When you have words to explain a thing, at least on a verrrry surface level, but not the words to explain any deeper than that.

#Latee speaks#plus memory being bad#though part of me feels like there's nothing really to explain beyond what I've already said#but then I haven't really said all that much I guess...#I wish I knew how to make it clearer...#me and my mom's senses of humor are not completely compatible#mom is understanding without Understanding about it --with me anyway#When I watch things I really don't like cringe humor and get secondhand embarrassed very easily#sometimes over-anticipating it#so I basically spent the Barbie movie rubbing my ears a lot#I didn't hate it-- I overall thought it was ok --if a bit overbearing at times...but I'm not watching again#at least it was my mom and not someone else...#being concerned and asking about it rather than trying to shut it down and saying there's nothing to be cringing about#wow that took a while...I and slow and my brother kept interrupting

Every time I get upset at myself when I remember about how embarrassing I was in the past as a person I'll try to remember that it was a learning experience and I've changed and improved as a person.
I'll try to remember a lot of these lessons I wasn't taught or told, and I had to learn the hard way.
Some of these lessons I was taught and encouraged to do the opposite growing up.
But everyday we're learning, adapting, and changing.
Sometimes it's a lot slower than others, but it's still progress.
#basically remembering about me being embarrassing when it came to boundaries#and learning how to set them- make them clearer- and respect them properly#basically also learning how to human and socialize with others properly#kinda wish i knew what i know now a whole lot earlier but nice we know now instead of never#oh right also lesson us boundaries exist in family too#not only as in your parents having no-nos but youre allowed to have limits as well#starry rambles

