Okay, so I miscalculated and the first chapter of It Started With a Kiss might not be coming out tomorrow-- Yes, I know. I dont stay true to my word. But I cant recall ever saying I would :/
I sorta misjudged the fact that I wouldnt go to school on Friday.. School is the one place I am most productive, and I spent most of my free time working on actually writing the story at school, mostly the sfw bits. And instead of doing work while I stayed home... I played genshin all day :/ In my defense! I did the fight with Signora AND Raiden in one try, did the Chasm Dainsleif quest, AND began Sumeru's archon quest! I also ascended Lisa and Chongyun. I just havent done anything regarding my fic..
But now I feel a bit more confident in writing it! Originally, for the Sumeru characters, I was going based off what Id heard about them and what little information their voicelines revealed (I have Alhaitham, Cyno, Collei, and Candace but thats kinda it--) Now that Ive met them ingame, I have a better understanding of them as characters so... Yay?
I will still definitely try to get the first two chapters out within the next week. I have no school the next week, and no plans aside from therapy on Friday. So I kinda have no excuse to slack off any further.
Also I just wanna say-- I need to stop trying to imagine how a character will sound before meeting them. Just like with Gorou, I did NOT expect Tighnari to sound like that.

my best habit || aaron hotchner x reader (ch. 5)
Chapter summary: Aaron and the rest of the BAU finally make an arrest on their case, and you spend the weekend at Aaron’s.
Warnings: SMUT, oral (f receiving), multiple orgasms
prev. chapter || masterlist || read on ao3
I had a few, got drunk on you, and now I’m wasted
And when I sleep I’m gonna dream of how you tasted
- Harry Styles, “Medicine”
~~~~~~~
The investigation was slow going, and every day when you got off the metro to get to your internship, you would see the undercover van that you knew had BAU members cramped inside, sitting and waiting for somebody, anybody , to slip up and say something incriminating.
It was weird being at work knowing that it was bugged, but it did wonders for your productivity. Whenever Chris or another one of your friends at the office started to ask you about your personal life, you were able to deflect it with a quick “Sorry, I’m in the zone right now, and I’ve really got to focus!” Usually, you had no problem sharing, but you really didn’t want the FBI to have audio evidence of your retelling of you double fisting vodka Sprites the night before until you passed out in your bathtub.
You also hadn’t seen Aaron since that first night together, which was almost a week ago now. The two of you had been texting back and forth pretty consistently, but you quickly found that there was a variable that wasn’t there two years ago - Jack.
You should have realized that, of course , Jack would be living with Aaron now, but it never crossed your mind. Jack used to live with Haley, and Aaron rarely brought him up to you. Now that Jack lived with Aaron, it made things a little more complicated. It also meant that you couldn’t just show up at Aaron’s doorstep whenever you were feeling lonely, or vice versa. After a long and awkward phone call, Aaron and you had both agreed that it was best that Jack just didn’t meet you, just in case he got attached.
“For now, at least,” Aaron had added at the end, and holy shit, you did not have the time to unpack whatever the fuck that meant.
Especially not with Chris throwing a crumpled piece of paper at you like the two of you were in middle school and passing notes.
You held up the ball of paper with a raised eyebrow. “Seriously? You have the desk across from me, you could have just said my name.”
“What are you doing tonight?” he asked you, pointedly ignoring your question. “Nina just got the Catan expansion pack and she wants us all to come over.”
You pursed your lips as you thought about the offer. You did love game nights with your friends, but it was Friday night and you were still holding out on the possibility of Aaron maybe being free and inviting you over. It was almost pitiful how touch starved you were after just a few days of not being with Aaron.
“I’m not sure whether or not I’m busy tonight,” you admitted, maybe speaking a little too loudly in the direction of the listening devices, just in case Aaron was listening in.
Chris gave you a knowing smirk. “Oh, are you waiting to hear from your secret lover?”
“Okay, don’t use the word ‘lover’ again,” you groaned. “And what makes you think that it was anything more than a one night stand?”
“Because when you’re not actively texting, you’ve been checking your phone every 20 minutes.”
Your face turned red as you sunk into your seat, trying and failing to hide yourself. Maybe if you willed it hard enough, the ground would open up and swallow you whole, just to save you from the embarrassment. You hadn’t realized you were checking your phone so often, but you also didn’t doubt it.
“Fine,” you grumbled, deciding that coming clean to your friends was going to be much easier than having to deal with them bringing it up at every moment possible. Besides, you didn’t have to give them all the details. “I will tell everybody all about him, but later . Not now.”
Chris smirked as he leaned back in his chair, obviously proud of himself. You turned back to your work, mindlessly doing edits as you came up with a cover story in your head.
Ran into an old friend, you could say. We got drinks, and then one thing led to another. That could work, except you came to the realization that you didn’t have any photos of Aaron, which would be suspicious if he was an old friend. You would have to look him up, which you were sure would just lead to a slew of FBI ID photos and news articles, which would mean that they’d just do some major googling of their own. You had avoided looking up Aaron, maybe in fear of what fucked up cases he had been involved in, but your friends would not hesitate.
You could come up with something so ridiculous that they would just laugh about it. Yeah, I got a sugar daddy and he made me sign a nondisclosure agreement, sorry! You giggled to yourself just thinking about it. Aaron would probably be mortified at the thought. Although, he did wear a Rolex, so you guessed that anything was possible.
“Holy shit, Y/N,” Chris mumbled, and you just gave a lazy hum as a reply, not really paying attention. “The FBI is here.”
Your head snapped up at that . You whipped your head around so that you could face the entrance, and sure enough, the entire BAU team was walking in like they owned the place, with Aaron in the lead. They all had their FBI vests on, a sight which was way more attractive than it should have been. JJ and Reid stayed at the entrance to make sure nobody got out.
“Everybody, please stay calm,” JJ called out, putting her hands up non threateningly. “Everything is okay, but we need you all to stay sitting exactly where you are.”
A commotion came from the conference room and against your better judgment, you turned your head to watch what was going on. It wasn’t just one person getting arrested, it was every partner. You watched as Aaron spun Julian DuPont around by the wrist and pushed his face down on the conference table and oh, the FBI vest was nothing compared to watching Aaron arrest somebody.
If anybody asked you if you got turned on during an FBI raid, you would vehemently deny it, but watching Aaron take out his handcuffs made your mind flash back to all those times you were in that same position, cuffed and bent over, completely at Aaron’s mercy.
Just as quickly as they came in, the BAU made their arrests and made their way back out. As Aaron passed your desk, his eyes met yours for a brief second and the corner of his mouth quirked up smugly. It was so subtle and quick that even you barely caught it, but you knew that look.
At least you weren’t the only one in this situation with your mind in the gutter.
Once the rest of the BAU was out of the building, JJ and Reid started the process of getting everybody else out of the office so that CSI could come in and finish looking around. When you passed by them, both agents greeted you with a warm smile, like the three of you were old friends.
“Y/N, we’re going to need to get your statement before you go home,” Reid told you as you walked by, and you just nodded in confirmation.
Once you got outside, you were immediately greeted by some agent named Anderson. He needed to get your statement on the work you did with the team, and you quickly gave him the PG version of the story. Your mind, however, was more focused on finding Aaron, who you knew had to be somewhere in the crowd. God, how long did it take to write down a simple statement?
“I’ll take it from here, Anderson. Thank you.”
Aaron’s voice sent shivers down your spine and you spun around to look at him. You brought your bottom lip in between your teeth. “Nice arrest, although I’m surprised. Mr. DuPont doesn’t even drive himself to work, I can’t imagine him waiting out to kill somebody.”
“That’s because he hired hitmen,” Aaron explained. “The victims were all bribing judges to get their cases dismissed, and all of those dismissed cases looked really bad for his prosecuting record.”
You shrugged, placing your hands on his hips. “Probably not as bad as prison, though.”
That actually got a laugh out of Aaron, but he quickly composed himself as another agent walked past the two of you. “Yeah, he’s not going to be practicing law ever again.”
You opened your mouth to say something - maybe to invite him over? You weren’t totally sure - when one of the CSI’s came over to ask Aaron something.
Aaron waved him off, telling him that he would be there in a moment, before turning back to you. “My house will be empty all weekend,” he whispered, looking around to make sure nobody was watching. “Pack a bag, come over.”
Before you could even answer him, Aaron had already taken off. You made your way towards the metro so that you could run home before heading to Aaron’s. You had to fight the smile that was growing on your face when Aaron mentioned packing a bag. Not only was it an unspoken promise of a weekend full of sex, it also meant that he was planning on making room for you to keep some of your stuff at his house. The two of you were quickly falling back into your old routines, and it was weirdly comforting.
When you got to your house, you made a split second decision to change out of your work clothes into a more casual outfit, although it didn’t matter much what you were wearing. It’s not like it was going to stay on for very long. As you packed your bag, you ordered an Uber, knowing it would get you to Aaron’s place faster than the metro.
Sure, you were a little impatient, but it had been so long since you had spent the night at Aaron’s place. It always intrigued you how different it was at his house than it was at yours. You were just staying in a shoebox apartment while you were in college - something liveable and temporary until after you graduated and got a job where you could put actual roots down. Your decor was fairly minimum, an assortment of knick-knacks and photos of your friends.
Aaron’s place was different. It was a certifiable, adult house with framed art and random decorative bowls scattered around. All of his kitchenware was a part of a matching set and his living room looked like all the pieces were picked out by an interior designer. In a weird way, being at Aaron’s house gave you a glimpse of the life you could have in just a few years. Sometimes, it was easy to imagine that you were a part of his world.
You couldn’t think like that, though. Especially not when he greeted you at his door with an eager kiss, pulling you in so that you were pressed against him.
“I’m going to use this entire weekend,” Aaron mumbled against your lips in between kisses. His hands slid up your sides, pulling your shirt off almost immediately. “To thoroughly and completely ruin you, until you can only say my name.”
Your fingers tangled in his hair as you smiled into the kiss, your fingers already working on the buttons of his shirt. A soft moan escaped your lips, which only encouraged him to deepen the kiss.
The two of you stumbled towards Aaron’s bedroom, only detaching your lips when absolutely necessary and leaving a trail of clothes behind you. You needed to be naked, to feel your bare skin pressed against his. His hands were impossibly everywhere all at once - running up your thighs, cupping your breasts, and gripping your hips so hard that it was bound to leave bruises. Your body burned everywhere he touched and soon all you could think about was him and how badly you wanted him to touch you where it mattered.
Once you got to his bedroom, Aaron pressed you against the wall. You tried to grind against him, but he moved one of his hands onto your hips so that he could hold you in place. His lips moved from your mouth to your neck, sucking just enough to make your back arch. “You have no idea how often I thought of you this week. How hard it was to listen to you and not think about how you sound when you’re begging for me. How badly I needed you.”
Your nail scratched down his back lightly, just enough to elicit a soft hiss from him. “Desperation is unbecoming on you, Aaron,” you teased, knowing that would get a reaction out of him.
It worked. One of his hands stayed on your hip, pressing you firmly against the wall, while his other hand tangled itself in your hair, pulling your head back so that your face was lifted up towards him. He kept you at an arm's distance as his eyes raked your body up and down hungrily.
“I’m desperate?” he said scornfully. “Coming from the girl who is so needy that she couldn’t stay away from her phone for more than a few minutes, just waiting for me to want you. I could have called you at any time, and you would have dropped everything just to let me use you, isn’t that right? You’d let me do anything to you, just like the filthy slut you are.”
You visibility gulped at his statement but you nodded obediently, which earned you a sharp tug of your hair.
“Yes, Aaron, fuck ,” you gasped out. “I would have let you do anything at any time, just please…”
Aaron gave you a predatory grin as the hand on your hip slowly made its way up your stomach until it cupped your right breast, thumbing lightly over your nipple. It wasn’t enough to get any real pleasure, but it made you moan all the same.
“You did such a good job this week,” he murmured, looking at you almost worshipfully like he wanted to commit you to memory. “I was going to give you whatever you wanted tonight. But maybe that would make me too desperate .”
You tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but it was no use. “I- I-” you stuttered out. You couldn’t think straight.
“I- I-,” Aaron mocked. “I thought you were a lot more intelligent than that. Come on, Y/N, whatever you want. Use your words. Unless pleasure’s turned you into a stupid whore.” He punctuated the last word with a light spank to your clit, which made you cry out and your legs instinctively try to close.
“I want you to use your mouth,” you begged, arching your back in a pitiful attempt to create some form of contact. Your shoulders pressed against the wall was the only thing keeping you upright.
“Where?” he asked all too casually.
Your breathing was still shaky at best, but you forced yourself to make eye contact with Aaron. He looked back at you expectantly, waiting patiently for your answer.
You slowly raised your hand to point to your left breast, which so far had been woefully ignored. “Here,” you said hesitantly, not sure whether or not he was going to tease you. While Aaron always gave you what you asked for eventually, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t make you beg for it first.
To his credit, however, Aaron immediately bent down and attached his mouth to your nipple, his teeth gently scraping over the sensitive flesh. His eyes never left yours, he wanted to watch your reaction.
Feeling more confident, you cupped the sides of his face and pulled him off you, and the sound it made was obscene. “I want you to eat me out,” you whispered, blushing as you said it. “I want to feel myself cum on your face, please .”
Aaron smirked as he slid down to his knees, kissing all the way down your stomach. “Good girl, you asked so nicely,” he mumbled against your skin and it sent shivers up your spine. He hooked one of your legs over his shoulder, giving him a perfect few of your pussy, slick with your arousal. “Look at you, dripping down your thighs before I’ve even started. Desperation is unbecoming on you, Y/N,” he mocked. He was using your words against you, and you didn’t even care. You just wanted him to do something, anything.
Aaron ran a finger through your folds, ghosting over your clit. You hips bucked, desperate for more contact, but his finger was already gone. “Look at me,” he ordered, and as soon as you did, you were greeted with the image of Aaron admiring the wetness that was covering his finger. Then he stuck the finger in his mouth, smirking as he did, and you moaned out at the sight. “You taste so good, Y/N.”
“Please, Aaron, I need you to- oh! ” you begged, but you were cut off by Aaron licking a strip up your center, still avoiding your clit.
His hands came around and grabbed onto your ass as he got to work, lapping through your folds. You tangled your hands in his hair, rocking your hips against his mouth, craving more . His tongue teased at your clit, humming every once in a while in a way that sent vibrations throughout you. Without warning, he pushed two fingers into you curling them in just the right spot.
As Aaron’s fingers pumped in and out of you, his lips focused solely on your clit. He flicked it once with his tongue before sucking, relishing in the way you moaned out his name. You tightened your grip in Aaron’s hair as your first orgasm hit you, your whole body shaking and a string of expletives leaving your mouth. But that didn’t stop Aaron.
He added a third finger and replaced his mouth with his thumb on your clit. “You’re going to give me another one,” he practically growled. “And then I’m going to fuck you until you’re a whining mess. This is what you asked for isn’t it?”
When you didn’t answer right away, he turned his head to the side and bit down on the sensitive flesh of your inner thigh, causing you to cry out. He sucked on that same spot for a little before dragging his tongue over the newly formed bruise.
“Yes, I want that, Aaron,” you cried out. “I want you .”
He reattached his lips to your folds with newfound vigor, making tight circles around your clit. His free hand snaked up your sides to your breast, pinching and twisting at your nipple. You continued to beg, although you weren’t sure what you were begging for exactly. All you knew was that you were so full of want , want for your second orgasm, and want for Aaron.
Aaron fucked you with his fingers with ease, as if he had all the time in the world. You ground down on him again, chasing your orgasm the best you could. Your eyes were squeezed shut in pleasure, but you needed more. You opened your eyes, only to be met with Aaron’s blown pupils, eyes full of desire. You could almost feel his smirk as he wrapped his lips around your clit and pulled .
The heel of your foot dug into his back as you cried out, your second orgasm twice as intense as your first one. Aaron’s fingers kept pumping into you lazily, and even your panting couldn’t cover the filthy sounds it was making. You could feel yourself dripping down your thighs.
Aaron slowly removed his fingers from you and lightly swiped them over your clit once more as he stood up, which almost made you completely lose your balance, a sob tearing from your mouth.
He held his glistening fingers in front of your mouth and you opened obediently, moaning as you tasted yourself on him. Your tongue swirled around his fingers, making sure to clean every trace of you off him.
Aaron removed his fingers from your mouth. “Do you have one more in you?” he asked, and it was softer than you were used to. “It’s okay if you don’t. We have all weekend.”
“I need your dick in me,” you said in lieu of an answer. “Please, please fuck me.”
Aaron pulled you to his bed and you all but collapsed onto your back, your legs still shaking from your back to back orgasms. Aaron crawled on top of you, leaving a trail of kisses in his wake, all the way from your stomach to your mouth.
“You’re so beautiful when you come for me,” he whispered, teasing your entrance with the head of his cock. All of his movements were gentle, bordering on caring. “Yelling out my name so that everybody can hear that you’re mine .”
