Always Be You
Description: George is so scared of losing you that he puts all his cards on the table. Blurting out his feelings is always a good idea right?
Being friends with George was awesome. So fucking awesome. From being each others bus buddies from the age of 5 to 18 and having almost every class together. Y/n had been his neighbour since he began primary.
Now, several years later they were just as close. Eachothers emergency contacts, biggest supporters, and as you could probably guess long time crush.
His mum told him probably a thousand times that they would end up together. Everytime she caught her son waiting for her to text back or when he'd leave for school early to have enough time to pick her up.
George fell for her after though his soul knew since the first time they met. When he finally figured out she also liked him he thought it was something he had missed his chance on.
The day his mum telling him that she liked him, only for him to shake his head and run off to his bedroom.
Now, he stood infront of her apartment. He was there for a party and to meet her new "friend" Michael.
She had asked him to come as a favour and wasn't given any details.
He seethed at the thought of him. He had not wanted to go, but knew this meant a lot to you. Knocking on the door you opened it.
Wearing a dress he bought for you and earrings his mother gave you. You looked like a dream come true.
"George! Its about time you got here" you said as you ushered him in. He loved the feeling of her hands on him.
Walking in he was met with the smell of something delicious cooking on the stove and the flat empty.
"Where's everyone else?" He asked, he was mentally freaking out that it might just be the three of you.
"No one, just us" she confessed "I have something important I wanted to ask.
A million worries came to him as he stood in the same kitchen he spent many late nights in. He nodded for her to keep going.
"So I know you're worried about me and Michael-"
"I'm in love with you!" He shouted. The fuze of his heart being lit in the same amount it took to explode "And I have been for awhile. I know you don't love me anymore but I can't have you talking about him around me" he wanted to cry "I just can't"
He slumped into the barstool. You watching him with an open open mouth
"I'm in love with you too" you said, your voice barely above a whisper. 8 year old you would have fainted at this point. Admitting it to your diary was nothing to admitting it to the man himself.
She had known longer but let the feelings inside her simmer. She gave up hope, but a little bit of her never gave up. Now seeing the man in front of her she was glad she kept it.
He flung himself up, kissing you passionately. His weight on you a gentle indication of how much he truly loved you. Finally backing away yo let you each breathe. She looks at him with a Dazed look
"Now back to why I invited you over, Michael is getting married and I was hoping you'd be my plus one...everyone else is coming to the party in 20, I just wanted to ask before" George rolled his eyes, not at her but at his own silly jealousy.
"Yeah I'd love to come" he leans in, kissing her again "As long as I can go as your boyfriend" she pretended to think, tapping her finger but before she could answer he leaned in again.
"Your mum is going to explode when we tell her" his face fell. He had to do something he hated, telling his mum that she was right.
I am really enjoying your stories. It was a great day when I discovered you.
This is so sweet oh my goodness!! I'm hoping you stick around, I love having you here ♡♡♡
So we were both thinking about an Arthur at the zoo fic. Loved it girlie, tysm. You are on a roll. Yoooo - 🐤

Anything Arthurtv that includes jealousy from his side would be welcome
a/n: hope you like it, also thanks so much for the request:)
Summary: Arthur and Y/N have been best friends since university, navigating content creation, late-night edits, and awkward fan comments about their “will-they-won’t-they” dynamic. But everything shifts when Arthur notices Y/N getting close to someone new—someone who isn’t him. When jealousy rears its head, Arthur is forced to confront feelings he’s buried for far too long.
Arthur Frederick was sulking. Not in a dramatic, over-the-top way—he wasn’t that type. No, this was the subtle, broody kind of sulking that came with barely concealed glares at his phone, grumbles under his breath, and editing a video with far more keyboard slamming than necessary.
“Jesus, Arthur, did Premiere Pro personally offend you or something?”
You peeked around the corner of his desk, a half-smile on your face as you held up two mugs—one coffee, one tea. You knew his preference depending on the hour.
Arthur muttered something unintelligible but reached for the tea anyway. “Thanks.”
You raised an eyebrow, settling on the armrest of his gaming chair, the way you always did when you wanted to distract him. “You okay?”
“I’m fine.” He sipped his tea too aggressively. “Just tired.”
Right. Sure. He’d been off since last night, when you posted an Instagram story of you laughing with Lewis—your new coworker at the BBC. You were aware of Arthur’s disapproval, but you hadn’t expected him to spiral into petty silence.
