i know now itâll pass - ch. 2
Note: slight allusion of SA all i do is think about the past
You did consider calling out sick, but itâs Friday and you can just stare at your screen for eight hours and then sleep for two straight days.
Youâre making the trek from your car to the office and youâre absolutely positive you look like hell. Sure, your hair and makeup is done, but thereâs no masking the exhaustion in your bones. You drag yourself through the door and past everyone else headed to their various workstations, including Roy and a confused Jamie.
âOi, porch girl, whatâre you doing here?â Jamie asks. Roy smacks him on the back of the head.
âShe fucking works here, you twat.â
You donât point out that youâve literally run into him twice, and maybe count it a blessing that he doesnât remember you. Instead, you nod wearily and head to your desk.
Itâs a fairly easygoing day, and you decide to take a late lunch. Youâre halfway through your meal, absorbed in chewing each bite thoroughly and not falling asleep, when you hear someone call your name from the doorway. You look up to see Jamie standing and fiddling with his shirt.
âDo you even talk?â he asks, no preamble.Â
âWhat?â you say, confused. You realize you actually havenât said much to him in any of your interactions other than âsorry.â
âOh,â you reply, âyeah, I do. Iâm just tired, is all. Neurons arenât firing at full capacity and all that.â
Jamie nods. âJust wanted make sure you were all right. Got your name from one of the blokes across the hall, cuz we canât keep calling you âporch girl.â Anyway, are you?â
You half-laugh. âYeah, canât you tell? Iâm obviously doing great.â
Jamieâs face morphs from concern to slight offence.
âOh god, Iâm sorry,â you hasten to continue. âI havenât slept well all week, and itâs made me snippy. I wasnât- itâs not about you. I just canât quite think straight.â
Jamie nods again. âRight,â he says, âdonât think thatâs healthy. Coach is always on me for rest days. Maybe you need one too.â
You shrug. âI mean, that probably works for you because youâre on a footballerâs salary. I donât really have time for personal days aside from the weekend. Thereâs stuff to be done and bills to pay, soâŚâ you trail off as you realize youâve spoken unfiltered again.
âAnyway,â you say, fake smile plastered on your face, âthanks for checking in. See you around.â
Jamie takes his cue and leaves.
â
Why did you think youâd be able to sleep better on the weekend? You donât know. Girlsâ night is officially a no-go, so youâre trying to wear yourself out with some yoga. Sometimes physical exertion helps, but you can barely think straight enough to get in the correct positions. Youâre going to cry again, and probably have to call your doctor because this canât be normal. You just wish your brain would shut up long enough for you to rest.Â
You drag yourself out of bed and to the kitchen for a cup of tea. At least youâll get to see a gorgeous sunrise.
â
Youâre not positive when you fell asleep, but you did. You had a dream of someoneâs strong arms around you carrying you from the steps to your bed. The dream lingers as you slowly blink your eyes open and realize that you actually are in your bed.
How did you get here? You know for an absolute fact that you are not a sleepwalker, nor did you wake up in between passing out in your front yard and now. You didnât get yourself here, so who did?
The flat is quiet, and light is peeking in through the curtains. You check your phone to see if maybe one of your friends had helped you inside, but thereâs no text letting you know. You frown. Maybe youâre just going insane.
You roll out of bed and grab your robe, then stop in front of your door. Thereâs a sticky note right at eye-level that says, donât freak out, Iâm in your kitchen. - Jamie (from work)
Oh shit.
You frantically run your fingers through your hair then fly down the stairs to find Jamie on his back on your couch, scrolling through his phone.
He looks up and says, âWotcher,â completely unfazed. He swings his legs onto the floor and sits up.
âLet me explain,â he says as you gape at him. âI was on a run without Roy, and saw you asleep on your steps. Figured youâd want to be left alone after last time. But then I came by later on me way back and saw your door was cracked open. So I helped you upstairs and then stayed here with the door locked so no fuckinâ creeps would come in. You really should lock your door,â he continues, âNever know what sort are lurking âround.â
Youâre still staring at him, uncomprehending. Jamie frowns. âShit, didnât mean to overstep. Just- you didnât look so good and I thought itâd be better for you to sleep. And weâre not like, fucking strangers are we? Shit, Iâm sorry.â
That snaps you out of it. âNo!â you reply. âNo, weâre not strangers. And it wasnât⌠weird. It wasnât weird. Itâs just nice, which is why I was having trouble responding. I mean sure, this is the longest weâve ever talked without me tripping over air, but youâre not- I mean, I donât feel unsafe around you. Youâre not that type of person.â
Jamieâs phone is away and his hands are tangled in his shirt. You wonder if itâs a nervous response.
âIâll get out of your hair,â he says after a pause. âMaybe go back to sleep, yeah?â
You nod. âYou want a cuppa before you go?â
Jamie hesitates, which is different from the flat-out no you expected. Finally he says, âNah, should probably get going. Donât want me hanging âround longer than needed, innit?â
Youâre not really sure how to respond to that, but Jamie doesnât give you a chance to before heâs down the front steps and out the gate.
Damn it.
â
The not-dream of Jamieâs arms carrying you to bed is much more comforting than the dreams you usually have. The ones where youâre suffocating under a blanket and everything is cold and slimy and youâre screaming and screaming, but no one takes notice.Â
You wonder if it can actually be classified as a dream, or if itâs more of a memory?
Anyway, it doesnât matter because you push it down. No sense in thinking about it in the daylight when itâs sure to haunt you at night.
â
Itâs embarrassing to see Jamie at Nelson Road, so you avoid him if you can. He certainly knows who you are now, and the few times you have accidentally made eye contact have been painful. Each time, heâs looked at you with the same completely indiscernible gaze, the one that makes your face heat up and slip out of whatever room your in. You successfully avoid conversations for four days, but he finds his way to your office on Friday.
âYou good?â he says as he walks in without knocking and sits unceremoniously in the chair opposite you.
âYes..?â you reply, unsure why heâs even here. You donât forget that heâs Jamie Tartt, star striker and really should have no interest in you, like at all.
âCool,â he says, still sitting sideways in the chair. You wonder if heâs capable of sitting normally.Â
You stare at each other in silence for a moment before you say, âNot trying to be rude, but why are you here?â
Jamie scrunches up his face. âWanted to know why you were avoiding me and to apologize for it. Whatever it was, I didnât fucking mean it.â
Oh.
âOh,â you say aloud, âno, you didnât do anything. Itâs me. All of our interactions have been supremely embarrassing, so I figured if we donât talk, I canât get embarrassed.â
Jamie nods in understanding. âThatâs proper shit,â he says.
You never know how to respond to half the things this boy says, so you just settle on, âOk,â then go back to typing.
âYou got any allergies?â Jamieâs voice breaks the silence again and startles you into a typo. You delete it and look up at him.
âNo?â you reply, confused.Â
Jamie laughs. âWhyâd you say it like a question? You unsure if youâre fucking allergic to something?â
For a moment you think heâs taking the piss, but thereâs genuine amusement in his eyes as you shrug.Â
âI donât know, itâs just how I talk. Why do you want to know if I have any allergies?â
Jamie rummages in one of his jacket pockets and plops a box down on your desk. âMum said this is the best tea for insomnia. Figured out you canât fucking sleep so I called her and asked. She used to make it when I was a lad and bouncing off the walls, like. Thought it might help.â
This is the second time Jamie has done something just plain nice for you, and itâs freaking you out a little bit. It feels⌠uneven. Wrong, maybe.
âHow much was it?â you ask in an attempt to settle the score. âI have cash in a drawer.â
Jamie scrunches his face again. âYou donât fucking owe me for this shit,â he says. âTedâs always on us about âdoing things we want done without fucking hoping some shit in return.â Only he didnât say âfuck,â or âshit.ââ
Youâve seen Ted. You know how he is.
âWell, thanks,â you reply. âIt means a lot. Iâll try it and let you know.â
Jamie grins, a great beaming smile that warms you from your chest all the way to your fingertips.
âMint,â he says before bounding out the door.
â
The tea actually helped. Or maybe it was just the fact that someone was thinking about you, doing something without expecting a favor in return. Whatever the case, you donât end up on the porch. Sure, your sleep is still jacked up, but not as much as before. Itâs restless, but itâs a sleep void of dreams.
â
You report back to Jamie the next day, and he takes it like a personal challenge. A mission of sorts. Heâs in your office every other day with some remedy or the other, all for the sake of helping you sleep.
One day itâs, âDani said if you put these plants under your pillow, youâll sleep like youâre dead.â
âTheyâre herbs, Jamie.â
Or, âRichard has this oil thingy from France and he says youâll sleep like a baby.â
You bite your tongue to keep from pointing out that babies donât sleep well.
Or another time, âCoach said if you burned this in like a bowl or some shit itâll cleanse your aura I guess? His girlfriend uses it, I think it smells fucking nasty.â
You both shudder. Coach Beard is nice, but his girlfriend certainly is a character.
You try everything and report back the next day. Jamie has taken to asking you to stick your head into the locker room so that the team can hear each verdict. They still donât really know who you are, but theyâre invested in this challenge. Theyâre sweet, and itâs funny to start your day with their cheers of success or groans of disappointment. You think the best was when Richard made a comment about certain aerobic exercise that might tire you out and Jamie had a murderous look on his face. Youâre not sure what the look means, but you did bring it up ever-so casually at the next girlsâ night.
âHe thinks youâre hot, babe,â says Jessica once the squeals have died down.
âNo way,â you reply. âImpossible.â
Evelyn shakes her head. âI have to agree with Jess on this one. Heâs into you.â
Your protests are lost amid another round of giggles, and you let yourself believe them for a single moment before quenching that stupid little spark thatâs beginning to burn brighter in your chest.

TBWSIMBW chapter 6
Today's review might be difficult for some; reader discretion is advised
Click to see the rest of the snark & image descriptions
Click here for the rest of the series!
Chapter 6
âDate? ButâŚ. I meanâŚ. what? I thought he was your brotherâs best friend! You donât even like him; you always say heâs a man-whore asshole. Whenever Iâve said to you about how hot he was, you just said that you wouldnât touch his STD ass with a bargepole!â Justin said, frowning, and looking at me confused.
I only⌠We are in chapter six. There are EIGHTEEN more chapters after this. I have such a huge headache.Â
âWhat if I said I didnât believe in having sex before marriage?â I asked, testing him.
 His eyes showed his amusement, but he just kept his face straight. âThen Iâd say how about we get married as soon as youâre old enough. Eighteen is the legal age, right?âÂ
Ignoring the fact that itâs two years until she turns legalâŚÂ
Thatâs kind of a huge red flag. Somebody who wants to wait until marriage is probably not looking to rush into a marriage simply to have sex! Theyâre looking for actual love and commitment⌠not simply a roll in the hay.Â
âNo, Angel. The reason I went with all those girls was to try and get over you. I wake up next to you every day. You send my mind and body into a frenzy. I can smell your hair when I close my eyes, or I can imagine how your hand feels when you lay it on my chest. It kills me every day to be so close to you, but be so far away,â he said, shaking his head and taking a deep breath, looking at me hopefully. âI thought maybe if I met someone else that Iâd be able to stop thinking about you, but it didnât work. Nothing works. When Iâm with them, I wish it was you. When they laugh or talk, I canât help but compare it to your voice or your laugh. Itâs always been you; itâll always be you, Angel.â
Iâm sure that thereâs some super naive girl out there who completely and utterly fell for this.
However, Iâm sitting here like âWow, using sex to try and get over the girl that you canât have sounds healthy. âŚNOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO SLEEP NEXT TO HER, DINGUS!âÂ
âI said that my mom and dad are going away for the weekend so do you think it would be alright if I just slept at yours tonight and tomorrow night? I donât really want to stay on my own,â she said in a small voice. I looked at Liam and winced. If Kate stayed over that meant that he couldnât, because she slept in the camp bed on my floor.Â
[...]
âThe whole weekend? I donât get to sleep for the whole weekend?â he whined, as soon as I had shut my phone.Â
Oh boo-hoo. Learn some fucking coping mechanisms, you co-dependent psycho.Â
Since I was eight years old I had only ever spent a few weeks away from Liam, like if one of us went on vacation, or one time he had chicken pox and I had to stay away from him for four days.
I donât know about the infectious period of chickenpox, but four days seems INSANELY short.Â
I knew that Liam didnât sleep at all when he wasnât with me. He literally laid there awake, not being able to get comfortable. He always said that his bed felt strange because he hadnât slept in it since he was ten years old.
Again, this is bizarre co-dependent behaviour, and itâs super unhealthy.Â
He immediately jumped out of his chair and bent down next to me, taking my face in his hands and kissing me, not seeming to care where we were or if people were watching. I took the initiative this time and traced my tongue along his bottom lip, he opened quickly and I slipped my tongue in.
The other people eating Chinese food, begging them to please care a little more about where they are.Â
âI promise I will never cheat on you, ever. Iâve waited too long for this chance; Iâm not going to screw it up.â
This is how you know that this is 100% a wish fulfilment story: the fuckboi was only a fuckboi because he couldnât stick his dick inside of you! Heâs going to be completely and utterly faithful and will never ever think about another girl ever again!Â
Say what you will about stuff in grown-up romance novels where the guyâs a notorious fuckboi⌠The female lead sets out to change him, to force him to settle down⌠But at least the author has to tackle the idea that âheâs a fuckboi because sex is simply that great.âÂ
[The waiter] handed me the receipt and bent down next to me so we were at the same level. He put one hand on the back of my chair and one on the table so I was trapped. My heart started to race. He was too close. âSo, Iâve not seen you around here before. I definitely would have remembered a face as beautiful as yours,â he said, his eyes were boring holes into me, as he looked like he was imagining me naked.
EXACTLY HOW DO YOU MISS THE 15 MINUTE LONG MAKE-OUT SESSION?! EXACTLY HOW BIG IS THIS CHINESE RESTAURANT?!
 It was so natural that it was almost too easy.
Chapter 6 summary: After Amber changes out from her wet clothes, she goes to meet Liam in the parking lot. Liam cheerfully announces to the other members of Amberâs dance team that heâs taking Amber out on a date. Justin is naturally worried about Amberâs mental state if she agreed to this date. But Amber is like âLol whatever!â and goes skipping off with Liam.Â
At the restaurant, Liam tells her that he only slept around because he was pining over her. Amber grills him that heâs not actually interested in sex, only being with her romantically, to which he agrees. The entire thing is bizarre, and Iâve said what I said about all that.Â
Amberâs friend, Kate, then calls to talk about the movie that she wants to watch with Amber and the other friend that night. Amber starts to have a panic attack at the thought of watching Dawn of the Dead, but Liam is like âIâll protect you!â However, Kate then asks to spend the night, since her parents are out of town. Amber agrees, knowing full well that it means Liam wonât be able to sleep with her. Liam gets grumpy over that, because as I said, the dude is incapable of functioning on his own.Â
They then make out for ages in the middle of this Chinese restaurant. Then Liam is like âIâm going to use the toilet. If the waiter comes with the check, use my credit card.â The nanosecond heâs gone, the male waiter shows up, and instantly starts hitting on Amber. In the most unhinged and predatory way imaginable. Naturally, this means that Liam shows up to chase the asshole away.Â

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.
Welcome to the working week although, for those of you working in the NHS, welcome to just another day.
Friday night was a treat! We got the chance to celebrate the birthday of Harlesdenâs Finest, who The Trouble thinks is HER friend whereas, of course, everyone knows she is MY friend! We actually ate our Chinese feast around the dining table (instead of in front of the telly!) Very civilised. And we had good, civilised conversation because, after all, we are civilised. And weâll do it all over again next weekend to celebrate my birthday, although weâll probably get take away from this very nice Indian restaurant in Willesden.
Saturday was so much fun! Thank you to everyone that listened to the radio show. Thank you for all your kind words. If you missed it, yes, itâs available on Mixcloud. Make sure you subscribe to my page, so you never miss a show. Itâs the final part of The Letter R next Saturday. No executive producer next week. Iâll just be playing with myself.
Straight after the show, up to Preston Park to attend the baby shower/birthday party of my 27-year-old niece. How did that crazy, squidgy little thing get to be 27-year-old? Parents will know that feeling. How did the years pass so quick? My beautiful daughter was in attendance, so I grabbed a selfie with her. Every day is better when I see my daughter.
Straight after the baby shower, Katie and some of her gorgeous friends came back to the house, began drinking alcohol and telling stories at very high volume. These girls have only two volumes: loud and very loud. I conked out around midnight and left the storytelling happening in the dining room. Every room in the house was occupied, with Elijah asleep on the front room sofa! You know I love that Waltons feeling!
On Sunday morning, I almost went to Sainsburyâs an hour early, until I saw The Mighty Josiahâs tablet saying it was 09:51! I warned everyone else and then forgot about the clocks going back. An extra hour of weekend? Canât complain.
On Sunday afternoon, I watched my team play football ⌠well ⌠you canât really call it âfootballâ, more like some grown men having a kick-about. They should literally go back to Sunday league on Hackney Marshes before bothering the Premier League again!
Later in the afternoon, The Trouble and I drove into central London. Never a good idea but The Trouble doesnât do public transport. Our beautiful friend Juliet Vigurs and her divine daughter were in town to see âSixâ and had a few hours to kill before their train back to Yorkshire, so we shared some dim sum with them.
Looking forward to the Scorpio party this Saturday at The White Lion, Streatham High Road (hope you can join me and my fellow Scorps) and glad to say Iâve been booked to play at Cinnabar, Stevenage on Friday, December 29th. Always good to see my beautiful friends in that part of the world.
Have a marvellous and momentous Monday. I love you all.

genre : smut, for laughs, kinda pornish, slow burn with collosaly overwhelming sexual tension

a/n : i've been fighting in a long standing war and I have lost. the man known as jeon jungkook had his foot on my neck for years and today, I have finally submitted to my fate and surrendered to his reign.
yes. after a hundred years, i'm writing again. specifically, writing for bts. particularly, writing for jungkook. its been a long time coming.
life just took over and I transitioned into an adult and kind of grew out of the state of mind I was in before. but. sigh. jeon jungkook has been tormenting me the whole time. it was only a matter of time before i relapsed honestly.
so here I am again. in mind, body and spirit, a different person from who I was before but still the same in the sense that with the way bts have my whole heart, jk will always be the demon in the corner of my room that I invite to bed for a cuddle even though it's (probably really) not good for me.
do not misconstrue. I love him more than I can say. but. sigh. he has me in a chokehold, loves. please try to understand where I'm coming from.
anyways, enough with this ranting. you all came here for the nitty gritty so let me not hold you hostage with my dilemma rambling any longer. here's to the first bts fic i've posted in literal years. introducing- sugar and spice.

1 2

Unless they told someone, no one would have been able to guess it.
At school they were complete strangers.
She was the nice head girl with a clean record, all smiles and straight Aâs. He was the mysterious bad boy with a track record, all tatted up with bruised knuckles.
She wore plaid skirts with neat pleads in them and pastel sweaters with bows at the collar. He wore jeans with rips in them and leather jackets with studs.
They couldn't have been any more different.
As far as anyone was concerned, they existed on two extreme ends of a vast spectrum.
What they didn't know was that they shared a dirty little secret.
.
You were a girl with many dirty secrets.
For instance, you used to sell nudes online. It was a side hustle you did.
Not because you needed money.
Your mom was a renowned doctor so there was more than enough of that in your life.
Not because you needed validation from people online either.
Even without the constant compliments and the praises you knew you were visually blessed with a pretty face and a nice body too.
All things considered, you simply thought you had a nice pair of tits and you took pictures of them sometimes.
Posting the shots you snapped online came much later when you heard about this website where people were getting paid crazy money for posting racy things.
âItâs just so degradingâŚâ It was one of your friends, June, who sneered, pretty nose scrunched up. She fixed her long ponytail and rolled her brown eyes while looking in the mirror at her locker. âWho would do such a thing, am I right?â
She said this, but June was the girl who has slept with more boys than she could count on her two hands. And those were the ones she told you about.
Like every other time, you said nothing. Even when it carried on to lunch with the rest.
âPretty desperate if you ask me.â Mei the stellar track runner shrugged casually as she stretched her limbs like routine.
âWhere are their parents?â Nina the library nerd shook her head in disapproval as she fixed her glasses so it sat right on the bridge of her nose.
âUm⌠I donât think itâs ⌠appropriate��� to talk about âŚ.â Kiko the one who always carried a cross and bible around mumbled into her sleeve.
All your friends spoke of it in derision and repulsion of course. This was a school for proper children so they were proper girls. At least they were supposed to be.
Regardless the conversation sparked a curiosity in you.
So you made an account and uploaded your first picture. Nothing bizarre. Just your tits in a pretty lace bra.
You made sure to keep your face out of the frame because that was the smart thing to do and you were nothing if not the smartest student in school.
In all honesty, you werenât expecting anything out of it. In fact, in between work with student council and tutoring your juniors with finals right around the corner, you even forgot about it for an entire month.
It was by a complete whim that you decided to open the app while youâd been unwinding at your desk following a tedious day at school.
To say you were amused by the response you found waiting for you would have be a grave understatement.
You were staring at the four figure digit that now sat in your bank account.
Reading through the comment section was even more interesting.
There were all sorts of people there who had all sorts of things to say. Ranging from honestly sweet to downright dirty.
You had never been brought to tears laughing in her life before until then.
It was just so funny to see people misbehave and lose their minds over a pair of tits.
From then on it just sort of became a thing.
.
But that wasn't the worse of your secrets.
You were making a name for yourself on the crude web months later.
The next step was naturally to move from making taking pictures to making videos. Since you was already in too deep you didnât see why not.
So you upgraded and opened another account. An amateur one where your touched yourself for an audience.
You were no prude.
You might have never been touched by a boy before but you had touched yourself plenty times. Stress and frustration came hand in hand with being head girl. Since you couldnât quite vent it out at the annoying troublemakers at school, this was your second best option.
Third was watching porn, but that was mostly when you were extremely bored.
But that wasnât where that little endeavor ended.
Later on it became a lot more risquĂŠ.
.
It all started when your mom hit you with a marriage announcement.
She met a guy on her business trip who she really liked and she was convinced he was the one.
Your mom had a tragic history of being a bad judge of character.
Youâve had this conversation at least five times since you became old enough to understand that boys and girls who were just friends didnât kiss and sleep with each other.
Most times, it felt like she was doing it because she thought you needed a dad around.
You might have once, when you were younger and your mom was too busy with work to be there. But she worked from home these days and you were soo busy with school to worry about things like that.
This time it was like she was doing it for her. You were glad.
Your mom looked genuinely happy when she spoke about this guy.
Who were you to get in the way?
.
She spent almost the whole weekend in the kitchen. It was the longest youâve seen her in there in your entire life.
She was excited for the dinner on Sunday.
Mr Jeon was the name of the chosen man.
He was coming over with his kid. A son, his only family. His wife passed away years ago.
You wore the dress your mom picked out for you, something cream in color and off the shoulders that brushed your knees. She looked pretty in her champagne dress. It was different from the office slacks and loose blouses you were used to seeing her in.
You stood by her at the door while the guests came through.
Lifting your head from a polite bow, you found herself staring straight into an achingly familiar pair of glinting dark eyes and went completely still.
âSweetie,' Your mother said sounding delighted, a soft hand on your stiff shoulder. 'This is Mr Jeon and his son Jungkook.â
Ah. Fuck.
âJeon dear, this is my daughter. Isnât she lovely?â
.
Dinner was a mild affair, with small talk and the occasional clinking of cutlery on fine china.
From the outside looking in, you probably looked the picture perfect family already.
Only if no-one looked close enough.
Arms crossed, tongue in cheek. Your discomfort could be detected from miles away.
The two adults were oblivious.
The dark eyed boy with the slightest wave to his nape touching, brow grazing, ear covering onyx hair sat across you though; he took note of this with a passing glance and wordlessly returned to his food.
Jeon Jungkook had a countenance that betrayed his reputation.
Even though youâve never talked, you knew plenty about him and you were sure he knew a lot about you too.
You went to the same school.
Dressed as he was in a crisp white dress shirt buttoned at the wrist and dark tailored pants with a fine belt on, it might have been hard to tell what kind of person he really was.
You lifted her gaze from your plate to look study him wordlessly, idly twisting the noodles with your fork.
People either called him the black sheep or the dark cloud but for you, Jeon Jungkook was the schoolâs resident lone wolf.
He smoked in the secluded areas on campus, sometimes playing his guitar. Beat up people who got on his nerves, sometimes using his guitar. Slept in class the rare times he was there, many times on his guitar.
Being his senior, you had never seen any of any of that for yourself. But you received plenty reports weekly to come to a sound conclusion.
There was no way people hated him enough to join hands in solidarity and make this all up.
It was quite the contrary actually. He had an alarming number of fans.
On the surface level you couldnât see why. Most times you saw him, he looked bored out his mind and honestly, intimidating.
Maybe it was the tattoos. Or the ripped skinny jeans. Or the leather jackets with studs.
Maybe it was the domineering height and fit frame and structured face.
Maybe it was the intense dark eyes or the silky ruffled hair.
Even then, you failed to see the irresistible appeal in him. All those things that made him up only added to his unapproachable aura.
Bottom line was, he was bad news.
.
You didnât want to be a spoil sport.
But how much of a thug your momâs boyfriendâs son was shouldnât be something that would make her like him less.
They were both their own people. Right ?
It was just that you just didnât want her to be shocked and devastated if something happened later. When it happened.
Yet it seemed the serious conversation would have to wait.
After dinner your mom suggested you head to the living room to chat over wine and cheese.
You stayed back to do take out the dishes.
Earlier, your mom had stood to do it instead at first.
âDonât bother with that, dear.â She reached for the plates in your hands. âLet me do it.â
âItâs okay, mom.â You smiled a little. âThis is your night. Iâll meet you in the living room.â
'Sweetie...' Your mom looked close to tears. âBut thereâs so much of itâŚâ
âJungkook,â his father's voice had cut through the moment. He was a serious man in a crisp suit with a stoic countenance. His voice was just naturally authoritarian without him trying âGive her a hand.â
Jungkook stood, almost robotically.
âItâs fine.â You said. Politely. Nicely. Tightly. âI can handle this much.â
You left without another word.
That had been moments ago and now you were done with cleaning.
You stood at living room entrance for a while, taking in the scene.
The two adults were exchanging moon eyes and whispering in each otherâs ears at the love seat.
Jungkook was sitting on a solo seat, but he was on his phone, completely unbothered by what was happening.
Your mom seemed to think it was the perfect time to pull out the photo album right then and there upon seeing you.
It was embarrassing but at least you knew you didnât have to worry about the pictures spreading at school.
Jungkook was looking, picking up a picture occasionally to rove over, but he wasnât the type to do that.
He also wasnât the type to stare but you felt his glance shifting to you and lingering multiple times.
Once, you caught his eyes and he just stared at you across the coffee table wordlessly with a curious tilt to his head, idly flipping a picture of you dressed as a knight in glitter shining armor for Halloween at eight in his hands.
Honestly, it was starting to get annoying.
But you endured. For your momâs sake.
.
Your alarm went off at exactly ten.
As subtly as you could, you excused yourself with an apology to the guests, saying you weren't really feeling well.
In hindsight you probably should have used a better excuse.
Your mom was notorious when it came to worrying, especially when it comes to your health.
Also, you probably shouldâve locked the door before undressing just for good measure since people were over.
But in the moment, you were too busy setting your camera up where you were kneeling on the floor at the foot of the bed to be concerned about that.
That day you were testing out a new toy.
.
Distractedly, you took note of a couple of people asking you if that was your boyfriendâs shirt you had lifted over your tits.
You ignored them.
Couldnât a girl own an oversized tee without getting any flack?
Trivial comments like that aside, a good majority of the audience are fawning over how wet you were and how perfect you bouncing tits look being played with.
Your head fell back and your eyes fluttered shut.
You were sitting there, knees raised to your chest and legs splayed, your gushing pussy in full display where the toy was stuffed deep into her tightness, vibrating pleasantly.
âIâm closeâŚâ you mumbled throatily, squeezing your tits and pinching your stiff nipples in between your moving fingers. You moved your hips move faster, feeling the toy buzz against fluttering walls. You took a hand off one of your tits to rub at your engorged clit. âFuckfuckfuckâŚâ
Deep in your high, you didnât hear the door open and close with a foreboding click.
You only heard your name being called by a deep, smooth voice through the heady haze.
Instantly you stilled.
When you snapped your head to look over her shoulder Jungkook was there, hands in his pockets, leaning against your doorframe with his sleeves drawn up to his elbows, muscle roped, inked skin on full display.
When he tilted his head to the side a little, appraisively, you dared to say as a quaking chill ran down your spine and your entire body felt like it was about to burst into flames, a bit of his hair fell over his face.
His eyes were like two black in the dark as he took you in, dragging his gaze up and down your exposed body languidly.
In the back of your mind, you wished the ground would part and swallow you whole.
âYour mom,' he starts, capturing your attention wholly, dark gaze finally flickering to your face, his voice suddenly lower, hoarser. âShe sent me over to check on you.â
It took you a moment to realize where you were, who you were, who he was.
It was like a bucket of cold water had been dropped over your head.
Jeon Jungkook, the school's resident trouble maker, soon to be your step brother, just walked in on you fingering yourself in in front of a recording camera.
Well. Yeah.
You gulped.
You were royally fucked.

