#Ashton’s my favorite can you tell?

[mommymilkersmac-n-cheese]

Can’t wait for the fics about the group actually noticing Ashton’s panic attack. Craving that sweet sweet Ashton angst hurt/comfort chronic pain oml.

I think if they had them (and didn’t want them) he would have got them thangs hacked off back alley style

Ash with Jordan Greenwald on IG

[towards-toramunda]

I will never be over this look. Look at them. LOOK AT THEM! THEYRE SO COOL! THEY LOOK LIKE A SUPERHERO! Bell’s Hells really is the X Men of exandria, Ashton and Imogen’s art alone proves it.

🏳️‍🌈💎 <-also for ask game

🏳️‍🌈 Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?

Yes! I'm transmasc, biromantic, and asexual!

💎 What’s your most prized possession?

Okay I'll give one more. I've been trying to collect every Raichu card from the English TCG and I've gotten a good chunk of them, so i'd say that's probably up there :>

[ashtonisvibing]

because my friend- never responded to my message to them about this, uhhhhhhhhh introduction to my oc fern + the angsty lore i came up with, because i gotta share it with someone :3

so, fern (ey/em) is an angel. not related to christianity, i just have no better term, and ey're basically an angel. well- technically an angel in training, but semantics aside. there's a whole hierarchy that i haven't planned out yet, but the highest (ignoring the highest of them all, only known as the "higher one". i'm so creative) of them all are the all-seers. they work as it says on the tin, they see everything and make sure all the "lesser beings" stay in line

anyways, fern's sent down to earth to start eir training to become an angel, and while down there ey meet a fallen angel (my friend's character). which, y'know, would be tolerable... if ey didn't also befriend him. and even go so far as to grow feelings for him. and the all-seers don't miss anything.

however, the all-seers decide to give fern a single chance. when ey come back for eir evaluation, if ey tell the truth about befriending a fallen, ey will be forgiven and can become an angel. ey're never told about this information. so, on the day of eir evaluation, ey lie in the hopes that the all-seers can be tricked.

but you can't trick the all knowing.

so fern is punished. all of eir powers are stripped away, ey're branded with the mark of the fallen, and eir wings are burnt so badly they become black and unusable. ey're then tossed back down to earth to painfully wander the city streets until ey find eir friend again

and i mention all this, cuz i wanna share something else, and it's that i think after getting used to being a fallen and basically having as much freedom as one could have to explore themself, ey start getting a HEAVY interest in the kink community and learning about kinks and such. and yes, ey do discover ey have some kinks of eir own, but it's mostly just learning for the sake of learning

[pawthorn]

dude reading your meta for the first time literally can't tell if you hate ashton or not OP and that's fucking hilarious

Ashton is my favorite of the Hells.

No hard feelings Anon, I get it, but it’s wild to me that fandom has progressed to the point where you can’t point out that a character has a limited point of view without it being seen as possible hate.

I think Ashton is wrong, but their pov makes sense based on his life experience. It adds drama. It makes us wonder what the party as a whole will do next.

Characters can be myopic and smug and petty and hypocritical, I don’t care as long as they’re interesting.

Ashton is interesting.

older - LECLERC

pairings: charles leclerc x male!singer!reader (fc: luke hemmings)

summary: singer yn ln releases a love song with his boyfriend, and the public are not prepared for who it is about

authors note: this has been on my mind for SO LONG. i honestly dont like how many fics ive been doing on the same people (charles, lando etc) but whenever i go to start a new one on my list for someone else i think of something that i have to do😭 also in this reader is not a part of 5sos but close friends with the 3, wfttwtaf is readers album and older is exclusivly the readers song

authors note 2: i wanted to quickly clarify i am NOT speculating that charles or luke are gay/queer and this is not my intentions. luke obviously sings older and i find it easier to visualise it this way, while the reader in this is male, this could also be read as gn!reader. this is FICTION please do not tkae this as me speculating anything

authors note 3: i didnt really know what i was doing with this so its kind of all over the place and very rushed :/ but then again when arent my smau all over the place?? also can you tell i hate writing comments by the way i just dont😭

we started this song together back in 2020 and picked it back up at the end of 2022

