(updated 12/20/24!)
Part 4! This goes through to the end of what's available in-game as of Version 3.0.1.
This is also where it officially switches from the Katayama Arc to the Akashi Arc, though it's all considered Chapter 3.
The next day, the group reconvenes on the roof and recaps that their next target is Akashi's Treasure, within his and Katayama's Composite Palace. Shadow Akashi had previously been parasitizing Shadow Katayama, but they were able to rescue Shadow Katayama by getting her to return to her real-world self.
However, Ruferu clarifies that because they weren't able to steal her Treasure yet, she hasn't had a full change of heart yet, either. But she's no longer in danger, and her desires won't distort further. Shun mentions that her suspension from school is still active, and he's worried about her. Motoha also worries that the Treasure will disappear since they couldn't steal it, but Ruferu reassures her that, while normally a Treasure will only manifest for about a day after the Shadow is warned, Shadow Katayama wanted them to take the Treasure, meaning she had a desire to be changed. In other words, he believes that as long as Katayama has a desire for her Treasure to be stolen, it'll stay manifested within the Palace.
Shun says he'd feel better if they could check for themselves whether it's still there, but the Palace is on lockdown. Ruferu adds that they've searched everywhere they're aware of so far without finding a hint of anything, so Akashi's Treasure must be somewhere new, but they'll still need to open the dam back up to get anywhere deeper in the Palace. Riko brings up that a new "power source" will reopen the dam, which Ruferu confirms, but Shun points out that'd mean Akashi finding a new victim to exploit. Wonder stresses they can't allow another victim, and Riko agrees, saying she's come up with a victimless plan: they just need to trick Akashi into thinking he has a power source.
Motoha doesn't quite understand, so Riko rephrases, they don't have to actually let him take advantage of someone else, they just need him to think he's doing so. Shun says he still doesn't really get it, but asks how does she plan to do it, and Motoha asks who she plans to use for it. Riko responds that she'll do it herself, with no hesitation. Everyone reacts with alarm, and Riko explains that it's the only way to avoid someone being hurt.
Wonder dislikes this idea ("Then let me be the bait" or "Too dangerous" as the response options), but Riko only thanks him for his concern, emphasizing that she's the best candidate for this. Akashi currently thinks she's on his side, so if she betrays him, he'd need to work to further control her. Motoha still doesn't like this, but Riko's unfazed, even smiling as she says she won't really become his power source, they're just going to trick him into thinking that. Ruferu points out that Akashi is cunning- how does she plan to accomplish this?
Riko agrees that she's heard about his past and knows how dangerous he can be, which is why she plans to explain everything to them as they go, to ensure nothing goes wrong. Motoha double-checks that she's not going to take this on alone, and Riko assures her that she's not going to force herself anymore, fully intending to rely on them as her trustworthy companions as necessary, and hoping they do the same for her. Wonder agrees, then Cattle (expressing some concern still) and Shun (reminding her to keep her word and not try to be brave here).
Suddenly changing the subject (and apologizing for doing so), Riko abruptly asks Shun if he only ever eats instant ramen, and if he's considered proper nutritional balance. Shun is slightly thrown-off, but clarifies he only eats instant ramen for lunch, and has proper meals at home. He admits that he just likes eating instant ramen, but it's also a kind of market research. This confuses Riko, so he explains that he keeps up with what kinds of instant ramen are available, and checks out any new flavors that come out, even if instant ramen is totally different from the kind in restaurants. Motoha adds that Shun wants to open a ramen shop in the future, and his ramen is super delicious. Shun humbly thanks her for the compliment, and Riko apologizes for misunderstanding his planning for the future.
Shun tells her she doesn't need to apologize, and Riko offhandedly mentions she's never been to a ramen restaurant. Shun and Motoha react with shock and dismay respectively, which makes Riko a bit sheepish, and she quickly explains that she doesn't often go out to eat with her family, and wouldn't just go to a restaurant alone. Motoha, still sounding a bit frantic, says she goes alone all the time. Calming down a bit, she then recalls that Riko never ate ramen with them back in their Little League days, either. She announces they'll all go together after school today, then! Riko starts to say this is too sudden, but Motoha tells her there's no time like the present, and warns everyone not to make any plans for after school.
Ruferu thinks it's a good idea, though he won't really be able to participate, and Motoha promises to get him some pork and eggs, to his delight. Shun suggests they head to Ashouken, so they can ask Masa if he has any news about Katayama. Riko decides she would actually like to go, if there's an acquaintance of Katayama's working there. Motoha declares it decided, and cheers.
Motoha's surprised at how busy Ashouken is when they arrive, even though it's barely evening. Shun proudly tells them business has basically recovered now that Miyazawa's gone, with people praising the return of the ramen's original flavor, happy to see this prove that people really do want genuinely delicious food. He reflects that if they'd never stopped Miyazawa, he wouldn't have gotten to see this, and thanks the Phantom Thieves again.
Feeling that was a bit too sentimental, he quickly asks Riko what she's planning to get, and recommends the shoyu ramen. Motoha then says her own recommendation is getting every topping, and half a portion of rice with it. Riko is surprised to hear she'd want to eat a bunch of rice even after finishing her ramen, looking fond as she says that's a bit too much. Motoha gasps, and Shun says Riko's opinion is too normal. Riko asks Wonder what his recommendation is, with the options being "Simply order shoyu ramen", "Add an egg", and "Every topping with a half portion of rice"; if you pick the egg, Motoha laughs that Wonder's tastes are similar to Ruferu's. Riko decides that if it's just an extra egg, she could probably eat it all.
They begin to eat, with Riko tasting it and making a noise in surprise, commenting on how good it tastes before digging in more enthusiastically. She admits she didn't expect it to be this good, especially the taste of the soup base; she finds it amazing that customers can have food that tastes this high-end for such a good price. Shun's pleased to hear this, and comments that it's no surprise the UMETANE president's daughter has such a good sense of taste.
Motoha announces that the pork slices, soaked in the soup base and then eaten with rice, are also super delicious, and tries to offer Riko a bite. Riko, somewhat alarmed, appreciates the offer but refuses. Motoha keeps pushing, saying just one bite- she'll even feed it to her! Riko is slightly baffled. Wonder, watching this, can comment either "I also want to feed Riko", "I also want Motoha to feed me", or "I want Shun to feed me"; if the latter is picked, Shun coolly replies he's not going to feed him. Motoha (still holding the food out to Riko) exclaims that he's too cold, then wonders if Wonder said that because he wants to imitate what she's doing with Riko. Shun insists he still doesn't want to, so he should just have Ruferu feed him when they get home. Wonder reacts with sweat drops.
After they've finished eating, Motoha comments on how happy she is to be full of delicious food. Riko says it's a pity she's never been here before, and she'd like to come again in the future. However, she still thinks it'd be a bit embarrassing to come alone... Motoha excitedly declares she'd come with her anytime, and she should try fried rice with her ramen next time!
Masa comes over with a plate of eggs and pork, thanking them for coming and saying the plate's a treat for Owl-kun. Ruferu hops out of the bag and says the store manager really understands him, to which Masa (with the tone of one talking to an animal or small child) asks him to keep his voice down so he doesn't draw the attention of the other guests. Ruferu, quieter, very seriously apologizes for his rude and ungentlemanly behavior. He thanks Masa for the food, then eats politely.
As he does so, Shun thanks Masa for going to the trouble of making food just for their owl, and Riko thanks him for the extremely delicious meal. Masa thanks her for coming to their restaurant, and asks if she's another one of Shun's friends, mentioning that Shun brought Motoha here, too, and teasingly saying he didn't expect Shun to have so many beautiful female friends. Shun says it's not whatever he's thinking, and she's his senpai. Masa considers this, and asks if she's Wonder's girlfriend instead, then. The camera pans a bit dramatically to Riko reacting with surprise, then Wonder doing the same, and the player can answer either "That's right", "No", or "My lover is Ruferu".
If the latter is chosen, Ruferu asks what he's talking about, flustered, while Masa laughs, saying it turns out his pet is his lover, and that's why he carries it around in his bag all day. He promises that Wonder can bring him to Ashouken any time, and he'll give him some pork and eggs for free. Shun, with an awkward face, comments that he discovered a while ago that Wonder sometimes likes to "make jokes and act stupid". Ruferu flatly says he's glad it was just a joke, but he almost choked on a piece of egg.
Riko clears her throat, then introduces herself to Masa, mentioning that she's heard he also knows Katayama, and she was in Katayama's class as a first-year. Shun asks if Masa's heard anything from Katayama recently, since she's still under suspension. Masa starts out by saying he heard someone posted on Magatsushin about the "Tyrannical Teacher". Everyone reacts with surprise, and Motoha quickly explains that that's all nonsense, and Katayama was just disciplining some troublemaking students. Masa laughs, saying that having some students get mad at her and post bad things about her on the internet is totally "Kumi-chan's" style; a passionate teacher like her attracts attention, and it's easy to fall into extremes of being either loved or hated.
He then admits that she seems energetic still, and actually just had ramen at Ashouken yesterday, where she mentioned the suspension. She seemed a little haggard, but ordered extra noodles, so she's fine. Shun is clearly relieved to hear this. Masa adds that she said "There are still a few students who believe in me. For them, I can't give up", as well as "I want to start over and become a better teacher", seeming very motivated. Motoha also reacts with relief, and Riko claps her hands together. Masa then lightly tacks on that she said she's using the suspension period to prepare lots of quizzes, to Motoha's alarm. Shun reacts similarly, muttering that that's Katayama for you. Still, Riko is glad to hear Katayama is doing well, and Wonder nods.
Masa then asks around when Katayama was submitted to Magatsushin as a phantom. He says he tried to look for the post, but couldn't find it, and wonders if it got buried. Riko is surprised to hear this, but Shun says it's fine, there was no need for anyone to watch it anyway. Masa explains that he was just curious because it was a post about someone he knows, bringing the legend of âLightning Legs Katayamaâ back into the world! Shun mutters that no one needs that legend.
As they leave Ashouken, a man walks by the camera conspicuously.
They stop outside, and Motoha again expresses relief at hearing some good news about Katayama, quizzes aside. Shun agrees, but he's still a bit concerned about Masa saying she looked "haggard"; Ruferu doesn't seem too worried, however, as her Shadow was under a lot of stress from Akashi, and recovery will take some time. Plus, unfortunately, as long as the Palace still stands, it'll still have a bit of an effect on her.
Motoha notices Riko looking at her phone, and asks what she's doing. Riko responds that she's checking Magatsushin, since Masa said he couldn't find the Tyrannical Teacher post, and sure enough, no one's talking about it, and the single post about it ended up getting buried. The Tyrannical Teacher was never officially certified as a phantom. Shun says that's a good thing, but Motoha notes that it still caused a lot of commotion at their school, even if society at large ignored it. Riko agrees- only Kokatsu Academy cared about Katayama being a phantom, which means that if the Phantom Thieves had sent Katayama a proper calling card, they would've given away to the mastermind that the Phantom Thieves are associated with Kokatsu Academy.
The others react with alarm. Ruferu recalls that Kiuchi and Miyazawa were both evildoers in public, and therefore any member of the public could have recognized the threat they posed, but no one knows Katayama is also the Rush Rider, so the assumption would be that the Phantom Thieves were targeting the Tyrannical Teacher, which only people at Kokatsu even cared about. Motoha, hearing all this, is suddenly very glad they didn't send her a calling card.
Shun points out that once they found her Palace, they couldn't exactly ignore her, though, since they don't pick the bad guys here (... not that Katayama's a bad person!). Riko similarly notes that they didn't have a choice in the matter, but still finds this all a bit suspicious. Shun then adds that Akashi is more publicly recognizable as an unscrupulous consultant, so they're at least safe to send him a calling card without worrying too much. Riko agrees; they'll begin her plan tomorrow, to Motoha's concern, and Ruferu asks if she's really okay with doing this. Shun reiterates that they're not going to let Riko sacrifice herself.
Riko very seriously replies that they need to take some risk, or Akashi won't take the bait. And she wants to be able to steal Katayama's Treasure as quickly as possible, so that means starting her plan tomorrow. The screen fades out as she begins to explain what she's going to do.
Elsewhere, Akashi talks on the phone, telling the person on the other end that everything is going well on his end, and it's only a matter of time before they take the bait. A distorted voice asks through the phone if that's really true, which throws Akashi off. The voice clarifies that Akashi's following the plan, but it seems like it's taken a lot of effort this time. Akashi somewhat frantically assures them that that's not true, and everything has been according to his plan. The voice continues that even if the Phantom Thieves don't take the bait in the form of the teacher, it wouldn't matter, as they can still use this incident "as a basis for judgment". However, Akashi should begin preparing the next bait, and thoroughly investigate the entire academy. Otherwise, Akashi himself will be the bait.
Akashi brings a hand up to his face, and tells the voice not to joke like that; he won't let himself be pushed around by others anymore. That's the whole reason he followed the voice's advice and switched careers to be a consultant! The voice replies that as long as everything goes well it's fine, then. Akashi hangs up, then moves his hand to his chest, muttering that everything's going well, but for some reason he feels uneasy.
The next day at school, Wonder, Motoha, and Shun listen through the door as Riko confronts Dean Yamanashi, demanding he end Katayama's suspension (her tone of voice is noticeably more forceful than her usual quiet tone, though she's not over-acting). Yamanashi asks why she's suddenly bringing this up, and Riko responds by asking when her suspension will end, insisting she doesn't believe Katayama did anything wrong. Akashi innocently reminds her she was there when Katayama attacked him, but Riko declares that while Katayama did grab him by the collar, it was after Akashi himself provoked her into doing so. The other teachers react with surprise.
Riko reiterates that, in her opinion from having seen the incident, Katayama's punishment was too harsh. The teachers begin to rethink their initial reactions to the suspension, as Yamanashi and Akashi seem a bit nervous. Yamanashi insists Katayama's behavior was inappropriate, checking with Akashi, who agrees that Katayama was also prohibited from any contact with students outside of class at the time. She visited Riko outside of class, which is why Akashi reprimanded her, and that's what "provoked" her. Riko coolly replies that Katayama only came to talk to her because she was worried about Riko's workload; does that mean they're punishing Katayama for her kindness?
Riko then addresses the other teachers directly, asking them if they really think this is the way things should be, with teachers too scared to even try to communicate with their students. Is it really reforming their workplace to prevent them from guiding students outside of lectures? This gets through to the other teachers, who bring up how worried they've been about appearing on Magatsushin, and how much Katayama always cared about her students. Yamanashi panics, telling them not to be swayed by a few words from Riko, and puts his foot down about Katayama's punishment being correct.
He then approaches Riko directly, and asks what she's doing; it's not like her to speak against the teachers. Riko repeats "like her", then more loudly asks what "like her" means. Does it mean silently taking on Yamanashi's work for him? Yamanashi makes a nervous noise, and Riko asks again that he reconsider the punishment, before curtly bowing and leaving.
At lunch, back on the rooftop, Motoha very seriously repeats Riko's final words to Yamanashi, then gushes over how cool she was there. Shun asks if it was really okay to challenge Akashi face-to-face, but Riko assures him this is all part of the plan, as they need Akashi to recognize her as an enemy. Ruferu recalls that this is in order to prompt him into targeting her, and Riko nods. As long as she pretends to submit to his efforts to frame her at the right time, she'll end up as the new power source in the Palace. Ruferu clarifies that this will cause the Palace to lower its guard, so they can sneak back in.
Riko explains that at that time, she expects that a cognitive version of herself will appear there as the power source. Since her Shadow has already become her Persona, it's not in danger of being pulled into the Palace and genuinely taken advantage of, the way Shadow Katayama was. Ruferu now understands how her plan is a "victimless" one: Shadow Akashi will think he has a new power source, but won't actually be able to gain any power from a cognition, and Riko won't be in any danger. However, if he realizes he's not actually able to generate power, he might close the Palace again; Riko agrees, warning them this will become a race against time.
Wonder still expresses concern for Riko in the real world, and Shun agrees, saying she should count him in as bait as well. Riko insists that's a bad idea, however, as the mastermind is evidently trying to figure out their identities, and raising a commotion together would be very suspicious, not to mention tipping them off to the fact that they're all friends. Shun doesn't exactly like this answer, but Riko continues that Kiuchi's heart was changed after he targeted Tomoko, and Miyazawa's was after targeting Shun, so although they luckily didn't send Katayama a calling card, there's still a lot of evidence to suggest the Phantom Thieves are from Kokatsu Academy already.
Motoha panics, looking around the rooftop in alarm, but Riko reassures her that the mastermind probably doesn't know their exact identities yet. Still, Katayama having a change of heart will likely confirm the Phantom Thieves are at Kokatsu. After saying this, Riko wonders aloud if Katayama was made into a phantom in the first place just to-- then mutters that she may be overthinking it, but it's a suspicious coincidence. Riko declares that she's going to do some research on how Akashi came to Kokatsu.
The next day, Riko catches up with Wonder on his way to school, and says she didn't delay in looking into Akashi. Wonder can ask if she got some sleep too, to which she replies with a smile that she got plenty of sleep, as this actually didn't take very long. As it turns out, although Yamanashi said Akashi was sent by the school board, it was actually the other way around- Yamanashi recommended Akashi to the school board. Ruferu asks if that means the two knew each other beforehand, and Riko confirms, saying her father met one with of the members of the board, who offhandedly mentioned that they decided to hire a consultant based on the recommendation of the dean.
Wonder comments on Riko's dad's connections, and Riko says she believes her father probably knew about Akashi's reputation since Akashi used to be a corporate consultant. Ruferu is impressed by Riko's ability to get all this information so quickly. Riko admits that she used to avoid talking about anything but work with her father, but after chatting with him for a while, she discovered it really wasn't a big deal, and she'd been restraining herself for no reason. She adds that since he has a lot of connections, she'll have to make use of him more in the future. Wonder can agree, or suggest she take her father out for ramen sometime, to which Riko is slightly surprised, but then laughs and agrees that if it's Ashouken, her father would certainly find it delicious as well.
Bringing the subject back, Ruferu says he didn't expect Yamanashi to have been the one to get Akashi this job, and Riko mentions that this is apparently Akashi's first time working as an educational consultant. Ruferu, confused, brings up that Akashi's supposed to be a well-known consultant. Riko clarifies that he's never worked in education before, and generally, consultants work within companies. Companies would also offer a higher salary; Kokatsu isn't paying Akashi nearly as much. So, with all that, she thinks it's particularly strange that Yamanashi recommended a consultant with little relevant experience in the education industry. Ruferu agrees, it's odd to give up familiarity and stability to suddenly work in education. Wonder can suggest that maybe he wanted to sneak into Kokatsu, or perhaps he's the mastermind, or perhaps Yamanashi is the mastermind; if the former is chosen (or maybe regardless of answer), Riko says she's not sure, but it's possible the mastermind is right in front of them, so they'll need to be extra careful.
At the end of what appears to be an inter-club meeting at school, Riko says she has one more topic to discuss. She stands up, and says she's passed out to everyone copies of some complaints the Disciplinary Committee recently received. She also hands one to Yamanashi, who is alarmed to see its contents. There's murmuring in the crowd as everyone reads the papers, and Yamanashi demands to know what's the meaning of this.
Riko turns to address everyone, and says she can't verify whether the claims made here are true, but according to this, Akashi previously worked as a corporate consultant, and during that time, forced employees to be suspended or resign, and psychologically tormented them, in some cases leading to suicide. Yamanashi insists that's all nonsense, and Riko responds that whether or not it's just a rumor, as a member of the Disciplinary Committee, since they received this complaint letter, she would like to ask Akashi about it, and turn this into a public matter at the next student assembly based on his answer.
Yamanashi drops the paper and stands up, forbidding her from making this public, and telling her she needs to discuss this sort of thing with him first. Riko replies that, with all due respect, this was a complaint submitted by a student to the Disciplinary Committee, and the current rule is that students are supposed to resolve students' problems themselves, rather than interacting with teachers. Yamanashi tells her to have more discretion, and the other students react to this. Still floundering a bit, Yamanashi again insists this is just slander against Akashi, and snatches the paper out of one of the other student's hands before telling everyone these copies will be destroyed, and no one is allowed to talk about this matter. He then frantically dismisses the meeting.
Later, Yamanashi approaches Akashi, asking him if what's written in the complaint is true. Akashi assures him it's not, then asks who wrote it, somewhat forcefully. Yamanashi explains that apparently the Disciplinary Committee received it, and Riko planned to raise it as an issue. Akashi mutters, "Tanemura? Her again?", then takes a final drag of his cigarette, tosses it, and turns to face Yamanashi, asking him about how he'd said she was an obedient student, but now she seems to be targeting him. Yamanashi laughs nervously, and admits he doesn't know.
Akashi then asks if he at least took care of the matter, even if it was just baseless rumors, and reminds Yamanashi that, as the one who recommended Akashi to the school board, it'd reflect poorly on him if those rumors got out. Taking on a threatening lilt, he adds that, if this gets him fired, he can't guarantee he won't let something slip... Yamanashi panics, and assures him that he forbid the students from spreading the rumors. Akashi thanks him, and somewhat mockingly says he's counting on him. Akashi's phone then begins to ring, and Akashi shoos Yamanashi out of the smoking area.
Picking up the phone, Akashi immediately apologizes for keeping the person on the other end waiting, and asks if something happened today. The same distorted voice from before responds "Crooked Consultant A", to Akashi's confusion. The voice explains that Akashi was just submitted to Magatsushin, and he should see it for himself. Akashi taps at his phone, then reacts with surprise, seeing the complaint letter was photographed and posted to Magatsushin. Becoming angry, he wonders if the students uploaded this. The voice, however, reminds him that all of this information has been posted anonymously on message boards before, so this isn't much of a surprise. Akashi starts to protest, and the voice notes that it sounds like things suddenly aren't going so well.
Frustrated, Akashi instead says that this was just a prank by a student, and he only lost his temper a bit. He's already arranged for these rumors to be put to rest, so everything's under control. The voice accepts this, and says it'll deal with Magatsushin, adding that even if Akashi becomes their target, it'll still be evidence towards the Phantom Thieves; after all, he's making enemies of everyone there. Akashi winces. However, the voice warns him to be careful, and not let himself have a change of heart. Akashi assures the voice that's impossible, and he's already preparing his next bait, which will hook the Phantom Thieves for sure.
After school, Ruferu spots Riko down the hall as he and Wonder are leaving, and suggests they check in with her. Riko greets them, and assures them that with her actions, Akashi's focus should have turned towards her, and he'll likely take action against her soon. Wonder asks again if she's okay, and Riko says everything's fine, reminding Wonder that Akashi isn't the type to use violence. His approach will either be to slander her or frame her for something, and use that to shape her into a phantom, like with Katayama.
Ruferu points out that that's still a problem, but Riko insists that no matter what people say about her, she won't give in, because she knows there are people who really care about her. Wonder can reply either simply "Yes", or "No matter what, we're by your side", and she thanks him. Ruferu almost complains about how determined and reliable she is, but reminds her not to show off, and to keep the rest of them updated on everything. Riko agrees that of course she will, and says she'll see them tomorrow.
The next day, as Wonder walks into class, he hears some students gossiping, something about Riko and the dean. Motoha immediately asks him if he saw Magatsushin today, and when Wonder shakes his head, shows him and Ruferu a post on her phone. The post says "the Dean of Academic Affairs at K Academy colluded with the company president's daughter", and "the two were in the student guidance room for a long time, where someone saw them exchanging documents. The president's daughter has excellent grades and a good reputation in the academy, but she uses money to buy all this from the dean." Motoha then points out the photo attached, which has blurred faces, but can still be recognized as Riko and Yamanashi, and adds that the idea of Riko buying her grades is so obviously made up that she was dumbfounded.
At that moment, their phones buzz, with a message in the PT group chat from Riko, asking if they've seen Magatsushin. Motoha confirms, and Riko says that although she expected to be targeted, she thinks they could've come up with something better, as she hasn't fallen to the point where she needs to buy her grades. Still, she admits it did make her a bit uncomfortable, and wonders if she's experiencing a slight deprivation of desires. She speculates that Akashi's goal in posting things like this is to contribute to a physical and mental exhaustion, then says she's being called to the teachers' office, and she'll update them after.
Putting their phones away, Motoha mutters that she's still worried about Riko, and suggests they head to the teachers' office as well, to listen in again.
In the office, Yamanashi is, of course, denying all of the rumors. Ms. Taniyama brings up that they often see the two of them together, and Yamanashi insists that he's just having her help with academic work, asking Akashi to back him up. To Yamanashi's dismay, however, Akashi says that's while his claim is correct, it did look like Yamanashi was taking advantage of her with the work.
At this moment, Riko enters, and Yamanashi asks her to explain the situation to everyone, claiming he's never cared about money, and never touched her grades. Riko confirms that this is true, and her grades have never even needed that kind of manipulation. Mr. Shimonuma relents, admitting that Riko's always very serious about her schoolwork, and it's pretty obvious to anyone looking. Ms. Taniyama then asks if they really are together so often because they're doing academic work, and Mr. Endo somewhat more seriously asks her why there's so much work for her to help with, and requesting she explain how she's been helping in detail.
Riko thinks for a moment, then replies that, for example, she helps organize the paperwork that gets submitted to the Education Committee. The teachers, plus Yamanashi and Akashi, all react with shock. Riko continues that she also helped put together the information Akashi requested when he first arrived, and works with other information such as the teachers' attendance sheets, evaluation sheets, and data about the school's income and expenditures on the computer.
Mr. Endo turns to Yamanashi, asking why he's trusting students with things like evaluation forms. Riko, with a surprised face, replies that she thought the teachers must have all known about it. More angrily, Mr. Shimonuma responds that this is way beyond what should be left to students. Yamanashi flounders, and starts to say that's not- Well, but Tanemura-kun is just so good at it- it's for her future! It's good experience for her future career! Riko apologizes, telling everyone she believed it was for that as well, and it didn't occur to her it might be confidential information she shouldn't have. Ms. Taniyama says she has nothing to apologize for. Mr. Endo agrees that she's not the one in the wrong here, but the dean, however...
Yamanashi desperately points out that Akashi, the educational consultant, went along with all this, turning around to face Akashi. Akashi, unfazed, says that he told Yamanashi it was inappropriate to let a student handle those documents, to Yamanashi's dismay. However, he agrees he's also at fault for ultimately going along with it. Changing the subject, he determines that the Magatsushin rumors do seem to be groundless slander, and he'll see what he can do to deal with them. Yamanashi finally smiles, thanking him. Akashi asks him to come with him, so he can hear the full story from him.
After Akashi and Yamanashi leave, the teachers turn to Riko, and Mr. Shimonuma is the first to ask Riko again if the Magatsushin rumors really were just empty slander, which Riko confirms. Mr. Endo says Riko's a very good student, so he had trouble believing any of it anyway, but... Ms. Taniyama finishes, the rumors will probably still circulate for a while now. Riko assures them she's mentally prepared, and knows she didn't actually do anything wrong. She still has people who care about and believe in her; that's what Ms. Katayama taught her.
Ms. Taniyama reacts to Katayama's name, and Riko explains that Katayama scolded her when she found out about Riko's blind obedience to Yamanashi with all the work he was giving her. She adds that she regrets not listening to Katayama sooner, as maybe things wouldn't have gone the way they did. Ms. Taniyama says that they didn't even notice, but Ms. Katayama really does care about her students... maybe she always looks anxious out of concern for them. It's only now that she appreciates how much Katayama was doing for the students. Mr. Endo agrees, admitting that he became a teacher to help guide students down the right path, but lately he's just been avoiding them. Mr. Shimonuma mutters that he hopes Katayama can come back soon, and Riko perks up, agreeing immediately.
In another office, Yamanashi panics, in disbelief that someone submitted him to Magatsushin and asking Akashi what to do. Akashi coolly tells him to calm down, because none of it's true, right? So it won't be an issue. Yamanashi, however, gives a bit of a noncommittal answer, and Akashi smiles, saying there must be some truth to the article after all. Yamanashi panics, telling him to keep his voice down. With a laugh, Akashi adds it would be bad if anyone followed the clues and uncovers anything, and Yamanashi frantically asks him what to do again.
Akashi's smile vanishes, and he replies that it seems like there's more going on than he was aware of. A much more malicious grin appears on his face, and he suggests Yamanashi tell him everything, so he can better help fix this. Yamanashi hesitates, then something occurs to him, and he clarifies with Akashi that all the things he's heard about from when Akashi was a corporate consultant are just rumors, right? Akashi doesn't react well, and Yamanashi quickly explains he just wants to be sure. Akashi flatly responds that he sees Yamanashi's worried he'll use his secrets to force him to get suspended, or resign, or even commit suicide, then grins threateningly again and says that if he wanted that to happen, it would've been Yamanashi that was suspended earlier, not Katayama.
Yamanashi laughs with him, looking relieved but still sounding a bit nervous. Now smiling in a way that looks more friendly, Akashi assures he won't betray him, he just wants to help. So believe in him, okay? Yamanashi nods, saying he does, so please help!
The camera pans to reveal Ruferu was watching this scene through the window. He flies away.
On the rooftop, Ruferu relays this information to the rest of the group. Riko notes that Akashi has Yamanashi completely under his thumb, and Motoha adds that Yamanashi sounds kind of pitiful, also being targeted by Akashi. Riko realizes that, if that's correct, it's actually bad: she was supposed to be the bait, but if things are going like this, then Yamanashi might be Akashi's new "power source" instead.
The others react with surprise, and Ruferu clarifies this means Yamanashi's actual Shadow would be in danger, not just a cognition of Riko. Motoha, slightly frustrated, says she doesn't really like Yamanashi, but based on what Akashi said, it seems like there's something bigger going on, and they can't just ignore it if he becomes a victim. Wonder suggests they head to the Palace, and Ruferu agrees, as something must have changed there by now, perhaps even the lockdown being lifted. Shun says they'll head in after school, whenever Wonder's ready.
Entering the Palace, they discover the weather has changed, now looking foggy rather than stormy. Soy thinks that means there might really be a new power source.
And, sure enough, they're able to reenter the power plant, finding a new, mouse wheel-like contraption with Yamanashi's Shadow running inside, just outside the entrance to the area where they fought Shadow Katayama. He makes panicked, slightly pathetic noises as he runs, while nearby shadows watch and taunt him, saying he won't generate any energy like this, and he needs to have greater desires. They warn him Akashi will abandon him if he doesn't, and Shadow Yamanashi panics further.
From where the Phantom Thieves are watching, Closer comments that he seems really pitiful, while Cattle confirms this is his actual Shadow, not just a cognition. However, his desires likely aren't very distorted, explaining why he looks almost identical to his real world self. As if to confirm this, Shadow Yamanashi whimpers that he wants to keep his job until retirement, with a full pension, and he doesn't want a divorce. Cattle identifies these desires as being a part of his own self-preservation; that is, as Closer clarifies, the most basic desire that anyone has, but also a dangerous one to allow a Palace ruler to steal.
Shadow Yamanashi then continues, pleading Akashi-sama not to tell his wife or his boss about Yamanashi's gambling addiction, to the Phantom Thieves' surprise. Closer amends that his desire isn't that basic at all, as Shadow Yamanashi lists out forms of gambling, insisting they're nothing to worry about, they're just small risks! He's only funding it with money from students' parents! He then mentions that Akashi caught him doing this, and used it to force Yamanashi to recommend him to the school board, abruptly switching from pleading with Akashi (who, to be clear, isn't even here) to cursing his name.
With this, Yamanashi's connection to Akashi all makes sense to Cattle, and Soy grumbles that while it's okay to gamble your own money, it's not okay to use your position to extort money from parents. Closer says it sounds like bribery- isn't that illegal? Wind points out that all this means Akashi targeted Yamanashi's weakness just to get into Kokatsu, and when Wonder asks if it was all to create a change of heart target/to get to the Phantom Thieves, she finds that likely. Soy wonders why he went after Katayama instead of Yamanashi in the first place, then, and Wind speculates that while Yamanashi was Akashi's initial way into Kokatsu, he also gave Akashi free reign within the school, so he was originally better to keep as a pawn.
Closer mutters that Akashi really is the worst, then says they still can't ignore that Yamanashi's Shadow is in danger, even if it is his own fault, right? Wind agrees; originally the plan was for her to become the new target, but Yamanashi was picked instead. Soy worries that the Palace will go into lockdown if they rescue Shadow Yamanashi now, but Cattle reassures everyone that, given the shadows are currently trying to provoke Shadow Yamanashi into having more desires, they clearly aren't at the point of stealing any of his desires yet, so it shouldn't be affecting his real world self yet. Closer asks if that means it's okay to ignore him, and Cattle agrees that it should be- for now. But if he starts to distort, there'll be a problem. The group agrees to focus on Akashi's Treasure for now.
At that moment, one of the shadows taunting Shadow Yamanashi notices them, and the shadows attack. Afterward, with the shadows gone, they're able to approach Shadow Yamanashi directly.
Shadow Yamanashi immediately addresses them, saying he doesn't know who they are, but he can tell they're pretty skilled. Can they let him out?
The five exchange a look, and Soy asks the others what they're doing now. Shadow Yamanashi takes offense, and haughtily asks if they know who he is- he's the Dean of Student Affairs at Kokatsu Academy! Whatever school they're from, he can help them out: improving their grades, letters of recommendation, even faked test scores, whatever they want. All he needs is some money from their parents. Closer mutters that he's awful, and Soy adds that he offered so casually, he must do this a lot.
Louder, Soy calls back to Shadow Yamanashi that they don't care about that, they're looking for Akashi's Treasure. Shadow Yamanashi is alarmed (or perhaps confused), and Soy elaborates, asking if there's anywhere Akashi goes often, or any forbidden areas. Shadow Yamanashi asks if they're planning to do something to Akashi-sama, and Wind replies, so what if they are? Is he going to report this to Akashi? If he stays quiet, they might come back to rescue him after.
Shadow Yamanashi considers this, making another alarmed noise. Soy points out that if Akashi's using his weakness against him, they're enemies, aren't they? This almost sways Shadow Yamanashi, but then he recalls that Akashi-sama's also helping him deal with the rumors on Magatsushin. Concerned, he adds that he's even taken money from the parents of candidates applying to get into Kokatsu in the first place, and if Akashi finds out about that...!
Closer is shocked he went that far, and Wind mutters that her desire to save Yamanashi at all is gradually fading... Soy doubts that a guy like this should even be working at a school. Closer asks Cattle why Yamanashi wouldn't have a Palace from all this, and Cattle explains that it's a bit complicated, because the parents paying him bribes also benefited from the transaction. It wasn't a one-sided interaction where he stole their desires, so it didn't distort his Shadow. But it's still criminal behavior, so the police can take care of it without their help.
Hearing all this, Wonder declares that they're focusing on Akashi's Treasure first (the two options are a more polite or more blunt way of saying this), and Shadow Yamanashi nervously wonders if they can really beat him. Still, he then points to a door at the back of the room, and explains that Akashi (no longer calling him "Akashi-sama") spends most of his time in the control center of the dam, through that door. Shadow Yamanashi himself wasn't allowed in, and very few of the dam's staff are even permitted. If there's anything important to be found, it'd be there, or even deeper past it.
Perking up, Closer thanks him for the intel, and Soy waves, telling him to do his best here. As they walk away, Shadow Yamanashi panics again, asking if they're really not going to save him, and threatening to sabotage their grades. Wind stops, and without turning back to him, resolutely says they will change Akashi's heart. But, if he can't wait that long, perhaps he should try reflecting on himself, and maybe he'll be able to return to his real world self without their help? Shadow Yamanashi repeats "return to... my real self...?", and Wind leaves with the others.
The door takes them outside the dam, right by one of the pipes spewing water through the actual dam wall itself. Closer notes that the weather hasn't changed, probably because Shadow Yamanashi isn't actually working as a power source right now. Cattle suggests it may also be because Shadow Akashi himself is still active. Soy says they'll just have to beat him then, but Cattle reminds him they still need to secure a route to his Treasure in the first place.
They end up having to essentially scale the dam wall, finding themselves on one of the roads they'd traversed before. However, now that they know they're looking for the dam's control center, Wind recalls the direction it's in. Before long, they reach the entrance and head inside.
Soy immediately notes that it's spacious and bright in here, and very clean- in other words, completely different from the rest of the Palace so far, like someone's taking care of it. Closer thinks the colors are a bit hard on the eyes, especially all the green. Just like Akashi's clothes, it's uncomfortable to look at. Soy starts to agree, then realizes, wait, is this part actually Akashi's Palace? Wind suspects this is the case; at first glance it looks clean and safe, but that impression's only superficial, and it's actually quite dangerous.
Closer asks what dangers Wind thinks they'll find, but Wind admits she has no idea, only that she expects something devious. Akashi's a cunning person, so there are likely to be a lot of traps ahead of them. Cattle agrees, and he and Wonder warn everyone to stay vigilant.
As they explore, they see more workers from Katayama's part of the dam, as well as of course the aggressive shadows associated with Akashi. Some workers allude to "that place", but make it clear that it's some kind of forbidden location that everyone's forbidden from even talking about.
It doesn't take long for them to wander into an area where one of Akashi's workers is standing with one of Katayama's workers, operating some kind of machine. The thieves duck around a corner before they're spotted, and Closer and Soy both comment on how much better they've gotten at hiding and being Phantom Thieves in general (until Cattle warns them to keep their voices down).
We get a look through the window at the machine, with another one of Katayama's workers strapped into it, as one of the workers tells the trapped worker that it's a victim of the dam's demand for energy, but it should be honored to be chosen by Akashi-sama. They'll use this "brainwashing chair" to siphon its emotional energy into the purple tanks next to the chair.
At first, the trapped worker protests, but the other workers only comment that its "anger" emotion has reached its peak, then start the machine. Purple electricity crackles around the trapped worker's head.
Seeing this, Closer announces she can't stand by and watch anymore, and yells at the workers to stop. They turn around, and she says they'll have to go through her if they want to keep hurting people.
After defeating the workers, the Phantom Thieves inspect the machine, Soy muttering that it's crazy they're doing human experimentation here. Wonder agrees, and Closer adds that even if it's the Metaverse, she can't let it go. Cattle suggests they free the trapped worker. Once it's free, it mentions that all it did was try to do a bit of research into "that place". Originally, it was angry that Akashi would do this to it as punishment, but now it doesn't feel anything at all. It's like its anger is gone.
Wind notes that this must be how they're powering the dam at all without Katayama, and Soy is shocked that they're stealing the workers' emotions. Cattle adds that they're even provoking the workers before stealing their emotional energy. Wind says that if they stand idly by, there's no telling what Akashi will do next.
After solving a puzzle in one particular room, a box pops up out of the floor, holding several pairs of smart glasses, with the words "blue period" written on it. Soy decides to try one on, then exclaims in surprise. The others tense, and Cattle asks if it was a trap, complaining that he put the glasses on without any preparation. Soy explains he was surprised, because it looks like there's a movie floating in the air in front of him.
The others relax, and Wind decides to put the glasses on as well, reading out the words, "Kei Akashi - The Glory of the TV Crew Era". Cattle asks if that's what he did before becoming a consultant, and Closer realizes this could be like Kiuchi's Palace, where he showed them scenes from his past. Cattle doesn't think it's quite the same, though, as in Kiuchi's case it was a deliberate trap targeting Closer. In this case, he speculates this was born from Akashi's desires, perhaps to talk about himself, or to glorify the past. Wind points out that regardless of the reason, it seems the glasses will give them a glimpse into Akashi's past, and they might learn something about his connection to the mastermind through them. The other three put glasses on as well.
The video starts, referring to this as "Part 1" of Kei Akashi - The Glory of the TV Crew Era, and Akashi's voice narrates, saying his glorious career began with him working as a director's assistant on a prime-time programming block. TV game show titles are shown in succession. Closer recognizes the first- she watched it in elementary school. She and Soy both recognize the second, sounding fond of it. Wind wonders what it means that Akashi worked on these shows, and Closer agrees that she can't imagine Akashi having worked on such a fun program.
The text changes- "And finally, he made it to the director's seat..."- and a new title, "Exploring Dams Across Japan" pops up. Soy says he's never heard of this one, and Closer explains that it plays on weekday mornings, and she watched it once when she was home sick. It played during a break on the shopping channel, and only lasted about 15 minutes. It covered the history and facilities of whatever dam was featured, and every episode was pretty much the same. Cattle doesn't think it sounds very interesting.
Akashi's narration continues, explaining that his first time as a director was working on this show, but although it's been running for over ten years, it gets very low ratings, and is mainly just a filler show for the programming schedule. The director isn't even allowed to change the format at all.
A scene appears and plays out, with Akashi's silhouette being the one on the left. A younger and more upbeat Akashi calls a wrap on filming, and thanks everyone for their work today. The cameraman (on the right) thanks him for his hard work as well, but lightheartedly comments that they're never going to improve the ratings no matter how hard they try. Akashi says he hit the nail on the head.
The interviewer for the show (the female silhouette in the middle) says her grandma loves this show, and Akashi replies that some people like to put it on while they do housework. But, as long as there are people watching it, he'll do his best to live up to their expectations.
The cameraman comments that Akashi's so hardworking and motivated, he's surprised he got exiled to a show like this that no one cares about. Akashi says "exile" doesn't quite cover it, but he's not even sure what he did wrong. Maybe they're just trying to give him some experience as a director first? The cameraman isn't sure, but he's glad to have Akashi here; he makes the job a breeze, and a great experience.
The interviewer brings up that Akashi submitted a pitch for a new show, right? If they like it, he'll be able to get back to prime time. Akashi confirms- he sent it to his senior for review, and he's pretty confident in his idea. The interviewer agrees it's super good, and she's sure they'll like it. Excited, the cameraman asks Akashi to bring him along with him to prime time, and the interviewer seconds that.
Akashi replies that of course he will, and then a bit more hesitantly, as long as the pitch is accepted. Specifically to the interviewer, still in that hesitant tone, he admits that he'd like her to be his partner in life, too, if she's willing. The interviewer is thrilled, while the cameraman says he feels like a third wheel, but congratulates them. Part one ends there.
The Phantom Thieves take off their glasses, and Closer's surprised that Akashi seemed like a pretty good guy back then. Cattle agrees that both his work and private lives seemed fulfilling, and Akashi himself seemed cheerful. Wonder and Soy wonder what made him change, and Wind points out that it said "see you next time", so there will probably be another part to explain that. They'll just have to keep an eye out as they search for the Treasure.
Nearby, they also pick up a computer chip that looks important.
As they continue on, they encounter devices that mind-control the workers in a more traditional sense, altering their thoughts (for instance, we see some workers about to clock out for the day, who are then hit by the device, and suddenly return to work). While this bothers the Phantom Thieves, they realize they can alter the devices in their favor, to stop shadows from attacking them as they proceed, though it makes them a bit uncomfortable to do so.
Eventually, they find another box of smart glasses, this time with "don't forget" written on it. Soy wonder what that means, but Cattle begins to speculate these flashback videos aren't actually for Akashi to talk about himself or to glorify the past- Wind finishes the thought for him, maybe they're a reminder of what happened to distort his desires in the first place. Closer suggests they put on the glasses and see.
Kei Akashi - The Glory of the TV Crew Era Part 2 begins with another TV show title, this time one called "Youth Explosion! Club Battle Kingdom!". Closer is shocked Akashi worked on this one as well- she loves this show! It's a game show involving competition between different clubs from different schools. Soy agrees, finding some of the event matchups to be particularly interesting. Closer adds that sometimes the host of the show gets excited enough to cry, and it's great to see all the passionate students from different schools. Wind admits she rarely watches TV and isn't familiar with this show, but still finds the premise very interesting.
However, the screen changes, and we see silhouette Akashi (the shoes close to the screen) confronting his senior, saying that Youth Explosion! Club Battle Kingdom! was his idea, so why did the his senior get put in charge of the show? Mockingly, his senior replies that Akashi's already so busy with the dam program, and he has so little experience, it'd be hard for him to manage this show on prime time. Just leave it to the senior, he'll turn this show into something popular!
Akashi starts to protest, but then the female interviewer walks into the room, and approaches Akashi's senior, cutely thanking him for the promotion. His senior replies that it was nothing, and he'll see her for dinner tonight at a hotel if she'd like. She cheerfully agrees, and rests her head on the senior's shoulder as he puts an arm around her.
Akashi is momentarily at a loss for words. The interviewer apologizes lightly, saying she really wanted to go to prime time. But the dam show's a great program, so he should keep doing his best! She waves, and she and the senior walk out of the room together, as Akashi collapses to his knees in disbelief. Part two ends there.
Closer isn't quite sure what to say. Cattle summarizes- Akashi's show and girlfriend were both taken away from him. Soy says he can understand why he fell to his knees. Wind stresses that Akashi's actions in the present day are still unforgivable, but they should look for the next part.
They also pick up another important-looking computer chip.
Further ahead, they reach a hallway that seems to inflict them with some kind of intense headache or even migraine; Closer clutches her head, and Soy says his vision's going blurry. It seems it was either only that spot, or perhaps something they had to push past, though, as they continue onward without looking too affected.
Just past this spot is a room where a bunch of Akashi's workers have gathered, with one extra-strong one in the center whipping one of Katayama's workers. Soy asks if they're planning something, but Wind says this feels more like a trial. Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the Katayama worker is sitting with its wrists bound, while the strong Akashi worker says it entered "that place" without permission, and stole some important computer chips.
The Katayama worker says nothing, and the Akashi worker takes this as an admission of guilt, so it will be punished. The workers watching from the sides all cheer "Punishment! Punishment!". Soy agrees Wind was right, and worries about the worker about to be punished. Cattle wonders if the machines and red light around it- which bear a resemblance to the mind control devices they've seen before- might be preventing the worker from responding. Wind points out that it also said this worker entered "that place", so if they save it, it might be able to direct them there. They decide to shut off the machines and save the worker.
After shutting off the machines, the red light glitches and disappears, and the strong Akashi worker seems to vanish as well, leaving only the Katayama worker in the center of the room. It thanks them, and, seeing they're also working against Akashi, offers to help. Wind asks about "that place", and it explains that term refers to the core monitoring room, not far from here. It then says it wants to show them something, and raises the final box of smart glasses out of the floor. Before they put on the glasses, it says it needs to get out of here before it gets caught again, and leaves.
Kei Akashi - The Glory of the TV Crew Era Final Part plays. Akashi is still on the ground, and the cameraman approaches him, asking if it's really true he was embezzling production funds. Akashi stands up, and insists he would never, to which the cameraman replies that "she" was just lying after all, then. Akashi asks who "she" is, and the cameraman clarifies it's the woman Akashi had proposed to (the interviewer). She's been stuck to their senior like glue lately, and constantly spreads rumors about Akashi.
Akashi is angry to hear this, and the cameraman continues that she probably thinks it'd be bad for her if her ex were ever to make it into the spotlight. Akashi wonders why this is happening, sounding upset.
The scene shifts, and Akashi approaches his senior and ex-fiancee. His senior asks what's wrong, and Akashi addresses his ex-fiancee, bringing up the stolen show pitch again, saying she could've vouched for him and proven he came up with everything. Playing dumb, she says she doesn't know what he's talking about, to Akashi's dismay. His senior mockingly asks what he's doing, trying to say it was plagiarism? With no evidence?
Defiantly, Akashi says the proof is that he has the same text on his computer still. His senior, however, fires back that it was actually Akashi trying to steal the pitch, and now he's trying to cause more trouble, isn't he? Turning to Akashi's ex-fiancee, he asks her if the pitch was his own idea originally, and she fawns over him as she says yes.
Back to Akashi, the senior says that this industry is a wild jungle, an eat-or-be-eaten world. If he wants the limelight, he should flatter his seniors more. If he disobeys, he'll be targeted again, and devoured down to the bones. As for the senior, he's currently eating Akashi's ex-girlfriend! The ex-fiancee fawns again, asking what he's talking about playfully, to Akashi's frustration.
She then adds that you have to step on others to reach the top, and the courage to do so is super hot. Akashi's not like that- he's just a weakling that's going to get eaten. She then cutely bids him goodbye with another wave, and the couple walks off.
The scene changes again, to Akashi falling to his knees in the room with the checker-pattern floor again (it's almost identical to the shot where the cameraman approached him, screenshotted above), but this time a distorted voice similar to what we've heard on the phone with Akashi speaks, telling him that just moving on won't be enough. Understanding others, being tactful, planning ahead, and acting with purpose are all necessary. Only by having the appetite to consume everyone else can you survive; that's how this industry- no, all of society- is.
Akashi lifts his hands up from the ground, looking down at them, as he mutters "Eat... or be eaten...", and the voice continues to say, as the saying goes, people's happiness is built on the pain of others. No matter who it is, they have malice in their heart. It tells Akashi's he's talented, and that makes him a target. Akashi repeats this quietly. He's... talented? And it's because of his talent that people target him...? The voice says that people who have motivation and knowledge are suppressed, making their talent disappear, because everyone else only cares about their own best interest. Eat, or be eaten... which will he choose? Akashi, sounding angry, starts to respond that he... he will-!
The scene changes again, and Akashi, now sounding actively malevolent, declares that he'll swallow everything up. The weak, the talented, anyone he can make use of, he'll eat up every bite, bone and skin.
Fixing his posture to be a bit more proper, and speaking in a more calm tone, he introduces himself as Kei Akashi, the "consultant of justice" who will "punish evil and save your business". This isn't a game show- he'll bring you real entertainment. With this, Kei Akashi - The Glory of the TV Crew Era ends.
Closer speaks first, summarizing that Akashi was betrayed by his senior and girlfriend and became a victim, but his desires distorted. Soy adds that in order to take advantage of others, to avoid being taken advantage of himself, he became the shady consultant they know now. Wonder expresses that even given all that, his current actions... and Closer finishes, yeah, it doesn't give him a pass to deprive others of their desires just because he went through this.
Wind says that after the terrible experience he had, he could have used that as motivation to help others, but Cattle points out that not all humans have the strength to do so. The fact that they're seeing these memories proves that sometimes negative emotions can fuel a human's desire for survival. Remembering the betrayal he suffered in the past is connected to Akashi's desire to keep living. Wind doesn't have any words to respond to this.
Cattle continues that it's undeniable that Akashi's own desires are distorted, and he's hurting others and stealing their desires. If left unchecked, he'll continue to do so, and there will be more victims. Wind agrees- for the sake of Katayama, and all of Akashi's other victims, they need to change his heart.
Sure enough, like the worker told them, "that place", the core monitoring room, is just ahead. On the way, they find another important-looking computer chip.
Closer is amazed at all the screens in this room, but wonders what the thing in the middle of the room is- it kind of looks like a brain. As she comments, Wind walks away from the others. Cattle speculates that it seems to be hiding something, and asks how to open it.
Wind, who walked over to one of the consoles with wires running from it to the central brain, catches their attention. The screen on the console is showing the rooms where they'd found the smart glasses, as well as those important-looking computer chips. Wind explains: it looks like those chips are used here, but they need four, and they only have three. A detour further past the core monitoring room ends up being needed to secure the last chip, and then they return.
With all four chips inserted, the cables plugged into the central brain retract, and the "brain" itself opens up, revealing a holographic map of the dam. At first Soy asks if it's the Treasure, but Closer says it doesn't seem like it. Wind speculates that Shadow Akashi may monitor this while giving orders to his workers.
Closer then notices the two red spots marked on the map, wondering aloud about them. Wind notes that one is on the power plant, while the other... is somewhere they haven't been yet, in the middle of the dam. Closer suggests maybe it's marking Akashi's Treasure, since the other dot is on the power plant, which is where they found Katayama's Treasure. Wonder compliments Closer for noticing, and she seems pleased. Cattle says that direction would match up with the direction of the Treasure that he can vaguely sense.
Soy is mildly frustrated that they spent all this time in the control center just to discover the Treasure is somewhere else, but Wind reassures him that determining where the Treasure is is a reward in and of itself. Closer agrees, but adds that she gets how Soy feels, too; the trip wasn't for nothing, but it does feel like a bit of a waste of time. Cattle warns them not to drop their guards, since they haven't fully secured their infiltration route yet. Soy chuckles, and says they should cheer up and head out.
Heading to the spot marked on the holographic map, they reach a fence, and Cattle says he can feel the Treasure just past it.
Most of the rest of this part can be watched here, with rough, machine-translated English subtitles. Parts are missing, however, which I'll add in where they come up.
Soy declares that all that's left is to send the calling card to Akashi, then! Closer says it took forever to get here, but it feels like they've finally made it. Wind turns to the group, and thanks everyone for their hard work; there's just one last step ahead of them now. She starts to ask Wonder what they're doing next, but the audio becomes glitchy, and Wonder is alarmed as everything flashes white.
We see a scene at Kokatsu, with Akashi peeking around the corner, looking a bit out of it. He then walks around the corner, and we see Riko, Motoha, and Wonder walking together further down the hall. Akashi laughs somewhat weakly- very different from his usual tone- and, with his face in his hand, thinks to himself that he has nothing left. Some students walking by glance at him, but he pays no attention, continuing that his hope and reason for living are gone. He stumbles forward, thinking "Why... only me...? Why?" as two other female students gasp, one's hands flying up to cover her mouth as the camera reveals Akashi's holding a knife. He thinks "I'm always being eaten... stolen from, losing..." as the camera focuses in on him drawing the knife, framing Riko, Motoha, and Wonder just ahead. The camera shows his face, clearly out of it, as he says he sees, he'll just destroy everything, as the female students run away. Isn't that a good idea? Raising the blade, he says he'll take you with him, Tanemura-san, charging at Riko blade-first. Wonder watches in horror, reaching out toward him, but Riko and Motoha barely have time to react before he collides with Riko. The screen goes black, Motoha screaming, "No!! Riko-senpai!!!"
Everything flashes white again, returning to the present, Wonder shaking his head and clutching it. He thinks, "It... happened again...", and Cattle, thinking, asks if he saw something again. Wonder nods. Wind repeats "saw something... you've said this before." Closer brings up that he said he "saw" something during the Flavor Fight before as well. Wonder motions to explain, and the scene cuts for a moment. When it comes back, Wind restates what he apparently explained, that he sometimes has daydreams. Soy is shocked to hear that Wonder had one during the Flavor Fight, where he lost and Yamagoshi died. Wonder nods, and Soy asks if he's just so worried that it's making him hallucinate bad outcomes. Closer, however, brings up that Wonder was the one to mention Ashoukenâs âlifeâ, which he then asked Yamagoshi about, and that was how they saved Soy. Cattle says it sounds like they're not just regular dreams- they sound precognitive. Soy points out that if that's the case, then why is Yamagoshi still alive? And the idea that Akashi would stab Wind with a knife... Wind agrees that while it's not impossible, it'd be strange for someone as cunning as Akashi to make a reckless move like that. Soy reiterates that maybe Wonder's just too anxious, and his imagination is getting the better of him? However, Wind suggests that, rather than an overactive imagination, it almost sounds more like the *worst* future possible, which they want to avoid. Wonder thinks about this, and both his response options have him stress how real the daydreams feel. Closer asks if that means these visions really happened, but Soy doesn't understand what she means. She explains that it's something you see a lot in manga: in order to avoid a bad outcome, you go through the same thing over and over again. Soy mutters that she's just talking about manga plots, and Closer sheepishly admits she's a fan of stories like that. Wind thinks this over, and Closer becomes nervous, saying it was just a joke. But Wind doesn't think it's entirely impossible. Something like the Metaverse itself would've sounded crazy to them a few months ago, like something out of fiction. Closer admits that's true, and Soy adds that they've got talking owls and hooded monsters, too... Cattle, predictably, takes offense to this. Wind continues: the fact is that Wonder is seeing something none of them have experienced, and he's been able to use information from those visions to avoid worst-case scenarios in the past. It's possible that something about these daydreams *is* legitimate, and they should be taken seriously. Wonder can ask either "Would there be any point?" or "Why is this happening?"; in the video, the former is chosen. Wind replies that she genuinely has no idea right now, but next time he has a vision like that, he should be sure to tell them about it. Wonder nods. Looping back to the original topic, Soy says they've secured their infiltration route for the Treasure.
The linked video cuts off here, but it's not the end of the scene, and in fact cuts out the next scene entirely:
Wind double-checks that they just need to send Akashi a calling card next, and Cattle confirms; last time, Riko's words to Katayama were enough, but that's not going to work this time. They'll need to ensure Akashi sees the calling card, and then steal his Treasure that same day. Everyone nods.
Closer then asks how they're going to deliver the calling card. She suggests putting it on his desk, but Soy points out that while he'll definitely see it, it's so ordinary that he might not take it seriously, thinking it's only a prank.
Wind admits she has an idea, and Closer excitedly asks her what it is. She explains that Akashi's crimes are difficult for even the police to identify, but every time he's consulted somewhere, he's left victims behind. Therefore, she wants to reveal to more people what he's done, making it so he can't ignore the calling card. She wants tens of thousands of people- no, even more than that- to see it.
This piques Closer's curiosity, and Soy mutters that he's glad Wind's so dependable, but he's really glad she's not their enemy. Wind continues that she'll need their help, but she'll explain more later, to Closer's dismay, who complains that she built it up for them just to delay the reveal. Cattle points out that if they stay here much longer, they're at the risk of being found by shadows. He believes it's time to retreat for now, and Closer somewhat reluctantly agrees. Soy says they'll leave the calling card planning to Wind.
Back in the real world, outside of Shibuya station in their usual spot, Riko says they should disband for today, and she'll work out the details for the calling card. Motoha says she's really looking forward to what Riko has in store. Shun suggests Wonder get some rest; maybe he just has those weird visions because he's not getting enough sleep? Wonder nervously nods.
Ruferu brings up Wonder's vision of Riko being stabbed again, but Shun cuts him off, saying he's thinking about this too much. Ruferu continues anyway, wondering what would push someone like Akashi, who's always calm and operates behind the scenes, to suddenly commit murder. Wonder can suggest either "Desperation...?" or "Losing everything...?", and Ruferu rephrases this as losing all his desires. However, if he lost all desires, including the basic desire to live, he shouldn't still have the desire to take someone else down with him. Perhaps someone else interfered, and stimulated his negative desires, completely distorting them...?
Shun, frustrated, says again that they shouldn't overthink a bad thing that never happened. As long as they change his heart, everything'll be fine. Wonder can either agree, or say they need to do this for Riko's sake. Ruferu slightly awkwardly agrees, apologizing for going on about it. He suggests they all rest up and prepare for Riko's plan. Motoha enthusiastically agrees, bidding them all good night.
The video continues:
Wonder goes to sleep, and finds himself in the Velvet Room once again. Merope apologizes for bothering him so late at night. Igor says tonight, he'd like to talk about the glimpses of tragic fates befalling those close to him that Wonder has. Wonder can respond either "You mean the daydreams?" or "Is Igor the one showing me these?". In the video, the former is chosen, and Igor repeats, "Daydreams? So you think these are only dreams?". In my own playthrough, I picked the latter, and he instead replied, "Impossible, these scenes are what you yourself have seen." Igor continues, "are these scenes a reality of the past, a predicted future, or truly just your imagination?". He asks Wonder what he thinks, and Wonder has all three of those possibilities as response options. The video picks "a predicted future", to which Igor replies that makes sense, as Wonder doesn't have these memories himself, so it's natural to assume they're precognitive. In my own playthrough, I picked "a reality of the past", which instead gets the response, "But... you don't have these memories yourself? I'm very curious why you think this." Igor then laughs, and says it could be the past, the future, or perhaps neither entirely... Regardless of which it is, only Wonder himself will be able to determine this. Wonder reacts with a ?, and Merope explains that what Igor means to say is that Wonder must continue to feel a desire towards this, and should not stop thinking about it. Igor agrees, then asks Wonder if he recalls these words someone said to him before: "Not being aware of one's abilities, and not having those abilities at all, are two different things." Wonder thinks to himself that this *does* sound familiar, but after thinking for a moment, cannot recall who said this. (Notably, Ruferu was the one who said this, back when he first sat in the seat across from Wonder on the train, just before the Rush Rider rode onto the train and charged at Wonder.) Igor laughs again, and advises Wonder to continue to hold tightly onto his desires if he wants to avoid ruin. Ominously, he adds that he hopes this isn't Wonder's final choice. Wonder can ask either "Final choice...?" or "Do you know something?"; regardless of which is picked, Merope makes a noncommittal noise (with her expression that's often used for annoyance), then says that's all for tonight. Igor says he looks forward to their next meeting, with a laugh.
The very last bit of a scene from this update is also omitted from the video:
The next morning, Wonder wakes up, and thinks to himself, "Final choice... What does that mean?" He then shakes his head, noting that he's unable to think of an answer, and gets out of bed. He recalls that Riko's planning something for Akashi, so he should get ready in the meantime.
P5X Third Arc Summary
(last updated 7/30/24!)
Only the first half of this arc has been added to the game as of the making of this post. Once the second half is added, that will be covered here as well!
Usual disclaimer: Please keep in mind this game still has no official English translation, so this summary uses a mix of what happens visually, what I understand of the Japanese dialogue, and Google translate for the Chinese text, in order to get the broader picture here. This will be focused on summing up everything that happens overall, without getting into a line-by-line translation.
Contrary to this blogâs name, this post is going to have as little speculation as possible, and stick to confirmed facts.
This post (and its reblogs) will cover the Katayama Arc.
The Phantom Thieves have gathered on the rooftop of Kokatsu Academy during lunch, after Ruferu apparently asked them to. He brings up the "person behind the scenes" that he suggested might exist after they stole Miyazawa's Treasure, and suggests that they should avoid talking about their Metaverse activities in areas with other people around, in order to protect their identities.
Motoha agrees that that's a good idea, but thinks the rooftop should be pretty safe, since it's big and no one else comes up here. Ruferu decides they should make this their hideout for now. Wonder can respond "Hideout...?" or "Very stylish". If the latter is picked, Ruferu is pleased he understands, and suggests it's "chic" as well. Motoha still doesn't understand the term, saying Ruferu's using difficult words again, to Shun's slight bafflement.
Putting that aside, Shun confirms that people rarely come to the roof during lunch, reminding Motoha he always eats alone up here. She hasn't been up here much, but really likes the idea of eating under the blue sky.
As they start to eat, she notices that Shun only brought ramen, and all Wonder has is bread, so she offers to share some of her food. Shun wants to focus on his ramen, but if Wonder accepts, Motoha mentions she made it herself. This catches Ruferu's attention, who now wants to try some as well.
Once they're done eating, Ruferu gets back to business, saying he wanted to discuss their next target. They don't have any clues, but since they stole Miyazawa's Treasure a few days ago, they can use that to open the next area of Mementos. Shun agrees they should look for the next Palace there, and it's decided they'll go there after school.
Before the bell rings, Motoha remembers Tomoko told her about a new teacher coming to Kokatsu, though he won't teach any classes.
Elsewhere in the school, the Dean of Academic Affairs, Yamanashi, is introducing the teachers to a man named Kei Akashi. He's an educational consultant sent by the school board. Akashi explains that, as he's sure they're all aware, teachers in the country are overworked, and the job of an educational consultant is to help ease their burden. While he's here, he'll be conducting an investigation to identify problems at Kokatsu, and assist in creating an environment that allows teachers to focus on educating students.
The teachers all like what Akashi proposes, and Yamanashi lets them know there will be a mandatory school assembly to introduce Akashi to the students. At first, Katayama is in favor as well, but when she says she'll be able to spend more time with her students, Yamanashi berates her for a recent unauthorized home visit she made, which a parent complained about.
Katayama explains that the student whose parent complained has been missing a lot of school lately, and leaving early. She tried calling their parents, but was unable to get in touch, and took this as a further sign that something was wrong. If her student is having family troubles, she wants to be able to support them.
Akashi tells her to stop, and switches his glasses over to another pair, suddenly knowing her full name is Kumi Katayama, to her surprise.
He explains that they're smart glasses, and he checked the information he has on her using them. He then agrees with Yamanashi that she shouldn't be making house visits, citing the fact that students complain about them, and calling her mindset outdated. Katayama continues to try to argue her perspective, that some students need more support, especially if they're clearly not getting any, but Yamanashi shuts her down, saying Akashi is correct. He then forbids her from seeing any students outside of school- saying that goes for the other teachers as well- and ends the meeting.
Katayama and Akashi stare at each other for another moment as everyone else leaves, and Akashi tells her he looks forward to working with her before leaving as well. Outside of the office, however, he mutters to himself that, as he suspected, she'll be the perfect bait, and he needs to let "that person" know everything is going well. He pulls out a cellphone, and the scene ends.
Back in her classroom, Katayama struggles to get the attention of her class, eventually yelling at them all to be quiet.
She immediately seems to regret it, but awkwardly informs them of the mandatory assembly tomorrow morning. She then ends the class for the day. Some murmurs go through the class about her reaction.
Motoha turns around in her seat, and comments that Katayama seems to be in a bad mood. While she understands Katayama couldn't get them to settle down, the yelling was alarming.
The other students start gossiping again, saying Katayama must be a phantom. At this moment, Shun walks into the classroom.
He warns them not to say things like that behind Katayama's back, then heads over to Wonder's desk and asks about going to Mementos today.
In Mementos, they head right to the door, and sure enough, it opens. The MetaNav informs them a new area has opened up, to Soy's surprise. He wonders where the app came from, and Closer admits she never really thought about it since it's so strange already; it works with no signal, and can't be deleted.
Soy asks Cattle if he has any idea, but Cattle doesn't, though it's possible he might remember something as he regains more of his memories. All he knows is that people with strong desires can use it. Closer starts to think it's a little scary, if even Cattle doesn't know anything about it, and the snake icon doesn't help.
Cattle explains that the ouroboros is rather famous, as a snake that eats its own tail... but Closer points out this icon isn't actually eating its own tail, to Cattle's shock. Eventually, they brush it off as overthinking; the important thing is that the MetaNav lets them steal the hearts of people like Kiuchi and Miyazawa.
With that, Cattle attempts to locate the next Palace by listening for the voices of the collective unconscious. He's startled out of his focus by the feeling of a powerful presence approaching, which forms into a shadow. Cattle and Wonder immediately recognize it.
They're forced to fight it again, and find it significantly more powerful this time. When they beat it, Cattle explains to Closer and Soy that he and Wonder fought this shadow before, when Wonder first came to Mementos. Closer asks if that means it came back, and Cattle mutters to himself wondering if it can somehow reform and steal desires infinitely, but then brushes that off, deciding the world would have fallen into chaos long ago if that were the case. Still, they'll have to keep an eye out for more like it in the future.
Cattle then tries to listen to the voices again, but has no luck. Closer guesses maybe that means the next Palace ruler hides their evil actions like Miyazawa did, and Cattle agrees-- they'll need to find more information first. Soy asks how they'll get it here, and the others clarify they'll need to get information in the real world, which reminds him of when they were asking about Miyazawa.
As they leave Mementos, the scene cuts elsewhere, to the Cyler Eats deliveryperson speeding down Shibuya Central Street, rushing right past people and nearly knocking them over.
As people complain, one of them recalls that was a phantom, the "Rush Rider".
That night, Wonder visits the Velvet Room. Igor congratulates him on his desire winning out over another Palace ruler, and Merope applauds. Igor says his desire is strong enough to guide the current world, and he's using the power he was given very skillfully. When Wonder asks, Merope clarifies Igor was referring to the power to enter the Metaverse, and Igor mentions the MetaNav by name, saying that, depending on the user's will, it can be a key to avoid the coming ruin, or the culprit that brings it about.
Wonder can ask "Key?" or "Culprit?", and at least if he chooses the latter, Igor says outright "A person with this power... You're not the only ones." Wonder tries to ask about this, but Igor can't give him the answers; the ending has to be decided by Wonder. With that, Wonder wakes up.
The next day, Wonder sees Yamagoshi taking down the closure notice on Toraiken's front door.
Yamagoshi recognizes him as Shun's friend, and explains that Toraiken is resuming business now that he's feeling better, even if he hasn't completely recovered. He wants to see his customers' happy expressions again. Ruferu comments that his desires have returned to him now that they changed Miyazawa's heart and opened another area of Mementos.
Yamagoshi does lament that Miyazawa drove away all his part-time workers, but then realizes Wonder must live near here, and invites him to come work at Toraiken part time if he ever wants to. He then warns Wonder that it looks like it's going to rain, so he should hurry to school.
Ruferu asks Wonder if he brought an umbrella; he did not, but there's no time to run back home and grab it. Sure enough, they get caught in the rain at Shibuya station, and they run into Motoha, who's in the same situation. Luckily, as they're running through the rain, a car pulls up: it's Riko, who offers a ride. Motoha eagerly accepts, and Wonder follows after Riko clarifies they're both welcome.
In the car, Riko types away at a keyboard as Motoha thanks her. Riko explains she happened to be passing by. Wonder can comment either "Going to school by car?" or "Rich people..."; if he chooses the former, Riko clarifies that she usually takes the train, but she had work to get done, and Motoha sympathizes that it's impossible to get anything done on a packed morning train.
Riko and Wonder then formally introduce themselves to each other.
Once they reach the school, Riko parts ways with them, and Motoha exclaims again about how lucky they were to run into her. Ruferu comments that Riko's car was very comfortable, nearly on par with his own car form. Motoha teases him, saying Riko's car is more advanced, but it makes sense, given Riko is the eldest daughter of the president of UMETANE.
When neither Wonder nor Ruferu know what she's talking about, Motoha explains that UMETANE is a company that sells a wide variety of plum products, and even has ads on TV. She's surprised they haven't heard of it. She used to drink plum juice from Riko after training, back when she was in a little league and Riko would cheer her on. They don't talk much anymore, though.
Students start to pass by Motoha, Wonder, and Cattle, and after a moment of confusion, Motoha realizes they're headed to the assembly Katayama told them about yesterday. They have to hurry to make it in time.
At the assembly, Riko introduces Akashi, then steps aside to let him speak. Akashi introduces himself, and says he's here for an investigation to help make Kokatsu better, which includes any student suggestions. He lets them know they'll be seeing him around school and in classrooms, but he's not a suspicious person... although saying that probably makes him sound suspicious.
The other students seem to have mixed opinions on him, but Motoha thinks he's interesting, and Ruferu comments that he may be able to help strengthen the students' desires. Riko dismisses the assembly.
After the assembly, Yamanashi formally introduces Akashi to Riko, as the head of the disciplinary committee. Putting on his smart glasses, Akashi identifies her as the UMETANE heiress. Riko asks about the smart glasses, so he explains that he has information about the students that serve as the backbone of the school uploaded onto them. He further identifies her as someone who is popular and has excellent grades.
Yamanashi is impressed by how much background research Akashi did, and tells him he's free to order Riko around for whatever information or busywork purposes he may have. Akashi points out that using the phrase "order around" sounds like a violation, and Yamanashi backtracks. Stepping around that, he invites Akashi to make use of the student guidance room and his office as much as he needs. Akashi thanks him, mentioning that though he was already given a desk in the teachers' office, much of his work is a bit more confidential than that affords.
Yamanashi then has Riko hand a file of information that he'd requested over to Akashi. Riko says she'll also send him electronic copies. Yamanashi again brags about how much work Riko did for him, and this time, Akashi wonders if it's appropriate to hand over so much work to a student, not to mention the potential confidentiality issues. Yamanashi, sheepish again, clarifies Riko's very good in this regard, and much better than the other students at getting things done. Akashi pushes a bit more, but Yamanashi insists this is preparation for the family business she plans to inherit. Riko agrees, saying her father encourages her to help out the teachers.
With this, Akashi accepts her help during school hours.
Back in class, Katayama wraps up a lesson, then, somewhat downcast, reminds the class to be polite if they do ask Akashi for any help or have suggestions. Motoha, turning around to talk to Wonder, wonders if something's bothering Katayama, and Ruferu speculates it has something to do with Akashi based on how she talked about him. Motoha starts to sidetrack, and thinks about what suggestions she'd have for Akashi, like less exams, a better cafeteria menu, and more sweet bread types in the school store.
The next day, Wonder runs into Shun during lunch, who apparently bought several "rare flavors" of instant ramen this morning to try for lunch. He asks Wonder if he wants to join in at the hideout. Wonder's thought bubble declares him to be a bit uneasy about the weird flavors, but curious enough to say yes anyway. They take a detour to buy drinks.
However, the vending machine is blocked by two girls filming a video, claiming they're going to buy and try every drink in the machine. Shun complains, and the students nearby say the girls have been doing this for a bit without caring about anyone else, so someone should probably call a teacher.
One of the girls expresses doubt that their video will really get much attention, and the other asks her what they could do instead. The first girl suggests they do the thing that phantom did, and pulls out a lighter and hairspray, saying she's going to make fire spray~! in a cutesy tone.
Shun, alarmed, says they have to stop them, but before they have a chance, Katayama runs over and slaps the lighter out of the first girl's hand. The second girl holds up her phone.
Katayama demands to know what they thought they were doing, and the first girl innocently says they were just filming a video. The second girl then declares she took a picture of Katayama's violent action, and she's going to post it on Magatsushin, hoping it'll go viral.
Shun comes over and grabs the second girls' wrist, saying that's enough, and Katayama was just stopping them from doing something stupid. The first girl immediately takes out her own phone, and takes a picture of him, mockingly calling him a violent boy. Katayama asks Shun to let her go, and he reluctantly does.
Katayama then tells them to stop taking pictures, and confiscates the first girl's phone, to her anger. The second girl refuses to hand hers over when asked, saying Katayama's just trying to cover up the evidence they got, since she's a phantom. She starts to chant "Tyrannical teacher, tyrannical teacher!"
Riko appears, and tells them to quiet down.
Riko asks what happened, and the girls declare that Katayama used violence against them and confiscated one of their phones. Shun immediately says it was because they took out a lighter first, and the girls call him cruel. Riko shakes her head, and continues to try to get the actual story.
As this happens, Akashi approaches, and, seeing this is an argument between a teacher and some students, says he'd like to know what's going on as well.
He decides that he'll hear our Katayama's side of the story, while Riko will talk to the students involved. Katayama protests, saying the girls were going to do something dangerous, so a teacher should be supervising them. He should at least call another teacher over to oversee things, if he wants to talk to her. Akashi brushes this off, saying students should deal with student problems, and dismissing Katayama's further arguments with a line about "outdated thinking" again.
Riko assures Katayama that she can handle them, though this seems to trouble Katayama. Akashi then takes the confiscated phone from Katayama, telling her she can't confiscate personal belongings from students, and if she deleted things from them, it could be seen as destroying evidence. He says he'll look over the videos himself, as an outside party, and then delete them afterward if they're not evidence of anything.
The girls protest this, and he advises them that controversial videos aren't the best way to earn views, but offers to show them some other techniques for video editing that are more popular later. The girls immediately fawn over how cool and mature he is, causing Riko to shake her head again before taking them with her.
Shun mutters that he was there, too, and Katayama says she'll talk to Riko later. With that, she and Akashi leave as well. Shun tries to tell her she did nothing wrong, but she just holds up a hand as she walks away.
The next day at school, some of the students in Wonder's class are gossiping about something that is "definitely Katayama" and a "girl getting beaten". Motoha watches something on her phone, then turns around and shows it to Wonder: it's an edited video of the incident yesterday with Katayama and the girls, posted to Magatsushin and calling Katayama a phantom. Motoha mentions the face is blurred, and the name is changed to "Teacher K", but anyone at Kokatsu can immediately tell the teacher in the video is Ms. Katayama.
Elsewhere, Yamanashi is outraged at this scandal, having one of their school's teachers posted as a phantom. He confirms whether Akashi deleted the video like he was supposed to, and Akashi says he did, but, well, the situation was chaotic. It's possible another student filmed everything. Yamanashi, distraught, now forbids Katayama from interacting with students outside of teaching her classes, and she's also not allowed to confiscate any student's belongings.
Katayama asks if he's forbidding her from stopping students from doing something dangerous, and Yamanashi insists she just call another teacher, or Akashi, or even Riko to deal with it instead. Katayama, alarmed, asks if he's trying to make teachers depend on students, and he declares that Riko's more reliable than her. Akashi adds that after Riko talked to them, the two girls wrote letters of apology, unlike the boy that Katayama dismissed.
Yamanashi then sends a defeated Katayama home for the day, saying they'll have other teachers cover her. He warns the other teachers not to get involved in students' business. Akashi and Riko should be relied on as the go-betweens.
Later, instead of Katayama, Mr. Hakozaki enters the classroom, and clumsily tries to explain that Katayama went home because she was "sick" when students ask about her. The students gossip, speculating she got fired because she appeared on Magatsushin, and Mr. Hakozaki frantically admits she just got sent home early today.
After class, Motoha expresses concern about Katayama, and Ruferu points out that, no matter the truth of the situation, their homeroom teacher is now technically a phantom. Motoha clarifies she was only posted once, and not officially recognized by Magatsukami, but Ruferu points out that that doesn't really matter in the eyes of everyone else.
He then mentions that Kiuchi and Miyazawa were also phantoms, so that could mean Katayama could become a Palace ruler, even as Motoha says it's impossible. He's not set on the idea, but he wanted to address the possibility.
After Wonder goes to sleep that night, we see a whale swimming through a body of water, and then several of those shadows (that Wonder and Cattle fought before) spawn in Mementos.
The scene then cuts to Katayama entering a public restroom, and the Cyler Eats deliveryperson, also known as the Rush Rider phantom, stepping out of the same restroom and getting onto a bike.
With her speech bubble now identifying her as Katayama, the Rush Rider complains that her head hurts, and, sounding like she's in significant pain, wonders why she became a phantom, and why she's like this. She rides off on her bike, and the camera pans over to show Akashi walk up to where she was just standing. He laughs to himself, and does something with his smart glasses.
The next day, Wonder runs into Motoha and Tomoko on his way to the school store during lunch. They invite him to come eat with them up on the roof after buying some food. However, the school store is being monopolized by the same two girls from the other day, filming another video.
This time, they're planning to buy and review all the bread in the school store. Tomoko and some of the other students recognize them as the girls from the video with Katayama, and several of them complain that they're not letting anyone else buy anything. However, the girls just threaten to take videos of anyone who gets in their way and post them online.
Motoha moves to talk to them, but Tomoko stops her, warning her that those are the girls that got Katayama identified as a phantom. This just makes Motoha angrier with them. Someone else suggests they call Riko, but another says they already called her. Wonder wonders why they don't get a teacher, but Tomoko tells him that everyone is supposed to go to Riko now. The teachers are unreliable these days, since all anyone needs to do is take out a phone and say they're filming, and the teachers will back off immediately. Motoha can't believe this.
Riko finally arrives, led by another student, and is disappointed to see these two causing trouble again. She asks if their apology letters were a lie, but they claim they weren't doing anything, just buying stuff at the school store. Riko tells them they're causing problems for the other students, but they whine about wanting to finish filming their video first.
At this, Akashi arrives, and their demeanor immediately shifts, happy to see him and pleasantly asking about what he's doing here as if he's a friend they ran into by chance. Akashi offers to teach them more secrets to making popular videos, and they happily agree to come with him to the student guidance room.
Akashi then turns to Riko, and somewhat dismissively (though smiling) tells her he can handle this, and she should enjoy her lunch. After all, fixing problems here is his job. Riko looks slightly downtrodden at this.
As Riko leaves, she runs into Motoha, Tomoko, and Wonder, and they step aside to talk.
Motoha marvels at how quickly and easily Akashi resolved the situation, but seeing that Riko seems a bit off, asks if she's okay, considering she has to deal with all the students' problems now. Riko admits there have been a lot of people coming to her, but Yamanashi comes over before she can answer further.
He asks about the incident, noting it was the same two girls, but then tells Riko she shouldn't be needing Akashi to solve problems, as their evaluation will look better if he's less involved. This strikes a nerve with Motoha, who steps forward and says the teachers should be taking care of things, not Riko. Yamanashi nervously explains that Akashi's new policy is that students solve students' problems, to help with student autonomy and let teachers focus on teaching. Motoha fires back that that sounds like an excuse, but Riko tells her to stop.
Once Motoha backs off, Riko asks what Yamanashi wanted from her. Yamanashi informs her he forwarded her an email from Akashi, and wants her to take care of organizing the data he requested. Once Yamanashi leaves, Motoha and Wonder are shocked that he'd blatantly push his work onto Riko.
Riko, however, says it doesn't matter, because as long as she takes care of it, she'll also get the evaluation she deserves, from the dean. But then she makes a pained face, and calls him a "shallow" and "easily manipulated" person. Her focus is on protecting herself and her own interests, and as long as people see her as a pawn to be used, they won't betray her. She can trust Akashi to an extent, since he's not the type to sever a useful relationship with someone as long as they don't get in his way, but she finds him a bit suspicious, since she's unsure what he really thinks.
Motoha asks what she's saying, and Tomoko tells her no one would treat her like that. Riko turns back to them, and asks them if they think the idea of relationships maintained on those principles are scary. She can't trust anyone without considering their personal interests first. Motoha and Tomoko insist they care about Riko, and even offer to help her with the dean's work for nothing in return, but Riko says they haven't changed, and politely turns them down. After she leaves, Tomoko says Riko must have changed, because she wouldn't have said something like that in the past.
The next day, the Phantom Thieves gather at their hideout again, and Motoha asks if they're heading to Mementos to keep looking for the Palace. Ruferu mentions that having a full name makes it much easier for him to focus in on the Palace while listening to the voices of the collective unconscious, and the topic of Kiuchi and Miyazawa both being phantoms comes up again. Motoha adds that they were both confirmed phantoms, and Shun comments that it makes sense that bad people like them would have Palaces.
Motoha tries checking Magatsushin for phantoms, and the first two she finds are the Rush Rider (who she says she knows nothing about), and then "Teacher K", the "tyrannical teacher", otherwise known as Ms. Katayama. Motoha tries to brush past her, but Ruferu advises they take the possibility more seriously. Shun immediately goes on the defensive for Katayama, saying she was just filmed by some troublemakers, but Ruferu is unfazed, as the public considers her a phantom, no matter what the truth of the situation is. Shun is still skeptical, because Katayama's not a bad person.
At that moment, Katayama herself comes up to them, Ruferu barely noticing her in time to fly away. She says she wants to talk to them, and brings up the video of the Flavor Fight on her phone. Shun is surprised, as Miyazawa's channel was deleted, but Katayama says his channel was popular enough that people probably reposted the videos. She asks if it's Shun in the video, and Shun awkwardly avoids answering, so she pushes, saying the three of them must have gone to the Flavor Fight the day they skipped part of their afternoon classes.
Wonder can tell her the truth or lie; if he tells the truth, Shun frantically tries to shush him, while Katayama thanks him for being honest. She says she doesn't blame them, and won't tell the other teachers, but she hopes they'll come to her if they have any problems in the future, because as their teacher, she wants to help them. She also expresses concern about how much they've suddenly been spending time together; it's fine if they're just becoming better friends, but she worries they've gotten into more trouble.
Shun starts to ask her how she knows- then cuts himself off, makes a guilty, nervous face, and says there's no trouble at all. Katayama laughs, calling him a kid who can't lie, and asks them to come to her before doing anything dangerous. Shun apologizes, and admits there is a problem, but he can't tell her, no matter what. Katayama seems distraught to hear this, so he tries to assure her that they'll figure it out and be fine for sure, but it doesn't help much, as she mutters to herself that she must be unworthy of trust.
Akashi then interrupts, reminding her the dean forbid her from talking to students outside of class, to Motoha's surprise. He calls her an "internet celebrity" who can't be allowed to influence students, which immediately angers Shun, though Katayama tells him it's fine. Katayama then dismisses herself, but quietly pleads with them to talk to an adult, even if it's not her, before she leaves.
Walking over to them with a smile, Akashi calls that a disaster, though Motoha insists Katayama was just worried about them. Akashi says he can help them instead, and uses his smart glasses to immediately identify them. At their surprise, he explains they can compare faces with the student registry. With that, he invites them to come to him with any concerns, and exits the roof.
Ruferu returns, as Motoha decides Akashi is actually a little scary, though she thought he was a good teacher originally. Shun declares that he doesn't like him. Ruferu complains about their meeting being interrupted, and says he wants to try using Katayama's name to find the next Palace. At Shun's reluctance, Ruferu points out that this could also prove she's not a Palace ruler, while narrowing down their search options, and Shun relents.
After school, they head to Mementos. Though Soy and Closer are convinced it won't work...
Cattle is shocked to be able to locate the Palace after saying "Kumi Katayama" and listening for a moment.
Closer and Soy are also in disbelief, but Cattle insists there's no mistaking it. However, while he's positive her name led him to the Palace, he does describe the atmosphere as "a bit strange", with "something like noise mixed in, interfering with the signal". Miyazawa's Palace didn't have anything like that.
Wonder, Closer, and Soy decide they'll have to see the Palace with their own eyes, so they set off towards where Cattle heard it coming from.
To be continued in the next reblog!

