'Swing Kids fails at showing how cruel the nazis truly were'
This is a movie about german children who weren't inherently in danger by virtue of being 'the right race' whose only 'wrong-doings' were listening to the wrong kind of music and still they were constantly threatened and beat up, were forced to join the HJ to not endanger their families, one of them had his hand hurt so badly by a nazi he couldn't use two of his fingers anymore and had to teach himself to play guitar three-fingered, they were used to gather information for the Gestapo to the point the mc distrusted his best friend, they witnessed beatings and deportations and the shooting of a man on the run, the movie quite literally ends with the teenage main character being sent to what's most likely a concentration camp for dancing to the wrong music
#Are you perhaps simply desensitized by other movies which show violence as a way to entertain?#Which isnât wrong but I think it's important to keep in mind that all of the things I just listed ACTUALLY HAPPENED#'oh they only showed the nazis beating up people' ISN'T THAT ENOUGH ALREADY#DOESNâT THAT MAKE YOU SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS#these people could just gang up on somebody and beat them half to death#Out in the open on the fucking street#How can you think about this for longer than two seconds - let alone watch it play out on screen#And not feel absolute devastation wash over you#Besides I had to stop this movie when I started it two days ago#Because of the scene in the car where the Gestapo guy talks about mcs grandma#And sending her away 'to get better' because I absolutely couldn't think about the implications of that#Within nazi germany#Without crying#Anyway Swing Kids actually lived and died in the third reich and that's awful#But yeah maybe you're simply used to the balcony scene in Sh/ndlers L/st#Swing Kids#Brain loves movies

A WELCOME DISTRACTION || kang dae-ho
pairing: Kang Dae-ho x reader
summary: Dae-ho helps you learn to play Gong-gi
word count: 1.5k
warnings: squid game stuff, but other than than just fluff
A/N:Â I got the rules of the game from watching the show, so they could be wrong. I think it's gender neutral but lmk if it's not so I can fix it
It looks like you're going to spend at least another day here. You're going to have to play at least one more game. Despite voting to leave, the majority of people disagreed with you, and now you're stuck here. You may be drowning in student loan debt, but at least your alive, and, if you've learned anything positive from this experience, it is that life is full of opportunities.
You take your food from the masked men and find a small space in between the beds where you can be alone. You don't think you can eat right now, so you put those to the side and sit on your knees, pulling five small stones out of your pocket. When you need is a distraction, and this game could do it.
Across the room, Dae-ho winces as Jung-bae hits him in the shoulder, almost making him drop his milk.
"What?" Dae-ho says, annoyed.
"You're staring," Jung-bae says. Dae-ho gives him a confused look, to which he nods his head in your direction.
Dae-ho looks down at his feet as he feels heat rise in his face. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Jung-bae scoffs a laugh, looking at the former Marine. "Please. You cheered so loud when her team crossed the finish line I thought you're life was on the line, too." Jung-bae laughs at his own joke, Young-il laughing along.
Dae-ho rolls his eyes, finishing his milk and putting the carton down next to him. Sure he thinks you're cute, but this is no place for any of this stuff.
"You should talk to them," a quiet voice says. Dae-ho looks up to see Jun-hee looking at him.
Young-il nods. "She's right. We don't know how much longer we will be alive, you should speak now before you lose the chance."
Dae-ho looks back over at you. You're hunched over on the floor between beds, your back facing him. With a small surge of confidence, Dae-ho nods, standing up. He takes a few steps in your direction before second guessing himself, stopping in place. He nearly falls over as Jung-bae shoves him towards you.
As he gets closer to you, he can hear the sounds of something repeatedly hitting the hard floor, as well as soft curses coming from you.
"Are you alright?" he asks, standing by the entrance to the small alley between beds.
You gasp and look up at him, being too invested in what you were doing to notice someone coming up to you. Acting on instinct, you back yourself closer to the wall away from him.
Dae-ho puts his hands up. "I don't want to hurt you, just wanted to see what you were doing."
You take a look at his face and number. You remember seeing him yelling yesterday with his friend, as if he was a soldier. It had actually made you laugh, which was much needed in a place like this. You also thought he was kinda cute. Getting out of your defensive position, you shyly show him the small stones in your hand.
He furrows his brows and gets closer so he can have a better look, kneeling on the floor in front of you. He recognizes the rocks from the ground of the last game, but has no idea why you have them.
You see his confused look and sigh. "I was trying to play Gong-gi. I've never played before and it looked interesting." You let out a little laugh. "I'm not very good at it, though. I don't even know if I'm doing it right."
Dae-ho gives you a small smile. "I can show you, if you want."
You look up at him with wide eyes. "You know how to play?"
He grows a bit embarrassed and looks everywhere except for your face. "I have older sisters, we used to play when I was little."
Expecting you to laugh at him, he is surprised when you hold out the stones. He smiles and holds out his palm for you to place the rocks in, then moves back to make room between the two of you.
"You have to throw one of the pieces in the air as you grab the others, and you need to grab more as you go. You start with one each, then two, then three and one, then all four. After that, flip them onto the backside of your hand and catch them without flipping your hand over." He takes a deep breath as he rolls of the stones onto the floor. As nervous as he feels with you watching him, he knows he can do it. After all, he did just do it perfectly with guns pointed at him.
He quickly goes through the game, not dropping a single stone. When he makes the final catch and opens his palm for you to see, he finds your mouth open as you stare at his hand in awe.
"That was amazing," you say to him with a smile.
Dae-ho smiles and feels the heat rising to his face again. "You should see my sisters do it, they move so fast you can't even see what's happening," he chuckles, making you laugh. "Besides, I saw you do spinning top before. You wrapped it in seconds and got it to spin on the first try! I was always so bad at spinning top as a kid."
You smile shyly, feeling heat in your face. "It was my favorite game as a kid. I didn't have many toys, so I would play it for hours. I'd try to teach you, but I don't have a top."
Dae-ho smiles. "That's okay." He holds out his hand for you to take the stones. "You're turn to try."
You take the stones from him, scattering them onto the ground between you. You smile as you manage to get each singular one, but when you try to get two at once, you don't catch the stone in time. You let out a frustrated sigh, sitting back on your knees.
"You're doing good," Dae-ho reassures. "Try going for the ones that are closer together, and throw the stone a little higher to give you more time."
You nod at the advice and pick up the stones again. You get the first two, but lose it again as you try to get the second two. Though you get frustrated with yourself, Dae-ho never does, patiently watching you and giving you tips.
It takes more tries than you would like to admit, but you are finally able to make the final catch. You yell out in victory with a big smile on your face, and the man across from you does the same. You get a little shy as you see that your yells have got attention from the people around you, particularly that one judgmental old man who really has no right to judge anyone considering he has more debt than most people here combined.
When everyone looks away, you smile up at the man again as he hold him hand up for you to high-five.
"I feel so accomplished," you laugh, making him chuckle. "Thank you for helping me. It was nice to play a game and not have to worry for my life."
He smiles sadly. "I'm happy I could help. My name is Dae-ho."
You smile back at him and give him your name. "If we both get out of here, Dae-ho, I'll teach you how to get the top to spin every time."
"When," he says. You give him a confused look. "You said if we get out of here, but when we get out of here, I would like that very much."
You smile at him. "I'm looking forward to it."
Dae-ho spots your food sitting on the bed next to you and frowns. "You didn't eat?"
You look at it. "I wasn't hungry so I was saving it. I got so wrapped up in this game I forgot about it."
The man moves to get up. "I'll leave you to eat, then."
"You don't have to leave," you say quickly, making him stop and look at you. "I mean, I don't mind if you want to stay."
Dae-ho smiles and nods, sitting down again, this time next to you. As you eat, you both talk about yourselves, how you ended up here, your lives back home, anything that comes to mind.
"What are you going to do when you get out of here?" Dae-ho asks you when your food is long gone.
You sigh and shrug. "I'll pay off whatever debt that I can, but besides that, I really don't know." You look at him. "What about you?"
"I'll pay off my debts, too," he says. He takes a deep breath before looking at you, feeling his nerves rising. "I also think that I'd like to take you to dinner."
His nerves calm as he watches a smile slowly take over your face. "I'd like that."
Dae-ho smiles. "Then it's a date."
When it is time to go to sleep, Dae-ho can only think about how he is going to do everything he can to make sure the two of you get out of here alive.

â salacious fixation
cw/tw: hoon is mean and manipulative, yandere themes, daddy kink, size kink, unprotected sex, squirting, creampie, mentions of previous rounds
minors do not interact. pt2
Sunghoon will be the first to admit that he wonât ever fuck the same person more than two times. Itâs an unofficial rule he has, and heâs been able to stick by it for so long because he gets bored so easily. Heâs never met anyone whoâs been able to hold his attention for longer than a week.
This all changes when he meets you.
The moment he saw you taking shots with Jake, he was done for. Sunghoon felt like a creep for watching you all night, but he was physically unable to look away. Everything about you fascinated him. That night, he was only able to exchange a few words with you, but at the very least he was able to learn your name.
Getting to know you isnât as easy as Sunghoon hoped. For some reason, you kept an annoying amount of distance from him. You always remained polite and cordialâsweet, even. Yet you always pulled away before he could get too close. It drove him insane and made his fixation more intense.
Finally, Jake let it slip one day that you disregarded him so much because one of your friends had a huge crush on him. Apparently you were a girls girl, or whatever. If Sunghoon were anyone else, he mightâve respected that. But he didnât. At all.
Itâs easy to get your friend to invite him over when you just happen to be hanging out with her. Because your friend is so infatuated with him, sheâs quick to let him crash what was meant to be a girlâs night. Sunghoon can tell youâre not happy about it, but as always, you play the part of a sweet angel who goes with the flow.
It makes getting you alone that much easier.
âYouâre leaving?â You exclaim, feeling your face heat up when you realize how loud your voice got.
âIâm just going to get some drinks,â your friend assured you, not at all concerned that sheâs leaving you alone with her very hot crush. âI know youâre shy, but I wonât take a long time.â
You wonder why Sunghoon canât go with her, or why she wonât let you leave so you donât have to be a third wheel. Either way, she makes you promise to stay until she comes back, and you foolishly agree. After all, the liquor store is only thirty minutes away, and she assures you that sheâll be back quickly.
It turns out, it only took ten minutes for Sunghoon to have you naked and spread out on your friendâs bed. You feel like such a nasty slut, but somehow that just turns you on more.
According to Sunghoon, everything wouldâve been so much easier if you gave into him from the beginning. Of course, itâs way too late for any of that now. Heâs going to have to ruin all of your pretty little holes until he gets you out of his system.
At least, thatâs what he thinks until he sinks his aching cock into your needy cunt. Once Sunghoon feels how tightly youâre gripping him, he knows he wonât ever be able to get enough. Heâs so nasty, and it shouldnât get you as wet as it does. However, all of your rational thoughts were shoved to the back of your mind after your pussy got creampied.
âF-Fuck!â
Your wanton cry is loud, rivaling the lewd squelching and skin slapping filling the room. Tears of pleasure stream down your face as Sunghoon fucks his huge, girthy cock into your tight pussy. Your mixed releases are pushed out of your cunt with every rough thrust and drip onto your friendâs bed, but her hot crush is far from done with you.
âS-Sunghoon, please!â You beg through your tears. âMore!â
âWho?â
He sounds so mean and ravenous, but that only turns you on more. Your pussy tightens around him as you stain his cock with more of your cream. No one has ever fucked you so roughly before, but you love every second of it.
âDaddy, please!â You mewl into the mattress, face burning at the name he insisted you call him. âFuck me harder!â
Sunghoon smirks as his large hands grip your ass to spread you open for him. You feel so hot and tight around him that he never wants to stop fucking you. After this, heâll keep using you over and over until youâve milked every last drop of cum from his balls.
âGod, youâre fucking needy,â his grip is bruising. âBet you love daddy stretching out this tiny little cunt, huh?â
You nod even though it feels like heâs splitting you in half. It hurts so good, and you know that you wouldnât stop even if your friend were to walk in on you two right at this very second.
âCanât believe this cute little pussy is taking my cock,â Sunghoon groans as he helps you bounce back on him. âThought Iâd need to train you a little more. Guess you were just desperate for some cock.â
You moan into the sheets, too fucked out to care about anything except the cock drilling into you and the hot guy itâs attached to.
âYouâre so pretty, angel,â Sunghoon coos as his heavy balls slap against your pulsing clit. âPrettiest girl Iâve ever seen.â
Sunghoon groans in satisfaction when you squirt all over his cock. He licks his lips as his hips start to snap. Youâre a fucked out mess underneath him, trembling on his cock from absolute pleasure.
âThatâs it, baby. Get your friendâs sheets all dirty. Filthy fucking girl.â
All you can do is moan like a slut as Sunghoon fucks you like youâre his personal fucktoy. Part of you wants to finish before your friend gets back, but the other part never wants him to stop. Any guilt you felt has melted away. In a way, this was all her fault for not letting you leave when you first wanted to.
âFuck. Iâm gonna cum again,â Sunghoon roughly kneads your ass before he roughly slaps it. You jolt and cry out. âYou want that, baby? Want me to fill this tight little cunt?â
âYes, daddy!â You moan, as you deepen your arch. âCum in my slutty little pussy. Want it so bad!â
With those needy words, Sunghoon shoots his hot spunk inside you. The loud moans you let out can be heard by your friend as she unlocks the door to her apartment, but Sunghoon only encourages those pretty noises as he fucks his cum deeper into your pussy.

we do not talk enough about the moment right before crowley puts his sunglasses back on. the "nothing lasts forever" is devastating and if you're like me your eyes were so full of tears you couldn't see the screen the first time you watched it (just like crowley, look at us all twinning in sadness!).
there is a shift that happens in his eyes and i think it is absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time.
we begin with crowley averting his gaze from aziraphale's face and staring off into the distance instead, and you can see his spirit break. that crowley just lost the one thing in the world he cannot live without and we can see it written across his face like a neon sign.
then, as you'd expect, he gives into the need to cover up his pain, to try and make himself less vulnerable, and even before he lifts his glasses he looks down so aziraphale can no longer see his eyes.
now, the next part is what would not let me out of its grasp all day. we know it happens because of his demeanour afterwards and up until the kiss, but you can actually watch as crowley makes himself numb to the world.
i am intimately familiar with dissociation as a trauma and stress response, and while you can never fully control it, you do eventually find the switch in your mind that makes you snap back into the haze. crowley has had six thousand years to get really, really good at leaving reality behind when he needs and/or wants to.
that's exactly what he does.
he still looks sad, and yet there's just something distinctly distant in his eyes, the shift from openly heartbroken to "i don't want to feel any of this let me leave".
glasses? on
emotions? off
hotel? trivago
i have stared at those four frames more than any person probably should and i don't know if it's the light, if i am going insane, or if there is a single tear sliding out of his right (our left) eye. i'm probably insane and the light is a bitch so if anyone has some high resolution shots or anything that could answer that question without a doubt PLEASE do add it.
by now you are probably ready to threaten me with a knife in a dark alley but before you do that or drive your car off a cliff, let me tell you the best part:
aziraphale notices.
they might be communicating on two different frequencies but aziraphale knows crowley. he knows and loves him, and, most importantly, over the last few years he has gotten used to seeing crowley without his glasses. aziraphale could probably write a book on the expressions in his eyes alone and watches that shift happen and is devastated.
look.
he tries to make himself hope the same second, tries to convince himself crowley is putting on his glasses so they can leave together, but he knows.
aziraphale sees the light leave crowley's eyes, sees crowley leave, knowing that he is quite literally running away from him. you and me against the world, angel, but in that moment crowley firmly pushes him back to "the world" (or tries to, anyway).
the entire season we see crowley take off his glasses whenever he enters the bookshop to the point where he's running around without them on in broad daylight with jimbriel right there.
can you imagine how hurt and confused aziraphale must be?
because what crowley is telling him, if we really, really break it down, is that aziraphale is no longer a safe person for him. and repairing that trust is going to take time and work, no matter how much crowley loves him, how badly they love and need each other.
anyway to seal this off and really rub in the pain - how it started vs. how it ended. <3
oh one last thing: now crowley no longer has a single person he can be himself around, no one that knows him, no one he trusts. no one in whose presence he can take his glasses off.
and outside of the bentley and his own flat, he no longer has a place to do so either. the bookshop was theirs. with aziraphale gone, is it really a safe place anymore? is it somewhere he can just let himself be knowing he will be looked after and protected?
easy answer: no.
alright, off i go. see y'all on the next angst post or in the tags.

