First:
Description: The Shrike, a secret agent working for the FBI, an ex med student, a stupid, reckless, egotistical, idiot. How long will they toy with its prey for information, for there is a bigger fish they were payed to fry. But maybe such a small bird doesn't need a bigger fish. Maybe the smaller mouse will satisfy their hunger.
Quote:
"Do you really care for him? Or are you so desperate to feel like person, to be in a position of power, so much so that you kidnap someone equally as desperate for direction and care. A match made in hell if you ask me. You both feed each other's darkest and most disgusting desires, and that's what makes your connection strong." - Ernest Moore
Second:
Description: How stupid of an idea was it to get high in an abandoned asylum. How stupid of an idea was it to let something follow you out of it. How stupid of an idea was it to let it fester. A quest for peace of another, for the first time maybe out of nobility.
Quote:
"Emotions are like crayons, imagine we all have a full set. We use some more and some less. When you die, especially a gruesome death. You are left with only a few emotions. Anger, despair, sadness, fear. Imagine they only have one crayon, a red one. They have no other way to talk other than making you afraid and giving you nightmares, even if they are in some way endearing." - Murray Bauman

You groaned as you heard a knock on your door. Gently placing the book down, you got up from the couch and stretched out your arms and went to see who it could be. The door squeaked open as you looked up to meet the eye of who was standing there, at 9PM, on a Sunday.
“Billy? What the hell are you doing here?”
“You greet every guest like that or is it just me?”
Cocky ashole. “Get in, and lock the door.”
He chuckled as you moved aside and went to your office table. Opening one of the drawers you pulled out a simple notebook and sat back on the armchair closest to you as Billy sat across you on the couch. Fluttering through the notebook you stopped at the last date written on it and reread some notes before clicking your pen and meeting his gaze.
“So what brings you to my doorstep at 9pm Billy?"
The two of you go way back since senior year of highschool, it was surprising how it all started. You were surprisingly good at school, you've noticed a certain blondie kept writing down your answers on tests, you didn't really mind since there was no damage to you, no teacher suspected it since he probably placed a wrong answer here and there.
One day you came home to see Dustin, a little boy across the road that you befriended when babysitting him, a little bit shaken up, you felt in your gut that something was wrong so you asked him about it. At first he didn't want to explain it but after a bit of pressure he gave in.
First he explained to you that they met this new girl at school and that she had this asshole brother who almost ran over them with his car today but took a turn at the last second.
You were quiet for a few seconds, you knew who this asshole brother was. You slowly nodded and gave him a hug to comfort him. After closing the doors to your room you already started to plot your revenge.
The next day there was a giant test in English that was worth 30% of your overall grade, failing this would truly be horrible for someone who had no other grades to carry their overall grade. The moment the test started you could see each right answer but you knew better than to circle them, instead you wrote almost each answer wrong on purpose. You could almost feel the gaze of the boy next to you on your paper as he copied your answers.
You played dumb and until the last few minutes if the class. He, the arrogant fool he is, gave the teacher his test when you wrote down the final answer.
As he watched in horror you changed almost every single answer and then gave your test to the teacher. You now felt his burning gaze on you but you felt nothing but pride, the fucker deserved this after all.
You successfully kept your distance from him for the entire day, he definitely tried to get you alone to ask you about what happened on that test but you didn't let him. The teacher was thankfully quick with correcting the test and tomorrow you had the answers. As expected he had the worst grade of the class while you passed with a 100%.
You felt proud of yourself as you escaped him successfully again. At the end of the day your English teacher sent a junior to tell you that she needed to talk to you so you walked back to the classroom.
Your blood froze when you saw the teacher alone with none other than the boy you played like a fiddle on the test. You quietly sat down but you could feel that he also wasn't too happy to see you. The teacher explained that from now on you will be tutoring Billy. You finally found out his name. In exchange she will write a good recommendation letter for any college you wish to go to.
It was an offer that was too good to pass so you accepted the deal. The teacher informed you that she will be in another classroom if you needed her for anything and left. The moment she was gone his expression changed as he turned his head to you.
"What. The FUCK. was that?" You winced a little bit at his tone but you knew exactly what he was talking about "Karma you maggot." He raised one of his eyebrows at that "What did I ever do to you??"
You balked up your fist as you looked at him with an angry glare "You almost ran over my friends! Motherfucker." you leaned back into the chair and folded your arms.
For a moment he looked confused "Those three little fucks right?"
You almost punched him as he let out a cackle "I'm serious, try that shit again you will have to lock up your windows and doors at night." you said as you pulled out your notebook.
“Why are you friends with some little dumb kids anyway?”
You dropped the notebook on the table in front of him “I babysit them from time to time actually.”
"Copy my notes and you should be fine for today." He chuckled at that "You really think I'll do that?" You shot him a glare as his signature smirk disappeared from his face "Ugh fineee"
While he was copying, you patiently waited for the clock to chime so that you could finally go home and have dinner. It took him some time but he finally managed to write down everything.
As you were walking out of the school Billy bumped into you, you looked at him with a confused look "Got a ride?" You shook your head before answering "Nah, I just walk" He smirked at that "I can give you a lift you know?"
There it was, he was probably trying to get into your pants. "You don't need to, I'll be fine" “Where do you live?" "Just at the end of Cherry Lane, why?" He looked at you with a look that was trying not to look concerned.
"That's at least an hour of walking" "It's actually 53 minutes, it's not bad" while talking you were already in the parking lot. You instantly noticed which car was his. He walked to the passenger side, opened the door and motioned you to get in.
From that day on the two of you formed a sort of messy friendship. Soon you learned about his father and his abuse towards Billy and the rest of his step-family and since you were majoring in psychology anyway you decided to give him some resources so that he can help himself with his anger problems.
And now, almost eight years since graduating, the two of you kept the actually very unprofessional therapist-patient relationship. You ofcourse have other patients that you help with their mental health and problems but Billy was always more than that, you also never knew just how much more he was.
“Just wanted to see you doc’.”
“We had our last session on Friday and the next one was supposed to be tomorrow but I suppose you had other plans. So tell me, what's actually troubling you Billy?”
He looked away for a moment before meeting your gaze again, his lips formed a thin line and you could see how he rubbed the sweat off his palms. “At work yesterday, it started as a normal day you know, fixing tires and changing oil but near the end of the shift…”
You wrote down everything he said in short sentences, you also noted how uneasy he has become. Looking left or right, rubbing the base of his neck, fixing his shirt and posture constantly.
“I saw my mom.”
Turning your head in confusion, you asked. “I am aware she has not been in the picture for some time but I am assuming this is the first time you saw her since then right?”
He nodded. “She ran away when I was ten.”
Nodding, you wrote that down. “And did you talk to her, you were probably confused to see her right?”
“Yeah…she was with some older guy and two another men that she called her kids or something like that. The guy told me to look over the car since there were some weird sounds coming from the thing and I got to work.”
“It was some minor thing with the engine that I fixed in less than an hour. She was the one to come up and pay and she..uh.. asked for my name and I introduced myself. I didn’t want to call her my mom… because maybe by some freak chance it wasn’t her.”
You smiled as he went on “It must have been nice to see her, now that the two of you know where you are, maybe you can reestablish some ties and work on that burnt bridge.”
He looked down, like he was ashamed of himself. “That’s the thing, as soon as I said my name she got this really weird look on her face. She basically forced the money into my hands and walked off. They were all gone minutes after that. Boss noticed that i was’t well so he gave me two days off.”
Billy sat back into the chair, you noticed how his eyes became glossy. You could see how his lips were almost trembling and how he tried his best not to cry. After writing everything down you stood up from your seat and sat next to him.
Gently placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, you watched as he fell apart then and there. He almost never cried, it was almost a surprise to see him like this,
In a split moment his hands were around you as his head was tucked into your neck as his shoulders shook with sobs. For a moment you sat there frozen but quickly you wrapped your hands around his back. Billy never liked hugging or maybe, now that you think about it, maybe he was just scared of it.
He often sleeps around with women and men but he was never the one to stay the night. Billy also ever explicitly dated a person or even shown interest in dating. Your brain swirled in thoughts as you comforted your friend.
It took a while for him to calm down but now he was at least calm enough to talk, you softly pulled him away from you, just enough to look him in the eyes. “Billy, what was the last time you were intimate with someone?”
He chuckled as you brushed his tears away “I'm here crying in the first time in forever ad you are asking about my sex life?” You knew he understood the question but tried to dodge its true meaning. “You know I didn't mean it like that asshole! What was the last time someone held you like this? This is the first time you hugged me since senior year…”
Billy broke the gaze you two held, he just held you tighter and hid his face in your neck again. He sighed as you rubbed his back, letting him take his time to answer. “It was my mom…before she..” You knew he would say that, you hoped he wouldn’t but looks like you will lose another spec of your hope for humanity again.
Suddenly you had an idea. Behind you, you grabbed a pillow and layed down while he was still holding you. Billy shot you a confused look as you opened your arms, inviting him into a hug. For some time he sat there but after some time he reluctantly let you hold him.
“I'll hold you as long as you need, alright big guy?”
Billy nodded and tucked his head into your neck again. With your nails you softly scratched his back and scalp as you let him soak in the affection he was getting. There was something just so comforting about you, your warmth, the specific perfume you wore, the scent of the clean couch and your worn, old, probably still from highschool clothes.
It was all comfort, he never had this. He would often worry about his job or if his father would knock at his door since they still lived in the same town. But tonight, tonight he was calm and safe, for the first time probably since birth or early days of his childhood. Tonight you held him in your arms, you kept him safe and warm.
He could feel the soft cradle of sleep take over him, in that moment he realized why he never moved back to Cali, or at least not yet. Leaving you here was simply not an option, if he was going to move, he will do it with you. There was nothing or no one more important in his life than the person who is currently holding him and putting him back together, piece by piece.
When the world ignored him, he ignored it back as a way to convince himself that it was always mutual. But when the English teacher pushed you into his life his world shook, and now, he can rest. Tomorrow or the next week he will propose for the two of you to move, but for now he will be here and be held by the person who meant more to him than the rest of the whole entire world could ever mean.
A/: Helooooo, I have not been able to complete some thing cuz I'm currently learning how to drive and it's kicking my ass. Do leave requests if you have any but expect a long wait time.

MASTERLIST/ WARNINGS: HERE (VERY IMPORTANT TO READ)
Sunday, god's day your father would always say, he hasn't been in a church for at least 15 years now. Yesterday you and Billy spent the entire day laying around trying to get as much sleep as possible but Toby had other ideas.
“C’mon guys this is our only chance to see the town a little bit before school!!”
“Get out twerp we are exhausted.”
“Oh come ooooon you had a full day of sleep yesterday!”
“I don’t think I want to even get into a car for the next two weeks.”
You turned around to look at the two idiots bickering in the room, you sighed as you finally got out of bed “Let me take a shower and wash my hair and I'll be on my way. Let's go Bills” Billy shook his head and turned to the wall against his bed.
“I'm serious [Name] I am not going, I feel like I will throw up if I get into a car today.” You scolded him for not taking the over the counter motion sickness medicine. You told him to take it at least twice a day and you were sure he didn’t take it once. After showering and drying your hair you got dressed and took your brother’s keys from the counter.
“I'm taking your car!” You almost snickered as you heard your brother yell after you. “Don’t crash it somewhere! And fill the tank while you’re at it!!” You knew he hated it when you would take his car but you didn’t care at the moment.
“And where are you two going?” Susan, in some moments you truly hated her. The question was innocent but you knew what followed it. Neil looked at the two of you instantly and asked the same question. You and Toby froze as you answered him “We are just gonna drive around town for a little bit, we will be back before eight.”
Neil eyed you suspiciously before he said “Take Max with you and be back at seven.” You nodded as you tried not to groan in annoyance, you hated how they were pushing the three off you to get close with your stepsister.
You were glad that she was at least quick to get ready so you could finally be on your way. The door closed shut after you, as you turned the keys the engine roared to life. After pulling out of the driveway the three of you were finally in your way.
The town looked exactly as you imagined it, disappointing. There was nothing particularly interesting. There was no mall or large shopping center, it was all boring sad buildings and from what you heard a small arcade somewhere.
You quickly spotted a small clothes shop before you continued to drive towards the arcade. “Here is the plan kids, you go to the arcade for two hours, i go get some clothes and we meet wherever i park and go get some food. deal?”
Both of them nodded as you pulled into the parking lot of the arcade. “Susan gave you your own money right? Make sure you leave some for food later” Max nodded at your question. You handed some money to Toby, not even caring if it's more than what Max had and let them out of the car.
After that you quickly got back to the clothes shop to look through it. You tried your best to remember what you and your brothers needed currently. A few muscle shirts on sale caught your eye and you instantly went over to see if they had your brother’s size but then you reminded yourself that winter is getting closer so you should also pick out something warmer for them.
Grabbing two muscle shirts you walked over to the section with longer sleeves. Billy hated the texture of wool or anything knitted so picking warm stuff for him was always a nightmare. Whatever spirits were out there they were in good humor today and decided that this was your lucky day.
You found a shirt with the texture that you knew your brother would like, the kind he would barely let you wash, without thinking you picked out four of them. They were a little bit pricey but you didn’t care right now, you were just glad that you could find them. You also found some silk button up shirts, your brother's second favorite, so you took a few of those as well.
After all of that you made your way to the kids section, the only problem Toby had with texture was connected to food so it was easier to pick out clothes for him. On your way to the cashier you saw some scarfs you knew Billy wouldn't mind texture wise which was exceptionally rare so you quickly picked out two.
The reality hit you in the face as the cashier told you the amount of money you need to give her. “That will be 154$ ma’am” You knew exactly the price of everything and calculated what the total would be and it was the same price the cashiers told you and yet you were still a little bit stunned about the price.