He pressed into you slowly, his first few thrusts shallow, and you could see that it was taking all of his willpower to keep teasing you like this. You dragged your nails down his back, not caring if it left marks on him.
“Aaron,” you whimpered, bucking your hips to try and get more movement. “Please fuck me. I need more.”
Aaron was always good at giving you what you wanted.
His hips snapped into you harshly, and you had to attach your lips to his shoulder to keep from screaming out. Aaron thrusted into you hard and fast, wanting to feel every inch of you. He stretched you in all the best ways and your back arched off the bed. You were holding on to Aaron like a lifeline, and all he could do was grunt out your name over and over, repeating it like a prayer.
Your third orgasm came fast, spreading through your body like a wildfire, and you could feel the tears prick at the corners of your eyes at the overstimulation. Aaron’s thrusts became more desperate and harsher as he felt you squeeze around him. He dropped his head to your shoulder, his breathing ragged and you could tell that he was so close-
“Cum for me… Fill me up,” you purred into Aaron’s ear, and that’s all it took for him to finish, holding himself deep inside you as his warmth filled you. The two of you stayed like that for a moment, both trying to catch your breath. You brought your head up to kiss Aaron, slowly and deliberately and filled with… something . You couldn’t figure out what it was yet.
Aaron pulled out of you slowly and flopped onto the bed next to you, but he reached over and held your hand. The two of you laid like that for several moments, giving yourselves time to come back down to reality. Finally, Aaron rolled on his side to check on you. You admired the flush on his body, especially as it rose to his cheeks and made him look like he was practically glowing.
“Are you okay?” he asked, his thumb rubbing lazy circles on your hand. “Can I do anything?”
You turned your head to smile at him, giving his hand a squeeze, before sitting up. Aaron was always so careful about aftercare, which you were immensely appreciative of. “Oh, I’m fine, I’m just going to go to the bathroom. A UTI might ruin the mood,” you joked.
When you returned, Aaron was already in a pair of pajama pants and sitting in bed. He had also laid out one of his shirts for you, which caused your stomach to do flips. Despite the fact that you actually did pack pajamas, you chose to wear his shirt. You could feel his eyes watching your every movement as you made your way back into bed, leaning back against the headboard.
Aaron placed an arm around your shoulders and you leaned into him, catching his lips in another kiss, this one soft and sensual. You placed your hand on his bare chest as the kiss deepened, and Aaron’s fingers ghosting over your skin sent shivers down your spine.
“So,” you murmured against his lips. “What are your plans for me this weekend?” It was partially a joke, but you wanted to be as prepared as possible for just how sore you were going to be on Monday after an entire three days of being thoroughly wrecked by Aaron.
Aaron’s lips curved up into a smile as he dropped a kiss on the top of your head, letting his lips linger for just a second too long. “Hm, we can play it by ear. Although, I was thinking Indian for dinner tomorrow night?”
You were too old to get butterflies, but there was something so soft and so sincere in his reply that it made your stomach do flips. Aaron yawned, probably not even giving a second thought to his reply, and pulled you in closer to him.
“Yeah,” you conceded, closing your eyes. “Indian sounds good.” You could deal with the butterflies later.

learn to love; jungkook | 01
pairing: teacher!jungkook x singleparent!reader
genre: fluff, angst
word count: 3K
summary: raising your daughter alone while simultaneously watching your ex-husband live the life of his dreams away from the two of you hurts. badly. it hurts a little less, though, when you find an unlikely friend while looking for help.
lowercase intended
02 | 03 | 04
“seyoung, please,”
being a single mother at this time in your daughter’s life? it wasn’t the best, so to speak.
��to your beautiful seven-year-old seyoung, the local supermarket was a treasure trove of goodies and tasty treats she could barely keep her hands away from. you darted your head in either direction of the breakfast aisle, following the sound of the patter of steps running away from you, just to spot seyoung slipping behind a tower of canned corn and into an ambiguous section of the store. “seyoung!” you gasped, dashing in the direction she went. catching your breath, you found her sitting in the middle of the candy aisle, toying with a bag of skittles and trying to use her small, short nails to tear open the wrapping.
“can you stay near me, baby? please?” you walked towards her slowly, placing your shopping basket on the floor and kneeling to meet her gaze. your mouth twitched into a smile as she shook her head in a pout, shoving the bag of candy against the floor in another attempt to open it. you reach your hand to take it from her hands when she pulls the bag towards her again, clutching it to her chest stubbornly.
“mommy, i want this one!” she whined quietly, kicking her legs and fiddling with the corner of the bag. as you opened your mouth to say no, you realized you couldn’t remember the last time you’d bought something for her. it’s not that raising her alone was extremely difficult — your music producing career had taken off when she’d turned four and you finally had enough money to sustain the two of you — it’s that you were unable to give her the attention and benefits she needed as a child. money that was supposed to be spent on things like an abundance of toys, bags filled with vegetables and spices to make a delicious dinner, adorable slip-ons to match her favorite dress, were all spent on paying for bills, an occasional nanny, and her private school. you weren’t begging for help, but it would be nice.
“alright,” you sighed, the excitement of getting candy shining through her doll-like eyes. “i’ll buy you the candy, but can you promise mommy you won’t run away like that anymore?” she happily placed the bag in your hand with the guarantee of sweets, letting you drop it into your basket. looking back at her to make sure she understands, you raised your eyebrow, prompting her to nod slowly and rise from the market floor. as the two of you made your way to the cashier, she grasped your pinky, doing what she could to hold your hand. after loading all of your groceries in the back of your car, you drove her to her friend, ailee, so they could spend the rest of the warm, welcoming sunday afternoon together. before you left, she gripped your hands as tight as she could and promised you that she’d be back soon. because she knew how much mommy will miss her.
you savored her kind words as you slipped into your car once more, running your hands over the comforting leather stitch of the wheel before pressing the gas and driving home. on your way home, you noticed your phone sitting in the cupholder vibrating as someone called you. waiting until you reached a red light, you answered the phone quickly, paying no attention to the caller id — you get random phone calls from other producers about artists you’d be working with in the future, it was something you’d gotten used to by now.
“hey.” a deep, masculine voice mumbled on the other side of the line. you recognized it instantly.
it was your ex-husband.
“hi, hoseok. is there something you need?” you asked, a hint of annoyance in your voice. hearing him again after three months was surreal; it reminded you of everything that’d happened with him.
“yeah, i was wondering if we could, uh, visit seyoung.” he muttered, obviously tense from your tone.
we. he said we.
the word we, without you, was the reason why you’d left him.
you found them. that’s all you’d allow yourself to think about regarding him. if you let yourself go further, you may break down in the middle of the freeway.
“ah, you mean you and yebin? of course. seyoung’s not home right now, but you guys can come and visit her at any other time.” you replied, savoring the fact you’d planned a playdate for her. hoseok and yebin were the last people you wanted to see at the moment.
you weren't angry that he’d continued with his mistress after the two of you divorced; you weren’t the jealous type, and frankly, you didn’t want to be with someone who threw away years of love and support for a woman who he’d known for less than six months. you missed your other half, you missed that comforting back hug after a long day at work and the affectionate ear nibbles while cuddling together. you missed the intimate moments, you missed having someone else in the house. you missed having emotional support, as well as a financial one. while hoseok seemingly frolicked with his younger, sexy girlfriend, you were in the studio all day to make sure your daughter has what she needs to have a healthy childhood without a father. and you weren’t even sure if you were doing it right.
the idea of divorce will never be something a child can digest completely without having questions. hell, it’s not even something an adult can handle without asking questions. seyoung would often wonder out loud about why daddy was hanging out with a second mommy and why the two of you didn’t live with daddy anymore; why the two of you had to downsize and move away. embarrassingly enough, your daughter told her friends about how her parents live in separate houses, thinking it was impressive that she had two houses.
“great. yebin’s really been eager to see seyoung again. i think the two of them are really getting along nicely.” hoseok explained, making things worse in an attempt to break the ice.
“that’s great. i'm glad seyoung’s taking a liking to yebin.” oh, how you wanted to hiss that you hoped she wouldn’t replace you with yebin the way he did.
“you know, you’re reacting to this better than i thought you would,” he replied. bad move.
“i don’t know how you want me to react, hoseok. maybe, it’s because i haven’t heard from you in three months.” you spat, angry that he even dared to say something like that. what did he mean? did he think you’d welcome yebin, his mistress, the woman he cheated on you with, with open arms? did he think you’d take a liking to yebin the way seyoung did? unfortunately, that’s not how infidels get treated. you two were a team, he randomly got up and joined the opposition, leaving you alone to play the game of life by yourself.
“you’re right,” he admitted. “i should’ve called or text, but you know how my job is and—“
“i'm sure if you had enough time to go clubbing with yebin you have enough time to spend two hours with your daughter. hoseok, i will support you in almost everything, but you need to be a part of seyoung's life — and seeing her once in a blue moon won’t leave a lasting memory of you in her childhood.”
he sighed. you could imagine him habitually rubbing his eyes with one hand before running it over his hair; he shakes his head when he doesn’t have anything left to say. the muffled sound of a woman voice sounded from the other line, making you roll your eyes.
“i get what you’re saying. i... i need to go right now, but i promise we’ll come and see you guys soon. bye.” he completely shook off your conversation and it made you angry. how could he disregard something so important?
“of course you do.” you muttered bitterly before the line went dead. fortunately for you, you’d just returned home, allowing you to frantically throw your groceries on the kitchen island and drown yourself in what sorrow he caused you.
it had started off like a dream. the two of you had met in your third year of college, him a business and economics major and you a music production major with a minor in audio and sound engineering. you’d bumped into each other at a banal frat party — one neither of you really wanted to be at. he began boasting about his dog back at home, making you erupt in giggles and inch closer and closer towards him as the night grew older. the two of you eventually left the crowded house together, not going to someone’s place, but rather to a local noodle bar, the midnight empty tables and sentient music a great transition from the pounding music and lack of personal space of the party. he joked about how he was never amazing at talking to people, especially women, so he was surprised that you managed to stick around with him for this long — a new record, to quote him directly. his warm aura kept you snug from the cold night, and he eventually took you home, dropping you safely to your apartment. after that night was over, you began to notice him more and more on campus, like a bright color in a mellow painting.
one day, out of the blue, he drunkenly confessed his feelings for you. ironically enough, the same people had hosted a party in the same frat house a year later. with his intoxicated body pressed up the wall next to you and the thought that you were someone else, he moaned about how much he likes you but you never seem to pick up on his advances. the days following sprouted conversation after conversation regarding relationships, and eventually, the two of you decided to date. you felt as if you were on the top of the world, as if there was nothing stopping you anymore. after you graduated, the two of you rented an apartment together and entered the job market, taking steps together. and, three years later, you asked him to marry you. right in the middle of pasta night, while you were watching the little mermaid together.
he named seyoung. you can remember exactly when the two of you decided on her name; when you first held seyoung in your arms and the two of you gently admired her perfection. he kissed behind your ear and whispered, “seyoung. eternal.”
the three of you were like the three musketeers, and life was a never-ending spiral of fun. you were happy, so happy that you were afraid it would go away. it was perfect: you’d wake up to your loving husband snoring softly beside you with your baby girl giggling happily in her crib, watching the spinning sheep on her crib mobile with glee. every single day, the same cycle, but somehow, your family taught you a new feeling of happiness each day.
you hate this part. of course, all good things come to an end. they have to, because the bad is what reminds you how lucky you are to have the good. you’d thought life was great. seyoung was a very likable toddler according to her preschool teachers, hoseok had recently gotten a promotion, and your career finally felt like it was going somewhere. you’d recently been hired at bighit, working for their new group, txt.
it was around twelve in the morning. you’d gotten home late because your team had finished mapped txt’s first mini-album, the dream chapter: star. pulling your coat closer to your frame as you stepped towards your door, you prayed hoseok had put seyoung to sleep. you’d told him that you’d be coming home as late as three in the morning, not knowing exactly how long it would take to decide how many songs would make it onto the album, as some potential songs were songs meant for other groups that were eventually scrapped.
you entered quietly, the door creaking at your attempt to open it silently. you weren’t very observant of your surroundings; truthfully, you just wanted to kiss your baby’s forehead and collapse into your bed. kicking off your shoes, you placed your bag on the coffee table, sighing before trudging towards your shared bedroom. it hit you like bricks — you weren’t paying attention to any noises, you weren’t living a cliché romance movie scene, it was completely unexpected. when you pushed open your bedroom door, a nude woman, lean and visibly younger, was rolling her hips on top of your husband’s bare form. it had taken a second to even register: what’s going on? who is she? am i dreaming? yet your silent thoughts were proven wrong as her head turned in fear to see you standing there, silhouette in the doorframe. she swung her leg over hoseok, pulling on the covers as her body fell next to him on the bed.
that was your spot.
hoseok sat up, eyes wide with fear. “(y/n)… i… this-” he scrambled, thousands of excuses flying through his mind as to why he was just caught hooking up with his assistant. someone you, for one, trusted.
you, like him, were at a loss for words. your soul felt as though someone had ripped it from your chest and slammed it to the ground, trampling on it bitterly. you turned your head, seeing your baby girl sleeping soundly in her crib. one thing remained stable while your entire world came crashing down onto you, and it was her breathing, chest rising and falling rhythmically, eyes fluttering.
you nearly slammed the door in fury, turning and sliding down against it, trying to catch your breath. you’d never faced this type of pain before, you didn’t know what to do. there was so much to lose and so little to gain.
your mother had always taught you to not take any shit from anyone, especially not a man. you tuned out the begs and pleads and cries for you to stay with him and stood your ground on a divorce. ‘it won’t happen again’ has proven itself to be a white lie time and time again. you’d gained custody of your child, and hoseok gained all of the freedom the world could allow. it was as if he was young again.
it’s not that life was all bad for you after the divorce; crown, the song you’d mainly produced with the help of others became a huge hit in korea, festering hundreds of millions of views and charting #1s worldwide. your company credited you along with a couple other coworkers as the reason for txt’s success in the west. and, as txt continued to grow in popularity, so did your paycheck. you were a wildly successful single mom, fearless on the outside, getting there on the inside.
fast forward to now: you, single mother, barely getting by mentally, struggling with things your daughter is too young to understand. your husband, living a carefree life with his young mistress, the only connection between him and his ex-wife being his child support fund. you didn’t envy him, but you envied his happiness.
trying to kill time, a piece of toast hanging from your mouth, you opened your laptop, an email from seyoung’s teacher popping into your inbox. it read,
“ hello parents of wonderful third graders! welcome to (or welcome back to) yooseong elementary!
my name is mr. jeon jungkook, and i have the great honor of having your kids this year. i know that the school year has only recently started, but i’d love to get to know all of you soon! attached to this email are my parent hours along with the introduction handout i gave my students on friday, just in case any of your little stars misplaced it or haven’t shown it to you yet. i’d like for you to sign it and have your child turn it in on monday to ensure that we’re all on the same page! i hope all of you are just as excited for your child’s school year as i am.
again, if any of you need to contact me for any reason, please shoot me an email at this address! i’ll respond as soon as i can.
thank you,
mr. jeon ”
his enthusiasm made you smile. nothing comes before seyoung’s happiness, and if seyoung has a teacher which loves his job as much as you love her, that’s all the satisfaction you need. you’re glad, and somewhat relieved, that when you’re not around, seyoung is in great hands.
quickly writing him back and thanking him for sending the handout seyoung has yet to show you, you closed the tab, scrolling through a news article about txt’s unfinished success story, refreshing your mind on what you already knew about the boys, and chuckling at what facts they got wrong. as you continued to read through the article, an advertisement on the sidebar caught your eye. now, normally, you’re not one to pay attention to them. you’re more of the type to frown at them and spam-click the ‘x’ in the corner until it eventually vanishes. this one was different.
an advertisement for a singles support group, offering a place for your voice to be heard, and, well, support.
you hesitated, wondering if you’d be paired with a group of adults with more emotional issues than time per session. reminding yourself of how hoseok’s actions combined with the consistent stress of your job and raising seyoung threatens your sanity on a day to day basis, you put that voice on mute, and promptly clicked away, this time clicking on the ad instead of the ‘x’.
after all, anything for seyoung.

Awaken the World (oneshot)
Pairing: Wayv Ten (Nct Ten) x Reader
Word count: 11k im sorry
Warnings: smutty smut, pure filth, Ten is an alien with two dicks... that’s it, that’s the warning, mention of suicide, (keep in mind, this is a fiction and has nothing to do with real people in real life, also, use protection!!!)
*new Years party*
-You deserve a break from time to time, Y/N, - Trish said while talking to you, - besides, you rarely go out, it feels like you are stuck in that apartment of yours.
-I know, I know, you and Shin always tell me that, give me an hour and I will be ready, ok?