|| Whatâs Your Favorite Scary Movie? || Part 2.
Pairing: Dom!Bucky x Sub!female reader
Summary: After accidentally revealing that you have a masked man kink, Bucky starts taking it to the next level. The reveal!
Warnings: Smut- MDNI please!, unprotected sexual intercourse (p in v), don't forget no glove no love, edging, asphyxiation, fingering, mild dirty talk, language, praise kink, masked man kink, stalking, harassment, implied harm, breaking in.
Word Count: 5.4
A/Ns: Hi babes! Sorry this took an extra day than intended. Tumblr is being super finicky tonight, Iâve edited and re-edited this so many times. If thereâs mistakes just ignore. I hope you like the conclusion!
In case you missed it, Part 1
You didnât sleep much the next couple of nights, and decided to take some time off of work. Bucky finally reached out, and you updated him as to what was going on. He immediately offered to come home, which you refused and started to downplay the situation.
Hailee has been great with letting you borrow some clothes and little things, since you only grabbed a small bag in a rush before heading to her place to stay a few days ago. Youâve been dreading going back to the apartment, scared to find someone in there waiting for you. But itâs at the point where you need to grab some of your stuff.
Walking into the apartment, it was eerily quiet and uncomfortable. But nothing looked out of place, and was exactly how you left it. Deciding not to spend any longer there than you had to, you promptly tossed a large duffle bag onto your bed and started stuffing it with clothes and any other necessities.
Zipping the duffle closed, you felt a light gust of cool air. Scanning your bedroom window assuming it was the source, you realize itâs open. You never open this window. In fact, itâs always locked. All of the hair on the top layer of your skin stands up to the extent it almost feels like tiny pinpricks. Flight mode is instantly activated; before you can even think, you grab the bag and run, practically tripping over your own feet out of the room.
Grappling with the door knob, the pure panic starts to set in. Just as youâre twisting the knob open, you hear a distant bang coming from another room in the apartment. You freeze at the realization:
Iâm not alone.
You know when youâre watching a scary movie and yell at the tv, wondering why the one of the characters was so fucking stupid to do something?
Well, you did exactly that. What possessed you in that moment, you havenât the faintest idea. But, with your heartbeat pounding in your ears so loudly that you thought your eardrums might rupture, you started to turn around to look.
What primitively catches your attention isnât what you expected, but quickly makes your chest tighten. The fruit bowl on the kitchen counter that is normally overflowing with lucious, red delicious apples, now just has all apple cores.
The flashback of one being on left on the countertop after Bucky had left blazes in your mind. It suddenly makes sense. Bucky would never leave a mess and it wasn't long after that you saw someone outside your window.
Attempting to swallow the growing dryness in your throat, you continue to turn around. And that's when you see him for the first time. About fifteen feet away, stood an obviously immensely tall man. He wore thick, black shiny leather boots that gleamed lightly in the natural daylight within the apartment. Fitted black jeans with a loose, black hooded sweatshirt that failed to hide how muscular and broad his chest and shoulders were with the hood pulled up.
But two things stuck out the most about his appearance. First, was the tight, black leather gloves he wore on his hands that were currently clenched into rigid fists. The second, was the fact that you couldn't make out his face. All you could see was an elongated paleness, caverned by the blackness of the hood, and it seemed... sinister. He didn't move or make a sound. It was as if you would blink and he would be gone, like a cloud of smoke.
But if anyone was going to disappear, it was going to be you. So taking a chance, you ran. And you didn't stop running. Even with the faint vibration in your pocket alerting you to the new text notification on your phone, you kept going.
It wasn't until you got back to Hailee's place and frantically, out of breath explained to her, that you even remembered about the text message.
"Here," You toss the phone in pure detestation onto her bed, "I don't even want to fucking know what it says." You lean against the opposite wall of her bedroom, crossing your arms across your chest in an attempt to control the body shakes as you come down from the adrenaline.
Hailee watches you for a brief moment, still not having said much aside from asking if you were okay. Her expression was soft and sympathetic and yet had an dissenting undertone. You couldn't blame her, this all sounded absolutely insane.
Letting out a small, exasperated breath, Hailee sits on her knees from her previous crossed legged position and grabs your cell. As the screen comes to life, her teeth clench down reading whatever is on the screen.
âWhat?â The concern is evident in your voice as you pry away from the wall, though still holding onto yourself.
Hailee inhales deeply through her nostrils, faking a tightlipped smile, âitâs nothing,â her tone is flat. Sheâs lying. Clicking the sleep button on the side of the phone to make the screen go black, she makes her way off the bed, âhey, how about we head down to the cellphone store and get you a new phone and number?â She asks, trying to sound like her usual carefree self as she grabbed her crossbody bag.
âHailee,â you uncross your arms and step in front of her, forcing her to make eye contact, âwhat is it?â
Searching your eyes, you can see that she is torn. She wants so badly to do the right thing, but isnât sure what exactly that is in this situation. On one hand, she could just keep it to herself. Let the unknown and curiosity eat you alive from the inside out like it inevitably will. But only because she wants to protect you, shield you from anything that brings you the opposite of joy. Or, she can show you what youâre actually dealing with, and the two of you can come up with a plan and handle it together. Hailee decides on the latter.
Hesitating, her hand shakes slightly as she holds out the phone to you. It appears that now both of you will take this predicament more critically now. Grabbing the phone a tad more aggressively then you meant to, you unlock it and open the messages. But it's not often Hailee gets rendered quiet. Scrolling through the back to back texts, you understand why.
Taking your best friends advice, you immediately went to the cell phone store. She tagged along as you got a completely new phone and number, not transferring anything over, not wanting to take the risk. You didn't download any social media, deciding to take a much needed mental break for a bit. The only thing you did do, was take a few phone numbers that you needed out of your old phone, and even then you wrote them down on a piece of paper to manually add them into your contacts later.
Walking out of the store, you felt as if a weight had been lifted. Hailee locked arms with you, leading you around the corner to the nearest cafe to get iced coffee. It was her answer for everything. Bad day? Iced coffee. Need a pick me up? Iced coffee. Need to clear your head and just ramble about random shit for a bit? Iced coffee. Your best friend has an apparent stalker and we're hoping that changing phone numbers is the end all solution?! Obviously, iced coffee.
Sitting at a small table outside the cafe, enjoying the slight crispness in the fall air, you let out a huge, relieving sigh that makes your shoulders sink. You take the opportunity to add Bucky to your contacts and text him your new number. Although, you decide not to go into detail about your most recent encounter while he's still away on a mission.
Putting the phone down on the table and not have it incessantly go off with calls and texts, let's you feel as though you can finally breathe. "Thank you for coming with me, Hales, I really appreciate you."
Hailee is sucking the remnants of her drink through the straw as she looks up at you. She gives you a small, genuine side smile, "you're welcome," before smirking, "so I'm supposed to have a date tonight, with that guy Noah I've been seeing..." she leaves it open ended. "But, I should totally cancel after everythi-"
"No, please. Go out and have fun. You've been dealing with my shit enough," trying to make your words sound affirming, even with the lingering dread that you still felt.
That's one thing about Hailee. You never quite really have to twist her arm to do anything.
After showering and changing into your comfy jeans and oversized cropped sweater, it was hard not to feel the slightest tinge of jealousy watching Hailee do her finishing touches for date night in the mirror. Jealousy in the sense of missing Bucky and going out and having a carefree night, not in comparing yourself physically.
She swipes yet another layer of clear lip gloss on before fluffing her beach wave blonde hair. Turning to face you, her thick heels clack on the wooden floor as she starts adjusting her boobs in her sleek, dusty rose colored dress.
"What do you think?" Her hands glide down over her curves, "Dress is okay?"
"That dress is fire," and it is, she looks amazing. By the smile she's wearing, she's feeling it too, "too bad it's going to end up on Noah's floor ten minutes into your date." Hailee dramatically gasps, as if that's not true. It totally is.
You're both laughing until she abruptly stops, "I have to go!" She gives you a quick hug and starts scurrying towards the door, a bit awkwardly in the heels, "Bye! Love you! Lock the door!" As she goes to close the door behind her she yells back in, "don't read too much smut on your kindle while I'm gone!" and the door slams.
Shaking your head with a small laugh, you lock the door. Hailee just gave you the perfect idea of how to spend your night.
About an hour had gone by, you comfortably laid in Hailee's spare bed, a few chapters deep into your latest book. It was quiet, so when your phone vibrated on the bed next to you- you jumped slightly. Assuming it was Bucky finally having the chance to text you back, you pick it up fairly quickly. But the message you received isn't what you expected at all.
Before even unlocking the phone, you had a text alert from Unknown. There was nothing written, but all the way to the right of the alert, you could see a picture was included.
Promptly, you sat up in the bed and stared at the notification. That familiar wave of unease dispersed throughout your body as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over your head.
This phone number is only a few hours old, how the fuck did he get it already?
The notification banner and you were in a staredown. You had to know what the message was, but you were absolutely terrified at the same time. Your thumbs hover, occasionally twitching over the screen, until you pull the trigger and swipe up.
Us. Hailee...
Driving to your apartment, you broke nearly every single traffic law that there is. The entire time you tried calling Haileeâs phone back to back, just repeating the same mantra; please pick up. Please, please pick up. She never did.
âHailee!!â You run through your apartment door, not having to mess with it for long as it was already unlocked. You had a feeling it would be. âAnswer me!â You yell, breathlessly. The apartment is eerily dark and quiet.
Coming to a halt in the main living space, you whipped your head around looking for clues and try to listen for any signs of distress. But it was so difficult to hear anything over your own breathing and pulse drumming in your ears.
You knew where you had to go, the last picture of your friends dress laid out on your bedspread was the roadmap. The bedroom door was just barely closed over, a creepy orange glow lining it and trying to escape from underneath. Each step closer that you took, felt as if a large spider made entirely of ice was crawling down your spine.
Pushing the door open slightly with just a fingernail, you peered into the room. You knew this is exactly where this person wanted you. For what? Thereâs only one way to find out.
There didnât seem to be anyone in the room, so you took a few small steps in. The glow was more prominent now, giving the room an uncanny romantic ambiance with numerous amount of white candles lit all along the dressers, night tables, and bookshelves.
Taking a broad step forward, your attention is now focused on the bed. Hailee's dress is no longer laid out like it had been in the picture. Instead, there are flower petals sprinkled across your comforter. The intriguing curiosity drew you even more into the room without you even realizing. Picking up one of the petals, you rub it between your fingers, feeling it's supple and delicate smoothness as you examine it more closely. In that moment you recognize it- the familiarity of it's dark appeal. They're black dahlia petals.
Some of the petals congregated in one particular area on the bed, revealing an elegant, black gift box about the size of a large book. Your lips part slightly as you pick up the box, captivated by it's alluring magnetism. Taking off the lid, your brows furrow slightly in confusion. It's a chain. A long, thick slip chain that looks like a necklace but almost long enough to be a leash.
As your finger smoothes over the cold indentations of the chain, you hear a creak come from the floor behind you. In a startled jump, you drop the box- a slight ringing sound deafens the scene even more from the chain hitting the floor. But that's not your concern. Because as you turn around, you see him.
Within arms reach, you are confronted with the person that's been behind all of this. He's even taller up close, broader. Dressed in all black attire, this time swapping the black hoodie for a black t-shirt and black leather jacket. And without the hood, you're able to see the elongated white face from earlier.
It's a Ghostface mask.
He stands as still as a statue, watching you intently, waiting. Your eyes persist in looking him over as your chest rises and falls deeply. When your gaze meets his face once again, his head creepily tilts ever so slightly to one side.
"What's the matter?" He speaks, his voice deep and low, "you look like you've seen a ghost," the tone almost mocking.
Squinting your eyes, you look at him again. And this time you really look at him. His body frame, the clothes, the familiarity of his voice. Your eyes widen at the realization.
"Bucky?" you gape, completely stupefied. Taking the first fearless step in what feels like months, you wrap your arms around him. He returns the sentiment and you feel safe, for the first time in what feels like forever. It suddenly dawns on you that he's not actually on a mission. And probably never was.
"What- What is this?" You ask, looking up at him, slightly pushing the mask up to reveal his stubbled chin and promiscuous grin.
"Thereâs just something so dark and exhilarating about an unknown man behind a mask that stalks and is obsessed with you. The anonymity of it..." He repeats back the words you said to him a few months ago watching the Scream movie.
The memory of you how you told him about this kink of yours curls around your mind. That this entire time, you were never in any kind of serious danger, he just brought it to life. Weeks and months of preparation went into this, here, tonight. You should have known all along that Bucky would never have been so nonchalant about you in any type of significant situation. You're safe. You always were and always will be.
The tiny icy footprints that had trailed up your spine were long gone, now replaced with a burning and tantalizing desire. You've missed him, thinking he was away while you were dealing with this on your own. But now he's here, fulfilling your deepest desires.
Looking up, Bucky's Pacific blue eyes are already gazing down into yours, a built up and unsatisfied hunger prominent. Moving up onto your tiptoes and grabbing him behind the neck, you bring down his head and capture his lips.
Your mouth parted his, gliding and massaging his tongue with your own. A low growl reverberated from within his throat with approval, and promise to make everything up to you tenfold. Bucky's intoxicating cypress scent fills your nostrils as your inhaled deeply, pressing your breasts up into his chest. Taking off the leather gloves and shrugging his jacket onto the floor, his hands started to wildly wander around your body, giving light squeezes on your hips before settling and interlacing gingerly in your hair.
That didn't last long, though. There was a sudden and hard tug from where Bucky held your hair, enough to pull the two of you apart. The aggressiveness of the gesture was unexpected, but you'd be lying if you said you didn't fucking love it. His eyes linger on your already swollen lips, now wearing a pursed, provocative grin. His hand releases the tight grip he had on your loose curls, watching the relief from the sting flash across your eyes. Bucky has always been tender, gentle and using your body as a place of worship-but tonight is different.
Grabbing the hem of your sweater, he maneuvers it up and off to join his growing pile of discarded clothes. Dropping to his knees with a loud thud, he undoes the button and zipper of your jeans, pulling them down and weaving his tongue along the freshly exposed skin. Hissing through your teeth, your hips instinctively press forward. He lets out a dark laugh, before grabbing the chain you dropped before. Standing back up, he takes your hand, "Come," he says, leading you towards the cornered edge of the mattress.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, his muscular body causes it to sink slightly. His free hand, still holding the chain, grips his own thigh before giving it a light pat, "Sit," he commanded, again keeping that firm edge in his voice that you weren't used to. You enthusiastically follow his orders, sitting delicately facing outward in just your matching ivory lace bra and panties. It's hard not to notice how you just fit. And how much you secretly love his significantly large frame pressed against your much more petite body in comparison to his.
The soft tip of his nose runs along the outside of your neck, his large hands coasting along your shoulders, down your arms, sides, before settling on your thighs. The calluses on his hands leaving a sensational trail of tingles and heat to disperse under your skin.
"Look," his head nods forward once to get your attention, and now you see the reason why he sat you here. In the corner of the bedroom, just a few feet away, is a full length standing mirror angled perfectly to reflect everything.
You see yourself, already flushed with arousal and breathing heavily as you make eye contact with Bucky in the mirror. His devious smile pins you in place as you watch his hands pry open your legs, entrancingly over his. They willingly spread open wide for him, your restless hips now squirming, aching for more. His fingertips trace small circles on your inner thigh.
"I want you to see your face as you fall apart, " he taunted, his voice sultry in your ear, still holding your gaze in the mirror. His middle finger skims across your already embarrassingly dampened panties, causing your back to press against his rigid chest.
There was a vague rattling sound, followed by Bucky placing the large opening of the looped chain over your head and around your neck, âBucky, what are you doing-â you watch curiously in the mirror. Part of the chain dangles between your breasts, which he wraps around his hand once and slowly starts to pull, causing the loop around your neck to compress.
Itâs a choker.
Your eyes go wide, nervousness rippling through you as you grasp his intentions, âBucky, I donât know-â
âDo you really think you have a choice?â he barked, pulling the Ghostface mask down back onto his face. Talking to you through the mirror, âI wonât hurt you. Trust me,â he whispers, breaking character for a moment to assure youâre safe.
You nod in response, your reflection visibly eases in the mirror as the necklace slackens around your throat. He lets the chain lax too, for now.
Large hands are back to kneading your thighs, a lone finger brushing between your legs when gravitating along the inside. Itâs not long until the sensation has you starting to wriggle once again.
Cupping your sex, his hand gently moves up and down, keeping a firm, yet delicate and delicious pressure. Your greedy hips tilt forward, wanting more from his right hand, while the coolness of his left continues to lazily stroke over your skin. But when that icy touch quickly grabs and tears your underwear off in one jolt, you gasp at the tiny bite the ripping cloth left behind.
Now youâre left wide and exposed- to yourself, to Bucky, to the reflections of yourselves staring intensely, watching every movement. The warmth of his hand is back, leisurely gliding two fingers between your already achingly wet pussy. Swallowing hard, your breath hitches as you can not only feel, but see, yourself start to lose composure.
Bucky pulls the two fingers away, holding them up just to your mouth, "wet them for me," he instructs, his voice silk like satin. Taking the two fingers into your mouth, your tongue swirled rapidly around the digits, savoring the salty-sweetness of your arousal. Slowly pulling them back out, you see them shine with your saliva.
Something comes over you in that moment, call it gluttonous, but you pool some extra moisture into your mouth and spit onto the fingers. Just for good measure.
There's a murmured hum of approval in your ear as he spreads your folds, teasing your increasingly sensitive clit between his two fingers. And getting Bucky's praise will only enhance the entire night. Your legs quiver at the deliberate sluggish pace, letting out shaky breaths as the overwhelming throbbing demands more attention.
Finally, the pads of those fingers start to rub your bundle of nerves in unhurried circles. Gripping onto his thigh to steady yourself, your nails clutching his jeans, a whine escapes as your hips try to buck against his hand.
That dark laugh is in your ear again, "good girls don't come until I tell them too," Bucky breathes, overly indulging in how you respond to his touch. It feels like torture, in the best possible way. The combination of his words and caress... you have never felt this good. This wanted.
Your head falls back slightly against his shoulder in small disappointment, whimpering, knowing that he's going to make you beg. And you're getting desperate enough to do so.
The leisurely pace of his fingers picks up, causing your back to arch away from his chest as you start panting. Each swipe building pleasure, layer on top of agonizing layer. Finding yourself in the mirror again, you unapologetically watch as your body vigorously writhes against his hand, your moans spilling from your mouth more and more.
"How badly do you want to come, princess?" The Ghost breathed, his chest rising and falling heavily now, trying to fight off his own desire, evident from the hard protrusion you keep rolling your hips against.
"S-so bad... Please! Please," you pleaded, not caring how desperate it sounds. Adding some additional pressure, your hips stutter. Your breathing practically stops as your moans transform into one long, drawn out strangled whine as you come apart, "O-ooh...oh my god. Oh god!"
Not even fully coming down from the repeated waves, you hear, "God's not here," growled into your ear. In one sudden movement, Bucky stands up with you in his arms before tossing you onto the bed, "just me.â the low rumble emits from his chest. Ripping off the mask, he kneels on the bed and uses his left arm to support his weight. Using those same damned two fingers, he plunges them into your drenched pussy, siphoning a sound from your throat thatâs unrecognizable.
âAgain,â Bucky breathes, his eyes glazed over with a new kind of wickedness as they lock into yours, âCome for me again. I fucking love all the sounds you make,â With his palm face up, his fingers start pumping you from the inside, running over your g-spot in a come here motion.
Since there was no remission from your last orgasm, the tightness in your belly never fully went away. Watching Bucky, seeing him in the tight black t-shirt while his bicep flexes from working you, his slightly furrowed brow and his lips slightly parted in determination, you could feel it building up once again.
Feeling your walls contract around him, he grinned. He changes his hand motions to going in a frantic up and down movement, and if you know, you know. Your rasped whimpers became silent as you forgot how to breathe and your vision blurred. The build up came on so fast and so strong, the only sound in the room was your ever increasing wetness.
Your mouth dropped open into a silent O, not able to think not a single coherent thought, "Thaaat's it..." Bucky coaxed, "I want you to gush all over my fucking hand," and with his words, your body quivers as you completely shatter with a loud cry. "Goood girl. God, what a good fucking girl," he soothes. You winced slightly as he pulled out his fingers, collapsing back more into the bed as you try to rein in remembering how to breathe. Bucky sits back on his knees, and almost entirely up to his elbow is glistening with how hard you just came.
With a flat tongue, he presses it to his palm, and licks all the way up to the tip of his middle finger, "Perfect," Bucky hums in satisfaction to himself. Your throat goes dry at the sight, being the cherry on top of all the mouth breathing you've been doing. Am I fucking dreaming?
Pushing his jeans down to his knees, his thick, flushed cock rebounds out of his boxers. Bucky grabs you by the hips, pulling you down the bed before flipping you over onto all fours. Each of his hands grabs a fistfull of your ass, before slapping one side. You moan at the bite of the smack, feeling delusional from needing him inside you so badly. He rubs the reddened cheek before dropping a teeth grazed kiss on the sensitive skin.
There's a coolness between your legs, and you realize that it's your juices sliding down your thighs. Not needing any preparation, you feel the tip of Bucky's fat cock lining up to slide into your tight little slit. He rubs the head up and down, lubricating just enough to push himself in. As he started to sink into you, it took every bit of will you had not to collapse as you felt his slight struggle to get in.
"Fuck, you're tight," he sighs. But truth be told, he's just that big. As if he had a direct roadmap, he slides in effortlessly right to the hilt, poking the sweetest spot of all making you choke out a sob, "You can take it, can't you angel?" He breathes huskily, amusement draped around the words as he dragged his cock back maliciously slow, letting you feel the ridge of each vein, every delectable centimeter of his length.
You feel your eyes roll closed, enjoying the all consuming sensation. With one quick thrust all at once, Bucky simultaneously yanks on the chain of the forgotten choker forcing your eyes open with a loud cry to find him glaring at you in the mirror, "Look at me when I'm fucking you," he reprimanded, in a subdued yet stern voice.
He started to move in a merciless rhythm, keeping the chain taut in one of the hands that clenched your hips. Each thrust delivered not only a delectable deep nudge against your cervix, but a small slap of his balls to your achingly sensitive clit. The combination of internal and external stimulation has you singing your own personal explicit cry, almost on the verge of tears with the intensity.
It's almost cruel the way that he fucks you, like he's dismantling you piece by piece, mentally, physically, emotionally. Never have you been treated like such a prize possession and a cheap whore at the same time. Your walls flutter around his cock, swallowing him needing moremoremore. You're body's accepted that this pussy is Bucky's. It's meant for him. It was made for him.
In the reflection you can see Bucky wet his lips, his eyes darting between yours and your ass bouncing off of his snapping hips. He continues to murmur soft, filthy praises as he fucks another orgasm from you. The choker tensed as you came, making the edges of your vision blurry- your walls clenching so tightly, causing each stroke to become more intense than the next. After you completely shattered, the chain went slack once again.
Manhandling you one last time, Bucky lays back flat on the bed and positions you to straddle him. You shake your head in an almost delirious state, "I-I can't. Buck, I-" you whisper, thoroughly cock drunk, "I can't," you pleaded.
"Yes you can, angel," his hands glide over your sweat coated thighs, a lecherous expression on his face. You nod ever so slightly, because even as spent and exhausted as you feel, you want to see him come apart. You want to look down into his eyes as joins you in the fucked out bliss.
You grab the base of his cock, using it to align yourself before sliding back down on top of him. Bucky's eyes widen, watching intensely as your bodies joined one another. All the air releases out of his lungs at the sight of your greedy pussy sucking him all the way in- deeper, your thighs already trembling. His hands clench your hips as your they start to grind back and forth.
His ab muscles flex under your nail piercing grasp- that pressure once again starting to build. He's just so deep, you're still just so wet from coming 3 times in a row, and now his wide tip is nestled so perfectly against your cervix that each motion of your body feels like you're going to spontaneously combust and die. But there's no way that heaven could be better than this. Those painfully beautiful sapphire blue eyes filled with an rapacious hunger that only you can fulfill.
You're mouth opens in attempt to say his name like a prayer, or something as equally dirty, but all that comes out is a sputter of shuddered gasps. Bucky's unapologetically loud moans grow more frequent, turning into their own long, drawn out beautiful melody, "fuck," he whispers, "that's so good."
Leaning down, chest to chest, you capture his lips in yours- swallowing those gorgeous sounds. Bucky takes this opportunity to thrust his hips up, massaging your inner walls as you push back against him. The loud smacking of flesh borderline drown out the sounds of both your orgasms, but you could feel the vibration from deep within Bucky's throat through the kiss. Rope after rope, you could feel his warmth emptying inside of you.
The strokes became laguid as he maintained the kiss- Bucky's hands cupping your face gently, which was such a dichotomy compared to the way he fucked you tonight. You finally pull your lips apart, collapsing fully on top of his body. Laying in silence, all you can hear is each other's ragged breathing and the drumming of his heart in your ear against his chest.
"I am... never getting rid of that fucking mask," Bucky chuckles lightly.
"Just so you know," you prop your chin up on your palm, "there's 5 other movies in the franchise."

TU TODAVIA ME AMAS ! ( JING YUAN )
SUMMARY ! you may not be together anymore, and you can deny it all you want, but jing yuan knows youâre still in love with him.
NOTES ! yes, this is highly based off aventuraâs todavia me amas đââď¸ it was supposed to be the hsr men but i have been wanting to write something longer and i wanted to write for my number one again đ¤ jing yuan, i have not forgotten you. reader is not the trailblazer. word count: 2.3k
A heavy sigh escaped from your lips. Your palm was pressed against your forehead and the other held a few sheets of paper. As you paced around in the Seat of Divine Foresight, the heels of your boots clicked with each movement. This situation is stressing you out more than usual.
So much that you arenât even sure where to start. Jing Yuan sits quietly behind the large desk, watching your every movement. You are supposed to be discussing the matter with the General. Except youâve been panicking in silence and left him counting how many sighs youâve let out.
He watched you stop in front of the desk, gnawing on your bottom lip before setting the papers down on the desk.
âThe number of monsters continues to rise.â You muttered, walking around the desk and sat next to Jing Yuan with space in between you. The same silence from earlier filled the room. Itâs only the two of you and a warm teapot on the center of the desk alongside two teacups. âAt this rate, we would lose more soldiers and it could even be risky for you to fight them alone.â
âAre you saying Iâve gotten weak?â The General finally spoke up after being quiet for the last hour. You tore your gaze away from the documents and looked over at him. His eyes held some drowsiness in them. Youâre surprised he didnât fall asleep where he was sitting earlier when you were pacing. A faint smile is present on his lips.
âI didnât say that, General.â Your head turned back to the documents and your eyebrows furrowed again. âIâm simply saying that with all these appearances in the Luofu, theyâre bound to give you trouble. Doesnât matter if youâre our strongest soldier.â
âPlease. I defeated Phantylia.â He gave his hand a quick wave, dismissing your words. You raised an eyebrow at his boastful comment. It was rare the time he said one of those. âDo you really think I wouldnât win against a bunch of lowly monsters?â
âDonât forget that you had the help of Imbibitor Lunae.â You said, resting your arm on the desk. Jing Yuan shrugged in response since he believed he had a valid point. Phantylia was one of his toughest enemies and he still managed to come out victorious with the Nameless, despite her being a Lord Ravager of Nanook.
âI did most of the work.â He said which made a frown appear on your face. His smile became more prominent at your reaction. You werenât in the mood for his jokes. You didnât have high hopes since his antics havenât changed. Jing Yuan tilted his head down slightly. The stare heâs giving you means heâs about to say something else to irk your nerves on purpose. âI must say, itâs nice to know you still care about me after all these years.â
You rolled your eyes and scoffed. You grabbed the stack of papers again, flipping to the second page.
âItâs common sense to care about your comrades, General.â You said, furrowing your eyebrows as you read the encounters a few citizens of the Luofu had with monsters.
Your ability to make up excuses on the spot was impressive to him. He knew you well enough to see right through them.
âRightâŚâ Jing Yuan crossed his arms over his chest. He took in a deep breath and exhaled shortly afterwards. He glanced up towards the ceiling. âComradesâŚâ
Heâs gotten used to the way you act towards him now. He blames that on himself. Having time to reflect on your past relationship makes him realize how wrong his actions were.
To be exact, being in a relationship with Jing Yuan wasnât easy. Everyone saw the chemistry and connection you two had. His playful remarks that made your face flush. The way youâd manage to get him speechless with your own comments. Once you two confirmed to finally be together, people assumed that you already were in a relationship. And at first, things were perfect.
Jing Yuan had become the man of your dreams. He wanted nothing more than to be yours for the remainder of his life. But once it became more serious and steady, moving out of that honeymoon phase, the problems started to develop.
Youâre a high ranking official in the army. Strategic planning, training new recruits, creating teams, making sure the monsters are kept out of safe zones. It might not seem like it, but your position could become risky. The General knows youâre strong. Otherwise, this rank wouldnât have been given to you.
Though knowing the woman he loves is constantly put in harm's way, he tends to worry. There were times Jing Yuan deliberately refused to send you to the front lines. Even if you argued saying it was your job, he sometimes went as far as changing plans. This was his way of keeping you safe. You couldnât blame him. Heâd lost a lot of friends and comrades. And heâd be damned if he lost you too.
Unfortunately, his overprotectiveness caused him to lose you in a different manner.
Itâs not to say that you didnât care about him. Jing Yuan could act reckless if he wanted to. Those rare moments when he did were the times you acted the same way. But never to an extent where you wouldnât let him do his job.
The screen from your phone lit up. A notification which caught Jing Yuanâs attention and his curiosity got the best of him. His eyes flicked over and caught a glimpse of what it was. A message. He didnât bother to read what was sent, he was more interested in the name of the sender. The General easily recognized it because Yanqing was the one to find out about it.
On a busy day, his young student said he ran into you when searching for a criminal in Aurum Alley. You were talking to some man before he decided to ask for your help. Then the lieutenant started to see you several times with the same man. Each time he went and told his mentor about it. As far as Jing Yuan is aware, youâre getting to know this new man.
He had yet to personally speak with his replacement.
âHmph,â The noise came out extremely low and Jing Yuan looked away, pretending as if his focus wasnât on your phone for a split second. He wasnât as quiet as he thought. You looked from the documents to the General. At that same moment, you saw the bright screen light up again. You moved the papers out of your line sight and grabbed your phone.
Ah. Now you see why heâs looking away.
âSoâŚâ He cleared his throat. Heâs still staring off at the wall as if he were a sulking child scolded by their parents. âThis⌠Man. I presume you and him are together?â What a way to make things awkward.
âNo.â You said. Jing Yuan only made his intentions more obvious by facing you again. Heâs met with you sending a reply before putting your phone on the desk again. âWeâre getting to know each other, is all. Enjoying someone elseâs company outside of work and keeping things casual between us.â
âI seeâŚâ He mumbled under his breath. The General stares off at the entrance.
Now that the topic is still fresh, you might as well ask.
âAnd you?â You cautiously looked over at him. âAre you seeing anyone?â
You havenât heard any rumors or speculation that he had a new lover. Itâs been eating away at you ever since your relationship ended. Perhaps this could be your chance to encourage him if he already wasnât in one. He was the General of the Luofu and had many options. Tons of women fawned over him. And you couldnât lie, due to their dynamics, even Fu Xuan would be a great pair.
You had to remind yourself you werenât in a relationship with him anymore and he was free to be with whoever he wanted.
âMe?â He wanted to laugh at the idea of meeting another woman. A sly smile slowly formed on his face and he chuckled lowly. He gave a quick head shake, expressing his opinion on how ridiculous your question was. His fingers tapped on his biceps and leaned back slightly. You pressed your lips into a thin line. Heâs dodging questions, as per usual.
âAre you seeing someone or not?â You said, completely forgetting your promise to keep things professional. You were going to get an answer out of him one way or another.
âWould you like me to be sincere?â Jing Yuanâs eyebrow raised. All of a sudden youâre more interested in his love life over the task at hand. Heâs holding back his urge to tease you about being jealous. He made a mental note to do that later on.
âYes.â You huffed out.
âAlright.â He sat up straight. His smile hadnât wavered in the slightest. You swear this conversation is only making it get wider. âIâm waiting.â
âWaiting?â You asked, squinting your eyes. That was the most believable answer he managed to come up with? âWaiting for what?â Clearly he wasnât giving any context because he wanted you to pry. Was he waiting for the right woman?
He chuckled again. His arms dropped and he reached over for the teapot. He carefully began to pour tea into the second empty cup to his desired amount. The General set the teapot back down. He grabbed his cup and brought it up to his mouth, staring into it.
âFor you to realize that youâre still in love with me.â Jing Yuan said, taking a brief pause between his sentences. He looked at you out of the corner of his eyes, âAnd then youâll make me yours again.â
That⌠wasnât what you were expecting. He can tell he caught you off guard. What do you respond to that?
âItâs been three years, Jing Yuan.â Your mood suddenly shifted as you glance away. He canât pinpoint what youâre feeling. Did you realize youâre still in love with him? Are you saddened at the fact heâs doing this to himself? He knew when to be stubborn and staying out of relationships because he wanted no one but you was definitely one of them. âAnd itâs all in the past. Thereâs no use in dwelling on it.â
âYou can say our love is in the past all you want,â You hear a creak from the wooden bench. Out of your peripheral vision, you caught Jing Yuan inching closer to you and not trying to be sneaky about it at all. Once again, his actions make you send a glare his way. âBut you can never get rid of it.â
His smile tells you everything you need to know. Heâs serious.
Serious and delusional, you thought to yourself. Jing Yuan truly believes your heart is still his. And if you werenât already aware, his heart never stopped being yours. A groan came from your end and you pinched the bridge of your nose.
âIâm not dealing with this.â You clicked your tongue, standing up from your spot. You dropped the documents on the table, snatching your phone off it and walking around. Jing Yuan struck a nerve. Thatâs why you hate that his antics havenât changed.
You were making your way to the first set of stairs when his voice called out after you.
âI know you better than you think. Youâre still in love with me.â His statement made you come to an abrupt stop. Your head whipped around, glaring at him and his stupid accusations. His eyes met yours again and he took a sip from his tea. Your annoyed face brought him some amusement. It reminded him of your early stages of attraction and as if you were starting anew. âDeny it, if you wish. But once you come to terms with the truth, Iâll be waiting for you.â
âYouâre more arrogant than I thought.â You said, turning your body around to face him.
âAnd youâre still in love with me.â Jing Yuan repeated. His tone is flowing with confidence. He placed the teacup down on the table, making sure it wasnât near any important documents. The last thing he needed was to ruin them because he wanted to flirt with his ex again.
âNo, I am not.â Your eyes narrowed at him. Itâs pointless to argue with him. Heâs getting the reaction that he wanted from the very beginning. His smile morphed into his signature smirk.
âYes, you are.â He said.
âNo, I am not.â You put more emphasis on the sentence this time. He chuckled. Heâs tempted to say it again but the argument wasnât going anywhere.
âDonât you think this back and forth is a bit childish, my dear?â Jing Yuan tilted his head to the side. His long white hair fell over his shoulders. He shows no signs of stopping any time soon. If you stay longer, his comments were going to revert back to the early days of your relationship. âI say weâve already made it to the point where we kiss and make up.â
Forget that, heâs already saying them.
âThe only thing youâll be making up is a plan on how to deal with all those maraâstruck!â You spun on your heel again. Jing Yuanâs laughter is heard after holding it in. You walk down the first set of stairs, raising your arm in the air and holding up your pointer finger. âIâll be back soon and I want that plan, Jing Yuan!â
The General is left satisfied. Heâs watching you leave the Seat of Divine Foresight, leaving him alone in his office he rarely spends his time at.
You could say that Jing Yuan is a one of a kind man. But he knows that he can be replaced by a man stronger than him, more attractive than him, and kinder than him. As the Nameless from the Express once said, the galaxy is vast beyond compare. There were many places and people youâd never meet in your lifetime. So if you did go looking for this pretend man who was better than Jing Yuan, youâd find him.
But from Jing Yuanâs point of view when it came to you? No woman could ever dream about replacing you.

