not, we like you a lot."
Then they're on their way to the park, Teo holding onto Cele's hand before running towards one of his friends. Bez and Cele sit down on their usual bench, and then Bez would bring out the box of chocolates, his cheeks burning up even more than before.
"For you, Cele."
"Marco.. thank you so much."
And Cele would blush and kiss his cheek and Bez knows he's probably doing something right.
And then they have dinner and they watch Spiderman yet again and Cele and Teo fall asleep against Bez, and thankfully the next day is Saturday (because it's my universe and I say so) so he doesn't have to worry and can allow himself to rest his head against Cele's curls, grabbing Teo closer and fall asleep himself.

Teo Yandere Alphabet
Hello! I have no idea what I'm doing but I love Yandere stuff and have had a few ideas but this is the only one I have had the guts to post. I have no idea if you will like this, this post is kinda my pitch for this yandere, lemmie know what you think and if you want more of him!!!
So, enjoy~
This is my first post pls be kind-
It's also not proof read-
Tw: Violence, gaslighting, yandere themes, etc.
(I didn't come up with the alphabet)
~~~~~~
A; Affection- How does the Yandere show their love and affection? How intense could it get?
Teo doesn't show much affection, but he constantly wants to hold your hand. Constantly. If you pull away to tie your shoe or something, he will stand there sadly staring at you, as if you just killed him and everyone he ever loved- though that's only you.
But if you sit down, you are smothered. He will cuddle you, hold you to his chest, lay his head in your lap-
It wouldn't get too intense, because he would tire of it quickly. Teo will always end up cuddled in your arms at the end of the day.
B; Blood- How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
Teo wouldn't get too messy- it's not worth the effort. But if he did kill someone for you, deep down, somewhere, his instincts would be screaming for a blood bath. A little motivation, and the trees would be red with blood and organs.
C; Cruelty- Would they ever hurt or harm their darling?
Why would you ask such silly questions? Of course not, he would never need to-!
Worst you'll get is... anything healable how are you supposed to climb trees, go for walks in the forest, and make flower crowns with him if you have missing limbs? It simply wouldn't work, sunshine, now would it?
D; Darling Dearest- Aside from abduction, would they ever do anything against their darling’s will?
Not under most circumstances, no, if you accept his affection he won't make you do anything you don't want to, but if you don't... He'll braid your hair one way or another. And cuddles are not optional, I'll mind you.
E; Exposed- How much of their true self would they bear to their darling whether it be good or bad?
He would be completely honest with you, talking circles at campfires are his favorite! Anything you want of his is yours!
...
But he would never show you what he truly was, no matter how long you begged.
F; Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back? How would they react?
He would be sad, extremely sad. And confused.
Flower? Are you feeling alright?
He doesn't exactly grasp what's going on, he's just confused. Why were you acting like this? Did you forget something? He does that all the time, don't worry! He understands!
He comes to the conclusion you forgot, you're so silly!
He has memory problems too, do you need him to get something for you? A plushie you didn't want to be left behind? A little trinket friend? Or did you forget him?
He would pet your hair and remind you that he was with you, you were okay! You just forgot how much you loved him, that's fine! He can coo into your ear and comfort you until you remember. Isn't his devotion sweet?
G; Game- Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling escape?
A game? What do you mean? Of course! Life is one big game is it not? You're just one of his favorite aspects.
Where did you go?
Are you playing hide and seek?
Isn't his woods better for that? There are so many more hiding places, and it's safe! Why would you leave him the woods?
Oh, it's fine. He just has to re-explain the rules to you when he finds you.
Just don't break them again.
Alright?
H; Hell- What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
You kept breaking the rules. You kept fighting him. He has a breaking point too, y'know.
Behind the sleepy, relaxed, non-caring mask- he's desperate. He's panicking. He's taking every word you say to heart. His delusions will break if you're not careful, while he loves you, he can only take so much.
He snapped. Delusions shattered. He sees how you feel about him, and he can't take it. What did he do to deserve this? He just wanted to remember something good for once in his life- cant you see you're that good? That something he was looking for? That he so desperately wanted to remember? How could he remember you if he didn't keep you close? Don't you see that?
He can't forget you.
He would take out all his frustration on you, throwing you across the room, destroying the house you two shared.
