Ten Home Energy Efficient New Year Resolutions for Dayton
New Post has been published on https://www.ohenergyratings.com/blog/ten-home-energy-efficient-new-year-resolutions-for-dayton/
Ten Home Energy Efficient New Year Resolutions for Dayton
New Yearâs Energy Savings Goals
Resolve to cut your Dayton energy bills this year with our 10 tips. Learn how you can save more on future AES bills.
Itâs no secret that AES Ohio distribution rates are on the rise. Also, their PTC rates wonât change until the summer. So unless you commit to saving more energy, you could be throwing good money down the drain this holiday season. But if you commit to being more energy conscious, you could start saving big all year round. Letâs figure out ten of the best ways you can become energy efficient in Dayton.
Why Save Energy In Dayton?
Right now, AES Ohio has a PTC rate of 8.58 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). If you used 1000 kWh of energy per month, you would pay $85.80 just on the supply portion of your bill! Meanwhile, current distribution rates are 2.86082 cents per kWh. This equals about $28.60 on that part of your bill. In other words, about $114 per month!
However, AES Ohio wants to raise distribution rates. This rate hike could cost standard service customers an additional $21.75 per month for 1000 kWh of energy. A total bill of about $135.75 per month.
But you can cut your bill by cutting your homeâs energy waste with these tips.
Ten Energy Efficient Tips
1 Home Energy Assessment Start the new year with a home energy assessment. This can help you find problems you can solve to make the biggest dent in your energy waste. Unfortunately, AES Ohio does not provide these. Luckily, customers can get a professional energy audit and deduct 30% of the costs using Home Energy Audit Tax Credit for 2024.
2 Insulate Your Home Adding proper home insulation to attics, basements, and other parts of your house can save you up to 10% on total energy costs.
3 Caulk Windows And Doors Caulking windows and doors can cut energy loss by up to 10% â 20%.
Windows And Doors
4 Replace Windows The Department of Energy estimate that 25% â 30% of energy heating and cooling energy use is caused by heat loss/gain through windows. But energy efficient windows could save you up to 13%.
5 Add Window Coverings Energy efficient window coverings, for instance, can save up to 10% on energy in the winter and reduce summer heat gain by 20%.
Replacements And Upgrades
6 Use LED Light Bulbs Replacing incandescent bulbs with LED light bulbs can save most homes up to $225 per year!
7 Replace Old Heating And Cooling Equipment Generally speaking, replacing old heating and cooling systems can save you 15% â 20% on energy heating costs.
General Tips
8 Turn Down Thermostat Energy professionals recommend turning down your thermostat by 7 â 10 degrees for 8 hours a day (like while youâre away at work). They estimate that this could save you up to 10% on your bills per year! Programmable thermostat can make this easier.
9 Reduce Standby Power Standby power costs most homes about $100 per year! You can reduce this by unplugging devices you donât need or using smart power plugs.
10 Use Less Water Water heating accounts for up to 18% of home energy use. Reducing water usage, can put a big dent on this waste.
Dayton Energy Savings
Dayton energy customers may see rates rise in the new year. Most of the tips above could save 10-20% energy for the same jobs. By our estimate, that means using 100 â 200 kWh less. So, if the AES Ohio rate hike goes through, your energy bill could be as low as $110. Thatâs over $20 less than you would otherwise pay.
Plus, you can save even more if you shop for cheaper electricity rates at https://www.ohenergyratings.com.

Creating a New Human Avatar - Best Time Christmas & The Holidays to Recreate Your Avatar
For those who don't know I recently got my old account back from when Second Life was separated into a Teen sector called the Teen Grid. There was a time when there was a teen section of Second Life and an adults-only section. When most of the Teen grid accounts were frozen due to not being of age for our accounts to be migrated to the adults-only side of Second Life I created a new account to continue playing. Recently I got an email about my older avatar and somehow obtained it back after paying $10 guess, there was a payment on it that I owed, but for $10 why not. Now the reason I was providing you with this back story. I needed to create a new human avatar. I started with a furry because it was easy to put together and didn't take too much money out of pocket to create. Plus it was cute and made my avatar look like I was there forever so it worked. But I always wanted to create a human avatar for this alternate account. What better time than the holidays to do this. Why? because everything is either on sale or there are shop events where things are given for free. The best time of the year to create a full avatar is during the holiday season for this reason. Read more below to find out how I made my avatar and my suggestions for creating a gorgeous avatar on a budget this holiday season.
As mentioned above, the best time of year to create an avatar is now due to sales, deals, and freebies from well-known and popular shops through creators who made items specifically for events for free.
The main event I suggest participating in is called "The 12 Days of Christmas" It is an event where stores collaborate together to provide free items just by joining their groups. I know for free members you only get a specific amount of group slots, so it's okay to join the groups and then delete once you get the items, I know a lot of people who have done that recently. What you do is you get the list of stores by going here - then once you have the list of stores, you click every landmark (I suggest going in order because there are a lot) and then find the group joiners in every location, join the group, and click the gift. A lot of shops have little icons leading to the gift but most of the gifts will be at the front of the store and are easily accessible and easy to find. There were only a few stores where I had a little bit of trouble. Sadly I don't remember them to place here but just know they are all on the first floor, check the bottom floor in the front of each store, if it isn't there then go searching. Most likely you will find a lot of people in the area where the gift is so just go where the group of people are as well and that's a tall tale sign that it is there. Tips of the trade from someone who just went through visiting all the landmarks.
Lelutka is currently giving away two free heads this holiday season. One for males and one for females, and let me say, this time around the free head is amazing! I could actually do something with it. In the past the head that was provided for free was called the Raven, I struggled to create an avatar with it. No matter what I did there was just something off about it. This time around there is a head called "The Camila Head" (females) and "The Camden Head" (males) The cool part this time around is Lelutka must have partnered with the store "~Cherry~" to have her make shapes around both heads there are two shapes available one for males and one for females at the "~Cherry~" store for these heads and I highly recommend picking them up. Currently, my new avatar is created with ALL the free items and skins from the event. You can create an entire avatar for almost nothing. The reason I say almost nothing is because if you don't have a mesh body yet you would need to invest in one so everything works seamlessly together. I have some tutorials in my past posts in my archives that you can look back at to learn more about mesh bodies and baked-on-mesh (BOM). Please look at the photo above if you want to see the shape, MILA Porcealon skin & lipstick, and the ~Cherry~ Shape for Camila. None of it has been edited I liked how it looked without further shape editing believe it or not. It's so easy to put an avatar together right now and get a lot of high-quality items for free or less than $10 Lindens at this time.
Lelutka 12 Days of Christmas:
For the Lelutka Heads you can see below for reference - apologies ahead of time, I couldn't get people out of the way, as you know all my photos are Raw and un-edited for a reason, I want people to see Second Life the way it is supposed to be seen, without edits in the photos. I find that important and it's what sets my blog apart from others. Anyway, I will also provide the link for this location here as well. This is a sandbox specific for the free heads for the Christmas holiday event.
Lelutka 12 Days of Christmas Sim for the Free Heads - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LeLUTKA%20Xtra2/122/135/23
What about the hair and clothes you ask? Well on the marketplace it is super easy to find clothes that are promo, free, or 1 Linden for the Maitreya shape more often than the others but there are a lot of free clothes and low-cost clothes on the Second Life Marketplace for the Ebody - Reborn shape which I did look into. However, where I feel you can get the most bang for your buck for clothes is by spending $250 Linden and being part of the Scandalize Group, which has well-made color HUD clothes that will always look different due to the color HUD so if you're just starting out in Second Life, you don't need to have an extensive inventory yet. Just enough outfits that look good and up to par with today's community standards. I did this and there were 115 outfits as "gifts" through the group I could obtain, now I have 115 outfits and 4 pairs of shoes just by joining that group. I'm telling you it's worth it for newer players and I 100% recommend it if you're just starting out. For hair, my recommendation is to join the TRUTH Group. They are a popular Second Life hair creator here in Second Life the group costs $350 Lindens to join, but is worth joining. There are about 25 "group hair gifts" that you can get right off the bat. Then as you continue to stay a member of the group there are more group gift hairs every month. Each group gift hair comes with a style HUD and ALL the color HUDS it is definitely worth the cost of the Lindens if you are new to Second Life. It's important to note I'm also not being promoted to provide you with this, this is strictly my opinion and recommendation from my experience recreating a new human avatar.
Scandalize Store - $250 Lindens to Join The Group - "Group Gifts"
Above are photos of the Scandalize store for reference you can visit the store by going to this link
Scandalize Store -http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Scandalize/115/198/19
as you can see if you join the group by clicking on the "Group Gifts Teleporter" it will bring you to a skybox with all the "Group Gifts" from the very beginning. This is also the "Area 99 - Promo" Section where everything is 99 Lindens which is a steal nowadays for well-made textured and mesh clothes for all body types.
~Cherry~ Shapes:
Better late than never but I just learned after 13 years in Second Life, I can de-render avatars in the area so they don't show, and was able to get a photo of the shapes at the Cherry Store for reference. Above are the shapes you can get, they were made to go specifically with the Lelutka holiday heads there is a shape for the Camila head and a shape for the Camden head.
~Cherry~ Shape Store Link - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hyades/234/114/2006
You Will Need To Buy Your Own Body:
None are free during the holidays - they used to in the past.
You can't go wrong at this time of year, the only thing you would need if you don't have it yet is a body and there are a ton of different ones you can go with. It's all based on opinion and what you're looking for. If you want more of a curvy body and shape Ebody - Reborn is the way to go. If you want form-fitted and somewhat skinny the go-to and the body with the most appliers and outfits is the Maitreya body because it has been around for so long. With the Maitreya body, there are two to choose from the Maitreya Petite or the Maitreya LaraX. I have both but personally, I prefer the Maitreya LaraX. However, there are the Belleza bodies and you get three for the price of one which gives you more bang for your buck and comes with a skinny shape, curvier shape, and an average body shape. The only downfall is fewer clothes and appliers for that body compared to the Maitreya bodies. Again this is all based on preference and these bodies will run you about $2,750 Lindens (in-game currency) to obtain this is around the equivalent of $15-$20 USD. A lot better than $50+ for a well-made avatar up to the standards of everyone else in Second Life.
12 Days of Christmas Landmarks - Where can you get them?
You can get the landmarks by clicking the sign next to any of the shops you go to. For example, the one for ~Cherry~ Shapes has one of those signs next to the shapes click it and it will provide you with a folder with all the landmarks for the events.
Conclusion:
So there you have it! If you are new or trying to create a new avatar on a budget now is the time to do it. The holiday season always comes with its perks and "The 12 Days of Christmas" shopping event has pleasantly surprised me this year I'm glad I was able to partake In it and I hope you will too. I hope this post was helpful in your search for creating your best virtual self.
Until Next Time, Signing Off.

Iâm gonna go Turkey during Christmas! Is there any snow there? howâs the weather? The price is pricey is no surprise. Standard price for oversea!! If you buy any souvenirs , can you share us an image? :)
ooooo nice!! Hope youâll have nice holidays!! Snow in winter really depends on where exactly you are; was in Istanbul during New Years a few years ago and it was still a mild 20°C (well, mild for Turkey anyways), but it also gets snow once a year as far as Iâm aware. Genereally, the more northern and east sides get more snow though iirc.
Weatherâs like 30°C rn where I am but itâs night, so itâs very comfy! Plus during the day thereâs not much water saturation in the air so itâs fine too (as long as youâre not standing in the sun >v< That oneâs still a deadly lazer if youâre not in the sea. âŠOr anywhere in Antalya. F to Antalya fr even the sea is a kettle)
Thing is, the price is pricey this year even for Turkey lol. In Bodrum (uhhh think Mallorca: Turkey Edition. Or whatever the first place is you think of when hearing "Big Tourist Party Place".) they apparently want the equivalent of a solid 25⏠for a single Turkish Pizza this year; you Do Not Pay 25 bucks for a Single Turkish Pizza. Not even the rich people do, so now that place is pretty deserted this year. This is "the countryâs got an inflation crisis and weâre gonna milk the shit out of itâ pricing, not tourist pricing.
So, pro tip: If the price in TL sounds expensive converted into (currency you know), thatâs because it IS expensive. Straight up. 25âŹ/$ for a turkish pizza or any food are very much not normal, and neither is 10 bucks for a milkshake. This isnât Switzerland.
Donât got any souvenirs (unless you count clothes) but got some pictures of places!
AND FISH!!
(last oneâs a frög not a fish but for some reason the aquarium has a small amphibian section inside their rainforest water section)
#another anon ask#also:#new âcafe wifi aquired!#looks like itâs just my particular sim card being annoying lol

Always Tip the Babysitter, and 29 Other Unspoken Parenting Rules to Live By
Whether you follow an authoritative or gentle parenting style or something in between, there are many unofficial, unwritten rules that every parent tries to adhere to. While many of these "rules" might seem like common sense, you'd be surprised at the instances where proper parenting etiquette may not always be obvious, and you may question what is the right way to do things. Take playdates and birthday parties, for example. They're a great opportunity for your kid(s) to interact with others and for you to have an adult conversation with another grown-up in the room. But as a guest, should you offer to bring extra snacks and toys? Are siblings invited? What about best practices for dealing with a babysitter or childcare? Do you order them food too when you go out on a date night? And what's the deal with tipping when you get back home? Here, I've shared some of my own parenting rules as a mom and consulted other parents and caregivers to come up with an unofficial set of "rules" for navigating the lesser-talked-about side of parenting. Don't worry, there are bound to be a few parenting etiquette blunders here and there. But hopefully, this list will help you avoid some of the minefields when it comes to interacting with other parents, kids, caregivers, and teachers. Childcare/Caregiving Rules 1. Order Food For Date Nights If you have a nanny, babysitter, or grandparent taking care of your child for a date night, offer to order a dinner of their choice and ask what other snacks or drinks they like so that's one less thing to worry about. Plus, there are minimal dishes and clean-up at the end of the night, says Raena Boston, founder of The Working Momtras and cofounder of Chamber of Mothers. Be clear about what foods they're welcome to enjoy in the fridge or pantry. 2. Offer a Car Ride Home Attending a work or social event that runs late into the evening? Ensure your child's caregiver arrives home safely by offering to pay for their lift home if they don't drive. You or your partner can also drive them home if you're able to. 3. Tip Extra If You're Running Late It happens to the best of us. Sometimes you just miss the train or bus ride home, a work call goes overtime, or you hit some major traffic. Whatever the case may be, make sure to give your child's babysitter, nanny, or daycare caregiver a heads-up that you're going to be late for pickup, and pay for the additional time they're caring for your child. 4. Pay For Vacation and Sick Days Everyone deserves paid time off and sick days, including your children's babysitter or nanny. Whether they're taking a few vacation days or feeling under the weather and need to stay home, it's best practice to pay their daily rate. At the same time, make sure you alert them well in advance about vacation days your family is planning to take so they can plan for it. 5. Give a Monetary Gift During the Holidays Whether it's Teacher Appreciation Week or the holidays, nannies and teachers don't want another mug or candle. Give them a monetary gift, Boston says. This can be cash or even a gift card. And don't forget to pair it with a handwritten note! What's even better is if you or another parent in your kid's class can organize the classroom community to pool for a gift with a bigger impact. 6. Respect Your Nanny's Boundaries Avoid texting or calling your kid's babysitter, nanny, daycare caregiver, or teacher outside of usual business hours. No one wants to get calls and messages at 10:30 p.m. - unless there's an emergency, of course. Allow them enough time to respond before following up. 7. Get on the Same Page About Responsibilities Before you hire a babysitter or nanny, discuss their daily responsibilities. For some people, it means your nanny is doing some light housework, like washing baby bottles and preparing your baby's meals, in addition to caring for them. Or maybe you would like your nanny to strictly focus on watching,⊠https://www.popsugar.com/family/unspoken-parenting-rules-49304982?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

