six drinks, first time

|| jing yuan x f! reader || E/18+ || drunk reader + adoring jin yuan + kink reveal || wc: 2.5k || ao3 ||

Jing Yuan covets the fact he knows you better than anyone else. It’s unfortunate for him that plum wine makes you sweeter and more honest, revealing a piece of yourself he hasn’t considered.

minors & ageless blogs dni

a/n: jing yuan has rotted my brain i need him so badly fr fr :salute: enjoy!!

CWs: drunk reader, engaged jing yuan and reader, possessive jing yuan, corruption kink, virginity kink, reader visibly blushes, light exhibitionism/threat of exhibitionism

It's rare for Jing Yuan to see you this way. So carefree, so weightless, so unabashed, despite the many bodies around you and looks that your display is inevitably drawing. Jing Yuan is too old to care for decorum in this setting, it's a party after all. Though he'll only nurse a drink or two during the evening, lest lose himself, he appreciates seeing his compatriots enjoy themselves.

He wasn't expecting you to partake as much as you have, though.

Jing Yuan has been counting your drinks— five, sipping on a sixth (some plum wine that he’s sure has a taste that will linger on your lips. He wants nothing more than to find out himself). You'll undoubtedly have a headache in the morning. He's less concerned about that (he'll treat you well, he always does, the lovesick fool he is). You rarely drink so much, usually just stealing sips from his glass and remaining sober by his side, so it's quite the treat for him to see you lose yourself in this way.

You cling to his arm, cheek pressed into his shoulder as you listen to Fu Xuan drone about a trivial bit of gossip. Jing Yuan entertains her, and you watch them both, entranced. Lips parted and a bit chapped, cheeks flushed, with a thigh thrown over his own. You're rarely so affectionate with him in public, or anywhere other than your home. You insist upon decorum, but after your third drink, it's been thrown out the window. You're practically in his lap.

At the thought, Jing Yuan tests his luck. It takes no effort for him to wrangle you over his thighs, and you throw an arm around his neck, pressing the other over his chest. You bear your weight into him. It's horribly precious of you.

Though your relationship isn't a secret, it's something you don't answer common questions about. Even if Tingyun tries to twist your arm for information on the general, you always skillfully decline (or, tell her off with equally flowery words. It's impressive to watch considering he's well aware of the other contexts you use such vocabulary and tone in— in war rooms at the side of long tables, or while sitting over his hips, smearing spit across his lips.)

You gasp at something Fu Xuan says. Jing Yuan squeezes around your hip. When your flesh gives way under his grip, Jing Yuan sees stars. It's so rare he gets to indulge in this way. He'll milk it for all its worth.

You're unaware of it— the gazes that you draw, from colleagues, foes, strangers. Jing Yuan is terribly attuned to it. You'd probably be alarmed if you knew the extent to which Jing Yuan is acutely aware of each wayward glance or longing look you receive. You have admirers. Your lack of public acknowledgment of your relationship (besides the engagement rings you both wear. Identical, cast in the same metal, sharing halves of the same stone) allows room for it.

Jing Yuan never lets them get far. For how little you both say of it, he isn't shy about standing closer to you than anyone else. Inviting you to the seat of divine foresight, whenever he bothers to actually be there. He asks for you on daily walks and you're the only other person his finches will eat from the hand of.

If an admirer of yours doesn't get the message after such clear signals, Jing Yuan takes a more direct approach. A hand on the small of your back, leveling you a gaze that screams 'I will be splitting you open on my cock the first moment you allow me' in an open market for all to see, or making eye contact with said suitor and provide them a particular hardened, venomous look that Jing Yuan's only been able to forge through time and his feelings for you.

He'd never considered himself a possessive man before you.

Look at what you've done to him, made him selfish and desperate at your hand.

Jing Yuan has little to lose. You've finished your sixth drink. He kisses your jaw— just a drag of the lips over the curve of it. He feels you give a full-bodied shudder, balling up his robe in your fist.

He’d never considered himself needy either, but with you, he is. He hides it well. He doesn't even think you know, though you could see it if you looked hard enough.

"Dearest," he speaks against your ear, only for you to hear. "May I take you home?"

You turn to pout at him. He's patient, horribly, perhaps to a detriment at times— but you're testing him.

"Noooo, not yet!" You whine. "The party's so nice and Fu Xuan's fun when she's tipsy."

You hide a giggle behind your palm, and you don't see the way Fu Xuan bristles behind you.

"Can I convince you?" Jing Yuan asks you. He squeezes your inner thigh. He'd put his hand to your skin directly if he could, if he didn't value your modesty—

(Though, perhaps he's been entertaining the thought of having you in a courtyard for the past half hour. Who is to say.)