Youâve liked Jeon Wonwoo for as long as you can remember. Itâs not a fleeting crush or some shallow infatuationâitâs the kind of feeling that lingers, like a persistent shadow. He knows it; everyone does. But as much as your friends tease you about your obvious affection for him, Wonwoo has never acknowledged it.
Not once.
Wonwoo is the epitome of calm indifference. Heâs polite, sure, but he never goes out of his way to engage with anyone outside of his tight-knit circle of friends, Vernon and Minghao. Theyâre always together, laughing at inside jokes and radiating an air of effortless cool that only makes him seem more unreachable.
And yet, you canât help yourself. Youâre drawn to him like a moth to a flame, even though he treats you no differently than anyone else.
Sometimes you wonder if he even notices the little things you do for himâthe way you save him a seat in class when heâs running late, or how you always bring an extra drink to study group just in case he wants one. You tell yourself youâre just being nice, but Mimi, your best friend, sees right through you.
âThis is ridiculous,â she tells you one afternoon, leaning back in her chair with an exasperated sigh.
The two of you are sitting outside on the campus lawn, the warm sunlight doing little to ease the frustration in her voice. âYouâre bending over backward for a guy who canât even spare you a second glance.â
âHeâs not that bad,â you argue weakly, though even you know itâs a poor defense. Mimi raises an eyebrow, unimpressed.
âNot that bad? Y/N, heâs like a brick wall with glasses. Sure, heâs good-looking, but you canât build a relationship on eye contact alone.â
âIâm not trying to build a relationship!â you protest, though your cheeks heat at the lie. âI just⌠I like being around him, thatâs all.â
Mimi rolls her eyes. âYou like torturing yourself, is what you mean. Honestly, if I didnât know you better, Iâd think you enjoy the challenge.â
Maybe sheâs right. Maybe thereâs a part of you that holds onto this unrequited crush because itâs safer than the alternative. If you never confess, you can never be rejected. And as much as Wonwooâs aloofness stings, itâs still better than the thought of him outright telling you he doesnât feel the same.
But then there are momentsârare, fleeting momentsâwhen you catch a glimpse of something softer beneath his exterior. Like the time you lent him your notes for a class he missed, and he returned them with a quiet âThanksâ and a small, almost imperceptible smile. Or the way his eyes lingered on you for just a second longer than usual when you bumped into him at the library last week.
Itâs those moments that keep you hanging on, no matter how much Mimi scolds you for it.
âYouâre hopeless,â she says with a shake of her head. But thereâs no real malice in her words, just the weary affection of someone whoâs watched you pine for too long. âI swear, one day youâre going to look back on this and laugh.â
You doubt it, but you donât say that out loud. Instead, you change the subject, steering the conversation toward something less painful.
Later that day, you find yourself crossing paths with Wonwoo outside the campus cafĂŠ. Heâs with Vernon and Minghao, as usual, but when he sees you, he slows his pace, letting his friends walk ahead without him.
âHey,â he says, his voice as steady and unreadable as ever.
âHi,â you manage, your heart doing its usual somersault at the sight of him.
For a moment, you stand there, unsure of what to say. But before the silence can stretch too long, Wonwoo speaks again.
âThanks for the notes,â he says simply.
Itâs not much, just two words, but the sincerity in his tone catches you off guard. For once, it feels like heâs really looking at you, not just through you. And in that moment, you think that maybe, just maybe, thereâs hope after all.
Itâs a small step, but itâs enough to keep you going.
Mimi is relentless, as she always is when it comes to your love lifeâor lack thereof. Sheâs leaning against your desk chair in your dorm room, scrolling through her phone with a dramatic sigh.
âIâm telling you, Y/N, this guy is perfect for you. Heâs into photography, loves indie films, and heâs even in your lit class. Plus, he doesnât act like heâs living in a perpetual state of indifference.â She shoves her phone in your face, showing you a photo of a guy you vaguely recognize from class. Heâs cute, objectively speaking, with a kind smile and a soft, approachable vibe.
But you shake your head before Mimi can even finish her pitch. âIâm not interested.â
Mimi groans, tossing her phone onto your bed. âWhy do you do this to yourself? Itâs not like youâre dating Wonwoo, or that heâs even trying to date you. Youâre wasting your time on a guy who canât even bother to hold a real conversation with you.â
Her words hit harder than she probably intended, and for a moment, you feel the weight of the truth behind them. Sheâs rightânothing about your feelings for Wonwoo makes sense. You know itâs a losing game, but every time you even consider the idea of moving on, it feels wrong. Like youâd be betraying something youâve held onto for so long.
âItâs not that simple,â you say finally, your voice quieter than you intended.
Mimi softens at your tone, sinking onto the edge of your bed. âThen make it simple, Y/N. I get itâyou like him. But you canât keep doing this to yourself. You deserve someone who actually sees you.â
âI donât know if I want someone else to see me,â you admit, the words tumbling out before you can stop them.
Itâs frustratingâyouâre frustrated with yourself.
Every time you see Wonwoo, itâs like all the logic and advice youâve been given evaporates into thin air. All you see is him: the way his glasses slide down his nose when heâs reading, or the rare laugh that lights up his face when Vernon says something ridiculous. Itâs like heâs carved a permanent space in your mind, and no matter how hard you try, you canât make him leave.
Mimi looks at you like sheâs trying to solve a puzzle. âYouâre not even ready to like someone else, are you?â
You shake your head, a small, self-deprecating smile playing on your lips. âI donât think so. Itâs stupid, right? Holding onto feelings for someone who probably doesnât even think about me.â
âItâs not stupid,â she says, surprising you. âItâs just⌠hard to watch. Youâre one of the best people I know, Y/N, and it sucks to see you stuck on someone who doesnât appreciate that.â
Youâre about to respond when your phone buzzes on the desk. Itâs a notification from the group chat for your literature project, and your heart skips a beat when you see Wonwooâs name among the participants.
âSpeak of the devil,â Mimi mutters when she notices your expression. She doesnât need to ask who the message is from.
You open the chat to find a simple message from Wonwoo: I have some extra notes from class if anyone needs them. Just let me know.
Itâs not directed at you specifically, but your heart still flutters at the thought of him offering to help. Mimi catches the way your lips twitch into a faint smile and groans dramatically, flopping back onto your bed.
âYouâre hopeless,â she declares, though her tone is more resigned than annoyed.
You donât argue with her this time. Maybe you are hopeless, but youâre not ready to give up just yet. Because even though it doesnât make sense, even though itâs frustrating and irrational and probably a little pathetic, a part of you still believes thereâs something worth holding onto.
The next day, youâre determined to take a small step forward.
Wonwooâs message about the notes keeps replaying in your mind, like a sign you canât ignore. Itâs a flimsy excuse to talk to him, sure, but itâs enough to make you gather your courage and head toward the study hall where you know he likes to hang out.
You spot him right away, sitting at his usual corner table. His laptop is open, and a notebook lies beside it, his familiar neat handwriting filling the pages. But before you can take another step, you see her.
Sheâs sitting across from him, her dark hair tied back in a sleek ponytail. Sheâs gorgeous in a natural, effortless way that makes you want to disappear on the spot. And the way Wonwoo looks at herâitâs like someone punched you in the stomach. His smile is soft, easy, like heâs known her forever. Heâs speaking to her with a comfort and warmth that heâs never shown you.
You freeze in place, your confidence evaporating in an instant. All the what-ifs and maybes that have kept you going suddenly feel childish and naive. You turn on your heel and leave before either of them can notice you.
The rest of the week feels like a blur. You donât have the energy to pretend everything is fine, and Mimi is quick to notice.
âWhatâs wrong with you lately?â she asks on Thursday, her eyes narrowing in concern as she sits across from you in the campus cafĂŠ. âYouâve been moping around like someone stole your dog.â
You shrug, poking at your untouched sandwich. âItâs nothing.â
âLiar,â she says immediately. âCome on, spill.â
When you hesitate, she leans in closer, her voice softening. âIs it Wonwoo?â
The look on your face is answer enough.
Mimi lets out a groan, rubbing her temples. âY/N, youâve got to stop doing this to yourself. If heâs making you feel like thisââ
âItâs not his fault,â you cut in quickly. âHe doesnât even know how I feel.â
âExactly,â she says, exasperated. âYouâre tearing yourself apart over a guy who doesnât even know what heâs doing to you.â
You donât respond, and Mimi sighs. After a moment of silence, she leans forward with a determined look in her eyes.
âAlright, thatâs it. Iâm not letting you mope around all weekend. Thereâs a party on Saturday, and youâre coming with me.â
You open your mouth to protest, but she holds up a hand to stop you.
âNo excuses. You need a distraction, and Iâm going to make sure you have fun whether you like it or not.â
True to her word, Saturday evening finds you standing in front of the mirror, dressed in an outfit Mimi picked out for you. Itâs a little more daring than your usual styleâan off-the-shoulder black dress that hugs your figure in all the right placesâbut Mimi insists itâs perfect.
âYou look hot,â she declares, grinning as she adjusts the necklace around your neck. âWonwoo who?â
You laugh despite yourself, though the sound feels hollow. Mimi doesnât miss the way your smile falters, and she grabs your hands, forcing you to meet her gaze.
âListen, Y/N. Tonight is about you. Forget about Wonwoo, forget about everything else, and just have fun. You deserve to feel good about yourself, okay?â
âOkay,â you murmur, even though youâre not sure you believe it.
But as Mimi drags you out the door and toward the party, you canât help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, sheâs right. Maybe itâs time to let go, even if just for one night.
The bass from the speakers reverberates through your chest the moment you step inside the party venue. Itâs dimly lit, with neon lights flashing and a sea of people crowded around the dance floor and bar.
You feel out of place immediately, but Mimi, ever the extrovert, is in her element. She practically radiates confidence as she scans the room, her hand firmly gripping your wrist.
âThis is going to be fun,â she says with a grin, already pulling you toward the bar.
âMimi, waitââ you start to protest, but sheâs not listening. Within moments, sheâs ordering shots, her energy infectiously bold.
âTwo tequila shots, please!â she calls out over the noise, turning to you with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. âCome on, Y/N. You said youâd let loose tonight!â
âI didnât say Iâd drink,â you mumble, eyeing the small glasses as theyâre placed in front of you.
Mimi rolls her eyes. âOne shot wonât kill you. Itâs called liquid courage. Youâll thank me later.â
Before you can object again, sheâs shoving one of the glasses into your hand. Everything feels like itâs happening too fastâthe music, the lights, the crowd, and now this. You glance down at the clear liquid and then at Mimi, whoâs already downed hers like a pro.
âCheers to forgetting about all your worries!â she declares, clinking her empty glass against yours.
You sigh, realizing you have no way out, and tip the shot back. The alcohol burns as it goes down, and you cough slightly, grimacing at the taste. Mimi laughs and pats your back.
âThere you go! See? That wasnât so bad,â she says, already signaling for another round.
As Mimi orders more drinks, you glance around the room, trying to get your bearings.
You donât notice the way heads turn in your direction, but Wonwoo does.
From his spot in the corner of the room, heâs watching you.
Heâd seen you the moment you walked in, though he wasnât the only one. Itâs hard not to notice you tonight. You look stunning, completely different from your usual casual, understated style. The black dress youâre wearing accentuates your figure, and thereâs a confidence in the way you carry yourselfâeven if you donât feel it.
Vernon nudges him lightly, leaning in to murmur, âIsnât that Y/N?â
Wonwoo doesnât reply, his gaze fixed on you as you stand at the bar with Mimi. Heâs used to seeing you in hoodies and jeans, always looking comfortable and approachable. But tonight, youâre turning heads left and right, and itâs clear youâre out of your element.
âShe cleans up well,â Minghao comments casually, sipping his drink.
Wonwoo doesnât respond, but his jaw tightens ever so slightly. He watches as Mimi drags you further into the chaos of the party, her energy pulling you along like a whirlwind. You seem hesitant, your eyes wide as you take in the unfamiliar environment, but thereâs something endearing about it.
For a moment, Wonwoo feels a strange pang in his chest, though he canât quite place it. Maybe itâs because heâs not used to seeing you like this, so far removed from the quiet kindness you usually exude. Or maybe itâs the way other people are looking at youâthe guys whose eyes linger a little too long, the girls whispering behind their hands.
âDude,â Vernon says, snapping him out of his thoughts. âYou good?â
Wonwoo blinks, finally tearing his gaze away. âYeah,â he mutters, though his voice lacks conviction.
But even as his friends return to their conversation, Wonwoo canât help but glance back at you. Thereâs something about tonight that feels different, and for the first time in a long time, he wonders if heâs the one being left behind.
The alcohol was starting to buzz in your veins, making the room feel warmer and the noise more distant. Mimi was in her element, laughing and chatting with a group of students you vaguely recognized from campus. Somehow, youâd gotten swept up in their drinking games, and before you knew it, one shot had turned into two, then three.
Now, you were standing in a loose circle, your nerves on edge as you watched the current game unfold. Someone had explained it a moment ago: take the shot, then grab the lemon wedge held between another personâs lips. It was bold, far outside your comfort zone, but you didnât want to be the odd one out.
âYour turn, Y/N!â someone called, handing you a small shot glass filled with tequila.
Your hands felt clammy as you accepted it, your heart pounding in your chest. You couldnât even look at the person who was supposed to hold the lemon for youâyour nerves wouldnât let you. All you could think about was how awkward this was going to be, and how much you wished you could disappear into the floor.
You took a deep breath, closing your eyes briefly as you downed the shot in one go.
The burn of the alcohol hit first, followed by a rush of heat in your chest. When you opened your eyes and turned your head to face whoever had volunteered to hold the lemon, you froze.
Wonwoo didnât expect it to happen so soon, but there you were, standing at the bar with a shot in hand, the challenge in your eyes as you glanced at the person next to you holding a lemon.
And thenâbefore he even realized what he was doingâhe found himself walking over.
You blinked, wondering if the tequila was playing tricks on you. But noâhe was standing right in front of you, his hands gently cupping your face as if this was the most natural thing in the world. The room seemed to fall away, the noise and chaos fading into the background.
The lemon wedge was between his lips, his sharp gaze locked onto yours, and for a moment, you forgot how to breathe.
Your heart felt like it might burst out of your chest as he leaned in closer, his eyes never leaving yours. His touch was warm, steady, grounding you even as your mind spiraled.
Every nerve in your body was on high alert, the proximity making your head spin even more than the alcohol.
The way you looked at him when you saw him standing there, so close, made something stir in his chest. He was used to seeing you in passing, in casual greetings, but never like this.
Never with this... spark in your eyes, the nervous energy swirling between you two as if the whole room had faded into the background.
His hand found its way to your face without him thinking about it. It was like instinct, like he was meant to touch you, to make the moment real, to ground you in the present. He could feel your breath against his lips as he held the lemon between his teeth, his own heartbeat quickening as he leaned in. The closeness was intoxicating, and even though everything around you was chaotic, there was a stillness between you twoâsomething unspoken that hummed in the air.
His lips brushed against yours, and for a split second, the world stopped moving. The taste of tequila, the sharpness of the lemon, it all blurred together, leaving just the feeling of your presence, warm and electric. It was over in an instant, but the memory lingered like an echo in his mind.
When he pulled away, he noticed the slight tremble in your breath, the flush creeping up your cheeks. His fingers lingered on your skin, just for a moment, before he let go and took a step back. He couldnât tell if it was the alcohol or something else that made him act on impulse, but he couldnât bring himself to regret it.
âCareful with those shots,â he said, his voice steady as he turned to leave, wanting to disappear into the crowd before he did something even more foolish.
And just like that, he was gone, disappearing back into the crowd.
You stood there, your heart racing and your mind spinning, wondering if what had just happened was realâor if it was just another tequila-induced dream.
The morning light is harsh, seeping through the blinds and hitting you like a freight train.
Your head pounds, your mouth is dry, and you feel like your body is made of lead. Every movement feels like a chore, and the only thing you want is to pull the covers over your head and pretend like the world doesn't exist.
But then you remember last night. Bits and pieces of the party flash through your foggy mindâMimi dragging you into the chaos, the shots, the people... and then, the moment with Wonwoo.
You sit up, your stomach flipping at the thought of it.
What had happened? Was it real? Or just a tequila-fueled dream? Your heart sinks into your stomach as the hangover makes itself known in full force. You groan, leaning back against your pillow.
Mimi, ever the morning person, bursts into your room without knocking, as if she doesnât notice the state youâre in.
âMorning!â she says brightly, a little too brightly, given your current condition. Sheâs holding a water bottle and some aspirin in her hand. âHere, drink this. You look like youâve been hit by a truck.â
âThanks,â you mutter, taking the bottle gratefully, but your eyes are still squinting against the harsh light. âMimi... what happened last night? What... what did I do?â
Mimi plops down on the edge of your bed, clearly already recovered from whatever wildness the night had thrown her way. She grins, almost too smugly for your current state.
âLet me think,â she says, tapping her chin like sheâs in deep contemplation. âWell, first you got a little tipsy, then you got a lot tipsy... You were a little shy at first, but after a few shots, you really started to loosen up!â
You wince, already imagining how embarrassing you must have been. âAndâŚ?â
âThen,â she continues, barely able to contain her laughter, âyou and Wonwoo had a moment.â
You freeze, your heart skipping a beat. âWait, what?â
âOh yeah,â Mimi says, her eyes sparkling with amusement. âYou two were definitely the talk of the night. You guys played that game, and then...â She pauses for dramatic effect, clearly enjoying every second of your discomfort. â...Well, letâs just say the lemon wedge wasnât the only thing shared.â
Your brain stumbles over the words as the memory floods back. You and Wonwoo, so close, his hands on your face, the taste of tequila and lemon... And then the kiss, the soft brush of his lips against yours, lingering for just a heartbeat.
You feel your cheeks heat up, even as you cringe internally. âThat wasnât a kiss, was it?â you ask, your voice barely above a whisper.
âOh, it definitely was,â Mimi says with a teasing grin, clearly delighted by the reaction sheâs getting from you. âA very brief one, but yeah. It happened.â
You bury your face in your hands, groaning in embarrassment. âOh my god, Iâm going to die.â
âNo, no, no.â Mimi leans in, trying to comfort youâthough her laughter is a little too apparent. âIt wasnât a big deal! You didnât embarrass yourself too badly. Besides, from what I saw, he didnât look like he minded.â
You look up at her, eyes wide. âWhat do you mean? Did he say anything?â
Mimi shrugs, her grin turning a little more thoughtful. âHe didnât say muchâ
Your heart skips a beat. You hadnât even considered that. Did he... stay because he was just being polite? Or was there something else there?
"Did anything else happen after that?" you ask cautiously.
Mimi shakes her head. "No, you two went your separate ways pretty quickly after that. I mean, you were a little tipsy, so I didn't want to push you too much. But trust me, you're not imagining it. Something happened, even if you're too hungover to remember all the details.â
You lean back against the pillows, the weight of her words settling in your chest. Wonwoo. That moment. Had he really felt something too? Or was it just the alcohol making you think there was more to it than there actually was?
"Mimi..." you trail off, unsure how to even phrase your next question. "What do I do now?"
Mimi's expression softens slightly, though she still has that mischievous glint in her eye. "You let it play out. Don't overthink it. If somethingâs meant to happen, it will. If not, then at least you got a pretty wild story to tell."
You nod slowly, still unsure about everything. The hangover isnât making things any easier, and your head feels like itâs full of unanswered questions.
But as you drink the water and swallow the aspirin she handed you, you canât shake the feeling that this could be the beginning of something youâve been waiting for. Even if you donât have all the answers yet.
The next few days felt like an emotional rollercoaster, and you were stuck somewhere near the top, trying to keep your balance.
After last nightâs chaos, you couldnât bring yourself to face Wonwoo. You avoided him like the plague, keeping your distance whenever you saw him around campus. It wasnât because you regretted what happened, but because... well, it felt like you were the only one who cared about it, and that made everything awkward.
Wonwoo didnât say anything, didnât acknowledge you or the kiss. He acted like it was nothing, like it was just some silly game, just like the other shots and the other people. But the longer you avoided him, the more you couldnât shake the feeling that he was aware of itâaware of you. And that only made it worse.
His friends had caught on, too. Vernon had laughed it off, saying it was cute how you were avoiding Wonwoo. Minghao seemed amused. They didnât think much of it, but you couldnât ignore the tension that built up every time you crossed paths with them.
But it wasnât just them noticing. Wonwoo was noticing too. You could feel his eyes on you whenever you went to class or sat in the library. His usual nonchalant demeanor didnât give anything away, but there was something in the way he lingered a little longer, just enough to make you feel seen, even when you wanted to disappear.
Then, one afternoon, when you thought you were finally in the clear, it happened.
You were walking home, head down, lost in your thoughts as the weight of the last few days pressed heavily on your shoulders. You shouldâve stayed in and avoided the outside world. But, no, you were out here, walking alone, hoping the fresh air would clear your head.
And then, you heard the familiar sound of an engine approaching. You looked up just in time to see Wonwooâs car slowing beside you. Your heart skipped, and for a moment, everything inside you screamed to turn around and run. You were already panicking, your steps quickening, but before you could escape, the car came to a stop beside you.
Wonwoo rolled down the window, his expression as unreadable as ever, but his voiceâhis voice was what made you freeze.
âY/N,â he called out, and your pulse quickened. You turn slowly to face him
"Hey, Wonwoo. Uh what's up?" you casually, trying to hide the fact that your face is burning because of him and not the cold winds
"Just got out of class, are you walking home?"
"Yea, on my way home too. Anyways, I better get going. See you... around" you wave goodbye and started to walk again.
You hear the car door open and steps behind you, "Are you avoiding me?" his question makes you stop on your tracks. Turning around to see him leaning against the passenger side of his car
âUh... I... Itâs justââ you stutter, and then you realize you canât lie about it anymore. âItâs because of... the kiss.â
His face doesnât shift, no surprise or confusion. He just looks at you, his dark eyes locking onto yours for a moment too long. And then, as if itâs nothing at all, he shrugs.
âIt wasnât even a kiss, Y/N,â he says coolly, as though itâs no big deal. âIt was just... part of the game. Nothing to worry about.â
The words hit you like a bucket of ice water. Youâre disappointed, though you try not to show it. You wanted something more. You wanted him to acknowledge the tension, the fact that there was something between you two, something real.
But of course, that was just how Wonwoo wasânonchalant, distant, and always acting like everything was just nothing.
You couldnât help the slight sinking feeling in your chest. You forced a smile, but it didnât quite reach your eyes. âRight. Of course,â you mutter, hoping your voice doesnât betray the disappointment you feel.
For a moment, neither of you says anything. You feel awkward, standing there on the sidewalk, his car still idling beside you. But then he speaks again, his tone softening just slightly, though still with that signature aloofness.
âGet in. Iâll drive you home.â he opens the passenger door, waiting for you.
You hesitate. You should just say no, continue walking, put some distance between you. But youâre tired, emotionally drained, and there's something about his voiceâsomething about the way heâs offering that makes it hard to refuse. You sigh, not knowing what to say but not wanting to make things worse. You step toward the car, sliding into the passenger seat without another word.
As he pulls away, the silence in the car is thick, and you canât stop the thoughts that swirl in your head. You want to ask him, want to know if that kiss meant anything to him, or if he really did feel nothing about it.
But thatâs just how Wonwoo was, wasnât it? Always distant, always playing it cool, never letting anyone get too close.
The drive to your place feels like an eternity, but in the back of your mind, you know this silence between you two is only going to build the tension more. You just wish he would break it.
It wasnât easy, but you were getting better at avoiding him. The subtle things you used to do for himâsaving him a seat in the library, offering him drinks or homemade cookiesâhad all stopped. You still couldnât bring yourself to fully confront your feelings for him, and honestly, it felt like the only way to protect yourself was to distance yourself from him as much as possible.
You told yourself it was for the best. You told yourself that the space you were creating would help you get over him. But no matter how hard you tried, no matter how much time passed, you couldnât shake the feeling that he was always watching, always noticing.
And, of course, he noticed. Wonwoo wasnât the type to wear his emotions on his sleeve, but he was observant, maybe more so than he let on. He noticed that you stopped going out of your way to be kind to him. He noticed the absence of the small, thoughtful gestures you used to offer. At first, he didnât say anything, uncertain of what was going on, or whether he even had the right to ask you about it.
But eventually, he couldnât take the silence anymore.
It was late in the afternoon when you were walking alone on campus, heading toward the library to meet up with Mimi. The cool breeze made your hair dance around your face, and the noise of the campus life seemed distant, as if you were in your own little bubble.
As you passed by the gym, you saw him. Wonwoo. He had just finished his workout, his gym bag slung over his shoulder, his T-shirt sticking to his body in that way it always did after a session. Your heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, but you quickly turned your attention elsewhere, pretending you hadnât seen him.
But he saw you. Of course, he did.
âY/N,â Wonwoo called out, his voice cutting through the ambient noise, his footsteps quickening to match yours. You tried not to flinch as you heard him approaching, but your pulse was racing.
You stopped in your tracks, turning to face him, hoping your expression didnât betray the nervousness bubbling up inside you. âWonwoo?â you said, keeping your voice steady even though it felt like your heart was about to leap out of your chest.
He stopped in front of you, looking at you for a beat too long, like he was sizing you up. The look on his face was unreadable, but you could see the confusion in his eyes, the way his brows furrowed slightly as he took you in.
"Why did you stop?" he asked, and for a moment, you werenât sure if you heard him correctly.
"Stop?" You repeated, confused by his question. What was he even talking about?
"Yeah," he continued, his voice casual, but there was something different in it now. Something that made you feel like you were under a microscope. "You stopped... saving me seats, or bringing me stuff. You used to do that all the time."
You didnât know how to respond. A part of you wanted to lie, to say it was no big deal, that you were just too busy or distracted with school, but something in his eyes made you hesitate. The truth, the real reason you were avoiding him, was too complicated. You couldnât say it outright.
âI just⌠I guess Iâve been busy,â you said quietly, avoiding his gaze. âThings just⌠changed, I guess.â
Wonwoo tilted his head slightly, as though trying to understand, but he didnât push. There was no challenge in his voice, no annoyance. It was just curiosity, genuine and unassuming.
"Okay," he said after a beat, his eyes still locked on you. âI just thought you were mad at me or something.â
You felt a pang of guilt at his words, but you brushed it aside. âIâm not mad, Wonwoo. Iâm just... I donât know." You shook your head, unsure of how to explain your feelings without making things even more awkward. âI guess I just needed space.â
There was a pause, and then, for the first time in a while, he looked almost... vulnerable. "Space? For what?"
You swallowed hard, your throat dry. You could hear the underlying question in his voice, even if he wasnât asking it directly. Why had you pulled away from him? Why had you stopped the small things that used to come so naturally?
Before you could say anything else, Wonwoo let out a small sigh, and though his expression was still unreadable, there was something softer in his tone. âAlright. I just wanted to know.â
Without waiting for you to respond, he turned to leave, his steps slow but purposeful. For a moment, you just stood there, watching him walk away, the weight of his question lingering in the air between you.
You couldnât help but feel a sense of disappointment, though you werenât sure what exactly you were disappointed in. Was it because he hadnât pushed you to explain? Or was it because, deep down, you were still waiting for him to say something, anything, to make you feel like your feelings werenât so one-sided after all?
But that was just how Wonwoo was, wasnât it? Detached, distant, and never quite giving you the answers you needed.
And yet, even as you watched him disappear into the distance, a part of you couldnât help but wonderâmaybe he did want to know.
The cool breeze of the evening felt nice against your skin as you walked through the quiet neighborhood, sipping on your banana milk. The streets were relatively empty, the soft hum of the evening a welcome relief after a busy week. You didnât have a particular destination in mindâjust wanted to clear your head and enjoy the peace for a while.
As you walked past the familiar basketball court, you spotted a figure out of the corner of your eye. At first, you didnât think much of it, but then the silhouette registered in your mind. It was Wonwoo.
You stopped in your tracks, unsure whether to approach him or just keep walking. He didnât seem to notice you at first, too focused on dribbling the ball and taking shots at the hoop. The setting sun cast a warm glow over the court, and for a moment, you found yourself just watching him. There was something about his movements that seemed different, something tight in the way he playedâlike he was working through something that was bothering him.
Maybe it was the way his jaw was clenched or the way his shoulders were hunched. He looked almost frustrated, the usual nonchalance replaced by something more intense. You stood there, quietly sipping your drink, lost in thought as you watched him.
You were so absorbed in the moment that you didnât see the ball coming toward you. It hit you squarely on the head before you could react.
"Ouch!" you exclaimed, wincing as you staggered back a step.
Wonwooâs head snapped toward you immediately, his eyes wide with concern. He jogged over, his long legs covering the distance quickly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, voice laced with worry. He stood in front of you, his eyes scanning your face for any signs of injury.
You rubbed your head, trying to play it off as no big deal. âYeah, Iâm fine. Just wasnât paying attention,â you muttered, but you could tell by the way Wonwoo was looking at you that he wasnât convinced.
âAre you sure?â He reached up to gently touch the spot where the ball had hit you, his fingers lightly brushing the area. His touch was surprisingly soft, and you couldnât help but feel a flutter in your chest despite the situation.
âReally, Iâm fine,â you said quickly, pulling back slightly. The last thing you needed was to be caught up in another one of these awkward moments with him.
But before you could brush it off entirely, something in you gave way. The distance youâd been trying to maintain, the walls youâd carefully built to protect yourselfâsuddenly, it felt so fragile. Maybe it was the way Wonwoo was looking at you so intently, or maybe it was the fact that it had been days since you last spoke. Whatever it was, the words slipped out of your mouth before you could stop them.
"I just thought I was being too much," you murmured, your gaze dropping to the ground. "And itâs not like you liked it."
Wonwoo froze, his expression unreadable for a moment as he processed your words.
The air between you seemed to thicken, the awkwardness of the situation now mixed with something more vulnerable. You could feel your heart beating faster, the confession hanging in the air like a weight.
You regretted saying it the moment it left your lips, but it felt like the truthâno matter how painful it was. You didnât want to keep putting yourself out there, offering him small gestures and favors if he wasnât interested in them, or in you.
For a long moment, Wonwoo didnât say anything. His gaze softened, and he seemed to be carefully considering his next words. It wasnât the detached, nonchalant Wonwoo you were used to.
This time, he seemed almost... human.
"Youâre not being too much," he said quietly, his voice lacking its usual coldness. He met your eyes, and for the first time in a while, you saw something different in his gazeâsomething that wasnât easy to define. "And I didnât think it was annoying or anything."
You werenât sure if you believed him, but the sincerity in his voice made you hesitate. Was he really saying that? Did he mean it?
âI thought you wouldnât want me to keep doing those things for you if you didnât care.â
Wonwooâs expression softened even more, and he let out a small sigh, rubbing the back of his neck in a gesture that was far more human than the usual composed Wonwoo you knew.
âYouâre not being too much, and I guess I see why you think I didn't care. I never said I didn'tâ he says, this time with more conviction. âI justâŚâ He trailed off, like he was searching for the right words. âI just didnât know what to make of it. You were doing all these things, and I didnât know how to react.â
There it was. The reason for his distance. The reason for his coldness. He hadnât known how to handle your kindness. He hadnât known what to do with the way you made him feel, and so he had kept his distance, just as you had.
âIâm sorry,â he added after a beat, looking slightly embarrassed, as though the admission was a little difficult for him.
You didnât know what to say, your mind swirling with a mix of emotions. Had you really been wrong all along? Had he cared, but just not known how to show it?
You were so taken aback by his answer that your mind couldn't keep up. The words he had said, so simple, yet so unexpected, rattled your thoughts. I never said I didnât care. Had you misread everything? Had all your attempts to keep your distance been for nothing?
"But then the kiss..."
"That was me being stupid, I should've apologized for invading your space like that and you look really bothered by it. I was being dumb"
"Well you did say it was just a game" you mumble
"Like I said, I was being dumb and I apologize" he shoots you a quick apologetic smile
Before you could process anything more, your face heated up with embarrassment. You felt suddenly shy, the weight of the conversation pressing down on you, making it harder to breathe.
âIââ you stammered, your voice barely above a whisper. You felt a nervous energy surge through you, a mix of confusion and the rush of emotions you were trying to keep hidden.
âIâm fine, really.â You managed to give him a small, flustered smile, hoping it would make him stop worrying about you.
But Wonwoo wasnât convinced. He stepped a little closer, eyes scanning you with concern. âYou donât seem fine,â he said, his brow furrowing as he looked you over. âYou sure youâre not concussed or something? You hit your head pretty hard.â
Your heart raced at the proximity, and you could feel the overwhelming urge to escape before you made a bigger fool of yourself. He was too close.
âNo, really, Iâm fine,â you said quickly, the words coming out in a rush as you took a step back. You were panicking, trying to make sense of everything, but all you wanted in that moment was to get away from him. To breathe. To process what had just happened.
Before you knew it, your feet were already moving, backing away from him at a faster pace. You didnât even think about itâyour body just reacted, the instinct to escape taking over.
âY/N?â Wonwoo called after you, his voice filled with concern, but you couldnât stop. You couldnât deal with this right now. Not with him standing there, looking so sincere and worried, when you were still trying to understand everything that had just happened.
âIâm sorry, I really have to go!â you shouted over your shoulder, not daring to look back.
You could hear him calling your name again, but you didnât stop. Your heart was pounding in your chest as you turned down the nearby street, running as fast as you could without looking back.
You kept running, trying to outrun the mess of emotions that swirled inside you. The awkwardness, the guilt, the confusionâit was all too much. And you couldnât deal with it now.
As you finally slowed down, your breath coming in heavy gasps, you leaned against a nearby wall, closing your eyes as you tried to steady your heartbeat. Youâd never done anything like that beforeâjust ran away from a conversation like it was nothing. But in that moment, it felt like the only thing you could do.
What had just happened? Why did his words make you feel like everything inside you was unraveling?
You were doing wellâat least, you thought you were.
For the past few days, you had managed to avoid any direct interaction with Wonwoo. You kept your distance, keeping your head down whenever he was around, avoiding his gaze, and hiding whenever you could. It was easier that way. You convinced yourself it was better this way.
But then, on this particular day, as you were gathering your things at the end of class, preparing to leave, you felt a tug on the hood of your jacket. You froze, instinctively jerking away from the sudden contact.
"Y/N," a calm voice spoke, and you looked up to find Wonwoo standing there, looking down at you with a slightly amused, yet nonchalant expression. He didnât seem angry, just... observing.
You felt your heart skip a beat, and before you could stop yourself, your cheeks began to heat up. His gaze was steady, a little smirk pulling at the corner of his lips as if he was asking you, Are you really doing this?
You didnât know how to respond. Every part of you wanted to turn away and just leave before things got any worse, but your feet felt rooted to the spot.
âI... I wasnât... trying to hide,â you stammered, but your voice came out weaker than youâd intended.
Wonwoo raised an eyebrow, not saying anything at first. He didnât need to. His gaze alone spoke volumes. He was just waiting for you to admit what was going on.
You shifted uncomfortably, biting your lower lip as you awkwardly tried to avoid his gaze. âI... didnât know how to talk to you,â you finally admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. âItâs been... confusing. And I thought... maybe it was better to just keep my distance.â
Wonwoo didnât seem angry. In fact, the amused look on his face lingered, but there was something else there, something softer that you werenât used to seeing from him. âYouâve been avoiding me for days now,â he said in that same calm tone, his voice unbothered. âBut running away wonât make this go away, you know.â
You winced at his words, feeling the weight of them more than you wanted to admit. But you couldnât deny that he was right. It wasnât going to disappear just because you ran away from it.
âI... I donât know what to say to you,â you confessed, feeling all your anxiety bubbling up again. âI donât want to make things awkward. I just...â
âJust what?â Wonwoo asked, his expression unreadable now, his voice still quiet but insistent. âYou think I wonât understand?â
You blinked, caught off guard by the question. âI donât know if you will,â you murmured, trying to make sense of the whirlwind of emotions inside you. âI thought maybe... maybe it was easier to just pretend it didnât matter.â
Wonwoo studied you for a moment, his gaze softening slightly. âYou think it doesnât matter?â he asked, his voice low, almost thoughtful. âYouâre the one whoâs been giving me things, doing things for me. It matters.â
You felt your heart beat faster, unsure of how to handle this newfound vulnerability in his voice. It was unlike him, and it was making everything even more complicated.
âI didnât want to make you uncomfortable,â you said quietly, your hands still fidgeting with the sleeves of your jacket. âI thought... maybe I was just being annoying.â
Wonwoo let out a soft sigh, shaking his head as if he couldnât quite believe what he was hearing. âY/N... you werenât being annoying. I just didnât know how to respond to you, okay?â His voice softened further, a hint of frustration in it now, but not at youâat himself, maybe. "I didn't know what you wanted from me."
You stared at him, unsure what to say. His words were hitting you in a way you hadnât expected, and the confusion that had been gnawing at you for so long started to ebb, replaced by a different kind of uncertainty.
âWhy didnât you just tell me that?â you asked, your voice trembling slightly.
He looked away for a moment, as if embarrassed by his own admission, but then his gaze returned to yours. âI didnât know how to. Itâs easier for me to just... not talk about these things." He paused, then gave you a small, almost hesitant smile. "But Iâm trying, okay?â
The sincerity in his words made your chest ache, and you felt a weight lift off your shoulders, but at the same time, it was replaced by something newâsomething you werenât sure you were ready for.
âSo... what now?â you asked, your voice barely above a whisper, almost afraid of the answer.
Wonwoo stepped closer, a subtle movement that somehow felt like the most intimate thing. His expression was still calm, but there was a softness in it now that made your heart race. âNow, we talk. No more running away.â
You didnât know what that would mean for you, for him, for whatever this was between you. But right now, it felt like you might finally be able to stop avoiding the truth.
You find yourself sitting across him at a diner outside campus. The booth was cozy, the dim lighting giving the place a warm, inviting atmosphere. But despite the warmth of the surroundings, you felt cold. The walls youâd carefully built around yourself seemed to be crumbling, and the closer you got to Wonwoo, the more vulnerable you felt.
You hadnât said much since youâd arrived, your gaze bouncing around the diner, avoiding his eyes whenever they found yours.
Wonwoo, however, was watching you with quiet amusement, his gaze flickering between you and the menu in his hands. He could tell you were uncomfortable, restlessly fiddling with your hands, your eyes constantly darting away whenever he caught you looking at him.
"Hey," he finally said, his voice calm but carrying a teasing edge. "You seem a little... tense."
You bit your lip, unsure how to respond, but before you could say anything, you noticed your own body languageâa slight fidget, your shoulders stiff, your legs crossed tightly. You shifted in your seat, trying to make yourself comfortable, but it wasnât working. You couldnât shake the feeling of his gaze on you.
âI... I just donât like sitting across from people,â you admitted softly, your voice barely above a whisper, your gaze still averted. âItâs too much pressure, I guess.â
Wonwoo didnât hesitate. Without saying a word, he slid out of the booth, shifting to the side next to you. The movement was casual, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, and in that moment, you couldnât help but feel a little lighter. He wasnât judging you for your discomfort. Instead, he was meeting you halfway, making you feel... seen.
He settled beside you, his arm brushing against yours as he leaned back against the booth, a relaxed smile spreading across his face. He was so close now, and you felt a sudden rush of warmth flood your chest. Your heart skipped a beat, but this time, it wasnât from nerves. It was from the unexpected comfort of his presence.
âBetter?â he asked, his voice low and surprisingly gentle, his eyes scanning your face for any sign of unease.
You nodded, but this time, you didnât shy away from meeting his gaze. The proximity made everything feel a little more real, a little more grounded. And, for the first time in what felt like forever, you didnât feel the need to run away.
âYeah,â you murmured, still a little flustered, but this time, the smile on your lips was more genuine, more relaxed. âThis feels better.â
Wonwoo smirked, clearly pleased with your response, but there was a softness in his eyes that made your chest tighten. âGood,â he said, his voice quieter now. âI donât want you feeling uncomfortable around me.â
âSoâŚâ You hesitated for a moment, still unsure of how to navigate this new dynamic between you. âWhat now?â
Wonwooâs gaze softened, and he shrugged casually, though his eyes held a certain sincerity. âNow, we eat, and we talk. You donât have to worry about running away anymore.â He paused, then added with a small smile, âAnd no more avoiding me, okay?â
You couldnât help but smile, feeling a weight lift from your shoulders. This wasnât going to be easy, but maybe, just maybe, you were ready to start figuring things outâwith him, and with yourself.
You nodded slowly, the silence between you wasnât exactly awkward, but it wasnât easy, either. It felt like there were a thousand unspoken words hanging in the air, and neither of you knew how to address them.
Then, Wonwoo spoke, his voice calm and steady. âWhatâs your go-to drink order?â
You blinked, startled by the question. Out of all the things he couldâve asked, that wasnât what you expected. âUhâŚâ You hesitated, glancing at him briefly before looking back down at your hands. âProbably... iced vanilla latte. Or banana milk,â you added with a nervous laugh, gesturing to the nearly empty carton in front of you, you pulled it out of your bag a few minutes ago.
Wonwoo nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. âI figured you liked banana milk. I see you drinking it a lot.â
Your cheeks heated up at his observation, and you ducked your head, suddenly very aware of how closely he paid attention to you. âYeah, itâs kind of a comfort drink,â you admitted softly. âWhat about you?â
âAmericano,â he replied easily. âNo sugar.â
You scrunched your nose at that, and Wonwoo let out a soft chuckle at your reaction. âWhat?â he teased. âNot a fan of bitter drinks?â
âNot really,â you admitted, daring a quick glance at him before looking away again. âI like sweet things.â
Wonwoo tilted his head slightly, his gaze never leaving you. âWhatâs your favorite dessert?â
You bit your lip, trying to think. The way he was watching you so intently made your brain feel foggy, and it was hard to focus. âProbably... cheesecake,â you finally said. âStrawberry cheesecake.â
He hummed thoughtfully, as if filing that piece of information away. âStrawberry cheesecake,â he repeated, his voice soft. âNoted.â
âWhy are you asking me this?â you blurted out before you could stop yourself.
Wonwoo shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. âJust trying to get to know you better.â
That answer caught you off guard. You looked down at your lap, your hands twisting nervously. âBut... why?â
He didnât answer right away, and when you finally gathered the courage to look up at him, you found him watching you with a softness in his eyes that made your heart ache. âBecause I want to,â he said simply, his voice quiet but certain.
Your breath caught in your throat, and you quickly looked away again, unable to handle the intensity of his gaze. Your cheeks felt like they were on fire, and you could hear your heartbeat pounding in your ears.
Wonwoo didnât push you to say anything else. He let the silence settle again, but it didnât feel as heavy this time. It felt... different. Like he was giving you space to process, to breathe.
And for the first time in a long time, you felt like maybe he wasnât as far out of reach as youâd always thought.
It's suppose to be another normal day. You're in class, sitting next to MImi still feeling sleepy but then something slides infront of you.
You stared at the banana milk on your desk like it had suddenly sprouted wings. Slowly, you turned back to look at Wonwoo, who was casually flipping through his notebook like this was the most normal thing in the world.
Mimi, sitting to your right, nudged your arm, her expression a mix of confusion and barely-contained glee. âWhatâs going on?â she whispered, her eyes darting between you and Wonwoo like she was trying to piece together a crime scene.
âI have no idea,â you whispered back
You leaned slightly toward Wonwoo, lowering your voice as much as possible. âWhat are you doing?â
âAttending class,â he replied, not even looking up from his notebook. His tone was so calm, so casual, that for a moment you thought youâd imagined him moving seats altogether.
âHere?â you pressed, glancing over your shoulder again to see his friends Vernon and Minghao, who were both watching the two of you with poorly hidden smirks. Minghao even gave you a small wave, which only made you more flustered.
Wonwoo finally looked at you, his expression as neutral as ever. âWhy not?â
Before you could respond, he nudged the banana milk closer to you. âYou like this, right?â
You blinked down at the carton, your brain short-circuiting. âI... yeah, butââ
âThen drink it.â His tone was soft but firm, leaving no room for argument.
Beside you, Mimiâs jaw was practically on the floor. âOkay, what is going on here?â she hissed under her breath, leaning closer to you. âDid you bribe him? Threaten him? Sell your soul to some matchmaking demon?â
âI donât know!â you whispered back, your voice frantic as you stared at the banana milk like it held all the answers to lifeâs mysteries.
Wonwoo, clearly aware of the hushed conversation happening beside him, leaned back in his chair and glanced at Mimi. âIs something wrong?â he asked, his calm demeanor never faltering.
Mimi froze, her eyes wide as she realized he was addressing her directly. âUh, no? Nothingâs wrong,â she stammered, clearly trying to play it cool. âJust... curious, thatâs all.â
Wonwoo nodded, satisfied with her answer, and turned his attention back to his notebook, leaving you and Mimi to exchange bewildered looks.
The rest of the class passed in a blur. You were hyper-aware of Wonwooâs presence beside you, the subtle sound of him turning pages, the occasional shift in his seat, even the faint scent of his cologne. You couldnât focus on the lecture to save your life, and every time you caught Mimi looking at you, she wiggled her eyebrows in a way that made you want to crawl under the desk.
When the class finally ended, you quickly packed up your things, eager to escape before your brain completely melted. But as you stood up, Wonwoo grabbed your wrist, stopping you in your tracks.
âWalk with me,â he said, his tone more of a statement than a question.
You glanced at Mimi, who was watching the scene unfold with wide eyes and a grin that was far too smug for your liking. âGo ahead,â she said, waving you off. âIâll meet you later.â
Before you could argue, Wonwoo gently tugged your wrist, guiding you toward the door. You followed him, your heart racing as you wondered what on earth he was up to now.
You were half jogging to keep up with Wonwooâs long strides, his hand still loosely wrapped around your wrist as he led you through the campus. It wasnât like he was walking that fastâit was just that his legs were ridiculously long compared to yours.
Your steps were hurried, almost clumsy, as you tried to keep up. âWonwoo,â you huffed, glancing at his back, âcan you slow down? Not all of us have tree trunks for legs, you know.â
He glanced back at you, an amused smile tugging at the corners of his lips. âWeâll be late if I slow down,â he said simply, but his pace did ease up slightly.
It was almost cuteâtoo cute, honestly. The height difference, the way you had to trudge along behind him like a kid trying to keep up. And then there was him: calm, composed, and acting like dragging you to your next class was just a normal, everyday occurrence.
By the time you reached the door of your classroom, you were slightly out of breath. Wonwoo, of course, looked as unbothered as ever. He gently let go of your wrist and gestured for you to go in.
âGo,â he said, his tone soft but firm.
You blinked up at him, confused. âWait, where are you going?â
âTo my class,â he replied, as though it was obvious.
You frowned, gesturing vaguely in the direction you had just come from. âYour class isnât here?â
âNope,â he said, already turning on his heel to walk away. âItâs on the other side of campus.â
You stared at him, your jaw dropping. âThe opposite side?â
He paused, glancing over his shoulder to meet your incredulous gaze. âYeah,â he said nonchalantly.
âThen why did youââ You cut yourself off, not even sure how to finish the sentence.
Wonwoo just shrugged, his expression unreadable. âFelt like walking you,â he said simply, as though it was no big deal.
And then, without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving you standing at the door of your classroom, completely flustered and at a loss for words.
What is he doing to me? you thought, burying your face in your hands. Whatever game Wonwoo was playing, it was definitely working.
This new routine had become so normal that you almost stopped questioning itânot that you were any less flustered every time Wonwoo waited for you after class or walked you across campus. It was just easier to let it happen, even if your heart constantly felt like it was doing somersaults. Mimi teased you endlessly about it, of course, but youâd stopped trying to defend yourself. What could you even say?
One afternoon, just as class was ending, Wonwoo approached you while you were packing up your things. You were expecting him to grab his bag and lead you out of the room like usual, but instead, he hesitated.
âI have something to do after class today,â he said, his voice soft yet direct, his hands casually shoved into his pockets. âI canât drive you home.â
You blinked up at him, surprised. âOh, thatâs okay. I can justââ
âWait,â he interrupted, giving you a look that made you freeze. âAre you going to walk home alone?â
You faltered, unsure how to answer. âI mean, itâs not that far...â
He frowned at that, clearly not liking your response. âI donât like the idea of you walking home alone.â
Your heart did a little flip at his words, but you quickly brushed it off, waving your hand dismissively. âItâs really fine, Wonwoo. Iâve walked home alone before.â
âNot anymore,â he said firmly, pulling out his phone.
You raised an eyebrow as he started dialing, wondering what on earth he was doing. âWhat are youââ
âHey,â he said into the phone, cutting you off. âWhere are you right now? Can you drive someone home for me?â
You stared at him, dumbfounded. Was he really calling someone just to make sure you didnât walk home alone?
A few moments later, he hung up and turned back to you. âVernon and Minghao are nearby. Theyâll drive you home.â
âWait, what?â you asked, your voice rising slightly in disbelief. âWonwoo, you donât have toââ
âI already did,â he said simply, grabbing his bag. âTheyâll meet you outside in five minutes. Just wait for them, okay?â
You opened your mouth to protest, but the look he gave you stopped you in your tracks. It wasnât stern, exactly, but it was... serious. Protective. Like he genuinely wouldnât forgive himself if something happened to you.
You sighed, realizing there was no point in arguing. âFine,â you mumbled, avoiding his gaze.
He softened at that, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. âGood. Iâll text you later.â
And with that, he was gone, leaving you standing there with your heart racing and your mind reeling.
When you made your way outside, Vernon and Minghao were waiting by Vernonâs car, both of them looking far too amused for your liking.
âSo,â Vernon said, leaning casually against the hood of the car, âyouâre the one Wonwooâs been babying lately.â
You groaned, covering your face with your hands. âCan we not talk about this?â
Minghao chuckled, opening the passenger door for you. âDonât worry, we wonât tease you too much. Wonwooâs been... different lately, though. Itâs kind of interesting to watch.â
âDifferent how?â you asked, sliding into the car and buckling your seatbelt.
Vernon smirked as he started the engine. âLetâs just say you bring out a side of him we didnât know existed.â
You couldnât decide if that made you feel flattered or even more flustered. Either way, as they drove you home, you couldnât stop thinking about the lengths Wonwoo had gone to just to make sure you were safe. And even though it was embarrassing, a small, shy smile found its way to your lips.
Later that night, just as you were about to settle into bed, your phone buzzed with an incoming call. You blinked at the screen, momentarily stunned when you saw the name.
Wonwoo.
Your heart immediately started racing. He had texted you before, sure, but calling? This was new. Hesitantly, you picked up, bringing the phone to your ear.
âHello?â
âHey.â His voice was deep and smooth, laced with a certain warmth that made you grip your phone a little tighter. âDid you get home okay?â
You felt your lips twitch into a smile despite yourself. âYeah, Vernon and Minghao dropped me off. You really didnât have to go that far, you know.â
âI did,â he said simply. âI told you, I donât like you walking alone.â
There was something about the way he said itâcalm, steady, certainâthat made your chest feel warm. You bit your lip, trying to ignore the giddy feeling bubbling inside you.
Instead, you changed the subject. âHow was your thing after class? You never said what it was.â
âJust something for a group project,â he answered. âIt took longer than I expected.â
You hummed in understanding. âThat sucks.â
He let out a quiet chuckle. âYeah. Anyway, how was your day?â
At that, you perked up, launching into a detailed retelling of everything that had happened since class. You told him about Mimiâs latest antics, how she nearly got into an argument with a professor because she was convinced she turned in her assignment when she actually hadnât. You talked about how Vernon and Minghao teased you the whole car ride home, about the new cafĂŠ you wanted to try, and even the silly little things that made you laugh that day.
Somewhere along the way, you noticed he had gone quiet.
âWonwoo?â you called, suddenly feeling self-conscious. âAre you still there?â
There was a pause, then his voice came through the speakerâsoft, almost gentle.
âGo on, Iâm listening.â
Your breath caught in your throat.
There was something different about the way he said it. He wasnât just saying it to fill the silence. He meant it. He liked listening to you.
You felt heat rush to your cheeks, but you pushed forward, finishing your story despite how shy you suddenly felt.
When you finally ran out of things to say, he let out a contented hum. âYou should get some rest,â he murmured. âIâll see you tomorrow.â
Your heart melted at how soft his voice was. âOkay,â you said quietly.
âGoodnight,â he added, and you swore you could hear the smallest smile in his voice.
âGoodnight, Wonwoo.â
The call ended, and for a moment, you just sat there, staring at your phone. Then, all at once, the emotions hit you like a tidal wave.
You let out a loud groan, grabbed your pillow, and screamed into it.
âWhat are you doing to me, Jeon Wonwoo?!â
Your pillow, of course, had no answers. But one thing was clearâyou were so doomed.
It's a few weeks later, you're at the cafe you frequently hang out when you have free time. The usual, you're on your yapping mode while Wonwoo listens. But then you said something you didn't mean to tell him.
The moment the words left your mouth, you froze.
You hadnât meant to say it out loud. It was just one of those things you only ever admitted to Mimiâhow you were so confused about what was going on between you and Wonwoo.
But now, you had just said it. Right in front of him.
Your heart stopped.
Slowly, hesitantly, you turned to look at him.
Wonwoo was already staring at you, that small, amused smile still lingering on his lipsâbut his eyes held something else. Something unreadable.
For the first time, he didnât respond immediately. He didnât tease you, didnât brush it off. He just watched you, as if he was carefully thinking about what to say.
You scrambled to fix it. âI-I meanââ you let out a nervous laugh, waving your hands. âForget I said that! It was just, um, something stupid I told Mimiââ
Wonwoo tilted his head, his gaze still locked on you. âYouâre confused?â he asked, his voice calm.
You swallowed. âI mean... yeah?â
Silence.
The tension was unbearable. Your heart was practically screaming in your chest.
Finally, he leaned back, eyes flickering to the coffee in front of him. Then, after a long pause, he spoke again.
âWhat do you want us to be?â
Your breath hitched.
You stared at him, unsure if you heard him correctly. Your mind raced, completely unprepared for the question.
âIââ you fumbled, gripping the edge of your sleeves. âI donât know...â
Another pause. Then, he let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head. âLiar.â
Your head snapped up. âExcuse me?!â
Wonwoo met your gaze again, eyes knowing, almost too knowing. He didnât look mad. If anything, he looked fondâlike he had already figured out the answer before you even realized it yourself.
Your face burned. âIâm not lyingââ
âYouâve liked me for a long time.â His voice was so casual, so matter-of-fact, that it left you speechless.
Your entire body tensed.
Oh my god.
He knew.
Of course, he knew.
Everyone knew. You knew he knew. But hearing him say it so bluntly, with no hesitationâit made your stomach flip.
You wanted to disappear.
âIââ You swallowed hard, looking anywhere but at him. âOkay, so maybe thatâs true, butââ
âBut?â He was still watching you, waiting.
âBut I donât know what you want.â The words came out smaller than you intended, but they were honest. âYou... youâre always around now, Wonwoo. You drive me home, you wait for me after class, you listen to me ramble all the time. I justââ You bit your lip. âI donât know what that means to you.â
Another silence.
Wonwoo didnât answer right away.
Instead, he reached for his coffee, taking a slow sip. Then, with the same infuriatingly calm expression, he set it back down, resting his chin against his palm as he gazed at you.
And thenâ
âIsnât it obvious?â
Your breath caught in your throat.
Your hands clenched under the table, heart pounding in your ears. You knew what he was implying, you felt what he was saying without words, but you still couldnât believe it.
And Wonwooâknowing you so wellâcould see that.
So, he leaned in slightly, his voice quieter this time.
âI wouldnât do all of this if you werenât special to me.â
Your brain short-circuited.
You felt like your heart had stopped entirely, like you had forgotten how to breathe.
Jeon Wonwooâwho had spent years acting nonchalant toward youâwas now sitting here, looking at you like you were the only thing that mattered.
You didnât know what to say.
So, naturally, you panicked.
âIâumâI need to go to the bathroom!â you blurted out, shoving your chair back as you stood up abruptly.
Wonwoo blinked, a bit startled, before letting out a soft chuckle. âYouâre running away?â
âI am not running away!â
âYouâre literally running away.â
âI need to pee!â you lied, voice high-pitched as you quickly turned toward the restroom.
Behind you, you heard Wonwoo laughâactually laughâbefore calling out, âIâll be here when you get back.â
You groaned, covering your face as you rushed away.
This was too much.
Jeon Wonwoo was too much.
When you finally gathered the courage to come back, your heart was still hammering in your chest. You had taken extra minutes in the restroom just to stare at yourself in the mirror, mentally screaming and trying to convince yourself to act normal.
Exceptâhow could you act normal after what just happened?
You cautiously made your way back to the booth, and there he wasâWonwoo, sitting comfortably with one arm draped over the back of the seat, sipping his drink as if he hadn't just dropped that bomb on you.
And then, when he noticed you, his lips curled into that teasing smile.
âYou good?â he asked, his voice laced with amusement. âTook you a while.â
Your face heated.
âI had toâum, you knowâactually pee.â You sat down stiffly, eyes fixed on the table.
âUh-huh.â He didnât look convinced at all.
You fidgeted, not knowing what to say. Now that you knew he felt something for you, you had no idea how to act around him. You werenât prepared for this. You had spent so long assuming your feelings were one-sided that the moment he admitted otherwise, your brain completely shut down.
And Wonwooâof courseânoticed.
He watched you with that quiet amusement, letting the silence stretch between you. Then, after a beat, he spoke again.
âAre you still confused?â
Your breath caught.
You looked up at himâfinally meeting his gazeâand you regretted it immediately because he was already staring at you.
His dark eyes, calm and steady, held a kind of certainty that made your stomach flip.
âIââ You swallowed. âI donât know.â
Wonwoo hummed thoughtfully, tilting his head slightly. âI see.â
You thought that would be the end of it, that he would back off and give you time to processâbut no.
Instead, he leaned in.
Not dramatically, not forcefully. Just enough that you could feel the warmth of his presence, enough that your breath hitched and your hands curled into fists in your lap.
Then, in a voice so quiet that it sent a shiver down your spine, he whispered,
âThen tell meâŚâ
His eyes flickered to your lips before locking back onto yours.
âWhat do you want me to be?â
Your brain short-circuited.
Your body went completely still.
The weight of the questionâthe meaning behind itâhit you all at once, and suddenly, everything felt too real.
Wonwoo was still watching you, waiting, his face unfairly close to yours. He wasnât teasing anymore. He wasnât joking. He was giving you the choiceâasking you to decide what this was between you.
And youâŚ
You had no idea how to answer.
Because for the first time everâ
You realized that your silly little crush wasnât so one-sided after all.
Your heart pounded so loudly in your chest that you were sure he could hear it.
What did you want him to be?
For so long, you had thought the answer was simpleâyou wanted him, you always had. But now that he was actually asking you, the words caught in your throat.
You were frozen, caught between the overwhelming weight of your long-time feelings and the terrifying reality of facing them head-on.
Wonwoo didnât move. He was still leaning close, his dark eyes fixed on yours, waiting patiently. He wasnât rushing you, wasnât pushing you to answer, but that only made it worse.
You wanted to say something, anything, but all that came out was a small, breathless,
âIââ
And then you panicked.
Your body moved before your brain could catch upâyou quickly grabbed your drink and took the biggest gulp imaginable, as if that would somehow wash away the moment.
It didnât.
Instead, Wonwoo let out a quiet chuckle, finally leaning back, giving you space.
âYouâre cute when you panic.â
You almost choked.
âIâm not panicking,â you sputtered, setting your drink down with a little too much force.
His lips twitched, clearly not believing you. âSo, whatâs your answer?â
âIââ You exhaled, gripping the hem of your shirt. âThis is a lot, okay? You justâyou never made it seem like you liked me before, and now youâreââ You gestured vaguely at him. ââdoing all this and itâs messing with my brain.â
Wonwoo tilted his head, looking at you with quiet curiosity. âI never made it seem like I liked you?â
You gave him a look.
He hummed, gaze flickering downward for a split second before meeting your eyes again. âThatâs not true.â
Your brows furrowed. âWhat?â
âI just⌠donât show it the way you do.â He said it so casually, so matter-of-fact, as if it was something you shouldâve known all along.
You stared at him, your brain struggling to process his words.
And then, as if to prove his point, Wonwoo reached outâhis fingers brushing against yours for a fleeting moment before he grabbed your wrist, gently pulling your hand closer to him.
Your breath hitched.
âDo you really think I wouldâve let just anyone take care of me the way you did?â His voice was lower now, softer, as his thumb absentmindedly traced slow circles against the back of your hand. âI noticed, you know. Every time you saved me a seat, every time you gave me something without expecting anything in return.â
You swallowed thickly.
Wonwoo glanced down at your intertwined hands, as if realizing he was still holding you. But instead of letting go, he gave your fingers a small, almost hesitant squeeze.
âI didnât ignore it because I didnât care,â he admitted. âI just⌠didnât know how to respond.â
The confession made something in your chest tighten.
Wonwoo had always been unreadable to youâhis quiet, nonchalant demeanor making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. But now, sitting here with him, listening to him actually talk about his feelings, you realized that he wasnât cold at all. He was just careful.
He let out a quiet sigh. âBut when you stoppedâŚâ His grip on your hand tightened slightly. âI didnât like that.â
You blinked. âYou didnât?â
He shook his head. âNo.â
It was such a simple response, yet it made your heart race all over again.
There was a small beat of silence before he spoke again, quieter this time.
âI missed you.â
Your chest ached.
All this time, you had thought your feelings were a burden to himâthat he barely noticed you, let alone missed you. But here he was, telling you otherwise, proving you wrong in the gentlest way possible.
Your fingers curled around his, gripping back.
ââŚI missed you too.â
Wonwoo smiled, the kind of small, rare smile that made your stomach flip.
âSo,â he murmured, his voice laced with amusement, âare you still confused?â
You hesitated, heat creeping up your neck. ââŚMaybe.â
He chuckled. âThen should I make it clearer?â
You sucked in a breath when he leaned in again, just close enough that you could see the soft curve of his lips, the warmth in his eyes.
His gaze flickered to your mouth, then back to your eyes.
âWhat do you want me to be?â he asked again, voice barely above a whisper.
"Do I have to answer now?"
Wonwoo just smiled at your question. That soft, knowing kind of smile that made your stomach do flips.
âTake your time,â he said simply, "You waited for me, without expecting anything. It's my turn now" he tells you.
You could barely meet his eyes, your fingers twitching against his. âI justâthis is a lot, okay?â
âI know.â His thumb brushed over your knuckles in a soothing motion. âThatâs why Iâm letting you decide.â
That didnât help at all.
You groaned internally, dropping your forehead onto the table in defeat. âYouâre making this so much worse, Jeon Wonwoo.â
He chuckled, and you could feel his amusement. âAm I?â
âYes.â
âYouâre the one blushing like crazy.â
âShut up.â
He laughed again, and you hated how much you loved the sound.
After a moment, you hesitantly lifted your head, still unable to look at him directly. ââŚSo, youâre not gonna, like, be weird about this?â
âNope.â
âYouâre not gonna pressure me?â
âNo.â
âYouâre just gonna⌠wait?â
Wonwoo leaned back against the booth, his hand still comfortably wrapped around yours. âAs long as you need me to, as long as you want me hereâ
Your breath hitched.
Oh.
You bit your lip, feeling your heart squeeze at his words.
ââŚOkay,â you mumbled.
âOkay?â
You nodded shyly, finallyâfinallyâglancing up at him. âIâll think about it.â
His lips twitched, amused. âGood.â
And then, like it was the easiest thing in the world, Wonwoo lifted your hand to his lips and pressed the lightest, softest kiss against your knuckles.
Your brain completely shut down.
âYouââ You squeaked, yanking your hand back as if you had just been electrocuted.
Wonwoo just smirked.
âTake your time,â he repeated, looking way too satisfied with himself. âIâll wait.â
And you knewâyou knewâthat no matter how much you tried to think about it, your heart had already decided.

