𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃 | kaiser x reader

— part three

plot: kaiser comforted you after a bad and slow breakup, but what will happen now considering what you two shared? is everything still unexpected or is there something you both simply have yet to realize?. fluff shit 'cause yeah!!

words: 2.9k (2951)

extra: it will probably become a multi part story, tell me if you're interested in a part four!

𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ; take a look, trust me!

The airport, at night, had always seemed like an extremely quiet place to you; often your flights, just like this one in the end, arrived at their destination when it was already dark outside, and going down the steps of the plane in the cold night had always been a pleasant sensation for you. But not this time, when everything seemed out of place while your head still hurt from the fight with Gabriele

Even if at least 3 hours had passed and you were completely in another country, Gabriel's shadow always seemed to be a few steps behind you, looking for the right moment to attack you and suck every last drop of blood from you

The flight had been quick, barely two hours. Berlin had welcomed you with its usual beauty, which fascinated you every time. Your phone had run out of battery just before entering the Milan airport, leaving you with no news from Kaiser. You didn't know if he had read the message, if he was at home, if he was first of all still convinced of his proposal: everything still seemed to be understood, and not having the situation under control was strange for someone like you

During the flight you often thought about Kaiser, but it's often a nice and reductive way of saying always: the thought of seeing him again, of hugging him, of living under his roof again were all sensations that you had terribly missed. His touch was something you craved after so many hands that had touched you only to hurt you

You simply needed Michael

The moment you plugged in the charger at the airport and your phone came back to life, your phone's notifications were flooded with nothing but Kaiser: you had received a few calls, a few messages and even an email. You find yourself smiling almost unconsciously, opening the chat

mihya ♡

— are you serious? — 17:59

— tell me you're not joking and you actually accepted — 18:00

— y/n?? — 18:13

— your phone shows disconnected, maybe you're on a plane — 18:29

— call me — 18:32

— call me as soon as you get off, I'll stay outside until I see the plane land — 18:41

— you don't know how happy it makes me to know that you are here with me again — 18:57

Reread the last message more than a few times, and the smile on your face doesn't seem to want to fade; Kaiser never dares to say such sweet things, but the fact that he did it with you makes you extremely happy. Suddenly, to yourself, you wondered why you hadn't moved back there before. You would have suffered much less

mihya ♡

you — I'm at the gate — 19:47

— I saw you. I'm coming to you — 19:47

You write the message and look up, looking for him among the sea of ​​people walking in their own hurry. Knowing that he responded right away and was waiting for you warms your heart. Noticing blonde and blue hair should be simple, yet where is he? why don't you see anyone approaching?

"Damn" you whisper to yourself, standing on tiptoe to look for him, but you feel as if Gabriel's shadow disappears to make room for another, more reassuring one. You whip around and a pair of cerulean big eyes stare back at you, the usual smirk on his pale, smooth face "Found"

For just a second, the world seems to stop; you look at each other, one's eyes on the other's figure, and for a fraction of time that seems to last too short, you find yourself thinking about what it would be like to kiss him again. Kiss him out of love, not driven by the moment as had happened to you that night in the hotel. Simply knowing what his lips would taste like for a kiss given on the fly, just like that. But the feeling doesn't last long, replaced by one of strangeness for even having imagined such a thing

“Hey” you say, waving at him with your free hand, the other holding the suitcase. But it's not long before he pulls you into a hug, his hands resting on the small of your back. Sweet shivers run down your spine, and you wonder why you all suddenly you seem like a whore for his touch. You just really hope he doesn't notice, because it would be extremely difficult to explain. He stays like that for a few seconds, before you place your free hand against his back, returning the hug. Kaiser lets out a satisfied sigh before pulling away, picking up your suitcase without even asking your permission "I can carry it" you say trying to take the handle again, but he shakes his head "Don't you dare. Are you tired?" he asks

You would like to answer him simply, tell him that at the moment tiredness is eating you alive and the stress of the last fight with Gabriel is still corroding your veins. But now, with him, everything seems a little lighter

"A little, but because of the flight. A good sleep and I'll be better" you say walking next to him as you head towards the airport exit. He watches you, but doesn't seem completely convinced by your words "Is that all?" he asks raising an eyebrow, and you know very well that sooner or later you will have to explain the situation to him in full “For what you need to know now, yes"

You exit the building, your suitcase in the back seat and you and him sitting comfortably in the front seats. The car leaves, walking a road you already know: when you lived with Kaiser, you were often the one who came to pick him up when he returned from another country, and you walked along the exact same road that led, and continues to lead, to his house

"This sudden decision?" the guy says, switching gears "Don't get me wrong, but you still had some doubts on the call. You told me to wait before you hung up on me, and I don't know why" he says, and you understand what he means. You look through the window, Berlin slowly returning to your memory with all its particularities

"Gabriel is back" you say, and notice how his expression changes radically "He acted crazy, and still being there made me realize that there would probably be bad consequences. So I accepted, removing any doubts" you say, your hands calm on your lap. Kaiser nods, but his grip on the steering wheel remains tighter than necessary

"I should have asked you before, but I thought it was one of your usual things where you argue and two days later everything is normal. I'm glad that this time you've really opened your eyes, at least on this topic" he says almost in a sarcastic tone, which however you don't understand all of a sudden "At least in this topic?" you ask, and Micheal turns to look at you for a few seconds before looking back at the road ahead, leaving you with no answer. You glare at him for a few seconds, then sigh; you look back out the window, and suddenly the silence seems to weigh heavy between you

The road passes quietly under your and his gaze, and even before you realize it, you arrive at the iron gate that opens onto Micheal's house. The car passes him and stops in the cobblestone driveway, before it shuts down completely. Kaiser gets out and consequently you too, heading to get your suitcase, but again he is the one who picks it up and carries it into the house.When you enter the house, an old feeling of familiarity enters your veins, reminding you of many beautiful memories: the dinners at midnight when he returned from training, the sports themed evenings where he forced you to pass the ball to him inside the house, the days where you simply stayed lying on the sofa together was the only solution. There is a reason, after all, that you consider the years here to be your happiest

And knowing that for now this will be your new home makes you calm, much more than you were in Milano, always suspicious and sad

"The house also missed you" the boy says ironically, placing the suitcase at the entrance; you giggle, rolling your eyes as you take off your coat “And I missed the house” you say feeling more confident. Kaiser lets out a laugh as he motions for you to follow him into the kitchen, which you do. As you walk, nothing seems to have changed except just the color of the walls, which have now gone from light white to grey

“You didn't have dinner, right?” he asks going towards the fridge "No. I didn't have the chance" you admit, but in fact you weren't really hungry, still with an upset stomach after the fight "I suspected. Sit down, I'll make you something" he says taking some eggs, but you shake your head before approaching and taking the food in your hand "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. Have you eaten?" you ask, and he glares at you, almost hurt "Don't worry about that, I'll eat something later. Sit down" he says moving his head, and you're about to reply when he shushes you again "This is your home again, you don't have to well done" he says, and a smile tugs at your lips before you sigh, finally sitting down

Kaiser starts preparing something, and you watch as he moves around the kitchen. You were used to seeing him cook, but seeing him do it at his house with the knowledge that it was yours again had a different flavor. You wanted to ask him so many things, but above all if he really wasn't often at home or had only told you to convince you. The company, appreciated above all, would not have hurt you like someone else “Mihya” you call to him, and he turns around “Hm?” he murmurs, returning to his work "Are you really not home often?" you ask, thinking about it "I know you guys are playing some kind of league right now, so you're busy. I also saw that you had a game today, but in Berlin" you say, hiding the fact that you had this afternoon's game against PxG seen in full “When are you leaving next?” you ask

Kaiser places a plate of eggs and vegetables in front of you, before sitting down on the chair in front of yours "I'm often not at home because of the championship, yes. Today it was a coincidence that I was playing in Berlin, but in general I go to hotels with the rest of the team. The next game should be in Cologne tomorrow afternoon, so I should leave tonight, but-" he says, and you interrupt him almost immediately "You should get ready if you have to leave, then" you say worriedly, but he shakes his head "-But, since you have arrived, I will leave alone and ask to come back first. You are here, and I don't like leaving you alone no matter how much you want it. The team will leave tonight and I will join them by train tomorrow morning" he says, putting down his head on the table on his folded arms

The carrot you were eating gets stuck in your throat, and a sense of embarrassment spreads around you. You look at Kaiser, who gave up something so important just for you, who looks at you with an attention he has never paid to anyone since you've known him. The gaze is returned, and a strange sense of tension stops between you

You want to let win your intrusive thoughts that tell you to kiss him and ask him why you had sex win, but you resist for the shred of dignity you have left. But, in your eyes at least, he also seems to be fighting the urge to do something

"You shouldn't have. But thank you, Mihya" you say trying to get everything back to normal, but his damned look doesn't seem to give in even as the words return to compensate for the silence

You eat in silence, glancing at each other as you finish your meal. Without really noticing it, it's later than you expected: you both enter the room you used a few years ago, and everything is left as you left it, only some of his prizes have taken their places on the shelves "I'll take them out as soon as I have a few minutes" he says, placing the suitcase on the floor "Don't worry, I like them. They're shiny, they reflect you" you say sitting on the floor, opening the suitcase which contains few stuff for a stay. Kaiser notices this immediately "You didn't bring much stuff" he says, sitting down on the bed, his knees a few centimeters from your face "I know. I'll buy something here or have the rest shipped to me somehow from Milano" you say, sticking out a underwear vest, which you decided on the spot that you will use as pajamas. Micheal nods almost immediately as he watches you place some of your things in the room. You missed these four walls, you missed everything and especially Kaiser

Right now, the situation you're in is even more confusing: even though you know he'll be out of town a lot, sooner or later the topic of that night will come up. And probably, knowing both yourself and him, other topics will come up in the heat of the moment. Your goal is to put this situation off for as long as possible, because adding this to your already stressed state would be fatal for you. At the same time though, you need so many answers that you can't count them on the fingers of your hands. However, you also need answers from yourself, because after a fresh breakup you already find yourself having such strange thoughts with the last person in the world you should have them about, your best friend

Best friend. Kaiser has been your best friend for a long time, but what are you actually to him? His best friend, he would tell you, the girl who is closest to him at the moment. But how can you still consider someone you slept with as your best friend and with whom you have always sought physical contact ever since, even as simple as holding hands?. The way you loved each other that night wasn't best friends, not even fuck buddies because otherwise you wouldn't have given it any weight once it happened. That gesture was dictated by love, and it scared you

Love had reduced you to something insignificant, and above all, loving Kaiser wasn't possible: he was your best friend, or at least that was the label you felt like saying. Loving him meant going back to that time many years ago where you had desperately loved him but never done anything to call him yours. You were a little girl at the time, now you were a woman and, above all, in the midst of a world class scandal. Everything indicated that there was no possibility, even remote, of being able to love him again. Then, you didn't really know what he thought about it, and on the one hand you preferred to stay in the dark so as not to face other problems

You were confused, maybe he was seriously having fewer problems than you were having everything. Maybe it really was all in your head

“Y/n” Micheal says, snapping you out of your thoughts that were seriously going to the worst “Sorry I got distracted, tell me” you say folding some sweatshirts, putting them in your new closet “I'm seriously happy to see you here again. I'd rather you be alone but well than with that crazy guy" Kaiser says, getting up from the bed as he approaches you. You watch him, his hands pulling you into a hug again, slower this time, as if he's taking his time: his arms slide along your sides, practically ending up on the outer part of your lower back, his head resting on your shoulder

You would like to say that his words don't have as much effect on you, that it's not a problem like all the others already on the list, but you would be lying. It's doing exactly what makes you even more confused, making your brain feel like goo

"Mihya, I-" you say embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to such an important sentence like his "You don't need to tell me anything. Let me stay like this for a few more minutes before I go to bed" he says against your neck, and now even that little bit of brain you had is now officially gone. You sigh perplexedly, now placing your arms around his neck as you let yourself be lulled by the beautiful sensation

“I'm glad to be back here. I missed all this” you say, caught up in the moment. You didn't tell a lie, because actually the first months away here were extremely complex, and still remained so after years. You fiercely loved the feeling of living with Kaiser, but for a long time you had had to hide it from Gabriel, thus minimizing trips to Germany and especially to the blond and blue boy's house

"I missed you instead" he says almost in a whisper, but it reaches your ears straight like a blow, an electric shock, straight to your heart

Maybe the situation was even more complicated than you imagined until a little while ago

Behind the Vale Chapter 13

ISAT & Two Hat spoilers below! CW: Suicidal Ideation, Panic Attack, Mania, Slight body horror stuff?

