Ahs X Reader - Tumblr Posts
I support you in the tate interest bc I'm right there with you
Has he done crimes? Ya sure but look at him he's cute!
And I'm intrigued with your modern day fic idea if you wanna share đ
a/n i love you for indulging me <3
also i will be the first to admit that i don't think i ever fully got what AHS apocolypse did to murder house?? like the time travel and new timeline? ig there's no more murder house??
idk i didn't love it so i'm leaving it out partially out of preference and partially out of being a little confused lol,, and i honestly don't want to get into all of that!!
and there's time in between the end of AHS murder house and AHS apocalypse so you can also imagine this is somewhere in there, where season 1 trauma is less fresh to all the characters but not season 8...if that makes sense??
anyways this made me so excited i decided to use this as my homework study break instead of the fic i was working on earlier
----
"And maggots crawl up their nose and eat their brains."
And just like that, I no longer have the luxury of letting whatever Kayla's into these days be just background noise. "Wait a minute..." She looks up from the large book laying in front of her, raising an eyebrow like she had been talking about something any seven-year-old girl could be into. Like brain eating maggots are no different than Barbies or baby dolls. "Maggots?"
"Mhm," she nods, sitting up a little straighter, "It's in my new book, I checked it out at the library."
Kayla lifts one end, giving me a way to check out the cover. 500 Weird Ways to Go. Ugh. Can't blame her, I blame the person raising her. I look away from the dining room table and glare at my mom who's searching through the boxes that have lived on the kitchen counter since we first walked in about a week ago.
"What?" My mom doesn't even have to look up to sense my disappointment. "It's educational, and you were into some weird stuff, too when you were seven." She pushes aside the box she's looking through in favor of the one next to it. "...Used to tell me how much bacteria a single roach could carry."
I set down my pencil. "Doesn't matter--Kayla's been having nightmares." The trig homework was frustrating before and I can't tell if this is worse. "It's not appropriate." She walks away from the boxes, giving me a chance to see the low cut, silky tank she's wearing. "And neither is that top if that's what you're wearing for the PTA meeting."
"Lighten up, sweetheart." I don't. She sighs, nails tapping against the counter. "Y'know you used to be fun."
"Yeah, well," I stand, picking up my school supplies, awkwardly forcing them all into my arms, "That was before some crazy lady forced me to move halfway across the country to live in some house that we shouldn't even be able to afford."
Her glossy lips fall apart in mock surprise, "I'm not crazy." She shakes her head once, "And I've told you...the financial stuff just worked, okay...so just relax and be a kid for once. Worry about decorating your room, or-or making friends, or throwing a rager and making me hate you."
I am so not in the mood for the you worry too much speech. "Lot of ways for me to make you hate me." Before she can respond, I reach over and steal the mug of coffee she had been drinking from. "Just saying."
I walk out of the kitchen, mug and school supplies all awkwardly balancing in my arms until I'm in what's supposed to be my room.
There's nothing wrong with the space. Actually, in another situation, I'm sure I could have really loved this space. The room has dark blue walls and wood arches that make it feel unique. It also came pre-furnished and everything feels like it fits. But none of it feels mine.
Maybe it's just the lack of unpacking...the boxes of posters and personal items pouring over the dresser and onto the floor...the suit case I'm still living out of. Or maybe the good qualities of the room are the issue. It's put together so perfectly I feel like I'm what's wrong with it. Like I'm intruding--a guest in someone else's room...someone else's house...someone else's life.
Sometimes when I can't sleep I imagine what it might've been. Some nights it even slips into my dreams. The story rarely stays the same...sometimes it's a teenage girl who wanted to be here even less than I do...other times I picture a little kid who grew up here...and sometimes I even think of this as some boy's room that relies on rock music and doesn't get along with his mom.
None of that matters, I guess. It's my room, obviously, and imagining who might have lived here before won't help me with my homework. I squeeze my eyes shut, rubbing my temple before turning my attention back to the real villain. Trigonometry.