-Yes, we will get a taxi and let’s go!!!
Your friend hung up and you went straight for the bathroom to get ready. It was unusual for you to go out, but you did like it from time to time. What you didn’t like in fact was the “gropers” as you called them. People who randomly grab other people, it did not matter how drunk were they, it’s just one of the things that you disliked, and your body proportions did not help either. Being tall and curvy (can be any other description, remember Y/N has a variety), always gave you peoples glares and staring, which did not pay any compliment at all, it made you more insecure.
What if people stare cause I’m ugly?
That was always there in your head, but your friends reminded you it is not like that, they stare because you are gorgeous.
*La Wanderlust club* two hours prior.
-Jack, I don’t think we can do that, - Michel spoke softly, he was new to the business and this was the first time he was about to do something bad.
-They will pay us near hundred grand for every girl, I ain’t gonna lose that money, if you do not participate you might as well leave.
Michel bit his lip, he knew this was bad, and if ever anyone finds out, they will all go to prison, but money like that did not grow on trees, and despite the fact, that their club was doing great, extra money for themselves for a “tiny” thing like that, would not be so bad.
-Fine, - he finally spoke, - I will do it.
Couple of hours later the club was getting busier, girls, loners and couples kissing in the booths that they provided. Everyone having a drink in their hands, enjoying themselves. Michel checked the pills under the bar, in total just 10 pills. Ten girls.
Tonight he will spike drinks for ten girls, and later send them away, no questions asked, spike the drinks and get the girls in the back on the club until the buyer collects them.
Shin was the first to drag you to the bar.
-Cosmos for the girls!!! – she nearly shouted while Michel prepared your drinks. He was watching you all carefully, thinking about who’s drink to spike. It was a hard decision, he was not yet able to make, so all the pills stayed where they were.
A couple hours later Trish was dancing with a random stranger while you were sipping coke by yourself at the corner, your eyes looking Shin who said will be back after she went for a fag. You felt a light tap on your shoulder.
-Hey, sexy, want a drink? – a stranger asked you, he could barely stand on his feet. Michel was fast to approach you and take you to bar.
-Annoying, huh? – he asked, and you nodded. – Anything to drink at all?
-Yeah, uhm, gin with tonic, please, - you said and gave the bartender bank card, while you turned around to spot your friends, he smoothly put one of the pills I your drink. In fact, that was the last pill. His brothers had already taken the other girls to the back, stripping them from their ID’s and purses, putting them in separate boxes.
Their buyer said they will sort It out themselves, so the guys do not have to worry about anything.
The dizziness hit you like a brick and two minutes later you were dragged away, your friends both busy with their newfound partners (always make sure your friends are not like this, yeah? They should care about your well being as well as their own), not noticing how you go missing, in front of their eyes. You were half asleep, half awake, you felt how you got thrown on the ground, and your beating heart knew nothing good will come out of this, but your body was shutting down faster than you could react.
You were out cold when the buyer got here, paying the bar owners huge money, taking your belongings as well as all ten bodies, putting them in a trunk, driving to a different place. They gave all girls sedative to keep you out for the hours needed. You were being prepared for an exceptionally long drive, far, far away from home.
Noticing lights further down the road, the buyers didn’t waste no more time and drove to where your destiny would start.
Up on the entrance pass code was required, which was sent to one of the buyer’s phones, the gate opened and what looked like some sort of “space station” was waiting for them. A big looking fella greeted them when they got out of the van.
-I assume you did well, - one of them spoke, as he was approaching with a bag full of cash.
-Yes, just like you wanted, there is ten of them, you can check if they are your liking, - buyers face smirked. Truth to be told, the “big man” did not care at all, the girls would probably look a lot different after quite a while, but it was none of his concerns. He had a hand in this business for a very long time and no one had ever suspected a thing.
Traveling from country to country, every five years some girls go missing? Who cares! People go missing every day. Business is running like normal.
Buyers unloaded the package and left with the cash, while “big man” made sure they were far away from sight before the center of the building ground opened, a platform moving higher until a spaceship was spotted. Opening the doors, he entered, taking the girls in one by one, taking of their shoes, putting on something that looked like a onesie of someone who works in a chop shop, smearing their make up with wet wipes so they looked ruined, make up running down like that.
Not that his clients needed their faces to look good anyways.
Walking through the ship towards the controls he noticed that an error had come up.
“ERROR 401, assistance needed, fuel tank”, to what he checked and decided it still would be enough for the journey, and if his clients will require some more of the product transported, they will provide him fuel generously.
-Safe journey, - he whispered before setting the coordinates and walking out, securing all bodies, making sure the spaceship is set for its destination. Walking back and starting the system up he fare welled with a bow and watched how the spaceship disappeared into the sky with a speed of lighting. This would be the last time you would be seen at all, and he had no regrets. A smile formed on his lips and a yawn; it had been a long day preparing. Time to rest.
*10043567901;1102033149001. PLANET DYVLONY*
Detective Ten pulled his spent cock out of his partners mouth, smirking.
-What a good girl you’ve been, - he said, while wiping her smeared lips with his thumb, his sperm glistening on her chin, - but I have one more in need of a touch.
His partners eyes widened noticing that instead of a one graceful phallus, he indeed (as the rumors had said) had been gifted with a second one, which even with one glance was visibly thicker and more veiny than the other.
She licked her lips in anticipation.
-Get on all fours for me, lovely, will you, - she did as Ten told her to, and soon her entrance was filled to the brim with just one thrust. Ten was still wearing all his clothing while his partner was borne down to nothing. She mewled at Ten’s sharp pelvic movements and thanked him for each slap she received. His hands moved to grope her breasts and pinch her nipples, while his thrusts never stopped. Her core was clenching, she was close, but Ten would not have this. He pulled out, grabbing a hold of the ceiling chain and tying her hands, pulling her up in standing position, before she even could comprehend a sentence to somewhat – bastard, how dare you!
His interrogation room, which normally was used to invest in pains of criminals, was now used for the pleasure of sex, and Ten spanked his partners bottom, he swatted away her bare cheeks till they were red in color, and the sounds his partner was making, didn’t make no sense. Ten lifted her leg up, and found her opening with his fingers, two of them making their way inside her body, thrusting as fast as he could manage, finishing her off within a minute, but before riding her orgasm, pushing his cock in her again, till tears were streaming down her face.
-I cccaaa…nntttt… - she was trying to say, but Ten would not stop, she was climaxing again, her core muscles milking Ten for all he’s worth, his hands letting her leg down, and his front pressing against her back.
His cum was leaking down her thighs, together with her essence, both of them breathing heavily. He whispered.
-So, is it true what they say about me? – he smirked against her shoulder. While trying to come up with a proper sentence, his partner turned to face him, she stood 6`1 tall, - taller than him by all means and, bit her lip.
-Ah, you know what, - she whispered, - you are not too bad.
Ten laughed.
-You could not even say anything five minutes ago, so I take that as a lie, - he said, setting her down on the ground, letting the chains rest on the floor, before securing them up again, Ten zipped up his pants.
-There is a shower, you can clean up.
-Well, - his partner spoke up, - you do suck at aftercare.
With that she stood up and left to where Ten had pointed to. Ten was all she wanted in a man, he was fearless, strong, good at what he does, and yes, oh yes, great at sex, but she knew this would be the first and last time they would sleep together, which does not even count as sleeping together, it was just raw fucking, her abused cunt convulsing around nothing imagining how great it was.
Dressing up, she was greeted by Ten, who as a gentleman he was, had opened the car door, where he would put a seatbelt on her, give her a bottle of juice, driving her to the town. His phone went off.
-ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!
Ten put the phone on speaker.
-Detective Ten, this is Xiao Dejun from the High court, there has been a crash at the GYPE beach, and it has been secured by SWAT teams who have cleared the area, we are waiting for you and your colleagues to arrive, it is an emergency. Sir, are you alone?
-I will be in a couple of minutes, - Ten stopped the car and gave the woman a sympathetic look, before she stepped out of the vehicle and slammed the door, well, at least it was not his face, she slammed. – I am now.
-It is…, - Xiao Dejun stopped before continuing, - it is a spaceship, we are on a high alert now, I am surprised no one had called you.
-I was occupied elsewhere, no one dared to trouble me, but I will be with you ASAP.
-See you soon then.
Couple of minutes later Detective Ten parked his car and was trying to get through the public crowds and reporters, who were trying to catch a glimpse of what is happening. Ten showed his V card as soon as he was approaching the secured area. It was crowded with SWAT teams of all sorts. White, none see through plastic covering all around the area, police teams in full gears and weapons. Ten stepped inside.
It was dusty, the ships landing must have created a sandstorm of some sort, the spaceship itself was covered in dust, the electronics on the other side being ripped apart from the intact with ground, the wires spiking an electric volt from time to time.
-What are we seeing here? – Ten asked, when he was approached by High Court man, Dejun in front.
-We were waiting for you, you have worked with anomalies like this, so we are in need of your assistance with this.
As they talked, they had approached the entrance of the aircraft, as they had assumed. As a detective, Ten had come across various forms of UFO’s that had probably drifted away from their main coordinates, but they had always kept things from public eye, since it was nothing harmful, just something that had proved they are not the only ones in universe.
The fire rescue team were waiting for a signal to cut the door out, the SWAT teams ready to shoot at any point, officers from the station were Ten works, standing next in line after SWAT team. Ten put on a west and secured his weapon. Putting his hand up, two fingers signaling for action, fireman cutting down the metal door, taking it out, putting ladder board to the entrance, he was ready to enter first.
Slowly moving towards the entrance, careful as they could, detective Ten with two swat members went in. Sweeping the aircraft bit by bit (since it was quite small), shouting -CLEAR, after checking every corner they spotted, moving forward until they reached a clearance, where they stopped, eyes widening.
-What the… - Ten spoke, in front of their eyes was bodies of girls/women, dressed in weird clothing, but it didn’t seem like they would be able to operate this aircraft. Ten spotted a movement, approaching straight away, putting his gun down and checking the pulse of the girl. Both SWAT members ready to shoot if she would attack the guy.
-We need ambulance, - he shouted, realizing that they are alive, but not in the “mood to fight” and heard the response teams through microphones, soon the medics were there, untying girl bodies, ushering them in ambulances, sending them away to a secret facility that lies below the High court for special occasions such as this. Teams provided with extreme medical equipment, wearing full gear, in case this was some sort of diversion, or something far more dangerous or poisonous for that matter, were ready to start working as soon as the bodies would arrive.
Once the ship was cleared, detective Ten with some of his teammates, were doing the “detective work”.
-Does not look like they were supposed to crash here, - one of them said, - coordinates are not ours.
-There is a glitch in the system, - Ten said, - but to check what is that this ship is in need of fixing.
-Like hell it is, - other one said, - this is nothing like ours, Ten, it is probably near to impossible changing any parts, this is not as advanced as ours, if we could find a clue to where it comes from, that would be a record.
-I know, but you also know how good I am at my job.
-Detective Ten? – he turned around to see High court man coming in his direction.
-How may I help?
-We will move this aircraft to a different facility, location we will let you know once it will be secured, we need to make this as clean as we can, is that right?
Ten and his teammates nodded.
-Of course, sir, - Ten bowed, and cleared the ship.
-We should be heading back, detective, - his mates said before leaving, Ten’s phone rang at the same time.
-Detective Ten speaking.
-You should come to High court, there will be a member of staff to greet you and take you to us, they are coming to their senses.
Ten nodded and hang up. Soon enough he was going down the elevator with a member of staff, going lower than Ten had imagined of how deep the facility was build. And how?
-Detective, - Xiao Dejun greeted him, taking him though corridors, - so far, we have discovered all of the bodies are female, we are checking their health balance as we speak, they are definitely from another place, even Planet… so we have given them an injection of microchip, and also a vaccine, looks like they have taken them well. Also, since we do not know why they are here, do not think of this being uncivil, when they have not given us any answers either.
Ten ached a brow.
-You’ll see, - Dejun opened the door. On a high platform was ten chairs, all girls seated on them, tied up, all looking scared as ever, - and if you can get a criminal to talk, I assume this will be a piece of cake for you.
Ten smiled and nodded. Oh yes. He would enjoy this.
-Greetings, aliens, - Ten said walking towards the platform, none of the girls said anything back. – I am Detective Ten, and I will ask you some questions, if you do not answer there will be consequences, and I am sure none of you would like the ones I have in my mind.
You were shaking in your chair. You had no idea where you were, why were you tied up, how you came to this, and the detectives look was even more terrifying, especially his smirk.
He stood in front of one girl.
-Who are you? – when she didn’t respond, Ten walked over to the girl next to her and slapped her hard across the face. You jumped in your seat.
-Let me make this clear, if I ask, you answer, if you don’t answer, I make sure the person next to you pays for it, clear?
You and others nodded. A tear slipped from the corner of your eyes. Ten walked over to the girl next to you. Which meant- is she did not answer, he would slap you in return.
-Why are you here? – detective asked again, it looked like she was trying to formulate a sentence but trying to speak was getting difficult. The language felt strange on her tongue, the microchip that was planted, was only now starting to work. The question was understood, but to speak was a difficulty.
Not satisfied with “no answer”, detective was striding towards you with his hand ready, but before he could smack you, you found your voice and shouted loud and clear.
-I WILL TELL YOU ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW, - and then you went quiet, Ten leaned closer, - just don’t hit me, o-o-o-or anyone, p-p-please.
The tears you had felt frozen in place, and the saliva in your throat seemed to dry out too fast. The stare the detective was giving you, sent chills through your body.
-Who are you? – he asked.
Your throat was dry, and you couldn’t speak. Ten took this as a sign for water, he knew this face well after a long session of sinful pleasures, even his mouth was dry at some point. He was handed a glass, that he put to your lips and gave you a small sip. A little bit of water dripping down the corner of your lips. Ten’s cock twitched in his pants. His previous activities coming to mind.
-My name is Y/N, - you stated.
-Who are you, Y/N? – detective continued.
You were thinking to yourself- what do I say? Who am I, really?
-I am a regular girl, - you said, detective eye-level with you.
-And?
Ten was pushing you for answers, and you were trying hard, really trying, he walked to the girl before you and smacked her, since you had not given an answer.
One of the girls started sobbing, and Ten went to her.
-Who are you? – she sniffled, and tried to speak, Ten gave her water as well.
-I am Anna, - she spoke softly, trying not to cry, - I c-cannot remember…
Ten turned to Dejun.
-Had they been on drugs?
-Here is a report, - Dejun’s assistant handed Ten a piece of paper, various blood tests showed signs of unknown supplement in their blood. Even their blood was nothing they had ever seen. DNA looked completely anomaly, compared to theirs.
-We were trying to make a sample, but it was too fast to clear from their blood stream.
Ten nodded, thinking to himself. He looked at all girls, eyeing them carefully. They were female. Why would someone send females to attack? He checked photos of the girl naked bodies, curves and a bit of chubby thighs, so they were not sent to war, fighters have fair share of muscles, which none of these girls possessed. Their bodies were free from poison, so they were not sent here… or not meant to land here in the first place.
-I need to see the ship, - detective Ten spoke, - for now, leave them here, I will be back as soon as I can.
With that he left the building together with Dejun’s assistant.
The facility was located a few miles from the GYPE beach, the ship cleared from all the dust, all parts, that had broken apart, next to the ship. Engineers were working to recover any sort of information to help them.
-Detective Ten, this is the engineering team A, specializing in UFO’s, you have worked with them in past, - a man in his fifties shook hands with Ten. -My name is Leon Yah, I am their team leader.
-Yes, I remember, anything yet?
-A little bit, - the man said, taking Ten closer to the team. – This is Jungwoo, one of our best new mechanical engineers and biochemists, he is helping us with this case, - Leon proudly presented Jungwoo, even putting his hands on the guys shoulder, - tell them what you know.
-So, I found a piece of electrics that I actually can use to pinpoint the location this ship came from, it carries the information, sort of like the black box, if you will. It is trying to get it now, so, then at least we might get a clue, what is the reason for crashing here, or any info at all.
Two beeps later, Jungwoo was the first to run towards his computer.
-Just what I though, - he said and then stopped, - what? How is this possible?
-What’s that? – Ten asked.
-There are fragments similar to CASE 101, 1992… but I have no idea of what that is.
-Whatever do you mean? – Ten asked, seeing Jungwoo’s face expresion, and the team leader Leon came closer.
-A while ago there was similar crash, only partly one, there was a ship that contained 2 people, and at that time we came across a different DNA, using one of the bodies, one of the females died, and the other…
-What’s with the other? – Jungwoo asked surprised, he had not heard of this.
-The other is my mother, - detective Ten spoke.
Jungwoo’s jaw went slack, he could not say a word. How had he not heard of this? This is important information.