depending on the response I get I might ( most probably will ) delete this. not because I'm ashamed of my work. because I'm embarrassed of myself. I really swore to never write again and here I am. sigh. yes, I have seen my previous works and noticed just how terrible they were and this is a big reason why. so sorry for putting you through that. a million apologies.
also, that's right. I have adopted a new style which might not be to everyone's liking. another reason why.
anyways, if you liked this filth ( i know it seems mild but I can tell you it's very likely gonna get worse ) please idk uh... fuck this isn't ao3. hm.
like and drop by in the ask box if you liked it and want to see more. it makes me happy. its like serotonin fuel to me.
have a nice day. see you next time ( maybe ). stay fresh. yeah. đđ.

crossposted on ao3 x
You sigh, wiping the back of your hand before grabbing the next hay bale that needed to be lifted to the loft. Your back aching, you grit your teeth as you lug it towards the ladder. Itâs the last one and after a sweaty afternoon, you just want to get into bed. Hopefully Annie did end up getting you supperâyou had to work through it just so Shadis didnât get your ass up tomorrow to finish the job.
âHere, let me help.â
âOh, thank you,â you reply, glancing to see your savior and a warmth shoots through your body when you realize itâs Bertholdt. âYou know if Shadis catches you helping me, itâs going to be hell to pay, right?â The boy smiles, shrugging, and you canât help your own grin as he gestures for you to climb up. Skirting up the ladder, you turn around to take the hay bale and pushing it towards the corner before jumping down and dusting off your hands. Stable clean-up is never fun, but with autumn right around the corner, they all want to get a head start before the chill sets in.
âI wanted to ask you a favour.â
âI knew there had to be a reason you were in here,â you tease. âShoot.â
âWell, we have visiting privileges next weekend,â Bertholdt continues as you walk around the stables, picking up tools as you make your way towards where the broom is leaning against the wall. The tall boy ambles after you and you shoot him an amused look, curiosity pricking at your fingers.Â
Half-way through their training in the corps, and Bertholdt still manages to keep you guessing. You donât know what it is about him, but your friendâs always been the quiet one. Itâs part of why you like being around him, but you just wish his friend liked you. Annie seems more than fine with you.
Reiner, on the other hand, can barely even look at you. Itâs a real downer.
âI was just wonderingâŚâ
âYou should ask Annie,â you cut off before he can finish, picking up the broom to begin sweeping the stray hay into a neat pile. Bertholdtâs spine goes ramrod straight and his cheeks redden so intensely you canât help but laugh. âIâm pretty sure she would say yes. You guys are friends, right?â
âYes, but weâreâweâre notâwhy would I ask Annie, specifically?â he stammers. The horses neigh as you walk past, their necks stretching out for treats but you ignore them, heading for the entrance. âShe could go with a bunch of other people.â
âYeah, but she always goes with me.â Glancing at Bertholdt, your eyes narrow when he smacks his forehead, covering his flustered expression miserably. Poking him in the gut with the handle of your broom, you continue, âAnd she only likes a few people here. Youâre one of them, Bertl.âÂ
âWell, if you think so. I mean, youâre her dorm mate, not me, so⌠argh!â he groans as you walk past him, sweeping. âYouâre not helping!â
âHelping with what?â you ask innocently, not paying him a second look. You hear him let out a sigh as you brush hay to the back of the stables. âYouâre the one who wanted a favour.â
âYeah, and I still need to tell you.â
âLiterally no oneâs stopping you, Bertholdt.â Another resigned sigh. âOkay. Okay. Ask me. I promise I wonât tease you for the next ten minutes.â Turning around, you rest your broom against the post between two stalls. A horse nudges at your face and you scratch the stallionâs chin as Bertholdt walks closer. His eyes inspect your own expression, searching for trickery, but you only grin.
Then, he drops his crossed arms and says, âSomeone wants to ask you out next weekend for our visit to Trost.â
âEr, okay? Why didnât they just ask me themselves?â Crossing your own arms, you lean against the post, the lantern hanging above your head and casting everything in a warm glow. It softens Bertholdtâs smile as he shrugs mischievously. âWho was it?â
âReiner.â
âReiner?â His name is punched out of you, sharp with shock, and your broom slides off the post, clattering to the floor between the two cadets as you stare at Bertholdt.Â
âMhm?â
âReiner Braun.â
âYep.â
âWe know the same one, donât we?â
âBlond, makes ass jokes, this tall?â he shoots back, raising a hand that comes just near his ear. You nod. âYeah.â
âBut he hates me.â
âWhat? No, he doesnât. Why would you think that?â Bertholdtâs eyebrows knit together and you stare at him incredulously, not sure if heâs joking or not. Shaking your head, you let out a scoff and bend down to pick up your broom to continue your sweeping. Mind a swirl, you try to reconcile the Reiner, who has never said more to you than âpass the greaseâ during ODM maintenance and âyou have dirt on your chinâ after forest exercises, with the Reiner who had to ask Bertholdt to ask you out for him.
Sounds fake, but you digress.
âOkay,â you drawl, unable to help the disbelief from creeping into your voice. âThis was a good attempt at a joke, but you need to try harder next time.â
âYou donât believe me.â
âWhy would I ever believe you?â
âBecause I would never liâmake something up like that,â he says, correcting himself, and you send him a strange look. âJust⌠when we get to Trost, you know that bakery that sells the stuffed cream buns. The one you mentioned before?â
âYeah. Annie likes them,â you inform him pointedly, and Bertholdtâs mouth drops open to argue but he seems to think better of it this time.
âYes, that one.â Fighting a furious blush on his cheeks, he continues, âIf youâre there at noon, youâll see Iâm not lying.â
âAnd if Iâm not there?â
âReiner will be very sad for the rest of his life,â Bertholdt declares and you canât help your serious expression from sliding off. âWill you please just consider it?â
Staring at your friend, you study his expression. Itâs completely genuine, open, eyes wide and you feel a part of you melting at how adorable he is. For such a tall guy, heâs so goddamn gentle it blows your mind heâs a fighter. You canât see him hurting even so much as a fly.
Itâs for that reason you relent. Because Bertholdtâs never gone out of his way to scheme your downfall. He doesnât have that in him. âFine,â you say after a moment. âFine, Iâll consider it.â
.
When Reiner steps back into the port city, he canât help but think what he always thinks when he gets off a battlefield. Four years, and every thought is the same. Routine, almost. Or maybe, a habit to keep something alive.
And he almost takes comfort in it. That you wouldâve loved it here. In MarleyâLiberio, or otherwise. There are so many kinds of sweets, pastries, so many sights to seeâthe water stretches on for miles and miles, and you couldâve tried seafood. Maybe you wouldâve liked it.
You never tried seafood. He promised. He promisedâ
Fucking hell.Â
He steps out of the barracks, insides twisting into a tight knot as the sun blinds him. Lifting a hand, he squints and blinks, trying to get used to the brightness as people pass him by. Galliardâs voice trails after him like a ghost, and he scowls to himself, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He feels like he hasnât slept a wink, and his body aches in places so deep he canât rub it out.
âI saw you through her memories. You acted like the tough, reliable type. Not at all like yourself. And you were with that girl. Who was she to you, anyway, Reiner? Because my brother would have never cozied up with the enemy.â
Cozied up with the enemy. Itâs as much as implying fraternization as anything and Reiner had barely chained back the words that wouldâve torn both him and Galliard to shreds.
Donât you fucking dare reduce her to just some promise I broke ever again. It stopped meaning something to me years ago.
Shaking his head free of Galliardâs voice, an image of you flashes through his mind to replace it and the urge to send a fist into his own face lances down his arm, but he barely restrains himself from doing so. Instead, he tightens his hand until his nails dig into his palm.
Youâre always the one thing he canât shake, nor does he think he wants to.Â
Hollow, his feet drag his battered body towards the harbour.Â
As he walks along the water, he hear some of the fishermen whistle and sing their shanties. It takes him a moment to recognize theyâre all singing the same song, and heâs thrown back to when he came to the port the first time he was to go off to Paradis, how he committed the shanties to memory so he could take something with him to what was supposed to be an Island of Devils.
It makes his entire body ache, the uplifting tune filling his body up until he canât possibly breathe. The way the sailors all sing together, smiling at each otherâthe camaraderie.
âSoon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum, one day when the tounginâ is done, weâll take our leave and goâŚâ
He misses that the most.
.
The sun is hanging in the centre of the sky as you glance from your plate to your surroundings. The fountain is full of life, people milling around the edges, tossing coins in and making wishes, and you hide a smile behind your hand when you watch a group of kids trying to flick their coins to the top most basin of the structure. The tiny plink-plink is barely heard, but either way, their groans of disappointment are far more amusing.
It helps pass the time at least, while you waste away your afternoon waiting for someone youâre not even sure will come. Dressed in a white blouse tucked into a long dark purple skirt that covers your pants, you cross one leg over the other as you wait.
You donât even know why youâre here. Bertholdt had all but avoided your questions for the past week, and Annie didnât budge, although, itâs harder for the blonde to slip. Being bunkmates helps, but not that much.
You keep people-watching, glancing up at the sky occasionally to see if any birds pass over, your bread untouched. Glancing up and down the street, you rest your chin glumly on the palm of your hand, elbow resting on the table.Â
No pretty blond head in sight.Â
Groaning, you lift your head when one of the waiters approaches, asking if you wanted anything more. You shake your head, a warmth spreading over your face and watching him go when a shadow falls over your table.Â
âOh, you got something to eat already.âÂ
Head jerking to the voice, you look up in surprise at whoeverâs blocking your sunlight. Standing upright, your chair clatters against cobblestone as you clear your throat.
âYouâre actually here,â you blurt out to both of their surprise and Reiner rocks back on his heels, running a hand through his short hair. His eyebrows struggle to meet his hairline and he smiles sheepishly.
âSorry Iâm late. Uh, sit down. I just⌠got lost.â You sink back into your chair and he takes the seat down across from yours nervously. Heâs dressed in a pale green button up and darker slacks, but for once, heâs not scowling at you and you offer a slight smile. âHow⌠how are you?â
âIâm okay. Slow morning.â He nods. You glance at your plate and nudge it towards him awkwardly. âI got it for you. Itâs my favourite. I dunno what Bertl told you about me, or⌠why Iâm even here, honestly.â
He picks up the bun tentatively, and you look down at your boots as he takes a bite, too nervous to watch his reaction.
What if he hates sweet things? What if he canât drink cow milk? Donât you remember? What if it makes him shit his pantsâ
âOh, wow. I need to come to this place more often,â Reiner mumbles, taking another huge bite and your gaze flits to his face as he chews. His eyes are focused solely on the bun in a way that reminds you a lot like Sasha, and the corner of your mouth pulls into a pleased hint of a smile. âThis is heavenâŚâ
âYou like it?âÂ
A noise escapes the blond and eyes jerk to meets yours as if he just remembered you were there and you tear your eyes away, clasping your hands together on the table. You close your eyes. Can the embarrassment just swallow you up already?
Reiner clears his throat, taking the cup of water left out for him after a quick point and your nod. He drains it to buy them both time, and your thumbs rub together. If you just walk away now, would it be too bad? You could probably find Annie or Jean pretty easily. Bertholdtâs probably just exploring the city with⌠if you had to hazard a guess, maybe Armin? They both like the architectureâstuff like that.
Honestly, you have no idea.
Porcelain rests against wood as Reiner nods. âI do. I didnât know you had a sweet tooth.â
âEr, yeah. Since I was a kid. We didnât have much, uh, variety, so stuff like this was kinda a delicacy. I grew up at this orphanage where we worked the fields.â You shift in your seat as Reiner continues to eat, and you sigh silently to yourself. Why did you give up an afternoon looking at paint supplies with Jean for an awkward date like this?
Wait, this is a date right? Thatâs what Bertholdt said. Ask you out. Those were his words, right?
âWhere are you from?â
âJust inside Wall Maria, so when Shiganshina was breached, we had more time to move inward,â you explain briefly. âBut we mostly ate what we grew for crops. I mean, itâs not like we could buy cream buns every day, you know?â Reiner nodded silently, and you give him an uneasy smile, feeling the need to elaborate. âEver since we joined the corps, they send me money for birthdays and stuff. I donât know.â You clear your throat. âAnyway, I just thought you might like the bun.â
âEven though you think I hate you?â
âWhaââ A strangled noise comes out of your mouth. âWho told you that?â
âWhy would you think that, anyway?â
âBecause all you do is glare at me,â you say pointedly. Crossing your arms over your chest, you shoot him a narrowed look. âAnd scowl. And you generally avoid being anywhere near me. I mean, do I stink to you or something, Braun, because I have news for youââ
âI donât hate you. I actually really like you,â he tells you bluntly, cutting your rant in half, and your eyebrows shoot up in surprise. Reiner looks down at the empty plate, crossing his own arms and leaning forward on them.Â
âY-you like me?â you stammer and his cheeks redden.
âI mean, if Annie likes someone, Iâm inclined to believe that theyâre worth my time.â
Frowning, your shoulders slump. Gears turning, your expression scrunches up as you think aloud. âBut, you asked Bertholdt to ask me out for you. Unless this is a dumb dareâwait.â You sit upright, twisting around to see if any of the other boys are milling around the plaza. Scanning for brown hair, or grey hair, or even blond hair, your cheeks begin to burn at the idea that someoneâs watching you embarrass yourself but a hand on your elbow brings your gaze reeling back to Reiner.
A smile curls his lips impishly, but his eyes are resolute, calmer. Even still, he looks like heâs trying to fight a small panic rising up inside him, just like you are as he tells you to relax.
âThis isnât a dare,â he says. âIâm not that cruel.â
âIâve seen you do worse to Titan dummies.â
âExactly. I just wanted to get to know you better. Bertholdt offered to help me out since you guys are already friends, and I thought what the hell.â
You turn that explanation over in your head tentatively and a part of you recognizes it makes sense. Despite your hesitation, you know you only said yes because it was Bertholdt who asked you.
Otherwise, how inclined were you to say yes if it had been Reiner stalking up to you and asking you to hang out in Trost? How likely would it have been that you would be sitting here instead of walking along the stalls with Sasha and Connie?
âIâm kinda ashamed I donât know you that well,â Reiner continues, fighting off tones you canât decipher laced in his voice. Your brow furrows. âBut I want to fix that, if youâd let me.âÂ
Dazedly, you repeat, âFix⌠that?â
He nods and you simply stare at him, trying to get your mouth to work. Itâs like he stole all the words from your mouth and time seems to slow as your lips part.
Absently, you realize his hand is still touching your elbow, fingers firm but not tight, and you swallow, studying his expression. Golden light plays on his face, sharpening the shadows of his nose and cheeks and lips, and yet everything about him seems to soften. Normally, you see him as hard rigid lines, like the shape of armour, and there is always an imposing aura around him that has become more muted now that heâs sitting beside you.
And you believe it. That he doesnât hate you.
Maybe he really, really doesnât, and youâd be an idiot if you donât take up the offer.
So you stand up abruptly, and pull your arm out of his grip before slipping your hand into his.
âFine,â you annouce, pulling him up. His eyes widen and you lead him away from the cafĂŠ with a small grin to yourself. A new plan begins to formulate in your mind as they step into the welcoming sun. Reinerâs long strides catch up to yours and he falls into step beside you. His stare burns into your cheek and you only tighten your grip on his hand as you lift your chin haughtily at him. âWhat do you say to a game of twenty questions?â
His eyebrows shoot up, but then a smug smile pulls at his mouth and he squeezes your hand back. âSounds perfect, creampie. I promise, Iâll be perfectly honest.â
âCreampie?â you repeat dumbly, eyebrows shooting up and a horrible burning licking at your heart. Reiner gives you a vulgar smile and you let go of his hand, shaking your head and smacking his arm before looking down at the ground. Half of you wishes the ground would open up and swallow you wholeâthe other half thinks youâll die of embarrassment before that. âHow do you even know what that is?â
âI could ask you the same thing.â
You straighten up, spine straight as an arrow. Flustered, you stutter, âThatâs none of your business.â
He tilts his head back and laughs. âGuess that was your first question, then, huh? Bold start. Surprised me, too, creampie, so that gets you bonus points.â
âWhat? Waitâno! That doesnât count!â
.
Walking past the hospital every day, it feels almost ritual to look past the gates and into the courtyard. Sometimes there are patients milling around, doing their daily physical activity, or nurses and other workers walking through to get a break from all the depressing shit that must be going on in there, and Reiner always, always, wonders if he should be in there with the rest of them.
Itâs why he turns his head on reflex now, peering through iron-wrought gates. No oneâs inside except for a pair walking through the path and he stops for a moment, watching.Â
One of them is most definitely a woman, a hat covering her head and a long coat the shade of plums. A white Eldian armband is stark against the shade of her clothes. Meanwhile the other looks like heâs been dragged through hell. With one leg, he hobbles along with his crutch, black hair streaming past his shoulders, and heâs ragged, white shirt kind of messy from where Reiner stands. The Eldian armband is wrapped tight along his bicep. But he stands straight-back, shoulders set, the gait of a soldier. Pride keeps him up, not strength.
Heâs too far away to hear them speak, and they stick to the shadows of the hospital, but after a short moment, the woman wraps an arm around the one not desperately holding onto the crutch, leaning in closer towards the man as if he has the most riveting thing to say.
For a moment, it is not a woman in a purple jacket and a veteran with one leg but two cadets walking the streets of Trost, sunlight shining down on them warmly. The blond boy leans to listen to the girl beside him, smiling until he thought his cheeks would fall off.
âThis is your last question, Reiner. Make it count.â
âHm⌠alright, if you could do anything in the world, anything at all, what would you do? No Titans, no soldiers. Letâs say there was no war at all and you had unlimited resources, yadda, yadda, yaddaâŚâ
âOh? Hm⌠Iâd want to live where thereâs a lot of water. Like a lake or something. Iâd get to try all these foods Iâve never thought of before, and Iâd, uh⌠I donât know what Iâd do for money. I guess Iâd figure it out somehow.â
âChopping down wood sounds fun.â
âYeah, right! Iâd rather chop my fingers off. Hm⌠Maybe I could raise some kids, like I was raised. Give them a home.â
âThatâs a lot of responsibility.â
âI dunno. I like being responsible for things. It makes me feel like Iâm needed, I guess. I donât want a kid to grow up lonely like I did.â
âThat⌠that sounds nice.â
âYou could visit, you know. As long as you chop the firewood.â
Reiner blinks, and the two are gone. Not a hint of them are in sight, and a soft breath slips out between his lips. He mustâve been seeing things.
Shaking his head to himself, he turns away.
.
The past year and a half has been turbulent since you became friends with Reiner, but for some reason, you donât think you would change the thing.Â
Not even when Connie would come at ghastly hours in the morning because âCAN YOU PLEASE TELL REINER TO STOP SNORING? We would but weâre too afraid of being crushed by the weight of his entire body. Thank you! Youâre the best, seriously.â
Or when theyâre studying and Reiner makes one too many jokes about how he could fuck a Titan, despite Bertholdtâs resigned sighs and you throwing a book at him, and it only gets you, âKeep acting like that and Iâll take a bite out of your juicy ass next, creampie,â and a heat that kisses at your face.
Not even after reclaiming Trost and losing yourself in his arms.
You feel something inside you shatter as the smell of ash tickles at your nose. Walking past the combat medics base they set up for the parameter of the recovery effort, you donât even look up at any of your friends still left as you walk past. Your entire body burns from the aftermath of Trost, and you wonder if youâll be able to even get up in the morning as you limp over to a secluded alleyway and lean against the stone.
You donât know if youâve ever fought for that long or hard in your life, and you canât feel your legs anymore as you sink to the floor.
Too many bodies. There are too many bodies.
âHey.â
Looking up, you pull your mask down when Reiner stands before you. Tearing the fabric off your neck, you draw your knees up and rest your arms on top of them, the mask hanging off your fingers limply. A strange relieving wave washes over you to know heâs still here, even surrounded by so much death.
âHi,â you murmur. âItâs a lot.â
âYeah,â he agrees simply, leaning in beside you and sliding down. Their knees knock into one another as he tugs his own mask down. Sweat glistens along his skin and his sleeves are rolled up as he clears his throat. âIâm glad you made it out.â
You smile faintly at him but it flickers out before it can find a place on your face. Looking at your hands, you imagine the rough skin of calluses forming on your palms still and you wish you could rip your gloves off but every part of you is too exhausted to move now. Softly, you tell him, âIâm glad you made it out, too. There are a few of us I havenât really caught sight of. I know Erenâs squad is dead. Iââ you stop yourself. No way Reiner is interested in the fact that you had taken their deaths in stride because you had to in the moment and now you donât think you can feel at allâ âbut⌠Marco. I havenât seen him in days. Jean hasnât seen him either.â
âM-Marco?â Reiner whispers and your eyes lift to look at him. âYou havenât found him yet?â Gaze widening at the colour draining from Reinerâs face, your stomach flips and a dread fills your entire being as you sit upright, your legs sliding down, your arms falling to the ground to prop yourself up. Lungs tightening, your lips part as if to form his name but no sound comes out.
You know what his silence means. His silence is death spelt out in glaring red lettersâthe same shade as blood.Â
But Marco?
Why Marco? A caustic voice screams inside you and your nails dig into the cobblestone as Reiner turns his face away, jaw clenching. Trying to breathe, the air stalls in your throat and your gut clenches as your gaze drifts to the street full of combat medics and doctors, other soldiers who still walk. Whatâwhat do you mean Marco isnât one of them? You want to grab Reiner by the jacket, shake him until he makes sense, but instead you search for freckles behind every mask, stumbling to your feet. Marco never did anything wrong. He was supposed to join the MPs. He was our⌠our leader. He never did anything wrong.
He never did anything wrong. Never. Never. Not Marco. It canât be. The thought tumbles through your head as you push yourself to your feet but your knees nearly give in on the first step and you stumble to the other side of the alleyway with a harsh noise. Shoulder crashing into the stone, your eyes squeeze tight and hot tears pour down your face as you clench your teeth, trying to chain back the sob thatâs working through your body. Head hanging, your mouth pries open as an ugly moan comes out of you, so deep inside you that you want to crumble.
Days seem to pile onto your shoulders until you think your bones will break and your fingers curl into tight fists as you try to stop the tears from falling, but they keep coming, tracing your nose, pushing everywhere and everything is so hot. Shit, you canât even breatheâ
Hands take your shoulders and you let out a ferocious scream, thrashing yourself out of your grip but fingers only slide to your biceps, pulling you away from the wall as your boots slip against the cobblestone and then hands are on your wrists, pushing away your blind fists.
âLet me go! Heâs dead, isnât he?â you scream as he lets go of you for just a second to wrap his arms around you and you let out a shuddering breath as he crushes you in his embrace. âReiner! Tell me! Marcoâs dead!â
âYes! Yes, he is!â
His words spear through your skull, sending electricity down your spine and your entire body goes limp as he collapses to his knees, you with him. Your arms at your side, your eyes blink open and you feel fresh tears fall down your face as he cups the back of your head, holding you to him and as something wet seeps into your shoulder, itâs as if you are set on fire.
âIâm so sorry. Iâm sorry.â
 On their own accord, your arms come up under his and fingers hook onto his shoulders. Chest to chest, you swear your heart beats in a mournful beat with his, and his entire body collapses against yours. Eyes closing, you press yourself closer, hoping that the heat of his body will chase away the cold thatâs rapidly spreading through your body.
Reinerâs arm around your waist tightens. You swallow hard against his shoulder.
âPlease forgive me,â he whispers against your neck, wet cheek pressing against your jaw, and your chest stutters as you try to remember how to breathe.
âReinerâŚâ
You barely breathe his name. It only makes him curl tighter against you.
.
Liberio is colder at night than he remembers. He has to pull the blankets up to his chin, and still, he shivers.
Rolling onto his side, he can nearly imagine you staring back beside him, smiling, hand reaching to touch his face, and his eyes flutter shut when your fingers seem to pass through his cheek.
In his mind, youâre wearing the white blouse and long purple skirt again, long riding boots covering dark pants, innocent smile on your face as you wait for him in the noon sunlight.Â
By then, he had known there werenât any devils on Paradis, but heâd never seen an angel until he saw you cast in gold.