(( It's been such a hot minute since it's happened, that I forget that most people who follow this blog don't know what happens when Miranda sincerely catches a crush and knows it, for once!
In short: if Miranda ever does manage to genuinely fall for someone and wants them, then, firstly, she's going to panic. Miranda is someone who, yes, is very confident in herself and believes that she has a right to every good thing in life, but that definition of "good thing" has been severely biased by the Merkingdom. The only things she really indulges in actively wanting and pursuing are things that the Merkingdom tells her she is supposed to want and pursue in the first place, things that are acceptable for a royal to want and things which are "normal" for them to want. This is why she doesn't actually mind dating, so long as she gets to treat the other party as a disposable toy for her to do what she pleases with â because it is common for royals to seek relationships like this, and because it helps to reinforce their place as royals.
Sincerely, very sincerely, wanting and caring for someone and actually feeling something for them, does not help reinforce this system. It leaves her vulnerable, either by other royals catching onto this, or through the other party not being well-equipped to handle the entire situation (in all the ways that it can go wrong). It is treating someone as an equal who the Merkingdom does not agree is an equal, and, even worse, it is giving Miranda a priority above the Merkingdom itself which she might hold greater loyalty to. That in particular is especially bad, given how much of Merkingdom politics is a reflection of their social dynamics to begin with.
This is why it takes so long for Miranda to admit it to herself. To do so is to admit she's not doing what she's supposed to do, that she's being bad, that she's failed in some fundamental level to be what the Throne demands her to be, and that's a lot of heavy stakes working against ever realizing when she likes someone. It has to get so bad and so intense that Miranda effectively has to admit to herself that she has done something that, in her mind, is severely wrong, and there's no way to avoid it or forget about it.
Thus, she tends to panic fairly bad. She is scared, she wants something and she was not supposed to do that, and every last moment of her life as Crown Princess is telling her that she very well might die because of this and that she will very much deserve it if it happens. It's very hard for her to connect this as anything other than a bad thing, and this is even harder to deny because Miranda liking someone also endangers them as well.
The Merkingdom will not tolerate such risks and threats, especially not to their Crown Princess, and other royals will innately view anyone who has Miranda's attention as a threat to themselves and their livelihoods. And if Miranda sincerely cares about someone, then she doesn't want them to get hurt because of her, which is made even worse by how convinced she is that she might be the one to hurt them too. Miranda's as much a royal as any of the others too, and all of Miranda's prior history of dating begins to work against her, reminding her of how easy it would be to dispose of them or harm them.
Secondly, this does present in a heightened and extreme want to bite her person of interest.
Contrary to what's above, this isn't actually a royal thing. It's a merfolk thing. They have many different ways to bite each other with many different connotations, and one way that they bite each other is both notoriously intimate, and tends to leave a recognizable bite mark on the other party, thus physically indicating that the two of them are close.
It's just a quirk of how merfolk attraction works then, that they focus so much on wanting to bite someone else when they're especially into them. It goes back to their social bonds, reinforcing them and helping to establish a new and closely tied bond, and helps secure it by gesturing to all other merfolk as a part of the social landscape that they all have to navigate. A merfolk who is especially down bad for another merfolk translates this idea as a need to bite them and be bitten back in return, to claim them as "theirs" and to be considered "mine" in turn. It's not really possessiveness nor territorial behavior, not in the way we'd understand it, but a deep and intense need to belong to someone, and a desire for that belonging. It's as much a physical thing as having a house that they live inside of, and is one of the fundamental desires behind merfolk building their miivt'ia and other relationship hierarchies.
This is intense for merfolk to begin with, being hypersocial and needing near-constant contact and interaction with each other. It is especially intense for Miranda, who is deeply repressed and cannot easily confront these desires and emotions in herself, and who perceives this sensation as being nearly painful in its intensity.
#Most secret royal advisor || OOC#Given by Divine Right || Headcanons#(( some day ill get to talk again about how having a crush nearly drives miranda insane#(( she wants it SO BAD and struggles to make sense of the severity#(( and she is SO terrified and stressed and worried#(( because what if SHE gets hurt. what if SHE hurts THEM.