I breeze through most of the questions as much as anyone can breeze through trigo until I'm on the last one. I'm stuck. I work on it again and again and it keeps being wrong.
I sigh, grabbing a pillow and using it to muffle my groan of frustration. How many times can I do what I'm supposed to do and still get it wrong? I pick up my eraser, knowing what I should do. I should just start over. Instead of dragging it across the page I throw it across the room.
Instead of smacking into the door and falling to the ground, the door pushes back. I sit up quicker than I thought possible.
"Warm welcome." The sarcasm comes from the stranger lingering way too comfortably in my doorway. His dark eyes scan the room before landing on me. He takes in my appearance openly, which I'm not used to, so I instinctually do the same. He seems like he's average height with blonde hair that's long enough to shag slightly and he's wearing an oversized sweater. "Cool room, by the way."
"Uh..." He's definitely lying, because all I've fully unpacked are a couple of books, a few pictures, my record player, and a single movie poster. "Thanks."
I'm not stupid. I know home intruders can be anyone, even cute boys that look like they're around your age and act casual enough to gaslight you into feeling like you're the weird one for not inviting them in. But if that's the goal, he's really good at it. I feel awkward and like I should be doing something to compensate.
"Sorry about the eraser." The words feel flat, almost shy. "That wasn't--wasn't about you--" Like I wouldn't have been well within my rights to throw something at someone who may or may not be breaking into my house. "That was...trig."
He nods once and I can't tell if it feels indifferent. I'm not sure why it matters. The stranger steps further into my room, his attention briefly focusing on the framed photo of a younger me and one of my best friends from back home. He's closer than a stranger should be now, close enough to lean over and look at my homework, which he does.
"Uh..." I sit up even straighter, a part of me wanting to grab my notebook and shield it even though that's irrational. There isn't anything he can get from it. "Who are you?"
The stranger holds my stare for a beat before answering, "I'm Tate." I nod, even though that does nothing for me. "I live around here."
Okay--that makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't be surprised if my mom ran into him on her way out and waved him down and told him to just let himself in and find her oldest daughter. Maybe this is an ambush attempt at getting me to make friends.
"Oh," I mumble like that explains everything, "Did my mom stop you?" The assumption feels like it could make me seem weird. I don't know why I feel like I'm the one that needs to come off as casual when he's the one that has less of a right to be here. "She invites people in sometimes, especially when she's new to a place." I scratch my knee to have something to physically do. "She never thinks anyone could be a murderer."
Oh my god?! Did I just accuse the only attractive guy I've met here of being a murderer? "Not that I think you're a murderer." I fight the urge to physically cringe. "--I um--I've been doing math for way longer than physically tolerable so my head's kinda mush right now."
"Explains why you divided wrong." Before I can ask what he's talking about, Tate places his finger against the bottom of the page. I look at what he's pointing at, some throwaway basic math...that I messed up. That's why it wasn't working.
"Oh?" I pick up my pencil and cross out my mistake so that I remember where to start over. "You totally saved my life." I rewrite the numbers so that I can actually solve the problem. "I'm Y/n, by the way."
Only halfway done with my math problem, I look up. He didn't ask for my name, which doesn't matter. Maybe he feels less comfortable in a stranger's room than he seems or maybe I've weirded him out and he has no intentions of speaking to me again. Not knowing is making my skin feel like it's crawling. It doesn't make sense for me to care.
I want him to like me. The realization burrows itself deep into my chest. It's an uncomfortable feeling, making it hard to just sit there and stare.
I've never considered myself someone that needs validation from guys, but this doesn't feel quite like that. School hasn't seemed too promising and every day I talk to my friends from home or I see their posts online and realize that they still have everything I did. I'm not mad about it or surprised--the world doesn't and shouldn't stop and start with me--but it hurts to suddenly have no one. And even though I know nothing about him, Tate's the first remotely cool seeming person I've met.
