Snippet from chapter 2 of my WIP SatoSugu Fix-it fic.
Context: Absorbing a powerful curse during a mission triggers a repressed memory from the depths of childhood.

Saw this post and thought we could make it a game of sharing our favourite lines we have written.
To kick it off, I'm putting my most favourite line from my recent fic (I'm very proud of this particular one):
âCome here,â he purrs and for the first time Kenjaku notices how soft his voice is; he understands how Suguru Geto must have sounded when he was being tender.Â

#19.3 Unravel
It had been some time since Agni felt this nervous. Not even talking with Jinsung Ha recently had made him feel like this. He fiddled with the mask on his hand as he waited for Grace to come back. He had thought hard on how to deliver the news, but he knew that no matter how he phrased it, Grace would be upset. Velt nuzzled under his palm and Agni gave her a few pats, before deciding that she would be better inside her bowl in his lighthouse, just in case the shinsu acted up around Grace after he received the news.
Grace came back wearing the comfiest shirt and shorts Agni knew Grace liked to wear on lazy days. He joined him on the floor, and they ate dinner together. Agni always finished last, so while waiting for him to finish his meal, Grace told him about his day with Bam. Grace was intrigued by how much his way of thinking had changed, and how glad he was to be able to be by Bam's side when he was having a bad day. It reminded Agni of the hidden floor, when Grace faced his sworn enemy.
They left the used bowls on the coffee table and went to brush their teeth. Afterwards, they turned off the light and went upstairs to sit on their bed. Grace's curious gaze never left him, and Agni curled his feet nervously.
Grace was the one who broke the silence. "SoâŠwhat is it?"
Agni's breath hitched. This was the part he dreaded most. "I talked with the crocodile earlier. Did you know that he could manipulate stone already?"
"Huh." Grace needed a few seconds to let the information sink in. "Didn't Rak learn it on the Hell train? How does he know it?"
"Turns out our crocodile also traveled back to the past like us. He found the young crocodile and taught him."
"What?!" Grace gasped, wide eyed. "That means our Rak isâ!!"
"He's dead." Agni quickly snuffed out that hope. They had been in delusion for long enough; it was time that they faced the bitter truth. "He suffered a fatal injury from the explosion. He couldn't have lasted long without proper help." Agni omitted the actual cause for Rak's death, but still kept his words true. "I'm sorry."
"âŠOh." Grace looked lost, just like Agni was. His lips parted a little, but they closed before any sound escaped.
Agni gently squeezed Grace's hand, encouraging and comforting as he let the silence stretch on, giving Grace some time to process the information.
"AgniâŠ" Grace whispered, "do you think Hatz and IsuâŠ?"
Agni bit his lip and avoided his gaze, as the nightmare of that day replayed in his mind. He witnessed Hatz get his arm ripped off when trying to protect him. He could still recall the clang of a sword hitting the floor, and Hatz's suppressed scream that gnawed deep at his guilt. He witnessed Isu get beheaded after being taken hostage, the memory of warm blood painting them both still vivid like it happened yesterday.Â
Agni refused to acknowledge their possible deaths, because it felt like a nightmare that one day he could hopefully wake up from. He avoided the topic when Grace brought it up, so he wouldn't have to say it aloud and make it real. He had been so hard on himself, because he couldn't get rid of the feeling that he had failed Grace and everyone else involved.
Agni knew this had to change if he wanted to live better, now that they had gotten a second chance. So he swallowed down the lump in his throat that had built up over the years and asked mostly to himself; "What are the odds of their survival?"
"There's always a chanceâ"
"Grace." Agni looked him straight in the eye. "They were already severely injured before the explosion hit."
Grace fell silent and went still.
Agni felt a pang of guilt upon witnessing Grace's reaction. "Sorry. I didn't mean to snap." Agni fiddled with his hands. He realized that he didn't know how much Grace knew of what happened. "My scarâŠdo you know how I got it?"
"IâŠwas told it was from the family heads' battle." Grace looked thoughtful. Agni knew he was trying to be careful with his words. "A stray attack?"
"It could have been worse." The memory of the scorching heat on his skin felt like it had only happened yesterday. He passed out right when he was about to heal Isu, and only found out later that he also lost sweetfish at that time. The days he spent recovering from the burn, to withstand the excruciating pain every second he was conscious, and finally coming to terms that it'd be a permanent scar, was one of the turning points that had changed him forever. Were Grace not there to care for him, he might have ended up destroying himself even more.
Agni hadn't realized he had his left hand clawing on his cheek until Grace pried his hand off and frowned, "You're doing it again."
"Maybe I should wear the maskâŠ" Agni muttered to himself. After all, Grace gave it to him less so he could hide the scar but more to prevent him from unconsciously hurting himself. The only time he could safely take it off was when Grace was around.
Agni bit his lip nervously when Grace didn't reply. He no longer had the courage to look Grace in the eye that spoke so much concern, so he leaned close and rested his head on Grace's chest. "Rak, Isu, Hatz and Hwaryun were trying to get me out of that damned place. But we were caught while escaping, andâŠit was a bloodbath. I wasâŠtoo occupied to react to the incoming heat. Rak shielded us from the explosion. And when I woke upâŠ"
"They werenât with you," Grace finished it for him after Agni trailed off a moment too long.
Agni nodded dazedly, "I've been telling myself that they're still alive, after a blow that could kill rankers. ButâŠwho am I kidding? I was lucky enough to survive with just this littleâ" Agni vaguely pointed to himselfâ "inconvenience."
Agni felt a hand gripping his arm, and he pulled away to see Grace looking at him with a pained expression. His eyes were glossy and his lips were pulled into a thin line. Trusting his instinct, Agni reached out to gently trace and cup Grace's cheek with his free hand.
"I'm sorry," Agni muttered. "I'm sorry, for not telling you sooner."
Agni silently witnessed tears that streamed down on his love's face. It was a bitter sight that Agni wished he'd never have to see again, that he had tried to avoid for so long by not telling him. He pulled Grace in and held him close to his chest, as if Agni was trying to gather his own crumbled heart back together.

Grace mumbled their late best friends' names as he held onto him tighter, shaking from each breath he took between sniffles.
Agni felt his own eyes sting with unshed tears. He remembered the years he spent climbing the tower together with his old team. Despite their banter being his source of headaches, Agni knew he too had come to acknowledge them as his cherished friends. Only when they were gone did Agni realize how much he'd miss having them around. Seeing the younger them didn't exactly close the gaping hole in his heart, but at least the emptiness was more filled.
Agni squeezed Grace tighter. "We have their younger selves with us now. We will protect them better this time."
Grace only nodded and sank further into his embrace. And Agni planted kisses on his hair, relishing the thought that after everything he had gone through, Grace was still a constant in his life. As long as he had him, everything would be okay.
When Grace started shaking again, Agni caressed his hair and hummed a comfort song they had known by heart. Still, it didn't make falling asleep any easier for Agni, especially not after admitting that his nightmare was very much real. However, as he had been through griefâŠthis, too, would pass.

mmm.. i'm pretty sure i need visual aids when I read bc this is how it looks when i try to imagine what's going on in the fic
^^^^ the original photo ^^^^
vvvv how i see it when i try to visualise it vvvv
the image will be clear in my head for less than a second, but for the rest of the time, the second image is how it looks in my head.
it's the same for voices. if i hear clips of the VA/reg actor speaking then i'll be able to hear them very vaguely at the back of my head when reading. this is only really frustrating when a fic keeps pointing out characters having different accents and i cant keep it up. Either everyone sound like their from New Jersey or they sound like they're from the UK (ik im generalizing but *shrug* i dunno specific accents), or in my original accent (which is distinctly No Sabo Kid Spanglish.)
#google says it's called aphantasia#what it is is a pain in the neck#i have to draw out seating arrangements#intimate poses like hugs via piggy back or some oddly described grip needs refs.#sometimes the embedded image doesnt even show up#character extremities are always akimbo and its fucking hard#why yes i would like to see the fic you've set aside in the series for fanart#yes i would like to see the behind-the-scenes scrambling for ideas and your own personal ref/art#you have a playlist and a mood board?!#a pinterest board specifically for your fic with no missing images?!#maybe you were being sarcastic when you included the HEX code for character B's eyes but i really appreciated seeing the exact color#what is sky blue? at what time? what weather? bluebells are multiple colors. so are many gems.#there are like three mustards#whats the difference between navy muted and royal?#wHICH greEn is the AVADA kADAVRA?!#what do you mean when you say amber? whiskey is like 2 colors. beta gold is about a shade off from brown eyes under direct sunlight#disney villain green is closer but do you mean ursula green or dr facilier green? yes they are different.#what the f is the difference between velvet and suede#pls pls pls give me hex codes in the notes or something pls#and the specific 'long hair' and 'top bun's you keep making these characters have#i don't know what wizarding robes look like and when i look it up there are so many different answers#pls tell me the skin color u are using for ur version of this character (is danny arabic? is harry indian? is percy polynesian? all white?)

changing every single lightsaber color in every star wars game Iâm playing away from blue as soon as I possibly can: Iâm so normal about this
#i donât love kotorâs yellow shade but the only other option for the double bladed was blue and I was like NO#idk why it took me until the second Zeffo trip to remember I have other options than blue to start#i think because Iâm playing fallen order on the Xbox so itâs my first time through and I donât have the maxed out colors#you get from completing it#anyway I am playing two different Star Wars games and no one has a blue lightsaber and I am pleased đ#(if you missed this which mostly happened in fic notes this is a weird petty hill Iâve chosen to die on#too many people have blue lightsabers and canon has a weird habit of changing characters lightsabers to blue between sequels/mediums#and this is the petty hill I did on to keep me from caring about actually divisive things#because everyone needs one and Iâve chosen this one)

I know I've already spoken a lot after @fulcrum-art-fox 's post (and by going on a tangent, too, I'm still sorry for that), but my mind remains stuck on Jillian (oops!) so here goes a bit more chaotic blabbering to go with what came earlier.
See, yes, there's a parallel between Jillian and the Holy Mother (and I had already touched upon it here and here as well), but what made me stop and think a little more was a passage I read recently in the Jansons' The picture history of painting:
"The Byzantine artist did not think of the Madonna as being at all like an ordinary, human mother. To him she was the Queen of Heaven, far removed from everyday life and beautiful beyond any man's imagination. And he has painted her the way he felt about her: not as a woman of flesh and blood but an ideal figure bathed in the golden light of heaven."
What stands out to me here is less the actual piece being examined (this, if you're curious) but the idea of being removed from everyday life, of being distant from the common people, being an ideal figure who isn't made of flesh and blood.
That's exactly what Jillian more or less sets out to do in s1 through the image she presents to the world.
But, contrary to the Madonna being painted by an artist following what the latter might feel about her, Jillian, the budding demiurge, creates this image for herself. The whites, the blue, the theatre of it all wouldn't be lost on a woman as intelligent as she is; her pregnancy was "a medical marvel", now she opens up the "world's first quantum portal"... Ava says doctor Salvius creates superpowers on the daily, but these feats could be seen as miracles... No wonder cardinal Duretti is invited to witness Jillian's triumph.
As this miracle-maker, this special specimen above the rest of humanity, there must be a (fabricated) distance in her dealings with people. She singles herself out when presenting her creation or revealing the footage of Beatrice destroying her security, she stands out from the crowd more as a pale, fearsome marble statue than as a normal human woman.
And, so distanced from others, she barely ever touches anyone else (barring Michael, of course) apart from a very light, almost reluctant tap to a subordinate's shoulder or a grip on Ava that is less about Ava herself and more about what advantages connecting her to the ark might ultimately present. Her touching Lilith for her temperature is likewise less about Lilith's well-being and more about Jillian's own plans for her, a touch with underlying, secret intent.
It's almost as if touch is repulsive to her regarding these other persons, a risk to her carefully curated image, whereas her contact with Michael is affectionate and genuine, unrestrained by the "sainthood" of the genius given how it happens far from the public eye, from anyone she might want/need to impress, amaze or enthrall.
I had talked about the femininity of s1 Jillian as it helps her pull on a show, but there's something about her specific brand of it that is icy, that pushes people away. All that white, that immaculate appearance as if to dare others to try soiling it; where the Virgin Mary is a loving mother to be adored, Jillian Salvius concocts the persona of a terrifying creature not to be provoked, bathed not "in the golden light of heaven" but in the blue light of relentless scientific ambition.


We already know this facade comes crumbling down by s2, but what's interesting is that, as @fulcrum-art-fox's post points out, the consequences of this comparison to the Holy Mother persist. Jillian is no longer bedecked in blue and white, but she pays the price paid by Mary, unable to take action in order to protect her son from what befalls him.
Suddenly, this woman who constructed her own intangibility, her own sort of "divinity" by not being available to be touched by others, finds herself in isolation in a way she had not predicted -- set apart even when she might not want to be, kept away from her own son and from those others which at first she had so carefully kept at bay.
Which again might inspire us to wonder whether any of this is punishment for her presumption. Did she want to create miracles, stand above the lot of common mortals? Well, here are the consequences: you do not play at being the holy mother without the suffering that comes with it.
Maybe it's the blasphemy of it -- or maybe it's just the result of a very human arrogance which she has every opportunity to regret.
I had mentioned before how all of these ties between Jillian and the Virgin actually enforce themes of Michael standing for a redeemer -- the story of Mary is pretty much the story of Jesus. However, the story of Jillian can hardly be expected to be the story of Michael alone in a show that is so thoughtful regarding its female characters, so the future of WN must have something intriguing in store for her. If her role as Michael's mother has ended, her newfound connection to the OCS surely points at a new path for doctor Salvius.
Her relationship to touch alone is already different; if season one saw her wary of it, even protected from it, season two has her actually be touched by someone else, breaking through her "godly" defences. Lilith threatens her, Kristian appeals to her in what is a repulsive action, asking her to overlook what was done to herself and to her son in favour of Adriel's so-called revelations. Whatever walls she had built around herself are revealed as the illusions they truly are as they no longer shield her from others.
But there are two other instances of touch we can't ignore, moments that draw her into something different; not aggression, not cynical beseeching, but something else: we are given a desperation on Jillian's part and a rare, perhaps much-needed support on Mother Superion's. These are new, authentic moments of connection that also shatter the barriers her previous persona had erected and they hint at the possibility of novel dynamics. Jillian is no longer isolated as per her own design, but approaching someone else, being welcomed in turn, yanked painfully down from her self-created pedestal to walk the Earth as a mortal woman and no longer as a white, unblemished icon.
With Michael gone (if so he remains), Jillian might be freed of the ties to the Virgin -- built through her own efforts -- to be her own woman, surrounded by these others who propose another mode of existing, almost like Ava understood the notion of helping others through the OCS as well. Her role in the story isn't over, cannot be over: who is she when she is not just a mother or just the embodiment of her company? Who is she when participating in community instead of elevated to an artificial position above the rest that endangered her own sense of humanity? Who is she without the myth of her own design?
We eagerly await for how these new developments concerning her unfold...
#jillian salvius#warrior nun#analysis and similar#exercises in observation#between you and me i am a sucker for how the blue lights work so well with thekla's blue eyes but that's just me bring thirsty i guess#i'm actually obsessed with how these characters in general Touch#the choices made by the performers in what relates to it drive me crazy#but of course thekla and sylvia stand out to me lol i apologise for nothing#maybe one day i'll write something up on mother superion and touch too. idk. no promises. i should be writing fic.#also i promise i did not intend to make a doctor superion manifesto out of this#it's not my fault those significant touches are exchanged with suzanne!!! take it up with mr barry if you have a problem!!!

Can't decide if I want to write abt green or gold rn smh . I haven't written a green fic in a while but on the other hand the johtrio fixation,,,
#also the idea i have for a gold fic might be slightly redundant with baby hotline#bc its just exploring how i perceive Gold's Issuesâąïž which is more or less what baby hotline started as#but it got kinda distracted by the Horrors#i guess me doing this without the Horrors wouldnt be awful bc i know not everyone enjoys the Horrors#and also a more comfort route where baby hotline was whump adds some flavor to it#the green fic is also mental health exploration specifically in regards to unhealthy upbringings#sort of the exact in-between timeline wise between it splits your head in two and you work too hard#him talking w Blue. them working out their Complexes . etc#anyway rotating these concepts in my brain#feel free to tell me which sounds more interesting to you if u read this far LMAO sorry 4 rambling#đ

summary âžș king gojo satoru of ithaca travels to sparta, seeking to win over who they say is the most beautiful mortal woman's heart. so when he sees you upon his arrival weaving under an olive tree, looking goddess-sent, he immediately loses the plot and concludes that it must be you that the tales and legends must talk about. it is not, but gojo has chosen who his queen will be. as gojo continues to break down your walls with his endless devotion and silver tongue, you must decide: will you let duty and your loved ones's expectations decide your fate, or will you choose the man who would defy even the heavens to claim you as his queen ?
warnings âžș smut, p i v sex, oral f recieving, whimpering gojo agenda <3, fluff, a big of angst if you squint, some insecurity, pining, banterTM, gojo is really whipped for reader, odypen inspired (this one's for my epic/pjo baddies), extensive greek mythology knowledge not needed, athena is tired of gojo lol, jealousy, helen is a sassy diva, not totally accurate to the lore of the illiad bc i just use the premise, mentions of children/pregnancy at the end if you squint, semi edited, art by @/yunonoaii
a/n my hyperfixation made me write this lol. you dont need to know anything about greek mythology to read this fic it's more of a period piece / royal au :3
general masterlist
You had registered the young manâs presence for quite some time now.