Meeting HimâŚ
Frat Rafe â Who first noticed you from across the lecture hall. Luckily for him, you were sitting next to a pledge who quickly switched seats the second Rafe gave him a hard look. He didnât say a whole lot at first, chuckling to himself as he watched a little blush creep across the apples of your cheeks when he spread his thighs slightly brushing his knee against yours.
Frat Rafe â Who couldnât take his eyes off of you through the soapy glass at the Fraternity Car Wash. You shamelessly recorded the show, giggling and smiling as he and his brothers washed cars between slow grinds and finger-drawn hearts. A very wet Rafe Cameron somehow made it through the car window, his tall frame barely fitting inside the cab as he continued to work for your cash. He danced to the music blaring through the speakers, smiling cheekily as you tucked a few extra dollars in his short red trunks.
Frat Rafe â Who waved you down before you could pull out of the lot, jogging up to your freshly cleaned car, asking you to come out to the bar that night.
Frat Rafe â Who sent three back-to-back text messages before you could pull away, the third making your mouth fall open. You looked through the window, watching Rafe chuckle and smirk, pretty proud of himself at the reaction that he got from you and the smile you couldnât take off your lips.
Frat Rafe â Who you fucked after the first date. You couldnât stop thinking about him after the carwash, his tanned, toned skin glistening in the sun. It was unclear just how many times you watched that fucking video, but it was a lot. You couldnât wait to get your hands on him. Rafe Cameron lived up to every one of the rumors. The sex was amazing, the best you ever had, rough and slow, fast when you needed it. His long thick cock filled you deliciously. It seemed like he was always one step ahead of you; like he knew what you wanted before you even asked. His beautiful blue eyes were always on you, hazed with sex. His soft lips and tongue pleased you again and again âtil you were a babbling mess.
Dating Frat!RafeâŚ
Frat Rafe â Whoâs affectionate and gentle with you. Only you get to see that side of him, Rafe, reserving all his sweetness for you.
Frat Rafe â Who loves to wrap his strong arm around your neck in doggy, tugging you as close as possible, âtil youâre begging him to let you cum.
Frat Rafe â Who went absolutely crazy the first time you called him daddy. The petname quickly became his favorite.
Frat Rafe â Who loves to brag about you to his frat brothers, especially when heâs drunk. The blonde, quick to remind them how much better you are than the girls they are hitting on to the point where itâs downright rude. Youâll scold his tipsy ass, and heâll sass you as he continues to dog his friend until you have no choice but to smash your lips against his and steal the words off his lips.
Frat Rafe â Who sent you this message just a few days after you started talking:
Little did you know how much it was on his mind. He hated that you werenât official. A much as Rafe wanted you to belong to him, he wanted to belong to you.
Frat Rafe â Who asked you out that night âcause he couldnât wait any longer.
Frat Rafe â Who loves sneaking away with you at parties. Sure, he loves showing you off, but his favorite thing to do is chill in his truck, listening to music while the two of you share a joint and talk.
Frat Rafe â Who would rather spend every night at your place than the frat house because he can actually relax. Some nights you go to sleep alone and wake up with Rafeâs strong body hugging you from behind after he let himself in with the key you had cut just for him. He couldnât sleep and needed you.
Frat Rafe â Who lives in weathered fraternity t-shirts and snapbacks if heâs not rocking a crisp polo. At any function, Rafeâs hat usually ends up on your head, one way or another, left on from time to time when you suck him off or ride his cock.
Frat Rafe â Who doesnât trust any of his frat brothers around you but Top. If youâre coming over to hang out heâs meeting you out at your car to walk you in. If youâre at a party his hand is in yours, resting on your back, draped over your shoulder, or wrapped around your waist. He loves the contact just as much as he loves keeping you safe.
Frat Rafe â Who texts you cute/horny shit when heâs drunk and youâre away.
He often questions how he got so lucky or why are you dating me again? Rafe knows you love him, he just loves hearing it. His frat brothers also know when youâre gone for the weekend because Rafe turns into an absolute dick, bitching about everything until youâre back.
Frat Rafe â Who doesnât care if people can hear the two of you having sex in fact he loves it. Rafe coaches you through each orgasm, trying hard to get you screaming for him.
âCâmon, princess⌠Let these boys hear how good daddyâs givinâ it to you.â
âShh⌠Baby, Iâd hate for all these guys to hear what a filthy fuckinâ slut you are fâme.â
âBet he didnât think I was fuckinâ you right. What do you think he thinkinâ now huh?â
He also loves watching you walk back into the party all flushed and wobbly knowing that he was the reason you were weak in the knees. Rafe loves to mark you with love bites, and hand prints, dark hickies on your cleavage that peek out of your low-cut dress, pairing beautifully with the sparkly little R pendant around your neck.
Frat Rafe â Who dedicates every Wednesday night for date night and will never let a frat meeting or function interfere.
Frat Rafe â Whoâs a surprisingly good dancer. Heâll only dance at the bar if heâs wasted, but when he does, your ass is pressed up against him with his strong hands clutching your hips. It doesnât take long until youâre dress is bunched up around your waist, panties pushed to the side, with Rafeâs pants in a puddle around his ankles as he fills you up in the dingy bar bathroom. On the other hand, if youâre at the frat house, it only takes a song or two until your bent over the bathroom sink or pressed up against the hallway wall.
Frat Rafe â Who couldnât wait for Spring Break. Each drunken day was spent at the beach with his frat brothers and your friends â each night, a different bar. But Rafe made sure you still had some moments alone whether it be to take you shopping, share a beer, or watch the sunset.
Frat Rafe â Who got rid of his dirt bike and bought a motorcycle instead. Of course, making sure he bought a helmet for you so he could bring you to class or for a cruise around campus.
Frat Rafe â Who fell in love with you all over again when you made him a beer poster with yourself as the model. You had no idea how much he loved it until you showed up to the next frat party and saw it framed on the wall.
Frat Rafe â Whoâs gotten in trouble with the law a few times for fighting. Rafe, no stranger to a fight on account of you when someone tries to start shit or gets handsy. He never ends up making it to jail, usually talking or paying his way out of it.
Frat Rafe â Who knows your class schedule like the back of his hand. Whenever heâs at the library heâll text you and ask if you need a study break which is code for stuffing you full of his cock in study room D.
Frat Rafe â Who jealously gets the better of him, and when he pisses you off, all it takes is a flirty smile and a wave at one of his frat brothers or a hockey player to set him off. The rest of the night consists of rough, possessive sex, and punishment which somehow turns into sweet, slow passionate sex whereâs heâs mumbling I love youâs and Iâm sorryâs between deep strokes and kisses.
Frat Rafe â Who loves it when you wear his clothes, especially his oversized frat t-shirts paired with your cute little panties.
Frat Rafe â Who sends you gym selfies because he knows how crazy they make you, especially post-workout shots.
Frat Rafe â Who couldnât keep his hands or eyes off you at the frat formal. It was hard not to think about the future when you looked so pretty in your white sparkly dress.
Frat Rafe â Whoâs fiercely loyal. You never need to worry about other girls around him, but the sight of it still makes you jealous. Rafe is quick to assure you youâre all he wants and needs.
Frat Rafe â Who has a thing for your panties. The lacey and prettier the better; wrapped around the shift of his truck, looped over the hand of his bedroom door, the rung of his bedpost, anywhere and everywhere. He loves to wrap them around the base of his cock when you ride him or knot them around your wrists when he ties you to his headboard. But his eyes roll back in his skull when you stuff them in his mouth because he loves how you taste.
Frat!Rafe â Who loves recording the two of you having sex and frequently snaps pictures of you just âcause.
Frat!Rafe â Who wonât just send you dick pics when you ask, but videos with the sounds on, usually moaning your name until heâs spilling onto his hand, using the pictures or videos the two of you took as porn.
Frat!Rafe â Who had to change his lock screen when you took him home for the holidays because it was a picture of you in his favorite lingerie.
Frat!Rafe â Who has pictures of you everywhere and he doesnât care who sees because donât you wish you had a girl like mine.

