Alpha!eddie purposely being kept away from omega!reader because he has the urge to breed her. He becomes extremely aggressive and stronger than usual. Everyone keeps them apart because reader hasn't been with anyone before and they are worried eddie will hurt her. But he finally gets out and while reader is taking a bath he slowly pushes the door open and well you know what happens next. 😏

little glass doves: alpha!eddie munson x omega!reader

authors note: oh my, i love ur mind, i had so much fun with this and hope you enjoy it. feel free to send thoughts, feedback, or more ideas. much love :)

warnings: mentions of smut, brief smut, a/o/b dynamic, sexual markings (hickeys) (18+ no minors)

The relationship was only a few weeks old when Eddie presented as an alpha and, mere days later, you an omega. 

Isolated for your presentations, you were inseparable when released, constantly by each other's side. Everything from your body spray, your toothpaste, and natural scent was making him drunk. It was just so fresh still, an entirely brand new situation for you especially who had never had a boyfriend.

Before, you and Eddie had been close friends and then started to date. He pulled out all the classics, a drive in, a walk in the park, and even going to some pop concert you had been talking about for weeks. But the farthest you two had gotten was oral. 

Tasting you was intoxicating, still feeling the way your folds kissed his lips that dripped with your arousal. Your mouth on him made him weak, feeling like he could burst at any moment with only one thought on his mind. You.

So as you reunited, something always came up when you tried to be alone together. Nancy had, for some inexplicable reason, been walking behind the school when she spotted the two of you making out. He had the urge to just scream for her to go away, but it also made him realize fucking against the back of the school wasn’t an ideal first time.

Despite this, he littered your skin with hickeys from the quick make out seshes he could muster in between classes. His hand was like a vice on you, not wanting any space between your tingling skin. Only people could force him away from you.

It was the very reason Eddie sat with Steve, Jonathan, and Argyle at the diner just outside of town. The waitresses knew them by name, letting them have the best booth in the house, starting with french fries for the table.

“Dude, these fries feel like angels tap dancing on my tongue.” Argyle mused, mixing his ketchup and mayonnaise into an interesting pink color, dipping a crisp potato. 

The surrounding boys agreed and Eddie ate reluctantly, only envisioning you. He would do anything to have you alone right now, but Nancy, Eden and Robin insisted on taking you shopping. 

“Hey!” Steve yelped, blowing the paper of his straw at Eddie’s reddened cheeks due to a strange mix of frustration, arousal, and anger. “We’re trying to talk to you.”

“What.” He bit, crossing his arms and leaning against the turquoise leather seats that squeaked. 

“We’re going to the movies later, you’re coming. It's the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” Jonathan explained, taking a sip of his Coke, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. 

Shaking his head adamantly, he scoffed, bewildered they would even suggest. Typically, that would be his type of night, but not when he knew you'd be alone, ready for him at home. With your body becoming accustomed to your omega needs and desires, all Eddie could think of was pumping you full.

The idea of having kids didn’t thrill him until you, now he wanted to fill you to the brim, watching it slip out so he could push it back in with his fingers. He’d chuckle at your sensitivity as he gave you another load, your mascara running down your pretty cheeks as you begged him to fill you one more time. 

He could see it perfectly, tempted to just crash wherever the girls had taken you and bring you to his trailer. Or even your home, decorated in soft colors and scented like pastries from the assortment of candles. He had only been over a few times as his trailer seemed to be the common meeting grounds, but even then, he thought of making you fall apart. 

He’d get hard as you sat innocently, gasping when you felt him, sitting on his lap with wide eyes. He’d get you naked, grabbing your hips and fucking into you with miniscule time in between. It was almost shameful how much the idea of using you like a fuckdoll turned him on, but he would always make you finish, comfortable and loved. 

“You’re not gonna see her tonight, man.” Steve sighed, looking with empathy at Eddie’s stern face that clearly was holding back a lot of emotion. Each word they spoke seemed to derail his plans, forcibly jostled around as if in amusement.

“What the hell are you guys talking about? I’ve been trying to see her alone for two weeks and something always comes up! I’m fucking over it.” Eddie huffs, voice raising slightly, drawing the attention of the older couple in the front, sipping their coffee. 

They looked away once Steve swirled his finger, making them turn back around in shame that they had been caught. 

“Can’t have any lil Munson-reno’s out there.” Argyle hummed, creating the nickname from the crevices of his brain, giggling to himself after he said it. 

“That’s none of your business what we do-“ Eddie snapped, hands going to the table as he leaned forward, clutching the white, wooden table.

Jonathan grabbed his shoulder from beside him, yanking him to sit upwards and patted his back. He attempted to take a deep breath, knowing he was on a hormonal high, but also notoriously not a fan of people telling him what to do.

“C’mon man, she didn’t even do it before presenting and we all went to the same health class so we know alphas are a lot. Now, she’s an emotional mess and you,” Jonathan accentuates by poking his chest, “Are basically a hormonal bomb ready to impregnate anything. Just wait.” 

Cringing at his wording, Eddie’s face scrunched as he grumbled. It was crude, but the worst part was that he was right. You probably needed something more gentle than what Eddie could give you at his heightened state.

“I won’t be rough, asshole.” Eddie all, but growled, fisting the white napkin in his fists.

“Eddie, you’re not a violent dude, we know that. But this? This is instinct, it takes over the second it happens.” Steve lectured as kindly as he could, “We know you care about her, but you’re already marking her up with the few minutes you do have alone.”

Why did they have to be right? He wished he had a shock collar that would zap anytime he went too rough, but you were so receptive, basking in it even in the few moments. His thought process was cut short when the waitress brought over his burger, thankful for even the smallest distraction. 

The boys did a good job of entertaining Eddie for the next few days, just as the girls had been for you. Keeping you distracted was a different type of battle though. 

You weren’t aggressively trying to run towards him, elbowing anyone out of the way. Your response was more solemn as you emotionally craved your boyfriend, not officially becoming alpha and omega paired. It registered as almost a cruel rejection, wishing for even a moment alone to prove how good you could be for him.

Thinking of him made your eyes haze, clutching to the shirt he left over weeks ago and not wanting to leave bed. Or crying over not seeing him for a few hours, something you never would’ve done previously. 

“I know it sucks, babe, but we’ll be here to cheer you up!” Eden consoled, rubbing your back in small circles as you laid on your side on Robin’s couch. Eden was the only one who truly knew how you felt, presenting as an omega a few months ago, but Argyle hadn’t. Boys typically presented later, stereotypically alphas, but sometimes omegas or betas.

A week went by, Eddie was getting restless as were you. The brief moments in school were refrained to holding hands and sitting beside each other with far too many layers of clothes between. 

He had accidentally dropped his DnD dice in your English class, having to rush out to meet a customer in the woods, so you picked it up. Twirling the blue D20 with white numbers, still not entirely understanding the game, but knowing enough to watch every Friday. 

Passing by Dustin, you told him to mention the dice, when Eddie made his way back to campus. He nodded, not paying much attention as he and Mike argued about if riding their bikes to school was dorky or not. 

You had made it home by the time Dustin told Eddie, holding out his hand for the sketches the older peer promised to lend him to trace. The younger boys rode off as he walked to his van, sitting in silence for a moment. 

This was his chance, he could finally be with you alone in your home, surrounded by your dainty trinkets on your night stand and pretty dresses in your closet. Everything about you made him swoon no matter how mundane. 

He talked himself out of it, reminding himself that you might need more time and getting riled up will only make him pent up. More than anything, he craved intimacy in other ways like your movie nights that occurred when you were just friends. 

He hadn’t even realized he made it to your house until he stepped on your doormat, the crunch beneath his feet making him knock. A few seconds passed by until he knocked again, sighing with no answer. 

The spare key was hidden under the mat, figuring you were listening to music or studying, and you assured him that he could let himself inside, even when just friends. His hands were shaking as he unlocked it, taking off his white sneakers inside. 

Wandering around the quiet halls, he was growing more curious as to where you were, knowing you didn’t do any extracurriculars this week. Curiosity was shot down when he saw the light from the bathroom creeping into the rest of the walkway.  

With no one due home for hours, you had left the door wide open, sitting inside the pure white tub. You looked completely relaxed, dewy from the heat steaming from the water, glancing over when you saw him. 

“Oh, hi Eds,” You smiled, slightly embarrassed, “Y-your dice are in there.”

Fuck the dice. Not when you were sitting completely naked beneath a sea of white bubbles, skin soft from the creamy body wash you used. He trudged forward, clenching his eyes tight and inhaling.

He mentally slapped himself, making his way over to your bedroom, his dice resting beside your two petite glass doves. The two birds connected at the mouth, something you found at a trinket store, insisting you purchase it. He tried to forget you were in such a compromising position only feet away, but the memory only reminded him how gentle and sweet you were. 

The pattering of feet brought his attention to the doorway as you stood, wrapped in a yellow towel, heat rising to your cheeks from the cleansing and intensity. He didn’t say a word as he shoved the small piece into his pocket, crossing his arms firmly, not in an intimidating manner, but just to keep him restrained.

“I’ve missed you, Eds.” You smiled, hand tightening around the top of the towel, covering just above your breasts. He felt his blood rushing, opening his mouth with nothing coming forward.

He reciprocated the longing with a chuckle, soon pinching the bridge of his nose, shaking his head as you swarmed him. It was almost as if you were confining him. But all you had done was take a step closer, pressing your lips against his like he was being sunkissed on a fresh spring day.

