Kurt put a pointed finger to Blaine’s chin and raised it slightly, exposing the full length of his neck. “You look delicious,” Kurt said, his eyes widening hungrily, irises colouring red and pupils turning into slits. He wasn’t hiding his desire for Blaine in the slightest.
Blaine swallowed and felt heat rising in his cheeks. He tilted his head back further for the vampire, not quite able to determine how much of his actions were completely voluntary.
“Blushing, are you? Cute. I haven’t blushed in over 400 years,” Kurt flirted darkly. “Looks good on you. Very appetising, so nice and full.”
Kurt was talking about his blood, Blaine knew. The blood he was gonna draw from him any minute now. With his teeth. Straight from his neck. Blaine’s breath hitched. “You can… you can drink from me now, if you wan’t.”
“Oh sweetheart, not yet.” Kurt winked. He floated around Blaine and settled behind him, his lips grazing the skin below his ear. “I like to prepare my food before eat. Get it nice and hot, you know?” He trailed his fingers lightly over Blaine’s body as he floated around him again. “Maybe it would taste even better stuffed. What do you think?”
“I...” Blaine felt his blood rush in his ears. He nodded. “Stuffing sounds good.”
“Excellent.”

Even when Harry was little, he’d known he’d have an odd path in life. Just because it was odd, didn’t mean it’d be bad, but it would make him absolutely stand out in the crowd.        When Y/N was young she didn’t see herself having any extraordinary adventures. Sure, she’d travel and explore the world with its secrets, but she didn’t have any plans to draw the attention of the masses. That was until Harry’d come into her life.        They were both young, still kids in that tender age where childhood crossed into teenage years, when they met. For Harry, it was like one of those scenes in the movies where the pretty girl walks into a room and a billion fans make her hair look like the wind is sweeping through it, and her eyes glisten like gemstones. Also known as the 'love at first sight' scene.        For Y/N, it was hard to keep her breakfast down as she walked inside the classroom, twenty pairs of scrutinous eyes on her, trying to figure out if the new girl was a predator or prey.        Luckily for Y/N, the biology teacher wasn’t a total witch and didn’t make her present herself to the class, and just pointed to the free seat next to a curly-haired boy. Luckily for Harry, that free seat was right next to him.        With a sigh, she dropped her heavy backpack beside the chair, giving the boy a shy glance, and was surprised to see a genuine and large grin right back at her. It wasn’t the kind people gave when they had bad thoughts. It was the kind people gave when they were truly excited and wanted to give a good impression. Y/N’s chest grew warm at the thought she might actually make a friend that day. And she did.        “I’m Harry.” He extended his hand for her to take, the grin never leaving his face.        She gave him a big, relieved smile. “I’m Y/N.”        Ever since then they were not only lab partners in classes they shared (which was biology, physics and math), but also in mischief. Together they managed to enrage Anne, annoy Gemma and absolutely horrify Y/M/N, and whenever one went down, the other made sure to go down as well.        So when a few years down the line, Harry had told Y/N about his idea to audition for X-factor she wasn’t surprised one bit.        “I mean, as long as you don’t trip and break your nose on stage, you’ll be fine.”        For that, she received a slap on her arm from him.        “I’m just saying!” Y/N defended herself. “You’re great at singing, Mrs Aberdeen certainly thinks so, you don’t have two complete left feet, and you’re alright to look at.”        That for the first time since the decision and application had been submitted, made Harry smile. He loved how easily Y/N was able to lighten the mood, to take his thoughts away from the bad, and just erase them with her wit and smile.
       “Besides.” She nudged his shoulder with hers and then intertwined their fingers. “I, Gem and our Mums will be right there for you. Won’t even blink until the end of the performance.”        With how her insides trembled in excitement and fear for her best friend, it truly seemed to Y/N she hadn’t blinked at all on that fateful day. Her breath hitched when the judges were talking. She couldn’t even remember what they said, all of it turning into white noise.        And then he got through, and Y/N screamed so much she was sure she’d blown out Anne’s eardrums, and had hugged Harry so tightly she was afraid she’d broken a rib. But with his victory also came a fear, because, for the first time in Y/N’s life, she was terrified as to where she’d stand in Harry’s. Since day one it’d been secure, but now, with the newfound fame of X-factor and who knows what kind of an amazing future, she didn’t know if he’d throw her to the curb, simply forget about the mundane friend from high school or maybe use her for something.        But it wasn’t like that. Not one bit. After insane hours of rehearsals, Y/N was one of the three people he always called. It was her, his Mum and Gem. Always. And he loved to listen to her speaking of what was happening at school, how the lessons were, which teacher turned out to be hooking up with which. As much as Harry knew he was made for the extraordinary, he loved the ordinary Y/N brought in his life. She was his safe harbour. But what he never agreed with were her own thoughts she was meant for a simple life, so he took it upon himself to bring a little bit of eccentricity in hers, as he explained how he’d gotten united into a band with four other boys, now going by ‘One Direction’, and it was his mission to join his newfound friends with the most important friend he'd had.        “This is Y/N,” Harry introduced her to the guys after one of their late-night practices, one where they weren’t being filmed. “If you do anything that even mildly upsets her, I’ll kill you in your sleep.”        The slap against his arm made him let out an ‘Ow!’ while the rest of the boys laughed and welcomed her with open arms.        In a weird way, Y/N became part of the band. She didn’t sing or play any instruments, but she was always around, gave her input on songs and setlists. That kind of closeness made all of the fears and doubts about losing a place in Harry’s life disappear. She was his personal hype-man while at the same time knocked him down a few pegs whenever the fame started to get to his head.        She was there for his highs and lows, for the break-ups and break-off in the band, and watched as he ventured into a solo career as much as she could with school and all, but when summer break rolled around it was like Harry couldn't get rid of her even if he tried. Not that he wanted. Sharing the success and happiness with his best friend was one of the biggest rewards he could have.        And Y/N would never admit it because it’d boost Harry’s already elephant-like ego, at least that’s what she said, but she kind of liked the attention she received because of him, especially because most of it was pleasant.        Had she been terrified that being known as Harry Styles best friend would make people think she was just a gold-digger, seeking fame and leeching it off from him? Yes. And there were people like that. But ninety-five percent of what people said on her social media accounts was actually nice, some even said ‘thank you’ that there was a person like her in Harry’s life to keep things real, and most importantly – cared about him through it all.        Harry also saw those comments; he loved to read about how people saw just how much Y/N cared, and it kind of stirred something in him. He didn’t know when exactly, but it was around the age of twenty-four for him and twenty-three for Y/N when he started looking at his friend in a different light. And it bloody terrified him. He didn’t know if she felt the same, and the thought of putting his heart on the line like that only for the possibility of it being crushed was the scariest thing ever.        He did, however, have an inclination as to what incident had prompted them to surface. The feelings that were. It was a night after a party. Y/N was on winter break from her master’s at uni, which meant he used every opportunity to spend time with her.        The hangover was real, I mean it’s what you got by mixing vodka, tequila and beer into an empty Sprite bottle and chugging it. Harry stumbled over sleeping bodies on his way to the kitchen in search for some leftover pizza he was sure he and Y/N in their drunkenness had ordered, as well as to make two cups of black coffee. He knew she hated the taste, but cold junk food and bitter coffee always did the trick with her. That was when he’d found her.        Although he’d woken up in Y/N’s room, she hadn’t been next to him. Instead, as it turned out, she’d gone on a food search sometime before him and had passed out on the couch, a Cookie Monster onesie on her body, but most importantly his signature pearls around her neck. And one of her hands even rested against her collarbone, as if scared someone would take them away from her.        That’d been the first time his heart had flipped in his chest at the sight of her, but most definitely not the last.        He did however keep this change in his emotions to himself. He wasn’t really sure what it was, so it would be unfair to dump that on Y/N and have her figure it out for him because he didn’t know where she stood on her own, let alone do the work for him.        Luckily, despite the tornado of feelings, their friendship didn’t falter, and when his Vogue cover came out, he was incredibly nervous for people to see it, but especially for those who mattered the most to him, like his Mum, sister and Y/N. Especially Y/N, for her opinion had become the most important one outside his blood relatives. After all, all his thoughts went to – if we dated, would she be as proud of me as she was of me as a friend?        Her support meant the most because he was away in the middle of filming; he had no way of getting physical comfort, so all of the messages, calls, social media posts and FaceTimes was the world to him, especially when Y/N sent a picture of herself with three copies of the magazine, two beside her head as she laid on her bed and one clutched to her chest, which she also posted on Instagram with the caption ‘Can’t hug you for real right now, so this will have to do. When I do get to you @harrystyles, I’ll crush your ribs with my love. And that is a threat.’        Then the comments came in from the rest, and one stood out more than the others.        Bring Back Manly Men.        At first, he felt odd about it. It didn’t really bother him, but at the same time, it made him sad. He knew that he was seen as somewhat of a controversial figure, as he painted nails, wore frilly blouses and now full-on dresses, which were all typically categorized as feminine things, but he never understood why a nail colour or the shape of a shirt suddenly became exclusively for just one gender. Which is why he was so grateful to have Y/N in his life.        “I mean, anatomically speaking, men should be wearing dresses and women trousers. It’s you who have all the dangly bits,” she said through a bite of food. “The Scots have been onto it since the beginning.”        Harry threw his head back in a laugh, shifting an arm behind his head. “So I assume your favourite pic is the one in the kilt?”        “Well, it did remind me of that awful punk phase I had back in school with all those safety pins, only in a more tasteful way, but no. My favourite one is you in that brown, grey off-shoulder jacket thing.”        “Why?”        Y/N wiggled her brows at him. “Shows enough of your cleavage but leaves enough for imagination.”        “Of fucking course.” Harry snorted, shaking his head. “Objectifying much?”        “What? I’m not going to deny that my best friend is a sexy beast.”        He wouldn’t say it out loud, but when she called him her friend, it made his heart clench in a painful way. Harry had been trying to be a bit flirtier around her, but given his open nature as it was, Y/N hadn’t seemed to notice it, nor had she seemed to notice how he looked at her while she was frowning at her computer screen.        Harry’d had relationships with some women who could be considered the most beautiful in the world, but if he’d had to say, in his opinion, who’d receive that title, it’d be Y/N. The way she snorted when she laughed too hard, the way small crow lines had already appeared next to her eyes from how much she smiled and the way her forehead creased when she was concentrating. It enthralled him to no end. He could read her life’s story on her face, how she’d lived and thought and experienced, unlike so many people he met who couldn’t move a muscle.        Though the reason she was so concentrated in that moment was because thousands of people had tagged her in a tweet of a woman, she’d heard of for the first time in her life (because Harry had been trying to keep that one off her radar), and what she saw made all the blood boil in her body more than any other hate comment had.        Without hesitation, Y/N atted her and tweeted “Bring back manly men. Please! Millions of people would let him raw them WHILE WEARING THE DRESS. I mean you tried, so I’ll give you the gold star you so desperately want, but that was pathetic.”        At that same moment, a notification popped up on the screen of Harry’s phone. He only had notifications on for one person, and when he saw what was written, he gasped, looking at Y/N. “You did not just do that!”        “What?” Y/N shrugged biting down on the chocolate bar she’d been savouring for the last half hour of their conversation. “I just said what everyone was thinking. Besides what the fuck does ��bring back manly men’ even mean? Go chop some wood? Fight a bear in the Siberian woods? Have your ‘friends’ stab you to death at a political meeting?”        “You’re a menace.”        Y/N winked popping the last bit of the chocolate in her mouth. “Only to those who dare go for the people I love.”        His heart fluttered at the last word, but all he could do was mask it with a large grin and shake of his head.        For another hour they spent talking, Y/N kept hyping Harry up, tried to get as many plot details of the movie he was filming, while he avoided as many spoilers as possible and attempted to steer the conversation somewhere else, but when that happened, Y/N jumped onto his music, which he had told her all about. In fact, there wasn’t a music video made without her approval, and neither would his next one be. “You’ll fly out to see me film for ‘Treat People With Kindness’, right?”        Y/N sighed, giving him a sad smile. She hated disappointing Harry. “I’d love to. But you know with everything going on, I don’t think I’ll be able to.”        “Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be in it.”        She gasped, in real excitement. “Well, why didn’t you say so from the start?!”        “So that’s what this friendship has come to. I’m just your gateway to celebrities?”        “Harry you’ve always been just my gateway to the people living in LaLa Land.” But she let out a small breath much like she’d done before. “I really do want to come, Harry. You know that; I miss you like crazy. But Phoebe or no Phoebe, I don’t think I can.”        Harry bit his lip nodding, but he still needed to try one more time. “Is there anything I can say or do to get you here?”        “Get me a private jet and a quarantine mansion?”        “Deal.”        “Woah! Wait!” Y/N pretty much jumped up from her position in bed. “That was a joke! Harry Edward Styles, I swear to God, if you try an –“        But with a giant grin, he just blew Y/N a kiss and ended the call.        She was quite terrified if she was being honest, that Harry would do what she’d asked. He already had once. It'd been around Christmas time while she was still in First Year at uni, and she’d seen a glistening necklace at a jewellery store display. She hadn’t said anything, hadn’t even uttered a word, but just seeing the sparkle in Y/N’s eyes, was enough for Harry to make the decision and gift it for her.        When the next day, around five AM her time, she got a call from Harry’s manager Jeff, she was ready to rip both of them a new one, an e-mail with a plane ticket popping up in her inbox.        “I swear I’ll poison your drinks when I see you,” she’d grumbled, but couldn’t hide the excitement as she threw everything she could in the suitcase. “And no one will find your bodies, mark my words, Azoff.”        He snorted. “Yeah, tell that to the FBI agent listening in on this call.”        “Fuck. Gave myself away,” she said softly, giggling right after.        “You know he’s stoked beyond belief.” Jeff piped up. “He literally jumped out of the bed this morning, and during the dance rehearsals he didn’t miss a step.”        That made Y/N’s heart warm. “Well, you can tell him to curb it a bit. Otherwise, I’ll just stay at the fucking mansion – which, by the way, it was a joke, Jeff! I’m pissed enough he’s spending money on me as it is, let alone such a chunk on the plane, you didn't have to get me an actual mansion.”        “You know, for you, he’d give away all of it.”        “Yes, well, he might need it for his funeral, if he keeps spending it on me and on shit like this.”        The man shook his head but didn’t say anything else. He wasn’t the only one trying to drop hints to Y/N that Harry felt something more, but he’d leave it to the man himself. He didn’t need to possibly ruin everything, and have her decide not to come. His client was nightmare enough without her around, because Harry was like day and night when Y/N finally arrived on set for ‘Treat People With Kindness’.        To say he enveloped her in a hug would be an understatement as he didn’t let go of her for ten solid minutes, having grabbed her by the underside of the thighs and sat down on the ground just so he could prolong the feeling of being with Y/N.        The fact that she’d actually gone for it and hadn’t scolded Harry too much for spending that insane amount of money, for having brought a small piece of home to LA with herself where they were filming, made him now fully acknowledge the true extent of his feelings, especially as she didn’t pull away from their embrace, rather hid her face in the crook of his neck.        I mean, in the end, he did have to let her go because everyone had to get back to shooting, but not before Y/N had stripped the meticulous jacket from him, and went to have a glance at herself in the large mirror, one of the costume designers playing along and adjusting the clothing on her body, as if she was going to be the one performing.        Harry felt someone slide up to him and he looked over to his left, a smiling Phoebe standing there. She nudged his shoulder with hers. “You’re in love with her, aren’t you?”        He nodded, looking back over to where Y/N was still looking at herself in the mirror, wearing the heavy jacket as if it was nothing like it was made for her. “I’m a cliché, I know. But I can’t help it.”        “Of course, you can.” She squeezed his side. “All you gotta do is tell her.”        But it wasn’t that easy. Comparatively, getting Y/N to appear in the video was easier than coming to terms with the fact, all they’d ever remain would be friends if he didn’t do anything.        Yet the shoot for the video ended as quickly as it had started, and Y/N needed to fly back to the UK to defend her PhD paper, and Harry had to go back to filming ‘Don’t Worry Darling’, thousands of miles stretching between them once more. And Harry was a romantic, he couldn’t confess over FaceTime. Besides, he wanted to make it a special evening for her, plan something out, rather than risk a shitty connection cutting him off mid-word.        He hated it though. It’d been almost four years since Harry had realised his feelings had developed from just friendly into romantic, and still, he hadn’t said anything. Even the people who’d never met Y/N in person like Florence Pugh saw what was going on.        But unlike the cast and crew of ‘Treat People With Kindness’ who had to deal with his pining for maybe a couple of weeks, it’d been almost half a year for her at that point. Did she just want to call Y/N and tell her how Harry felt? Sure. She’d had enough of him coming into her trailer only to fall down onto her pillow and whine. But it wasn’t her place. So instead, she was going to figure out a way to get Y/N to the set and make him tell her himself.        Getting Harry’s phone away from him should’ve been the inspiration to the next ‘Mission Impossible’ script though, because it took her literally a whole day to fish it out from his coat's pocket, and she only had about ten seconds to find Y/N’s number (which wasn’t that hard given how it was the number with literally hundreds of calls next to it) and put it in her own phone.        Once their filming was done for the day, Florence rebutted Harry’s invitation to a movie night, saying a massive headache was coming on, so he wished her a good night and with slumped shoulders went to sulk on his own. Which is why she practically sprinted to her own trailer to finally call Y/N        An unsure ‘hello?’ greeted her ears before she responded. “Hey, this is Florence… Pugh.”        That stunned Y/N into silence for a few seconds before she spluttered out a greeting and said ‘hi’ as well. “Not to be rude, but how did you get my number?”        “Stole it from Harry’s phone. Look, he’s miserable. Keeps moping around, and I can’t take it anymore. Last night I found him crying in his pillow with your shirt over it.”        “What? Why?”        “Because it didn’t smell like you anymore.”        Y/N’s heart broke. “Why didn’t he tell me anything? We just talked, and he said he was fine. God, that man is so dumb sometimes.”        “Is there any way you could find a way to get here?” Florence asked biting down her lip.        She heard Y/N sigh at the other end of the line. “I’ll – I’ll try and figure something out. Have to know what’s going on at work, I mean it has been like two months since the video, so maybe…” She was more so talking to herself, but then remembered about Florence. “Listen, can I give you a message when I find out if my boss will let me?”        “Of course!” The actress was excited about the possibility of Y/N getting here, as long as it got Harry out of his depressive mood.        “Oh, and I’ll need to know what kind of restrictions are on set. I’ll figure something out with flights and quarantine, but I have zero clue as to what’s it like where you’re filming.”        Florence waved her off, even though she couldn’t see the motion. “Leave that to me. Just get your ass over here before the guy cries himself dry.”        It was a struggle though on all three ends – Harry was still moping, because not only had Y/N’s shirt lost its smell of her, but homesickness was hitting full force, Florence was getting more and more desperate as she attempted to take his mind off of things, but nothing seemed to work, and Y/N was trying to get on any possible flight to Harry while arranging two tests and an AirBnB she could self-isolate in for two weeks while attempting to set up her work from afar at the same time.        Two days after Florence’s call, Y/N sent her a message ‘Flying in tomorrow at 4 AM. Don’t tell Harry. He’ll feel even shittier cause I have to stay alone in quarantine. First test came back negative.”        She sighed in relief at the message and immediately texted back ‘i’ve got you a set pass ready, just need a picture. selfie will do. also, masks are mandatory on the lot, so bring those.’        Immediately Y/N sent a thumbs up, and a picture of herself she didn’t absolutely despise to be used on the ID card. All that was left was to pack. And spend two weeks in an attempt of not going crazy with anticipation before seeing Harry.        Those two weeks turned out to be worse than the two months between the music video shoot and going to the filming lot. Because throughout then, Y/N knew her only access to him would be through FaceTime, but to be about twenty minutes away from the man without the ability to touch him was pure torture, but at least Harry seemed completely oblivious to the change in her surroundings.        As they still continued on with their calls, not once did he mention her background, or how the paintings suddenly had managed to switch positions or the fact that Y/N didn’t even own paintings. She was sure she could’ve been missing an arm, and he wouldn’t have mentioned it with how tired he looked.        “Have you even slept, Har?”        “Not really,” he groaned, getting more comfortable in his bed. “We’ve had a bunch of early shoots and then late nights, ‘cause we need to get the continuity for the scenes, and then the day’s full of Zoom calls, and well, I can’t not call you.”        Y/N scoffed, scolding him. “You know damn well I won’t be offended if we sacrifice a couple of calls for you to get some proper sleep.”        “I know, but I will.”        Y/N sighed, knowing in a way it was her fault. She could tell him she no longer was hours of time zones away, but rather watched the same sunset and sunrise as him, but she also knew Harry, and he would be unable to stay away from her until her quarantine was over.        She was quite happy she’d sat through the fourteen mandatory days, because when she got on set, even though Harry was usually good at keeping his composure during a scene, despite the mask, he’d recognise Y/N anywhere, and all of the lines flew out of his head.        “Jack?” Florence’s hand came to cup Harry’s cheek, trying to bring him back on track. “You alright?”        But he didn’t even care about improvising to get out of the flub as his lips were split apart by a grin, and he dashed away, a loud ‘CUT!’ ringing throughout the set, but Harry already had Y/N in his arms, spinning the girl around.        “Best friends my ass,” Florence murmured as she went to the two.        Harry was speechless, Y/N’s face in between his hands as he looked her up and down. “How are you here? What? Why?”        “Thank Florence.” Y/N gave an attempt at motioning to the actress with her head. She set the whole thing up.”        Harry’s head whipped to his scene partner. “You knew Y/N was here for two weeks and told me nothing?”        “Your brain short-circuited when you saw her! You wouldn’t be of no use on set at all if I had.”        Harry scoffed, throwing an arm over Y/N’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s get away from this meanie.” But as he walked away, he looked over his shoulder and mouthed a grateful ‘thank you’ to her.        All Florence could hope for was that he’d get it together and confess, but it didn’t seem like he was in any sort of a rush. Y/N was set to be there for three weeks, but the thought of the woman leaving without knowing how Harry felt, leaving him in a sea of his own heartache, made her miserable, especially after a night they’d all spent together.        Harry really wanted Y/N to get to know the people he worked with so he invited the ones closest to him for a movie night, during which he himself had been the first one to actually fall asleep, of course.        For most of it, as ‘Westworld’ ran on in the background, he spent curled up in Y/N’s lap, his head resting against her chest with her fingers weaving through the shortened locks. She had to get used to the length, motion automatically wanting to go on longer than it was possible to. Soon enough, the soothing motions lulled her to sleep as well, their bodies leaning into one another and perfectly fitting together.        As tired as Florence was of seeing Harry, a person who’d become her friend now pine for someone so hard, it was absolutely heart-melting to watch the two interact. Everyone could see Y/N had the same feelings as Harry did for her, only she hid them a bit better. A little, but not by a lot.        No friends acted the way those two did around one another. Sure, people could be touchy, but not like that, not with such intimacy behind the motions. She felt like she was being a little creepy as she pulled out her phone to take a picture, but it was too cute not to.        A loud noise from somewhere outside set made Y/N shoot up straight, and Florence held her breath as she clutched onto her phone, having swiped it accidentally into video mode and filming the whole thing.        “No,” Harry whined, a hand reaching up for Y/N and grabbing at her elbow. “Come back. ‘S too early.”        She just nodded, grumbling something unintelligible but possibly along the lines of ‘don’t make me throw hands’ before laying down and snuggling into Harry’s chest.        Florence let out a large sigh of relief and decided to get some sleep as well before their annoying four AM alarm woke them up for set.        This time it was the other way around, as Y/N whined for Harry to ‘come back and keep her warm’.        Florence watched as Harry slipped out of Y/N’s grasp, but not before pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead and a whispered a promise to ‘see her when the Sun’s up’. The second the trailer door was closed, she slapped his shoulder, and Harry gasped in shock. “What'dya do that for?”        “Stop that! Stop that stupid dance!” She stomped her foot on the ground. “I’m sick and tired of watching you watch her with that dumb longing expression on your face. I can’t take it anymore. Why do you think I went through all that trouble to get her here?”        “I told you I would!”        She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Look, I know it’s not my place or anything, but she does like you. A lot.”        Harry threw her an uncertain gaze. “And how do you know?”        “Because that woman spent two weeks in self-isolation just to see you! She’s gone through how many of those awful Covid tests just to go and visit you! She’s dropped everything for you, has supported you through so much, and never fails to boost you up.”        “That’s what friends do.”        “No.” Florence shook her head. “That kind of loyalty… that’s what people in love give. I haven’t talked to my best friend in like a month. What’s the longest you’ve gone without speaking to Y/N?”        And with that question, she left Harry to ponder not only his feelings but the girl’s he was in love with as well. Because if he had to be honest, the reason he’d been dragging everything out, the reason he’d stayed pining for Y/N for years on end was that he tried to write everything she did off as something a childhood best friend would do.        The truth was more terrifying than anything because once that came to light, it’d change everything, and Harry didn’t know if he was ready. He wanted it, desperately so if it meant Y/N becoming someone he could love freely and openly, but not if by the end of it, she'd disappear from his life, leaving a hole the size of his heart in his chest.        His thoughts were cut short as someone knocked on the ‘Hair&Make-up’ door, and an assistant let in a pouting Y/N. Well, he couldn’t’ see the pout behind the mask, but he definitely knew it was there, making a smile come on his own face.        She plopped down in an empty sofa and crossed her arms. “I was cold.”        Harry snorted, wanting to shake his head, but didn't as to not ruin the hair stylist’s work. “You’re always cold.”        “And you’re a living furnace.”        “ ‘S that why you like cuddling? Leeching off my warmth?”        The same assistant who’d let Y/N in handed her a cup of coffee, which she was ready to kiss the woman for, but opted for a ‘thank you’. “We’ve established I only use you to get to other celebs. What makes you think I wouldn’t use you for those sort of things.”        For a moment, the trailer settled into silence, as Y/N enjoyed her morning coffee while the crew kept doing their own work.        “It’s so weird,” Y/N piped up, eyes racking up and down Harry’s body. “Don’t even wanna really look at you like that.”        He let out a mock gasp of hurt. “What d’ya mean? Am I suddenly repulsive to you?”        “No!” she let out a laugh. “It’s just odd seeing you without the tattoos. They’re such a huge part of you, even the dumb ones. Can’t really imagine you any differently.”        “Would you love me any differently without them?” The question was bold, even though he knew she did love him, he had to start making moves.        “No,” Y/N shook her head. “I don’t think so. I believe I’d be a different person then as well, but I’d love you all the same. As long as you’d do the same with me.”        Harry nodded looking down at his hands then back up at her, catching her eyes through the reflection in the mirror. “Don’t think there’s a dimension out there where I don’t love you.”        “I mean that is a bold statement,” Y/N said, sipping on the remnants of her coffee. “What if I’m like a weird, cat-skinning psychopath in one dimension? Would you love me even then?”        “Jesus Christ, Y/L/N, do you just normally come up with those gruesome scenarios or is it a hobby?”        She wiggled her eyebrows, standing up and throwing away the paper cup. “There’s a reason I have a VPN and clean my search history. I’ll see you in your trailer?”        “Yeah.” Harry nodded and smiled. “I’ll be there in thirty minutes.”        The next half-hour he kept hyping himself up, about how he was actually going to do it, but Florence intercepted him right as he was turning down the way his trailer stood. “How are you gonna do it?”        “I – “ Harry huffed and placed his hands on his hips. “In the beginning, I had like a whole romantic outing planned, but… I’ve dragged this on long enough, so I think I’ll just tell her.”        “Okay, good.” Florence nodded and slapped his shoulder in approval. “And if I don’t hear that trailer rocking, I will throw you in a ditch.”        Harry’s eyes widened at the statement, fully knowing she meant her words, but she was already half-way down the track, blond hair swishing behind her back.        It was then or never.        Slowly he opened his own trailer door as if it was Y/N’s place not his, but by the looks of how she’d sprawled out on his bed, she had made herself right at home. Just like she’d done it on the first day of school, but just with his heart.        “Hey!” She smiled looking at him. “You ready to film?”        “Yeah, but umm… I kind of wanted to talk to you beforehand.”        Y/N’s brows furrowed at Harry’s serious tone, so she sat up, nodding. “Sure. Is everything alright?” “It’s nothing bad, at least I hope you won’t take it in a bad way... I’ve actually been wanting to tell you this since that winter’s break party you had while doing your masters...” He let out a small chuckle but seeing Y/N’s eyes widen in a panic he stopped. “Oh, God,” she moaned. “You have a kid! Oh my God.” “What? No!” Harry spluttered. “Why the hell is the first thing you assume that I have a kid?” “I don’t know!” She was now standing facing him completely. “We’ve never had secrets between us, especially for as long as you’ve apparently kept them, what am I supposed to think? Maybe one of the girls you hooked up with got pregnant, and you’ve been hiding the fact you’re a baby daddy because you know I wouldn’t be able to keep the fact I can be the cool drunk aunt to myself.” All of that came out as is she’d prepared it ages ago. “Well, no.” Harry shook his head stepping closer so he could be chest to chest with Y/N. “I’m not anyone’s baby daddy. At least I don’t think so, but umm... when that moment would come... when I have a kid...” He looked up at the ceiling and sighed before lifting a gentle hand to cup her cheek. I wouldn’t want you to be the drunk aunt. I um...” There goes nothing. “I’d kinda like if you were the mom.” “Of course, I’ll be the Godmother!” Both of them said at the same time, making the other’s brain stumble over the words said. “Wait, mom?” Y/N’s question was breathless. “Like donate my eggs or some shit?” “No like, I’ve been in love with you for close to four years, and I wanna try and build a future with you, where you’re more than just my best friend.”        “Oh.”        That was all that managed to escape her mouth as he fully opened his heart, and Harry couldn’t lie – it shattered. He didn’t know what he was expecting, but it was more than that. “That’s...” Y/N huffed sitting down on the bed. “That’s a lot to take in Harry. Like a lot.” “I know.” He sighed and sat down next to her. “Which is why I’ve been pushing this away for as long as I could, but... it was time. It wasn’t fair to you or me to keep on living like that. Look.” Harry took her palm in his. “Whatever you want us to be, we’ll be that. I - I mean I’ll be heartbroken if you say you don’t feel the same, but no matter what you tell me now, I won’t let you leave my life. I love you, and I’m in love with you. This is your choice which way you chose to go with.” Y/N shook her head, interlacing their fingers and finally looking up at him. “I don’t want you to be heartbroken. It’s the last thing, I’d ever want to see you like. And umm well, if it takes me using the pair of ovaries I have to admit I’ve been in love with you too to change that, I guess I’ll have to say it. I’m in love with you too.” Harry’s eyes glimmered with unshed tears of happiness, as he looked at Y/N like she’d hung the stars in the sky. Not that it mattered. He always looked at her like that. “You mean it?” “Yeah,” she chuckled, wiping away a few stray pearls from her own cheeks. “I guess I always thought I’d end up the drunk aunt in your life, so that’s why I thought you’d ask me to be whatever future child’s Godmother. But I love you, and I’m in love with you too.” “Can I – “ Fuck, Harry was too giddy for his own good. “Can I kiss you?” And when Y/N chuckled, nodding he swore he already was in heaven. “Yes, please.”        At first, the touch of his lips was gentle, almost afraid, but the second he pressed them to Y/N’s, and she gasped at the sensation, it became full of lust as passion, years of pent-up pining and angst and just plain old stupidity surfacing and morphing itself into a steamy make-out session.        In a split second, she was sprawled out on Harry’s bed, his toned body leaning over hers and teasing hands moving along her sides, making her squirm and ache for more of his touch, but she wasn’t the only one who wanted to explore a body with a new mindset of what was possible.        As Y/N moaned from Harry’s tongue invading her mouth, her hand couldn’t help itself as it slid down his chest, and her finger flicked against the button of his trousers.        “Can I touch you there?” Y/N whispered against his mouth, and Harry eagerly nodded.        “Please. Been dreaming about this for literally years.”        Smiling, she allowed him to continue and explore her mouth with his tongue, intoxicated on one another’s taste. In fact, Y/N was so far gone just from the kiss, she forgot how a fly worked and needed Harry’s help to open it.        “Get back here,” she grumbled as he chuckled, having leaned up a bit to make it easier for her to get the offensive piece of clothing off. “We’ll see how you fare with a bra.”        “Oh, I’m an expert.” His hands trailed to her shoulder where he snapped one of the straps against her skin, making her yelp.        “You do not want to do that when my hand is an inch away from your dick.”        But the threat had no merit to it, as she dipped her palm behind Harry’s boxers while his mouth went to soothe the sting and leave a little mark on her skin, which he’d get to admire later on.        The second, Y/N wrapped her hand around his cock an involuntary moan escaped into the air, as she gripped him. Fuck, she couldn’t wait until he was inside her, because, and it might sound a little cliché given how they were best friends who’d fallen in love with one another, but she was one hundred percent sure, he was made exactly for her.        But no matter how much she twisted her hand or how gently or roughly she rubbed the tip, he couldn’t get hard, and Harry was on the verge of tears, which Y/N saw and instantly pulled away, cupping his face.        “I’m sorry,” he choked out. “Fuck, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”        “Hey!” Y/N cooed. “None of that. It’s alright. Shit happens.”        Harry nodded understanding that she was right, but he still felt shitty and well, he felt insecure about it. “I just. Fuck. Usually, when I think of you, I’m hard in like a second.”        And although all Y/N wanted to do was smirk and tease him about the fact that he thought of her while wanking himself off, that wasn’t the right moment.        “I promise, you turn me on, you do." He sniffled. "This had never happened before.” But Y/N wasn’t offended or sad, and her laugh wasn’t mocking or trying to hurt him.        “Harry you’re dead tired.” She cupped his cheek with one of her hands, and if he’d been ice cream he would’ve literally melted. “You had to wake up at four in the fucking morning and won’t go to sleep until two the next day. Let yourself rest a bit.”        “But,” he whined and then huffed. “But I wanna love on you. Wanna show you just how crazy I am about you.”        “And you will. You know I’ll always hold you to your word. But this won’t be fun for either of us if mid-fuck you suddenly collapse on me asleep. I don’t need to go to the A and E and explain the broken nose is because my boyfriend decided to take a nap while shagging. A nap on my face.”        But Harry hadn’t really heard anything she’d said after Y/N mentioned the b-word, a dopey smile on his face. “I’m your boyfriend? You really want me like that?”        “I mean I would prefer if you were Phoebe…”        Harry pinched her side, making her squeal before tackling her in a hug. “Shut up!”        And that’s how the two fell asleep (and were woken up twenty minutes later by an assistant in a panic given how Harry was supposed to be on set in five minutes)  – wrapped up in one another’s arms, smiles on their faces, and no longer best friends, but lovers.

