↪ Warnings: Fluff, Stuttering (Sorry), Not the best of Writing, Oscar Isaac
↪ Summary: Your first day on the job. Seems simple enough right? Well, that simplicity changes when you meet your new boss and new coworker. Simple....right?
A/N : I'm so sorry for this. The stuttering does get out of hand tbh- I hope this isn't too cheesy. This is from my Wattpad. It's sure going to look childish. Yeah, just read it. What could go wrong?
Cheerio!
Words: 1k :)
It was a day like no other.
You had work today at the Museum. You had just gotten a job there and didn't want to go. Sure, it was to pay off rent, and yeah, you thought it would be fun.
But, waking up at 6 am just to sell things that didn't associate with Egyptians seemed foolish.
You lifted yourself off your very comfortable bed. It was the most relaxed you've been in a while. You had such a groggy feeling as you lazily opened your eyelids. Your eyes gave a second to adjust.
The sun shined through your curtains. You stretched your arms and yawned as you set your eyes on your alarm clock.
6:55...
That's what it read. right? You squinted your eyes so that you could make sure you were reading it correctly.
"Oh, bloody hell.."
You huffed as you quickly got up to grab your clothes from your dresser. Two words repeated in your head as you tried to rush your way out of the apartment. 'I'm Late. I'm Late. I'm Late!'
You eventually did make it out the door but, dang, you didn't have your keys.
You rolled your eyes as you barged back into your apartment to find your keys. Didn't take you long, but it could've been quicker to find them.
You stormed out the door, locking it swiftly. You would be delighted to just look decent since you didn't get a chance to even look at yourself in the mirror.
Just what you need to start your new day at work.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
You had eventually set foot into the museum. Sadly, you were looking for the gift shop. Your field of vision was a bit lazy as you tried your hardest to look around without looking like a twat.
Your search was stopped when someone tapped your shoulder.
Your body jolted towards the tap. Your eyes had moved first as your head followed to reveal a woman. A very disappointed-looking woman to be exact.
Your eyes went straight for the name tag. It read 'Donna'
'Shit, it's my boss'
The stiffness in your body grew as she stared at you with a disgusted face.
"Annndd where the hell have you been?"
Her accent was strong as she scolded you. You gave her a sheepish smile as you scratched the back of your neck.
"I- I'm sorry, I wo-"
"I don't need your excuses, your 'partner' was late too. Can I not even have loyal employees?!"
Her voice rose. You were stuck on the word she used for your secretary. They are supposed to help you in the Gift Shop department since you've never been good with cashiers. You would've never expected them to be late.
"Well? get to WORK!"
Your eyes grew wider as people around you began to stare. You nodded to Donna, yet, you still had to ask her one more question. Where the hell is the gift shop.
"Don-"
"To your right"
"Yes ma'am"
You saluted her off for some reason. You shook it off as you jogged towards the Gift Shop. Luckily, it was easy to see. You were also glad to see that there weren't any customers.
You finally reached a white counter that shined bright against the lights from the ceiling.
You looked left and right for your so-called secretary. You couldn't quite find them so you just decided to take a minute for yourself and put your stuff away.
You had also found a small mirror on the counter.
You decided it would be best to fix the mess of hair that appeared to be a bird's nest.
You laughed a bit at yourself as you attempted to fix it. Along with your eye bags, you grabbed some under-eye foundation, which you thought was very useful.
As you began to place the substance on your face, some sort of eerie feeling came upon you. It didn't feel right but it didn't feel wrong either.
You shook your head slightly and finished the rest of the mush on your face so it didn't look out of place.
Suddenly, your eyes met with another's in the mirror. You looked concerned as you slowly turned towards the being.
"Oh..h-hi"
Someone said with a flustered voice. Your face met with theirs. You scanned them, it was a guy. A very handsome guy to say the least.
You had forgotten about their greeting so you blurted out,
"H-hello!"
Your face went into a bright pink as the man chuckled a bit at your response. You tried to laugh along but your brain felt like it was shutting down.
"I-I'm guessing you're the one working with me, no?"
You forced yourself to nod a 'yes' towards the black-haired boy. He appeared to be wearing a grey jacket of sorts with a button-up collar and some very nice dark grey jeans. He had very curly hair which fell on top of his forehead. 'Talk about smoking hot!'
You hadn't noticed, but a smirk grew onto your face as you scanned the man's features.
"Let m-me show ya the ropes"
"Sure"
He spoke fluently, yet, he always stuttered at least once in his sentences. Probably because you were a new person to appear in his life. An attractive one to say the least.
