Minho x Reader
Tumblr media
Minho's turn for the cuddle time Chapter!
Thank you @intrikatie, my love for ideas! ♥︎
Cuddle Time Masterlist ~ Here
Info ~ fluff, cuddling
Tumblr media
“Ugh, Finally!” You shout as you step out of the passenger side of the car, leaning back with your arms up in the air to stretching your back with a loud ‘ahhh’
Two hours in the car isn’t very long but it was uncomfortable nonetheless. 
"I'll get the tent set up" Minho says as he walks around from the drivers side and plants a quick peck on your cheek.
He smiles fondly at you and walks around to the trunk of the car to start unloading.
After about an hour and a half of setting up you both finally rest in your respective chairs, next to one another with a campfire blazing a few feet in front of you.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" You say getting up excitedly and running over to the car.
Minho raises an eyebrow at you, but you are too preoccupied to notice. When you return you have a large thermos in your hands and as you walk towards him, the inquisitive look on his face still hasn't dissipated.
"Hot chocolate silly! Remember I packed it this morning." You say and excitedly plop back down in your camping chair to pour a cup of hot cocoa for each of you.
"Oh yeah! That's what you were doing? That's sweet." He smiles at you softly as you hand him his mug, and he takes it. He may not be as expressive as most but you cherish when he is, as it's such a rarity. Almost like an occasion. They way his lips curl upwards and his teeth peak out, a cute soft gummy smile that makes him look like an adorable bunny.
For awhile you both sit in a comfortable silence, drinking hot chocolate, watching and listening to the crackle of the fire. One of your hands are intertwined with one of his, dangling your arms slightly over the armrest of your chairs. Anything to be closer to one another.
His thumb is softly rubbing circles into the skin on the back of your hand as he takes a big sip and finishes his drink. As he lets go of your hand to set his cup down, a loud clap of thunder sounds around you.
You jump slightly not expecting the loud, almost booming sound. A wide smile paints his lips and a chuff leaves him as he finds your reaction endearing.
Your eyebrows knit in annoyance and you push his arm slightly as a small laugh leaves him. He gets up and plants a kiss on your forehead before reaching his hand out for you to grab.
You place your hand is his warm grasp and let him guide you out of your chair. You both stand at the end of the covering, that the tarp you set up earlier, provides as the rain starts to pour down.
Minho wraps his arms around your middle as you lean back into him, your mug of hot chocolate warm in your hands as he rests his chin on your shoulder. You both love to just watch the rain together, the sound of water beating down bringing you both peace.
Peace brings relaxation and relaxation brings drowsiness. You start to slump in his hold, laying more of your weight back into him, your head leaned back into his shoulder and the now empty mug is held loosely between your hands. Feeling you start to grow heavy in his arms, Minho grabs the mug from you.
"Let's go to bed." he says and puts the mug away so no critters get at it in the night.
You shuffle over to the tent and are grateful that you both worked so hard earlier to have everything set up as you can just lay down and rest not with no preparations.
You lay down in what is basically a pillow/blanket fort. Four or five blankets on the large air mattress in the tent, dim light from a battery power gives just enough illumination to the small sleeping space. You get under the many blankets, and as Minho enters the tent and zips it close behind him, you reach your hands up making 'grabby hands' at him.
A smile graces his beautiful lips and he crawls into bed beside you. You snuggle in close to his chest letting his distinct smell surround and relax you. His arms wrap around you, he instantly makes you feel safe and attended to.
"Thank you, for making the time to do this with me." Your voice is soft, just above a whisper so he can still hear you over the pitter patter of rain that still comes down above you.
"I'll always make time for you." His arms wrap around you tighter with his words and you feel his sincerity through it.
Slowly you fall asleep surrounded by his warmth and soft rain around you.

Attention to Detail (M!Reader x M!Demon)
Pairing: Male!Demon Cosplayer x Male!Demon
Genre: Meet-Cute, Misunderstandings, Flirty, Fluffy
Word Count: 2563 words
Warnings: N/A
Summary: Halloween is a great time to subtly flex your cosplay skills, pouring hour and hours into your costume. You’d even found an occult book at a second-hand store for reference! At a house party, someone pays special attention to all your hard work.
Part Two
Request: I’m so glad you’re doing well and good!
Can I request a Male Demon x Male Demon Cosplayer on halloween night? Cosplayer could think that the demon is just another dude unaware of the actual danger he’s in?
and maybe could the demon praise and love cosplayer for cosplaying their kind and getting all the little details just right? 🥹
Sometimes, house parties aren’t so bad.
Sure, they could be crowded, smelly, and way too loud. But that was often a by-product of teenage stupidity and desperation; too many bodies crammed into one place, scrambling for beer and faking adulthood. As an adult they get a lot more tolerable. Comes with practice, you suppose.
This halloween house party has been great so far. You’d come with a group of friends who'd all split up, leaving you to find more drinks in the kitchen, but it wasn’t super stifling. You’d actually gotten a lot of compliments on your costume too, a little ego boost to ease you into socializing with all the strangers.
This kitchen is nice as well. Spacious, lots of counter space, some really nice cooking ware. The kinda thing you appreciate more as an adult. The walls helped block out a lot of the music as well, a perfect hiding hole to refill your beverages and recharge your battery for a second. And adjust your costume. God, leather and sweat do not mix.
You take the time and admire your costume-paint, several runes decorating up and down your bare arms. The paint held up pretty well after dancing for so long, the intricate lines still being cohesive. Your body paint had begun to chafe and smudge a little at your knees and elbows, but luckily were hidden beneath your many leather accessories. 
“Ow, fuck!”
A voice snaps you from your admiration, a shadowed figure with a red solo cup in his hand, now rubbing his forehead.
“Damned horns. These infernal houses are too small…” He doesn’t seem to notice you at all when he ducks his head and enters the kitchen. It makes sense, you’re probably under his line of sight because holy fuck this guy is tall.
You're not the best frame of reference, still sitting on the counter as you are, but he’s pushing 6 '6, maybe even 6' 7. Not including the horns, which seemed to add an extra 3 inches of height alone. You wonder what they’re made of to support their bulk. They stay pinned to his head well too, despite the bump. His paint is immaculately done, dark purple showing no signs of fading or chipping away.
“You need some ice?”
That catches his attention, your quiet voice somehow making this absolute giant of a man jump out of his skin. His eyes are wide, yellow sclera glowing in the dark.
Gotta ask where he got those contacts. They look so real.
Said eyes go up and down, his nose twitching as he takes a deep breath. His face crinkles. Jeez, did you smell that bad? You’d made sure to wear deodorant!
“No…I am alright.” He rubs the sore area again. “It’s just the third time it’s happened. Who lives in this house? Imps?”
That gets a snort from you.
“I think you're just tall, dude. Those horns are killer though, totally worth a casual head injury.”
The tall cosplayer stands a little bit taller, finally relaxing and properly looking you in the eye.
“Thank you. I like..” His eyes narrow, “..yours too.”
You brush a hand across your clip-on horns, gentle enough to not mess with the paint. You had set it, but those hours of shaving down the foam and painting were not to go to waste. “Thanks, not that sturdy but I figured I wouldn’t be headbanging too much tonight.”
The man goes silent, eyes now locked on your arms. You twist your forearm, wondering if maybe the paint had smudged while you weren’t looking.
“Those are incredible.” The man is able to cross the length of the room in just one stride, now firmly in your bubble. You figure he must be a little tipsy and not realize, so you brush it off. Hard to be mad when you’re getting complimented.
“Thanks, man. It was hard getting the shapes just right in the mirror. But I think I did an okay job.”
“You did a fantastic job.” He eyes the specific curves of one rune, the more intricate one on your inner wrist. “People often mess this one up, you see. They forget the toz’goth.”
He gestures to a small arrow-like shape protruding out of the side of the rune.
“Is that how you say it?” The book you had copied from hadn’t had many English sections, most being in a script unrecognizable to you or Google Translate. “Good to know.”
“May I?” The man gestures towards your forearm, palm out and stretched open to hold. You quirk up an eyebrow. You don’t even know this guy's name and he’s already asking for a feel?
But he has been giving me a lot of praise, sooooo.
It’s a mixture of the alcohol and the need for approval that has you nodding, setting your arm into his palm. You finally notice his long, sharp black nails as they gently wrap around your wrist, hand ensconcing it in its size. A textured thumb brushes across your inner wrist. A (hopefully) impercitable shiver runs down your spine.
Can’t say I hate this.
The man mutters under his breath as he traces more and more of the runes, nodding approvingly. You try not to shake with giddy.
“The detail you’ve managed with just a paintbrush is astonishing.” His low voice does pleasant things to your stomach, eyes still locked in thought. 
“Thanks, I got a nice set for Christmas. One benefit of being the ‘artist’ of the family, I guess.” You snort, thinking back to all the cheap sets you’d gotten over the years. The thought was appreciated, if nothing else. “I buy the paint in bulk, it does great for really long wear time. I can send you the link, if you want.”
The man just hums, eyes now crawling farther up your arm to your biceps, then to your shoulders. It lands on your neck and you swear the man darts out his tongue to lick his lips when he lands on your pulse. Your stomach flips again.
“My name's ____, by the way. What’s yours?”
The man's eyes go slightly wide, a smirk curling up the sides. 
“Galvith, the Torturer.”
“Ah, much cooler than mine already.” You play long, a little salty he didn’t give you his real name when you gave yours, but whatever. Maybe he’s just really method with his cosplays, or a more private person in general. “It’s a shame, left all my torturing stuff at home. Otherwise us demons could have had some real fun.”
That gets a laugh, a shockingly boisterous laugh. You see the hints of sharp canines, surely fake, that almost glint in the low light.
“Yes, I bet we could.” Galvith chuckles to himself, almost like he’s remembering an inside joke. “I’d be the brawn, you’d be the brains behind the operation?”
“Well, if you insist.” You throw your hand in a faux sign of humility. “Just didn’t want you to waste all those muscles, big guy.” Patting his chest is a good way for you to subtly feel his chest, and wow are those pecs prominent. Gotta respect the hustle, Galvith is a brick shithouse.
Galvith takes the compliment easily, going the extra mile and flexing his bicep, which is almost as big as the honeydew melon sitting not too far from you. Thank god you’re sitting, or else you’d have probably swooned already. 
“Think we’d have to get you a different outfit though. Cargo shorts and a graphic tee aren’t really giving ‘torturer’.”
“And I suppose all of this  is?” Galvith flicks at a tassel on your leather vest. “Do you know how hard it is to get blood out of leather?”
“Hey man, don’t hate the look! What kind of torture-expert would I be if I didn’t bring style to the gig?”
“A messy one, that’s what.” Galvith takes a step back eyeing your whole outfit, from your vest to your ripped jeans to your combat boots with studs. “You’re less tortue-expert and more Incubus. All style and,” He eyes up your exposed clavicle, tracing it with his eyes, “-debauchery.”
The word feels so perfect coming out his mouth, like it was molded by it. This hard seltzer must be stronger than you thought, cause you can’t remember the last time a total stranger had you this horny.
“Well maybe I’m looking to change positions. Heard it’s much cushier, being an Incubus and all.”
Gavith chuckles, eyes once more rolling up and down your body. Goosebumps pepper the back of your neck, a primordial something settling in your gut. You're not sure if it’s a good or bad thing.
“You’ve certainly got the looks for it, little one.” He clicks his teeth, fake fangs and all. You’re impressed by the durability, and how he doesn’t seem to speak with a lisp with them in.
You find yourself getting lost in his contacts, yellow and slitted. They don’t seem to be irritating him at all, and you add it to the list to ask what his prescription is. It’ll be hard to remember though, when he places a hand right by your thigh, enclosing into your space.
“Do you like to dance, my little Incubus?”
“Y-yeah.” You swallow the lump in your throat, once again getting lost in his hot gaze, in that sultry look. “Yeah, I like to dance.”
“Good.” A clawed hand settles on your lower back, pushing you off the counter and practically in his arms. On the ground, it’s even more noticeable just how big Galvith is. “Let’s test out that body paint, shall we?”
It’s hot on the make-shift dance floor, despite just being a mat laid out in the backyard, a wireless speaker pumping the top 100 over the party noise. But with Galvith’s hands on your hips, those fangs nipping at the top of your ear, you're steamy.
“I must admit, I’m a fan of this new genre of human music.”
Galvith whispers in your ear, swaying your bodies to the drum beat. 
“I think they call it ‘pop’.” You play along, adding an extra haught to your voice, as if you're really 100 plus years old.
“Hm, like the pop of a vertebrae when you snap it in half. Or a bone being forced out of the socket.”
That has you both laughing, that shared dark humor coming in clutch. You could get down with this kind of roleplay.
“Exactly! The most pleasant sound around.”
Galvith swings you by the hips, your feet nearly lifting off the ground. Your head gets thrown back in a giggle. Seems like those muscles aren’t just for show.
“Oh, what is this?”
Galvith grabs at your necklace, now untucked from your high collar and free flowing. His eyes go slightly wide at the intricate design, composed of several small circles and wrapping lines. 
“A friend made it for me actually. She makes jewelry and I offered to trade some leather pieces for a custom design.” You look at the emblem, wondering if he recognized whatever series the book you found came from. It was extremely detailed, and although a bit on the older side, was full of information too niche to be from any religions you’re aware of. You double checked and everything. 
“Asmaes.” Galvith purrs, twirling the sigils between his fingers. The silver chain rubs against the back of your neck. “Fitting piece, you chose well my little Incubus. Superb craftsmanship as well, kudos to your friend.”
“Thanks, I’ll let her know.” 
Before you can ask him more about the book, he spins you around once more, the world turning as he drops you into a dip. Galvith pulls you up with just as much ease, your ankle hooking around his calf so you don’t collide face-first.
Hot breath blows across your lips, your tongue darting out for just a second. Up-close, those fake fangs look even more real. The closeness is almost too much, your eyes darting to look away. But a calloused thumb presses against your jaw, forcing you to look at him.
“So…delectable.”
Sweat pools at your clavicle as Galvith kisses you. Your costume fangs clank together, almost coming loose in your mouth, but it’s hard to care. Not when his hand comes down to your hip, grabbing you and pushing you against him.
It’s easy to fall into the kiss, for that sense of shame to fall to the wayside, even as he practically devours you in front of all these people. You’re not usually like this, you don’t come to these parties for someone to kiss and grind against. But there’s something about him, something thats drawing you in. It’s hot, like a moth to a flame.
The only thing that drags you out of the lust-bubble is the vibration of a phone in Galvith’s pocket, resonating against the thigh you currently have pressed up against him. He growls into your mouth, pulling back at the very last moment.
Galvith curses in a foreign language, you think, grabbing the phone with one hand, the other still swaying you side to side.
“What?”
You swallow down a weird jump of fear. Jeez, you would not want to be on the other side of that phone call.
An unintelligible voice babbles something from the speaker. The vein in Galvith’s head begins to bulge.
