hey, just found your blog and love your stuff. do you have any hcs about the long walk boys and how they react to getting sick/being taken care of when sick?
the long walk boys - sick hc's
including ray garraty, pete mcvries, art baker, hank olson, billy stebbins, richard harkness, collie parker, and gary barkovitch. gn!reader.
i love these goddamn boys
ray garraty
gets pouty as hell when he's sick. his big brown eyes look so sad and watery it hurts to see. he's fine, of course, just overdramatic as shit. really doesn't mean to get you sick too but he can't go half an hour without kissing you, he swears it'll kill him. bake some warm cookies and make some soup and he'll be the happiest boy around.
will not let you leave his side, seriously. he whines and pulls you closer until you're so close together you're afraid you'll become one lolol. his cheeks and nose get so red its adorkable! you spend all your time cuddling and rewatching old m*a*s*h reruns until he feels better. buries his face in the crook of your neck as he dozes off, arms wrapped tightly around your waist :') in awe of how lucky he got with you.
pete mcvries
i think pete has a really strong immune system so he rarely gets sick, but when he does he tries to play it cool. if you try to baby him he'll make fun of you for making a spectacle but deep down he really does appreciate it. you're just too goddamn sweet!
the type to actively try and get you sick so you can suffer together LOL he'll be sicker than a dog and trying to kiss you just like normal, if not more than normal. you'll be squealing trying to push him away and he'll just pepper your face in big ol kisses, and its so hard to stay mad at him that you can't complain. you'll both end up sick on the couch, watching comfort movies and eating soup :3
art baker
while art may get sick, you'd hardly know unless you were as good at picking up on his mannerisms as you are. growing up in the south he's totally used to the pollen constantly fucking with his allergies lol. still, it's hard to hide a stuffy nose!!
he won't complain at you taking care of him though, he fuckin' loooves it. he thanks the lord every day for sending him someone as compassionate as you, you're his guardian angel. looks at you with the stupidest lovesick smile, you have to resist the urge to kiss him a billion times. just the most lovely boy in the universe. will absolutely turn around and give you the same treatment if you were sick, wouldn't even think twice about it.
hank olson
gets big mad when he's sick but is also an absolute champ about it. could have the flu and he'd still be truckin' on like he's fine. that being said, he'd be up for having you take care of him lolol. as long as no one else finds out about it... then he'd deny it like his life depends on it.
completely stubborn when it comes to taking medicine because it "tastes like dog shit." so you'll have to get creative with how you get him to take it. after the first few times you sneak it into his food he figures you out and then gets pissy. "i don't need that shit! i'm fuckin' fine!" and then immediately spirals into a coughing fit afterwards, and you have to grab his inhaler. "what was that you said about being fine?" and you swear you can see the faintest smile on his lips. absolutely lives for a hot bubble bath.
billy stebbins
like pete, billy hardly gets sick. but when he does, its BAAAD (as we've seen). he's straight up miserable but refuses to admit that he's miserable! tries to fight you on taking care of him soo hard, swears he's fine until its undeniable.
his momma used to make him this soup every time he was sick, so of course you got the recipe from her. tries to hide how hard he's smiling every time you make it but you know he appreciates it!! once he's done being a big baby about it he holds you in his strong arms and whispers into your hair, "y'know how much i love you, right?"
richard harnkess
poor thing has the worst immune system imaginable, pretty much has a constant cold LOLL but he's a champ about it! won't object to you taking care of him or anything, he loooves it. crawls into your lap and falls asleep like a cat.
accidentally ends up getting you sick too cuz he just loves you soo much he has to kiss you! especially when you're treating him so gently, you're like an angel in disguise he swears. rests his head on your chest to listen to your heartbeat, says it eases his headache. overall just the sweetest boy... even more outwardly lovey when he's sick.
collie parker
lowkey doesn't understand if you try to take care of him while he's sick, confused as to why you're making such a fuss over it. its just a minor inconvenience for him. if it makes you feel better though he'll let you pamper him, even grows to enjoy it.
"really babe, i'm fine." and "if it'll make you happy, i guess." but you catch him smiling like a fool when you brush through his hair and massage his sore muscles :) he just loves you so much! makes fun of you for how gentle you're being tho, "i'm not made of glass." and rolls his eyes, but it makes his heart swell knowing there's somebody out there other than his mom who cares that much about him.
gary barkovitch
absolutely PISSED when he gets sick, gets all pouty 'n shit. you eventually just have to grab him and pull him into your lap to calm him down. "everybody gets sick, gary, you'll be okay i swear." but he hardly listens. thinks getting sick is for dumbos.
you really do have to fight him in order to baby him, he doesn't think he deserves it. probably tears up. just hold him real tight and don't let go, he'll fall asleep in no time. for some reason i feel like he hates soup so he absolutely fusses when you try to feed it to him, same thing with medicine. "i don't need none of that shit! that's for weak idiots." but after a while he gets tired of fighting it and gives in. extra sleepy when he's sick, so be prepared for him to be a clingy bastard. refuses to kiss you cuz then he'll be responsible for getting you sick, and he'd be too mad at himself if that happened.
or: tlw boys’ reaction to you flashing them in the middle of an argument.
