Jack Hodgins x female oc
It's his idea, obviously.
When you say yes, he would try to play it cool for about 30 seconds, then break into a huge grin and be super giddy.
"You do realize this is the best thing that's happened since I discovered that new species of carrion beetle, right?"
Will take you out to a fancy dinner just to celebrate.
He will leave cute little notes for you, just because.
He literally lives in a mansion so he will try to keep his specimens away from a wing of the home so they don't bother you.
He had custom shelving put in for your shoes and handbags for the closet.
He will move anything for you.
He knows you love flowers so he has your favorites planted in his back garden.
Always has flowers in the vase on your side of the bed.
He bought you all new skincare and body care products because you "deserve to be pampered."
"If you want to change anything around here, you are more than welcome to. This is your home too."
You want a space dedicated to your interests? He will clear a room for you without question.
"Since there isn't room in the study, I'm having a spare bedroom converted into a study for you because I know you love to read and probably just want a space of your own."
He is super thoughtful of what you would want and need.
Overall he's just happy he can spend even more time with you and want this to be a home where you are both happy and comfortable in.
Draco Malfoy is dating a Gryffindor
At first he would fight your connection so hard.
You’re a Gryffindor- bold, loud, righteous- he’s supposed to hate you, but he catches himself staring when you argue in class.
“Stop looking at me like that, Malfoy.” “Like what? Like you’re interesting?”
Eventually, he’d cave. Maybe after a heated argument that turns into a passionate first kiss in a corridor.
He’s not openly mushy, but Merlin help anyone who messes with you.
It’s giving, “God help anyone who disrespects the queen” vibes.
He’s all sharp words and intimidating stares behind your back.
Draco doesn’t want anyone to know he’s soft for you, but behind closed doors? Clingy!
Loves cuddles and praise.
“You’re sweeter than you pretend to be, Malfoy.”
Your relationship would thrive on witty comebacks and playful roasting.
Constantly challenging each other, but with a flirty edge.
“You’re insufferable.” “And yet, here you are, holding my hand in our spot, laying on me like I’m your favorite pillow.”
House rivalry is everything!
Gryffindor wins the Quidditch match and you tease him mercilessly.
He pretends to be mad all day, but then “You had your fun but if Slytherin wins the next match, you’re wearing green for a week. Deal?”
He is literally a mix of an angel and a victorian gentleman
He is deeply compassionate.
You have a rough day, “Tell me everything, my love.”
He LISTENS! It’s rare for a man to just shut up and listen and he does it.
If he senses something is off with you, it doesn’t matter if he’s doing something important, he will drop everything to make sure you are okay and talk things out.
He is so respectful.
Keep in mind he’s from a different era, so expect old school romance.
Holding doors.
Handwritten love letters in beautiful writing.
He’s very patient and gentle in everything he does.
Protector, but no overbearing and it’s not the major point of the relationship.
One thing you love about him is how smart he is and that he’s an amazing conversationalist.
This man has been alive for centuries. He speaks multiple languages, history buff, art lover, you can have deep conversations with him and he always has something to say.
Unlike some other Cullens (👀), Carlisle is emotionally stable.
He doesn’t ghost you, play games, or act jealous. All that is a waste of time to him.
Carlisle is able to admit he doesn’t have all the answers and needs help.
“I’m still learning to love you the way you need. Please help me understand. Please.”
He’s loyal and consistent. Everyone else is chaos, he’s the calm in the storm.
He is overall a great partner and easy to be with, you don’t have to try with him and I think that is so simplistically beautiful in a relationship.
Acts of Service
He’s not good at saying what he’s feeling but he will show you with the little things.
He randomly fixes things around your house because he saw it was broken.
“It was bothering you, wasn’t it?”
He would get a head start on your morning routine for you, fixing her coffee, getting coat, and bag together.
“Here, I didn’t want you running all around in the morning.”
Does the chores that you forgot about the day before and doesn’t even mention it.
When he’s not on missions, he will always cook you breakfast, no matter what.