You hum, thoughtful, "You will have to be very persuasive. I'm enjoying myself thoroughly."

"Noted. You know I can be."

"Hmmm... I'm listening."

Jing Yuan hums, "Such things would be better discussed in private. Take a walk with me?"

You frown, "I don't want to get up."

"I'll carry you."

"You wouldn't—" you flush at that. Jing Yuan cups your face so he can feel your cheeks heat.

"I would. Happily, in fact."

You shouldn't be surprised when he rises with you in his arms, only depositing you back to the ground when you squeal and squirm. You still grab his hand as you depart from the crowded party room. Jing Yuan feels each gaze that follows them. He rubs over the ring on your left hand.

Jing Yuan takes you to an overlook. The city is deserted so late. There's no need for his knights to be stationed so close to the celebration, considering the amount of soldiers teeming just inside.

He crowds you against the railing, slowly, leveraging you with a hand on your side. He'd never let you fall, especially when you sway with the drinks you've had.

"You've been so sweet this evening." Jing Yuan noses down the line of your throat.

"Am I not sweet every evening?"

"You are, of course." Jing Yuan could spend days, months— years even, telling you in all the ways. He's long since become accustomed to the unique heartache you give him— like a wound that never heals or a bruise that will never yellow. The only way to soothe it is with your words, your touch, your presence in his bed and by his side— and wrapped around his arm when you so cutely drink yourself into a stupor. "It's rare that I get to see you partaking in the way you have. It's lovely to see you enjoy yourself. I simply wish to enjoy you myself. If you don't wish to return all the way home, I happened to see a few spare rooms—"

"Jing Yuan!" You tug at his hair. He suppresses a moan. "That would be— indecent. And unbecoming of someone of your rank."

"My rank is unmoving and unchanging, regardless of any sweet sounds I could draw from you. But, I suppose, you are quite the shy thing, aren't you—?"

"You're awful." You say with no bite. You kiss him stupid and Jing Yuan feels stupid. He never feels undone or outwitted, but you silence him so easily. A few touches and he's nothing. "Scoundrel."

"And, you love me for it."

"Well, yes, of course." You assure him and nip at his bottom lip. "Enough to want to marry you, in fact."

"So, you'll allow me to walk you home and keep you from work tomorrow?"

"Why would you keep me from work?"

"I don't expect you to be walking with any ease when I’m finished with you." Jing Yuan, perhaps, desires to mark your neck as well. It's a rare thing, and when he does, he revels in the way you futz with your collar all day to try and hide them. He thinks he'll give you one that you can't hide, right over your pulse point.

"How do I know you're not just trying to get out of those meetings that are on the books for tomorrow morning?" You bat at his chest, a smile burgeoning on your lips. He's got you.

"I only wish to spend the rest of the evening pleasuring you." He lilts his voice and squeezes lower on your hips. "Does my lover not trust me?"

You bury your face in his chest and shudder. He chuckles, running a palm over your hair, cupping the back of your neck. So easily undone, choice words and you unravel.

"You make me think all these weird things."

"Weird how?" He asks, already cajoling you into linking arms, matching your stride.

"I— I've been having this thought and I can't get it out of my head." You avoid looking at him and Jing Yuan’s interest is piqued.

"Will you share with me?"

"It's... embarrassing. And lewd."

"Dear," he presses your ring into your finger. "I have promised myself to you in all ways. If it's a desire you have, I want nothing more than to hear and indulge it."

"You're spoiling me."

"You're avoiding telling me what has plagued you so." Jing Yuan reminds you.

You pause and chew on your words.

Jing Yuan is... curious. Your desires are not a mystery to him. You've been forthright with your wants, and he has in turn, and very little has been vetoed. If anything, you've given him much to think about. You occupy his thoughts in a way that is probably distracting, but so close to retirement— he can let himself daydream about a future where keeping you in bed and flush to him is his only job.

"It's just that—" You shift from foot to foot. You're not far from home now, and you drag your feet. "That, you know? We'll have forever, and it makes me think about all the stuff from before that."

He hums. You've revealed fragments to him, unpleasant bits of the past you've moved beyond.

"And like... What if— Just. Maybe. I think about it sometimes." You kick the metal and stone at your feet. "I think about you being my first. I'm gonna be with you forever, you know? I wish you could just unmake me, and take me for the first time."

Jing Yuan stalls. Almost stumbles. He catches himself by the barest fringes of his finesse because Aeons and stars, what the fuck did you just say—?