Claws of the Heart
Summary: In a world where mutants are nearly extinct, James Logan Howlett, better known as Wolverine, has lived a long and tortured life. Now in his 200s, with the weight of the world on his shoulders, he unexpectedly finds a glimmer of light in the form of a young woman in her 30s who lives next door. Their connection is undeniable, but when a man her age starts vying for her attention, Logan's primal instincts kick in. Fueled by jealousy, he does everything he can to win her heart, even if it means battling the demons of his past.
Pairing: Oldman!James Logan Howlett x Neighbor!Fem-human reader Genre: Fluff, Angst
Loganâs boots scuffed against the gravel as he walked down the dusty road toward the small, secluded town heâd been hiding out in for the last few months. His joints ached more than usualâjust another reminder that he was no longer the young, invincible Wolverine. Time had done a number on him, but he wasnât dead yet.
He glanced up at the sound of laughter drifting from the open window of the house next door. He knew that laughâsoft, light, and it stirred something in him he hadnât felt in years. A pang of something unfamiliarâhope, maybe? But heâd learned long ago that hope was a dangerous thing.
His gaze landed on you, the woman whoâd moved in next door about six months back. You were in your early thirties, full of life, and every time you smiled at him, it knocked him off balance. Not that heâd let you know it.
He grunted to himself as he watched you chat with the guy from two houses downâTom, or Tim, something like that. It didnât matter. What mattered was the way he leaned in too close, how you laughed at whatever lame joke he was telling. Loganâs grip tightened on the grocery bag he was carrying. His claws itched to come out, but he pushed down the urge.
Instead, he turned and walked back to his cabin. He wasnât going to be some lovesick puppy pining over a woman. But damn, it was hard to ignore the jealousy that flared in his chest every time he saw you with that guy.
He tossed the groceries on the counter and opened a beer, taking a long swig as he leaned against the counter, trying to calm the storm brewing inside him. You were just a woman, just a neighborâno reason to get worked up. He tried to convince himself of that, but deep down, he knew it was a lie.
----------------------------------
Later that evening, Logan found himself sitting on his porch, the sunset casting long shadows across the yard. He heard your door creak open, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw you step outside, your gaze landing on him.
âHey, Logan,â you called out, that sweet smile on your lips as you walked over.
âEveninâ,â Logan replied, trying to sound casual, but his heart was thudding in his chest like heâd just been in a fight.
âWhatcha doinâ out here all alone?â you asked, leaning against the porch railing, too close and not close enough at the same time.
Logan shrugged. âJust enjoyinâ the quiet.â
You smiled and sat down next to him, your leg brushing against his. He stiffened slightly but didnât pull away. Instead, he took another swig of his beer, trying to focus on anything other than how close you were.
âSo, you never really talk about yourself, Logan. Whatâs your story?â you asked, turning to face him.
Logan glanced at you, those big, curious eyes of yours looking right through him. He grunted, not sure how to respond. âAinât much to tell,â he muttered.
You chuckled, shaking your head. âI donât believe that for a second. Everyoneâs got a story.â
âNot mine,â he said, his voice rougher than he intended. But you didnât flinch, just kept looking at him with that soft, patient expression that made him feel like he could actually tell youâif he wasnât so damn scared of what youâd think.
----------------------------------
The next few weeks were torture for Logan. Every time he saw you with that guy, the jealousy gnawed at him like a dog with a bone. He started finding excuses to be outside more often, hoping to catch you alone, to steal just a few moments where it was just the two of you. But it seemed like every time he was about to make his move, there was that damn neighbor again, laughing with you, making you smile.
Loganâs patience snapped one afternoon when he saw you sitting on your porch, and that guyâTed or whateverâleaned in to brush a strand of hair behind your ear. Logan was across the yard before he realized what he was doing.
âHey,â he barked, his voice rougher than usual.
You and the guy looked up, surprised. Logan felt a grim satisfaction when he saw a flash of discomfort in the guyâs eyes.
âLogan, whatâs up?â you asked, tilting your head to the side, that concerned expression making his heart squeeze.
âJust thought you might wanna come check out somethinâ Iâm workinâ on,â Logan said, forcing his voice to sound casual, though the tension in his muscles betrayed him.
You glanced between the two men, then smiled. âSure, Logan. Iâll be right there.â
The guy opened his mouth to protest, but Logan shot him a look that couldâve cut steel. Without another word, the guy mumbled something about needing to go and quickly made his exit.
Logan turned back to you, his heart still pounding, but he played it cool. âSorry âbout that. Didnât mean to interrupt.â
You chuckled. âItâs fine, Logan. Ted was just leaving anyway.â
âYeah, Ted. Good riddance,â Logan muttered under his breath, feeling a surge of triumph that heâd gotten rid of the guy, at least for now.
----------------------------------
As the days went by, Logan found himself spending more and more time with you. He showed you how to fix things around the house, taught you how to defend yourselfâjust in case, he said, though heâd be damned if he ever let anything happen to you. And slowly, bit by bit, he started opening up, sharing bits of his past, letting you see the man behind the claws.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, you were sitting on the porch steps, Logan beside you. You had just finished telling him about your day, and there was a comfortable silence between you two.
âYou know,â you began, glancing over at him, âIâve never met anyone like you, Logan.â
He grunted in response, not sure what to say. Compliments werenât something he was used to.
âI mean it,â you continued, turning to face him fully. âYouâre⌠different. In a good way.â
Logan felt his chest tighten, and for a moment, he wasnât sure if he could trust his voice. âYou ainât so bad yourself, kid,â he finally said, the words coming out softer than he intended.
You laughed, the sound sending warmth through him. âIâm not a kid, you know. Iâm thirty-four.â
âStill a kid to me,â Logan said with a smirk, but there was no bite to his words.
You rolled your eyes, but your smile didnât fade. âAnd here I was thinking you might actually ask me out sometime.â
Logan blinked, caught off guard. âYou want that?â
âMaybe I do,â you said, leaning in closer, your face inches from his.
Loganâs breath caught in his throat. Heâd faced down some of the most dangerous foes in the world, but the thought of leaning in, of kissing you right here and now, terrified him in a way he hadnât felt in years. But it also felt right. So he took the plunge.
He leaned in, closing the distance, his lips brushing yours in a soft, tentative kiss. It was gentle at first, but as you responded, it deepened, becoming something more. When you finally pulled away, both of you were breathless, and Logan could barely believe what had just happened.
âI⌠uh,â Logan started, but you cut him off with another kiss, and this time, he didnât hold back.
----------------------------------
After that night, Logan and you were inseparable. But Ted wasnât done. He kept showing up, trying to win your attention back, and each time, Loganâs jealousy flared hotter. He wasnât used to fighting for someone like thisâmost of the time, people just got out of his way. But you were worth it.
One day, Logan found Ted waiting by your front door, holding a bouquet of flowers. Loganâs jaw clenched as he approached, his boots heavy on the gravel. The sight of Ted standing there, grinning like an idiot, made his blood boil.
"Hey, man," Ted greeted, acting casual, like he wasnât trying to worm his way into your life.
Logan stopped a few feet away, his eyes narrowing. "Whatâre you doinâ here?"
Ted shrugged, holding up the flowers. "Just thought Iâd surprise her. Sheâs been working hard, figured she could use a little pick-me-up."
Logan felt his claws itching to pop out, but he kept them in check. He wasnât going to lose his coolânot in front of you, not over some wannabe Romeo.
âShe donât need your flowers,â Logan growled, taking a step closer. âSheâs got all the pick-me-ups she needs.â
Ted laughed, but there was a nervous edge to it. "Come on, Logan. Youâre a good guy and all, but sheâs not yours. You canât just scare off every guy who shows interest."
Loganâs eyes flashed with something dark, a reminder that he wasnât just some regular guy. "Youâd be smart to back off, Ted. This ainât a game."
Before Ted could respond, your front door opened, and you stepped out, your eyes widening when you saw the two men facing off. "Logan? Ted? Whatâs going on?"
Logan forced himself to relax, stepping back to give you space. "Just havinâ a chat with Ted here."
Ted quickly handed you the flowers, a sheepish grin on his face. "Hey, I just wanted to bring these by. Thought they might brighten your day."
You smiled politely, taking the flowers, but your eyes darted to Logan, who was still standing there, tense as a coiled spring. "Thanks, Ted. Thatâs sweet of you."
Ted beamed, but his smile faltered when he saw the way you looked at Logan. "Well, I should get going. Iâll see you around."
You nodded, and as Ted walked away, you turned to Logan, who was still glaring after him. "Logan, what was that about?"
Logan grunted, crossing his arms over his chest. "Nothinâ. Just donât like the way heâs always hanginâ around."
You sighed, stepping closer to him, and placing a hand on his arm. "Logan, you donât have to worry about Ted. Iâm not interested in him like that."
Loganâs eyes softened slightly as he looked at you, the tension in his shoulders easing. "You sure about that? âCause it looks like heâs gonna keep tryinâ."
You smiled, squeezing his arm. "Iâm sure. Youâre the one I want to be with."
Loganâs heart skipped a beat at your words. He wasnât used to thisâthis feeling of being wanted, of being chosen. It was new and terrifying, but he couldnât deny that it made him feel something he hadnât in a long time.
He nodded, his voice gruff but sincere. "Iâll keep that in mind."
You leaned in, kissing him softly on the cheek, and Logan felt his resolve strengthen. He wasnât going to let some punk like Ted get between you two. Heâd fight for you, tooth and claw, if he had to.
----------------------------------
As the weeks passed, the tension between Logan and Ted simmered just below the surface. Ted still tried to worm his way into your life, showing up at odd hours, bringing little gifts, and always flashing that charming smile. But every time, Logan was there, watching, waiting, his jealousy growing stronger by the day.
You could sense the turmoil in Logan, even if he tried to hide it. He was rough around the edges, but you knew there was more to him than the gruff exterior he showed the world. The way he looked at you, the way he touched youâit was all so careful, so deliberate, like he was afraid you might disappear if he wasnât careful.
One evening, as a summer storm raged outside, you found Logan sitting on your porch, his eyes lost in the rain. You stepped outside, wrapping a blanket around your shoulders, and sat down beside him.
"Babe," you said softly, placing a hand on his knee. "Whatâs goinâ on in that head of yours?"
Logan didnât look at you right away. He stared out into the storm, the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance. "Just thinkinâ," he finally muttered, his voice barely audible over the rain.
"About Ted?" you asked, knowing the answer.
Logan grunted in response, a muscle ticking in his jaw. "âBout a lot of things."
You moved closer, resting your head on his shoulder. "Talk to me, babe. I canât help if you keep everything bottled up."
Logan sighed, his rough exterior cracking just a bit. "I donât like him hanginâ around you, okay? Every time I see him, itâs like this⌠this beast inside me just wants to tear him apart."
You blinked, surprised by the raw honesty in his words. "LoganâŚ"
He turned to look at you, his eyes dark and intense. "Iâve done a lotta things in my life I ainât proud of. Seen things, lost people⌠I donât want to lose you, too. But every time I see you with him, itâs like⌠I dunno, like Iâm gonna lose somethinâ important. And it scares the hell outta me."
You reached up, cupping his face in your hands, your thumbs brushing against his stubbled cheeks. "Youâre not gonna lose me, babe. Iâm here, and Iâm not goinâ anywhere. But you gotta trust me, okay? Trust that I know what I want."
Logan swallowed hard, nodding slightly. "I trust you, darlinâ. Itâs me I donât trust."
You smiled softly, leaning in to kiss him, and Logan melted into the touch, the storm outside forgotten as he wrapped his arms around you. For the first time in years, he felt like maybe, just maybe, he didnât have to be alone anymore.
----------------------------------
The next day, Logan was out back, chopping wood to burn off some of the restless energy that had been plaguing him. The sound of the axe hitting the wood was rhythmic, almost meditative, but his thoughts were anything but calm.
Ted showed up again, this time strolling right into Loganâs yard like he owned the place. Logan didnât stop what he was doing, but he didnât have toâTed came right up to him, hands shoved in his pockets, a cocky smirk on his face.
"Hey, Logan," Ted said, his tone too casual for Loganâs liking. "We need to talk."
Logan paused mid-swing, the axe hovering in the air. "âBout what?"
"About her," Ted replied, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Look, man, I get it. Youâve got this whole rough, mysterious vibe going on, but letâs be realâhow long do you think you can keep her interested? Sheâs young, full of life. You⌠well, youâre not exactly a spring chicken, are you?"
Loganâs grip tightened on the axe handle, his knuckles turning white. He lowered the axe slowly, turning to face Ted fully. "You tryinâ to start somethinâ, kid?"
Ted held up his hands in mock surrender. "Not at all. Iâm just sayinâ, maybe itâs time you stepped aside. Let her have a shot at something real, something thatâs not tied down by⌠whatever you got goinâ on."
Loganâs claws itched to come out, but he held them back, forcing himself to stay calm. "You donât know a damn thing about me, or what she wants."
"Maybe not," Ted admitted, his smirk widening. "But I know what I see. And what I see is a man whoâs past his prime, holding onto something he canât keep."
Logan took a step forward, his eyes darkening with barely controlled rage. "You keep pushinâ, and youâll see just how much fight I got left in me."
Tedâs smirk faltered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Look, Iâm not here to fight. Iâm here to give you a choiceâstep aside, or Iâll make sure you regret not doing it."
Loganâs lips curled into a snarl, his claws itching to break free, but he knew better. As much as he wanted to tear Ted apart, he knew that wasnât the answer. Instead, he took a deep breath, forcing the rage back down. "You ever come near her again, I wonât be responsible for what happens next."
Tedâs eyes flashed with somethingâfear, maybeâbut he quickly masked it with a cocky grin. "Weâll see about that, old man."
With that, Ted turned and walked away, leaving Logan standing there, his heart pounding with anger and frustration. He knew he had to do something, but the question was, how far was he willing to go to keep you safe?
----------------------------------
That evening, Logan found you sitting on your porch, the soft glow of the setting sun casting a warm light over your face. You smiled when you saw him, but your smile faltered slightly when you noticed the tension in his eyes. Logan sat down beside you, his usual stoic expression replaced by something deeper, more troubled. You could tell he had something on his mind.
"Babe," you began softly, reaching for his hand. "Whatâs wrong? Youâve been distant all day."
Logan took a deep breath, his thumb brushing over the back of your hand. He wasnât sure how to start, but he knew he couldnât keep this from you any longer. "Ted came by earlier," he said, his voice low.
You frowned, concern knitting your brows together. "What did he want?"
Loganâs jaw tightened as he recalled the conversation. "He thinks I should step aside. That Iâm not what you need."
You blinked in surprise, not expecting that. "Step aside? Babe, thatâs ridiculous. What did you say?"
Logan looked away, staring out at the horizon. "I told him to back off. But⌠part of me wonders if heâs right."
You were taken aback by his words. "Babe, how can you even think that? Youâre everything I need. Youâre strong, caring, and⌠you make me feel safe."
Logan shook his head, a bitter chuckle escaping him. "Safe, huh? Iâm anything but safe. I got a past full of blood and regret. Iâm not the kind of guy whoâs good for someone like you."
You squeezed his hand tighter, not willing to let him pull away. "I donât care about your past, Logan. I care about who you are now, and who you are to me. Ted doesnât know youâhe doesnât know us. And Iâm not going to let him or anyone else decide whatâs right for me."
Logan turned to look at you, his eyes searching yours for any sign of doubt. But all he saw was the sincerity in your gaze, the unwavering belief that he was worth fighting for. It stirred something deep within him, something he hadnât felt in a long timeâhope.
"But what if heâs right?" Logan asked, his voice barely a whisper. "What if Iâm just foolinâ myself, thinking I can have somethinâ good without it all fallinâ apart?"
You leaned in closer, your other hand coming up to cradle his face. "Logan, life isnât about being perfect or having all the answers. Itâs about making choices, and Iâve chosen you. I want to be with you, and Iâm not afraid of what that means. Weâll figure it out together, no matter what."
Loganâs breath hitched as he felt the weight of your words. It wasnât just about Ted, or his past, or the fears that haunted him. It was about trustâtrusting you, trusting himself, and trusting that maybe, just maybe, he could have something good for once in his life.
He nodded slowly, his eyes softening as he leaned his forehead against yours. "I donât deserve you, but Iâm not gonna let you go."
You smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. "Good. Because Iâm not going anywhere."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the world in twilight, Logan felt a sense of peace wash over him. For the first time in a long time, he wasnât just survivingâhe was living.
----------------------------------
The next day, you decided it was time to put an end to Tedâs advances once and for all. You couldnât let him continue to disrupt the peace you and Logan had fought so hard to build. You called Ted, asking him to meet you at a local cafĂŠ, a public place where you could have a conversation without the threat of things getting out of hand.
Ted arrived, all smiles, clearly thinking that youâd finally come to your senses. But when he saw the serious expression on your face, his grin faltered.
âHey,â he greeted, trying to sound casual. âWhatâs up?â
You didnât waste any time getting to the point. âTed, we need to talk about this⌠whatever this is.â
Ted sat down across from you, his expression growing more serious. âOkay, Iâm listening.â
You took a deep breath, choosing your words carefully. âI appreciate the attention, I do. But this has to stop. Iâm with Logan, and thatâs not going to change.â
Tedâs eyes darkened slightly, but he kept his tone light. âYou donât have to be. You deserve better, someone who can give you a normal life. Logan⌠heâs dangerous.â
You shook your head, not letting his words shake you. âLogan isnât dangerous to me. Heâs been through a lot, but that doesnât change who he isâwho he is to me. I care about him, Ted. This isnât something you can just talk me out of.â
Ted leaned forward, a desperate edge creeping into his voice. âBut why him? You could have anyone, someone who can give you a future, a familyâŚâ
You sighed, feeling a pang of pity for Ted. He didnât understandâhe couldnât. âTed, youâre a good guy, but youâre not the one I want. Iâm sorry if that hurts, but itâs the truth.â
Tedâs expression hardened, his eyes narrowing. âSo thatâs it? Youâre just going to throw away a chance at something real for a guy like him?â
You stood up, your decision firm. âIâve already got something real, Ted. And Iâm not going to throw it away.â
Ted watched as you turned to leave, a storm of emotions playing across his face. But you didnât look back. You had made your choice, and there was no room for doubt.
----------------------------------
When you returned home, Logan was waiting for you, a mix of anxiety and hope in his eyes. âHowâd it go?â
You smiled, wrapping your arms around him. âItâs over. I told him Iâm with you, and thatâs not going to change.â
Logan exhaled a breath he didnât realize he was holding, relief flooding through him. âYou sure he got the message?â
You nodded, resting your head against his chest. âYeah, Iâm sure. He wonât bother us again.â
Loganâs arms tightened around you, holding you close. âThank you, darlinâ. For choosing me.â
You looked up at him, your heart swelling with affection. âI didnât just choose you, Logan. I chose us. And Iâm not letting go.â
Logan leaned down, capturing your lips in a kiss that was slow, tender, and full of all the things he couldnât put into words. In that moment, all the doubts, the fears, the what-ifsâthey all melted away, leaving only the two of you and the life you were building together.
----------------------------------
Years passed, and the love between you and Logan only grew stronger. You faced challenges together, fought battles side by side, and through it all, you never wavered in your commitment to one another. Logan learned to let go of the guilt and pain that had haunted him for so long, finding peace in the life you shared.
And as you sat together on your porch, watching the sunset, you knew that this was where you were meant to be. With Logan by your side, you felt complete, knowing that no matter what the future held, you would face it together.
Because in the end, love wasnât about finding someone who was perfect. It was about finding someone who made you feel like you were worth fighting forâsomeone who made you feel alive. And that was exactly what you had found in Logan. You leaned into Loganâs embrace, feeling his warmth surround you. And in that moment, you knew that you had found a love that would endure, a love that would last a lifetime.