delicate. | harry styles.
summary: two lonely people find solace in each other for the night and something delicate blossoms from it.Â
pairing: harry styles x fem!reader
wc: 6.1kÂ
warning(s): fluff and smut (a first attempt at it)Â
a/n: aaah iâm excited and nervous to post this. i guess itâs considered a Christmas fic because itâs set around that time. i do hope you guys enjoy this! i also wanna wish you all happy holidays! side note, i recently made a ko-fi account, so if youâre able to and like my writing, feel free to donate to it! anyways, enjoy! reblogs/feedbacks are very much appreciated! all my love and stay safe <3 (disclaimer: the gif rightfully belongs to @hampsteadharryâ )
He pushed through the door of the bar, jazz music filling up his ears as he wandered to get a seat. He sighed as he sat on a bar stool, waiting for someone to attend to him and possibly give him the strongest drink here if he felt like it.Â
Harry felt tired. Heâs been tired and exhausted for a while now. Tired from work. Tired from the glitz and glam. Tired of people getting close to him because of his name and status. Just mentally and physically exhausted. But thatâs not to dismiss the fact that he still loves his job. He loves and enjoys making music and seeing his fans - who he declared as the best fans in the world - singing back his songs to him.Â
Though, there comes a time where he doesnât enjoy it as much as he thought he should lately. Being a well-known singer, songwriter and actor seemed pretty cool but no one knows how tiring and raining it could be. Always having to prove yourself and explaining yourself because of ridiculous rumours that articles make up. Always ending up hurt when you found out your friends were using you because of how well-known you were.
So, he announced that heâd be taking a break from all that. Of course, there was an uproar from his fans but in the end, they understood and sent him lovely messages about having to keep his mental health his main priority.Â
So now, here he was, sitting at a bar, trying to drink away his emotions. Perhaps, he would find a girl that he could go home with to fill in the empty space of his bed for the night. His break was quite eye-opening to say the least. Harry realised how alone he felt. He thought it was just all in his head because how could he be lonely even when he still had few of his friends around? But he didnât know that being alone and still feeling alone were different.Â
And the irony of it nearly being Christmas, there wasnât much magic or cheer going around for him at the moment. Heâll have to get his shit together before going back to visit his family for the holidays.
âWhat can I get ya?â a voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. A woman stood before him behind the bar, he realised it was one of the bartenders there. She wore a long sleeved black shirt, the sleeves rolled up until her elbows. Her long hair was tied up into a ponytail, strands of hair framing around her face. He thought she was pretty. Beautiful, he would say.
Bartender lady snapped her fingers at his face, knocking him out of his thoughts once again. âSeemed to be far away there. Are you sure youâre good here? In a bar?â She said and she smirked at Harry. He felt the blood rushed to his cheeks, having been caught staring at the pretty bartender lady.
âS-Sorry. A whiskey for now will do,â he said softly. Pretty bartender lady smiled at him and nodded. âAlright, then,â she said, heading off to get his drink.Â
Harryâs eyes followed her figure, almost like he was entranced by her. He was not sure why he did. Seconds later, she put his drink on a coaster in front of him. âThanks,â he quietly said as he picked up his drink.Â
âDonât mention it. You seemed like you need it,â she said almost knowingly. He chuckled at her words. Well, she got that right. âYeah, just trying to clear my head a bit,â he shrugged at her.Â
Pretty bartender lady nodded. âRough day?â She inquired. Harry raised an eyebrow at her question. He probably thought that she was trying to make a conversation other than cleaning shot glasses. He hesitated a little, thinking she might just be another fan and might spill whatever that comes out of his mouth to the nearest journalist. But then, he remembered that heâs already one drink down to probably getting drunk and his mind wonât really care even if he woke up hungover the next day.
So, he shrugged at her question. âGuess you could say that,â he said as he set down the empty shot glass. âI donât know. I guess I just have a lot of things in my mind. And drinking does numb my emotions a bit. If that made sense,â he chose to say as he looked at her.Â
She only giggled at his words. âThat sounds quite deep. Should write a song about it,â she joked and for a second, Harry thought she knew about him. Because for once, heâd like to talk to someone whoâs unaware of his celebrity status. Someone whoâd talked to him with a sense of normalcy. Instead of talking to the famous Harry Styles.Â
âMaybe I should. And Iâll credit you in it,â he joked. She laughed, throwing her head back as she did. âOh gosh, I always wanted to be a famous songwriter,â she said dramatically. They both laughed at this. It was weird to Harry, this scene felt so normal, it felt as if he knew her for a while now.Â
She nodded at his empty glass. âWant another?â She asked. Harry thought about it before asking. âActually, whatâs your favourite drink?â Pretty bartender lady was surprised to say the least, but smiled at Harry. âWhy?â He only smiled back. ââCause I want another drink. And I want to treat you one too. Iâll even pay for yours, love,âÂ
She blushed at this, not expecting him to be so forward yet sweet. âCheeky, arenât you?â She said smiling at him, and she noticed a hint of blush on his cheeks. âMy mum always taught me to be a gentleman,â he shrugged,
She chuckled at this. âFine then. Iâll be right back,â she said, going to get whatever her favourite drink was for Harry. Harry smiled as she walked away. He couldnât help but feel some sort of liking towards her, but not knowing why. Maybe because she was just a pretty bartender lady.Â
She returned later with two glasses of her âfavourite drinkâ and set them in front of him. Harry was skeptical to see the strange colour of liquid, raising an eyebrow at her. She only smiled and raised her glass up.Â
âBottoms up,â she said as she drank from her glass.Â
Harry sniffed the drink a bit before thinking he was being silly and drank it. As the sweet taste hit his taste buds, he chuckled as he shook his head. âApple juice? Really?â He questioned.Â
She laughed as she took another sip on her drink. âWell, you asked for my favourite drink and I gave it to you,â she said with a smirk in her face. âSo, you donât drink?â he asked curiously. She shrugged at him. âA bit sometimes. Just donât prefer it unless I wanna get really drunk,â she let out a small laugh. Harry chuckled at her words, finding himself agreeing with her.Â
Harry noticed how pretty of a smile she had. He didnât know why a tiny detail like that stuck out to him. He found himself quite intrigued with the pretty bartender lady, which he realised he had been calling her that in his head without knowing her name. He stared into her eyes and found himself hypnotized by them. Suddenly, it seemed like they were the only two people in the room. Okay, stop. Sheâll think youâre weird.
It was as if his mind took control over him and he found himself asking her, âWhen do you get off?â He asked, his eyes widening after realising the words that came out of his mouth.
What the fuck!?, he thought.
She was surprised, her mouth agape as she processed what he had just asked. But she seemed to compose herself quickly. âAnd why do you wanna know?â She asked nervously.Â
Harry paused before choosing his next words carefully. âBecause you seem really cool to talk too. And Iâd like to talk to you more,â he said. He was nibbling on his bottom lip, a habit he had whenever he got nervous. He shrugged before he continued, âItâs nice to have a friend, you know?âÂ
Pretty bartender lady - and Harry swore heâll get her name soon - nodded at him and smiled. Like she knew what he meant. âIâll be off at 10,â she said. It was only 30 minutes until then. Harry was initially surprised at this, not thinking whether she would agree to - whatever he wanted to with her later.Â
He nodded in response. âIâll, uh, wait for you here, then,â he spoke nervously. She chuckled and took their glasses away so she could clean and attend to the other customers before her boss yelled at her.Â
As she walked away, Harry called out to her. âWait!â She turned around, eyes wide when he called her. âUm, whatâs your name?â He asked. She smiled as her heart melted at the innocent question.Â
âItâs Y/N,â she replied.
Harry nodded, a small timid smile appearing on his face. âIâm Harry,â he said.Â
She smiled and nodded at his short introduction. Now, the pretty guy with forest green eyes had a name she could call him. âIâll see you later, Harry,â she said as she returned to the back of the bar.
Harry sighed, seeming to be smitten already by her. âYeah. See you later,â he said softly to himself.
â
Now, Y/N was no idiot. She knew who Harry Styles was.Â
She wasnât like the biggest fan, but she appreciated his music and thought he was a lovely guy in general, according to the fan experiences she read. She didnât know much about him, other than he was a former member of a very successful boyband and his music was just incredible. Plus, she thought he was pretty handsome.
And when she saw him walking through the doors of the bar, she had to take a double take to make sure her eyes werenât deceiving her.Â
She usually took her job quite seriously, she was polite to all customers and made sure they were always satisfied with their drinks or snacks. It was usually because she wanted to get the tips she needed to pay her rent. So, when Harry sat down by the bar, she couldnât help herself but go to him.Â
But now, she was supposed to meet him after her shift. Which was strange to her because all she did was being nice to him and making up a conversation. Did he realise that she was pretending to not know him? Was this some sort of mind trick that was playing on her? Though, he mentioned how it was nice to have a friend. Maybe there was something behind that phrase that meant something deeper to him.Â
It was already 10 PM. Y/N said goodbye to her coworkers as she grabbed her scarf and coat from her locker. Her heart was beating fast because she realised she was about to go on a little rendezvous with Harry Styles, well, that was what she thought.Â
She wasnât expecting anything. She honestly thought he might have just left, realising how silly it was to wait for a bartender friend he just made.Â
But she walked towards the front of the bar and he was still sitting in his seat like he said he would, waiting for her. And she felt like her heart might burst.
â
Harry didnât think heâd find himself sitting at a 24-hour diner, eating some waffles with a pretty friend he just met at nearly 11 PM. He was starting to blame that one whiskey drink he asked for earlier as to be honest, he didnât know what was happening.Â
When he met Y/N in front of the bar after the shift, he was nervous, shifting on his feet in habit. When Y/N asked him what he had in mind, he froze because he realised he didnât think this through. All he wanted was to talk to pretty bartender lady Y/N. The rest was all hazy to him. Luckily, Y/N just laughed at this and guided him to her favourite diner.Â
They both ordered waffles with honey and blueberry toppings, courtesy of Y/N as she said they were the best waffles she ever had. Y/N got herself a chocolate smoothie while Harry just ordered a nice hot tea. It was a nice little meal.Â
âSo, Harry, what brings you here to LA?â Y/N asked him as she munched on her waffles.Â
Harry sipped on his tea before clearing his throat. âUh, I live here, mostly for work. But Iâm on a break now,â he said, not giving out too much information. âHmm. But you havenât lived here long, I assume. Could tell by your accent,â she said knowingly.
He smiled at this. âYeah? You like my accent, darlinâ?â he teased her and pride filled himself as he saw her cheeks flaring up in the colour red. âQuite the flirt, are ya? But yes, your accent is cute,â she said as she ate. âGood to know,â he smiled and winked at her.Â
Y/N rolled her eyes at him as she blushed. He seemed to be quite the flirt, teasing her and calling her pet names. If it were any other guy, she wouldâve just left. She admitted that she might not have the best ways in maintaining a relationship. It was always whether she was too picky or bossy and her insecurities always got the best of her. She was used to feeling of being used for sex and her body even when she wanted to believe they wanted something more out of it. She closed herself off from love for a while now. While everyone said that her time will come, she just ignored them. Her main priority was herself and that was for sure.
But there was something about Harry that was pulling her in. He wasnât far from what the papers write about him but at the same time, he was. He seemed somewhat closed off as she was. She didnât want to pry, sheâd never do that. It was like he was in this fish tank surrounded by spectators watching his every move. Maybe the life he has had somewhat prevented him from forming a real, honest attachment. Or maybe she was just making this all up.Â
She sipped on her smoothie, her eyes focused on his. She realised how green his eyes were looking up close. âSo, I have a question. And I want you to answer this as truthfully as possible,â she said, propping her head on the palms of her hands. Harry raised an eyebrow at her, chuckling a bit before nodding. âAlright, love. Lay it on me,â he said, leaning back on the booth.Â
Y/N blushed at the pet name given and cleared her throat. âWhy did you want to see me?â
It was silent between them. Harry shouldâve known this question would come up. Truthfully, he didnât know how to answer it, he was never one to make friends with a random person and go on a little rendezvous late at night. He shrugged at this, âLike I told you, itâs nice to have a friend,â
âThat couldnât be all,â Y/N smiled. âYou donât seem like the kind of person to befriend a bartender and go out with her for a late supper the same night,â Harry blushed at this and scratched the back of his ear with his finger. âI donât know. Maybe I just wanted to be spontaneous a bit,â
Y/N hummed at this, sipping on her drink. Harryâs eyes were trained on her and she somehow found that a bit intimidating. âI got off work just to clear my mind a bit,â he continued. âSometimes, Iâd go out with my friends, Iâd meet some girls and spend the night with them, just to feel something. Just to not be alone,â This was the most Harry had opened up to someone in a while.Â
âBut you still feel alone,â Y/N spoke. Harry frowned at this, not quite sure what she meant. âYou could be with someone, and still would feel alone. I get that,â she explained.Â
Harryâs mouth was agape. âY-Yeah, I guess,â he mumbled out. âCan I ask you something?â
âGo ahead,â
âYou really donât know me, do you?â he asked, cocking his head to the side. She let out a small laugh. âI knew who you were the moment you stepped foot into that bar,â she said. Harryâs eyes widened. All this time, he was glad he thought Y/N didnât know him but she treated him like any other normal person. But she knew all along.Â
âThat was.. Surprising,â he chuckled as he ran his hands through his curly locks. âBut, you didnât seem to look like yâknow me. Treated me like a normal person,â She stifled a laugh. âWell, would you rather Iâd treat you like royalty? Curtsey in front of you?â She joked.Â
Harry laughed at this. âNo, no. It was nice. Itâs good tâjust pretend your life is normal for once,â he nodded at her. âIâm sure you have some friends that treat you like you are just Harry,â she smiled.Â
Harry only shrugged at this, âA few of them do. When youâre in the industry long enough, youâd know how to tell apart the few people that are honest and real with you and the many who just use you sometimes.â Y/N frowned at this but nodded. While she couldnât connect to being in the same industry as him, she knew perfectly how it feels like to be used by people you allowed yourself to get close to.Â
He brought his cup of tea to his lips, realising how cold it was getting. âYou want some?â He offered his drink to her. Y/N nodded, taking the cup from him. âYou like tea?â She asked.
âI do, but I prefer coffee,â he smiled at this random conversation. âPlease tell me you donât take your coffee black,â Y/N narrowed her eyes at him, as if she was daring him to admit it. Harry smirked and shrugged at her. âSorry, love. Itâs the best way to have coffee,â
âNo, itâs not! Itâs so bitter!â Y/N exclaimed and laughed at this. âI donât think this would work out,â she pouted. Harry swore his heart beated a little faster, seeing her lips pout. He wondered how theyâd feel against his. âWhat wouldnât work out, love?â He smiled at her.Â
Y/N blushed at this, looking down at her lap before she looked at him again. âWhatever you want this to be,â
They spent their time getting to know each other and by the time it was midnight, Harry ended up paying for their meals, ignoring her protests as he did. Y/N was tempted to wipe off that smug smile off his face. The December air howled as the night went on as the decorative holiday lights lit up the street they walked on. The two walked side by side, their hands brushing against each otherâs. If Harry had the guts, he would intertwine their hands together. But he didnât. Not yet, at least.Â
âRandom question, but do you prefer sunrises and sunsets?â she asked out of the blue. Harry thought for a moment before answering, âMânot sure, actually. Never really paid attention to them all that much.â Y/N nodded at his answer.
âSometimes I like to wake up early just to see the sunrise,â Y/N spoke. Harry looked at her, raising an eyebrow. âYeah? You like sunrises?â he asked gently, the cold air making his breath visible to see. âI do. I like sunsets too. But no one ever stops to appreciate the sunrises,â she sighed.
âMaybe itâs because they canât be bothered to wake up so early,â Harry joked, making her laugh. âYeah. Well, I do that. My apartment has a nice view of it. Itâs nice. The city is just beginning to wake up. The golden glow casted upon it,âÂ
Harry nodded at her. âIs this your way of inviting me over?â He teased. Y/N paused, her cheeks flaming up. It wasnât her intention, but she might as well have done so. Harry was a nice company to keep and she liked him. She really did like him. âMaybe,â she mumbled.Â
Harry smiled at her sudden shyness. It was something he liked about her. He really liked her. And he wanted her to take him back to her home, as pathetic as that made him seem.Â
âWell, lead the way, darlinâ,â
Y/N struggled to put her keys into the keyhole of her apartment. Nervous was an understatement for her. She had a really sweet and attractive man waiting behind her and she was about to invite him in. She was almost sweating at the thought and she didnât know why.
She opened the door, letting the warm air of her small apartment flow through them. Harry found it quite cozy. There were plants placed in different corners of the room, he noticed a record player by the television. There was also an easel standing by it. It was small, unlike his luxurious houses, but homey.
âYou paint?â He asked. Y/N blushed at this, she forgot to put away your paint and clean up. In her defense, she didnât think you would have company tonight. âYeah, sâjust a hobby. And somewhat a side hustle,â she said, taking off her coat and putting in on the couch. Harry did the same, subtly wiping his sweaty palms against his dark jeans.Â
âUh, d-do you want something to drink?â she asked nervously. Idiot, you just had drinks. âOr, if yâwant, I have some chocolate chip cookies. If you like chocolate chip cookies. I mean, yâdonât have to but-,â Y/N was cut off upon hearing Harry chuckling at her, his expression amused as he listened to her nervous rambling.Â
âDonât worry, darlinâ. Iâm good,â he said, smiling at her. She blushed again at the use of the pet name.
It was silence, the only thing that could be heard was their breathing as they looked at each other. Harry slowly walked over, Y/Nâs breath hitched as he did so. She was nervous and she was scared, she hadnât done this in a long time. His arm settled on her waist and it was the first time he touched her. His eyes, green as ever and filled with lust and passion, were focused on hers. She could feel his breath hitting her face due to the proximity between them.Â
Y/N gently placed her hands on his chest, feeling it rising up and down as he breathed. His forehead was already pressing against hers, their noses slightly brushing against each other. âCan I kiss you?â Harry finally asked ever so softly. And Y/N couldnât help but nod her head. âPlease,â
His lips crashed into hers, gently at first, but she kissed him harder, making it more passionate. She could hear him moan into the kiss as their tongues battled for dominance. His hands travelled lower to her backside, she moaned aloud as he squeezed them. When they pulled away, they would instantly pull into another kiss again, wanting to be close. Harry lowered his hands further behind her thighs, signaling her to jump so he could hold her tightly against him.Â
âY/N, I wonât be able to stop,â he said, gasping for air. Y/N only kissed him again, replying as her lips were against his. âThen, donât,â
Y/N wasnât sure how they made it to her room, laying nearly naked on her bed. She just realised how many tattoos he had on his body. She traced over the art scattered over his skin delicately. âHarry,â she whimpered as she felt his hardened length grinding against her core. She could feel her arousal seeping through her underwear. She gasped as he pressed kisses down her neck onto her collarbones, her eyes rolling back when he sucked a sweet spot there. His fingers entangled themselves between hers, squeezing them tightly.Â
âHarry, please,âÂ
âI got you, baby. Gonna take my time with you,â he said gently as he kissed her forehead.
Y/N could feel her heart beamed at the sweet gesture. She had one-night stands before, but none of them felt as intimate as with Harry. The way he kissed her, held her, it almost felt right. And she wondered if he felt it too.Â
When theyâre fully naked and Harry lined himself against her, he looked at her, as if he was asking if she was still sure of this; if she wanted this; if she wanted him. Her eyes were shining as the moonlight shone through her curtains, her hair sprawled against her pillow. She was beautiful and ethereal. He almost couldnât believe it.Â
A nod from her was all it took for him to push himself in, the two moaning in relief as pleasure shot through their bodies. He slowly thrusted, taking his time with her. The feeling of euphoria running through their bodies as they held each other close. Her legs were wrapped around his hips, wanting to keep his warm body close to her. âHarry, faster,â Y/N pleaded.
It was almost like a switch went off his head before Harry spreaded her legs further, thrusting harder and further into her. Moans and groans filled the room and the scent of sex and sweat filled the air. Harry had his head buried into the crook of her neck, breathing hard as he felt the pleasure burning at the bottom of his spine. He was close and he knew she was too from the way she was clenching around him.Â
âYou close, baby?â He breathed out as he looked at her. The bed was creaking with every movement they made. Y/N moaned in ecstasy as she nodded her head, trying to keep her eyes on him. She didnât want to miss a thing with him.
Harry took her by surprise by pulling out, lifting her up so she sat on his lap. He guided himself into herself, groaning as she welcomed him in her. Y/N moaned loudly as she felt him hit deeper, feeling herself clenching around him. She quickly began to move against him, smiling as she saw Harry shut his eyes in pleasure, murmuring her name. âC-Close, Harry, fuck,â she groaned as she moved faster.
Harry sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer as if it was possible. He thrusted his hips upwards against hers, adding to the euphoric pleasure that was coursing through them. âI know, baby. Fuck, yâfeel so good around me,â he moaned out, looking at her with hooded eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck, their heavy breaths hitting each otherâs faces.Â
It was only a glance into his forest green eyes that triggered her high. She moaned out loud, her body shaking against him, and just the sight of her high triggered Harryâs. He groaned against her neck and cursed a string of profanities under his breath as he kept thrusting his hips into her, prolonging his orgasm. When they calmed down from their highs, they took deep breaths before pressing their lips together. Harry could hear a whimper from the beautiful woman above him. He was delirious with the bliss feeling.Â
They laid on their sides, admiring each otherâs glowing yet sweaty state. Harry closed his eyes and sighed as Y/N brushed her fingers through his hair. âYâalright?â he murmured to her. She nodded and gave him a shy smile. He thought it was cute of her acting all shy after having done such an intimate and dirty activity with him. He kissed the tip of her nose, smiling as she scrunched it up. âYouâre beautiful,â he admitted.Â
Y/N let out a deep breath. There was no denying the attraction she felt for him. The setting was so intimate, far from what she thought it was going to be. She felt herself opening up to him, something she prevented herself from doing for a long time. She was scared of this, but she liked it at the same time.Â
âHold me?â she asked and Harry pulled her against his body without a second to waste. Their breathing was the only sound they paid attention to. Y/N nuzzled her face against the crook of his neck, her finger tracing the tattoos on his chest.Â
âAre you gonna stay?â she asked softly. She was not expecting anything, but she hoped he did stay.Â
Harry smiled and pulled her closer. âOnly if yâwant me to,â he said. Y/N returned the smile, tracing out his lips with her finger, feeling how soft they were.Â
âIâd like that,â
â
When Harry woke up, he felt an empty cold space beside him. Confused at first, he sat up slowly, wondering where the pretty woman he liked was. He turned his head and there she was, sitting by her window looking out into the early morning. She was sipping on something from her mug and she was wearing his dark blue T-shirt from the night before. She looked absolutely breathtaking.Â
âYouâre up early,â he said, catching her by surprise at the sound of his voice. She smiled at him and made her way to sit on his lap, putting her mug on the bedside table. âYou missed the sunrise.â She ran her fingers through his messy bed hair. He sighed, realising how much he liked her doing that simple yet intimate gesture. âYeah? Was it pretty?âÂ
âVery,â she sighed as Harry laid his head on his shoulder. He held her tightly in his arms, similar to how he did when they slept. âWell, youâre prettier,â he said, planting kisses up her neck. She realised how deep and raspy his voice sounded in the morning, it sent shivers down her spine. âWell, youâre a charmer,â she murmured.Â
Harry looked up at her, taking in her morning glow that she was emitting. âYour eyes are really pretty,â Y/N said softly as she admired his forest green eyes. âYeah? Yâthink so?â he said, playfully fluttering his eyes at her. She laughed at this, throwing her head back. Harry thought it was the sweetest sound. She traced the outline of his lips with her index finger, feeling how soft they were under her touch. Harry kept his mouth agape as she did so.Â
âCan I kiss you?â Y/N whispered. He smiled at her, remembering his exact words from the night before, before nodding. âPlease,â
The fluttering in his stomach intensified as their lips met. The thing that clouded Harryâs mind was how soft her lips were and how sweet they tasted. Their kiss almost made him feel dizzy for how much passion there was. When they pulled away, he looked at Y/N with hooded eyes, his breathing was heavy from the blissful sensation he felt. He gently wrapped his arms around her frame and it just felt right.
He pulled her into another kiss, a moan elicited from Y/N that sent blood rushing to his lower region. His hands travelled up his shirt she was wearing and he let out a groan, realising she had nothing underneath it. He felt drunk by her touch, her scent; everything. It was a delicate feeling he felt and he didnât want to let go of it. He could get used to this, the feeling of her. For once in a long while, he didnât feel alone anymore.Â
It was no doubt that Y/N felt the same.Â
It all just felt right.Â
â
The snow was covering the backyard, the trees and bushes were covered in white. Y/N watched as the snow fell while sipping on her hot chocolate. The house was decorated for the special wintery day. The tree was lit up and decorated with many ornaments as well as pictures on it, the presents laying closely below it.Â
Voices snapped her out of her thoughts, she smiled as she heard footsteps approaching the kitchen. She turned around to see her husband holding up a sleepy little girl in his large muscular arms, the little girl they were blessed with as their daughter. Harry was talking animatedly to Ruby, trying to wake her up in the Christmas spirit.Â
He gasped and pointed his finger at you. âLook, Rue! Itâs mummy! An early bird, isnât she?â He said to Ruby as he bounced her gently in his arms. You rolled your eyes at his silliness. âMama,â the little girl reached out to her mother as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. Y/N set her mug on the counter and grabbed lifted little Ruby in her arms. âMorning, Rue baby,â Y/N cooed softly at her, closing her mouth with the back of her hand when she yawned.Â
âThink sheâs a bit tired,â Harry chuckled at them. âYâthink? Whoâs the idiot that woke her up early?â Y/N asked sarcastically at her husband. He only lifted his arms up in defense, a smug smile painted on his face. Ruby quietly giggled at her parents. He sipped on a mug of hot chocolate and she narrowed her eyes at her as he leaned back on the counter.Â
âAre you really drinking my hot chocolate?â Harry paused for a bit before swallowing the warm drink. âIâll make ya another one, love,â he rubbed the back of his neck. Y/N rolled her eyes at him before chuckling. âYou better, Styles.â She felt Ruby shifting in her arms and gently bounced her. âYâalright, bubs?â She pouted at her daughter.Â
âSnow,â she said, pointing out the window where the snow was falling. âYeah, bubs! Itâs snowing!â Y/N exclaimed excitedly to her, making Ruby giggle. âDada, snow!â she exclaimed to her father.Â
Harry laughed at his daughterâs adorableness. âThatâs right, Rue!â He agreed, stroking through her curly hair that she inherited from him. He placed a hand gently on Y/Nâs clothed stomach. âAnd howâs bub number 2 doing?â He asked softly. Y/N smiled, her heart beaming at the gentleness of her husband. âTheyâre doing great in there,â she said, placing her hand over his above her two-month growing belly.Â
Harry beamed at this, pressing a gentle kiss on her lips, eliciting a small whimper from her.Â
âI love you,â he whispered against her lips. Even after all these years, she found his green eyes just as beautiful and hypnotizing.
âI love you, too,â she said and smiled at him as they broke away.Â
Perhaps, Harry would consider himself lucky that his sad lonely self walked into the bar she previously worked at five years ago. Maybe if he hadnât opened up to Y/N or went back to her apartment, he wouldnât be able to have this little family he was blessed with. There was something so delicate and real he felt that night that he wanted to keep. So naturally, they both let their walls down and took a chance on each other. And perhaps because it was nearing Christmas that night, he would think of it as some Christmas miracle.Â
âWanna open the presents, Rue?â Y/N asked Ruby as bounced her in her arms. Ruby giggled, not even understanding what her mother said, and nodded. âYeah? Wanna open presents with mummy and daddy?â Y/N said excitedly as she carried her into the living room. Harry chuckled at the precious sight of them as he followed them.
As they sat down in the living room, he took a moment to just admire his wife and his daughter. Y/N, though wearing one of his Christmas sweaters and sleep shorts, looked just as beautiful and ethereal as she did the night they met. She held little Ruby in her arms, who was busy tearing up the small present in front of her. His wife cheered at their daughter as she took out a little stuffed teddy bear, giggling as she waved it around with her small hands.
Y/N looked up at him and gave him a loving smile as she intertwined her fingers with him. Despite them being in such cold weather, her hands felt warm against his. He admired how they fit perfectly in his. Ruby babbled incoherently to her parents about her gift, in which they nodded like they understood what she said. Harryâs heart warmed up just thinking of how theyâll have another addition to their loving little family soon.Â
His heart was full of love and happiness. He no longer felt alone. He had everything he wanted in that moment, his growing little family.
Everything was just right.Â

