The first thing I said when I saw Rum Tum Tugger for the very first time was “Cat dick in my face? I’d rather die”, and I stand by that to this day (+ some doodles under the cut)

“-and every year after that, we always had double chocolate chip cookies instead of regular chocolate chip. Made me stand out at the school bakes sales, too! And I would beg and beg and beg my mom to make them before any other sweets-”
“Got my stomach grumblin’ over here now, love.” Simon cuts off your rambling with a loving chuckle. The first winter’s snow began falling from the sky in London that morning, and you’d been eager to tell your lover about the traditions you’d had growing up around this time of year.
“Well imagine how I felt, Si!” You say with a giggle, patting his stomach in emphasis. “I swear, it’s become a true Pavlovian response, I see the first snowflakes and I instantly start craving those cookies again. Like when I was little…”
Simon sees the melancholic smile playing across your lips, and he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that first chance he gets, he’ll be ringing your mum to get said recipe from her.
And if you walk into your shared flat a few days later, the smell of burnt something wafting through the air, fire alarm beeping incessantly, coming upon a flustered looking 6’4” behemoth of a man swatting a flowery dish towel through the air in attempt to dissipate the smoke coming from the oven, well, the sentiment behind your lover wanting to surprise you with your favourite treat from childhood is a thousand times sweeter than the cookie itself.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Ooh, look at those ones over there!” You exclaim, tightening your grip on Simon’s arm. You’re both strolling through a local farmers market on a dreary Sunday afternoon with nothing better to do. Your free hand points towards a stall selling beautifully intricate bouquets of flowers. “They’re so pretty for this late in the season.”
Simon is glancing over at the stall, minutely nodding in agreement, before his gaze shifts back to the crowd.
“Want one?”
“Oh, no, that’s okay. Just thought they looked nice. We don’t need any.” You say, leading him past the stall, not noticing when he glances back over his shoulder to remember the name written at the top of the display.
Once back home, upon hearing your gasp of surprise followed by what he recognizes now as your excited squeal, he smirks to himself in the other room, knowing you’ve stumbled upon the bouquet he had delivered during your nap.
What you don’t know is that he’s already set it up so that you’ll be receiving a new fresh set of flowers every week now, delivered straight to your front steps.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Really wasn’t that bad this time around, promise.” You mumble into his firm chest, his muscular arms holding you there as you snuggle on the couch. He got back from a two week deployment last night, and you’re still catching him up on everything he missed. “I made a point of going outside everyday, for a change of scenery at least.”
“Tha’s good, lovie.” He whispers, running his digits through the strands of your hair, careful not to tug any time he runs into knot, instead gently trying to comb it out himself.
“Not like I was all alone, anyhow.” You say with a small giggle, biting your lip. He finds himself answering with his own lighthearted chuckle, sitting up straighter to glance at the table over your shoulder. “Gave me something to look forward to each day, feeding the lil’ guy.”
“Was hoping it’d be a nice surprise for ya. Not another chore…”
“Oh, Goldie’s not a chore.” You laugh, swatting at Simon’s chest. You also take the time to glance over at the goldfish in question, swimming in the small circular fish bowl that Simon had somehow snuck into the flat the day before he left. He hated the idea of leaving you alone all the time, never knowing when he’d have a chance to speak on the phone, and he didn’t want to burden you with a larger, more high maintenance animal like a dog or cat. And so, Goldie was brought home.
“Although, I’m worried maybe he’s getting lonely when I’m out of the house. Might have to get him a friend.”
Simon doesn’t even try to hide the corny grin that spreads across his face.
“Have I ever told you the joke about the two goldfish in a tank?”

