Since this story would never see the light...I'll tell you the idea. if someone wants to write it, here it is :))
It's a matty x ross'sister!reader
they were lovers around 2013-2014 when they guys started the band or little before.
Matty was in her early 20s and she was around 18.
They tried multiple times to stop it since the guys had the 'don't mess around with your bro's sis' (boys being boys). Matty and her keep it behind her brother's back.
Everything went smoothly until Matty started getting more attention from girls and came with (this lame) excuse that she was too young for him.
Matty broke her heart like no one else.
Y/n saw him jump from girl to girl without giving her a second glance. Neither Ross nor the rest of the band knew about them, so she kept it under secret except from her older sister (older than her and Ross...she was the little sister and Ross the middle brother).
Fast forward a few years, Y/n moved on after bad moments that thanked to her sister she came out of smoothly (as possible). Matty had multiple girlfriends and Y/n dealt with it. Even she had a few boyfriends as well.
During those years they spoke very little. Matty tried --when he was single-- to get back with her but Y/n didn't allow it. She loved herself more than accepting a few fucks here and there when he was bored and alone.
Matty regretted his stupidity every time she didn't look him in the eyes, every time he saw her bring a new boyfriend, every time he was in her presence and when during the night of insomnia he stalked her social media accounts like a creep.
And this brings us to the ‘present’ moment...
Matty had been waiting for the longest time the moment Ross tells him that Y/n and her latest boyfriend --who in his opinion was a proper idiot and not worth of her-- broke up. What Matty wasn't waiting to hear was Ross saying 'guess what?' 'idk Ross what' 'guess!' 'you're letting your gf pe-' 'NO. You're not funny. (Boyfriend name) proposed to Y/n.' 'what?!' 'and wanna hear something more shocking? she said yes!' 'did she?' 'yes' and matty's world was destroyed as well as his heart.
Months passed by and Matty didn't tell Y/n anything...not even congratulations, which annoyed Y/n. She was angry with herself because she always waited something from him.
The wedding day came and everything went smoothly.
Ross cried walking his little sister down the aisle since their dad couldn't.
UNTILLLLLLLLL SOMEONE STOPPED THE WEDDING
During her relationship Matty was a problem with her boyfriend. the man was convinced, fully convinced that Matty was in love with Y/n (he wasn't wrong) and time and time again she tried to take that idea out of his head.
So when Matty interrupted the ceremony and approached the bride...the man walked away. Y/n wasn't fast enough and Matty retained here so she couldn't follow the groom.
Y/n returned to the room she got ready in and tried to call him multiple times. This is the only scene i did write LOL:
“This can’t be happening.” she tried to call the groom multiple times. Matty came inside the room without asking, “Y/n!” “No, go away! i can’t deal with you right now.” “Baby.” Y/n couldn't believe his selfishness. “Fuck you!” “Y/n, please. Let me-“ “Let you explain? There’s nothing to explain. You just crushed my wedding. The only day in my life that it was about me, you have to crush it! “You don’t love him.” Laughed dryly. “You’re insane, y’know that?” “I know you love me.” “Right because everyone has to love Matty Healy, huh? Every girl or woman or boy OR MAN has to be in love with you? You’re such a pretentious twat!” she was beyond pissed. “Y/n.” “I said no. My boyfriend is nowhere to be found, he’s not answering his phone and all because of your sayings!” Y/n tried once more. “You must think this is so funny…so artistic. I don’t even know what the hell went through your mind to just stood up and protest.” “I love you.” Y/n didn't hold back her words,“You don’t, you can't love anyone…not even yourself! You just have to be the centre of attention. You- I-“ “Please, baby.” “His biggest fear was presented in front of his eyes…” looking out of the window. “The many nights I’ve spent trying to tell him I wasn’t in love with you, and you were in love with your own girlfriend...simply not in love with me." “Ross never told you?” “What?” “I break up with her little after your engagement.” “Of course you did.” her sarcastic laugh filled the room.  “Y/n, we’ve been in love our whole life with each other-“ “No.” Y/n let her hand holding her phone drop to her side. “I was in love with you, and you just decided to use me. That happened.” “Peach.” (a little nickname he mocked her with because she blushed a lot when they started hooking up.) “Don’t call me that.” “Y/n, please.” “You’re in no place to demand anything, Matthew.” “I love you.” he was desperate. “I don’t believe you. If you truly loved me, you’d let me have a life with him. You’d let me be happy. But no, you have to make this about yourself and interrupt my wedding.” “Y/n?” Ross interrupted the fight. “I’m here.” she looked behind Matty's head following for the familiar face of her brother. Ross' eyes fell on Matty, “What the fuck is he doing here?” “You ask him. He’s your friend.” she said kissing his cheek before exiting the room. “Y/n!” Matty shouted. Ross stood in the middle of the door when Matty tried to follow her. “I don’t punch you straight in the face only because you already fucked her day and I don't want to upset her more. Please leave.” “I'm not fucking moving from here until she talks with me, for real.” “She obviously doesn’t want to do that. Go away.” “Ross…” “I swear Matty.” “Y/n?” The other sister talked from behind Ross' body. “She left minutes ago.” he turned around, looking at her face sensing something indeed happened, “What happened?” The older sister informed both men that the boyfriend crushed his car. They were transporting him to the closest hospital. Matty didn’t wait a second running out. “Y/n!”
to be continued by whoever wants to write it :))
little disclaimer: i don't think the boyfriend dies, just gets reaaaally injured and Y/n stays close...hating Matty...until he becomes her solid companion and confident :))

Scenes from a Childhood (and Beyond)
3
Mother: "You have to sit on the floor."
"Why?"
"Because you're a child, and there aren't enough chairs."
"Get out the way of the telly."
"You always want to watch The Bill - I want to talk to you!"
"Right, you're getting a smack!"
"Who are you talking to in there?"
"Have you got an imaginary friend?"
"He's talking to the dinner lady!"
<.< "I was talking to Turney"
"Who's Turney? Is he your imaginary friend?"
<.< "Err... yeahhh...."
"Do you hear that?"
"Whuh?"
"He's got an imaginary friend."
"Oh."
4
Biting on the top bunk side board, trying to sleep, while older brother watches a giantess movie.
5
Mother: "This", down there, "is my son." This nameless object right here.
"Aww he's very polite isn't he." Haven't even said anything. "Oh, is he shy?"
"I think you're being incredibly rude!" Huh?
"Right, you're getting a smack."
"And don't you ever do that again!"
"What did I do?"
"- Go back in there."
6
Father: "Whatever you do, don't ever get married."
7
Mother: "Take these dragons down, they're demonic!"
"What are you doing on that computer?"
"Are you alright up here all by yourself?"
Has a dream about putting a naked male in a flower pot and watering him.
Older brother has a fit of rage after the GameCube controller stops working after we last used it.
3 hours pass, trying to sleep.
Him: "You know... I think I got it working again..."
Older sister ran away from home with a car thief.
9
Takes Action Man out from under the bed.
I'm not gay. I just want to see him with his shirt off.
10
Male best friend at school hugs us.
He smells nice.
"Mum, dad's home from work early.
Why are you cross?"
Dad was tired from doing too much for mum. Dad's body was trying to slow down his metabolism and make him rest. Dad ate lots of sugar to compensate. Dad got fat. Mum didn't like dad being fat and having low blood pressure from a slow heart rate from being tired. This made it hard for dad to please her. So late at night, when dad should have been falling asleep, instead mum would row him. And dad also couldn't sleep because his fat was obstructing his airway. So dad would fall asleep at work. Which stressed mum out. So she rowed him late at night more. And dad's mind steadily deteriorated.
"You stupid useless man!"
"That useless father of your's."
Dad fell in to a depression, and didn't work for 2 years.
13
Mother: "Ever since you've gotten taller than me, you've been getting very disrespectful."
"No I haven't. I talk to you the same as I always have."
14
Started dressing well at high school and everyone wanted to be around us.
We got excluded from school for badmouthing a teacher on Facebook.
Mother: "Why didn't you tell me about this? Why did I have to get a letter from school? If I find out one more thing you've not told me, I'll have to assume you can't be trusted with internet access."
"Your brother's just told me that on your Facebook it says you're in a relationship with this girl. Is that true?"
And he made us go through and unfriend everyone who wasn't in the religion. Then we had to go back to school and face all our old friends (who were sympathetic, until we were conditioned to hate them).
We were made to dump her over text (SMS).
16
After 2 hours of mother crying.
"Thank you. You're so nice to me. What am I ever going to do without you?"
Middle of the night, sat on the bench where we used to talk to our boy crush 6 months ago.
"Where are you?"
Religious minister, accusatory tone: "What are you doing with yourself these days, hmm?"
17
"Get down here! -I say, I say it's an outrage I tell you!"
Mother: "Your grandad was very upset that you wouldn't come down and speak to him."
"Yeah, but it's not a proper job you've got, is it?"
18
Father: "Come on! You're making us late for the meeting!"
"I'm not going."
"--- w h a t ?"
"I don't believe in god."
"You never loved me for who I am. You only loved me because I was your son."
Mother: "I don't understand. What's the difference?"
"If I was in any other body, you wouldn't care about me."
404 dial-up tone
19
He's right here, in bed, in front of me! This is actually happening!
God, that felt good.
Us: "You're playing the autism card again."
Bf: "So are you."
Bf: "I don't care about your feelings."
22
Mother: "Your grandad looks like he's not gonna make it. This might be your last chance to see him. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
23
Laying on the bed in own home.
"She's gone. She's finally gone!"
Hysteric happy laughter.
24
"Your email was completely unacceptable, and if it ever happens again, I will have no choice but to contact HR."
25
Us: "You only work one day a week. I can't help wondering what your motives are for talking to me. I need to see you making more of an effort to provide for yourself, otherwise who will you come to?"
Mother: "There's your father's pension. We've always provided for ourselves!"
"I saw his 50p balance on the kitchen table. You know his money isn't much, and he's 9 years older than you - what are you going to do when he dies? [Older sister] doesn't speak, [older brother] has moved to Canada, your dad's died. Let's just call it even: you've done things for me, I've done things for you."
"Sounds like you're cutting us off?"
We got back in touch with our childhood gf.
Gf: "It's nice to have things bought for you... What?"
Gf: "It's too much."
26
When a woman gives birth to a baby, she receives a huge dose of oxytocin, which is a major part of the mother-baby bond. She also receives oxytocin from breastfeeding.
"So that's who you loved."
27
Ex-gf: "Take the polyamory bit out - that's why you're not getting anyone."
28
Us: "That's the VMs all nice and split out now, so we don't have over-centralised chaos. Really allows to get much better use out of a laptop with finite RAM, being able to suspend sessions like that."
"Let's see how these DID people organise themselves. You know, just to give us ideas how to organise ourself. Not that we actually have DID. (Yes, saying "we", as we have our whole life whenever talking to ourself/ves alone, which we have always done every day of our life)."
Video: "If you feel like you really relate to a community, then you're probably one of them."

Crystal Hearts
Prequel Chapter 21
➽──PREV─CH21─NEXT──❥
Being engaged only last a few days. Alas, it's not because it's been revoke. Because those Oukawa just called the main family ( which is kohaku cousin, called tsukasa Suou ) those couple of days and now they can proceed to the wedding! It seems that your not leaving the estate unless it's official. Well at least in the traditions of humans.
Honestly it's too fast, your not even able to pass a day in the world of fae in comparison! Holy moly, your now wearing traditional wedding cloths. And your side that is invited in the wedding is only Niki and Rinne because they are the only one around.
Aira and your other friends won't come to the human world tell late this month. Your cousin probably somewhere in the crowd wearing disguise as you and kohaku were given a cute flower crown by a dove,
.
You look at the three cup of sake and take a sip of each of the cup, likewise your groom did so too.
.
Saying vows and such, and being bless and such. It happened so fast. Now your greetings to the guest.
...
Later that same day, you look at rinne and Niki who's jamming with the crowd.
"Omae..." You stared at the person who called you. "Hmm?" You hummed feeling a bit drowsy. The person beside you, softly made you lean against him. Leaning your head against his frame. He move his hand so, his oversized outer kimono put around the two of you.
"I honestly surprised your family tradition sure are too fast." You mumble." I thought it be for a year or so. Since we only know each other." You don't know till when you can freely do what you want, so you would want to enjoy each moment to the fullest.
"Ah... That's usually what happened... Well, except for my dad case. He pulled a marriage certificate when my mom win the fight as tradition. To sign in the spot." He chuckle as he remembers how his father often brags about it.
In his early memories his mother when she was with them before, she and his dad would would be like those love sick couple like they are not middle age adults. It's a sight for sore eyes' kohaku thought
" Ohhh! Your dad is smitten then. How nice! Love is very interesting! " You giggle. " Then what's up with your case then? I don't mind! It mean I get to spend more time with you! " You hummed as you look at him, asking silent permission to hug him. He nodded with a blush on his face, as you happily hugs him.
" My dad have a visitor, Few last night. I don't see em but when he finish chatting with the guy, almost beaming, he said the wedding would be in few days. Because the kid (tsukasa)needs to arrive here to attend too. If that's not the case he would say the wedding would be that night. " after a moment of silence. He start to speak why the case of the fast wedding happened, at least what he think the reason is.
" Wow... That's kinda weird. Did you ask who's the person? Don't you think it's sus? " you wonder why he don't think that suspicious.
" I dunno dad just said that he gaze upon my future and speak to em. Or whatnot. Weird huh.? " he pats your head, as he saw your silly face of disbelief.
" Well, your a core fae like the second one. I heard that they can turn back time. Ya know? So it's not weird if that's the case. " You told him why you have a face like you believe his silly theory.