“Sweetheart, I need you to say you want this or I need to leave.” He blurted, hating his proposition, but knowing he was far too gone to be around you. His jeans tightened as he bit his lip, feeling your covering skid over his goosebump littered arms. 

“Please.” You whimpered, knocking all the wind from his gut as he grunted, lifting you up to toss you on the bed. 

His kiss was fiery, plush lips tasting your vanilla lip balm, feeling your hands mangle through his curls. His hands went to your towel, ripping it away in a quick swipe, making you gasp at how it ran across your body.

He stood up to remove his clothes, a low growl filling the air as he stared at you. Your breasts still coated in droplets of water, your legs scented like your cotton candy shaving cream, and your pussy on display. 

As his cock sprang free from his boxers, knot forming quickly, you gasped and he could see the way you clenched. The arousal seeped from your desperate hole, not mentally even understanding just how badly you needed this, how much better you’d feel.

Running his fingers through your folds, he leaned on top of you, one knee on the bed for balance. He felt your trembling, hands gripping his shoulders as if that would slow him down, but you didn’t want the motions to cease anyways.

“Want to be your omega.” You cried, his finger swirling around your hole, bringing his digits to his mouth. Somehow, you tasted more divine than before, like a perfect palate made just for him. 

Angling himself, he planted both knees beside you, breathing heavily over your face. A tear or two fell against your cheeks, mouth opened for any form of touch he wanted to give, whether it be lips, fingers, or even just to humiliate you, you wanted to entertain him. To be his starring role, even for the next ten minutes, drawing the curtains until he was ready for the next performance. 

His tip ran through your lower lips, moaning at how you felt, feeling so horny, yet so emotional. He felt like he could cry, how dainty you appeared to him in this moment, and how he just wanted to ruin you. He wanted you to be chanting his name, unable to construct any other thoughts than him. He chuckled, looking down at you with his soft brown eyes that now held something more domineering. 

“Oh sweetheart,” He cooed as you awaited his response, seeing how desperately you wanted to be his omega, he thrusted into you as you cried out, “You already are.”

hi, thank u for making it to the end, im giving u a forehead kiss.

SHARING IS CARING, SO PLEASE REBLOG

You woke up to the sound of running water coming from Tony's bathroom down the hall.

Being a natural morning bird, you weren't surprised to find his side of the bed empty, but you did wonder if he was able to get much sleep after your lovemaking.

As the warm water rained over his head, Tony closed his eyes dreading the day he'd have to say goodbye. It filled his heart with an agonizing anxiety just knowing that you'd be alone for such a long time.

Although he loved serving his country and following his father and grandfather's footsteps, he'd never thought he'd actually contemplate retiring from the service.

Dressed in only his army green t-shirt, you slid out of bed and knocked on the bathroom door, snapping him out of his dull trance and chasing away his worries. He smiled to himself knowing you were awake and told you to come in.

"Babe? Mind if I take a leak?" you smiled softly grabbing your toothbrush and his toothpaste.

"Not at all, sunshine. Knock yourself out. You wanna join me?"

"Lemme pee first then."

"Just pee in here," he smirked. "I ain't opposed to golden showers."

"Ew, Tony!" your laugh was partly muffled by your brushing as you sat on the toilet to relieve yourself. "I am not going to pee in the shower."

"Not even if it turns me on?"

"Well, I'd have to think about it. I can't just pee on command" you mumbled back.

"You'd really do that?" he asked surprised popping his head out from behind the shower curtain.

"For you, yeah."

"I was actually kidding, but I'm flattered" he grinned.

Despite last night's news, he seemed to be in a much better mood.

Tony was actually just determined to enjoy the day and make it the best you've ever had. You didn't know it yet, but it was going to be a very special day.

You chuckled in response as you flushed and walked to the sink to rinse your mouth.

"I'd do anything for ya, babe. You know that."

"Anything, huh?" he smirked watching you slide his t-shirt off from your body and toss it to the floor. "Why don't you come in here then and do something for me?

His dick couldn't help but twitch at the sight of your naked body. It was just his instinctive reaction to you, but it already had him stroking his cock to harden up.

"You are just always ready to go, aren't you?" you giggled stepping in the tub.

"I can't help myself, baby. Look at you. You're fucking beautiful."

Tony stared at you with hungry eyes as he stepped aside to make way so you could enjoy the water first; his hand never ceasing his movement below his hips as he watched the water trickle down over the curves of your breasts.

"You think so?" you smirked at his eager cock.

"I know so, sweetheart. So fucking sexy and beautiful. But what I really love is knowing you're all and only mine."

You nodded as you closed the space between your body, letting your perky nipples graze his chiseled chest.

"Yes, I am. I'm all yours, baby."

Dipping his head down to kiss you, you welcomed his tongue and let it dominate your mouth.

Feeling his cock poking your belly had your skin burning hotter than the water that now felt cold against you.

Your hand reached down to replace his and continued the firm stroking it as you knelt down.

Tony was so much taller than you that you couldn't comfortably reach his cock on your knees.

Already aware of the height differences between you, he sat on the edge of the tub on the opposite end of the shower with his back against the wall to allow you more comfort.

You thanked him with a smile that melted his heart like a flame held against wax.

He moaned when your tongue licked over the sensitive vein on the underside of his shaft. With his knees spread wide open, he let you effortlessly lull him into pleasure.

You took your time to cover every inch you knew he loved.

You sucked on each of his sensitive heavy balls, using your lips to delicately tighten around them, sending a wave of pleasure through his core to force out a breathless 'fuck' from his lips.

You teased the soft skin between his dick and balls with your tongue until he was begging you to suck him, desperate for your warmth.

Although you knew you could torture him like this, you decided to be nice today and obliged by taking his tip into your mouth. Your head bobbed up and down his deliciously thick and heavy cock as his hands gently gathered your hair to hold it back for you. It wasn't just to help you; he just loved watching your cheeks hollow out and your jaw hang open around his thick dick.

The moans from your throat vibrated down his legs into toe-curling pleasure.

"Fuck, baby. You know how to suck my cock just right" he breathed.

You chuckled muffled by his cock until you lifted your head up to press his tip against your lips to let your spit dribble past your lips, letting him watch his salty precum mix with your saliva.

"Look so fucking pretty with my cock in your mouth. You like that, baby?" he smirked praising you as he stared at your tongue twirling around his excited pink head. "You like sucking my cock?"

"Fucking love it. I love it even more when you come in my mouth. Make me swallow it all."

"Jesus, fuck..."

He gently pushed his dick back into your mouth, even more turned on than before just listening to your filthy words. He couldn't take it anymore.

He stood with your mouth still latched onto his cock and bent his knees for your comfort, urging to intensify the act.

You were so wet and warm on his cock and it drove him wild.

You loved it when he couldn't control himself anymore, surrendering himself to the pleasure.

You reminded yourself to breathe through your nose as his hips snapped ruthless against your face. As you cradled his aching balls, he shoved his cock down your throat over and over and over again, bottoming out completely despite your tearful gags.

Drool dripped from the corners of your lips and onto your chest, drawing strings of saliva and precum every time he pulled your head back before burying his dick down your throat again.

His hand tightened around your makeshift ponytail, tugging at your hair harder as his desire grew more and more with the gagged moans as he stuffed your mouth with cock.

He growled as he finally came in the back of your throat, holding your head all the way down his cock until he was sure you swallowed the large load.

Pulling away to let your breathe, he used his hand to milk the final drops against your red plushy lips and smirked darkly as he watched you lick it up, flaunting the pearly white drops against your tongue with teary eyes locked on his before swallowing it down and holding your tongue back out.

He smiled down at you and stroked your cheek with his thumb

"That's my girl. Taking cock like a champ. Think your pussy can take it well too?"

"Yes, sir" you smirked widely at the thought.

"Gimme a taste of it first, baby."

He helped you back up to your feet and knelt in front of you. Hook your leg over his shoulder, you set your foot against the tub's edge to balance yourself.

"Such a pretty little pussy all for me" he whispered against your mound before delving his tongue into your folds.

If there was one thing Tony excelled at, it was eating pussy. You tried not to think too much about it since it kinda made you jealous. But the way his tongue worked over your sensitive nub and licked your juices from your entrance was enough to silence those worries and make you melt into him.

It didn't take him very long to have your legs spasming from an orgasm, but it gave his body enough time to recover and harden again.

His shit-eating grin showed how proud he was for turning your pussy in a drenched slippery mess of juices.

Holding on your thigh as he stood, he effortlessly lifted the other with his free.

With your hand clasped around the back of his neck, he slid you up against the wall tiles with your legs spread opening over his arms. You slid a free hand down to align his dick to your soaking cunt, allowing him to slip it past your welcoming lips.

"Pussy so wet, it just slides right on in there" he smirked proudly at you.

"Like a glove" you moaned holding onto him.

As he pinned you to the wall, his hips slammed against your ruthlessly.

The bathroom was filled with panting breathy moans, echoing slaps of wet skin-against-skin as his balls smacked against your ass and the metallic rattling of his dog-tags hanging from his neck.

His lips were merciless against yours, mauling them with feverish kisses until your lips were swollen and sore.

He was hitting all the right places; the position he held you allowed him to fuck you raw and deep, tickling that specific spot in your core that made you come undone.

You begged him not to stop. You begged him to cum in your pussy and fill you up again. You reminded him how good he stretched your cunt out.