After paying the amount you walked out and put all of the clothes in the trunk. You almost got into the car but a store near the clothes shop caught your eye. It looked like a classical hippie shop. You wondered if maybe they carried crystals and other minerals so you've decided to check it out.
The moment you opened the door you were hit with a smell of lavender and smoke and the sound of classical jazz. The little shop was filled shelf to shelf with various plants, statues, mirrors, jewelry and many other things. “Hi, how can I help you today?” You almost jumped as you turned around.
A woman met her gaze, she was absolutely stunning. Her plump lips were pulled in an uninterested line as her hooded eyes pierced yours. for a moment your eyes focused on her hands with lighter palms and really pretty nails. The jewelry she wore jingled as her hands moved. You were fascinated by the small braids in her hair that reached the floor.
“I- um..” You pulled out a small paper you always carried around and handed it to her “You got anything on that list?” Her eyes quickly scanned the paper and gave you a response “The only thing on this list that I have is fluorite sweetheart. Will that work?”
You could feel the butterflies form in your stomach as she called you ‘sweetheart’ but you quickly snapped out of it and nodded. She motioned you to follow her and so you did without thinking much. At the back of the shop she showed you all the fourite the store had.
While looking for a perfect one you and the cashier started to talk. You’ve learned that her name was Sidney and it turns out the two of you had a lot in common. After finding a pretty piece of fluorite and also picking out an unopened geode because why not, the two of you went back to the checkout.
After handing her the amount of money she requested you almost said goodbye but before you could she asked you a question “I know you’re new in town and all but i was wondering if you are perhaps a friend of Dorothy’s?” As she asked that you froze on the spot, you could feel your face become extremely warm as she asked that.
You nodded as she smirked at the state you were in. She turned her head to look at the clock and then she looked back at you. “My shift ends in an hour and today is an exceptionally slow day. Feel like going to the back sweetheart?” You quickly looked at your wristwatch, you had almost a full hour before you needed to go pick up your brother and Max.
“I have an hour of time to spare, not more than that sadly” You anxiously scratched the back of your head as you tried your best to appear cool and calm but failed miserably. She chuckled at you as she calmly started to walk over to the front door. You could feel her hand brush yours before she cupped your ass for a moment which made you gasp in surprise.
She quickly locked the door and turned around the ‘open’ sign until it said ‘closed’. She took your hand into hers and pulled you towards the back of the store into the storage room. As soon as you entered she pushed you against the door and connected your lips to hers. You moaned into her lips as you returned the kiss.
You could feel her hands go under your t-shirt, gently feeling your waist, hips and torso. She pulled away as soon as her hands grabbed your belt buckle, silently asking for permission. You quickly nodded as she unbuckled the belt and your jeans. You tried not to moan as her hand found your weak spot and gently started to rub it.
She giggled at how you so quickly became nothing but a soft, mushy puddle in her arms. A groan slipped out of your throat as you quickly took off your shirt, not wanting to make it smell like sweat, and pulled her lips back onto yours. One of your hands snaked around her back and unclipped her strapless bra, making it fall to the floor.
She softly gasped in surprise as you flipped over her top, revealing her breasts. They were soft and supple to touch, at first you were just kneading them before focusing on her nipples. Both of you were now moaning into each other's lips but that was soon over. “You’re clean?” She asked as her hands were back onto your jeans again.
“Tested clean” You confirmed. She smirked as she pulled down your pants and motioned to sit on one of the chairs but you had other ideas. You bent over on the table and parted your legs, giving her a perfect view of your panties and ass. “Such a dirty little slut”
Suddenly you could feel a sharp pain against your ass, you gasped as she slapped your ass once again. She got down on her knees as her fingers gently moved the cloth of your panties to the side, you could practically feel her warm breath on your cunt as her fingers slowly and gently spread the wet juices all over it.
You whined as she still didn’t do anything, she giggled at you “How needy, beg and i'll give it to you” You whined again as you collected the words that you needed to say. You took in a sharp breath “Please eat me out, i want it so badly” she was in thought for a moment before bringing her lips onto your cunt.
You practically mewled at the feeling of her soft, plump lips gently sucking on your clit and wet folds. Every time she would suck on your clit for too long your hips would start to shake lightly. It was obvious she had some experience with this which you were thankful for.
One of her fingers entered your cunt while she was still eating you out, making you take in a sharp breath before letting out a loud moan. You could almost feel her smirk against your cunt as she added another finger which wasn’t really a problem because of how wet you were.
A tight knot started to form in your stomach as that familiar feeling overcame you. “Im gonna- fuck~ Ill come soon…” not even a minute passed after that and you came. Your hips and legs shaking in pleasure as you tried your best to muffle yourself with your hand. After she helped ride out your high the girl behind you finally let go of your cunt which reminded you how cold air can be.
After a few minutes of calming down you remembered that you needed to be somewhere. You quickly checked your wristwatch, if you didn’t go like right now you will be late. You groaned as you quickly put your jeans back on “Sorry I have to run, gotta pick up my brother and step sister from the arcade.”
She nodded as she took a piece of paper and wrote down something on it. As she handed it to you she gave you a peck on the lips. “Be sure to call and we can arrange something sweetheart.” she winked as she exited the storage room and you followed after her. She was quick to collect her stuff and unlock the door of the store.
You quickly picked up the things you bought and stepped out of the store by her side. After she locked the door she reminded you to not forget to call her and went on her way like nothing happened. You smiled to yourself as you walked over to the car and reopened the trunk to put the things back into it again.
When you finally got to the arcade Toby and Max were walking out at the exact moment. As soon as they got into the car Toby started to talk about all the games he played and saw. Toby was particularly excited about a game that was “Kinda like star wars but it wasn’t because of copyright I guess but it was sooooo good!”
Out of the corner of your eyes you could see Max had a somewhat sour expression on her face, after asking her what's wrong she answered “Because Toby can't calm down a lot of kids were staring at us and it was all his fault. Why can’t you just calm down?”
The moment she said that Toby’s whole expression fell. In that moment you wanted to snap at her like your brother would but you calmly collected yourself before answering “I don’t know what's your problem but just because you are unhappy doesn't mean you have to sour everyone else’s mood Max. We already have Neil for that.”
You were clearly angry and you didn’t try to hide it. “Say some bullshit like that about someone just being happy for going to the arcade or anything else for that matter and there will be consequences”
“I don’t care! He was annoying and stupid and never understands what people are saying to him so why should I care. He embarrassed me!” The moment she finished her sentence you pulled over. “Get out of the car.”
“I'm not getting out of th-”
“[Name] there is at least 20 mi-”
“GET OUT!”
In an instant Toby covered his ears, afraid you would yell again. For a moment everyone was quiet before Max slowly opened the door to the car but before she could fully open it you stepped on the gas, making her shut it out of fear. “I’ve changed my mind but if you ever do that shit again i won't be as nice as i was today Max” She nodded, clearly afraid. The only regret that you had about your action was that Toby was also obviously scared of your yelling.
The ride was quiet until you pulled up to a fast food place. Toby picked out a seat and pulled you by your sleeve towards it. You sat with him in the booth while Max took a chair seat. After a few minutes a waitress came to take your order. “Good day to you too. We will have sepe-”
Before you could finish your sentence you could feel Toby bump your leg, reminding you to not be a dick. “Uh, actually we are paying together. Two small burger menus with cola and a beer. One of the burgers without tomatoes or onions please. Max what will you have?” You turned your head to max as you gave the waitress the time to write down the order.
Max looked at you with confusion on her face before blurring out “A burger menu with coke” The waitress nodded and told you that you will have to wait a little bit because of the diner rush. Everything went smoothly, when the waitress brought your food you ordered another meal for takeout, making sure to mention not to put in any mustard.
After eating and paying for the food you checked the time on your watch, 18:52, you needed at least ten minutes to get home. For a moment you said nothing before standing up and going to the counter, Toby and Max in tow, to pick up the takeout. The moment you paid the three of you speed walked to the car.
“Sorry kids, I'll have to speed our way home, make sure your seatbelts are tight!” You weren’t lying, as soon as you hit the road you went waaaay over the limit, you were used to it but they weren’t. Toby held his hands over his ears to drown out the loud sound of tires and the engine. You saw the somewhat familiar street and pulled in.
As soon as you saw the house you pulled into the driveway and quickly got things you bought out of the trunk. You swing the door of the house open, fixating your gaze at the clock and seeing it change from 18:59 to 19:00. “We are homeee!” You said as you put down the bags and took off your shoes.
When you finished a small talk with Susan and Neil you finally walked into your room. The moment Billy saw all the bags he knew what was coming for him “Get up it’s runway time.” He groaned in annoyance and got up from the bed. At first he was unimpressed but as soon as he touched the fabric of the warmer shirts his face changed.
You knew he loved the texture just from the way his thumbs brushed against the fabric of the shirt. He put on shirt after shirt, testing them and thinking about what earring he will style them and for what occasion he will wear them. His favorite by far was the maroon button up shirt. While he was trying on the new clothes you made Toby do the same.
Toby thanked you and left the room, taking his new clothes with him. The moment he closed the door behind himself Billy turned to you, a serious look on his face “How much did you spend?” You didn’t want to answer him. If you did he would ask where the money came from and then that would be a nightmare.
“Not that much, it was all on sale so it’s fine, don’t worry about it.” Of course he worried about it, there were times where you had no new clothes for a whole year at a time, when the only thing keeping you warm were blankets and each other. He sighed, not believing you. “There are no sales tags [Name] how much. Did you. Spend”
Your eyes darted across the room as you tried to find an answer to his question but before you could answer something caught his eye, he pulled out a receipt from a bag but as he tried to read it you almost took it out of his hands. You silently bickered for a moment before he pulled the receipt above his head which you couldn't reach so you covered his eyes with your palm.
“154 dollars?! [Name] are you insane?!!” He whisper-yelled at you, not wishing to be heard by Neil. Anger started to build up inside of you “Billy you didn’t have any new shirts since last summer! I had to get you and Toby something warm you idiot, it was a necessity.” Billy glared at you, knowing he couldn't argue back, he just sat down on his bed, his arms folded and his brow still furrowed.
For a while the two of you were quiet before sitting beside him, you sighed and started to talk “I know I overspent a little bit” He turned his head to you and raised an eyebrow, almost saying ‘just a little bit?’ but you continued “But again, it was necessary and please don't worry about money, that won’t be a problem anymore.” You smiled as he shot you a confused look.
“We have always worried about money. And how will it not be a problem [Name]? How did you suddenly get all of this money? And how much do you even have?”
You sighed as he asked that, you didn't want to come clean yet, it was too painful. You knew he would judge you, heavily. You did so many bad things and even worse you will continue to do them after next August. “Let's just say I have a safe amount, and about where the money came from, you don’t have to worry about that for now alright?”
But that's all he could think about and all that was on his mind now even though he didn’t want to think about it. He couldn’t help but worry about where the money came from, which you couldn’t blame him for, anyone would worry.
“Welp!” You said as you pushed yourself out of bed. “I got you food and oh!- Also..” You picked up a smaller bag from the bag and handed it to him. He eyed you cautiously as he opened the bag and unwrapped the things in it. The first thing that he opened was the unopened geode.
“Hm, maybe there is water in this one. At least back home I could send that to get carbon dated. I doubt I can do that here.” He mumbled as he got a hammer and chisel from under his bed. He carefully placed the chisel on the geode and hit it with the hammer a few times.
The geode cracked in half, revealing shiny purple stones which light danced upon. You gasped as soon as you saw it. “That’s- uh… What did you call it again?” Billy shrugged “It’s Amethyst, I don't have a lot of those so this is nice.” He opened the second package, his eyes widened.
He reached under his bed and pulled out a UV light and a penny. First he scratched the mineral with the penny, no matter how many times Billy explained to you the Mohs hardness scale you still didn’t understand it. After that he took the UV light and flashed the mineral, it gave off a weird light, he nodded and hummed. “Well it’s definitely real.”
After putting everything away for a final time he reached under the bed and took out a suitcase. It was filled halfway with various minerals, crystals and stones that he and you collected over the years. He put it in one of the many boxes and closed the suitcase “Won’t you measure it like always?”
He shook his head “I'm way too tired right now, he said and got back to his bed again” You nodded and got into your pjs and finally laid down. You definitely didn't feel like sleeping. “Soooo… What are your plans for college?” you asked as he stared at the ceiling, not sure what to answer.
“I kinda want to major in geology or mineralogy but as a major thta would be a dumb pick so i was thinking either chemistry or chemical engineering ad then minor in those things. It would make finding jobs easier.”
“You sure you want to do basic chemistry stuff while you could research geology and do things and learn about stuff you actually want?”
It took him a minute to respond to your question. ”No…”
You smiled. “Then do what you want. You don’t have to focus on the money, find a balance between money and happiness and you will be fine.” He sighed. “I know but mineralogy isn’t worth it as a major and I don’t want to be broke all of my life.”
“And for what college you plan to go to?”
“If I’ll major in mineralogy or geology then Yale and University of Michigan is my first choice but if I settle for chemistry then it’s NYU, University of southern cali and if i really want to get out of the country then Oxford or Cambridge.”
“Really shooting for the stars huh?”
He shot you a glare and took one of his pillows and without you even having time to react launched it in your face. “Shut it! I’m already dealing with the fact that I might not get accepted into any of them.” You chuckled and threw the pillow back at his face. “Oh come on. You? Not getting in? Impossible. You will be getting into at least three of those.”
He sighed “At least three of those also have an acceptance rate of less than 10 percent…”
“And you will be in the top one of them. Don't stress about it.”
“Oh yeah? and what are your plans for college?”