You narrowed your eyes. “Did Lewis do something to you?”
Arthur snorted. “Aside from showing up in my life uninvited and hijacking your attention? No.”
You blinked. “What?”
“I said nothing,” he muttered, returning to his screen.
You tilted your head, resting your chin on your palm. “Arthur.”
“What?”
You leaned in. “No way… you’re actually jealous.”
His fingers froze above the keyboard.
He didn’t respond, but the red tint creeping up his ears said it all.
You grinned. “Oh my god. You are.”
Arthur spun in his chair to face you. “I’m not jealous. He’s just… I don’t trust his jawline.”
You laughed—loud and warm. “His jawline?”
“It’s too sharp. Like, cartoonishly sharp. I feel like it could cut glass.”
“Arthur.” You laughed again. “You’re being ridiculous.”
He rubbed the back of his neck, not meeting your eyes. “He looks at you weird.”
You blinked. “Weird how?”
“Like he already knows he’s gonna ask you out. Like he thinks he has a chance.”
You blinked again. “What if he does?”
Arthur finally looked at you, something raw and vulnerable flickering across his face. “Does he?”
The room stilled.
You weren’t sure when things changed between you and Arthur. Maybe it was the late nights editing side-by-side, knees brushing. Or the way he made your coffee exactly how you liked it without asking. Or how he never let you walk home alone after filming, even if it meant taking a train an hour out of his way.
Or maybe it was the way he looked at you now, like you were the only thing anchoring him in the world.
“No,” you said, softly. “He doesn’t.”
Arthur let out a slow breath. “Good.”
You rolled your eyes, but your heart was hammering. “Still doesn’t explain why you acted like a grumpy cat all day.”
“I wasn’t—”
“Arthur, you full-on growled when I mentioned his name earlier.”
He didn’t deny it.
Silence settled between you again, thick and expectant. You broke it.
“You could’ve just said something, you know.”
“Like what? ‘Hey Y/N, it’s totally normal that I want to punch your coworker because I have repressed feelings for you and get irrationally angry when anyone else gets your attention’?”
You laughed. “Yes. Exactly like that.”
Arthur cracked a small smile. “I thought I was being subtle.”
“You were about as subtle as a car alarm.”
He sighed, looking up at you. “Okay. I like you.”
You stared at him. “Say it again.”
He blinked. “I… like you?”
“No, I mean—say it like you mean it.”
Arthur stood up, hands settling on your hips like it was instinct. “I like you, Y/N. I think I’ve liked you since you made fun of my mic setup in uni.”
You laughed again. “It was held together by duct tape and hope.”
“And yet you still sat beside me in every lecture.”
“I didn’t want you to suffer alone.”
He leaned closer. “You still don’t want me to suffer alone?”
You smiled. “Depends. Are you going to glare at everyone who talks to me?”
“Probably.”
You shrugged. “Then yeah. Still don’t want you to suffer alone.”
His forehead pressed against yours. “You know I’d never actually stop you from being friends with anyone.”
“I know. But I’m glad you were jealous. It means you care.”
“I’ve always cared.”
You kissed him—slow, certain, like you’d been waiting for this moment through every video, every shared laugh, every almost-touch.
And when he kissed you back, it wasn’t awkward or new. It felt like coming home.
Later that night, Arthur posted a new vlog. It had nothing to do with relationships, yet the comments lit up:
“Is it just me or is Arthur glowing???” “Tell me he finally got with Y/N or I riot.” “That ‘I like you’ better be on camera somewhere.”
You scrolled through the replies, smirking as you cuddled closer to him on the couch. “Fans know.”
Arthur didn’t look up from his phone. “Let them guess. Builds suspense.”
You snorted. “You’re such a tease.”
He grinned. “But only for you.”

Arthur with a reader who hates alcohol?
This is such a cute idea!! I changed it slightly?
Description: Meeting a cute girl at the pub leaves Arthur in a dream like state. All he has to remember her is a coke...and her number.
"Wow, you drink all those yourself?" Arthur heard, looking up he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
He looked at the table, all his mates left their empty glasses with him. Arthur had been too invested in his online chess to even notice them leaving.