It doesn’t matter that he had no sleep from a mission he got back on, he will be in that kitchen flipping pancakes, scrambling eggs, making coffee, or whatever he makes.
He always makes sure your flower vase is full, always replacing them before they die.
If you fall asleep somewhere, he will pick you up and tuck you into bed.
When he goes on morning runs, he takes your dog with him.
He takes responsibility for taking care of your dog.
He's a gentleman to you.
He opens your doors, holds your bags, walks on the outside of the sidewalk.
PDA - Jack Hodgins
This man has no shame whatsoever.
He will give as many hugs and kisses you will allow him to.
Cam always jokes that she needs a spray bottle to spray you two.
Every once in a while, you will be caught making out in a dark corner somewhere.
At restaurants, he will not let you sit across from him, he has to sit right next to you.
When sitting next to you, he is always touching you. Hand holding, hand on the thigh, arm over the shoulders, etc.
Whenever you walk, your holding hands.
Will stand so close to you while you work that if he wanted to kiss your neck, all he would have to do is lean down a couple inches. (He does it more often than not)
He whispers in your ear a lot just to be close to you.
When you're at home, he will always cuddle with you.
Sleeping in bed, he's either spooning you or he's plopped on top of you.
Booth has a younger sister that is a surgical resident and introduces her to his team, finally, but it takes a turn he wasn't expecting and he hates it. Jack Hodgins x OC/Natalie Booth, surgical intern
Booth wasn't sure why he agreed to this. It was a bad idea. a very bad idea. but here he was, standing in the Jeffersonian lab, introducing his little sister to the team.
Booth’s younger sister, Dr. Natalie Booth, had recently secured an internship at Georgetown Memorial Hospital. Bright, sharp, and he hated to admit it but charmingly confident, Natalie had always had a knack for making an impression and right now she's doing just that.
“I've heard so much about all of you”, Natalie said, her smile lighting up the room. Bones of course is a legend and Angela, your artistry is incredible and you must be Dr. Hodgins. she turns her attention to Jack Hodgins, her smile shifting is something a little bit more mischievous.
“Yeah that's me, Hodgins said, his usual confidence faltering as he shook her hand. “Call me Jack.”
Natalie tilted her head. “Jack, huh? Well it's a pleasure to meet you. She let her gaze linger just a little longer than necessary. and Booth’s stomach dropped. This was not happening.
Hodgins cleared his throat, clearly flustered. “The pleasure is all mine”, he said, his voice a little bit higher than usual.
Booth steps in, firmly placing a hand on Hodgins’ shoulder and steering him aside. “Okay, let's focus, people. Natalie's just here to say hi, not to distract anyone.”
“I'm not distracting anyone”, Natalie said innocently, though the playful glint in her eyes said otherwise. “Jack, do you always let my brother boss you around like this?”
Hodgin’s grinned, “Not usually but, he's kind of scary when he's protective.”
“Oh, trust me”, Natalie said, stepping closer to Hodgins despite Booth’s glare. He's been like this since we were kids. Remember when you scared of my prom date, Seeley?
“The guy deserved it”, Booth snapped, folding his arms. “He had a tattoo on his neck.”
Natalie laughed. “It was a barbed wire tattoo. Very trendy at the time. Anyway, Jack, what’s it like working here? Do you enjoy it?
“Yeah”, Hodgins said, smiling back at her. “I get to play with bugs and dirt all day. It's a dream job.”
“Bugs, huh?" Natalie asked, raising a brow. “Sounds ... intriguing.”
Booth stepped between them, arms wide like he was breaking up a fight. “Okay, enough. Natalie, don’t you have surgery to prepare for? Hodgins don't you have some slime or whatever to analyze?”
Angela snorted in the background, leaning towards Brennan. “This is going to be fun.”
Natalie peeked around Booth's broad frame to catch Hodgins' eye. “Guess I'll see you around, Jack.”
“Looking forward to it”, Hodgins said, his grin widening.
Booth groaned, running hand through his hair. He knew Natalie loved teasing him, but this? Flirting with Hodgins? This was a new level of torture.