Just read something saying that the moment of clarity route was """ karmic Justice """ and a part of my soul died a little.
#slay the princess#stp moment of clarity#she has spoken#I like moment of clarity now. I really do#It's no longer some messed up cycle of hate and pity#but the idea that ANYONE deserves hundreds of deaths sickens me#All while being slowly and carefully âmouldedâ into a docile husk#oh and said person being turned into a docile husk is the very concept of stagnation itself#which makes the entire process be even slower and painful#Also hot take: keeping the nightmare trapped is justified#The nightmare is more than just a desperate woman#lashing out at the only creature she ever knew for abandoning her like in chapter 1#She openly admits to wanting to turn the world into a horrid place#and one point can say she wants to âdo a little unwinding herselfâ#but all she knows is how to hurt and she wants a friend!#yeah as if the long quiet somehow knew that while his organs were rapidly dying#I'm sorry if this came off as aggressive I genuinely am#That one comment just struck a very deep chord for me

yesterday afternoon - after an unsuccessful coffee shop date - youâd decided that dating sucked. it was much too awkward and formal and not at all like it was in the movies, putting too much pressure on the people involved.
last night - after watching shoko flirt her way into free drinks - youâd been tipsy enough to take her advice.Â
casual sex! it doesn't have to be with a stranger, just pick someone you know. someone youâre sure you won't fall in love with.
this morning youâd woken up to find gojo laying in bed next to you.
you lay shoulder to shoulder with the one person you should not have picked, staring up at the ceiling, waiting for the other person to speak.Â
âdid we reallyââÂ
âthree times,â satoru confirms happily, rolling onto his side to grin down at you. âi'm surprised we didn't do this sooner, really. our sexual tension has always been off the charts.â
when he leans in to kiss you, his lips meet your palm as your expression wrinkles. âdonât get familiar.â
âweâre naked together in bedâ we slept together in more than the literal sense. canât get more familiar than that.âÂ
âand this never happen again,â you promise, refusing to look at him.Â
âwhy? because youâre afraid youâll fall in love with me? itâs okay to admit it. i'm extremely lovable.âÂ
youâve seen the way girls fawn over him. how they swoon over his pretty eyes and confident smile. heâs satoru gojo. a legend amongst jujutsu society. youâre no one in comparison, not a user of an otherworldly cursed technique, not from a major clan.Â
people like him donât fall for people like you. youâre afraid of rejection, afraid of being hurt.Â
âweâre friends,â you tell him honestly. âi donât want to risk ruining our friendship over something like this.âÂ
he tilts his head as your look at him. âshoko told you to try casual sex, didn't she? why not with me?â
âshe told you?â you groan, dragging a hand down your face and making a mental note to never ask your roommate for advice for anything ever again.Â
âhey, look at me,â he urges, grasping your hand. you do as he says, meeting his earnest gaze. âi can be casual and chill, itâs not like i have a huge crush on you or anything.âÂ
itâs so hard to say no to him. you really wish you could. Â
âiâll think about it,â you tell him, rolling your eyes when he fist pumps. âbut you need to go home before shoko sees you.âÂ
but youâre dealing with satoru gojo, who almost never does what heâs told. âyouâre not getting rid of me that easily. come here.â
he winds an arm around you, pulli my you in so youâre snug against his chest. explicit memories of last night flash through your mind, sending heat through your veins.
 âi canât.â you tell him (though youâre mostly reminding yourself.) this is insaneâ satoru, what are youââ
youâre cut off when he shushes you, whispering letâs sleep in for a little while longer.Â
he starts to drift off again as you struggle to escape his grasp, but your efforts are futile. even on the throes of sleep, satoru is stronger than you.Â
so you give up, resigning yourself to a few more minutes ofâŚcuddling. shoko isnât a morning person anyways.
after a minute, you find it's not entirely awful. itâs a purely physical reaction. gojo is good looking, even with his hair mussed with sleep and his mouth hanging open. because you know that under the softness of his skin lays defined muscle, and spending the morning in his nicely toned arms isnât the worst thing in the world.Â
(itâs purely physical, is what your head tries to convince your heart, which is beating a little faster than usual.)
a very soft, content sigh slips past your lips.Â
then, shoko knocks on your door.Â
âhey! donât tell me youâre too hungover for grocery shopping.âÂ
âshit!â you whisper harshly, shoving him away from you. âshe cannot see you in here.âÂ
âafraid youâll have to share?â he teases, narrowly avoiding being hit with a pillow. âokay, okay! where do you want me?â
âcloset!â you instruct, scrambling my around the room to make sure none of his clothes are lying around. you thrust them into his hands, pushing him into your closet.Â
he catches the door before you can close it, smiling down at you. âarenât you glad weâre doing this?â
you shove him inside, slamming the door shut just ask shoko bursts into the room.
âhey,â you greet, trying your best to appear casual as you lean against the door. your heart beats in your throat, as she squints at you, then lets her gaze sweep across the room.
âdid you bring someone home last night?â
âno.â
she looks at you. really looks at you, you think.Â
âokay,â she finally says, though you canât tell if she believes you. âi justâ i thought i saw you leave with gojo. suguru said you two were flirting all night.â
âgojo and i?â you try to laugh, but it comes out a little strained. ânever in a million years.â
shoko only shrugs, and you let yourself relax when she turns to leaveâŚ
âŚonly for her to turn around once more, leaning the the doorframe. âwell if you really don't like him, just let him down easy, alright? suguru told me he has a huge crush on you.âÂ
waitâ
âgojo?â
you hear a sharp inhale through the door.Â
âyeah,â she nods. âyou really couldn't tell?â
gojoâŚhas a crush on you. it takes a few seconds to truly sink in. âi had no idea.âÂ
âof course you didn't. heâs definitely got a really weird way of showing it.â
she turns to leave for real this time, but you wait a couple extra seconds before opening your closet, finding a wide eyed, blushing satoru staring at you.Â
you can't help but laugh. at his expression, at shokoâs revelation, at this entire situation.
dating sucks, but maybe it wonât be that bad if itâs with him.

Your husband, sukuna AU, is driving me crazy. That's like my 1st time ever experiencing what a comfort fic was. I have been re-reading them like crazy đ
If it's okay with you, can you do a husband sukuna AU but with whatever scene you want? I really love the way you write him,,, it's just so perfect đĽš
dry your tears â ryomen sukuna x f!reader
a/n: i am so glad you like them omg srsly you're too kind <33 i really hope you like this too đĽšđŤśđŤś
âmy lord, her highness requests your presence in the garden.â
said manâs eyes open slowly, and he narrows them at the servant who instantly kneels to the ground. he scoffs, ârequests? she sure has become impudent.â
the servant trembles, âthatâs how she worded it, my lord. I swear I have no role in it.â
âI didnât speak to you,â sukuna replies as he gets up as places his foot on the servantâs head, pressing into the ground a bit more.
the servant whimpers but tries to be as quiet as possible.
sukuna warns, âand youâre to address her as âher highnessâ or âthe queenâ only. do you understand?â
âbutâbut I did?â he splutters.
â âthatâs how âsheâ worded it?â â sukuna sneers.
âI didnât mean it that way! I am sorry! I am sorry! my apologies, my lord!â the servants chokes out, and sukuna takes it as the cue to kick him out of his way.
he starts walking towards the garden, while stretching and examining his surroundings.
the palace hasnât changed in the time he was gone which was good. at least the human servants are capable of doing one thing right.
the gates to the garden open, and they reveal you.
deep down, the sight brings a bit content to sukunaâs heart, seeing you alive and well. however, that is a vulnerability that he would never admit, so he gets closer to you.
youâre giving him your back despite, definitely, feeling his presence.
he groans, âwhat do you want?â
âwhere have you been?â you reply with the same tone.
he rolls his eyes, arms folded on his chest, âfighting, obviously. I was passing time.â
he hears you take a deep breath before you speak up, âand you couldnât tell me in advance?â
he can tell that youâre trying to sound calm and collected. yet, he still canât pinpoint whether youâre angry or sad. either way, he believes that your attitude is unacceptable.
he chides, âdonât blow it out of proportion, and you have the nerve to ârequest myâ"
âyou have been gone for a month.â
the edges of sukunaâs lips quirk up just a little as he starts to understand why youâre acting like this.
ânot the first time,â he hums.
he sees your shoulders raise slightly, and they seem to get tenser by the second. you speak lowly, âbut you usually tell me before you depart.â
he closes his eyes in annoyance.
this looks like it will drag out longer than he prefers. what he expected when he returned was him spending time with you, his wife, not you giving him your back and seemingly lecturing him.
âstop beating around the bush,â he commands, âwhatâs wrong with you?â
you grip your kimono tightly in your fist and squeeze your eyes shut as you exclaim, âyou had me worried sick!â your voice is watery and is shaky, but you couldnât help it.
you had spent the past month alone, nobody knew of sukunaâs whereabouts not even uraume. were you supposed to just calmly wait for his return?
he may be strong, but is it always guaranteed? especially considering how the sorcerers are always planning a way to lead him to his demise.
you bite your lip as you hold back a sob. meanwhile, your husband quirks a brow, âyou crying?â
you open your eyes and stand up abruptly, âno, I am not!â
throwing the hood over your head, you turn towards the other entrance and announce, âI am going inside!â
you start your march with determination, but as you get close to the gate, you hear your husband sigh and stop you by the arm. he pulls you towards him, tearing off the hood to take a good look at you.
your tears are not plentiful, but he can see their traces.
you frown and try to pull back, âlet go, sukuna!â
he raises a hand to cup your cheek and squishes your cheeks like a pufferfish. your eyes widen, and you furrow your eyebrows in frustration.
âstop this,â you shoot.
he looks silently at you for a few moments, and it starts making you nervous. you finally decide to ask, but then he starts wiping your tears.
you blink in confusion as he lightly scolds you, âfoolish girl.â
you register the insult after a few seconds, and it makes you frown and look away while grumbling, âshut up.â
you sniffle lightly and pull away from him. he looks down at you, silently watching you. you try ignoring his gaze, but then you just snap your head at him and huff, âwhat are you staring for?â
you study his face for bit then falter, âif itâs about yelling at you then I am sorry, okay? I was frustrated andââ
he pinches your nose, making you yelp.
âyour worrying is unnecessary,â he says slowly, âI will always come back.â
sukuna, you realize, is comforting you. he lays a hand on top of your head and commands you, albeit gently, âso stop crying.â

Black Lace and Trouble All Over Your Face đ
summary: A black lace underwear vs a lust-driven Sylus.
or

Ë Ě song recs: guess by charli xcx
She honestly didnât know how it even came to this point. From trying on an innocent dress to now, laying and spreading out before the most fearful man in the whole N109 Zone. And yet, Sylus finds her the prettiest like this â flustered and bewildered. The dress she was trying on hiked up a bit, showing off her bare, smooth legs.
Sylus could no longer ignore the gnawing primal hunger he feels towards her. It was torturous, having to hold back his desires and maintain a facade of nonchalance when all he wanted was to ravage her and make her feel like sheâs on top of the world.
Her breath hitched in her throat as she stared at him. Red eyes swirling with multitude of thoughts. âW- what are you doingâŚ?â She asked, slightly confused, yet mildly curious. Of course, she knew what he was thinking about it, sheâs not entirely dumb.
Sylus traced her jaw ever so softly. âDonât play coy with me, kitten. You knew what you were doing wearing this dress.â
Well, it wasnât really a revealing dress per se, itâs just that⌠she was in the middle of picking up her phone that had dropped to the floor when he walked in on her. Bent down and revealing a peek of whatâs underneath her cute little dress. Sylus briefly caught a glimpse of a black lace underwear, but he couldnât be too sure. He needed to see it for himself to confirm his suspicions.
If only Sylus hadnât come home at this exact moment, then maybe she wouldnât have been in this exact predicament. Not that sheâs complaining much but she is more or less a little bit surprised that it took Sylus longer than she anticipated to make a move. For someone so bold with his adoration towards her, he is awfully slow when it comes to voicing out his inner desires. Perhaps this train of thought goes way deeper and⌠dirtier than it seemed.
âI really donât know what youâre talking about. I was just trying on a cute dress I had just bought online. Itâs not my fault you saw my underwear. You shouldâve knocked before you entered anyways.â She spoke, trying to remain casual and calm but only he knows how fast her composure is slipping the more she is pinned beneath him.
He only smirked, as he wasnât particularly phased or bothered by it. The tent on his pants says otherwise though. He really is curious to know what lies beneath her dress. For once, heâll let go of his pride and bite the bullet. After all, he couldnât resist her, no matter how hard he tried. Sheâs the only one that can conquer the depths of his heart.
âWell then⌠care to satiate my curiosity then? Or is my kitten too shy to admit that she wears such a pretty little thing underneath her clothes everyday...â
A blush crept on her face even more. âO- of course not everyday!â She looked away, too embarrassed that she may have worn it because she had also bought it along with the dress. It seemed like her wishful thinking came true after all. Now that Sylus has her trapped and nowhere to go, she could only let herself go.
âWhy donât you take a guess then? What do you think Iâm wearing, hm?â
Sylus stared at her, amused by her sudden bold question. âYou want me to guess, huh, darling?â He leaned down to gently bite her earlobe, sending tingles everywhere down her body. He whispered hotly in her ear, âI think itâs black and lace. Am I right, sweetie?â
At this point, she was still surprised at how sheâs even holding up. She merely croaked out a flustered, âyesâ before Sylus smirked and went lower to kiss and bite her neck, leaving a trail of hickeys that would be visible to everyone tomorrow. She could only let out whimpers and moans at his ministrations.
âSy- sylus! PleaseâŚâ She begged as he continued to tease her. He pulled back slightly, âWhat do you want baby?â
With no hesitation, she said breathlessly, âI want you.â
Red eyes gleamed dangerously as his usual smirk tugged at his lips. âAs you wish, princess.â In a swift motion, he took the dress she was wearing and tossed it somewhere on the floor. Normally, sheâd be a little pissed but now, she couldnât care less.
Not when Sylus is marveling at the underwear sheâs wearing. A black lace, almost see-through underwear with pink bows on it. It should be a crime on how it ridiculously made him salivate at the sight before him.
âLike what you see?â She bit her lip shyly, observing his expression carefully.
âLike it is not even a word for it, sweetie.â His fingers went up to expertly take off her bra, leaving her breasts exposed. He grasped both of them before pinching her nipples, eliciting a moan out of her. Sylus closed the distance between them and kissed her hungrily, addicted to the way she tasted as he played with her tits. He pulled away and gazed at her with a wild look in his eyes, âI am going to devour you.â Was what he said before his lips enclosed on the nipple, feeling it hardened as he continued to twirl with the neglected bud.
Pure ecstasy ran through her body. She can feel herself getting even more wet the more Sylus continued to suck and lick her nipples. He watched her carefully as he trailed kisses along her soft skin, igniting all sorts of butterflies in the pit of her stomach.
She squirmed beneath his watchful eyes, âSy⌠please. Donât tease me.â She pleaded, her tone was sweet and desperate. A deep chuckle was all she heard before Sylus slowly moved down to stare at her sopping wet panty. He smirked, finding this amusing, âAlready so wet for me, kitten?â He prodded at her soaked underwear, pressing down on her clit.
At the sounds of her whimpers, Sylus continued to rub her clit through her underwear. Edging her closer to release but the moment she arched her back and curled her toes, Sylus stops. Unable to control herself any longer, she begged, âPlease⌠I want you. Iâll be good, I swear.â
âReally? Then I shall reward my good girl, hm?â Sylus pulled aside her cute lace underwear, staring in fascination and adoration at her dripping cunt. âYour pretty pink pussy is so eager for me, sweetie.â She blushed, seemingly having a hard time to grasp on his crude, yet blunt words.
Without giving her a chance to dwell on it, Sylus begins to lick her pussy. All she could do was lay back and let out a string of moansâ overwhelmed by the pleasure. Ruby eyes gazed at her intensely as he continued to expertly suck on her drooling cunt.
âHaaa..! Ah! Fuckâ! It feels so good, SyâŚâ She moaned out his name and it sounded like heaven to his ears. He hummed, skillfully tonguing her pussy with vigor, aching to witness her orgasm. The tent in his pants is becoming awfully hard, he longed to see her on her knees and choking on his cock. The more she mewls and cries, the faster Sylus laps at her eager cunt.
Her fingers find their way to grasp and pull on Sylusâs soft hair, a plethora of moans and whimpers choked out of her throat as she feels herself reaching her climax. âAh! Sylus, Sylus! Fuck, Iâm so close!â A wave of euphoria washed over her as she came undone on Sylusâs sinful mouth.
âThatâs my good girl.â He spoke lowly as he licked his lips, she felt herself flush at the sight of his face wet with her juices. Just when she thought it was over, her underwear was pulled down and tossed to the side, revealing her dripping wet pussy. Her cunt clenched around his digits, sliding in and out of her gummy walls with ease.
âArghâŚ! Sylus⌠put it in me. I want it. I want your cock.â She whimpered and who was Sylus to deny his slutty girl what she wanted. âRelax, kitten. Let me see how much you can squirt for me.â She bit her lip, hard as he continued to finger her, casually inserting three fingers at once.
He chuckled, âMy⌠someoneâs insatiable. Canât get enough, hm? Such a dirty whore for me.â She could only moan out in response as Sylus sped up, ramming in her cunt like thereâs no tomorrow. The room was surrounded by her cries of pleasure and wet squelching sounds, courtesy of her desperate pussy.
Curses and whimpers elicited out of her throat, her cunt spasming against his skillful fingers. Sylus curled his fingers and thatâs when she saw stars, coming once more for him. âSo⌠so⌠goodâŚâ She said breathlessly, seemingly in a daze.
Sylus brushed a strand of hair out of her face, drenched in sweat as she stared back at him. Her eyes are unfocused and filled with desire. âDoes my slutty kitten want my cock?â He leaned down and began to litter bite marks at her thighs. Sylus loved this, claiming her as his own. Letting everyone know that she belongs to him and him only.
She whined, her hands reaching out to grip on his shirt. âWant it, Sy⌠please. Iâve been so goodâŚâ
He lets her unbutton his shirt, her fingers are itching to feel his skin against hers, while Sylus removed his pants, speeding up the process. Without wasting any time, Sylus stroked his hardened shaft, letting out breathy moans. His gaze remained on her, laying beneath him. âCâmon sweetie, open up.â He said as he guided his cock to her parted lips.
She lets out a whine, swallowing him whole. Sylus was way too big to even fit in her mouth but the more he trained her, the more she became accustomed to it. âWhat a good cockslut.â He praised her, his fingers tugging onto her messy hair.
Eager to please, she began to bob her head around his shaft while he roughly throatfucks her. Saliva trickled down her chin but all she could think about was him. Sylus is truly the definition of perfect.
The sight of him in bliss and in pleasure turns her on way more than sheâd like to admit. Feeling strangely motivated by the looks of his face, she quickened her pace, wanting, no, she needs his cum.
âAh⌠yeah, just like that, kitten. Fuck, youâre so good at this. You like sucking my cock, huh?â He stroked her hair as she gazed up at him, nodding. Unable to resist any longer, Sylus grips her hair, and she lets herself be used just like a toy. âYou dirty little whore, so good at pleasing me. Fuck, Iâm close!â He thrusted inside her hot mouth before finally reaching his high.
As soon as he came, she hummed in satisfaction. Pulling back, she stuck out her tongue and showed him before swallowing. Sylusâs eyes glowed, heâs hungry for more. In an instant, he grabbed her throat, âYou pretty little thing, Iâm going to ruin you.â
She braced herself when she felt the tip of his cock slowly push inside her dripping cunt. Once he finally slid all the way in, he let out a moan. âYour pussy is so needy. Itâs gripping me so hard, sweetie.â She could only arch her back as her fingers scramble to grab the sheets.
Feeling herself clenching tightly around his shaft, she whimpered, âMove⌠Sylus, please, I need you hard and fast.â
The usual smirk appeared on his handsome face, âAs you wish, my slut.â Was what he said before ruthlessly pounding into her with an inhumane pace. His name falls out of her lips like a prayer â a mantra as she feels her pussy drooling and becoming wetter with each thrust.
âScream for me. Say my name.â His hand gripped her throat, âSay it, you dumb slut.â
She had no choice but to obey his demands. With a choked voice, she screamed out, âSylus! Sylus! Fuuuuck! Feels so goodâ ah! Right there, right there!â
He could only admire her as he thrusted deep into her sweet spot. Watching his lover make such lewd expressions makes him feel a swell of pride, knowing that only he could do that. No one else.
He lets go of her throat, thick fingers coming down to rub and flick at her clit. âCum on my cock, whore.â
The world turned white as soon as she reached her orgasm. Sylus continued to ram into her before coming deep in her tight cunt. He pulled out, staring in fascination as cum dribbled out of her used pussy.
âYou did so well, kitten.â He said softly, caressing her cheek as she nodded dumbly, too out of it. Sylus could only smile, knowing that she is still in a state of euphoria. He leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead, âLet me take care of you, my precious.â
The next morning, she woke up feeling sore and satisfied. To her disappointment, Sylus was nowhere to be seen. She frowned as she sat up in bed, maybe he has work? She thought to herself before getting out and walking to the bathroom.
Bite marks and hickies scattered across her skin as she observed her disheveled state in the mirror. She blushed as she recalled their intense activity last night. After she had finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, she walked out and was surprised to see Sylus in bed with a tray of breakfast.
âGood morning, sweetie.â He said, his eyes softening at her appearance.
Her feet instantly moved to sit beside him, âSylus, did you make this?â She pointed to the fluffy pancakes and a cup of coffee. A smile crept on her face once she realized that the pancakes were shaped like hearts.
âOf course. I dismissed the chef for today. Wanted to pamper you for being so good to me last night.â
If it wasnât possible, she felt herself falling for this man more and more. She smiled brightly at him, âThank you, this is lovely.â
He returned her smile with his own, âAnything for you, my sweet.â
The couple enjoyed their morning with breakfast in bed and cuddles. When Sylus was feeding her, he suddenly asked, âWhere did you get that underwear from?â
She raised a brow, âI ordered it online. Itâs pretty, isnât it?â
âVery. Next time you want to buy something, put it on my card.â He said casually.
A hint of surprise etched on her face, âOh? Okay then.â
Over the course of a few days, she finds new packages arrived at her doorstep. No doubt the work of Sylus when she shook her hand and sighs as she held up the new lace panty that he had ordered for her.
There was a note at the end of the package, it wrote, âWear this for tonight.â
She could only smile as she knew she would be in for a treat once more.

kinktober schedule
ŕźşââââââââââââââŕźť
The playoffs have treated her and Quinn so well. Quinn because he got to captain the Canucks to the second round after a short 3 year playoff drought. Her because Quinn grew a playoff beard over the past month or so and she's barely managed to keep her hands off of him while he was playing.
She loves everything about the playoffs, but especially the fact that Quinn hasnât shaved in a few weeks. He looks so good with longer facial hair and she loves the way it tickles her lip when he kisses her. She kinda just wants him to go down on her for as long as possible to feel it against her core.
The thought of Quinn eating her out with the beard is enough to soak her. The feeling of his beard on her core is something she thinks about an unhealthy number of times over the course of three weeks. Sheâs gotten off multiple times just at the thought alone, especially when he's away playing in Nashville and Edmonton. Sheâs wouldnât know what to do if it happened.
But the Canucks were eliminated by Edmonton last night so itâs time for Quinn to shave off the beard he has spent the past few weeks growing. He doesn't do it the day after their season ends because he wants to just lay around and have the laziest day ever, so she gets an extra day to admire him.
The morning of the day Quinn wants to shave his beard though, she wakes up before he does. He stopped setting alarms once the Canucks got eliminated two nights ago but she is naturally an early riser. She doesn't dare move because part of Quinn's morning routine is shaving. If she moves and wakes him up, he's going to go shave and that's the last thing she wants right now.
She softly sighs as morning Vancouver sun creates a muted orange glow throughout the room. Quinn already looks so good and he's not even awake yet.
All because of that stupid beard he grew.
Quinn begins to stir moments after she wakes. His eyes flutter open and look bright in the morning sunlight.
"It's creepy to stare at people while they sleep, baby," he tells her, his voice slurred since he just woke up. Also kind of raspy, which she loves.
"Not my fault you look pretty all the time," she replies. "I also just woke up a few minutes ago so give me a break. I wanted to admire my boyfriend before he woke up and started making comments that ruined the whole vibe."
He groans and rubs his face. He touches his facial hair and hums. "I gotta go get rid of this mess," he says. "Then you can admire me all you want, okay?"
Her eyes widen and Quinn begins to move to get out of bed. She quickly grabs his arm to stop him from getting any further.
"I like that mess," she finally admits to him. He turns back around and looks at her. She begins to talk before her brain can catch up to what she's saying. "I mean, you look really hot with that mess on your face. Except, I don't think it's a mess. I wish you wouldn't run off and shave it first chance you get."
Quinn blinks at her slowly like he's processing what she said to him. A smile grows on his lips and she presses her lips into a line.
"Come here," Quinn tells her as he lays back down. She blinks at him, confused. "I know you've thought about it. I've seen the way that you would look at me then excuse yourself to go use the bathroom." She feels her face get hot in embarrassment. She thought she was more subtle than she actually was.
She plays with her fingers while she watches Quinn get comfortable. "Quinn, I-"
"Come take a seat, pretty girl," he interrupts as he runs his fingers over his beard. "Sit on and ride my face. I know you want to so I am giving you what you want before I go shave."
Who is she to say no to him? He's offering so she might as well take it.
Without anymore hesitation, she moves so she's kneeling above his face with her knees on the pillow on either side of his head. Lucky for her, she's only wearing one of Quinn's Canucks t-shirts and a pair of underwear. Nothing else.
Quinn kisses the inside of her thigh right by her core while he pushes the fabric of the t-shirt up. She hums softly as her body finally begins to wake up. She feels the gentle scratch of his facial hair on her skin and she gnaws on her bottom lip. "Oh my God," she sighs.
"I haven't even done anything yet," Quinn laughs.
"Shut up and do something then," she retorts. "Please, Quinn." She's not above begging at this point.
He licks a stripe over her panties, which are soaked by now. Like she said, the thought alone makes her drip. His finger follows his tongue and she hums. Quinn pushes the fabric to the side and runs a finger through her soaked folds. She bites down on her bottom lip to keep from making any loud noises since it is morning and their neighbors are probably still sleeping.
She grabs onto the headboard above Quinn's head as he runs his tongue through her folds. "Fuck, Quinn!" She cries out. "Oh my God."
The feeling of the gentle scratch of his facial hair is almost too much for her. Quinn wraps his lips around her clit and hums, sending a shock through her body. It almost jumpstarts her own movements as she begins to roll her hips.
"That's it, baby," Quinn says against her core. "Take what you want."
His hands rest on her waist and he pulls her down so she's completely sitting on his face but he's still able to breathe. His tongue continues to run through her folds as she rolls her hips. Her core grinds across his face and she feels the scratch of his facial hair with each movement. She welcomes the new feeling. It only adds to her pleasure despite the beard burn she'll probably have when all this is over.
Quinn hums every so often, and she groans with every hum. Her grip on the headboard gets stronger the longer she moves. She's almost afraid that she'll lose her balance despite his hands keeping her from falling.
One of his hands slides up under the loose t-shirt and cups her breast. She throws her head back and lets out a borderline pornographic moan as she continues to ride Quinn's face. One of her hands flies to Quinn's messy hair, fingers finding a home.
He slides his other hand so his thumb can access her clit. He rubs the sensitive nub while continuing to run his tongue though her folds with each movement. "Oh my fucking- Quinn," she cries out. "Holy-"
"Look so pretty riding my face, pretty girl," Quinn mumbles. His words shoot straight to her core. "Fuck."
His thumb moves and slides into her. She gasps and her movement falters for a second while she recovers from the addition. "Quinn," she groans, holding the 'N' sound.
Between his tongue, his thumb, and his facial hair, she's not sure how she hasn't come all over his face by now. Her legs are shaking so she has to stop moving, but Quinn completely takes over despite being under her.
He speeds up his thumb for a second before switching fingers, using his pointer and middle fingers instead. She welcomes the familiar stretch.
His fingers and tongue are enough to bring her to the edge. She's white-knuckling the headboard with one hand while her other hand remains in Quinn's hair.
"Gonna come," she pants. "Quinn. I'm close."
"Told you to take what you want," Quinn replies. "So take what you want."
Quinn speeds up his fingers and curls them in a 'come here' motion. The gentle scratch of his facial hair turns less gentle as he speeds up his tongue movements, but she still loves it.
She throws her head back and cries out his name as she comes. She involuntarily rolls her own hips so her core grinds against his face again. Her fingers curl in his locks so she has something to hold on to as she reaches her climax. She loses her vision for half a second because of how hard her orgasm hits her.
Her body turns to jelly as she recovers. With Quinn's help, she's able to lie back down beside him. Her breathing is labored and she stares up at the ceiling, unable to move to look at her boyfriend.
All this morning showed her is that Quinn needs to grow out his facial hair more often because it made her come harder than she ever has before. She can't move for about ten minutes after her orgasm.
When she's fully conscious again, she looks over at Quinn. He didn't go and shave yet.
"I think I'm going to keep this for another day or two," he tells her. "Just for you. That is going to happen a few more times before it goes away."
She smiles and rolls so she can touch his face. "I'm going to need you to grow it out like this again soon because holy shit, Quinn," she giggles. "So hot. Felt so good."
Quinn matches her smile. "Maybe over the summer," he tells her. "No promises though."
"Gonna need my favorite seat back at some point."
"Next year when we make playoffs against for sure."

"Easy Going Down" - Jacaerys Velaryon
Modern!Jacaerys x Stepsister!Reader
Summary: Jacaerys and you have never gotten along very well ever since his mom and your dad got together. However, you both tolerate one another, staying out of each other's way. But this night, Jace has had enough of your defiant attitude, lashing out at you. Obviously, you decide to pay him back.