Sharing a bed with the Evans
a/n: this isnât very detailed and poorly written but I was just in the mood to write something, hope you enjoy it <3
TATE LANGDON
- Tate is actually a very good person to share a bed with. He doesnât tend to snore and he very rarely steals the covers. - You each have your own side of the bed, but itâs sort of just a silent agreement that you both fall asleep on your side, Tate pressing his front to you, his head on your pillow. - Very rarely did he let you be the big spoon and if he did, it was usually because he was half asleep and it didnât register in his sleepy mind with you rolled yourself over and clung onto him. - You and Tate usually wake up at around the same time, but on the off chance that you woke up earlier than him, you would be more than happy to let him sleep, admiring how innocent Tate always looked as he rested, his cheeks rosy and lips parted slightly with his cheek smooshed into the pillow.
KIT WALKER
- Both you and Kit value your sleep greatly and you usually both climb into bed before 10pm, snuggling close together and just enjoying the way your bodies met beneath the sheets, listening to one another breathing and sometimes whispering stories to each other. - Neither of you ever wore clothes to bed, not even in the dead of winter, the both of you clinging onto the other and enjoying the warmth of your shared body heat. - Very often, you and Kit would meet halfway across the bed, not really having sides, and tangling together in between the pillows; Kit would hoist your leg over his hip and pull you close to him, a hand coming to the back of your head as you nuzzled into his bare chest. This position would never last long though, and often you would wake up sprawled on top of him or wrapped around one of his arms whilst he slept on his back. - Kit was definitely more of a morning person than you and would often crawl straight out of bed to make you breakfast and bring it to you. He loved treating you to small luxuries like this, especially on the weekends.
KYLE SPENCER (post-death)
- Kyle didnât like lying around in bed, waiting to fall asleep so he often chose to stay up when you went to bed, watching movies or drawing until he began to feel sleepy. - When he did come to bed, he would creep into the room, trying his best to stay as quiet as he could but he was quite a clumsy person, and so as he was hurriedly changing for bed, you would stir and turn sleepily to look at him, his large eyes wide and blinking back at you in the dark. - You would smile softly at him and pull the covers back, patting the spot beside you and watching as he crawled in, very gently tucking the sheets around the two of you before gathering your warm body to his. - You would fall back asleep almost immediately in his hold, Kyleâs own eyes drifting shut as your breathing evened out and he finally fell asleep beside you. - Because you often didnât get the chance to cuddle before bed, you would do it the morning instead, talking softly to one another as you both slowly woke up, gathered together in a little tangle in the middle of the bed, the covers a disturbed fluffy mess around your bodies.
JIMMY DARLING
- The bed that you and Jimmy shared was quite small, about a 3/4 sized bed, and as it was settled right underneath the large window at the back of the caravan, you would often leave the blinds open, watching the stars blink in the dark sky as the two of you drifted off to sleep in each others arms. - Jimmy liked to sleep behind you, with your back pressed against his bare chest as you gazed out at the starry sky, often very bright due to the lack of light pollution in your area. - You would both wake up at dawn, when the sun began to rise, and stayed cuddled together as you watched the sun crawl slowly from the horizon up to the sky, the camp quiet at the early hour. - On particularly still summer nights, you and Jimmy would leave the window thrown open as you slept, the cool night air settling over you and lulling you to sleep, the small breezes caressing you face, the rest of body warm beneath your blankets and quilts.
JAMES MARCHÂ
- James adored sleeping beside you. After having a bed to himself for so long, he looked forward to the part of the day when you crawled into bed together. - You opted to go to sleep a few hours earlier than James, but despite this, he would still get into bed with you, pulling you onto him so that you were lying face-down on his chest, his arms tucking you into his body and talking quietly to you until you fell asleep. - Then, he would carefully untangle your limp body from his and quietly slip out from beneath the covers, taking care to tuck the sheets back around your sleeping form and retiring to his office for a few hours before returning to bed and settling himself next to you, ready to sleep. - James, who had always had problems sleeping through the night before the two of you met, would have no trouble falling asleep beside you, listening to the sound of your laboured breathing and looking forward to the morning when you would both wake up tangled together once more.
RORY MONAHAN
- Literally the most annoying person to share a bed with. - If heâs not stealing all the covers from you in his sleep, heâs snoring in your ear for most of the night. - Definitely drools, which wouldnât be a problem if he stayed on his half of the bed, but Rory naturally gravitates towards you, even in sleep, and so whilst youâre lying awake listening to him snore, youâre also worrying about him getting drool in your hair.
KAI ANDERSON
- Although Kai valued his sleep for practical reasons, he still enjoyed cuddling up to you and falling asleep with you tucked away safely in his arms. - You would usually go to bed around the same time, often sleeping in minimal clothing. Kaiâs preferred way to fall asleep was with you against his chest, your stomach pressed into the bed as he lay slightly on top of you, his legs tangling with yours and your hands clutched in his atop the pillows. - He fell asleep very quickly, usually exhausted from long days of planning and cult meetings and was not very tolerant when it came to fidgeting or tossing and turning. If you were having a hard time getting comfortable, he would simply untangle himself from you and roll away with a grunt, cuddling into the duvet on the other side of the bed. - When you woke up, Kai was always gone, his side of the bed long since having gone cold, but you didnât mind, enjoying the time it gave you to stretch yourself out across the bed, straddling Kaiâs pillow and breathing in the scent of him as you drifted in and out of sleep.Â

Campus// Teacher! Peter X Student!Reader
Warning: Student-teacher relationship ( although both are legal age)
This is loosely based on the song Campus by Vampire Weekend
You woke up to the cold air hitting your body as the covers that hugged your body the night before had fallen on the floor. You noticed your bed that was occupied by someone last night was now empty. You brushed it off because you were sure he had a class that morning too. When you checked the time you noticed you had slept through your alarm for class. You quickly hurried to get dress so you wouldnât be late to start your new class for the semester.
School has just started back and this was 1st semester of your senior year and you weâre excited yet a little scared. You had spent the last 4 years living on campus, making new friends, forming relationships, and of course, partying. Last night was no exception. You and your roommate threw a party last night in your apartment and the turnout was pretty wild. You had met this guy Peter last night. You had never seen him before but you assumed he had just transferred from another university. He was a tall brown hair guy with brown eyes. The one thing that drew you to him was that he was super funny and had a really bubbly personality. When you first noticed him he was standing with a group of people. You made your way over to him and introduced yourself. The two of you immediately hit it off. Not long after the party ended you and Peter had made your way to your room and you can imagine what happened next.
After you got dressed, you grabbed everything you needed and made your way out of your apartment to hopefully make it to class on time. As you were speed walking to classes you checked your phone. You noticed you had a message from an unknown number.
âHi, itâs Peter, sorry I had to run off this morning. Had to get ready for my first class. Hope to see you soon
You smiled and replied with a âSee you soon :)â before shoving your phone back in your pocket. You made it to class just in time. You found a sit in the front of the class because your eyesight had never been the best. Once you were settled, you grabbed your laptop and got prepared to take notes. Just then the Professor walked in. You could notice that brown hair and bright smile from a mile away. Peter?
He walked in and wrote his name on the board before turning around to the class. When he saw you his face went pale. He soon got back to reality clearing his throat.
âSorry about that guys. Guess I wasn't expecting so many shining faces this morning. Well, Good Morning class my name is Mr. Parker Iâll be your professor for Advanced Physics 2. Does anyone have any questions for me before we get started?â
A girl in the back raised her hand. Peter gestured for her to proceed with her question.
âMr. Parker how old or you cause you look like you should be sitting up here with usâ
The school erupted in laughter also gaining a chuckle from Peter. You remained quiet because you actually wanted to know the answer. You had left a lot up to your assumptions last night which is why youâre in the situation you are now. Being as that you slept with your professor.
âWell, I am 25. I was a pretty bright kid in high school. I graduated at 16, went straight into college, and earned my doctorate degree around this time last yearâ He answered
The class clapped and congratulated him. He accepted the praise before getting started with the class. The class that day felt like it went on forever. It was just the introduction to the class but it felt like he was teaching a whole lesson because of how anxious you were about what happened. Peter dismissed the class before walking up to you.
âDo you mind staying after for a few minutes please?â He asked
You nodded and finish putting your stuff in your bookbag as the rest of the class cleared out. You walked up to his desk where he had returned to.
âYes Sir?â you questioned you tried to play it off since it was still students in the class
The last student walked out leaving the two of you alone. You let out a big sigh before freaking out.
âHow could you not tell me you were a professor! Why were you at a college party? Oh my gosh, I fucked my professor. Iâm literally living a lifetime movie right now!â Peter walked around his desk and grabbed you trying to calm you down. You eventually calmed down. You looked up into his eyes. They were soft and apologetic.
âI'm sorry (Y/N). I was at the party last night because I have a younger brother that goes here. He wanted to come really bad but he was scared so he asked me to come with him. I tried to tell him it wasnât probably the best idea to be at a party with students but he insisted so I went and Iâm glad I did cause I met you. I know I probably should have told you I was a professor but when I was talking to you it slipped my mind. Iâm really sorry and I understand if you never want to see me again but I would love it if you didâ He explained
You looked into his eyes. He seemed to be telling the truth. You pulled him into a kiss. You could feel him smile into the kiss.
âHow am I supposed to pretend I never wanna see you again?â You smiled
He lifted you up hugging you since he was taller than you. You giggled and kissed him again before he put you back down.
âWell I have to go before my next class starts in 30 minutes and itâs all the way across campus so Iâll see you later?â You questioned
âOf course. Enjoy learningâ He said
You laughed and walked out the door before turning back and waving.

I never considered myself a lucky man. Life had proven time and time again that no matter how many four leaf clovers I set out to search for, how many pennies on the ground faced heads up I stumbled across, luck was never on my side. Iâve learned to live with it, accepted my fate as the worldâs smartest punching bag long before I was even in college.
But then I met her, and as cheesy as it sounds, I didnât need luck that morning.
The second I woke up, the universe seemed to have it out for me specifically. I swung my legs over my bed, and in my half asleep daze stepped on my glasses, successfully breaking them. Unable to see on my short trip to the bathroom, I stubbed my toe⌠twice. Once I finally finished my morning routine more methodically, I walked out of my apartment only to bump into a stranger, sending the coffee she was holding all the both of us.
I had tried to apologize so many times, cutting my words short when they didnât feel right. I had gotten through a series of âIâm, uh, oh, I, you,â before her smile interrupted my thought process, leaving me awestruck instead.
âThatâs okay, but you owe me a coffee now.â She giggled, actually giggled, even with the scorching liquid causing her shirt to stick to her body. âMaybe⌠together?â
I didnât hesitate to agree, taking her up on the offer that weekend and never looking back. Even when a loud crash, followed by a quiet, harsh âshitâ woke me up in a startle, there was no regret. Maybe just a little concern for my girlfriend who now that my eyes have adjusted to the darkness, can be seen holding her knee on the floor of our bedroom.
âHey, I didnât mean to wake you,â she whispered out, grabbing onto the dresser to stand straight again. Once she was on her feet, she came over to sit on the edge of our bed, immediately running her fingers through my hair. If I wasnât so worried about her knee, I probably wouldâve fell asleep again.
âAre you okay?â She giggled at my scratchy morning voice before nodding her head. Itâs then I realized how the sun hasnât even begun to rise, the room still pitchblack. âWhat are you doing up?â
âGetting ready to go to the city, sleepyhead,â she said as if it was the most obvious answer, but truthfully, it left me with more questions.
âAt... 5 am?â I sat up, glancing at the alarm clock three times just to make sure I was reading it right. She may have always been a little strange, but usually at a reasonable hour.
At this, she stood up to continue getting ready for the very early morning. Now I notice why she fell, the piles of clothes leading to the closet had to have at least half of her outfits compiled together.
âWell, yeah. I want to get there before noon.â Even in my perplexed state, I rose from the bed and carefully tiptoed around haphazardly thrown clothes to reach her.
While wrapping my arms around her waist still hidden under my t-shirt, I questioned. âItâs right outside? You have 7 hours.â
She turned to look at me funny as if I wasnât the one digging through clothes and waking up before dawn to walk literally 5 minutes to my desired location. My eyebrows must have subconsciously furrowed at one point, because she brought her hand up to stroke her thumb on my forehead. Immediately, I felt the tension melt, no longer caring to correct my confusion. She still did it anyway.
âNot DC, silly. New York!â I wish it were untrue, but my heart dropped at her words. She was leaving, going to a city I wasnât familiar with beyond reading about, solving cases, and memorizing subway maps. Is this how she feels every time I board that jet?
âW-what? Youâre just going to New York City?â I inwardly cringed at how desperate and sad I sounded, but I really didnât want her to leave.
âMhm,â she mumbled, turning back around to return digging in her closet.
âFor how long?â Please change your mind. Please change your mind. Please change you-
Realizing that I was fully awake, she let out a boisterous laugh, allowing the way it bounced off our four little walls to return back to us. It was a sound most treasured. âI was hoping to get back around 9.â
âWhat?â I leaned back to look at her like she was absolutely preposterous. I mean, she was!
âRoadtrip!â
Thatâs how I found myself in the passenger seat of her car, no coffee in my hand because I wasnât allowed until I have âa real cup of coffee.â Whatever the hell that means better happen soon, because as much as I loved watching the way she concentrates on the road in front of her, my eyes were starting to droop.
âItâs going to be another 4 hours. You can sleep, my love.â How she knew me so well, I will never be able to figure out, but I was out before we even made it across state borders.
That however, didnât last very long. My girlfriend may be short and sweet, but behind the wheel? Thatâs a different story. The horn to her car is a very familiar sound when Iâm jolted awake by a sudden stop.
âReally, asshole? Go!â She yelled, slamming her hand against the top of the steering wheel before looking over at me. âHey, Iâm so sorry I didnât mean to wake you yet. I forgot how awful drivers are here.â
âWhere is here exactly?â I questioned, sitting up from my slouched position to find cars practically on top of each other on a road not wide enough for two lanes.
âNew Jersey. Weâre 10 minutes away.â Wow, I didnât realize I slept for that long, and I have to admit Iâm a little surprised I wasnât woken up sooner.
âHow are we 10 minutes away? Itâs at least another 30 to get to the tunnel.â Looking at our surroundings didnât help me determine our exact location. To the left of us, there were dozens of graffiti murals on the side of what I assumed was another elevated highway. To the right, sidestreets with local businesses ranging from auto repair shops to fast food joints to gyms.
âNuh uh, stop analyzing mister. Youâll know when we get there.â She waved a finger in my directions, putting a pin in my scrutinization. I pouted right back, successfully playing along to the theme of her scolding me like a 5 year old.
âI donât like surprises you know.â It was the truth, but her contagious laughter that filled the car made me slightly less disinclined to stop asking questions.
âOh I know, but trust me, youâll like this one.â She went to go reach over to grab my hand from where it was resting in my lap, but stopped short and retracted in favor of slamming the horn. âOh, come on!â
***
âSo you drove to a train station... in New Jersey?â I asked while she was⌠attempting to park the car.
âWell, yeah. Iâve been taking this route since I was a little girl.â Once she finally figured out how to evenly space a two door convertible in a very spacious parking spot, she unbuckled her seatbelt, and was quick to grab her bag from the backseat. âWell, come on mister, weâre going to miss the train.â
To be quite honest, I have never been so lost in my life. I could probably pinpoint our exact location on a map if I wanted to, granted I was given any sort of information, but part of me didnât want to. Scratch that, all of me didnât want to, because my entire life has been planned out in front of me before, but right now, I get to be spontaneous with the most beautiful girl on the planet.
âDonât let go of my hand,â she told me, lacing our fingers together and pulling me forward. âDonât stop to look around, you will get pushed.â
We made it inside, and if I thought the DC transit system was bustling with people constantly, this place was so much worse. There were hallways left and right, all packed with people in a rush. It seems everybody had some place to be and zero time to get there.
âUpstairs.â We walked up two flights before reaching a platform, buying our tickets and making it just in time for a train to arrive. âI know they come every 8 minutes, but thank god we made this one,â she said as she sat down.
The cart we were in wasnât too crowded, and once I finally found a map on the wall across from us, I saw that it was a direct ride to the World Trade Center.
âYou said you took this train when you were little?â
âYeah, I went to the city a lot as a kid. This was the easiest, and the cheapest way there.â A small smile played at her lips, obviously the product of some childhood memory. âI used to hop it.â
âOf course you did,â I laughed back with her, thinking about how an innocent looking child would be the first person to get away with sneaking onto the train.
***
âI said it before, I will say it again. Do not let go of my hand.â This time it was more stern, and if I were being honest, I would say that it got me the slightest bit nervous. She must have noticed, she always does, because she continued. âDonât worry, it just gets congested and I donât want to lose you.â
She was right about that, it indeed was very congested, but that was okay because she was holding my hand, and I would follow her just about anywhere if it meant she kept looking over her shoulder and smiling when she saw me. Once we made it across the way, and in front of heavy looking glass doors, she turned to me and started walking backwards.
âYou okay? This is definitely not off to a great start.â She was wrong, it was off to a perfect start.
âYeah, Iâm okay, but you might want to watch where youâre going,â I said before her back hit the door.
âPlease I can get here with my eyes closed.â And then we were outside, and all 5 of my senses were hit immediately. The sun was shining down on us, and before I could complain about not bringing my sunglasses, she handed them to me. My heart fluttered at the innocent act, taking the sunglasses with such gratitude even though she had already moved on to retrieve hers. âDo you smell that?â She asked.
âThere are a lot of answers to that question,â I told her, not knowing if she was talking about the smell of the construction happening at the corner, the permanent garbage smell or something entirely different.
âThe hotdogs, silly. Come on, thereâs nothing like âem.â This time, I laced our fingers together, not because I was scared of losing her, I was, but I just really wanted to be closer to her. She didnât mind, in fact, she let out a content hum and leaned her head on my arm as we walked to the stand.
âCan I get four hotdogs with sauerkraut and two grape sodas,â she asked the vendor, who politely nodded before moving on to prepare our food.
âYouâre going to have a heart attack by 35,â I said as I nudged her with my shoulder. She gave me a small push back before answering.
âIs that a doctorâs diagnosis?â She asked as she took our now ready food into her hands, after paying the man before I even had time to blink. I just grabbed the two cans of soda and followed her where she was making a beeline for a park bench. âWatch out for skaters.â
âYes, it is indeed a doctor's diagnosis.â I unwrapped one of the hotdogs before taking a bite. I closed my eyes and let out a content hum. âIt may be a little worth it.â
âExactly.â We sat there quietly, enjoying the warm weather and sounds of wheels against pavement. At one point, she rested her head against my shoulder, and I am convinced wherever she went would be Heaven.
***
âAre your eyes closed?â We found ourselves with both our hands interlocked, my eyes closed while she walked backwards. I gave an âmhmâ before she continued. âWeâre here, just keep them closed, andâŚâ her words trailed off. âOkay open.â
I opened my eyes to her holding her arms out in the middle of the largest bookstore Iâve ever seen. âSurprise!â My eyes were bouncing everywhere. It wasnât too crowded, the large stairwell across the store catching my eye first. There were bookshelves tens of feet high, all loaded with different genres and authors. To the right of us, tiny knick knacks and pins and socks. It was beautiful.
âWow,â I whispered out, still stuck in my place admiring our surroundings. She was beaming up at me, a hint of pride at her successfulness to drag me 6 hours away to the most beautiful place Iâve ever seen.
âThe Strand has always been my favorite place in the city. Come on, letâs go explore.â She grabbed my hands again, pulling me deeper into the store towards a shelf labeled adult fiction.
***
Six books, three pairs of socks and a postcard later, we were back on the busy streets of New York, aimlessly walking and admiring the tall buildings and different attractions. Well she was, I was admiring the way she was looking around like it was her first time here. Maybe I should have been paying more attention to our surroundings, but no amount of skyscrapers or fountains could possibly ever match up to her level of beauty.Â
âHave I ever told you how much I love you?â I asked randomly, startling her into jumping a tiny bit before giggling. She stopped us, turning to face me fully before reaching up to grab my face in her hands.
âOnce or twice.â The kiss we shared on the New York streets were no different than the ones before, but this time, it felt like a silent promise. A passing between two lovers that no matter where we are, our love is the most beautiful thing there is. âI love you too, dork.â

