ibiza holiday - leila ouahabi & misa rodrĂguez
word count - 8.8k | summary - laia convinces her bestfriend that a group holiday with her friends would be a good idea, yet previous encounters lead to some interesting experiences. leila x misa x reader.
MDNI 18 + - 18+ themes, basically smut but not smut, probably an incredibly unrealistic holiday set up
ânenaaaa, come on itâll be fun!â laia whined as she tugged on your shirt for a second time. the two of you were sitting in your shared apartment, having just finished training, you were trying to relax but clearly laia had other ideas.Â
for the past few hours she had been trying to convince you to say yes to a girls' holiday to ibiza in the off-season, a tradition that had been going on for years between her and her friends and yet somehow youâd been invited, even when you barely knew anyone who was going.
you and laia had become inseparable incredibly quickly. the two of you had previous connections before laia made her move to arsenal, being invited to celebrate the champions league win with kiera and lucy meant you got to know a few of the barca girls over some dancing, a lot of drinks and a hangover breakfast.Â
âlaia these are your friends, not mine, you canât just invite me because youâll âmissâ me for a few weeksâ you used finger quotes around the word âmissâ, clearly emphasising how dramatic laia had been in her previous convincing.Â
âno no, the girls invited you, you mustâve made a good impression on themâ she said, wiggling her eyebrows as she spoke.Â
âwait, which girls?â you asked hesitantly, narrowing your eyes in her direction.
âespera dĂ©jame pensarâ she dazed off for a minute, using her hands to count the players before speaking the list aloud, âthere is alexia, jenni, leila and misaâ she smiled. (wait let me think)
âjesus thatâs a lot of people, i barely know any of themâ you shook your head firmly, her convincing clearly not working.
âjoder, if alexia putellas asks you to go on holiday you do not say no!â laia tutted, shaking her head the same way you just did.Â
you thought for a minute as your mind went through the list of people, âwait, you said leila?â you asked curiously, now considering the offer slightly more than before.Â
âsi, maybe she is the one who asked for you ehâ a smirk flashing across her face as she teased you.Â
âshut up assholeâ you muttered, âi was just making sure i heard you rightâ.Â
âdo not lie english woman, you are thinking about when you fucked her at my birthday party!â she accused, pointing her finger at you.
you smacked her hand down, âit was literally just a kiss codi, and you were the one who wanted to set us up!â you accused back.
âonly because both of you kept talking about finding each other attractive and i didnât want to hear any moreâ she defended, the two of you half-shouting at each other as you spoke.Â
you settled in your chair and folded your arms across your chest, âi have no regrets, anyways why is misa coming? i thought this was a barca thing?.Â
âhm more like a spain thing, you havenât met misa before right?â she questioned.
âwell we have a little bit, it was weird, obviously i was trying to score but she kept saying things like âvale princesaâ or would touch my waist and my back during corners, or there would be really intense eye contact, even at the end of the game she came and talked to me and said it againâ you explained, âand lucy said she was looking me up and down but i donât really believe herâ.
you watched as laiaâs smirk reappeared, âesto es clasico misa, she wants youâ.
âwhat?â your eyes widened in shock, âthatâs not trueâ you shook your head adamantly.Â
âsi, i know what sheâs like, no wonder she was asking questions about you the last time i saw herâ
âthe night of the game she followed me on instagram and then liked a picture from 6 months ago and obviously unliked it, but she always likes my pictures now, sometimes she even commentsâ you shrugged.Â
laia laughed at your oblivion, âyouâre joking right?â, you shook your head, ânena you cannot be serious, sheâs coming after youâ.
âmaybe she wants to be friendsâ you were trying to play the devilâs advocate, but you knew the heart eyes, the âguapaaaaâ or the âquieroâ she had commented on your instagram posts probably werenât the friendliest.Â
âah si si, friends with benefitsâ she winked before getting up and disappearing to her bedroom, leaving you sitting on the sofa contemplating the choice you had to make.Â
it wasnât long before you heard multiple spanish voices coming from laiaâs room, presumably the same ones you had just been talking about. whilst laia has been teaching you spanish throughout your time of living together, the words were far too fast for you to possibly translate.
pushing that to the back of your mind you made your way to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of you, you had your music on and were practically dancing around the kitchen as you cooked.
you spun round to see laia holding her phone in your direction, laughter spilling out of her mouth, immediately stopping in your tracks you nearly dropped the bowl in your hand.Â
âbaila bebe bailaâ a voice from her phone shouted, your face flushing red immediately as the others cheered along.Â
âlaia i fucking hate youâ you stuck up your middle finger with your free hand before turning back to the dinner you were half way through.Â
ânow she wonât say yes to coming with usâ a familiar voice echoed from the phone.Â
she made her way over to you, putting her phone on the counter against the wall so you were now in the frame and unable to avoid it. you were met with the faces of alexia, jenni, misa and leila who were beaming in your direction.Â
âhola chica, what are you making?â jenni spoke, a grin covering her face. you had met jenni a few times, mostly on an international stage but a few times at mutual friends birthday celebrations.Â
âlaia asked for pasta so i made it with chicken and mozzarellaâ you shared her smile as you continued stirring the pasta.Â
âahh so youâre wifey material thenâ misa smirked causing you to go slightly flustered.Â
âdeja de coquetear con ellaâ leila responded to misa before turning her attention to you, âhow are you carino? itâs been a while since weâve seen each otherâ. (stop flirting with her)
âiâm good, very excited to have some time off soonâ you answered, âhow are you?â
âvery good too, are you going to join us on the trip?â she asked, a twinkle in her eye as she spoke.Â
âjoder, you were meant to let alexia askâ laia interrupted, rolling her eyes.
âlaia are you trying to intimidate me into saying yes?â you questioned, raising an eyebrow as you faced her.Â
she held her hand to her heart as she mocked pain, ânena i would never do that to youâ.
âdo not lie to her, she wanted me to ask you because she thinks you would be more likely to say yesâ alexia explained, you reached over slapping laia on the arm as she tried and failed to move out of your reach.Â
âyouâre an asshole, codiâ rolling your eyes at her, as you began plating dinner for the two of you.Â
âsi ella es pero, what is your answer?â alexia asked, smiling sweetly whilst her eyes felt like they were staring into your soul, the power the best player in the world had even off the pitch was crazy.Â
you ran your hand through your hair as you stood thinking about the offer, it was dead silent and you could feel every set of eyes on you as you tried as quickly as you could to weigh out the pros and cons, but in reality, what's the worst that could happen?
âwell i guess if itâs okay with you guys iâd be down for itâ you said causally, maybe a part of you was actually quite excited about it.
the spaniards erupted with cheers as laia wrapped her arms around you, picking you up and spinning you around as she cheered, âbuena elecciĂłn mi mejor amigaâ. (good choice my best friend)
you laughed as she continued spinning you around, clearly very happy that you had given into her persuasion tactic of getting alexia to ask you. she put you down after a minute or two, picking up the phone and running back into her bedroom as you set the table for the two of you.Â
sitting down, you began eating as you waited for laia who seemed to be saying goodbye to her friends when your phone lit up.Â
instagram notification - marisabel_rguez : see you soon princesaÂ
a small smile automatically appeared on your face as you read her message, your heart beat a little faster as you felt the butterflies dance around your stomach. spending a week with misa wearing little clothing definitely wouldnât be the worst thing in the world, and by the way your thighs tensed together at that thought, you were clearly more excited than you thought.Â
your fingers moved quickly as you typed your response, carefully crafting a message that would come off as a little flirty but still casual.Â
you : couldâve been sooner if you decided to play in england
satisfied with your response, you turned off your phone and continued eating. laia made her way back out to you, sitting across from you at the table with a smirk.
âwhy are you making that faceâ scrunching your nose at the suspicious look she was wearing.Â
ânada nada, just this will be very funâ she shrugged, her smirk only growing, âand we are going on the plane with leila and meeting alexia, jenni and misa thereâ.
you tried to contain your smile as you were reminded that leila was joining you, but laia could read you like a book, âhm sounds funâ.
âoye youâre just going to flirt with all my friends whilst we are there and forget about meâ she huffed, shaking her head as if she wasnât the one who has encouraged it multiple times over the course of your friendship.Â
âdonât be so dramatic, itâs not all of your friendsâ you rolled your eyes and her dramaticness âjust one or twoâ you mumbled under your breath.Â
your phone lit up again, this time a message from leila catching your eyes.Â
instagram notification - leilaouahabi : the highlight of this trip will be seeing you in a bikini
before you could verbally react, your cheeks flushed a deep shade of red at her comment, but the thought of seeing her in a bikini too had you clenching your thighs yet again. a feeling that was starting to become far too familiar.Â
âyou okay nena?â your bestfriend asked, curiously peeking at your phone as her eyes widened slightly at leilaâs forwardness.Â
âmhmâ you nodded as your whole body continued to heat up, âdidnât realise leila was so boldâ.
she nodded slowly as she mumbled, âthatâs not even the worst iâve heard from herâ
laiaâs words piqued your interest, you raised your eyebrow at her words âmeaning?â
âletâs say she has used some descriptive words to describe how she feels about youâ you were slightly stunned into silence as you began pushing your food around your plate, not in a bad way, your mind had just become very distracted.
you picked up your phone, not leaving much time for her message to simmer before you wanted to reply, probably coming off as slightly desperate.Â
you : iâll pack my best one for you, it wonât be city blue thoughÂ
you were about to put the phone done but you immediately saw the three dots appear to indicate she was typing.
instagram notification - leilaouahabi : i donât think i can manage with arsenal red, itâll be better idea to just keep it off
slightly choking on the food you were trying to eat, you turned your phone off and flipped it so it was face down on the table.Â
âiâm not even going to askâ laia smiled awkwardly as the two of you continued eating, the text leila had sent you in the back of your mind.Â
after having 3 breakdowns about packing, 2 last minute trips to the shops for things you forgot and 1 slightly shouting match with laia over where she had put your gym clothes after emptying the washing machine, you were finally on the plane and somehow you had let laia coax you into the middle seat. the seat in between laia and leila. what could go wrong?
with laia fast asleep on one side of you and leila clutching onto your hand at every small jolt of the plane, it was better than expected. you and leila had the opportunity to actually talk to each other away from the football field, the same bold footballer that had told you sheâd rather see you naked than in red wasnât as brave in person, well not when you were 30,000 feet in the air.Â
all the netflix movies you had downloaded for your flight became useless as the two of you sat talking about absolutely everything.
âwhereâs your favourite place?â you asked in an attempt to distract leila, as she turned your hand white from the grip she had on it as the plane went through a slightly bumpy patch.Â
âhome but in catalonia, not manchesterâ she clarified with a small anxious smile, her hand now loosening on yours as started brushing her thumb back and forth against your fingers.Â
âdo you miss being there? it must be difficult to live so far away from your familyâ you acknowledged, looking down at the patterns she was now drawing on your hand that was relaxing both you and her.Â
âsi, muchoâ she nodded, âbut for my career, it made sense to come to manchester, i needed a new challenge, so i couldnât say no to manchester cityâ.
âmaybe i shouldâve tempted you with arsenalâ you smirked, your team's rivalry had a way of appearing in every conversation, âyouâd look better in redâ she looked incredible in everything she wore but when she wore the red kit for spain she looked incredible.Â
she shook her head adamantly, âno nena, you would look much better in city blue, it would make the blue in your eyes popâ she winked.
âwell youâre going to have to put up with my very very red bikiniâ you smiled sweetly.
her tongue flicked over her lips as she cocked her head slightly, a smirk appearing on her face âwe both know how i feel about thatâ.
âshut upâ your cheeks instantly flushed a deep red colour as leila laughed at your reaction before changing the conversation back to something that was semi-normal.Â
the three of you made your way to the villa youâd be staying at for the next few days, laia had offered to drive and of course leila dibs the front seat due to her âlong legsâ yet you were left in the back to overthink exactly how this holiday was about to play out.Â
you were about to spend a lot of time with two incredibly attractive footballers that apparently had the hots for you in very minimal clothing, your mind was racing in every direction possible.
the two girls in the front had spanish tunes blaring, the both of them singing along to the words that you could barely understand, but you couldnât help but smile at their pure joy. maybe this was a better picture of what your week was going to look like, rather than the intense sexual tension you were imagining.Â
âla guiri is here!â jenni cheered as the three of you walked through the door.Â
you turned to laia with a questioning look, âoh itâs just a word for like an annoying tourist, but she means it in a loving wayâ she explained.Â
immediately you were enveloped into a hug from jenni, followed by alexia as they greeted you before asking how your flight had been. youâd be lying if you said you were looking around for misa, the real madrid player not being with her friends as you arrived, but you held your questions.Â
it didnât take long for the four of them to naturally switch into spanish, you definitely couldnât blame them though, they had invited you onto their holiday so the least you could do was let them speak in the way that was most comfortable for them.
âdo you know what theyâre saying?â you jumped out of your seat slightly as you turned to face the voice.Â
it took you a second to register the sight in front of you, looking down at you was misa in what you assumed was her workout clothes which only consisted of a sports bra and shorts. her hair was slightly damp and there was a slight sheen to her tanned skin that made it look like she was glowing. her abs were on full display, and you were unashamedly looking.Â
she interrupted your blatant staring with a cough, forcing your eyes back up to hers. âwhat did you say?â you asked awkwardly, not even apologising for the way you were eye-fucking her.Â
âthe spanish, do you understand it?â she reiterated, a cocky smirk now plastered onto her face, pleased with the reaction youâd give her.
ânope, laia has only taught me the basics, and they speak so fast soâ you shrugged, briefly looking back over at the four friends before meeting misaâs eyes again.Â
âso do i get a hug too?â her head tilting slightly as she smiled down at you.
you nodded, matching her smile, standing up as she made her way in front of you. you held your hand out as she pulled you to your feet, your hands then wrapped around her neck whilst hers snaked around your waist and rested on your lower back.Â
it was only for a few seconds but you easily relaxed into her arms. her fingers drew circles on the exposed skin of your back making you melt further into her embrace. even after being in the gym, she smelt incredible, you couldnât help but fall deeper into bliss.
you were interrupted by a whistle, the two of you breaking apart and facing the direction it had come from. jenni, alexia and laia had wide grins on their face whilst leila had a tense look across her face and her arms were crossed against her chest.Â
âplease do not fuck infront of usâ jenni smiled, earning a playful smack from alexia.Â
âin misaâs dreamsâ leila muttered, refusing to make eye contact with you but sending a deathly glare in misaâs direction.Â
you were hesitant to question leilaâs tone, worried you had misheard what the spaniard had said and somehow created a sense of jealousy in your head, instead opting to go to your assigned room to unpack your things and settle for a bit.
it didnât take you long to unpack, probably 20 minutes or so, and you were eager to get yourself out into the sun. opting for the bright red bikini you packed, you slipped on your coverup and made your way outside to the pool. as you walked through the house you noticed it had become eerily quiet, none of them were sitting on the sofas as they previously were, yet there was a faint buzz of spanish music coming from the pool.Â
slipping out of the doors, you were met with a tanned dark haired woman spread across a sunlonger, dressed in a white bikini that left little to the imagination with the addition of a black cap that presumably was keeping the sun out of her face. as you got closer you noticed the tattoos that were littered along her arms, recognising that they belong to the man city player that had joined you. part of you felt rude for interrupting her when she looked so at peace, it was as if it she was in her natural element, butÂ
âholaâ you hummed, placing your things down on the adjacent sunlounger as you began to take off your coverup.Â
she jumped slightly, her alarmed expression switching to a sweet smile as she looked up at you âoye carino you scared meâ
you giggled at her response, âwhere did everyone go?â you asked, laying out your towel before planting yourself on the sunlounger.Â
âhm i think they went to the shops for food but i offered to stay with you insteadâ her smile now turning into a smirk that was somewhat cheeky but also really cheesy.
you rolled your eyes playfully at her words, âhow kind of you ouahabi, iâll remember that next time one of your tackles knocks me off my feetâ.
âiâm known for sweeping girls off their feet, sometimes literallyâ she laughed with a small shrug.Â
you knew leila was bold, laia had told you a few stories about the things sheâd do on nights out when she first peaked your interest, but you didnât know just how bold she was until the dmâs she had sent you. youâd be lying if you said you didnât enjoy this side of her, it was relaxed and cheeky and you liked it a lot.Â
a comfortable silence fell amongst the two of you, leila softly singing the tune of the music that was playing from speaker she had placed next to her sunlonger. in your moments of relaxation you had forgotten about applying any form of sun protection on your back, which probably wasnât the best idea considering the sun that was beating down on you.Â
gaining some courage you spoke up, now propping yourself on your elbows, âleila, can you put some suncream on my back? i was going to ask laia but she obviously disappearedâ
you could physically see the gulp as her mouth parted slightly, you waited for an answer, one of your eyebrows raising slightly as you questioned her reluctance. âif not itâs okayâ you added, worried you had made her somewhat uncomfortable.Â
her eyes widened at your words as she sat up quickly, âno noâ she cleared her throat, âof course i can, i was just uh.. translating what you said in my headâ a nervous smile on her face as her legs moved to the side of her sunlounger signalling you to turn your back to her.Â
moving your hair to your shoulder, you shuffled back, handing her the suncream over your shoulder, it took a couple seconds longer than you anticipated for the cool lotion. as her hands met your back a shiver ran down your spine. her hands moved in slow, firm strokes, drawing patterns in a way that was soothing and methodical. you caught your eyes closing for a moment as you were lulled into a state of relaxation.Â
reluctantly her hands were removed from your back, forcing your eyes to open in the sad realisation that the moment you were sharing was over.Â
âthank youâ you mumbled, shuffling yourself until you were laying back on the sunlounger, in your original position.Â
as you got comfortable, the only thing on your mind was the feeling of leilaâs hands against your skin, to you it felt intimate, as if the two of you had a moment that held some kind of meaning, but her initial hesitance had you questioning if she felt the same. maybe she wasnât as bold as you initially anticipated.Â
some more time passed in which comfortable silence fell back between the two of you, your eyes closed in an attempt to shield yourself from the sun allowing you to relax as much as possible. it wasnât until you heard shuffling next to you that your eyes peaked open, your eyesight drifted to leila who was now standing at the end of her sunlounger, yet her eyes were firmly planted on you.Â
from the corner of your eye, you watched as her eyes travelled up and down your body, her tongue dragging across her bottom lip before catching her lip between her teeth for a second, completely unaware of your eyes on her. the way she looked at you was predatory, you felt as if you were sinking into your chair a little more every second that her eyes were locked onto you. it was as if you were hers to use as she pleased, and you were more than okay with it.Â
your eyes finally locked with hers. her eyes instantly widened as if she was a deer in headlights.
âiâm going to cool down in the poolâ she spoke, excusing herself quickly before submerging herself in the pool within seconds.Â
your gaze was fixed on her as her head popped out of the water, she lifted her hands, fingers sliding through the wet strands in a slow and effortless way, the sunlight reflecting off of her dark hair which made her look as if she was straight from the gods. it had your thighs clenching together for any form of friction.Â
you were quickly snapped out of your daze from jenni cannonballing into the pool with a scream, causing a large splash to fly in your direction.Â
you let out a sharp gasp, âjesus jenni, im soakedâ, water droplets dripping down your half bare body.
âsurprised to hear jenniâs name in that sentence and not misaâs or leilaâsâ laia said, emerging from the doors of the house to the pool area.Â
âi hate you so muchâ you squinted your eyes in her direction, as you wiped the water from your arms.Â
âyou might as well get in the pool now tooâ laia laughed, placing her stuff next to you.Â
her close proximity was all the invitation you needed. standing up quickly, you wrapped yourself around her, pressing your soaked body against her dry clothes.
âget off assholeâ laia half-cried, squirming as she tried to pry your arms off, but she wasnât quite strong enough.
ânope, this is what you getâ you only tightened your grip, rocking her side to side as she continued to struggle.
when she finally stilled, you let go, stepping back with a satisfied and incredibly cocky grin.Â
laia narrowed her eyes, âyouâre going to regret that, estĂșpidaâ she lunged for you, causing you to instinctively took a few hurried steps back, only to collide with something solid.