Ever since your beloved cousin Helenâthe most beautiful woman in the world, the kallikomos, kalliparÄios Helenâhad come of age, your palace had been plagued by an unceasing tide of suitors. Even a respite alone in the garden, in peace, was not guaranteed to you; just as the ivory haired suitor (who thought himself furitive) that had been sneaking and skirting around you for a while now, there were countless of men on the palace grounds desperate to even get a glimpse of what the countless legends and tales about Helen had described.Â
Though, you werenât jealous of your lovely cousinâyou loved her to death. But it was getting on your nerves, because you had hoped for a quiet evening relaxing under the olive tree you were sitting in. This mn, however, was different.
For some time now, the ivory-haired suitor had been skirting the edges of your sanctuary, moving as though he thought himself invisible. You could feel his gaze, sharp and intent, as you alternated between weaving and reading. His persistence should have irritated you. And yet, there was something amusing about his poor attempt at stealth.
The telltale rustle of grass betrayed him once again. You sighed, tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear before reaching up to gather it all, baring the curve of your neck to the evening breeze.
The stalker suitor tripped with a loud thud.
You blinked. Then, sighing once more, you set down your spindle and turned. "I know youâre there," you called, unimpressed.
Silence, then a low chuckle.
When he finally stepped into the open, your disinterested gaze liftedâand promptly widened.
Tall. Broad-shouldered. The build of a warrior, yet the face of a prince. A mischievous, almost boyish charm softened the sharp lines of his features, but his striking blue eyes gleamed with something untamed.
Helen would have a field day with him. Like that one thing she said about how she looovedd versatile men, the ones that could manhandle you but also whimper. Or whatever.Â
Then, to your utter shock, he dropped to one knee, extending his hand toward you in a bold gesture of devotion. His demeanor was confident, but you saw him sporting a hue of pink on his cheeks. It was rather cute, but any feelings of fondness disappeared at his next words.
"Oâ Helenâ" the suitor began, his voice rich with reverence, "fairest of all women, whose beauty outshines even the dawnâ"
You exhaled sharply through your nose. Of course.
"âpermit me but a moment to bask in your radiance, for no mortal man could gaze upon you and remain unchangedâ"
Your fingers curled tightly around the threads of your spindle.
"âgrant me the honor ofâ"
"Try again," you cut in, your voice deceptively sweet.
The suitor paused mid-sentence, blinking up at you.
"Pardon?"
You raised an unimpressed brow, tilting your head. "If youâre going to wax poetic, you might at least direct it toward the right woman."
His lips parted, then pressed into a puzzled frown. He tilted his head, sharp blue eyes scanning your face as if trying to decipher a riddle. "But⊠you are Helen," he said slowly, as if testing the words.
You let out a short laugh, shaking your head. "Afraid not."
A pause.
His gaze flickered over you again, as if he could will you into being Helen just by staring hard enough. "Are you sure?"
You gave him a look. "I would hope I know my own name."
His brows drew together, clearly struggling to process this revelation. "But youâreâyouâre sitting under an olive tree, looking vaguely divine. Your hair caught the light just now in a way that seemed very⊠goddess-sent. You have the whole tragic air of someone who is probably devastatingly beautiful and sought after by hundreds."
You blinked, trying to fight the heat creeping up your neck. You shouldnât be affected by his bromides, for his words must be a ploy to gain back his image after offending you. "Is that supposed to be an apology?"
He squinted. "More like a logical assessment of my mistake."
You sighed. "Well, your 'logical assessment' is incorrect."
He sat back on his heels, regarding you with blatant skepticism. "I donât know," he said slowly. "I came here for Helen. Youâre here. And you're lovely. Seems like a very Helen thing to do."
You gave him a flat stare in return. "What, exist?"
"Exactly."
You rolled your eyes. "I see why they make you fight instead of think."
At that, the suitor huffed a short laugh, his earlier embarrassment giving way to something more amused, more interested. "Alright," he conceded, crossing his arms over his knee. "If you arenât Helen, then who are you?"
You leaned back against the tree, allowing yourself a small, satisfied smirk. "The woman you just proposed to by accident."
He blinked. Then groaned, dragging a hand down his face. "The gods are laughing at me."
"As they should," you replied smoothly.
To your surprise, he grinned. "That makes two of us, then," he mused, tilting his head at you. "I get the feeling you enjoy seeing men suffer."
A non committal hum from you. âMaybe, maybe not.â With that, you began weaving once more, giving him the signal that his presence and platitudes were no longer needed. Â
Yet, he remained.
You could feel his gaze lingering, heavy with an amusement that refused to wane. He had the look of someone thoroughly entertained, and that irritated you more than anything. Having conversed with him, you knew he was sharper than the average suitorâquick-witted, quicker still to recover from his blunders. Though he had not done anything to overtly suggest it, there was something about him that set him apart. It was a feelingâan air around him, something god-graced.
You paid it no mind.
He had not meant for you to be the one on the receiving end of his affection, and it would do you no good to cling to a man who had come here seeking another. He was meant to lose his mind over Helen, not take interest in you.
"Tell me your name," he said suddenly, breaking the silence.
You didn't pause in your weaving. "Why?"
A short huff of laughter. "I figure if Iâm already embarrassing myself in front of a woman, I should at least know which one."
You shot him a sidelong glance, unimpressed. "Bold of you to assume youâll be staying long enough for it to matter."
His grin deepened. "Well, now I have to stay, just to prove you wrong."
You sighed, shaking your head. "Youâre insufferable."
"Iâve been told worse," he admitted. Then, leaning forward just slightly, he added, "Though never by a woman whose name I donât know."
You lifted a brow at him, unimpressed. "And do you have a name, then, mysterious suitor?"
His expression shifted, something proud yet teasing gleaming in those striking blue eyes.
"Gojo Satoru," he declared, as if it should mean something to you. "Of Ithaca."
You hummed, as if considering. "Never heard of it."
He blinked, then scoffed. "Never heard of Ithaca?" He placed a hand over his chest in mock offense. "A land of brilliant minds, fierce warriors, and some say the most handsome men to ever walk the earthâ"
"Ah," you interjected, dry. "That explains it."
He smirked. "Explains what?"
"Why Iâve never heard of it."
A beat of silence. Then, to your dismay, he laughedâfully, unabashedly, as if youâd just handed him the greatest gift in the world.
You huffed, returning your attention to your weaving. "Now that you have a name to be proud of, surely you can be on your way."
"Not yet," he said, far too easily.
You didnât look up. "Why?"
"Because you havenât given me yours."
You didnât miss the way his voice dipped, taking on something smoother, something more coaxing. He was trying to charm it out of you, as if your name was a prize worth winning.
"Perhaps I simply donât wish to give it," you mused, feigning disinterest.
"Perhaps youâre afraid," he countered.
You did look up at that, leveling him with an unimpressed stare. "Afraid?"
He shrugged, utterly unbothered. "That if I know your name, Iâll never forget it." His gaze flickered to your hands, to the weaving that had slowed ever so slightly. "And maybe⊠neither will you."
You forced yourself to resume your work, your fingers steady despite the odd flutter in your chest. "You think too highly of yourself, Gojo Satoru of Ithaca."
"Iâm told itâs my greatest flaw," he admitted, smirking. "Wellâone of many."
You ignored him, the rhythmic motion of your weaving serving as a convenient distraction.
Gojo exhaled, as if relentingâthough something told you he was nowhere near finished with you. He rocked back on his heels, eyeing you with unconcealed interest. "Alright, mystery woman," he drawled. "If you wonât give me your name, I suppose Iâll have to keep guessing."
You didn't dignify that with a response.
But somehow, you knewâthis would not be the last time Gojo Satoru of Ithaca sought you out.
He had yet to claim your name.
No matter how cunningly he pried, no matter how sweetly he coaxed, you remained steadfast, denying him that small but significant victory.
Satoru had undoubtedly set sail for Sparta in search of a worthy challenge and a faithful brideâbut he had not expected to find both in one woman. You were a puzzle, divine and elusive, a riddle spun by the Fates themselves. And for a man who relished the thrill of unraveling mysteries, you were the most captivating enigma he had ever encountered.
Not since the day he bested the enchanted boarâa feat that had drawn Athenaâs keen eye and earned him her favorâhad he felt such a rush.
Heâd dare say you were the first one heâs felt an affinity for, despite the countless of women and candidates he had faced ever since becoming the king of Ithaca.
But before he could ponder more on the thought, he sensed a presence, tensing immediately. Heavy-set footsteps, trying to be quiet in the hallway they were both in.
Satoru crossed his arms, halted where he was. âI know youâre there.â
A laugh barked out in a deep voice. âPerceptive like they say, Gojo Satoru of Ithaca.âÂ
Satoru watched as Toji Fushiguro sauntered toward him, his movements unhurried, yet carrying the unmistakable confidence of a seasoned warrior. The man was broad-shouldered, his presence commanding, the kind of brute who could cleave a man in half with a single swing of his blade. Yet his grinâsharp, knowingâheld more calculation than recklessness.
Toji came to a stop before him, arms crossed, weight shifted onto one foot like he had all the time in the world, smirking. "No wonder Athenaâs got her eye on you."
Satoru tilted his head, feigning nonchalance. "I do have a way of impressing gods and mortals alike," he mused. "Though I imagine you didnât come all this way just to admire me."
âJust assessing the competition,â Toji hums in response, eyes still assessing Satoru. He was trying to plan three steps ahead; unfortunately for him, Satoru was ten steps ahead.Â
âThere is no competition,â comes Satoruâs cool response.Â
Toji studied Satoru for a moment, his sharp green eyes narrowing slightly. Then, with an amused scoff, he asked, "Youâre not here to fight for Helenâs hand? Are you crazy?â
Satoru let out a low chuckle, shaking his head as if the very thought was amusing. "Helen?" he echoed, letting the name roll from his tongue with deliberate care. He lifted a hand, absently brushing an imaginary speck of dust from his sleeve. "No, Iâm afraid I have no interest in her."
Toji studied him, eyes narrowing. "Sheâs the most beautiful woman in the world."
Satoru did not deny it. "So they say."
"And yet," Toji pressed, his tone skeptical, "you arenât here for her?"
Satoru finally looked at him properly, his head tilting, his gaze alight with something teasing, something unreadable. "Not in the way you are." He let the words settle between them before continuing, his tone almost indulgent. "Youâre welcome to her."
Tojiâs mouth pressed into a thin line. His instincts told him Satoru was not lying, yet something about the Ithacanâs expression, the way he carried himself, the glint in those striking blue eyesâit all made him wary. He had met many warriors in his time, but this was no brute with a sword, no hotheaded prince desperate to claim a prize.
Satoru Gojo was something else entirely.
"So what is it, then?" Toji asked, crossing his arms tighter, his voice edged with suspicion. "You sailed all this way, and for what? A festival?"
Satoruâs smirk deepened, his expression inscrutable. "Letâs just say Sparta has given me a rather interesting puzzle."
Toji scoffed but let it drop, running a hand through his dark hair. "Whatever," he muttered. "If you're really not here for Helen, then maybe you can help me."
Satoru hummed in vague interest. "Oh?"
"I intend to win her," Toji stated plainly. "But I could use an extra hand in ensuring things go my way."
Satoru did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze upward, as though admiring the vaulted ceilings of the hall, as though considering some grander design that only he could see. Then, with the ease of a man wholly unbothered by the concerns of others, he exhaled through his nose, the beginnings of a smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry about it," he said at last, his voice rich with something almost too smooth, too assured. "Everything is already falling into place."
Toji stiffened slightly at the words, his war-honed instincts bristling at their implication. He did not like things he could not predict, and Gojo Satoru of Ithaca was proving to be as unreadable as the gods themselves.
His brows lowered. "And what the hell does that mean?"
But Satoru only laughed, turning on his heel, the faintest shimmer of torchlight catching in his silver-white hair.
"Guess youâll just have to wait and see."
And with that, he strode off, his footsteps unhurried, leaving Toji standing in the flickering shadows, frowning after him.
The great hall of Sparta was alive with the clash of bronze and the roars of men. The suitors, assembled from all corners of Greece, fought with a desperation that could only belong to those who sought glory and the hand of Helen. Blades flashed, spears thrust, and the resounding clamor of shields meeting shields filled the air like the din of battle.
Satoru Gojo of Ithaca stood at the edge of the fray, watching with a detached amusement. He had not drawn his blade, nor did he so much as feign interest in the chaos unfolding before him. Instead, his arms were loosely crossed, his posture relaxed, his sharp blue gaze studying each warrior as though they were mere pieces on a game board.
Meanwhile, you and Helen watched from the shade of a marble colonnade, seated atop a cushioned bench where servants had arranged fruits and wine for the both of you. But neither of you reached for the offerings; your gazes remained transfixed on the chaos below.
You shook your head at the ridiculous display. "It must be nice to be fought for by so many men," you murmured, resting your chin in your palm.
Helen sighed daintilyâin a way that was so typically Helen it made you smile fondlyâher hair catching the afternoon light like threads spun from the sun itself. âI will admit that it has its advantages.â
You cast her a dry look before gesturing at the men below. âHelen,â you shook your head, sighing exasperatedly, âtheyâre savages. Theyâre beating each other senselessly. Does this not disgust you?â Instead, your cousinâs beautiful lips curled up in a knowing smile, teasing you, âJealous, my dear cousin?â
âNo.â But the answer came a little too quickly, a little too defensively. The yells and violence was a display of brutishnessâbut you would not be truthful to yourself if you didnât admit that you were a bit envious of the attention your cousin was getting.Â
However, one would be a fool to confuse your sentiments for bitternessâas a princess yourself, there were no shortage of men who would be here to get you as a prize, if they did not get Helen. No shortage of men wondering who is he? Who is the man whoâll have the princess as his wife?
But unfortunately, it seemed that your father, the Spartan king Icarius, had other plans, for he would not let any man be your husband so easily. In fact, he did not wish you to marry and be taken away from him.
It was safe to say that not much male attention was on you due to this obstacle.
Helen showed no reaction to your response, but only hummed. âThis fightingâsooner or later, youâre going to be in my shoes. Youâre going to have to choose at one point, too, my dear.âÂ
âSays who?â You scoffed, turning your eyes back to the courtyard. âDo not forget Helen, these men want power. Power so they can tower above each other, place themselves above all others.â
Helen shrugged. âSo what?â
You shook your head. âSilly Helen. Wouldnât you prefer some intellectual prowess over someâŠsavage?â Â
Before Helen could reply, a shift in the air drew both of your attention back to the courtyard.
The chaos had stilled, if only for a moment. A singular figure stood at the center of it all, his ivory hair catching the wind, his stance languid yet poised.
That suitor.
The gathered nobles whispered among themselves, exchanging glances as Satoru approached the high table where the King of Sparta, Tyndareus, sat watching. The aged king stroked his beard, his expression unreadable as the Ithacan prince stopped before him, offering a bow that barely concealed the glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Your Majesty," Satoru began smoothly, "it seems we have our victor. But before we move forward, I believe there is an agreement that must be made."
The murmurs in the hall grew louder. Tyndareus narrowed his eyes slightly. "Speak, Gojo of Ithaca."
Satoru straightened, clasping his hands behind his back. "These men have come from every kingdom in Greece, each seeking the honor of marrying your daughter. Such a prize, however, comes with its dangers. Whoever wins Helenâs hand will earn not just her love but the envy and ire of the rest." He paused, letting the weight of his words settle over the hall. "If left unchecked, this jealousy could lead to war."
Tyndareusâs jaw tightened. It was a concern he himself had harbored, though few had dared to speak it outright.
Satoruâs lips curled at the edges, his voice turning smooth, persuasive. "I propose an oath. Let every suitor here, whether victorious or defeated, swear allegiance to Helenâs chosen husband. Let them vow, upon the gods, to uphold this union and defend it should any outside force seek to undo it. In doing so, Sparta ensures peace among the great kingdoms, rather than sows the seeds of discord."
Silence fell over the hall. The assembled nobles exchanged glances, the weight of the proposal heavy in the air. Even Toji, ever the warrior, raised a brow in consideration.