JIN
You had spent weeks racking your brain for some sort of answer, for an explanation why you suddenly thought your friend and neighbor from down the hall was the only person for you. It had happened so quickly, you didnât even realize. One night youâre watching a movie together, something youâve done at least once a month, and the next thing you know your heart is racing at the idea of him being in the same room as you. You had no idea why you started to feel this way, but the instant you realized, you couldnât stop yourself from constantly watching him, thinking of him, wondering what in the world you were gonna do.
You were currently on the phone with your best friend, complaining to her for the hundredth time about how rude it was that Jin thought it was perfectly normal to walk around the laundry room shirtless, âI mean come on f/n, heâs so hot it should be illegal. The man has the body of a god, and I as an innocent bystander should at least be given a warning before walking into it!â
âWhat do you mean âwalked into itâ?â she asked, amusement in her voice, and you groaned.
âI was doing laundry the other day, and I ran right into him as he was leaving the room, I dropped my clothes everywhere, and he totally saw my underwear and bras, but thatâs not the point, the point is that he was shirtless, he was laughing at his clumsiness, and it was the hottest thing I had ever seen.â
It was at that moment that Jin had walked up to your door, preparing to ask you to borrow your hammer, when he heard your voice faintly through the wall.
âF/n, I donât know what to do, Iâve literally never felt this way about someone before, and itâs not like I can even say anything, we barely know each other--yes I know weâve hung out before, but everything feels different now, I donât know what Iâm going to do. Iâll probably pass out the next time I see him, and if heâs not wearing a shirt again, oh my fucking god, plan my funeral please.â
Jin laughed quietly, deciding he could ask for the hammer later, he had other plans to attend to, like making sure to ask you about this supposed incident the next time he was in the laundry room; shirt conveniently off for your viewing pleasure.
YOONGI
âHey I have a question,â Yoongi mused, turning down the radio. You and Yoongi were on your way to a cabin up north, planning to meet some friends there for a fun weekend getaway. Youâd been on the road for almost two hours now, and he had decided that it was time to break the silence that had settled between the two of you.
âYeah whatâs up?â you asked, closing your book, and setting it in your bag. You waited as he beat his fingers rhythmically against the steering wheel.
âWhoâs Voldemort?â you froze in your seat, and turned to him slowly, gauging his expression. How the hell did he know about that?
âWhy do you ask?â you said slowly, thankful for your sunglasses that hid your panicked expression.
âWhen you asked me to grab your bag from your room, there was an envelope addressed to âVoldemortâsitting on it. Do you have a pen pal or something?â
No, no you did not have a pen pal. Stupidly, you had written your feelings to Yoongi out on paper, an ode to all the boys iâve loved before. You  planned to store it away forever, never to be read again, in hopes of riding this stupid crush from your heart. All you wanted was peace, and the ability to hang with him without the looming cloud of love stalling over your head, but you must have forgotten to put it away before you left.
âUh, no, no itâs not that,â you muttered, trying you best to sound nonchalant. âJust a letter I was writing to someone, probably wonât send it though.â
âTheir name isnât actually Voldemort, is it?â
You laughed, âNo itâs not. Itâs a pseudonym, my friends and I used it all the time to talk about boys we liked in middle school.â
Yoongi sat in silence for a second, and you hoped that that was the end of the conversation. âDo you like this Voldemort?â
You paled, and cleared your throat. âUh, I donât know, itâs complicated. Iâm trying to get over them, so itâs probably best to not talk about it.â
Yoongi nodded, and didnât say much for a while, and you assumed that was the end of it, thank god. The drive went on in silence, and you calmed down a bit, mentally cheering for evading a disastrous situation. You even talked with Yoongi about other topics like the weekends upcoming events, and how excited you were to try this new soju flavor. It was nice, peaceful, and definitely less stressful then the previous conversation. That was until you both started talking about college and first impressions. You had been explaining your thoughts on your other friends Namjoon and Lia when he stopped you.
âWait,â he said suddenly, âDidnât you and Lia have nicknames for everyone?â
âYeah, we made up nicknames for everyone based on Harry Potter characters...â you said, trailing off on the end as you connected the dots.
âYeah!â Yoongi exclaimed, oblivious. âLike yours was Ginny, Joonâs was Lupin, mine was..â he paused, looking over at you suspiciously. âMine was Voldemordt, right?â
You shook your head, âNoooo, yours was something else I think.â
âHmm, no Iâm pretty sure it was Voldemordt,â he said. âCause you and Lia always joked about how I was pale just like him,â You didnât say anything in response, instead finding the dirt under your nails way more interesting.
âY/n...â he called, pulling you from your thoughts. You didnât look at him, too embarrassed to talk about it. âHey, itâs fine, seriously.â
âAh, can we please not talk about it,â you whined, putting your head in your hands. This was so awkward. You had written a middle school crush letter to the man sitting right next to you, and you still had to spend the whole weekend and ride back with him, great.
âOkay,â he said simply, tapping rhythmically on the steering wheel again. âI guess Iâll just have to wait to read it.â
âOh no way, youâre not reading it!â you yelled, facing him as adrenaline raced through your veins. âIâm burning it the second we get back.â
âBut why? I wanna hear all the nice things you said about me, you never compliment me in person.â
âShut up,â you said, a blush blossoming on your cheeks. He laughed, lightly swatting your knee.
âSo mean,â he teased. He lifted his hand to pull your hand from your face. You looked up, surprised by his action. He was never one for skinship, especially with you. âYou know Iâm joking, right?â
You nodded, âYeah, no, I do, no worries, itâs fineâ
âGood,â he said simply, bringing his hand back down the arm rest, except he hadnât let go of your hand, so yours followed suit, held in his grasp. You stared intently at your intertwined hands, and then looked at him, confused. He was staring straight ahead, but you could see the smile forming on his face, and the red hue on his cheeks as well. Looks like you werenât the only one with a secret.
HOSEOK
Hey y/n! Do you have a copy of the notes from last class that I can borrow?
You smiled at your phone, Hoseok had definitely slept through class again this week, and as always, you were more than willing to share notes, any excuse to talk to him, right?
Yeah for sure! Give me one sec and Iâll send you a link to my notes
You had always preferred to take notes on your computer, you could type way faster than you could write, so in fast-paced lectures it just made sense. You found the document within a folder the two of you shared information. With Hoseok consistently sleeping through one class every other week, and you having such detailed notes, it made much more sense to just put all your notes in a folder he could access. You found the latest document with your notes, and quickly shared it with him.
Just sent it now, itâs in the folder with all the other ones in case you need them too! Let me know if you have any questions!
Sounds great, thank youuuuu!!!
You grinned at his response before going back to your studying. He usually had questions, so you were a little surprised when he never texted you back. You figured maybe he understood it better than you, and made a mental note to ask him some questions next time you saw him. You went about the rest of your day, finishing up your homework, getting your laundry washed and put away, and four hours later, still no word from Hoseok.
âSo weird,â you mumbled to yourself as you grabbed your keys. You had talked about meeting him for dinner tonight, so you wondered if he was still up for it.
Hey are you still up for dinner tonight? Hope studying is going well!
After 10 minutes, and no response, you grew worried and annoyed, so you decided to just walk over to his place yourself. The walk was short, you jammed the whole way, wondering what youâd get tonight, and hoping that your professor would put out grades soon. Walking into the dorm, you passed a number of doors before standing outside Hoseokâs.
You knocked three times, and waited patiently for him to answer. The door creaked open slowly, and you watched as his head appeared in the crack. He stared at you and said nothing.
You cleared your throat, âUh, hey. I texted, but you didnât answer, are you still down for dinner tonight?â He said nothing still, and you sighed. âItâs fine if youâre busy, I can go. Text me next time youâre free to hang.â You didnât mean to sound annoyed, but you were hurt, confused why he was acting this way all of the sudden, especially with no explanation. Waving goodbye, you turned on your heel and walked down the hallway. You made it about three steps before he called out your name.
âY/n, wait, Iâm sorry.â turning around, confused, you saw him open the door. âPlease come in.â He gave you a half smile, and you sighed, ignoring the smile that sat on your face as you entered his dorm. It was dark, his blinds were drawn, and it looked like a hurricane had come through here, which was odd since he was usually so clean.
âHey what happened here? Everything okay?â you asked, worried, when you turned to face him he was standing by his desk, computer in hand.
âI--I, um, need you to read this,â he said, handing you his computer. You raised an eyebrow, and turned the computer around. As your eyes adjusted to the bright screen in the otherwise dark room, your heart dropped into your stomach.
It was about a week ago when you wrote a letter to Hoseok. It was 2 in the morning, you were so tired, but you couldnât sleep, the whirlwind of thoughts running through your mind were too much to handle, so you wrote them all down. Wrote down everything you wanted to say, and closed your computer, never intending to read it again. What you had failed to notice that night was that you created the document inside a folder, the very folder you shared with the man in front of you. You had carelessly titled the document to hoseok so itâs no surprise that he clicked on it, he probably thought it was a funny message to him, but instead he got a look right inside your heart.
You looked up to see him already watching you closely. He looked pained, confused, and most of all angry. âWhy would you say those things?â
âI, I, uh--â you paused, you knew at the time it was wrong to write them. He had a girlfriend, theyâve been together for almost a year, and they were so happy together, and you had no problem with that. You loved Julia, and had even introduced the two, but you also couldnât help how you felt, you had no intention of him ever reading this, you felt awful. âI swear, I didn't realize this was in here, Hoseok Iâm so sorry.â
âBut you wrote it, and put it in this folder, you must have known I would have seen it at some point.â he protested, coming closer to you.
âI swear, I didnât do it on purpose, I opened it in the wrong folder, I, oh my god, Hoseok I swear to god I never wanted you to read that.â you said, tears filling your eyes. You had jeopardized everything with your carelessness. He took the computer from your hands and set it on the desk. You couldnât look him in the eyes as he sat next to you on his bed.
âI believe you,â he said quietly, and you nodded. âIâm sorry thereâs not more I can say.â
You shook your head, âWhy are you apologizing, itâs not your fault. I was the one who put it in the wrong folder. At least the worst part is over though,â you laughed weakly at the statement, the worst was far from over, but at least you could stop staying up at night wondering what he thought about you. âIâm sorry that youâre in such a weird position, I promise that Iâm working on it, Iâve been trying to get over it.â
âYou donât have to apologize for what you feel, y/n.â he said, standing up in front of you. âThis is nobodyâs fault, letâs go get dinner and talk it out, yeah?â
You smiled at his attempt to smooth things over, you agreed, but a part of you wondered as you walked out the door how long it would last before you grew distant and never spoke again. For now, youâd cherish these last few memories with him, and always remember the times before it.
NAMJOON
âJust say it,â
âNo!â
âWhy not?!â
âCause I already told you no!â you sighed in annoyance, flipping through another page in the magazine you were currently reading, or trying to read at least, until Namjoon showed up and rudely interrupted you.
âCome on, yân, I need to practice!â you laughed at him, practice? What in the world was he thinking?
âYouâre not seriously saying you want to practice this,â you said, setting down the magazine and facing him. He looked at you, and you realized he was serious. âUgh, fine.â
He grinned, happy that he had finally convinced you to help him out. All of this started about a week ago when Namjoon caught wind that a girl in his bio class had a crush on him, the man absolutely lost it, so flustered and confused, he didnât know what to do. You felt like you were watching a cheesy romantic comedy with the way he came to you, pacing back and forth in your living room. He was totally clueless, had no idea what to do, and came to you for help. You had been around the block a time or two when it came to dealing with situations like this, so it was no surprise that he wanted your expertise on how to politely reject someone.
It wasnât that the girl in Namjoonâs bio class was awful or anything like that, it was the fact that Namjoon barely had time to live his own life, let alone make room for someone else. You were lucky if you spoke to him once a week, you practically had a heart attack when he showed up today. He explained to you the rumor he had heard, and how he had also heard that she was going to confess after their next class together. All of that combined was enough to stress the man into oblivion, so he desperately asked for your help.
ây/n thank you so much, I just donât want to hurt her feelings, you know?â
âYouâre literally the nicest person I know, thereâs no way she would leave feeling anything but mildly sad, knowing you, you'd probably offer to pay for her bus fare home.â The look on his face had you laughing as it looked as though he was seriously considering it. âIâm kidding, Joon. Donât do that.â
âWhat?â he said, âI definitely wasnât gonna do that.â
You smirked at his obvious lie, âWhatever, letâs get this over with.â Taking a breath, you tried to get into character: a biology girl who likes Namjoon. âHey Namjoon,â you said, trying to sound flirty and leaned casually on the side of the couch.
âHey, y/n-â
âDonât use my name,â you laughed, âuse her name.â
âOh okay,â he said, and he took a breath before looking into your eyes, âHey, Emily. Whatâs up?â
âNothing much, I actually had something I wanted to talk to you about,â you said, getting up from the couch, and walking over to where he stood by the kitchen island.
âOh whatâs that?â he asked, moving away from you just a bit. Your act must have been spot on, you smirked.
âI have feelings for you, Joon.â you said, trying to sound nervous and excited, however the hell someone sounded when they admitted their feelings. You were never one to discuss such personal topics, probably the reason why you were single at 23, but whatever, you liked it that way. Poor Namjoon looked terrified, and youâd take being single over being the cause of a situation like this any day.
âOh,â he said simply, and you raised your eyebrows at him. âI-oh, Iâm sorry, y/n--Emily, Iâm way too busy for a relationship right now, Iâm sorry.â
You grinned at his attempt, it was weak, but youâd work on it. By the end of the night, heâd be confident and sound sure of his feelings, you could feel it.Â
âOkay,â you said, patting his shoulder. âThat was good, but next time sound more sure of yourself, your reasons are perfectly valid, and if sheâs as nice as you say she is, Iâm sure sheâll understand. Again.â

Corpse husband x cottagecore! Reader headcanon
Just a cottagecore esque thing where itâs readers birthday and they throw a big meet up/sleepover thing.
Fem reader just bc. Mentions wearing a dress/skirt
A/N: uhhh leave me alone Ik I have a series in the works that I havenât written for in months. Leave me alone đ not edited pls itâs rlly not good , as well as written at 6 am. Based on a maladaptive daydream I had for like a week straight. I could turn this into a real fic if anyone wants it but like ahaha I can barely write once a year đđ¤đť I will probably reread it and fix it later but as of now you get what you get. I literally just typed this on my phone with no sleep so like đ¤đ¤Ş
Originally posted by datchidatchi
A little background, Y/N lives in a medium sized cottage esque house. She has a small garden in her back yard, as well as a free roam fluffy brown cow named dellie, and a big chicken coop. As well as a duck that roams the property and a couple of other animals. As well as a huge flower field a little off the premises. (All of this is infact important.)
Itâs Your 23rd birthday, and for this big occasion you decided to invite over all your friends, even those who live outside of the country, to your small home in the middle of nowhere. This would be the meetup that would break the internet.
Many people were invited. The typical among us group:Jack, Felix, Rae, Sykunno, Toast, Poki, and even Corpse who was given the option even tho the likelihood was low given the situation.
A few SMP friends you had made through association were also invited: Karl, Alex, Nick etc.
Many people, lots of fun.
The morning of your birthday, You awoke to many messages and posts for your birthday. Lots of bomb selfies on the feed as well as #HAPPYBDAYY/N trending on Twitter. Along with this, you were greeted with a few texts from your non American friends stating that they arrived safely or that they were checking into the hotel rooms they had booked for the weekend.
When the time came for the party, most of the people had managed to show up. The party was in full swing, everyone had a drink in hand, posting pictures, celebrating being together as well as it being your birthday.
Filling the trending tab on Twitter with so many hashtags
Around 10 pm you got a call from corpse and decided to head upstairs to get some peace and quiet from the loud music in your living room.
Answering the phone the conversation wasnât anything special, corpse wishing you the fourth happy birthday for that day, as well as asking how everything was going. It was a normal conversation, that was, until his breath hitched and his voice started to quiver as he grew quiet, barely mumbling. Asking what was wrong, corpse went on a small tangent about how he wished he was more confident with his looks, how he wished it wasnât scary showing his closest friends what he looked like etc. and how he wished he could be there at the party with everyone.
âCorpse Iâve told you 100 times. I understand your situation and itâs ok that you couldnât show up. I donât hold it against you, but I didnât want you to feel left out :))â
âWhat would you say if I said I just pulled up in an Uber and Iâm absolutely terrified of whatâs gonna happen?â
Sneaking out of the back door as quickly as possible and running to the front lawn preparing herself. Corpse steps out of the car and You just jump in his arms. like full on koala grip on this man.
Holding his face and just showering him with compliments. Lots of reassurance and sweet nothings.
Heading to the back porch in order to allow him to calm down and prepare. The two end up sitting outside in the dark talking for like 30 minutes.
Finally working up the courage to head inside. You hold his hand the whole time and you see his hands start to shake.
Stepping into the living room, Jack noticing corpse was there, smiling but not saying anything after realizing heâs nervous. Meeting eveyone for the first time really being hard on him. No one else knowing what he looks like so no one really has a reaction
âLook who I foundâ
âOh Y/N!! We were wondering where you ran off too. Whoâs your friend?â
Corpse just hits them with a âuhh, hi đ¤â
Everyone freaking out as soon as they realize who it is and trying to talk to him.
Phones were put away for most of the night in fear of leaking anything.
You going the extra step to check everyoneâs camera rolls (with consent of course) just incase and deleting any photo with any form of corpes face.
A group selfie with just corpseâs hand doing a peace sign
Many drunk escapades
Everyone finding a place to crash for the night. Some staying awake on their phones, some heading to hotels, some alresdy passed out for the night.
You check in on corpse before you head to bed, knowing today was a lot for him.
âSurprisingly? One of the best nights Iâve had in awhile :))â
Heading off to bed.
6 am rolls around and ms Y/N is up at the crack of dawn to do morning chores for the small farm.
Cute hobbit esque dress. Brown skirt, off the shoulder white flowy shirt tucked in, white frilly apron, brown corset belt Etc. you know the fit
Walking down the stairs, you see corpse on his phone in the dark sitting at her dining room table. Everyone was still asleep and it seemed like corpse hadnât even slept a wink. You know, his insomnia and all.
âWhat are you doing awake? Itâs only 6 am and you partied pretty hard last night?â
âFarm life doesnât stop for a hangover, but I could ask you the same thing mister :) come on you can help me outâ
Corpse is 100% not dressed to do anything outside, especially not any farm work.
Tells him to wait on the back porch while she gathers some stuff from the house. coming out with a messenger bag as well as a basket and a blanket.
Sets everything down and continues to feed the animals with corpse, asking him to grab the big bucket of feed. showing him the ropes, filling up everyoneâs water dishes. Collecting eggs etc.
Corpse just watching you with a smile on his face. Your just talking to all your animals, yelling at fiesty hens for pecking at your legs and/or talking to Gerald the duck for getting in the way.
Corpse lowkey obsessed with dellie the cow. Pets her and coos for like 5 minutes straight.
When they finish the sun is barely rising everything still looks like a silhouette from far enough away. putting what needs to go inside away, and then grabbing the messenger bag off the porch.
Dragging corpse to the flower field just down the hill at the edge of the property.
Laying out the blanket and sitting just talking for hours.
You plays music from your phone through a small speaker, dancing around and twirling, lost in your own world.
Corpseâs Instagram story is just full of videos and pictures of you in the sunrise, small captions like happy birthweek to the most amazing person Ik. Or damn who knew farm girl had moves.
Literally 30+ story posts at 7 am.
Corpse takes a picture of you making a flower crown. Shadows cast across your skin, the small bit of sunrise light casting a soft golden glow. The field of flowers all around. Literally goddess worthy.
Fans going crazy reposting the pictures, spamming Twitter etc.
His camera roll is FULL of pictures of her.
Giving corpse A flower crown full of an array of wild flowers
Dancing together. Just twirling and laughing.
City boy corpse loving the farm life
Secretly of course
Relaxing and just sitting with eachother as it slowly reaches 10 am.
âUh, thanks for this morning, I had a lot of fun.â A small sleepy smile on his face. The flower crown crooked on his messy curls as he just stares into your eyes.
You both end up leaning in for a kiss bumping noses as you gently pull away
Definitely the best birthday gift you could have asked for
Heading back inside to see how everyoneâs doing.
Rae being one of the few awake asking where the two of you had been seeing it was already around noon
âThose of us awake took it upon ourselves to raid your kitchen sorry not sorryâ
Corpse getting sleepy wanting to take a nap seeing as it was noon and he was running on little to no sleep.
You let him rest in your bed as you occupy everyone downstairs
Everyone leaving around 3 pm, corpse is still asleep so you go outside to check on all the animals once again.
Letting Gerald in the house bc heâs being a pain in the ass.
When you come into the house you see corpse coming down the stairs rubbing his eyes and streatching. His shirt twisted and raising slightly, the jewelry and chains he was wearing now gone.
Giving him a good âmorningâ kiss.
The day is filled with you cooking for him. Making fun of his foil troubles, watching movies, laughing and overall joking.
Spending the rest of the night cuddling together and making the most of the time you had together.
Making things between you official
â¨Extraâ¨
When you post about eachother to tell the fans that the two of you have been dating for like 6 months the captions are wild.
Corpse is like âugh look at my gorgeous girlfriend, so pretty, so nice and kind, the most amazing person everâ just full on simp. The pictures he uses are from the morning after your birthday.
Your picture is just you guys holding hands. His usual chains and jewelry. Caption just âeww a city boy đ¤Ž, gotta take all the love I can get thoâ

Hi I just saw the Ukai request thing and I was wondering if I could get some head cannons of anyone on the team, falling hard for ukais daughter or niece
This was so fun to write! I never actually imply this in the request but the reader is adopted cause itâs more inclusive that way! I chose Daichi and Tanaka cause they seem like they would have Ukai react way differently!
Daichi & Tanaka Going Out With Ukaiâs Daughter HC
âŁDaichi
Okay so Daichi, being the captain and all, if thereâs one thing he is really good at, it is respecting authority and understanding the chain of command
Heâs worked from being a mere first-year peasant to being the daddy captain we all know and love
Thatâs why when he starts to catch feelings for Ukaiâs daughter, he does his best to never step over the line because he doesnât want to disrespect his family in any wayÂ
It all started when you would show up to practice since Ukai didnât want you alone at home but he gave everyone the speech to keep their eyes off of his kid
He made it a point to point out that you were his only child, his only daughter and that he would crack skulls without hesitation if any of the boys made you uncomfortableÂ
And yes, He looked at Tanaka and Noya the whole time because I swear theyâll simp for anything with two legs and a heartbeatÂ
Daichi doesnât catch feelings for you right away though. He acknowledges that youâre pretty but it isnât until you two slowly started to get to know each other more and more when Daichi realizes how hard he is falling for you
Heâs sometimes a bit scared to make a move during volleyball practice since your dad is always like two feet away but you two share a class so you can bet your ass that heâs always sitting next to you and making up any excuse to talk to you
The two of you arenât even dating but he is already so whipped for youÂ
Exhibit A
One day before practice, you complained that you had broken your headphones so without even asking you, he rushed to his house to get his pair and came back all sweaty and red, handing them over to youÂ
Exhibit B
Your favorite drink was stuck in the vending machine and you couldnât shake it hard enough to make it drop but Daichi went over and bought four drinks so that way it could knock yours overÂ
Like youâre telling me that isnât the cutest shit ever? Are my standards just low? ANYWAYSÂ
You eventually catch feelings for him cause duh look at him heâs perfect but you know that if it were to get more serious, Daichi would have to talk to your dadÂ
You knew you couldnât go behind your dadâs back so telling him was the best and only optionÂ
The whole time during practice, Daichi was nervous as hell. He really liked you but he also really respected his coach so he wasnât even sure exactly how to go about itÂ
But when you gave his hand a light squeeze, it gave him a big boost of confidence cause screw it, you were worth it
So Daichi sucks it up and the two of you go up to Coach Ukai and he is such a confident and respectful dude he doesnât even stutter
â Coach Ukai, I want you to be the first to know that I have feelings for your daughter and she feels the same way about me. I know youâre protective of her but I would never do anything to hurt her, I can promise you that. If itâs okay with you, Iâm planning to take her on a date this weekend if you would let me.â
â Nope.â Ukai said simply as you whined and gave your dad the biggest puppy dog eyes
â DAD!â You scolded as Ukai rolled his eyes,â Come on, wouldnât you rather me date the captain of a team that you can always keep an eye on than I donât know, some asshole from a different team?â
â Why does he have to be in volleyball in the first place? Better yet, why do you even need to date a boy? Are you trying to kill me?â Your dad asked as he looked between the two of youÂ
Ukai did realize deep down that Daichi was arguably the best option you had-He rather you be with Daichi than anyone else around your age group.
A part of Ukai knew that while he loved to see Daichi squirm, he really was a good guy and he just liked giving him a hard timeÂ
â Fine, have her home by ten.â
â What about ten-thirty?â You asked as Daichi squeezed your hand and shook his head
â No itâs okay, ten works just fine,â Daichi smiled back as Ukai couldnât help but smirk because yep, you picked a good oneÂ
Fast forward to your date and Daichi is outside your house dressed SO NICELY boy has a hot ass button up and everythingÂ
And duh he has flowers for you heâs so cute Iâm simping yallÂ
Obviously, Ukai opens the door and just shakes his head when he sees Daichi all nervous
â No touching, I mean it kid. There has to be at least three feet between the two of you at all times and remember, if you ever hurt her I will personally bring a bat over to your house and-âÂ
â Oh my god please stop, weâll see you later!â You slip past your dad and grab Daichiâs arm to pull him down the driveway
â I SAID NO TOUCHING!âÂ
âŁTanaka
Okay so you know how I said that Coach Ukai wouldnât be too opposed with you going out with Daichi? Yeahhhh Tanaka is definitely one of the guys he much rather you not go out with at all
I honestly think Ukai sees so much of his younger self in Tanaka and that freaks him out
ANYWAY Lets go to the beginning tho
Tanaka first knows that he is crushing hard on you when he said the stupidest joke in class and of course, you were the only one to laugh cause lets be real, your sense of humor is pretty shit thanks to the internetÂ
And tanaka is like â mhm yes Iâll marry you nowâ cause bruh no one laughs at my mans jokes he is SLEPT ONÂ
You two start hanging out and pretty quickly, you both are crushing extra hard on each other. Itâs only been maybe like a week or two and you two are so uwu with each other itâs insane
One day before practice, you give him a quick kiss outside of the gym but Tanaka is a certified Clingy Boy⢠so he pulls you back in for another one thatâs much longerÂ
â WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUâRE DOING!âÂ
You both whip your heads around to find Coach Ukai with literal smoke coming out of his ears as he is glaring so hard at TanakaÂ
Tanakaâs headass is like âoh im probably getting yelled at for PDA or maybe I lost track of time and Iâm late to practiceâ but oh boy is he wrong
Idk if you guys collectively share one braincell or whatever but it just clicks now for you that â oh shit, we are so fuckedâÂ
â Dad, I can explain-â
Tanaka doesnât even hear the rest of the conversation like his brain shuts down when he hears you say the word DadÂ
And heâs thinking in his head that maybe you just call coaches dad for some weird reason but no, Ukai is actually your dad
Thereâs so much yelling that the rest of the Karasuno members are outside of the gym doors listening in on the conversation because theyâre nosey as hellÂ
Noya is definitely conflicted because heck yes, his boy is dating a female but he also wants to laugh because of course, Tanaka is having bad luckÂ
Suga thinks it is HILARIOUSÂ
But anyway
After a whole bunch of yelling, Ukai just says screw it and starts practice and you promise that youâll talk to him at home but he makes you stay in the gym so he can take you straight home after
BRUH during the whole practice Tanaka does soooooo bad like hes nervous and he feels so guilty
Obviously, if he knew about your dad he wouldâve planned it out much better and even ask for his blessing but it was too late to be worrying about what he couldâve doneÂ
â Donât be hard on him please. I swear, it didnât even click that you were his coach and I didnât want to go behind your back like that,â You said as your dad sat down next to you on the bench as the boys did drills,â but you overreacted. You know heâs sensitive and heâs going to keep beating himself up about it.âÂ
â How do you think I feel seeing my daughter kiss a boy? Why canât you wait until youâre thirty to have a boyfriend? â Ukai knew you were at the age where he couldnât keep you away from boys but he was just so protectiveÂ
You were his only kid but because you were his daughter, it only complicated things
I already know Ukai raised such a big daddyâs girl (not in a weird way yall) and while he knows he raised you to be super strong, he just wants to protect you from heartache
â I really like him and he makes me happy and I promise, we wonât even interact with each other if we are around you if it makes you uncomfortable.â
That wasnât the most comforting thought to Ukai but he knew he was wrapped around your finger and that he would eventually cave in
It took some time for him to get used to the two of you being together. You two never went on any dates at first because Tanaka wanted to ease your dad into the idea of you two being together
But it wasnât until Ukai saw how protective Tanaka was whenever you would come along to tournaments that Ukai started to feel better at the ideaÂ
Like Tanaka would go FERAL if a guy even looked at you the wrong way and Ukai was secretly like â yeah you tell em!âÂ
It was actually comforting to Ukai that you were dating someone who would literally lay their life on the line for you at any given moment because as your dad, he would do the same
So after a few weeks, it was actually Ukai who went up to Tanaka to talk about the two of you going on dates
â You have my blessing but just know, if you even look at my daughter the wrong way, I will kill you, no questions asked.âÂ
Tanaka was actually relieved because to him, that was such an easy request. He couldnât even imagine hurting you or ever making you upset so he was already thinking of date ideas once Ukai finished his sentence