before you could react, strong arms wrapped around you, effortlessly lifting you off the ground.
âlo siento princesa, time for a swim!â a familiar voice teased behind you. of course it was misa.Â
your heart dropped as she carried you to the edge of the pool, your kicks and desperate pushes doing nothing against her ridiculous strength âmisa donât do itâ you yelped.
she hummed in amusement, âhmm but youâd look so pretty wetâ her voice dripped with smugness, you could practically hear the smirk on her face.Â
before you could protest any further, you were airborne then plunged into the cold water with a splash.Â
the rest of the day was spent relaxing, taking in the beautiful ibiza sun whilst trying your best to not get too burned, something the spanairds had already teased you about. you didnât have any real plans for your first day on holiday, opting to take it slow with a few excursions scattered over your week's holiday.Â
dinner was relatively simple, laia decided to take charge in the kitchen to avoid any food poisoning yet it was impossible to avoid the bickering that happened between misa and laia about what was being cooked and how laia was doing it âwrongâ. a quick google search proved that laia was in fact doing it right and misa had just seen a tiktok hack that didnât actually work. leila attempted to reason with misa before it got to the google search but misa was set in the opinion, jenni and alexia ended up staying out of it, choosing to watch the two argue whilst laughing under their breath.
you had a relatively early night, choosing to miss out on another round of drinks and yet another argument about who had the right uno rules. spoiler alert - it was you. but you had a plan for tomorrow ; gym in the morning and a boat trip for most of the day.
waking up you felt refreshed, the sun always made you feel like a brand new person, which was the perfect mood to be in for a holiday gym session.Â
you got changed into a pair of your arsenal shorts and a sports bra, grabbing a towel and some water, before making your way to the gym attached to your villa.Â
familiar songs made their way from the gym, you were shocked someone had made their way to the gym before you, but you were on holiday with some of the biggest footballers in the world, what else did you expect.Â
opening the door you were met with misa, dressed in black shorts and a white sports bra, her hair had been thrown on top of her head into a messy bun, yet she looked incredible. misa was effortlessly pretty, she couldâve been dragged through a bush and sheâd still come out looking out of this world.Â
you paused at the door as you watched her body move, she seemed to be adding weights to a bar in front of the mirror. as she picked up the large circular weights, the muscles in her arms instantly became more defined.
the sound of a weight dropping snapped you out of your thoughts which had been running wild, misa turned round, meeting your presence with a smile.Â
âbeunas dias princesa, how did you sleep?â she asked, now standing up straight to meet your eyeline.
âgood morningâ you chirped, now walking into the area, placing your things down on the bench, âi slept really good, how did you sleep?â
âmine was good, i went to bed pretty soon after you didâ she explained, you couldnât tell if she was hinting that your lack of presence had sent her to bed early even when she was still surrounded by her close friends. âdo you want to workout together?â she added.
you nodded in agreement, gathering your hair in your hands to scoop it back into a low bun âdonât go easy on meâ
âi wasnât planning to. but if you beg nicely, maybe iâll let you catch your breathâ yet again, her voice was laced with a pure cocky attitude, but this time you were going to rise to her level.Â
you raised a brow, smirking. "oh, misa, i didnât know you liked hearing me beg. should i be concerned?"
she leaned in slightly, you were met with an intoxicating scent of perfume that had your brain malfunctioning for a second, âonly if youâre not going toâ.
you bit your lip, holding her gaze. "guess youâll just have to work for it, then." you left her standing there with a stupid grin on her face as you brushed past her to begin your warm up.Â
âare you going to keep standing there like an idiot or come and warm up?â you questioned, looking at her from over your shoulder. her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if she was surprised with your newfound attitude towards her, but the small smile that appeared had you thinking she was a fan of it.Â
the two of you bounced off each other throughout the hour workout, making stupid jokes but also having normal everyday conversations that had you learning much more about her than you thought this trip would reveal. of course there was still an underlying flirty attitude to both of your words, but you genuinely enjoyed getting to know misa even with the cocky smirk she had on her face as she watched you squat.Â
towards the end of your work out, you were both starting to get slightly out of breath, you had been pushing each other in slight competition as you completed each of your sets. you made your way over to the bench where you had previously dropped your stuff, hoping to catch your breath.Â
but that plan was quickly interrupted when misa casually plopped down on a nearby bench, leaning back with her arms stretched behind her, taking slow, deliberate breaths. you couldnât help but watch as her chest rose and fell with each breath, the movement captivating. the glistening sheen of sweat on her skin caught the light, making every shift of her muscles more defined. after a moment, she shifted, leaning forward with her arms now resting on her thighs, still drawing in deep, steady breaths. you couldnât look away.Â
you couldnât tell how long your gaze had been fixed on her, it felt physically impossible to avert your eyes in any direction when the sight in front of you felt like an art piece. yet it was probably affecting you more than you realised as a heat between your legs grew and your heart rate picked up.Â
thatâs when her eyes found yours, her classic smirk quickly appearing on her face, âte gusta lo que ves?â she asked, a cocky head tilt matching her smirk.Â
you nodded without realising what you had down you had earnt an eyebrow raise from misa, your eyes widened as you quickly shock your head âi uh iâm going to shower byeâ you spoke so quickly you were sure she didnât fully understand, but you didnât give her the chance to ask as you darted out of the room.Â
after showering and getting ready for the day you tried to form some kind of plan of how you were going to approach the day. both leila and misa were sending you signals, yet you werenât sure where it was going beyond those signals. considering you were about to spend the rest of the day on a boat in the mediterranean sea with plenty of alcohol, you needed some kind of game plan.Â
your mental planning was interrupted as laia burst through the door, announcing her arrival with a very dramatic good morning before she dropped a bomb, âi heard what happened this morningâ.
automatically your jaw dropped, âwhat the fuckâ.
âi canât believe you basically undressed her with your eyes, you should have fucked herâ she giggled, poking her fingers into your arms causing you to swat her hand away.Â
âlaia shut up incase they can hear youâ you hissed, âi couldnât help it, sheâs been flirting with me this whole time and the way she looked in the gym was just⊠i have no words for itâ you tired to justify your actions but honestly you were just babbling.Â
âclearly both misa and leila want to fuck you, so what are you going to do? fuck them both at the same time?â she spoke as if it was an outrageous idea, yet it had your brain thinking, which mustâve been obvious by your face, âoh my god youâre going to fuck them at the same time!â
âthatâs not what i was thinking, you assholeâ you muttered, your cheeks glowing red at the thought, âthey donât feel like that, youâre making it serious, itâs obviously just funâ you shook your head adamantly.Â
âmhm thatâs not what iâve heard, they sai-â laia started to explain before being cut off by the sound of jenniâs voice echoing through the halls.
âlaia, is the guiri ready?â jenni shouted.Â
âtell her to remember her suncream and hurry upâ alexia shouted shortly after her.Â
you grabbed your bag that you had filled with all your essentials, especially your suncream, and walked towards the door, realising laia hadnât followed your lead you turned back to see her sat on the edge of your bed with her mouth still slightly open as if she was about to say something. âare you coming?â you asked.
she snapped out of her gaze, âyes yes im readyâ, pushing her up as she followed you out the door.Â
it was a short walk to the boat, one that had been privately rented by alexia and somehow jenni had the right qualification to drive it which surprised you more than youâd like to admit and had you looking for the life jackets as soon as your foot stepped onto the boat.
it didnât take long for the boat to be anchored in a beautiful cove that looked like something out of brochure. you were surrounded by beautiful cliffs, water which was so blue you could see the fishes swimming and a small beach of perfect white sand. it felt like a paradise away from the rest of the world, one that you very much enjoyed being in.Â
you were laid on a towel at the front of the boat, sunglasses shielding your eyes as you tried to stay focused on the book you had bought with you. the sun was beaming down on you, mixing with the bright orange bikini you had decided on wearing. it was lighting up your skin as if it glowed, a sight which had both leila and misaâs eyes drifting across your body.Â
âcarino would you like a drink?â leila asked, causing you to look up from your book. she stood in front of you, shielding your eyes momentarily as the sun lit up around her.Â
âmmm yes pleaseâ you practically moaned at the thought of a cold drink helping you cool down.Â
your reaction had leilaâs eyes wide as a grin appeared on her face, âif i knew that was how to make you moan i wouldâve said it a lot soonerâ.
âoh you wish it was that easy ouahabi, surprise me with your choice of drinkâ you smiled sweetly, causing leila to turn on her heels as she walked over to the makeshift kitchen in the shaded area of the boat.Â
she made her way back in a few minutes, causing you to pop yourself up on your elbows as she knelt down to you on the floor, âtryâ she smiled, pushing the glass into your awaiting hand.Â
you held the drink to your lips, the condensation on the glass slowly dripping onto your chest as you took a sip, your mouth quickly overwhelmed with a cool tropical flavour followed by the hint of an alcohol you couldnât quite put your finger on.Â
âleila this is deliciousâ you complimented, savouring the taste on your lips, âwhere did you learn to do this?â.
âiâm always on drinks duty when we have parties or celebrationsâ she shrugged smugly.Â
you giggle at her, the way she spoke was so casual but you could tell she was proud of the mixologist title she had been given. she got herself comfortable on the floor next to you, her legs now crossed as she sat with you. you continued sipping on your drink as she told you some of her favourite recipes, you admired the way she spoke, it had an incredibly cheesy grin across your face.Â
you must've sat there for a while as the conversation naturally drifted to the other plans you had for the off season as your drink had become empty and your head had a slight buzz to it. you were sure the drink didnât contain a lot of alcohol but as an athlete you very rarely drank so when you did your tolerance was zero.Â
âhaving fun?â a voice questioned, you craned your neck upwards to see a very wet misa in front of you.
âmisa!â you smiled, happy with her presence but even more thrilled by the incredibly sexy sight that was standing right in front of you, âdid you go for a swim?â.
âsiii, it was beautiful, but not as beautiful as youâ she winked, whilst it was incredibly cheesy, you couldnât help but be a little bit affected by it as your cheeks heated up, âthe others are still on the beachâ.Â
misa sat with the three of you, conversation flowing effortlessly, as if youâd all been friends for years. there was an ease to it, but your focus kept flickering elsewhere. you couldnât ignore the way misaâs hand inched closer to your thigh, her confidence growing with every passing moment. your eyebrow lifted slightly at her boldness, but you didnât move away.
leila had excused herself to refill your drink allowing misa to take full advantage of the opportunity of having you alone for a few minutes. her fingers ghosted over your outer thigh, tracing lazy swirls against your skin. the sensation was subtle but impossible to ignore, sending a warmth through you that you tried to suppress. without making it obvious, you shifted slightly, searching for some kind of friction without the embarrassment of pressing your thighs together too openly.
misa noticed. of course she did. her gaze flickered to yours, amusement dancing behind her dark eyes, an innocent smile curving her lips.
"¿qué?" she asked, lifting her free hand to run her fingers through her hair, a simple movement, yet undeniably sexy.
"nada," you muttered, a shiver running up your spine, making your back arch ever so slightly under her touch. despite the cool breeze, your body was burning.
she chuckled, her fingers pressing just a bit harder against your thigh. "princesa, iâve barely touched you, and youâre already arching your back?" the innocence in her smile faded into something more knowing, a smirk tugging at her lips.
you shook your head quickly, refusing to give her the satisfaction of knowing exactly how easily she was unraveling you. "it was just a cold shiver⊠from the, uh, wind," you stammered, though you didnât even believe your own excuse.
misaâs smirk deepened. "of course, amor. very strange, though, since youâre the only one who felt it." she shrugged, her fingers sliding a little higher, creeping toward your inner thigh. she squeezed lightly, just enough to make your breath hitch. "so this isnât affecting you at all, then?"
you shook your head, lips pressed together in a weak attempt to maintain composure. speaking would only make it worse.
she studied you for a moment, clearly unconvinced, but before she could push you any further, leila dropped back into her seat beside you.
"hereâs your drink!" she grinned, handing it to you.
you took it without hesitation, gulping it down like it was your only lifeline, hoping somehow that the cold liquid would cool the heat surging through you.Â
the two spaniards simply laughed at your quick action, âdebiste haberla visto, esto va a ser muy fĂĄcilâ misa spoke proudly, but the spanish was far too advanced and fast for you to understand anything. (you should have seen her, this is going to be so easy)
âmi turno ahoraâ leila matched misaâs energy, whilst your spanish wasnât up to their level, you could definitely tell what she meant. (my turn now)
your eyes flickered between the two of them, unsure of what to say or do, completely at their mercy, not that you minded. lying between them, you felt like a toy for them to play with, and the thought alone sent a thrill through you.
leila reached out, her fingers curling around a strand of your hair, twirling it idly before tucking it behind your ear. the simple touch sent warmth down your spine, and before you could stop yourself, you leaned into her hand, craving more. but just as quickly as she granted it, she took it away, her fingers drifting lower.
she traced a slow path from your shoulder, her touch featherlight as it skimmed down your neck, across your collarbone, and to the center of your chest. her hand lingered there for a moment, just long enough to make your breath hitch, before continuing downwards. the soft brush of her fingertips dipped between your breasts, teasingly tugging at the fabric of your bikini top as they passed.
what started as delicate touches turned into something more as her entire palm flattened against your stomach, stopping just before your waistband. every movement set your skin ablaze, the anticipation burning through you as her touch took over your skin. you hadnât even realized you were holding your breath, too caught up in the way her touch mapped out your body.
something had flipped in leila, her newfound confidence a stark difference from the same person that was stuttering over putting suncream on your back.Â
she removed her hand, snapping you out of the bliss that she had effortlessly put you in, her lip tugging at her bottom lip as she looked at you, âyou were right misa, sheâs so easyâ.
you swallowed hard as they talked about you as if you werenât there, your legs now firmly clenching together as all efforts to withhold the obvious physical effect they had on you had disappeared.Â
âeasy?â you questioned leilaâs words, âiâm not easyâ you huffed, somewhat frustrated at the way they perceived you as if you hadnât turned to putty in their hands in front of their.Â
âcari, youâre practically begging for us to touch you, but of course you arenât easyâ leila mocked, pouting at you as she looked down on you.
you scoffed, shifting slightly as if that would somehow ease the tension thrumming through your body. "i donât beg" you repeated, though the breathiness in your voice betrayed you. "i just know what i want."
leilaâs smirk didnât waver as she dragged a slow finger down your arm. "oh, cariño," she murmured, tilting her head.
"and what is it you want, hmm?" misa spoke, having your head snapping in her direction.
your lips parted, but no words came out at first, your breath unsteady under their piercing gazes. you shifted slightly, heart pounding as your fingers curled into your lap.
"i⊠i donât know," you admitted softly, voice barely above a whisper. your body, however, told a different story, silently pleading for them to decide for you.
you watched as they shared a look, âi think we can figure that outâ misa hummed in response.Â
âwe definitely canâ leila confirmed with a soft nod, âafter we get back to the villaâ she added, shattering the hope that had been building in finally getting what you wanted after all the relentless build up youâd been experiencing.Â
âwhy after?â your eyes gave her a pleading look, trying to convince her with just a look was probably hopeless, but it was worth a short.Â
âyou want us to fuck you on a boat for our friends to see? very brave of you princesaâ misa purred, her hand reaching out and tugging on the string of your bikini bottoms ever so slightly.Â
your eyes widened as you shook your head slightly, whilst the idea of them touching you here and now was incredible, you knew you wouldnât be able to stand the endless teasing from your best friend if she saw how you were about to hand yourself over to them on a plate.Â
âthatâs what we thoughtâ leila smiled, giving the signal to misa to pull on the string, causing it to fall next to you before you gasped and scrambled to retie it, worried that your friends would reappear on the boat any second.Â
the two of them stood up, almost as if it was planned, âwe are going to eat, are you joining us?â leila asked, nudging her head to the selection of fresh fruit and other snacks that had been catered as per alexiaâs request.Â
you shook your head politely as you stood to your feet, âi think i need to go for a swim and cool offâ.
making your way to the back of the boat, you dived in without hesitation, the water being a desperate relief from the heat still coursing through your body. you wasted no time swimming towards the shore, where jenni and laia had decided that burying alexia in the sand was their newest form of entertainment.
most of the time on the beach was spent in your determined attempt to build a sandcastle without a bucket. every time you took your hands away, laia took it as an open invitation to knock it down, grinning as she ruined your progress. after the third time, you grabbed her ankle, sending her tumbling into the sand with a surprised yelp. the three of you sat giggly as the now incredibly sandy laia sent daggers in your direction.
eventually, the four of you made your way back to the boat, deciding it was time to return to the villa and unwind before getting ready for dinner. the day had been long, the sun still warm against your skin, but the lingering saltwater clinging to your body left you desperate for a shower.Â
the moment you stepped inside, you beelined for the bathroom, grateful that your room had an ensuite, no waiting, no interruptions, just the promise of fresh, clean skin. time seemed to slip away as you stood under the spray, letting the heat soothe your muscles and refresh you entirely. by the time you stepped out, your body felt lighter, your damp hair falling in waves down your back as you pulled on a pair of soft shorts and a sports bra to lounge in.
swinging the bathroom door open, you were stopped in your tracks.Â
leila and misa were sitting at the edge of your bed, their gazes locked onto you with knowing smirks. your stomach flipped as the memory of what had happened on the boat, the promise from the boat rushing back to your mind.
"you didnât forget, did you, princesa?" misaâs voice was smooth yet firm, her arms crossed over her chest as she eyed you. the authority in her tone sent goosebumps racing up your arms, a shiver rolling through you as you processed what was happening.
you swallowed, quickly shaking your head. "no, of course notâ, you lied. between playing on the beach and the trance-like calm of your shower, the promise they had made had momentarily slipped your mind. however the dull ache between your legs made it clear, it hadnât forgotten for a second.
leilaâs lips curled into a smirk, tilting her head slightly. "of course, amor," she murmured, her voice softer than misaâs but no less commanding. "come here."
the contrast of your predictions between them had your head spinning. leila, the one who would hold you, whisper soft praises against your skin, while misa was rougher, teasing, pushing you past your limits. at least, thatâs what you assumed. boy you were wrong.Â
hesitantly, you stepped forward, drawn into leilaâs presence like she had an invisible pull on you. her hands reached for you instantly, fingers splaying across your waist as she guided you between her legs with ease. the warmth of her touch seeped into your skin, grounding you in the moment.
you were so focused on her that you almost didnât notice misa standing until she was right behind you. her hands ghosted over your back, fingers tracing absent patterns over the ink etched into your skin. the teasing touch had you holding your breath, until they finally settled on your shoulders, pressing firmly as she began to knead the tension from your muscles.
the sensation had you instinctively tilting your head back, leaving your neck vulnerable, something that misa quickly noticed. her lips brushed against your skin, pressing slow, deliberate kisses that sent a shudder through your entire body. a quiet whimper threatened to escape your lips.
and then there was leila, her hands still moving, still exploring, mapping your body with a featherlight touch that somehow burned hotter than anything. every caress, every whisper of contact sent jolts of electricity through your veins. you were completely at their mercy. and you wouldnât have it any other way.
your door swung open as laia came rushing it but was instantly stopped in her tracks before she could ask if you wanted to play mario kart on the switch she had bought. she stood rapidly blinking at the sight in front of her, clearly unsure of what to do before turning around and making a clear run for the door.Â
âi told you soâ she shouted before slamming the door behind her.Â
your cheeks flushed red at the slight embarrassment you now felt after your best friend had seen you in this position, but the sets of hands that had taken hold of your body quickly refocused you on the situation that was developing with you at the centre.Â
âyou ready for some fun, carino?â leila mummered, her gaze locking onto you with a teasing smile
the look in her eyes had you nodding instantly, your breath hitching in anticipation.Â
âoh you have no ideaâ misa whispered against your ear, voice dripping with a mix of mischief and smugness.