đ . ⎠aera .á Öš â ęą
Jacaerys sits engaged in his studies in his room. Still, the constant pop music blaring from his stepsister's room soon distracts him. The loud tunes echo in the hallway, quickly becoming a source of frustration. He feels his aggravation bubbling inside him as he struggles to concentrate on his assignment.
"Why does she always have to blast that ridiculous music?" he says to himself, gritting his teeth. His patience is wearing thin, and he can no longer disregard the noise that seems intentionally designed to irritate him. Taking a deep breath to calm his rising anger, Jacaerys stands up and heads toward the door.
Walking to your room, he reflects on how much you frustrate him. "Why is she even awake? I still donât understand why she needs to be so loud. Canât she be a little more considerate?" The mix of irritation and anger boils within him as he approaches her door.
He knocks, but the music continues to drown out everything else. "Just fantastic," he mutters to himself, and at that moment, he realizes that his patience has completely evaporated. Jacaerys flings the door open, bracing himself to demand that she lower the volume. Still, heâs hit with a wave of anger that makes the whole predicament even worse. He takes a deep breath, steeling himself for a confrontation.
"Hey, turn that music down," he demands. He lacks the composure to simply ask, and in that instant, his emotions take charge. Jacaerys is fully prepared for an argument, knowing that this encounter won't go smoothly.
You were dancing in your room, clad in your baby blue panties and a loose white tee. The music was blasting, the beat thumping through your veins as you moved to the rhythm. It had been a long, tiring day, and you just needed to let loose, to forget about everything.
Your hair swayed with each twist and turn of your body as you lost yourself in the beats of Black Eyed Peas, a classic. You finally felt somewhat better, like the cool, carefree girl everyone sees you as. Nothing else mattered except the music and the feeling of the air against your skin.
Suddenly, your 'party' was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. You didn't need to look to know it was Jace. He always had a knack for ruining your fun. But you didn't let it phase you. Instead, you turned up the volume, your grin turning wicked as you faced him.
You continued to dance, lipsyncing the words with exaggerated passion, putting on a show just to annoy him. His face contorted with anger, his brows furrowing. You had to bite back a laugh as he got angrier while you just kept twirling around like an exotic dancer.
"What? Not used to actually good music?"
Jacaerys stands in the doorway, his eyes wide as he takes in the sight before him. His stepsister is dancing in nothing but her underwear, your body moving sensually to the music. He feels a wave of anger wash over him, mixed with a hint of something else... something he doesn't want to acknowledge.
"What the fuck are you doing?" he shouts over the music, his voice dripping with contempt. "You can't just blast your shitty music at all hours of the night!"
He takes a step into the room, his eyes never leaving your body. He tries to look away, trying to focus on the anger bubbling up inside him, but he can't help but stare. Your curves are mesmerizing, your skin glowing in the dim light of her bedroom.
"And put some fucking clothes on!" he adds, his voice rising. "You look like a cheap whore!"
The words leave a bitter taste in his mouth, but he can't take them back. He knows they're cruel, but he's too angry to care. He hates you, hates how you have invaded his life, his home. And now you're dancing around half-naked, taunting him with your body.
"Don't you know I'm trying to study?" he shouts, crossing his arms over his chest. "Do you have any idea how annoying you are?"
He's breathing hard, his heart pounding in his chest, he can't seem to look away from you, can't stop watching you move. Jace clenches his fists, trying to ignore the way your breasts are visible through the light-coloured tee and the way your panties hug your hips.
You stop dancing and glare at him, your lips pursed together. You abruptly shut off the music, the sudden silence deafening.
"Get out!" You yell, furious at his degrading words. You know you pissed him off, but he's never called you names like that before. What's gotten into him?
You cross your arms over your chest, suddenly feeling self-conscious about your state of undress. But you refuse to let him see that he's gotten under your skin. You keep your chin raised defiantly, meeting his angry gaze head-on.
"You're the one who barged in here unannounced," you snap. "Maybe if you knocked first, you wouldn't have seen anything. But apparently, you just can't help yourself when it comes to invading my privacy."
You turn away from him in disgust, not wanting to look at him anymore. Your heart is pounding and you feel your cheeks flush with anger and embarrassment. You can't believe he said those things to you. He's never been so cruel before.
Jacaerys feels a pang of guilt as he sees the hurt in your eyes, but he quickly pushes it down. You're the enemy, the intruder in his life. He can't let himself feel sorry for you.
"Oh, so it's my fault now?" he scoffs, taking another step into the room. "I'm the one who can't help myself? You're the one who's always prancing around half-naked, just begging for attention."
He reaches out and grabs your arm, turning you to face him. He can feel the heat radiating off your skin and can smell the sweet scent of your perfume. It's intoxicating, and he hates himself for noticing.
"Listen, you little bitch," he sneers, his face inches from yours. "I'm in charge here, not you. You don't get to do whatever you want, whenever you want. There are rules in this house, and you're going to start following them."
He can see the rage in your eyes, the way you grit your teeth. But he doesn't let go. He wants to show you who's boss, wants to make you submit to him.
"Now put some fucking clothes on and stay out of my way," he growls, giving your arm a rough shake. "And if I hear that music again, there will be consequences."
Jacaerys' grip is rough as he grabs your arm, and you can feel his nails digging into your skin. You grit your teeth, trying to suppress the wince of pain. His closeness is suffocating, his hot breath on your face making you light-headed.
"Get. Out." You spit the words at him, ripping your arm free. The movement leaves angry red marks on your skin, a physical reminder of his bruising hold.
In the past, you would have run straight to Dad. His presence loomed large, always ready to swoop in and protect you. But not this time. The air between you is different now, charged with a new dynamic since his relationship with Jace's mother. No, Dad won't interfere this time.
You are on your own.
Something stirs inside you. A spark of anger, of determination. You won't let him bully you, won't let him treat you like you're nothing just because it's his house.
A smirk plays at the corners of your mouth as a plan takes shape in your mind. Oh, you'll make him pay for this. You'll make him regret ever laying a hand on you.
"Now," you hiss, your voice low and dangerous. "Get out of my room before I scream. And if you ever touch me again, I will cut your dick off and fuck your face with it."
You watch as he hesitates, his eyes flashing with rage and something else, something you can't quite place. But he backs down, turning and storming out of the room.
You slam the door behind him, leaning against it heavily. Your heart races and your breaths come in short gasps. This isn't over. Not by a long shot. But for now, you've made your stand. And you will get the better of him.
Jace storms out of your room, slamming the door behind him with a loud bang that echoes through the hallway. His hands are shaking, his heart racing. He can still feel the heat of your skin under his fingers, and can still smell the intoxicating aroma of your perfume.
"Fuck!" he shouts, punching the wall in frustration. Pain shoots through his hand, but he barely notices. All he can think about is you - your defiance, your attitude, your goddamn body.
He knows he shouldn't have touched you, knows he crossed a line. But he couldn't help himself. You were just so... there, so tempting. And he hates himself for it.
Jace takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He can't let you get to him like this, can't let you see that you have any kind of power over him. He's the one in charge, not you.
But even as he tells himself this, he knows it's not true. You have a hold over him, a power he can't quite explain. And it terrifies him.
He stalks back to his room, slamming the door behind him. He needs to clear his head and focus on something elseâanything else.
But as he sits down at his desk, trying to force himself to concentrate on his homework, all he can think about is you. The way you looked at him, the way you smelled, the way your skin felt under his fingers.
He groans in frustration, burying his face in his hands. This is going to be a long night.
Jace slammed the door and before you could think, you were screaming, hurling the nearest object you could grab - your half-empty water glass - right at the wooden barrier separating you. It shatters on impact, scattering shards across the floor.
You pant heavily, your vision swimming with a red haze of fury. Those red marks on your arm are a throbbing reminder of his cruelty. How dare he lay a finger on you, how dare he treat you like you're just some nuisance to be dealt with.
Cursing under your breath, you go to clean up the pieces of glass, hissing as a few sharp slivers embed themselves in your fingertips. It hurts, but you grit your teeth and keep sweeping.
Tomorrow, you vow to yourself. Tomorrow, he's gonna learn not to underestimate you. And there's no one to stop you this time. No dad to intervene, no mom to play peacemaker, and no Lucerys to come to his defence.
Just you. And you know exactly how to make him pay. That smug, cocky expression on his face will be wiped right off when you're through with him. He'll be begging for mercy.
A wicked smile curls your lips as you imagine all the ways you can make Jace suffer. Oh, it's gonna be so satisfying to bring him to his knees. He'll regret the day he ever laid a hand on you.
Jace hears the crash of glass, followed by your muffled screaming. He knows you're angry, knows he pushed you too far. But he can't bring himself to care. All he can think about is the feel of your skin. It's driving him crazy.
He paces his room, his mind racing with thoughts of you. He hates you, but he can't deny the attraction he feels. It's eating him alive, consuming every thought. He's never felt this way before, never been so torn between lust and disdain.
Jace stops in front of his mirror, staring at his reflection. He looks like shit - his hair is a mess, his eyes are wild. He looks like he's losing his mind. And maybe he is. Because all he can think about is you, touching you, claiming you as his own.
He slams his fist against the wall, feeling the sting of pain in his knuckles. But it's not enough. Nothing is enough to quench this fire burning inside him. He needs you, needs to overpower you, needs to take you like an animal and make you into an obedient bunny.
Jace strips off his shirt, revealing his toned chest and abs. He's been working out like crazy lately, trying to blow off steam. But it's not working. Nothing is working. Except the thought of you, naked and helpless under him.
He reaches down, palming himself through his shorts. He's already hard, already aching for release. But he knows it won't be enough. Nothing will be enough until he has you.
Jace collapses onto his bed, his body tense with need. He wants to hate you, wants to push you away. But he can't. All he can do is lie here, imagining all the ways he's going to make you his.
His cock is hard and aching, straining against the confines of his boxers. He reaches down, stroking himself slowly, imagining it's your hand on him instead of his own.
Jace groans, his hips thrusting up into his hand as he imagines you touching him. In his mind, you're naked and wet, your body pressed against his, your lips trailing kisses down his chest.
"Fuck," he moans, his name for you falling from his lips like a prayer. He's always tried to resist you, always tried to push you away. But now, he can't fight it any longer. He needs you, needs to feel you, needs to claim you as his own.
He thinks about barging into your room again, pinning you against the wall, tearing your clothes off with his bare hands. He wants to touch you, to taste you, to make you scream his name in pleasure and pain.
Jace speeds up his strokes, his cock throbbing in his hand. He's close, so fucking close. Just a little more and he'll explode, will paint his chest with his seed like a fucking teenage boy.
"Oh, yes, fuck," he pants, his eyes rolling back in his head as he imagines you riding him, your tits bouncing in his face. He wants to grab them, to suck on your nipples until you're begging for more.
With a final groan, Jace comes, his cock pulsing in his hand as he shoots his load all over his stomach. He lies there for a moment, catching his breath, his body still tingling with pleasure.
Unable to drift off, you pop a melatonin and collapse onto the bed, giddy with anticipation for tomorrow. You just have to act normal and bide your time patiently. With your mind foggy from the drowsiness, you struggle to recall clever quotes about patience. Ah well, you'll just have to exercise some restraint until the moment is right. Tomorrow, Jace will get a taste of his own medicine.
The next morning, Jace wakes up feeling groggy and exhausted. He can still feel the ache in his cock, the memory of his fantasy still fresh in his mind. He rolls over, burying his face in his pillow to muffle a groan.
He knows he shouldn't have done that, knows he shouldn't be thinking about you that way. But he can't help it. You're always on his mind, always tempting him, always challenging him.
Jace gets out of bed, and heads to the bathroom to shower. As he strips off his clothes, he catches sight of the cum stains on his boxers from last night. He feels a sense of shame washes over him, followed by a surge of anger.
"Fuck," he mutters, balling up the underwear and throwing it in the hamper. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
He turns on the shower, letting the hot water cascade over his body. But even as he scrubs himself clean, he can't shake the thoughts of you from his mind. He imagines you in the shower with him, your hands sliding over his slick skin, your lips on his neck.
Jace groans, his cock stiffening again. He reaches down, wrapping his hand around it, stroking it slowly. He thinks about you, about how you'll look when he finally breaks you when he makes you submit to him completely.
He's close, so fucking close, when he hears a knock at the bathroom door.
"Jace, hurry up!" his brother Lucerys calls out. "We're leaving!"
Jace curses under his breath, releasing his cock reluctantly. He finishes his shower quickly, towelling off in a hurry. As he heads to his room to get dressed, getting ready to bid his brother and parents goodbye, he wonders what kind of shit you'll pull today.
You head downstairs as well, your heart fluttering with excitement as you watch your family leave for their weekend trip. You give them each a quick hug, your smile a little too bright, your eyes a little too eager. They say their goodbyes, reminding Jace and you to study hard for your upcoming finals.
You turn to Jace, who's engrossed in conversation with Lucerys. You seize your chance. Slipping into the kitchen, you retrieve the Viagra pill you'd tucked away in your pocket earlier. Your hands shake slightly as you open the capsule, pouring the powdered contents into Jace's glass of coffee. You stir it smoothly, erasing any trace of your tampering.
A wicked smile plays across your lips as you picture what will happen next. Jace, oblivious, will gulp down his spiked drink, blissfully unaware of the chemical coursing through his veins. And when the effects hit, oh, how delicious his suffering will be. The smug boy finally brought low by his own lust, enslaved by a desire he can't control.
Part of you feels a twinge of guilt for drugging him without consent, but your desire for revenge overshadows it.
Jace finishes his breakfast, gulping down the last of his coffee. As he starts to work on his History paper, he feels a strange sensation wash over him, a tingling warmth spreading through his body. He stands up, heading to the sink to rinse his cup.
But as he walks, he feels a sudden tightness in his groin. He looks down, shocked to see his cock hardening in his pants. What the fuck? He hasn't even seen you yet, and he's already hard? He can barely walk, his legs trembling with the effort of holding back his orgasm.
"Fuck," he groans, pressing his thighs together. His cock is rock hard, throbbing painfully against his zipper. He can feel it pulsing, almost like a heartbeat.
He stumbles back to the sofa, sitting down heavily. He can feel his heart racing, his skin flushed with heat. He knows he shouldn't be feeling this way, knows he should be focused on anything but you. But he can't help it. All he can think about is you, about your body, about fucking you until you scream.
Jace shifts in his seat, trying to adjust himself discreetly. But it's no use. His cock is throbbing, aching for release. He looks around, making sure you are nowhere near.
"Fuck," he mutters, reaching down to palm himself through his jeans. He knows he shouldn't be doing this, and knows he should stop before he loses control. But he can't. He needs to cum, needs to relieve the pressure building inside him. Jace is a mess. His cock is leaking steadily, soaking through his boxers and making a damp spot on his jeans.Â
He slides his hand into his pants, pulling his cock out and wrapping his hand around it. He's so hard it hurts, so fucking horny he can barely think straight. He starts stroking himself, biting his lip to keep from making a sound.
Jace's mind is filled with thoughts of you, of your body, of your touch. He imagines you walking in on him like this, seeing the shock in your eyes as you realize what he's doing. He pictures you dropping to your knees, taking his cock in your mouth like a good little slut.
"Oh, fuck," he moans, his hips thrusting up into his hand. He's so close, so fucking close. Just a little more and he'll explode.
You crouch behind the wall on the staircase, eyeing Jace through the gap. There he is, the always arrogant Jacaerys, pumping himself like a horny teenager. You can't help but smirk, feeling a thrill at seeing him so undone. But you can't ignore the dampening between your legs at the sight of his toned arm wrapped around his thick shaft...No! You shake your head.Â
You need to stick to the plan.
You stride into the living room, calling out in mock shock, "Ew! Seriously?!" You point accusingly at his hard leaking cock in his fist. "So I'm a 'cheap whore' for dancing in my room, but you can just whip it out and whack off anywhere?!"
You lay into him mercilessly, your voice dripping with disdain. "What are you, some kind of sick pervert? Jerking off where your innocent step-sister could walk in on you? God, you're disgusting!"
You know you shouldn't take such delight in humiliating him, but you can't help the wicked satisfaction curling within you as you watch his face flush with shame and anger. He looks like a scolded child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"Get your act together, Jace," you scold, your voice laced with faux-concern. "This isn't appropriate behaviour."
Jace's eyes widen in shock as he hears your voice, his heart pounding. He's caught, exposed, his worst nightmare come true. He scrambles to cover himself, his face burning with shame and anger.
"Get out!" he shouts, his voice cracking with embarrassment. "Get the fuck out of here!"
But you don't move, just stand there with that smug look on your face. He can see the evil glint in your eyes, the way you're looking at him like he's some kind of pervert.
"Fuck you," he spits, his cock still throbbing painfully in his hand. "This is none of your business."
But even as he says it, he knows it's a lie. Everything about him is your business now, whether he likes it or not. You're in his life, in his head, in his fucking cock. And he hates it, hates you, hates everything about this situation.
He looks down at his crotch, seeing the wet spot on his toned stomach, the sticky strands of precum leaking from his tip. He feels like a fucking animal, like a dog in heat. And you're standing there, watching him, judging him.
"Get out," he growls, his voice low and dangerous. "Get the fuck out of here before I lose my temper."
But even as he says it, he knows it's a hollow threat. He's too weak, too desperate.
Jace's hand is still wrapped around his dick, his fingers slick with pre-cum. He can feel it dripping down his shaft, making a sticky mess of his boxers. He's so fucking hard it hurts, so desperate to cum that he can barely think straight.
"Just leave me alone," he growls, his voice low and dangerous. "Or I'll make you leave."
You bite your lip, looking at his aching cock, making a mess all over himself. "Aww..." you coo, pouting your pink lips. "Look at you, you're so horny, you can't even think straight. Your cock is leaking all over you."
You tease him with faux regard, your eyes gleaming with amusement. "What a mess you are, Jace. You really need to learn some self-control."
Jace glares at you, his eyes narrowing with anger and embarrassment. He can feel the heat rising in his cheeks, the shame burning through his body. He knows he looks pathetic, and knows that you're enjoying every second of his humiliation.
"Shut up," he snarls, his hand tightening around his cock. "Just shut the fuck up."
But even as he says it, he can't tear his eyes away from you. You're so fucking beautiful, so perfect in every way. And you're staring at him like he's some kind of freak, some kind of pervert.
He wants to hate you, wants to push you away, wants to make you suffer for what you've done to him. But he can't. All he can do is stare at you, his heart pounding in his chest, his cock throbbing in his hand.
"Fucking slut," he mutters, his voice low and vicious. "I bet you love this, don't you? Love seeing me like this, all pathetic and desperate."
His hand is moving faster now, stroking his cock with frantic, needy movements. He's so close, so fucking close to exploding. He just needs a little more, just a little more friction.
"I bet you're getting wet right now," he growls, his eyes locked on yours. "I bet you're picturing me fucking you, aren't you? Fucking you like the dirty whore you are."
He's not thinking straight, not thinking at all. All he can focus on is you, your body, your touch. He needs you, needs to dominate you, needs to make you submit to him completely.
"Come here," he demands, his voice rough with desire. "Get on your fucking knees and suck my cock like a good little slut."
He knows it's a mistake, knows he shouldn't be saying this. But he can't help it. The drug is clouding his mind, making him say and do things he never would normally do.
"Do it," he commands, his voice harsh and demanding. "Get over here and put that pretty little mouth to work."
Your breath catches in your throat as Jace's filthy words wash over you. You can feel the heat pooling between your legs, your panties growing damp with arousal. You never expected this, never thought he would affect you like this.
"N-no," you stammer, your voice trembling. You press your thighs together, trying to ignore the ache building in your core. You shouldn't want this, shouldn't want him. But you do, so badly.
You can feel your nipples hardening beneath your shirt. You know you should leave, should get away from him before it's too late. But you can't seem to make your feet move.
You can feel your juices trickling down your thighs, your panties clinging to your slick folds. You're so wet, so desperate for his touch. You know you should be disgusted by your desires, but you can't be. Not when Jace is looking at you like that, his eyes dark with lust and hunger.
Jace's eyes are burning with desire, his gaze raking over your body like he wants to devour you whole. He can see the way your nipples are hardening beneath your shirt, the way your breasts are swelling with need. He knows you're turned on, knows you want him just as badly as he wants you.
"Fuck," he growls, his hand speeding up on his cock. "You're so fucking hot. I bet you're dripping wet right now, aren't you? Bet you're aching for my cock."
He spreads his legs wider, giving you a clear view of his throbbing cock. It's swollen and red, the tip dripping with pre-cum. He knows it would feel so good inside your tight pussy, stretching you, filling you, claiming you.
He takes a step towards you, his hips thrusting into his hand. His cock is throbbing, dripping with pre-cum.
"Get on your knees and worship me," he demands, his eyes burning into yours. "Show me how much you want it. Show me how much you need my cock."
He knows it's immoral, knows he shouldn't be saying these things. But he can't stop, can't control himself. The medication is making him wild, making him say and do things he never would before.
He knows it's a challenge, and knows that you won't be able to resist. He can see the way your eyes are locked on his cock, the way your tongue is darting out to wet your lips.
"Come and get it," he taunts, his voice thick with desire. "Come and show me how much you want to be my little cock sleeve."
"Do it," he demands, his eyes boring into yours. "Get on your knees and suck my fucking cock."
He's moving closer now, his cock bobbing obscenely in front of him. He can smell your arousal and can see the way your body is shaking with need.
"Fucking. Do. It," he snarls, his hand tightening around his shaft. "Or I'll fucking make you."
He's so close, so fucking close to losing control completely. If you don't obey him, if you don't give him what he needs, he might just snap. Might just grab you and take what he wants, consequences be damned.
He's going to make you submit to him, make you his own personal fuck toy. He's going to use you, abuse you, make you beg for his cock.
"Now," he snarls, his hand tightening around his shaft. "Before I lose my fucking patience."
You take a small step back, shaking your head as if to clear it. "No, Jace... this is wrong," you say, trying to sound firm even as your body betrays you. Fuck, why does he have to be so hot? Every fibre of your being is screaming at you to drop to your knees and worship that massive cock.
The sight of Jace stroking himself, his eyes dark with lust, is enough to make your head spin. You want him so badly, want to feel that thick shaft stretching your throat, fucking your face until you're gagging and drooling all over yourself.
But you can't. You won't. No matter how much your body craves it, you know this is wrong. He's your stepbrother, for fuck's sake. You can't do this, can't cross this line.
You take another step back, your heart pounding in your chest. You were so close to giving in, so close to letting all of your inhibitions melt away.
"Jace, please," you say, your voice barely above a whisper. "We can't do this. It's not right." Trying to sound commanding, but it sounds like a pathetic whimper.
Jace's eyes narrow, his jaw clenching with anger. He can't believe you're rejecting him, can't believe you're turning him down after everything his family has done for you. He's been nothing but patient to you, nothing but kind and generous. And this is how you repay him? By denying him what he needs most?
"Fuck you," he spits, his hand tensing around his cock. "You think you're better than me? Think you can just walk away?"
He takes a step towards you, his eyes burning with rage. He knows you're unconvinced. But he doesn't care. All he cares about is his own need, his own desperate hunger.
"I own you," he growls, his voice low and dangerous. "You belong to me. And I won't let you go until I'm satisfied."
He lunges forward, grabbing you by the wrist and yanking you towards him. He pulls you close, his body pressing against yours, his cock rubbing against your stomach.
"You're mine," he whispers, his breath hot against your ear. "I'll fucking violate your throat until you're begging for more. And you'll enjoy every second of it."
He shoves you to your knees, his hand tangling in your hair. He pulls your head back, forcing you to look up at him.
"Open your mouth," he demands, his cock pressing against your lips. "Put that pretty little mouth to work and show me how sorry you are."
You stare up at Jace with wide, shocked eyes. The sweet, charming stepbrother that you know has transformed into someone so cruel, so aggressive. But despite yourself, you can't deny the slick pooling between your thighs at his vulgar words and forceful actions.
With trembling fingers, you place your hands on his muscular thighs, steadying yourself. Slowly, obediently, you part your pink, glossy lips and stick out your tongue, offering your mouth to him. Your heart pounds wildly in anticipation of what he might do.
Jace grins down at you, his eyes gleaming with triumph and dark lust. He grips your hair tighter, practically yanking you forward to take his throbbing cock. "That's it, slut. Open wide for your stepbrother."
He slaps his heavy, veiny shaft against your cheek and lips, smearing sticky pre-cum on your soft skin. The musky scent of his arousal fills your nostrils. "Mmm, yeah, gonna train you with my dick. Gonna wreck your throat with it."
Grabbing your jaw, Jace forces his fat cockhead past your lips, stretching them obscenely. "Ffffuck..." he groans at the tight, wet heat engulfing him. He bucks his hips, ramming several inches of thick cockmeat down your throat.
Your eyes bulge and water as he hits the back of your throat, making you gag and sputter around his invading length. Drool leaks from the corners of your stretched mouth. Jace's heavy balls smack against your chin.
"Take it, bitch!" he snarls, eyes wild with lust. "Choke on my fucking cock! Gonna use your throat like a fleshlight." He yanks your head forward, burying his dick to the hilt in your convulsing oesophagus.
Holding you in place, Jace starts savagely pistoning his hips, sawing his huge cock in and out of your abused throat. Your eyes roll back, drool splattering your tits as he uses your face like a cocksleeve. "Ungh, fuck, so good!" he grunts, grunting and sweating. "Best. Throat. Ever!"
Spit-roasted and choking, you can only gurgle helplessly as he breaks your throat. "Look at me," he demands, his voice rough with lust. "Look at me while I fuck your throat."
You force your eyes open, looking up at him through your tears. He's looking down at you with a wild, feral expression, his eyes burning with a hunger that terrifies and thrills you.
"You like this, don't you?" he asks, his voice low and cruel. "Like being used like a fucking toy. Like being my personal cum dumpster."
He pulls out suddenly, his cock slipping from your lips. You gasp for air, coughing and sputtering. But before you can recover, he's shoving back in, fucking your throat with renewed vigour.
"I'm going to ruin you," he promises, his hand tightening in your hair. "I'm going to fuck you until you can't remember your own name. Until you're nothing but a set of holes for me to use."
You moan around his thick cock, the vibrations travelling up his shaft as your throat constricts around him. Wet, obscene noises fill the room - the sloppy sounds of spit and drool as he uses your mouth like a disposable fucktoy
Gasping desperately, you pull off his cock for a moment, lungs burning. You gaze up at him with huge, tearful eyes, mascara smeared down your flushed cheeks. "Jace..." you whine pathetically, your voice is scratchy and broken.
You trail your delicate fingers along his chiselled abdomen and strong thighs, a soft apology. Your nails lightly scrape his heated skin, silently pleading for mercy. But your sorrowful puppy dog eyes hold a dark, masochistic thrill - you love being used like his personal fleshlight.
Jace chuckles darkly, his hand still fisted in your hair. "You look so cute when you're choking on my cock," he sneers. "Like a pretty little whore. My pretty girl."
He tugs your head forward, forcing you back onto his massive dick. Your nose presses against his pubic bone as he bottoms out in your throat.
"No more talking," Jace growls. "Just take it like a good little step-slut."
He starts face-fucking you with cruel intensity, hips slapping against your face. Drool pours from your stretched lips, making a further mess of your tits. He yanks your hair, forcing you to deepthroat him over and over.
"Fuck yes, gag on it," he pants harshly. "Choke on your stepbrother's fat cock."
Spit sprays from your mouth as he ruthlessly pounds your throat. Your eyes squeeze shut, tears streaming down your face. But you look up at him with a perverse, masochistic adoration.
Jace leers down at you wickedly. "Take it all, you filthy throat slut. Milk my cock with your whore throat."
He holds your head down, burying his dick as deep as it can go. Your throat spasms around him, convulsing as you struggle for air. But he keeps you pinned, using your mouth like a warm, wet fleshlight.
Pulling out suddenly, Jace rips you off his cock. A flood of drool and pre-cum pours out of your used hole. You gasp and splutter, trying to catch your breath.
"You love this, don't you?" Jace sneers, his voice dripping with disdain. "Love being treated like a cheap fucktoy. Like a set of holes for me to use."
He slaps your cheek with his wet, veiny cock. "Go on, slut. Clean my dick."
You obediently wrap your lips around his cockhead, suckling gently. You lap up the mixture of pre-cum and saliva, savouring the taste of his essence.
"Mmmm..." you moan around his leaking tip.
Jace shudders as your tongue swirls around his sensitive cockhead, your lips making little kisses along his shaft. "Ohh fuck, that's it," he groans. "Youâve done this before, havenât you? On your knees for some man who just wants to use you for your mouth and ass?â
You whimper softly as you clean Jace's thick shaft with your tongue, slurping up the mix of your spit and his pre-cum. Your eyes flutter shut as you lose yourself in the sensation.
But his degrading words sting, making you scowl around his throbbing cock. You want to show him how much more experienced you are than he realizes.
Releasing his dick from your lips with a wet pop, you shift to nuzzle his heavy, cum-filled balls. Your tongue darts out to lap at the wrinkled skin, stroking his veiny shaft at the same time.
"Ohh Jace," you coo sultrily, your warm breath washing over his sensitive sack. "Do you want to cum on your pretty little sister's face? Be a dirty pervert and paint me like a cheap whore?"
You roll his big balls in your mouth, suckling gently as you pump his cock with your soft hand. Your fingertips dance teasingly over his weeping slit, making him twitch and throb.
"Mmmm...I'll be such a good girl for you, brother. Just tell me where you want to cum. My mouth? My tits? All over my slutty face?"
Jace groans, his head falling back as you worship his most intimate areas. Your warm, wet mouth and soft hands feel amazing on his heavy sack and throbbing cock.
"F-fuck..." he stammers, his eyes squeezing shut. "You're so good at this. Have you practised much? On your ex-boyfriends?"
His abs flex as you tongue his balls, your hand pumping his slick shaft. "Dirty girl," he pants. "Bet you've sucked off lots of boys before. Bet you love it."
You glance up at him through your lashes, your eyes dark with lust. "Maybe I have," you purr, your hand speeding up. "Maybe I can't control myself around big, hard cocks. Maybe I just need to be filled up and used like the slut I am."
Jace groans, his cock throbbing in your soft hand as your tongue and lips worship his heavy balls. The sight of you nuzzling and sucking them, combined with the depraved words tumbling from your lips, has his cock swelling even larger.
You release his balls with a wet pop, gazing up at him with sultry bedroom eyes. "I've dreamed about your cock, brother," you purr, pumping his shaft slowly. "Imagined you bending me over and fucking me like you own me."
"Fuck," he pants, his hips rocking slightly into your touch. "You're such a dirty little slut. Begging for your own stepbrother's cum."
He reaches down to fist his hand in your hair, guiding your head to his groin. "Open up, whore. Let me feed you my cock."
You obey eagerly, parting your glossy lips to accept his thick meat. He slides over your tongue, the salty taste of his pre-cum flooding your mouth.
Jace starts fucking your face, his balls slapping against your spit-slick chin with each thrust. "Take it all, you filthy cumslut," he growls. "Choke on your stepbrother's fat cock."
Tears prick at the corners of your eyes as he hits the back of your throat repeatedly, but you moan wantonly around his pistoning shaft. Drool leaks from the corners of your stretched lips, making a sticky mess of your chin and breasts.
"Mmmph!" you hum, the vibrations driving Jace wild. His grip tightens painfully in your hair as he starts bucking into your mouth with reckless abandon.
"Ohh fuuuck!" Jace throws his head back with a guttural groan. "Gonna fucking bust! Gonna paint your whore face with my load!"
With a final, brutal thrust, he buries his cock in your throat and unloads his seed directly into your belly. Hot spurts of thick, sticky cum shoot down your throat as he empties his heavy balls.
You whimper as Jace pulls his spent cock from your throat. Globs of his thick cum spill from your lips, dripping down your chin and onto your already ruined shirt. The fabric clings to your skin, damp with spit and his precum.
Wiping the cum from your face with trembling fingers, you bring them to your mouth and suck them clean with a sinful moan. Your body is on fire, desperate for more despite the ache in your throat.
You peel off your soiled top with quivering hands, revealing your perky tits glistening with dried fluids. Your pert nipples stiffen in the cool air, aching to be touched. You toss the shirt aside carelessly, uncaring of your state of undress.
You know he's not done with you yet. The drug has him in its thrall now, his need insatiable. Your pussy throbs, empty and needy. You present yourself to him, ready to be used again and again for his pleasure.
Jace drinks in the sight of your half-naked body, his eyes dark with lust and something more sinister. He circles you slowly, drinking in every curve and dip of your lithe form. His gaze lingers on your pert breasts, the peaks already pebbled with arousal.
He trails a single finger down your spine, leaving goosebumps in its wake. You shiver and arch into his touch, craving more. Jace chuckles lowly, the sound sending tingles across your skin.
"So desperate for it," he purrs, his breath hot against your ear. "So eager to be filled by your own stepbrother's cock. What a dirty little slut you are."
His hand snakes around your waist, pulling you flush against his muscular body. You can feel his renewed erection pressing insistently against your ass, hard and heavy. He grinds against you, letting you feel exactly what he wants to do to you.
Jace's fingers dance across your sensitive skin, tracing teasing patterns over your hips and thighs. He nips at your earlobe, tugging it between his teeth. "Beg for it," he growls, his voice rough with desire. "Beg me to fuck you like the filthy cumslut you are."
His words make you burn with shame and need, a combination that has you dizzy with want. You've never been spoken to like this before, treated like a piece of meat to be used for someone else's pleasure. But, god help you, you love it. Love being degraded and objectified by the man you've secretly craved for so long.
"Please Jace," you whimper, grinding back against his rigid length. "Please fuck me. I need it so bad. I need you to split me open on your big cock and make me yours."
Your shameless begging seems to inflame him further. With a low groan, Jace fists your hair, pushing you face-first onto the couch.
He looms over you, his eyes wild and hungry. "I'm going to ruin you," he promises darkly as he rips off your flimsy shorts and panties.
You yelp as Jace roughly pushes you down, your glistening holes exposed to his hungry gaze. Your cheeks burn with embarrassment as you feel his eyes devouring your most intimate places, watching the way they twitch and flutter with need. You can feel your arousal coating your inner thighs, your desperate cunt clenching around nothing.
Your breath comes in shallow gasps, your mind reeling with a mix of shame and desire. You've never been so vulnerable before, so utterly at someone else's mercy. And yet, you've never wanted anything more than you want Jace to claim you in this moment, to make you his in every way possible.
You can feel his eyes raking over your body, taking in every curve and dip of your quivering form. It's as if he's memorizing every inch of you. You squirm under the intensity of his stare, your skin prickling with goosebumps.
"Please," you whimper, your voice barely above a whisper. "Please Jace, I need you. I need you to split me open on your fat cock. I want to become your personal fleshlight, you can use me whenever you want, please."
Jace growls low in his throat, the sound sending shivers down your spine. He runs his rough palm over the globes of your ass, squeezing the supple flesh. "Such a desperate little slut," he taunts, giving your cheek a sharp smack. "So eager to be used like a cheap whore."
You cry out at the sudden sting, your pussy clenching hungrily. Jace chuckles cruelly, rubbing the reddening skin. "You like that, don't you? Like being marked and claimed by your stepbrother."
He spreads your cheeks wider, exposing your twitching holes to his ravenous gaze. "Look at you, dripping for me already. Your cunt is practically begging to be fucked."
Jace notches the swollen head of his cock against your entrance, the blunt tip nudging your sensitive folds. "Brace yourself, slut," he warns, his voice a dark promise. "I'm going to fucking destroy this sweet little pussy."
With that, he slams his hips forward, burying his massive length inside you in one brutal thrust. You scream at the sudden intrusion, your body stretched to its limits around his girth. It feels like he's splitting you in half, the thick cockhead kissing your cervix.
Jace doesn't give you any time to adjust, immediately setting a punishing pace. He pounds into you with animalistic eagerness, the obscene sound of skin slapping against skin filling the room. The couch creaks dangerously beneath you, rocking with the force of his thrusts.
"Fuck, so tight," he rasps, his hips never faltering. "Gonna ruin you for anyone else. No one will ever make you feel as good as I do."
You can only whimper and moan, your mind short-circuiting with pleasure. It's too much, too intense. The feel of him claiming you so thoroughly, owning your body in the most primal way possible. It's everything you've ever wanted, even if you're too ashamed to admit it.
"Oh god, oh fuck!" You wail, your voice cracking with ecstasy. Jace's fat cock is stretching you beyond belief, filling you so completely that you can barely breathe. It feels like he's in your throat, splitting you open from the inside.
Tears leak from the corners of your eyes as he pounds into you mercilessly, the couch groaning beneath your combined weight. You can't believe how good it feels, how right. Like you were made to be used by him, and him alone.
In your pleasure-drunk haze, the words spill from your lips without thought. "You're even bigger than your best friend," you moan dazedly, clenching around his pistoning length. "Fuck, you're ruining my pussy!"
The moment the comparison leaves your mouth, you realize your mistake.
Jace stills, his hips still buried deep inside you. "What did you just say?" he asks quietly, a dangerous edge to his voice.
Realization dawns on you, horrified. Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why did you say THAT?! Now he knows! Now he'll stop, now he'll pull out and leave you empty and aching and you can't let that happen!
"I didn't mean it," you babble, desperate. "I was just saying stuff, I didn't mean anything by it!"
Jace pulls out abruptly, his cock slipping from your clenching hole with a lewd noise. You whimper at the loss, your body already missing his thick meat.
But then he's flipping you over, pushing you down onto your back. He looms over you, his eyes dark and fathomless. One large hand wraps around your throat, applying just enough pressure to make you gasp.
"Who?" he asks, his voice low and menacing. "Who have you fucked? Who else has had this sweet little cunt?"
His other hand reaches down, his fingers brushing over your swollen, sensitive folds. You buck your hips instinctively, seeking more of his touch.
"Tell me," he commands, tightening his grip slightly. "Tell me who you've spread your legs for. I want names, pet."
You swallow hard, your heart pounding in your chest. You can't tell him the truth, can't admit to all the boys you've let use you. He'll hate you, he'll see you as nothing more than a dirty whore.
But then again, isn't that exactly what you are? A filthy cumslut desperate for any cock that will have you? Maybe this is your chance to finally be honest, to let him see the real you.
"I...I've fucked a lot of people," you whisper, your eyes downcast. "Guys from school, random hookups. I've let them all use me, brother. I'm nothing but a horny slut."
Jace's hand tightens around your throat, cutting off your air. "Did you enjoy it?"
You can barely breathe with Jace's hand around your throat, cutting off your air supply. Your lungs burn, and your vision starts to blur at the edges. But even through the haze of oxygen deprivation, you can feel the heat pooling in your core, your treacherous body responding to his show of dominance.
"Y-yes," you manage to choke out, your voice strained. "I loved it. Loved being used like a cheap whore, like a set of holes for them to fuck."
Jace's eyes flash with something dark and dangerous. His grip on your throat tightens even more, making spots dance across your vision. "Did you let them cum inside you? Fill you up with their seed like the dirty cumslut you are?"
You nod frantically, tears streaming down your face. "Yes, brother. So many times. I wanted to be claimed. Please, please fuck me. Use me like they did. I'm your filthy slut, yours to ruin."
Jace releases your throat abruptly, letting you gasp and cough, drawing in desperate gulps of air. He flips you back over onto your hands and knees, your ass presented to him like a bitch in heat.
"Spread yourself," he commands, giving your rear a sharp smack. "I want to see those slutty holes that have been so eagerly fucked."
You obey immediately, reaching back to spread your cheeks wide. Your swollen pussy lips glisten with arousal, your puckered asshole twitching hungrily. You're so empty, aching to be filled, to be used like the cum-hungry whore you are.
"Please, Jace," you beg, your voice trembling with desperate need. "I'm yours, only yours. No one can make me feel as good as you do."
You jiggle your round ass, spreading your cheeks to expose your soaked holes to his hungry gaze. Slick arousal trickles down your inner thighs, your pussy clenching around nothing, aching to be filled.
"I'll be your personal fucktoy, your cocksleeve to use whenever you want. Just please, fill me up again. I need your big cock stretching me open, claiming me as yours."
Your eyes are pleading, your body shaking with need. You've never felt so vulnerable, so utterly at someone's mercy. But you trust Jace, know that he'll give you exactly what you crave.
"No one else will ever touch me again," you promise, your voice breaking. "I'm yours, brother. Yours to fuck, yours to fill with your seed. I'll be the best little cockwarmer you've ever had."
Jace's eyes darken with lust as you present yourself to him so wantonly, your trembling body an offering to his basest desires. He drinks in the sight of your glistening folds, swollen and desperate for his touch.
"Such an obedient little slut," he purrs, trailing his fingers through your slick heat. "So eager to be bred by your own stepbrother, fucking dirty incest whore."
He notches the swollen head of his cock against your entrance, teasing you with the promise of fullness. Your hips buck back instinctively, trying to impale yourself on his thick length.
But Jace holds you in place, his grip bruising on your hips. "Ah ah, pet. You'll take my cock when I give it to you. Not a second sooner."
He drags the blunt tip through your folds, coating himself in your arousal. Each pass of his cockhead sends sparks of electricity racing up your spine, your body singing with need.
"Please," you whimper, tears of frustration leaking from your eyes. "Please, Jace. I can't take it anymore. I need you inside me, need you to fill me up."
With a satisfied growl, Jace lines himself up and thrusts forward, burying his massive length in your aching cunt again in one brutal stroke. You scream as he splits you open, your walls stretching to accommodate his girth. It's almost too much, the delicious burn of being filled so completely.
Jace sets a punishing pace, pounding into you with deep, powerful strokes. The wet slap of skin on skin echoes through the room, punctuated by your whiny moans and his grunts of effort.
"Take it, you filthy whore," he snarls, slamming into you. "Take my fucking cock like the cum-hungry slut you are. This is where you belong, speared on your stepbrother's dick."
It truly was, and you wouldn't change a thing about it. The degradation, the filthy words falling from his lips, the way he uses your body for his pleasure. You've never felt so complete, so utterly owned.
"I lo-ove your f-fucking cock," you sob brokenly, your fingers digging into the soft cushions of the couch. Drool spills from your slack lips and your eyes roll back in your head as Jace pounds into you with brutal force.
You're lost, drowning in a sea of pleasure, your mind short-circuiting under the onslaught of sensation. His thick cock stretches you impossibly wide, the wet slap of skin on skin filling your ears. You can't think, can't breathe, you can only focus on the feel of him splitting you open over and over again.
"Fuck, Jace!" You wail, your body convulsing around his pistoning length. "You're ruining me! Oh god, don't stop, please don't ever stop!"
Your hips rock back to meet his thrusts, desperate for more. You've never felt so full. At this moment, you're not even a person, just a hole for Jace to fuck.
You clench your hole around him, trying to milk his cock for all it's worth. You want him to use you, to fill you with his cum until you're leaking with it. You want to be his personal fucktoy, to exist solely for his pleasure.
You moan, your voice is ragged and broken. "All yours, big brother. Ruin me, break me, I can take it. Just please, please don't stop fucking me!"
Jace's thrusts become erratic, his cock pulsing inside you as he nears his peak. He leans forward, pressing his sweat-slicked body against your back. One hand fists in your hair, yanking your head back as he growls in your ear.
"Gonna fill this slutty cunt up," he pants, his hips snapping forward even harder. "Gonna breed you like the filthy whore you are. You want that, pet? Want to be knocked up by your stepbrother's seed?"
The thought sends a shockwave of lust through you, your already tight walls clamping down on his pistoning length. You've never wanted anything more, never ached to be claimed in such a primal way.
"Yes," you keen, pushing your hips back to meet his brutal thrusts. "Yes, fuck! Please! I wanna leak with your cum."
Your words seem to shatter the last of Jace's control. With an animalistic roar, he slams into you one final time, burying himself to the hilt. His cock jerks and pulses, painting your insides white with his thick seed.
"Gonna ruin this tight hole," he grunts, slamming into you harder. "Paint these filthy walls with my cum. You'd like that, wouldn't you? To be bred by your own fucking brother?"
You can only moan in response, your tongue lolling out of your mouth as you lose yourself to the relentless pounding of his cock. Your mind is blank, all thoughts consumed by the feel of him inside you, claiming you, owning you.
Jace's balls slap against your sensitive clit with each thrust, the added stimulation pushing you closer to the edge. Your toes curl, your nails scrabbling uselessly at the cushions as your body tenses, ready to shatter.
You scream as your own orgasm crashes over you, your cunt milking him for every last drop. Pleasure explodes behind your eyelids, whiting out your vision as you're consumed by ecstasy.
Jace collapses on top of you, both of you gasping for breath. His softening cock slips from your abused hole, a trickle of cum following in its wake. You can feel it running down your thighs, marking you as his.
As the post-orgasmic haze clears, reality starts to sink in. You just let your stepbrother fuck you raw, just begged him to cum inside. What have you done? What kind of sick, twisted person are you?
Shame and self-loathing wash over you, warring with the afterglow of pleasure. You should feel disgusted, should push Jace away and run as far away from this shame as you can.
When he finally pulls out, you feel empty. Your abused hole gapes obscenely, a trickle of his release leaking out. But Jace isn't done with you.
"We're not done yet, slut," he promises darkly.
"What?" You whisper hoarsely, your body still throbbing in the aftermath of Jace's brutal fucking. But even through the haze of pleasure, truth starts to creep in. You were the one who drugged him, who set this whole thing in motion.
"Wait," you whimper, twisting in his arms to face him. Your lips are swollen, your eyes glazed and unfocused. You can feel his cum leaking out of you. "Jace..."
Jace grabs you by the hips, pulling you flush against his body. His semi-hard cock nestles against your sensitive folds, making you gasp.
"You drugged me," he accuses, his voice low and dangerous. "Slipped something in my drink to make me fuck you. Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"
Your heart pounds in your chest, dread and arousal warring within you. You've been caught, and your sick game exposed. But why does the danger only excite you more?
"I...I'm sorry," you stammer, trying to squirm out of his grasp. But Jace just tightens his grip, his fingers digging into your soft flesh.
"Don't lie to me," he snarls, shaking you roughly. "You wanted this, wanted me to fuck you senseless. Admit it."
He grinds his hips against you, his cock hardening further. You can feel him throbbing against your slick heat, the promise of more pleasure making you dizzy.
Your legs tremble, barely able to support your weight after the brutal pounding Jace just gave you. But it's not just exhaustion making you shake - it's the anticipation, the promise of more in his heated gaze.
"Y-yeah..." you admit meekly, your voice barely above a whisper. "I wanted to embarrass you. Wanted to see you lose control."
You look up at him through your lashes, biting your plump lower lip. "Did it work, big brother? Did I make you forget all about being a gentleman?"
You can feel his cock twitch against your slick folds, already hardening again. The knowledge that you've reduced him to such base lust, that you've corrupted him with your depravity, sends a thrill through you.
With a feral growl, Jace slams your head against the couch, pinning you there. His hands are everywhere, groping and mauling your sensitive flesh.
"You're playing with fire, little sister," he warns, grinding his rock-hard length against your aching core. You can feel him throbbing against you, hot and hard and ready.
Jace leans in, his teeth grazing the shell of your ear. "I should punish you for drugging me, you know. Bend you over my knee and spank that juicy ass until it's red and raw."
He punctuates his words with a sharp smack to your rear, making you yelp and arch into him. Your body craves more of his touch, your pussy clenching on nothing.
"Please," you whimper, too far gone to care how desperate you sound. "Punish me, Jace. I deserve it."
Something dark and hungry flashes in his eyes at your admission. "Filthy little slut," he growls approvingly. "Trust me, I will."
With a vicious smile, Jace scoops you up, throwing you over his shoulder like a sack of flour. He carries you towards his bedroom, his grip unyielding.
You shriek as Jace picks you up, your body going limp in his strong grip. You can feel his muscles flexing beneath your fingers as he throws you over his shoulder like a rag doll, carrying you effortlessly towards his bedroom.
Jace kicks open the door to his room, dumping you unceremoniously onto his bed. You bounce once, twice on the firm mattress before coming to rest on your back. You stare up at him, your chest heaving, your skin flushed and glistening with sweat.
"What are you going to do to me?" You ask breathlessly, your voice barely above a whisper. But you both know the answer.
Jace looms over you, his eyes dark with lust. He crawls onto the bed, covering your smaller body with his own.
"I'm going to ruin you," he promises darkly, his fingers finding your dripping slit. "Gonna fuck this greedy cunt until you're screaming for mercy."
He drives two thick fingers into your tight channel, making you cry out. Your walls clench around the intrusion, trying to suck him deeper.
"So eager," Jace croons, pumping his fingers in and out of your slick heat. "Such a desperate little slut, always hungry for cock."
He curls his fingers just right, hitting that spot that makes you see stars. Pleasure crashes through you, stealing your breath.
"Nngh, fuck!" you moan, your back arching off the bed. Your hips buck into his hand, chasing more of that delicious friction.
Jace just smirks down at you, his eyes gleaming with wicked satisfaction. He knows exactly what he's doing to you, how he's reducing you to a mindless, cock-hungry mess. And god help you, you love every minute of it.
"Beg for it," he demands, scissoring his fingers inside you. "Beg me to fuck you like the desperate little whore you are."
"Please, Jace," you whine, your voice high and needy. "Please fuck me! I need your cock so bad! I'll do anything, be anything, just please use me!"
With a triumphant grin, Jace withdraws his fingers. He lines up his thick length with your entrance, the swollen head nudging against your fluttering hole.
"Since you asked so nicely," he purrs, slamming forward in one brutal thrust.
You scream as he splits you open, the stretch bordering on discomfort. But it's the good kind of pain, the kind that makes your toes curl and your eyes roll back in your head.
Jace's thrusts are relentless, his thick cock pistoning in and out of your stretched hole. Even though he just fucked you, split you open and bred you like a bitch in heat, you can never get enough of him. Of his fat dick stretching you so full, claiming your body as his own personal fucktoy.
You moan like a whore, your voice high and keening as he pounds into you. Thank fuck Dad and his mom and brother aren't home, because the sounds you're making would make a porn star blush. Obscene wet slaps fill the room as Jace's hips slam against you, driving him deeper with every thrust.
"Harder," you beg, your nails raking down his sweat-slicked back. "Fuck me harder, Jace! Ruin me with that big cock!"
He snarls, gripping your hips hard enough to bruise as he slams into you even harder. The headboard bangs against the wall, the rhythmic thumping obscenely loud in the quiet room.
You can feel another orgasm building, coiling tighter and tighter in your core. Jace is hitting that spot inside you with every thrust, stoking the flames higher and higher. Your pussy flutters around him, your walls clenching greedily.
"Filthy slut," Jace grunts, pounding into your abused cunt. "Can't get enough of your stepbrother's cock, can you? Fucking desperate to be ruined."
He drives into you harder, the wet slap of skin on skin filling the room. Your eyes roll back, drool leaking from the corner of your slack mouth as he fucks you stupid.
Your cunt is making obscene squelching noises, overflowing with Jace's cum from the last round. It dribbles down the crack of your ass, staining the sheets beneath you.
"Aaahh, fuck!" you moan, your toes curling as another orgasm crashes over you. Your pussy clamps down on Jace's pistoning cock, milking him for all he's worth. You claw your nails down his back, leaving red marks in their wake as he fuck you through your intense climax.
"Gonna flood this slutty hole again," he growls, his thrusts becoming erratic. "Fill you up with so much cum you'll be leaking for days."
With a roar of completion, Jace slams into you one last time. His cock jerks and pulses, painting your insides white with his thick seed. You can feel it filling you up.
Jace collapses on top of you, both of you gasping for breath. His softening dick slips out of your sore pussy, followed by a gush of cum. It pools between your thighs, oozing out onto the bed.
"Aah..." you whimper as your hole is throbbing, so sore and used from Jace's relentless pounding. You try to catch your breath, your eyes squeezed shut as aftershocks of pleasure course through your spent body.
But it feels so right, being claimed by him. Like you were made to be fucked thoroughly by your stepbrother's massive cock. Your pussy is still twitching from the sheer intensity, his cum leaking out of you in a steady stream. You're absolutely wrecked, but you've never felt more satisfied.
You open your eyes, looking at him. Seeing him just as messed up, makes you smile with adoration. His hair is messy, his skin covered in a sheen of sweat and his lips swollen from biting them so much.
Jace rolls off you, flopping onto his back with a groan. His chest heaves as he catches his breath, sweat cooling on his skin.
You turn to face him, propping yourself up on one elbow. Your eyes roam over his body, taking in every dip and plane. He's beautiful like this, dark hair tousled, muscles flexing with each laboured breath.
"That was..." You swallow hard, struggling to find the words. "Intense."
A wry smile tugs at Jace's lips. "You can say that again. Fuck, I don't think I've ever cum that hard in my life."
He turns his head to look at you, his eyes softening. "I meant what I said, you know. About you being mine now."
Your heart skips a beat at his words, warmth blooming in your chest. "I know. And I'm not going anywhere."
Jace reaches out, cupping your cheek with his calloused palm. His thumb brushes over your bottom lip, the gesture surprisingly tender.
"I never thought I could feel this way about anyone," he confesses, his voice low and rough. "But you...you're under my skin. I can't imagine my life without you in it now."
You smile softly, emotion welling up inside you. You lean into his touch, nuzzling his palm.
"I never thought I could want someone as much as I want you," you admit softly. "I donât care if itâs wrong. I need you..."
"And I need you," Jace murmurs, pressing his forehead against yours. "Always. You're mine, and I protect what's mine."
He seals his promise with a kiss, his lips moving against yours with aching tenderness. It's a stark contrast to the furious fucking that just took place, but no less meaningful.
When he finally pulls back, you're both breathless. Jace tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering on your skin.
Jace's touch lingers, his fingers trailing down your cheek to your neck, your collarbone. He traces idle patterns on your skin, mapping out the contours of your body like he's trying to commit it to memory.
You smile drowsily at Jace, your hand caressing his handsome face, your thumb brushing tenderly over his cheek. "My beautiful boy," you murmur softly, your gaze locked with his intense brown eyes. Your heart flutters in your chest, the intimate closeness between you sending shivers down your spine. Never before have you felt so deeply connected to someone, so utterly exposed and vulnerable. But with Jace, it feels safe.
Jace leans into your touch, his eyes fluttering closed. A soft sigh escapes his lips, his body melting into yours. He nuzzles into your palm, pressing a kiss to the centre.
"My sweet girl," he breathes, his voice low and rough with emotion. "You've ruined me for anyone else. No one will ever compare to you."
Jace wraps his arms around you, holding you close. You melt into his embrace, your head tucked beneath his chin. The world falls away, leaving only the two of you, wrapped up in each other's love and passion.