Chastity Tips by Candi Jane
These tips are coming from the perspective of a sissy(međ), these things still help without the sissy element.
I have been hearing sissys keep saying that you want to do long term chastity, but are too weak. I am hearing about how you want to feel helplessly desperate and horny. But as you get too horny and before you reach helplessly desperate you grab the key, unlock your little clitty, and jerk off. Then you have to start the process all over. Ideally you would have a keyholder, someone that forces you to keep honest, but most of us are not fortunate enough to have one. So here are some things that may help. Notice how I always use the plural for keys? Chastity devices come with more than one key, so make sure you are keeping them all togetherđ
Mail your keys to yourself:
Pretty self explanatory, take a self-addressed envelope, put a stamp on it, seal your keys in the envelope and mail it away. This is a great one to get the keys completely out of your possession and away from you for a period of time.
Though I recommend at least using your real address so the keys get back to you đ
Depending on how the mail runs in your area this could be a 2-5 day event, for the cost of an envelope and a forever stamp. If you mail it on Saturday night after pickup, the mail will not get picked up until as early as Monday, so that is an extra 36 hours. There are also holidays to consider in which the mail doesnât run, so if you mailed your keys after pickup on Saturday of Labor Day weekend, the earliest the mail will pick up your keys will be Tuesday. By that point you will have already had almost 3 days of chastity, add that to how well the mail is in your area, you may end up in a week in chastity! That is not even mentioning mailing during the holiday season when the mail is at its busiest, at that point you may be hoping that the keys did not get lost in the mail đŹ Which is one downside to consider when mailing. How well do you trust your postal service? Sometimes things do get lost in the mail đ€·ââïž
Freezing your keys:
This one does require you to have a fridge/freezer that you can use to freeze your keys. This one is a bit difficult to do if you share your fridge/freezer. Unlike mailing the keys to yourself, the keys will be with you, so there does require a little bit more restraint, but this can be a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun experimenting with this one, a proper sissy school girl doing proper sissy science đ So first and foremost donât do what I did first and use a glass bottle. I first tried putting the keys in an old glass liquor bottle. That was a horrible idea
DO NOT USE A GLASS CONTAINER
As I learned, as water freezes it freezes from the outside in and expands which makes the frozen water less dense than the liquid water which is why ice floats. I also learned that it is a really strong force and will break the glass, as I learned when the bottle neck broke in my hand and crashed to the floor đš I was not injuredđ
So next I used a plastic gallon jug, which has a couple of pluses. First and foremost it will not break into harmful pieces(at worst crack open), and second a gallon is more than twice as large of volume as the normal 1.75L that the large liquor bottle has (3.785 liters = 1 gallon) so it will take longer to defrost. Second mistake I made was dropping the keys in the bottom to freeze.
As everything melts from the outside in, this would be the first to defrost and makes the size of the container mostly obsolete. Solution: I tied the keys to a string, lowered it down until it was halfway in the container and taped the string to the jug.
Do not fill it to the top, remember water expands as it freezes so be sure to give it room. Freezing takes about 24 hours. I recommend checking in on it periodically, because ice freezes from the outside in and you will see your keys floating surrounded by its ice prison, and if needed you can add more water.
The first time I froze the keys in the gallon jug(keys at the bottom), I checked how long it took to defrost at 74F in the shade, and it took less than 8 hours. Those that are familiar with cooking meats, know that ideally you wouldnât defrost at room temperature, but allow it to defrost in the refrigerator. After 24 hours of freezing I put the jug in the refrigerator. Following times are based on my fridge being set at the factory recommended coolness.
After a day the water on the outside has melted, so if my keys were at the bottom I would be able to pour them out at this point.
After 3 days the ice has defrosted enough in which I can now start to see the keys trapped in its frozen prison
Every day I see a bit more ice thawed, slowly and slowly seeing my keys becoming closer and closer to freedom
Finally after 7 days I see my keys floating freely in liquid water
Only one problem
The ice above is not thawed enough to let me pull the string out đ« So I put it back in the fridge, and five hours later my keys were free!
From freezing to thawing was just over 8 days of chastity.
So the numbers I have for a gallon jug of water is: freezing - 1 day, thawing at 74F in shade ~ 8 hours, thawing in the fridge ~ 173 hours.
During this time you can start focusing on doing important things. At the longest it is 8 days, and that is plenty of time to accomplish things. Many sissys have maid fantasies, well use that time to clean your home, not just a little clean, but really deep clean your house(bonus if you have a uniform). Imagine your mistress/master will be inspecting it later. Ask yourself, âWould I want to serve someone that accepts this kind of work?â or âIf I paid a couple hundred dollars for cleaning service, would I be satisfied?â whicheverđ As you are locked up and cannot jerk off, you can start practicing on your blowjob and anal skills. Use this time to learn to deep throat, or work towards that ever elusive sissygasm. Set goals at the beginning of things that should be done by the time the keys are defrosted.
Because the keys take 8 hours to defrost at room temperature, certain tasks can equal x amount of time out of the fridge. Such as if you are practicing your deep throat skills, every time your nose touches the wall/floor equals five minutes out of the fridge. 8 hours would be roughly 100 times, or even for every second your nose to the wall/floor is five minutes. That gives over a minute and a half total of your throat being filled đ Cleaning your home can work in similar point systems too. Each chore is x amount of points, some may be more than others, as cleaning the bathroom takes a lot more than doing laundry(unless you are washing by hand). They donât have to be sissy/sub tasks. You can make some of them for your better wellbeing. Such as, maybe you are someone that needs some motivation to get in shape. Have each mile jogged/walked/run can equal half an hour. Or can go simple and for the amount of time you spent working out is the amount of time spent out of the fridge. The plus side is you can work on your sissy figure and improve your regular quality of life đ These goals can really be for anything that you may need to work better on yourself, like reading more(yes I am talking to you), learn/practice a new language, learn/practice an instrument, even things that will help improve your career(insert your own examples lol). These are only a few examples. But make some tasks/goal(what needs to be accomplished) and rules(the rewards of completing a task and punishment for failing). Simple punishment is it goes back in the freezer. Remember to make sure your tasks/goals are realistic, and donât try to tackle too many things at once. So often people get this huge motivation and think of all of these things they are going to do, but then when things arenât working out the way they planned they give up. Schedules get made and when we canât maintain them we give up. That is how those 10 dollar gyms are successful, their pay plan only works when the majority rarely/never show up. So if you set a really high goal that is unrealistic, say from never exploring anal to wanting to take Captain Ameicaâs cock(see Chris Evenâs cock) in that time period, maybe unrealstic. Or spending an hour a day working on your blowjob skills. Or the working out goal, you plan to run 2 miles every day, or every other day. That sounds great in theory, but if we fail to meet it we have a tendency to give up. You start out good for a day or two, then on day three you make an excuse on why you cannot and by day 5 you feel your goal is too far out of reach and give up. If that is the case, then adjust your goal and the tasks along with it, the first one may have been too ambitious. So if your goal/task is too difficult, instead of giving up on it, adjust it. Maybe I should be a Sissy Life Coach lol đ Make the goals realistic, try to better yourself as either a sissy or even in your regular life. These are just some of my ideas on this.
I say this as doing this by yourself, but this is something that can be done in a keyholder relationship. And the keyholder can devise the tasks that serve them best.
Freewill:
Now freezing does take some freewill, there are plenty of ways to cheat, and get around things. It isnât instant, but still freewill is required. Freewill doesnât require you to freeze or mail or anything. So this last tip I have is: try to get better than the last time. I say this over and over, but remember baby steps. I did not go from buying my first chastity to 60+ 24/7 consecutive days. It took time and practice. I went an hour, then maybe two hours. If I got too horny or it got too painful, I would take it off. The next time I would try to go longer. My first attempt to sleep in chastity I gave up not even halfway through the night, it became too uncomfortable. I worked my way from there, now I prefer to sleep in chastity. So each time try to get better than the last, and if you fail, unlock and jerk off, or if you complete the time and are rewarded with unlocking yourself, well thatâs a perfect time to work on becoming a cum eater đ(again baby steps). If you always lose the urge after, then try to push yourself to at least bring some of it to your face, after that push yourself to taste just a little, and then go from there until you are eating it all đ€€ It may take some months but keep working at itđ
Have fun and drink cum â€â€â€

Itâs Hard to Expresso My Feelings For You
Shouto Todoroki x Fem!Reader
Summary:Â The coming of Winter also means the coming of holiday drinks to put people in the festive spirit. One shop hasnât released them yet, but that wonât stop a certain employee from trying to make your day.
Warnings/Contains: Coffee Shop!AU, fluff, pining, cursing, Shouto being a clueless yet adorable idiot and Izuku teasing him about it.
Word Count:2788
A/N: I typically have everyone call each other by their first names, but in this I had Shouto and Izuku call each other by their last names cause it just sounded off if they didnât lmao; also I know espresso is spelled wrong in the title, itâs on purpose haha.
Shouto sighed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as cleaned up the counter top as it was covered in grinded up coffee beans from the night before. He knew that Denki was the one of the people who closed last night and most likely was the one to leave the mess. Of course, it could have been Katsuki for all he knew. Whenever the blond closed, he liked to leave as quickly as possible and if he was in a bad mood, which was often, he could leave some of the minimal stuff left to the openers to take care of.
Shouto glanced at the clock on the wall to check the time, sighing as he realized that he had to unlock the doors to the shop; after all, they opened in 10 minutes. He walked away from behind the counter, keys in hand ready to unlock the door when he heard a voice from the back.
âHey, Todoroki! Do you know where the eggnog is?â
Shouto unlocked the door quickly before walking to the counter again. He double checked the counter before going to the back where he heard Izuku calling for him. âWhatâs eggnog?â He stood in the doorway of the fridge as he watched his coworker and friend, who had convinced him to take the job he now has, rummage through the boxes that were shipped to the store last night.
Izuku chuckled to himself as he heard his friend. âItâs a cold drink that people like to have during the holidays.â He sighed, his smile turning into a frown as he finished looking through all the boxes; he stood up. âAnd it doesnât look like we didnât get any in last nightâs shipment.â
âWere we supposed to?â Shouto followed his friend back to the front so that they could be ready for when some of their early bird customers came into the shop.
Izuku looked over everything on the counter, even though he knew that his friend had already prepared everything for the morning. He leaned against the countertop. âWell, since itâs officially December, I figured we would. Plus we might even get more business as a result.â He smiled as Shouto nodded, seeming to understand what he meant.
Just then the bell on the shopâs door jingled, signalling that someone had walked in. Izuku glanced at the girl, giving her a grin. âHi! Welcome to the Academia Coffee House,â he glanced at Shouto. âYou take the order and Iâll make it?â
âYeah, sure.â Shouto nodded and walked over to the register. âWhat can I get for you today?â
The girl looked at Shouto after glancing at the menu, stepping towards the counter. âUm, do you by any chance have an eggnog drink that I can add a shot of espresso to?â
Shoutoâs eyes widened slightly, surprised to hear about this eggnog drink twice already today. âNo, we donât. Iâm sorry.â
The girl smiled, shaking her head. âOh, itâs fine, donât worry about it.â She adjusted the backpack that hung on her shoulder. âIn that case,â she glanced at Shoutoâs hair, smiling to herself. âCan I just get a medium peppermint mocha with an extra shot, please?â
âSure.â Shouto clicked the drink on the registerâs screen, adding the extra shot of espresso the girl asked for. âCan I get a name?â
â(Y/N).â
Shouto nodded, typing the name into the computer. âAlright, your total is $6.48.â
(Y/N) nodded, handing him a couple bills. After Shouto handed back her change, she placed it all into the tip jar. âThank you, have a good day.â
âYou, too.â
With that, she walked away, picking the table by the unlit fireplace in the corner. She sat down and opened her backpack, pulling out her laptop along with a notebook and pen. Shouto didnât even realize that he was staring until Izuku nudged his arm.
âTodoroki, can you hand me the whipped cream?â
Shouto blinked out of whatever trance he was in and glanced at his friend before reaching into one of the fridges underneath the countertop. He grabbed the can of whipped cream and handed it to Izuku who happily took it from him.
âYou okay there?â Izuku chuckled, grabbing one of the glass mugs and pouring the drink into it. âYou appeared to be dozing off there.â
âWhat do you mean?â Shouto closed the fridge, facing Izuku.
âYou were staring at that girl werenât you?â
Shouto hesitated his answer before responding, making Izuku chuckle again as he put the whipped cream on top of the drink. âShe tried ordering one of those eggnog drinks. I was just shocked by it. I didnât think it was that popular.â
âWhatever you say, Todoroki.â Izuku smiled at his friend before placing the mug onto itâs matching saucer; he placed it on the pick up counter. âPeppermint mocha with an extra shot for (Y/N).â
Upon hearing her name, she glanced up at the counter and stood up as she saw her drink. She walked over, carefully picking it up. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome. Enjoy!â Izuku nodded, glancing over at Shouto, who was once again watching (Y/N) go back to her table.
âYou know itâs not nice to stare, Todoroki.â
âI wasnât staring.â
A couple days later, Todoroki had another morning shift. He wasnât opening the shop thankfully, but he was still tired nonetheless; he yawned as he opened the door, quickly making his way behind the counter to clock in as he saw the line of people starting to grow at the register.
âGood morning, Shouto.â Ochako smiled as she saw her coworker, both out of relief that there was more help to make the orders that kept coming in and the fact that she hadnât seen him in a couple weeks due to the way the shift schedule had been made recently due to the holidays coming up.
âGood morning.â It may have been 11 oâclock, but for some it felt as though it was the crack of dawn. âWhere do you need me?â
âUh,â Ochako glanced at the register, sighing in relief as Eijirou appeared to be taking the orders without a problem. âIf you could help me make some of these drinks Iâd greatly appreciate it.â
âSure thing.â Shouto clocked into the system before grabbing an apron and putting it on. He walked over and picked up one of the order receipts, his eyes widened as he read the name at the top as well as the order.
Order # 44Â -Â TO GO
Name: (Y/N)
Med. Pep. Mocha
ADD ESPRESSO SHOT
Shouto smiled to himself before getting started on the drink, glancing up every now and then to try and spot the girl he had seen just a couple days prior. Eventually he did see her, smiling to himself as he saw her on her phone, not necessarily paying attention to anything else. He didnât even realize that he muttered the word âcuteâ under his breath as he continued making her drink.
Soon enough, he grabbed a lid for the to go cup he was holding, putting it on; he walked over to the pick up counter, placing the drink down. âPeppermint mocha with an extra shot for (Y/N).â
As she heard her name, (Y/N) looked up from her phone and walked over to the counter. She grabbed her drink, meeting Shoutoâs gaze. âThank you so much.â
âYouâre welcome,â he smiled as well. âHave a good day.â
âYou, too.â (Y/N) glanced down at the name tag on his shirt, smiling a little bit more before she turned around and left the shop.
Shouto took an extra second to watch her leave before walking back over to where the order receipts kept coming on the counter.
Later in the day, once it got less busy in the shop, Shouto walked over to the register. âHey, Eijirou,â the red head turned around to face him. âDid anyone ask you about an eggnog drink?â
Eijirou thought back to earlier in the day, eventually nodding. âYeah, there was. Why do you ask?â
Shouto shrugged, trying not to seem excited or anything but nonchalant. âMidoriya brought up how we may end up making those and someone asked about it the other day. I didnât know if that was happening any time soon.â
Eijirou shrugged. âI donât know either. Last I heard weâre not doing anything special for the holidays.â
Shouto nodded, leaning back on the counter with his arms crossed. He thought back to that (Y/N) girl who had come in twice now asking about the drink. He didnât know why she was on his mind now, but he wasnât particularly mad about it; just confused. He didnât even know her besides her name and the drink she keeps wanting to order in their shop.
~ Â Â ~ Â Â ~
âYouâre thinking about her again, arenât you?â
âWhat? Who?â
âThat (Y/N) girl whoâs been coming in every now and then.â
Shouto held back a sigh from Izukuâs words, not wanting to admit to his friend that he was right about his assumptions. Instead of replying, he simply kept scrolling through his phone while leaning against the counter.
It had been almost 2 weeks since (Y/N) had first come into the store asking if the shop was selling an eggnog drink, and every time, since that drink wasnât available, she would order a peppermint mocha with an extra shot of espresso. Shouto had even seen her and taken her order so much that the two even knew each other by name; however, Shouto, for some reason unknown to him, wanted to try and make her drink that sheâd been asking for for nearly 2 weeks.
âIâll take your silence as a yes then.â Izuku laughed, starting to make himself a drink. They were on the closing shift, so it wasnât as busy, and it was just the two of them working since Mina called in saying that she was sick.
âIâm not thinking about (Y/N).â
Izuku glanced over Shoutoâs shoulder as he reached to grab the half and half cream beside him; he held back a smirk. âThen why are you googling how to make eggnog from scratch?â
Shouto immediately closed his phone, shoving it in his pocket and crossing his arms while his cheeks tinted the slightest shade of pink. âI am not.â âWhatever you say, Todoroki.â He laughed softly, finishing making his drink for himself. He took a sip before speaking up again. âYou should try getting her phone number. She appears to be into you as well.â
Shouto glanced to the side, his shoulders appearing to lose their tension. âYou really think so?â
âYeah. Why not go for it, you know?â Izuku took another sip of his drink before glancing over at the door as it opened. He smiled to himself. âActually, why donât you go ahead and try making the drink she wants?â He then placed his drink down on the countertop before walking over to the register where (Y/N) stood waiting patiently.
âHi (Y/N)! How are you this evening?â
âPretty good, thank you. How about you, Izuku?â
Shouto felt his stomach turn with nerves as he saw (Y/N). He glanced at the floor before pulling his phone back out from his pocket, unlocking it to see the eggnog recipe he had been looking at. He took a deep breath as he heard (Y/N) question of whether or not they had an eggnog holiday drink, only for Izuku to politely say no, despite there being a sparkle in his eyes that said otherwise.
Shouto took a deep breath before gathering the ingredients he needed in order to make the drink. He heard (Y/N) walk away from the counter, standing off to the side by the counter. He tried not to think about the fact that she was possible watching him make her drink.
After about 15 minutes, (Y/N) grew confused as to why her drink was taking so long considering the fact that no one else had come into the store and Shouto was the one making her drink. She was about to say something when she caught a whiff of a familiar scent, but not one she had smelled in the store before.
âIs that-â
âEggnog? Yep.â Shouto spoke up as he heard her, glancing over and smiling at her as he began pouring said drink into a glass mug. âDo you still want the espresso in it?â
âYes, please.â
Shoutoâs smile grew as he heard the excitement in her voice. He then readied the shot of espresso. âWhipped cream and cinnamon?â
âPlease.â (Y/N) nodded, touched at the fact that the man was taking the time to make her a drink from scratch. She watched as Shouto added the espresso shot before the whipped cream and cinnamon. âThank you so much, Shouto.â
âWell, I figured youâve been getting tired of the peppermint mocha.â Shouto set the mug atop the saucer, gently pushing it toward (Y/N) on the counter.
âWell itâs much appreciated.â (Y/N) laughed softly before picking up the mug carefully since it was still pretty hot. She took a sip, her eyes widening.
âIs it good?â Shouto felt his heart rate pick up as he hoped that she liked it; he let out the breath he was holding as he watched her nod with a bright smile on her face.
âItâs delicious! Did you guys finally get eggnog in stock?â
Shouto shook his head, looking off to the side while one hand held the back of his neck. âNo, um, I actually made it from scratch,â he paused, not sure what else to say. âYou kept asking us for it, and I figured I could try and make it for you.â
(Y/N) nodded, placing the mug back on the sauce before picking it up again. âStill, it means a lot. Thank you.â She smiled and walked over to her usual table by the fireplace, which was lit today.
In the last hour of his shift, Shouto couldnât stop himself from smiling and glancing over at (Y/N). Eventually he and Izuku had to start closing up the shop. Shouto started turning off and cleaning the machines while Izuku began wiping down the tables. When she saw the green haired man, (Y/N) began putting away her laptop. âThank you again for the eggnog espresso. It was delicious. You guys should add it to your menu if you can.â
âWe just might.â Izuku glanced over at Shouto as he walked into the back room; he looked back over at (Y/N). âTodoroki typically doesnât know how to tell people that he cares about them, youâre pretty special, you know that?â
(Y/N) glanced over at Shouto as he walked back to the front, smiling as he met her gaze. âYeah. I could tell that heâs kinda shy in a way.â She finished putting away her things in her backpack before walking over to the counter. âShouto?â
The two toned hair man looked up, wondering what she could possibly ask of him. âYeah? What is it?â
âI know this may seem a bit forward, but would it be possible for me to get your number?â
Shouto stared at her for a second, glancing at Izuku who stood a couple feet behind her and nodding enthusiastically; he nodded as well. âSure.â
Grabbing a piece of receipt paper and a pen, Shouto wrote down his number before handing it (Y/N). âI apologize for my handwriting.â
âItâs alright. I can read it just fine.â (Y/N) laughed softly, trying not to show her enthusiasm too much. âIâll text you later tonight, okay?â
Shouto nodded, still surprised at the fact that (Y/N) also appeared to also take an interest in him. With that, (Y/N) said goodbye to him and Izuku before leaving the shop, the smile on her face making it evident that she was unbelievably happy.
Izuku walked over to his friend, clearly happy as well. âTodoroki, youâve got a date!â
âA date?â Shouto eyed him, confused. After all, he never saw his parents go on dates, and whenever he heard about them from his friends, they always appeared to be them physically going out with someone. âBut (Y/N) didnât ask to take me out somewhere.â
Izuku laughed, shaking his head. âNo, no, I mean that she wants to take you out with you as your date.â He paused, trying to study Shoutoâs reaction. âShe wants to get to know you better Todoroki.â
Shouto looked back at the shopâs windows, part of him hoping that (Y/N) would be there; he smiled to himself, nodding at Izukuâs statement. âI guess youâre right.â