fluff alphabet || poe dameron
a/n: for @jangohshitâ!! sorry this was so lateâi thought it was queued already but oh welp ,.,.,., thank u for being literally one of the best mutuals anyone could ever ask for <3 also leia is peak mom material in this friendly warning :) angst to fluff thrown in, as well
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
we all know heâs the most affectionate person ever despite his seemingly intimidating personaâhe loves giving you forehead kisses, back hugs, and picking you up and spinning you around when he gets the chance.Â
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
the friendship started because leia had introduced you to him. you ended up clicking right away and spent nearly every waking moment you had together to the point that the entire black squadron would joke about how you and poe shared one functional braincell (i mean, they werenât entirely wrong). heâs very overprotectiveâone time you tripped and fell off a ladder while helping rey fix something and he was freaking out about it more than you were. and you were completely fine, asides from a few scratches. again, the squadron loves teasing him about his âmama bearâ persona that he develops when heâs around you
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
YES. poe absolutely loves cuddling. heâll take any chance he gets to hug youâwhether thatâs hugging you from behind during meetings, running into your arms when reuniting after a mission, or wrapping his arms around you as you relaxed with him and the others by the campfire several nights. you rarely ever slept alone, it was always you sleeping together in yours or his room, and jessika or finn would have to run in and wake you up several times in a row because you got too comfortable and nearly overslept. in short, you and him are attached at the hip
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
it was a mutual agreement between you two that youâd settle down and get married once the war was finally over. you hadnât had many opportunities to actually sit and talk about it so the conversation was often brought up late at night when nobody else was awake.
poe isnât the greatest ever at being tidy, but he isnât bad at cleaning up stuff when he needs toâand any messiness is made up for with his beyond amazing cooking skills. heâs constantly pressured week after week to cook for everyone because the first time heâd made something it was love at first taste. now heâs dubbed the ultimate pilot and sous chef of the resistance
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
if you had to break it off with each other, it would be because of the war. getting into a relationship while trying to fight for your lives could put you into a compromising position and poe hated knowing that he could lose you at any point. this ultimately led to a huge argumentâcoincidentally, right before you left for an eight week-long mission. there were many tears involved.
you wouldnât get together right after you claimed victory, but instead, took time building your relationship back up again before finally doing so. there were no real hard feelings involvedâit was just a matter of reconstruction :3
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
once poe is committed to something, heâs committedâheâs in it for the long run. of course, he wants to make sure youâre comfortable first before anything elseâand in terms of marriage, heâll probably wait about a year or two. nothing too fancy.Â
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
even though poe knows that youâre one hell of a fighter and can take practically anything thatâs thrown at you, heâs very very gentle with youâsame goes emotionally. he knows youâve also been through a lot and makes sure to constantly remind you that youâre not alone and that if you ever needed someone to turn to, heâd always be here.Â
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
alright, this man NEVER misses an opportunity to hug you. hugs from behind, picking you up and spinning you around until both of you got dizzy, surprising you and then hugging you, holding you in his arms to help you fall asleep after a nightmare, you name it. you joke around about how you donât need therapy when you have his arms within reach :)
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
he says it first. you recalled it being after you returned from a quick little recon with a few other pilots and ran straight into his arms (as always, because mans loves getting hugs from you yk).Â
âI love you.â
âI know,â you responded.
âI taught her that!â -han, shouting as he approached. âYou really didnât think to say hi to me first?â
âDad.â
poe only laughs and kisses you again.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when theyâre jealous?)
ooooof so when poeâs jealous, he doesnât like to show it but you can tell when he is. itâll be little death stares from across the room or tightening his arm around your waist, even if itâs another squadron member jokingly flirting with you
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
poeâs kisses are either very gentle or very passionateâit depends. he likes kissing you on the lips but he loves forehead kisses the most. it gives him a sense of protection over you and he loves knowing youâre his special person :3
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
the kids absolutely LOVE him. you always get this warm & fuzzy feeling inside whenever you see him interacting with the younger ones on base; sometimes heâll catch you staring and just winks at you in response (this little shit KNOWS how he makes you feel and loves it)
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
itâs pretty relaxed most of the time (that is, if itâs the weekend or youâre on break) and poe likes to stay in and cuddle for a little bit before you actually get out of bed. if not, both of you are up at the crack of dawn LOL. you often start off the day with a relaxing morning walk around the base before settling down to eat :)
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
on nights that neither of you can fall asleep, youâll go outside and stargaze. itâs a very soothing habit youâve learned to develop and 9/10 times it has one of you (itâs usually you) nearly knocked out cold after just an hour or two. (poe also sees this as an excuse to carry you back inside in his arms)
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
poeâs naturally a very open person but there are some things he prefers to keep to himself. but once he fully trusts you he tells you everythingâthough this takes maybe a couple months or so.Â
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
both of you are aware heâs the more impatient of the pair, although when it comes to you he doesnât mind waiting. when putting that aside, his patience runs a little bit more thin.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
alright mans knows you like the back of his hand. literally. like. the back. of your hand. everyone on base knows it, tooâhe remembers the smallest of things about you that even you donât remember sometimes. this was the biggest giveaway for him that told everyone he was most certainly in love with you. you can guess who hosted your surprise birthday that one night after exegol :Â â)
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
your first kissânot just because it was a first, but because of how it happened. it started pouring heavily as soon as you returned from a mission and everyone ended staying outside and having a giant water fight. while high on adrenaline, you jumped straight into his arms and before either of you had the chance to think, his lips were on yours and you were kissing underneath the stormy sky. everyone stopped what they were doing halfway and noticed, lowkey it looked like some scene from the notebook (arguably more romantic)
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
even though the two of you claim to share one braincell, poe is very very protective over you no matter how much you protest and claim you were capable of taking care of yourself. usually heâs the one whoâs more freaked out about any injuries you get. other than you understood that you had to look out for each other and stick by each other no matter the costâa promise you two intended to keep for as long as you possibly could.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
a lot. heâs very, very extra. very. han pokes fun at him sometimes for it but he too, was initially like that with leia so he canât really argueâso instead, whenever poeâs in need of help with planning stuff heâs off to the rescue : â) fam rlly went from âno, you are NOT dating my daughterâ to âwhy havenât you guys gotten married yet?â one time for your birthday, with the help of your parents and the entire black squadron, he put on an entire air show for you complete with firework displays, and needless to say you were head over heels that night.Â
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
he doesnât sleep. poe has a very fucked up sleep schedule and often counts on you to remind him to get some restâyou found him working on his x wing one night and he told you he hadnât slept in the past thirty-six hoursâafter which you scolded him and dragged him to bed. he ended up dozing off until noon 0_0
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
heâs not very concerned. though when he notices you staring or whenever you compliment him about his looks it does boost his ego :)
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
oh definitely. so much to the point that it has also become a joke among fellow rebels, even your parents (leia often tells you that sheâs worried he wonât function properly unless youâre around and tbh she isnât wrong lol). youâre his soulmate and other half whom he wouldnât trade for the world
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
poe has the best taste in music. straight up. nobody argues nor complains when heâs in charge of music for the day, theyâre always satisfied with whatever tunes heâs playing throughout the base and it puts everyone into a good mood
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldnât like, either in general or in a partner?)
lack of respect. being inconsiderate. coldhearted. youâre thankfully none of these and for that very reason heâd chosen youâyouâre everything he could ever ask for in a person
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
poe doesnât snore, but he has a SOLID iron grip when fast asleep. âbest friends always sleep in each otherâs beds!â heâd claim as he crawled in next to you many nights and fell asleep hugging you very tightly. everyone knew it was again, an excuse to get closer to you. but you didnât mind : â)

The Lost Boys: Promised Prize
Dwayne x Reader
Word Count: 1,768
Summary: After final exams are over, Dwayne makes good on the reward that you guys worked out.Â
A siren blared as a police car zoomed by your building, waking you from your impromptu sleep. Where the sun had previously forced its way through the gaps in the blinds, nocturnal darkness had completely taken over and doused everything in shadow. You stretched leisurely on top of the sheets, giving your eyes time to adjust as shapes blurred into focus.
Propping yourself up on your forearms you reached for your alarm clock, the glowing red numbers flashing 10:14 pm.
Well then.
It appeared that you had literally slept half of the day away and then some. You blamed it on your bodyâs post-finals bid to finally catch up on the sleep that you had been depriving yourself of for the past two weeks.
You also hadnât seen much of your boyfriend during that period, although that wasnât by your choice. When he found out how busy you were with finals prep he basically disappeared which was his way of giving you space so you could be productive. He didnât even talk with you about it, he just straight up stopped coming to your apartment.Â
It was a good thing you knew him as well as you did otherwise you mightâve taken his ghosting to mean something else entirely and you told him as much when you finally saw him over the weekend. Â
You went down the hall, switching on lights as you walked by on your way to the kitchen. A cool glass of water from the fridge always hit the spot after waking up. The water was extremely refreshing and several large gulps followed the first.
You took the water bottle with you so you could continue sipping from it while you went outside to get your mail. The small metal door creaked open and you juggled everything in your hands you flipped through the stack of envelops and inserts.
Junk. Pizza coupon. Bill. Billâoh! Something from the college!
Unable to wait until you were inside, you tore open the envelope with shaky fingers. The paper unfolded and you scanned over the typed font with nervous determination.
You lowered the grade report in shock. Did you read that correctly?
You held it up again and, sure enough, the verdict was the sameâyou aced all of your final exams! And in doing that, your semester grade point average was high enough to make the Deanâs list.
The whole apartment complex was treated to your victorious banshee yell as it echoed off the concrete and glass of the apartment complex. Even some of the wildlife scattered.
High with endorphins, you scurried back to your apartment, laying the paper smack dab on the center of the kitchen table. There was another person who needed to see it as well.
The sun had been set for a few hours, plenty of time to find a first meal of the night, which meant that he would be dropping by at any time.
You found it impossible to sit since you were still feeling the excitement so rather than sit around and wait for him, you decided to channel the energy into something productive.
Cabinet doors were opened and closed as you took out different ingredients that were all thrown into a mixing bowl and kneaded together with your bare hands. Some of the mix stuck under your fingernails but you were more than happy to suck it off your fingers.
Separating the tan dough into small balls you carefully placed them on a cookie sheet and stuck it into the oven. Ten minutes later and they were out, cooling on the counter.
Dwayne still hadnât arrived even after your cookie quest. You blew a couple of strands of hair away from your face. Time to do some dishes.
You slipped a Ratt cassette into your boombox, cranked it, and got to scrubbing. In the middle of cleaning the tines on a fork, you heard him enter.
He was bent over, taking off his shoes when you met him by the door.
He stood up and leaned in for a sweet kiss, but you stopped him to wipe some stray blood droplets off of his lips before you allowed it.
âCome on, thereâs something I wanna show you,â you insisted, pulling him to the kitchen.
He sniffed the air.
âPeanut butter?â he asked hopefully.
âYep. Sit down and Iâll bring you some.â
He sat down obediently and you knew he wouldnât be able to resist reading the only readable thing in front of him. While you took your time with the cookies, you watched him out of the corner of your eye and saw the exact moment he took the bait.
He slid the paper closer with his pointer finger and read it silently. Even when he faced you there was no discernable reaction that most people wouldâve noticed, however, you werenât most people. The warmth in his brown eyes and the slight softening of his mouth were very clear to you.
âI aced everything,â you boasted, setting the plate pile of cookies in front of him.
âAnd the Deanâs list,â he added.
You were touched that he remembered that bit and gently scratched his scalp which had him rolling his head in a feline manner. âThat means I get my reward too.â
He reached out and stroked the outer rim of your ear. âA promise is a promise. Wanna do it now?â
Back when you were stressing out all the tests and essays, and before Dwayne ghosted, he promised to give you a gift to keep you motivated. Anything you wanted. You told him you wanted a piercing done midway up your ear after seeing some people at school with them and he promised to do it for you.
You swiftly nodded. You really wanted the piercing.
Without another word, he shoved two peanut butter cookies into his mouth for safekeeping and tugged his shoes on. For being as old as he was, his inner child was always near the surface and you loved that about him. Most of the time.
âHeathen,â you razzed as you playfully hip checked him out of the way so you could grab your silver boots.
Opting not to retaliate, he merely winked and ushered you out the door, cookies still in his mouth.
The drive to the cave was short and uneventful. A benefit to the apartment being closer to the bluffs than it was the pier or the boardwalk. Dwayne expertly guided you down the rickety, wooden stairs and to the mouth of the cave.
Earlier in the relationship he always offered to fly you down so you didnât have to use the stairs, but he respected the decision to do it yourself unless you were too tired or tipsy, in which case he made the final decision.
He prowled around the cave, grabbing supplied from seemingly random spots. âDo you still want it on the cartilage?â
You told him yes and sat on the cool edge of the fountain, noting how quiet it was with just the two of you here.
âWhatâs the rest of the crew up to?â
âI left the boys on the beach and Star wanted some more stuff for her bed. Itâs not even midnight so theyâll be gone for a while yet.â
âI need to hang out with her more now that classes are done for now,â you said resting your chin on the tops of your knees.
âSheâd appreciate any company that isnât us at this point.â
You remembered the blood he had on his lips earlier. And the crumbs he left on them after eating the cookies. âI canât imagine why...â
He plopped down next to you on the fountain and spread everything out, handing you a box full of earrings so you could pick one out.
âFingers crossed you guys didnât rip these off of your meals.â
Dwayne chose not to say anything, preferring to watch your squirm at the thought.
You did have to admit that there was quite a nice selection to pick from, no matter the source. There were shiny studs, pieces with all manner of materials dangling from them, and delicate hoops both decorated and plain. But a small, snug silver hoop with a pearl-colored sphere attached caught your interest.
Dwayne noticed and started rubbing your ear with alcohol to disinfect the area. Then he held the piercing needle over a small candle flame to sterilize it. Star had taught them a lot about piercing procedure and etiquette; not wanting to jeopardize your mortal health, he put her words to use.
Needle ready, he swung around with one of his legs resting in your lap.
âFor grabbing onto if it hurts,â he offered and you settled your hands onto his jean-clad thigh. The needle was poised against the cartilage midway up your ear and you couldnât help it when your heartrate sped up.Â
The last time you had your ears pierced you were a little kid and you couldnât remember the pain. You hoped this new one wouldnât be too unbearable.
He nudged you gently to see if you were good to continue.
âIâm good. And youâd better not hit a nerve and paralyze me cause then Iâll have to beat you up.â
Were there any nerves to hit in that part of your ear? You werenât sure but it came out of your mouth last minute.
âGood luck punching if youâre paralyzed,â he smirked punching the needle through the flesh as he spoke. He had a bottle cork pressed on the back of your ear so that the needle didnât stab into your neck when it came out on the other side.
Your lids slammed shut and your finger nails dug into his leg. It wasnât the worst you could imagine but it was still a sharp, noticeable pain.
Dwayne was quick with it removing the needle and dropping the cork in order to work the earring through the freshly made hole. He clicked the earring closed and gave the area one last wipe down with a water soaked q-tip.
âWell? How do I look?â You were impatient and he wasnât moving fast enough for you.Â
He held up a mirror so you could see it. You werenât sure how he conjured it since none of the vamps in the cave used them, but you were more interested in seeing at your ear at the moment.
You gasped as you turned this way and that to admire it.
âI love it, Dwayne!â You peppered him with kisses.
Dwayne looked at you with evident pride. Pride in your smartness, pride in how you handled the pain, pride in the way the piercing turned out.
Beautiful, he thought.
_______________
Congrats to everyone thatâs finished with finals and good luck to those who are still working through exams. Thanks so much for reading!Â

Sanctuary
Summary: Peter is not coping very well after returning five years later to a world without Mr. Stark.
Also found on Ao3

