Alright, I just wanna say how much I love the McQuaid episode of 21 Jumpstreet:
Like, it's insane to me that they tackle SA by family members in a show that came out in the late 80s and do it in a manner that I believe is respectable.
And another thing I love how Tom cares for Diane even though he doesn't know her that well. The only thing he knows is that she struggles at home and he immediately goes into "care taker" mode and I just think that's great.
Also, the scene at the hospital where she spills her heart out to him, tells him to stay and he does and even when she breaks down he just comforts her.
AND even after Diane is released he goes ahead and makes sure she's okay even tho he isn't allowed to.
Sorry for this rambling I just love this episode so much and it's so well written imo.

It had been a long day for the Justice League. They had been fighting off an alien invasion since the sun broke through the night.
The aliens were of no big threat, weak as they were, but the sheer amount of them threatened to drown Gotham.
It was an interesting choice to start an invasion as it surely wasn’t the most appealing of humanities cities. Gotham is dark and cold to outsiders, keeping only her children warm and close.
The JL were sure the Dark Knight wouldn’t have even let them in to her to help if it wasn’t for the number of the enemies. As the sole protector of Gotham even he had to accept their help.
At least that was what the JL thought. They knew next to nothing about the Bat. How Superman had convinced the lone Bat to join was a mystery for all but Wonder Woman. They were the only two who seemed to know a bit more about the dark knight, though they never admitted to it when asked.
They were just about done fending off the invaders as, in a last desperate or maybe plain petty move, the leader of the aliens let go one last spell as he fled onto his ship and closed the portal behind himself. The spell manifested in a blue lightning that felt ice cold as it rushed past Barry and made next to no sound as it hit.
As it hit the person next to him.
The person next to him had been Batman.
Barry turned around as quick as he could, which was very, he’s the flash after all, just to see the dust settle and where once the dark knight stood now only a ball of black fur sat.
It took Barry’s brain long enough to compute what had happened that Hal had figured it out before him.
“Did- Did spooky get turned into a cat ?”, Hal’s voice trembled. As he carefully approached the bundle of darker-than-the-night fur.
Said bundle swiped his claws at the green hero, leaving a deep gash in the approaching hand. The wail that followed cut through the air and called over the other JL members. All of them were ready to fight which brought out a chuckle from Barry. Wonder Woman shot him a glare and Superman looked confused as he saw the, frankly, enormous black cat in between his teammates.
“Batman clawed me!” Hal squawked. He pointed at the cat in an accusatory manner and then stretched his bleeding hand towards the other members.
“Batman?” The man of steel asked, he tilted his head in confusion as he studied the wound and then the cat.
It was sat there with an air of self satisfaction while eyeing Hal. He raised a paw, clearly showing of his claws that glinted in the rare Gotham moonlight, he tenderly started cleaning the paw. Sending very familiar glares towards his victim.
As the cat then lowered his paw the team could finally spot the grey bat shape that cut through the deep black fur on the feline’s chest.
It was then that it clicked for everyone. Batman had indeed been turned into a cat.
He was certainly larger than any cat Barry had ever seen before, reminiscent of his large stature as a human. Even in cat form and hidden by the long dark fur this cat was muscular enough to make Barry self conscious. And even in cat form Batman kept his incredible jawline.
Barry felt weird feeling inferior to a cat. A shiver went through his body as the Cat settled his startling blue eyes on him. The Batglare™ translated way too well into the dark knights feline body. Barry was glad that the cat went and glared at each member separately, certainly expecting one of them to do something. Not wanting to make the man angry, Barry decided to be the one to do something, so he opened his mouth,
“So what do we do now ?”, Even he was disappointed in himself so he tried again, “Does he remember being Batman,” he went and tried to meet the cats eyes as he asked, “Do you remember being Batman ?”
The dark knight nodded and Barry could swear he looked glad that things were finally moving along.
“That is a good start.” Wonder Woman cut in, finally the rest of the league started to recover from the initial shock of their most stoic and scary member turning into the scariest cat to ever walk the earth.
“We should contact Zatanna, she should know how to reverse this.” Aquaman suggested and then added a quiet, “I hope.” He stepped away to the other side of the rooftop they were on to do just that after receiving another of the fluffy knights glares.
The rest of the team just stood around not knowing what to do. Hal nursed his now healing hand while Green Arrow kept making fun of him.
“If you think it’s so funny why don’t you try and pet him ! He’s vicious ! And he hates me !”
“I’m not that stupid. I know he’ll claw my eyes out.
“Pussy.”
That single word is all it took for Green Arrow to give petting the cat turned vigilante a try. While he grumbled, “I’m not a pussy!”
Barry who had decided to simply sit on the roofs ledge next to the black feline together with Wally, he saw the other green idiot of their team approaching and started to shake his head while sending silent warning towards him. But a stupid man’s pride is hard to fight as he watched his teammate reach out his hand. His body leaning as far away as possible.
Before he even touched Batman’s fur the silence of Gotham was teared through by an impressive screech. A big, bleeding gash was now present on Green Arrows hand and he stumbled backwards as he clenched his hand in pain. Certainly annoyed with the green men Batman stood up and moved for the first time. He moved with the mesmerizing grace of a cat and you could see the impressive muscles dance as he hurried across the roof and became one with the shadows even as a cat.
“I’ll follow him!”, Wally called out before Barry could stop him. The JL watched their youngest member sprint after the cat. They stayed behind as they didn't want to anger the bat by all moving through Gotham's streets without him allowing it.
‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆. ✧˚₊‧⋆‧
Wally really did his best to keep up with the dark knight but the man was now small, way quicker and this was Wally’s first time in Gotham. It took everything he had to keep track of Batman as he traversed his home terrain as if he had always been a cat.
After chasing the black shadow for at least 10 minutes (?), Wally was bad with time, he came to an abrupt halt as he watched the black cat climb the roof, he followed of course.
On the roof stood a sleek figure that Wally didn’t recognize. The person turned around revealing a blue bird logo stretching over his full chest and down his arms. His face was only covered by a simple blue domino mask, with white lenses that reminded Wally of Batman’s cowl. The man’s hair was black and framed his face beautifully. Wally’s gaze kept nervously jumping between the skin tight suit and the face of the stranger.
Wally was ripped out of his mesmerized state as the man spoke with an accent he couldn’t place, “Flash, what are you still doing in Gotham ? I thought the aliens already left ?” It was said in a friendly tone and the man was smiling but Wally could feel the danger behind the words. It was a subtle way to warm him to get out of Gotham. It send a shiver down Wally’s spine, it was unfair that the guy was this attractive while threatening him.