Read previous chapters HERE!
Warnings: Fluff & NSFW
Word Count: 2062
Pairings: Laila x Harry
Enjoy!
5 Weeks later
Laila is just finishing her last client of the day when her phone PINGS.
She shook her head.
Ever since that night he had picked her up from Nikki's he will not let her walk home in the evenings by herself. No matter how many times she had told him that she was fine with walking home, he'd be outside the shop waiting for her to finish at the end of her shift.
15 Minutes later
"Laila, your boyfriend is here!" Daniel calls over "OK, I'm just finishing up Mrs. Evans" she smiles up at her in the mirror.
Mrs. Evans has been one of Laila loyal clients, when she has move salons Mrs. Evans has always followed. She has to get 2 buses to get to this salon, Laila has offered to do her hair at home, but she says she likes coming to the salon as it gets her out of the house. Even though she shouldn't, Laila always charges her less than the salons prices, but unbeknownst to Mrs. Evans Laila makes up the difference through her tips.
"I'll finally get to meet this boyfriend of yours, Laila" she whispers, Mrs. Evans has a glint in her eyes "Hang on a minute! Is that why you asked for a late appointment? I've told you that he walks me home, haven't I!?" Mrs. Evans giggles "Mrs. Evans! That is sneaky!" she narrows her eyes at her with a smirk "Laila, How many times do I have to tell you it's Ivie!" Laila leans in and whispers "I know but my boss says it's unprofessional to call clients by their first names" Ivie huffs.
"Right, all done!" she gets up from the seat and hands Laila some money "There's a little extra in there to take this boyfriend for a drink" she whispers, Laila tuts "You didn't have to do that!" she isn't having any of it "Now where is he?" Laila walks her to the reception desk.
Daniel knows the drill to take the money from Laila once she has gone.
He's sat down when he saw her, his face lights up. He gets up from his seat "Mrs. Evans..I mean Ivie, this is my boyfriend Harry Taylor..Harry this is my client of..." it takes her a moment to think "11 years Mrs. Ivie Evans" he offers her his hand and a bright smile, "It's a pleasure Mrs. Evans" she smiles at him "Oh please call me Ivie. Nice to meet you Harry!" she shook his hand "Isn't he handsome Laila! He has dimples too, they say you will never be without a girlfriend if you have dimples!" Harry chuckles "Well thank you, Ivie! I bet you have broken a few hearts in your time"
Ivie blushes "I like him, Laila!" they are interrupted by the sound of a car horn "Oh, that will be my grandson! He's giving me a lift home, Laila can you book me in for 8 weeks time just text me a time. It was nice meeting you Harry, you better take care of her or I'll be after you!" Laila hides a laugh "Don't worry I will. Nice to meet you to Ivie" Harry tells her as she leaves the shop she waves over to Laila.
Once she is out of sight Laila hands Daniel the money Ivie had given her "She's paid ÂŁ15?" Daniel asks "She said she put some money in there for me to get my boyfriend a drink" Laila says as she empties her tip jar and hands Daniel the extra fiver "I don't know why you don't just ask her to pay the extra tenner" Daniel shook his head "Because I've been doing her hair for years and she's a pensioner"
Harry looks at her confused "Laila, only charges Mrs. Evans ÂŁ10 for haircut and makes up the difference through her tips" Daniel tells him "Ten pounds difference right?" Harry asks, pulling out his wallet and sticking a tenner in Laila tip jar "Harry!" she pulls it out and hands it back to him, he holds up his hands refusing to take it back "Harry! You can't do that!"
He shrugs his shoulders "I just did and I didn't know about the tip system last time, so call it a late tip!" She huffs "Plus, she did say to you to get your boyfriend a drink!" He winks "Fine!" She pockets Harry's tip and the rest of the jar.
She helps Daniel lock up before leaving for the day, Harry links his fingers through hers "How long have you been doing that for Ivie?" Harry asks her as they walk home "Since I moved to this salon! My other boss didn't mind, but Dave wasn't having any of it" Harry smiles at her "You know you are terribly sweet and soft! But it's also super adorable!" she rolled her eyes at him.
After Poppy told him five weeks ago about Laila's birthday, he confirmed it with Alec that it was in 6 weeks on 5th August. She will be 31, Rem had given him a few present ideas all of them, he knew she would gone nuts, it had to be something sentimental. It took him a few days, but he came up with the perfect gift for her.
~*~*~*~
A couple of days later
Harry stayed at Laila's for the night, as it was her birthday the next day. Her parents were having a do at theirs, they had invited Harry's family, but his parents were on holiday in Rome. Rose offered to for them to flight back, but Harry told them it was fine. Surprisingly Colin suggested they would take the couple out for a meal when they got back to have belated birthday celebrations.
Once Laila fell asleep, Harry managed to sneak down to his car and decorate the flat with balloons, party streamers and banners. He popped the flowers he had bought in a vase with her card, present and small birthday cake in front of the bouquet.
He crept back into bed.
The next morning he woke before her, she was laying on her side with her back towards him. He pulled her towards his chest, she began to stir, he had an idea. His lips kissed just below her ear, his hand slips into her underwear and moves to part her folds "Hmmm..." she hums. He brushes against her clit, her breathing becomes heavy.
His muscular frame surrounded her, he pulls the straps of her top down replacing them with kisses. He only has to stroke over her a couple times before her centre is soaked "Hmm....what a way to be woken up!" He smirks against her shoulder, his lips press against her ear "Happy birthday gorgeous!"
He places a small kiss against her pulse line as 2 fingers enter her, he watches her bite her lip, she pushes the curves of her arse against him and she begins to grind her curves against his crotch. He backs away "Ah ah! Today is about you!"
She huffs, he wants her just as much but today is about her. His pace quickens, her hand reaches up behind her and clutches his hair. She throbs with pleasure, a hot frenzy threads through her body to her core and as he enters another finger inside her while his thumb press onto her clit. Her eyes drift shut as she bucked her hips, legs begin to shake as he curled his long digit inside her and stroked all the right places.
She's barely holding back, the edge in near and she is more than ready to fall over it. Her clutch on his hair tightens as she hits her climax, calling out his name but before she's down from her high, he flips her onto her back, pulls off her underwear and his lips are against her apex. His tongue parts her fold "Harry, wha...what are you doing?" She feels him smirk against her core, he lifts his head a little to look up at her "Making you come in every way possible!" she doesn't get to reply before his mouth is back against her centre.
A little later
Both spent, trying to catch their breath, they collapse back against the mattress. Her head rests on his rising chest "That was one way to wake me up!" he chuckles "Get your pajamas on, I have another surprise for you," she reaches for her underwear and she grabs his t-shirt pulling over herself. "I'm going to have to cover your eyes for this part" He moves behind her, in just his boxers. His hands, cover her eyes, he guilds her into the living room he decorated the night before.
He removes his hands, her eyes refocus as she looks around the room "Wow! This is lovely!" she turns and captures his lips, he smirks "That's not all!" he points over to the dining room table, where her presents are. "You didn't have to get me anything!" he chuckles "I wanted to" she walks over and opens her card. The front reads *Happy birthday to my beautiful girlfriend*
"Open the smaller present first," he tells her, she opens the smaller one. It's a small compact mirror, she looks at him confused, he flips it over and in permanent marker it says *Your dare is to get a kiss from who you think is the most attractive person in the room* she laughs remembering this was his dare he had asked her to help him with at the stag weekend. She pulls his lips to hers, he smirks against them "At least this time you didn't tell me to kiss my own reflection" they both laugh.
"Open the other one!" she turns to the last present, she opens the box inside is a silver locket "Harry...It's...beautiful!" he smiles "Just like the one your Great Nan had?" she takes a closer look, its very simpler "It is!?" he smirks "After you told me how much you loved it. I asked Remy to get a photo of it from your parents, but that's not all look inside and check out the back of it" she flips it over.
Engraved on the back are the words and the date she asked him to be her boyfriend *I love you x 12/06/20* she opens it up and the photo is the one he took of them together on top o2 arena. She rushes him, her arms wrap round him "Thank you so much! Honestly the best present ever!" he's glad she likes it "You're welcome, I'm glad you like it. You go and get in the shower and I'll cook us up some breakfast" she places a soft kiss against his lips and makes her way towards the bedroom.
Her phone is vibrating against the bedside table, she swipes the screen, she laughs as she shook her head at her friends.
After her shower, Harry serves up her breakfast waffles and fruit, he even lights a candle on the birthday cake "What did you wish for?" he asks "A new boyfriend," she teases him, but soon regrets it when he begins to tickle her "Ahh!" she screams "What did you say, Laila?" he loves hearing her laugh "OK, I was joking! The only boyfriend I want is you" he stops "Good! The feeling is mutual, Princess"
Laila meets Nikki outside her work "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Nikki screeched at her before wrapping her arms around her friend, "Thank you! But I can't breathe" Nikki loosens her grip "What did Harry get you?" Laila lifts her locket to show her "Oh wow! Laila! That's gorgeous!" they head in for their appointment with Daniel.