He tightened the grip on your ass as he held you firmly in place to fuck you harder.

Lowering his head, you followed his gaze to watch his beautifully angry cock brutalize your sopping pussy.

"Y-you fuck me s-so good!" you moaned loudly throwing your head back.

You could feel it building up again. The searing toe curling pleasure was beginning to ripple through from your core, forcing your fleshy walls to tighten around him.

You gasped as your body trembled from the pleasure, but he wouldn't stop. Tony refused to stop until you got what you asked for because his girl always gets what she wants.

"Tell me what you want, baby" he panted watching your breasts bounce wildly with every thrust.

"Fi-fill me up again, T-Tony. Please! Please! Please! Cum in-in my pussy, Tony!"

Hearing you beg sent him over the edge with a husky low growl that sounded as animalistic as the sex.

His hips thrusted into you once, twice, three times as your pussy milked his cock of every drop of cum he could release into your womb.

Stilling his thrusts, he held himself inside your pussy to keep his load in place while he lifted his head to capture your lips in a passionately tender kiss, letting the water rain down over his back to soothe and calm you both from your high.

The intense shower sex left your legs wobbly as you got dressed in a part of denim shorts, a cute flirty top and a pair of low top sneakers.

Tony dressed himself in his favorite jeans and white t-shirt with a pair of black sunglasses hanging from his collar. The most important item was tucked secrely in his bag, hidden away from your eyes.

He thought about leaving it in his pocket, but since you'd be going on ride at the pier, he was worried it could slip out and be lost forever.

Thanks to the late start in the shower, you opted to have breakfast on the road, stopping at the highway Denny's for a quick bite.

The drive to Santa Monica consisted of talk, music and laughter. Having bought a camcorder, you decided to turn it on to film bits and pieces of your road trip.

You'd done it many times before and Tony welcomed it, agreeing that it would be nice to document your intimate moments so he could watch them while overseas or even share it with your family if it came to having one together.

During the drive, you debated which rides and foods to try first, which radio station to listen to, if The Backstreet Boys or Christopher Cross sang 'Sailing' better after singing along to it.

There was never a dull time with Tony. He just felt like home. Like you could talk about anything and everything and still be so interested in everything he has to say.

Tony loved that you were so comfortable and down-to-earth around him instead of constantly worrying about if you looked pretty or how you sounded in sharing your thoughts. He adored that you were willing to speak your mind freely and respectfully debate him if he had an opposing opinion.

You weren't just arm candy to him or someone to flaunt off. You were his best friend; the one person in the world he felt he could be himself around.

There was a level of comfort between you that blossomed organically and effortlessly. Neither of you were afraid to be yourselves because that's what you loved the most.

As you reached the hotel, you realized why Tony hadn't told you anything about it. He wanted to surprise you and he knew you wouldn't have agreed to stay in a fancy hotel only for two days.

"Tony, you said you got us a simple hotel. This is not a simple hotel."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I just wanted to do something nice for us. It's for a night. Might as well treat ourselves" he smirked slyly as the valet opened the car door for you.

Walking into your room, you were speechless. The room was elegantly simple, but the oceanfront from the balcony was beyond breathtaking.

You instantly gravitated to the balcony and stepped out onto it. Gasping at the view, you held the railing in awe.

Tony followed you quiet and wrapped his strong arms around your waist, enveloping your frame.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it, Tony. But you didn't need to go all out to impress me. I would've been happy with something simpler than this."

"I know, babe. But you deserve more and if I can spoil ya, I will." He smiled as he pressed a kiss to the back of your head.

"I figured we could spend the day today at the pier. Then enjoy a relaxing night in the hotel's hot tub. And relax on the beach tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I love the sound of that."

Lucy Bronze x Reader (10)

Masterlist (other parts here)

Lucy was on her back when she woke, her arm automatically reaching for YFN who wasn’t there. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, finding her glasses neatly on the bedside table. YFN must have taken them off her last night. She looked down at the little pillow under her knee and smiled. She must have done that also. YFN had been right, of course. Her orgasm last night was well needed, and she felt relaxed and a lot less stressed. Her knee, however, was numb almost, which wasn’t the best sign. It was going to hurt today, she knew it. Trying to ignore that and be positive, Lucy wondered where YFN was and suddenly smelled cooking. Excited, she made her way to the bathroom and had a cold shower to start her day.

She found YFN in the kitchen with headphones on. She seemed to have remembered where everything was after cooking the night before. She had on a pair of Lucy’s socks, her England kit shorts and a bra. Her golden brown sun-bleached hair was in a messy bun and her hips swayed to the music as she sung to herself. The kitchen counter was set out neatly with two little bowls filled with fruit and two empty plates which she presumed were for the hot food she was cooking on the stove. Lucy sat at the kitchen counter and watched her move. She loved being able to look at her like this, without her knowing. God, she could stare at the back of her all day, let alone the front of her. Her hips swayed and Lucy remembered the way she’d fallen apart on her face just two nights ago. She’d been thinking a lot about how much she wanted that again. Right now. At the pub last night. During training. It was becoming an obsession. She spotted the little dimples in her lower back and tilted her head, smiling. How had she not noticed them before? Dimples on her cheeks, and her back? Obviously now she wanted her on her hands and knees she could look at her dimples while she played with her from behind.

Lucy caught herself. Never before had she had such sexual thoughts about someone. The power this little Australian held over her.

YFN turned around, phone in hand, and it went flying. She visibly jumped at the sight of Lucy casually sitting there admiring her. She recovered quickly and couldn’t help the happy smile that spread across her face. She pulled her headphones down with her spare hand. “Luce!” She beamed like she was the most important person in the world to her.

“Morning, dimples.”

Her brow raised slightly in delight and she rushed around the kitchen counter to embrace Lucy. They were both the touchy type, their bodies naturally grabbing for each other, YFN’s arms around her head, Lucy’s around her waist with her head in her neck. They pulled back eventually, still hanging off each other. Lucy’s fingers found her little back dimples and played with them curiously.

“I hope this is okay..” YFN gestured to her cooking. Lucy nodded heartily and pulled her close again. YFN used her hands to tilt Lucy’s head up and brush her lips over her own. Lucy’s eyes fluttered shut as she sat, lips parted, enjoying the love. YFN kissed her so softly, she almost couldn’t feel it. The kiss slowly became more passionate, Lucy tasting like mint toothpaste and YFN tasting sweet like she’d just been eating some fruit.

“Mmn, pineapple.” Lucy murmured against her lips.

YFN pulled back suddenly with a knowing expression. Lucy was taken by surprise. “Did I do something wrong?”

“Well you did say the safe word..”

Lucy tilted her head back and laughed at that. “I don’t think I’ll ever have to use a safe word with you.”

YFN covered her in kisses from along her jaw up to her forehead, ending at her lips. She pulled back to see a grinning Lucy, eyes closed and accepting the free love.

“You’re going to meet my mum today.”

YFN was suddenly nervous. “Say that again?”

“She’ll be at the game with Jorge and the kids.”

“Who?”

Lucy frowned. Was she getting cold feet? “My mum..” She said again, the ‘u’ sounding like an ‘or’.

“Oh, I heard you the first time. I just really love the way you say mum.”

“You love a lot of things about me.” Lucy grinned, cocky and relieved.

“That… is true. You’re a bit addictive to me.”

“Oh?” Lucy was interested to hear more but YFN jumped in before she could.

“Can I ask about your knee?” Her hand found Lucy’s knee and stroked it supportively.

“I think she’ll give me some trouble today.”

“And not playing is not an option, right?”

Lucy nodded with a sigh. “I don’t have much time left, so I need to make the most of it. My knee is always going to be an issue regardless of surgeries, so I figure I just need to deal with it until it gives up on me.”

“Until they stretcher you off?” She quoted.

Lucy nodded.

“I wouldn’t like to see that,” she said quietly. “I’d like to learn how to help.. how to look after your knee. Where it gets sore, where to massage it and what helps.”

“You already did so much for me last night,” Lucy murmured adoringly. “Far more than I’ve done for you.”

“Flip our situations and you’d be doing the same, or more, and you know it.” One look at the way Lucy looked at her and she knew it was true. “I can give you something to help me with while I plate up breakfast for us?”

“Anything.”

She took her phone and showed Lucy. Since she’d been followed by so many female football players as of late, her notifications had been blowing up. Lucy’s follow had the worst impact of all. Her phone was losing battery quick and she could barely use an app. She could fix it, but she knew Lucy liked being helpful.

Lucy looked at the issue and got a little serious. “I can fix this.. I just hope no one has been nasty, the internet world isn’t a great place at times.”

“I haven’t read anything to be honest. I barely managed to reply to you last night and play music this morning.” She laughed and left to plate up their food.

They ate breakfast, chatted, flirted, kissed. It was like they’d been together for years. They washed up together and spoke about different things and shared stories. Lucy spoke about her family, and it sounded like her mum was the most important person in her life. She’d supported Lucy when she was young and not so confident, especially when she’d gone over to America to play football. She sounded like a strong woman, someone who YFN hoped would like her.

Lucy let her play with her knee, showing her the problem areas and describing the anatomy of it all. She’d done a degree in sports science and knew a lot about knee issues, particularly on female football players. YFN found all of it interesting, she’d always liked anatomy and the way things worked. She listened carefully and managed to pick up quite easily what helped and what didn’t with her knee.