(He considers himself an expert in you. He knows your mood, the way your skin changes with the artificial weather and your favorite fruits, and how you best like them cut. He knows the ways to curl his fingers inside you to bring you climax within just moments or hours, if he so deigns.)

(Yet, he never knew this desire. Never considered it. Foresight means nothing when you obscure his vision in the same way a comet's tail bursts as it hits solid atmosphere— blinding and forged with wishes.)

"Jing Yuan? Are you okay?" You ask him, voice gone soft and timid. "Was that... bad?"

"No." Jing Yuan steels himself. He has much to consider. He must act. He scoops you into his arms and throws you over his shoulder.

"Hey!" You let out a little ‘oof’ and pound on his back. "What's this for? If you're upset with me, just say it."

"You didn't upset me at all." He runs a hand over the back of your thighs, his palm coming to rest over your ass. "The opposite, actually overjoyed. You've been so gracious, I couldn't possibly let you tire yourself out with a walk home, could I?"

He squeezes a cheek and feels his cock twitch at the squeak you let out.

He's going to ruin you, he decides. Perhaps not now, but another night. If you wish him to rewrite a poor memory, your first, he will. He wants you dead sober for it.

"... Why do I feel like you're thinking really hard?" you slap his ass and he snorts. "You're scheming. I can tell."

"Only planning, dear. I promise it's in your best interest."

It's all he thinks about as he sets you on the threshold of your shared home. He feeds you rice with egg and tuskpir belly and it’s all he fucking thinks about. He fucks you stupid and drooly and full into the sheets, and it consumes him.

He intertwines his fingers with yours as he fucks into you from behind. His cock hasn't even been this hard, he thinks, it almost hurts. You make the sweetest sounds below him, sticky tears clumping your lashes as you squeeze his hand back. Every thrust pushes you into the mattress. He's blowing out your back, surely. He knows the ache you'll have in the morning and he'll chase it away.

He presses his chest to your back, licking up your neck and stilling the cant of his hips. You breathe in time.

"I'll take you like it's your first time— I'd love nothing more." He licks over a high patch of skin on your neck. "We can even play pretend, if you'd like. Would you like to be a blushing virgin who's never taken cock before?"

You laugh, tilting your head back to bonk into his, "Sounds like you'd just like to corrupt my hypothetical innocence."

"And if I did?" Jing Yuan speaks so seriously that it stills you. He thinks of every set of eyes that looked at you that evening, every ogling glance that traced a figure that is only his. He bites down into the flesh of your neck, sucking a bruise so dark it'll last for days. "If I want to undo you and be the only one who's ever fucked you, seen you like this, would I be wrong to? I think that you may even enjoy that."

You let out a shaking breath. Your cunt squeezes like a vice around his cock and he groans into the mark he's branded on you.

"You're going to ruin me." You smother your voice into the sheets as he picks up his pace. The slap of skin is wet, you're drenched, it's filthy and Jing Yuan never wants it to end. Perhaps he should rethink his views on immortality.

"I am." He will. It's a promise, a vow that's sealed with the faltering rhythm of his hips and the way he spills inside of you. He eats himself out of your cunt, until you're cumming on his tongue and thrashing against the hold he keeps on your hips.

Jing Yuan feels so pleased when he finally lays down at your side after wiping you down. You doze, rolling into his warmth the moment he's under the covers.

He will ruin you. He will reshape you for him, if that's your desire.

He keeps a hand between your sticky thighs and pushes his spent that dribbles from your cunt back inside you.

Day 104: Slammed By My Handsome Fidget Spinner

That was an interesting moment in time, when fidget spinners became really popular, really suddenly, far outside the usual market for fidget toys, for whatever reason. Was it because of the pervasive stress that a lot of USAmericans were feeling at the time? Did we just all have need for a little outlet? Maybe not all of us, the popularity of fidget spinners in 2017 also brought its share of critics who didn't understand the point of them, but this tingler does well to illustrate their purpose before any ass slamming happens.

There is a point in a great many tinglers I've read where the protagonist feels a tension, and quickly realizes he needs an erotic release. This one does something clever by giving the protagonist that feeling of tension, and need for something to channel it into, without the outlet for it being obvious this time. The need to fidget. It's a very relatable scene for those of us who experience it. Getting to spin the fidget spinner provides the release and resolution that the protagonist acutely needs, while the sex afterwards is an extra expression of love and harmony between human and living object for after that need is taken care of, and I think that's beautiful.

#2024 tingles my butt #chuck tingle #For what it's worth I think the best fidget toy is an adjustable wrench #But that wouldn't allow for the exciting way the sex scene of this tingler ends so I'm not complaining

While watching Tales From the Void a couple of months ago, I decided that it would be fun to write a story for r/nosleep.