Generator Rex - Rewrite!
So Iâve mentioned and drawn things tied to my rewrite of Generator Rex, made between me, my friend and brother. I thought Iâd give a basic timeline in what happens in this version through the notes I have, so feel free to read and see what we have to offer. I hope you enjoy what weâve made, and feel free to ask any questions because I have probably left out many things still. Warning, this does get quite long to read, so youâll need the time to do that, lol. I am also in the process of writing the Ben 10 Rewrite me and my brother wrote, though that is far longer so it will be a while for it come out, but let me know if you are interested in seeing it! đ
-History-
Prior-Nanite Event
Violeta, as a child, is adopted by Abuela, raised in the small village/family she looks over.
A young teenager Black Knight, back when she went by her real name Ebony Hale, lived with her single father, who she was close to. Unfortunately, during a break-in gone wrong, he is killed by a burglar. Sadly, not enough evidence was found to convince the suspected murder, despite Ebonyâs claims, mostly because of the corrupt and lazy criminal justice system. She is placed into foster care, and starts seeing all the dark sides to the world, due to troubling systems and powerful people, causing Ebony to grow this need for control and dreams of setting the world straight in her own ways.
Van Kleiss is kicked out of his home around when he turns 18, unable to live up to his parentsïżœïżœïżœ expectations, doing what he can to scrape by in life, taking odd jobs and even living out on the streets a few times. He has many failed friendships or relationships of any kind, and starts to distance himself with people because of this.
Ebony jumps around studies, learning things such as law, psychology, basically anything that ties into her goal of making the world what she thinks is best suited for it.
Violeta meets Rafael Salazar during her school studies at university, the two becoming friends and eventually sparking a romantic connection. Violeta is also introduced to Rafael's long time friend Gabriel Rylander.Â
A young Six is found and taken in by One, and begins his training with the other members.Â
Van Kleiss is involved in a horrific accident that takes his arm. But during his recovery with a prosthetic, he meets Cassandra who is his physiotherapist, who manages to build a connection with him, the two even eventually falling in love.
Early in their marriage, Rafael and Violeta have their first son, Caesar Salazar. It would be another 13 years before they have their next one, as the family gets busy with travelling due to all the job opportunities they get.
Plans of the nanite project slowly start to become something over time.
Rex Salazar is born during the time the family is staying around Switzerland. A few others like Noah are also born around this time or closely to this year, including Circe from both Van Kleiss and Cassandra.
At the young age of five, Rex and his family are brought onto the nanite project by the suggestion of Rylander.
Van Kleissâs wife, Cassandra, unfortunately, contracts an untreatable disease and passes away. This is the start of Van Kleiss building up his walls once more, but he tries to ignore his guilt and grief for the sake of himself and his daughter.Â
After doing his best to hold his life together and finishing up his schooling, Van Kleiss ends up joining the nanite project in honour of his wife. He has many strained relationships with his co-workers due to misguided judgement on both sides, even gaining quite the rivalry with Caesar. However, he and Circe end up befriending Rex, and Van Kleiss somehow ends up babysitting the two quite often.
Meanwhile, a young girl named Emiri (Breach), is adopted into a family, even gaining a younger sister named Mary.
New main nanites are made for the project. The first being the Alpha Nanite, which is the leading nanite that can control them all, used mostly to keep them under control or pass out orders or new updates. The other is the Omega, which can control a selected group of nanites that are nearby, but it is also the key to using the Alpha, as only those who have access to the Omega can have access to the Alpha. The Omega is mostly used for maintenance and testing, perhaps to select out nanites that need fixing or to make the Alpha do something.Â
Unfortunately, Rex and Circe sneak away at one point when Van Kleiss is distracted, keen to play hide and seek. Rex ends up finding himself in a nanite room with the Omega, and after messing around with his soccer ball, get caught in a lab accident. Heavy damage if done to his body, and the nanites in the room were broken out of containment and were altered by the lab damage in some ways, finding themselves in Rex. When the others finally got him out of the room and into the medical centre, a decision was made to keep the nanites in Rex, and have the Omega help in his recovery, making him the first patient to be using the nanites. He survives but with...unusual side effects, giving him technological powers that let him control tech around him, and even understand and talk to it, including the nanites. This also drives a wedge between the Salazars and Kleiss family, so whatever peaceful grounds were forming them are gone, even if Rex still tries to remain friends with Van Kleiss and Circe.
Eventually, a new member joins as an assistant, Ebony Hale. She mostly takes care of the minor things, and even ends up becoming the new person to watch over Rex, and the two do form a friendly dynamic with each other. However, what the scientists donât know is that Ebony is really a spy for the Consortium, their main benefactor, as they wanna keep an eye on how the project is going.
Rebecca Holiday, a young and wild college student, learns that her parents died in an accident, and ends up having to take care of her younger sister, while studying. She calms down in her wild ways, and pushes through so much for her sister and herself.Â
After a while, it is eventually figured out that one, there is a spy among them and they donât know who, and second, the Consortium actually plan to be in the ones in charge of the nanites, including the Omega and Alpha, as that would give them a lot of control over the world. Given they are greedy rich businessmen. With this learned, the series of events that lead to the nanite event begins to unfold.
Nanite Event
The scientist begins to debate what to do about the project. One section of the team suggests they simply destroy everything to do with the project, deeming it too dangerous for anyone like the Consortium to get their hands on, people like Peter Meechum and Rexâs parents agreeing to this. Another section of the team suggests finding away to remove the Consortium from the plan and get another benefactor, just being careful with the project as there is too much to just throw away, people like Rylander and Van Kleiss agreeing to this. And one other section of the team didnât really care if the Consortium did get their hands on it, as this was what they were paying to do, Caesar actually being in this group (He was often too absorbed in his work, which made him narrow-sighted unfortunately.). After much debate, it was eventually settled to just end the project.
However, Ebony caught wind of this, and informed the Consortium. Wanting to save the project, they hired arm soldiers to...clean up the members of the project, planning to replace them all with a new team eventually. But Ebony secretly did not agree with this, as she has been doing her best to play both sides, given she had her own plans for the nanite project. Plus, she will admit that she had formed some quite nice relationships with members of the project, so she ended up quietly tipping them off to the up-coming assault anonymously.Â
The day comes when chaos comes. Some members had already fled, like Rylander and Meechum, who wanted to find their families and vanish. The rest stayed behind to begin destroying all of their work, even Caesar who, while not agreeing with it, helped out in the end. But when armed soldiers started coming in, killing scientists, time was running out fast.Â
It became apparent they didnât have time to destroy the Alpha or the Omega, not with the resources they had. So a plan was devised that someone would take the Omega and flee, as without it the Alpha was mostly useless on its own. But the plan ended with giving Rex the Omega, as his connection to tech and the nanites meant he could hide it in him longer than anyone else could, and would head to the docking bay where Caesar would meet up with him to fly out. It was quite a harsh debate, wondering if it was a good idea to put Rex through this, even his parents hated to do this, but they couldnât risk letting the world being controlled by these people. Van Kleiss and Circe were originally going to accompany Rex to the docking bay, as they had been planning to up and leave too, but a surprise attack from the soldiers caused everyone to split, including Rex with the Omega.
Distressed from everything, Rex finds himself stumbling his way around, unable to focus properly due to everything going on around him, and the effects of the Omega being inside him. He does run into a group of soldiers at one point, but he is let go by them when Ebony appears. The soldiers knew she was the spy and working with them, so when she ordered them to just let the kid by, not knowing what he was hiding, they let Rex go. Ebony supposes she did owe Rex after everything going onâŠ
Van Kleiss and Rexâs parents get into an argument about all that happened, especially with how they involved Rex in everything and how this project went in the end. Van Kleiss leaves the room with his daughter, planning to run, when he is confronted by soldiers, who demand he open the door to where the Salazars were, or else they would kill him and his daughter. Van Kleiss ends up agreeing, despite how hard it was, and ends up letting them kill Rexâs parents as he tries to shelter Circe from everything.Â
Caesar finds his way to the docking bay where his ship/mobile lab is, but sees no signs of his little brother. He looks around and sees and hears everything the Consortium has done to his home, work, friends and family...It makes him feel guilty and hurt for being so narrow-sighted, for actually thinking it was ok to let these people have control over the times. He wants to go back in to find his family, his brother, but he realises that with everything going on, the lab is about to explode. Due to all the gunfire, violence, scientists messing with machines and computers, and even Rexâs stress affecting the Omega which affects the nanites around him, everything was about to burst. With a heavy heart, Caesar flies off just as the labs explode, creating the nanite event.Â
Some others managed to escape just before everything went off, including Ebony and some soldiers, but most others donât survive. However...some were protected by nanites that infected them, as they begin to spread across the globe. Rex also survives thanks to his nanites and the Omega, but all the trauma and stress results in him losing his memories, as he couldnât handle it, with the nanites wanting to erase it all as a means to âhelpâ Rex cope, in a wayâŠ
The mysterious nanite event in history has been marked downâŠ.
Post-Nanite Event
The entire world, of course, falls into a panic when people randomly begin turning into monsters after an unknown explosion occurred, the source of the mutations discovered to be tiny machines called nanites. Governments are quick to try and calm the public, and begin starting research on how to stop the nanites and cure those turning into creatures. But fear starts to take control of the world pretty quickly.
Broken from what happened, the small surviving members of the nanite project split off from each other. Peter Meechum returns to family life with his daughter, Rylander tries to confront the Consortium but ends up going on the run from them, having to abandoned his family to keep them safe, and Caesar goes into hiding, in despair over all that heâs lost, believing his parents and Rex to be dead. He isolates himself from the world, working on personal projects to distract himself over the years.Â
Meanwhile, in Abysus, Van Kleiss discovers his connection to the lands and learns what the nanites are doing to the world. After everything heâs gone through in life, he starts to grow this odd idea that this is the next step in humanity, that itâs time to start fresh and starts his plans on making the entire world creatures like him. Slowly, he builds Abysus into a haven for those who have turned and are still sane, or are sane enough, Abysus turning into this strange yet beautiful overgrown jungle-like place. Circe stands by her fatherâs side, as heâs all she has left, even if, at times she grows doubtful of who her father is becoming.
Rex, however, wanders out of Abysus sometime after the nanite event, with no memories of what happened. He blacks in and out for the first few weeks, losing his memories over and over again due to the trauma of everything, his body and mind weak but slowly start to recover. But, every time heâs evolved in something highly dangerous he canât handle, or is close to death, his nanites kick in and take control, kicking him alive until they find somewhere safe to change him back, but this results in him losing his memories again. The Omega, still inside him, slowly begins to evolve and connect with Rex in a deep way that does not notice for a long while, unaware of whatâs inside him.
After a few months, Rex somehow finds himself in Hong Kong, first meeting and befriending Tuck. Tuck used to live with his father in an auto shop, but after some bad run-ins with some gangs, his father is killed and Tucks ran out onto the streets, eventually turning EVO. The two of them are picked up by Quarry, who has been making EVO gangs and sees potential in the two, especially Rex. Their team begins to grow when running into âChen Tsuiâ, who they end up calling Cricket. She uses to be from quite a rich family, that sadly had high expectations for their image, and kicked Cricket out of their home when she turned EVO. Then they run into John Scarecrow, who had quite the sucky life before due to neglectful parents and bullying issues, and eventually ran away from home before turning EVO. Rex and Scarecrow end up butting heads alot. Finally, their last member is Walter Martin, who ends up getting the nickname Skywdd. His parents died when he was very young, and so he was raised by his loving grandmother, even when he turned EVO. However, she passed away one night and while Skywdd called to have the body removed and buried properly, he ran before anyone came as he knew him being EVO would cause problems. The five of them become quite the trouble-making team.
Meanwhile, Emiriâs family undergo many issues when their hometown is invaded by EVOs, the main one being an overgrowth of plants. Sadly, her adopted parents are killed, while she ends up turning EVO, her mind and memory becoming iffy, broken, now having powerful portal powers. She and her adopted sister, Mary, end up fleeing and have to survive on their own, Emiri soon going by the name Breach due to not properly remembering who she once was.
Governments around the world begin to put money towards creating a group called Providence, an anti-EVO force that not only removes and capture dangerous EVOs, but also research on finding a cure. The Consortium become key benefactors towards Providence, with no one knowing their true involvement with the nanites past.Â
After her sister turns EVO, Holiday convinces them not to kill Beverly by helping and working at Providence, eventually working her way up to become the assistant to their leading scientist Doctor Fell, even if she doesnât agree to their methods of research.
After some time, Rex starts to drift from his friends in Hong Kong, feeling this longing to be somewhere, to find out who he really is. He tosses around the idea, but after finding some clues that point him in the direction of America, Rex decides to hand over his leadership to Quarry. He hates to leave his friends behind, but due to some emotional manipulation from Quarry and Scarecrow, Rex truly believed it was the best thing for his friends, and that Quarry would protect them. But after he vanishes, Scarecrow pretends to be him for a voice recording, planning to blackmail him if he were to ever return.
The Sixâs mostly tried not to get involved with the whole world burning due to the nanite event, but things take a turn when One turns EVO. The group splits, either continuing their mercenary lives, or to find One help. Six ends up joining Providence, after his old friend, Robinson White, convinces him to join the cause, especially when he mentions theyâre looking for a cause. Six used to be one who didnât care much about the life of others, he will admit, but after what happened to one and now actively helping people around the world...he does start to question how this war is affecting people, especially with them killing EVOs who use to be normal people.
While working at Providence, he ends up running into Holiday fairly soon. She catches his interest due to her speaking up about finding another way to look for a cure, even if Dr.Fell and White put her down. Six ends up agreeing with her, to her surprise, and a silent partnership begins to form between the two as they make plans to try something new. They just need something to work in their favourâŠ
Then, one day, they are called to flush out a bunch of EVOs in a ruined city. Things are going normal for them, as normal as they can be, when reports of a mechanical EVO is seen running around, something that looks like a person wearing a parasitic robotic suit. Wild and dangerous. When the EVO shows itself, Holiday and Six are quick to realise that underneath the mutations, there is a young boy. They urge Providence not to attack him, but a twitchy soldier causes a fight to break out and the group is forced to split, with Six guiding Holiday away from the fight. But the two end up running into the strange tech EVO, though after some peaceful gestures, they actually get him to calm down, only for him to turn back into a young boy. Confused of course, they decide to try and take him back to Providence, only for them to learn three things. One, he has no memories beyond knowing his name, second, he is still EVO, and third, he can cure EVOs after saving Six from one.
Holiday and Six decide to keep him a secret for now, not trusting White and Dr.Fell with Rex. They plan to later move him somewhere safe, and for the next few days do their best to hide what Rex is, using the excuse of Holiday looking after him until he can maybe recover some memories.
Rex becomes a bit of a handful, due to his powers sometimes affecting the tech around him, befriending an EVO chimp called Bobo, and even getting scared when learning that Dr.Fell dissects and kills EVOs. However, despite how hard they tried, White does eventually learn what Rex is. White and Fell try to do to Rex what theyâve done to all the other EVOs, but a fight breaks out between them with Six and Holiday. After a brutal fight, it ends with White saving Six, him getting bleached with Nanites, but narrowly saved by Rex.
With the discovery of Rex becoming more open to their benefactors and governments, things change up in Providence. Holiday becomes the new leading scientist, Six becomes Rexâs mentor and partner, Dr.Fell is fired and White becomes the new leader of Providence due to being the one person who canât turn EVO, now going by the name White Knight.
Meanwhile, the Consortium, knowing Rexâs old ties to the nanite event and where Providence is heading, decide to call in their old Spy, Ebony, to join Providence to keep an eye on things in the background. She agrees, them not knowing that she too is making her own plans when see where Providence is going.
Meanwhile, Abysus has grown to be quite the EVO community, many EVOs seeking refuge with Van Kleiss after he offered them shelter. His main group by his side is called The Pack, which consists of him, Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach and his daughter Circe. And yet, despite how pleased he is seeing his Kingdom grow, seeing the good he has provided for the outcasts like him, he still acts distant, not wanting to build up any more personal connections due to his bad history with them...Circe being the only person close enough to him, and yet even that is cracking.Â
Found at the age 13, Rex begins to train for the next 3 years in secret from the public eye, becoming Providenceâs secret weapon.
-Generator Rex Series-
Season 1
After training for 3 years, Rex ends up introducing himself to the world after a quite large EVO invades a town. Word spreads quickly through the media when learning what Providence has been hiding, and the reception is quite mixed. Some finally glad there is a somewhat cure and help, some terrified for hating the idea of having an EVO help, some thinking this will go down hill quickly, and some merely standing by to see what will happen.Â
Rex has, unfortunately, become a bit of a rebel, as he is tired for hiding away all the time, curious about teenage life styles and wanting to feel more human. He does, after all, want to learn about his past and who he is. This results in him wandering off after a mission at one point, and running into a boy named Noah Nixon, the two bonding over some basketball, mostly because Noah didnât know who Rex really was. Not until Six came to pick him up. However, this does cause White to take notice of Noah, seeing how he managed to get Rex to stay still for once, and reaches out an offer to help keep Rex in line, saying Noah will receive payment and help in the war. Noah ends up agreeing.
Word reaches out to Van Kleiss eventually, and he is surprised to learn that Rex is alive. He decides quickly that it would be a good idea to get Rex to join Abysus, as not only is he an EVO like them that suffers from negative gazes and comments from the general public, but also because he would be useful due to his EVO powers, Van Kleiss knowing he has the Omega in him. But there are hints that a part of Van Kleiss may or may not still care about Rex, but he mostly denies this. Other EVOs in Abysus are also eager to have him join, wanting to welcome their new members. So The Pack, minus Circe, does eventually snatch him away and offer him a chance to join Abysus, and Rex does get tempted, especially when Van Kleiss reveals he knows who Rex once was, but turns away when learning that Van Kleiss wishes to turn everyone EVO and fleds. Van Kleiss realises heâs gonna have to start pushing it if heâs going to get Rex to join.
However, a lot of what Van Kleiss and the other EVOs said does get to Rex, who starts butting heads with Providence more, especially after learning that his friend, Noah, was a spy for them all this time. While he and Noah do make up eventually, itâll take some time before Rex starts to trust Providence again, especially with him and White often arguing at each other. Really, itâs mostly thanks to Six and Holiday that Rex hasnât up and ditched Providence yet.
Circe does eventually run into Rex again, flabbergasted by the fact her childhood best friend his alive, and does yell at her father for not saying anything sooner. However, he convinces her to not tell Rex anything about the past, telling her they need him on their side and they must do what they can, even if they have to be harsh about it. Still caring for her father, and not having a backbone for herself, she does agree to help with him, often trying to convince Rex to join as she does feel like the world is unfair to EVOs like him, her and the others, but Rex often pulls away from her and instead tries to convince her to leave Abysus, noting that while Van Kleiss may think heâs doing the right thing, heâs clearly pushing everyone away out of fear, including his own daughter.
Rex also develops a secret friendship with Breach, after some mishaps of her kidnapping him, then the two of them saving each other at separate times, and Rex connecting with her when seeing there is more to Breach than a broken person.
Still being a spy unknown to Providence, Ebony starts pulling her strings her own way in secret, even anonymously reaching out to Van Kleiss to be a spy for him, doing her best to play all sides.Â
Rex runs into his old Hong Kong friends, reconnecting with them and trying to help them deal with Quarry. There is an issue that splits him and the others when Quarry tells them Rex was the one to ditch, along with playing the voice recording. But Rex eventually comes back to help them, while also learning that Scarecrow tried setting him up, mostly because Scarecrow thought it was unfair that Rex gets to forget everything bad heâs done or gone through, and gets to ditch everyone behind to get what he wants. Eventually, Quarry is captured, while Scarecrow runs off, and Rex and his friends reconnecting once more.
Eventually, Rylander is found, still having been running from the Consortium all this time. However, heâs not quite himself, under a lot of stress after what happened, and doesnât tell much to Rex before heâs killed by mistake during a brief scuffle with Van Kleiss. However, Rex does know that he does have family out there, even a brother.
Eventually, Van Kleiss does strike Providence directly, and manages to swipe many of Rexâs own nanites, that not only improve his powers and keep his nanites stable, no longer dying when out of Abysus, but he also gains the power to turn people EVO. However, something happens to Rex with his small amount of remaining nanites, as if heâs body is under some kind of stress. Itâs revealed that the Omega is inside him, and has upgraded his powers to defend him and fill him back up with his nanites, helping him win the day. Though Providence does need to go under some repairs.Â
Season 2
Rex has become quite well-known by now, his public image not so great due to peopleâs fears towards EVOs, and people like Hunter Cain causing some uprising. So whenever Rex does hang out with Noah, he wears a âcivilianâ outfit that Noah, Claire and Annie picked out for him.Â
Meanwhile, Caesar, who has still been in hiding to this day, finally catches wind that his brother is alive, along with the Omega still being with him (Caesar hadnât really been paying much attention to the news up until now.). He runs into Providence, finds his brother, and does try to leave, though Rex convinces him to just stay at Providence. Rex is excited to finally have family back and some connection to his past but...his brother wasnât exactly what he was expecting, as Caesar, as much as his loves his family, does seem to often put his work first without realising it, and is more keen to create something to prove he can do it, rather than how it can benefit people or the consequences of it. But, he does try to connect with his little brother, even if itâs hard for the both of them.Â
Rexâs EVOs powers start to develop more, in a noticeable way. Not only is he getting new builds, but his connection to nanites and tech become something more, even starting to get strange dreams from the nanites, as if theyâre trying to warn him or tell him something. He is mostly use to this way of life, though it is strange for an outsider to see.
With Caesar back, Rex starts to get hints about the past, and not the good parts of it. This mostly comes from Caesarâs one off comments, but heâs mostly keeping things a secret for some reason, while Van Kleiss gives him hints and clues, even stating things for Rex that what happened in the past wasnât happy, and that Rexâs dreams to have the family he wished for isnât going to be what he wanted, especially since Caesar struggles with connecting and family life. It seems Caesar doesnât want to tell Rex much, for fear of them growing more distant if Rex were to learn the truth about how distant and busy their family used to be in the past, especially between the two brothers, and exactly what went down to create the nanite event.Â
Tired of waiting, Rex does start to call out people like Caesar and Van Kleiss here and there more often than he did before, and even starts snooping at times to find his own answers, but he doesnât seem to dig up much.
Eventually, things come to a head between Providence and Abysus when Rex finally convinces Breach to leave the Pack, after seeing how harsher Van Kleiss has become, the man getting frustrated that things arenât working out (Along with secretly trying harder to push away people he starting to get attached too). After a fight, including a point where Breach snaps and her powers go highwire, Rex manages to calm her and eventually Van Kleiss gives up and lets her go, calling her a traitor, becoming more aggressive due to his lack of control, along with parts of him not wanting to let go.Â
Circe follows soon after, finally unable to take anymore of what her father is doing, leaving her for own sake, even if itâs hard for the both of them. Rex does his best to support her, and eventually takes her to live with the Hong Kong Gang, knowing they can help her and give her a home she deserves.Â
After losing two key members of his team, Van Kleiss ends up recruiting Scarecrow to join The Pack, using the manâs shapeshifting ability to help him out many times. Van Kleiss is also becoming more desperate to reach his goal, becoming more snappy towards everyone, especially to those who try to reach out. Rex does call him out on this many times, but Van Kleiss just pushes him away in the end.
Eventually, Van Kleiss decides to take proper action, heading to purgatory, where Rex normally offloads his nanites. He activates them and plans to create another nanite event, one that will turn the majority of the world in EVOs this time, given there arenât enough nanites there to change the entire world, but he was planning to deal with the rest later. The Pack and Abysus members protect him as he begins his plans, and by the time Providence can reach him, heâs already started the meltdown that canât be stopped. But Rex decides to try something, planning to enter Purgatory and connect with the shield system, going to make it cover the entire building to contain the explosion, and hopefully if his nanites protect him, he will then proceed to shut down every single nanite that is let loss in the shield, even if it takes him weeks, months of even years to do stop, maybe even dying in the process. Of course, everyone tries to change his mind, not wanting to lose him, but they know it might be the only way. Rex does succeed in stopping another nanite event from happening, trapping him, the nanites and Van Kleiss, as he begins to shut down each nanite.
Season 3
Six months end up going by when Rex finally finishes, shutting down the shield with no more wild active nanites that could cause any harm to be set onto the world. He is quickly greeted by Providence soldiers who had been waiting at the sight, taking him and Van Kleiss to Providence. Van Kleiss is taken somewhere else, while Rex is taken to White Knightâs room, learning how long heâs been gone. However, he learns that someone else is in charge now, Ebony Hale, who now goes by Black Knight, who happily greets Rex back to Providence. There she explains that White Knight went rogue, while people like Six and Holiday left after losing Rex, and they donât know where theyâve gone. Caesar and seemingly Bobo are still around, and Black Knight convinces Rex to take his old job back.
While working at the new Providence, Rex starts to learn a few things, including a little more about the original nanite project. Black Knight even shows him something they found while he was away, the Alpha nanite, which had been damaged during the nanite event, sending out signals that were causing the random mutations. It is in the process of being repaired, but they need the Omega to finally stop the mutation order and fix it completely soon. Something feels off to Rex, and he assumes right when Black Knight and Caesar suddenly turn on him, saying they just want to remove the Omega from him, but Rex doesnât trust them, knowing something is wrong. A scuffle breaks out, and when Rex is knocked out, he is unknowingly saved by Six and Holiday, learning also that the Bobo at Providence is a fake and spy for them.Â
Six, Holiday, Bobo and White update Rex on a few things that happened. They explained to him that the Consortium took control of Providence, claiming they failed too many times, putting Black Knight in charge. However, they learn what theyâre really after is full control over the Alpha and all nanites in the world, and there are rumors of a project called âThe Meta Nanitesâ going around, though they donât exactly know what they are. For now, Rex finds that him and his group have to be on the run and in hiding for a while now. He also learns that Providence is now mind controlling EVOs, presenting it as something good to the public, when really itâs something horrible in reality, hunting down any and all EVOs they find.Â
Rex starts running into old friends and people, learning how things have changed. Circe and the Hong Kong Gang are on the run from Providence. Noah has to be careful as Black Knight knows of his connection towards Rex. Abysus is now run by Biowulf, who still had faith in what Van Kleiss built for them. Members of the old nanite project are being tracked down, along with any blueprints and info that could help fix the Alpha. Breach hopping around the place, helping EVOs get to Abysus where they can be safe from Providence. All a mess really, with Rex being the centre of it all due to him having the Omega.
Tensions are high between Rex and Caesar, as Rex is convinced that Caesar is helping them because he wants too, like in the past where he didnât really care who had the nanites as long as he got to do the project. Caesar tries to explain things, but is still distance and lying, not telling the whole truth still.
Meanwhile, Van Kleiss refuses to help Black Knight or the Consortium, but after the fight in Abysus, they catch Circe, and use her as leverage to get Van Kleiss to help.
There is a brief time where Providence catches Rex, having Caesar make the Omega talk to them through Rex, planning to remove it from him with simple voice commands. But to everyoneâs surprise the Omega has evolved quite a bit since they last saw it, the piece of tech deeply connected to Rex to the point it seems to only follow his command, wishing to protect âThe Catalystâ, and is unable to be controlled by any member of the original project, taking control of Rex and helping him escape (With subtle help from both Van Kleiss and Rylander).Â
The Consortium starts getting more involved personally, much to Black Knight's annoyance, but she still puts on a front to keep playing them and everyone else.
Eventually it is discovered that The Meta Nanite project is really just creating five different Omegas, so that each Consortium member can have one to control the Alpha and all nanites in the world. This is the main reason they keep trying to take the Omega from Rex, in hopes to clone it.Â
After a partially bad battle, the Consortium and Black Knight eventually confront Rex, pushing him too far physically and emotionally which results in Rex accidently turning them EVO. The Consortium turned into a hybrid monster and Black Knight turning into an EVO that can turn solid and into a liquid form. Narrowly, Rex manages to escape, while Black Knight gets the Consortium under control, âpromisingâ them that they can be cured eventually.Â
Things reach to a head when the final battle takes place, everyone aiming to get to the Alpha and taking the Omega first. Unfortunately, Black Knight and Consortiumâs new forms provide an issue, especially when they also used mind control EVOs. However, Caesar ends up mildly sabotaging them, managing to free half of the EVOs before he is caught by Black Knight. He reveals heâs been playing them, as there was no way he was actually planning on helping the people who killed his family. Black Knight too reveals that she doesnât want to help them either, instead was helping herself the entire time, and takes control of the operation and throws Caesar away.
Because half of the EVOs were freed, Van Kleiss joins the battle with any members of Abysus around, still wanting to create the EVO paradise they all wish for. This results in the fight being four ways, Abysusâs side, Providenceâs side, the Consortium Side, and Black Knightâs side. Rex is caught in the middle of it, but after much growth with his nanites, he allows himself to go full EVO, even at risk of losing all his memories. The fight reaches the point where Rex, Black Knight, Van Kleiss, White Knight and the Consortium reaching the Alpha, all of them realising that Rex has full control of the situation and itâs his choice to make, each leader prompting him to follow their goals. After a long debate, Rex reaches for the Alpha and fixes it, now able to take full command over all nanites in the world. But instead of curing everything, turning everything, or mind controlling everyone, he merely stops the process of any new mutations from happening, though does cure people like Black Knight and the Consortium so they donât become a problem again. Rex knows that he canât make a sudden massive decision that will do something bad to the world, even curing it would create unwanted side effects. Instead, he wants to take the time to use the Alpha to cure/fix what needs to be fixed, but in a safe and slow manner. After all, what the nanites did to the world is not going to be an easy fix, and sadly some things are going to stay.
Black Knight and the Consortium are arrested, while Van Kleiss and members of Abysus flee back home, needing to make plans but...maybe willing to listen if Providence wants to make a deal. The Alpha is handed to Providence, with White Knight taking back charge, and begin making plans on how to set the world back to normal, or as normal as it can be, Rex still being the one to hold the Omega and able to control the Alpha.Â
While not perfect, Caesar and Rex begin to try and patch things up, deciding it might be time to actually start being a family, though with people like Six, Holiday and Bobo also involved (And Six and Holiday would totally be dating at this point).Â
Rex also reaches out to Van Kleiss, with the help of Circe who wants to reconnect with her dad, and while things arenât good between any of them, there are hints it could be better in the future.