"... Wait that's a thing? I can do that too? " His eyes widen.
" Yup yup! " You happily nodded." Well probably in the future you will. " You added.
"... Do I really go back in time to hurry up the wedding? What am I rushing it for? " he don't think that rushing things would be good. Beside won't it be better if the two of you spend more time...?
" I dunno. I'm not you. And I won't go back in time to do such thing. " you shrugged your shoulder, your not someone who would do such thing to understand the way of thoughts of time Traveller who wish to change the future.
"Ehhh.. ya can do that too?" Now he can't help but be amaze at you. How come your so cool and keep getting cooler in his eyes? Ah, my spouse is too OP, how do I make sure no one would steal em away? Suddenly kohaku inter a marriage life crisis.
"Hmm. But do I have too? Going back means it will change a sequence of event. That's such a worrisome thing you know! What if something good don't happened because of changing such scene?" You laugh, thinking that your not gonna do such thing.
After all people who wish to turn back time are those who don't know what's lies in the future. But you do. So why would you turn back time?
"... Ya don't want me to go back in time to ruined fate?" (Kohaku)
"Ah. It's fine. Since you have your reasons. For me, with all the things that bothers me. That I wish doesn't. I would not mind it. Changing your fate is something you know? I would want to change it too. But I'm full of worry! So I have to take precautions in ever move I do. Even so I don't need too. Im scared. Such burden is annoying but it's my life. "
you sigh as you thought of the troubles you put in the back of your mind, for you to enjoy the moment as it is and don't dwell what's comes right after.
" Ya don't need to burden everything. Just because ya are core fae or whatnot. " Kohaku stared at his 3rd sister who approaches the two of you to offer confectioners and she winked at him, signalling him about something before she left the two of them.
" Well, I dunno what to do if I don't think of it. Having nothing to think about makes the thought of my life being pointless comes in mind. That's more painful to think about. That even if I don't exist the world would been ok. I'm just here to be with you all. " You stared at the sweets and wonder what's the black dust on top of those. They look familiar for some reason.
"... Ya speaking weird again. Ya are here because ya are needed and to live among us. " Holding one of the sweets, he look at you as your gaze follow the confectioners. " Do you want some?" He ask you. You nodded without hesitation as your open for all type of sweets made others after all!
" Hmm. Okii! If you say so! " you give a thumbs up to his previous statement.
Kohaku rolled his eyes as he chuckle hopelessly, he soon reach out to held you close, he gaze into your eyes as the confectioners are being feed by him to you with such affection.
The strings glow bright red around you, almost as if it's pulsing.
"... Cant you have your own preceptive and thought? Why are you easily agreeing on what I say? "
" Well, it is my own thoughts to understand and agree what others believe in! So, to please them I'll agree because I don't know any better than they do about those stuff! " Nomming after telling him your point of view, you enjoy the sweet taste.
" ... " He really wonder why you grow up with such mentality and how your brain work so oddly and off putting.
You look at the crowd again as you yawn, feeling sleepy. You don't feel this sleepy yet as kohaku continue to spoonfeed you those confectioners, the sweet taste felt like drugs that pulling you in a deep good night slumber.
"I'm glad... I'm awake. I meet many people... I would like you to meet my best friend and friends when they'll come here... " Your droopy (color) eyes stared at him.
" Sure. I'll be glad to meet them... "
.
.
.
" Ai. This is my hubby, hanii!" In the end of the month your friend, aira finally able to come to the human world with his unit. "...what?" He drop his phone in shock at your words. He stared at the stranger with you who's your happily holding hands with. "Say what?" He repeated as if his deaf when he heard your words.
"You seems about to faint. Maybe I should shock you with the news the moment you come here." You notice how his gonna faint if you confirm his nightmare to be the truth. "In the traditions of humans. Kohaku is my hubby!" You quickly try to lessen the effect to your friend.
"AI/AIRA!!" He have fainted and you and his fellow unit who was watching the scene in worry as you all rush aira to put in rhe nearest bench. Mayoi who's fanning aira, hiiro who's holding ice as if the guy fainted from heat stroke or something.
"..." Kohaku who follow suit at your tail since earlier look at your friend and back at you. "Does Your friend likes you?" He directly ask you all. Mayoi almost join aira in the fainting gang when he heard the hubby of yours, frank question.
"Ehhh... Whyareyouaskingthatquestion... Ohgottwhatisthisdrama..." He mumble so fast as he look back at three of you.
" I dunno." You shrugged your shoulder." I get rejected by ai like more than this times." You raise your ten fingers. Shock cover his purple eyes when he hear your words, the fact you like your friend yet get rejected more than ten times. He don't know if he should be worried or be sad for you.
"He said we're just best friends. I'll respect that." You added. The three (more like two) friends of Aira want to smack aira in the head when they heard what you said.
Aira keep going to them about his own situation after all, they don't know this part. Why are those two so hopeless?!
"Why are you so open to say that to me? What if I get jealous?" Kohaku sighs as he look at your best friend and back to you. Clearly your friend also liked you back yet can't express or told you his own feelings.
"Ehh. Wwhhhyyy?" You tilt your head in confusion." Eheh your so silly, Your already my hubby why are you jealous? Beside I'm very loyal as it's something fae were taught! I'll offer my heart to you for exchange~ if you don't trust me eheh " you haft jested with soft chuckle.
" H-huh..!?" He turn bright red at your words as he remembers what it meant. YOU TWO JUST GOTTEN MARRIED NOT EVEN ONE MOON AGO AND YOU ASKING FOR ANOTHER ONE? n-not like he don't want it but it's too fast! Ah! Let him calm his heart first!!' he turn around as his head might explode from the bashful state he is in he silently screams internally as he held his warm cheeks.
"Hibiki-chan. Whatifwhafif... Aira likes you too?" Mayoi can't help but ask you in a barely inaudible tone.
"Hmm? " You look at Mayoi. "I do notice it... But I'm someone who need to be told by the person. What type of relationship they wanted to have with me. Silence and keeping your emotions will not help me understand what to interpret people emotions toward me... What if it's fools hope?..." You mumble your not oblivious but you rather not hope that much. Why can't people be honest what they wish to convey?
But then again, your not one to tell others how you felt. Unless the situation you have with your hubby. Because you trusted your cousin, and your cousin spell doesn't mean you no harm.
Making his silly cupid spell where you will be honest, open and close to the one that share the string of fate with you--kohaku, made you says what you felt and maybe your plan for the future quite often than you would like.
"What are you thinking of?" Kohaku stood beside you as he reach to held your hand, the strings glow bright red as your hands interlock with one another.
"Oh. I'm think about my cousin magic spell." You honestly says. "...cookies." he pull out a cookie from his bag of sweets and your eyes follow the sweets and you forgot the topic at hand.
"You want?" He smiles at you. You nodded as you eyed the cookie."yes." You happily says.
"Ahh." He proceeded to spoonfed you and you happiness nom the cookie.
"There there." He pats your head like your a puppy or a kid.
"Why you treating me like a kid. Hmmp." You pout but you once again swayed by another sweet, this time a mochi. "Ooh..mochi..." You fall in the same bait again and forget agreement with him. "Ahh. Open up " he once again smile as he made you forget what's on your current state of mind.
The scene repeated till you start yawning and fallen asleep against him. The other three watch the scene from the other bench but don't comment.
"...it's nice to meet other friends of my spouse.." kohaku who's holding your sleeping form stared at the three. His smile seems off putting...
"I hope ya all don't try to break someone marriage, even so it's not legal yet in ya ways..." His purple eyes stared at them dead in the eyes, almost felt they looking at a devil. Yet the add sensation of being around of an angel made them ( more like mayoi who's already shaking from everything, mostly from nervousness)
"Hey are you a dark angel?" Hiiro tilt his head as he question the off putting feeling of dread the stranger is giving him.
"... Who knows." Your spouse mumble as he no longer give a single glance at those three, through he give a side eyes at the unconscious best friend of yours before he rolled his eyes before looking back at your sleeping form, as thought comes in his mind.

Tea and sketches (pt. 4 of the painter)
It's been a week since I met Omi Omi, his name is Sakusa Kiyoomi but i'm sticking to calling him Omi Omi which he doesn't seem to mind and it turns out he actually had a name for me throughout the years and it was lotus because the first drawing he ever drew of me was me smelling a lotus, samu says that one of the lotus's meanings is rebirth which got us both thinking about our art and throughout the week we've been looking through old art, getting Omi Omi's dad and my mom to dig out old art that wasn't easy to find but we got enough to really show that we were really drawing things from our perspective and with the pieces together it showed a beautiful story, well that's just my opinion I don't know how Omi Omi feels about it all but he seems content "lotus?" said Omi Omi, catching my attention 
"yeah?" I asked looking up from the green tea I was zoning out at 
"we should make a painting together" he said, making my mind race for what we could paint together "yeah! What should we paint?" I asked curiously 
"why don't we paint this" he said looking away and to his koi as he threw some food in for them "that's a great idea!" I said smiling at him as I pulled the lotus tea cup to my lips to take a sip, he had a very cute lotus tea set the cups we're all blue with little lotus plants and petals with fish in the background while the tea pot was shaped with a lotus flower as the top with fake vines covering the handle and the body of the teapot faded from the flower head to underneath the painted water showing a koi and the stem of the beautiful flower "you really like the teapot huh?" said Omi Omi making me look away from it's beauty to an even lovelier sight 
"yeah, everything in your house is so mesmerizing" I said looking away at the surrounding area "I can't believe you paint and also do ceramics and it's so cool how your the definition of perfection at both" I said thinking back to his collection of ceramic fruit cups that are literally the cutest things ever. 
After tea we went off to a a very popular art store called Sekaido Art Supplies and there we bought a 20x40 in canvas, after getting the canvas and stopping by my house for some extra paint and my easel we went back to Omi Omi's house and sat down on a tarp he put on his floor and got to work sketching our sides of the canvas, often getting up to stare outside and put together all the pieces of the scene. 
After hours of talking and sketching we found that the sun had set and it was getting dark so I grabbed my things, said goodbye to Omi Omi and headed home on the walk home I thought about Omi Omi and how he calls me lotus, the nickname I like it and it's very cute but talking to him reminds me of how in three months i'll be joining the volleyball team MSBY black jackals in osaka which is really exciting and all but i'll be not only leaving my twin in tokyo but also now Omi Omi and I guess suna too but it's also so exciting to get back into volleyball again I finished up my thoughts when I got home to see the lights still on which was weird because samu was usually totally out of it after work so I walked in to make sure he didn't pass out on the floor from overworking himself "atsumu!" he said when I opened the door "where have you been!? It's been more than 6 hours since you left the house to go hang out with Sakusa and you're only getting back at 11?? Are you serious i've been worried if he killed you for goodness sake" he said storming over to me making me huff out a little laugh "you sound like ma" I said not really caring about his concerns "yeah yeah whatever" he said annoyed "don't ever come home this late again or I swear ima file a police report" he said crossing his arms 
"chill out samu I can handle myself perfectly fine" I said walking into my room and setting my things onto my table "what were you two even doing today?" questioned samu as he leaned against my door frame like a whore "drinking tea in his lovely backyard and feeding the koi and then he came up with the idea to paint a portrait together so we went to the store and bought a canvas and then while you were at work we dropped by and grabbed some extra paint to store at his for when we get to painting and then we started our sketching of it" I said happily 
"jeez what's with that love sick grin of yours" said samu frowning making me glare at him 
"well I bet it's the same smile you give sunarin when it's just the two of you" I fired at him 
"yeah okay so what's got you so into sakusa?" questioned samu 
"everything!" I said plopping down on my bed, getting the hint he walked over and layed down with me "did you hear the nickname he gave me!?" I questioned excitedly 
"yeah it's lotus" said samu sticking out his tongue and making a gagging gesture 
"yeah it is and it's ADORABLE" I said "just hearing him say lotus and knowing that i'm lotus is just so-" I said kicking my feet in happiness 
"yeah well suna calls me Hibiscus" said samu in his stupid i'm better than you tone 
"okay and? Lotus is a way cuter nickname" I said rolling my eyes 
"well lotus only means beauty, purity, prosperity and eternity while the hibiscus means love at first sight, beauty, love and emotional healing" said samu gloating about it 
"well at least lotus sounds way prettier than hibiscus and isn't a mouthful" I said shoving him lightly "yeah whatever you gremlin" he said sliding off my bed and walking off to his own, closing the door on his way out "GOODNIGHT SAMU" I yelled after him 
"GOODNIGHT TSUMU" he yelled back.

Six from the server, continuing to poke and prpd the werewolf!Naph AU How does Jayce feel about suddenly developing a case of lycanthropy? <:3c i assume it can't be pleasant
Hi six!! Okay, This is the sequel to This and then This. Viktor's Werewolf Kid Bit Jayce. Modern AU, They're Divorced.
CW: passing references to casual sedation. Werewolf-typical blood description in passing. ___
Jayce wakes up under a blanket, naked and bleary, in someone’s yard, so so far this was about in line with how college had gone. He’d had worse.
He pushes himself up slowly. His mouth tastes like copper, and he doesn’t remember much of anything. What had–
A kid, flying at him, a wolf, blood, pain, Viktor, a dart gun, pain, a wolf, blood–
He shoots the rest of the way up so hard he thinks for a second his vision inverts. His head aches, and his wrists and ankles are stinging, scraped like something rubbed them raw. He tries to take inventory. His leg really fucking hurts but there’s about six sets of teethmarks in it so that fucking tracks.