That shut you up real quick. You just shook your head and shrugged your shoulders at his question. “That’s ‘I don’t know yet’ or ‘I’m not going at all’ ?” You showed him a two with your fingers. “[Name] seriously? Not even some small local university? I know your grades are shit but something is better than nothing.” You sighed. “I’m not really college material Bills. Nor high paying job material either.”
He groaned in annoyance, he couldn't help but to get annoyed at you. “I’ll go to sleep now. Night dumbass.” You chuckled at him, maybe even at his whole existence, he was your idiotic little brother after all. “Night dickhead, Don't let someone misplace all of your information on geological formations in grand canyon.”

Moonlight, a true beauty of the dark. Shining through your window as you laid in your bed besides your beloved. The ever so quiet whistle of the wind, crickets and the deep breathing of the man besides you filled your ear.
His head was tucked softly in your neck as his arms were holding you close, as if afraid that if they let you go, you will disappear. You look at him, and he looks back. Softly smiling to yourself you kiss his hairline for a thousandth time that night.
He tried his best to hide it but he couldn't, his smile was wide and genuine, something you rarely saw. He gave you a light squeeze as a thank you before kissing your neck.
"I don't deserve you." Billy said and you shook your head, not agreeing with him. "No, you do deserve me sweetheart. You've been doing so well for the past year. You deserve every kiss, every hug. If I were to list everything you deserve I would never stop talking."
You could see the confusion on his face but you continued. "You work on your anger, you moved away from your shitty dad and you are working on having a better relationship with Max. You overcame so many things Billy."
His breath hitched and his shoulders stiffened as you say that. He didn't want to look you in the eye so he hid himself into your side, not daring to meet your gaze. You softly ran your fingers through his hair, feeling him melt in your arms as soon as you started.
"Of course there is still work to be done but you already did so much. That cannot be overlooked now can it?" As you said that you placed one of your hands on his cheek, gently coaxing him into raising his head.
His eyes always mesmerized you, you swore they could change colour depending on the weather just like the ocean. Usually piercing sapphire blue eyes but now deep murky ones meet your gaze.
His eyes were puffy and also starting to go red, threatening to spill tears. You sighed as kissed his brow, then his nose, cheek, and the side of his mouth before kissing him right on the lips.
As you pulled away your eyes met his again. "Oh my love how I adore you. I am so proud of everything you did." Something changed in his gaze, at fist a single tear dropped form his eyes, then more followed.
He placed his forehead onto yours and closed his eyes while still holding you close. The two of you soaking in each other's presence and love. You took one of his hands into yours.
Intertwining your fingers you brought his knuckles to your lips, softly kissing them one by one. He opened his eyes again and returned the affection before letting go off your hand and somehow holding you even closer than before.
"Thank you." No matter how rough and mean his voice was, in moments like this, when the two of you were alone, his voice was nothing but soft and caring, something that you would never believe if you didn't pursue this relationship.
You smiled as you brought your lips to his again before placing more kisses all over his face, if he wasn't so sleepy he would be mumbling and complaining about being babied but you knew he loved it.
He nuzzled his face into your neck again which gave you a hint that it was time for rest. You closed your eyes, letting his soft breathing and warm skin lull you to sleep.

MASTERLIST/ WARNINGS: HERE (VERY IMPORTANT TO READ)
“350 dollars?! Last time I bought it was 325?!”
The man raised his arm in protest, you glared at him and sighed as the man beside you tried to stand in front of you but you motioned him to stop.
“Inflation buddy, and I notified you in person and you sure were sober so don’t play dumb with me. Two 8-balls are 350, If you don't buy you will have to get another plug, boss doesn’t like people who back out.”
He stared at you eagerly as he slouched his shoulders and handed you the money in silence. You hummed in satisfaction as you counted out the money, lucky for him he gave you the correct amount. “A’right you can go now. Next week at the usual time?”
He nodded and put the two bags in his jacket and walked out of the alleyway. “I don't need your protection James, I don’t understand why is the boss making you babysit me” You looked up, meeting the brown eyes of the taller man.
“Don’t look at me like that boss lady! For your information I don't want to be here either but our boss said that I ‘have to pick up some of your skills’ so here I am” He said as you groaned in anger “Dont fuclking call me that!” you snorted as your mood quickly changed “That should be the last one, drive me to hideout and you're free to go”
He nodded and walked over to the car. The drive was quiet as you made sure to recount the money in the bags and rechecked the client list, after today you were pretty sure you’ve set a new record. The car stopped in front of an old building. To the people outside it looked like a lowly desk job kind of building but you knew better.
After the guards looked over your and your partner's ID they let you in. You let out a tired sigh as you walked into your office and finally sat down in your chair. After a bit of thinking you’ve decided to count the money now so that you could be free later.
The money needed to be split into six groups which you and other dealers called Boss, Supply department, Protection department, Lab department, General expenses and Personal stash. First and last are pretty straight forward.
Supply department supplied you and other drug dealers with drugs you didn't have the equipment to make. The protection department serves as the protection for the dealers in case there is a violent client or police interference. Lab department, which produces or grows its own drugs like weed or meth. And finally, the General expenses, it includes all expenses that take care of the building and provide food, toiletries,cleaning supplies and other stuff.
After splitting the money into four bigger cases and one smaller one you kept the rest of the money for yourself. Even though you were allowed to only keep 5% out of each drug run for today you still ended up with exactly 6400$.
You took two cases in each hand and exited your office. After delivering each case to the right room you went to the break room. At this time of day most people were taking their break so you almost felt excited to have an audience.
You opened the double door swiftly as everyone looked at you, smirking to yourself as you walked over to the chalkboard with various things written on it. Everyone around you knew what you were doing as soon as you erased the name and the money amount of the previous record holder and watched in excitement.
After writing down your name you slowly wrote the amount of money.
[Name] Hargrove - 128 000$
As you wrote down the final line of the dollar sign the room erupted in shouting and cheering, Many hugged you as you were being congratulated from left to right. “Good job kid, that's the first six digit in a single run!” One of the older guards said and patted you on the back.
After the crowd dialed down you went to make yourself something to eat. The word about your success spread like wildfire and many people who weren’t present in the room at the moment came in throughout the day to congratulate you on your success.
As you were packing up your bags and putting the money you made today in it you heard a knock on the door of your office. After giving permission to the person knocking, the door cracked open. You almost groaned as you saw the boss's personal secretary walk in.
She congratulated you for your milestone and informed you to follow her. You knew exactly where you were going. After exiting the elevator on the highest floor you were met with a hallway with only one door at the end and one to the right.
“Boss wants to have a talk with you.” She said as she entered her own office and closed the door after herself. You looked at the long hallway and took in a deep breath and started to walk towards the door. After knocking on the door you anxiously waited in front of it.
“Come in.”
After hearing those words you took a deep breath and opened the door. You were met with a large office and in the middle of it there was a table and an empty chair in front of it. The boss motioned you to sit down so you did. His shoulders were relaxed and he looked pleased with your work.
“I’ve heard you’ve brought some serious money back today, I'm pleasantly surprised that you weren’t stealing our cargo! Adding to the fact that you never stole a single dollar, got into big trouble with the cops and worked here since you were 12 it's safe to say you're one of the best dealers here.”
You were scared of knowing where he was going with this.
“I'll get to the point, I want to hire you full time, soon we will be getting in contact with more high end clients and I need my best workers to grill them into buying more, you have a record of doing that successfully. So what do you say?”
Your boss said as he extended his hand to you, expecting a handshake. For a moment you shook your head which made your boss raise an eyebrow at your rejection.
“You know I can only work summers and holidays until I graduate. I have a family to take care of and school to finish. In a year sure but I doubt the high end clients will stick until then.”
The man in front of you groaned in frustration “Kid this could be the best deal of your life and you're throwing it away because of school?” You nodded, there was an awkward pause before he continued “I think I can hold down the deal until next august, but I'm not giving you more than a year. Understand?”
You smirked and nodded your head. This time you were the one to extend your hand first, he smiled and gladly returned the handshake. “One final thing.” He pulled out a case from under the table and put it in front of you.
Your brows furrowed in confusion as you stared at the cese. The man in front of you motioned for you to open it. Your blood froze for a second before you cautiously opened the case, your eyes were met with cash, a lot of cash.
“Since you’ve been such a good worker I’ve wanted to throw you a bone you deserve” You didn’t know what to do, there must be a catch somewhere, anywhere. “This barely compares to the money you will be making soon. I'm thrilled to see you next august [Name]”
There it was, a tool to get you hooked. “How much is in here?” He chuckled at your question “Around 50 grand, It will soon feel like nothing kid.” You gulped and nodded. After carefully taking the case off the table you said your goodbyes and left the office.
Leaving the building and getting the case safely home was one of the most stressful things you ever did. You didn't take your goldwing since you were in the middle of upgrading it so you needed to take the metro and a bus home.
You never felt more relieved when you opened the door to your house. After taking off your shoes you heard soft thumping on the stairs and quickly hid the case under some coats. Looking up you were met with your little brother who gasped when he saw you. He instantly rushed down the stairs and pulled you into a hug.
“You're late again! You promised to be home on time” You sighed as you gave him an apologetic look and a kiss on his hairline “Sorry kiddo, boss gave me extra paperwork that needed to be worked on immediately” He nodded, accepting your apology and excuse.
“Neil’s home?”
“Nah, he, Susan and Max went out again…” Without us, he wanted to continue.
Toby sat on the couch in the living room and you sat beside him, suddenly an idea popped up in your head “I'll tell you what kid. I'll order some pizza for you, me and Billy and we spend the rest of the day watching Star Wars. What do you say?”
The little kid suddenly looked at you, instead of happiness on his face you were met with confusion and concern “Will we be able to afford that?” You sighed and nodded “We will kiddo, You are not the one who needs to be worried about that ok?”
Hearing that the money won't be a problem he instantly got a smile on his face and nodded vigorously. “Hell yeah!! You go get Billy, he calls the pizza place and I prepare the cassettes, ok?” You laughed at his enthusiasm and nodded. As soon as he went to the storage room you got up and took the case and ran upstairs.
After hiding the case beneath the sink in the bathroom you knocked on the door of your bedroom you shared with your brother. there was no response. Pushing down the doorknob and opening the door you were met with your normal bedroom, except the shades were closed.
In the dark you could see the figure of your brother on his bed. He was probably taking a nap, you quickly got the case and pushed it under your bed carefully. A small sniffle from your brother was enough to know something was wrong. After spending so much time around your brothers you learned almost all of their behavior patterns.
You calmly walked over to the side of his bed and looked at his face and smirked to yourself “I know you’re not sleeping, dumbass. C’mon get your ass up.” For a few moments he laid there before he opened his eyes and hummed, thinking he could play off the ‘i just woke up’ lie.
You wanted to laugh at him and his terrible attempt to lie but you noticed the large bruise on his chest trying to peek out of his tank top. “Billy what is that?” He shook his head, and looked to the side, telling you that it's nothing, lies.
“Was it Neil?” You asked, his shoulders slouched as he didn't even try to defend himself, he just nodded. Rage overtook your body, that prick, after a fight years ago between the two of you he stopped hitting Billy and Toby when you were home, a coward.
A part of you wanted to walk away, to hit something and yell until you cooled off but you knew your brother needed you here more. You sat down beside him, as you tried to put a comforting hand on his back he pushed it away.
“I don't need your comfort” He stood up as he said that, he quickly took out a shirt and his leather jacket out of the closet and got dressed while you sat on the bed, still a little bit shocked. “I'll be heading out” You tried to protest but before you could the door swung open.
“I found the cassettes!! Did you already call the pizza place Billy?” Toby said as he looked up at his older brother. Billy scoffed as he pushed him to the side, making Toby almost trip but he found his balance at the last second. “Don't know what youre talking about twerp. I won't be back until morning.”
Billy said and walked out of the bedroom, moments later you and Toby could hear the front door open and close. You looked down at the boy in front of you and sighed. “Eh too bad for him cuz he is missing out big time. I'll call the pizza place and we can-”
“Don’t…”
Toby suddenly said as he put down the cassettes on your nightstand. “I'll go to my room” You could feel your heart break at the way his voice cracked as he quickly walked to his room. You've decided to leave him be for some time.
After closing and locking the bedroom door you pulled out both suitcases of money and opened them. For a thousandth time you recounted the money in your personal stash which was now over 43 thousand dollars. With the money you got today now you had over 99 thousand dollars.
You could feel tears form on the corners of your eyes. Now you had well over enough to send both of your brothers to college and you were pretty sure that they wouldn’t even have to worry about rent either, maybe there is enough for Toby’s future car too.
It took you some time to cry out your happiness before returning the money back under your bed. After unlocking the door you walked down the hall to the room your brother and Max shared. You took in a deep breath and knocked on the door.
You could hear sniffling and sobbing behind the door but they quickly stopped “Come in!” As you opened the door you were met with Toby who sat on his bed and tried his best to not look like he was crying but as soon as you wrapped your arms around his small frame he started to sob again.
“He’s an asshole [Name]! He hates us, he hasn't spoken to me in days and he doesn’t even want to watch Star Wars with us anymore!”
You softly rocked him back and forth as you kissed him on the top of his head “He doesn’t hate us, he’s just… complicated, that's all. You know he probably has problems outside-”
“What's the last time he stood up for you or me?! As a kid you made dad stop his bullshit by hitting him like he was your kid not the other way around and Billy as an adult can't even say thank you when you get him another rock or something! Does he even know it’s your money? The money you spent all of your summers getting while he didn’t even try to get a job?”
When he stopped yelling he looked at you, his brows furrowed and his lips trembling. You didn’t even know what to say to him because he was right. It was true, you had a fight with Neil once so bad that you had to pay your own rent and utilities ever since. After a moment of collecting yousef so that you don’t instantly spill all of your feelings you said
“You may not notice but he takes a lot of hits for us. When i'm not home he takes blame for a lot of stuff me, you and Max mess up. He cares, I know he does, he is just really shitty at showing it.”
