Maitle: oh hey someone from the Highschool
Maitle: anyone there vagiley phantom sized?
Crabapples: oh great teenagers
Lilybily: what? Why the highschool?

Kwanbomb: holy shit I go to school with phantom
Kwanbomb: I’m going to doe
Kwanbomb: @Footballking
Spits on outsiders: well damn

Momosquad: but realistically, he’s probably ot one of the popular kids, you realize that right?
ItsBrittneyBitch: why not? Phantoms a cutie and like super fit
Crabapples: of course not he’s a freaky annoying ghost. Ghosts aren’t cool
Kwanbomb: definitely on a team
Kwanbomb: ghosts are SUPER COOL SHIT UP OLDFART
Mistlehoe: I’m siding with momo here. Why would he be in sports on top of fighting ghosts?
Momosquard: @Crabapples phantom is likely in this chat as his human self be nice and please refrain from picking fights with teenagers
Maitle: oh yeah that’d be exhausting
Maitle: and since he’s human ish he must need sleep and shit
Lilybily: oh no I wonder if he eats enough
Remi: if he doesnt were absolutely starting a food druve for him
Momosquad: that sounds like a great idea actually
Kwanbomb: the nasty burger lets him eat free actually
Remi: wait you guys knew he ate food?
Kwanbomb: yeah? Didn’t seem that weird
Maitle: ya’ll are dumbasses
PDAxpda: 😱
Footballking: geek loser
Footballking: you better tell us if any of your weird loser geek nerd friends are ripped

Maitle: oh dont be a spoilsport
Momosquad: realistically if he did know why would he tell anyone?
Momosquad: why would anyone?
Kwanbomb: everyone would love him though!
Kwanbomb: hed be the most popular guy at school!
Remi: I’ve literally seen videos of phantom trying to avoid the school fan girls
Remi: people not knowing who he is the only thing keeping your crazy girls from mobbing him all day
Crabapples: it is disturbing any of you drool over a dead guy…
PDAxpda: @thealiveone
Maitle: …
Maitle: why are you ating the fenton kid

Lilybily: wait
Lilybily: does that mean fentons know
PDAxpda: 😑
thealiveone: are you stupid?
thealiveone: like seriosuly?
Spits on outsiders: pretty sure they would have hunted him down and tied him up and taken him away by now if they did
thealiveone: they have MANY notebooks detialing exactly what theyd like to do to him
Momosquad: thats unpleasant and concerning
thealiveone: NO SHIT
Maitle: so what I’m hearing is no one tells the fentons cool
Remi: no objections here
Crabapples: I may not like the creature but I’m not reporting anyone to them
Lilybily: please say hes not wes

Momosquad: you kids should be getting in trouble for that
Footballking: piss off
Mistlehoe: hey now
Crabapples: ah boys will be boys. Glad to see that much hasn’t changed
Maitle: the fenton adults aren’t even in this chat right?
Momosquad: after jack attempted to repeatedly take over the voice chat with ghost lessons they were removed
Maitle: cool cool
Remi: so if anyone shows this chat to them they get a public beating
PDAxpda: Shade will take the lead
Lilybily: that’s like a legit threat actually

Books-on-a-lance: as I can attest to
Books-on-a-lance: and as I understand much better now
Maitle: so he just constantly sleept in class and no one relaised that was weird?
thealiveone: no one expects a dead guy to be an alvie guy
Books-on-a-lance: he’s not the only one who sleeps in class, merely the one who does it the most
Mistlehoe: …and how much is that?
Books-on-a-lance: I see now that perhaps it should have been more concerning

Summary: Your typical boy-meets-boy-in-an-anonymous-internet-chatroom-and-doesn't-realize-it's-Victor-Fucking-Nikiforov-for-literal-years story.
The format is based on phlintandsteel's fabulous sweetsilversub, only mine is about mental illness and not loving, consensual, healthy BDSM because I am a cheerful motherfucker and she already did it the best anyway.
Please read the tags and mind your triggers. Shit goes pear-shaped in Chapter 4 8.
School projects lead to destruction of government property and apparently making a man’s career. That’s totally normal right? And totally not Mr. Lancer’s fault right? (Hint: it’s not and it is).
Anyway, the weirdo trio and the A-listers have to do a project together, things, somehow, devolve from there into what definitely qualifies as crimes. All for the sake of an easy(ish) A and maybe some extra credit if they ask nicely.

Shade - Sam

Danny rubs his forehead with feeling, his fingers making little wrinkles in the skin, “okay okay, this is absolute ass but if I fail this class then I really will be cooked, in the bad way”.
Tucker pointing lazily at him, “not literally though”. Making Danny snort, “if a goddamn media communication project or class somehow results in me being literally cooked then I’d have some concerning, though impressed, questions”.
“True dat, true dat”.
Danny makes a disgusted face at the techno geek before shaking his head, glaring down at his phone, groaning loudly, and finally hitting ‘join’ on the chat invitation.
—thealiveone has joined the chat—
Footballking: oh look what loser decided to show up and squat up
Footballking: bitch
thealiveone: I ain’t squatting shit
thealiveone: unless that squat is actually a tbag on your face
Footballking: as if you could ever you noodle limbed twink
thealiveone: I will kill you and cannibalism your ghost
Phantomsphine: as much as I love taking cheapshots on the, like, lower class
Phantomsphine: this is, like, mildlyish important
Phantomsphine: not like any of this is any use of my time
thealiveone: fuckstick you think this is wroth my time either?
thealiveone: I could be sleeping
thealiveone: or eating shoes
thealiveone: or making out woth a ten foot wall
thealiveone: or being chokedout
Phantomsphine: oh shut up and let the proper people speak
thealiveone: fuck you in particular and with extra mayo
Starfire: ew
Starfire: paulies right though
Starfire: we should at least kinda try
Danny blinks, “holy shit, fuck me in the eye with a Kayak, it sounds like they might actually try and not utterly tank this”. Tucker whistling, “damn Daniel”. Danny immediately smacks him over the head for that hard enough to smack Tucker’s head into his pda. Tucker crying and caressing the device, “SANDRA! NO!”.
Kwanbomb: offences or not Fenton’s the one to worry about there
thealiveone: hey
thealiveone: offence not taken because fair
thealiveone: But I need to pass this crap too dick
Shade: he cares
Shade: it’s a miracle

Shade: I don’t think Vlad qualifies as a crunch mom Danny
Shade: he drinks way too much for that
thealiveone: I try
Footballking: if I was related to you I’d drink cry too turd
Footballking: but sure whatever
Footballking: a chance to mock someone other than fentoenail
Danny smirking, “I have succeeded in acquiring Vlad bullying conspirators”. Tucker just glares at him, clearly still pissed at him for maybe denting his precious pda.
Kwanbomb: on what though
Kwanbomb: him having to release public paper things about that time he tried to control weather god?
Kwanbomb: or the one about him mowing down trees?
Kwanbomb: or that sorry letter to support nasty burger?
Phantomsphine: hes made tons on Phantom right

Shade: vlads gonna beat you if you try to actually convince people of that
PDAxpda: yes Danny play with fire
PDAxpda: harpy fucker
thealiveone: 😧
Footballking: what the zone is techno geek doing here ew
Danny shakes his head, eyeing Tuck, “really?”. Tucker flips him off of course. Sure he ‘knows’ that Tuck’s not in this class with him, since Tuck was actually good and cared when it came to the whole school bullshit; but, heh, Tuck hated being left out.
Phantomsphine: ew ew ew ew ew ew
Footballking: and like the technophile has any place to speak
thealiveone: that’s a real big word there dashi
Starfire: and wait what thw heck do you mean VOTER MIND CONTROL

PDAxpda: I’m not doing your work for you
Danny shoves Tuck one for that, Tucker chuckling and standing up, “and on that note of physical violence, I am going home. My mom’s making the thick lasagna with prosciutto and I am not missing that sweet sweet dreaminess”.
“You better save me some or I’ll find a way to contaminate your left overs”.
“Le gasp! How could you!”, Tuck putting a hand to his chest dramatically before smirking, “obviously I will, man”. Danny just rolling his eyes and waving his friend bye.
Starfire: so everyone knows how manpilative our mayor is right?
Starfire: cause uh
Starfire: damn
Starfire: who wants to make the G.I.W. regret existing
Footballking: nice