characters: ray garraty, pete mcvries, gary barkovitch, billy stebbins, hank olson, richard harkness, collie parker
content warning: this is purely based on a joke many couples do and all the guys are obviously more than okay with it, barkovitch deserves his own warning, nothing too spicy just fun, just guys being guys <3
ray garraty,
an other day, an other you stealing one of ray’s shirts because they “are all so comfy”… but it happens to be ray’s favorite shirt. so when he sees you in the kitchen, an apple in hand, wearing pretty much nothing but your panties and his damn shirt after he spent thirty minutes looking for it… he’s a bit mad, you know. he tells you how you should ask him, because even if you’re super hot wearing his things, he sometimes needs them. and because he hasn’t slept well and had a bit of a rough day, his tone gets a bit mean… and you just lift your shirt. not a single word leaves his mouth as he stares at your breast, mouth slightly open, the tiny bit of anger he had in his mind evaporating into thin air. how unfortunate for him to be a tit guy…
pete mcvries,
that was worth the shot… but that isn’t working with him. but the thing is, pete can’t be mad at you for too long… because you’re his everything and it’s just too hard for him to be angry with you. so when, one night, the argument keeps going because none of you wants to let the other win, you get rid of your shirt, right in front of him. and that man lets out a sneer, because he can’t believe you’d think he’s that easy to get. what he does, on the other hand, is grab his own shirt to throw it at you gently, with a roll of his eyes and a “get your ass to bed, it’s late and we’re not going to sleep angry with each other”.
gary barkovitch,
arguments with barkovitch happen quite often, and it’s no surprise. with a personality like his, and if you add jealousy and inferiority complex to the mix, he’s just like a match waiting to set a fire. and it doesn’t help that this man is quite a freak himself… so it doesn’t even surprise him to see you lift your shirt when he’s literally pissed at you for doing the most trivial thing — probably just talking to a random guy, or a friend. worst, he instantly loosens his belt so his pants could fall on the floor, lowering his briefs to flash you in return — hell, if two can play that game, he will always win.
billy stebbins,
an other member of the tough club, who isn’t falling for that shit. it’s not that he doesn’t love the sight of you almost bare for him… it’s just that he’s too much of a gentleman to take advantage of the situation. so when you’re just standing there without your shirt on, he instantly turns around and crosses his arms against his chest, definitely a bit flustered even if he doesn’t want to admit it “I’m okay with arguing with you without looking at you, you know” — and just by the now calm tone of his voice, you just know he’s not that mad anymore.
hank olson,
what can i say, it always works. that poor man sees a pair of boobs and suddenly, his brain stops working. but unlike the others, he’s definitely doing something — and that is bolting towards you because he can’t help but stare and touch. and he could complain, you know… tell you it’s not okay to use his weakness against him, that it’s not fair… but the thing is he might be into this just as much as you, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. and if that means he has to piss you off a bit to get to see you like this again… trust him, he will do it.
richard harkness,
arguing with richard is… complicated. he’s so smart and composed that he will always find the right things to say, and it’s a bit annoying, you see? so when he’s in the middle of a whole exhibit about how you’re wrong for not sleeping enough at night, you just lift your shirt above your breast. poor richard’s face turns red as he’s now stuttering, his eyes everywhere but on you. he can’t even think properly anymore, unable to focus on his own thoughts when he knows you’re standing there, half bare.
collie parker,
collie is one hell of a guy, and there’s no such thing as arguing with him because that man will communicate with you in the most green flag way. but it’s just that, tonight, he doesn’t want to watch that stupid movie you already made him watch like ten times… so you try your luck by using that bodypart of yours he loves the most. collie raises a brow, making a few steps until he’s right in front of you, his eyes locked on your face. and when you’re just about to think you finally won, he’s grabbing the back of your thighs, throwing you over his shoulder just like a damn potato bag. you’re whining and wriggling, but all he does is smack your butt in return, walking to your shared bedroom.
can you do a scenario of just calling the tlw boys hot to their face thanks xxx
Everybody’s here!
The Long Walk, calling them hot to their face

Dividers by @saradika-graphics
Now id usually say Gn!reader, but this one really isn’t. So i guess think of it as the reader is one gender but also all genders at the same time. Modern au/tlw setting. This’ll be a mix of jokiness and actual headcanons, I’m just always so tired when I get actual time to write. Anyways enjoy…
Ray Garraty
Ray flusters, no matter which gender you are, this will render him silent even just for a second. If the two of you are dating he’ll recover quickly and begin giving you cheesy compliments. If you’re not, though?
He doesn’t really know how to respond after that. It’ll be worse for (book) Garraty if you’re a guy, because he genuinely does not have a grasp on his own sexuality so he may just brush you off and internally have a gay crisis.
After that he may ignore you, and try to avoid you as much as possible at least until he can make up his mind about you.
A part of him kinda wants to fight you, because, yknow, internalized homophobia. another part kinda wants to kiss you. And that results in him awkwardly staring at the back of your head or just at you when he knows you’re not watching.
If you want to talk to him after, you’d have to make the first move, he will absolutely pretend that it didn’t happen and if you bring it up again and try to compliment him again, he’ll fluster and get angry and walk away from you.
If you bring it up and again and try to console him by telling him you were just joking, he’ll get much more awkward about it, he’ll try to joke back but it’ll fall flat, cause he’s kinda sad inside that you were joking and he’s also kinda confused why and angry at himself for taking it so seriously.
Peter McVries
Peter “Maybe that’s why I saved your ass. Maybe I’m queer for you” McVries and Peter “Would you let me jerk you off?” McVries will hit right back at you.
No matter what gender you are or aren’t this’ll turn from a conversation to a debate over who’s the hottest real quick if you let it. He may not take it that seriously if your tone while saying it is light enough. If you seem more (what’s the fucking word?) genuine(?) when you say it he’ll still compliment you back but less jokey, like he will be sweeter and more choosy with his words. If that makes any sense.
If this isn’t on the long walk and the two of you are dating, he will just start kissing you, full freaky ah French style. doesn’t matter if the two of you are with friends, doesn’t matter if you’re at a party, doesn’t matter if you’re in the fucking shower. It’s happening.
He might not do it in front of his or your parents though, one because he just doesn’t really do pda in front of his parents, and two because he kinda wants your parents to like him.
Art Baker
I’m American, but I’m struggling to write southerners without sounding like a British guy who hasn’t stepped foot across the Atlantic
If you two aren’t together, and he doesn’t like you, he’ll just thank you and then walk away.