This is our sanctuary We can find shelter and peace This is our sanctuary You are, you are safe with me We share this hurt, we share the pain
Pepper corners him in the kitchen. Heâs standing at the sink, staring out the window towards where the lake is, searching, searching, searching.
His mind is numb.
Blank.
Exhaustion from the day, the past few days actually, is starting to creep its way through him. He hasnât slept since he returned from wherever the hell he and the others went for five years. Five fucking years. He should be turning twenty-one this year. He should be in college, he should be growing facial hair, he should be ⌠thereâs so many should bes and yet there's even more never haves.
His head hurts, his eyes hurt, his heart hurts. And as exhausted as he is, he just can not sleep. And because of that, all of his spider senses are on constant high alert.
He knows when he does finally crash, he will crash hard and long. Once, he stayed up with Tony an entire weekend. Nearly seventy two hours and then proceeded to sleep for three days straight.
Thankfully that had been during his spring break.
Just beforeâŚ
He feels that is what heâs heading towards when Pepper comes up behind him in the kitchen and squeezes his shoulder. He jumps. Literally.
And then proceeds to drop the plate in his hands. The impact of it shattering on the floor is loud and extremely surprising to both of them. The living room, that had been a constant buzz of talking with everyone crowded in there, falls silent. All he can hear is heartbeats and shallow breathing. Eyes are on him as they try to assess if there is danger.
There isnât. He tries to smile but it falls short and slowly they all turn away and begin to talk again. Peter lets out a breath. He should have felt Pepper approaching. He should have been able to catch the plate. His spider senses are all over the place.
âIâm so sorry, Mrs. Potts.â He stops and looks up at her from the floor where he is already picking up the broken pieces, âIs it Stark now? Mrs. Stark.â He tilts his head at her because that doesnât feel right. Heâs called her Ms. Potts for so long now.
âItâs Stark. But I kept my working name as Potts.â
Peter twists his mouth in confusion.
She squats by him and smiles as she places a hand on his wrist, squeezing gently, âBut to you, itâs just Pepper. Here, let me help.â
They work in silence and after theyâre done she pours them each a cup of coffee. Coffee is the absolute last thing Peter needs in his system but heâs far too polite to turn her down.
May peeks her head in the kitchen and gives them a tight smile, âEverything okay in here?â
âWeâre okay.â Pepper assures her and Mays eyes dart to his before she disappears again. Peter can still hear all the others in the house. Itâs been nearly twelve hours since the funeral and still no one has been willing to leave just yet.
Other than to pick up more food.
And alcohol.
Peter has kept mostly to himself. Sitting in a corner or standing off to the side. He spent a good amount of time just standing by the edge of the lake, keeping his eye on the wreath and arc reactor. That is until Harley approached him.
They had known about one another, each hearing stories about the other from Mr. Stark, but although he mentioned wanting to have them meet, they never had got around to it.
Until now.
âSo it takes him dying for us to finally meet.â
Peter lowers his eyebrows, pushing his hands deeper into his pant pockets.
âToo soon?â Harley tries again.
Peter shakes his head, âMaybe. I donât know. Part of me says yes but the other part knows he would laugh at it.â
Harley chuckles and Peter sees him turn to look across the water at the floating wreath, âHe definitely would.â
Pepper places her hand on top of his on the table and he lifts his eyes to meet hers. She looks just as exhausted as he feels and he suddenly feels incredibly guilty for not helping her more the past few days. It couldnât have been easy trying to plan all this while dealing with her grief and a child.
âHappy has been helping you right?â He suddenly asks and off her confused look he continues, âWith all of this? Getting everyone here and the food and the âŚ.â
The body. God, he canât even think it without tears spilling down his cheeks. He still sees Captain America carrying Iron Man across the battlefield every time he closes his eyes. He had watched as Pepper, still in her Rescue suit, followed silently behind and one by one the heroes stood and formed a line to follow their fallen soldier.
âOh Peter. Ssshhhh.â
Peter shakes his head and angrily brushes the tears from his cheeks, âNo. Please donât.â
âDonât what, exactly?â
âComfort me.â He is shaking. His emotions are all over the place and he feels a rage burning deep in him. Not towards anyone but himself. At how selfish he is.
âWhy canât I comfort you, Peter?â Pepper whispers, her hand brushes across his arm multiple times before the sensation of it becomes too overwhelming that he jumps to his feet, his chair making a loud bang as it falls over. Peter ignores it as he begins to pace.
âPeter?â
âI just. You shouldnât be comforting me after all youâve had to go through. I should be comforting you. I should have been here helping you with everything. With, with the, the,â He waves his hand to the window that the lake can be clearly seen out of. To the wreath. âI should have been here with her.â Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. Mr. Stark has a child and she looks identical to him. Identical. Morgan.
âPepper? Pete? Everything okay here?â Happy steps into the kitchen and Peter can sense the quiet of the house as the others strain to listen.
âNo. No, Happy everything is not okay. Itâs so fucking far from okay.â
âHey, language, kid.â
That nickname. Happy has used it just as much as Mr. Stark but it still triggers him. He tangles his hands in his hair and squats down, âShit, I canât, I canât.â
âCanât what Peter?â Pepper asks in that incredibly gentle voice and he just shakes his head.
âWill you turn off the lights, Happy?â
âI.. what?â
âThe lights. The lights. The god damn lights. FRIDAY, turn off the lights!â
âPeter, FRIDAY isnâtâŚ.â
But suddenly the lights are off and he feels himself falling until he feels a hand on his shoulder and heâs jumping up and back so hard that the person who touched him, May, is thrown into the other wall.
âDonât touch me. Donât touch me. I canât. I canât.â And suddenly Captain America is standing in front of him with his hands up.
âItâs okay. Itâs going to be okay.â
âJust donât touch me.â Peter begs, noticing that the kitchen is empty but for the two of them.
âNo oneâs going to touch you, Queens.â
Peter reacts to that and his eyes meet the very blue ones of Captain America, âWhat happened? Did I ⌠did I hurt anyone?â
Cap shakes his head, âEveryoneâs fine. Whenâs the last time you slept?â
Peter shakes his head, âI donât, I donât know.â
âHappy?â
Happy steps around the corner and although Captain America addressed him, he doesnât take his eyes off Peter, âWill you ask Pepper if there is a room Peter can use to rest in?â
âNo need.â Happy says, âPeter has a room of his own here.â
âWhat?â Peter glances at Happy but Cap steps in his line of sight, âQueens, we need to get your sensory overload under control and that wonât happen until you get some rest.â
Peter nods. Heâs not one to argue with Captain America on a good day. So he dutifully follows behind the superhero as Happy leads them through the (quiet and darkened) living room and up the stairs. They pass what he knows to be Morganâs room and step into a room at the end of the hall. The lights are off and as itâs been dark outside for a few hours, he can see very little of the room. A bed is in the middle though and he practically falls into it without anyone saying a word.
And he sleeps for twenty-four hours straight.
When he wakes itâs quiet in the house. He stares up at the dark ceiling for a long moment before sliding out of the bed. After stopping in the bathroom, he silently makes his way into the kitchen. Pepper is sitting at the island, the only light from her phone as she scans through her emails.
âHey.â Peter says quietly so not to startle her. She still jumps and turns to him.
âPeter. Youâre awake.â She snaps her mouth shut glancing over his shoulder to the dark silent living room. He knows without looking that there are multiple people sleeping in there, âHow are you feeling?â She asks, her voice nearly a whisper.
Peter runs his hand through his hair, âBetter. Hungry.â
Pepper gives a half smile and stands to make her way to the fridge, âRhodey made tacos for dinner and thereâs plenty of leftovers if you want.â Sheâs pulling out container after container and placing them on the island before he even has a chance to respond.
She makes him a plate as he drinks a shake May had made and saved for him. Then he eats five tacos without taking a breath.
âIs everyone still here?â He quietly asks as he starts on his sixth taco.
Pepper places her dark phone down in front of her. He had noticed her staring at the dark screen on his third taco.
âTâChala left with his group before dinner. Clint took his family back to their farm.â She taps her fingers on the counter, âNebula and her group left before you passed out of course. Everyone else is still here.â
âStill a lot of people.â
She hums as she fiddles with her phone, âI just donât have it in me to kick anyone out.â
Peter finishes his last taco and stands to wash his plate. He silently finishes and as he reaches to put it in the drying rack, he notices the photo. Itâs the one of him and Mr. Stark posing with his intern frame.
âHe really missed you.â Pepper says from behind him.
Peter doesnât respond. Canât respond. His body feels suddenly tight. Like heâs about to snap but he doesnât know how or what will happen if he does. Heâs afraid after what happened last time. His fingers grip the plate and he feels the crack before the plate gives and shatters between his fingers.
âOh!â Pepper is turning him and pulling his hands apart before he realizes what exactly has happened.
He stares down at his hands, now covered in blood and isnât quite sure what to do. âPepper?â He looks up at her, his eyes full of so many questions.
âOh honey, shhhh itâs okay. Weâll clean this up in no time.â She looks behind her into the dark living room full of multiple superheroes and sighs, âLetâs go into the bathroom. There should be a first aid kit.â She squeezes his wrist, âDo you want me to get your aunt?â
Peter quickly shakes his head, âNo, no. Let her rest. Maybe.â He pauses, chewing on his cheek for a moment, contemplating, âMaybe Happy though?â
She smiles softly, âOf course. Come on.â
She leads him into a bathroom silently, her hand not leaving his wrist, her other hand quickly typing out a message, he realizes a moment later to Happy, as the man appears in the bathroom doorway. He was asleep, Peter can tell, but he doesnât look upset at being woken up, only concerned.
âWhat happened, Kid? You okay?â
âHeâs fine.â Pepper reassures Happy, âOne of the plates broke while he was holding it.â
âOh.â Happy eyes first Peter then Pepper. He knows thereâs more to the story but he lets it be as he fully steps into the bathroom to help assess the damage.
The two of them have him cleaned up in no time and Happy sends him back to bed with strict instructions to get more rest. He can hear the two of them whispering as he does as heâs told. He knows theyâre talking about him but he finds he just doesnât care. His head touches the pillow and heâs asleep within moments.
âPetey?â Peter looks down into Mr. Starkâs eyes. Except that isnât right because he doesnât usually have to look down at Mr. Stark. He clinches his hands and relaxes them. Does it a second time.
âPetey?â A small hand pulls on his jacket and he blinks. Morgan is staring up at him, a look of concern on her four year old face.
âHey.â Peter breaths and offers a half smile to the young girl. Itâs the best he can offer at the moment.
âWill you help me make some cheeseburgers?â
Peter blinks at the question and then gives a small laugh, âCheeseburgers huh?â He glances around the yard. Rhodey, Bucky and Pepper are sitting on the porch. Thor, Steve, and Sam are visiting the alpaca. May and Happy have gone for a walk around the lake.
He looks back to Morgan and reaches out a hand, âI think I can handle some cheeseburgers.â
They end up grilling out by the lake. Happy and Rhodey take over the grill after Peter manages to burn the first batch of burgers. He actually manages a smile as they tease him. Morgan climbs into his lap at the picnic table as she waits patiently for her cheeseburger. He offers her the first one off the grill but she shakes her head. When Harley tries to take a burger for himself Morgan shouts, âNo, wait.â And so they do. They wait until all the food is on the table and everyone has a seat. Pepper turns to Morgan and says, âMo, can we eat now?â
Morgan shakes her head and everyone who was about to dig in settles back.
âSweetie?â Pepper asks quietly leaning across the table, âwhat exactly are we waiting for?â
And everyone's breath rushes out as she says, âDaddy.â
No one says a word.
Not a word. Pepper has her hand over her mouth and she shakes her head. Once. Twice. And Peter can tell she needs help. If there was ever a moment he could prove to her that he could be this her support this was it. But he canât do it.
May, bless her heart, takes Peter's hands from Morganâs waist where he knows he was beginning to squeeze and she smiles sweetly at Morgan, âSweetie, you know your daddy is gone right?â
Morgan nods her little head but glances to Happy innocently, âBut Uncle Happy said Daddyâs favorite was cheeseburgers so I thought if we made them he would want to come back.â
âPeter, stay with me.â May whispers as she pulls Morgan into her lap but he canât. He just canât and he moves from the table and runs into the forest as quickly and quietly as he can.
After that, Peter finds he canât sleep again. He hears everything in the house as the hours and days tick by. Thor snoring in the living room. May and Happy watching a movie in the guest room. Rhodey, Bucky, and Sam are quietly talking on the porch. Pepper silently crying in her room.
Heâs had plenty of rest but he feels like his senses are still in overdrive. Heâs not sure if it's from what happened on Titan or the incident with the cheeseburgers or if heâs just that exhausted, but he feels the irritation building up again.
Then he makes the mistake of asking May for some clothes. Her face drops as she lets him know that all his clothes had been donated. It had been five years, so of course he understood.
But he needed clothes and so Happy shows up in his room later with a handful of shirts and sweatpants. Peter takes one look at the top tshirt and instantly pushes them back into Happy's arms.
âI canât.â He tells Happy, âI canât.â
Happy tries to push them back to him but Peter turns away, âDoes Pepper even know?â
Happy steps into his room and drops the pile of clothes onto the end of his bed, âOf course. She heard you and May talking and brought them to me.â
Peter shakes his head, âHappy, I canât.â
Happy stops his pacing with a hand on his shoulder, âPeter, itâs just clothes.â
âBut itâs not.â
A squeeze of his shoulder and tears spring to his eyes. Peter digs the pad of his hands into his eyes forcing the tears away, âI canât Happy.â He says in a horse voice.
âI get it, Kid.â
Happy leaves but the clothes stay.
After that May and Happy decide itâs time to take Peter home. That, maybe, heâll be able to rest if he isn't reminded daily of Tony. Peter doesnât agree with them. But he doesnât argue about leaving either. Doesnât have it in him to.
Pepper finds him standing on the dock as Happy and May load up the car, âHow are you feeling?â She asks him gently.
He turns and gives her an off smile. She returns the same smile. The smile you give someone when your entire world has flipped upside down but you know everyone around you just wants to know youâre okay. So you fake like you are for their benefit.
âMâokay.â
âMay said youâve been out here on your own for awhile.â
He doesnât respond right away. The breeze from the lake blows across them and he can see Pepper's hair dancing in his peripheral.
âIâve missed so much and yet.â
She turns to him then, âHe left you a message.â
He turns to face her, his eyes wide.
âJust you. He left it in his garage. His lab, which is now yours.â
âMine? I donât understand.â
Pepper tilts her head and brings a hand up to brush his hair from his forehead. The wind just pushes it back but she smiles fondly, âYou donât, do you. You donât see how much he loves and cherishes you. How he spent every single moment you were gone going over what he did wrong.â
Peter shakes his head, âHe didnâtâŚ.â
âOh, I know that and you know that, but this is Tony weâre talking about. He never felt peace these past five years.â
Peter's eyes drop from hers and he steps away from her, âIâm so sorry.â
Pepper sighs loudly, âI just donât understand how you can be so different and yet so much like him at the same time.â She grabs his arms and squeezes, âIâll tell you exactly what I told him every single day for the past five year. It. Wasnât. Your. Fault.â
He refuses to lift his eyes to hers and she sighs again, âSo, the lab is set to only let you in at this time. There is no rush for you to go and see the message, you do it in your own time. However, forewarning Morgan is used to going into the lab with her dad and I fully expect you to carry on the tradition.â Her hands slide down his arms and she wraps her fingers around his hands, âI fully expect in the future to be frustrated because you and Morgan spend far too much time in there tinkering, instead of doing what I need. Peter,â She waits for him to lift his eyes to hers, âI expect you to be the big brother she believes you to be.â
Tears fill his eyes and the smile she gives him is genuine, âYou were his âKidâ. You now have a four year old sister.â
Tears fall and his mouth opens and closes in search of how to respond. He is both honored and horrified. Pepper just smiles softly and leans in to hug him. He manages to return the hug weakly and she turns to leave him once again alone on the dock.
Sheâs to the end when she calls out to him again and he glances over his shoulder at her, âI will tell you every single day of your life it wasnât your fault if I have to, Peter Parker.â
âI would never doubt you Mrs. Stark.â