He would have a full-on mental breakdown, that ended with you heavily injured and him hyperventilating in the corner.
I; Ideas- What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
Teo doesn't like to think about the future, he's satisfied with the present. All he needs is you, and he's happy. Content to be by your side- how could he ask for anything else?
J; Jealousy: Do they get jealous if someone besides themself interacts with their darling? If so, how do they react?
He tries to give you as much freedom as possible, his only rule is to not leave the forest without him. He knows humans like to travel to different places, and he can go with you to the small villages close by.
But if anyone comes into the forest to see you, or seeks you out, you might not see them again. Chance encounters only!
He doesn't care who talks to you as long as he's with you. He gets warry if you have long-term eye contact with anyone but him. he might try to end the conversation early if it goes on too long, But if someone tries to touch you, they're as good as dead. If you asked him, he might only cut off their arm. If you begged, maybe just the hand. He doesn't like to see you beg.
K; Kisses- How do they act around their darling?
Teo is kind to you and the other creatures in the forest, and often smiles or yawns. He's very relaxed in his element, coming off as childish and affectionate.
Overall very sweet and caring.
L; Love Letters- What ways did the yandere use to impress their darling before their abduction?
He would talk to you whenever you came close to his woods, and he would give you gifts as you walked by. It could be anything from hand-crafted flower crowns and berrys, to some small thing he finds interesting- if he is walking through the woods looking at birds, and he spots a cool rock or flower, he will put it in his bag to bring you later.
M; Mask- Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
Yes, around others, he appears cold, intimidating, and like he couldn't care less about anything. Witch is mostly accurate, the only things he really cares about are his darling, his forest, and the creatures that live in his forest.
However, with his darling, he's warm and gentle.
Of course, he wouldn't show you what he actually looks like, but other than he shows you all of himself.
N; Naughty- How would they punish their darling?
He would never really 'punish' you. He's the delusional type, and if you said you didn't love him, or tried to run away, he would convince himself you forgot.
He would hold you close to him until you... "remembered him"
Keep kicking and screaming for long enough, he might put you in your room to calm down. Every now and again he would bring you food and check up on you, trying to see if your memory came back. Basically un-inteionly gaslighting you.
O; Oppression- How many rights would they take away from their darling?
Other than the freedom to go wherever you wanted, and hang out with other people, none.
Just don't leave the forest without him- that's the only rule. It's really not that bad. Why would you want to leave anyway? You have everything you need with him in his forest!
P; Patience- How patient are they with their darling?
He's somewhat patient. He can wait for you to remember. As long as you need, but if you make no progress whatsoever for over half a year...
He might get a little frustrated
Q; Quit- If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
If you died he would be terrified. He can't go back to having only bad memories- what if he forgets you!?
He would keep all of your things, making sure he had a bracelet you owned or made on him at all times. He would be so scared to forget you. He would cry. A lot.
But eventually, he would be confused as to what all these things were. Why did he have clothes that didn't fit him? Why did he have an extra toothbrush? What was with the pickles in the fridge? He hated pickles...
Thats weird.
...Why was he wearing this bracelet?
Was it important...?
It felt important.
R; Regret- Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let them go?
Why would he feel guilty? You're happy here with him. How could you not be?
S; Stigma- What brought this side to them (childhood, curiosity, etc.)?
You're the only good thing he can remember- he can't forget you.
T; Tears- How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
He hates to see you sad. What can he do to make you feel better? Do you want your favorite food? Do you want to play a game? Do you want to pick flowers to make a crown? Do you want to go to the village?
However if you isolated your self...
Did he do something?
That's fine darling! Take the time you need. Just not too long okay? He needs to see you you to eat...
U; Unique- Would they ever do anything different from the classic yandere?
He lets you go to the village to see other people once a month, and he doesn't really force you to do anything. Hes a lot nicer than a typical yandere.
V; Vice- What weaknesses could their darling exploit in order to escape?
His memory problems. If you escape and hide long enough, he will forget about you. And it will be hard, because if that exact fact he will be desperate to find you. Good luck, you'll need it.
W; Witness- If someone were to recognize their darling (as missing, distressed, sad, etc), how would they react?
He would be worried about you. Are you okay? And when he realizes you're fine, he will just forget about it. It's not like he's the problem-
X; Xoanon- How much would they revere or worship their darling?