-At that time, your mother told us, she was sent as a prostitute, because when she got drugged, she hadn’t used alcohol, so she was half awake when it all happened. And your father as a doctor, made sure she was taken care of. I remember that, as if it was yesterday…
“And fucked her like a prostitute he thought she was,” Ten gritted his teeth thinking about this.
-And a few years later I was born, half human half DYVLONY, - detective Ten never liked this part of the story, first of all, who knew, humans could carry a DYVLONY child, even be able to copulate in the first place, also, that is why he was born different. - Could they all be human females then?
-They might be, there is documents about your mother, that could be used to identify if they indeed are human, also maybe there is still metal research of the previous aircraft, that we could use. They should be with the High court, I will ring Xiao Dejun and let him know.
Jungwoo was checking through the information that he had received and sighed. For him this was indeed the first-time seeing UFO and hearing about different species gave him a weird tingle.
-This ship was not crafted by humans, that’s for sure.
-How can you bee certain? – Ten asked.
-If we do not possess this sort of metal, I do not think there is a possibility that this would come from humans, maybe the older report had more on that.
Yes, humans. Fragile creatures. Ten sighed, his mom was human, but heck she was strong woman, whom he loved dearly, and his father, who might have taken her for the wrong reasons, later fell in love and married her.
Team leader came back a few minutes later, giving the papers of what they had discovered to Ten, so he could get back to High court.
Stepping through the threshold, Ten was greeted by the ten females again, all still sat on the chairs provided, all still looking scared, but a bit more relaxed. After checking the papers about his own mother, Ten came across the idea of these females being sent to a different Planet as whores, the same as his mother once was. He just needed some answers to see if it is true.
-How did you end up in the aircraft? – Ten spoke, this time more softly.
-All I remember is me and my friends on a night out, - one girl spoke. You nodded, you remembered that as well.
-I had a drink, and then… - other one spoke, your memories were there as well, you remembered being dragged to the back.
-They took our identification, - you spoke, - and that is all I remember.
-I cannot even remember that, - another girl said, - I wish I didn’t drink that much.
Ten left together with Xiao Dejun to have a chat about further actions.
-It is clear that they were meant to be sent somewhere else, and they are harmless, - Ten said.
-What do you think we do?
-The same as thirty years ago, - he said, - we take them into our community, make sure they are taken care of, and see where it goes.
-How?
-I propose, we put each female together with a person who would take care of them, teach them our culture and see.
-Yeah, true, it’s not like putting them in prison, they are not criminals, - Dejun agreed.
-What about members of society council? There is plenty of men capable, - when Ten said those words he nearly choked, he knew half of the council would have them girls eagle spread on their beds in less then twenty hours, and he would be one of them.
-And you? – Xiao asked, Ten nodded, - let’s ask and see, shall we?
Two days later, all females were dressed in casual clothing, they were cleaned and fed, taught a few things about ownership, since that’s what they would be, OWNED. That meant that the household they would stay in, would have their own rules to follow.
You were anxious. Who are you going home with? Before your parting, all of you had a small chat, just expressing your worries and fears, since this was not exactly a trip to Maldives, or a trip in general. Besides, you were not friends, you were bunch of randomly selected girls for prostitution.
-I hope he will be nice, - Anna spoke, and then the thought of you going away with some random men started to scare you. It could go two ways, either way nice or, he would treat you like shit. All these men want is just one thing, which with your lack of experience would be -nothing. If he even would dare to touch you, you’d probably kick him in the balls, run away and hide.
At that point it didn’t seem like a bad idea, oh boy, how wrong you were.
You were the last one waiting for the person to pick you up. You never got to see who was here to collect other girls, so it was possible, that you would not see any of them again. Not unless, the person who you are going home, could tell you were they are.
Minutes turned to hours, your palms were sweaty, your heart was beating fast until…
-Miss Y/N, - you nearly jumped out of your body upon hearing your name. You stood up and walked through the door. – There is a paperwork to get signed and you should be able to leave as soon as it is done.
Next thing you know, detective Ten walks through the door.
-Ready? – his gaze found yours within seconds. Surely there must be a mistake… no way you are going home with this crazy dude… When he was in front of you, you realized that you must have spaced out, but detectives face looked like he was about to hit you.
-Ah, yes, - you managed to speak. He handed you paper where you had to sign, and after you followed him, no questions asked. When he opened the car for you, you sat down, Ten put a seatbelt on you, got in the drivers seat, started the engine and got going. It was silence. Long silence.
-So… - you wanted to start a conversation, and turned to your new “legal guardian”, he put his hand up and you put your hand on your mouth to shut it, turning your head to the other side, feeling the tears threatening to fall, he was about to smack you. So, he was abusive… oh no.
-Let’s make some things clear, - he started in a low voice, - you do not speak when you are not spoken to, no asking questions, you will not get any answers, make sure not to be in my way, when I leave for work, you do not leave the house at any point. Understood?
You nodded.
-I need words, Y/N, - he said it in clear language, even though normally people struggle with your name pronunciation.
-Yes, - you said quietly.
-Yes what? – he re-asked.
-I do not know, - you said your voice smaller than before.
-Call me Ten, better yet sir, if you wish, that’s more polite, yes?
-Yes, Ten, - you spoke in barely a whisper. Minutes later Ten turned left and you approached his house. Once inside the garage, Ten helped you out of the car, and you took in your surroundings. Everything was neat. Things on shelves, DIY items, you could not spot a dust anywhere. You noticed doors with password access, wondering what could be there, but were cut short with Ten waiting for you at other doors, which were the entrance to the house.
-You can walk through the whole house to see what’s where, but do not disturb me when I work, also since I am a detective, there is a few things you do not need to know or see. I will show you to your room.
You followed behind keeping your mouth shut. You did not want to anger a guy who was abusive, it terrified you to the bone, so you better stayed quiet. Your room was simple, it contained a bed and a nightstand next to it, the bedding was white, like half of the things in his house. There was a wardrobe, which was empty.
-There is a passage to bathroom, I will get you a towel, give me a second, - Ten walked inside, coming back with a towel, putting it on your bed. – how do you sleep?
-Huh?
Ten bit the inside of his cheek. His patience was running thin, the whole idea of a female staying at his house was somewhat disturbing, but also alluring in some way. Maybe soon he could have you tied up in his interrogation room, naked, pussy dripping and ass on display, he licked his lips.
“What is he thinking about? Pervert!” you thought to yourself.
-What do you wear?
If you were on Earth, you would crack a joke how you would sleep naked, but this was not the place or time to do so.
-Pajamas, - you answered, - really, it’s just shirt and trousers, - something more on, god know what this guy could be up to! Duh! Your brain signaled crazy thoughts.
-Ok, I will get you some, - with that he disappeared. You felt like you were in boarding school, not that you had a clue to what that feels like, but hey, imagination. You sat on the bed, your eyes were threatening you with tears that were gathering, but you looked up and thanked the gods for that you were alive. Could have been worse. You could have been sent to another Planet and could have been sold to some asshole as a whore.
Alright, he might not be the nicest guy, but he is providing you with a place to live so you were grateful. For the time being, once you figure out how to get away.
Ten was just about to get his car keys and go to store, when he received a message from Xiao Dejun. They used to be students, going to the same school when they were kids, as hard as it was for Ten, Dejun was always there to protect him, so they became friends.
-A video? – Ten said to himself and transferred the video to his tablet, - I will watch it when I come back.
With that he left. Once you heard the door being locked, you got up from the bed and went to explore. Passing by Ten’s room, you noticed it was not personal, there was no pictures, but at least he had a plant. A very weird looking one, but still a plant. Walking further through the house, you went in the kitchen. There was a tablet left on the table, you didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but walking past it caught your eye. It lit up, a video had been received and you checked if no one was watching you, and pressed “play”.
-??? – what you saw, made you question if the girls that got drugged were actual prostitutes. High court magistrate Xiao Dejun was balls deep in Anna and looked like she was enjoying it as much as he was. But she left only what, like two hours before you?! What the actual fuck was going on? Was this expected of you? To give your body to some alien? Did detective Ten fancy some good old human-alien pussy or what?
-Guess what, he ain’t getting nothing! – you nearly shouted, not noticing how detective Ten was right behind you.
-Getting what?
You jumped, before turning around, not even looking him in the eye.
-Getting what? I asked you a question!
-Uhm, nothing, sir, - you managed. Your back was covering the tabled, the video left on “pause”, as if nothing has happened, you had not seen nothing.
-Were you watching that? – detective Ten asked and you nodded a “no”, did not have to be a detective to see how your eyes darted elsewhere but him to know that you were lying, - I won’t tolerate liars.
Was he about to smack you? You couldn’t really tell, one thing for certain, he was not pleased.
-Let me ask you again, - he warned, - were you watching the video, that is my private property, and you did it without any permission?
You nodded your head. You felt like being scolded by your parents.
-I need words when I ask you question!
-Yes, sir, - you said quietly.
-Turn around, - he ordered, and you looked up at him as to ask “huh?”.
-Was I not clear? – he said again, - turn around, - so you did. – press play and watch the video.
Only then you noticed the length of it. A solid hour… You pressed “play” and closed your eyes. Ten didn’t see that you had closed your eyes. When moans and slapping sounds echoed through the kitchen you were trying not to cringe. Behind you, detective Ten was near enough grabbing his own crotch to relieve some stress, but he needed to punish you first.
-Are you getting wet listening to them? – you thought “what the fuck”, - I bet you are. Dirty girl, cannot wait for me to do that to you, yeah?
You were biting your lips in hopes of him stopping talking. On Earth you would have turned around, smacked the asshole and told him to fuck himself. Here… uhm, you stand and wait. A whoosh reached your bottom cheeks. A smack so loud, louder than the video being played, had reached you. You jumped and opened your eyes.
-How do you like it? – he was so close, you felt his breath on your neck, he smacked you again, groping your ass, - you are a good girl, aren’t you? Letting your hair down, biting your lip, teasing your partner just to see a reaction, well then, baby, I am all yours, besides, I have something others do not possess.
Your eyes were bulging out from your eye sockets. Was he dirty- talking you in sleeping with him? How to politely decline? Yikes.
-I apologize for watching this video, and I won’t do that again, I promise, - you stated, getting out of detectives grasp and running to your room, leaving Ten in the kitchen with growing tent in his trousers, squinting his eyes, trying to figure out what just happened.
His dirty talk always works, so why it had not affected you?
You were no virgin, but your past experiences were not the best either, so might as well count yourself as a reborn virgin. You were not the type of person to sleep with someone just like that, it just was not your thing. Being on a different Planet does not help either. Remembering how magistrate Xiao was even able to fit in Anna’s delicate body, had your body shutting down, ah a migraine was on its way.
You would think about that all night.
Duh.
Ten didn’t return, at least you didn’t hear him. Only later he came by your door to announce that dinner was ready.
-It’s not much, since I don’t know what you eat, it’s spicy though, - ha warned, you thanked him and sat down, having the first spoonful only small, in case it was something you would not be able to eat. He was studying you, there must be something about you, there was no chance he had lost his charms.
The food was fire.
Your run to the sink was so fast, Ten burst out laughing.
-You eat this? – you cried, pouring cold water on your tongue.
-Too spicy? – he giggled, you would have laughed as well, if it didn’t burn your mouth or lips.
-This is poison!!! – you still kept watering your mouth, while Ten continued eating. When you sat back down, your face red and puffy as if you just had an allergic reaction, Ten looked up at you, standing up and walking towards the cupboards, he opened one up.
-What of this can you eat? – he started a conversation.
You turned around and saw something similar to oats.
-Do you have milk?
Ten opened the fridge. At least a porridge, that will do, nothing much, but hopefully will be edible.
Few moments later you were enjoying a porridge that actually tasted like porridge.
-I bought you clothes, - Ten said, - left them in a bag by your door.
-Thank you, - you stated, and Ten didn’t incline that he was angry with you for not addressing him “sir” like you were meant to. You washed the dishes and went back to your room. Opening the bag detective had left you, surprised laugh left your mouth. He had bought you jumpers and trousers, shirts and even a couple of underwear, at least you though that was an underwear, some holes missing, he must have bought them from somewhat “kinky” section.
From time to time you started to hear screams, loud, so loud, you could not sleep. Turns out, Ten as a detective did quite a lot of methods in catching criminals, that no one knew about. Forbidden methods, the ones, you cannot use, if you work for police task force. He assured you, that it is nothing to worry about, but how can you not?
-It just sounded like someone was about to die, - you stated at the dinner table, chewing on your porridge.
-I did tell you not to ask questions… - Ten warned.
-I don’t, - you talked back, - it’s a statement of the sounds I heard.
-You wanna see how I do business? – Ten offered, - I can take you downstairs and show you how I deal with criminals.
-No, thank you, - you turned around, going to sink and washing your bowl.
-Come on, don’t be scared now, I will show you, - to be true, Ten wanted you to see what happens if you become a perp. Also, that would work as a warning in case you want to do something that Ten would not approve of, like- running away, which, you have thought of every night before going to sleep.
Ten dragged you downstairs, typed the code for the other doors, which you were curious about, and you stepped inside.
Blue colors, chains from the ceilings, a table further down, your eyes had to get used to the lighting, until you spotted a chair, before looking around to see other “interesting” instruments, that gave you creeps. Ten walked further, opening a cupboard, taking out and loading a gun, pointing it at you.
-What the… - you choked on your saliva, - uhm, are you doing?
-You know what this is? – he asked, still pointing a gun at you, you nodded. – this is paralyzer. Guess what it does?
-Paralyzes people? – you asked in a small voice.
Someone coughed, diverting your attention, turning around, you noticed the criminal, who was beat to a pulp, looking closer you noticed sharp pointers in his back from the chair he was sat in.
-Wh-what are those? – you whispered.
-I did an acupuncture, - he stated easily, - tell you what, - he kept a pause, - it works miracles...
You swallowed. The blue light made Ten look especially evil. You watched as Ten pressed a couple of numbers on remote control, and the spikes disappeared. The gun was now pointed at the criminal, and without a single thought, you saw Ten shoot the guy, without remorse, not even a flinch. You jumped. On Ten’s command, the spikes went back through the guys back, he screamed in pain.
You did not want to end up like the guy, your feet moving faster than your brain, out of the room, through the door, through the garage entry, running away, not even knowing where. You ran till you were out of breath, stopping randomly to breath in, catch your breath and get going. You were sure, detective would hunt you down, and if you don’t move faster, he might catch you, and god knows, maybe torture you like that guy.
Lungs on fire, seemed like you had run for hours. Taking in your surroundings you smelled freshness from something close, walking further you found out you had come to beachside. Blue water, clear and see-through greeted you with opened arms. There was something else that caught your attention – police tape, surrounding what looked like a hole in the sand.
-This must be where they found us, - you said to yourself.
-And here I thought you were a good girl, - a voice not much further behind you startled you. You turned around to see detective Ten with a serious expression on his face.
-Why? – you asked, Ten didn’t say a word, - why do you treat me like that, huh?
Not knowing, your body moved closer to Ten’s, your pointer finger poking at his chest.
-What do you want from me? – you shouted, - I am not like Anna or anyone else, I won’t do what they are doing, I should not be here! Why are you abusive? Do you want to hit me? – you breathed in, - I am from another planet, I do not know how to be someone I am not, I do not wish to be owned, and certainly not by someone like you.
You finished your sentence in barely a whisper. Ten got a hold of both your hands.
-I don’t like your tone, - he started, and you laughed in his face.
-So what? – you laughed, - what now? I end up like the guy you tortured?
You got out of his grasp, fleeting towards the see as fast as you could. Ten was after you, as you ran in the water, he chased after you. Your feelings on high alert, there was no turning back if you wanted to go back home.
Not even reaching deep enough you got on your knees without holding your breath and getting under water. Ten’s strong arms pulled you back up.
-No, - he said in warning voice, - this is not how we do things here.
You still were trying to get underwater.
-No, - he said again, grabbing you towards his much stronger body, - STOP!
Tears felt down your cheeks. You really thought that killing yourself was the exit. When you didn’t struggle anymore, Ten started to pull you out from the water. He was completely silent. Bringing you with him to the car, he put the seatbelt on, got in the drivers seat and drove.
Both of your bodies were soaked, and the closest person to help him was his own family. Pulling up in the drive- way, Ten got out of the vehicle first, then helping you out. Soon a knock on the door, they opened with Ten’s fathers face.
-Hmm, what do we see here? – he asked and smiled, opening the doors wider, letting Ten drag you inside, - honey, we have a visitor.
His mother came rushing from the kitchen, when you saw her you had to blink a couple of times, she was a bit shorter than you, near Ten’s height, looking not at all alien- like (if that was even a thing), and you started questioning things.
-Ten! – she greeted with big smile on her face, and then she noticed you, - hello!
She came straight for you.
-Let’s get you all cleaned up, shall we? – with that she took you upstairs, towards the bathroom, opening drawers she took out a bathrobe and a towel, she made sure water was warm in the shower, she helped you undress, not saying a word, she washed your hair, helped you get out of the shower, she took care of you, not even asking questions.
