Aaron's pov:

I slammed the door and exhaled heavily. I thought running might help to focus on other things. Other things then Catalina. I have two and a half hours until I told her I would show up at her apartment. Two and a half hours until I would spend the whole evening with her on a date. On a fake date, this stupid little voice in my head reminded me. As if I didn’t know. She is not mine and she might never be. I don’t think that there will come the day that I am the reason for her smile. When she smiles her whole face brightens up. Her eyes start to shimmer and it feels like looking in a night sky full of stars. Her dark brown eyes matched with hair, although they have a golden touch if the sun is shining on it. I remember the day that her appearance got stuck in my had. She was sitting with Rosie in this café. It rained earlier that day but right as I saw her the sun fell on her. She was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. If I hadn't adored her before, that would have been the moment I fell for her. I looked up and automatically I looked at the picture of my mother. „You would love her.“ I whispered with a little smile on my lips.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out just to see an email notification. I unlocked it and immediately started to smile again. Catalina. She should have my number but as stubborn as I know her, she did not saved it. Mr. Blackford. That sounds typical for her and caused a slight smile on my face. I typed in my answer to the question of more details for this evening, the auction. Seconds before my finger pressed send I stopped. I thought about giving her the information she wanted and compered this option, with the one I preferred. I have not been able to think about any thing else this day, so why should I not be a little bit egoistic? I deleted the words and typed in my new answer. I'll be there in an hour. Best, Aaron. So I have one hour to get myself ready. Walking towards my closet I started to think about this evening. Normally I thought about the auction itself but today Catalina dominated my thoughts. What will she be wearing? Will there be a man that will get her interest? What if she meets someone she wants to spend the evening, maybe the whole night with? Should I ask her to dance with me? Would she dance with me? I have never been this nervous before a date and we are only faking it. I picked out the suit I wanted to wear and hurried to take a shower. Half an hour later I am still imagining all possible scenarios for this evening. I am standing in front of a mirror and try to tide my tie. My dad thought me how to tie it in middle school. A casual suit, similar to the suits I wore before. I checked again on myself in the mirror and run my hand through my hair one more time. Then I left.

During the ride to her apartment I turned up the music still trying to think about anything else than the woman I am going to pick up. Even the radio isn’t on my side - only love songs are playing. Why did I even try? She is always on my mind. There hasn’t been nearly any moment with our her in the last twenty months. My life has been the same since that day. At work I’m always trying to be near to Catalina, to see her talk to Rosie or just working and off work I thought about the day, what she was wearing, what she said. The things she said about me are the ones that I overthink all the time. She called me multiple names, not all of them very nice and I can’t figure out if she means them. I know it is my fault, she wanted to be nice on my first day and I messed up and before I realized what stunning woman wanted be to be her friend I became the coworker she can not stand. I turned into her street and parked in front of her building, but I did not get out of the car. The next five minutes I sat there in silence, only focusing on my breath. As I calmed down a little bit I get out and walked up the stairs. I knocked on the door ans a few moments later Catalina opened, wearing a weird jacket and her hair are put up in a messy bun. Wow, she’s beautiful.

part 1

masterlist | taglist

A week after you had confronted Nancy, Steve was getting a bit suspicious as to why the group has been ignoring you. Nobody told him anything, not even you. He needed to get to the bottom of this. 

He picked you up for school this morning, and while you were in the car, he decided to interrogate you. “So, do you have anything you want to tell me babe?” 

“Nope, not at all” you said as you forced a smile onto your face. Steve would be lying if he said he can’t see anything wrong with you, he can practically see right through you even from afar! “Mkay” He smiled back at you. Oh he knew for sure something was wrong. 

–

After he dropped you off, he went to his work and was shocked to see Robin working. Nevertheless, he ignored the reason why she was here and instead focused on his mission to find out what went wrong. 

“Soooo… why are you here?” He teasingly asked Robin, trying to make small talk before getting straight into asking her the question. Robin looked at him with a blank expression on her face “Why do you care, dingus?” before going to the shelves to stack movies.

He then followed her like a lost puppy. “Do you have any plans this weekend?” 

“No” 

“Are you sure? Are you really really sure Robin?” He teased her, and when she turned to look at him, he had a weird smile plastered across his face. “Okay that’s it, what do you want?” 

“Okay, I wanted to ask a question. But don’t be mad when I say it” She looked at him annoyingly as she waited for him to ask the question. “What is going on with you guys and (Y/N)?” 

Robin’s face dropped as she heard the question, “There’s nothing going on between us, okay? You need to let it go” “But–” Steve was interrupted by Robin going into the storage room, slamming the door. He winced, oh boy this would be a long week. 

–

Tuesday finally came, and Steve did his daily routine of fixing his hair and picking and dropping off his girlfriend. As soon as he finished work, he dropped his girlfriend off at her house. This time, he knew who to ask. 

Knock, Knock, Knock

Steve groaned, he’s been knocking for God knows how long. He knocked again, but this time, it was harder than the last few knocks. 

