m.list - ask - who am i?

THE DAY FELT somewhat melancholy despite the sun shinning high in the sky, lighting up on goers who started the day, the sky clear of clouds that once covered its baby blue structure.

hey lord you know i'm tired of tears

Gia was in her room getting ready for a day out with friends, this was the first time in weeks since summer started that she last saw them and y/n thought it would be good for her to get out the house while the good weather stood still.

Their mother was out at work, working double shifts to be able to provide for the family meaning that they were home alone. Originally Rue was supposed to watch over the three but she decided that y/n would be a better fit. Rue was, mentally unstable to put it in lack of better words so the outcomes of her watching them wouldn't be good.

Something in the air was foul but the trash was taken out, dishes were clean, and the floor was moped, it always was.

y/n waltzed out of their room with a pep in their step. They danced throughout the hall, careful not to tangle their fingers in the new headphones rue bought for them. The song was I'm Tired by Labrinth. Although the song was sad something about it was beautiful and graceful, it was like walking on memory foam.

They go up to Gias' door, swaying their hips as the walk. Before their fist could hit the door it swung open revealing Gia with a bag in her hand, giving them a teasing smile.

She motions for them to turn down the music, "They're outside, I was just about to go."

Y/n nods and moves out of the way so she could pass by, they takes out a earbud noticing Gias outfit, they whistles at her as Gia does a little spin. "Damn, okay! That's nice. Who got that for you again?"

Gia rolls her eyes and flips them off "You did."

Y/n exclaims and walks towards her. "damn right I did!" They adjust the jacket that rested on her shoulders and leaned in, "Okay, you be safe you hear? No drugs, No sex, No drinking, No-"

Gia cuts them off, turning around to head to the door "Yes mom."

"Phone?"

Gia raises her hand, in it was her phone that was cracked on the back.

"Pepper spray?"

She shakes her bag.

"Money-?"

"I gotta goo," She laughs opening the door and walking out, she leaves it open and y/n steps forward and stands in it. Watching as she runs down the walkway giggling as her friends usher her over.

"I love you!" y/n shouts playing with the hem of her tank top, their eyebrows crease with worry. They know she'll be alright but the fear still sets within.

The sound of the cars engine roars to life and the driver puts the car in drive. As they roll away Gia yells back a muffled "Love you too!" the car slowly goes down the road and y/n sits there watching them leave.

Sighing, they lock the door up and closes the blinds. The dust practical in the air float around as the only light now was the one in the hallway leading to rues room.

where is Rue? She hadn't been out of her room all day, not even to use the bathroom or get something to eat.

"that's not healthy," They go to the kitchen and grab a poptart not bothering to warm it up, but, they do put it on a plastic plate. The move their iPod in their left hand.

"Rue?" They call out, closing the cabinet. They don't get a response back and rolls their eyes.

"Rue!" They call out again making their way to the hallway that leads to her room. Once again no response, "dude what the fuck?" Either Rue wasn't actually responding or they just couldn't hear over the volume of the repeating song. They nudge one of the earbuds out of their ear.

They walk closer to the door, muffled gargles come from inside and a loud thump shakes the floor.

"rue?" everything stills as y/n slowly opens the door, their blood runs cold, the sound of the music fades away as the grunting gets louder. "oh dear god."

Please don't say you need me

rue lays on the floor convulsing, vomit soaks her top and trails down the side of her neck and piles up at the corner of her mouth. She was bent backwards letting all her weight onto her legs. Two needles and several bottles are knocked over next to her. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as her arms fall from her body.

Release me, Believe me

Y/n is frozen in fear, the sound of Rues cries get drowned out by their own as they scream out in pain, "RUE!" they run into the room leaving the poptart discarded in the hallway, they bump into the door frame, knocking the ipod out of their hands.

One day you will see me

their body shakes as they sob, tears build up clouding their vision, they lean out hands trying to still rues body but the fear of hurting her lingers and their hands hover over it. "fuck, shit, rue oh my god, what did you do?!"

they quickly pick up the bottles that lay next to her, Fentanyl, it reads. The entire bottle was empty, "fuck."