[You find yourself frozen in place in the next town you both visit… there's a large sign on a store with the words "Body Craft" adorned across it… Your hand slowly raises to your face, pressing against your starry cheek. Your mind races with vision of what you could look like, ways you could be your own person, instead of the lesser version of another… You suddenly jump some as a hand is slapped onto your shoulder.]

"Vale!… You okay, Vay?… You kinda spaced there." [She asked in a worried tone, looking to the sign you were pondering over. She took a second to put it together before smiling.]

"Oh! That's a great idea actually! Might be able to help out with your uhh… starry situation!… Though that stuff usually takes months doesn't it?"

"O-Oh no, just… thinking to myself, why would anyone ever do such a thing? Who would want to change this beautiful face after all~?" [She gives an unimpressed look, clearly not buying it.]

"Riiiiight… Tell you what, once we find Bonnie, we'll settle some place with a body crafter for a while. How's that sound?" [You roll your eyes, trying to seem uninterested.]

"If you insist, I don't know why you're so eager to get changed. All you need is a little make over and you'd be stunning, darling~." [You proclaim with a wink. She laughs heavily at that one, patting you on the back.]

"Hah! Sorry to disappoint but I'm not much of the 'fabulous' type, like you."

"Reaaaally? You do such a good job of hiding it~."

"Don't push your luck now, Stars." [She teased back, a slight seriousness creeping at the back of her statement.]

"Fiiiiiine, fine, I'll drop it~... So any leads yet?"

"Yeah actually, someone said their friend lives a couple villages away and they had the saviors there for a big celebration recently! We'd only be a few days behind if we hustle over there!"

"O-Oh! Th-That's wonderful news~!" [You struggle out behind the best fake smile you can muster… it clearly wasn't very convincing.]

"… Are… Vale please just tell me what happened. Are they the ones you were running from?…" [Her hand slowly raises to reach your shoulder again, but you knock it away before she can get close, taking a step back.]

"I-I… I can't talk about this…" [You shut down, hugging yourself while taking a few steps away.]

"Well we have to talk about it sometime, Vale! We're looking for them after all! What's gonna happen when we finally run into th-"

"I DON'T KNOW! OKAY?! I DON'T KNOW AND I… I… I can't do this…" [You shout at the top of your lungs before falling to a whisper, Nille taking a step back with a slightly frightened look on their face… everyone else nearby just stopping in their tracks and watching you, cautiously… We… We need to leave Vale, get a hold of yourself and go… We knew this was a bad idea… You turn and start to walk away, you hear Nille's voice calling after you, but this only causes you to go into a full blown sprint.]

"VAAAAALE!!!"

--------------------------------------------------

[After what felt like hours of running, your sprint finally slows to a stumble. You pant frantically and lean against a tree. You glance back to see if you were followed, and spot no signs of Nille. Your tired body slumps over, sitting on the ground before lightly bonking your head to the tree a few times. Stupid, stupid STUPID!... We knew this was a bad idea, we KNEW we were getting too close... So what's the plan now?]

[You sit in silence for a moment... You gaze upon your surroundings and blink, noting it looking oddly familiar... You look up to find the tree you're beside is absolutely massive... You ran directly to a favor tree, without even trying. You start to let out a laugh... and then you laugh harder... and harder. Before long you're cackling maniacally, holding your head in your hands, tears flowing from your eyes. We're shaking... we're too loud, we're losing it, CALM DOWN VALE!! You place a hand to your chest, taking several deep, looooong breaths. It takes a full dozen to even start calming down, but you finally catch your breath, wiping your tears once more.]

"Well... We're here all over again... not an ounce of hope left in us, ready to give it all up once more... maybe third time's the charm~." [You let out a defeated chuckle and start to look around for your favorite leaf. After you scour through the various fallen leaves for a surprising amount of time, as none were catching your eye, you finally spot one. It's crumpled up and shriveled, looking like it's been trampled on several times. This leaf has been through a lot and it's still holding on. This leaf is the one you will use.]

"Well... Here goes nothing... and if this backfires again, maybe I'll just wish for it all to end~! Try messing that one up, universe~!" [You giggle to yourself, though you know that's far less of a joke than you make it out to be. You take another deep breath and sigh it out, whispering into the leaf 3 times.]

"I wish... for a life of my own."

[The leaf is then delicately folded by your hands, and dropped at the foot of the tree... Now you simply wait. The sun was high above and beating down rather mercilessly, which didn't often bother you... but you did start to feel a bit toastier than usual...]

"Huh... is... is it working?..." [The question hangs in the air as you look around, then down at yourself, not noticing anything yet... but you do begin to sweat more, the heat growing to very uncomfortable levels... Wasn't it cold when you got here?...]

"HRRK!" [An intense fire builds in your chest, feeling like a hot coal stuffed beside your heart... You've felt this before, swallowing that star, burning your insides, you're feeling it all again!]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" [Your voice shrieks out, your hands frantically gripping and digging at your chest, it has to come out, you have to get rid of it!! YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT!! Your hand digs into the star plastered across your chest, going inside of your body and searing as it finds the fiery star inside.]

[You cry out through the immense pain, clutching the star with all the strength you can muster! You yank violently as your hand slips back out of your chest, the bright, burning, super nova of a little star burning into your palm before you drop it in front of you.]

[Your whole body is shaking violently, you're panting, your vision is going blurry... your head smacks into the ground as your body can't remain upright... the darkness takes hold of your vision as you pass out.]

[arlerts-angel]

HIII!!! i got an idea from a scenario that happened to a Hockey Armin bot from j.ai (i'm not a very mentally sane person.) and I'd like to request it!!:

well, so armin!afab reader had just started dating when after a game, eren and jean "were driving them home”, which ended up on eren and jean putting aphrodisiacs in reader's and armin's drink, and they ended up fucking on the backseat of the car, while the boys recorded it..

note: omggg~ this one's long but i wanted to try something different! i hope you enjoy this nonnie ♡ please let me know what you think of this one!

cw: hockey player!armin x fem!reader, drinking alcohol, voyeurism, filming, masturbation (fem), unprotected piv sex, pet names used: beautiful, pretty girl, angel, reader is referred to as girlfriend

a loud buzzer sounds off in the chilly arena, signaling the last break of the game. there's 15 minutes left to catch breaths, tend to any minor injuries, and work on plays. you rush to the bottom of the stands to catch your boyfriend in time for a quick pep talk. you scan each jersey for his number until your eyes fall on it, lucky number 13 in black and white.

"hey! you guys are doing great!" you say with a smile. armin turns around and looks at you, taking his mouth guard out. "we're down one point which could cost us the game if we're not careful," he smiles back at you. "but thank you. it means a lot that you came tonight." the 5'6 blondie hugs you tight. you return the hug and gently grab his face, looking him in the eyes. "i know you've got this."

you leave him with a kiss on the cheek and return to your seat so he can spend the break with his team, planning their win. eren jaeger, the center of the team, and left defenseman jean kirstein, approach armin. "we're gonna go get drinks later regardless of the outcome of this game, care to join?" eren asks, swinging his arm around armin. "i would but my girl's here, i don't wanna blow her off." jean nudges armin. "c'mon man! bring her with. i'm sure she won't mind a little detour." armin scans the stands for her, his lips curving into a small smile when he finds her. the buzzer sounds again, signaling the start of the third and final play. "i'll talk to her after the game." he puts his mouth guard in and returns to the ice.

eren stands in the center of the ice, facing off the opposing team. the referee drops the puck between the players. eren quickly gains possession of it, pulling it backwards towards jean. he takes the puck into the head of the stick and swings, sinking into the opposing team's net. cheers and claps erupt from supporting fans at jean's lucky shot. the teams are tied now, but there's still time left to secure victory.

the final faceoff begins with eren, once again, gaining possession of the puck. this time, the team decides to ride the clock and pass the puck around to each other, sending the puck into the offensive net just before time runs out. final score, 4-3 for jaeger's team.

you cheer for your boyfriend's team's success and wait for the crowd of people to leave. after the stands clear, you find armin talking with eren and jean. you decide to just let them chat, taking pictures of the scoreboard while you wait. eren catches a glimpse of you from his peripherals. "you here for a picture, sweetheart?" he coos. armin turns and sees you, offering an apologetic smile. "eren! ...that's my girlfriend." armin groans.

"ah– sorry about that." eren sighs, feeling embarrassed at his dismissal of you. "i'm eren and this is jean." he slaps jean's chest playfully. you offer a small wave and smile. "i'm y/n, nice to meet you both." eren looks you up and down. "i don't think armin's mentioned it but we're planning on getting some drinks, you're welcome to join us. we won't go too crazy, promise." he smirks. "sure! you guys deserve it, after all!" you say happily. "i'm gonna run to the restroom before we leave." you kiss his cheek and make your exit.

eren nudges armin again. "so that's your girl, huh? she's cute, man." armin sighs. "eren–" "don't worry dude, i'm not trying to meddle. she suits you." he smiles at armin, patting him on the shoulder reassuringly.

you meet up with the group of boys, who are now showered and dressed in casual clothes. "i know the perfect place. armin, i'll send you the address. meet us there." eren prompty sends armin the address to a bar a few minutes across town. armin nods. "alright. see ya there." eren pats his shoulder before walking away with jean. armin turns to you, seeming a little nervous. "are you sure you want us to join them? i could just tell them i'm tired." he offers. "no! it's totally fine. i'm kind of excited that eren invited me. i would've been fine with you going without me, but it was really nice of him to extend the invitation." you reassure him. he grabs your hand and smiles. "alright then, off we go."

a few minutes later, your uber arrives to the bar eren suggested. you and armin step out and into the bar. eren and jean wave you and armin down. "hey lovebirds! we already ordered drinks for ya." jean nods his head at the drinks on the table. "oh, thanks!" you smile. you take a sip of the cocktail. armin does the same. eren and jean share a glance at each other that you and armin don't notice. "so, y/n... how long have you been seeing armin?" eren asks slyly. "oh, uh, officially? about a month or so." you reply. he nods at your admission. you take another sip of the cocktail and eren grins.

20 minutes passes. the four of you make casual conversation about different things, talking as if you've known each other for years. armin wraps his arm around your waist and whispers in your ear. "you look beautiful. thank you again for coming to the game." you smile and kiss his cheek. "wouldn't miss it, handsome." you reply softly.