Don't mind me, just revisiting the plot (again) and dying over this line (again). (These screenshots are going to be abysmal, but you'll get the point).
"To stop now would dishonor those I have wronged to come this far."
Yeah he's talking about Mythal (earned or not) and Felassan and Lavellan and Varric...but the way it applies to HIM, too, is what absolutely guts me.
Long post ahead...
Solas realizing that Lavellan doesn't care about how others see him or want to use him under the inquisiton, that HIS motivations as he has shared them are enough for her and worth defending against those who would tell him he's something he isn't. Solas, for the first time, being confronted with the realization that one these new elves he does not see himself in will still go to bat for him.
"You came here to help, Solas, I won't let them use that against you."
(Is he duplicitous? Yes. But intent on working against Corypheus? Undoubtedly).
âHow would you stop them?â
âHowever I had to.â
â...thank you.â
Solas grappling with the fact that it wasn't just a one off, that this Dalish woman being faced with "hypotheticals" he's desperately been trying to get her people to entertain is jumping in head first, pushing back and disagreeing with him but never treating him worse for their differences and always admitting when he's helped shape a changing perspective. Solas daring to ask for help and marveling at the fact that he receives it, that the same woman who asked if it might some day be possible to live alongside spirits, who did not immediately shoot down his critique of THE CHANTRY REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE SPIRITS AS LEGITIMATE BEINGS (GAH), who did not laugh at him for saying he preferred their company most days, this woman, is going to drop time and resources during war time preparations to personally help his friend.
And then, when he is too late and has once again failed someone he considers a friend, he disappears within himself, where he has always gone to exact punishment for the weight of the lives he believes he's betrayed. It almost works, too.
Psych. Lavellan doesn't want him to grieve alone, to stare at the place in the Fade where his friend used to be and think of all he should have done differently.
âThe next time you have to mourn, you donât need to be alone.â
âItâs been so long since I could trust someone.â
âI know.â
âIâll work on it. And thank you.â
And still she unbalances him, accepts him, wants more. Solas is sharing a personality that brings him the closest he has ever been to his spirit form, and it is ENOUGH for her. Existing as he has always dreamt of is all takes to earn her loyalty, respect, and eventually love.
But does she stop there? No. She doesn't chafe at this random apostate who speaks with certainty and unapologetically delves into a past he believes worth preserving, even at the cost of questioning her culture as it currently stands.
The very woman he once thought of as a mistake that HE unleashed upon the world is asking to be a part of his, not because of what he can bring to the table, not because she needs a right hand man, and certainly not because she thinks he has some well of power and intelligence critical to winning over enemies sheâs willing to join for "supervisory" purposes (cough cough hi Mythal). She bears the weight of choices that can and will lead to death, to pain, and when it wears on her she relies on him, not for solutions but so that at the end of it all she might smile with someone who knows her heart and the good she tried to do amidst a sea of terrible options. She wants to be known, no inch of her unturned, and worse, she thinks she knows him. But how could she? This is no longer who he is, it is merely the remnants of what he destroyed to make a world at Mythal's whim.
âYouâre an admirable man. Not many people know who they are the way you do.â
âThank you. Both for saying that andâŚfor seeing that. Few in this world can see me instead of just seeing a pair of pointed earsâ
She. Sees. Him. Every part he slowly is realizing he wants to be known for and even a few he thought he could hide. And then he gives it all up. Because he woke to a new world where spirits and elves and mages were so far removed from the role they played in Arlathan that it can only be yet another mistake he caused and must fix, never mind the fact that the dwarves have forgotten why they fled underground millennia ago in the first place.
The friend who tore him from the world he loved, urged him to take physical form? She is dead, too, never mind the fact that she ignored his urging for a different path, nevermind that he killed and tore and hurt in her name because otherwise what was losing the part of himself he loved for?
"A spirit becomes a demon when denied its original purpose.â
âIt hurts. It always does, but I will survive.â
âYou bound it to obedience, then commanded it to kill. That is when it turned.â
He may no longer recognize where the Dread Wolf ends and where Solas begins, but if he gives up now and permits himself the chance to remember, the pain he caused himself and others means nothing, because he did it all for Mythal and in his final discussion with her, regardless of what Veilguard tries to convey, she does not release him from his position as her agent.
And maybe that's part of why I'm so angry, because EVEN BEFORE TRESPASSER, the fragment of Mythal that ends up in Morrigan could have freed him, but she does not.
"I am sorry." He whispers.
"The failure was mine," he tells her, voice trembling. "I should pay the price."
Silence.
And do we get that "what we did, we did together" psuedo-fake ass-absolution, the one that, if given enough time and safety to put himself first he may have realised he doesn't truly need to pursue the things he deserves, that make him feel finally like himself again? No the fuck we don't.
"As am I, old friend." She murmurs.
Looking through the lens of Veilguard, this isn't an apology, it's a condemnation. It's Mythal tormenting him one more time, twisting the knife deeper, agreeing that it is Solas alone who has brought them to this point, who deserves to be punished. And then she reminds him what they are to each other, what he is supposed to be to her. What he must become again.
"It isn't abuse if I ask," Cole says in his personal quest.
"Not always true," Solas shoots back.
So he recommits to the friend he gave up his nature for, he refuses to let himself remember that Lavellan learned the full truth of his identity and still begged him not to mourn alone. Even so, he still cannot quite forget.
Var lath vir suledin. Our love will persevere.
I wish it could, vhenan.
And so he pushes onwards, spending almost a decade denying himself his true nature and regretting that he ever gave it a chance to come through because now he KNOWS that this world is different and a little broken, but it's a world he could be a part of because of the woman and the friends that made a place for him. It is a world that doesn't necessarily need to be restored as much as it might need renovation, but that is not the world Mythal demanded of him when she let him kill a remaining piece of her. And any solution but that means the hurt of taking a body, of hurting the titans, of time and time again being called on by one evanuris to fix a problem they all caused, was for nothing.
And a Pride of that magnitude, that sinister an origin, has a long, long way to fall.
And then that same uppity little shit has the audacity to tell him it's not too late, that he can turn back.
He kills again. He kills again. He kills again.
He kills a friend.
He fails to prevent the Evanuris from wreaking havoc a second time, wrenches another innocent into his war, and when they ask him about the woman he calls vhenan, he feels the mask stifling him begin to suffocate. But he never lets it fall, because to surrender now is to place her broken heart atop the pile of regrets he's been holding up like Atlas crumbling beneath the weight of the world itself. Because he still thinks it selfish to want the things that make him feel like himself again, so they need to be taken off the board entirely.
"To stop now would dishonor those I have wronged to come this far."
If he gives up now, his entire corporeal life has been a betrayal of many, but worst of all, he will have ruined himself for nothing.
But then she's there. A little older, a little sadder, and still looking at him like she did the night he almost broke and instead carefully removed any suggestion that she had ever belonged to anyone but herself.
"Didn't you hear me?" Her every action screams as she kneels to meet his gaze like he did the day he took her arm (another failure, another sacrifice he cannot let be for nothing).
The tombstone in the fade is his greatest fear, but it is not his fate. Why? She will not let it be. It cannot be his din'anshiral if she is not beside him.
Lavellan may not have understood the depth of exactly WHEN Solas first came somewhere foreign and uncertain to help, but she never once failed to keep her promise. She refuses to let his initial desire to do good be held against him any longer. And when she sees him accept that not-quite-absolution-definitely-more-of-a-power-play from the god that saw what he was capable of and molded him into a weapon, she finds her in to make sure he doesn't walk off alone to mourn again, never again will she lose him to the expectations others have of him. No doubt she wants to find a way to sink the fingers of her good hand into that spectral visage and tear it away like he wishes to do to the veil. But she is not here for Mythal. She is here for her heart, and for the man who has been carrying it since the moment her lips met his in the fade ten years ago.
âNo orders to kill, no conflict with its nature, no demon.â
She forces him to see that the only remaining betrayal is to lock himself away one more irreversible time. All that's left to lose is the piece of himself he cherishes more than his greatest victories: all that he has to gain comes from making sure the love that was given to him at Skyhold, in the moment where Varric saw all he was capable of and still tried to bring him back home, was not given in vain.
"There is no fate but the love we share." She tells him as soon as Mythal's too-little-too-late platitudes send shudders through his body.
Banal nadas ar lath'ma vhenan.
It will not be so terrible a place, so unforgivable a betrayal if he can finally dare to put himself first. If, unlike that night in Crestwood, he finally gives in not to break, but to make himself whole.
There's a codex entry in Inquisiton about a spirit of wisdom who is summoned by researchers and only after a very pleasant conversation do they realize they made a mistake and never successfully bound the spirit in the first place, that it chose to speak with them of its own accord.
"I am not certain the spirit would have talked so freely had it been shackled at the time," writes the author of the entry.
I keep thinking about this alongside the datamined line of Morrigan saying, "And so, the Dread Wolf is stopped by, of all things love."
But that isn't quite right, is it?
Because in the end, of course the Dread Wolf could only ever freed by, over everything, love.

⢠Lilith used help⌠when she was around. The thought of asking someone else, much less the act itself, scorched him with guilt
⢠Oh well. Lucifer did it before, Heaven had rules about it, so he can do it again! And of course he did! It doesnât mean itâs not an excruciatingly long process he puts off as long as he can tolerate
⢠You walk in on him attempting to strain his arms in ways they certainly shouldnât bend. âNeed some help?â
⢠âPfft, who me? No, no, no Iââ He pauses. Itâs like the predicament heâs been caught in settles in slowly, his smile dropping and crimson irises widening to rival a puppyâs cuteness. âYes.â He admits meekly
⢠Your fingers barely touch his feathers and Lucifer jolts. Like him, his wings are so sensative
⢠Donât take it personally when he tries to back out after that, cheeks bright red from embarrassment. He has six wings and can barely tolerate your touch as is. This could take a while, he already feels bad
⢠After a teaspoon more of convincing and a gallon of reassurance later, Lucifer sits as still as he can (which isnât very) while you gently break open the pin feathers
⢠You could tease if you wanted, make a joke to try and settle his nerves but something tells you his wings arenât the only thing thatâs sensitive
⢠Lucifer appreciates your assistance and tenderness more than words can describe, nothing seems like a big enough gift to reward your hard work
Ëâ§ââ Adam ââşËłâ§ŕź
⢠Usually itâs Lute that would help him (and vice versa if he feels like it) but sheâs nowhere to be found. He canât casually ask anyone else. Heaven and its inhabitants can be weird about certain shit, preening is no exceptionâ even though everyone has wings here!
⢠Walking past Adamâs office, you heard a crash and a lot of swearing. âSir, are youâ?â
âUnless youâre gonna help, fuck right off!â He growls from the ground, still reaching at an awkward angle for his wings
⢠Heâs shocked when you sit on your knees beside him and swat his hand away. âIf you make this weird, I will leave.â You warn. He doesnât dare make even a single comment
⢠Adam shivers when your fingers glide into his feathers. You wave it off the first time but canât stop a laugh when it happens again
Face first into the carpet, his loud voice is muffled, âShut! Up!â
⢠You take pity on him and donât drag the process longer than necessary. Awarding yourself a final pet of his oddly soft wings, you stand up, âThere. All better?â
⢠Rising to his feet and giving his wings an experimental stretch, he shrugs nonchalantly, âThanks. I guess.â
⢠The next day, you receive a basket from Goody-2-Shoes with various snacks. The card reads, âLet me know when I can return the favor. Wings donât have to be included. ~ Aâ
Ëâ§ââ Lute ââşËłâ§ŕź
⢠You know she needs help when sheâs more irritable than usual. Snapping at everyone, even Adam, and flinching when her wings move in the slightest
⢠Approaching the subject with her is harder than anyone. As aforementioned itâs unspokenly taboo but that isnât what stops her. Luteâs deep rooted issues with intimacy and needing help will make her walls thicker than ever
⢠âThis is inappropriate,â Lute whispers.
In the dead of night sheâs finally allowed you to assist but keeps fidgeting and surveying the area like someone will catch you two.
âIt is not,â You roll your eyes, âGet your mind out of the gutter and be still! Iâll have youâll feeling better in no time.â
⢠She seriously, seriously doubts that. Anything she canât do herself, amongst certain divine exceptions, no one could do for her
⢠âŚBut sheâs letting you help (and your adept fingers are doing a better job) So either she doesnât fully believe that, or you miraculously raised her expectations
⢠Lute decides the latter is acceptableâ and a compliment, especially since you prove her wrong. Triple checking her wings, she canât find a flaw or deny how wonderful they feel now.
⢠âThis is adequate.â
You snort, âYou could just say thanks?â
âHow can I repay you?â
âI just told you.â
⢠She narrows her eyes, shocked and suspicious that you wouldnât want anything. Lute, again, decides that your endeavor deserves an equal act of goodwill. Donât take it for granted when she says, âNo. I owe you one. One.â
Ëâ§ââ Vaggie ââşËłâ§ŕź
⢠She genuinely forgets whatâs wrong with her when she needs to preen. Even with her wings folded away, the irritable pricking can be felt. Sheâs itching the back of her neck, hand clawing under the crew of her shirt and dipping between her shoulder blades when you ask whenâs the last time she checked for pin feathers
⢠Vaggieâs always been independent. Up in Heaven she was a bit cocky with the fact she never needed help to reach them. Now, she felt helpless and stupid. Her arms cramped up, her hair kept getting in the way and the itching only progressed
⢠âCan Iâ?â
âNo.â Her ivory eyes go wide, surprised at the fury of her own voice. Sighing and avoiding your (what she assumed was a) pitiful gaze, she apologizes. âSorry. I donât know why I⌠I used to be able to do this alone.â
Pausing at how defeated Vaggie sounds, you do your best to keep a positive, neutral tone.
âCut yourself some slack, you havenât done this in years. And, yâknow, you donât have to do it alone now. Not if you donât want.â
⢠Smiling at the offer hanging in the air but not quite accepting, she goes about her managerial duties only to knock on your door afterwards
⢠Vaggieâs so grateful you canât see how dark her face becomes as you sort through her wings. Theyâre not sensitive, they never wereâ itâs something about your fingers delicately touching her that cracks her resolve. Now she starts to understand why this was seen as an intimate act upstairs
⢠âThanks forâŚâ Still blushing, she gestures to her wings before hiding them, âThanks.â
You try to keep up with her indifference but canât help the smile spreading across your face.
âNo problem.â
⢠If you think sheâs not replaying the moment over and over in her head for days afterwards, youâre wrong. Vaggieâs desperately waiting for the moment to be just as useful to you
Ëâ§ââ Husk ââşËłâ§ŕź
⢠Heâs hardly a fan of Angel touching him the way he does so a solid relationship is required to unlock the level of trust needed for this activity
⢠The first time it happens when youâre in his life, he wonât ask but also doesnât reject the offer. Just looks extremely hesitant and uncomfortable
⢠Carefully, you pinch the rough layer and eye Husk from over his shoulder
⢠He breathes out a laugh, âGonna take more than that to hurt me, sugar. Go on, Iâll be fine.â
⢠His wings might be the least sensitive⌠but that could also be all that alcohol in his system
⢠Husk hums as you work. After he gives a big, cat-like stretch and thanks you with a tip of his hat
⢠The simple gesture means more than you know, heâll never forget it
~
â°(*´︜`*)âŻâĄ accidentally on purpose put them from most to least sensitive wings hehehe
big big big BIG thank you to @kottenox for the inspiration and letting me take this idea and run!

Knowing
I have just had the worst, or best, brainwave and I need to share it.Â
Here is an AU for you.
Vader thinks that he killed his wife and child, right?
Right up until he meets little Leia Organa when she is 10 years old. Like his one brain cell woke the fuck up when he was confronted with a passionate, angry little girl with Padmeâs eyes and his chin. This is maybe a month after she was kidnapped and returned to Alderaan. Leia decides that she would need to learn how to be a senator and insists that Bail takes her with him to the next session of the imperial senate. Â
Bail does not want to bring her to the imperial senate. However he knows very well who her birth parents were, it is either Bail brings Leia to the Imperial Senate or Leia brings Leia to the Imperial Senate, probably bringing with her someone she really shouldnât (Like actual Obi Wan Kenobi-I just want you to picture for a moment, because Bail certainly did, looking up and realizing that Leia is charging down the halls outside his office, dragging with her a bemused and sandy Obi Wan, both in badly conceived disguises).
Bail is super stressed as he tries to run a rebellion while riding herd on his well meaning but very direct 10 year old daughter on top of his normal duties as an imperial senator. Bail is also very afraid that the moment the Emperor sees Leia, he will make the connection between Leia and Padme Amidala (The emperor does not socialize with the senate any longer, thank the stars). He has no idea that Vader was once Anakin Skywalker, so has no cause to be more careful than normal (because Vader) about Vader seeing Leia. As such Bail does not even notice when Vader stops to consider them from the shadows. Leia is haranguing another planetâs senatorial aide who had chosen the wrong moment to make a bigoted joke.Â
Vader is very abruptly, though mentally, thrown back to this very hallway 12 years earlier where he watched his wife do the same thing, for the same reason, possibly to this same aide. Though Leia is still a child and Padme was an adult, he can still see his wife in this little girl.
The realization that this is Padmeâs child hits him with the force of a Ventanor. Followed immediately, before he even realized that this meant that his child was standing in front of him, by the soul deep knowledge that she must be protected from the Emperor at all costs.Â
Vader had known for years that his suit had been designed to cause him more pain, he just thought he deserved it. The thought of Palpatine getting ahold of Padmeâs daughter was abhorrent. Vader sticks to the shadows and watches, seeing how well Bail loved and protected Leia.Â
While he is thinking(read Obsessing) about his daughter, the part of him that is always centered on Obi Wan points out that his old master had been one of the last people to see Padme after Vader choked her. But the little voice that spoke in Padmeâs tones piped up, the shock of Leia living being enough to finally make this little voice loud enough to be heard, saying that until recently Obi Wan believed that Anakin Skywalker was all the way dead, he was protecting their child as best as he knew how.Â
And Vader has issues with just about every choice Obi Wan Kenobi ever made. But he will admit that hiding Padmeâs daughter was the best option.Â
As Vader knows that paying too much attention to Leia would draw the Emperorâs attention, he would be willing to wait until the right moment to get his daughter back. His one concession to his need to protect her was taking one of his personal guard, one of the few units still made up almost entirely of clones, and assigning them to be Leia Organaâs bodyguard, her shadow (I also want you to take a moment to consider what that did for Bailâs stress level). And then Vader gets to planning.Â
With his one brain cell awake and focused on the Organaâs it takes Vader all of 15 minutes to realize that Bail Organa is running the Rebellion (I want it to be clear, this is not a slight on Bail at all, Anakin Skywalker was a war general, well educated through the Jedi on a number of subjects, and does have a fair measure of politics learning from both his former master and his dead wife). However Vader is no more loyal to the Empire than Anakin was to the Republic. In fact, upon realizing that Padmeâs daughter had lived Vader firmly decided that he needed to find a way to kill Palpatine to crown Leia. With the realization that Bail, and likely Leia (neither Vader nor Anakin have any idea what activities are appropriate for a 10 year old), are part of the Rebellion, Vader decides that The Rebellion would succeed (or everyone would die trying).Â
Note: Vader only really gets away with no one realizing that he now supported the Rebellion because, well, no one can quite believe that Darth Vader supports the Rebellion. Most people think there is a new type of Space Madness, and that one of the symptoms is hallucinating Darth Vader giving you intel for the Rebellion.
By the time Leia was a teenager, rumors abound about the odd way that Vader acted around her. By sheer happenstance (and some judicial violence on Vaderâs part) these rumors had never reached the Emperor. A good deal of these rumors implied that Vader was looking to the Princess of Alderaan as a wife. The reaction Vader had, the only time it was brought up in front of him, wasâŚimpressive, even for the amount of violence he normally dealt out. Still there are members of Vaderâs personal guard who watch over Leia whenever she is on Imperial Center, and no one wants to repeat the time when she was 12 when one of Bail enemies tried to kidnap her for ransom. It took an entire corps of engineers to put those levels back to rights (after they scrubbed the blood off). Â
So we get all the way up to the timeframe of ANH. The Death Star in this does not start out under the control of Darth Vader. It starts out under the control of Tarkin, it is important to note this. Leia still sends out R2D2 and C3P0 to find Obi Wan Kenobi, none of that part changes.Â
It is after Leia is captured that Darth Vader shows up (does he lurk silently in any system that Leia is due to be in as often as he can get away withâŚwhy yes, yes he does). Tarkin had wanted Leia tortured, however no one wanted to find out how many decks Vader would spread their entrails across for touching her. Vader arrives on the bridge just as Tarkin is threatening to blow up Alderaan. Tarkin orders the weapon to begin its charge.Â
Leia, Leia who is so like her mother in that she will use every weapon in her arsenal, turns to Darth Vader and speaks to him for the first time. âPleaseâ she said, no effort to hide her distress, âplease save my planetâ
Something Leia had no cause to know-An angel who she resembled once thanked Anakin Skywalker for saving her planet.Â
Tarkin is dead almost before she finishes speaking. Vader orders the DS weapons to power down and disengage, which is done post haste. Then announces that Leia Organa was now in control.Â
So Leia now owns a Death Star (genuine article-never used). Leia is not sure if that is how this works, but no one is arguing with the tall man in black who has OPINIONS and will enforce them. Leia manages to communicate this to her parents, who take a shuttle up to the space station to figure out what the fuck is going on, and what, if anything, they need to do next.
Two hours later: Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, R2D2, C3P0, and Chewbacca have just been caught trying to sneak onto the Death Star. The Organas are still on board, trying to get answers (In that time Vader has said precisely five words to them âYou have raised her wellâ). It is to this room that the troopers manning the station (who are deeply confused and a bit conflicted because it seems like they may have all been forcibly defected from the Empire, but no one is willing to disobey Lord Vader) bring Obi Wan and co. and present them to Leia, as she is considered in command. Somehow Lukeâs full name (I kind of picture him still dumbly introducing himself to Leia, followed with âweâre here to rescue youâ) gets used before the situation deteriorates. Which naturally causes everything to deteriorate further and faster than before. Â
Far away on Imperial Center, the Emperor pauses in the middle of a hallway âI feelâ he says to no one âa disturbance in the Force.â another pause âlike some shit has just hit the fanâ
Far away on Dagobah Yoda looks up, âweird, shit just gotâ

hi mae:) would you be willing to write a sirius x reader fic where reader just gets hammered and spills all of her family trauma to sirius? like, sheâs no longer in that environment because she moved out but they were just really mean and terrible to her and sheâs never told sirius but then she finally does and heâs just like âpoor baby, let me tell you all of the love and reassurance you never got as a child:(â
Thanks for requesting lovely <3
Sirius Black x fem!reader ⥠634 words
You worry youâve traumatized your boyfriend.Â
Sirius has you tucked firmly under his chin, both arms squishing you to his front, and youâre not sure if the rocking is for you or him or possibly both.Â
âSirius,â you murmur, some of the vowels lost due to your malfunctioning tongue. âBaby, mâsorry.âÂ
âWhatâre you sorry for?â Your boyfriendâs voice sounds thin. Heâs had a bit less to drink than you, but his words still sound like theyâre written in cursive, strung together by thick emotion. âYou havenât done anything wrong.âÂ
You sigh. It feels nice, being cocooned in his warmth like this. Heâs squeezing you just tight enough to be comfortable, and he smells more like himself than like rum. Your next inhale, you focus on it. Clove and nighttime.Â
âI shouldnâtâve dumped on you like this,â you admit.
âYes you should have.â Siriusâ lips press firmly to the top of your head. âSweetheart, I only wish youâd told me sooner. Why didnât you?âÂ
His sympathy is bringing you dangerously close to tears again. Your first wave has only just dried. âBecause I know itâs a lot,â you say, attempting to swallow the blockage in your throat. âSânot like you donât have your own family shit to deal with. And anyway, I moved out.âÂ
âBaby.â Sirius sounds devastated. âI donât care what shit I have, it doesnât mean I donât wanna hear about yours, too. I always do.â His fingers bunch in the fabric of your top, short nails scratching lightly against the skin underneath. âAnd I know better than fucking anyone that moving out helps, but it doesnât fix everything. It canâyou can still hurt.âÂ
Where Siriusâ chin touches your forehead, you feel a hot tear drip onto your skin. A pained sound slips from your throat as you pull away from him, taking his face between your hands.Â
And youâd expected him to look upset, mournful even, but Sirius looks livid. Every sharp angle of his beautiful face is wrathful, silent tears gleaming on his cheeks and dark brows lowered over stormcloud eyes. His hands stay bunched in your top as if he means to keep you tethered to him by sheer force of will.Â
âYouâre good,â he tells you, voice quavering with conviction. âYouâre lovely, and kind, and more than enough. Got it?âÂ
âSiri,â you whisper, brushing some of the wetness from his cheeks. âItâs okay.âÂ
âItâs not,â he insists. Some of the harshness has waned from his expression, though, under your gentle touch. âNobody should evââ His voice splinters, and Sirius looks frustrated with himself. You want to roll the both of you up in the comforter of your bed and never come out. âShould ever treat their kid that way,â he finishes. He looks you in your eyes, fierce in his earnestness. âIâm gonna love you so hard those fuckers will regret not giving it to you sooner.âÂ
Though you try to stop it, a corner of your mouth tips up. âI love you, too, baby. You can love me as hard as you want.âÂ
âOh, fuck you.â He cracks a smile at your salacious tone. You stop trying to hold back the rest of your grin, and he grabs your face in both hands, smashing his lips to yours.Â
The kiss is firm but not harsh, so fond it makes your heart feel like a bruise. Sirius moves to your forehead next.Â
âMy baby,â he says against your skin, both amused and ardent. Drops his forehead to yours. âIâm gonna make up for it. Iâm gonna give you everything you never got back then. Do you have any idea how much I love you, sweet thing?âÂ
âI love you, too,â you promise him, pushing against his forehead lightly with your own. âDonât worry, you already make up for everything.âÂ

In October of 1967, Steve Harrington is born in Hawkins, Indiana.
He's raised there, forced to live under the strict expectations of his parents, Richard and Samantha. Barely escapes their clutches, freedom fueled by the kids and adults that take the role of guardian and family when the time is right. Keeps himself in check with the always impending apocalypses that arise beneath his feet.
In June of 1985 - when Steve Harrington is 18, while Richard and Samantha Harrington are visiting New York for an extended work trip - Veronica Harrington is born.
She was carried and raised in secret from their hometown. They take care of her between their business hours, dropping her in the hands of nannies and babysitters galore. They don't even think of Indiana during Veronica's early childhood, too focused on work and making sure their daughter starts up right.
In October of 1986 - when Steve Harrington is 19, aged further by ending the Vecna War, yet tamed by his newfound love in Eddie Munson - Richard and Samantha Harrington return to Hawkins.
They don't ask about what happened to their son. They don't ask about the town. They don't ask questions, just give responses to them. Sneering at Steve's friends, complaining about the state of the house, commenting at the disfunctional chaos their home has become.
In November of 1986, Richard and Samantha Harrington disown Steve.
They just let him go. They at least give him a folder of his legal documents, but otherwise just tell him to get out of their house and never use their name again. Claiming Steve doesn't need anything from the room because the Harrington's own everything in it. They don't call him son, they don't say goodbye, they don't acknowledge who's actually taken care of the house, they don't admit most of Steve's former room has changed with money Steve earned himself, they don't dare to give him any money or care where he goes. They just say they're sick of dealing with an unworthy mistake of a child, and force him out of their house.
In November of 1986, the Party's adults adopt Steve.
He runs to them first after everything happens. Held himself together at the start, but broke down the second the words were out. While everyone was trying to comfort Steve, Wayne Munson and Jim Hopper were the first to succeed. They know firsthand that this family would never be the same as blood, no matter how much that blood has boiled and burned before, but the love will be stronger and it will be here. When everyone seconds it, Steve finally accepts it. He becomes a child of the Party - he's everyone's son and everyone's brother, taking whatever surname he sees fit.
In November of 1986, Steve Henderson and Eddie Munson leave Hawkins.
Despite all this good, Steve can't bear to stay in this damned town a second longer, where everyone knows who he is and will soon know everything he isn't. And it's not like Eddie was looking forward to sticking around Hawkins either, especially without his Steve. The kids are the first to agree, surprisingly, and the adults promise to find a way for the boys to get out. Later that week, when Richard and Samantha leave the house to prepare for Veronica, Steve and Eddie break in to take everything that's rightfully theirs. While they're there, not sure what prompts him, Steve makes a bag of his clothes with shoes and his wallet tucked within it, shoving it into his closet. Dustin's mom uses an old favor to get the boys an apartment in Chicago, the Party has one last farewell, and the two boys are gone.
From 1986 onward, Veronica Harrington is raised in Hawkins, Indiana.
Richard and Samantha are adamant in their daughter coming out exactly how she should. They steadily convince the town to forget the Harringtons ever had a son and lock the room on the second floor next to the stairs without ever touching the inside. They raise her with formality and pride at the top of their expectations, wanting at least one child to come out right.
But Veronica is the spitting image of Steve's honesty and care. She puts on a facade when needed, but even at a young age, she wants nothing more than to be someone's light in the darkness. She plays with every lonely kid at school, and tries to make people laugh at the business parties she's dragged to. It's not received well by her parents, but Veronica is much too strong willed and stubborn to let it phase her.
In April of 1991 - when she's 6 and they're so much stronger around their hearts - Veronica Harrington meets Steve and Eddie Munson for the first time.
It's the year Erica is set to graduate high school. Steve and Eddie have been making the drive for every holiday this year, ordered determined to give her the best senior year she could have. It's Easter Sunday, and Wayne somehow managed to drag his boys away to church - a Munson custom, as even Eddie insisted they go.
While at the snack table post sermon, a little girl comes up to Steve, mistaking him for her father. He and Eddie gently comfort the girl, introducing themselves and offering to help the girl find her parents. That's when Veronica introduces herself, striking Steve deep in his heart. Still, he keeps quiet, even gifting her a little origami crane made from napkins at the table. He calls her "chickpea" for the color of her dress, tells her to keep the crane secret and safe, "If ever you need to find your way back home, you hold that close, and it'll tell you."
Meanwhile, Wayne has come across Richard and Samantha in the crowd opposite the kids. Exchanging formalities, Wayne mentions his son and nephew are in town, news the Harrington's are surprised at, as Wayne didn't seem like the father type. However, trying to keep face, they remain civil and insist on introducing their daughter.
Cue Veronica running to her parents with Steve and Eddie in tow. Cue Steve calling Wayne dad right to Richard's face. Cue the Harrington's immediate leave from the church, Veronica waving behind her with a crane placed carefully in her pocket.
From then on, Veronica Harrington's life changes indefinitely.
Her parents' expectations grow tenfold. She finds out she's horribly allergic to chickpeas. All of her friends must be approved by her parents, and any that don't fit their image are ordered to leave her.
Veronica takes these changes in stride - is her class's top student, captain of the softball and volleyball teams in junior high, keeps the friends she wants in secret from her parents - but she can't help but keep the crane in a little box in her room. Gets a necklace with a little origami crane pendant, holds it whenever she needs to make a hard choice. Can't help but expand herself in secret, learn things her parents would never approve of - lock picking, other languages, sleight of hand, a clothing style that's nothing like the dark blues of her family, all warmth and light. She explores every room in her house, yet is unable to find her way into that room upstairs next to the steps.
In May of 1998, Veronica Harrington discovers the truth about her brother.
She's about to be a freshman. Her class was touring the high school in preparation, and while passing the athletics hall, her eyes hit the swimming trophies. Each row stuffed with trophies, and each one with a name that stabbed her right in the stomach: Steve Harrington.
After that, she couldn't bear all the secrecy anymore. Late that same night, she finally uses her lock picking skills to break into that room. And though it's devoid of life, it is a bedroom, so evidently lived in. It's frozen in time, twisted sheets covered in dust, old papers crinkled from being stepped on but not picked up, old clean clothes still sitting in the hamper. It's a boy's room, clearly, and Veronica is careful walking around this place of memories.
She does still explore, quietly clicking on lights around the room, too cautious to touch the overhead lights. She looks under the bed, finding a bat and a trash can lid, both embedded with rusty nails. A shirt that still smells like fresh laundry yet has a back stained permanently with long red lines down the shoulders. Dozens of stapled documents labeled NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT, detailing horrific events that each have that same name signed at the bottom.
With shaking hands she checks the closet, and finds it mostly empty. All except for a deep green graduation robe and cap, a cream Hawkins High letterman, and a duffel bag hidden in the back corner. The cap has a 1985 tassel, and the letterman has Harrington branded on the back with basketball and swimming patches galore. And the bag, when she checks it, looks like a survivalist pack someone would make in an apocalypse. At the top sits a wallet, and inside is an ID for a Steve Harrington, who has the same face as the one in her origami memories.
And Veronica is done. She wakes up the next morning and throws Steve's jacket on the kitchen table, startling both her parents mid sip of coffee. She finds herself in a screaming match with her father, demanding them to quit lying to her, begging to know who her brother is.
In a fit of rage, Richard tells her. Tells her everything Richard and Samantha never saw in Steve, about Veronica's secret birth, the disownment, Steve's disappearance from the Harrington house and Hawkins. She's reminded of that one Easter Sunday, and is told how Richard and Samantha faked Veronica's allergy to keep her mind from being tainted by whatever curse befell their bloodline before. Orders her to never say that name again.
In a fit of rage, Veronica bites back. Calls her parents cruel and overly expectant. Comes clean about her secret freedom. Says she'd rather be nothing than ever carry the burden of the Harrington name ever again.
She hides away in her room after the fight. Cries in her closet with her origami box cradled tightly to her chest, begging it to take her home because this place isn't anymore, maybe never was. Cries for the brother she never even got to meet, who went through so many horrible things yet still got put through this same punishment. Cries for the future she won't get to have, losing her hope for a new beginning that will now never be.
At the start of June, 1998, Veronica runs away.
She makes it through the rest of May in near silence. She writes notes for all of her friends at the end of the school year, and one for her parents to inevitably find. Finds 75 dollars in Steve's old wallet, stuffs the duffel bag the rest of the way with her belongings, and says goodbye to Hawkins.
She takes the first bus she can find out of town. Doesn't care that it's going to Chicago, doesn't really care where she's going now. She befriends an old homeless man riding the bus as well, becomes another interesting name in his "Book of Wanders (Pronounced as Wonders)." As Veronica's telling the story about unknowingly meeting her brother, she remembers the crane in her bag. She reaches in to retrieve the little box, then the crane, nearly crying seeing how disheveled and unfolded it is. Broken and doomed, just like her. But looking at it now after so long, she thinks she sees something written inside it. Despite it shattering her heart pieces, she carefully unfolds the little crane.
At its center, in old, bleeding blue text, reads, "Find the Swooping Bat if you've lost your way."
The old man laughs then, taking Veronica's hand and placing it onto her chest, over her heart. "It's fate," he whispers in the dark bus. "There's a place called that in Chicago."
Veronica uses her money to rent them both a hotel for the night, giving the old man a warm bath for the first time in weeks. She gifts him the clothes as well, saying it's, "an honorary thanks from my brother, for helping me get here." They bid each other farewell in the morning, the old man telling her to keep hold of fate.
She finds her way to the Swooping Bat easily, hand on her necklace guiding her way. It's a quaint little diner, popular enough to be comfortably warm when she walks in. A young lady in a wheelchair - Max, says her nametag, with pins saying things like, "Summer work blows" and "USC grad or bust!" resting on her collar - guides her to a booth next to the sunrise.
"Anything I can get you today?" Max asks when Veronica's seated.
Veronica's fully ready to order everything on the menu, what with how delicious this place smells, but then she remembers her funds. 5 bucks, if she's lucky. "Just a chocolate milk, for now. Biggest one you have, please." She somehow plays off Max's skeptical look, her eyes sweeping over Veronica's no doubt disheveled and no-food-in-36-hours appearance.
It somehow works out, and Max is wheeling away. Veronica allows herself a moment to collapse, stomach growling in pain and eyes burning with the realization she has no idea what she's going to do now. She just has this last bit of hope to hold onto, and without it, she'll be nothing but a husk.
She's not sure how long she sits there, staring at the sunrise and letting sound and AC whisk her mind away, but there's suddenly a little knock on her table. Her head snaps up, and there's Max again, setting down a giant glass of chocolate milk... alongside a loaded breakfast plate.
"It's on the house," Max rushes to explain, all fondness when Veronica scrambles to get her wallet. "Courtesy of the owner. And between you and me," she whispers with a wink, "just take the damn food, kid."
Veronica stumbles over herself for a moment, rendered near speechless, before she finally comes back. She begs Max to thank the owner profusely, before rushing to dig into the pancakes before her. She's halfway done dousing the stack in syrup by the time Max wheels away, when there's suddenly someone laughing.
"Of course," says a choked-up voice behind her. "Can't have any chickpeas starving in my booths."
Veronica nearly drops her fork. She turns so sharply she gets dizzy. Seven years can't change a person that much, surely, because though he's bigger in the torso and he has glasses on the bridge of his nose and his hair is cut so close, he still has the same softness in his voice and the same slouch in his stance and the same moles around his eyes and his smile is so bright despite the tears in his eyes, and though Veronica can barely see through tears herself, it's not like she needs them anyway to know it's-
"Steve!" she cries, scrambling out of the booth to meet her brother halfway. The relief of it all working out has the rest of her restraint collapsing, forcing harsh sobs out of her and into Steve's shoulder. The siblings hold each other in the middle of a restaurant, a voice in the background asking everyone to leave them be. Steve doesn't stop whispering, even as his chest heaves with broken gasps between tears, "You're save, Veronica, I got you, I got you, it's gonna be okay, you're safe here, it's okay, sis, it's okay..."
"That you, lil' chickpea?" whispers a different voice once they've calmed down. Veronica reluctantly pulls away and finds a man kneeling beside them, a hand on Steve's shoulder and similar tears in his eyes. His hair and tattoos remind her of the tamed wild from seven years ago, covered in black in the middle of church yet glowing brighter than the stained glass, the one that Steve looks at in past and present with a glowing love Veronica never saw between her parents.
"Yeah," she whispers, wiping her tears away before placing a hand atop her necklace. It catches Eddie and Steve's eyes and make them beam with pride and relief. "Yeah, it's... it's me...."