âł summary: you hate that your mind stays wrapped around a lover who doesnât love you.
A/N: And weâre back w this fic! Iâm actually super excited to have this finished. I hope yâall enjoy pt. 2 as much as you enjoyed pt. 1! Title once again is from âDonât Wanna Fall In Loveâ by KYLE. As always feel free to leave comments and/or feedback. My ask box is always open :)
Part One
Yeonjunâs hand presses firmly into your thigh, keeping it hitched around his waist. His other arm is propped near your head, caging you in between him and the bed. His bicep bulges with the effort of keeping himself up, but he doesnât pay it any mind.
A warm forehead is pressed against yours, the sweat from both of your bodies mingling on your faces. At this point thereâs no more kisses, just bites and whines crossing the small space in between your bodies.
Yeonjun releases a groan, his hips stuttering against yours when you clench around him. He sneaks a hand between your bodies, rubbing slow circles on your sex that have your eyes rolling back. After this much time together, he knows exactly how to bring you to your release, every single time.
You tip over the edge with a shout of Yeonjunâs name, subsequently bringing him over the edge as well. He groans deeply into your mouth, capturing your lips in a bruising kiss. He doesnât pull away until youâve both come down from your highs.Â
Instead of pulling out, Yeonjun stills inside you, forehead still pressed against yours. Heâs searching your gaze, his own eyes glassy. The hand that rested on your core traces a path up the side of your body, smoothing over your every curve.Â
âIâm going to miss this,â he whispers, as if afraid to scare you off. I love you.
Your heart crumbles to dust inside your rib cage.Â
âIâm going to miss this too.â You canât help the slight crack in your voice. I love you too.
Itâs then that Yeonjun pulls out, going through the motions of cleaning you both up as much as possible. When he finally settles back into bed with you, your eyes are drifting shut. Yeonjun just chuckles, pulling you into his chest and placing a sickeningly tender kiss on your temple.Â
.    .    .
That was the last time you saw Choi Yeonjun before winter break, and you tell yourself itâs for the better.Â
You had told yourself that you were just going over to his dorm to say goodbye, maybe give him a hug. But like always, Yeonjun was irresistible. All he had to do was flash the smirk and you were putty in his hands.Â
Just the way he liked it.Â
Now you just stare at the ceiling of your childhood bedroom, wondering how Yeonjun has managed to plague your thoughts even now. He lingers around your thoughts like a morning fog, unable to be cleared up, no matter the amount of sunshine.Â
It scares you. But more than that, it hurts. It hurts that you wonât see him for a whole month. It hurts that your mind is so wrapped around someone who isnât even sparing you a single thought. It hurts that your mind is wrapped around a lover who doesnât love you. Â
Before you had met Yeonjun, you were looking forward to winter break. You were looking forward to being with your family and celebrating the winter holidays. You loved the cold weather contrasted by the warmth of the fireplace and family laughter.Â
Now that Yeonjunâs in the picture, everything feels too warm and all too cold at the same time. You want nothing more to get back to campus and be in his dorm again. Your sheets feel like sandpaper on your skin where his sheets feel like silk. Your comforter doesnât smell like him. Your ceiling doesnât have those hairline cracks like his does.Â
God, heâs not even your boyfriend.Â
You try whispering the word out into the emptiness of your bedroom. Boyfriend. It dies on your tongue. Boyfriend. It tastes too bitter. Boyfriend. It doesnât feel real.Â
Because it isnât real. You hate that you have to keep reminding yourself of it, but at the very least it keeps you humble. Yeonjun isnât your boyfriend. Heâs your friend, you guess. Heâs someone who you work with and see around on campus and have sex with sometimes. Bile rises in your throat, leaving a nasty taste in your mouth.Â
You donât have time to feel sorry for yourself, seeing as your dadâs voice rings out throughout the house. Heâs calling you for dinner, but youâre not hungry. As much as you want to stay in bed, though, you force yourself to your feet.Â
If you canât be with the one you want to be with, you might as well drown yourself in family. Hopefully, it will make you forget.Â
But of course, it doesnât.
The days pass excruciatingly slowly, no matter how packed they are. Every family dinner begins to blend together in a whirlwind of too much food and forced laughter. You feel bad, because your family deserves more from you, but you just canât bring yourself to move past the ache in the center of your chest.
You ring in the New Year staring at your phone, hoping for a text, a snapchat, something. Itâs pitiful. Your family counts down with the Ball dropping, yelling and cheering as the New Year arrives. You just sigh before cheering along with your family. By the end of the night, you have a headache.
Yeonjun posts on instagram on January 5th, a week before you return back to campus. Itâs a selfie, with him and another boy, both smiling too widely at the camera. The boy is gorgeous, you have to admit, with round eyes, a sharp nose, and full lips. But what takes you by surprise is how happy Yeonjun looks.
âMissed my bb Gyu,â the caption reads.
Your phone ends up on the floor while you end up face down in your bed, groaning deeply. Even with your eyes closed, you see green. Of course Yeonjun is doing fine. Why wouldnât he be?
Why arenât you?
.    .    .
It takes all of your reserve not to go straight to Yeonjunâs dorm when you arrive back on campus. Instead you calmly return to your own, taking your time unpacking as a means of distracting yourself. Itâs still over all too quickly, and you find yourself checking your phone nervously. You only have one unread message, but it makes your stomach drop anyways.
âYou back on campus?â
Within a minute, you have your coat and shoes on, checking if you have your dorm key before heading out the door.
Yeonjunâs room is just like how you left it, and you donât know why you expected it to change in the month youâve been gone. You donât have much time to register any differences before Yeonjun is sweeping you into a deep kiss, pressing your back into the door. You canât help but smile at Yeonjunâs eagerness, relieved that youâve been wanted, at least in some way, over the past month.
Almost no words are exchanged as the two of you go through the motions. You speak with your bodies instead. You dig your nails into his back, hard. I missed you. Yeonjun bruises your hips with the force of his grip. I missed you, too.
Your climax has you seeing white, static filling your ears. Yeonjun seems to go through the same, clutching your body close, nothing but heavy pants leaving his mouth. Itâs not until afterwards, when youâre pulling your clothes back on, when Yeonjun decides to speak.
âIt was weird,â he begins. âNot seeing you for so long.â
You chuckle bitterly. âIâm sure you had plenty of opportunities to get your dick wet while you were home.â
âI did.â And there goes the smirk. âBut thatâs not what I meant.â
You just roll your eyes, sure that heâs unable to see you. You try to tie your shoes quickly, needing to leave, but not really knowing why. The coat you had on when you came in is lost somewhere on the other side of the room, and you rush to look for it.
âDude, why are you in such a rush?â Yeonjun questions from his position on the bed.
âYou did not just call me âdudeâ after we just fucked.â
Thereâs your coat. You pull it over your shoulders, not caring about how hot it suddenly makes you.
âIâm sorry,â Yeonjunâs eyebrows hold a deep furrow. âItâs just...youâre being weird. Youâre normally not so quick to leave. Plus, I havenât seen you in forever. Donât you want to stay?â
You just shake your head, hand already on the door handle. âNo, itâs okay. I just have an early class tomorrow. But Iâll see you at work, okay?â
Yeonjun nods slowly, but you donât stay long enough to see it. He sighs when you practically slam the door behind you. Then it hits him, like a bullet through his right lung.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
.    .    .
One thing youâre actually excited about is getting back to your research position. You missed the warmth of the nursing home, the busy days, your patients. As annoying as you found the job in the beginning, you have grown to love it. You just resent the fact that so much of that has to do with Yeonjun.
Soobin is the first to greet you on the Monday afternoon of your return. He pulls you into a bear hug, almost knocking you over with his weight. Hyunjin does the same, albeit much more gently, before asking you a slew of questions about your winter break. Both of them listen intensely as you tell white lies about the amount of fun you had.
Hyunjin brags about the amount of choreography he made over the break, while Soobin recounts all of the interesting places he napped. You just roll your eyes, perplexed about how these two could ever be friends.
Before you know it, itâs 10 minutes to your first interview of the day, and youâre quickly excusing yourself. You scramble to the breakroom, aiming to put the snack that you brought into the refrigerator. The breakroom is more lively than usual, filled with volunteers catching up with each other before their official shifts start at 1pm. The sheer amount of mint scrubs in one place is enough to have you uneasy, but when you catch a pair of familiar eyes, your stomach flutters. Â
Yeonjun shoots you a soft smile, accompanied with a wave. His hair is shaggy and soft, ears void of any piercings, and no colored contacts to alter his appearance. He looks so incredibly soft, and you hate him for it. You hate how effortly beautiful he is. You hate how itâs his effortless beauty that made you fall for him.
You wave back, placing your lunchbox in the refrigerator. Yeonjunâs eyes follow you around the room until you leave, headed to your office. Once you leave the room, he sighs, turning back to Yeji and Changbin to listen to their stories.
Inside your office, your heart threatens to leap out of your chest. Every surface is tainted with memories of Yeonjun. Itâs not suffocating, but still omnipresent. The remnants of him linger like an itch under your skin, a constant reminder of your biggest problem at the moment.
Youâre able to disregard it, though, once you begin your actual work. The interviews fly by in a flurry of misunderstandings and patients dozing off, but by the time itâs all over, you have a smile on your face. Seeing the residents of the home is easily your favorite part of the job, making you never want to leave when youâre supposed to.
At around 6:30, however, you choose to head back to your dorm, needing to complete some homework for your classes the following day. You gather up your belongings in your office before heading out. You stop in your tracks, however, when you see a figure leaning against the wall adjacent to your office door.
âYeonjun?â
The boy looks disheveled, like he always does after a shift. His hair is now a tad frizzy, name tag askew. You would chuckle, if not for the look in his eyes.
âDo you have a moment?â He questions. âI think we should talk a little.â
For a moment, youâre quiet, not knowing if youâre ready to have whatever conversation that Yeonjun has planned. But you eventually nod, opening your office door further to let the boy in.
He makes himself comfortable on one of the small armchairs in the corner of the room, leaving you no choice but to sit opposite him. While you slip off your coat, he leans forward, propping his elbows on his knees before sighing deeply. Heâs nervous. The realization alone has you shifting uncomfortably in your seat.
âAre we, like,â Yeonjun swallows thickly. âAre we okay? Ever since break, youâve been weird.â
You scoff. âYouâve only seen me once since break. How would you know Iâve been weird?â
âOnly seeing you once in a week and a half is weird. Did something happen?â
Yeonjunâs eyes are clouded over when he looks at you, a contrast to the sharp, piercing gaze he normally has on you. You hate that he looks so closed, especially here. He is always soft and open in the nursing home, and you hate that you have ruined that for him.
âNothing happened, Yeonjun. Iâve just been busy.â
âBut this is your first day back at work!â Â
You can tell Yeonjun doesnât mean to raise his voice, but it escapes him anyways. As soon as he realizes, he runs a hand through his hair, letting out a frustrated groan. Your heart swoops at the way a few strands of hair stick out at odd angles.Â
âIâm sorry,â he apologizes. âI didnât come here to yell at you. Iâm just...worried, I guess. It almost feels like youâve been avoiding me.â
âI clearly havenât been avoiding you if we had sex the day we both got back to campus.â
Yeonjun rolls his eyes. âThat wasnât what I meant, and you know it.â
You simultaneously cross your arms across your chest as you cross your legs. âI donât know, Yeonjun. I donât know what youâre talking about. We started all of this to just have fun. Are you saying youâre not having fun anymore?â
Yeonjunâs jaw drops in disbelief. âIs that seriously what this still is to you? Just having fun?â
You furrow your eyebrows, not understanding what the boy across from you is getting at. It doesnât sound like the Yeonjun you know. The Yeonjun you know would run the opposite way of something more. He wouldnât complain about not seeing a hook up after a while. He would just move on to the next one.
So youâre confused why this Yeonjun sounds so hung up. Why is this Yeonjun so hurt?
âWhy wouldnât it be?â
You find yourself reaching to take back the words the minute they leave your mouth, but your efforts are futile. Yeonjun just stares at you. While his eyes were once clouded over, now they are icy. His stare holds an astounding clarity, causing a shiver to run up your spine.
âYouâre right,â Yeonjun bites out. âIt shouldnât be anything more. Letâs just stick to having fun. Thatâs what we do best, right?â
You donât get a chance to redeem yourself before the boy is standing, swiftly exiting your office, and shutting the door harshly behind himself. Instantly, you deflate.
What the hell just happened?
.    .    .
The next time you see Yeonjun, heâs littered with hickies. None of them were left by you.
Yeonjun leaves the first party of the semester with a busty girl named Eunha, not even sparing you a glance on his way out.
You see Yeonjun flirting with a boy in the library a few days later. He never meets your eyes, even when he catches you staring.
Yeonjun barely greets you when he sees you in the nursing home. He just gives you a small nod, one that passes for cordiality, but you know heâs being stiff.
Yeonjun never comes to remind you that your shift is over, or that you havenât eaten. You find yourself routinely missing dinner as a result.
.    .    .
Three weeks after your last conversation with Yeonjun, the nursing home is decorated with warm shades of red and pink to commemorate the upcoming Valentineâs Day. Itâs a little overkill, the way they ask you to put up a string of origami hearts on your office door. Even the volunteers have begun to put heart stickers on their nametags.
Mint green and red is a terrible color combination.
Honestly, the whole ordeal makes you a bit queasy. Thereâs something so off-putting about having to celebrate a holiday when you feel like utter shit. Itâs even worse to celebrate a holiday of love when your feelings are a mess--an unfixable mess, at that.
When you check out at the end of your shift on an odd Wednesday, Soobin cocks his head cutely, making the heart headband he wears shift slightly.
âYouâre leaving pretty early today,â he comments. âEverything alright?â
You sigh, not even knowing where to begin. âIâm just really tired.â
Soobin nods, eyes flickering between you and the computer screen in front of him. The checkout process is always more complicated than it needs to be, and you find yourself leaning against the front desk in the meantime.
Soobin begins to say something, but is cut off when a figure sidles up next to you. A quick glance in your peripheral vision has you knowing exactly who it is, and you resent the fact that Hyunjin went home early. Â
âHey Yeonjun,â Soobin beams. âDo you need to be checked out too?â
âI can wait. You can finish up with Y/N first.â
Yeonjunâs voice sounds smaller than usual. It has a soft rasp to it, a result of evident exhaustion. Even though you donât let yourself look, you know Yeonjunâs hair is frizzy. You wonder if his name tag is upside down like it usually is at this time.
Itâs impossible not to be hyper aware of his presence. The slight heat he radiates from his body is comforting, felt every time his shoulder ever-so-slightly brushes against yours. It would be so easy for him to slide an arm around your waist. It would be easy for him to touch you ever so slightly. It would be easy for him to whisper in your ear and tell you that he misses you.
But he doesnât.
You want to initiate it, to be the first to look, touch, talk, but something holds you back. Itâs evident that youâre the last of Yeonjunâs concerns, so maybe you should just let it go. Maybe you should just hold your head up high and try your hardest not to cross paths with him again. But something is wrong with that. Something feels so wrong about letting go.
âAlright, Y/N,â Soobinâs voice rings out. âYouâre all set. See you tomorrow.â
You smile, albeit a little forced, while waving to the boy behind the desk. You donât spare a glance to the figure on your right before exiting the nursing home.
Itâs only when you feel the cold air on your face do you let out the breath you didnât know you were holding. You find yourself breathing deeply, attempting to calm yourself, but itâs no use. Tears quickly form in your eyes, welling up until they overflow with the slight breath of wind.
You keep moving, though, walking to the bus stop with tears flowing down your cheeks. You know that you must look like a mess, hyperventilating as you walk, with trails of makeup sliding down your face. But you canât find it in yourself to care.
You canât even think, let alone bring yourself to wipe at your eyes. You just feel. You feel the harsh air on your face, feel your lungs working at maximum capacity, feel your heart clench in pain.
It takes 142 seconds for the bus to come (you count). You donât hesitate to get on, breathing having slowed down. The tears keep coming, though, seemingly unwilling to stop. When you see your reflection in the bus window, you let out a bitter chuckle. You look awful.
You settle into your seat, taking a chance to lean your head against the adjacent window. The glass is cool on your face, a contrast to your heated cheeks. Taking a deep breath, you let your shoulders sag, ridding your body of the tension it carried while crying.
It feels so unlike you to cry without warning. Youâve never really allowed yourself to break down like that in public, and as much as youâd like to pretend you donât know why, you know Yeonjun has something to do with it.
The short bus ride to campus is spent with you looking out of the window, trying to find a way to calm your tears. Eventually, they cease, but the ache in your core is still there. Hurt pulses throughout your abdomen, rising up your throat and spreading throughout your head. You need an Advil.
When you finally make it to your dorm, you sigh, feeling blessed that you have a single, and no roommate there to bother you. You toe off your work heels at the door, hanging your coat on a hook next to the light switch. Your bag drops from your hand with a small thud, its contents rattling with the force of its fall.
With your dress still on, makeup trails covering your face, and your phone in your hand, you flop down face first on the bed. Youâre content to fall asleep like this, not caring about the possible acne youâll have when you wake up in the morning or the discomfort of your dress. Even if your phone is dead in the morning, it doesnât matter, because you feel as though if you donât go to sleep, youâre going to lose your mind.
Just as you feel the tendrils of sleep wrap around your body, your phone buzzes in your hand. You groan into the mattress, kicking at it like a toddler throwing a tantrum. When you finally turn to look at the text message, your heart skips a beat.
âI saw you crying,â Yeonjunâs text reads.
You scoff, not even wanting to reply. Just as youâre about to turn the phone back over, though, it buzzes again. Yeonjunâs second text forces a shuddering breath out of you.
âLetâs talk. My dorm after work on Friday?â
You donât answer.
.    .    .
Yeonjun looks surprised when you show up at his door on Friday night. Heâs still in his scrubs, hair unkempt. His pouty lips form a small âoâ that reflects his emotions perfectly. In all honesty, youâre just as surprised.
âI didnât think you would come,â Yeonjun breathes out.
You nod, side stepping the boy to enter the small dorm room. âNeither did I.â
Yeonjun closes the door behind you, watching you trek further into his room. Making yourself comfortable on his desk chair, you look at him expectedly. It takes all of your resolve not to outwardly coo at the furrow in between his eyebrows.
âSo, um, how have you been?â
You scoff, baffled at his question. âYou called me all the way here to ask me how Iâve been?â
âIs it such a sin to care about how youâve been doing?â Yeonjun looks at you with equal amounts of disbelief.Â
âI just donât understand why. Why do you care?â
Yeonjunâs mind screams at him to just spit it out, to confess. He wants nothing more than to tell you how he feels, but somethingâs wrong. Something about you feels wrong, and itâs the first time Yeonjun has ever found himself admitting that.Â
Eventually, the boy sighs, dropping down to sit on his bed. âCan you just answer the question? Have you been alright? Soobin told me your hours have been really irregular.â
Your gaze drops down to the hands you have folded in your lap. âIâve just been having trouble keeping track of time recently.â
The way Yeonjun looks at you has your stomach churning. Itâs evident that heâs pondering something, tripping over words in his head to arrive at a question that he canât ask. His eyes are clear and sharp, but not exactly icy. Heâs uncomfortable, but your presence isnât unwanted.
Itâs not long before Yeonjun sighs, running a hand through his already messy hair. âY/N, what the hell are we doing?â
You instantly deflate at the question. âI donât know.â
And truly, you donât know. You donât know how you and Yeonjun have gone from being strangers to friends to lovers and back to strangers in the span of six months. You donât know why you canât move on. You donât know why you didnât just keep your distance like you promised yourself to do freshman year.
Yeonjunâs face melts into a subtle frown, pouty lips turning downwards as silence lingers between you two. The clarity in his eyes is momentarily clouded over, but it returns just as quickly as it left. He shifts on the bed, pulling his knees into his chest.
âHonestly, Yeojun,â you start, voice surprisingly strong. âI donât even know what went wrong. Things were fine, and then we left for break. When we came back, everything was different.â
Yeonjunâs eyes glimmer with something wet. Fear? Hope? âWhat was different?â He asks softly.
âThatâs what I donât know.â You sigh frustratedly. âYou kept trying to talk and I just kept wondering what there was to talk about.â
âThings felt different, but you didnât have anything to say?â
Yeonjunâs voice has an annoyed lilt to it that takes you aback. It wasnât often that Yeonjun got angry, and it was almost never at you. You can see now that maybe he has had reason to be. Maybe Yeonjun is angry with you. The thought alone scares you.
âAre you saying that itâs my fault for wanting to communicate?â
Your eyes widen in disbelief. âIâm not saying itâs anyoneâs fault, Yeonjun. Iâm just saying it was a lot and it was confusing and I didnât understand. Why are you getting mad?â
âIâm not mad!â Yeonjun all but yells. âI just spent so long thinking that I was crazy for thinking that things were different, but you noticed it too. Why didnât you say anything?!â
Anger bubbles up within your core, flushing your cheeks. Thereâs heat behind Yeonjunâs gaze, leaving you no choice but to match it with your own.
âI didnât say anything because I was confused! I just fucking said that.â And then it hits you. âWait, you thought things were different too?â
Color instantly rises to Yeonjunâs cheeks, and you recognize it as embarrassment rather than anger. He raises a hand to scratch at the back of his neck awkwardly.
âOf course I did.â
And then thereâs silence. You can hear the sounds of chatter from the hallways. Somewhere from down the hall, someone flushes a toilet. A bed creaks next door. Yeonjun isnât looking at you, but youâre looking right at him.
You laugh. You canât help the rising feeling, and eventually you let full-bellied laughter bubble out of your throat. Itâs too loud for the room, jarring in fact. Yeonjunâs gaze snaps directly to you, a strong furrow taking hold in between his eyebrows.
âIs that funny to you?â Even though thereâs heat behind Yeonjunâs words, itâs evident that heâs more confused than anything.
âThis is hilarious.â You continue to laugh, forcing out your words between breaths. âYeonjun, weâre both idiots.â
âWhat do you mean?â âIf you felt like things were different, and I felt like things were different, then things were different!â
Yeonjun looks at you like you sprouted another head. âWhat does that even mean?â
Eventually your laughter subsides, allowing you to look at Yeonjun clearly. Heâs still confused, made obvious by the furrow he still holds between his brows. His pout is deep, and you want to kiss him so badly, but you stay glued to your seat.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, it means that neither of us wanted to âjust have funâ anymore, right?â
Yeonjun shakes his head ânoâ adorably.
âThen the only thing we have to figure out is what we want.â You take a breath. âItâs okay that you donât want more from me. We can call this whole thing off, if you want. I know you donât do âfeelingsâ or commitment, and you have plenty of people lined up behind me. I donât want to get in the way of you pursuing other people. I wonât take it personally that you donât want to do this anymore.â
Yeonjunâs jaw drops in disbelief. âYou think I donât want to do this anymore?â
You nod understandingly. âI get it. Maybe you think I got too attached or something, but itâs okay. We can stop and you can keep doing whatever you want.â
âY/N, thatâs not--â
âItâs okay.â You cut the boy off, leaving him floundering for words. âYou donât have to explain. I donât want to damage your reputation by assuming some sort of exclusivity or anything. What started out as âjust having funâ got too complicated. Thatâs fine. Letâs just stop.â
âWhat if I donât want to stop?â
Yeonjunâs response takes you by surprise. His eyes are clear and hard set in your direction, the furrow between his brows gone. His arms are crossed over his chest in a way thatâs meant to be assertive, but comes off as insecure. Yeonjun cocks his head slightly.
âWhat if the reason I donât want to have fun is because I want something more? What if I want exclusivity?â
Your eyes go wide as Yeonjun stands from the bed.Â
âWhy are you assuming you know that I donât want this? That I donât want you?â
Once again you laugh, this time managing no more than a nervous chuckle. âYeonjun, thatâs not funny.â
Yeonjun squats in front of you, lowering himself so that you have to look down to meet his eyes. âIâm not joking.â
âBut you donât--youâre not--you donât do relationships!â
And itâs true. The Yeonjun you know doesnât waste time on exclusivity. You remember at the end of freshman year when a boy in your economics class, Wooyoung, was crying in the campus Starbucks for four hours straight. You later heard it was because he and Yeonjun had been sleeping together for some time, but when Wooyoung asked for more, Yeonjun broke his heart.
Clearly, this isnât that Yeonjun. You can tell by the way he looks at you. Itâs something akin to him in the nursing home. Thereâs a certain level of fear in his gaze, but thereâs also warmth. Thereâs care. Yeonjun cares. He cares.
It surprises you when Yeonjunâs lips turn up into a small smile. âTrust me, I also thought I didnât do relationships.â He grabs one of your hands, cradling it in between both of his. âBut I think I want to try. With you. If thatâs what you want too.â
You find yourself unable to do nothing but nod dumbly, still trying to process the boyâs words. Yeonjun chuckles, standing up from his squat, still cradling your hand gently.
âIs that a yes?â
You let yourself meet his gaze, craning your neck to look up at him. Itâs all openness, eyes a clear and warm brown, slightly glossy at the corners. You take inventory of his messy hair, his askew name tag thatâs decorated with red and pink hearts, and you know. You know.
âYes.â