learning curve part 4



alexia putellas x reader [& r's nephew] will has a better day at school, and r continues to spiral. alexia tries to help. will takes a rough fall at the park. angst & fluff!
—
Will’s backpack thumped against his back as he sprinted towards you and Alexia. Your girlfriend had insisted on joining you in picking Will up for school, just as concerned as you were about him having another bad day. He zoomed towards the two of you, and just as you were about to bend down and open your arms for him, he called Alexia’s name, his gaze fixed on her.
“Ale, Ale I did it!” He shouted excitedly, leaping into her arms as she lifted him into the air. “I made a friend!”
“Of course you did!” Alexia replied. “I’m so proud of you.”
Will beamed, squirming in Alexia’s arms as he reached for you. You smiled back, brushing off the anxiety you were now feeling wash over you in favor of holding Will tight against you.
“So proud of you.” You echoed, more than relieved at the difference in how Will had come out of school today versus the day before.
“His name is Jordi, and he’s 5 like me and he likes dinosaurs! And he only speaks Spanish and-and Cat-a-lan but I used my Spanish words and asked him to be my friend and he said si! And si means yes!” Will rambled, once again squirming, this time to be let down. You placed him on the ground and he reached for both your hand and Alexia’s, still rambling away about Jordi and his cool blue shoes
You and Alexia exchanged amused glances, starting in the direction of the car. Will was practically skipping in between the two of you, until Alexia asked a question.
“Mi niño, did you understand your teacher more?”
At this, Will’s forehead crinkled, and his skipping slowed to a walk. “No. She talks really fast. And I only know some of the words she says.”
“That’s okay! It’ll take time to adjust.” You reassured him. “The important thing is that you try your best.”
“Sí, cariño. And maybe speaking more Spanish at home could help?” Alexia added, opening the back passenger door and lifting Will into his seat. You watched as she buckled him in, at how her brows furrowed in concentration and how she raised a hand to try to smooth the messy way his hair sat. There was a glint in her eye as she shut the door and chastly kissed you on the lips, a glint that told you she had an idea.
—
Will had been exhausted from his day at school, falling asleep on the couch even as he insisted he didn’t need a nap. Less than twenty minutes after you tucked him in under a blanket on the couch with a snack, he was out cold. You’d retreated to the bedroom to fold laundry, and to try to get your emotions under control.
It wasn’t that you were bothered that Will and Alexia were bonding, not at all. It made your heart melt, made everything feel warm in a way you’d never experienced before. Alexia was perfect, everything you could have ever asked for in a partner you were raising a child with. There was just something… something about how easily Alexia loved that made you doubt yourself. Alexia was whole, and you were…well, if not broken, missing a piece. What she’d grown up with, you’d never experienced. She knew family, and you didn’t. And you weren’t sure how you could be enough for Will when you didn’t know how to be a part of a family.
“Mi amor?”
You jumped, dropping the shirt you were trying to fold back on the bed. You turned, finding Alexia standing in the doorway, her face twisted with concern. She moved closer, reaching for you.
“What’s up?” Forcing a smile, you allowed your girlfriend to grab one of your hands and cradle your cheek with the other.
Alexia didn’t reply right away, her eyes flitting over your face as she studied you. “Are you okay? You seem… I don’t know, something seems off.”
You allowed yourself to lean into her, pressing your face into the cozy sweatshirt she was wearing. She wrapped her arms around you, kissing the side of your head a few times.
“I’m okay. I think I’m just trying to adjust.”
Alexia hummed her understanding, her hug still tight as she spoke. “That is understandable, completely. It is a lot.”
“I’m just so… so worried about him and all of this and–”
“Tia?” You and Alexia broke apart, finding Will in the doorway where Alexia had been standing just moments ago.
He had woken, apparently, now shuffling adorably into your bedroom where you and Alexia stood. He was sleepy, rubbing his eye with his fist.
“Hi bud,” You smiled, feeling Alexia’s eyes on you even as you crouched down to Will’s level and opened your arms. He moved closer, stopping just short of giving you a hug.
“What’s for dinner?” He wondered.
You laughed, standing and ruffling his hair. “I’m not sure–”
“Dinner will be here in a little bit.” Alexia interrupted, winking at you mysteriously and heading back out to the living room.
Will looked at you, confused, and you shrugged, moving to follow Alexia.
Alexia’s idea entered the house with a flurry of activity, both Eli and Alba carrying two bags each, containing what you assumed to be dinner.
Alexia lifted Will into her arms, the boy growing a bit shy as she reminded him to say hello. You greeted Eli and Alba, too, grabbing some of the bags and leading them into the kitchen.
“Sorry about the mess, I would have cleaned, but Ale didn’t tell me anyone was coming.” The kitchen wasn’t really messy, but it wasn’t clean enough to meet your standards for guests.
Eli tutted, unloading several dishes from one of the bags as Alba disappeared into the living room. “I told her to tell you! She does not listen, she never has. Anyway, mija, it is not messy in here, do not give it another thought.”
You smiled at her gratefully, allowing her to pull you into a hug. Eli was a good hugger, made you feel relaxed in a way you normally didn’t when you had guests over. Whatever she’d brought with her smelled incredible, and you weren’t sure you could put into words how relieved you were to not have to worry about cooking dinner.
“Tia!” Will shouted from the living room, his voice much too loud for the indoors but he sounded so excited you didn't mind.
“Go!” Eli encouraged, gently pushing you in the direction of the living room. It always amazed you, how overwhelmingly kind Eli always was to you. She’d been that way from the first time she’d met you, and it had all clicked, that day. Alexia was the kind, perfect person she was because of the people that had raised her. Eli treated you like her own even when you and Alexia had just gotten together, and now, she was bringing dinner and doting over Will like he was her own, too.
Walking into the living room, a small stuffed dinosaur was waved in your direction, Will skipping around excitedly with his new toy in hand. “Tia! Look what Alba got me!”
Unlike the first time he’d met Alexia’s family, Will was already completely out of his shell, the quiet shy version of your nephew nowhere to be seen. Alexia and Alba were sitting on the sofa next to each other, sporting matching grins and you couldn’t help but think about how much they looked alike. The same smile, the same eyes, the same mannerisms. It reminded you of Leo, of how everyone always asked if you were twins. Pushing away the pang of hurt at the reminder, you bent down to get a closer look at Will’s new toy.
“Wow! That’s so cool, buddy. Did you say thank you?”
Will nodded, his brown hair flopping onto his forehead as he did so.
“He said thank you in Spanish.” Alexia said proudly.
“I did! Alba said she’ll help me with my Spanish, Tia!” Will informed you, grabbing your sleeve and pulling on it as if he couldn’t contain his excitement. He looked so genuinely happy, you could have cried. You settled instead on giving Alba a meaningful look and mouthing thank you. Alba just nodded, gesturing to her sister next to her, and you knew then what Alexia’s plan had been all along. Alba was a teacher, could help Will with his Spanish much more effectively than either of you could. Your girlfriend… was one of the most thoughtful, intentional, and kind people you’d ever met, and as you returned her smile, too, you made a note to tell her so later.
Alexia gestured you over to her as Alba headed into the kitchen to help her mother, but you hesitated.
“I should help your Mami–”
“No! You two stay right in there!” Eli shouted from the kitchen.
Alexia shook her head fondly, wrapping an arm around you as you joined her on the couch.
“Next time you invite people over, tell me in advance.” You murmured, barely audible as you felt Alexia tense next to you.
“Sí, of course. Sorry. I wanted it to be a surprise but I should have told you. I will not do it again.” She promised, squeezing you closer to her and pressing a kiss into your hair.
“Thank you.” For whatever reason, you hadn't been very mad at Alexia to begin with, recognizing that she’d just been trying to do something nice to take some of the pressure off you for an evening. You knew that, and you believed her when she said she wouldn’t do it again.
The house felt so full of life and love, it was easy to let your mind wander to dinner alone with Leo at the kitchen table. He’d always tried his best to cook if no one else was doing it. He also always made sure you ate your vegetables, even when he was just a few years older than you and hated them just as much.
Alexia nudged you, and you forced the memories away, following her gaze over to your nephew. Will was sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table, just admiring his new dinosaur.
“He is so sweet.” Alexia murmured, pulling you in closer to her as you both watched him. You hummed your agreement, marvelling at how excited he was over another plush dinosaur. He already had dozens, but he treated each new one like a special, one of a kind, toy. Will was so thoughtful, and though you knew it didn’t make much sense given the short time he’d been living here, you liked to think of it as bits of Alexia rubbing off on him.
“The sweetest, most wonderful boy.” You replied, gesturing Will closer as he looked up and blushed, realizing you were talking about him. He brought his dinosaur over, leaning into you as you kissed the top of his head.
“Does your new friend have a name?” You asked, and Will gasped, realizing he hadn’t, in fact, named it yet.
“It has to be a good one. What about… Albert?” Alexia suggested, her lip twitching as she imagined her sister’s dismay at the name. Will didn’t dignify that idea with a response, which made you almost laugh.
The small boy looked intently at the stuffed animal for a moment, staring into its eyes as if waiting for it to say something. Finally, he looked up with a grin, squishing the dinosaur to his chest in a hug.
“Franklin!” Will said excitedly. “His name is Franklin.”
“Franklin!” Alba cheered, appearing and holding out her hand for Will to take. “Un nombre perfecto. Do you want to help me set the table?”
“Yeah!” Will replied, getting to his feet and grabbing Alba’s hand. You and Alexia watched incredulously, as he normally dragged his feet and complained when he had to set the table.
“Now, cari, what do we need for dinner?”
“Umm… we need… platos!”
As Will and Alba around the corner and into the kitchen, you leaned further into your girlfriend, inhaling deeply.
“She’s so sweet to do this. And your Mami bringing dinner. I just… they’re so thoughtful. They didn’t have to do all this.”
Alexia frowned, tucking your hair behind your ear and tilting your face in her direction. “Of course they did. This is what family does, amor.”
Something about the way your girlfriend was looking at you, like she couldn’t understand how you didn’t understand. This is what family does. You weren’t sure what a family did or didn’t do because you’d never really had one. Mortifyingly, your eyes began to sting with tears and you tried to stand, blinking rapidly.
“Hey, hey, come back.” Alexia insisted, tugging on your hand until you sat back down next to her. “What is it?”
You sighed, your chest feeling tight, and Alexia’s concern only seemed to grow, her eyebrows pulling together and her lips pursing.
“I’m just not used to this. Having people that care.” You explained shakily, your voice breaking. It was a massive understatement, but you weren’t sure how to put everything else into words. The midfielder frowned further, her thumb brushing a stray tear off your cheek. You leaned into her hand, into her comfort, even though you weren’t sure you were worth it.
“Well, you will need to get used to it. Because they care, and I care. You have a family, both you and Will have a family.” Alexia insisted, her voice so earnest you could have cried again. Instead you just buried your face in her neck, feeling her arms snake around your back and hold you tight.
Alexia was always so convincing, your fears and anxieties almost all went away. Almost.
—
Alexia could understand that you needed some time to yourself. It made sense; the transition from living in a relatively quiet house with just her was quite different from living with a 5 year old. As Will got more comfortable, he grew more energetic and loud, and it was a lot to adjust to. You’d seemed on edge all morning; something was clearly off, and Alexia assumed you just needed time alone, in the quiet.
So, with a soft kiss to your cheek, Alexia informed you that she was taking Will to the park for an hour, and she wanted you to relax while she was gone.
Alexia was right. Something was off. But the issue wasn’t that you needed time to yourself. You were… drowning in insecurity and doubt. It had been lingering in the background ever since Will came to live with you, but in the past 24 hours it had grabbed you by the throat. You didn’t want to feel the way you felt; you didn’t want to be jealous of your girlfriend who was just being an incredible person and treating your nephew as if he was her own.
But here you were. Fighting back tears as you curled up on the couch, thinking about how you were failing. Alexia was the only thing keeping you and Will afloat. You weren’t enough, and you weren’t sure how you ever thought you could be. Alexia knew love and family and warmth, and those were all things you’d only gotten a glimpse of as you’d grown up. You’d learned independence, learned to be quiet. You’d learned not to show weakness, to push your feelings down until they exploded.
What came naturally to Alexia was not instinctual for you. When Will cried, you never really knew what to say. When he refused to eat his vegetables, you didn’t know how to get him to eat them. When he’d had a nightmare, you hadn’t even woken up. Alexia had. Alexia always knew what to say and what to do. It made sense that Alexia was better at this than you, but it wasn’t fair to Will that he was stuck with one functional, emotionally intelligent adult, and you.
You weren’t sure how to be better for him, how to be what he needed. You weren’t sure what you’d done to deserve Alexia in your life. Most of all, you weren’t sure how to keep going when you were so confident that you were doing everything completely and entirely wrong.
Wallowing in self pity on the couch for an hour seemed like the best possible option, though, given the circumstances. At least with Will safely with Alexia, you could be sure you wouldn’t mess anything up.
Alexia, meanwhile, was trying to decide whether or not she could still do the monkey bars at the playground. She was pretty sure her feet would touch the ground, but if she bent her knees… it might be possible. Watching a kid play at the park was pretty boring, it turned out. She kept an eye on Will as her mind wandered, his soft blue quarter zip making him easy to spot. She’d found herself really enjoying buying him the most adorable clothes.
With little nikes, small sweatshirts, and everything in between filling his closet, Will had more than enough choice in his wardrobe. He always seemed to gravitate to the softer things, which is how he found himself a quarter zip that was all soft and cuddly on the outside. He thought it made his hugs better.
Will was an only child, and pretty independent as a result. He could entertain himself, play by himself and be completely content with just his imagination to keep him company. He’d darted up the stairs of the playset as soon as Alexia had let go of his hand, already imagining the wood chips under his feet as hot lava and the other kids as monsters. But then, a rather tall ‘monster’ bumped into him right at the top of the stairs, and sent Will tumbling down into the ‘hot lava’.
With a yelp, Will landed in the wood chips in a heap. Alexia saw the whole thing from her spot on the bench next to the playset, yet she forced herself to remain frozen for a moment, waiting to see if Will would pop up uninjured.
When he did sit up, though, he was cradling his arm close to his chest, tears already beginning to stream down his cheeks as he looked around frantically for help.
“Alexia!” He cried, ignoring the hurried apologies of the boy that had pushed him and the stares of the other kids that had stopped to stare. Alexia was off her bench in a heartbeat, sprinting across the playground to the small boy.
“Hey, hey, I’m here. You’re okay.” Alexia soothed, crouching down next to him, hands hovering anxiously over his small body. “Tell me what hurts.”
“My-my arm.” Will sobbed, turning his whole body away from Alexia when she reached out to take a look. “Don’t touch! I want my Tia!”
Alexia was practically frozen with fear. Did she call you? Her Mami? An ambulance? The military? She didn’t know how bad this was, didn’t know how to help Will when he was so insistent that she not touch him. The poor kid was hysterical, gasping for breath in between his cries. Alexia forced herself to focus; she could call you in a moment. Right now, she was the only one here and that meant she had to know what to do. There was no other option.
“Cariño, look at me.” Alexia instructed softly. Will peaked at her, still warily holding his arm close to his chest. “I will not touch it, bebé, I promise. I just want you to look at me and try to take a deep breath, vale?”
Will hesitated, but the frantic feeling in his chest, like he couldn’t get enough air in, made him turn further towards Alexia. He did as she instructed, forcing himself to take a deep breath. Then another. And another. Slowly, his chest stopped stuttering and he didn’t feel so scared anymore. Alexia was with him; there was nothing to be scared of.
“Hurts.” He whimpered, allowing Alexia to gently brush the tears of his cheeks with her thumbs.
“I know it does. You’re being so brave, so so brave. Can you let me see your arm, sweetheart?”
Will frowned, leaning away from her once more. “No. Don’t touch.”
Alexia suppressed a sigh. Though she wanted to scoop him into her arms and head straight home, or maybe to the hospital, she didn’t. “I don’t have to touch it–”
“No.” Will cried stubbornly. “I want my Tia.”
Though the tears had never really stopped, Alexia could see them gathering in the boy’s eyes rapidly once again. The park was only a block away from home.
“Okay, bebé. Should I call your Tia and have her come here? Or should we go to her?”
Will didn’t even think about it, sniffling as he wiped his nose with his sleeve. “Wanna go home, please.”
Nodding, Alexia got to her feet, wincing at the feeling of woodchips falling from where they’d embedded themselves in her skin. She had no idea how she was going to get Will home when he wouldn’t let her touch him, but as soon as he got to his feet, his face paled. Silently, pleadingly, he lifted his good arm and looked up at Alexia. She didn’t hesitate, carefully lifting him, taking care to keep his injured arm away from her body, so it wouldn’t be jostled or bumped. She’d taken a single step in the direction of home before Will gave a soft cry at the movement. It was going to be a long walk home.
—
Alexia’s text was brief.
Will fell, hurt his arm. Bringing him home. Might need a doctor.
Brief, yet sent a chill down your spine and a wave of anxiety washing over you. The park wasn’t far, and you hadn’t seen the text right away, so Alexia should be arriving with Will… any minute. Sure enough, you could hear his loud sobs from down the hall as soon as the elevator doors opened. You rushed to the door, throwing it open just as Alexia turned the corner, awkwardly holding a very squirmy Will in her arms. The fluorescent lighting of the hall made both Alexia and Will look oddly pale, though that could have just been the situation.
“Tia! I want my Tia!” Will whimpered, still holding his arm close to his body even as he tried to escape Alexia’s grasp. Your heart was racing as you took in the scene in front of you, panic and fear like you’d never felt it before squeezing your chest.
In the time it had taken for Alexia to walk from the park back to your building and up to the apartment, Will’s pain had seemed to only increase, every step torture as she fought back tears of her own. Every step, every cry from Will was tearing at her heart.
“She’s right here, cariño.” Alexia promised, walking closer and carefully placing Will into your outstretched arms. You were careful not to bump his arm, and he curled into you immediately. His small body shook with sobs as you carried him back into the apartment.
“It hurts, Tia, it hurts.”
“I know, baby. You’re being so brave.”
You settled on the couch with him sideways on your lap, his tears soaking into the fabric of your shirt. Completely at a loss of what to do, you looked helplessly at your girlfriend. Somehow, though, she seemed more panicked than you, wringing her hands together as she sat on the edge of the wooden coffee table.
“Okay. Okay,” you said, trying to calm yourself and your nephew down. Leaning back you tilted Will’s face up to face you. His eyes were red and puffy, her lip quivering sadly as he cried. “Can I see your arm, Will?”
Very hesitantly, Will nodded, finally extending his arm away from his chest. His hand was trembling, but there was no obvious bruising or swelling, no odd bumps that would indicate he’d broken something. Alexia leaned closer, until her head was almost bumping into yours. You waited until she was done studying Will’s arm, and she looked up at you. No words were needed for you to know Alexia had come to the same conclusion that you had.
“Can you wiggle all your fingers for me?” Will did as you asked, moving his fingers and then rotating his wrist. There was only a small wince as he did so, but his range of motion seemed completely fine.
“I don’t think it’s broken, bud.” You declared.
Will sniffled. “It doesn’t feel broken,” he said weakly. You and Alexia smiled at him, Alexia’s hand gently running through his hair as he leaned in closer to rest his head against your chest.
“Does it still hurt a lot? Or does it feel better now?” Alexia asked.
“Better.”
At this, you finally relaxed, letting out a deep sigh. “I’m so glad. That was pretty scary, huh?”
Will nodded into you, his hand grabbing a fistfull of your shirt. He seemed so small in that moment, and the feeling to protect this little boy was so strong you could have fallen over. You held him tighter, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
“But you’re okay now. We’ve got you, buddy.”
Alexia hummed her agreement, tucking a blanket around Will as he relaxed into you, his eyes fluttering shut. It was no surprise the day had tired him out, and you were more than happy to act as a pillow for him if it meant he wasn’t in pain and he wasn’t crying any more. Alexia slid onto the couch, pulling you into her as Will began to drift off.
It was only an hour later, once Will had completely fallen asleep in your arms, that you had a second to breathe and think. Alexia’s chest rose and fell rhythmically and you allowed it to calm you, with your body reclined back into hers. Her breath was warm against your ear, one of her hands gently rubbing up and down Will’s back.
“He just wanted you.” She murmured finally. The sun was about to dip below the horizon, a soft orange light washing over the room, making the moment feel even cozier. You were fighting sleep yourself when Alexia spoke, but you turned your head slightly, confused. “When he got hurt. He just wanted you. All the way from the playground back here, he just wanted you, amor.”
You weren’t really sure what to do with that, or what her point was. It made you feel better, at least, that Will had wanted you, not that you were happy he’d gotten hurt. But you didn’t understand what Alexia was trying to get you to see, especially because you hadn’t your insecurities with her.
She seemed to sense your confusion, kissing your temple gently. “He loves you. You are so important to him, and you are doing a great job. You must be, if he relies on you so much, no? When he was hurt and scared, he wanted you to make him feel safe. He needs you.”
You felt a tear slide down your cheek as you took in her words, letting your head fall back onto her shoulder. Alexia could read you like a book, and you shouldn’t have been surprised to know that she’d known what was going on in your head all along. That’s what made her such a perfect partner to do this with, you supposed. Will loved her, yes. But she loved you, too, and she always knew what you needed to hear.
“Thank you.” You whispered back finally. It was stark, the contrast between how you’d felt before Will and Ale had arrived home to now. With Will soundly asleep in your arms, and Alexia holding you close to her, everything felt less overwhelming.
Laying there, watching the sun set over the city, everything felt an inch easier. Step by step, Alexia had said that the day you brought Will home. One day at a time. With your family.