Just For A Week
WARNINGS: Swearing, partial smut (Maybe but like not really but also like just gonna but it in for Tumblrâs algorithm), drinking
Summary: Seungmin and Y/n have been friends for years. Their schedules finally coincide and they decide to take a vacation for a week. However, it is a little too expensive for both of their wallets. Y/n finds a discount that is just perfect for them. The only thing is that they have to pretend to be married.
Genre: Romance, friends to lovers!au, fake marriage!au
âAre you serious??â I screamed into the phone. Hearing his laugh on the other end made me smile even wider. âYeah! Iâm off schedule all of next week.â
Seungmin was always busy as of late. There was always some variety show, practice, or tour that kept him occupied. I hadnât seen my best friend in what felt like forever. My apartment didnât feel normal if Seungmin wasnât in it and rearranging my things constantly.
âWe have to do something. This is never going to happen again.â I could hear him pulling out his laptop and his fingers tapping on the keys. âLetâs go on a trip. Just us. Like when we were younger!â My mind flashed back to Seungminâs trainee days where we would get on a random train with $200 and spend a weekend somewhere fun and new.Â
âIâm down.â Seungmin tapped some more and listed locations all around Korea. âIâd rather go to the beach, especially while itâs warm out.â He hummed in response and looked some more. âWhat about Jeju? There is a resort right on the beach. They have one room leftâŚand two beds! Also, they are offering a discount!â
âSeungmin book the damn room before someone else does!â I said with a laugh. âAnd done!â Both of us cheered over the phone. We made plans and bought plane tickets for two days from now. It had been so long since I had seen Seungmin. We still texted a lot and there was the occasional facetime, but I still missed him. Even with all his quirks and weird slightly annoying antics. Happily, I threw clothes and swimsuits into my suitcase and begin to fantasize about my upcoming vacation with my best friend.Â
The plane ride was uneventful. Seungmin and I met at the airport and a great reunion was made. We both slept on the plane and when we landed in Jeju, we immediately rented a car to take us to the hotel. Seungmin drove us to the beautiful resort and parked in the circular driveway as hotel staff came and retrieved out bags. As I stepped out of the car the sundress I was wearing blew slightly in the wind. Seungmin thanked the attendants and walked over to me with a smile. âA little swankier than our normal adventures isnât it?â I joked as we walked inside.
The woman and the desk greeted us with a smile. âHello, welcome to our wonderful hotel! Are you checking in?â Seungmin nodded and replied, â Yes, the room should be under Kim Seungmin.â She tapped on her computer and a bright smile lifted her already high cheeks. âWonderful. Here is your key card and congratulations you two!âÂ
âIâm sorry, what do you mean âcongratulationsâ?â I asked. Seungmin looked confused as well. The womanâs smile faltered. âIt says here your discount is for newlyweds. We are a very popular honeymoon destination. Was there a mistake-âÂ
âNo! Thank you. My wife and I were just wondering thatâs all.â Seungmin said latching an arm around my shoulder. I gave her a hopefully not too fake-looking smile. âWe also have many tourist attractions near the campus perfect for young couples. Would you like a brochure for LoveIsland?â
âNO!â âNO!âÂ
We both exclaimed a little too loud. The lady looked shocked and very confused but slowly pulled the brochure back from on top of the counter. I cleared my throat and placed a hand on Seungminâs chest. âWhat we mean is, we already have the planned itinerary the hotel sent and we really just want some time to relax in our room.â A small smile quirked up at the edge of her lips and I instantly regretted my choice of words. âWell, we hope you enjoy your stay. Dinner is served at eight. Please do not hesitate to ask us for anything at all. Your bags will be brought shortly.âÂ
Once Seungmin and I were a safe distance down the hall from the lobby our facade dropped. âWhat the hell, Seungmin?â He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. âIâm sorry! I didnât know! All I saw were the words discount!â I stared at him in disbelief. âWhy did you agree with her? We are not married. Thatâs lying! This might be fraud!âÂ
âY/n have you seen how expensive this place is? This gets us a discount on literally everything! Why canât we just pretend for a week?â Seungmin stood in front of our door fiddling with the card. Just as the words left his mouth a couple maybe a year or two older than us walked out of the room next door. A snarky smirk latched itself onto the beautiful girlâs face as she clung to her husbandâs arm.Â
âOh, trouble in paradise already?â She said in a silky smooth voice. âHope the rest of your honeymoon goes better.â The man said. He looked like he came straight out of a Calvin Klein ad. With just a quick glance between each other, we had already agreed that these two were agreeably the worst people on the entire planet with huge sticks up their asses. Instantly I latched myself onto Seungminâs arm and laid my head on his shoulder.Â
âDonât mind us. If we are too loud by the way, just knock on the door. Weâll try to keep it down, but no promises.â Seungmin said with a new air of confidence as he laced his fingers with mine. A shocked look plastered itself onto the coupleâs face. âThe same goes for you too. We can also get pretty loud, so just knock.â With that, the man and woman strutted down the hall and towards the pool.
âOkay, now we have to sell this,â I said with a frustrated sigh. âI donât know why but I really want to kick their ass,â Seungmin said through gritted teeth as he still stared down the hallway.  âI know right! We are a fake couple and we are totally already less fake than them. And better too!â âAnd better too!â Seungmin said in agreement as he opened the door to our hotel room. I froze at the sight.
âWhy is there one bed?â Seungmin asked as he tossed his stuff onto the couch.
âI thought you said there were two beds?âÂ
âYeah, it said double beds!â I pinched the bridge of my nose and tried not to scream.
âMin, did it say double bedsâŚor a double bed?â
âA double bed. Whatâs the difference?âÂ
âSeungmin a double bed means that it is one bed! A bed that is double the size of a normal bed!âÂ
He looked at the bed in defeat. âShit.â I sat down, the white comforter soft against my bare legs. âItâs fine we can share the bed.â The words came out more like a sigh. There was a silence that fell over the room. After a moment, I couldnât help but laugh. Then Seungmin started laughing too. âThis is a great way to start our vacation, isnât?â I said through soft laughter. âDefinitely will be memorable.â
I sighed and kicked off my shoes. âIâm gonna shower. Do you want to go swimming after?â With a smile, I nodded and grabbed my phone from my purse. Seungmin closed the door of the bathroom and I saw the light turn on from under the door. I walked over to the nightstand to plug in my phone until I realized I forgot my charger. Remembering some hotels put chargers in the drawers I opened it only to let out a scream a the contents.Â
Seungmin burst through the bathroom door and ran to me on the other side of the bed. âWhat? Whatâs wrong?â I laughed and pointed to the drawer. âSorry, it just shocked me.â Seungmin pulled open the drawer further to reveal an entire string of condoms branded with the hotelâs name as well as a bottle of lube and ironically a bible. âThatâs funny in a twisted sort of way,â Seungmin said with a chuckle.Â
A blush rushed to my cheeks when I realized in his hurry to make sure I was okay, Seungmin didnât put his shirt back on and only stood bare-chested in his jeans. I had always known Seungmin was attractive, it was kind of a requirement for being an idol. But, it was astonishing and ironic that I was just now noticing the fact as he was standing in front of me- shirtless- and holding a string of condoms.Â
Maybe it was just the fact that I hadnât gotten laid since the beginning of university? Yeah. That made sense. Seungmin returned to his shower and I started unpacking. We spent the afternoon playing in the pool and relaxing on the pool deck. It was so nice to catch up with Seungmin and hear what he had been doing. Seungmin had called ahead and confirmed it was a private property and no press would be allowed on campus.Â
âOkay, so what does our fake honeymoon package get us?â I asked flipping over onto my stomach so the sun could reach my back. Seungmin lounged on the beach chair next to me, his brown hair blowing slightly in the breeze. He pulled out his phone to answer my question. Â
âWe get a dinner experience with all the rest of the couples, several planned activities, spa package, and we have tickets to the Jeju music festival at the end of the week.â Seungmin scrolled more on his phone, reading something else on the hotel website. A young waiter came by carrying a tray of drinks. âWould you like one, beautiful?â He said leaning down and giving me a wink. My cheeks started to heat up as I gratefully took one of the Mai Tais.Â
âHey, chill. Thatâs my wife youâre flirting with!â Seungmin said standing up in front of the waiter. I tried to hide my shock at his reaction. âSorry, dude! I didnât see a ring. My bad!â The ring! Oh my god, we were so stupid. âOh- I left it in the room, babe. Iâm sorry, I didnât want to lose it.â I interjected quickly, hoping to distract from the fact that Seungmin and I had no actual explanation for not wearing wedding bands.
The waiter stared as I wrapped my arm around Seungminâs waist, drink in my other hand. âI apologize,â He said before walking off. Just when we thought we were out of the woods, âWhat was that commotion all about?â Walking up-of course looking like she came out of a Victoriaâs Secret catalog- was the woman from before, her husband trailing behind. âOh, it was nothing! I left my ring on the nightstand so I wouldnât lose it-â âAnd the cabana boy over there just started hitting on her. I took care of it. Seungmin wrapped his arms around my waist and moved behind me.
The lady scoffed before holding up her hand. âI would never take off my ring! Itâs too precious.â She said smiling at her husband next to her. Her ring was huge and sparkled in the light. It had to cost at least $10,000. The woman herself was drowning in designer and expensive products. I mean she was wearing heels at the god damn swimming pool.
âI donât think we have been properly introduced. My name is Kwon Si Hyun and this is my wife, Jin Ae.â She waved politely but that arrogant smirk was still stuck on bother her and her spouseâs face. The sight of it just made me want to smack her. Instead, I put on my nicest smile and my hand found Seungminâs cheek resting on my shoulder.Â
âIâm Y/n and this is my amazing husband, Kim Seungmin.â Seungmin smiled, but I could see he was just as disgusted as I was. âKim Seungmin? Why is that so familiar?â The man asked shaking his head. Jin Aeâs face lit up. âYah! You are an idol! From that group Stray something!â Seungminâs grip tightened and he tried to hide his annoyance. âYeah, Stray Kids.âÂ
She playfully smacked her husbandâs broad chest. âI knew we should come back here! They are always saying celebrities stay here!â She eyed Seungmin up and down and instantly I felt very angry. âYeah! Minnie is great! He is just so busy all the time so I am left by myself so much.â I turned around to face Seungmin and took his face in my hands. He glanced over at Si Hyun and Jin Ae briefly before smiling back at me.
âI know how that is! Running my company can be time-consuming, thatâs why I take Jin Ae out so much like this.â Si Hyun gave her a playful smack on the ass before kissing her cheek making her squeal. Slowly Seungmin and I inched apart. Jin Ae grabbed my hands. âKim Y/n, we should play while our husbands talk about business!â Before I could object she dragged me off to the other side of the pool towards the hot tub. I gave Seungmin a sorry look over my shoulder as I watched Si Hyun clap him on the back and hand him a beer.
Two hours later I slammed open the door of our hotel room. Seungmin let out a gasp from where he lay on the bed, dropping his phone. âHey! Donât scare me like that.â Seungmin had changed into jeans and a shirt and was playing on his phone, while I was standing cold in my bikini from sitting in the pool for hours.Â
âI hate her.â
âI hate him.â
âI want to smack that fake tan and boob job right off her.â
âBe careful theyâre right next door!â Seungmin said with a laugh. He tossed me a towel from the counter. Quickly drying off, I sat on the edge of the chair. âWe need rings if we are gonna pull this off.â He nodded from the bed. âAll Jin Ae would talk about was how she and I would make such great friends and how we should meet up and drink daiquiris when we get back to Seoul. Sheâll take me shopping because my swimsuit is just so last season.â I said mocking her high pitched voice.Â
I turned and walked to the dresser. I didnât notice the way Seungminâs eyes followed me as if just now realizing I was standing before him in a bikini and water still on my skin. âOkay well, I could find a pawn shop near here and get some rings?â I nodded pulling out a dress to wear for dinner. âIf you leave now you have just enough time to make it back and change for dinner.â He shrugged. âWhatâs so important about dinner?â
âAnother happy coincidence, â I said dryly pulling some heels out of my bag- a pair that I had wanted to hopefully go clubbing in. âJin Ae asked around and managed to get us switched to her tableâŚfor the rest of the week. apparently, we are now their partner couple. You know all those awesome activities. Thanks to that bitch we are doing it with them!â I said throwing the towel onto the bed.Â
Seungmin walked over and took my hand. âHey. We can still have fun okay? Anywhere I am with you Iâll have fun.â He looked at me sincerely and pulled me into a hug. âYouâre the best, Min.â With a sigh, he pulled away and grabbed his keys and wallet. âOkay. Iâm off to get us wedding rings! Wow. I never thought Iâd say those words.â He laughed and exited the room leaving me an hour to get ready for dinner with the dreaded Kwons.
Dressed in a nice white dress that hugged my curves and my favorite pair of blue pumps I played with my earrings waiting for Seungmin in the lobby. He ran up to me, hair styled and his shirt was switched our for a dress shirt he had half-tucked. I couldnât deny the fact he looked good. He eyed me up and down before handing me something.Â
Opening my hand revealed a beautiful silver diamond ring. âSeungmin! This must have cost a fortune!â My eyes went wide as I tried to keep my voice down. I watched as Seungmin slipped a matching silver band onto his left hand. Seungmin smiled. âNo, itâs okay! Think of it as a gift.â Seungmin took the ring from you and gently pushed it onto your ring finger on your left hand.Â
âSo, better half, you ready for an excruciatingly long dinner?â Seungmin said with a laugh, offering me his arm. âOnly for you.â Together we ventured outside to the huge outdoor restaurant. The ceiling was covered with vines, plants, and dangling lanterns. The hostess greeted us with a bright smile. One that seemingly everyone in the hospitality industry had. Did they have a class for it or something?Â
âName?â
âKim? Kim Seungmin.â
âAh right here! If you and your wife would follow me this way to your table for the week.âÂ
Grabbing two menus, she led us through the beautiful restaurant and to our table in the middle of the floor. Not surprisingly, Kwon Si Hyun and Kwon Jin Ae were already seated and sipping on wine. âDonât forget to smile,â Seungmin whispered through clenched teeth. Nodding I put on the absolute nicest smile I could manage and waved to Jin Ae. Seungmin sat beside me and next to Si Hyun. The minute I sat down Jin Ae pulled my hand to look at my ring.Â
âYah Kim Seungmin! You have such classy taste. Maybe a little understated compared to mine, but who could compare to me!â She said with a snobby laugh. Seungmin took my other hand and laced his fingers with mine atop the table. Maybe it was the drive to prove we were better than this snobbish egotistical couple, but things like this with Seungmin were starting to become more natural and it made me wonder.
âY/n is the only pretty one in my eyes,â Seungmin said looking at me. âSeungmin-ssi! Donât you think I am pretty enough to be an idol?â Jin Ae said in her annoying voice. I struggled to hide my disdain, instead choosing to drain the glass of wine in front of me.Â
Dinner was exhausting. Seungmin and I barely survived by glancing at each other as pretentious remarks were thrown back and forth between the other couple. After finally escaping their company Seungmin and I headed back to the room. âOh my god, they are so terrible.âÂ
Seungmin laughed and opened the door. âWhy did we agree to go clubbing with them tomorrow night again?â I sighed kicking off my shoes and throwing them somewhere near my bag. âBecause I like clubbing and not even she can ruin that.â âYou sure?â I glared and he laughed happily. âThis isnât so bad. It honestly isnât that different from how we usually act.â He said changing into nightclothes.Â
I shrugged thinking back on tonight. Did Seungmin really see no difference? Was I the only one who noticed? He hopped into bed and played on his phone while I changed. âIâm glad Iâm on vacation with you though,â I said climbing onto the other side of the bed. âI missed you. I love the boys, but hanging our with you is different.â Why did that make my heart skip a beat?Â
âYeah, you too.â
âGoodnight,â
âGoodnight,â
Turning off the lights the both of us drifted off to sleep. The warm island breeze softly blew through the open window drifting over us like fairy dust. As if it was casting a spell over our eyes so that the next morning we would wake up seeing differently. Or at least one of us would.Â
Seungmin and I took breakfast in the room the next morning. Not even we could deal with the chaotic mess that was the Kwonâs first thing in the morning. We played in our room and lounged on the patio. To be honest we were hiding from Jin Ae and Si Hyun. Seungmin and I sat in PJs and simply talked the whole day, something we hadnât done in a while. The boys called to check in and I joined in on the video call.Â
âY/n! Jisung called out once my face appeared on the screen. I leaned over Seungminâs shoulder to see all eight faces on his laptop. âOh? Sungie? How are you guys?â Catching up with the boys was fun but I could see how Seungmin could easily get exhausted by them.Â
As night grew closer I actually began to grow excited about going out. âSeungmin, which should I wear?â I said holding up two dresses. A faux hunter green velvet dress and the white dress from last night. âYou know youâll never hear the end of it from Jin Ae if you wear the same dress twice.â I sighed knowing he was right. Slipping on the tight dress, I fiddled with some earrings before finally deciding on a pair. âWhy do girls take so long to get ready? I swear you take longer than Hyunjin.âÂ
âReally?â
âI take that back. No one takes longer than Hyunjin.â
Chuckling I finished applying some eyeliner and lip tint. âWhatever I wear Jin Ae will outshine me, so this will do.â I zipped up my shoes securing the three-inch chunky heeled boots to my feet. Seungmin looked me up and down his eyes widening slightly. âDonât be silly you look great.â Seungmin stood in heavily ripped black jeans and a black button-down with some of the top buttons undone. He had rolled up his sleeves and for some reason, his ring was more noticeable. Maybe because I knew he never wore accessories.
Seungmin handed me my purse and grabbed his phone and wallet and then we headed to meet Jin Ae and Si Hyun at the club. Seungmin and I drove into the city and sang along to the music on the radio. We pulled up and heard the music from the club before even reaching the building. âSeungmin,â I said grabbing his arm, stopping him from exiting the car. âWhat?â I pulled open my bag and grabbed a piece of black fabric.Â
âWe arenât at the hotel anymore. Someone could see you.â I pulled him back and gently placed the mask over his face. He stared at me while I tucked the fabric behind his ears. âThank you,â For some reason, he didnât pull away. At first, I was confused, but I quickly grew comfortable with how he was looking at me. Just as he was about to speak my phone rang. Sighing he pulled away and let me answer my phone.Â
âOh, Jin Ae?â
He looked over at me as we got out of the car and walked across the street to the club. âYes, we are walking up now.â Aggressively pushing the end call button I turned to Seungmin. âShe gave our name to the VIP bouncer, so we can just go in.â He nodded and walked up to the bouncer outside. âName?â He said without looking up. âHere,â Seungmin said pulling out his driverâs license. The bouncerâs eyes went wide and he did a double-take. âWelcome, Mr. Kim! Please enjoy your night.âÂ
I smiled feeling the vibrations of the music and the bright colored lights flashing throughout the room. âYou want a beer?â I yelled over the music. He nodded and I left his side to walk up to the bar. âTwo beers!â I yelled to the bartender. He nodded and went to the other side to get them. Suddenly I felt a hand grabbing my ass. âHey!â I yelled turning around. My eyes widened to see a very attractive man behind me, a handsome smile on his face. âOh, sorry. I thought you were someone else, but whatâs your name?âÂ
He leaned against the bar and his hand brushed against my arm. Normally I would love this kind of attention from someone as hot as he was, but I could smell the alcohol on his breath and oddly my mind went back to Seungmin. âListen, buddy. You can fuck off. Iâm married.â I said holding up my hand and showing him the ring. He scoffed and took my hand. âOh please! Girls these days are wearing rings like this all the time.â The bartender handed me my two beers, but the man stopped me from leaving.Â
âCome on, baby stay a while.â
âI told you, Iâm married.âÂ
âReally, whereâs your husband? I donât see him anywhere.â
Where was Seungmin? My eyes looked everywhere not seeing him. I tried to shrug off the guyâs grip but he wouldnât let go. âDude fuck off!â I yelled. âCome on, you lied about your husband! No one is even here!â He said getting too close for comfort.
âWhat are you talking about? Iâm right here.â
The man turned around to see Seungmin, still wearing his mask. He honestly looked intimidating with his fists clenched and a glare piercing into the other man. âReally? Youâre her husband? Man, your taste in men is shit. He canât be.â Seungmin tugged me by the waist into his side. Before holding up his left hand. The man gulped as he looked at the silver ring glinting in the lights. He scoffed.
âYeah, whatever. The bitch wasnât that hot anyway.â
Seungmin took his beer and lifted his mask to take a swig. âCome on, we should meet up with Si Hyun.â Seungmin led me to the VIP lounge upstairs. His hand latched tightly onto mine, making sure I didnât lose him in the crowd. The bouncer let us in and immediately Jin Ae waved to us from their table.Â
Obviously, the both of them had started drinking long before we got there. âY/n-ah! You are my dongsaeng now! You must call me Unnie!â She said draping herself all over me. âYeah, of course, Unnie.â She poured us a shot of whatever liquor was on the table and handed it to me. Seungmin talked with Si Hyun as Jin Ae pounded shot after shot. I drank but only enough to get a little buzz going.Â
âHey, you two should do a love shot! Come on get the night started!â Si Hyun said with a bright grin. Jin Ae happily clapped along in agreement before pouring us two shots. âNo, Iâm driving tonight-â âCome on, Seungmin! Donât be a downer!â Jin Ae whined. He looked at me briefly before picking up the shot. After linking arms, we were so much closer. Seungmin looked into my eyes before saying, âCheers.â We both took the shot and heard loud cheers from the other couple.Â
âSi Hyun, come dance with me! Y/n, you should come too!â She said pulling Seungmin and me out of our seats and drastically changing the topic in her drunken state. Si Hyun followed happily as Jin Ae dragged us to the VIP dance floor. We dance for hours and had a few more drinks. Soon we ended up back in the booth, Jin Ae and Si Hyun sucking each otherâs faces off like some creatures out of the movie Alien. Seungmin, sat next to me his arm lazily draped behind me over the back of the booth.Â
âYah! We canât be the only two kissing!â Si Hyun said suddenly, his words slurring. âSeungmin, kiss your woman. Show her you love her!â He let out a nervous laugh. âHyung, we donât normally do that type of stuff.â Jin Ae whined in her annoying voice. âWhat?! You donât kiss?âÂ
âNo! What he means is, we donât usually kiss in public. We can get carried away to easily.â I interjected. They seemed content with my answer. âI certainly know what you mean there!â Her lips captured Si Hyunâs in a sloppy kiss, causing both Seungmin and me to cringe and roll our eyes. âStill! We are all friends here! No one cares if you get carried away! Fuck on the couch for all we care!â Jin Ae said over the music.Â
The two of them looked at us expectantly, waiting for us to do as asked. Fuck, I couldnât think of a way out. Seungmin desperately glanced at me, hoping I would think of something he hadnât but I came up empty. âFine, you want to see us kiss so badly?â Seungmin asked. Iâm sure they couldnât tell over the blaring bass but I heard Minâs voice shake as his arm came down to rest on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him so that our sides were pressed together.Â
âYes! Do it! Iâm eager to see this uncontrollable passion Y/n says you have!â Jin Ae said wiggling her perfectly plucked eyebrows. God damn it. Why did I have to say that? Seungmin turned to me already a very short distance away. Gently I pulled down his mask revealing his face fully. His left hand came up to my cheek and he looked into my eyes. There was almost a silent question he was asking. It was one of the things I loved about Seungmin- that we could have entire conversations with just a simple look.Â
My breath caught in my throat as I saw him move closer. Our eyes met briefly before I looked down at his lips. Why wasnât he making the move? If he didnât do it soon they might suspect something? Growing impatient, I closed my eyes and smashed my lips onto his closing the tiny distance. Seungmin hesitated to kiss me back but soon he took control. His hand slid down my body to rest on my thigh. The touch sent shivers down my spine. As he kissed me again he pulled part of my leg closer to him, pulling me almost into his lap.Â
I had never thought kissing Seungmin would be like this. I had never thought about kissing Seungmin. His grip tightened on my thigh as he continued to press rough kisses on my lips. instinctively, my hand went to his jaw and traveled into his hair. He smiled against my lips and his thumb rubbed across the bare skin of my leg. His teeth snagged my bottom lip, pulling at it gently and muffled sound escaped my throat bringing me back to reality. I pulled away out of breath and looked at Seungmin.Â
We had crossed a line. A sort of invisible line there was in every friendship between a boy and a girl. Kissing to convince them was one thing, but something felt different now about the way Seungmin was looking at me. âY/n,â I turned to find once again Si Hyun and Jin Ae making out with full force. âReally? Are they that horny and self-obsessed?â I said sighing. I didnât even worry about them hearing me.Â
By the time it was three a.m, all four of us were slightly stumbling to our rooms- some more than others. Seungmin had an arm thrown casually over my shoulder and we watched as Si Hyun raced down the hall with a squealing Jin Ae on his back. I rolled my eyes and looked at Seungmin who scoffed. It always seemed like they were putting on a show for someone.Â
âYAH! DONGSAENG!â Jin Ae screamed. âUnnie, be quiet! There are people sleeping!â I said putting on another fake smile, but she was too drunk to notice. âShhhh! I expect you to fuck him good tonight! Right? Give your husband what he deserves!â She slurred. âIâm sure it wonât be as good as how well Iâm going to fuck my Si Hyun, but do well!â She hung off of her husband like a wet curtain smiling with a crazy look in her eyes as she began to kiss all along the side of his neck.
âSeungmin! You use protection! You and meâŚwe canât have kids with our careers too early.â With one last clap on the shoulder, Si Hyun opened their door and they disappeared within the room. We walked into our room only to be met with a loud bang against our wall followed by some very lewd sounds. âHoly shit! Are our walls really that thin?â Seungmin quickly put a hand to my lips keeping me quiet. âWhat?â I mouthed to him. âTheyâre showing off! They are trying to prove they are better than us at you knowâŚ.â He whispered.
âFuck them. We canât let them think that!â
âAre you really suggesting we-â
âSeungmin!âÂ
âSorry, thatâs what you were implying.â
I scoffed as Jin Ae loudly and dramatically called out Si Hyunâs name. âWhat should we do? They are probably listening.â Seungmin whispered. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I walked closer to the wall and as loudly as I could manage I let out a strangled moan. âAhhh Seungmin!â I looked over to see Seungmin frozen in place. A crimson blush flooded his cheeks and ears. The sight was almost as cute as it was funny.
âWha- what ar- what are you doing?â
âShhh! Just follow my lead.âÂ
He jumped as my hands pulled at the hem of his shirt. âShhh Just trust me!â I said with a laugh. He let me pull the shirt over his head and push him over to the bed. Loud and overdramatic sounds were still coming from the room next to us. âOkay now grunt, really loud.âÂ
The sound he made sounded more like he was constipated and I did my best to hold back my laughter as I sat next to him on the bed. âNo, like grunt, moan, sex noises. Come on!â He tried again but only slightly improved. âCome on Seungmin we have to make this convincing!â My hand flew across his cheek and he screamed in shock. I shoved Minâs shirt into his open mouth muffling the sound making it sound more like a moan. âSee more like that!âÂ
âAhhh Seungmin! Again!â I moaned. Seungmin arched a brow and took the shirt out of his mouth. âShit, Y/n! Just like that!â He groaned loudly, a bright smile on his face as he tried not to laugh at the situation. âOh fuck!â I whined, making Seungmin fall back onto the bed trying to keep in his laughter. âQuick get up on the bed!â I whispered. Seungmin stood on the bed with me and looked to me for what to do next. âOkay jump!â Both of us started jumping causing the headboard to bang against the wall.Â
âOh fuck! Harder, Min!â I screamed. I started jumping closer to the head of the bead so the sound would be louder. The sounds from their room started to dwindle until suddenly there was a loud combination of moans and strung together curse words. âCome on Seungmin we can last longer than that!â I whispered. âGod-Y/n!â He moaned again, the sound becoming more natural.Â
âSeungmin! Fuck Iâm so close!â The two of you laughed as you continued to jump on the bed faster. I let out a strangled set of moans before a loud and high pitched whine at the end that could almost be a scream. âKeep jumping!â I whispered. He nodded and continued to groan and string together some dirty talk I didnât know he had in him.Â
âFuck, you take me so well! Ahh!â I couldnât help but giggle interrupting the moan I was previously imitating. Seungmin pressed a finger to his lips with a smile. âOkay, big finale. Just trust me, okay.â Seungmin nodded with a grin as he continued to jump. I stopped jumping and caught my breath. This was almost as much of a workout as actual sex. To seal the deal I gave Seungmin a hard and swift kick to the balls sending him crumpling over and letting out the perfect groan that to any ear would sound perfectly convincing.
I joined him in letting out another strangled moan. Seungmin lay on the bed, his hands between his legs. âI fucking hate you,â Seungmin whispered his voice considerably higher. âYou love me,â Rushing over to the mini-fridge I grabbed a cold bottle of Coke and handed it to Seungmin who immediately placed it against his crotch.Â
âIf it helps, it sounded very convincing,â I said with a laugh. Seungmin glared at me from his spot on the bed. âOh wait!â I said sitting up and grabbing Seungminâs hand. âPinch me!â I said. He pinched me very hard on the wrist. âAh! Not there, you idiot!â Bringing his had up to my neck he nodded. He pinched the skin on my neck hard. âAgain.â
His hand moved lower to just below my collar bone and he pinched hard there as well. I rushed to the bathroom and checked the marks. They were red, but not as convincing as the real deal. You could tell when you had a hickey. This didnât look like one. With an aggravated sigh, I returned to the bedroom and pushed Seungmin onto his back. âHold still. Mine donât look real.â Seungmin froze in shock as I leaned over and pressed my lips to his neck, near his jaw.Â
âOkay either move your head, or Iâm getting on top of you,â I said when Seungmin lay frozen looking up at me, his head unmovable from looking straight forward. Rolling my eyes, I threw my leg over his waist and leaned back over so I could finish making it look real. My teeth must have grazed over a sensitive spot because my movement froze when Seungmin let out a tiny low toned moan. Choosing to ignore it, I moved down to his collar bone and shoulder leaving a couple of marks there too.Â
I pulled away to see a blush covering Minâs ears. He simply looked at me, his lips parted slightly. It was then I noticed his hands and wandered to rest on my thighs. I donât know what compelled me to say what I said next. Maybe it was the adrenaline. Maybe it was the leftover alcohol still circling my system.Â
âNow, you.â
âWhat?â
âDo you know how?â
His brows furrowed as he sat up. He was so close now that our noses softly bumped together. I couldnât tell if he nodded, but Seungmin didnât say anything. His stare flicked from my eyes to my lips before he leaned over and placed his lips just under my jaw. I could feel his teeth softly bite the skin there. A shiver went down my spine when I felt the cooling touch of his tongue soothe over the spot. My hands pressed against his bare chest as he moved to the other side of my neck. On instinct my body let my head roll back, giving his lips full access to my neck.Â
A shaky breath escaped my open lips as his hands moved from my thighs to wrap around my waist, one of them coming up and around to just below the base of my neck. âSeungmin,â I whispered as the bites became open mouth kisses all along my skin. He stopped and let his lips drag up to my jaw. It was like every fiber of my being was standing at attention, waiting for what he would do next.Â
I stared at him through hooded eyes, while his gaze never left my lips. After what seemed like an eternity his lips met mine in a soft and slow kiss. A sort of fog overtook my brain and my body went into autopilot. My hands moved to his neck and wrapped around him. Seungmin pushed me closer to his chest as his lips moved against mine.Â
The blaring of a telephone broke us apart. My head started to spin. In some sort of a daze himself, Seungmin picked up the phone. âYes?â He listened to the speaker intently and then his face visibly changed. âWhatâs wrong?â I asked, finally finding the courage to speak. He ignored me and continued to listen to the person on the other line.
Without warning, he got up from under me and walked towards the patio, but didnât leave the room. I watched Seungmin with tired eyes and a slightly drunk mind as the lean muscles in his back shifted with his movement. Shaking my head I tried to push through the alcoholâs effect.Â
âOkay, yes. Thank you.â
Seungmin turned back to you a stressed expression filling his face. âMin, whatâs up?â He looked back over at me before sitting on the edge of the bed. âI canât talk about it now.â Nodding I moved to give him more space. âIs there anything I can do?â He shook his head and laid back down on the bed.Â
âNo. I just want to sleep.â
I stayed silent and got up from the bed. Going to each light I turned it off and then quickly changed for bed. When I returned Seungmin was already under the covers and staring up at the ceiling. I wanted so badly to reach out and comfort him, but clearly, he didnât want that. I climbed into bed and turned away from him to give him space. Maybe he would tell me in the morning.
A morning breeze once again blew through our open patio door. I turned to find Seungmin gone from his side of the bed. My ears picked up on the sound of the shower running. Sitting up, I clutched my head cursing my past self for drinking so much. Tequila shots were not a good idea. Memories from last night slowly crept to the surface of my mind. We went to the club. Seungmin saved me from that douche bag. We drank with the Kwons. WeâŚ.kissed.Â
We went back to the hotel. Jin Ae was a bitch. We had what could only be described as a fake sex-off. And SeungminâŚkissed me. He kissed me. Like a real kiss. Not a fake one like at the club. That was a full on fucking make out session. I mean I was drunk. He was tipsy. It probably didnât mean anything. Why did that thought disappoint me?Â
Looking over I saw a glass of water on the nightstand as well as a bottle of ibuprofen. Smiling a took the pills Seungmin left me and pulled my phone out to look at the time. The door opened and Min walked out in shorts and a hoodie before. âMorning,â I said. He looked over and nodded at me before sitting at the table with his laptop. âThanks for the medicine.â He shrugged his shoulders and continued typing, but I swore I saw the tiniest smile.
âLooks like breakfast is in a couple minutes.â Seungmin nodded again and continued to look at his laptop with a serious expression. Getting up and grabbing clothes from my suitcase I went into the bathroom to change. Immediately, my eyes landed on my neck and I almost screamed. Scattered across either side were dark hickeys all down my neck.Â
âHey, Seungmin!â I called out. âYeah?â âWill you grab my concealer from my bag?â After some shuffling, Seungmin knocked on the door before entering. His eyes instantly went to my neck and stayed there while he handed me the makeup. âYouâre covering them up? I though the whole point was to see them.â I turned back to the mirror just in time to miss Seungminâs smirk as he looked at the dark marks he made all over your neck.
âIâm just gonna cover up this one.â He nodded and left the bathroom. I went about covering the biggest mark and then changing clothes before applying a little bit of makeup for the day. As I exited the bathroom Seungmin was getting off the phone with someone. âY/n we need to talk.â Sitting on the bed, I nodded and looked back over to him. âOkay.â
âItâs about last night.â
I tried to hide the blush as the heat flooded every inch of my face. âWhat about last night?â I asked innocently. Just play dumb. I can always say April Fools if he asks me about it. Wait-fuck itâs not April.Â
âThere was a picture of us taken last night.â
âLast night?â
âYeah at the club.â
He tossed me his phone, a page already pulled up to a very popular gossip blog.The picture clear as day showed Seungmin and I making out in the booth. It also hand a close up of my hand which was on his jaw. The ring sparkled in the colored lights. The headline read: Stray Kids Main Vocalist, Kim Seungmin Spotted With His Secret Wife At Jeju Club.
Scrolling down I saw more pictures of the two of us. In the club. Walking out with Si Hyun and Jin Ae. Even Seungmin opening the car door for me. More articles popped up in the recommended. Titles like: Seungminâs Hidden Marriage, Seungminâs Mystery Girl, STAYâs Response to Seungminâs Secret Marriage.
âOh my god,â I looked up to see Seungmin had started to wander outside. Probably giving me time to process the situation. His ringtone sounded in the room making me jump. Looking down I saw the stupidest picture of Jisung.
âHello,â
âY/n? Have you heard whatâs going on? Are you okay? Wait why do you have Seungminâs phone?â
âHe stepped out for a minute. Yes, I saw the articles.â
âARE YOU ACTUALLY MARRIED TO SEUNGMIN?â
His voice was so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear. Rolling my eyes I brought the phone back to my ear. Running a hand through my hair I couldnât help but chuckle at my friend.Â
âI donât know how to explain it. Itâs kind of complicated.â
âMan, Y/n. I thought you and I were endgame. Way to betray me.â
I couldnât help but laugh. Jisung and I were close friends. Sure we flirted sometimes but we both knew getting together would be a terrible idea. For much the same reason that Seungmin and I were now in trouble.
âBut, really are you and Seungmin married?â
âNo.â
âBut youâve kissed him?â
ââŚ.yesâŚ.â
âAnd you have a ring?â
ââŚ..yesâŚâ
âWhat more to marriage is there?â
âWell for one thing legal documents, dumbass.â
His laugh could be heard probably even without the phone. âSo, itâs not real?â âNo,â I then started to explain everything that had happened to us in the past few days. Even the part about last night. âYou kicked Seungmin in the balls!â Now hearing it out loud it was pretty funny.
âBut, seriously. TheâŚother stuffâŚDo you like Seungmin?â Did I like Seungmin? I watched as he stood on the patio. He looked really stressed. My thoughts drifted to last night and the last couple of days. Did I really like Seungmin? Friends definitely didnât do what we did last night. And they certainly didnât act like how we were acting. But, it was all because of the fake marriage right? All for a discount? But, then again. I didnât have to say I was married to that guy in the club. And Seungmin couldâve let that guy hit on me if he wanted to.Â
âAre you dramatically rethinking the entirety of the last couple of days?â
âShut up.â
âSo, Iâm taking that as a yes?â
Maybe Jisung was right. âI think so? Maybe⌠I donât know. Weâve been friends for so long. I donât really know if I can tell.â A sigh escaped my lips filling the empty room. Now my thoughts were running a a mile a minute through my head.
âCan I give you some advice?â
âSure, why not.â
âIf someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it. No reasons. No excuses. Seungmin does that for you.â
The thought made me smile. Did Seungmin really care about me that much? Quickly I finished up the conversation and walked out onto the patio, joining Seungmin. âJisung called.â He gave me a half assed smile before taking back his phone. âCome on. We should head to breakfast.âÂ
Perhaps it was the conversation with his hyung, but I couldnât help but notice Seungminâs hand on my back as we walked back inside to leave. The staff all smiled at us as we made our way back out to the restaurant. As usual Si Hyun and Jin Ae were seated at the table. Seungmin took my hand without warning as we approached the table.Â
âY/n! I had so much fun last night!â She said in her shrill voice. âMe too! I loved clubbing with you!â Seungmin tried not to laugh at how fake my voice sounded as we sat down. Lightly I elbowed his stomach and he regained his composure. He draped his arm behind my chair letting his fingers brush my arm when he saw the waiter from a few days ago walk up to our table.
âIâll have a mimosa. My hangover is killing me.â Jin Ae said not even sparing the boy a second glance. Si Hyun ordered a black coffee and before I could speak, Seungmin ordered for me. âIâll take an americano and she wants a chai latte with a glass of orange juice too.â Seungmin turned back to me with a surprised smile.
âYou remember what I drink in the morning?âÂ
âOf course.â
âThatâs so sweet,â
He smiled and leaned in to place a kiss on my lips. It shocked me at first, since I had been the one to initiate our âfake kissesâ. He chuckled when he pulled away, seeing my face. âYah, dongsaeng. Thatâs quite the love bite on your neck.â Jin Ae said with a smirk clearly pointing at my neck.Â
âYeah, we heard you guys last night. Didnât know little Minnie was so rough in bed.â Si Hyun sent Seungmin a look and he scoffed before sipping on his water. âAh, hyung. Letâs talk about something else.â He laughed and thanked the waiter as our drinks arrived. The conversation finally drifted away from last nights events and onto todayâs schedule and ordering.Â
Breakfast was delicious despite the company. Seungmin and I did our best to ignore them and spend time with each other. That was what we came here for in the first place. Right? This time it was Seungmin who threw us under the Kwon bus when he absentmindedly agreed to accompany them to the beach for something called the Couple Comp.Â
The second we were out of eyesight I slapped his shoulder repeatedly making him laugh. âHey! Stop!â âSeungmin what the fuck!ââ He laughed as he ran back to our hotel room with me right on his heels. âWhy did you agree to go?â He opened the door and jumped back onto the bed. âBecause I love the beach and you love kicking their ass. Well I also love kicking their ass, but Iâm excited about the beach too.â
Rolling my eyes, I pulled a swimsuit out of my suitcase. âI thought we needed to figure out the whole photo thing.â Seungmin shrugged and pulled out his phone. âI called my manager this morning. We talked and figured something out. He said he will release a statement tonight after talking to the CEO.â Did they really fix things that quickly? I thought a scandal like this would be moreâŚ.scandal-y?Â
âSo you arenât getting kicked out because of me?â Seungmin shook his head with a laugh. The biggest sigh of relief left my chest and I jumped on top of him giving him the biggest hug. He laughed and hugged me back. âYah, come on. We can celebrate this later. We have pretentious asses to kick.âÂ
âYouâre completely correct. Letâs go.âÂ
Quickly we changed and raced down to the beach. Seungmin signed us into the contest and returned with two matching purple Hawaiian style shirts. "They said each couple had to wear these." He handed me mine and tossed his white t-shirt off to the side with my stuff. He slipped his arms through the shirt and then helped me put on mine. "At least you back won't get burned now." He said laughing.
Hand in hand we walked over to Jin Ae who was sipping on a margarita. Si Hyun was next to her sporting the same yellow Hawaiian shirt as his wife. Surrounded by other couples in brightly colored shirts we waited near a stage for further instruction. Seungmin and I talked just like old times. We joked and laughed. He told me funny stories about the boys, making time fly by faster in his company.Â
By the time the MC stepped on stage, the sun was high in the sky and burning down on us. Seungmin stood behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist, acting a sunshade for me with his shadow. Â
âWelcome, welcome, welcome!â The happy man said. âAre you guys ready to find out who the best couple is?â The crowd erupts into happy screams. Jin Ae blows my ear off next to me and Min cheers from behind me. âThe first challenge we are going to do is for the men!â Everyone cheers once again as the MC starts to explain. The first competition was a relay race where the first twelve men moved on with their partners.Â
We all walked over to the course where the men lined up. Jin Ae gave her husband a huge smack on the lips. With a smirk he tossed her the yellow shirt revealing a very...very...very toned torso. The kind of torso that sent cartoon hearts popping out of my eyes and sirens playing in my head.Â
âHey. You gonna wish me luck or not?â Seungmin said turning me to face him. There was a harsh look on his face and I noticed him shoot a glare at Si Hyun. âOh, yeah. Sorry. Good luck!â His face softened when he saw my bright smile. Without warning he kissed me, his hand dropping to my waist and his free hand tangling his fingers with mine.Â
My heart skipped a beat. Closing my eyes I kissed him back resting my palm on his chest. My head started spinning when I felt his teeth pull on my bottom lip before Seungmin pulled away and kissed my cheek. âHold this?â All I could do was stare Seungmin in the eye, frozen, as he removed the purple shirt and put it in my hands.Â
Seungmin was slim but toned in all the right places. âCheer for me, gorgeous?â He laughed at my frozen state and raised an eyebrow. âY/n,â Shaking myself out of hot Seungmin world I nodded and smiled at him. He waved as he went to join the other guys.Â
The relay was really challenging. The boys were doing a really tough relay race that ended with them swimming out to a platform, grabbing a flag and then swimming back to shore. I screamed at the top of my lungs as Seungmin grabbed our purple flag. Si Hyun was only a few yards ahead of him. Jin Ae cheered as her husband crossed the finish line. Seungmin followed soon after, running up to me out of breath.Â
I wrapped my arms around him, not caring that he was still soaking wet. He gave a breathy sigh and weakly draped his arms around my waist. My fingers tangled in his hair and I held on tightly to his shoulder. âIâm sorry, I didnât win.âÂ
âNo! Iâm proud of you, Min! Iâll kick her ass in the next round.â The boys dried off and the next challenge began. The remaining twelve girls got up onstage with the MC as he announced the next challenge. âFor our wonderful ladies we have a beauty contest!â Jin Ae cheered next to me along with the other girls. I saw Seungmin and Si Hyun cheer and move up towards the front of the stage.Â
The girls shed their shirts and begin parading around in their swimsuits for the judges. Seungmin gave me a thumbs up as I walked on stage in line with the other girls. I put on my biggest smile and tried not to think about the big ass omelette I had for breakfast. Of course Jin Ae was in front of me with her big boobs and freaking thigh gap.Â
The judges deliberated and announced there was a tie for the first slot. They told two of the girls they were eliminated and went through the lineup until they got to me and Jin Ae. âThe judges have determined there is a tie between these to beautiful ladies!â Everyone cheered as the MC walked over to us with the mic. âWhatâs your name?â The man said eyeing Jin Ae up and down. She grabbed the mic and waved to the audience. âHello! I am Kwon Jin Ae! This is my dongsaeng but donât think Iâm going to go easy on her!â She cheered happily giving me the side eye. The audience cheered and some of them pulled out their phones.Â
âWhat about you?âÂ
âOh, Iâm L/-- uh Kim Y/n. She may be my unnie but I about to kick her ass.â Seungmin cheered and I waved to him before handing the mic back to the man. âOkay these ladies are each going to pick a song and the best performance based on the crowdâs reaction wins!â The crowd cheers and my eyes light up. All those nights dancing in my living room with Seungmin or my roommate would finally pay off.
âWhat is your song choice, Jin Ae?â She thinks about it and then finally says. âI want to do Devil by CLC!â The crowd cheers and pulls out their phones once more as the MC motions me off the stage so she can perform. Seungmin latches on to me immediately. The music starts and Seungmin turns to me with a big smile and says, âY/n youâve got this in the bag.â I grin and turn back to watching her performance. She doesnât do terribly. She only forgets a couple moves but makes up for it by jumping around and winking at the judges. She finishes and the crowd claps and cheers. Seungmin kisses my cheek and then sends me back up on stage.Â
âHow about that guys? What about you? You think you can do better than that?â
âOh for sure. My husband would be disappointed in me if this is the challenge I failed at.âÂ
âSo, what song are you picking?â
âUm...Letâs do Lip & Hip by HyunA.âÂ
The crowd cheers and the MC goes over to the stereos to queue up the song. The familiar tune comes on and I roll my hips like in the video and I hear the crowd go crazy. I just let my body do what it remembers and I focus on what Seungmin told me was the most important thing in a performance. Charisma.Â
I just channeled being Queen HyunA and strutted across that stage and danced like I was one of her back up dancers. I rapped along to the song and made sure to hit every beat. As the chorus hit I dropped and danced along. The crowd went crazy and I saw Seungmin cheering like crazy with wide eyes.Â
For the second chorus I didnât have a partner so I just free styled and had fun with it. Seungmin cheered me on and filmed me on his phone. God, if only HyunA could see me fucking slaying this song. The last note played and I posed and smiled. The crowd cheered and Jin Ae joined me on stage a sway in her step.Â
âWow! What a performance! Who votes for Jin Ae?â The MC takes Jin Aeâs hand and the crowd cheers making her grin and do that fake humility thing everyone hates. âWho thinks Y/n did the best?â He takes my hand and the crowd erupts in noise. Everyone is screaming and cheering for me and I canât help but laugh and blush. âItâs pretty clear who the winner of this challenge is. Congratulations, Kim Y/n you and your husband have a guaranteed spot in the next challenge!â I cheer and Seungmin runs up on stage and spins me around before pressing his lips to mine.Â
I was too excited to even think about the fact that I kissed him back without hesitation. Everyone cheered and we moved on with the competition. Several challenges later it is just down to us and the mother fucking fake ass Kwons. The sun is setting and we have spent the entire day trying to prove that we are in fact the ultimate couple. How ironic.
The last challenge was called âHow Well Do You Know Your Partner.â We went head to head answering questions about each other for points. They were ruthless. But we wanted it so bad. It was down to the final question. âY/n. You are tied with the Kwons. If you get this question right, you and Seungmin win.â
I nodded clutching the whiteboard in my hands. Seungmin rested his hand on my knee next to me. A warm wind blew across the stage and the waves good be heard over the music they were playing.
âY/n...What did Seungmin want to be as a kid?âÂ
âOh I know this.â Seungmin laughed at me and wrote his answer on his whiteboard. âY/n, what is your answer?â I flipped my board and said, âSeungmin wanted to be a professional baseball player. A pitcher if you want to be specific.â The MC turns to Seungmin who flips his board to reveal his answer.Â
âWOW! That is correct! Congratulations, Kim Seungmin and Kim Y/n! You are the best couple at Jeju Islandâs Luxury Resort!â They give us weird graphic tees and a huge gift certificate. At the corner of my eye I see Jin Ae glaring over at the two of us as the rest of the crowd cheers. âCongratulations again! Now we have bonfire party for everyone on the beach so go have fun!â Everyone heads over to the beach and starts swimming and partying as the sun goes down.Â
Seungmin and I wander off as the night goes on, beers in hand as we walk down the shoreline, firelight fading in the distance. âYou know what I just realized?â He shook his head and took a swig from his bottle. âI havenât checked my phone all day. I had so much fun just hanging out with you.â He laughed and slung an arm around my shoulder.
âWell, we are still trending if you were wondering.â I reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone. âWhy do guysâ swim trunks have pockets? That is so unfair.â Seungmin scoffed and looked at me as I put in his passcode. âAre you saying you could fit pockets in that tiny thing youâre wearing?âÂ
âThat is irrelevant I want pockets.â
He laughed and looked up at the night sky while I scrolled through Twitter. He was right, we were still trending. STAY and other fans were going crazy over the photos. Apparently a couple people from the crowd had posted the video of me winning the contest with Seungmin. I laughed and read a tweet a loud to Seungmin.
âSeungminâs girl is a boss ass bitch look at her dancing to HyunA! JYP cast her NOW!â Seungmin laughed and turned to me, stopping our little stroll. âIâm tired, you wanna sit?â Nodding, I kept looking at the responses on Twitter. Seungmin sat next to me his hair blowing softly in the wind. I was very aware of him watching me and laughing at me reactions to the posts.Â
My brows furrow as I see a post from JYP Entertainmentâs official page. I clicked on the post and read the statement.
Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.Â
We would like to address the rumors about one of our idols, Kim Seungmin from Stray Kids. We appreciate your patience and hope you will continue to support Seungmin and his members. Yes, Kim Seungmin is in a relationship. He is not married to the person shown in the photos taken by Dispatch, though.Â
We have been in contact with him while he is on his break. He has addressed this personally and would like to clarify that it is not a wedding ring, but a promise ring he gave as a gift. At this time we cannot release the name of the woman Kim Seungmin is seeing but we hope you can support Seungmin and his love for her.
âSeungmin, what is this?â He gently takes his phone back from me before reading the post. âItâs the statement addressing the rumors. Why?â Fully turning to Seungmin, I tried to read his expression in the dark. âWhy? It says were dating. This could destroy your image! You could lose fans.â
He smirked and looked me up and down. âYou havenât said no.â
âWhat?â
âYou havenât said we arenât dating.â
Blinking a few times, I just stared at him in the dark. Did he just say what I think he said? Did Seungmin....my best friend really just say that. That cocky little shit. He laughed at me and grabbed my hands, still holding the phone. âSeungmin, you prick! Is this your way of asking me out?â I said smacking his shoulder.
âYou have to do it properly, you jerk!â
Laughing, he took his phone and slipped it back in his pocket. Giving me that signature smile of his that drove thousands of girls wild, including me, he took my hands in his and looked me in the eye.Â
âHey, Y/n L/n, will you go out with me?âÂ
âNo.âÂ
âWhat?â
âSorry I was just in it for the discount.â
Seungmin stared at me. I saw real disappointment flash across his face and he started to let go of my hands. âIâm just kidding! Of course!â Seungmin let out the biggest sigh his hands covering his face. âY/n!â He yelled falling on his back. âThat was so cruel!â I couldnât help but laugh and lean over him to see the look on his face. He moved his hands and looked up at me with a smile on his lips.Â
Reaching up he pulled me down to his lips. Seungmin smiled against my lips before he pulled away looking up at me. âDoes this mean I can give you name to the press?â He asked, pushing a piece of hair away from my face.  âOnly if you take me to the next HyunA concert and I get to cuddle with you in bed tonight.â
âI guess to the first one and the second one is a definite. Duh.â Laughing, I leaned down and pressed another kiss to his lips. âNow we can really kick the Kwonsâ ass in couple world.â Seungmin played with my fingers and chuckled. âDidnât we do that just now?â âYeah, well that didnât count.â
âOh, really?â
âYeah, you better take us back for Valentineâs Day so we can beat Jin Ae and Si Hyun to the ground.â
âNot cause you want to spend time with me?â
â.....yeah...that too!â
Hope you all enjoyed! I apologize if there were spelling errors!
Requests are open!