[ BEFORE â ONE MONTH SINCE LAST SUMMER ] đź the salt in your wounds still lingers.
just when you thought your life was finally getting better, finally getting back on track after the summer youâve had, everything comes crashing down with just one phone call.
it was like watching a car crash in slow motion, your motherâs face. you knew from the start that your grandma wasnât going to make it, and you couldnât help but feel guilty. a mere month since you left⌠would things be different if you and your mom stayed in her seaside hometown like originally planned? deep down, it felt like it was all your fault.
two more months passed before your grandma passed on. âfrom the sea i came and to the sea i shall return,â she always told you. âdonât be sad when i go, when you see the ocean waves that will be me saying hello.â the day it happened your mom had already booked the next flight out for her funeral.
going through your belongings as you pack your bags makes your guilt run deeper and all it does is make your mind flash back to just three months ago when you were by the sea and everything felt too much. your eyes travel to your dresserâjakeâs note and all the developed pictures sat safely in an old jewelry box that you havenât touched since putting the items in there. you didnât even look at the pictures after you had gotten them developed, it just hurt too much.
still, your mind was muddled and as you finished packing your suitcase to the brim nothing became clearer. these three months gave you plenty of time to think over the entirety of last summer with detached emotionsâa new perspective.
do you still love jake? of course you did, itâs most likely that you always will. how could you not? he was your first love. do you forgive him for everything that he put you through last summer? you still werenât sure.
but damn if you didnât miss him.
for the first time you felt the urge to look at the pictures you and him tookâfingers twitched towards the jewelry box. with a sigh, you stood from your bed and grabbed it, the soft music playing as you opened the lid. carefully, you grabbed the pictures and made your way back to your bed.
as you flipped through all of them, a memory came to the forefront of your mind with each photo.
a smile pulled at your lips at the photo, it was of you with a shocked smile next to a brightly smiling jake. his arm was around your waist and the two of you were almost chest to chest. âi want my first memory to be of you.â
another of the two of you, a wall of graffiti behind youâright after your first kiss. jake was pressing a kiss to your cheek and you looked flustered. âyou said you wanted physical memories, right? say cheese!â
the last one you looked at was of you, jake, and sunghoon before you noticed the tears blurring your vision. the three of you smiling as jake pulled you all close together for the camera. âgroup picture!â
you glanced over to your phone on your bed. even now, jake still contacts you everydayâeven if you donât answer him. mainly itâs been him checking up on you and making sure that youâre okay, asking how your day was. you havenât answered a single one of them, yet he hasnât stopped. against your better judgement, you read every message that came inâthe most recent being his condolences.
you donât know what to say to him. so many things have been left unsaid that every time you go to type a message your fingers freeze and your mind runs with everything you want to tell him. then you decide to just not say anything at all. besides, you didnât think you'd ever see him again, so whatâs the point?
if you were being honest, a part of you is still closed off, untrusting of him. you didnât want to give your heart to him in fear he might break it again. you refused to feel like that again.
with a heavy and shaky sigh you put the pictures back where they belonged and made your way downstairs with your suitcase.
the next day you were on a flight to your motherâs seaside hometown, just like you were three months ago. jakeâs letter filled your mind and your dreams surrounded him.
âi love you. i love you. i loveââ
your mom nudged you awake just as the plane was beginning to land. you rubbed your bleary eyes and blinked rapidly to try and get your eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight. nudging you again, your mom said, âwake up, weâre about to land.â
deja vu hit you and hit you hard. rolling out your sore neck, you prepared yourself for the landing. you still hated planes.
the drive to your auntâs house was silent, as you got settled in and prepared for the funeral it was even quieter. your ears practically rang with the sound of silence and your body felt like it weighed a ton with the heaviness lingering in the air.
you all were dressed in black in the living room. your aunt was desperately trying to lighten the mood, and it was only half working. âcome on everyone, you know sheâd come back from the grave and kill us if she saw our faces right now! she wouldnât want us to be sad.â
your mom nodded sadly, reciting your grandmaâs words. âdonât be sad when i go, when you see the ocean waves that will be me saying hello.â
âexactly! now letâs go and celebrate the life she lived instead of being sad it came to an end!â your aunt smiled softly.
it was a lovely service, your grandmaâs funeral. you think that she would be happy with it.
you and jungwon decided to walk back home after the funeral. honestly, you both didnât think you could be in a car with the dark cloud surrounding you all, it felt too claustrophobic.
on the way home you both stopped at a food place since you were still hungry. the two of you ate silently before jungwon looked behind you and suddenly stood to his feet, murmuring a quick âiâll be right back.â
you looked behind you at his retreating figure, confused. just as you were turning back to your food you saw it out of the corner of your eye. your heart stopped. you could barely see with jungwon blocking the way but you could spot him anywhere.
it was jake.
you continued eating. you werenât ready to face him, especially not right now. you donât think you could even look at him right now. instead, you opted to watch the scene from the corner of your eye.
you could barely hear jungwon and jakeâs conversation, only managing to hear jungwon say, âshe really doesnât need any drama right now, manâŚâ jake backed off, but not before you turned and the two of you made the briefest of eye contact before you quickly looked away, taking another bite out of your sandwich.
all you managed to catch was the blonde of his hair that he pushed off his forehead as he turned.
now you wished you took the chance to get a good look at him. itâs only been three months since you last saw him, but already you were forgetting the exact color of his eyes and the way his voice sounded. were they more of a honey brown or a mahogany? you didnât remember.
it was eating away at you how much you already forgot.
you and jungwon finished your food in silence. before the two of you walked back home, he asked if you wanted to swim before you left. you shook your head as you stared out to the sea. it was a sunny day, but you just couldnât bear to step off the boardwalk. âmaybe next time i visit,â you said, though you didnât know if there would be a next time.
[ RETURN â A YEAR SINCE YOUâVE TOUCHED SAND ] đź two hundred seventy-four days since youâve last seen him.
your heart beat fast as you looked out the plane window to your motherâs seaside hometownâyour new home. there was no need for your mom to nudge you awake since you werenât able to sleep for the entirety you were on the plane, the nerves were eating at you.
you never thought youâd be back here, never thought that youâd ever say goodbye to your own hometownâwhich was also your late fatherâsâbut here you were.
when your mom told you that youâd be moving here permanently you didnât know how to feel. on one hand, you understood your momâs decision. it was just you and her out there miles away from your family and everything mustâve reminded her of your father. it reminded you of him too. on the other hand, you desperately wished she would change her mind.
it was enough seeing that one glimpse of jake nine months ago, but to see him over and over and over again? you didnât think you could take it. he still texted you, even more now since, and you still havenât answered. things between the two of you still remain unsaid.
but you also couldnât help but count down the seconds until you laid your eyes on him again. it set your skin alight and you couldnât help the small smile on your face and the giddiness you felt. was it selfish, yes, but after everything you think youâre finally ready to face him again.
to give your relationship another chance. to give him your heart again and not be fearful that he would break it, that heâd keep it guarded and safe. after all, he said he would wait for you.
and if he didnât protect your heart, youâd pull back and it would be as if you never had anything to do with him again.
ây/n? are you listening?â you heard your motherâs voice call out. you snapped back to reality, blinking a couple of times to get your wits.
you were no longer on the plane. now you were lugging suitcases into your auntâs house. your aunt was delighted to hear that you and your mom would be moving here. there was plenty of room in the house until the two of you got your own place.
âmhm,â you mumbled, though you definitely werenât listening.
your mom sat the suitcase she was carrying in front of you and grabbed your shoulders. âis it that boy from last summer? what was his name? jacob?â
âjake,â jungwon answered for you as he walked out the front door to grab more boxes.
your mom snapped her fingers. âjake! thatâs it. listen, i know you had some problems moving here because of him, but use this as a way to put yourself out there more than last summer! thereâs more wonderful people here than just jake.â she gave you a sympathetic smile and continued carrying stuff inside while you remained planted to the same spot in the driveway.
it wasnât âjust jakeâ that worried you. it was all of his friends and hana. you didnât want another summer full of drama, especially if you and jake did start dating again.
getting all your boxes and suitcases into the house went quick and relatively easy. you decided on unpacking all of your things later, right now your mind was too clouded.
jakeâs letter sat carefully in your anxious hands. you mustâve read it a million times over now and you could barely wrap your head around it still.
âtwo people who are meant to be will always find a way back to each other. and we are meant to be. no matter how long it takes, iâll wait for you.â
it was now or never. you grabbed your phone and opened your messages up to your conversation with jake. his last message was from this morning, hoping that you had a good day today. he must not know that youâre back and for good. with a shaky sigh, you let your fingers move across the keyboard.
you: meet me at our spot.
your hands shook as you quickly made your way downstairs and out the front door. your heart raced and your breathing was labored as you let your feet guide you. the more you thought about jake the faster your feet carried you towards him.
you felt the smile grow on your face as you caught a glimpse of the sea and the sand, the grittiness already finding its way into your sandals. you were moving so fast that you didnât notice the person in front of you until you smacked directly into their chest.
âoh my god!â you exclaimed as you came to a sudden halt, eyes wide, âiâm so sorry, i wasnât paying attention to where i was going!â
âweâve got to stop meeting like this,â a familiar voice joked. you looked up, the smile on your face widening more as you stood face to face with jay again. his smile matched yours and you laughed out of disbelief.
âjay!â you laughed, âitâs been a while, how have you been?â
jay ran a hand through his damp hair. âsame old, same old. how have you been? i heard you left this place for dead! never thought iâd see you back here again.â the teasing in his voice was obvious but you could see the concern in his eyes. flashes of the last time you saw him ran through your mind. funnily enough, you ran straight into him just a year ago while running from jake.
your smile faltered slightly but you tried your hardest to not think about last year. âwell, let me be the first to tell you that iâm back for good!â jayâs eyebrows raised in shock and you nodded. âjust moved back with my mom! youâll be seeing me around a lot more now,â you continued playfully.
âiâm sorry about your loss, by the way,â jay said, expression suddenly serious. you waved a hand in the air, letting him know that it was okay. time and place. âwell, iâm glad youâre back! this place really sucks without someone like you around,â jay added.
laughing you shook your head slightly, âthen we should hang out sometime!â
âtext me the plans and iâm there!â jay replied and pulled out his phone. he passed it to you with a ânew contactâ screen opened and you quickly filled out your information.
âi gotta go, but we will be hanging out sometime this week!â you waved as you began to step away. jay nodded with a smile. âclear your schedule!â you tossed over your shoulder as you walked away. behind you, you heard jayâs laugh.
âwouldnât miss it for the world!â
you shook your head, continuing on your path to you and jakeâs âspot.â this time you took your walk slow so you wouldnât run headfirst into anybody else.
jake nodded along absentmindedly to whatever sunghoon was saying to him, not listening at all as he stared out at the people swimming in the ocean and the calm ocean waves.
he was bored out of his mind.
suddenly his phone vibrated and he pulled it out of his pocket. jake blinked a couple times to make sure what he was seeing was real. once he saw that it was you who was undoubtedly texting him, he jumped to his feet.
you: meet me at our spot.
ââand then i told her that i already warned her. this is the relationship that sheâhey! what the fuck, jake?â sunghoon called behind him as jake suddenly took off.
jake could care less about sunghoon right now when you were here. youâre finally back, and not only thatâyouâre asking to see him. jake feels like his heart might explode. nine months since heâs last gotten the tiniest glimpse of you. nine months since he last had his breath taken away. a whole year since youâve slipped through his fingers.
he wasnât letting you go this time.
âwhere are you going?â sunghoon yelled, yet jake made no efforts to stop or even slow down. distantly, he could hear sunghoon shout, âasshole!â
like always, jake made it to your spot before you did. itâs only mere seconds until youâre arriving after him, taking his breath away once again as he goes to turn and sees you standing there.
you look so different, yet the exact same as when he last saw you. all jake can do is stare at you wide-eyed, mouth agape as his head completely empties.
ây/n,â jake finally breathes.
in response, you inhale sharply. âjakeâŚâ you notice that his hair is itâs natural colorâa dark brown. the blonde hair he had last year is nowhere to be seen whatsoever and his hair is even longer than it was, half of it disheveled and touching the top of his lips and the other half tucked semi-neatly behind his ear. and his eyes⌠how could you ever forget?
brown moonstone. they look just as they did when the two of you laid under the stars together.
without thinking the two of you rush towards each other before abruptly stopping just inches away. hesitantly, jake closes the gap as he reaches towards you and gently places his hand on your cheek. you can feel the way it tremorsâas if his hand might go through you. he takes a small step towards you until you can almost feel his breath fan across your cheeks as your eyes flutter closed for the briefest of moments.
as they open you look up at him, at the eyes that put you through so much. you pressed your lips to his softly.
instantly, jake is kissing you back. in it, you can feel everything that heâs been wanting to say to you for the past year. the kiss is desperate, searing, and passionate. it rips the oxygen right from your lungs and still you wrap your arms around jakeâs neck to pull him closer. like if you stopped kissing him the world would crumble beneath the two of you.
only when you both canât stand the suffocation anymore do you pull awayâjust barely. your heavy breathing mixes and your eyes are still closed. your grip on the back of his shirt tightens and jake leans his forehead against yours heavily.
âi missed you,â he says, just above a whisper. âi missed you so fucking much, you donât understand. iâm so sorry.â
you kiss him again because itâs the only way you can show him how much you missed him too. jakeâs hands move to your waist and pulls you closer so youâre completely pressed up against him.
memories of last summer force itâs way through your clouded mind. the two of you standing in this exact spot as he begged you not to leave.
abruptly, you broke away from him, hands pushing against his chest as you took several steps back. you turned your back to him as you tried to catch your breath, running your hands down your face. inhaling sharply, tears sprang to your eyes at all of the overwhelming emotions you were feeling. exhaling, you tried to steady your heartbeat that filled your ears.
being in this place wasnât helping. as you looked around the rocky walls, more and more memories flowed through your mind. âi hate you,â you spoke, turning completely to face jake. your voice lacked the punch the phrase needed. instead, it sounded almost⌠defeated. a tear slid down your cheek.
âi know,â jake replied. he knew what you were really saying, could feel it in the same desperate way you kissed him back.
âand i hate you for what youâve done to me,â you added while drawing closer to him.
âi know.â
you drew closer until your tight fists weâre resting against his chest. you avoided his eyes as more tears fell. âand i hate that i spent the entire year we were apart only thinking about youâi hate you.â
jake could feel the way your body shook against him. he took your closed fists into his hands. âi know, baby, i know.â
and he did. he knew that âi hate youâ really meant âi love you.â and you did. you really did love him.
jake moved your hands back to your sides, letting them go but having his hands still hovering near them. âwalk with me?â he asked, moving to wipe your tears away with the pads of his thumbs gently. you nodded in response as you stared at him finally. jake dipped his head down towards you and softly pressed a kiss against your lips before guiding you out of the cave-like opening.
silently, the two of you walked side-by-side in the sand through less populated paths. you both didnât speak, and it was probably for the best as you both processed everything between the two of you.
you were walking along an empty part of the beach, the sun just beginning to set, when you decided to break the silence. âi missed you too,â you spoke, your eyes following the way your feet left footprints in the sand.
you looked to your side at jake, âi really missed you.â
the two of you came to a stop. jake looked at you with furrowed brows, like he still couldnât believe if what he was experiencing right now was true or not. he kissed you.
if even possible, this kiss was more passionate and desperate than the last. your already swollen lips were hot to the touch and no matter how much the two of you pulled each other closer, it wasnât close enough. the kiss then turned feverish and you both pulled away to breathe. a silent question hung in the air and you nodded ever so slightly.
jake then intertwined your hands, pulling you off into some direction you werenât familiar with until he was pulling you into a house that you could only assume was his. you barely even wrapped your head around the fact that you were actually in his house for the first time before he was pulling you up the stairs and into his room.
his lips met yours again and finally all the unsaid things spilled out from between the two of you as you pulled each otherâs clothes off. jake laid you on the bed, fingers just barely gripping the waistband of your shorts and underwear. you were under him in just that and your bra.
âyes or no?â he asked you breathlessly, voice low.
âyes,â you responded. just as fast as you did, you were half naked underneath him. jake didnât wait as he unclasped your bra with one hand and tossed it somewhere out of sight as his lips smashed against yours. he pulled away and you barely got to blink before the both of you were completely naked.
you watched as jake reached over to his nightstand and grabbed the ponytail off of it. he messily tied back his hair before placing hot kisses down your stomach. you fought the urge not to moan. he continued slowly down your stomach and just when he reached right above where you needed him the most, he looked up at you with his signature smirk.
you inhaled and his lips attached to your core, causing you to gasp loudly. his arms wrapped tightly around your thighs to keep them apart as his tongue pulled you closer and closer over the edge. you almost broke completely when he pushed his fingers inside you, curling them at just the right angle that made you see stars.
your hands were in his hairâmessing up his already messy ponytailâand your moans filled his bedroom, not even worried that someone else could be in the house. all you cared about was how good he was making you feel and how much you missed his body on yours.
it didnât take long until the rope was snapping and you shakily told him that you were about to cum. moments later jakeâs fingers and mouth was dripping and he was licking them clean while you hazily stared at him, mind too foggy until his lips were suddenly on yours again and his hands were trailing up your sides.
âi need you,â you whined softly as you stared into jakeâs eyes, âplease.â you clawed at his back in attempt to bring him closer, your body on fire and he was the only way to bring down the heat.
jake pressed a soft kiss to your lips and looked down between your bodies as he lined his hard and dripping cock up with your entrance. he looked up, âtell me if it hurts, okay?â you nodded in return, bucking your hips up slightly and gasping when the tip of his cock grazed your sensitive clit.
slowly, jake pushed into you and it was much less uncomfortable than it was the first time. he waited a moment, eyeing the way your body reacted before looking at you in a silent question. you nodded and slowly he began to move.
high-pitched moans and whimpers left your mouth the more and more your body adjusted to him, and the more and more euphoric you felt. you and jake left love bites all over each otherâs bodies without a care of the fact that it was in places people could definitely see, you were too caught up in the feeling of him surrounding you and jake was too caught up in the fact that you were finally in his arms again.
he barely let you out of his grasp, body firmly pushed against yours, as he moved in and out of you at a steady pace. his head was cloudy with your pretty sounds and his lips nipped at any skin he could. jake wished the both of you could stay like this forever, just the two of you together. he was scared of what would happen when he pulled out of you and it all ended.
would you regret it? say it was a mistake and that he should pretend like it never happened? or would this push the two of you back together again like he hoped? after all, you were the only one for him.
you inhaled sharply, brows drawn together and back arching off the soft blankets, and jake knew your body well enough before you started to clench down on him that you were about to come undone on him again. âj-jakeâŚâ you whimpered as your eyes squeezed shut.
âshh, baby, i know.â he moved so his thumb was now rubbing circles into your clit and watched the way you tried to shut your legs with a soft chuckle. he held them apart with his free hand. âlet go for me,â he murmured, continuing his pace.
jake moaned and bit down hard on his bottom lip the more you clenched down on his poor cock. he felt like he was going to lose it at any moment as he tried to bring you closer and closer to the edge. âthat feels good, yeah?â he asked you, accent thick and low. that sent you right over the edge, incoherent words falling from your lips, and you made a complete mess on his cock.
âshit,â jake said sharply before a moan escaped him. the sight went straight to his dick and it was almost instant with the way it twitched and he was cumming inside you, filling you up even more. his hips moved lazily, watching the way the cum spilled out of you and around him, painting his cock a pretty white.
slowly he pulled out of you and you whined at the loss of him, fingernails digging into his shoulders. more creamy white spilled out of you in a thick load and jake fought the urge to not push himself back into you and fuck you again.
he kissed your inner thighs and slowly made his way up your stomach and until he reached your lips in a heated kiss. your fingers raked through his hair, causing it to fall from the ponytail and spill out around both of your faces. once the both of you pulled away for air, you couldnât help but giggle.
âwhat?â jake said, looking down at you with a bright smile. you shook your head. you were honestly just glad to be with him. you leaned up to catch his lips in another kiss. it felt like you were addicted to his lips and you cursed yourself in your head for ever putting you in the situation where you mightâve never been able to kiss them again.
jake looked at you fondly. âstay here, iâll get something to clean you up.â
after a brief moment he came back with a damp cloth and a towel and gently wiped you down, making sure not to press too hard since you were still sensitive. once he was satisfied he laid down next to you and pulled you to his chest. âyou did so good for me, pretty.â
your heart swirled at the familiar petname.
you werenât sure when the two of you fell asleep or for how long, the sunâs golden rays just peaking above the horizon and starting a beautiful sunset, before you woke up. jake was still sound asleep next to you, the two of you still naked, and you slowly and quietly got up from the bed. you decided to take a look around his room since youâve never been in it before.
he had old trophies and medals for various things, one of them being swimming, along with pictures of what you assumed to be an old swim team. there was pictures of his family and friends around that brought a smile to your face the more you looked at them. one in particular caught your eye. it was a polaroid of jake, jay, and jakeâs bestfriend sunghoon.
you eyes widened. you thought jake and jay hated each otherâif last summer was anything to show. why did they have a picture together? under it you saw that somebody wrote âswimming buds for life!â you checked the other pictures he had around again but this was the only photo that included jay. it made your head spin.
a familiar picture on his desk caught your eyes and you moved towards that instead. jake had gotten the pictures you took last summer developed too and had even dated them on the back. gently, you took the stack into your hands and looked at the picture on top.
it was the two of you at the abandoned skate park where you had your first kiss together. your head was tilted against his as you both smiled for the camera. a smile made its way onto your face and continued to grow as you continued flipping through the pictures, making your way to sit on the edge of jakeâs bed.
you felt movement behind you and suddenly arms were wrapped around you as jake leaned up behind you to look over your shoulder. you gasped lightly when his hands rested at the lowest part of your hips and he placed feather-light kisses along your neck. âyour awake,â you smiled as a chill ran down you, causing jake to chuckle lowly, sleep still at the edges of his voice. âi am.â
suddenly you were reminded at the fact that you both were still naked and the way your pussy now throbbed at his sleepy voice. you swallowed thickly and turned your attention back to the pictures in your hands. flipping the picture on the top to the back, you gasped and turned to jake in slight shock.
in your hands laid multiple pictures of you completely fucked out and dripping cum on a picnic blanket, illuminated by the moonlight and the flash of the camera. âasshole!â you nudged jake with a shocked smile and pulling a laugh from him. âi can't believe you took pictures of this!â
you looked back to the pictures with wide eyes as jake laughed more. ânot funnyâŚâ you mumbled with a pout. you held one up where you were in full view of the camera along with jakeâs cum covered cock hovering above you, âi look so out of it.â
jake took the photo from you and inspected it with a grin. âyou were.â
you nudged him again, hard. jake laughed and wrapped his arms around you to pull you into him, placing kisses along your jaw. âit doesnât matter,â he started, leaning his head against yours so his lips were near your ear, âthese ones are for my eyes only.â
you giggled sheepishly, pushing him away from you as you tried to not let a wet patch form beneath you. you looked towards the window through the barely opened blinds. the sun was just about to set and you knew your mom was most likely wondering where youâve been all day. jake followed your stare and you heard him sigh softly. âi should probably head home,â you stated quietly.
you turned to look at him, seriousness suddenly seeping into your features. âweâre gonna have to talk about this⌠about what this all meansâŚâ
âwe can go slow,â jake said, cupping your cheek with one of his hands. âitâll mean whatever you want it to mean.â
âbit too late to go slow,â you chuckled and he followed. you looked down to your lap, fingers fidgeting with the edge of the towel next to you. âi really donât want drama this summer, jake.â
you glanced up to look him in the eyes, those pretty brown eyes of his. âi donât think i can take another summer full of it,â you continued. jake nodded in agreement.
âthis summer is just for the two of us. i promise.â
you let his words sink in before leaning up to place your lips against his in a soft and slow kiss. ânowâŚâ jake said as he pulled away, âare we just gonna stay naked, or what? because iâm really starting to lose my mind over here.â
heat crept across your face, especially as his eyes dropped to your nakedness. you covered your face with your hands as you turned away, jakeâs laughter behind you, and moved to where he threw your articles of clothing. âtimeout!â you muttered, as you pulled your panties on.
jake laughed more, âagain?! hm, weâll seeâŚâ he got up to get clothed as well. âlet me walk you home.â
[ SUMMER â THE TIDES ARE PULLED BY THE MOON ] đź and you are pulled by him.
you almost jumped out of you skin, fingers grabbing at your pajamas, as you opened the bathroom door and were immediately face to face with your cousin jungwon. âjesus!â you nearly screeched as you held onto the door.
âso⌠jake walking you home, huh? whatâs that all about?â jungwon asked. he took a few steps back to let you leave the doorway of the bathroom and you leaned against the wall nearest to it.
it was dark outside now and your face heated at the mention of jake. fumbling over your words slightly, you replied, âwe were just⌠talking things from last summer over. he wanted to apologize in person.â
more heat spread across your face. it was surely one way to apologizeâŚ
in order for jungwon to not see your flustered face, you turned and made your way to your room, jungwon following in tow. you opened your door and walked around the room as you got ready for bed. discreetly, you tried to hide all of the love bites on you, suddenly regretting being so careless about where jake marked you.
âhm,â jungwon hummed, âare you planning on getting back together with him?â he sat at the edge of your bed, eyes trailing your movements. you saw the way his eyes stared too hard at a spot on your neck with a raised eyebrow.
you sighed softly. truly, you werenât sure quite yet. you had just arrived and it was too early to tell how this summer was going to fair. and you really didnât want this summer to be a repeat of the last one. you wanted to get more settled in before you decided to make any rash decisionsâeven though you and jake had already slept together just mere hours after you arrived.
you sighed to yourself again. maybe that wasnât the best of ideas.
âi donât know,â you replied, plopping down onto your bed next to him. âafter everything⌠i-i just donât want to be caught in another web. i canât go through that again.â
jungwon nodded solemnly and rested a comforting hand on your back. âwhatever you chooseâbe careful, y/n.â
this time you felt the gravity of his wordsâthe same words he told you last summer when he tried to warn you in meddling in things you were unfamiliar with. in getting involved with jake and his and his friendsâ game. when everyone tried to warn you.
even if jake claims that heâs changed, you needed to see it for yourself. not just through words, but through actions. and then, and only then, would you consider giving your whole relationship another chance.
âwhatever happens, iâm here for you,â jungwon continued. you gave him a warm smile. âi will. and thank you,â you replied.
after talking to jungwon you decided to text jake with your requirements. your thumbs fiddled with each other and your heart raced as you waited for the three little dots that indicated he was replying to show up.
jake: i promise you iâll do anything it takes to earn your trust back. anything. iâll show you that giving us another chance will be worth it, that giving me another chance is worth it.
âeverything is exactly the same as before, so there shouldnât be any trouble,â mrs. song said as she led you back towards the front of the juice bar. you nodded in response as you followed her. âcan you start later this week? say⌠wednesday?â she added in question.
âyes!â you nodded again politely. âwednesday is good! ohâcan i ask you a quick question?â
âshoot,â mrs. song replied while waving off some kid trying to climb over the counter for more of the candy that sat in a bowl.
âlast summer, a girl named hana worked here with me⌠does she still work here?â you asked as you looked to the floor with furrowed brows. pain stabbed through your heart and your mouth felt like it was full of sand just from saying her name. you hated the feelings her name evoked in you.
to think that you had an actual friend here in her⌠when all she wanted was to use you for her own gain. you knew it would be a ridiculous hope with how small the town was, but you still hoped you never saw her face again. never heard her name again. never felt these feelings that she caused. if you ever saw her again it would be too soon.
âoh, hana?â mrs. song questioned while focusing her attention back on you. âfired her not long after you left. horrible employeeâi donât know why i didnât fire her sooner. or hired her in the first place.â
you let out a small sigh of relief that mrs. song seemed to pick up on. there was no way you could spend another summer sharing the same space as hana. it was impossible.
âyou had problems with her too, yeah? hm,â mrs. song snorted.
after a bit more chatting and going over your future schedule you began to head out, trailing slowly along the shore. water lapped at your feet and your sandals swung limply from your fingers as you stared out at the calm waves. you think you could like it here after all.
ây/n!â you heard your voice being called.
breaking your attention from the sea, you turned in the direction of the voice. a smile grew onto your face. âjay!â you called back as he jogged up to you. ânice seeing you again!â
jay stood in front of you, holding a hand up to block the sun from getting in his eyes while he used his other hand to push his hair off of his forehead. you guided him away from the shore and towards one of the empty tables on the boardwalk. âwas just getting ready to start my shift!â he replied.
you then noticed the outfit he was wearingâred shorts and a white tank top that read âGUARDâ in bold red capital letters. a red lanyard with a whistle attached hung around his neck and he had a red visor tucked under his arm.
the two of you sat at the empty table and jay placed his visor onto it. he leaned forward slightly, a big smile on his face, âbut i still have time to chat.â
and just like that it felt as if you were back at that campfire talking about anything and everythingâlike you and jay had been friends for forever now and it hasnât been a year since youâve last seen each other. the two of you just fell into such a natural sync.
you were even opening up to him about everything that happened last summer. mainly because you really couldnât talk to anyone about it but him. he already understood all of the context and it was just so easy to talk to jay. you hadnât realized how much you just needed a friend. and jay listened to it all attentively, not missing a single beat and inquiring about things you havenât even realized.
âbut enough about my pastâŚâ you murmured sheepishly, turning to the side to try and hide how warmth spread across your face. you just spend ten minutes talking about yourself and your problems without regarding the fact that it was probably coming off as extremely rude. âso how has the past year been for you?â you asked him.
you then gave him a cheeky smile. âany girls youâve been seeing? interested in? tell me!â
jay laughed and shook his head a little. âno, i havenât been seeing anyone. pretty much everyone here iâve known for forever now⌠not the best candidates.â he leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms as he looked at you through his lashes. the corners of his mouth rose and he looked off to the side. âthere has been this one girl, though⌠sheâs definitely caught my interest.â
you gasped and leaned forward with your hands flat on the table. âwhat?! why didnât you say anything sooner? iâve been over here talking about my pathetic love life when we could've been talking about how good yours is going! have you talked to her yet? whatâs her name?â the words flew out your mouth a mile a minute.
jay held his hands up as he chuckled, âwoah, woah, slow down. iâve talked to her a couple times nowâbut only briefly! i think sheâs new in town, probably been here just a little bit longer than you have, actually.â
you grinned, âiâm excited for you! you gotta let me know how it all plays out. and donât think i didnât realize how you didnât tell me her name!â jayâs face quickly turned red.
he stood from his chair, âah, well, itâs all very new⌠haha, oh look at the time! my shift is about to start! bye, y/n!â he turned quickly as his words blurted out, throwing his words over his shoulder.
you rolled your eyes and stood to your feet. âwhatever, iâll get it out of you soon enoughâŚâ
jay pulled you into a hug as he nervously chuckled. âi seriously doubt it!â he mumbled under his breath before he jogged off.
âi will get her name out of you!â you called as you shook your head at him and watched his retreating figure, smiling softly.
you turned and continued walking aimlessly through the sand, feet sinking into the grains and leaving footprints. you watched as kids laughed and played with each other, darting around you and muttering passing apologies.
you were focused on the kid that almost ran into you running after their friends, not focused at all on the way jake crept up on you. âboo!â he shouted by your ear. you nearly jumped out of your skin, a loud yell erupting from your mouth. once you realized that it was just him, you hit him in his chest hard.
âjake?! are you serious!â you scolded, heat rushing to your face in embarrassment. you covered your face and he pulled you into him as he laughed hysterically. you buried your face in his chest briefly before turning out of his grasp and quickly walking away from the scene, trying to ignore the pairs of eyes that were on you.
jake trailed behind you and you heard him laugh more. âiâm sorry, iâm sorry! but that was so funny!â he said as he caught up to you. âyou shouldâve seen your face.â
he wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer to him. âwhat are you doing here?â jake asked as he glanced down at you.
âgetting my old job back, what are you doing here?â you asked in response, âbesides scaring me half to death?â
his smile grew, âcame down here bored, until i saw you.â his eyes lit up suddenly. âoh! we should make another bucket list for this summer! since⌠since we didnât get to finish the one from last summerâŚâ he trailed off, eyes looking to the side briefly in regret.
you smiled at him, trying to diffuse the sudden awkward tension. âwe should!â
jake guided you near the shore and the two of you sat in the sand. the two of you debated what to do this summer for a while, only managing to come up with a couple of things. one of which was going to this yearâs summer splash event since you left last year before it happened.
âyouâll still be my date, right?â jake asked shyly. you chucked and nodded. âif youâll still have me!â
jake gave you that same fond stare that he gave you before you left his house and it made butterflies erupt in your stomach. âof course i do,â he said.
it was such a simple sentence filled with so much. your brows knitted together ever so slightly and you watched the way his eyes darted towards your lips. it then seemingly felt like it was only the two of you on the beach, and you swear that the two of you slowly moved closer to each other.
the sudden shrill of a childâs cry broke the two of you out of your trance and you both snapped towards where a kid was crying over the way the sea messed up his sandcastle. you turned towards jake again and gave him a sheepish smile.
âuhâhow about swimming! um, you teach me how to swim⌠since i canâtâŚâ you sputtered awkwardly, hands waving in the air at the ocean. jake chuckled at the way you suddenly reverted back to your timid nature around him and nodded.
âyeah⌠i can teach you how to swim!â
you nodded after him. jake began to stand to his feet and you looked at him confused. âi can teach you now, in fact. do you have your bathing suit?â
you rose to your feet as well and nodded. you pulled the tank top strap off your shoulder and looked down to double check, nodding again when you saw the white fabric of your bikini.
jake tucked his finger underneath the thin strap that tied the bikini top around your neck. he pulled at it lightly before letting go and then smirked at you. âgood,â he said simply.
your cheeks were already flushed with heat, but the heat just got hotter when you realized why he was smirking. it was the bathing suit you wore to the beach party.
playfullyâand in an attempt to mask your warm faceâyou rolled your eyes and looked away from him. âget your mind out of the gutter,â you mumbled.
jake laughed, âall i said was âgood!ââ
âanyway,â you said, âwe should add our names to that skate park! i feel like that would help me really cement my being here permanently.â
laughing harder, jake replied, âisnât that vandalism? are you even good at graffiti?â he suddenly stopped laughing, expression serious. âwaitâpermanently? youâre here permanently?!â
still on the subject of the skate park, you shrugged. âitâs abandoned anyways, isnât it? and how hard is it to use a spray can to write our names? itâs not like weâre tagging it, tagging it.â
jake grabbed your shoulders and your focus zeroed in on him. his eyes were wide as he looked into yours. âyouâre here permanently?!â he repeated. you nodded, confusion shifting into realization at the fact that you havenât told him yet. âyes, permanently. my mom and i moved here the day we met at our spot,â you said.
jakeâs hands moved from your shoulders to cup your face. he then kissed you passionately, absolutely taking your breath away. you giggled when he pulled away and he started kissing you all over your face. âjake!â you giggled more, pushing him away from you slightly.
âiâm sorry,â he said a bit breathlessly, âyou just donât know how relieved i am to hear that.â he chuckled awkwardly as he gave you some space and tucked some of his hair behind his ear. âso, skate park? got it, anything you want to do! we have all the time in the world.â
you mind immediately snapped back to the skate park. âi feel like thatâs not as adventurous as our last bucket list though!â you pouted.
jake pulled you towards where there were some free towels at the boardwalk. he turned back and cheekily smiled at you, âi can think of something adventurous.â you stopped in your tracks and swatted his shoulder. âiâm just saying!â jake laughed. âweâve done a lot, but thereâs still some things we havenât done yet⌠you catch me?â
heat crept up the back of your neck and you crossed your arms across your chest. jakeâs eyes darted down to the action. indulging him, you asked, âlike what?â
jake stepped closer to you and reached up to mess with the straps of your bikini. he leaned more into you and dropped his voice so only you would hear what he was saying. âdifferent places, different positions⌠thereâs so many things i could do to you that you havenât experienced yet.â your eyes connected with his.
âor you could do to me,â he added, lower.
you looked away, face on fire. jake dropped his hands from the straps he was fiddling with to his sides. he took another step closer to you until you both were almost chest to chest and grazed his hand along the side of your waist. jake leaned down until his lips were at the shell of your ear. âif you want,â he whispered.
he pulled away, smiling at you like he didnât just insinuate what he did and cause arousal to pool in your bikini bottoms. he grabbed your wrist lightly and pulled you the rest of the way to the towels, handing you a rolled up one from the basket and taking one from himself.
you were still in shock, eyes wide as you stared at him. you then snapped out of it when you realized he was chuckling. tucking the towel underneath your arm, you used the basket of towels to lean forward towards him. discreetly, you slid your hand down his stomach and stopped right above the hem of his shorts. âsounds fun,â you smiled innocently. âi know exactly what i could do.â
you hand trailed lower before you backed away from him. you held in your laugh at just how quickly the bulge in his shorts was rising and his ears turned red. you looked towards the sea, âso where do you wanna start?â you asked casually. âiâm gonna have to strip these clothes off first.â
you turned back to him and smiled again, that same innocent smile.
the corner of jakeâs mouth rose in a âtwo can play at this gameâ way. he opened his mouth to speak, but got cut off by someone suddenly entering your conversation. âlook at what the cat dragged back in,â the voice said, mean and full of bitterness.
you almost instantly recognized that voice, and it seems that jake did too since his face instantly twisted into one of annoyance and hatred. he moved closer to you while also hiding his boner with the basket of towels.
hana walked up to the two of you with a sneer and a dripping popsicle in one hand. two girls you never seen before trailed behind her with a matching sneer. you rolled your eyes and crossed your arms against your chest, leaning your weight towards jake. âthought the two of you went up in flames last summer?â hana added.
she focused her attention on you, âdonât tell me youâre still falling for his âi love youâsâ⌠how lame.â
jake scoffed, before either of you could say anything you noticed jungwon come up to you all. he pushed past the two random girls and shoulder-checked hana as he came to your side. âlook what desperation dragged in. i know the saying is âmisery loves companyâ but this is just getting pathetic, hana. donât you have a job to be at?â hana scoffed and opened her mouth, but jungwon beat her to it.
âoh yeah, you donât. because you got fired. i think itâs time you go find one, donât you think?â
hana rolled her eyes. âwhatever,â she said, trying to pretend like she wasnât bothered. she stuck the popsicle in her mouth briefly as she turned towards the girls. âdidnât want to stick around you losers anyways.â
she looked over her shoulder at you, âcareful, y/n. you know jakeâs still in love with me.â she then winked at him and jakeâs face twisted further into disgust.
âyou fucking wish. i was never even infatuated with you in the first place. you already know that sunghoon is the reason why i even stayed with you for those four months,â jake spit out, angrier than youâve ever seen him. âstop making my life fucking hell and just move on already. i know i already have.â
you saw the way hanaâs face fell and how she quickly masked it with a sickly sweet smile. âkeep telling yourself that, jakey,â she said before walking away.
you loudly scoffed at her retreating body and the way she purposefully swayed her hips back and forth as you turned towards jake and jungwon. âthe audacity she has is honestly astounding,â jungwon said, face mirroring yours.
âdelusional,â you added, âthe lot of them.â
âforget her,â jake said as he pulled you and jungwonâs attention back to him. he then smiled, âletâs go swimming!â
âhow hard is it to put one arm in front of the other?!â jungwon demonstrated how to use your arms to swim once again as a laugh was pulled from him. he swam out farther into the sea and then swam back, standing where you and jake were. âsee? easy.â
âiâm doing the best that i can!â you exclaim, throwing your hands up in the air in mild frustration as the remnants of a wave hit against your stomach.
jake then chimed in, âitâs actually not that easy!â jungwon turned to him in confusion and jake swam out a little from where the two of you stood. âthereâs actually a certain way you want to move your arms in order to not hurt your shoulders.â
you turned to jungwon with a triumphant smirk. âsee!â you said while crossing your arms. jungwon rolled his eyes.
jake continued demonstrating, specifically pointing out how to move your body to not hurt your shoulders. he also showed how to gain more speed and stay under the water for longer with breathing techniques. âhere, letâs do it together,â he said, swimming towards you.
he made sure your positioning was correct and guided you slowly towards the deeper part of where you all stood. âlike this! if youâre feeling any type of pain in your shoulders than youâre doing it wrong.â
after a couple minutes of adjusting and positioning, you really thought you were getting the hang of it. when jake was guiding you there wasnât any pain in your shoulders at all, but as soon as you started to do it on your own you immediately felt the tightness in them. your face scrunched up as you instantly reverted back to doggy paddling, causing jake and jungwon to laugh.
with full shame, you doggy paddled back to where they stood. âyou know⌠i donât think swimming is for me, actually.â
âi tried teaching her last year,â jungwon started, amusement tinging his voice, âshe literally almost drowned. itâs hopelessâŚâ you glared at him and then rolled your eyes. youâd like to think that if it werenât for the large waves that day that you wouldâve been fine.
jake laughed and you glared at him too, though without as much venom. âitâs a good thing i was there!â he looked at you with the biggest smile on his face and you rolled your eyes at him too. they both laughed again as you tried to think of the quickest way to discard bodies on a public beach.
âweâll try teaching you again another time,â jake continued. âyouâreâŚâ he trailed off trying to find the right word for what he was thinking. âhorrible,â jungwon concluded.
âstill a novice!â jake quickly corrected. you mumbled out a lame insult to the both of them and walked towards your towel on the beach.
they followed after you, still chuckling, as you wrapped the towel around your soaked body. âitâs not all your fault!â jungwon exclaimed. âyour hometown didnât have an ocean, or even a pool, really. donât blame yourself!â you scoffed at his cheap attempt to make you feel better and the both of you laughed. your hometown barely had a highschool with a pool. you were never taught to swim in school because all the seniors poured so much gasoline into the pool as a prank that your school had to close off the area and it just never reopened.
coincidentally, that was one of the times jungwon was staying with you and your mom. on a dare, he made you venture into the closed off pool room and you almost didnât make it out alive. yes, the two of you got in a huge amount of trouble by your parents. you made jungwon do all of your chores for the remaining two months he was there.
âwe should probably start heading home though,â said jungwon, âi accidentally broke momâs sculpture while helping auntie move in her stuff and mightâve insinuated that it was your faultâŚâ your eyes widened as you slowly turned to him. he scratched the back of his head guiltily.
âwhat?!â you nearly shouted.
âyeahâŚâ
you ran your hands down your face as you turned to jake. âiâll see you later,â you sighed, moving into his open arms for a hug. âor maybe i wonât after this,â you added suddenly.
âiâll see you later,â jake repeated as he laughed.
as you and jungwon walked offâmore like ran since you were currently trying to smother him in the sandâhe kept looking behind you and laughing to himself. you caught him the act again just as the two of you were about to leave the boardwalk. he looked behind the two of you, shook his head a little, and laughed. âwhat?â you asked him. he hummed in question at your response. âwhatâs so funny?â you continued, looking behind you as well. you couldnât tell what could possibly be making him laugh.
âoh, nothing.â jungwon looked behind him again. you nudged him with your elbow, trying to get him to confess.
jungwon laughed again. âjakeâs been staring at you this entire time with the fondest, most lovesick puppy look iâve ever seen. i donât think he moved from that spot or even blinked since we walked away.â
you whipped your head around and looked around until you saw him. indeed, jungwon was right. you smiled to yourself and gave him a little wave. the smile on jakeâs face grew as he waved back.
âgross,â jungwon commented as the two of you turned out of jakeâs sight.
jake had, once again, put himself in the position where he was forced to listen about sunghoonâs recent victimâs complaints about their relationship. ever since he met you, he questioned how he ever found any of this entertaining. listening to sunghoon go on and on about the girls he wronged just made him feel exhaustedâand guilty. jake couldnât even begin to imagine how the girls he fucked over mustâve felt. the only thing he could come close to was the image of your heartbroken face the day you left him a year ago.
he never wanted to see that face ever again.
âshe wanted me to fuck herâi fucked her. i told her not to expect a relationship out of all of thisânow sheâs crying about how i was dragging her along!â sunghoon ranted to jake as they made their way down to the boardwalk. sunghoon turned to him with an exasperated expression, âi donât know how more clear i can get!â
jake pulled the whistle from his shorts and put the lanyard around his neck. âhave you ever thought of being in a committed relationship with someone?â he asked sunghoon. jake adjusted his lifeguarding outfit as they got closer to the boardwalk.
sunghoon made a face. âdude, be serious. iâm young! iâll settle down with someone when iâm, like, thirty or whatever.â
rolling his eyes, jake laughed at sunghoonâs reluctance to commit to someone. âif you find anyone willing to be with you that you havenât fucked over by then.â the two of them laughed and stepped onto the boardwalk. it wasnât as busy of a day today, which jake was thankful for.
âalright, i gotta go. my shiftâs about to start,â jake said and turned to sunghoon. jake clasped sunghoonâs hand and gave him a quick pat on the back.
sunghoon nodded his head over to the lifeguard who was coming off dutyâjay. jake tried not to roll his eyes. âincoming, you know how he is,â sunghoon said. âsee ya, man.â
they went on their separate paths and jake walked to where jay was so they could switch. jay looked over from where he was grabbing his towel off the elevated chair ladder. jay gave a tight smile to jake, which already made jakeâs blood boil. the only thing he could think about when he looked at him was how close the two of you seemed that night at the beach party.
as jay cleared his things for jake, he tried to make small talk to make the tension less awkward and heavy. âhave you heard y/n is in back in town? for good?â jay asked. why was he asking him about you?
jake tried to not let his fist meet jayâs face again.
he tried not to be possessive over you, especially since the two of you werenât even together again yet. and he wasnât one to try and keep you from your friends, but jay was a whole different story. jake tried to not let the jealousy seep into his voice, âyeah, duh. iâm the first one she saw.â
âhm,â jay hummed as he threw his bag over his shoulder.
what was that supposed to mean? jake side eyed him. he was the first one you saw when you landed, right? jake would absolutely recoil into himself if he wasnât. surely it wasnât jay who you saw first, right? jake ignored him and started to set his own stuff down.
âbetter hope you donât fuck everything up again, never know who might swoop in and take your place.â there was the jay that jake knew. the asshole under this whole ânice guyâ act he had been playing.
jake turned fully to him. âwho? you?â
jake almost laughed in his face. jay couldnât be serious, but he promised you he would try his hardest to not let there be any drama this summer. even if his fingers itched to wipe that slight smug smirk off jayâs face.
jay just shrugged. âcould be, who knows? sheâs very likable and very beautiful. everywhere she goes she attracts the stare of some guy. and i would say that you know girls donât like to be treated like garbage, but with your track record that clearly isnât obvious to you. you already almost lost her for good once.â
jakeâs anger boiled over completely and he squeezed his eyes shut for a second to try and calm himself. it did nothing. jake wryly laughed and stepped up to jay. âso you think you can take her from me? you?â jake laughed again. âiâd like to see you try. incase it wasnât obviousâsheâs in love with me, not you. donât you hate being a pale imitation?â
jake wanted to bring up every way that he had bested jayâdown to the smallest thing, such as being able to tie his shoes before him. he would always be the better man. and even if jake wasnât in some aspect, he would make damn sure that at the end of the day he was. jay had nothing on him, you had to see that.
it angered jake that jay was even talking about you this way. in a way that suggested he could get close enough to you for the two of you to be together instead of you and him. ridiculous, it all was. the only thing jay would be is a lesser version of him, constantly chasing after anything he had that he could never have. jake shouldâve put him in his place when he had the chance three years ago.
jayâs smug smirk grew. âi donât have to do anything. all it takes is her finding out the truth about the piece of shit that you really are and the game you like to play. and whatâs inept infatuation to true bonding?â jay patted jake on the shoulder and jake harshly glared at him and pulled his shoulder away. âbest of luck,â jay said in a low voice before walking away.
as jake climbed up to his post, the heat of the sun was nothing to the scalding anger inside him. he knew one thing for sureâluck would not be on jayâs side if he had anything to do with it.
you and jake were meant to be together, and jayâs hollow words werenât going to change that.
jay: hey, are you free? jay: cashing in that rain check to hang out.
you were on your way home, but it couldnât hurt to hang out with jay. the two of you needed to spend more than twenty minutes together anyway and catch up more.
besides, the picture of him, jake, and sunghoon suddenly crossed your mind, reminding you that you had forgotten to ask jake about it. maybe jay would give you some insight on why the two of them had bad blood between each other when they were once âswimming buds for life!â
you: haha of course! jay: awesome, meet me at the boardwalk? jay: we can hang out at my place. you: iâll see you there!
you turned around and walked back down the boardwalk, picking an empty table to wait at in a relatively clear area. the polaroid wouldnât leave your mind as you speculated what couldâve possibly split them apart.
was it just a mere difference of opinion? or was it the two of them simply growing up and going their separate ways? your mind then replayed their interaction at the beach party last year, how angry they were at just seeing each other. it had to be something deeper than that. perhaps some sort of betrayal?
if that was the case, then who betrayed who? and why?
or maybe the reason was because of this gameâthe playerâs game, as jay mentioned. the one that you have already been a victim of. his words crossed your mind, âthereâs no winner in the playerâs game. itâs best to know that before itâs too late.â
he had to be a victim of the game too, if he was saying that to you. were jake and sunghoon possibly a factor in it?
before you could speculate any further, jayâs voice shocked you out of your thoughts. âhey,â he smiled, grabbing your attention. you smiled back at him as you stood. âhey!â
as the two of you walked to jayâs house, he mustâve saw that your mind was elsewhere. jay nudged into you slightly as you walked side by side. âyouâre quiet today, whatâs on your mind?â he asked.Â
you racked your mind for a way to bring up his and jakeâs past friendship subtly, so as to not barge too into their private matters without permission. you decided to try and pose it a different way. âoh, sorry! i just got off work so iâm kind of everywhere right nowâŚâ you trailed off, before purposefully perking up as if you just thought of something. âhey, how do you and jake know each other?â
you then internally panicked, thinking that that was maybe too forward, and added, âiâve been spilling my whole love story with him, and at the beach party the two of you seemed familiarâŚâ
jayâs eyebrows knitted together as he thought over your question. you hoped that you didnât hit a sensitive subject as you subtly wiped your sweaty palms onto the back of your jean shorts. âwe use to be friendsâbest friends,â jay started, âand on the swim team together back in highschool. him and his friends were just really shitty, so i decided to distance myself from them for my own good.â
you nodded along at his words, trying to place them in the puzzle board in your mind. jayâs answer was vague, but at least it was somethingâa start. youâd just have to get your answers out of him and jake whenever plausible.Â
a house that you assumed was his came up into view as the two of you continued walking. âso how did you get involved with jake? i know i kind of already asked you this before, but iâm still curious.â jay guided you towards the house as he spoke.
you told him about you and jungwon swimming in the ocean and how jungwon left to go get something to eat. about how you then mistakenly went further out despite not knowing to swim and how the waves kept beating you down. then finally about how jake had come and saved you.
jay gave you an incredulous look as he held open the gate to his backyard for you. you nodded in confirmation and his shock only grew. âiâm gonna have to teach you how to swim, then!â he exclaimed.
you looked around his backyard. he had a large in-ground pool with a nice patio set up filled with lounge chairs, tables, and an outside bar. jayâs backyard was absolutely beautiful.Â
âapparently iâm a bad student, but itâs a deal!â you joked and jay laughed, leading you to where the lounge chairs were by the pool.
âshow me what you got! you canât be that bad at swimming.â jay then suddenly stripped off his shirt, leaving him in swim trunks. your eyes widened and surveyed the upper half of his body. jay slunk into the pool, going underwater for a few seconds, and surfaced. he slicked back his now wet hair and looked up at you expectantly. âwell?â he chuckled.
you laughed, half of it full of shock and the other half full of nervousness, and stood from the chair. you began taking off your tank top and shorts as jay swam away from where you stood. once you were done, you dipped a toe into the water, face scrunching up at the coldness, and slid in completely. you shivered slightly as you slowly walked to where jay stood in the center of the shallow end of the pool.
jay motioned for you to swim a little and you ducked down until your chin touched the water. âjake taught me for a little bit last week, but it didnât really stick,â you said as you swam around a little and showed off what you learned from him. you felt jayâs eyes on you as you swam and it made you nervous about your swimming form.
âwell iâm a much better teacher than jake.â
you didnât know how to respond to that, and you didnât get the chance since jay swam up to you. jayâs fingers trail over your arms, positioning them as he told you how to move them effectively. he then had you swim around his pool more to see what else you needed to work on.
jayâs eyebrows were raised and he looked like he was holding back a laugh. âi told you i was bad!â you exclaimed, sulking down into the water as you swam to him.
ânot bad, justâŚâ jay trailed off and you quirked an eyebrow teasingly at him, âjustâŚâ jay laughed, not able to finish his sentence and you pushed him.
âsee!â you laughed.
âitâs okay, we can fix it.â jay then came closer to you, instructing you to hold out your arms. he came up behind you, his chest almost pressing against your back as his hands slid down your arms. he began to move them in a swimming motion.
âthis is the motion you want your arms to doâstraighten your fingers more, you donât want a cupping motion,â jay spoke. his hands moved to your shoulders as you continued moving your arms, moving them backwards and forwards and then down to your waist to do the same.
you heart rate picked up from just how close he was to you, his hands all over you, and his voice next to your ear. your breath hitched lowly as his hands moved to your hips. of course you noticed just how handsome jay wasâyou noticed when you first surfaced from the water and he scared youâbut seeing it all up close was something different. being this close to him made you feel nervous, and it felt a little wrong, too.
you knew that you and jake werenât together, but being this close to someone else after being so close to him felt a little dirty. like you were cheating on him in some way even though you knew that wasnât true. it alsoâdeep down inside youâexcited you, being this close to another guy.
jay moved around your body until he was to the side of you. his eyes moved from his hands that left your hips and up your body and the way that it moved until his eyes locked on yours. a satisfied smile crossed his features. âjust like that, you got it,â jay praised. you inhaled sharply at the way his praise went straight down to the pit of your stomach.
you hoped that your bodyâs reaction to him came off as nervousness. following his guidance, you gave a small leap as you swam around in a circle in the shallow end of his pool. you did another lap before swimming back to jay. he clapped a couple times as you reached him, a proud smile on his face. âi told you i was a good teacher!â
he grabbed your bare waist as you stilled and your eyes widened a fraction more than they already were. ânext time, though, make sure you use your hips more. it makes the whole movement more smooth.â
the feelings inside you made you feel extremely guilty. jay was simply just trying to teach you how to swim, yet your mind was on anything but that. even now, with his hands sliding down to your hips briefly as he finished speaking, he was so close to you that you were practically chest to chest.
dumbly, you looked at him and into his intense stare, breathing hard. you nodded at his previous sentence, though you werenât actually sure what he said to you. jay smiled, voice softer, âyou did so good! youâll be a pro in no time!â
all you could do was nod again.
there was then silence between the two of you, and this time you were sure that jay could feel the tension. the two of you held each otherâs stare, unbreaking. suddenly, jayâs gaze flicked down to your lips and then back up to your eyes. you inhaled deeply as the look in his eyes shifted.
your phone then went off, the sound of a received text message seemingly louder than it ever was before. you and jay jumped apart, the tension in the air turning awkward as jay shifted away from you slightly. âuh, iâll go get us something to drinkâŚâ he trailed off.
âohâum, yeahâŚâ you muttered awkwardly.
you both got out of the pool and you used the towel hanging off the back of the lounge chair to dry off before checking the message you received.
jake: hey, where are you? are you off work yet? you: yeah! iâve been hanging out with jay. why?
the guilt ate away at you even more. you knew it was ridiculousâyou didnât do anything wrong, the two of you just swam around together. but everything just felt weird and off now, like it was a secret you now had to hide from jake. his next message didnât make you feel any better either.
jake: hanging out with jay?! why are you with him? you: heâs my friend? and i havenât really seen him since i got here⌠you: is that a problem?
jake didnât immediately answer and it made you speculate about the friendship he and jay once had. your phone didnât ping with his text message until right as jay was coming through the sliding glass doors with two cups in his hands. âi got us some lemonade, i hope thatâs okay!â jay said, handing you one of the cups.
jake: no, not a problem at all.
instead of swimming more, you and jay decided to chill outside of the pool and soak in some of the summer sun and talk. the more you talked, the more the awkward tension that was between the two of you slowly dissipated and talking to jay again was easy.
the weird feeling inside of you didnât disappear, though. as you talked, your eyes couldnât help but be attached to jay. the way the sun beamed off his drying skin and how he kept pushing the long, damp strands of his hair out of his face. the way his whole face lit up when you said something funny and a smile broke out into a laugh. it made your heart race.
suddenly, it finally clicked in your brain. you were attracted to him.
guilt poured into you even more and you started to shyly avoid his gaze. if jay noticed the sudden shift in youâwhich you hoped he didnâtâhe didnât mention it. you made sure you eyes were focused on anything but him as you talked.
you tried categorizing jay in your mind as strictly a friend, but even then it felt like he didnât fit into the box. like he belonged somewhere between âfriendâ and âpotential romantic interestâ and that alarmed you even more. so you did the only thing you could think of at the moment to metaphorically shove him back into the âfriendâ box.
âyou know, youâre like my bestfriend, right?â you laughed, making sure to make eye contact with him.
jayâs smile grew. âiâm your bestfriend?â he teased, leaned forward on the lounge chair towards you. âwrite it in stone. get the friendship bracelets out!â a small sigh of relief escaped you and you laughed, glad that he didnât give you a weird look or anything.
jay stood from his chair, a hand at his chest, âi feel like i have to say a speech now or something.â
you immediately waved your hands in the air in front of you. âno!â you dragged the vowel out, âthat is not necessary!â jay laughed harder.
you checked the time on you phone and sighed. âi should probably head home now⌠my momâs probably wondering where i got off to after workâŚâ you stood to your feet, smile faltering on your face.
âno issue! ill walk you,â jay said.
you gave him another shy smile. it was probably best that you didnât spend more time with jay at this moment until you sorted yourself out. you didnât know whether it was that your emotions were still everywhere from the move and you havenât quite settled in yet, or what, but you had to get it together and fast.Â
âohâdonât worry about it!â you quickly said, âi have to stop down by the boardwalk and pick up something for my mom.â it was a lie, but jay was standing so close to you that it was all you had.
âokay!â jay replied. he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a hug, shaking you a bit. âweâll hang out some more sometime later, bestfriend.â
you laughed, hugging him back and ignoring your racing heart. you looked to the sky at the way the sun passed through the leaves of the trees. it was a little past noon and you were ready to get out of your bathing suit.
jay walked you to his backyard gate and opened it for you, following you out. âsee ya!â you waved at him. he repeated your words, waving goodbye.
just as you turned away from him, a rundown van that honestly looked on its last life pulled up to the walkway. behind you, jay scoffed and you looked at the oncomer curiously as you kept walking. you heard jayâs footsteps behind you walk towards the van.
as you turned towards the path to the boardwalk, you heard jay say, âheeseung, when are you gonna get rid of that beat up fucking van? shit is falling apart.â who you could only assume was heeseung replied, âdonât talk about betsy like that!â
you laughed to yourself as you continued on your way away from jayâs house.Â
as you were walking, completely in your own world, you felt an arm wrap around your waist. you nearly jumped out of your skin as you turned and screeched. jake immediately held his hands up, eyes wide and eyebrows raised.
âiâm sorry, iâm sorry! i didnât mean to scare you!â
you let out the biggest sigh of relief before hitting him on the chest. âasshole! this is, like, the second time youâve scared me nearly to death!â
jake laughed before wrapping his arms back around your waist, pulling you into him. he pressed a kiss to your cheek and smiled down at you. âi tried calling your name, but you werenât listening! whatâs on your mind?â
you shook your head slightly and shrugged a little. you were just glad to be in his arms again. ânothing,â you replied, âjust a little spaced out, i guess.â
jake hummed and the two of you continued walking together. you noticed how jake had subtly guided you away from the path to the boardwalk and onto one you remembered from when you first landed hereâhis house.
this was your chance. with jay only giving you a vague answer about their history, maybe jake would give you more insight. you looked at him, âhey, jake?â
jake hummed again, brows slightly drawn together as he smiled at you. it was time to bite the bullet. âyou and jay use to be bestfriends, right? what happened between the two of you?â you asked. jakeâs smile fell and he looked down to the ground before looking forward. there was almost what seemed to be a flash of anger that crossed his features at the mention of jayâs name.
âuhâŚâ jake trailed, tucking a stray strand of his hair that wasnât already tied up behind his ear. âi was a really shitty person back then. i hurt a lot of peopleâdid a lot of things that i now regret.â
that was basically a regurgitated version of what jay had already told you, it wasnât enough. you needed to know more. âyeah, i know that already. but what did you do to him that you guys arenât friends anymore?â you said, trying to make yourself more clear.
âwhy do you want to know so bad?â jake asked, slight annoyance in his tone as he looked back to you. âdid jay say something to you?â his arm around your waist tightened.
jake had never gotten annoyed at you, so you felt the need to defend yourself. âno, but i saw that picture on your wall with you, him, and sunghoon. âswimming buds for life!ââ you sarcastically mocked as you did air quotes. âand you freaked out when you heard that i was hanging out with him. should jay have said something?â
the annoyance in jakeâs features only grew and he rolled his eyes at the mention of jayâs name. you didnât understand why he was acting this way over a simple question. you told him you wanted no drama, and you thought he understood that. so why wonât he tell you what happened between him and jay? you thought that he would start being more transparent with you after last summer.
you didnât realize that you were already at his house until he pushed the door open and took your hand in his to drag you up the stairs to his bedroom. âitâs not important,â jake said, pushing his bedroom door open. you followed him through, shutting the door behind you to muffle the noise. âbut it is!â you insisted, voice raising as you stopped in your tracks.
jake turned around so he faced you, running his hands through the hair that escaped his ponytail that he sported before running them down his face in frustration. âheâs my friend and youâreââ you cut yourself off, sighing deeply and sitting on the edge of his bed. âwhy canât you just give me a straight answer? what is it? what is it about me and him being friendly that has you acting like this?â
you looked at the way jake started to pace in front of you with a worried expression. was what happened between the two of them so bad that it couldnât even be uttered? surely not, right?
âiâi just canât fucking stand him! and i can't stand you with him,â jake began to ramble, face twisted into an expression you couldnât quite read. âyou not with me. i canât stand how he spun all of this to seem like he is the innocent one in all of thisâlike he wasnât part of the game too! like he wasnât a shitty person too!â
jake continued, voice raising, but never reaching a yell, âand i can't standâcouldnât possibly fathom losing you again because of him.â jake came to stand before you, desperately looking at you.
you shook your head in confusion. âwhat are you talking aboutâlosing me? how would you lose me?â
jake slumped down next to you, leaning over to run his hands through his hair that had completely fallen out of his ponytail now. you glanced around his room, noting the pictures of the two of you hanging up on his walls that werenât there before. he had replaced some of the previous pictures with one of the two of you. just then, a lightbulb illuminated in your head. âjake⌠are you⌠jealous?â you asked him quietly, brows drawn together.
âyes!â he exasperatedly shouted, falling back onto his bed and rubbing his eyes.
you turned, âyou have nothing to be jealous about? jay and i are just friends!â
jake shook his head, eyes still covered. âyouâre gonna find out how absolutely shitty i was in the past and how heâs so perfect and want nothing to do with me.â jake uncovered his eyes and looked at you sullenly. âi donât know what i would do with myself if you wanted nothing to do with me.â
you laid down next to him so you were face to face and grabbed his hand. absentmindedly, jake rubbed his thumb on the back of your hand. you looked at jake and his kicked puppy expression, âyou donât have anything to worry about, jake. nothing.â
you looked at him firmly to make sure your words were really sinking in. you may have found jay attractive, but jake is the one who kept you up at night. who you canât stop thinking about no matter how hard you tryâwho you spent a whole year thinking about. the one who you graciously let hold your heart.
âthereâs no competition between you and jay,â you added in a low voice.
jake seemed to relax and the line between his brows smoothened. âa girl,â jake suddenly said. you gave him a confused look.
âhe was in love with this girl, but she liked me instead of him. when he found out things didnât go over so well⌠split the whole swim team in half with people choosing sides. it was a loss for both of us.â jake looked down at your intertwined hands, voice quiet.
âwell iâm not her,â you stated. âyou wonât lose me.âÂ
jake looked up at you and you scooted closer to him, lips mere centimeters apart. âyou wonât,â you repeated, pressing your lips to his. jakeâs hand raised to cup your cheek as his lips fell in sync with yours. the two of you stayed like that for a moment, the kiss growing more passionate and desperate as time went on.
you straddled him, lips still attached to his, and instantly jakeâs hands came to your hips. pulling away, you breathed, âlet me make you feel good this time.â
furrowing his brows, jake looked up at you with confusion. âyou always make me feel good,â you started, crawling backwards until your hands reached the band of his loose shorts. âlet me return the favor.â
you crawled all the way off of his bed and sat on your knees between his legs, your hands resting neatly in your lap. jake sat up, eyes widening slightly as he stared hard down at you. you looked up at him with big, hesitant doe eyes.
âyou cannot look up at me like that, pretty.â a shy smile grew at his words and at the way you saw the tent in his shorts grow.
âwill you teach me how?â you asked him. youâve never given anyone a blowjob in your life, you barely even gave a handjob. nerves flooded you at the fact that you would possibly do something wrong and that would be the end of it. or that you didnât do it well enough and it was just disappointing.
you ran your hands up jakeâs thighs and played with the drawstring of his shorts. jake screwed his eyes shut and nodded a little, inhaling sharply before opening his eyes again. âare you sure?â he asked you, worry tinging his features. âyou donât have toâand i donât want to hurt you.â
âi want to,â you stated firmly, fingers hooking onto the band of his shorts now. you tugged lightly at it.
âalright,â jake breathed out. âdonât do anything you arenât ready for.â
you nodded impatiently, eagerly pulling down his shorts and boxers in response. jake lifted his hips so they slid off all of the way, his heavy cock springing free from its restraints. you took his cock in your hands and jake lightly put a hand on the back of your head to signal you to stop.
âgo slow, and donât try to take more than you can handle to try and please me,â he said seriously. âi donât want you hurting yourself.â
nodding again, you nervously looked at his cock in your hands. you werenât sure what to do first. wrap your mouth around him or stroke him first? your grip was feather-light and you looked back up at jake so he could tell you what to do.
he caressed the back of your head comfortingly, âyou donât have to be nervous, baby, itâs just me.â jake gave you a reassuring smile and you gave him a small nervous one back. âyou donât have to hold it so lightly either, donât be afraid to grab it.â
inhaling deeply, you tightened your grip until it was firm, but not too tight that you thought might hurt. jake moaned lightly, his eyes fluttering closed for a brief second. âi-is that good?â you asked worriedly.
jake nodded, inhaling hard. âyes, yes, just like that.â drips of precum slid down the flushed tip of his cock. ânow, just move your hands up and down while twisting back and forth a little.â
you did exactly as he said, moving you hands up and down his length while maintaining the grip you already had. your eyes were trained on jakeâs face and the way soft moans left his parted lips and his head tilted back more and more.
âgood, baby,â jake breathed out heavily. you felt the way his cock practically throbbed in your hands. âwhen you get to the top, grab harder.â
âharder?â you asked, slightly more worried. your grip was already firm and he wants you to tighten it? jake nodded more, brows knitted together as his eyes squeezed shut, âmhm.â his moans were louder now and his hand that was at your head moved to press down into his mattress with his other hand.
you kept stroking him, his precum making the motion a bit easier. when you got to the flushed tip of his cock, you squeezed down harder. a loud moan left jakeâs mouth as his hips bucked up into your hands. âah fuck,â he groaned under his breath.
you smiled. it was nice to see him twisted in pleasure instead of the other way around. it was especially nice to know that you were the cause of it. that you were making him feel this good. you wondered if this is how he felt when he made you feel this good. it made your skin heat up and arousal pool at your core the more you thought about it and the more he moaned and whimpered for you.
jake tried hard to keep his hips still, but it was as if he physically couldnât control himself. âcan i try my mouth now?â you asked timidly. breathing hard, jake nodded. he looked down at you with hooded, clouded eyes of lust.
you sat up on your knees a bit and leaned forward. you looked down at his reddened mushroom tip and started with some apprehensive kitten licks. above you, jake inhaled sharply. you looked up at him nervously and you saw something shift in his features. his pupils blew wide with lust and his fingers gripped his comforter to keep his hands at his sides.
âslow,â he intrustructed. it came out almost strangled.
hesitantly, you wrapped your mouth around the tip of his cock as if it were a lollipop, sucking your cheeks in a bit. another loud moan was ripped deep from within jake and he threw his head back completely. you pulled your mouth off of him, eyes widening, before preparing yourself to take more of his cock inside your mouth.
you wrapped your mouth around him again, going farther down his thick length before you suddenly gagged. jakeâs eyes flew down at you and his hand grabbed the hair at the back of your head to pull you off of him. âare you okay, baby?â he asked, frantic.
you nodded, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand as you looked up at him with watery eyes. his cock in you free hand twitched. you swallowed thickly, âsorryâŚâ
he moved his hand at the back of your head to caress your cheek. âitâs okay, just take it easy. okay?â jake said softly. âokay,â you replied.
inhaling, you took him into your mouth again, this time taking jakeâs advice and going slow. you went down inch by inch, stopping before you got the feeling of having to gag again. you wrapped your hands around the rest of his length that you couldnât fit inside your mouth and applied the same pressure as before.Â
slowly, you bobbed your head up and down, sucking inwards so your cheeks hollowed. âbreatheââ jake spoke before getting cut off by his own moans and whimpers. ââŚthrough your nose.â
it mustâve been really difficult for jake, trying to control himself while talking you through what to do at the same time. even now, the more you sucked him off, the more you felt him struggling to still himself so he didnât potentially hurt you. a part of you wanted him to just let go.
you didnât even notice the fire in your lungs until he mentioned breathing. so you inhaled through your nose, the tension in your body immediately being relieved even though it took you a few tries to actually breath through your nose and suck at the same time. at the base of his cock, you moved your hands in the same up and down and twisting motion.
jake was practically panting now, knuckles white with the way he gripped his comforter. his moans and whimpers increased and his hips bucked up into your mouth lightly, signaling that he was real close to cumming. âshit,â jake cursed, half of it coming out in a whine.
his hand was at the back of your head again, using your hair to pull your mouth off of him. you kept moving your hands, this time bringing them up furtherâand squeezing at his tipâto accommodate the lack of your mouth.
you barely got to lean away before his cum was shooting out of him and all over your face and hands. drips of it landed on his thighs and jake fell back on his hands, a loud moan ripping through him as his head flew back. you kept stroking him, the remaining cum dripping down your hands, as you helped him through his high. jakeâs hips lazily thrusted up into your hands as he tried to catch his breathing.
once jake was finished, his cock softening in your hands, he sat up to look at you. you looked at him with hesitant doe eyes again and his eyes widened to saucers as he took in the scene in front of him. âwas it good?â you asked shyly, worry hanging on the edge of your words. you swear you felt his cock harden.
âperfect. it was perfect, pretty,â jake responded, gently grabbing your chin. you licked your lips and was surprised at the slight salty taste of his cum. jake smiled and chucked a bit, âif you could see yourself from my point of view right nowâŚâ
you smiled cheekily at him. âso take a picture and show me.â
that got him hard again.
jake raised an eyebrow at you, his smile turning into a smirk. he leaned down to his shorts pocket and fished out his phone, then he aimed the camera at you and you heard the click of a picture.
he still had his phone aimed at you. you giggled, âdo you want me to pose?â jake laughed and you joined him. âif you want,â he smiled.
you lifted his heavy, half hard cock in your hands and placed your tongue at the side of his tip while you stared into the camera. âcarefulâŚâ jake warned teasingly. âi donât think i could control myself again.â you smiled before wrapping your lips around him, giggling.
a moan slipped past jakeâs lips and you laughed, pulling away. he tossed his phone behind him and raised his brows at you. jake grabbed your arms and pulled you to your feet. âokay, little miss eager⌠letâs get you cleaned up. i donât think you want to go walking around with my cum all over your face.â
being back at you and jakeâs spot evoked emotions inside you that you werenât quite ready for. being at your spot and laying under the stars with him caused a whole bigger tidal wave. it made you think of every moment that the two of you had hereâgood and bad. jake was right, this really is the best place to see the stars.
the last time the two of you watched the stars together, you were tucked into jakeâs side, almost cheek to cheek. now the two of you were seperateâthe only connection being the brushing together of your arms. you didnât like how far away he felt, but you werenât quite sure how to bridge the gap further.
you felt jakeâs heavy stare on the side of your face and you looked over at him instead of the stars. you had spent the rest of the day together, roaming around the small town with your phones on record capturing every moment until the two of you ended up here. it felt like the day when you had stumbled into your shared spot and you and jakeâs relationship changed forever. you quirked an eyebrow at him as the two of you stared at each other for a moment. you could tell that something was weighing on his mind.
jake exhaled, âi know you wanna take things slow, so i wonât ask youâŚâ his eyes flickered to the stars before focusing on you again. you really appreciated how he was being open with his feelings with you, especially since he told you how difficult it was for him. âbut, just know youâre the only one for me. no games, no lies, nothing. i want only you. youâre the only one iâll ever want.â
you shifted so you were fully facing him, shocked at where this was coming from all of a sudden. you thought you curbed his earlier jealousyâmaybe it was something else? âis this because of what hana said a few weeks ago? cause i donât believe a single word out of her mouth. i know how you feel about me, i know that you arenât a player anymore.â
âyes and noâŚâ jake trailed. âi just want to make sure that you know. whenever you want to take things to the next level, iâll be there. i donât want you to think this is only about the sex for me, âcause it isnât.â
jake then suddenly panicked, waving his hand in between the two of you. âthough the sex is greatâamazing, even, and i really, really enjoy it! so donât thinkââ
you cut him off with a soft laugh, he is so cute when he is flustered. âi know, jake, i know.â
you sat up from the blanket you both are laying on. âturn around!â you tell jake. he smiled and turned towards the blanket while covering his eyes. âdonât look!â
taking a deep breath, you steadied yourself. you thought now was as good as a time to take things to the next level. in the sand you nervously wrote out âboyfriend? yes or noâ with check boxes next to âyesâ and âno.âÂ
you knew you prioritized taking things slowâwhich you definitely didnât doâand having jakeâs actions speak louder than his words, but you knew what you wanted. you knew the moment you landed here and ran as fast as you could to him. jake is the one that you wantâthe one that youâll always want, and his actions have already proven to you that he feels the exact way.
moving to the side a bit, you told him to open his eyes. you took your lip between your teeth as you watched him read your words in the sand. you let out a small sigh of relief when his whole face lit up and he checked the âyesâ box immediately. giggling, you climbed into his lap and smashed your lips onto his.
âoh! we should take a picture!â jake perked up. he pulled his phone from his pocket and aimed it towards the words in the sand. âphysical memories and all, right? well, not physical, but you know what i mean.â you laughed as he snapped the picture and one of the two of you for good measure.
as jake walks you home, the air between the two of you buzzesâalmost glows with the help of the streetlights. your hand is intertwined in his and the world feels like itâs back in order. itâs electrifyingâthe way you turn and stare up at him just before you step onto your porch. you open your mouth to speak, but jake already knows what the words will be.
just then, the porch light turns on and you quickly look back at it before looking back at him. with a sheepish smile you tell him goodnight. jakeâs heart canât help but swell as he smiles back and kisses you on your cheek. âgoodnight, baby,â he murmurs.
jake watches you walk to your porch and disappear into your houseânot letting go of his hand until the distance physically breaks the two of you apart. he begins to walk home, thoughts of you flooding his mind. jake is so fond of you that it almost hurts. heâs so in love with you that it actually does.
heâs looking through the pictures and videos you both took today, a giddy smile on his face as he starts to send them to you like you asked earlier. then a thought crosses his mind. is it his jealousy and slight possessiveness creeping in? maybe. but his fingers are already moving before he can stop them.
jake just hopes that jay still has the same number.
attaching the imagine of you asking him to be your boyfriend and the selfie of the two of you, jake presses send. he waits a second before typing the message, âoops, meant to send this to my girlfriend. my bad!â
jay: read, 10:57 P.M.
jake smirks as he slides his phone back in his pocket. he knew that he was rubbing it in jayâs face, but he honestly couldnât care less. how dare he try to come between the two of you? jake wouldnât be surprised if he only started talking to you so he could get one up on him. pitiful, really.
it didnât matter anymore, because now you were jakeâs girlfriendâand you were all that mattered to him.
âyou just canât help yourself, huh?â a voice said behind you.
you were in the middle of wrapping up your shiftâcleaning the counter and tidying up for the next personâs shift. turning, confusion written all over your face, you were then face to face with hana. anger coiled her features into a scowl and she looked almost⌠paranoid? mascara clumped below her lashes and she honestly looked a mess. your brows knitted together at her words. what was she on about now?
âjake is mine,â she said with fevered passion. you just rolled your eyes and continued tidying up, opting to ignore her. that didnât stop hana. she slammed her hands down on the counter, leaning forward. you raised an eyebrow at her. âfirst jake, now jayâyou just canât help going after my sloppy seconds, canât you?â hana continued, almost shouting. she was borderline hysterical and you genuinely started to get worried.
âwhat? what are you talking about, hana?â you asked, turning fully to her.
your response only seemed to piss hana off even more than she was. red-hot anger boiled behind her eyes and she was attracting the attention of people passing by, but she either didnât notice or didnât care. âdonât âwhatâ me. you know exactly what iâm fucking talking about! what do they even see in you?â
you honestly had no words. hana stormed off, giving you one last glare. you stood in place frozen, rag hanging limply from your fingers.
the vibration of your phone knocked you back to your senses and you quickly finished tidying up. you clocked out and on the way home you opened your phone to see what the vibration was.
jake: lunch at your house with your mom today is still on right? you: yup! jake: see you there, pretty.
you pushed open your front door, gaining your momâs attention. she mustâve walked through the door minutes prior since she was surrounded by grocery bags. you helped her bring them into the kitchen and unload them.
âso⌠you and that jake boy, huh?â your mother asked you innocently, putting stuff away into the fridge. you were next to her putting stuff into cabinets. âyeah,â you said sheepishly, âweâre back together now.â
she hummed, quiet for a moment. âi know last year the two of you had problems that hindered you from wanting to come back hereâproblems that i see have been resolved now. i can tell that he does really care about you, honey, so donât be afraid to jump feet first.â she looked at you from where she stood in front of the fridge, a spacey look in her eyes. you can tell she was thinking about your father.
âthanks, mom,â you smiled at her. she snapped out of her haze, smiling back at you.
âand thenââ you were cut off by a moan pushing itself out of your mouth, your back arching slightly off your bed. âand then she was just shouting like a maniac! the whole time iâm trying to figure out what sheâs on about while everyone around us is staring.â
another soft moan left your parted lips and your fingers grabbed tightly onto your blankets. your brows drew together as your mind started to get hazy. you were just about to lose tract of what you were saying before the image of hanaâs hysterical and angry face popped into your mind. âare you even listening to me?â you asked, flicking the blanket off of you.
jake looked up at you, lips attached to your core and fingers buried deep inside you. he hummed in question and it sent shockwaves throughout youâmaking your hips buck up into his mouth and your eyes flutter shut briefly. you pouted and jake pulled away from you, pulling his fingers out of youâthe wetness coating themâand resting his hand on your inner thigh so your legs stayed apart.
âbaby, i do not care about hana,â jake said. you scoffed and looked up at your ceiling, old glow in the dark stars sticking to it. jake chuckled and crawled up your body so you were face to face. âwho cares what she said! sheâs delusional and crazyâignore her.â
you sighed and jake laughed more. ânow, do you want me to continue or do you wanna rant more?â he asked you. you pouted more at him and he kissed your lips.
there was a knock at your door and you and jake panicked and he ended up falling off your bed and to the ground next to it with a loud thud. âone second!â you called as you pulled your panties back from the side and adjusted your skirt so it wasnât halfway up your stomach.
turning to jake, you put a finger to your lips, motioning for him to stay silent. you went to your door and opened it up just enough to show your body. âwhat was that?â your mom asked you.
you furrowed your brows, pretending like it wasnât jake falling on his ass, before acting like you realized what she was talking about. âoh, that thud? it was my suitcaseâi still havenât fully unpacked yetâŚâÂ
your mom tsked at you and handed you a dress. âfound one of my old dresses while cleaning out grandmaâs closet, i thought you might want it to wear to summer splash.â your eyes widened at you took it from her, a thankful smile forming on your face.
âitâs beautiful, mom,â you spoke as you examined it. she smiled before leaving you to unpack.
you laid the dress on the chair next to your closet before turning to jake. you held out a hand as you waited for your momâs footsteps to retreat completely before rushing to him and helping him to his feet. the two of you smiled sheepishly at each other.
âi think i should go,â jake said in a low voice. he wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his face in your neck. the tips of his ponytail tickled your cheek. jake pressed a kiss to your neck, making you shiver, before looking back at you. âwe can finish this later.â
heat rushed to your face and you nodded, fighting the urge to cover your face from him. jakeâs smile turned to a half-smirk. he started to walk towards your door but you pulled him back towards you by his hand, a wild look on your face. âyou canât just go out the front door!â you whisper-yelled.
jakeâs brows furrowed. âwhy not?â he whispered back.
you gave him an incredulous look. âjake, i snuck you in here,â you said before pointing to your window. âyou were supposed to leave after lunch⌠youâre gonna have to use the window.â jake looked at the window and then at you, unmoving.
pulling him to the window, you opened it and the warm summer nighttime air hit you. you turned to jake and motioned to the window. jake raised his brows. he then intertwined your hands and rested his forehead against yours for a moment before kissing you gently.
âiâm going to be coming through your window all of the time now, i hope you realize that,â jake said lowly. you laughed softly at him, âiâll leave it unlocked for you then.â
jake leaned on your open window, looking down at the grass below before turning to you. âyouâre still my date to the summer splash event, right?â you rolled your eyes playfully at him, âduh! of course i am!â
jake smiled and kissed your cheek before stepping over the ledge of the window. he started climbing down before he unceremoniously fell on his ass again. you gasped and shouted in a low, worried voice, âare you okay?!â
jake gave you a pained smile and a thumbs up before getting up and shaking himself off. you watched as the living room light turned on. you and jake froze for a second, his eyes darting up to yours, before he took offâwaving at you as he ran down the street.
you held in the urge to laugh as you quietly shut your window again, making sure to leave it unlocked. you were sure you were gonna hear about the âstrange noisesâ tomorrow. you pulled your phone out and texted jake.
you: very smooth. jake: i know, iâm such a pro!
jake attached a blurry picture of him smiling while running that finally got you to laugh.
[ CHANGEOVER â THE SUMMER SUN SETS EARLY ] đź and a cold wind sweeps up the sea.
jake laughedâthe vibrations traveling throughout your body as you laid on his chestâand scrolled to another video on his phone for the two of you to watch together. he had come through your window like he promised and the two of you had spent the night in the same bed. now the both of you were in the bare bones of your pajamasâyou in a thin tank top and panties and him just in his boxersâthe morning of the summer splash charity event.
after a couple more videos, jake shut his phone off and looked down at you on top of him. âas much as i enjoy you sitting on my cock, we should both probably get ready⌠today is gonna be a long day.â
you snuggled deeper into his bare chest. the simple feeling of being stuff so full already had your mind cloudy. âbut iâm so comfortable!â you mumbled, glancing up at him. jake smirked.
jakeâs hands trailed down to your waist, his touch sending a shiver down your spine. âhm, youâre so comfortable⌠how comfortable?â he asked, voice low. you sat up fully, a flirty smile crossing your features. you rested your hands on his chest.
âvery comfortable.â
âletâs see, then.â jakeâs smirk grew as his hands trailed down to your hips, head tilting to the side. his hands squeezed your hip slightly and you were practically already dripping.
you started rolling your hips, using your hands on his chest as leverage. both of your breathing started to get heavier. âlike this?â you asked innocently, lifting your hips a little and dropping them again as you rolled them. jakeâs eyes rolled back and his head fell back on your headboard.
âyes⌠exactly like that,â he breathed, voice almost hoarse.
the more you moved, the louder your moans grew and the cloudier your head got. at some point jake had to hold his hand over your mouth to muffle them. âshh, pretty,â he shushed in a husky voice. âiâm sure you donât want someone to come in here and see us.â
you shook your head as you kept riding him. âf-feels so good, i canât stop myself.â jakeâs response was to kiss you instead, muffling your shared moans with each otherâs mouths. he bit down softly on your lower lip and smirked at the way you moaned against his mouth.
the fabric between the two was seemingly too much for jake. before you could even chase his lips, your tank top was off and his lips were on your skin and his hands were exploring the new access to your body. you bit down hard on your bottom lip as his plump lips left love bites all over your skin.
a loud whimper left your mouth when jake adjusted your position so that he could easily fuck up into you. you buried your face in his neck to silence yourself, hoping that the loud sounds of skin slapping against skin didnât alert any of your family members.
âf-fuckââ jake swore, voice stuttering as he suddenly stilled inside you. warm cum spilled into you and filled you even more. you looked up from jakeâs neck through hooded eyes and watched the way his eyes fluttered closed.
jake exhaled heavily, his forehead resting against yours as his cum dripped out of you and down his hard cock. his lips sloppily connected with yours as his hips started fucking up into you again.
your brows harshly drew together as your moan was muffled by jakeâs mouth. your nails dug into his shoulders and your body started to shake as each wave of pleasure hit you one by one like a tsunami.
âfeels good, baby?â jake whispered near your ear, voice husky. you could barely answer him because if you did you would end up shrieking. all you could do was nod weakly as high-pitched whimpers and whines escaped past your lips.
jake swore again when you tightly clenched down onto him, body shaking like a leaf and nails so deep in his shoulders that you werenât surprised if you drew blood. suddenly the floodgates opened and you were cumming harder than you ever did before as your body fully collapsed on top of jake.
stars swirled in your eyes as jake helped you through your orgasm, kissing your cheek and shoulder comfortingly as he rubbed circles onto your back. both of you were covered in a sheen of sweat and breathing heavily, the point where the two of you connected sticky with your mixed cum.
once your head wasnât on cloud nine anymore, you shakily sat up. you gave jake a hazy smile and giggled. jake pulled you closer to him, chuckling, before he kissed you softly. âwe might be in trouble,â he said in a low voice, accent heavy. you giggled again, ignoring the way your pussy throbbed from his voice alone.
you pulled away from him, almost fully naked body on full display for him. you both were definitely gonna have to throw away your respective panties and boxers after this. jake looked down at the mess you both created before caressing your waist with his thumb. there was that fondness in his eyes again. âyouâre so pretty like thisâŚâ he trailed and you hid your face with your hands, heat rushing to your face as you shyly smiled.
jake pulled away your hands. âmy pretty girl,â he said affectionately. you lifted your hips and pulled yourself off of his cock, more cum spilling out of you. you leaned back down to kiss him. âwe should get ready now,â he said, pressing another chaste kiss to your lips.
you hummed before throwing his famous smirk at him. jake quirked an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth raising. âgetting ready can wait another thirty minutes,â you murmured before trailing kisses down his body. jakeâs breath hitched and his eyes fluttered shut when your kissed stopped right where the band of his boxers were.
your smirk grew. it was nice to know that you had the same effect on him that he had on you. that you could get him all worked up so easily like he sat in the palm of your hand. it made you feel on top of the world. âwe arenât done yet,â you said, grabbing his cum-covered cock into your hand as you began to stroke slowly.
a whimper left jakeâs parted lips as his eyes cracked open. the corners of his mouth were still raised, âiâm gonna make you eat your words.â
itâs safe to say that you and jake were a little late showing up to the summer splash charity event. all around the beach and boardwalk were people participating in various contests and competitions to raise money for the sheltered animals in town. you were in one of your momâs old dressesâit was so beautiful and formal that you felt a little awkward and restricted despite its flowinessâand jake had on a nice suit that matched your dress. the two of you looked stunning, if you did say so yourself.
at some point jake got pulled away from you by his friends to participate in a competition and you wandered the boardwalk looking at all the competing people. you could see why this was held every year, everyone was buzzing with energy and there were smiles all around.
âhey⌠y/n?â you turned to see jay coming up to you. you smiled at him.
âoh! hey, jay!â you said, turning to face him. he had a serious expression on his face and your eyes knitted together in worry. âwhatâs wrong?â you asked him. jay inhaled deeply and a flood of words poured from his mouth.
âlisten, i know you may think jake is the one, but he isnât the saint you think he is.â jay gave you a firm stare. you looked away, sighing to yourself. âjayâŚâ you trailed.
jay cut you off. âi have to say this before itâs too late. i like you, y/n. i really like you. and iâd never put you through all the things he hasâlead you on or fill your head with lies and half-truths. if youâd give me the chance, i could show you that weâre a better match.â you opened your mouth to speak but he cut you off again. âthink about itâŚâ
jay then left you standing dumbfounded and completely confused on the boardwalk.
later that night, there was a venue the coordinators booked where people could dance and mingle with each other over drinks. you and jake were on the dance floor, way past tipsy, but not quite as drunk yet. a slow song started to play and the two of you swayed side to side before jake spun you.
you smiled adoringly up at him and he mirrored your expression. you leaned closer to him and leaned your head against his chest as the two of you continued to sway. âyou do know how much i like you,â you said to him, loud enough for it to be heard over the music but low enough that only his ears could hear and a bit slurred. you felt jake chuckle as his arms wrapped tightly around your waist.
âi do,â he replied. âyou do know how much i like you, right?â you laughed and pulled away slightly to look up at him. you pressed your lips against his softly.
there was something else hanging in the air between you that you couldnât quite put your finger on. maybe your head was too misty from the alcohol, but it felt like it was on the tip of both of your tongues. you didnât linger on it, mind distracted by the sudden need to use the restroom.
pulling away from jake, you told him this and made your way to the restrooms. jake watched you leave, a small smile on his face. his face dropped when he saw a sneering hana follow after you. in a quick second decision he decided to go after the both of you.
when jake caught up to the two of you, it felt like he was walking directly into a car crash. âthe year you were gone he was with me!â he heard hana say as she shoved her phone in your face, swiping through various pictures. confusion spread through him. what was she talking about now?
your brows were knitted together as you took the phone from her, looking through all the pictures of her and jake. even with your clouded mind, you didnât believe hana at first, but ask you kept scrolling you werenât quite sure anymore. jakeâs hair was almost the same length as it was now and when you checked the dates it said it was from a year ago.
âmhm!â hana said, and it felt like she dug her claws into your heart and ripped it out. âas soon as you got on that plane he came to me!â your heart dropped and you turned to jake, hurt written all over your face. you felt absolutely crushed.
âis this true?â you asked him, voice trembling.
after everything he said to youâhe went back to her? when he said that nothing happened between them and nothing will ever again⌠was that all just a lie? did he take you as a fool again? you couldnât believe this.
âi love you, you know id never go back to her when this whole time iâve been waiting for you.â jake stepped towards you, still confused about what was happened. all he knew was that he didnât want to see that hurt look on your faceâhe couldnât take it. you quickly took a step back from him and he practically shriveled up and died.
in the background the coordinators were announcing how much money was raised tonight, but you could barely hear them with your heart beating in your ears. âbut you went back to her,â you spoke, voice raising.
jake gave you an incredulous look. âyouâre telling me you believe whatâs coming out of her mouth right now? seriously? whatever she showed youâtheyâre fake. she probably edited them.â
tears welled up in your eyes, your emotions everywhere from that stupid alcohol you decided to drink. âi donât know what to believe anymore! itâs always fucking something with you and iâm tired of it!â you exclaimed. you wanted to wrap your arms around yourself and disappear.
jake pleaded with you, âlisten to me. listen to what iâm telling you! itâs not true.â he took another step towards you and this time you let him.
seemingly out of thin air, jay appeared next to the three of you, turning his attention to jake. âwhy donât you tell her about what happened between the three of us, jake.â he motioned with a finger between him, jake, and hana. your brows drew deeper together as you looked between him. what is jay talking about?
âyeah, jake!â hana chimed it, a sickly sweet smile curling up the corners of her lips. âtell her.â
you looked back at jake and the bewildered look on his face as jay and hana pounced on him. jay then looked at you, âwell, if you wonât tell y/n then i will.â
jay stepped closer to you and jake and wrapped an arm around jakeâs shoulders. âyou wanna know the real reason why jake and i arenât bestfriends anymore?â jake pushed jay off of him but jay just shook his head, lips twitched up slightly into what looked like a sneer.
âbelieve it or not, we use to be closeâme, jake, sunghoon, the whole damn highschool swim team. until jakey hereââ jay poked a finger into jakeâs chest ââdecided to let it all crash and burn.â jay then turned to you. ânow, iâm not the most innocent either. jake and sunghoonâs game they like to playâthe whole player lifestyleâi use to be part of it all. we were all shitty, together.â
jay continued. âwe would see who could get attached to us the fastest, and once theyâd become too clingy⌠dropped. you see, we werenât looking for anything serious, just some fun! we had just graduated and werenât looking to settle down anytime soon. that is⌠until i was.â he then turned to hana, motioning a weak hand at her. ânow i should've known better to fall for someone who was clearly still so obsessed with jake, but i thought it was young love. pathetic.â
hana rolled her eyes at jay before tilting her head at you, âyou arenât as special as you think. before he took your virginity, he took mine. i was you, donât you see?â
jay snorted, âbefore he dropped you and barely remembered your name or who you were at all.â hana scoffed at him but jay ignored her. âhana and i started going steady and jake and sunghoon didnât like that. it was always âoh, the two of you arenât serious! youâll just drop her like the rest!â but months past and me not playing the game anymore only angered them more.â
jake finally seemed to snap out of his fog. âyouâre such a fucking liar. we werenâtââ
âso they decided to get back at me, a harmless prank,â jay cut him off. âand clearly hana was using me to get back to jake, unbeknownst to me. they all thought it would be so funny if i found jake and hana together, to show me that she âwasnât really worth it.â and i did find themâonly i didnât find it funny, but to them the plan went off without a hitch so it was a success.â
jay turned from all of you. you could feel the anger radiating off of him as he retold the story and lived through all of the memories. shock grew on your face and you looked at jake with wide eyes.
âcue the big, disastrous fight that split the former swim team in half. lifelong friendships were broken, people were betrayed, and people chose sides. you get the gist.â jay turned back to you all, waving a hand in the air, face steeled.
he looked at you again. âyou wanna know the kicker? despite not giving a single fuck about hanaânot oneâhe then dated her after for four months. just to really stick it to me.â
your mind flashed to jakeâs letter. about three years ago he said him and hana dated for four months but they âdidnât click,â so he broke up with her. he said that ever since sheâs been making his life hell with her obsession with him and her trying to get back together. you felt like you were going to throw up. you hated hana, that much was obvious, but you couldnât really dismiss the fact that jake took her virginity and then dropped her. it wasnât an excuse, but itâs no wonder sheâs so obsessed with him.
like she said, she was you. he probably made her feel like the only girl in the world for that one night.
âyouâre just jealous of what jake and i had,â hana said, crossing her arms over her chest. jayâs gaze darted to herâs and wryly laughed. âsure, hana. you keep telling yourself whatever you need to help you sleep at night. jake never liked you the way you think he did. the only reason he dated you so long was because sunghoon dared him to see how long he could go before going crazy.â
hana blinked a couple times. clearly that information was new to her, too.
âiâm never one to forgive and forget, so now you can see why our friendship has long been dead and buried,â jay concluded. âi told you heâs not the saint you think he is.â jay sounded sorry for you and jake just stared at you with wide, fearful eyes. it was all too much for you to process.
âi need some space. i canât⌠itâs over.â cheering exploded around you from everyone else at the party and you stumbled away, pushing through the door until you were hit in the face with fresh air. tears fell from your eyes and distantly you heard voices behind you calling your name.
you felt like no matter how hard you tried, oxygen wouldnât reach your lungs. you pressed your hand to your stomach, trying to will yourself to breathe. you heard people arguing next to you and you closed your eyes to try and steady yourself as you inhaled sharply, air finally reaching your lungs. you turned to the voices as your ears suddenly heard them clearly.
âyou just want everything i have, donât you? canât help yourself, huh?â jake shouted at jay.
jay got in his face and shouted back. âlike you canât help but throw the people you âcareâ about to the side?â jay turned his focus to you. âtell me, y/n, who did he put over you this time? what lie has he told you to keep you crawling back to him?â
jake pushed jay hard. âdonât fucking talk to my girlfriend like that!â
ânewsflash, you fucking idiot, she isnât your fucking girlfriend anymore! you canât help but ruin everything you touch!â jay yelled at jake. you felt your throat tightening again and you took a step back from them.
tears poured down your cheeks and a loud sob left your parted lips. they froze as their gaze snapped to your broken form. you turn and took off in a random direction that you hoped was towards your house.
you ran until you physically felt like you were gonna burst and gulped in a large breath of air. you heard jake calling after you as you swayed on your feet, vision blurring even more. jake put a hand on your shoulder, âbabyâŚâ
you spun in place, shrugging his hand off of you. âexplain. explain right fucking now, or i swear weâre done for good. what else have you been keeping from me?â you asked through tears.
in the moonlight you could see the sparkle of tears welling up in jakeâs eyes. âi swear thereâs nothing else! i-i just didnât want you to look at me like a monster when iâve done everything in my power to not be that person anymore,â jake promised. you scoffed and looked away from him.
âiâm not gonna let you slip through my fingers again,â jake said. he sounded desperate but his words fell on deaf ears. âi already am,â you coldly replied.
jake grabbed your hand in his, intertwining them. suddenly you felt his hands all over youâhis lips all over you and leaving the marks that were still on your skin, covered. ây/n⌠please just think this through. i havenât seen hana at all until that day on the beach with you. i was a horrible person back then, but canât you see that iâve changed?â
you pulled your hand away. âi need time to know if i can trust you. we need to spend some time apart,â you replied, completely detached. the tears stopped falling from your eyes but your cheeks were still wet. all you felt was numb. you gave jake one last look before turning and walking away.
you havenât been processing the past week and a half wellâif at all. instead, youâve been drinking a lot more than you care to admit. there practically hasnât been a day where you werenât at least a little bit tipsy. like today, you were just past tipsy and at the point where your mind was fogged over.
all you could think about was how hana said that she was you at one point and how that completely messed with your brain. what if jake was just seeing how long he could spend with you before going crazy like he did with hana? make you feel like the only girl in the world until the two of you âdonât clickâ anymore? it all terrified you, so you decide to not think about it at all.
you and jungwon were in your living room, lazily lounging on the couch as episodes of H2O: just add water played. you sighed deeply to yourself and jungwon looked over at you in question.
âeverything reminds me of him,â you sighed again, watching as the girls raced to cover from the water.
jungwon side-eyed you. âbe serious,â he said, eyes focusing on the tv screen again.
you stood from the couch, stumbling a bit. jungwon sat up. âwhere are you going?â he asked. you grabbed your jacket, thereâs been quite the chill in the air lately, and slipped on your shoes at the door. âsomewhere where i donât think of him,â you responded.
opening the door, you stepped out before jungwon could say anything else.
truthfully, you didnât know where you were going. you decided to wander and let your feet guide you hopefully to somewhere that jake wasnât. thatâs how you ended up a couple feet from jayâs backyard gate.
his words crept into your mind. maybe the two of you were the better matchâand you were so, so lonely. at the very least, you just needed someone to comfort you. you knew drinking everyday wasnât healthy, and jay was your friend. he would help you, right?
suddenly you heard his voice. ây/n?â jay asked and his face appeared in front of you. he looked worried and it took a second to realize that you were crying.
jay ushered you inside and to his room. he sat you on his bed, making sure that you were comfortable as he laid your jacket onto his desk chair. âwhat happened?â jay asked and all the emotions you tried so hard to keep at bay rushed forward.
it didnât help that you caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on jayâs door. jakeâs love bites were just about healedâbut you could still see them. it made you cry harder.
jay took you into his arms and you melted into them, crying into his chest. he rubbed comforting circles into your back and held you close until you were able to calm down a little. you looked up at him for a moment, still teary eyed, and softly pressed your lips to his.
you could tell that he was shockedâyou were a little too, but he kissed you back nonetheless. the soft kiss between the two of you soon grew heated and you lifted yourself up onto the bed to sit in jayâs lap as his hand came to rest against your cheek. it wasnât enough, you needed more.
deepening the kiss you grinded against jayâs thigh and he pulled away from your lips slightly, brows drawn together as his eyes remained closed. ây/nâŚâ jay breathed, his voice low. âyou're emotions are high right now and i donât want you to do something that youâll end up regretting. take a nap, we can talk more when you wake up and youâre sober.â
he pulled away more but you just shook your head. you needed this. âpleaseâŚâ you whispered, looking at him desperately before chasing his lips. whatever internal battle jay had with himself, he clearly lost as he kissed you back with more passion than before.
you grinded against his thigh more, low whines escaping your mouth as you tried to pull him closer. then, you blinked and you were under him. the two of you caught your breath, staring deeply into each otherâs eyes. âdo you want me to be niceâŚâ jay trailed, breath fanning across the side of your neck, ââŚor do you want me to be mean?â
change is what you needed, and jake was always so nice when the two of you were intimate. âmean,â you replied, voice barely above a whisper. jay smiled before dipping his head to kiss you again, this time rougher.
clothes were discarded and in a flash you were laying naked on jayâs bed. your legs wrapped around his waist to pull him closer as you grabbed his shoulders for dear life as he pushed into you. your face contorted into one of pleasure and you buried your face into the crook of his neck to muffle your moan.
jay pushed you back onto the bed so he could get a full view of you and shook his head. âso pathetic and desperate⌠i want to hear you moan for me.â
he thrusted roughly into you and you moaned loudly. âthatâs it,â jay smiled, fucking into you at a fast pace.
your eyes rolled back and all you could do was let the moans and whines and whimpers spill from your open mouth. jayâs pace was so fast that you felt like you were being split in two, his thick length stretching you so good that you saw stars.
he bent down to the shell of your ear, grunting from the effort he was putting in as he held down your hips, âi bet he never made you feel this good.â your back arched off the bed as you started to tremble.
ânever was able to have to have you act like a whore in heat for cock, has he?â jay asked. you couldnât answer him, head too in the clouds to even form a coherent sentence. you felt too good and pleasure spread throughout every inch of your body. it made you forget what you even came here for.
you were flipped so that you were on your hands and knees. your face fell down into the pillow. suddenly, there was pain at your scalp. jay kissed the side of your neck, his hand buried in your hair. âshow me how much of a good girl you are. how desperate you are.â
gulping, with shaky legs you fucked yourself on his cock. everytime your head would try to fall, jay would tighten his grip in your hair to keep you upright. the more you fucked yourself onto him, the more your legs shook at the feeling in the pit of your stomach grew. you were sent over the edge when jay pushed your head into the pillows and fucked you himself.
âtoo m-much!â you cried, tears springing to your eyes. âcanâtâŚâ
âawe, you poor slutâŚâ jay cooed mockingly. his condescending words only aided the rope in your stomach further to snapping. âsweet, pretty little whore. be glad your head is in the pillows and iâm not making you ride me like i should be.â
you cried out again, rope completely snapping as you came around jayâs cock. he didnât stopâof course he didnât. he was gonna keep going until he got his fill too.
you writhed underneath him as his pace only grew quicker. he pulled you by your hair towards him and back onto his cock as leverage to rut into you quicker. your mixed grunts and moans filled his room and the overstimulation sent you spiraling.
jay twitched inside you and he let go of your hair and grabbed your hips tightly, holding them against his as he came inside you and filled you up more. a loud moan fell from his lips as you fell back into the pillows, your body feeling like complete jelly.
âfuck,â jay groaned. âthatâs my little slut.â
pulling out of you, you felt as your mixed cum poured out of you and down the back of your legs in a thick load. jay cursed behind you again before taking two fingers and fucking your sensitive hole with them, groaning at the wet sound it made. you whimpered, trying to angle your hips away from him.
âso pretty⌠so pathetic.â jay chuckled to himself.
your mind was still hazy from the alcohol as jay pulled you up onto shaking legs to get you all cleaned up in his bathroom. you could barely see with the change of scene and bright lights making everything seem blurry. you didnât even realize that you were back in his room now and he was helping you put your shirt back on.
it wasnât until you woke up, who knows how many hours later, next to him in just your shirt and panties confused. your head felt like it was going to explode from the alcohol as you took a look around the room, eyes widening from the unfamiliar surroundings. you were even more confused when a sleeping, half-naked jay was next to you. a horrific expression set on your face.
the sun was just about to set and guilt and regret hit you like a freight train. slowly, you slid out of the bed, making sure that jay didnât wake up. you hurriedly put the rest of your clothes and jacket on and rushed out of jayâs room as quietly as you could.
all of the memories rushed back to you all at once as you rushed down the path to the boardwalk. what have you done? kissing jay was one thing, but sleeping with him? that was something entirely else. now it was all tangled in your emotions regarding your relationship with jake.
head hung low, you ran all the way back to you house, wishing that you never stepped out in the first place.
you had just gotten off work and were on your way home when a hand grabbed your wrist and spun you around.
âso you slept with him?â jake asked, crossed somewhere between hurt and anger. your eyes widened and that familiar guilt filled you once more. âi-i was drunk, it was a mistake!â you quickly replied.
jake wryly laughed. âa mistakeâŚâ he trailed, shaking his head and looking to the ground.
âyes, a mistake!â you exclaimed, pulling your wrist from his grasp. âand i regret ever doing it. youâre acting like youâre the only one whoâs allowed to make mistakes!â jake looked at you incredulously. âhow did you even find out?â you asked.
you surely didnât tell anybody, you had no want nor need to flaunt it around. it never shouldâve happened at all. that doesnât mean jake got to look at you like you betrayed him when the two of you arenât even together anymore.
jake pulled out his phone and shoved the screen in your face. âbecause he sent me a fucking picture of you sleeping half-naked in his bed with the word âcheckmateâ attached.â
heart dropping, you took jakeâs phone as you looked horrifically at his screen. you werenât half-nakedâyou were covered by your rolled up shirt and pantiesâbut it was still way too exposed. you honestly couldnât believe that jay would take a picture of you afterâand send it to jake, no less.
the sudden realization hit you harder than all of the guilt and regret youâve been feeling. jay used you to get a leg up on jake. how much of him liking you was just him trying to get back at jake through you. a second realization hitâtheyâve both been using you to get back at each other in this years-long rivalry. you felt sick.
tears welled up in your eyes and you pushed jakeâs phone into his chest to get it away from you. you ran your hands down your face as you tried to breathe. you then glared up at him, âdonât act like you care... you only want me to get a leg up on jay. you donât actually want me. both of you have been using me to get back at each other. all of this has been meaningless.â
âthatâs not true, and you know thatâs not true.â jake sighed deeply. âif you want jayâfine. iâll take a step back and i wonât bother you anymore. but you canât keep dragging me along and toying with both our feelings because you canât decide. we canât do this anymoreâi canât do this anymore, y/n. you know that iâm in love with you, and i know that you love me too deep inside. iâm trying to tell you how you calling this all meaningless really hurts me.â
âyouâd know a lot about hurting people,â you murmured. âand âdragging you alongâ? âtoying with both of your feelingsâ? iâve done nothing of the sort.â a single tear fell from your eye and you harshly wiped it away.
âif you canât accept that it was a mistake sleeping with jay and that i deeply regret itâwhatever. but, the only people dragging people along and toying with feelings have been you and jay.â with that you turned on your heels and stormed off.
[ AUTUMN â THE COLD AIR MATCHES YOUR HEART ] đź and itâs freezing to the boneâyet, thereâs a spark.
your mind was everywhere lately, a complete mess. at least you had stopped drinking since sleeping with jay. only, things changed for the worse.
you felt like an echo of who you were when you first arrived in this town. in a couple of weeks you had managed to convince yourself that maybe this was the best you were ever going to get. that maybe letting people use you in such ways was the only way you would ever feel loved. at least, thatâs how it seemedâand so far nothing was proving your thoughts wrong.
the relationship between you and jay was complicated. you didnât even know how to describe it anymore. he went around acting as if you were his girlfriend, even going so far to plant kisses on your cheeks. however, the two of you havenât even kissed since the day you slept with him.
on your end, he was still just a close friendâthough you have been growing more distant from him. you didnât know if he noticed, and at this point you didnât care. the only thing you wanted to do these days were get up, go to work, go home, and sleep the rest of the day away.
you were walking home one day after work, completely out of it and not at all listening to what jay was saying to you, when he stopped you. jay sighed to himself, like something had been weighing on his mind. âi canât,â he said suddenly. all your energy allowed was the quirk of your eyebrow in a silent question.
âthis has to stop. clearly you arenât interested and i like you way too much to have only a half-assed relationship. itâs either one-hundred percent or nothing at all.â
something clicked in your brain and you gave him a pleading look as you shook your head. you didnât want to lose the only affection you had left. âwhat are you talking about?â you asked.
âi mean come on, the two of you are made for each other, it's clear as day!â jay drawled. âhas anyone told you what he was like when you left? even i was shocked to see him look like a shell of himself. and you act like i canât see itâeven when youâre with me youâre imagining youâre with himâŚâ
tears poured from your eyes as you shook your head more. âno⌠no, thatâs not true!â
deep down you knew it was true. you spent all your waking hours thinking about jake. thought about how royally you both fucked everything up. and to think that you didnât want drama this summer⌠all your summer was filled with was dramaâand it was creeping into your autumn too.
all you wanted was to be in jakeâs arms again, but you didnât know if that would ever happen. not after how much the two of you hurt each other. maybe it was for the best that you werenât together if all it was going to cause was pain.
jay nodded at you solemnly. âgo. be with him. stop delaying the inevitable when we both know the two of us wonât work out.â
âbut-but i like you!â you exclaimed. another lie, but it was your last attempt at the love you so desperately clung toâeven if it was false.
ânot in the same way you love him, y/n.â
jay gave you a sad smile before he turned and walked away, leaving you standing alone as tears slid down your cheeks. you wrapped your arms around yourself as the cold autumn breeze draped over your body and made you shake. you sniffled and kept walking to your house, trying not to cry harder.
later that night you were even more of a mess than you were before. you sat in the dark of your room as you cried even more and even harder, the tears just seemingly never ended.
all you thought about was how you fucked everything up. how nothing will ever probably be the same again. and worst of allâall you wanted was someone who most likely didnât want anything to do with you anymore.
to make matters worse, the subconscious part of your brain was working overtime and you didnât even register the ringing of the phone pressed to your ear until it was too late.Â
ây/n?â jakeâs voice asked softly, slightly groggy. shit.
your eyes widened to saucers and you fumbled with the phone in your hands as you tried to quiet your sobs. you finally pressed the âendâ button and threw your phone across the room. seconds later you heard your phone buzzing with a missed call and texts from jake.Â
âshitâŚâ you trailed, realizing your mistake. all you did these days were make mistakes. âshit, shit, shit!â the tears fell from your eyes faster and you desperately wanted to screamâand you wouldâve if it wasnât so late in the night and your family was asleep.
a few minutes later, you heard the familiar opening of your window. jake stepped over the window ledge, clad in his pajamas and his long hair tousled like he got attacked by wind despite there not being even a breeze outside. shocked filled you as your eyes met his after so long.
you quickly wiped away your tears and turned your back to him. âi-i donât want to talk to you!â you lied, sniffling hard to stop the sob trying to fight its way out of your body. you hated to admit it, but jakeâs mere presence already made you feel immensely better.
the sound of your window closing behind you made you jump slightly. âthen donât talk,â jake said. behind you, the bed dipped. jake pressed his back against yours and you could feel the slow rise and fall of his breathing. âbut iâm not leaving you alone right now.â
slowly, jake intertwined his hand with yours. âyou can be as angry as you want with me. be as silent as a mouse until you want to talk again⌠but iâm not leaving your side.â the pad of his thumb rubbed the back of your hand and you broke down completely.
sobs wrecked through your body and you could no longer hide them from him. hot tears ran down your cheeksâmore tears than you felt like youâve ever cried in your entire life. you completely unraveled. you could tell that jake wanted to turn around and comfort youâyou felt the turn of his head as he tried to look at you and the twitch of his fingersâbut he wanted it to be on your terms. that just made you cry even more.
youâve cried so much today that you were sick of crying forever.
it was shocking that even for a second you thought differently. jake was the one for you. it was always going to be jake, no matter the up and downs the two of you went through. it was never going to be anybody but him. you burned for him like you didnât for no other.
finally, you managed to get yourself together enough to speak. half coherent apologies fell from your lips. âi-iâm sorry,â you finally managed. âiâm so sorry. i⌠i ruined everything andââ jake shushed you and you felt him shake his head.
you continued anyway, âi was acting like⌠likeâŚâ you just couldnât find the right words.
jake shushed you again, this time turning to face you. you turned too, blistering tears still falling from your eyes. jake shook his head and cupped your wet cheeks with his hands, using the pad of his thumbs to wipe them away. you stared at him again for the first time in so long, still not quite believing that he was in front of you again.
you both seemed to be worse for wear. there were dark circles under jakeâs eyes and they were red-rimmed like he had cried recently. still, he looked at you with that certain look in his eyes that he always had, and you were finally able to put a name to itâlove.
âyou didnât do anything wrong,â jake said softly, but firmly. ânothing at all. if anyone is sorry, itâs me. you donât know how sorry i am for making you think that i was dragging you along and toying with your feelings. i would never do that to you.â
your brows knitted together. you didnât understand how he was so forgiving of you. you shook your head, âyou deserve better than me.â
jake just chuckled. âi donât want anybody but you.â
jake rested his forehead against yours before pulling you closer to him. you rested your head against his chest, hearing the soft thumps of his heartbeat, as you wrapped your arms around him. jake held you tightlyâlike if he let you go you would completely disappear.
slowly, you felt yourself begin to drift, the taxing emotions of the day finally catching up with you. you gripped the back of jakeâs pajama shirt, scared that once you fell asleep you would wake up and he would be gone and this was just all one big dream. but the more you tried to say awake, the further your eyelids drooped.
âcome here,â jake whispered, moving into a lying position. you cuddled up into his side, your head on his chest. jake rested his chin on your head. âsleep,â he said. âiâm not going anywhere.â
it didnât take you long to drift into darkness, the sound of jakeâs heartbeat aiding you. still, you grabbed onto him like your life depended on it the entire wayâeven after jake had covered the two of you with your blanket.
in the morning, jake awoke to you still tucked into his side and to the creek of your bedroom door opening. jungwon poked his head inside, a worried look on his face, before nearly jumping ten feet in the air after seeing jake.
jake held a finger to his lips, silently telling jungwon to keep quiet since you were still sleeping. with wide eyes, jungwon nodded. slowly, he shut the door and left the two of you alone.
looking down at you, jake made sure that you were still sleeping and was relieved to find that you still were. the sun peeked through your closed blinds, lighting up your room ever so slightly. jake held you closer to him and softly cradled your face with his hand, careful to not wake you. you stirred, but only to move closer to him, making jake smile.
later, you stirred again. this time jake knew you were waking up since your grip on his shirt suddenly tightened again as you stiffened. jake rubbed circled onto your back before pressing a kiss to the top of your head, the actions visibly relaxing you.
your eyes cracked open, adjusted to the change in brightness, and looked up at him before you buried your face back into jakeâs chest. jakeâs smile grew and you felt the vibrations of his laugh. âgood morning, pretty,â jake said.
the cold autumn weather was only getting colder, but that didnât stop you and jake from going to your spot.
you were giggling as jake wrapped his scarf around you, purposefully covering more of your face than he needed. he then pulled the scarf down to chastely kiss your lips, returning the scarf back to its former position of covering your face. you giggled more, âyou gonna get sick!â
âall that matters to me is that my girlfriend doesnât get sick,â jake replied.Â
you pulled him closer to you by his jacket and pressed your lips against his. the two of you moved your lips in sync before you pulled away, serious. there was something that youâve been meaning to tell him since youâve got here, and you felt that now was finally the time.
almost nervously, you said, âi love you, jake.â
jake stared at you for a second with wide eyes, like he thought he didnât quite hear you clearly. when you smiled nervously at him is when it finally clicked for him. jakeâs whole face lit up and he kissed you so passionately that the two of you almost fell over. âi love you,â he said before kissing you again.
you pulled away for air, giggling at his reaction. he started kissing you all over your face and you pushed him away, laughing more. âjake!â you exclaimed. he pressed a couple more kisses to your cheeks before kissing your lips again. âwhat?â he asked innocently, âi was just warming you up.â
you rolled your eyes and stood to your feet. you pulled him to his feet as well and the two of you dusted off sand from your clothes. âwell, we should probably move away from the sea,â you smiled at him. your face then lit up.
there was still one more thing on your shared bucket list that you and jake still didnât do. you completely forgot about the bucket list in general with everything that happened. âthe abandoned skate park!â you exclaimed. âwe still havenât added our names to it!â
jake intertwined your gloved hand with his. he looked at you with eyes full of love. âletâs go then!â he smiled at you, kissing your cold cheeks. you scrunched your nose at him before dragging him out of your spot and towards the skate park.
on the way there, the two of you bought a disposable camera and a can of spray paint in your favorite colorâat jakeâs adamance. the two of you seeked out a good place to add your names for a while before finally finding the perfect spot.
âokay, go!â jake said, aiming his phone towards you. you turned and sprayed ây/n + jake = foreverâ into the spot the two of you had picked out before running back to where jake stood. the two of you switchedâyou taking the phone to record and him the spray can. jake then ran over and sprayed a wonky heart around your names, causing you to laugh.
jake looked back at you and laughed. âi told you you shouldâve done the heart!â
you came up to him and he wrapped his arms around you as you got the two of you and your names in the camera viewâkissing him briefly with an adoring smileâbefore ending the recording all together. jake then pulled the disposable camera out of his jacket pocket and snapped a picture of it and then of the two of you next to it. âto more memories!â he said.
after, jake turned to you. âdo you remember what happened here?â he asked you. you nodded, âof course i do! this is where we had our first kiss!â jake smiled at you, kissing you like he did so long ago again, completely setting you alight and making your heart race even after all of this time.
âsay it again,â jake said, his forehead against yours. you smiled. âi love you,â you replied.
you could practically feel the smile on jakeâs face grow larger. âagain,â he said. you giggled at him and the way he pulled you closer to his chest. âi love you, jake.â
âi love you, too.â jake kissed you again.Â
you felt as if your world was back on track now, no longer was the axis all out of place. you were here in jakeâs arms where you belonged, his lips against yours as the two of you giggled at each other. you would never love anyone like you love jake. âi love you more,â you finally replied to him.
jake shook his head at you. âimpossible,â he laughed. ânobody can love anyone as much as i love you.â