“Fine. Whatever.”
He hangs up as the other person is mid-sentence. You don’t even get a chance to ask who it was, before he steals you in another breath-taking kiss.
“Sorry, little human. I have to go.”
“Oh! Oh, yeah, sorry.” You try to unlodge yourself from his arms, the haze of kissing fading and feeling a little more than embarrassed. God, what came over you? But Galvith’s grip is tight, keeping you in place with an alluring smirk.
“Do not worry, we will meet again. Sometime soon.” 
You try not to let your smile get too wide, to seem too eager. “Sure thing. Do you want my phone number, or-”
Galvith digs his face into your neck, taking a deep whiff. You nearly squeak. He pulls away with a shuddering breath, wetting his bottom lip.
“I’ll know where to find you.”
Finally, Galvith unwinds his arms, letting you free. You find yourself almost lurching forward, desperate to feel that heat again.
It’s gotta be the alcohol, right? That’s the only logical explanation.
Galvith gives you one last peck to the cheek, a cheeky squeeze of your ass.
“Goodbye, my sweetling.”
With that he’s sauntering back into the house, leaving you speechless and breathless. All alone in someone’s backyard.
I gotta find my friends. They gotta hear about this.
Galvith has to sneak into a broom closet to teleport, just barely large enough to fit him. It’s demeaning, even if the spell takes just a second to go through.
Ugh, the one time he finds an interesting human, and he’s called in for an ‘emergency.’ He had wanted to scream at the amatuer demon over the phone. “It’s torture! How hard could it be to figure it out!?”
Galvith steals himself. It will do no good to be angry. Save it for the poor soul currently strung up by his ankles. He takes a deep sniff of the palm of his hand, the smell of leather, denim and your sweat still lingering.
He’ll come back for his little human. One day.

FUCK YOU domestic Remnants of Sephiroth + AC fam headcanons
After being brought into the household by a very disgruntled Cloud and a Mom Instinct Tifa, the Remnants were quickly indoctrinated into their funky found family.
Their first few days were spent shopping for new clothes, accessories, furniture, and other various goodies for their room
Speaking of their room, they all share a single room, but with three separate beds. Cloud's policy is that if they're too pissed off with each other to sleep in the same room, they can sleep on the couch.
They each have their own coffee mug. Loz's has a cat face on it. Yazoo's is one of those mugs that changes colors when a hot liquid is poured into it that looks like a battery being charged. And Kadaj's just says FUCK OFF in sparkly cursive font.
Marlene is quick to forgive and even quicker to get along with the three of them. Denzel, not so much; he's still got a big grudge over being literally mind controlled, which is fair.
Loz is the quickest to befriend everybody because he's got a big heart and is just happy to have a roof over his head. He also feels a bit bad about beating up Tifa, so he jumps on any opportunity to help her with things like cooking or carrying an obscene amount of grocery bags.
Yazoo is second for everyone to warm up to because he's quiet and polite. He mostly just sits and reads during his free time. One time, when she felt confident enough, Marlene just walked up to him and climbed into his lap. He didn't mind at all and she ended up falling asleep there.
Kadaj, as expected, took the longest to adjust. He needed a lot of time to get over his grudges and realize everything about Mother and Sephiroth was pointless. Once he did warm up, though, it was like a flip switched.
His confidence skyrocketed. He made jokes. He laughed. He was happy. Loz and Yazoo were completely unbothered, as if this was normal, but everyone else was shocked. When he was asked about it, Kadaj just shrugged and said he didn't want to waste his time pretending to be negative anymore.
He definitely still has his moments and his mood swings. But otherwise, he was content.
Now for the more fun headcanons:
Yazoo is an absolute fiend for garlic bread. Or anything garlic in general. He could kill a vampire just by standing near it.
Loz assesses everything by sniffing it first.
When they start to get along, Kadaj and Denzel start an ongoing game of punchies.
Loz forces everyone in the family to play card games with him at least once.
Yazoo is overall great with children. Any time he goes out near the local orphanage, the children flock to him with average children questions while begging to touch his hair.
Tifa and Yazoo help brush each other's hair sometimes. Tifa even puts Yazoo's hair in a little braid from time to time.
During the holidays, putting up the tree is a collective effort. At one point Kadaj climbs on Loz's shoulder to try and put the star on the top, which almost pushes the tree over and gives Cloud a heart attack.
Kadaj hangs around Cloud when he's working on Fenrir and is often forced to fetch tools or hold flashlights for him.
The remnants all go with Cloud whenever he visits the church so that they can thank Aerith for giving them another chance.
When the rest of the gang visits, Loz has a blast with Cait Sith and Red XIII, Kadaj has a heated debate with Cid, and Yazoo and Vincent stand in the Antisocial Corner to quietly talk.

Your Umbrella (solomon x reader)
It'd been a long day. The rain poured down like the heavens weeping. He had forgotten to bring his umbrella from home. Resolved to the only good part of his day being getting to get to bed, he set off to Purgatory Hall through the onslaught of rain.
As he walked, he contemplated his life, staring down at the sidewalk. Simeon and Luke had headed back at the end of the school day, but he had to stay behind to help out with setting up for tomorrow's lesson in potions since he'd agreed to help since he knew a thing or two. At the time, he was all for it, but now that he was actually there, he couldn't be dreading it more. The last thing he wanted was to help teach a lesson.
Maybe his social battery was just finally drained, after all these years. Maybe RAD had finally been the thing to wear him down. Or, maybe he just needed to power through it. He had no clue what he needed. But, he had to figure it out, or it he wouldn't find the answer he was searching for. That's that way it'd always been.
Despite always seeming chipper, he wasn't sure how much of that he had left in him. He'd honestly lost track of how old he was at this point. He vaguely remembered his birthday, but for a while, it stopped mattering to him because despite the passage of time, his physical body showed no signs of aging. Most of the demons around him knew this, and it felt like common knowledge. But something none of them had considered was the state of his psyche. The human brain wasn't meant to function for an indefinite amount of time like his. He wasn't sure what it felt like to be normal anymore. Was he even human anymore? Even if he was, he wasn't sure he really enjoyed it anymore. Anything that was joyful about being human he felt like he lost long ago.
Being surrounded by demons who were hundreds of thousands of years older than him was troubling at times like this. Sure he was young by comparison, but that thought didn’t comfort him. He should've died a long time ago. Yet he was still here, and it felt as if he was rotting away from the inside out. They didn't stop to consider the toll of spending so much time with them was taking on. And, it wasn't even like it was anything they did on purpose. He wasn't trying to discredit their efforts of course, but they just didn't know what it was like to be human. If he didn't understand himself, how could they?
At this point, it just felt like he was dragging himself through the days. He honestly wasn't sure how he'd made it this far, or how he'd done this in the past. He felt like a dead man walking. He felt like he was wasting away.
But that's when he met you.
Mc made him feel young again, like he finally had a place to belong. Someone that kind of understood him and the struggles of being human. He didn't know what he'd do without you. You breathed the life back into his daily routine, by doing all sorts of little things you probably didn't even think twice about. You actually understood his struggles, and he felt as if turning to you was embracing the sun's rays. He smiled to himself as he continued to shuffle through the rain. He found himself thinking of you more and more as of late. You were nothing but the sparkle of joy in his day.
Behind him, he heard someone splashing through puddles through the din of rain. As he turned around, with the echo of the smile still on his face, he saw the very person he was thinking about. You had a cute pink umbrella in hand that was proabaly a gift from Asmo, blocking the rain from directly hitting you. However, you were still pretty soaked and water was practically dripping from your RAD uniform.
"Ah! You caught me. I was hoping I could sneak up on you and jump on your back." You walked over to him and immediately pulled him under your umbrella.
"You're so interesting." Solomon found himself laughing a little at your antics.
"What're you doing out here all by yourself? I went looking for you and was told you left in this awful weather." You immediately reached up and brushed his bangs out of his face so you could see his eyes. He reeled for a second, his heart thumping, before remembering he had to respond.
"Oh, I just wanted to get back to Purgatory Hall. Simeon took my bag home with him when he left at normal dismissal, and the rain didn't seem too bad when I left. Clearly, I was wrong." He tried to smile and brush it off, but you saw through him.
"Are you upset again? You don't have to tell me why, but let me just be with you and try to cheer you up, if you'll let me." The smile faded from your face a little, and he saw the concern shine through.
He didn't have it in him to speak, so he just nodded. You grabbed one of his hands with one of yours unoccupied with the umbrella. The way you quickly pulled him close and covered him with your umbrella felt oddly fitting to him. You were quick to grow close to him, for whatever reason, and he felt as if when he was around you, it was alright to feel how he was feeling. "Let's go do something crazy! We're both already wet, so what'd you say to dancing in the rain somewhere, then heading to Purgatory Hall to enjoy a movie together? Your favorite, of course. We might get sick, and while magic could solve that, that just means we could take a few sick days together." You leant into his side, placing your chin on his shoulder.
"I'm following you, Mc." He felt himself begin to smile again. He couldn't lie about how enamored he was with you. He couldn't say no to you. You made him happier, like he didn't just have to let the days bleed together. Not everything was going to go his way, but that's alright. At least he knew you'd be by his side.
Maybe being human wasn't so bad after all.

Make it Up to You
Denki Kaminari x Reader
Kinktober Day 11!!
The last thing you expected to happen on your drive home was to have a body fall practically out of the sky onto the hood of your car. A scream ripped through your throat, and at the sound a head lifted, and even less expected, you were met with the shock of blond hair that signified it was in fact your boyfriend who fell from the sky. He jumped off as quickly as he fell, pulling your hood open and grabbing the battery. Before you could even move, he was off a thumbs up and a cheesy grin in your direction as he ran down the street. Trying to catch your breath, you stepped out of the car, taking in the damage. 
There was a perfect Denki sized dent in the hood, something pouring out of the bottom of your car and onto the pavement. “Ma’am, are you alright?” A cop shouted, running towards you. You were worried about him for sure, ignoring the question as you watched the night sky light up from his attack, “Chargebolt’s quite a powerhouse huh?” He laughed, watching as the sky lit up again, “At least it wasn’t Red Riot, this car would be destroyed from that kids quirk.” He shook his head, looking awkward as he rubbed the back of his neck. The man was nearly old enough to be your grandpa. “Are you alright though, ma’am?”
“Fine.” You mumbled, shaking your head as you looked back at him. The sound of footsteps approaching caused you to look over, the hero returning with the villain slung over his shoulder, grinning as he approached.
“Trade?” He asked the officer, who nodded graciously, going to cuff the villain as Denki sent him down. “Hi, baby girl! Fancy meeting you here.” He cooed, coming up to you for a huge.
“My car…” You whispered sadly, stepping back, causing him to grimace.
“Does it make it better or worse if I say I landed on your car on purpose.” He said slowly, “I’m sorry!” He whined as your eyes flashed back to him. “The agency has been breathing down my neck about property damage and it was either yours or that one,” He gestured over his shoulder to the absolute shit box that was parked right beside where your car had skidded to a stop, his pace quickening as you felt your annoyance rising.
“Kami! My car!” You whined back, “You couldn’t have just landed on the sidewalk like a normal person.” You huffed at him, crossing your arms.
“It hurts my knees- I mean! I saw it was you and I wanted to see you, catch you before you got home!” He fumbled as your eyebrows narrowed, crossing your arms over your chest. “I’m sorry, I promise I’ll make it up to you!” he put his hands together in a prayer motion, bowing slightly to you with his eyes closed.
“You can start by calling me a tow truck.” You huffed back, sitting on the curb with a pout. “And you owe me a new battery.”
“Anything for you, baby girl.” He winked at you, causing you to roll your eyes, a small smile tugging on your lips as he pulled out his phone.
“Chargebolt, sir, I can take care of that.” A different cop had joined you, looking between you both, confused at your familiarity, “You should get back to work sir, we can handle this from here.”
“I got it!” He said back cheerily, “Or else I’m in the doghouse.” He added with a mock whisper, sounding overly terrified for good measure. He winked again at you as you laughed a bit, the other line finally picking up as he described the situation.
“Ma’am, I have some paperwork if you would like to fill out so the city can help pay for the repairs, I’m really sorry you got caught up in this tonight.” He continued, turning to you.
“Thanks, but Chargebolt has actually agreed to pay for all the damages and take me home tonight, so I am all good!” You said to him, causing Denki to blanch as he spoke. The cop nodded awkwardly before leaving the scene, Denki coming to join you on the curb.
“It should only be a few minutes.” he said with a yawn, pulling you into his side. You hummed in reply, resting your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes. You must have started to drift off, lulled by his warmth, jumping a bit as he shook you, yellow flashing lights filling your vision. He stood once making sure you weren’t going to slump to the ground, chatting with the tow truck driver as they loaded your poor car up, gone just as soon as they came. “Come on, baby girl.” he said lightly as he approached you, turning and gesturing for you to hop onto his back. You shook your head at him, a sleepy laugh falling from your lips as you hopped up, his strong grip on the back of your thighs as you curled into his neck.
“Are you mad at me?” He asked delicately, leaning down to grab your purse before beginning the short walk home.
“No.” You mumbled, placing a kiss on the side of his neck, “Not if you carry me wherever I need to go.” 
“That can definitely be arranged.” He laughed back, patting your leg. You hugged him tighter as a reply. He soon reached your door, placing you back on the ground as he fished his keys out. As soon as you got inside, you were suddenly grabbed, shoved against the door with one hand cradling your head and the other tight on your waist. “I’m gonna make it up to you.” He declared, and soon his lips were on you, hot and heated as he pressed into you, causing a moan to slip from you.
He lifted you again after locking the door, carrying you into the bedroom, mouths locked the entire way before unceremoniously throwing you to the bed with a plop. He smirked down at you as you watched him, an all too familiar glint in his eyes. “Pay you back” often meant pinning you down onto the mattress until you screamed, stars in your eyes, and it seemed like tonight would be no different. He was a man on a mission.
Your heart began to thunder as he leaned down, hands sliding under your shirt before pulling it off, your bra soon following. His fingers ghosted over you, static electricity making you squirm below him. “Please.” You begged, already breathless despite the fact that he had barely touched you. 
“Patience.” He chided, before pinching your nipple, a light shock flowing through you in a way that made you shudder below him. His languid pace continued, taking his time, and before long you were practically crying below him, begging for anything really. His hand drifted down, slowly coming to ease your pants off. He spread your legs, easing down between them, blowing lightly on you, causing your hands to fly down to his hair, pulling lightly on it, trying to lead him where you wanted, but he only chuckled lightly at you, rubbing his hands over your thighs. “Needy, baby girl?” He asked, earning a groan of frustration in reply. It felt like just one touch would send you hurtling over the edge.
He ran a single finger through your folds before finding your clit, circling it lightly, and you felt your body instantly sag, truly giving over to him. He laughed lightly again, sending a light bolt directly to your clit and with that single moment, your back was arching as you came around nothing, tears coming to your eyes as you climaxed.