Phantomsphine: why couldn’t we by maybe helping a hot guy
Footballking: or hot girl
Phantomsphine: 😠
Kwanbomb: dude, do you never learn?
Footballking: ah shit
thealiveone: OH MY GOD WHATTHEACTUCALEVERLOVINGFUCKMANANCIENTSFUCKINGSWEETDICKWHATTHEHELLZOJWHQYISTHISMYLIFESOMEONEPLEASEKILLMEJDGIWKFBFJHELLNONCHSJMIAMGOONAAKILLTHEM
Shade: I don’t even have words
Starfire: ?
Danny throws his hands up, his phone getting violently tossed onto his bed, “what the fuck Vlad!”, gesturing both hands out ridiculously, “what the fuck ClockWork!”. Moving to pace in a little circle, okay so… obviously ClockWork must have planned this? Right? Right. Be pretty insane if they were doing this for the kicks and lols. Actually scratch that, they might actually be doing this for funzies, they get bored a lot; not that Danny blames them. But should Danny actually just go along with this and basically doxx a bunch of government agents in the school paper and then double down and do it again in a random class project?
…
It would be pretty funny.
And an excuse to sic Tuck on them again.
Danny jumping a little from a louder ping from his phone.
PDAxpda: @thealiveone DANNY PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DAMN PHONE
PDAxpda: guys GUYS
PDAxpda: do you think Vlad knows?
thealiveone: I… don’t think? So?
Oh if Vlad did and waited till now to mention it then he’s an idiot.
Starfire:… why?
thealiveone: that’s it I’m phone the frootloop
Shade: oh we’re not explaining shit
Danny punches his speed dial for Vlad a bit aggressively.
“Now what can I do for you, my dear boy?”
Danny glares at the air, “how long have you just been sitting on this shit?”.
“Long enough, I suppose. Blackmail is best sat on, Daniel”.
Danny pinches the bridge of his nose, that idiot cheesehead, “do you even know what ghost they captured, you fucking psycho? That’s an Ancient”.
“Oh butter biscuits”.
Making Danny snort, “yeah that’s what I thought, you are the cause of ninety percent of your own problems and you won’t get help for a single damn one”.
“How was I supposed to know, Daniel. You’re the one with those kinds of connections”.
“Fuck you and your backhanded compliments”, Danny rolls his eyes, “anyway, thanks, or not, for turning my school project into a doxxing side quest. This is so going in the school paper and the town paper is more than welcome to quote it”, chuckling, “make Lance Thunder work for that pay raise”.
“A surprisingly cruel suggestion”.
“Oh shut up”, Danny hangs up on him immediately.
thealiveone: so
thealiveone: the answer
thealiveone: is Vlad’s a dumbass
PDAxpda: oh you’ve got to be kodding me
Shade: 💀💀💀
Shade: this is great
Footballking: YOU FREAKS GONNA EXPLAIN
Kwanbomb: ✋🏽I am curious too
thealiveone: so

Phantomsphine: is he like
Phantomsphine: wait how do you even know that
Shade: yeah Danny
Shade: how do you know
PDAxpda: shoudl you tell them or should i
Shade: no no let the boy speak for himself
Starfire: GUYS!
thealiveone: oaky okay
thealiveone: so there was this time right
thealiveone: that I may have deleted my self out of exostence and time god had to fix my fuck up because it broke the future and my dad became a ghost and my mom was Vlad live in wife appliance and the ghost problem was in wisconson instead but phantom and red apparently only give a ratsass about amity so the ghost problems were like capital P problems
Kwanbomb: zone damn man
Starfire: how are you like this?
Kwanbomb: you must have pissed off god when you were born
Shade: oh he definitely did
thealiveone: it’s true it’s trie
Phantomsphine: so they capture time god? HOW
thealiveone: from what I know of them they get bored
thealiveone: very often
Shade: yeah remember that time they caused the apocalypse just to be a silly guy
thealiveone: that was some traumatic bullshit that I don’t know WHY I HAD TO BE INVOVLEDNDIIEM XIMAIDNN HIS F
Danny winces and rubs his head, “ow you jerk!”. He’s not even going to question how ClockWork can smack him while actively being in G.I.W. custody.
Shade: HA
Starfire: you might actually be hated by god wow
Starfire: anyway
Starfire: are we doing this?
Footballking: 🙄 obviosuly
thealiveone: hang on just let me put on my Razer Skibidi™ to translate how dumb this is

Phantomsphine: there is so much wrong with yoy
Shade: I hate that I agree with you of all people on anything
Shade: and I side with anarchy
Phantomsphine: of course you do
Shade: 🔪
Kwanbomb: before Manson kills someone, maybe we should actually write and cite this thing?
Starfire: I’ll handle citation
Phantomsphine: I maybe be the one with an eye for detail but I’ll pass on citing that nightmare
thealiveone: then you can deal with the grammar and spell check shit
Shade: yeah do not let Danny do that
Kwanbomb: I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t know Fenton writes like a monkey half the time
thealiveone: HEU
PDAxpda: case and point
thealiveone: 🖕🏻
thealiveone: anyway tuck can do the hacking for further needed citation
PDAxpda: I’m not even part of this project
thealiveone: the teachers have always told me to use all my respurces so dance for me
PDAxpda: I would object but I’m a whore for appreciation
thealiveone: yeah you’re daddy’s girl
Starfire:…
Phantomsphine: 🫠
PDAxpda: okay now I’m gonna kill you too
thealiveone: 😔
thealiveone: why is everyobody so mean to me
Shade: SHUT UP DANNY
Shade: me and Kwan should do most of the wording, ethics and shit
Shade: since he’s the only one of you populars that actually has a heart or caring bone in their body
Kwanbomb: I am not repsinding to that
Footballking: the goth freak complmented you
Footballking: gonna have to wash off the freak vibes
thealiveone: dude how many women do you plan to piss off today
Shade: ha ha your corpse will make for great fertalizer