Meanwhile downstairs.
-What did you do? – Ten’s father asked, handing him a change of clothes, that looked like parachute on Ten’s smaller body.
-I did nothing, it’s a new case.
-Case? – his father ached an eyebrow, Ten nodded, - don’t tell me she’s an…
-Human, - Ten sat down, his father handed him a beer, - I’m driving, - Ten stated, declining.
-What happened? – his dad questioned.
-Another ship crashed, with ten females, all alive, we just took them in, I got her..
-What’s her name?
-Y/N, - Ten said sighing.
-She’s beautiful, - his dad stated, - so what’s the problem, she’s not giving you any, or is she bad at it?
Ten looked at his dad with “??” (what the fuck) expression.
-It’s complicated, - Ten said quietly.
-Hey, I know what is complicated, - his father let out a small laugh, - I have lived with that for a while now. But let me give you some advice. You must be clear about your wishes, if you wanted her for sex, I trust you have no issue with that…but ask her first, yeah? I am a doctor after all son, but humans are more than that. They have feelings, they have issues, they have past, if she is here, think about what she was like back on her planet, she is missing what she had, doesn’t matter if that was something special or nothing, heck, she might have not been anyone, but even that she might miss.
Ten nodded. He hadn’t thought about that. His penis was thinking first, by the looks of the situation.
-Never forget that there is trust in any relationship, you do not have to be a couple to have some kind of relation between you, even if she just lives in your house, or you “own” her for now, you got to look deeper, - Ten smirked, his dick would be up to your cervix, cannot go deeper than that, and his father re-phrased, seeing his reaction, - Ten, you know what I mean.
-I can’t help it, - he stated,- that is all I think about, all of them are something I have never seen before, it’s like a desert I didn’t think I needed until I saw… wow!
-I believe so, you know your mom and I, that’s how I feel.
DYVLONY people were all sorts – there was not a single one that Ten would count as somewhat other-worldly, all his sexual partners were gorgeous, taking him the best ways possible, but he had not felt any attachment to any of them. It was sensual acts with no strings attached. But being with you even for a dinner time, his thoughts always travelled elsewhere.
Upstairs.
You were sat together on their bed, while Ten’s mother combed your hair.
-He is not a bad guy, - she started a conversation, you looked up, - I don’t know what has happened, but I am sure whatever it is, you can talk it through. But first, do you know anything about me?
You nodded a “no”.
-A while ago I was out, clubbing with my friends, when I saw a girl being dragged out forcefully, she didn’t look like she was moving, and I saw that only because I went to use restroom, so, instead of getting my friends first, I headed straight into something I should not have. Hours later I found myself on spaceship, eyes wide opened, seeing outer space, solar system, until I was knocked out when transferring into another galaxy, and later, naked on a medical table.
You were shook, not knowing what to say.
-Turned out I had landed on a planet, while the other girl I tried to save, had died from the impact when we crashed. I was an alien to them, was taken to the doctor’s home, he was collecting material on me via my DNA. I was so, so shy, while he was doing his job, I had to remain without clothing. When he discovered that my body was similar to his fellow female mates, he wanted to experiment and so…
-I don’t think I want to know more, - you said in low voice, - it’s horrible.
She giggled.
-No, no, I will give you advice, - she smiled and whispered in your ear, - we are much tighter in that area than woman here, so, guess what I did?
You looked surprised. She continued to brush your hair.
-I let him sleep with me and he gave me everything, on top of that, he did not touch me if I said no, and trying for a child, even unexpectedly, was our common decision, until we married before Ten was born. Our bodies are more appealing to them than their women, and we can use that to our advantage from time to time. If you want something from my son, use your sex-appeal and body, he will be at your feet in no time.
She leaned again closer to you and whispered.
-Besides, you are where fantasies come from… - you looked at her and she wiggled her eyebrows, - and my son has been gifted very well… - It was weird listening to his mother speaking those things, but you guessed she was not wrong. Remembering how Ten had eyed you up and down, thinking you don’t notice, it was perfectly clear what his intentions were.
Soon enough you were downstairs eating hot soup together with Ten’s parents. Looking closer you saw similarities between him and his dad, and him and his mom. His charms definitely came from his mom.
What if you did use your body, until you would be ready to give it to Ten?
Later saying farewell’s, you left, going back to Ten’s house. A sudden phone call startled your calm journey, detective Ten picked up.
-Hey, tiger, - a female greeted, and Ten didn’t hesitate to answer.
-What do you want?
-Oh, is that a way to treat someone? I thought we might meet up and have a chat, - she moaned in the speaker, - have that fat cock of yours stuffed deep in…
Ten ended the conversation. You felt your face warm up but didn’t look up. You both had not spoken a word to each other.
-Don’t mind that, - Ten finally said.
-Ok, - you nodded.
Ten opened the doors for you like he usually did, locking them behind both of you.
-I will be down here, so keep upstairs will you? – he said, you nodded and left to your room.
Nothing was heard from downstairs, and you fell asleep.
Ten moved the ceiling chains, washed up, cleared table and disinfected all his toys and torture equipment. He looked at the butt plugs, taking one, he thought of how much time he would need to prep you, till you could be rewarded with one of his cocks. Assorting vibrators by speed, size and use, he also put various lubricant bottles next to them.
Giselle was on speed dial, and he was hesitating.
-Ring, rriiingggg, rrrrringggg!
-I thought you will call me back, tiger, I suppose it was not the best timing?
-No, I needed to speak with you without others listening, - Ten’s words were soft, - whatever we had going on, it’s over. I want you to respect the decision I have made.
-What? – Giselle felt angered, - who is she? Does she suck you off better than I do? Can she squirt like I do? What is it Ten?
-It is nothing like that, Giselle, you were brilliant and we had much fun, but that’s it, I hope you understand.
-No, I don’t, - she was honest, - I cannot believe you are leaving me for some other hoe!!!
-Just let go, - Ten spoke, - we were never together.
He ended the call, deleting Giselle’s number from his contact list. The same time he received a photo from Xiao Dejun. Selfie with him and Anna tangled in bedsheets, text under the picture “she is all I wanted”.
Passing by your bedroom, Ten stopped.
-You are all I want, - he whispered and went to bed himself.
***
-Ten, I had to show you this, - Xiao Dejuns voice echoed through his earphones, Ten was re-watching the video he had received, one hand down his trousers. Anna walked over to Dejun, while he sat on the edge of the bed. Her hands was massaging Dejuns legs through his sweats, and she continued to bite her lip, while moaning sweet nothings.
Ten rested his head against the headboard, slowly attending to his member, Anna in the video, had just pulled down Dejuns trousers, licking on his penis at no time, her hand wrapped around the base. Her pretty lips wrapped around Dejuns cock, sucking on the head, then licking it up and down.
-She’s a naughty girl, -Xiao spoke to both, Anna and Ten to hear, - aren’t you?
She just nodded and continued to suck. Ten felt the wetness from his cock onto his hand and used it as a lubrication to continue his masturbation. Going up and down, a little harsher each time, stopping in between to see the video.
Anna was wiggling her butt while lying on her stomach, and Dejuns dick was seen in the picture, she got on her knees, spreading her ass cheeks, showing herself of. Seconds later Xiao had his dick spreading Annas lower lips, sliding in her opening a little by little.
-Ugh, it’s gonna be…- Xiao swallowed, - so… so tight…
He couldn’t even formulate a sentence, and Anna continued to tease him, wiggling her booty, allowing Xiao’s member to slide deeper and faster, until it turned into a proper pounding, which Anna gracefully received.
Ten felt his balls tighten, the orgasm was near, through his earphones he heard a noise of something crashing, getting out of the bed straight away, headphones and tablet on the bed, trousers up, he was ready to search for wherever the sound came from. Mentally kicking himself, it was hella hard to put his dick in his trousers when it was like this.
-Fuck, - he swore under his breath, going through the corridor, spotting the light from kitchen. You were on your knees, picking up pieces of smashed glass, until you saw a figure approaching, nearly jumping back.
Seeing it was Ten you quicky apologized.
-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you, - you said, - It’s an accident.
Somehow for whatever reason, your eyes travelled from Ten’s face to his disheveled shirt and trousers, where it was as clear to see outline of his penis as it was to know you were an alien on this planet. It was long and hard, begging for attention. You looked away, continuing to “be looking” for some glass pieces that you could have left behind unnoticed.
Ten was just standing there not saying nothing. You disposed of the glass, he still said nothing. While washing your hands, his mother’s words came back to you – use your sex appeal and he will be at your feet no time.
Harder done than said, but all or nothing, you thought to yourself.
-You need help with that? – you asked, not turning around. Ten looked at you.
-What’s that? – he asked.
-Do you need help with that…? - you turned around to point to his lower body. Ten ached a brow, there must be a catch, were you referring to his dick or were you playing him?
He stepped closer.
-What do you mean? – he asked still moving closer, and the next thing you did, surprised your inner self as much as it surprised Ten.
You grabbed his penis through his trousers. Ten nearly choked, you were kicking yourself mentally. Shit. What now?
Looking him in the eye, you moved your hand on his length a couple of times, only to reach in his pants to stroke his naked member seconds later. Ten was used to his hands doing the job, and he had no problem finding a partner either, so why was this so weird?
-I want… - you started, - I want to make a deal.
-Mmmh? – Ten questioned, your hand stroking him ‘oh so well’, if you would continue, he sure would give you everything. You got down, pushing his trousers down as you went, not far enough to see his other dick.
-You could… - you were about to strike a deal while performing a blow job, this was just ‘no’, if you would see yourself right now. Your lips licked his tip, Ten could have come right there, he waited patiently. Your mouth was wet and warm, Ten groaned from the sight and feeling, how your cave welcomed him, your tongue licking the sides of his dick, and then you started sucking. Pre cum tasted bitter on your tongue, but you managed to deepthroat him in no time, letting Ten control your movements a bit, holding on his hips, now using your mouth only. You stopped to breath in. – you could let me leave the house from time to time… for walks… maybe go to the shop… etc.?
Ten nodded. He definitely was not thinking straight.
You took one of his hands and put it at the back of your head, taking him back into your mouth, letting him finish. Ten’s hand grasped a handful of your hair as he fucked your mouth mercilessly, quiet moans (but still moans) left his mouth, until he stilled, hot liquid filled your throat and mouth, all you could do was swallow. Coming down from his high, Ten noticed how your nipples were pressing though the fabric of your pajama shirt, so you were enjoying it. His charms were working.
Ten didn’t let you say or do anything, pulling you up quickly, just to push you closer to living room where the sofa was. Not saying a word, he pulled your pants down together with your underwear. Staying on the floor, Ten made you sit on the sofa, spreading your legs opened for his hungry gaze. You sat back up to say something.
-Shh, - he whispered, - I won’t do anything to hurt you, let me take care of you, - you nodded. Kissing the inside of your thigh, he let you put your guard down and relax a bit. You hadn’t shaved, but he didn’t seem to care either. To test the waters, Ten slid his tongue through your pussy lips lapping up all the nectar that had gathered there, moaning at the taste, diving back in, grabbing onto your hip, pulling you to him. He watched you through his eyebrows. He looked hungry to say the least.
This was the first time someone performed oral sex on you. Your hand went down to play with Ten’s hair, but he grabbed it before you could reach him. He moved your fingers to your clitoris, pressing onto it, your nerves coming alive, his hand together with yours circling your nerve bundle, his tongue sliding in your vagina, with a couple more thrusts you came, a powerful orgasm (which you were sure had never reached before) making you close your eyes, as Ten still was licking you up and your bound hands continued assault on your clit. All of the sudden there was something else, a new sensation, your eyes shot opened straight away. Ten watched your reaction. One of his fingers was massaging the tight rim of your ass, his lips came back to latch onto your clitoris, the feeling nearly making you lunge forward. His finger was now the first knuckle deep between your butt cheeks.
It was as scary as it was exciting. Your body grew used to it, and then Ten would push his finger deeper, penetrating you slowly and then faster, stretching you out, your legs were near to giving up on you, your sticky substance providing Ten’s fingers with more lubrication. It went from one finger to two. Another orgasm going through you in vibrations, only then Ten let go of your clitoris, licking up last time, you shying away from his touch, as it was too much. His fingers were still in your other entrance moving in and out, your vagina convulsing around nothing.
There was a sound of silence. Only the clock announcing it’s 1AM. You looked at him, and Ten back at you. He smiled.
A?
He freaking smiled!!!
Only then his other hand left your other entrance, now resting on your legs. His other hand was touching your hip tenderly. A long pause of silence in between the silence.
-I want you, - Ten spoke, - I want to do so much to you… and I won’t hide it. I want to fuck you so badly you won’t be able to walk for days…
You silenced him leaning in and smashing your lips onto his. Your hands holding on his shoulders, your tongue tasting yourself on his lips. The kiss was gentle, you were exploring each other’s mouths, Ten was standing up from the floor, taking you with him. Your legs around his lower back, as he carried you to his room.
This would be the first time he would make love to someone on his bed/ in his bedroom.
Once on top of the bed, Ten took of his sweats, revealing his other counterpart, your eyes widened. How was that even possible? Ten pulled up your shirt, throwing it somewhere kissing your chest with chaste kisses, sucking on your nipples for a short period of time, discarding his own shirt next. His body was lean, no abs, but inviting, with a tattoo decorating his chest and you licked it, swirling your tongue around his left nipple.
He laid you down, disposing of whatever was left on his bed, and it landed with a thud, his body finding it’s way between your legs, a trail of kisses left all over your body, your hands in his hair, no restrictions this time.
Ten reached your lips, an eye contact was made, and he whispered.
-Which one? – you didn’t understand at first, but he grabbed your wrist, and you were soon touching his cocks. – this one?
He let you touch it briefly before moving onto his other dick.
-Or perhaps this one? – the same pattern of you touching him happened again, and you were confused. It was clear that one of them was thicker, but the other was longer, and you didn’t know which one to choose. Ten kissed your lips seeing your hesitation. – are you worried?
He asked, and you nodded. The stretch will definitely hurt, you were sure of it, so you chose randomly. Little did you know, that the one you chose was the longer one. Ten fondled with your breasts, while kissing you, slowly moving his hand down, to position himself at your entrance. He was holding his breath when he slid inside an inch, and you gasped at the intrusion, spreading your legs to make more room, he looked down, pushing in a bit more then looking up at your scrunched face.
-Just a bit more, - he said quietly, tenderly stroking your hips and your waist, your sides and back down, sliding in a bit more every time. Kisses reached your lips again, he tasted blood from them, it was clear that he had hurt you a bit, but he would make up to it.
-I am going to move now, - he spoke softly, you nodded. Ten pulled out almost all the way just to thrust back in, earning a whelp from you, shallow thrusts were changed for deeper ones, as he studied your features and body language to what you enjoyed more. Once he discovered that longer/deeper thrusts make you arch your back from the bed, he would suck on your nipples and penetrate you like that just to hear the volume of your moans. Your body was like a violin he enjoyed playing.
Ten felt the pressure coming in slow waves of pleasure, he needs you to come first, your hands leaving scratch marks on his back as a proof, that you needed the orgasm as much as he does. He changed the tempo. Shallow thrusts, faster tempo, quick kisses on your lips, quiet whispers in your ears.
-Will you come for me, - he questioned, you could not answer with words, so you nodded.
-More, - you whispered, - more Ten, give me more…
Wet squelching sounds echoed in the room, your essence dripping on the sheets, thrust after a thrust, Ten was providing you generously, his hand coming between your bodies to give you that one last push, when he circled your clit, your core clenched furiously straight away, and you screamed, reaching your high, grabbing onto Ten.
His thrusts became faster only to go slower when he came after you, your core milking him for all he’s worth, his cum dripping from your entrance. Pulling out he leaned in.
-Hold on for me a bit more, - a quiet whisper reached you. His other cock was being pushed inside of you as you nearly cried out. It stretched you a lot more than the first one. You had never felt fuller of something, like in that moment.
Your muscles kept on clenching around his other member, the sliding in and out was making your head spin, you felt like you were about to burst.
-Ten…. Ten… - his name was the only thing on your lips, - Ten… I can’t….
You begged.
Your erratic moans and pained whispers were edging Ten towards another orgasm of his own. He kissed you as he stilled inside you and came, quickly rushing his thrusts to not to hurt you, when your body started to convulse again, trapping Ten’s cock in a vice like grip, Ten thrusted forcefully a couple more times, and when the pressure felt too much, he pulled out only to witness a clear fluid squirt on his lower abdomen, your body going limp in the process.
He placed you on the pillows carefully, cleaned you up, got a glass of juice, waking you up with soft touches.
-Hey, - he greeted giving you a sip.
-Hi, - you said back.
-How are you feeling? – Ten asked, you reached for him and kissed his lips. – I see.
He giggled, earning a laugh from you, he looked at you again, kissing your lips.