'Older' was originally a voice memo of a 50’s-style love song that we wrote together, then forgot about. when thinking of concepts for my debut album i stumbled across the memo and fell in love with it all over again, but i put it aside yet again as to me, it deserved more than the album

the song has changed a lot from the original voice memo, but the meaning has stayed the same throughout. despite all the beauty, the ups and downs of a long-term relationship over many years, there’s inevitably going to be the worst moment of your love because one of you is going to lose each other

capturing those feelings in a song was tricky but ultimately we wrote from the heart and i think it shows in the song itself

this has always been a song between us, so having him play on this song was very importnt to me and im glad he said yes

older is now yours

after having time to process this show, I feel so overcome with gratefulness. my music means so much to me and seeing so many people resonate with it in a live space was so special for me.

charlie, my life would literally fall apart without you and this would have never happened without you giving me the confidence to do so, i hold so much love and admiration for you

thank you for joining me on such a special night and performing our song with me, thank you for sticking with me through it all and thank you for allowing me to share this part of my life with you

i sometimes wonder where i would be if i didnt find you, if i wasnt blessed with your love. i try to think about the times before you, before us, but both feel impossible to do after feeling your love

life with you is so special and i promise to always cherish and love you

merci de m'avoir laissé vieillir avec toi, merci de m'avoir laissé t'adorer, merci de m'avoir choisi (thank you for letting me get old with you, thank you for letting me adore you, thank you for choosing me)

[haitherecaringmonke]

NRC staffs meeting Lucille’s Pokemons

Dire Crowley - Klefki

“Miss Beaumont please tell your monster to give me back my keys !”

Moves: Astonish, Play Rough, Fairy Lock, Flash Cannon.

It can be said that Klefki is one of the strangest monsters that Crowley has ever encountered in his entire life.

While he expected monsters looking like animals, he never expected one to look like a key-chain.

Klefki, like many Fairy types, is rather mischievous. And like many of Lucille’s Pokemons, he greatly dislikes Crowley for all the bs the man had put his trainer through.

Since Crowley decks himself in keys, Klefki felt obligated to steal from him. And just pike any other Klefkis, this one will not let go of the keys he had stolen from the Headmaster.

One time while Lucile was out cold after a long day of doing Crowley’s tasks, Klefki stole one of her enclosure keys and unlocked the gate to a certain padlock.

Crowley’s screams can be heard all the way from RSA as he was being chased by Kleki, who is leading Tyrantrum right to the masked man.

Divus Crewel - Eevee

“What an adorable little pup, and to think you can become one in eight different forms when you grow up!”

Moves: Tackle, Swift, Baby-doll Eyes, Quick Attack

It’s no surprise that Crewel is a fashion icon with the most fabulous outfits, but at the end of the day, the man is still a designer, and a lot of times designers have art block.

This is not good for Crewel, so he went outside to get some fresh air, maybe drop by Ramshackle to see if he can came up with any ideas by seeing the Pokemons.

While the man is scrolling through Lucille’s PokeDex, Eevee came over to him and curiously sniffed his pant leg.

Crewel was quite curious of this little fox dog thingie, he had to admit that it was quite adorable. He was well behaved and let the older man pet him as he pleases.

It wasn’t until Lucille told him how Eevee can have 8 different evolutions did Crewel’s interest piqued.

Upon seeing the eight different Eeveelutions, his mind exploded with inspirations. He thanked Lucille, took her PokeDex and Eevee with him and left.

About a week later, Crewel (begrudgingly) returned a very pampered Eevee to Lucille. She did received some new outfits inspired by the Eeveelutions as well as outfits inspired by the Pokemons on her Main Team as compensation though.

Mozus Trein - Meowscarada (Puss)

“You know, you might be my favorite monster out of the bunch”

Moves: Flower Trick, Energy Ball, Fake Out, Dark Pulse

The first time Trein met Puss is when he wandered into the lecture hall on accident. The professor was about to leave when Lucius spotted the humanoid feline creature lurking behind the door.

Lucius, being somewhat territorial, attacked the poor Magician Pokemon, who could only dodge out of fear. Trein had to step in and intercept.