Starfire: sigh I’ll get to work jotting things down from the link
Footballking: AM I JUST SUPOOSED TO STAND HERE TILL SCHOOL OPENS AND YOU DICKS HAVE SOMETHING
Shade: you’re not standing
Shade: you’re hiding
Shade: from me
Shade: which you will keep doing
Shade: or I’ll give Danny ghost nip and sicc him on yoy
Footballking: I’m good right here fuck that
thealiveone: I’m not against getting high
Starfire: no!
Phantomsphine: NO
Kwanbomb: no
Footballking: DONT YOU DARE FENTON
thealiveone: awwww 😞
PDAxpda: haha no man no
thealiveone: I’m surrounded by D.A.R.E graduates
thealiveone: weaklings
Shade: fucking really Danny?
Danny chuckles to himself before sticking his phone in his pocket. This? Yeah this was gonna be fun.
Danny cracks his knuckles, looking at the highlighted targets Tuck had sent him to hit. He honestly feels slightly like a hitman right now. Even more so because he is currently staring at a G.I.W. compound with sirens and lights flashing like a bombing is about to happen.
…
Or more like a prison break has happened.
thealiveone: operation Dr Thunder Thighs is a go
Starfire: I hate you
Danny snickers to himself before duck-running rapidly towards the compound; going invisible wasn’t exactly an option since that amount of ecto-energy would likely get his ass detected almost immediately.
“WARNING! WARNING! PROJECTS G572SIMPA ARE LOOSE!”.
Danny glances up at a red blaring alarm and snickers, everyone always got a kick outta how the G.I.W. had a warning code and protocol for Tucker specifically; granted they really really needed it even if it didn’t help much.
“WARNING! WARNING! ALL YOUR ASSES ARE GRASS AND I’M GONNA MOW EM’!”.
Ah classic Tuck, classic Tuck.
Anyway, office-like rooms here he comes.
The first one he finds is just filled with staplers and cleaning supplies, lots of cleaning supplies. He is not surprised, annoyed, but not surprised. But hey! At least the second room has filing cabinets! Never thought he’d be so happy to find those. He’s ruffling through them in record time and intangibly stuffing them into his torso; short little bursts of a tiny amount of energy should, reasonably, be fine enough.
Of course the second he’s done and feeling like he’s on a roll, he opens a door to multiple agents. Blinking as they stare at him for a beat before, “it’s the Fenton boy! Get him!”.
“You’re under arrest for aiding and abetting the release of government property! And for aiding and abetting a ghost!”.
“On the ground! It’s fully sanitized so do not worry about that!”.
“Obey our orders and we won’t press charges!”.
“You couldn’t make your darn breakins more cleanly and gentle for a change!”.
Danny blinks and shouts, “the dildo of consequences never arrives lubed!“, and just fucking books it; smashing a window as he goes just to be a pain in their collective asses.
“WARNING! WARNING! HARASSING A FENTON ONLY INFLICTS SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS!”.
Danny laughing, “hurt yourselves in your confusion!”, and nearly falling on his ass as he tries to turn sharply and skid into a random room as his ghost sense goes off. Danny waving wildly, “Clocky! What’s up buddy!”.
ClockWork stretching out lazily, the anti-ecto cuffs seemingly being deconstructed back to their original materials, “hello, Daniel. I was enjoying my vacation”, telekinetically moving their staff over into their hands and beginning to clean it gently, “though I am not about to claim to be unused to your interruptions”.
“Clocky, why are you like this?”. ClockWork age shifts into their toddler form and moves to sit on Danny’s shoulder, “they bring the fuck around, I bring the find out”. Making Danny shake his head, amused, yeah ClockWork did just let people -usually Danny- ‘find out’ the very very hard way.
“HALT!”.
“Cease this opposition immediately!”.
“Release our property!”.
Danny whips around to the doorway, flips them off, “sucks to suck! Cuckfucks!”.
ClockWork smirking, “I rather think I will do no such thing. You hardly qualified as entertaining beforehand”.
They, of course, start firing more aggressively at him/them, but he just hops around avoiding it, G.I.W. aim wasn’t exactly… good. Especially with their speakers now blasting vocaloid curtesy of Tuck.
Danny running off and laughing wildly as random parts of their compound seem to gain minds of their own and start dumping or spitting various liquids at the men.
This was officially going to be the fastest raid Danny’s ever pulled on them.
Of course the second that thought had crossed his mind he gets bodily smashed into and tossed into the air by a fleeing former captive. “I do not apologize! Unless you are the one who freed me!”.
“I AM HE!”.
“WARNING! WARNING! NO YOU ARE NOT! DO NOT STEAL MY THUNDER OR NO MORE LASAGNA FOR FLEEING BITCH BOY!”.
“Hey!”.
Danny promptly gets picked up by one said fleeing persons and hoisted over head, “you know the hacker so whatever!”. ClockWork simply moving to be on Danny’s stomach as the pair get effectively carried out of the compound like they’re feral cats; ClockWork’s even still cleaning their staff. G.I.W. agents attempt to chase them, slipping and sliding all over the messes on the ground and shrieking about cleanliness breaches all the while.
Heh.
Ten outta ten.
A bit away from the compound Danny finally gets put down, the group of ex-experimented on humans stare at Danny and the still toddler sized ClockWork. One guy gesturing at the ghost, “why?”.
“The time was right and time is a funny thing”.
Everyone, even Danny, glares at the ghost. ClockWork age shifting into an adult, winking, and swinging their staff to teleport away. The group of people collectively groan, many throwing up their hands, before stomping off.
Danny looking down at the ground dejectedly, “why does everybody leave me?”, and fake sniffles before jerking up straight and flipping off the G.I.W. compound in the background that appears to be starting to smoke ominously. A faint “WARNING! WARNING! GET WRECKED BITCHES!” can be heard in the distance.
Hell yeah.
Footballking: move your asses! I have been here all weekend!
Danny snickers down at his phone before looking to Kwan, whose hands on the table looking at all the paper. Star repeatedly glancing from the google doc to the papers and typing. Danny stretching out, shoulders popping, “so we got the actual school news paper thing? Dash might be getting bored of doing random workout exercises outside of a locked door”. The look Kwan gives him is distinctly pained.
Paulina huffing, “fine, here, feak. Go use your weak little loser legs to run it off to Dash”, throwing a bit of her hair over her shoulder, “that way he won’t have to waste any more of his, far more important, time”.
Danny gives her the double middle finger, “kick rocks, Paulina. Kick. Rocks”; he takes the papers any way and moves to hop out the window.
Star staring at the window, “that used to be funny but at this point everyone hates when he does that”.
Kwan chuckling, “well yeah, half the time he breaks the damn window when he does that. Even I’ve heard the janitors complain about it”.
Danny moves moderately quickly across town.
thealiveone: I am an incoming misiel and you are a target
thealiveone: fear me
Footballking: you hanging out with the box ghost mow?
Footballking: not like anyone else could put up with your pathetic waste of a life
thealiveone: suddenly the missile is moving much much slower
Footballking:…..
thealiveone: in fact it seems the midsole has stopped moving entitely
Footballking: goddamn it Fenton
Footballking: I won’t give you a swirly for a week of you just husle your ass
thealiveone: the missile is now jogging at a steady but not particually speedy pace
Footballking: GET BENT FENTON
Danny crawls up part of the school wall, jimmys open a window and crawls in on all fours, Dash just staring at him, “seriously?”. Sam popping out from around a corner ominously, “is it done”.
“You ask me that like I went and offed a guy”. Danny standing up and brushing off his pants before sauntering over and holding out the paper, “but yes, yes I did”.
Sam snatching it while Dash throws up his hands, her reading off of the paper, “As everyone is well aware, the G.I.W. has a tendency to be involved in many unethical and unsafe plans and operations. One such plan to attempt ‘modernize’ the human body involved some wild human and ghost expiremntation, as was discovered by Daniel Fenton, Sam Manson, Paulina Sanchez, Star Anderson, Dash Baxter, and Kwan Ishima. This means that we should now lobby the Provincial government, as people of Amity Park and in alignment with our coexistence with the Infinite Realm, to charge the G.I.W. for their various crimes. Here in follows all found infractions and both the names and addresses of the men involved”. Her looking back to Danny, “this is all of two paragraphs, Danny”.
Danny rolling his eyes and hands over the rest, it’s not a small stack.
Sam grins meanly, even Dash does, “now we’re talking”.