Tyndareus studied Satoru for a long moment, his fingers tapping against the armrest of his throne. Then, slowly, he nodded. "You are wise beyond your years, Gojo of Ithaca. Your proposal is sound. Let it be done."
A herald stepped forward, calling for the gathered suitors to kneel. One by one, they bent the knee, placing their hands over their hearts, swearing their loyalty to Helenâs future husband, binding themselves to an oath that would shape the course of history.
As the final echoes of the vow rang through the hall, Satoru turned his gaze to Toji, his smirk deepening ever so slightly. The pieces were falling into place, just as he had foreseen.
Meanwhile, in your placeâwhere you and Helen were spectating the whole event away from common sightâHelen nudged you slightly, voice hushed in interest you hadnât seen her display for any suitor yet. âDid you see thatâthe way he sweet talked my father?â Her gentle eyes widened in a way that could kill a man. âWho is he?â
You had no answer. Because, truthfully, you were wondering the same thing.
The palace gardens were quiet at this hour, bathed in the golden glow of the late afternoon sun. The scent of myrrh and olive trees lingered in the air, mixing with the faint salt of the distant sea. You sat with Helen beneath the shade of a vine-laden pergola, her back pressed against your legs as you wove your fingers through her silken strands, carefully braiding them into an intricate plait.
Helen, ever the restless one, sighed dramatically. âDo you suppose I should be flattered or terrified?â
You didnât have to ask what she meant. The courtyard had been in an uproar for hours after the suitorsâ oath had been sworn. Servants gossiped in hushed tones, and noblewomen tittered behind their veils. The future queen of Sparta had just gained the loyalty of every warrior presentâwhether she wanted it or not.
âWhy not both?â you mused, separating another section of her hair.
Helen laughed, tossing her head slightly. âIt is one thing to be the object of admiration. It is quite another to be the cause of bloodshed.â
You hummed in acknowledgment, though your fingers stilled when she spoke again, voice full of mischief.
âDid you see him?â
You resumed braiding. âWho?â
Helen turned just enough to throw you an incredulous look. âWho?â she repeated, mockingly. âAs if you do not know exactly who I speak of. Gojo Satoru of Ithaca.â
You clicked your tongue. âOh, him.â
âOh, him?â Helen scoffed. âDo not play coy, cousin. He commanded that entire courtyard without lifting a blade.â
You smiled, but she could not see you. âThat only proves he is cunning,â you pointed out, keeping your voice neutral.
âThat proves he is powerful,â Helen countered, shifting as you tugged lightly at her braid. âHe held those men in the palm of his hand.â
Barking out a laugh, you continued your work. âOr perhaps he simply enjoys hearing himself speak.â
Helen laughed, tilting her head back against your lap. âYou wound me with your dullness. Do you not see? There was something about him. He has the air of a man accustomed to winning.â
You tried not to scowl. Of course he did.
And if Helen had her eye on him, there was no chance for you.
The thought settled in your chest like a stone.
It was not as though you had entertained any hopesâbut you were not blind. The way he had looked at you in the hallways, the way he had tried to coax your name from you, the way he had seemed amused by your defiance. It had sparked something treacherous inside of you, something unspoken and foolish.
Because no man, no matter how powerful or wise, would ever choose you over Helen.
You forced your thoughts aside and tightened the braid. âAnd what of Toji Fushiguro?â you asked lightly, forcing the subject to change. âI noticed you watching him as well.â
Helen hummed, pleased with the shift in conversation. âA brute, but a striking one. I imagine he fights as well as he looks.â
You snorted. âI imagine he thinks with his fists.â
âAll the better,â Helen teased. âI should not mind a warrior who throws me over his shoulder and carries me off.â
You rolled your eyes, but you giggled regardless. âYou are insufferable.â
Helen twisted, kneeling so that you were now face to face. She reached for your hair, her fingers beginning to weave it into a braid of your own.
âYou say I am insufferable, but you have yet to deny that Gojo Satoru is worth admiring,â she murmured.
You sighed exasperatedly, looking anywhere except for your cousinâs eyes. âMust we discuss this?â
Helenâs fingers worked deftly, her expression smug. âIt is only natural to discuss the most intriguing men.â
âAnd yet I am sure you are doing it to torment me.â
âPerhaps a little.â Helenâs grin softened as she studied you. âYou would not be so opposed to him if you did not find him interesting.â
You swallowed, looking away. âThat is notââ
âYou braid my hair with such care,â she interrupted, looping another section of yours. âAnd yet, you guard your own thoughts as if I am the enemy.â
You closed your eyes briefly, inhaling the scent of lavender and sun-warmed stone. Helen had always been perceptive when she wished to be.
âThere is nothing to guard,â you murmured.
Helen merely smiled, finishing your braid with a satisfied tug.
But the knowing look in her eyes unsettled you more than any battle in the courtyard ever could.
Despite coming for Helen, Satoru continuously seeks your presence.
Your presence is intoxicating, even the smallest of glimpses of you enough to induce a feeling, one heâd liken to eating the godsâ ambrosia or drinking the finest nectar. Every time he saw you, it was passing moments in the hallways of the palace or sneaked glances while you were in the gardenâyour chin up, posture proud. Your eyes downcast as if you had no interest in the countless of men among you. The light only returned when you were weaving, or discussing with your cousin.
But Satoru had not been able to see you more than just those miniscule, fleeting momentsâit was your accursed father that kept an eye on you during dinners, his withered glare threatening all suitors, as if to remind them: Youâre here for Helen, and keep my daughter out of this, for she is not a prize you can easily win.
Little did he know Satoru loved challenges.
So he thanks the gods that an annual Spartan festival is thoroughly celebrated in the palace today.
The hall is the spitting image of revelry. Men adorn their finest tunics while women have braids of flowers and cloths, wine, fresh fruits, and meat are plentiful on all tables. Thereâs singing, thereâs dancing, and, best of all, thereâs you.
Satoruâs been observing you for quite some time now. It wouldnât be fair to call it something akin to a predator stalking his prey; no, you far from being bested by Satoru. More like a bird waiting for all the weaker mates to filter themselves out.
They were like peacocks, the men that came up to you, with the way they flared their artificial grandeur. Each time a young man sat next to you, you remained aloof, giving them nothing but a bunch of polite glances and nods. But it was clear that what ever your responses or questions were, they were nonplussed. Satoru almost felt bad for the fools if it werenât for how they were encroaching on his time to finally talk to you.
It was the opening that a particularly witless and brutish man had given himâthe guy basically leaves the seat next to you, almost in tears from whatever you had said to him, but you only blinked as Satoru approached.
Satoru slid into the recently vacated seat beside you with the grace of a man who had never been denied anything in his life. He draped an arm over the back of his chair, all effortless ease, as if he had been waiting for this moment all night.
"Whatever you said to him, Iâd like to hear it," he mused, his lips quirking in amusement. "Though I do hope you go a little easier on meâIâm rather sensitive, you see."
Your gaze flickered to him, unimpressed, though there was something almost imperceptible in your eyesâmild intrigue, perhaps.
"If you are so easily wounded, Your Majesty, then I fear you are not prepared for a Spartan womanâs words."
His grin widened. "Oh, but I live for danger."
You hummed, noncommittal, before returning your attention to the food before you. Satoru, however, found himself transfixed by the way you reached for a slice of fruit, your fingers delicate yet decisive as you brought it to your lips. You took a slow, deliberate bite, and for the first time in his life, Satoru forgot how to speak.
It was absurd, really. He had seen beautiful women eat beforeâHelen herself had a practiced elegance to itâbut there was something about you. Something about the unthinking ease with which you did it, how your lips parted just slightly before closing around the fruit, how you chewed with quiet, effortless grace, unbothered by the weight of hungry gazes that lingered on you.
For a man who had always been surrounded by beauty, who had spent his life sated and indulged, it was utterly unfair that something so simple could leave him spellbound.
Perhaps the gods were toying with him.
"Youâve been staring for quite some time," you remarked, snapping him out of his reverie.
Satoru exhaled a laugh, recovering with impressive speed. "Can you blame me? Iâm simply trying to unravel the mystery of how you managed to make that poor soul flee in tears. Iâd rather not suffer the same fate."
"Then I suggest you leave now, Your Majesty."
"Not a chance."
You sighed, though there was the ghost of amusement at the corner of your lips. "Persistent, arenât you?"
Satoru grinned. "And yet, here you are, still talking to me."
He watched as you reached for another piece of fruit, this time slower, as if testing him, watching to see if he would stare again. He nearly laughedâbecause, of course, he did.
"You truly are hopeless," you muttered, shaking your head.
"Ah, but at least I am entertaining," he countered. "And I do believe Iâve managed what those other poor fools could notâIâve kept your attention."
You opened your mouth to retort, but he was faster. "Go on, you can admit it," he teased. "I make for much better company than them, donât I?"
For a moment, you merely regarded him, expression unreadable. Then, to his absolute delight, a soft laugh escaped your lips.
It was small, barely more than an exhale, but it was real.
And gods, it was beautiful.
Satoru leaned in slightly, drinking in the sight of you as if committing it to memory.
"See?" he murmured, triumphant. "I told you Iâm quite good at this."
Your amusement lingered, but you shook your head as if in exasperation. "If you say so."
He did not say so. He knew so.
Because despite all the reasons he had come to Sparta, despite all the men who had gathered to win Helenâs hand, Satoru had found himself drawn to you instead.
And he had no intention of stopping now.
But before he could get another word in, a horn sounds, and you nod to him, somewhat apologetically. âThat is my call.â
Before he can ask, you head, skirts fluttering behind you as you move to join a growing group of young ladies in the middle. Itâs clear the gathering has captured the interest of most of the men that were previously dining.Â
You make your way down to the middle, where you arrive at your positionâitâs the one youâve occupied every year. This dance is a show of grace and lineage, a chance for the noblemen to watch and admire, to see which girl carries herself with the most poise, the most elegance, the most effortless charm.
In Gojoâs eyes, itâs easy to determine who that is.
You take your place among your cousins, hands joining as the musicians begin their melody. It is a lighthearted dance, nothing too intricate, nothing that demands much more than the ability to move in time with the others. Your skirts flutter with each step, the long strands of your braid swaying as you turn.
Itâs a girlish, lighthearted dance youâve done since you were little. You and your younger cousins giggle as you go through the motions, reveling in the attentions of the spectators that witness the lovely display with amusement and pure, wholesome adoration.
That is, until you register a special set of eyes on you.
In a specific turn along to the strum of the lyre, you turn gracefullyâa move that orients you towards Gojoâs direction. When you finally see his face and notice his presence, itâs like youâre kicked in the chest in a spar with Helen, with the way your breath leaves you.
His eyes are dark, enraptured on you, and only you. Heat creeps up your neck as you move your hands as youâre oddly flustered. His gaze is admiring and is respectful, but the intensity of itâlike longing that is toeing the line between lust and pure yearningâmakes your heart quicken in a way that you rue your accursed organ, for it to beat so traitorously. When he notices that youâre staring back at him, his jawâwhich was clenchedâloosens in a smile, but the smile isnât innocent. It spells out a promiseâone unspoken, one that curls at the edges of his lips like a secret meant for you alone. It is the kind of smile that men wear when they know something you donât, when they have already decided on something long before youâve even had the chance to argue.
It is sharp. Focused.
It traces the curve of your waist, the sway of your hips, the way your arms extend with each graceful movement.
It darkens.
Heat spreads up your neck before you can help it. The flickering torches of the hall must be to blame, or perhaps the wine in your belly, but you feel warm, too warm, and it is absurd.
Why should you care where Gojo of Ithacaâs eyes linger?
His smirk grows, and it is cocky. Infuriating, even. You snap your head away before he can see how your face burns, resuming your dance with the others, willing yourself to shake off the foolishness that has settled in your bones.
But even as you turn, even as the skirts of your dress flare and the room around you continues its celebration, you feel itâ
His eyes.
Still watching.
âAthena, I swear to you that I need her. She is my future wife!â Gojo insists, stomping his feet as he trails the goddess as if he were a child. It reminded the goddess of wisdom of when she first met himâwhen he had taken down the magic boar she had let loose, showing him of having intellect worthy of being mentored by her.Â
But Athena had meant to be a mentor to a warrior of the mindânot this lovesick, pathetic fool in front of her, like a dog whining for food. Athena sighed exasperatedly as another animal she was hunting runs away from Gojoâs sheer loudness. âEnough!â she snaps, but not unkindly. âWho is this princess you speak of, and what kind of spell has she cast on you to become this much of a fool?â
Gojo ignores any insults directed towards him, and instead adorns a bright smile at the mention of you. âShe is the cousin of Helen of Sparta, and the daughter of Icariusââ
Gojo is interrupted by a snort. âThe same one that swore to never marry his daughter off?â
This gives Gojo a reason to pause. He had not known this fact. âSo, how do you propose Iââ
Much to his chagrin, the w goddess is already a few steps ahead. âTo waste my time on strategy to secure a woman, Gojo, is quite preposterous.
But if you must insist on my counsel, then you shall earn it," Athena declares, turning on her heel to face him fully. Her gaze, sharp as a well-honed blade, sweeps over him, as if assessing whether he is truly worth the effort. "Icarius is a man of reason before all else. He values intellect, discipline, and above all, loyalty. If you wish to stand a chance, you must prove to me two things: one, that she is a wise woman worth of being sought after, and, two, you must prove that you are not merely another suitor blinded by beauty."
Gojo grins, clearly pushing his luck. "So you will help me?"
Athena exhales, the very picture of divine suffering. "I will not gift you the answer, but I will grant you the means to find it yourself."
"Which is just a long-winded way of saying you will help me." He nods sagely, as if he has unraveled the mysteries of Olympus itself.
Athena rubs her temple. "I should have let the boar trample you."
Gojo only laughs, stepping in line beside her as they weave through the woods. His mind is already turning, piecing together what little he knows of Icarius, of you, and of what he must do to win. Because one thing is certainâhe will win.
Icarius may have sworn never to wed you off, but Gojo Satoru has never been one to abide by the rules.
You do not want to be here.
All you simply wanted was time in your sanctuary, your olive tree. It remained hidden in the royal gardens, so itâs a wonder that Gojo of Ithaca had found you. Of course, you would have to be a fool to not admit that these suitorsâ wit paled in comparison to that white-haired young king. Such as this one, for example.
âMy lady, I could not help but notice your fair disposition when I looked upon you,â the suitor grins, his teeth bared like a dog catching scent of a meal. It is not a pleasant expression. You do not react, save for clutching your weaving tighter to your chest. He steps closer, and you take measured care not to recoil, though the instinct is strong. âMay you grant me your nameââ
âI would have to apologize,â you cut him, already turning away. âMy father does notââ
Youâre stopped by a harsh grip on your wrist, and you wrench your gaze back to the suitor in shock.Â
"You wound me, my lady," the man says, still smiling as if this was amusing. As if he had power over you. Physical power, you suppose, but clearly this man was lacking in intellect, to not have noticed his presence. "You have been so cold to me, and Iâ"
He does not notice the shadow behind him.
âAh,â a voice interjects, smooth, easy. âThatâs no way to hold a ladyâs hand, is it?â
The grip on your wrist slackens, but another takes its placeâlight, barely a touch.
Gojo.
The suitorâs face twists in confusion, but it quickly shifts to pain as Gojo applies the smallest pressure to his wrist.
âYouââ
âShe said no,â Gojo interrupts breezily. âAnd Iâd hate to make a scene, so do us all a favor and leave before I decide to break something, yeah?â
With an effortless flick of his hand, the suitor stumbles back, shaking out his wrist as if burned.
Gojo does not spare him another glance. His attention is on you.
âAre you alright?â His voice is softer now, no teasing lilt, no easy arrogance.
You hesitate, unsettled.
âI was handling it,â you say, though it does not come out as firm as you would like.
Gojo only hums, something that sounds like, I know you could, but youâre distracted by his eyes drifting down to your wrist, where a faint mark has already begun to bloom.
His gaze darkens, but you hurry to assure him. âIâll bandage this, itâs not a big woundââ
He interrupts you. âNo need,â gently holds your shoulder, as if imploring you to follow him into the direction heâs started to walk, âIâll do it myself.â
âThatâs notââ
âLook.â He shoots you a look, but it is not unkind nor patronizing. You realize belatedly that it has set your heart aflutter. âI trust that you know how to bandage your wound. But I have had countless like it, so you are with a skilled master in healing. And who knows which suitors may find you on your journey to the physician?
You purse your lips, biting back a retort but failing. âAnd arenât you one of the said suitors?â
His lips pull back in an amused smile, and you notice his hand is still resting lightly on your shoulder. âI think we both know Iâm different.â You bite back a smile.
âOh, really?â you remark dryly, but the look in your eyes is anything but. âAnd how did Your Majesty acquire the title of being different?â
His thumb brushes, just barely, against the fabric of your sleeve before he withdraws his hand entirely, as if sensing that heâs lingered too long. But his smirk remains, insufferable as ever.