45 minutes, now. armin pulled you into his lap tweny minutes ago and has spent the past 5 running his hands over your body. your thighs, your hips, the bottom of your stomach. he even brushes his fingers across the hem of your skirt. you can feel his dick pressing against your ass. he nuzzles his face into your neck, kissing and circling it with his tongue. "you're coming home with me tonight, right?" he asks quietly. you nod in response. "don't know if i can wait til we get home." he whispers, sliding his hand between your thighs.

an hour has passed. "it's getting late, friends. i say we pack it up here and get home. how about you two ride with us? i'll drop you off at armin's place." eren offers. "you've done enough for us for the night. we appreciate it." armin says. "come on bro, it'll be fun." jean encourages. "when's the last time we just went ridin' around?" armin chuckles. "it has been a while, but–" "we'd be happy to." you interject, nudging your boyfriend's arm playfully.

eren hops into the driver's seat, jean in the passenger. you and armin sit in the back of the dark car. armin whispers in your ear. "my pretty girl... gonna let me play with your pussy in my friend's car?" you shiver. "armin! they'll see... or hear." you whisper. he drapes his jacket over your lap. "don't worry about it, it's too dark. they can't see anything." he replies, sliding his hand down your skirt. his slender finger traces your slit before sliding inside, collecting your juices. "stay quiet for me, angel. don't wanna get caught." you nod and sharply inhale as he begins to trace circles around your clit. you squirm around in the seat trying to contain yourself.

"you alright back there?" eren adjusts the rear view mirror, glancing at you and armin. "we're good, thanks." armin replies, still circling your bud. your heart is pounding hard against your chest knowing you could be caught. the adrenaline sends you close to your orgasm quickly. "armin-" you whisper, "i'm-" he hushes you and nods. "i know. we're taking a backroad, get in my lap." "hm?? your lap?" you question. he nods. you slide the coat to him as he unbuttons his jeans, freeing his cock.

you get into his lap and slide his length into your soaked cunt slowly. his hands on your hips guide you up and down his cock. it's unspoken, but you both know you need to be as nonchalant as possible. the car is big enough for a good amount of space between you two and them. eren and jean aren't stupid, though. they've been watching this whole time, recording. jean adjusts eren's phone, making sure he's getting a good view.

"dude, this feels fucked up." jean admits. "what's more fucked up, jean? them fucking in my car or us recording it?" eren scoffs. this makes jean ponder. "touché." he grumbles. "besides, i won't let anything happen to this vide or let anyone know this even happened. it's for my enjoyment." eren adds, his eyes still on the road. "don't act like your dick doesn't want to jump out of your pants either, kirstein." jean rolls his eyes.

you continue riding armin's cock, but not for long before the knot in your stomach comes undone. your legs stiffen as you quickly reach your orgasm, tightening your walls around him. this sends armin over the edge too, you feel his cock twitch as he fills your pussy with his cum. you shift back into the seat next to him as he adjusts himself back into his pants.

"look's like we're here, friends. thanks for a fun evening." eren says snidely and winks, as he approaches armin's apartment complex. "thanks for the ride, eren." armin says as he opens the door and nods. "here, take this." you offer him a $20 bill. he shakes his head. "nah. 'preciate it though, sweetheart. i got all the payment i need." you smile awkwardly and nod.

you both send eren and jean off with a wave, watching him drive away. then, armin grabs your waist and kisses your forehead. "round two?" he asks hopefully, smiling down at you. you flash him a smile and follow him upstairs.

Chapter 3: And The Journey Begins

pairing: fairy!felix x fairy!reader

Series Masterlist

Word count: 1.5k

summary: A fairy gets their wings once they're 13. A normal one at least. You're 23, and still without any. This leaves you without a mate, because who would love a wingless fairy? So when you decide to leave, it's quite the surprise to find a fairy with a wing missing…

warnings: reader has a swearing problem lmao, FUNKY LITTLE CAMEO FROM ANOTHER AUSSIE :3, felix is a cutie NOT PROOFREAD

“You heard me. I’m coming with you.”

“Didn’t you say the exact opposite last night?”

“... I mean yeah, but I can change my mind if I want to.” He couldn’t tell if you were kidding. Even you couldn’t believe what you were agreeing to. You had thought

“In that case… sure! You can come.” It surprised you a little with how easily accepting he was of your change of mind.

"But just a warning. This journey won't be easy. I’ve lived in the Bush for long enough to know. Are you sure you're ready for it?" He nodded his head confidently, smiling at you before speaking up. It scared you that he knew more about where the two of you were going, yet had no idea how to handle himself in the Bush.

"I would walk my way through the gates of hell to get my wing back. I'm not about to let anything stop me now." Your heart melted slightly by his brave and determined outlook. It was quite obvious that he probably couldn’t handle anything of that degree, but the enthusiasm was not unwelcome. Not to mention his beautiful smile. And those eyes! That bright and lively spark in them...

"Alright then. Let's get going."

“Let’s just hope that we don't get lost on the way.” You teased with a dry chuckle, but he laughed along with you. You couldn't help but think that he was just so adorable when he laughed.

“I really appreciate you coming with me. Just so you know.” His eyes were fixed on your face, and you almost felt a blush creeping up your cheeks. Almost.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever… I’m only doing it for myself anyway.”

"That's a funny way of saying that I'm so gorgeous, that you couldn't help but come with me." You couldn't help it. His teasing made you want to tease right back. It also made part of you want to tear him apart, but that doesn’t have any value to your conversation, so you keep that hidden.

"Just don't come crying to me when you miss your mom or get a splinter." You said, trying to hold back your grin. Now that you were both on the same page, getting along proved to be much easier. His warm presence made it so easy to talk to him.

"Let's get going, yeah? Which direction are we going in?"

"Well actually, in the story, it says that you have to collect the clues to get the key, which unlocks the door to The Heart of Eris." Right, because that's what happens in stories.

"So where's the first location?"

"Uhh, which way is Glebe?"

"East."

"So that means we go West."

"And where does that lead us?"

"A nice little fairy neighbourhood. Much smaller than our villages."

"Sure. I'll lead us West then." And finally the journey began. As you ventured into the unknown, the atmosphere between you and your unexpected companion remained surprisingly light-hearted. The landscape around you transformed as you headed west, entering the deeper areas of the outback. The scenery gradually shifted, and you found yourselves walking through dried paths. The air was filled with the sounds of nature, and the warmth of the sun peeked through the leaves overhead. As you continued your journey westward, the landscape became more rugged, the vegetation sparse and tough, adapted to the harsh conditions. The sun beat down relentlessly, casting long shadows across the dusty trail.

"So, any idea what we're looking for in this fairy neighbourhood?" you asked, breaking the silence that had settled between you as you walked. He scratched his head thoughtfully.

"Well, according to the story, the first clue should be hidden somewhere ‘among those people who wander the night, and they live off no sunlight’, whatever that means.”

“...huh?”

“Yeah, I don’t know either… welp, we’ll just figure it out when we get there.” You weren’t sure what scared you more. The fact that he didn’t even know what you were meant to be looking for, or that he doesn’t seem to mind. You probably should have considered this a bit further. But it's too late now. Plus, you don't exactly want to go back and leave his cute face to die. 

As you continued to walk, the landscape began to change yet again. The terrain became less harsh, and signs of life started to appear. Small patches of vibrant greenery dotted the landscape, and the air felt cooler as you approached what seemed like a small fairy neighbourhood, just like he said. You finally arrived at the outskirts of the quaint town and it was indeed much smaller than your villages, with little cottages nestled among the trees. The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, and the sound of laughter and chatter drifted through the air.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Felix looked around in awe of the place. Such a small place, yet the beauty the landscape held was immense.

"Yeah, it is... we should find somewhere to stay, like an inn." You suggested, and he turned back to face you, a determined smile painting his face. But as you searched, there was one thing you guys didn't account for.

"So you're telling me... that you're a fairy... without wings?" The receptionist questioned, unbelieving of your story. "And this fella here had one of his taken?"

"Look ma'am, I know it sounds unbelievable, but I swear to you, it's true."

"Uh, yeah right. I'll let you stay once you stop lying. Unless you aren't a fairy at all. Then I can't let you in." The frustration became evident on your face and you clenched your fist to stop yourself from punching something or someone. Before you could reply, Felix stepped in to talk for you.

"I'm sorry, but we're doing something *really* important, and we need somewhere to stay a few nights."

"I know, and I'm saying, I can't let you stay. She for sure is not a fairy, and you're missing your wing. You could be dangerous creatures for all I know." God, this lady was insufferable. A sudden boost of confidence led you to step in front of Felix and lean over the counter to talk some sense into this woman. At least, that's what you were meant to do.

"Listen here, you little shit, my friend and I have been through a lot, probably more than a measly receptionist, and you fucking around doesn't help. Honestly, people like you are such cunts, like let us the fuck in you son of a bi-"

And before you knew it, both your asses were on the floor outside the inn.

"Stay out, pests." The gruff voice came from behind you and the door slammed in your face.

"Nice going, Y/N."

"Whatever, this place was shit anyways..." You mumbled under your breath. You were the one messing up now, and you weren't sure you liked it. Usually, you didn't pay mind to others' disappointment, but Felix was different. He sighed deeply, getting up and dusting himself off.

"It's okay, we'll try somewhere else." Unfortunately, you soon realised that everywhere you tried would give the same reaction. For hours the two of you went around everywhere, to every inn, pub, even a farmstead! But your efforts were to no avail. The two of you walked the streets in silence, both in deep thought as to what to do next.

"I mean, you still have your stuff, we can set up a little sleeping place outside the town."

"There is literally one blanket and I'm not sharing it with you. And we're not alternating either, there's no danger here."

"... they could try and kill us in our sleep, but whatever I guess..."

"We wouldn't kill you!" Felix let out a small noise at the sudden voice, and you snapped your head to look at the source. It was a young man, seemingly around both your age, his black hair framing his face perfectly. His smile was cheshire, and his eyes held a sense of mischievousness.

"Uh, thanks..? Who are you though..?"

"I'm Jake! I've been away for a while, but the people here are nice enough not to kill you!"

“That’s… great?” He smiled wider this time, holding his hand out for either of you to take. Felix, being the friendly man he is, takes it without hesitation, shaking it vigorously.

“Can you please help us? We need somewhere to stay.”

“I mean… I could let you stay at our holiday house, but I’m not sure if my friends would be okay with that-”

“Please?”

“... Okay fine. But if they don’t like you, that’s not my fault~!” 

“Yes, let’s go!” Your surprise knew no bounds. How and why was Felix so quick to trust?

“Felix, wait-” You grabbed his arm, and pulled yourself up to reach his ear. “This might be dangerous.” You whispered, keeping a close eye on Jake.

“Do you have any other ideas? Because I don’t” You held your breath, trying to find a reason to make him stay. Oh, how stupid you must’ve looked. Rejecting a kind (but strange) offer of help when that’s what you’ve been looking for.

“We don’t bite, I promise you~” One last time, you took a good look at Jake. He didn’t seem to impose any threat and his offer seemed genuine.

“Fine. But I swear to god, if you pull some weird ass shit-”

“Chill, chill, hahahaha~ you’re in good hands.”

Elbert Greetia: Chapter 13

Chapter 12

♡———♡

Kate: I... don't want Lord Elbert to get hurt anymore.

Kate: I'll stay by his side.

Kate: I'll think about how to prevent Lord Elbert from getting hurt anymore...

Alfons: ...I had a rough idea when you came looking for me... is that so?

Alfons: ...Well, do as you please. However...

Alfons: Let me just say that you shouldn't underestimate his attachment to something that he once "desired."