All three moving to stand in front of the door. Dash blinking after a while, “and when does this open?”.
Danny shrugging, “oh only in 3 hours”.
“You’re dead, Fenton. Dead fucking meat”.
Lance Thunder -reporter of the weather and, for some ungodly reason, ghost issues also known as ‘the ghost weather watch’- has hated his job somewhat mildly for a while now. Don’t get him wrong, he likes reporting, he just doesn’t like reporting on ghosts or on the sheer insanity that was Amity Park’s specific brand of abnormally snowy weather. It didn’t help that small town equaled small time, and never really getting his name out there or doing anything really impressive or of note in his field. Especially because who was going to take a ghost weather reporter seriously on anything ever. Ugh.
But he’s stuck here and as much as he low-key slightly hates his job, he also loves this stupid town. Just like every other Amity Parker.
Tiffany all but bursts into his ‘office’ aka a desk with really high sides at best, “G.I.W. news”.
Oh Lance Thunder hates his job so very much.
The… Casper High Ravens News on top is new though… and concerning. Please don’t let the Fenton boy be involved. Please don’t let the Fenton boy be involved. Please for the love of everything don’t. Let. Him. Be. Involved. Slowly grabbing the papers to read them over, knowing full well he’s going to be clocking some over time now.
…
HA. Never mind. This is great. He’s glad his mental begging failed him yet again. Lance Thunder grins down at the papers, “Tiffany, expect to see the name Lance Thunder on journalistic ethics studies in the near future”.
She blinks, “that bad?”
“Please get me a copy of WPA and all related papers”.
“Jesus”.
Lance Thunder, the whistle blower… ahh that sounded great. Maybe he’ll get his own wiki article now? That’ll show stupid Jeremiah and his stupid ‘struck it big in New York’ job!
Footballking: know that this is the last time I’m touch this thing
thealiveone: until we all wind up getting stuck together again
Footballking: keep your bad luck to yourself, Fentroley
Footballking: we actually made it into the town news
Shade: way to go us
Shade: down with the G.I.W. scum
Footballking: scum
Kwanbomb: scum
thealiveone: scum
Phantomsphine: scum
Starfire: scum
PDAxpda: SCUM!
Starfire: at least the ‘Ravens Raid the Restrained: Casper High Students Uncover Super Soldier Ghost Hybrid Plot Using A God’ title is nuts to see
thealiveone: and entirely our fault! Hooray!
Starfire: there’s even a secotion with ‘all G.I.W. names revealed’ we actually doxxed them
PDAxpda: noice
Shade: and that Thunder guy apparently actually got nominated for an award or something over it
Starfire: good for him?
Phantomsphine: oh whatever
Footballking: we did get bonus credits so I DO NOT care
thealiveone: and!
thealiveone: we didn’t fail the project!
Shade: at this point if we had I’d be throwing hands
thealiveone: ditto
Phantomsphine: as if I’d risk a nail doing that
Shade: 🙄
PDAxpda: ironically, Lancer the teacher actually got a cease and desist notice from the government over ‘encouraging civil war’ and ‘threatening public safety’
Starfire: seriously????
Starfire: wow
thealiveone: oh I’m sure he just added it to the pile
(Mr. Lancer did, in fact, just add it to his ever growing pile. A pile that was largely his favourite problem child’s fault, because of course it was. However, he was supremely not impressed over just how many pictures accompanied the ‘notice’/threat. Not only did they get the place covered in random liquids but they also set most of it on fire. And the government apparently felt the need to also send him copies of all the ‘housing’ and ‘aid’ and ‘asylum’ requests filed by the G.I.W. captives… without any of the people’s names redacted. Mr. Lancer really hates the government these days and sincerely wishes Daniel would stop accosting them)
Kwanbomb: oh yeah he weakly threatens you with random files from ‘the pile’ all the time
Kwanbomb: I thought those were about your parents or your breaking shit havit
Footballking: ha
thealiveone: I mean there’s also files on my parents but those or more used to threaten said parents than me
Starfire: zone damn
thealiveone: I know right?
Starfire: oh what about that time god ghost? Why were they even there?
thealiveone: time thinks it’s being funny
Shade: time thinks it’s being funny
PDAxpda: time thinks it’s being funny
Kwanbomb: that…
Kwanbomb: was creepy
Footballking: I am leaving I am done wasting my time on you freaks
— Footballking has left the chat—
thealiveone: damn I’m surprised it took that long
—Phantomsphine has left the chat—
PDAxpda: Paulina no! Not even a goodbye
Shade: shallow wench
Starfire: you know
Starfire: maybe people would actually hangout with you lot more if you weret all kinda meanies
Starfire: like, seriously
thealiveone: the difference between ya’ll and me is that A lot of people like assholes and sticking things in them. But no one likes a douchebag
—Starfire has left the chat—
Shade: oh fuck off shallow puddle number 2
PDAxpda: but I’m mice!
Kwanbomb: but man you’re also a total creep
Kwanbomb: even dense Kyle can see that
Shade: whatever
—Shade has left the chat—
PDAxpda: 🥲
thealiveone: he has a point tuck
PDAxpda: a point I’m refusing to hear
—PDAxpda has left the chat—
thealiveone: and then there were two
thealiveone: two bros chilling in the hot tub five feet apart because they’re not gay
Kwanbomb: the constant puns and jokes is another ick dude
thealiveone: but it’s my biggest attractive quality
thealiveone: the punny man
thealiveone: the punmister
thealiveone: the pun-isher
Kwanbomb: I’m going to be the only one at you’re funeral
thealiveone: first off
thealiveone: rude
thealiveone: second off
thealiveone: just assuming I’m gonna put live san and tuck? HA!
Kwanbomb: obviously
Kwanbomb: Masons on a oneway tocket to getting shot at a protest or something or winding up in jail
Kwanbomb: and didn’t Foley absolutely wreck his fingers just to get a new pda? Guys got zero survival whatever
thealiveone: ….
thealiveone: I do not like this conversation anymore
Kwanbomb: that’s fair man
Kwanbomb: your lifes pretty shit
thealiveone: I DID NOT AIGN UP FOR A THERAPY SESS
thealiveone: but I’m actually a seemi decent person
thealiveone: to wveryone who isn’t vlad
thealiveone: so goodbye
thealiveone:…
thealiveone: and maybe don’t die
Kwanbomb: 😁👍🏾
Kwanbomb: I promise you’ll have someone around to miss you when you’re gone
thealiveone: ancients fuck me
—thealiveone has left the chat—
Kwanbomb: whelp
Kwanbomb: now it’s just me and the void
Kwanbomb: …
Kwanbomb: that guy is seriosuyl gonna die alone though
Kwanbomb: oh I should write ulogy poems!
—Kwanbomb has dissolved the chat—
“So did you save that Ancient”.
“Yes, obviously, no thanks to you, jackass”.
“Were they happy about your wasted effort and pointless heroics”.
“Fucking peachy”.
… “Are they going to fully kill me, Daniel?”.
“Oh for zones sake, old man. No. If they wanted to they would have done so already… But you are absolutely going to die alone”.
“Hmmmm. I highly doubt that. After all, you will be there one way or another and whether you like it or not”.
“…”
“Same as I’ll be there for you, to lord your demise over you”.
“Goddamn you. I… tolerate you too, you stupid frootloop”.
“What a peculiar way to say ‘I love you dearly, father’, little badger”.
“Never gonna happen. I will enjoy going to your funeral, full well knowing I could have changed the outcome”.
“And I’ll look forward to seeing you there in a proper suit for once in your buffoonish life”
“Ha! Assuming I’ll wear a suit!”.
“Oh that’s absolutely required in my will”.
“…. I hate you so much. Bye, Vlad”.
“Ah, by the way, dear Maddie told me a certain someone is coming to my lovely abode all weekend for slacking on their chores again”
“I will eviscerate you”.
“I’ll add it to our schedule, Daniel. In between etiquette training and fencing, of course”.
“Ugh”.
End.
Prompts:
It's Tucker and his PDA versus the G.I.W. The Guys in White never stood a chance.
Reveal—but the person or thing revealed isn’t Danny.
Danny and friends end up in a group chat with A-Listers for a group project.
For once Lance Thunder is glad he never took that job in another city
The Guys in White have captured the ghost of a frail old man for experiments - lots and lots of painful experiments! But there's something strange about this old ghost. How does he know all their real names and other personal information? Why does he always sound like an old clock?
Time is funny like that
I hate it when he does that [feel free to change pronouns as appropriate]
Mr. Lancer has promised extra credit to any student that writes an article for the school newspaper. If he had even the slightest bit of foresight, he could've prevented the following chaos.
A/N: Hey guys! here’s the seventh installment. I hope you enjoy it, and please let me know what you think. ps: if you want to be tagged, please inbox me directly!