(yandere! bully victim x gn! bully reader) (cw: erm... yandere stuff, body horror or whatever its called idk bruh, he kinda carves his name into ur skin but its not mentioned in detail)
"how does it feel to be on the receiving end now, huh?"
you shiver, letting out a strained sound as you trash on the table.
"pluh- mn!"
"what was that? you've got to be clearer with your words, my dear. how do you expect me to understand muffles?"
the male hums, his cold hands dancing across your body. you could only shiver yet again, unable to do anything but remain binded to the table.
"oh, sorry, i forgot you couldn't speak. haha, how silly of me."
yeah, how silly of him to completely gag you so you couldn't speak. how completely silly of him to tie you to some cold table, restraining all your movements so that you couldn't fight back against him. how absolutely whimsical for him to be recording all your grunts, groans, and whines while you were completely restrained.
well, you suppose it's a bit ironic. considering that you were the one doing it to him when the both of you were younger. albeit not on this level.
you wonder if this was how he felt. vulnerable, naked, defenseless.
it happened so long ago, but the wounds you inflicted on him were still fresh. no matter how hard you try apologizing, his scars still bleed warm.
you shouldn't have been mean to him. you really shouldn't. especially when he was so much nicer back then.
"mn... you have no idea how much I've wanted to do this. it really makes me happy to see you so..."
he pauses, eyes raking over your form that was tied down to his table.
"so weak."
we've all watched the movies where the bully gets put in place and completely punished. you used to laugh at those films. i mean, how could the bully even be so stupid to get karma for their actions? couldn't they have hid better? tried making up for it? why did they have to go through the consequences of their actions? what idiots!
but now that it's happening to you, you wish you hadn't said those words.
the second you found out that your ex-victim was your boss, you couldn't even as much as utter a word. no, you felt like you were about to have a mental breakdown. especially because you were now his secretary, working for him.
"come on, what happened to that big, scary, and mean ol' bully that i knew? the one that used to pour water over my head and have their friends restrain me?"
his words have a hunt of condescension- no, they were fully condescending. he was mocking you right now. mocking you for your stupidity, mocking you for your actions. and he was absolutely taking pleasure in seeing you in such a weak and reduced state. a shell of the person you once were.
you couldn't do anything but to take it like the loser you were.
"haha, look at you. all tied down and gagged like the dog you are. why don't you bark for me? maybe I'll be nicer if you act like a stupid bitch in heat."
he laughs, hands resting on your clothed abdomen. his hair falls over his eyes, the usual up kept man looking like a mess as he continues to taunt you.
"you know, when i confessed to liking you, i never expected you to bully me. seriously. i thought you'd be like, I don't know, nice about it. if you were nice I don't think I'd have stalked you and do all this. would've courted you normally until you accepted. I'm a patient guy after all."
the words that come out of his mouth have just the tiniest bit of sadness in them. however, it's completely squashed down by the sharp look in his eyes.
"had i known you'd be such an ass about it... I'd have just taken you for myself right there and then. who cares about having a normal relationship, right? as long as you're with me, it's all that matters."
right, like what he was doing right now. ever since you started working for him he's been constantly... acting like he was your boyfriend rather than your boss. constantly giving you gifts, telling you that it was okay that you bullied him because he knows you're just shy and that he'll make things right... the worst part was when he forbid you from interacting with others.
it was fucking creepy.
things were only worsened when he found you on a night out at a bar, flirting with some random stranger. you had wanted to let loose and relieve some stress but it looks like karma loved to see you suffer.
"what are you doing? are you cheating on me?"
what the fuck?! you stare at your boss in horror, freezing in place. quickly turning back to the stranger you were flirting with, you shake your head and apologize, explaining that your boss was just a little weird. why the hell is he even here?!
"look, I'm sorry but he's a bit of a creep and-"
"my darling, i think it's time we go back home. you've had one too many drinks."
that experience was only the start of an even worser time. one that led him to declare to the whole damn world that you were now his in a fit of anger and mania. i mean, he practically has you locked in his house now. and it wasn't even illegal since you agreed to come.
he had called you to sort out some paperwork or whatever and you being his secretary... you couldn't refuse even if you wanted to. so you made your way to his house, all naive and ignorant of what was to come the second he opened those doors to that luxurious mansion of his.
you passed out and the next thing you knew, you were restrained to the table, gagged and staring at him with a half lidded look in your eyes.
god damn it, you should've known better than to believe this crazy guy's words. why would you willingly go to his place where there'd be no one but you two? ugh, stupid, stupid, stupid.
and now you could only express how terrified you were with your eyes and shivering body.
"how cute. how seriously cute. I've always wanted to see you look at me with that expression."
he coos, lips stretched into a smirk as he leans down to your face. his breath hits your skin, cold hands trailing up your chest and to your jaw before he grips hard.
"you're mine. it wasn't clear when i was just a boy but you've always been mine. since the day i let you bullied me, and even right now, I've made it clear. you're mine, and always will be mine."
he's right, you've always been his. why else would this rich and obviously powerful guy just let you bully him? he could've had you gone the second you made a move on him but instead...
"i still remember the slaps and bruises you left on me. ah... you were so cute back then. hitting me like that. should've scarred me too, maybe then I'd see your horrified face whenever i flashed it."
a sadist. you're sure that he's some sort of sadistic masochist.
"oh well, it's no matter. I've done that job for you."
he pulls away, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his bare upper body to you. to say that you were completely terrified would be an understatement. because why the hell was your first name (and his last name btw) painfully carved into his other flawless skin? right above his heart, no less!
"isn't it beautiful? you're forever with me now."
his words send a chill down your body. what the hell, you don't want to be with him at all! and it looks like he sensed that but chose to ignore your feelings.
your boss smiles at you before pulling out a small blade from his pants.
oh hell nah.
"it's your turn, darling."
no no no, you don't like where this is going. your body trashes violently against the cold hard table he had you strapped in, pupils blown wide as adrenaline fills your veins.
"mgh! mf!"
"hey hey, quiet down. it's only fair that i get to do it to you, right? consider this my payback. you had your fun and now I'm having mine."
no! shit shit shit, what are you supposed to do?!
you try shaking your head, sweat forming on your skin as your breath grows laboured. your body continues to trash against the bindings, but it looks like the bindings were done just a little too well.
"hm... should i do it somewhere visible? or maybe... right where your heart would be?"
you shake violently, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes.
"nh! mh!"
"aw, is my little darling about to cry? that's so cute. go on, cry for me. cry for me just like i cried for you."
tears fall down your cheeks as he trails the vlade over your clothes. the sharpness of the item has you shivering, cold dread creeping up your spine at the very thought of that anywhere on your skin.
"hm... since you look so scared, I'll carve my initials instead of my full name. how about that? a good offer if i say so myself."
if you could speak, you'd be cursing and begging him to stop. unfortunately that wasn't the case and your boss took your lack of words as the green light.
"don't worry, I'll kiss your pain away afterwards. it'll be over before you know it."
oh god damn it, you really should've just politely rejected him when he confessed.