Enemies Closer
MASTERLIST
Happy smutty Spencer Saturday! This fic has been hidden in the depths of my brain for way too long. I knew I wanted to do an enemies to lover fic for a while but didn’t have much more for it until recently. The title comes from the famous saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”.
I want to say a big thank you to all of my followers who sent in quips, jabs and bantery remarks. I tried to use them all because they were all so wonderful. Thank you to @dreatine @andiebeaword @sammy-jo1977 @redbullchick and the numerous anons who contributed. Also a big thank you to @multifandommandy for coming up with the idea of the reader interviewing the little girl, it really helped move the story along and add to it. I appreciate all your ideas and help 💕
Okay, enjoy the 10k words of sassy, smutty Spencer Reid. Happy reading!

Spencer was walking back to his desk when he heard JJ’s voice.
“Really? When?”
There was a pause on her end of the phone conversation. She looked up and saw Spencer, immediately waving him over.
Spencer’s interest was piqued. He wondered what was going on, especially since there was a huge grin on her face. He approached her desk just as JJ spoke again.
“That sounds great, mom. I can’t wait.”
Spencer smiled. JJ and her mom were extremely close and he always looked forward to her visits—she made the best triple chocolate chip cookies he’d ever tasted. He opened his mouth to tell her to say hi from him, when she practically read his mind.
“By the way Spencer says hi.” 
JJ shot him a wink, grinning at the fact that she knew him well enough to know exactly what he was about to say. He chuckled to himself. They definitely were close enough to know what one another was thinking.
“Sounds good. See you then. Bye.”
JJ hung up her phone, turning in her chair to face him fully.
“Is your mom coming to visit?”
“She is,” JJ smiled, “And she’s bringing your favorite triple chocolate chip cookies.”
“Bless that woman,” he chuckled.
“There’s also something else,” JJ trailed off nervously, a flicker of worry in her blue eyes.
“What?”
“Y/N’s visiting too...and she’s kinda stuck with me, or well us for the next week. So if we get a case, she’s coming with us.”
Spencer groaned loudly.
“Why?”
“Mom has a business seminar in downtown D.C. and you know Will took the boys to Disney World this week. I’m not going to make her sit at home alone for a week.”
“Why? It would be for the greater good of humanity. I’ll even be willing to chip in for a hotel room for her,” Spencer said, hoping JJ would actually take him up on the offer, “Particularly one across the country.” 
“Spencer,” JJ eyed him warily, “Emily already said it was okay. She knows to stay out of the way while we work.”
“Yet she’s always in my way.”
“Spence, she’s not that bad. Why do you hate her so much?” she asked.
“Last time she visited she “accidentally” spilled an entire pot of coffee on my favorite work shirt!” Spencer protested.
“Just like you “accidentally” locked her in an interrogation room?” JJ raised a brow.
Yeah, that hadn’t been his finest moment. But she had driven him crazy that day.
“She wandered in there on her own. I was just helping the situation along,” he shrugged innocently.
“You’re lucky she didn’t burn the building down,” JJ mumbled.
“Yeah, well, she pushed me to my limit that day. Sorry.”
“What is it with you two? You fight worse than her and I ever did.”
“She’s annoying, rude and drives me crazy. I honestly can’t believe she’s your sister, let alone related to you. JJ, you know I love you, but I just can’t stand her. We’re just two completely different people that probably will never get along.”
“Alright, alright,” JJ held her hands up in defeat, “At least try to be on your best behavior?”
“No promises,” he grumbled.
“Hey, look at it this way. At least you get cookies,” she stood, patting his arm before walking away.
He was positive even cookies wouldn’t make up for this.
“Y/N while you’re here, can you please try to be nice to your sister’s coworkers?”
You suppressed a groan.
You were currently in the elevator with your mother at the FBI in Quantico, riding up the numerous floors to the Behavioral Analysis Unit, where your sister JJ worked. In your arms were a stack of containers, filled with sweets your mom had made for the team.
There were her famous triple chocolate chip cookies made with milk, dark and white chocolate chips, some apple cobbler, cupcakes and even a strawberry pie. JJ’s team were suckers for Sandy Jareau’s delicacies.
“Mom, I love the team. They’re like extended family, you know that.”
“You know what I mean.”
Your mom gave you a look that you swore only mothers could perfect. It was partly calling out your bullshit and part disciplinary all at the same time. It was amazing, really, 29 years old and you were still getting the “you better not act out” look from her. What were you, eight?
“I mean that lovely Dr. Reid. You’re always so mean to him.”
“He starts it.”
Okay, maybe you were eight.
“Y/N.”
The warning tone in her voice was all you needed to keep your mouth shut.
“All I’m saying is I don’t want another call from JJ saying you’ve gotten locked in an interrogation room and almost got arrested for assaulting a FBI agent.”
“Okay that was one time!” you said, exasperated, “Granted, it wasn’t my finest hour. But still. It’s not like I’m that bad all the time.”
“Really?” your mom looked at you, all knowingly, “What about that one time at JJ’s housewarming party?”
“I swear I didn’t glue his shoes to the floor!”
In your defense, that had been Derek Morgan, back when he was still working in the FBI, prior to his resignation. Of course though, no one believed that he had done it, apparently including your mother.
“Whether you did it or not, that’s not the point. You would’ve done it given the opportunity.”
You couldn’t deny that. 
“Just don’t stress JJ out any more than she is. She said when the two of you are fighting it’s like trying to corral two feisty chihuahuas.”
You sighed, defeated.
“I’ll try to be on my best behavior mom.”
“Thank you. That’s all I ask.”
The elevator dinged, alerting you that you’d arrived at your designated floor and the metal doors slid open to reveal your sister and of course, Spencer.
Spencer Reid, the biggest nemesis of your entire life.
He was absolutely infuriating. 
Tall, imposing, three PhDs, IQ of 187, Doctor Spencer Reid. That’s right, he wasn’t just Agent Reid, he was Dr. Reid. It was eye roll inducing.
He was a know-it-all, quite literally. If anyone said something even the slightest bit wrong, he didn’t hesitate to correct them. A person could breathe wrong and he’d probably correct that.
He constantly spewed facts. That was annoying enough in itself. You had no idea how JJ put up with it. But then again she was best friends with the guy. That blew your mind enough in itself.
If he wasn’t so annoying, he might actually be attractive. With a stature of over six feet, he was lean but without being a beanpole. His light brown curls always looked like he’d just rolled out of bed and/or never taken a brush to his hair. His eyes were definitely interesting though. You could never tell if they were brown, green or maybe even hazel.
Not that you’d been paying that close of attention. Nor did you care.
He had significantly more facial hair than the last time you’d seen him. Not a bad look for him, you had to give him that.
JJ once told you that a college class he’d taught for two weeks was filled with nothing but young girls auditing his course. She said it had confused Spencer. It confused you too cause you didn’t see how he was that attractive. He was kinda cute, if you liked the whole snobby, genius who doesn’t brush his hair, smartass type.
Oddly enough, you’d known him for half your life, yet couldn’t recall how or when you started hating him. It just seems like it had been that way all along, when in fact, it hadn’t.
“Mom! Y/N!” JJ exclaimed, grinning wide.
You felt a burst of happiness in your chest. You’d missed your sister. Despite the 11 year age difference, you guys were close growing up.
You were still a baby when your older sister Rosalyn had committed suicide, so you didn’t remember much about her, sadly. It was really hard on JJ as she was the one to find her. But as she’d told you much later, you’d helped her grieve. Reliving memories and keeping Rosalyn’s memory alive in sharing stories with you helped her heal after such a traumatic situation. It was often that you’d wished you’d had the chance to know your oldest sister, but with her death came an impenetrable close bond between you and JJ.
JJ immediately wrapped her arms around your mother, hugging her tight. You gave a nod of your head, your arms too full to be able to hug her at the moment.
“I’ll just go put these in the briefing room,” you said.
You turned, aiming to head through the glass doors of the BAU’s entrance, but instead ran right into Spencer.
“Here, I got it,” he took several of the boxes out of your arms so you could see properly again, “If only to save you from injuring anyone else.”
“My knight in shining armor,” you muttered sarcastically.
“Watch where you’re going next time.”
“You watch where you’re going. Besides, I didn’t need your help,” you retorted.
“Obviously, you did,” Spencer mumbled, following you through the doors.
You hadn’t even made it all the way through the entrance when you heard your mom and JJ sigh in unison. You heard JJ’s words loud and clear, as well.
“They’re already bickering less than five minutes in. Must be a new record.”
It kinda was. Usually, the two of you managed to avoid each other until the inevitable crossing of paths occurred. Today, though, you both had started in, right off the bat.
You placed the numerous arrays of desserts on the round table, knowing by tomorrow they’d pretty much all be gone.
“You’re welcome for the help,” Spencer snarked, setting down the few containers he’d carried.
You couldn’t help it, you rolled your eyes.
“I didn’t ask for it. So there’s no reason to thank you.”
“It’s the polite thing to do. Oh, wait. I forgot you don’t know how to be polite. My bad.”
You glared at him, the hatred stirring in your gut.
“I wish I could say it’s been a pleasure to see you again, Y/N, but it hasn’t,” Spencer said.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go greet your mother who actually deserves and appreciates my kindness.”
“Kindness, my ass,” you muttered as he walked away.
He turned, almost to the door.
“What was that?”
“Nothing,” you smiled in a fake, sweet matter.
He scoffed, turning and walking away.
Only when his back was turned did your fake demeanor drop and you stuck your tongue out at him.
This man would be the death of you yet.
“Penelope just got us a case. Luckily, it’s right here in our backyard so you can just sit in while we work. But please try to control your mouth.”
“JJ, I’m almost 30 years old,” you replied.
“Yes, but you still have a sharp tongue.”
“I promise not to make a scene, cause any trouble or be in the way. I know you have to work Jayj.”
After a round of greetings and hugs from the team and promises to stay longer when she returned from her business seminar, your mom had dashed off, leaving you at the BAU.
You looked up to see Emily Prentiss, JJ’s friend and boss motioning for her to join them in the briefing room.
“The team has to be debriefed about this case. Are you going to be okay here?”
You spun back and forth in her desk chair, motioning to the book you’d brought to read.
“I’ll be fine. Go work,” you shooed her.
JJ bounded off and up the stairs to the meeting and you picked up your book, ready to be entranced by the wonderful fantasy world of your book, far away from your reality.
-
“Why do people read that garbage? It does nothing but fills a person’s head with nonsense. It’s stupid and a waste of time. Although, now that I think of it, that’s probably a perfect fit for you.”
You peered up over the edge of your book.
You’d just gotten to a good part in your book. Your heroine was just getting ready to destroy the enemy and his lair, saving her love interest from the clutches of evil. It was a shame you couldn’t throw Spencer in the cage that your heroine was saving her lover from. Now that would make the book perfect.
“I’m reading. If you don’t mind.”
“Well it offends me. At least read something good. War and Peace is a good recommendation. Good story. I read it at breakfast last weekend,” Spencer said.
You turned up your nose. Leave it to Spencer to brag about his ability to read 20,000 words a minute and offer atrocious book recommendations in the same sentence. That in itself was offensive enough to you.
“This is why you don’t get dates, isn’t it?” you snipped.
He ignored the quip. 
“I’m supposed to ask you for help with the case.”
Now this was interesting. You raised an eyebrow.
“What makes you think I want to help you?”
“You do realize the entire world doesn’t revolve around you, right?” Spencer’s eyes narrowed, “There’s kids that are going missing.”
That sobered you quickly. You dropped any anger you had at him, for the moment, realizing how serious the matter was.
“How? What’s happening?”
“Four kids have gone missing. We can’t figure out how or why. They haven’t shown up yet, so we’re hopeful that they’re still alive,” Spencer said, lips narrowed into a thin line.
“What do you need my help for then?”
“Because to understand what happened to them, we need to profile these kids.”
“Okay so we know from his parents, six year old Erik Yates was incredibly shy,” JJ said, looking at the whiteboard where the pictures of the four missing children were hung.
“He wouldn’t have talked to his own school teacher, let alone a stranger,” David Rossi said.
“But his best friend, Carlos Hoffman also went missing with him. They were having a sleepover, so he’d been at Erik’s house,” Emily added.
“And Carlos was the more outgoing of the two, wasn’t he?” you asked.
“Yup,” Tara said, flipping through her notes, “According to the parents, wherever Carlos went Erik was always close behind. So if they encountered a stranger, if Carlos was willing to go, Erik would likely follow.”
“I don’t know about that,” you piped in, “I’ve seen friendships like that in my class. Even if the kid is quiet, if they know something is wrong, they either say something to their friend or they just don’t do it period. I find it hard to believe that Erik would go along with someone he wasn’t comfortable with.”
“Says the one that’s not a profiler,” Spencer mumbled from where he was standing, examining the evidence board.
JJ shot him a look, before returning to the conversation. You pretended not to hear that one and for once, bit your tongue. You wouldn’t accomplish anything by arguing with Spencer at the moment.
“So let’s go back to the top,” Matt said, “Mrs. Yates went to the door and there was someone there either selling something or had an excuse made up for the unsub to guilt trip money out of her. She leaves to get her purse. The kids are in the living room playing. Then suddenly, by the time she gets back, all three are gone.”
“That’s how her story goes,” Luke said, looking through interview notes.
“What about the other children?” you asked, “How were they taken?”
“One was kidnapped at the park, the other at the grocery store,” Spencer answered.
“What if it’s someone familiar with their routines?” you asked.
You weren’t anywhere close to being a profiler, but you knew enough from JJ to sort of get by in this conversation.
“A lot of my kids and their families have strict routines. Usually because it benefits the child and/or they have other children that they keep on a schedule too. Wouldn’t that mean that it’s someone that they know?”
“It could,” Emily said, “But unfortunately that doesn’t narrow down much because the unsub could also just be stalking these families before the kidnapping. The unsub could potentially be a complete stranger to them.”
“Have you asked the parents of the children if they could think of anyone who could do this? Is there anyone that might overlap with these families?” you inquired.
JJ had opened her mouth to answer you, but of course, Spencer had to add his two cents. 
“Are you an idiot? Of course, we did,” Spencer snapped, “That’s always the first thing we do.”
You bristled. Even when working together, he couldn’t be civil. He had the nerve to try and insult you and make you feel stupid, even though all you were trying to do was help.
“I’m not an idiot, Spencer,” you grit out.
“Oh really? You sure do act like one sometimes,” he retorted, writing something on the board.
Your defenses snapped back into place and you were ready to shoot back a remark when JJ interrupted you.
“Hey, hey, you guys. Quit it before I have to send you both into separate corners for timeout. We’re all on the same team here, trying to accomplish the same thing. Let’s just focus.”
“Matt, Dave, JJ, I want you to go and reinterview the parents. Y/N has a point. We need to make absolutely sure there’s no one in these families lives that connect with one another,” Emily ordered.
“Luke, Tara; both of you go to the schools. See if there’s been any strangers lurking around. We can’t rule out a sexual predator just yet, but it would help vastly if we could.”
“Penelope, you and I are going to work on a deep dive of these families.”
Garcia’s face scrunched at Emily’s order; she hated diving into people’s personal lives, but unfortunately it sometimes came with the job.
“We’re going to make sure that these parents aren’t holding back any secrets that could possibly help us.”
Emily turned towards you and Spencer next.
“Spence, I want you to start on a geo profile, see if we can figure out the vicinity of the unsub’s hunting grounds. Maybe we might even be able to find where he’s holding them.”
“On it.”
Spencer was already grabbing a map, spreading it across the round table.
“Y/N, I want you to help him.”
Spencer’s head snapped up.
“Hell no. Emily please-”
She held up her hand.
“I don’t want to hear it. That’s an order. If you disobey, I will put you behind a desk for a month.”
He relented, but you could tell he wasn’t happy about it. Not like you were pleased at all by it either.
“Try not to burn the room down while you’re working,” she instructed, walking out to meet Garcia in her lair.
Once she left, Spencer spun towards you.
“Let’s get one thing clear. You’re not to bother me while I work. You stay out of my way. I don’t need your help, nor do I want it. I can do my work just fine without you. I’ve been doing it for 15 years,” he snapped.
“Don’t flatter yourself, Spencer. Even I can tell when your IQ gets slashed to 60.”
“That’s the best you got, Y/N? I didn’t realize they let bimbos into the FBI. Oh wait...that’s right. I’m the one that’s the actual agent here. What is it you do again?”
“I’m a kindergarten teacher. You know that, you dumbass or else I wouldn’t be here helping you.”
“Oh, guess there’s no sleeping to the top in that field. Although, I wouldn’t put it past you.”
Your fists clenched. Spencer made you mad like no other could. Not even JJ could ever make you this mad.
“Just sit down and shut up while the adults work, okay?” he sneered at you.
“I’m not a child!”
You crossed your arms defensively. You weren’t about to let him get in all the insults. Ignoring him never worked, he was too obnoxious. So you just played it like he did, by slinging insults like dodgeballs at him.
“Well if you’re going to act like a child, I’m going to treat you like a child!” he threw back.
His eyes were blazing, his cheeks gone pink from his anger. 
“Funny because you act more immature than my kindergartners.”
“WILL YOU TWO CAN IT AND GET TO WORK?!”
You both jumped at the sound of Garcia yelling from the bullpen. She made the motion that she’d be keeping her eyes on you two. You threw one more scowl Spencer’s way before flopping down on the sofa on the other side of the room.
This week was going to last an eternity.
Two days passed with no luck on finding an unsub, but they’d managed to put a profile together based on what little they did know.
The entire team was worried and on edge. Of course, that made the situation between you and Spencer even more volatile.
“Are you sure you’re an actual qualified agent? All you do is stand in front of a room full of police or your team and say smart things and gesture with your hands,” you mimicked Spencer, doing exactly what he was just doing earlier while they gave the profile.
“I do not look like that! You look like a baby dinosaur who doesn’t know how to walk,” he jeered.
“Yes, you do. All I’m saying is these civil service exams must be really easy to pass nowadays, huh?” you smirked.
“You know I’d ask if you could really be any more infuriating, but I’m afraid you’d take that as a challenge,” Spencer huffed, “Besides I’m supposed to be “nice” to you, since you’ve been so helpful.”
“I’m sorry, what was that?” you grinned mischievously, “I’ve been what?”
“I’m just quoting what Emily said. In my opinion you’ve been more like a pain in my ass,” he mumbled, looking through one of the case files.
“Oh sure because without me, would you’ve figured out that the unsub is a woman?”
“Probably. Don’t pat yourself on the back, sweetheart. You’re no match for us real profilers, Y/N.”
“I may not be, but you’ve met your match with me, pretty boy,” the nickname falling from your lips with deep sarcasm, “You can’t help but fight with me. For some reason I get under your skin and frankly, I enjoy it. It’s nice to know you can actually squirm, Spencer Reid.”
His lips pursed and he was about to speak when the phone rang. He answered it, putting it on speaker. Garcia’s excited voice came through it.
“Reid, gather the team. You won’t believe what I’ve found.”
“So it turns out, one of our families did have a secret. Although, it was something we weren’t even looking for,” Penelope said.
“What’s that Garcia?” Tara asked.
“The family of the first missing child: Daisy Rowe, had a nanny once. Her name is Kali Dye.”
Garcia hit the remote button to pull up the woman’s picture on the big screen at the front of the room.
“What does she have to do with our case?” Luke asked.
She stared at him, exasperated.
“If I could finish what I was saying, you’d know,” Penelope griped.
“Okay, okay,” Luke chuckled, “Carry on.”
You lived for Luke and Penelope’s playful banter. It was like the complete opposite of you and Spencer. They liked each other at the end of the day—not to mention everyone knew deep down they were definitely attracted to one another. Their banter was flirty. Yours and Spencer’s was anything but.
“As I was saying,” Penelope continued, “Kali was the nanny to the Rowe family back in 2016 when Daisy was only two years old. There was an incident where apparently she turned her back on little Daisy playing in the backyard. Daisy got too near the pool and almost drowned. She was in the hospital for a few days afterwards. The parents were obviously furious. I’m guessing Mrs. Rowe told all her friends about it because according to my research, Kali’s nannying career was basically ruined.”
“So you think this is an act of revenge? Did she nanny for any of the other kids she kidnapped?” Emily asked.
“No, that’s where it gets weird. She seems to have no connection to these other children,” Garcia said.
“Well we know who our unsub most likely is,” JJ said, “But how are we going to find out where she and the kids are?”
“I checked for that. There’s no significant places that she would take them, her old family house isn’t even in the state and besides it’s been sold years ago,” Penelope answered.
Emily’s phone rang as the team continued to throw around ideas of where to find Kali. 
“Prentiss.”
You watched Emily’s face quickly change expressions, from neutral to shock, to worry, back to businesslike.
“Okay, bring her to Quantico. We’ll need to interview her.”
Emily hung up, turning to the team.
“The second child kidnapped, Eden Jenson just showed up at a police station in D.C. She managed to get away and ran for help. We need to interview her, but she hasn’t spoken yet. The chief of the police station is having one of his detectives drive here so we can interview her,” Emily filled the rest of the team in.
“I’ll talk to her. I’m pretty good at getting kids to talk,” Spencer said.
“Actually, I think we should let Y/N do it,” JJ said, looking at Emily.
“What?! She has no experience interviewing a witness, much less a victim!” Spencer exclaimed.
“I worked in art therapy when I was getting my degree as a teacher. I still use some in my class, plus I’m a teacher,” you said defiantly, “I know how to talk to kids.”
“I agree with JJ,” Emily said, “But Spencer, sit in with her just in case you need to intervene.”
You were sure he was going to do plenty of that.
An hour later, you and Spencer were sitting in front of a little, terrified Eden. Her—what you assumed were once neat—blonde pigtails were in all types of disarray. Pieces stood up everywhere while other strands came loose, hanging around her face. She was clutching her bunny stuffie, which you figured had been with her when she was kidnapped.
She had refused to talk to anyone, shrinking away frightfully at any imposing adults. You had to restrain yourself from literally pushing Spencer out the door when she shrunk even more into herself when she saw Spencer’s tall frame.
She’d been previously asked if she was hungry or thirsty in which she barely nodded. Now, she sat a bit less rigidly as she ate her Goldfish crackers and sipped on her juice box.
“Eden, my name is Y/N and this is my…friend, Spencer.”
You had to admit, you had a rough time getting that one out. 
“We just want to talk to you, okay?” you said.
The little girl just stared back at you, wide eyed.
“Do you like to color?” you asked.
Still no response.
You pulled out some paper and a pack of crayons from a bin next to the desk. You pushed them across towards her.
“Could you draw something for us?”
It took a moment of Eden staring at the items before she opened the box and picked up a crayon.
“Do you mind if we ask you some questions while you color?”
You didn’t expect an answer, so you weren’t surprised when none came.
“Are you six years old? Six is a fun age. Are you in kindergarten or first grade?”
Eden looked up at you, from underneath her lashes, just briefly, before returning to drawing.
“I’m a kindergarten teacher myself. I’m used to seeing kids your age all the time. It’s spring break though and I miss my kids terribly. Do you miss going to school?”
Spencer shifted in his seat. You knew time was a delicate thing right now, but you were trying to get her to trust you.
“Eden?” 
She looked up again. If she was surprised to hear Spencer speak for the first time, she didn’t show it.
“Could you describe the place you were at?”
Fear flashed in her eyes and she dropped her crayon, hugging tightly to her bunny.
You glared at Spencer.
“Just keep drawing, Eden. Okay? We’ll be right back,” you said, standing up, your hand a death grip on his arm.
Once the two of you had stepped out of the room and the door was closed behind you, you whirled on him.
“How can you be so stupid? I thought you were supposed to be a genius!”
“Y/N, you know we’re running on limited time to find those kids. We don’t know if Kali will hurt them or not!”
“I realize that. I’m trying to make her comfortable enough to talk about it.”
“Avoiding it doesn’t seem to be helping either,” he grimaced, hands on his hips.
“You saw what happened when you brought it up! She was terrified!”
“When dealing with a traumatized child you should tell them information about the situation they were in. It’s best they learn it from a trusted adult. Besides, it’s most likely they want to talk about it, but just don’t know how to bring it up.”
“And how would you know all of this, doctor?”
“Because contrary to your beliefs about me, I actually know how to do my job and how to do it well. I’ve dealt with things like this many times before. 60% of adults report being traumatized in childhood. 26% of children in the United States alone will witness or experience a traumatic event before the age of four.”
You blinked, unable to process so much information at once.
“Are you even human?” 
“Are you?” Spencer shot back, eyes narrowed.
“You know, with all things considered, I’d thought you’d gotten the idea that I really hate you.” you sneered.
“Really? And here I thought that was your version of flirting,” he retaliated, sarcastically.
“Moron,” you muttered under your breath.
“Now, if you’re through calling me names, I’ve got work to do,” he said, reaching behind you for the doorknob.
“Wait,” you grabbed his arm, “Just let me try again first? Please? If I get stuck or need you, I’ll let you know.”
It was some of the most civil words you’d said to him in a long time. But you didn’t want to give up on this little girl. You wanted to help her and prove to Spencer and yourself if you were being honest, that you could do it.
He must’ve noticed your serious tone and pleading eyes because he relented. He nodded and you turned to go back in.
Eden was waiting for you when you returned, back to clutching her bunny.
“Don’t you want to finish your picture?” you asked, sitting down in front of her.
She pushed it across to you.
“Oh are you done?”
She nodded.
You picked up the picture, noticing four stick figures. Two seemed to be girls, two seemed to be boys. They looked like they could represent all four missing kids.
“Are these you and your friends?” you asked gently.
She didn’t say anything for a beat, then came a soft, timid voice.
“They aren’t my friends...at least not until a few days ago.”
“My friends here, they found out that you didn’t know these other three children. Is that right?”
Eden nodded again.
“Do you know the woman who took you?”
“No,” she said, equally as quiet as before.
“You’re doing a great job, Eden,” you smiled at her, hoping to encourage her, “Just a few more questions, okay?”
Another nod.
“Can you describe where you were?”
“I...I don’t know,” her voice trembled, as if she were going to cry.
You heard the door open up behind you and you turned to see Spencer. He gave you a terse shake of his head, as if telling you now was not the time to snap at him.
“Eden?” Spencer came around to her side and crouched by her, “You remember me, right? I’m Spencer.”
She nodded hesitantly.
“I want to try to help you help Miss Y/N here. To tell her what the place looked like that you were at.”
“But I don’t remember,” Eden said, frowning.
“I think you do. You know how when you’re afraid, you hide?” Spencer asked gently.
Eden nodded her answer.
“Well, that’s kinda what your brain is doing. It’s scared, so you think you can’t remember. What I want to do is have you to close your eyes and think back to before you were taken.”
“No, I’m scared,” Eden whimpered, hugging the stuffie.
“It’ll be okay. I’m right here,” he offered her his hand, which she took reluctantly, “I’ll be right here the entire time. If things get too scary, just squeeze my hand and we can stop. Alright?”
“Alright.”
She closed her eyes, listening to Spencer’s voice.
You were amazed at how soft and gentle he was with her. It was like seeing all of his razor sharp edges he displayed around you, smoothed out. You couldn’t remember if you’d ever heard him like this.
“Just focus on the sound of my voice,” Spencer whispered, “You were playing at the park. What were you doing?”
“Playing on the swing with my bunny,” she said.
“Okay, that’s good Eden, you’re doing wonderful. What do you hear?”
“Lots of kids playing. They’re very loud.”
“What happens next?”
“There’s a lady behind me. She asks if I would like to play in the sandbox with her. I told her yes but I didn’t want to get bunny dirty.”
Eden is trembling now and you eye Spencer warily. He holds his free hand up and you don’t say anything, just yet.
“Very good Eden. Did you go play in the sandbox?”
“No. She took my hand and led me away from the swings. I asked her where she’s going because the sandbox was the other way.”
“Do you want to stop, Eden?” Spencer asked.
“N-No. I a big girl like mommy always says.”
“Okay. What happened then, sweetheart?”
“She grabbed me and put her hand over my mouth. I tried screaming for my mommy, but I couldn’t. She took me to a car.”
“Can you remember what the car looked like?”
“Um, blue. It was blue. It had a lot of doors. It was long too.”
Spencer looked like he realized what she was describing.
“Did the middle door slide open and closed?”
She nodded, her eyes still closed.
“It was big inside with lots of seats. That’s all I saw before she covered my eyes.”
It sounded like an SUV or family van.
“When you were in the car, did you ride for a really long time? Or a short time?”
“A short time.”
You jotted the note down.
“One last question honey. Do you remember anything about the room you were in? What did it look like?”
“Like...like my bedroom. Only much dirtier. And old looking. There’s...there’s flowers on the wall. There’s a lot of toys, but I don’t want to play. I want to go home. Me and my friends are so scared. She’s coming back, she's coming back!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m right here.”
Eden’s eyes snapped open and he enveloped her in his arms, holding her tightly as she trembled.
She didn’t let go of him until her parents arrived.
After kicking the information over to Garcia and her being the goddess she is at finding even the most hidden information, she found the house.
The team had found her car, registered to Kali, but with a false last name. From there, Garcia looked for any run down buildings or homes for rent within 10 to 15 minutes of that park. The team agreed that Kali wouldn’t have bought a house for the simple reason of too much work. She didn’t seem to be that dedicated to a well thought out plan. That was when Garcia discovered an old house rented under the name of Kali Rowe, the same last name of the family she had been a nanny for.
You stayed behind while the team went out to rescue the children and hopefully bring Kali Dye into custody. 
They did.
All four kids were now safely reunited with their parents and Kali had been arrested and hopefully was going to get the help she needed.
Since you hadn’t been there, JJ had filled you in afterwards when everybody had gotten back. You were sitting next to one another in the briefing room, talking, while everything settled down. 
Kali Dye had been so distraught over the loss and destruction of her nannying career. Apparently at one point, she had been a wonderful nanny. What had happened with Daisy, truly was an accident. Whether she had had a mental breakdown or suffered from an unknown or untreated mental illness beforehand, they didn’t know. But she soon became desperate to prove she was a good nanny.
She kidnapped Daisy first, to prove her point. Then three other children that she’d followed, learning their schedules. 
She had taken good care of them, at least in her mind. In reality, she hadn’t hurt them or touched them one bit. She fed them, gave them all attention and all the toys they wanted, to play with.
It was a sad situation, really. But you were glad that the families had a happy ending and their children were back safely in their homes tonight.
“You did good little sis,” JJ smiled, “Keep it up and you may just have to think about switching careers.”
“No thanks,” you chuckled, “I’m happy teaching kids, not seeing them in life threatening situations. I don’t have the heart for that.”
“Spence said you did really well getting Eden to open up,” she said.
“I’m surprised he actually knows how to compliment a person, let alone me,” you scoffed.
“Y/N. Come on. What’s your deal with him? This has been going on for years now.”
“I don’t know. I just can’t stand him.”
“That’s a cop out and you know it,” JJ said, “He’s a good guy. Besides, you used to have a crush on him when you were younger.”
“Ew, did I?” 
You wrinkled your nose, trying to remember. JJ had joined the BAU when you were only 14. A lot had happened in high school, let alone the 15 years since she’d first joined. You didn’t visit her very often because of school and all of your other extracurricular activities, so you hadn’t met the team until about a year after she started.
“You don’t mean the summer after my freshman year, do you?” you asked, “Cause back then he was a cute little dweeb and it lasted like two seconds anyway. I had a case of raging hormones to the point I had a crush on just about anything male with two legs.”
You rolled your eyes, disgusted at the fact she’d even think that you’d have a crush on Spencer. Although deep down, deep, deep, deep down, a little part of you knew that she’d hit the nail on the head.
“Why do you hate him though? He’s my best friend. I love him and I want you two to get along.”
You snorted.
“Yeah, I know you love him. Remember, you told me that you told him that you’ve always loved him? That he was your first love?”
You bit your lip, trying hard to keep the jealous edge out of your tone. This is what you’d tried hard to avoid all these years. You hated that you felt like this but you’d been covering up your true feelings for him and the situation, with anger all these years. If you kept yourself at a distance, you were less likely to get hurt.
How wrong you were.
“Is that what this is about? Because I told Spence I loved him?”
“No.”
Maybe.
“Y/N.”
She gave you the same look that your mother had given you in the elevator just days before.
“Jeez, you’ve got mom’s “look” down pat,” you mumbled.
“Please tell me the truth. Is my confession why you hate him?”
Her eyes pleaded with you and you couldn’t help but cave. She was your sister and your best friend and you knew she cared.
“No. I don’t know, maybe partially. But I disliked him way before that anyway. He’s just a know-it-all smartass, that annoys the shit out of me and is just like every other guy to fall head over heels in love with Jennifer Jareau.”
You grimaced, “For a guy that has an IQ of 187, he sure doesn’t know how to be different from other guys.”
“Okay hold up,” JJ held up her hands, “First of all, he is not head over heels in love with me.”
“JJ, please. You’re not an idiot.”
“I’m serious. He may have been once, but he’s not anymore. We’re best friends and that’s it. Besides, we worked out that mess over a year ago. He’s even dated since then.”
“The kid actually dates? I’m shocked,” you said, putting a hand on your chest in mock surprise.
JJ ignored your antics, continuing on.
“Second. He’s actually a really great guy, Y/N. He’s a real sweetheart, really. It’s just a side of him that you don’t see.”
“Yeah like the dark side of the moon,” you muttered.
“Just give him a chance and try to be nice? You know what mom always said. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Besides, if you want to go for him, that’s fine.”
You laughed outright at that. As if that would happen.
“On that note, I think I’m gonna head back to your place,” you said standing.
“I have to stay a little later to finish up some work. Can you get home okay on your own?”
You assured her you could and you grabbed your purse. 
“Y/N?” she called, as you were about to the glass doors.
“Yeah?” 
“Just think about what I said, okay?”
If you thought you were gonna get a reprieve after that uncomfortable conversation, you were sorely mistaken.
The moment you stepped out of the BAU, you saw Spencer standing, waiting for the elevator, his hands clutching the strap of his tan satchel as he waited.
“Ah, there she is. The woman who saved the day,” he quipped sarcastically.
“Fuck off Reid. I’m not in the mood.”
“You know, I’m actually shocked that you’re good at something besides bitching.”
You ignored him, your teeth clenching.
“I’m surprised you held your tongue as long as you did earlier. Bet that’s a record for you.”
The elevator doors opened and you got on without a word, Spencer following you.
“What? No comebacks? Amazing. Has Spencer Reid actually won for once?”
You whirled on him, dropping your purse to the elevator floor in the process.
“No because you’re full of shit. You’re the most annoying, stubborn ass, infuriating, egocentric, smart aleck in a fancy suit I’ve ever met!”
His eyes narrowed and his mouth hardened. He pulled his satchel over his head, dropping it too, to the floor. He pushed the emergency button of the elevator with such anger, it was amazing that he didn’t break it. The elevator suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?!” you screeched.
Your body was thrumming with anger. You could and likely would pummel him at any second.
“You’re not leaving this elevator until you tell me what the fuck your problem is,” Spencer glared.
“My problem?” you huffed.
“Yes because I have to deal with you jumping down my throat every single time I see you. You’re the most stuck up, spoiled, self centered, bitchy little brat I’ve had to deal with!”
“Ha! You sure you’re not talking about yourself?”
“You know what I think your problem is?” he challenged.
“Go ahead, try me. I’d love to hear.”
“I think, you don’t know how to deal with how you’re really feeling. So you hide it under anger. You lash out every time your feelings threaten to surface. It’s become a defense mechanism. It’s all you know. You fight with me because it’s the only way to protect yourself; you throw words as your daggers. Simply because you can’t get me out of your mind. I push you to limits you don’t want to think about. You may swear and declare that you hate me but in reality, you’d be thrilled if I took you right up against this elevator wall.”
His voice grew deeper with every word that tumbled out of his mouth.
“Are you profiling me? Cause that’s one hell of a reach.”
“Is it though? You wanna know how I figure that? You told me the other day that I met my match. That I can’t help but fight with you because you get under my skin. Well you were right. I do enjoy it and I think you do too. Because it turns you on. It does the same thing to me. You get under my skin yet at the same time all I can think about is how I want to fuck you until you’re screaming my name.”
“You think I’m gonna fall for that shit from just another guy who’s crazy about JJ?” you sneered.
For the first time, he actually looked just the tiniest bit surprised.
“You think I have feelings for JJ? If I had feelings for her, do you honestly think I’d spend all my time and attention on you?”
“How the hell am I supposed to know?”
“JJ isn’t the one that occupies my brain, no matter what I try to do, Y/N,” he said through gritted teeth.
His face was mere inches away from yours now. Close enough to see an array of scattered freckles on his face. A few under one eye, a tiny one on the side of his nose, one on his forehead.
His stubble had gotten heavier in the last few days, becoming more scruff than stubble. His lips were naturally plump, an asset that would be the envy of any woman. They were also a natural shade of dark pink, maybe even leaning towards red. 
Anger heated his eyes. Or was it desire? You wondered if you looked the same way. Right now, they looked more green in the brighter light in the elevator, but you could still see rings of brown around the edges of his eyes. They were also filled with mischief as if he were up for a challenge.
“You really think you’re going to distract me by putting your tongue in my mouth and getting my panties wet?” you hissed.
“Is that what you want?” 
A smirk formed on his lips. He was definitely challenging you.
Your legs were trembling now. Although if you were to admit it, you weren’t entirely sure if it was from anger or arousal.
You pressed your lips together, refusing to say anything, almost afraid what would come out of your mouth. He had you cornered up against the wall now.
“Maybe I should just find out for myself,” he said, propping his hands on either side of the wall by your head, “Make you moan in my mouth while I finger you.”
The anger that was coursing your veins earlier had definitely now turned into desire. Your stomach churned with it. You could feel his body mere inches from yours and the heat from it was making your entire body temperature feel that much higher.
“It’s not like I haven’t imagined making you moan my name,” he whispered, his voice gravelly, his tongue moving out over his lips in a quick swipe.
Your breathing had become shallow and you were throbbing with need. Before you could think of what you were doing, you were already unbuttoning your jeans.
“For once in your life I wish you’d shut up and just do it,” you grunted.
He grabbed your face roughly with both hands, his lips colliding with yours. They were hot and rough against yours, this kiss so hungry and animalistic that it was unreal.
His body was pressed against yours as he pressed you against the cool, metal wall. You could feel his arousal pressed against your thigh and you unwittingly moaned into his mouth. You had a difficult time wrapping your head around the fact that you’d gotten him so hard.
Then again, you were having a hard time wrapping your mind around anything that didn’t involve him.
His tongue moved with yours, ironically increasing your desire, making you wetter. Just like you’d voiced earlier. Damn, the guy sure knew what he was doing.
He pulled your jeans roughly down your legs until they were enough out of the way that he was satisfied. His lips attacked your jaw, then neck, being anything but gentle, but it was working you up more than anything.
Your hands gripped his arms, your teeth bearing down into your bottom lip, resisting the urge to give in to what he wanted: hearing you moan.
He pulled away from you making you suddenly desperate for his lips on your skin again. He pried your hands away from him and held them against the wall, his hips pressing into yours.
His suit pants were a lot thinner than your jeans, so you could feel his erection pressing into you, dangerously close to your throbbing core where all of a sudden, you wanted him the most.
Spencer’s fingers ghosted over the fabric of your underwear, causing you to inhale sharply. It felt good and you wanted more.
You reached for his hand, trying to push it against your core, but he pulled it away, shaking his head.
“No. This is all you’re getting until you admit it.”
His finger trailed up the center of your panties, having just enough pressure to slightly feel his touch. You groaned at his teasing. If your past years of banter had been foreplay then you were more than ready for him to have you.
“Admit what?”
“That you want this,” Spencer stated simply.
His fingertip swirled lightly over the fabric, just above your clit. Light enough that you didn’t get any real friction from the touch and you bucked your hips, desperate to feel it.
“I think it’s fucking obvious,” you said through clenched teeth.
“Yes, but I want to hear you say it.”
His smirk was wolfish. You knew he wasn’t going to give in unless you did what he said.
“I want this,” you groaned.
“What’s that?” he tipped his head to the side, “Can’t hear you.”
“I want this,” you said, a notch louder, gripping his wrist.
“This?”
His fingers dipped into your underwear and his thumb pressed hard against your clit.
“Ah, fuck yes,” you moaned.
He grinned, his finger dipping into your wet warmth.
“Seems like my tongue in your mouth did indeed make you wet,” he chuckled lowly, pulling your underwear off with his other hand.
His fingers teased you as you writhed and moaned, clawing at the elevator wall behind you. He had this amazing way of rubbing his knuckles against your walls as his fingers pumped in and out of you.
“Holy shit, fuck Spencer,” you whined.
You were so turned on, you hardly had any recognition of what was tumbling out of your mouth. It sure seemed to please Spencer, though.
He kept you on your toes though, slowing his fingers just when you thought you were reaching the brink of your orgasm, twisting them so gradually, it was almost painfully pleasant. You swore your eyes almost rolled back in your head when his fingers curled inward in his direction, catching that sweet spot at just the right angle.
He was kissing you as you moaned appreciatively in his mouth. His hands were quite literally magical.
His fingers finally sped up, his thumb focusing all its attention on your clit. You could feel your release quickly approaching and you were ready to succumb to it. You wanted Spencer Reid to make you cum so hard you’d be begging for more.
He did just that.
Your high hit you as you released on his fingers. Your eyes screwed shut, your head banging against the wall. You actually think you stopped breathing for a short second before air rushed back into your lungs and you released a long moan.
“Oh my god, Spencer,” you groaned, reaching for the waistband of his pants.
He’d given you one hell of an orgasm and here you were, ready to beg for more. Especially if they came while he was buried to the hilt inside you.
“That was hot as hell,” he muttered, kissing you again, “It’s sexy seeing you spend all your energy on an orgasm instead of yelling at me. It’s healthier for your body, too.”
He smirked, his teeth pulling on your lower lip gently before pulling away. His hands were working with yours to push his pants down and his boxers too.
“Are you willing to admit you want me to fuck you against this wall now?” he growled.
“Yes, yes. Fuck yes, please.”
Man, if he wanted you to be his bitch ages ago, he probably should’ve just fucked you. One orgasm at his hands and you had turned into a writhing, begging and moaning heap.
But still, you couldn’t help but wonder if he could make you feel so good with his hands, that it would most likely be ten times as amazing with his dick.
He lifted you up, holding you against the wall. You wrapped your legs around his waist as he pushed into you. You felt yourself stretching in ways you hadn’t felt in a long time and you couldn’t hold it back; a long, low moan of gratification left your lips.You hated to admit it, but he felt fucking fantastic inside of you.
By his own confirming groan, you could tell he felt the same way as you. At the back of your mind you couldn’t help but wonder why this hadn’t happened years ago. 
His hips rocked against yours, slowly at first as his mouth found yours. He was as ravenous for you as you were for him. 
Your fingers dug into his back as his thrusts became faster and harder. He was quite literally fucking you into this metal wall and you were loving every second of it.
Your emitted moans were coming every few seconds with every slap of your skin against his. His own grunts and groans came from deep in his throat, making you even hotter.
“S-Spencer,” you stuttered, pulling his face back to yours.
You have him a brief kiss before smirking up at him.
“I’m the spoiled little brat that’s got you moaning like a little bitch,” you panted.
Your words made him groan as he gripped your sides. He must have excellent control because he managed to get a hold of himself, slowing his hips to where he was tantalizingly pulling out of you and pushing back in.
“Still hate me, Y/N?”
“Right now, yes,” you groaned, trying to pull him deeper within you, wanting the previous speed and depth back.
“Now?”
“Ye- ahhh,” a breathy moan came from you as he resumed his harsher and faster thrusts.
“I don’t hate you,” you groaned, lost in the pleasure he was giving you.
Maybe voiced thoughts during sex were the truth because you actually didn’t hate him. Especially right now.
“Fuck, Y/N, yes baby,” he groaned.
He was close to his peak, you could tell. His fingers were on your clit, circling furiously. He was going to make sure you got your orgasm, before he got his. Who knew he was actually so decent?
Your whimpers, moans and groans were rising in pitch. You halfway hoped no one could hear, but at the same time didn’t care. Let the whole building hear.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck. Spencer, I’m coming, I’m-”
With that, the coil of pleasure that had been building up snapped like a broken rubber band, shooting through your entire body. 
You may have screeched too, you’re not entirely sure. You were completely lost to the bliss of your orgasm and even more so when he came apart not long after you. If you had thought he was attractive before, he was a hundred times more sexy when he was orgasming above you, all caused by you.
Your movements slowed, your chests both heaving. He held onto you carefully, as if he was afraid to set you down just yet. Probably a good idea considering you felt like you’d lost all function in your legs.
You laughed incredulously, unable to believe what had just happened. That had simultaneously been the craziest yet hottest thing you’d ever done.
Spencer’s smirk was replaced with a more shy, happy smile. It was a better look than the scowl he’d worn for you for so long.
It was like the moment that first orgasm hit you, all the anger, all the hatred, all the negative feelings you’d felt towards him drained from your body. You didn’t have the willpower or the desire to hate him anymore. Not that you ever really had.
“I meant what I said,” you said quietly.
“What’s that? You said a lot of things,” he chuckled.
“That I don’t hate you.”
He took a few moments in silence, parting from you and gently setting your feet on the floor again. He took his time getting decent again, as well. You worried at your bottom lip as you did the same, nervous that you’d said the wrong thing.
“So I was right? About the defensive mechanism and everything?”
“Yeah,” you nodded somberly, “I horribly misjudged you; thinking you were stuck up, full of yourself, better than anyone else, the kind of guy that was like all the others and in love with my sister.”
“If anything, I would think what just happened would prove more than anything that my sights are set on you.”
He had a point.
“Why did you hate me though?”
“I was thrown off by your reaction to me. I thought you were a self entitled, spoiled brat and that you thought you were better than me. Seems like we both vastly misjudged one another.”
“It’s kinda a good thing though,” you said.
Spencer looked at you, baffled.
“It is?”
“Well yeah, cause if none of that happened then that wouldn’t have happened either,” you gestured to the place where moments before the two of you had been a tangle of limbs.
“Good point,” he chuckled.
“Uh, Spencer?”
“Hmm?” he looked at you, eyebrows raised.
“You might want to get the elevator moving again.”
“Oh! Right.”
He laughed, hitting the emergency button to restart the elevator.
“I apologize for giving you so much grief though. I’d do anything to make it up to you,” you said.
“How about letting me take you out then? You’re still here for a few more days, aren’t you?” he asked.
You smiled.
“I think I can make all the time in my schedule for you, Spencer.”
His answering smile was enough to make you smile in return.
Oddly enough, the elevator had gone down and back up without stopping, returning to the floor the BAU was on.
“That’s weird,” Spencer mumbled.
The doors parted to JJ waiting to get on.
“Hey, what are you guys still doing here? I thought you left an hour ago.”
Huh, so it’d been an hour. 
She got on the elevator, standing between the two of you.
“Elevator issues,” Spencer answered, before you could think of what to say.
“So you’ve been stuck in the elevator together this entire time?” JJ asked.
“Yup,” you answered.
“I guess it’s a miracle you two didn’t tear each other apart then,” she muttered, hitting the button for the ground floor.
Yeah, there might’ve been some tearing involved.
Behind her back, you and Spencer shared a secret smile.