hi guys! it's finally here! m'so proud of this one created with my love, @absfawn. this baby is our pride and joy, we had the most fun writing this together and hope y'all enjoy it as well. if you like it, let us know! feedback truly means a lot. anyways, happy reading!
Things have always been challenging for both of you. From the moment you met, friendship blossomed, sustaining for years, longer than Abby expected. Sheâs grateful for you but doesnât know how you still tolerate her. An inkling can be found in the pit of her stomach, and every time her gaze catches you, thereâs a hope that terrifies her. Almost a promise or a future she knows she wants but doesnât think she can ever have.Â
Itâs been like this since the moment the two of you met.Â
She remembers the first time she spoke of you, with Tess and Joel at the monthly dinner they had every first of the month, the light in her bright blues putting the full moon to shame. While Joel just chucked it up to a blossoming friendship, Tess could see something different â something bright. It shocked Tess even more when Abby brought Owen when she came to visit and not you. Her shine didnât exist when Abby was with her boyfriend, but it did with you. Just a few months later, Tess met you, and she chucked when she saw how Abby couldnât keep your eyes off of you. She constantly tended to you, ensuring you were comfortable, or the not-so-subtle hand rubbing your thigh sweetly.Â
Joel was clueless about the behavior, but Tess could see it clearly as day.Â
Tess had never seen Abby so full of joy, not since her mother had so tragically been taken away from her.Â
Ever since her motherâs passing, Tess has been the one to take her under her protective wing. She was one of the very few Abby couldnât count on, gracious to be there to hold her hand and wipe her tears when she lost her mother in her early teen years. As much as Abby loves her Father, the moments she misses her mom are more vigorous than one would like to admit. The specific way she would braid her golden hair or the tender kiss she would leave on her temple before she wished Abby goodnight. Her age didnât matter; her mom never let her feel unloved from the moment she held her as a newborn. Abbyâs curious eyes were all it took for mom to be enamored with her daughter.Â
When her grades started slipping, and her absence at school became apparent, her soccer coach snapped her out. She let Abby talk about her mom when her Father, Jerry, was too weak to discuss the elephant in the room. Abby never blames him; she is the love of his life, and he mourns her every day. He looks at her bright blues, and the touch of green surrounding the irises reflects her mothers. She also talked about how soft spoken Abby is, how particular she is with her tidiness, and how she learned to braid her hair like her mother used to.Â
Ever since then, the bond they shared nearly became unbreakable.Â
Tess never had a child of her own, and she never could either, but with Abby, it almost felt like she was one of her ownâthe adoptive daughter she didnât even know she needed but couldnât imagine her life without. Even if Abby has to take a flight to see her, they never miss their Sunday afternoon call, where they catch up on the nonsense in both of their lives.Â
Itâs one of the most incredible comforts Abby has. Sheâll treasure it for as long as she has Tess, her second chance at a motherâs love, she likes to call it. However, Abby couldnât get away with hiding in the dark sometimes because of how close they were. Especially when she brought you over for the holidays for the first time.Â
Two Years EarlierâŚ
âI donât know whatâs going on with you and Owen or you and her, but donât mess it up with her.â Tess mumbles as they watch from a distance. There you are, Joel, and you, her Father, Jerry, preparing Thanksgiving dinner. You look happy. It brings a delightful smile to Abby. It feels right, you being here with her, how easy all of it is except for why itâs so painfully not.Â
âYeah, I might be putting my foot in my mouth with this one,â Abby admits. She sips on the chilled beer you brought her a few moments ago.Â
âSomething is going on, isnât it? Showing up with her instead of Owen is surely saying something.â Tess huffs out ironically. âCanât imagine one like that is too keen on someone other than himself taking up time in your life.âÂ
âI suppose something is going on,â Abby says so quickly that Tess almost misses it.Â
âAbigail Anderson.âÂ
âI know! Okay, Iâll stop it. I justââ She pauses to look at you, making an effort with her Father as Jerryâs probably telling you some old joke youâve already heard three too many times, but you humor him.Â
âYou love her.âÂ
âI donâtââÂ
âDonât even, Abigail.â The older woman bites back. Abby opens her mouth to say a line of defense, but it says so openly that she thinks a fly might go ahead and make a home.Â
Tess has always been a no bullshit kind of woman. She was never one to beat around the bush; she always directly called out Abby on her own shit. When it stunk, she would be the first to tell her.Â
âI donât have to tell you how this looks, do I?âÂ
âNope. Weâre crystal clear.âÂ
Dinner goes off without a hitch. There is roasted hamâthe biggest ham Abby has ever seenâmashed potatoes, green bean casserole, beets, sweet potatoes, and her favoriteâapple pie. Everyone digs in rather quickly. The Southern meal does wonders for the heart but silences the makeshift family. Abby can hear Joel moan as he stuffs his mouth full of potatoes.Â
Her dad keeps the conversation light, asking where Ellie is. Apparently, her flight got snowed in. She missed the original flight due to not setting an alarm, resulting in oversleeping an hour past her flight. Everyone is quietly talking when you notice some gravy dribbling down her lips.Â
âHere, Abs, let me get it.â Instead of using your napkin to clean up the mess, your thumb wipes it off her pink and pouty lips, doing it all with a sweet smile on your face. As if it had never happened, you dig back into your food.Â
You miss it.Â
Tess gives Abby a deadly look, her eyes bugging at the mannerisms. How close the two of you must be that Abby, who isnât one for physical touch, let you do something so intimate and so easily at that. Raising her eyebrows as if to signal if it genuinely happened, Abby measly shrugged at Tess as if it was no big deal.Â
The rest of the night, Abby was mindful of how close they got to you, but you seemed to really not give a fuck. After you were done eating, your head resting on her shoulder as you lightly engaged in conversation, the food doing its job, nearly subduing you into a small comatose.Â
No more than a few hours later, you have a glass of wine as you sit next to Abby, joking with Joel as you rub the back of her muscular back. Drawing random patterns on her spine as she nearly moans from the tingles sent through your body.Â
This is everything Abby wants at her fingertips; you are everything sheâs ever wanted. The way youâre so soft, delicate when you handle other people, how when you comfort her, itâs the warmest sheâs felt in god knows how long. She thinks of Owen and how he makes her feel, but it doesnât make her feel anything at times, not the intensity she feels in the rapid beat of her heart each time she feels your comforting touch or your sweet voice dripping honey all over her.Â
Life has always been in black and white â good and bad choices for her.Â
But none of this seemed to be that simple.Â
Especially since sheâs the said person making the questionable decisions. Desperately, she finds herself forced to think of it each time Tess throws her a glance each time you do something entirely too intimate for a platonic, casual friend. Nothing about this is purely a token of friendship, but the only person questioning it is the woman who knows her like the back of her hand.Â
The last night sheâs there, her urges give in, especially when youâre begging for it. Itâs not even thirty minutes since you went to the guest bedroom, separate from her own, and youâre knocking on her door. Your pupils are dilated, thighs rubbing against one another, your perky tits visible through the think tank top and pajama shorts youâre wearing.Â
It isnât long before youâre in her bed, deliciously placed on top of her with you, with your slick folds gliding against her. Even with as good as it feels, how close Abby knows sheâs getting, the tight knot in her stomach begging to be released, she savors the moment. Itâs a slight tick she has, watching you as you use her body to feel the euphoric rise. The headboard creaks as you roll your hips. Abby should care that someone might hear them, but when your pace increases, her body twitches, and she loses control, finding it difficult for anything else to cross her mind. The irresistible high Abby rides sends you into your own, your body collapsing on top of her.Â
With the palm of her hands, she soothes your back, rubbing her hands up and down your spine, your body shaking from the orgasm.Â
Maybe itâs the holidays or seeing you with her family. The words she desperately wants to say threaten to spill over her tongue. Almost as if you can sense it, your lips find hers as you reach backward to grab her hands, intertwining them with your own before pinning them over her head. A flutter fills the blonde as you kiss along her jaw sweetly before finding her lips again, telling her everything you know the both of you canât say.Â
âCause the reality is Abby isnât yours to hold, but the two of you will keep pretending like she is. You fall asleep cuddled into her frame, your soft breath grazing into her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Just like every night this happens, Abby canât sleep.Â
From a very young age, Abby has always been one to worry, keeping her up all night. Her mother had to convince her to take melatonin, which dissolves on her tongue just so she could get sleep throughout grade school. As the years passed, her life became more complicated, and the amount of sleep she got seemed to decrease substantially.Â
Carefully, she untangles her limbs, not wanting to disturb your peaceful slumber. She blows a puff of smoke, swinging back and forth on the porch swing, and the moonlight kisses her cheeks. As much as Abby likes to deny it, the holidays make her miss home, but sheâs found another thousands of miles away thatâs hard to give up.Â
Of course, Tess canât sleep either.Â
She takes the bud from Abbyâs grip and takes a hit herself.Â
âYou know these are so bad for you.â Tess shakes her head, the draw she has peeping through.Â
âNot bad enough for you, huh?â Abby giggles as Tess rolls her eyes. If she looks closely enough, she sees the little thirteen year old mamaâs girl before her eyes. The sentiment nearly makes Tessâ eyes water. Itâs been such a long time since sheâs seen the bright-eyed athlete this blissful. âGuess not, Abigail.âÂ
âJerry was talkinâ about you and her after yâall retreated for the night.â Abbyâs eyes quirk up, her body language becoming rigid at the mention of you. She tries to ease her nerves, taking another hit as she allows the cannabis to infiltrate her lungs, almost holding a candle to the insatiable addiction she has for you. âOh yeah?âÂ
She passes the joint back to Tess as she takes another hit, blowing it into the crispy fall wind as it kisses the oak tree hovering over the house. Abby isnât sure why it puts her own edge or why there is a need to protect you from any further suspicions. The status of her current relationship, the one she has with you, why Owen isnât here with her, and why you are. Itâs an answer she doesnât really have yet. Â
âLess arguing with her than Owen. Itâs what he joked about, nothing serious. Unwound that neck of yours, thought youâd be less tense with all that creaking.âÂ
âTess!âÂ
âWhat? Iâm old, not deaf.âÂ
Abby canât help the blush creeping up her neck, crawling to her freckled cheeks. She doesnât want to smile or expose her feelings about you more than tonight, but she fails. It creeps on her just like you have. The only thing sheâs sure of is it wonât halt anytime soon. This deep hole sheâs dug herself in just gets her closer to hell, but sinning has never felt so euphoric. She feels it every time your sweet taste dances on her tongue or your giggle is so light it fills everyone in the room with joy. Her favorite has to be your smile. Abby swears sheâs seeing an angel for the first time.Â
âJust say it. If you canât tell anyone else, tell me. You canât tell her right now, or that girl will run in another direction, leaving you with that sorry excuse for a man by your side.â Tess huffs as Abby rolls her eyes.Â
âHeâs not that bad.âÂ
âHe must be that bad if youâre hooking up with someone who isnât your boyfriend, Abigail.â Abbyâs mouth opens, and no words manage to crawl out as she looks at Tess with wide eyes. Sure, she was a blunt and honest person most of the time, but she could have saved Abby the trouble of being so fucking honest for just a moment. Just to save her already breaking heart.Â
âSânot what it isââ
âNo?â Tess cocked her head to the side, looking at Abby silently, almost as if she was trying to figure her out. âThen what is it? Just us here, Abby. Like I said if you canât turn to anyone else and speak to them about whatever the fuck is going on, at least speak to me. Is that not what I told you years ago? If you are ever having a problem or an issue, you come to me, and I will do my best to help you.â
Abby lowers her head in shame or frustrationâshe has no idea whichâand inhales deeply. âItâs sânot that easy. You think me sitting here, smoking with you, is going to make it easier? Because I wonât. I donât know why youâre trying so hard.â
âBecause I love you, and I donât want to see you or anyone else hurt in the process.â Sheâs blunt again, but her serious face falters just a little bit when Abby nods slowly. âAbbyââ
âYou donât understand. You donât understand how much it hurts,â Her blue eyes pierce into Tessâs, and she feels her heart break piece by piece. âYou donât, you have Joel, you have each other, a love you share doesnât always happen to everyone else. I wonât get a love like yours because mâjust fucking up my life by hurting everyone who walks into it. Owen doesnât even look at me the same anymore, and what am i supposed to do? Slap on a smile and act like thatâs fuckin normal? And when he is fine? Itâs not important enough for him to see. Being with her is something I havenât felt or had before.â
âYou either tell her you love her or you end it, sâânot right, and you know it. Youâre just stringing her along.âÂ
âYou think I donât fucking know that?â Abby scoffs and tugs at her hair with a soft growl under her breath. âYou think I donât think about that whenever I tell her to leave? Even though she can make my shitty night into something perfect? Do you think mânot thinking that the entire time? What do you want me to say to her? I love you, but I canât ruin your life because I love fucking up mine?â She laughs, one Tess can smell is fake, and shrugs to herself.Â
âEverything Iâve had, or had, gets taken from me, and when I find the one thing that mâhere for, and I canât do anything but see her behind closed doors, those stupid glances and smiles that make my heart feel like itâs going to rip out my chest? Thatâs what is fucking keeping me alive. Just to see her fuckin face, to see her smile, makes me feel alive. It makes me feel again.â Abby finally looks up at Tess, the walls sheâs built up for years slowly crack. âYou think I donât know mâbreaking her heart because I have no idea what I'm doing with my life right now? You're wrong if you think I donât because I spend endless nights hating myself for it. No one will ever hate me more than I hate myself, Tess.â
For once, Tess is stunned into silence. Abby closed herself off from friends and family as she grew older, never opening up about her feelings and emotions. Even if people said it wasnât a healthy thing to do, she never listened and kept at it. âNo one hates you, Abby.â Her voice is quiet and cautious as she reaches for Abbyâs hand, a hand thatâs suddenly grown colder as the minutes pass.
âI hate myself,â Abbyâs voice cracks, a younger shell of herself clawing its way out. âI hate myself and donât know what to do.â
âYou need to start being honest with yourself, Abby.â Tess smiled, reaching up and wiping Abbyâs tears away with a soft touch. âHow badly do you love her?â
âTo the point, I canât be without her.â
Abbyâs body leans more into Tessâs touch the longer she wipes away her tears and rests her head on her shoulder. âThen you have to tell her, you know? I know the entire situation is a fucked up one, at best, but youâre still hurting yourself. I donât want you to hate yourself, and I donât want you to end up being hurt in the end. Do you understand where Iâm coming from? Thatâs all I want for you, to be happy. Thatâs all Iâve ever wanted for you, Abigail.â
âShe makes me happy, Tess.â
âI know, Sweetheart,â Tess mumbles against her temple and brushes loose strands of hair behind her ear. âTalking and admitting things isnât easy for you like it is for others. I know that, but you canât keep holding in how you feel because you are scared to hurt the person whoâs supposed to take care of you. We can see you arenât happy with Owen, Abby, everyone can see it but you and him. If you love her and not him, you need to tell her. Iâm here, Iâm always here if you need that extra bit of help, but getting how you feel off your chest, to her, will do you good.â
Abby makes a sound between a groan and a huff before nodding against Tessâs shoulder slower than a snail slides. âMâtrying. Everyday mâtrying but itâs just so hard.â
âIâm not telling you to tell her about the day when you would throw a fit when I tried to brush your hair or would slap the scissors out my hand whenever you asked me to cut your hair; you donât have to rush yourself, I know that people are hurting but you are also hurting, and thatâs the last thing I want for you. Go at your own pace, but donât leave it too late, Abby. People only wait for a certain amount of time.â
âWhat if Iâve already lost her?â Abby canât help but insecurely ask.
âI donât think she would still be happy to see you if you lost her, Abigail. The girl isnât going anywhere, but she might if you donât tell her how you really feel. I can see the way she looks at you, itâs the same way Joel looks at me, actually,â Tess laughed, slapping Abbyâs head lighty when she playfully made gagging sounds. âEnough of that.â
âYes, Maâam.â
âAs I was saying, she looks at you like you hung all the stars in the sky. If you lost her, she wouldnât continue to look at you like that. That is all I'm saying. Given how shitty the entire situation is right now, I Can tell you that girl is not going anywhere. You just need that extra push to tell her how you really feel, okay?â
Abby lifts her head and looks at Tess, her eyes red and slightly puffy; a small smile appears on her lips before she nods again. âOkay,â She sucked in a deep breath. âIâll try. Thank you.â The blonde sniffles.
âThatâs what Iâm here for, to make sure you stay out of shit like this,â Tess jokes while Abby simply rolls her eyes. âYouâre the best thing in my life, Abby, I hate to see you so upset.â
âI thought Joel was the best thing in your life?â
âWhat he doesnât know doesnât hurt him, you will always be my favourite person. Just think next time before something like this happens, for my sake. Iâm getting older, you know.â She shoves Abbyâs shoulder with hers gently and squeezes her hand. âI love you. Even if you have ruined my makeup.â
That has Abby on alert, her eyes widening as she looks at Tess to find the once perfect mascara smudged under her eyes. âDid I make you cry? Mâsorryââ
âI give a shit about you, Abby. When youâre hurt, Iâm hurt because youâre in pain, and sometimes I donât know what to do to make you feel better,â She admitted softly. âIf you think I can sit here and not cry when youâre telling me you hate yourself, then you are stupid. It breaks my heart to know you think so little of yourself. Youâre perfect, you hear me? No matter what is happening, youâre worth so much more. You deserve so much more than what heâs giving you. If heâs the reason you think of yourself so little of yourself like this, Iâll park my foot up his ass.â
A wet laugh rips through Abbyâs throat before she can stop it and Tess is just happy that Abbyâs already feeling just a little better. âI would like to see that,â She giggled, wiping her eyes and shaking her head. âItâs notâ I think Iâve just started hating myself over the years because itâs easier than loving myself. I donât know, sometimes I don't think mâgood enough for anyone so hating myself seemed easier, mâworking on it, I promise.âÂ
âYouâre good enough, Abigail. Youâre more than enough. I donât care if it takes me years, iâll make you see how perfect you are. You deserve more than heâs ever given you. I just wish you would see that. She makes you happy, he doesnât. You and her work. I only had to find you both looking at each other with that smile, and I knew. You canât hide anything from me, ever. Itâs impossible.â Tess smiled, a smile that Abby missed when she was always so serious.
âI love you,â Abby chokes out, voice slightly rough and raspy, but she gets it out. âI know I donât tell or show you enough, but I do love you. I know that I don't say anything enough, but thank you, and not just for tonight. It has been for every night, every day, since I was younger. For never giving up on me when some days I really wished you would. Some days, you would look at me, and I just wished you would give up on me because I didnât want to disappoint someone else I love.â
âYou never disappoint me, Abby. You could never do that.â
âNot even right now?â
âYou might have put yourself in a stupid place right now, but that doesnât mean youâve disappointed me. Thatâs something that you could seriously never do. You just need to think about what you want and do it. No more holding back. Take that leap and go for what you want.â
âI want her. Iâve always only ever wanted her, Tess.â
âThen stop crying in my arms and go get your girl.âÂ
âÂ
Two Years LaterâŚ
Abby, now more than ever, wonders if sheâs truly become this malignant villain. Even with good intentions, she still manages a way to wreak havoc in your life â only wishing to be your savior but somehow ending up your heinous villain. The rose colored glasses covering your perfect, beautiful eyes, not being able to see whatâs so clearly in front of you.Â
For there is a day like today, where she canât even stand to look at herself in the mirror. Itâs a truly, unsettling, aching feeling that wells in her chest before it sinks to her stomach. Silently, she tells herself, this will be the last. You deserve more than this.Â
She promises to end things with Owen, her long standing boyfriend, the needle in your spin. The needle in the haystack you need to pluck and throw into another dimension. Every time you bring him up, Abby closes herself off or redirects the subject. If thereâs one thing she despises, itâs talking about him when sheâs with you. She tells herself it doesnât but the guilt consumes her, not for being with you but because sheâs unable to give you what you deserve.Â
Abby canât quite stop herself from dragging her feet in the mud, the impending blow of her relationship with Owen is near but still halts. A safety net may be the cause of her hollow demise, but itâll be there to catch her.Â
You question why she needs him at all.Â
Late night booty calls where sheâll have to make up some lie to Owen as she seeks the refuge of the nectar she craves on her salivating lips, how the insatiable blonde wonât stop until youâre coating over lips entirely, the sweet sensation dancing on her tongue as she swallows every drop. When sheâs practically dying for a taste, you never say no to her, even if you should, you're not capable of it. Even if her intentions are well placed she still takes advantage of the situation.Â
Abby wonders if itâs obvious how much craves for a moment of your undivided attention. Do you know how much you replay in her mind? The moans rivaling a symphony, the one she imagines as Abby gets off to the thought of you. Thick, long fingers stuffed in her cunt as she contemplates if you do the same. It seems you must when youâre calling her tonight, moaning her name softly as you beg her to come over. Even if she was just there last night, Abby would come running like a dog digging for their favorite bone.
As long as you asked, she will always come.Â
It isnât until after when youâre so blissed and fucked out, the guilt surfaces again, practically substituting the blood supply pumping through her veins. Hazy eyes clouded with lust and love look at her, the damn look always getting her in this bed with you. To no avail, itâs a cycle she created and enabled, the two of you too weak with need to break.Â
Abby feels shame when she doesnât let the love reach her eyes, the love that reaches yours every time you look at her. Sheâs envious of it. How open your love expands even when sheâs done nothing but tangle you up in her web of lies and deceit.Â
Sheâs only snapped out of her thoughts when you run your fingers through her golden hair, her blocked blues, void of any tell of what sheâs thinking looks at you again, really looks instead of just staring off into whatever has her so tripped up. She tries anyway.Â
âBaby, come back to me.âÂ
The pad of your thumb caresses her scarred cheek, delicately tracing patterns into her soft skin, but you know she wonât come back. Not mentally, not until thereâs distance from what the both of you did. Until it happens again and this is where the both of you land again.Â
âI donât knowââ You shut her up, lips locking with her even softer ones, pink and swollen from the past few hours.Â
âStop. Please? Would you just look at me?âÂ
âI amâŚlooking.âÂ
âBaby?â You speak softly, so delicate it makes Abby nearly whine. The name of endearment, as soon as it falls, engraves your name on another piece of her heart. Each time youâre sweeter to her than she deserves, a little part of her is given to you. Abby isnât sure how much she has left that doesnât belong to you.Â
Every bit of it is yours to have, even if you decide you donât want it, her heart will always belong to you.Â
âYeah?â She leans into your touch, even if itâs just for a singular second, you pick up on it.Â
âCan you stay tonight?â You plead as you crane your neck to look at her from a better angle, fully coming off your high, until itâs replaced with a new one. Every second you look at her it feeds the endless addiction you have for her, the drug you need more and more every day.Â
âYeah, Iâll stay.â Her voice is full of rasp as she agrees to your request. Then she uses her strength to pull you back on top of her. Your face rests against hers as you find warmth in the crook of her neck, smelling the familiar oak scent laced with vanilla as she runs a gentle hand up and down your spine. Even if youâre afraid this will stop at any given moment, you cherish the moment.Â
Abby starts telling you about her day, all the stupid little shit, just boring no sequential errands she was running to fill her days. Itâs strangely domestic, a side she doesnât expose often. With you or anyone. The complaints about Abbyâs stone wall are said often to Mel. How sheâs nearly stoic these days, staying in the confinements of her own mind, watching as the world passes her by instead of living in it.Â
What neither of them neglect to know she is, but itâs done in such secrecy the omission must die on your tongue. The dirty little secret you must protect like an oath you donât remember swearing, but with Abby itâs all the same.Â
You would do anything for her. As much as it hurts in the big moments when she canât be here with you, it heals you when sheâs in your bed, caressing your back, whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Promises you want to believe, a complement of how pretty you are, or how much she misses you in the time youâre subjected to spend apart. Itâs when youâre strong, when you want more but know you canât have it so it makes you upset. Enough to the point where you distance yourself but ultimately this is where it always ends up. Not just for you, but for her too.Â
âMâsorry Iâve been avoiding you.â You confess, easier to say it when you donât have to look at her.Â
âItâs okay.â Abby thinks you should just leave her, cut her out of your life, leave her broken and bleeding. It should be the penance she pays for holding so much time in your life.Â
âItâs not. You wouldnât do it to me.â Abby sighs but she wraps you up in her strong arms, pulling you closer to her, if it was even possible. âI do sometimes, itâs not entirely true.âÂ
As you stroke her blonde hair, running your fingers through the strands you ask her something, a terrifying thought that feels you with so much dread, your hands begin to shake.Â
âAbby?â It isnât the usual way you say her name, itâs void of emotion which makes her create a slight distance so she can look at you. Youâre trying so hard not to cry, choking back the tears as but they start to slip, viciously without your permission. An instant, the girl below you starts wiping them away, doing her best to soothe you. âWhatâs wrong?â Laced with concern as you try to avoid her overpowering gaze, because if you do, you wonât get out what you need to say. Youâll fall into her, unable to find yourself, trapped in the abyss of the woman you love.Â
âJust promise me.âÂ
âPromise you what?âÂ
âPromise youâll be honest with me. Promise me if you get bored with me, if this becomes too much for you or if you decide itâs him and not me, youâll tell me. I can handle all of this but I canât handle being lied to or being shoved in the dark.âÂ
It doesnât take her more than a second to respond, âI promise. Youâll always have my honesty.â Abby locks her lips with yours, you whimper in her mouth, so loudly itâs nearly pathetic. She tastes the saltiness of your tears, the anguish funneling beneath you. Truthfully, she doesnât blame you. Two and a half years and youâre still here. Abby knows she doesnât deserve for you to be but you are. With the wedding coming up and her going with Owen, your place by her side is insignificant, making you wish things were different.Â
Abby tries to tell you how she feels through the kiss, without saying what she actually feels, what sheâs always wanted to tell you but canât. Itâs too cruel to say when Abby canât fully give herself to you. So, she holds you until you fall asleep in her arms and only then does she cry. Truly hating herself for breaking one of the only people sheâs ever truly loved, splitting you into two the longer she contemplates on what to do. She hopes youâre deep in sleep, unable to feel the tears kissing your shoulder because if anything has pushed her to the brink, itâs seeing the love of her life cry because of what sheâs done.Â
âÂ
Two week laterâŚ
Thursday. September 2024.Â
Abby couldnât stop moving, the entire ride to the airport in the shared uber with you by her side. Indifference. It was too much for her to hyperfixate on so she focused on the dreary cloud as gray as her depleted eyes, void of the natural blue tint it once held.Â
The ring on your thumb, an emerald stone, a gift from Abby for your birthday being constantly tapped with the blunt of your nail. Thereâs a craving Abby wants to satiate, a need bubbling at the service to link your fidgeting palm with hers but she canât.Â
This entire weekend she wonât be able to. Somehow, with the help of Owenâs oblivious nature, she convinced him itâd be a good idea to take separate flights due to her insane schedule which wasnât not true.Â
Just an exaggerated truth. At least thatâs what she told herself.Â
The ongoing fights with Owen, the pleading from you â rightfully so. Itâs tearing her in two different directions.Â
âAbsââ Your gentle touch lightly caresses her exposed forearm, âWeâre here.âÂ
Sheâs pulled back into reality with a touch so light and warm, Abby swears she sees stars. Even when youâre upset with her, your kindness still extends, something sheâs not quite sure what to do with. If she welcomes it, sheâs greedy for wanting to have her cake and eat it too. On the other hand if she dismisses you to ease her guilty conscience, it makes her into the malicious monster she never wants to be.Â
Abby carries both of your bags as you make your way through the airport. The only exception? Your personal carry-on you refuse to let her hold. She wants to question the action, but she lets it slip through the cracks.Â
The line to board is outrageously long. Absent-mindedly, Abbyâs head falls into the crook in your neck, her chest pressed against your back. She forgets she shouldnât feel the right to. Not when she promises so much but always tends to go back on her word.Â
Yet, you say nothing.Â
A part of you knows that if you say something, or try shrugging her off, itâs going to end in one of you saying the wrong thing, in a place at the wrong time, but on the other hand, you could never deny her touch, or being so close to her. She was intoxicating, maybe Abby didnât think so, but to you, she was all you wanted, all you wanted to be around. So when her body suddenly relaxes more against yours, and your hand wraps around to keep her up, her eyes, ones that were on the brink of falling asleep, snap open, you know sheâs got questions. Many of them. Many you donât have the heart of words to reply to. So you both say nothing, again. A silent action that holds everything. Abby doesnât need to ask whatâs going on in your head, the same way you donât need to ask whatâs going on in hers. You both already know.Â
By the time you make it onto the plane, Abby feels even closer. So close that you can smell the pinewood body wash she used this morning, the smell of her mint gum she keeps chewing on when you got the uber. You were so caught up in your own mind, and your crazy thoughts that you didnât even realize or feel the hand she had on your lower back, guiding you to where you were both seated. It was natural for her to do that when it was just you two. Keeping you safe, always having an arm around you just in case anything were to happen.jkÂ
Her touch always made you melt, she knew it, yet she didnât stop herself from letting go.
âDo you want the window seat, or?â Abby left the question open, itâs the most sheâs said to you all morning, her eyes did most of her talking whenever she would look at you, but even though you were somewhat upset with her, hearing her voice made you relax. âBabeâ the pet name rolls off her tongue so effortlessly and gently that she doesnât realize sheâs done it, itâs only when your head snaps up to look at her, with your lips parted, that she does. âShit, thatâs, mâsorry. I know youâre upset with me right nowââ
But you smile, maybe you laughed a little too, but she canât focus when youâre smiling at her like that. âAbs, sâokay. You say it a lot, it was going to happen.â you reminded her, fumbling with your ring again, a nervous habit youâre convinced only happens around her. âI know you like the window seat, even though you worry me when you completely zone out looking at the cloudsâ you teased, poking her in the shoulder lightly.  Â
âHey, clouds are relaxing to look at.â Abby shrugged, a cheeky smile curving up on her lips. âAnd i know you like being closer to the snacks when they bring them out, so we both winâ Sheâs teasing this time, and you let her. âBut you forget, you always make me buy you snacks before we go anywhereâ
âI donât make you, you offer to buy me them!â
âYou still take them though, donât you?â
âThatâs beside the point, Anderson, you know i love my snacks. Nothing will ever get in the way of me and them. No matter what you say.â
âNot even us?â
The question had your heart aching and you hadnât even sat down yet! Abby doesnât miss the way you look at her and then away from her, like you donât even know how to respond to that. She knows itâs too soon to be asking that, yet sometimes, her mouth runs before her brain can keep up with her. Something you did like about her. âNot here, Abby, pleaseâ your words came out as a whisper, eyes silently pleading at her.
âYouâre right, mâsorry, again. I seem to be fucking up a lot lately, donât i?â She smiles, but itâs one that doesnât reach her eyes like all the other times. Because she knows if she keeps asking, looking at you like that, acting like this is normal, itâs going to break you even more.Â
âYou havenât, youâre not, itâs just a lot, we can talk about it after, okay?âÂ
âAfter.â Abby nodded, the smile finally reaching her eyes.Â
Hope.
For the most part, once you had both sat in your seats, Abby by the window comfortably and you, on the outside seat, already patiently waiting for the snacks, the blonde hadnât uttered a single question that involved the pair of you. The one not long ago still lingered in your head, in your chest and it just consumed you. You were glad that she had decided to suddenly become quiet, looking out the small window in hopes she wouldnât accidentally spill another question that had you pulling more away from her.Â
She could handle a lot. Losing you was one she couldnât handle.Â
She knew she would lose you fully if she pressed too hard on a question.
Abby couldnât afford to let that happen.Â
Apart from the chatter of parents, and screaming children a few rows in front of you, Abby didnât move a muscle. It was funny. Sometimes if she were focused, she would grind her teeth together, you would only know that if youâve been around her long enough. You heard it one night. It was after a small fight with Owen, that she ended up at your apartment and you could hear the way she ground her teeth together from sitting beside her, but this time, not a single peep from her. Not even a flinch when one of the children screamed at the top of their lungs.Â
She didnât even drop hints that she knew you were looking over at her. Abby was used to your stare, used to the feeling of knowing when you would have your gaze on her whenever you had the chance that is, so maybe this was just her playing hard to get, but it still came as a shock that she wasnât even phased. One second sheâs missing you and your touch, to then not even caring about it or having it the next. After all this time, she was still hard to figure out, just like she was when you met her.
youâll figure her out, again, if you have to.
â
Friday. September 2024.
The night, one thatâs supposed to be happy and cheerful, doesnât seem to be like that for Abby. Donât get her wrong, sheâs happy, happy for those around her, happy for those having fun, happy for Joel and Tess on their engagement. I mean, why wouldnât she be happy for them? it was Joel and Tess, the same Tess thatâs been there for Abby during a few, more like multiple, rough patches in her life, listened to her when she felt like anything she did wasnât good enough, spoke to her about you, and how shitty she feels about not giving you everything you deserve. The same Tess thatâs never let her down, but as she stands here, away from everyone else who seems to be enjoying it, cradling a bottle of beer in her hand, Abby wants to run. She isnât sure why. All she knows is that the longer she watches the people around her, watches you, she wants the ground to swallow her whole, chew her up, and spit her back out.
Abby picks lamely at the label, easily torn away by the condensation of the bottle of beer, itâs all she can do at the moment. Owen seems to be interested in the topics Mel is bringing up. Any other night, she might feel her blood boiling in her presence but she finds herself otherwise occupied. The barstool sheâs nursing supports her thighs, Owenâs cologne is so strong she almost finds herself gagging on the musky oak, the one she hates. It reminds her of you, ironically enough.Â
Youâre the antithesis of him. Abby couldnât find one similarity if she tried. All hours for the rest of her life could be spent on this one task, yet it would always remain unfinished. The softness of your skin, putting the finest silk to shame. She thinks of your kind heart, the patience that extends to her in ways she doesnât feel deserving of. On more days than she has enough hands to count, youâve dropped your entire list of responsibilities for her. When thereâs been no one else, thereâs always been you.
Owen doesnât even notice how her jaw clenches, the muscles constricting against the harsh grind of her teeth, the grim frown gracing her sunkissed face, or even the way her firm hand fists the glass so hard, Abbyâs just a few moments waiting for it to blow. Part of her, however small it may be, wishes for the glass to pierce her sensitive porcelain skin. Maybe then youâd actually care instead of being lost in the shining emeraldâs of Ellie fucking Williams.Â
Abby wishes she crushed her skull the first chance she got.
Or maybe break her fingers.
She has an endless list.
One that seems to get shorter whenever she finds you. Her only reason is you.
Abby hates the way Ellieâs hands find refuge on your lower back, the same place she loves to place her own whenever sheâs close to you. She doesn't know why the way your face and smile light up at something sheâs said to you, tears Abby's heart into pieces. Just the way you look into Ellieâs eyes and laugh is like an arrow just got shot through her heart. So many promises sheâs made you, and the longer the seconds and minutes pass, she feels like youâre forgetting all about them. Maybe she only has herself to blame. No, she knows she is the only one to blame.Â
You werenât even hers, and she was losing you to someone who had already taken enough from her. That scares her. It scares her with how far she would go for you. Just to see you happy, safe, and smiling. There isnât a single thing she wouldnât do for you.Â
Sheâs scared to be yours, but sheâs terrified to not be yours.Â
Your eyes found hers like a magnet, almost as if you were trying to find her, and Abbyâs heart flutters at the sight when you smile at her. A smile she has devoted months upon months of trying to bring out of you with her shitty jokes and silliness. The prior worries and doubts seem to disappear into the back of her mind, disbursing like an open fire thatâs slowly burning out, and she gives you a small wave. A wave that has you waving her over, wanting her to be closer, needing her to enjoy herself.
âAbby, if you donât get over here, mâgoing to drag you off that stool!â You yelled over the music, your giggle sending another flutter in her chest. Did you seem to forget Ellie? Abby thought as she placed the bottle on the counter and sighed deeply through her nose.Â
Fumbling with her jacket sleeve cuff links, Abbyâs eyes, oneâs that you love to look at, stay locked to yours as she slowly makes her way towards you, a familiar look sparkling in those blue orbs of hers, and she has the nerve to fucking smirk one sheâs close enough. The blonde looks over at Ellie, that harsh resentment bubbling back up, before looking at you again with her hand out towards you. No words, just actions being thrown your way. âHow gentlewomanly of youâ you grinned, placing your hand in hers and a soft gasp slipped past your lips when she pulls you right into her chest. Not even a sheet of paper could fit between you both. Abby didnât care who was around, and who was going to complain about her dancing with you?
What you both donât notice is the way Mel suddenly stops her conversation with Owen, who was mindlessly babbling and yapping on about whatever the fuck he was talking about and cocked her head to the side when she spotted you and Abby. How one of her hands was now pressed against your lower back, the other holding onto yours. Yours seemingly comfortably on her shoulder.Â
Like you were so used to doing this with her.
âWhat the fuck are you looking at? I was trying to tell youââ Owens words get cut short when he, still oblivious as usual, turns around when he catches Melâs stare, one that wasnât directed at him, and his eyes land on Abby. His girlfriend. Who was way too close to you. Dancing like you werenât in a room full of people. Like you want people to fucking know.Â
He doesnât even seem to catch the way she looks at you. The small grin on her face that, for you, holds so much more than just an expression. To the way, her fingers flex against your back with each step you make to the sound of the music playing loudly over the speakers. Not to mention, she way she lowers her head, lips grazing the shell of your ear so softly that you almost whimper against her. âThis dress, sâpretty. Youâre prettyâ was all she whispered, and pulled away before you had time to respond.Â
Your eyes, without your want, flicker to the people crowding around one of the tablets, and your heart suddenly drops, as does your shy smile when you lock eyes with Owens. A clenched-jawed Owen that looks seconds away from bursting into flames. âAbs,â you couldnât help but mumble, body and brain refusing to look away from him. âHe looks angryâ
âWe are only dancing. Nothing wrong with thatâ She growled, not necessarily at you, but at the entire situation. She canât touch or hold you the way she wants to. Poor girl canât even say what sheâs already thinking, to you, without making a scene. âHeâs not gonna do anything.â She states firmly. âHe knows this night is important to Joel and Tess, and he knows their happiness is important to me. He wonât do say or anything to youâÂ
âBut what about to you?â
âThen let him.â
By the time the words tumble from her mouth, youâre pulling both your hands away from her when Owen is suddenly making his way towards you both. The warmth and safety you brought Abby, being ripped away from her, had her jaw locking and eye twitching. âAbbyâ He smiles, although you know itâs fake.Â
âWhat?â Her reply comes out somewhat slightly harsh which has him doing a double take and looking at you with angry eyes, again. Ones you were slightly getting used to already. âWe were dancing here, youâre ruining it. Did you want something?â
âDo you want to dance?â
Is he fucking serious?
Blinking away her thoughts repeatedly, Abby canât help but turn around to face her so-called boyfriend and raise her eyebrow at his question. âYou want to dance? Now? After youâve practically ignored me the entire time, only because mâdancing with someone else?â She didnât care if her words came out mean and cruel. She only can handle so much.Â
âI wasnât ignoring you, Absââ
âSure as fucking hell looked like you wereâ The blonde growled, the sound of her teeth grinding together had you looking up at her with wide eyes, and before you could comprehend what you were doing, you wrapped your hand around her arm and tugged her.Â
âAbby sâokay, letâs just go get some air, okay?â You pushed gently, silently hoping and praying in your head she would take the hint you were throwing and go. âWe donât need to cause a scene at their rehearsal dinner, pleaseâ
âWhat? Are you her guard dog now or something?â Owen canât stop before the question slips off the tip of his tongue, with a laugh. Not even when Abbyâs looking at him like she wants to kill him with her bare hands for simply thinking of such things. âCome on, Abby, i know you like to please people butââ
âBut nothing.â Abby was quick to cut him off. âYou know nothingâ
âWhy are you suddenly being such a bitch?â
Abby, who would do anything to snap at someone if she really wanted to, stepped back from Owen and raised an eyebrow at him. âAnd you wonder why i donât want to suddenly fucking dance with you. Grow the fuck up, Owen. First, you call me a dog, then you call me a bitch. If anyoneâs being a bitch, itâs you because youâre mad we were dancing. Doing nothing wrongâ She replied calmly, but the way her hands were twitching at her sides, told you a different story. âi need some fucking air, this room feels like itâs going to suffocate me if iâm near you any longerâ
Abbyâs walking away before you have time to ask if sheâs even okay.
Angrily eyeing up Owen, whoâs now looking down at his feet awkwardly before looking over at Mel, somewhat pleading for her to say something, you canât help but let out a gentle scoff. âCanât even go and check on your girlfriend to see if sheâs alright? What kind of âboyfriendâ are you supposed to be? Do we have to pay extra for giving a shit about her?â You laughed.Â
âOh fuck off, this is your fault!âÂ
You exhaled a deep sigh, his words stinging you in a way that hurt, but you didnât want to show that it affected you, so you just smiled sarcastically at him. âGo wag your tail to Mel, mâsure she would rather see you than anyone else would, dick breathâ
You hadnât seen the way both of them looked at you like a deer in headlights.Â
Abby was hard to find sometimes, most of the time she would disappear so fast that it was like she just went completely invisible. Other times, she would have simply gone home and never left her apartment again, but this was different. She wasnât at home, and she didnât know this place like the back of her hand. So surely finding her would be slightly easier.
Luck, or whatever they call it these days, must have been on your side as you found the blonde slumped on one of the benches, jacket crumpled beside her with her head thrown back and sighing deeply. Of all places she could have hidden, she chose to hide in the most obvious place. The fucking garden? âUsually when youâre mad, youâve already drunk 3 bottles of beer and are having some kind of psychotic breakâ Your voice rang out, snapping her back into reality. âAre you having a psychotic break?â
âDoes it look like mâhaving a fucking psychotic break?â She laughed. Deep and raspy. A sound that always has your thighs clenching together no matter the place or time.
âYouâre pretty good at masking your emotions, so you could beâ You shrugged, a small bite in your words as you placed yourself beside her. âBut you already knew that, didnât you?â
âDid you come out here just to piss me off? Because if you did, itâs workingâ
Your eyes found hers, and you couldnât even stop the way your breath hitched in your throat at the lazy grin plastered on her face. âNo, i came to check on you to see if you were okay, but him calling you a dog didnât bruise your ego that much so iâll leave if you want?â
Her hand reached out as you moved, her cold and rough ones grabbing onto your arm gently that you gasped at the action and pouted. âNo. Stay, donât leave, mâsorryâ She apologized, suddenly feeling too vulnerable and scared. Too open. âMâsorry, i know you donât have to stay, especially with how iâve treated you. I donât want to be here, sâall too much for me to handle. Being close to you, and not being able to do anything is driving me insane. I miss youâ Abby admitted, thumb brushing across the skin of your knuckles. âIâI need youâ
You donât see the flicker of vulnerability or hurt in Abbyâs eyes, you just look at her, trying to figure out her words. She didnât expect you to chuckle. âYou need me?â You repeated, shaking your head and scoffing. âIf you need me, like you say, why do you push me away? Why do you never pick me? Why do you always end up picking a guy who doesnât give a shit about you? A guy who would rather see you hurt, than happy? What does Owen have that i donât, Abby?â
âBecause mâscared ill fuck this up. Believe it or not, but youâre the only good thing i have, i canât fuck that up. I canât fuck you up. Do you think i donât think about you when iâm with him? Because youâre all i think about, and it drives me nuts because i canât do anything about it. I want you, i always want you, but iâm terrified youâll realise iâm just not it. That iâm not enough for you. Youâre the only thing i think about, but i donât want to ruin you or what we have.âÂ
You create some distance, venturing off down the makeshift isle displayed in the front of the garden. Florals formed in an arch, bigger than youâd ever seen, didnât really seem like Joel and Tessâ style, but it sure was beautiful. The pops of coral and different tones of pink rooted in a deep green. You find a moment of peace in the silence, not knowing what will be left between the two of you once the secret youâd been holding spills.Â
âAbigailâŚâ You take a deep breath trying to muster the courage, hoping itâs buried somewhere beneath you, only needing to be dug out.Â
Abby finds her heart dropping when she sees you standing under the arch. She thinks itâs cruel, just a glimpse of a future she wants so desperately but she doesnât even know where to begin. How can she earn you now? After everything sheâs doneâŚis there any redemption to be found?Â
âYou are ruining us. Each time you tell me youâre leaving but stay with him snuffs out everything we have.â Abby stands wanting to console you, but the look in your eyes keeps her at bay. The tears building in your beautiful eyes, and itâs not that youâre distraught, youâre clearly angry. Frustrated doesnât even begin to cover the overflow of emotions swarming through you.Â
Youâre exhausted with co-existing with him, pretending everything is fine and normal. That heâs the one who makes her happy, heâs the one who knows what she wants, what she needs â that heâs the one.Â
âTell me why.â Your tone is firm, hands crossed over as shiver in the crisp air of the spring wind. âTell me why itâs him and not me.âÂ
âWhat?â Abby bites back, her pearly whites grinding into each other as she nearly snarls. âYou canât be serious.âÂ
Anger starts to swirl beneath the deep pools, the one she hides so well, not even the best could decipher what she hides, all of the sweet nothings she wishes she could speak of but doesnât. Every time she wants to lash out at Owen for not treating her right but doesnât. The love she holds yet hides under lock and key. All of it is kept within her, only for her to know and see, but the anger slips.Â
Itâs evident the moment you tell her â Itâs Owen not me.Â
âHave you lost your goddamn mind?â Abby stalks you like youâre her prey, getting closer and closer to you. Your hands are unable to keep still when sheâs so close to you, making her overwhelming presence known. You wonât look at her and it pisses her the fuck off to no degree. Why canât you just see how much she needs you? âAfter everything. Everything weâve shared, youâre just gonna stand there, ask me some bullshit like that?âÂ
Youâve never been the one to have Abbyâs anger directed towards you, youâve witnessed it on others, but never yourself. Was it normal to feel so small against someone youâve known for years? Against someone who only has to look at you, hold you in their arms, and tell you that everything is okay?
âThen why canât you justââ
âItâs always been you!â Abby shouts, her voice so loud that the birds, who were calmly in their nests, flutter and fly away. âSo what else do you want me to fucking do?!â
That was your final nail in the coffin.
âI want you to choose me. I want you to want me the way I want you. I donât want to be someone you only want when heâs not around. To be first. Mânot fucking asking you for much, Abigail. Just to be the first in your life. Thatâs all.â
âYou know itâs not that easyâ
âItâs never fucking easy with youâ You scowled, eyes fluttering and watching her abruptly turning away from you. Even if youâve known her for years, she was cautious of who saw her like this. Or cautious whenever it came to her emotions. She didnât want to be seen as weak. Tonight though, tonight you didnât care what you said or did, you just wanted her to listen. Which is why you struggled to keep your mouth shut as she walked away. âDo you really think Owen gives a single fuck about you when heâs too busy shoving his tongue down Mel's throat like sheâs some kind of hydration?âÂ
If you didnât know Abby as well as you did, you would have cowered at the way her body halted in her steps, turned around slowly, and even from the distance between you both, you could see how tight she was clenching her jaw. âExcuse me?â
âAbby thatâs notââ
âNo.â She laughed, more so dryly as she shook her head. âOpen that fucking mouth and repeat what you said. Câmon, remember when i tell you to use your words? Yeah, fucking use them then. Say it againâ Sheâs in front of you again before you can blink, unsure of how she even moved that fast. âDonât hold back now, you want my attention? You got it. Come onâ
âAbby, please i didnât mean to say thatâ You frowned, fumbling with the ring on your finger nervously. âMâsorryâ
âYouâre sorry? Youâre asking me to pick between you both even though you kept this entire thing to yourself? You knew this entire time and you what? Thought if i admitted how much i want you, i wouldnât be as hurt when you told me? Use that pretty head of yours, youâre not fucking stupid, of course, it would fucking hurt meâ
âMâsorryââ
âBut youâre not.â Abby laughed. âYouâve been fine keeping it from me. If you were sorry, you would have told me, no?â
âItâs not like we are perfect either. Look at what weâre doing. Weâre just as bad!â
âBut that never stopped you coming over late at night and begging me to fuck you, did it? Never once complained when i had you on my bed, fucked out your brain, did you? If it was so bad, you would have stayed away. If this entire thing was bad, you would have told me to fuck off, wouldnât you? You wouldnât have kept pulling me along if it was so bad. So no, youâre not sorry, youâre just sorry that you got caught and your big mouth let me know whatâs happening.â
âAbbyââ
âDonât you dare start crying right nowâ Sheâs warning, looking at you angrily. If looks could kill, she would have already killed you by now. âI was going to break up with him, you know? After Joel and Tess had their wedding. I was going to do everything to make it special for us, and thenâ then you had to go and fucking do thisâ She scoffed, stepping away from you. âItâs always been you, you fucking know that, and i would have fucking broken up with him if you gave me a little more timeâ
You can feel your heart slowly breaking as you just watch Abby move away from you. âAbby, please, we can talk about this!â You pleaded, taking a couple of steps, trying to reach her. âWe can talk about it, we can, pleaseâ
But she doesnât stop. Not even when the sounds of your cries fill her ears. Something she would always do. Always stopping if youâre upset or hurt. She just leaves, not even looking back, with the faintest. âI canât even look at you right now.â
â
After spending several hours crying in the garden, staring at the stupid floral arch, one that you couldnât help but picture Abby and you underneath. All the countless nights spent together, seeing a future in her eyes, now it seems hopeless. In the heat of your despair, you revealed the tight lipped secret youâd been holding, ruining everything. In her eyes you can still see it, the betrayal and hurt, but not from who she expected it from.Â
You have a craving building, wondering what sheâs thinking, and if she really meant what she said. Even if she says itâs always been you, saying it is one thing, actually standing behind those words is another entirely. Pathetically, you stayed there, crossing your fingers behind your back as you awaited her return but she never came. You truly, royally, fucked things up.Â
It didnât stop from the anger rolling off you as well as the anguish. You never wanted her to know that you knew about his extra curricular activities. The selfish part of you; the one that seems to win mostly, you wanted her to pick you because she loves you, not to be a second choice or just a side piece of ass.Â
Barefoot and heartbroken, you wander back to the lobby of the hotel, just to find Mel and Owen together so impossibly close with each other at the bar you wonder why Owen and Abby even bother staying together. Itâs so clear, to anyone else with eyes, they are just wrong. Neither of them fit the way youâre supposed to when you love someone, when you actually care about the other person, yet she wants to savor his feelings for what reason? You werenât sure you would ever understand why Abby did the things she did.Â
The only person Abby trusted is herself. Hiding behind the mask she fronts, never fully letting anyone into the feelings brewing inside her but leaving her ultimately â empty.Â
Begrudgingly, you decide to take a shot of tequila, basking in your lost hope before making your way to your hotel room.Â
You arenât walking that long before you can feel the pain in the heels of your feet, the shoes you picked for tonight slowly becoming a bad idea, as you spot your room. Reaching into your bag, the strap slowly falling off your shoulder, you grumbled softly under your breath when you didnât feel the small thin key card that you knew you had earlier and instantly slumped your forehead against the wooden door. âAre you fucking kidding me?â You mutter to yourself.Â
Deep in your own head, you donât notice Abby sluggishly yet tiredly making her way down the corridor, unaware you were mumbling and cursing to yourself as you simply grabbed and shook the door handle with so much anger that youâre surprised it didnât break.
âOh, fuck you, you stupid fucking door!â Your foot collided with the door, annoyance spiraling from within you, the yelling and action had you gaining the attention from none other than Abby herself. Did you want it? Yes, but did you want it when she was angry? You werenât sure.Â
âYouâre not supposed to kick the door, you know?â She couldnât help but mutter, watching you struggle with an amused smile on her lips.Â
âBe grateful mânot kicking you.âÂ
She laughs, or you think she laughs, and hummed at your obvious struggle. Your threat not affecting her as much as you wanted it to. âDid you lose it?â
âDid i lose it?â You repeated, hand gripping the handle tighter with a clenched jaw. âDo you really think iâm the kind of person to lose a fucking key card?â
âYou tell me, you canât get into your room, it seems like you did lose itâ Abby points out the most obvious thing before sighing softly under her breath. âOr you wouldnât be stuck out here.â
Turning your head quickly at her words, you growled at her and glared in her direction. âWould it make you happy if i admit that yes, i fucking lost my key card?â
âIt might.â Abby chuckled, tongue clicking against the side of her cheek in amusement again. You notice that glint in her eyes again, the same one youâve seen countless times in those baby blues, but she doesnât say much, not that she has to. âYou can uh, stay in my room, if you want?â
Are you hearing her correctly?
âYou want me to stay in your room? Didnât you say you couldnât stand looking at me anymore?âÂ
âThatâs notââ Sheâs pausing, running her hand over her face in frustration. âI donâtâ this is just hard for me, okay? Can you try to reason with me?â
âMâtrying, but every time i try to, you throw it back in my face. You throw it in my face like this entire situation is my fault.â You found her stepping closer, not that you noticed seconds prior, but as you get your words out, you notice sheâs listening. âI just want you to understand.â
âUnderstand what?â
âThat I just want to be yours, and it hurts that you donât understand, or you do and would rather me not think of you like that, which just hurts even more.â You sighed, finally looking at her. âI want to love you the way you deserve, but you wonât let meâÂ
âSânot that i donât want you to, i donât deserve you.â Abby chokes out, every emotion and feeling, that sheâs tried to keep buried deep, finally creeping up on her. âIâve never deserved you, you deserve better than me. You always haveâ
âDonât you think thatâs my decision to make?âÂ
âI donât want you to make the wrong one. Iâm the wrong decision for you.â
Her words, ones that cut deep, have you frowning and shaking your head, like you donât want to believe her. Sheâs always been hard on herself, especially when it comes to love, thinks that she doesnât deserve it. Everyone does, and you know that sheâs trying. âYou are the only right decision iâve ever made.â Your body was closer to hers, she could smell the soft perfume, almost the smell of the scented lipgloss you chose for tonight. âYou are worth it, and it kills me that you donât see it. You donât see that under all the anger, all the feelings, everything you build up to protect yourself, you just want to feel safe. You will always be safe with me. You are perfect, i just want you to let me show you just how perfect you are. Especially to me.â
Your words struck something in her brain, thoughts going a little too fast her to keep up with, but that doesnât stop her from wrapping her hand around your wrist, and tugging you closer to her, face quickly burying in the crook of your neck, something she does each time sheâs alone with you, and the feeling of her nose brushing against the collum of your throat seconds later has you softly sighing and threading your fingers through the loose strands of hair. âLet me show you.â You whispered, gripping her jacket tightly. âPlease let me show you.â
Abby lets you push her towards her bedroom door, still holding each other just as tight while her hand slipped into the soft fabric of her pocket. âWould you just let meââ Abby curses under her breath as she attempts to fish out her hotel card. You have her pushed against the door with your weight, keeping her pinned by your pelvis.Â
âI should let you do whatever you want? Like youâve been so nice to me, right?â Pulling her by the navy blue tie, swollen lips ghosting over hers, she whimpers like a bitch in heat. You give her everything, anything and everything she wants, you so graciously provided but sheâs been thoughtless. Careless with how youâve felt. Itâd be so easy for her to push you off, pick you up and toss her on her shoulder before throwing you on the bed and having her way with you.Â
But she likes this.Â
Knowing sheâs in the wrong, underneath your mercy, begging for an inch of your good graces. Abbyâs practically salivating, begging to have you in her mouth, wanting to have the everlasting taste of you. Hell, she knows she shouldnât but she thinks of you every time Owen kisses her. She wonders if he can taste your cum on her lips. After the first time, she wondered if he could clock the crimson of her cheeks, the flush she still was feeling from squirting for the first time. The thighs she could barely keep still, a proper effort made in order to keep herself up.Â
Youâre the first and only to even want to have the power over, she enjoys it â sure as hell gets off to it.Â
âAnswer me.â Your grip on her chin is iron, her blue eyes pouting as her posture slouched.Â
âI havenât been nice. I know that. Iâve been making you wait too long.â Abby shudders as your dress slips higher, as she gets lost in the exposed cleavage.
âAbby, babygirl, my eyes are up here.â Her eyes pick up to find you cold gaze, but thereâs warmth. Dripping like golden honey and she wishes for it to fall on every inch of her body just so you can reclaim it as your own. She wants to feel your lips, your tongue, whatever the fuck youâll give her, Abby craves it. Â
âI know, mâsorry, itâs justââ Your hands smooth over her toned torso, the crisp button up feel smooth under your touch, but itâs thin enough for Abby to feel your magnetic touch, but you stop at her breasts.Â
âHe doesnât touch you anymore, does he?â Abby shakes her head furiously. In this moment, sheâs thankful she opted out of a bra tonight. Teasingly, run over the fabric, back and forth as she feels the bud pebble against your touch. Tortuously, Abbyâs breath only begins to grow heavier and youâve barely even done a thing to get her where she needs to be.Â
âFuckââ You begging to pull at the braid, undoing her long blonde locks, making them accessible for you to pull on whenever she decides to she doesnât want to be teased any longer. âNo, he doesnât. Never like this, hasnât touched me, made me feel like this, ever. Just you.âÂ
âThatâs right, babygirl. You always need to come back to me. Canât get your fill elsewhere, or be filled. He canât do much with the poor little pathetic excuse of a cock.â You let go of her chin before whispering in her ear, âNeed me so deep in this pretty pussy of yours. Even those precious long fingers of yours canât hit as deep as me.âÂ
Itâs then you reach in her left pocket, opening the hotel room with her key card. âCâmon, you owe me a favor, or twoâŚ..maybe even three.â You claim her lips as your own, she belongs to you whether she wants to admit it or not.Â
âI think I need a reminder from last time.âÂ
Abby smirks, a soft smile falling over her pink lips, she leads you into the room. Her own personal siren, one word from your lips and sheâll do anything you want. Abby only has the door locked and by the time she turns around, your dress pools at your feet.Â
âShitââ Abby curses, youâre playing fucking dirty. You know she canât be up here too long, Owenâs expectant of her to return, or so she thinks.Â
âYouâre killing me, angel.âÂ
Mouth practically salivating, at the sight of your nearly bare silhouette, the moonlight coming through the balcony accentuating every curve, your skin glowing as you wait for her to move. Abbyâs contemplating, trying to decide what she wants to do first.Â
She gets lost in her head, replaying tonightâs events in her head, how she couldnât keep her cool, not even in front of her boyfriend. The thought of you with someone else too unbearable for her to bear, the incessant need she has instilled within her to be close to you.Â
âThatâs the point but stop suffering, babygirl.â Using her favorite thing to your advantage, you bend over the edge of the bed. Emphasizing the curve of your spin. The seconds the words fell from between your lips, you didnât think she heard them at first, not with them being so gentle and soft. It wasnât until you shivered, and sucked in a deep breath when her fingers ran up and down your back, nails lightly scratching your skin that you smiled into your arms. âAbsâ ohâ You gasped, body tensing at the feeling of her pushing her leg between your legs, pressing the rough material of her pants against your cunt, the fabric of the bedsheet rubbing against you too, adding to the mix.
âShh,â She leaned down and whispered against your ear. âBet youâre so fucking wet, hm?â She hummed, softness gone right out the window, still trailing her fingers up and down your back. A devious smirk appeared on her lips at the way you shamelessly tried to grind against her leg. âCanât even wait, can you?â Her leg pushed harder on your cunt, eliciting a louder moan from between your lips. âThatâs too bad, you canât have whatever you want right nowâ She cooed mockingly, eyeing up the way your hands gripped the sheet below you, so tight she was worried you were going to hurt yourself. âGonna let me eat your sweet pussy? Let me show you how much i want you?â
Just like that, youâre putty in her skilled hands.Â
âYâYes, please, need youâ You choked out, quickly nodding your head at whatever she was saying to you. You werenât entirely sure, all you know is that you need her. Her hands, ones that you always love to have all over you, slip down and grip your hips. The action had you whimpering into the pillow, turning your head slightly to get a better look at her. The sight of her behind you, on her knees, licking her lips had yours parting. âAbby, please, want it, want youâ You sighed.
âBe patient, bratâ Abby scoffed, squeezing your ass in both her hands. âDonât make me shove your panties in your mouth to get you to shut the fuck up.â There was no true intention of doing so, behind her words, she loved hearing what she did to you. Maybe a little too much. âYouâve been so bad tonight, do you deserve me to eat your pussy, hm?â
âMâsorry, i amâ You sniffled, spreading your legs a little wider, tempting her in a way. Knowing she canât get enough of you. âPlease, iâll be so good, your good girlâ
âYeah?â She hummed, mouth watering at the sight of your cunt. Folds glistened before her as she sunk her teeth into one of your asscheeks, humming at the soft gasp she pulled from you. âYouâre gonna be my good girl, sâthat right?â She mocked, fingers slipping between your legs, and brushing against your clit. The choked whimper you let out had her grinning against your skin, lightly rubbing circles on your bud and holding you down on the bed with her free hand. âYouâre not lying?â
âNoâ Your words came out muffled from burying your face in the sheets, but your head shake was enough for her to understand. âMânot lying, iâll be so good for you, i promiseâ You added. Fingers gripping the white sheet tighter when sheâs rubbing harder circles. âJust need you to, to fuck me, pleaseâ
Youâre flinching, body shaking in her hold when out of nowhere sheâs spitting a glob of spit on your cunt, growling at the sight of your pussy clenching around nothing at such a small action that she knows you love. âIâll decide when i fuck youâ Was all she said, using the pad of her thumb and pressing against your second hole, smiling at your soft oh.Â
Her lips part, as do yours with a moan that has her stomach fluttering and cunt clenching around nothing when she lightly dips her thumb into your hole, your cunt begging for attention as a hum ripped through her throat. âFuck, knew you would love it too muchâ She groaned, watching the tight muscle hug her thumb effortlessly. âYeah, i knowâ Abby mocked.
âFuck, Abby, pleaseâ
âWhat are you even begging for?â She scoffed, a small bite in her question, fingers finding your neglected clit and laughing at your loud whine into the pillow when she continued her slow circles. âJust a needy slut, arenât you?â
âYour needy slutâ You whispered, looking down at her and shuddering at the feeling of her slowly rubbing at your clit, and sinking her thumb more into your ass. The sensation had moans and whimpers tearing from your throat. You pushed back against her, absentmindedly that is, and gasped loudly when her hand landed a light slap on your pussy.Â
âStop moving.â She warned with a growl. âYouâre gonna take what i give you, and if i think you deserve more, youâll get itâ Abby scoffed, smirking at the sight of you burying your face more into the pillows, the messy sheet as you nodded quickly, without shame, and licked your swollen lips. âThis is what you needed, hm? Getting your holes stuffed so you would shut the fuck upâÂ
Her words, mean ones at that, that you were used to hearing, has your face heating up, not a single ounce of shame in your body, just pride and need. Whenever Abby would get mean, yes, you were mortified the first time it happened during sex and how wet you had become, but now? she uses it to her advantage. As much as she would like. She had your body under control, and she didnât even have to do anything to reduce you to such a whimpering, pathetic mess under her.Â
The swipe of her thumb, a gentle touch, against your clit had you letting out a squeal, jolting on the bed and your eyes slowly started rolling in the back of your head. It was sinful, so sinful at how she was able to do this. Touch you with the lightest touches and have you pleading for more. Abbyâs lips parted, almost salivating at the sight of you clenching around her thumb, a silent plea as to say more. Which is why she doesnât expect the whimper that claws at your skin and rips out of your throat when sheâs pulling away completely. The feeling of being almost full, not as much as you wanted, to be taken from you.Â
âAbs? Whatââ
âYou get both holes filled when youâre good,â Abby tutted, fake cooing at your pleads, one sheâs so used to hearing coming from you. âGonna start crying because mânot giving you what you want? Yeah? Gonna start saying youâve been good enough? We both know thatâs a lie, babyâ
Are you crying? You werenât sure, nor did you care, but with how Abby was dancing her fingers dangerously close to where you need her, you might burst into flames if she didnât hurry up. âYou like it when i cry for youâ Comes one of your usual quipped replies. The undertone of brattiness doesnât go unnoticed by Abby.
But what you miss is the way she clenches her jaw, her eyes harden, and how sheâs quick to land a strike on your ass. Your body only gets so far up the bed with a whine before sheâs leaning hers over you, hands pinning your hips to the bed and she grazes the shell of your ear with her lips. The harshness of her breath hitting your face had you trying to push back against her. Trying to get something. âSuch a dirty fuckin slutâ Abby scoffed, sinking her nails into your skin and sure to be bruised in the morning. âYou like making it harder for yourself? You want me to punish you?â
âYou know all your punishments just make me wetter for you,â Your voice wavers, breathing slightly more ragged as her body presses down harder on you. âMakes me want you to fuck me harder. Want you to fuck me like youâve missed me.â
âOh,â Her laugh is one of mocking. You were so used to it that it didnât make you snappy at her anymore, but it still sent a shiver down your spine when it was directed at you, and you alone. âI do miss you, but mânot gonna just let you get away with being a fucking brat to me tonight because i miss you.â
âBut why? Donât you wanna fuck me, Abby?â You feigned innocence, turning your head enough for her to see the small pout on your lips that you were sporting. âBecause i want you to fuck me, fill me up like i know you can. Make me cum in ways only you know how. You fuck me so good, Abby, please, please. I know you wanna fuck into this mattress, Babyâ
Abby whimpers.Â
Sounds that are only reserved for your ears, and yours alone.
Youâll make sure of it.Â
She whimpers pathetically above you at your words, the blood rushes to her head and she can feel the wetness pooling between her legs the longer you try pushing yourself up against her, grinding against her shamelessly. âWanna fuck every single thought outta your pretty head so badâ She growls into your neck, everything inside her crumbling as you both just sluttily grind against each other.Â
âThen stop talking about it and fucking do it.â You spit. A noise so animalistic, youâre not sure you have ever heard it fall from her lips. With an entirely new level of greed, she claims your lips as her own, velvet tongue dominating yours as you can feel yourself practically melting. âGod, canât wait for you to shut the fuck up.â Abby mumbles against your lips. Her fingers undo the knot in her tie, releasing it from her collar as she holds both of your wrists with one, feeling the cool metal frame piercing your skin.Â
âIs this what you want?â Abby begins to bind your wrists to the bed, her thumb smoothing over skin gently as she tightens the silk fabric against you. âYou should be grateful Iâm not blind folding you. We both know you deserve it after tonight.â You laugh, manically. Watching the pleasure in her blues rise, she likes you under her will as she takes what she wants.Â
âShould I be grateful? Youâre not fucking me yetâŚare you?â You tilt your head to the side as Abby removes herself completely, the friction of her trousers evades your cunt, leaving you nothing to grind against. With a smirk as wide as youâve ever seen, she slowly removes her belt, slipping off her shoes as she throws the black belt on the floor.Â
âYou just donât know when to shut your mouth, do you? I have something that will.â Her voice lowers an octave as she spills the threat from her pink lips, slowly removing each article of clothing. Her button up shirt is first, leaving her topless in front of you, chiseled abdomen defined as she flexes her abs further. âWould you hurry up, Anderson?âÂ
The more your hips buck into thin air, the wider her smirk gets. âYeah, Iâll get right on that, boss.â Abby salutes you, having to disguise the laughing bubbling from her lips. The look you give her is deadly, trying to pull at the tie but to no avail you're stuck, under the mercy of whatever Abigail Anderson wants. The terror in your eyes furthers the slickness in Abbyâs boxers but she needs to focus. You are right where she wants you, with no intention of letting you have any satisfaction at the moment.Â
Maybe later if Anderson is feeling kind.Â
She slowly slides her trousers off, leaving her in just her boxers, your eyes focused on her glorious, blonde happy trail falling in the fabric. Concealed and out of your grip. âYou must be really frustrated if youâre saying Anderson, huh? Mhm, thatâs too bad. You could have been sitting on my face by now, angel.â She tsks, her tongue hitting the roof of her mouth as she does so.Â
âMâfine. Not frustrated at all, Anderson.âÂ
âNo?â Abby simply nods, putting the weight of her knee on the bed, her face tucked in the crook of your neck as she whispers in your ear, âWhy donât we put that to the test?â She bites on your ear, kissing your jaw sweetly. The only inkling of your sweet abby, the abby you love, but she leaves just as quickly as she came.Â
Without warning, she slaps your cunt, hard.Â
The sensation has you wanting to reach for her, pulling at the tie again, but youâre rendered useless. Your body quivers, her finger runs up your pussy, thumbing your clit so lightly it should be considered an unforgivable sin. Once you think sheâll move on, torture you in some other way, Abby decides to have fun and slap your clit this time, gasping the name you only call her in the bedroom. A name just reserved for the two of you.Â
âAlready, babygirl? Thatâs not veryâŚboss of you.â Abby licks the side of your neck, letting her teeth sink in delicately, you groan in response to her teasing words. âWould you stop calling me that, oh my fucking gââÂ
You feel two of her thick fingers protrude your dripping hole, sliding in with ease, âStop calling you what? God? Never gonna let you forget Iâm the only one who fucks like one.â Sheâs slow about it, wanting you to get just enough where it feels good, but not nearly enough to where you crave to be. Pitiful whines are all the evidence she needs, a token of your temporary agony is enough to satisfy her until you break.Â
âYouâre such an asshole sometimes, you know that?âÂ
âJust an asshole who knows how to fuck your ass.â Abby canât stop teasing you, not when youâre bucking up your hips into her fingers, moaning like a bitch in heat for more. The both of you know thereâs no getting out of this unless you tell her what she wants.Â
âAbby, please.â You beg, the confession comes too soon, but Abby grins wide as she pulls her face out of her neck. âThought my name was Anderson, boss?â Unpleasantly, you roll your eyes but she still looks very pleased with herself.Â
âSay my fucking name. You know what I want.â With her fingers nearly knuckle deep, she pushes further, kissing your g-spot. âSo pretty baby, sounds so pretty. Stop being a stupid, stubborn slut, yeah? Youâre already so wet for me. Donât you hear yourself?â She fucks you harder as you grind against her fingers, meticulously adding in a third finger.Â
âListen to your soaking cunt. You can be a brat, tell me how much you donât need, but sheâs always gonna sell you out, huh? Do you hear the sweet sound of your pussy, babygirl?â You nod helplessly, nearly fully succumbing into the ruthless thrust of her skilled fingers. âThen tell me, whatâs my name?âÂ
Finally, you decide to cave in.Â
âDaddy, pleaseââ With those words, Abby releases her fingers from your pussy, causing you to whimper in distress. âAbby! What the fuck!âÂ
âWhat? You think I would let you have it after youâve been a brat. I know youâre easily drunk on me, very easily, but Iâm not feeling so generous right now.â Abby slips off the bed once again, her boxers coming off her body, allowing you to see her fully as she slips off her socks. âTime to show you who is the boss, baby.âÂ
For the third time, you pull at the tie. Once again. youâre stuck.Â
âWhat are you talking about?â The confusion laced all over your face, watching as you climbed on the bed, finally naked and exposed, just the sight youâve been wishing to see all night.Â
âShow me why I let you fuck me and not Owen.â Abby perches her ass on your face, claiming the seat sheâs always owned since the moment the two of you met. Abby really doesnât give you much time to even take a moment to check out the ass you love so much before sheâs suffocating you with her pussy. Fuck her for bringing Owen, even if he ever wanted to eat her out, he didnât have the skill for it.Â
She knows that, you know it too, but it leaves you eager to prove just how much she likes it when sheâs riding your face. Not his, yours. Sheâs careful enough not to completely crush you, her hand smoothing over your stomach, blunt nails clawing at your skin as you act starved of her. You had been wanting her all night, but this would be enough, even if you remained untouched, knowing you made her cum would be enough until Abby wants to play nice.Â
The blonde stays quiet for a bit, even when sheâs enjoying it, your tongue rolling on her cunt, she begins to find a rhythm, moving her hips in a pace she likes, taking as she pleases. But you know just how to surprise, even if sheâs neutralized your hands, you know what your girl likes.Â
Tilting your head back just a little, giving you enough distance to spit on her cunt, her pink folds glistening more, her body shudders as a moan escapes. A curse of your name spoken before Abby can stop herself.Â
âShut upââ Abby starts to murmur off but you spit again, causing her entire body to shudder against your body, but you donât hold back. Being extra obnoxious for her as you make your ministrations loud, moaning into her soaked cunt, letting your tongue circle around her clit as you suck the bundle of nerves in your mouth.Â
âGod, feels sâgood, canât stop fucking your pretty face.â Abby almost fully seats herself, your attacks on her clit have her seeing stars. The soft build in her stomach is more than she can handle, sheâll cum soon if sheâs not careful.Â
So, she decides to level the playing field.Â
She bends over completely, burying her face in your soaking cunt. She decides to be torturous, blowing on your lower lips, enjoying the way you shudder. Hips continue to buck into her face immediately, desperate to be eaten. She giggles. Even if you are making her feel like she might explode at any given moment, Abby knows you are so much worse. She knows your swollen clit must be pulsating, aching for an ounce of attention, a swipe of her tongue, a light brush of her fingers â something.Â
âMhm, such a pretty pussy, baby.â Abby kissing your inner thighs, getting so close to where you need her to be, but not quite to where you want her. âHow bad do you want me to fuck your cunt?â She grins as you whimper, but you know better than to stop eating her out.Â
âGood girl.â Abby praises you as she runs a finger up your slit, feeling just how wet you are, thighs softly twitching as she sinks a finger into your hole, finding satisfaction in how tightly youâre clenching around her. Thumb swiping at your clit, âSee what happens when youâre good.âÂ
Abby wastes no time, not a single moment, her mouth pouncing on you with no further warning. A shriek rips out from the back of your throat, the vibration against her pussy sends a shiver down her spine. Sheâs slow with the movement of her tongue, sliding it between your folds, flicking it against your clit until sheâs wrapping her lips around the bud, and sucking hard.Â
The whines and whimpers sheâs always so greedy to hear tumbling from between your lips is muffled by her cunt, almost banished from making itâs way into the room as she curls her fingers just enough to have your lips sucking on Abbyâs clit harder. A certain kitten lick of your tongue on her clit has her head falling forward against the pillow with a guttural moan. The sound has you clenching tightly around the long thick fingers sheâs slowly working deeper in your pussy.
âKnew your mouth was fucking slutty,â Abby shivered, hips jerking up and trying to grind harder against your mouth. A mouth that she would die without. âSâgood, keep it up, you can do that, canât you?â She mocked, knowing you have no room to say anything. Not when you were eating her out like she would be your last meal.Â
âItâs a shame isnât it? That you canât even use your fingers this time. Know how much you like to make me cum on them, maybe next time, hm?â Abby taunted, using the tip of her tongue, sliding it up and down your inner thighs, collecting your slick in her wake. The taste of you on the muscle had her eyes rolling in the back of her head, pressing her thumb against your clit and rubbing the slowest yet dangerous circles. Enjoying the way you tremble above her. âAwh, so close already? Barely fucking touched you.âÂ
Her words have you whining into her cunt, humming around her clit and the blood rushes to her head at the obscene, loud sounds of you lapping at her pussy messily. Her slick runs down your chin, a sight sheâs seen hundreds of times before when youâre between her legs, and drops down onto her legs and bedsheet. âDonât have to see you to know youâre messyâ She growled from below you, curling her fingers against that spot deep inside you perfectly, grinning lazily when your legs clench around her head. âYeah, I know you love it, angel.â You can already picture her fucking smirk without having to look at her. Abby was cocky, and she sure as hell knew how to make you a trembling mess at all her touches. No matter if you were tied up or not.
Sucking softly at her clit, you hummed deliciously when her thighs twitched, hips still grinding up against your mouth, fucking herself shamelessly on your tongue. âThatâs a good girl, wanna make me cum so bad, donât you?â Another mock fell from between her lips. âI feel bad i tied you up, would love your fingers deep in my pussy right nowâ She sighed, fucking her fingers in and out of your pussy at a pace that isnât enough to make you cum, like you wanted, but enough to have you whining and on the edge of something she was willing to give you if you behaved.Â
Itâs when her fingers deliciously slide in your cunt, rubbing at the certain spot that has your body going limp within seconds, that sheâs spent hours brutally hitting with her cock, that youâre crying out around her clit, the sound still slightly muffled but you somewhat find movement and ground down against her fingers. âSo fucking needy.â The blonde murmured, wrapping one of her arms around your hips and keeping you still above her as the pace of her fingers picked up again. âYou want my fingers that bad? Fine, I'll give you them.â
You barely have time to understand what she means, because she crooks her fingers in a way that has you pulling away from her cunt, the growl she lets out makes your legs crush your head entirely, yours resting on her ass, unable to focus on anything but her fingers stuffing you full.Â
âDo you feel it, baby?â Abby doubles down on her efforts, thumb swiping at your clit, fingers so deep as she fucks against your grinding hips. âJust like that. Is my pretty girl close? Gonna show me what a good girl you are and cum for daddy?âÂ
âPlease, shit shit shit, Abbyââ The curses continue to tumble from your lips, one after the other they fall, a lovely melody falling on Abbyâs ear as it supplies her with the last effort she needs. The desperate cry from her loverâs mouth, the brat disappearing for the time being, all thatâs left is the woman she loves so intensely crying for relief. The only thing she wishes is to see you. Bright eyed, struggling to keep them open or your canines sinking into your lips so harshly you pull at your chapped lip, drawing blood as you attempt to hold yourself together. Most of all she wonders if she has you so close to the edge, so incredibly close the tears are beginning to well up in your eyes.Â
But she doesnât get to see any of it, so sheâll have to settle for the weeping sight of your cunt rather than your eyes. Abbyâs not sure which one she loves more at the moment.Â
âCâmon, want you to paint my face in your cum. Can you do that? I know you havenât wanted to obey tonight, but can you do this one thing for me?â You feel one of her fingers tease your puckered hole, using the slick coating her finger to tease the sensitive hole while she fucks the other. âBeen begging for it, yeah? So, give it to me.â You feel her fingers teasing your cervix as you finally give in.Â
Every bone in your body submits to her, as it always does, you become hers as she claims in a way anyone else fails to do. Itâs just the two of you, even if youâre unable to see her blissed out dilated blues, drunk on your cunt. The way she soothes you with her fingers, gently fucking you through your high, giving you just the right amount.Â
Then itâs there.Â
The slight gush squirting out of you and onto her face. Abby smiles wickedly and she immediately laps at your pussy. Obnoxiously and loudly, she makes a theatrical performance of it, making sure you can hear every suck she makes as she creates a makeshift funnel into her mouth, not being able to control herself. Sweetly, she doesnât allow a single drop go to waste.Â
âFeel sâgood Abby, I canâtââ Your body softens as you ride the end of your high. Abby can feel your breath on her cunt, sending a shiver up her spine.Â
âShh, I know, I got you.â Abby sweetly remarks, her tongue moving gently and sweetly as sheâs unable to stop herself from pushing you through, her fingers fucking you until youâre spent.
Slowly, yet tiredly, once Abbyâs had her fun, you press more of your weight on her, head resting comfortably on her toned thighs as you try to catch your breath. With the help of Abby rubbing your back slowly, you smiled into her skin and sighed.Â
Exhausted of not being able to touch her, you free yourself from the tie minutes later, ripping it into two, but she pins with the strength of her arms. Quick to hold you down, even when you want to move, Abby does it faster than you can comprehend. She licks the remainder of your cum with her tongue, savoring every last bit, enjoying the shake of your thighs. Abby slaps your cunt, you moan out her name, still sensitive from the earth-shattering orgasm youâd been given.Â
Abby is sporting a grin so sinister, you believe it nearly rivals a succubus closing in on itâs prey. Shifting her position, her pelvis against yours, her blond bush prickling your pussy, but sheâs too strong for you to move underneath her muscular frame â leaving no room for debate. Sparkling, golden waves falling over her shoulder, freckles littered across her body as if they were her own galaxy being created, a universe unique to her. Every inch of her is more exquisite than the next, you donât understand anyone who doesnât appreciate her as the beautiful, loving, angel she is. She should never be treated as anything but. You want to give her the world, everything good in the world she deserves, and you hope itâs not too late for her to see it just as you do.Â
Doesnât hurt she fucks like her life depends on it.Â
âYou gonna be good for me and fucking take it?â Abby shifts your legs so it lays over her shoulder, lazily spitting on your pussy, enjoying the soft sigh escaping your body. Itâs evil, maniacal even, torturing you like this but you canât help but buck your hips. Trying to chase the high, sheâd just given you.Â
âSo eager. Even after I made you come all over my face. Greedy baby.â Abby slaps your cunt once again, she takes pleasure in the way your body twitches, convulsing for more. The way youâre moving your hips, needing her to give you what she knows youâve needed. Too stubborn, too selfish, and too fucking horny to stay away from the chiseled greek goddess.Â
âDo you wanna feel my clit on yours baby? Is this what you want?â Abby moves her hips forward as she hikes your leg further on her toned shoulder. âYou wanna feel how wet I am for you? Mhm, sâwhat youâve been needing, just me and my cunt on yours. Itâs all a filthy whore needs. Isnât that right?âÂ
âAbby, baby, yes. That. Fuck, youâre so perfect.âÂ
âThatâs right, Iâm fucking perfect.â Abby gives you one thrust, enjoying the soft bounce of your tits, head half-craned and slumped against the headboard as youâre rendered helpless under her strong weight. The euphoric bliss youâre offered when she decides to be generous and over a steady pace.Â
Small, pierced nipples harden as she continues her ministrations, she feels every nerve ending of her body on fire. Even if she enjoys you teasing with her, acting like youâre in control, calling the shots, this is where you belong. A needy whore begging for more of her. This time itâs her cunt you need, her dripping and weeping pussy connecting with your own. You need to feel how wet she is, both of your clits rubbing against each other. The bundle of nerves colliding together over, and over, and over. Abbyâs slick mixed with your own, so much you can feel is dripping near your puckered hole, unexplored territory you know youâd let her explore.Â
Abby seeâs the red markings on your stomach, her being the maker of the scratches, too blissed out to control herself. She traces them with a delicate hand, a silent apology for being too rough with you. Something physical, tangent even, on how you make her feel. If sheâs being honest with herself, youâre the only one who makes her feel anything. Itâs why she comes back to you, even when the little angel on her shoulder tells her she shouldn't, that itâs wrong. When the guilt threatens to eat her alive, she sees your smile, hears your laugh that would put a symphony to shame. Better yet, she still has the privilege to make you feel good. To try and do everything in her power to make you feel as great as you make her feel.Â
But you donât know any of it.Â
This. You. Her. All of it may be fleeting. She might not choose you. This might be a short fling before she ties the knot with this stupid man she claims sheâll leave. You canât put your money on it, but youâll bet on her thinking about you for the rest of her life if she wishes to stay with a man. One that will never deserve her.Â
Owen will never know Abby the way you do and youâll do anything you can to make her see it.Â
âYou are. Everything about you is perfect. Those beautiful blues I wanna get lost in for hours. The lips I never want to leave me. The hands I want on me all the time, the ones I think about whenever Iâm alone and I donât have you there to fuck me.â You spill out, causing Abby to become over eager to please, her hips thrusting harder against yours, chasing the feeling she feels building within her.Â
She whimpers, again.Â
Youâve lost count on how many have left her tonight. Itâs the hope youâre clinging onto. The vulnerability she never lets leak but tonight she does. Never has she been so vocal about what she wants, but after tonightâs fight, the threat of you leaving, Abbyâs desperate to keep you. Even if wants to pretend like sheâs in control, the look on those worrisome pools of blue tells you something different.Â
âFeesl, sâgood, shit.â Abbyâs blissed out face, head thrown back as she sinks into the feeling. With a clenched jaw, she grinds down into your pussy, her swollen clit pulsating, feeling your cum gravitate towards her cunt. As if this is what it was meant for, you, her â destined to find another.Â
Again. Again. Again.Â
Her pale skin becomes flush, rises of pink and red expands on her toned chest, her abs clenching causing each ridged lined more defined as she fucks you into another dimension. She coaxes you into her warm, slippery pussy like itâs a lionâs den. The cage is meant to keep you in, designed to never be released from the sharp canines breaking into your skin, the claws sheâs managed to dig in, the strength she exhibits each time she stalks you like her prey.Â
The false pretenses, the way she fluffs you with small affections, begging to be petted and played with but then tears at the skin she helped heal. Even if it leaves you bloody, clenching your chest to find one final breath, the appetite for her never ceases to exist. When she draws the last drop of blood from your veins, youâll thank her with a gleeful smile.Â
Deeply, you want Abby to feel this lush high, this euphoric feeling rushing to her head, making her impossibly drunk on you as she cries out for more, you want her to feel every bit of it knowing heâll never give this to her. Heâs a fool in the eyes of goddesses alike, a simple servant to keep her in a mediocre rise of security. A placeholder, a pathetic one at that. Too incredibly vain to swallow a meaningless ego to offer what she really needs but youâll do it gleefully in a blink of an eye.Â
He could never give her what she deserves.Â
The divine feminine found between your thighs, the sweet nectar sheâs spent hours lapping at into all hours of the night, leaving before the sun rises. The walk of shame back to her apartment, glimpses of you never leaving her as she goes about her day.Â
This will be just another image burned in her brain, you underneath her body, taking everything sheâs giving but itâs so much more intimate than either of you even planned for. The altercation from earlier in the night fizzled out the moment her lips met yours.Â
Abbyâs palm grips onto the headboard, gaining leverage as she fucks you. âOpen your fucking mouth, such a big one, huh? Definitely showed me how much tonight, so, do it again.â Using her strong grip, she squeezes your chin, applying pressure as you obey her willfully. Your lips forming at her wish, she continues to get off, the euphoric sounds of your cunt echoing through the room as you give her everything she wants.Â
The her spit drips onto your mouth, pupils dilated as she watches you accept it with a sparkle gleaming in your eyes. Bright and beautiful as you thrust your hips against, enjoying yourself even more with her spit in your mouth. Obnoxiously, you swallow loudly, moaning as you do.Â
âCan you spit on my pussy? Please? I know mâalready soaked, but I need it.â You request sweetly, knowing sheâs less likely to reject you if youâre sweet about it. Instead, she places her hand on your throat, decorating it beautifully with her rough grip.Â
Just like that, the woman who loves you, attends to your every need, evaporates into thin air and the one who aims to take control over your very essence is back. The one who likes to push you over the edge until she feels like youâre satisfied enough is back.Â
Abby isnât going to stop until youâve soaked every inch of her mattress. The one she slept in last night, Owen by her side, but now she believes it needs a level of christening.Â
Extending her long fingers, she pulls at your bottom lip with her thumb applying more pressure at your neck. âDo you think youâre really in a position to ask for anything? Be grateful that you even get to feel my pretty pussy, yeah? Shouldnât even be fucking my pretty girl after the shit you pulled today.âÂ
âMâsorry, okay? Fuck, please, pleaseâ can you forgive me? I just wanted toâŚâ Then before you can even take a moment to breathe, sheâs giving you something to choke on. Long, thick, fingers crawling their way down your throat, tickling the back of it, you feel the coolness of her rings lay left on your lips.Â
âThere.��� Abby sighs in content while she grins with greed. âNeeded something to shut you up, angel. Donât cry though, itâll be my cock next time for your second punishment.â You try to speak but it just comes out as murmurs, incoherent mumbles as Abby fucks your harder than she has all night. She continues to grip the headboard, each thrust more powerful than the last.Â
âThis what you fucking need. Someone to fuck the brat out of you, so, shut the fuck up and take it.â Abby commands as she moans when she sees your eyes roll back in heightened bliss, âForgetting how I just made you feel already? I know, brats have a hard time remembering. Daddy needs to make you cum again, huh?âÂ
âAbs, mâso sensitive. I donât think I can.â You confess, but Abby continued to fuck you harder, the power of her thrusts unrelenting. With each thrust, her folds sliding against your own as you take what she gives. âNo? Should have thought about that before you decided to mouth off to me, again.âÂ
She shifts your leg over to her other hip, bending you like her own makeshift pretzel, maneuvering you to her will as she fucks you from a better angle. Abby cockily grins as your mouth forms a soft o shape, your breath hiccups as you moan even louder. Your hands grip on her waist as she rides you. All you can do is look upon her in awe, sheâs a goddess like this. She always is but not even Owen could see her like you do. He would never be capable of appreciating her just the way she comes.Â
Muscles like an adonis, perfectly carved, the veins in her arms protrude as she grabs the headboard. Everything about her seems hard, rough, defined but has the sensual hips of the most entrancing woman alive. The way she rolls them with purpose, a dance sheâs choosing to partake in, one that she loves very much. Unable to stop even if she tried.Â
Yet itâs her big and bright blues which give her away. For the first time, you see her clearly. Beautiful, bright, and in love. Sheâs never looked at you the way she is now. Maybe she always did but this time sheâs letting you see the love laced underneath. Not ashamed of the softness of her emotions, the one sheâs always held like a burden, she carries it strongly.Â
You want to let her pull the words from your mouth, but she pulls at the bud between your thighs, claiming it as hers, waiting for you to give in to her. Abbyâs just as strong as she is stubborn. Even if sheâs already made you cum, she wonât let herself go until she gets it from you one more time.Â
âPretty, pretty, girl. Just one more time, mâkay? Need to see those gorgeous eyes roll back,â Freeing one of her hands, she picks up the ripped tie as she trickles the soft material down your abdomen, âGod, i need to see it. My beautiful angel, always so gorgeous and mine.âÂ
The silk feels good against your skin but you need her. You pull on her hair, bringing her close to you as Abby buries her head in the crook of your neck. For the first time tonight, she allows herself to whimper in your ear. Submitting herself to you in a way sheâs never done with anyone. Abby loses it when you stroke her hair gently.Â
As much as sheâs hellbent on making you come first, you have another objective on your mind.Â
âAnd youâre mine. Only mine.â Abby whimpers, her hips slowing down as you buck up into hers, leading the pace as she gives into you. âCâmon, my sweet girl, let it all go. I have you, mânever letting go, promise.âÂ
With a notion of protection and sealed love, Abby lets go. Every bit of her slumps against you as she finds her release, you follow after her as you slowly grind into her, letting her coast through the high as she nearly growls in your ear, chants of your name leaving like a prayer. A sworn faithfulness to the only person sheâs truly loved, cradling her as if sheâs done no harm. As if sheâs just as good and pure as you believe she is.Â
With her forehead pressed against yours, her blue eyes void of any cockiness, she squeezes them shut as she regains to catch her breath. Lazily, pulling a sheet over you both as it rests on her waist, protecting you with her warmth. Abby wonders if your heart beats as rapidly as hers, fingers tangled in her golden waves as you gently bring swollen pink lips to you. Basking in the way she molds perfectly to you as if this moment, you and her, meant to be fated.Â
One of her rough hands runs up and down your back, as the other grips your chin between her fingers, pulling you more into her as you share yet another soft and slow kiss. A kiss that has you smiling into her mouth as her tongue swipes across your bottom lip, teeth nipping at skin. âNeedy,â You canât help but giggle, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as Abby simply just shrugged and grinned up at you.Â
âCan you blame me? Youâre addicting.â She stated like it was the most obvious thing youâve ever heard. âYour lips are so soft, so thatâs another reason why i like kissing youâ
âThat's the only reason? My lips are soft?â You cocked your head to the side, fingers tracing the slope of her nose slowly, amused at the way she crunches it up cutely when you cup her face. âYou have pretty lips, a pretty nose, a pretty everythingâ You listed, leaning down to place a kiss between her furrowed eyebrows. âYou have a pretty heart that is made of goldâ
âI wouldnât say that much about my heart. Itâs caused a lot of pain lately.â Abby mutters sadly, fingers wrapping around your wrist and placing your hand on her cheek. âMâsorry for how I've treated you. Especially during this trip, a trip that was supposed to be so special and i kept fucking it up.â
âYouâre here with me now, thatâs all that matters, Abs. We matter, you matter.â Your voice was quiet, but with the close distance you shared with her, she heard it loud and clear. Your heart thumping loudly in your chest when she leans more into the palm of your hand, closes her and hums gently. âYou are so beautiful, I didn't think I could be this in love with someone, not like I am with you. You mean everything to me, and I want to show you just how much.âÂ
Your confession has her eyes snapping open again, baby blues peering into yours so vulnerable, that you were worried she was about to get up and flee again. It always happened when you got too much into your feelings and feelings towards Abby. But she didnât, instead, a shy smile appeared on her lips and a crimson blush coated the apples of her cheeks, her skin hot under your touch. âYou donât have to say anythingââ
âI love you with all my heart.âÂ
The confession is ruined by the sound of the door slamming against the wall, and it startles you both. Abbyâs moving to cover your body, protecting your vulnerability and being so exposed before her own. Her eyes quickly widen at the sight of Owen standing there. His chest is rising up and down, panting like heâs just ran a marathon. Heâs looking between you both, at you longer than he is at Abby, but heâs looking.Â
For a few seconds he doesnât do anything, he just stands there with no idea what to do or say. Luckily Abby feels the same, and she just glares at him down with a subtle growl that has you biting down on your lip. Your eyes quickly look back over at Owen with a grin. âCan you shut the door on the way out? Youâre ruining everything right now, i would like to fuck the woman of my dreams, again, and you are stopping me from doing thatâ You canât help but huff. âYou didnât treat her like the Queen she is, but donât worry, i will.â
Abby doesnât know whether to laugh or choke on the spit forming in her mouth the second the words fly out of yours.Â
Any other time, Owen would have caused a scene, woke everyone up with how loud he shouts, but this time he doesnât. He knows itâs his fault, him to be blamed for Abby needing someone else. He barely gave her the time of day, and pushed her away for someone who wasnât his girlfriend. Apart of him knew this day would come, she would leave him for you, he just didnât think it would happen like this. So with one final look, heâs turning on his heels, bolting out of the room and slamming the door behind him. Not wasting a single second to get out of there.Â
Leaving you both there, giggling.
Shaking her head at you, Abby cups her face between your hands not even seconds later, repeatedly placing kisses on your lips and melts at the sound as you both fall back onto the bed, in each others space, like youâve always meant to be with hushed whispers, and promises into each others mouth.Â
âItâs always been you. I love you, always and forever.â
Itâs safe to say, Owen wonât ever be tasting you again.