Hard Stoned Gallery Dance

A/n: This was made like monthhsss ago, so I’m posting it as forgiveness for the lack of work i’ve been doing.
Pairing: [ Monster!Twst ] Malleus Draconia x Reader
Summary: Dancing is a beautiful past time, yet such a pretty act is ruined, when Malleus decides to let his affections for you run rampant. (Wc: 1.9k)
Warnings: Kissing & Licking, Murder/Death of Minor Characters (Not explicit), Possessive traits, Clinginess bordering obsession, a little blood, Biting/Marking
Your head leans itself on the rough surface of the stone wall. You’ve finished your objective for the day, so giving yourself this break is well deserved, ten minutes free of Crowley’s nagging is still freedom despite how it sounds. Your eyes can’t help but look up at the pretty blue sky, it stings to look at but you don’t mind the pain, seeing something so clear is worth it.
That cloud looks like a cat.
…
The taste of indulgence is quickly stripped out your grasp when the familiar sound of dragging stone resonates through the air, grating to your ears.
“Child of hunters, what may you be doing here?” His rock-hard face interrupts your view of the sky, green solid eyes look down on you as he casts a shadow on your visage.
Despite his body being made of pure stone, his eyes give a faint green glow, as if a bioluminescent moss grew there. His hair, his wings, and even his tail freely flowed as if he were just a regular Dragon hybrid. But alas, he is some sort of statue— Oh no not a statue, in his words a gargoyle.
You forgot about the difference one time and in turn, he gave you a 3-hour lecture on the difference between a grotesque and other gargoyles. Never again…
“I’m trying to hide from my boss.”
“Shall I be rid of him for you?” His mouth forms a little o as a small puff of a green flame releases from him.
“That would be a bad idea, I’d lose my source of income.” He quirks an eyebrow up at this., to be fair, you don’t think he has any clue what a “payday” is.
Despite his confusion, he lifts from his bowing form, a hand reaching out towards you in all its mossy glory. You’ve known him long enough to know what he wants.
A dance.
You don’t try to hide your exasperation as you take his invitation, albeit a bit slow. His stone body quickly pulls you up and into him. With how much tamer his form is compared to other beasts you know, it’s hard to remember that he’s part dragon, and even worse is part of the only few monsters who know magic.
So as of right now, this marks your third time dancing with one of the worst monstrosities currently on the bounty list. No maybe not one of the worst… From what you remember from Crowley’s ramblings (which isn’t much since you tune him out when possible) he’s probably the most dangerous.
You get the basic idea, but you’ve never truly seen for yourself why he’s considered so terrible. Is he not just a glorified water spout? Compared to a Kraken and an Incubus, surely his damage isn’t so grand to be warranted as the biggest beast to hunt.
“You’ll always be welcomed in my castle, you would not be short of accommodations either.” his hand rests upon your waist, pulling you closer than need be. His invasion of personal space is akin to a parasite leeching off its host, but you let him feed of you. Whether it’s from fear or a bond, you’re not decided.
Your movements are sluggish at best, but you can still remember the basic steps in the dance, your foot sloppily setting itself down where it should be, the occasional step on stone happening once or twice though.
“Considering the current state it’s in… is that even safe for me to walk in…? It looks like one good shout and the bricks holding the place together will crumble apart…”
“That is just the disguise we give it, as to not alert others of our presence. For you though, I’m willing to make it stand out if it makes you happy.” The hand lying on your waist retracts itself as he takes his other clawed limb and twirls you around, falling back into position when the spin is done.
“… I’ll think about it.”
“I’ll wait as long as it takes.” You know he’s not lying about that. You can distantly recall when a certain mystery monster had told you the tale of a longing dragon who perched himself at the opening of his window to wait for a certain hunter's return.
“Yes, he was so determined to be the first one to greet you, why he even stayed sat at the window for 5 months. It was quite endearing hehe.”
“Doesn’t it take hundreds of years for you to erode? Maybe it’ll take me 50 years to decide, by then I’ll be old and grey and you’ll be perfectly fine.” You take a step forward before the gargoyle's grip on your body tightens significantly, shrieking when he suddenly dips you down unprepared.
His freed hand takes your other arm and lifts it up to rest on his shoulder. Green sparkles are faintly flying around his lips as he slowly leans into the soft skin on your arm. His face leans in and presses chaste kisses on your limb, the gentle texture of his mouth catching you off guard as it tickles your body. Now you get it, he must’ve cast a spell to temporarily soften his lips.
He had attempted to kiss you once without taking this precaution, in turn, you gave him a face filled with discomfort at the stone texture that kept peppering you.
You can still remember the hurt face he had on when he saw your dislike towards his affections.
On his ninth kiss, his forked tongue peeks out from his mouth, licking a stripe up your skin. He finally lifts you up after the assault on your arm, his face only a few inches away from your own. It would’ve been quite the romantic atmosphere, had your nose not catch a sharp smell, and a horrible wretched one at that.
“You could be on your last breath and I’d still wait for an answer. But I hope that won’t happen.”
“Who knows, I work a dangerous job.” what is it?
The both of you twirl in unison despite the lack of music, your bodies in tandem as they move to just the sound of your surroundings. Though, your body is a little more sluggish than his own.
That stench… Is too familiar.
Eventually, your last steps fade out as you stop in your tracks.
“Is something wrong dear hunter?” Your grip on his shoulder fastens, if he was human you’re sure you would’ve broken his shoulder.
“What did you do?”
A smile is lit on his lips, his head tilting to the side, giving you such an innocent look, like he did nothing wrong.
“Whatever are you talking about?”
“The smell… Iron… This whole time I thought it was just the smell of the forest. But…” You swiftly pull a dagger out from your side, throwing it past his shoulder, the tip of the steel piercing into what sounded like wood.
He doesn’t turn back, only continuing to smile at you, as if you’re the only existing thing here, or more accurately, the only thing he cares about.
The bark of the trunk splits in half, falling to the ground, revealing the source of the stench. The top of the tree isn’t green, it’s red and brown.
4 pairs of hands stick from the leaves.
“You… What did you do Malleus–?!“ he’s quick to twirl you again, his grip on you tighter than it’s ever been. Despite your protests, he continues dancing as if you hadn’t seen anything.
You’re suddenly stricken with the memory of your first meeting with the beast, blood coating his mouth when he looked at you, pure admiration when he had finally met the muse everyone spoke so dearly of.
“Malleus, you—!“
“Tell me, dear human, was it not you who spared me?” He dips you down. “Was it not you who saw a beaten beast and allowed him to live?” He lifts you up. “Even as you walked away with a piece of stone you let go of one who’s rendered thousands over the years,” he pulls you in. “Dead” every action with your body is harsh, but not enough to hurt you, never enough to hurt you.
Because why would he ever wish to harm you?
He’d much rather smother you in affection, even when you’re exerting all your energy to kill him as he hugs you.
“It’s because you…”
“Looked so human?” He continues to keep you close, impossibly so, your skin melting into his, not from fawness, but fear.
“How did you know-“
“You’ve spared so many of us because we made you feel something in the moment,” he must be referring to everyone else… The look you gave him is dazed, caught up in the thought of every other monster you let get away. His fingers cage your chin in between them. “But don’t forget what we are.” Sparkles fly, temporarily blinding you.
When you open your vision, you’re greeted by the sight of Malleus, with the appearance of what he looked like if he was human, or at least similar to a human.
His skin isn’t rough and solid, his breaths are warm, and his hair is soft and pretty rather than a soft moss.
His eyes are a nice green, a pretty green. A color you would’ve enjoyed more had he been a human. Such a lively color shouldn’t be backdropped by crimson, yet, it is.
Behind him, several other trees collapse on themself, revealing the other tops, the same as the tree you had just seen. Views of stray limbs and vaguely familiar faces of hunters invade your mind, panic setting as you finally realize a question you should’ve asked long ago…
Why was Malleus so far from his castle?
Before you can react, your ears hear a faint whisper, eyes going heavy as little pings of thorns claw at your shoes. The last thing you see and feel, is his face leaning towards you, his finger loosening itself from your chin.
In a blink of an eye, he’s no longer the human you spared, but the monster you let escape back into the wild.
The fiendish of smiles is graced on his lips. Not because of evil, but because his smile, is so love stricken.
All because of you.
“Seems the little birdy fled the nest without permission.” Your eyes slowly flutter open, the familiar figure of a man bowing on top of you. “Now, I’ll forgive you as we weren’t expecting such a beast to appear-“
He’s immediately cut off in his sentence when a searing pain cuts through his chin.
“Augh—! How could you kick me after I spent precious time searching for you!“
“You’re the reason I’m here in the first place…!“
“I didn’t do anything!“ Despite your annoyance towards Crowley and all he stands for in your life, you can’t deny if someone had seen this scene play out in front of them, they would assume you two to be a father and his bickering child.
You attempt to stand to your full height, faltering at the pings of pain in your ankle. You suck in a breath, looking down as you nurse hurt skin.
There are briar thorns wrapped around your leg, a single rose adorning the stems, and a gentle green hue that contrasts the pure black of the floral life.
“Oh my, what were you doing last night?”
“… Night?”
“You’ve been gone for 36 hours my birdie.”
You don’t feel any different… Save for the prickle of thorns and fresh bite on your arm.
… Fresh bite?
Despite the indent, it doesn’t hurt, it’s like, he left it there as a reminder of your failures, at least to you. It could very well be his way of staking his claim on your heart.
“It’s a shame you didn’t get him when you could’ve, with your connections, you could’ve spared us a huge loss today…” you’re cruelly reminded of the people that lay to waste hidden in the trees. “We should let today serve as a reminder of what you must do.”
Crowley doesn’t look happy at the sight of so many employees who failed their jobs, yet he doesn’t look grieved either.
You… Truly, you wish you weren’t so softhearted during your missions. Maybe then, this could’ve all been avoided.
A/n: Like I said, this piece was from so long a goo, so i’m so sorry if the plot isn’t to anyone liking, but if it is, i’m happy you enjoyed it!!

*To Much Kitten?*

Pairing: Hyunjin x Reader (Fem)
Genre: Pure Smut
Warning: Hyunjin is a cat turned human, Breeding kink, Creampie, Multiple orgasms, Anal, Oral (Both receiving), Toys, “Double stuffed”, Spanking, Slight Pillow Humping, Praise, Pet names (kitten is used a lot), not proofread. I think that’s all?
Yall wanted a part two to “Teach Me” so here it is. It’s pure smut I may have went over board with it not gonna lie- but hey enjoy.
Part One “Teach me”
-🩵
It’s been a week or two since the cute little cat you rescued got turned into a human. It was still so weird to you the thought at least. You two have been living well together you were teaching him all the human things and in return he was fucking you senseless at any time either of you needed.
Today you were at work longer than normal, you felt bad but even worse since Hyune was even clingier this morning usual. He didn’t want you to go he whined loudly as you peeled yourself off of him trying to leave. So on your way home you stopped at the store and grabbed him his favorite type of fish to surprise him.
Walking through the door to your place your eyes were met with a sinful sight. There was hyunjin bear naked fucking himself into a pillow on the couch. His hair was slicked back from all the sweat the noises he was making were enough to make your core ache for him. “Hyune” you said softly his head shot up from the couch desperate eyes staring you down. “You’re home!” He said quickly rushing to you.
He pressed himself against you pushing you against the door as he wrapped his arms around you “y/n-ie please- I’m- it hurts I need you” he said his voice cracking. “What do you mean it hurts?” You said his words confusing you. “Huh?” He said confused himself now “y/n what do you mean? You’re ovulating” he said with a whine “it’s putting me into basically a “heat” he said looking at you. “What does that mean?”
“It means because you are, you’re ready to breed. Which would be a heat for cats. Which in return makes my hormones need to breed you. We males don’t have a heat like females ours just makes us more hornier.” He rambled. Your mind was still a bit confused but more on the part where it hurt “but what hurts?” You asked feeling a bit worried for him “y/n- my cock- i haven’t been able to cum properly all day I need- it needs to be buried into you please-“ he was a mess his words running together.
“I-“ you started to say before he kissed you sucking on your tongue his body pressed against you humping your leg as he tried to take your shirt off. “Hyune I just got home” you said between breathes. He huffed looking up at you “y/n if I can’t get a release I’m going to go feral.” He said his voice almost a growl. The way he was switching from needy to almost dominate made it so hot. You wanted to fuck with him a little but you didn’t wanna hurt him either. You slowly ran your hand down to his unclothed cock and slowly pumped your hand up and down. Hyun letting out a low groan.
“Hmm what exactly happens if you go feral?” You hummed out stopping the movements already. “Y/n please-“ he said his voice getting stuck in his throat. “Maybe I’ll just let you go back to humping your pillow.” You teased moving your body away from him. “Y/n stop-“ he whined more but his demeanor had changed. “Stop what hmm?” You dared to tease back yet again. “Stop being such a brat.” He said making his way to you, he grabbed you by your waist pushing you down against the couch.
Your ass now up in the air, he quickly stripped you of your pants almost ripping them in the process. You were about to protest before he pushed your head down into the couch smacking your ass hard. “Stay” he growled. As he ran to grab something coming back just a few second later, you could hear a familiar sound. He had grabbed your vibrator from your drawer along with a dildo you had stashed.
He quickly put the vibrator under you pushing your hips so it would stay between your clit and the couch. You moaned out at the feeling before you heard him chuckle a bit “damn this dildo is so small compared to me.” He said bringing it to your face “suck it” he placed it on your lips looking up at him his eyes were so dark. You did as you were told opening your mouth. He quickly pushed it in moving it back and forth “yeah that’s it kitten suck it” he smirked looking down at you.
As he moved it in and out he could hear the moans muffled by the pretty blue cock in your mouth. He pulled it out after a few minutes “that’s my baby get it all wet so I can fill you with it” he said before moving back to your ass. He slowly pushed the dildo into your folds rewarding him with a moan from you. He pushed it in and out a couple times before coming back up to your face. “My turn kitten open that pretty little mouth of yours so I can fuck it good”
Without hesitation you did so, he took his time slowly pushing into your mouth before fucking it deep. He could feel you twirling your tongue around it taking him in so nicely. Moaning around him from all the sensations that were going on. The man above you grabbed the back of your head fucking into your mouth roughly. “Fuck- fuck-“ he repeated as he touched the back of your throat “my good girl just needed some cock to shut her up huh? Kitten had such an attitude but it all changes for my cock?” He teased.
His hips started to stutter as he felt his high coming releasing all of himself in the back of your throat making you choke a bit. He pulled out slowly seeing a long string of spit come off. The sight of you already so fucked out made him even hornier than he was. He lifted your head making you look at him “let’s see how many times I can cum in all your holes.” He chuckled moving towards your rear again. He let a good smack on your ass before biting your left cheek.
He kneeled down before moving you a bit to eat you out. You were already soaking wet you could feel your arousal dripping down your folds the sight of you could almost make him cum again. He quickly latched himself to your wet slits moving like a feral animal. As he did so he moved the dildo slowly but deeply into you. You were close. You were so fucking close. The feeling of it all had you seeing stars you could feel drool running down your cheek as you had your mouth opening moaning loudly.
He sucked harshly at your clit “cum for me kitten let me taste your sweetness.” He said picking up speed with the dildo. In seconds you were cumming on his tongue. He licked you clean of course. As he stood up behind you he let out a low chuckle “my kittens legs are shaking do you need me to stop?” He said as he removed the dildo placing his tip at your heat, rubbing it up and down. You shook your head no and as quickly as you did he was already pushing into you. He fucked hard a string of curse words left his mouth as he finally was buried inside you.
“Fuck- ah fuck y/n, I’m gonna-“ he choked out before cumming deep inside you. As he did he grabbed the vibrator turning it on higher. He could feel you clench hard around him. Your head swirling knowing full well you were gonna cum again. You could feel his cock twitching inside of you becoming harder again. God how does he just keep going? You wanted to cry out.
He let his finger find its way to your other little hole before spitting on it to lube it up. He pushed his finger into your ass stretching it out. You couldn’t take it both of your holes were being filled and your sensitive clit was being mercilessly toyed with. You basically screamed his name as you came hard around his cock “Hyune-“ you stuttered out “so sensitive.” Your words made him smile ear to ear. “Yeah kitten?” You nod in response not being able to put words together. “Well baby I’m not quite done with you yet.”
Before you knew it he had your hole stretched enough he pushed his cock slowly into you letting you adjust as he did. His movements were slow at first before he sped up his pace. As he fucked into your ass he had grabbed the dildo yet again. Pushing it deep into you, as he moved his hips so did the dildo. “Hyunjin!” You screamed out at the feeling of being double stuffed. Your brain was fried drool running down your mouth only being able to moan.
“Ah fuck y/n!” He groaned gripping your ass hard before pushing as far into as he could to release for the 3rd time. He quickly pulled out wiping his cock off hurriedly, he picked you up moving you to sit on his lap facing him as he pushed you back down on his cock. He wrapped your arms around him holding you close to him as he bounced you up and down. You were so fucked out at this point you couldn’t think straight.
“Is my kitten still here?” He said in a small teasing voice “or did I fuck her brains out?” He said pulling you back to look at him. “Am here. To- much” you said out breath airy. “To much kitten? You want me to stop?” He said slowing down his pace making your whine out “not yet- please- I-“ your words weren’t coming out “you want me to fill you one more time?” He said knowing exactly what you wanted. You nodded slowly making him smile “ok kitten let me fill you really good this time, you’ve let me breed you so well” he cood moving his hips again.
“My good girl, you’re so beautiful you know that?” He said softly placing soft kisses to your neck “you let me use you so good, gonna have my kittens.” He said moving his hand down to your clit, he moved it in just the right way bringing you ever so close to your high again. “My perfect kitten hmm. You’re all mine” he said softly against your neck. “My pretty kitten is close to cumming again this time I wanna cum together.” He said as he picked up his pace.
His thrusts were lazy at this point but he made sure you sunk down all the way on his cock so he could cum as deep in you as possible. “My good girl let me use all her holes hmm- let me fill them all so well.” His voice like butter against your ear. You could feel your climax coming it felt stronger this time a bit different. “Kitten- I’m-“ he said pushing you down fully on his cock. Free hand wrapping around you holding you in place, sinking his teeth into your shoulder as his cum shot deep into you. As he came so did your body shaking at the feeling “ah baby’s squirting on my cock- fuck- ah fuck.” He groaned out realizing you had indeed just squirted now realizing why it felt different.
“Fuck y/n” he said through deep breaths. You both sat there for awhile regaining brain functions. He softly kissed your shoulder where he had bit you rubbing your back. “You ok love?” He cood tilting your head to look at him. You nod slowly “I’m ok that was just-“ you said words trailing off “I’m sorry if I did to much my brain was in a feral mode and I-“ you cut him off “that was the hottest thing I’ve ever done.” You said making him chuckle a bit. “How’d you learn half of that?” You asked looking up at him “well you see I just checked your history and found the videos you watch and studied them.” He admitted making your mouth drop.
“Hyune if I wasn’t so sensitive and hungry right now I’d say let’s go again.” You laughed making him laugh as well “I’d say fuck it but I’m starving. How about we eat, shower and come back to the topic?” He said kissing you lovingly. “Sounds great to me.” You replied back kissing him back.

✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵
you’ve heard about the infamous ‘tornado wrangler’. your ex, tyler owens. the two of you ended things years ago, you were still living in arkansas at the time.
it was a mutual ending, you couldn’t keep up with his adrenaline-fueled dreams, chasing these nightmarish storms.
you moved states after something happened in the family and took your sister. now you were in oklahoma, where tyler was working. unusual weather patterns causing different storm-chasing crews were roam the state and happen to be in your county.
you did everything you could to keep your distance from tyler. you wanted to avoid him at all costs because you knew if you saw him, you’d realize you didn’t quite stop loving him.
“y/n!” your little sister pulls you out of your daze as she points to a stuffed cat and pulls your arm.
“is this one you want?”
she nods her bright smile could light up the whole planet. you ready for the calico-colored cat, “we’ll take this one”.
the vendor nods as you pay them, and hands you back the change. “have a good one.” they smile.
you hand the cat to your little sister as she hugs it closer to her chest, rambling nonsense. “amelia. hand.” you demand, snapping your fingers to grab her attention.
her small hand finds yours and the two of you continue looking through the vendors set up on the block.
it was a perfect day for a festival, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. you thought after a week-long run of bad storms and tornadoes was over.
so, it came as a surprise when the tornado sirens began to sound. you stop on your tracks, watching the people around you. “sissy, what’s happening?” amelia asks. you look down at her and smile, “i’m not sure, amy. stay close.” the little girl nods, holding your hand tighter.
you study the people walking around town. some of them taking off in their vehicles, others continuing their activities as if it was just another warning.
dark clouds swirled through the skies, growing darker and more ominous as the seconds passed. the winds picked up in speed and force, becoming more powerful as the storm continued to grow. thunder roared and lightning flashed, lighting up the sky in bursts of bright light.
clouds swirled in what soon became a funnel. “oh god..” you breathe, tugging at your sister. “we gotta go!” you holler.
tyler owens caught a glimpse of something familiar in the chaos caused by the storm. squinting, he noticed you and your younger sister struggling through the debris-filled streets. “y/n?!”
the sight of you struggling amid the disaster immediately sent a pang of concern through him. ignoring the past, he knew he had to help you. rushing towards you, “y/n! you need to get inside!” tyler yells over the booming crack of thunder.
“i can’t find her!” you yell back. “who?!”
“amelia! my sister. she was here and then she was just gone!” you feel your chest constricting. your heart was pounding so hard it was getting harder to breathe. you whip your head around searching for the little girl in a pink summer dress.
“you need to go inside!” tyler tries reaching for your arm to guide you to the movie theater where everyone else is. “i can’t!” you step back, “i need to find her! i can’t leave her out here.”
tyler grabs you by your shoulders, making you look at him. “y/n, go inside and get to somewhere safe. you won’t be any help out here looking for her if you get hurt. i’ll find her, go!”
he gives you a little push and you begin towards the movie theater before the storm could sweep you away. you look back, and tyler nods, assuring you that he’d find your sister.
tyler sped through the battered town, his eyes scanning the surroundings for the little girl while telling other survivors to get inside.
his boots stomp against the pavement, dodging debris and other obstacles. until, he spotted a young girl, no older than ten, struggling to make her way through the rubble-strewn streets.
her wide eyes were filled with terror as she stumbled down to her knees, calling out for her sister, you.
he hurried over to her, a mix of concern and determination on his face.
"c'mon! we have to get you somewhere safe," he called over the howling wind, extending a hand to help her up.
as he led her towards the nearby movie theater, thoughts of his past with you filled his mind, but he pushed those thoughts aside, focusing purely on getting her to safety.
inside the theater, you were scanning the room frantically. everyone in the room yelling, asking if they’d seen someone they lost. people yelling at each other to get down and take cover.
the theater shook as a loud growl could be heard outside. you look up towards the ceiling, watching it crumble.
“you need to get down!” a lady reaches for your arm and tries to push you in between the seats.
there’s a moment when it goes silent for you, everything is moving in slow motion as you look towards the exits and hear the familiar wailing of a little girl.
“oh thank god.” you cry, running towards tyler holding the little girl, and scoop her into your arms. the two of you a sobbing mess, you squeeze her tightly and look up at tyler. “thank you, thank you so much.”
he nodded, pressing his lips in a tight smile. “ty!” someone yells, running towards him. “we gotta get these people to the back, this building isn’t built for a storm like this.”
tyler looks at the surroundings and agrees with javier. he begins ushering people towards the back, “y/n, get back and stay low!” he yells her the roaring tornado.
you take amelia and hunker down between the rows of theater chairs, holding each other tightly. “close your eyes!” you hold your hand over her eyes, shielding her from any debris. you hold her close to your chest and grip onto the bottom of the chairs.
once tyler got most people to the back of the theater, tyler approached you and your little sister huddled together in the theater, the building creaking and groaning as the tornado's intensity increased.
suddenly, the wind howled louder, a vortex of air tearing through the room, threatening to rip you all apart.
in a desperate move, tyler lunged towards you, wrapping his arms fiercely around you, anchoring you to him as the winds tried to tear the two of you apart. you clung to him, her fingers digging into his shoulders as they fought against the storm's wrath.
your knuckles grip onto your sister's torso, keeping her pinned to your body.
tyler stood anxiously next to the ambulance, watching as the two sisters were being examined by the paramedics inside. he couldn't shake off the sense of protectiveness he felt towards you, even after all these years.
“sit still, hun.” you coo, rubbing her shoulders as the paramedics take her vitals.
as you glanced out of the back of the ambulance, your eyes locked with his for a brief moment. tyler's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that his old feelings for you had never truly faded away, no matter how much he tried to deny it.
“can you watch her for a second?” you as the woman, tending to amelia.
“where you goin?” amelia asks, reaching for your arm. “i gotta go talk to a friend, amy. i’ll be right back.” you press a kiss into her hair and walk over to the man.
“she’s grown up,” tyler says as you stand next to him.
“yup.” you reply, letting a comfortable silence fill the air.
“how old is she?” he asks.
“seven. she just had a birthday last week”
“wow.” tyler rests his hands on his hips, recalling how little she was when the two of you were dating.
“thank you. sincerely. i don’t know what i would’ve done if..” you trail off, covering your eyes unable to finish the sentence.
“shh.” he pulls you into his side, soothing your worries. “don’t think like that. just glad i was here when i was.”
you wrap an arm around his torso, leaning into his side.
despite the years that had passed since the breakup, the sight of tyler had stirred up a mixture of emotions. seeing him again brought back memories – good and bad – that were tinged with a touch of nostalgia.
what surprised you most, however, was the realization that those old feelings for him hadn't faded as much as you believed.
“thank you, tyler. genuinely” you repeat, wiping your eyes. “of course.” he smiles, looking down at you.
“go get checked. that cut looks bad” he suggests, examining the cut on your forehead. “i will.” you smile, watching as your sister hops down from the ambulance and runs towards you.
you bend down and scoop her into your arms, resting her on your hip. “did you tell mister owens ‘thank you’?” you ask amelia, who tries to hide behind your hair.
“thank you, mister owens” she says, bashfully.
“anytime, darlin.” he gently pats the girls arm. “i’ll catch yall later” he says, taking a few steps back but you stop him.
“tyler, do you want to come over for dinner?” you ask.
tyler stops in his tracks, turning back to face you. a huge grin forming on his face. “i’d love that”