There’s a mug next to him that seems to have world’s best dad written on it. It has coffee in it. He stares at it for a solid minute, and then decides that it’s probably drugged and picks it up, gingerly, without drinking it. He tries to do the math on if Viktor will kill him harder for being rude and not drinking the drugged coffee, or for wandering in naked, or for daring to bundle himself up in the blanket and come into the house, when he realizes that there's someone staring at him.
He looks up.
The kid is on the back deck, sitting on the slightly raised wooden edge. There's a plate in his lap, like maybe he's been out here a while, eating, since it's empty. There are bags under his eyes. He’s just kind of giving Jayce a dead-eyed stare.
Jayce opens his mouth to say something and the kid cuts him off.
“I’m not sorry.”
Jayce closes it again, considering that.
“That’s fair,” He says, eventually, “Why would you be?”
“Because I've heard you’re an asshole.”
“I am an asshole. What’s your name, again?”
“Naph.”
“Naph, huh.” Jayce shifts in place, slightly uncomfortably as his leg burns, but he carefully folds it more underneath him so he can fold the blanket across his lap.
“The coffee’s drugged,” Naph says, like a peace offering.
“I know. You’re Viktor’s?”
The kid eyes him suspiciously, and Jayce feels a weird pang of something very like pride. Yeah, that’s the way you’re supposed to look when some weirdo asks about your dad. It also looked a lot like Viktor looked when anyone asked him about anything he cared about even slightly. Like father like son, Jayce guessed.
“...Yeah.” Naph says. “He never talked about you.”
He says it with such absolute conviction that Jayce is almost certain that it’s a lie, but he nods and pretends he believes it anyway.
“He didn’t have to. I wasn’t that important.”
Naph tilts his head a little. “–you’re really not mad.”
Jayce snorts. “Why would I be mad?”
“Because I bit you? You’re a werewolf. You’re gonna have to turn into a giant dog once a month. Viktor played frisbee with you.”
Well. Jayce has conflicting feelings about that last one. There’s something weirdly comforting about it, which is almost more disturbing than being angry. He carefully folds that up and then mercilessly represses it. Down the garbage disposal it goes. Flip. Brrrrrrrr.
“Hello?” Naph prompts. Right. Kids didn’t do that thing where they just smile expectantly at you till you got your shit together. He kind of preferred the rudeness. Jayce shakes himself out of it.
“You apologized.”
Naph squints at him. “...I obviously didn’t mean that. I apologized before I bit you. I don’t think pre-apologies count.”
“Kid, if pre-apologies don’t count, I have wronged so many people.”
“A rare moment of self awareness.” Viktor says, dryly, from the doorway, and Jayce instinctually straightens up, ignoring the snort from Naph.
“Hey.” Jayce says, lamely. Viktor’s expression does... something. He’d always been hard to read, the decades between them had certainly not made it any easier. But something softens a little in his expression after a moment, just for a second, before he turns his back.
“Come inside when you’re ready, both of you.” He says. “I made pancakes.”
And that’s more than enough.

The One Where Dabi Gets Involved With Overhaul’s Girl, Part Eighteen.
Edited: 3-26-2021
Tumblr media
A month had passed since Kai announced your engagement, and a month had passed since your pregnancy became public knowledge. You ran your fingers over your stomach, you weren't really showing yet. You knew as the weeks progressed you would blow up like a bowling ball and your stomach would pop open like a flower. As of right now, you had the smallest, most insignificant bump, only you knew it was there and it was only visible with your shirt up.
You looked up from your spot on the couch to Dabi. You hadn't had a moment to talk to him with Hari around. Per what he said to Kai, he had been watching you like a hawk. You hadn't been able to speak to each other freely, let alone even look in each other's direction. Your lingering touches were no longer, your sweet whispered words were gone.
You knew you had to stop such actions due to Hari's presence and watchful eyes, yet part of you couldn't help but feel that the affections you used to brazenly show each other in private had been turned unwanted. Not being alone meant you hadn't gotten the chance to talk to Dabi about this baby, your baby.
You still had no idea if he wanted you both, this was a two-for-one deal now, and it was a tie-breaker you were not willing to get rid of. The true father of your baby was still an unanswered question. An unanswered question you weren't sure mattered to Dabi. Asking Dabi to risk his life for the sake of a baby that might not be his was a huge favor. That was if he even wanted a baby, another unanswered question that sent nerves sparking throughout your body.
Noticing Hari see your eyes on Dabi you quickly come up with something to say to him. You quickly come up with a reason to talk to him. You don't want to make yourself, nor Dabi look suspicious. Anything noteworthy that Hari sees he will take directly to Kai. You didn't want to raise suspicions simply for looking at him.
"I can't believe I'll be naming a baby in seven months. Any suggestions?"
"Let me guess, Kai is leaning towards junior for a boy."
Dabi's face tightens as he says the words, and you suppose to was an unfair question to ask but it was all you could think up on the fly at that moment. Presuming Dabi wanted this baby, it was unfair to ask him such things knowing that if this baby was born before you escaped, then it would be Kai helping you name them.
Presuming that Dabi wanted this baby, it was already unfair that he couldn't be with you, it was unfair he couldn't help you. It wasn't him pulling back your hair when you threw up, it was Kai. It wasn't him rubbing your shoulders, it was Kai. It wasn't him coddling and taking care of you, it was Kai.
Of course, that was presuming and wishful thinking. For all that you really knew he was upset and his tightened smile was out of anger towards Kai and this baby. Anger that this baby was ruining things, ruining his plan to get you and Eri out, and ruining your disclosed and deeply harbored feelings for each other. Anger towards Kai for having possibly gotten you pregnant, anger this baby might actually belong to a monster and not him.
This uncertainty on his feelings was tearing you apart. You didn't know what he wanted, and you didn't know what he was thinking. He could resent this baby, he could hate them, or he could love them. He could be thinking about how he wanted to whisk you away from Kai, he could be thinking about how he wants a family with you, or he could be thinking about not helping you and Eri at all. Knowing him, knowing his own upbringing, and how his own father acted towards him did not help shake the feeling that maybe he didn't want you and this baby anymore.  
"I think Kai Junior would be a lovely name."
Hari, ever-delightful to praise Kai, even in his absence speaks up commending the name. There was no way you'd ever name your child after Kai. Even if this baby ends up being Kai's, even if they had his genes, you would not raise them to be like him. You would not raise them to be such a monster.
"Well, we will have to take it into consideration, but I think I want something more original."
You feel a firm hand slide over your shoulders from behind you, squeezing them in a comforting way. The assailant presses his thumb into your skin in such an intricate way you know exactly who it is. The exact monster whose name you're conversing about.
"Kai Junior has a nice ring to it. We'll discuss it, but whatever we agree on is sure to be perfect."
Kai's voice meets your ears as he leans in close and presses a kiss on your cheek. You want to pull away, you want to reject it. Not with Dabi in front of you, not with you being unsure of his feelings for you and this baby. Showing affection towards Kai feels like a betrayal. Quite ironic seemingly since your shared feelings with Dabi were in fact a betrayal to Kai. You know it would be stupid to pull away from Kai, things have been going good lately. Due to this pregnancy he had given you some of your freedom back, even if it was just a shard of freedom, even the smallest shred felt like a lifetime.
You had Kai utterly convinced you were in love. Whether he thought you were suffering from Stockholm syndrome or were genuinely in love with him didn't matter. He believed you loved him, and that was enough.
"All done with work for the day?"
"No, I needed Hari for some important matters. It'll just be you and Dabi for the rest of the day."
Kai had been keeping his plans more secretive. He was keeping things in front of Dabi and the other league members on a need-to-know basis. You could tell it was making them antsy, and Kai seemed stressed. Although, he hadn't been taking that stress out on you as he used to. Something big was going down soon, you just knew it.
"Okay, be safe."
You give Kai a quick kiss on the lips before he moved away from you and out of the room with Hari hot on his heels. You felt disgusted for having to put on such a display of affection for him, but as you watched him and Hari disappear further and further away, the feelings in your stomach transitioned from disgust to relief, and that relief slowly turned to nervousness. You felt achy and sick, it wasn't the morning sickness that conveniently happened in the afternoon and evening.
This was the first time you would be alone with Dabi since you announced your pregnancy. You would finally be able to discuss it, you would finally be able to talk about what this would mean for your both. You would finally find out whether he wanted this baby, whether he wanted to be a father. You would finally get to put your nerves to rest, but the idea of talking about this made you uneasy.
What if he didn't want this baby? What if he no longer wanted you. You didn't know what you would do without him. While you hated being so codependent on someone, he was all you had. He was your only shot of escaping Kai alive, he was your only shot at getting Eri out safe and now he was the possible father of your baby. He was the man you loved, and If he rejected you, you, and your baby, you would be forced to live an unhappy life going around as Kai's wife for the sake of your baby.
You and Dabi stare at each other in silence for a moment, as if daring one of you to make the first move to break it. Dabi stood up from where he was sitting and made long stridefull steps to the couch you were sitting on. He takes a seat next to you and loosely grabs your hand. The action somewhat puts your gut at ease. He wasn't being cold and distant, that was a good sign, wasn't it?
"You're pregnant, huh?"
"Yeah, Kai did an ultrasound and everything."
"Do you know whose it is?"
You pulled your lip in between your teeth and bit down. Here was the hard part. You didn't know who the actual father was, and you didn't know what that meant to Dabi. It could be hard to father another man's baby. Every day Dabi would have to look in his child's face and possibly see Kai.
"No, the times we... You overlapped each other. I- Are you upset? Does it bother you Kai might be the father?"
"No, no. It's mine."
"How can you be so sure?"
Dabi's grip on your hand tightened as he brought it up to his mouth and left a little kiss on top of your knuckles.
"Doesn't matter who the father is, does it? I'm gonna help you raise it- them. My money is going towards their education and living expenses, my time is going towards raising them into being a good person in such a shitty, unfair world. I'm going to be the father, doesn't matter what a piece of paper or blood work says. They'll be mine, ours."
"So you want them? You want us?"
"You know I had a crap dad, I'll admit when I first found out it scared me. I don't want to be like him, the thought of raising a child and being like him scares me. I'm not going to be like him, I'll be so much better."
"You will! You'll be a great dad."
You reached into the pocket of your pants and pulled out the ultrasound photo. It had gotten a bit beat up because you had it floating around in your pocket ever since you had it taken, you wanted to give it to Dabi as soon as you got the chance. You took the folded photo and placed it in Dabi's hand.
"I want you to have this, just don't let anyone see or know you have it."
You watched in anticipation as Dabi unfolded the photo and looked at it. His own small smile displayed on his face as he refolded it and placed it in the inner pocket of his jacket, secure and safe from prying eyes.
"They're so small."
"I had it taken a month ago, I won't get another until the middle of my second trimester."
"Hijire."
"Hijire?"
Dabi flashed you a smile as he pulled your hand up and kissed your knuckles again. He let out a low chuckle as if he had a very funny joke running through his head.
"I like the name Hijire. Earlier you asked for a suggestion, and I like Hijire."
"Baby Hijire, I like it."

The Lovestruck~Chapter 30
Tumblr media
(18th December)
6 months later.
Black gown around you and black cap in your hand while you stood in the hallway of your college, roaming your eyes around with an overwhelming feeling and a sad feeling growing as you realized that you won't be coming here anymore since it was your graduation day today.
"Y/n!"
You looked at the direction of the voice to see Ria with her camera in her hands as she gestured you to pose which you did by making a peace sign and smiling joyfully.
"Woah! That came out great!" She gave you a thumbs up. "And now you're not shying away, huh?"
You just smiled, shrugging and saw your other friends coming behind her as they all aproached you standing in their black gowns and caps.
Oh, you were so going to miss them.
Rowoon heaved a sigh. "I can't believe, we're already graduating."
Sooyoung clicked her tongue. "Why are you talking like we're not going to meet again?"
"Right?" Mark spoke."We are going to meet occasionally but still I'm going to miss you all."
He hugged the both girls which they reciprocated and then to Rowoon who instantly put a cringed face making you all laugh before he hugged you.
"Hands off my wife!"
Everyone startled at the voice and you both pulled away to see your one and only Boyfriend standing in a white knitted sweater and jeans while a bouquet in his hands as he made his way towards you frowning at Mark.
"Y/n, You're already married." Rowoon gasped and you shook your head before Baekhyun wrapped his arm around your shoulder. "Consider us married."
You just rolled your eyes smiling while your friends were contemplating at what reaction they should give this gentleman beside you. Suddenly, Ria raised her camera causing you and Baekhyun to smile at her where she took a picture and then her camera's angle went behind you.
You all looked behind to see Chanyeol aproaching with a bouquet in his hands and Ria kept snapping his pics until he was standing infront of her. They were exchanging those shy grins and looks as he handed the bouquet to her while you all were standing there with a weird look on your face.
"Excuse me? We're here too." Sooyoung spoke looking done with the couple and they chuckled looking back at you all.
"Anyway," Baekhyun started as everyone looked at him."I hope you guys have a great life ahead and Thank you for taking care of my Y/n."
You looked away from them getting all shy while they groaned before Ria spoke. "It's our cue to leave."
Baekhyun chuckled. "I like you for being quick-witted."
She gave him a look playfully before they all walked away to the hall where the graduation ceremony was being held.
"Happy graduation day." He held out the bouquet and you stood infront of him taking it smilingly. "Thank you. So, you made it."
He nodded. "I had to, I don't want to get beaten up by my girlfriend."
You hit his arm playfully with your cap as he laughed before you tilted your head creasing your forehead. "Isn't it wife?"
Baekhyun put a surprise expression. "Right!"
You chuckled before hugging his waist and placed your head against his chest staring outside before feeling his arms wrapping around you as he kissed your hair. "What's wrong?"