So here it is (© me, now), free to read:

I Don’t Care if “The Mirthful Maidens” Sounds Like the Title of a 1920s-Era Softcore Porn Film; Those Bitches Are Horrifying

by Jeremy Thompson

When I was still in college, and drinking everything alcoholic anytime I could, I developed a bad case of the shakes. Reaching for an inebriant after even eight hours without one, my hand would quiver as if caught in its own private earthquake.

Post-graduation—pre-marriage, pre-fatherhood—I moved back in with my parents for a time while pretending to look for a decent job. I drained every liquor bottle in their cupboards within a week, then spent my every last cent on cheapo booze. When they realized what a lush I’d become, Mom and Dad locked me in their basement for two weeks with only bread and water to live on. I survived delirium tremens and acute boredom, and have been sober for nearly fifteen years since.

My college years are a blur to me now; it’s a miracle I even graduated. The friends I acquired and shed, the parties I attended, the women I bedded and later assumed I’d hardly pleasured, all seem painted fog now unraveling, some Ghost Me’s fading memories.

Thus, I’m somewhat surprised to see my hands shaking just as alarmingly as they did in the grips of my college alcoholism, as they hover over my MacBook’s keyboard, waiting for my brain to tell them what to type next.

Of course, I must start with Morty.

Morty Greenblatt was forced on me in my childhood as a sort of arranged friendship. His parents were good friends with mine, and lived just two blocks away, so carpools and get-togethers forced us to interact whether we wished to or not. We were in the same grade, and often shared the same classroom. Devoid of blood siblings, we became nearly brothers. We even started to look alike.

As elementary school segued to middle school, then high school, I watched Morty gain confidence with our peers. Jealous and awkward at parties, I tried to look elsewhere as he sucked face with girls I’d fantasized about. Everywhere we went, he amassed friends, while I faded into the background.

When I made plans for college, Morty announced that he’d be taking a year off, to travel around the world and get a better idea of his place in it. We bro-hugged goodbye and then fell out of touch. Alcoholism seized me and my social awkwardness withered.

Post-graduation, after I sobered up, I began freelance copywriting. Churning out SEO content as fast as I could, I earned enough to land my own apartment. Gina Stoneman worked at the Ralphs down the street. We began dating, then married, then our twin daughters, Kenna and Casey, were born. I became a marketing manager for Stolid Staffing Solutions and moved us into a nice, two-story home in suburbia.

While I was becoming a somewhat respectable citizen, attaining love and financial security, the only time I interacted with Morty was when we commented on each other’s social media posts with dumb emojis. So, imagine my surprise when he showed up on my doorstep one day without warning.

“I got your address from your parents,” he said, half-apologetically, after summoning me with a thrice-rung doorbell one Sunday evening. My wife was in the kitchen, washing dishes, and my daughters, twelve years old at the time, were likely in their rooms with their phones glued to their faces.

Morty moved as if to hug me, then shake my hand, but instead settled on a shoulder slap. “It’s been a long time, man,” he added, as I squinted at him as if he was a mirage.

“Uh, hey, uh, Morty,” I eventually said. If not for his occasional Instagram selfies, I’d have had no idea that this was the guy I’d grown up with. He’d bleached his hair, grown a goatee, and embraced tattoos and piercings to the utmost degree. He dressed as if he was at a Lakers game and reeked of marijuana. The shade of his eyes attested to its strength.

“Can I come in for a second? Let’s catch up, crack open a few brewskis. Oh, that’s right, you’re sober. I remember that essay you posted. Got any soda around? My mouth’s dry as hell.”

Well, what could I do but usher him into the living room? “Gina,” I called, “we’ve got a visitor! Would you fetch us a couple of Pepsis?”

Gina did as requested, introduced herself to Morty, then returned to her dishwashing. Exiting the room, she gave me a loaded look, which read, “What the hell’s this loser doing here?”

Strained conviviality had my old friend and me exchanging “Hey, remember when…” reminiscences. Punctuating our shared history, our laughter rang hollow. Then we segued to our current circumstances.

Morty had become a drywaller, I learned, though I’d surely already read that on social media, then forgotten it. He bounced between San Diego and Los Angeles to attend various concerts, and took his parents out to breakfast every other Saturday morning.

Honestly, twenty minutes into our convo, I was mentally praying for him to leave. Whatever had bound us together in our youth had long since dissolved, and I was bored beyond belief. Then Morty finally revealed what was on his mind.

“Hey, man,” he said, “it’s been cool catchin’ up with you and all, but I really came here for some advice. I mean, out of everyone I’ve known, you seem the best situated. Wife and kids, a good job, and look at that body. I bet you get your gym time in, don’t ya?”