TJ's 2K Request Celebration
@ilovewomen0099 Request: So High School - Taylor Swift. I hope it’s what you wanted 🩷
Cw: tooth rotting FLUFF, making out, date night, allusions to smut.
wc: 1.2k
And in a blink of a crinkling eye
I'm sinking, our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
“Babe, look!” Eddie points to the rickety wooden Ferris Wheel that didn’t look all that trustworthy.
“I don’t know about that one?” You hold back.
“Why? Are you scared? He taunts you as he pulls you in closer.
You’re in the middle of the fairgrounds, but you don’t care; the other people can walk around you.
“No.” You counter back, but it’s not very convincing.
“Don’t worry I’ll protect you.” He catches you off guard by peppering your face with so many kisses you’ve lost count.
Nothing made you feel as light and airy as Eddie had. Nobody could ever compare. You know he is in it for you, even if you’ve just started dating, you can feel it; he’s the one.
“Come in, scaredy cat,” he grins before pulling you to the line.
Eddie admired the twinkling lights that reflected off your skin as you gripped onto him for dear life. Somehow, he convinced you to come up with him.
“I might loose circulation in this arm but it was worth it.”
You snort in response at his lame joke. “Tell me how this is worth it.”
“Because you look so beautiful.” He tucks a piece of hair caught in the wind behind your ear, and you swear your heart skips a beat. Suddenly, you feel like you're sixteen and back in high school. Any time Eddie looks at you, you act like a schoolgirl all over again.
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
Walking together, fingers not daring to let go of one another’s, even if Eddie’s chunky rings were digging into your skin.
“You know the first time I saw you I ran and hid.” Eddie admits sheepishly.
“What?” you giggle, confused by the admission.
“God, I don’t know why I’m telling you this; you just bring it out in me, baby.”
“Please tell me” you give him the good old puppy eye look that you’ve figured out that he can’t resist.
“Ok, um-well, Dustin and I were getting coffee before Hellfire because, you know, we need our energy, and you were in line ahead of us. I didn't see you at first, but when you turned to your friend- I think you were with Tara? I'm not sure I wasn't really focused on her because when I saw you...you made my heart skip a beat, I swear. I didn't know how to approach you, so I told Dustin to order my coffee and hid in the bathroom." He rambled.
"Eddie-"
"Dustin busted my balls the whole night about it, too."
"So you saw me before?"
"Yes, and I let you slip away so you could imagine how grateful I was when I saw you again that night we met." Eddie wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you closer, never wanting to let you go. He couldn't believe what his life would have been like if he had lost you in the crowd at Steve's party that night.
You felt an infectious sense of giddiness, reminiscent of a schoolgirl, every time you were with Eddie. Even though you knew it was the honeymoon phase, you cherished every single moment spent with him.
"Well, I first saw you at Steve's part and knew I had to have you. Your bad boy metal thing really got me going," you giggle.
"All a part of the brand, baby"
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
It's just a game, but really
I'm bettin' on all three for us two
As you were walking to the fairgrounds, you stumbled upon the Fortune teller's tent. Eddie gives you a knowing look, but you pull him along anyway.
"If you made me get on that Ferris Wheel, we are so doing this."
Before Eddie could argue how much of a scam this would be, you tugged his jacket sleeve and pulled him into the red and white striped tent.
The inside of the tent was a mesmerizing sight. Colourful fabrics and intricately designed rugs adorned the space, creating a warm and mystical atmosphere. Glittering crystals hung from the ceiling, catching the light and casting prismatic reflections across the interior. In the center of the tent, a small circular table stood, its surface adorned with intricate carvings and holding a clear crystal ball that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly glow. Seated at the table was an elderly woman with long, faded red hair that cascaded down her back. She was dressed in a dark green robe that seemed to blend with the surroundings, and her nails were painted black and extended six inches, adding an air of all-knowing.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" she sheepishly grinned.
"Hello, this is my boyfriend, Eddie, and I'm Y/N."
"Shouldn't she know that?" Eddie scoffed under his breath.
"Welcome, non-believer and his lovely girlfrined."
"See, she knows!" You nudge his side with your elbow.
"Babe, are you kidding me?"
You ignore him, plop him down, and sit in his lap, seeing only one chair.
"What is it you seek?" She quirks a brow.
"Nothing specific; tell us what you see for us.
"Baby, I don't think that's a good idea?"
"Hush." You shush him, and Eddie holds his tongue. He loved when you took charge, but this was a bit much even for Eddie.
You turn to the wise-looking woman across from you and watch as she examines you before taking out the tarot cards. She shuffled messily and flipped over three onto the table. You looked intently as you saw the lover's car, the three cups and the empress.
"What's the verdict? She going to marry, kiss or kill me?" Eddie jokes, and you playfully smack his chest.
"I see all good things here; you have a strong relationship with a potent feminine energy. Your friends support this union as do your family."
"Does that say lovers? Am I getting banged tonight?" Eddie whispers in your ear.
"Not if you keep it up." ou wiggle your ass into his crotch only to tease him more.y
"I feel confident in this power dynamic; you can keep him in his place while submitting when needed."
"She submits alright." Eddie snorts, and your eyes go wide with mortification.
"Edward!" you cry.
"Exactly my point. That will be thirty-five dollars."
Get my car door, isn't that sweet?
Then pull me to the backseat
No one's ever had me, not like you.
"M'lady," Eddie's oh-so-grandiose display of chivalry didn't go unnoticed as he swung open the back of the van door so you could put your giant plushie he won you in the back.
"Thank you, kind Sir." you present curtsy and reach into the van to place your giant teddy bear on the floor.
Eddie brushes past you, popping himself into the van before pulling you in after him. Quickly, he shuts the door and sits you both in the back bench seat pulling you into a needy kiss.
"Waited to do that all damn night." his hands find your ass cheeks as you're sat in his lap.
"We made out on that death trap you call a ride," you mumble into his mouth, and Eddie sees this as an opportunity to deepen the kiss. His tongue enters your mouth, and you sense the urgency in which he needs you.
"Okay, big boy, let's take this party home."
"What, you don't want to fuck me in the parking lot like a couple of hory kids?"
"Please, that's so high school."

better together



summary: airline lounges, box box widgets, and a cheesy greeting card 💌
words: 1,045
a/n: the romcom girlie in me has always wanted to write a meet-cute and i've been listening to too much lizzy mcalpine! tagging @vamossainz55, @sainzcaleruega, @monzabee, @ssainzz, @diorleclerc, and @userlando just because. let me know if you'd want a part two! hugs and kisses 🫶🏼
Love comes when you least expect it. Those same old words had fallen from the lips of every person you knew, so much so that they now felt weightless. On this particular evening, you found yourself at your best friend’s wedding reception, zoning out at the open bar. You nodded along as some man who’d had one too many G&T’s rambled on about his meet-cute on the Paris metro. Seeing two people you adored make a lifelong commitment only reaffirmed the fact that you craved the same.
It was no secret you weren’t exactly the MVP of the single scene. On any given night out, you’d leave the club before midnight to get a full eight-hour snooze. Dating apps were a no-no, as reruns of Catfish had made you skeptical about “finding the one” online. At work, you kept a low profile, socializing just enough to have a tight circle of work friends. It was as if you were coasting on autopilot, wanting love but hesitant to steer towards it.
Not to say that being single was all bad. Every hard-earned dollar was invested right back into the things you loved: trips, clothes, and your dog Cannoli. You silently weighed the pros and cons of your lifestyle as you stepped into the airline lounge.
Setting down your latest read to save your seat, you made your way to the breakfast buffet and grabbed a plate of avocado toast, poached eggs, and a glass of orange juice. On your way back, you spotted someone in a hoodie and cap making themselves at home in the armchair opposite yours.
The whole lounge was virtually empty, and this just had to be his seat of choice? You slowly approached from behind and let out a quiet gasp as you noticed them flipping through your book. “Love languages, huh?” The man pointed at the cover and smiled.
Your pupils dilated twice their size as you registered just who it was. The fan-made bracelets, the Leica, and, most of all, the signature McLaren cap—it all fell into place. “My manager and I just got into a huge argument, and honestly, I’d rather be anywhere but with him right now. Do you mind if I-" He gestured towards the seat beside you, his eyes radiating a silent plea.
“No problem. Let me give you your space,” you responded, hastily gathering your things. Just as you were about to step away, his hand gently clasped your wrist. “I could use the company. I’m Bob, by the way,” he mumbled, oblivious to the fact that his cover was blown.
As in, you knew he was currently seventh place in the driver’s championship and slowly but surely climbing up the standings. The last thing he needed was for you to bring any of that up, so you did as he said, trying to give him a sense of normalcy he so deserved.
He headed to the breakfast buffet and returned with the very items you had selected. "Copying me?" you teased. “First step in getting to know you,” he grinned. Curious about your life, he asked about your job in the emergency room. You told him the hours were grueling but watching extremely sick patients leave healthy made it all worthwhile. "Hope I never end up being your patient," he joked.
His interest didn't stop there; he inquired about siblings (only child), your dream vacation destination (Antibes), and whether you were a dog or cat person (not even a question). You, being a proud dog mom, wanted to show your furry guy off and handed Lando your phone.
As he squinted at your phone, you heard him say, "7 days to go. United States Grand Prix." A wave of panic washed over you as you remembered the Box Box widget that also occupied your screen. The silence was deafening as you wished the ground would swallow you up.
“Let me see the app,” He said. You normally wouldn’t have acquiesced so quickly, but you crumbled and unlocked your phone. He appeared to scroll and click a few things before he handed it back. “Widget Preferences. Constructor: McLaren? Driver: Lando Norris?” You asked as you noticed he’d made some selections.
“You hadn’t bothered with the preferences, so I took the liberty of choosing.” He blushed as the awkwardness of it all hung in the air. “That doesn’t feel fair. I’ve had all this time to get to know you, and I can’t say the same for the other drivers.” You teasingly retorted.
“I'll let the guys know they're in a tight race for your heart." He snickered. The man was on the verge of tears when his manager came by to remind him of his impending flight. “Flight’s in an hour, Lando,” snapped him right back to reality.
He entrusted you with his bags as he ran out to run a quick pre-flight errand. You couldn’t help but squeal the second Lando had vanished from view. What kind of magic was in the air at this airport and could it be bottled?
You tapped through your best friend’s Instagram stories as you awaited his return. The nearly empty lounge echoed as Lando asked a nearby gentleman for a pen and jotted something down. Breathless, he handed you a card, urging you to read it later.
"Your shoelace is untied," he mentioned, and as he bent down to tie it, his blue-green eyes met yours.
The British racing driver left your life in the abrupt way he had entered it. You took in the card, decked out with drawings of mac and cheese, milk and cereal, and avocado and toast, captioned "Better Together" at the bottom.
It was the only card in the store, but it felt just right. You highlighted “words of affirmation” as your love language, so I thought I’d give this a go. Thanks for keeping me company. Talk soon? - LN
His number was scribbled at the end. You quickly changed your lock screen widget to showcase his stats and took a screenshot to send his way.
New look. I might be biased, but I think you just became my favorite driver. Let's see if you can keep it up.
He replied right away.
I like the sound of that. When can I see you again?

Hi recently i read ur fic "bat tunnels" and you mentioned you have thoughts but not enough to write more, and that readers are (and i quote) "free to poke me about it on my tumblr tho!"
i would like to hear the thoughts
Bat tunnels!! This is actually just one of the Many fics I have with Ingo turning into some sort of Pokémon- and by far the shortest haha. Even if that's only because I wasn’t sure how to handle the subsequent events. I have a Lot of fics I’m chipping away at atm
(This turned into a bit more of a ramble than I was expecting. Whoops.)
Anyway- big thing I wasn’t sure how to explain was why Ingo is a pokemon in the first place. Arceus knew that humans can’t travel through time and space very well, and Arceus didn’t want him to like. Forget everything a second time. But Pokémon are notably more hardy! So, turning Ingo into a Gliscor seemed like the best solution.
It’s temporary but 'temporary' for a human and 'temporary' for a being that has lived since before time is Very Different (and maybe Arceus thinks being a Pokémon for a bit isn’t to bad)
Also, re the alpha status: being an alpha has more to do with being particularly experienced in battle/ a will to protect. so.
Arceus just thought “Oh, natural law says you would have become an alpha.” and thus Ingo was made into an alpha.
Alphas aren’t exactly born, though having a parent that is an alpha can increase the chances of becoming one. Just because being surrounded / raised by a really good / experienced fighter is a huge advantage.
Ingo beats up kids for fun on the battle subway and is completely merciless in the paths of solitude. He is a Very experienced fighter in the technical sense, even if for a bit he struggles to harness that power.
In that sense, Emmet was pretty spot on with assuming Ingo was a Gligar that evolved too soon. Not that Ingo actually evolved per se, but his situation is very much like giving a level 5 gligar 95 rare candies and a razor fang. Also he’s still getting used to his body.
(For the record, yes he knows earthquake.)
On that note, Ingo probably. Would not be able to battle on the subway. Not without it being a very strong opponent. With his lack of skill, he has absolutely No Idea how to pull his punches. Also Emmet would feel verrrry uncomfortable putting him in a pokeball- Ingo feels similarly.
Ingo’s gliscor might enjoy it after being tested and vaccinated though haha. Tho they might be busy assisting Ingo with being gliscor shaped himself. Especially when Ingo immediately tried to get back to work- not on the lines but administrative work. Unfortunately holding a pen is rather hard with pincers- and even harder when he struggles to adjust his grip strength.
The carnage is vast. Many good pens were lost under the claws of a very embarrassed ingo. (Emmet appreciates the effort)
It is temporary though and he will be back to normal eventually. Emmet just has to be very careful about not mentioning that the weirdly large gliscor that followed him out of the tunnels is his brother. His reputation already took a hit after his brother’s initial disappearance- he doesn’t need them questioning his mental health about something he can’t prove.
(Thankfully Ingo wants to stick by Emmet's side while he’s still in the shape of a gliscor- so usually it’s other people asking about him and Emmet just pointing or saying “this one” when referring to him. Ingo gets the nickname “Boss” for a bit! Both Ingo and Emmet find it funny.)
once he’s human again Ingo still has a few habits left over- he looks exactly the same as he once did though. His hearing is better (back to normal human levels without the hearing loss he got working with heavy machinery) and he has a tendency to hiss/chirp to convey things. The last one there is actually just something he picked up after living alone in the mountains with a bunch of cat weasel things. His body language and movements are a bit off for a while, because he Just got used to dealing with a tail and wings and now he has to go back to human arms and legs.
Overall things generally just. Go back to normal after a period of adjustment. Ingo and Emmet get to keep running the battle subway and gliscor is sometimes featured on the super singles line.
That’s… all I can think of right now! Absolutely feel free to ask more specific questions!