Child - PB
Pairing: Paige Bueckers x Reader
Summary: HC of Paige as Mom (based on THIS request)
Warnings: none that I can think of :)
Word Count: 1.6k
Sweetbans Masterlist
AN: If it is not obvious, it is set in the future. I am thinking mid-20s for her.
Paige would be both terrified and ecstatic when the two of you bring home your little one for the first time. I mean, the girl would be working around the house nonstop for the weeks leading up to your due date and made sure everything was safe for you and your little one.
"Paige?" You ask, sleep evident in your voice. When you woke up in the middle of the night to find that you were alone (and had to pee) you got up. After using the restroom, you began your search for your other half. You checked all the normal places she would usually be when she couldn't sleep but had no luck. "Baby?" You ask heading into the nursery to find Paige struggling with the crib. The second you lay eyes on her, you can see the frustration radiating off of her. Paige doesn't hear you waddle in and lets out a groan. She had been trying to figure out this one side of your daughters crib for about 45 minutes now. She jumps when she feels hands on her shoulders. "Baby, come back to bed," you say lightly. "Need to finish this," Paige puffs and you know it's not true. You begin to rub her shoulders. "Please," you say Paige keeps working on the crib. "Baby, come back to bed," you say no longer requesting but demanding. "Gotta finish," Paige says. You stand there for a second and look at Paige clearly making no progress. Normally this would bug you but being so tired, you really just want to her back in bed with you. "Why do you need to finish tonight?" You ask your wife. Paige's hands finally settle as her shoulders slump. She turns so she is facing you now, her head resting on your little girls bump. "Everything needs to be perfect for her," Paige whispers. Your hands come to rest on her head as you smooth her hair over. "It will be," you say. "But you know what won't be perfect? You, if you don't come back to bed with me." Paige kisses your bump then make a move to stand. It was her way of saying you are right without having to say a word. You kiss her lips softly as you grab her hand and lead her back to your shared bed. Once you are comfortable again with Paige next to you, you are finally content. "Everything will be perfect because she has you as her mom. You may not think it is perfect, but it will be because you are you," you say as sleep overtakes you again. Paige inches closer to you and you inch away. "Too hot," you mutter practically asleep. Paige lets out a little laugh because of course you would go to find her in the middle of the night and force her back to bed only to not cuddle her. But she couldn't be mad, she could never be mad at you.
Paige would never want to leave Mia's side. Paige was always more than willing to be the one to change Mia or grab her from her naps. The two of them had become the best of friends.
You and Paige are on the couch when Mia begins to cry. Paige immediately shoots up and goes over to Mia and picks her up. "Shhhhh," she says softly. "I got you baby, Mommy's got you." You watch as Paige consoles your 3-month old baby girl and you can't help but smile. Paige rocks Mia as she begins to settle. You don't know how Paige did it but Mia loves her. Paige has the ability to calm Mia down every time as she knows exactly what she wants. Paige comes to sit down next to you with Mia in her arms. Mia's eyes are wide open as she is just looking up at Paige. "She loves you so much," you say as you watch Mia watch Paige. Paige leans in to rub her nose to Mia's which causes Mia to blink and smile. "She loves me because she takes after her mom, who I happen to know loves me more than anyone else," Paige says and your smile widens. "I don't know about that," you say teasing your wife. Her head shoots up to look at you. "What?" She says offended that you didn't immediately say that she was the person you loved most. Your eyes never leave Mia and Paige knows. "Fine, I guess I am okay with sharing you with Mia," Paige says dramatically. It is now your turn to look at Paige. "Let's be real, if it came down to it we would both choose Mia," you say. Paige kisses Mia's head. "Mommy's right, you have all of our love, don't you?" Paige says to Mia. "And that is never going to change baby."
Once Mia a toddler, Paige already has a basketball in her hands. That only increases as Mia continues to grow. It is when Mia is three when Paige starts taking her onto the court during games.
"Mia!" Hailey says as she comes over and crouches down in front of the little girl. Mia waddles over to Hailey with a smile. Hailey has a basketball in her hands that she put down to see Mia - Mia being Paige's daughter ignores Hailey and goes for the basketball. "Well, I tried," Hailey says letting Mia carry the ball. Paige laughs. "That's my girl," Paige says as Mia brings Paige the basketball. Mia has a giant smile on her face as she throws the ball at Paige. It wasn't uncommon for for Paige and Mia to pass a basketball back and forth. It was actually a very common occurrence in your home and if anyone asked you, you wouldn't be able to tell them who loved it more, Paige or Mia. Paige bounces the ball back to Mia who catches it and starts to walk around. "She's already got some handle," Hailey says. "Of course she does, do you know who her mother is?" Paige says proudly. Hailey answers with your name. "Hey!" Paige says pushing her teammate. Hailey laughs and Paige picks Mia up. "You take after me don't you?" Paige asks Mia and Mia nods without really know whats going on. Mia points to the hoop and Paige knows exactly what that means. Paige sets Mia down and holds her hands out for Mia to pass her the ball. Mia throws the ball to Paige and she drains the three. Mia claps and walks back over to her asking to be picked up. Paige picks her up and walks over to you on the sideline. The second Mia sees you, she has her arms stretched out for you. As much as Mia loves Paige, she also loves you. "Hi baby girl," you say as you take Mia back from Paige. "Did you have fun with mommy?" Mia nods and yells 'yes'. "Did mommy have fun?" You ask Paige as Paige kisses the top of your head. "She always does," Paige says as her arm snakes around your waist. "Great game mommy," you say to Paige. "Ehh, could have been better," Paige says and you roll your eyes. Paige had a solid double-double and shot above her average. It was a good game for her. "Whatever you say," you say. "Mia, you want to come with Mommy to the pressor?" Paige asks, knowing she has no idea what that means but knows it will be with her. Mia nods and you pass your little one back to Paige. "She is all yours," you say and Paige leans over to give you a quick peck. "We will see you soon, wave bye to mommy," Paige says and Mia waves at you. You smile at your family and wave back.
As your daughter grows up, Paige makes it a point to always spend time with her especially with how crazy her schedule can be with playing in the W. It doesn't matter how tired Paige may be, when she has time at home, she is spending it with you and Mia. You don't know how she does it.
You look at the clock and see that you have been without Paige for quite some time. When Paige was home at night, she always insisted on doing Mia's bedtime routine. You get up and go look for your wife. You walk into Mia's room to find Mia sleeping in Paige's arms as she is in the same sleeping pose as Paige. You can't help but smile and snap a photo of the two before coming over and grabbing Mia out of Paige's arms. Paige stirs just as you have Mia completely out of her arms. "Mmm, what's happening?" Paige asks, voice thick with sleep. "Don't worry babe," you say as you put a sleeping Mia down carefully. Paige is now standing and rubbing her eyes. She reaches out her hand for you which you gladly take. Leading Paige to your bedroom, she plops on the bed and you crawl up next to her. Paige snakes her arm around your waist as her head finds your shoulder. You and Paige would always fight over who got to be the little spoon and she often won the battle. You rub her back as you feel her sigh. "How you doing momma?" You ask her. "Mmm tired,' she says. "You have been doing it all," you tell her. "Our superstar." "Just want to be Paige," she mutters as a giggle escapes your lips. You kiss her head and whisper an 'I love you'. Paige mutters it back to you as the two of you fall asleep the same way you did while in college.
AN: Paige as mom is something else - she would be the literal best mom. That is just my opinion - it is giving me Stewie mom vibes, let me now what you think. And as always, thank you for your love and support đ