He began showing you where everything is. You had a fond memory so it wasn't too hard to recollect everything. You took one whole circle around the Gift Shop until you came back to the counter.
"So? Y-you think you're good to go?"
You meddled with your hands as you were stuck on one thing. The stupid cash register. That's the one thing that you struggled with the most.
"I-I um... Could you p-possibly.."
Why was this so damn hard? You were usually so good at speaking your mind and finding words without thinking about it. For some reason, it was so hard to find the words to ask how to use a singular cash register.
You rolled your eyes at yourself. The curly-haired boy didn't seem to take it that way.
"S-Sorry, did I say something wrong?"
A confused look came back to you as you waved your arms around.
"No! of course not, why would you think that?"
He started to fiddle with his thumbs as he couldn't think of something to say. You looked at him for a second to spot a name tag. You quickly read it.
"Steven"
Your right hand covered your mouth from the sudden outburst. 'I didn't mean to say that out loud!'. Steven looked at you with his cheeks turning a dark red. His eyes were wide as his mouth was partly open.
"How-"
"Your name tag! Don't worry I'm not a stalker!"
You both laughed a bit in relief. This was getting a little awkward. You sure as hell didn't want Donna to come back and yell at the two of you for not getting your work done.
"Just- could you help me with the register?"
Steven's eyes looked joyous. It was as if they were sparkling.
"M-my help?!"
He was pretty joyful. He looked like a puppy as he led you towards the back of the counter.
"Cute"
You whispered as you followed. He looked at you but went right back to the cashier with a bright smile on his face. Then he began to show you how it works and yada yada.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
The shift was almost over. You should've been grateful, but you weren't. You felt this pain in your chest as you began to close off the shop. 'What's wrong with me?'
You've never felt this, it didn't feel right. Your face looked disgusted as you turned around back to Steven, who had just finished putting away the plushies that were on the floor.
His face looked gentle as he strolled over to you.
"Are y-you alright?"
Your face fell back into a calm smile as you spoke to the nervous boy.
"I'm quite alright, you?"
"Feelin like a ray of sunshine"
He gave you a warm smile. You both chuckled as you left the shop to finally close off your nights.
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
You said as you held the back of your neck with your hand. Steven put his gaze on you, it was as if he was staring at you lovingly. 'As If!'
"Can't wait.."
He darted his eyes towards the ground as you both walked out of the museum. You were going to say goodbye until you noticed something. Steven had been walking the same way as you towards your bus stop.
"Uh, Steven?"
His face jolted up to look at you once again
"O-oh, hello"
"Do you take this bus too?"
His face froze as he looked at the bus stop. It sure was his bus stop. His head turned towards you and then his eyes did.
"I guess it is"
His smile never faded as you both waited for the bus. You did eventually get on it, together. Steven was kind enough to pay for you. You reassured him that he didn't need to. He shrugged it off saying that he owes you.
"Owe me for what?"
"F-For being so kind"
His smile just somehow grew larger and brighter. He sure was optimistic. You ran a hand through your hair as you looked out the window for a second. It was almost time for you to get off.
Butterflies formed in your stomach. The butterflies seemed to be a good and bad feeling. They came from Steven's compliment but also came from the fact you were going to leave someone who made you happy.
Your stop became closer and you sighed.
Steven's face grew concerned. He didn't say anything but he did glance at you from time and time.
You got up from your seat and waved goodbye.
"Now I will see you tomorrow"
A loving smile formed on your face as you looked at the curly-haired boy one more time. He smiled back. You could hear your heart pound as he said his next words. It was the cutest thing he said all day.
"Laters Gators"
A/N: Wasn't too bad, yeah? I might post the second chapter. Idk, we shall see... Hope you enjoyed my awful writing <3
[Moon knight, you better have a season 2!!!]
The crocodile lady is finally Outta her coffin, in technical terms- Goddess Ammit was finally released from her usabti (what happened then shall wait).
Layla politely saying fuck off to khonshu and his tricks. The loveliness of the moment- "the manipulative twat gets told off".
I don't have words for this scene. Marc was finally having his moment, his confession. He manifested the quiet he always wanted but he threw it away without a care just to save Steven, just to have him back.
This was one of the funniest parts in the episode. "Manipulative twat gets told off again"- he literally grumbled at having to deal with Steven! And then they do their little name-game. 'Siply old bird' and 'little worm', of course it's sarcasm from both sides but fuck that- pet names are pet names.
May calamawy!!!!! Mama ate it!!! The way she switched between Taweret and herself- bent in pain) oh man!! She's BRILLIANT bloody hell!