âFor one, I donât make a habit of forcing myself upon unwilling women,â Gojo remarks, a pointed edge to his otherwise careless tone. âAnd for anotherâŠâ He tilts his head, considering you. âI daresay I might be infatuated in a way theyâor youâcouldnât comprehend.â
Your breath catches, but you recover quickly, huffing as you turn away. âAll these sweet nothings. Helen will love you.â
Gojo chuckles, stepping ahead of you as he leads the way. âYet she is not the one I am after.â
You pause. Soak in his words. Outwardly, you roll your eyes and follow him for you were at a lack of words, but inside Poseidonâs storm rages inside you at his words, creating a ferocious whirlpool of conflicting feelings.
His strides are long and easy, as if he belongs wherever he walks, and yet, he slows his pace just enough for you to keep up. The gesture is not lost on you.
The physicianâs chamber is quiet when you arrive, save for the distant chatter of servants outside. Gojo does not call for assistance. He merely gestures for you to sit, pulling out a small cloth and a bowl of water, his movements easy and practiced.
âYouâve done this before,â you murmur as he kneels before you, pressing the damp cloth against your wrist.
His smile is unreadable. âI am a warrior, am I not?â
The cold seeps into your skin, making you shiver. Gojo notices. His touch, for all his bravado, is unbearably gentle. You do not know what to make of it.
âYouâll bruise,â he says softly, fingers skimming over the faint marks. âDoes it hurt?â
You swallow. âNo.â
A lie.
Gojoâs gaze flickers up to yours, and for the first time, there is no teasing in his expressionâonly something quiet and knowing, something that makes your heart betray you in its weakness.
For a moment, you both fall into a silence, and, to avoid his gaze, you go back to clutching at your hand and staring at it, as if thereâs something really intriguing about it. Then, he speaks up. âWant to play?â
You bring your gaze back to him, caught off guard. âWhat?â
He cocks his head in a direction to which you face, and there you see it: a game board. One to play petteia.Â
You turn back at him, blinking. âYou play petteia?â
Gojo grins, stretching out with a lazy ease that only makes you more suspicious. As if he has ulterior motives to this. âWhat, surprised? Strategy games are a warriorâs pastime.â
You squint him. That line of reasoning was rather true, you suppose. Something told youâsomething being the way he convinced Helenâs father so easily, how he always seemed three, no, six steps aheadâthat he was no normal warrior, no normal brute. Huffing, you remark offhandedly, âI suppose a true warrior does sharpen his mind as well as his sword. Itâs a pity that youâll be losing today. To me.â
His smile deepens, and it makes you notice small indents in his cheeks as a result, and the way thereâs a rosy pink hue on his cheeks, as if heâs excited to see what you can do. âThen by all means, put me to shame.â
You settle onto the floor, determined, as he arranges the pieces between you. The rules are simple enoughâcapture your opponentâs pieces by flanking them on either sideâbut the way Gojo moves is anything but. He plays with an insufferable sort of confidence, shifting his pieces with flicks of his fingers, as if the game is already his to win.
Until it isnât, obviously.
He frowns when the click of stone dropped onto the board sounds. Youâve cut off his advancing soldier, trapping it neatly between two of your own.
âHuh,â he muses, tapping his chin. He stares at the board, mind no doubt going at a speed unfathomable to most. His eyes flick rapidly, as if assessing the position of all the stone and calculating all the possible moves and permutations that can salvage him out of the situation youâve created for him. You maintain your poker face, but inside, you want to smile. You had calculated those said combinations a few steps ago, and itâd be really hard to get out of this. Then, comes out a âThat was⊠unexpected.â
You smile sweetly. âWhatâs wrong? Did the great King of Ithaca not anticipate that?â
Gojo exhales, dragging a hand through his hair while huffing out a laught. âYouâre quite ruthless, arenât you?â
âIâm practical,â you correct, claiming another of his pieces. âAnd good at this game.â
Gojo squints at the board, as if trying to decipher where exactly he went wrong. âYou do know youâre supposed to let me win, right? My pride is fragile.â
âI wasnât aware kings had fragile pride.â
âYou wound me, my lady.â He presses a hand to his chest, but his movements are distracted as he moves another pieceâonly for you to immediately trap it.
His head snaps up. âWaitââ
You make your final move, effortlessly cornering his last few soldiers.
Silence.
Gojo blinks at the board.
You clear your throat. âDo you need a moment to process this?â
Slowly, he leans back, shaking his head with something close to awe. âYou know, I was planning to go easy on you, but I donât think that would have helped.â
You grin, triumphant. âIâll take that as an admission of defeat.â
Gojo exhales through his nose, then tilts his head at you, a glint of something unreadable in his eyes.
âYouâre dangerous,â he says, and youâre not quite sure if itâs a compliment or a warning.
âMaybe to an overconfident king who underestimates his opponent.â
That urges out a laugh from him, and he shakes his head. âTrust me, I was not underestimating you. It seemed that I had overestimated myself.â
Before you can respond, Gojo leans forward, propping his chin on his hand as he watches you with something unsettlingly thoughtful.
You donât trust that look.
âWhat?â you ask warily.
He hums. âJust thinking.â
âThatâs a dangerous pastime for you.â
Gojo presses a hand over his chest, as if wounded. âCruel. After I iced your wrist and let you absolutely demolish me at petteia, this is the thanks I get?â
âYou act as if I owe you something.â
His smirk returns, slow and smug. âWell, since you mention itâŠâ
You narrow your eyes. âNo.â
âYou didnât even hear me out.â
âI know you well enough to predict whatever absurd request youâre about to make.â
Gojo lets out a dramatic sigh, tilting his head back. âAnd here I was, about to propose something completely reasonable. A fair exchange.â
You arch a brow. âFair?â
He nods, all feigned seriousness. âSee, I let you win.â
âYou most certainly did not.â
âAnd I helped with your wrist.â
Your lips press into a line. âWhich you did of your own volition.â
Gojo ignores this. âSo, as a completely justified request, I think you should let me meet you in the royal gardens.â
You blink. His words hang in the air between you, a casual proposition that somehow carries more weight than it should.
âThe gardens?â
He nods. âBy the olive tree at sunset. The one where we met.â
âWhy?â
Groaning, he lounges back, pushing his feet out while doing the motion. It makes his long legs come closer to where yours are opposite from him, so much that you can feel their heat. Not direct contact, but there. âHave I not made my advances clear by now?â He moves to a sitting position, a more serious look in his eyes as he earnestly looks at you, but you find it hardâdespite your usual dry disposition towards suitorsâto maintain eye contact, so you opt to look at your hands instead as his next words strike blows to your treacherous heart.
 âYour Highness, I am here for you. You are far wittier than meâI have things to learn from you. You have bewitched me, for I did not know it was possible for a lady to consume my every waking thoughts in such a violent way as you have. You may think me a stranger, and you may think me one of the many foolish suitors here for Miss Helenâs hand, but I will make you fall in love with me. I will show you that despite my pride, I will be a kind and gentle husband.â He exhales, as if steadying himself, but his eyes remain fixed on you. There is no jest in them, no trace of the arrogance he so often wears like armor. Only something raw.
âAnd I will absolutely not leave this city until you come back to me in my kingdom as the Queen of Ithaca. It may require god-like skill to convince your father to marry meâbut I am nothing if not persistent.â
Before you can even begin to form a responseâbefore you can push past the breath lodged in your throat, the furious pounding in your chestâthereâs a voice.
"There you are!"
Helen.
You turn just as she strides toward you, golden as ever, a vision of effortless beauty. She doesnât seem to have heard a word of what was just spoken, too preoccupied with her own delight at having found you.
"Iâve been looking everywhere," she sighs, linking her arm through yours before glancing at Gojo, who, for once, remains uncharacteristically silent. Her eyes flick between the two of you, and then she hums. "I hope I wasnât interrupting anything?"
Gojo recovers faster than you do. "Not at all, Your Highness," he says smoothly, a practiced smile slipping into place. "I was simply getting to know your cousin better."
Helen gives him a flirtatious smile, but nevertheless turns to you, frowning. âAnd why are you at the physicianâs?â
You feel Gojoâs eyes follow your movements as you shake your head and rise, walking towards Helen. âAn unruly suitor. It was a light bruise, it is not a great matterââ
âA bruise?!â
âCome with me,â you hissed, waving her along so she did not question further. It seemed that the room was very warm, for you felt a heat creep up your neck the longer Gojoâs eyes unequivocally stayed on you.Â
Helen blinked, at a loss for words, no doubt pondering why you both were leaving Gojoâs presence so readily. âBut His Majestyââ
âCousin,â you snapped, âdid you not have a reason to be looking for me?â
Helen blinks, momentarily distracted. Then, as if something suddenly occurs to her, she brightens.
âOh! Yes, Father wanted to see you.â
You exhale, relievedâonly for it to be short-lived, because she doesnât move.
She remains rooted in place, glancing back at Gojo with a look that is far too amused for your liking. The flirtatious smile returns, softer now, more intrigued.
âBut surely,â she muses, tilting her head, âyou wouldnât mind if I stayed a moment longer? Itâs not often one meets a man as charming as His Majesty of Ithaca.â
You narrow your eyes. âHelen.â
âWhat?â she says, all innocence. âWeâre simply talking.â
You glance at Gojo, expecting him to look insufferably pleased, but instead, heâs watching you. Not Helen. You tear your gaze away.
Itâs only once the two of you are walking through the halls, out of earshot, that Helen sighs, linking your arms again.
âHeâs quite something, isnât he?â she murmurs.
You keep your eyes ahead. âPerhaps. A bit arrogant, though.â
âHeâs clever,â she corrects, then gives you a knowing look. âAnd you like him.â
You scoff, though the heat on your skin betrays you. âI do not.â
Helen only laughs, shaking her head. âDearest cousin,â she sighs, âI have seen you endure the most persistent suitors with all the warmth of an ice-cold river. And yet, here you are, playing petteia with him, letting him tend to your wounds.â
You do not have an answer to that.
And Helen does not press further. She only smiles wistfully to herself, as if she already knows how this story will end.
âŠ
The halls are silent at this hour, save for the whisper of your steps against the cool stone. You keep to the shadows, careful, quiet. If anyone were to see you like thisâwrapped in a cloak, a weaver in hand, slipping through the corridors like a thief in the nightâthere would be whispers by morning.
But then again, what whispers have ever concerned you?
The thought does not comfort you as much as it should.
Your grip tightens around the weaver, its familiar weight grounding. You brought it with you on the off chance that Gojo, like most men, proves unreliable. You have no reason to believe he will come; his feelings for you could be temporary lust, a second option in case his primary oneâHelenâfails. No reason to have entertained his invitation at all. And yet, you go.
You cannot say why.
A foolish impulse, perhaps. Or simple curiosity. Or maybeâ
You push the thought away, focusing instead on the memory that surfaces unbidden.
A conversation with your father, just today while you dined.
You had spoken of Helenâs upcoming wedding of the foreign princes and warriors who sought her hand, of the future that awaited her.
Your father had frowned, the lines of his face deepening. âIt is dangerous,â he had said, quiet but firm. âTo entrust my daughter to a man who cannot ensure her well-being.â
You had smiled then, easy and unbothered, as if his words did not touch something in you. âIt is not you he must convince.â
He had looked at you for a long moment, something unreadable in his gaze, but ended up remarking offhandedly, as if reminding you. âI do not want you to go far from me.â
And you, still smiling, had said nothing at all.
Now, in the solitude of the night, you are no longer smiling.
You know your fatherâs concern is not unfounded. It is not simply Helenâs future that weighs on himâit is yours.
But it is a strange thing, the way his words linger, how they press against you, heavy and quiet. Not as a warning. Not as a burden. But as something else. Something you cannot yet name.
You reach the courtyard, the olive tree standing tall against the night sky behind a series of trees. You exhale, slow and steady, before walking to reach it, weaver in hand.
If he comes, he comes.
And if notâ
Well. You were never the kind to wait idly for a man.
But before you could go on your endless mental tirade of how despicable the male species were, you heard a voice. Gojoâs voice in particular.
Walking closer and closerâto where your olive tree was but not where you were visible, trees providing coverageâyou noticed him talking to someone in a hushed, yet excited tone. You use the window of sight allowed by the gap between the treesâ leaves to see him, standing with an owl on his forearm. Itâs turned to him, as if paying attention, although exasperatedly, to him while he stands tall as ever, his foot tapping impatiently against the grass.
You hesitate, watching as the owl blinks at him, as if listening, considering his words.
And then it notices you. Its, well, owlish eyes are wide as they lock in on your figure.
With a quiet rustle of feathers, it takes flight, disappearing into the night.
Gojo turns, following its path before his gaze lands on you.
âYou scared my friend away,â he says, as if this is the most natural thing in the world.
You blink at him. âYou were talking to an owl.â
He shrugs, as if this too is perfectly reasonable. âSheâs a good listener. A little judgmental, though.â
You give him a look, unimpressed. âI see youâve finally found an audience that suits you.â
His lips curve into a slow smile. âAnd yet, here you are.â
You huff, settling onto one of the smooth stones beneath the tree. âI didnât come for your company.â You hold up the weaver in your hands, as if that alone is proof of your intentions. âI came to pass the time.â
âAh,â he drawls, stepping closer, hands slipping into the folds of his cloak. âAnd yet, youâre talking to me instead.â
You narrow your eyes at him, but he only grins, triumphant.
âTell me,â he muses, dropping down beside you. âWere you hopingâor predicting, with that fast mind of yoursâI wouldnât come?â
You donât answer right away, fingers idly threading the weaver. The night air is cool, the scent of olives and earth thick around you.
âWould it have mattered?â you ask at last, voice light, careless.
Gojo watches you, and for a moment, he does not answer either.
Then, quietly, as if confessing something neither of you are ready to name, he says, âYes.â
You inhale slowly, fingers stilling on the weaver as his answer settles between you.
Yes.
It wasnât spoken in jest, nor with the easy arrogance he so often wielded. Instead, it was quieter, more certainâlike an unshakable truth, unburdened by expectation.
You donât know what to make of it.
You cast him a glance from the corner of your eye. Heâs sitting close but not too close, his long legs stretched out before him, arms resting lazily over his knees. His usual grin is absent, replaced by something unreadable, something you cannot name.
The weight of his gaze is different now. Not teasing, not searching for amusementâbut waiting.
You look away first.
Your fingers resume their slow, practiced work, weaving delicate patterns into the fabric, though your thoughts are anything but orderly.
âWhy are you here?â you ask, voice softer than you intend.
A beat passes before he answers.
âBecause you are.â
You swallow.
He leans back onto his hands, tilting his head toward the night sky, moonlight catching in the pale strands of his hair. It makes him look otherworldly, like a figure carved from mythâtoo beautiful, too untouchable.
âIâm not Helen,â you say after a moment, unsure why the words leave your lips. âYou have nothing to gain from this.â
Gojo exhales, a quiet sound, but when he looks at you again, there is something almost amused in his expressionâtouched with something softer, something more patient.
âDo you think I speak to owls for political gain?â
You huff, trying to ignore the warmth threatening to creep up your neck. âI think you do most things for your own amusement.â
He hums, as if considering that. âYou wound me.â
âI doubt that,â you mutter, eyes fixed on your work.
And yetâhis fingers twitch where they rest against the stone. Itâs small, barely noticeable, but your eyes catch it, and you wonder.
Does he want to reach for you?
The thought unsettles you more than it should.
He exhales again, then shifts, leaning forward to rest his arms on his knees, expression thoughtful. âYou know,â he muses, âI had a whole speech planned.â
You raise a brow. âOh?â
âSomething about how I was drawn to you the way sailors are drawn to sirens. That you, unlike any other, have made me question things I thought I knew.â He looks down at his knees, lips pulling in a mischievous smile. âBut with you, I doubt a night of spilling sweet nothings or perhapsâŠother things would have swayed you.â
Your fingers still.
âBut I think Iâve changed my mind,â he continues, tilting his head. âI think Iâd rather just talk to you.â
You stare at him, caught somewhere between wariness and something dangerously close to wonder.
And then, before you can stop yourself, you ask, âWhat would you have said next?â
His lips twitch, and for the first time tonight, there is mischief in his gaze again. âWouldnât you like to know?â
You roll your eyes, but the moment has shifted, lighter now, though something unnamed still lingers beneath it.
âKeep your secrets, then,â you mutter, returning to your weaving.