“I-“ before he could give his explanation, Batman stepped out of the shadows in his full feline glory, meowing one single, impressively deep meow at the man.
The vigilante, Wally guessed at least, looked at the cat for just a second before breaking out in a loud, gorgeous laugh that earned him the Batglare™. But to Wally’s shock the young man didn’t react at all to the silent threat. No, he even moved forward and scooped Batman into his arms before Wally could give him a warning.
But the young vigilante stayed unharmed. Batman simply started purring as the man scratched him behind his ears. Batman was purring. 'Holy shit!'
“This is definitely a first for you B.'' He let out a giggle as a wide grin settled onto his face. ''I know of some people who would absolutely love to see this!” The young man started to move to jump of the roof but was stopped by Wally who had moved forward and grabbed him by the arm with a, “Please wait!”
Batman glared at him and Wally wanted to run away but steeled his heart as he quickly released his hold on the black and blue vigilante. “Can I ask who you are ? Where are you taking him ?” Wally asked sheepishly. He could feel himself blush as the other vigilante gave him a genuinely amused smile. God he was way too beautiful, so unfair !
The young man looked to the cat in his arms, he put on a fake and exaggerated offended look and called out, “You haven’t told them about me ?” The guy looked at Wally and as their eyes met, a seductive glint in the man's eyes, he added, “You kept this pretty thing from me B ? How mean of you.”
Wally was barely able to keep his jaw from dropping to the floor. He felt his whole system overheat as the man gave him a playfully flirty smile. “Name is Nightwing, it’s very nice to meet you.”
Welp, Wally’s brain was officially mush.
Before the flirting could go further Batman gently tapped Nightwing's face to get his attention back. Nightwing gave the cat a look and then gently tugged at Wally’s hand.
“Follow me.” He said while turning back towards the roof’s ledge. Batman flicked his tail to voice his discontent but was skillfully ignored by the other Gotham vigilante.
They moved through Gotham quickly but not as quick as they probably could considering Nightwing was carrying an enormous black cat. That didn’t stop him from showing off a trick here or there though while smiling at Wally in that brain melting way.
They stopped after a while on top of a tall building next to the even taller Wayne Enterprises Tower.
Nightwing tapped his comm and it clicked to life.
“Hey Red, is the baby Bat still with you ?”
“That’s great, I’ll be coming up with a new friend.” The grin that placated itself on the vigilantes face made Wally nervous, a grin like that never meant anything good but as it was directed at somebody that wasn’t Wally he actually got excited to see what had Nightwing smiling like that.
To Wally’s surprise the WE Tower had a secret elevator that was activated with a system that reminded him a lot of the Zeta Tubes.
He was interrupted in his marveling by Nightwing, who pulled Wally into the elevator with an unfair smoothness and Wally could feel his heart explode and his face heat up as he was now way too close to the black and blue clad vigilante. Nightwing, all though smaller than Wally, was leaning forward, propping himself up with his arm that he had promptly placed next to Wally's head, pressing Wally against the Wall. It took everything out off Wally to not faint as Nightwing leaned a bit closer and whispered into his ear, “Hey cutie~”
Wally could feel Nightwing's warm breath on the little skin his suit showed and his gaze settled on the soft lips of the flirty vigilante before him. His eyes then traveled down the man's body, clearly eyeing the captivating anatomy that was wrapped tightly by the black fabric, until he saw that Nightwing was standing on his toes to make himself tall enough for the move he had pulled. Wally could barely contain a snort as he regained his brain functions and swiftly reversed their positions. He was now properly towering over the other man. Wall slamming him in sweet revenge. A satisfied grin on his face as he saw the other blush ever so slightly. ''If anything you're the cutie here.'', He said only to suddenly feel a shudder running down his back. He turned his head and spotted the Batcat starring at him as if he had murdered the man's entire family.
Nightwing also noticed the disturber and huffed out in annoyance accompanied by an eye roll that translated despite the domino mask. He gently pushed past Wally to prevent any actual murder. Wally suddenly righted himself, when he felt Nightwing playfully squeeze his ass as he moved past. They were now standing either side of Batman which seemed to please the dark knight.
They rode up the elevator while Wally and Nightwing shared a few glances that Batman certainly wasn't happy about. As the doors finally opened again they revealed a more than tired looking teenager, a domino mask slapped on haphazardly. The elevator ride had been much shorter than it actually felt to Wally he now realized.
The smell of coffee hit Wally hard as the teen vigilante opened his mouth to say something only to stop as he noticed the Cat turned dark knight.
It took a moment before he was keeled over laughing, hard. Wally was absolutely startled by the blatant disrespect the Gotham vigilantes showed Batman. He wondered about their relationship to the man.
''Red, what are you laughing about ?'', A young voice came from an opened door a bit down the hall. The coldness of it reminded Wally of the Big Bat and it deeply unsettled him. He wondered if that was what the man had sounded like as a child before he went on to wonder if the bat ever was a child. He just couldn't picture it.
''Baby Bat !'', Nightwing called out and brought Wally back to reality. He watched as the black and blue vigilante rushed down the hall and scooped a child up into his arms and then started to turn and swing the child around above his head. Wally was embarrassed to admit that his gaze lingered way too long on the man's cake factory.
A-hem Ahem
''Would you please step out of the elevator now ? And maybe stop ogling.''
Wally turned a new shade of red, redder even than his hair as he begrudgingly did follow that advice, and stepped out of the elevator. He only now noticed that Batman had moved to sit next to the teen vigilante and Wally could swear the cat gave the teen a very disapproving glare.
''I did sleep. Do not look at me like that B.'' The teen said leveling Batman with a unsettlingly similar glare. It was impressive how they seemed to have a full conversation with only their eyes, despite the domino mask. It ended as Nightwing approached, the child, the 'Baby Bat', on his hip. The kid did not look happy to be carried, his arms crossed and a scowl clear as day even through the black domino mask he too was wearing. It wasn't crooked like the teen's though Wally silently noted.
Now that Wally observed the three people in front of him he had to wonder if they might be brothers. They all had black hair, though at different lengths. The only difference were their skin colors, half brothers maybe ? The way they acted though made it clear to Wally that they were at least brothers at heart, if not by blood.