Somehow as they were trying to talk about Lucy needing to go, they found themselves on the couch and unable to keep their hands off each other. Lucy had pulled her down to straddle her and YFN had let Lucy’s hair loose, fingers tangled amongst it with Lucy’s tongue in her mouth.

“You need to go.” YFN gasped.

Lucy nodded against her. “I need to go,” she said into her mouth and her tongue brushed YFN’s again.

They were eventually parted by Jordan replying to YFN’s messaged from earlier. She was on her way to pick her up for lunch before the game.

Lucy was hesitant as they were saying goodbye at the door. “Little one… if today’s game doesn’t go well.. I think it’s best you don’t see me after it… I can be a bit too much if I’m upset at myself.”

YFN stepped forwards so their faces were inches apart, eyes loving each other. “We’ll take it one step at a time, okay? Don’t worry, you aren’t scaring me off anytime soon. And if you get upset on the field then just look up.. I’ll be the one with the Australian flag.”

Although they’d spent every day together since they met at the beach, YFN still felt like she was neglecting Jordan a bit because of how Lucy had drawn her attention. And so today she delved deeper into conversations with Jordan about her mental health and her future goals. It was a productive talk. Jordan admitted she was at a point where she was going through the motions instead of having goals to aim for, and so YFN helped her make new goals. She wanted to buy a house close to her family, and friends. YFN offered to help her look. She was also going to work extra hard at Villa to ensure Sarina picked her for the next camp. “England’s not getting rid of me anytime soon!” She said with a passion and YFN clapped hands with her, buying her a drink for the confidence. The last thing she agreed with was that she needed to meet more people, potentially non-footballers. There was the hope of meeting a partner but they both agreed that needed to be organic, like YFN meeting Lucy by chance. They both admitted that social events were the best bet, and Jordan made YFN promise to wing-woman her which she accepted eagerly.

Together after an early lunch they got dressed for the game, both wearing their Bronze shirts. They drove to the stadium bantering and talking about what Jordan’s ‘type’ was, because obviously her wing-woman needed to know. Though, Jordan didn’t really know either and it was very much a ‘do you like this’, ‘what about when she does this’ conversation.

They met up with Lucy’s family before the game. Her mum seemed eager to meet her and it definitely confirmed that Lucy had spoken to her mum about her. Her mum seemed just as eager to make an impression on her as she did. Luckily, they clicked immediately. YFN thought she looked adorable in her blue England kit, she showed off Bronze and the number 2 to everybody with a proud acknowledgement of “that’s my Lucy.”

There was one strange moment as they were in the stadium, battling the crowd, as YFN was shoved hard into a wall by a girl wearing an England shirt. She was amongst her friends who all glared and muttered something but YFN couldn’t hear.

“You right mate?” Jordan asked, seeing what happened.

YFN nodded and shrugged. Football had the most passionate supporters she’d ever seen before.

They found their seats and YFN found herself sat bunched amongst the chaos of the Bronze family, Jordan by her side. They were overwhelming in the best possible way. They all cheered Lucy loudly as she was warming up. Although she was obviously in pain, the grin across her face was noticeable from the stands. The game began and Lucy was taking it carefully this time. More often than not, she passed the ball back instead of pushing forwards like last time. No one, however, could get past her. She defended aggressively. The player she was marking was also aggressive though and there was a lot of pushing and shoving. Lucy was frustrated and looked up a few times, her eyes finding YFN and her Australian flag in the crowd.

Just over 30 minutes in, Lucy saw a gap and went for it. The person marking her slammed into her very late, hitting her bad knee exactly the wrong way. Lucy went down, hard, knee in hand. The entire crowd was up screaming at the player. The red was shown immediately. Lucy’s face showed her obvious pain and YFN’s heart sunk as she watched. Her Lucy. If she wasn’t getting up, it must have been really bad.

One of the England players, Alex Greenwood, slammed into the player responsible, knocking her to the ground. She was yellow-carded as her teammates pulled her away. YFN recognised them as Millie Bright and Lauren Hemp breaking up the fight, pulling Alex away. Lucy forced her way to her feet to the roars of the crowd, but she could barely put weight on her knee. She tried and tried but eventually made the decision to leave. She shook her head, obviously mad and in incredible pain. The crowd seemed even more furious. All of them were yelling at the opposition player, some throwing things. Lucy limped straight off the field with the medical staff and into the tunnel without a glance up at her section. Regardless, the Bronze’s, Jordan and YFN all went to go see Lucy downstairs.

Lucy’s family weren’t in the room long before they left. Her mum was the last out with a knowing frown on her face. They all understood – Lucy needed to be alone with her emotions. YFN felt uneasy with the idea of leaving, though. She needed Lucy to know she was there.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll stay.” She said to Jordan and the Bronze’s.

They all seemed unsure, and as if they weren’t wanting to scare her away by telling her just how pissed Lucy was.

Lucy’s mum put a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t take anything she says to heart.. she’s very hard on herself and can be on others too when she’s upset.”

YFN put her hand on hers and nodded. “I’m just going to let her know I’m here.”

“We’ll see you back up top, mate.” Jordan said.

YFN entered the room to see Lucy laying on the bed, knee propped up and heavily iced. Her head was facing the other way, but she turned when she heard the door. Her expression was hard, eyebrows furrowed. She paused her words when she realised who it was, but then spoke.

“I can’t do this right now,” she said, harder than she would have liked.

“I know,” YFN replied gently. She didn’t need to talk. Lucy was smart and YFN knew she was already mulling everything over in her head, making them and her emotions all try to make sense. Words were the last thing she needed right now. But she was still Lucy, and she still needed to feel supported.

YFN took a seat in the corner of the room opposite Lucy and put her headphones in. She didn’t look at her, she knew that would add stress. She just needed her to know she was there. She curled up, pulling her knees to her chest and laid the side of her head on the chair, facing away from the footballer.

A while later the physio came into the room and started asking Lucy questions, touching around her knee. YFN let herself look and saw Lucy frustrated, jaw clenched, answering but almost grudgingly. The physio eventually left the room giving YFN a supportive smile on the way out. Did he know who she was?

10 minutes later, YFN again turned to look at Lucy and this time, she was also looking at her. The anger had downgraded to frustration and though she still didn’t look ready to talk, they’d made progress. YFN stood and walked towards Lucy who shifted uncomfortably. She still wasn’t ready, but YFN knew that. She laid on the medical bed next to her and closed her eyes. She knew Lucy was watching her. She could feel it. And she knew by being so close, it would soften her.

She was beautiful, and even better, she understood her. Lucy had let herself stare at her curled up in the corner of the room, lips moving as she softly mouthed the songs she listened to. She didn’t approach her, didn’t try to talk to her like her family who knew better. Only when Lucy had calmed a little had she wandered over, closer, which was exactly what she needed without realising it herself. Watching her chest rise and fall, her fingers tap on her stomach to the songs, she felt herself forgetting about her aching knee. Lucy needed her closer. She reached over and grabbed the bed, pulling, so it was flush up against Lucy’s. YFN had turned to look at her a little surprised and possibly also a little turned on at Lucy’s strength. She gave a little smile and they stared for a while, saying more words with their eyes than their mouths ever could. YFN reached out slowly and hooked her pinky around Lucy’s. God, that smile. God, this woman. It was just the perfect amount of support, the perfect amount of touch. Not too much, not too little.

Lucy went to open her mouth, struggling with words. YFN nodded, as if she had spoken them. Understanding what she was going to say.

Lucy felt her strong, angry barriers falling down further until she found herself with her head in YFN’s chest, crying. YFN was now sitting up between the beds, her arms holding Lucy tight, hand stroking her hair slowly. Lucy heard a door open at one point but didn’t look up. She felt YFN shake her head above her and the door closed. She whispered sweet nothings to her, telling her to let it out. She did. She calmed down after what seemed a long time. YFN felt her calming and kissed her forehead, one long and steady kiss.

Before the game was ended, YFN had spoken to Jordan and a few people from the England team who let her take Lucy out of there before the game was ended. She wanted them to avoid people. Jordan came down and although they didn’t speak to Lucy, she helped YFN half carry her down to the car, as well as her kit. She’d spoken to Sarina who knew Lucy needed some time. They would talk when she was ready.

It was YFN’s first time driving in the UK and she was nervous. Lucy’s hand on her thigh helped, and she supported her vocally as well. As they passed her turn off, Lucy told her that she missed it, amused. This was a good sign. YFN smiled at her for a second and told her they weren’t going home. She figured that would have been too depressing, to go home and wallow in pity. No, she had other plans.

They arrived at the beach when the sun was low. She suggested they could stay in the car for the sake of her knee, but Lucy refused. She could do it.

They first went to the café near the beach, getting take away. Lucy said she wasn’t hungry, but YFN knew her better than that and insisted. Food in hand, they wandered down to the little alcove where YFN had first met Jordan and sat in the sand. They talked while the sun was setting. Lucy realised after a while that she was indeed hungry, and her appetite increased as she ate. Condiments galore. YFN had a good little chuckle at this.

They watched the sunset together, enjoying each other’s company and holding each other when it began to get cold. Just after sunset, Lucy’s phone buzzed and she looked at it.

“Mum’s planning a family barbecue for tomorrow. Probably to cheer me up. Do you want to come?”

“Of course. I had a lot of fun with your family. They’re a little chaotic.”

“Yeah,” Lucy said, reading another message. “Sounds like my mum likes you a lot.”