If you two are together, it’ll be like that one scene in the legally blonde musical, the one before serious where Elle and Warner are just going ‘no, you’ ‘No, you!’ Over a compliment.
If he likes you, and you aren’t together, he might compliment you back if he feels like it, but it really depends on how comfortable he is in his position of your friend. So he likes you, and the two of you are friends, he will just self-consciously brush it off as a joke.
If you say it in front of his friends, he will get teased mercilessly by them. He’s a very polite man, so he might never say it back but he would try to compliment you over something physical, like your eyes or hair or literally just anything but calling you hot back.
Hank Olson
Olson will take as a joke rather than a genuine compliment and try to make you uncomfortable with how much he flirts with you after.
He may wake up in a cold sweat a few weeks later realizing you were being genuine after.
There’s no real reason for him to actually fluster over it, because he will not take it seriously at all. Even if you try to convince him you’re joking he won’t believe you. Kissing him could only do so much to convince him.
He’s not really that insecure about himself to just not believe he isn’t worthy of your affection, because he knows he is, it’s just that he’s unable to take affection or pda seriously.
And he will not understand if you get upset about it, just try to wait until he’s too tired to crack jokes or just show affection during aftercare because he’ll be too exhausted to try and make a joke about it.
Gary Barkovitch
If you’re a woman, or at least female presenting (idk if that’s the right term but that’s what we’re going with), he’ll be completely flustered and amazed. A beautiful amazing woman thinks he is hot? His Brain has never even considered the idea. Genuinely he is one of the most insecure people you will ever meet.
Despite that, he really won’t know how to react. If you two are in a relationship he’ll be less panicky about it, and just try to compliment you back and panic half-way through a pickup line. Just smile at him, it’ll make his day.
But if you aren’t dating? He may get paranoid that you’re making fun of him, especially if he already likes you. When that happens he may start ignoring you after a little few awkward seconds.
To stop that you’re going to have to confront him and so that whole tropey panicked confession will happen. And hopefully it’ll end all cute with a first date at his favorite cafe or something.
If you’re a guy?? Brain short circuits immediately, he doesn’t just think you’re trying to make fun of him, he’s immediately going to think you know his deep and terrible secret (he likes boys), and are going to try and hurt him over it.
It’ll take a lot to try and convince him differently, especially because of how much he’s internalized when it came to hating himself and just queerness in general. If he does finally accept that you’re being genuine, you will now have a Barkovitch attached to you.
He’s going to follow you everywhere like a puppy, it’s almost as cute as it is concerning. He’ll treat you like a lifeline, the first person he’s met that actually likes him despite his ‘flaws’.
Eventually he’ll realize he likes you and maybe it’ll all end well. (I’m ninety % sure this is ass, but I’m too tired to rewrite)
Collie Parker
Im sorry this is kinda short, ill write for Parker more in the future tho cause he is one of my favorite characters
He knows, he definitely knows about that fatal face card, so his reaction kind of depends on how he feels about you.
If you two are dating he’ll probably just say I know, and laugh if you roll your eyes or something and tell you’re hot back.
If you’re not and he likes you, it’ll be a different story
If the two of you are friends he will probably just interpret it as a joke rather than flirting, it’s not insecurity (because who’d be insecure while looking like that?) but more just he’s just kind of chill. One of the only boys that acts normally around someone he’s into.
If not, and you’re like at best one of his friend’s friends, one that he’s into, he may take it more seriously but this wouldn’t lead into a relationship. It’d probably take like a conversation or something (idk?? Bro I’m always exhausted when writing)
Billy Stebbins
Stebbins. Uh, I don’t really know how to do this for him. But I’ll try.
If this was on the walk, even if he liked you or not, he’d probably just ignore you. He’s too busy locking in to really care.
If you were in a sort of relationship on the walk, he wouldn’t really react either, but he would respond to you, maybe with some cryptic shit, probably not a compliment though
If this wasn’t on the walk, and like, in college, he’d probably also ignore you.
A relationship off the walk would probably have the same result, maybe with more quiet physical affection (can’t wait to do love languages hcs)
Richard Harkness
Oh, Harkness. Sweet, sweet, Harkness. He might die if you do this on the walk.
He is down bad, no matter the relationship status, he blushes and stutters like a Wattpad love interest. Might accidentally stop walking in his shock and get himself a warning.
You might accidentally kill him if he’s on his third warning.
In the modern au, if you two are dating, he’ll just melt, like a fucking dog. Your friend group will fake vomit after you compliment him (and if you do it in front of them, which I don’t recommend)
Scramm
*Insanely sick* “Aw, Cathy, you’re prettier than I am”
But anyways, the two factors at play are: whether the two of you are dating, and whether you’re on the walk or not.
Now, I love Cathy and Scramm, so the modern au is kind of a poly with the two of them but just more focused about Scramm.
But on the walk, it’s kind of him cheating on Cathy but not really realizing that being w/ you is is counted as cheating. Not because he’s dumb but because he’s kinda oblivious
Anyways, on the walk, he will probably just react normally, acting flattered and calling you pretty back. When you’re not in a relationship he’d pretty much react the same but just refrain from complimenting you back, maybe just a respectful ‘you too’ or smth
Off the walk, in the modern au, he’ll probably just brush you off if you’re not in a relationship.
In a relationship, with both you and Cathy. He will be a lot more receptive, with confidence, he will compliment you back, might start being more physically affectionate after it.
Pearson
Ooc probably
Pearson, he’s very jokey. A nerd, yes, but less of a stuttering nerd like Harkness, and more of a freaky nerd.
More or less, he kind of tries to joke but flusters and it kind of falls flat. If you are receptive to that he’ll try again and it might end up being better because he gets more confident.
It’s cute.
His friends will tease him to hell and back, so he may be a little resentful of you for it. He’s going to get over it soon, and will just start attaching himself to you, not really in the Barkovitch way, but in like a Harkness way.