You closed your eyes sighing. "Just thinking about how much I am going to miss this place and it's making me sad."
He hummed caressing your hair. "I know this feeling very well and it's okay to be sad since this day won't come again. But you know, someone said this to me, that it's the way of life."
"You live in the moment of present and it becomes a past memory to reminisce." He trailed off to pull away as he wore you the cap before cupping your cheeks. "So, let's cherish these moments together."
You giggled nodding. "Wow! That someone must be genius. Who's that?"
Baekhyun chuckled raising his brows teasingly. "My wife."
"Alright. Let's go! " You laughed as you linked your arm around his and walked towards the hall.
_____________
You were standing outside with your classmates, friends and your professors for a group picture while your female classmates were squealing to see Baekhyun standing there at the side with your parents who arrived after him.
"Okay, throw your caps in the air when I count to three."
As the countdown was made, you all threw the caps in the air and the moment was captured before you took some pictures with your parents and friends.
Chanyeol who went to attend an important call, came back and then you friends took a picture in a group with your boyfriends. Lastly it was you and Ria, the forever besties, you both kept making weird faces while taking the pictures making everyone laugh.
Not long before, your friends were busy got busy with eachother while you and Baekhyun decided to take last tour of your college. You were passing by the garden area where Baekhyun instantly stopped as his eyes spotted the spot where you always sit and the night of the event came across his mind which made him smile remembering it.
You, on the other hand, were recalling the days where always sat with Ria and then glanced at Baekhyun to see him smiling which made you confused. "Why are you smiling?"
He turned to you and chuckled shaking his head leaving you even more confuse before he looked up at the window of the music room where he would always look at you from. Shrugged off his thoughts, he pulled your perplexed figure with him to the Basketball court, from where he actually began to know you more.
"You know," He trailed off as you looked at him to see him staring at the bleachers side before he pointed towards it. "You were sitting right there when I got to know know about you studying in the same college as me."
You smiled. "You still remember it?"
"How can I forget that?" He chuckled, roaming his eyes around the court, the days of him with his friends playing freely flashed infront of his eyes before he took the ball in his hand and threw it in the basket making it perfect score.
"I want to do this too." You jogged towards him taking the ball and attempted to throw it but it bounced away making you pout sadly.
Baekhyun chuckled coming behind you as he made you hold the ball before instructing you. "Bend your knees a little and let your shoulder relax, then focus on the target and throw it."
You nodded understanding and did as he instructed before throwing the ball and surprisingly it went in.
You gasped. "It went in!"
He giggled behind you caressing your hair. "You're a fast learner."
You shrugged, smiling before he wrapped his arms around your waist as he placed his chin on your shoulder. "So... We're graduated now."
You let out a hum nodding where he sighed. "I think we graduated too early."
"Why?" You questioned confusingly before he he turned you around, still holding you still. "We could've spend more time together here and do other things too."
Grasping his words, you smiled reaching out to wrap your arms around his neck. "Well, we could have but this is not bad too."
He bit his lower lip, nodding. "I think I'm still thankful for Ria to take you here for the basketball game that day, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have known about you studying here."
You tilted your head, thinking. "You're right, actually you should be thankful for her."
He rolled his eyes before slightly tickling your waist causing you to squeal as you pushed him away playfully while his laughter echoed in the silent court.
And that's how your day came to an end with your last day of college.
________________
( 26 December )
8:42 pm
Sniffing, you fixed your beanie before fishing your hands in your black thick jacket pocket since it was month of December and the cold was increasing more. Walking through the cold path from your home to your usual place to meet Baekhyun who seemed to be already there as you can see his broad back sitting on the bench. Smiling you advanced towards him carefully not to make any noise and wrapped your arms around his neck from behind where he flinched causing you giggle.
"Hi." You put your chin on his shoulder as you felt him relax before he turned his head to give you a light smile while wrapping his hands around you wrists pulling you closer.
It's been a week to your graduation day and tomorrow was an important day for Baekhyun as the game he and his employees have been preparing, was finally going to be presented tomorrow.
"Don't think about it too much, it's going to be alright." You tilted your head to peek at his face who was lost in his thoughts staring ahead.
He nodded. "It's just...we have been preparing for months now and the day is finally here, so I'm just really nervous."
"It's okay to feel like this." You caressed his cheek with your thumb making him close his eyes. "You've been preparing for this day, so it's normal to feel nervous. But don't let your nervousness take over your confidence because I know and I believe you're gonna do your best."
He smiled at your words before looking at you. "You think so?"
Kissing his cheek, you smiled. "I know so."
He giggled kissing your palm before resting his temple against your cheek while staring ahead. You heard him sighing constantly making you worry as you couldn't see him like this.
You smacked your lips. "Baek, get up."
He frowned. "What?"
"Get up and let's go."
"But why? And where?"
You clicked your tongue. "Don't be an Ajjusshi, and let's go."
Baekhyun rolled his eyes. "This girl seriously! If you don't stop calling me that, I'll start calling you Ajjumma."
You raised your eyebrows amused and looked at him. "Try it then."
He stared at you before opening his mouth but closed it instantly as nothing came out and pouted looking away.
You giggled. "I knew it."
He huffed, cutely standing up. "Just you wait, after our marriage I'm going to call you that."
Your brows knitted as you both were making your way to his car. "No, what if our kids start calling us that."
He laughed. "Wouldn't it be great? Instead of calling mom and dad, they'll call us Ajjusshi and Ajjumma."
You face palmed your face. "God, I can already imagine you spoiling them."
"Hey! I won't!"
"Ugh, I don't know! Gimme your car keys."
Pulling over the car around the nearby park before you glanced at Baekhyun who was just staring at you with a confused look which made you chuckle. You unbuckled your seatbelt and motioned him to do the same where he sighed but did as you told him without questioning.
Taking off your beanie, you scrunched your nose as your hair fell over your face before pushing the strands away and Baekhyun giggled helping you with it.
"Come on." You brushed your fingers through your hair last time before getting out and Baekhyun did the same where you dragged him to the basket ball court as he stood there staring perplexed.
"Stay here, I'll be back!" You sprinted away without letting him speak as he watched your tiny figure running away making him smile before he looked ahead rubbing his cold hands to warm them.
"Baek!" He heard your loud voice behind causing him to turn back before a ball was thrown in his direction which he instantly caught in a reflex.
"Oh~ Nice catch!" You exclaimed as he looked at you before you let out a smile. "Let's have a game!"
Baekhyun chuckled before nodding and you jogged towards him before stealing the ball from his hands then ran away giggling. "Lost one's going to grant a wish!"
Baekhyun who was still standing there dumbfounded before he turned around
"That's cheating!"
You bounced the ball perfectly as Baekhyun was running towards you and you instantly ran passed him before throwing the ball in the basket which went in causing you jump excitedly.
Baekhyun watched you amazed as an amused smile crept on his lips. "You're really getting good at this."
You shrugged sassily. "I learnt from the best."
He chuckled nodding before grabbing the ball and you both kept playing by blocking eachother or stealing the ball from eachother but you were happy seeing him forgetting his worries and having fun.
As he was about to throw the ball, you ran towards him and stole it from him laughing as he began to chase you causing you both run in the circle. Soon, you felt his both arms around your waist from behind and you lost your balance causing you both fall down lying beside eachother.
The ball was gone from your hands, don't know where and you didn't even care since you both were laughing mess with your head resting over Baekhyun's arm.
Baekhyun faced his body towards you who was catching her breath while lost in laughing and him lost in you. Soon, he came to a realization that whatever his worries were in his life, you were enough for him to make his life better and happier.
_______________
(27 December)
Next day
7:35 pm
You were standing outside of the Café waiting for your brother as Rose was already gone while you stood there facing the direction to wait for your brother's face to pop up soon. Although, you have told him not to pick you up now but your brothers and your boyfriend along with your dad didn't agreed, hence you were here tapping your foot while waiting so you can go home as you still haven't got any call from Baekhyun since his phone was switched off.
Your phone buzzed, causing you to fish it out to check where a smile crept on your lips seeing the name before picking it up but before you could answer it, his voice reached your ear. [You really don't listen to me, don't you?]
You frowned. [Hm? What?]
[I told you to wear something warm so you won't catch cold again]
You were about to reply but then it hit your brain causing your eyes to widen as you instantly turned around to him standing behind, not so far away.
Dressed in a Grey suit and a black coat reaching his thigh while his hair styled upwards making him look good than he already was where you frowned with your phone still pressed against your ear. [When did you get here?]
[Just now, but can you hang up and hug your boyfriend now?] He asked, hanging up as he spread his arms motioning you to come with his chin while smiling widely. Smiling back, you jogged towards him and engulfed him in a hug where his arms wounded around your waist sweeping you off the ground slightly.
Placing you down gently, you attempted to pull away only for him to tightened his grip on you as he placed his chin on your shoulder. "Don't, I had a very long day today."
You smiled. "You did well today and you won. I'm so proud of you."
He pulled away holding you by your waist as your arms were locked around his neck and his brows crashed. "How did you know?"
"I can see through you." You said and he mouthed your words together with you making you both laugh. "And I knew you would win. Who's boyfriend are you?"
"Oh~ Confident, huh?" He raised his eyebrows smirking and you shrugged smiling before he leaned his head forehead against yours. "And yes, we won."
"But weren't we meeting at home?" You questioned and he nodded. "That was the plan but Sehun told about the presentation on the group and now they want a treat."
"I guess my card is going to be empty by the night." He sighed, looking up and you laughed making him look at you with a playful glare before smiling. "And I can't just count you out, you know."
You nodded as you both pulled away before he looked at you up to down wearing a thick knitted sweater and jeans. "Don't you think, you're taking the winter too easily? You have made a vow to make me worry."
You frowned. "It's not that cold."
"Yeah?" He took off his coat before wrapping it around you as he took your cold hands in his hands to warm them up. "But your strawberry nose is telling me otherwise."
You sniffed, making him giggle before you held out your hand. "Can I drive?"
Instead of handing the keys, he grabbed your hand before taking a quick peck from your lips leaving you blushing as he walked ahead. "No can do, I love my life."
You snapped out before slapping his arm. "Hey!"
You were seated around a long table where your friends and Baekhyun's employees were present who went with him while others couldn't be here for some reasons. Sehun was telling how the atmosphere was serious that he almost forgot what he was going to present and how Young Joon, his employee's face was making him laugh but he didn't dare to infront of them. Their experiences were hilarious making everyone laugh at the table.
Ria was also getting along with them as how her personality is and told you that she had applied for a teaching job which she always wanted to do. You also had applied to a publishing company as you always wanted to work there.
You were relieved as everthing was going well and on the right track.
"Hyung, since we have been working without a break, give us some day off." Sehun said more like a demand and Baekhyun nodded while casually pouring you the chicken soup making you smile at his gesture.
Not others though, as Sehun rolled his eyes making you give him a boring look before continuing your meal.
"Wow, it's so pretty." Ria spoke staring outside the glass window as it was snowing and Chanyeol chuckled. "You're more pretty."
Ria blushed hitting his arm lightly making him giggle while you all stared at them weirdly before Kyungsoo. "Let me eat peacefully."
You chuckled staring outside and suddenly the day where Baekhyun confessed to you while it was snowing crossed your mind making you smile. You turned to look at him and he was already looking at you smiling as if he was thinking the same.
"Wait- what's with this staring?" Sehun asked suspiciously and Baekhyun chuckled. "It's our thing."
"Ugh, Must you do this when I'm eating." Jongin groaned making everyone laugh.
"I'm opening a restaurant soon." Kyungsoo spoke gaining everyone's attention where you all halted while the latter was eating nonchalantly.
"Wow! Really?" Ria exclaimed loudly and he smiled at her reaction while you gave him a thumb up.
"That's a good idea." Jongin said looking at him with twinkling eyes. "I have always liked your cooking.
"Deliver some to our office too." Baekhyun joked casually making him laugh and giving him a nod.
"Kyungsoo-yah, I'll eat a lot for free." Chanyeol said laughing but Kyungsoo's reply made all of you laugh. "Who's letting you in though?"
Chanyeol pouted throwing him an air punch and Ria patted his back. "Don't worry, i'll let you come with me. We'll stay hidden."
You all laughed together before Baekhyun suddenly stood up. "You guys enjoy, I have to take Y/n somewhere."
You frowned but stood up as you helped him wear his blazer and Ria awed. "Just get married already."
Baekhyun chuckled at her and you glared at her before hanging his other coat in your arms. Then he took your hand and led you outside before you both bid goodnight to them and left.
You kept taking glances at your boyfriend imersed in the driving and then outside the silent road. "Mister, we have been driving for like twenty minutes now and I'm asking this hundredth time. Where are we going?"
Baekhyun took quick glance at your confused frustrate face before looking ahead. "And I'm telling you this hundredth time that be patient, Missy."
You huffed. "You know I'm not patient."
He nodded. "Right. So, be a little patient."
You clicked your tongue huffing and leaned your head against the headrest while looking outside before your eyes widened to see the road getting dark and huge trees either side of you.
"Are you throwing me off somewhere because I have been whining lately?" You asked gasping dramatically while making a cry face before looking at him questionly.
Baekhyun looked at you and then ahead before chuckling. "Stop being cute. You're distracting me."
"So just tell me, hm?"
He sighed before looking at you as a mischievous grin crept on his lips. "You're being kidnapped, Coffee bean. Is that answer enough?"
You widened your eyes playing along. "I should call my dad this instant."
"I already told him." He trailed off to look at smirking. "And guess what? He was happy."