Can I request headcanons for Zayne, and Slyus react to his shy gn crush giving him a love letter before leaving quickly?
You were quick with your exist, Sylus had to give you that as the moment he looked up from the letter, only to see that you were long gone.
Naturally he wouldâve caught you by the wrist and kept you close until after he had read the letter. However since that wasnât how the events played out, Sylus walked back to his room to read the letter, fully intending to ask you the next time he sees you what this was all about, all the while lightly scolding you for running away.
He even made Mephisto leave the room for full privacy, the crow was offended by this not going to lie and instead made himself comfortable on the nearest perch he could find.
Sylus wasnât dumb, your expression gave it all away what type of letter this was and he couldnât help but smirk when he read your sweet words, chuckling as he felt your emotions through every sentence he read and how many words you had scribbled out in your attempt of making a confession to him.
While he wouldâve preferred to have you confess to him in person, he couldnât hold it against you that you felt overwhelmed and too afraid to do so and speak your heart to him, but that was okay when you had written your heart to him on a piece of paper instead that made him smile as warmth spread throughout his chest.
You were so cute when you poured your heart out into the letter and Sylus knew he would be keeping this as his own personal memento of the time where your relationship changed. Needless to say after reading the letter you got a greeting by Sylus later that same evening as he made himself comfortable in your apartment, eager to start your relationship as soon as he could by making you a dinner for two.
He casts his gaze down at the letter you hastily shoved into his hand, giving him no room to ask what the contents of the letter was before bolting off down the hallway with a flustered expression upon your face.
Zayne tilts his head to the side as he then takes the letter into his office, not wanting anyone to peer over his shoulder and read the words that you had specifically wrote for him and him alone.
He knew of your nervousness and tendency to tell him personal things through the likes of cute letters, but this was a completely different level of that as he got an insight to your thoughts and feelings towards him that you couldnât put into words. It was highly detailed with moments where you realised that you like Zayne more then âjust a friendâ
He found it sweet and warming as he too would reminisce on the moments that you bring up and suddenly everything becomes clearer for Zayne. The moments where it seemed like you were more sheepish and unable to meet his eyes, all of it made all the more sense to him now as you gave clarification to why you acted those ways back then.
You adored him and yet you couldnât find a more fitting way to tell him than a letter that resides within his hands.
It felt good for Zayne to know that his feelings wasnât one sided and that you felt similar to him. It was all he could ever wish for even though he tried not to fall for you, only to find it increasingly difficult when you were practically a big part of his day to day life, and he couldnât help but feel as though a weight had been taken off of his chest knowing that he didnât have to hold back his feeling anymore and finally get to do what he always wanted.
He has a reservation booked at a fancy restaurant to you both, but is more than willing to cancel it to just walk through the city with you should that be more your speed, or maybe even some quality time at home with some take out. Zayne didnât want you to become overwhelmed and would much preferable to have you at your most comfortable when youâre both talking about your future relationship.