“Kami, please!” You whined, hips bucking away or towards him, you weren’t really sure. 
“Please what?” He smiled up at you, clearly loving this. “What do you want, hmm?” he was driving as he smiled up at you.
“Fuck me!” You cried. He shook his head at you, leaning down to place a single kiss to your clit.
“Not yet, I have to make it up to you first.” His grin was devilish as he met your eye, head finally, finally moving down.

"Then let's be lost together"
Leon x Trainer! Reader
Tumblr media
--------------------------------------------------------------
Warnings: none!
--------------------------------------------------------------
"(Pokemon), return!"
You called back your partner as the wind and the rain continued to blow, not wanting to danger your partner in this weather. You tried to shield your eyes as you looked around to see where you were.
"I can't see anything..." You huffed and pulled out your rotom phone noticing it was low on battery, "can't even call for a taxi either."
You then put your phone away and trudged to an abandoned tower to get some cover from the weather. As you sat your stuff down in the dark room you sighed in relief and turned your flashlight on.
"At this rate, I'll be late to the tournament." You huffed in disappointment and sat down against a wall with your knees to your chest.
Some faint noises could be heard in the background, choosing to ignore it you called out your (electric type Pokemon of your choice!) and asked if they could lend their power to charge your phone.
You looked around in the dark, damp place and sighed again. You looked back at your Pokemon and they looked uneasy and were in a defensive stance.
"What is it?" you asked and looked in the direction your Pokemon was looking at. Your eyes widened when you saw a Pokemon emerge from a shadow. It was a wild Dusclops!
"Okay ready to fight (Pokemon name)? Oh wait you still have my phone in your mouth... Let's go!" You decided to bolt with your Pokemon closely behind you.
You managed to get far enough away from the tower and back in the pouring rain. "Great..."
"Heyy!!" A loud voice called from above you. You looked up and saw an outline of a Charizard with someone on top. "Hey! Are you lost?"
That's weird, flying taxis usually use Corviknights...
The Charizard and the man landed in front of you and your vision cleared....It was Champion Leon! The one you were dreaming of going up against if you weren't caught in this bloody rain...
Your eyes widened as you saw him jump off Charizard and walk up to you, towering over you.
"Sorry to startle you, I got lost trying to make my way to Wyndon. Then this storm kicked up, losing my way even more," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
You gotta admit, he looked delicious like this. All drenched, his clothes clinging to his body showing the outline of his muscles and- I'mma stop there.
"Uh yeah, same. I was also headed to Wyndon until I got caught in the rain," you said to him.
"So you're in the same boat I'm in! Haha, what a coincidence!" he laughed. "How about we set up camp together? I may not look like it but I can cook a pretty mean curry."
You smiled at him and approved as you both sat your stuff down and set up a campsite. You shared your ingredients but he opted to use whipped cream, sweet pecha berries, and...sausages?
"Um, are you sure that's going to be good?"
"Trust me," he replied, concentrating on making his curry. You shrugged and let your pokemon out so they could recharge.
Time passes as you're cracking jokes with Leon and talking and getting to know each other. He finally finishes his rancid curry and gives you a plate to have a try.
You looked at the plate that stood in your hands suspiciously. It was bubbling and gurgling.
"eat up! I promise it's as good as it looks," he says with a mouthful.
You looked at him and back at your plate and decide to lick the tip of the spoon. To much surprise it was pretty good. Your pokemon seemed to enjoy it judging from the food around their mouths.
As your two finish up dinner, you notice the rain stopped but it was dark outside. Leon was gathering up the dirty dishes while you were getting your phone to work again after having a little water damage and a bite mark from your Pokemon.
"Hey, how about we get some sleep and tomorrow morning we can travel to Wyndon together?" Leon suggests.
"Sounds like a plan, hopefully we don't get lost," you joked.
"If we did, let's get lost together"

Bad Weather
Tumblr media
Anything can happen when it rains. What you want and what you don't.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Sanji x Reader
Content: Neutral reader; Modern Setting; Established Relationship; Angst with a happy ending; Love Confessions
This was a Secret Santa gift I published sometime ago and decided to post it here as well.
Don’t like, don’t read.
English is not my first language yada yada.
Tumblr media
Looks like it’s starting to rain.
You look up at the sky, the dark clouds moving slowly in the sky as the heavy drops start falling. One lands on your hand, the cold sensation feeling somewhat unpleasant. It slides from your skin to the ground, doing nothing to the already wet floor. Your luck is that you’re sitting under the little roof of the train station, protected from the bad weather.
A dejected sigh leaves your throat. It seems your only company for this trip will be the cold rain hitting the window soon. You look mindlessly to your hands, the battery of your wireless headphones have died long ago as your didn’t remember to charge them the night before. How could you? After what happened… the ring in your finger mocks you in a gloomy fashion. You want to throw it at the trails. However, you don’t have the courage.
Is he really not coming?…
You sallow dry, squeezing your thigh so the tears don’t fall. Why do you even care? He’s not yours any more.
…if he isn't, why are you still wearing the ring?
“I was offered a job opportunity in another city, I just have to finish my degree. It has lots of benefits and it would be great for me to start gaining experience in my area.”
“Really? That’s great, mellorine!” Sanji pours the wine in your glass as the food in your plate awaits to serve its propose. He puts the bottle back down on the table and kisses your forehead, holding your face gently.
“I would have to move… and we wouldn’t meet that often…”
His fond look softens at the sight of your worried expression, so hesitant with this new opportunity. A smile quickly places itself on his lips, his hands finding yours and caressing them softly.
“I could always come with you.”
“Really? Would you do that for me?” Your eyes shine brighter than the candles around you. Sanji’s heart skips a bit at the sudden joy in your words. What greater being could have send such exceptional person his way? He didn’t deserve it…
“I would do anything for you.”
You feel the fresh tears falling down your cheeks and beat yourself up internally for letting go in public. In a fit of painful frustration, you take the ring of your finger and throw it far way in the rain. With a couple of ringing sounds as it jumps in the pavement, it stops on its tracks right in the middle of the way as some more people walk around to their destination. Someone would find and pick it of the floor. Sell it and use the money to pay for a present for a loved one. Your sour mind doesn’t care, it would only brings you pain.
It lost its shine due to the dark clouds up above.
You bury your face in your hands, allowing yourself to cry softly without anyone noticing. Better here than in the train.
“Sanji, you’re starting to scare me, what gift is so important that I need to be blindfolded?” You giggle as curiosity and excitement runs through your veins. The warmth of his hands engulf yours and the smell of strawberry flavour cigarettes coming from both of you envelops your senses.
“The blindfold is for making me smoke that horrendous thing.” He smiles. Although you can’t see it, his voice tells you everything you need to know. Suddenly, you feel something cold surrounding one of your fingers, contrasting his touch. Confusion replaces your curiosity and quickly develops into joyful anxiety.
“Sanji Vinsmoke, I can’t believe you’ve done that.”
The blindfold is taken off and your gaze immediately goes to you hands. Your suspicions are confirmed to be truth: A wedding band with both your initials shines bright as the sun in your finger. He also has one, just like yours. You gasp and look at him, happy tears start streaming down your face as you look at him. Your eyes meet a bright smile, bigger than ever.
“You are destined to do great things. And I want to be there with you, forever. Also, don’t call me Vinsmoke agai-”
Before he can finish the sentence, you almost launch yourself at him to give a tight hug. He takes two steps back with the impact, but gives you a strong hug back, kissing your cheeks with newfound sweetness. You hide your face in his chest, embarrassed that he did this right in a public space. All of the sudden, you hear a soft noise of realisation coming from him.
“I didn’t kneel.”
“You don’t need to.”
The sudden noise from the train station signing for departure in two minutes takes you back to reality rather abruptly. You clean the tears from your face messily and put yourself together, grabbing your luggage and stepping into the rain. Always with your umbrella at hand. You grip it tight, your knuckles almost turn white.
He really didn’t came.
“What?”
His expression was somber. The cigarette in his mouth has already gone out due to the cold wind.
“I can’t come with you.”
You’re in complete shock, a dry freezing setting in your stomach as your ears ring.
“But… you said you would come with me. That you would go everywhere I go.”
He looks at you solemnly. But his eyes can’t even look directly at yours. They go to your hands, to your lips, even to the ticket in his hand sometimes. And that leaves you miserable. Where’s the Sanji who would go to hell and back for you and you would go for him?
“I can’t just leave Baratie like that. My life is here. My dream of becoming a great cook is here-”
“You told me your dream is to find the All Blue! You said you would give everything to travel the world to find it!” You raise your voice a bit, not understanding completely his excuse as you heart feels itself shattering piece by piece. His gaze goes down to the floor, not sure of how to answer. He feels ashamed, but… “Besides, we talked with Zeff before hand! He gave us his blessing! He told you to leave that forsaken restaurant and live your life! His words, not mine!”
“It’s not that easy…”
“How? What could be possibly stopping you?! Let me know, please!”
The good weather days seem to have come to a end for now, as the dark clouds make their way to hide the sun. Although, you’re glad that he decided tell you this right at your door, you just have to run back inside if you need. After all, you forgot your umbrella.
“You and I have grown up and changed and… I… I think we can’t be together any more. We’ll only be dead weight in each other’s lives…” You want to slap him, to yell at him to stop saying idiotic shit, but you can’t bring yourself to. It wouldn’t be right. If that what he wants, then you let him go, for more painful that it is for you. Although, through the unstoppable shaking and trying your best to stay composed, you can’t help but bark a bit.
“So…we just break up?!
And it hurt him. It hurt him as much as it hurts you. He hopes you don’t notice. After all it’s for the best. You wouldn’t be dead weight for him. But he would be for you.
“I’m afraid so…”
He doesn’t deserve you.
You let the few people before you enter the train first. Without knowing the reason why, you body refuses to move from its spot. It’s almost like… you’re waiting for something that’s not coming. But but deep down, at the end of the tunnel, you still have hope it will happen. 1, 2, 3 seconds pass, the noise blares again - 1 minute for departure -, and you sigh. Well, there’s no going back now. New life, here you go. You put one foot on the train when you hear someone screaming your name.
It can’t be…
You look at the source of the voice, not having enough time to react before you are almost thrown to the ground by someone, letting you umbrella fall with the impact. You even have to take two steps back so you don’t fall. He hugs you tight, ugly crying on your shoulder.
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I’m such a idiot!”
“Sanji…?”
It’s him, all soaked due to the rain, looking like a lost puppy. There’s tears streaming down his face and you can’t help but notice the dark circles under his eyes, making them look almost lifeless. He grabs your hands for dear life, not wanting to let go that soon.
“I’m a complete buffoon! I can’t believe I was letting you go like that because I didn’t think I deserve you! I’m stupid, a complete dumbass! I love you more than anything! Let’s go find the All Blue together. Let’s go everywhere toget-”
All of those desperate words are interrupted by your lips on his, feeling fresh warm tears rolling down your face while you get soaked by the heavy storm. Your umbrella forgotten on the floor. He quickly kisses you back, once again enamoured by your whole being. And most importantly, relieved. You break the kiss and look at him in the eyes, a smile placing itself on your lips automatically.
“Your hopeless romantic is showing, Sanji.” A laugh escapes your throat, making him laugh with you. He places his forehead against yours, enjoying the closeness.
“Is that a “I forgive you”?”
You nod happily, not noticing him reaching for his pocket, so it comes as a surprise.
He goes down on one knee with the ring in hand as the alarm blares for the final time.

Disturbance (Chapter 1 - Torment)
Fic below the cut; alternate links: Ao3 || FF
Hello everybody! Today I'd like to present to you a story that I've been chipping away at for a few years before actually writing it all down. This will be my first published multi-chapter fic—I usually tend to favor oneshots, but this one is too big for just one chapter. It's been a long time coming, since I wanted to handle what's being covered here with as much dignity as possible and didn't want to accidentally trivialize anything. For reference, this takes place when Felix and Tamora's relationship is starting to get serious.
A warning, as this is a little heavier than my normal stories: if you're sensitive to scenarios where alcohol is involved in near-sexual situations, then please use your judgment on reading this one. The scene in question is in the first chapter and will be referenced in later chapters.
Felix startled awake to what sounded like a small explosion, followed by the shattering of glass and a series of hissed profanities. In a daze, he felt around for his special lady, who was absent from her usual spot beside him in their bed.
"Tammy?!"
He grabbed his hammer off his toolbelt hanging next to the nightstand and jumped out of bed, running towards the source of the sound that had awakened him.
"Tamora?! Are you okay?"
Reaching the bathroom, he flicked on the light switch. Tamora stood behind the remains of the bathroom mirror, her right hand still balled into a fist. Blood coated most of her hand and dripped into a small puddle on the tiled floor. She blinked and stared blankly at the floor as she adjusted to the light, a glaze having just recently cleared from her eyes, watching the inky red fluid channeling into the tile grout. 
Looking over to the wall, Felix noticed an impressive fist-shaped crater where the mirror had hung.
"Here, darlin', let me help with that..." He guided her to the sink and scooped handfuls of warm water from the stream to rinse out the cuts. Tamora only moved to lean on the counter with her other arm, stone-faced and unresponsive to any apparent pain, with her injured hand completely limp.
Once the bath had cleared away the blood and stray debris, it revealed ribbons of torn skin peeling off her knuckles, flayed by the glass shards. Felix's stomach wrenched at the sight and he tapped her hand with his hammer, immediately healing her. He patted her hand dry with a towel and took it in his for a kiss where the injuries had been moments before.
"All better!" he piped, with a hesitant smile. 
The pleasant tingle of the hammer snapped her out of her statue-like state, and at the contact of his kiss she reflexively held his hand more tightly. 
She raised her other hand to her face and rubbed her eyes, getting a clear look at what once was the mirror. 
"Aw, Felix, I'm sorry." Her voice came out in a low rasp, a tinge of shame in her tone. "Guess I wasn't runnin' on full batteries. I saw movement and didn't wanna take any chances..." 
He shook his head. 
"I'll have that mirror good as new tomorrow mornin', don't you worry about it. Just watch out you don't step on the pieces." 
Her muscles had already tensed when she woke up. The one reassurance she offered herself was that at least she hadn't accidentally clocked her poor little guy in the face or tossed him off the bed in the waning hallucinations of the nightmare. 
Too overwhelmed to scream, she could only watch the neon-green entrails flooding the cab of the long-suffering old pickup truck and gumming the moving parts to a stop. What started as a drive into town on an errand from Mama had corrupted when the cloudy sky turned to charcoal, split down the middle with a thundering tear, and poured the disgusting green metallic slurry into every orifice of the vehicle. The doors worked but she couldn't leave, not with him still in the passenger seat, and the liquid contents of the cab stayed suspended inside despite the opening available. 