For a moment he kept his eyes on you, he wanted to hate Billy, he really did, but he knew that you were as equally right as he was. He returned his head to lay on your chest and continued to sob, in that moment you were at your breaking point.
The two sat there, in each other’s arms for what felt like hours, crying into each other's shoulders. After a while he let go of you and you wiped the tears off of his small face. “You ok kiddo?” You said as you ruffled his curly hair, he giggled and nodded. “I'll go now, that alright with you?”
Toby suddenly got a look on his face that made you ask him what's wrong. After a few moments of silence he whispered out something which you didn’t understand. “I didn't catch that one kiddo, mind repeating?”
“Could you tuck me in?”
That question almost floored you, you didn't tuck him in for at least a year now and you didn't tuck in Billy in at least 5. You slowly nodded and gave him his pj’s from his closet. You turned around and waited for him to change into them.
“I'm done!” Toby said which gave you a signal to turn around. After he got into his bed you pulled the covers up until his neck and tucked them in. After giving him a kiss on the forehead you turned on the nightlight you whispered out “Night kiddo, see you in the morning.”
He nodded and whispered a good night back to you. You turned off the main light and went out of the room, softly closing the door after yourself. After locking the door of your bedroom you dropped down on your bed, you definitely weren't sleepy and you definitely were bored out of your mind.
You looked around your boring room and you locked eyes with the handle of your brother’s nightstand. You looked to your own nightstand and looked back to your brother's. You suddenly got an idea. You quickly got up and walked to the door, making sure if you actually locked it.
After confirming the door is fully locked you skipped over to your brother’s nightstand and carefully opened. You noted the place of every little thing before taking out your favorite erotic magazine and gently closed the drawer. After getting comfortable on your bed you opened the magazine and got a small bblack viberator out of your drawer.
You shamelessly looked at the tits and waist of every single model in the magazine while using the viberator to play with clit. Muffling yourself with your shirt in your mouth you massaged one of your tits as you felt your high getting close.
Soon you came across your favorite picture in the whole magazine. The model looked absolutely magical, the lighting and the shadows made her tits and thighs look perfect. From the way she was sitting on the bed to her hands gently cupping her perfect tits made you want to finish way too early.
From the way your legs and hips were slightly shaking and from the deep, rising feeling in your stomach you knew you were about to finish. The wonderful feeling overtook your whole body as you tried to ride out the orgasm as best as you could.
You gasped softly as you could feel your clit become sensitive and overstimulated. It took you a good while to fully calm down from your high. While standing up you almost tripped from how wonky your legs felt. You quickly returned the magazine exactly to its original place and put your vibrator back into your nightstand and only after that quietly unlocked the bedroom door.
Tucking yourself into your bed you could feel your eyelids become heavier and heavier as you turned your back to the door. After a while you finally let sleep overtook your whole body.
–Next day–
You groaned as you heard stuff shuffling around you, from how groggy you felt you were pretty sure it was way too early to wake up. When you turned around you were met with Billy who probably also just woke up. Soon he noticed that you were awake and said good morning to you.
You groaned in annoyance as you picked one of your pillows and threw it at his head. “What the hell was that for?” He whispered-yelled as you pointed to the door. “You better go apologize to the twerp right now. He just wanted to watch Star Wars and eat pizza with you and you shooed him away like he is some dog Billy.”
He groaned “I'm not goin-”
“Billy. Go. Apologize.”
Before he could protest again he realized how serious you were and decided he didn’t want to die today. He sighed and exited the bedroom, he was lucky since Max, Susan and Neil always had breakfast early, which left the three of you alone to wake up at your own pace.
Billy stood in front of Toby’s door for a good while before he knocked. “Come in!” He was surprised the kid was even awake. From the way Toby froze Billy figured he was expecting you on the other side. The older brother noticed the dark eyebags and the weird project in front of the younger one.
“So uhh.. what’cha building there twerp?”
“It’s a rocket, this is just a second prototype. First failed because the eight percent diluted acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate didn’t give enough power to accelerate to my desired height.”
For a moment Billy was confused before he understood what Toby was saying.
Billy chuckled as he sat down beside the small boy, careful so that he doesn’t accidentally knock over anything, “Spent all night building it?” Toby nodded “You should sleep more kiddo, astronauts sleep a lot.”
Toby hummed in understanding and continued to glue the pieces of the rocket together. Both of them stayed in an awkward silence until Billy let out a sigh and started to speak “Listen kid..I just.. wanted to apologize..I'm sorry for treating you like that”
Toby gently put down the pieces of the rocket and looked up at his older brother. “Wrong words. Try again.”
Billy scoffed, he knew exactly what he needed to say.
“Alright, Alright… I apologize”
“Fooooor?”
The older brother let out another sigh. “I apologize for treating you and our sister like shit”
Toby smiled when he heard Billy add ‘our sister’ “Alright i'll accept. BUT you have to tell me what got you so mad yesterday:”
He looked at the small boy in front of him in confusion. “Nothing? I had a long day. That's all” Toby made a sound similar to the one that is played on game shows when someone answers a question wrong “Wrooong! When You have a ‘long day’ you go in the garage to work on your car or beat up that old boxing bag. You never mysteriously drive off into the night!”
Billy never realized how smart and observant Toby is, he probably picked that up from you. For a while he stayed silent before giving in “Ok twerp i'll spill but you gotta look shocked when Neils says it alright?”
Toby nodded and waited for his brother to spill the beans. “We are moving. Tomorrow” His whole face dropped, his mouth opened wide but before he could scream Billy put his hand over his mouth “Quiet. If Neil hears im dead” Toby quickly pulled his hand off of his mouth.
“He can't do that! I don't wanna finish my final year of middle school somewhere else! Thats stupid” He whispered-yelled as the door suddenly swong open “You two dorks made up?” You asked as you closed the door behind you.
“We are moving!” Toby said as you froze on the spot “Damnitt kid..” Billy quietly whispered as the tree of you stood in your spots frozen. You slapped your hands over your face and dropped to the floor in a dramatic way.
After a few minutes of laying on the floor you asked “That's why you acted so weirdly yesterday didn’t you.” You asked and Bily let out a quiet “Yeah”. After that Billy warned you to act shocked when Neil told you and you nodded in understanding.
The three of you went downstairs for breakfast and were met with Max, Neil and Susan just finishing their breakfast. As Expected Neil told you that you are moving to somewhere in indiana after breakfast and you and Tody acted all shocked and baffled but the real shock came after that.
“I've also planned to sell that Goldwing of yours [Name]. Someone offered good money for it.”
Toby and Billy suddenly got quiet. You treated that motorcycle like it was your own child, you loved to polish and upgrade it when you could. You stared at the man in front of you without saying a word, you knew he wanted your reaction nothing else.
“How long is the drive?” You simply asked.
“New house is in Indiana, so that's gonna be well over 36 hours of driving not counting stops and sleeping. Around 5 days of only driving I would guess.”
You nodded and took a sip out of your cup, trying not to shake in anger “I'll be able to drive her, i ain't letting you sell her”
Neil protested against your words. “There is no way you will be able to-”
“I. Will. Simple as that”
You gave him a stern answer, he could argue with you sure but he knew how down right stubborn sometimes you were so he decided to let it go for now. After breakfast you helped Billy and Toby pack and in return they helped you pack. The whole afternoon you’ve spent driving around town to say goodbye to your friends.
Your final destination was your workplace. After getting in you requested an emergency meeting with your boss. As expected your boss was very displeased to find out one of his best workers won't be working for the next year but he was fine with it since he understood you can’t exactly run away and the deal still stood.
After finally getting home you dropped down on the couch in between Toby and Billy. You noticed how Susan, Max and Neil were getting ready to head out “Where are you guys going?”
“Oh me and Neil need to pick up some stuff from our offices and Max is going to the arcade. We are staying out late”
You nodded and the three of you said goodbyes as they were leaving. For a while you stayed quiet before you looked at Billy then Toba “Pizza and Star Wars?” Toby jumped from the couch and ran upstairs to get the tapes. “Billy?”
He groaned and finally nodded as he stood up from the couch “New york and two peperony?” You nodded “Add a Mexican!”
And that’s how you've spent your evening. Eating pizza with your two brothers while watching a bunch of people you didn’t care about fight with funny looking swords. During the whole time Toby talked about every. single. detail he saw on screen but you didn't really care.
At the middle of the third move you noticed how sleepy both of them were, not even ten minutes later Billy’s head was on your collarbone and Toby’s was in your lap. You sighed as you closed your eyes and let the sounds of the movie lull you to sleep.
–Next day–
In the morning you had to wake up pretty early. The three of you ate the leftover pizza and put all of your luggage in Billy’s car and started the long journey. The drive was grueling and painful, your ass was hurting constantly and you had to make more gas breaks since your motorcycle couldn’t carry as much gas as a car could.
After five days of eating gas station food, sleeping in shitty motels and driving non stop you finally made it to your destination. In the middle of nowhere, Indiana there was a small town called Hawkins. You finally got off your goldwing as you parked in the driveway.
After you unpacked everything you dropped on your new, way less comfortable bed and instantly fell asleep. School was starting in two days after all, and you needed all the sleep you could get after that drive.

Summary:
As long as you could remember it was always you and your little brother against the world. You fought tooth and nail for your brother to have a normal life, which he took for granted. But to watch him follow in your father's footsteps, a man who hurt you and your brothers more than it should be possible, a man who changed the three of you for the worse, it was devastating. Your brother broke that little promise, the one you made while listening to the melody of a fight happening in another room "Never become like him." A sick joke that was. Maybe there is a chance to reconcile now that you are in a new state, in a new town, a town called Hawkins.

You opened the door of the blue Camaro. The smell of salt hit your face as you looked in the distance, the tranquil ocean met your gaze, soft waves hitting the sandy shore.
You untied your shoes and placed them on the back seat so that you don't carry any sand in the car. Looking over to the passenger seat you took in a deep breath. Slowly you unbuckled the urn and held it close to your chest.
For a while you held the urn in your arms, not completely sure if you can let him go but you figured he had enough of staying in there. You picked up the beach bag from the back seat and finally stepped out of the car.
The hot sand felt nice against the soles of your feet as you walked closer to the ocean. A good amount of time passed from the last time you saw this view, it felt like you were finally home, where you're supposed to be.
When you found a good place you set down your beach towel you placed the urn next to you after sitting down. After putting on sunscreen you opened the small cooler and took out a beer.
It tasted horrible if you were being honest, you were never sure why would this be your brother's favourite. "You know Billy, you really do have a terrible taste in beer, can't believe I drove all the way here"
You looked down at the urn next to your right, you felt like it was looking up at you. "I'm sorry for not talking to you more. After your funeral it's been.. hard. Had to fight dad to not get you buried in fucking Hawkins."
"He said I had to pay for it so I did, I will admit taking out such a loan was a little bit scary but I finally paid it off. It was all worth it because now you aren't buried in that terrible shithole of a town"
You remember it clear as day, that night you had to go to the hospital from how hard your father had beaten you for raising your voice at him. You knew he didn't like it when someone was telling the truth about his abuse but at that point you didn't care.
After couch hopping for a while you and Billy finally found a place to stay and a job. It was nothing fancy but at the time it was great.
"I've also fixed up your car, it took me a while but I've finally managed to do it. I've met this cute guy at the hardware store and he helped me out with it and something between us just clicked, long story short after he finally graduated we decided to go back to Cali and well now we are finally moving in together"
"He's been great through all of this, he never yells at me or beats me, he got clean after we got together, hell he didn't even argue with me when I said I wanted to do this alone! Im sure you would like him if you were here now"
You turned your gaze back to the ocean in front of you, better now than never. Letting out a sigh you picked up the urn and the second beer from the cooler. Stepping into the salty water, a shiver ran through your body as you took a moment before continuing to walk forward.
When you were above knee deep into the water you opened up the urn. "Never thought I'll be the one doing this, I figured I would be the one to die first you know? I hope you suffocate some fishes for me you big dummy."
In a second you flipped over the urn and the ash started to flow out of it. After it was all out you tried to get the last bits of ash out of the urn but unexpectedly a strong gust of wind blew that small amount of ash back on your clothes.
You gasped in horror as you quickly tried to dust your brother off of your clothes "Oh come on! Was this your last 'fuck you'?! Ungrateful idiot!" You laughed as you finally got the ash out of your clothes.
You sighed as you looked towards the now setting sun. The colours of the sky now ranging from a bright orange to a deep purple. You softly smiled to yourself and opened the beer, making sure to keep the cap, and poured most of it in the sea and gulping down the last sip "Goodbye Billy. I'll visit you, I promise!"
For a while you stood there, looking at the ocean, almost expecting for him to say goodbye to you. After returning to the shore you picked up your stuff and got back into the Camaro.
You gripped the steering wheel as you turned on the car, for a final time you looked back before driving off into the night.

How it started
Eddie and you have been semi dating since the summer before your fourth year. It was never anything really serious, it was more like good friends with benefits. The benefits being sometimes kissing and romantic cuddling and sex but that's it, you pay him for the last thing, he told you a million times you don't need to but you always do, because you simply can.
He did catch feelings for you but was too scared to admit them
You hoped he would pass this year but you knew all your hopes were in vain as he barely passed last year even with your help
On the first day of school you could hear a very loud car pull up somewhere in the school parking lot, probably a flashy, loud, sports car. Either a new kid joined or someone won a small lottery, you didn't care enough to look behind you.
You entered the classroom way earlier than any other student normally would and sat in your usual seat. Soon more and more students entered the classroom and filled the seats from back to front.
The bell rang a minute after the teacher entered the classroom, she started reading out all the names. She soon read out a new name, while you surely couldn't remember all the names, you were at least familiar on hearing all of them except this one.