"So, this is what I get for being a good girlfriend?" You looked outside with a dramatic expression while Baekhyun couldn't stop smiling at you before he suddenly made a turn and entered in a place filled with trees.
Your eyes enlarged as the car halted in the middle of the forest around a grass areas and you looked at him in surprise. "You were serious about throwing me off?"
He chuckled shaking his head. "Let's get out."
You shook your head vigorously with your eyes going huge. "Haven't you watched horror movies? Mostly ghost wander in forests and the protagonists gets possessed."
Baekhyun watched you blabbering cutely and smiling, he just got out leaving you perplexed and scared before walking towards your side. You rolled down the window and looked at him fearfully. "Baekhyun come inside. What if something happens?"
He chuckled leaning down as he rested his folded arms on the window. "Don't worry, the ghost won't do anything to me when the owner is sitting right here."
You frowned but then your jaw dropped as you attempted to hit but he backed away laughing. "I hate you!"
"No, you love me."
"And why he's so right about this." You muttered huffing before he leaned down again. "And you're going to be the most beautiful ghost ever."
You looked away trying not to smile before looking at him. "And this most beautiful ghost is gonna haunt you forever."
He smiled widely. "And I would love to get haunted."
You both giggled together before he suddenly opened the door and leaned down to unbuckle your seatbelt but you stopped him. "Are you sure?"
Baekhyun frowned. "Are you sure you're a horror lover?"
"That's different!" You whined and he giggled pecking your nose before making you get out of the car.
"Why are- Wow." You gasped as you roamed your eyes around with a shocked face before it turned into an amazed one. The whole area seemed so silent yet it gave a calm feeling with the stars and moon above you looked so beautiful.
Soon, you felt his arms around your shoulder from behind making you smile as you tilted your head to look at him while your arm caressing his arm slowly.
You looked up again. "How did you know this place?"
"The day I went to meet the client and my car broke down around this area. So I roamed around and found this place." He trailed off as he his hand went to your wrist. "When I saw this place, I just had this thought. Ah, I should bring Coffee bean here."
You smiled before feeling something on your wrist as you looked down to see him wearing you a bracelet. You brought your wrist up to see a silver bracelet with your and his first names initial filled with tiny stars around.
You smiled caressing the initials softly. "It's beautiful."
Baekhyun smiled back placing his chin on your shoulder. "Since you love stars, I prepared it like this."
You frowned about to say something but he instantly came infront of before placing your both hands on his shoulders while his hands went to your waist as he lifted you up and placed you on the bonnet.
You blinked couple of times blushing before he wrapped his coat around your legs while walking towards the other side and sat beside you. Smiling, you wrapped half of the coat around his legs making him smile as he scooted closer to you.
Then something hit you. "How do you know I love stars?"
"You told me at the night of the event." He paused to look at you frowning. "Don't tell me, you still don't remember?"
You shook your head smiling sheepishly and he sighed. "I'm never letting you get drunk again."
You giggled wrapping his arm around your shoulder as always while placing your head on his shoulder before kissing his cheek taking him by surprise.
"What was that for?"
"Just, for taking me here."
You both sat in comfortable silence gazing the stars and out of nowhere, a question popped up in your head. "Can I ask you something?"
He sat up as you leaned away before he looked at you. "Let me prepare myself."
You rolled your eyes before staring at him seriously. "How did you know that you love me?"
He was taken aback by your unexpected question but instantly recovered sighing as he licked his lips. "The day when you and Ria met an accident. Your trembling voice through the phone was enough to make me go crazy with worry. And that day I realized, I loved you too much to lose you."
You stared at him amazed by his answer making you feel so lucky to have him by your side and your lips stretched into a smile.
Baekhyun tilted his head. "What about you? How did you know?"
You widened your eyes blinking and looked away before shrugging. "It's nothing special."
Baekhyun frowned. "Everything about you is special to me. So, tell me."
Butterflies erupted in your stomach by his sudden heart fluttering words and you hesitantly looked at him. "Don't laugh, okay?"
Baekhyun raised his hands surrendering. "No, promises."
"Seriously!"
He giggled. "Okay, okay!"
You sighed. "I don't know exactly when but I got a little bit jealous and that was when I realized as why I was feeling like this because I liked you."
"Wait, you got jealous?" He asked amazed before frowning. "But I don't think, I have ever hung out with girls, then who?"
You bit your lip looking away. "Um, that day when you introduced Somi to me."
He bit his lower lip grinning. "Seriously? And here I thought my girlfriend doesn't get jealous."
You sighed closing your eyes. "I shouldn't have told you, you're going to tease me forever."
"You're so right about that." He laughed and you whined pushing him lightly but forgetting your great strength which made him almost fall off the car.
You instantly grabbed his arm at the right time pulling him towards you and you both stared at each other shook before bursting out laughing.
You hugged his waist while leaning your head against his shoulder staring above. "Let's be like this, always."
He wrapped his arm around your shoulder making you both lean back against the windscreen before kissing your temple and looked up.
"Always."

Ping-Pong
Tumblr media
✧ Harry’s a foster kid who always seem to get abandoned until this particular family stays with him, but he can’t seem to trust them. Aylin, the girl across the street, talks too much and her parents fight a lot more. Both of them want to just get out of their houses, and playing ping-pong on the town’s fair brings them together for years.
Word count: 2144
Warnings: — (for now)
Part I (you’re here!)
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V
Part VI
Part VII
Part VIII
A/N: hi ! this will be a short story so there will be multiple parts, obviously lol. there will be a number on the beginning of each chapter which means what age they are. I know the description makes it seem a bit boring but honestly is fluff and stuff like that :) hope u like it
13
Harry's head vibrated as he was leaning against the window while the car seemed to be cruising through sky, sea, and land, fighting storms and a giant monster when in truth they were just passing a dirt road.
Lilian, who was sitting co-pilot, looked back with fireworks exploding in her eyes every time she saw Harry, while Dev squeezed his wife hand tightly, her cheeks burning from the prominent smile that adorned her lips, which has remained intact since they left the place where the foster kids wait for someone to take pity on them and take them home. A real home.
On the other hand, the emotion was the least throbbing in the being of the boy, because he has already lived this process twice, three counting now and he knows that it will end in dissolving the existing family—the family by blood and then later go back to the orphanage and repeat the same process over and over and over again.
Well that's what he thinks. How could he not? The two families who took him in threw him out again like a stranded dog in search of the warmth of real love. So no, Harry doesn't want to allow himself to get excited and think that maybe they will keep him (yes, as an object) and that maybe they will love him and that maybe he will love them and that maybe Lilian will make him cookies with a glass of milk when he feels bad or that maybe Dev would teach him to cook or do his homework and that maybe everything will be fine.
"We have a lemon pie waiting for you at home, we — we don't know if you like it, I hope you like it, we prepared it with a lot of love for you, Harry."
"We prepared?" Dev laughed and Lilian rolled her eyes in amusement. "It would sound better if you say that I prepared, don't you think?" He looked in the mirror at Harry. "Champ, the kitchen almost burned down! Doing a lemon pie! Can you believe it?"
The curly-headed simply looked directly at Dev in the rearview mirror and tried to smile at him, which did not work and managed to slowly hide his prominent smile, Lilian giving him another firm grip on his hand and smiling at him with sorrow because deep down they both know that Harry isn't going to trust them just like that. He has felt used, but he also think he's useless, people have abandoned him, he doesn't have parents or a real family, so they understand.
And they will wait for him to open up, because having a child on their own was something that, unfortunately, they could not fulfill.
.
.
.
   Aylin's small hands covered both of her ears as she hid under the covers, without first making sure to close the door to her room. Her eyes were tight and a melody came from her lips that she sang every time this happened; but even so, the screams and loud words coming from the floor below her were not drowned out and managed to enter her brain.
   It has been a full two weeks now where breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a big plate of arguments from her parents. Now, apparently, it also came in snacks.
   Another sound was added to her brain, they were more murmurs and an engine being turned off, although the murmurs were not from her incredibly angry parents, but from some who were calm and trying to gain the trust of a new family member.
   Curious as always, like a monkey hanging from a tree, she got out of it (that is, her bed) and went to the window where her big eyes filmed a new scene that she had never seen before: the Evans were getting out of their car with a boy in a black joggers and jumper, dirty sneakers, and a hat. Aylin's mouth parted slightly, surprised that the Evans had never mentioned a cousin or that they had a godson.
   She doesn't know how long she was watching them, but she was fed up because now the only staging was the house across the street and the car parked outside was already inside the tiny garage.
   Even her parents' screaming stopped, so she supposed that the hands of the clock turned the clock several times in a row and extremely fast; speed of light, up to.
    Suddenly, her eyes caught how the same boy from a while ago came out and closed the front door ever so softly, squeezing his eyes a little as there was no longer any open space between the frame and the wood, placing a hand on his chest and releasing all the air in his lungs. Then, he put on the hood that came with his jumper and started walking. Aylin, with a smile on her lips, ran down the stairs and also left, obnoxious about the fact that her parents don't even care where their thirteen-year-old daughter will go alone, but that was already typical.
   The truth is that lately she has been feeling lonely, her house no longer feels like home and love was not a prominent thing in her heart, so the opportunity to be with someone who is probably her own age coming at a silver tray for her is something she cannot throw away, so jogging and running short of breath to reach the boy, Aylin yelled:
   "Hey! Wait! You! Wait – please!"
   Harry stopped walking and turning his torso a few degrees and pulling his hood off, he made eye contact with Aylin, who was still jogging with one hand outstretched in a 'stop please I'm dying' sign.
   "Um. . ." he started looking behind her in case Lilian or Dev sent the stranger after him. "Do you need help or. . .?"
   "You arrived with the Evans, didn't you?"
   "Er, yes."
   "Are you their godson? Cousin? They never told me about a cousin," Aylin said the last more to herself, pursing her lips.
   "Um. . . I'm—" Harry debated whether to admit that he was taken in from an orphanage or that he was a cousin — a godson, whatever. He thought that, thanks to past experiences, they will get rid of him in about three weeks, or a month, or even less, so: "I'm a. . . godson. Yes. That's what I am."
   "Oh, cool!" It wasn't. Aylin's illusions of having a new friend were crushed like an ant walking through a crowd, because if he was a godson then he wouldn't stay that long, anyway, it doesn't hurt to befriend him in the time that remains. "Where are you going?"
  "I don't know. I wanted to walk— "
   "Cool! Let's walk together. I'm Aylin. What's your name? There's this really cool fair at the center of the town, it has a loooot of cool games and cool stuff! Let's go there!"
   ". . . alone." Harry's word was lost with the wind as Aylin wasted no time in entwining her arm with his to pull him and walk with him while smiling from ear to ear for her new friend; on the other hand, Harry grumbled and what he wanted the most was to have duct tape to place it on the girl's mouth, she never stopped talking!
   ". . . And so the teacher farted and everyone laughed and— look! We arrived!"
   The two (still with arms intertwined) were standing in front of the start of the fair: lots of people, perhaps everyone who lives here in this small town came and went, children with cotton candy or candied apples, teenagers joking with their friends and parents waiting for the adrenaline rush in their children's bodies to relax. Immediately one could see the great white ferris wheel, the biggest game of all.
   "There are so many games!" Aylin kept talking as the two of them walked through the crowd. Harry must admit that his mood improved a bit when he saw all the attractions and happy faces and the smell of candy, but he stopped short when he saw an unoccupied ping-pong table, when she noticed this, she looked at the boy and smiled. "You like ping-pong, huh?" He nodded. "Me too! Let's play!"
   And so now the two of them were at either end of the table, paddle in hand, Aylin the black one and Harry the red one, the latter holding the white ball in his left hand, his tongue peeking out the side of his lips as he concentrated to make a good shot.
   Although it's hard to concentrate when she keeps talking, and talking, and talking.
   Some say it's a quality, others say it's irritating, but she can't help it, her tongue is never in a knot and words always roll down from it as easily as if they were made of butter. Aylin knows well how talkative she is, and there are times when she hates such quality because she does not know when to stop talking, and sometimes, inadvertently, she begins to talk about personal problems. . . like now.
   They were both quite good at playing ping-pong, their wrists moved with fluidity and a technique that was not naive at all, the harmony of the game rarely was cut off and the ball rolled on the floor where one of the two had to come out chasing after it like an idiot.
   "My parents have been arguing a lot lately. I mean, they always argue but now it's like a lot, everyday. Last night," ping–, "I heard them saying some things. I think my dad is with. . . you know. . . another woman,"–pong.
   "They will probably divorce. I've seen it. . . in movies! Yeah. . . movies."
   Aylin stopped the game by catching the ball and setting her paddle on the blue table. Harry frowned. "Why did you stop?"
   "A-are my parents going to break up?"
   Harry swallowed the accumulated saliva inside his mouth as he realized that Aylin's usually lively eyes had now passed away and a layer of tears was the only thing that made them shine.
   "I, um, er, I mean, they probably will— not! They'll probably figure it, uh, out?" By then, the girl's cheeks had turned red as a watermelon and tears were already streaming down her cheeks like a winter storm, placing a hand over her mouth and running off, losing herself in the crowd.
   Harry's mouth fell open in agape as guilt filled his heart. He wanted her to be quiet, but not in this way, so the only thing he could think of was to chase her, although it will be difficult to find her when there are hundreds of people running from one place to another and many loud sounds.
   "Aylin! Aylin! Where are you Aylin?!"
   Now he was getting desperate: according to the watch that was stolen from one of the houses he was in, twelve minutes have passed since he went out in search, but without being able to find the treasure. Thousands of situations and thoughts crossed his mind: she's lost, it's your fault, she was kidnapped, it's your fault, maybe she's dead, it's your fault, it's your fault, it's your fault.