Despite the scuffle, Puss didn’t stop visiting Trein every chance he get to show off some of his magic tricks and the poor man doesn’t understand why.

It wasn’t until later on when he asked Lucille why Puss keeps visiting him, turns out Trein and Lucius reminds Puss of Lucille’s father and his old and aggressive Purrloin. Trein felt honored at the statement, as for Lucius, it might take a while for him to finally warm up to the Magician Pokemon…

Ashton Vargas - Aqua Breed Tauros (Fernando)

(There’s no gif of Aqua Breed Tauros so please have this gif of regular Tauros instead)

“Hahaha! You have raised quite a fantastic beast Beaumont!”

Moves: Horn Attack, Zen Headbutt, Raging Bull, Aqua Jet

It all started when Lucille asked Vargas if she could have some of her Pokemon out so they could let out some steam instead and the man happily agreed, claiming the more the merrier.

So Lucille let her Pokemon out, mostly the ones that are active and have lots of energy to burn, with Fernando being one of them.

Fernando, other than running with the other Pokemon, also had another mission being chase after some of the students that are slacking off when Vargas wasn’t paying attention.

It worked very well since nobody wanted to be ran over by a water bull.

Fernando received some hearty pets from Vargas while his trainer received a pat on her back (that almost toppled her over)

Sam - Runerigus

“What do you say fellow ghost? Would you like to help me out at the shop?”

Moves: Shadow Ball, Earthquake, Shadow Claw, Rock Slide

Sam first meet Runerigus when he wandered into Sam’s shop on accident because he was curious about the presences he felt coming from the shop.

Had it not been for his friends on the other side, Sam would have thought the Pokemon is a statue/mural of some kind and he might have accidentally sell him to someone.

Sam enjoys Runerigus’ company and vice versa. Runerigus is also very careful with navigating around Sam’s shop as to not damage anything (because Lucille can’t exactly afford to pay for the damages)

Runerigus offers Sam his help whenever the man lets him stay around his shop. As a few unfortunate students have discovered that Runerigus is very good at spotting thieves.

[distant--shadow]

Do you have any favorite imogearne moments you'd like to share? Could be big moments or small moments, anything that stands out to you. Love your art btw!!!

ohhh, off the top of my head? okaaayyy-

Imogen telling fearne to not go to wondering round the back area by herself, fearne pulling a face at her and Imogen being instantly weakened, "she's so charming!" the gay panic is so real

when Imogen looks for the "bubble bead" thinking she has it after laudna asking who does, and in fact fearne had it hidden away under her ear, just love the playfulness that's something Imogen needed/needs so much

on that note, fearne rocking the cable cars, of course.

them bonding over shitty parents and both letting their violent tendencies show

all that bonding over both being ruidis born. period talks and kissing. yes.

when laura/Imogen gets confirmation for the first time that her circlet blocks out all of the background static, and everyone's so happy for her and fearne is all "you don't even know what I'm thinking now" and wiggling her eyebrows and Imogen is like "I can probably guess..."

the two of em rolling Nat 20s to buy smut. my women.

Imogen sharing her apple with fearne whilst they're on their witchy bitch Whitestone mission

"FEARNE. SIT ON ME." "OKAY!"

uhmmm fearne as the leaf sheep sea slug and Imogen fucking losing it at the thought of kissing her/eating her ass once she remembers she is a sea slug, and then feeding her a good berry afterwards caus she feels guilty for siphoning power from a lil guy.

fearne sticking up for Imogen that time ludinus crashed their meeting in the office at the University. the two of them in their chairs interrogation style with fearne being all sassy was 2 much 4 me.

[SPOILERS] just a lot of episode 108, for me, dragon riding goes without saying but also more trauma bonding and looks etc etc. them navigating their feelings on possibly being the vessel and potentially together is actively killing me, fearne ignoring ashtons set up of "I've got my pillow and blanket and I'm heading to the meadow" to instead reach for Imogen and ask for her to dream...

I know I will have forgot some things here, but they're my women. I love their dynamic so much.

(thank you! always happy to read that people like my drawings and also enabling me to chat)

I also have intentions of clipping a bunch of these, life's just been busy!