sunshine on a cloudy dayđ§¶đ§ïžâïž



hereâs a blurb while i create my prompt list and continue fighting off this deadly writers block plague đ€
also i typed this on my phone and i have long nails on again so as always ignore any missed typos or errors đ
the rain splattered against the window softly, giving your shared apartment a tranquil essence as you and billie enjoyed the last bit of your weekend.
your candle crackles away on the coffee table, giving filling the room with the smell of blue raspberry and sugar. billie thought it was too sweet, but you and your doe eyes always win.
other than the rain, the almost muted volume coming from the tv, and the puppyâs snoring on the floor were the only things to be heard. well that and the occasional soft groan from you.
âwhatcha making over there?â billie asked softly, stifling a giggle at your latest grumble. she walked across the room from the kitchen, a mug full of tea in her hand, to come peek at your latest little hobby.
âwell⊠iâm not sure yet, but i wanna practice the basic stitches a bunch before i set on making something ya know?â you barely looked up from your⊠dish cloth? tiny blanket? pot holder? you werenât sure but you were having fun learning a new skill.
billie pressed a kiss to the top of your head before setting her tea down and plopping next to you on the couch, stretching an arm to rest around your shoulders.
âkinda looks like a cunty caterpillar,â she snorted, making you gasp and huff at her accusation.
âexcuse me you were the one who said i should learn to crochet. and if i remember correctly, you were also the one who said it was gonna look funny for a while, while i was still learning so i donât want to hear it,â you quipped back at her, not wanting any criticism from your once very patient teacher. clearly that patience was taking a leisurely day off.
âok ok ok, im sorry darling. youâre right i did say that, i confess. itâs the best cunty caterpillar iâve ever seen if that makes you feel better,â she teased, using her other hand to pinch your side making you squirm.
you just gave her a stank eye before continuing your stitches. not without snuggling into her side more of course, letting her arm rest around your shoulders and your head rest back on her own shoulder.
for a while the two of you sat there, billie occasionally pointing out a little fluke stitch, teaching you little tricks along the way. but for the most part you two relaxed in the quiet. puppy snores and the rain being your soundtrack.
at one point you grumbled and snuggled closer into her side, âok why the fuck is it so cold in here? i thought it was humid outside today!â billie just hummed a response, feigning innocence hoping you didnât notice the open window behind the couch. she always would open the window up a crack when it rained knowing youâd get cold and want to snuggle closer.
âi donât know baby. iâll check the heat in a bit,â she pressed a kiss to your shoulder, before moving her arm to snake around your waist to hold you closer, hoping to warm you up.
âi should make this into a blanket so i donât fucking freeze,â you snorted making billie cackle.
âwell get goinâ mama. your fuzzy caterpillar isnât gonna do much for ya right now.â
âoh my GOD billie!â you tried to hide your giggle while scolding her, but you were unable to when she started giggling with you, peppering your cheek with ticklish kisses.
the wind had died down leaving the rain to be soft little splats on the window, your candle had started to burn out leaving only a bit of light left from it, and billie had started to grow sleepy snuggling you so close and warm.
âi donât wanna go to work tomorrow,â you half said, half yawned setting down your crocheting with a huff.
âi know mama. donât think about it yet though. you just stay right here with me and your cunty crochet caterpillar looking rectangle,â she said in her silly little voice making you snort.
you turned to place a soft kiss to her cheek, making her eyes sparkle when they met yours. you both smiled for a moment before settling back to your snuggles.
âmaybe next time you can make like, a cunty snake or something.â
âBILLIE!â

ⶠUNTIL SUNRISE




summary: you and charles broke up a year ago â it was messy, brutal, but not unexpected. what was unexpected, though, was to see each other at a monaco party thrown by your socialite friend. between champagne, stolen stares and bittersweet regrets, things left unsaid come back to haunt the both of you.
f1 masterlist | part two: until sunset
pairing: charles leclercïŸex!f!reader
wc: 7k
cw: angst, bittersweet, smut (oral f!receiving, p in v, unprotected - mdni!), second chance, exes to lovers, reader is BITTER, accurate french, ocs for plot purpose, english is not my first language
a/n: the weeknd the party & the afterparty on repeat, while there is smut it's entirely skippable! if you just want to read the clean vers beginning and end will be marked by bolded words :) i'll still ask minors not to interact