   In the end, it seems like it's always Harry's fault.
   Then he saw her. She was sitting on the ground, the darkness playing in her favor, her knees bent toward her chest and her arms hugging herself.
   In the end, it seems that Aylin will always have to hug herself.
   He hadn't even noticed when his feet guided him to one of the tent shops and now he had a cotton candy in one hand and a candied apple in the other. He had no idea where he got the money from; he just rummaged in his pockets and voilà! Money.
   Harry sat next to her somewhat nervous, he didn't know what to say, or how to act, what he should think, less how to give her what he bought her. Aylin already knew of his presence, but said nothing.
   "Ejm, I — I bought you this, I'm not sure if you like cotton candy more or candied apple. . . uh, which one?"
   She sniffed her nose that looked like Rudolph the reindeer's nose and turned her head to look at Harry. Her eyes were swollen and from time to time she would shake from the force (and consistency) of her crying.
   Slowly, with her index finger, she pointed, surprisingly shy at the cotton candy. Harry smirked because at least she accepted his ‘forgive me gift’. He kept the apple and the two of them silently began to eat the sweets.
   And Harry thought that perhaps he wanted to hear her speak more, since now there was no sound between the two, not even of her breathing, nor of her thoughts. But at least she ate with him.

Brothers anon, sorry its been like 2 days since I last submitted something! I've been busy and whenever I finally had time to sit down and write this all its like 1 in the morning. I hope its still ok for me to send these.
🌹 anon ima respond to you first, your The Deal au could be the reason why and how Ranboos and Dreams soul got mixed and linked together. But then a problem is how did it pass to Ranbob? In my au, each person has their own soul basically. And while certain attributes like DNA can be passed through bloodlines, souls can't, as their unique to their person. 
What left Ranbob vulnerable to Dream is that he was seen as the star student. The apprentice everyone wanted. He always got perfect grades and was seen as the smartest in the City. This did not go well. As Ranbob was put under a ton of pressure to always stay perfect and get everything right. When his grades started to slip and his chosen mentor started to put even more work on him, his mentality started to suffer. With him losing sleep and starting to not care for himself or do the basic necessities like eating or drinking, all in an effort to be "perfect". Its through this need, and weakened state over all, Dream's presence was able to slip in and convince him to let him help.
Benjamin is 30, Isaac 29, Cletus is 24, and Charles is 27. 
When Ranbob first told Ran about the Dream mask and how he wasnt himself, Ran did not believe him at all. And kept saying that he needs to stop lying and fess up to what he did and pay for it. Others tried to convince him that his brother really wasn't in control of himself, but was met with strong skepticism, scoffs, and disbelief. With Ran not beliving that was the truth at all.
Watson was very shocked but quickly reorganized himself cause he had to calm Jackie, and its only after Jackie fell asleep he was like "Oh fuck. I really am the dad huh?" Jackie was embarrassed at first but after some prodding did say how he truly saw Watson as a dad figure in his life. And everyone had different reactions to Watson suddenly accepting and fitting into the dad role. Jackie was excited and immediately started calling him dad and asking him awkward dad questions "Dad whats puberty?" "Uhhh-" "Dad where do babies come from?" "Ask your dad about that!" "But you are my dad!" Ran seemed indifferent about it but Watson can tell he's revealed to have someone to talk too, and someone to go to if things get to much. Grievous keeps sating he doesn't need a dad but he's the one that goes to Watson the most for things like hugs, comfort, and advice. 
Jackie and Grievous do everything. They rig the battle field so if someone steps in a certain area water will shoot up into their face, Grievous usually taunts and distracts opponents so Jackie can sneak up behind them and just latch onto them and cover their eyes while giggling like a madman as the opponent screams and runs around trying to get him off. Jackie regularly pulls peoples seat out from under them, while Grievous scares them and makes them choke or drop something. But they do know peoples limits. Like for Ran, no water related pranks (there was an incident where Grievous spilled a whole bucket of water on him and Ran got severe burns and had to stay in the hospital ward for a few days), for Watson don't mess with his bow or arrows, he will stab you. And for eachother, Jackie, no pranks that leave him alone for extended periods of time or makes it seems like everyone is gone/left. For Grievous no pranks centered around food or drinks (like putting toothpaste in his sandwich or putting pepper in his beer). 
Ran and Jackie have a 50/50 win if that makes sense. They both win and lose pretty often. They play games like Spoons, Go Fish, Dart Throwing (Watson needs to be present for this one), something similar to Cards Against Humanity, Poker (everyone plays during this one), and Tic Tac Toe. 
Sometimes Jackie loves being the smallest and other times hates it. He hates it when Ran steals something of his and holds it above his head, he sometimes resorts to aggressively climbing Ran to get it but Ran tends to just pluck him off, and people make fun of him in a mean natured way (he's fine with light teasing). But he loves it when he rides Ran's shoulders or can duck under peoples legs and trip em. Because he's also small and fast he's hard to catch and that definitely comes in handy during fights. No ones particularly protective of eachother (excluding Ran who's protective of everyone), because they know none of them like being babied and they can all hold their own, though they will quickly flock to help eachother if they need it. Ran definitely flaunts it whenever their in a agurement. 
There is a area under the fighting arena of the pit where they stay. Theres separate rooms for everyone, training areas, dinning areas, and just chilling areas. Theres even extra rooms meant for often visiting friends (Like Genevieve) and some for storage of weapons which also holds things to sharpen them or get new ones. The Pit itself is in the middle of a gaint city, so there are tons of stores and food areas around. And because of a high salary the King gives them they go out quite often, often eating out and browsing stores when their not training or sleeping. 
If by other combinations you mean like Ran-Jackie, Ran-Grievous, Watson-Jackie, and Watson-Grievous then it highly varies. Watson and Jackie are by far the worst team, their styles just don't match and constantly but heads during battles. Watson and Grievous are probably the best out of the 4 teams because Grievous can be serious and works well with Watson as he's much more willing to change his fighting style to accommodate whats needed. Ran and Jackie are like Jackie and Grievous, but they aren't nearly as insane. Rather Ran provides distractions while fighting to give Jackie time to sneak up behind them. Ran also is the only one able to actually throw Jackie, which they sometimes do during battles. And Ran and Grievous work well together, but not as much as Watson and Grievous, its just a few things of both their styles don't match or could potentially cause problems.
He's clumsy flat out, he isn't used to having full control and needs to get used to certain things like walking or talking again. He is also severely dehydrated and malnutritished because Dream didn't care enough to drink or eat. He's also incredibly skittish and scared easily. He and Cletus's relationship isn't solved fast at all, it takes months and the work of everyone to get the two comfortable around eachother. They start by putting Cletus on watching duty, where he watches over Ranbob to make sure he's eating and drinking and resting while not tiring himself out. Then after a month or 2 Isaac, Benjamin, and Charles start purposely leaving the two in a room alone toghere to get them to talk stuff out. It takes 3 months until their comfortable enough with eachother to willingly talk and hang out. Oh the house building attempts went aboustely awful. They sometimes fell on Ranbob! And when they didn't they just collapsed or got blown away by the wind, but Isaac did ofter help a few times and showed him multiple different ways to make sure the walls stay up and keep the cold out. 
Ran is very unhappy with Ranbobs haunting, he thinks their kind of like Ranbob in which they've all killed people and considers them a threat at first, but when he sees how his haunting likes and interacts with Ranbob's, he losens up a bit, his group trusts them, so he has to trust them a little bit. But he doesn't trust them or like them nearly as much as he trusts and likes his haunting. 
Im guessing you mean who from the two groups get along the easiest. Most of them take a while to get to know eachother, like a few hours. But after that their all really close. Charles and Jackie, Cletus and Grievous, and Benjamin, Isaac, and Watson are the groups that get along really well really fast. 
Im honestly probably am going to go for them adventuring outside the City to try to get the brothers to get along again. Mostly cause I thought of the idea that what if Watson, Jackie, and Grievous all lie to Ran, and while they are actually going on an adventure, they lie to him that his brother and his group isn't coming. Then when its much to late for Ran to back out, Watson just goes "Oh yeah! Your brother and his group are traveling with us. And you can't do anything about it." And Ran just sits there shocked. 
Ran and Ranbob are both subtle protective of their group. With Ranbob never really getting aggressive or going into overbearing. But for Ran, if someone in his group is injured badly enough or if there's a big enough threat he does get overbearing and extremely aggressive towards whatever/whoever the threat is *cough cough Ranbob cough*. Ranbob tends to be very physical, listening more to a certain instincts that tell him to constantly have a view on or hold his family, as if he doesnt see or touch them for a long time he gets very anxious and panicky, thinking his family is dead and that he's all alone again. His group understands this and so tends to not stray to far away from Ranbob. He will also follow his group like a lost puppy at times. Ran while listens more to the instinct that tells him at random times to make sure his family is ok and to bond with them. The bonding leads to him randomly grabbing them and just sitting down with them, most likely playing games. While the random urge to check on them has led to him waking them up during the middle of the night or interrupting his own conversation or others conversations just to ask if their ok. His took a while to understand why he does it, but now if he wakes them up or drags them somewhere, they know to go along with it and comfort him during those times. 
Hybrids are rare! Especially aggressive or netural type mobs like Ran, Ranbob, and Porkius are. Their actually seen as monsters and are chased out or hunted in other city's because people aren't accepting of them. Theres very few city's like Subbin that fully welcome and are even led by hybrids. So there are more hybrids in Subbin, than there is anywhere else. 
Sorry this is so long ':)
Asks are always welcome here, and don’t worry about taking a bit or anything. The questions aren’t going anywhere, there’s plenty of time. 
Here’s that for you,🌹anon.
--------------------
1: Wow, Ranbob’s really going through it, huh? Does he ever start to fall back on that need to be ‘perfect’ while with the others? If so, how do they deal with that? And how is he with others offering to help him? If he even can really recall falling under Dream’s thrall, by accepting such an offer, how does he react to others doing the same, even if their intentions are far different?
2: So we’ve settled all the ages down, nice. You figure out anything for their backstory yet? And how do their ages affect their relationships with one another? Does Benjamin take the lead a lot? Or is he more of a follower that still has a lot of say? Who met who first?
3: So Ran’s obviously going to be awhile before he believes what went down. Still, I can’t imagine he’d have been as willing to go along with his hauntings little roadtrip plan if he wasn’t swayed at least a bit, since I can’t imagine he wouldn’t have put his foot down if he truly though Ranbob had done what he did. Why exactly does he go along with it? Does some small part of him want to give his brother a chance? Is he just confident he can overpower him, and looking for an opportunity to settle the score? Does he see something that makes him hope a bit? What’s going down there, anon?
4: On one hand, very adorable. One the other hand, poor Watson. Does Jackie actually not know that stuff, or does he do that just to mess with his new father figure? It seems like they all take to it pretty well overall though.
5: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Two people to truly fear. How many people straight up forfeit when faced with this combination? It seems like they’ve had some interesting times, good and bad. How’d those play out? As for those last two, I’m sensing a bit of a backstory. Why does Grievous not like stuff being put into his food? And why’s Jackie not good with being left?
6: So it’s fifty/fifty, huh? Who wins the most at what games? And uh, Watson has to be present for Dart Throwing. What happened there? How’s everyone’s poker faces? Who’s got the best luck in games of chance?
7: A love/hate relationship with height. I feel ya, Jackie. Very funny to imagine though, Jackie just, physically climbing up Ran. How tall even is this guy?? How do they deal with meaner teasing, not just from the gladiators, but from general bullies? Not everybody’s as friendly as some of the Pit fighters, after all. And how do the fishermen react with their fighting skills? Obviously, they must know how to fight somewhat, to have entered the Pit, but the gladiators do this for a living. How much is the difference in skill level? And does the gang ever get to show off just how skilled they are? 
8: Their home sounds very nice, honestly, I wished I could live there, minus the people. What’s everyone’s rooms look like? How have they personalized them? Which brings up another question-what kind of interests and hobbies do they have? What kind of things do they do that aren’t fighting and related to such? And they must be pretty well known, to have such high pay. Any of them have an arena title, or some sort of stage name? How many people can recognize the city’s top gladiators on sight? And how do they get around that, when they don’t want to be seen? How do people feel about them in general?
9: All these team ups sound terrifying, and I wouldn’t want to be facing them. How do they deal with it when they get a bad match up? Do they just stay out of each other’s way? Try to take their opponents out quick? Make it one on one? Ran and Jackie have to be my favorite team up, solely for the fact that you’ve said Ran straight up throws him. Like?? Imagine coming to the King’s Pit, a well known, popular place, hoping to prove yourself, and then getting taking out by a flying midget, just tossed at you by a ridiculously tall endermen hybrid. How would you feel?? 
10: Ranbob is just really going through the ringer here. How many times does he just drop stuff, or trip over his feet? Does he ever get better, or does he still retain a clumsy streak? If so, how does Ran react to that? It’s very good he and Cletus bond! Are they just as close as the others, or is there still a bit of distance? How often does Ranbob forget to eat or drink, or really just take a break? How long does it take to get him to start remembering to do that stuff again? 
Does he ever slip up while with the gladiators? Also, in a room? Do the fisherman expand their house more, or do they just leave them in the house? Does Ranbob ever get his own house up? If so, does he use it at all, or is it more for storage? And how many times did he fall asleep out there, get injured, or not realize it was about to rain? How long did it take before Benjamin or Charles put their foot down and make him stay in for a bit?
Has Ranbob ever even dealt with rain before, or a storm above water? If not, how’d he react to it? 