Wally was yet again called back to reality as he heard Nightwing's gorgeous laugh, while he had been lost in his thoughts the child had noticed Batman. He looked incredibly troubled and caught between wanting to pet the cat and knowing who that cat really was. Wally couldn't help letting out a chuckle while watching the boy twitch with indecisiveness. He froze as a batarang suddenly embedded itself in the wall behind Wally next to his head. He would've been hit if not for the speed force. He choked on his own air as he met the child's glare.
''Robin could you please not kill Flash ?'' Nightwing asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
''It did not hit him, he is fine. He laughed at father, so he should be prepared for death.'' The child vigilante snarled back.
Wally could swear he saw a hint of fondness behind Batman's glare this time. He could also hear the teen mutter a 'God damn demon brat', followed by a louder, ''Good going at revealing that tidbit of info idiot.''
'Father', it kept replaying in Wally's head. Batman has children. Plural.
The guy he had been crushing on and who had been flirting with him is probably Batman's son. 'I Wall slammed Batman's son... In front of Batman.'
Wally's whole body vibrated with nervousness and he could swear that he was about to phase through the floor. To his luck Nightwing tapped his shoulder and saved him from that. ''You okay there handsome ?''
''Ew. Get a room.'', The teen called while the mini Batman simply scowled at Wally, way to similar to Batman. Wally's whole body shook at that. He watched Nightwing stick his tongue out at the two in retaliation.
It was then that Wally decided to change the topic before he was killed, ''What is your name by the way ?'', he asked the teen. Said teen looked at Batman and then at Nightwing, again they talked without a single word, though Wally could swear he could hear a quiet chirping sound this time.
''My name is Red Robin.'', the teen turned towards Wally offering him a hand to shake. Wally not daring to offend a Bat, shook the hand and added a, ''Pleasure to meet you.'' Though it took everything in him not to blurt out a 'like the restaurant?'.
''Hope meeting me was more of a pleasure.'' Nightwing inquired, boldly plopping his head on Wally's shoulder while hugging the taller man from behind. Wrapping his hands around his hips. Wally froze in shook before relaxing into the touch. '' 'course it was.'' He smiled while cupping Nightwing's face with one hand and giving him a flirty smile. Both of them were blushing, though it was barely visible in Nightwing's case while plainly obvious in Wally's.
Meow
A deep growled meow came from Batman and Nightwing separated from Wally with an eye roll. The Dark knight stood up, tail swishing angrily as he moved to sit in front of the elevator doors.
''I guess we probably should, huh ?'' Nightwing said. ''You driving us Red?''
The teen rolled his eyes and didn't answer, he did move towards the elevator though, so Wally guessed that he would drive them, where ever they were going. Wally was visibly nervous but he went along as Nightwing took his hand and gently tugged him towards the now open elevator. The whole group entered and Wally suppressed a chuckle as he saw that Batman had allowed Robin to pick him up. The cat half the child's size. It was a sight to behold.
The drive was awkward as the three brothers chatted about their patrol and Wally couldn't join in. Though he was flabbergasted as he learned that Nightwing had actually been fighting the aliens with the JL, he had been taking care of all the stragglers the JL missed. While not one of them had noticed the helper in the shadows. Wally then was promptly pulled into telling the other passengers embarrassing stories about the Justice League. He was hopeful but the speedster was not treated to any embarrassing anecdotes about the big Bat. Could that guy even do something embarrassing ?
The drive was over fairly quickly. Wally marveled as the water parted and they drove through the waterfall into a deep dark cave. The Batcave actually existed ! Wally was speechless as his eyes darted all over the place. His eyes immediately zeroing in on the Bat-Mobile as they got out of Red Robins fittingly Red, definitely custom, WE sports car. He wasn't allowed enough time to even glance at the other many vehicles parked at the garage entrance as the Bat-Brothers hurried up some stairs leading up into the rest of the cave. They were clearly used to this place.
Wally was caught in a perpetual state of awe as he spotted the workshop, the many bat and not bat themed weapons and other items. He was especially mesmerized by the different suits in glass cases along the wall. He noticed that most were empty sans a bright yellow suit. Wally quietly counted the empty cases. 1... 3... 6... 9 ! He counted nine empty cases. ''I work alone my ass'', Wally muttered and Red robin and Nightwing both chuckled at his words.
Wally was absolutely not prepared for the monstrosity that was the Bat-Computer or the giant T-Rex, giant Penny and giant Playing card for that matter. He looked at Nightwing for answers, a desperate and pleading look on his face. He got a laugh in answer but also a very welcome vigilante leaning onto him to steady himself in his laughing fit.
Red Robin smoothly jumped onto the chair in front of the Bat-Computer and twirled the chair around as he got in position. Again Wally noticed that he seemed very used to this. Quick, hurried keyboard typing then a voice asked in a deep drawl, ''Yo, replacement what ya calling fo' ?'' Wally could hear flesh hitting flesh in the background and the sound of pained groans. It quieted down after the sound of a breaking bone ringed through the comm.
''I need you to herd some lost sheep to the Batcave.''
''Lost sheep ? Care to elaborate Red?'' The man on the other end of the line sounded confused. Wally felt bad for him as he saw a mischievous grin spread on the teen's face.
''I think that's enough info, it's simple really. I'll send you the coordinates.'' Red hid his grin expertly. His hands flew over the keyboard masterfully while he spoke.
It was quiet for a few minutes. Then seething voice rung through the comm, ''Why the FUCK, is the JL here ? DON'T tell me those are the lost sheep replacement.''
Red didn't answer, Wally could see him fighting a laugh down. ''Replacement, I know you're laughing. You're so payin' for this.'' The man drawled then the comm clicked off.
While the three waited Wally watched Red Robin type more on the Bat Computer, it was almost too fast for even him to follow. Then his gaze wandered over to Robin who had walked back to Red's car and was now carrying what Wally guessed were their vigilante suits. He brought them to the cases and started putting them away. Then Wally glanced at Nightwing who had been standing right next to him. Their eyes met and Nightwing pulled him to sit down on a work bench.
Wally then realized that he hadn't seen Batman since they left the car. He started to look around and search for the Cat turned man when he found him sitting next to the keyboard, observing Red working. He met Wally's eyes and Wally quickly averted his gaze again, settling them on the much more pleasant view of Nightwing's gorgeous face. Said face was scrunched up in worry. Wally didn't quite know what to do so he simply placed his hand on Nightwing's hand in a hopefully reassuring manner.
It was then that the sound of a speeding motorcycle cut through the silence. Shortly followed by a fridge of a man sprinting into the room. His face hidden fully by a red helmet, Wally could feel the anger seep off of him. Wally half shocked on his breath 'That's the fucking Red Hood'. Hood promptly tackled Red Robin who had gotten up and moved away from the expensive technology, probably expecting it.