At that someone entered the classroom, everyone looked over to see who it was, it was definitely no one you recognized. "Ah speak of the devil. Class this is our new student, would you like to introduce yourself?"
She asked and he smiled and introduced himself, William "Billy" Hargrove, moved from San Francisco and is 18 years old. You could hear all the girls melt at the sight of him, it annoyed you if you were being honest. You wouldn't deny that he wasn't handsome, but that handsome? No.
You could see the way he eyed the classroom, you could smell the fake smile on his face. Guessing from the way he dressed, he was surely a typical attention seeking bad boy, maybe someone could finally be Steve's competition.
"How interesting! There should be an extra seat next to miss/mister/mx (L/n) right over there." Of course she would sit him next to you, she expected you to help him out, like they don't teach anything in that sunny California.
After a few minutes of the class out of the corner of you eye you could see a paper being thrown on your desk. "So (L/n) huh? What's your name?"
Of course he was bored, you didn't expect anything better. You pulled out you note book from your previous year, after pulling out a paper you responded back.
"The name's (Y/n), I'll borrow you my old notebook so that you can copy it somewhere. I recommend you do. Ms. Cambell is a real devil when it comes to knowing stuff from the previous year, comes with being a chemistry teacher I guess. Don't get used to my help please, I already have enough idiots begging for it."
After putting the note in the notebook you handed it too him, the semi surprised look made it worth just a little bit. You didn't get a single note after that, he probably figured you weren't that impressed my him.
Soon the class ended and everyone gathered around his desk, asking him a million and one questions he barely have the time to answer. You could hear one of the students gasp "Is that (L/n)'s notebook?"
Oh no
Everyone looked at you with a very surprised look, god did you hate Tommy H. What a prick. "Dude what did you bribe them with? Last time I asked they didn't give me shit"
"Well I'm my defense you had time and the ability to write it down, he's the new kid so I'm cutting him some slack, you guys get enough help as it is."
Everyone groaned at your words, they knew how strict you were with your notes and other school stuff. Out of the corner of your eyes you could see Billy smirk. Smug son of a bitch, you knew he was gonna use that argument to get you too help him and you knew it will work.
After your final class was over you walked out of the school and into the parking lot, at this point you just wanted to go home, first days at school were almost always the worst, and today it seems like its the special kind of worst.
That idiotic jerk Tommy was yelling at Eddie probably for some wildly absurd thing, as you got closer you could actually make out what the idiot was saying, you should have expected it honestly. It was again about how 'demonic' dungeons and dragons was.
"Tommy I swear to whatever is playing dolls with this universe I'll never help you in spanish again if you don't let the poor guy go until he graduates"
He tried to protest you but a single look from you was enough to shut him up. You grabbed Eddie by his hand and stormed off to your car. You could feel him try to catch up to your walking pace.
"Hey you know you can slow down a bit right? your car won't run away!" he said as you continued with your fact pace. in less than a minute you reached your car.
You look him straight in the eyes, you could feel your face become warm "Do you need to be some where today?" He scratched his head in confusion "No? Why are you asking?" and then it clicked for him, his face suddenly became red, his whole body language changing. "Well why didn't you say so babe?"
He said as he got into the passenger seat, you groaned in annoyance as you got into the drivers seat, turned on the car and finally left the damn school parking lot. The road through the forest was nice, no cars in sight, no worries.
Suddenly you could feel a hand on your upper thigh, slowly going more inwards but still waiting "Color?" He asked "Green" You answered. Eddie smirked as he started to palm your sex through the fabric.
All you could do is focus on the road in front of you as best as you could, sometime you wanted to pull over and finish everything then and there but you knew he wont be all that pleased with that, you both preferred the privacy of a bedroom.
You tried your best to not let out a sound but from time to time something escaped from your mouth. Maybe you couldn't see him but you knew damn well he was enjoying himself while teasing you like this.
The drive to your place was finally over, as you parked your car the two of you quickly got out and walked over to the front doors. You didn't really worry about someone seeing you, your butlers and maids were having afternoon tea right now.
The two of you quickly walked up the grand staircase and got to your bedroom, locking the doors after yourself.
You didn't know how much time passed by now, a good while surely passed as you realized how close the sun was to the line of the horizon. You slowly got up from the bed and out of your jacket pocket pulled out a packet of cigarettes.
Your body was not surprisingly aching from the previous activities, your legs slightly shaking and your ankles and wrists sore from the rope he used.
Opening the balcony doors you put an extra pillow on your chair and sat on it, soon Eddie joined you. After he took a cigarette from you the two of you enjoyed the sunset in silence, sharing a few words here and there.
After the sun went fully down and the blue hour started you got back in and put a few hundred bucks in an envelope, you weren't paying attention of how many you put in nor did you really care. When you tried to hand it to him he quickly tried to reject it like he always does.
But after some time you got him to take it, like you always do. He started to dress himself with the clothes that were messily thrown on the floor as you plopped yourself on the freshly made bed, you knew exactly who re made it after completely wrecking you.
"If you need a drive home ask Jeremy, and please be safe" you said as he walked up to your bed and placed one final kiss on your lips and walked out off your bedroom, softly closing it after himself, you quickly fell asleep after that.
School was hell like always, the first two months were finally over and November was starting which only could mean one thing, preparations for the pre-Christmas holidays exams. This was one of the worst times of the year for you, constant begging for help and tutoring when it was obviously too late.
The semi rich kids offering to pay you, not knowing that u truly don't need the money, the popular kids promising that they'll get you into their circle, the basketball players promising you a shoutout on their next big game, it was all so annoying.
You spent so many of your lunches in one of the bathroom stalls, hoping that no one would find you here and yet they did so now you started to hide under one of the less used stairs with Eddie by your side and yet you were found again.
You almost screamed as a somewhat familiar face entered your field of view. It was Billy, he said hi to you and Eddie and sat down next to you like nothing happened. This wasn't a surprise for you, the three of you actually became friends but mostly only on the school grounds.
The three off you only went out to get food twice but you could see that he was slowly putting down the 'bad boy' mask when he was in your company, but you knew why he was here and before he could ask you something you already had an answer prepared for him.
"No I will not tutor you I have a shit tone of things too do already without counting the sheer number of people who asked for tutoring, you had your time to learn now suffer the consequences"
"I just need help with algebra and precalculus its nothing major I promise! And I can pay you." he said, if you didn't know better you would see the little smile on his face as innocent but of course you knew better. Eddie was holding back a laugh behind you.
"For the last time I don't need the money and if those things are the 'only' thing you don't know that also means that you don't know at least the last three to five lessons! It'll take me at the least 4 full hours to explain it all"
You swung your hands wildly for just a moment to emphasize how stressed out and mad you are but out of the corner of your eyes you noticed how Billy flinched, and it wasn't a small flinch at that.
You decided to not comment on it, making it seem like you didn't see it. This intrigued you, you wondered what would cause this behavior, you decided to push your luck.
After letting out a sigh you gave in "Fine, but it can't be at my place. is yours ok, today after school?" You watched as his whole body became a tense. "Ah umm are you sure we can't go to a park somewhere? I just need to drop off my sister and I'm free from then"
Eddie raised an eyebrow "It is pouring outside?" His eyes darted back an forth as he broke the eye contact, he probably forgot about it. "Ooh yeah right! I guess it's my place then..." Billy sounded a little bit like a kicked puppy right now and tried his best to play it off like nothing was wrong.
You tried not to feel bad, if your concerns were really true you could help him and his sister. it will surely be a giant breach of privacy but he might understand later on. "Alright, I'll follow you with my car to your place"
After that you handed him 10 bucks "Could you go get me some snacks from the vending machine, you can also get something for yourself" He took the money and nodded, the moment he was gone you quickly pulled out your walkie talkie from your bag.
"Kimberly are you there?? over" You hoped she would respond quickly like she always does "Right here miss/mister/mx (L/n), over" You let exhaled in relief "Could you please cancel the meetings I have on 20th and move the todays ones on that date? Over"
"Of course, do you want me to pass on some excuse for you? over" You thought for a moment before answering "No need, just tell them about the change of plans, over and out" you said as you quickly put the walkie talkie back in your bag.
Eddie looked at you with a vey confused look on his face "Isn't that the very very veeeeeryy important meeting you've been stressing over for the last month or so??"
You sighed and nodded and Eddie squealed in excitement "Someone has a cruuuush!!" Your face became flaming hot as he said that "You have a crush on him too!!" You said defensively, maybe a bit to loudly too. He didn't deny your accusation and just laughed.
Not even three minutes later Billy was back with the snacks, after he sat next to you he handed you back the change and the three off you talked and enjoyed the snack until the end of the lunch break.
The bell of the final class finally hit as everybody got up to go home, you and Billy walked out together, luckily your cars were parked right next to each other today. "Will Max be late today again?"
He groaned at the thought, he truly hated when she was late, but luckily she wasn't today. In the distance you could see the little girl on her skateboard. She quickly picked up her skate board and put it in the trunk of the car.
She smiled as she said hi to you, and of course you smiled back and returned the gesture. Once Billy's parents made him take her with him when he was going out with you and since then you two became friends.
When the two of you finally drove off you followed his car all the way to his house, you tried your best not too groan at the thought of having to park on the street, a whole street down none the less, like he did but you were given no other choice. And of course you had to walk all the way back again.
The house was quiet and nice, quite minimalistic with decorations but still nice, and yet, there was no warmth in this house, not physically of course, their heating worked just fine.
There was no family like warmth in the house, hell your own home had more warmth and your parents were dead and you don't have any blood relatives that you know off. You were raised by your butlers and maids, drivers, tutors and many more, and yet, you have a house that is a home, this is no home.
Billy showed you his room, it wasn't too small nor too big, there was workout gear in the corner alongside large loudspeakers, a twin sized bed, a nightstand, a closet, rock band posters and more stuff here and there. nothing short of what you would expect from him.
You could see some damage was done to the door and to the wall, hell there was evidence of damage from different kinds of impacts all throughout the house, you wondered if all the 'fights' he got himself into were actually abuse.
He closed the door behind you as you plopped down on his bed as you pulled out your textbooks and notebooks, he brought a chair closer to the bed and sat on in. You started to explain the first lesson, it wasn't anything complicated for you, the same couldn't be said for Billy.
It took you two full hours to explain the first three lessons, he was finally catching on as you started to explain the fourth, sometimes he looked bored and sometimes he looked like he was actually paying attention but you were glad he was at the very least trying to understand.
Soon he started to take clothes out of his closet "Sorry I have a date lined up soon so I have to get ready. You can watch if you want" He smirked at you as he started to take off his shirt and unbuckle his belt.
You quickly turned around, feeling your face become extremely warm. Did you want to watch? Debatable. Did it feel like a giant breach of privacy even though he gave you verbal and clear permission? Definitely.
Lets be real if you are masc presenting he would call you a slur but its pride month so I'm making him a bit out of character
The ten minutes it took him too change were completely and awkwardly silent , at least they were for you, he probably didn't care. "Alright I'm done" You finally turned back around.
Your face became even warmer now, he definitely didn't take up the number one spot of the most handsome man you've ever seen. The tight jeans made his ass look so much better, his shirt showed just enough of his chest and that earing pulled everything together perfectly.
"You look..great" He snickered at the sight of you being so embarrassed. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, the room becoming dead silent as you became more confused by every passing second.
He quickly grabbed you by your arm and dragged you over to the side of the door "Stay here" He quietly whispered as she gently pushed against the wall. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He took in a deep breath before opening it.
"What's wrong?" He was clearly annoyed, someone answered, probably his father. The moment they mentioned that Maxine wasn't in her room your anxiety got worse, you hoped she was ok. Billy claimed she probably went to the arcade or somewhere but that she was probably fine.
In the reflection of the mirror you could see his father move closer to him, if you could only warn him. "You were supposed to watch her" A thirteen year old? At thirteen you were signing important documents and held meetings by yourself, she was probably fine alone.
Billy gave him a good excuse, the were in fact more than three hours late. The more you listened to his fathers voice the more you wanted him to shut up. After some more arguing Billy turned of the music following it by saying that she isn't his sister.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, you almost jumped out of your own skin. There was another sound, a punch, out of the sound of your own heartbeat in your ears you could barely make out what they were saying, but you could hear him force Billy to apologize.
"Neil, really its okay-" Neil, you will remember that name for later "No, it's not okay, nothing about his behavior is okay." Hypocrite "But he's gonna make up for it, he's gonna call whatever whore he is seeing tonight" The definitely earned him another punch from you "And cancel their date"
For a moment you tuned out what they were saying and looked around yourself, there was nothing near you that you could use as a weapon, you looked in front of you, your backpack, closed, filled with heavy textbooks.
It could be useful, a good hit would surely knock him out or at least stunt him which would give you time for you and Billy to run. In that moment you realized how bad of an idea that was, for now it would solve some problems but not long-term, he could easily say you kidnaped him and Max and make the police forcefully take them away, no matter how much you wanted to you couldn't play hero in this situation.
"Isn't that right?!" The words snapped you out of your thoughts, there was some muttering you couldn't hear after that "Yes, sir" you could hear in his voice that he is about to crack "Find Max" the fuckhead said and finally left, after the door clicked closed did you finally got up.
He snapped his hand to the side and cupped his face, you could hear the quiet sobs he was trying to keep in. You slowly approached him, you made sure he knew you were in front of him before putting your hands on his forearms.
You slowly pulled them away from his face, giving him a chance too decline the gesture, the look he gave you broke your heart, he looked like a lost child. You wrapped your arms around his neck, letting him bury his face into your neck, softly crying into your shirt.