And the costume!! Fire!! Taweret and Layla gonna end up besties!
That little smirk Layla gave to Marc like - "I'm saving your ass again, by the way in a costume this time" and the "oh, baby" Marc said and hugged her. Holy shit, therapy really did wonders on my boy, finally talking without restraints. Notice how the first thing Marc does is check up on her and then Steven out like "holy shit babe, what IS THAT?!" . Because of course Steven knows Layla can kick ass.
Steven fought!!! And the little dust off. Boy, his confidence literally had me out of my seat the whole time.
"Are you an Egyptian superhero?"
"Yes"
Hoy shit! The world finally has an Egyptian superhero, go Layla go. The pride in her voice though🔪
Not the knife 🤍
The Spanish killer's back in the league. And this time Jake's literally there. And is that khonshu in a fucking suit? They literally are like "jakey got a cabbie so we go take a trip to loony bin, let me wear my panty....no pants, yes pants."
By the way, Jake has a fucking temper and his first response to almost any stimuli has been to kill and escape so far..maybe he's doing this to protect Marc and Steven from khonshu and his horrors?
Poor man, the literal theme of this episode was "confuse TF out of Marc", "make Marc cry", "make Marc cry some more", "why TF is Marc not crying yet again?", "If you won't, then I'll make Marc cry" and "because Marc just has to cry".
His whole story and trauma of it broken down and presented. It was a crucial episode.
I like the idea that both the identities were acknowledged as seperate conscious in the afterlife, like even the goddess was entirely confused about the whole alter business because humans have literally managed to advance almost all shit's to next level of course.
The fact that both Marc and Steven dutifully ignored the last coffin (aka Jake the cabbie, really just a baby) and so the scales never truly balanced and only balanced after Steven died? Like Marc just saw Steven die and the goddess is like "ohh, the scales balanced?". I was heartbroken to see Steven gone. So will be Layla.
Marc with his hands on his waist and literally stating flatly, "Bitch, we mental. Why else?"
The happiness that man felt about being dead rather than crazy won my heart, of course Marc- priorities. But still, to a man who's been broken in terms of mental space almost his whole life- that must have been to precious of clarity. His brother's death for which he blamed himself, his mother's hate, her violent abuse- both mental and physical, his trauma serving in military (from where he got discharged due to him often escaping into his fugue state- his mental disorder, the chaos causing him to be a liability for military), then as a mercenary (because that's apparently the only job he could get with what skills he had), then almost dying- like he literally was going to shoot himself to end the pain. Then killing in the name of protecting and delivering justice. Trauma, trauma, trauma.
And the way Marc believed that he chose his life as khonshu's avatar because he couldn't live like anything else but a killer- because that is what he always was (probably thinking of his brother, oh god).
Steven finally understood though that khonshu had manipulated Marc from the beginning.
Also, I think Jake knows of both Marc and Steven because he could kill the bitches who'd bother them, possibly because he knew of Marc's skills, like Steven could do shit when he realised he was Marc in a way, atleast with the physical abilities.
Moon knight episode 4 [AHHHHHHHH!!!]
Oh, this scene right here! Marc being a protective husband and being jealous as fuck and threatened by his own alter about his wife.
"Are you in love with my wife?!"
And then the beautiful intimidating threat.
"I'll throw us off a cliff!!!"
And then despite the clear threat baby Steven goes and kisses Layla after telling her that Marc does care for her and isn't the grandest of assholes. This sweet bastard. Then of course, Marc exhibits his skill of how to be a TWAT.👇
By making Steven punch himself while he was still sporting a goofy as hell smile over his kiss with Layla. 👀This shit was the funniest part to me in this episode.🤣
Here, how Steven comforts Layla about her father and how she beams again at Steven for making her feel better.
Layla and Steven had amazing interactions throught the episode. The part where Steven went nerdy mode and explaining the Eye of Horus and relevancy of other senses to gods and all and Layla looked slyly at Steven, impressed of course. Almost like she found a nerdy best friend, awwww! And the part where Steven was ranting and then realised how quiet Layla was being and straight up went like....👇
Although I did feel very bad in this scene for Marc when Layla confronted him. I mean when the whole story came to light of how he almost died saving her father and he'd have died if khonshu hadn't chosen him to be his avatar.
Ofcourse, the tomb priest zombie.
"What the bloody hell's a Heka?"
Well, Steven. You killed one.