Just then YFN’s phone also buzzed, and she looked at it. It was a notification from a stranger on Instagram. Looking at the profile picture, she’d recognised her from earlier when she’d shoved her at the stadium. How had she found her?

Kristie-Bronze: *Sent a photo*

The photo was of YFN helping Lucy into her car just hours before.

Physics or chemistry

Oh those have the best experiments. But you should probably perform them with a teacher, or even better they perform it entirely and you just watch.

Concerning chemistry, a popular experiment is called 'The Elephant's Toothpaste'. Stupid name, but it's still interesting. Hydrogen peroxide is rapidly decomposed into water and oxygen, causing the mixture to foam up very quickly, creating a foam tower that looks like 'toothpaste'. A catalyst is added, usually potassium iodide. But caution, the created foam is very hot because it's an exothermic reaction that released energy.

Another experiment that students usually like is the 'exploding gummybear'. But it's more dangerous, should be performed in a fume hood. It's based on a rapid exothermic reaction because the sugar in the gummy bear is oxidised, creating a combustion. This is achieved by heating potassium chlorate in a reaction tube, which releases oxygen, and if the gummy bear is then dropped into the reaction tube there is a ball of fire created.

And for physics you could drop an apple and examine gravity. Just kidding, for example there is the double slit experiment examining the wave and particle nature of light. Or anything with lasers or magnets is interesting.

Alone again, naturally - Satosugu fanfic

Student Gojo Satoru has a party to celebrate another victory on a class S curse. Everyone is invited but Geto Suguru decided to stay in his room.

They have been growing apart for a while now, and Suguru felt like everyone was leaving. Gojo coming in drunk to yell at him at 4AM did not arrange things.

——————————-

This is my first ever fanfiction and I did it in english without using translation! I’m sorry if there is any mistakes, be indulgent!

It was the middle of the night. Satoru was having a blast with a few of his classmates in his room. He alone defeated a Class S curse in less than 1 hour! “This is worth celebrating!!” he said loudly in every single classroom. He sneaked in alcohol and a cake from Shibuya, from the greatest bakery he found. Everyone knew his love for sweets, and before they could even take a second slice, he had eaten the whole cake. There were laughs, smiles, sparkly eyes, and drunk teenagers all tightly compressed in this small bedroom. Even the headmaster knew about it but decided not to do anything because: “Hell! A Class S in less than an hour!”

This was the best night for everyone except for Geto, who was trying to sleep next door. Trying was a big word, as he had been trying for months now. Big eye bags were marking his skin, and his usually tan skin was growing paler. When Gojo invited everyone, he invited him too, but he didn’t like how he did it. He treated him like a common school kid, not his best friend. He didn’t come up to him and say, between laughs and jokes, how great his party was going to be and how much he would like to see him there. No. It was just a brief glance in his direction and this smile, this stupid idiotic fake smile he used for the common people. He was part of the common people.

He did fewer missions than him; he was getting weak. Nobody knew the taste he had to endure each time he won a fight. When Gojo wins, he ends up with little to no bruises and the sweet taste of victory. When Geto wins? It’s the taste of vomit. It’s the taste of the mint toothpaste he frenetically brushes on his tongue to rid of. Usually, it was Gojo who brought sweets to the mission. Typical sweet tooth. Now that they did their missions separately, it was just the taste of trash. Of disgust.

After a few hours, the noise died down, finally. It was, what, 4 am? Gojo waved goodbye to the few friends leaving and told everyone it was okay; he didn’t want anyone to clean! After all, the strongest can take care of himself! He sat down on his bed with a dreamy smile as he looked at the cigarettes that were left on the cake box, and even the gift Nanami solemnly bought to encourage him to do better. There was no saying; he really was the best at everything, even making friends. Friends… friends… Someone was missing, though, right? Why didn’t Geto come? He frowned and started scratching his head. Geto was living literally next door; couldn’t he get up to say hi? What was up with this guy? He got up immediately and started pacing in his room, cleaning everything while thinking hard.

Was he upset that they weren’t on missions together? Sure, he could understand that, but he can’t do anything about it. He has to admit that it’s less fun without his best friend smiling at his stupid jokes and teasing Utahime with him each time he had to save her; and sure, he missed going to get crepes after the missions with him. Oh, and he missed sneaking outside in the center of town to go dance in some clubs… But he couldn’t do anything about it! He’s literally not at fault here! Geto was always waiting for Satoru to make the first move, to ask him to do something fun! But he is busy now, and Tokyo needs him. He needs to get even stronger than he is already, especially with what happened with… what was his name again… Toji Zenin. “I’m literally Batman…” He whispered with a chuckle.

Geto was sulking? Good for him! Maybe, in time, he will learn not to think everyone owes him. He got more and more angry as there was nothing to clean anymore. He was just sitting on his bed, still clothed, more than drunk, wide awake, and getting more and more angry with this whole situation. Oh, and hell. He’s going to speak about it to him. Right now.

Geto jumped when he heard his door being slammed open. He was ready to pull out a curse when he recognized the white hair and the sunglasses. He sighed, trying to calm down his fast-beating heart, and was about to ask what’s going on before he was cut off by a very drunk-sounding voice. “What the fuck is your problem, Suguru?” “I’m sorry?” “Don’t act so dumb. Why didn’t you come to congratulate me?”

As he was speaking, Gojo was walking closer to his bed. Well, walking was a great word; he was more like awkwardly putting a leg in front of the other. Geto was silent, muted by confusion. What was his deal?

“I was tired.”

It wasn’t really a lie.

“Yeah? Fuck this dude; you could have just waved hello.”

He sighed as he sat up on his bed. Gojo was standing in front of him, his arms standing straight against his slim body. There was the soft moonlight hitting his pale hair and skin, and making his eyes softly shine. He was pretty. It was annoying.

“Satoru, come on… you’re obviously drunk. Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”

“Nu-uh. Let’s talk now, or you’re going to run away next time.”

There was an awkward silence. Satoru sniffed and sat down on Geto’s desk chair. They were looking at each other like dogs about to jump at each other’s throat.

“Look, man-“ started Geto. “No, I talk first actually. I feel like ever since I became stronger than you, you’ve been acting all weird and jealous. You victimize yourself; you don’t even go on missions. What? What’s next? You’re gonna go on a hunger strike because Satoru Gojo is too busy actually being useful for the town? While your selfish attitude is making you stay in your room to smoke cigarettes?”

Geto frowned; he was genuinely hurt. His heart was about to explode from his chest out of anger and embarrassment.

“Are you implying the reason I don’t go to missions is because I’m jealous of you?”

He sat up, closing his fist really hard.

“You know nothing of me, Satoru, nothing. You don’t know what I’m living, what I’m thinking, and what I’m doing. Especially now that you’ve decided to become some egocentric prick that doesn’t even ask me how I’m doing when you see me.”

He rubbed his forehead with his thumb, obviously stressed and pissed off.

“You come into my room in the middle of the night, and you say I’m selfish all while you’re drunk. Do you not have an ounce of respect for me?”

Satoru opened his mouth, about to say something, but he got caught by a choke on air. He frowned his eyebrows and readjusted his sunglasses, getting up again and going on a drunk blabber.

“Fuck you, fuck you for thinking I owe you shit. I don’t owe shit to anyone. You think so highly of yourself; it’s so annoying. I don’t always have to hang out with you, shit! I don’t even have to talk to you. I can stop perceiving you if I want, and it’s my right! Stop thinking like you deserve a different treatment!”

His eyes widened at his words. First, his brain tried to smooth the situation, thinking he was drunk, there was no way he meant any of this. But his gut was burning, and it was only a matter of time until he suddenly got up and grabbed Gojo’s shirt by the neck. They stayed like this for a few seconds, which seemed to be hours. Geto’s eyes were burning by the tiredness but also by how painful the words were. Did he mean nothing to him anymore? Did he mean anything to anyone?

Gojo was looking at him with this shit-eating grin and sparkly eyes. His sunglasses fell on the floor, and for a moment, Geto could feel himself getting lost in his irises. They stayed the same, so blue, so bright, almost like they could glow in the dark. This is what hurt the most. Gojo became an entirely different person, but the eyes he loved oh, so much staring into were the same. A simple glimpse into those brought back so many unwanted memories in the space of a second, of them talking in bed late at night. Of them laughing together, spending time together alone, with no one else around them. Gojo’s blue eyes were the only thing that existed in these moments.

This sudden dive into memories pissed him off enormously.

So, without thinking, he threw a punch at his cheek. His eyes widened because it actually landed. Gojo still had his Infinity turned off even though he was arguing with him? Why?

When the white-haired boy fell on the floor, Suguru started stuttering some excuses, realizing he fucked up. But Satoru was starting to get up and gave him back the same punch this time straight in his ex-best friend’s nose. It drew out blood.

The next ten minutes were spent struggling on the floor while trying to fight. One was too drunk to effectively hit, and the other was too sad and tired to hit hard. It was just a pathetic twister party, filled with groans, gasps, and insults.

They played fight before, in the training field. “Just brutal force, no sorcerer abilities!” had stated Gojo. It was just something boys do, trying to prove who is the strongest, sometimes finishing with a nose bleed or a chapped lip. Their banter all while it happened was also some strong words, but in the end, it finished with whoever was on top to block the one on the bottom and making them admit they lost. It depended on the day of who was where. But now there wasn’t any technique of fighting, no laughs. It was just regret.