Believe me, Believe me

They pick up the ipod and stand up, the smell of bile is pungent. "I'm calling for help rue, don't worry baby, I got you."

9-1-1, they dial, it slips out of their shaking hands and almost lands onto the floor.

One day you will see me

It takes a few seconds to get right but sooner or later the dial sound rings out and a monotone voice echoes back from behind the screen.

Believe me, Believe me~

Rue Bennett x Reader

summary: The reader wakes up their girlfriend on christmas day.

warnings: none! just fluff

AN: this ones a bit short, but I enjoyed writing it a lot! i missed my rue rue </3i hope you like it!! (i don’t have a name for it as of rn sorry my brain is fried) stay safe & happy holidays!

Being able to lay in the same bed as your girlfriend felt like heaven. Her arms wrapped haphazardly around your torso as her hair sprawled across the pillowcases. Her gentle breath fanned out across your neck. You were spending Christmas morning with the Bennett’s and you couldn’t be more excited.

The sun was unexpectedly shining brightly in comparison to the cold and snowy Decembers you're used to. This causes you to break away from your dream state and slide into consciousness. You ever so slightly turn towards your phone to check the time. It was already seven in the morning. You’re not completely sure when the Bennett’s open their presents, but you didn’t have to think about that for very long.

“Good Morning! We’re going to start soon. Good luck trying to wake that one up.” Gia chuckles. “We’re in the living room.” You reply with a thanks. This’ll probably take a while. If there was one thing to know about Rue is that she loves her sleep.

There are two ways you could do this. Act like a child and jump on the bed, or shower her in kisses and tickles till she budges. You decide on the latter and get to work. Moving her stray hair away from her face, you lean in and feather light kisses all over her face. She starts to groan as if she isn’t enjoying your love. That facade is broken when you see a faint smile appear. Bingo.

“Baby….baaaaby...Rue Rue I know you’re awake.” You giggle as she tries to keep a straight face. A string of babbling nonsense leaves her mouth. The only coherent thing she happened to mutter was, “five more minutes please.”

“I didn’t want to do it but you leave me no choice.” You suddenly straddle her hips and go straight to her tickle spots. A roar of uncontrollable laughter spills from her mouth as her eyes shoot open.

“O-okay! I’m up! i’m up!” She exclaims and you cease your motions. You stay in your spot, straddled over her, to admire her beauty. Rue is one of the strongest people you know (although she’d beg to differ). Your eyes memorized her smooth skin and effortlessly groomed eyebrows. Her slightly crooked smile and beautiful brown eyes staring back at you.

“What you looking at, dork?” Rue tries to hide her blush, but fails. You cup her jaw and caress her cheek. You turn her head to look right back at you.

“My beautiful girlfriend, who I have the pleasure of spending Christmas with her wonderful family. That family is also waiting on us to get things started. I don’t want them thinking that we’re doing something we’re not!” You joke at the end and lean in to award her with a kiss. As you pull away you can’t help but giggle at Rue’s blissed out face.

Rue Bennett x Reader

summary: you & rue spend your winter break together

warnings: fluff fluff & some more fluff

AN: super soft & i loved writing this! i hope everyone enjoys & i’ll be back to write more mcu fics in the near future!! stay safe everyone <3

To say you were bored would be an understatement. It’s been four days since winter break started and all you have done is lay down on your bed or at Rue’s. You love spending time with your girlfriend, but there is only so much fun you could do at home.

You were baking cookies in the middle of the night with the Bennett’s when the brilliant thought came to mind.

“You want to go to a light show?” Rue raised her eyebrow in amusement.

“Come on! It’ll be fun! Plus when was the last time we left the house? We could take my car!” You gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes.

“...fine,” You jump up and down. “But! If you get cold that’s your problem.” You roll your eyes and scoop her into your arms.

“We’ll have fun I promise.” You sneak a kiss in and get back to work decorating your cookies.