Seconds later the whole of the Justice League rushed into the cave as well. Wally watched Superman almost crash from shock as it dawned on the team where they had been led.
''Welcome to the Batcave.'', Nightwing chirped, he had moved to the railing looking down over the parking lot of the cave. His hands spread wide as he addressed the clearly stressed heroes.
With a red flash Barry stood next to Wally, looking him over. ''I'm okay uncle.'' He couldn't help the fond smile at the older man's worry. Nightwing Looked a little disappointed at being ignored. Though he quickly got what he had hoped for as Hal exclaimed louder than need be, ''HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL!''
A wide grin settled on Nightwing's face and he beamed with excitement as he eyed the hero. Wally watched with shock as Nightwing promptly climbed on top of the railing and launched himself up and forward. He rushed forward but he could only watch as Nightwing did some very impressive somersaults and landed with the grace of a thousand swans. The heroes were as flabbergasted as Wally, though he had quickly moved on to being captivated and leaning onto the railing. His head propped up in his hands as he swooned over the vigilante.
''Damn, you're like gone gone for Dickwing, huh ?'' Wally startled at the deep voice from behind him. He whirled around to see Red Hood look at him with a smugness that showed despite the face wear and the voice modulator.
''It has been quite disgusting to witness.'', Robin shimed in from the side. He had at some point left to change into more comfortable clothes. ''Truly.'', Red agreed from next to Hood.
Nightwing had in that time signaled the JL to follow him back up and they had hesitantly complied. Barry joined his team again once they reached the top.
''So Red, why the fuck did you have me lead the JL to the suppose-to-be-secret Batcave ?'' The question was promptly answered as Batman moved to sit in front of Red Hood. It took only a second before Hood fell to the floor loudly cackling at the Cat turned Bat. The JL, sans Wally, watched with baited breath. Red Hood a famed Gotham crime lord laughing in Batman's face. No way the bat won't break his No-Kill-Rule, right ?
But nothing happened except for the dark knight angrily whipping his tail from left to right. The JL were speechless. Even more so as they noticed that Red robin had taken out his phone and was filming the scene. Wally couldn't help but giggle at the whole sight. Nightwing joined him, leaning close to Wally and making his heart skip more than one beat.
It was then that the familiar sound of a zeta tube firing up could be heard. A computer voice announced 'A26 - Zatanna'.
Everyone watched as she strolled into the cave casually and with much confidence. She pushed past the the JL members blocking the way until she stood in front of Batman. She eyed him for a moment before a relieved look settled onto her face. ''It's easily reversible.'', an air of relief settled over the cave and a few people were able to finally breath out and relax their tense shoulders. ''Should I reverse it right now ?''
Superman opened his mouth but before he could make a sound Red Hood shot out an answer, ''Hell nah ! The others have to see this !''
''They should be here soo-'' Red Robin started but was interrupted by a teen sprinting down the stairs behind them and the rumbles of more motorcycles pulling into the cave.
The dark skinned teen, a domino mask placed even more crookedly than Red's on his face, was followed by an old posh looking butler. He too wore a black domino, holding onto his arm was a woman dressed in a comfy over-sized wool pullover and a pair of black leather pants, matching her leather cowl. The JL members recognized her instantly as Catwoman. Yet another rogue in the Batcave. Nervous and confused glances jumped from her to Red Hood and then to Batman, still a cat by the way.
Catwoman looked a little confused herself until she spotted the big black cat. She let go of the butler's arm and rushed over to scoop up the feline. She cooed excitedly until she spotted and saw the bat symbol on the cat's chest. It seemed to click then why the JL were present as she started to laugh loudly. She stretched out her arms to observe the fluffy knight in all his glory and then held him up to show the other presences that had joined the crowd without anyone noticing. Well nobody except for the Gotham natives of course. Three young girls were now cooing over the Batcat, who seemed to have just accepted his fate. With the ding of an elevator another girl joined, masked as all the other Gotham vigilantes were. She was sat in a wheelchair but she still moved without sound. Which Wally had only now realized all the Gotham natives in the room did. Another boy had at some point joined them, for once with brown instead of the black hair the other boys had.
Wally was very amused as he watched the group coo over Batman, passing him around while petting him. The JL completely frozen still and absolutely out of their element. For about twenty minutes it stayed that way until Batman voiced his desire to finally be human again with a single deep meow.
He was gently placed on the ground and Zatanna approached him. She spoke some words Wally could not understand and with a bright flash the Cat had been turned into the familiar tall, broody vigilante. The first thing he did is let his gaze wander over everyone in the room. Then a deep tired sigh escaped the man. It sounded very human, a rare thing for the always composed man. Wally noted for himself that it sounded like the sigh of a tired father.
''You have some explaining to do, huh old man.'', Hood chirped and earned himself the Batglare™.
''I guess I do.'' The Dark Knight conceded nonetheless. ''Justice League, meet my family.'' At that the Batfamily gathered to one spot and basically stood at attention, sans Catwoman and the Butler. Batman motioned for them to speak and so they did.
''Name is Nightwing, oldest brother, first Robin.'' He gave a playful salute and a wide excited grin. It made Wally's heart skip another beat.
''Name 's Red Hood, second oldest, second Robin, EX-Crime-lord.'' He shot the JL an angry glare as he emphasized the last part.
''Black Bat, actual second oldest'', the, especially next to Hood small, woman quietly said. She gave Hood a look that he met. Wally stifled a laugh, it seemed to be an ongoing argument between the two.
''My name 's Red Robin, fourth oldest, third Robin.'' He gave Barry, Oliver and Hal a very pointed glare. Wally face palmed as Hal muttered, ''Like the restaurant ?'', A batarang promptly left a cut on his cheek as it flew past him.
''Spoiler, not B's child, kinda was Robin for a bit.'' She slightly curtseyed with her cape, a wide sunshine like grin on her face.
''Bluebird, also not B's child, though he keeps trying.'', She laughs out loud and Spoiler high fives her.
''Bluebird's Brother, Oracle-in-training, not B's child.'' He gave a sheepish smile and also gave his sister and Spoiler a high five, although much more timidly.
''Oracle, also not a child of B.'', She swiped her red hair back over her shoulder dramatically and smiled smugly. She too was promptly High-fived.
''I'm Gotham's Day time hero, I go by The Signal.'', The teen gave the JL a very warm and friendly smile.