He's not one to worship.
Y; Yearn- How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
For a few months, he would just be confused, but after a while, he would definitely snap, and you know what that entails.
Z; Zenith- Would they ever mentally break their darling?
How could you suggest such a thing!?
...
Not on purpose. And even then it's unlikely
~~~~~~
Thank you for reading! Sorry, it was repetitive and chunky- I'm not good at writing.
But hey, you made it to the end! Yay!

how about a cute thoughts instead of lewd thoughts this time?
cute thoughts on you and eunha play under the rain as if you two are still little
Walking beneath a large umbrella as the rain came down around you, you spy a puddle in the road. Remembering how you teo used to play in the rain, you glance at Eunha. She was blissfully unaware of what you were planning. Wewring her oversized raincoat and boots, she wouldn't really get wet. As you reach the puddle, you jump into it, splashing her with water. "Hey!" Eunha yelled, swiping at your arm. You run in front of her, kicking the puddle and sending more water her way. "Two can play this game." She huffs before kicking her small legs into the puddle, sending water high into the air. You laugh and return the favor. You and Eunha splash each other with water, soaking yourself despite the heavy coats you wore. Eunha's heavy breathing breaks with a laugh as she splashes you one last time. "H-had enough yet?" Her face was flush, and she held her foot back, ready to kick more water if you said no.

After the formal pleasantries of the BAFTAs award ceremony which saw the host David Tennant crack pre-watershed gags and winners gracefully accept their gongs - the celebrations really began.
From Robert Downey Jr. to Emma Corrin, the BAFTAs dinner was the hottest ticket in town on Sunday night as stars flooded out of the awards hall into the function room of London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Though large, it was perhaps less glamorous than one would expect from a party designed to host Hollywood A-listers, similar to a fancy school prom night. Stars later peeled off to separate parties at Annabel’s and Chiltern Firehouse.
...the night sparkled with the film industry's biggest names.
After scooping up awards for Best Film and Best Director, Oppenheimer’s Christopher Nolan was inundated with people coming over to his table to shake his hand.
Cillian Murphy had won Best Actor for his starring role in Christopher's film and went over to introduce his fellow nominee Past Lives’ Teo Yoo, 42, to the award-winning director.
The pair spoke for some time as Cillian, 47, made his way to the neighbouring table to speak to Emma, 28, and their boyfriend, Rami Malek, 42.
While chatting with the Peaky Blinders star, the couple could not keep their hands off each other, with Rami rubbing The Crown star’s back...
While Christopher hid his two Baftas for the majority of the evening, Oppenheimer star Robert strolled through the party with his Best Supporting Actor gong, proudly tucked under his arm.
The Iron Man star, 58, did not stick around for long and fought his way through the crowd of tables to the exit with his wife Susan and a large entourage of bodyguards...
Deep in the opposite corner of the function room Andrew Scott was accosted by a group of female BAFTA staff who were trying their luck at getting a selfie with Fleabag’s infamous ‘Hot Priest’.
Andrew starred opposite Paul Mescal in All of Us Strangers last year but he missed out on a nomination for Best Actor.
Hair ruffled and wide-eyed, the 47-year-old planted a kiss on the cheek of an overjoyed woman as she held her arm up to snap a picture with him.
Immediately afterwards another woman tapped the shoulder of his burgundy suit for her turn and he willingly obliged.
It wasn’t until two more women insisted on a selfie with the Sherlock star that his young assistant intervened, pulling him out of the tussle and the pair made a run for the exit.
They ducked between tables crouching low and Andrew had to refuse yet another selfie before they made it to the grand stairway.
Andrew had almost made a break for it before another woman who he seemed to know leaned over the entrance hall stairway and shouted down for him.
Ever the gentleman, he stopped in his tracks and ran back to say hello, much to the dismay of his assistant.
Andrew’s departure was closely followed by Emma Stone - the winner of Best Actress - as she too descended the staircase accompanied by a large entourage before facing a sea of fans outside the venue...'

Soul Mark AU
Angst
Reader Death
Katsuki Bakugou × G/N Reader
_____________________________🌙_______________________________
..........BEEP......BEEP......BEEP.......