âšââĄâ⥠jim refuses to leave the office without you after your lame boyfriend forgets to pick you up from work.. again..
warnings: just a little bit of angst, jim is jealous and frustrated, comfort (?), slight fluff, cheating (but not really???)
a/n: ditzy!reader only has a boyfriend in this fic alone, not as part of her entire !reader lore <3 send in jim reqâs!
âbyeee!â you adjusted the pink scarf around your neck as phyllis and bob vance from âvance refrigerationâ drove away, both of them waving at you with wide smiles plastered on their faces. god, it was cold out here. âcome on, roy..â you whispered to yourself, poking your head out to look at the entrance of the parking lot. small clouds formed with each breath you exhaled, the cold pennsylvania air nipping at the skin of your cheeks and the tip of your nose. you watched as everyone filed out of the building one by one, your heart sinking to your stomach as the sun set further down the horizon.
sighing out in frustration, you scrambled through your purse for your phone, the bag slipping from your fingers before the contents tumbled out onto the concrete. you laughed to yourself, just thinking about how much more embarrassing can this get. your boyfriend had obviously forgotten all about picking you up for the second time this week, your favorite lipglosses are rolling down the pavement, the tubes only getting further out of armâs reach, and your skirt is far too tight for you to pick up your stuff without looking awkward and frazzled.
âthis is the worst..â you speed walked down the parking lot, your heels clicking against the walkway until jim came out, wasting no time in jogging over. âhey, what are you still doing here?â he followed your line of vision, quickly getting your stuff off of the ground before towering over you. your cheeks always heated at the height difference between you two, a hint of a smile playing on jimâs lips when he saw the flustered expression on your pretty face. ân-no reason! uhm, something came up with roy, so iâmââ before you could finish whatever lie was going to slip from your tongue, he interrupted you.
âagain? does he know itâs like twenty degrees out here?â
jim was irritated to say the leastâ but not with you. never at you. he took off his coat, draping it over your shoulders before guiding you back inside. âwait here while i go warm up the car real quick, alright?â he didnât give you time to object, leaving you in the warm lobby as he stepped out in nothing but a button up. deciding to dial roy one more time, you rolled your eyes when the call went straight to voicemail. you shouldâve known it wouldnât have gone through. throwing the damned thing back in your purse, you didnât wait longer than five minutes before jim pulled up right out front.
he opened the door for you, his face bright red from the cold as he motioned for you to come outside. âjim, you really donât have to do this! i was just about to go to the bus stop.â you stayed seated, shrugging off his coat as he shook his head. âand let you sit out in this weather? absolutely not.â he almost sounded offended, his tall figure coming inside once again to scoop you up in his arms. âreally, jim, it wouldnât be the first time, iââ opening the passenger door, he sat you down gently, cutting you off before you could make up a ridiculous excuse for your boyfriend who clearly didnât care if you froze halfway to death.
when jim was in his seat, he couldnât help but squeeze the steering wheel with an unforgiving grip. âiâm sure roy got caught up with something, itâs fine, truly!â why were you still trying to defend him? roy was the last person who deserved to be with you. the guy doesnât even send you work flowers for christâs sake! he blatantly checks out other girls in front of you, which jim could never wrap his head around because to him you were the only person who existed inside of a room, he never let you go out with your work buddies, and he sure as hell never complimented you.. at least not in the way you should be getting complimented.
it took a lot to get jim upset, but seeing the way your smile falters when roy dismisses something you say, or the way the sparkle in your eyes dim when he doesnât react to something new about you. your hair, for example. you had got it done, the style suiting you perfectly, making you look so cute and pretty, all just for roy to not even acknowledge your new âdo. he remembered you having to excuse yourself to the ladies room and seeing your glossy eyes avoid everyoneâs gaze as you zoned out of the conversation roy was so focused on rambling about once you came back.
so bad, jim just wanted to ask what on earth you saw in him. of course, he wouldnât do that, but heâd be lying if he said he didnât wrack his brain pretty often for an answer. âiâm sure he got busy,â jim agreed, not wanting to push the situation, âdo you think heâs home?â you blinked. he definitely had to be at home. âno.â you lied, meeting jimâs eyes, âwhy?â please ask me out, please ask me out, you repeated in your head. âah, well, i donât know about you, but i can really go for a hot chocolate from retroâs..â retros. that was your usual spot for whenever jim treated you to lunch.. which was almost everyday.
please say yes, please say yes, he pleaded silently as a sudden smile made its way to your lips. âwith jumbo marshmallows and a croissant?â jim chuckled. âyeah, whatever you want.â

I need Sebastian's reaction to some divers flashing little octo boyđđźđđź
SQUIDDLE ME THAT
words: 2,1k
tags: octopus hybrid reader, platonic relationship with sebastian, sebastian gets protective
authors note: I wrote the part before the flashing scene yesterday and had to add your request at the end, hope you don't mind some extra content!
Having a little octopus hybrid running loose was a challenge on its own. God forbid that Sebastian take his three eyes off you for even a secondâyou'd either wilt from loneliness or start creating a mess in a bid to reclaim his attention.
One such instance involved you folding his newly sorted files into funny little paper boats, which you then gently rocked over a random puddle that had started to develop in the corner of his shop. The first time you did this, Sebastian was initially impressed that you'd found something to do on your own. He even joined in, taking a sheet of printed paper and folding it into a rather shoddy boat, chuckling until he realizedâthese were his important assets!
Sebastian learned quickly from that incident. He made it his mission to keep you occupied, providing you with paper and pencils to draw pictures instead. Soon, his shop was filled with your artwork, pinned up on every wall. He couldnât help but find your efforts endearingâmost of your drawings were of the two of you, and they filled his heart with a warmth he wasn't accustomed to feeling.
âYou know, I think you're starting to develop an eye for arââ Sebastian began to say, but as he turned around, you were gone. You had simply vanished from sight. However, the trail of suction-cup marks on the floor was a clear indicator that you'd slipped through the vent and were now somewhere outside the shop.
Panic surged through him as he quickly made his way out, calling your name and checking every room. You were small and had a short attention spanâsurely, you couldnât have gotten far.
And then he saw it. You were standing face-to-face with a Squiddle. The scene was bizarre: the Squid Monster hovered slightly above the ground, its âeyesâ locked onto you with what could only be described as confusion. You, on the other hand, were trying to mimic the creature, leaping up and attempting to hover in the air, only to be defeated by gravity each time.
Sebastian froze for a moment, his panic shifting to a mix of concern and disbelief. The Squiddle seemed more perplexed than hostile, perhaps unsure of what to make of this smaller, more enthusiastic "squid" that was now mimicking its every move. You, in your innocent curiosity, were completely absorbed in your game of imitation, oblivious to the potential danger.
Sebastian approached cautiously, not wanting to startle either of you. âHey, buddy,â he called softly, trying to get your attention without alarming the Squiddle. âWhat are you doing over there?â
You turned to him, eyes wide and full of excitement, as if proud of your new friend. Sebastian's heart skipped a beat seeing how happy you were, but he knew he had to get you away from the creature before anything went wrong.
âCome on,â he coaxed, holding out his hand. âLetâs leave the big guy alone, okay? Weâve got plenty of drawing to do back at the shop.â
Reluctantly, you took his hand, casting one last curious glance at the Squiddle before allowing Sebastian to lead you away. The creature watched you go, still floating in place, before it finally drifted off, no longer interested in the odd encounter.
Back at the shop, Sebastian let out a deep sigh of relief. He knelt down to your level, ruffling the top of your head gently. âYouâve really got a knack for finding trouble, you know that?â
You gave him a sheepish grin, and he couldnât help but smile back. âAlright, how about we stick to drawing for a while, huh? Maybe we can work on some more pictures of us. Just... letâs keep the paper boats on hold for now, okay?â
You nodded eagerly, and Sebastian led you back inside, silently vowing to keep an even closer eye on you from now on.
Sebastian! You there?â a male voice called out as a customer clambered through the vent. Sebastian, already familiar with the type of people who usually wandered into his shopârude pricks deserving their prison sentencesâacted quickly. Without a second thought, he wrapped you in a blanket and gently but hurriedly stuffed you into a spacious locker, hiding you from the potentially mean human.
âAh, welcome~â he greeted the customer with an air of nonchalance, shifting into his usual role as a shopkeeper. He led the man through a small conversation, maintaining his outward calm even though his thoughts were with you.
Meanwhile, inside the locker, you pressed your arms and tentacles against the metal walls, trying to push your way back to Sebastian. The dark, cramped space fueled a growing sense of anxiety. You didnât understand why heâd suddenly hidden you away like this. Did you do something wrong? Did he stop liking you?
Fear and confusion spiraled in your little head until they became too much to bear. The only logical response, as far as you were concerned, was to scream. Tears streamed down your face as you wailed loudly, feeling abandoned and terrified. The darkness was cold, and being alone felt like the worst punishment imaginable.
Sebastian, who was busy trying to offload some junk onto the prisoner, froze when your piercing scream cut through the conversation. The customer blinked in surprise, glancing toward the sound. âWhat the hell was that?â
Sebastianâs mind raced as he tried to think of a plausible excuse. âUh, faulty alarm system,â he lied, forcing a smile. âThis place is falling apart, you know? Iâll get it fixed. Now, about that flashlight you were interested inâŚâ
But the scream came again, louder this time, filled with pure distress. Sebastianâs heart clenched with guilt. The customer raised an eyebrow but seemed more annoyed than concerned. âYou might want to take care of that. Sounds like somethingâs dying in there.â
âYeah, yeah, Iâll handle it,â Sebastian muttered, barely containing his irritation as he hurried the man toward the exit. âThanks for stopping by, and donât forget to tell your non-existing friends about the shop!â
As soon as the customer was out of sight, Sebastian practically âsprintedâ back to the locker. Your cries were breaking his heartâhe hadnât meant to scare you, but in his haste to protect you, heâd overlooked how youâd feel being stuffed in there.
He flung the locker door open and immediately pulled you out, wrapping you in his arms. âHey, hey, itâs okay,â he murmured, holding you close as you continued to sob. âIâm so sorry, I didnât mean to scare you.â
You clung to him desperately, burying your face in his chest, your tears soaking into his shirt. Sebastian felt like the worst person in the world for making you feel this way. âI was just trying to keep you safe,â he explained softly, rubbing your back in soothing circles. âI didnât want that guy to see you. But I shouldnât have locked you up like that. Iâm sorry.â
Gradually, your sobs began to quiet, though you still held onto him tightly, afraid he might push you away again. Sebastian continued to whisper apologies and reassurances, promising that he would never do something like that again.
Finally, you lifted your head, looking at him with tear-streaked eyes. âYouâre okay,â he said gently, wiping away your tears with his thumb. âIâm not mad at you. I could never be mad at you.â
Your grip on him tightened, and Sebastian could feel the tremble in your small body slowly subside. He stood there for a long moment, holding you close, letting you know through his actions that you were safe and loved.
After a while, he carried you over to a cushioned seat, sitting down with you still wrapped in his arms. âYouâre my little partner, okay?â he said, his voice softer than usual. âIâm always going to take care of you. Just⌠no more screaming like that, alright? You almost gave me a heart attack.â
You nodded weakly, sniffling but feeling a bit better now that you were back in his comforting embrace. Sebastian gave a small, relieved smile, brushing your hair away from your face. âThatâs better,â he said, rocking you gently. âLetâs just stay here for a while. No more hiding, I promise.â
ââ
It was an unusually busy day in the shop, with a steady stream of prisoners coming through the vents, all of them more obnoxious than the last. Sebastian had been on edge, keeping a close eye on you as you busied yourself with drawing on a scrap of paper behind some boxes to hide you out of the sight from the visitors. He didnât want a repeat of the locker incident, so he made sure you were always within armâs reach.
But even Sebastian couldnât anticipate everything.
As a particularly rough-looking prisoner stomped into the shop, his eyes darting around suspiciously, you instinctively curled a little closer to Sebastian. The man was big, with a scarred face and a sneer that made your skin crawl. Sebastian noticed your discomfort and subtly shifted his body to block the prisonerâs view of you.
âWhat do you want?â Sebastian asked, his tone curt and to the point.
The prisoner didnât answer right away, his gaze flicking over the various items on the shelves. âJust browsing,â he muttered, though there was a malicious glint in his eyes that set off alarm bells in Sebastianâs head.
Sebastianâs grip tightened on the counter. âWe donât have all day. Either buy something or get out.â
The prisonerâs sneer widened, clearly enjoying the tension he was causing. As if on a whim, he suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small deviceâa flashbeacon. Before Sebastian could react, the prisoner activated it, directing the blinding flash of light straight at you.
You let out a terrified yelp, your sensitive eyes overwhelmed by the sudden burst of light. Instinctively, you tried to shield yourself, curling up and covering your eyes with your tentacles as best as you could. But the damage was doneâthe intense flash had disoriented you, leaving you scared and vulnerable.
Sebastianâs protective instincts kicked in instantly. Without a second thought, he lunged forward, shoving the prisoner hard against the nearest wall. âWhat the hell do you think youâre doing?!â he snarled, his voice dripping with fury.
The prisoner barely had time to register what was happening before Sebastianâs hand was around his throat, pinning him to the wall with a strength that belied his usually calm demeanor. âYou think you can just walk in here and pull something like that?â Sebastian growled, his three eyes narrowing dangerously. âYouâve got some nerve.â
The prisoner, now realizing heâd severely miscalculated, struggled to speak, his face turning red as he choked out, âIt⌠it was just a joke!â
Sebastianâs grip tightened, making it clear he wasnât amused. âThat âjokeâ could have seriously hurt them,â he spat, nodding toward you. âYou donât mess with my shop, and you sure as hell donât mess with them.â
With a final shove, Sebastian released the prisoner, who staggered back, clutching his throat and gasping for air. âGet out,â Sebastian ordered, his voice low and menacing. âAnd if I ever see you here again, youâll regret it.â
The prisoner didnât need to be told twice. He scrambled for the vent, shooting one last fearful glance at Sebastian before disappearing as quickly as heâd come.
Sebastian took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger still coursing through his veins. Then he turned to you, his expression softening as he saw you huddled on the floor, still reeling from the flash.
He rushed over to you, kneeling down and gently pulling your tentacles away from your eyes. âHey, hey, itâs okay,â he said softly, his heart aching at the sight of you trembling. âItâs over now. Youâre safe.â
You blinked up at him, your vision still blurry, but you could see the concern etched on his face. Slowly, you uncurled from your protective ball, reaching out for him. Sebastian didnât hesitateâhe scooped you up into his arms, holding you close against his chest.
âIâm sorry,â he murmured, his voice filled with regret. âI shouldâve protected you better. But I promise, I wonât let anyone hurt you again.â
You clung to him, your small body still trembling slightly, but his warmth and the steady beat of his heart began to calm you down. You knew Sebastian was strong, and as long as you were with him, you felt safe.

summary: luke takes the risk and admits his feelings for you
warnings: a couple instances of cursing, mostly fluff, awkward dialogue
word count: 1.40k
âLuke, if you donât get your ass over there right now, Iâm gonna do it for you.â
Luke turned back around in his chair, reluctantly meeting the sets of eyes boring at him. Dawson let out a snort at Luke's sheepish face. âLook at his cheeks, heâs blushing.â Dawson laughed.
Luke rolled his eyes, taking a sip from his glass. His drink, purchased over an hour ago, had now become watered down and lukewarm.
âYouâre such a pussy.â Jack taunted, sipping from his bottle.
âOkay, fuck off guys,â Luke muttered.
Luke fought the urge to look back over his shoulder where he knew heâd spot you still, dancing freely with your friends. Your body swaying and twirling along with the beat, hand in hand with your friend.
âLuke, câmon, sheâs been in Jersey for⌠what, six months now? And you still havenât made a move.â Nico pointed out.
âSheâs⌠weâre just friends,â Luke said, pulling his eyes onto his glass.
âOh please, Luke, youâre not fooling anyone with that whole âweâre just friendsâ bullshit,â Jack said, his tone practically a laugh.
Luke opened his mouth to retaliate but shut it promptly when he realized he had nothing. Luke had spent countless nights replaying your interactions, dissecting every smile, every laugh, every glance. But nothing gave him a clear answer on what your relationship was.
He remembered the first time you met. One of Lukeâs first days on campus heâd gone to the rink to film some content for the Michigan Hockey social media. Your eyes caught Luke first, sparkling as you instructed him on the content he needed to film and the various photos to take.
He got to know you over the year, and your relationship developed into something that felt like more than friends, but you never actually crossed that barrier.
You laughed at his jokes, but then again you laughed at everyone's jokes. You smiled wide at him, but you smiled at everyone. The ambiguity drove Luke mad. Sometimes, he thought he caught you looking at him, your gaze lingering a second longer than necessary. But then heâd dismiss it as wishful thinking. Maybe you were just friendly. Maybe you were just nice.
Then, early this summer when you gave the news of your hiring by the Devils to Luke, he felt that maybe heâd get to clarify what you were. But six months of you being in New Jersey had come and gone, and the status of your relationship still hung up in the air.
âLook, Luke, just go talk to her,â Dawson said, his tone softer. âWhatâs the worst that could happen?â
Luke knew the worst. The worst that could happen was you telling him you didnât see him that way. That you valued your friendship but nothing more. The worst was losing the ease and comfort of your current relationship. The late-night conversations, the inside jokes, the shared secrets.
But the best? The best was you feeling the same way he did. The best was the possibility of something deeper, real and deep. That thought alone made his heart race and his palms sweat.
âGuys I⌠I donât know.â Luke admitted, his voice low and barely audible above the music in the bar. âWhat if she doesnât feel the same way?â
Nico smiled softly, recognizing the nervous demeanour of the younger boy. âLuke, youâll never know unless you go for it. And if she doesnât feel the same way, at least youâll have your answer. You can move on. But if she does⌠think about it, man. Think about how amazing that could be.â
Luke thought about it. Thought about what could be between the two of you. And right now the best was seeming like it was worth the risk.
Luke took a deep breath, his mind racing. He glanced over at you one last time, seeing the way you laughed and moved so effortlessly. The fear of rejection loomed over him, but something shone through and pushed him forward. He watched as you said something in your friend's ear, before laughing and sauntering over to the bar.
âAlright,â Luke said, standing up and setting his glass down. âIâm gonna do it.â
âAttaboy!â Dawson cheered, while Jack and Nico whooped in encouragement. Luke gave them a look and they quieted their cheering. The last thing Luke wanted was for the boys to freak you out before he even got a chance to speak.
Luke leaned on the bar next to you, flagging down the bartender before you got the chance to. âHey, man, can I get a Heineken and a Jack and Coke?â
You shot Luke a small, appreciative smile, your heart tensing slightly at him remembering your usual drink order. âYou didnât have to do that.â
âYeah, but I wanted to,â Luke said, glancing over at you with a small smirk tugging on his lips.
Once you got your drinks, Luke fully turned to you, heart pounding. âHaving fun out there?â Luke asked, nodding towards the dance floor.
You laughed, a sounds that was melodic in Lukeâs ears. âYeah, you should join us.â
Luke chuckled, shaking his head. âMaybe later. I'm more of an observer than a dancer.â
You raised an eyebrow, teasingly. âOh really? I seem to remember a certain someone busting some moves at that team party last month.â
Luke felt his cheeks heat up at the memory. âOkay, okay, maybe I dance a little. But only for special occasions.â
âWhat? Is tonight not special?â you asked, taking a sip from your drink.
He leaned in slightly, eyeing your face for any hint of where you were going with this. âIt is now.â
Your eyes widened slightly, caught off-guard by his sudden boldness. âLuke Hughes, are you flirting with me?â
Luke grinned, feeling a rush of adrenaline run through his veins. âMaybe. Is it working?â
You bit your lip, fighting back a grin. Despite him trying to keep a calm exterior, you could tell that Lukes mind was running a million miles a minute. âMaybe. Why donât you tell me whatâs going on in that pretty little head of yours?â
Luke took a deep breath, deciding that it was now or never. He set his bottle down on the bar top, wiping his damp hands hands, either from sweat or the condensation of his bottle, on his shirt. âOkay, here it goes,â Luke said under his breath. âWeâve known each other for a while now, and⌠Iâve really enjoyed getting to know you. Youâre amazing, and I love spending time with you.â
Your smile widened, but you stayed silent, giving him the space to continue.
âI guess what Iâm trying to say is⌠I have feelings for you. More than just friends. Iâve been trying to figure out if you feel the same way, but I canât tell. So, Iâm just gonna come out and say it: I like you. A lot.â
Your expression softened, a mixture of surprise and something else that Luke dared to hope was mutual affection. "Luke⌠I don't know what to say."
âSay you feel the same way,â Luke said, his voice slightly desperate. âOr tell me you donât, just give me something, anything.â
âLuke,â you began, your voice filled with warmth. âIâve been waiting for you to say that.â
His eyes widened in surprise. âReally?â
You nodded, a smile spreading across your face. âYeah. Iâve liked you for a long time too. I just wasnât sure if you felt the same way.â
Relief washed over Luke, and he couldnât help but grin. âSo⌠does this mean we can give this a shot? Us, I mean.â
You leaned in closer, your eyes locked onto his. âIâd like that.â
Luke felt a wave of joy and excitement as he closed the distance between you, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. The bar around you seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of you in that moment. When you pulled back, you were both smiling, as months of pining had finally culminated.
âSo⌠where do we go from here?â Luke asked.
âHow about we start with a dance?â you suggested.
Luke laughed, feeling lighter than he had in months. "Alright, let's do it."
He took your hand, leading you to the dance floor, where you both lost yourselves in the music. As the night went on, Luke realized that taking the risk was the best decision he had ever made.