He waits a beat, eyes focused on a point that feels just past my head. I don't know why, but something about the silence feels pivotal. Tate then dips his chin downwards, a nod of acknowledgement. "Cool."
Tate takes a partial step forward, body angling itself towards the nightstand that I've been using for my record player. "This work?"
"Yeah," I turn myself so that I can watch him, "I know everything's online, but I like having physical copies." My nails press into my knee.
Tate reaches forward to mess with the volume dial. "What kind of music do you have?"
"A little of everything," I force my hand to relax, "But most of my vinyls are still being shipped."
His eyes briefly flit in my direction, "Got anything worth listening to?"
"Uh..." Is he implying that he's staying? Do I want him to? I'm lonely and kind of desperate for friends, but I should probably at least try to be a little suspicious. "We can listen to whatever you want on my..." I move a pillow and straighten my comforter in search of my, "Phone."
After a second of searching, I find it under my textbook.
"Anything?"
I unlock my phone, "Yeah, your pick, I owe you for the math thing."
Tate shrugs, "I just wanted to make sure you'd stop at the eraser, y'know, as a friend."
He gestures towards the door in a way that almost feels teasing. I can barely register the fact that he's kind of making fun of me because my mind's stuck on the last word. "We're friends?"
"You wanna be?"
The bluntness of the question surprises me more than it should. He's yet to feel particularly invested in social norms. "...Yeah." I scratch at the back of my wrist awkwardly. "That'd--that'd be cool."
Tate's head turns his head away for a second. He takes a step forward before sitting at the edge of my bed. The proximity nearly makes me jump out of my skin. I redirect my nervous energy into grabbing my homework and moving it to the other side of the bed. "You got any Kurt Cobain on there?"

a/n i accidentally developed the background way too much for something idek if i'm going to touch on again but i spent all day doing hw and deserved to give into a harmless impulse

Could you do one of Tate on a rainy day?
Rain and Cake Wars(Tate Langdon)
summary: you and tate watch cake wars on a rainy day
no warnings, just like one bad word lol
hi! thankyou for sending in the requests, i love getting requests always! i didnât know if you wanted smut or fluff but the request sounded like fluff soâŚi hope you like it :)
Your house was extra dark and gloomy today since it was rainy and cloudy outside. You liked it though. The rain comforted you and so did the lack of light. You laid in your bed listening to music, trying to drown out the noise of your parents watching tv-the volume almost at 100. As you laid in your bed with the only light source being your lava lamp, you heard a rustling noise. You look up where your lava lamp was because you couldn't see anywhere else. The noise stopped and all you could hear again was the rain pounding on your window and your music. You closed your eyes again. Then the same noise repeated. Your heart sank, you jump up from your bed and see Tate. Before you could scream from the surprise in the corner of your room, Tate put his hand over your mouth. "Shh, it's just me." Tate whispered. It's not like you were afraid of Tate, he just always manages to startle you whenever he makes an entrance. Tate lowered his hand slowly. "You know, you should really give me some kind of warning that you're here instead of creepily stumbling in from the dark." You huffed. Your heart still going 80 miles an hour. "I'm sorry.." Tate apologized. You gave sighed and gave him a hug, "Glad you're here though." Tate smiled, "So, what do you wanna do?"