" shit....Fuck ! Y/n ! Why won't you wake up ?! You promised me that you won't leave mw all alone so why .....w-why ..."
Bakugou spoke , his voice as soft as a whisper in a storm , breaking ever so harshly while asking your unconscious person a heart rending question as his red eyes lay fixed on your pale face . The monitors beeping constantly . Each interval between your heartbeats was another year or teo taken off from his life .
.......BEEP......BEEP......BEEP........BEE....BEE--....
The sound of impending doom had stopped .
His red eyes widened in desperation , clinging onto that last bit of hope , in case what he was witnesssing was nothing but a falsity . How he wished it to be nothing but a nightmare induced dream ..... alas ....
The doctors flooded your room , Bakugou stood outside your door , watching as they relentlessly tried to get your heartbeat back . A nurse started C.P.R whike another prepared her electric quirk that was used instead of a defibrillator .
Tears began to pool out of the ends of his eyes as he watched your body leap from shock andlower again .
He blames himself for what happened .......
As the nurse began to shock you again , he saw a tear creep it's way down your face nd upon pure instinct ,
" LEAVE THEM ALONE ! DON'T YOU DARE HURT THEM ! " , the nurse looked stunned at his words . Forgetting about you , they cleared the way as Bakugou blasted his way into your room ......explosions going off in every angle .
"L-L-Leave...th-them alone .......s-stop h-hurting them..." , he spoke . A raspy voice . Tears streaming from his red eyes as he held you close to his chest , one hand on your head and the other aimed at the staff .
Just then ,
"BAKUGOU ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING !? " , Aizawa burst through the door upon hearing the explosions .
"SHUT UP !! "
"KACCHAN YOU NEED TO LET THE NURSE AND DOCTORS HELP THEM ! " , shouted the green haired boy .
"SHUT THE HELL UP YA DAMN NERD ! " , he looked at them with a wet face , red from anger .
"Bakugou..." , Todoroki spoke .
"SHUT UP HALF AND HALF "
"Your neck is glowing ......"
"HuH !!? "
The nurse held up a mirrorfor Bakugou to see a series of five diamonds creating a flower pattern with four swirls above and below it , glowing on the left hand side of his neck .
" WHAT IS THIS ?! " , he chocked out .
"It's a soul mark " , answered the nurse holding the mirror with a smile . Bakugou looked confused as he should .
" There should be one on your soul mate with a similar or contrasting design ." , she spoke , a smile still playing on her lips .
"WHO WILL IT BE O-"
Bakugou was stopped dead in his tracks as he looked at both your hands glowing . Sharp lines glowing on the front which made an 'X' like shape in the middle accompanied by a blast on the underside with the same diamond flower design .
His eyes widened in surprise . His red eyes narrowed at the sight of your wrist .
" Y-Y/N ? "
The nurses looked at the two of you not saying a word .
" You should let them continue treating her kacchan " , Deku spoke up.
" NO ! THEY'RE NOT DEAD ! DON'T SAY IT ! " , Bakugou shouted .
He sat there clutching your still warm but pale body ....his mark slowly fading .His tears began streaming down his face in an uncontrollable manner , he didn't care . He couldn't care less .....all he wanted was you ! Alive and well....Smiling for him ......Smiling with him . Bright eyes glistening as thetwo of you trained .
"I-I should've nver taken you on the mission . You shouldn't have come with......It-it's all my fault - " , his voice broke and the tears which he thought he could count began to seem endless .
"IT WASN'T -- " , screamed Kirishima .
" YOU KNOWNABOUT THEIR QUIRK ! IT CAUSES IMMENSE PHYSICAL BACKLASH ! THEY TOLD ALL OF US ABOUT THAT !"
" I DON'T CARE.....it's my fault they're dead....."
Meanwhile the nurses hooked you up to the ventilator and ECG machine , your heartbeat was still a flatline ....BP ..0.....you were announced dead at 15:45 on the 16th of June .....
Y/N L/N
Time of Death : 15:45
Bakugou dropped to his knees , prayingbfor it to be a drean
( JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJA YALL GOT SCAMMED INTO THINKING YALL DIED ! ! ! )
YALL ARE ALIVE !