I cracked up at his anxiety, politely of course. He KILLED a fucking Egyptian mummy or shit and he's never done shit like this before. He's both horrified and amazed at hell at his actions and his luck. Probably thinking, "How the hell I even did that?!", meanwhile chanting, "I squished it. I squished it."
This scene was bloody funny. At first they both literally encounter a fucking hippo dressed as a Pharaoh? And then it speaks in the most fucking unexpected voice- of a female?! And these two are suddenly screaming because they definitely DID NOT EXPECT THIS and so it's SOMEHOW SEEMING MORE SCARY. Oscar Issac has mastered the screaming scenes LOL. And also the difference in both of their hand movements while they scream? Steven has a defensive pose like "Fuck, don't come at me?!". Meanwhile Marc is like, "Bitch what?!!"
And the part where they find a third coffin? But ignore it? Baby Jake?!!
And also the concept they used that Alexander the great was the last Avatar of Ammit. And how they turned the concept of his lost tomb to an awesome part of the episode.
Everything was bloody awesome!
Me talking to the small part of my brain that is me but wants to do something I know will end up bad just so when it does end up bad I don't need to blame myself✌️👇-
Before anything else, I am dead set on talking about the character development or say the bond development between Steven and khonshu, from both sides.
From "the stupid pigeon" to finally a respectful khonshu. And from "you fool" and "worm" to finally Steven. Gotta say, they've worked hard enough.
The scene where Oscar Issac transformed from Marc to Steven in front of the screen for the first time, in complete concious and view to the viewers. IT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT. HE'S AMAZING.
The visual motion was....amazing. Oscar Issac is so winning the series💫
Then we come to the part of how we finally have a third alter in the picture. But then, we always had him. Remeber the scene from the first episode where Steven suddenly went off and then returned to his body holding a scarab in a bloody fist with people and bloodshed all around.
We've seen in this episode how Marc actually fights and straight up killing is not his style obviously so, oh boy, who dat at the door peekin' ? I feel like Marc's the real one, right so. Maybe Steven is the alter that let's Marc live a normal life he couldn't being a mercenary and the alter 3 is the bloody-thirstier alter that does things too gruesome to Marc's liking. And, and, and where was the baby alter 3 going- riding like that to the airport? Besides that, it's an alter that obviously has no mercenary knowledge like Marc (except for the killing part- which is shinier than Marc) because he didn't know any Arabic (like Marc does for his travel and 'MI6 bonkers' stuff) as the driver accused him that he was being a foreigner who didn't know Arabic.
And the pain on Marc's face. When he saw the kid cut off his scarf and die. Trauma list keeps gettin' longer, eh?
He's devastated. I mean even in the beginning when he first started on the roof with the fight. He hesitated right before he slapped the kid to the side instead of a proper punch when he realised he was fighting off just a kid. And then, that very kid is dead and of course he believes it's all his fault, which it is but not entirely, technically it's all harrow- for brainwashing people like that.
Oh I probably will write again about episode 3.... These are just the "hit me right as I watched" ones.
This scene right here is much more than Steven sitting in despair. It's literally the heartbreak on his face after a fight. The way the mirror is broken it seems it was punched way too many times in anger. Clearly, the baby Bois have been fighting and arguing. Steven is in pain because of his new reality and the possibility of Marc hurting someone meanwhile Marc is in agony over his role in stopping the "evil madman" and protecting both Steven and Layla from konshu.
The way Marc was waiting with a proud daddy smirk on his face, waiting for Steven so that he can tell him first what a good punch he landed and then go for negotiating surrender of his body.
The brilliant way this scene was put together. Brilliantly acted, shot and edited. And holy shit, the eyes on Oscar Issac! This is absolute gem!
Steven is going to be in shock for a long time for this one! The way he was shocked seeing the divorce papers?
"I would never divorce you."
Or the part where he without hesitation stated.
"You seem really lovely. On the other hand, this Marc? He sounds like a twit, right?"
He's is so precious given the way he talks, oh I'm swooning please!
Covered in sweat, nursing whiskey, broken glass, thrown pillows, messy sheets- poor Marc is a literal mess. So much to protect and fight for, so much to live through especially his own demons and nightmares. He clearly needs a good sleep, a little rest. The way he's looking in the mirror and then turning to take a gulp from his bottle, there's no doubt they did have a bad argument. He's as much of a mess Steven is , maybe more so, he just likes to use knives to express it.
this is exactly what i was thinking during the entirety of thunderbolts!!!
I wanna see Steven Grant and Bob interact 🙏
Permanently suck in my brain
Real random Moonknight art because I have nothing better to do :]
maybe I'll finish this