Note: So I’m currently working on a pretty big update for one of my short collections and was working on this as a pallet cleanser, but it was almost done and I figured I might as well finish it and post it. :) So enjoy this smutty emotional hurt/comfort one shot! :)
Tumblr media
It was rare that Kuai Liang left the Lin Kuei temple for any extended period of time, but occasionally he was willing to venture from his home in Artika if given a compelling enough reason. Being asked to do some training with some new Special Forces recruits was a worthwhile cause, and so along with Hanzo, they had come up with a challenging but fair series of exercises for the students that would teach them a range of skills useful on the battlefield.
And so far he was impressed by what he'd seen. They were a little rough around the edges and definitely new to this, especially when it came to opponents with supernatural powers. Fast learners however, which Kuai always appreciated. They adapted well and seemed to be able to think on their feet nicely. It was rare that he got such a remarkable group of students. Given that Hanzo's face wasn't constantly in a scowl, Kuai assumed he felt the same way.
The students gathered in a row in front of them. Kuai was beaming at them all as he said, "congratulations, you have survived your first training session. You have all done well."
The students quietly cheered for themselves. Kuai chuckled to himself.
"Are there any questions before we dismiss you?" Hanzo asked, face neutral, clearly trying to maintain his scary grandmaster facade.
"Uh, if I may," one girl asked, holding a hand up. "Which one of you is stronger?"
Hanzo and Kuai in unison claimed "me."
They turned and looked at each other, Kuai pursing his lips while Hanzo looked completely scandalised that Kuai would think he was stronger. Kuai could only see one solution to this, otherwise an argument would break out.
"Care for a spar, Grandmaster Hasashi?" Kuai questioned, smirking as Hanzo narrowed his eyes.
"Bring it on, Grandmaster Sub Zero."
They separated, standing opposite each other with a fair gap between them. The students watched, one grabbing the person standing next to them and shaking them in excitement. Kuai turned his attention back to Hanzo, both bowing politely to each other.
One of the students took it upon themselves to start the match, shouting "3, 2, 1, fight!"
Both men charged forwards, Kuai taking little time to summon an ice axe, and once close enough swinging it at Hanzo, who blocked with his arm guards. Seconds later, Kuai found a fist flying towards his face and he just about managed to dodge before it socked him in the jaw. Another fist that Kuai just about blocked, and he tried to get a hit in himself. Hanzo didn't manage to dodge the first hit, but was quick to avoid the next. Hanzo brought his leg up, landing a kick square in Kuai's stomach and sending him stumbling backwards.
As Kuai caught his breath, he heard the familiar call of "Get over here" before a kunai was lodged into his shoulder and he was pulled forward. He felt a fist collide into his face, before being pushed through a flaming portal. He landed seconds later on the floor, back slamming painfully against it. He didn't think and ponder it though, just rocked his body and jumped back to his feet.
"You never learn," Hanzo grumbled, spinning his chain in his hand.
Kuai laughed, "a man's never too old to learn."
He started to charge forward, creating a path of ice for him to slide on. Hanzo didn't have chance to react before Kuai aimed a series of kick punches over Hanzo's abdomen. Finally Kuai brought his leg up, uppercutting Hanzo with his foot, before kicking him in the chest, sending the man falling to the floor. He summoned an ice sword, placing his foot on Hanzo's chest to hold it down while pointing the tip of the sword to his jugular.
"Do you admit defeat Grandmaster Hasashi?" He asked, feeling himself give him a cocky smirk.
"I yield," Hanzo replied.
Kuai cheerfully crushed the sword beneath his hands and removed his foot. As he held his hand out to help Hanzo up, he could hear the students begin to clap. Hanzo took his hand, and Kuai hauled his friend to his feet. Hanzo brushed down his outfit, giving Kuai a strange look.
"Maybe you are right, about not being too old to learn, I swear you never used to be that quick," Hanzo commented, reaching to lightly pat Kuai's back. "Good boy."
Kuai had no idea why, but suddenly the room felt hot. Very hot. Boiling even. Did Hanzo set me on fire? But no, there was no flame. What the hell is wrong with me? Then the words "good boy" echoed through his mind in Hanzo's voice, and he felt something stirring in his stomach. His breathing hitched, suddenly realising the hot feeling was arousal. Kuai had long developed feelings for Hanzo, ones he'd kept very much to himself, and he'd always managed to control himself.
So what the hell was with those two words that got this sort of reaction out of him?
"Uh, Grandmaster Sub Zero, are you okay?" One of the students asked, pulling him back to reality.
"Yes, I am fine, sorry," he assured, despite now noticing how Hanzo was looking him up and down. "I believe that's all for now, unless you have anything to add, Grandmaster Hasashi?"
"No, I have nothing more for today." Hanzo was still looking at him, brows together in concern. Kuai tried to shoot him a reassuring smile before returning his attention to the students.
"You are all dismissed," he stated, giving a small bow as the students bowed back as a sign of respect and slowly leaving. Kuai turned back to Hanzo, the man's eyes hadn't left him. Oh god, does he realise why I'm bright red?
"Are you okay Kuai Liang?" Hanzo asked, one hand reaching Kuai's shoulder while he pressed the back of his hand against Kuai's forehead as if to check his temperature. "You're very red in the face."
"Ah, just a hot flush for some reason." He offered a toothy grin, hoping Hanzo would buy his bullshit. He slowly lifted an ice covered hand to his cheek, it offering relief for his burning face. "I just need to cool down, that's all."
Hanzo nodded as he retracted his hands, "very well. Promise me if it does not get better you will go to the medbay."
"I will," Kuai assured him, offering yet another bow that was returned before he turned on his heel and walked straight to the door.
Once he was through and the automatic doors closed behind him, he threw his hands over his face and groaned extremely loudly, bending forward as he did. He wanted so bad for the earth below him to open up and swallow him whole. He quickly straightened back out, smoothing down his hair and continuing on his way before someone saw him.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not stop thinking about what had just happened.
Tumblr media
Good boy.
God those two words were echoing through his head. Every time the heat had settled, those words came to his mind and he was straight back to square one. It wasn't just the words themselves now that he really analysed the event, it was how Hanzo had said them. So approving. So affectionate. So full of praise.
He entered the break room without much purpose, despite how he stormed in, still far too heated by what had just happened. Sat at a coffee table was Johnny and Kung Jin who both looked over to him as he entered. He wasn't sure this was something he should really talk about in front of Jin, but at the same time good lord he needed to get these thoughts out of his head. And he had talked in length to Johnny about his growing feelings for the Shirai Ryu Grandmaster.
"Hey Ice Cube, everything okay, you look a little red in the face," Johnny commented as Kuai walked towards him. Once he reached where Johnny and Jin were sitting, Kuai lent forward bracing himself against the couch, looking Johnny in the eyes.
"Hanzo called me a good boy, and I feel like I'm about to die!"
Johnny stared at Kuai in silence for a few minutes. He sighed, slapping his knee before standing up "Right, imma go get the wine cause this sounds like it's gonna be a long one."
He stood up and walked over to the fridge. Kuai let himself fall back onto the couch, rubbing his eyes with his hands before looking up to see Kung Jin smiling widely at him.
"So, Hanzo Hasashi, huh?" Kuai wanted to slap the smirk off Jin's face. "Personally, I think you could do better, but hey."
"I don't remember asking for your opinion," Kuai snapped, but not in a mean way. Jin just chuckled.
"Alright, wine's here," Johnny claimed, sitting down on the sofa and placing three wine glasses on the coffee table. "So, what happened exactly?"
"We were training the new students," Kuai started, listening to Johnny hum in conformation as he started pouring out the wine. "And a student asked which of us was stronger, so we sparred and I won, and then Hanzo patted me on the back and called me a good boy, at which point I felt like I was on fire."
"Ah. So you've discovered you have a praise kink," Johnny sagely replied, passing his companions a glass of wine each. Jin spluttered at what Johnny had said.
"What the hell is a praise kink?" Kuai questioned, accepting the wine and taking a sip.
"It's when receiving praise gives you sexual pleasure," Johnny explained, reaching over to lightly slap Jin to stop his giggling.
"Who would get sexual pleasure from receiving praise?" Kuai shook his head and took a large swig of the wine.
"You, apparently," Jin added, and Kuai spat his wine back out into his glass. He shot a glare so hateful that if looks could kill Jin would have been dead where he sat.
He opened his mouth to argue, until a traitorous part of his mind began to point out that Jin was right. Had that not been what Kuai realised the heat was? Arousal? For some reason Hanzo calling him a good boy had just really turned him on. Is that what this is then? A praise kink? The thought was weird, he believed he'd figured everything he liked in terms of sex years ago. Surely he was far too old to be discovering new kinks?
He whined, "that's really what this is, isn't it?" He pushed the palm of his hand against his forehead, feeling his face heat up yet again. "I'm having a midlife crisis where I crush on my friend and gain new kinks."
"'Fraid so man," Johnny chuckled, reaching over to pat Kuai's knee. "Maybe this is your sign to tell him how you feel."
"Yeah, go get yourself a top Grandmaster," Jin encouraged, and Kuai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You," he started while pointing at Jin, "shut up." Jin began cackling again. Kuai pointed to Johnny, "and you. We've established why I'm not telling Hanzo anything."
"I don't know why," Jin stated, and Kuai gave a frustrated sigh.
"Because Hanzo's still grieving, and I don't want to ruin the friendship we've built just because I'm an idiot who-" he was interrupted by Johnny slapping his arm hard. "Ow!"
"No! None of that," Johnny chastised, "you are not an idiot, certainly not because you have emotions."
"But-" Johnny slapped him again, "ow, would you stop doing that!"
"Not until you stop putting yourself down," Johnny warned. Kuai opened his mouth but before he could speak he was smacked again. "No!"
"Okay, okay!" Kuai held his hands up in surrender, "but the point still stands. I risk making everything between us extremely awkward. It's the best for both of us if I don't say anything."
Johnny sighed, "somehow, I doubt that very much."
Kuai didn't reply, just stared into his wine glass silently. It was for the best that Kuai hold his feelings to his chest. He highly doubted Hanzo would ever feel the same way about him. He was nothing really special, not really anything particularly desirable.
How could anyone ever feel that way about about him?
Tumblr media
Somehow, the idea he had discovered a new kink was not making it easy to sleep.
Not that he usually slept well anyway. Between insomnia, nightmares, night terrors and sleep paralysis it was very difficult to get a full 8 hours, often running on empty. That said, insomnia because his mind was working too much and overthinking was preferable to the other three possibilities, so he supposed he could live with this. He could always have some coffee in the morning, no matter how much he hated the stuff.
So, the first thing I need to figure out, why have I only just discovered this is a thing I'm into?
Now that he thought about it, he supposed the answer to that was fairly simple. Most of his previous sexual encounters had been rough and fast, nothing about them led to praise. How he hadn't figured it out from a nonsexual sense was also pretty easy to put together. He just rarely received praise. He had been seen as a troublemaker in the Lin Kuei, he was never given praise or compliments, just constant criticism. Even as he grew older, outside of a few "good jobs" he couldn't remember the last time someone sincerely gave him any sort of recognition that wasn't related to work.
He was also sure there was a psychologist out there who would have a field day with that information.
Okay, so, the next question. Is this something mostly exclusive to Hanzo, or would it work with anyone?
His immediate thought was Johnny, but that idea just made him laugh rather than feel horny. His mind started to wander to Tomas, but that thought just hurt far too much to even entertain. Sektor was a bastard would never give him a compliment so the utter unrealistic nature of the fantasy meant he felt nothing from it. He wasn't sure he felt too comfortable thinking of anyone else in this context. So, that question remained unanswered for now.
Is this all coming out because I've been bottling up my feelings for so long?
There was no doubt, the answer was yes. He had felt like this for Hanzo since the early days of their truce. It had been slow at first, Kuai noticing little things in Hanzo that he found attractive. The first time he'd managed to coax a smile out of the other man had left Kuai swooning. Then there was his personality. Strict to most, but gentle when he needed to be. When he stayed at the Shirai Ryu temple for the first time, he had one of the worst night terrors he'd ever experienced. But Hanzo had been there, holding him close and telling him he was okay and safe until Kuai was calm. He had no obligation to do that, even if they both knew Kuai often did the same for Hanzo.
Kuai wondered what it'd be like to kiss him sometimes. How it'd feel to have Hanzo's hot body close to his own. How it would feel to have Hanzo leaning over him with a hand around his throat. How it'd feel to have Hanzo inside him.
He felt his cock stir.
No. Not doing that. He'd promised himself that he'd not touch himself to such fantasies about his friend and it was one he was going to keep. No matter how sexually frustrated it left him. He took a few breaths, pushing the thoughts out of his mind by reminding himself why he couldn't do this.
One night when Hanzo had stayed at the Lin Kuei temple, he'd had a nightmare about the deaths of Harumi and Satoshi. Kuai had been there for him, the reverse of the previous situation. Hanzo had talked about how deeply the death still effected him. He'd confided in detail about how even after all these years and vengeance finally found he was still grieving. He would always love Harumi.
And that was why Kuai couldn't just spit out the truth.
It would be reckless and stupid, likely to cause far more harm than good. He would not be selfish and demand Hanzo's love in return, no matter how much it hurt him.
Besides, he could never love me back. I am not worthy of such things.
He had known for a long time, he was not really someone people ever fell in love with. He couldn't blame anyone, not really. No matter how many times Johnny tried to tell him that the voices in his head were lying, they were very convincing.
I am awful, a monster, I can never be loved. He felt tears roll down his cheeks. I don't deserve anyone, let alone someone like Hanzo.
He closed his eyes, and let himself weep.
Tumblr media
Kuai shuffled through the cupboards, looking to see what the strongest coffee they had was. He was exhausted, unable to sleep after his epiphany last night. Does the realisation of a kink really constitute an epiphany? He wasn't sure but it felt like one. Still, it was something he wasn't going to act on, especially not with Hanzo.
"Good morning." Kuai almost jumped at Hanzo's sudden voice. It's like he knew I was thinking about him.
"Morning, Hanzo," he greeted instead, finally deciding which coffee he wanted and pulling it from the cabinet. Instant coffee, so he wouldn't have to try and figure out how to work the coffee machine on no sleep.
Hanzo watched him spoon the coffee into the mug, and eyebrow raised, "don't you hate coffee?"
"I do," he replied, putting the cup under the hot water dispenser and began to fill it up. "But I didn't sleep and I need the caffeine."
"Why didn't you sleep?" Hanzo asked and Kuai had hoped so badly that he wouldn't. Still he put the mug back on the counter and reached for the sugar.
"Nightmares, that's all," he tried to dismiss, as he dumped a teaspoon of sugar into his coffee.
"Just nightmares?" Hanzo watched Kuai scooping another spoonful of sugar. "It wasn't night terrors or sleep paralysis again?"
"No, no just normal nightmares." He continued to put another two spoons of sugar into the drink.
"They don't usually keep you awake all night," Hanzo commented. Kuai almost cursed that the other man was so aware of the troubles Kuai had with sleeping. It made it so much harder to use it as an excuse. "What was it about?"
"Hm, nothing in particular," Kuai attempted to play it down. He was up to 7 spoonfuls of sugar now and this was apparently the point Hanzo felt inclined to intervene by reaching to grab his wrist.
"Sometimes I wonder how you still have teeth." Kuai huffed at the comment, pulling his arm free and finally putting the sugar inside, instead going to the fridge to retrieve the milk. "Why are you reluctant to tell me about this nightmare?"
"I'm not," Kuai tried to argue, before pouring so much milk into his coffee it went from brown to practically white. "It's just not particularly interesting."
There was a long stretch of silence as Kuai returned the milk back to it's proper place. He finally took a sip of the coffee, and despite the sugar and milk, he still gagged at what little coffee he could actually taste. Hanzo looked vaguely amused for a second, before his face returned to it's normal more serious nature.
"It was about me, wasn't it?"
The question made Kuai pause with the mug inches away from his lips. "Pardon?"
"Your nightmare was about me," Hanzo reiterated. Kuai just looked at him apprehensively, because yes Hanzo was the reason he hadn't slept, but it wasn't a nightmare in the strictest sense. "That's why you are reluctant to talk to me about it."
"I-" Kuai knew his hesitation was confirmation that Hanzo was at least partially right. "It's... complicated, okay?"
"But-"
"Hanzo, I don't want to talk about it," he snapped. He felt bad when he saw the look of hurt on Hanzo's face. "Sorry. I just... Please can we drop it?"
Hanzo stared at him before he muttered "very well."
Kuai could feel the awkwardness between them. He winced slightly, he hated not telling Hanzo the truth. For most of their friendship Kuai had been open with everything he felt and went through. Clearly Hanzo had begun to expect that Kuai would trust him with anything. And it hurt to realise that maybe there were still secrets between them.
"I have to go get ready for my training session," Kuai finally announced, making a break for the door before Hanzo could stop him. He didn't look back.
Tumblr media
He was aware how much of a coward he was being.
He had spent the whole day going out of his way to avoid Hanzo. He just couldn't bare to look at him right now. Hanzo must have noticed, there was no way he didn't when Kuai immediately made a beeline for the exit whenever Hanzo showed up.
He'd just finished todays training session, trying to quickly return to his quarters before anyone caught him. He was making good progress, until another door opened and he walking into someone. He stumbled, about to apologies for not paying attention until he realised who it was.
"Hanzo," Kuai choked, biting the inside of his cheek. Because of course out of everyone it could have possibly been, it was Hanzo.
"Kuai, I know you've been avoiding me." Hanzo crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Please can you just talk to me?"
"I don't want-"
"Don't do that," Hanzo warned, interrupting Kuai. Kuai's eye twitched. "Clearly this nightmare has effected you deeply, and it worries me that you're trying to deal with it alone."
Kuai groaned and rubbed his temples, "it's nothing."
"It clearly isn't," Hanzo argued. "Did I hurt you? Is there something I did that triggered this? Because you know if I did, I didn't intend to, I just want to help you and make amends, and I can't if you keep pushing me away."
"Hanzo, please-"
"Why won't you just tell me whats wrong?" Hanzo demanded, and Kuai finally felt something in his mind snap.
"You want to know whats wrong?" Kuai yelled, throwing his hands down. "It wasn't a nightmare! Okay?" He was waving his arms with every word he spoke, "I couldn't sleep because yesterday you called me a good boy and ever since I haven't been able to stop thinking about you calling me that while fucking me in the ass!"
The silence absolutely deafened him. He gasped, realising what he'd just said. His hand clamped over his mouth, heat blossoming in his cheeks and his eyes stinging. His vision blurred, he couldn't even see Hanzo anymore to see how he was reacting. His heart hurt.
"Kuai Liang," Hanzo whispered. Through his tears, Kuai could see him reach forward, but Kuai quickly pulled away before he could touch him. Please, don't fucking touch me.
Kuai turned and walked away, completely blocking out the sound of Hanzo calling his name and begging him to come back.
He returned to his quarters, threw himself onto the bed and used the pillow to muffle his screams of anguish.
Tumblr media
Of course, tonight would be one of those nights.
And out of all the things it could possibly be, it had to be sleep paralysis.
He opened his eyes, unsure what had woken him up. He tried to push himself to sit up, but he found his arms just refused to work. Neither was any other part of his body. He breathed deep, trying to keep himself calm, knowing this feeling would pass. That was until he saw two glowing eyes come into his vision.
Sektor stood over him, clearly contemplating what he was about to do. Kuai could only watch in trepidation, as Sektor started to make a move towards him, his hand morphing into a circular saw that Kuai knew all too well what he intended to do with. Cut into his head, through his flesh and bone, until he'd managed to pull Kuai's brain from his body. Behind Sektor, he realised he could now see the shell of an empty cyber body, no doubt the one he would be inhabiting.
He screwed his eyes shut, his mind a mantra of it's not real, this isn't real, he can't really hurt you. It wasn't real, not right then, even if it had been once. He kept this eyes closed, trying to will his limbs into moving.
Slowly, he felt his fingers start to flex, and he gave a relieved sob. Slowly, his movement returned, but kept his eyes closed until he could move freely enough to sit himself up. He finally peered around his dark room. Neither Sektor nor the cyber body were there. He rocked back and forth, grasping his hair in one hand as he felt tears drip down his cheeks.
He stayed like that for some time until he managed to calm down enough to be able to stand. Grabbing his night robe, he pulled it around himself, and went to leave the room. He wouldn't be able to attempt sleep again for a while, if he tried too soon he would just find himself suffering paralysis again.
Instead he made his way to the break room, gathering a glass and pouring himself a drink of milk. His hands shook the entire time, and he was amazed he didn't spill anything. He sat at the breakfast bar, taking a sip of milk and trying to think of anything to distract his mind from what just happened.
In the distance, he could hear footsteps, and he recognised them as Hanzo's. For a ninja, he was very heavy footed, it made it easy to identify him. The footsteps approached the break room, and Kuai heard them pause in the doorway.
"Kuai Liang?" Hanzo softly questioned, and even without looking at him, Kuai knew the look he was being given. That particular look Hanzo gave when he was worried about something.
"Why are you up?" Kuai asked, not taking his eyes off the glass of milk.
"Sonya requested I do a late night training simulation." He could hear Hanzo's foot steps get close. "What happened?"
"Sleep paralysis," Kuai admitted, voice cracking ever so slightly. "Cyber initiative."
Hanzo sat down next to him, "do you want to talk about it?"
"There's not much to talk about that I haven't a thousand times already," Kuai replied with a sob. "I just need to stay awake for a while. Distract myself."
Hanzo nodded silently. "I know it is likely not the distraction, you want, but..." Hanzo took a deep breath, Kuai knew exactly what was going to happen next. "We need to talk about earlier."
"Do we need to?" Kuai placed his head in his hands. "Can't we just agree to never talk about this again?"
"No, we need to talk," Hanzo insisted. "How long have you been feeling this way?"
"Do you mean about the praise kink or just in general?" Kuai asked, although he didn't give Hanzo chance to reply before he said, "because the praise kink is definitely a new thing, but my feelings for you..." Kuai paused to lick his lips. "That's been growing for a while."
"Okay," Hanzo said, linking his fingers and staring at his hands in front of him. "Have you kept this completely to yourself or have there been clues I have missed."
Kuai was silent, trying to think if he'd ever really done anything to make his attraction known. There was only one incident he could think of. "That time I was drunk and decided to sit in your lap is the boldest I've been about it."
Hanzo nodded, still staring at his hands, "and, why haven't you acted on these feelings?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Kuai asked with an eyebrow raised. Hanzo finally looked at him, face flat. Clearly the answer wasn't obvious. "Because I know you are still grieving. You are my dearest friend and it would be selfish of me to ask more than that from you."
"You know what your problem is?" Hanzo started, and Kuai felt himself shrink a little. "You put everyone else above you. Everyone's happiness is your priority except your own." Kuai looked away, feeling weirdly ashamed of himself. "It is not selfish to want intimacy. It is not selfish to want happiness." Kuai felt Hanzo's hand grasp his shoulder but Kuai still couldn't bring himself to look up. "Why are you denying yourself these things?"
"Because I don't deserve them," Kuai admitted before he'd managed to think about it and stop himself. He closed his eyes a grit his teeth as he heard Hanzo take a very sharp breath. "It's true, though. I'm just a tired hurt old man, why would I ever be worthy of love?"
"Kuai Liang," Hanzo barked causing Kuai to jump and actually look at Hanzo. His face was tight, looking positively furious. Kuai couldn't help but gulp, he hadn't been the recipient of Hanzo's anger in so long, he'd forgotten how intimidating he was. "You are the strongest, kindest, most forgiving and beautiful man I know, and I will not let you sit here and say such awful untrue things about yourself!"
Hanzo's hands suddenly grabbed Kuai's cheeks, fingers digging in so hard Kuai felt like his skull was going to cave it. "You deserve happiness more than anyone else I know." It was cruel, that despite Hanzo's passion on the subject, Kuai's brain was insisting it was all a lie. "I know that look, I know you don't believe me but..."
Hanzo removed his hands from the sides of Kuai's head and took his hand.
"Come," he ordered, pulling on Kuai's hand. He wasn't sure where Hanzo was taking him, but he was still willing to follow him through the corridors of the base.
Eventually Kuai found himself being guided through the door to Hanzo's quarters. Kuai hesitated.
"Hanzo, I can't sleep yet, if I do I'll just get paralysis again," he tried to inform, despite doing nothing to stop Hanzo. The door hissed shut behind them.
"We aren't here to sleep," Hanzo announced.
Kuai tilted his head, "then why-"
Kuai was completely interrupted by Hanzo pulling him close and claiming his lips in a bruising kiss. Kuai blinked, and he wanted so badly to melt into the kiss, but his mind was screaming at him not to. Hanzo finally pulled away, frowning as he did.
"Are you okay?" Hanzo asked.
"I-" Kuai blinked, mind not working the way he wanted it to. "Hanzo, I- I don't understand."
"I want to show you how much you deserve this," Hanzo stated, gently kissing the edge of Kuai's mouth. "If you will let me."
Kuai swallowed, it had been so long since anyone had been intimate him like this. And there was that voice again, telling him he wasn't enough, that all of this was some sort of act of pity.
"Kuai Liang?" Hanzo gently prompted. "If you don't want this, we don't have to do anything."
"I- I want to," Kuai stated, placing his hands on Hanzo's chest. "But I worry if this is something you want."
Hanzo closed his eyes and muttered under his breath in Japanese. He reopened his eyes and said "if I did not want this, I would not have suggested it." Hanzo placed his hand under Kuai's chin and thumb against his lips. "Now, stop trying to make excuses, and think about yourself for once." Hanzo lent in, mouth against Kuai's ear as he whispered. "And seeing as that's an order, you want to be a good boy for me, right?"
Oh. He felt his face getting hot again. "That's not fair."
Hanzo chuckled and kissed Kuai's cheek, "then, tell me, what can I do to make it fair?"
Kuai considered the question. He trailed fingers along Hanzo's clothed chest. He wanted to touch Hanzo's skin. "Clothes off," Kuai quietly demanded, not wanting to come across as too forceful.
"Very well," Hanzo murmured, lightly nipping Kuai's earlobe before pulling back.
Kuai was unable to look away as Hanzo started to pull his armour off piece by piece. Soon he was shirtless and Kuai could truly admire the way his muscles flexed as he moved. Kuai's mouth went dry as he watched Hanzo hook his thumbs into his trousers and underwear and begin to pull them down. Hanzo's cock bobbed free from it's constraints, already half hard and Kuai felt like his head was spinning. He'd always stopped his fantasies short of Hanzo actually being naked, and yet here he was without a stitch of clothing right in front of him.
Hanzo gave a sly smile, "I take it you like what you see?"
"Very much so," Kuai said, his eyes slowly looking over Hanzo's body. "You're very handsome."
Hanzo chuckled in response. While Kuai felt self conscious in comparison, he reached for the edges of his robe and slowly pulled it away. He could feel Hanzo's gaze burrow into him as he watched with interest. He slowly removed his own pants, his own half hard cock now out for display. As Hanzo stood and eyeballed him, Kuai suddenly felt aware of every scar and imperfection he had on his body.
Yet Hanzo looked at him with nothing but adoration.
"You're beautiful," Hanzo assured him, as if realising how shy Kuai felt in that moment. "Tell me, what is you want now?"
"I want to-" he stopped himself, somehow saying what he wanted out loud felt dirty. He calmed himself. "I want to have sex. With you." He added the last bit, although when it came from his mouth, he realised how that seemed to be a given in this situation.
Hanzo didn't comment on that bit, just walked over and took Kuai's hand. "Good," he beamed, pulling Kuai close to kiss again. "Hm, would you prefer to-"
"Bottom," he interjected, already knowing where the question was going. Hanzo looked a little taken aback, and suddenly all that insecurity came back. "I mean, if that's okay with you?"
"Of course," Hanzo assured him, hand landing on Kuai's hip. "I was just surprised how quickly you answered."
"I know what I like," Kuai replied with a shrug. He'd spent time in his youth experimenting, and had come to the conclusion he found it a lot more pleasurable being the bottom. For him, nothing felt better than being stretched and filled just right.
"Good, that's good." Hanzo softly kissed the top of his head, before slowly leading him towards the bed. "If you want something, I want you to say so, okay?"
"Yes," Kuai agreed, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching as Hanzo reached for a drawer.
"Good boy," Hanzo complimented and Kuai felt his body going hot again. He was still blown away by how much of an effect two simple words had on him, the way the heat settled in his stomach and he felt his cock growing harder.
Hanzo pulled out a bottle of lube from the drawer, and Kuai shuffled back to lay on the bed, spreading his legs in anticipation. He briefly considered why Hanzo just happened to have a bottle of lube lying around, and now Kuai looked at the bottle he realised it looked suspiciously like medical lubricant. Did he steal that from the medbay? He didn't get chance to ask as Hanzo was soon knelt between his legs and applying the lube to his fingers.
"Ready?" Hanzo asked, and Kuai gave an affirmative nod. He felt a single finger trace around the rim, before slowly pushing in. Kuai hissed slightly, it had been a few years since he'd last been intimate with anyone, he'd started to forget what it felt like. Hanzo stopped, studying Kuai's face before asking, "are you okay?"
"Yes, forgive me it has been a while," Kuai admitted. "I just need to get used to the feeling. Take it slowly, please."
"I will." Hanzo kissed Kuai's inner thigh, before slowly pushing more of his finger inside. Kuai spread his legs just a little wider, as Hanzo began to push in and out. As he got used to it, he could feel himself relaxing, toes curling and clutching the bedsheets between them.
Hanzo lent forward and kissed Kuai's belly, Kuai arching his back up into the action.
"Another finger, please," Kuai softly begged, feeling ready to go forward. More words of praise tumbled from Hanzo's lips as he added a second finger inside Kuai. Kuai trembled at the feeling, gods, how had he forgotten how good this felt.
Two fingers became three, and three became four. Kuai loose and slick enough for Hanzo to scissor him open with little effort. As good as it felt, being filled after so long, there was something else he wanted inside him.
"Hanzo, I'm ready, I need you," Kuai groaned, voice husky and full of longing. Hanzo acknowledged him with a hum, his fingers slipping free. He reached for the lube again, slicking himself up. "Wait," Kuai sat up slightly, propping himself on his forearms. He felt a small nagging doubt, but tried to reassure himself with what Hanzo had said about voicing his desire. He took a deep breath, "I want to ride you."
Hanzo broke into a lopsided smile, clearly pleased by Kuai's assertion. "Yes, that's it," Hanzo coaxed, reaching to pull Kuai up, and shifting the two of them so that Hanzo was where Kuai had once been, and Kuai was now straddling his waist. "You're being so good for me, telling me what you want."
The praise made Kuai shudder, lifting his hips just a little and hands braced on Hanzo's chest. With one hand, Hanzo held his cock against Kuai's hole, while the other reached around to grope Kuai's ass. Kuai groaned, slowly lowering himself down onto Hanzo. His body easily accepted the entrance, even as Hanzo's cock pressed deeper than his fingers did. Soon he'd bottomed out, the hand Hanzo had used to guide his cock now reaching to grip Kuai's hip.
"How are you feeling?" Hanzo questioned softly, squeezing Kuai's hip gently.
"I'm good," Kuai returned, "I just need a minute." Feeling so full for in the first time in years was both wonderful and overwhelming. While he wanted to start moving, he just wanted a moment to marvel on how amazing this felt.
"Take as long as you need." Hanzo's other hand settled on Kuai's hip too, and he slowly started to rub circles with his thumb.
Kuai closed his eyes and bit his lip. He chanced lifting himself slightly, before settling back down, testing the angle. It wasn't quite right. He pushed himself up straight, lifting with his knees and doing the same action. A small jolt of pleasure ran up his spine, and he knew he'd got it right.
He made eye contact with Hanzo as he stated, "I'm ready."
Hanzo hummed, his fingers digging into Kuai's hips and he helped lift Kuai until only the tip of his cock was left inside. As Kuai descended, Hanzo thrust up meeting him half way. Kuai gasped, the action almost knocking the air from his lungs. It took a bit of trial and error, but they started to gain a rhythm. As Kuai ascended, Hanzo would pull back, and as Kuai slipped down, Hanzo pushed up into him. Their bodies connected, Hanzo's pelvis hitting Kuai's backside hard enough for there to be an audible slap.
Hanzo groaned, grip on Kuai's hips tightening. Any worry Kuai had about this was long gone. Hanzo's brow was covered in sweat but he looked so enthralled by watching Kuai bounce on his cock. Somehow, knowing Hanzo was enjoying this so much made it all the sweeter. Every so often, more words of encouragement spilled from Hanzo's mouth like a gospel.
Kuai could feel himself slowly creeping closer to completion. Every time Hanzo's cock hit that spot inside him, he felt precum dribble from his own cock, hard and so far untouched. That would have to change.
"H-Hanzo," he panted, not realising until that moment how breathless this all was leaving him. "P-Please, touch me."
"Of course," Hanzo grunted during a particularly hard thrust. He removed a hand from Kuai's hips, reaching to grasp his cock instead. He gave a stroke, and Kuai instinctively bucked his hips. "That's it, that's good, so good for me."
"Yes," Kuai agreed, eyes briefly rolling back in pleasure. "Yes, so good."
Hanzo's hand caressed his cock slowly, thumb rubbing circles into the tip and causing Kuai to whine. Pent up sexual frustration combined with the duel pleasure of Hanzo's cock and hand was very quickly bringing him to a climax. He could feel himself trembling with every thrust.
"I'm close," he warned, not wanting to do so unannounced.
"Then cum for me, Kuai Liang," Hanzo ordered.
Kuai reached his limit, throwing his head back, a satisfied squeal coming from his lips as he felt himself release. Kuai clenched around Hanzo, causing the other man to give a loud growl and one final hard thrust up as deep as he could get before he too came. Kuai sat settled on Hanzo's hips, cock still thrusting slightly following the after shocks while the hand milked Kuai of all he was worth.
They stayed like that for a moment. Kuai could feel Hanzo starting to soften inside of him, finally leading him to pull out. Kuai didn't move, mind too full of a glorious haze. Why had he denied himself this for so long? Hanzo sat up, hands cupping Kuai's cheeks again.
"You did so well," Hanzo complimented, Kuai's breathing hitched. "I'm so proud of you."
Those words hit him straight in the chest. So full of devotion and affection. He felt overwhelmed, eyes stinging as he began to quake. He let out a loud sob, falling forward and burying his face into Hanzo's neck while his arms wrapped around. He clung to Hanzo as if he would fall if he didn't. He couldn't stop the tears, he just wailed, tasting salt on his lips and tongue. Hanzo's arms embraced him, holding him close as he whispered assurances into Kuai's ear.
For the first time in years, he felt loved.
Tumblr media
Kuai slept the best he had in years.
Even so, when he felt light filtering through the curtain, his eyes slowly fluttered open. He was still in Hanzo's room, the taller man laying next to him, arms holding Kuai's back to his chest. It was comfortable, Hanzo was warm in a way Kuai was so unused to feeling.
Kuai's eyes flicked to the alarm clock on the side, seeing the time was 6:50 in the morning. "Shit," he muttered, remembering he had a training session to teach at 8.
Hanzo stirred next to him, groggily asking, "what time is it?"
"Ten to seven," Kuai replied. Hanzo groaned loudly in return.
"Too early then," he mumbled, burying his face into Kuai's neck.
"Maybe for you," Kuai quietly chuckled, "I have to teach in an hour."
Hanzo gave an overdramatic whine, tightening his grip ever so slightly, "no. You're mine, they can't have you."
Kuai snorted, "I don't think Sonya will see it that way."
Hanzo made another disapproving noise, but finally released Kuai. Both men, unpeeled the covers, and sat up. Kuai winced slightly, feeling a small amount of pain from his backside. Hanzo clearly noticed, looking at him with concern.
"I'm fine," Kuai assured him, "just a little sore, that's all." This seemed to satisfy Hanzo, who nodded and reached to brush Kuai's hair from his face. "Thank you for last night, Hanzo," Kuai sincerely whispered, "I had not realised how much I needed it."
"I know you have trouble seeing your own worth," Hanzo started, stroking Kuai's hair as he spoke, "but you deserve so much more than you allow yourself to have." He lent in, kissing Kuai's forehead. "I will show you how much you mean to the world, even if it takes the rest of my life to make you believe it."
Kuai paused at that, the sudden realisation that last night may not be a one time thing was somewhat startling but... felt wonderful. His previous relationships could hardly be considered serious, simple friends with benefits situations. No real emotion involved.
"So, what does this make us?" Kuai asked, almost afraid that Hanzo would insist they stay friends with the added benefit of sex. He wasn't sure his heart could take a relationship like that with Hanzo.
"What would you like it to make us?" Hanzo questioned in return, pulling back to look Kuai in the eye.
"I-" Kuai stared into Hanzo's eyes. Every emotion he'd seen the night before was still reflected in those dark brown iris. He choked slightly before finally saying "I'd like us to be boyfriends."
The second that word came from Kuai's mouth, Hanzo began to smile. Kuai felt his heart beat so hard it almost broke through his chest.
"I would like us to be boyfriends too."
Kuai let out a laugh of disbelief. Boyfriends. He had a boyfriend. Hanzo was his boyfriend.
"What about-" Kuai paused again, maybe bringing up Hanzo's dead wife right now was not a good idea. But Hanzo's smile did not falter.
"There will always be love for Harumi within my heart," Hanzo remarked, "but I have also come to realise she would not want me to wallow in solitude if there was a chance for me to find happiness with someone else." Hanzo stroked his hand through Kuai's hair, before trailing it along his jaw until it loosely held his chin up. "And I believe I would be very happy with you."
A warm feeling filled Kuai's chest. So gleeful that not even the voices in his head dared to try and spoil it for him. He lent forward, giving Hanzo a quick kiss. For once, everything felt good with his life.
The alarm clock beeped, alerting them that it was now 7AM, meaning Kuai had exactly an hour to get ready for his lesson. Kuai pouted, disappointed he didn't have more time to spend with Hanzo. Hanzo have a small chuckle, before kissing him on the cheek.
"You should go get ready," he said, pulling back and settling down into his bed again, "I will be here when you are done."
That assurance was what Kuai needed. He slipped out of the bed, grabbing his discarded pants and pulling them on. He grabbed his robe, not bothering to put it on and rather slinging it over his shoulder as he approached the door. He looked over his shoulder, Hanzo cocooned in his duvet.
"I'll see you later," Kuai agreed. He wondered for a second if Hanzo had fallened back to sleep already, but the smile on the mans face gave him away. Kuai giggled, before turning to the door and walking out. He stepped into the corridor, closing the door behind him.
"Morning, Grandmaster!"
The sudden voice made Kuai jump a mile. Turning to where it came from, he found Kung Jin to the one side of him. The grin of sheer unadulterated joy on Jin's face told Kuai the young man knew exactly what was going on.
"Good morning, Kung Jin," he greeted instead. Jin's smile didn't falter, but he did approach Kuai. "I don't know what this looks like but-"
"Well, to me it looks like you are doing the walk of shame after spending the night with Grandmaster Hasashi," Jin guessed, as they started walking together.
Kuai laughed under his breath. "Well, you would be wrong about that," He corrected. "This isn't the walk of shame, it's the walk of satisfaction."
Jin looked absolutely giddy from that statement, "So, you and Grandmaster Hasashi?" Kuai gave a very affirmative hum. Jin made a sound that was a mix of a cheer and a laugh, "holy shit!" Jin lightly punched Kuai on the arm. "See, Mr Cage was right!"
"I know, I know," Kuai agreed, thinking about what Johnny's reaction to the news would be. "He is never going to let me live this down."
"As he shouldn't," Jin sang. Kuai rolled his eyes a little. Still, Jin let his excitement settle just a moment to give Kuai a look of admiration. "But seriously, I'm happy for you. Love is a good look for you."
"Wow," Kuai deadpanned, "that sounded like a compliment."
"I'm legally obligated to give exactly one a day, today's belongs to you," Jin joked, causing Kuai to laugh.
"Well, thank you," Kuai said in all sincerity, rubbing the back of his neck. "It means a lot to me."
"Sure thing," Jin beamed. He clasped his hands in front of his as he began to beg, "Please, please can I be there when you tell Mr. Cage? Pretty please?"
Kuai sighed, closed his eyes, and trying to hide his smile behind his hand. He nodding in confirmation, causing Jin to give a triumphant shout of "yes".
He had no doubt Johnny would have a lot to say on the matter.