It ended eventually when Gojo felt something cold hitting his cheek. Geto, who was on top of him, had started crying, either out of regret or rage… or both. He wasn’t done, though, and still trying to pull at Gojo’s hair or hit him. Gojo, who still hadn’t activated his Infinity, stared at him with wide-open eyes. Eventually, Suguru stopped trying to fight, noticing Satoru wasn’t moving anymore, just staring at him. It all came crashing down on him, more tears escaping from his eyes. He truly was alone. Even his best friend hated him now; he considered him a weakling. He couldn’t even kill this… this monkey that shot Riko. He couldn’t do anything. He was such a loser.

Gojo managed to extract himself from underneath Geto’s legs. The other boy was too busy sobbing in his hands, anyway. There was a hint of guilt that washed over him. At least Geto was feeling bad for being so selfish? He thought. He must be tired… Come to think of it, he doesn’t eat much lately. Or come out of his room.

He stared at his friend with confused empathy and awkwardness, trying to reach him while wiping his bloody nose. He put a hand on the back of Geto’s head and brought him on his shoulder. The other boy resisted.

Suguru didn’t want any pity.

“I’m sorry,” Satoru awkwardly muttered before standing up the best he could. He picked his broken sunglasses from the floor and walked to the door.

Suguru looked at him leaving, trying to form the word “Stay..” but it didn’t. His pained expression turned into rage, as he held himself in a ball to calm himself down. Gojo was an asshole; he didn’t want to see any of him anymore. He hated him. He was the only one left, and he abandoned him over pride and success. He never wanted to see him again. He never wanted to see anyone again. Sorcerers were all full of shit.

He finished sobbing after ten minutes and climbed on his bed. He will stay there for a few days, sometimes going out to exorcise curses if asked to. All the time wishing this painful routine will end soon.

Perhaps… I am the only one that cares to know?

(talk the crazies, op ─ do it)

Okay.

I teach ECEs about oral health promotion for kids in their institutions in my second job. I was very grateful my colleague doing the other workshop tipped me off at lunch that one of the attendants said some wild things about the pineal gland. I was forewarned and looked up the pineal gland so I wouldn't confuse what it does with the pituitary gland (honestly not v relevant in my daily practice).

Looking it up told me not only that it makes melatonin and suppresses precocious puberty(though it's not completely understood how) and that philosophers in the enlightenment thought it must be the seat if the soul because it's a single organ roughly in the middle of your brain.

Armed with now being sure between the differences between the glands I went into the last workshop of the day prepared.

When she declined a pea of children's toothpaste I was playing dumb and innocently offered her a different flavour, which she declined too. Didn't go into it at that point, except to refute her claim that there was fluorine in toothpaste, it's fluoride.

At almost the end of the day we got to toothpaste. She was against that. I asked her if she was against oral health.

She: Well the pharmalobby is making us sick. Do you know about the pineal gland?

Me, with confidence: Yes. It makes melatonin and makes sure we don't go into puberty prematurely.

She: It does more than that, it's important for intuition and interpersonal relationships and more.

(How? It makes hormones and the ones that are important for bonding come from the pituitary not the pineal. That's a whole other gland!)

I let her talk.

She: Fluoride is bad for the pineal gland it calcifies it and makes it work less well. Everyone has a calcified pineal gland and that's why we don't have telepathic abilities. That's why I don't consume fluoride any more.

IMAGINE SAYING THAT TO A ROOM FULL OF STRANGERS. AND MEANING IT.

For a minute there I wanted to live in her world. All health is completely solvable and nobody would get sick if it weren't for the eEevil pharmalobby and since everyone is already poisoned we couldn't prove the existence of telepathic powers if we triedbut they're totally real and were stolen from us.

In reality the pineal gland calcifies in a lot of animals and it has no operational effects. If it were about toothpaste it would only calcify in humans.

I explained that fluoride is a mineral we need a small amount of to maintain our bones and if we truly have none we get ill, so I don't think she doesn't consume any fluoride. It's in mineral water and black tea and salt.

She: That's different, that's natural.

INTERNAL SCREAMING. I did not laugh out loud!

I explained to the class how fluoride in toothpaste helps your saliva remineralize your teeth more quickly and that you need two impulses a day to get the full benefit, which is why tablets that contain the whole daily amount are worse than toothpaste, and less effective if they are swallowed instead of slowly dissolved in your mouth. Toothpaste is the easiest and best way to get the full benefit.

She: You wanna know what I brush my teeth with? I brush my teeth with sugar!

Me: Birch Sugar?

She, possibly a little miffed that she didn't surprise me with that: Yes.

Me: That isn't sugar, it's Xylitol, it just tastes sweet. That works! It kills bacteria but it's expensive. What you don't get is the faster remineralisation but if you brush after every meal and don't have sugary snacks you could do it. I know very few people who can but they exist.

She: I've been doing it for twenty years and I have never had a problem.

I SUPPRESSED MY URGE TO ASK HER WHY SHE HAS SEVEN CROWNS THEN.

I explained that it's probably because she has lucky genes then. Some people have just won at the genetic lottery and don't get sick even if they eat junk food all day and never brush their teeth. They are a lucky few, just like the people who smoke heavily and still live to be nonagenarians who never got cancer. That does not mean the population at large can do it too. There are also unlucky people who have genes that make them extremely susceptible to disease and they have to do everything right every day in order to stay healthy. Most people are somewhere in the middle.

She: I have lots of friends who do it like that too and they are all healthy.

Me, smiling: Good for them! I am happy for your friends!

And that's where I left the topic.

The CONFIDENCE of that woman to 1) ask someone who studied medicine if they know what an organ of the body is. BITCH I BETTER KNOW THE BASICS OF THE BODY THAT IS TWO YEARS OF CLASSES ON MACRO AND MICRO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. And 2) assert that TELEPATHY!!!!! IS BEING SUPPRESSED BY BIG PHARMA TO CONTROL THE POPULATION and 3) assume that she knows stuff about oral health that a dental professional has never heard of.

4) That's natural, that's different. CHEMISTRY IS COMPULSORY HERE AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW SOMEONE CAN GO THROUGH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND BELIEVE THAT.

This was flat-earther levels of confidence.

12 Steps of Xmas - ch 9

Read it on Ao3

They went upstairs, and it was only once they’d made their way to what once was Carl’s bedroom and now was Leo’s bedroom that something dawned on the both of them. There was only one bed. It was something they both knew, matter-of-factly, but now that it came to function and tropes and stereotypes, they were reaching another step yet in reckoning that there was only one bed, and two of them—two men and the age gap between them, and their cultures and social classes and everything that could make the moment very awkward.

Leo acted cool and casual. He laughed. “Yeah, I hope you don’t mind sharing spaces. It’s not like it’s gay or what. I’ve slept with tons of people before—I mean, not in the sexual way—although sexually too, but also like, just sleeping without… Anyway.” He cleared his throat and shut up.

Hank slowly nodded, then nodded more vigorously. “Yeah, no, it’s no problem, same here. I mean, not sure about ‘tons of people.’ It wasn’t many. Had to surf on a colleague’s couch a few times when I got wasted at parties and slept with the other guys who were wasted. And also when things got rocky with my ex-wife,” he mumbled. “Had to sleep at Ben’s. He had only one bed.”

“And you managed not to have sex with all those hot policemen?” Leo asked with humor, to which they both laughed.

“They weren’t hot,” Hank said as they got into the bathroom to change for the night.

“You’re not into guys, huh?” Leo guessed, starting to undress.

Hank eyed him and got out of his pants. “I don’t know. I met my ex pretty early on, then I married her… and then we tried to have a kid, and it didn’t really work out the natural way, so we had to get in line for IVF…” His voice died out as he lifted his gaze from the clothes he’d folded to his best effort and saw that Leo had fully undressed and casually went to brush his teeth.

There, Leo tried to ask a question, but it came out as froofy fresh froth, so he had to spit first and say it again. “Did you have to try a lot?”

“With the IVF? No, it worked well actually—”

“I meant to get the IVF,” Leo specified. “Sometimes they want people to fuck a lot. I think it’s weird. How do they know if people do or don’t? It’s not like they can ask for a proof of how many fucks have been given, yeah?”

Hank squinted. “Uh, we didn’t have to… I mean, I guess we could have tried harder the natural way as well, but, eh. I’m more of a romantic than, huh.” He frowned, coming over the sink to see if there was a toothbrush he could borrow. “This is getting to be a weird discussion,” he mentioned.

“I don’t know, I always think it’s pretty interesting to get to know more about you,” Leo answered and wiped his mouth, then gestured at a toothbrush. “You can use the red one, it’s new. I thought I’d swap to that one but I never started to use it. I struggle with that kinda stuff sometimes, using new stuff, because then it’s not new anymore, and what if I run out of it before I can get my hands on a new one? Like it would be the end of the world somehow?” He laughed at himself and shook his head.

Hank gave him a comforting smile as he took the new toothbrush and the tube of toothpaste. “I think you’re alright. A bit messed up, but a bit of chaos is needed to be alive.”

Can Your Toothpaste Damage Your Teeth?

Brush your teeth at least twice a day is a lesson we've learned since we were kids. It seems very easy, doesn't it? But how can you choose the best toothpaste when there are so many options available? Do any have the potential to harm your teeth?