“When I can.”

“Okay, okay. And you gave up drinkin’, too. Like, how can you stand to be around people? But that’s not what I’m gettin’ at. It’s these women I keep seein’, these Mirthful Maidens.”

“Mirthful Maidens? What’s that, some kind of folk music group?”

“Nah, man. Check this out.” He pulled his phone from his pocket and summoned an image to its screen. Holding it out for my inspection, he said, “My uncle Benjy used to collect vintage magazines. Sometimes, I’d look through ’em. This was one of his favorites.”

“WINK?” I asked, reading the magazine’s cover. Its pin-up art, credited to Peter Driben, depicted a grinning, black-haired beauty reclining in high heels, stockings, and undergarments. Just above her head were the words MERRY MIRTHFUL MAIDENS.

“Yeah, man, WINK.”

“Never heard of it.”

“Who gives a shit. Sorry, but listen, man, the mag itself doesn’t matter. I’m just sayin’ that these chicks I’m seein’ all look like the broad on its cover: long legs, slim waists, perky tits, toothy smiles, like ultra-sexpot Lois Lanes. They could be sisters or somethin’, or share the same plastic surgeon, maybe both. See what I’m gettin’ at?”

“Well, damn, congratulations. How many of them are there? Oh, to be single again.” The walls were thin in our house; instantly, I regretted my last sentence. Gina was in the kitchen, where the knives are. How could I have been so stupid?

“Nah, man,” said Morty. “This ain’t about pussy. Something’s…wrong with these women. I don’t think they’re human.”

Shaking my head, I replied, “Well, if they’re trying to get your attention, there must be something wrong with ’em.”

“Crack all the jokes you want, homie, but don’t do it around these chicks. I mean, you should hear how they laugh. It’s like they all swallowed harmonicas or somethin’, like they’ve got reeds in their throats. And, I swear to God, man, they’re always laughin’. Sometimes, when they’re in the corner of my vision, their mouths open too wide, like snakes.”

“Dude, you reek of weed, Morty,” I said. “Are you on harder drugs, too? Has anyone else seen these chicks? Have you tried photographing one?”

Ignoring those questions, Morty said, “I first saw ’em at a Crystal Stilts concert, in NYC, back in 2012. Right before the band played, I heard this strange noise behind me. Turning, I saw three of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen in person. They were all dressed in black leather, wearing black lipstick. All were staring at me, laughing their weird ass laughter. My skin really started to crawl, man. Then Crystal Stilts played one of the greatest post-punk sets I’ve ever seen, and I forgot about those bitches…until I saw four more of ’em a few months later.”

“In New York?”

“Nah, man. Cancun. A coupla buddies and me went there to swoop on some spring breakin’ bitches, get that prime pussy, ya know, that young pussy. We were watchin’ a wet t-shirt contest, starin’ at titties, salivatin’, when I saw four Mirthful Maidens standin’ off to the side, wearin’ old-fashioned, black bikinis, laughin’ at me. Man, I pointed ’em out to my homies Steve and Bill, and Bill walked over to ’em, tryin’ to fuck one. They just kept laughin’ and laughin’, and Bill came back and said, ‘They must be shroomin’ real hard.’ That night Bill fell off our hotel balcony, or maybe was pushed, I dunno. Ruined the rest of the trip, that’s for sure. Dude was dead as fuck.”

Of course, I felt obliged, at that moment, to say, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

“Yeah, I bet you are, buddy. A real bleedin’ heart, that’s what you are. But where was I? Sorry, I haven’t been sleepin’ much lately. Give me a second. Okay, I’ll say this: I’ve never seen the same Mirthful Maiden twice. Over the years, I’ve seen, let me see, probably at least a couple hundred, all with that wavy black hair, all with those perfect bodies that would give any straight dude a half-chub if the chicks would ever shut their fuckin’ mouths. Always wearin’ black. They’re never with boyfriends, or any non-laughin’ friends. They’re never alone, and I’ve never seen more than nine of ’em at once. Everyone seems to ignore ’em, but I don’t know how they can. Those sounds they make, man, they’re…unhuman.”

Wow, this guy’s really gone off the deep end, I thought. “Listen, Morty,” I said. “I’ve been laughed at by women, too. I know how small it can make you feel, how cruel it makes them seem. But you’ve met some nice ladies over the years, too, haven’t you? Why don’t you focus on them?”