HR Violation | Professor Hiddleston x Reader
Tumblr media
Pairing:  Professor Tom Hiddleston x Reader
Summary:  You are a graduate student and PhD candidate. You never thought a guest professor would have an effect on you. That was until you met Thomas William Hiddleston.
Warnings:  Professor Tom Hiddleston, graduate student reader, Smut, Semi-Public Sex, Couch Sex, Sex, smutty dreams
-
“He’s a total babe.”
“One hundred percent I would let him nail me.”
“Yes, please Daddy!”
You cleared your throat, and the undergrads jumped when they saw you.
“What or who, more accurately, are you young ladies talking about?” You stared them down.
“No one!” The two literature majors responded. Your reputation as a no nonsense professor made the rounds through the undergrads quick this year.
“The new guest professor, Mr. Hiddleston!” The third girl piped up. Her friends elbowed her. “Ow!”
You covered your mouth to hide the chuckle bubbling up.
“I haven’t had the pleasure. But I would suggest the two of you focus on your essays on Austen and not on the more scandalous ways to get expelled.” You raised an eyebrow and walked away as they both made their mea culpas.
Every year was the same. Some new male professor joins the faculty sending all the young female co-eds in a tizzy. And many a male student as well. But just as soon as the embers of a torrid professor- student love affair spark, they are quickly doused by a healthy dose of reality.
You arrived at your office and dumped your bag on the desk and slumped in the chair. You spied several boxes piled up on the second desk in the room.
“Oh, fuck…” you groaned. You hoped you wouldn’t end up with an office mate this semester. Howard from the Modern Lit Department just about did you in last year. He always seemed to smell of fish and potatoes for some unknown reason.
Your door flung open, and your best friend, Caitlyn, burst in.
“Drop whatever you are doing and come with me to Alden Hall!” she screeched, grabbing your wrist.
You snatched your hand back. “Why on earth would I do that?” You glared at Cait as though she had grown a second head.
“Two words. British accent.” She counted off on her fingers as she spoke. “So come!”
Cait got you out the door and jogging down the hallway towards Alden Hall. You rolled your eyes at Cait’s excitement. No single man was worth this amount of fuss.
As the door opened, you overheard a deep baritone voice extolling the virtues of Tolstoy. The two of you slipped into the back and you glanced at the front to see the source of this rich velvety voice.
“Oh fuck.” you muttered a touch too loud and the undergrads in the back row turn and giggle.
“I told you it was worth it.” Cait leaned over to whisper in your ear, but you only half listened. Because you were fixated by the specimen of a man at the front.
He was a tall and lean man. He wore his reddish blond hair long and pushed up his glasses with his middle finger. As he moved, his tweed jacket hugged the curves of his ass.
“Damn that man.” Cait hissed as she squeezed your arm.
“Who the hell is this?”
“Thomas William Hiddleston, adjunct professor for the Literature Department.”
You swallowed hard. You now saw what the fuss was about earlier today. You glanced back to the front of the room and spied a pair of piercing blue eyes staring directly at you. You tugged at Cait’s sleeve to slip back out and return to the office. You didn’t notice the hint of a smile flit across Tom’s face.
-
It took twenty minutes to get Caitlyn out of your office and then another five to focus back onto the reason you came back in the first place. Your dissertation. You needed to get a rough draft to your advisor within the month. But soon your head fell to the desk, and you dozed off.
The door opened and shut. You turned your head at the sound of the lock to your office clicking.
“Please don’t lock…” your voice trailed off as you see Professor Hiddleston standing there
“I can go if you want?” He hooked his thumb towards the door.
“No!” you exclaimed with too much force. You clear your throat to compose yourself. “I mean, that’s not necessary. What brings you here?”
Tom’s chest rumbled with a chuckle. “I saw you at the back of my lecture today.” He strutted towards you. You found her heart pounding in your chest.
“My friend dragged me along.” you shrugged it off in an effort to deflect from the growing arousal within in your core.
“Possibly. But your friend certainly didn’t force you to undress me with your eyes.” He picked up a pen from your desk, flipping it in his hand.
“I beg your pardon!” You snapped back, rising to stand toe to toe with the tall man. “I did not!”
“You can lie to yourself, but I have seen that look before.” Tom’s fingers traced the line of your jaw. You turned your head away, but he hooked your chin and snapped your face up to stare at him. “You want me.”
“I want no such thing!” your voice wavered. “I’m a graduate student and PhD candidate. You’re a professor! It is so improper. It’s a HR violation!”
Tom smirked as he leaned forward, his lips ghosting yours. “I won’t tell if you don’t.” Your hands snaked along his neck to pull him closer and his lips pressed against yours…
SLAM! The door startled you awake. You rubbed your eyes and found the man from your dreams standing in front of you.
“What the fuck are you doing in here!?” you screeched, scrambling to your feet, smoothing down your sweater.
Tom raised his eyebrows as he dropped his backpack on the vacant desk.
“Apologies. I don’t believe we have met yet, Thomas Hiddleston, but everyone calls me Tom. I am a guest professor this year. They gave me the spare desk. They didn’t tell you?”
“Fuck!” you hissed under your breath.
“What was that?” he asked, failing to hide the smile on his face.
“I said welcome!” you lied. You extended your hand and introduced yourself.
“Pleasure. I hope I didn’t disturb your nap. I should have been more quiet.”
“What?! No, I wasn’t napping. I was thinking! Right, I have been working on my dissertation.” You scrambled for a plausible explanation of why you were drooling on your desk just moments ago.
“It’s fine. I won’t tell HR if you don’t.”
“Look at the time! I got to go! Meeting!” You snatched your bag and bolted through the door, leaving Tom to wonder what the hell he had said.
-
“You ran?!” Cait nearly spit her coffee in your face.
“Like a bat out of hell.” You muttered as you lifted the cup to your lips to cool off the scalding coffee.
“Why in the hell did you do that?!”
“Because he said ‘I won’t tell HR if you don’t’ and just moments before he was whispering that into my ear as he was about to kiss me in my dream.”
That time Cait spat out her coffee. “You were having a sex dream?!” she squeezed your arm.
You brushed her off. “I was not having a sex dream. I dozed off writing my dissertation.”
“In this dream, were your clothes on or off?”
“On.”
“Did you wish they were off?”
You didn’t answer this time.
“You did! You little slut. Well, what are you going to do about it?”
“Nothing! There is nothing to do anything about. I am sure that man thinks I am a lunatic at worst and a girl with a possible bowel issue at best. Any relationship is dead in the water before it began.”
Cait sipped her coffee in contemplation. “So you are not going for it, mind if I take a shot?”
You punched her in the arm. Hard.
-
The next few weeks went better than you hoped. Your schedule seemed to be the exact opposite of Tom’s and you only saw him in passing in the halls. You gave each other a friendly wave while passing. It certainly helped you spent little to no time actually in the office.
As you opened your door, you noticed a paper cup on your desk.
“I fished one of your old ones out of the garbage to figure out your order.” Tom commented from his desk.
“Thank you. You didn’t have to do that.” You hid your other cup under your desk and took a sip from the one Tom gave you.
“I had to figure out some way to start a conversation. I am under the impression you have been avoiding me.”
You choked on the coffee. “What?! No! What gave you that impression?”
Tom covered his mouth with the back of his hand to suppress his laugh. “Well for starters, you bolted from here during our first meeting like I was contagious with bubonic plague.”
“I was late for a meeting.”
Tom nodded. “So you said.” He rose and moved to the couch closer to your desk. “And since then, I think you have been actively avoiding me.”
You gulped. “I’ve… I’ve… been working on my dissertation.���
“Without your laptop or research materials?” Tom lifted his chin towards the stack of books and papers in the corner. Your laptop perched on top of the stack. “Why don’t you tell me the actual reason?”
You shifted in your seat and developed a sudden interest in a small hole in your jean skirt. Tom reached over and massaged your knee.
“Perhaps, if I told you something first?” His eyes sparkled behind the rim of his glasses.
“Sure.” you answered with hesitation.
“I saw you in the back of the lecture hall that day.” You gave a nervous laugh. “And then afterwards, when I returned to the office to find you here. I couldn’t believe my luck.” His hand slid up from your knee to onto your thigh, stroking his hand up and down.
“Why was that?” you gulped. Your voice cracked as you asked.
Tom rubbed the back of his neck out of nerves. “To be completely honest, I have been finding myself having rather…” Tom shifted in discomfort. “… arousing dreams about you.” Your brows raised in surprise. “And I suspect you may be having the same issue.”
“Why would you think that?”
“Because you were moaning my name the other day in your sleep and you bolted at the mention of HR.”
“I said what?”
“It’s alright.” Tom pushed his knees between yours. “I have checked the policy and there is nothing against PhD candidates dating professors as long as they are not advisors or on the panel.”
“You checked on that?” You placed your hands on his thighs.
“Naturally, I can’t have one or both of us getting fired when I ravish you on this couch.”
“What-” your response was cut off by Tom pulling you onto his lap, his arms wrapping around your waist.
His lips crashed against yours, hungry and passionate. As his fingers moved along your body, his touch igniting your skin on fire.
“How does reality match up with your dreams?” you whispered against his mouth, your fingers tangling in his long hair.
He pulled his glasses off to stare at you. “In my dreams, you’re naked.”
“Is the door locked?”
Tom reached and clicked it shut. “It is now.” His hands tugged at your sweater. “Nice sweater.”
You ran your hands along his own turtleneck sweater. “You too. It would look better on the floor.”
In a flash, the two of you pulled off your tops, and you also slipped your bra off as well. Tom groaned as you shifted in his lap.
“You are the devil.” Tom growled against your neck, sucking at your pulse point.
You chuckled as you moved Tom’s hand underneath your skirt, pushing it up around your hips.
“No knickers?” Tom inquired, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
“A girl must always be prepared.” you teased.
“I don’t even want to know why. But I am pleased.”
Tom lifted your hips and undid the fly of his pants. His erect cock popped free. Tom guided you onto his cock. The two of you moaned in unison.
“Oh my god!” you exclaimed as Tom stretched you. You dug your nails into his shoulders.
“While I appreciate the enthusiasm.” Tom chuckled as he bucked up into you, “I would rather not put the HR policy to the test.”
“Then you better hurry because I don’t know how long I can keep quiet.”
“That can be arranged.” Tom gripped your hips and thrusted into you.
You held on for dear life to Tom’s shoulders and he fucked you at a bruising pace. Tom released one of your hips to find your clit, rubbing it along with his thrusts.
“Cum for me.” Tom commanded, growling in your ear.
You bit your lip to stifle your scream as you orgasm. Your head fell back as you clenched around Tom’s cock.
“Fuck, darling!” Tom cursed as his thrusts became erratic and he spilled inside you.
Tom fell back against the couch, pulling you tight against his chest. “So…” he started. “… now that we got the sex out of the way. Would you like to go with me to dinner tonight?”
You placed your finger on your chin in contemplation. “I’ll have to check my calendar. Which reminds me, you will need to clear out of here in about an hour for my next tryst.”
Tom slapped your ass as he smiled at your comment.
“Hey!” you smacked his arm. “That’s assault.” You wagged your finger in his face. “Don’t make me call HR on you.”
Tom’s lips curled into a smile as he kissed you. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”