-About your request about going out… - he started, - you think after this you are leaving the bed?
You smacked his shoulder playfully.
-Come here, - he smiled pulling you closer to him. Maybe staying on this planet won’t be as bad as you thought it will be. - DYVLONY is now home… will you stay with me?

Holds you at gunpoint. Every question for Jupiter. (you can skip some if you want-)
i love you, you motherfucker 🔫
1. what is your character's relationship to the traveler?
jupiter is aether’s and lumine’s big sibling, so they all get along very well. i like to think aether and lumine are way more brash and “act before you think” kind of people, while jupiter usually is the one who takes lead (both because of the big sib energy and because they are way more analytical). that being said, jupiter is aware that the twins are very much capable of surviving on their own and fighting if there is any need for that, which is why even after losing touch with them in tevyat they know that the twins will manage somehow, they just need to find them
2. is your character proud of, ashamed of, or indifferent to their feelings towards members of a certain gender?
i’d like to think that the species/society the trio comes from doesnt give a fuck about gender and sexuality so jupiter would never feel ashamed or upset about their feelings towards specific genders. i dont think they would rlly label themself but they are definitely not straight. as to having feelings towards others: they are usually straight forward in their approach
3. what is your character's relationship with themselves?
jupiter knows their purpose and objective very well, but that often clouds their true desires. i like to think that they havent really been thinking for themself up until they were stranded in tevyat and had to rely on themself. they came to realize their own opinions and perspectives that they carry with themself everywhere they go. tho, their views are rather flexible, because they are very much willing to learn if an oppoturnity arises. that being said, they dont quite know themself well just yet, they are still learning after all
4. what is their favorite region? why?
with how much of the game is available rn, liyue is definitely their favorite so far. it’s culture is incredibly rich and full of fascinating stories and legends. i personally am looking forward to the release of sumeru, but what will come out of it is yet to be seen
5. what is their relationship with Zhongli? do they have one at all?
oh they very much do. while his charm and politeness are qualities that they very much enjoy, what originally drew them closer to him was his vast knowledge over liyue’s traditions and customs. at first during their stay at liyue harbor they would wait to catch him during his afternoon and evening strolls around the city to ask him things and carefully listen to everything he has to say. id like to think that zhongli appreciated having such an active listener and even a conversation partner at some point. eventually their little friendship grew into fondness for each other and they would seek each other’s company, until jupiter straight up confessed. id like to think their relationship is fairly innocent and very much founded on mutual respect and admiration. they both value honesty and communicate with each other rather well. and even though, zhongli hesitated before agreeing to travel with them, leaving liyue behind, he doesnt regret doing it
6. who is their love interest? If they do not have one, who is their closest friend?
while zhongli is both their love interest and their dear friend, venti is their first close friend. during the events of chapter I they both bonded. venti seemed like someone containing a vast amount of knowledge that jupiter was eager to discover. it quickly became apparent to them that the bard doesnt particularly like to talk about the past in detail, but venti still would surprise them with how much he knew about art and the culture surrounding it. they are both pretty light spirited so they always enjoyed each other’s company and their bond only grew stronger during their travels.
7. what do they think of Mona?
they are curious about and intrigued by her methods. they can also very much relate to her pursuit of lost/forgotten knowledge. they like to ask her about astrology and theorize with her, asking her to teach them little things for an exchange of a hot, homemade meal
8. what do they think of The Knights of Favonius?
their opinion on the knights is mixed. they can very much see that most of the people working for them are underqualified and not cut for the job or only doing it for the renown. while the idea of a city without a ruler is appealing, in practice the knights are the ones ruling over it and jupiter was left feeling sceptical when thinking about their methods and the possible future. they dont have anything against the individual people in the organization, but they do think their approach is highly flawed
9. wine is Mondstadt's most popular drink. do they drink wine?
while they do indulge in alcohol from time to time, they dont seem to be able to get drunk or even tipsy. they’ve concluded that since their body is built differently than a person of this world’s, its very probable that they dont react to certain foods and products the same way. alcohol is like any kind of a drink for them and many people are terrified when they see them consume it in large quantities
10. what do they think of Kaeya?
they like his playful nature and think he is a highly intelligent person, who doesnt show anyone what he is truly capable of. his methods, while very cunning, seem rather brash, which somehow reminds them of their siblings. while they are very much curious about his motives and history, they dare not to pray if it isnt welcomed. during their stay in mondstadt they would often times catch kaeya lurking in the tavern and spending time with the local gangs and bandits in order to extort information from them while drunk. in the rarer occasions where he would be alone, they would sometimes keep him company, filling the night with talks about nothing in particular
11. if they were forced to make the choice between killing their love interest/friend or killing themselves, what would they choose? why?
that very much depends on when that would happen. pre-separation with their siblings, they would very much operate on the hard logic of “whoever has more information/more important information should survive”. however after spending time in tevyat and meeting its people, jupiter learns to greatly value life and their inicial stance would change to a more selfless one. the more they get to know about the world the more they are willing to put their life on the line to preserve life in it, especially if its the life of someone they hold dear
12. what do they think of Childe? 16. is there a canon character your character hates? why?
at first they were open to the idea of being childe’s friend, however with time they started noticing that something was wrong with his overt friendliness. when he revealed his true intentions, jupiter was not surprised, but learning what he had chose to do made them absolutely despise him. staying in liyue has taught them a lot and made them care about the people living in this world. however childe seemed to have no disregard to them. they will not hesitate to fight him if their paths do cross again
13. do they carry a lot of Mora?
having a large amount of mora is basically a requirement when travelling with zhongli and venti. jupiter does take on a lot of jobs and comissions, though mora is mostly a secondary issue for them. they do find themself owning quite a lot of it at times until they overspend with their companions and are forced to rely on their survival skills in order to save up enough to get a roof over their heads
14. does your character side with Kaeya, Diluc or neither?
when it comes to the family feud: neither. jupiter doesnt like to pry into family matters and they understand both kaeya and diluc never talking about their issues with one another. while they cant imagine siblings behaving like that, due to their own experience, they dont feel like its their place to judge.
when it comes to the knights of the favonius: jupiter slightly leans more on diluc’s side, recognizing the many weaknesses of the organization as it is, however they both come from different places when critiquing it.
15. what do they think of Venti?
venti has become their best friend and they value him deeply. they worry about him sometimes, aware of the origin of his appearance and the history behind it. they like how venti seems to perceive life in a very poetic way and are fascinated by it. they get along very well and venti often fill their time during their travels by his songs, both known and not yet named
17. how did they acquire their vision?
they seem to be blessed with the same ability as their siblings when it comes to being granted powers without aquiring a vision themself
18. what is your character's weakness?
their curiosity and hunger for knowledge
19. what is their strength?
they utilize the knowledge they have gathered into things they can use to their advantage be it in battle or daily life
20. what is your character's theme song?
pure gold by half·alive
21. what weather do they love the most? why?
they love when its sunny. jupiter very much enjoys the feeling of sunlight on their skin
22. what do they think of Paimon?
jupiter would be Ecstatic to get to meet paimon. her vast knowledge in all matters would make her a valuable companion. in the current story they have no idea who she is as of now though
23. what do they think of the Fatui?
while they do not approve of the fatui’s methods, they cant help but think that something much deeper must be going on. jupiter wants to believe that the tsaritsa cant be simply evil and that perhaps she has some other, hidden motivation for her actions. having spent time with and got to know the fatui in liyue, they also know that not all of them are cartoonish bad guys
24. what do they think of the archons?
overall the concept of archons seems very new and intriguing to them. they do try to get as much information about their godhood out of venti and zhongli. they wonder whether this world really needs the archons as much as it claims to
25. what is the worst thing that could happen to your oc?
either losing their siblings or losing their memory (its a great fear of theirs)
26. what does your oc want the most?
their long term dream is to write down all the knowledge they’ve gathered so far and make it accessible and understandable to anyone willing to read it

Tale of the second drawer...
Part of the prequel series to "Are we ever going to talk about this?".
I'll post little snippets of their 'not dating' days in this series. Little events that draw them together and the intimacy they share in plain sight.
--------
Q pokes at the plaster with his undamaged hand, tracing the outlines of what must be an impressive blister underneath. “Owww... With luck, I might end up with a wicked scar. Makes for an interesting conversation starter.”
Bond smiles indulgently at his exaggeration then lobs a half-hearted line at him, “Would you like me to kiss it better?” His calloused thumbs running back and forth lightly over the open palm.
Q can’t help but laugh at that,......
----------------------------------------------------
Agent 006
“Yes I know, our appointment was 2 hours ago. Sorry Q, M had me in his office for 2 more hours than expected,” Trevelyan apologises when he reports to Q.
Q looks up from the textbook he is consulting with and peers over his glasses at him. The text is a mass of hexagonal scribbles and lines that 006 recognises as chemistry symbols. There are handwritten notes in the margins and liberal application of highlighter all over the page.
“Ah 006, no worries. Your kit is waiting for you on the table,” Q gestures to the workbench behind 006 where a brushed aluminium case sits. Inside are what looks like a dozen silver pens.
“Deposit them around the areas of interest and it will detect any wireless enabled equipment within its radius. This will allow us to find the weakest link and likeliest backdoor where we can tunnel in with. As you can imagine, it only has a limited battery life, so you’ll need to be strategic about using them and coordinate with us for the timing—...”
Alec tries to listen carefully to the instructions, but his stomach objects to being ignored any longer and makes its displeasure known - loudly. The meeting with M ate (pun intended) into his lunch hour.
Q pauses going over the instructions. Trevelyan gives him a thin lipped smile hiding his embarrassment.
“...Hungry? There are some snacks in the second drawer.” Q motions to his desk with a tilt of his head.
“Ta!..” 006 all but skips to the desk. There is a selection of protein snacks and Alec rummages through the drawer to find a variety he likes. As he shuffles through the drawer, the other contents piques his interest. He peeks at Q who is still preoccupied with repacking his kit.
006 takes the opportunity to investigate:
a pair of solid gold cufflinks - judging by the weight
aviator sunglasses - non prescription, not Q’s
an Aston Martin car key fob with a separate key attached to it - the key does not correspond to the car, its for a door or a lock.
a neatly folded tie, heavy silk, designer label - not Q’s usual style
Curiouser and curiouser. Finally, an employee ID badge - he flips it over, a very familiar face is printed on the ID. James Bond.
Alec smiles -confirmation-. 006 sees it for what it is. But it is odd that the Quartermaster tolerates such territorial behaviour - unless a) the feeling is mutual or b) he’s not aware of it, which is more likely. He wouldn’t have let Alec rummage through his drawer otherwise. Oh James, you poor smitten sod.
“Anything to your liking 006?” Q catches him smiling.
Alec grabs a random protein snack, rips it open and takes a huge bite of the bar. “Oh…mmm….” he chews around his words, “—thank you.” He holds up the bar in thanks.
When Q turns back around, 006 thinks this is the perfect opportunity to screw with 007... but how? How do you piss off a possessive territorial lion? ...By planting blatant evidence of intrusion of course!
Alec checks himself, his tie-pin - gold and crusted with small diamonds. Much too gaudy for 007’s tastes. It’s the perfect juxtaposition. He unclips it and drops it into the drawer.
When he leaves Q-Branch, he’s feeling particularly wicked. Its ingrained in him, to look for and act on opportunities when it presents itself. The others would expect no less of him. He pulls out his phone to text 003 with his discovery.
Agent 003
Two weeks later, 003 returns from her mission seducing the son of a manufacturing tycoon in South East Asia, with links to human traffickers luring workers into modern slavery that span the region from Philippines to India.
She stops by Q’s desk to return her kit consisting mostly of trackers and hidden video cameras. They all served their purpose but one of them had an issue with the sound quality. She recalls the text 006 sent her weeks earlier so before leaving, she contrives feeling hungry.
“Q, you don’t happen to have something to munch on do you? I’m feeling… peckish.”
Q is pre-occupied, checking over the piece of equipment with a macroscope to understand what went wrong. “Oh, second drawer. Help yourself to whatever.”
Perfect. She goes to his desk to retrieve a snack. She only needs to remove the first packet and she has to stifle a laugh.
She spots 006’s panther shaped Cartier tie pin, next to it is 005’s Tiffany tanzanite and platinum drop earrings along with 002’s Bvlgari gold and onyx signet ring. Finally under all of it is 008’s Hermes silk pocket square.
Shoved further into the back of the drawer are the items that Alec told her about, those that belong to 007. The ID badge pushed right to the back facing down - you’d be hard pressed to notice it if you didn’t know it was there.
She had heard that 007 won’t back from Venezuela till Friday, so she’s just in time to add her calling card. She shifts around the snack packets to burry 007’s things and then drops in a stick of Chanel No5 lipstick in its signature flaming red tube - 007 will not be able to miss that.
----—
Quartermaster
Last 36 hours had been exhausting. Q had altogether probably 3 hours of sleep in that period. And he needs a shower. The cats are alright, he just checked the cameras - Q has an automated feeder set up for emergencies like this.
Q had spent the better part of the time hacking into system after system covering tracks, laying traps, planning infiltration and escape routes; all culminating in last night’s tense Ops trying to save 009 from premature death when his cover was blown by a double crossing informant. It was over now, with 009 safely extracted by their allies and on his way back to England with miraculously minor injuries all things considered.
So yes, his hand eye coordination is shot. His fingers slip on his mug handle and liquid sloshes over the top, splashing over his shirt and onto his desk. Q uses his tie to quickly mop up the spilled tea before it spreads onto the paper schematic open on his desk.
He takes the mess to the pantry sink to cleanup. The wet spot on his shirt sticking uncomfortably to his skin. Its a good thing he’d removed his cardigan earlier. He can hide the stain on his shirt under it.
As he’s attempting to remove the stain and dry his shirt as much as possible he feels his phone vibrating in his pocket. He pulls it out - its a text from Eve:
:: Where are you?? Meeting’s started ::
What meeting? Q tries to recall. He checks his calendar app. Shit! 2:00 pm Joint Executive Oversight meeting. He checks the time. 2:15pm!
He abandons the mug and tie next to the sink. No time to wash it now.
Q rushes back to his office to put on his cardigan. The cardigan doesn’t hide the topmost stain - a tie would do the trick. Also god forbid he walks into the meeting dressed so causally. They would think the young Quartermaster was starting a mutiny.
There must be a spare tie in his desk somewhere - Q thinks as he rummages through his drawers. He’s about to ask Nish to borrow his tie when his hand brushes fabric under the stash of snacks and protein bars. He fishes it out - a tie! Yes! He loops it around his neck and starts to tie it - the knot is uneven, but he has no time to worry about it now.
He grabs his laptop and rushes out the door - informing Nish about the meeting and the mess he left next to the pantry sink. He’ll clean it up later.
In the lift on the way up, as he adjusts the hastily knotted tie - he tries to remember when was it that he purchased an accessory this fancy.
——
After meeting. He tries to get back to being productive to make himself feel better. What an ordeal; he had to face-off with Timothy Hayden (IT-Branch HOD) in the meeting - no surprise there. Normally he’d be fine to hold his own. But today, suffering from sleep depravation and a wardrobe mishap meant that he was uncharacteristically flustered, which Hayden took advantage of.
His stained and slightly damp shirt front was passably hidden behind the cardigan and tie, but it still made him self-conscious. What was more, Tanner and Eve kept looking at him oddly. The navy replacement tie looked dark enough in warm light, but when it caught the harsher fluorescent light, it had a slight iridescence to it that clashed with his mustard cardigan - it clearly wasn’t his style nor his tie.
Q fires up the soldering iron. He plans to finish the circuit board for the prototype controller that will be used in a portable drone. Once he confirms it works, he’ll have the schematics sent to a manufacturer to have it miniaturised. He could at least get this bit done today.
Twenty minutes into the ‘zone’ and he has finished a round of soldering. He pauses to check his work against the overall drawing. It doesn’t look quite right.
What? He flips the drawing around. Argh! He grabs a fistful of his hair in frustration. It’s upside down!
He slams his hands down on the work table. The vibration causes the soldering iron resting on its holder to tip over. The weight of its power cord starts to pull it off the table.
Reflex makes him shoot out his hand to grab the iron. But instead of grabbing the handle he misjudges and grabs the tip instead. The 400’C tip burns his palm instantly.
“Ah!!” Q yelps and jolts back in pain. The pain makes him drop the iron - right into his lap.
He stands hastily to avoid the heated tip - and bangs the back of his head against the top baffle of the fume cabinet as well as upending the stool he was sitting on.
“Fuck!!” The escaped curse is something between a hiss and a yell.
His pained curses and bangs draws his minions to investigate. Nish pokes his head around the corner and asks “You alright sir?”
Nish takes in the toppled chair, the disheveled hair, and the way Q is holding on to his hand and makes the correct deduction. Who hasn’t burned themselves soldering?
“Go to medical boss. I’ll tidy this up for you.”