Happy Birthday {Viktor Krum One Shot}
Requested by: Anonymous Wordcount: 2734 Summary: Your birthday did not go as planned.
You stood as still as one of the statues. Well, more still than one of them since this was Hogwarts and nothing ever stayed in one place for very long around here. You shrank back a little more into the shadows as the person that you were avoiding walked past. You even went as far as to hold your breath so there wouldnât be the slightest sound coming from your direction. Footsteps echoed down the corridor. There were two voices of students at the end of the hall who were speaking about the Hogsmeade visit coming up, but they quickly went quiet as they saw who was coming. Not everyone had the time to hide. Instead, they just lowered their heads and tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as they could. The way that this man looked at people immediately made them feel as if they were doing something wrong and would be severely punished for it, even if there was no bad deed being done. You bit down on your lip harshly to keep yourself from letting out a shaky breath as the shadowy figure went past you. It continued on itâs way, not giving you a glance. Only when you were sure that it was gone did you let yourself breathe, your head falling back in relief.
âVat are you doing?â A voice said from beside you, making you nearly jump inside your skin. You held your hand to your chest, feeling your heartbeat start to calm down from the scare. The surprise wasnât over though, for you had never before spoken to the young man who was beside you. Viktor Krum - star of Durmstrang and the Bulgarian Quidditch Team. âI did not mean to scare you-â
âItâs alright,â You said, regaining your composure, and gave him a smile. Of course you knew that he was famous, and well, incredibly good looking, but those things didnât make you nervous in the slightest. âI was hiding. If I got caught, I would have been in big trouble.â
âVas that Professor looking for you?â Viktor asked with concern. You nodded solemnly, turning to make sure that he wasnât coming back. âVat did you do?â
âProfessor Snape, that is,â You said, wondering if he had heard any of the rumors around Hogwarts, such as which teachers to avoid and all that. âI skipped his class this morning, and if he finds out that it wasnât because of an emergency, well, heâll be using my body parts for those potions of his.â
Viktor looked horrified by the concept of that, but then slowly grew amused. You could tell by the little smile on his face that he was cooking up some questions for you. Oh boy - here we go. âVhy did you skip class, and vhy are you sneaking out now?â Here he was, a famous Quidditch player, asking you about skipping class. This certainly was not how you thought your day was going to go. You looked around again before you began to answer.
âWell, you see...â You stammered, trying to figure out  how to say this without coming across as seeking attention. There wasnât really anyway around it. âItâs my birthday today and double potions first thing in the morning is not how I wanted to spend it. So I turned off my alarm clock and I slept in. Until about an hour ago actually. It fell on a weekend the last few years so there wasnât a problem but... well, obviously, this week itâs my enemy. And I snuck out because Iâm off to go and see Hagrid, the groundskeeper. Iâm helping him to take care of the Abraxans.â
That was evidently not what Viktor had expected to hear, but he found it curious nonetheless. âYou English are so strange,â He said, shaking his head. âYou skip class ... to vork ... on your birthday?â
âOh, itâs  not really work! I love to do it. I was honored that he and Madame Maxine approved of me for the task. Only the best Care of the Magical Creatures students were picked. I get to groom them, give them their barrels of whiskey - once I even took a sip for myself before they got their snouts in. Nasty stuff. Not sure why they like it, but thatâs creatures for you,â You ranted, barely realizing that you were doing it. Social interaction was not something that you got a lot of. Not that you werenât liked or anything, you just didnât have many friends. By the time you started to come out of your shell, all of the cliques had been formed, and had been for years.
It was a little hard for Viktor to take in. He was far from perfect at English, though he understood the basics. Though some of your words were rather rushed, he was able to get the general idea. The light in your eyes and the smile on the corner of your lips was enough for him to see how you were passionate about working with the animals. âStrange,â He repeated.
âOh Merlin, youâre not going to tell on me are you? Because that would be a very cruel thing to do to me on my birthday,â You said, realizing that you had just admitted your rule breaking to a stranger. âI just really messed up, didnât I?â
âHow could I tell on you, vhen I donât know your name?â Viktor asked. Immediately, you introduced yourself, saying your name out loud, and you were about to tell him that he didnât have to introduce himself because everyone and their mother knew about Viktor Krum since the World Cup but -
âOh Merlin,â You groaned once more. âI really am thick, arenât I? Now you know my name and you could definitely go and tattle on me. Go on then. Might as well tell Filch to get the thumb-cuffs ready.â
Viktor chuckled, which stopped you from admonishing yourself even more. âVhat I was going to say vas - happy birthday, y/n. Did you get any presents?â
âOh, well, thank you,â You blinked. You reached into the pocket of your robe and pulled out the letter that your parents had sent you. You liked to carry it around with you on your birthday, because it made you feel like they were a bit closer to you. âMy parents sent me a bit of money to get myself a treat at Hogsmeade tomorrow. I was thinking perhaps a cake-â
âI would not count on that, y/l/n.â
The voice of the person that you dreaded came from the end of the hallway.
You had been out in the open for too long.
You closed your eyes and winced as footsteps came closer, and  you could smell the musky scent that came from being around potion ingredients all of the time. Professor Snape always smelled like an apothocary. Even Viktor stood silent as the dark haired professor came in closer. It was like the dementors that he had heard about - like all joy was sucked from the corridor because he had entered in.
âDoes this corridor lead to the hospital wing?â Professor Snape asked you. Keeping your eyes closed, you shook your head. âWell?â He prodded.
âNo, Professor.â
âI see. It appears that youâre standing, which means that you did not lose your legs. So it is seeming like you had no excuse to miss out on your lesson this morning.â
âNo professor,â You repeated. You had learned your lesson against arguing with Snape very early on. He had it in for you, ever since you accidentally spilled the porcupine quills upon him and they had stuck into his cloak and poked his backside.
âThat means ten points from your house, and you lose tomorrowâs Hogsmeade privileges,â He said, clearly and concisely so there was no chance of you misunderstanding.
âBut Professor, it is-â Viktor said, starting to stand up for you but one look from the Slytherin head made him shut his mouth. The only person who came close to being this intimidating was his own headmaster.
âDo not make excuses for y/l/n. I will not hesitate to get Karkaroff involved.â Snape threatened. Viktor looked like he wanted to say more once the threat was made, but you inched yourself between the two men.
âIâm sorry Professor Snape, it will not happen again,â You said, cutting off Viktor before the first syllable came out of his mouth. This was your way of paying him back for trying to stand up for you. You didnât want him to get in trouble, especially for your own sake. You put on your most humble expression, your shoulders slouching, your eyes downcast and all. You really were disappointed. This was not turning out to be a good birthday at all.
âWe will see.â
-
You sat by yourself in the Great Hall, Most of the other students hadnât made it back from Hogsmeade yet, but a few had and were sharing what they had bought not too far away. You sighed, and rested your head against the wooden surface of the table, trying to cool your headache. Your birthday had not been a good one, since Snape had made you go to your afternoon class, then make up for what you missed in his. You didnât get to go help with the Abraxans and worst of all, you didnât even get to go to Hogsmeade for a Butterbeer and a slice of cake. âThis is the worst year ever,â You grumbled to yourself.
You heard someone parking themselves across the table from you. Expecting it to be some worrisome first year, you said, âIâm fine, I donât need the Hospital Wing, Iâm just miserable.â
âI vould be too,â Viktorâs now familiar voice and accent rang out. â- if my birthday had been like yours.â
âIf only it was something a doctor could make better,â You said, rising up to sit with your back straight. You took in the opportunity to drink in the appearance of the good looking manâs face, but became distracted when he put a bag onto the table. It bore the undeniable stamp of Honeydukes on it, making you miss the village even more. Oh Honeydukes - you could barely stand the thought of all of those treats without you being there to admire them, to love them, to pick up a cauldron cake lovingly and take a little bite. âHave you come to rub it in that I couldnât go?â You asked, feeling more miserable than before.
Viktor looked confused, trying to figure out what you were saying. He almost looked like a lost little puppy when he did that. âIt is ... not lotion.â He said, blankly. Then it was your turn to be confused, before realizing that he had taken ârub it inâ more literally than you had meant it.
âRight, sorry,â You said instead of explaining. âWhat goodies did you get for yourself, and wonât you get in trouble for it? Donât Quidditch players have to be highly disciplined and fit?â
Viktor chuckled at that, reaching into the bag. âIs not all for me,â He explained. He pulled a box out of the bottom of the bag. It was wrapped neatly with a colored ribbon - the same color theme of your Hogwarts house. You gasped as he pushed it towards you, and you were able to see through the plastic top to the contents. Inside of it was a cake, custom made from Honeydukes. It was covered in a chocolate icing with âHappy Birthdayâ and your name on it. Well, almost your name. It was misspelt, but you imagined it was how Viktor had pronounced it. The icing matched the ribbon, and it had magical swirls on it that looked almost like the sky in Van Goghâs Starry Night. âHappy Birthday!â
âYouâre crazy,â You said, unwrapping the ribbon. You took it off slowly, making sure not to rip it, then tied it around your wrist as a sort of bracelet. You would take every little bit of this as a present, even the wrapping. When you opened up the box, the smell of the freshly baked cake took over your senses, making your mouth water. The buttery goodness, the icing which was just the perfect amount - not too much, the flavors mixed in with the cake. It could not have come cheap. Youâve bought cakes from there before, and even just a small plain one with no decoration could be a couple galleons. âYou didnât have to do this.â
âIf I didnât stop to talk, you vouldnât have been caught,â Viktor said, a little bit of pink coming through his immaculate facial hair. âItâs my fault.â
âOh no, I didnât want you to feel guilty. Talking with you was the best part of my birthday actually,â You fingered the ribbon on your wrist, looking down at the cake. It was so beautiful that the thought of cutting into it was almost physically painful. But it wasnât all that you were given. Viktor brought out more things - Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Sugar Quills. A bit of everything, actually, and soon you were surrounded by all of the treats. âYouâre absolutely mental,Viktor Krum.â
âIâve never had theez-â He said, ignoring your comment and opened up a pack of the every flavored beans. âAre they good?â
âIt depends on what you-â Before you could stop him, he pulled a green bean out of the packet and popped it into his mouth.
You winced, knowing that it could have been a variety of flavors, most of them not nice. You had your lime, swamp, broccoli, celery, watermelon, gingerale, kiwi...
Viktorâs face screwed up in unpleasantness, and he forced himself to swallow. âIt tastes like - like - grass!â He announced loudly and with disgust. You couldnât help but laugh at how his face had contorted like that. You patted his arm comfortably, and pushed a pumpkin pasty in his direction.
âIt really does mean every flavor. Here, this should help get the taste out of your mouth.â You watched as Viktor opened up the packaging quickly and shoved half of the treat into his mouth. He seemed relieved when it helped, sinking down and his eyes showing gratefulness.
âThank you. English are strange.â
âYeah, we are,â You said with a nod and with a shrug. You took the Bertie Bottâs Beans from him and shuffled around. You pulled out one that was a nice golden brown color. Earwax, toffee, tea, mud? You bit off half of it, then let it roll onto your tongue to get the flavor. âHere,â You handed him the other half. âItâs caramel, and not half bad. I promise.â
Viktor took it and rolled it between his fingers. He wasnât ready for another bad experience, but he trusted you so he put it in his mouth and bit down. The sweet taste of caramel, velvety and rich, filled his mouth, mixing well with the pumpkin. âI get it now - some good and some bad?â
âExactly. Thatâs the fun of it.â You took the cake from in front of you and moved it off to the side for now. âThanks for all of this. My birthday tanked so this was like ... actually really awesome of you.â
Viktor didnât understand what tanked meant, but he did know awesome so he smiled, brightening up immediately. He took hold of your hand, which startled you, and squeezed it. It was so large compared to yours. And so strong. And so calloused and rough. âYou have better birthday today.â
âMuch better,â You agreed with a nod. He laughed and the sound was so infectious that you had to join in. Though the two of you got many stares, you sat together for the rest of the day, eating the different sweets, and sharing the beans. You had a half, he had a half, so you both either suffered together or were delighted together. You definitely considered your belated birthday to be your real one, just for this year.