As Natalie turned to leave, Booth followed her out of the lab. “Seriously, Nat, what was that?”
“What? “she said, feigning innocence. “He's cute.”
“He's Hodgins”, Booth hissed. “Stay away from him.”
“Oh, relax”, she said with a wink. “You should be happy I’m making friends.”
“Friends, my ass”, Booth muttered under his breath. He could already tell this wasn't the last he heard about Natalie and Hodgins.
Back in the lab, Hodgin’s was still staring at the door, goofy grin on his face.
“Jack,” Angela said, smirking. “You’ve got it bad.”
“Yeah,” Hodgins admitted, barely registering her comment. “I think so.”
How many times a day does someone ask you “how are you” or ”how are you doing” in a day?
And how many times do you say “I’m fine. Thanks. How are you?”
People don’t want a real answer when they ask you. It’s just a greeting, no one wants to know. And how many people would actually care if you gave them a real answer?
I’m not fine. I just say I’m fine because I don’t really want to say “I’m not gonna kill myself but I’m not okay.” So I just put on a fake smile, nod my head, and say what the socially acceptable script says to say.
I can’t think of a time when I was genuinely fine or okay. I just...exist.
Then one day, I just felt like I was drowning.
This all came from me realizing I’m a person I don’t like. That I never liked. I always said I would change. Said I wanted to change. I can’t even count how many times I said “today is the day”, the day has never come. I always never truly me. I was always what people wanted me to be. Always the girl who played it safe, never got out of my comfort zone. I never spoke up.
I fantasized about what it would be like to be anyone but me. Maybe because I never met me. Whenever I have let me shine through just a bit, it seems people don’t like her. Make jokes about her. Even my family. It's just a continuous hell loop in my head.
I think people just want others to be like the “average” person. People say it’s okay to be different, they tell you that everyone is free to do what they want, but the second someone turns their back, that’s a different story. “She clearly gained weight”, “her skirt is too short, the bitch is asking for something to happen”, “what was she thinking about when she got her hair done”, “eww, does she even know how to do her eyebrows?”
Why is it like this?
Why is it when someone finally shows that they do something completely normal, people are shocked just because it was done in public. They act like they don’t do the same things behind closed doors.
I’m just tired of not being the me I always wanted to be. I’m going to try now. I’m going to seriously try to be me and not what people want me to be or expect me to be.
She is now my past. I made the decision that she is dead. It doesn’t mean I’m not going to miss her in one way or another but I now know I don’t feel like I’m being drowned or can’t breathe.
I’m scared but relieved.
I finally feel as free.
I’ve always hated myself. For as long as I can remember. My memories go back to 4 years old and at that age, I remember hating myself. I thought other people did too. I always thought that the people who said “I love you” were saying it, just to say it or saying it out of habit, it never felt real to me. I felt as if no one cared or wanted to care about me. No one wants me. No one loves me. I hate myself. I’m ugly. I’m fat. My scars are gross. I’m too tall. I’m not skinny. I’m weird. I’m below average in everything. I’m dumb. These are all things I’ve said or thought about myself and this is just a short list. I never felt as though I belonged anywhere or with anyone.
I want to change that.
I’ve always wanted to change myself but it never worked.
I always wanted to be that person with good friends and family that made me feel safe and loved. I always wanted to feel “beautiful”. I always wanted someone to love me.
I always wanted to love myself.
I guess that’s what I really want, to love myself. I just don’t know how to do it. I’ve tried and I’ve always failed. How do you love yourself? Maybe it is a skill you learn as you grow up. Maybe it’s just something people just want to forget is living in their brain.
I want to love myself now. And everyday from now on I will try. And I guess I will keep starting over and over again for as long as it takes because I am worth it.
I am worthy.
I am worthy of love and affection. I am everything everyone has said about me and more. I am worthy of love. I am worthy of positivity. I am beautiful. I am smart. I am wanted. I am needed.
I will love myself one day at a time.
He is super respectful of the belief system you go with.
He’s a curious boy and asks questions, and asks how he can be respectful of everything.