Hot spring tales (Hisoka x female reader)
A Hisoka x female reader one-shot, with a sprinkle of Chrollo.
Situated in the HxH universe with canon timeline.
Disclaimer: nsfw, contains smut and explicit sex (but we know you're here for that)
Word count: 5000++ (wow did i just write 5000 words of smutty smut)
----
Pale, slender fingers tap against the phone screen. He finds the contact he is looking for and dials the number, raising the phone to his ear. Around him, dusk settles over the ragged terrain of the Gordeau desert. The wind gains in strength, almost pushing his combed black hair free.  The phone rings for a few seconds before the person on the other end picks up.
“Did you figure it out already?”
“Probably,” he says, his grey eyes catching the last wisps of fading light to the west. “The nen exorcist may very well be on Greed Island, which is East of York New. It seems you will need to enter the game as well.”
“Shall I procure one of Battera’s? He did buy all of the ones auctioned this time round.”
“No, that risks complicating things. What we need is a game privately owned by someone who is easily contactable, allows us to stay untraceable, preferably one who we wouldn’t have to kill and is reasonable towards helping…” he trails off, realizing that there is indeed someone who matches the conditions, someone who he would very much like to avoid for the time being… The irony of fate, he thinks, grimacing in irritation.
“It seems we will need to pay a visit to her.”
“Her?”
“I will send the address over to you. It’ll take me at least a day to get there, so you should start moving first. It would be better if you were the one handling negotiations this time round. And avoid mentioning my name, or the troupe’s.”
“Oh?” the voice on the other end piques with curiosity.
“We have… history. I’ll trust that you can strike a deal by the time I’m there?”
“Of course. After all, the chance to fight you is on the line.” He can almost hear the other man smirking gleefully through the phone.
“It’ll be dangerous, so try your best to be good, or our deal is off. Consider this a warning, Hisoka.”
----
You find yourself back at your quarters after dinner, alone in the large dressing room. Looking in the mirror, you arrange your hair neatly around your bun, making sure to tidy it for the next wave of customers tonight.
The underground auction has recently ended, and more people are flocking to your establishment. Kurohasu Onsen (Black Lotus Onsen) is renowned as the gathering-place for anybody who is somebody: a bathhouse that functions as neutral ground for politicians, powerful members of the mafia and hunters who have ties to the underworld to carry out business negotiations. A safe haven for murderers and thieves. All are welcome, although at a hefty price. The exorbitant entry fee is itself a gatekeeper of accessibility, and many have brought treasures and precious artefacts in the hope of gaining your favour. As weapons are allowed for protection, fights inevitably break out, but rarely do they erupt into something serious. All staff at the onsen are strong nen-users who pay close watch to customer behaviour. They have nen-restrainers on hand to subdue feisty ability users, and if not, there’s you, whose mysterious yet formidable presence is enough to elicit compliance. It is not uncommon to see off customers with missing limbs and near-fatal injuries, a warning punishment for breaking the establishment’s regulations. Furthermore, it is the iron-clad rule that the onsen is the one place where truce is enforced, upheld, respected. And you, the infamous proprietor, the black lotus of Kurohasu Onsen, are not someone to be crossed. Your customers are well aware of this.
You get up, ready to leave, when you turn to look at the mirror again. Your black onyx hairpin fits in and across your bun, easily reachable within seconds. Your eyes travel down to look at the black shimmering contours of your silk robe with its ornate floral embroidery, opening at two slits that end above the knee, the garment tied fittingly at the waist with a scarlet obi sash. Presentable, you hum in approval, before walking out the door.
Your secretary Esa is already waiting. “Give me updates,” You demand.
She follows you briskly down the corridor as you make your rounds to greet notable clients. Esa does this every three hours, reciting the list of new guests checked in since the last report, the rooms they booked, the meetings they have arrived for, and the fees paid. You remember everything, noting the ones who offer presents not entirely up to standard, or troublesome ones with a sketchy behavioural record.
“A while ago, a Hisoka Morow checked into the deluxe room. 50,000 Jenny a night for 2 nights, with a possible extension.”
The name catches you slightly off guard. You have never met the man, but from your intel he’s one of the most sought-after fighters at Heaven’s Arena. And a dangerous murderer too. But as far as you know, the man works alone and doesn’t get involved with politics. Why would someone like him be here?
“He has a meeting?” you turn to Esa.
“If he had, he did not say. Most likely for leisure, though. The onsen is famous for its baths too,” replied your attendant matter-of-factly.
You pause for a while to think, before calling over a male security staff with a wave of a finger. “Keep tabs on Hisoka. Let me know if he’s up to anything.” The staff bows and immediately embarks on fulfilling your order. You return to your duties for now, but the seed of suspicion and uneasiness does not go away.
---
“Ahh… now this is not bad,” Hisoka smiles to himself as he climbs into the water. He rests his head against the smooth stone edge of the outdoor bath, watching the steam lift gently from the softly rippling surface. When Chrollo told him about this place, he expected it to be dim and grimy, trawling with underworld scum. Instead, what greeted him was the pure luxury of mineral-rich baths, large clean rooms and 1000 thread-count sheets. He could get used to this. Not to mention…
His eyes wander over the bath, taking stock of the situation. Being quite late at night, most guests have retired to respective meeting rooms for drinks and negotiations, with only a smattering of visitors, mostly individuals or pairs, left lounging in the outdoor section. The only other people are the ever-present security staff, including one particularly persistent male staff standing at the private viewing balcony above. At least the nen users here are stronger than usual. A slight tremor of pleasure runs through his body, and he runs his fingers through his wet hair to shake the feeling before it builds into bloodlust. It’s been a while since he killed. He is still riled up from two days ago, thanks to the blond runt. And Chrollo, that damn bastard.
He observes the nen-users with half-closed eyes. 75… 80… 85… He evaluates. Not too shabby. Then he senses it. 97!! He feels the sudden presence, an impeccable zetsu with a tinge of icy smoothness and fiery calm toiling beneath its surface. It is enough for him to widen his eyes and sit up straight, a hot tingling sensation travelling down his spine, pleasure surging into his body for a split second, almost goading him into a fight right there and then. Well, what do we have here? He looks to the source of this pressure, golden eyes flashing and meeting yours, as you look down at him from the balcony above.
One look and you know he clearly lives up to his reputation. He is suppressing his power by default, but his presence leaves a slight prickling static in the air which only stronger nen users can detect. He also seems to have noticed you, judging by the slight shift his posture, the electrifying gaze beneath his damp red hair and the sudden tension in the air with his nen flaring, almost breaking its zetsu. Despite the distance, both of you lock eyes for a moment, each one feeling out the other, gauging abilities, locating motives. What the hell is his aim? You face the sheer intensity of his gaze with your own cold, calculating glare, both of you guarding your intentions yet attempting to penetrate through the other’s guise, staring each other down as if in a challenge. No one relents. But you can’t help but feel a rising irritation, that the man sitting naked in the outdoor bath three floors beneath you is getting under your skin, and a distracting kind of warmth creeps in... You look away. You nod to the staff to continue strict monitoring and return to your room.
Hisoka watches you leave, and instinctively his fingers run through his hair again, this time harder than the last. Oh, Chrollo… Don’t tell me that’s her? A smile tugs at the corner of his lips. Oh, you were right. This is going to be dangerous.
---
You don’t hear any more concerning updates on Hisoka until later the next day. Besides using the baths for extended periods of time, and mild complaints from other guests of his lengthy and uncomfortable stares, he hasn’t caused any trouble. He hasn’t physically contacted anyone either.
“Come again?” you stop abruptly, mid-way through scanning the paper records of this month’s taxes and bills, glancing up at your secretary.
Esa clears her throat and speaks again. “Madam, Hisoka Morow has requested for a meeting with you today.”
Hmph. You scoff a little, your eyes narrowing to ponder the next course of action. You had expected something like this. There is no way someone like him would travel all the way here just to use the baths, let alone without engaging anyone. If his aim is to negotiate matters with you, it must be something quite serious, given that neither of you have gone out of your way to meet with each other previously.
“Shall I cancel?” Esa asks, ready to deliver the order and reject the fool that had the nerve to request a meeting with you on such short notice.
“No. Make it tonight at eleven, after I complete my usual rounds.”
“Understood.”
---
It is night, and the onsen quietens for the day. Only the soft rushes of spring water from the outdoor baths and the muffled sounds of late-night negotiations drift by. You find yourself finally seated across from him in one of your private meeting rooms, both of you silent but never once taking your eyes off each other, quietly assessing one another.
Now up close and clothed in a blue yukata, accentuating the red hair that falls close to his shoulders, you can’t help but find him just a little more attractive than you imagined. His golden eyes are calm, steady, even confident, a rarity for anyone for finds them in a room alone with you. Most people would have bowed their head in submission long ago. You keep your own icy composure. But the force of his nen suppressed under zetsu, his incredibly toned body beneath his yukata and that arrogant way he looks at you make your body feel warmer than usual.
When he sees you for the first time that night, seated on the far end of the room, he feels it again. That powerful presence that keeps goading him, that sends electrifying jolts through his body. You’re seated comfortably on the floor, almost reclining, yet the hard, murderous edge of your gaze shows you are constantly on guard. Simply exquisite. He almost licks his lips but controls himself. A fine opponent… to kill? No, no, much too soon… that would be a waste. Chrollo comes first.
The meeting hall is much too large for two people, spanning over 24 tatami in size. On both sides, paper screen doors open out into an elegant view of the autumn trees in the estate, shedding its red delicately in the wind. A long, low black lacquer table in the center of the room separates you and him, each of you seated on either end. Silence continues to hang in the air. A staff gracefully pours a luxurious blend of sencha into the cups, before she places the tea pot and tray on the floor, bows, and takes her leave quickly. You notice Esa hovering by the doorway to the room.
“Esa, you may go.”
“But Madam-” your secretary protests but stops as you give her a glare. She of all people would understand you’re probably the last person in the establishment who needs any form of protection. As her footsteps recede down the hallway outside, you turn back to the man in front of you.
“To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you today?”
“It has come to my knowledge,” Hisoka finally speaks, and the slow, sly curl of his tone lights another fire in you, “that you are in possession of one of the most sought-after items in the world of late. I have a pressing need for it and would like to negotiate a deal.”
“I’m a collector of the rarest treasures, so you’re going to have to be more specific,” you scoff, taking a sip of your tea.
“I’m talking about a certain game.”
“Ah, Greed Island,” you retort indifferently, although inwardly puzzled. Why would he go to such lengths just for a game? Didn’t seem like the type. “What makes you think I’ll agree to your request? What is in it for me?”
Hisoka pauses, contemplating something before pushing onwards with a slight smirk. “I’m not sure if you know of a certain man by the name of… Chrollo Lucilfer?”
He waits for the intended effect and sure enough, you react. Immediately, at the mention of the name you’re hit with an unpleasant sensation that makes you grit your teeth, and your eyes blaze with a hint of fury. Without realizing, a cracking sound fills the room as the cast iron tea pot on the floor dents with the force of your nen.
Hisoka looks at the pot quietly before he smiles, lifting the tea cup to his lips, his eyes only growing darker as he trains his gaze on you. Interesting. “May I know, if it’s not too much to ask, the reason for your disdain of the man?”
“I’ve known him for a long time. He tried to kill me twice, once on purpose and the second time by accident. Clearly, he did not succeed,” you say, finishing your tea.
Beautifully exquisite. Another thrill runs through his spine, almost making him tremble with excitement. Perhaps it would be safe to suggest…
“I’m looking for Chrollo. He’s been running from me for a while now, and last I heard he has been spotted hiding out in the game. I would very much like to settle our score soon. Of course, perhaps to your advantage I fully intend on killing him, with pleasure,” Hisoka continues, waving his hand in the air with dismissive complacency.
“If only it were so simple,” you retort, knowing the full potential of Chrollo’s abilities. “And how can I take you for your word?”
“You can’t.”
You look up in mild distaste at Hisoka. What a bastard. You could slit his throat right now, with that cocky expression of his. And yet, your body feels a little hot when he’s looking at you, his gaze ruthlessly penetrating and his nen just on the edge of flaring.
“Name your offer, Hisoka.” You say his name for the first time, aware of how his gaze hardens when you do so, and your body burns with a strange desire which you suppress under the guise of irritation.
“I’m not offering.”
“What?”
“Allow me to use the game, or I will go on to kill everyone in this establishment, including your precious secretary and all your guests. It’s been a while since I had fun and I won’t stop when I do.”
The audacity. You slam your cup on the table and glare at him, your nen bristling beneath the surface. It was a mistake to let him into the bathhouse. And the worst part is that he is right. He could take out everyone except you here with ease, and you’d lose your manpower, your reputation, your business. Everything you worked hard for since leaving meteor city years ago. Perhaps it’ll be wise to dispose of him right here, right now.
In a split second, you draw the long onyx pin from your hair, leaping across the length of the table with such grace and speed that the tea in Hisoka’s cup barely ripples, as you aim for this throat, slicing the air in front of you. He dodges at the last moment, his eyes wild with a feral look as you nick of a few strands of his hair and the sharp edge of your hairpin draws a faint red line along his throat. He grins. He’s clearly enjoying this. He moves to land a counter-attack but you jump away. You’ve put distance between the two of you again; you grip your hair pin, calm and poised for another strike, while he similarly crouches, one hand reaching to stroke the mark you made on his throat.
“Now you’re just getting me excited,” his voice drops to a low purr.
Here you are, seconds after nearly killing him, and you feel your body reacting to his voice and his unapologetic desire. You know you have the power to end him, yet a tingling sensation creeps over the lower half of your body. You can feel sweat starting to gather around your stomach, while another warm wetness pools further below, between your legs. It’s been so long since anyone made you feel this way. Not since… Your thoughts are interrupted as he appears behind you, aiming for your head.
“Pay attention, darling.”
There’s barely any sound in the meeting room as you and Hisoka continue to spar in near complete zetsu, restraining nen to avoid alerting the attention of other guests and the security staff. His eyes gleam more with your every strike, his moves maintain its strength but do not get more forceful, and neither do yours. You feel the exhilaration of the near-misses, of your bodies brushing against one another before pulling away, the light friction of fabric against fabric, as if locked in a graceful dance that neither of you want to end. Moonlight cascades through the open balcony, and there’s a glint in Hisoka’s eyes.
“Let’s stop pretending we’re serious about killing each other, shall we?” he quips with a smirk.
His words register, and you halt. You weren’t noticing it before, but he is right. You weren't trying. You falter for a moment too long. Then he rushes you, pinning your body down onto the floor with his own weight, brute force mixed with excitement to the point that his nails dig into the straw of the tatami below, ripping it slightly. He raises a hand, about to spill your blood, when your control slips. Before, your brief exchanges saw your body feeling hotter, winding tighter as it did more cautious. But now, with him pressing down onto you from above, not pulling away, gripping with a strength that few possess and with a wicked look in his eyes, you can’t keep it down anymore. You let out a throaty moan as his holds you hard, feeling your underwear getting more soaked with every passing second. His eyes widen in surprise, and he pauses. You and him remain quiet like this for a while, the wind from outside gently caressing both your bodies, teasing out an answer.
Then, as if on instinct, both your mouths crash together. Neither of you are ashamed at the pure lust that erupts between the two of you, bloodlust still not completely abating which spurs you and him on even more. His tongue slips into you mouth, determined on stealing your breath, your hand clasped around your hair pin still trapped within his, his ferocious strength barely just surpassing your own as you do not back down, struggling against the restraint. It is still a fight, after all. Yet his other free hand trails down your silk robe, slithering between the open slits to your thighs before raising one of your legs to wrap around his torso. You moan into his kiss and move against his clothed body, desperate for friction.
"Patience, my dear." He pauses, giving you a sadistic grin.
You’re not going to let him keep staying in control. In a surge of strength you topple and roll over him in a flash, slamming him to the floor and stabbing the pin right into the tatami next to his head, at which Hisoka lets out a loud groan. You press and rub yourself against him, leaving small bites along his neck, your hair starting to come loose and fall to the side of your face from the exertion. The warmth between your legs grows, and it’s not just you. Hisoka is only wearing underwear beneath the yukata, and you feel his erection, hot and hard beneath your rolling hips. You feel your own slick starting to run down your inner thigh, and you ache to be filled.
You pull away and gaze down at Hisoka, who’s just starting to get a little breathless with desire, his eyes clouded with lust. You pull the hairpin from the floor and aim it at his throat. You command, your voice cold and edged with arrogance.
“Stop wasting my time and just fuck me already.”
At this, Hisoka lets out a low growl, flipping you on your back, almost tearing the obi around your waist to shreds with his hands. His mouth latches onto your neck and you cry out, as his hands reach under your bra to free your breasts, rolling your nipples between his fingers, alternating between gentle strokes and forceful pinches. Your body shakes with pleasure and you grind against him, your hands fumbling to move his yukata out of the way. You cover your palm over his bulge, which is already straining hard against his underwear. He bites a little harder on your skin as you do, goading you on. You reach beneath the fabric, stroking his most sensitive spot, and you feel him shudder against you. Oh, to have such a powerful man like him at your mercy.
Before you have time to think, your pleasure increases ten-fold, white-hot and surging through your body as his fingers find their way to your slit, obscenely slick with your honey.
“Oh? This wet for me already?” he murmurs into your ear, sending shivers down your arms and making you moan.
He sits back a little, his piercing gaze boring into you as he lifts his fingers to his lips, licking it clean. “So sweet,” he whispers, his eyes never leaving you, almost taunting your state of helplessness before him, and you twitch with pleasure.
“Shut u-” you demand, stopping short with a intake of breath as his tongue circles your nipple and he thrusts two fingers into your aching slit, expertly thrusting, stroking, caressing, hitting all the right spots as you can’t help but moan and fist his soft, red locks. His thumb finds your bud and rubs, with increasing pressure, matching the circling motions of his tongue. Hisoka pulls away and looks down at you, panting and wriggling beneath his touch, your words incoherent but eyes still fierce with power and control, and he finds himself growing harder, unbearably hungry. You feel his desire through his nen, bristling with lust, fingers coaxing you to bliss and eyes ravishing you unabashedly for everything you are and you feel yourself pushed nearer to the edge.
“I’m close,” you gasp, and you see Hisoka smirk dangerously as he pulls his fingers out of you. The pleasure that builds now cuts short, tapering off.
“Kisama,” you mutter in annoyance as you ram his body against the side of the lacquer dining table, pushing him into an upright, sitting position. He chuckles at your urgency and vexation yet remains turned on as you clutch your hairpin over his throat as a warning. His golden eyes are glazed over and quivering, a sign he is properly riled up, his hair now a mess, and his breathing is slightly heavier than before. You pull his large erection free from his underwear.
“You bastard. I’m not going to give you any time.” You growl, and his eyes grow more piercing.
You lower your soaking, aching pussy onto him. The stretch makes both of you groan in unison, and you almost come immediately from his entrance. He is huge in both girth and length, and it takes a while before you’re accustomed to his size. It was so long since you had proper sex with anyone. After he is buried in you to the hilt, you pause, glaring at him with a look aggressive with lust and a need for control. He moans in pleasure and you feel his grip on you tighten considerably. Then you move, slowly first, then quickening your pace, rolling and rubbing against him so his cock enters you at the best angles. His hands reach up to grab your hips, steadying you while he snaps up into you, pounding with such speed it makes your mind go blank with pleasure.
“Ahh-h—h!” you moan, louder this time, shaking with the mounting pleasure as he enters you fast, viciously, more than you can keep up with. You get wetter with each of his thrusts, squelching and slapping sounds filling empty room as he pulls out and fills you completely again with each punishing stroke. You feel yourself nearing your climax, your body swaying and jiggling with the rhythm as your bounce on Hisoka's cock, pressing your fingers harder around his body.
He senses it too, and growls, refusing to take his eyes from yours. You feel his nails rake your hips, grabbing your ass, pain and pleasure intermingling as your near your end. Waves of white-hot pleasure wash over you as you moan into your orgasm, your eyes closed in bliss as you tremble violently, clenching tightly around Hisoka, muttering curses as you come completely undone.
Before you have time to come down from your high, Hisoka pulls out, his rock-hard cock dripping with your honey, before grabbing you and laying you down on the table, towering over you once more. Then he fully sheaths himself inside you in one go, making you cry out at the jolt of oversensitivity as he pushes towards his own end. Using the slick from your orgasm, he goes even faster now, relentless, his hands holding your legs wide apart so he can have unfettered access to you while he slams into you without restraint.
"You like this, don't you? You like being punished like this?" He purrs with forcefulness, a sign he is close, lustful gaze boring into yours while he pummels into you.
You can't help but shudder at his words, but you spit out through gritted teeth. "Don't get cocky. And don't you dare finish inside, or I'll kill you before you are even done."
His control snaps. You feel his cock twitch inside of you. Then he pulls out and comes, moaning with deep satisfaction in your ear, his warm load spilling onto your stomach. After he finishes, you both gaze as each other for a while, barely out of breath, sweat glistening against skin. Your clothes are both in a mess and disarray, his hands are still spreading you wide and bare torso pressed against you as you both bask in the afterglow, sharing a moment to take in the surreal pleasure of what was an extremely unplanned but steaming hot round of sex.
"So with this, do we have a deal?" He breaks the silence with a devious smile.
"I'm not that cheap if you think once is enough." You retort as you clean up, pulling your clothes back on. "At least three more times, with an additional fee of 300,000 Jenny."
"Aren't you a greedy one," Hisoka smirks, tying his yukata back in place. "Alright. It's a deal, not like I'm complaining. I might deliver more than you ask for." His golden eyes travel across your body once more before meeting yours, and you can still see a faint glimmer of lust, ready to be reignited.
"Enjoying yourself?" An icy voice comes from the darkened doorway.
You don't even need to look to know who it is, recognizing the voice immediately. Cold grey eyes gaze at you from a figure leaning against the entryway.
"Chrollo," you almost spit out.
"Ah," says Hisoka naturally, "you're finally here."
You turn to scowl at Hisoka, realizing his blatant lie from earlier. You wonder for a moment how Chrollo even got in to the onsen without your notice, given that him and the troupe remain high up on your guest blacklist. Then you sense his nen, or rather his lack of it, a blur void except for the vague tinge of someone else’s foreign nen around his chest. A contract, then. He's harmless now.
Chrollo steps into the room, dressed elegantly in a black yukata, his hair let down comfortably. "Seems like you taste in men hasn't changed. I took a gamble on that." His steely grey gaze, piercing, calculating and formidable in confidence, still make you tremble a little, despite knowing him for years.
You take a while to understand and chuckle, looking from Chrollo to Hisoka. "Seems like we both got played."
The latter narrows his eyes at Chrollo before running his hand through his hair, sighing. "Well, as expected of him. Again, not like I'm complaining."
"Hisoka, leave us for a moment," you order.
"As you wish." You feel him step out but loiter along the corridor, waiting to pick up on the following conversation. Now it's just you and Chrollo left in the room. He doesn't move closer to you.
"It's been long. Too... long." Chrollo speaks, his voice calm but you detect a tinge of nostalgia, affection, regret and caution all entangled in one.
You know what he means. You can even see it now, the times he drove you wild, nearly killing you with nen. You can see all the times his lips met yours, growing a steady fire with a kiss, his fingers grazing your skin and making you moan and whimper while you grasp his hair tight in your hands, your mind blanking and feeling the universe come apart and stitch right back together...
"You won't be able to handle me now, in your current state. I would break you. It wont be pleasurable for any of us," you reply coolly. You catch the sound of a stifled laugh from the hallway outside. "Once you get your nen back, I just might reconsider."
You stand up, letting your silk robes fall gracefully past your knees once more. You arrange your bun and slip the onyx pin back into your hair.
"You can use the game tomorrow. I'll have it prepared. Tonight, I'll be busy receiving my payment. In full." You pause a little next to him, giving him one last, long look, before walking out the room and towards your quarters, Hisoka trailing behind.
Alone, Chrollo's eyes are deep and unreadable. Unconsciously, his hands are balled into tight fists by his sides. Then he breathes deeply, chuckling to himself.
What a woman. "Hisoka, you'd better get the job done. Fast."
---
Notes: omg this took way longer than i expected to!!! I’m quite proud of this one ;) I got inspired by a mobage card of hisoka, chrollo and the phantom troupe at an onsen and decided to do this imagine piece! Hope you enjoyed my fellow hisoka simps, it was so fun to write ;)

Frustrations (Aizawa Shouta x Reader)
Warning: This one-shot is pure smutty filth. 18+ only. Dom/Sub Relationship, Overstimulation, Unprotected Sex, probably more I can’t think of. 
Premise: Teaching has never been an easy job for you or Shouta, so you have to find ways to ease your frustrations.
Word Count:  1,285
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“That’s a good Kitten.” Shouta’s thumb flicks over your sensitive clit, making your whole body shiver and shake. Your back is pressed flush against his toned chest while his fingers work between your legs. Two digits continuously hit that wonderful spot inside of you while his other hand gropes your breast, pinching your erect nipple.
“Please-“
“Not yet.”
“But I-“
“No.” His hands stop, fingers frozen inside of your clenching pussy, thumb pressed firmly onto your bundle of nerves to keep the tension there. “You know the rules, Kitten. You only cum when my cock is inside of you, understand?”
He had been at this for hours. You both had a tough day at work today. Teaching has never been an easy job, but sometimes the students make it a little bit harder. Today was one of those days. Naturally, you had gone to your husband to voice your frustrations, only to find him in a similar situation as you. The best solution? Fuck out the frustrations, no matter how long it takes. And tonight, it’s taking a long time.
Your toes curl into the bed sheets as your wriggle your ass back against his crotch. You can feel how hard he his—while he is tormenting you, you know he’s tormenting himself more. Your head dips back so you can see the desire in his eyes, and you’re not at all disappointed. His pupils are completely lust blown.
“Please, sir.” You plead further. “Please fuck me.” If you don’t beg for it, he’ll never relent. Shouta’s lips twitch upward, exciting you further as he pulls his fingers away from your soaking wet cunt, bringing them up to his mouth to suck on them. He makes sure you’re watching, furthering the heat that has been rising within your as you watch him lick his digits clean. He releases them with a little ‘pop’, grinning from ear to ear when he hears your low whine.
“Such a needy girl tonight. It almost makes me want to drag this out.” When you whine again, he gives you a sharp slap to your thigh, eliciting a small yelp from the back of your throat. “Then again…” His lips brush against the crook of your neck, making your eyes flutter shut. His fingers rub soft circles over the area he just slapped, soothing the reddened skin until you eased yourself against him, completely relaxed. “I want to see you soak my cock, Kitten.” With a few simple words, you were all but done for.
Shouta flips the two of you over in an instant, so quickly that you could briefly feel your head spin. One hand on the back of your head pushes your face into the sheets, while the other drags your hips up. It’s the perfect position.
“If you want to be fucked like a bitch in heat, then I’ll fuck you. Is that what you want?” You nod your head, but that isn’t good enough for him. He grinds your ass against his still clothed dick. “Say it for me, Kitten.” A deep red blush adorns your face as you speak.
“I… I want you to fuck me like I’m a bitch in heat… Please…” Your response elicits a deep groan from the Pro Hero behind you. You can hear the distinct sounds of his belt being undone, excitement growing.
He teases the tip of his dick against your entrance, his hand coming between the two of you to gently tease your oversensitive clit again. The little bud swells and throbs under his expert strokes, making you pant into the sheets that are bunched up beneath you. You plead for him to enter you, moving your hips back against his only for your ass to receive a harsh slap in return.
“Behave. I can keep this up all night.” What a delicious thought. He pinches your clit between his fingers, rolling the bud roughly until you practically sob in pleasure. That’s when he finally pushes the tip of his cock past your entrance, savoring your moans as you squeeze around him.
“T-Thank you.” The whimper barely reaches Shouta’s ears, and maybe if he hadn’t been so distracted by the way you perfectly squeeze around his thick cock, then he might have had you speak up. Instead, he slowly slides into your wet warmth until he bottoms out, staying still for a good moment just to savor you.
You keep entirely still, no matter how badly you want him to move. You know better, if you try to thrust your hips back then he would stop you in your tracks and the night would only be longer. When Shouta finally begins to move within you, you can’t help sigh in relief, pushing your ass up higher to give him further access. He chuckles at your eagerness, bringing his hand down for another smack to your well-rounded bottom. Shouta likes the welts that his hand leaves behind. Knowing that he not only marks you with his mouth, but also with his hand, drives him absolutely insane.
One arm snakes around your waist so he can grope your breasts as he picks up the pace, brushing over your nipples. Soft grunts and sultry moans echo off the walls of your bedroom, intermingling with the sound of your sweaty skin slapping against his. Shouta’s other arm, the one keeping your bottom half elevated, extends so he can tease your vulnerable clit again. Sparks shoot up your spine the second that the pad of his finger flicks over it again, causing your hips to involuntarily twitch. With one sharp thrust and well-timed stroke to your clit, you could feel the tension in your belly build.
“Sho!”
“(Y/N)…” He groans out your name, now rubbing harsh circles onto your swollen nub. Your legs almost snap shut at a sudden jolt of pleasure, but another slap to your thigh prompts you to keep them open. Shouta’s thrusts become more wild, making you shriek while he fucks you into pure submission. His fingers find the bare bud of your clit beneath its hood, pinching it harshly until you squeeze him just right. Another snap of his hips, and you’re coming completely undone beneath him. Your hips shiver and shake, attempting to pull away from the stimulation Shouta gives you, but it’s never going to be that easy.
The hand giving attention to your tits now keeps you pinned to the bed as he chases his own orgasm, relishing in the squeaks and cries you give him as your pussy continues to wet his cock with your cum. His other hand continues to rub your clit, overstimulating you, keeping your orgasm going long past when it should have ended until finally, he pushes deep within you and fills you with his hot cum. After giving you a few more lazy thrusts, he stills, keeping you both in that position for a moment longer. Even though he doesn’t want to yet, he acknowledges your own exhaustion and pulls out of you, pleased at the sight of his semen dripping down your swollen folds.
You’re sore and exhausted, but like always, you’re absolutely satisfied. Shouta gently turns you over and places a soft kiss to your forehead, before briefly leaving you to go grab a warm, damp towel from the bathroom. When he comes back, he cleans you, whispering soft words in your ear about how good you did, how wonderful you are, how much he adores every part of your existence. When he was done, he slipped into bed with you, pulling you to his chest to run his fingers through your hair.
“Thank you, (Y/N).”
“Don’t thank me, we both needed it.”

Hiya! How’s chapter 11 coming along? I’m sure it’s going to be amazing no matter what! If the smutty dabi one shot is still on the agenda I have a little idea for some very soft fluff. I know you don’t take requests but I can’t stop thinking about this idea! I already shared it with @sauza via anon but I wanna know what you think and if you might consider extending it into a full fic. Here goes!
The league is playing a party game where everyone writes down random (often lewd or dangerous) things on cards. There’s a verb pile and a noun pile. Each person draws one card from each pile (for example: the verb card “lick” and the noun card “the blade of toga’s favorite knife”) and then they go and perform the act like a dare. If you chicken out of the randomized dare you are out for the rest of the game. (Also I like to think that Compress is a wizard at shuffling cards and makes sure everything is truly random.) At the time I couldn’t think of a prize but lets say the winner gets to pick the kind of takeout they eat for dinner next time.
Our lovely reader happens to draw the verb card “give a kiss to” and the noun card “every single one of dabi’s staples”. She doesn’t have to perform the task in front of everyone, but if she has a witness (dabi) that can verify then she gets a point? Idk. I think it’d be interesting if the relationship wasn’t completely established yet so cue flustered reader.
However reader decides maybe I can use this as an opportunity? My boi dabi has been self loathing a lot lately so maybe this can help??? Dabis pretty chill with the whole ordeal since he thinks reader is a fine piece of ass anyway. Normally dabi is a little rough when it comes to seggs and likes to be the dominant one, so he’s a little bratty. However the reader is assertive but soft and something about the tenderness just gets to dabi so he’s more sensitive than normal and he lets out cute little noises. Then maybe this can lead into smut! Whatever you feel works best!
Anyhoo that’s my idea! You’re super creative with your storytelling and I think you can take it in so many different directions that would all be fantastic! I also think you could come up with more dare combinations that would be really funny! Please do tell me your thoughts when you get the chance! Love you!
So many thoughts with this. I'm not very good at dare games like that, so not sure my ideas would be good ones. But I think the dares would all be more about messing with the other members to fuck with each other and piss each other off (lovingly) and less about getting lewd things to happen. If anything, I think Toga would be the one to put "give a kiss to" since she's so obsessed with love, so that combo of kissing Dabi's staples could still happen hypothetically. Some silly daring ideas that popped into my head... Steal one of Shigaraki's hands (good fuckin' luck)
Wear Compress's mask (imagine the hilarity where someone takes off his mask only for him to be wearing another one underneath it...)
Drink Twice's favorite beer (especially if it's the last one)
Wear Magne's lipstick (Imagine Shigaraki pulling this one)
Give a massage to Spinner (Not a dare cuz it's Spinner, but because it requires emotionally repressed villains to show and receive affection with one another. And he deserves it. I love Spinner.)
The challenge with this though, is that it could make some odd combos that might not make sense if the verbs and nouns are mixed up ("give a massage to Magne's lipstick," for example). So I think writing out simple truths or dares would be easier, and maybe have each person write out and submit three to give some variety.
I'd imagine that this would be an "ice breaker" game that someone would suggest, not quite realizing the chaos it would cause (Twice, maybe?). I DO however, LOVE LOVE the overall idea of kissing every single one of Dabi's staples and making that man melty soft. For me, I'd probably have it be a part of an impactful scene around intimacy and Dabi finally letting go, because I'd imagine that letting someone else touch (let alone kiss) his staples would be a huge deal for him. (I actually have a much later scene in Touch that will involve something similar, so perhaps I can tweak your idea for that scene and give you credit and tribute the chapter to you? 👀)
Anyway, those are my thoughts!