Q hangs his head in utter defeat and sighs heavily. “I’m done for the day I think. Thanks Nish.”
--—-
Agent 007
Bond is back at HQ. Ops had made it clear that he must hand them the USB stick with the time sensitive info he stole as soon as he gets back. They need to link together the web of supply chain involving the cocaine shipment from Venezuela-France-England before the people involved go back into hiding.
So here he is, direct delivery from Heathrow. He had handed the USB stick to R since Q wasn’t around. Then he had gone to the Quartermaster’s desk and the second drawer to retrieve a snack while he waits for Q to return. As jet-lagged as he is, he hasn’t seen the quartermaster for nearly a month and well... he wants more than just the voice to sustain him.
Something on top of the packet grabs his attention. A bright red tube of lipstick. What the...? He shifts the contents around, a gaudy diamond and gold panther tie pin?? And whose bloody pocket square is that???
He checks the lipstick label - Chanel No5… Bloody 003!
He takes stock of the other items again, they -all- look familiar. How do they even know about this drawer? Did Q just let anyone rummage though his desk? Worse, are those snacks not just for him?
And what about his things? A first he can’t find them, then he pulls the drawer all the way out, until the wheels catch on the stoppers. They’re buried under a pile of snacks and shoved all the way to the back. Everything is there, no wait - except the tie.
He slams the drawer shut with enough force to move the desk a few centimetres. Those bastards!
Bond storms out of Q-Branch. None of them better be in the building, especially Trevelyan. This whole thing reeks of his idea.
——
Quartermaster
Medical patched him up and sent him away with a box of hydrogel burn plasters. Dr Chen tells him that they stock it specially for Q-Branch. But that also means she is obligated to report the incident as a work place accident. Great, more paperwork and the irony of having the HOD become a statistic.
Q shuffles morosely back to Q-Branch - will this day end already. He figures he should have a nap before going home. At this rate he is likely to accidentally walk right into the path of a moving bus on the way home.
There is a set of old brown leather Chesterfield sofas, deliberately semi-hidden behind a rack of storage shelves on this floor of Q-Branch. A relic of the 1950s in perfect condition that they found in storage during one of their inventory audits. Q had it brought out to serve as a makeshift lounge, usually used by those working late nights or during pizza parties after CyberWar nights.
He removes his cardigan to use as a blanket and flops onto the sofa.
Hours later, he wakes up and the place is mostly dark except for the safety lighting. Most of his minions have gone home. It’s not uncommon to leave Q here alone when he’s pulling all nighters, but the last person would usually check in on him before they left. Not tonight.
Q indulges in a good stretch and sits up. His head feels better. It doesn’t feel like its swimming or floating anymore. But he is hungry.
He makes way to his desk to collect his things but stops short - startled by the sight of 007 lounging in his chair, feet propped up on the desk, a textbook on Advanced Biofuels open in his hands. He’s not wearing a suit, just a button down shirt and khakis which probably means he just got back from Caracas and hasn’t gone home yet.
“You’re back. What are you doing here?” Q asks softly. Genuine question, what is he doing sitting in a darkened Q-Branch.
“Came to drop off the usb drive. I’ve given it to R since the Quartermaster was temporarily out of commission.”
“Ah. Sorry about that — “ checks his watch and yawns. “That must have been hours ago. What are you still doing here then?”
Bond doesn’t answer. Instead he asks, “Is that my tie?” gestures to the loosened tie around his neck.
“Is it yours? I was wondering about it. I found it in my desk.” Q undos the tie and folds it back neatly before handing it over to Bond. As he does, he notices his own tie now hanging on the shade of his desk worklamp. He reaches for it.
“Leave it. It should dry by Monday.” Bond tells him.
Q opens his mouth to tell him that it needs a wash, but pauses when he catches sight of his Scrabble mug on the table under the light of the worklamp, the white porcelain gleaming pristine - he peeks inside, even the stubborn tea stains are gone. Q blinks in confusion.
Something about the way the two items are arranged prominently on his desk and the feigned nonchalance hiding a pleased look on Bond’s face that makes him wonder.
“Did you.. wash my tie and mug?” Q is having trouble putting together the image of 007 fresh from an infiltration job in Venezuela that involved drug trafficking and a traitorous national guard, then returning to England to do something so mundanely domestic in the pantry sink - by hand no less.
Bond doesn’t answer, then again Q doesn’t expect him to admit it even if he did. He just opens the second desk drawer purposefully and deposits the borrowed tie back in there.
“Are you hungry Q?” Bond asks instead. “Can I tempt you with supper?”
There it is. That odd way that Bond sometimes says ‘Q’ when they are alone. That slight change in tone - softer, less clipped and almost affectionate. He’s beginning to be able to tell Bond’s ‘Qs’ apart.
At the mention of food, Q’s stomach responds with an embarrassing gurgle. “Famished. Something hot with fast service please. I don’t know how much longer I can survive without solid food.”
Bond smiles, pivoting in the chair to put his feet down. He picks up and hands Q his messenger bag - laptop and charger already packed inside, keys and phone in their usual compartments.
Then he switches off the worklamp and picks up an unsealed brown envelope from the desk before ushering Q out of his own office. The package rustles-jingles with the sound of loose items sliding about inside.
“Advanced Biofuels.... How did you like the book?”
“The scribbles in the margins were enlightening,” Bond smiles wryly, “Was it even written in English?”
In the brighter lights of the lift lobby, Q can see his own refection in the lift doors - the washed out tea stains still visible on his shirt and his frightfully mussed hair from the nap. He thinks he should be embarrassed, but can’t bring himself to care. When he looks up, he sees Bond staring him through the reflection.
“Don’t ask—“
“I figured… the mug and tie in the pantry, and the splotch on your desk.”
“Bloody spies.” Q accuses fondly as they step into the lift. He tries to adjust his cardigan so that it hides most of the stains.
“How’s the hand?” Bond asks concerned, his warm fingers reaching out and curling around Q’s that were fussing with his cardigan. He pulls them away from their fussing and spreads them palm up so he can see for himself.
Q pokes at the plaster with his undamaged hand, tracing the outlines of what must be an impressive blister underneath. “Owww... With luck, I might end up with a wicked scar. Makes for an interesting conversation starter.”
Bond smiles indulgently at his exaggeration then lobs a half-hearted line at him, “Would you like me to kiss it better?” His calloused thumb running back and forth lightly over the open palm.
Q can’t help but laugh at that, the flirting is so ingrained into their banter now that both of them recognise the ridiculousness of it. With the others, it is still a competition, a display of one up-manship - but with 007, it has shifted. Like they’ve called a truce, or simply didn’t care about the outcome anymore. Between them, the rules have changed. The fun was no longer in deciding a winner with a knockout blow, but in the simple joy of engaging in comfortable playfulness for as long as possible.
“I don’t know about the science of that; but I will give you the honour of hand feeding an invalid,” Q counters with a line of his own.
At the mention of hand feeding, Bond’s eyes go darker, pupils dilating. He doesn’t say anything, but doesn’t release Q’s hand until the lift dings on their floor which was (un)fortunately just a moment after.
On their way out to Bond’s car they stop at a security desk. Bond tips out the contents of the envelope onto her desk and leaves the empty envelope next to the items. The night guard’s eyes grow wide at the collection of expensive trinkets.
“Would you mind putting these in the Lost and Found please? Their owners are probably anxious to have them back. Thank you.” He walks back to a waiting Q with a smug smile.

Vajra’s story, slight AU. Happy Ending. Takemura x V romance Smut WILL happen - probably a lot
𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟷
Summary: After the failed Heist, Vajra wakes up to a hostile engram and calls a friend.
Word count: 3,067
Warnings: Language
“And you? Who’re you?” A voice echoed faintly, waking her from her sleep.
The apartment was empty and dark. Misty had left an emptiness that slowly consumed the room until Vajra could think of nothing else but how alone she felt.
She tried to think of anything else, anyone else. Those final breaths, feeling his hand go limp in hers... Everything had gone perfectly and they made it to the Relic with little resistance. It wasn’t until an unexpected AV dropped by that pushed them over the edge. Literally, as they had jumped from the ledge to escape.
Every time Vajra found a moment of peace, the sounds of Night City always brought her back. It would remind her of her youth, of meeting Jackie, and getting herself in heaps of trouble that he always came to rescue her from. They were inseparable, even Misty would comment on their companionship. A joke here or there about how Jackie and Vajra were so close she had believed them to be dating when she met Jackie. As soon as Jackie and Misty started dating, Vajra was quick to step back and let them have their privacy.
While Jackie’s relationship with Misty did result in Vajra and him spending less time together, it never changed their friendship. Misty wasn’t intrusive, she was perfect for their tight-knit group. As the old cliche goes; Misty was the puzzle piece they were missing. She gave them both a new perspective they needed and Vajra thought of Misty as family.
Now that Jackie was... gone forever, Vajra could think of nothing but how his absence was hurting her. Misty, the poor girl, had fallen head over heels for Jackie. Without him, Vajra wondered how Misty would fare and if Misty blames her. Vajra blamed herself so she assumed Misty did as well.
Vajra swallowed hard, her throat dry. It took everything in her not to sob as she thought of Jackie’s face. How he’d drag her out of bed, insisting that her sleeping in was keeping her from experiencing everything Night City had to offer. Which didn’t make any sense, Vajra had lived in Night City her entire life. There was nothing new for her to see, but she always humored Jackie anyway.
Her body felt heavy, her wounds partially healed yet still leaving behind a soreness she would have to work through. Slowly she dragged her legs over the edge of the bed. Her bare feet touching the cold floor and she curled her toes, focusing on standing up. There was no doubt in her mind she was unlikely to stand for long. All she wanted was a glass of water, then she could go back to sleep and wallow in her grief.
“Need a smoke, where’d you stash yours?”
Vajra’s eyes widened as she froze in alarm. That voice was here, in her room, and unfamiliar. Her eyes darted around the apartment until she spotted the figure directly beside her. She jumped back, hissing in pain as she pulled on a sore muscle. This man was leaning against the wall looking rather unimpressed by her shock.
“I... don’t smoke.” Her voice sounded so unlike her. The two weeks of downtime really took its toll on her. “How- how are we...?”
“How the fuck should I know?” The dark-haired stranger grunted. Somehow he managed to look even more disappointed in her daze. “The fuck kinda joytoy are you supposed to be?”
Vajra shook her head slowly with a sigh. She didn’t know what to think of this stranger, she had assumed this was the engram in her head that Viktor warned her about. Johnny Silverhand, a rockstar turned terrorist that bombed Arasaka tower fifty years ago. Either she was actually speaking to the engram or she was going crazy; either way, she wanted some water and more sleep.
Turning around to get that glass of water turned out to be a mistake. As she saw her goal, Johnny immediately materialized in front of her. She only had a split second to see the annoyed look on his face before he threw her to the floor. Pain shot up her back and resonated through every sore muscle in her body. Before she could protest his attack, he stepped over her with a fist raised.
“Who do you work for?! Start talkin’!” When he pointed his finger at her, her hand followed suit. It was as if someone had grabbed her hand and started moving it around, she had lost control of that arm entirely.
As the realization set in, Johnny backed away from Vajra. He looked at his hands, to hers, and suddenly a flood of memories came rushing in. There were some gaps and a wealth of memories that were not his own. He moved his hands and Vajra’s copied it. As he recalled a memory it also came into Vajra’s mind, she could see what he saw.
“Fuck...” Johnny was just as surprised by this as Vajra. Neither knew what to do, but while Vajra just wanted some water, Johnny wanted to take his frustration out on her. As he figured out what was happening he grew angry. “Fucking chip. I’ll rip the thing out myself!”
Vajra panicked, “No, no! Wait-!”
Her hand yanked at the chip in her head and her vision went black. There was static, the sound being corrupted as her cybernetics tried desperately to reboot.
By the time her vision came back, she was holding onto the ledge of her window. The weeks she spent unconscious caused her to lose her strength, she needed time to get back up to speed. Yet with Johnny controlling her, she felt just as strong as before. Vajra was helpless as Johnny reeled her back and smashed her head into the glass.
“I’ll take control!” His voice in her head, the smash against the glass; she couldn’t think straight. Her head was throbbing in pain as he forced her into the glass again. “I’ll find a way!”
Vajra was so dazed she couldn’t really make sense of what he said anymore. “You hear me?!” With a final slam, Vajra collapsed to the floor. Johnny lost control as she blacked out.
It was only a minute before Vajra opened her eyes again. She moved her hand relieved to have her body back. Pushing herself off the floor she turned to see the blue pill bottle resting on the ledge of her bed. Johnny paced in front of her, his body flashing in and out as the Relic struggled to project him.
As fast as she could, Vajra snatched the bottle from her bedside and gripped the lid. “Get out of my head!” Only for Johnny to smack it out of her hands, the bottle rolling across the floor.
“Not like that! Stick some iron in your mouth and pull the trigger!” The back of his hand came without warning, forcing her to the floor with the bottle. She was stunned that he could do that, that he could touch her without her own body. Panic grew as she recognized the danger he posed to her. If he wanted to kill her she was in no shape to resist.
“I can feel it... our minds... touching.” Johnny was as confused about it as she was. They both knew what this was, but not how to handle it. This was a first for the world, an engram overwriting a living person. “I’m like mold on fruit... creeping into you. Nothing I can do about it...” He sounded somewhat forlorn about that.
“You hear me?!” Johnny yelled, practically snarling as he bombarded Vajra with this mess of thought. As his mind raced he wondered where he is, what happened to him; Vajra was seeing the same mixed in with her own. The violent whirlwind of disjointed thought and images caused Vajra a terrible migraine.
“I’d puke if I fuckin could!” Every time he spoke his projection teleported around the room. Blue lines of corruption from the Relic kept blinking him in and out of her sight. “It’s just a copy of the engram - I’m out there somewhere, gotta be...”
As he paced, Vajra worked her way to the pills. She wanted this to be over, her head hurt so terribly she felt it might split in two. Looking at Johnny, it might be too late anyway. Vajra dragged her weak body across the floor, “Get out... of my head...” Her voice was so weak she could barely get the words out.
Johnny was unable to take control again though he tried. He had to watch as Vajra snatched a pill from the floor and swallowed it. She rolled onto her back, staring up as Johnny stood over her. He didn’t say a word, only glared from behind his aviators as the medicine began to work.
Within moments Johnny vanished, suppressed by Viktor’s medication. Relief washed over Vajra as she felt the pain beginning to subside. Still sore and laying on the hard floor, she was far from being pain-free. Still, having Johnny out of the way, for now, was a start.
Vajra woke in the early morning with the sun still rising. She groaned as her stiff body protested against her movements. Cold and sore, Vajra felt as though she had slept on a rock. Pressing her palm under her she realized she had passed out on the floor exactly where she was when Johnny was repressed. There was simply nothing left in her after Johnny attacked her so she had closed her eyes where she was.
Hearing her back pop she knew she would regret it for the rest of the day. There was nothing but joint stiffness and exhaustion in her future.
She had to get moving again, there was work to be done, and laying around her apartment won’t help her. Viktor warned her the Relic was killing her slowly and she had to find a way to have it removed safely. There was no time to waste, she had already been out for two weeks. That was lost time spent recovering from a gunshot to the head, but it still meant she had to play catch up.
Grabbing a drink from the vending machine, she turned to her desk to check her messages. As expected it had been filled with spam. Several male endowment products, some about cybernetic enhancements for work and daily life. Finally a message from her complex stating that her rent is overdue... Vajra sighed as she imagined what late fee they were going to give her this time.
Taking one long gulp of her drink she was startled by her ringtone. Vajra coughed as she looked at the ID. Takemura? She didn’t know anyone by that name, but the image on the caller ID showed her his face. Though her memories of that day were incomprehensible, she did recognize the face.
Saburo Arasaka’s personal bodyguard. The man that had begun to scan her and Jackie inside Yorinobu’s penthouse. He wasn’t just any Arasaka agent; he was the best of the best. Saburo made him his bodyguard for a reason. This man was undeniably dangerous and Vajra truly did not want to get involved with him. Whatever he wanted she assumed it wouldn’t be in her best interest.
It didn’t take her long to decide to reject his call. The ringing stopped and Vajra tried to put him out of her mind... Though she had an issue doing so. She remembered the junkyard, Takemura killing Dex, and pulling her into his car. That look on his face told her more than she wanted to know. She couldn’t tell if it was hatred or just how he looked. Some people had the misfortune of resting bitch face. Didn’t much matter, he was Arasaka and though he brought her to Viktor, it didn’t change that he was a threat to her.
So she tried even harder to pretend she never heard his call. As far as she was concerned there is no man named Takemura and...
Vajra looked down solemnly to her drink. Takemura saved her, he pulled her from the junkyard and they survived an attack together. After they crashed things go blurry, but she recalled reaching Delamain. The next thing she saw was Takemura leaning over her, inspecting something. Delamain gave him instructions to save her and Takemura hesitated for a moment before the A.I. cabdriver warned him she would die anyway.