DRENCHED IN SUNSET, Monaco glistened under waves of gold and orange, highlighting the marble of its buildings and the shine of the coast. The streets bustled with laughter dangerously mixed with the motor of fast cars and the crash of the waves. The air smelled like salt, and the tall buildings of the city centers looked like lazy Saturday afternoons spent losing yourself in the neverending streets. Monaco was a country of fast heartbeats and taken chances, and for a time now long past, it felt like home.
It didnât anymore. As you stepped out of the car, you couldnât feel more like a stranger.
You thanked the driver with a small smile and a generous tip before he turned around and drove away. The marble structure in front of you shone as the last ray of the sun caressed it â it was the stuff of wonder: tall windows and ancient Italian architecture. Your friend, Bridget, always knew how to go all out, but this time she had every right. It was her engagement party after all. You felt ridiculously small as the butlers opened the massive doors when you entered. Monaco and you had been estranged for more than a year now, you should be used to the feeling, but the bitter taste of heartache and tears was stuck in your throat like glue as you made your way up the stairs to the reception.
Enough of that, you thought, you came to celebrate your friend and her fiancé. You came to have fun, not to dwell on the past. You clutched your purse, plastered on a bright smile, and blended in the crowd.
Bridget didnât make the guest list with a nimble hand, that was for sure. The room was swarming with people, all dressed to the nines, some you did and didnât recognize. You fit in amazingly well, your dress sweeping the floor and the warm air hitting your bare back, a delicate necklace dropping between your shoulder blades. Soft jazz echoed against the walls, and conversations and champagne flowed as you took laps around the room searching for Bridget.
You knew she found you first when her hands wrapped around your waist in a bear hug. âYou came!â She yelled in your ear.
A surprised screech escaped you while your friend twirled around you in ecstasy, all in silky white and tanned skin. Guests turned around, laughing at her antics, while the first real smile out of your evening broke your stunned expression. âWhat made you think I wouldnât?â
âI donât know!â Bridget stood in front of you, holding you by the forearms as if she were afraid youâd run away. âYou justâ We havenât talked a lot the past year, and you moved out. I thought that maybe you didnât want to come back here.â
Your chest tightened a little at her self-consciousness. Leaving was necessary, and you had found a semblance of peace by doing so, but you might have neglected a few connections in the meantime. Bridget included. âI know I havenât been as present as I should have been, but there was no way I would have missed your engagement party,â you reassured her. âItâs just that with everything that happened, I needed some time to think. But Iâm here now! We can celebrate properly. Whereâs Jaime?â Her fiancĂ©, soon-to-be husband.
The glimmer of happiness your consolation brought to Bridgetâs eyes vanished as soon as you mentioned the events that caused your sudden disappearance. It had that effect on people. Nobody had expected it, except maybe you and the other party involved. âAbout that⊠the whole thing⊠thereâs something I need to tell you about tonight, Y/NâŠâ
âThere you are, Bree! Look who I found trying to sneak his way to the piano.â You and Bridget turned at the sound of Jaimeâs voice â and the second he came into view, the blood in your veins turned icy.
Because behind him was the reason you moved out of Monaco. Dressed in a sharp black suit with the trademark red tie around the collar of his shirt, his hair an artful mess of brown, the green eyes that promised you so much widening in recognition.
Charles Leclerc, your ex-boyfriendâ no, scratch that, the ex-love of your life, stood before you, champagne in hand, and you were mentally back in the threshold of his apartment a year ago, where your life fell apart in the slamming of a door.
You didnât miss the way his knuckles tightened around the glass, nor how his pace faltered behind Jaime when he set his eyes upon you. The overwhelming distance between the two of you, whether physical or emotional, still stabbed you in the stomach.
You shouldn't have been surprised he was invited. He was one of Jaime's closest friends, they had known each other for years. There was a small part of you who knew but didn't want to face the possibility of Charles being here. Now, it was way more than a possibility.
The four of you went quiet. Bridget bit her lip, Jaime awkwardly stepped from one foot to the other, aware of what heâs caused, Charlesâ eyes were stuck on you, almost transfixed. The air in the room became scarce, almost impossible for you to grasp fully: your world was limited to Charles. Apparently, a year was not near enough to swallow down the hurt and the gaping hole he left in you.
You couldnât let the silence go on longer or youâd drown. Almost as a reflex, a fabricated smile made its way to your face and the split second of hurt across your face disappeared. âDoesn't surprise me at all!â You glanced at Charles, and the fake sympathy in your voice seemed to startle him out of his trance. âWell, don't let me keep you longer, Bridget. You have guests to attend to. Jaime, it was really nice to see you again. Now if you'll excuse me.â
You didn't stick around for any reactions. The bar at the other end of the room was practically screaming your name and if you were to survive tonight, you needed something stronger than champagne. Fighting to get out of the suffocating sphere around Charles, you almost dropped your whole weight on the red-cushioned stool, startling the bartender. âCan I have an Espresso Martini? Don't go easy on the vodka. Please.â
You barely had time to sip the sugary drink when the cocktail got in your hand before a dark, warm amber perfume you knew all too well grazed your nose and swallowed you whole, heart with it. Shutting your eyelids tight, you took a deep breath.
âI didn't expect to see you here,â Charles said.
He put his back against the bar, sipping from his champagne flute and carefully avoiding the distrusting glance you threw his way as if he wasnât the one striking up a conversation with you. You couldnât help the venom in your voice when you answered. âWell, Monacoâs not that big.â You wished it was. It would have been less painful to come back, to feel him so close to you ,and to still react to it.
That made him look your way, at least. Charles almost looked pained but quickly regained his usual composure. You graced him with a half smile, trying to sweeten your words. âAnd I wouldnât miss Bridgetâs engagement party.â
He chuckled at that, swirling the bubbly liquid in his glass. âWe did play a big role in that happening, it wouldâve been a shame.â
Yes, you did. After you and Charles got together, it was only a matter of time before both of your friend groups merged â friendships were extremely important to the both of you, and there was no way it was going to work if you didnât get to know them at some point. During a dinner Charles organized for your birthday, you both noticed how Charlesâ friend Jaime was making eyes at your friend Bridget, and how Bridget seemed to laugh a little too loud when he was around. Next thing you knew, you two were playing Cupid between muted giggles and stolen kisses. Not even a year later they were engaged.
And you and Charles werenât anything anymore. The memory erased the sweetness of the sugar in your cocktail and left you with a bitter aftertaste. You didnât want to remember anymore. It hurt too much.
âYeah, well, looks like theyâre doing much better on their own.â
You threw your head back and downed the end of your drink. If Charles wanted to answer anything, he swallowed it back, preferring to watch you with the same calculation he used on the track. For the second time in your life, you felt like a statistic in his life. The double dose of vodka you ordered was starting to wreak havoc on your empty stomach, and acidic words flew out before you could stop them. âSo, still driving like you have something to prove?â
A flash of hurt distorted his delicate traits, but he didnât miss a beat. âStill running away from your problems?â
Silence stretched between the two of you, letting the words marinate in the air. Music and chatter were getting louder but the only thing you could hear was the sharp sting of his words. You signaled the bartender for another drink â bad idea, but again, everything you were doing right now didnât exactly fit in the good decision category. âThatâs rich,â you laughed humorlessly, âcoming from the guy who spent months pretending I didnât exist.â
He exhaled sharply. âDonât act like you were the only one hurting.â
âOh, Iâm sorryâ did I ruin your life by walking away? Because I remember doing it and you justââ you gestured vaguely, âletting me.â
âAnd what, you expected me to beg?â
Your fresh drink barely even grazed your lips before you slammed it down on the bar. The room was suddenly too loud, too crowded, too suffocating. âNo, Charles, I expected you to care.â You despised how your voice broke at the end of your sentence.
That lands. His facade crumbled ever-so-slightly, enough for you to see the vulnerability you became all too familiar with. The regrets rippling in your stomach did not correlate with the words you spew out. Charles took a step closer, and suddenly his expensive cologne and something so distinctively him overwhelm you. âYou think I didnât?â Barely contained frustration curled around every syllable, his voice an octave lower. âYou think it didnât kill me to watch you go?â
âIf it really killed you, you wouldâve stopped me.â
His gaze dulled, and the fingers around his glass twitched. âAnd if you really wanted to stay, you wouldnât have left.â
The words settled between the two of you like a live wire, buzzing and electrifying. Charlesâ eyes scrutinized yours, and as he put his empty flute of champagne on the counter, you couldnât stand how your pulse stuttered when his fingers grazed yours. The same hand flexed by his side.
Whatever anger you felt when you started spewing venom at him slowly died down, replaced by something you couldnât quite put your finger on. Acerbic regrets, maybe, mixed with the wet outrage of misplaced resentment. Your limits were drawn at the emptiness of your stomach, the hum of the vodka in your veins, and the hollow of Charles' pupils when he looked at you.
You no longer knew what it meant, and you werenât sure you could handle the uncertainty.
âWe shouldnât be doing this at Bridgetâs party,â you murmured. âShe deserves to have a good night. Jaime too.â
âYouâre right.â He looked at the ground, and you swore his eyes were shining. âIs there even a right time to do this?â
âThereâs none for us. Not anymore, at least. You missed your opportunity a year ago.â
You slowly slid a bill toward the waiter, took your cocktail, and carefully avoided looking at Charles as you walked away. Youâd have to shorten your time at this party if you wanted to survive it. Bridget would understand â she always did. Something cruel in the back of your mind wondered if Charles would do too.
Most of your time was spent mingling with old friends and acquaintances. You answered the same questions with the same smile and tone for each of them: Yes, you needed a fresh start, thatâs why you left. No, you were at peace with your current situation, it was a clean slate. Maybe youâd want to join them for dinner, one day. No, you didnât care Charles was there tonight, not at all.
Yet, you were painfully aware of the Monegasqueâs presence. It was a magnetic pull, in the way you wanted to avoid him like the plague but neither of you could stray too far away: you were both orbiting around each other, far enough for your heart to settle but too close for comfort. It wasnât enough â you didnât know which one you were talking about.
You found Bridget after another good hour of waltzing around the room, and she dropped on you with a flurry of apologies about not telling you sooner, that she learned last minute Charles was coming. You laughed it off to reassure her, but the truth was that you were already ready to leave. A minute spent there was one more minute dipping your toes in a dangerous type of nostalgia. You didnât feel capable of handling it any longer.
But you did promise Bridget to stay until the slow dance.
It was fairytale-like, how the jazz music and the incessant rumbling of conversation turned into soft piano and hushed whispers as Jaime and she stepped onto the dance floor. The color coordination of their clothes, their smiles as they basked into each otherâs presence, happy, their graceful yet discreet movements to the music â they would have a beautiful wedding, and Bridget would make the most beautiful bride. A single teardrop slipped past your lashes.
You were in the first rank of the circle that formed around them. People were elbowing others to share your spot, so it wasnât much of a shock when Charles ended up next to you. You still had to repress back a sharp gasp at his sudden proximity. âThey look perfect,â he whispered, barely audible.
You didnât know if he spoke to himself or if he noticed you next to him. You answered nonetheless. âThey really do.â Charles didnât look surprised by your interjection, which made you understand the comment was indeed directed at you.
âDo youâŠâ He hesitated, sneaking a glance that you met by accident. âDo you think we looked like that, at some point?â
Music filled the air between you. âYes. We did.â
A half-smile stretched your lips, though without any substance to it. Slowly, people and couples all around you joined Bridget and Jaime on the dance floor. Their partners took hold of their waist, intertwined hands, and slowly glided around the marble floor. It was hypnotizing.
Charlesâ fingers twitched in the dim light of the room, brushing yours oh so innocently. Shivers ran down your spine at the soft contact. It was only a matter of seconds before you subconsciously sought his touch once more, out of habit or homesickness, you didnât know. Casually, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world, your hands intertwined. It was hesitant, and you just kept staring at the slow dance in front of you, but the feeling of his knuckles grazing yours, the back of his hand youâd trace the veins of during long nightsâŠ
The weight of memories made you nauseous.Â
You needed to get out. Now. You barely even muttered an excuse before snapping your hand back and rushing outside.
The night was sharp against your overheated skin, but the three cocktails you inhaled were enough to keep you warm. Breathe in through the nose, out by the mouth â again and again, until the palpitations against your ribcage finally ceased. What the hell was that?
Your fingers still tingled from where Charles had touched them â so innocent, so casual, like he hadnât once held your entire world in his hand and let it slip away. You squeezed your eyes shut: you couldnât handle this party any longer. You stuck until the slow dance, you fulfilled your promise. Except you were supposed to sleep at Bridgetâs tonight, sparing you the added expense of a hotel in Monaco, and she wasnât leaving her own engagement party anytime soon, even for you. You could hitchhike or call an Uber if you knew where her house was.
No hotel booked. No backup plan. No escape.
A familiar voice broke your thoughts. âRunning again?â
You turned abruptly to see Charles at the grand entrance of the building. He stood there, hands buried in his pockets, the soft light of the entry hall graciously dancing on his features. His expression was unreadable, but his eyesâ God, his eyes. They held something between concern and something else, something unreachable and unspoken. You swallowed with difficulty.
âNot everything is about you, Charles.â
He hummed. âDidnât say it was.â
Silence. He took a few steps closer, and the thick fog of the situation tightened around you â the past, the present, the fact you had nowhere to go. Charles titled his head, studying you. âYou donât have a place to stay, do you?â
You bit the inside of your cheek, hating how easily he could still see right through you after everything. âIâm sleeping over at Bridgetâs.â
âBut you donât want to stay until the partyâs over.â
You prayed somebody would make him shut up as you answered through gritted teeth. âIâll figure something out.â
At this point, the Monegasque was close enough that you could see the muscle ticking in his jaw, like the idea of you wandering through the city alone at this hour physically pained him. A few seconds passed before a sigh escaped him and he spoke up again.
âCome to mine.â
You blinked. âWhat?â
Charles' gaze softened, almost making your knees buckle under the heaviness of it, but his tone remained steady, if somewhat quieter when he confessed, âI still have some of your things. It makes sense. I know youâre not capable of waiting until the end of the party.â
It makes sense. Like it was logical, like it wasnât dangerous for your heart to step back into the house that held so many feelings and memories. Your lips parted, forming a protest, but Charles beat you to it. âIâll sleep on the couch if thatâs what you want.â His voice dipped, now lower with insistence and blatant worry. âBut donât be stubborn. Just let me take you home.â
Home.
You exhaled shakily. The word was enough to make you shudder, or maybe it was the hopeful way Charlesâ tone curled around it.
Any person in their right mind would have said no. You should say no. You should call a cab to a random hotel and make do like you always did. But your body betrayed you: you nodded, slowly, before your mind could catch up with your actions.Â
Charles didnât gloat or smile. Instead, a visible tension seemed to leave his shoulders and he stepped aside as if waiting for you to move first to his car, you could see the familiar shape of it in the distance. He was giving you the opportunity to leave, the one he never gave you back then.
You still sat in the passenger seat.
The city lights blurred past during the short ride. It was quiet, not awkward â just heavy. You couldnât forget the way to his house, your house, even if you tried to. It was a tear in your soul, a reminder. Every streetlight brushed against his features in flickers. You tried your best not to stare, but his sharp jaw, the way his hands gripped the steering wheel a little too tight⊠Neither of you spoke. Maybe that was safer.
When he pulled into the garage and killed the engine, you finally exhaled.
âCome on,â Charles said softly, as if he was afraid too much noise would break whatever fragile thread held you together.
Walking into his house was like stepping into the remnants of a dream when the morning came.
It smelled the same â clean, and the faint trace of his amber cologne clung to the air and your skin like melted plastic. âIâll get you something to sleep in,â Charles said, disappearing into his bedroom. Once, it was yours.
A few things had changed, youâre pretty sure the lamp in the corner of the living room wasn't there before and he changed the rug â you always hated it anyway. But some hadnât. A red sweater you used to steal regularly hung over the couch. You ran your fingers along the kitchen counter, a ghost tracing the memories of a past life. How many times had you leaned against this exact spot, laughing at some dumb joke he made while he cooked?
When Charles returned, he was changed into a simple white tee shirt and gray sweatpants. He held out something all too familiar â white shorts and a tee-shirt of his, brown, soft, and worn. After a while sleeping at his, it became more yours than it was his and he ended up giving it to you. It was your favorite.
You hesitated. âYou kept it?â
âI kept most of it.â He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck.
Your fingers brushed his as you took it and for a second, neither of you moved. âThank you,â you whispered. Charles just nodded and you made your way to the bathroom.
You changed, hands trembling as you slipped the shirt on. It smelled like fresh laundry and something so undeniably him. You hated how much comfort it brought you. How good it felt on your skin. You looked around the bathroom, noticing some of your leftover skincare products aligned next to the mirror of what used to be your side, and you swallowed with difficulty. He kept most of it. Your heart threatened to give out right here and there. When you walked out, Charles was sitting on the couch, staring into the emptiness.
You should go to sleep. You should pretend this is normal and turn away. But there are a lot of things you should have done tonight and didnât do, so what was one more?
Instead, you walked over and hesitantly settled beside him, a little bit closer than you should be, the pounding in your chest so loud you were afraid he could hear it. The city lights poured through the windows, drenching his face in long shadows and nostalgia. Neither of you said anything for a while, basking in the stillness of what was.
Then, so quietly you barely caught itâ âI missed you.â
The corners of your eyes started burning the second the words left his lips. His head sharply turned toward you, eyes searching for something in your face. âI know⊠I know I donât get to say that, but itâs the truth.âÂ
Your breath hitched. If you were a better person, you would have let it go. Let it sit in the air, fade away like all the things he should have said but never did. But the weight of them, the sheer audacity they let transpire after everything â it would kill you to just let it be. Your fingers curled against your knees as you forced out a wet, bitter laugh that didnât even sound like yours.
âThatâs your problem, Charles. You always tell the truth when itâs too fucking late.â
His jaw visibly tensed. âThatâs not fair. Youâre not innocent either.â
âIsnât it?â This time, you fully turned to face him. You were angry, but underneath all that rage was something fragile hiding in the depths of your facade, something so desperately broken, begging to be fixed. Your voice wavered as you continued. âYou missed me? Where was this when I was actually there? When I was waiting for you to show up, to choose me over everything else for once?â
âYou think I didnât want to?â
You scoffed. âI think you didnât.â
The silence was deafening. Charles leaned back against the couch, and he exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. âYou donât understand.â
Your breath caught in your throat, and the feelings you spent a year trying to bury under the pretense of peace rushed to the surface, drowning you with it. âThen help me,â your voice broke, âmake me understand, Charles, because all I can remember is feeling like I was never good enough.â
His head snapped toward you. His expressionâ Raw. Devastated. Emotions painfully obvious in every trait. âYou were enough. More than enough, you were everything. And Iâ I just didnât know how to keep you.â His voice was just as teary as yours, if a little stronger, as if he was mad at himself. Your heart twisted violently in your chest.
âThen why did you let me go?â
Charles ran a hand down his face, looking up at the ceiling like the answer was hidden in the dark lights. His next sentence came out in something next to a whisper. âBecause I thought itâd be better for you.â
âYou donât get to decide that.â You let out a wobbly breath.
His lips parted slightly, like he wanted to argue, like he wanted to take back the words and shove them back in his mouth in shame â but he didnât. He let them simmer between you two, like so many other things.
You had spent so long thinking that Charles didnât love you enough to fight for you. But now, here in the dim glow of his house, the faint sounds of cars and laughter coming from the streets echoing against the walls, you realized the truth was even crueler. He loved you enough to let you go. It didnât make it hurt any less â for all you knew, it wrecked you even more.
Everything was so fragile. The tension between you, the past, the feeble source of city lights shining on you both. And thenâ his fingers twitched. Just slightly, resting on the couch beside you, brushing against yours, remnants of what happened in the party hall. It was small, hesitant. A question.
You knew where this would lead. You knew that nothing had changed, that the past still sat uncomfortably between you like an open wound. But, God help you, you turned your hand over almost immediately, allowing your fingers to thread through his. A shaky breath left his lips. Relief, surrender, and his thumb traced soft circles against your skin, old habits reignited like they never left.
âI donât want to fight anymore,â Charles murmured.
âThen what do you want?â
He swallowed, his grip on your hand tightening as if he was afraid youâd disappear.
âYou. Just you.â
Your heart rate picked up, your resolve crumbling like sand through an hourglass. Because you wanted him too. Maybe you always would.
And so, Charles leaned in, imperceptibly, hesitant and almost afraid in his gesture. His eyes darted from your eyes to your lips to your eyes again, and there was no coming back from that. Your lips crashed onto his.
It was different, distinguished from all the other ones you shared before. It wasnât fueled by anger, desperation, or habit. The way his lips moved against yours in perfect synchronization, the ghost-like touch of his fingers running up your arms, his shaky breath against your skin when you parted for a split second too long. It was soft, lingering. The kind of kiss that felt like home.
And maybe, just for tonight, youâd let yourself believe that was enough.
You threw your arms around his neck, and melted against him when his rough palms found the dip of your waist. It was a rhythm you didnât forget, no matter how many months passed. Charles lifted you up easily, as if you were nothing, settling you in his lap and his lips never once leaving yours. The kiss, so delicate and gentle, grew more and more erratic and his hands started roaming your sides, lower, right above the curve of your ass.
A quiet sigh escaped you when his head buried in your neck, nibbling against your supple skin, breathing you in like a drug. Your hands tangled in his hair. Charlesâ grip on your hips got tighter, pressing you against him. He hissed, and you could feel every centimeter of him through his sweatpants touching your throbbing core. The effect you still had on him would have made you smile if your senses werenât completely captured by the feeling of his mouth on your body, the delightful friction sending waves of pleasure coursing through your veins.Â
âPlease, Y/N,â he pleaded, high-pitched and desperate into your neck. He pushed himself up against your shorts, and a moan drew out of you, louder than any of your silent sighs. âBordel, please, let meâŠâ
There was no hesitation in your voice when you answered. âYes.â
Charles wasted no time. His hands grabbed your thighs hard enough to leave marks and lifted you up, lips still on yours. You locked your legs around his waist and, carefully, he walked you to the bedroom.Â
He set you down on the silky sheets as if you were made of porcelain, yet the way he kissed you was anything but gentle. His tongue slipped past your lips, demanding access you offered without a second thought. You could finally taste your shared breath, remnants of champagne, espresso, and tears lingering in the way he angled his mouth. He bruised you with his kiss. How you missed it. Him. The both of you.
Charlesâ hands traveled further up, slowly dipping underneath your shirt. It didnât take long for it to end up on the floor. He leaned back, staring at your body, leaving you panting from the sudden lack of contact. He took you in like a priceless painting, breathless himself like you hung the stars in the sky for him.
âYouâre so beautiful,â Charles whispered, and the ache between your legs only intensified. One hand came to knead your naked breast, fingers ghosting over your erect nipple. You whimpered at the sudden contact. âFuck, I missed seeing you like this. Hearing you. You canât imagine how many nights I spent thinking about what Iâd do to you if you were mine again. Just once.â He pinched your sensitive bud, and this time, his name slipped past your lips.
âCharlesâŠâ You gasped, gazing up at him through half-lidded eyes. His gaze darkened at the sound of his name, and you saw how cock twitch through the thin fabric of his pants.
Your hands reached to untie the knot tying his sweatpants. His hands simply grazing you werenât enough. He wasnât the only one who spent nights reminiscing and gasping alone at night in an empty room â you needed him close. In every way. You needed it to be real.
Gently, he pushed your hand away and you couldnât stop the whine that came out of your mouth. âDoucement,â Charles whispered.
He leaned down and dragged his lips on the curve of your neck, tasting your skin. He planted a kiss in the middle of your chest, took a nipple in his mouth he swirled around on his tongue and let out with an erotic pop, followed the line of your stomach until he reached the dangerously low hem of your shorts. He would look patient if the iron grip he had on your hips wasnât betraying him.
Your breathing was uneven, and anticipation stained your underwear and shorts with a wet patch you would be ashamed of if you werenât so desperate for touch. Charles untied and slipped off your shorts with a timed precision, and when his fingers started playing with the border of your panties, you couldnât take it anymore. âPleaseâŠâÂ
Charles dropped a kiss on your clothed cunt, and you squirmed beneath him. âTell me you want me.â
His words didnât register in the fog of want clouding your mind. He repeated, this time with a little more force. âTell me you want me, Y/N. Please.â
Your chest tightened at the pathetic need in his voice. âI want you. I want you so bad, Charââ
You didnât notice him push your panties aside. All you knew was the feeling of his tongue, a slow lap along your folds, and any words you wanted to say died on your tongue with a silent cry.
It wasnât soft or relaxed. Charles ate you out like a starved man as if the air he needed to live was between your legs. It was messy, a newfound fervor found as he circled your clit with his tongue, sucking on it, torturing it. You bucked under his mouth, pushing your hips against him, always craving more, more, more. More of the tightness in your lower stomach, more of him. When he lowered himself further and started exploring your warmth, you could barely breathe through the gasps and whines spilling from your lips.
Charles watched you eagerly from his point of view, hooded eyes glazed over by pure lust and need. His arms were hooked beneath your thighs, smothering himself in your cunt, and with his tongue pushing deeper inside you, the pad of his fingers came pressing down on your clit, making rapid and hard circles. The pace, fast and needy, his drunken look, the familiarity of it all⊠it was all too overwhelming. You were a writhing mess underneath this man.
After a year, he still knew your body by heart.
Your hands tangled in his hair, pulling him as close as you could, eliciting a groan out of him that reverberated straight into your core. The knot in your stomach grew tighter and tighter, your breathing erratic. âCharles, Iâm gonnaâ Fuck! Iâm close, please, Iâmââ
And right as you were about to let yourself go, he stopped.
The high slipping through your finger was enough to throw you in deep confusion as you glanced down at him, your hands falling from his hair to the side of his face. Charlesâ lips were glistening with your arousal, his gaze dark and hair messy, heaving. He looked downright pornographic.
He spoke up before you could word your protest. âNeed to be inside of you, mon amour. Need to feel you coming around me.â His voice was hoarse and possessive, leaving no room for argument. The familiar pet name sent shivers down your entire body and you couldnât find it in you to oppose him, not when you craved the same.
Charles was a man possessed, fumbling with the waistband of his sweats as you hurriedly helped him out of his shirt. His lean muscles on display, you traced them with your palm, feeling every scattered breath and the hitches of it when your nails grazed his skin. You stopped at the waistband of his boxers. You wished you werenât as impatient, otherwise you would have savored the begging scrunch of his eyebrows, or the quiet whimpers escaping him. Instead, you released him from torture and helped him take it off.
His cock sprung out and tapped his stomach. At some point in your life, you got used to the size of it â now, you werenât sure if your body knew how to take its length anymore. Slowly, Charles' hands gripped your hips to slide you closer to him, grinding his engorged member against your entrance. The sensation, so little and so much at the same time, had you release a strangled cry.
Charles leaned in closer, upper body above you, palms pressed next to each side of your head. âDâyou want it? This? Me?â His tip nudged your hole a little harder, and the small shock had you seeing stars. âUs?â
The question was charged with emotions and tears pricked your eyes. You wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him as close as you could. âYes. More than anything.â
Those were all the words he needed. In a slow, agonizing push, he slid inside of you.
Nothing in the world could ever matter after that. It was dizzying, you could get drunk on the feeling: Charles filled you up so completely, reaching every sweet spot inside of you without even trying, and your back arched as if answering to his command. He took the opportunity to capture your back with one arm, bodies flushing against the other. You couldnât remember the last time something had felt this right.
âFuck⊠you feel so good, so tight,â he moaned in your ear. âMade for me. You were made for me.â
You answered between sharp intakes of air. âYours, Charles.â
You felt his cock twitch inside of you at your words. He bottomed out, sucking in the thin skin of your collarbone. You croaked as he asked, âMine?â
âAll yours. Always have.â
All you could remember from here was the tangled mess of limbs you both became. His thrusts were erratic, slamming his hips upon yours like he was trying to mold your body to fit his. Your nails dug into his back â you dragged them down, finding no other outlet for the ache within you. Twisting, biting, moaning and kissing, lips and tongues at war to see who will leave the biggest imprint. Charlesâ iron-clad hold on you only intensified the feverish state of the two of you, your skin glistening, panting. You couldnât think straight anymore. All of you was his and all of his was yours.
âShit, âM getting close,â Charles managed to articulate. âNeed you to finish first. Fuck, need you to fall apart so I can see.â
You could only cry out his name in response, an unanswered prayer spilling from your lips. âIâm right there,â his pace picked up, his thrusts uneven between the plush of your thighs. âCâmon, I know you can do it. Let go for me, mon ange.â
The pad of his fingers drew slow circles on your clit, his rhythm relentless. It did it for you: in a flash of white, the knot in your lower stomach snapped. Everything narrowed down to the stuttering of Charlesâ hips, spilling soon after you. He coated your insides with his warmth and broken pleas escaped you as he fucked your high and his with languid movements, gradually slowing down, bringing you down in the softest way possible.
The sheets were tangled, the air of the bedroom thick with heat, but neither of you spoke as Charles collapsed next to you. It was the type of silence that only came before something inevitable.
Your chest was still rising and falling unevenly, skin warm, raw from the way you had just taken each other apart. Charles laid on his back, one arm draped over his forehead, taking steady and measured breathsâ like he was trying to regulate something deeper than exhaustion. In the dim glow of his bedroom, reality finally settled in.
What you just did, with the guilt, heartbreak, and relief coming with it.
You sat up until you reached the edge of the bed, gazing emptily in front of you, wrapped in the sheets that smelled like you and him, your fingers playing with the hem of the fabric as you tried to remember how to breathe. You didnât know what you should do from here and desperately dug in the depths of your mind to find an answer.
Behind you, Charles shifted. The mattress dipped under his weight, and before you could register his sudden closeness, you felt the warmth of his palm grazing up and down your spine, featherlight.
âYouâre thinking too much,â he murmured, voice hoarse.
You swallowed hard, staring at the Monaco lights outside his window. âI donât know how not to.â
Silence. Then, a whisper- âCome back to bed.â
You closed your eyes. The words shouldnât have made you feel anything. They should have been meaningless, casual, something you could ignore â this whole ordeal should have been a one-time thing you could have forgotten when the morning came. But they werenât.
Because you remembered this.
The way he used to whisper it on nights where youâd get up at ungodly hours, restless. The way he always reached for you, even in sleep. You turned slightly, catching sight of him in the semi-darkness of the room: messy hair, kiss-bruised lips, green eyes heavy with a feeling you knew too well but were too scared to name.
âCharlesâŠâ
âI know,â he said, almost frustrated. âI know weââ He cut himself off, dragging a hand through his hair. Softerâ âI know it doesnât fix anything. I know weâll wake up tomorrow and weâll still beâŠâ
Exes. Strangers.
People who still fit together in every way that mattered, except the ones that actually kept them from breaking.
âBut⊠just for tonight, can you stay? With me? We can talk about it tomorrow. Just⊠stay.â
You hesitated.
Then, gently, you let the sheets slip from your naked shoulders as you turned fully, shifting back onto the mattress beside him. For a second, neither of you moved or even dared to breathe, too afraid to ruin it. Hesitantly, carefully, Charles reached for you. It wasnât demanding, nor possessive like he was when you were busy unraveling each other â it was in the heat of the moment. This was raw, emotional, uncertain. Like he wasnât sure he was allowed to.
You made the choice for him. Moving closer, you tucked yourself against his side, tangling your legs with his and resting your hands on his chest in an all too familiar fashion, the heat of skin warming you up.Â
Charles melted and released a slow, shaky exhale as he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer. His fingers retraced the same patterns he did earlier along your back. The contact made your chest twist.
You chose to ignore it. You chose to ignore it all â tonight, this will be enough. You, him, and the unsaid. Everything else could wait until sunrise.