Tear In My Heart
Aemond never cared for tourneys, for hunts, nor for any sort of pageantry; he supposed marriage fell in that category. To be frank, he never cared for you either, but then he heard whispers about you and his brother, and then thought, maybe he somehow did.
Aemond Targaryen x Baratheon!Reader x Aegon Targaryen | 2k+ | cw: fem!reader, reader has baratheon feature (dark hair), wife!reader, arranged marriage, jealousy, possessiveness, infidelity, men being men, angst, violence/hunting for sport/death, typos, etc.
A/N: mind the tags! This is part of my graduation celebration đŠˇđŠˇđŠˇđŠˇ slayed college. Let's pretend I posted this on schedule lmao. The hotd trailers really brought me to life. Part of this fic is inspired by the 2014 french beauty and the beast film.
Tagging: @pinksirensong @aralezinspace @delicious-xx @deniixlovezelda @targaryenmoony @risefallrise @slavyanskiyahui @thebullship @sa3losa @lxdyred
Brother.
What was he?
The word was a stone, heavy but worthless. Nothing ever came from a brother besides bluntness, brashness, and bludgeoning burdens.
No kindness befell Aemond from his brother Aegon. Likewise, Aegon long knew to expect nothing but vexation from Aemond.
Yet even the most broken of bonds are bound back under the great unifierâ Death.
Never before had the brothers worked towards a common goal so fast, so easily, and all without needing to utter a word. Together, they carry their game back to their camp, equally ignoring the burn of their arms.
Aemond loathed hunting expeditions. He loathed it then, he wholeheartedly abhorred it now. He regrets forcing himself into this godforsaken trip. He should have let you go on it alone, like always.
He regrets letting his slimy older brother getting under his skin. He regrets listening to all the rumors about Aegon and you. But in his defenseâ
"I MAY BE BLIND IN ONE EYE," Aemond snaps, causing you to flinch. He had never raised his voice at you like this before. He despises how shocked you look, how your bright eyes accused that he was wrong. It makes him fume, "but I see clearer than most."
Aemond is further irritated when your eyes began to water.
You, who was otherwise so well-kept and pristine, were falling apart in front of him. The wayward strands of dark hair framing your face irked him. The momentary thought of his children inheriting this trait added fuel to his anger. If, that is, whatever child you'd bear was even his to begin with.
"You are whoring yourself to my bovine brother!"
Your chest heaves heavily beneath your nightgown, "you would happily believe any slander to my name."
He scoffs when tears begin to fall from your cheeks. He paces towards the bed, unbothered if the issue is left unresolved. He'd rather sleep than watch you sob. The latter left a rather bitter taste in his mouth.
"What have I been but docile and serving?"
"Serving?" Aemond turns back, one eye narrowed, "to whom? Your greed and lust?"
"TO YOU!"
Aemond slightly pulls his head back, not expecting you to scream. He watches a spirit take over you. It was similar to that of the one that sometimes causes him to stare at you from across the room.
You suck in a breath, "do you not complain about Aegon day in and day out?" You blink rapidly and point harshly, "do you not wish him away and want him out of your hair, husband?"
"Don't you twist the truth for your-"
"I played his keeper so that you wouldn't have to," you motion, "I kept him in check so that you could do your errands, help your grandfather, go on your dragon rides, and yet you say you see clearer than most?"
"I saw you," he hisses, grabbing your shoulders.
You gasp and go rigid.
"I saw you embrace him in the cloak of night, in the corner of the gardens, where you thought no one could see."
You catch betrayal in his words, but it only causes you to chuckle dryly, "had you not lurked in the darkness, you'd have known he vomited on my shoulder and nearly passed out. Perhaps you would have felt compelled to help me drag him to his chambers."
Aemond clenches his jaw. He does not believe you.
You swat his hands away. You shake your head, "you're just a man. You're bored of what you have and want what you cannot."
"Ha. You are delusional if you think I want you."
You cannot help the sound that leaves your lips. You cannot help how you slap a hand to your mouth.
In that split second, Aemond spots the hurt on your face before you walk past him to your side of the bed.
You pull the covers down, "worry not. I've long accepted you will never want me."
"Oh," he growls, grabbing your arm before you can sit down, "and is that why you turn to my brother? Or why you leap at every chance to leave?'"
You wince as you turn to him.
"Now that I think about it, why is it you're invited to hunting expeditions so often?" Aemond demands under an angered breath, "d'you seek refuge in the-"
"I RUN INTO THE FOREST!" you hiss, shoving him away. His grip left a sting on your flesh and you rub it as you continue to burstp, "I run into the forest and let my instincts take over! I let myself shift into a beast and I run wild like a deer, begging to be shot down."
Aemond expression sours at your reaction.
"I live my curse as a Baratheon woman and morph into a doe, bullied by stags and dragons alike," you shudder, tears running down your face.
"Don't you play the victim here," he rebuts, "your family offered you to mine for power."
"Then why is it that I am so powerless, husband?"
Aemond doesn't bother watching you walk away, slamming the door shut on your way out.
Aggravation spills from his mouth through screams when silence drowns him. There is an ache in his chest that intensifies. It doesn't take long for him to question why he felt so hurt when what he was is angry, angry at you.
He then finds himself imagining you throwing yourself at Aegon, weeping on his lap. He imagines Aegon brushing your dark tresses back and drying your tears. It infuriates him more.
And as he convinced himself whilst in fumes that the reason why he hated your leave was how rudely you left, parts of his nightmares where coming true.
Aegon saw you storming down the hall in nothing but a nightgown, a cloak, and tears. He was too drunk to actually ascertain if you had no shoes on, but he was partially sure that there were truly tears running down your neck.
He was shocked by how shocked you were when he grabbed you by the arms and stopped you in your tracks. He knew you to have eyes that could spot a needle in a haystack, or real jewels from fake ones ten paces away. How could you not have noticed him when he wasn't even trying to hide how he staggered down the halls on his way back to his room?
"Spooked, kitty cat?" Aegon furrows his brows.
Your skin definitely had a damp sheen to it. Your gaze upon him somehow always hurt his thorax but it was amplified now with how puffy and red your eyes were.
"Where 'r'you storming off to?" he slurs.
You push him away, but even then you managed to offer consideration, as it was clear he was one shove away from dropping. You say, "unhand me, Aegon. I have no time for you tonight."
He pouts, blinking slowly, "and here I thought we were friends now."
You laugh. Your laugh has always had the power to make his spine tingle, but it was different this time. You shake your head, "the enemy of my enemy is not my friend."
Aegon slowly releases you. He clenches his jaw and sighs, "so it's Aemond who did this."
You scoff as you break away from him, "oh, spare me."
He watches you walk away from him. He feels hurt by your coldness. How quickly Aemond reaps your warmth. He calls out, "from what?"
You stop and snap from over your shoulder, "from whatever it is you think you can do!"
He was sober now, and his throat was dry at that.
"My burden is mine. I am his wife."
"And am to be king," he whispers, taking a step forward. He watches as you heave. He's long wondered what it would feel like to hear it as you did so beneath him.
"But you are not king," you reply, stepping back to maintain the space between you, "and you have your sister wife."
"Who would deny me?" he peers his face closer to you, "even a fool would deny me nothing."
"I would," you rebut.
He freezes.
"I am prize to you," you muffle out. Your manage an even voice even as hurt baptizes your cheeks, "meat between your teeth. You and him are cut from the same cloth."
"I AM NOT MY BROTHER, " Aegon snaps.
You flinch, just as you did Aegon. You shake your head and force a smile, "of course not, your grace."
The next moment, Aegon realizes he may not have been as sober as he thought, considering how quickly you fled him and how delayed his reaction to it was.
But then again, it was probably just you and your effect on him. After all, he managed to evade the incoming attack from behind, albeit momentarily; Aemond's senses were far shaper than Aegon's.
He grabs his older brother by the collar and shoves him against the wall. "All my life, I watched you be spoon-fed your desires, yet still you covet my bride," the younger Targaryen rages.
Aegon grins in challenge. He chuckles, "as it appears, you covet your own wife from me, brother."
Without warning, the first born is hurtled to the ground. He lets out an undignified grunt after he collides with the stone. He gasps when Aemond lunges at him.
It was only at this moment, he realized his brother without his eye patch. Dare he say that the sight of the sapphire added to the madness in is functioning eye.
Aemond produces a dagger and presses it to Aegon's neck. The former seethes, "I have every right to demand satisfaction from you."
Aegon groans when the cold steel kisses his skin too tenderly.
"You wouldn't last a second against me," the prince spits with venom, "brother."
"Do it then," Aegon screws his eyes shut, "and watch your marriage crumble before your very eyes."
Aemond throws his dagger to the side and slams Aegon once, "DO NOT TRY TO TRICK ME! I saw her reel from your touch."
"Oh," he utters through pain, "just as she reels from you, I bet."
Aemond releases him with a growl and heaves while looking down at him. He paces around; Aegon props himself up on his elbows, slowly coming to a stand.
Before Aegon can goad him on any further, Aemond grabs his dagger and pushes past him.
Both of them anxiously await your return that night. Aegon falls asleep whilst waiting for word from a servant, Aemond fights sleep whilst waiting for you to return to bed.
Yes, in Aemond's defense, the rumors about you and his brother was enough reason to pick a fight. In his defense, it was his right.
And for the first time, when you received invite for that hunting expedition with your cousin, no longer did he send you off on your own. He was keen to keep you at his side at all times, especially because Aegon weaseled his way into joining.
Aemond did not know why your cousin was so against the idea of hunting a stag. He was, in fact, offended by the Baratheon's adamant decline. The lesser lord dared even imply such a beast was beyond his caliber. He wasn't surprised you sided with your him, imploring Aemond to try his hand another season. What spurred him on was how Aegon agreed with you and how you looked at him when he smiled your way.
Yet, the spite he bore for his brother was the same thing that led to cooperation with him.
That night, when you thought he was sleeping, Aemond followed you outside. When you were nowhere to be seen when he got out of your shared tent, he stormed to his brother's, sure to catch you in the act.
All he got was a startled brother, cuddling up to a pillow when he ripped his blanket off, a naked one at that.
And after a bit of arguing, Aemond saw a shadow of a deer passing outside the tent. That was how the brothers ended up in the forest. Aemond was intent to hunt that stag and Aegon was intent to watch him fail.
Again, in his defense, it was dark. In his defense, of course he wouldn't believe Aegon when he said that they were stalking a doe and not a stag.
Aemond was satisfied with his shot when he heard the beast cry out in pain. Aegon was satisfied when they found the writhing deer to be, in fact a doe.
It was common knowledge not to hunt the female of a species, yet the two debated whether or not they should let the injured animal go free or put it out of its misery. They thought they received the answer when the animal dropped in agony, but instead they received horror that would last them lifetimes upon witnessing the beast morph into a bride.
Your bare body laid before them, stomach pierced with an arrow. No traces of a doe was left, there was only pain and you. Tremors took over your body. Yolur tears flowed as steady as the blood from your gaping wound.
Aemond fell to your side, eye wide as he reached out to you. He thought a touch of your trembling flesh wake him from this nightmare, but it didn't. His mind raced, but he had a moment of clarity when he felt your blood dampen his knees.
He took off his shirt and covered you. You screamed in pain when he tried to carry you by himself, and he glared at his brother when he tried to help.
Aemond does not stop him however, thus, the brothers carried your body back to camp.
When you were laid on your shared bed, Aemond ordered Aegon to wake everyone and ready a carriage back to the city. His brother runs off to do just that.
"This will hurt," Aemond tells you, "but I must cut part of the arrow and bind your wound."
Before he can do so, you wet his face with the blood on your hand as you whine, "why do you weep for me?"
Aemond's brows furrow.
You swipe your thumb on his cheek with great difficulty. "Soon you will have the freedom you desire," you mumble, eyes slowly closing, "as will I."
The pain that courses through you when your husband breaks off part of your arrow prevents you from passing out.
As an extra precaution, Aemond taps your cheek, "keep your eyes fixed on me."
Your sad eyes open. Your tears gush down like rain.
"Is this why you're invited to hunt so often?" he cups your cheek, shaking you slightly, "does your cousin, himself, turn into a stag?"
Your reply does not come easy. You speak between your breaths, "it is a curse from my father... for hunting so many of them..."
There is commotion from outside your tent.
Aemond has the mind to grab some fabric to press on your wound. You cry out again because of this.
"Why didn't you tell me of your affliction?" he speak in panic.
Stabbing pain cuts off the laugh you meant to laugh. Your breath shortens, yet you manage a response, "would you have listened?"
He must admit, all the prayers he ever prayed were only uttered to please his mother, but as Aemond held half your body in the carriage back to King's Landing, as he watched Aegon's tears fall onto you while he held your other half, he prayed as earnestly as any pious man would. He claimed he would be better, he would even share you, if that is what it took to keep you.
And just as easily as Death unified the Targaryen brothers, she collected your soul the same night.