Your parents were calling for you to come home since you’ve been at the Bennett residence more times in the past couple of days then you’ve been home. Understandably so, you got ready to go home. As you were packing your small bag of clothes you felt lanky arms close in around your waist. A faint smile adorned on your face as you turned around and wrapped your arms around her neck. Rue's face went straight to the crook of your neck as the two of you stood there in each other's arms.

“You know, it’s kind of pathetic that we get sad when we’re apart. I’ve been here for almost a week and we’re literally seeing each other tomorrow.” You laugh. Rue picks up her head and laughs as well.

“Once we move out together we won’t have this problem,” She leans in. “I’d get to come home every day to you.” She whispers and connects your lips. The kiss was interrupted by the ringing of your phone. You sigh as you see it’s your Dad calling. The two of you share a knowing look as she walks you to the front door.

“I’ll pick you up at seven, okay? I love you,” You give her a quick peck on the lips and move out the door.” Bye Leslie, bye Gia!”

…

It was 7pm sharp the next day and you were outside Rue’s door. In your hand you carry two hot chocolates. Rue would never tell you this, but you ruined hot chocolate for her (in a good way). Every hot coco she has doesn’t compare to the ones you make. She’s even tried to make some the same way you do, but it never meets her expectations.

You walk up to her door with the brightest smile. Rue appears in front of you as you were about to nudge the door bell with your elbow. Her face immediately lit up with the sight of your infamous hot chocolate. She looked at your hand & immediately smiled.

“Thank you so much!” She takes the travel tumblr and kisses your forehead. “I have no idea what I’d do without you.” She continues to pepper kisses all over your face as you giggle.

“Come on loser let’s go.” You nudge her and head to your car.

It was only a fifteen minute drive from the Bennett residence to the light show. The two of you spent the whole time singing along to your favorite songs. Rue also brought along the film camera you bought her for her birthday. She has a real talent for finding the beauty in things. You were in the middle of you badly performing an Ariana Grande song when you turned your head to see Rue snapping away. Your face immediately heats up.

“Baby!” You shriek as Rue laughs.

“Oh come on! You looked adorable.” She smiles at you and takes your free hand into her’s. You playfully roll your eyes as you turn into the park where the lights are up.

“Do you want to walk it or stay in the car?” You turn to her and ask.

“I think we should walk.” She replies with a faint smile. You pull into the parking space and head to the ticket booth hand in hand.

You buy your tickets and are on your way. There weren’t many people who chose to walk the trail since it was a lot colder than you expected. Every few moments you would shiver, but there was no way you’d admit that you were cold.

At some point you were able to take Rue’s camera and take pictures of her. You were in awe. The way the lights hit her face combined with the rosy pink that dusted the tip of her nose and cheeks made her look stunning. Assuming she could feel your eyes on her, she turned her head to look back at you.

“I love you, you know.” She wraps her arms around your hips and snuggles into your neck. You let out a content sigh and kiss her on her forehead. She tilts her head back up to look at you. You pull a loose strand of hair behind her ear and hold her chin.

“I love you too.” You smile and kiss her.

Ugly Sweaters & Holiday Cheer

Holiday Prompt List

Holiday Masterlist

request: above

fluff!!

AN: okay here we are w/ our 2nd Holiday fic! Took a bit longer since finals start tmrw, so wish me luck! ty for all the love! Stay safe 🤍

Ever since Rue’s dad passed away, the holidays have always been extra hard on her and her family. Rue thought that she wouldn’t ever get that joy for the holidays back... that is, until she met you. It was a week before Christmas and Rue hasn’t been this exited to spend the holidays with the most important people in her life. For you on the other hand, that was a completely different story.

Being a hopeless romantic is one thing, but being both a hopeless romantic and a lover of the holidays was another. You just so happened to be both. Growing up, you always loved the idea of sharing the special holiday cheer with the ones you loved the most. When you started dating Rue, it was a bit of a challenge, but she’s warming up to it little by little.

You were the type of person to immediately rush into holiday decorations and music the second Thanksgiving was over. Rue looked at you like you were crazy (rightfully so) when you called her over to help you decorate at 12am. Being her lovely self, she went over anyway. Rue would never tell you this, but that was one of the most fun she has had revolving around the holidays since her dad passed.