☣️🍳Krahn n Akna revival!!!

ive redesigned my twst kronk and yzma to their true and FINAL form [im fr this time cos im really happy with them] !!

complete bios under the cut blehh 😋

rbs>likes !!

Name: Krahn Quiroz

Age: 31

Height: 210 cm

Homeland: Sunshine Lands

Affiliation: Night Raven College Staff, The Squirrel Scouts

Occupation: Head-Chef of the cafeteria, Teacher's assistant, Scout facilitator

Subject taught: Science-centric subjects since he mainly assists Akna in teaching

Favorite food: Papas a la Huancaina

Hobby: Dabbles in a LOTTT of hobbies, but cooking is his main one!

As the Head Chef, Krahn is one of the few friendly faces in the Night Raven College staff, he has that warm and welcoming aura to him that's able to put anyone at ease just by being around him. He's popular with the students by how nice he is, and he's friends with a lot of students that pass by the cafeteria for lunch. He and Akna are a package deal, and are often seen together, and even gets dragged into helping Akna with her schemes. Krahn may be rather dim witted most of the time, in fact he isn't exactly the brightest tool in the shed, but ultimately he has a heart of gold, and is genuine in everything he does.

Trivia:

Krahn is very athletic and has inhumane stamina, you could say he's a gymbro, he can run around the field track for like 10 hours straight and not even show ANY signs of fatigue.

also serves as a scout facilitator for an elementary scout group in his off time! he's great friends with the kids there, they often just go hiking to explore nature ..and to learn how to talk to squirrels.

Great friends with Ashton, they're workout buddies!! Though Krahn isn't too keen on Ashton's … raw egg eating habits.

His hugs AND his spinach puffs are life-changing

Name: Akna Yglesias

Age: 35

Height: 185 cm

Homeland: Shaftlands

Affiliation: Night Raven College Staff

Occupation: Substitute Alchemy/Potions professor

Subject taught: Sciences [Alchemy, Potions, and Biology]

Favorite Food: Ceviche

Hobby: Making potions, studying alchemy, trying to take Divus' place as Alchemy teacher

Theatrical, grandiose, and short-tempered, Akna Yglesias is a teacher at Night Raven College who has a very commanding presence and is someone who knows exactly what she wants and goes through various lengths to get it. As a substitute not only does she fill in on unavailable science teachers, she is also responsible for co-facilitating science-centric clubs. Her schemes to take over the teaching position for herself are over-the-top and her jealousy moreso. She's a genius in alchemy, but Divus had long been established as the Alchemy Professor when she started working in NRC, and has vowed to take him down ever since.

Trivia:

Values lab safety more than anything, and always changes her clothes into something more appropriate for her classes. Enforces this onto Divus and her students as well, much to their dismay.

Is one to call Divus out on any mistakes he makes, she's a substitute after all, shouldn't she help? Give him a nudge? A rough shove even?

Has a very close familial bond with Krahn, a bond that has existed way before their years working for NRC

During her years of working, she's constructed a secret lab in the undergrounds of the campus, and all without Crowley's knowledge, how Crowley hasn't figured it out even she can't tell why.

[kaitheenbydoesthings]

My favorite moments so far, in no particular order:

Everything Grog says

Ashton

Keyleth telling all of Vasselheim to get their shit together

Laudna/Marisha prodding Keyleth about "the feathered guy who got turned into a little marble" & Keyleth's response

Marisha "It's my character I can bully her if I want to" Ray

Vex's reaction to Laudna having Delilah in a Soul Gem "I might sleep well tonight, thank you."

Keyleth recounting VM adventures to the Hells

I'm totally forgetting some and will add more later

[utilitycaster]

but you do have to admit that you write your 2k meta's mostly because you want (negative) attention? otherwise I don't understand why you are not writing more of your faves instead?

Sure! I can explain why I wrote this piece, which I assume is the reason you're asking this now.