Abraham
Ooc probably
Abe kind of jokes back at you, with some playful jokes and flirts back. There’s not much to say about him, because there won’t be much difference between him on the walk and the modern au and in a relationship and not.
He may be more willing to flirt back when you’re out of a relationship because he will automatically just think you’re joking.
Still, he won’t realize you were flirting until months later, even when you’re in a relationship, cold sweat in the night and everything.
Gribble
Gribble is a Freak, you know this, I know this, we all know this.
However, on the walk, he may not be that receptive to that. The walk, despite the ‘fun’ some of the group can have, is still a death walk, and he’s very stressed and panicked, so he may just get annoyed with you, relationship or not.
Off the walk, however, he is incredibly receptive to this. Will start immediately flirting back. Match his freak and he’ll stare at you with literal heart eyes.
You will give one of your friends nausea with all your freaky shit, swear to god.
All your friends and his friends hate you for dating him.
Matching each others freak, 10/10 relationship
Rank
Rank, poor, poor sweetheart Rank.
I don’t think he’s a nervous person, more or so a socially awkward one. And depending on the type of relationship the two of you share, his reaction will obviously vary.
Dating means he will be more comfortable with compliments and affection from you, and so this will probably not make him uncomfortable, but he will probably be more nervous. He won’t try to compliment you back but he may attempt to try and be more physically affectionate instead of talking.
If you’re not dating, he will get incredibly uncomfortable and try to stay away from you. He won’t really be that interested in talking to you unless you try to apologize for making you uncomfortable.
Tressler
In a college au I imagine that Tressler would be the guy rooming with Scramm and convincing him to buy his overpriced mixtapes every time he makes a new one.
“I know. Anyways. You want to listen to my mixtape? It costs about twenty or something - hey where are you going?!”
Percy
Percy is my favorite of the background walkers, if and when I do genuinely write for him i will make him probably very ooc
*So homeschooled he faints and then dies*
Ewing
“You know I’m dying, right? How is this hot to you?”
Zuck
“Shut up, I’m trying to concentrate.”
Tubbins
“Whore.”
“I-“
“Of Babylon. Whore of Babylon.”
Davidson
I forgot who this guy was 💀
Uh, he dies I guess
✨Bonus ✨
Mrs Garraty
She’ll be sooo flattered. She’ll be swooning and fake fanning herself like in those old movies.
Ginny wouldn’t call you hot back but might call you one of those old classy words (gorgeous, marvelous, I’m so fucking tired, … breathtaking). This is all for her after her husband disappears.
Before? She won’t be as openly flattered by it, but just know, she likes you. Don’t do in front her guy husband (Jim or William or what’s his face). She will take it as you trying to make fun of her, because she’s kinda one of those ladies who sees intimacy as a completely private thing (despite the fact that being with you is technically cheating on her husband 💀)
she doesn’t like making her relationships something she puts on display.
But anyways.
Do this in front of Ray. Really I dare you to do it. Let’s pretend a moment this is like a year after his father was squaded. You’re this random guy walking into his life. Spending time with his mom, and treating him like a baby.
He will fucking hate you so bad it’s not even funny. He may try to bite you if he’s young enough. If he’s older he’ll be less physically aggressive. If you’re a woman he’ll be less upset with you and more with his mom, because yknow the whole Jimmy thing. I don’t think he’d understand why he’s so upset with her but on the inside he’ll be bitterly resentful that she just trots around with you on her arm while he wasn’t aloud to just be with Jimmy once
(I live for repressed bisexual disaster Ray Garraty, he’s like this bug im keeping in a jar)

Ray Garraty
Ray Garraty would actually be the sweetest boy ever, and similarly to Harkness, he admires you almost like he’s lovesick. You guys met in the dining hall after you sat with him one day to eat breakfast, and very quickly you were introduced to all of his friends (and very quickly they had to listen to Ray talk about you whenever he could get the chance). After a lot of encouragement from his friends, just like in a cheesy rom-com he’d ask you out after breakfast one day.
“Hey.. uhm I was wondering if you’d like to.. go on a date… to the movies with me?” Ray stuttered out with his arms folded across his chest.
“Yeah, yeah I would Ray” You smiled warmly and he felt himself relax and his face warmed up as he admired your smile, before mentally scolding himself for forgetting he was standing directly in front of you.
“Fuck… sorry… great!” He stumbled nervously as you both made your way back to the group where Ray was met with a few pats on the back from the Musketeers.
Ray was raised to treat a girl right, he ironed his shirt before heading out, picked you up some flowers that he thought were pretty from the store and it's safe to say you were smitten (I mean who wouldn’t be??) He let you choose the film and bought you some popcorn to share. As the film began you both reached into the popcorn, hands gently brushing which caused you to both look away sheepishly, but neither wanting to move away. Ray didn’t even watch the film, he had no idea what was going on, he was overcome with nerves to wrap his arm around. Naturally, he resorted to the awkward ‘yawn and wrap his arm around technique’ and luckily for him, it worked. You moved closer to him, leaning your head on his shoulder, and to him, everything was as it should be.
Pete McVries
This man has CHARM. He oozes it, it practically pours out of him. But he only had one item on his agenda, charming you. You met in a music room on campus, you were trying to find somewhere quiet and Pete was playing small sections of song on the piano. You inquisitively went over and Pete began trying to teach you chords and notes on a piano and from then, he began to be drawn to you, trying his hardest to find a way perfect enough to ask you out. One dreary afternoon on campus, Pete found you at the very same piano, playing through a sheet of music. He watched with a sense of pride and overwhelming feelings of nerves. Now was the perfect time to ask you out. He rested his hands on your shoulders shaking you slightly as you smiled, feeling accomplished.
