WARNINGS: None.

Beth had always been careful when it came to alcohol. She knew that since her parents were alcoholics at one point, it’s very likely that she could easily become one as well. But today, she just really needed it. Sitting by the bar, she sipped daintily at her martini. “Do you ever think sometimes men are just all around terrible? They bait you in with their pretty words and time-limited gentlemen-like actions, but then the moment they trapped you down, they just --” She shrugged and gave a small head tilt. “You know?”

Turning into the parking lot, Ryan gently tapped on the gearbox and shifted down to first gear before bringing his bike to a stop. Angling his bike just right and his left hand holding firmly onto the clutch, he rolled his bike back into the parking slot. Once parked, he made sure to check his surrounding before shifting gear back to neutral, kicking down the kickstand, and finally shutting off the engine. The whole process came naturally to Ryan with all the years of practice. 

Once the alarms are all set, Ryan hopped off his bike and took off his helmet before shaking his hair loose. Out the corner of his eye, he spotted someone distinctly familiar. With a rather excited grin, Ryan made his way towards the figure. “Hello, gorgeous! Fancy meeting you here.” He greeted Kitty while still clad in his riding gear and his helmet under his arm.

“I swear to god, if you continue to say stupid shit like this, you can find yourself a new lawyer to represent you. -- Nuh uh, and I can promise you nobody will put up with your shit like I did. So keep your mouth shut for the next few days or I will sew it shut. Understood?” Gail said sternly into her phone as she walked briskly down the corridor. What did I do to deserve these idiots as clients, honestly? She thought exasperatedly. 

Being so immersed in her phone call, Gail noticed a split second too late that she was about to barrel into someone much shorter than her. “I’ll call you when I have more information, don’t fucking call me before then.” She hung up her call and an apology was on the tip of her tongue when she saw who she bumped into. “Aren’t cats suppose to know how to land on their feet?”

Ryder had no idea what it was the struck the idea that staring a YouTube channel with Kitty was a good idea. It was one of those moments after watching YouTube fore countless hours that it subconsciously just slid into his mind. If Ryder was going to do this with anyone, it would definitely be Kitty. He wouldn't know where to start and Kitty would be the right person to get him focus rather than positing any old random crap without making him look like an idiot for the world. Kitty would also be completely honest with Ryder which he really appreciated from her and he admired it so much. Plus with their natural banterous chemistry off and probably on camera, the two would be raining in views, right?

Friday night rolled around quite quickly that week and Albus was very excited to say the least. He had made plans to play poker with Kitty and gamble sweets and chocolate. The day before, he had made sure to buy a good weight in Cadbury, Galaxy, Gummy bears, Jelly Babies and Sherbet Lemons! He packed a very loud bag with the treats and apperated to Camden, right outside Kitty’s door step. He checked the address twice to make sure he was in the right place and then knocked three times waiting with a smile on his lips.

His lab was a cluttered mess, some of it piled up to the ceiling through various shelves- other pieces of tech were spread out across his counters, blinking, buzzing, or being scanned for various purposes. Coulson had gifted this space to him personally, he was going to make good use of it. 

It was probably because he was so used to having people pop in for a question or to bark an order that he didn’t immediately turn around when his door slid open. Without skipping a beat, Fitz continued to tighten the bolts on his holographic machine and called out behind him. “One sec- jus’ finishin’ up.” He chewed on his lower lip as the final screw was twisted into place, finally placing it aside to look at who had just come by. 

Ryder always was close with his parents; things changed when he moved to New York and started his own adult life with job and paying rent, but never before he hid something big as his marriage. Mr and Mrs Lynn knew about Ryder and Kitty, Ryder was ready to bet they knew about his feelings for Kitty even in high school, but it was a month and they still had no idea that their son's wearing a ring on his finger. Ryder felt a little guilty about it, parents probably expected big beautiful wedding in church with outside ceremony and lots of relatives, but it felt so right there; the more he thought about it-the more he was glad they did it in ordinary clothes in Vegas where Kitty Wilde became Kitty Lynn just like he dreamed about all high school. Marriage found out even better than he expected, it felt a little weird to move in only after marriage, but they never were an ordinary couple.