After a few minutes he pulled away, letting you go. You quickly got one of his bags and started to fill it with clothes, without shame you put in some boxers and socks alongside a few shirts and pants. After the bag was full you grabbed a two or three of his jackets in your hands.
"What the hell are you doing?" he was obviously confused "What does it look like, I'm packing your stuff, should be enough for a few days. Until he fully cools off I don't want you here, it's obviously not safe" You pulled out a piece of paper out of your pocket and gave it to him.
"On it is my address and a code, you'll need it to get in. As soon as you get max home go there, don't get back in here, I don't want to know what he will do to you. Do you want me to get Max's stuff as well? Is she safe here??"
Your worry warmed his heart "He won't hit her, she'll be fine" He said as he opened one of the windows. Before jumping out you hugged him one last time "Don't do anything rash please" you said as you let him go and jumped out, speed walking to your car never felt more stressful.
As you were driving home you stepped by Eddie's place. You knocked on his window and he quickly answered, you were right about him almost never sleeping. He quickly got out and got into your car and you drove off.
He could see that something bad happened, he decide that he would wait for you to say something. For the entire ride the two of you were quiet, while you were getting to your bedroom you were quiet and for the next hour and a half you were quiet as you sat on your bed.
After a while you started to talk about everything, about how you noticed signs, how you agreed to tutor him, how Billy's father treated his own son, how irresponsible the fucker was and then blamed Billy for his consequences, how you wanted to be a hero but couldn't.
"I'll hire some private investigators and then ask Benny to take guardianship over them, and then ill pay whatever judge to keep that twitchy little man behind the worst pair of bars America-no, the world has. I'll re open the god damn Alcatraz if I have to Eddie!"
You spewed pure venom as you paced around your room, cigarette in hand, already planning the man's painful execution "You can't just throw money at a problem you know? It may just make the things worse" You knew he was right, you hated that he was right, but he was also a little bit wrong.
"At this one I can! And I will gladly do so, that disgusting pig will be behind bars in no time! Hell in two calls or less I can order this man's death like a pizza! God I should have made my presence clear maybe then this shit wouldn't happen"
Eddie grabbed you by your shoulders and almost shook them as he looked you in the eyes "(Y/n) you are NOT above the law! Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. What if he wouldn't recognize you, not everyone knows how important you are"
He was firm with his words, he was worried you might actually order the man's death like a simple pizza just because you could which could throw you into legal trouble. You looked down in defeat, trying to make sense of what he just said.
Eddie pulled you into a hug, lightly rocking you back and forth "I know you want to help, I do to, but bribing someone may not be good for Billy or Max, have you thought that maybe they don't want him dead, behind bars sure, but dead?"
You didn't answer his question, the only thing you could do was sob and accept that by the end of the day you were just a mortal human being like he was, like Billy was, like Neil. like everyone. He gently rubbed your back as you cried.
After what felt like an eternity he pulled away and took the cigarette from your hand and extinguished it. He took your hand into his and slowly guided you to your bed, before you laid down you took one of Billy's leather jackets.
Your bed was a large Alaskan king sized bed and yet you tucked yourself to the side closest to the wall. His jacket smelled of cigarettes, cologne and his musk, it was different from Eddies but equally as comforting.
Eddie laid down besides you, letting you cuddle up to his side, nose still buried In Billy's leather jacket, Eddie could smell it too, he liked the way he smelled, he was always well groomed, used deodorant and cologne, unlike a typical highschool boy.
He decided to stay up in case Billy showed up, you did mention that you gave him the code and the address to him. Eddie hoped he was okay.
Billy opened his eyes as he tried to understand where he was, he was still on the floor, he could barely remember what happened, he found a note besides him 'I got home myself, I'm fine -Max'. He looked at the clock next to him, it hit 1AM just a few minutes ago.
He stumbled as he got up, still clearly under the influence of whatever the hell was in that syringe. He felt his pockets for his key and quickly got them. Walking felt like an entire workout, and driving was even worse.
If it was normal daytime he would surely have a car crash by now, he could barely drive straight. It took him a full half an hour to drive to his house. Suddenly he remembered your words 'don't get back in here'. He should have probably listened but he needed to know if Max was home.
He noticed that the lights in the house were on, he almost prayed for his own safety in that moment. When he stumbled into the house he could see Neil on the couch, obviously waiting for him.
Before he could say anything Billy asked him "Is Max home?" Neil said that she was but that wasn't the point now. Billy nodded and turned to walk out the door but before he could Neil stopped him by roughly grabbing him by his neck and throwing him on the floor.
Billy didn't know how many times he has been kicked and punched. it was a lot, more than usual, nose and lips bloody, traces of blood on the floor. He could barely breathe by now, his legs and arms were numb from the pain.
He could feel his hands on his neck again. Neil dragged him to the porch "Now ill give you a week to do whatever the hell you want and when you get home you will be the nice big brother to Max and you'll take your responsibilities more seriously okay?"
Billy could just nod as Neil kicked him for one final time before he got back in the house, locking the door behind him. Billy laid on the porch before attempting to get up, before he could get on his knees he fell down again, groaning in pain.
It took him three or four tries before he finally got to his feet, he slowly dragged himself over too his car. Everything was extremely fuzzy and his head was spinning, he felt like he could vomit any second.
After he started the car it took him three too four minutes too get his act together and drive off, he didn't know if he should speed off to get to the address sooner or should he take it slow so that he doesn't die on the way there, he decided that the second option would be better.
It took Billy a full half an hour to get to the address when it would normally take maybe eight to ten minutes. At first he couldn't believe that he was at the right address but the sign told him otherwise. before he could enter some guards stood before him.
"Code?" They didn't aske why the hell was he here in the middle off the night or why was he beaten to a pulp. He gave them the paper as the guards looked at each other. The guard waved to the one who was behind the gate.
All of a sudden the large gates opened and the guards motioned him to drive and so he did. There was a parking lot on the right side of what looked like a giant mansion he parked his car near yours. Getting to the front door was a pain in the ass, he was shocked when the guards just let him in.
The inside of the mansion looked larger than the outside, he couldn't believe that this was your house. He almost jumped out of his skin when he heard a voice behind him "You're here for miss/mister/mx (L/n) correct?" Billy nodded in confusion "My name is Benny Adams, I'm one of the butlers who work here, do you want me to show you where miss/mister/mx (L/n)'s room is or will directions be enough?"
After a moment of thinking he answered "Directions...please" The man nodded and started to explain where your bedroom was, third floor, hallway on the right, second door. It was easy enough to remember, climbing those stairs sure as hell wasn't.
He was finally at your door, he knocked lightly, not expecting you to be awake, he was surprised when Eddie opened the door for him. Eddie looked at him in shock as he quickly pulled him in. After he told him to sit down on a chair he quickly went to the bathroom.
A moment later he returned with the first aid kit and a clean towel. With the towel he gently cleaned off any cuts on his arms and face, making sure to not re open any of them, after that he used some alcohol to make sure everything was completely clean.
He was surprised when he saw how calm Billy was, he just let him take care of him. Eddie started to talk softly about something, Billy didn't really listen, he wasn't sure if he even could. Eddie looked nice like this, soft, caring, a little bit worried, he made Billy think thoughts he thought he never would.
He knew he was still very much under the drug's effect, but he just couldn't contain the feelings inside of him. He leaned in and put his head on Eddie's shoulder, almost hugging him "I like you... but I also like them.. I'm confused"
Eddie's face became red at his words, while he did feel the same now he was sure that Billy was under the influence of something, a drug probably. He placed one pf his hands on his head, combing Billy's curly hair with his fingers.
"Did you take something, some drug?" Billy shook his head but then gasped "Yeah! Max drugged me with....something? I don't know, it was in a syringe. It hurt like hell" Eddie was confused "The syringe or the effect of what was in it??"
Billy giggled "The poke, I swear like haaalff of it was in my neck" Eddie panicked at that and quickly but gently lifter his head to reveal his neck, he quickly found the entrance point and gently massaged around it, trying to feel if maybe the tip of the syringe snapped somewhere in him.
Billy definitely misunderstood what was Eddie trying to do, he completely leaned into his touch, if he could he would probably be purring right now. "look who's getting handsy" Billy said as he wrapped his arms around Eddie's waist, pulling him closer.
After a minute Eddie was sure there was nothing in his neck, he sighed in relief as he looked at the face of the man in front of him. There was an unsure look his eyes, like he wanted to do something but wasn't sure if he should.
In his mind Eddie tried to understand what drug did Billy take, until a few minutes ago he was probably also high on adrenalin, that's why he was waaay more relaxed now. it was probably some party or sleeping drug, but how did Max out of all the people managed to do this to him?
Eddie snapped out of his thoughts as he could feel someone poke him on his temple. "You think waaaay tooo much. But (Y/n) takes the number one spot in that, they also think too much, nerds" Billy giggled as Eddie stared at him in confusion, trying his best not to laugh at his words.
"Alright big guy lets get you to bed" Eddie said as he got up and walked to the bed, halfway there he realized that Billy was still on the chair, he gave him a confused look as he mumbled "I don't think I can stand"
He let out a sigh as he walked back to him, he kneeled in front of him with his back faced towards him. Billy somehow understood what he was trying to do. he wrapped his arms around his neck as Eddie placed his arms around his thighs.
Billy 'weeee'-ed like a little child, quietly as Eddie picked him up, god he was heavy which wasn't a surprise, he was a hunk of pure muscle after all. After he placed him down on the bed, before he could go to his side of the bed Billy suddenly grabbed him by his forearm.
He pulled him towards himself, holding him close, Eddie could see what was Billy trying to do. Eddie looked at him in the eyes, god he will regret this. Billy slowly leaned in, closing the space between them, pressing their lips together.
To Eddie it felt exactly like how it felt kissing you, magical and breathtaking. Eddie deepened the kiss, pulling Billy impossibly closer to him, stealing his warmth. He pulled away as Billy's head dropped down to the base of his neck.
He let him place a few hickeys here and there before he pulled him away "You're clearly under the influence of something, I don't want to do anything to you that you might regret later" Billy whined but nodded as he got under the covers.
Eddie snuggled up besides you again, he laid on his back as he watched Billy on his side of the bed. Soon he groaned in annoyance and crawled over to the two of them and snuggled into Eddie's side and then covered all three with a blanket. It took almost no time for the two of them to fall asleep like this.
You could feel the sun hit your face before you even opened your eyes, Billy's jacket was still in your hand and Eddie was still by your side. You slowly opened your eyes and looked at the clock on your desk, it read 08:22
You slowly sat up on your bed and yawned. It was finally Saturday, you could feel and arm wrap around your waist, pulling you back to bed "Eddie I have a meeting at 10:30" you mumbled into his neck. He groaned as he let you go "Good morning as well"
You slowly got out the bed and walked into your closet, you picked out some more professional clothes for the meeting. After placing the clothes on your table you walked out on the balcony, it would be freezing if it weren't for the greenhouse instalment you hire someone to put before every winter.
Skipping the chairs you walked over to the pomegranate tree that still had some ripe fruit. Sorry if you hate or are allergic to pomegranate. After picking five of them you walked back into your room, you placed them on the tray in the dumbwaiter.
You took a paper from the notepad and wrote what you wanted to eat and drink "Hey Eddie what do you wanna eat this morning" a moment later someone responded "Waffles and hot chocolate" that wasn't Eddie.
Shocked, you quickly whipped your head in the direction of the voice. On your bed didn't just lay Eddie but also Billy, cuddled up to his side. "Billy!!" you exclaimed in joy as you jumped on the bed to hug him. "Thank god you're safe! When did you get here?"
He could barely answer your question, his head throbbing from the drug and the hits his father gave him. Soon you realized there were more bruises on him then from the last time you saw him. "He hit you more didn't he"
Billy didn't want to look you in the eyes, he could only nod "I had to check if Max was okay, ill explain everything later" He said as you looked at Eddie "Ill have the same as him" you smiled as you placed a kiss on each of their foreheads before returning to the paper.
Alongside everything you ordered a few bags of ice wrapped in kitchen towels, after putting the note down on the tray you closed the door and pressed a button so that everything can be sent in the downstairs kitchen.
You walked over to the telephone in your room and dialed a number, it took him longer than usual to respond, given it's so early in the morning. "Uh yes hello?" Ah, finally "Good morning doctor Turner. It's miss/mister/mx (L/N). I sincerely apologize for calling you this early but I will need an appointment, not for me, sometime today. What's the earliest you could be here?"
After a few moments and a few sounds off pages ruffling and the doctors grumbling you finally got an answer "The earliest I can be here is 10AM sharp, will that work with you?" You were very satisfied with his answer "Yes that would be excellent, thank you for your time on such a short notice, farewell" You said as you broke the call.
You sighed tiredly as you looked at your schedule for today. meeting 10:30 to 12:00 and then another from 15:00 till 17:00 and then you needed to work on your speech for an another event next week. You groaned as you dropped down on your bed again, whishing you could stay here forever.
After a few minutes you could hear the dumbwaiter bell ring, the food was here. "Get up guys food's here." Both of them groaned and slowly rose from the bead like some zombies. You took your food and drink with the large bowl of pomegranate seeds and placed it on the table outside.
The three of you ate in silence, enjoying the morning rays of sunshine that reflected off the horizon, the sky still having an orange pink like gradient.
After a while the three of you finished your food and sat in silence, still tying to wake up. Eddie was the first to break the silence "Do you remember that happened last night?" Billy looked in the distance, obviously deep in thought, then his eyes widen and his face became bright red.
Billy looked down, trying to hide his bright red face "Yeah..." He mumbled, for a split second he looked at Eddie's neck, the hickeys were definitely still there. Eddie was the first to admit that he liked both of you romantically, followed by the two of you admitting the same.
It took a lot of talking, the three of you discussed about the bad and good thing of a relationship like this, you discussed what you considered cheating and what not, setting boundaries, what you wanted to do with your lives and other stuff, in the end you concluded that this relationship, if kept secret, would be great.