Knock, Knock, Knock

“Jesus, can you wait?” He heard someone mumble from the inside. Finally he thought. 

When the door opened, he was faced with a clearly annoyed Dustin. “What?” Dustin asked with a tone of annoyance in his voice. 

Steve let himself in and waved at Dustin’s mother who was sitting on the couch and made his way to Dustin’s room. “Dude, what do you want?” Dustin asked again. 

“What’s going on?” He said now with his hands on his hip. “What do you mean?” Dustin said, who now had a puzzled look on his face. Steve just stared at him for a few minutes until Dustin finally got the answer. 

“Ok there’s nothing going on between us” 

“But there is” 

“No there isn’t!”

“Yes, there is!” Steve said sternly. “And you will tell me what it is right now. This is (Y/N) we’re talking about. I thought you liked her?” He continued. “I-I do, it’s-I just– it’s very complicated right now” Dustin buried his face in his palm. 

As Dustin sat down, Steve’s face softened at this gesture. He couldn’t stay mad at Dustin no matter how hard he tried. Dustin was practically his child at this point. Sitting down beside him, Steve put his hands on Dustin’s back trying his best to comfort him. 

“Hey, I’m not mad, okay? I just need to know what’s going on between you guys.” He explained softly. Dustin turned to look at him with a specific look on his face that Steve just can’t tell. It’s a look a child gives whenever you’re asking them to pick a side on a divorce. Dustin just couldn’t pick any side. Steve was always there for him, he was like their protector, and he would do anything for them. But so was Nancy, he danced with Dustin when no one else did. He was very confused on whose side to pick. 

“It’s not my position to tell you, and I can’t do it. Maybe someone else from the group, but not me.” Dustin explained. “I can’t do this, Steve,” He added. 

Steve nodded in defeat. He finally let Dustin have his peace, and left the house. But he didn’t give up just yet. 

–

You were studying for a Chemistry test you had for tomorrow when you suddenly heard someone ring your doorbell multiple times. Weird. Who would need you at 9:30 in the evening. Nevertheless, you went downstairs and opened your door. 

Steve was standing outside of your house, holding your favorite snacks. Oh no! I didn’t miss our anniversary, did I? You wondered. 

“Hey, what are you doing here, stranger?” You tried to answer casually. “What, I can’t just visit my beautiful girlfriend?” He said as he leaned in to kiss you. “Of course you can, but not at 9:30 in the evening!” you playfully replied as the two of you made your way to your room. 

Once you were there, you put your stuff away and sat on the bed with Steve. He was still looking at you, but you can see right through him, and instantly knew he either needed something or he needed to apologize. “Okay, what did you do now?” 

Steve put his hands up in the air while saying “Nothing!” repeatedly. You chuckled softly as you kissed him on the lips. When you opened your eyes, he was already looking at you. “That’s it! What do you need?” 

“Wellllll…..” He started as the both of you chuckled, “It’s about the group”. The smile that was once plastered across your face faded as he mentioned the group. 

“What happened to you guys?” 

“Look, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it” You gave him a fake smile but he didn’t buy it. “Please baby, just tell me. I won’t get mad” He kept on insisting. But you knew that if you told me even the slightest thing, the group would hate you more. 

“Steve, please. Just let it go. You won’t get any information from me” You pleaded with him. He took a deep breath before pressing his lips together. “Fine, let’s just hang out. I missed you” He pouted. 

“You literally just saw me a few hours ago, dumbass!” 

– 

Steve had asked multiple people from the group about the thing with (Y/N), they would either always reply “It’s nothing” or would ignore him as well. He was getting tired of it. 

Just as he was about to give up, Nancy walked up to him. “Hey Steve” she shyly said as he smiled back at her. “So we’re having a movie and game night, I was hoping you would come along?” 

Perfect. All of them in one place, no one can make any excuses from him anymore. “Yes, for sure. Where and what time?” He asked. “Our place at 6:30”

“(Y/N) will like this. I’ll see you guys later” He waved Nancy goodbye as he quickly ran away from her leaving her no room to protest. She sighed, disappointed that (Y/N) will be there. Just when she was about to have Steve all to herself. 

–

When he got home, he dialed his girlfriend telling him about how they’re going to a game night and that she should get ready before 6:30 leaving out the specific details about who’s going to be there and where. 

(Y/N) complied and she got ready. Not long after, Steve finally picked her up. 

He put a blindfold over her eyes, telling her that it’s going to be a surprise for her. In reality, he just didn’t want her to be mad at him.

When they got to the Wheeler’s house, he helped his girlfriend climb out of his car and walked to the front porch. With each step closer, the noises from inside the house got louder. 

Steve knocked at the door, hearing “Just a sec” from the other side. Removing the blindfold from his girlfriend’s eyes before facing a dumbfounded Nancy in front of her. “Hi” (Y/N) said softly. 

“Hi. Come on in” Nancy quietly replied. 

Everybody was talking loudly before you came in but as soon as they saw the both of you together, they quieted down. They all just stared on the floor, not sparing eye contact with you. “Uh, Where’s the bathroom?” you asked Nancy. “Just turn right, it’s the door before the kitchen”

You muttered a quick thanks as you pulled Steve with you. 