eyes on the monitor
pairing: mike schmidt x f!reader
summary: mike catches something on the security cameras that really shouldn't be happening at a family-friendly pizzeriaâeven an abandoned one
warnings: 18+ MDNI, stranger!reader, submissive!mike, trespassing, smut, m&f masturbation, public masturbation, voyeurism, exhibitionism, squirting, finger sucking, cum eating, looming danger
word count: 3k
Mike has seen a lot of things on the security monitors in his three short nights working at Freddy's.Â
Old animatronics that still roam about like they're possessed, cryptic messages written on dusty windows and mirrors. But he can honestly say he never saw this coming.
As the cameras shift from right to left, one of the screens glitches and crackles, and then there's you, tucked into a booth like you belong there. Except you don't. He's not even sure how you evaded his notice, let alone how you got into the building.
Don't you have any idea what's lurking in these halls? The dangers that patiently wait behind the curtained stage not even ten feet from where you're sitting? From where you're...
Fuck.
There's no way you possibly can because you're still lounging there without a care in the world, your legs spread wide and your jeans dangling off one ankle while you fuck yourself on your fingers. Two of them, your ring and middle, pump a steady rhythm in and out, dribbling slick all over the vinyl beneath you. You're so wet, even the camera's picking up the refracted light from the prize counter glinting off your pussy.
He should be panicked. He should be halfway to the auditorium by now to stop you, to drag you out of the pizzeria before the unthinkable happens, butâ
But he can't bring himself to move or stop watching. He can't stop himself from palming his stiffening cock through his pants, either. Your head lolls back onto the booth and your body readjusts, giving him the perfect view of your languid movements. Now, it's almost like you're on display just for him.
And suddenly, he doesn't care about Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, or Foxy. He definitely doesn't care about his job or whatever else that career counselor said on the phone. The only thing Mike cares about is getting his dick out as fast as humanly possible so he can match the calculated press of your fingers and your frustratingly unhurried pace.Â
You're thoroughly enjoying your pleasureâthat much is clearâand it would be so easy to just...join in. He'd planned on sleeping through his fourth night, but now that you're here, there's nothing else he'd rather be doing than spending his shift fucking his fist and pretending it's you.
It'd be wrong. So, so wrong, but as you continue on, completely oblivious to his inner turmoil, he can feel himself getting harder and harder. There's a growing wet patch on the front of his sweatpants that's getting difficult to ignore, and he nearly moans as he grinds the heel of his hand into his lap for relief.
His gaze trails down your figure, surprisingly clear on the aging monitors, and he watches, dry-mouthed, as your unoccupied hand snakes up your body to tweak a nipple through your shirt.Â
Fuck it, he can't take this anymore.
He yanks his pants down so fast, he's shocked he doesn't knock himself onto the floor, and hisses out a breath the moment his fingers wrap around himself. It aches with how good it feels, but he only allows his eyes to roll back for a split second before they're locked back on you.Â
And you're sexy as hell. Your shirt's been tugged up and tucked under your chin to reveal that you decided to forgo a bra, in addition to the rest of your inhibitions, and he's thanking every deity he doesn't believe in that he doesn't have to imagine the plush curve of your tits and how they'd look sucked into his mouth.
Crap. He can't keep thinking shit like that if he wants to last longer than a few minutes. Ignoring the angry pulsing against his palm, he starts to stroke himself in time with your thrusts, diligently following your lead. But you're moving so slowly like you've got all the time in the world in this abandoned wonderland you've claimed for yourself, and Mike's time is limited.Â
The longer this night goes on, the more restless they become, and it won't be long before those curtains open and you're interrupted. For good. There must be something seriously wrong with him, because he doesn't give a shit about that, either. They can wait. He's got another job to finish, and he needs this.
It's been so long since he last allowed himself to let go, and even longer since his body actually wanted to. He's harder than he's ever been in his life, and it's confusing and a little painful, and yet he hopes he lasts until his alarm goes off at 6 a.m., teetering on the edge of nirvana right alongside you. He wants you to make him cum so badly, and he knows you will, even if you don't know it yourself.
Tiny, hushed pleas escape him as your fingers speed up, begging you to coax him, to encourage him to be good for you and follow your every move. His office is too far from the auditorium for his words to carry, but he continues to moan them anyway, desperately. Obediently.
His eyes flutter closed as he succumbs to the fantasy of your lips grazing the shell of his ear, giving him firm instructions and praising him when he proves how well he can listen.
Such a good boy for me, Mike. A little faster, not too much. Nice and tight, just like that.
"Fuck. Like this? Is...is this okay?" he whimpers aloud, thumbing over the tip on his next upstroke.Â
His hips buck into his hand at the sensation, and he grits his teeth, anticipating an admonishment that never comes. He's more than a little disappointed.Â
That is, until he hears it, crystal clear as it filters through the cracked door and reverberates through his entire body. A needy, perfect moan, rising in pitch and volume with each passing moment. Yours.
You must've heard him, somehow. It's the only explanation. He has no idea how long he's been babbling, drunk on the tight, slick slide of skin against skin, but you're responding to it encouragingly like he's only ever imagined in his wettest dreams.
Mike's eyes shoot open, darting back to the monitor, and he has to grip the base of his cock tight to keep from cumming then and there. You're staring directly at the camera now, your chest heaving as you fuck yourself with three fingers, and he winces at how quickly his balls start to tighten.
He's going to cum. Shit. Shit.
But you didn't tell him he could. You're not even aware of the power you hold over him, and yetâ
"You sound close, baby. You gonna cum for me?"
He sees your lips move and then your voice rings out a moment later, breathy and labored, and...how the fuck did you end up in this place? Who are you? He fucks into his fist frantically, leaking precum all over his fingers, and he can feel sweat matting his dark curls to his forehead, pooling where his aching wrist meets his hip bone.Â
Maybe it doesn't even matter how or why you're in this pizzeria, not anymore. He can't stop anyway, not when you're urging him on and calling him baby. He feels delirious, blind to the rest of the security monitors and newly flickering lights. To the purple curtain slowly opening behind you.
Right now, it's just you and him. The familiar, searing heat in the pit of his groin, and the wet squelch of your fingers stroking your convulsing walls and rubbing tight circles into your clitâyou're both so close, he knows it. He just needs you to say it. He needs your permission.
"Only ifâ," he gasps, belatedly realizing that his other hand is cupping his balls, squeezing reflexively without his permission. "âonly if you say I can."
He watches your jaw drop, and your thighs begin to quake in response. Quicker than he can process, there's a sudden shift, and your gaze darkens mischievously to match the subtle quirk of your lips. You're in control now and you know it. You like it. He does, too.
Your pace doesn't slow at all and, instead, your hips begin to swivel into your touch, grinding into the sticky vinyl bench for more friction.Â
So, that turns you on, huh? If he strains his ears, he swears he can just make out the squeaking of a diner booth being pushed to its limit. He's never been more jealous of furniture in his life.
That could've been him, if only he'd manned up and done his damn job. He could've had you bent over that table or bouncing on his cock; felt you gushing around him, clamping down on him. You would've wrung him dry.
Turns out you still do, just from a little further away.Â
"Still hanging in there?" you coo from the other room, but the teasing in your voice is undercut by something headier. You sound wrecked.
His eyebrows pinch together, his expression almost pained, and he can feel that telltale pressure building, building.
"Y-yeah, but I...fuck, I can't hold it anymore," he whimpers, unable to keep his hips from snapping up into his hand. His thrusts are getting sloppier and tears are beginning to gather at the corners of his eyes. He wishes you could see him right now. "C-can I? Please."
Your fingers stutter and, for a second, he thinks he might've pushed you over the edge, but you recover just long enough to give him one final push. To tell him the one thing he's been longing to hear since he tugged down his pants and started playing your little game.
"Such a good boy," you repeat from earlier, a murmur that just barely reaches his ears, except this time it's really you and not just a fantasy. "Cum, baby. Let me hear you."
Then, his mind goes blissfully blank.
Mike doesn't just cum, he bursts. Soft whimpers taper into something guttural and animalistic as thick spurts coat his security vest and dribble down his length, soaking into the thick fabric of his sweatpants. He moans his way through it, nearly giving himself a friction burn with the intensity of his grip and speed. And he's loud, just like you told him to be. Much louder than he should be.
For a brief moment, his vision whites out, and he almost misses what he's been looking forward to all night. He blinks away the lingering spots obscuring his sight, and that's when it happens. Bathed in flashing green and yellow fluorescents, your entire body curls in on itself, shaking as your orgasm overcomes you and soaks the floor.Â
His cock jerks pathetically in his hand as you work yourself through it, your eyes heavy-lidded and still locked on the camera. After a few more pumps, you slump into your seat and remove your fingers from your cunt, sucking them wetly into your mouth.Â
He should get up. He should walk right into that auditorium with his dick still out so you can clean him up too, but he feels frozen in place. The skin at the back of his neck prickles and erupts into goosebumps and it feels like a warning, yet he still can't bring himself to look away from you.Â
So, he doesn't notice the purple curtain opening just a fraction more in the background, and the curved, silver hook that peeks out from behind it. The blood rushing in your ears and steady heaving of your chest masks the metallic rattling, leaving you dangerously in the dark, too.
But Mike's eyes on the monitor are just enough to keep the pirate in his cove, and you're captivating enough to ensure they stay there.Â
Sticky fingers twitch in his lap and, as if you can tell, you smirk around your own before pulling them free with a lewd pop. His mouth waters at the thought of what you must taste like and, unbeknownst to him, you're thinking the exact same about him. Since you're not there to help him yourself, you ask him to be good for you one last time.
"It's your turn," you laugh teasingly, swirling your tongue around your fingertips. "You should probably clean yourself up before you head home. It's almost six."
Heat curls low in his stomach and compels him to obey again. A cursory glance down at his watch tells him you're rightâhis alarm will go off soon, way sooner than he expected, and he's still covered in sweat and his own release. He could pop out of the office to the bathroom and be back before any real damage is done, probably. But that's not really what you're asking for.
"Tell me what you want me to do," he calls out, not bothering to hide the neediness in his voice. He's never experienced anything like thisâlike youâbefore and he's not sure he'll get the opportunity ever again.
"Lick it off. All of it," you instruct, dropping your fingers between your legs to swirl around your clit before popping them back into your mouth. Slowly, you show him exactly what you want, and he's a little horrified to realize he's getting hard again. "Can you do that for me?"
He nods quickly, forgetting you can't see his approval, but it doesn't matter, anyway. He's sucking the drying cum off his palm and fingers faster than he can reply, and his muffled responding moan tells you everything you need to know. After everything that's happened during this unexplainable night shift and everything you've made him feel, he'd likely do anything you asked.
"Such a good listener," you continue, ceasing your ministrations to lazily slip your underwear and jeans back into place.Â
He's hit with a sudden wave of panic. This can't be over yet. There's still so much mystery shrouding you and whatever connection you have to this place, and if you leave now, he'll be left wondering forever. He wants answers, but disappointingly, you only leave him with more questions.
"How did I get so lucky with you, huh? The other security guards weren't nearly this fun," you smirk, dropping another bomb he never saw coming.
Oh. Oh. He freezes as he finishes laving the remaining wetness between his thumb and index fingers, the reality of the situation finally making itself known. This isn't the first time you've done this. It's probably not even the second or third. This is a habit, and he's not the only unwitting participant to fall prey to your seduction.
Fuck, he knew you were too good to be true. He hates that his body's still fighting his rationality while you sit there genuinely believing you've done nothing wrong. So innocent and, yet, still such an enigma. No one's ever made him cum that hard but, thankfully, his head is finally clear enough to put a stop to all of this. It's time to do his job.
The opportunity presents itself almost immediately. The flickering lights that have progressively gotten worse since his shift started reach a fever pitch, and the familiar figure in the corner of the screen reveals itself, wrenching his attention away from you.Â
Mike barely has enough time to warn you before the screens start to glitchâevery single one of themâand display nothing more than lines and lines of meaningless code.Â
"You have to go. Now," he yells, struggling to be heard over the tinny screeching and jarring sounds of children's laughter crackling violently over the intercom. "Justâget out of here. Run, you have to run!"
He doesn't wait for a response, operating on autopilot as he wrestles his pants up and shoots out of his seat to the breaker box across the room. Terror and adrenaline pump through his veins, puppeteering him through the instructions left for him by Mr. Raglan.
Pull the lever down then back up, reset the power, and wait for the monitors to reboot. All he can do now is hope the machines don't deem you a threat and let you go. The room is plunged into darkness and the speakers go eerily silent.
Then, the systems come back online just like they're supposed to. But you're gone. He frantically searches the monitors for even a trace of you, evidence that you ever existed at all, but there's nothing. The only relief he's granted is that there's no blood or pieces of you scattered across the building. There's nothing at all.
Bracing himself on the desk in front of him, he breathes in desperate lungfuls of air, crashing from his adrenaline-fueled high and giving in to exhaustion. Just one more night. One more night at Freddy's, and he'll take that paycheck and never look back.
After a while of waiting for his panic to subside, his watch starts to beep, signaling the end of this night from hell. Fighting to ignore his conflicting feelings and lingering confusion, and even more so the phantom heat still licking at the base of his spine when he lets his thoughts stray back to you, he grabs his backpack and all but speed walks to the breaker to cut the power again.
As his fingers close around the lever, the intercom suddenly crackles to life. Something akin to hope blooms in his chest, and he whips around to see your image picked up by the camera at the entrance, radiant and unharmed under the morning sun of a new day.Â
You're smiling, and he can't find it in himself to care that he's smiling back. You turn to leave, then think better of it.
"Same time tomorrow?"Â
He scoffs, shaking his head at how ridiculous his life has become since he started this gig. If not even haunted animatronic mascots and the looming threat of death can't keep you away, then who is he to try?Â
Yeah. He'll see you tomorrow.
thanks for reading!

loss of my life II
alexia putellas x reader
word count: 0.5k
Bumping into you isnât on Alexia's plan.
part of the loml series
Alexia barely manages to read her sisterâs text when she bumps into someone, and she doesnât need to look up to know who that person isâa year isnât enough to erase the memory of you.
âAle?âÂ
Youâre holding onto Alexiaâs forearms to keep her from falling over. And Alexia... as much as her heart says otherwise, she doesnât appreciate the contact. Sheâs overwhelmed, thinking about how sheâs going to Mapi and Ingridâs house-warming party with you and your new Leah there.
Alexia is dreading the day and now she has to see you when she isnât prepared. At all.
âUhâsorry.â you seem to notice the blondeâs discomfort and let go of her arms.
Alexia steps back and clears her throat. âNo, no. Iâm the one who should be sorry, I didnât see where I was going.â
You give her a small smile and stay quietâneither of you know what to say to each other anymore. This is the first time after the break-up that youâre both alone with each other. No one else is around, just the two of you.Â
Alexia can feel her heart beating faster with every glance towards you and she really needs to get out of there.
Before she has the chance to give a reason to excuse herself, you speak up, âSo... how was your summer?â
Alexia just stares at you, great, you want to have small talk. Alexia knows she canât talk about you for more than five minutes without wanting to break out into a sob, how is she supposed to actually talk to you?
When Alexia doesnât answer, you furrow your eyebrows and fiddle with your fingersâa sign that means youâre nervous, Alexia still remembers. âUh, itâs okay if you donât want to answer. This is probably so weird.âÂ
Alexia shakes her head and tries her best to flash you a genuine smile, âIt was... okay, I guess. Nothing interesting. How about you?â
You smile back, and Alexia really hates how your smile still has an effect on her. âIt was okay, too. I went to London and it was nice, but I miss Barcelona every second I was away.â
Alexia nods in reply. A silence then falls over you. Alexia knows you donât feel the same way she does, but the longer Alexia spends within your presence, the better she feels. Alexia figures youâre the antidote to her painâher heart cherishes every second of this brief encounter with you, her soul finally content that itâs finally within armâs reach with the person it has been yearning for so much.
Thinking back to what Mapi said⌠How is Alexia supposed to find someone else? Because after you said that you need to go and she has to watch you leave, there is nothing more Alexia wants to do than to scream your name and beg you to stay.

MY MASTERLIST
"You've ruined my life-"
Now this was new.
Eddie Munson, reigning freak of Hawkins High, was used to being avoided by most. On account of some stupid reason such as him being a devil worshipper and the likes.
Never had he thought to have enough influence or social presence to actually ruin someone's life. Unless they were trying to put their bad luck on him which... shouldn't surprise him at all.
Oh, to have such power...
He scoffed immediately losing himself to a daydream reality in which he actually had magic powers. Now that was a thought!
As he went to slam his locker door close, another piece of paper caught his eye.
What now?
"by not being mine." Read this one.
What?
Putting the two pieces of paper together he saw that it had been torn apart but it was actually the same piece of paper originally. So the complete message was "You've ruined my life by not being mine."
Rolling his eyes he closed his locker, now sure that it was just someone taking the piss out of him. Chuckling he threw the two pieces of paper in the trash without sparing them a second thought.
Little did he know, someone was watching him in that moment who, alas, didn't mean it as a joke at all.
"Oh well," they thought without losing spirit, "tomorrow we'll try again."
And try again they did. Every day, they would leave two little messages in Eddie's locker. One was to be found when he arrived at school and the other at the end of the day.
After the first two, which Eddie blatantly dismissed, he actually kept the rest of them. So, one day, after almost a week had gone by in this weird fashion, Eddie sat down in his room and put all the pieces together.
Tongue peeking out in concentration, Eddie rearranged them in chronological order. This proved more difficult than he thought because the messages weren't dated, of course, and they got all mixed up in the box where he had stored them.
After a while of playing Sherlock Holmes, he thought he got it. It added up to something like this:
You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face 'Cause look at your face And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way But what can I say? You're gorgeous
He thought for a moment that he had made a mistake. He must have. Maybe they didn't have to be put in chronological order to be deciphered. Maybe there was another code he needed to figure out.
And so he tried to find one. For hours.
At one point he had to give up. Eddie plopped down on his bed. A frustrated scoff left him when he thought how much time he had wasted on this stupid thing.
Someone was messing with him. They must be.
The idea that those pieces of paper held a confession for him, never crossed his mind. It was unfathomable for Eddie to think that someone at school might actually think he was gorgeous. All he could think about was who the hell hated him so much to pull a prank this elaborate.
The next time Eddie went to school, he was hesitant to open his locker. Last time it was only some pieces of paper, but what if, with time, his pranker had grown bolder? Who knows what he was going to find this time.
When he finally did, though, he'd found that he needn't be scary. Eddie sighed in relief as yet another piece of paper fell to the ground by his feet.
This time, the paper had a distinct flowery scent to it. Eddie knew nothing of perfumes, let alone women's ones. But it was nice, he thought as he sniffed it again. He liked it. The other thing that was different this time, was the colour of the message. It was lilac and it read:
I'm caught up in you Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun and when you're close I feel like coming undone
Turns out that his secret admirer had become bolder indeed. Just not in the way Eddie expected. "Untouchable"? Him? People tended to stay away from him either because they believed the devil-worshipper rumours or not to taint their social standing. So he was having a hard time imagining someone coming undone in his presence.
Still not fully convinced this was genuine, Eddie shoved the piece of paper in his jeans as the bell rang.
Yet again, you watched as he walked away none the wiser of your presence. You knew that it was going to be hard to get Eddie to notice you. Even this way. However, you couldn't help but feel frustrated and helpless. You thought the perfume had been too much but a part of you hoped it'd be enough for Eddie to connect the dots.
"Not yet, I guess", you thought as you made your way to your class as well. I need to get even bolder.
You usually weren't this insistent. In fact, it wasn't really in your nature. Maybe that was why Eddie was having such a hard time connecting the dots and linking the pieces of paper back to you.
You had known him for a while now. Since the first year of high school. Well, your first year. Eddie had been in his first senior year. You had seen him in the cafeteria one day at lunch, doing one of his usual spectacles. Before that day you had only heard his name being whispered like a bad word amongst the other students.
Being new to the area, you didn't really understand what that was all about. Who was this Eddie? And why was he so famous that everyone knew him but at the same time, no one had actually talked to him?
Then you began to understand little by little. As the days passed you seemed to gather a lot of information about the guy, albeit against your will. It's just that everyone seemed to talk about him.
He honestly didn't seem that bad to you. You thought he was cute and quite endearing. He seemed to have strong opinions and a defined personality, which you admired. Maybe that was why people at school were so reticent about him. He stood out wherever he was and not for the reason people evilly whispered between them.
You were already halfway there but when you saw him interact with the younger kids one day, you were definitely gone. The crush turned more into an adoration with time.
And even though you had talked to him a few times, you had never tried to shoot your shot. Not until now, at least. You were tired of always dreaming about him and what it'd be like to be with him. For the first time in your life, you were adamant about turning your dreams into reality. You only needed to get the guy.
And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream It's like a million little stars spelling out your name In the middle of the night waking from this dream I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me
This time, you had really put yourself out there. You didn't think you could be more obvious than this. Not only did you write the message with your favourite lilac pen, and spray a little bit of your perfume on the piece of paper, you also left a kiss on it. A glossy pink imprint of your mouth.
It was your favourite lipgloss. You wore it every day.
You only hoped that Eddie would notice. Otherwise, you had to take an even more drastic approach. One you dreaded. You had to go and talk to him. Ugh! Only thinking about it made you nauseous.
Little did you know, you didn't need to worry. It was going to end sooner than you thought.
You were at school bright and early as usual that day. The official excuse was that you needed to sort out something for the school paper. But really, you needed to slip the piece of paper into Eddie's locker without anyone seeing you.
That morning, however, you weren't the only one at school at that hour. Usually, Eddie was one of the last to show up. Often, at the last bell or late. However, the principal had called him to tell him that if he kept showing up late he wouldn't have permission to host Hellfire. Hence why he was one of the first ones to show up that day.
Whistling some random tune, Eddie was carelessly rolling through the hallways and about to turn to his locker when he spotted you. His whistling immediately stopped and he spoke without thinking.
"Y/n?"
His voice startled you so much that you flinched and almost slipped your foot retreating from the locker.
"Oh, h-hi Eddie!" you squeaked as you turned to face him.
"What..." he trailed as he took you in.
"Oh, uhm," you stumbled over your words trying to come up with something to say.
He was still looking at you with a questioning gaze. Standing so close to his locker and visibly nervous... Still, he didn't think anything of it. He was just curious to know why you were here.
That was until a piece of paper floated on the ground in between you and him. Both of your eyes were immediately drawn to it.
"Fuck", you silently swore to yourself. The piece of paper you trying to push inside his locker must have gotten stuck and then got loose exposing you to him at last.
You swallowed nervously and stepped back, almost as if you were trying to make a run for it. But this was the moment you had been waiting for! Stop being a coward and talk to him! you chided yourself as you forced your feet to stay put.
In the meantime, Eddie was still putting the pieces together. His eyes were looking between you and the piece of paper on the ground. Then his locker.
The paper. You. His locker. Then you again.
"God," you thought, "how slow can this boy be?!"
"It's me," you blurted out after a while, unable to bear this uncomfortable situation any longer. "I'm your secret admirer," you whispered when his eyes shot up to you.
"You?" he said, voice filled with disbelief.
You winced at the tone of his voice, assuming the worst.
"Surprise," you exclaimed weekly trying to laugh it off. Emphasis on trying.
But Eddie was yet to say anything and was only staring at you dumbfounded. So, you started to blabber nervously to fill the silence.
"I'm sorry if I wasn't who you were expecting. I-"
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, I-"
"I didn't think you'd be this cruel."
"What?"
"I always thought you were cool but to pull a prank like this...," hell Eddie thought you were more than cool actually. "It's not funny, you know."
A prank?
"Wha- Hold on," you called after him when you saw he was about to leave. "Wait. What do you mean a prank? This is not a prank."
"Yeah, sure," he scoffed, "and you really think I'm- what was it- gorgeous and all that shit?"
"Well, yeah," you admitted shyly. "I've had a crush on you for a while, Eddie." You toyed with your feet, too embarrassed to look at him.
"Then why haven't you said anything before?" he asked still sceptical.
"It's not easy to go to the person you like and tell them, you know," you scoffed as if what he was insinuating was preposterous. Even though it actually wasn't...
"So you left these in my locker instead," he said pointing to the piece of paper that was still on the ground.
You scrolled your shoulders at that, not sure what to say. Hearing it out loud made you feel foolish.
"You know what?" you spoke suddenly, "Never mind. It was a stupid idea, anyway." You were about to turn around and leave without waiting for his reply.
"Wait, no"- he called after you making you stop. "It's not stupid. It's very romantic actually."
"You think so?" You said tentatively as you turned around to face him.
"Yeah," he gave you a boyish grin. "You liked me for a while, huh?"
"Now who's being cruel?" you quipped blushing furiously.
"Nah, it's just that- I'm kicking myself for not asking you on out a date before," he admitted, scratching his head nervously.
"You like me too?" you smiled at him, hope blooming in your chest.
"I'm not blind sweetheart. I've had a soft spot for you for a while now. I thought you knew."
Hearts beating a thousand miles per hour, you could only give him a lovesick smile. You couldn't believe it.
Finally, your dream was coming true.
"So what do you say, sweetheart," he took a step closer to you, " will you bless my Friday and let me take you for a date?"
Giggling like a fool, you could only nod at him. Which earned you the biggest smile you had ever seen on Eddie's face.
"You have no idea how long I've been dying to hear those words."
"Trust me, lovely, I think I do."
Turns out you were both two lovesick idiots.