masterlist
There’s something incredibly, intimately raw about falling asleep in the arms of another.
The warmth shared between you, breath tickling necks and ears and cheeks. Slight movement and accidental touches, not quite conscious enough to have control over it, but enough to feel it.
It’s like a dream you never want to wake from.
You keep your eyes closed though your body begins to stir. The first thing you’re aware of is Bucky’s broad chest pressed flat against your back, his arms caging you to him. His face is buried in the crook of your neck and with each steady breath he takes, the exhale skitters across your skin.
It takes everything in you not to shiver.
The next thing you notice is how flush his hips are against your behind. You’re not sure if you’re imagining it, but you swear you can feel the outline of something.. your suspicions are confirmed when he gently rocks his hips in his sleep and a small, breathy moan escapes him.
If your face wasn’t hot to the touch before, it certainly was now.
He does it again, this time with a little more force, causing you to whimper with want.
He begins to wake at that moment, face burying further into your neck, pressing light, sweet kisses to your skin with a mumble, “Mornin’, Kitten.”
The husky roughness to his voice has you squeezing your thighs together and biting back another whimper, even moreso when he carefully nips at your pulse point before relaxing against you. “How’d you sleep?”
You don’t feel the throbbing in your temples until he asks the question. You suddenly regret the wine you’d drank the night before.
Of course a migraine would plague you when you’re with him. That’s just your luck.
You let out a shaky breath as the pain becomes more fierce, which he notices, and sits up a bit to peek over your shoulder in concern.
“Kitten?”
He grasps your chin gently, tilting your face til your eyes meet his. He’s just in time to watch a stray tear escape the corner of your eye. “What’s the matter?” He coos, catching the droplet with his thumb.
You close your eyes briefly, taking in another breath before you whisper, “Migraine.”
There’s nothing but sympathy in his stare.
“What can I do for you?”
He spends the next ten minutes getting you pain relievers, a bottle of water and starting a nice, warm shower for you. When he returns to the bedroom, you’re in the same position as when he left. His heart aches for you.
“C’mon, kitten. You’ll feel better after you shower.” He lifts you out of the bed as if you weigh nothing, one arm under your knees while the other supports your back, and carries you to the bathroom. Only then does he carefully place you on your feet and flash a nervous glance.
“Are you going to be okay by yourself..?” His voice shakes as he asks.
You nod through your daze, taking one step towards the shower and tripping over the edge of the bathmat. Luckily, he catches you, letting out a small breath when he does. “That settles it, then. Arms over your head, kitten.”
You do as he asks, though your arms feel like they weigh a hundred times more than normal. He slowly, carefully lifts your night shirt over your head, the tips of his pinky fingers ghosting over each inch of skin he reveals. Had your head not been pounding, you might’ve giggled at the feeling. Instead, you shiver and whine.
He hums, quickly making work of your shorts and helping you step out of them. His index finger traces the edge of your underwear and his eyes find yours in question. “Can I.. can I take these off of you, kitten? Help you get in the shower..?” He brings the cool metal of his palm to your feverish cheek, into which you immediately nuzzle.
“I just wanna help you feel better..”
You nod after a few moments, smiling softly. He returns the grin, but doesn’t make his move quite yet. “Words, kitten. Use your words.”
A soft, pained laugh escapes you as you nod again, “Yes.. I..I trust you, Bucky.”
Your eyes meet his and you feel a chill work it’s way down your spine. You’d never noticed just how incredibly blue they were until this moment, and with little rays of yellow in the middle, if you looked close enough. He’s got freckles scattered across his nose and cheekbones, and one or two glistening grey hairs in his beard.
He was breathtaking.
And your head starts to throb again.
You lean forward, forehead against his bicep with a small groan from your lips. He murmurs soft words of comfort, sweet I got you’s and it’s gonna be okay’s as he helps you undress entirely, mirroring the action before he steps under the water with you.
The feel of the piping hot water against your skin mixed with the sensation of Bucky’s warmth pressed against you was nearly intoxicating in your state.
Bucky held you to his chest, one arm wrapped around your waist, while the other tangled in the hair at the base of your head, gently massaging the muscle there. His lips were at your temple, pressing soft, barely there kisses to your skin.
His kindness nearly brought tears to your eyes.
One of your hands rested flat against the middle of his chest, while your other arm curled around him, needing to hold onto him in order to stay upright. The sound of the water hitting the shower floor became a lullaby to your ears, soothing you into a dream-like state.
You’ve nearly completely fallen asleep, when Bucky moves, grabbing for a bottle off the shower shelf.
“I get headaches a lot too.. I got this ‘cause I read somewhere that peppermint is good for headaches.” He squirts a generous amount of the soap into his hand before returning the bottle to its place and lathers the liquid in his hands.
You inhale deeply when the scent hits your nostrils. It’s strong, but not quite strong enough to make your eyes water.
You jump when you suddenly feel Bucky’s hands on the bare skin of your waist. He chuckles softly, hands stilling until he meets your gaze. “Sorry, kitten.. I should’ve asked.. can I.. can I touch you?”
The sound of your heart in your ears becomes louder and louder, yearning and pain mashing together into one giant war in your skull. You whimper out a small yes before letting your head fall back against his chest, relishing in the way it felt to be held by him.
He massages your hips and stomach for a moment, before moving on to your back and shoulders. His skilled fingers work at the skin on your neck, spreading the peppermint soap on every inch of your skin, until it had completely taken over your senses.
It was beginning to take the edge off your headache.
His hands move from your neck to your collarbone, rubbing the suds up the expanse of your throat and to your chin, before repeating the trail down your sternum. He does this a few times, narrowly missing your breasts with each pass of his hands, then he moves down to wash your stomach, pressing a sweet kiss to the top of your head in the process.
“Is this helping at all Kitten?” He asks after ten or so minutes, and you nod against his chest.
He helps rinse the soap off of you, and then lets you relax against his nude form once again.
“We could just.. lay in bed until you feel better, hm? I’ll make you some soup?” His metal fingertips move up and down your spine in soothing lines as he speaks.
You nod against his chest, tracing random shapes against the skin under your hand. “Yes, please…” You pull away slowly to look up at him, his near-Black looking hair sticking to his face and water drops beading on his eyelashes. He smiles sadly at you and brings his right hand up to cradle your cheek.
Your lower lip trembles before you speak, “I’m sorry I’m sick..”
His brow creases in confusion, “You.. you’re sorry..? Kitten, you don’t have to be sorry that you’re not feelin’ well, I..” He licks his lips, cheeks turning a light shade of pink, “I really care about you, and I.. I love..” he pauses again, his coloring escalating to scarlet, “I love.. taking care of you. You.. you’re my girl. You don’t ever have to be sorry.” He rests his forehead against yours, closing his eyes while he smiles. “You’re my everything, Kitten.. didn’t you know that?”
You pull him closer to you by the nape of his neck, pressing a light, sweet kiss to the corner of his mouth. His lips part to release a shaky breath at the contact, chasing for more when you pull a few inches back.
“I.. I would really like to kiss you, kitten, but.. I need you to be feelin’ one hundred percent first, alright?” He sounds like he’s convincing himself of that more than you, but the feeling of your stomach growling has you agreeing with him.
“Deal.”