You and Tate end up cuddled in your bed, watching baking shows. You liked watching these with Tate. Not only were you comforted by the rain but Tate and Cake Wars?! Nothing felt like a better day. Tate glided his thumb over your hand. It was the moments like these were you could just forget the rest of the world. "Bet you that girls gonna get out. She really fucked up when she forget to take the cake out of the oven." Tate laughed. You laughed with him. "Tell me what you do when you're not with me Tate." You said. Tate was stuck in the house 24/7 and he's not always with you so you wondered, what does the teenage blonde do? "Well...I mingle with the other ghosts sometimes." He responded. "Like who?" You asked. "Not much of a good pick here but the most people I talk to is Moira...I play with Beau sometimes, and Nora is the sweetest to me." Tate replied. You thought about the list of people he named. Moira seemed weird, you weren't sure what they would really talk about. Beau was his brother so that's not so out of the ordinary. Nora is like a second mom to him so that's definitely not weird.Â
"That's all you do?" You questioned. "Well when i'm not with you, i'm thinking about you so I guess you could say that's not the only thing I do." Tate smirked. "Also when you hear music and don't know where it's coming from, that's probably me." "I also mess with your dad sometimes...knock books off the shelf, turn the lights off and on- you know, ghost things." You laughed, now you know why your dad feels like he's crazy sometimes. You had nothing to worry about, you trusted Tate. "Hm, what an interesting ghost life you live." You smiled at Tate. He kissed you on the forehead. "No more talking, we're gonna miss who gets eliminated." Tate said. You put your attention back onto the screen. The girl Tate was sure was gonna lose, was eliminated from the show. "Told you." Tate snickered.

âIts no problem tate.â Y/n smiled over at him. He and his mother had gotten into a rather large fight and he didnât want to stay alone.
Tate nodded and shrugged. âIts not exactly the best environment.â
Y/n smiled over at him. âTate, its fine. Iâm just happy to get to spend time with you.â
Tate smiled and grabbed her hand. âCome on, Iâll let you borrow a shirt to sleep in.â
âThank you.â Y/n blushed following after him.
Once that was settled they both climbed into his bed to sleep for the night.
âGoodnight, Y/n.â Tate whispered.
âGoodnight, Tate.â Y/n whispered back

âSorry.â Tate shuffled awkwardly.
âWhat's wrong?â Y/n asked looking at him when she heard his response. Very un Tate like.
âDo you care? I could just leave like you want.â Tate scoffed not believing that she really wanted to know.
âI said itâs creepy, Iâm not heartless. What happened?â Y/n patted the spot beside her, inviting him to sit by her and tell her what was bothering him.

âWh-who are y-you?â Y/n stuttered out as she saw strangers in her house.
âReally? Have you not figured it out yet?â One fo the men said with disgust.
âGive her a break. SHeâs been busy.â The woman spoke softly.
âYeah, to busy to notice all the extra peoplerunning around the house.â The other man agreed with the woman.
âWhat?â Y/n asked feeling her whole body start shaking.
âEnough! Time for some fun.â The first one spoke again, smirking. An with that Y/n took off running scarred out of her mind.
âWoah, woah, woah. Slow down or youâll break your neck.â Tate grabbed her before she could fall.
âI-I, their-â Y/n shook her head frantically.
âWoah. Slow down. Whatâs wrong? Your shaking.â Tate furrowed his brow in completely worry.
âTheir- their coming after me.â She stuttered shaking even more.
âYour all Dicks! You know that?! None of you wanted to die and get stuck here. SO why are you all doing it to others?!â Tate screamed at the ghosts on the second level, holding Y/n tight to his chest. Trying to soothe her.
âCome on,Iâll stay by your side.â he whispered in her ear pulling her back up the stairs in his arms. Taking her back to her room.
âB-but when you l-leave -â Y/n shuddered
âIâm not gonna leave. Iâll stay near by when you canât see me, Iâm stilling gonna be their. Okay?â Tate reassured her as he helped her change into her pjâs.
âPromise?â she asked looking up at him with frightened eyes.
âI promise.â Tate stated sternly.
âAre you sure that they wonât-â
âIâm sure.â Tate held her hand tight to give her reassurance.
âTrust me, you have more than me on your side. Now lets get you to sleep. Iâll be here the whole time. I promise.â Tate settled into bed with Y/n holding her tightly which was helping to calm her nerves. âI promise.â

ur fav x reader
~~~
Theyâre standing in front of you, looking at you with so much awe and love you would think they fell in love with you all over again. They might as well have.