I've seen this resigned smile on Alfons' face several times before.

My insistence might seem reckless to him.

(But... I don't want to give up. I want to find a way for Elbert to stop getting hurt.)

(Even though I've only just learned a small part of his past...)

The moon is now hidden behind clouds, and the pitch-black room reminds me of the deep, deep bottom of the ocean where light cannot reach.

The sound of lapping waves echoed from very far away...

*Back to Elbert's dream*

...The sound of lapping waves. The dream continues, even though I don't want to see it.

The me from back then stabbed the doctor in the chest with scissors.

Elbert: Ha... ha...

Even now, I can vividly remember the surging emotions.

At that time, I truly felt like I had become "beautiful."

I felt like I, the proof of sin, had cleared my mother's name.

I thought this was what I had always wanted.

Elbert: Ha... ha... ha...

Suddenly the door opened, and a boy with wet, raven hair - who later called himself Alfons - found me.

I don't clearly remember what we talked about.

I only remember what I asked him in a hurry.

Elbert: Hey - am I beautiful now?

As I ran breathlessly down the hallway, my fingertips trembled subtly with anticipation and excitement.

(To Father)

(I have to tell Father.)

My heart pounded like crazy.

I believed without a doubt that my father would praise me.

--Thinking back now, it was a ridiculous misunderstanding.

Elbert: Father...!

My father's eyes widened when he saw me, wounded.

Hugh: Wh-what... is that blood on you...?

Elbert: The doctor... he attacked me.

Elbert: He tried to do to me what my real father did to my mother.

Hugh: ...

Young me didn't notice my father's face turning pale.

Elbert: So... I killed him. ...Hey, Father.

Elbert: Have I atoned for my sins?

(Will Mother... will she forgive me?)

(Will she smile at me again?)

(Can we regain our happiness?)

Hugh: Ha... haha... I'm going crazy...

Elbert: ...Father?

Hugh: Stop it... Don't come any closer, don't look at me with those eyes.

Hugh: If you're going to beg, then give her back. Give me back Cecilia, give me back my happiness!!

Father's anguished cries pierced my ears.

It was then that I finally realized.

In Father's eyes, reflecting my own image—there was only disgust and fear.

Hugh: Ah, no... It's not your fault...

Hugh: It's not your fault... I know... I know...

Father coughed as if struggling with himself, and glared at me with tear-filled eyes.

Hugh: No... It's your fault that I've become like this...

Hugh: It's because you... you won't let me forget the sadness and the hatred...

Hugh: That's why I...

Hugh: ...I just watched silently as you were hurt, Elbert.

Elbert: Huh...?

All emotion drained from Father's face. There was no trace of the gentle, kind father I knew.

Hugh: Ah, yes. I know what the maids and butlers are doing to you.

Hugh: Only when you're being tormented does my wretched feeling ease a little.

Hugh: Even when I hear that you've been attacked... I can't pity you.

Hugh: When I hear that you fought back, I smile and think, "Oh, good," but I can't hug you...

Elbert: Fa... Father...

The cold barrel of the gun swayed back and forth as it pointed in my direction.

Hugh: I... I...!!

Hugh: I can't stand this hideous self anymore...

Covered in the blood of two, I finally understood.

No matter what I did, I could never make them happy.

This appearance, praised as beautiful, was a fake. My true self was repulsive and ugly.

That's why—I sought, I craved, I collected.

Beautiful things that would match the warmth of Father's love and the happy days I stole from him.

In a quiet room where the sound of lapping waves could be heard, I pierced the back of a butterfly with a needle.

I obtained another beautiful thing.

Surely, this will make them happy.

Surely. Surely...

-

After my conversation with Alfons, I went to Elbert's room to check on him.

I knocked softly on the door, but there was no answer.

(If he's asleep, I'll leave right away...)

Thinking that, I quietly turned the doorknob–.

Kate: ...!?

Suddenly, an arm reached out, pulled me into the room, and embraced me.

Kate: L-Lord.... Elbert... I'm sorry, at this hour...

Kate: I was worried about you after what happened...

Elbert: ...I was worried because you were gone.

Elbert: Usually, I wake up at the slightest sound...

He coughed regretfully, then asked me from within his embrace.

Elbert: ...Where did you go?

His heavy voice whispered in my ear, as if questioning me.

Kate: I was talking with Alfons for a bit...

I couldn't bring myself to say it was about Elbert, but I couldn't lie completely either, so I gave a vague answer. The arm around my back tightened slightly.

Elbert: ...Just the two of you?

Kate: Eh...? Um... yes.

Elbert: ...I don't want you to be alone with anyone but me.

Elbert: It would trouble me if you gave your heart to someone else...

Still holding me, Elbert whispered in a monotone voice.

Kate: Is that really necessary...?

Elbert: ...Yes. ...It is.

Elbert: ...I wish no one but me was reflected in your eyes.

His breathy voice grazed my ear, and I unconsciously felt my cheeks heat up.

(I wish this was just jealousy.)

The moment I thought that, a sharp pain pierced my chest.

(I wish the reason Elbert wants me was simply because he loves me.)

My chest ached as if pricked by needles.

I couldn't move, and my breathing quickened.

(I wish he wanted to be happy with me...)

My feelings overflowed uncontrollably, clogging my throat–.

(Ah, I see... I...)

(I want to be happy with him.)

That sweet and painful emotion spilled out like blood flowing from a wound.

(I want to be happy with you... Elbert.)

(Because I love you, who is so kind it's almost sad.)

Elbert: ...Kate?

Kate: ...

Elbert tries to look closer at me as I stay silent and my breath hitches.

(...I can't.)

My heart has already been completely stolen by Elbert.

(I can't let him notice.)

(If I become his before I can free him from the act of collecting beautiful things...)

(I'll surely never be able to save him again.)

I'll become just like the other collectibles, an "unbeautiful" thing decorating that room.

Because seeing that would be his atonement.

Elbert: Look at me.

Kate: ...

A smooth hand touches my cheek and lifts my face.

(Elbert...)

Our eyes meet, his always filled with sadness, and I realize that the story I just heard was a reality in the past.

Thinking of the people who inflicted "filth" on his bloodline, "beauty" on his appearance, and hurt him while claiming love, and Elbert who accepted it all, I'm filled with anger, sadness, and helplessness.

Elbert: ...Why do you look so sad?

(Your parents' deaths aren't your fault.)

(No matter your origin or appearance, there's no sin in it.)

(So... please stop hurting yourself.)

I desperately swallow the words that rise to my throat.

I clench my teeth to hold back the tears that threaten to spill.

Kate: It's nothing... Don't worry.

Elbert: ...You're lying.

Kate: It's true.

I force a smile, wanting to reassure Elbert, who is especially sensitive to sadness.

(Telling him now that I know about his past and denying his guilt...)

(Would surely hurt him even more.)

In reality, two of his loved ones suffered and died.

And he's been carrying the responsibility for that all this time. That's a fact.

To deny the meaning of the days he's spent atoning with easy words like "You were never guilty" would hurt him as much as any violence.

(What I can do now is...)

I looked directly into Elbert's blue eyes.

Kate: Lord Elbert.

Elbert: ...What?

Kate: From now on... tell me more about yourself.

Elbert: About me...? Why...?

(Atoning for sins...)

(It's supposed to be for the day when you'll be forgiven someday... right?)

I want to believe that there's a glimmer of hope entrusted in Elbert's actions—killing his kind heart, collecting beautiful things, and continuing to hurt himself.

(What can I do to make Elbert forgive himself and end this atonement?)

(What will save you—I want a clue.)

(That's why I need to know more about your heart.)

Kate: ...You wouldn't give your heart to someone you don't know well, would you?

Kate: So, please tell me more about how you feel...

Elbert: ...If I tell you, will you become mine?

Kate: That... I don't know yet.

Kate: But it will surely lead to more possibilities.

Elbert: ...I understand. I'll try my best to convey my feelings to you.

The strength leaves the arms that were holding me, and my breathing eases.

(Ah...)

Even though I should be relieved, I also feel a pang of loneliness, and I hurriedly lower my gaze to the floor.

Kate: Well then, I'll go back to my room. Good night, Lord Elbert.

Elbert: Good night...

I turn to leave the room, but then...

Elbert: ...Kate.

Kate: Yes...?

His voice calls out to my back as if chasing me, and I reflexively turn around.

Elbert: ...Saying good night to you makes me "happy."

Kate: ...?

My heart pounds heavily.

Elbert doesn't seem to notice my agitation and tilts his head slightly.

Elbert: Is this the right way to say it...?

(Ah... Ah, I see.)

(He's telling me how he feels, just like I asked him to.)

Kate: Ye... Yes, it is.

Kate: ...I'm happy too.

Elbert: ...I see. ...That's good.

Kate: ...Well then, excuse me.

I hurriedly leave the room, wanting to hide the pounding of my heart.

(I need to calm down...)

(Elbert's words just now were only in response to my request, to "obtain" me.)

I tell my agitated heart not to get its hopes up.

(But...)

(At least he harbors some affection for me, right?)

Enough to tell me directly that "saying good night makes me happy."

(That makes me really, truly happy...)

(...And yet...)

It was painful that I couldn't be completely happy about it.

Chapter 14

If you’d like to support my translations, feel free to buy me a coffee here! :)

[itsscromp]

You're such a tease

Alright, lets start of this experiment with Johnny and Bridget. Warnings: PG-13 content and slightly suggestive themes. Word count:2K

Johnny had gotten some time off from work, How was he going to spend it you may ask, Why treat his lovely amazing wife to a getaway up in the mountains. Nice and quiet, only the two of them. He knocked on the bedroom door with an envelope behind his back.

"Hey my Lennan" He smiled (sweetheart)

"Johnny" She smiled up from her task when she saw him. She missed him for many months, so it was good for him to be home.

"I got us a surprise" He smiled mischievously.

"Oh, What do you have planned ??" She perked up.

"Close your eyes" He smiled.

She raised an eyebrow but then covered her eyes with her hands. "Ok..."

He then pulled out the envelope. "Ok you can open them"

She looked down and saw it, Happily taking the envelope, opening and pulling out the contents, Inside revealed an Airbnb booking confirmation.

Her bottom lip wobbled as she looked up at him in glee. "Really ??"

"Really" He nodded.

She smiled even more and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "I love you so much"

"I love you too lass" He smiled and pressed a kiss on her head.

She couldn't wait, she soon began to pack, finding her... pretty set of underwear she recently bought for just an occasion like this, she knew Johnny would get flustered over it.

Soon they were both packed and off they went. "It's been too long, I can't wait to spend a week with just you my love" He smiled, looking at her briefly before back at the road.

"Me too Johnny, I really missed you so much" She smiled and looked at him, reaching over and giving his forearm a gentle, lovingly squeeze.

The two shared a nice conversation as the car made it's way up the mountains, Soon after the slight twists and turns, they finally made it.

"Oh my gosh... Johnny it's beautiful" Bridget smiled.

"As beautiful as you" He smiled and kissed her.

"You go find the keys, I'll go see if i can get the power and hot water started ok ??"

"Ok" The two then hopped out of the car and Johnny went behind the cabin to find the circuit board. Bridget then followed the instructions and found the key under a fake rock. She entered inside and took in her surroundings, The place was just so beautiful.

Johnny managed to get the power running and the hot water boiling, entering inside and wrapping his arms around her from behind. "How are you liking it ??"

"It's very rustic looking" She smiled and looked behind her, Swaying side to side softly.

"I love you so much..." Johnny smiled and leant in, Kissing her deeply and passionately.