âYou wound me,â Gojo says again, pressing a hand to his chest as if truly affronted. âHere I am, spilling my heart, and you deny me even a scrap of sentiment.â
You let out a quiet scoff, keeping your focus on your weaving. âPerhaps if your words werenât so dramatic, Iâd be inclined to believe them.â
Gojo gasps. âDramatic?â He leans closer, an almost boyish grin tugging at his lips. âMy lady, I am nothing if not a man of sincerity.â
âOh? So that speech about sirens wasnât an embellishment?â
âNot at all.â He sighs, as if suffering under some great burden. âI wake in the morning thinking of you, I lay my head at night wondering if youâve thought of me at all. Itâs agony, truly.â
You roll your eyes, but your lips betray you, twitching into something dangerously close to a smile. âThat sounds more like a malady than love.â
âAh, but love is a sickness, is it not?â He exhales dramatically. âAnd you, my lady, have made a very ill man of me.â
Despite yourself, a laugh escapesâlight, unguarded, like something slipping past your defenses before you can catch it.
And thenâsilence.
You glance at him, and find him already watching you.
His usual mischief is gone, replaced by something softer, something wholly unprepared. His breath is caught somewhere between his ribs, his lips slightly parted as if the sight of your laughter has stolen the air from him.
And thenâ
A blush, unmistakable even in the moonlight.
Your heart stutters.
Oh.
For the first time, you allow yourself to study him properly. The sharp angles of his jaw, the elegant bridge of his nose, the vivid eyes that hold yours so intently.
He is very handsome.
The thought settles somewhere unexpected, like an admission youâve been avoiding.
Before you can dwell on it, something light catches against your shoulderâa drifting leaf, caught in the folds of your garment.
Gojo moves before you can react.
His fingers brush against the fabric near your collarbone, and then linger, featherlight and warm, as he pulls the leaf free. The moment stretchesâlonger than it should, charged with something unspeakable.
You feel his breath before you see him move, close enough now that the space between you is barely a whisper.
His hand, now free of its task, hesitatesâbefore it trails downward, catching yours in his grasp.
He doesnât say anything, doesnât try to fill the moment with jest. His thumb traces the back of your hand, slow and absentminded, as if memorizing the shape of you.
Your own breath falters.
His breath is warm in the cool night air, his proximity setting something taut beneath your ribs. You are no stranger to flirtation, nor to men who think they can win you with pretty words, but GojoâGojo is different.
Perhaps itâs the way he looks at you now, his usual mischief tempered by something quieter. Or perhaps itâs the fact that, despite his arrogance, despite his clever tongue and tireless persistence, he does not presume to take.
He waits.
A dangerous thing, because it gives you time to notice the way his fingers twitch slightly against the fabric of your sleeve, the way his lips part as if tasting the words before speaking them.
âYouâre staring,â he murmurs, tilting his head.
You arch a brow, feigning indifference despite the heat pooling low in your stomach. âAm I?â
His lips curve. âShould I be flattered?â
You hum, as if considering it. âIâm only making observations.â
âOh?â He steps just a fraction closer, his voice dipping. âAnd what have you observed, my lady?â
âThat you blush quite easily,â you say smoothly, pleased when the faint flush creeps further up his neck. âThat despite your grand declarations, you are, in fact, a little shy.â
Gojo lets out a quiet laugh, shaking his head. âShy? My lady, you wound me.â
âDo I?â You tilt your chin up slightly, your voice softer now, your hand still in his.
His gaze flickers to your lips.
Your breath catches, just for a moment.
And thenâ
His hand moves, fingers brushing along the curve of your jaw before settling at the nape of your neck, his touch deliberate, careful. A question, waiting for an answer.
You donât grant him wordsâonly the tilt of your head, the briefest lean forward.
It is all the invitation he needs.
He kisses you like a secret, like something to be savoredâslow at first, testing, before he grows bolder. His other hand finds your waist, pulling you just a little closer, and warmth floods through you, seeping into your bones.
The world is silent save for the soft hitch of breath, the faint rustle of fabric as he deepens the kiss, as you allow yourself to press into him, fingers curling into the front of his tunic.
For a man who never stops talking, he is utterly wordless now.Â
When you wake up next in the morning, it is grumpy and tired. Not only were you up late into the night, talking to andâŠkissing Gojo of Ithaca, or rather, Satoru (while you were drunk on each other, he had convinced you to call him Satoru), but the sound of Helenâs squealing made your head ring, putting an unbearable pressure onto them.
âHelen!â you scold her, throwing a spare pillow at her. She easily dodges while you sit up in the bed, half-heartedly rubbing your eyes to wipe the sleep from them. As she throws herself onto the foot of the bed, you notice and hear the pitter patter of rain, casting a somber gray light in your bedroom that is occasionally interrupted by Zeusâs thunder, as if the god was angered or sharing a premonition.Â
Shaking off the thought, you scowl at your cousin, whoâs excitedly prattling about things you still have yet to comprehend. âSlow down! Tell me, without spewing all your words at once.â
âFather gave me permission to marry!â she squealed, jumping on you and hugging you closely. She seemed happy, and you loved your cousin very much, even if you did not show it much. Pure affection permeates your countenance, as she continues. âYou know Iâve always wanted to marry him, with his big arms and all. He could totally manhandle me, but you knoooww I love the ones that can whimperââ
âOh my god,â you groan, covering your ears as if scandalized (youâve said much worse to her), but you grin regardless. âWho is the man that you have chosen?â
âWell,â she laughs, flipping her hair off her shoulder, âGojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.â
Your heart drops to your stomach.
What she says next seems to blur together, not registering because you are shocked, your world almost tilted.
Gojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.
It is then you realize belatedly that Helen seems to be calling out to you, and what you notice the most out of anything on her face is the soft smile she has on her face. One that shows that she is fond of Satoru Gojo, that she has affection for him. And who are youâthe girl whose father doesnât wish for her to marry, one that isnât to be promisedâtake that away from Helen, from him?
Gojo has made it clear that he is not here for Helenâbut wouldnât it be better for him and his kingdom (which you discovered last night that he cares so dearly for) for him to marry Helen? A beautiful queen and a wise king.Â
What a match.
You swallow, throat suddenly dry, but you manage a smileâstrained, weak, but a smile nonetheless.
âHelen,â you begin, voice steady despite the storm brewing inside you, âare you certain?â
âOf course!â she beams, oblivious to the way your fingers tighten in the fabric of your bedding. âFather said Gojo has yet to ask officially, but he will, I know it. And why wouldnât he? A match like thisâitâs fate.â
Fate.
What cruel irony.
You remember last nightâGojoâs hands warm against your skin, his laughter pressed against your lips, the way he had murmured your name like a vow.
And yetâ
You look at Helen, golden and radiant even in the gray morning light, her eyes alight with genuine happiness. You love her, truly, and have since childhood. She has always had her pick of men, but there was something softer in the way she spoke of Satoru just now.
The soft smile, the dreamy lilt to her voice.
She wants this.
And what of you?
Your chest aches, but you laugh, the sound lighter than it should be. âYou sound quite taken with him.â
âI am,â she beams, watching you. âHeâs gorgeous! Charming, too. He told me last night that he thinks my eyes are like the sea at sunrise.â
Your stomach twists and it seems that the panic overwhelms you because all you can manage to do is swallow and nod. âWell,â you look at her with a tight smile, âI congratulate you. Let us discuss this matter further over breakfast.â She smiles and squeezes your upper arm in a goodbye, and the touch of it burns.
You donât ever make it to breakfast that day.
It continues raining that day, and itâs quite appropriate for how youâre feeling. The feeling of melancholy permeates the air around you as you lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Usually, you occupy your time by reading or, more likely, weaving, but you couldnât muster the energy to find interest in that either.
Over a man. What a shame.
You were not one to lie idleâyou were constantly praised as a princess wise beyond her years, and it would be wise, in this situation, to move on. Because the man you had grown feelings for is now engaged to your cousin, or, at least, your cousin intends to be engaged with him. And it would be wiser to let it happen, for Helenâs happiness was your happiness.
Sighing, you stuff your face into your pillow and groan, muffled by the linen fabric of your seats. You then decide grudgingly that if youâre not going to leave your room at all, it may be best to shed yourself of your clothing and lay comfortably in your loincloth and mamillare.
But right as you put your hand on your clothing to strip yourself, you hear a noise.Â
The sound comes againâa sharp, rhythmic tap-tap-tap, just barely audible over the rain. You freeze, fingers still curled around the fabric of your chiton, half-peeled from your shoulder. At first, you think it might be a stray branch scraping against the stone, wind-tossed by the storm. But then it happens againâmore deliberate this time, insistent.
Then, looking at the new objects strewn across your balcony, you realize itâs not branchesâitâs pebbles.
You scowl, tying your garments hastily before moving toward the balcony. The rain is gentler now, more mist than storm, clinging to the stone and silvering the world beyond. You grip the railing and peer downâ
And there he is.
Satoru.
Drenched from head to toe, hair plastered to his forehead, a frown curving his lips as he concentrates on where heâs going to throw his pebble next. His stance seems urgent, but youâre so caught up on the fact that heâs here, as if he isnât supposed to be engaged to Helen or be subjected to whatever congratulatory round of alcohol men bestowed upon each other after securing the most beautiful woman alive.
Your heart stutters.
You pull back immediately, breath catching in your throat. You shouldnât have come to the balcony. You shouldnât be looking at him, shouldnât be thinking about this morning when Helenâs voice still lingers in your earsâGojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.
The pebble strikes the stone beside you.
âI know youâre up there,â Gojo calls, tone indecipherable. âAre you really going to ignore me? After all weâve been through?â
You swallow and your voice trembles when you say, âGo away.â
His resulting laughter sounds betrayed, hurt. âYou donât mean that.â
âSatoru,â and you donât know if itâs a plea or a warning. His head tilts, an anguished look on his face as he closes his eyes and sighs.
âYou wound me,â he huffs out a pained laugh, âAfter all, I run the risk of sickness just to see you and tell you that you believe wrong.â
Something is created in you, then. Something dangerous like hope. âWhat?â
But instead of answering, Gojo crouches, then, in one smooth motion, leaps up, catching the edge of the balcony with ease. You barely have time to react before heâs pulling himself over the railing, stepping onto solid ground with practiced grace.
You stumble back, eyes wide. âI told you not to come up.â
âAnd when have I ever listened?â
Thereâs something in the way he looks at you thenâan intensity you arenât prepared for. The air between you is charged, thick with something unspoken, something far too dangerous to name.
He takes a step forward. âI thought you were smarter than this.â
You blink, startled. âExcuse me?â
Gojo exhales, running a hand through his damp hair. âWhy would you ever think it would be Helen?â
Your stomach lurches. âShe saidââ
âShe assumed,â he corrects, cutting you off. âBut I did not accept her. And you let her do that.â His voice drops lower, softer, a stark contrast to the teasing lilt he so often wields. âDo you truly think so little of me?â
You donât answer. You canât. Because if you do, it will come spilling outâthe hope you tried to bury, the ache that settled in your chest the moment Helen uttered those words.
He moves closer, and you donât stop him.
âPrincess,â you can see his ivory lashes with how close he is, his face covered in raindrops, âfor how wise you are, you seem to not have caught on. What animal is the emblem of Athena?â
Blinking, youâre taken aback by the sudden quizzing. âOwl, what about itââ
Oh.
He sees the realization dawn over your face, and now his tense expression melts into a bittersweet smile. âThe goddess of wisdom has been my companion ever since I was a child, helping me attain whatever I needed the most. Whether it be to gain the knowledge one must have to be worthy of being king, or,â he inhales sharply, vibrant eyes scanning over your face vulnerably, âto gain the power to be able to make the wisest, wittiest, funniest, and most beautiful girl Iâve ever known my queen.
âAfter all, I have my witâadd a little of godlike power, and even I could defeat your father. Respectfully,â he adds quickly. He looks anxious you realize, as if he is about to make a risky move, a big ask. Something heâs been anxious to ask, but scared to. His eyes are still scanning you and his hands twitch at his side as he says, âI hesitate to make this decision, to ask you still after knowing the true nature of my desire for youââ
âAsk me what?â
His eyes are fixed on you, and you think that both of your hearts are beating very, very fast at the moment. âWhat do you think, princess?â
The silence that falls is loaded, heavy, and laden with hesitation. Itâs as if a vice has caged its way through your heart, squeezing and squeezing until all the things youâve left unsaid threaten to spill out. Things like I donât want you to marry my cousin. Or yet, even worse, I want you to marry me. âI would not want to throw out my guesses, Satoru,â you instead opt to say, voice soft. âThings like this must be said directly, to not leave any confusion or misunderstandings.â
His jaw tightens, his breath coming harder as he stares at you, something raw and dangerous flickering in his eyes. âI agree. These things should never be left unsaid.â His voice is low, almost seething, but not with angerâno, this is something else entirely, something desperate. âI love you.â The words are unshakable, like a vow. âAnd I refuse to sit here and pretend my thoughts of you are anything less than ruinous. I dream of you in ways no other man is allowed to, ways that would send me to Hades with a smile on my lips. You have bewitched my soul, stolen the breath from my body, and most dangerouslyâyou have claimed my mind.â His voice drops, softer now, but no less intense. âI do not know how to make you believe me, only that I would sooner challenge the gods themselves than let you slip through my fingers. The world could promise me tens of Helen, but there is only one woman I would ever choose.â His hand finds yours, fingers tightening, as his next words fall like an oath.
âYou.â
Your breath stutters, throat tightening as his fingers tighten over yours. His touch is searing, as if the gods themselves have set him aflame, and yet you cannot pull awayâyou do not want to pull away.
âSatoruââ His name slips from your lips like a prayer, and he swears under his breath, his free hand coming up to cradle your jaw, thumb pressing just below your lips, as if he is fighting the urge to kiss you.
âI would tear down Olympus itself if it meant keeping you,â he murmurs, his breath warm against your cheek. âI would make war with the gods, call upon Athena to guide my spear, and spill the blood of any man foolish enough to think they could take you from me.â His voice is rough, almost a growl, and you swear your knees would give way if not for the way he holds you now, as though letting go would be his ruin.
It is reckless, to let yourself lean into him, to let your fingers curl into the fabric of his damp chiton as though you could anchor yourself to him. But he is an anchorâpulling you into something deep, something dangerous, something you know you will not escape from unscathed.
His nose brushes yours, his lips so close that you feel his every breath, his every hesitation. But you see the war in his eyes, the battle between restraint and desire, and for once, you decide to let yourself be selfish.
So you whisper, âThen prove it.â
And that is all it takes for him to break.
His lips crash against yours, urgent and claiming, as if to kiss you any softer would be to deny himself the air he breathes. He groans as your hands tangle in his hair, your body pressing flush against his, his own hands no longer gentle but gripping, desperate, possessive. His teeth graze your bottom lip before he deepens the kiss, one hand trailing lower, pressing against the curve of your waist, then lower stillâ
Thunder crackles, as you gasp out his name. He pulls you both apart, looking anguished as if heâs fighting the urge to keep touching you, to make you moan out his name. Realizing this, you grab his hands and put them on yourself. âMy love,â you say, tenderly, and you see how his pupils dilate in response, âyou may touch meââ
âAre you sure? For if you say that, I may not be able to stop myself from indulging. Because I will take and take, until you can give me no more.â The way he says it, uncharacteristically serious and brows furrowed, makes you heat up even more, dizzy with lust and your pent up longing for the man.
But your response stays the same, paired with a firm nod. âI am surâmmmph.â
He smothers you with his lips before you can finish, cupping your jaw until his hands start to move downwards. They move, tracing the planes of your body, and they are relentless in their explorationâthey grab you possessively, pushing you closer and closer to him until his hands are below your thighs. Satoru maneuvers you until your legs are straddling his waist so that he can pick you up and carry you to your bed.
After he throws you down like carrying you poses to him as much of a challenge as carrying a light potato sack, he admires youâ-thighs clenched, hair splayed around your head like a halo. The skirt of your clothes has inched its way up, exposing your thighs. âGods, you donât know what you do to me.â
But instead of playing the innocent maiden, you look at him through your lashes, laughing. âSatoru, time is of the essence. Flattery will get you nowhereâyou must show it through your actions.â
You didnât know what saying his nameâand prompting him like thatâdoes to him. He meets your lips in a furious kiss once again, this time hand sneaking up your skirt. He meets the fabric of your loincloth, hooking at its sides and pulling them downwards and downwards, until it is hooked off your ankle (not before Satoru leaves it a trailing kiss there, of course. It is only until Satoruâs eyes hone in whatâs in the middle of legs that you realize that you are bare to him. âSatoru, Iââ
âI must do something,â he instead responds, and you look at him in confusion. Heâs moving down your body as you ask him what he means and if somethingâs wrong.