Christmas Surprise
Warnings: Dub con, non con, 18+
Word Count: 5,405
Pairings: Dark!Bucky Barnes x Reader
Summary: Reader meets Bucky at her Cafe on Christmas Eve. After he thinks she has no one to spend Christmas with, he follows her home where secrets are revealed.Â
~ indicates a time change
Prompts: âBut you said it would snow.â
This is for @capcountdownchristmasâ challenge. I am, again, so sorry for being so late. Not gonna lie, busted a huge nut while writing this last night.Â
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hours dragged on as the lines around the mall got bigger and bigger. Your eyes stung with exhaustion and you held back the urge to yawn for the 10th time in the last minute. You couldnât wait to get home, it was Christmas Eve. You would expect people to be home, yet the mall was alive with procrastinators, scavenging to get their last minute gifts. Everything was starting to wind down as you looked to the clock, nearly 5pm. Usually the cafe you worked in closed with the mall, at 10, but your boss insisted you close early at 5. He promised to take his family to Puerto Rico to see family, he wasnât expecting so many people to be here at 10. He was probably kicking himself, as more people flooded in, they looked like they needed coffee to keep them afloat. You were taken from your thoughts as another customer walked into your vision. He had long dark brown hair with the clearest blue eyes. You were stunned at his beauty but quickly caught your breath and found your best customer service voice yet again.Â
âGood evening, sir, are you ready to order?â You smiled to the man. He looked like the man you onced loved. Maybe thatâs why you found him so beautiful. You saw your ex husband in his eyes.Â
The man looked into your eyes and then back to the menu over your head. He ran his hand down his nicely trimmed beard. âYeah, Iâll just take a large, hot, black coffee.â You smiled brighter and nodded, his order was painfully easy thank God, then started typing his orderâs price into the cash register.Â
âOkay, thatâll be $5, sir. Would you like to donate to the childrenâs Christmas Drive? They need donations to ensure the kids have a nice christmas this year over at the hospital.â You looked back to the man still smiling.Â
âSure.â He reached into his back pocket and took out his wallet. He pulled out a 10 dollar bill and handed it to you. You broke the 10 into two 5âs and put one in the register and the other in the donation jar.Â
âOkay, thank you sir. Iâll get started on your coffee.â You closed the register and smiled as you handed his receipt to the man. He mumbled a thank you as you turned to start his coffee. You were the only one working that night, which made the day go only slower. As you pulled out the coffee pot you saw no coffee left. Youâd have to make more, which would take about 5 minutes. This would be a nightmare if there were a lot of people in line, but you turned to look and nobody was there except the man with the pretty eyes.Â
Thank god you thought to yourself. You started putting the coffee grinds into the coffee maker before putting it on the eye. The sound of the coffee brewing filled the small area as you walked back to the counter where the man stood waiting for his order.Â
âExcuse me sir, I apologize but there was no coffee left. Iâm making more now, your order should be no more than 5 minutes.â You smiled again, hoping this wouldnât make him irritated. He already didnât seem happy with being here. An angry customer was always hard to deal with, especially today.Â
âThatâs fine. Thank you.â
You nodded and stepped from behind the counter and made your way to the door, flipping the sign to closed. The clock read 5:03. The ones inside the cafe started filtering out, soon it was only you and the man.Â
âSo, any plans for the holiday?â Your voice seemed to surprise him. He looked to you before replying.Â
âNot really,â He stopped talking before jumping a little, standing a bit taller. âHow about you?âÂ
You started cleaning the cafe up, this way you could get out after delivering the coffee, you still wanted to pick up a gift. You had been saving all year for this gift, working several jobs, and now all your hard work would be paid off. You could finally afford it.Â
âNothing. Just get off work and head over to one of these stores and pick up a last minute gift for someone. Iâve been working hard to get it all year, so glad I can finally afford it.â
His face seemed to fall at this. âHusband?â
Now it was your turn to have your face turn down. âNo. He passed away 7 years ago.â
âOh, Iâm sorry I didnât mean to-â
âItâs alright,â You cut him off, your smile returning. âReally. His death was hard on me at first, had to drop out of college and get a job to support myself. Itâs led to me having 2 jobs at once, but both are really good to me. Been working at this cafe for 7 years,â You pointed to the donation jar. âA nurseâs aid has been my other job. I like it there a lot, with the kids. I wanted to be a pediatrician so itâs not too far off what I saw in my future. Iâm not as rich as I thought,â You chuckled. âBut it pays the bills and allows me to have some nice things, buy some things for other people, too.â
You stopped cleaning the table you were working at. You looked up to see the man staring at you intently, you had probably scared him. You hadnât meant to tell this stranger your life story, but you did have the tendency to blab on. Plus you hadnât had many to really talk to. âIâm sorry. You didnât come for story time.âÂ
He was about to reply when the coffee machine dinged, it was ready. You stood upright, bringing the rag with you to dispose of in the laundry basket, before making your way behind the counter. You silently grabbed a holiday cup before pouring the black substance inside. You popped a lid on and handed it to the customer, making sure to smile.Â
âThank you for waiting, hope you have a happy holiday.â
âThanks, you too.â He started making his way to the door when he stopped.Â
âSomething wrong, sir?â You were shrugging on your coat and grabbing your purse and the keys to the cafe. You were ready to leave and get home.Â
âYeah, I forgot your tip.â
You smiled, he was really sweet. âNo need sir, really. My tip can be the donation you gave.â
The man turned to you, scrunching up his face. He took out his wallet again, pulling out a bill. âNonsense. That was a donation, this is a tip,â He walked over to you, handing you a 100 follar bill. âConsider it an early Christmas gift.âÂ
Your mouth was hitting the floor. $100?! You would never carry around that much money around, your parents taught you better than that.Â
âI-I canât accept this.â You stammered, eyes still wide staring at the money.
âPlease, itâll mean a lot to me.â
You looked up at the man and saw him smiling down at you. It made your heart clench. Your husband acted just like him, theyâd be best friends. You smiled before taking the bill with shaking hands. âThank you. So much.â
âYouâre welcome. Get home safe,â He squinted at your name tag. âY/N.â
You smiled even bigger. âI will, thanks, you too!â
And with that the generous man left you in the cafe. You grabbed the donation can and put it in your bag. Youâd deliver it tomorrow on your shift. The hospital never closed, therefore youâd be there. You locked up the cafe, thankful you wouldnât be coming back there for another 3 days, then made your way to the main area. You still had to get that gift.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You clutched the gift tighter to your body. You didnât live in a bad part of town, your 2 jobs barely ensured this, but you still didnât trust someone wouldnât steal the expensive box in your hands. You went up to your apartment, it was oddly quiet. You figured the person was still at the neighbors, you were home earlier than expected, so you decided to start wrapping the gift. Like every Christmases, the tree stood brightly decorated. Other years small gifts sat under the tree, they were all you could manage. Now, nothing was there. You had kept from spending so you could have this gift you were busy wrapping now. You were excited, they were going to be so excited. You looked outside your window and frowned. It still wasnât snowing. The weather man said it would be by now.Â
You were finishing the wrapping when the doorbell rang. Theyâre here! You quickly fix your hair and put the newly wrapped box under the tree before making your way to the door. You wished you couldâve changed, had a quick shower maybe. Oh well.Â
You opened the door with a smile and was about to hug the person on the other side when you realized it wasnât who you thought it was. Far from it even.Â
âHi, Y/N!â
It was the man from the cafe. How did he get here, why was he here?Â
âI saw you come into the apartment. Would you believe I have family right down there?âÂ
You smiled and relaxed a bit. He wasnât a crazy stalker. âWow, thatâs crazy! I didnât know that.â
âYeah...Theyâre about to head out to go caroling. Not really my thing, so I think Iâm going to head home. Wanted to just pop in before I left though.â He seemed to be stalling in your doorway. Like he didnât want to go.
âOh, well would you like to come in? I was going to start making hot chocolate.â
His eyes brightened at the idea. âYeah! Erh- I mean are you sure? Wouldnât want to imposeâŠâ His voice trailed off, as if he were hinting at something.Â
âNo, not at all!â You pulled him inside before closing the door.Â
âMy nameâs Bucky by the way. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier.â
You started walking toward the kitched before turning your head over your shoulder to look at him and smile. âHey Bucky. Iâm Y/N as you know,â You laughed with him as you took milk out of the fridge. âYou can have a seat wherever. I know itâs not much, but we make do.â
Bucky nodded before taking a seat on the couch. The walls were bare, dark squares in their place. He frowned at them. âWere there pictures hanging here before?â
You poured the milk into a pot on the stove and turned the eye on then walked to where you could sit next to Bucky on the couch. âYeah, they were of my husband. I took them down after he⊠I just couldnât seem to move on with them there. I meant to put them up again one day, when I could handle it, but I still donât think I can. Not even 7 years later. Now Iâm not one for pictures, would rather live in the moment.â You stopped talking and turned to him. He was staring at you. It made you kind of uncomfortable. Why did he look at you like that? You shifted under his gaze before smiling again. âThere I go again, talking your ears off.âÂ
Bucky shook his head, hair shifting around his shoulders perfectly. âNo, I like it. Not had anyone to talk to in years, I like to listen more anyway.â You nodded. All you had done since your husband passed away was listen. Sure, you enjoyed it, but what youâd give to have someone hear you for once.Â
âYour family not one for listening?â
âNot really. Theyâre often off in their world when I talk. My brother, Steve, is always trying to get me to talk, and he listens, but I canât stand the look he gives me when I do talk, like Iâm nothing but my problems. He says I can talk to him, and I can, but I canât help but to feel judged by him. I know heâs trying his best, but I wish I could talk to someone new. Someone who didnât know my past.â
You stared at him stunned. It was the most he had talked to you. Then again, he was a stranger. Which pricked at your nerves, you had let a stranger into your home. He couldâve been a killer, especially with this talk about âhis pastâ.Â
âWho did you say your family was? I know everyone in the building and Iâve lived here for about 10 years. I feel I shouldâve seen you at a Thanksgiving or Christmas or something.â
In that moment the stove started making sizzling noises, your milk was flooding over. You jumped up to move it off the eye and turning the hot one off entirely. The milk starts to stop bubbling when taken off the eye and you turn to get the cocoa packets. Right then youâre met with the hard chest of Bucky. How long was he behind you?
âOh, Iâm sorry,â You tried to side-step him but he was quick to get in front of you again.
âBucky?â
âYou know, Y/N, I was really relieved that you didnât recognise me. It took me a while to realize who you were in the coffee shop.I was hoping you werenât married. You had been the first person to talk to be in a long time. Besides Steve, of course. I felt something, a connection. But when you mentioned a gift, Iâll admit, I was pissed. I wanted you to myself. A sweet, gorgeous girl like you is hard to come by now. When you mentioned your husband's death 7 years ago I finally remembered you. I wasnât sure at first, but Iâm pretty sure,â He looked around the walls again then back your terrified face and trembling body. Who was this guy? âYou have no pictures up so youâll have to correct me if I'm wrong. Was your husband an ex Shield agent by any chance?â
You relaxed a bit. Your husband was a Doctor, he passed away in a car accident on his way home from work.Â
âNo. He was a doctor,â You glanced to the door. You were angry at yourself for letting this clearly delusional man into your home. He had no family here, and he followed you home. Now he thought he knew you and your family. âBucky, Iâm sorry but Iâm going to have to ask you to leave before I call the police.â Again you tried to step around him.Â
He grabbed your wrist and pulled you close. âI donât think I will, doll.â You looked up to Bucky with wide searching eyes. You looked around you, scouting out something to use as a weapon. Anything. Your eyes landed on the mugs and you reached out to them.Â
âNo you donât.â You screamed as you were thrown over your shoulder. You thrashed in his hold, trying to wiggle free.Â
âBucky, stop! Let me go now!â You were settled back on the couch, Bucky reaching into his jacket pocket and pulling out rope.
âDidnât think Iâd use these on you. Expecting to put them on that boyfriend of yours, but I suppose since heâs not here yet..â Boyfriend?Â
He made quick work tying your hands together behind you before keeping a stern hand on you upper left arm and turning you to face him.
âGood. Better?â
âFuck you.â You spat
Bucky smiled wider at you. âThereâs the feisty woman I remember.â
âRemember? Weâve never met.â
âNo, we havenât. Not officially. I studied you from afar, back when my name was still the Winter Soldier,â The name seem to make him shiver. âI saw you and your husband, watched you for weeks. You were different then. A feisty young thing. No wiser to who your husband was.â
âYou have the wrong person. My husband was a doctor, not an agent.â
Bucky rolled his eyes at you. âYeah, thatâs what you said then. His nurse, Nancy? The one with short brown hair? Not really a nurse, doll, she was an agent. And so was he.â The girl did ring a bell. She always had a lingering touch on your husband, one you didnât like. You had complained to him a lot about her, he always told you she had nothing on you. You believed him.Â
Buckyâs hand reached into his pocket again. You watched him and realized he was wearing leather gloves. Strange for the weather. He took out a photo and showed you. It was a picture of you and your husband at a party at his work. The day before he died. They had thrown him a party, he had saved someoneâs life through dire circumstances. The next day he was supposed to have off, but he had to go in for an emergency surgery. He never made it back home.Â
âHe had just killed a couple of people that worked for an organization called HYDRA. They werenât happy, so they sent me to kill him. As always, I watched my target for weeks. I was waiting for the perfect moment,â He caressed your trembling face, you were close to tears. âThe day after this photo was taken I shot him while in his car. False phone call and everything got him out of the house and away from you. Guess even with my brains in the blinder I had fallen for you. Didnât want you seeing your husband's brains all over the floor. All these years later I see you in that cafe,â Bucky shook his head. âI couldnât stand the fact that I had done that to you. If I had known I wouldâve done this sooner.â
You shook your head. This didnât make sense. The police ruled your husbandâs death a terrible car accident. He had been driving at night and exhaustion behind the wheel caused him to crash into the wall. He wasnât an agent. He hadnât killed anyone. But this guy claimed he did, and that he had killed his husband. All the while being called the Winter Soldier. It made you uneasy.Â
âYouâre lying.â You started trying to move away from Bucky again, but he easily pulled you back using his grasp on you arm.Â
âI wish I was. I was a monster, but so was your husband. Killing people, some of them innocent. Then he came home and lied to you. Iâd never lie to you.â He was inching closer to you now, you could feel his body heat.
You whimpered when he pressed his lips to you, refusing to kiss back. He pulled away after a moment and looked into your eyes, his blown black with lust. âIâve been wanting to do that for so long. And now, youâre mine. I donât care who he is, heâs going to learn youâre mine now and I donât plan on letting you go.â Who was he?
Before you could ask he brought his left hand to your left breast and squeezed. You whimpered again and tried to shove him away best way you could with your binded hands.Â
âBucky, no please.â
Bucky smiled again. âWhatâs wrong? You afraid your boyfriends going to show up?â
âN-no! Please, just donât do this. Let me go.â
âNo can do. I told you, youâre mine,â His hand traveled down your chest and below your stomach, stopping near your heat clad jeans. âBesides, I canât let you spend Christmas alone.â
Just then Bucky made quick work unbuttoning your jeans and sliding them down. You jerked your hips trying to make the process harder for him, but alas your motives didnât deter him. He slided them along with your panties down revealing your pussy to him.Â
Bucky hummed in approval. He looked to your shirt and quickly grabbed it, ripping it from your body.Â
âBucky stop!â
He ignored you as he clipped off your strapless bra, leaving you completely nude to him. âYouâre prettier than I imagined, dear.â He licked his lips looking you up and down. He removed his gloves and shrugged off his jacket. You gasped as his left arm shined in the light. It was metal. He removed his shirt before dropping his jeans, leaving him in his underwear. His member strained in the thin fabric, aching for freedom. He was huge. Bigger than anything you had ever taken. Bucky saw you watching and smirked down at you before palming himself.Â
âIâve been hard since the cafe,â He growled. âNever been the hard before. If Iâm being honest, all I want for Christmas is you, doll.â He removed himself from his underwear and groaned. He kicked the fabric away and gripped his base before groaning again. He walked over to you again before getting to his knees in front of your heat. You hated to admit it, but you were growing wet. Years of nights spent alone with your toys, none filling you the way a man could, the way your husband did. Most of the time you went to sleep unsatisfied, and others you just ignored the urges entirely. Majority of the time you worked so there wasnât much you could do anyway.Â
Bucky brought himself forward and licked a line from your entrance to your bud. He moaned at the taste.Â
âYou taste like heaven, doll.â He brought his hand to either thigh, spreading you out more for him. He dove back in, feasting on your pussy like a final meal. Your stomach was doing flips at this old pleasure, something you hadnât felt in years. You were biting back the noises you wanted nothing more than to let fly, and it took everything not to grind your hips into face, bringing your core more into his mouth. It wasnât until he brought a finger to your hole that you couldnât contain the moan that slipped. Bucky looked to you through lashes and smiled into your heat. He pumped the finger into you before adding another, you relished in the stretch your fingers could never bring. Your hips started on their own accord and you let them. Bucky moaned into your core and you shook from the vibrations. Your body was in control and you didnât mind, too blissed to care at the moment. Finally, Bucky curled his fingers into you at the right spot that had you seeing stars. You moaned out loud in ecstasy and Bucky fought to keep your thighs from closing around his head as he continued to slurp you up.Â
He stood up and removed his fingers from you, popping them into his mouth. His eyes rolled back as he sucked on them before removing them.Â
âThatâs the hottest thing Iâve ever seen.â
You were still catching your breath when Bucky sat down. Your mind was still cloudy with your orgasm as he lifted you onto his lap, his hot member pressing into your sensitive cunt.Â
âB-Bucky, wait-â
You were cut off by Bucky pulling you all the way down on him. You gasped from the stretch and he hissed from your tight walls hugging him. He could stay like that all day.Â
âFuck, baby, you feel so good.âÂ
He held onto your hips and starting moving you up and down in a slow rhythm. You were growing accustomed to his length and the pleasure starting building yet again. The room started to grow hot, despite the freezing temperatures of New York City outside, and your bodies felt sticky. Bucky started picking up the pace, the sounds of skin slapping against skin filled the room. Your moans mixed with his.
âShit, your pussy is so good, hugging me so good.â He slapped your ass, guiding you faster and faster on his cock. He looked down where your bodies met and moaned as he watched his cock disappear into you before reappearing wetter. âThis feels good doesnât it? You like it when I fuck you on your coach donât you?â He reached down and found your bud again, making you cry out. âTell me you like he.â He growled through gritted teeth, dark eyes boring into yours.
âI like it.â Your voice weak with pleasure.
Bucky hummed, working you harder against him.Â
âYouâre gonna make me come baby. I want you to cum first. Let go on my cock, I want you dripping all down my dick, doll. Can you do that? Can you cum on my cock like a good girl?âÂ
You nodded your head, you were close and wanted it so bad. He was fucking you so good it hurt. Your breath was getting faster and your eyes threatened to close. Bucky flicked your bud again before you exploded. You came loud, clenching his cock in a viper grip as your release shook your body and threaten to slide down his thick cock. Bucky didnât stop, he was determined to finish as he rocked you harder, his eyes closed in intense pleasure. His hips rose to meet yours when he finally hit up into you one last time before screaming your name. You felt him cum deep in you, he ground his hips a little to work himself through it.Â
As you both caught your breath he hugged you close to him. His breath fanned over your shoulder as your overworked body slumped beneath his chin. Your eyes were heavy with exhaustion. After a while Bucky removed you from him, settling you carefully on the couch, his sum drizzling out of you a bit. He got up and moved in the back while you sat still, still too dazed to think about the fact he had cum in you with no protection. Youâd have to deal with it later.Â
Bucky came back with a wet washcloth, a night shirt, and fresh underwear. He carefully cleaned your core before dressing you, then himself. He was just untying your wrist when a knock on the door sounded. You both looked to it in shock then to each other. Your eyes were wide on him and he just smiled again. You made to stand but he pushed you down.Â
âI got it.â Was all he said while he stood up, his tall frame moving to the door. You rubbed your wrist, tears threatening to spill over; you knew who was at the door.Â
Bucky pulled the door open.Â
âSorry weâre late, we went to the park and let time get ahead of us - Oh! Hello.â The old woman, Mrs. Kim, stood at your door talking with Bucky. He wasnât looking at her, though, he was looking at Oliver.Â
âThatâs no problem, Mrs. Kim. Did he have a good time?â You screamed from your place on the couch. Mrs. Kim looked passed Bucky to you and smiled.
 âOh yes! He couldnât stop talking about a train set Kidâs Kompany just released. It sounds awesome.â She looked down at the little boy who smiled up at her. Your heart leapt in your chest and you looked to the gift under the tree. He did nothing but talk about the set since he first saw it on tv, you were so glad you were able to get it.Â
âThanks again Mrs. Kim.â
âNo problem, honey. Oliver is such a joy, have a good night,â she looked to you then Oliver then back to Bucky. âIt was nice meeting you, dear.â She held out her hand to Bucky, to which he shook still eyeing Oliver. Mrs. Kim winked at you and walked away, back to her apartment. She was a nice old woman, her and her husband always agreeing to help with Oliver. She always said you needed to move on from your husband. I guess she thought Bucky was the next prince charming. She was sort of right.Â
Oliver looked at Bucky curiously with his big blue eyes, they fancied his dadâs and Buckyâs you thought, before sidestepping him into the apartment. He wanted to know who Bucky was, but you raised him to not be rude. Heâd more than likely ask later if he wasnât introduced. He looked to you and smiled wide before running over with his arms spread out out, ready for a hug.
âMommy!â
You smiled at your son as he ran into your arms. You hugged him close to you, kissing his dark locks.Â
Bucky shut the door before turning to you entirely.Â
âMommy, itâs not snowing.â Your son said with a pout.
You smiled sadly at him, you knew he was disappointed. âI know, honeyâ
âBut you said it would snow.â
âI know I did, the weatherman said it would.â
âIt still might.â You and your son looked to Bucky. He was smiling at your son while leaning on the wall, arms crossed.Â
âReally?â His blue eyes filled with excitement and he ran to Bucky before you could stop him. Your eyes rounded with fear.Â
âThatâs right. In fact, when it does weâre going to go sledding.â
Oliver turned to you, his excitement growing. He turned back to Bucky. âSledding? Iâve never been.â
âYouâve never been sledding before? Well, its awesome, youâre gonna love it, Oliver.â
Your sonâs name sounded like venom on Buckyâs lips. How dare he volunteer to take your son somewhere? Youâd raise Hell before you allowed that to happen.Â
Oliverâs curiosity burst and he asked, âWho are you?â
Bucky acted stunned and looked between you and Oliver. You shot daggers at him, what was he doing?
âDid mommy not tell you, bud? Iâm your dad.â
Now you were furious. Oliver had never met his dad or seen photos. You were just 2 months pregnant with him when his father died. He hadnât even known, you planned to tell him the night he died. You had said you had no photos of him when he asked. You planned to show him, but one drunk sad night you threw them away. You had missed his father deeply, surely he wouldnât need photos. It was a stupid move on your part; a sad, stupid move.Â
Oliver looked stunned but quickly jumped with joy and hugged Bucky tight. Bucky returned the hug. Oliver was close to tears looking at his âdadâ.Â
âWhere have you been dad? I missed you so much, mommy said you died before I was born.â
âI know buddy Iâm sorry. I had to trick mommy because I was scared to meet you. But now Iâm here, and I will never leave you guys again. Mommy wonât have to work anymore and weâre going to move in together. How does that sound?â
Oliver nodded his head yes. âIt sounds good, daddy!â
You looked on stunned. You couldnât believe what you were hearing.Â
Bucky picked up Oliver and moved to where you sat on the couch. He sat him in your lap and moved to the tree. He picked up the present and walked back. He handed the present to Oliver who looked at Bucky surprised. âFor me?â
âYeah, buddy. Thatâs from mommy, she worked so hard to get that for you.â
Oliver turned to you and hugged you again. âThanks mommy!â
You hugged Oliver back and smiled at him. âYouâre welcome baby.â
Oliver ripped passed the green reindeer wrapping paper to reveal the train set. He squealed with delight and hugged you again, chanting thank yous over and over. Bucky pulled you closer so that you all looked like a family hugging. âMy present is going to be sledding. Iâm sorry I donât have anything else, I wasnât expecting to be coming this Christmas. But next year, I promise itâs going to be amazing,â Bucky said to Oliver. Oliver nodded, his hair bouncing everywhere. He smiled at you and then Bucky. Buckyâs hand traveled down to your stomach. âWe have another surprise, buddy. This oneâs from us both, so in total you have 3 presents. This time next year, youâre going to have a little brother or sister.âÂ
Your heart stopped at that. Oliver gasped and looked to you again. âReally? Yay! Best Christmas ever!â He had always wanted a little sibling, you were convinced itâd never happen. Bucky rubbed your stomach, a silent promise played in his actions. You felt sick and your face contorted into fear yet again.
Bucky smiled at you. âConsider it a Christmas surprise.âÂ