Brad couldn't move, and couldn't breathe through the thick sludge as she somehow could. It dripped out of his nose and mouth whenever he tried to talk to her, and he fearfully refused her attempts to push him out of the truck. The struggle lasted for hours until her hands phased through him and she couldn't physically touch him anymore. 'Aren't you freezing?' he'd nonsensically sputtered out, before the cy-bugs climbed in through the open doors and each began gnawing on a different part of him...
She bit her hand to keep from vomiting at the memory of it. If Mama's land on the outskirts of town wasn't safe then neither was a game right across the station from those monsters—at least that's what her instincts would not stop screaming at her. She wilted slightly at her self-assigned post, head lightly knocking against the glass pane in front of her. 
Felix awoke to see her silhouette by the window, leaning on the sill. 
"Is something wrong?" he whispered. 
She glanced back at him. 
"Are you okay?" 
"I'm fine, Lady Love. What's going on?"
"Thought I heard something," she shrugged. 
He joined her at the window and looked out into the familiar surroundings of his game. The perpetual midnight sky lay peacefully above as it always had. Everything was still; Niceland wasn't the sort of place where anyone was out and about at this hour. Beyond the screen, he could faintly make out the flickering lampposts by the buildings across the street from the arcade, and the flash of the streetlights illuminating the occasional passing vehicle. 
He placed a hand on hers and almost recoiled at how cold it was. 
"We're okay, Tammy. Everyone's okay."
She sighed. 
"I know." 
He paused for a few minutes, quietly sifting through his collection of uncertainties to try and figure out how to respond. 
"Why don't you come back to bed? It's awful chilly tonight," was the best he could muster. The only pajama clothing she wore was an oversized T-shirt, and he had no idea how long she'd been standing there. She didn't even seem to be aware of the temperature. 
The sergeant turned over her hand to grasp his, but said nothing.
"Tamora, everyone's safe and we're not goin' anywhere. I'll be right here when you wake up. That's a promise."
In the low light he saw the shadow of a smile. 
"I'll hold you to it."
They returned to bed and Felix made sure to pull the covers up over her shoulders. She tucked him into her arms and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. The thumping of his heartbeat—quicker than hers as expected, but steady and reassuring—lulled her to sleep. 
He had thought it was just one bad night for her. But in the morning light when he went to open the curtains, he noticed overlapping sets of her handprints on the part of the windowsill where she had been keeping watch.
Several nights later he woke up to a harsh, low scratching making its way down the hallway outside the apartment. He froze in terror—Tamora had stayed late for work and gone out afterwards, telling him not to wait up for her. He broke into an instant cold sweat at the thought of a cy-bug evading her watch and coming into the game. 
As quietly as he could, he rolled out of bed and rummaged around in his toolbox next to the closet. Finding a heavy wrench, he clasped it tightly and snuck towards the entryway. He hesitated only a moment to pick up his hammer as well. 
The distant rumble rose to a horrible, continuous scraping as it came closer and closer to his door. Felix's heart pounded and shook his limbs, making his grip on the tools tremble. 
The sound reached his door and stopped. Felix's ears rang in the sudden silence and his mouth went dry. He almost fell backwards at the sudden forceful knock afterwards. 
"Felix? Babe?" 
"Tammy?" 
A long pause. 
"Yeah?" 
He collapsed on the floor, panting in relief. 
"You...you really scared me, honeybadger! Give me just a second and I'll let you in." 
After composing himself, he opened the door and nearly hit the floor again when Tamora fell into the room, landing on her hands and knees. 
"Tammy!! Oh my land, are you alright?!" 
He took her hand to help her up, and she snickered. 
"Wanna...come get comfy down here." 
The sour smell of alcohol broke over him in a wave. For the second time that night, he put a hand to his chest and caught his breath. He chanced a peek out the door and saw a long gash running down the hallway at about her shoulder height. It was impressive that she even had enough physical and mental acuity left to make it all the way to the apartment. 
"Tamora, you're going to bed." 
She cocked her eyebrows and grinned. 
"Can you walk?" 
"Kinda stupid question...issat. Watch." 
She slowly rose to her feet and stumbled again, but ran with the forward momentum and charged right through the bedroom doorway. 
Felix rushed into the bedroom and turned on a light to find her hunched against the wall, fist in the air, as though she was celebrating a victory. He placed his tools down on the nightstand, and with some effort he guided her to the bed. 
"Tammy, listen to me. I'm gonna bring you some water in case you need it later. If you have to go to the bathroom, yell for me. I don't want you falling down in there and hittin' your head on anything. I'll be on the couch." 
She stared at him for a few minutes and nodded. 
"You're...the best. Take such good care a' me..." she grabbed his face in one hand and lightly shook his head back and forth by the chin, squeezing his cheeks. "Cute little fella. Very pretty." 
Felix chuckled and a blush crept onto his cheeks. He picked up her hand off his face, running a thumb over her knuckles. She watched him leave for the kitchen and return with a large mug of water, then gratefully downed it in seconds when he handed it to her.
"There you go,” he sighed, placing the empty mug back on the nightstand. “Now, I don't know how you can ever be comfortable in all this armor, but let me at least make sure you don't have to sleep in it." 
He removed her boots and got to work unlatching the plates covering her torso. 
"I have to...you need to know. You're…" Tamora put her hands on his shoulders and stared at him, desperately trying to overcome her temporary lack of verbal communication ability.
"I’m not sure I understand. Can you show me what’s going on?" 
She hugged him and kissed the base of his neck, patting his back. 
"Need to do...something here. It—the words," she sputtered in frustration.
"You're all right. Do you wanna think about...the words while we get ready?" 
Tamora nodded and released him. 
After a few minutes of decoupling and shifting around the various pieces of her armor, Felix noticed that she had become unusually quiet. Taking his eyes off his work, he looked up to see her staring at him again, pupils dilated. He tried to ignore it and pulled the now-disconnected chestplate off of her, but the action set something off. 
"It was this...!" she trailed off as she whipped around, startling him, and pinned him down to the mattress with a sloppy kiss. 
The taste alone told him she’d had some of Tapper's strongest, a concoction that had knocked him off his stool from just a sniff when he'd curiously sampled it. Her attempt to unbutton his pajama shirt was quickly abandoned for lack of coordination, in favor of rolling it up. 
"You wanna do...like that, Fix-It? Sssomeone's bold today..." 
Alarmed, Felix pushed against one shoulder and pulled at the other, trying to roll or twist her off of himself. He could hardly get the leverage to even shift himself around, let alone move her. 
"Top, huh. Hafta work for that..."
He shook his head and managed to pull his legs out from under her on either side. Feet flat on the bed, he heaved himself a few inches up and away, causing her to slide off of him and onto the quilt. The motion put enough distance between them for him to brace his hands against her shoulders and nudge her backwards. 
"We're not doing that right now! Tam, for goodness' sake you’re in no condition for any of this!" 
Something about the panic in his voice and expression stopped her. He very rarely shouted, and realizing that she was the cause of his fear chilled over her amorous state. The room pitched from side to side as she propped herself up on her hands and shifted further away from him.
He worried that his heavy breathing and the inadvertent redness of his cheeks from the kiss would drown out his words. But for an instant, Felix saw realization and shock pass over her face before she grunted out a soft embarrassed noise and rolled over. She shuffled to the far side of the bed, facing away from him. 
Catching his breath, the situation caught up with him and made his insides churn. He refused to have that sort of experience with her in her current state, and if she’d regretted it he wouldn't have been able to forgive himself. 
He kissed the top of her ear. 
"I'm sorry for yelling. But you're not doing very well right now. We'll talk about it in the morning. For now I just need to get you settled." 
"Hey...hurts?"
"What hurts?" 
She shook her head and pointed over her shoulder at him. 
"Me? No, you didn't hurt me. I'm okay. You just...gave me a bit of a fright." 
She turned around and fumbled for his hand, kissing his fingers. 
"Sorry...brain’s bad. Thought you wanted...I’m sorry."
Of course. She was still Tammy. But he couldn't name what he was feeling. She'd never have gotten to this point in a normal state and she even had the awareness not to hurt him now, inebriated more than he’d ever seen her before. 
He ached to communicate, every fiber of him wanting to come up with some right combination of words that would fix this, but he had to remind himself that she wouldn't be able to process it anyway. Felix gave Tamora's hand a squeeze before tucking it into her chest, and smiled feebly. 
"I'm going to finish getting you ready to go to sleep, is that okay?" 
“Yeah,” She nodded. “S’okay...I won’t move.”
Over the next several minutes he removed the rest of her armor and laid it in a neat pile by the foot of the bed. By the time he left and came back with the refilled mug of water and empty bowl, she was already asleep. He left the items on the nightstand and pulled up her covers, tucking all of the available pillows under her head and shoulders to elevate them and keep her from rolling over. 
Seeing her in the condition she was in that night twisted and stabbed at him. If she'd just been injured or gotten into a fight then it'd be obvious how to help. And if it wasn't, he could ask. But this...a constant background noise of low-grade anxiety grew louder at the sight of her obscured vulnerability made physical. 
"I don't know what happened out there but have a nice rest, sugarplum," Felix whispered, wiping his eyes before they could produce any tears. He kissed the tip of her nose and left for the couch with an armful of extra sheets.

I did an alternate prompt for today, so BuckTommy Fluffebruary Day Twenty-One (!!!!) is Candlelight Dinner. Buck does experience a little storm-related anxiety at the beginning, but he's okay. Also there is one line in here that is the entire reason why I named Tommy "Tommaso" in these fics instead. I'm not kidding, it's so dumb. This is posted over here on AO3. Tagging @bucktommyfluffebruary
There’s a storm outside, and Buck is doing his best to ignore it while he cooks dinner. He keeps checking his phone, but he knows Tommy won’t be home for a bit. It still makes him nervous, because LA drivers are terrible at the best of times. With rain pouring from the sky and high winds, it’s a thousand times worse, and he's had to deal with the aftermath of one too many accidents in these same conditions.
He’s taking the eggplant parmesan out of the oven and setting it on the stove when a flash of lightning outside catches him off-guard. He has to grip the handle of the stove door while he breathes through his nose and out through his mouth. It’s not—he doesn’t usually have a problem anymore, but it’s been a long week and his defenses are a little lower than normal.
The rumbling of the garage door hits his ears, and he realizes he’s been standing still in their kitchen for a few minutes. Tommy opens the door from the utility/laundry/mud room that connects the garage to the kitchen, and Buck looks over his shoulder to smile at him, feeling his shoulders relax and the ball of tension in his belly loosen.
“Hey,” Tommy says, greeting him with a kiss to his cheek and an arm around his waist. “That smells amazing.”
“It just needs a few minutes,” Buck says, turning to put his arms around Tommy’s shoulders so he can kiss him properly. “How’s Sal?”
Tommy rolls his eyes. “Sal’s a headcase, because he and Gina had a pregnancy scare last week. I don’t even think you can call it that when you’re over forty and already have three kids, but I get to take him to get snipped next week.”
Buck snorts. “Isn't that an outpatient procedure?”
“I think I'm more moral support.”
“Get him a cone,” Buck suggests.
Tommy laughs and leaves a lingering kiss on his cheek. “That’s what I was thinking. Gina thinks it'll be hilarious, he’ll probably take a swing at me. How was your day?”
He sighs and shrugs. “It was a day. We actually had four separate birth calls, so maybe something’s in the air.”
He smiles when Tommy hums and leans in to kiss the corner of his mouth. When a flash of light fills the kitchen window again, he jumps just a little, and Tommy squeezes him close.
“There’s a very new roof over our heads,” Tommy reminds him, rubbing his back and looking at him with nothing but warmth. Buck loves him for that. He loves him for a lot of things, of course, but he loves that Tommy’s first instinct is to make sure Buck feels safe. “And neither of us has any reason to go outside tonight.”
Buck nods and lets himself get pulled into a hug, burying his face in Tommy’s shoulder. He smells like their laundry soap and his deodorant and that patchouli hand soap that Gina buys and home. “I’ll be okay, I promise.”
Tommy kisses his hair and then his ear, and Buck huffs out a laugh. An answering chuckle rumbles in his ear, and he pulls back to kiss his boyfriend. He’s about to ask if he’s hungry when the lights go out and the house goes silent.
“Well,” Tommy says, his face barely visible in the dark kitchen. “There goes that.”
They poke their faces out the front door and see that the neighbors are all dark, too, except for the guy at the corner who has a solar battery setup. The street lamps are also out. Tommy grabs a flashlight from the drawer in the sideboard by the front door and uses it to guide them back to the kitchen, flipping down any lightswitches on their way while Buck unplugs things.
“Be right back,” Tommy says, disappearing into another part of the house. He knows it by feel, and Buck is still getting used to it. He’s only been moved in for a month.
He serves up their dinner onto two plates and covers the rest, opting to grab them glasses of wine instead of beer, since the wine wouldn’t require him to open the fridge. He turns to carry the plates to the dining room and sees a flickering glow lighting the way. When he walks into the room, he sees that Tommy is lighting a second taper candle on the table.
“I’ll get the silverware,” Tommy offers when Buck sets the plates down. Buck follows him into the kitchen anyway to grab the wine, and they settle down at the table to eat.
He watches the way the small flames light Tommy’s face, the way the shadows will occasionally shift, and he gets too distracted to eat for a moment. When Tommy takes a bite and lets out an appreciative groan, Buck remembers he’s supposed to be eating his dinner and smiles to himself for being so sappy.
“God, this is so good,” Tommy says, reaching over to squeeze his wrist. “Thank you for making dinner.”
Buck shifts happily in his seat and shrugs. Tommy’s hand moves to cover his, and Buck’s eyes go from his plate to Tommy’s face. And if Tommy had been beautiful in the candlelight, he was breathtaking when he was looking at Buck with a soft, sweet smile—even with a tiny bit of sauce on his lip.
“You’re beautiful,” Tommy says, and Buck flushes. “I think I should break out the candles more often. You’re ethereal.”
“I don’t think anyone’s ever called me that,” Buck says, lifting Tommy’s hand so he can press a kiss to his knuckles and smiling when Tommy’s own smile widens. “But I agree, the candles should be a new thing. You look pretty perfect yourself.”
They eat their dinner like that, with their hands held on the table between them. It means that Tommy has to eat left-handed, but he’s comfortable doing that. Buck knows that he’s sprained his right wrist twice, that his mom was left-handed, and that he once cut his right ring finger so badly it needed stitches and was in a splint while it healed.
He’s collected little facts about Tommy whenever he could, and he’d asked him if he was ambidextrous when he noticed Tommy would switch his paintbrush between his left and right hands easily. The answer was “kind of,” and Buck found out how he’d gotten comfortable using his left hand for a lot of things. He soaks in every new bit of information, tucking it away with everything else he’s ever hyperfixated on in his life. He knows that the largest land animal to have ever lived is the Argentinosaurus, and he knows that Tommy Kinard never bites directly into apples because his Nonno never did, so he cuts off slices and eats them piece by piece. And his Nonno did that because he grew up on a farm in southeastern Piedmont and had to avoid wormy apples all the time.