Sex, Drugs,&Space Chaos Ch. 2 (A Smutty Handsome Jack Adventure)
FInd more chapters on my AO3! https://archiveofourown.org/works/27921886/chapters/68380147
P.S. I friggen love comments, indulge me y’all
Chapter 2: A Push, a Pull, and a Twist
Rei arrived at Jack’s office promptly at 5. The room was enormous, with Jack’s desk at the far end on a raised platform in front of three massive windows overlooking a vast expanse of black space speckled with shimmering stars. Rei couldn’t help but smile to herself upon seeing the room; of course Jack would rule Hyperion from a stage.
Jack was lounging, feet up on his desk and a cigarette dangling between his fingers. A pair of unfamiliar people, clearly not Hyperion employees, were seated in front of him, drinks in hand. Jack was talking animatedly to a tall, lanky young man with slicked back hair and a cybernetic arm who was hovering at his side. This looked like less of a company meeting and more of small soiree, but Rei wasn’t complaining. Jack called out to her as she approached.
“Ah, good!  Tiny cartel boss, meet the vault hunters. Vault hunters, tiny cartel boss,” he said cheerfully.
Rei decided to ignore the jab about her height and flashed him a crooked smile, relieved that he seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Is that my new title? I dig it,” she mused. Jack winked at her appreciatively.
“Have a seat. Rhys, pour our friend here a drink. What are you drinking, sweetheart?”
“Uhh whiskey neat, I guess,” she said, lowering herself into a chair. The tall man nodded and descended the steps of the platform to rummage around in Jack’s mini bar.
“This is your ace-in-the-hole, Jack? Really? She’s gonna get killed real quick down on Pandora,” growled a huge, muscular, bearded man with excessive cybernetics seated next to her. A tall, regal looking black woman dressed in a white fur lined coat leaned against his chair, eyeing Rei with equal skepticism.
“That’s why, Wilhelm, my dear, she’s not going down there to clean up that bandit filth. You are. You’re the brawn, she’s the brains. You clear the way and Rei will do the rest,” said Jack.
“You know, uh, I grew up on Pandora. I’ve held my own in more than a few fights,” Rei said with a hint of indignation in her voice. Her hand subconsciously drifted under her lab coat to the holster on her hip. She had decided not to take any chances and come armed with a pistol.
Jack’s eyebrows shot up.
“Hmm, is that so? There was nothing in your file about Pandora…”
“I’m sure you realize there’s a lot about me that’s not in Hyperion’s database. Besides, it’s not exactly something I advertise around Helios. People seem to have a lot of… misconceptions about Pandora. Thanks,” she said, taking the drink that Rhys handed her. “So what exactly is it that you want me to do for you?”
Jack grinned and took a drag of his cigarette before stubbing it out in a crystal ashtray.
“So-ho-ho much, cupcake,” he said with a chuckle. “Let’s start with mining the hell out of that shithole planet Pandora. We’re going to gut it and pull out all the Eridium until it collapses in on it’s stupid little self, and you’re going to oversee it. Then you’re going to take all that sweet, sweet Eridium and figure out a way to charge me a vault key. And all those little bandits your lab buddies drugged and tortured until they became psychos? I want some of those, too. But obedient. I swear I’ll shoot them right between the friggin’ eyes if any of those little monsters so much as looks at me wrong. But that comes later.”
“And what about the moral implications of, you know, torture and destroying a planet and all that…?” asked Rei, peering at him over rim of her glass.
Jack looked at her blankly for a moment, then broke into peels of laughter.
“Really? Really? The ex-Pandoran drug lord is questioning my moral integrity? Or are you getting cold feet, here?” he said, cackling.
Rei wasn’t questioning Jack’s moral compass so much as trying to discern if he actually had one. She concluded that…well she still had no idea, not that it mattered much. Over the years Rei had learnt and re-learnt the same lesson; survival first, power second, morality…whenever it was convenient. It was how the Borderlands worked.
“So I’ll take that as permission to do whatever I need to do.”
“You’ve got a free pass, run wild! And kitten, I really can’t wait to what happens when I set you loose. All you have to do is sign-” he motioned towards Rhys, who pulled a piece of paper from a folder under his arm.  “Here,” said Jack, pointing to a blank line at the bottom of the page.
She liked the sound of that…complete freedom to do whatever questionable project her heart desired was all she had ever wanted. She took a sip of her drink feeling more at ease with Jack, optimistic that this situation might actually turn out well for her. Rei picked up the contract and began to skim it.
“Don’t bother reading it, cupcake. You either sign, or I give you a ten second head start before I start shooting,” said Jack, reaching for his own drink.
“Jack, darling, are you quite sure she’s trustworthy? Wilhelm and I have already proved our merit. Don’t you feel compelled to test our new comrade?” asked the expensive looking woman.
“Aurelia, your concern is adorable, really, it is,” Jack said, flashing her a charming, well-practiced smile. “But you don’t need to concern yourself with anything other than getting paid.”
“I don’t know about that,” she said, frowning.
“Speak for yourself,” grunted Wilhelm.
“So,” said Jack, pushing a pen towards Rei, “what’s it gonna be, darlin’? Are we going to be buddies, or do I need to blow your brains out?”
Rei couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Oh wow, thanks for the ultimatum. I’ll need a minute to think about that one,” she said sarcastically, picking up the pen.
“Ooh, mouthy. Very, cute, kitten,” he said, sneering down at Rei as she signed the contract. “Ok kiddos, now that you’re all acquainted, you’ve got work to do. Off you go,” said Jack, waving a hand towards the door.  
Aurelia reached out and straightened Jack’s collar before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
“Do be careful, dear. I would hate for anything else to happen to that handsome face,” she cooed. She turned and followed Wilhelm out. Rei put her glass down and turned to leave as well.
“Ah-ah-ah. Not you, Rei. We’ve got a couple more things to discuss,” Jack said, eyeing her with a wolfish, almost hungry expression.
“Yes sir,” she said, taking a seat in Wilhelm’s recently vacated chair. She noticed that Rhys remained quietly behind Jack, watching her with a hint of concern.
“Rhysie, go get me a sandwich,” Jack said, without turning to look at him.
Rhys paused a moment, looking at Jack wonderingly, then shrugged and left.
As soon as the metal doors slid shut behind Rhys, Jack stood and rounded the desk. He perched on the edge directly in front of Rei, legs spread wide and arms folded over his puffed out chest, obviously trying to intimidate her.
“Aurelia’s got a point, kitten. How do I know you’re trustworthy?”
“Well I did just sign a binding contract under threat of death, so there’s that.”
“Is it really enough, though? Don’t think I didn’t notice that you showed up armed, today.”
“But sir, you’re always armed. Can you really blame me?”
Jack leaned in, his face less than a foot from her own.
“So what, you were going to shoot me if I scared ya? Nah. You wouldn’t dare,” he said, reaching out to cup her chin. He tilted her head up, exposing her neck to him. Rei didn’t resist, partially out of fear…but more so because something hot and dangerous was brewing deep in her stomach.
“No, sir. I wouldn’t shoot you. I don’t think that would be in my best interest,” she said softly.
“Good,” he said with a chuckle. Jack grabbed her by the lapels of her lab coat and pulled her out of her chair, forcing her to stand between his legs. He lowered his head to her neck and brushed his lips against her jaw, making her shiver slightly. Rei could have sworn he was inhaling her scent like some sort of animal.
“I like you, Rei. I don’t want to have to get rid of you. Don’t make me do that, ok?” he murmured in her ear.
“You like what I can do for you. You barely know me,” corrected Rei, putting a hand on his chest and trying to push gently away from his grasp, but Jack didn’t yield.
“Do you always get so hands-on with your employees, or am I just lucky?” she quipped sharply, pushing against his chest in earnest. Jack let go and sat back, leaning on his hands.
“Sorry pumpkin, did I misread the situation? I thought we had a fun little thing going. I’m attractive…you’re attractive…You seem kinda into me. Your little neck would fit so perfectly in my hand,” Jack extended a large hand towards her neck, but paused, letting it fall back onto the desk. He began to drum his fingers impatiently against the dark, polished wood, clearly displeased with being forced to practice some self control.
“But we can keep this strictly professional if you want,” he said, a hint of irritation in his voice.
“Hmm. Not sure, boss. First you don’t trust me, then you want to fuck me…I think you need to make up your mind,” Rei said, dropping her hand from Jack’s chest to his thigh. She slid her hand slowly up his leg, inching closer to the subtle bulge growing under his zipper.
“Since when are those two things mutually exclusive?” Jack purred, tucking her long, chestnut hair behind her ear to reveal a thick, silver cuff in her cartilage. He grinned and tugged gently on the loop of metal, leaning in so his face was inches from hers.
There was a sudden thunder of gunshots outside Jack’s door, followed by screams. Jack jerked back, looking around wildly, then reached for the intercom next to his computer, slamming his fist down on the call button.
“RHYS! What the goddamn hell was that?!” he growled.
“Jack, you better get out here…we’ve got a situation,” Rhys’ panicked voice crackled over the intercom.
“Wait here, kitten,” he said, standing and attempting to adjust himself to hide his growing erection. Rei took a step back to let him pass, snickering to herself.
“I promise this is going to be far less funny to you later,” Jack said menacingly, towering over her, nearly a foot taller.
“Sure. Go get ‘em tiger.”
Jack glared at her for a moment, then turned on his heel, sprinting across the enormous room and through the great metal doors. Rei waited a moment, then quietly followed, stopping at the doorframe to peer at the commotion outside. There, in the middle of the hallway, stood a burly man in a Hyperion guard uniform, an enormous machine gun in one hand and Rhys’ neck in the other.
Rei’s stomach sank; the shooter was one of her plugs, specifically Ian Lynch, who she had instructed to watch her back since discovering Jack’s intense interest in her. But what the hell had happened? Some of her distributers were thugs, sure, but they knew better than to get violent inside Hyperion headquarters.
Jack advanced on the man slowly, gun drawn, face twisted with rage.
“Don’t do anything stupid, asshole… That’s Hyperion property you’re screwing with.” he snarled.
“Hah! You’re not as ruthless as they say, Jackie boy, otherwise you would have just shot me already and let this twerp take a bullet to the head. You’re all talk, ain’t ya?” said the assailant.
Jack looked like he was seriously considering doing just that, gun aimed at the man’s head, but his finger was absent from the trigger.
Rei stepped out of the office, striding quickly down the hall.
“LYNCH. Drop him. Now,” she commanded, drawing her own gun from it’s holster.
“There you are, Barrett, you fucking weasel. I’ve been waiting for you,” he hissed.
“You know this guy? And Jesus fucking Christ kid, didn’t I say to wait in my office? You’re gonna get sh-“
“If it’s me you’re after, then what the fuck are you doing, Lynch?” asked Rei, cutting Jack off.
“I caught him eavesdropping, he was recording near your door” choked Rhys. Lynch gave him a hard shake.
“Shut up. Yeah, I was listening in on your little meeting. Sorry to interrupt just as you were about to let Handsome Jack bend you over his desk, bitch, but this little shit came along and blew my cover. Wasn’t gonna shoot anyone today, but he kinda gave me no choice. Little shit came at me with a stun baton.”
“So let him go and tell me what you fucking want already,” huffed Rei.
“I want the two of you,” he said, jerking his head toward Jack and Rei, “to stay the fuck away from Pandora. I don’t give a fuck what you do to your Hyperion lackeys- drug ‘em, torture ‘em, I don’t care- but you’re not getting anywhere near my people and you sure as hell aren’t taking over my planet. So I guess what I’m really saying is that I want you both dead.”
“A small time drug pusher with a hero complex. Cute,” said Rei smarmily. Jack stared at her, eyes wide with surprise.
“He’s one of yours?”
“Not my best and definitely not my brightest, but yeah. He seems to be forgetting that he agreed to sell some pretty dangerous shit to people on Helios just so I would get him off Pandora. Ease up on Rhys’ neck, or you’re gonna kill your only bargaining chip, Lynch,” Rei said, noticing Rhys squirming and struggling for breath as Lynch’s grip tightened in irritation.
“Alright, enough of this,” said Jack impatiently. He flipped on his cloaking device and vanished.
“STAY BACK! I’M FUCKING WARNING YOU, JACK!” Lynch shouted, looking around wildly. Rei took advantage of the distraction and hurled herself at Lynch, knocking both him and Rhys to the floor, just barely keeping her own footing by landing in a cat-like crouch. There was a sickening crack as an invisible force came smashing down on Lynch’s wrist, forcing him to release the gun. He howled in pain as Jack reappeared above him, kicking his gun across the hall. Jack aimed his own weapon at Lynch’s groin, a manic gleam in his eye.
“That’s better. Now let Rhysie go or I’ll shoot your fucking dick off.”
Lynch stared venomously at Jack for a moment, then loosened his grip on Rhys, allowing him to pull away and scramble to his feet.
“Good. Hand over that recording and I won’t torture you to death. I don’t really care if your little bandit friends know we’re coming for them, but I’m not ready to make that announcement just yet. I wanted it to be special,” Jack said with a mock pout.
“Why the fuck would I do that? Let’s be honest, Jack, you’re just going to kill me anyway,” spat Lynch, attempting to sit up on his elbows.
“You’re wrong,” said Rei, planting a boot on either side of his hips and crouching down so their faces were level. She placed the muzzle of her pistol gently between his eyes and leaned closer to whisper in his ear.
“I am going to kill you.” Rei pulled the trigger. The crack of gunfire resonated through the empty hall and a spray of crimson droplets spattered Rei’s face and lab coat. Lynch slumped back in a pool of his own blood and brain matter.
Jack stood motionless, mouth slightly agape, staring at Rei.
“That was…oh my god…so fuckin’ hot, I mean, I can’t even-“
“He’s wearing a wire. It’s still transmitting to somewhere…somewhere nearby,” interrupted Rhys.
He had pressed himself as flat as possible against a nearby wall, as if trying to make his lanky form disappear into the metal. He took a shaky step forward, gingerly rubbing a blossoming bruise around his neck.
“I picked it up with my Echo eye. Couldn’t figure out why that guy was lurking around Jack’s door, so I gave him a scan. Where are you going?” Rhys said, noticing Rei slowly backing away.
His Echo eye sparked to life and raked over her, his mouth falling open in surprise. The receiver for the wire was nestled in Rei’s pocket.
“Oh. Oh shit. You? Why?”
“WHAT DID YOU DO?” snarled Jack, stomping over to her so he could make the vast difference in their sizes all the more evident as he loomed over her. She looked up at him wearily, realizing the jig was up.
“I…gave it to him. I told him to tail you and try to get something… to blackmail you with… in case I didn’t like the terms of your deal,” she mumbled sheepishly.
“So why was he here now? Couldn’t you just record me yourself?” asked Jack in a low, dangerous hiss, his eyes narrowed to slits.
“I asked him to watch my back. Like I said before, it really wouldn’t be in my best interest to shoot you. But…Lynch could have easily done it and left Helios for a while, if need be.”
“You really are a fuckin’ weasel, you know that? Give me one good reason not to shoot you right now.”
“Jack, she just helped you save my life…” muttered Rhys.
“She’s also the one who almost got you killed.”
“Look, I’m not sorry for protecting myself, but I honestly didn’t mean for Lynch to do a damn thing at all unless- SHIT, OW!”
Rei cried out as he roughly grabbed both of her wrists with one large hand, hoisting her arms above her head, forcing her to drop her gun. He pulled her up until the steel toes of her boots barely brushed the floor and gently placed the barrel of his gun under her chin, tipping her head up to look at him, all the while crushing her wrists in his powerful grip.
“JACK! Knock it off! Come on, you need her, remember?” Rhys protested, loudly and firmly this time.
“Yeah, you need me,” Rei hissed.
Jack glared at her furiously as he gave her wrists a twist that made her whimper, then lowered her slowly.
“Congrats, sweetheart, that’s strike three. First you use my company to run your little drug ring, then you try to blackmail me, then you try to kill me? Looks like you just earned yourself an early ticket to Pandora. Normally I’d toss you in a holding cell and let you rot there until I need ya, but I don’t trust that you’ll be a good girl if I let you out of my sight. So you’re taking Rhysie’s place and coming with me to help take care of some business. So glad you’re not shy about murder. Hopefully you don’t have to kill anyone you know, but… I wouldn’t count on it,” he purred, his voice dripping with honey and poison as he gave her wrists another twist.
Rei shoved a knee into his groin, not hard enough to hurt him, but with enough force to serve as a warning. Much to her surprise, she felt him half hard inside his jeans. He was clearly enjoying menacing her. Rei pressed a little harder and his cock gave an interested twitch under her knee, sparking a twisted pang of lust in her stomach.
“You want a mountain of dead bandits? You got it boss. Nice rage boner, by the way,” she snickered. Jack released her and stepped back, adjusting himself once again to hide the bulge in his pants.
“Don’t push me, cupcake, I think it’s evident how much I want to break you right now. You’re on the next shuttle with me to Pandora, pack your shit and be at the departure terminal in two hours. Rhys, you keep an eye on her, I’ve got shit to do. Oh, and give me that,” he snarled, thrusting a large hand roughly into the pocket of her lab coat and rifling through it. He pulled out the receiver and a small joint, inspecting them both, then dropped the receiver and smashed it under the heel of his shoe.
“What’s this?” he said, waving the joint in Rei’s face.
“Just plain old weed. Take it, on the house. I can’t think of anyone who needs to chill the fuck out more than you, right now,” she said brazenly.
“So help me god, I am going to…”  Jack mimed strangling the air in front of him.
“My point exactly.”
He made an aggravated noise in the back of his throat and stomped back down the hall, leaving Rei eyeing Rhys suspiciously while he uncomfortably shifted his weight from foot to foot.
“Sorry about him. It’s really hard to calm him down when he gets like that,” Rhys said with a weary sigh.
“Nah, I would be pissed, too, if I were him. I would have kept monitoring him if I hadn’t been caught, and maybe not entirely for safety’s sake. If I have to destroy my home planet, I want to make sure I’m getting my fair share of the reward,” she said shrewdly.
“Well he shouldn’t have put his hands on you, at least. He can really do some damage if he’s not careful.”
“Yeah, I noticed,” said Rei, examining the angry red fingerprints around her wrists. “You seem to know him pretty well. What exactly are you to Jack? Personal assistant? Babysitter?”
Rhys laughed weakly. “Technically I was a middle management coder, but Jack took a special interest in me because…well, not to brag, but I’m a pretty great hacker,” he said with a hint of smugness. “So now I’m kind of…his protégé, I guess? But lately he’s been using me as an assistant because he freaking killed so many that no one wants the job anymore. He’s such a big, murderous baby sometimes.”
“Volatile psychopath is more like it.”
“Hah, yeah. You know…and don’t quote me on this because he’s pretty hard to read… but I think Jack was really disappointed about the whole blackmail thing. He seemed to really like you, kept talking about plans for his promising new “lab nerd”, and uh… something about bending you over his desk and uh…Well he was pretty excited that you weren’t a dude. And that you’re one of us,” Rhys said with a wink.
“What do you mean?”
“You know, attractive. In the 8 and up club. Grade A, Hyperion made.”
“God, you really are his protégé,” Rei said, picking up her gun and returning it to her holster.
“Hey, those are his words, not mine. You got a little something right here,” Rhys said, pointing to his cheek. Rei dragged her already bloodstained sleeve across her face, adding more crimson to it.
“Better?”
“You kinda just smeared it around…here.” Rhys wiped her cheek with the back of his hand, pausing just a moment too long before breaking contact. Rei raised an eyebrow and he blushed slightly.
“So, uh, we better get going,” he said, avoiding her gaze.
“Yep. Clearly I need a shower. Come on, Jack junior, let’s roll,” she said, taking off down the hall, Rhys hurrying after her.

Blood Lust
Pairs: Eric Northman x  Gender-Neutral Reader
Words: 3544
Summary: When your friend drags you along to the vampire bar Fangtasia you get some surprising attention.
Warnings: Sexual references but nothing direct. Mentions of biting and blood, I mean this is a True Blood fanfic.
Notes: Left completely gender-neutral. I have no problem writing smut and I actually enjoy it but in order to keep this inclusive to everyone and completely gender-neutral I skipped the smutty bits. I did already use this prompt for a Supernatural and Sherlock One-Shot, but I am wanting to challenge myself by using the same prompt with different fandoms and try to make it as unique as possible.
One-Shot based on @coffin-prompts
“Are those your pajamas?”
“Is that an insult to my style? How dare you!”
When vampires revealed themselves more than a handful of years ago you hadn’t cared all that much. Sure it made night time a bit more dangerous but most of the vampires who lived around you had been at least civil. You hadn’t officially met a vampire until a friend of yours dragged you to a vampire club called ‘Fangtasia’. You didn’t want to be there but you stayed to support your friend and make sure they made it back home safe. While sitting off to the side a few vampires approached you. You held small conversations but politely declined any advances they made. Frankly, you were pretty bored. As the night dragged on you noticed a handsome blonde man on the throne over in the back seemed to be staring at you. You ignored it and tried to focus on anything else. You watched your friend drunkenly flirt with any vampire insight. It wasn’t long before a fashionable woman walked over. She looked incredibly annoyed as she addressed you, “I’m not sure if you are just blind or plain stupid but when someone like him...” She dramatically motions to the man sitting at the throne before continuing. “Is staring at you. That means to go over to him.” You look to the man on the throne who is still staring. He gave off an extremely intimidating vibe. So was the woman talking to you. When you didn’t stand up immediately the woman grew impatient. She crosses her arms, “Don’t make me drag you over there... It would be very embarrassing for you but more importantly...” She turns her attention down to her hands, admiring her nails. “It would really piss me off to ruin them and nobody wants that.” You swallow hard and nod, “Of course.” You look over to check on your friend one last time before standing up. The woman escorts you to the man sitting on the throne. 
Gazes seem to fall onto you as you get closer. There was an informal line of people was near the throne that you didn’t notice until now. They seemed jealous which added to the nervousness you were feeling. The woman stops, crossing her arms again. “Eric, I brought your current little infatuation like you told me to. May I leave now?” Her tone is filled with pure annoyance. Eric nods, leaning forward to look at you, “Thank you, Pamela.” Pam growled in response causing Eric to smirk. The way he said her name implied he said her extended name just to annoy her. Pam walked off before anything else was said. Eric leans back in his seat, relaxing but still watching you intently. “You don’t seem to be enjoying my club. Is something not to your liking?” Worried you had offended him you blurt out a quick answer, “No!” You blush and calm yourself down before recollecting yourself. You chuckle nervously, shifting under his gaze. “It’s just I’ve never been one for bars or clubs in general.” You seem to have piqued his interest. Eric questions you, “So then why come here?” You look over to check on your friend again as you answer, “Moral support mostly.” You let your sentence trail off a bit. Eric comments, “That’s no excuse for you to not have a little fun.” Your attention is brought back to Eric when he asks another question, “How about I show you a good time?” When you look back to Eric he is smirking again with a suggestive look in his eyes. You blush and think about your options. Eric was really attractive and while it didn’t seem like the best idea something in your gut told you to say yes. You look up at Eric, “S...Sure, why not.” Even as you nod you still feel a bit nervous. Eric grins and motions for you to come closer to him. You take small steps forward. As soon as you get close enough in a blurred motion Eric picks you up and sits you on his lap. You can’t help but gasp from the sudden motion. Your left sitting mostly sideways on Eric’s lap so you can still see each other’s faces. Eric chuckles keeping a loose grip around your waist. Your cheeks burn as you make a joke, trying to calm your nerves. “Is this the part where you say ‘we will talk about the next thing that pops up’?” You look everywhere else but at him. Eric relaxes, “I could be that forward if you would like.” Eric pauses. He ever so slowly rubs your side as he continues. “But I was planning something more along the lines of sharing a drink and going from there.” You feel your nerves easing a bit as you chuckle, “I like your plan better.” Eric uses his free hand to trace a finger over your neck. Eric speaks softly into your ear, “Would you mind if I start drinking first? I’m starving.” Your body’s automatic response was to stiffen up. As you thought about it the idea didn’t actually frighten you. You steeled yourself before speaking, “Sure.” Eric grins and stands you up, "Perfect. Let's take this to the back then." Eric leads you back into what looks like an office. Once the door is closed behind you Eric turns around and faces you. He pushes you up against the door. You see Eric open his mouth and his fangs popped out. As he gets closer to your neck you close your eyes and flinch in anticipation. However, when the bite happens it is easy to relax. It only hurt at first. After that, it started feeling good.
That was the beginning. That night started an interesting relationship between you and Eric. He invited you back to Fangtasia the following night and you agreed. With that, you came back to Fangtasia almost every night for the next few months. Getting involved with Eric definitely helped you understand why fangbangers chased after vampires. You didn't plan on going to that extreme but you couldn't deny the unique feeling you got around him. Plus the sex was beyond amazing. Biting and drinking became normal. Easily slipping into the sexual part of your relationship. Eric's favorite spot to drink from was your inner thigh. Eric had a thing for leaving bite marks on your neck though. Seemed like his way of claiming you. A lot of your relationship together was sexual but not all of it. You both shared conversations together and Eric even took you on a few outings. You learned more about vampires and their history but only vague details. Plus you learned a bit more about Eric himself. Finding out Eric was over 1000 years old was a bit of a shock and made you further question his interest in you. Eric was hard to read so you weren’t sure exactly how he felt about you. You never pressed the issue, assuming Eric saw this as a fling. You were having fun and wanted to keep having a good time. 
So here you were repeating your new nightly routine. When it started to get dark you made your way to Fangtasia. Stepping through the door Pam addressed you without looking up. "Eric's little plaything, right on time." You close the door behind you. Walking further into the club as you speak, “And hello to you as well Pam.” Pam seemed to have warmed up to you a bit, not that it showed much. She tolerated you which seemed to be a feat in and of itself. You made your way back to the office. Knocking on the door you waited for a few moments before just opening it and walking it. Eric sits at his desk, smirking as he looks up at you. “It’s customary to wait for a response before entering.” You walk towards him, closing the door behind you. You humming slightly as you respond, “Maybe but I know you would have actually responded if you were busy.” You sit on the edge of his desk smiling down at him. Eric grins and in a blur, he is standing in front of you. You tilt your head, opening up your neck for him. He grabs your hips, pressing himself into you. Eric moves into your neck. He takes in your scent as he teasingly bites at your skin without fangs. A shiver runs through your body causing you to close your eyes and grip onto the edge of the desk. Eric chuckles at your reaction right before giving in and actually biting you. A moan escapes your lips when he starts drinking. Your hand finds its way to the hem of Eric’s pants. He emits a growl, tightening his hold on your sides. You laugh and start to undo his pants. Right as you get his zipper down there is a knock on the door. Eric releases his mouth from you. He hisses loudly as he responds, “What is so important?” You feel blood running from the bite, already starting to stain your shirt. You pull the fabric from the collar of your shirt to press it against your neck to help slow the bleeding. You hear Pam’s voice from the other side of the door. Pam spoke, “The Authority has stopped by for a little surprise visit.” Normally she didn’t bother Eric when he was with you so this was odd, to begin with. What made it worse was Pam not only sounded more annoyed than normal but she almost sounded worried. You felt Eric’s body stiffen when he hears what Pam said. You also could have sworn you saw Eric’s eyes widen at the news as well. You feel a nervous feeling creep over your body. There is a pause and then silence for a few moments. Suddenly Eric starts moving in a blur to straighten himself out. You stay put not completely sure what to do. When Eric stops long enough that you can see him he looks at you. He focuses on your neck as he speaks, “We need to get that healed up.” Eric bites into his own wrist and offers it to you. You furrow your brow and just stare at him. You had never drunk any kind of blood, making you warry. You open your mouth to speak but stop when Eric finally looks at your face. He addresses your confusion, “It will be fine.” You hesitate a bit but listen to him. You drink some blood from his wrist. The metallic taste was expected but there was a weird feeling it gave you. When you feel healed you pull away, and wipe off your mouth. Eric watched you for a few moments before opening the office door without saying another word to you. Pam was still waiting right outside the door he stopped. Eric says something to Pam in a different language before he left out of sight. Pam walked over to you, “Come on now, stay quiet and follow me.” She grabs your wrist and practically pulls you off the desk. Pam leads you down the hall, away from the main part of the club. She points at a door, marked for the dancers. “Go out the back.” She crosses her arms and stares at you. You whisper as you speak, “What’s going on?” Pam ignores your question and motions to the door again, “Out the door and go home. Don’t talk to anyone you see outside the bar.” You wanted to hold your ground and ask more questions but you knew Pam would physically remove you if she had to. So you opt to leave willingly. You walk through the dancers’ room and out of the exit.
Walking back to your car you rubbed your neck where the bite had been. Eric had never cared about leaving marks before. With how suddenly you were kicked out you couldn’t help but feel insulted. You didn’t think Eric was going to keep you around forever. You figured he would have said something instead of just throwing you out. As you got into your car you noticed a limo parked in front of Fangtasia’s entrance. You start your car and drive home. About halfway home you start to notice some weird things. All your senses seemed to be improving. By the time you got home, it was extremely noticeable. When you opened your front door you felt the doorknob loosen almost as if you broke it. You could smell the lingering scent of alcohol from the bar. The scent of the blood on your clothes was overwhelming like it was fresh. All the lights in your house seemed much brighter. Chalking it up to a migraine from the stress, you decided to just shower before laying down. Sleeping gave you some relief but you started to have sexual dreams about Eric. Normally this wouldn’t have been that bad but even in the dream you still felt lingering annoyance. You were startled awake by the sound of knocking. It sounded like it could be coming from your bedroom door. Since no one else lived with you no one should be in your house. You could feel your heart pounding as you grabbed the heaviest object in your room. Which happened to be a table lamp. You hold the lamp up high above your head and yanked your bedroom door open. When you see no one there you move slowly through your house until you reach the front door. You hear another knock so you look through the peephole. You see Eric on the other side. Rolling your eyes you open the door, “Sorry fast food is closed.”
Eric’s expression turns the slightest bit sheepish. He speaks, “Now now… don’t be like that.” Eric tries to step inside but it seems like he physically can't, causing him to hiss. You watch him, “Be like what? Pissed about being tossed out?” Eric looked different then you had ever seen him before. You’d never really seen Eric outside of the club other than the few time he had taken you out elsewhere. As a matter of fact, he had never been to your house before. You narrowed your eyes at him, “How did you find me?” Eric smirks, proud of himself “My blood. When you drank it a bond was formed between us. I can track you and sense your emotions.” That riled you up, “You did that so you could track me?” Eric’s attitude changes quickly. He looks you in the eyes as he speaks, “I did not give you my blood lightly.” Startled by the sudden serious tone you step back and your body stiffens. Just as quickly Eric’s demeanor changes back to a more relaxed one. Eric watches you as he adds, “I will gladly explain everything if you would kindly invite me in.” He motions to the doorway. You step back opening the door wider. For a moment you contemplate not inviting him in. Seeing Eric in a more vulnerable state than normal makes up your mind. You stand aside, “You officially are invited into my house.” Eric finally steps through your front door looking relieved. He curiously looks around at your home, “It’s every… humble.” You scoff, leaning against the wall in your living room. “I’ll get right to redecorating after you explain what happened.” Eric sits down in one of the chairs in your living room, making himself at home. Eric starts explaining, “The Vampire Authority is the ruling body over vampires. States have a king or queen but The Authority appoints sheriffs to rule over smaller areas in the state. I am one such sheriff.” You nod to show that you are listening. You decide to make a snarky comment, “So you are basically The Authorities bitch?” Eric chuckles, “I play the part when they are around.” You laugh to yourself while shaking your head, “What ‘part’ were you playing when you ditched me?” In a blur Eric is right in front of you, pushing your back into the wall. He looks into your eyes, “Your protector.” You do your best to show no expression while still holding eye contact with him. You know he can hear your heart rate and now since you drank his blood he knows how your feeling anyway. But you use all your willpower to stay as calm as possible with him this close. Eric chooses to continue, “The Authority doesn’t much care for humans or myself. So being my human put you in a dangerous position that I got you out of.” Eric studies you for a few more seconds. He smirks and adds, “Your welcome.” You found it hard to stay mad at him. You roll your eyes and Eric grabs your side. It sends a shiver through your body. Unable to hide your body’s reaction you try to mask it with sarcasm. “Yes, yes. Thank you so much for putting me in the situation you had to save me from.” Eric tightens his hold on you. You avoid looking into his eyes scoffing as you add, “Your human?” Eric grabs your chin with his free hand making you look at him. He speaks firmly even with a smirk on his face, “I normally wouldn’t tolerate such obstinance from a human.” You feel your annoyance dissipating and you give in, letting your body relax. You wrap your arms around his neck. You give him a teasing grin, “It’s almost like you care for me or something.” Eric plants his mouth onto yours, kissing you. You moan and kiss him back, letting him lift you up against the wall. You wrap your legs around him. Instinctually you grind against him. Eric stops kissing you causing you to whine. Eric hisses and gets ready to bite you. You unwrap your legs from around him and plant them on the ground again. Eric growls, grabbing your ass to lift you back up. You chuckle, “You’re a sloppy eater. Let’s go into the shower.” Eric’s lips brush again your neck as he speaks, “I like you messy.” Eric goes back in to bite you but to stop him you tug his hair. He growls in response. You sigh, “I know you like it messy and I don’t mind either. I don't want to stain my god damn carpet.” Eric huffs in annoyance rolling his eyes. The next thing you know he has you pushed against your shower wall. Eric glares at you, “Better?.” You give him a hurried nod before kissing him deeply.
~~
While drying off after the shower you take a few vitamins. You hear the water in the shower turn off. Signaling that Eric was finished actually showering. You pull on your pajamas, looking at the time. As you dig in your closet for blankets, you talk to Eric. “You are free to stay for the day. I'm sure there are some clothes you can use to sleep in.” You pull an armful of blankets down. Turning to leave the closet you whisper “Not that you’ll actually stay.” Eric appears right in front of you, startling you. You cant see most of him do to the stack of cloth in your arms. Eric gives you a curious look, “And why wouldn’t I stay?” Pushing passed him you chuckle, “Vampires are very private about their sleeping area or so I am told. Considering I have never seen your sleeping chamber.” You go to your bedroom and start putting blankets up over the windows. Eric leans against your doorframe, “Is there a reason I shouldn’t trust you?” You double layer the blankets over the windows to be safe, making sure no light could get through. You cover the last window up as you talk, “I don’t believe so but it’s really up to what you think now isn’t it?” Eric chuckles, “No need to hide behind sarcasm. I can feel how badly you want me to stay. Plus you're going through all this trouble.” You laugh and shake your head, “If this is how you’re going to act then maybe I don’t.” You turn around to look at Eric, only to find him completely naked. Baffled you chuckle, “Are those your pajamas?” Eric grins, “Is that an insult to my style?” Eric slowly walks over to you. Eric speaks with mock offense in his voice, “How dare you!” You laugh harder this time, “Maybe nudity was fashionable for vikings back in the day. But nowadays we usually wear clothes to bed.” Eric gives you a predatory look, “I know for a fact you like seeing me naked.” You let him back up against your bed, “I suppose if your into that kind of thing.” Eric growls, “Clearly being nice to you has gone straight to your head.” In a split second, Eric is on top of you pinning you to the bed. You bite your lip to keep yourself smiling as you look up at him. Eric tilts your head to the side. He deeply inhales your scent. Eric slowly grinds against you as he continues, “Since you did prepare this place. I can stay as long as I need to put you back in your place.” You grind back against him, “Good luck with that.”