A/N: this req was really fun to write! I might have gotten a bit carried away, heh...this part includes the backstory of how you two got together and the first part of the req, and the second part will include the rest of it. hope you guys enjoy reading this cause I definitely put some hard work into it lol. also please give me feedback and suggestions, I'd really like to know your thoughts!
If you could go back, would you change what happened?
This is something that you often ask yourself.Â
You think about that fateful day frequently. It was the summer before your first year at Merlin Academy. You had finally convinced your parents, the famed mermaid Ariel and her Prince Eric, to let you go for a swim unsupervised. Being half-mermaid, half-human allowed you to transform back and forth at will. And although life on land was pretty good, your heart always ached to go back to the sea, to feel the cold, salty water as it engulfs you. To race along the reefs, tail swishing back and forth, allowing you to reach speeds far past what your human form can do. To leisurely swim amongst the many species of fish and plants that created the world of the ocean. To go back home.
Your parents had already gone over the rules with you hundreds of time, to the point where you could recite each one of them word for word: âDonât go past the boundaries,â âDonât approach any animals you donât know,â âDonât go so deep where you canât see any light,â âCome out at the first sign of bad weather,â and, most importantly, âDo not, under any circumstances, interact with any humans.â
Your mother may be renowned for rescuing a stranger from the unrelenting grasps of the seaâif she hadnât, you wouldnât even be here right nowâbut that was a very rare case. Far more often than not, mermaid interactions with humans out on the waters ended up in the mermaid being tortured, held hostage, or even killed.
You knew the rules by heart, and yet, maybe it was because of your young age, you still broke them. You werenât really aware of your actions in the moment; one second, you were swimming alongside a pod of dolphins, racing against the currents. The next, you heard loud voices and realized that almost directly above you, yet still a good few dozen meters away, was some sort of ship.
You had ducked down next to a big sponge, peering up apprehensively. It was at that moment you realized that you were far outside of the boundaries set for you by your parents. You should have turned back, should have swam back home, but there was something about the ship, something that intrigued you so much it forced you to stay in place.
A few moments passed, and seeing as there was no commotion, you let your curiosity get the better of you. After all, that ship shouldnât even have been out there. Slowly, you crept closer and closer to the surface, making sure to remain in the shadows. The noises were becoming clearer; you could make out peopleâs voices now. But they still werenât sharp enough for you to understand what they were saying.
Finally, you took the risk and poked your head out of the water near the rear of the ship. The sight before you elicited a sharp gasp, and made you wish you had just gone back when you still had the chance.Â
Extended from the side of the ship was a long, wooden plank. Standing on one side of it (the safe end), was a man, gagged, blindfolded, and bound. He looked to be no older than forty, with a scraggly beard and ripped clothes.
A pirate.
Another figure emerged, walking to the edge of the deck. Your reflexes caused you to duck down quickly, so only your eyes were barely above the water. This figure was much younger, with dark brown hair parted neatly and angular features twisted into a wicked smile. He donned a maroon blazer that covered a white shirt with an upturned collar. Something in his left hand shined brilliantly under the sunâs bright rays.
The younger figure laughed, but not in the way one would laugh at a funny joke. He unsheathed a cutlass from his side, using it to poke the back of the man on the plank.Â
âYou see, Mr. Jones? This is what happens when you cross the most feared pirate captain in all the lands!â the young figure roared as he yanked off the older manâs blindfold, revealing to him his fate. The fear and panic that spread across the man���s face has been forever etched into your mind, even to this day.
You heard the man beg and plea for mercy, watched as every move he made caused the plank to sway even more violently. The pirate captain simply laughed, his crew along with him. Finally, when you suppose he tired of hearing the man grovel, you watched in terror as the captain gave the man a good kick in the back, finally sending him over the edge.
Suddenly, it was like the world was spinning in slow motion. The man plummeting off the wooden platform, falling, falling, falling. His screams muffled by the cloth around his mouth. Then, all too soon, he made contact with the water with a loud splash.Â
He sank quickly, devoured by the oceanâs waters within the blink of an eye. Your young, distraught face watched as a few bubbles rose to the surface. Then nothing. All that remained of the manâs existence, all there was to give proof that he had ever even been there, were a few ripples in the water.
That was it.
You were frozen in shock. Howâwhatâwhy? Your brain could barely string together a comprehensive sentence. All you were sure of was the feeling inside you. You couldnât quite put it into words, could barely even understand it. But it made your tail ache to move, made you feel as if you simply couldnât stay in one place any longer.
You dove beneath the surface, frantically swimming towards the direction where you saw the man go under. You kept looking around, searching, but to no avail. You decided to dive deeper, swimming lower and lower until the water around you was near pitch-black. You were growing more and more panicked by the second, because every second you wasted was another second the man grew closer to death.
Finally, you caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of your eye. Hope flaring, you darted towards it, the figure becoming clearer the closer you got.
It was him.
You reached out and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt to prevent him from sinking farther. His eyes were shut and he wasnât breathing, but you could still hear a heartbeat. There was still time left.
Wrapping your arms around him, you started the difficult journey back to land. Thankfully, you knew of a small island not too far from here. Swimming with the added weight of a fully grown man was incredibly difficult, especially for a young mermaid, but you persisted. After all, this was his life on the line.
You swam as hard as fast as you could, and thankfully, by some blessing from the heavens, found a warm water current going the direction you were. You let it carry you, the rushing stream multiplying your efforts. Finally, after what seemed like hours but must have only been a couple of minutes, you reached the island.
Letting the wave wash you up on shore, you settled the man down on the soft sand the first chance you got. You rolled him to his front, which was quite the endeavor itself. His heartbeat had grown more shallow, but it was still there. There was still hope.
Using the skills your mother had taught you, you started to nurse the man back to health using your melodic voice. Ever since you were young, she had explained to you the gift bestowed upon mermaids, the power of healing through song. She taught you to sing before you could walk, and it was the one thing that you were sure you could do right.
As you sang your strange and melodious tune, it finally occurred to you that you were breaking the most sacred of rules. Not only were you interacting with a stranger, you were coaxing him back to life. Like mother, like daughter, you thought. I suppose healing strangers who were drowning at sea runs in my blood.
The only caveat to your healing powers is that it takes quite some time to have its full effects. You donât know how long you sat on the beach, but it had been quite some time. You probably would have been there for much longer had it not been for the boom voice that sounded behind you, waking you from your trance of song.
âWell, Iâll be. If it isnât a mermaid.â
You practically jumped out of your fins as you turned around, startled beyond words. There, towering above you, was the evil pirate captain you saw earlier. He was even younger than you had previously thought. In fact, he couldnât be much older than you. You wondered for a fleeting moment how a kid like that could command an entire ship full of grownâand scary-lookingâmen, but decided you have bigger matters at hand to worry about.
A few members of his crew lurked behind the captain, and you could see a small lifeboat docked to the ground near the coastline. Further beyond that, his ship swayed in the ocean waves, dark against the bright horizon.
You followed the pirateâs gaze down to your tail, which was still out. You silently cursed yourself for forgetting to transform back into your human form, being too distracted by saving the man to pay attention to your own safety.
You wanted to yell at the cruel pirate for trying to kill this man. No matter who he was, what he had done, he didnât deserve to die. At least not like that. But the words got caught in your throat, so while a war raged inside your mind, you were completely quiet on the outside, simply staring up at the man with wide doe eyes.
âYou have a lovely voice,â the man said, with a tone that you wouldnât quite imagine a killer using. He must have overheard me sing earlier, you thought to yourself. âTell me, little mermaid, who taught you to sing?â
âM-my mother,â you replied weakly, your voice far more meager and small than you wanted it to be. You were still staring up at him, afraid of what heâd do to you.
âYour mother? Well, thatâs quite interesting.â The captain raised his left hand to scratch at his chin, which is when you realized that it wasnât a hand at all. Instead of a hand was a curved metal hook, with a sharp point gleaming at the end. So that must be the shiny thing I saw earlier, you thought.
âOh, where are my manners?â laughed the pirate abruptly. âMy name is Captain James Hook, leader of the Jolly Roger. And you are?â
You blinked, almost forgetting your own name. If it were a less tense moment than this, you would have laughed at the fact that his name is rather befitting for him. âY/N,â you respond.
âY/NâŚNow, where have I heard that name before?â He tapped his chin with his hook again.
âSir, thatâs the name of Princess Arielâs daughter,â one of the big, meaty pirates behind him answered in a gruff voice.
âThatâs right!â Hook exclaimed. âYouâre the mermaidâs daughter. You know, rumor has it youâll be joining me at Merlinâs Academy in the fall, is that right?â
For some reason, your voice seemed to not work anymore, so you settled for nodding. Join him? you pondered. You didnât know that he was also a student at the school you were planning to attend.
Hook started pacing along the beach, arms crossed with his hooked hand extended, deep in thought. You watched him, fear growing by the second. A sly smirk spread across his face, which only served to fuel the flames of your worry.Â
âYou know, you directly defied my command by saving that man,â he started. Slowly. Deliberately. Choosing every word precisely and carefully, like a shark circling its prey. âDo you even know why I made him walk the plank?â You shook your head no, the panic in you reaching record heights.
âThat manââhe vaguely gestures towards the unconscious body laying on the beach with his hookââstole an entire weekâs worth of rations from my ship. An entire weekâs worth of food and rum for an entire crew. Had he gotten away with it, we likely would have starved to death out at sea. Does he seem so innocent now, little mermaid? So worth saving?â
Again, you shook your head no. Although you agreed he definitely wasnât an innocent man, you still didnât see making him walk the plank a justifiable punishment. Despite your thoughts, you kept your mouth shut. Angering the captain further was not going to do you any good.
âNow, if anyone else had done something like this, I wouldnât hesitate to cut their head right off,â Hook said menacingly, and with a swish, unsheathed his sword once again. You flinchedâhardâand scrambled to back away from him.Â
Hook took note of this, and, sheathing his sword, crouched down to get on the same level as you. âBut donât worry, little mermaid. I wonât hurt you. You see, youâve piqued my interest. Plus, it would do me no favors to have a little girlâs blood on my hands.â
You let out a breath you hadnât even realized you were holding. So heâs not going to kill me, right?
âBut, alas, you canât leave unpunished, now, can you?â he added. Your eyes grew impossibly wider, your entire body shaking in fear. This was it. He was going to kill you, or do something equally worse.
âI demandââyou already felt a tear slip down your cheekââthat you write to me for the remainder of the summer.â
Wait, what?
âW-write?â you asked in disbelief. âAs inâŚâ
âLetters,â Hook finished for you. âWrite me letters. Iâll give you the mailing address of the Jolly Roger. Write me everyday, and Iâll promise Iâll write you back whenever we dock. How does that sound?â
âO-okay,â you reply, still taken aback by the peculiar, and far more lenient than youâd expected, request. That was all you had to do? Write letters? As punishment for saving the life of someone heâd ordered to die? You must be dreaming.
âOh, and,â Hook said, voice lowered as he leaned in close to you, until he was just a hairâs breadth away from your ear. You could feel his warm breath on your skin, his alluring scent of salty winds and something richer, deeper, filling your lungs. âI look forward to seeing you in the fall. Donât forget me, my little mermaid.â
With that, he stood up, smoothing out the lines on his pants. âYou wouldnât happen to need a ride back home, would you, love?â
You shook your head no, too terrified of him changing his mind to spend another moment in his presence. You glanced back at the man lying behind you, still unconscious. âW-what about him? What will you do with him?â you managed to choke out, somehow finding your voice again.
Hook pondered this for a long minute, before finally answering, âHe can live.â You let out a shaky breath. âBut only because of you, little mermaid. And only this time. You go against my wishes again, and trust me, your punishment will be far more severe.â
And with that, he went back to his ship and sailed away.
You still muse about that day, thinking how different things would have been if you had changed just one little thing.
You kept your promise of writing him letters, too afraid to know what would happen when you had to inevitably face him in the fall to break it. At first, they started out simple. Ordinary recounts of your day, your favorite things, what you liked to do. As the weeks passed, you started writing more personal letters. How you felt about certain things or certain people, including your parents. You never spoke a word of that fateful day to them, knowing that youâd be grounded for life and forbidden from swimming ever again if they caught even a whiff of the danger you had put yourself in.Â
Hook kept his promise, too. He wrote you back, although it was far less frequent than your letters. Even though he kept his responses short and concise, you always ended up hearing his voice in your head as you read his notes. You soon found yourself checking your mailbox daily, even getting to know the mailman rather well. The rush of dopamine you got every time you opened it to find a letter awaiting you was unmatched; you would always run upstairs to your room, lock the door, and pour over the note. Reading every line, every word over and over again, committing them to memory.Â
You donât know why you enjoyed these little letters so much. Maybe it was the thrill of having a secret that no one else knew of, or the absence of your usual loneliness every time you were reminded that somewhere out there, across the seas, was someone awaiting your letters, reading them, and writing back to you. Whatever it was, your heart started to form an emotional attachment to him without you even realizing it.Â
Unbeknownst to you, that had been his exact plan all along.
Itâs safe to say that once you started school at Merlin Academy, Hookâsâor Jamesâs, as he insisted on you calling himâgrip on you only grew. Things started out pretty normal: light conversations in class and stolen looks exchanged across the hall, mostly initiated by him. After the first few weeks passed, things between you two only grew. Secret meetings during lunch hours, rendezvous after school, and small gifts exchanged between the two of you. From there, it became brushing your hands together whenever you passed by each other, soft pecks on the cheek or forehead where there were prying eyes, and more passionate kisses when the two of you finally found time to be alone.
Truth be told, you donât really know what you two are now. Normally, you would consider two people that partake in such actions to be courting, and you kind of assume you are. But James has never said anything about a relationship to you, and in all honesty, youâre too afraid to ask him. You feel terribly confused at his intentions towards you; on the one hand, he approaches you every day without fail, even if you try to ignore him or when your schedules donât match up. Somehow, he always finds a way. On the other hand, he never asked you to be his lover, never even vaguely mentioned anything of the sorts. So, you decided, with a heavy heart, to not be too confident and consider yourself his partner. And unfortunately, that meant that he wasnât yours, either.
Really, you never meant to grow so involved with the bastard pirate that threatened to kill you on the beach that day. But for some strange reason, instead of treating you coldly like he did everyone else, especially the other hero kids, he was softer with you. Considerate, even. You had half-expected him to want nothing to do with you after your first few interactions, but he kept seeking you out. You often opened your locker to a note inside, or entered your dorm to find a letter slipped beneath the door.
Today was one of those days. You had gotten a note telling you to wait for him in your usual place in the evening, after classes. So here you are, waiting, staring at the water fountain in the courtyard. Youâve always been transfixed by the way the water spurts out the center and splashes all around. It seems that whenever youâre alone with your thoughts, they always end up back to that fateful day you met James, and everything thatâs happened since.
âWait for me long, my little mermaid?â a deep voice whispers in your ear from behind. You jump only a little, far more used to James sneaking up on you now than you used to be. For some reason, it seems he loves to startle you by wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you in close from behind, or speaking softly in your ear.
You twirl around, a delighted expression on your face, although you try to mask it with a feigned annoyance. âAnd if I say I did?â
âWell then, Iâd have to find a way to make it up to you then, wouldnât I, darling?â he purrs, using his hook to spin you around in his arms so youâre face-to-face. His lips make his way to yours, pulling you in for a slow, sensual kiss. You wrap your arms around his neck, bringing his head closer to yours, not able to get enough of his touch.Â
The feeling of his skin against yours ignites something in you, and you find your mouth opening to give him more access as a soft whimper escapes your lips. One hand reaches into his hair, tugging at it gently from the base of his head, while the other one trails down the front of his shirt.
James leans into you even further, your bodies flush against each other now, as he deepens the kiss. You find yourself leaning against the edge of the water fountain, the cool sprinkles providing a welcomed contrast to your heating-up bodies.
Once youâve completely lost your breath, you pull away just slightly, a love-drunk smile on your face. âYou had a request for me?â you whisper, panting, eyes full of adoration for the man you were interlocked with.Â
James breaks into a grin. A genuine one, not one of the smirks he flashes to uphold his patented suave demeanor. âAh, yes, how could I forget, my love?â
He pulls further away to give you two enough room to breathe, yet keeping his good hand on the small of your back. âI was reminded today that it's been quite some time since Iâve heard your voice, my little mermaid.â
You give a little smile, deciding to mess with him a bit. âWhatever do you mean? You hear my voice every day. I mean, youâre even hearing it right now.â
James cocks his head to the side and raises a single eyebrow, clearly aware of your antics. âYour other voice, love.â
You giggle. âFine, all right. Only for you,â you say, giving him a peck on the nose.Â
You sit down on the ledge of the fountain, turning back to stare at the water again. Although it has been a long time since you stretched your tail and went for a swim, simply seeing the rushing water soothes you. It isnât quite like being immersed in it, but it still gives you some semblance of comfort.Â
You reach into the pool at the bottom, letting the cool water rush along your fingertips as you inhale a deep breath. Through your mermaid abilities, your voice twists into an otherworldly song, filling the space with a mellifluous sound.Â
James takes a place on the ledge next to you, reaching into the water to hold your submerged hand. You donât really feel it, too transfixed on the rushing waves. You donât see the way James gazes at you, like youâre his entire world. The softness, the tenderness in his eyes, which he reserves for you only. He looks at you not as if youâre his sun, something too bright to ever stare directly at, something violent and explosive and harmful, but as if youâre his moon.Â
As if youâre the figure he watches every night before he closes his eyes, and the one he wishes to see again when he wakes up. As if youâre the only thing he notices every time the darkness envelops him, your presence never falling off the pedestal he places it on in his mind. Never losing its worth. He looks at you, your soft glow and mesmerizing shimmer, as if youâre the only thing filling up the night sky. The stars and constellations pale in comparison to you, especially on your best nights, when you shine so magnificently.Â
You are the moon, and he is the tide of the ocean, constantly being pulled in by you. Never being able to escape the grasp you have on him, the grasp you are so blissfully unaware of. He stares at you in awe and wonder, bathing in your gorgeous light, so close yet always so far away. Sitting all alone against the dark backdrop of the evening sky, waiting for him to come back to you. And without reason, you always disappear. Always leaving him wanting more, waiting till the moment he can bathe in your presence again.Â
As you sing, the tide gets pulled in by the gravity of the moon. Your lyrical voice bounces off the stone walls, surrounding you both, just as the moonlight surrounds the waves on that mystical night.Â
But the moonlight is only a reflection of the sunâs glow, is it not? When daylight comes, the moon will pull away from the waves, its absence in the sky all but forgotten in the sunâs presence. And as dawn breaks, so too will the pull between the moon and ocean.Â

anyone else but you | x.minghao
pairing : idol!minghao x reader
WHAT ! - painting minghaos nails (reader likes doing nails),
warnings: petnames, kisses, established relationship, self indulgent
you sat in the living room practicing on the practice nail hand minghao had bought you when he found you wanted to start doing nails, while spotify was playing in the back. minghao walked out of your guy's shared room noticing you working. he leaned against the wall softly smiling at the sight
there was something so comforting about how your posture was horrible but the small light on the coffee table that was originally supposed to help you see the nails clearer emphasized the features on your face more as well as how your brows furrow and your lips softly pout out as a result of focusing.
feeling a gaze on you, you turn to look and see minghao propped against the wall, when he realizes he got caught he closes his eyes for a second and chuckles in embarrassment, but he knows he could only blame himself due to the fact he didn't try to hide it.
minghao walked over to where you were sitting looking at his nails that you painted for him about a week ago and how some were chipped due to practice for seventeen's upcoming comeback.
he sat in front of you and you noticed his nails. holding his hand to take a closer look, "do you want me to repaint them?" he nodded and smiled at you "thank you"
you slid the practice hand aside and grabbed your acetone removing the old polish. as he looked for inspiration on his phone, a design caught his eye. he saw how it matched the comeback colors as well as the aesthetic, gently sliding the phone toward you
"can you do this one for me please?"
"yeah anything for you"
although you've been in a relationship for a while he couldn't help but smile each time you agreed to do something for him, because out of all people it was for him.
as you started on the base coat, the song had finished and a new song was playing
"oh i love this song" you said excitedly turning the volume up
minghao just sat in front of you as you worked on his nails making them look pretty smiling at you as he listened to you sing the lyrics quietly
"i dont see what anyone can see in anyone else, but youuuuu" you sang and you moved your head from side to side with the beat
laughing slightly at your movements he mirrors them tilting his head with you and synchronizing with you as he hums to the beat
as you worked he broke down each of the lyrics and applied it to your relationship
"i kiss you all starry eyed, my body swinging from side to side"
he wish he could kiss you right now but unfortunately, you were too focused on his nails for him to swoop in and kiss you, but he will swing side to side with you.
"just because we use cheats, doesn't mean were not smart"
smiling at the lyric he remembers when you two were still in high school and that one algebra 2, the class where he met you. oh, he hated that class so much but loved it for bringing him to you. his mind traced back to when you would send him looks as a way to ask for the answer to a question on the quiz, he knew you well enough to read you and then give you the answer with his expressions. and like telekinesis, you nodded like you understood him (you did) and circled the answer on your paper
sure wasnt the most ethical thing to do, but you both survived the horrible math class
"my name is adam and im your biggest fan"
minghao couldnt help but laugh at that lyric, cause it was so him.
his name is minghao and he's your biggest fan
he hates public attention but if he had to shout it to the world, he would. anything you dream or want to do, he will always be your backbone to rely on
you looked up at him laughing and raised your eyebrow
"whats so funny?" you asked
minghao smiled at you and softly pushed back a piece of hair from your face
"nothing, i'm just your biggest fan"
smiling at his words you continue working on his nails
"i'm your biggest fan too"
he's never listened to the song, but he was sure about one thing
he didn't see what anyone else could see but you

eddie munson x fem!reader FLUFF
18+ because some sexual themes. Overall, just fluff
Word Count: 2.1k
Eddie is drunk and whiny because he's jealous of Steve. Not my gif. Would have tagged if I knew.
part 2 out now
A heavy arm clad in leather slumped around your shoulders.
You turned your head and were met with your alcohol reeking best friend, Eddie.
"Well helllllloo there, pretty girl. Come here often?" He winked at you, eyes hazy and body swaying.
"Eddie, this is my house." You laughed through your nose and wrapped an arm around his waist to steady him.
Music thumped throughout your house, and people were scattered in each corner. You weren't necessarily popular, but it was you and Eddie's idea to throw a party so he could make some quick cash. With the help of King Steve, of course. Seeing how he was already drunk, he must have already made his rounds. Unfortunately you had to work and didn't arrive until around 9 pm, about 3 hours into the party. Eddie was absolutely wasted and probably was on something else, too. You never knew with him.
"Steve.. the fuck is in this?" You took a sip of your drink and cringed. He laughed and shrugged, taking a sip and mirroring your reaction.
"Huh." Eddie huffed next to you, eyes narrowing and darting back and forth between you two.
"Should we whip together a new punch? May have put a little bit too much rum in this one." Steve pinched his thumb and pointer finger together, taking a couple steps back in the direction of your kitchen.
You were about to follow him when Eddie's arm tightened around you, leather squeaking against your shoulder. You looked at him quizzically when he let out a whiny groan.
"Eddie.. What's up? Do you feel okay?" He pulled his arm off you so that you could face him.
His cheeks were flushed and eyes hooded as he gazed down at you.
"Jus' want you to stay with me 's all.." He clumsily placed a hand on your waist and pulled you toward him. "You always gotta be aroun' King Steve⌠hmph." His lips turned down into a pout.
Your brain short circuited and you stared at him trying to piece together what's making him so mopey. Of course you were often around Steve. Though he hasn't asked you out yet, there was definitely something going on between you two.
You nervously laughed and gripped the front of his leather jacket as he stumbled back a bit. Your head was getting fuzzy yourself and you wished you were able to think a bit clearer.
"I think you should take a rest, Eds.." Your eyes trailed around the living room, pushing him toward the half empty sofa.
His fingers tightened on your waist as he was about to sit down and you pulled yourself from his grip gently. His lips turned down even more and he slumped his shoulders before he leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
"Fine. Go with your new boyfriend 'cause he's just s' cool with his cool hair and his cool coolness." He waved you off as he dramatically crossed his arms like a kid and huffed.
"Stop being a baby. I'll be right back." You gave him a deadpan expression and stuck your tongue out, tapping your shoe against his before going into the kitchen.
Steve was sitting on the counter with his arms crossed, various bottles of liquor, mixers, and other drinks littered across your island table.
"Soo.." He kicked himself off the counter to stand beside you, eyes scanning over all the ingredients.
"Is Eddie alright?" He itched the back of his neck as his eyes peeked through the doorway to where Eddie sat, still grumpy but now playing with a glowstick that someone left on the coffee table. Him and Steve were friends, actually, but he was so blasted that he was letting his feelings show a little too much.
"He's fine.." You laughed, shaking your head. "Such a big baby."
You both made the new punch and talked about random stuff, almost an hour passing before Eddie waddled in the kitchen.
"You two lovebirds done yet? I'm thirsty." He leaned his shoulder on the doorframe, seemingly a little less drunk than before as he scowled at Steve.
You gave him an annoyed look at his comment before filling a cup and handing it to him, which he just took from you and set it on the counter.
He stared at Steve with his tongue in his cheek before kissing his teeth and grabbing his cup before disappearing again.
You opened your mouth to call for him as Steve put a hand on your shoulder.
"You should uh.. go check on him." He nodded his head toward the door.
You clenched your teeth as you weaved in and out of people. You were pissed, to say the least, because it felt like you were babysitting instead of enjoying the party. It took you almost twenty minutes to find Mr. Crankypants laying in your backyard. You trudged over to him, fists clenched by your sides and the water bottle you were holding crunching in your grip.
"Eddie, what is wrong with you?" You looked down at him, crossing your arms.
His eyes left the stars and met yours, widening as he stuck an arm up and pointed at you.
"Ah! My favorite star just appeared!!" He yelled, hand flapping in excitement.
You struggled to keep the scowl on your face, failing miserably as Eddie beamed at you, laughing at himself.
You sighed as he stood up, dusting himself off and eyes looking into yours fondly.
"You okay?" You stepped forward and placed a hand on his arm.
He let himself fall forward and stuffed his face into your neck, arms clenching around your waist.
"Woa-"
"Miss you, sweetheart.." He mumbled, lips brushing up against your neck.
"You're the one who ran off, silly." You hugged him tighter.
"Y-yeah butâŚ" His voice cracked and you pinched your eyebrows together.
"Don' go with him, please." Eddie stuffed his face further into your neck when you tried to pull away.
You'd never been this close before, aside from his side hugs.
"What are you talking about, Eddie." You whispered.
He sighed, hot breath warming your throat. You pulled back and looked into his eyes, waiting for an explanation.
"Uhm.." He furrowed his eyebrows and puckered his lips.
"What're we talking about?" He quirked an eyebrow up. "Too much vodka-"
You rolled your eyes and pinched his cheek.
"Eddie. You don't want me around Steve." You blurted out, patience wearing thin.
His mouth opened and closed, lips turning downward and eyes glazing over with tears. You gasped and put your hands up.
"H-hey, it's fine- we don't have to talk about it." You hurriedly tried to change the subject.
He bowed his head down and sniffled as a tear rolled down his nose. Your heart sank when you tried to grab his hand, his whole body shrinking away from you. You said his name again but he only shook his head, huffing as more tears came out.
"Jus' wish I had a chance 's all." He hiccuped and angrily wiped his face with his sleeve, hair covering his face from your view. "- don't know how t'do this sorta thing like him." Another sniffle escaped him as he stepped further away from you.
The lump in your throat grew as you realized what the problem here was. He liked you and didn't want you to go with Steve. You mentally slapped yourself for being so blind to it.
You hopped forward and grabbed his hand, pulling him back toward you and walking further into your yard, away from the several nosey eyes that were in Eddie.
You pushed his hair from his face, all wet due to his tears. He felt so embarrassed, confessing his feelings in this drunken state. But he just couldn't control what came out of his mouth. This wasn't planned. He never intended to tell you, was going to let you be with Steve because he knew deep down he was better for you. His low self esteem was what truly kept him from actually asking you out.
Your own eyes watered when you saw his tear stained face. His eyelashes soaked with fresh tears, face red and puffy. He took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva that collected in his mouth before lifting his hand to take a sip of his drink.
You giggled when his eyes quizzically looked at his empty hand and head turned to see his cup empty on the ground. His eyes met yours again, pinching at the corners as he lazily smiled at you. You handed him the water bottle you'd been holding.
"I think we should talk about this when you're not drunk, okay?" You leaned your head forward to peek under his curtain of hair that he suddenly flicked in front of his face.
"Mhm.."
"But⌠don't be sad. We are on the same page here, okay? I.. I won't go to him. I know what you're trying to say." You gently whispered and sighed in relief when he simply nodded back.
You pulled him into a hug and he hummed as he let the water bottle fall to the ground, his heart hammering against your chest.
"Look so pretty tonight.." He mumbled as his arms snaked around your waist, lower than they had been before.
You felt tingles run throughout your body due to both the tone of his voice and the path his hands were on. Eddie's palms smoothed over your lower back as he pulled you in more, if that was even possible.
You hummed and thanked him for the compliment, your face feeling hot.
"-always look s'pretty. But never seen you in a dress like this before.." Your lower belly began to feel hot as his lips brushed against your neck while he talked. He could have moved his head so his chin was resting on your shoulder. He knew what he was doing.
"T-thank you, Eds.." You gulped and his eyes shot open, smirking as he continued moving his hands.
"Hmm.. love it when you call me that." You could feel his teeth in your neck now, mouth fully on your skin as he spoke.
Your breath hitched when he placed the most gentle kiss behind your ear, lips barely touching your skin as they trailed down your neck and placed another peck before he sloppily began to mouth at the flesh there. He panted as he nibbled and kissed messily all over your neck, the night air feeling cool against your wet skin.
"E-eddie." You breathed out.
Eddie grunted and laughed when you tugged on his hair, pulling his head back. Your face felt like it was on fire and you were grateful it was dark.
"S-sorry." He snorted out a laugh nervously and started to shimmy off his jacket, getting annoyed when it got stuck on his arm. " s'hot out."
Your chest raised with each breath as you watched him. How the fuck could you even allow yourself to go out with someone else after the one you truly liked confessed to you? And he went at your neck like a fucking vampire-
"Mmm.. miss you." He croaked up at you, his voice weak from when he had been crying.
You blinked down at him to where he was now sitting, arms reaching out to you.
"Please don' go back to him." He pouted again and a laugh bubbled in your throat as you sat next to him.
"Well how am I supposed to after that?" You wiped a hand over your face and sighed.
He stared at you, eyes struggling to stay focused on yours when your neck was so visible.
"Need to do this side too-" He quickly scooted so his body was pressed against yours and latched his lips onto your neck, sucking the skin between his teeth and letting his tongue dart out.
"Eddie!" You gasped loudly as you pushed him away and laughed incredulously, slapping a hand over where you know a hickey is.
"Don't⌠don't tell me there's a mar-"
"Uh-huh there's mos' definitely a mark." He snickered at you and clumsily made his way onto his feet, eyes filled with lust as he watched you lick your lips and squeeze your thighs together. His legs stumbled a bit as he didn't have you to hang on to and he looked toward the house. Fuck, he was so hard.
"Gotta piss- be back in like.. fifteen." He held up 4 fingers.
You stifle a laugh and nod, wanting him to leave so you can fan your face. You were fucking sweating.
" 'f I wasn't so drunk⌠hmph." He put two fingers down out of the four he still had up and made a V, sticking his tongue out and obnoxiously laughing when you covered your face at the gesture.
" 'm actually going to jack off, I lied-"
"Eddie! Can you please leave!!" You laid on your back and covered your face, still laughing.
"Alright alright, sorry- no filter right now, sweetheart."
Your friendship will definitely never be the same.