I wrote it because I naturally had thoughts about the group dynamics of Bells Hells after the episode and started thinking about why this group is so disconnected this far into the campaign when, for example, the Mighty Nein, who had far more friction and conflict early on in the campaign, were positively ride or die by this point. I also really did genuinely find the degree of pressure that Imogen and Laudna have been putting on Fearne to be excessive and had been quietly thinking about it since episode 75 - they were the ones to initially make a big deal about "Emperor and Empress" (the fact that Ashton mentioned the party's positive reinforcement of the shard's retrieval being a factor in their choice is relevant here), I was reminded by someone else regarding Laudna's immediate shutdown of Fearne's attempt to tell the truth in episode 77, and then they called her out in front of everyone after she had expressed that she didn't want it to Morri. It made a clear pattern that I felt was interesting to explore, and in doing so I started asking myself if there were other patterns of behavior. I linked to someone else's post as well in there that talked about how Imogen and Laudna pretty much always act together in group discussions in my post because that was also an inspiration, and I've also talked a lot in the past about how Imogen and Laudna rarely bring up their own sources of conflict with each other, so the fact that their accusations towards Fearne are in the same scene where Imogen expresses disgust about Delilah's presence also is very relevant to their general group dynamics, since their own relationship with each other is very central to how they interact with the group.

I do write about my favorite characters as well. I wrote pretty extensively about Ashton after episode 78, as well as a bit about their conversation with Orym, but Ashton just had their big moment of explosion and I need to let that simmer or something else to happen before I have any longer posts. I've also, if not written anything myself, reblogged a lot of great posts about Chetney's fantastic reveal which I think tied up that whole exercise beautifully with a truth that was not a passive-aggressive accusation of others nor a self-flagellation but a realization of his own behaviors as well as an explanation to the group without expecting anything in return. In talking about the shard I did touch on my main feelings about Fearne in this situation but again I think I need to see how she actually reacts to the information she received here to actually have meta of substance, rather than "oh, interesting." And you can go through my archives if you'd like to see more; I'm usually pretty good about tagging by character.

But also: I like writing criticism, specifically. It is fun for me. I find that writing helps me arrange my ideas and understand them better, and sometimes I even change my opinion when I revisit the text or find my argument doesn't hold together on an intellectual level, even if I feel something emotionally. I've changed my mind about characters before through writing meta! Sometimes more positively, sometimes more negatively, but it happens, because the act of writing meta, if you do so well, is an act of interrogating your own pre-existing opinions and making sure they make sense to people who aren't you.

I also think there's value in writing things that aren't universally positive. Again, it forces you to actually think through what isn't working for you or what you dislike or what traits characters have that you think are causing problems for people around them rather than just saying UGH THIS SUCKS. But also, writing up how you'd fix a plot you don't like or how you'd resolve a conflict requires you have empathy for the creators or for the characters. Sometimes, even if a piece isn't, in your opinion, good, writing criticism of it helps you understand why a creator may have made that choice you didn't like. You can disagree or dislike something while still respecting it, and making yourself explain it to other people is a really good way to process your own feelings rather than stewing in them. I find people who never express any negativity openly are often deeply resentful and unpleasant and passive-aggressive. Indeed, that's arguably the whole point of that honesty exercise! This party keeps trying to smooth things over and so a lot of valid concerns or complaints they have about each other have since metastasized into something far more hurtful.

I can't speak for everyone, but a lot of meta writers write meta because it's genuinely a fun hobby for them. When I was writing my piece about Dimension 20's genre experiments I stayed up later than I should have several times because it was interesting and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget how I was planning out the piece. I like writing a lot, and I've always preferred to write essays and criticism to fiction - I like to think I have a knack for the former that doesn't come as naturally for the latter. My brain jumps to analysis more easily than the invention of plot.

If you don't like the things I chose to write about, that's completely valid. But I'm not doing it for negative attention. I'm doing it because it's enjoyable for me. How you respond to it and how it makes you, specifically, feel, doesn't enter into my consideration. It's 2k words because that's how long it took me to say what I was thinking and it's about Imogen and Laudna's effect on the group dynamic as I understand it because that's what I was thinking about since it was very present in this episode, and I wrote it because I like writing.

Hopefully that explains it!