11: Oh, boy, Ran. Your concerns are understandable, but definitely going to lead to some angst. Is he just on edge the whole time? How many times does he just glare at them, or straight up steal one of his haunting back a few feet away from Ranbob’s? Are the fishermen ever worried he might hurt them?
12: How do both hybrids deal with their groups bonding? I imagine Ranbob’s pretty happy with it, but how about Ran? As you said, he doesn’t seem to be the biggest fan of these guys. 
13: Roadtrip! Gotta love a roadtrip! What kind of places do they head? Any transportation, or is it just walking, enjoying nature? Do they go on an adventure to look for something cool? What’re they getting up to?
14: So Ran and Ranbob both act on their instincts in different ways. How do they feel about seeing how the other acts? What happens if any of the fishermen stray too far, or get separated from Ranbob? Same question to Ran. Ran just...like...picks up members of his haunting? Do people just see him walk around with them dangling in his arms? He must be pretty strong. How often does he do this? How else do their instincts lead to them acting? Cuddle piles, picking up blocks, keeping their groups close together, ect?
15: So Subbin’s pretty much a safe space for hybrids? Interesting. But since the groups are heading out, does this mean they run into some trouble outside of the city? And is there ever trouble within it? 
Other questions: Does Karl play any further part in this, or has he already played his role for good? Does the gang ever end up back at Mizu? Do any of the group have a pet or something similar? With there be any sort of connection to other Tales, even if only slightly, or will they be solely focused on these two? Does Ranbob pick up his studies of Ranboo as best he can once he’s free, or does he leave it all behind entirely?
Thanks for the ask, this AU’s become quite interesting. I can’t wait to see where it goes!

Never say Goodbye
Chapter 4
I knew I had to go back to my parents house, but I couldn't face everyone, and there was no way I was gonna let Joe and  his new girlfriend see me breaking down.
So I walked around a while. I needed to clear my head. I decided to go to our spot... except for the fact that it isn't our spot anymore since there  isn't an "us" or "our" anymore. I sat on a rock for a minute just thinking how something so perfect could go so wrong. All those love songs gave me such an unrealistic belief on love, it totally sucked in reality. 
"You still come out here?" I snap around seeing Joe 
"Y-yeah, it's quiet and good place to think"  I say jumping down from the rock 
"How's school?.. heard you got into a top one in Boston?" He says 
"Yea..it's going good" I say turning to walk away
"Y/n, stop let's talk for a minute...catch up" he says
"I can't..I really got to go early flight tomorrow" I say
"You're leaving already?" He asks
"Yea, bye Joe" I say
*6 months later* 
I was flying home, the first time I've been home since Thanksgiving. But I wasn't alone. I had started dating an amazing guy named Derek.  Derek was incredible, he was funny, smart, caring, I was head over heels for him and to be honest I haven't even thought about Joe in months.
My parents were having a huge memorial day cookout so I decided now was the perfect time to have them meet Derek. 
 We get to my parents house and I'm greeted by my sister and Josh. Josh and Derek hitting it off straight away.
" Now that you're here I can show you this." My sister smiles raising her left hand to my face flaunting a gorgeous diamond ring 
"Oh my God..no way... you're engaged!" I smiled"
"Yes"
As I hugged my sister I heard familiar voice that of Patricia
"Y/n, sweetheart it's so good to see you!' she smiles hugging me tight.
"I'm good. How are you?" I say
"Good, and who might this be?" She asks looking at Derek.
"This is my boyfriend Derek, Derek this is  my second mother Patricia.
"Nice to meet you Miss Patricia" he smiles, shaking her hand.
 We finally made it to the back yard and I introduced Derek to everyone. They all loved Derek, especially my father, which I think was because Derek was going to school for criminal justice..he wanted to work for the FBI.
I was in the pool with Derek and a few relatives and friends having a good time. I wrap my arms around Derek, when I hear his voice. Joe was here .
His eyes met mine as soon as he got into the backyard, my arms tightened around Derek, who now was the target of Joe's stare.
I tried to avoid Joe at all costs, until I couldn't I was in the kitchen grabbing drinks for Derek and I when he stopped me
"Hey, longtime no see" he smiles
"Hi" I say trying to get passed him
"What you got a new boyfriend and can't talk to me now" he says grabbing my arm
"Joe, Don't I'm happy. Finally. You moved on for fucks sake you're about to be a dad any day now….please just leave me be" I say.
Just as Joe let go of my arm Derek came in
"Everything okay?" He asked
"Yeah, just asked Joe to open the door " I smiled.
 Just as we were about to leave the kitchen Joe stops Derek
"Take care of her man, she's a good one"  he says
"I know, and believe me I will," Derek says shaking his hand.
*18months later* 
I wake up from an incredible Valentine's day with Derek, the sun shining through our bedroom window, I reach for my phone when I notice a ring on my finger not just any ring.. an engagement ring and oh my was it beautiful.
"Derek?,Derek what's going on?" I ask heading down to the kitchen where my boyfriend was making breakfast.
" I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But, if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much. I don't want to see you hurt anymore.  I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that's all you have to do and I'll take it from there. There's one condition. You have to be my wife."
I was speechless and sobbing. 
"Baby you have to give me an answer ….I'm dying here" he laughs
"Yes, yes Derek.. I'll be your wife! I smile kissing him
"And see? And that... that... That smile. Y/n, when you smile like that, my world... It's all right.I am in love with you." He smiles. I couldn't explain how happy I was but at the exact moment I told Derek I'd be his wife Joe's face popped into my head. 
*4months* 
Today was my and Derek's engagement party, my sisters and mom went all out as did Derek's mom and sisters. My mom had invited everyone we knew..which included almost all of Joe's family. Which was obvious being that Josh and my youngest sister Lyndsey were married now. 
Joe sat at a table with Josh and Jon having drinks. His eyes never left me once since the moment he arrived with Galina and their daughter.
"One more sister left, might wanna snatch her up bro!" Josh jokes with Jon "We always said we were gonna marry sisters" 
"Damn we sure did, didn't we" Jon laughs
" I just can't believe Y/n is marrying him" Joe says
"Well Derek's a really good dude, treats Y/n well and she's happy" Josh says
""Why you mad uce, you have a whole family" Jon laughs
"I just think she can do better" Joe shrugs
"And by better you mean you?" Josh asks
"Yeah, we were supposed to be together, this should be our party" he says 
"You had your chance uce, you fucked it up, deal with it" Josh says getting up
"Whose side are you on here?'' Joe asks
"Y/n's" Josh says walking away.
Derek was off talking to my dad which I loved, I loved their bond, I was sitting on the front porch swing when I hear a familiar voice
"I guess I should probably say Congratulations" He says
"Thank you" I smile 
"Y/n, are you sure you want to get married?"  Joe asks sitting beside me
"Yes" I say
"Look I still love you, I think I'll always love you, and I know you still love me, so if you're doing this just to get back at me for getting Galina pregnant, Y/n it's working. Seeing you with him drives me nuts" he says
"Joe, I love Derek, I'm not in love with you anymore, I'm happy and I'm getting married. Please just be happy for me" I say 
"Y/n, we belong together, you know that" he says 
"Joe, we don't. You have a family, a girlfriend, a baby girl and I have Derek. " I say getting up "I love him Joe, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him".
*2014* 
It's crazy how fast life passes. One day you're 21 planning your wedding and the next day it's 7 years later you're married and expecting your first child. So here I was sitting in my husband's office waiting for him to get back from talking to someone so I can tell him the news.
"There's my queen" Derek smiles entering the room greeting me with a kiss
"Hi,my love" I whisper back
"What brings you all the way down here, can't be missing me already I just left last night" he smiles joking about his long hours 
"One: I miss you as soon as you walk out our front door, and two: no I came down to tell you something important" I say 
"Important huh?, What's so important?" He asks, flashing me his perfect smile.
"I'm pregnant" I smile 
"No way, are you serious?" He asks jumping off the corner of his next bringing me into his arms
"Yeah" I say
"Baby, I'm so happy we wanted this for so long" he whispers into my hair as the door to his office opens his partner Kevin coming in
"You guys good? Everything okay?" He asks
"Yeah, I'm just gonna be a Dad" Derek smiles 
"For real? , Finally. I'm happy for you guys!,but unfortunately we got a case we need to get on" Kevin says
"Okay, baby I'll see you at home, go solve this case, be safe and come home to us" I say kissing him
"I will. I love you. Both of you" he smiles leaning down to kiss my stomach. 
As soon as I got home I called Lyndsey since we were the closest.
"Hey favorite sister" she answered
"Hi boo-boo, I have something to tell you" I say
"Oh no, I don't wanna know you're always giving me bad news" she laughs
"Oh you'll wanna hear this.. I swear" I smile
"Fine, hang on I'm gonna put you on speaker Josh is here we having a pool day" she says "okay go"
"Are you sitting down?" I ask
"Yes" Josh and her answer in unison
"I'm pregnant" I shriek
*On the other end* 
"I'm pregnant," Joe heard through the phone as he walked into Josh's backyard with Jojo and Galina. He felt his heart drop, he immediately felt sick dropping Galina's hand which he was holding and turning around leaving.

I'm Not a Bad Person- Chapter 6
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: Troy Otto does have feelings you know. He's in the process of figuring them out; especially when it comes to his childhood friend, Jaymie. Whatever they are, they're rooted deep, and they're growing.
WARNINGS: Language, Warped thoughts, Violence.
WORD COUNT: Fuck if I know.
PAIRING: Troy Otto x OFC
AUTHOR'S NOTE: My plan is to follow along with the events of season 3, but with my OFC involved. I'll veer off plenty of times and probably switch shit up completely. Not sure yet. We'll be exploring different characters' perspectives throughout the series. I'm not great at this writing thing but I try my best. Hope you like it enough. All characters except my OFC don't belong to me.
*******
Chapter 6
(Jaymie's POV)
The next day, a memorial service was held to honor Charlene- Jeremiah's goddaughter. She was the pilot of the helicopter that Jake, Alicia, Luciana, and Travis were on. She survived the crash, but the dead got her on the way back to the ranch.
To be honest, I didn't like Charlie. She was such a bitch to me. It was because her dad had an affair with my mom, and her parents split up. So she took her anger out on me.
One particular day she was talking shit; telling our mutuals I'd end up a whore just like my mother. That was stupid of her, mostly because Troy happened to be walking by. He turned and made a beeline straight to Charlene and decked her; no questions asked. I laughed my ass off when I found out. Wish I could have seen it first hand.
Naturally, Troy got in sooo much trouble. Mainly because he hit a girl. Pretty hypocritical of Jeremiah, but he was a "Do as I say, not as I do," type of parent. So, Troy was grounded for a month. That didn't stop me from sneaking in to the Otto's house every single night though. I'd take him desert and we'd stay up till 3 or 4 in the morning playing cards and board games.
Anyway, after Charlie's service, it was lunch time. I worked the line with my friend Gretchen, scooping globs of mac and cheese onto everyones' trays. Madison and Alicia were approaching, and I heard a community resident giving them a hard time. I felt bad for them, until Alicia said that people should be harassing Troy instead of them. Madison responded, 'I think they would be if they knew what he had done.' I know what Troy did was fucked up. That won't stop me from defending him though. Nothing will. I guess that makes me fucked up too; and I'm fine with that.
Both Madison and Alicia stopped abruptly, making eye contact with me. They realized I was serving, and that I most likely heard what they said. I tried not to let it show that it bothered me, but I know my eyes looked sad.
Gretchen broke the awkward silence with her subtle humor and kind words. Then she invited Alicia to attend one of her "Bible studies" (which was actually just a handful of our friends getting together to drink and smoke pot). There was no hiding Alicia's reluctance, but Madison practically made the decision for her to go. I'm grateful for it, because I need to figure Alicia out. Is she trustworthy? Could I see myself becoming friends with her?
***
About 2 hours later...
(Jake's POV)
How am I going to convince Troy that he needs to stay away from the Clarks? Ever since T.E. began he's been harder to control. I need Jaymie's help on this. She's the only person who has more influence on him than I do.
I find the two of them working together on mending one of the crops' fences. Both their faces are plastered with smiles. They kneel, preparing to wrap extra barbed wire around the bottom of a post. I can't make out what they're saying, but Jaymie throws her head back with a vivacious laugh. She nudges Troy with her shoulder, and he retaliates with a playful shove, causing her to topple over. She counterattacks by throwing a handful of dirt at him. They're honestly adorable.
It's a heartwarming sight to watch my brother in normal-human-being mode; and genuinely happy. Jaymie's good for him. Except on occasion she tends to enable his psychotic side. Though I'll admit that many times his semi-sociopathic behavior has been in her defense. He saw nothing wrong with it when he ki- ...never mind. I don't want to think about that. Anyway, the pros still outweigh the cons by a long shot, and they really are a good match. I kind of thought they'd have gotten together by now.
Troy offers Jaymie a hand and pulls her back to a kneeling position. She tries to wipe the dirt off that she threw at him, but she's actually making it worse since her hands are covered in soil. They're still laughing when I reach them.
Troy notices my presence and his smile falters slightly. "The boar's back. Keeps digging up the fence posts to get to the cabbage. Could use an extra pair of hands tracking it tonight."
May as well cut to the chase. "Stay away from Madison and her family."
"They're my friends."
"They came here under my invite. They trust me."
"They came here not to get eaten. I wouldn't flatter yourself."
Jaymie snickers at Troy's response, then looks at me with a grin she tries to suppress.
"Yeah, but they're staying cause I said I'd protect them- from you.
"And how are you going to do that?"
I knew this would be difficult. "Please don't do this, Troy. Please. I'm the one who still believes in you."
"Well I don't need you to anymore."
"Yeah, you do. If the ranch knew what you really are-"
"And what am I Jake?"