Robin was last, he donned a complacent smile, he puffed up proudly and then spoke, ''I am the current Robin and-''
He was cut off as the others of the Batfamily sing songed his words for him ''The blood son!'' He looked absolutely pissed and grumbled a few curses in a language that Wally did not understand. The rest of the group were thoroughly amused by his reaction.
Catwoman had moved to Batman's side and had taken his arm and leaned in close. No one had noticed, too enthralled by the young vigilantes. She opted to not introduce herself or explain her relationship with the bat. No one dared to ask either.
The last one to introduce himself was the butler. ''I have been given the moniker Agent-A. It is a pleasure to finally make the acquaintance of Batman's friends.'' He bowed slightly towards the JL.
Hal was of course the first to speak, ''Spooky has children. children. Plural.'' He sounded absolutely bewildered and as if his world had just ended.
''You think of us as your friends ?'' Asked a flabbergasted Barry.
''hnn.'' Was all the big broody bat answered but it was enough to almost bring a tear to some JL members eyes.
This was a big step and they all knew it. Batman had opened the extra, fortified door to his heart ever so slightly. He trusted them enough to tell him about his family.
Everyone felt a little warm inside as they left the Batcave after chatting a bit with the Batfamily, they shared some stories and answered some questions.
One after the other the Zeta called out their designation as they left the cave. Wally was the last, unwilling to leave just yet. Nightwing stood next to him as he typed in his code. Hesitating before he left, he was very happy as Nightwing grasped his hand in his hands and pulled it up to his lips to give it a gentle kiss. He smiled at Wally and said, ''See you around handsome.'' Then he let go of Wally's hand and Wally found himself in his city next to his uncle.
He felt something in his hand. It was a piece of paper with a number on it and a 'call me handsome ;)' written underneath it. Wally's brain promptly shut down and had to reboot. Batcat was the best thing that could've ever happen to him. He was eternally grateful for that alien.
Intensely thinking about Spike rn
My fever is gone now but I am so sad cause while I was in this weird delirious fever-dream state I had like a super cute idea for a oneshot and now I can't remember what it was :,)
What an adorable drawing! <3

“Dude be careful. Careful now… CAREFUL!”
“I am careful you annoying critter!”
THUMP
Christmas ornaments rolling over the wet floor and a wide-eyed Lyle standing on top of a shaky and rusty ladder, holding up a christmas star in one hand with the objective of putting it on the now fallen tree.
“You fucking retard oh my god!”
Oh, and Zachs screaming as he stood there with this hands at his hips, looking at Lyle like a disappointed mother after her child inevitably fucked up.
That was only one of the scenes which greeted you as you had entered the office on Christmas Eve. Not to mention Adam and Cory’s attempt at baking cookies which you could smell throughout the entire house.
“You guys need any help?” You laughed as you watched Zach pick up various ornaments. You put the presents you had brought on the couch, seeing as there was currently no tree to put them under.
“Yeah I need you to take Lyle out back and put that dumb christmas star between his eyes and through his skull.”
“Well if someone hadn’t been stressing me out the entire time, maybe I would have done a better job!”
Lyle was still standing on the ladder, looming over the fuming Zach from high up, arms crossed.
“(Y/n), can you please help with the tree for a second? I do not have the mental capacity to put up with Tribal over here..” Zach sighed and looked at you with a defeated expression.
Earning a quick laugh from you, you eventually decided to help after listening to some more of the back and forth between the boys which wouldn’t lead anywhere any time soon.
“You know what, I don’t even care, I’m just gonna help Adam and Cory in the kitchen.” Lyle huffed, stepping from the ladder and making his way out of the room.
“By the smell the cookies are burned already so you can’t do any more damage at least.” Zach spat back as he heaved the tree upright again with you. Lyle only stuck his tongue out at him in response.
Especially during the holidays it seemed as if each and every one of the boys reverted back to high schoolers. The way that they tried to “plan” everything also seemed akin to all those events that the students back at your school tried to do.
The entire building was busy, Chris was on the forefront of frantic. Checking how everyone was doing and if anyone needed any help as well as Tomar who tried to “gentle-parent” every conflict or wrongdoing that occured. Spoiler Alert:
It only worked with Adam.
And although the rooms smelt of burned cookies and wet pine needles; the Christmas atmosphere was surely building up. Everyone was wearing red and green elf caps and Ugly Christmas Sweaters™. Especially Zach’s had you giggling once you got a good look at it.
“Wow, awesome sweater you got there dude..”
He looked down on himself before looking you dead in the eye.
“Well he is my hero sooo ... you got a problem with that snowflake?”
His sweater read: “O.G. Don. Making Liberals Cry One Tweet At A Time.” And of course, a picture of a knit Donald Trump accompanying it.
You laughed at his impression. “Sure, yeah. Sorry.” “Tz, yeah I thought so.”
One by one Zach hung the fallen ornaments back on the tree and you started putting your gifts under it, earning a gasp from Zach.
“Holy shit why are some of them so big, how much did you spend?” He wanted to look at the tags, trying to spy for the one that was meant for him. You swatted his hand away quickly.
“I’m not gonna tell you how much I spent, Zach. Just be happy you’re getting anything with the way you annoyed me this year.” “Fair enough.”
You helped Zach with the decorations and the lights, accidentally spinning them around yourself as you tried to untangle the 4 metres of cable as quickly as possible. The mismatched ornaments were all over the place look-wise. Some of them were classic red and golden spheres with glitter over them. Other ones were… more explicit. Santa was definitely presenting a little more than you were used to from the Coca Cola Ads back in the day.
Zach also tried to debate you on the Sonichu ornament which he wanted to hang up right in the middle so it’d be the first thing that anyone saw when coming in. You really tried to convince him otherwise yet his argument of: “Well Christmas is all about friendships and Sonichu was Chris Chan’s best friend so you’re pretty ignorant if you want me to put him in the background” left no room for further discussion.
Once you made sure that Zach wouldn’t take a peek at any of the presents, you followed the smell of candies and burnt cookies to the kitchen where your gaze immediately found Adam who was sitting on the kitchen floor. Joint in hand, staring intensely into the oven (the light inside wasn’t even turned on).
“Oh, hey (y/n)! You wanna try the first batch?” Cory greeted you excitedly. Your eyes couldn’t help but wander from him pointing at the crumpled-ashy piles on the tray on the counter, to the apron he was wearing.
An arrow pointing upwards at his face with the subtitle: “This Guy rubs his own meat”
A Cory original it seems. He looked quite proud as he noticed your chuckle.