“Why didn’t you tell me we were going here?” you whispered to Steve “Because I want you guys to finally make up!” 

“It wasn’t gonna happen anyways!” 

“Why not?” He asked. You closed your eyes as you took a deep breath. “Fine, you wanna know the reason why they’re not talking to me?” 

He started to listen attentively to what you were saying. You explained to him how Nancy still likes him, and how she basically turned them against you because you two were dating. To say Steve was pissed would be an understatement. How could they hate you just because you two were dating? Nancy was practically cheating on him emotionally halfway through their relationship. He had enough. He grabbed you along with him and went to the group. 

Once again, they were talking when you two were gone, but as soon as they saw the both of you, the loud talks became whispers. 

“Hey, hey, hey! Listen up everybody” He shouted, causing them to turn their heads to the two of you. “Whatever crap you guys have against (Y/N), it needs to stop now” 

“The relationship me and Nancy had was never sincere, it wouldn’t have worked out anyways! You were cheating on me emotionally with Jonathan while we were still together. So why now? Why are you mad at me for moving on? I accepted you and Jonathan together, you should do the same with me” He pointed at Nancy. 

“She has done so much for you guys, and this is how you repay her?” He asked as their eyes were glued to the floor, unable to look at him directly in his eye. 

“She helped you with Suzie when you guys were fighting,” He told Dustin. “She helped you and Max reconcile your relationship with each other” He looked at Lucas. 

“She didn’t want to leave you alone because she was scared that Vecna might get to you if we did leave you alone” He pointed at Max. “She talked to Vickie for you!” He told Robin. 

“And you, she was kind to you! She dialed Jonathan too many times. It was up to the point where he was annoyed at her just for him to talk to you” He ranted. 

“I don’t know why you guys even did that to her, but I don’t appreciate it.” His hand was now resting on his hip, you tried to hide a smile. Even though the situation was serious, you still can’t help but find this entertaining. He was like a father who was scolding his children for doing something wrong. This was one of the reasons why you fell in love with him. 

“I love (Y/N), she’s my soulmate and my other half. She’s the only one who I really got to be comfortable with. You have to stop treating her like this, she did nothing wrong. If you can’t accept our relationship, then you’ll have to lose me too” He said as he grabbed your hand while heading for the front door. 

“Wait!” you heard a voice say, you turned around to see Robin in front of you with a guilty look on her face. “I’m really sorry (Y/N)” she apologized as she hugged you. Soon, all of them apologized as well. 

The night was spent well, and all of you finally got back to normal again. You looked at Steve and thought “How did I get so lucky?”

Your friends had hated you all because you liked a boy. But you realized, he was not just a boy, he was your soulmate, the love of your life, and the man who you’re most likely going to marry. 

He risked his friendship with those people just for you. In the end, it was worth it. If this boy can risk anything for you, then so can you. You knew from this moment on that your life would change.

And it was all because you liked this boy.

Cooper Van Grootel as Young Jesse in One True Loves (2023).

Inspired by @callmetippytumbles who I blame entirely.

Wednesday and Enid are being help captive by Laurel. The monster is guarding them. He has been staring at Wednesday intently the entire time as has Wednesday right back.

Enid, watching them, trying not to panic or cry: *this is fine*

Enid when the monster moves into Wednesday's space and starts touching Wednesday, playing with her hair, poking her face: 🥲 this is fine

Enid when she realizes the touches are getting less innocent: 😠😡🤬👿🔪🔪🔪

Enid when Wednesday moans and she is faced with the fact that they've been flirting this entire time and Wednesday is actively encouraging this:

Enid, later: that had better have been an elaborate plan to free us because when we get out of this, i am going to kill you.

Wednesday: oh right. We were kidnapped.

Enid: YOU FORGOT?!

Wednesday: *picks the lock on her chains with her hair lockpick*

Enid: *planning an elaborate murder in her head* you are never allowed to complain about anyone i bring into the dorm ever again.

Tyler, hyperventilating: 911? My wife is in labor

Operator: Sir, is this her first child?

Tyler, panicked: NO THIS IS HER HUSBAND-

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS & TYLER GALPIN

WEDNESDAY | 01.07 “If You Don’t Woe Me By Now”

Tyler's dialogue has always resonated with me during this scene, because we haven't seen Wednesday gone back to the coffee since episode 1. Which actually means she went back, but we viewers we just don't haven't seen it done. It happened off screen. So they also probably had scenes that we didn't see. I mention this because antis sometimes like to say that there wasn't enough of a scene between these two for Tyler to say they both seemed to like each other, except in fact, they actually spent more time together than what we saw on screen. In a series, there are always off-screen things happening. And Tyler and Wednesday clearly saw each other off-screen in / between episode 2 and 3. Enough for her to have a very specific habit in her commands. Because yes, to have a habit in a coffee, you obviously have to go there several times.

Also... Something tells me she hasn't had to pay often.