“Because I’m fuckin’ afraid, bro. It not just out in public that I’ve seen the Mirthful Maidens. One night, just a few weeks ago, I woke up and saw two in the corner of my bedroom. I grabbed my cellphone and ran outta there, and called the police. But, of course, the chicks vanished by the time the pigs showed up. There were some in my parents’ backyard the other day, too. My mom and dad had no clue who they were, but weren’t bothered by them. I shouted threats at the women, but they kept laughin’ and laughin’.”

“Wow,” I exhaled. “This is some kind of joke, right?” As if I couldn’t see the fervor in his eyes, or the sweat on his forehead.

“No joke, man. I see ’em everywhere I go now, in the U.S. and out of it. They’re always lookin’ at me, always laughin’ that weird ass laugh. I’ve been half-expectin’ a couple of ’em to walk downstairs as we’re talkin’.”

“Well, Morty,” I said, “I’ve never heard of such a thing before. I’ll tell you what, though. Next time you see these Mirthful Maidens, call me and we’ll confront them together. How’s that sound?”

Morty sighed. “Better than nothin’, I guess. You’ll hear from me soon enough.”

After giving him my phone number, I showed him to the door and watched his departure. He pulled a joint from his pocket, sucked fire into it, and sauntered over to his car. Carefully, he checked its interior for bogeywomen before driving off.

I felt someone touch my elbow, and nearly shat my pants. But it was only Gina, making that face she makes when she’s attempting to hide her anger.

“I heard every word you two said,” she practically hissed. “I don’t care if you guys were friends way back when, Morty Whatever-His-Last-Name-Is sounds like a dangerous crackhead and I don’t want him near our daughters or me ever again. You stay away from him, too. He’ll probably attack some poor woman someday, and you’ll be arrested as his accomplice if you’re not careful.”

After a moment of consideration, I thought, Sorry, Morty, then threw my arms around Gina and said, “Whatever you say, dear.”

I felt the tension flow from her, as her speech grew sardonic. “Jeez, I’m lucky that I didn’t laugh around that asshole. He’d have accused me of being a Martian.”

I considered her greying hair and her plump figure, which had never rebounded far back from its pregnancy weight all those years ago, and thought, Fat chance. Then, feeling guilty, as if Gina had read my mind, I offered to rub her feet.

Of course, Morty called me a few times after that, but I let him go straight to voicemail. He direct messaged me on social media, but I never wrote back. One time, he returned to my house, but my wife answered the door and told him I wasn’t home. When he asked when I’d return, she shouted, “Just get out of here, you psycho!”

A few weeks after that, San Clemente beachgoers realized that the man they’d assumed was only sleeping on his Corona Extra beach towel was turning purplish-blue, choking on his own vomit. Morty died there, on the sand, chock-full of heroin and fentanyl, on an otherwise idyllic day. It was all over social media, with old classmates of ours and folks I’d never met coming out of the woodwork to praise Morty’s many virtues and condemn opioid addiction. “My heart is open to anyone in crisis,” some wrote. “Don’t ever feel alone in your affliction.” I wondered how they’d have reacted to that Mirthful Maidens story.

Strangely enough, Gina demanded that I attend Morty’s funeral.

“But people might know that I said I’d help him, and didn’t,” I protested. “They’ll blame me for his overdose. I can’t stand being yelled at.”

“Oh, grow up, you big baby,” she countered. “It’s bad enough that you didn’t post anything on his Facebook wall. If people don’t see you there…well, word gets around, doesn’t it?” Naturally, she made no offer to accompany me.

So, the day came. Half-strangled by my new tie, feeling as if my toes were fusing together, so tight were my new dress shoes, I walked into a chapel. Sneering at the sandals worn by a few mourners, I made my way to the funeral guest book and wrote my name—clearly, lest anyone call me absent.

Feeling as if I was being pointed out by old classmates I’d rather not reconnect with, I claimed some pew space, stared lapward and twiddled my thumbs, waiting for the service to begin.

Then I became aware of a bizarre sort of sobbing. At least, I assumed it to be such until I noticed three beautiful women in the pew across the aisle. Dressed in identical, semi-formal, black dresses, they leaned forward to make heavy eye contact with me, never closing their mouths. And, indeed, their laughter sounded as if it was pouring out of harmonicas. The Mirthful Maidens, I thought, astounded. Still, no other mourner seemed troubled by them.

As one funeral officiant or another stepped behind the pulpit and began blah-blah-blahing, and the Mirthful Maidens continued belching their bizarre laughter, I wondered if I was being pranked. Had Morty paid those women to act that way, then committed suicide? Was he even dead in his open casket, or was he ready to spring up and shout, “Joke’s on you!” Was everyone but me in on it? What else could I do but flee?