He knows that Tommy can’t stand the taste of radishes on their own, but he’ll eat them in salads. He has a “pseudoallergy” to morphine and gets itchy and miserable but doesn’t have a true reaction, but it’s listed as an allergy on his charts for simplicity’s sake. He thinks green caterpillars are really cute, but moths freak him out because he hates when their wings flap in his ear. He couldn’t say his own first name as a toddler, so he introduced himself as “Tomato” until his mom started calling him “Tommy.”
“What?” Tommy asks, and Buck realizes he’s been frozen with a fork halfway to his mouth for probably a while.
“Sorry,” Buck says, setting his fork down. He half-stands and reaches across to draw Tommy into a kiss. “Just—I love you.”
“I love you, too,” Tommy replies, smiling. “You okay?”
“Yeah,” Buck sighs happily, sitting back in his chair and picking up his fork again. “I was going to ask earlier if you wanted to do something this weekend while we’re off.”
Tommy gestures toward the window with his fork, where rain is battering against the glass. “If the weather keeps up, we might be stuck inside while we watch Bake Off.”
“Oh no-o,” Buck says sarcastically, grinning. “Anything but that.”
“I know,” Tommy says, making a face. “I might even need to break out the heated blankets. It’ll be terrible.”
“We’ll have to make soup—”
“And hot chocolate—”
“—and tea—”
“—and bread to dip in the soup.”
They share a grin, and Buck squeezes Tommy’s hand, receiving an immediate answering squeeze.
When they finish their dinner, they rinse their plates off and leave them in the sink to go in the dishwasher in the morning. They debate about how to store the leftovers before just very quickly throwing them in the fridge and shutting the door before too much cold air can get out. Tommy checks the PG&E status site for their address while Buck pokes through the pantry for some cookies he’d stashed away.
“Should be back on by the time we wake up,” Tommy says, taking an offered cookie. “According to the infallible company that’s never been wrong about anything or set our state on fire.”
“Better hope it is or your truck is trapped in the garage,” Buck points out, and Tommy groans.
They bring the flashlight and one of the candles to their room, because there’s a loop in the candleholder and it makes Buck feel like he’s walking around an old haunted Victorian manor. He keeps it with him while he washes his face and brushes his teeth, except the effect is actually a little creepy in a mirror and he makes sinister faces and makes himself chuckle. He waits until Tommy’s in bed to blow out the candle and curls up with him, his face pressed into the warm skin on the back of Tommy’s shoulder.
“G’night, baby,” he mumbles.
“Good night, sweetheart,” Tommy mumbles back, burrowing back against him with a sigh. “Can you scratch my back?”
Buck smiles and does as he's asked, his strokes wide and lazy until Tommy's breathing deepens with sleep. He keeps it up until his hand stills and he drifts off to the sound of Tommy’s breathing and the rain pattering on their new roof.

QOTU: Something Good
Tumblr media
My first official installment in the 'Quarters of the Undead' AU created with @dixons-sunshine is here! We get to watch Vec and Scud's first meeting play out. Be prepared to become obsessed with them because I certainly am. Lydia Vector (Vec) belongs to me, Georgie Hawkins (Ginny, as Vec calls her) belongs to Krys. Banner and divider were also both made by her.
You can get to know Vec a little bit better here and Georgie here
This is my first time writing for Scud as well as my first time writing in third person in a long time, so please go easy on me.
CW for swearing, mention of medical procedures (she is a doctor, after all), a teeny tiny bit of sexual content if you squint really hard
Word count: 3.8k
@gothic-pumpkin you asked to be tagged in this <3
I'm not joking when I say I screamed into my pillow the other night because I love them so much these two make me absolutely feral I need to be put down or sedated or something
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Vec sighed, running a hand through her hair as she rested her elbows on the counter.
First, there was spilling hot coffee all over her fresh scrubs. Then, there was cutting her finger on a can of Monster, followed by dropping her keys in the toilet and burning her toast to a blackened crisp.
And that was all before even setting foot out the door.
While pulling up to a stoplight on her way to the hospital, her 2007 Toyota Corolla came to a halt, the dreaded sound of repeated clicks filling the car as she tried to start it again. A kind stranger stopped to give her a jump start, allowing her to make it to the auto shop just down the street, but not before she took a moment to white-knuckle the steering wheel and scream at the top of her lungs.
When it rains, it pours.
“Just what I thought. Dead battery,” a man behind the counter called out as he approached from the back. His name badge branded ‘manager’ swayed around his neck as he walked, creating a soft tapping sound as it clacked against the buttons of his shirt. “We can do it today, but it’s gonna be a while. We’re a bit backed up.” He reached under the counter into a drawer and pulled out an intake form. “You gonna wait around?”
“No, I’m heading to work,” Vec corrected, flipping her phone open to send a quick text to her best friend.
Vec: Car broke down on the road. Having the worst day :( Ginny: Oh no :( Ginny: Hoping something good comes out of this shitty day <3
That was Georgie, always whipping out her relentless optimism whenever the moment called for it.
“Your name?” the man asked.
“Lydia Vector. V-e-c-t-o-r.” She slipped her phone back into her pocket, grabbing a scrunchie and pulling her long black hair into a ponytail. “I prefer to go by Vec, though.”
“I’ll put both,” he said.
As she flattened and tied up her hair, a movement out of the corner of her peripheral caught her attention, and her eyes trailed over to one of the mechanics. He was tinkering with something, a welding gun in his hand and a bandana tied around his head to keep his soft brown hair from falling in his eyes.
And she was practically drooling after just one look at him.
“Hey,” she asked, nodding her head in the mechanic’s direction, “the cutie with the bandana. What’s his name?”
The man’s gaze followed her nod to his employee in the corner of the room. “That’s Josh,” he explained, the sound emanating from the depth of his chest a hybrid between a scoff and a chuckle, “he’s uh…he’s a bit of a wildcard.”
A small smile crept across Vec’s lips. She, too, had been granted the title of “wildcard,” both by her best friend & her family. She was already looking forward to meeting her match.
“We close at eight,” the manager interjected, clearing his throat before he continued, “if you can get here before then, you’ll have it back today.”
“Oh, that’s perfect. I’m supposed to be off at six. Might be a bit late, but I should be here before you close,” Vec assured, slipping her keys back into the pocket of her scrubs, “that’s the life of an ER doctor for you.” She gave the manager a grateful smile as she scooped a fresh can of Monster from her bag. “Thank you again. Today has been a nightmare.”
“Not a problem, ma’am,” he reassured, returning the grin, “we’ll call you when it’s done. I hope your day gets better.”
“Thank you. Me too.”
Before heading out the door, Vec looked back over her shoulder to steal one last glance at the handsome mechanic. Torn between wanting to give him her number on the spot and not wanting to be disrespectful and corner him at his workplace, she opted for the latter, hoping he would be there when she returned. Plus, she was already running behind. “Cutie with the bandana” Josh would have to wait.
Little did she know, she hadn’t been the only one stealing glances.
He’d taken notice of her the second she walked in the door. A little frazzled, hair disheveled from forgetting to brush it during the chaos of her morning, eyes tinged red from the stress cry she had in her car before coming inside. But he saw right past all of that.
It was almost angelic the way she ran her fingers through her hair, gathering it into a high ponytail. Her hair was so long that even then, it still reached far down her back. Though her eyes were tinted red, the ocean blue of her irises were the most stunning color he’d ever seen. The smile she gave the manager as she left, the way her scrubs hugged her body…the light thumping in his chest was beginning to pick up speed.
“Josh!” another mechanic called out, smacking him in the chest with the back of his hand. Though it stung, even that was barely able to pull him out of the clouds and back down to reality. “C’mon man, help me with this!”
“S-sorry,” Josh stuttered, subtly shaking his head and blinking rapidly a few times to further pull himself from his trance.
Over the course of her shift, Vec had forgotten all about her car and the shitty start she’d had to her day. She didn’t forget, though, about the cutie with the bandana. He’d been nestled in the back of her mind all day, creeping his way to the front at every few-and-far-between free moment she had. All Vec could do is hope he’d be there when she returned.
A nasty bout of gangrene and a couple of motorcycle accidents later, she was back in the staff locker room, eager to be home and in bed after being on her feet all day. Stepping out the bathroom stall, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, and it was only in that moment that it occurred to her what time it was and that it was, in fact, past closing time at the auto shop. She answered the phone with a sigh, repeatedly mentally kicking herself for letting time slip away from her like that.
“I’m so sorry, my shift ran over,” she apologized as she opened her locker, scrambling to grab her jacket and her bag.
“My wife’s an ER nurse, I get it. Don’t worry about it,” the manager said, “one of my guys offered to stay late so you could pick it up.”
Vec set her bag on the bench behind her, holding her phone between her shoulder and her cheek as she slipped her arms into her jacket sleeves. “I can’t ask any of you to do that.”
“You didn’t ask. He offered,” the man corrected. The jingling of keys filled her ear, followed by the ‘click’ of a door lock. “If you’re gonna be later than nine, try to call if you can and let him know.”
“Oh my God, thank you.” Her shoulders relaxed as she breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ll be there as quick as I can.”
The clock on her phone read 8:45pm. The auto shop was only about a mile up the road, she thought, she could easily make it. As she reached the front doors of the hospital, she sent another series of texts to Georgie.
Vec: Picking up my car Vec: If I don’t text you by 9:30, call me until I answer Ginny: Be safe <3
It had only just gotten dark, the streetlights coming on as she stepped out the automatic hospital doors. The road was still busy, as the streets of Atlanta often were, flooded with cars late into the night. Despite all the lights and amount of people outside, she still kept her wits about her as she walked.
She stood at only 5 foot 7, yet despite her average size, she had surprising combat skills, her Navy SEAL brothers having taught her everything they knew. She’d handled men bigger than her before, once breaking one’s nose, and other bones, after she caught him trying to spike her drink at a bar. Still, she found comfort in toying with her small blue canister of pepper spray and clenching her keys between her fingers.
The walk to the auto shop was brief, only around 15 minutes or so, nothing noteworthy aside from a group of college students stumbling their way toward downtown. A car drove past with their windows down, blasting a song that was one of Vec’s favorites from her high school years, and she caught herself softly singing along to the tune long after the car passed by, all the way to the front door of the tiny auto shop.
Removing her cap and scrunchie, she shook her hair out, fluffing it with her fingers and adjusting her glasses on her nose. Cupping a hand around her eyes and peering through the glass of the front door, she saw him propped on a stool behind the counter, flipping through some sort of book she couldn’t quite make out, that soft brown hair tied up out of his eyes.
The cutie with the bandana.
Josh had kept himself occupied by flipping through old comic books his boss kept in his office and crafting little sketches on a notepad as he eagerly awaited for her to return. The sketches were small but chaotic, the random words scribbled alongside them acting as triggers for him to remember important details later.
This cutie with the bandana was an auto mechanic by day and inventor by night.
She knocked softly on the glass, tapping it gently with her knuckle as to not spook him. Peeling his peepers away from his half-completed drawing, he nearly lit up when he saw it was her standing there on the sidewalk, giving him a small wave and a smile. He quickly shoved the notepad into his pocket and hopped off the stool, doing his best to keep his cool as he walked as to not appear too eager.
During those few seconds as he approached and opened the door, he was finally close enough for her to get a good look at his facial features. He had the cutest button nose, high cheekbones, and piercing eyes that were the most breathtaking shade of blue she’d ever seen. Vec had to clench her jaw and repeatedly swallow to keep herself from drooling.
Blue was her favorite color, it always had been. Now, she had yet another reason for it to be.
“Cutie with the bandana at your service,” he greeted with a smirk as he held the door open for her.
Blood rushed to her cheeks as she stepped inside, the chill of the evening Georgia air being cut off as he closed the door and the dread setting in at the realization that someone had told him about her earlier comments. “Oh God,” she groaned, rubbing between her eyebrows as embarrassment flooded her system at an overwhelming rate, “Jesus, I’m…God, I’m so sorry.” She sheepishly trailed behind him to the counter, keeping her gaze on her feet, practically stumbling over her words. “I, uh…I have a tendency to be very…forward. Christ, this is humiliating, I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be. You know what you want, and you go for it. I like that.” Biting the inside of her bottom lip, an anxious habit of hers, she peeled her cerulean eyes from the floor, this time locking them with his. The feeling in the pit of her stomach was more than just butterflies. “My name’s Josh. Friends call me Scud.”
“Like ‘stud’?” Vec asked, and he nodded, “interesting. How’d you get that?”
“Could ask the same about—“ he paused to glance down at the form, as if he didn’t study her name on that paper over and over again before she arrived— “‘Vec.”
“I believe I asked you first.” Her tone was playful, oozing with flirtation, and that sweet pink flush returned to her cheeks yet again. Scud was never particularly drawn to pink, but now, it was quickly becoming his favorite color.
“And I asked you second,” he teased. He pulled a pen from his pocket and removed the cap with his teeth, spitting it onto the counter next to him. “How’s that saying go? ‘Second is the best, first is the worst?’”
Scud was immediately kicking himself for his choice of words. In his attempt to flirt back, he’d just sounded like an asshole.
“Wow,” she scoffed with a smirk, slightly wide-eyed and drawing the sounds of her words for dramatic effect.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.” He was nearly stumbling over his words to apologize, desperate to correct himself. “Probably should’ve went with ‘ladies first’.”
“It’s a nickname I got in high school. Too many Lydias in my class. What about yours?”
“Mine too.”
“Too many Lydias in your class as well?” If he wanted to tease, she could too.
“Cute and funny. You’re quite a combo,” Scud complimented as he worked at filling in the blank spaces on her form.
Vec ran a hand over her cheeks, attempting to hide that she was already turning red again. She could dish the flirtation on all day. Taking it, though, was a different story.
“So how come you didn’t just go by Stud?” Her eyes widened and immediately dropped to the counter, practically bugging out of her skull, and her jaw was on the floor. It was as if the words left her mouth on their own accord.
He was clearly reciprocating the flirting, but there was still something that felt wrong about it. He was still working, after all. She’d often fallen victim to being flirted with at her workplace, so she was well acquainted with the discomfort that came with that. Fearing she was crossing boundaries, she apologized once again. “I’m so sorry, I don’t know what’s gotten into me.”
He found it endearing, flattering, and downright adorable, the way she couldn’t seem to stop herself from from being flirtatious, and Scud would’ve been lying if he said it didn’t help to boost his ego. A young woman comes in, and not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she was flirting with him? He was on cloud nine.
“Told you you don’t have to be sorry.” A sweet, boyish smile crossed his lips as their eyes locked again. He wanted to dive right into those crystal blue pools and never find his way back out. “So you like working as a nurse?”
She cocked an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”
“Your scrubs.” Scud gestured up and down her body with a nod, his gaze lingering on her curves for just a moment too long. Thankfully, not a moment long enough for her to notice.
A soft, amused chuckle trickled out from her half-smile, her eyes falling to the floor for half a second before meeting his again. Scud swallowed hard, his hand trailing to and holding his abdomen. The fluttering in his stomach was an unfamiliar sensation.