M A F I O S O x GN! READER. (HEADCANONS.)
Wazzup, forsaken players/fans, making your meal for today.
Warnings: None, lol.
.
.
.
.
.
M A F I O S O.

( POST UNDER THE CUT. )
âą First of all, he would be quite intimidating towards you. But, knowing that he was a killer, you slowly got used to it, (just.. slowly.)
âą But, after a few months of surviving and helping your teammates survive, he slowly became intrigued by you. And each round as you kept helping the survivors and doing the generator, he lurked, in the darkness, amused by this on-going cat-&-mouse chase. (And mostly, by you.)
âą A few other killers would catch up to his behavior, but would never bring it up towards him. Because, knowing his status, they would rather stay silent of his softness towards you, (and only you.) than face his unnerving wrath.
âą He would noticeably become more gentle towards you, in chasing, and in targeting. (Of course, for the others, he would still be the same as ever. Chasing them at full speed, scaring them, and brutally murdering them if he had a chance.)
âą And when you were injured, he'd appear from the darkness, and gently help you to go to a safe spot, and probably lead you towards a medical supply kit. (Or just flat out give you one.)
âą Oh, yeah, if someone tried to make fun of you, or just flat out bully/aggravate you, well, let's just say he's the first one on his hit list!
âą Sometimes, he particularly daydreams about being by your side, but, of course, it would immediately be crushed, since.. you were both in opposite afflictions. And the fact always made him feel quite blue.
âą ".. Hey, are you okay?" C00lkid asked him, as he broke out of his thoughts, before sighing, as he answered. ".. Yeah.. 'm.." He mumbled, as he glanced at the ground, before responding, ".. Fine.." He answered in a British accent. As C00lkid approached him, before gently patting his back in support. (Y'all, he might be a literal kid, but THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SOCIAL CUES/BODY LANGUAGE IS. HE MIHT BE A CHILD, BUT HE'S SMART.)
âą Needless to say, he's smitten and always gives you the princess treatment, (only for you.)
DATING HEADCANONS:
âą Oh, you, a normal survivor, and a ruthless and merciless murderer, DATING???.. Well, that wasn't on your list, but, you couldn't complain much either.
âą He would pamper you with gifts, and luxurious gifts. You have debt? Not anymore, he already cleared that out, oh, and you moved in his house (mansion), by the way.
âą He would definitely act chivalrous towards you, he would gently kiss your knuckles and greet you fabulously, and if it was raining, and you had no umbrella? Oh, don't worry, your 7'0 feet tall (that's how I headcanon his height, cus, who wouldn't think his height is over 6'0 feet? Jk-) boyfriend will cover you with HIS umbrella, and if he doesn't have one? Well, he'll take of his coat, and cover you with it. (Such a gentleman.)
âą And if someone flat out makes fun of you, or hurt you in anyway? Oh, bless their soul, (K, he probably won't say that to them, cus HOW. DARE. THEY.) He would absolutely call his gang and do a manhunt after that person, and absolutely show them why they shouldn't mess with what was his, you. (Don't worry, they just had a nice chat, even if they didn't appear again in a decade.)
âą If someone flirts with you? He would absolutely give them the most nastiest, and threatening glare to roblox-kind, a silent warning to back, off. But if they didn't, and kept flirting with you, and started touching you without your consent. Oh, he'll absolutely pull them outside, and.. privately deal with them, outside. (They were found in an alley, dead, with broken ribs, a headshot, 23 gunshot wounds, with no evidence of the killer.)
âą He wouldn't really flirt with you that much, but, after a round, be prepared for a barrage of cuddles and affection. He would hold you closely, and gently, but firm enough that you won't escape his grasp, but not that firm that it would hurt you. (The killer x survivor trope is still here, by the way.)
âą Dates? Oh, if he wasn't busy.. but if he WASN'T, oh, be prepared for a luxurious feast, and lavish clothes. (I headcanon him having personal tailors that makes him his and your personal clothes.) But, he rarely goes out on public dates, since he prefers it private, since he thinks it's more intimate. But, If you begged him, he would eventually go with it. (Oh, he simply can't resist you.)
âą You play instruments? Oh, he'll ask you if you can teach him, and if you compliment him on his progress, he'll quietly blush, and mumble a silent thanks.
âą Would simply dance with you, in private. But, if you don't know how to dance? Well, he'll be your private tutor, he'll gently guide you the steps, if you do trip, he'll just catch you and wrap an arm around your waist, and ask if you're alright. (He's that sweet and a gentleman, if he takes an interest.
âą He was probably the first one to ASK if he could kiss you, after his confession, BUT, you WOULD be the first one to kiss him, after he asked you that question. (He's probably dying inside internally lmao.)
âą Overall, a 10/10 fiancee/hubby, idk, but HE'S A GREEN FLAG!!!! đđ
(OMGGGG THIS TOOK SO LONG đđđ)