Your heartbeat slowly rose back to normal and tour soul mark glowed brighter than it ever has before . In a split second there was streams of blue , purple and orange mixed with red engulfing the room . Illuminating Bakugou's eyes as you woke up from your sleep which almost seemed like it lasted an eternity .

Could you please do 21/44 for Cobert? Love your writing so much!!💖💖
A little drabble somewhere between the two movies (and thank you so much for your sweet words!)
Day 5
21 + 44 – pulling them closer when they’re cold & kisses on the tip of their nose
A gust of wind took Cora by surprise. The weather was merciless but it didn’t impact Cora’s mood. She chuckled silently when she ducked under the blow of the wind.
“Ugh, good God!” Robert muttered. Cora had to chuckle even more at his obvious dislike of the harsh autumn weather. His pointless and shallow grumpiness amused her more than it should. Robert turned his head to look at her. Her cheeky smirk and rather open amusement broke his mask of sulk.
Cora had insisted on this walk. She enjoyed this time of the day a lot, even if the weather wasn’t ideal. She knew Robert also appreciated their habit of a daily walk across the grounds but she had observed a growing convenience in him over the last few years. He didn’t want to leave the house when the tiniest drizzle was too consistent. He denied it but Cora saw that he became more comfortable with age. She knew, however, what she had to say and how she had to smile or pout to still get him out of the house if she wanted to.
“Granny!” A bright little voice sounded. The patter of tiny feet on the gravel echoed behind them. They halted in their steps and Cora let go of Robert’s arm to turn around. Little Caroline was running towards them. The nanny and George were following less hectic behind her. Cora crouched down a little and opened her arms to welcome her little granddaughter. Robert chuckled behind her. Caroline slowed her steps slightly when she was right before Cora but she still threw herself into her grandmother’s arms with a squeal of delight.
Cora shortly considered lifting her up but decided against it. Caroline grew faster than Cora could comprehend and she was getting a little too heavy for Cora. So, Cora only briefly breathed in the sweet scent of the little girl’s hair before she let go of her.
“Hello, Caroline,” she said in a soft voice and smiled down at the girl that peaked around her grandmother’s legs to catch a glimpse of her grandfather.
“Hello, Donk,” Caroline whispered. She was a little wary of him. Caroline was quite shy in general. She was nothing like her brother or cousins in this aspect, most likely though like her cousin Marigold. She preferred observing from a distance. Cora however had managed to earn the little girl’s trust and nearly put a spell on her with her gentle and loving nature. She also had a lot more perseverance in cracking Caroline’s shell. At the age of three now, Caroline had great trust in few adults, including her mother, her grandmother, the nanny, and her father. But she was beginning to warm to her grandfather too since she saw how fond her brother and cousins were of him.
“Good morning, Caroline,” Robert answered with a smile.
By now, George and the nanny had reached them too. The cold air had tinged everyone’s nose red. George’s blue eyes shone brightly in contrast. The drizzling rain had put a watery coat on everyone’s hats, and Cora saw that a few drops clung to George’s long lashes, looking like tiny transparent pearls. It reminded her of Sybil when she had been that age. Her eyelashes had been just as long and full, and she had always enjoyed the gloomier weather. Her nose had stuck to the window when there was a storm outside and when it rained, she had insisted to go out. When the adults weren’t watching for a moment, Sybil immediately sought the nearest puddle to jump into. And when Cora had fished her out of it or taken her from the nanny’s angry grip, Sybil had beamed up at her with cheeks and nose a bright red and her lashes adorned with beautiful droplets of rain.
Cora shook herself slightly to come back to the present. George was chattering lively with Robert now.
“He can do it nearly as well as Teo,” George said. Cora could only guess what this was about. George had taken a great interest in dogs lately. He adored Teo and often visited the other dogs of Downton Abbey at the stables where he usually found them running around, always by the feet of the stable master. It seemed George even tried to train the dogs like proper house dogs. Robert was very amused by that but didn’t have the heart to tell George that these hounds would never be allowed inside the house. Cora had an inkling that it wouldn’t take long until George would get his own Labrador as a present from his proud grandfather.
“You can take Teo on walks with you when she is not with me,” Robert said. George’s eyes beamed. Cora caught the vigilant expression on Nanny’s face. After all, it wasn’t the same to look after two children when there was a young turbulent dog with them. She was glad when Robert acknowledged it too. “Just ask Andy if he and Teo can accompany you.”