“Uhh- think I’ll pass..” You tried to weasel your way out of trying those science experiments. “The second batch won’t be..” “Akin to burn victims? No, I made sure of that.” Lyle chimed in from behind Cory.
“Burn Victims?” Adam gasped calmly yet with a hint of hurt. “Those are my babies all right? You guys are just judgemental..”
“Adam.” Lyle began, he stopped mixing more batter and turned to his friend on the ground. “Eating one of those would be like smoking 20 cigs at once.”
You chuckled at their little banter. You were just glad that there was no more fighting happening. Although that was probably thanks to the separation of Zach and Lyle.
“And what would be wrong with that?” Adam pouted, his eyes still fixed on the dark oven. You wondered how high he was flying already.
“Nicotine, Adam. Not weed.” Cory said before trying to pick up one of the burnt cookies which turned into something that could be compared to dust. Leaving Cory to blankly stare at his ashy hands.
“Mr Stark… I don’t feel so good.” You mumbled, earning a laugh from Adam who hadn’t even seen what you were talking about.
“By the way, where are Josh and Chris at? I saw them running around when I came in and I thought they’d be here with you guys.” You asked the three men in front of you.
“They’re in the recording room I think” Cory said, running a hand through his hair.
Just as you were about to turn around and make your way to the recording room, Adam spoke up quietly. “Noo, No! Chris and Tomar wanted to get a karaoke machine from one of Chris’ friends.”
“What, when they say that?” Befuddled, Cory looked down at Adam who’s attention was still on the oven.
“They stopped by and told us.” Cory’s gaze met yours, utter confusion apparent on both of your faces.
“How did you catch that but I didn’t?”
Adam just shrugged and took a drag of his joint. At that moment he looked like an Astronaut who experienced Zero Gravity for the first time.
“I think we can take out the second tray now and put these bad boys in.” Lyle spoke up. He held up the whisk. “Who wants to lick?”
“Don’t say it like that dude..” Adam finally got up from the ground, he looked like a toddler while doing so.
“What? I’m only offering my creamy left-over dripping liquid to someone in the room? What’s wrong with that?” A grin spread across Lyle’s face as Adam mimicked gagging at his words.
You and Cory simply laughed at the scene. “Besides, I’m sure (Y/n) would love to help me out with that.” A blush spread across your face, a nervous giggle leaving your lips as you took the whisk which Lyle handed to you with a wink. “You’re disgusting dude.” You said before trying the batter. Surprisingly enough, it actually tasted really dang good.
“That’s genuinely quite-”
“LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART-”
Besides making you drop the whisk and probably waking the entire street, George Michael seemed to want to shatter your eardrum with those vocals.
There was a deafening silence after the sudden jumpscare.
“Sorry!” A muffled apology was shouted from the living room, causing you and Cory to double over in laughter.
“What the fuck, Zach?” Lyle wanted to seem pissed but he couldn’t help the corners of his mouth twisting upwards as he shouted back.
The Man, The Myth, The Goblin then appeared in the doorframe to the kitchen, laughing at Adam’s shocked face.
“I just wanted to set up some atmospheric music”
“Yeah and how’d that work out?” You asked as you turned around to him.
As Zach profusely apologized to specifically Adam. Lyle began to put in the third and probably final batch of cookies.
“But in my defense!” Zach raised his voice along with his finger.
“It is kinda funny how that got you like ‘WHam!’ y’know.”
The silence that followed his wordplay was even more deafening than before.
“Alright yeah I get it, fuck you guys.” And with that he turned around on his heel and back into the living room.
Soon after though you heard the rustling of keys in the hallway, announcing the last two of the bunch who were hopefully coming to stay this time.
A bunch of grunts and huffs later, you and Lyle decided to take a look at what was going on and whether or not you were about to witness some extra Christmas-loving, judging from the sounds of panting.
“Oh (y/n), Lyle, hey there!” Tomar greeted the both of you. He and Chris were currently trying to carry in the karaoke machine that had been mentioned earlier.
“Uhh, do you guys need any help with that?” Lyle said, stepping from one foot to the other.
“I mean if one of you could hold open the door so it stops spanking me that’d be great.”
Chris’ back was turned to you, and the door indeed kept wanting to close on him. You quickly got to holding it open for him.
“Oh c’mon you like getting slapped on the ass though, don’t lie.” Zach suddenly spoke up after he entered the hallway to watch the scene along with you and Lyle.
Chris let out a strained laugh. “Sure, but you can do that later, babe.” He said, his voice dropping a few octaves lower, making Zach chuckle.
As you kept standing by the door, you finally noticed the familiar sound of “Jingle bell Rock” in the background, you were impressed that it took only two tries for Zach to set up something as easy as a stereo system. Although his hard work would soon become irrelevant again because the big-ass karaoke machine was now finally inside the office and on its way to the living room.
“Whoa, great job with the tree guys!” Chris exclaimed, wiping some sweat off of his brow before taking off his jacket and scarf.
“Yeah, wait till you see the first batch of cookies.” Lyle said jokingly, nodding toward the kitchen where Adam and Cory were peeking their heads out. “The cookies look good," both of them exclaimed, almost in unison.
“I’m sure you guys did your absolute best.” Tomar gifted them a warm smile, his fatherly demeanor unmistakable in his words.
A genuine smile broke from Adam’s lips: “Thank you Tomar!” to which the other shot him a thumbs up.
Chris then got to setting up the whole machine and for some reason, everyone including you just decided to watch him quietly. There wasn’t really much to do, the tree had been set up, the cookies were cooki(e)ng and music was playing. All of that combined created a sort of awkward atmosphere with some cover of “Winter Wonderland” playing quietly in the background.
Suddenly, Chris stopped handling the cable to turn around to face the onlookers. “What the fuck are you retards doing? Booze is in my car, Jesus christ.”
Lyle was the first to run outside, you and Zach following swiftly after.
As the first opened the trunk, he let out a sound of astonishment. “Holy shit- how much does he want us to drink?”
The trunk was filled with beer, rum, mulled wine and ingredients for eggnog. There was so much that it was no surprise that none of it had fallen over, there was literally no room for anything to fall over.
You rolled up your sleeves and clapped your hands together dramatically. “Alright, let’s get this stuff inside.”
Zach let out a guttural whine as he heaved the first six pack from the trunk, over exaggerating the physical effort to a maximum.
“Stop whining or I’ll give you something to whine about.” You joked at him. Lyle was already gone with some of the wine and rum under his arms.