Was she making him nervous? He was a confident guy, albeit maybe a bit too confident at times. He wasn’t new to the world of women by any means and could often be a bit forward himself. He too knew what he wanted and would go for it. So what was with the butterflies?
“Oh no, not RN,” Vec replied, reaching into her pocket to pull out her badge, flexing her credentials, “MD.”
“Shit.” Scud’s stomach dropped, fearing his asinine assumption just ruined any chance he had with the beautiful doctor before him. “Fucking this up, aren’t I?”
She folded her arms across her chest and rolled her eyes, that sweet giggle traveling to his ears again. There was a glow radiating off of her. It was almost ethereal. “Now when did I say that?”
“So what kind of doctor are you?” Scud asked as he rotated the paper around to face her, tapping on the ‘signature’ line on the bottom with the tip of his pen.
“Trauma surgeon,” Vec explained as she dug around in her bag for her wallet, “emergency room. Bullet wounds, amputations, skin grafts, all that jazz.” Successfully finding her wallet, she handed over her card, their fingers barely grazing past each other.
Though their touch was small, the electricity that sparked between them could’ve lit the entire city of Atlanta.
“Damn,” Scud replied, swallowing hard once again and using his hand that wasn’t tapping keys on the register to steady himself on the counter. That brief moment when their fingers touched turned his knees to jelly. “You’ve probably seen some stuff, huh?”
“You could say that.” Her knees had also turned to jelly, and the butterflies in her stomach amped up, having made a home in her stomach from the moment she walked in the door. She was just a little better at maintaining her composure.
Taking the pen off the counter and twirling it in her fingers, a phenomenal idea crossed her mind. She nodded to the empty space behind him as she signed off on the form. “You got a sticky note back there, Josh?”
His name sounded so sweet when it dripped off her lips like that.
Hoping this was going in the direction he thought, he pulled his notepad from his pocket, tearing one of the small pages out and sliding it across the counter to her. “Thank you.”
As he ran her card and printed the receipt, she etched out a series of numbers and some words before folding the sheet in half and holding it out to him. “What’s that?”
“My number. For if you’d like to…continue this conversation. And you’re not off the market.” She let her fingers linger on his for just a second before pulling away, taking her sweet time in doing so. The thumping in Scud’s chest was now ringing in his ears.
“Been on the market a while. Surprised someone like yourself is too.” Slipping the note into his jacket pocket, he slid the receipt across the counter to her. “Just need your John Hancock and you’re good to go.”
As she signed off on the paper, blood continued to flow to her cheeks despite her best efforts to prevent it. However, the embarrassment of turning pink only made it worse, and it didn’t help that Scud was taking notice. “You do that a lot, don’t you?”
“Do what a lot?” She hoped feigning ignorance might deter him from inquiring further, but when he motioned to his own cheeks with his finger, she knew it was to no avail. “Oh, yeah. Unfortunately, I do.”
“Well it’s cute, so keep it up.” Naturally, that only made the baby pink of her cheeks darken into a crimson red. Scud couldn’t help but allow his mind to wander and picture her with those flushed cheeks in a more…nefarious situation.
He took her receipt off the counter and chuckled under his breath at her signature as he placed it into the register and locked it. Doctor’s handwriting. “C’mon, car’s out back. I’ll walk you.”
She slowly, cautiously stepped around the side of the counter, ensuring to keep at least a few feet of distance between them. Sure, he was cute, and yes, she absolutely loved that he was reciprocating the flirting, but he was still a stranger. She kept one hand in her pocket, fiddling with her canister of pepper spray, the other free and at her side.
“I’m not gonna bite,” he promised, “don’t even have a bark you gotta worry about.” As she took a couple of small steps closer, he put his hands in the air, interlocking his fingers around the back of his neck. “Can keep them like this if it makes you feel better.”
She nodded, and keeping a hand on her pepper spray, she followed him down a tiny hallway, still making sure to keep a couple of feet between them. She had a good judge of character, it was one of her strongest skills, and her gut only had good things to say about this guy. Even then, especially as a woman, one could never be too cautious.
The bitter evening air greeted them as Scud opened the back door to the building, holding it open for her with his body. He kept his hands locked behind his head, only removing them once they were at her car to reach into his pocket and hand her her key. Their fingers brushed again, and this time, he kept his in place for a few moments, letting the electricity dance between them. She kept her eyes on them, watching him toy with the key resting in her hand, and the same soft, amused giggle from earlier emerged from her chest once more. His baby blues were locked on her, watching strands of her black-as-night hair fall into her eyes and using every fiber of his being to restrain himself from reaching out to brush them away.
“Well, it was lovely to meet you, Josh,” Vec practically cooed, her lashes fluttering softly as her eyes flicked back to meet his, “thank you for staying. And I, uh, hope to hear from you. Sooner rather than later.”
That adorable, boyish smile returned to his face. He pulled his jacket tighter around himself and folded his arms across his chest. “The pleasure was all mine. Now get home safe.”
“You too,” she replied.
Waltzing back toward the shop with a newfound pep in his step, Scud was far too eager to wait until he was back inside before tearing open the note she’d written for him. Her doctor handwriting was more legible here, and she’d clearly taken time to make sure it came out nice and pretty.
Vec 555-555-5555 Thanks for being my something good today :)
She tossed her bag in the passenger seat, removing her glasses for a moment and running her hands over her face. Exhaustion was beginning to set in, the weight of sleep heavy in her under-eyes, and her attempts to hold back her yawns were to no avail. As she buckled herself in and started her car, her phone vibrated in the cupholder. Normally, she wasn’t one to answer calls from unknown numbers, but her gut feeling told her exactly who to expect on the other end. And it was correct.
“You said soon. This soon enough?”
“I’d say so,” she chuckled as she slipped her glasses back onto her nose and adjusted them. She covered her mouth to stifle yet another yawn. “How about I text you in the morning? I gotta be up at 5.”
“I expect no later than 5:15,” he joked. The beaming smile on his face was evident in the tone of his voice.
“You have my word,” she promised. Vec always kept her word. It was worth more than gold to her.
After hanging up, she flipped to her messages to send one last text to Georgie before heading home, her cheeks already beginning to ache as her big, goofy grin somehow continued to grow larger.
Vec: So something good came out of this shitty day :)

If no one is standing beside you
Pairing: Rhea Ripley x Fem reader
Description: Rhea stands with you when you prosecute your attacker
Tumblr media
Rhea holds your hand as everyone listens to the jury give out the verdict while holding your breath. You were attacked while walking to your friend's house that was just half a block down the road from your house leading to your face getting busted open and a small brain bleed which worried everyone about your condition you were in the hospital for the next five and a half weeks with the police questioning you not too long into your stay as you slowly remember what happened to you. The one comfort that you had which kept grounded and sane during the police interviews and stay in the hospital was your girlfriend Rhea who never left your side as soon as she was by your bedside even for a second, it was during the third week that you decided to press charges and take your case to court so that the person wouldn't come back for you but also wouldn't harm another person ever again detectives work to find the person responsible after you get a visit and talk with a forensic artist and the sketch was put up and shown everywhere until you finally got the news that they had caught your attacker two days after your release from the hospital. Somehow your attacker gets released which makes you afraid and stay in your home while rhea called and talked with every type of law enforcement involved with your case and raised hell until they found him and not only identified him by DNA but also had you identify him out of a line up which sent you into a panic attack when you saw him leading to your case finally being taken to court where the judge heard testimonies from the people who had witnessed the attack and jumped in to help you along with a man who beat up your attacker after he shoved his teenage daughter before you took the stand, you pour out every detail from beginning to end before being led out where rhea pulled you into a bear hug as you cried. Everyone is pulled back into the court room after six hours of the jury deliberating the verdict leading back to you hold onto rhea's hand tightly as a jury member stands up with verdict, "On the charge of Assault and battery, we find the defendant guilty" the first charge makes your heart lightly pound but the next charge makes it soar "On the charge of Attempted murder, we find the defendant guilty" you were shaking with quiet sobs as the judge sentenced the man who could have taken your life not just to a few years but to life in prison without parole, you yell with joy outside the court house after thanking the prosecutors who fought for you before celebrating the outcome with rhea, your friends, and family.

I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
I actually wrote a fic, go figure! Huge thanks to @minky-for-short for getting me into Hazbin and @hangsters for the support and love! I got a lot more where this came from <3
Please reblog and comment over on Ao3!
----
They've been told to live tonight however they want. And with tomorrow's Extermination looming and the Hazbin Hotel right in the middle of the target, there's only one thing Angel Dust wants to do.
And that's the bartender.
---
You didn’t wind up in hell without knowing fear. Whether you got there by painting it on other people or seeing it in your reflection or both, it didn’t matter, to everyone down below, fear was like an old friend. 
And to Angel Dust, fear was like a toxic hook up whose calls he couldn’t make himself ignore after years of dissatisfying back alley orgasms. 
All to say, he knew the taste of it, sharp like battery acid and sour like cheap, soapy lube. He knew how it sounded, laughter stretched so thin you could see through it, the whir of a camera lens pulling close to try and see where you were breaking. He knew how it smelled, sweat and latex and dry ice. He knew how it felt, cheap faux fur and overwarm, foreign skin. 
Angel had been sucking fear’s dick for longer than he cared to remember. But what surprised him was that he didn’t see it here. 
They should be scared. They should all be pissing themselves in terror. In who knew how many hours, the worst Extermination they’d known would descend, with their home and everyone in it smack bang in the center of the target. And Heaven wasn’t in the habit of missing their shot. 
But when Angel knocked back another shot of top shelf whiskey, he didn’t taste fear in it. The laughter that surrounded him was real, all he could feel was a warmth that he wasn’t sure came from the drink. 
Maybe this was what fear felt like when you didn’t face it alone. 
“You’re staring.”
Angel didn’t have much of a defense, especially when he hadn’t even realized that Vaggie had moved onto the barstool next to him and jumped a mile when she started speaking, nearly spilling his next shot. Because he was busy staring. 
So he took evasive action instead, trying to piece his cool back together, “Ain’t you got a girlfriend waiting on you upstairs? What are you still doing down here?”
“Finishing my drink,” she gave him a cool, bemused look, proving her point by draining the rest of her glass, “I don’t think any of us are in a position to be wasting alcohol tonight. Or time.”
“Thanks for the riddle, toots,” Angel rolled his eyes, taking the shot before someone else could come along and nearly make him spill it. 
“Want me to say it plainly then?” Vaggie arched an eyebrow. 
Angel scowled but he wasn’t mad at Vaggie, not really. He was more pissed at himself for not hiding it better. The five time winner of the Golden Tongue Award (for best performance in a pornographic visual production) should probably have been able to school his face. 
He let his eyes wander across the bar, if there was no point in hiding it anymore. Husk was tossing a cocktail shaker from one hand to the other before sending it up behind his back, bouncing it between his wings, making it disappear and reappear before pouring out an electric blue liquid into Nifty’s waiting glass, to her immense delight. He bowed to the slight but enthusiastic applause, showing Angel a glimpse of the showman he’d been once upon a time. 
It wasn’t just that he was handsome. It wasn’t just that he was Angel’s exact type and then some, that gravelly voice, the snark, the emotional unavailability, the tortured past that muzzled him, his boxes were well and truly ticked. If it was just that, Angel would have torn his clothes off, rode him on that bar and moved on with his afterlife. 
But Husk had pushed back. He’d growled and snapped and thrown up more walls until Angel started to see getting the cat’s trousers off as a professional challenge. Robbed of his only way to safely interact with people, to feel like he was in control, Angel had fallen apart in front of him on one of the worst days he’d had in a while.
And all Husk had done was put him back together again. 
So it wasn’t just that he was hot, there was a hell of a lot more to it than that. And there was the fear again, souring the booze on his tongue. 
“I ain’t a fan of straight talking,” Angel grunted, hunching his shoulders and spinning the now empty glass on the edge of his finger. 
“Figured,” Vaggie sighed in a way that might almost suggest she actually cared, hopping down off the barstool. 
She looked ready to disappear up the stairs but something made her pause, maybe the weight of their borrowed time, maybe something dangerously close to sentiment. But she did stop, reaching out and putting a hand on Angel’s shoulder. 
“All I’m gonna say…I’ve been told the only way to survive this is to fight for love. Find someone you can’t live without and go out there with one goal. Protecting them.” 
Like a magnet, those words drew his eyes over to Husk again. And this time, he looked back, feeling his gaze. Those narrow yellow eyes, glowing like bulbs on a marquee or LEDs tempting a sucker to a slot machine, crinkled a little at the edges, shooting the spider demon a wink. 
Angel groaned inwardly at himself. He was doomed and Heaven didn’t have anything to do with it. 
“Someone like me don’t even know what love is,” Angel murmured, more to himself than to Vaggie, “Might as well be speaking a different language, sugar.”
But he heard him anyway, those damn sharp ears of hers, “Then what better time to make a change?”
Before he could shield himself with sarcasm, she was gone, off up the stairs to someone who loved her. To another heartbeat against her own, arms around her, a silent promise that she was cared about, no matter what the nightmares said. Angel felt a pang in his chest, somehow finding the poor sense to want something he’d never had. 
“Another drink?” 
Angel dredged up a crooked grin, “Sure! Put it on my tab, I’ll come settle up with you tomorrow night.”
“Very funny,” Husk poured him a couple more shots to keep him going, though he was now without other customers. 
Charlie and Vaggie had gone upstairs, Cherri had dragged Sir Pentious over to the pool table where she’d definitely crush him, Nifty was curled up in an unnervingly cat like way, sleeping on the bar and making Angel wonder if there hadn’t been a sedative jn that drink Husk made her. Alastor was who knew where, Angel only cared that Husk relaxed a lot more when he wasn’t around. 
This was the best chance he was going to get.
Let’s get to living. His own words from earlier that night tried to move his mouth, tried to force him forward, tried to stop him being such a damned fucking coward and just say something…
“Actually…I think I’ll turn in,” he seized the rest of the shots in various hands and sank them one by one, trying to wash away the bitterness, “My aim gets real shitty if I don’t get my beauty sleep. And if I’m gonna die tomorrow, like hell am I going down with bags under my eyes. Did it once, never again.”
If he was the kind to hope, Angel Dust might have tried to convince himself he saw disappointment in those slitted eyes. 
But Husk only gave a rolling shrug, collecting up the abandoned glasses, draining them of their last clinging dregs of amber liquid, “Funny, my luck seems to get better when I’m hungover. Sweet dreams, kid.”
Angel Dust chuckled, putting a little swing in his hips, shooting a smile over his shoulder, “Ain’t no other kind with me, baby.”
One last lie for the road. 