Bridget could not imagine being with anyone else bar her husband. She couldn't have dreamed of anything better. "I love you too."

The two for the first couple of days just relaxed in each other's company, reading books to each other, playing board games with each other, cherishing every single moment. But one day, Bridget was feeling a little flirtatious, she hadn't seen her loving husband for so long. So when she woke up and saw him sleeping, she went off to the shower, got her pretty set of underwear and took a quick shower.

Johnny woke up to the sounds of the water turning off and smiled tiredly seeing the light under the door. But when Bridget opened the door, He completely woke up fully, seeing her in her underwear. "Lennan..." His ears were turning bright pink.

She dried her hair and let it lay where it wanted. "Good morning Johnny" She smiled, acting oblivious on purpose.

Johnny was trying to compute at this point, But his face was heating up. "New... Ne... New underwear ??" Was all he could manage to get out.

"Oh, you noticed, yeah! Do you like it ??" She took the opportunity to give him a little spin, showing him all of it.

"Where did you get it ??..."

But she wasn't spilling the tea. "You don't need to know that" She smirked, walking over to the bed, swaying her hips each step.

"Well... Wherever you got them... You should go there more often." His face was now officially bright pink. "Is... Is it getting hot in here ??" He fanned his shirt a little.

"I have no idea what you mean" She smiled and leaned over, crawling into the bed and sitting on his lap.

Johnny wrapped his arms around her waist as they cuddled up. Don't stare, don't stare, don't stare he thought to himself.

She bats her eyelashes slowly at him. Even if he isn't doing great at eye contact at the moment. He looked up at her. "You... You look beautiful" He tried to cover up.

She smiled, That little devilish smile she gets. "Thank you John"

He then smirked and lowered his hand, smacking her lightly and lovingly on her butt. "Sorry, My hand slipped"

She jumped lightly and softly shrieked, Giggling and leaning down, tilting his head and kissing him. "Sure it did"

The two shared a deep passionate kiss for a little while before going on their day, Bridget staying in her underwear. If she could tease Johnny, then so can he. So late in the afternoon, he noticed the place "Needed firewood" So he went outside and took his shirt off, readying the axe and chopping wood.

Bridget knew he'd been out there for a bit, so she made some coffee and headed to the back porch. And the sight she was blessed with. Johnny with the axe, shirtless, sweaty, and with a determined face. She immediately went to place the cups down as her arms were now turning into Jell-O.

Johnny looked up and saw her. "Hey, Lennan" Smiling and waving. She could not get one word out, a stumbling mess that she was. "You ok there ??" He tried not to smirk, placing the axe down and walking to the porch.

"I... ahh..." She went completely blob

He pressed a kiss on her cheek and wiped his forehead. "Worked up a sweat there" He definitely did not flex his bicep as he did.

She was now completely red, Looking him up and down like he was a piece of meat. "Uh... Hu.." She vaguely pointed to the coffee she brought out. "Oh thank you" He smiled and went to take a sip.

"You sure your ok ?? You look a bit flustered" Still trying not to smirk.

"I'm ok... I'm actually... perfect..." She finally got out.

"Good, I'll bring in the firewood and take a shower" He smiled. Bridget was on muscle cloud 9. That was her husband !!!

So Johnny went and took a shower, but he wasn't done there. Like Bridget, He too walked out of the bathroom, only in his underwear. when Bridget saw him walk out. She was ready to melt, But she powered through it. "Ok come here you !!" He chuckled and went over to her.

She touched his chest, running her hands up his pecs and around his neck. "You're such a tease, You know that"

He chuckled "I have my moments, and only for you my love" He smiled.

She giggled and started to kiss his collarbone. Not wanting to leave the glorious sight in front of her.

"Question though" He smirked a little. "I just bought this underwear recently, Do they make my butt look good ??"

She looked up at him and blushed, taking a chance and looked down behind him. If she shared her thoughts she'd probably be sent to a certain internet jail.

"It looks... really good... Yeah"

He chuckled and flexed his butt a couple times. "I remember a few times I caught you staring"

"Hey, I..." She went even more red and reached out to smack it. "I have every right"

He chuckled again and let her, He knew what he was doing. She giggled and leant forward, deciding to full on grab his butt. "Nowhere to go now" she smirked at him.

"That you have" He smiled softly and gently reached up, cupping the cheeks of her face. "Your so beautiful" he whispered. She smiled softly at him, it meant the world to her every time he said that. "And your the most handsomest"

He gently stroked her cheeks with his thumbs, looking at her with so much love and wonder for her. "I wish we could stay here forever, not worry about anything." She leant into his touch, gently cupping his hands with her own. "I love you..."

"I love you too..."

The two shared a deep and passionate kiss, wanting nothing more than to not go anywhere. Johnny then smirked, an idea popping into his mind. "How about I put on... a show for you"

She blushed and giggled lightly "John...."

"What... You know you want it" He smirked, well knowing her answer.

"Oh when I get my hands on you" She smirked.

He then lifted her up like a princess and moved to the couch, gently sitting her down and standing back. "Be prepared for Scotland's pure glory" He started with his biceps, raising his arms and flexing hard, snake-like veins popping out.

She squirmed a little, blushing deeply.

He smirked and then turned around, His back facing her as he flexed his back a bit before moving to his butt.

She covered her face, Peeking in between her fingers.

He looked behind and smirked. "What, see something you like ??" He winked and began to flex each cheek individually.

She bit her lip and giggled a little, now she was the one who thought it was getting hot in here.

He gave his butt one last wiggle and flex before turning back to face her, flexing his abs and pointing a finger at each of them. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Full abs" He was super proud of it.

"What a hunk you are..." He voice broke slightly.

"The best hunk in all of Scotland ??" He smirked.

"The best hunk I've ever had the pleasure of looking at"

"Then feast your eyes on this" He held his hands behind his back, soon popping his pecs, Her favourite. "Boom boom boom boom" He said as he popped them.

Oh, she liked that, She really liked that, She was starting to fan herself. "Just... Keep doing your thing"

“That I will, I picked up a trick along the way, Wanna see ??" He smirked.

She nodded her head vigorously "Go for it..."

He began to pop his pecs so fast it was like they were shaking rather than popping, that's how fast they were going. "Oh yeah" He looked at her and smirked.

She blinked, Oh... Oh, John... John... John what have you awakened inside her ?? She blushed so deeply, she was like a tomato.

"You like that huh ??" He smirked.

She nodded vigorously !!!

He chuckled, slowing down the speed before popping them normally again. "Boom boom boom !!"

She giggled softly and blushed deeper, ready to melt into the couch and pass away. It was too much and yet not enough.

He then stopped and walked up to her, smiling. "How would you rate that ??"

John.... that was a 100000/10 !!!

She blinked, trying to speak "Yep... I married the sexiest hunk..." she hid her face as he sat down next to her. It was always the pecs for her. "You always know what I like" She finally reached her hands out and rubbed them.

"I've been married to you for too long, I know everything" He smirked.

I still remember the day you first showed me it on one of our dates" She giggled and hid her face, remembering it all.

"That I do too" He smirked further.

"I couldn't stop giggling and blushing, my god !!"

"I couldn't get you off me either" He snickered.

"It's not my fault your sexy !!" She lovingly huffed "I called you Dwayne Johnson"

"I'm better then him" He leaned over and kissed her. "So, so much better and I've got you"

She giggled. "That you have" She then looked up at him with puppy eyes. "Pop them a bit more ??" It's been too long for her ok !!??

He smiled, happily obliging and sitting up, popping his pecs again. She could watch them all day, that's how sexy her husband is. It was good to have him back.

Okay, so I've been doing the "re-listen and rate all the 11 albums" thing. I did Debut on Wednesday, so today it's Fearless's turn!

1. Fearless. What an opening!! Easily in her top 3 opening tracks. Seeing this in the Eras and doing the 🫶 was one of my fave moments of 2023. Rating: 10/10

2. Fifteen. While I don't revist this song super often, I still think it's great and quite touching. My favorite lyric is, "But I found time can heal most anything, and you might just find who you're supposed to be". Rating: 9/10

3. Love Story. This is the first Taylor song I ever heard in 2010, so I'll always have a soft spot for it. But it's also genuinely a perfect song. Rating: 10/10.

4. Hey Stephen. Super cute and iconic. "All those girls, well they're beautiful, but would they write a song for you?", you'll always be famous. Rating: 8.5/10

5. White Horse. You guys give this song too much hate. It's s not her worst track 5 by any means. You guys just don't get her like I do. My favorite lyric is "Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance.My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand.". Rating: 8.5/10.

6. You Belong With Me. Banger of all time! Been there, too, Nerdy Taylor in the mv. Rating: 10/10.

7. Breathe. One of my fave deep cuts. There aren't a lot of friendship breakup songs out there, so I'm glad she exists. My favorite lyric is, "Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out". Rating: 10/10

8. Tell Me Why. The fiddles here give me life. It has a lot of good lyrics, my favorite one is "You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day". Rating: 8/10.

9. You're Not Sorry. Gonna piss a lot of people off, but I genuinely don't like this song much aside from a few lines and the production. I just find it rather boring, and it's really similar to White Horse because both songs are about not forgiving an ex and going your own way after finding out they were cheating on you. I do like the first few verses. My favorite lyric is "And it's taken me this long baby, but I figured you out" and I love the guitars and violins, but yes, I don't have a lot of positive things to say about this song. Rating: 6/10.

10. The Way I Loved You. What a banger!! The guitars, the banjo, everything!! Chorus of all time, which also has my fave lyrics in this song. My favorite lyric is Rating: 10/10.

11. Forever & Always. Another perfect song! And late 2022 me really related to this (fun fact F&A was written on the same day I went through a friendship breakup that had me blasting this the rest of that day). My favorite lyric is, "Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide like a scared little boy?". Rating: 10/10

12. The Best Day. I get why some people may not like it, but I love it. Favorite lyrics are, "I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean. I come home crying, and you hold me tight and grab the keys, and we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away, and we talk and window shop till I've forgotten all their names", because yeahh... anyways. Rating: 9/10.

13. Change. Love the production, but lyrically, it is weak. I don't 100% agree this is Long Live 1.0, because Change feels more like a rousing speech, while Long Live feels more like a celebration of their achievements, declaring that in case everything goes wrong she hopes everyone will look back fondly on their times together. My favorite lyric is, "Because these things will change. Can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down". Rating: 6.5/10.

14. Jump Then Fall. This song is cute and all, but I just think Hey Stephen is better tbh. My favorite lyric is, "The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry, but I'll hold you through the night until you smile." Rating: 7/10.

15. Untouchable. I've debated whether rating this song or not since it's just a cover, but since it's on both the 2009 Platinum version and on Fearless TV, I'm rating it. I think her vocals here are quite good, and I love the country rearrangement. My favorite lyric is, "In the middle of the night, we can form this dream, I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me. You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together." Rating: 8.5/10.

16. Forever and Always (Piano Version). Since this is genuinely another version of the song with different vocals and production, and not just a remix, I'm rating it. While it's not my preferred version of the song, I think it's a nice rendition. Rating: 8/10.

17. Come In With The Rain. Soo underrated, her vocals are quite nice, and the production is really good. Rating: 8/10

18. Superstar. I don't get why you all hate this song. Is it the best platinum track? No, but it's not the worst one when Jump Then Fall is right there. Rating: 7.5/10.