[greenteaandtattoos]

the crew pretending to have never heard of their old characters while playing their current characters never fails to make me cackle because they can almost never keep it together.

my favorites are fcg saying keyleth sounded stupid, ashton telling trinket to shit in percy’s shoes, orym and chetney doing the “nein” “nine?” “there’s only seven of you” “we lost two along the way” joke with caleb, and deanna correcting imogen that she’s pretty sure “laerryn” was actually pronounced “lorraine”.

[lovebombs4life]

first - a.f.i.

requested: no, got the idea while at work of all places

a/n: i still have three requests left to do and i’ll work on them soon but ive been having a tough time coming up with ideas for them 😔

cw: SMUT!!!! virgin!reader, fingering, protected sex, progressively gets rough, boyfriend!ash, fluff end :)

———

i giggled as ashton walked me to his front door. we had just gotten back from our celebration of dating for six months. he made sure everything was perfect. he brought me to my favorite little restaurant, and made sure there were my favorite flowers sitting in a little vase on the table.

despite dating for six months, ashton and i hadn’t had sex. this was my first real relationship, real love, that being said, i was a virgin. he knew, of course, and he fully respected my choices. sure we’d made out before, and i’ve ground against him while doing so, but it never got much farther than him grabbing my breasts.

tonight was going to fully change. i knew i was ready. id been ready for a couple weeks now, but i wanted it to be on our anniversary. he invited me to sleep over, so it had been perfect for me to play out everything. we stepped into his apartment, heading to his room.

he started grabbing clothes for me, intending for us to cuddle then fall asleep. as he was grabbing clothes from the closet, i pulled my dress off, leaving me in a set of dark colored lace panties. i had decided against wearing a bra, making his job of undressing me easier in the long run.

“alright i’ve got a pair of sweats and- shit.” his eyes widened as he stepped out seeing me. he set the clothes on top of his dresser, walking towards me, grabbing my hips. “what’s all this for, y/n?” he asked, struggling to keep eye contact with me.

i shrugged, smiling innocently. “thought i could give you a little present for our six month.” i said, pulling him down to kiss me. he grabbed onto my hips, lifting me to his waist. he groaned as i ran my fingers through his hair, tugging slightly. he slowly lowered me to the bed, my legs still around his waist. he kissed down my neck, leaving soft bites against my collarbone.

“please, ash, want you.” i whined as he kissed my breasts. he lifted his head, looking into my eyes. his eyes were filled with lust and hesitation. “i’m ready, ash, ive known for a few weeks now that i want you to take my virginity, please, baby, take me.” i told him, pulling him close to my body. he gasped, kissing me again.

his hand held my waist, while the other trailed to my clothed heat. he softly grazed between my legs, applying pressure to my sweet spot. i yelped at the sensation, throwing back my head. “how ‘bout i take these off, yeah?” he asked. i nodded eagerly as his fingers hooked into the sides of my panties.

his warm fingers spread my lips open, grazing against my slit, gathering the wetness to lube up his fingers. “you ready, darling? i’ll only start with one, okay? if you need me to stop then you tell me.” he asked. i nodded. he bit his lip before speaking again. “want to hear you, lovely, need verbal consent.” he said. my heart melted.

“yes ash, want your fingers.” i breathed, waiting for him to do something. he slowly slid one finger inside my dripping core, making me moan softly. he chuckled at my sensitivity. he slowly moved inside me, curling his finger upwards. “can you take another?”

“fuck, yes, need more.” i begged. he smiled as he kissed my shoulder. he slid in another finger, i clenched around him. “relax, love, you’re doing so good.” he cooed. i relaxed my body, feeling as he slowly stretched me out. i moved my hips against his fingers, practically riding them. “want m-more.” i whimpered, wanting his cock inside me.

“are you sure you’re ready?” he asked once more. i rolled back my eyes, trying to keep my breathing normal as he lumped his fingers in me. “so ready, ash, please, want your cock inside me.” i whined. his breath hitched at my dirty words. he pulled his fingers out of me, bringing them to his lips, sucking them clean. i moaned at the sight, hearing his groans as he tasted me on his fingers.

he unbuttoned his white shirt, quickly pulling his jeans and boxers off afterwards. i gasped at his length, clenching my thighs. i knew he was big, but damn, i didn’t think it was that big. he chuckled at me softly. he pulled open his nightstand, grabbing out a little foil package. he tore it open quickly, rolling on the condom.

his cock twitched from the sensation, his hand holding down one side of my hips, the other on his cock. “ready?” he asked once more. “please, ash, just fuck me already.” i spread my legs open for him. he groaned at the site of my wet pussy, slowly sliding his tip against my slit.