Some toothpaste chemicals that are designed to improve dental health can actually be harmful, but only if a few easy rules are broken. For instance, toothpaste's abrasive qualities help to eliminate plaque, which can eventually cause rotting. However, overly abrasive toothpaste may harm your enamel. Fluoride, which helps prevent cavities, is rarely harmful, but you should watch how much of it your young children consume if you have them. If they consume too much, they might have cosmetic problems with their teeth or even become poisonous if they swallow too much. However, it is simple to avoid such issues.

Abrasiveness

When buying toothpaste, check the box for the relative dentin abrasion (RDA) value, which indicates how abrasive the product is. By removing plaque and stains, abrasives aid in the prevention of issues like cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. It is safe to use if the RDA is less than 250. A more abrasive toothpaste can be too harsh for your teeth, potentially damaging the enamel.

Because they contain some chemicals that are absent from conventional toothpastes, whitening toothpastes may be much more abrasive than they already are. Purchasing teeth whiteners with the ADA (American Dental Association) Seal of Acceptance ensures that the item you've selected satisfies their safety and efficacy standards.

Allergies

Canker sores, ulcers, a rash, redness, and swelling in the mouth area as well as on the tongue are just a few of the reactions that some toothpaste ingredients can cause. This is frequently brought on by the flavoring in toothpaste, such as cinnamon, peppermint, or spearmint, or by irritants like citric acid and other chemicals. A natural toothpaste or one with different flavors, like orange, strawberry, or grape, may be suggested by your dentist.

fluoride and children

Both the ADA and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend fluoride to prevent tooth decay in children ages 2 and older. Children who use fluoride toothpaste before this age are at risk of dental enamel fluorosis, a condition in which white lines and streaks appear on the teeth before they can penetrate the gums. disease risk disappears.

In rare cases, swallowing too much toothpaste can be harmful to children, so only put a pea-sized amount on the toothbrush. Always check with your child's doctor or dentist before offering monster toothpaste. Also, remember to supervise your child as they brush their teeth and spit out excess toothpaste into the sink.

Fluoride Toothpaste for Kids: What Parents Need to Know

As a parent, safeguarding your child’s dental health is crucial. One of the most common questions parents have is whether it’s safe for kids and toddlers to use fluoride toothpaste. While fluoride is a key ingredient in preventing cavities and strengthening teeth, there are guidelines to follow when introducing it to your child's oral care routine. To help you make an informed decision, it’s important to understand how fluoride works, when it’s appropriate for children, and how a pediatric dentist El Paso can guide you through this process.

What is Fluoride and Why is it Important?

Fluoride is a natural mineral found in water and many foods. It’s well known for its ability to strengthen enamel, which is the outer layer of teeth. By reinforcing enamel, fluoride helps prevent cavities and tooth decay, which is especially important for children as their teeth are still developing.

For optimal dental health, most experts, including the American Dental Association (ADA), recommend using fluoride toothpaste to protect both baby teeth and adult teeth. A dentist El Paso will often advise parents to introduce fluoride toothpaste early on to reduce the risk of cavities and ensure healthy dental development.

When Can Children Start Using Fluoride Toothpaste?

The ADA recommends that children can start using fluoride toothpaste as soon as their first tooth appears, which is typically around six months of age. However, the amount of fluoride toothpaste used should be minimal—a grain-of-rice-sized smear for toddlers under three years old. This helps minimize the risk of swallowing too much fluoride, which can lead to a condition called fluorosis, resulting in mild discoloration of teeth.

For children aged three to six, the recommended amount is a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste. Parents should supervise brushing at this stage to ensure kids are spitting out the toothpaste rather than swallowing it.

The Role of a Pediatric Dentist

A pediatric dentist plays an important role in helping parents navigate their child’s dental care. Regular visits to a pediatric dentist will allow for proper monitoring of your child’s oral health and the appropriate use of fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist can recommend the best toothpaste for your child’s age and needs, as well as provide guidance on brushing techniques.

Additionally, pediatric dentists often apply fluoride treatments during routine dental checkups. These treatments, which use a more concentrated form of fluoride than what’s found in toothpaste, provide extra protection against cavities and tooth decay.

Benefits of Fluoride Toothpaste for Kids

Cavity Prevention: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay caused by sugars and bacteria.

Healthy Development: Fluoride toothpaste helps protect both baby teeth and newly emerging permanent teeth, ensuring a smooth transition as your child’s mouth grows.

Cost-Effective Care: Using fluoride toothpaste is an affordable way to reduce the risk of costly dental issues later on.

Are There Any Risks?

When used properly, fluoride toothpaste is safe and beneficial for children. However, overexposure to fluoride—often from swallowing toothpaste—can lead to fluorosis. This typically results in mild white spots on the teeth, but in severe cases, it can cause more noticeable discoloration. This is why it's important to supervise young children while brushing and ensure they use the correct amount of toothpaste.

An El Paso dentist can assess your child’s risk of developing fluorosis and adjust their fluoride intake accordingly. They may recommend fluoride-free toothpaste in certain cases if there’s concern about overexposure, especially if your child is getting fluoride from other sources like water or supplements.

Conclusion

Fluoride toothpaste is a valuable tool in protecting your child's teeth from decay and cavities. By following the recommended guidelines for fluoride use, you can help ensure your child’s oral health stays on track as they grow. Remember, regular visits to Cielo Dental & Orthodontics are key to maintaining your child’s dental health and receiving personalized advice tailored to their needs. If you’re unsure about when or how to introduce fluoride toothpaste to your child.

Toothpaste Slogan Inspiration: 5 Examples That Stand Out

Do you believe a well-crafted slogan can truly set a brand apart in the competitive oral care market? Consider the impact of memorable phrases such as Colgate's "Cavity Protection Promise" and Crest's "Healthy Smile Guarantee" on customer trust. Effective slogans can indeed play a significant role in building brand loyalty. However, what makes a slogan truly stand out, and how can toothpaste brands leverage this powerful marketing tool to capture your attention? Let's explore five exemplary slogans that have achieved this and discover what makes them so effective.

Colgate's Cavity Protection Promise

One of the most recognizable promises in oral care is Colgate's "Cavity Protection Promise." When you're choosing a toothpaste, you want to know it's going to deliver on its claims - and Colgate's been saying it can prevent cavities for decades. This promise isn't just a claim; it's a promise that has been backed by science and trusted by millions. If you're looking to create a similar promise for your brand, consider using a slogan generator site like Slogan Generator Pro. This site creates unique, catchy slogans tailored to your needs, helping you effectively convey your message. With a promise like Colgate's, you can build trust with your customers and establish your brand as a leader in the oral care industry.

Crest's Healthy Smile Guarantee

As you aim for a healthy, vibrant smile, you're likely drawn to brands that not only promise results but also guarantee them. Crest's Healthy Smile Guarantee is a perfect example of this. By offering a satisfaction guarantee, Crest instills trust in its customers, making them more likely to choose their products. This approach is particularly effective as it addresses the concerns of customers who have tried various toothpastes without achieving the desired results. The guarantee also reflects Crest's confidence in their products, which can positively impact customer perception. By incorporating this strategy into your marketing approach, you can establish a strong connection with your customers and set your brand apart from competitors.

Sensodyne's Rapid Relief Slogan

If you're among the millions struggling with tooth sensitivity, you're likely no stranger to the promise of rapid relief. Sensodyne's slogan effectively taps into this need, positioning itself as a go-to solution for sensitive teeth. "Relieve Tooth Sensitivity Rapidly" or "Get Rapid Relief" are simple yet powerful phrases that resonate with its target audience. By using words like "rapid" and "relieve," Sensodyne creates a sense of urgency, implying that its product can provide quick and effective results. This approach not only grabs attention but also instills trust in potential customers. As you consider your own toothpaste slogan, take a cue from Sensodyne's straightforward yet impactful approach.

Aquafresh's Kids Oral Health

Your child's healthy smile is a top priority, and when it comes to kids' oral health, you want the best. That's why Aquafresh's toothpaste is a top choice for many parents. Their slogan, "The cavity fighter for a healthy smile," effectively communicates their unique selling proposition. By positioning their product as a powerful tool in the fight against cavities, Aquafresh instills trust in parents who want to protect their child's teeth. By using a fun, colorful branding and a friendly mascot, Aquafresh also makes oral care engaging and accessible for kids. This winning combination has helped Aquafresh become a household name and a staple in many families' oral care routines.

Tom's Natural Toothpaste Approach

While many parents trust brands like Aquafresh to protect their child's teeth, you're looking for a more natural approach to oral care. Tom's of Maine offers a revitalizing alternative, with a focus on organic ingredients and sustainable practices. You can trust that their toothpaste is free from artificial sweeteners, colors, and preservatives. Tom's slogan "Nature. Inspired." reflects their commitment to using natural ingredients that work in harmony with your body.

Conclusion

You've seen how top toothpaste brands make their mark with memorable slogans. As the saying goes, "actions speak louder than words," but in this case, it's the words that drive action. Colgate, Crest, Sensodyne, Aquafresh, and Tom's of Maine show that a catchy phrase can be the key to releasing customer trust and loyalty. Now it's your turn - craft a slogan that resonates with your audience and sets your brand apart in the oral care industry.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Soft Toothbrush for Kids.

When it comes to maintaining your child’s oral health, selecting the right toothbrush is crucial. One of the top choices for young smiles is a soft toothbrush for kids. But what makes a soft toothbrush the ideal option, and how do you choose the best one for your child? In this guide, we'll explore why a soft toothbrush is essential, what features to look for, and how it can enhance your child's dental routine.