Once Bucky has you dressed in one of his shirts and snuggled back up in the comforts of his bed, he makes his way into the kitchen, fetching you more water and some small snacks.
The next few hours passed in a blur as you drift in and out of consciousness.
By the time you’re fully awake again, the alarm next to Bucky’s bed reads 4:00PM and he’s nowhere to be found.
An appetizing smell wafts in from the hallway, making your mouth water.
You follow the scent, your feet leading you into his spacious kitchen, where he stands in front of the stove, back to you as he hums softly.
You can’t place the tune, but the way he carries it makes your heart flutter wildly.
As if he senses your presence, he turns his head to the side, smiling, “How ya feelin’ kitten? Any better?”
You come closer, nuzzling your face into his shoulder before returning his smile and nodding. “Much better, thanks to you.”
He leans down to kiss your forehead tenderly, then turns his attention back to his pan on the stove. “Well.. I was goin’ to make you some more soup, but if you’re feeling a little better now, would you like something else?” He reaches out, turning the burner off, and turns to you, circling his arms around your waist with another smile. His eyes look half lidded and tired, and you suddenly worry that taking care of you was too much of a chore for him.
“I.. We can do whatever you want Bucky, I..” You clear your throat, feeling your ears begin to burn with embarrassment, “I just.. I wanted to say thank you.. For taking care of me, you know.. The soup, and carrying me, and um.. The uh.. The shower..” You drop your gaze from his before continuing, “You were a-a real.. gentleman about it, and I.. I appreciate you. You didn’t have to do that..”
He mumbles a quiet “kitten...” and tilts your head back up with his first and second knuckles. “I told you, I will always take care of you. It’s not about having to do it. It’s about wanting to.”
His hand moves and his thumb catches your lower lip gently, brushing back and forth across it, once, twice, three times, before he drops his hand, his own blush appearing across his cheeks.
“You’re, uh.. Forgive me for starin’, kitten, but.. You’re really beautiful, y’know.” He bites his lip, looking you over for just a few more moments before he speaks again, “You look even better in my shirt than you did in that goddamn towel..”
His observation brings back memories from the first time he saw you so exposed, and then the more recent memory from this morning..
His warmth pressed against you, flesh to flesh, water cascading over the two of you.. While it hadn’t been sexual at the time, the hazy image of it now made fire rush through your blood.
He seems to notice your soft intake of breath, the quickening of your pulse, because he chuckles and leans down to press a lingering kiss to your cheek. “You’re my girl..” He murmurs against your skin, leaving another soft kiss against your skin, “I love taking care of you.”
You tilt your head, catching his lips with your own in a slow, tentative movement. He inhales deeply at the action, one hand leaving your waist to support the back of your neck, allowing him to deepen the kiss and pull you closer all at once.
He whimpers when your tongue darts out to taste his. You find yourself letting out a similar noise when he backs you against the kitchen counter, mouth still slanted over yours, hands roaming the expanse of your back. They move swiftly to the back of your thighs, lifting you and placing you on the grey-black granite you’d come to admire. A giggle escapes you at the coolness on your bare legs, which prompts him to laugh, too, pulling back and resting his forehead against yours as he pants softly.
“I’m gonna miss this..” He suddenly whispers, hands squeezing your hips before sliding up your back and neck, stopping to cradle your jaw. “You. I’m going to miss you.”
You place your hands over his, looking up at him with teary eyes. “Hey.. I’m still here.. I’m right here, with you..” You pause to let out a shaky breath. “For three more days. After that, we figure it out, okay? I’ll come visit you, you can come visit me.. Maybe you know, eventually, one of us moves, It--”
“You’d do that?”
There’s so much hope in his voice when he asks that it makes your heart soar.
“Oh, of course I would, Bucky, I.. I don’t want to lose you.”
His smile returns at your response, and he presses another light smooch to the corner of your mouth. “Three days, hmm? Well.. We better make ‘em count, then..”
His face is overcome with an excited grin, “And tomorrow is the most important day, you know.”
A/N: Hey guys! Here’s the second installment. I hope you enjoy it, and please let me know what you think.
Warnings: language, flirting, pet names, angst, feels, bad date vibes
Masterlist
[Sarge1917:] Tell me all your favorite things.
[SpaceKitten:] All of them? You can’t be a liiiittle more specific? Lol
[Sarge1917:] oh, I’m sure I could, but.. I want to know everything there is to know about you, kitten, so I figured I’d just outright ask. (;
Every time Sarge flirted with you like this, it made you squirm in your seat while a huge smile overtook your face. To say that you found him irresistible was an understatement.
[Sarge1917]: But if it’ll be easier for you.. let’s start with favorite food, music, flowers and scent.
[SpaceKitten]: I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
[Sarge1917]: Deal.
This is always how your conversations started out, genuine interest in wanting to get inside your shell. But, in the early hours of the morning when the sun is just starting to paint the sky in pastel flames, the connection between you sparks and ignites.
You spill your hearts out without a second thought.
[Sarge1917]: Kitten.. can I be completely honest with you?
[SpaceKitten]: always.
Your response is nearly immediate, like its second nature to reassure him that he can trust you. That he can feel safe with you.
[Sarge1917]: I really care about you.
[SpaceKitten]: I really care about you too, Sarge.
You thought that was common knowledge in the friendship that had bloomed between you. He was always there for you, and you for him.
[Sarge1917]: As happy as it makes me to hear that, I’m not sure you understand what I’m trying to say…
[Sarge1917]: What I mean is.. I like you, kitten.
[Sarge1917]: Probably much more than I should, given I’ve never even so much as heard the sound of your voice, let alone seen your face or held you in my arms.
[Sarge1917]: I thought all of that was important when I first joined this site.. that I was already set up for failure because id never have an emotional connection with a person I couldn’t physically see.
[Sarge1917]: But I was wrong, kitten.. so very wrong.
Your mouth has gone dry at this point, a lump forming in your throat as your heart threatens to explode behind your ribs.
[Sarge1917]: Talking with you is the highlight of my day, and frankly, I don’t want to imagine a life without you in it..
[Sarge1917]: Which makes what I’m about to say very hard for me.
The excited rhythm of your heart immediately becomes a harsh thundering in your chest, fear flooding through your veins.
[Sarge1917]: I know we’ve never really gotten into detail about what I do for a living, but occasionally, I have to go off the grid for a few weeks, even months, at a time..
[Sarge1917]: It would seem now would be one of those times.
You stare blankly at the screen for a few moments, not quite sure how to respond to him.
He was leaving… for an undetermined amount of time?
And ‘off the grid’? What did that mean?
No computer access? Surely he had a cell phone?
[Sarge1917]: Kitten…? please still be with me..
You don’t even notice how long you’ve sat, lost in your own thoughts, until he messages again.
[SpaceKitten]: I’m here..
[SpaceKitten]: How long will you be gone…?
You don’t notice you’ve started to tear up until you can barely read his response when it comes through.
[Sarge1917]: Two to three months. Depends on how quickly I get my work done. I won’t have access to phone or internet where I’m going. That’s why I needed to tell you..
[Sarge1917]: Because I know it’s selfish to ask you to wait for me.. Hell, if you even feel the same as me..