AND NOWâŚ.WHAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FORâŚ. PENGUIN! READER IN COURT.
HAZBIN HOTEL X PENGUIN! READER pt.4
Prompt: after luteâs acting out and hellâs celebration. A court was ordered for the custody for you.
âWe are here in court today to discuss the home and place that reader should be inâ says sera as she eyes Lucifer and his daughter thatâs beside him.
Charlie smiles at the thought of winning this time as she smiles at her father who seemed to be a nervous wreck. He is hair was messy but almost kept as he kept fidgeting with his hands.
âOkay letâs start,â she says as she pulls up some cards. âPlease no definitions this time.â Sera says strictly. Charlie gulps as she pulls out another bunch of cards. âOkayyy..no defining..but I have kept record on how comfortable they are with the hotel and the residentsâ she says with a small smile as Lucifer glances at his daughter hoping she could change the seraphimâs mind.
âDo you have any proof of this suppose claim?â Sera says with a raised brow. âWhy yes! I do and my dad also has some. Right dad?â Charlie says looking at Lucifer who jumped at the sudden spot light. âUh- yeah, yeah. I have some proof and rebuttals.â Lucifer says sitting up correctly.
Sera and Emily look at each other as a ball rises into the room. The angels seem to look each other and watch the ball carefully. Charlie smiles ready to show them how you belong in hell with them, for family of course.
âOh oh oh, I would love to watch this shit show.â Adam says pulling up popcorn out of nowhere as the ball in the court starts to play. Lute grabs two movie glasses to wear with him and herself.
*flashback*
You were sleeping peacefully in Luciferâs bed as he made you another duck toy as you woke up to smell pancakes beside you. You grabbed the pancake and ate them with a cute smile and squeak/quack. Angel busted in the ring leaderâs door to grab you up and take you shopping as you got dressed.
Charlie and vaggie were talking downstairs as Lucifer was after Angel trying to pack up readerâs small little bag just incase there is trouble, like a small phone, small juice box, a rubber duck that turns into a monster to protect the penguin. And while type of stuff. Of course Angel rolled his eyes and took it for you as you two exit the hotel with vaggie and Charlie saying bad. You looked visibly happy as Lucifer gave one more goodbye kiss to your forehead.
*end of flashback*
The court chatters seeing such wholesome moments like that in hell. Adam rolls his eyes as lute basically breaks a mug beside her in anger seeing the angels nod and smile.
âHow do we not know that you forced them to basically like that shit show of your hotel? You bride them with something?â Adam says rolling his eyes âProbably threaten them like the bastards you are.â Lute says as she glares longer at the two Morningstars.
The angels whisper gossiping about this. Charlie looks nervous as Lucifer looked as if he got sent to a death sentence. But Charlie then stood up with a nice compute looking around. âDonât you ever think about what they want?! Theyâre our friend, heck even our family at most. PLEASEEâŚwe just want them to be here with people they feel comfortable and loved around.â
âBLAH BLAH BLAH!â Someone says, ruining the soft moment as the court looks at Adam and lute who are scowling at the demon princess. âWhy keep spitting these bullshit out your mouth and just admit that heaven is their rightful place? I mean, HAHA- they love me and plus they love the food here even better.â Adam says with a snarky smirk and lute smiling evilly.
Charlieâs demon form was slightly slipping from anger at adamâs words before lucifer had put a hand on his daughterâs shoulder. âAdam, that is no way to talk to my daughterâ Lucifer says with a scowl at Adam. Adam just smirks as lute was beside the first man throwing her middle up at him. âAh please, youâre gods most hated thing to ever exist. Why let an ANGEL, who is supposed to be here, go live with you?â
Charlie opened her mouth to speak, âit was a rhetorical question.â Lute says with blunt venom. Charlie closed her mouth embarrassed. The court whispered and gossiped with a few nods as they did agree you were one of them that accidentally got sent to hell instead of heaven itself. ďżź
Sera felt a heated stare from the devil himself, he kept his deranged look from the stress of this. The last time he had to be in court was when he got sent to his own kingdom.
âDONT you care Sera! They are just a person who canât control who loves them! They love usâŚand maybe..you guys as well.â Charlie says as she hesitated on saying how you loved heaven as well. She stared around sera as well as sera closed her eyes not wanting to hear it. Emily glanced at the older seraphim uncomfortably.
Her first sentence made it feel like Deja vu in front of the whole court as Adam exclaimed, âHOLD ON HOW BITCH! You donât get to sing in court ever! Plus.â He says smirking. âOf course they love us, weâre fucking heaven for crying out loud.â Sera sighs, âAdam, please no interrupting in court.â Adam scoffs sitting back down with lute who glares at Lucifer with full of hate. âFuckin' bitch.â Adam grumbles under his breath.
Charlie growls under her breath to Adam as she pointed to Adam, âwell, what do you have for claiming they even love heaven at all! What and where is your proof.â Adam smirks as lute flies, getting a presentation. âIâm glad you asked bitch, LUTE HIT IT!â âGREAT PLEASURE SIR!â Lute yells back smiling as she starts up the slideshow.
*flashback*
You were cuddled by Adam as he was hand feeding you some of your favorite chips flavor. You made a nice purr sound as you snuggled against Adam, adamâs tough facade faded as his eyes soften. âYou like me right? You wonât leave me?â You nodded to Adam as you nuzzled your face in his pudgy body. Adam smiled and looked forward at the tv.
The next day was you and lute having a flying race. With your cute chubby penguin body, you couldnât fly well. But lute just smiled and picked you up to her chest and starts to fly around heaven. You smiled as you quacked out how beautiful and exciting this felt to fly with someone you deem who you liked. You clearly liked the fresh and heaven air as lute put you to the ground to go get ice cream with you.
*end of flashback*
Adam smiles with a laugh as lute and fist bump at the presentation they made of you basically feeling cozy as heaven here. The angels awe and coo at adamâs part of the flashback as some clapped at the nice friendly encounter you had with lute in the second part.
The court whispers again as Emily and sera look at each other. Emily grabs onto seraâs hand as sera glances at Emily and her hand. And finally at the Morningstars who have a pleading smile as you are beside them playing with a train you. Sera lets out a deep breath and opened her mouth for the whole court to hear.
âThe court has spoken. The rightful place the reader belongs in, isâŚâŚâ
CLIFF HANGERRRRđ