Youâre interrupted by your gasp as his mouth descends on you, leaving hot, openmouthed kisses directly on your core. His tongue delves inside your lower lips, pleasing the nerves and leaving them singing. He undoes you, leaving your legs feeling like jelly, and the fervor he does it with is nauseatingâas if your nectar is ambrosia itself.Â
Soon enough, with his reverent worshipâand a finger or two added to stretch you out and make you emit embarrassing noises that only encourage him furtherâyou come with a cry of his name. As you roll your hips, riding out your climax, his mouth and head follow and trail your hips, unrelenting in pleasuring you even though youâre overstimulated and left quivering.Â
âIââ you blurted, trying to fill the silence after he had just made you taste colors. âI hate you.â
Satoru faux pouts, biting back a grin. âRude thing to say when I just made youââ
âDonât finish that!â you shriek, swatting his head lightly as he laughs, kissing his way back up your body. In a tone more shy than youâd like, you say in a small voice, âBut I hope weâre not done yet?â
Satoruâs made his way up to your clothed breasts, kissing them tenderly. However, when he hears the question, he stills, looks at you with wide eyes, and he groans, as if surprised by your forwardness. âPrincess, the things you do to me.â
He kneads your ass while he stands up, orienting himself into a position to doâthat. A voice in the back of your head reminds you that youâre not supposed to be doing this before you get married, but your lust is too strong. And, after all, you trust that thereâs no way Satoru wouldnât marry you.
You feel a slight pressure in your nether regions, and you realize that it is Satoruâs cock. His eyes are on you, blown out with lust, as he continues to stroke the length of it while observing your every reaction. âAre you sure you want to do this?â
âYes.â
With your confirmation, his eyes next left your face as he pushed in, moving slowly and gently. He gauged your features for any signs of discomfort or pain as he moved in shallow thrusts, gradually increasing their length. You gasped, his murmurs and sweet nothings coaxing out your whimpers and whines as he bumped a spot inside of you. As he did, fireworks erupted in the back of your mind, leaving you boneless as he got you closer and closer to your climax once again.
For someone who didnât experience carnal desires often, you wonder how youâve gone without this kind of pleasure for so long. Satoru made you feel worshipped, tracing kisses with a love that was almost pious. It doesnât take you long after that to come once more, thrashing in his grip.
Your climax sheathed on his cock unlocks something in him, for he begins to thrust harder and faster, becoming sloppier and sloppier. His voice is by your ear, whining your name continuously. When he finally feels himself climb over and finally orgasm, he breathes out an âAh,â and thrusts himself to completely bottom out while his come fills you up, pooling inside of you.
You both stay interlocked for gods know how long. Until Satoru pipes up, voice still unstable and panting, âBy the way, it went unsaid, but Iâm going to marry you. And you canât say no.â
Your resulting giggle makes him break out in a big smile before he hugs you, wrestling you both to lie side by side in bed.
It goes without saying, but it all goes smoothly according to plan.
When Satoru had played with petteia with you, he had aimed to show Athena your wit. It is no small claim to defeat him, a king associated with Athena, in the game. The following events further made Athena approve of you and give her blessing.Â
So Gojo was already ten steps ahead when he asked your father for your blessing. Your father was furious, of courseâhe did not want to let you go. After much cajoling and agreement to beat your father, a champion runner, in a race to attain your hand, Satoru wiped his brow. The way your father loved you would be scary to him if he didnât love you as intensely as he did now.Â
And of course Satoru won. Athena got her fellow Olympian, Hermes, to rent out his infamous speed. When he wins, Sparta is in an uproar, including your cousin.
âSo, how is he?â Helen asks mischievously. You later found out that day that Helenâs words of marrying Gojo had a purposeâto push you both towards each other, once and for all.Â
âI donât know what you mean,â you turn away, with a hmph. Crossing your arms, you pretend to roll your eyes at the knowing look she had.
âI donât know, cousin,â she giggles, âI heard a couple of voices in your room when I tried to visit you a few nights back. Tell me, does he whimperâ-â
âHelen!âÂ
The day you marry, donning beautiful and regal clothes, Gojo sneaks you away multiple times to kiss you under your veil when no one is looking.
His wedding gift is built by himâon the voyage back to Ithaca, he not only takes you away from Sparta, but the olive tree that you both had met at. He builds the shared marital bed out of the olive tree for his queen with his blood and sweat. It is a symbol of your love, everlasting, and you would daresay that it is the most precious gift anyone has ever given you.
What you give him in return is one fat and giggly baby. Your father grumbles that the child looks too much like his father, but the way he holds the babeâso carefully, so gentlyâbetrays his affection. Helen coos at her little nephew, amused at how utterly soft Satoru has become, how the once-cocky king now spends his days doting on both you and your child, as if he has won the world itself.
And perhaps he has.
After all, Satoru has always been a man of ambition. A man who would scheme, fight, and even defy the gods for what he desires. And yet, as he holds your child in one arm and you in the other, murmuring teasing words against your ear before stealing another kiss, you realize somethingâ
He had never needed Athenaâs wisdom, Hermesâ speed, or any other divine favor to win you.
Because you had already been his, just as he had always been yours.

âoh.. o-oh fuckkk toru!â you mewl, your face is shoved into his navy blue bedsheets while your ass is up, back arched intensely.
satoru had gotten a new haircut just in time for valentineâs day. the moment he stepped through the creaking wooden door to your shared home, you practically pounced on him! âyeah? feels soo good huh.. h-hehâ he giggles softly, his rough hands gripping onto the plump of your ass. his rotund tip was reaching deep inside your sobbing cunt, pressing directly on your sweet spot causing you to belt out.
ânngh fuckkk p-please toru, harder ah!â youâre reaching your arms back, subliminally begging him to grab you. he latches onto your hands, using them as momentum while he pounds himself into you. âh-harder? mmngh- this isnât enough for you pretty girl..?â he smiles, the melody of your ass slapping against his hips grows louder.
he releases your arms before pressing his coarse hands into the dimples of your back. heâs angling his hips to hit you deep in that spot you love. âmore! m-more fuckkk- just like that..!â you whine, drooling with your lips slightly parted in awe. you can barely keep your eyes open with how good heâs fucking into your sweet cunt.
âcâmon pretty, fuck me y-yeah?â he slaps your ass, motioning for you to bounce yourself back onto him. you twist your body, left hand gripping your ass cheek while turn back slightly to look him in the eyes as you slide your wet pussy onto him. you feel his hefty balls slap onto your puffy clit deliciously while heâs gripping your ankles trying to spread your legs further apart. âg-give it to me toru.. wanâ it please,â youâre pouting, now youâve really done it.
he pushes your head back into the sheets, fingers wrapping around the back of your neck. âsuch a f-fucking slut- shiiit.. mâgonna cum, where do ya want it- hah..â you got him whining now, he was done for. âi-inside! donât miss- nngh..please mâcumming!â your eyes begin to roll to the back of your head, pussy tightening around his lengthy cock, gushing all over him as you chase your high. heâs rutting his hips into you as long white spurts shoot into your womb causing you to mewl.
âf-feel so full toru..â you whimper as you caressing his arm, his chest coming down flushed right to your back. heâs giving you sloppy kisses to your lips that are gleaming with spit, moaning deeply into your mouth. âyeah? sweet girl.. h-heh..â he moans, still periodically grinding his hips up into you. âone more?â he suggests, you grip his chin, planting a wet kiss onto his lips before tucking your bottom lip in between your teeth. âmhm..â you nod.

oreo: i hope the wait was worth it, thank you for all the love and patience ya'll have given me



Satoru leans next to you, reading off your computer. âGangbang, knife play, bondage, double penetration ya like it kinky.â Youâre too late to close your computer. âHe looks like me.â
Your body is burning, jumping out of your chair and whirling around to face Satoru. âOk and? So what? You already know youâre attractive!â Crossing your arms, glaring into pretty blue eyes. âIs it dumb I would find someone who looks like you hot?!â Satoruâs playful grin spreads into an infuriating cocky smirk.
Satoru slides his fingers through his hair. His black sleeve straining with his bicep flexes. Long snow-white locks fall into his intense, beautiful blue eyes. The silence thickens the air.
Tilting his head to the side, his jawline, thick adamâs apple, his pale neck would be perfect to kiss. âSo defensive.â Smirking, âI like the way youâre looking at me.â Stepping forward, closing the small gap forcing you to look up.
Your cunt is getting wet from the height difference. âIâm not looking at you any type of way.â Jabbing his chest with your finger. His pec is hard, âFuck me!â He leans in, pressing your palm flat on his chest.
Your voice softens, âYou barged into my room nâ spied on my computer!â Squeezing his hard pec, swiping your thumb over his nipple. âYouâve gotten so much bigger.â Sliding your hand down feeling his sculpted abs through his shirt.
You accuse, âYouâve been working out with Toji and Suguru too much.â You turn around facing your desk, flipping him off. âUnless you plan to be anything other than a menace I wanna cum whilst reading my fic. Help me cum or leave!â You softly gasp in surprise when Satoru presses you against your desk with his hard, large body.
He a fistful of your hair yanking it back, spitting on your face. Smearing it with his large hand, crooning, âBut I thought you liked your men big nâ able to throw you around like a doll? Isnât that what you said?â Smearing his spit with his hand, stuffing two fingers in your mouth.
Satoru smacks your ass, squeezing a handful of your stinging cheek. âI could help you cum.â Sticking his fingers, his cock lightly twitching when you gag. âWant me to read your fanfiction out loud for you?â Dragging his fingers out of your mouth.
He lifts your laptop lid up not caring he is smearing spit on the screen. Reading out loud. âHe drags the knife along her inner thigh. She squirms the closer he gets to her soaking.â Sliding your shorts down, roughly smacking your ass
Crying, âWhat if they hear us?â Satoru pushes your underwear aside, gliding a thick finger between your soft lips. Getting his thick finger wet before nudging it in. His long thick finger filling up your cunt shouldn't feel this good.
Satoru outs them, âTojj and Suguru would jerk off off to the sounds of me clapping your cheeks. I could cuck them both.â Your cunt squeezes Satoruâs thick finger fucking your cunt sloppy. âOr you can moan their names, they could join us. You can be the slut who lets us run a train on her, or fuck you all at once.â
Satoru slips his finger out roughly slapping your cunt You whine sweet stinging pain cuts through the stinging pleasure. Slowly fucking his thick fingers into you at a steady pace.
Insisting to you, âYou can write about it after, call it one girl, three cocks nâ three holes." Three more slips, each harder than the last. "Come on say their names, I wanna see you struggle to take Suguruâs fat cock.â
You whine, âToooojiii, Suug!!!! Satoru is being mean to meeeee! Cooommmee helpppp!â
Suguru calls from the hallway, âAw Toru why bother her, she said she wanted to read.â Coming into your bedroom, taking notice of your shorts in the ground. His eyes flicking from those to your sweet soft ass and cunt stuffed with Satoruâs soft fingers.
Satoruâs large body hiding yourâs. Till he steps aside letting Suguru watch how your soft wet cunt takes Satoruâs thick fingers. âWhatâs so mean about this?â Suguru glides his finger in with Satoruâs. âYour cunt is drooling n getting so tight sweetheart.â They pump their fingers in sync.
Suguru squeezes a handful of your ass, his hand larger than Satoruâs. âFuuuck that feels so good! I love having my cunt played with. Donât stop please.â You bend over holding onto your desk, cupping Satoruâs hard cock through his sweats.
You stroke Satoru through his sweats moaning, âSatoru youâre big, wanna you to fuck me hard, make me squirt with your long hard cock.â You clench Satoru and Suguruâs thick fingers with your sloppy wet cunt. Whining when Suguru roughly smacks your ass.
Satoru sneers, âNot even able to pay attention long enough to answer.â He pulls out of your grasp, keeping his thick fingers in your soft wet cunt.
Satoru pushing his sweats down his cock pops out. âWhatâs wrong with how mean Iâm being? Answer me nâ you can touch my cock.â He spits in his hand, smearing it over his cock hand. Groaning as he strokes himself.
You glance over your shoulder admiring the beautiful sight of Satoruâs arm flexing as his large hand strokes his long cock. Thick white pre cum dripping from his pale pink head.
Suguru pushes his gym shorts down, kicking them aside. Grabbing your wrist when you try to touch him. You whine, âNnnnothingâs wrong!â Their fingers graze your sweet spot your body tingles with overwhelming pleasure.
Your thighs are trembling, toes curling into the carpet, slick dripping down your thigh. You confess, âI want you to y'all to help Satoru bully my cunt, make me the house whore, I wanna be the one y'all stuff your cocks in when it gets hard. Please lemme be your pretty cumdump.â
Toji barges into your bedroom, demanding, âWhy do I care if he's being mean?!â He slips his large headphones off his head and sets them on your dresser. âPrincess,â his scarred smirk looks predatory, âI can show you mean, they are spoiling your sweet little cunt right now. Iâd fuck ya like I hate ya, make sure you canât walk.â Toji wastes no time ripping your underwear off to get a better view of your stuffed cunt. Slowly stuffing two fingers in.
Your jaw drops with a loud moan. Youâre naked with your three incredibly hot roommates fucking their thick fingers into you. It's a situation you'd masturbate to.
Satoru strops stroking himself, standing next to your face. Letting out a softly sigh in relief when wrap your lips around him. Groaning dropping his head forward, watching his cock vanish within your mouth.
Suguru tells Toji, âSatoru found out our sweetheart is a smutty fanfic reading pervert, gangbang. Nâ now she wants to be the house whore, sounds kinky, Iâm down.â He moves next to your head.
Suguru glides his fingers out smearing your slick on his cock. Grabbing your laptop, sliding it over for him to scroll to the warnings reading. âBondage, squirting, anal, double penetration-one hole/triple penetration, With some face fucking, face slapping, and light knife play? Iâll be right back.â He rushes out of the room.
Satoru glides his fingers out, sticking both in his mouth to lick clean. He roughly grabs your hair fucking your soft wet mouth. With his balls slapping your chin.
Toji pumps his fingers faster. Quickly finding that sweet spot that made your soft cunt quiver. "Can I fuck your ass?" Satoru slips his cock out with a soft pop letting you breathe.
Pleading "Fuck whichever hole you want." Toji spits on your asshole and stuffs his spit in with his thumb. Slowly pumping his thumb letting your soft hole adjust. "Nn it feels weird but good!â
You cup and massage Satoru's balls, kissing and licking his warm cockhead. His cock standing up eager for attention making it easy to suck and kiss without using your hands.
You look up into his beautiful ocean-blue eyes and plea, âEven if Iâm asleep I want you to spread my legs and do what you want to my cunt.â Taking his long, pretty cock in your mouth bobbing your head.
Satoru groans, his cheeks flushing a dark pink, âFuuuuuccck!â He grabs your head holding you still. âYouâre a dirty pervert who wants to wake up to Suguru eating you out as Toji and I jerk off onto your face.â He tightens his grip on your hair, slowly fucking your face, testing and getting off on your gag reflex.
Satoru groans, âWe could cover you in cum, make your sloppy wet cunt sore.â Fucking your mouth faster, some spit drips down your chin. Smearing onto his balls with each soft smack.
Toji squeezes your cheek whilst tugging on your asshole stretching you out. Steadily stroking your sweet spot getting you so close to cumming. Your thighs tremble, toes curling into the carpet.
Toji groans, "She's dripping." Fingering your tight, sloppy wet cunt faster. Refusing to let up on your sensitive sweet spot. "Are you really cumming for us that quickly?" His thumb glides in your asshole easier.
Satoru glides his cock out of your mouth. "Whatcha thinkin' sweetheart?" Toji's thick fingers in your cunt, and thumb in your ass make it difficult to think. "She's already getting dumber, can't answer a simple question." Satoru softly slaps your cheeks with his hard cock then stuffs your face into his balls.
Without another thought you open your mouth to softly suck Satoru's balls. Suguru comes back in, dumping a bag full of toys onto your bed. "Here are some butt-plugs, dildos. cock rings, ropes, o ring, and for you Toji," He grabs a strap with a thick dildo dangling from it. "You can fuck both holes; the dildo will need to be above your cock."
Toji glides his fingers out of your ass. Whilst Suguru pulls the toy out of his grasp. "Actually, here is disinfectant. We don't want to get our cock sleeve sick and be out of commission." Toji grabs the packet with his cleaner hand. Forcing the lid open and tugging out a wipe.
Suguru drops the strap on. onto the bed leaving Toji to help himself to it when ready. He grabs the knife off the bed, flicks out the blade, and returns to your computer.
Satoru pulls his balls out of your face, tugging you up by your hair. Then Suguru's words hit and you retort, "Commission implies I'm paid and if that's the case I'mma need more than just dick for payment. I'm too broke." Suguru turns around pressing the knife to your throat whilst sweetly grinning down at you.
Suguru insists, "If you wanna be our sugar baby get on your knees and beg for it." Satoru let go of your hair. stepping aside to give you room to kneel.
You don't have the chance to speak before Satoru adds, "If you beg well enough, I could cover your half of the rent." He grabs the collar with its leash off the bed, "I already get your broke-ass food."" He carefully wraps the collar around your neck, fastening the clasp, then tugging on the leash.
Toji decides, "Satoru is rich enough to be your sugar daddy, my cock and cuddles will be payment enough." He grabs a bottle of lube and a small buttplug off the bed.