At least he didn’t sleep at all, choosing the cloudy headed middle ground of lying back on his bed, staring at the ceiling and prodding listlessly at the ache in his chest. It was like when his tooth had been knocked out, unable to keep his tongue out of the tender, empty gap, no matter how much it made him wince. Fat Nuggets did the sleeping for both of them, snoring on Angel’s chest, every gravelly honk ruffling the feathers pink robe that always made Angel feel like he could hold it together for a few more minutes than he would without it. 
He was angry at himself but that was nothing new, only the reason was old. It had been a fucking long time since he’d promised himself he was done hiding, done paring himself down because someone else wouldn’t like the taste. Lying here, feeling sorry for himself because he was too chickenshit to ask a guy to fuck him, he may as well have been back in 1940, worrying himself sick that his dad would be able to see his secret written on his face. 
Well, Angel Dust wasn’t Anthony anymore. And Angel Dust was losing his goddamn patience. The worst had happened and then some, he’d lost his family, he’d lost his home, he’d lost his life but the one thing he didn’t have to do was hide anymore. Husk was down there, he’d say no or he’d say yes, either way was better than being too damn afraid to know. 
And if he felt more about it, well that was his problem to deal with. It wasn’t like he was going to live much longer anyway. 
Fat Nuggets squawked a little as Angel Dust sat up, displaced from his comfy position. 
“Sorry, sweetie,” Angel kissed the top of his head, trying to make up for it by tucking him nicely in his own little bed, “Daddy’s got some living to do. Last minute and all but you know me.”
A quick check of his hair in the mirror, a quick fluff of the fur on his chest, like he was going down to meet some doll by his car and get swept off the the dance hall rather than going to proposition his surly friend for a quick and dirty end-of-their-afterlife fuck. But there was no harm in looking his best while he did it. 
His reflection in this mirror looked a hell of a lot different than the one in his studio dressing room. There were half a hundred tiny little flaws that would have earned him a sharp, cutting comment from Valentino and maybe worse, depending on the moth’s mood. But Angel Dust didn’t think Husk would care, in fact, he seemed to get further with the guy when he went in the opposite direction to what work demanded of him. So he left them, as much as a disconnected, confused anxiety itched at him, one that hadn’t realized they weren’t at the studio. 
He took a deep breath, holding his own gaze tight, “You’re a pro at this, ain’t nothing you haven’t seen before. You know the steps, boyo, curtain’s up.”
Angel went to the door of his room, feeling buoyed, feeling confident. Until, of course, he ran into something he hadn’t seen before. 
At least it was soft. Though it cursed like a sailor. 
“What the fuck?” Angel yelped, feathers suddenly thumping against his face. 
“Will you keep your goddamn voice down, you’ll wake half the fucking hotel-”
“Husk?” Angel stepped back, blinking in confusion, “Were you…were you outside my door?”
The other demon’s irritation collapsed, fizzing away like an alka-seltzer to reveal the bitch of a hangover underneath. Expressions he’d never seen on that feline face tried unsuccessfully to hide, embarrassment and coyness and a blush barely visible under dark fur. 
“Look, I…can I come in? Please?” he tacked the politeness on the end like he almost forgot it while running out the door. 
“Uh…sure, hon?” Angel Dust stepped to one side, suddenly wishing he’d tidied up a little at any point since he first moved in. Or that the dildos tossed about where a more impressive size. 
Husk didn’t seem to relax a little until the door was closed, until they were definitely alone. He stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, an old antique in amongst a lot of plastic and rubber, while Angel leaned against the door and wondered how he’d lost control of this so fast. 
Eventually Husk sighed, tail twitching and betraying his nervousness, “Look. Feel free to tell me to take a hike here, fuck knows you’d have the right. But…I kept thinking about what Charlie said. About spending this night living how we wanted or whatever. And I…I can’t think of anything else I wanted to do but…”
Angel Dust knew he was grinning like an idiot but he couldn’t help it. It wasn’t every day you got a royal flush laid out in front of you. 
“What? What is it you wanna do, Whiskers?” he tilted his head, faux innocence sparkling in his voice as he batted his eyelashes, “Anything I can help you with?”
Husk’s fur bristled and he pinched the bridge of his nose, “Fuck, I knew you’d be like this, goddamnit-”
Panic gripped him, a terrifyingly certain realization that if Husk left now, if he drove him away, he wouldn’t be able to stand it, “Wait. Sorry. I didn’t…I didn’t mean to fuck with you.”
The apology clearly caught the cat demon off guard, eyebrows rising. A small smile pulled at the edges of his mouth, “Well…guess that was the aim of my coming here…”
The grin came back, feeling more honest this time, more firmly in place. Angel stepped forward, offering one of his hands out to Husk, “Good…cos I was just on my way to ask you the same thing.”
He’d heard Husk bitch about his demon form a lot and in that moment, he could see why. Those ears and that tail were tells you could spot from a hundred miles. And right now they were telling Angel he was damn pleased. 
Husk’s fingers- claws? -were calloused, whether from cards or chips or the keys of the sax he’d apparently played once upon a time. But they held Angel’s in a grip he could be certain of, one he knew instantly wouldn’t let go. 
Angel had jumped on odds far worse than that. 
They toppled onto the bed, swallowed by fur and silk. It took some maneuvering, making their strange forms fit but once they found it, it was fucking sweet. Suddenly there was a solid heat between his legs, something to grind into, fireworks exploding behind his eyes when he did. There was a smoky growl in his ear, a heady smell of whiskey and, fuck, Angel could have gotten drunk just off that. His hands moved of their own accord, two anchoring him to the headboard, the other two taking handfuls of soft, impossibly soft fur. 
“Easy…” Husk rumbled when he pulled a little too hard. 
“Sorry,” Angel Dust purred, splaying his legs wide, rolling his hips harder against Husk’s, “Just feels so good.” 
Instead his hands wandered, finding where fur gave way to feather along that strong, broad back. The moment his fingers brushed there, that unfamiliar muscle, Husk jerked and moaned, the hardness in his trousers throbbing. 
“Oh? Kitty liked that, huh?” Angel tittered, pressing one thumb into a hollow at the base of his wing, earning another strangled yowl. 
“I swear to fuck, if you make me come in my pants like a goddamn teenager, I- fuck, baby, I’m sensitive there- ah…” 
“I’d consider it a compliment, honey, don’t you worry,” Angel cooed, shivering happily at the way Husk’s chest vibrated when he touched him, like he was an instrument he could play. 
“Call me old fashioned…”
Suddenly they were rolling, Angel Dust’s stomach dropping dizzily for a moment until he found himself straddling Husk, who was smirking up at him. 
“But when I’m from?” he finished, voice sounding like everything amber and musk and honey in the world, “If you’re taking a fine man to bed, you let him take his pleasure first. It’s good manners, see? So how about you tell me what you want, Angel?”
Angel Dust was left with the sudden anxiety of having forgotten his next line in the script. Or worse, he’d never even fucking read it in the first place. The answer, perched miserably on the tip of his tongue was that he didn’t know. 
He’d gotten too used to sex where the only thing that mattered was getting a good review, any pleasure he got was a secondary concern. He’d taught himself to like whatever his partner was willing to give, even when it called him a whore, even when it was too much, even when it hurt. The real pleasure had been the packet of powder or handful of pills that came after or before, not the sex itself. 
His confusion must have shown on his face because Husk’s voice gentled, a paw coming up to lightly cup his face, “You want my mouth or my hands, baby?”
Angel Dust pushed his instincts away, “Mouth. I want you to tell me how I taste.”
Rolling again but this time, he enjoyed the free fall. Now Husk was between his legs, drawing down the sweatpants he wore to bed, just enough that he could free Angel’s dick. Angel kicked them the rest of the way off, letting Husk see all of him, legs falling open. 
“Fuck…” his voice was melodic, hypnotic and hypnotized, “You look fucking gorgeous, baby…”
“And it’s all yours,” Angel panted raggedly, wrapping his long legs around Husk’s shoulders. For however long we’ve got left. 
Husk’s purr sounded more like a car engine on its last legs, a rough and slightly threatening sound, but as he nosed and nuzzled at the base of Angel’s cock, it ran through his body like the best warm whiskey. In the dim light of his room, Angel could swear those spots on his wings were glowing, along with his eyes, which were fixed on Angel’s face like he was getting as much pleasure from watching him as he was from licking a broad stripe across his length. 
Angel hissed, back arching up like his whole body was drawn towards that sensation, “Fuck, watch that sandpaper tongue…”
“Sorry. I’m kinda rough all over, baby,” he didn’t sound particularly sorry, flashing him a grin but he did ease up, hands taking hold of Angel’s thighs, keeping him spread wide so he could bury his face against him. 
In the studio, Angel Dust had marks to hit, lines to gasp out, a camera to play up to. With Valentino, he had to make the right noises, he needed to sound scared, he needed to beg. But here, with Husk, out of reach of a script or a contract, he let moans and gasps pour heedlessly from his lips, he moved his body however it felt good. He was loud, loud enough to blow out a mic, he cursed and babbled things that didn’t make sense, he just felt . 
Eventually the fur around Husk’s mouth was soaked, his jaw slack. He was good at this, unfairly good, lips and teeth and tongue all as skilled as you’d expect from someone who’d made a living by them. But now Angel Dust was the sole focus of their attention and he was drawn tight as a bow, ready to snap. 
“Come for me, baby,” Husk’s rasp was almost animalistic now, “Let me hear you fucking sing.”
Angel Dust was more than happy to give him exactly what he asked for, giving a broken, soaring cry as his orgasm crashed over him, sinking him down into such an overwhelming sensation that he soon lost sight of the surface. Panic threatened but then a voice echoed to him. 
“Can I kiss you?”
“Yes…” his own voice didn’t feel attached to his body so it was free to answer truthfully.
It was those lips that brought him back, a mouth that tasted of salt and opened to warmth, arms coming to circle him and anchor him down. Angel moaned, not able to care that his voice cracked unflatteringly as he did. 
“Baby…”
“I got you, Angel, you did good, you tasted fucking incredible…” Husk’s wings settled over them, shielding him from the pink glow of his room. 
He didn’t know how to tell him that the praise threatened to break him all over again, so Angel took charge this time, needing all four of his limbs to press the stronger demon into the mattress. 
He licked the taste of his own come off Husk’s fangs and drew back just enough to gasp out, “You’re gonna fuck me so hard and so deep that if I go down tomorrow, I’m going down with your spunk inside me.”
“Of course that’s your fucking last wish,” Husk’s laugh was a gorgeous thing, a rough bark that made Angel think of smoky jazz lounges from another time. 
He couldn’t help but smile, even if it was mostly bemusement, he wasn’t used to laughing during sex. It did feel pretty fucking good, he had to admit, having a genuine grin on his face as he pulled open Husk’s trousers. Though it quickly fell into awe at what jumped out and damn near smacked him in the teeth.
“Holy fuck!” Angel grinned in delight, one arm having good sense and stretching out to snag the bottle of lube in his bedside table, “Is that an overlord thing? They took the power but they let you keep the massive cock?”
“Shut up,” Husk rolled his eyes, where they snagged on the two hands now soaking their fingers and reaching around to his ass, “Mm…you’re so beautiful, you know that?”
“Heard a couple of people mention it,” Angel grinned down at him, shivering pleasantly as his hands got to work. 
Husk’s eyes burned in the dim light, “Yeah. But do you know it?”
Angel Dust faltered, eyelids half closed. Another question whose answer flitted on his tongue but he didn’t want to let it go. 
And again, he didn’t have to. Husk pulled him down, bending him near in half to kiss him. Unable to wait a moment more, his slicked hands grasped at Husk’s cock, drawing a hiss out of him that he gratefully swallowed. Angel sighed through the stretch and burn, sitting back and slowly, achingly slowly, every inch of Husk disappeared into him. 
Angel was used to pleasures that dissolved quickly on his tongue and in his nose, leaving cold, bitter metal behind. This was something entirely new, something that felt like it was etching itself on every cell in his body, redefining words he thought he’d known inside and out. Pleasure. Sex. Need. 
“Husk…” his voice was a tremulous, faint thing, like he was afraid to be heard. 
“Oh, I knew you’d be like nothing else, baby…” the other demon groaned, thrusting up into him after a moment to let him settle. 
There was no awkward shuffling now, they moved like a dance, like they could hear some music that didn’t exist outside of their bloodstreams. Husk’s hips rolled, Angel arched, two arms thrown up over his head, two others raking down his lover’s chest, leaving deep grooves in his fur. Before, his mouth had been occupied but now Husk sounded like- what else? -a cat in heat, yowling and gasping.
“That’s it, baby, take it, fucking take it, you feel so fucking good, Angel,” he moaned it like a title rather than just a name, like he’d done anything to deserve it. 
“Aw fuck…” Angel Dust felt like he was going to shake apart, there wasn’t room inside him for all of this, he didn’t know where to put it all. 
But he did know that he was about to come, hard. It was unstoppable, undeniable, and if he was half the pornstar he thought he was, Husk was on his heels. It was in the way his voice had shifted up a few notes, the way his grip on Angel’s hips had grown desperate, the break in the otherwise metronome perfect rhythm of his thrusts. 
And that terrified Angel. All the fear he’d expected to find down in the bar, it thickened the air in his lungs like he’d taken an inhale from a real bad batch. Fuck, please, it can’t be over already. 
But this was a fall that had to end. Husk’s hips shifted, heating that sweet spot inside him dead on and he was lost, every muscle tensing as he surrendered to his release. It was sweet and the low roar of his own name, the heat flooding so deep inside him he could damn near taste it, that was sweeter. This time when he broke, he willed himself to stay in those depths, stay in pieces, there was nothing for him on the surface. 
But there was that voice again. 
“Angel…fuck, that was…that was amazing, I…Angel?”
His muscles must have switched off at some point but Husk had caught him, he was sprawled out across the other demon’s chest, their bodies still joined somewhere within the lovely, thrumming haze where the rest of him used to be. But his eyes prickled, heat running down his cheek, dripping onto Husk’s fur where oh fuck no, he’d felt it…
Angel flinched back from the sting of his own tears, bringing an arm up to try and hide, like there was even any point. He rolled off Husk, hunching down as small as he’d go, shoulders trembling. 
“It’s nothing, I…” What are you doing, idiot? “...don’t worry about it, it’ll stop…” Dumb fucking slut, you’re ruining it! “...just give me a second to put myself together…” Like you have any right, get a grip “I’m sorry.”
“Angel.”
He listened miserably, waiting for the creak as the bed lifted without his wait, waiting for the sound of soft paws on the floor and the click of the door closing behind him. But it never came. 
“Angel, can I touch you? That alright, baby?”
He managed to nod, surprise mostly shocking his muscles into moving. There was a shift, a whisper of silk and then soft fur as strong arms wrapped around his middle, embracing him with a deliberate light touch that would let Angel pull away at any point. Another heartbeat, slowing as the adrenaline ebbed away, drummed against his back like a knock at the door. 
“Do you want to talk about it?” Husk murmured against the fur between Angel’s shoulder blades. 