Hello lovely,
I saw your post that your requests are open, so I will give it a try =)
Imagine Bucky and reader are best friends but they have a huge argument and now they don't talk to each other for days. She's feeling really bad, missing him. He is her most important person and now without interacting with him for days, she's feeling lost and lonely and heartbroken. Maybe she has not a super power and is only a normal human, helping the Avengers with IT or something. Due to the argument with her best friend and not talking to Bucky (Bucky ignores her completely) she begins to feel it not only mental but also physically. She can't eat probably and at the end falls deathly sick.... With a fluffy happy ending and a worried and protective Bucky
Please. That would be nice.
Take care honey
oh my goodnessâ my heart đâ¤ď¸ the angst is gonna hurt, but iâm such a sucker for it. i had so much fun writing this one, thank you for requesting and i hope you like itđĽ°
Love Hurts
⥠Pairing: Beefy!Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader
⥠Summary: You and Bucky get into a heated argument, things are said and done and now he wonât speak to you. You donât think you can handle him ignoring your existence.
⥠Warnings: language, mentions of buckyâs trauma, heavy angst, malnourishment, depression, anxiety/panic attacks, minor injuries, hospitalization, suicidal ideation, self hate, literally hurt just writing this
main masterlist
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT | MATURE CONTENT 18+
Your nails bit into your palm, denting the fleshâ threatening to pierce the delicate skin. It was all to hold yourself back, distract you from the words that wanted to burst out.
It was becoming a sickening routine, Bucky was reckless and had yet another near death experience on his recent mission. The anxiety and the nerves stopping your body from functioningâ the dreaded wait for his jet to arrive back at the compound. You shouldnât have to be used of receiving the call that he had yet again made a reckless moveâ but you were starting to discover a pattern.
It did nothing to ease the panic that swirled in your chest every time he left for missions. Youâd sob, throwing up everything you had eaten that dayâ unable to stomach anything with the idea that Bucky was on a mission. You never found your anxiety to be so severeâ but when Bucky was even mentioned about going on a mission⌠it spiked.
Thatâs where you found yourself in his room, watching him pace the spaceâ avoiding your frustrated stare. You werenât angry at him per sayâ you were angry that he didnât value his life.
âSeriously (Y/n)â you get so worked up over nothing. Iâm here and aliveâ isnât that enough?â He exclaimed, throwing his hands up in frustration.
You pressed your nails tighter to your palm, yet the pain couldnât stop your thundering thoughts.
âYouâre here and alive now, until you do some stupid shit like this again and are dead!â You hissed, trying to keep your voice low but you didnât know how much longer you could control yourself.
He glared at you, squinting his eyes in anger and then rolling his eyes.
âOh for fucks sakeâ can you stop fucking babying me? I can handle myself!â He raised his voice, his metal arm whirring.
âIâm not babying youâ Iâm just scared youâre gonna get yourself killed. Do you care about your life at all?â You asked him aggressively, your voice raising just a tad.
He took a long pause, staring at you with his face void of emotionâ only annoyance.
âNot really.â He admitted.
You were taken back, although you had these conversations with him a time or twenty. It was an ongoing process to get him to slowly love himselfâ his past as The Winter Soldier torturing his soul. He was so convinced he wasnât deserving of anything, not even a roof over his head. It was a struggle to help him, but you werenât going to give up on him.
âYou realize if anything ever happened to you Iââ Your voice broke, needing a breath, âBuck I wouldnât know what to do with myself.â
You thought you saw his eyes flash with guilt, but before you could linger on the look for too longâ his face was hardening again.
âThat doesnât sound like my problem.â He mumbled out, making your eyes widen.
You were extremely taken back from those words, your chest aching painfullyâ him not knowing what effect those words had on you.
âAre you fucking serious?â You asked him, your face morphing into a hurt expression, mixed with anger. âCan you just do your job without trying to kill yourself?â
His face grew red with rage and he was stomping up towards youâ his face inches from yours.
âI am doing my jobâ very well in fact. Unlike you who just fucking sits here doing nothing!â He defended himself, his breath hitting your face in warm pants.
âDoing nothing? Buckâ why are you like this?â You puffed your chest, not backing down from his towering form.
But your words seemed to have hit a nerve, as he shrunk back slightly, narrowing his gaze at you.
âLike what?â
You furrowed your brows, slowing your racing heart from the shoutingâ you werenât sure you had said anything bad. Did you?
âWhat?â You squeaked out, nervous now.
âYou said, why am I like this⌠like what?â He pushed, stepping closer to you now, his face still red with anger but you could see the hurt in his eyes.
You swallowed and wondered how to convince him you didnât mean anything bad by what you said. But you were almost positive it would be an impossible task to get Bucky to listen.
âBuck, I didnât mean anythinââ
âWhatâ you think Iâm not capable of doing my job? You think Iâm still the monster hydra made me?â He spat, his chest rising and falling quicker.
âNo, no Buck listenââ
That was definitely not what you meant, you could tell he was spiraling and you were still confused as to why. You would never make him think that.
âAfter 70 fucking years I finally have a job that I likeâ that I enjoy doingâ I fucking help people! Iâm finally doing some good and now youâre telling me Iâm not capable of doing it?â He boomed, his chest puffing into yours and your stumbled back slightly. âYou think Iâm only capable of being a monster? Huh? Is that what you fucking think?â
You were growing scared now, the look in his eyes wild with something and you didnât like how close he was to youâ you knew heâd never hurt you but your fear overwhelmed your senses.
âFridayâ call Steve and Sam in here now!â You shouted into the room, and Buckyâs eyes squinted painfullyâ his metal arm whirring again.
Bucky only saw one thingâ you didnât reassure him that he was thinking irrationally. You didnât correct him that he wasnât the monster. Instead you called for help, that you were clearly scaredâ because you thought he was a monster.
He was at a loss for words and just stared at you, almost through youâ as his breathing was only getting heavier at the sight of your fearful eyes.
Not even minutes later, Steve and Sam were busting through the door, taking in the scene and separated you and Bucky.
âHeyâ whatâs going on?â Steve asked in between the two of you. âBuck, whatâs wrong man?â
You couldnât seem to find the words and just stood speechless as wellâ the fight startling you. This was one of the worst ones, and it was also one that still left you confused. You cursed yourself for not being careful enough with your wordsâ but it was almost impossible to get through to him when he was on the brink of having an episode.
Sam walked closer to you, his facing morphing into concern as he took in your shocked expression.
â(Y/n)? You okay? Did he hurt you?â Sam whispered, keeping his words only between you two.
You slowly shook your head but still didnât respond verbally.
âOkay, okay thatâs good. You wanna go get a drink from downstairs? Why donât we take a breather okay?â Sam suggested softly, big brother mode kicking in at the sight of your frazzled state.
Without another word, you left the room with Samâ missing the devastated look from Bucky.
Steve waited until the door shut, then his attention was back on Bucky.
âBuck, you gotta talk to me manâ what happened?â He asked softly, watching his friend slowly relax, but it wasnât from being in a relaxing moodâ his body and mind were just exhausted from the argument.
âI fucked everything up. Thatâs what happened.â He mumbled, turning away from Steve to sit on the edge of his bed.
Steve followed behind but stood in front of him, shaking his headâ ready to argue.
âYou didnât mess anything up, arguments happen. You guys will work it out. I know how much you mean to each other.â Steve pointed out, watching Buckyâs face unchanging.
âYou didnât see the way she looked at meâ sheâs scared of me Iââ He shuttered, his breath shaky as he remembered your look, âI fucking scared her.â
Steveâs chest ached, the state of his friend breaking his heart. He knew Bucky meant no harm, and he almost for a fact knew that you knew that too. But Bucky for sure didnât believe that himself.
âI didnât see what you saw, but I can guarantee you that sheâs not afraid of you. This is (Y/n) we are talking about. You are her world Buck.â Steve tried to convince him.
Bucky shook his head, running his flesh hand through his hair.
âI think I just need to stay away from her for awhile.â Bucky came up with instead.
Steve immediately started shaking his head, knowing that was the last thing he needed.
âBucky Iââ
âPlease Steve⌠I just need some space.â Bucky pleaded, his body sagging in exhaustion.
Steve couldnât find it in himself to argue with him anymore about this. Maybe he did need some time to himself, to cool down and gather his thoughts. Also Steve wasnât going to force him to anything ever. After the years his pal went throughâ he would never make him do anything. He had enough things decided for him, and Steve wasnât about to stoop to hydraâs level.
Meanwhile down in the kitchen, Sam was getting you a glass of waterâ standing across from your seated form at the island. He slid the cup across, sending a worried glance at you.
â(Y/n)?â Sam snapped his fingers getting your attention.
You were shaken from your state of staring, but even snapped out of the tranceâ the anxieties still swirled within you.
âYeah sorry⌠Iâm here.â You whispered, grabbing the glass and taking a tiny sip.
Sam gave you a quizzical expression, watching you start to slip back into a mindless stareâ so he spoke up.
âYou wanna tell me what happened?â He asked, genuinely curious what had went down.
He knewâ hell everyone knew you and Bucky were extremely close. Best of friends, always there for one anotherâ dancing on the line of strictly friends to lovers. Truthfully, Sam found it completely obnoxious and just wanted you two together already.
âI donât really know⌠I think I said the wrong thingâ I didnât mean to make him upset.â You confessed, keeping your eyes on the countertop, not risking a glance to Sam.
âHey, donât beat yourself upâ mistakes happen. Iâm sure heâll forgive you.â Sam told you.
You shook your head, gripping the cup tighter.
âGod I hope so⌠I donât know what Iâd do without him.â You whispered pathetically, tears welling in your eyes.
Sam reached out to rub your arm comfortingly, trying to relax you so you didnât start crying. He hated to see you cryâ made his heart hurt.
âItâs been a long day for everyone, why donât you go head upstairs and get some sleep. Iâm sure things will have blown over by tomorrow.â He suggested and you finally met his gaze, smiling weakly and nodding.
Without saying goodbye, you stood up and headed to your room. Taking Samâs words and playing them on repeat in your head.
Tomorrow is another day, tomorrow would be better.
God had you hoped that was the caseâ it only was the beginning on the torment.
You had slept in longer than usual, but overall felt refreshed. The first thing that came to mind when fully waking up was Bucky. Immediately you headed downstairs to find himâ needing to talk with himâ apologize.
Making it down to the kitchen, you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in at the sight of him sitting at the islandâ sipping at his coffee. You furrowed your brows, thinking he'd be done with his coffee by now, since you had slept in. Your chest ached with guilt with the possibility that he didn't sleep well.
You took a deep breath before making yourself known, although you were sure be could sense you in the roomâ considering he was a super soldier.
"Morning Buck." You announced, walking around the island so you could face him.
He kept his gaze down at his coffee, finding the cup more interesting than you.
Okay, thatâs fair. You thought, you most probably deserved that reaction.
âYou sleep okay?â You asked again, picking at the skin on your nails nervously.
Againâ he didnât even lift his head. In fact, he wasnât even acknowledging you. You waited several minutes for a response, the silence becoming thick with tension and you couldnât stand it.
âBucky?â You tried, and this time he lifted his head.
Your heart twinged in your chest at his bloodshot eyes, clear evidence that he hadnât gotten good sleep. You hated yourself for causing him the stress, especially knowing he was just starting to actually get hours of sleep. It was huge progress compared to his nights either screaming awake or just staring at the walls. But now you had to go and ruin all that progress. You felt sick to your stomachâ disgusted with yourself.
âIâm really sorry about last night⌠I didnât like how ugly it got and Iâm sorry if I said something to upset youâ you know Iâd never intentionally hurt you.â You told him, picking more aggressively at your nails, causing to nail beds to bleed.
You swallowed nervously when he didnât answer right away, instead staring at you with⌠what was that? Disgust? You didnât know, but you hated the look altogether.
âBucky, please say something.â You pleaded.
Bucky lowered his gaze to his coffee again, taking a minute before he stood up and looked your way.
âI just need some space.â He told you quietly.
You were relived to have him finally talk to you, but to hear him suggest space between you twoâ you could almost feel the knife digging into your chest. You tried to keep a neutral expression but otherwise felt your bottom lip quiver.
Without giving you time to respond, Bucky was walking out of the roomâ leaving you standing there speechless, lungs begging for air. You didnât want your mind to go immediately to that thought, but you couldnât ignore it eitherâ he hated you.
âHey babe, I need you to help me out in the lab todââ Tony came busting into the room, but immediately shut up once he saw your broken expression. âHoney, whatâs wrong? You alright?â
You nodded your head, lying to him and yourself and started waving him off with the fakest smile.
âYeahâ yeah Iâm good. Just need to uhâ need to get some things done.â You told him, your eyes darting all around the room, the familiar feeling of panic seeping into your being.
Tony gave you a âreally?â look and stepped closer to you.
â(Y/n) Iâm not blindâ I can see youâre upset. Talk to mââ
âSeriously Tonyâ Iâm fine! Just leave it alone!â You told him a little too aggressively.
His face was taken back and you felt guilty immediately, cursing yourself for hurting everyone.
Why are you such a fucking issue? Your mind screamed at you.
You didnât waste another second and sped walked out of the room, needing to calm yourself down before you ran into any one else. You were spiraling and you needed to just relaxâ take a deep breath. Maybe you just needed one more day and things would be back to normal.
Yeah⌠just one more day.
You had hoped that was the case as well⌠but as alwaysâ things only got worse.
Bucky refused to talk to you or even look at you. Heâd given you the cold shoulder for almost two weeks now. He would get up and leave the second you entered the room. He couldnât stand you it seemed.
You couldnât keep hiding your hurt. At first, you had done a good job at hiding how you were really feeling. Saving the sobbing and attacks for when you were alone in your room. As the days lingered on, you found yourself weak and drainedâ you didnât have enough energy to put up a charade anymore.
The whole team were sending you worried looks, and attempted to talk with you. But the second theyâd tryâ youâd bolt. The subject was too sensitive, too raw. You didnât want to talk to anyone but Buckyâ and he hated you.
You had missed so many meals, forgetting to eat with your mental struggles throughout the days. You had been getting no more than two hours of sleep. You were so stressed, so stuck in your own mind that you couldnât function. Even when you had managed to remember to eat, your stomach would knot up to the point that you were throwing everything up. You were gaunt, basically a real life zombie. You needed helpâ but you needed Bucky more.
You were laying in bed staring unknowingly into space, it had been hard to focus with no food or sleep in your systemâ so you had only managed to lay here. Even that was exhausting, no matter how much you laid aroundâ your mind wouldnât stop the assault. Your anxiety had never been this bad, you were a prisoner to it.
Knocking at your door had you jumping, your heart racingâ and for a moment you forgot where you were.
Youâre in the compound⌠yeah thatâs right.
You slowed your breathing and swung your legs sluggishly over the edge of the bed to answer it. You werenât prepared for the sudden dizzy spell, your vision spotting with black and white specks. You tried to blink it off, but suddenly you were toppling to the ground.
You fell to the floor with a loud thump, luckily landing on your front, your hands somehow catching most of your fallâ you could already feel the throbbing in your palms.
You didnât hear the persistent knocking, or the door open. You didnât even hear the voice speaking from the doorway. It was when a hand landed on your shoulder that you were gasping, forgetting your surroundings once again.
Your eyes met Steveâs and you swore your heart was about to beat out of your chest.
â(Y/n) are you alright?â He asked you, hovering his hands over youâ not sure what you had hurt.
You furrowed your brows, looking him over.
âSteve what are⌠what are you doing here?â You asked genuinely confused.
You watched Steveâs eyes widen and he swallowed nervouslyâ his expression growing more concerned.
â(Y/n) itâs okay⌠Iâve got you.â Steve hushed, and he was pulling you into his chest, hugging you protectively.
You were still confused but then you tasted one of your stray tears, and you immediately came to your senses. You were crying in Steveâs arms⌠but why? You were having gaps of time missing from you, this wasnât the first time this had happenedâ you just didnât seem to care.
âSteve⌠my head hurts.â You slurred into his chest, sagging against him.
You were grateful that he was here, you desperately needed someone around. You were just hoping that someone wouldâve been Bucky.
âOkay, letâs get you to Helen. Sheâs gonna take care of you, okay?â Steve asked you, and you could only give a weak nod.
He knew there was no way you were walking there, so he hoisted you up into his arms, and cradled your head as he started to the med bay.
You just stared blankly at his chest, not really caring if Steve were to throw you off the roof of the building. You just didnât care.
Steve had gotten you down to her, and she checked you out. Alerting Steve that you were extremely malnourished, dehydratedâ an insomniac. She kept listing off all the things Steve was afraid to hear. The whole time he was sure you didnât hear a thing, although you were in the roomâ you were just checked out.
Helen eventually left, and Steve took his opportunity to speak with you. He pulled up a chair next to the hospital bed and grabbed your hand.
â(Y/n), whatâs going on? You can talk to meâ you canât keep doing this to yourself. Please⌠just talk to me.â Steve whispered, pleading with you that you would stop torturing yourself.
âHe hates me.â You mumbled.
Steveâs eyes widened and he frowned, knowing what you meant. He knew he let this go on for too long.
â(Y/n) he doesnât hate you. He just needed time to himself, so he coââ
âI didnât mean to hurt his feelings, I donât even know what I said to hurt him but Iââ You rushed out, the heart monitor beeping frantically, âIâm a horrible person, I didnât mean toâ I didnât mean to!â
You wheezed out, clutching your chest as you couldnât catch your breath. Your cheeks glistened with a steady stream of tears, your wheezing only growing by the second.
âOkay, okay (Y/n)â I need you to slow your breathing. Youâre okay, he doesnât hate you. Just take deep breaths okayâ even if you canât just try. Iâm here.â He tried to coach you, but this wasnât his thing.
Now he was starting to get mad at his friend, Bucky shouldnât of let this go on for this long.
You followed his chest rising and falling, staring at him as he tried to calm you down. Your breaths were heavy and painful sounding. Steve was about to say something but stopped himself when he saw your eyes look behind him.
He turned and saw Bucky standing in the doorwayâ his face paled. Truthfully, he looked like he was going to be sick.
â(Y/n)?â He whispered, his heart breaking at your state.
He had ran into Helen in the kitchen and was informed of your conditionâ he didnât believe it and had to see for himself. He was shocked to find you like this.
Your tears only edged on from his appearance and you shook your head in shame.
âIâm sorry Bucky! Whatever I did, Iâm sorry!â You sobbed and Bucky ran to the bed, kneeling down and taking your hands into his.
âDoll itâs okay, youâre okay. Iâm hereâ Iâm here. Iâm not gonna leave you⌠Iâm sorry.â He rushed out, shushing your cries, watching you slow your breathing at his words. âThere we go, just keep breathing with me. Iâm here, youâre okay.â
He kept repeating himself, making sure you knew he wasnât going anywhere.
Steve knew you were in good hands and slowly snuck out of the roomâ knowing you two needed to talk.
Bucky tucked a stray piece of hair behind your ear, letting his fingers trail down your cheek to your jaw. You couldnât help the way your face leaned into his touch, it felt like it had been forever since the last one.
Your breathing had slowed down, and now you just stared up at himâ eyes glossy with more tears. You felt so many emotions. You felt relived, but also angry and hurt. Above allâ you needed to know what you did to upset him. The guilt still ate away at your heart, and even just the memory of the argument had your chest aching.
âWhat did I do?â You whispered, making his eyes shoot up to yours, concern painting his face.
âYou didnât do anything.â He told you, and you furrowed your brows.
You were still anxiousâ he hadnât answered your question. Even more soâ if you didnât do anything then why did he ignore you?
âThen why?â
âWhy what (Y/n)?â He dared to ask, and you scoffedâ ripping your hands out of his.
The anger was approaching.
âWhy did you shut me out?â You wondered, and he only let his eyes cast down to the bedâ making you angrier. âYou ignored me for two weeks! Two fucking weeks you just acted as if I didnât exist! Do you know how much that fucking hurts?â
You were breathing heavy again, but this time it wasnât from panicâ it was the full force of all your anger bursting out.
He lifted his eyes to you, and you saw how broken he looked. How your state had affected him.
âI could never do that to you Buckâ I would never do that to you! Youâre my everything! I donât trust anyone as much as I trust you!â You raised your voice, while he stayed silent. âIf I didnât do anything then why would youâ whyââ
You broke out into a sob, covering your face with your hands. You felt good getting all the built up anger outâ but now you felt extremely guilty. The pitiful face of Bucky staring at you, causing your heart to hurt all over again. It didnât matter what happened, you always ended up hurting others.
â(Y/n) Iâm so sorry Iâ god I fucked up. I didnât ever mean to hurt you, please know that. Youâre my other half, and no one has ever been there for me like you have.â He spoke through a tight throat, swelling with emotion.
You uncovered your face and just stared at him a little longer, still incredibly hurt from his actionsâ but you knew you couldnât stay mad at him. You so badly wanted to forgive and forgetâ and just wrap him in your arms like you both needed.
âItâs hard to explain whatâs wrong with me to someone when I donât even understand whatâs wrong with meâ I just know Iâm fucked up. Iâm broken beyond repair.â His voice broke, his own eyes welling with tears.
You didnât have it in you to keep up an angry facade, and so you reached out and took his hand in yours. His face almost immediately lit up, his breathing slowing at your touch.
âTry me.â You whispered, watching Bucky take a deep breath before he spoke again.
âThe night of our fightâŚâ He started, and you swallowed in having to remember that night. âI had never seen you look at me like that.â
You stayed silent, afraid to open your mouth and have a sob escape. You could feel it bubbling upâ the memory playing back through your mind.
âYou looked at me like you were scared. You looked at me like I was a monster.â He confessed and it all made sense to you now.
It wasnât about what you said, it was your reaction that disturbed him to no ends. Even if you couldnât control your reaction in the momentâ you still felt guilty for causing him pain of remembering the hydra days.
âOh BuckâŚâ You whimpered, trying to pull him closeâ but he pulled away before he could reach your embrace.
âNoâ you donât get to be nice to me after what I did. I promised I would never hurt you and I didâ youâre in here because of me! I donât deserve your forgiveness!â He raised his voice, and you werenât scared of himâ just concerned.
âI wasnât scared of you Bucky, you just caught me off guard. Things were heatedâ Iâm not afraid of you and I most definitely donât think youâre a monster.â You tried to convince him.
âI really hope youâre not lying because if you were afraid of me⌠god I donât know what Iâd do. If you never wanted to see me againâ thatâs fine. Whatever you want, but I canât live knowing youâre afraid of me.â He whimpered out.
âI wouldnât lie to you.â
He nodded his head, knowing damn well youâd never lie. That was one thing he loved about youâ you were so honest. Keeping it real with him, even if he didnât wanna hear it. He could count on you for the truth.
âI still donât deserve your forgiveness.â He argued.
âWell too bad, Iâm forgiving you anyway.â You finally told him and he felt his chest expand.
Like he could finally breath.
âWhy?â He wondered.
You knew it was the line you two had been dancing on foreverâ but you knew if there was ever a time to say it. It was now.
âBecause I love you.â You admitted quietly.
His eyes widened just slightly, and his breath stuttered. He had always had a feeling what you two had was more than friends, he just never spoke up about it. Of course he loves you tooâ god he loves you so much. Thatâs why the thought of you being scared of him was enough to pull him away. He couldnât bear being around you if you were frightened by him. He couldnât live with himself. More importantly he now discovered, he really couldnât live without you.
âI love you so much.â He confessed back as your tears leaked down your cheeks.
You pulled his arm, and he let you pull him to the bedâ close enough where you could cup both his cheeks.
âDonât ever do that to me again, please. I need you Buckyâ life is not livable without you.â You cried, kissing his forehead to which he leaned into your lips.
âNever againâ I promise.â
This time, he wouldn��t break it.