Why a Soft Toothbrush for Kids is Essential

Children's teeth and gums are delicate and require gentle care. A soft toothbrush for kids is designed specifically to clean teeth without causing discomfort or damage. Unlike medium or hard-bristled brushes, soft bristles are less abrasive, making them suitable for young, sensitive mouths. They effectively remove plaque and food particles without irritating the gums or enamel.

Moreover, a soft toothbrush is recommended by pediatric dentists because it minimizes the risk of gum recession and enamel wear. As children are still developing their brushing technique, a softer brush helps ensure they clean their teeth properly without harsh scrubbing.

Key Features of the Best Soft Toothbrush for Kids

When selecting a soft toothbrush for your child, consider the following features to ensure you choose the best one:

1. Soft Bristles: The primary feature of a soft toothbrush is its bristles. Opt for brushes with soft, rounded bristles that can clean effectively while being gentle on sensitive gums and enamel.

2. Comfortable Grip: A toothbrush with an ergonomic handle is essential for young children. Look for a brush with a non-slip grip and a handle that is easy for small hands to hold. This makes brushing easier and more enjoyable for kids.

3. Fun Designs: A toothbrush that features colorful designs, favorite cartoon characters, or fun patterns can make brushing time more exciting. When children enjoy their toothbrush, they are more likely to brush regularly and for the recommended amount of time.

4. Size and Shape: The size and shape of the toothbrush head should be suitable for your child's mouth. A smaller head with a compact shape is ideal for reaching all areas of the mouth, including the back teeth, without causing discomfort.

5. Durability: Choose a toothbrush that is durable and can withstand daily use. High-quality materials ensure that the bristles do not fray quickly and that the brush remains effective over time.

How to Use a Soft Toothbrush for Kids Effectively

Even with the best toothbrush, proper brushing technique is key to maintaining good oral health. Here are some tips to help your child use their soft toothbrush effectively:

1. Supervise Brushing: Young children may need guidance to develop a good brushing routine. Supervise your child to ensure they are brushing all surfaces of their teeth and using gentle, circular motions.

2. Use the Right Amount of Toothpaste: Apply a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste to the toothbrush. Too much toothpaste can cause excessive foaming, which might make brushing less enjoyable for kids.

3. Encourage a Two-Minute Routine: Teach your child to brush for at least two minutes, twice a day. Use a timer or play a short song to help them keep track of the time.

4. Replace Regularly: Replace your child’s toothbrush every three to four months or sooner if the bristles become frayed. An old toothbrush is less effective at cleaning and may harbor bacteria.

Benefits of a Soft Toothbrush for Kids

Choosing a soft toothbrush for your child comes with numerous benefits:

1. Gentle on Gums: Soft bristles reduce the risk of gum irritation and damage, promoting healthier gums and reducing the likelihood of gum disease.

2. Effective Cleaning: Despite their gentle nature, soft bristles are effective at cleaning teeth and removing plaque. They reach into small crevices and clean thoroughly without causing harm.

3. Comfort and Convenience: A soft toothbrush is more comfortable for children, making the brushing experience less stressful and more pleasant. This comfort can encourage consistent brushing habits.

4. Improved Oral Health: Regular use of a soft toothbrush contributes to better oral health by preventing plaque buildup and maintaining clean teeth and gums.

Conclusion

Choosing the right toothbrush is a fundamental step in ensuring your child’s oral health. A soft toothbrush for kids offers the perfect balance of gentle care and effective cleaning. By selecting a toothbrush with the right features and teaching your child proper brushing techniques, you can set them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles.

What is Oral Surgery O’Fallon for Kids Like?

Teeth are one of the first things people notice about us. The importance of a good set of teeth is further amplified for young children because they are still growing - so their oral condition is completely tied up with their personality and self-esteem. But in case your child has cavities or uneven teeth, there is absolutely no need to worry! In general, here is what oral surgery O'Fallon is likely to involve for your child.

Oral Surgery is Different for Kids - Here's How

It is believed that the subjective experience of a surgery is foundational to the recovery. This is why surgery for children involves several steps that are handed differently compared to adult sessions.

1. Growth and Development Considerations

Certain surgeries like baby teeth pulling and Invisalign setup are best started in childhood so that the full potential can be unleashed by the age of 18.

However, certain other procedures like enamel caps and dentures are not given to children until they reach a certain age because there are chances that new teeth will grow and fill up the deficiency naturally.

So, we can see how it is important to consider growth and development when choosing whether or not oral surgery will help your child.

2. Behavioral Management

Toddlers and young children can get scared when they see blood. Such experiences, if not managed well, can lead to behavior problems.

Even with the best dental veneers service O'Fallon, some children can experience sensory issues, which have more to do with their personal neurocognitive development rather than something wrong with the procedure itself. 

However, both the dentist and the family need to take these complaints seriously and do everything possible to fix the issue. From microscopic changes in alignment to big procedures like root canals O'Fallon, there are several ways to minimize behavioral discomfort among youngsters.

3. Post-Operative Care

Every O'Fallon dentist takes extra care to make the recovery process as anxiety-free as possible. For children, this involves the active participation of the whole family and can involve setting up new rules or dietary changes without causing feelings of isolation or anxiety in the child. 

Some of these - recommended commonly are:

Eating soft foods and liquids for a few weeks.

Using ice packs for swelling - the child might resist initially but parents must turn into a habit.

Taking prescribed medications properly and coming in for regular checkups.

Keeping the surgical area clean using toothpaste, mouthwash and eventually floss.

Avoiding physical activity and rough play for a while.

4. Communication and Explanation

The way children understand things is drastically different from us adults. Depending on the age, they might need concrete examples and gentle encouragement to view surgery in a positive light. They might not be able to understand abstract pros and cons, either. 

A dentist working with youngsters must have a respectful and expressive way of communication. On top of that, they will have to display proper engagement skills to keep the young ones busy before and after the surgery.

Last Words 

Professional initiatives can help with endless complexities (for eg. removing painful teeth is all about helping new teeth grow properly and align like they should). All this makes it easier for kids to eat, speak, and smile. Likewise, your kid can experience healthy dental growth in the future and practice proper management techniques for the rest of their teeth.

The vital Role Of Fluoride In Children's Oral Health

 Oral health in children refers to the total health and well-being of their teeth, gums, and mouth. It includes a variety of activities and habits aimed at improving dental hygiene, preventing dental illnesses, and guaranteeing optimal oral development from infancy to adolescence. Children's dental health is critical to their general health and quality of life since oral health issues can impair their ability to eat, communicate, and socialize comfortably. Key components of children's oral health include. Wassan Dental Clinic is the Best Dental Clinic in Muscat, Oman. ln order to improve children's oral health fluoride is a must.

What is fluoride?

Fluoride is an essential component of children's oral health, reinforcing their teeth against decay and maintaining overall dental well-being. Its relevance stems from its capacity to thicken tooth enamel, the tooth's protective outer layer, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and carbohydrates in the mouth. Fluoride works as a shield, preventing cavities and dental deterioration, which is especially common in youngsters. Furthermore, fluoride promotes remineralization by restoring weaker enamel patches before cavities form. This preventive strategy not only lowers the incidence of cavities, but it also promotes healthy tooth development during important developmental phases, resulting in the construction of strong enamel that lasts a lifetime. Fluoride, which is easily accessible through fluoride toothpaste, fluoridated water, and professional treatments, is a safe, cost-effective, and universally recommended strategy in the fight against tooth decay. Dental practitioners promote its use, arguing for its inclusion in children's dental hygiene routines and emphasizing its importance in promoting healthy smiles from an early age. By including fluoride in children's oral care, we set the way for a future generation of bright, resilient smiles and healthy dental health.

The chemical compound fluoride is made up of the element fluorine. It is frequently found in the natural world, particularly in minerals and water sources like lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Fluoride is frequently added to toothpaste, mouth rinses, and municipal water supplies in some locations as a public health intervention since it is well-known for its ability to prevent tooth decay and reinforce tooth enamel.

Fluoride strengthens dental enamel by remineralizing it, which increases its resistance to acidic oral sweets and plaque microorganisms. This promotes dental health and the avoidance of cavities. On the other hand, dental fluorosis, which is marked by white spots or streaks on the teeth, can result from consuming too much fluoride. Skeletal fluorosis is a dangerous bone condition that can also result from consuming excessive amounts of fluoride over time.

Can fluoride protect children's teeth?

Yes, fluoride has a major role to play in keeping kids' teeth healthy. Fluoride helps stop cavities from forming by fortifying tooth enamel and increasing its resistance to acid assaults from carbohydrates and bacteria. Enriching a child's oral hygiene regimen with fluoridated toothpaste, mouth rinses, or professional dental treatments can make a big difference in their overall oral health. To prevent any negative consequences such as dental fluorosis, fluoride products must be used appropriately and sparingly. Fluoride may be an effective weapon in protecting children's dental health and encouraging lifelong oral hygiene practices when used under the right supervision and direction from parents and dentists.

To summarize, fluoride is important for children's oral health because it strengthens tooth enamel, prevents tooth decay, promotes healthy tooth development, and supports lifelong dental wellness. Incorporating fluoride into a child's oral hygiene routine, as well as providing access to fluoridated water and dental care, are critical measures in protecting children's dental health and avoiding future dental disorders. Wassan Dental Clinic offers the best Child Dentistry in Muscat, Oman and we take the initiative to protect children's oral health.