CAN WE CAM UP?

masterlist
word count: 2,228
pairing: sang-woo x gi-hun.
summary: when sang-woo comes clean about his debts to gi-hun, the older man introduces him to the prospect of opening an onlyfans account. unbeknownst to gi-hun, he’d be watching his best friend’s video on the site weeks later.
cn: 18+, male masturbation, mutual masturbation, webcam/onlyfans sangwoo au
a/n: title from cyber sex for doja cat! you can clearly tell i have no idea how the onlyfans layout works,,, i hope that doesnt ruin anything T_T
—-
“Well— how are you, really?” Gi-hun asked, swirling the bottle of soju lazily in his hand, his tone softer than usual.
Sang-woo took another slow sip of his own drink, the bitterness lingering as he huffed. “I mean, alright.”
Gi-hun fixed him with a deadpan look, a rare moment of seriousness. “I think we’ve known each other long enough to know that’s bullshit.”
The words hit Sang-woo harder than they should’ve. It had been years since they’d last seen each other, his childhood friend now feeling like a relic of a simpler time. But the universe worked in funny ways, reuniting each other at a no-name convenience store after all this time. A little coaxing, albeit barely needed—was all it took for Sang-woo to agree to drinks. He could never say no to Gi-hun, even back when they were kids.
Sang-woo sighed, leaning back into his seat. “Well… maybe not alright. There’s the debts—”
Gi-hun’s eyes lit up, cutting him off mid-sentence. “No way? Me too!” He leaned in, gesturing wildly like Sang-woo had just announced they’d won the lottery. “It’s fucking insane, right? You try everything—”
Sang-woo blinked, half-incredulous, half-amused as Gi-hun launched into a rapid-fire list of schemes he’d tried to get out of debt. It was so absurd he couldn’t help but snicker, the laughter sneaking out before he could stop it.
“Yeah…” Sang-woo trailed off, his smile fading as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. He looked away, the silence creeping back between them.
“But you know,” Gi-hun continued, grinning ear to ear, “I’m managing. You just gotta try everything you can.”
Sang-woo sighed heavily, swirling the last bit of soju in his bottle before setting it down. “I have tried everything, hyung. You think I haven’t?”
Gi-hun leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. “Okay, like what?”
Sang-woo chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. “I tried the obvious, cutting expenses. No more eating out, no more luxuries, not even a cup of coffee from the vending machine at work. Didn’t make a dent.”
He paused, rubbing the back of his neck. “Then, I thought I could invest my way out. Stocks, crypto, you name it. I spent months researching, thinking I could outsmart the market. Turns out, luck isn’t something you can study.”
Gi-hun just nodded wordlessly, letting Sang-woo ramble on.
“And then,” Sang-woo continued, his voice growing quieter, “I thought about selling my car. My condo. Everything I own. But I realized even that wouldn’t be enough to cover it all. It’s like trying to drain an ocean with a goddamn bucket.”
Gi-hun frowned, leaning back in his chair as he sucked his teeth. “Damn. That bad, huh?”
Sang-woo scoffed. “Bad enough that I started thinking about loans. Sketchy ones, the kind where the interest grows faster than you can blink.” He glanced at Gi-hun, his expression dark. “I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not yet.”
There were a few beats of pause, the two men quiet for a bit.
“Well, you know…” It was Gi-hun who broke the silence, hoping to ease the heavy tension in the air. “There’s always OnlyFans, I hear that’s lucrative nowadays.” he joked, nudging Sang-woo’s side with a laugh.
Sang-woo froze, his cigarette paused halfway to his mouth. “What?” he said flatly, his brow furrowing.
Gi-hun looked genuinely surprised. “You’re telling me you’ve never heard of it? You’re 46, single, and you don’t know?” He snorted. “Wow. It’s true what they say—genius types like you really don’t have time for stuff like that, huh?”
Sang-woo just stared at him, unimpressed. “Are you going to tell me, or are you just going to keep spouting nonsense?”
Gi-hun snickered, leaning in like he was sharing some grand secret. “It’s this site where people pay you for… uh, requests.”
Sang-woo’s frown deepened. “Requests?” He repeated the word slowly, like it was foreign.
Gi-hun hesitated, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. “You know. Webcam stuff. Like… adult webcam stuff.”
It took him a second, but when the implication hit, his face flushed crimson. “What the hell, hyung? Do I look like a fucking prostitute to you?!” He yanked off his glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose as if that would help erase the image from his mind.
Gi-hun, of course, was laughing too hard to take him seriously. “Hey, hey—it’s just a joke!” he said, clapping Sang-woo on the back. “Besides, what’s wrong with it? I hear it’s real liberating these days. And it pays a killing.”
Sang-woo rolled his eyes, slipping his glasses back on. “Yeah, well, I’m not that desperate. Keep dreaming.”
They parted ways shortly after, and Sang-woo returned to his empty apartment, the silence of the place practically swallowing him whole. He barely made it home before the exhaustion hit. The ridiculousness of Gi-hun’s suggestion shouldn’t have stuck, but it did. It nestled itself into his mind like an unwelcome guest. He wasn’t that desperate. He didn’t claw his way through SNU just to end up… doing that.
But, Gi-hun had said it paid generously.
He stared up at the ceiling, the thought refusing to let him go.
Would it really be so bad?
He didn’t want to entertain Gi-hun’s absurd suggestion. He really didn’t. But the idea had already planted itself in his head, stubborn and intrusive.
OnlyFans.
Sang-woo rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. Could it really be that simple?
His gaze shifted to his desk. The faint glow of his computer monitor caught his eye. He blinked, hesitant.
“It’s not like I’d show my face,” he muttered under his breath, as if justifying the intrusive thought to himself. “I wouldn’t use my real name. I wouldn’t even talk much.”
Before he realized it, his body was moving. He slid into the chair, his fingers hovering over the keyboard. The cursor blinked in the search bar, expectant.
“OnlyFans pay,” he typed hesitantly.
Click. Scroll.
“How much do you earn from webcam videos on average?”
Click. Scroll.
“How to sign up for an OnlyFans account?”
Click. Scroll.
Finally, his fingers typed the URL directly. OnlyFans.com.
The screen changed, illuminating his face in the dimly lit room. His heart raced as he navigated the sign-up process. A username, an email, a quick verification.
And then the words appeared on the screen:
“Welcome to OnlyFans!”
—
Two weeks passed. Gi-hun hadn’t heard from Sang-woo since their last meeting. It was late, the kind of quiet that only came after the rest of the world had gone to sleep. He laid in bed, scrolling aimlessly through his phone. His eyes wandered to the clock in the top left corner.
2:35 a.m.
His thumb flicked past videos and thumbnails of the familiar website on autopilot. He sighed, scrolling faster. The content blurred together—until his thumb stopped.
A thumbnail caught his attention. A suited figure sat at a desk, the camera cutting off the person’s face. The video title was simple: “First vid.” The uploader’s username was equally unassuming: woosxng.
“Huh,” Gi-hun muttered, intrigued. The simplicity stood out among the neon-lit, high-production videos that dominated his feed. Something about the dimly lit room and the anonymity of the figure made him pause.
He clicked.
The video loaded, and Gi-hun’s eyes were glued to the screen. The man in the video adjusted his tie, his movements deliberate. His veined hands hovered over the front of his slacks, pressing down against the obvious strain. A muffled groan escaped his lips as he palmed himself, hips shifting slightly.
Gi-hun’s breath hitched. There was something strangely captivating about the scene. He was embarrassed to admit it, but that familiar fantasy crossed his mind. He imagined Sangwoo there.
It wasn’t entirely far-fetched, really. The suit, the deliberate movements, the quiet control—it all reminded him of his childhood friend.
The man in the video worked his belt open, sliding his boxers down just enough to free himself. His cock was heavy, flushed as it was leaking at the tip. Gi-hun swallowed hard, unable to tear his gaze away. He’d always thought people who paid for this kind of content were suckers, but this? This was different.
The man’s strokes were slow, teasing himself as his hips bucked slightly. Low groans filled the air, growing more desperate with each movement. Gi-hun felt heat pooling in his stomach, his own arousal growing impossible to ignore. The sound of the stranger’s groans pulled Gi-hun’s attention back to the screen. He couldn’t look away, no matter how much he wanted to. It was like he was hypnotized. The stranger’s hand moved with deliberate precision, stroking his length with slow, teasing motions.
“Fffuck…” the man groaned, his voice strained. His hand ghosted along the underside of his cock, tracing a prominent vein. The sensation drew a whimper from his lips, high-pitched and unrestrained. First hearing the man’s voice had Gihun’s heart skipping a beat. Gi-hun’s breath quickened, shallow and uneven, as the fantasy took hold. He tried to fight it at first, growing heat pooling in his gut. But it was no use. His imagination betrayed him, painting a vivid image of Sang-woo in that chair, his face flushed, lips parted and eyes hazy with need. All for him.
Gi-hun felt his own arousal becoming unbearable, his boxers painfully tight as he watched. But it wasn’t just the visual—it was the sound. Those whimpers, soft and unrestrained, made Gi-hun’s pulse race. He didn’t even know it was possible for a man to whine like that. The stranger’s low groans melted into high-pitched cries, his desperation becoming more palpable with every passing second.
Without even realizing it, Gi-hun had freed himself from his boxers, his hand instinctively wrapping around his own length. He hissed softly at the contact, the sensation almost too much. His strokes matched the stranger’s pace, his eyes locked on the screen as if the man’s pleasure was somehow his own.
The stranger was driving Gi-hun to the brink, his every movement and sound sending shivers down Gi-hun’s spine. That tone—so drenched in vulnerability and surrender—had him clenching the sheets beneath him, his own arousal almost unbearable.
The camera’s angle, low and intimate, captured every detail in a way that left nothing to the imagination, and yet Gi-hun still felt like he needed more. His eyes zeroed in on the stranger’s throat, the way his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed down a moan, his lips parting just enough to let out those desperate mewls. His thighs trembled, muscles straining with effort as he pushed himself closer and closer to the edge.
Gi-hun couldn’t look away, couldn’t even think of anything else. The stranger’s hand moved faster now, his cock disappearing into his fist with each stroke, slick with precome. His hips bucked upward, as if chasing something just out of reach, his movements becoming wild and erratic.
And those sounds—God, those sounds. The deep, guttural moans from earlier had given way to something softer, higher, more desperate. The stranger’s voice cracked as he whimpered, his pleas spilling out in a breathless stream.
“Please, oh—fuck. Please, please”
He was moaning like a fucking girl, Gi-hun thought, and it turned him on harder than anything he’d ever seen or even imagined before. It was maddening—the way he begged to no one, his voice dripping with raw, unrestrained desperation. The contrast between his deep, guttural growls and the high-pitched, pleading cries sent Gi-hun’s mind reeling.
The stranger’s head fell back, exposing the column of his neck. His free hand gripped the edge of the desk, knuckles white, as his strokes grew faster and sloppier. Gi-hun felt like a voyeur, watching something private, something sacred. But he couldn’t bring himself to stop. His heart pounded in his chest, his own arousal building to an unbearable peak as he matched the stranger’s intensity in his mind.
Gi-hun’s breath hitched, his body tense as he imagined that voice, those cries, coming from someone else entirely—someone he knew all too well. The thought made his stomach twist with guilt, but it only heightened the ache deep within him.
Gi-hun was left staring, his own breathing ragged, his chest rising and falling in time with the stranger’s. He felt like his skin was on fire, the rush of pleasure giving way to a lingering sense of shame. But even as the guilt crept in, he couldn’t deny the impact this stranger—this anonymous, faceless man—had on him.
Or, more accurately, the way his mind had twisted that man into someone else entirely.
The stranger’s strokes grew sloppier, more frantic, his hips jerking wildly against his hand. He whimpered, almost sobbed, the sound raw and unfiltered. Gi-hun felt lightheaded, the room spinning as his own hand worked faster, chasing the edge that teased just out of reach.
“Gonna… gonna—” the stranger cried out, his voice breaking as his body stiffened.
The screen showed him arching, his head hitting the back of his chair with a soft thump as he came, thick ropes spilling over his hand. The intensity of his release was almost palpable, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he slowly relaxed back into the chair, utterly spent.
Gi-hun’s body tensed, his own climax hitting him hard as he finally gave in to the fantasy. His mind painted the image of Sang-woo crying out, his face flushed and beautiful, his glasses slipping down his nose as he lost himself completely.
He was so fucked the next time he’d see Sang-woo.

Okay folks, you know the drill from last time I did this. Rambles and notes I made while watching each episode. Spoilers below the cut!
Episode 1
I don’t have much to say here, I just enjoyed it (and forgot to write stuff down as I watched)
Episode 2
I wonder if Gia’s mother went to Kenji first bc she saw how disheveled he is (given his self destructive behavior last season)
Sammy’s passive aggression toward Yaz is umm… worrying me.
PYRORAPTOR FEATHER HECK YEAH
Smoothie my beloved OMGGGG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!
Episode 3
Someone with chess experience plz psychoanalyze that chess scene to see if it foreshadows anything (I may be going insane)
Yutyrannus mention. PLZ! It’s in Jurassic world alive, I love them!!!! PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE FRANCHISE OFFICIALLY
“Isn’t he magnificent?” “… Yeah??” DARIUS STOP PLAYING—
Soyona doing her dirty work in heels. What a diva.
I like how the explanation of the Amber Clave Market from dominion is explained via the catacombs. Like shipping them all directly to it would’ve been huge red flags. Makes me wonder what kinda dinosaurs are lurking around down there…
The parallel of Red being separated from her family and Brooklynn from hers… oof
KENJI WHY DID YOU NOT JUST TAKE THE POT WITH YOU?!
Episode 4
SAMMY CALLING YAZ “BABE” HOLY——-
Soyona has anger issues too… This woman both scares me and makes my crush on her grow even more.
THE REFERENCES TO DOMINION. Well duh it’s obvious and expected, but I kick my legs and scream every time.
Baby sleeping in the apples…
“I’m over one way relationships.” SAMMY NO NO NOOOOO DO NOT DO THIS TO ME RN
Pyro sounding like an elk is so freaking cool!!!! AHHHH *kicking my legs and screaming* I was so giddy when she came out of the darkness.
DAMN BROOKLYNN SMOKED THAT ARM WRESTLE OKAY QUEEN!!!!
Poor Pyro getting 3 V 1, not my Shaylaaaa. And the way they curled back into the vehicle STAHP 😭😭😭😭
Nonna being the parental figure Kenji needed at the end of the episode is everything to me!
Episode 5
Gia and Nonna scolding them in Italian 😭
Brooklynn jumpscare
Okay but seriously I hate the path Brooklynn is going down… I fear the Lythrosaurus thing is just the tip of the iceberg.
SAMMY AND YAZ’S FIGHT 😭😭 I legitimately am tearing up. These two mean the world to me, I’m not exaggerating. I don’t think this is the end of Yasammy, especially given how much both the crew and fandom love them. Some space apart can be good; relationships are never perfect. I hope they get through this and come back even stronger. We’re all rooting for them!
The Atrociraptors snuggling with the Handler… I can’t. Soyona PLEASE let them be happy!!! She cares so much for them and I relate a lot to that. “Terrifying creatures that could eat me but I still care for them.”
Episode 6:
Okay Brooklynn training the atrociraptors was kinda funny. The way they all peek their heads up the moment she’s filming 🤣
Yep. Knew it was the tip of the iceberg with Brooklynn. Like omg she was really about to kill Davi huh…?
Brooklynn why are you TRYING to piss Ghost off, she just wanted affection 😭. Hope that doesn’t come back to bite her… literally.
Is it bad I’m rooting for the handler to get her family (the atrociraptors) back?? PLZ REVEAL HER STORY SOON!!!!
Darius’s anger toward the way they’re treating the dinosaurs is so so so valid imo.
Episode 7
THE CAT EAR HAT FOR SMOOTHIE
KENJI RAP HELP—-
The Handler being like a fnaf jumpscare how the heck is she everywhere at once
Yes Kenji, the locusts are absolutely disgusting and I hate them too ☺️
Episode 8
Pyro diving under the snow is so cool tho!!! Clever girl…
HELL YEAH BROOKLYNN AND HANDLER TEAM UP
SOYONA IN HER DOMINION FIT, SHES SO FINEEEEE 😳. The amount of happy hand flaps I did during the parallel scene.
The car that drove by… Kayla and Claire ref???
Episode 9 + 10
So THATS how Soyona escaped??
MORE CERATOSAURUS YESSSS!!!! I grew very attached to them given the fact they were one of the starter Dino’s back in Jurassic World Evolution. So happy we see more of them and not just “gets killed by Scorpius Rex in the same season”
Blind Allo coming in clutch once more! We love to see it!!!!!
THE PUNCH TO THE STOMACH, GET HER HANDLER!!! (The toxic yuri is fighting again)
POCKET SAND
OKAY OKAY CAN I JUST TALK ABOUT THAT FACE OFF FOR A MINUTE!!!!!!! I could’ve sworn the handler was gonna get killed after Red attacked her. But the way she handled her and shut down the aggression with a few hits and diversion of the bites— She raised these animals, she grew used to calculating their movements and how to dissuade them. And her siblings coming in to back her up. Poor Red getting scolded by the Handler and her pack with little words. The Handler just leaning over to close Red’s jaws shut when she hissed at her. Ah, absolute chef’s kiss. My FAVORITE scene in this season, no doubt.
OKAY the Carnotaurus makes sense given how “duh Biosyn would have other trained dinosaurs.”
GHOST! THE HANDLER! NOOOO! Okay I’m not kidding, I legitimately started crying… a second time. I literally cannot deal with animal-human friendships. The way the Handler looked when Ghost was dying hit far too close to home for me. I’m gonna miss them both…
Okay, overall, phenomenal season. May ramble about it more in depth in a different post, but for now… I need to cope and do homework 🥺