Zack spat back at you: “Well maybe I’d like that!”
You both looked at each other for a second, blankly staring into the other ones eyes before bursting out into laughter.
“Alright dude, c’mon let’s get this over with.”
20 minutes and a couple of back’s cracking later, all of the booze was finally inside and the karaoke machine was all set up. The fridge had also been emptied for the eggnog and beer, leaving all of the healthy stuff on the counter, unrefrigerated. Cory’s response to your worry about there being mold was simply: “nah it’ll be fine.” And who were you to argue against such a well-thought-out point. (You tried and were just met with the same response).
Soon all of you found yourselves huddled together in the living room. Adam and you taking the carpet as the others made themselves comfortable on the couch.
“Okay! Who’s gonna bless us first with their beautiful, god-given voice?” Everyone’s eyes landed on Zach who shook his head profusely. “Nu-uh, no way. I’m not gonna go first, I’m not drunk enough to embarrass myself like that!” Cory stuffed a beer into his face and Chris was expectantly looking at him. He was the only one standing, excitedly holding out the mic to his friend.
“I hate you people, all of you.” He said, but gave in eventually (after downing about half the bottle in one go.)
After Zach’s (very sentimental) performance of “Don’t stop believing”, Lyle followed with a very metal rendition of “I want it that way.” Growling his way through the song apparently.
You finally decided to get on the couch between Chris and Cory since your bones did not like the floor as much as you had hoped.
Chris laughed out loud multiple times as he listened in on Zach, Tomar and Adam who were desperately trying to get the latter to understand how the machine worked and what song he wanted to pick.
As he doubled over, his hand landed on your leg as he tried to stabilize himself.
“Sir?” You exclaimed at him in a deep voice.
He realized then where his hand actually was. The alcohol seemingly giving him drunk-courage though with how his hand was moving upwards now.
“Oh- oh I’m sorry, I didn't mean to.” He kept babbling, his hand moving further, sending you into a fit of giggles.
“Chris!” You laughed a little louder as his hand was now dangerously close to your lap.
“Sorry, sorry.” He chuckled and removed his hand, holding it up in a feigned gesture of ‘you got me’.
Just as Cory was about to ask what is taking so long with the next song, Adam suddenly spoke up loudly, pointing outside:
“Oh my god it’s snowing!”
As if you were all connected through some secret hivemind, all of your heads whipped around to the balcony.
It was actually snowing. Holy shit.
In a matter of seconds, everyone put on their jackets, boots, scarfs and hats, storming outside to marvel at such a true christmas miracle.
Zach and Adam tried to catch the flakes with their tongues almost immediately upon arriving outside.
You were astonished as you stood there. Under the streetlights, the snow seemed to dance, each little snow crystal seeming like little stars falling from the sky.
“You alright there kiddo?”
Tomar came up to you, putting a hand on your shoulder as he spoke.
“Yeah just- just really surprised is all..” You huffed, leaning into the touch of the man beside you. The temperature dropped quite quickly.
“As soon as there's enough snow for me to form a ball, y'all better run!” you heard Lyle shout from across the lot, he and Chris were trying to gather as many flakes as possible. They were really hopeful for a snowball fight.
“Me too, I reckon we enjoy the snow for now though, might be gone in like an hour.”
You nodded, following him further out.
It didn't take long for everyone to fully revert back to little kids, you included.
Shaking the snow from one person's beanie into the hair of the other or picking up a little from the ground and trying to stuff it in someone else's face. Truly, no one was safe.
The Presents had long been disregarded, almost forgotten in the Winter wonderland you now found yourself in.
Even if it was a cliché, among the merriment and laughter around you, you realized that maybe the real Christmas was the friends you made along the way
:)
I feel so lonely
(in a sickly victorian but girly pop way)
rb to stare at a mutual like this:
Officer?
‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹
Pairing: Ryan Magee x Reader
Summary: You see Ryan in the officer costume and suddenly your view on him changes
Warnings: implicit Smut
A/N: I never write this stuff omg this is emberassing please ignore me
It might sound cliché but working with Supermega is full of surprises, there is nothing to expect, no predictions for what would be done and even if there was a video planned, whatever happened in it was still up to imagination.
That being said, you could already tell in what kind of direction the video they were currently filming would go into, judging from the cloud of smoke wafting through the building.
As their makeup artist you were not needed for today but that didn't mean you wouldn't be invited. And even if you weren't, the office was still a homely place to hang out from time to time. There was always at least someone still working or just chilling out.
Opening the door just a little more so that you could slip inside the recording room, you could already hear the very distinct sound of Ryan's giggle echoing throughout the entire area.
After exchanging a few "hi's" and "hello's" you let your gaze wander to Matt and Ryan, trying to understand what they had planned or were in the process of doing. As the realization of a pumpkin bong hit you, you couldn't help but laugh a little, that certainly was creative. The bigger your surpise was though when it actually seemed to work and people took turns hitting it, not complaining about the taste as much as you had expected.
Soaking in the quite chaotic scene in front of you, you couldn't help but appreciate Ryan's costume. Given the fact that it was quite corny, all with the "officer tipsy" and of course the typical trademarked shorts, he still made it look more than good. Very good actually.
A little too good maybe.
It wasn't just the uniform, it was his hair and how it was styled underneath the equally corny hat, it was the way that he just stood there, looking around the room as he took another drag of his blunt that he had seemingly conjured up out of nowhere.
And of course, the way he blew the smoke out of his mouth while looking straight into your eyes.
He looked stoned out of his mind, gifting you a smile after his eyes widenend a bit upon seeing that you were also among the other crew now. Reciprocating the smile, you forced your eyes to look at something different, those thoughts were getting really inappropriate for a workplace and especially when those thoughts were about your boss.
Although calling Matt and Ryan your bosses sounded weird to everyone, it was still a fact that you were painfully reminded of in those few seconds that his eyes seemed to pierce into your soul, it was probably just because he was high, let's be honest, how telling can a mere look be? At least that is what you repeated in your head over and over.
You knew Ryan for almost a year now, being introduced to him through Matt, his best friend, those thoughts had never plagued your mind once. So why were these things surfacing now? You guessed that he had always been rather good looking but still- this type of appreciation of someone's looks felt different than just a simple "You look good".