âI donât know what I would do without you. How could I? You, my love, are my whole life. Youâve lit up my life in a way people have tried but failed at doing so. My love you did it all and more. As cheesy as it sounds life has no meaning without you in it. Although I didnât know it at first, when I first saw you my heart knew that I wanted you and only you. To spend the rest of eternity with you even if you didnât return my feelings.â they say full with love.
Tears are falling from both of you eyes at this point. This is all youâve ever wanted from someone and here you are. Getting the love youâve been waiting for and deserved.
âDonât cry now my love. People can only dream to cherish you the way I get too. Our love for each other is the reason I can wake up and continue living in a world thatâs constantly changing.â they finish, giving you a sweet smile while looking deep into your eyes.
âYou, my love, my life, you are my world no matter what anyone says,â you start, âif anyone dares to come between us they wonât succeed. Our love is too strong for not one, not ten, but over a thousand people to conquer. I canât imagine a life without you my love. You will always be the first person I turn to when Iâm in need. I love you with my heart, my soul, and my eternity.â
As you finish speaking theyâre starring at you. âHow could someone so perfect want someone like them?â they wonder, not knowing how much they matter to you.
âI love you with my heart, my soul, and my eternity as well my love.â they say.
Sealing you words and fate with a passionate kiss, you realize how lucky you are. To find someone who understands you, who loves you, and who sees you for who you are and not your past mistakes.
You couldnât be happier.

Warnings / Misc. -- Fluff, Happy Ending
I envisioned a female reader as I wrote this, but there's nothing to stop a male / non binary / genderfluid person from feeling the love!
A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first writing, and constructive criticism is welcome. Feel free to request, all I ask is that you have an idea of what you want. We can come up with something together if you're not too sure, no worries! As always, comments and feedback are much appreciated. I hope you enjoy! đ
SPECIAL THANKS: I want to thank @imagines4thepeeps for encouraging me to post this and showing me the ropes!

"Misty, it's just a little sprain! Nothin' to get all bent outta shape over." You laugh incredulously, rolling your eyes at her. "You got hurt, and I'm not gonna just let you be in pain for no reason. Now just sit there and look pretty while I find the right spell." She replies, matter-of-factly. Arguing with Misty never seemed to go anyone's way except hers; she has a funny way of always sounding right and logical. So, you do what she said to.Â
The soft hum of a Fleetwood Mac song moseys into the room, filling your ears with the sweet melody, making everything peaceful. You look around the room for something to occupy your mind, while she sifts through her book in the adjacent room; your attention is momentarily captured by the glass of sweet tea she brought you earlier, the condensation slowly dripping down it. As strange as it sounds, sitting there looking at the glass, you feel something swell within your chest. You love her. You'd known for a long time, and you'd had to come to terms with your feelings. The way she was just so gentle and good, never meaning harm or having wicked intentions like so many others you'd encountered before. She was perfect and pure, and you wanted nothing more than to protect and cherish her forever.Â
And in your dreams, you did. They were wonderful, pleasant fantasies; they felt like that rush of warm summer air you feel as you step outside, into the sun. Or like the smell of sweet lavender as you ride your bike down the streets, feeling the light drizzle of cool water from your neighbors watering their gardens. It was warm and safe, and you never wanted to leave that place. But sadly, your reality is far different than that paradise.Â
The sound of her voice calling to you pulls you from your thoughts. "--you alright? You were in your own little world there for a bit." She smiles, looking down at you. You can't help but do the same, the look on her face making your heart speed up. Whenever she paid you any attention -- however small it might be -- you were giddy. "Yeah, I'm good." You tell her, and you feel your walls begin to rise back up. "D'you find the incantation?" Her eyes analyze you for a moment before she answers you. "Sure did, sweet thang. I just need ya ta' sit up for me. Here--" she says, reaching out a hand. You take it, and she eases you up, before helping you lean back on the couch; she crouches at your feet. "Ya know Mist, I didn't injure my whole body... you're treatin' me like I'm fragile." Without missing a beat, she says, "Well you are, Y/N. That's why I love ya so much."