SO excited for the results of this make me write. It was so hard to decide and I wish I could do them all but I think I will ask for đ€đ€đ€ or â€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©č whichever you get less of đ„°
I've got about six other beep boop asks in the queue lol, so I'm going to go with â€ïžâđ©č! Let's rewind to before the break-up. c:
âĄ
They were cuddling on Tommyâs couch. Tommy was behind him, hands resting protectively on Buckâs belly. He had been doing that a lot latelyâholding him there, touching him there. Buck wasnât sure if Tommy was aware he kept doing it.
Buck hadn't said anything. He didnât want to call attention to it and risk having Tommy stop. Because he liked it. Okay, more than just liked it. His body was sending him strong signals about what the Alpha wanted, and it was making him a little stupid with need.
His heart sped up.
Of course, Tommy noticed. One of his hands started rubbing in a hypnotic, circular motion. âWhat's up?â
âI-Iâve been thinking,â Buck started, trying not to get distracted by the petting. His eyes closed. âIâd like to spend my next heat with you.â
âOh?â Tommy said, after a small intake of breath Buck couldnât really decipher.
He didn't say anything else, waiting for Buck to elaborate on his thoughts.
Buck had never enjoyed his heats. Dreaded them because of how desperate they made him, among other undesirable attributes, but maybe it would be different with Tommy. Every time theyâd gotten hot and heavy with each other, it was so good, an intense burn that kept building.
Buck was used to being a service omega, but with Tommy, he hadn't fallen into that role. He didn't feel like a wind-up toy, only good for one use, one purpose. His world had been shaken and turned upside down. He actually felt kind of giddy, for once.
âY-you said I could set the pace, but I also donât want to pressure you,â Buck continued. âIf youâre not ready yet or donât want to, thatâs totally fine. Or if we get to the middle of things and you decide itâs too muchât-that Iâm too muchâyou donât have to stay.â
That already went unspoken, but Buck wanted to assure Tommy that he had an out. He wasnât stuck with Buck if he got too whiny, too needy, too clingy. Like he always did.
Tommyâs grip on him had gone slack. He was silent for so long Buck had to sit up and turn around. Tommy looked⊠kind of horrified, actually.
Buckâs stomach twisted. That was definitely not the reaction heâd been hoping for.
He backtracked. âO-or! Secret third option: We can forget this conversation ever happened and go on a fun date after my cycle is over. I was looking at this new sushi place the other day that hasââ
âNo.â Tommy let out a slow breath, eyes wide. âIâm sorry, Iâm just still trying to process what you said. You think I would leave you in the middle of your heat? That's ludicrous, Evan. Even if, for whatever reason, I couldnât continue, I wouldnât abandon any omega like that.â Tommy tilted Buck's chin up gently, eyes filled with sincerity. âEspecially not my omega. Have past partners done that to you?â
âUh.â Buck swallowed hard, feeling suddenly very off-kilter and overwhelmed. âYes? Iâm⊠you know, a l-lot to handle. D-difficult. E-e-exhausting. Itâs okay.â
âOh, it is so far from okay,â Tommy said. His scent had changed, no longer relaxed. Filling the air with an edge of bitter anger he was trying to keep at bay.
Buck didnât know what to do, so he followed his instincts and hugged his Alpha. Tommy's tension released. He hugged Buck back. They nuzzled each other, Buck focusing on Tommy's scent gland.
âAnd now youâre comforting me,â Tommy added with a weak chuckle of disbelief.
âI didnât mean to upset you,â Buck murmured, burying his nose in Tommyâs shoulder and kissing it.
âIâm upset for you, Evan. You didnât deserve to be treated that way. You're none of those things.â Buck made an involuntary sound, and Tommy squeezed him. âIâm going to take care of you, okay? Iâm going to show you what a heat is supposed to be like.â

Hello! One idea for the little text stories might be to send a "I miss you" text in the middle of the night. It would be fun to see the ghouls' reaction.
Hello hello! This was definitely on my to-do list hehe. The only problem I had was I just wasn't sure how to approach it.. In the end I decided to go with a bit more serious tone and not doing it as a prank thing, I hope that's okay!
Also I think this time you and the ghouls just started dating! You've been close for a long time and now that you're a couple... Sending a text like this feels more natural to you. Let's start with Hotarubi and Frostheim ghouls!
Texting Hotarubi and Frostheim ghouls "I miss you" in the middle of the night
Haku would usually tease the hell out of you. Usually. But realizing how late it is, he gets worried. He will be getting dressed the moment he sees your first message. Any of your protests are useless. He will come over to take you out for a nightly relaxing stroll. He won't leave your side until he sees you start to yawn.

Subaru will tread very carefully. He's not feeling very confident in the relationship yet. That's why he's very scared of upsetting you in any way. Deep down he is very happy you decided to text him though. He really likes feeling needed. Definitely will offer his company, if that's what you need.

Zenji will be very gentle with you. He knows everyone has moments of sadness. And he will do his best to reassure and comfort you. He can't help but to smile fondly though. The thought of you seeking his presence warms his heart. He feels like it's his duty to make you smile every chance he gets.

He will question you first. Why aren't you sleeping? But then Jin recognizes the tone. Something is amiss. He softens considerably, even if it's not easy to see at first glance. He has to make sure you're okay no matter what. And what's a better way than coming over and wrapping his arms around you?

Tohma will try to tease you a little bit. That's just his way of subtly investigating he matter. When he sees it's not having the usual effect, he will change his approach. He wishes you were a bit more open about your wishes sometimes. But since he's very good at reading between the lines, he won't deny you what you want. He will be there for you when you need him.

He's very sweet to you, always been. Luca will be by your side in a heartbeat. You only need to say a word. He will bring you some of your favorite snacks too, knowing they usually help with improving your mood. If you don't really want to talk, that's fine. He will just quietly hold you in his arms until you're feeling better.

Kaito enters his panic mode as usual. All sorts of thoughts cross his mind. Maybe he didn't spend enough time with you lately? Maybe there's something wrong between you two? You'll have to step up and calm him down at first, I'm afraid. Once he's finally aware you just wish to see him, he will be at your door in seconds. Literally.

Ask Masterpost #7 (Admin Asks) -- 3/15/2025
Maybe I should change the posting date of these to Sunday so I stop procrastinating them on Saturdays, LOL.
Anyways, this is the first edition of non-blog focused asks (fun questions, personal questions, etc), so I'm not going to write up a summary since none of this is essential information for submissions or anything like that :).
Since I'm writing it up so late in the day I'm going to post it with my answers, but Mod Rae may update it with their answers so feel free to check back! In the future hopefully I'll be able to write it up in enough time to give them a chance :').
----------
@foulwinter asked: Ever heard of either of Sonic CD's soundtracks? I grew up with the US soundtrack but I love both of them. I think the war between which soundtrack is silly when you look at it from the perspective of having MORE Sonic CD music
Admin: I have never been a big sonic fan, so I have no horse in this race :'). But I do agree that it's nice to have more soundtrack per soundtrack!
----------
@pearlhoardingdragon asked: If you had to stick with one family of consoles for the rest of your life, would it be playstation, nintendo, or xbox?
Admin: PC 4 Lyfe (I never had enough money for consoles growing up </3). I'd probably pick Nintendo though, since I like the switch and DS.
----------
Thoughts on Yoko Shimomura?
Admin: LOVE HER!!! I haven't played a lot of the games she has worked on but from what I've heard from her she is đ„đ„đ„đ„
----------
who's your favourite villain in ffxiv?
Admin: The only Final Fantasy villain I know is Sephiroth... and I think he's cute and silly đ
----------
stance on Nerdcore video game songs? (Miracle of Sound, Aviators, JT Music, etc) both as submissions and just in general.
Admin: I don't think I have a strong/opinion-worthy stance on any genre of music, because all music that I like regardless of genre is good music. Simple as.
----------
Would you say you've gotten fulfillment out of starting this project? I remember you have it posted somewhere that you started this blog because you wanted to listen to new music, so what's it been like? Any favorites that stand out?
Admin: Yes!! This has been really fun and ESPECIALLY so since I finally figured out some things to help me maintain it without messing with my insane schedule within the last few months. I definitely need to make a proper list of my favorites but I think my most favorite song that I discovered 100% from submissions alone is #212, Tenebre Rosso Sangue from ULTRAKILL. (this wasn't an anon ask, but I forgot to write the blog name before deleting the ask to clear it from my inbox... </3)
----------
what is your favourite kind of bread, actually?
Admin: Any flatbread!!!!!! Pita bread, naan, roti, and especially tortillas <-- put it in my mouth
----------
out of every song posted, do you have a least favourite? if so, what?
Admin: The Ao Oni chase theme (#125) because it scared me.
----------
thank you for all your hard work hosting this blog. question: has it been fun to discover so many songs through the blog? the level of variety is really cool. out of curiosity, how much of the music would you say you have personally already known before they were submitted?
Admin: I'd say I've probably only heard 5-10% of the songs submitted here before :'). But that just means that this blog is highly effective at helping me find new music!
----------
my favourite kind of results are what i like to call the penis results. it usually happens when "like it/first time hearing it" gets the lead while "like/sounds familiar" and "don't feel strongly" take like 10-12% each. are there any specific poll results that you've found particularly interesting for any reason
Admin: 1. I'm calling that phenomena penis results now and 2. #689, which has the highest 'Like and Familiar' result of any song at 49.60%. The average % for this category is 19.19%.
----------
Have you ever gotten a submission on this blog that youâre disappointed more people donât know?
Admin: EVERY NIER SONG EVER!!!!!!!! GO PLAY NIER REPLICANT RIGHT NOW IT IS 60% OFF UNTIL MARCH 20TH.
----------
Do you have a series you expected to get a lot of requests for, but haven't?
Admin: There's surprisingly few Persona requests, which I expected to be more popular. There's also one song in particular (not from persona) that I'm surprised I haven't seen yet (not naming it, I don't want to invite inorganic submissions!)
----------
what is your favorite piece of music outside videogames?
Admin: This is hard because my favorites are pretty much always changing (other than the one song I listen to obsessively multiple times a day, of course) and I can never pick just one anyways... I think I'd have to go with (as of writing this) 'With All Its Complexities' by Kyoumeni from her album 'And Then I Woke Up.'

đœđźđ¶đżđ¶đ»đŽ: max verstappen x fem!reader
đđđșđșđźđżđ: the one where max agrees to be your date to your exâs wedding, playing the role of the perfect boyfriend⊠until he realizes he doesnât want to pretend anymore
đșđđđ¶đ°: the one - the chainsmokers
đđźđżđ»đ¶đ»đŽđ: none!

.ă»ă.ă»ăâă».ă»â«ă»ăă»ă. .ă»ă.ă»ăâă».ă»â«ă»ăă»
Max was shocked when you asked him to be your escort to your former boyfriend's wedding. It had been months since the breakup with James, and you hadn't seen him since then. But still, you somehow ended up on the wedding invitation list, and the invitation felt like a slap in the face. You knew that it would be awkward to attend by yourself, but there was no chance to invite a friend, not with everything that had happened.
That was when Max came into the picture. You knew him for years, always running into each other at parties or through mutual friends. But Max was differentâhe was your best friend, a guy who stood by you when everything fell apart, and it just felt natural to look to him for assistance now.
Max initially thought you were joking. But then you gazed at him with your eyes begging for mercy and he surrendered.
He would play your "phony boyfriend" for the night, a perfect, suave escort who would add a sheen of glamour to the ugliness of the situation. You and he joked about it, and the run-up to the wedding in a few days made it seem a fleeting, harmless scheme. All in good fun.
But as he stood beside you now in a black tuxedo, Max started to think a bit differently.
The ceremony had started, and you stood beside him, your fingers discreetly entwined. The aroma of fresh flowers and designer cologne filled the air, and the warm sound of classical music filled the room. He was able to catch the way that your eyes cut to your former beau, James, who smiled from the altar like he was on top of the world. He locked gazes with yours for a second or two at best, and there was some silent understanding that you both recognized. You each understood what today meant.
Max couldn't help but notice the way you took up position there. Even though you'd asked him to be your date, there was a corner of his mind that could sense him that you still longed for James, even if you weren't aware of it. You forced a smile, stiff shoulders, and Max felt the betraying tingle in your hand.
Are you okay?" Max whispered, leaning in toward you as the ceremony went on.
You nodded but didn't really look at him. "I'm fine," you muttered, though the tension in your voice betrayed your true feelings. "Just. need to get through this.".
Max wished that he had more to say, but the music shifted, and your attention was momentarily diverted toward the doorway, where James's bride appeared. She was stunning in her pristine white wedding dress, every step she took beautiful and elegant. You gazed at her, but Max saw the way your eyes softened for a moment.
Do you want me to hit him?" Max teased, trying to lighten the mood, but there was a hint of seriousness in his voice.
You glared at him sharply, almost taken aback by what he said. "No, that's not⊠that's not what I need," you replied softly.
Max did want to press the issue, did want to dig deeper, but instead he remained silent. He didn't know why, but there was something in the expression you were wearing when you looked at James that irritated him more than it should have. He could tell that you were still hurting, and although you had said you were "over it," Max didn't think that was entirely true.
The ceremony continued, but it was hard for Max to focus. His thoughts kept drifting back to you. He was supposed to be here, pretending to be your supportive boyfriend, and everything was supposed to be simple. But the more time he spent with you amidst all this, the more he wished to do more than pretend.
The night crawled by, and Max was trying his best, addressing strangers as your boyfriend, making small talk with a couple of your old friends, and even throwing in a couple of make-believe kisses for good measure. It was evident though from the tension that existed between you and James, and Max caught wind of it. Every time your eyes met his, there was a flicker of somethingâsomething Max could not identify but which was quickening his pace.
Eventually, you found yourself standing in the doorway to the principal ballroom, beyond the clinking glass and sounds of the party. Max leaned back against the wall, his arms crossed across his chest, watching you pacing back and forth.
Hello, he whispered. "Say something to me. Do you need to be all right?"
You stopped pacing and turned to him. For an instant, you did not say a word, but just stared at him as if you were figuring something out.
"I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea," you said, your voice cracking slightly. "I'm glad for him, I am, but⊠I thought I was done with it. I thought I could just get on with my life, but it feels like I'm trapped in the past, like nothing's changed."
Max's heart twisted at the vulnerability in your voice. He had always thought of you as strong, someone who could ride out whatever life threw your way. Yet here you stood before him now, fragile, as if the weight of the past was too much to bear.
It's okay," he whispered to you, stepping in closer. "It's alright to feel this way. This is a lot to take in, and you can be confused, still hurting."
You laughed again, shaking your head. "I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I didn't want this to be hard. I didn't want to feel like. like I still cared.".
Max's hands wrapped around your shoulders, holding you gently. "You do still care. That's what makes everything so hard. But don't let him control your joy. You're not in the past. You're here, today. You've moved forward, even if it doesn't feel like it."
You breathed in, your eyes fluttering shut for a moment as you rested against him. The warmth of his body pressed against yours felt like an anchor, and for the moment, all was well once more.
"I don't want to be here anymore," you whispered.
Max hesitated for a moment before he answered. "Then let's leave."
You drew back slightly, your eyes opening wide as you gazed up at him. "What?"
"Come on. It's only a wedding. We don't have to hang around if it's upsetting you," Max said, his tone even. "You don't deserve this, and I don't want you stuck here if it's hurting you."
Part of you wanted to rebel, to tell him that this was about your closure, but another part of you wanted to believe that Max was giving you an escape. An escape from the past, from all the emotions you were still trying to process.
Before you could answer, he swept your hand into his, dragging you out of the ballroom, past the wedding guests, and into the cool night air. The decision was both insane and freeing, and you couldn't understand why you felt so at ease with him.
"Max, you don't have toâ" you began, but he cut you off.
"Shh. No more words. Just tonight, do this for me."
You stood stock still, not breathing as you looked at him. The realization of what was happening finally set in. This wasn't a pretend date anymore. This was real.
He was real.
For the first time that evening, you were aware that Max was not just your best friend. He was something else. He was someone who understood you in a way that no one else did, someone who had always been there, and you hadn't even realized how much he was important to you until now.
Max gave you a little reassuring smile, as if he had some idea what was going on in your head. He stepped closer to you, and for the first time that evening, you didn't feel like you were trapped under the shadow of your past.
You kissed him.
It wasn't dramatic or intense. It was soft, a tentative step toward something new, something you never thought you'd find again. But in that moment, you knew. You knew that Max was no longer your date. He was your future.