"No! Only like..none?" He said, which wasn't untrue. He had a can of pepsi "just this" he pointed to the line can. The girl nodding and sitting at the table next to his
"So I'm guessing your friends left you?" He nodded "same, apparently they saw a karaoke machine" she said with a huff. Arthur nodded giggling. As she was talking he noticed the things she was holding. A can of coke and her phone,
"Where do they have coke!?" Interrupting her to ask she looked down at her hand. Her placing it down infront of him.
"You can have it, if you want?" She offered "I brought it from home, I'm the designated driver" Arthur shook his head.
"I can't take yours!" She pushed the can closer to him. Him picking it up, surprised It was still cold
"I insist, maybe you could give me your number as a thank you?" She asked, her cheeks becoming warm at the offer.
Arthur quickly closed the chess app and opened it to his contacts and handed her the phone.
"I wouldn't mind having your name too?" He asked, his cheeks also now warm with embarrassment. He was sure his friends were going to tease him for having the girl ask him rather than the reverse.
"I'm Y/n" she handed back his phone, the name and number entered along with a text "and you?"
"I'm Arthur" he cracked open the Coke, and took a sip. Watching her as she made him a contact, he was caught off guard when she aimed the camera at him and snapped a pic for the contact photo.
"Could I buy you a drink?" He offered, her saying no and explaining she didn't drink, not that she disapproved of it, just wasn't her thing.
The two spent a few hours chatting, mostly about their friend groups and where they grew up. She was smart, witty, funny, and laughed at all his jokes. He could feel his cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
"I should probably go find my friends now, they get weird when I'm not around" as if on que a loud groaning of Y/ns name was heard. The two shared a chuckle before she wandered off.
Just as soon as she left Chris came over to the table. Seeing the googly eyes Arthur was giving the girl walking away he smirked
"Has someone stolen your heart hmm?" He asked as he slapped his back. The touch scaring Arthur a little.
"Yeah..well no!" He was now completely red "we exchanged numbers and she gave me this" he lifted the coke.
"Wow" Chris raised his eyebrows "she's a keeper. But if you're ready to come back down to earth we are going to a different pub now"
The two men stood and joined the rest of their group as they walked. The cold English night nipping at Arthur's cheeks.
This was far from his first time having a crush on some random girl at a pub, but he didn't know. Y/n seemed different. From how easily he found talking to her, to the way she took the reigns in their conversation.
The rest of the group were all too wrapped up in their own buzzed worlds to notice how he had a small smile and a tight grip on his phone.
He wondered all about her. Did she like football? Was she an animal lover? Would she like to film content with him?
As these questions circled around his mind he felt a buzz from his phone. Looking down it was a message from Y/n.
💬 I'm free Tuesday if you would be down to grab coffee?
His whole body felt like it was on speed. He was practically vibrating. He was so excited he completely forgot the meeting he had planned for Tuesday.
💬 I could bring a coke if you preferred
Arthur responded quickly, he hated letting messages sit
💬 Tuesday works! Meet at Cafe Loretta at maybe like 10??
From down the opposite direction of the pub, Y/n responded
💬 I'll see you then :)
Oh well. That's a future Arthur's problem, he was currently basking in the warmth that was a pretty girls attention. And man could he get used to this pretty girl.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO WRITES FOR JOOST
Would you be willing to do a fic with Joost and his stylist dating?
EEEK!! YEAH I LOVE HIM
Here you go my dearest anon
Description: Joost and his stylist/girlfriend have a calm night, with him falling even deeper in love with her.
You never in a million years thought you'd be here. Sitting next to Joost Klein as you sketched his next outfit for the tour.
You were not only is girlfriend but his stylist aswell. It was your job for the man to be on theme but also look good.
He was having a 2000s meets corporate look right now, and she thought he looked very handsome. She let him know it often.
"I think the tie should be fat" Joost said pointing at the blue and yellow striped tie on the models shirt.
"Or should I open up your shirt and show off some skin?" She said tapping the end of the pen on the edge of her tablet.
"Ooo scandalous" he said kissing your cheek "I hope nobody falls in love with me and steals me away from you" He jokes
"If that happened I'd be proud to be your designer and heartbroken as your girlfriend" Y/n responded not looking up from the tablet.
Looking over to the woman he grew to love he couldn't help but feel proud. She was incredibly talented and directed all her artistic skills on him. She was the one to suggest the blue suit for Eurovision and was there to hold him when he was disqualified.