 Her words nearly knock the wind from your lungs. She loves you? Surely not like that. The way she said it so freely, so unafraid; those same words that you've been repeating to yourself for months, like a mantra, trying to find the right way to confess. And here she is, so gorgeous in the lazy, fading sunlight, simultaneously calming you down and making you nervous as hell. She quickly furrows her brow, looking up at you from her crouched position in front of you. Mustering up all the courage that you possess, you say, "I need to show you something." She just nods, reassuring you that she understands. You tenderly take her hand within your own, creating the physical bond required to show her your world. She gazes into your eyes, growing serious and curious all at once. "Show me, darlin'."Â
With that, you begin. Warmth and radiance fills your senses, the dazzling aromas and sights following suit. You allow her to experience everything you feel when you see her; the giddiness, the excitement, the pleasure. It's unexplainable, but you manage to show her all of it; how protective you feel of her, how precious she is to you, all the things you never knew how to tell her on your own. Then, you let her in on some memories -- the main one being the first time you realized you love her. After that, you slowly release the bond, letting her get prepared for the juxtaposition of realities. Something drips down your cheek as you open your eyes; itâs a tear, and you wipe it away before she can see it. Her eyes stay closed for what feels like an eternity, causing you to sink down into the cushion and prepare for the worst.Â
âWell... there ya go.â You let out a singular, nervous chuckle, before looking down and biting your lip. There was no way you could look her in the eyes as she rejected you. You sneak a glance at her, and find her eyes open; she has a gorgeous, awestruck look on her face. âThat was beautiful.â She utters, sounding breathless. âIâve never felt so accepted and loved before... why didnât you tell me sooner?â You raise your head, meeting her gaze. âI was afraid. I mean, youâre so you and Iâm just me. I could never measure up.â Instead of wasting oxygen on telling you all the reasons youâre wrong and sheâs right, she leans forward and kisses you.Â
Itâs sweet and gentle, just like her, but it holds so much passion that you know youâd swoon if you were standing up. Her left hand cradles your head, and she moves to deepen the embrace. A few more alluring kisses later, you pull away and lean your forehead against hers and smile. âGod, I never even imagined that this could happen. Iâve wanted to do that for so long.â You confess, feeling the weight lift off of your chest. âMe too, sugar.â She starts, pulling away further to look in your eyes. âEver since that cookout we had months ago.â Your eyes widen and your jaw drops. âReally? That was only, like, the third time weâd seen each other.â She shrugged in her nonchalant way, saying, âIt was enough for me. Part of me knew as soon as I met you. Another one of my traits, I guess. I felt a little pang of something when we first introduced ourselves... I just couldnât tell what it meant at the time. But itâs clear now.â She says, running her fingers through some of your hair. âI love you so much. Almost as much as Stevie.â She whispers the last part in your ear, rolling forward and climbing beside you on the sofa. You gasp, shocked by her words. âIâm honored.â Your lips find hers, already accustomed to them. âI love you, too. I think weâve established that, though.â She laughs loudly, and your heart soars. With your ankle forgotten about, the two of you spend the rest of the night together, tangled in each others arms, dizzy with excitement for the future.

It wasnât supposed to be like this. Youâd think after everything youâve been through together -- the ups and downs, constant tension and ever-changing circumstances, literal hell and back -- things wouldâve found a way to work out. But right now, as you mindlessly twist the band around your finger, it all seems pretty hopeless. Memories of the night she gave you that ring come flooding into your mind:
âDarling, you look absolutely stunning.â At the sound of Cordeliaâs voice, you turn your head towards her and smile. âRight back at you, sweetheart.â You quip, lowering the heat of the burner and wrapping an arm around her. She settles against your side, pulling you ever closer into her magical embrace. âHere, taste it.â You quickly gather some of the sauce onto the spoon and hold it to her lips, once itâs cooled down. Judging by the look that she gives you and the ethereal sound that she lets out after she tries it, itâs safe to say that she approves. âItâs delicious.â You blush lightly, still just as excited by her praise as ever. âItâs new, some type of Italian sauce for the pasta. Misty let me use some basil from her garden.â A wide grin spreads across your face and you raise your eyebrows at that last fact -- anytime Misty gives you fresh ingredients for a new dish, it usually turns out amazing. âShe did, did she?â Delia asks, smirking lightly. You hum in response, and she kisses your temple. âLetâs eat.â You declare, before plating up the food.