Thanos and Nam-Gyu as Cats Part 4
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3
Sorry this took so long! It's finals week for me so I've been focusing on school.
This may or may not be the last part of this series. Thanos and Nam-gyu taking care of cat reader and Gyeong-su fic are currently in the works! Sorry for making you guys wait but it's coming!
I got one of the ideas from someone who commented on one of the parts, lol I thought it would be fun
âââ  ïœĄïŸâ: *.✠.* :âïŸ. âââ
Zoomies were chaotic, I mean they always are but when it comes to Thanos, it's cranked up to 1000%
He's running all over the apartment, and he will make a mess everywhere
He climbs the walls
He gets zoomies mostly at night when you're asleep, and it'll probably wake you up
7/10 times he knocks something over
8/10 times he runs over the other cats
10/10 times he runs over you
Once he's done, he'll snuggle up to you in bed acting as if nothing happened
Thankfully, all the other cats aren't as bad
Nam-gyu will run around, sometimes Thanos' zoomies triggers his so they're both running around in the middle of the night
If they're both doing it, lock them out of the bedroom. Otherwise, you'll never sleep
Usually gets them early in the morning, around the time you wake up. He does that thing where he'll stare at you and then run off, run back, stare, and run off again
He's usually preoccupied with his box so he won't really make a mess unless it's with Thanos
He has chased Se-mi around before
Gyeong-su and Se-mi are at the same level. They aren't as chaotic and messy as Thanos and Nam-gyu, but they definitely make a lot of noise running around
Gyeong-su chooses to run under things like tables, chairs, the couch, whatever he can fit under, occasionally knocks things over because he moved the table while scurrying under it
He will attack your feet
Se-mi prefers the counters. She'll hop from one place to the next, occasionally knocking something over
If she gets spooked, she's knocking everything over trying to get away (Nam-gyu most likely scared her on purpose)
Min-su is probably the chillest out of all of them. Due to him being a munchkin cat, he's small and short. He doesn't do a lot of damage to the apartment
However, you do have to watch out for him. He's small and he moves fast and will run across your path out of nowhere
Look where you're going so you don't step on him
If all of them get zoomies at the same time?
Yeah no, that's their apartment now. You're never getting it back, it's going to be destroyed
When it comes to affection, this is the list: Thanos, Min-su, Se-mi, Gyeong-su, and Nam-gyu
Thanos is definitely the most affectionate cat that's ever existed. Your space is his space. It's pretty rare to find him alone. If he's not with you, he's probably with Nam-gyu
He purrs very loud
If you give him any type of attention he'll start purring. He'll also squeeze in wherever you are for cuddles
Sometimes it does get a bit too much and you have to tell him to stop, but that never works
Min-su likes attention, but if you give him too much, he gets overwhelmed and will leave
He likes to sit by you whenever you're doing something to keep you company. He understands personal space unlike Thanos
It depends on Se-mi's mood if she's going to like the attention. A lot of times she's fine with pets, but not so much with cuddles. She'll allow it for a bit but will eventually squeeze out and go somewhere else
Like Min-su, she'll keep you company from a small distance
Gyeong-su isn't that affectionate. He'll ask for pets here and there, but isn't crazy about it, but he also doesn't hate it
He usually finds joy in following Thanos around anyway
Nam-gyu doesnât like being touched. He tolerates it from you and Thanos but anyone else heâs hissing and swatting at them
If he feels like it, heâll come to you for pets and cuddles. If he doesnât find you himself, he just wants to be alone
Sometimes his affection is just headbutting your leg and walking away
Now, if you were to bring home a partner, whether itâs a long term relationship, or situationship, one night stand, whatever, all the cats will have a reaction to it
Thanos and Nam-gyu are the worst when it comes to this because how dare you give someone else so much affection
You know that side eye Nam-gyu does in the show? Yeah heâs doing that in cat form
They both refused to be pet by the person. They donât care what they are to you, they will bite them
Itâs actually concerning to see Thanos like that since he usually loves the attention
They will try to break up any type of interaction. Holding hands? Sorry, you have to pet Thanos right now
Hugging? Oh, thatâs crazy, suddenly they want cuddles and will squeeze in between you two
Sex? Yeah forget it, theyâre screaming and scratching at the door
The second your partner leaves, theyâre back to normal. Theyâll act like nothing happened and they didnât try to drive the person away
The others are more chill about it
Gyeong-su doesnât really care. Heâs just following Thanos and does whatever he does. You technically have three cats fighting for you
Se-mi also doesnât care. She will watch from a distance and if they seem like a good person, sheâll like them
However, if she thinks theyâre not good for you, sheâll also try to drive them away
Thankfully, she doesnât drive everyone away, she actually takes the time to get to know them a bit before deciding
Min-su is already timid. Adding a new person to the place kind of scares him. Heâs like Se-mi where he wants the best person for you but if he thinks theyâre not good, he wonât do anything, he leaves that up to Se-mi
Overall, they don't mean any harm. They just really like and appreciate you
Except for Thanos and Nam-gyu, they meant all the harm
âââ  ïœĄïŸâ: *.✠.* :âïŸ. âââ

hello tumblr i have finished reading s.hoot your s.hot and so this is a post about all my thoughts about it for @moregraceful and also anyone else who is interested i suppose!
first off let me say that i have nothing against l.exi b.rown, i am neutral-to-positive toward her as a person/public figure in the hockey world. like, i do think that sometimes she lets the line between space for fans/space for the hockey enterprise we are fans of get a little uncomfortably blurred, and sometimes she loses sight her own privilege a little bit, and sometimes she's a little bit cringe, but whomst among us isn't a little bit cringe? being a little bit cringe is an essential part of the human experience. but overall i think it's good to have a loud voice in a place of privilege within the hockey community who is willing to adamantly say trans rights and black lives matter and homophobia is dumb and bad, you know? i feel the need to say this because i AM going to be a little mean about this book but i have seen reactions to it here on the world wide web that feel like the people behind them are just getting off on the chance to be mean to a woman who is popular on the internet.
anyway becky just review the book.
SHORT VERSION: when i first posted that i was reading this, a very nice anon messaged to be like, i read it and while i thought it wasn't great on a craft level, i thought she delivered on the things she said she would deliver on â accuracy in the hockey parts, queer rep, and poc rep. and i agree, and i think those are worthwhile things! on a craft level the book was pretty clunky and in some specific ways Not For Me, but on a story level it was fine, and in other ways it was good actually. it was far from the worst hockey romance i have ever read and not worse than other clunkily written romance novels i've read and judged but that other people seem to love. anyone acting like it's the worst book ever written needs to take a breath. it was fine! there are some things i liked about it! the sex scenes were really bad though!
TL;DR VERSION:
so i went into this book with low expectations, largely because in the leadup to it lexi did not really make herself out to be a person who, like, particularly enjoys or respects romance as a genre. the built her audience in the hockey romance world by poking fun at other hockey romances and making fun of "sexy" hockey tropes and while i didn't necessarily disagree with her takes on those things (i felt very vindicated that she disliked my beloathed HIM, for example) i think that being a normal nobody who is critical of those things online is different from being a person with a pretty big platform who does it and then turns around and says, and now i'm going to write a book in this genre that does things RIGHT! while at the same time talking about how the books you actually enjoy reading are like, edgy literary fiction or whatever. (not derogatory; i also love edgy literary fiction)
so in addition to that setting my own expectations low i think that right off the bat it set her up for some unsympathetic responses â by selling herself as the person who could "fix" hockey romance, she possibly drew in people who wouldn't read hockey romance otherwise, or who have tried it and didn't like it, which could be a good thing if the book is like, genre-trancendingly good, but when it inevitably is not, all those people just wind up reading a mid hockey romance set against way too high expectations. also some people just REALLY like an excuse to mock women on the internet/romance as a genre.
(which isn't to say everyone has been a hater about it; it seems like her book launch events have gone great and plenty of people have genuinely enjoyed the book, so, good! i'm glad people are having fun!)
so, i am going to list the good parts and the bad parts, in my opinion.
BAD PARTS:
alternating first person present tense povs. my actual least favorite tense+pov combination in all of literature. i know some people like it but it is actively a turn-off for me.
needed an aggressive line-edit so bad. on a sentence level the prose was clunky in a lot of places. too many words. girlie needed to ctrl+f certain abverbs so badly, and then delete delete delete.
the pacing was not horrible but not great at times, especially with time jumps between chapters that were sometimes a little confusing. honestly a lot of my gripes about the craft stuff in this book are big baby's first novel problems, and romance novels are notoriously poorly edited, so.
the show/tell ratio was wayyyyy off. girl stop telling us stuff and show us instead. related gripe so it goes in this bullet point as well, you can tell when an author doesn't trust their readers to make connections or come to conclusions themselves so they feel like they have to spell out every little think they want you to think and i find that very tiring.
oh lord the sex scenes. lexi said at some point that she's uncomfortable writing them (but felt like she had to include them due to genre expectations) and you can really tell. the prose was at its clunkiest in these scenes and it seemed like she was trying to get through them as quickly as possible. imo the book would have been just fine, possibly better, without them. also girl no one forced you to write in this genre.
i said to jess and maggie early on in reading this book that it has a kind of wattpad self-insert fanfiction vibe and now having finished it i do think that on a story level it's a step up from wattpadesque, it cannot escape the self-insert fanfic vibe of a bisexual woman married to a black hockey man writing a book about a bisexual woman and a black hockey man who seem to have personalities fairly close to the real people. this may have been helped if she didn't name the characters LUCY AND JJ but who knows. this made reading it a little weird sometimes! there were points in reading where i wondered if she would have been better off from a craft/genre-appreciation level writing a straight up memoir or like, purposely thinly veiled literary autofiction, but of course those things don't have the market power of hockey romance. idk. despite this i also liked the diversity, so, big shrugs from me here.
this book is billed specifically as a ROM-COM and not a ROMANCE, which to me feels like lexi trying to distance herself a little from traditional romance, because she's not a big fan of traditional romance, which gets a huge sigh from me. also while there are some genuinely funny moments, a lot of it reads like the scenes of a movie being described, which is a pet peeve of mine. it is REALLY hard to write a funny story; i think that romcoms thrive on screen because they benefit from physical comedy, chemistry, and timing in a way that's really really difficult to capture in writing.
some people don't mind a lot of pop culture references in their contemporary fiction but unfortunately i am a person who often finds them pretty awkward and therefore the fact that many characters' personalities hinge on the pop culture references they make and the brands they use was tiring to me. relatedly, while i mostly didn't have gripes about factual accuracy in this book, at one point lucy mentions that they're been dating for a month and gotten halfway through watching naruto and i'm like girl do know know how many episodes of naruto there are. how did they have time to fuck
my one big accuracy gripe is that at a certain point lucy (an artist) starts selling her art online to make ends meet and is super successful at it, with no explanation of how this happened. selling art online is really hard! is she working social media hard to bring in customers? did she somehow tap into an existing market for her style of art? we just don't know!
GOOD PARTS:
the hockey details did indeed feel very accurate! it is worth acknowleding imo that she has a certain privilege in this area â she can literally just ask her nhler husband how things work if she doesn't already know from her years around the league â but the accuracy level in other hockey romances i've read have been so abysmally low that simply being accurate to the basics of how nhl/north american hockey works was pretty refreshing.
even though the writing was clunky, some of my favorite parts were when lucy was hanging out with her queer friends and the work that did to keep this book from feeling aggressively heterosexual in a weird patriarchal gender roles way that so many hockey romances do. and not even just het hockey romances. HIM (beloathed) was so wildly misogynistic it boggled my mind. it was nice to read a hockey romance that didn't feel like it hates women!
(please imagine every bullet point on this list beginning with, "even though the writing was clunkyâ")
similarly it was nice that jaylen felt like a real person with real problems and not a weird hockey man archetype of masculinity. i liked that the text acknowledged how his blackness affected his hockey experience. i enjoyed how he was written as a straight man who is genuinely cool with queer people. one of my favorite scenes was when lucy's friend clocks how much he likes her because he quietly gave a huge donation to the seattle pride fundraiser she'd dragged him to. i too would love for an attractive man to express his feelings for me by donating a ton of money to my gay friends!
both lucy and jaylen had genuinely strong character arcs that made sense for real people in their circumstances in the real world, but i especially liked jaylen's in how it was built out of real issues within the hockey world â the extreme pressure players (especially black players and high draft picks) are under to perform and put hockey before everything, the way that can fuck with your head, etc. once again just refreshing to have realistic hockey details!
not every character or relationship beat hit for me, but there were some genuinely cute and funny ones, especially later in the book. i thought one of the things lexi did a good job showing more than telling was the growing level of comfort/intimacy that lucy and jaylen had with each other, and while the third-act breakup did not come as a surprise, it did feel like a realistic problem for them to run into, as opposed to a contrived miscommunication like so many romance novels seem to like to have.
overall i'm like, yeah, it was fine! it wasn't awful, it wasn't great, i wish the writing had been better and there were parts i thought were especially poorly written but also parts i genuinely liked or appreciated! mainly my feelings here are that people are going to keep writing mid to bad hockey romances and i would rather those books have people of color in them, and queer people in them, and know how hockey works, and have a genuine love for the game and the community around it than not have those things, so i'm not mad at this book for existing even if i have some issues with it. obviously lexi has a big, built-in platform and access to the nhl that other authors don't have and hopefully she'll use that for good to inspire and support more diversity in hockey romance!

So this thing is amazing, and I love the whole premise of it. However, my own focus in the fandom is very much on The Lord of the Rings books more than anything else, which leaves me in something of a pickle when I spin the wheel and get a movie-centric character whom I really don't know, and also has me lamenting the lack of chances to land on any pairs including my book-only blorbos.
So, with permission from @frodosrings, I have made an alternate version of the wheel that focuses primarily on the characters of The Lord of the Rings books. Check it out below!
Third & Fourth Age LotR Book-verse Randomized Character Pair Wheel
These are pairs mostly focused on people who were living and dying at the end of the Third Age/beginning of the Fourth Age... with a few folks from the Silmarillion sprinkled in for DramaTM and Fun TimesTM (and because several of said characters are likely to be alive again in Valinor eventually, where they'll be able to meet those of our heroes who get to/have to Sail).
There are more than 500 different character pairings available, so spin away and see what you get!
For the non-Third-Age-centric additions, I picked Silm-characters whom I thought would create interesting narratives/emotional journeys for our LotR heroes, because the focus of this wheel is on themâbut I thought it was more fun if we got people like CelebrĂan and Celebrimbor and so-on to play with, too!
(There are also a few Silm-Silm character pairs, whom I admittedly was mostly thinking about in a Fourth Age/re-embodiment situation, but you certainly don't have to write them that way!)
As in the original list, not all of these randomized pairs feature characters who have an easy way to interact in canonâbut who says you have to write strictly canon-verse? Go wild and make yourself an AU if you want! Or have somebody stray into a dream, or a liminal space where time folds in on itself, or maybe they meet in the Halls of Mandos, or drift off into a song that may or may not be really happening, or reflect on someone they know from history books/poems/songs, etc etc...
No limits, no holds barred. Take it seriously, make it crack, whatever suits! Write it, draw it, cross-stitch it if you want! This is all about stretching your creative muscles, so don't let me get in your way.
Your Quest, should you choose to accept it:
Write (or draw, etc) something the features the pair of characters you get when you spin the wheel. This can be anything, from a one-shot drabble to a 10k multi-chapter epic, a bullet-list of headcanons, an "incorrect quotes" post, a doodle, a painting...anything! Just make sure you're primarily highlighting the pair you spun, in whatever way you choose to do that.
Use the hashtag #tolkienrandompairs so that everybody can keep track of and enjoy seeing everything! If you prefer to post on AO3, please tag there as well, so we can all find your stuff.
nsfw fics/etc are allowed, but please mark those clearly to make this a safe event for everyone to participate in (and avoid awkward moments on public transport/work/etc!).
If your piece includes commonly-triggering material, again please tag or otherwise indicate that. (Do not c*nsor your trigger warnings and tags! That defeats the purpose of tagging in the first place, and prevents things like block-lists and filters from functioning!)
While you don't have to treat these pairs as ships, you certainly can; but let's have NO ship-wars or kink-shaming, etc! "Don't like, don't read" shall be the law of the land, and everyone shall live happily-ever-after whether on this side of the Sundering Sea or the other, thank you.
If you like something you read or see, please comment and tell the writer/artist/etc! Fandom should be a community, but if we don't communicate with each other, we're all just screaming alone in the dark. (Nobody wants to be Gollum! Please talk to your fellow fans so they know they aren't alone!)
There is no limit to how many times you can spin the wheel, and no cut-off-point for the event: keep spinning, and writing, and posting, and tagging, for as long as you wish!
Any questions about anything (or suggestions for other characters/pairs to add to the wheel), please don't be shy! You can reach out to @frodosrings as well, and many thanks to them for both coming up with this brilliant idea, and for being so willing to let me stick my fingers into the pie as well.
Now get spinning, and have fun!