I look to Jaymie for an assist, but she's clearly upset with me. She stands and stalks toward me, grabbing my arm to pull me away from the scene. "What the hell would you say that for?!" She scolds me quietly.
"You know he broke in to Madison's cabin and threatened Nick?"
"And you're dumb enough to believe she's not over exaggerating?"
"Do you have any idea what he was doing at the depot? Do you?" Her expression is unreadable. "He was murdering people, Jaymie; timing how long it took them to change."
She sighs. "Yeah, yeah I know."
"Then why are you standing here upset with me?" I don't understand. She's acting like it was no big deal.
There's venom in her response. "Because of what you said to him back there, about what he is. You act like he's some kind of monster, Jake. He's your brother! Why would you say that?!"
I cannot believe what I'm hearing right now. So much for getting Jaymie on my side. I walk passed her and reapproach Troy. "Do you really think you were helping those people out at the depot?"
"I think I was helping all of us."
Alright. This is going nowhere. Let's try a different angle: "Troy, when Dad's gone, this is all on us. We have to take care of this place. We have to lead."
"Together." His tone sounds incredulous.
"Yeah. But I need you to do something for me. I need you to stay away from the Clarks. Do you hear me?"
"Yep. I hear you."
"Do you mean it?"
"I always mean it, Jake."
There's nothing more I can say. I turn to leave, and as I pass Jaymie, I beg her in a commanding tone, "Please help me with this. I need you on my side. Troy needs you on my side. He just doesn't realize it." She narrows her eyes at me with annoyed inquisitivity. "Just, think about it, alright?"
***
(Troy's POV)
Jaymie's so pissed off at Jake. She's always got my back. It doesn't matter who it is or what it's about. I know she doesn't agree with everything I've done. She does try and steer me in a different direction sometimes. I don't listen to her as much as I probably should, but whatever I end up doing, she never ever judges me. She's the only one. God, I love that girl... Wait, what?
"You alright?"
"Huh?" I didn't even notice she was by my side again.
"Forget what Jake said."
"Wasn't even thinking about it."
"Good." She gets back to helping me with the barbed wires, in silence, until, "Maybe we should both avoid Nick and Madison. Just for now?"
"Nah, I'm gonna have Nick help out with the boar tonight." I feel her looking at me. "It'll be fine, Jayms."
She considers my words for a moment then nods. "Alright. Well, I gotta get ready for Gretchen's Bible study. I'm gonna try and get to know Alicia; see what I think of her."
I give her a half-hearted smirk. "Have fun with that." I'm just bummed out she's leaving.
"I'll see you later?"
"Yeah. Later, Jayms." I watch her walk away, lost in the thought I had just a minute ago.

marcoace i can't believe you've had a secret dog all this time
Ace takes a deep breath as he parks his rental, checking the GPS one more time before shutting it down. His heart was pounding, had been since Marco had come through with the offer from WhiteBeard INC, asking for Ace specifically, Ace tried not to remember the hours that had gone into negotiations because Marco was Ace’s boyfriend and there were rules about this sort of thing. But he was here, for the next two months at least.
“You gonna come out the car,” Marco asks startling Ace. “I want to take you out to dinner and I can’t do that if you want to stay in there.”
“Dinner huh? Got somewhere in mind?” Ace asks leaning against the door, arms crossed on the edge of it where the window closed. “Or do you cook now?”
Marco laughs, “I’m pretty sure that I’m never cooking for you after last time,” Ace can still remember that twenty four hours that he spent throwing up between pictures on set in Germany. “But I do know a couple of decent places or we can go my brother. He’s boyfriend cooks well.”
“Does he own a restaurant?” Ace asks curiously.
“No kill shelter,” Marco answers. “And I don’t get delivery here, because apparently this is the address that kids use to send false deliveries. Since I’m not home as often as I would like.”
Ace hums, “Maybe pick up something and come back here? I don’t want to deal with more people after that flight. Twenty hours is a long way to go for dinner, Marco.”
“Then scoot over, I’ll drive us to pick something. Got a preference?” Marco asks opening the door to the car, Ace pretends to miss the chuckle as he scrambled over drive shaft. “Other that a lot?”
“You know me so well,” Ace says teasing. “I like Chinese?”
“And you’re in luck,” Marco says turning the car back on and raising an eyebrow at the way the dash board lit up. “We got a new Chinese place. We didn’t have one three months ago.”
“You live in the middle of no-where, you know that don’t you?”
“I like it. It’s a bit harder when I have to do jobs, but I have a contract with WhiteBeard and they’re willing to give me space when I have to do things.”
Ace hums, everyone and their mother knew that Marco had landed WhiteBeard years ago when the country had been much smaller. Not that anyone knew how Marco had landed it.
“Two whole months for a shoot?” Ace asks finally.
Marco blinks slowly, “Jesus is that what they’re paying you for?” Ace is worried for something. “Jozu said he wanted to meet you, but I didn’t think he would go that far.”
“Jozu? As in Jozu Newgate? The head of WhiteBeard? You know him that well?”
“He’s my brother. I thought the last name gave it away.”
“So it was nepotism.”
Marco laughs, “Dad did it, but I do have talent and I haven’t given them any reason to fire me. Jozu’s been asking about you for a while, I wasn’t sure what you wanted me to tell people.”
“You’re stupid, get me food and then we’ll talk.”
Marco nods seriously, pulling into the parking lot, “I’ll be back, don’t cause any trouble.”
Ace rolls his eyes, texting Sabo and Luffy to let them know that he had arrived safely and pausing, thumb hovering over his mom’s number. She wouldn’t mind if he called, before locking his screen and leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes. He only blinks himself back when the door opens and Marco shoves two bags of food into his arms.
“Sorry, did I wake you?”
“Nah, was waiting for you,” Ace yawns. “Think I might eat and then go to bed however.”
Marco nods, already starting the car back up and heading back to his house, “Just the bag in the back seat?”
“Thought I could buy some more stuff while I was here instead of having to pack.”
“That’s always what you do,” Marco states pulling into his driveway, Ace can’t believe how much faster that felt. “One day, you’re going to go somewhere where you can’t buy things.”
“I would never,” Ace grins. “Grab the bag? I have all the food.”
Marco says, already reaching for it, but pretending to be put upon, “I’m doing it. Come on, I’ve set up a room for you.”
“Not your room?” Ace pouts kicking his door closed and following Marco to the front door.
“Well I didn’t want to presume,” Marco says unlocking the door, something rushing out to bounce around Ace’s feet. “Merry, no.”
“You have a dog?”
“Did you, did you not know?”
Ace shakes his head staring at the tiny Collie, “I’ve known you for three years and been dating you for one, and you didn’t tell me you had a dog? What the hell Marco?”
“Merry’s only been here for the last six months, I was too weak to leave him behind after all his siblings were adopted.”
“I’m not talking to you, you have disappointed both of us,” Ace states barely able to gesture between himself and Merry. “How dare you not tell me about Merry. I show you pictures of Kotatsu all the time.”
“I was sure I mentioned it,” Marco says letting Ace pass him into the house, Merry on his heels. “I know I did.”
Ace sets both bags on the counter, bending down and picking up Merry the second his hands were free, “We,” he frowns at Marco. “Are disappointed.”
“Ace, I thought you knew. I’m sure I told you,” Marco sighs and Ace grins in victory. “You’re never going to let this go, are you?”
“Never.”

hello there!! I just read the angst scenario of Dabi's being a father and trying to convince her to e with them?? could I ask for a part 2?!?! Please? ; u ; Happy end? Him trying once again to convince her, swearing he will do his best to be with them and be a proper father? He wants to try again brcause he still loves her and can't forget his child. Thank you have a nice day :)
Of course! I’m actually glad you requested this because I wantedthere to be a part 2. This is also where I wanted it to go, so cool! Hope you like it ^^
If you haven’t read the first part, here it is:
 https://scum-villainy-and-proheroes.tumblr.com/post/167684073748/hello-may-i-interest-you-in-some-dabi-angst
Since Dabi saw you for the first time in all those years, it waslike he was hit by a truck of reality. You are still alive and, hopefully, well. You arethe mother of his child. You are the woman that he still loves. 
As much as he’d tried to forget you, done all he could to act asthough you weren’t the most important thing in his life, he couldn’t. No amountof crime and infamy could bring him to forget.
Now that he’d come so close to having you again, only to let youfall from his fingertips, Dabi made a promise to himself.
He’s getting you back. He’ll be a father to his son, a better fatherthan the one he’s had.
Dabi looks down at the one photo he still kept of you, one thathe took on his phone, laughing on his couch. You were so unsuspecting and sofree �� so beautiful. God he misses you.
 It’s just his luck that you live in the same apartment you did whenyou were a couple – this way he didn’t have to go on a city-wide search to findyou. He would have, though, if he had to. He knocks at your front door, yourson’s toy in his hand since he had left it on the sidewalk.
Under the ruse of simply returning the toy, Dabi hopes to beable to ease back into your life and heart.
When you open up the door and come face-to-face with Dabi’sscarred but no less perfect features, your eyes widen. “What are you doinghere?”
“(Y/N), I want you to listen.” He says. Your defense is put up,and Dabi knows he’ll have to break past this invisible wall of yours. “I didn’tknow you were pregnant. How could I have since you never told me? If I hadknown, I would have stayed.”
“Yeah right! We both know you would have le-“
“I would have stayed! You know exactly why.” He can see youreyes squint as if trying to hold back tears. That doesn’t work very well sincethey start to glisten and shimmer.
“Don’t say it…”
“I love you, (Y/N).” Dabi puts his hand out at lightning-fastspeed the moment he sees you attempt to close the door on him.
The fact of the matter is, you aren’t trying to be mean orcold-hearted. It was him who had hurtyou so much before and you just can’tlet him hurt you again. This time it won’t be you left in his destructive wake.
But hearing him say those words spurs something inside of you. Theyreally make you want to believe that he’s telling the truth.
“Mom?”
You turn around, seeing your son carefully approaching. When Shoumasees Dabi, he smiles.
“Shouma,” you sigh. The boy stands beside you, clearly curiousabout the situation. You’re quiet for a moment as Dabi stares down at Shouma inwonder. “…I have something to tell you, okay? It’s important. Very serious.”You bend down to his height, placing your hands onto his shoulders and lookinginto his clear blue eyes – the same as his father. “This… is your father. He isyour father. When I told you no that other time, I lied to you and I’m verysorry about that.” You stroke your hand over your son’s dark bangs, seeing yourwords process on his expression.
Dabi grips the toy in his hands tighter in anticipation. Then, Shoumaturns his wide-eyed gaze up toward him. He isn’t quite sure how to be warm orwelcoming or loving but he tries. Dabi crouches down and smiles, not the usualcocky smile, but a genuine one. “Hey there, Shouma.”
Your son doesn’t seem to care about your lie. Instead, he’sgrinning ear-to-ear. “You’re my dad?”
Dabi nods his head.
“I knew it! Mama said once before that I look just like daddy!”
You purse your lips, looking away from Dabi. You slowly stand upto your feet, brushing off your lap.
“Shouma, why don’t you go show your father around?” The smallboy eagerly nods his head, reaching forward to take Dabi’s much larger, muchmore scarred hand in his own. Somehow, Dabi’s appearance doesn’t bother orscare his son.
“I’ve got all these cool toys! My room is purple, it has a lot ofpurple in it! And there’s a fish!” Shouma tugs Dabi into your apartment, andyou know that the moment Dabi’s foot sets foot inside, there’s no going back.You’re welcoming him back into your home, into your life, and into your heart.
As he passes by you, he looks into your eyes. There’s somethingin them, though you can’t tell what. Perhaps love.
  Threemonths later…
 “I think he’s probably awake by now.” You whisper.
“Oh, is he? He knows how to make cereal on his own, doesn’t he?”Dabi whispers back.
“I do not trust him alone with a jug of milk. Or cereal, forthat matter.”
“Sometimes you have to let kids learn on their own.”
“Is that how you learned how to hotwire cars? On your own?”
Dabi’s grin widens, and he responds to your teasing by ticklingyour waist and burying his face into your neck, kissing it.
“Ahaha! Shh! Don’t make me laugh – s-stop – stop it!” Yourgiggling is only interrupted by Dabi pressing his lips to yours. Your brightsmile, the one he missed so much, is suppressed but not removed as you kiss himback.
When you pull away, you’re once again looking into Dabi’s eyes.You missed this and so did he. Laying in bed together, teasing each other.
Your rest the back of your hand against the pillow between yourheads and he lays his over yours. Your fingers then lace together.
“I really should make him breakfast…” You eventually say.
Dabi sighs, waving his free hand at you. “Yeah, go ahead. I’llbe out in a bit.”
You smile, pecking his lips one more time before sliding out ofbed. He watches your naked form, just as beautiful as the last time he madelove to it, as you stroll across the room. You change into an extra larget-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.
After you’ve left, Dabi remains in bed for just a little whilelonger.
“Daddy spent the night in your room again?” Shouma asks you fromthe dining table the moment you enter the room.
“HUH?” You immediately pause, eyes wide.
“I heard you laughing when he sneaked in last night. Actually, Ihear it every time he stays over. And he always walks in a minute after you do…”
Perhaps you need to give your son more credit – he certainlycatches onto things quickly.
You blush, embarrassed that your antics had been found out. Youdidn’t want Shouma to know that you and Dabi have already grown so close again.Not yet.
“…Just eat your cereal, Shouma.” You say after pouring hiscereal and milk into a bowl together, placing it down onto the table. Afterward,you lift your hand to your neck, suddenly feeling insecure about mysterious purple marks.