“Look at you, playing sheet music now, I’m impressed!” Pete said, now sharing the piano stool with you. You blushed slightly at the closeness of the two of you.
“What can I say, I’m a quick learner, plus I have a good teacher.” You smiled, taking your sheet music off of the stand and shoving it in your bag. Pete gently pulls you back and sighs.
“Yknow, I was planning on going to this open mic and slam poetry night tomorrow on the other side of town, I was wondering if you’d like to join me on a date?”
You smiled, you knew how much Pete enjoyed these nights away from the campus and you were overjoyed that he had asked you to join him. “Of course, what's the dress code?” You asked, nudging Pete teasingly.
Your evening with Pete was exactly how you imagined, he was captivated by every single performance and would chat with you about what you thought about each performance. You were both easily the best dressed people there, almost treating it like a night at the opera with Pete in a button up shirt and smart trousers. Pete didn’t care though, he thought you looked perfect. You walked home, Pete’s Jacket over your shoulders, hand in hand, desperate to spend more time together, before Pete gently pulled you into a kiss as he left you at your dorm.
Hank Olson
Struggles with planning absolutely anything romantic, so would 100% go to Art for advice because he wanted to have the perfect date. Your feelings for slow-burn, initially when you met in the Environmental society, you thought Hank was slightly obnoxious. However, the more time you spent together your feelings developed into attraction, understanding his sense of humour that you’d initially misread. Hank on the other hand? He was desperate to impress you. He picked his own flowers to give you (as suggested by Art) to give you when he asked you out.
You took the flowers, your face was now crimson as Hank rambled on about telling you something important.
“So , I really like you a lot. I think you’re cool and yeah” Hank spoke quickly as you nodded reassuringly. “And yeah? I mean I like you too Hank.”
“So anyway, like I was saying, wanna go on a date with me?” He asked calmly and you nodded in response. (He would 100% go around the nearest corner and fist-bump the air and message Art straight away).
Olson would take you to an aquarium for a first date. But of course, it would be an environmentally friendly aquarium that took in rescued species, and he would know EVERY SINGLE FACT about EVERY SINGLE FISH. You’d happily walk around, arms linked, pointing out each and every fish and letting Hank yap happily away. In the gift shop as you sifted through books, Hank returned to you, having adopted a rescued seal and carried over a seal teddy in a box for you both to ‘co-parent’. You got back to your dorm and hugged Hank lovingly after a perfect date, he’d ‘done it all right’ he thought.
Art Baker
Art would absolutely hit it off instantly with you in classes and after that you would be absolutely inseparable. He respected you and you respected him and you both got on perfectly. But, it would be clear that you both developed feelings for each other but neither of you wanted to bring it up in case you misread the situation or hurt each other. One day when you were sitting in the dining hall after dinner, Art decided to bring up his feelings.
“I need to know, hand on heart, what’s going on between us? I like you and it seems like you like me? I promise I’ll treat you right, let me take you out on a date.” He admitted suddenly, you could see the emotion in his eyes.
You nodded. “I like you too, I just didn’t want to ruin anything that we had already, but if you’re willing to treat me right, a few dates couldn’t hurt” You said with a warm smile, as Art put his arms around your shoulders.
Your date was simple, but it was absolutely perfect. You took a walk around a nature park and stopped for coffee along the way (although I believe that Art is definitely a hot chocolate drinker, with cream and marshmallows). You wandered aimlessly, hand in hand, chatting away, picture perfect. After Art walked you back to your dorm, you lay on your bed and realised you were absolutely meant to be.
Gary Barkovitch
You met Barkovitch whilst wandering around campus in the early days after moving to college. You were exploring what was around you, and Barkovitch was completely lost (though he wouldn’t admit that to you). You could see he was lost and wandered over and warmly offered to help him find his way, and reluctantly (and very nervously) he accepted. From that point on you became good friends and Barkovitch found himself absolutely smitten by your personality and charm. It took a while for either of your feelings to come to light, but, just as your first interaction, it was you who initiated the first date.
‘Gary, I was wondering if you wanted to go out tomorrow and visit that cat cafe in town?’ You asked nervously, hoping that your friend really did like you back and that these reciprocated feelings weren’t just in your head.
‘Yeah, sure.’ He nodded, always appreciating your company and the time you spent together no matter what you were doing, it was just difficult for him to admit.
‘But, I was wondering if it could be a date, like… romantically”. Gary froze, his face flushing crimson before instinctively fiddling with his sleeves whilst looking around at the floor.
‘Sure, okay.’ He admitted, his heart fluttered, he couldn’t believe that you, of all people, felt that way about him.
Naturally, recognising Barkovitch’s love for cats you knew he would have a brilliant time at a cat cafe. You guys spent a few hours surrounded by the cutest cats ever and spent most of your time chatting away about college, friends and of course the adorable cats. Barkovitch was very timid and reluctant to pet any of the cats initially but once he was comfortable, he was happily chatting about his mee-maw and how much she would love to see the cats. When you began petting a gorgeous tabby cat in your lap, Barkovitch snuck a few pictures to remember how much fun he had on this first date and it was safe to say it went swimmingly. After walking you back to your dorm, Barkovitch very awkwardly offered you a hug to which you accepted and boldly asked ‘So when’s our next date?’ The boy was in AWE.
Collie Parker
Collie was the one to approach you after class one day. He was a head strong guy but he was really ashamed to admit that he was really struggling with this new module and knew you would be able to help. Initially it started in the library but you began meeting in your room, a cup of coffee each (Collie Parker is a black coffee drinker for sure) surrounded by fairy lights and photos on your wall, which made Collie fall even harder. After a few of these sessions in the comfort of your room, Collie mustered enough courage to ask you out.
“So, after I start acing my classes, what are we then? Do we still study together?” Collie asked, leaning back on your desk chair, whilst you were sat crosslegged on your bed, in the soft glow of the fairy lights, Collie looked stunning.