“Nah,” Angel croaked, inhaling deeply, finding that warm whiskey smell again and relaxing, “We ain’t got the time.”
“Fair enough,” he accepted it easily, much to Angel’s relief, “Just get some sleep, okay? I’m gonna stay right here.” 
 He couldn’t help it, however much it made him feel like a child, “Promise?”
“Of course I promise, Angel,” there was an edge of sadness to his voice, more than the usual, not at having to say it again but at the fact that he needed to ask, “I’ll stay as long as you’ll have me. However long we got left.”
Angel smiled grimly. The second wasn’t fucking long enough to allow him the first. Just his luck to find exactly what he’d been looking for in the last few hours he had to live. 
But he would take what he’d been given. Angel always had. 
He turned, burying his face in Husk’s chest, feeling his rough but pleased chuckle, “Best roll of the dice I think I ever made, coming to your door…”
Angel Dust allowed himself a moment to smile at that. To feel wanted. To feel precious. Whatever happened tomorrow, he’d remember this feeling. 
Whatever happened tomorrow, he wouldn’t face it alone.

@jegulus-microfic / february 11: map / word count: 755 cw:implied sexual content
The situation is this, in two days it's the wedding of his two best friends IN THE WORLD, which is wonderful and James is so excited for them after all they had to go through to get to this moment. He honestly loves them from the bottom of his heart, but maybe he would love them more if they hadn't decided to have the wedding IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOTHING. When they decided to have it in France since Sirius and his brother lived there with their uncle from the moment they ran away from their parents' house, the idea sounded sensational, but upon discovering the great little detail that it would be in a small rural village with zero signs in English, James slowly began to panic a little.
And here he is now, without a map since his phone lost all signal and internet access and subsequently ran out of battery, stuck in an old unheated rental car on a dirt road waiting for an endless flock of sheep to cross and not knowing a lick of French apart from "Bonjour" which won't help in this situation. Oh, and it's now pouring. Fantastic.
And you see, of course James has already considered going out and shooing the sheep out of the way, but contemplating he doesn't know where he's going, that wouldn't be good for the sheep who are probably just trying to get back to their pen, or anyone else. That's the only reason, of course it's not because he's afraid of the sheep. Definitely it isn't. 
When the daylight was almost completely gone and James was resigned to die waiting there (why do they need so many sheep in such a small town), a tapping on his window made him jump out of surprise at the thought that the sheep had finally agreed to hasten his death. A horse and its rider were standing by his window, but in order to see his face James had to roll down the pane and poke his head slightly out of the window.
"Vous avez besoin d'aide?" 
James had never regretted not speaking French as much as he did at this moment. The man on the horse looked like something straight out of a "Horse and Rider" magazine, but hotter. With his shiny black boots, wet shirt clinging to his body highlighting his strong arms and abs, and black curls accompanied by the most stunning pair of silver eyes James had ever seen in his life. So what if he wants this god to fold him in half? Sue him.
"Sorry, I don't speak French," James said sadly, putting an end to his fantasy.
"No problem, I just asked if you needed any help." replied the man on horseback in such a fluent way catching him off guard, but with a divinely thick accent. Fantasy resumed.
Oh, a deity had definitely decided to come down from Olympus to personally help James.
Later, inside the castle that Reg called home, and insisted on taking him because, and quoting him, "it's dangerous to drive around here so late at night, lots of wild animals", James emerged from the shower with only a towel wrapped around his hips, not expecting the silver-eyed man to be waiting for him with clean, dry clothes in the room. 
Nothing could have prepared him for the heat he felt as he was scanned up and down by that hungry gaze. So in a moment of enlightenment he remembered the only French phrase he knew.
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?"
"God, if you weren't so hot I'd be feeling so much cringe right now."
James's prayers of being folded in half were answered that night.
The next morning, he awoke to feel the warmth on his right side move and Sirius's horrified screams.
Hold on. Rewind. 
Sirius? So he was able to find the address in the end?
"Really James? My baby brother? And this is why you weren't answering your phone? We thought you were dead!"
Oh, so it is “Reg” as in Regulus. Wow.
“I died and went to heaven.” 
And in the blink of an eye Sirius was on top of him trying to throttle him.
In the end, all the necessary explanations were given. Sirius wasn't happy at first to learn that Regulus and James could become more than a one-night stand, but he eventually accepted it and the wedding went off without a hitch.
James had never been so grateful for a flock of sheep before.

Can you make a fic where stark!reader finds out their partner(you can choose the gender)cheated on them and instead of getting angery r just gets really petty revenge like
covering their entire car in plastic with 100 pic of screenshot showing cheating thru text, flags around their house that says 'inserts ex name is a cheating bastard' and house cover it in posted note with skulls on it and hiden those screenshot all over the house (like they still finds it months because r kept their mouth shut for like a month)
And they can do nothing about because no property damage was done
Tony sees this trending somewhere and immediately recognizes it r partner
I basicly want to see his and the team reaction to this
Revenge Dad!Tony stark x daughter!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: you get back on your cheating partner
Warnings: cursing, payback,
A/N: I made your partner gn! bcuz I'm a lesbian, 🫤 and e/n is ex's name btw
+•°+*°•++•°+*°•++•°+*°•++•°+*°•+
You were laying in bed scrolling through Instagram when you saw your ex, with the person they cheated on you with, this infuriated you, and you got an idea.
You whipped out your laptop and started printing the screens shots of the messages, all, of the messages even after the breakup, all the lovey-dovey stuff they used to do with you, made you even more frustrated
Once it was all printed out, you hid the papers under your bed. And went to sleep for the night.
+•°+*°•+
The next day you took like three rolls of packing tape from the hall closet. Your father dropped you off at school, you didn't even walk in you simply started walking to e/n's house, their parents were at work, and they were at school. So you had the perfect opportunity.
After a few hours you had gotten all for walls of the house completely covered in paper with screen shots printed onto them.
Now how do you get on the roof, you stuffed the remaining papers into your backpack, threw it over your shoulder and began climbing the oak tree, which you would then jump off of in order to get to the roof.
You had alot of trouble not falling off but eventually you did it. You had tons of sticky notes in your backpack so you got a sharpie and wrote
'Liar' 'bitch' 'coward' 'asshole' 'cheater'
and so on.
You stuck them all over the whole house. Even going inside to mess everything up. Licking all of their silverware and dishes.
And you took all of the batteries in the whole house. And the laundry soup, dish soup, oh and all of the shampoo as well.
and you took all of the milk and poured it down the kitchen sink. Just to be a bit more annoying
And just to be a bit more petty you super glued a photo of you making out with their best friend in front of the now destroyed house, and stuck it right on the front door.
you also threw toilet paper all over the house and threw eggs at the car parked in the driveway. And you had confetti cannons and popped them over the fence to their backyard.
You also popped them all over the front yard, the porch, you even picked the lock on the car and popped a few in there too. Once you had finished that you covered the car in tin foil to make it into a giant oven,
You then had one of your friends drop off a flag that was nion yellow and in bold, red letters said "e/n is a cheating asshole" and stuck it into the middle of the front lawn
Then you went back to school with a smile on your face, just in time for the last class you had.
+•°+*°•+
You had seen it all over the news, internet, everywhere. You felt so proud of yourself, especially when it came on the news while tony was channel surfing and the whole team was there.
"Hang on isn't that...isn't that e/n's house" tony said as he leaned into the tv, and upon turning to face you and seeing the smirk and the very pleased expression on your face he realized.
"Y/n, what did you do?"
"That." You said gesturing toward the tv which had a photo of your masterpiece. When thor, Steve and pepper came in they saw this and asked who's house it was and who did it. Not having a clue.
You answered both of the questions calmly and pepper let out a sigh and crossd her arms, and thor and steve both huddled around you screaming. Just screaming...like aaahahhh.
"OOHH! HOLY SHIT! WHAT IS GOING ON In here" bruce yelled as he and sam, bucky, and nat walked in making everyone go silent. You once again explained the situation and...they had the same reaction.
"Ohhh! Oh my god y/n, holy shit!" Nat yelled coming closer to you.
There was a moment of awkward silence for a good seven seconds before everyone started screaming and jumping, including you, tony and pep.
Lets just say they got what they deserved. To this day e/n's family still finds confetti everywhere, in the lawn, in the car, everywhere. They couldn't get to the roof and had to hire someone to take all of your hard work off around the house 😢
Including the money from hiring someone and replacing the items you stole/broke, it costed a good couple hundred dollars.
Karmas a bitch right?
+•°+*°•+
A/N: i had way to much fun writing this hehe 🤭

What do you want?
Ford! Reader
A/n: I am alive!! I know I haven't posted a story in almost a year, but I managed this one! I have some ideas to pull out of my head but it might take a while. Thank you to everyone who has been enjoying and supporting my stories. You have no idea how much it mean to me.
cw: Beaten up Eliot, a client in a bad relationship
Tumblr media
The end of the day finally came. A day of dealing with screwed up supply orders, a chef being cut so badly they had to go to the hospital, and a dead car battery needing to be jumped by a coworker, it was finally time to go home.
So when the last door was locked, and the car was leaving the lot, I could finally relax and not have to wait for another shoe to drop.
I lock my car in the driveway, and dragged my self to my apartment door, locking it behind me, then kick my shoes of by the door.
I drop my purse the side table and take off my coat to hang on it's hook, shaking of the rain that started on the ride home, before head to my bedroom to get a change of clothes before I take a long, hot shower to wash the day away.
Once I'm done and dressed in comfy clothes, I head to the kitchen. I fill my water kettle, then place it on a burner to heat.
I turn to look through the fridge, then the cupboards, then the fridge again for something to snack on, but nothing seems to spark my interest, even though I can't remember when I last ate, so I decide on something simple.
I pull out some of the grapes I had in there and some cheese slices. I grab a box of crackers then begin making a small stack of cracker, cheese, and a grape. I pop the stack in my mouth as the kettle begins to whistle.
I turn off the burner, then grab my favorite mug and tea, and pour the hot water, enjoying the smell waft through the room.
I continue eating in peaceful silence while my tea steeps.
A knock on the door breaks the quiet.
I turn to check the time on the clock. 12:09. Who in the world could be at the door at this time of night. They should be in bed asleep, hell, I should be in bed.
I walk over to the door, stepping around my shoes. I look through the peephole to see Eliot soaking wet in a dark jacket and knit hat, and face swollen and bruised.
I step back from the door unlocking it it quickly before I opened it.
"Eliot? What the hell happened? You look like you got his by a buss."
He blinks. Then shakes his head.
"More like a army." He chuckles, then gestures to his head. "Probable concussion. I shouldn't be alone right now, and thought maybe I could spend a few hours with you?"
"Eliot, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in a hospital resting?"
" I don't do hospitals."
I sigh, grab his hand to pull him inside, close the door behind us, and drag him to the living room.
"Do you need anything? Ice? Food?"
He shakes his head gently as he sits on the couch, leaning his head back to rest on the back of the couch. I sit of the coffee table in front of him, a hand resting in his knee.
"Eliot, when was the last time you ate?"
He's quite for a moment, then shrugs.
" Right," I sigh as I stand, holding a hind out for him to take, " I'm gonna make you something to eat, and I do expect you to eat it, then you are going to get some rest. Here on the couch, or the spare room, your choice."
He places his hand in mine and I pull him to his feet, then lead him to the kitchen, making him sit at the small table in the corner.
"Sit here. I want to keep an eye on you."
I don't give him time to protest before moving about the kitchen, and begin pulling out ingredients for a grilled cheese from the fridge and cupboard, setting them on the counter. Getting my favorite pan from is hanging spot, and placing it on the stove.
I slice some cheese and butter two slices of rye bread, then place the cheese down on one slice, and the second piece on top. I place the sandwich on the pan and ignite the stove, turning it to low.
I let it cook while I mix up a mug of tea for Eliot. Getting it just right before placing it in front of him.
I smile at him, then turn back to the stove and flip the grill cheese over, the pan sizzling as the butter hits the pan.
I turn back to face Eliot sitting at the table. His hands wrapped around the mug, eyes closed. I take in his appearance, one eye is swollen shut, and a bruise blooms on his cheek.
I turn back to the stove and shut off the stove and place the sandwich on a plate.
"Eliot, what happened?" I ask, as I walk to table and set the plate in front of him.
He looks at me, then let's out a sigh and begins telling me in between bites about the latest job, helping a young mom leave her abusive husband, who had ties to some powerful people. And they had kidnapped the woman's little boy, and he and Parker went to get him.
"Was getting beaten to a pulp part of the plan?" I ask him as I take his hand in mine.
"I can take the punishment." He squeezes my hand slightly. "It was my job to retrieve her kid. It's what I do."
We sit in silence, hand in hand, until he grumbles.
"I like your way of distracting guards much better." He rasps.
"Me too," I smile. "Not as painful."
" I don't think Nate would agree." He chuckles.
" My dad knows I am a grown woman, and can do want I want. Besides, I saved that job."
"Yes, you did."
A long moment passes before I speak.
" You haven't come around since that job." I rub his knuckles, focused on a small scar near his ring finger.
" I've been 'round. We've seen each other -"
" Yes, but-" I interrupt, then hesitate.
"But what?"
I take a deep breath.
"But you haven't been here." I gesture to my apartment as I stress the last word. "You haven't come over to cook together, or watch a movie, or listen to me rant about co-owning a restaurant. You have barely looked me in the eye since then.
"And I know you guys have jobs, and that the world doesn't revolve around me, but we kissed, El. Once here, in my kitchen, and again on that job. And I would do it again if you wanted to."
I take another breath after my small rant at him. He still just sits, in his chair, Stoick as ever.
I let my body deflate at his silence. I release his hand, then stand up and head to the stove and to the pan I left there, now cool enough to handle.
I turn on the water and soap the sponge. I wash the pan, then set it in the drying rack. I wash the other items I used, that add them to the dryer.
"I don't want to mess things up. I don't want to mess with the team, or you." He explains. "I haven't had anything serious in a long time."
"You're serious about me?"
"As a heart attack," his voice has a laugh behind it, but then his tone changes. "But I don't think Nate would approve."
I turn to look at him. He's looking at the table, picking at his fingertips.
"What does my dad and his approval have to do with you and I?"
"He knows me," He sighs out. "He knows some of my past and-"
He stops, looking away from me.
"Eliot I don't care about your past. With women or the jobs you've taken. I am much more interested in a future. If that's what you want."
We sit there in near defining silence.
"Eliot what do you want?"
He finally looks at me, his face full of emotions.
"You." He grumbles. " For as long as you'll have me."
"You have me." I whisper.
He takes a deep breath, nods to him self, then places his hand on the table and stands up.
He rounds the table towards me, his steps full of purpose.
He walks up to me, his body is close enough to mine that I can feel the heat radiating from him.
"Will you, Miss Ford, go on a date with me?" He whispers.
"Yes," I whisper back.
"Can I kiss you?"
I nod.
He cups my face in his hands, leans in and presses a sweet kiss to my lips.