While talking you and Eddie held the bags of ice on Billy's bruises, now that the bruises fully formed he looked worse than yesterday. At first he watched your moves like a hawk, obviously not trusting you, but soon he relaxed, not fully but it was a step to a better path.
"Never thought i would get myself into some hippie shit like this" Billy said as the two of you laughed at his joke, you looked at your watch as you almost screamed, 9:49 "Billy go get some clothes and wait for doctor Turner downstairs! I need to rush" you excused yourself as you run to the bathroom.
After taking care of some things you could hear them leave through the door "Ill be with Billy! Good luck with that meeting" Eddie loudly said and shut the door behind them, you sighed with a smile on your face as you continued to get ready.
The two of them got downstairs a minute before ten and sure enough the doctor walked in through the front door the second the clock turned to 10. Mister Adams showed them where the doctor will examine Billy.
It was obvious he had trouble walking, limping, almost hopping on his good leg. Eddie offered him help but at first he refused, almost fell down, twice, and then finally accepted defeat and let Eddie help him.
After they finally got to the room the doctor started to examine him. They did the usual stuff, taking blood samples, checking his eye movement, reflexes, sensory functions, coordination. Everything was going fine until he stared to check his leg.
Luckily he was done rather quickly as it was clear that it was beaten pretty badly, after the doctor was done he sat back into his chair and looked at his notes for a moment or two "Well the good news is that per my estimate there shouldn't be any long-term to the brain or your knee but i will order a CT and MRI scan for your head and an X-ray for the knee."
Both Billy and Eddie sighed in relief "But if you play any sports, forget about it for the next month and a half, your knee hasn't crossed the 'will never be the same' line but it will if you don't stay in bed for said time period."
Great, just great, Billy could feel like half of his world crash down. There are not one but two important big games coming up that he will have to skip. Eddie tried his best too comfort the now angry man as the man packed his stuff and left rather quickly.
After a few minutes they got back to your room, Billy decided to take a nap while Eddie sat on the balcony, as soon as he sat down the phone rang. Annoyed, Eddie answered the phone "Hiiii, this is Kimberly, their highest majesties' personal secretary, they wanted me to let you know that they wont be having lunch with you because they needed to switch up something in their schedule, Toodeloooo"
Eddie was left in confusion as the woman on the other end broke the call, Billy let out a hum, wordlessly asking him what's going on "They wont be having lunch with us, schedule switch up or something" He said as he laid down on the bed next to Billy and feel asleep next to him.
It was somewhere around 1PM when the two of them woke up, after some time they decided to order themselves lunch in the same way you did. After eating they went back to bed but neither could fall asleep again.
Eddie took Billy's hand into his, there palms resting on his chest as he traced his knuckles with his thumb. "Do you want us to help?" Billy looked at him in confusion "You don't need to stay with them Billy, I know it feels like you can't leave, but you can"
Billy looked at the ceiling, he didn't say a word "If you only heard what (Y/n) had to say about your dad! You would be rolling on the floor, out of all the things they called him a twitchy little man and a few other choice names"
He snorted at that, twitchy little man, it didn't fit his father at all, he will remember it though. He looked Eddie in the eyes, as if he's waiting for him to ask him something. He sighed as he squeezed his hand.
"Do you think you're ready to talk about what's happening at home?" His questions wasn't out of malice but out of simple curiosity. Billy looked back at the ceiling then after a minute or two of thinking he shook his head.
Eddie nodded and smiled "That's alright, when you feel like talking just know that both of us are here for you" he said as he brought Billy's palm to his face and placed a kiss on his fingers then at the base of his palm.
His hands smelled of cologne and cigarettes, nothing out of the ordinary. Billy for the first time in forever fully let his guard down. It almost felt like a trap, like its all a ploy just for you and Eddie to make fun off him. He wanted to back away, to just leave, to never see either of them again.
What will his father say when he fids out about his new relationship? He knew all hell would break loose. Maybe he should just break up with both of you and go back home to play the nice older brother like his father wanted. He probably would if he could.
Maybe his father would finally stop hitting him. He did it because he was nothing but a rebellious teenager and he needed to beat some sense into him. It was all his fault.
He flinched as a hand cupped his face, scaring the living shit out of him. "Are you ok dude??" Eddie asked as Billy finally snapped out of his thoughts. "I know you don't want to talk about it but whatever is happening to you is not your fault, normal parents don't hit and kick out their children when they are mad at them."
Billy let out a sob, one after another. He wondered how did Eddie know what to say at that exact moment, like he had read his mind. His shoulders shook with his sobs as he curled into himself, hiding his face out of shame.
Eddie sighed as he cautiously put his hand on the man's shoulder, letting him decide if he wanted his touch. Billy violently pulled away, scared of the intention behind Eddie's touch. He stared at him cautiously as he tried his best to stop crying.
He reached his hand out again, this time so that Billy can see it. First the hand cupped his face an with its thumb brushed his tears away. Slowly his hand moved on pass his jaw. Billy could feel his hand play with his curls at first.
This was it, the moment he pulls his hair like his father often does, this is the moment he yells at him for being a crybaby, for being a softy, for ever being so naive and thinking anyone would ever love him and offer him help.
But it never happens, Eddie never does anything like that. He just continued to play with his hair, softly scratching his scalp and combing his hair with his fingers. There was no malice in the nature of his actions, only the need to comfort him.
It shook Billy's worldview a little bit, the last time someone touched his hair like this was his mother. The night before she left him, it all felt a little bit too familiar.
He slowly opened up his arms and tried too say something but his own sobs wouldn't let him and yet Eddie understood him perfectly. He pulled him closer too his chest and let him cry out his pain and sorrow, and soon he started to cry too.
Thank god the second meeting was over way before it was supposed to, a whole hour earlier none the less and since you finished the speech during lunch you were completely free until Monday hits. You almost skipped out of happiness back to your room.
You slowly opened your door not expecting to see both Billy and Eddie crying their eyes out. You quietly got out of your business clothes and slipped into your pajamas. You quietly approached them and when they both saw you their eyes suddenly got a specific shine of happiness in them.
You laid down behind Billy, spooning him from behind as his face was still buried in Eddie's chest. You softly kissed away each of their tears and dried their faces with your sleeves. After you were done you kissed both of them all over their faces. When you saw that both of them have finally stopped crying you turned off all the lights and made sure both were tucked in.
Billy could feel his heart swell with love and joy for the first time in forever. He would never admit it of course but he finally felt wanted somewhere, not for his looks or charm or popularity but for simply being himself, not for the typical bad boy stereotype Billy, but for one who needed help and comfort, for the one who was simply just a little bit lost.
If you had been there, if you had seen it, I bet you would have done the same
A/n: Hello I still somehow exist and I've decided to finally post something which I haven't done since the start of 2022 so here you go
Note: pronouns for reader are they them and the reader could be afab or amab
Word count: 2376
WARNING: Neil getting the living shit beaten out of him, Neil himself, abuse, fight scene, if there is more please tell me so
(Y/n) laughed loudly as Billy impersonated their teacher Mr. Campbell, they could tell he has been practicing the impression for some time. Billy soon started to laugh too, the more he laughed the more (Y/n) laughed and it was the same for him.
Soon both were on the floor losing their breath and getting a good abs workout from just laughing. They laid there, gasping for air and tying their best not to start the laughing fit again. Billy took in a sharp breath.
“Ya know, you aren’t so bad (Y/n) nerd (L/n)”
At that (Y/n) laughed.
“Same for you Billy bad boy Hargrove”
They stated to giggle again, the fact that those were the only nicknames they could think for each other was a little bit pathetic but they didn’t really care right now. (Y/n) could hear a car pull up the driveway, Billy quickly stood up and peaked out the window.
(Y/n) could feel the air shift in the room, they could also see how tense Billy has gotten.
“What’s wro-?”
Before they could finish their question he quickly opened the closed door and pushed them inside.
“Whatever happens don’t get out, stay here and try to be quiet”
Billy said as he closed the closet door. It was dark in the closet, they could smell his natural musk and strong cologne from his shirts, they would have blushed out of embarrassment if they weren’t currently terrified.
(Y/n) could still hear everything that was happening outside, they heard a door open in a far distance stomping, someone was angry. They could hear someone yell out Billy’s name, it was probably Neil, his father. There was now a closer sound of a door opening and the closing, they cursed under their breath, they wanted to know what was going on.
There was definitely now an argument going on downstairs, there were sounds of something crashing on the floor, a plate maybe? There was now more shouting but this time it was different, they could hear Billy yell in pain as his father was punching him.
(Y/n) could feel the anger and the pure uncontrollable rage bubble beneath their skin, it was no normal rage, it was the same rage that makes you kill other people, the very regretful rage. They pushed the closet door open as they ran downstairs past Max who watched frozen in fear.
Billy didn’t look good at all, lying on the floor, he was covered with spots that will later become bruises, his lip, chin and eyebrow looked busted and his eyes droopy, he looked like he would pass out soon.
He looked at them, his blue eyes now glossy and puffy, he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn’t. Neil looked back, he groaned in anger as he saw them, he looked back at Billy who tried his best to get up.
“I told you not to bring your disgusting whores home didn’t I??!!”
As he said that he raised his foot to kick him again but before he could a fist collided with his temple launching him in the near wall, as he tried to get up on one knee a kick was sent straight to the side of his face, knocking him down again.
They let him get back up, they let him try his best at swinging back, yet it did nothing, they threw a punch again, and then another, a kick, once, twice. They sat on his chest and arms so that he couldn’t move, and punched him in the nose, they could vaguely hear something crack but they didn’t care, they punched him over and over again.
(Y/n) raised their fist high again but just as they were about to connect it to Neil’s face again they could feel tiny hands trying their best to keep their single hand up. They almost punched to the side but before they could they realized who it was.
“Stop it! You’ll kill him!!”
It was Max, tears were streaming down her face as she begged the person to stop what they were doing, (Y/n) looked around, their eyes landing on Billy who, with a good reason, looked terrified. Like Max tears were also spilling from his eyes. They looked back at the coward of a man beneath them, with their other hand they gripped his hair and got closer to his bloody face.
“I know you are still awake, I didn’t punch you that hard did i?”
They smirked as he nodded.
“Good, now you will listen. I do not want to see you near them again, it is obvious you see them as nothing but burdens! So be thankful. If I see you near them I will kill you, try to sue and will sue back and tomorrow do not be back here until late, disappear wherever you want, I DON’T want to see you here while I’m collecting their stuff got it buddy?”
Neil nodded as (Y/n) smacked his head against the floor, knocking him out. They stood up and calmly walked over to Billy. They looked down on him but he didn’t return the look out of fear.
“Can you walk?”
They asked as if nothing previously happened, like he didn’t just get the shit beaten out of him but as if he fell from his bike like a small child, that’s how he felt at least. He shook his head, he felt disappointed in himself.
(Y/n) sighed as they crouched down in front of him, they put their arms beneath his thing and back as they gently picked him up, he weighed almost nothing with the amount of strength they have. He nestled his face in the crook of their neck. They looked at the small girl who stood just behind their leg.
“Maxine could you please get some clothes for you and your brother just for tonight, I’ll visit back tomorrow for the rest ok?”
She nodded as she ran back upstairs. Billy groaned out of pain as he tried to say something.
“The keys are in my back pocket, grabbed them in case of a quick getaway”
After answering his silent question he let out a sigh of relief. (Y/n) kicked the door open as they stepped out in the cool air, taking in a calm breath before waking over to the car. After unlocking it they gently put Billy down in the back seat.
In the same moment Max ran out with both of their backpacks filled with books and clothes for them. She quickly handed (Y/n) the backpacks to put in the trunk as she got in the passenger seat. After they were done with the backpacks they sat in the driver’s seat and turned on the car. Instantly some heavy rock started to play but they quickly changed it to something calmer.
The drive was silent except for the music playing through the radio while everyone was trying to take in what just happened. Out of the corner of their eye (Y/n) could see a burger joint, they smiled as they looked in the rear view mirror.
“You guys hungry?”
Both of them perked up as they looked at each other then nodded, (Y/n) smiled as they took a turn and entered a drive through of a simple burger joint. After a few minutes of waiting in the line the worker asked them for their order.
“HI! Uuhh I’ll have three classic burgers one with-“
“No onions.”
“- Max please, and the other without-
“Mustard.”
(Y/n) sighed and tried not to giggle “-Plus three large batches of fries, two colas and a vanilla milkshake thank you.” The worker giggled at them and nodded as she wrote down their order.
“That’ll be 20.77$ ma’am/sir.”
They handed her a 20 and 5 five “Keep the change” They said, the worker thanked them and informed them to go to the second window to wait for their order. After a few minutes another worker brought their food and they drove off.
The drive was now quiet again. Another song switched on the radio, it took less than a line for both Max and (Y/n) to realize which song that was.
“Did its best to please us, and strolling down the Élysées, we had a drink in each caféeee, and you….and you talked of politics, philosophy and I smiled like Mona Lisa”
Max bobbed her head to the beat as (Y/n) sang the first part, and after both sang out the pre chorus Billy, not really knowing the lyrics, still decided to join them.
“I can still recall our last summer, I still see it all. Walks along the sand. Laughing in the raaain. Our last summmmer. Memories that remaaainnn!!”
(Y/n) ignored when both of them said ‘sand’ instead of ‘Seine’ but they didn’t care much, they were glad the good mood was up again. (Y/n) noticed that they won’t be able to play out the full song before they get home so they slowed down a bit, wanting to live out the simple moment.
“Our last summmmerr, where we could laugh and plaaay”
They looked in the rear view mirror, as expect Billy absolutely enjoyed the guitar solo, they smiled as they looked back at the road and both them and Max started to sing again.