“We could do! I enjoy hanging out with you, even if it is studying till my head aches sometimes.” You admitted, unaware of Collie’s feelings brewing.
“Fuck it, I really like you, can I take you out on a date?” Collie blurted out in his usual headstrong way, feeling vulnerable to the emotions he’d just put on the table.
“Are you paying? If so then yes.” You smirked teasingly.
Collie believed deeply in being a gentleman and being chivalrous on a first date was his number one priority. He had already remembered your favourite restaurant and had booked a table for you both. He picked you up, dressed in a shirt and trousers and a leather jacket, true Collie Parker style. The evening was perfect, it made a change to chatting away in your room to be able to sit with Collie, romantically. When you left, it was dark and naturally, Collie insisted on walking you home, leaving you at your door with a kiss on your cheek. Collie Parker knows how to treat a person right (pls send him my way).
Richard Harkness
MOST LOVESICK MAN EVER. You both met helping out with the student magazine for the campus and let's just say, it was love at first sight for Harkness. To him, you were angelic and he adored spending time with you and chatting about the magazine, even sometimes spending late nights in the library researching and writing. One day, his feelings for you simply overwhelmed him and he asked you out unexpectedly.
‘What do you think of this font for the title? Is it bold enough?” You asked, swivelling around on the spinny chair, cracking open a Dr Pepper from your bag.
“Willyougoonadatewithme?” Harkness spluttered out before taking a breath. “Will you uhm… go on a date… with me? It’s okay if not I unders-”
Harkness was cut off by a loud shout of “YES!” and vigorous nodding from you. He let out a quiet giggle as others around you shushed you with a wide smile across his face.
Harkness would 100% take you on a pottery painting date (I lowk want this so bad). You both are very creative and it seems like the perfect date! You both paint bowls, you go into the afternoon with a design in mind. Harkness however, completely freehands it, and aces it. After a few hours of painting, you head back to yours and order pizza and continue your conversations about your favourite comics. As Harkness leaves, he embraces you in a warm hug, kissing your head and thanking you endlessly for an amazing day.
Billy Stebbins
Stebbins was someone who was in some ways, similar to Barkovitch. He struggled to act on his emotions, but that doesn’t mean he’s numb to them. In fact, he feels an attraction to you that almost overwhelms him. You met in a coffee shop near campus, Stebbins was sitting on his own munching through some jelly sandwiches and you were looking for a free seat to enjoy your coffee. He gestured that the seat was free and your first interactions were almost seemingly strained, so you were surprised when he asked for your number. Over time, you became close with Stebbins and understood him better than anyone else which only made you more attractive to him. One afternoon after classes, you were both walking across campus when Stebbins practically confessed his love to you.
“Can I ask you something, it's kinda important” Stebbins asked as he wandered over and leaned against an old oak tree. “Sure, what’s up?” You responded as you joined him.
“I really like you a lot, romantically, you’re kind, funny, and absolutely stunning and I’d like to take you out on a date if that’s okay with you?” Stebbins admitted sheepishly, causing a smile and a crimson blush to spread across your face.
You nodded “I’d love to, and thank you” You smiled brightly as you continued your walk across campus, and it was safe to say, Stebbins was ecstatic.
Your date with Stebbins was to an old fashioned fairground and he treated you like a true gentleman. He was terrified but he plucked up the courage after a while to hold your hand as you wandered around. Of course, Stebbins would absolutely want to win you a stuffed animal and he wouldn’t rest until he won you the biggest one he could get. After walking you to your dorm, Stebbins left you at your door, but not without a kiss on the cheek.
The Long Walk jealously headcannons every character x gn reader
(Notes: this is for @maudrey02! An og follower🥹 cause if you were there when i used moodboard edits as my borders ur an oggg frfrr i love and appreciate all of yall frrr)
(Notes two: fill ___ with either boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever u r! Also posting the olson smut alphabet tomorrow after that ill be finished with collie’s version)
(Daily question: which character do you think has the worst jealousy issues?)
Ray Garraty
He is convinced he is everything but jealous; he thinks of himself as one of those “chill” boyfriends.
So the first time he starts getting jealous, he tries to deny it. He calls himself dramatic and tries to reaffirm to himself that you’d never do anything like that.
He knows, and he’s not worried about your eyes wandering; he’s worried about the other guys you have around. Ray swears he’s seen guys ogle at you when you guys are out.
When he walks away and comes back from the bathroom at a party, he always finds a guy talking to you. It drives him insane.
Ray sulked for the rest of the party, and you had to reassure Ray that you weren’t interested. Which he knew but still.
After that, though, Ray calms down, and even years later, the guy flirting with you becomes an inside joke between you two.
Peter McVries
At first he’s flattered. It doesn’t make him angry that people flirt with you; you’re attractive, and it’s bound to happen. If anything, it makes him glad he got you before anybody else could.
But after a while the flattering feeling wears off, and he starts getting annoyed.
Peter isn't the type to outright confront the person flirting with you if he thinks they're not being malicious. He’ll make a passive-aggressive comment, and usually the other will take a hint.
Peter says he’d never think you’d cheat, but the idea creeps up on him in the back of his mind.
Once you affirm him, though, he’s back to all smiles and jokes.
Hank Olson
He’ll speak his mind the most out of all of the musketeers.
He doesn’t think it’s cute, doesn’t find it flattering, and will outright call out the person if he has the slightest feeling they know you’re with him.
When it comes to you having guy friends, he really doesn't care. He's had girls he was friends with before, and nothing happened.
The easiest way to cheer Olson up when he’s moping is to give him attention. He’ll forget it even happened.
As long as you still think he’s the funniest guy in the world, Olson will be okay.
Arthur Baker
Arthur really doesn’t notice it at first. He likes to think the best of everybody and is iffy with thinking somebody is flirting with you if it isn't painfully obvious.