And, of course, when I told my wife about it that night, after nearly an hour of cunnilingus that only one of us enjoyed, she snickered. “My, oh, my, is my big, strong, handsome man jumping at campfire stories? Does he need a kiss from his momma? Will that make it better?”

Gina kissed my forehead, then fell asleep.

Listen, whoever’s reading this, I know most people have never given any thought to the percentage of women who wear black. It’s a very flattering color choice—fashionable, elegant, mysterious, even slimming. The color fits nearly every occasion, every skin tone and body shape. So, there’s really no way to avoid it when going out in public.

Similarly, in a free society, people laugh when they please, even if what comes out of their mouths when they do so is somewhat discordant. Not all vocal cords are the same; some people laugh like Fran Drescher does. But, please believe me when I assure you that what flows from the throats of the Mirthful Maidens isn’t human.

So maybe this is some kind of It Follows/Smile kind of curse—though, rather than being the only one who can see the whatever-the-hell-they-really-are, I’m just the only person who’s bothered by them. To everyone else, it’s perfectly normal to have gorgeous chicks dressed in black, laughing and laughing, anywhere and everywhere, all the time.

A couple of months after Morty’s funeral, I was at a steakhouse with my wife and daughters. It was my birthday, so I was allowed to gorge myself on a fourteen-ounce, Oscar-style ribeye and a basket of fries, plus a couple of Pepsis to wash them down with, as my tablemates nibbled at salads. Just as I was preparing to broach the notion of dessert, a familiar sound caught my attention.

There were four Mirthful Maidens, in black V-neck dresses, occupying a table to the right of us. Meeting my eyes, they laughed their strange laughter, with nothing on their tabletop other than their folded hands.

“What’s wrong, Daddy?” asked Kenna. “Why are you starin’ at those women?”

“Do you know them, or somethin’?” asked Casey.

“The Mirthful Maidens,” I muttered. “They were stalking Morty, now they’re following me.”

“Okay, that’s enough soda for your father,” said Gina, waving our waiter over. “Let’s go home and give him his presents.” To me, she whispered, “Don’t you dare make a scene.”

On the drive home, I tried to redeem myself. “None of you thought those women were strange, huh? Just sitting there, laughing nonstop, eating and drinking nothing at a restaurant.”

“They must have just arrived,” said Gina. “Don’t blame them for bad service.”

“Our service was fine, though. And didn’t you hear their laughter? Humans don’t make sounds like that. It was like something out of a nightmare.”

“God, Daddy, you’re so cringe,” said Casey. “Women are allowed to have fun in public without a man around, ya know.”

“Yeah, this isn’t the eighteen hundreds,” chimed in Kenna. “You don’t have to be frightened just ’cause they’re havin’ fun.”

“That’s telling him, girls,” Gina commended. “Never let some Neanderthal try to put you in your place. Not even Daddy.”

“That’s not what I was…ah, you know what, forget it.” If ever a man, alone, has won an argument against three ladies, I’ve yet to hear of it.

Speaking of arguments, over the years, I’ve noticed that whenever a female I know takes issue with another female and wishes to badmouth her, I’m supposed to echo that disparagement: “What a bitch,” “Who does she think she is,” etc. But whensoever a woman gets on my bad side and I speak ill of her to another lady, the lady I’m talking to always takes the other woman’s side. “Consider her perspective,” they tell me. “Every woman has had umpteen horrible encounters with horny, psychotic walking boners. How was she supposed to know if you’re a good guy or a bad guy?”

Like, suddenly, I’m Mr. Misogynist, out to undo women’s suffrage and overturn Roe v. Wade, just because I took umbrage when a drunk chick grabbed my glasses off of my head and tried them on without asking, then dropped them when handing them back, then laughed at their cracked lenses. Do you know what I’m saying, fellas?

So, yeah, just like with Morty, the Mirthful Maidens have become a regular feature in my life, appearing with increased regularity. Never have I seen the same Maiden twice; never have they shut their damn mouths.

I’ve seen them at the gym, on the street, and staring from the windows of passing vehicles. I’ve seen them in the background of old sitcoms, ravaging laugh tracks. I’ve seen them on airplanes, seen them in my dreams. And, of course, I’ve heard them, too.

Eventually, I started photographing them with my iPhone, pretending to be texting people, snapping shot after shot of Maiden after Maiden. I figured that I’d expose them on social media, create a Facebook page where others bedeviled by them could contribute. Then Gina got ahold of my phone one night and beat the shit out of me until I deleted every shot.

“Pervert!” she screamed. “What, am I not good enough for you?! You have to go around taking upskirt shots?! You’ll end up on the sex offender registry!”