He collects little rocks for you on his morning runs.
Ask if he can put little knick knacks on any of the altars.
Saves any jars he uses. He even purposely buys the grocery stores that come in glass containers so he can wash them out and use them when he’s done.
He loves and consents to any magic you want to do on him.
He tries to remember what all your sigils mean.
“Honey, what does this symbol mean again?”
Her whole place smells like Florida Water.
She enchants his dog tags for protection.
He notices that she mutters things when she is making food or stirring his drink.
He cannot drink coffee unless she makes it, she enchants his coffee and it never tastes better and it gives him more energy.
Since he’s awake before the sun rises for his runs, he brings in her moon water before it gets ruined by the sun.
“Did you buy another herb plant?”
"Why is there is salt in the doorway?"
At the end of the day he doesn't mind what you do and he will even encourage you in your craft.
Acts of Service
Elijah would handle problems before you even knew they existed.
If you much mention that someone is bothering you, he's arranging a “peaceful” resolution.
He will make time for you no matter what.
Even in the middle of the chaos that is his family and the people that mess with them, he would still make time to check in with you.
“You’ve been on my mind. Are you alright?”
He doesn’t just listen, he follows through. You're telling him how stressed you are? He’s already drawing you a hot bath.
He’s extremely observant. You admire a necklace in a store window? It will show up on your dresser in a little velvet box, placed perfectly.
You say your coat is old? There will be a custom wool coat in your size, tailored just for you.
He’s not flashy, he’s intentional.
If anything threatens your happiness, he’s already working behind the scenes.
You will never know the full extent of what he’s doing because he doesn’t need credit, the only thing he needs is for you to be happy and safe.
He will try his hardest to make your life easier.
If you’re having a bad week, he doesn’t smother you. He handles things.
Groceries just “appear” in your kitchen.
Your car is expertly cleaned and the tank full.
That moisturizer you don’t have time to replace, already done.
He does all this to say in his own way, “You will never have to carry the weight alone again.”
He would be your armor and sanctuary all in one.
Bucky Barnes leaves for war from her perspective.
I still remember the way the air felt that night.
Heavy, like it knew. Like the sky itself was holding its breath.
You didn’t say it, not really. You didn’t need to. I knew you were leaving. I knew this was the last night. And I knew the second I saw you in that uniform, stiff, and crisp, and not you, that everything was about to change.
You tried to act like it was fine. Like we had time. You smiled that crooked smile, the one that always made me forget how to breathe. And I laughed. I laughed at your dumb jokes, because if I didn’t, I’d cry. And I wanted- God, I wanted to be strong for you.
We sat in our booth, like always. The waitress called you “soldier,” and you smiled at her, but I saw the flicker in your eyes, you were scared. I was too.
When we left, you walked me home even though it was out of your way. You always did that. I think you liked pretending we lived in the same world, like you could stay in it just a little longer.
We stood outside my building for a long time, neither of us saying anything. The city faded around us - cars, people, lights - they'll just.. disappeared. It's just you and me.
And then you kissed me.
Slow. Careful. Like you were memorizing me.
Like if you kissed me soft enough, maybe the war would forget your name.
That was the last kiss.
I didn't know what to say when you pulled away. I didn't want to cry, so I just nodded. I wanted to say "I love you,” but I didn't. I was afraid that if I did, you wouldn't leave - and part of me was selfish enough to want that. But the rest of me knew... you’d never forgive yourself if you didn’t go.
So I let you walk away.
You didn’t look back.
But I did.
I watched you turn the corner, and I whispered it then, “I love you.” Quiet. Just for me. Maybe the wind carried it to you. Maybe not.
You came back eventually after so many decades, but I’m no longer here.
After so many years, I would lay awake sometimes thinking about that night. About that night. About that kiss. About the boy who held my hand like it was a lifeline and kissed me like he was already gone.
I never kissed anyone the same after that.
But with me now gone, I wish you could with someone new.
Enjoy my writings! Wanna buy my a coffee as a token of appreciation? cashapp: $queenisabelle13