He eyes the guy laughing a little too long at your jokes. The way they look you up and down and keep subtly touching your arm.
When Art finally notices, he steps between the two of you and makes an excuse to take you away.
He’ll tell you the guy is flirting if he thinks you didn’t know and offers to take you home if you want to leave.
You don't need to coax him or anything, but he will ask for a kiss and get all giddy when you give him one.
Richard Harkness
He gets upset and flustered; he’s never been put in this situation before. You’re his first serious relationship; he can’t let somebody else steal you away.
At first Harkness puts distance between you and the stranger; whatever personal questions the guy is asking, Harkness answers for you, giving them vague answers. Any smart person would take that as a sign and leave.
When they didn't take the hint, Harkness flat out said that you were his ____. That’d made the guy quickly apologize and leave.
If you thank Harkness for stepping in, he gets all shy and acts like it was no problem.
Billy Stebbins
You have to be one stupid person to be flirting with Stebbins’ ___. Stebbins is already naturally intimidating, but he can be scarier.
Stebbins has never publicly announced he was your boyfriend, but it was obvious, and most people knew he was dating you.
His jealousy becomes noticeable after a few minutes. He is quieter than he usually is and glares at the guy.
Not long after that, Stebbins steps in, and the other person backs up.
He’s a little annoyed you didnt notice it. And kinda assumes you did it to make him jealous.
Stebbins doesn't stay mad at you for long, though.
Gary Barkovitch
He gets in his feelings the most out of everybody.
Barkovitch says he’d lose his mind if somebody flirted with you. Joking that he’d fight anybody who gets too close to you.
After telling the person off, you two go home early. Barkovitch isn’t mad at you at all, and you know that he’s just sad.
After telling the person off, you two go home early. Barkovitch isn’t mad at you at all, and you know that he’s just sad.
You can reassure Barkovitch all you want, but he really needs to tell himself something for him to believe; otherwise, he’ll continue to feel bad about himself.
After a week of self-doubt, Barkovitch pulls his head out of the ground and is happy again.
Collie Parker
Like Olson, he’s quick to action when it comes to firmly stating he’s your boyfriend.
Flirting with others is something he doesn’t play. It's not flattering to have some guy flirting with you; it's humiliating.
Collie firmly says that any guy who flirts on campus with you knows what they're doing and to not treat it like some accident.
I mean, how could anybody miss that you’re dating him? He gave you his old jacket that has his initials engraved into it.
He’s not annoyed for long; over the next few days, he jokes about wearing those couple of shirts that are like “he/she’s mine ➡️.”

a/n: Part two will include Harkness, Garraty, Baker and Barkovitch! tagging my wonderful bestie @risretrograde for helping me with this and letting me talk about the god-awful names of some sex positions.
dividers by: @/strangergraphics
Collie Parker:
Lotus, missionary of all different kinds, and 69
Collie wants to be close and have that sweet connection with you. He wants to be able to see the look on your face as it contorts with pleasure.
He’s big on giving you lots of kisses, pushing your hair out of your face, cupping your cheeks as he thrusts so deeply into you.
Another favorite thing of his about these types of positions is that he can wrap your legs around him, pulling him even deeper and closer to you.
He’s also a big fan of throwing your legs over his shoulders and pounding into you recklessly. He has a hard time lasting whenever he does this.
If you want to be on top, he won’t mind. As long as you’re close enough for him to kiss and touch. He wants to be so fucking close.
Sometimes he’ll want to do doggy or prone bone, but he’s much more interested in fucking you in ways that allow him to witness every little noise and reaction you make.
With 69, it allows him to enjoy the taste of you while you blow him. Collie is actually pretty weak for blowjobs, but he doesn’t try to ask for them too much. He’s not a greedy man(just kidding, when it comes to you, he can be pretty damn greedy about your affections)
Catch him just watching his cock get swallowed up by your little hole. He gets turned on being able to see that, and it literally drives him insane to see how you take him so well.
Hank Olson:
You on top, anything involving being tied up, spooning
Hank does have a good amount of energy he needs to let out sometimes. So he enjoys having you on top where he can just fuck up into you, making you moan just for him. There’s a sort of high he gets from this.
Sometimes he gets too much into his own head for his own good, so you may need to bring in some sensory aids. Tie him up, touch him all over, even blindfold him. Hank isn’t against this, and in fact, it helps him build stamina.
Something he really enjoys is when you’re all sleepy and he’s just come to bed, and he can spread your legs and slide into you from behind. He enjoys being able to hold you close like this.
With you on top, he gets to watch you bounce on him. It drives him crazy sometimes when you use him for your own pleasure, because he knows he’s the one making you feel this good.
If you’re the one tied up, he may get a little too excited for his own good. Seeing you there, helpless on the bed, it’s going to make his cock throb with need. He’ll climb on top of you and tease you endlessly, only to blow his load quickly by the time he fucks you.
Hank likes missionary too. He likes pushing your thighs up to your chest, pounding into you deeply. He loves the way he can make you moan and whine just for him. But if you want something slow, he can do that for you.
Hank likes to bring toys into the bedroom too. He’s just rarin’ to rip, ya know? He just wants to make you feel so good. The way your cheeks get all flushed, your eyes screw shut and you’re begging for him to keep going, or to turn up the intensity with the toy, it drives him insane.
Spooning is one of his favorites because he adores holding you close to him. It gives him a sense of security, a sense of closeness and connection that he always dreamt of having with someone else. And the way his cock reaches so deep inside of you but it’s somehow tighter? That’s heaven for him.
Peter McVries:
Reverse cowgirl, prone bone, bulldog
Pete has a thing about seeing you bounce up and down on his cock. And he loves to watch your ass with each deep thrust. It’s not his fault if reverse cowgirl gives him the perfect view of this.