“And now you're working in a bank, the family man, a football fan… And your name is Billyyy! How dull it seems, yet you're the hero of my dreeeaaaamms”
It was obvious which word they switched out as Billy ‘pfffff’-ed from the back seat, trying not to chuckle. Soon they pulled up to the large log cabin. The song slowly faded out as (Y/n) turned off the car and got out first.
“Max please get the bags your brother needs some help so I’m occupied”
She nodded as she opened the door and got out to get the two backpacks. After picking up Billy from the back seat the three of you walked to the front door. Unlocking the front door never felt better for you.
“Damn (Y/n) what jobs do your parents work” she said as she looked around the large entrance and main room, the tall wooden walls, inner balconies , stone pillars and a large chandelier looking down on them.
“Maxine watch your language please. And also my parents are dead”
Max almost gasped as she quickly started to apologize but they just let out a laugh, at this point Billy was also weirded out by all of this.
“Its fine I dealt with it by making jokes, anyways how about you go upstairs to the left and pick out a room you like and we will be here patching up”
They could now better see every bruise and cut that formed on his skin as they pulled out all the stuff they needed. They first put some vodka on a piece of cotton and as softly as they could clean away the blood and sanitized his busted lip and eyebrow.
She enthusiastically nodded as she rushed up the grand stairs and disappeared out of their sight. (Y/n) gently placed him down on couch and walked over to the first bathroom. After searching for a while they finally found the first aid and walked back to Billy.
It was clear that he wanted to wince at the pain but was trying his hardest not to. After wrapping everything up they picked him up again. After walking up the stairs they knocked on the first door to the left, after there was no response they opened up the empty guest bedroom. They gently placed Billy down on the soft bed.
“Ok I’ma go check up on Max and then bring you some ice bags, sounds good?”
There was no verbal response from him, only a nod of agreement. They smiled as they ruffled his hair and walked out. They knocked on every next door until they got a response on the end of the hallway. They opened the door and saw max sitting on the beneath a glass roof, looking up at the stars.
“You settled in?”
Max quickly turned her head around, she nodded as she ran to the door and pulled (Y/n) into a tight hug.
“You won’t let Neil take us will you?”
“Never”
They said as they wrapped their arms around the little girl. After a while they let go of each other. (Y/n) warned her that she needs to brush her teeth and wished her good night as they closed the door. They quickly got down the stairs, grabbed some ice, and went back up.
After knocking they patiently waited for Billy to call them in. A minute passed, and then two, then three, they were starting to get worried as Billy still wasn’t answering them. They quietly opened up the door, the room was as dark as they left it, with only a night light turned on.
(Y/n) could see a figure on the bed, his figure, shaking from what they guessed were sobs of sorrow, of fear. They cautiously approached him, giving him time to see them so that they don’t surprise him. He looked up at them, his eyes glossy and puffy, it reminded them too much of the scene that happened barely half an hour ago. They slowly got closer and gently placed the bags of ice on the biggest bruises. Just as they were about to get up they felt a hand grab their forearm.
“Please –just..stay”
He begged so quietly, they couldn’t believe the tone he just let out. (Y/n) sighed and nodded with a smile as they tucked themself close to him. The sobs he was crying out minutes before where nothing compared to the ones his throat was letting out now.
His whole body shook as he cried in their neck, not daring to look up. They softly held him as he sobbed, telling him it’s okay to let things out, that it’s ok to cry, to be vulnerable. After a good while they noticed how quiet he has become. The realization that he cried himself to sleep broke their heart, but they were glad he had some peace now.
They closed their eyes, letting the warm embrace lull them to sleep.

Warnings: nightmares for xiao, favoritism in diluc's part, purposeful misspelling and slander in C*ilde's part,overall tooth rotting fluff
Zhong li
Sleeps like a rock (pun intended)
This man will not wake up unless there is an emergency
No matter how much noise you make or whatever is going on around him he'll stay there laying in bed completely silent
His breathing is so quiet you think he's dead half the time if not for his endless sleep talking
And you can actually have full on conversations with him while he's asleep
Also he sleeps in a solider position which leaves you to cling on him like a koala on a big ass tree
Sleeps in really soft bamboo pyjamas that you bought for him
Zhong li will only wake up at exactly 7:30 am no matter if it's a week day or a weekend/ his day off
He also doesn't stay in bed for more than 10 minutes unless as stated before its his day off and you aren't awake yet
The man will stay there taking in the sunshine rays from the window as he's looking at your peaceful face
After an hour or two hell rub your back and gently wake you up with forehead kisses while softly calling your name
When you finally wake up you usually start with the morning hygiene and whatnot
Also he will ask you if you want to take a morning bath together but absolutely respects you decision if you won't and you don't need to even give him a reason you declined in the first place but will make sure you know he loves you no matter what
After that he will sit down with you and drink tea and have breakfast with you for the next two hours
It's the only reason he wakes up so early
T̵̻̦̥͌͝e̸̟̗̮̮͌a̷̙͕͉̿̍͝
After that he goes to do his usual shift at the wangsheng funeral parlor
Venti
Menace to society
He either sleeps sprawled out in a starfish position with his arm and leg over your body or in a fetal position with his face buried in your breasts/chest
He usually sleeps in your clothes or in his everyday clothes
His little snores are super cute tho
Venti's snoring isn't super loud, it's actually really quiet but still there
Since he's a bard he stays at the Angel's share until it closes which is usually very late into the night so he sleeps until like 2pm
He isn't a heavy sleeper so you usually accidentally wake him up if you have some errands to run early in the morning
Venti will cling to you and pretend that he's asleep so that you can stay in bed with him
After like 20 minutes of this he finally let's you go and makes you promise him that you'll be back quickly
When you returned to your shared house from doing commissions you found him still sleeping in the bed so you quietly took a shower and snuggled in with him for another hour or two
After he finally wakes up for real this time he has breakfast lunch with you and goes off to Angel's share but not before giving you a thousand kisses
Kaeya
He's sleep schedule is ON POINT
He always gets back from Angel's share at exactly 1:00am, showers, eats and does his skin care routine and gets in bed around 1:30am
He also wakes up at exactly 9am but stays in bed until ten
He trashes through the night, he also talks in his sleep but it really weird and it's mostly things that are in English but you can't understand them at all
Kaeya is also a blanket snatcher and will snatch your blanket if you aren't holding it tightly
I feel like he also sleeps with socks on but has a few special pairs of socks that have some cute patterns that he would rather be caught working with the fatui by his own brother than wear them outside once
Also sleeps in silk pyjamas, doesn't care if the cotton ones are easier to breathe through, he likes the feeling of silk on his skin
Kaeya loves his personal space and he doesn't like to be touched while he sleeps but makes up for it when he's awake but still in bed
The only exception is when it's cold outside, I headcannon he's naturally cold and he doesn't like it at all
His morning routine is 90% of him taking care of his face and showering
His skincare routine is also more expensive than some people's houses so don't touch his products plz
Kaeya will gladly teach you the basics of skin care and will buy you your own products that thinks will suit your skin better
He's also almost late to work every day so every day you see him put on his shoes calmly, take in a deep breath and then he kisses you goodbye and runs off like a mad man in order to get to the headquarters on time
Diluc
He has so much unprocessed trauma I would be surprised is sleep schedule is anything but a mess
Diluc doesn't sleep a lot, he would have a normal sleep schedule but since he has a lot of stuff to do all the time it stops him from sleeping property
Not only does he work as a bartender at Angel's share when Charles can't he also works as the Mondstat's one and only Dark Night Hero
He usually comes home around 4 or 5 am and will only sleep until like 8 and you will have to force him to have a nap in the afternoon
Also he sleeps in his everyday clothing and he's sometimes too tired to even take his coat off
Diluc sleeps on his stomach which causes him to have back and neck problems but it's the only way he can actually fall asleep
He's a really light sleeper which also adds up to his sleeping problem
Also he snores loudly, like really loudly, and he only snores at night for some weird reason
You discovered that because one day you accidentally woke up at like 6 am and you couldn't fall back asleep because of his loud snoring but you didn't dare to move since you knew how little rest he gets
He's not a morning person at all, if he didn't hate alcohol, he would be the person that chugs half a bottle of vodka in the morning just to keep him awake
Diluc usually starts his morning off with some personal hygiene and then starts doing the endless paperwork without even having breakfast or anything to drink
So out will have to force him to eat and drink so that he doesn't pass out from work
On the rare days he doesn't have any work to do he usually sleeps them off to make up for the time he didn't sleep
Albedo
Chalk boy over here also has a terrible sleep schedule
He's not really forcing himself to stay up but rather doesn't realize how late it is
You will have to pull him out of his work in order for him to go to sleep
Albedo has a special pair of pyjamas that he wears when he's sleeping and he only wears them because for his last birthday Klee has given him a pair of pyjamas that were originally grey but she hand painted them herself with the help of Jean and Lisa and he's been sleeping in them ever since
And when i say every day I mean every day
But don't worry he hand washes them every two days and takes special care of them in order to not wash of the fabric paint
His snores are also really quiet and quite cute, I recommend commenting on that if you wanna see him blush ^-^
Albedo usually sleeps on his stomach but unlike Diluc he is small enough to not crush you under his weight so he usually sleeps with his head on your stomach or buried in your neck
Pease touch his hair he melts when you do
Albedo can sleep for a looonng time if you don't wake him up so he relies on you to wake him up or else he'll spend the next 16 hours in bed sleeping without a care in the wold
When he wake up he does his usual morning routine, which is usually a quick shower, breakfast, brushing his teeth and his hair out, and then goes off to work
He will absolutely make you have a nap with him in the afternoon or whenever he feels tired
Xiao
He doesn't sleep much, hell I don't this man sleeps at all sometimes
Adepti don't really require sleep or food like normal humans do
It took a lot of time for him to trust you enough to sleep besides him
Xiao doesn't feel safe while sleeping at all, he also fears that his karmic dept might take affect on you so he keeps his distance for quite some time
For the first month or two he would wear his normal every day clothes but then you gift him a cute plain green onesie and at first he straight up refused to put 'that thing' on but he gave in and hasn't sleep in anything else since
At first he would be the big spoon so that he can protect you from any harm but when you spooned him for the first time he felt so safe and warm he never wanted to let go of that feeling ever again
After that he would ask you under his breath if you could spoon him more often, you barely understood what he was saying but perfectly understood what he wanted and needed.
He also regularly has nightmares which causes him to trash around and maybe whack you in the face once or twice but you're quick to calm him down
Xiao never really realized that he was hurting you until he gently hugged you and you winced because he accidentally touched the small mark he left the previous night after having another nightmare
Doesn't touch you or sleep with you for a week after that, he already hurt you enough but you don't really care so you coaxed him into sleeping with you again very easily since he missed your warmth a lot
He doesn't really have a morning routine but he does wake up every morning before you so that he can teleport to the Huaguang Stone Forest to pick some Qingxin flowers for you
He's also gets back into your arms right before you wake up so that it seems like he never left in the first place
But you always notice the new fresh bouquet of the beautiful white flower on your desk and thank him for it
T*rtaglia
Listen here ok I'mma be real with y'all
Turbulence sleeps exactly one hour less than normal people but makes it seem like he gets like 2 hours of sleep per night
"Ugh I didn't sleep last night at all😩😏" Like bro stfu
He also makes jokes about sleeping so little because he was with you last night or that he was training so hard or doing a mountain of paper work
While you know damn well he was with you entire night sleeping like a baby right by your side
He sleeps naked solely so that one day when a hypothetical intruder gets into your home he can scare them off by yelling at them while being completely naked 💀
But he will put a pair of pyjamas on if you're uncomfortable
He mostly sleeps on his side because he needs to hold something while he's sleeping, if you aren't with him that night he will hug your pillow and sleep like that
Tagliatelle also doesn't like to sleep when in a cold room so he will have one of those water bottles that people use for back pain and will put one in the pillow he's holding and two in the blanket itself
He's totally a morning person and has no problem with getting out of the bed in less than like 10 minutes unless you ask him not to
If he has a day off he won't sleep in that much but he will curl up beside you and 'accidentally' place his head on your boobs/chest
Y'all saying Terrorism is the caring older brother? WRONG he's the forgotten middle child. we ofc know about Tonia, Anthon and Teucer but he also has two older brothers and at least one older sister
I feel like he's the middle child that had to take all the responsibilities when the older three/four moved out
So yeah he can make a damn fine breakfast for you without skipping a beat
But don't let me even start on his personal hygiene
Like shower are fine ok and he baths once a week only because he can but like
I know damn well his back teeth are ROTTING
He only uses mouthwash and brushes the front and bottom part of the teeth so that they look presentable meanwhile his back teeth got their souls sucked out
Moving on from that Tellurium can't really spend the whole morning with you so he will have to leave you late in the morning.
I want a show about aliens where, unlike in Ancient Aliens, Ryan Bergara and Giorgio Tsoukalos are in a middle of a field at night high as fuck talking about ancient alien theories in soft voices instead of dramatic narration with sucky CGI.
"Yo did you hear about the uncanny valley?"
"Naw what is that?"
"Well basically there is this chart that shows you how much we like humanoid stuff based on how human they are and there is this rapid dip in it that shows that we don't trust stuff that is like 60 to 80 percent human"
"Woooow"
"And like we are the only living things that have it which means that somewhere in the past we were so scared of something not completely human that we are genetically wired to still fear what isn't fully human"
"Sooo Aliens?"
"Aliens"
And I can imagine Shane reacting to it all after they aren't high anymore and arguing with Ryan about everything.
"Ryan there were more than 9 different species of humans it could have been any of them"
"BUT I'M SURE THEY WERE ALL HUMAN ENOUGH TO NOT BE IN THE UNCANNY VALLEY"