SalEddie 🌸 something that calms them pleeeeease I need to inject your SalEddie stuff directly into my veins to sustain my life.
Here you go @judymarch15 1000+ words of soft SalEddie for Something that calms them. Enjoy! Prompts can be found here. Read on AO3 here.
🌸 - Something that calms them 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
The storm split the sky open just as Eddie's scream split the night. Sal bolted upright in bed, disoriented, the sheets tangled around his legs. Beside him, Eddie thrashed, his breathing ragged and too fast. The digital clock read 3:17 AM, its red glow the only light in the room until another flash of lightning illuminated Eddie's face—eyes wide, pupils dilated, skin slick with sweat. "Eddie? Hey, Eddie, what's wrong?" Sal reached for him, but Eddie flinched away so violently he nearly fell off the bed. "I can't—I can't—" Eddie gasped, clutching at his chest. His whole body trembled. "The storm—I can't—" Sal froze, hand suspended in the air between them. They had only been dating a month. He had never seen Eddie like this, never imagined the easygoing guy who made terrible jokes and kissed like he was savoring expensive wine could fall apart so completely. Thunder crashed outside, and Eddie covered his ears, curling into himself. "Should I... do you need..." Sal trailed off, helpless. He didn't know what questions to ask, what comfort to offer. He watched Eddie struggle to breathe and felt utterly useless. "Water? Should I get you water?" Eddie shook his head, a jerky movement. "Just—just talk to me. Please. Anything." Sal swallowed hard. "Okay. Okay, I can do that." He started speaking, rambling about a documentary he had watched last week, about his last call on shift, where he had to rescue a cat, about his Nona’s recipe he wanted to try that weekend. His voice sounded strange to his own ears, but Eddie's breathing gradually slowed, his grip on his knees loosening by degrees. Sal held Eddie's hand until the storm passed, until Eddie's breathing evened out, until they both drifted back to sleep with the first hint of dawn filtering through the blinds.
-----
Morning light crept in through the blinds, casting soft patterns across the bed. Sal stirred and found Eddie sitting at the edge, shoulders curled inward, his silhouette somehow smaller in the quiet. "I'm sorry about last night," Eddie said, voice rough. He wouldn't meet Sal's eyes. "I should have warned you. About the storms." Sal reached for Eddie's hand. "Hey, no. Don't apologize." "It's stupid. I know it's stupid." Eddie’s fingers trembled slightly in Sal’s grasp. “It was that storm a couple years ago. The one where Buck got hit by lightning on the ladder.” Sal’s brow furrowed. “Yeah… I remember. You were on that call?” “I was struck too,” he said suddenly, voice rough. “Same time Buck was. Not as bad, but… I felt it. My whole body locked up. I hit the ground hard. Couldn't move. And when I looked up, Buck was just lying there, suspended in air. I thought he was dead.” Sal stayed quiet, just breathing with him, close and steady. “Ever since then…” Eddie swallowed hard. “Thunder makes my skin crawl. Lightning makes my chest seize. I try to hide it, but it’s like my body remembers before I do.” “I know,” Sal whispered. “It’s not stupid. It’s your body keeping score. But I’m here now. You’re not alone in it anymore.”
That morning, while Eddie showered, Sal hunched over his laptop. He read about anxiety disorders, panic attacks, grounding techniques. He scrolled through forums where people shared what helped them during storms—weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones, pressure therapy.
-----
The next time a storm hit, and the clouds rolled in thick and low, heavy with threat, Sal didn’t mention the forecast—he didn’t need to. He could feel the tension in Eddie’s body the moment they lay down together, shoulder to shoulder in the quiet dark. The first flash lit up the room. A few seconds later, thunder followed, low and distant. Eddie didn’t flinch—at least, not visibly. But Sal felt it. The way Eddie’s muscles tensed beneath the sheets, the way his breath hitched just enough to betray him. Sal turned his head toward him. “Hey,” he said gently, voice low. “Can I try something?” Eddie’s jaw was tight. “I’m fine.” “I know,” Sal said. “But… will you trust me?” Eddie hesitated for a breath, then gave a small nod. The next thunderclap rolled in, closer this time. Without a word, Sal moved over him, carefully straddling Eddie’s hips, pressing their bodies together just enough to ground him. Then he leaned in, cupping both hands over Eddie’s ears. His palms were warm, steady, fingertips resting in Eddie’s hair. “Focus on me,” Sal whispered, forehead brushing Eddie’s. “Just me.” Lightning cracked, illuminating the room in a harsh flash. Thunder slammed seconds later, and Eddie flinched hard beneath him—but Sal stayed right there, solid and unmoving, holding Eddie’s head gently between his hands like something precious. “I’ve got you,” Sal murmured. “You’re safe. I’ve got you.” Eddie’s chest rose and fell too quickly. Sal didn’t speak—he just stayed with him, thumbs stroking gently against Eddie’s temples. “I couldn’t move. Couldn’t even get to him. He wasn’t breathing.” Eddie’s voice cracked. “I thought I watched him die.” “I know,” Sal whispered. “I know, Tesoro. You don’t have to carry that alone anymore.” Eddie’s hands gripped the sides of Sal’s thighs where they bracketed him, holding on. Sal kept his palms firm, blocking the worst of the outside world while keeping Eddie tethered to this moment. “You’re doing so good,” Sal said softly, leaning in until their noses brushed. He kissed Eddie’s forehead, then his cheek, slow and reverent. Eddie turned his face, catching Sal’s mouth with his own. The kiss was deep. Unhurried. Full of everything Eddie couldn’t say yet. And though Sal couldn’t use his hands, he kissed back just as fully, just as fiercely—his body doing the rest. He shifted his hips lower, pressing against Eddie, anchoring him completely. Eddie moaned softly into his mouth, overwhelmed but not by fear. By closeness. By heat. By the way Sal didn’t try to fix the storm—just shielded him from it with his whole self. Thunder cracked again, but muffled by Sal’s touch, it barely landed. Eddie flinched, a flicker—but he didn’t pull away. “You okay?” Sal murmured, breath ghosting over Eddie’s lips. “Yeah,” Eddie whispered. “Don’t stop.” Sal didn’t. He kissed him again, deeper this time. His weight stayed balanced, firm but careful. His hands never left Eddie’s ears, even as the rest of him moved—hips gently rocking, lips dragging along Eddie’s jaw, his throat. He couldn’t hold Eddie the way he wanted to, but he didn’t need to. Eddie was already opening beneath him, surrendering to the quiet rhythm of being seen, protected, wanted. “I’ve got you,” Sal said again, breathless now, kissing along the edge of Eddie’s ear, the skin behind it. “I’m right here.” And Eddie—held in place, sealed off from the chaos outside—finally let go. The thunder kept rolling, but it didn’t matter. Because all he could feel was Sal. Warm. Steady. His.
When the storm finally passed and the sky quieted to a dull, wet hush, they lay tangled together beneath the covers, skin damp with heat and lingering adrenaline. Sal gently moved his hands away from Eddie’s ears, replacing them with slow touches—his knuckles against Eddie’s jaw, the brush of his thumb over his cheek.
Eddie exhaled like it was the first full breath he’d taken all night. “You didn’t let go,” he murmured, voice hoarse. “Never will,” Sal whispered.
They didn’t talk about what had just happened. They didn’t need to. Sal just lay there, one leg hooked over Eddie’s, a hand splayed across his chest, feeling the steady beat of the heart he had helped anchor back to the world. Eddie’s fingers played absently with the edge of Sal’s shirt like he was trying to keep hold of something real.
Eventually, sleep found them again—not because the fear disappeared, but because safety had been louder.
And after that, this became something Sal did to comfort Eddie—first during the storms, when the thunder rumbled low and the lightning flashed bright, and then anytime the shadows crept in or the past clawed at him. Sal learned how to be the steady anchor Eddie needed, holding him close, whispering soft reassurances, grounding him with nothing but presence and touch.
It wasn’t about fixing the fear or chasing away the memories—it was about showing up, again and again, a quiet promise that Eddie didn’t have to face the storm alone.

Hi! ✌️ Any thoughts about comforting Bucky when he wakes up from a bad dream?
sooo many thoughts!! enjoy this half-drabble / half-rambling thoughts!
“Bucky, baby, it’s okay,” You say, sitting next to Bucky in your disheveled bed. The time showed 2:45am, and the exhaustion on his face was evident.
Bucky not only felt bad about his nightmare, but the fact that you just looked so worried and sleepy too
He felt thankful he'd never hurt you during his post-nightmare haze, you were smart enough to know when he was going to need some space when he woke up
You'd rub his back over his shirt gently, ignoring the feeling of light sweat
Bucky’s breathing was unsteady, but you were going to make sure he calmed down
With some loving words and soft shushing, Bucky would slowly start to shake off the nightmare
“It was happening all over again,” Bucky said, voice gruff yet full of vulnerability. His eyes showed not only his age, but the pure, raw, look of child-like fear. “I just can’t help it.”
“I know, baby, I know. But it’s all over now, I’m here, Sam’s here, Alpine’s here,”
Listing the things that were his helped him regain a sense of grounding, reminding him he was living his own life again
Sometimes, he would dream of specific events. Those nights were harder. Sometimes he would cry, shake, go deathly silent
Even then, you made sure to be his rock. You’d grab Alpine and curl up with him, holding him, or sometimes he would hold you
He'd stroke her fur as he grabbed your hand, intertwining your fingers as his thumb rubbed over your knuckle
“See Buck? Even Alpine says it’s okay,”
“Doll, Alpine’s a cat.”
“So? Cats have feelings too.”
“ ‘Course they do, but I don’t think she told you so.”
“You don’t have any proof.”
After he’d calm down, he liked to make small banter with you
It raised his spirits (plus, it never hurt to see you smile or laugh)
Every now and again, if you couldn’t sleep after, you’d put a record on your record player and play some old fourties’ music, swaying with Bucky until you both felt tired enough
Not only was it calming, but it was very romantic, and something Bucky had always excelled at
The slowness and familiarity of the music helped ground him even more, plus it lulled you both back to sleep
"Feelin' tired, doll?" Bucky asked, watching your eyelids look up at him half-lidded. You were adorable, it made his heart swell.
"Mhmm," You mumbled, leaning your head on his chest. Bucky's strong arms lifted you up, keeping you close to his chest as he carried you both back to bed to get some well deserved rest.
All in all, nightmares with Bucky were never fun, but you two always had each other, and that was comfort enough for Bucky.
#ohmygod i loved this#eee i love bucky#bucky barnes#bucky barnes one shot#bucky barnes x reader#bucky barnes imagines#winter solider#bucky barnes fluff