Just like Collie, he loves to see his cock be swallowed up by your perfect little hole. It’s intoxicating, just seeing him sliding in and out of you and you’re making those little noises that he loves so much.
Prone bone helps him feel closer to you. But it’s also the position that has him nearly cumming. It’s just too tight, too good. The way you tremble under him has him trying to stave off his orgasm.
Bulldog gives him the advantage of being able to plow into you like crazy. He likes to be a little rough with you sometimes, but not enough to hurt you. He just likes when you’re fucked stupid.
If you were to praise him while he fucks you, it would make him go crazy. If you were to talk dirty, that would maybe make him cum a little too quickly.
He’s big on being able to thread his fingers through your hair, pulling you back so you’re close to him. The scent of your shampoo or perfume will give him such a high while he’s balls deep inside of you.
He likes missionary too, especially when he’s feeling a little more sentimental. He’ll whisper sweet nothings into your ear, making you shudder and whine just for him. He wants to hear you moan, and he’ll encourage you to say things too while he’s deep inside of you.
If you were to bend over for any reason, it may get him going. He can’t help that he enjoys having you in that position. He might come over and smack your ass, making you groan softly. He’s not too proud to beg either.
Billy Stebbins:
Full nelson, chokehold with his arm wrapped around you, face-fucking and face-sitting
He knows he’s fit, so he’ll use it during sex. He can easily hold you up, and fuck into you. Trust me, Billy is obsessed with moving you around like you are his own little fuck toy.
The size difference between you and him will fucking get to his head. Seeing his large hands on your body while he undresses you will make him dizzy. Once he gets you into position, he’ll be completely weak for you.
He’s into prone bone too, as it allows him to just collapse on top of you once it’s done. He’s careful not to crush you though, he knows his own strength.
Having you bent over the arm of the couch, pounding into you from behind, that’s the best way to spend a “lazy” afternoon with Billy.
Full nelson gives him the total control he wants, and he knows you enjoy it too. Especially when you give him the okay to go rougher and harder. It’s heaven to have you be boneless in his hold.
Sometimes when he’s completely pent up, he’ll pound into you from behind and wrap one of his big arms around you. He’ll whisper the filthiest things in your ear, making you tremble. Holding you like this, having you so close is the ultimate thing to make him feel more calm.
Sit on his fucking face and shut that cryptic man up. Just sit right there and let him pleasure you completely. He’s obsessed with tasting you, and he will spend hours under you if you let him. He wants to feel your thighs clenching around his head.
On the other side of things, Billy is quite obsessed with fucking your mouth. He’s pretty well endowed and he knows it’ll take some practice to get there, but he loves the way you get all drooly and messy when he fucks your mouth.
(honestly this can be read as ray, olson, barkovitch, stebbins if ur freaky, or harkness but i wrote it with harkness in mind specifically)
warnings - smut! bottom!walker, top!reader, praise, and
if there’s one thing you need to do to your boyfriend, it’s ride him.
he laid below you on his bed and let out sweet moan after moan as you bounced up and down on his dick. he wasn’t the only one close to cumming, because the way you felt his cock fill you up was actually addicting.
his glasses were askew on his face, half fogged up by his heavy breathing. he held onto your hips for dear life, probably leaving little bruises in your flesh. he let out another pathetic whine, his head tilting back onto his headboard.
“what’s wrong baby? are you close already?”
you asked in a teasing tone, watching his back arch reflexively off the bed to get impossibly closer to you. he nodded his head quickly, and whimpered embarrassingly loud. your hand covered his mouth and he quickly gazed at you like he wanted to say something. you leaned close and uncovered it, dipping your teeth into his neck.
“p-please tell me i’m good. p-please tell me im a g-good boy.”
he stuttered out, groaning as he felt your teeth bite and suck on his neck.
“you’re a good boy. you’re doing so good for me baby. i want my good boy to cum now, ok?”
you answered, going back to your original spot on his pelvis. you put one hand on his chest to brace yourself, and the other around his neck.
“y-yes t-thank you-“
his delicate hips thrusted up into you as he came inside. you could see his face turn red from the sudden tightening around his throat, and his eyes rolled back in his head. it looked like he was getting his soul sucked out by a demon.
you came after him, squeezing him even harder as you moaned on top of him, sinking all the way down after you felt yourself come undone. you released his neck out of your hands, gently holding the side of his face.
“do you like that?”
you asked innocently, gently kissing the sides of his face. his stubble as slight acne tickled against your skin.
“mhmhm. can we..do it again sometime?”
he said breathlessly, sighing and leaning into your touch.
Parker - he's honestly super rough. He's spreading your legs and folding you up like in record time. He probably leaves bites along the inside of your thighs and is really into just marking you up.
He won't hesitate to complain that you're wriggling too much, whilst he flattens his tongue and drags it from your wet entrance up to the bundle of nerves at the top. He sucks on your clit roughly and has you arching off the bed.
It's okay. It just means he'll have to hold you down. He will pry your legs apart by your knees and then press them flat against the bed, exposing yourself to him completely. His fingers will loop under your knees, keeping you still for him whilst he works.
Olson - he probably has no idea what he's doing at all. I think it was inaccurate for Olson to be the one with the wife just to replace Scramm idc. Anyways, he desperately wants you to feel good, so he will be begging you to teach him. He's always asking for reassurance on what feels the best.
He has lots of confidence, so he has no problem trying new things and prides himself on being the best for you. He loves eating you out and will probably talk about it with his friends, even if it embarrasses you.
He probably likes the feeling of just being suffocated by your thighs, like he genuinely can't even breathe down there. Sometimes, you have to check if he's okay, just in case it's too much. It never is. It's never enough for him.
Probably super sloppy and basically makes out with your pussy. He'll press his fingers against your hole, gathering your wetness and spreading it upwards to your clit.
A/n Sorry if they feel ooc i need to practise writing for these two.