Full and content, you look at Cordelia across the table. âThank you for tonight, love.â You bow your head, smiling as you return her gaze. âMy pleasure. I know youâve had a lot going on recently with the girls, and I wanted to treat you to a nice meal.â At that, she sits unwavering for a moment, before a look of affirmation crosses her face. âAnd that is precisely the reason that Iâm giving you this,â she states, pulling a small box from her pocket. âIâve been realizing just how in love with you I am, Y/N. Youâve been by my side through it all, and I promise to do the same for you. I wanted to give you something to remind you of that, and I figured this would suffice.â She says, voice shaky with emotion, as she slips the ring onto your finger. âI donât know what to say, Delia. Thank you... I love you so much.â You utter, tears in your eyes. She moves closer to you, enveloping you in her arms and keeping you close.Â
The distant sound of a dog barking brings you back down to Earth. The bed had grown cold a long time ago, and the smell of her perfume was beginning to fade. Attempting to take your mind off of it, you slink down to the kitchen for some warm tea. Needless to say, that was a horrible idea. As you wait for it to steep, your eyes wander to the dining table; the same table that you had shared many meals, âI love youâsâ, tearful reconciliations, and other defining moments in your relationship. As much as you try to fool yourself, the truth is blatantly obvious; everything reminds you of her. After all, when someone becomes your world, you tend to find them in everything. Whether it be the golden rays of sunlight shining on you to remind you of her angelic hair, or even the chill that goes up your spine at the memory of her hands all over you, you canât escape your thoughts. Itâs sweet torture, working to tear you down and build you back up all at once. As you taste the tea, her flavor comes to mind. Countless hours spent kissing and making love had made you accustomed and fine tuned to her. Knowing her body like the back of your hand was proving to be a blessing and a curse. Â
As you sit alone with your thoughts, a sudden wave of anger washes through you. Without restraint, your cup flies across the room and shatters against the wall. Warm, salty tears spill from your eyes and flow relentlessly down your cheeks; youâre too drained to wipe them away. âY/N? Are you alright?â Itâs Misty. Sweet, loving, Misty. She takes a seat beside you, rubbing soothing circles on your back. âNo, Iâm not, Mist. I miss her so much, I just donât see how I so royally fucked this up.â It was no secret to the Coven that the two of you were taking some time apart, to put things nicely. After all, it wasnât hard for the girls to see when something was wrong with the power couple of the house. âI know itâs hard, but I canât stand to see you upset like this. Iâve dealt with more than enough suffering in my life,â she pauses for a moment, âso take my advice: go after her. Sitting here, wallowing in your sadness, doesnât give you any chance at making the situation better.âÂ
You let out a shaky breath, looking into her eyes. âI want to, but what if she doesnât want me anymore?â At this, Misty lets out a small chuckle, shaking her head in disbelief. âY/N, that woman will always want you. Sheâs hurt, of course, but she needs you now more than ever. This isnât where your story ends⌠I just know it. Now go.â She says with conviction. The corners of your lips lift slightly, forming a soft smile. âThank you, Misty. I love you.â You wrap her in a much needed hug, happy to have such an amazing person in your life. âI love ya, too. Now go get your girl.â She jests. Quickly grabbing your keys and wallet, you make a beeline for the door. Misty was right, as always: staying idle was doing you no good. âGood luck!â You take another look to find the source of the voice, and spot Zoe smiling at you from around the corner of the hall, giving you a thumbs up. The other girls are piled around her, and they quickly scurry off to try and hide the fact that they were eavesdropping. You laugh softly. âThanks, girls.âÂ