Eyeliner (Dean-Charles Chapman x reader)
Tumblr media
thank you to my dear love @chokopieeater​ for the moodboard. god bless your soul, you are everything to me.
(PART TWO)
requested: yes/no (If y'all want a part 2 lemme know because I wouldn't be opposed... maybe smutty...?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: band member!Dean-Charles Chapman x reader
warnings: stUpId DiaLogUE
word count: 1,943
a/n: This brought me back to my Queen fandom days :)))) (also we can all agree that the boy isn't coordinated enough to play guitar, right?)
You slouched against the bar counter, stirring your drink and wondering why the hell you had gotten talked into attending this shindig as your friend circulated around the room, greeting people she knew from class and so on.
"Come on! It'll be fun!" Your friend smiled across the booth from you, her eyes dancing with excitement when she found out a local band was playing and she could get the two of you in.
"Yeah, what are they called again?" You asked, rather uninterested and debated making up some homework assignments to use as an excuse. She rifled through her bag rather violently, seemingly looking for the event flier one of the band members had probably slipped her in class. She was an undeclared groupie of the boys, swearing that one day they would blow up and you'd be sorry for not following them from the beginning.
"Something that starts with Revolting, I think..." she huffed, continuing to look for the crumpled green paper.
"I don't know why you're so obsessed. They're just trying to be Blink-182-"
Her head shot up, glaring at you. "Don't belittle their music. They are artists."
So there you were, head already clouded with the cigarette smoke hanging in the air and the residual smell of frat boy sweat. You sighed, thinking of the ungodly hour you had to be up the next morning and how much you would have rather been bundled up in bed watching Happy Days reruns right about now. The bartender gave you a small smile, topping off the drink you had barely touched and you gave him a nod in acceptance. You didn't look up when you heard the noise of amps being plugged in and guitars plucked, instead downing what you had in your hand and feeling your headache worsen by the minute. Someone came over the mic, introducing the band. The cockney accent sounded vaguely familiar to you, causing you to look up and lock eyes with the lead singer. You weren't sure where you met him before, maybe you just knew him from your friend's obsession.
You stood, walking over to lean against one of the beams holding up the ratty ceiling and crossing your arms as the singer smiled at you slightly, his pick tucked between his smile. How he so focused on you in a room full of crowded people puzzled you. Maybe he wasn't actually looking at you, the lights had to have been too bright. You watched his fingers swiftly moving from chord to chord, head bobbing slightly with an easy smile on his face. He was definitely in his element and you couldn't help but feel a sense of attraction to his confidence. You moved to another section of the crowd, performing an experiment of your own. His bright eyes were brought away from his instrument as he began to sing, his sight gliding over the audience before finally settling on you again, his smile brightening. You slyly looked over your shoulder to see if he could possibly be looking at another girl around you, fighting a small blush to creep onto your face as it almost felt like he was singing the unrecognizable garage band song to you.
Their set consisted of flirty glances and smirks sandwiched between the bass player fumbling around and adding solos that seemed like none of the band members were expecting, yet took in stride. It didn't seem like any of them were actually serious about playing. You caught sight of your friend, screaming her head off and jumping up and down with a few other girls that were probably just as into the band as she was. At one point one of the girls took the cigarette the lead singer was sporting and nearly screamed as they took a puff of their own. He just shook his head and chuckled at their actions. As the band made their closing remarks, you moved over to the bar, deciding that a water wasn't a bad idea for your trip home. Your friend was at your side almost instantly, peppering you with questions about what you thought of the show and what your favorite song had been. "God, isn't Dean so sexy?" she gushed, leaning her back against the bar next to your stool.
You furrowed your brows, deciding to humor her despite the fact that you had no idea which one he was. "The sexiest."
"I think we should go next time. I'm pretty sure there's a show on Thursday." You tilted your head at her words, furrowing your brows with a slight smile, but her eyes were glued to something else. The lead singer was moving through the lingering crowd of girls and---who you were assuming to be---friends of the band. He took a few pictures with people and signed a few body parts, his eyes continuously darting towards you and your friend. You rolled your own, turning back to face the bar and tipping the bartender, a man that you had grown to trust throughout the length of the night as he kept your glass filled and didn't ask for more money. "He's coming this way..." she whispered beside you, seemingly shrinking in size. You nodded, less than amused as you heard her titter slightly.
"Hey, thanks for coming out," the accent was suddenly behind you and you turned, looking at your friend taking his extended hand before she asked to get a picture and shoved her phone at you. You sighed, telling the two to smile as she hugged him tightly to her side and he obliged, lightly laughing at her actions.
"You guys sounded great tonight. I don't know if you remember me, but we have English together-" His eyebrows raised at your friend's comment, nodding his head and continuing in conversation after he finally remembered her name. You looked between them before your eyes flashed over to the crowd of girls slightly glaring at the two before you. It was quickly becoming clear to you just how popular this boy was. He leaned forward to whisper something into your friend's ear and her face lit up as he slipped her a piece of paper. You rolled your eyes as she almost bolted to the stage area, straight up to the drummer.
He leaned against the bar counter where she had previously stood and you damn near gathered your belongings to head out, but then remembered your friend. "So, is this your first show?" He asked. Despite the fact that you were sitting on a stool, he was still taller than you were, not in an intimidating way, but you made note of that fact. You also couldn't help but notice just how blue his eyes were when he was this close. For being in a grungy band like he was, you were surprised at just how pretty he actually was.
"Yeah, I came for moral support," you joked.
He grinned sarcastically. "That's so sweet of you." He put his hand over his heart and chuckled.
You couldn't help but smile. "Anything to back the cause," you quipped. "What did you tell her?" You asked, gesturing to your friend engaging in light conversation with the drummer; her smile a mile wide.
The boy next to you chuckled, looking at them too. "He wanted to talk to her. Thought she was cute, you know?" You gave him a look suggesting he was full of shit. "Okay, and I wanted the opportunity to talk to you."
You bit your lip. "And recruit me to be a groupie?" You fought not to laugh as he blushed slightly, the tips of his ears also turning a shade of pink.
"The captain position is open if you're interested?" He jeered, making you scoff.
"Tempting." Your friend rejoined your side with a huge grin on her face and bouncing with excitement. Your eyebrows raised in her direction as a smug expression made its way onto your face. You and the singer watched her compose herself. You heard him giggle quietly at her joy. "So?" You began, pretending the suspense was killing you.
She took a deep breath. "He asked me for my number."
You gasped. "That's great! Are we leaving now?"
"Rude," the boy beside you mumbled and you elbowed him, making him almost snicker. Your friend, still firmly on cloud nine, nodded at you, hugging her purse close to her chest. She thanked the boy and practically danced out of the bar and into the cab you had called. You turned back momentarily and met eyes with the boy again and he waved at you, a stupid grin sent your way to keep with you until you saw him again.
Little did you know, you wouldn't have to wait for long. The next day seemed to bring him right to your doorstep as you exited the building of your first class of the day and almost rammed into him. You tore out your headphones out of your ear and tilted your head at him. He grinned brightly. "Sorry," he muttered. In all honesty, you hadn't even recognized him in the daylight. You rocked back on your heel, relaxing slightly.
"Stalker," you jeered, starting to walk on your previous path. He turned to walk with you. "How'd you find me?"
He clicked his tongue, smiling at his shoes as he walked. "Your dear friend loves talking about you in class, and is incredibly nonchalant about dropping hints," he bit his lip slightly. "I figured I would pop by and see if you wanted company?"
"Yeah so, not stalkery at all," you stated sarcastically, making him chuckle. He looped his thumbs in the straps of his backpack.
"It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you," he coyly stated, slightly cringing at his words.
You pursed your lips to fit the urging smirk from breaking your exterior. "I bless the rains down in Africa..." you finished, causing you to break the tension in the air. He fully let out a laugh, a sound sweet and light enough that you couldn't help but grin at. It still shocked you just how soft he was, a complete hypocrisy to his appearance on stage. Despite it being a surprise, you liked it. "You look different without all the eyeliner," you quipped.
He inhaled sharply, as if nervous for your answer to his next question, his evident confidence becoming a facade before your eyes. "Good different or bad different?"
You shrugged slightly. "I like both, really. So good different, I guess," you answered and you could have sworn you saw the kid beam as you bumped his shoulder.
"Thanks, it's my mom's," he joked, making you smile again and shake your head. "I'm Dean, by the way." He stuck his hand towards you and you shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dean." The two of you got to your next building. You were slightly later than you wanted to be but as you took a few of the stairs towards the door and looked back at the boy in the dark hoodie, you knew it was worth it.
He smiled up at you and then his brows furrowed, a hand reaching up to scratch the back of his neck---one of the first blatant signs of just how nervous you made him. "Before you go," he seemed to fumble for the right words, "are you busy tonight?" His blue eyes darted up to yours and you chuckled, your heart exploding with excitement you hadn't felt since you got an A on your calculus midterm.
You leaned against one of the railings. "Depends what you're doing. You can pick me up at seven if you're not busy."
His smile made your heart flutter as his face went from a taken aback manner to one of pure joy. "I'll clear my schedule."

Your feet in the water was the only sound being made in the quiet night. The rest of the team had already turned in, but you decided to hang back for a few moments of peace and quiet.
Earlier in the day Garcia had invited the whole team over to hang out in her new hot tub. It had been a rare few days where the BAU hadn’t had a case and she thought it was a good idea for everyone to relax while we could.
Originally it was just going to be a girls night, you, Tara, JJ, Emily and Penelope hanging out in the hot tub—champagne and girl talk included. Somehow it ended up with the entire team coming over to hang out after Spencer had stopped by to return a book he’d borrowed. If only he’d known the hard time the girls had been giving you just moments before.
You were the newest member to the team, a temporary one at that, at least for now. There’d been talk about making you their permanent press liaison. Besides being the newest to them team, you were also the new youngest; Spencer being the youngest of the team for 15 years the other members were having a blast teasing the new “baby of the BAU”. You were 31 to Spencer’s 38 and apparently that was more than enough excuse for the others—mainly the girls—to try and set you two up.
“Oh come on, Spence is great!” JJ beamed.
“He really is [Y/N],” Emily piped in.
“Come on, you’re hot, he’s got eyes, I mean even he can’t miss that!” Penelope grinned so big, she was on the precipice of looking like a Cheshire Cat.
“Guys, calm down,” you chuckle, “I know he’s great and brilliant. I get along with him well y'all know that.”
“I think he likes southern accents too,” Tara smirked, laughing as she clinked her glass with Penelope’s as the latter nodded vigorously.
“He does. I asked him the other day.”
“Subtle, Penelope, subtle,” you mumble.
“Well technically his exact words were that they’re fine and then he launched into some facts about accents that I couldn’t even remember if I tried.”
“Okay enough, this night isn’t about me,” I smiled, “I want updates on all of your lives.”
The conversation from earlier played through your head and you smiled to yourself. The one thing the ladies didn’t know was the...thing that was happening between you and Spencer. You didn’t know how to explain it exactly. Your banter always seemed friendly with an edge of flirting, but it always left your entire body tingling as if you’d just been shocked by an electrical outlet. You thought it was just in your head, the connection you felt, the chemistry. It was no secret to yourself that you were attracted to the good doctor.
“What are you still doing up?”
You yelped, almost losing your balance and falling straight into the hot tub. The chuckle that followed was instantly recognizable.
“Jeez warn a person before sneaking up on them!” You grin, resteading yourself on the edge.
“Didn’t mean to scare you,” Spencer chuckled, sitting down next to you.
“I thought you’d be in bed like everyone else,” you nodded towards the house where the others were crashing for the night, the invitation from Penelope extending to anyone who wanted to stay.
“Couldn’t sleep.” His eyes slid to you before continuing, “Saw the light still on out here and figured I’d check on you.”
Your breath caught, more memories from earlier flitting across your brain. Was he still awake for the same reason you were?
Loud laughter filled the air. Different conversations filled your ears as several team members were having separate conversations with one another. You were busy listening to a story Penelope was telling, JJ seated next to her and across from them sat you and Spencer. You had ironically became like their fourth musketeer since joining the BAU.
“So I’m getting Sergio out of the car at the vet-” Penelope is saying.
You’re trying to hide a grin as you take a sip of champagne—only your second glass, you know how to nurse your drink well—when you feel something brush your thigh. You ignore it, thinking you’ve imagined it as you continue listening to your friend’s story, certain there’s going to be a hilarious ending to this. A couple of minutes pass before you feel the same sensation again only with more pressure. You almost lose grip of your glass as your mind finally registers the feeling—a hand sliding up your thigh.
Your eyes flick to your left at Spencer whose gaze is still on Penelope, listening to her story. It happens quickly but his gaze meets yours, an eyebrow slightly raised as if seeking permission. Your head moves the tiniest bit, an imperceptible nod, but he sees it.
“You’re telling me Sergio managed to get out of his carrier in the middle of the vet’s waiting room and terrorize a nearby bunny?” Spencer laughed.
“He wasn’t terrorizing it!” Penelope exclaimed, “He was trying to be friends! He kept staring at the bunny through the bunny’s carrier. He’s an old man and not a mean one at that.”
Your breath hitched as you felt his touch graze across the thin fabric of your bikini bottom. There was no way this was the same Dr. Reid that was so good at geographic profiling and cracking even the hardest of codes. You found your comprehension of the ongoing conversation starting to cut in and out as the fabric was pulled to the side and his fingers made contact with your bare skin.
“You had to be there I swear-”
“What would you have done if-”
“The vet was cackling when I told him the story and he said-”
You took a gulp of your fizzing drink as his fingertips brushed your clit, your need pulsating twice as much as it was just moments before. It took a great amount of control to keep your jaw from dropping when you felt one of his fingers slip inside you. It had been a while since you’d had any sort of sexual relations with anyone, probably too long by the way you were already shifting, wanting, needing to feel more. One became two and you couldn’t tell if your head was spinning because of the alcohol or because of what Spencer was secretly doing to you underneath the cover of the rumbling water. Most likely the latter. At the back of your mind the thought briefly formed that the feeling between you both was definitely mutual, but you honestly couldn’t spare it much thought currently.
His fingers were moving slowly, torturing you and your teeth came down on your bottom lip. You wanted—no you needed more. One hand left the glass you were holding and went into the water. You silently prayed no one around could notice what’s happening as your hand reached his, trying to push it harder against you. You pretended you were only trying to reposition yourself on the hot tub seat accidentally making you shift closer to him, his fingers moving deeper within you as a result. It was an extreme effort to keep from crying out like you came close to doing.
“You okay?” JJ asked frowning, “Too much champagne?”
“W-What?” you squeaked. You literally squeaked. For God’s sake you wanted to kill Spencer at the moment.
“You looked like you were in pain. For some reason a few months before I got pregnant with Henry, champagne would occasionally give me a stomachache.”
“Oh no, I’m fine.” I answered quickly, “Just got a little sore from sitting in one position for too long.”
She flashed you an understanding smile before merging back into the conversation Penelope and Spencer were having. How the hell was he so calm? You were practically sweating bullets.
His thumb moved in circles against your bundle of nerves. A moan just barely dies in your throat, but it came too close to escaping your mouth. There's pressure building in the pit of your stomach and you can feel your breathing become labored.
Your hand tugs at wrist trying somehow to alert him that you’re quickly coming undone. You’re not sure if you want him to quit or keep going at this rate. You’re almost afraid of what you’ll do if you end up orgasming in front of your friends. Your cheeks heat at the thought and thank the stars that the falling darkness is probably disguising most of this. Before you could say or do anything, his touch is gone completely, leaving you breathless and craving his touch once again.
“Guys, look!” Penelope gasped.
You looked up at the fully darkened night sky as a shooting star went by. You wondered if it was too much to wish that the events that occurred only moments ago, would happen again.
Spencer didn’t acknowledge you for the rest of the night.
Until now.
“I’m amazed. Especially after how calm and controlled you were earlier when you were ignoring me,” you mumbled.
His smirk faded from his lips, his hand coming to rest right next to yours on the edge. It was amazing how much larger his hand was compared to your tiny one.
“I only did that because I was afraid what I might do to you. Even if it was in front of everyone.”
You swore you could feel the blush from your head to your toes.
“So…” he continued, noticing your silence, “That was okay to do right?”
“Yeah, well yes, I mean yeah it was okay.” You inwardly groaned at your nervous stuttering.
“I’m just kind of shocked. Like I didn’t expect that. Where did that come from?” You half chuckled, half exhaled, trying to get a hold of your nerves.
“[Y/N].” His voice was soft, but serious.
You looked up at him, finally looking him in the eye for the first time since he’d joined you.
“I almost died last week.”
You winced thinking back to the last case you all had worked. In a shootout with an unsub, a bullet came close to ending his life. He wasn’t actually hit, but if that bullet had been flying at a slightly different angle it would’ve hit his femoral artery. Even though he was physically fine, the thought seemed to freak him out for days. Sure he’d been shot before, but there was nothing scarier than the knowledge he could’ve died.
You opened your mouth to comfort him, ask him if needed anything, but he interrupted you.
“I’m okay, don’t worry. It just got me thinking. I didn’t want to waste anymore time not letting you know how I actually feel about you.”
As cliche as it was, you were sure you felt your heart skip a beat.
“So I decided to take a chance,” he shrugged, finishing his explanation, his hand moving to rest on your cheek.
His lips were on yours before you could respond and God, did it feel so good to finally kiss him. Maybe it was because of the pent up frustration all your banter brought both of you, but your kisses quickly went from gentle, first kiss territory to more heated. Hands roamed and tongues interlocked before you gently bit his bottom lip eliciting a moan from him, the sound giving you goosebumps. It was so unusual to see him in a state like this, but you weren’t complaining in the slightest.
Your fingers were fumbling with the buttons on his shirt when he kissed a particular sensitive spot just where your jawline and neck met. You’d never had any particular favorite spots before, but it seemed like adding him into the equation made it possible. He sucked lightly before flicking his tongue over it surely leaving a mark, but the action caused you to falter, momentarily forgetting what you were doing.
You could feel him grin into your neck as his hands slid up your back towards the tie of your bikini top. That action snapped you back to reality and you finally got his shirt off between kisses. Your hands moved down his bare chest to his stomach wishing you had the time to cover him in kisses and bruises. But you had other things on your mind at the moment.
Your fingertips reached the top of the trunks he was still wearing and you could feel his breath hitch. It was time for him to get a taste of his own medicine. He pulled away from the kiss as your hand gripped him, his breathing shallow, his jaw slackened. Your lips moved across his jaw innocently as you twisted your wrist tauntingly.
“[Y/N] I’m sure you want payback for earlier,” he croaked, his grip on your hips tightening, “But if you keep that up, I'm gonna be done for right now.”
“Well that’s no good,” you pulled away teasingly, sliding yourself back into the hot tub, “Because I want you to cum inside of me.”
You bit your bottom lip as you untied the last knot of your top and throwing it halfway across the tub. You watch him gulp and join you in the warm water, settling on the bench seat you both shared earlier. A part of you couldn’t believe you were being so brazen, with Spencer of all people. He had a way of making you extremely nervous, but at this moment you couldn’t care at all.
He reached out for you, his hands pulling you to him. You straddled his lap, feeling his arousal brush against your core causing you to whimper before you could realize it. His hands massaged your breasts as your lips locked once again with his. You arched into his touch, moaning into his mouth when his thumbs ran over your already hardened nipples. Every little touch of his felt like an electrical shock throughout your entire body, he was driving you wild.
Your hands were tangled in his curls as you kissed, before you pulled back to whisper, “I’m protected, it’s okay.”
He nodded, already knowing somehow in the time you’d known him from differing conversations that you’d been on birth control since you were a teenager for issues other than for not getting pregnant.
You helped him get the shorts just enough out of the way before he roughly pulled your swim bottoms to the side, his fingers once again sliding over you before lowering you down on him.
You thought you were gonna lose it just feeling him inside you, stretching your walls in such a delicious way.
“Holy shit, Spence,” you moaned, your hips moving slowly, almost as if afraid to lose this feeling.
He hummed, his lips on your chest, hands gripping your sides. Your hands wound into the hair at the back of his neck as your hips rocked together, moans and pants filling the air. Your head was tilted back, eyes closed when he brought your face towards his again, kissing you desperately, tugging on your bottom lip and grunting as your body repeatedly rose and fell against his.
He was watching you intently, knowing him he would remember and relive every second of this with no problem knowing that mind of his. He licked his lips, his chest rising and falling rapidly, curses falling off his beautiful lips.
“Fuck,” he breathed, “I want you to moan my name.”
You bit your lip harder when you shifted the slightest, the new angle making your pleasure intensify that much more. In addition to his words, you were coming undone faster than you expected to.
“I want you to moan my name in that southern accent of yours,” he grunted, eyes never leaving yours.
The knot in your stomach was about to give and he could tell. His hips thrust upward into you wanting to send you into a glorious abyss.
“Oh god. Spencer.”
His name was rugged, breathless and drug out from your lips as you fell over the edge. It felt like lightning shot through your veins, your hands gripping his shoulders so hard you were sure you were gonna leave bruises on the poor guy.
His release soon followed, his face twisted in ecstasy, lips slightly parted as his head fell back against the side in time with the low groan that left his throat.
It took a moment for you both to still, your breathing hard while you chuckled, looking at him still leaning back against the edge.
“You okay?”
“Just stargazing,” he laughs, “Although you might have killed me.”
You grinned shoving his shoulder lightly, repositioning yourself so you were next to him and clothed once again.
“Did you know that-”
“Spencer I swear if you’re about to give me some statistic on sexual relations, I’m leaving,” you laugh.
“I wasn’t!” he laughed, “I was going to say, did you know that the first constellation ever described was in a poem written in 270 B.C. by the Greek poet Aratus.”
“Really?” You asked, laying back to look at the stars with him. You listened intently as he continued with his lessons in astrology.
In the morning, the rest of the team found you both in the kitchen, still in swimwear from the night before. There were surprisingly no comments but there were several suspicious looks, that is until Luke walked in.
“What were you guys doing in the hot tub for so long last night? I got up for water in the middle of the night and saw the light still on out there.”
“Oh nothing,” Spencer replied from his spot where he was pouring orange juice at the counter, “Just a little astronomy lesson. I was teaching Y/N how to see stars.”
He winked at you, just as Penelope walked in, noticing the whole exchange.
And as usual for the BAU’s Tech Analyst to never miss a thing she groaned.
“Oh God, I’m gonna have to burn that hot tub now!”

Fic Rec - Reflections on the “open up my eager eyes” series
by @haloud
This is going to be a mix between fic review but mainly personal reflections on the stories. I promise no coherence or consistency whatsoever. Think incoherent ravings of a mad woman. It’s basically going to be raving about how much I love this series of stories. There will be sort-of spoilers. As always, read the tags and notes on the fics people.
Tumblr media
Part 1 - tuck my hair behind my ears and touch my soul - Alex/Kyle, Michael - Kyle POV
This story kicks off my favourite Roswell, New Mexico fic series. It hooked me from the opening line, which is one of the best ever in the fandom, setting the scene perfectly - "It starts at the Wild Pony, that breeding ground for bad ideas."
This story is told from Kyle's POV and introduces us to an Alex and Michael who have found their balance, with themselves and with each other in a relationship with some dom/sub dynamics. It's a relationship that they invite Kyle into, initially for the night. While there's play with power dynamics and some angsty bits, the overall feel of this fic is intense but light? 
It's about everyone getting what they need, and in Kyle's case finding out what that need actually is. The characters are so spot on, an easy to believe extension of the characters we've seen on screen and come to love. 
Even when things get sexy and filthy and intense, there is still an underlying tenderness between the three of them that I just love. It's the combination of filthy hotness, believable characters and emotional connection that is complete catnip to me in a fic. 
There is a wealth of little details that give so much depth (story, character, emotions) to what is essentially an extended sex scene. In fact, they barely touch, the intensity generated by the emotional and mental connections that all three characters make. 
Part 2 - what yields the need for those who lead us - Alex, Kyle/Michael - Kyle POV
Kyle is back for another night with Alex and Michael, but with the D/s and physical aspects of the relationship turned up to 11. This one sees all three of them getting into the sexy action. 
But while the fic is smutty, Kyle never treats the underlying relationship that he is invited into as anything other than significant, and about so much more than sex - "I can do casual, but nothing about this feels casual to me." 
Both of these stories give us a slightly different take on the characters we already know. Alex’s iron control is re-purposed to give chaotic, adrift Michael freedom - by giving him boundaries, and to give Kyle freedom - by letting him give up some of the responsibility he carries everyday. Everyone gets something they need.
Part 3 - i just ask you to be patient - Michael/Kyle/Alex - Kyle POV
This story is about what comes after the amazing, kinky, hot sex. What happens when sex is off the table and they need to rely on their words? What happens when you put three people who’ve had their worlds shattered in different but inter-connected ways - together, trying to build something new? What we get is two steps forward and one step back. But that makes sense with these characters. Mis-steps through self-sacrifice and doubt. Not feeling worthy of love. The fear that comes with opening up your heart to other people. 
“I didn’t want to....take up too much space.” I mean, jesus. These boys.
Part 4 - a bookend to the weirdest of weeks - Michael/Kyle, Alex - Kyle POV
This one is all about Kyle. Not many fics have explored the impact of the revelations about Jim and Rosa on Kyle. What we’ve seen in the show hints that he has a really good relationship with his parents, probably the best out of all of the humans and so he had the most to lose when he found out the truth about Jim and what he did at Caulfield. This fic looks at how he deals with that and its specific impact on his relationship with Michael. 
Basically Kyle is a big ball of inherited guilt in this one. 
How do you build a relationship on the ashes of your fathers’ actions? How does Kyle deal with having “...two Jim Valenti’s living side by side in his mind to grieve…” In some ways it’s the perennial story of the parent we knew as a child versus the parent we see when we are adults. But it’s also about how do you reconcile your love for a parent when they have done something that has destroyed another person you love?
“Caulfield shattered Michael.” 
How do you grieve and think about forgiveness in those circumstances? How do you build on the ashes?
Part 5 - it’s a postcard, i’m settled - Kyle/Alex/Michael 
Domestic bliss, Michael loves a challenge and filthy, filthy smut. I love it.
Part 6 - the stumbling phase of the midnight waltz - Michael/Alex, Kyle - Michael POV
Not gonna lie, this one sort of hurts. This one is Michael slowly falling apart when Alex and Kyle aren’t there to help hold him together. Where Michael’s fear of abandonment led to some poor decision making, “...he left his phone under the bed, so the weight of silence didn’t hit so heavy.” He can pretend that he’s missing the calls because his phone isn’t there, not because no one is calling (even when they are).
Michael in this fic is just so fragile. It’s not an uncharacteristic version of Michael, but rather a version that we only ever see in flashes, easy to miss or ignore. But here, with nowhere to run and no one to hide behind, we see that fragility in its many forms. We know from previous fics that this Michael has been shattered by the events of his life and in this story we see those fractures grow and become more obvious.
But of course Alex, he sees and asks so gently “May I touch you?”, followed by “Are you ready for me to tell you what you need?”. Ahh, I love these boys.
Part 7 - blink back to let me know - Alex/Kyle - Alex POV
This one takes place immediately after the stumbling phase of the midnight waltz (previous fic). Alex is reaching out to Kyle for support, feeling raw after taking care of Michael. And Kyle uses his superpowers - communication, calm and support - to help Alex get back where he needs to be. This is an exploration of some of Alex and Kyle’s insecurities of brokenness, weakness and not belonging. But also of pieces fitting together.
Part 8 - i’ll be your key - Alex/Michael/Kyle - Michael POV
This is a story of spikiness and sharp edges. Of the fear and anger and frustration that comes with physical danger and not being able to protect the people we love. I love Michael’s concern for Kyle, his need to touch him, to make sure he’s alright but also his uncertainty that he is allowed to. Of Alex’s fear and anger at Kyle getting hurt, that it is his fault, a failure to protect him. Of Kyle’s frustration at tough guy bullshit and professional compromise. They are in a place where they are still finding their way, but are certain enough to tell each other the truth, but still living with the weight of legacy, guilt and insecurity.
But also where once they are sure Kyle is safe, Michael can be his dickish but likable self. 
Part 9 - tender, frantic, life-affirming - Kyle/Alex/Michael
This is all about the “tender, frantic, life-affirming sex” that Michael was angling for in the previous fic, but with a slightly lighter tone than the description would indicate.
Like so many of the stories in this series, even when we’re getting top shelf smut (which this is), we also get these small glimpses of the characters that gives them another texture, more depth - be it Alex’s sweet-shark smile, Michael being completely out of it or Kyle’s being overwhelmed. 
And I’m not gonna lie, I’m totally here for the dynamics in this one, which are masterful. Alex at his bossy, dommy best, Michael melting at being able to let go and just be, and Kyle giving and taking as needed.
Part 10 - say what’s on your mind - Kyle/Michael - Kyle POV
Names can be weapons, names can be shields, names have power - names are important. 
This story always hits me hard because name fics involving these characters are my kryptonite. I love them. This one is about Kyle and Michael calling him Doc. Because Kyle knows how much Michael fears hospitals, he questions why Michael calls him Doc. Kyle feels guilty, Michael thinks he’s fucked up, Alex drops everything to help. They are back to sharp edges, guilt and fear. I want to give them all hugs and a good talking to. 
Kyle runs, and Michael, god, Michael, he needs another fucking hug. 
But then, such heartbreaking tenderness and care.
Part 11 - give me all you’e got - Alex/Michael/Kyle 
Michael is getting better at asking for what he needs, and what he needs is Alex calling the shots for him and Kyle. Alex is happy to oblige. Porny, porn with feels. 
Conclusion
While the series is definitely about the three of them, it’s one of the few that explores in depth what a relationship between Michael and Kyle could look like. What the dynamics and emotions of that would look like, how they would both deal with not only their personal histories, but with the weight of family legacy.   
I love this series because we get angst and pain and hurt but we also get love and tenderness and protectiveness. We get harsh words but also soft touches. In a story about how three people find their balance with each other, the writing is perfectly balanced.  
I love everything about this series. It’s hot, it’s complicated, the characters read true and have depth and flaws and tenderness. It’s believable. It has everything I want in a fic. It really is word perfect. Go read them!!