“Oh, thank you, Donk!” George exclaimed happily.
“Thank you, Donk,” Caroline copied in a more moderate tone. Cora could tell that she hadn’t really followed the conversation but instinctively agreed with her brother’s gratitude because she thought that was what she had to do.
“Well, we don’t want to keep you any longer,” Cora said in Nanny’s direction. She saw how the woman was tucking her coat close around her body and assumed her feet were beginning to freeze to ice blocks in her shoes too. “I am sure you all want to get back into the warmth again.”
When they resumed their walk, all five of them now, the children bounded back and forth between their nanny and their grandparents. Whenever they thought of something that they had to share with Granny and Donk, they turned around and began talking excitedly to Cora and Robert who walked a few steps behind the nanny who was guarding the children. Cora and Robert let Nanny go ahead with the children, as they stuck to their leisurely slow pace.
Soon, the nanny took another turn that parted ways with Cora’s and Robert’s usual walking route, and they watched how George and Caroline skipped down the gravel close to the house, totally unbothered by the whipping drizzle. Robert stirred Cora down their way out onto the grounds. He knew that this was the path she wanted to go, and Cora appreciated that he put this over his dislike of the weather.
She found she needed this ritual more than she had thought. Whenever their walk was cut short or completely skipped on some days, she felt unbalanced. Even if larger distances of their route were spent in silence, she relished so much in this time spent together. No one would bother them when they made their turn out onto the grounds. Everyone knew this was their walk and not to interrupt them.
Cora slid her arm down Robert’s sleeve, pushing her body even closer to his side. Eventually, she slipped her hand into the pocket of his jacket. Her palm glided against his. Robert looked at her from the side with a smile of surprise. He interlaced his fingers with hers in his pocket. There was an intimacy between them that exceeded the ordinary closeness on a walk by far.
The wind was getting more intense on the unguarded flat grounds. It blew and piped around them, and tried to find cracks and gaps in the barriers of their wardrobes. Cora felt Robert tense up beside her from the shudders that ran through his body. The iciness of the weather intensified. The vision became slightly fogged, and it took Cora a moment to realise the cause.
Slushy snowflakes fell from the sky. “By Christ, it’s not winter yet!” Robert grumbled. “Let them stay up there,” he pointed his head to the sky. “We don’t need them yet.” He flicked a melting snowflake from the cufflink of his jacket.
“Oh, come on, Robert. It’s quite nice. You have to agree,” Cora said. He looked at her with scepticism. And she actually had to confess, it didn’t feel as pleasant as the thought of snow was. Two snowflakes had already fallen onto the back of her neck, and Cora flinched at the feeling.
“You are really testing me with today’s walk,” Robert said. He returned to glaring straight forward and pressing his arms – and her arm with it – close to his body.
“Alright, alright. I know,” Cora admitted. “I promise I will help you warm up when we’re inside again.”
Robert was instantly alert at these words. “Oh?”
Cora slowed her steps. When they came to a halt, she pulled at both his arms until he was standing right in front of her. She looped her arms around his waist, which wasn’t as easy in their thick coats. “Of course. That is my job, remember? To take care of you.” She wiggled a bit closer to him, hoping to spend at least a little bit of warmth.
“And you do it so well,” Robert concluded in a warm tone. “So, what do you say? We take a hot bath together when we are back?” he suggested.
Cora laughed. “Oh, that sounds a bit too scandalous, Robert Crawley,” she teased.
“You are probably right.”
“And apart from that, there wouldn’t be enough space for me once you are in the bathtub,” she added with a grin.
“Oh, please! I’m sure I could make it work.” He sounded a bit exasperated.
The snowflakes still fell and one landed right on the tip of Robert’s nose. Cora rose to the tip of her toes and planted her lips on his nose. It was icy cold under her hot lips. A surprised hum came from Robert.
When she came back down onto the balls of her feet, she said, “I prefer to share the warmth of my blankets with you later. I think that it is more suitable.”
“And who would I be to refuse this?”
Cora let go of him and set about to resume their walk. She took hold again of his upper arm and briefly rested her head against his shoulder. A sigh slipped from her lips. The weather really was nasty but Cora’s contentment was complete.
If you want to send in a prompt, the list is here.