Flash forward to the last day of classes. The bell rung and winter break finally commenced. You were excited to be able to wake up later and especially to spend the holidays with Rue. You were walking back from your English class when you caught up with your girlfriend and Lexi. Rue beamed her ever so adorable smile as you came into her line of vision. You, Rue, and Lexi had plans to hang out at the roller rink after class, so they both waited for you at your locker.

“Hey, loser.” Rue wrapped her hands around your waist and rested her chin on your shoulder. You playfully roll your eyes and kiss her on the cheek.

“Hey, you! Hi, Lex. How was class?” You shimmy out of Rue’s grasp and move to open your locker. Lexi says hi and then immediately goes on a rant about having to do group work with one of the annoying jocks. You look at Rue and she just shrugs.

“I mean come on! A group project due when we come back from break? I can’t wait to do this by my- what is this?” You pull out three matching ugly sweaters with matching socks with a massive grin.

“I thought that we could wear these tonight!” You gave one to Rue and one to Lexi.

“Babe, no way in hell am I wearing that.” Rue stares at you like you have seven heads.

“Come on! it’s just for tonight! And maybe Christmas Day? I got another pair for your mom and Gia.” You stare back up at her with the biggest puppy dog eyes.

Rue looks at Lexi for some kind of backup, but Lexi is just trying her best to not laugh. She looks back down at you as you and Lexi bust out laughing. She rolls her eyes and flips you both off.

You fake gasp, “That’s not very festive of you!”

Rue fake contemplates weather she is going to wear it or not. Unbeknownst to you, she already made up her mind the second she say how excited you were. The fluttering sensation of butterflies swarmed her belly every time you look at her with those beautiful eyes. She’s really falling for you.

“Fine. I mean I guess we’ll look pretty cute in them.” She chuckled as you press kisses all over her face.

The three of you walk out to your car. Rue and you are hand in hand.

“Thank you for putting up with me. You know, you don’t have to do anything I suggest. The holidays are hard for you, so if i’m overstepping just let me know.” You tuck a stray hair behind her ear.

Feelings

Lexi Howard x reader

request: above

warnings: nothing much just mentioning of teenaged drinking

AN: I’m so sorry for this coming out so late i’ve just been loaded at school, but I hope this is what you wanted! Something about sapphics doing makeup for another sapphic makes my heart s o a r (also if you get my Killing Eve reference i’ll love you forever) requests are open!

It was the night of the homecoming dance and you were over at the Howard’s getting ready. You really didn’t want to go, but since Lexi asked you to go with her, you went. You know that you’d do anything for her, so it wasn’t a surprise to you that you gave in.

You’ve only been in this town for a few months now. The first friends you’ve made over here we’re the Howard sisters. Although you were close with both of them, you just felt a different feeling around Lexi. It only took you another month to realize that you were falling for her, and hard. It didn’t take Cassie that much longer to see that you had feelings for her sister.

When Cassie found out she swore that she’d do her best to try and hook the two of you up. You thought this was silly since you already believed that Lexi wanted nothing to do with you if it wasn’t platonic. Little did you know, you were completely wrong. It seems like almost everyone and their moms knew about your crush on Lexi and Lexi’s crush on you.

So here you are, in a surprisingly comfortable suit you got last minute at the thrift store with a black lacy bralette. The only thing you had left to do was do your makeup, which luckily for you, you had no idea how to do. You walk out out of the bathroom and head back into the girls room. Cassie and Lexi were both almost done getting ready when you walked in. For some reason you felt nervous around her since you never dress this fancy.

Lexi looks up from putting on her last touches of makeup to look at you. The two of you held a little staring contest before Cassie broke the awkward silence. “Okay y/n! You look hot! The fit is so cute.”

You smiled and said thank you, still waiting on Lexi to snap out of it. You started to get nervous once more. What if she didn’t like what you were wearing? Did you do too much for homecoming?

“I still have no idea what to do with my hair I-I think i’ll leave it down? Oh god I still have to do my makeup.” You ramble while playing with your hands.