“Those weren’t upskirt shots,” was my sad defense. “You don’t think it’s strange that I’m seeing women dressed in black everywhere I go, and they’re always laughing like malfunctioning androids?”

“You’ve caught your friend Morty’s delusion,” she said, “but you’re a married man, not an incel. You don’t have to view women as a hostile force. Keep this up and we’ll have to put you on some kind of antipsychotic medication.”

Naturally, I spoke no more of the Mirthful Maidens to Gina…until I arrived home from grocery shopping one Saturday and found six of them in our living room.

There my wife was—wineglass in hand, eyes twinkling with imbibed cheer—delivering high school anecdotes as if hosting longtime friends. Around her, quite drinkless, were a half-dozen beauties in black blazer jackets and black slacks, belching their hideous laughter in bizarre synchrony.

Noticing me, Gina cooed, “Oh, hello, honey. We have company today. Put those groceries away, pour yourself a soda, and come join us.”

On the way to the kitchen, ignoring the Maidens’ gazes, I paused to kiss my wife on the cheek, then whispered into her ear, “What the hell’s going on?”

“Be nice,” she hissed back at me.

Okay, I’ll admit it. During my brief time in the kitchen, I thought about fleeing through the back door, and hopping fence after fence until I was at least three cities distant. My teeth were chattering. I was more goosebumps than man. My every small hair felt ready to launch from its follicle. But, for all that I knew, my wife was in danger. So, I slapped myself across the face a few times, did some deep breathing exercises, and returned to the most surreal, one-sided conversation that I’ve ever heard.

“Oh, you absolutely must try their scallops; they melt in your mouth,” said Gina, scarcely audible over the grotesque laughter. “They make this blackened swordfish with Cajun butter, too. Oh my God, it’s so good. That’s why we ladies get married, isn’t it? So that we can force our husbands to order food we want to try, then snatch bits of it off their plates without seeming gluttonous.”

Gina’s always been talkative when in the right company, but this time, she really outdid herself. With nary a lull, she segued from food to theater, then to reality television, then to traveling, then to the challenges of raising twin daughters.

When she tried to draw me into the conversation, I nodded and mumbled nonsense, unable to hear so much as a syllable of my own utterances. I doubt that Gina even noticed. Whatever validation she acquired from the Mirthful Maidens’ unending laughter had really galvanized her. If she didn’t have to stop for a potty break, she’d have gone until her voice gave out.

After my wife exited the room, I somehow found the courage to grab the nearest Mirthful Maiden by her shoulders. “What are you doing in my house?” I demanded. “Why have you been following me? Have you hypnotized my wife, somehow? I mean, what the fuck?”

Of course, the only answer that I received was more laughter. And so, my temper overcame me and I began to shake the woman. Her head violently rocked back and forth, and her mouth stretched all the wider.

“Who are you people?” I hissed. “What are you?”

Then most of her head, from the upper jaw up, spilled over her back like a Slinky, revealing a vast chasm within her, from which indigo light spilled. I couldn’t look away from it, even as I realized that the radiance was emanated by a substance that looked like moldy cream cheese, which shaped itself into a replication of poor, doomed Morty’s face and shrieked a shriek that couldn’t be heard over the laughter.

Time fell away from me then. When next I returned to my senses, I was reclining on the couch with Gina pressing a wet rag to my forehead. My daughters were looming over me, too, biting their lips.

Sitting up, I asked, “Are they gone?”

“Are who gone?” replied Gina.

“Those women you were talking to. Did you see them leave?”

“Women? What women? You must’ve been dreaming after you passed out. What happened there, anyway? Did you drink enough water today? Let’s get you on your feet and find you a doctor.”

It’s been years since that day. Still, the Mirthful Maidens await me all across my city and beyond it, all the time, always laughing, always staring, in sunshine and pouring rain. Sometimes I sneer at those bitches or raise my middle finger at them, but mostly I pretend as if I don’t see them, just like everyone else does.

My wife now goes to the gym with me, five days a week, bouncing from weights to cardio with ease, reclaiming her old hourglass figure. She’s dyeing her hair black, too, the same color it used to be. At least, I think she’s dyeing it. Friends and strangers elbow me and tell me how lucky I am to have landed her. I wonder if they’re right.

My daughters are shedding their baby fat now and acquiring the curves people covet. They no longer seem much interested in their phones, though.

Sometimes, when I’m dining with my three ladies, in my peripheral vision, one of their mouths seems to widen more than it ought to. Sometimes, when I crack a dumb dad joke, the three of them start laughing and laughing and it seems that they’ll never stop. And don’t get me started on all the black clothes they’ve been buying.