Love Thy Enemy

Summary; Y/N Atreides had always been a stranger to the entire galaxy, her bed wasnât her bed, her home wasnât her home due to the fact that she was sent to accompany and be sisters with Irulan. She had limited access to her actual family and over the years they grew distant. She thought she would be like Reverend Mother, alone, yet powerful, and soon she would realize that there was no need of being alone when a wild creature had his eyes on her for a long time.
A/N: Hello little doves! Here with another chapter. I am having fun writing this! Thank you so much for supporting me and liking, leaving commnets. Means alot. Love u all.
Warnings: Slight mention of SA. Our babies yearning for each other especially Feyd!
Words: 2.081K
TAG LIST IS OPEN! (Let me know if i forgot to tag your or if you changed your username pls)
Chapter Twelve
Y/N woke up with a strange scent hitting her brain through her nostrils, the scent was strong, she opened her eyes but didnât move because she didnât know where she was and if they noticed that she was awake they might do something to her. She was on the ground, laid on a thin orange rug, it was made of spice fibers, that was the cause of the smell. She was in Arrakis and the entire planet filled with spice, and it had a strong scent. Someone must have changed her clothes because she was wearing a long dress, the color beige, it was baggy and comfortable. The inside was lit by the dim glowglobes, the color dark yellow, she noticed the coolness of the inside, she was in a Sietch.
ââMorning Sayyadina.ââ A womanâs voice was heard, without looking Y/N already deduced that it was the same woman who captured her. Thanks to her Bene Gesserit tricks she might walk out alive because the sisterhood had spread their prophecies and religious believes throughout the entire planet.
Y/N slowly moved her body to sat, the ground under her was carved and rough, this Sietch must be thousands of years old and still changing its shape every year, maybe another thousand years it will disappear.
The woman was standing by the open space, the room didnât have a door just a hole that was covered with a thin sheet of spice curtain, clearly handmade. She entered the room and sat opposite of Y/N. ââIf I had known you were with child I wouldnât have hit you so hard.ââ She was sincere, looking at Y/N with dark blue eyes, due to spice consumption the Fremensâ eyes turn to blue. How did they know that she was pregnant? Maybe their Reverend Mother dressed her and found out. Her hand went to her head, a piece of dry blood rubbed itself on her fingers, it hurt but she didnât make a sound, she couldnât show any weaknesses.                                                                                                     ââHere.ââ The woman came with a tray of cold water and piece of bread, Y/N came up with a conclusion that if they wanted her dead she would be dead already so she took the tray and drank the water, it tasted strange but she knew it wasnât poisoned. ââThank you.ââ She said, keeping her voice calm and neutral. Y/N looked at the woman, she was one of the warriors and she had some designs on her suit that distinguished her from other warriors, her rank must be high. ââWhy do you call me Sayyadina?ââ she asked, curious. The woman stood up, ââBecause you are a witch, but you havenât completed your journey yet. Finish your bread and come with me.ââ
It dawned on her, her mind immediately went to a book she had read before coming here, there was a section about Reverend Mothers of Arrakis that said; Sayyadina- Among the Fremen the Syyadina, (Friend of God in Chakobsa) is a priestess who has not yet passed within to become a Reverend Mother. When a Sayyadina undergoes the spice agony, another is then consecrated into the Sayyadina to continue the line of succession.
Did they want her to be the new Reverend Mother? For the Sisterhood, especially Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam it would be a great victory, having Y/N as Helenâs little spy and shaping the future in Arrakis. However, her main reason to be here was to be with her husband, Feyd-Rautha. She was aware of the obvious fact that Fremens hated Harkonnens and if they found out that Y/N was married to one and carrying his child⊠she didnât want to think of that. She had to get out of here but she knew that alone in the desert, she didnât stand a chance.
Y/N got up as she finished her bread and left the small room, she didnât have any footwear but the coldness of the ground calmed her senses. Outside of the room she was kept, there was a larger space, there were holes on the walls for Fremensâ rooms to sleep, it must have been daylight because they were all inside and working. Some were training, some were sewing the warrior clothes that were damaged. They all looked at her up and down, their blue eyes screamed ââStranger!ââ
They were a society where their eyes talked more than their mouths. The entire Sietch was lit by glowglobs, there were few holes on the tops so sunlight coming through but thanks to the design the inside was perfectly colder than the hell outside. ââDuring the day we donât go out, not just because of the heat, we donât want to be seen by the enemy.ââ The woman was explaining as she walked and Y/N was following her like a toddler. She immediately knew who the enemy was, her husband and his family. ââAt night we go out, we hunt, we attack.ââ She stopped and turned to her, ââIâll teach you how to sandwalk.ââ
Y/N watched some videos on it, in order to be safe and not being detected by the giant worms one must learn how to sandwalk, it was like a dance, a dance to Shai-Hulud one might argue. ââWe learn when weâre only a child.ââ She continued explaining few stuff about her culture and the way of life here. ââI am taking you to our Naib. Stilgar.ââ Naib ment ââleader of sietchââ she had to be cunning and manipulative as her sisters. Y/Nâs hand went to her stomach and she started to pray silently; Fear is the little-death that brings total obliterationâŠ
Feyd-Rautha Harkonenn unlike his older brother Glossu ââBeastââ Rabban he hadalready figured it out that the best time to explore and attack was at night. During the day the desert was a killing machine, because of Rabban they had lost so many useful men. During the day Feyd and his men had made plans on the map of the desert, his first plan was to go to the abandoned cargo ship and deduce himself, maybe he could see something that his men couldnât and try to find the nearby Sietches, the problem was that these Sietches were hidden so carefully that one couldnât see but had to know the secret ways to enter. The ones they had found were empty and the rumors had reached his ears, all of the Fremen tribes were getting together to attack him. He had to stop them before it happened and also he had to find his wife. His priorities were shifting and the hologram message he got from his uncle earlier today wasnât to his liking. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen was furious, he was demanding Y/Nâs head. Of course he didnât say to Feyd that she was pregnant, if Feyd knew he wouldnât touch her but Baron wanted her dead. He figured they could find another highborn wench for his dear nephew and they could have as many male offspring as they wished. His words ringing in Feydâs ears; ââShe put our family name in disgrace. If you donât take care of her your brother will.ââ
Feydâs blood boiled as soon as he heard that sentence, his throat went dry. He remembered the night of Rabbanâs disrespect towards her, Feyd knew what kind of a monster his brother was. Rabban was going to rape her first and then torture her and then kill her. Feyd punched the bathroom mirror, he would burn his entire household to the ground before he let that happen. He looked at his reflection through the broken glass, distorted just like him, she was the opposite of him. She was kind, gentle and he would kill every man on this galaxy to see her and hold her in his strong arms one last time.
As the night came with shiny starts with the moons visible on the night sky, Feyd and his soldiers mounted the ships and left the palace. Their first stop was the cargo ship which was raided by the Fremen and left to rot. ââNa- Baron, we have searched the entire ship and only found Lady Na-Baronessâ headscarf as you know. There is nothing here.ââ His old advisor said in a neutral tone, standing behind Feyd who had entered the ship through broken metal lids, as soon as he entered his strong animalistic senses could pick up her pheromones, just like he did with the headscarf his men brought to him but he noticed something strange. Her pheromones were more sweeter than usual, more lively.. Â He wondered why he was picking that scent but didnât dwell on it. The ship was just an empty metal box, the Fremen had taken every cable every electrical device they could.
Their next stop nearby rocks and mountains, the search continued till the first light, Feyd was growing restless, he was determined to bring her back but the first day of rescue failed miserably and his rage had met three of his servants, he put their heads on spikes for everyone to see, he announced before he entered the through the palaceâs gigantic stone doors, ââThe person who finds Lady Na-Baroness will earn enough spice to make him the emperor of this galaxy!ââ he yelled to his army who were standing immobile in the sand garden of the palace, there were only few palm trees and just orange sand. His arm saluted in the Harkonen way and screamed his name;
ââFeyd-Rautha!ââ
ââFeyd-Rautha!ââ
ââFeyd-Rautha!ââ
It had been few weeks since she arrived, the woman who captured her became her friend, Sama was a fierce warrior and also a caring person. She was giving Y/N extra food since she was pregnant. Sama had told her that the reason why she wasnât was because that Stilgar knew she would be helpful and he was right, Y/N was healing the warriors, helping the old Reverend Mother, making healing potions and teaching it to the young Sayyadinas. She had quickly figured it out that there were no such thing as useless Fremen, the useless ones were killed, they grew up in this hard conditions and trained themselves to be selfless and be at service all the time. When she was free she was wandering in this enormous Sietch and try to eavesdrop. She was quick to learn a new language so she started to understand their daily conversations and yesterday her heart filled with hope because she heard Sama and Stilgar talking about the ââHarkonnensââ
Stilgar had said ââThat boy is looking for someone, do you think it is a coincidence that we found her in the middle of the desert? Wake up Sama!ââ Stilgar had put the pieces together but apparently Sama was in denial, maybe she didnât want to believe that her new friend was a Harkonnenâs wifeâŠ
Every night she was praying to meet him again, see him and melt into his arms. Y/N felt the ring on her finger, it was the wedding ring Feyd had given her, it belonged to her mother.. she had so many questions. Did he really killed his own mother? If he did then what was she suppose to do? She knew that nothing will be answered till she sees him in flesh and blood.
ââSayyadina?!ââ someone called her name, she turned to face the owner of the voice, ââReverend Mother has asked your presence in her private chambers.ââ She bowed her head and followed the man, Fremen men were mostly dark skinned and dark haired, they were very muscular and always alert. The curtain was drawn, she cleared her throat and entered, the dim lights gave the room a mysterious look, there were books at every corner, potions and religious artifacts. ââReverend Mother.ââ She bowed, the old woman was sitting on the ground, her entire body covered, only her face could be seen, she motioned with her hand for Y/N to come closer and she did, she sat in front of the old woman.
She was in spice trance, it was evident in her blown eyes and the smell of the spice, she held Y/Nâs hand, the grip tenacious. ââI see you, all the time..ââ she began, her voice hoarse, ââhe is looking for his wife⊠a treachery on his part.ââ
Y/N was aware of the fact that too much spice consumption gave one prophecies, ââSoon, soon..ââ the old woman started to scream, ââSoon! Soon!ââ other Sayaddinas marched in and helped Y/N, the old womanâs grip left a red mark on her wrist.

25 Asks! Thanks y'all :}}đŠ
I haven't gone into detail about what I've been battling for anonymity reasons, but there's not much to be said anyways.
Its basically "You don't have anything on this huge list so we're feeling like its probably this. Here's some stuff for you to do and see if it works."
So far I have not been cured. đ
After reading through these, Cybertron and Beastwars peaked my interest :00 But I just don't think I could stomach the others. Especially not animated đ
Thank you very much for these reviews tho! It was greatly appreciated!! :))
@mothpendragon
SCREMASS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDDDD
And YEAHHHH LES GOO!!! Another Ratchet fan! :DDD I love Ratchet he's so grumpy and so full of love and care but he wont admit thatđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ą
@misscherrypie
(Spanish to English translation: I'd like another 45 tangerines)
XDD Yup! That's me for sure. I've wolfed down like 4 bags in the last few weeks! XDD đđ
(Referencing this post)
Thank you so much!!! :DDD And I do kind'a wish we saw more of a reaction from Optimus when he saw for himself that Raf was ok at least..
When Ratchet called to Optimus during his battle "Optimus.. we did it." (Referencing that they cured Raf) it didn't look like Optimus heard him.. which made me think that Optimus was going to be noticeably more tense/angry/panicked once he got his memory back. Because as far as he knew Raf was still dying, and that caused him to freak out earlier sooo...
I expected him to look distressed until he walked into the base and saw Raf and realized that he had been cured. Oh well đ I can say tho that Optimus immediately addressing Raf by name to make it clear he remembers him was a sweet touch đâ€ïž
@gas-station-chip-dip
AAAAAAA THANK YOU!! :DD THAT MEAN A LOT!! :}}}đđđ
@1nksp1ll
:DDD THANK YOU!! :}}}}
@badlyblurry (Image is from this post)
HDJHBHBF THANKYIUUUU XDDD IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE HOW I DRAW HIM!!! :}}}}}}
@minnesotamedic186
I just made it up! :0
(Referencing this post)
Ooooo that's a good question. And I kiiind'a think I have an idea for it..?
I imagine that synthetic energon- (when fully completed and when not) is a green/turquoise color. I pictured that the process of making it artificially is what makes it off color. So what if any fluids that their body makes with synthetic energon is ALSO off color? Maybe instead of red tears they would be orange? Or yellow? Probably orange..
Now with dark energon.. I kind of imagined that all the fluids in a transformers body are replaced with dark energon due to its mythical/endlessly powerful nature. Instead of crying lubricant, Megatron just leaks dark energon.. đ
ALSO SEHFSHEF THANUYOUU XDD
Ah sorry, but I have privated my TFP OC ref sheets. đ„
@imafrealinrainbow478484
Not doing so great today, hoping I feel better tomorrow đ Thank you tho! <:) I hope you're feeling better than I am! <XDD
@kaiserdarken
There would be chaos đ
@artistiemi
HAPPY (late) MARIO DAY!! :DDD
What does this mean đđ
@neo-metalscottic
AAAA THANYUU SO MUCH!!! đđđđđ
Now for the vehicons.. are they not actually clones? I always assumed they were.. If the canon suggests they aren't clones there's a loooot of rethinking I need to do đ
(Link in ask)
I thought Tailgate was a bit chaotic I didn't know he was straight up unhinged-
(Takes notes for my tfp Tailgateđ)
(Link in ask)
Breakdown is/was a nurse? Is this canon.? I don't remember that.. I always thought he was just a generic soldier meant to counter the wrecker class :0
Its easy for me to draw through all the sickness and aching, because its my favorite thing to do and cheers me up a lot! :)
@candyglumboy
I've always kind'a liked Sonic. But I'm not sure how I'd dive into making comics for it.. There seems to be a lot of lore I need to catch up on.. đ
Also I watched the 1st sonic movie and thought it was alright. I've played some odd sonic games here and there too! :)
@doodleclownbunny
AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD
And ooooo! :000 That's a fun Wally design! :)))
YES SIR MR.ANON SIRđ«Ąđ«Ą
@beryl-shade
Well... yes, I suppose it has! đ
I will keep my eyes peeled for this đïžđïž

Okay I have thoughts :)
It hassss to be marylily! They do everything properly, they focus, and they practiced beforehand. They're very calculated and can practically read each other's minds so the pacing is perfect. They don't try to sprint and it turns out pretty well for them! They'd be very humble winners too (except for the way Lily would taunt Sirius)
Second place would probably be Evanreg for similar reasons. They work well as a team, but Evan has just a little less heart in it.
Prongsfoot would trip each other up and find it hilarious, probably not getting past halfway. Everyone expected them to win because they're good athletes but their dumbassery shines through and screws them over
Rosekiller would try but Barty would get distracted by an interesting bird flying past and stop to list off fun facts about it, making Evan fall, resulting in them both falling in a pile on the ground and wasting 30 seconds trying to get back in their feet
Jegulus do pretty well but at certain points regulus is trying to move at a quicker pace than James and they end up having to stop to recalibrate. They end the race very grumpy with each other but did pretty well
Wolfstar wouldn't get far because Sirius would be giving it his all and Remus would be trying to keep up but slowly losing patience and energy. They trip up a few times becuase Remus can't keep up with the pace he wants to run at, and it sets them way back until they give up and Remus separates their legs, sitting it out. Sirius runs the rest alone and wins but it disqualified bc it's just him alone
Dorlene do pretty well overall but Dorcas forces Marlene to slow down so they can heighten their chances of keeping balance and it sets them back a little. Marlene forgets occasionally and they stumble a little before getting back on track. They probably get top 3 though because they're consistent and work well as a team
Bartylus are AWFUL. Reg is getting mad, barty is laughing at him bc he looks like an angry kitten. Reg is trying to move as quickly as possible but barty can't be bothered, he's faffing around on purpose to be funny. Barty is probably repeating 'it's just a game regs' and it's driving him mad
Pandalily aren't great. Neither of them are too bothered but any passion Lily has for it is damaged by Pandora's lack of interest. She's not rude about it but she thinks that there are better ways to demonstrate teamwork so she insists that they both slowly walk it instead of run it in protest. Lily agrees because she doesn't have it in her to say no.
Moonwater are meh. Remus really tries because he knows regulus wants to win but he can't keep up. Halfway through they stop and he's apologising but reg says it's okay and they walk the rest of it with Reg's arm around Remus to hold him up. Remus wasn't expecting him to be so kind but reg is a sportsman, he's been on a team since 2nd year, of course he'll help his teammate if he has to.
This team wasn't in the post but as a bonus: Sirius and Peter would do very well. Peter is strategic and Sirius is determined and they spend a few hours planning out what they need to do, they motivate each other a lot and do pretty well but probably only get 4th place because James would try to sabotage them for 'abandoning' him
Bonus points if you reblog telling me your thought process bc I think the whole concept is funny