19. The Other Side of The Door. Another banger of the century. One of her best outros!! Rating: 10/10.

20. Today Was A Fairytale. Sooo cute, you are mean for hating on this one. Rating: 8/10.

21. You All Over Me. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not big on the Fearless vault tracks, because I feel like most of the truly great material made in either in the standard edition or the platinum edition, so what was left off was overall just alright imo. I don't dislike this song by any means, but I prefer production on the 2005 demo over the one on the Taylor's version because it just doesn't like a Debut/Fearless Taylor song and it sounds a little too polished (idk if it makes sense? Idk, the only time Aaron Dessner has let me down is when it comes to the Fearless Vault). Rating: 6/10.

22. Mr. Perfectly Fine. It's definitely the best vault track on Fearless! My favorite lyric is Mr. "Insincere apology so he doesn't look like the bad guy". Rating: 10/10.

23. We Were Happy. I quite like this song, actually, but I prefer the demo production over the TV one. While it does feel more Fearless esque than You All Over Me TV, I didn't love how they switched it from the orchestral arrangement to a downtempo ballad one. Rating: 7.5/10.

24. That's When. Writing wise, this song makes no sense... but melodically, it's quite nice soooo... Rating: 6/10.

25. Don't You. I kinda hate this song... the lyrics are okay, I guess, but the production??? This sounds like a Midnights demo... why are you doing synths and vocal layering on the most awarded country album??? Rating: 5.5/10.

26. Bye Bye Baby. Well, I hate this one more, actually. I do like the lyric "It wasn't just like a movie, the rain didn't soak through my clothes down to my skin", because of how it contrasts with Fearless the song and her vocals here are nice, but everything else sucks imo. Rating: 5/10.

Overall score: 7.8/10 (counting the vault), 8.6/10 (if we're going off solely the original tracks).

⌘ more than yesterday, more than today

{ a fanmix following Akane and Yamada’s whirlwind love story as they level up from strangers into something more, one song at a time }

     listen on... { Youtube }  >>  { Spotify }

- if you enjoyed me, please Reblog so others can find me too! -

-------------------------------------- just a mix of EN and JP songs that fit well lyrically, arranged in some semblance of a chronological order, as well as a few that fit the vibe well!

I managed to fit many references to events in the story, chapter titles, etc. within the various songs and section headers up until around ch71-ish. I had songs planned out for a section covering the Gunma arc around ch97, but figured it was better to shelve that idea for now until we have more content; in the meantime I hope this playlist can help tide everyone over during the wait for ch108, while the manga is on another short hiatus!

Youtube is the recommended way of listening as it contains all 44 songs in their intended versions (I had to make some cover substitutions with Spotify, but it's otherwise intact-- just not preferred!). --------------------------------------

[toomuchracket]

baby boy is like elementary school age and somehow sees a pic of 2012/13 matty with the shaved sides haircut and is like you look so cool i wanna look like that!! and mom isn’t home and matty (riding the high of his son saying he’s cool) is like well i don’t see why not…the little guy LOVES it and feels so cool too…and mom comes home to her baby boy in full 24 year old matty attire (skinny jeans, leather jacket, the works) shaved head and all, prancing around like MOM LOOK IM A ROCKSTAR LIKE DAD!! and she’s like WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO OUR SON but really she’s melting bc he’s the spitting image of his dad and she’s like oh we have to show uncle george he’s gonna lose it

HAHAHAHAHA YES ok so he's like 7 (i feel like that was the age where boys started having a say in what they thought looked cool on them lol) and your daughter is 8/9 and they're rifling through some old boxes of photos for some school project while you're at work. your daughter finds some from self titled era and she's like "dad i can't believe that's you", and matty's jokingly like "because i look so young?", to which your son replies "no, dad, it's because you look really cool! like me!"; matty's immediately overcome like "really? you think i'm cool there?", and your daughter kinda shrugs while your son is like "YES the coolest! i wish my hair was like that". and like you said, matty's too busy celebrating the fact he's a kid-certified Cool Dad to think of the ramifications, before he's like "well, we COULD do it now, if you wanted" - as soon as he says "now", your son's face lights up to a level that matty cannot bring himself to dim at all. so yeah, he shaves the sides of his seven year old son's hair off, lowkey getting a ridiculous sense of deja vu to his own hair, while your daughter hovers in the bathroom doorway like "mum's not going to be happyyyyyyyy" (but the boys are too busy giggling and hairstyling to really listen to her). in fairness to matty, he triple checks with your son before he does anything to his hair, and he doesn't give him quite as close a shave as he had himself back in the day. but the effect is still the same; your daughter is adamant she's having no part in the shenanigans, but her eyes flit from the pic of her dad to her little brother right in front of her and she says "yeah, bro, you really do look exactly like dad" and the boys literally cheer lol. and matty's like "oh we need to recreate the full look. do you even have black skinny jeans?", and your son's like "no. but she does!", pointing at his sister, who's like "noooooo you're not using my clothes for this he'll get them all dirty" - matty crouches in front of her and he's like "sweetheart, it'll only be until mum comes in, alright? then we'll wash them and they'll be good as new. and i'll get you a mcdonalds as a thank you", and then she's like " ok :D" lmao.

when you get home, you're greeted by your daughter being like "hi mum, before the boys say anything, just know that i warned them and had no part in it", so naturally you're on alert like "WHAT?"; your question is shortly answered by your son barrelling into the hallway in delight, in his sister's jeans and your old cropped leather jacket and his black vans and, like "mum LOOK i'm just like dad look how cool i look!". you tilt your head and just stare at matty, who's tentatively peering round the living room door, before turning back to your son and smiling at how cute he is like "god you really are your dad's spit, aren't you? but cooler, definitely cooler" - both your kids are like "duh!", which makes you giggle and matty roll his eyes like "thanks, babies, really. tell you what, why don't you go and get a guitar for the full effect?", so the kids run off all excited and leave you and matty alone. matty's over at you immediately, hugging you and kissing all over your face like "hi, princess, my beautiful girl, love of my life", but you're unmoved; you just calmly say "i cannot believe you shaved our seven year old's head, matthew. you're lucky you're both so cute, otherwise i would NOT be happy". and matty just hides his face in your neck like "i know, i know. he just got so excited when he saw the picture and i literally couldn't resist it. s'when he reminds me most of you, when he's like that. and you know i can't say no to you either, sweetheart", and you kiss the side of his head like "you're such a sap" - matty kisses you like "and proud of it", which makes you giggle. and yeah you make out for a little bit (you're married to a dilf and your kids are preoccupied literally what else are you meant to do!), before you're like "oh my god we need to get our boy to facetime george and show him the makeover. he'll freak" and matty's like "YES let's go". and yeah, george DOES freak; he initially reacts to his nephew the exact same way he reacted to matty in the suitcase in atpoaim, then laughs so hard he cries at your son doing an (uncannily accurate) impression of his dad and offers to cut his hair for him if he needs it "cos i used to do matty's when it looked like that", to which you're like "ABSOLUTELY NOT" lmao. yeah, it's funny <3

[moonspirit]

Hi Moon🌕

Hope you're doing fine :)

For the ask game: 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 38, 69

Have a good *time zone* and don't forget to rest🫂

Hi anna T_________T I'm so sorry for getting around to this so late! I also couldn't find the ask game I reblogged #_#

5. what do you think others would consider your most distinguishable physical feature(s)?

I.... I'm not sure xD Probably my smile? I've been told I have a really bright smile. So maybe that. But wait, is that a feature or... just something I do? xD Okay this is confusing. I'm lost, welp.

9. who is your biggest inspiration?

Hmmm. There's many different people to be honest. Carl Sagan is one, Kagaya is another. When I come across people who seem to be at peace with themselves, I yearn to become like them one day. I think an life where there is time and energy to appreciate the world and existence in itself is a beautiful thing and something I hope to achieve, someday in future.

11. favorite myth?

Ooooooooohhh!! Less of a myth and more of a legend tbh xD But Tanabata! Something about those lovers in the heavens meeting once a year tugs at my sappy romantic heart T^T For this reason when I find time to stargaze, the first stars I always try to spot are Altair, Deneb and Vega.

12. when was the last time you were truly angry?

Hmm. Maybe... two weeks ago. Yeah. I was pretty angry then.

13. best compliment you've ever received?

._. Oh, well... recently I received an ask where an anon told me they weren't able to feel much, but that VBEOW helps them feel again, and that it comforts them and takes them to another world. To be honest that touched me so much; it is for the exact same reason that I write VBEOW at all, and to know that those feelings reached someone else struggling similarly, was really good to hear. I consider that a compliment haha, it brought me to tears xD

38. what is your love language?

I'd like to say, acts of giving, reassurance, and physical touch. I think I'm someone who likes to give--and given the opportunity and time, I give a lot, too--but I'm very big on the other two as well. They are important for me. :3

[fiction-justanotherstateofmind]

Here I'll write the comments as I watch the new Teen Wolf movie, so SPOILERS!!

.

.

.

SPOILER

.

.

.

1) WTF! Why would you keep a evil spirit IN A RESTAURANT?! Easily accessible to anyone. And what if you open the wrong jar while cooking?!

Unbelievable.

2) All the Scott's first scene... kinda cringe

3) I'm not gonna lie, I missed the intro song 🎶

4) I've never heard Deaton speak so much (and for my Italian friends: lo vedo un po' sciupato)

5) Derek, my beautiful love! And hello, Stiles and Derek's son (called like Stiles' grandfather, Elias. iykyk)

6) Why do they talk about the Nemeton like they don't know it?

7) I love Derek as a dad. My heart is melting.

8) Parrish and Malia don't make any sense.

Update from the end of the movie. Ok, I kinda like them, but they still don't make any sense.

9) Apparently Deaton can fight now. Plus every time I see the nogitsune all I can see is this:

10) For a moment I thought I was watching the Winx... I guess some things never change. I surely didn't miss the bad special effects.

And why does everyone needs to be naked??

11) OMG!!! VICTORIAAA. This woman scares me even now

12) I've always dislike Allison, now even more: my poor poor Derek! 😭

Ok no, false alarm, but I don't change my opinion.

I really love Dad Derek btw.

13) I missed Peter and Chirs together. My other ship

14) Scott to Eli: "Find your dad". What if instead you tell him where his dad is too, since you do know Derek is at home but Eli doesn't *facepalm pt.2*

15) The parallel between Dark Allison and Scott and Dark Allison and her killing spree against my precious Erica and Boyd. YOU SEE WHY I DON'T LIKE HER?! (She didn't even say sorry for that btw)

16) The Sheriff killing Oni while sitting on the couch is on another level

17) Derek dies pt.2 (my heart can't take it anymore)

18) What?! Why, tell me why did you run against theirs swords. You literally killed yourself, Eli. *facepalm pt.3*

19) Peter, that was cringe af. And Chris wdym with 8 hours at most when we know from the show that it takes about 24h before the death?? Omg I can't with this movie

20) And now why do they care about the game? Hello, your father's going to die, Eli!!

21) Oh, she's really doing it. I didn't expect it (Allison shooting at Scott)

22) Ouch, that must hurt (Nogitsune with a new hole in the middle of his forehead)

23) I missed Chris and Peter's duo, but please give me back Peter's old hair style, this one is a death crime

24) Jackson my beautiful little lizard. I've always loved you ♡

25) How disgusting! It's like Rufus (from Kim Possible) became the Darach:

Do you se the resemblance too? Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the nogitsune unmummified.

26) The scene is kinda cheap but gods if I missed them

27) Why are Derek's eyes blue?? They were yellow again after the the Mexican fountain of youth

Update: nevermind. They reminded me that after Derek evolves his eyes go back to blue.

28) Can anyone stay dead in this city?? Harris too, come on!