Suguru tilts your head up with the knife. "Bullshit you'll get her lingerie for her to wear." He glances at Toji, "What about that maid outfit she suggested after bitching about cleaning up after Satoru and You?" He looks down at you, dark thick hair framing his handsome face.
You decide, "They've been cleaner, so I could wear it as a reward. Clean your balls of every last drop of cum. Of course, you get my undivided attention first for always helping keep this place clean." Suguru is beautiful with his broad shoulders, thick pecs, and sculpted abs. His black happy trail leads to short well-trimmed hair and his thick hanging cock.
Suguru glides the sharp knife's tip up your chin to your bottom lip. "I want to see you in that see-through underwear with the maid outfit." He glides the knife along your lip, dragging it up your cheek.
Satoru glances at Suguru, "How do you know she has something like that?"
You take Suguru's cock in your mouth, swirling your tongue around his head. His warm pre-cum is sweet and thick coating your tongue. There is so much pre-cum you can't help but suck harder, licking his small dripping slit.
Suguru groans, "I wash everyone's clothes that means her's too." Gliding the knife to the side of your head. You are slowly gliding Suguru deeper into your mouth with a loud moan.
Toji states, "Pineapple is the safe word to start aftercare." Lubbing up the butt-plug
Suguru sets the knife on the desk behind him. He holds your head still with a tight grasp on your hair. He stuffs his cock deep into your throat holding your head down and suffocating you.
Suguru suggests "Lift her ass up and stick it in her then." Satoru hands Toji the leash, watching Toji wrap his arm around your waist helping you partly stand up into a bent-over position.
Satoru suggests, "Why not go ahead n' tie our pretty slut up in a mating press. We can tug her around on the bed by the leash." He stands next to you spreading your cheeks apart for Toji.
Toji smirks, "We could do that." Tugging on the leash and Suguru's firm grasp on your hair keeps you from budging. The thick leather collar presses into your cock stuffed throat. Suguru groans, shallowly pumping his hips fucking your mouth slowly.
Toji lines the tip of the plug up with your asshole gliding it in. Smearing lube with each swirl and pump. Your cunt clenches around nothing from the pleasure of your ass stretching for the toy.
Suguru bottoms out giving you seconds to breathe. Before stuffing his cock back in to quickly fuck throat. He grabs the knife off the desk lightly dragging it across your back. You can't help but squirm, the air in your lungs escaping in a cry Suguru muffles with his cock.
Toji pushes the butt plug in, "Let's tie our new slut up." Satoru lets go of your cheeks. Whilst Toji moves to the other side of your bed dragging you with him.
.Suguru turns towards your laptop picking it up, setting the knife down. He scrolls through the fic skimming it.
Toji straddles your head his balls resting on your forehead and eyes. His thick cock nudging your lips smearing bitter pre-cum. You open your mouth groaning when he rocks his hips forwards.
He brings the laptop over, sitting on the bed next to you. "Do you want Satoru and I to act out the making out part while we are inside you?" He glances from the laptop down at you. Where Satoru is binding your legs together with the dark red rope.
Satoru taunts, "You don't have to use the fanfic as a reason to kiss me again." Making kissy faces at Suguru who rolls his eyes and grabs his friend by the neck pulling him closer.
Suguru nudges Satoru's mouth open with his thumb and spits. Satoru swallows, grabbing Suguru's cock and swirling his fist as he strokes him. Suguru groans, "I know." He leans in biting down on Satoru's bottom lip. The needy cry he makes your cunt clench.
Suguru pulls away, "Finish tying her up and let Toji have fun with her mouth." He stuffs his thumb into Satoru's mouth for him to suck on. "Then I want you to shove your pretty face into her beautiful cunt so you can put that annoying ass mouth to good use." He lets Satoru go.
He glides his thumb over Suguru's fat cockhead smearing pre-cum. He sticks his thumb in his mouth groaning from tasting Suguru's pre- cum.
Suguru sets the laptop down on top of a pillow, scrolling through the fic. "Cum spitting? Satoru when we cum in her you can eat it out and share it with her."
Satoru is quick tying at you in a mating press. "Are you gonna let me eat our creampie out of your cunt?." He slaps your cunt four times, pinching your clit. Your trembling, eyes stinging with tears.
Satoru grabs a vibrator turns it on and holds it to your clit. Slowly swirling it, stoking your soft sensitive nub. He stuffs his face into your cunt Suguru orders him "Keep your ass in the air."
He shifts keeping his face in your sloppy wet cunt putting his ass in the air. Satoru is giving Suguru a perfect view of his cock and balls. Suguru grabs a thin dildo with lube which he pours onto the tip before setting the lube aside.
Suguru lines the thin dildo up with Satoru's ass. Smacking his cheek. your sloppy wet cunt muffling Satoru's whine. Suguru nudges the head in, spitting in his hand and grabbing Satoru's cock.
Satoru lifts his head, "You arennnnnnn!" He moans when Suguru stuffs the thin dildo deep into Satoru's ass. Turning it on, leaving it on the highest setting, keeping it still, it's head pulsing against Satoru's g spot. "Fuck!" Suguru stuffs Satoru's head into your cunt.
Toji glides his cock out before he cums in your mouth. Pinching your nipple to hear your breathy whines get louder. He tugs on the leash, moving his hand to let you get a view of Satoru being a moaning mess between your legs with Suguru stuffing his ass.
Suguru looks at you and smirks, "Why not show him what it's like living with him? A pain in the fucking ass." Satoru bites your thigh in between the rope. Stopping when you cry. He licks the bite mark then stuffs his face into your soaking-wet cunt.
Satoru glides his tongue through your lips. Stroking your clit with the toy faster. Your cunt clenching his tongue. Satoru grabs the plug quickly fucking your asshole with it.
Toji orders, "Open your mouth and stick your tongue out." Slapping his cock on your tongue. Stuffing his thick fat into your mouth with a groan. Your eyes sting with tears as you choke on him.
He pinches, twists, and tugs on your soft nipple. "Fuck her soft wet mouth feels so good on my cock." You pull Satoru's hair, struggling to reflexively arch your back, feebly twisting your hips away from Satoru. He rubs your clit faster with the toy, sending you over the edge.
Your gushing into Satoru's mouth, your body trembles with your toes curling. Toji's thick cock muffles your moans. Toji groans, "Look at that our slut can squirt." Satoru sets the toy aside still vibrating.
Suguru grabs Satoru's hair making you let Satoru's hair go. You watch as Suguru lifts Satoru up out of your cunt by his hair. Fucking the dildo faster into Satoru's ass. Suguru lets his hair go spitting into his palm and grabbing Satoru's cock swirling his fist.
Suguru croons, "Are you getting close? You wanna cum on her pretty cunt then stuff it in with your sensitive cock?" Satoru whines unable to answer until Suguru is pulling the toy out of him.
Satoru cries, "Why did you stop?" His cock throbbing from the lack of stimulation. Missing the feeling of being full of getting his g-spot fucked.
Suguru quickly retorts, "Why won't you stop waking me up when you crawl into my bed?"
You grab Toji's thick muscular thigh digging your nails in. He glides his cock out of your mouth, slipping off the bed. He yanks you upright by the leash, causing the leather collar to dig into your sore throat.
You grab the leather prying it away from your throat. Toji leans down, "What's your color beautiful?" Twisting you around and laying you on your back with your butt dangling off the edge of the bed.
You plea, "Green please I wanna cock in my cunt or ass!" Toji cups your cheek hanging off the edge of the bed. Softly messaging your cheek then roughly slapping your ass. The force of the thrust makes you lightly bounce.
He unwinds the leash, asking you, "What about both?" He hands the leash to Suguru who shoves a pout Satoru aside. He dramatically face plants into the pillow that Toji rips out from underneath him.
He sits up and points at both Suguru and Toji, "Yall are both assholes, why she wants your dick in her is beyond me. Fucking hell, not letting me cum, shoving me to the side, and stealing a pillow out from under me."
You chime in with, "Don't cry on my other pillows either." His eyes widen, his fingers lower and his bottom lip trembles.
Satoru's voice cracks "Et tu?"
"Call me brutus."
Toji grumbles, "Suguru stuff her mouth these two are killing it mentioning some random ass dude's name and speaking gibberish." Suguru tugs you closer to the middle of the bed. Where Toji grabs your ass and lifts you up stuffing the pillow underneath you.
Satoru crawls over and lays down next to you. You grab his cock, still wet with Suguru's spit. He softly kisses your cheek ignoring Suguru's cock dangling close by. He turns your head by your chin to steal a kiss. You can taste yourself on his tongue.
"Annoying ass thief I'm glad I didn't let you cum yet." Swirling your hand along Satoru's cock. His moans are beautiful, breathy, and needy. You could touch yourself listening to him moan.
Toji dips his head into your cunt licking up the sweet mess with loud groans. His nose occasionally nudges your soft, sensitive clit. He grabs the plug and tugs it out, setting it on your bed without giving a fuck. Softly biting your cunt's lips when you start to complain.
You break the kiss leaving Satoru's mouth at Suguru's mercy. Lifting your head looking down at Toji asking, "Did you bite me?" He slaps your cunt as Suguru nudges Satoru's lips with his cock.
You look to see Suguru grabbing Satoru's neck causing the chain leash to dig in. His thick cock glides past Satoru's glossy lips. His balls hit the top of Satoru's head. Heâs so beautiful getting face fucked.
Toji grabs the male strap-on, steps into it, and sets the dildo above his own cock. He tightens the straps making sure it's comfortable and secure. He climbs onto the bed, holding both and lining himself up.
He nudges your ass with his warm, thick cock head. Swiping the cool dildo between your cunt's soft wet lips. Smearing your slick down it and gliding his cock head in. You reach down flattening your hand on Toji's hard abs.
There is a sweet pleasurable pain from Toji splitting your ass open. "Nnfuck your cock is going in! Put the other one! Please! Please! Pleeease!" Moaning when he gives you just the tip of your dildo. Stretching your wet cunt out alongside your lubed-up.
Suguru slips his cock out of Satoru's mouth. Satoru grabs your chin and roughly kisses you. And all you can taste is Suguru when Satoru's tongue rubs your's. You moan into his mouth when Toji's hips hit yours, roughly and quickly filling you up with both cocks.
He strokes your clit with his thumb, slowly rocking his hips, keeping a slow steady pace. He groans, "Fuck I don't think I can last long the dildo in her pretty cunt is pushing against my cock. Her ass is so soft n' tight, she's gonna make me bust too quickly."
Suguru grabs the bottle of lube off your side table handing it to Toji. He pulls out till the tips of the dildo and his cock are tugging both sloppy wet holes. He carefully pours a line of lube on his cock, then gives the bottle back.
Toji grabs a part of the rope binging your thigh by your side. "Stupid little slut keeping my cock hard walking around the house looking so damn fuckable." He uses that to pull you towards him as he slams into you. The dildo brushes your sweet spot with the perfect pressure to make you lose your mind.
Suguru sets the bottle aside, spitting in his hand and stroking his cock. Admiring Satoru and You making on the bed, your soft hand stroking Satoru's pretty cock. Smearing his thick white pre-cum down his cock with swipes of your thumb.
Your soft moans sound so beautiful alongside Satoru's needy whines. Suguru groans "I can't wait to feel the both of you."
Toji roughly fucks both cocks into you without mercy. Stroking your soft clit with his rough thumb, the bed rocking, your body would be harshly bouncing away if not for his grasp on the rope. The course rope rubs and presses more into your thigh.
Toji decides, "This house slut thing works whenever my cock gets hard I'll come to you." Fucking you harder, adding more pressure to your sensitive clit. Each quick stroke of your sweet spot has your mind going blank.
You can't focus enough to stroke Satoru's cock. He grabs your hand and sloppily fucks your hips. Suguru sticks his cock in between Satoru and You. You lick and kiss one side with Satoru sucking and licking the other. Your tongue brushing Satoru's.
You clench Toji with your ass and his massive beautiful muscular body trembles. He hunches over biting your chest, flicking your nipple with his tongue. His pace becoming sloppy. He lets you go and grunts, "Nn fuuuuck I don't wanna cum in ya yet mama wanna keep feeling you."
"Please cum, wanna feel your thick warm cum in my ass." Toji picks his pace keep, franticly fucking his cock into your soft warm ass. The sound of skin smacking skin joins the grunts, groans, and creaking of your bed. "Please daddy!" Toji busts instantly his thick warm cum shooting in your ass with a force you can feel.
Suguru pulls away and Satoru lets your hand go. He gets on his knees and grabs Suguru's hand pulling him in for a rough kiss. Leaving you all to Toji. He leans over, keeping enough space between to play with your soft sensitive clit.
His thick hard pecs into your face. You wrap your arms around him clawing his backside up with one hand. Burying your face into his chest, tugging on his hair. You can't help but bite down hard. The way Toji whines is getting you off.
He stops with his cock and dildo deep in you, keeping his cum from spilling out. "I couldn't stop cumming." He sits up out of your grasp, looking for another buttplug. "There's so much that I fucked deep into your ass." Snagging the biggest one, its thickest point is still thinner than Toji's cock.
Slowly pulling his cock and dildo out, slipping the plug in. He croons, "Can't let it drip out while Satoru and Suguru are fucking both their cocks into your messy slutty cunt." He kisses your forehead. "Ya did good for me, took my cock so well. How does your ass feel?"
You smile up at him, "Sore but good." He softly kisses you, keeping it short and quick. Pulling away Toji is quick to get out of the strap-on.
"I'll leave you at these two's mercy n' I'll be back for aftercare." He smirks, "Good luck you already look like a tired whore." He slaps your cunt then leaves you at Satoru and Suguru's mercy.
You look to see Suguru and Satoru sloppy kissing each other. Suguru has his large hand around both cocks, holding them together. Satoru slowly grinds his hips, rubbing their cocks together.
You suggest, "Why not rub your dicks together in me?"
Suguru breaks away from Satoru and drops the leash. "And here Toji was wishing her luck." He grabs his knife off the desk. "After all that she is already ready for more." Suguru lifts you up by your throat. His fingers are beneath the leather collar.
You feel so perfectly helpless and vulnerable tied up, held in the air by your throat. With two big guys about to sandwich in between their hard chest. You're about to feel their cocks rubbing together inside you after watching them make out.
Suguru and Satoru line their cocks up. Suguru lightly nudges past your lips. Satoru is rubbing down your slit, groaning when he feels Suguru's cock head brush his. Then gliding his wet head to your clit, stroking you.
You can't shift your hips to sink yourself down on Suguru's cock. Satoru remembers, "Weren't you about to show us how a whore begs to be a sugar baby?" You're clenching nothing, aching to feel them both.
Suguru grabs your hip, and Satoru squeezes your other hip. He presses the knife to your neck whilst glides his head in. Teasing you with his tip before pulling out. He swirls his cockhead in small circles o your clit.
Satoru taunts, "Before we double stuff your messy little cunt tell us what you are?" He loves the sight of your soft pretty nub touching his pale pink cock head.
You confess, "I'm a needy cock loving pervert who spends too much time reading smut and playing with her cunt. Please fuck me into a mindless mess then pamper me afterwards." Satoru lines himself up, with their strength they can stuff their cocks in together.
You loudly cry from the overwhelming sweet pain. Digging your nails into Satoru's hard pec whilst reaching behind you. Grabbing a handful of Suguru's hair. You are desperate to ground yourself, but they don't give you a chance.
Their pace is uneven causing their cocks to stroke each other's. Satoru grabs your hair. "Pretty little slut you gonna eat the creampie Suguru and I make if I spit it into your mouth?"
You can't think of a response. It's impossible to think with their cocks stirring your guts up and the cool metal of the knife against your neck.
Suguru croons, "We just stuck our cocks in, are you really this easy to break?" His pace is harder but slower than Satoru's. His cockhead reaches just beneath Suguru's but he's thicker pressing Satoru against your g-spot with intense pressure.
Satoru points out with a cocky smirk, "Our slut only had enough energy to beg for more cock." He slips his finger underneath the collar tugging on it. "We should get her one just for her. What do you want your collar to say? Should it say brat, house slut, or cock sleeve?" You're so full, their cocks reaching so deep.
Suguru looks down into your eyes and groans, "She's such a pretty whore taking both our cocks in her soft wet cunt." Satoru's pace falters, his cock lightly twitching, veins pulsing. "You close already? With her tight cunt pressing our cocks together I feel the pulsing of your cock."
Satoru whines "Can't help it I was so close earlier n' I really wanna cum." He leans down softly kissing you, cupping your cheek. Gently cradling your face like he isn't bullying your sore, sensitive soaking-wet cunt with his cock.
Suguru slips his hand in between Satoru and You, flicking your nipple with the knife. There is an exciting fear that he could cut you at any moment. Part of you hope he does when he glides the knife lightly across your thigh in between the ropes.
Satoru whines, his pace falters, slowly down and getting harder. Satoru moans as thick warm cum trickles from his cock in short quick bursts. He grabs your bound thigh and digs his nails into your skin between the tight rope.