Recommended Hotels Around Bali

okay i wasn't going to send you another but - ray and peter + new year?? đ
THANK YOU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The shimmering glow of the moon that was hanging over the town, bounced itâs beams right into the home. It warmed the strands of hair atop Rayâs head, so he leaned it back to rest on the window. His fingers mindlessly knitted together an extremely late Christmas scarf for Stebbins. He didnât even really have to pay attention these days, his hands just created all on their own.
It was late into New Years Eve so he was having a party. He liked being the host just about as much as he hated it. Though, he never seemed to remember the bad side of it until heâd already agreed to offer his home. The apartment was packed with at least 100 of his closest friends & their invites, who they never seemed to hang out with otherwise. Gold and black streamers littered the floor and all corners of the main room. Scramm was currently stomping them further into the carpet with the tip of his shoe, mid-make-out with Cathy.Â
Pete was floating around in the corner of the kitchen, making conversation with anyone who entered the area. A glass of beer was cradled under his nose which he took tentative sips from every time the talking dipped.Â
As Ray curled up childishly on the wooden floor, he had a flicker of an innocent thought. It wasnât monumentalâŠnot in the slightest. But, if he were to describe it in the simplest of waysâŠ.it was admiration? When Pete caught his eye and did a three-fingered tiny wave behind his glass, Ray paused.
It was one of those moments where the sight is just so pleasing to the eye that you just have to let out a breathy gasp that leads to an upturned grin. All Pete did next was laugh at something Art had said and Ray didnât have to be listening to know how funny it was. No, Peteâs face gave it awayâŠ.which was nicer.Â
Pete abruptly set his glass down and made his way over to him so Ray shoved away his work. âCome outside with me for a second, yeah?â He sniffled and swiped a curled finger under his nose, not making eye contact.Â
âBut the ball is gonna drop-?â
âI got sick of that after puberty, Raymond. Didnât you?â Pete kicked his shoe with a tiny smirk. Ray rolled his eyes but heaved himself off the floor and followed his best friend outside.Â
The glass door slid to a near-close under Peteâs palm before he was turning back to Ray. âI wanted to tell ya something. Something secret. Just aâŠyou and me kinda thing.â He chuckled and gestured between their bodies. Ray followed his hand with his eyes and smiled. He liked those kind of secrets. He didnât mind much that everyone inside had already begun counting.Â
â10, 9, 8âŠ-â
âMmmm, should I be worried?â He reached his leg out to kick Pete playfully who glanced up long enough to smirk again before looking back down at the ground.Â
â5, 4âŠ.â
Pete finally looked up, took a deep breath and smiled so genuinely that it was rather beautiful.Â
â3, 2, 1!â
At the sound of the last number, someone inside shot-off and streamer popper but it was fuzzed behind Peteâs words. âRay, Iâm in love with you.â Ray didnât lean back onto the railing, no-he fell back in shock.Â
Pete shrugged, tongue poking out of the corner of his soft smile. âYeah. Thatâs out there now.â He giggled. âI figured I shouldâŠyâknow mention that to you since new yearâŠnew beginnings.â Pete let the phrase pass his lips though it didnât sound like he truly believed it.Â
The air grew thick but it didnât seem to bother him. âAnyway, I donât expect you to say it back to me-â He broke for strained laughter. âBut I wanted to put it out there just so it might stop building and shit.â He shrugged again and quickly moved to nudge Ray on the shoulder. Their eyes met and Peteâs were slightly watery and serious.Â
âPlus, I thought it might be nice for you to start off your new year feeling some love. You deserve that shit, Ray. Youâre good people.â He swallowed painfully and back up. âSo goodâ he mumbled and turned away, walking back into the party and leaving a dead-still and completely shocked Ray.Â
He stared at the back of Peteâs head until the view was covered by his other guests.Â

And finding the right travel company is a little headache however i feel it is needed. particularly if you want to journey in a different country where you nearly know nothing.

In reality, on the time of writing, the last glancing blow was by weak Hurricane Felix back in 2007.
This can also be a good time to go to London and Paris and Central Europe. Barcelona needs no less than two days of your time to see the most effective of it. There are additionally nice day journeys you'll be able to take from Barcelona, corresponding to visiting Montserrat, Girona, Costa Brava, and Tarragona.

With a dramatic cliffside setting in Negril, this adults-solely all-inclusive is taken into account certainly one of Jamaicaâs most particular resorts â albeit one with high nightly rates. Meals and drinks are included, however the choices right here go above and past typical all-inclusive fare.
Most people need several days in a place where they couldnât see a museum or take a tour even when they wanted to. A stop within the mountains or on an island, in a pleasant rural city, or at the home of a relative is an effective way to revitalize your vacationer spirit. If youâre passionate about Renaissance art, Florence is a must. Englandâs Cotswolds beckon to those who fantasize about thatched cottages, time-handed villages, and sheep lazing on inexperienced hillsides. For World War II buffs, thereâs no more stirring experience than a go to to Normandy.
We will be arriving in Munich after which plan to cover Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Paris and spend final four-days in London since our return flight is from London. Plus, itâs not just the most affordable cities in Europe. Malta, as an Island, could be comparatively cheap too.

Reading this makes me realise how much planning I donât do before reserving a trip! Youâve given me some great tips, and plenty to think about before reserving my subsequent travels. I never use a journey agent but Iâd take into consideration attempting it out. By the time I get to this a part of planning my holiday, I know that many of the work is done. Now, it's about specializing in the smaller details.
Most travel brokers are paid a fee from resorts, airlines or tour operators after they guide a shopper with them. Some resorts or tour operators pay more fee than others.
Passport photographs will value you about an extra $10, or you possibly can print your own free of charge at ePassportPhoto. Europe has an insane quantity of fine beer and wine â so you should sample all you possibly can.
It lays out every piece of knowledge you may need on your trip so you're by no means left hunting round on the lookout for an tackle or a cellphone quantity. This means you'll be able to spend extra time exploring or enjoyable and fewer time making an attempt to prepare yourself.

Spend a minimum of one day exploring Florence, after which use your additional days to take day trips into Tuscany, visiting Siena and the other hill towns. You can do this on your own by renting a car or using the public buses (however this was a nightmare in our expertiseâŠwe highly recommend renting your own automotive or hiring a driver while in Tuscany!). Ten days is simply sufficient time to get a style of this country.
BARCELONA, SPAIN Travel Costs
There are miles of white-sand seashores (like Rendezvous Bay, overlooking neighboring Saint Martin island), as well as secluded coves reached by boat, similar to at Little Bay.

In a nutshell, you have fewer things to fret about with all-inclusive packages.
If you worry about issues that are just out of attain, you gainedât respect whatâs in your hand. Iâve taken dozens of European journeys, and I still want more time. Itâs a blessing that we can by no means see all of Europe. Alternate intense big cities with villages and countryside.

Jen Pellerito, journey writer and creator of Jen on the Run, did an analysis using an Expedia seek for resorts in Cancun for seven days (Aug. 24 to Aug. 31, 2018). Many all-inclusive resorts are close to major airports and big cities, stated Ebert. If youâre visiting a spot like the Caribbean, youâll discover many resorts have private access to the beach. For instance, when youâre traveling alone, traversing a huge space, and spending the vast majority of your time in huge cities, it makes more sense to go by prepare with a rail cross than to mess with a car.