29) You're giving your son TO SCOTT?? Are you serious, Derek?? It's like a big child, he can't take care of Eli. If Stiles was there, he would tell you the same (but if Stiles was there, Eli would be with his other dad -Stiles- so Scott wouldn't be even an option but I stand for my objection)

30) HIS EYES!! HIS EYES TURNED RED LIKE A TRUE ALPHA (btw, Derek, you've always been the alpha to me)

31) They've vanished. No corpse no death. And even then, we're in Beacon Hills so what is one more resurrection, right? Right??

32) SCOTT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!! YOU'RE IN YOUR 30s, ALLISON IS STILL 16/17!

And why are you kissing anyway! Derek's dead*! (*to them, 'cause in reality Derek's alive, safe and sound. I know it)

33) Excuse me, can I see at least one tear for Derek Sourwolf Hale, please? Are y'all being serious? Scott is almost smiling!!

Also, they had a funeral for Derek but didn't invite Cora, his sisters... they didn't even tell Isaac that Allison is alive (you know, Allison, your boyfriend. I know you kinda forgot him even when you were dying but if you remember everything then Isaac is supposed to be in that everything too). They didn't even call Stiles!

35) Why does it seem that when the Sheriff was talking about the jeep he was actually talking about Stiles and Derek (or sterek as a ship/concept). No matter what, we sterek shipper will stand. Always and forever.

Final thoughts

I thought worse but at the same time it felt rush. I wanted to see more Eli and Malia bonding. Also the way the Sheriff cares about Eli it seems more like a grandfather to a grandson (if you know what I mean) but we couldn't really see that. And can we talk about Derek and Noah (John for the friends)'s partnership? Or how Derek speaks about Stiles with Noah as he's still in touch with him??

And where is Eli come from anyway?! Are we finally normalize mpreg?

Final final thoughts

I didn't like this movie. It was like a big bad Scallison fanfiction found on wattpad (ao3 is better). A lot of things were forgotten and other changed.

BUT

There's always a but (as in the Derek's "death" *wink wink*).

This movie gave us a lot of sterek material.

I'm afraid of what Jeff Davis' mind could possibly come with for another movie, probably more about Eli's past which means a mother for sure (unfortunately the world isn't ready for mpreg yet I'm afraid) and less sterek material. But at the same time I want to see Derek alive again, I want to see how they would manage with two true alpha and how Derek and Eli's relationship would evolve.

I want a lot of things to see but I'm afraid they won't give me any of them, so I can't decide either I want another movie or not.

What do you think?

Ch. 13 - A Leap of Faith

"Well that's interesting," Satoru pondered as the three of you gathered in the faculty room Friday morning. You and Suguru went through all of the information Tengen had told you, as well as the conclusion of Suguru being Sengoku reincarnate -- as crazy as that sounded. "So we need to find Kenjaku," he sighed, "not an easy thing to do. Kenjaku usually shows up when they want to."

"But you have the six eyes!" You pointed at Satoru eagerly. At this point, you were trying to convince him to help you with your endeavors.

"So? We find Kenjaku and then basically have to just hope that you don't die when we rip their stitches out?" Satoru snorted. "Yeah, right." You could almost hear how he rolled his eyes from behind the blindfold.

"Please, Satoru," Suguru insisted, hands balled into fists as he stood before his friend, "if we don't do this and Kenjaku decides to abandon her original body, she could randomly drop dead."

Satoru, who was lounging in his desk chair with his feet up, rolled his head over to his best friend. "Suguru, why are all of your issues always so life and death? Why can't it ever be easy with you?"

"So you'll do it, then?" You asked hopefully, hands pressed together in prayer.

Satoru stared at you through his black blindfold, a flat expression on his face before it grew into a smile. "I can't say no to my best friend. Or my best friend's lover."

"Thank you!" You nearly squealed, leaping toward Satoru and wrapping your arms around his neck in a big hug. Satoru fell forward in his chair to balance himself as soon as you lunged.

"Thanks, Satoru," Suguru responded at the same time, staying behind with his hands relaxed in the pockets of his pants.

"Eh, don't mention it," Satoru chuckled as he stood up. "I'll let you know when I find something. In the meantime, you two relax. You need it after this week."

Satoru then excused himself, leaving you and Suguru alone for the weekend. Suguru turned his attention toward you with a gentle smile which you returned.

"So, do you have any ideas of what you'd like to do this weekend?" He asked.

You thought for a moment, looking up toward the ceiling in thought. "Well...Bon is coming up and I've been thinking since I've come back how it would be nice to visit the cemetery."

Suguru chuckled. "Well, if you're here and I'm here, whose spirit exactly are we welcoming back to the human world?"

You scrunched up your face to hide your smile and playfully shoved his shoulder, causing him to lose balance while still chuckling at you.

"Out of respect, you idiot!" You blushed.

"No, no," Suguru took back his words, "it sounds nice, especially before the crowds come next week."

The cemetery was just how you remembered it, each stone carefully carved and surrounded by beautiful foliage. You and Suguru went down a few aisles just to have a nice stroll before finally settling in front of your family's grave. Behind it were the otoba to which you found the one with your name. You carefully ran your fingers along the wood with tears in your eyes. It was surreal to see. Meanwhile, you began to feel an overwhelming sensation taking over your nerves, causing the hair on your arms to stand on end; you had begun to notice it the minute you set foot in the cemetery.

As soon as Suguru saw your facial expression change, he gently placed a hand on your shoulder. You looked over at him, those tears welling over.

You gave a single pathetic giggle, "I'm dead but I'm still alive." It felt like such a weird thing to say, but it was completely true.

"Well...you're back from the dead," Suguru corrected, somehow hoping that would make you feel differently about the situation, something less negative. You gave him a pained look in return.

"Suguru," your voice shook, "I don't want to die." Suguru's brow furrowed, a look of a bit of horror on his face as you continued speaking. "I can feel them all, Suguru. All of the spirits..." You turned to look at him and gasped at his expression. "What?"

"You're...translucent again," he swallowed hard, regaining his composure. You immediately looked down at your hands in a panic, flipping them in disbelief. "Did you mean to do that?"

"No..." your heart that had begun to race had now began to fade.

"C'mon, we should get you away from here," Suguru began to guide what little physicality you had left away from your family grave.

"Well, what do we have here?" A sudden, eerily familiar voice lowly chuckled in the distance. The two of you snapped around to have a look at who was speaking.

"Guys! I found them!" Satoru made his sudden appearance, porting in front of you still slightly suspended in the air.

"It's...me..." you gasped as you felt the last of your physical form dissipate. Your feet lifted a few inches from the ground.

"Just the face I was hoping to see," the malicious you that stood several meters away began to walk closer. Upon closer inspection, you noticed very deep stitches carved into your former forehead -- the binding vow.

"Kenjaku!" Satoru shouted out, extending his arm and his fingers curled inward.

"Satoru, stop!" Suguru quickly grabbed his forearm before the powerful, purple aura could be released. It quickly flickered out. "We still don't know what could happen to Y/N!"

"I'm so interested," Kenjaku sneered in your direction, "it seems my hunches were entirely correct. If anyone's happy you've returned, it's certainly me."

"Shut up!" You shouted like a child being bullied on the playground, balling up your fists as you began to regain your form using corporealization. But it was no use, it was taking too much of your energy to do so. You weren't sure what was happening, whether it was your inability to focus under stress or something to do with your former body just a few meters away.

"Y/N, aren't you going to ask me why?" Kenjaku pouted, placing their hands on their hips -- technically your hips.

"Why?" You grit your teeth and stared at the evil figure in front of you. Satoru and Suguru stood idly by, prepared for any sudden movement from your adversary.

"I wanted to understand your soul," Kenjaku began simply with another sinister smile. "Your technique is incredibly precious yet so overlooked. Your family should have been grouped in with the three powerful families," they chuckled as if they were mocking you. "You're still here despite having your body stolen from you. No matter how many times you are destroyed, you're capable of returning. Through you, I've been able to discover that jujutsu does indeed transcend death."

They sighed as they finished their explanation and turned their attention to Suguru, still holding that uncanny smile that matched your own. "And Geto, if it isn't the living, breathing proof that reincarnation exists. My, my, you look just like he did all those years ago. Will you fatefully risk your life again this time? It was such a shame I wasn't able to end you right then and there with your precious love back then."

Suguru grit his teeth at Kenjaku's acknowledgement of him. "Y/N," Suguru began while keeping his eyes focused on the form in front of him, his voice low in a whisper. "It's up to you what we do. It's your body."

"And don't get me started on preservation!" Kenjaku chuckled louder than before, continuing on without a care in the world. "Cryogenics wasn't invented until the 60s, so it was a major pain to keep you perfectly preserved. A little discoloration at the fingertips," the held up your blackened fingertips and wiggled them, it looked almost as if they had frostbite, "but overall not bad."

You swallowed hard, your mind made up. "Kill them."

Suguru furrowed his brow even harder, extending his palms to summon a large, worm-like cursed spirit. It emerged from the ground, destroying a few of the gravestones around it as its large mouth swallowed Kenjaku whole. But there's no way it could be that easy.

Nick finding out you’re pregnant, fluff maybe a little bit of angst

Positive (B17)

"Oh my fucking god" I whispered I moved back and fourth in the small bathroom, it's been 5 minutes I flipped it. Positive . I took a shaky breath, tears going down my face. 'What's Nick going to do, my parents oh my god' I picked up my phone hitting Nick's name N: hey Mama's! Y: hey... I smiled N: what's up? Y: could you come over? N: yeah I was gonna come right now Y: k, love you N: love you

I hung up grabbing the test going into my room, I threw on a hoodie sitting on my bed. Nick lived about a block away and should be here any minute. "hi beautiful" Nick came in and smiled "hi" he pecked my lips "you okay?" he rubbed my cheek "i'm fine can you shut the door?" he nodded. "what's up?" "um..you can't be mad" "of course not" he held my hand "i'm...pregnant" "you're joking?" he laughed but it soon dropped when I handed him the test, he stood up from the bed running a hand through his hair "we used condoms...it's mine right?" "what kind of question is that Nickolas," I rolled my eyes "my keeping it. No matter what" he nodded and set the test on the bed "I-I have to go" he opened the door "Nick!".

I sighed falling back on the bed, I was now really crying hard under my blanket. "Y/n!" my door swings open my mom with the box for the test in her hands "mom" "are you?" she held it up, I nodded "with that guy?!" "his names Nick and you know that i've been with him since I was 13 hes here almost everyday" I sighed "you're not having it!" "yes I am, it's not you're choice" "fine then you need to be gone by tonight" "what?" "you have a car and you're High school drop-out boyfriend" she walked out the door. I sighed running a hand through my hair.

I put a suitcase into the back of my car "Y/n?" Nick said behind me I turned his arms wrapped around my waist "i'm sorry I left I just got a little scared" I put my hands on his biceps "it's okay" I gave a light smile "where you going?" "I don't know....my mom found the box kicked me out" he sighed and kissed my head "you got more inside?" I nodded "k i'll help you...Move in with me" "Ni-" he shook his head "not asking... come on lets get the rest of it".

"did you ask you're mom?" I asked while he started the car "no" "Nick" "it's fine, I promise she loves you" "did you tell her?" he shook his head putting the car in drive "I went for a run" I nodded "you hungry?" I nodded and he put his hand in mine.