[Sarge1917]: But I can promise, as soon as I get back, I will contact you.
You’re surprised he’s the one feeling selfish, when all you can think of is begging him not to leave you.
He wasn’t yours, yet the idea of going weeks without speaking to him made anxiety fill your lungs.
He’d given you the one thing you’d been missing: hope for something good. Hope for something beautiful.
[SpaceKitten]: When do you leave?
[Sarge1917]: First thing in the morning.. I know I should’ve told you sooner, but I.. I didn’t know how.
[Sarge1917]: I’m not good at saying goodbye.
You force a smile and take in a shaky, tearful breath.
[SpaceKitten]: Not goodbye.. just ‘see you soon’, right..?
[Sarge1917]: Of course. Just see you soon.
When Sarge finally signed off a few hours later, an empty pit formed in the center of your chest and you found yourself silently sobbing yourself to sleep.
Was it childish? Maybe, but in that moment, you didn’t care. Your worst fear in the friendship had come to reality; he left.
Two weeks turned to four, four turned to six, six to eight and so on, until Sarge’s absence had reached an appalling 22 weeks.
Summer had turned to autumn, and the autumn leaves had begun to turn a shade of brown that only winter’s frost can bring.
Waiting longer than that for a faceless man you’d met on the internet seemed foolish, and so you were determined to move on.
You found a different app, more up to date, showing you other singles in the area who were looking to meet up.
Setting up a date with the first guy who matched with you seemed like a good idea at the time.
When you show up to the address of your dinner date, you realize it’s a more-sleazy-than-not type of place, and seemed like the perfect spot to have more intimate conversations than you were ready for. Especially on a first date.
Trusting your gut is something you’ve always had a hard time with.
Your date is named Nicolas, and though his profile seemed nice enough, he seems to have a problem with keeping his hands to himself.
Fingers found their way beneath the hem of your dress and inched far too high for your liking, several times.
Each time you denied his advances, he laughed as if it was a cute joke, and proceeded to do it again ten minutes later.
An hour and a half in, and it was taking everything in you not to slap him or cry.. or maybe even both.
The end of the date couldn’t come fast enough, and you were thankful you drove separately.
He walks you to your car, backing you against the drivers side and pressing his body to yours in a feeble attempt to seduce you. He seems to have no idea how repulsive you find him.
Claiming to feel ill manages to get you away from him without making mouth-to-mouth contact. When you’re out of the parking lot, tears fall freely from your eyes.
Once you’re in the safety of your apartment, skin scrubbed raw in the shower and wrapped in your smoothest, softest robe, you make a silent pact with yourself that the only men you need in your life are Ben & Jerry.
They’d never treat you this way, they’d merely mend the holes in your heart with chocolate and caramel goodness.
What more could you need?
Your hand is shaking and your eyes are puffy and bloodshot when you finally bring up your chat app on the computer. The one you’d met Sarge on.
You go to your account settings, finally ready to let go, to give up and deactivate your account.
You’d decided you were finally done.
Taking a few deep breaths, you bring the cursor of your mouse to rest over the DEACTIVATE button, fresh tears stinging the back of your eyes as you hesitate.
A silent prayer resounds in your mind as you let out one more shaky breath and prepare to finally click.
...but not before the familiar sound of a new IM comes through the speakers.
Your eyes are still closed from your moment of regaining composure, and you try to calm the erratic beating in your chest. It can’t be him. It can’t. Calm yourself.
When you open your eyes, tears flow over their edges and your jaw falls slack.
[Sarge1917]: Kitten…?
You’re convinced you’ve made this up, it’s some sort of hallucination. Moments ago, you silently told yourself that if it was meant to be, you’d be given some sort of sign, and now.. this?
Was it coincidence? Or interference from the divine?
You’re too trapped in your own mind to even consider replying right away.
[Sarge1917]: Please still be with me…
His words ring back to memories of your last conversation and you find your emotions fighting a battle between relief, joy, and anger.
[SpaceKitten]: I’m here, I just.. I’m in shock. Is it really you?
[Sarge1917]: Please forgive me. I didn’t know my trip would be extended and I had no way to let you know.
[Sarge1917]: I thought about you every day I was gone.
The familiar feeling of butterflies in your lower belly resurfaces, though you try your best to fight it.
[Sarge1917]: Kitten? You there?
You weren’t sure how it was even possible, but more tears fill your eyes as you type. Your fingers hit the keys harshly, not even bothering to fix the typos as you go.
[SpaceKitten]: You were gone. For so fucking long.
[SpaceKitten]: I started losing hope after week ten, but held out for you for 22 weeks.
[SpaceKitten]: you have no idea what that was like for me, Sarge. Wondering why you didn’t come back, when you swore you would.
[SpaceKitten]: Do you remember your last words to me, Sarge?
[SpaceKitten]: you said “please don’t forget me”
[SpaceKitten]: and I told you it’d be hard to remember anything else
[Sarge1917]: Kitten, please, let me explain
You’re too far into your rant to stop, it’s coming out involuntarily at this point.
[SpaceKitten]: I went on a date for the first time in two years tonight. And I promised myself I wouldn’t self sabotage, just because I couldn’t get you out of my head.
[SpaceKitten]: The date turned out to be shit anyway, but I can’t decide if it’s because I set myself up for it, or if it’s because all men are handsy, sex crazed idiots.
[SpaceKitten]: And all I could think when I got home was, “I bet Sarge would never have done this to me”, even though I have nothing for comparison because we’ve been nothing but ghosts to each other for nearly a year.
[Sarge1917]: Kitten.. I’m so sorry.
You have to cease your keyboard attack momentarily to fetch a tissue and clean up your face.
[Sarge1917]: Do you want me to leave you alone?
The question makes you scoff and shake your head, though you’re well aware he can’t see you.
[SpaceKitten]: That is literally the last thing I want…
Your eyes scan over the words you’d sent minutes ago, and you realize that while you feel you were in the right, you might’ve been a little harsh.
Guilt eats away at the lining of your stomach while you wait to see his reply.
[Sarge1917]: Can I call you..?
You’re stunned by the question. It was the first time such a thing had been brought up in all the time you’d been talking. You figured it was just because he was too anxious, or hated phone calls like so many people, including yourself.
[Sarge1917]: Hell, you can even call me. Block your number, I don’t care. I just want you to hear my voice when I say what I have to say. I need you to believe me, and if I can’t be there to say it to your face, this will have to do.
His next message contains an assortment of numbers, the ones you’d have to dial to finally accomplish something you’d only dreamed of for months.
Hearing his voice.
[Sarge1917]: Sleep won’t come easy for me tonight, so take your time, Kitten. I’ll be here when you’re ready.
Your phone is sitting on the edge of your desk, the blank screen taunting you as you look down at it. All you had to do was pick it up, dial the 10 digit number, open your mouth and force words out.
It sounded a lot easier than it was going to be.
What if you forgot how to speak?
What if he didn’t answer?
What if he does turn out to be a 77 year old trucker?
What if he’s a total creep, like you’ve been worrying about the whole time?
Somehow, you find the pros outweighing the cons. Your hands move of their own accord and pick up your phone, typing in each number with intent. You could do this.
The line rings once, twice, three times, before someone finally answers.
The voice on the other end of the call is warm, deep, and sounds like honey. Your insides melt at the sound.
“Kitten?”