Suguru groans picking his pace up chasing his high. Fucking Satoru's thick cum deeper into you getting you off. Satoru breaks the sloppy, rough kiss and whines, "Fuck her soft cunt, your soft yet hard cock both is too much. I wanna do this again later, please I wanna cock warm with both of our cocks in her."
Your soft cunt squeezing their cocks is becoming too much for Satoru. He pulls out, getting on his elbow and licking where Suguru and You connect. Your trembling, eyes rolling back, tears trickling down your face.
"Look me in the eyes and lemme see you crying." Suguru wraps his large hand around your neck tilting your head up. He stares into your eyes, fighting to keep his pace steady. Satoru groans, "Cum in her, lemme taste you both." Suguru falters, stopping with his cock balls deep in your sloppy cunt.
His thick warm cum steadily pours into you from his fat head. "You're both beautiful filthy cum loving perverts." Satoru gets on his knees grabbing you by the rope. He bounces you on Suguru's thick cock making him tremble.
Slowly Satoru lifts you off Suguru's cock. Softly laying out down, slowly pulling out the buttplug, and carefully undoing the rope, checking over for any burns.
Suguru accuses, "That was a bitch move." Carefully unfastening your collar and lightly massaging your sore neck. Their actions are a wonderful gentle contrast to how they were manhandled and fucked you a moment prior.
Satoru retorts, "So was edging me." He flips Suguru off who rolls his eyes.
Satoru softly peppers kisses along the sore indention of the rope's pattern in your thighs. "There is no rope burn, but I don't want you to try and walk anywhere. Get one of us to carry you if need be." He dips his tongue into your sloppy cunt getting a thick mix of cum in his mouth.
Kissing you softly spitting the cum into your mouth. Then pulling away, softly encouraging you, "Swallow, good, that's it. Such a good slut."
Toji comes back into the room, "I got a bubble bath going in Suguru's bathroom along with some candles. I'm not getting in but one of you can." He checks his phone. "In an hour the food I put on Satoru's card will be here."
Satoru stretches your legs out, softly massaging your thighs. "I feel too good right now to care how you got that information." He slips off the bed, leans over to pick you up, cradling you to his chest. "I'll take a bath while Suguru can do the laundry he prides himself on doing."
Suguru suggests, "We should flip a coin to see who gets to bathe with her and who washes the bedding."

Note
Can you write a fic between Bucky and an avenger reader (maybe sheâs just a little older than Peter (like sheâs in her mid 20s)and she always had a crush on Bucky)
notes: thank you for sending this in ! i hope you enjoy
warnings: fluff, mentions of night terrors
summary: you think youâre too young for Bucky to be interested in you. ironically, Bucky thinks heâs too old for you to be interested in him
âSo how did that date go?â Wanda asks while watching you mindlessly scroll through the selection of movies Tony has on the entertainment room TV.
âI bailed,â Natasha admits shamelessly with an innocent shrug, prompting both Wanda and yourself to turn to her in shock. âIâm not really interested in giving up my personal time for something as trivial as a blind date.â
You hum thoughtfully at her response, only half listening as Wanda begins to pester her for more details about the man she had stood up. The three of you are enjoying a rare night of peace in the tower after forcing the men to vacate the premises and allow you to have the space to yourselves. The three of you are outnumbered on the team, so sometimes a break from the intense amounts of testosterone are needed for you all to decompress. Girlâs night is a simple tradition, but you all enjoy each otherâs company more than anything.
âWhat about you, y/n?â Natasha prompts while gently nudging your side and breaking you from your daze. âAny guys out there you think are first date material?â
You shift uncomfortably now that the spotlight is on you and try to mask the embarrassment that washes over you in response to the question. You know your answer, but you think youâd rather die than admit the truth. You try to remain as nonchalant as possible by offering a seemingly uninterested shrug and answering with a quiet âNo,â but you unfortunately canât hide the truth from a mind reader.
âShe has a crush on Barnes,â Wanda blurts out before she can stop herself, causing your eyes to widen in horror at being exposed. Natasha lets out an amused huff while her counterpart quickly utters out apologies. âIâm so sorry, I didnât mean to say it. Itâs just your thoughts get so loud when you think about him.â
âYou donât need to be a mind reader to know that,â Natasha jokes much to your dismay.
âIs it really that obvious?â You groan before allowing your head to fall back against the couch in defeat. Wanda pats your arm sympathetically, obviously still guilty about her slip up. Youâre just thankful no one else is in the tower other than the three of you.
âNot to him,â the Widow consoles with a faint smile, âthe man isnât exactly the greatest at navigating social interactions. But Iâve seen the way you look at him from across the room and how your eyes light up when Steve puts you together on missions. You like him.â
âItâs pathetic, I know,â you admit with a defeated sigh, looking between the two in despair. âI donât even know how it happened! One day weâre just teammates and the next Iâm suddenly realizing just how blue his eyes are instead of paying attention to a debrief.â
âThereâs nothing pathetic about your feelings,â Wanda says with a comforting smile, âitâs only natural. Maybe you should try talking to him about it.â
You look at her as if sheâs grown a second head before scoffing at her suggestion. âYouâre kidding, right? Thereâs no way Iâd ever be his type. Besides, he probably sees me as some kid considering Iâm only twenty-six and heâs basically a hundred years old.â
Natasha canât help but to let out a small chuckle at your predicament before taking the remote from your fidgety hands. You donât exactly appreciate her amusement towards your self-depreciating rant, but you know she means well, and you also know you have a tendency to be a bit dramatic.
âDonât sell yourself short, y/n/n,â she advises before finally deciding to hit play on a random comedy movie. âRemember that youâre the prize, and any guy or girl would be lucky to have you. Besides, youâll never know what could happen if you donât give it a shot.â
The conversation ends there as your trio becomes engrossed with the movie, but her words linger on your mind for the rest of the night. You really doubt Bucky could have anything but platonic feelings for you, and it would be embarrassing to confess your feelings only to have him shoot you down. You donât think you could show your face around the tower again if that were to happen, but you also know that you would give anything to win the super soldierâs heart.
Your inner turmoil persists, and you go to bed that night unsure of how to move forward.
~~~
âBarnes, y/l/n, how are you holding up?â
âWeâre pretty much fucked, Cap,â you grunt into your earpiece after being slammed against a wall. You thought the room had been cleared, but you were soon proven wrong by the assailants who had been hiding in the shadows waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Bucky was currently taking on three on his own while you tried to fight off the woman who seemed hell bent on killing you. âIf I survive this will I still be written up for swearing?â
âFocus, y/n,â Natashaâs voice chimes in. âDo you guys need backup?â
You manage to chance a glance over at Bucky and see that heâs fairing rather well on his own, and after returning your attention back to your own attacker, you swiftly lift your knee so that it slams into her gut and forces her to stumble back. It doesnât take you long to disarm her and render her unconscious so that she no longer proves to be a threat, and youâre finally able to return to your own task.
âNo, weâre good. Bucky should be able to hold them off while I plant the chip into the computer system,â you finally reply before setting to work. âIt shouldnât take long.â
âI hope so because theyâve got reinforcements already on the way,â Tony alerts over the earpiece. âYou need to be out of there within the next five minutes.â
âYep, you got it,â you affirm before looking over your shoulder to see Bucky finishing off the last of your attackers. His broad shoulders rise and fall with his labored breaths, hair falling perfectly into place and blue eyes looking up to meet your gaze. You swallow nervously and return your attention to the computer in an attempt to act inconspicuous. Luckily for you, the files you came for have been uploaded. âAlright, letâs get out of here before someone slams me up against another wall.â
âWhat?â Bucky retorts, eyebrows scrunched in confusion and cheeks slowly turning red at your poor choice of words. You pay him no mind and begin your trek towards the exit, though your stomach flips at the mere thought of having him cage you in against a wall and having you at his complete mercy. You shudder and try to shake the thoughts away, but itâs hard to do so when the man in question is right beside you matching your brisk pace.
âYou okay?â He asks, eyes scanning your figure for any sign of injuries.
âDefinitely going to have a bruise in the morning, but itâs nothing I canât handle,â you note with an easygoing smile.
âIâm on dinner duty tonight,â Bucky notes thoughtfully before kicking down the doors and clearing your path to the outside. âYou interested in lending a hand?â
âOh, definitely. You and Steve canât be trusted with dinner anymore after the last time.â
âIâll have you know tuna casserole was a popular dish back in my day,â he retorts defensively only to make you laugh instead.
âOkay, grandpa, whatever you say,â you giggle much to his annoyance. He retaliates by playfully nudging your side with his elbow so that you stumble away, but he canât hide the amused smile on his face at your antics.
âItâs about time,â Tony retorts impatiently after you two finally make it to the Quinjet. âIâd appreciate some sense of urgency, you know.â
âYou said be back in five minutes, itâs only been three,â you reply defensively only to earn an eye roll from the man.
âYou and Barnes can flirt with each other on your own time,â he quips to your dismay. You immediately feel yourself heat with embarrassment and do everything your power to avoid looking at Bucky who shifts uncomfortably beside you.
âWe werenât-â Bucky starts to say only for Tony to interrupt.
âI donât need the details, I just need both of your butts on the quinjet now.â
Youâre mortified as you step foot inside where the rest of the team sits waiting. All eyes land on you and Bucky, and you try to ignore their gazes as you take your seat beside Wanda.
âIf it makes you feel any better,â she whispers after leaning in closer to you, âhis thoughts about you are loud, too.â
You swallow nervously and chance at a peek at the super soldier only to find heâs already looking right at you. You immediately turn your gaze towards the floor before sinking down sullenly into your seat.
Itâs going to be a long flight home.
~~~
The tower is silent when you make your way to the living room in search of a distraction from the terrible nightmare youâd just endured. Your body still trembles with unease despite the blanket you have wrapped tightly around your figure, and it was times like these where you heavily contemplated begging Wanda to use her powers on you despite her reluctance to manipulate your mind.
There isnât anything good playing this late on TV, but you donât mind watching reruns of old sitcoms if it means you donât have to sit in silence. You fixate your gaze on the screen, but youâre hardly paying any mind to your surroundings as you simply begin to dissociate. No one knows about the night terrors or the bad dreams that plague you after missions; you fear coming off as weak or unprepared for the life of an Avenger by telling any of your teammates about your dilemma, so youâve learned to deal with it on your own by escaping through trivial distractions.
Youâre so lost in thought that you donât detect the presence of someone else in the room until a hand rests on your bare shoulder. You jump, obviously startled as your wide eyes look to the perpetrator sitting beside you. Bucky immediately yanks his hand back and raises his hands in surrender, his features apologetic at having startled you.
âSorry, sorry,â he immediately says. âI tried calling your name first but you werenât exactly responding. You okay?â
âYeah, I um- sorry,â you utter with a soft shake of your head before swallowing, âI just got lost in thought I guess.â
âAnything you want to talk about?â
You normally would have insisted you were fine and tried to change the topic, but there was something about the gentleness in his eyes and the comfort his presence brought you that made it easier for you to open yourself up. You sigh, shifting in place so that youâre facing him now. He offers you a an encouraging smile and already you can feel yourself melting.
âSometimes I have night terrors,â you confess quietly, almost embarrassed to admit it out loud. âThey usually tend show up after a mission or an intense fight. When they happen I just come out here and watch some TV until my brain shuts up enough for me to get some sleep. Pathetic, huh?â
Despite the humorless laugh you let out, Bucky frowns before uttering, âI donât think thatâs pathetic at all. I get it. This job is tough, and sometimes you see things you canât unsee no matter how hard you try. Donât beat yourself up for having a normal human reaction to trauma.â
âYou sound just like a therapist,â you tease, prompting him to let out a sheepish laugh in return.
âI may have picked up a thing or two in therapy myself,â he admits. A beat passes before he takes your hand in his own and gives it a reassuring squeeze. âJust know that if you ever need help chasing the nightmares away, Iâm right here.â
Your heart pounds in your chest while the warmth of his hold encompasses your hand and spreads throughout your entire body. His eyes are full of sincerity, but you also detect something that youâve never seen from him before. This look is different than the ones he normally gives you, more intimate, and you find yourself nervously biting the inside of your cheek while trying to decipher what it could be.
âThank you,â you finally voice with a tired smile. Wanting to lighten the mood, you ask, âHow come youâre up this late, anyway?â
âMade the mistake of having a cup of coffee after dinner,â he confesses with an embarrassed chuckle. âYou mind if I keep you company?â
âOf course not, silly,â you retort as if itâs the most absurd question youâve ever heard.
You and Bucky settle into a comfortable silence as you tune in to the sitcom playing on the TV screen. A sense of calm has washed over your body now that youâre no longer being tormented by the remnants of your nightmare, but thereâs still a part of you that remains nervous around the man you secretly harbor feelings for. You find your mind drifting back to what Wanda had said you earlier and wonder if there was any truth to her words. What did she mean by it?
âCan I ask you something?â Bucky prompts after the episode ends.
âAnything,â you reassure him, grabbing the remote to lower the televisionâs volume so that he can have your undivided attention.
âI know itâs just your way of poking fun at me, but when you call me âgrandpaâ or âold man,â is that⊠thatâs not how you see me, is it? Old?â
Youâre honestly taken back by his comment, not expecting him to have thought this heavily into the subject. Of course you knew the man was out of his time, and if he had been given the chance to age naturally you most likely would not be sitting here on this couch with him, but you had never thought less of him because of the fact.
âNo, of course not! Honestly sometimes I forget youâre technically 106.â
Bucky lets out a chuckle at that, but thereâs still doubt lingering on his features as he self-consciously looks down at his hands in his lap. âI just see you with Peter and Wanda sometimes and wonder if Iâm too old for you to be hanging around with.â
You shift closer to Bucky so that you can rest a comforting hand on his bicep, prompting him to lift his head and meet your softhearted gaze. Your entire being emanates warmth and tenderness, and it draws the soldier right in to you. You have no idea the effect you have on him or the way a single brush of your fingertips against his skin can satiate the yearning he feels every time he looks at you. Wanda had been telling you the truth; his thoughts are always loud when youâre around him.
âI guess sometimes itâs easier to connect with them considering weâre closer in age, but I like that you and I are so different because of it. I think thereâs more to learn with you and more to appreciate. I genuinely enjoy any minute thatâs spent with you,â you confess adamantly, prompting the corner of his lips to quirk up. âBesides, itâs going to take a lot more than a number to scare me away from you.â
Bucky only responds by wrapping his arms around your frame and pulling you into a long awaited hug. You try to stifle your gasp of surprise at suddenly being so close to him, and you hope he doesnât pick up on the fact that your heart is nearly beating out of your ribcage. You feel his lips press to the top of your head and swear you must be dreaming this because thereâs no way the Avenger youâve pining after for months is now so boldly giving you his affection.
âHow about we go away for a weekend?â He finally says after holding you in silence for some time.
âGo away?â You repeat, curiously peeking up at him.
âLeave New York, explore somewhere new,â Bucky reiterates, his features relaxed as he looks down upon you with an adoring gaze. âBe regular people for a few days.â
âIâd like that,â you profess quietly, sighing in contentment when the man pulls you against his chest once more before settling back against the couch. You can feel your eyelids already starting to become heavy, and the soothing circles he rubs into your back doesnât help. You donât want this moment with Bucky to end, but you also know that thereâs so much to look forward to.
âBucky?â You hum quietly after allowing your eyes to flutter shut.
âYes, doll?â
âWhen we go away for the weekend, can we be regular people in a relationship?â
You feel his body gently shake from the quiet laugh he lets out at your response. You feel his lips press to your forehead as you drift to sleep, missing his answer when he replies, âIâd want nothing more.â
~~~
You slept through the rest of the night without issue; Buckyâs comforting presence was enough to lull you into a peaceful rest, and you entrusted him to chase away the nightmares for you. The two of you remained entangled together on the couch all the way until sunrise, and neither of you had bothered to consider the repercussions of your actions in the morning.
âI feel bad waking them,â Steve sighs, arms crossed over his chest as he and Natasha look down on your sleeping forms. Thereâs an almost proud smile on his face as he takes in the sight of his best friend holding the woman of his dreams in his arms.
âMaybe it wouldnât hurt to let them sleep a little longer,â Natasha notes with a knowing smile before promptly ushering the blond out of the entertainment room. Unbeknownst to either of you, by the time you wake up youâll be the talk of the tower.
âSo how much do you owe Wanda?â Steve asks after quietly shutting the door behind him. Natasha lets out a disappointed sigh.
âIâm out twenty bucks. I bet it would take at least another week before they finally got their heads out of their asses and confessed. But I guess as long as theyâre happyâŠâ
âThatâs all that matters,â Steve finishes for her with a nod.
The team is happy theyâll no longer have to endure your obvious pining over each other, and they make sure to tell you so when you finally wake up.
Itâs an eventful morning to say the least.