Snapping back to reality Joost chuckled, discarding his headphones he stood up, several pops coming from his back as he twisted. Looking down at his girlfriend he felt a warmth surge through him.
"Should we get dinner?" He asked remembering the time it was. The sky had a soft Indigo hue as it shifted from day to night. It was common for the couple to not eat supper until seven.
"Yeah I guess" she saved the design before switching off the tablet "I'd be down to go out. I want to get some fresh air" she suggested to a nodding man.
As the two ventured off they both silently agreed to go to the Vietnamese place around the corner. It was their go to on late nights like today.
The jingling bell alerted the servers of their arrival as they sat down and ordered. Getting their usuals they rolled into small talk. Joost bringing up some Tik Tok ideas and what he wanted to wear in them.
It was easy talking to Joost, he was charismatic without trying.
"There's one that I really need to be exactly how I envision it oke?" He says with serious eyes. You give him an earnest nod as he explains "It needs to be like one of those I ♡ NY shirts, but instead it say I ♡ Unity. Think you can pull it off?"
As you two share a look you burst out laughing, receiving your food.
"I will need to make some calls, but I think we can make it happen" as the conversation carries on, the warm feeling in Joosts body didn't fade it got stronger.
Once the food was eaten and the bill paid the two walked back their shared flat.
"I love you" Joost said as you walked, the cool night painting a picture behind you. Joost turned to fully face you.
"I love you too" she said as she took his hands in hers, "You're all I want" he gave her a genuine grin leaned down for a kiss, meeting her halfway the two stood there for a moment, the world nothing to them.
No worries, no issues, and best of all no interruptions.
An Arthur request please. You work at a zoo and Arthur fancies you. He does everything to win your heart. - 🐤
I HAD SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES COOKIN
Description: Arthur has a crush on the lizard specialist at his local zoo. He's a bit obvious about it.
Arthur had spent too many Sundays at the zoo. It had come to the point he was on a first name basis with the staff. He would dilly dally around the lions and zebras before beelining to his favourite exhibition.
Everyone knew why he was there. It was no secret, Arthur Frederick was in love with Y/n L/n. He thought he was so slick. The only thing that didn't know about his feelings?
The lizards.
"And that's why the bearded dragon is called a dragon!" Y/n explained to the crowd of kids, all letting out amazed gasps. Off to the side stood Arthur, with a similarly big smile.
He's heard every one of her lectures and knew them all by heart. His personal favourite was on the bearded dragons. They all were named after members of the Scooby Doo Gang.
Once Y/n put the Lizard named Daphne back in her cage the kids all dispersed leaving her with the grinning man.
"Wow, you knocked that out of the park" he exclaims "I mean, this is definitely top 10 times you've done that presentation" he jokes, her laughing with him
"Yeah? I'm glad you think so, you're basically my number one fan at this point" she teases. Not only had she picked up on the fact that Arthur had a crush on her, she felt the same way about him.
"I'm starting a Y/n fan club as we speak" he leans back, against the wall. Him wearing a cheeky smile.
"I'll make sure to let my mom know to subscribe" she says rolling her eyes "Where are you supposed to be right now?"
"What do you mean? I don't have anything going on" he says confused. Having control on his schedule made spending time with Y/n easy.
"What about later? Have Any plans then?" She asked, as she leaned against the same wall next to him. The two facing the reptile hall, as happy children wander about.
"Nope, I almost never film on Sundays, they're my relax day" he explains. "Again, why?"
The cogs in his brain turning as he tried to figure out what she was getting at. He was so clueless to the small looks she was giving him or how her body was slightly shaking.
"Well, I was wondering what time you are going to pick me up" she says pushing off the wall "maybe 6?" She suggests, finally looking over to the man.
Arthur stood with his jaw dropped and cheeks red. You couldn't help but giggle at the sight.
"Uh-" he gulps "Yeah! Six o'clock. Could I have your number?" She nods, slipping him her phone number written on a dinosaur shaped post it note. Giving him a wave she headed to the main office where she was greeted by four coworkers.
"Y/N!" They all exclaimed loudly, nearly knocking the woman off her feet. The five animal nerds all excited about her boldness in asking out the man.
"I can't believe I did it! I'm just glad I didn't do it with Lizard shit on my hands" she admitted, still buzzing from the news of date night.