“You look beautiful, y/n.” Lexi finally spills. “Oh, and I promised that i’d do your makeup, remember?” You nod your head yes and walk to her. Lexi takes her hand and pushes a stand of your hair behind your ear. “Keep it down, it’s pretty.”

You’ve never felt like this about someone your whole life, and quite frankly, you were terrified. She signaled you to sit at her vanity while she did your makeup. You watched her every delicate move and studied every freckle on her face. The comfort of having her so close to you made you want to kiss her. You didn’t know how long you could take it, but by the time you could even think of making a move, she was done.

You got a good look at yourself in the mirror and then it was time for the three if you to go. Before we were allowed to leave, Miss.Howard made us take pictures together. After at least another ten minutes, we were on our way.

The dance was pretty anti-climatic since both of you were too pussy to ask one another if they wanted to dance. For the majority of the night, the two of you shared stolen glances and called that flirting. That would’ve kept going the whole night until a slightly intoxicated Maddy got annoyed.

“Oh my god, y/n this is so painful to watch.” Maddy flung her hands up into the air. Everyone sat at the table turned to look at her and waiting for her to continue on her what is soon to be a drunken rant.

“When are the two of you gonna grow some fucking balls! This whole night you and Lexi have been longing after eachother and i’m sick of it!” Maddy slurs and Lexi blushes. “Why is it that literally everyone knows that y’all have feelings for eachother besides the people who need to know the most!” And with that, Maddy stands up and heads to the bathroom.

Rue and Jules were trying to keep their laughter in (while failing miserably) and Cassie sat in shock. You finally decide if not now then when. You take Lexi’s arm and pull her onto the dance floor for a slow dance.

“I-im sorry about her-” Lexi says, but you cut her off with a kiss. She was surprised at first, but soon after she returned that action. She pulled you away and caressed you’re cheek.

“Does this mean you like me too, because i’ll be real disappointed if ur doesnt.” She joked as you giggled.

masterlist

“Ugh!” you groaned. This week has been one of the most stressful you’ve had in a while. You had been given the task to do a series of paintings. The theme for the paintings were ‘light’. The catch is that your professor doesn’t want you to take it literally. No matter how much you asked him to elaborate, he refused! You sighed and put your forehead on the desk. If only you could actually think.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Rue kissed the top of your head and kneeled beside you. You lifted your head to look at her and immediately had the idea you were praying for.

“Oh my god! OH MY GOD!” you shot up from you chair & started jumping.

“What? Y/n what is going on!?” Rue looked at you confused.

“My professor has us doing a big project and the theme is light, but i just got an amazing idea!! I’m gonna need your help!” And with that you gathered all of your supplies.

The giggles of you and your girlfriend Rue could be heard ringing throughout your dorm room. Rue got clean her senior year and took in photography as a new way to cope. She has such a skill for it and you were extremely proud when she told you she applied for college. Whenever you hace an art project the two of you make it a day. You borrow her camera and walk around the city.

This time, you decided to change it up. You set up a spot in the dorm to have Rue model for you. After a few hours, you finally have your pictures.

“Why do you need me again? You haven’t told me your idea.” Rue said over your shoulder as you upload the pictures to your laptop.

“You’re gonna have to wait. I promise you’ll love it.” You smile and get straight back to work.

It’s been two weeks and you’re on your last painting. The whole week Rue has been bugging you to find out what you’re doing for tour project. You find it absolutely adorable. She’s been trying bribe you. One day she came home with all of your favorite snacks and smothered you in kisses. After you told her you weren’t gonna tell her, she gave you the silent treatment for all of ten minutes.

The day finally came when you finished and Rue couldn’t be more excited. You laid out the paintings on the bed and waited for her to get home. You couldn’t help but to be a little bit nervous.

“Can I open my eyes yet? You’ve had me waiting for so long.” Rue jokes.

“Okay open in three, two, one...” You count down. You look at Rue to try see her reaction. She took you into her arms and kissed you.

“This is beautiful, y/n.” She caresses you’re cheek.

“You mean everything to me and I wanted to show you exactly that. You are the light of my life.”