"You good there?" Slowly shaking your head, you realized that Luke had been trying to get your attention for some time now. "Uh yeah, just the smoke and all, makes me dizzy" you offered an apologetic smile which he returned, although looking a little more concerned than you would have liked. "You know, you can smoke too if you want, got a blunt right here." He held it in front of you, waiting to see if you'd take it. Still unsure of how to deal with your improper thoughts about someone you had up until now only considered as a friend, you simply took it and thanked him. With a quick pat of your shoulder he went back to his equipment to check the sound quality.
A few hits was all it took for you to already feel a tad bit lighter, so light in fact that you had not even noticed that the recording session had seemingly ended. The crew was chatting amongst themselves while some exclaimed to go outside for some fresh air, Matt included.
Not knowing what to do with yourself, you simply just stood next to Luke and his Laptop, trying to make sense of whatever program he was using on there and that is when you noticed a movement in the corner of your eye. "Heyy, sorry for only noticing you so late, were you here the whole time?" Luke and you looked up at Ryan as he approached, Luke's attention was swiftly drawn back to his own stuff while yours wished that it wouldn't over analyze the man in front of you right now.
"Oh, oh no don't worry! I just came in." You were definitely stumbling over your own words, what the hell was up today? Maybe you were beginning to come down with something?
"Damn and you're already smoking? Man we are a bad influence." he giggled quietly. In a way he was right, before you had moved to L.A to work with Supermega you weren't really down with the drugs so to speak. And even if they were the ones who had gotten you into it, at least you felt like you were responsible enough about it.. well maybe except for today.
Waving your hand in a dismissive gesture you gave him a sympathetic laugh, uncertain what to even say.
His eyes were really beautiful-
As the thought crossed your mind you instinctively looked down at your feet, jesus christ. Is that really all it takes? A cheap halloween costume and some nice hair?
"Anything wrong?" oh great, the second time someone asked, really sly today, aren't we?
What was there to say? 'Oh it seems that I suddenly find myself being quite infatuated with your looks and by the way also your personality which I had never realized until now'. Nope, that wouldn't do.
"Yeah just uhh-" Eyes darting around the room, searching for an excuse. "Just when I came in like there were people and it overwhelmed me.. and stuff"
'People' was Ryan and 'Overwhelmed' was an understatement.
He looked at you for a moment, a contemplating expression on his face. "I get that don't worry, you wanna come to the kitchen with me? Wanted to grab myself something to drink anyway. Besides it's way cooler there also." Oh.
Oh no.
You had agreed to come with him, also just grabbing a drink, praying that someone else would be there in the kitchen with you and yet; empty.
Grabbing a soda from the fridge and subsequently sitting down on one of the bar stools that stood by the kitchen counter, you watched as Ryan did the same and it became quite apparent that he was still high since he started snickering at the squeaky sound that the carbon caused when he slowly turned the cap of the bottle.
His laugh though, you couldn't help but start smiling. It was so contagious and that is when you realized how much you actually liked him. He was staring at something, probably spacing out now and it gave you a chance to unapolgetically stare at him for but a little while.
His peachy skin, the beautiful brown eyes, his beard, and the way his hair seemed to always and effortlessly be able to frame his face just right, he really was pretty.
And it wasn't just that, there were multiple nights where both of you had stayed up until morning, either in person or on the phone, talking about all kinds of different topics. Sometimes about grief and life, sometimes just about silly ideas for sketches or you begging him to at least try eyeliner for once in his life.
In the early days when you just began to work there, you were overwhelmed, often going into different rooms at get togethers or parties since the crowds of people, even if they were your friends, still made you anxious. And he was the one that followed you. Often you had spent entire parties just with him on the balcony. Drinking in peaceful silence and opening up to each other. He wasn't one for parties either if he was honest. He enjoyed them but you and him had agreed that a social battery could so easily be drained.
Maybe you just wanted to repress that all, maybe there was something after all.
"Do I look funny to you or why that dreamy smile?" Ryan looked perplexed as he noticed you staring at him, admiring him almost, but he couldn't know that.
You shook your head. "No, you just look really pretty" Before you even realized what you had just said, the words had already left your mouth, leaving you to just deal with the shame that now washed over you. "What?" He blushed a little, only a slight tint of blood rushed to his cheeks and he looked.. almost bashful?
"That was really inapropriate, oh god I'm sorry" You uncomfortably shifted in your seat, alarm sirens going off in your head and then there was this strange urge to just run away in a full sprint, however you seemed to be glued to your seat, fidgeting with the skin between your fingers.
Out of your periphiral vision you saw him turning towards you, shifting in his seat.
"You know what?"
Tears were forming in your eyes, of course you had to fuck it up like this. 'You know what? You're fired'. You already saw it in your mind, how he would later go to Matt and tell him how uncomfortable you made him, your tears were threatening to spill as-
"You're also really pretty"
Your head shot up, looking at him with something that can only be described as 'shocked suprised'.
"Actually, you're like the prettiest person I know."
Again, his gaze pierced into your soul, he was looking directly at you. Still in that corny costume that you liked so much on him. He laughed breathlessly:
"Man, weed makes me too honest sometimes.. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable now"
His eyes were still on yours, shaking you head slowly, reassuring him that you were okay. More than okay actually.
Suddenly your mind went foggy as you noticed that you were only mere inches away from each other. His eyes were darting between your eyes and your lips and you felt yourself leaning more and more into him.
"I dunno if that's a good idea" you whispered with an unsure smile.
"Then let's find out together, okay?"
Barely being able to give him a little nod, he closed the gap between the two of you. His lips felt so soft against yours and you could taste the weed as you kissed him.
A quick kiss, to see if it was okay, and then you seperated. Not far from each other though.
"Good idea?" Ryan whispered, giving you the sweetest and most genuine smile you had ever seen.
"Yeah"
And then his lips were on yours again in an instant, his teeth scraping ever so slightly at your bottom lip and before you had even realized, he had pressed you against the cold kitchen counter, pulling you against him by placing his hands onto your hips with a featherlight touch, as if he was afraid that you could break if he wasn't careful enough.
Both of you still high, yet more so of the kiss than any drugs, smiling into the kiss and putting your arms around his neck, having him dip down just a little more.
The two of you released from each other for but a moment, just admiring one another. "I like this outfit you know.." You said, mindlessly picking at the fabric around his back. He chuckled lightly. "Wanna know something?" "hm?" He gave you a mischievious look that you had never really seen before. "Think there were also handcuffs that came with it." As your face started to redden, Ryan couldn't help but start giggling.
Quickly pulling yourself together again though, you gently placed a hand onto his cheek, directing his gaze towards you once again. "Well then, I guess that piques my interest, Officer."