“it’s gonna hurt a bit, okay? tell me if you want to stop, lovely.” he spoke, giving me a soft kiss. i bit my lip, preparing for his cock. he pushed in softly, making me buck my hips. “easy there, y/n, we’ve got all night.” he giggled slightly. i took in the burn of him stretching me out, the pain being bearable at least. he continued to push inside me, making me wonder when he’d be fully in.

he finally pressed his hips to mine, letting me get used to him. “you okay?” he asked, seeing the slight tears in my eyes. i nodded, kissing him slowly. i pulled away briefly. “start moving baby.” he pulled his hips away from mine slightly before pushing them back towards me. i began kissing him once more, moaning into his mouth.

he steadied his pace, breaking away from me every so often to allow me to catch my breath from our kisses. he sucked my breasts softly, and left small marks on my skin. my nails drug down his back softly, making him buck his hips into me hard. i yelped at the suddenness of it, but wanted more.

“faster, ash, please. need it faster, harder.” i moaned, my nails digging into his back now. he shuddered, picking up his pace. my breasts bounced as he began going harder. his skin slapped against mine, feeling him fill me up completely. smalls moans escaped my mouth as i breathed heavily.

i scratched down his back, making him moan. “doing so well, darling, feel so good.” he kissed my forehead, pounding into me at a fast pace. as he became rougher, i had begun getting more aroused. i lifted my leg up to allow him hit deeper. he grabbed my leg, throwing it over his shoulder.

“don’t want you to be gentle, want you to use me.” i moaned out, looking at him through my lashes. he smirked softly. “already getting corrupted now, are we?” he asked, holding onto my hips tightly, surely leaving marks. i nodded, gasping as he pressed his thumb against my clit.

“we’ll try more another time darling, just wanna make you feel good, take care of you, okay? you’re doing so good baby.” he praised, rubbing my thigh slightly with his other hand. i moaned as he slightly sped up his pace on my bundle of nerves. my eyes fluttered shut, my arms sprawled at my sides, grabbing onto the blankets. my head was thrown back, and my thighs began to shake as he kissed my skin softly.

“go on sweet girl, let it all out.” he encouraged, his pace still quick. i choked out moans as he stroked my sides, still fucking into me. his lips kissed at my shoulders, his hands finding their way to my breasts. the feeling of it all was so stimulating, so wonderful. i squeezed my eyes shut as they rolled back, my orgasm washing over me.

ashton’s name fell from my lips, making him groan as he felt me clench around him, my thighs shaking around his body. “fuck.” he breathed out, his pace slowing as he came. he moved his hand away from my clit, his cum releasing into the condom.

he pulled out, grabbing the condom off his cock and tying it so the contents wouldn’t spill out. he threw it into the little garbage can he had next to his bed, his body falling to the bed, grabbing me and pulling me close. “that was amazing, y/n. are you sore or anything? can i get you anything?” he asked, sitting up slightly. i shook my head, smiling up at him.

“you’re so perfect. can you help me up so i can go to the bathroom?” i asked, he nodded, helping me out of bed. my thighs shook slightly as i stood up. he chuckled, guiding me to the bathroom. i did my thing, coming back out to see ashton all dressed. he was wearing a t-shirt and sweats, his hair was all a mess. he looked adorable.

he smiled at me, handing me the large clothes he had picked out before our activities happened. i pulled on the large sweater, and slid on the sweatpants he gave me. he pulled me to the bed, lifting the blankets for us to lay down together. he flicked off the lamp next to his bed, pulling me on top of his chest. he stroked my hair, kissing me softly.

we let ourselves drift to sleep, but before doing so, ashton whispered. “happy six months, beautiful.”

i blushed. “happy six months, ash.”