masterlist
“Kitten?”
The baritone of his voice leaves you speechless, unable to force a single syllable to leave your lips.
“You with me?”
He speaks again, emotion laced in the words and you find yourself able to speak a name.
“Sarge?”
He sighs into the phone, though it sounds more like a pleasurable release than not.
“It is you. I.. I was beginning to think you wouldn’t call.”
You’re silent for a few beats before you respond.
“You.. you said you needed to speak with me.”
Another loud exhale comes from his end, followed by rustling that could only be the sound of him rolling on his mattress, repositioning before he begins to talk.
“I do.. I.. I needed you to know how incredibly, sincerely sorry I am. I was so.. so angry when I found out I’d be gone an additional three months, and doll, I swear to you, I tried to get them to let me message you - even just once, but it just wasn’t possible.. I..”
He pauses, taking in a breath to restore what he’d lost during his rushed explanation.
“I was so afraid that you’d never forgive me.. or worse, that I’d come back and you’d be gone completely, with no way for me to contact you because I’d never even thought to ask you for your goddamn name.. sweetheart, I.. I thought about you every fuckin’ day, every damn moment. I-I never stopped..”
You’re still at a loss for words, staring blankly at your keyboard as you listen intently to him speak. There was no denying the guilt and regret each sentence carried, just as there was no denying the effect it had on the pattern of your heartbeat.
“Even though every day was hell, it made me realize somethin’.. somethin’ I knew I had to tell you as soon as I got back. Whether you felt the same or not.”
He stops again, as if he’s waiting for you to ask what his grand realization was.
“W-what’s that?” You finally manage to whisper, picking at a random thread in the hem of your robe.
“I need to see you.. to meet you. I-I’ve wanted to, for a long while now, but I was always too nervous, too terrified that once you saw me, really saw me, that you wouldn’t want to speak to me ever again, but.. somewhere along the way, that wanting turned into needing.. You’ve had a piece of my heart for so long, I think it’s finally time we revealed the faces of our ghosts, don’t you?”
His voice shook with uncertainty as he spoke the last few words.
You know he’s just as scared by the idea of meeting you as you are of meeting him. The idea of finally revealing the identity behind the username.
“Kitten, please..”
He’s on the verge of begging, and the way the pet name rolls off his tongue has you on the cusp of giving in.
“I-I don’t know.. It’s so close to the holidays, I’m sure transportation would be expensive..”
Every excuse in the book is racing through your mind, lining up one right after the other at the back of your throat.
His next words throw you for a spin.
“Let me fly you out here. To New York. First class. If you don’t feel comfortable staying with me, I can get you a hotel room. Please. Let me do this for you… for us. I.. I think we owe it to ourselves, don’t you?”
He’s literally taken any and all logical reasons for you to not go right out of the equation, and though part of you wants to squeal with joy, another part of you remains uncertain. There are still seeds of doubt planted in your mind.
“All I need is your name and birthdate to book the ticket. You could come next week, I’m looking at flights right now.”
The fear in his voice has transformed into excitement, the sound of his mouse clicking repeatedly is barely audible in the background of the call.
You decide to voice your number one concern.
“What if I’m not what you’re expecting?”
The clicking on his end ceases and his voice regains an aura of confidence.
“I just want to meet the girl who’s stolen my heart over the last year. All I’m expecting is for us to be as honest and open with each other as we’ve been from the start. Please?”
A few moments of silence seem to stretch on for hours, before you finally let out a shaky sigh into the phone.
“I-Okay.. I’ll come. I can talk to my boss tomorrow. I don’t think he’ll give me more than a week vacation, though.”
He lets out an audible sigh of relief, followed by the first laugh you’d ever heard him release.
“You have no idea how happy you’ve made me, kitten. Ecstatic.”
A smile brings a glow to your entire face, prompting you to chew your lower lip to keep it from getting much bigger.
“I just need your name.”
Providing him with the proper information so he can book your flight takes no more than ten minutes, but that’s when the next dilemma arises.
He clears his throat before he speaks.
“Now.. like I said before, you’re more than welcome to stay with me.. I live in a three bedroom apartment and I have a guest room that’s very comfortable.. I can also book you a hotel if you’d prefer.”
A war wages within your head, but you sit in silence. Wanting to get your mind completely made up before you speak.
“I.. I can stay with you. I trust you.”
Another small breath leaves him, and you try not to imagine what the smile that surely graced his lips looks like.
“I promise I will give you as much or as little space as you like. This is all in your control, okay?”
You nod, before realizing he can only hear you, not see you.
“Okay.”
x
The next five days go by in a blur, and before you know it, it’s the night before you’re supposed to leave for New York. To meet Sarge.
You’re packing away the last few articles of clothing you want to take on your week long trip, when your phone starts to buzz from its place on your nightstand. Sarge, the caller ID reads.
You answer with a shaky laugh, “Hello?”
“How ya feelin’, kitten?” You know the real question he’s trying to ask, but he doesn’t want to be rude.
Have you gotten cold feet yet?
Slowly zipping your suitcase shut, you respond in a much calmer voice than before, “I’m okay. A little nervous, but I just finished packing.. How are you? Change your mind?”
You decide to tease at the question for him.
“I’d never. I’ve never been so sure of something in my life.”
You wish you had his confidence.
“It’s going to be fine, you know. I’m going to meet you at the baggage claim as soon as your flight lands. We’ll grab food if you’re hungry and then head back to the apartment so you can relax. Like I said, you’re in control of how all of this plays out.”
You’re sitting on the edge of your bed, arm crossed over your middle as you chew the inside of your cheek.
“What’s goin’ on in that pretty head of yours, doll?”
The affection in his voice makes you crack a smile.
“It’s just.. everything will be different after tomorrow.. won’t it?”
He hums softly before he speaks, “Only difference’ll be that I’ll finally be able to put a face to your voice, and you’ll be able to put a face to mine. Think of it like.. the next step. I’m not gonna try to seduce you right away or anythin’ like that, not gonna do anythin’ you aren’t comfortable with. I just.. want to finally be near you. To see you.”
You will his words to soothe your fears, to convince you that everything really would be okay. It worked well enough to allow you to breathe without trembling.
“You want me to call you to wake you?”
You laugh softly, moving your suitcase from your bed to a spot beside your bedroom door.
“If you’d like. I can tell you what I’m wearing so you’ll be able to pick me out of a crowd.”
“Please tell me it’s a chicken costume.” He laughs, which prompts you to join in.
“No, no. I’m afraid not.. Black sundress. Red shoes. My luggage is red, too.”
“You like black and red, huh?”
“My favorite combination of colors.”
x
Waking up at 3am to make a 6am flight proved to be a lot more difficult than you anticipated, but Sarge called you at the exact same time your alarm went off, offering to stay on speakerphone while you got ready to keep you awake.
“I’ve got to take a shower, Sarge, can I call you back in ten?”
A low rumble comes from his end of the call, a sound somewhere between a hum and a growl. “Of course you can, kitten. I’ll be waitin’ for ya.”
Showering and getting changed took a bit more time than you anticipated, especially when you decided to apply a light amount of makeup as well. Before you even get a chance to call back, he’s calling you.
“You worried me for a minute, had to make sure you didn’t fall asleep or change your mind, y’know..”
You laugh quietly, putting your purse over your shoulder and grabbing your suitcase as you make your way to the front door of the apartment. “I’m actually about to walk out my door now. My cab is waiting downstairs.”
He’s quiet for a few seconds, then his voice comes out in an almost-whisper. “It’s really, finally happening, isn’t it?”
Another laugh leaves you as you exit your apartment and lock the door behind you. “I’ll let you know when I get on the plane.. and I’ll be in New York in less than 7 hours.”
“I’ll see you soon, kitten.”
x
The flight to New York just so happens to go right through a storm, making it the bumpiest most nerve wracking journey you’d been on, ever. By the time you land, your flight is 45 minutes behind schedule and you’re not sure if you want to puke due to the turbulence or anxiety.
You exit the plane on shaky legs, following the signs through the airport, to eventually get you to baggage claim.
You’d been too distracted to even fish your phone out of your purse, until you finally reach the baggage area and see that your cargo had yet to be unloaded thanks to the weather.
Instead of getting out the device that might only cause you more heart palpitations, you decide to take a slow look at the people lingering nearby. There’s an elderly lady, staring at the announcement board as if she can make it change with her mind. There are a few couples clinging to each other, faces buried in necks and chests, fatigue evident in their eyes. There are a few stray men and women, eyes glued to their phones, but nobody stands out to you.
You see your luggage finally coming down the revolving belt and quickly move forward to grab it, but one of the wheels gets caught under the track.
Teetering on the edge of panic, you open your mouth to ask someone, anyone, for help, but a presence behind you and a helping hand over your own stops your voice and heart in their tracks.
“Here, kitten. Let me help you.”
He tugs the large bag from the corral with ease, setting it down beside him.
You’re practically in a daze and can’t seem to raise your eyes to meet his, gaze glued to the beat up doc martens that adorn his feet.
Once his hands are free, they both move to slowly skim up your arms, before one rests on the small of your back and the other cradles your chin, tilting your face up to look at him.
“Hey. It’s just me.”
His breath washes over your face this time, and you blink several times before your attention finally focuses on the sight before you.
He’s beautiful. More beautiful than you could’ve ever imagined.
He’s got pillowy pink lips, hair the color of warm chestnut, and eyes the color of the clearest, bluest parts of the ocean. His hair is long enough to tuck behind his ears with a bit of a curl in the end, and his beard has been tamed into a nice shave. He’s smiling, and you can tell he’s taking in each one of your features, just as you’re taking in his.
You can’t help but feel he looks familiar, but your trance is broken when someone bumps into you from behind, sending you stumbling against his chest. If it weren’t for his hand on your back, you might have toppled over.
His gaze finally leaves your face and he scans the crowd around you, noting how it was only getting busier. “C’mon, kitten. Let’s get out of here.”
Without another word, he grips the handle of your suitcase with one hand and leads you towards the exit with the other, applying gentle pressure to the center of your spine.
The walk to his car is completely silent, as if you’re both too afraid to break it.
Once you’re in his car and out of the airport parking lot, he looks at you for a brief moment.
“It’s weird, isn’t it?” He asks with a soft smile.
You let out a breathless laugh that you didn’t realize you’d been holding in, nodding. “Just a little, I.. I guess I never expected you to be.. so..”
He cocks his eyebrow when you pause, a tiny frown on his face, as if he’s expecting you to say something bad. Warmth floods his cheeks at your next words.
“So pretty.”
You’re just as embarrassed as he is once the thought leaves your mouth and you drop your gaze to your lap, cursing yourself in your head for being so forward.
“Well..” He hesitantly moves his hand across the center console, placing his fingers over yours where they lie in your lap. “You’re very pretty, too.. for the record.”
He gives your hand a little squeeze, which you return, flashing him a small smile, too.