Workout routine
My best friend from school, Emily, married last summer while still being at university with me. She is still young, but claimed that her boyfriend truly loves her. Bullshit if you ask me, he never respected here and treated here like a trophy wife since the beginning. Yeah I hated him. He was a homophobic asshole and acting like some fuckin' alpha male. Why Emily dated him I never understood
One day we were on their garden studying for an upcoming exam. I was nervous most of the time cause James was working outside fixing stuff and eyed me like a prey. Emily went to get us some snacks and drinks.
He came up to me and started some homophobic talk how I could choose this path of sin and so on. I couldn't look up at him. Cause he was very close to me, very shritless and VERY sexy. Way too much. If I looked up even for a second, I would immediately get hard.
"You gays are the worst thing about this generation. You can't even work, y'all do your artsy useless shit and nothing usefull"
"Can you just let me live and go on about your life? I don't want to listen to this."
"Well you're on my property so you'll listen to whatever I have to tell you"
A call from inside the house. Emilly called him
"You're lucky. If it weren't for her you'd be already on the ground biting dust"
What an idiot. I was raging. I think I'll just leave and go home. I can't calm myself down and I don't want to cause any drama with Emily. Even if I think her husband is horrible, I don't want ot loose her a s a friend"
Emily came out of the house, smiling. She brought the snacks and water. She looked at me "Sorry for... taking so long. I had to sort something that couldn't wait. Now drink up, you haven't drank for hours. I should have brought drinks sooner."
I took the glass and took a sip. But then I felt really nauseaous. My vision was blurry now and I felt like vomiting. All I could make out of Emily's face was that she was smiling.
Then my vision started getting clearer again. But it was strange, I wasn't outside anymore. I was in their kitchen, holding a glass. "How did I get here?" went through in my head. As I looked for the nearest surface to put down the glass I noticed that I was shirtless.
Wait, what?!? This isn't my body!!!
I let go off the glass destroying it. But nothing could have prepared me for being this ripped in the matter of seconds. This is something I always wished for, but never thought I would get. I was always the skinny twink trying to build more muscles, but couldn't. And now, I have massive muscles.
I found a mirror in the hall. No, this can't be happening. I am James. I can't be him. He is an asshole. A homophobic asshole.
But his body thought otherwise. His dick got hard. And it isn't small. Which might be cool to play with, but now I was still angry everytime I looked at the mirror.
"Enjoying yourself?" Emily asked as she entered the house
"What have you done, Ems?"
"I gave you a new body. The one you have been lusting for. And as a side effect I got myself an improvement for a boyfriend. I loved him before, but I was blind and deaf to all the things he said on your account and to all the things he commented about me. Never appreciated me. But you are the best man I ever knew. And I wanted to be with you even if I wasn't your type. But now, I think I might be" she said as she placed her hand on my new crotch.
I thought I wouldn't like this, cause I was gay for my entire life, but James's body is still straight. But in my mind I could even picture myself with a dude and not be disgusted
"Ems, I think you didn't turn me straight as you wished for. I think I'm bi, actually"
"Whatever is best for both of us. I got a cute gay friend who you might like and who would love to explore your body, with me. But I think there might be some emotions involved, you know. Cause of the previous ownership and so on." she said and laughed out loud.
I took her up and put her on the kitchen table. Embracing her and going for a kiss.
"Ems, you are the best friend I could have ever wanted. I love you and I will love you now as your husband"
We could hear a scream outside coming from the garden. We could only smile at each other as we knew what was coming
Two months later:
"Hey, my name is James and this is my colleague Robert. Robert is a small gay dude friend from my wife. We are going on a road trip to get to know each other better with the permission from my wife. So we would like a room"
"Oh, there's only double bed? That's absolutely fine with us, right Robert? Bro's will be bro's and NO HOMO. Hahaha"
A story request from Inbox: Could you do a swap with a Twink and his best friendâs bodybuilder husband?

MY FAVOURITE
genre. fluff. hurt/comfort. warnings. jaehyun had a stressful day and cries a bit. pairing. jaehyun x fem!reader. wc. 857. request. requested by đ§ anon: thoughts about jaehyun returning home to y/n after a stressful day and switching from leader mode to baby mode a/n. jaehyun being a crybaby is just so :( like i love him i adore him as a cry baby myself 𼚠like idk i just cry over everything any slightly stressful situation will have the tears forming its not even funny >:( jaehyun looks so squishable and tiny when he cries like đđđ he needs to be protected from the world.
âNo. I told you we needed another 2 days for choreography lessons. The boys will be stressed if they have to learn it all by tomorrow. Thereâs still so many details we need to review.â Your boyfriend had barely walked through the door before he got a call from his manager and started talking. He sounded extremely stressedâ not something you were usually used to from soft clingy Jaehyun you had around most days.
Whether it was charismatic performances on stage or detailed plans and decision-making offstage, your boyfriend excelled in both areas. But it was tiring. He could switch on and off as quickly and easily as he needed to, which was extremely helpful in keeping his stress at a low. Relaxing and recharging was just as important as working, and he knew that he needed a balance to keep going.
Today had been long and heavy on the work non-stop part of his life that Jaehyun both loved and hated. It was all worth itâ alwaysâ but some days he really wished he didnât have to leave so early in the morning and come home so late at night. Some days he wished he could just cuddle with you until he actually wanted to get up and that he was able to get back to you in time for dinner.Â
It was much past dinner time by now, already nearing midnight. Though your boyfriendâs voice sounded just like usual, professional, bright, and confident, you could tell with one glance at his face that he was so so tired. Eye bags and furrowed eyebrows framed his face, and he ran a stressed hand through his black hair, letting it stay and grip at the strands a bit too long for your liking.
The phone call ended quickly, thankfully. Jaehyun turned to you and you could just see him soften and relax completely. You closed the distance between you two so he didnât have to, knowing your boyfriend and his love for hugs. He sunk into the hug immediately, holding you so so tightly. You frowned at how he was barely supporting his own body weight, so exhausted that he physically couldnât do much other than cling to you.
You wanted to move to the couch in case he ended up toppling you both over with any extra weight he put in the hug. But you couldnât do it without breaking the hug and Jaehyun looked like he would cry if that happened.
Not that he hadnât started crying a little already. You could feel his body rack silently as he tugged at the back of your sweater, breathing in the scent of your shampoo with each uneven breath. You rubbed his back slowly up and down, soothingly waiting until he had calmed down enough to get ready for bed.
âItâs okay, let it all out, baby. I know it was an exhausting day. But you know Iâm proud of you, right?â You murmured, pressing little kisses to his temple as you spoke. He started crying a little harder at your words, but you didnât mind at all. You were glad you were someone he trusted enough to be completely vulnerable with. He didnât hold back his tears, sobbing into your shoulder until the tears slowly stopped. You pulled back once you felt that he could hold himself up again with a clearer head.
âNot even the sky can be sunny all the time.â You smiled at his precious face, reaching out to swipe a thumb on his cheek to wipe away the tear stains. His nose was red and a little runny, and his eyes were a bit swollen. He looked so precious and small, and your heart broke just seeing him cry.Â
After a few more hugs and a couple of kisses for motivation, you got him to shower and get into his pyjamas to cuddle up with you and finally sleep. Jaehyun loved to be the little spoon more than anything, all wrapped up close to you, feeling so comfortable and secure like nothing could ever touch him. You played with his hair and pressed continuous kisses to his faceâ you loved to spoil your baby with as much affection as he deserved, and he loved to receive it after a long day.
âItâs my favourite thingâŚâ He mumbled quietly, snuggling closer into your chest.
âWhat is?â You traced a finger around his nose and cheekbone, pressing a kiss to the spot right after.
âThis. And you. Youâre my favourite.â He replied, smiling a little, about half asleep already.
âReally?â You smiled fondly at him as he nodded. âIâm honoured to be your favourite. Youâre my favourite too.âÂ
âReallyâŚ?â He was so sleepy, and his words came out whispered, but you found it all the more endearing.
âYes, really.â
With the last bit of energy Jaehyun had before sleep caught hold of him, he reached for your hand that was playing with his hair and brought it down to his lips, pressing a feather-light kiss to your fingers. Before you could respond or return the favour, he was already sound asleep in your hold.

Chapter 1
Pairing: Modern!Anakin Skywalker x Reader
Description: Leaving behind an incompatible college and profound heartbreak on the Virginia Coast, you find yourself home again in Brookline, Massachusetts. A new opportunity presents itself to you at MIT, joining your brother ben and childhood friends/neighbors, Anakin and Ahsoka. Despite the familiarity, you discover just how much of a difference 2 years away can really make between the people you once considered family.
Warnings:f!reader, angst, jealousy, pining, smut, masturbation, mentions/descriptions of domestic abuse, cursing, drinking/drug usage, academic obsession, general obsession, hardcore partying, frats, general college bullshit
DISCLAIMER!!! READ BEFORE PROCEEDING: Iâve never been in an abusive relationship- Iâve only witnessed them. Iâm an aspiring psychology major and have done a lot of research on the topic of domestic abuse/violence. This series deals with this topic HEAVILY, so be warned.Â
Word Count: 6.3k A/N: First chapter is up! I'm sorry it took so long, I was really hoping to nail a certain feel and aesthetic with this series, and I really hope that translates.

Requests and ask box is open, and any/all criticism is welcome! Thank you for reading and supporting me <3
masterlist.
The drive to Brookline was always a hassle. Whether it was crossing the scary bridge along the coast of Virginia or through New York Cityâknowing that youâd still never beenâit always ached. Maybe it was because you hadnât been home in two yearsâand you missed Boston.Â
Piled high in the back of your black Ford Focus was the last two years of your life that you could fit. You left behind everything else.Â
The forest that encompassed you on I-95 offered a clearer perspective on your situation. As devastating as it had been, your new beginning after high school was not quite what you expected it to be. Hampton was a lovely place; the beaches were excellent, the people friendly, and there was always something to do. Somewhere to go. You made decent money working as a cocktail waitress in a club near your apartment, which is how you met Nick.
Tall, with a handsome face and a charm that was impossible to resist, Nick was the kind of man you couldn't help but be drawn to. He had a gorgeous smile and a body sculpted from the gods. The night you met him, he smooth-talked his way into your bed, introducing himself as Nicholas, saying how he never met someone as beautiful as you. The other waitresses just didnât compare. And the rest was history. Were you usually the type to sleep with someone on the first date (if you could call it that)? Definitely not. But something about him was so captivating.Â
But as the trees passed you by and your grip on your steering wheel tightened, you felt a tear fall onto your shaking hands. What happened to the Nick you loved? What went wrong? Who did you both turn into? Besides, the whole thing going south was your fault- you both knew that. You wanted too much; you let those men flirt, and you were never there for him. You never did what he asked. And youâd never amount to anything. At least, thatâs what Nick always told you- and part of you was inclined to believe it.Â
Your heart ached at the loss. The 11-hour drive was increasingly painful by the second, only two hours in and not even through the first city. The morning sun beamed in your eye as your car trudged through the wetlands, bathed in its golden hue.1 In the distance, you could make out the skyline of DC, the first city you needed to travel through.
It was nice in DC. You had attended a few times in the past. On one of the many family vacations you took throughout the years, you, your parents, and the Skywalkers had all made a trip together to that specific destination. You intentionally took the longer way home to ensure you remember it all. Besides, the Delaware Peninsula was far from interesting. And you needed the time to think- and probably mentally prepare yourself for what youâd arrive at.
The most exciting part of the trip was Baltimore, Philly, and NYC back to back. Despite sitting in mind-numbing traffic a lot of times, there was always something to look at. And people-watching was always your favorite. You felt your heart hurt, wishing for the opportunities that these cities could bring. As New York City and Hartford disappeared in the rearview mirror, the approaching Boston skyline sent a shiver down your spine, your breath catching in your throat. And there was the traffic.
You shakily reached for a cigarette out of your purse as your car came to a stop, breaking your own promise that you wouldnât smoke in the car you bought. A wide smile spread across your face as you lit the cigarette, your body relaxing as the sweet scent filled the air. Naturally, your mind went straight to Anakin. Whenever you tasted cigarettes, it was impossible not to think of him and the bittersweet moments you shared. After all, he started your bad habit. Once again, your hands shook. Did he ever think about you while you were gone? You were close, but he was also an incredible pain in your ass. And what if he and Padme suddenly got back together? Ahsoka would have told you, right? Maybe.Â
She would have told you.Â
The familiar streets of Brookline outstretched before you, energetic and alive, instantly flooding your mind with cheerful memories that brought a grin to your face. Your smile widened across your face as you glanced at the familiar sports bar on the corner, reminiscing about the laughter and friendships you developed during your time as a hostess in high school. You turned the corner at the next light, a quiet laugh escaping your lips as the vibrant lights of the movie theater danced before your eyes, eliciting the sweet nostalgia of your god-awful first kiss. You werenât expecting little Tommy to stick his tongue down your throat in 7th grade. As you approached Emerson Garden, a bittersweet ache tugged at your heart, memories of laughter and familiarity flooding your mindâthe memories it held.Â
The streetlights flickered as you turned down the most familiar road of all. You bit your lip in anticipation and ignored the urge to light another cigarette right then and there- your mom didnât need to know about your filthy habit (although she smoked, too). The soft melodies of Radiohead and the laughter echoed from the back porch as you parked in the driveway. Gazing at the house with a smile, you felt a hint of excitement about reclaiming your old room. It had been far too long.Â
The porch light turned on, and out ran Ahsoka, not even giving you a chance to turn your car off.
âYou motherfucker!â She yelled, opening the car door and throwing her arms around you as you laughed, âItâs been so fucking long!âÂ
You looked back at her, pulling the beanie off her head and giggling, âWell, donât tell the others, but I only came back for you.â
âShut up,â she stands up, pulling you up with her, âGet your ass inside.â You laugh and salute her, following her through the familiar corridors of your house and into the kitchen.Â
âShut the FUCK up. Sheâs real!â Your mom squealed and quickly set her wine down, embracing you as if youâd be gone in an instant. âNever leave me like that again.â She pulls away and laughs, her tone laced with a hint of seriousness.Â
âNever.â You promised, smiling wide before your dad caught your attention, tossing you a beer and shooting a wink in your direction. Although he wasn't typically sentimental, you could tell he missed you.Â
âWhere are the boys?â you asked, opening the can and drinking the bitter liquid. âJesus Christ, Miller Lite never gets better, does it?â You squinted your eyes in disgust, giggling at your own reaction.Â
âNope, thought I taught you better than that.â He wraps an arm around your shoulders, kissing the top of your head. âTheyâre outside with Cliegg and Shmi.â
âOkay, sweet, Iâll go say hello.â You motion towards the back door, catching a glimpse of Ben from the back porch.Â
âHey,â He grabs your arm before you can turn to leave. âWe missed you. I hope youâre okay. Ahsoka didnât give us any details, but she said things really went to shit in Hampton. I just want to make sure you know you always have a home here, and we will do what we can to make it better, okay?âÂ
You nodded and smiled before practically running out the back door, forgetting exactly what you were throwing yourself into.Â
âYou fucker, you cheated!â Anakin yells, throwing down his cards as Ben takes a swig of his beer and laughs.Â
âIâm afraid you just have an awful poker face, Anakin.â He sets his cards down and stands up, turning to face you with a smile. âThere she is. About time you graced us with your presence.âÂ
You give a shrug before embracing Ben tightly, fighting back tears welling up in your eyes. You and Ben were close, and you knew that if he found out what happened, it would devastate him. He and Anakin were always there to keep you safe, but you had a distinct sibling connection. He knew you too well, always able to read your thoughts with uncanny accuracy.Â
âYou okay?â He pulled away and whispered, searching your sad eyes.
âYeah, just tired. Long ass drive. Took the long way this time.â You sniffled, and he nodded in response, letting go and pulling a chair out between Anakin and what you assumed was Ahsokaâs chair. With a quiet thank you on your lips, you raised your beer to your mouth and took a long, satisfying gulp, feeling a gentle buzz settle in.Â
âSo, youâre back.â Anakin avoids eye contact, shuffling the cards before him as Ahsoka stifles a laugh. âTook you long enough.â
âAnakin!â Shmi scolds, noticing how his lips turn into a smirk, âYou know he missed you, Y/N. Heâs just a sore loser. Benâs kicked his ass at poker three times now.âÂ
âAh,â You nod, a grin spreading across your face, âHe just doesnât want to admit he sucks at poker- OW!â You feel a sudden impact as Anakin's foot forcefully meets the top of yours, causing you to shoot a glare in his direction. His eyes remain fixed on the cards, completely disregarding your look, while he bites down on his lip, trying to contain his amusement. "Sore loser indeed," you mutter under her breath, shaking her head in annoyance as you pick up the cards he handed you.
Of course, the hand was awful. You werenât sure how youâd make it out of this alive. Family poker nights were a tradition started by your parents and the Skywalkers, which you were all quickly introduced to by your 10th birthday. Once you hit double digits, you were old enough to gamble. Ahsoka was always the best, but you had a habit of making a comeback when people least expected it. And you had a great poker face- Anakin did not. Anakin had a habit of wearing every thought and emotion on his sleeve his entire life. Shmi always swore it would be his downfall- as a child, you thought she was just talking about his downfall at poker. But once you got older, you quickly understood.Â
When you discovered his breakup with Padme, you felt like maybe part of you understood. But you never really knew why they broke up. Everyone just told you, âThey were better off as friends,â and that was all you knew. Did you want the real story? Absolutely. But part of you was worried about what heâd tell you. You knew better than to get involved in Anakinâs love life, and deep down, a part of you didnât want to taint the image you had always had of him in your mind.
âHeard you finally got into MIT,â Anakin breaks the silence and your train of thought as he pushes a couple of chips into the center of the table, âCongratulations, although Iâve never heard of anyone going to MIT for an Archeology degree.â You roll your eyes and sigh.Â
âThere it is.â You giggle as everyone groans, setting their cards down as they fold.Â
âThereâs what?â He shoots you a disapproving glare.
âYouâve never given me a compliment without an insult. Was waiting for it.â You shrug, laying down your cards, âFull house.â Anakinâs jaw drops as you pull all the chips in your direction.Â
âShit,â He mutters, setting his cards down and laying his head on the table as he groans loudly in annoyance, âFucking done with this game.â
âAnd so are we,â Shmi motions Cliegg to stand, âLove you guys. Have fun. Good to have you back, sweetheart.â Shmi kisses your head as Cliegg ruffles your hair before leaving to say goodnight to your parents.Â
âMhm,â you hum, finishing the last of your beer, âand plenty of people go to MIT for archeology. Itâs a great school. Besides, itâs about time I joined you all there. And itâs only a 15-minute drive. Speaking of- howâs biochemical engineering going, little one?â With a gentle tap on Ahsoka's knee, she reluctantly tears her gaze away from her phone and responds with an eye roll.
âFucking awful! I love what Iâm studying; the school is incredible- just so much work. Iâm so tired. I have time for nothing!â She groans and sinks further into her chair while you, Anakin, and Ben burst into uncontrollable laughter.
âComing from a recent MIT graduate- it doesnât get any better. Just wait until you get further into your major- Biochemical Engineering is far from easy.â Ben offers her a smile while you and Anakin continue giggling.Â
âAnd on that note,â You stand up, shaking your empty can, âIâm getting something stronger than this Miller.âÂ
As you enter the house, a soft purr fills the air as your familiar furry companion, Giz, wraps himself around your legs. You squat down on the floor and feel the warmth of his fur as you pet him, "Missed you, little guy."
âHe missed you too.â Your mom leans against the doorway, handing you an obnoxiously full glass of wine. âHad a feeling you came in for this. Are we gonna talk about what happened?âÂ
You sigh, standing up and rubbing your hands on your thighs. âNowâs not really the time or place, Mom. I just got here. The last thing I wanna think about is that.â You grab the glass out of her hand and attempt to turn around before her hand is on your shoulder, pulling you back.Â
âNot so fast.â You turn around and meet her concerned eyes, your hands feeling more sweaty than they did a minute ago. âY/N, no one just up and leaves their entire life for the past two years suddenly without something major happening. I know you havenât told anyone- and I know the last thing you want to do is talk about it- but please, for the love of God, talk to someone. We can all tell something is off. Youâre not yourself, honey. We care about you- and weâre concerned. As much as Iâm so fucking happy to have you back, I know something bad happened, and I want to be there for you.âÂ
âMom,â You put your hand on her shoulder, fighting back tears with a smile. âYouâre doing enough. I just want to have a good time, focus on being in my dream school, and g-get my life back together, okay?âÂ
âO-okay,â she nods, her voice laced with apprehension as she turns away from you and back into the kitchen, âPasta on the stove if you want it!âÂ
âThanks!â you yell, shutting the back door behind you and sighing loudly as you plop back into your chair, earning an eyebrow raise from everyone, âIâm here for an hour and sheâs already bugging me.â
âShe just loves you, Y/N/N.â Ben tries to reason, and you feel your leg bounce.Â
âYeah,â you mumble, fidgeting with the poker chips on the table.
âSo,â Anakin leans forward, opening another beer, âYou and that guy still together? What was his name.. Harry? James?â
âNick.â You answer for him, unconsciously biting your lip. âAnd no, weâre not.â Everyoneâs ears suddenly perked up at the confession, the consensus being just how little they knew about your life.Â
âDamn, whatâd you do?â Anakin jokes, searching your face for a smile, only to be met with nothing.
âHa. Good one.â You chuckle under your breath, your lips forming into a frown.
As soon as Anakin brought up Nick, you lost interest in the conversation. Nick never met the family; you only told them about him over the phone while you were gone. He had always insisted that your life was meant to be in Hampton with him, where you would create something new together. You didnât need to return home to your family; if you did, youâd be leaving him all alone. Holidays and significant moments came and went, and all the while, you were stuck at a college you loathed, sharing your life with a man you mistakenly believed was the one. Â
During your nights in Hampton, you and Nick would often find yourselves curled up on the couch, indulging in excessive drinking while he introduced you to various illicit substances. You pretended to enjoy soccer and cocaine, drinking more tequila than you needed. Shot after shot, followed by line after line, you barely knew who you were. He constantly told you how pretty you were, how you were made for him, but if you forgot to run to the liquor store that day, he would treat you as if you were dead to him. Nick offered little in return for your support, except for empty assurances that the life you would build together would make it all worthwhile. Nick's behavior took a downward spiral as he began staying late at work and arriving home in a drunken stupor. From that point on, things spiraled out of control.Â
And maybe a part of you once loved Nick, but now you felt suffocated in the relationship. And when you tried to bring things up to him, heâd tell you that you were a cheap whore who was only made to be his personal fuck toy. And just like that, the conversation came to an end. The coercion left, and he started to force you to use the drugs heâd use, tell you to skip class, skip tests, skip your job- you were losing yourself within him, and you were worried about the consequences if you didnât let it happen. He was always a kind, sweet, romantic boy- but he could be so, so evil.Â
And youâll never forget the first time he hit you, the sound of his hand connecting with your skin echoing in your ears. As you sat on the counter, the alcohol made your vision blur, and your head throbbed as if it was about to explode. You were already at your limit, and the last thing you wanted was to do was another line. Your nose was already starting to bleed a little, and he begged and begged for you to keep going- telling you he needed it. He didnât want to do it alone- you had to do it. As you stubbornly declined once more, a sudden, fiery sting seared across your cheek, causing your nose to finally bleed and droplets of blood to stain your thigh. He apologized profusely, waiting on you hand and foot as he cleaned you up, held your hair as you puked, washed you, and still talked you into sex- but it had happened. You knew you needed to leave, or your life could be at stake.Â
âY/N?â Ben asks, and you break out of your Nick-induced trance with a sharp gasp, your eyes glossy and lips bloody from your nervous tic.Â
âIâll be back.â You stand back up, taking a concerningly long swig from the wine before exiting out the back gate and into the driveway.Â
âIâm really concerned about her.â Ben watches you leave and bites his lip. Ahsoka nods along with him. âListen, as happy as I am to have her back, somethingâs not right. As her brother, I just- I fear the worst. Sheâs not herself.âÂ
âDid you see the way she reacted when you asked about Nick?â Ahsoka whispered, leaning in to closer to the table, âSomething had to have happened.â
âWait.â Anakin says, as he and Ben both turn to face her, their brows furrowed in confusion and concern, âAhsoka, you donât know anything either? Sheâs your best friend.â
âI- I know nothing. And I hate it.â She confesses to the boys, the air growing thick as Anakin uncomfortably shifts in his seat, and Ben sighs.
âI think Iâm gonna try to talk to her.â Anakin stands slowly as Ben raises a brow and leans back in his chair, closing his eyes.
âAnakin, no offense, but I doubt sheâll want to talk to you,â Ahsoka murmured, avoiding his scowl.Â
âWell,â he pushes the chair behind him, walking towards the gate. âWeâll see!âÂ
Curled up in the Papasan chair on the porch, you lit the joint between your fingers and watched as the lights in your neighbor's windows turned off. Your thoughts drifted from Nick and onto the childhood you missed dearlyâso many snowball fights on the street before you, bike rides, and scraped knees. You remember the Johnsons across the street particularly not liking Anakin, so you and Ahsoka egged their house, only to backfire and get Anakin in trouble. You confessed to doing it, and no one believed you. It had to be Anakin. But for some strange reason, he never cared. He accepted the punishment, mowed their yard for a year, and never brought it up to you, no matter how many times you apologized. And every apology that slipped from between your lips was met with a grin.Â
And that time in 7th grade when Ahsoka really got into it with Julie down the street. She never liked Ahsoka and always found a way to get under her skin. However, this time was particularly awful. When you found Ahsoka, she was sobbing on the corner while Julie laughed at her, calling her pathetic, telling her that even her adopted parents didnât love her and that her big brother wasnât there to save her now. But you were. You pushed Julie onto the grass so fucking hard, only for her to get back up and swing. Ahsoka screamed for you to stop, but a newfound rage took over as you pounded into Julieâs face. She ended up on the pavement with a broken nose, and you ended the fight with a fractured wrist and grounded for a month (Only a month because your mom found out who you fought and what she said). Anakin was waiting for Ben to return from tennis and heard the commotion. He ran down the street, finding Ahsoka sobbing, Julie on the pavement, bloody and teary, and you sitting on the corner, shaking and clutching your throbbing wrist in your hand. He instantly asked Ahsoka what happened before making his way to you, holding your wrist, picking you up, and taking you and Ahsoka back to your house. Your mom called Julieâs mom and talked about what happened, and fortunately, Julie confessed to everything. And thatâs when you found out her parents were going through a nasty divorce, and Julie was starting therapy. And surprisingly, she actually grew into a really decent, respectable person.Â
The four of you had always done everything together. You had always been inseparable. And when you left, it tore that apart. You left a hole in Brookline, and you knew it as well as they did. Even though they swore they were happy for you, moving on and doing more, you could see in their eyes that they selfishly did not want you to leave. They didnât like the years of friendship to be put on hold just like that. And, of course, you felt guilty about it all, but you thought you needed to get out of Brookline. You assumed you wanted something bigger than Boston, bigger than you, bigger than those childhood friends. And two years later, you realize just how naĂŻve you were. Those were your lifelong friends; your life was in Boston, and your dream school was there, too. You missed them more than you could ever envision, and the guilt ate at you every single fucking day. And you wished that 19-year-old you had just stayed. Things would be so much simpler if you had stayed. You let some pathetic man in Hampton tell you that it was just you and him- forever. And you knew deep down your 19-year-old naive self didnât believe a fucking word he said- she just wished she did. Â
âOh, thatâs not a cigarette.â Your eyes flicker up from the street and towards a drunken Anakin leaning against the patio rail in front of you. His lips were curled into a mischievous smile, his hair curly and messy.Â
âNo,â You lean forward, handing him the joint, âNo, itâs not.âÂ
âSo,â He took a quick draw from the joint, flicking it against the deck railing as he looked back at you and smiled, âYou just got here, and youâre already running from us? Whatâs up with that?âÂ
You scoff, snatching the joint from him and leaning back in the chair.Â
âJust wanted some alone time, is all.â You avoid his gaze, and itâs his turn to scoff, plopping himself next to you in the chair.Â
âYeah, because youâve been so fond of that your entire life. I donât believe you.âÂ
âAnd? Never said I cared that you did.â You quickly retorted, earning an eyebrow raise and a smirk.Â
âRelax,â he said, snatching the joint back from you and holding it hostage. âTalk to me. Itâs just us.â His hand met yours; his gaze was intense and empathetic.Â
You werenât sure why you wanted to tell him. It was probably the weed mixed with a bit of liquid courage, but in that moment, you needed to get it out. He was so welcoming, holding your hand and offering you the comfort you needed in that moment. Was it pure manipulation? Possibly. But you knew Anakin loved you just as much as you loved him, and you knew you could trust him. He had kept your secrets before, so whatâs another one? However, none of those other secrets typically included an abusive relationship; it was mainly about Ben and Ahsoka. You gripped his hand back, watching his eyes soften and his lips curve into a small smile.
âJust-â You started, dropping your voice into a low murmur, âPlease donât tell anyone.â
âI wonât.â He looked into your eyes like he would die to protect your secret. That was precisely what you needed to see.Â
âNick- uh- sorry,â You sniffled, rubbing your eyes as you searched for the right words. âHe- uh- he hurt meâa lot. I barely made it out of that relationship in one piece. I think my breaking point was when I asked him to visit for your grandmaâs funeral, and he knocked me out. I woke up in my bathtub, my face covered in my blood, and he was gone. I applied to MIT that morning. The day after I got in, I packed everything I could and left. Heâs blocked on everything, and he hasnât attempted to reach out in any sort of way. Anakin- I donât know what would have happened to me if I didnât leave.â
Your eyes met Anakinâs glossy ones as your hands shook underneath his touch. He crooked his head to the side, bringing you in for a much-needed hug. You let yourself cry softly in his arms, feeling his shaky hands rub in slow motions up and down your back, his other hand stroking the top of your scalp.
 But when he looked back at you, the softness in his gaze had disappeared. His fists clenched at his side, his eyebrows furrowed as he bit his lip in frustration.Â
âA-Anakin?âÂ
âY/N, why didnât you tell anybody? We wouldâve come to help! We could have put that piece of shit in jail by now!â He stands up abruptly, pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing deeply.Â
âI-Iâm sorry- I-â You stutter, your mind racing as he paces before you. His eyes meet yours, and he points at you as your heartbeat accelerates.
âY/N, I swear to god- Iâm gonna kill that motherfucker. Heâs fucking dead. I donât care what hap-â He stops momentarily, cut off by your sobs from the chair. Fuck. Heâs yelling at a domestic violence victim- no- heâs yelling at you. What a fucking asshole.Â
âHeyHeyHeyHey-â Heâs quickly on his knees in front of you, shushing and brushing your hair out of your face, âIâm so fucking sorry- that was so selfish of me to do. I shouldnât have said or done any of that. You opened up to me, and I yelled at you.. that will never happen again, okay? Why donât we get you to bed?â He held your hands in his, searching your red eyes for an answer as you quickly nodded.Â
âOkay, Iâm gonna go say goodnight to everyone, you just hold tight here. Sound good?â You nodded once again, and he giggled. âWords, sweetheart. I need you to say something.â
âThatâs what I want, Ani. Bed.â You mumble out, forming your lips into a sad smile. His heart broke at the sight of you.Â
The second the back gate opened back up, Ben and Ahsoka immediately shot out of their chairs at the sight of Anakin. Their interrupted conversation suddenly had no meaning as he entered, taking a quick seat next to them.
âSheâs- uh- sheâs pretty upset. And fucked up. Iâm gonna take her to bed.â He sighed, running his fingers through his hair as Ben and Ahsoka looked at him, puzzled.Â
âWell, what happened? Is she okay? Does she need help?â Ahsoka frantically broke the silence, asking the questions she and Ben were both thinking.Â
âListen, sheâs in rough shape right now. Iâm just gonna get her to sleep, and Iâll tell you guys all about it. I donât even know if sheâs done talking about it. Iâll be right back.âÂ
âY/N?â He calls out your name as he steps on the other side of the gate, jogging up the front porch to see you passed out in the chair, joint hanging loosely from your fingers.Â
Amused, he grabs the roach from your fingers and casually tosses it off the porch, letting out a small laugh. Clearly, you didn't waste any time before drifting off to sleep. All the crying and weed must have done something. As he crouches down beside you, he tenderly brushes your hair, his eyes filled with adoration as he looks at your sleeping figure.Â
âIâm so sorry about everything,â He tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear, sighing softly, âI know youâre going to hate me for what Iâm gonna do. Just please know itâs in your best interest. I care about you so much.â He bites his lip in thought, his eyes searching your figure.
As he rises to his feet, he effortlessly swipes your phone and tucks it away, his eyes briefly glancing at your water bottle. With a tender gesture, he reaches his arms beneath you, drawing you close to his chest and ensuring the blanket envelops you snugly as he lifts you from the chair. Your head is cradled against his chest, his hand wrapped around your waist and under your knees.Â
Anakin carried you gently up the stairs of your house, each step creaking under the weight of his feet. Passing through the familiar corridors, he reached your bedroom door and pushed it open, immediately being overwhelmed by the alluring scent of your space. As he laid you down on your bed, he couldn't help but notice how little the room had changed since you left, the same photos on the walls and the same worn-out rug. Your mom kept everything intact, probably hoping youâd come back eventually. He filled your water bottle, plugged your phone in, left some medicine on your nightstand, and tucked you in tightly. Just as he turned on the fan and kissed your forehead goodnight, your eyes fluttered open to meet with his, and you gave him a sleepy smile.Â
âAni?â You mumbled, watching as his smile grew above you.Â
âHey, sweetheart, feeling pretty sleepy, huh?âÂ
âMhm,â You stretched your arms out momentarily as you yawned. âIâm sorry I dropped all of that on you earlier. And Iâm just- Iâm sorry about it all. I feel so-â
âY/N,â He gets on his knees next to you, the warmth in his eyes matching the tender smile on his lips, âYou donât need to apologize for a thing. Iâm always here. And so are Ben and Ahsoka. We got you. You take as much time as you need to process, recover, and do whatever you need to, okay? Itâs about you, Y/N/N, donât worry about us.â You giggle and nod at his words, your eyes attempting to flutter shut. He laughs at your exhaustion, ruffling up the hair on your head. âSleep well, okay? Iâll be here if you need me.âÂ
He closes your door and leans against the door frame, exhaling heavily as he tries to make sense of everything that happened throughout the night. How could someone be so fucking despicable to do this to you? His girl. His fists clenched tightly at his waist, his eyes burning with rage as he vividly imagined the torment you endured. He tried not to let his mind go there. He really did. Resting against your bedroom door, vivid visions of you, covered in blood and pleading for help, overwhelmed him, plunging him into a downward spiral. And in a moment of weakness, he did exactly what he promised he wouldnât do.
âShe was abused. Badly.â
âWHAT?â
Ben and Ahsoka jump from their seats on the porch, rushing towards Anakin as he angrily makes his way from the house onto the deck.Â
âThat fucking piece of shit!â Ben shouts, punching his fist against the side of the house while Ahsoka tries to calm Anakin down, asking him for more details.
âOkay, Anakin, I need you to give me more than just âabused.â I know you have details.â Ahsoka sputtered while she held the sides of his arms, guiding him over to the table to sit down while Ben paced behind them.Â
âIt was that asshole she was dating for the past two years- Nick. The one we conveniently never met, which Iâm sure was on purpose. She didnât tell me much other than that if she didnât leave when she did, she couldâve- well- she- it just wouldnât have ended well.â
Anakin's words hung in the air, creating a thick silence that was almost tangible with tension. Anakin's throat tightened as he locked eyes with Ben and Ahsoka, their glossy gazes reflecting their shared pain. Ben found a spot at the table, deep in thought, as he absentmindedly stroked his chin, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Ahsoka carefully finished the last of her wine, the cling! of it ringing out as the glass met the table one last time. Â
âWell-â Ben tried to start, cut off by his sudden sobs. He pushed his head on the table, covering his face from Ahsoka and Anakin as he attempted to take deep breaths, processing the information he had just learned. In an effort to hold back tears, Anakin bit his lip, his hand trembling as he rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes squeezed shut tightly. As she silently wept, Ahsoka soothingly rubbed Ben's back, hoping to ease his pain.
âI just- I should have known.â She mumbled, picking the cat's hair off of the back of Benâs sweater.Â
âThereâs no way you couldâve, Snips.âÂ
âItâs just that- I thought it was odd when she suddenly asked me to pick up her cat. Saying she couldnât take care of him and that it was an emergency. I never even met Nick, and she wouldnât let me stay at the apartment long. I hardly saw her. So many fucking red flags..â she trailed off, feeling her head hurt at the thought.Â
âAhsoka, itâs okay.â Ben sniffled, lifting his head off the table as his red eyes met Anakinâs. âThere is no one at fault here other than Nick.â
"Exactly," Anakin paused momentarily at his comment, his eyes widening. âGuys, she made me promise I wouldnât tell you. Considering everything, I think we should wait until she opens up. Even though it hurts, the last thing Iâd want to do is hurt her anymore.â
âYeah,â Ben whispers, and Ahsoka nods, holding onto each other as they try to calm down. Â
âWe should get to bed, guys. Itâs 3:30.â Anakin mumbles as he stands up and stretches, offering his hand to Ahsoka. âWeâll see you soon, Ben. Get some rest.â
As he lay in bed, Anakinâs mind wandered off to you. How could it not? Besides being your best friend, he always looked for more in you. The knowledge weighed heavily on him, and he despised himself because of it. To him, you were his world, his everything. Always. And hearing/seeing how hurt you were? It fucking destroyed him. So, he let himself cry. He allowed himself to feel those emotions for you, and he always had buried them deep down. Instead, he buried his face in his pillow and soaked it with his tears. His admiration for you would never falter, and neither would his protectiveness. He felt as if a part of him failed, and as a result, his guard was down. He felt the desire to love you and keep you safe increased, knowing that getting the chance to do so may destroy him inside and out.
And it didnât help that you lost your virginities to each other. Sharing such a unique, intimate moment with the person he always knew was the one, well, that just really fucked things. Literally. There wasn't a moment when he wasn't haunted by the memories of that night; it was a constant presence in his mind. And then he got with Padme, and you left for Virginia, and things got so lost and confused, and life moved on. You moved on. He tried to. But he searched for you in everyone and everything. Padme knew it, he knew it, fuck, his mother probably knew it! Heâs just thankful Ben doesnât know it. As much as he hated to say it, Anakin knew he would have gone back in time to do anything to change that moment. Because now youâre here, and his feelings have only intensified. Feelings that should have left a long, long time ago. And yet, as he cried himself to sleep, he continued to dream of you, just like every night before.
Please let me know if you wish to be tagged!