Maybe I Am? - Chpt.3
Characters: Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes
Summary: The guys meet up for a casual Sunday farmers market trip but when they get back to Bucky’s apartment things heat up fast. Master list HERE.
Content Warning: basic second base smuttiness; swapping hand jobs and some frottage.
Word Count: 5k
Author’s Note: Hello lovelies! I told ya'll there was gonna a lot of smut in this one and I'm starting to deliver as of this chapter :) So please, enjoy some lovely smuttiness on this fine Wednesday evening lol. XOXO - Ash
Chapter Three
“I told you so.” Natasha cheered over their plate of danishes the next morning. 
Bucky’s smile was sphinx-like as he nibbled on his pastry, “You did. I’m still not 100% sure he’s not going to just bolt at some point but I think that’s a risk I’m going to have to take.” 
“It sounds like a risk worth taking if one kiss has you smiling like that twelve hours later.”
“Ugh, Nat! And for the record, it was more than just one.” Bucky chuckled as Natasha shoved at him playfully.
Across town Steve was helping Sam tidy up in between classes and trying to avoid the grilling he knew Sam wanted to give. They had recapped the last class and personal training sessions and planned out the room for the next group coming in. They went over all the adjustments needed to the next week’s schedule since they were still covering for Thor who was out on paternity leave for the next four weeks now that his wife Jane had the baby. By the time they were setting the last of the kettle bells on the rack they had run out of gym related topics. Sam gave him another side eyed glance and Steve sighed, knowing what was coming.
“So are you still talking to Bucky?” Sam finally asked.
Steve had been reluctant to tell Sam about anything other than their first meeting. He hadn’t even told Sam why he’d bought the new outfit for earlier that week. It was still so new and he was unsure himself of where things were going, or where he even wanted them to go. He figured if in the end he realized he was bi or gay or whatever, then he could tell his friends. But until he was sure there was no point in announcing anything. “I am.” Steve admitted reluctantly.
“And how’s that going?” Sam seemed genuinely interested but Steve still clammed up.
“Good, he’s a good friend. We’ve been swapping memes all week.” 
“Nice. See, it all worked out and now you have someone else to send those stupid GIFs from The Office to.” 
“Hey, don’t knock one of the best TV shows of all time.” Steve glared pointedly.
“Whatever floats your boat, man.” Sam moved on, heading over to the desk to check the roster one last time before he started pulling out mats for their next class. A small twinge of guilt bit in Steve’s stomach, knowing he had let Sam make a wrong conclusion and hadn’t corrected him. But really, what was the point if he still wasn’t sure of everything himself? 
xxXxx
Bucky woke early on the Sunday after their date, restless in a way he hadn’t been in a while. He wanted to see Steve again but it had only been a day. Bucky busied himself with too much coffee and a book while he did laundry in his building's basement, trying to distract himself for a while. By 10am all of his standard keep busy chores were done and he was staring at his phone, trying to make Steve text him by sheer force of will. Giving up he started swiping through Instagram, catching up on his friend’s weekend adventures. Pepper had posted a cute picture of a bouquet she bought at the local farmers market and Bucky realized he had found the perfect reason to text Steve. It was innocent enough and casual so if Steve was busy or declined it wasn’t earth shattering. Plan in place, Bucky fired off a quick text.
Bucky Barnes [10:17:44AM]: hey u. im heading 2 the farmers market in sunset park. gonna stop 4 more of that wine. wanna come?
Steeeeve [10:19:23AM]: Hey! That sounds fun. What time?
Bucky Barnes [10:19:52AM]: headed over now if ur free
Steeeeve [10:20:08AM]: Okay. I just need to throw on some shoes and I’ll head out. I can be there in like 15min. 
Bucky Barnes [10:20:33AM]: k see u then
Bucky scrambled to fix his hair and pick a shirt from the pile he’d just brought up. He hadn’t expected Steve to be willing to meet up so quickly and he was still wearing his laundry day sweatpants. He was closer to the market than Steve but he also needed more time to get ready so he ended up getting a “I’m here” text from Steve on his way. 
Steve was waiting by a jewelry stand when Bucky caught up with him. He had been wandering around for a few minutes and the display of beaded bracelets caught his eye. They reminded him of the ones Bucky had worn when they first met and he wondered which ones Bucky would like. 
“Hey!” Bucky greeted him with a small wave as he approached.
“Hey.” Steve echoed happily. He almost reached out for a hug but something held him back and after a second ticked by he realized he should have just done it but the moment had passed. 
“What are you looking at?” Bucky asked, a little disappointed he hadn’t gotten their standard greeting hug and wanting to move on. 
“Oh, these things caught my eye while I was browsing.” 
“They’re nice. I love the way the translucent ones almost glow.” Bucky picked up one of the vivid pink ones, letting the sunlight hit it from different angles. 
“Let me buy it for you.” Steve offered before his brain caught up with his mouth. 
Bucky looked skeptically at him, “You don’t have to do that.” 
“I want to, please?” 
“Thanks, Stevie.” Bucky said softly, handing the bracelet over. 
Steve blushed at the nickname, ducking his head and walking over to pay the sales girl for the bracelet. Once purchased, he returned it to Bucky who slid it on his wrist next to the two others he was currently wearing.
“Perfect.” Steve praised. 
Bucky was looking appreciatively at his newest addition while Steve was looking appreciatively at Bucky. God, he was gorgeous. Bucky was dressed casually in light washed jeans and a dark grey shirt with no one should live in a closet written in fancy script with a wand below it, all in rainbow colors. Leave it to Bucky. “I like your shirt. Harry Potter reference, right?” Steve guessed.
“Yep. I found it at Pride last year and I’m completely in love with it.” 
“It’s very you.” 
“I’m taking that as a compliment.” Bucky preened for a moment. 
Steve chuckled, “Come on, let’s go get some coffee. Altitude Coffee has a little pop up shop back that way.” 
Steve and Bucky trailed their way through the bustling farmers market, picking up things here and there. Some they actually needed for groceries, but others were just fun impulse buys. They each had overly full canvas totes by the time they were done, and hauled their finds along with them to the wine shop. They each bought a full box from the shop, having stocked up on a half case of their favorites, which only further slowed Bucky down. While Steve had the muscles and endurance to haul a giant tote and six bottles of wine around the city, Bucky did not. 
“Uh, Steve.” Bucky panted out, finally giving up. 
Steve looked over and realized Bucky had fallen a few steps behind while he was talking about a winery he had visited while in Canada a few years ago. 
“I think I need to tap out.” Bucky admitted while shifting his bag as much as he could to get comfortable. 
“Shit, I’m so sorry.” Steve shifted his tote higher on his shoulder, wondering if he could sling Bucky’s on next to his. “Here, let me take your bag.” he extended a hand towards Bucky’s bag.
Bucky was conflicted, he wanted to try and at least get his stuff home but Steve probably could carry both without breaking a sweat. Damned muscled god of a man. “How about this? Since I’m the one wimping out, let me call us an Uber. I can probably get us one less than five minutes.” 
Steve frowned at the idea of an expensive ride all the back to Park Slope. “You don’t have to do that. I can carry our stuff.” 
“If I call us an Uber we could go back to my place and try that baguette and jam I bought.”
“Ooh, that’s a good bribe. I have that cheese I got too.” Steve looked at Bucky for a long moment. An afternoon of good food and even better company was too tempting to pass up. “You sure you don’t mind me coming over?” 
“Not at all. It’s a tiny little crap shack of a place, but it’s my tiny little crap shack.” 
Bucky was already pulling up the app and ordering them a car when Steve finally said, “Okay, let’s go.” 
The Uber ride back to Bucky’s place was barely more than ten minutes and they sat cramped in the back of a Prius with their wine boxes in the trunk and their totes in their laps. Bucky was trying not to laugh at the ridiculousness and shot Steve amused glances every so often, making the blonde have to tamp down his own laughter. By the time they got to Bucky’s apartment Steve practically leapt out of the tiny blue car, grateful to stretch back to his full height again. He insisted on carrying both of their totes and his box of wine bottles up to Bucky’s apartment, leaving Bucky his own wine to carry. Thankfully the building had an elevator and Steve seemed barely phased under the weight of all their stuff. Bucky tried to ignore the filthy thoughts racing through his head of what else Steve was strong enough to do. Like pick him up and fuck him against a wall. Or something. God, Bucky hoped Steve figured things out soon because he was barely through their second date and wanted to climb the man like a tree. 
“Home sweet home.” Bucky announced as he swung the door open to his apartment. He flicked on the recessed lighting in the living room and showed Steve to the kitchen where he could put their bags down. It was a cute little one bedroom apartment with a decent sized living room and dine-in kitchen. 
“It’s nice.” Steve said looking around as he placed their bags on the faux granite countertop. 
“It’s tiny but it works.” Bucky shrugged. 
Steve noticed the would be dining room area of the kitchen was set up with a desk and three wide computer monitors instead of a table. “That’s quite a set up over there.” 
“Oh, yeah.” Bucky looked embarrassed for a moment, “It’s a little ridiculous, but when you work from home it’s kinda nice to have a sweet setup. When I signed on to work for Stark Securities they gave me a signing bonus so I splurged and bought better equipment and that fancy office chair. It was completely worth it too.” 
“Good for you, you deserve it.” 
Bucky blushed lightly at the sincerity of Steve’s tone. He nervously spun the bracelet Steve had bought him around his wrist a few times, hoping he wasn’t setting himself for heartache. “So, lunch?” Bucky offered, the momentary tension dissipating. 
“Absolutely. Let’s break out that bread you got.” Steve started rifling through his bag for the soft cheese and candied pecans he’d bought while Bucky pulled out the heavy loaf of artisan bread, the little pot of homemade plum jam, and a bottle of Chloe Prosecco he’d bought at the wine shop. The bottle had been adorable with its fancy little bow and the sales girl had said it was a popular choice.
They laid out their feast on a large cutting board, teasing each other about how posh the whole thing was. It was a simple but seemingly elegant lunch spread and Bucky liked that their official second date had a bit of a classy feel to it. 
“I’m sorry I don’t have a table or anything for us to eat at.” Bucky waved his hand at his little office space. “I normally just eat on the sofa like a heathen.” 
“Honestly so do I.” Steve admitted with a chuckle.
“We can be heathens together then.” Bucky picked up their wine glasses while Steve carried the large tray out to the coffee table where they set up their feast. Flicking through his streaming channels he settled on Disney, knowing everyone loved those movies. “Have you seen the new Beauty and the Beast?”
Steve shook his head, “No, I heard it was good though.” 
“Good?” Bucky feigned offense, “Stephen Gilligan Rogers.” 
“Not my middle name.” Steve chuckled but Bucky was undeterred.
“BATB is not good. It is iconic. The elaborate costumes, the backdrops, the music, oh my god Steve, the music. We’re watching it. End of subject.” Bucky started up the movie, not even slightly apologetic for his dramatics. One had not lived until they saw Emma Watson as Belle. 
Two hours later Bucky was curled up against Steve, watching with misty eyes as the palace furniture turned back into real people as the curse lifted. Steve was completely engrossed in the movie, barely registering that he had been stroking Bucky’s hair for the better part of an hour. 
“Now do you see?” Bucky demanded as the credits rolled a few minutes later. 
“You were right. That was amazing.” Steve conceded. 
“It was always my favorite Disney movie as a kid but seeing it redone in such a perfect way really gets to me. I’ve threatened to dress up as Belle for the past three Halloweens now.” 
Steve grinned at the idea, “I think you’d make a beautiful Belle.” 
And just like that the air shifted. Bucky was suddenly very aware of how close they were curled up together and the way Steve was looking at him like he’d hung the moon. He didn’t want to rush Steve, he was willing to wait as Steve figured himself out, but if he kept looking at Bucky like that, his timeline needed to hurry up. “You’d make a very handsome beast.” he finally said, going for levity but falling short. 
Steve blushed so prettily, his eyes locked on Bucky’s lips, the bottom of which he was chewing on again. Steve knew now it was a nervous tell and it gave him a little thrill knowing he wasn’t the only nervous one. “I think I’d like to kiss you again.” he admitted quietly. 
“You don’t have to ask, honey.” Bucky purred, leaning in to press a tender kiss against Steve’s lips.
Steve’s body was shaking with nervous energy as Bucky shifted up onto his knees so he could kiss Steve easier. Bucky tasted like wine and plums and something very uniquely him. It made Steve’s head spin as he chased Bucky’s tongue with his own. The fears and worries over what he was doing died away in that moment, his whole being consumed by his desire for the sweet man who was practically in his lap. Steve still wasn’t sure what it all meant, but he knew he wanted more. 
Bucky was so thankful for a repeat of the night on Steve’s couch. Kissing Steve was electric and Bucky couldn’t get enough. The hard planes of his body pressed firmly up against the softer ones of Bucky’s, which only made Bucky more desperate for the close contact. Despite having a thicker build, Bucky felt small next to Steve and he loved it. Feeling brave, and praying desperately that Steve wouldn’t bolt, he swung a leg over Steve’s lap and sat himself atop Steve’s thighs. “Is this okay?” he asked once he was settled. 
“Yeah.” Steve shuddered, “Yeah, it’s fine.” Steve let his hands come to rest on Bucky’s thick thighs on either side of his smaller ones. While Steve’s thighs were hard with well earned muscle, Bucky’s had natural musculature and a softness to them that had Steve wanting to sink his fingers into their plush expanse. Bucky had gone back to kissing him while his mind wandered and Steve decided to give Bucky’s thighs an exploratory squeeze. For science really, just to see if he would feel anything. The kissing so far had been fantastic but Steve worried they’d eventually hit a point where everything went to hell and he realized he was most definitely straight. And then he’d lose Bucky forever. 
Bucky made a light huffing sound when Steve sunk his fingers into the soft meat of his thighs. He was thankful Steve was getting a little braver and decided to run his hands up and down the length of Steve’s ridiculously muscled chest and stomach in a tentative exploration of his own. 
A choked noise made its way out of Steve’s throat as Bucky touched him with feather light hands. He wanted to rip his shirt off and give him all the access he wanted. But he was taking things slow, Steve reminded himself. Unfortunately, not all parts of Steve got that memo. 
Bucky had shifted a bit trying to sprinkle kisses along the sharp edge of Steve’s jaw when he accidentally brushed against an unexpected guest. “Oh, shit, sorry.” he blurted out, moving back an inch so he wasn’t pressed against the, frankly enormous, erection in Steve’s pants. 
Steve blushed from the tips of his ears all the way down his throat. “No, I’m sorry. I guess I got a little carried away.” 
Bucky glanced down at the tenting of Steve’s pants. Damn, he wanted to get his hands on Steve like yesterday. “I could, uh,” he cleared his throat roughly, “help you. With that.” Steve looked at him with wide bright blue eyes, so open and unsure, that Bucky started backpedaling all in a rush, “Or not, we can stop. We don’t have to do anything you’re not ready for.” 
Steve just grinned and leaned in to kiss Bucky again, his motions almost questioning. “I think I’d be okay going a little further this time.” he said quietly against Bucky’s mouth. 
Bucky squeaked involuntarily at Steve’s words. He was now dealing with his own growing problem at the idea of getting to fool around a little with Steve. “If you’re sure. We can stop at any time.” he promised. It would probably kill him, but if Steve said stop at any point he would be off him in a second. 
“I trust you, Buck.” Steve told him, brushing a strand of hair back behind Bucky’s ear. 
Bucky wanted to melt at the trust Steve had in him. He was too good to be true and Bucky just had to hope it would all work out. Gay or straight or somewhere in between, Steve Rogers was an absolute dream partner. Bucky shifted himself forward a little so the hard length in his pants could rub against the one in Steve’s while they kissed a little more. Bucky let his hips rock a little as they moved, giving them both a little bit of tortuous friction. 
Steve was panting like he’d run a marathon, and he knew this from personal experience when he and Sam had run the New York City Marathon a few years back as publicity for their gym. He’d never thought making out on a sofa would have quite the same effect but life had been full of surprises for him lately. The friction against his dick felt amazing and there was a naughty little zing of arousal knowing it was from Bucky’s erection rubbing against his. He would never have expected to enjoy that so much but there he was, fighting for self control like a horny teenager. He wanted to get Bucky off too and not just selfishly sit back and let Bucky take care of him. Steve was well acquainted with getting himself off and really how different could it be doing it to someone else? He was feeling bold and brash, knowing a hand was just a hand and really he had to start somewhere. “I think I’m ready for more.” he spoke up in between heated kisses. 
Bucky paused, jaw hanging open in shock. “Like, more more?” 
Steve nodded rapidly. “Like second base more?” He held his breath, waiting for Bucky to process what he’d just asked for. 
“God,” Bucky heaved out a breath, “You’re gonna be the death of me. Yes, second base, yes. Get those pants off, Rogers.” He stripped his own shirt off eagerly while Steve just sat there, amused.
“I kinda have this gorgeous guy on my lap at the moment.” he teased.
“Sorry!” Bucky yelped, hopping up so Steve could pull his pants down and off, quickly followed by his tee shirt. He sat in just his boxer briefs on Bucky’s sofa, looking like every Calvin Klien ad fantasy Bucky’d ever had come to life. “Jesus.” he whispered harshly. Bucky couldn’t get his own pants off fast enough, leaving him in his own silky boxers to resume his perch on Steve’s lap. 
Unconfined by pants Bucky got a better feel of Steve’s cock and he was thanking every saint he could think of for what was about to happen. He shifted himself closer to Steve, his thighs spreading wider, and he reached down to give Steve’s cock a tentative squeeze over top the soft cotton of his underwear. 
“Ohh.” Steve gasped out, his body trembling once again. His eyes were glued on Bucky, not wanting to miss a moment. He was so handsome sitting on Steve’s lap. His long hair shining in the afternoon sun that flooded in the glass balcony doors, his lightly tanned skin decorated with a series of finely detailed tattoos. While his muscles weren’t hard and cut like Steve’s, Steve loved the slight softness of the other man’s body, giving him something to sink his fingers into along his sides. It felt nice, and right, and Steve realized in that moment he was more invested in what was about to happen than he had been for most the sexual encounters he’d had with Peggy. It was startling but Steve pushed it down to deal with another day. In the moment, all that mattered was Bucky. 
“Can I?” Bucky asked, trailing his fingers along the waistband of Steve’s boxer briefs. 
“Yeah. Can I?” Steve echoed, tugging at the silky material at Bucky’s hip. 
“If you’re sure.” Bucky prayed silently that having an actual cock in his hand wouldn’t send Steve running for the hills. 
But it didn’t. Steve pulled his underwear off when Bucky hopped up to do the same and he was all nervous excitement when Bucky resumed his perch. He hadn’t thought of what to expect but Steve was blatantly staring at the thick length of Bucky’s dick. It was shorter than his own, but Steve had already known he was considered a bit above average, and it was girthy in a way that made Steve wonder if he topped or bottomed. Because, Steve thought with amusement, these were things he had to consider now. But not right away. They would take things slow and he would see if this was even something he wanted to try. Steve reached out a hand to test the weight of Bucky’s dick in his palm. He slid his hand up and down for two quick strokes, testing how doing that made him feel and was pleasantly surprised that it was a pretty familiar act. The way Bucky hissed out a sharp breath and craned his neck back, eyes shut tight, made Steve’s own dick jump for attention. Oh, this was kind of fun. Steve moved his hand for another few stokes, enjoying the way Bucky’s body reacted so blatantly to the pleasure. It was easy to get him worked up like that and Steve was genuinely enjoying himself watching Bucky become a desperate, needy thing in his lap, thrusting a little into Steve’s fist. 
“God. Fuck. Stevie, slow down.” Bucky pleaded. “I wanna take care of you too, honey. Can I? Please?” 
“Okay.” Steve acquiesced, bracing himself for the pressure of Bucky’s hand around his dick. 
Bucky eagerly wrapped his fist around the hard length of Steve’s cock, sliding it up and down the impressive length until Steve gasped. He leaned forward to kiss Steve from his jaw down his neck to his collarbones while he groped him fervently between their two overheated bodies. For as simple as it was, it was absolutely exquisite. “How you doing, Stevie?” Bucky prompted, wanting to check in to ensure Steve was still on board. He rested his forehead on Steve’s shoulder, waiting patiently for him to respond.
“So good.” Steve managed to moan out. “This is amazing.” 
“Wanna try something even more amazing?” Bucky grinned devilishly. “Just hand stuff, promise.” he added for reassurance.
“What can be better than this?” Steve questioned but motioned for Bucky to go ahead with whatever he had in mind.  
Carefully, Bucky shifted forward one last time, pressing as close to Steve as humanly possible making his over stretched thighs burn in the process. He slipped his hand from Steve’s cock and lined it up with his own, wrapping his fist around them both the best he could. He gave them a quick stroke, reveling in the sensation and waiting to see if Steve would enjoy it too. 
Steve’s whimper was a good sign. “Please.” he begged, “Please, please do that.” 
Bucky picked up the motion again, rhythmically pumping them in his fist. Steve was making little broken ahh sounds, unable to keep up with the pleasure thrumming through his body, and it spurred Bucky on to bring them both racing towards their release. 
Steve could feel the pressure building, his body was on fire and he could barely bite out a warning to Bucky as he felt his orgasm ripping through him. A half formed “I’m g-” was all the warning Bucky got before Steve was spilling all over his hand and cock. Watching Steve come undone, the pure bliss on his face, had Bucky following him over the edge of his own climax seconds later. His body shook hard as he spilled over his hand and across the rippled muscles of Steve’s abs. 
Steve’s cheeks were flushed, his eyes shining, and Bucky mused he probably looked about the same. Steve was so stunning sitting there with a wide, lazy blissed out smile on his face. Bucky giggled a little realizing how incredibly lucky he was. Steve really was just perfection. 
“What?” Steve asked, joining in Bucky’s infectious laughter. 
“You’re perfect.” Bucky admitted, speaking what was on his mind. 
“And you’re beautiful.” Steve leaned up to push Bucky’s hair back where it had fallen forward in his face. He pressed two chaste kisses against his lips before pulling back, feeling a little extra affectionate in his post-orgasmic haze. 
Bucky made a muffled mmph sound, leaning into Steve, just wanting to be close for a moment. “We made quite a mess.” he said finally, the squidgy feeling of their come between their stomachs not exactly a pleasant one. 
“We should clean up.” Steve agreed. 
“Come on, I have some wet wipes in my room.” Bucky lifted himself up off of Steve’s lap, suddenly cold without their skin to skin contact.
Steve noticed his shiver and as soon as he was standing, he pulled Bucky close against him in a warm embrace. 
Bucky basked in the warmth, his brain effectively turning to mush again at how sweet Steve was. “You spoil me.” he whispered against Steve’s firm pecs.
Steve dropped a kiss on top of Bucky’s head, “You deserve to be spoiled.” 
It took every bit of willpower in Bucky to pull back and lead Steve down the hall to clean up. He could have stayed wrapped in Steve’s arms forever, sticky cooling mess on his stomach be damned. They exchanged quick, adorably awkward glances at each other as they cleaned up. Both wanting to get a more detailed look now the heat of the moment had passed. Steve tossed his wipes in the wastebasket by Bucky’s dresser and then pulled Bucky close by his hips, “You really are so beautiful, Buck.” he told him softly.
Bucky had been careful to wall up his heart when he decided to give Steve a chance. He didn’t want to risk another heartbreak less than a year after what he’d been through with Brock. But Steve’s sweet words and affectionate touches had the walls crumbling a little despite Bucky’s best defenses. “Careful.” he teased with a pang of truth to his words, “You’re gonna ruin me for all other men, you keep this up.” 
Steve chuckled and kissed the top of Bucky’s head yet again. There were so many things he wanted to say in that moment. Raw, honest things that ached in his chest. But Steve kept them inside, not willing to let down his guard so completely just yet. He still didn’t really know what he was doing but damned if he wasn’t loving every second of it so far. 
“Come on you, let’s get dressed.” Bucky said finally, tugging Steve’s hand into his and leading him back down the hall.
Steve left shortly after they’d redressed and cleaned up the mess from their lunch. It was a long, drawn out goodbye in the doorway, neither one of them really wanting to part despite knowing they both had to get on with their usual Sunday routines. Steve promised to text Bucky once he’d made it home, insisting he would have no trouble carrying his tote and box on the subway. And then he was off down the hall, looking back just once before he got on the elevator and wishing he could have stayed. Bucky walked over to his glass balcony door, watching the street below as Steve crossed it heading toward the nearest subway station. He was trying not to get too attached but after the day they’d spent together, Bucky knew it was a losing battle.

13 with outpost michael
Thank you so much for sending this in anon! I know the prompt was fluffy but it got away from me and turned smutty oops
Anyway! This is the first non fluffy piece I’ve posted and while I’m really happy with how it came out I’m still kinda weary because I’m not used to writing smut lol I would love love love to hear what you think/how I can improve. Hope you see this anon, sorry I took so long! I rewatched the morning after for help w characterization lol
Tumblr media
The bundle of nerves that swell in Y/N’s tummy were unbearable. She fiddled with the cuff of her sleeve, twisting the delicate buttons in between her fingers. Y/N had her interview with Langdon and she wasn’t sure which thought made her more nervous; not getting let into the sanctuary or being alone with him in a room.
She looked up from her idle pass time when she heard the door slide open, allowing Mr. Langdon to stride inside and take a seat across from her. Amber flames wicking furiously in the fireplace, illuminated his long blonde waves and casted a beautiful glow on his pale skin. She often found herself thinking of his skin and how porcelain it was. She wanted to run her fingers over it, the thought alone raised goosebumps to her arm.
“Y/N” he spoke her name out slowly. She hated that she loved how it dripped from his lips. “No need to be so nervous,” he shot her a wicked grin. “All I expect is the truth. And I have no reason to believe you’ll disappoint. Or I am I wrong?” he tested her. “No, sir. I understand.” she chewed on the inside of her lip, keeping focused on what he said.
He crossed his legs, resting his hands in his lap, “Very well, then. Tell me about your chastity.” he leered, eyeing the silver band adorning her delicate finger. Her mouth gaped at the question. She knew humanity was on the brink of extinction and procreation would be expected, but she could not find the answer he was looking for. As if he could read her thoughts, he sighed heavily, “Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear.” his annoyance evident in his voice. “Tell me about the promise you made to your god,” he chuckled. Y/N could tell how much he was enjoying this with the way his remarks weighed heavily in ridicule. Quite frankly it angered Y/N to not be taken seriously by this man. The flash of anger did not go unnoticed by Michael; if anything it only edged him to press her further.
“I’m not playing any games Y/N,” he paused for a moment before standing and walking to the desk. He casually leaned back against it, crossing one foot behind the other. “Did you honor your promise?” he fought a smile poorly. “No.” her cheeks burned hotter than the fire besides her.
He hummed, running his hands over the smooth wooden surface, “Not as pure as you let others believe,” he stated, his eyes wandering up and down her frame.
“I have no control over what others think of me,” she quipped, the cool silver metal of the ring feeling heavier than she remembered. He rolled his eyes, “What did I say about lying?” he was having fun with her. He wanted to see just how far he could push her boundaries. “You prance around the outpost with a holier than thou attitude,” he scoffed, “when we both know how aggressively you work your pretty little fingers on your clit behind closed doors.” The air felt heavy with the tension between the two. Michael kept his composure nonchalant, but the girl felt her heart beating out of her chest.
“Tell me, Y/N” his voice echoed around the room, “do you miss the feeling of having someone’s cock buried in your pussy?” Before she can say anything, he lifts a finger in the air, “I won’t remind you again - honesty.” he licked his lips.
She nodded her head yes, keeping hold of his steel gaze. With the dim lighting of the room and the candles flickering around him, she couldn’t settle on the color of his eyes, but depths of them engulfed her.
A smug smile made its way to his chiseled face as he stood of up straight. He motioned her to him with his pointed finger,  “Come here,” he commanded. “Why?” she furrowed her brows, questioning him. Another sigh came from Langdon, “Just come here,” he fought the innate urge to roll his eyes.
She rose from here seat and didn’t hesitate to make her way to him. He walked around her until she was the one pressed against the desk. He placed his hands at her waist and lifted her off her feet, perching her up on the desk. Standing in between her legs, he got close enough to rub the tip of his nose against hers. Y/N’s heartbeat was increasing and he could sense it. “Relax,” he muttered, another devilish grin flashed across his face. He dragged his finger down your neck and ran it over your exposed collarbone. “Take off your dress.” he instructed easily. Y/N couldn’t keep up with the thoughts racing through her head; all she knew in that moment was the feeling of her panties dampening beneath her gown as her desire for him grew. Hesitation out the window she began riding herself of the dated gown, he held her steady as they watched it fall to the ground, leaving her in silky white panties.
Langdon stepped back to take in the sight of her sitting almost completely exposed to him. Her skin appeared to be glowing with sheen as the shadows danced along it. Her legs were slightly parted and watching her wet her lips with the tip of her tongue made the bulge in his pants twitch.
“Beautiful,” he mummered, closing the gap between them again. She tilted her head up, wanting to meet her lips to his. Langdon blossomed by seeing the desperation in her eyes. Knowing he had the power to watch her come undone was almost enough for him.
Ghosting his lips over her neck, her jawline, and her lips caused a shiver to run down her spine. “Please,” she drawled out, closing her eyes, allowing the sensation of his breath against her skin to tickle her senses.
“Please what?” smugness evident in his tone. “Touch me please.” Y/N’s eyes reopened to hold his gaze. Having her right were he wanted her, he trailed his fingers down the valley between her breasts, past her tummy, and to the waistband of her panties. Dropping to his knees, he came eye level with her pussy. He looked up at her through his lashes, red eyeshadow much more prominent from her new point of view and he looked like he dripped of sin and Y/N was insatiable for him.
Michael could smell her arousal and he knew he couldn’t his charade much longer; he needed to taste her. He needed to see her become his. He began by sponging a wet kiss to her cloth covered core, earning him the most delicate gasp he’s ever heard. He smirked against her, “Did you like that, princess?” he rubbed the tip of his nose back and forth a bit, making her squirm. His hands gripped at her knees, stopping her movements, “Uh - uh,” he shook his head, “Need you to stay still for me.” he said as he slid her underwear down her legs. “Yes, sir.” she bit down on her lip, the nerves she felt before the interview began now placed someone else. With that, he brought his index and middle finger up to her pout, “Get them nice and wet for me.” he chuckled, his free hand roaming up and down her thigh. Y/N opened her lips and began sucking on his digits, she swirled her tongue around them in an obscene manner, causing him to groan and pull his hand back. It was her turn to smirk now.
After what Y/N felt like an eternity of foreplay and teasing, Michael finally touched where she so longed for him. Langdon ran his spit covered fingers down her wet folds before leaning in and licking a stripe down her center. He licked her once more, her sweet taste drugging him into an animalistic state. He attached his lips to her clit, sucking on the bud whilst he entered his fingers in her. Crescent shaped moons began forming on her thighs from the grip he had on her. Above him was a whimpering mess. She could feel her wetness and his saliva spill down her thighs as he continued his attack of pleasure. Her panting increased as her thoughts clouded over with bliss. Michael kept his right hand on her thigh, but his left reached for hers. He laced his fingers with hers as he brought her closer to her orgasm; never breaking his mouth from her pussy, he slid her chastity ring off of her finger and managed to place it around his pinky. He smirked against her and sucked harshly, and brought his hand down to her pussy. “Fuck,” she choked out, “Please, oh god” she begged. Curling his fingers deep inside caused her to unravel for him. Michael continued licking the mess she made until she rode out her orgasm.
Rising from his knees, he took her hands and pulled her off the desk, and crashed his lips to hers. They tangled their tongues together, exploring each others mouths. Michael was the first to pull away, tugging her bottom lip with his teeth as he did. “It appears that we’ll have to extend this interview..” he mused, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’d like that.” she blushed. She bent down to pick her panties up, but he was quicker. He snatched them and tucked them into his back pocket. “You can get these during phase two.” a playful glint in his eyes, “Tonight. In my room. I won’t tolerate tardiness, Ms. Y/L/N” She shook her head, giggling a bit. “Yes, sir.”
“It’s Michael.” he corrected her. “Okay then, Michael’ she tested the name, “do I get my ring back during phase two?”
“No,” he let out against her mouth, kissing her again, “that’s mine now.” he looked down to admire the little silver band around his pinky. “You’re mine now.”

Hey, hope you're having an okay time! For the writing asks, maybe 1, 23, 38?
I had an interesting couple days, but I’m good now, thank you! <3
1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.
The thing that seems to come easiest to me is light angst with lots of mutual pining - I can’t seem to do full-on fluff, but I can only torture my poor lovely idiots so much, even when I intend to do angst. And of course I love turning weird things into extended metaphors and writing overly ornamental prose. I think that’s probably the most “me” aspect of all my fics. (A lot of the time the metaphors come before the plot - I’m absolutely terrible at planning, but I kind of build everything up slowly around the weird metaphors.)
23. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?
My fic-writing history—at least the surviving fics, thankfully, and not whatever the hell I was doing when I was 14 that’s been lost to the merciful and relentless passage of time—is all fairly recent, but the literal oldest one I have on AO3 is still my least favorite (Catching Signals). I’ve considered taking it down or revising it in a half-assed sort of way, but I always talk myself out of it. (Mostly I don’t want to take the time to revise, honestly, because I don’t know how besides rewriting it completely, and I don’t care enough to do that.) It’s just a slightly uncomfortable fic for me because it was a pure projection of something I was feeling at the time, I wrote it more or less in one shot, and I didn’t put a lot of thought into it or have any real reason for writing it as a fanfic besides the fact that I was reading an absolutely obscene amount of GO fic at the time and that was just what was in my brain. I’d probably like it better if I expanded it a bit and added in a more coherent metaphorical through-line à la Setting Suns or Place of No Return. But I don’t have any plans to actually do that at this point.
38. Talk about a review that made your day.
Oh! I’ve had several that were absolutely amazing, and I love all the comments I get dearly, even the ones I’ve had that were just emojis or single words! I’m full of anxiety and impostor syndrome, and I hoard every single interaction I get like a greedy dragon sitting on a little pile of shiny validation. BUT. I especially adore the comments that quote my own lines back to me, because I love knowing which bits are actually working for people and not just me writing terrible purple prose, and it gives me the warm fuzzies to know someone is reading something I did so closely and enjoying it enough to take the time to do something like that. This is why I love attacking other writers with my floaty comment box, and @moveslikebucky recently(ish - look I KNOW I write slow ok, it tortures me) gave me a taste of my own medicine on So We Come to A Place of No Return. AND, not only did they quote my smutty nonsense, they also complimented my pacing and complete inability to let go of the shadow metaphor once I’d gotten started, and made me sound so legit, like someone that has even a single clue what they’re doing, and it just made me so happy.