Me and Nick were laying in his bed when he said "I'm gonna get a job" he said "No you have a job training, fighting that's you're job. i'll get another" I looked up at him "no you'll quit you're crazy if you think i'm gonna let you work while you're pregnant" "nick I can't not work" "Yes you can that's why i'm here so you don't have too" he kissed me "I love you" he added making me smile "I love you too".

"you want to meet uncle Nate?" he whispered kissing her head Nate sat on the couch waiting to hold his niece, "hold her neck" he said laying her in his arms "oh my god" Nate breathed out "guys," he looked up at us "shes so beautiful" he ran a hand over her head Nick kissed his little brothers temple.

I present to you, PFP of Karma, her basic info and her lore.

Basic Info

Name- Karma

Age- 27

Species- Human

Gender/Pronouns- Female/She/Her

Height- 5'6

Weight- 169

Clothes- Karma usually wears her Mando armor (seen above) and black sweats with dark brown boots.

Body Build- Buff

Extra- Karma has tattoos, but no one ever sees them. She has wings in her back, underneath that are 2 symbols of Mando'a, both 8s with a dot between, and arm sleeves with flowers, left arm has flowers symbolizing death and life while the right is of rebirth and strength.

Lore

Karma was raised by Mandalorians, her parents were Mandalorians, but disappeared when she was young. Karma was born with 2 colored hair, blonde and brown, heterochromia eyes, green and yellow, and showing Blaschko lines. She was often teased so around the age of 8 she started to fist fight everyone who made fun of her looks after the ghosts of her parents offered advice, unfortunately it would be the very last time she saw her parents.

Karma did get in trouble for fighting kids before she told them if the adults weren't going to help her she'd help herself, and the talks stopped.

At 13, Karma was undefeated by most people she fought. The only ones she couldn't, were those responsible to make sure everyone was ready to start bounty hunting for the group. Though that day fatefully came.

When she turned 18 she went into the ring to face the Guardians. She easily defeated all of them, except for the last one who proved to be a slight challenge, but she ultimately won. She got her armor, requesting it to be a male helmet with a vocoder that made her voice gender neutral, wanting to confuse her enemies, which sometimes worked. Her coloring came from the paints that were rarely used, cotton candy pink and blue. Karma was ready to start bounty hunting. She was really good at it too, able to get bounties in quickly and effectively.

When she turned 24, she returned from a bounty mission and her group was gone. It was as if everyone was taken on the spot. She mourned everyone before going to a very slowly growing planet where she still did bounties, but with her home base more hidden, she wasn't worried about it being destroyed.

On one of her bounties, she met another bounty hunter who was after her bounty as well. After a combat battle, the two agreed to take the bounty together and split the reward. They did this successfully.

The Bounty Hunter wanted to learn more about Karma so asked if they could meet outside of their jobs, surprised to find out they lived on the same planet.

Karma went on their first meeting in her armor while the other party was in a nice dress. She introduced herself as Andro, which shocked Karma a bit, assuming that Andro was male. Andro then explained the reason she was doing bounties was to get the body she wanted, which unfortunately, had to be done on another planet which not only is expensive, it also takes a while to get there. Karma listened thoughtfully to Andro's story and smiled, glad there were people out in the universe that cared.

Andro and Karma soon started to date, but it took a year after they started to date for Karma to finally show Andro her face.

==============

"I don't understand why you keep the helmet on... Sometimes it feels like you're staring into my soul wanting me to die. I don't even know what you sound like! How do I know that you aren't changing out with people?!" Andro expressed with sadness and a bit of anger, her eyes were on the bed sheets between her legs, then over at Karma, widening. She had messed up. "I'll... I'll go". It was their one year anniversary and this was crossing a line Andro knew well about.

Andro stood up, and started to leave. She reached the door before she felt something warm against her wrist which made her stop.

"Please stay." It was a feminine voice, not the normal gender neutral vocoder of Karma's helmet.

Andro turned around and teared up her beautiful girlfriend stood there, in shock, sadness and horror, but without her Mandalorian helmet and gloves, them resting in the bed.

"I'm.... I'm sorry." She whispered before Andro pulled her close. "I never wan-"

"Shhh... It's ok... It's ok my sweet treat." Andro's voice was soft, but something chocked her throat as she was finally able to kiss her girlfriend's forehead. "You're beautiful. I don't want anyone to tell you differently." She looked down at her heterochromia eyes, there was something mischievous about them, despite them beginning to water.

The next thing Andro knew is the two were on the bed making out.

==============

After that, the two were more prone to going out, Karma slowly not wearing her armor, but still wearing long sleeved clothes and using her cape to cover her head except for a slit for her eyes.

For their 2nd year anniversary, Andro was planning to propose, but both were weary due to reports of a local mob becoming more violent for supposedly no reason.

The two were walking through a flower field with a few very walked on trails, making it clear those who walked cared about the floral life that lived there. Large bushes spotted here and there in the field, and an occasional huge tree. The couple were smiling and laughing.

A nearby bush was rustling, and without a second thought, Andro drew her pistol and shot at the noise as a trandoshan stumbled through the bush, right into the blaster's bolt. It hit him square in the chest, him falling over into the grass as a few other sentient creatures came out with wide eyes and raising their hands, but informing the two about their horrendous boss and needing to leave.

Instead of the two leaving, they requested to see the boss, and when they were granted that permission...

==============

Karma walked in with her new normal wear. Her eye slit the only thing showing any identifying features, her heterochromia eyes and showing Blaschko lines were the most obvious. The two creatures led her and Andro through the town and down an alley way that turned into stares, and at the bottom were two armed guards and a door, a big insignia covering the door in purple and red. One of their escorts flashed a card then the door opened.

The inside sounded like a bustling city, but looked like the underside of a house. They had to snake their way through the crowd, sandstone pillers holding up the ceiling, carvings being filled with some sort of plaster that could be easily seen as they walked by. Andro and Karma held hands, not willing to let go of each other.

The four had arrived at a giant metal door, the same insignia being more vibrant than the one outside. One of the people opened it. They walked in and the two lovers kneeled down, bowing slightly before looking at the mob boss. It was another reptilian species, but definitely not a Trandoshan. Whatever he was, he was fat, snacking on grapes, staring dully at the two.

One of their escorts went and whispered what happened, his expression hardened. He sat up straight and waved, someone quickly grabbing the plate he put his grapes on, the clacking of chains making Karma tense a bit.

"You killed one of my goons, what brings you here in front of me?" He asked with a booming, enraged voice.

"Forgiveness sir." Andro responded level headed, bowing down. "He had spooked us and without warning I fired." Karma glanced over at her lover with concern, but Andro wasn't looking, her eyes closed. "I ask for your forgiveness and we will pay for his life in any way we can."

There was silence in the room. Karma has leaned forward a bit to mimic Andro's bow, but she was entirely wary of what would happen.

"I decline your request human. You killed a member now it's your turn to pay with your life, but since you had the gull to ask me for something, I will give you until the moon is at the highest point in the sky to flee this planet, if we find you here after then, you will die."

Karma was about to get up, but Andro squeezed her leg before speaking, "We accept your offer graciously. Thank you for the opportunity of life." With that, Andro got up, and made Karma follow, the building now buzzing softly with what just transpired. Thousands of eyes tract them leaving.

Karma wasn't happy, but left with Andro as they went to pack...

They were nearly done packing as the moon was starting to rise.

"I need to go grab some stuff from the kitchen. I will be back princess." Karma said before gently kissing Andro on the lips. "Always loved your lipstick, maybe I can steal it on the next planet." She joked softly, gently wiping her thumb over Andro's lips as if to attempt to take some of the pomegranate colored lipstick for herself.

"In your dreams sweet treat." Andro teased back before Karma left with a wide smile.

In the kitchen, Karma opened a secret compartment that held something dear to her, a bunny-like stuffed animal from her home planet. Carefully, she got up and headed back to the room with that and a few plates.

Creaking open the door, Karma took a few steps in, smiling before looking up. Her heterochromia eyes widened as she dropped the plates and the stuffed animal. The plates broke as they shattered to the floor, cutting up the fabric of the stuffed animal a bit, but that didn't matter.

(TW: Gore, skip to the end of this section of squeamish)

In front of Karma was Andro, propped up with her back against the wall by their only window in their room. Andro sat there, holding two things, her own still beating heart in her right hand, and a black rose in her left. Her heart was trying to pump blood, but that wasn't happening. What was, was blood softly gushing out of it, along with blood pooling out of the human's chest where her heart used to be.

Karma ran over and kneeled by her, tears streaming down her face as she noticed Andro was barely alive, a single tear drizzling down the side of her face before her head slightly leaned forward, as if to be thankful Karma was here in her last seconds as life left her body.

==============

Afterwards, Karma put Andro back together before building a fire and burning her body, noticing that the moon had just risen from the horizon and started to plan revenge.

This would be something she would get a year later, but it started with Karma signing herself up to join the mob, wearing her Mandolorian gear instead. She fought her way to the top, beating everyone that was pitted against her. This was something done in the mob to see where you'd be best, but when Karma was placed, she was placed way lower than she was supposed to, the mob boss being suspicious of her. Many people were upset about this, but not knowing the reason she wasn't promoted higher.

It didn't matter to Karma. Over the next year, she rose through the ranks, gaining a group of people who started to follow her. The Mandalorian having a secret code phrase to indicate those with her.

Once the mob boss finally went on his "yearly mission", Karma struck. She staged a coup with most of the mob, easily overthrowing those who outranked her and waiting for him to return, already enacting changes to the mob.

Then the mob boss came back. He found the symbol was repainted and the place was clean and organized. He arrived in his room to Karma sitting on his chair, staring to the left. His close friends were being held against their will in a line. When he went further in, they were dragged out and the door was closed behind them.

It was just him and Karma now. Karma stared at him, a kiss mark in pomegranate colored lipstick on the left side of her helmet. She then got up and beat him until he couldn't move, before executing him with Andro's blaster.

Karma dragged his body out, tossing it in front of the crowd and demanding those who wish to live leave if they were a part of the old mob boss's rule and catered to his corruption, otherwise they'd be killed. Most left, a couple stayed and were executed exactly like the mob boss.

Karma became the new mob boss, and everything was fine for a few months. Then the Separatists attacked a scouting squad Karma had ordered to check out a mysterious spaceship that had landed.

During this attack, the group radioed it into Karma and she was quick to get to the location, her bringing along a few others. Though when she got there with the others, she found the squad dead with blaster wounds, dead clones and droids.

Something moved from her peripherals and she raised her blasters and turned around to see a clone with his hands up, a few others near him with theirs up as well.

Karma was outraged and demanded to know the situation, not sparing to mention that their lives would be wasted if she wasn't told. That's when she found out that the group was first attacked by droids, then clones. The clones had gotten confused from a miscommunication about who to shoot and during the firefight it was hard to see who shot first.

The armored woman was filled to the brim with emotions. She demanded to speak to whoever is in charge and when she was refused, she shot a clone's shoulder and demanded again, stating she would hit his head next. She was granted permission before discussing it with a jedi, who apologized for those who died and agreed to try to get her voice heard to leave the planet alone.

For a while, it was a work in progress. Karma having the clones stay in a certain area and refusing them to access any of the planet. Her having ordered her mob to check the planet carefully and more battle training just in case.

Karma watched the clones carefully until they were approved of the planet being left alone. The Republic did offer an alliance, which Karma reluctantly agreed with due to it being the only way the clones would be forced to leave, but check in every so often.

Things having calmed down since then, but Karma is now on edge with everything, being more caring of her mob and hating almost everything that isn't on her planet. She still does bounties here and there, but mainly stays on her planet to help protect them if any Separatist forces strike again.