I need to take a moment to appreciate my husband because I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight unless I write something for him.
Imagine Jing Yuan constantly making up itty bitty excuses in order to see you. Fetch him this, make him some tea, oh would you look at that there's a meeting, why not join since you're already here? Oh come on, don't worry, no one will give you any funny looks if you're next to him!
People look and talk, of course they do. When was the last time the general ever took such interest in someone? His intentions are clearer than a spring sky, he is very much flirting with you. The gentle touches and his playful words are so hard to ignore that the Cloud Knights have several inside jokes because of their general. There's a catch though - you don't believe that Jing Yuan has feelings for you!
That is right. You are constantly explaining away his attitude and wandering hands as "Jing Yuan acting like Jing Yuan", nothing more, nothing less. The sheer amount of guards who give you a side eyed glance has long past the double digits because, good grief, how can a person be this blind?
Jing Yuan doesn't mind this. As a matter of fact, he takes great pleasure in your naivete.
Watching you crumble before him has become a favorite past time of his. Nothing makes him smile more than to see your resolve turn to mush the moment he takes the conversation in a direction which you are not prepared for. His touches are an odd mixture of being frequent enough that it would be odd if he hadn't touched you for more than 3 whole hours and so casual that one could be forgiven for mistaking you two as a pair. You brush him off with a huff, calling him all sorts of names as Jing Yuan laughs at your flustered being.
Times such as those it's so easy to forget the absolute power he holds over so many things and people.
Make no mistake dear. This is his way of claiming you, slowly but surely. Let the people speak, let them gossip.
Let them know that he set his sights on you.
No one would dare come near you if the public knew that you were his. If some fool ever even tried Jing Yuan would have no problem with staring down at them, the intensity of his gaze would send the message he was sending perfectly.
Leave if you wish to live.
He is a tactician at heart and right now, he is trying to map his way into your own.

farleigh start oxford bf brainrot is real
18+ under the cut! (manhandling, hand kink idk iâm sorry, afab reader, fingering, dirty talk, service top far)
or in which farleigh distracts his stressed girlfriend the way he knows best
you were in your room at oxford working on your laptop, deep in the throes of your thesis paper. you were so focused that you didnât even hear the door unlock nor your boyfriend huffing at the sight of your narrowed eyes. he always thought you looked so hot in your glasses, he wished you wore them more often. he knew you had been stewing away, your responses sporadic over the phone and with it being near the end of term you were rushing to perfect your work.
he could tell you that it was already perfect and you didnât need to reread it for the sixth time. farleigh, despite his academic record, was incredibly smart. he just never applied himself, until you slightly forced him to. you had goaded him into caring about his studies the only way you knew would work, by making it a competition.
âhey baby,â you jumped in the spot where you sat on your bed. your back was leaning against the bedframe and it hardly looked comfortable as you craned your neck to look at your laptop. your glasses slightly slipped down your nose from your jerking and farleigh cooed at the sight, pushing them back in place as he climbed onto the bed. your cheeks were warming from his attention already and your lips pouted at the scare heâd given you, you looked fucking delectable.
due to the state of accommodations at oxford, your bed was never big enough to fit both of you comfortably and you let him move you to his lap as he did dozens of times before. your back rested against his chest while your legs lay over his own, outstretched with your laptop on your lap.
âhey far, iâm almost done just reading it again.â you pressed a kiss to his cheek as you turned to look at him, he nodded at your words, hand splayed on your hips as he looked over your head at the words on your screen.
âread it out to me.â he could easily read the words but you didnât bother questioning him, youâd read to him before and he liked hearing your voice. you began from the beginning of the section hoping that would be enough context for him to understand. you didnât know that farleigh had practically memorized your paper and could see the words flashing in his head before you even said them. yet you kept reading.
his legs slowly spread, taking yours with him and you stuttered in your reading as you felt the laptop slip off your lap, you picked it up quickly so you could still read. you didnât let farleighâs motions distract you, he was just getting comfortable and you clasped your legs together again. farleigh regrettably realized you had no idea what his intentions were, heâd have to be clearer. you were still reading constantly, the words all familiar to him as he pressed a open mouthed kiss to your neck, drawing a gasp from you. and then he bit at your neck, curling his head around the side of it to leave a mark where others could see. you stuttered again and farleigh could see your grip tighten on the laptop.
âfar youâre not listening.â it was a whisper, a departure from your reading and he hummed at your words, one hand snaking down your front to part your thighs. you shuddered in his hold as his cold signet ring grazed your bare skin, his fingers splayed on your thigh looking gigantic. you willed away images of all the times heâd put those large hands to use on you.
âi am, your voice is enough to drive me crazy baby.â you scoffed at his words, he was always so needy for you, you imagined if you wore a cardboard box and ski mask heâd have popped a boner from your eyes alone. you werenât looking especially sexy in your oversized hoodie and loose shorts.
âyouâre sick.â he huffed a laugh at your words, you both knew this was the least unsavory turn-on both of you had expressed. he hadnât missed how you stiffened as his hands roamed your body.
âjust let me make you feel good, keep reading it helps to spot errors.â he knew you wouldnât find any, but it served his purpose. if he could hear you stutter and gasp while reading in that stern academic voice he might just see god.
âo-okay.â you conceded, and he deftly stripped you of the shorts youâd likely stole from his closet. he groaned at the sight of your pussy, heâd have to steal his shorts back if he knew you were wearing them without underwear. you hissed as cool air hit your sensitivity, goosebumps rising on your skin.
âso pretty, always so pretty.â he murmured and the vibrations rumbled your chest, you barely had time to continue reading before he was licking his own fingers and spreading the saliva on your folds. your legs were spread wide and his own were caging them. you started reading again, long fingers sliding saliva and cool air making it feel all the more sharp. you hissed as his thumb found your clit, grinding slowly as a finger teased your hole.
you knuckles were turning white as you continued to read, a gasp breaking your vocation as the thick finger pressed into you. his thumb combined with the feeling of his now hard cock pressed against you, made you get slick easily. his finger slid into your wet heat, curling up to where he knew you wanted him.
âone must wonder if Kant-fuck Farleigh!â you moaned as he fucked into you fast and hard, the obscene sound of your pussy filled the room, you clenched around his finger sucking him in. farleigh was losing his mind on how tight you were just around one of his fingers, you could take him to the knuckle, but your warm walls hugged his finger tightly. he slipped another into you, earning another moan from you.
âso fucking tight, you canât even take my fingers how will you ever take my cock?â he punctuated his question with another harsh thrust, you were grinding down on his knuckles as your slick slipped down his hands. you whined at his words, one hand gripping his hand now as the other continued to hold your laptop for dear life. you steeled yourself as best as you could and kept reading, the background noise of your wetness making your cheeks burn. you were so wet farleigh was fighting every urge to flip you around and devour you. if you ever put down your laptop maybe he wouldâve.
his fingers curled against the front of your walls, his thumb resumed his ministrations and fucked you deep and intentional. you were sure you had never been so fucked out from just his fingers and you were now stuttering through every sentence.
âoh shut the fuck up.â farleigh had had enough, prying the laptop from your hold quite easily with his free hand sticking his fingers into your mouth. you groaned at the intrusion of three large indexes pressing against your tongue, you began to grind against his hand as a third finger teased your entrance. it was your last straw finally giving in and you sucked on his fingers like it was his dick, sloppy and desperate. farleigh twitched against your back at feeling of you grabbing his hand with both of yours and forcing him further down your throat.
his stupid large fingers bullied your cervix as his thumb rubbed vicious circles along your clit, your mind was numb as his third finger slipped inside and stretched you deliciously. you would definitely have to change your sheets after this, a steady stream of slick had been dripping down your ass. the overstimulation became too much, you were so close and farleigh knew it he was keeping you on the edge as he moved away from the spot you needed him most.
your legs threatened to clamp and he slipped his hand from your hold, to pin one of your thighs open. you had properly drenched them and it made his hold a little difficult but he managed. âstupid girl, so eager to come. i thought you wanted to work?â he muttered harshly into your ear and you groaned, you could tell he was enjoying this from how rock solid he felt against your back. your drool had fallen out of your lips and the emptiness made your tears prick so you craned your neck to kiss him. he gave you what you wanted instantly, letting you suck his tongue and you bounced fervently on his fingers.
finally when he could feel your tears wetting his own cheek, he hammered against the fleshy spot against your sopping walls and a string snapped inside of you. you jolted in his hold, gasping against his mouth as you jerked away and you squirted onto the sheets in front of you. the sheets definitely would be changed now. you had never done it before and it felt like a pressure lifted off your shoulders as heat flooded your system. you squirmed as he continued to fuck you through it, pulling as much as he could from you until a puddle formed on your sheets. you were twitching and whining for him to stop. releasing his grasp on your legs and removing his fingers he let you curl in on yourself.
âthat was so fucking hot, weâre doing it again.â he licked his fingers clean, humming at the sweet taste of you and you stiffened at the sound. farleigh might as well have been sucking a lollipop if you didnât know any better.
âfarleigh i have to-âyou started to pick up your laptop, it had fallen to off the bed and he pulled you back into his lap as if youâd tried to walk out the door.
âi love you baby but you are going to lose your mind if you try to improve upon perfection.â he cut you off, tapping yourcheek to draw your gaze to him and you could smell your ichor on him. you found his eyes were sincere and it only added to your confusion. he could see the cogs turning in your head, his eyes flashed in amusement from how unaware you were. you were the smartest person heâd ever met and you had no idea. âyou were about to cite Foucault right? i know your paper as well as i know her,â he patted your pussy making you wince, âtrust me when i say no amount of time will make you find a flaw. let me distract you.â your eyes glazed over from his compliments, it was rare for him to so genuinely praise your intelligence since you were always competing.
âyou mean it?â you let him pull you over him by your waist, his warm hands eased your hoodie off your frame as you looked into his eyes from above. you were lying on top of him, naked save for your bra and still talking about your paper. you would be the death of him.
âiâm serious baby, youâre overthinking it.â one of his hands cupped your cheek, swirling patterns of comfort into your skin as you found adoration in his warm brown eyes. you loved when he called you that, when he called you his in any way really. you both loved each other endlessly but farleigh was still so private and enigmatic you wondered if you would ever know him like he knew you. you could feel him against you, painfully hard and fully clothed. you were again overthinking, a new victim for your mind.
âi love you, please distract meâ you resigned, resting your forehead against his as he unclasped your bra and finally gave in to the desire burning through him all day.

For Eddie's whole life people had said he looked like his dad. He hated it, he didn't want to look like his dad , he didn't want to be anything like his dad. He didn't want his nose or his eyes or his chin, he didn't want to know how to hotwire a car or run from police.
He wished he looked like his mum, he wished he had her strawberry blonde hair or her green eyes or her freckles. He wished he knew how to make bird calls or paint the sunrise. He wished people looked at him and saw his mum and not a criminal.
Wayne wished Eddie could've grown up without the influence of his brother. He wished he could've taken Mary and Eddie and taken them far away. Maybe then Mary would still be here, maybe Eddie wouldn't look older than he is.
Eddie didn't look in the mirror anymore, the vision of his dad growing clearer as he aged. Soon Eddie would be the age his dad was when he was born, how could someone his age hurt a little kid?
He's meeting Steve's parents today, well not the Harrington's, Steve's real parents in all the good parts of the word. Joyce and Hopper have invited everyone over now that the house is finished and Steve wants to introduce him as his boyfriend.
It terrifies Eddie, he's had runins with Hopper before, what if hopper tells Steve he shouldn't see Eddie? He's heard a lot about Joyce and knows she's sweet and kind but what if she thinks he's a bad influence on Steve and the kids? What if she thinks he's just like his dad?
Steve holds his hand as he introduces them. Joyce smiles and pulls Eddie into a hug which surprises him but not as much as what she says.
"You look just like you uncle."
Eddie had never heard that before but it fills his heart with joy. He's not his dad.
"You know, Wayne went to school with Jim and I, lovely boy, almost took me to prom, how's he doing?"
Steve watches fondly as Eddie and Joyce talk about a younger Wayne. Eddie isn't like his dad at all, he's like his uncle, sweet, kind and full of love.

The Blacksmith
Yan Deity HCs [Request]
Tw: Self Harm
-
- Blacksmith isn't what most would gods would consider being one of their own. For the better part of its existence, The Blacksmith has functioned akin to a machine rather than his own individual self. Acting on orders given by those above him was all he knew until the punishment of gods through extensive torture was shunned upon by many. Blacksmith was free to do as they wished, but they're generally stumped to the workings of society outside of what their created purpose.
- Love as humans and even some gods express it is unfamiliar to the Blacksmith. Their creators greatest mistakes was teaching it the painful side of love without the innocence of something puee. He was instilled with the knowledge that any sign of weakness should not be allowed. That being said, a strange warm fills its chest whenever you treat it kindly. He does not deserve the gesture- Are you toying with it because you truly believe he is beneath you?
"My Lord.... I do not understand the purpose of this so called "hug" you have bestowed upon me.... I did not ask you to stop."
- There is no room for error in Blacksmith's eyes. As he adapts to the mortal understanding of affection, Blacksmith showers you with gifts and gestures to prove they are willing to even the playing field with you. If he brings you something you are allergic to or simply not a fan of its wise to keep sharp objects from him until you can calm him down and assure him it was a common mistake.
"May the spill of my blood grant me your forgiveness.. Had I heard you clearer I would not have made this mistake."
"It's cool, dude- Pizza is pizza."
- The Blacksmith is immortal and heals relatively quickly, which is why if you bother to patch them up when they do get hurt their brain just kinda shortcuts for a while. You are the mortal in the situation. Those supplies would be better saved for you. Is this what it means to care for another out of the generosity of one's heart(s)? Is this love? Logically, when you are injured they must return the sentiment.
"Please hold still, My Lord. The cast is almost complete."
"Isn't this a bit excessive? It was only a splinter."
"... Negative."
- The Blacksmith has a hidden profession of making music boxes. It is a tad embarrassed due to the macabre nature of the other objects it creates, but as they learn more if your world it develops a small obsession with the melodies they produce and their mechanisms. He leaves ones he is most proudest of in your bedroom - expecting you to somehow have no clue how it ended up there.
- Blacksmith can easily remove their helmet - they just don't want to. He has been described as beautiful by gods who have met it after the incident due to their eyes, but as for the appearance of its face as a whole no-one knows. It wears the iron maiden to atone for its sin of nearly condemning an innocent god, but it also believes those gods were liars and that its face will disgust you. If you argue back that are gorgeous regardless of if you've seen it or not, The Blacksmith has no choice but to take your word as truth since they trust you not to lie to them.
- Enjoys classical music. Cannot dance to save it's own skin, but would greatly admire your dancing no matter your skill level.
- One rule you must keep in mind is to not give Blacksmith access to the Internet. He will absorb modern lingo and relationship advice like a sponge. It confuses him greatly, but considering you are from this time it might be the key to winning your heart.
"Have a good day at work...Pookie."