Ok I’m thinking maybe when he shows up she’s obviously freaked out but like she doesn’t wanna show it cause maybe pope opened up in his letters a bit about idk his struggles and insecurities and so she’s freaked out and is thinking “ok this guy is def a freak BUT I can’t let him know I’m feeling like that” she doesn’t wanna make him feel bad or run off. You said she’s a nurse which can lend into her having experience with people struggling who need help so she knows how to approach things with sensitivity and empathy so she’s trying to do that with poor while also like being totally freaked and not wanting to put herself in harms way accidentally. But she’s prob also conflicted!! Cause she gets along with him she’s close with him she’s invested in him after years of letters back and forth so she’s tryna balance all these feelings and perceptions of Pope that she’s experiencing.
Omg see now you’ve got ME rambling 🩵
omg 10000% i love this. THANK YOU FOR RAMBLING🩷 i literally stopped writing exactly at the part where he shows up, but i think this is so accurate. i mean realistically of course she would be freaking out. she does think about him pretty often, she did think he was cute in the 30 second video she watched before she picked him to write the letter to. she did connect with him over dozens of letters, spilled about her life and worries and concerns and probably read the letters where he'd tell her that she's gonna figure it out and get through it because she's a smart girl like a hundred times. and she is an empath!!! (because we said so). she knows about bits and pieces of his family life, the twin he doesn't talk to, brothers that don't visit him that often. but still, he found her using a couple of old letters and google so she definitely needs to be concerned. she's not stupid, she never put the name of her school or the hospital where she got a job or anything like that, and he still found her. and he was in prison, so she knows she can't just play around like she met him on a dating app or something.
but then she remembers the letters, and how sad he still looks, like he needs a hug really badly, and how they're both quiet but they don't need to talk a lot to understand each other. i mean the way pope talks is so straightforward but he has so many internal thoughts running through his head and it seems a lot quieter when he's sitting there with you while you tend to his hand. and you can't ignore that it still feels like he knows you, even through an almost two year old letter. (like when he asks about the cat you got. if you still are looking for a job in that other department. do you still go to the beach in the morning like when you used to write him letters? so on and so forth..)
idk i think personally it would be so hard not to fall for him i mean kids do not send letters to prisoners and then take them home but in erwinsvow universe... if its pope cody... :)

A ramble on cats:
Cats aren’t selfish.
People keep telling me this, that cats are just selfish and you’re better off with a dog because they actually care about you. As someone who a) has a cat, b) has lived with cats for most of her life AND was trained to work with them through the humane society, and c) has a special interest in communication, including feline communication, I have a lot to say about that.
First of all, cats are incredibly intelligent, emotional, and sensitive creatures. In fact, they are one of the smartest animals out there—their cognitive abilities have been compared to that of a 2 year old human! Just like how we have things that we don’t like and make us uncomfortable, they do too. Just like how if a toddler will get upset if something makes them uncomfortable, cats do too.
Cats are not selfish, they simply have boundaries. And if they are selfish for that, then my goodness we’re just as selfish.
Cats are highly sensitive. There will be things that upset them. Loud noises are incredibly uncomfortable for me because I am very sound sensitive. Guess what! My cat doesn’t like loud noises either because of how good cats’ hearing is. We both hate how loud my door is, and relish in a quiet house. Both my cat and I both get overstimulated and deal with that in different ways. Just like how I need a lot of alone time, so does my cat— she does that by relaxing in my room while I’m out in the living room. If I call her over but she wants to be alone, guess what! She wont come. Boundary set, “I need my time alone over here” made clear. If she wants to spend time with me she absolutely will.
My cat also has very clear boundaries about being picked up. She’s okay with me picking her up, but she will let me know when she either does not want to, or when she would like to be put down. She also does NOT like being picked up by my friends. Boundary set! I’ll pick her up if she lets me, put her down when she tells me to, and tell my friends not to pick her up unless she shows otherwise.
She will also sometimes give what looks like mixed signals. She’ll jump into my lap but start swishing her tail when I pet her. It may seem confusing at first, and it took me a sec to figure it out, but she’s communicating! She wants to be in my lap, but she doesn’t want to be pet. Simple— I stopped petting her, let her be in my lap how she wanted, and she was happy.
This isn’t her being a selfish prick, this is her communicating what she is comfortable with— and quite frankly, I would be a bad cat mom not to learn how she communicates that so I can respect that.
I’ve seen with my own eyes that she isn’t a selfish creature. In fact, she looks out for me in many ways I am grateful for. If I am upset or in pain because of my conditions, she will come over and curl up in my lap for cuddles— the weight of her on my lap is incredibly helpful for me. If I am doing something she’s concerned about she will keep a close eye on me from a distance. I was passed out on the floor due to a POTS episode a couple weeks back, and she curled up around my arm and licked my hand the entire time. She didn’t leave till she knew I was okay. This is not a selfish creature. This is a highly sensitive creature.
Another fun fact is that while cats absolutely have their own unique personalities, they also mirror aspects of your personality over time. So if you think your cat is a prick, you may want to look at how you’re treating them and possibly, your own personality.
Now, I am not bashing dogs. I love dogs as well— I had 9 dogs over the course of my childhood! Dogs are wonderful! But stop calling cats selfish. They’re not.
Ramble over, thank you for listening to my Ted talk lol
#cats#cats are not selfish#cats of tumblr#my cat is my baby#stop telling me I’d be better off with a dog#my cat has just as many sensory needs as I do#communication is key#chronically ill

Hiiii Inso ^^
I’m glad you’re having so much fun answering our questions 🤭 I have so MANY for you 😂 (I might’ve been the one with the love language question lol).
The way you view and characterise these boys is so beautiful and we can truly see how much work you put into every single thought. Thank you for that 🫶🏻
Now to one of my many questions:
How do they deal with trust? Like we could see that some of them are more vary while others are more open and approachable. I would love to see your view on this topic, especially with all the different emotions they had to go through at the time before they met our MC and afterwards.
All the love and stay hydrated! 🤍
Stella xx
Hahaha, the mask comes off!!! Hello, thank you for both your questions 😊💛
This is fun! I’m answering this both in the sense of “trust of strangers” and “trust of loved ones”, and I started rambling about their relationships with RON!MC without thinking, so I guess this answer is mostly for within that universe specifically now…??
I don’t actually have any preexisting notes on the subject (the closest thing in my notes is probably on dealing with jealousy, which isn’t even that close) so this is all off the dome!
(Same disclaimer as before: this is my fictionalized characterization! It’s not serious!)
I know Chan is really friendly and personable, but I also think of him as pretty wary of strangers, which you can actually see in the early chapters of RON! Maybe a natural consequence of his protective tendencies…? But I also think that once Chan takes someone as one of his people, they can kind of do anything to him, not in the sense that he’ll just take whatever treatment lying down, but in the sense that he’s willing to assume good faith and work to resolve the issue. I think an action would have to be kind of catastrophically bad to be considered a betrayal, but once he DOES think of it that way, there’s not much walking back from it. Otherwise, he just accepts being hurt to some extent as an element of knowing someone; they won’t stop being his person just because they messed up. In RON, you see his switch with MC probably when they have that first phone call; she’s a stranger and to some extent a threat, and then suddenly he’s talking to her, and she’s nice and interesting and they mesh well — and then she’s in a scary situation, and he’s like, “Okay, she needs us and we need her and we’re taking her.” Case closed!
I don’t think of Lino as being very wary of strangers! He’s obviously kind of shy hahaha, but that’s different from being on guard. Lino seems to have a really solid sense of self and a solid down-to-earth sort of confidence, too; I don’t think he sees demons when they aren’t there. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, Lino lets people in less but trusts naturally; when things do go wrong, he’ll get mad or irritated just like anyone else, but isn’t especially prone to blame himself or the other person. There are a few times where the other members call Lino kind of simple or childlike in his thinking — not in a demeaning way, but just in that things kind of are what they are for him. He just doesn’t seem like the type to overthink it. He picks MC pretty quick, and he’s really sweet with her; and even though MC is kind of a mess and does stumble through issues with some of the pack members, her and Lino are honestly pretty solid. It’s like he doesn’t even give her the opportunity to fight him.
Trust in interpersonal relationships is a little more complicated for Changbin? It isn’t all or nothing. Like, “I can trust MC to do [this]”, but also, “MC isn’t the type to do [this] for me”, and those assertions (and many, many others like it) coexist naturally in his head. For Chan, becoming one of his people is kind of like being lassoed in a field; it just happens, and suddenly you’re in. Lino is similar; he picks people to be special to him, like a cat. But for Changbin it’s more a series of gates, becoming a dependable person, being trusted with more and more of him. I also think, unlike the other two so far, ‘trust’ and ‘affection’ exist separately for Changbin. I think he’s not very wary of strangers, though! Assumes good intentions. Obviously this isn’t universal (he’s much more uncertain of MC than some of the others at first, for one, and I can’t blame him; they ARE idols, hahaha) but even so. With Changbin and MC, I think you see his affection grow first and trust a little slower; at least for now, she’s not the most dependable person to him.
Kind of like Lino but much more extreme, Hyunjin is very shy but not very wary of strangers to me! Unlike Lino, he seems like the type to warm up and become comfortable fast, if the conditions are right. When it comes to loved ones, my first instinct is to say Hyunjin is really trusting (he is!) — but I also think it’s more complicated than that! I think Hyunjin trusts the intentions and goodness of his loved ones but is also surprisingly uncertain about vague things like the ~the future~, and is prone to getting insecure when he slows down and thinks about things too hard. Things like, “why do they like me”, or “what if this happened”… 100% the type to have a nightmare that you broke up with him and take it really hard. Like he’s going to do his best to keep the things he has, but that doesn’t mean he’s sure he’ll succeed. In his relationship with MC, I think we sometimes see this emerge as jealousy, especially at people outside the pack; other than that, we actually see some of his thoughts about this in a near-ish chapter (I want to sayyyy… 28?).
Han is wary of strangers! And less prone to trusting easily, even in close, warm interpersonal relationships. I do think some people get categorized as a dependable person in his head (like Lino, Chan, Seungmin… probably a lot of the members…) and that makes things a lot easier — but MC is not a dependable person to him yet 😅 Like Changbin, I think trust and affection are separate values to Han, and they go up and down independently of each other. Unlike Changbin, I think Han is prone to blame — of himself, of others… I write him really haunted by that feeling of being different and separate from other people — which seems to have gotten better with time, at least with the other members! But that kind of thinking doesn’t just go away overnight, really. In his relationship with MC, in the beginning, I think the excitement over the romance of it all kind of overrides the fear — but you still see the fear, just in different manifestations, like not wanting to tell the others because some part of him is certain it’s a bad idea. And I think you really see him struggle with this pedestal he’s put MC on in later chapters, where conflict happens and he blames her and himself and others and none of that blame has anywhere productive to go. I almost think Han doesn’t trust himself enough to trust her.
Felix is friendly and not wary of strangers, hahahaha. When he met MC that first night, he would have told her anything about himself if she had shown any kind of interest. It’s not quite recklessness, but I think Felix is someone who assumes good intentions and puts a lot of stock in instinct? If he has a good feeling about someone, then that’s weighed heavily in his mind. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, I think it’s not even about trust, really; if Felix loves someone, they already have his heart, and they can do whatever they want with it. Like the others, it isn’t that he doesn’t get angry or irritated, but those feelings just exist separately from the trust itself, and I think it would be really hard to lose it. When it comes to MC specifically, Felix is really protective of her, almost kind of coddling, and frames a lot of their hiccups as having to do more with him than her: “I should have done this”, “I shouldn’t have said this”, etc etc. I think she could really devastate him and he wouldn’t trust her any less 😭
I would put Seungmin in the middle of wariness towards strangers? I think he’s just pretty middle-of-the-road and reasonable about it. You kind of see it in his introduction scenes, where he tries to feel out MC’s intentions/knowledge, but once he gets the sense she really has no clue who they are, he accepts that pretty easily. In interpersonal relationships, Seungmin trusts in the intentions of the people he loves, but maybe not always in their actions or abilities; and like Felix, I think when it comes to bigger conflicts, he’s prone to thinking of things within the framework of, “What could I have done differently”. He’s pretty emotionally intelligent and probably less prone to blame, so I think his trust is pretty stable once built. If we’re still going with the door (opens all at once) vs gates (building of trust takes time) dichotomy, Seungmin is more gates than door. With MC, Seungmin genuinely thinks she’s a really good person, but he also thinks she makes a lot of bad decisions, so ‘trust in her as a human being’ and ‘trust in her to achieve the best outcome in this scenario’ are just completely separate.
I.N is shy and wary of strangers; I don’t necessarily think he assumes bad intentions, but I think he just is a more closed-off person. Lino comments in RON at one point that I.N and Han are the most wary and I stand by that! In interpersonal relationships, I think gaining his trust is somewhere in between the gate and the door, but once you have it, it’s really solid. Like he feels like he’s really felt you out already, and you’ve passed the test…? At that point, I think I.N trusts a lot but doesn’t lean that much, so you can’t always feel it; with MC, she really feels like she can trust in him (especially later!), but when she stops and thinks about it, she isn’t really sure if he trusts her back. He does, but I think for I.N, pulling his weight and doing his best and not making a fuss are part of loving someone, so it’s just kind of a different point of view. That being said, I think I.N can be a little extreme, and I think like Chan if you lose his trust in a catastrophic way, you might never get it back.
Wow, I talked a lot! And I am 100% sure I went off topic, hahahaha. Some most-to-leasts to summarize:
MTL wary of strangers: I.N > Han > Chan > Seungmin > Changbin > Felix > Lino > Hyunjin
MTL shy: I.N > Hyunjin > Han > Lino > Seungmin > Changbin > Chan > Felix
MTL certain in his loved ones: Lino > Chan > Felix > I.N > Seungmin > Hyunjin > Changbin > Han
MTL affected by betrayal: Chan > I.N > Hyunjin > Changbin > Han > Seungmin > Felix > Lino
Gates (trust is a journey) to door (trust extremists): Changbin > Seungmin > Han > Hyunjin > I.N > Lino > Chan > Felix
Thanks for the ask! I hope this was fun and not too rambling 😆