He saved her. Vajra felt a bit guilty for rejecting his call, some need to thank him for saving her... but she worried he would want something from her. Life debts were simply not in her moral code. She owed no one her life and she wanted no one to owe her theirs.
While she was grateful to be alive she knew she was on borrowed time. She was dying and there was nothing Viktor, much less Takemura, could do about that. Whatever Takemura called her for was his business, she wasn’t about to do business with an Arasaka agent.
Vajra winced as she thought of her friend, Ryker. He was with Arasaka for a while before he got pushed out by a higher up. Those corpo rats were corrupt and Ryker was nearly killed. When Ryker was still with Arasaka she did do work for him, helped him whenever he needed it. So she had done work for Arasaka technically.
It didn’t matter, this was different. Ryker is her friend, someone she trusts with her life and trusts her in return. Takemura is an unknown, someone whose morals were whatever Saburo Arasaka deemed them to be. Even worse, she was there when Saburo was murdered. Takemura may believe her to be the murderer. After all, why would he believe her over Saburo’s own son? She had less credibility than Yorinobu from what she could see.
He might wish to take her in, as it were. Pin the murder on her and Jackie...
That made little sense, if he wanted to do that why had Arasaka’s own send a hit squad after them both?
Vajra groaned in frustration. So much had gone wrong so quickly, she had lost control and she hated losing control. The feeling of her life slipping through her fingers, unable to do anything about it left her in such a terrible state. She was defensive, cornered. On one hand, she was trapped with Johnny, an engram slowly killing her and threatened to kill her anyway. The other was Arasaka, the events in Konpeki, and Takemura.
There was no graceful way out of her situation. As of now, Vajra was forced to take a defensive stance against everyone. She wasn’t safe in her own head and she had to remain inconspicuous on the streets, lest Arasaka finds her.
She slipped into her clothes and headed into her stash. There was a collection of her things from the night she returned from Konpeki. A duffle zipped and secured, brought in by Misty. As she dug into the bag she pulled out Kongou, the weapon of Yorinobu Arasaka. It was a fine weapon, she wasn’t going to pass it up.
Clothes in the bag were laundered yet her shirt and jacket of that night were missing. She was thankful for that, Viktor likely having tossed them entirely. They were stained with Jackie’s blood and Vajra never wanted to see them again.
Lastly, Vajra pulled out a katana she had stolen from Konpeki. The blade of Saburo Arasaka; Satori. She slotted it into the stash wall on display before making her way out of her apartment.
Once she breathed in the thick air outside, she felt an immediate pain of loss. It was the understanding that Jackie would not be waiting for her outside, he would not be asking to borrow her car to take Misty out. She would never see him again and it took the wind out of her.
She needed to hear a friendly voice, she had to.
As her list of contacts flashed, she found Ryker’s name and called him. Vajra needed to hear him, she was desperate to know someone was still here. Jackie was dead and she had this irrational fear that somehow Ryker was too. Though he was not in Konpeki when everything went down, he had been in the hotel before that.
The second it started ringing, Ryker answered.
“Vajra!” Seeing him even over a call was a relief like no other. He seemed distressed and she understood why. “You’re awake. Vik said he’d call me when you woke up.”
She leaned over the railing, looking down to the floors below. “I’m sure he just wanted to make sure I had some time to myself. It’s been... rough.”
Ryker nodded, his eyes searching for something to say, anything that would help. “Do you... want to talk? I can meet you, I got some free time.”
“Ryker, you’re the busiest person I know. You never have free time.” Vajra narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him. Though she started to smile, Ryker took this far more seriously. He wasn’t one to mess around when a friend was hurting and while he grieved Jackie’s passing, he knew she would need him.
“I’ll make time.”
With a drawn-out sigh, Vajra shrugged. An out of place smile on her face, “If you insist. Can we get something to eat? I’m starving.”
Quick to agree, Ryker finally returned with a faint smile. “Meet me at Jinya? Could go for some good ramen.”
“Be there in about an hour.” With a nod, Ryker ended the call. He seemed stressed out, which wasn’t uncommon. He was a hard worker and the last two weeks weighed heavily on him. So much time passed without a word from Vajra. When Ryker saw the news about Saburo and got a call from Viktor, he expected to be told Jackie and Vajra were dead. Instead, that was only partially right.
Vajra made her way to the elevator, slowly working off her stiff joints. She was excited to see Ryker, but there was a creeping fear he held her responsible for Jackie’s death. Nothing was telling her that, only her own deep-rooted fear.
She hit the ground floor button and waited. Even with all these people rushing through the streets, Night City felt dead without Jackie to light it up.

You’re the One My Heart Wants- Chapter 4
Word Count: 2,697 (a short one, sorry)
Warnings: This chapter has sensitive topics being addressed. It addresses someone coming out, and I’m not trying to say everyone’s coming out story is the same but they all aren’t always pretty. If that can be triggering for you, please don’t read this chapter. & Swearing
Author: Me
Y/N POV
“How ya doing, Kel?” I ask through a goofy smile. Kelley Facetimed me whenever their plane landed, and I didn’t realize it till she called me, but I needed to hear her voice and see her goofy smile after my conversation with Ali. “I’m doing swell, my friend. You know me, a little drinking doesn’t stop Frat Daddy Kel,” Kelley said confidently as I laugh at her response. “A little drinking? Are you sure we were at the same bars and same house last night?” I give her a knowing look. I know for a fact that she drank more than me and Alex combined, and yet I’m the one having trouble piecing together the end of the night. Kelley rolls her eyes and smirks at me, “That was ‘a little drinking’ for me, you’ve never been at my level before. You may try but you’ll always fail, Biggie Smalls.” I smile at the mention of my nickname. “How was Alex when you guys woke up? I figure she slept with you because it was just me and Luna downstairs when I woke up.” I sort of freeze at the mention of Alex but manage to recover before Kelley noticed. “She was asleep whenever I left with Ali, and then she was gone when I got home. I assume she’s okay,” I tell her. Before Kelley can answer, our conversation is cut off by Christen and Becky. “Hi Y/N! Can’t wait to see you in a few days for World Cup Training!” they both yell into the phone. I share in my teammate’s excitement while trying to think of something other than Alex for once, but of course, I fail miserably. I can hear Kelley yell “I love you, Y/N!” through all the commotion going on through my phone speaker, then the screen goes black.
After I get off the phone with Kelley, I figure I should send Alex a text:
“Hey, I got your note. Yeah, we can talk. Just let me know when and where and I’ll be there.”
After I send the text, I just fall back on to my bed. I go over the whole night in my head again, this was probably the hundredth time I’d done it since I got home from the hike: My house, Uber, drinks, Kelley’s horrible stories, more drinks, Uber, my house again, singing, dancing, even more drinks, my room, shower, Alex sleeps in my bed...That last part is what I’m trying to piece together, but it’s hard to piece it together when my brain only gives me some of the information. I rest my head in my hands, rubbing my temples trying to remember. Could it have been that bad? Did I do something wrong? Ugh. Brain, please fucking work...
I look up at Alex, and I can’t move. Like I physically can’t move, because I know how close our lips are and any movement would cause a possible mistake. We stay like that for what seems like hours, just staring at each other trying to figure out what to do next. Alex breaks the trance we’re both stuck in, by gently placing her hand on my cheek. My breath gets caught in my throat while I wait to see what happens next. Alex, through all of this, seems calm. Calmer than she was earlier, and she was definitely relaxed being propped up on me. I wasn’t ready for the next part. “Can I kiss you?” Alex asks softly.
I’m startled out of my thoughts when my phone starts ringing. I sit up and look down at the caller ID, which causes me to groan loudly. “Hi, mom,” I say, hiding my discomfort. I can only imagine what she’s calling me about this time. Probably to see if I’m taking care of my house, rather than actually asking how I’m doing. Or how soccer was going. She never cared to ask, never has and probably never will. “Hi, sweetie,” she says with a fake upbeat tone “I was just calling to remind you that we set up that date for you and that sweet boy, James, for tomorrow.” I roll my eyes at the sound of joy coming from the other end of the call. “I really can’t mom. I have training all day tomorrow and I have dinner with Ali and Ashlyn tomorrow night,” I say, hearing her annoyance with the last part. She didn’t like how much time I spent with them, but I didn’t care. “And I already told you, I don’t want to date anyone right now. Soccer is too important for me at this point and time,” I tell her, not hiding the unapologetic tone in my voice. There’s a long pause as I wait for my mom to answer, long enough for me to hear Ali and Ash walk in my front door.
As I continued to wait for my mother’s horrible response, no doubt, they both come in my room and sit on the bed with me. They both have confused looks on their faces, trying to figure out who I was on the phone with. I motion for them both to stay quiet as I put my mom on speakerphone. “Now what I don’t understand is why you care about that damn sport so much more than finding a husband,” my mom starts. Ali’s eyes widen after hearing my mother’s voice for the first time, and at what she said. I just adjust myself on the bed preparing myself for what’s to come from the storm that was my mother. “Both of your sisters are happily married to great men and have children of their own. Don’t you want that? Don’t you want a husband who can support and provide for you, along with giving you children of your own?” she spits out at me in a hateful, hurtful tone. Ash is the one who’s getting pissed off now. I can see it in her face. She was about to go off on my mother, but Ali keeps her quiet.
I sit there a moment staring at my phone, collecting my thoughts. I then look up at my friends, my moms, trying to figure out what they were thinking. Ash looked at me with a stone-cold face, probably from all the anger building up inside her. I learned that face from her a few years ago, and whenever I make that face around Ali she tells me I remind her of Ash which only makes me smile. Ali looked like she was lost in her thoughts, probably piecing everything together like me. She always had a view on things that others didn’t, because she always thought things through before speaking. I learned that from her during the Olympics. I used to lash out without thinking things through first and she called me out on it and told me I needed to slow down and think, then she told me how she always thought things through before saying anything. I admired her for that, so I learned how to control my thoughts before speaking because I wanted to be like her. The more I think about it the more I realize I am their kid, I’m a product of all their best qualities. This was my family.
I think everything through, knowing what could happen after I make my decision, but I still hope for the best. I let out a low sigh preparing myself for what’s to come. “ I don’t want a husband,” I finally say. Ali looks up at me, knowing what I’m about to do. “What do you mean you don’t want a husband?!” my mom yells, causing all three of us to flinch. “I mean I don’t want a husband. I don’t want anything to do with men, and I never have. That’s my decision, and that’s been my decision since I was 13 years old. No one, including you, will change my mind about that,” I state. I’ll be honest here and say I was slightly fearful of her response. Ali grabs my hand, comforting me, and Ash just stares at the two of us waiting for my mom to answer. The silence became deafening after a few minutes, causing me to feel slightly uncomfortable. “So, what you’re telling me is that you’re gay? Is that right?” she asks calmly to my surprise, but with a hint of disappointment in her tone. A tone I had been way too familiar with. I started crying silently as Ali pulled me close, rubbing small circles on my back. “Yes, mom. That’s what I’m telling you. I’m gay,” I finally manage to get out between sobs. All we hear next is the phone hang up. I stare at it for a moment, and at this point and time, it felt like everything around me had stopped. I grab the phone and try calling back, but the phone wouldn’t ring no matter how many times I try. “Oh god…” I whisper before falling back into Ali’s arms.
I start crying harder, knowing that I’m now disowned by my uneducated family at the age of 24, almost 25. How dumb is it for me to feel this way after everything they put me through like it could’ve been worse. They could’ve found out years ago and left me then, and then where would I be? Ali is still comforting me when Ash moves to my other side to give me a bear hug like she always does. I’m stuck in a Krashlyn sandwich, which I would normally get so much shit for from everyone else, but in this very moment, I’m extremely thankful for them. Ash is the one who breaks the hug and the silence, “You don’t need them, and they sure as fuck don’t deserve someone as great as you in their family.” When I look up at her, I see that she’s crying pretty hard. I turn to Ali and see the same from her. They were such badass people on and off the pitch, but no one gets to see them like this that often. They’re the most caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around, and they’d kick anyone’s ass for someone they care about (especially Ash). I’ll never be able to thank them enough for what they do for me, but I’ll sure as fuck try my best. “No matter what happens Y/N, Ash and I love you so much. Nothing will ever change that,” Ali says between sniffles. “Yeah Y/N, Ali’s right. We’re your family. We’re not going anywhere anytime soon. We love you, kiddo,” Ash says as she hugs both of us. I laugh and say, “Thank you guys so much. You don’t understand how much that means to me. I know you hate it when I call you two ‘mom’, but I look up to you both so much. I’m thankful that I have you both, and Logan and Uncle Kyle, as my family.” That makes Ali start crying more, holding me tighter. Ash smiles the biggest smile I’ve ever received from her.
After the family meltdown and another heart-to-heart, (damn two in one day??) Ali says she’s taking us all out to eat. It doesn’t take much convincing for Ash, who bolts to the car before I can get off the bed. Ali laughs as she hooks our arms together while we walk downstairs. When we get outside, Ash is already blaring music and yelling at us to come on. After eating we end up at one of the bars me, Kelley and Alex were at last night. Another thing I ‘get’ from Ash is having a good time while drinking. We could go all night without ever getting tired. It’s one of the things that Ali hates that I gained from Ash, she never drinks when we’re all together because she knows she’ll have her hands full. All the drinks and Ash’s singing brings me back to the night before.
Alex is still hovering over me, waiting for an answer. “Yes,” I say quietly after a long pause. I can feel her move closer, and she moves her other hand to my chin. My mind is racing and my heart is pounding waiting for her next move. She leans in, our lips touch softly for a moment before she pulls away. I lay there a moment taking in everything, trying to slow my breathing. She kisses me again, this time with more passion. My hands move to her hips as she climbs on top of me. The kissing continues for a while longer before Alex lifts my chin. She takes her chance to kiss my neck. She spreads small soft kisses all over my neck, causing me to let out a small moan. I can feel her smile against my neck as she continues. She pulls away after a few minutes and softly kissed my lips one last time. “Goodnight, Y/N,” Alex says, smiling from ear to ear no doubt. She then goes back to cuddling me, falling asleep almost instantly. I lay in disbelief of what just happened. Alex Morgan just kissed me, she kissed me a lot actually. Holy Fuck. I can’t have a crush on her since she’s drunk and probably won’t remember any of this, but honestly, I can’t help it. She’s a Goddess and she just made out with me. I have a crush on Alex Morgan. I’m so fucked.
“Y/N! Come on, we’re going home!” Ali shouts to me from across the bar. I guess I didn’t notice them getting up from the table. I get up and rush to catch up with them so they don’t leave me. The car ride to my house was extremely eventful. Ash was recording me and her for her Instagram story, no doubt, without Ali because she wasn’t participating in our fun. She records me singing some songs and playing my little air guitar. The car was filled with laughter, mostly from me and Ash and Ali groaning at us with a smile on her face. I took a second to think about my day. My family dropping me like I was nothing. Ali and Ash telling me I was a part of their family and that I always will be. I loved these goofs with my whole heart. I don’t know what I would do without them and their constant support, to be completely honest. I smile at them while they tell each other how much they loved each other. I wanted that kind of love someday, my moms looked so happy and that’s all I’ve ever wanted. “Hey, Y/N,” Ash slurs to me, causing me to be pulled out of my thoughts. “Yeah, mom?” I answer. “I love you, kiddo. Don’t you forget that,” she says with the biggest grin on her face. I notice her recording our whole conversation, and I let out a laugh. “I love you too, mom. I always will,” I say with a soft smile on my face.
When we pull up to my house, Ash begs me to stay with them tonight and Ali tells her that I can’t tonight but I would soon. This just causes Ash to frown with the biggest puppy dog eyes I’ve ever seen her make. I laugh as I hop out of the car and walk over to her side of the car. “I promise I’ll come stay soon, okay mom?” I say to her causing her to give me a small smile. I give her a quick peck on the cheek and tell them goodbye and that I’d see Ali in the morning for training. I guess I was so caught up in that, or too drunk, to notice the car in my driveway. Or Ali just failed to mention it since she was dealing with drunk Ashlyn. When I turned to my front door, it was her blue eyes that stopped me in my tracks. She was sitting on my front steps, and she looked like she had been crying.
“Hey,” Alex says with sadness clear in her voice.
To Be Continued

The Lucky Ones- part 2
Thank you guys for reading!! I hope you like this chapter :)
Read it on AO3 here !!!
part one / part three / part four
As soon as Neil made it back into his interim home, he spent hours pouring over the script Kevin had given him. Neil immersed himself in the pages of dialogue and stage directions, allowing himself to leave Neil Josten for a while and slip into the mind of Alex Howell.
The Foxes was a lot different than Evermore. Where Evermore focused on magic and fantasy elements, The Foxes had a modern setting, with no supernatural aspects. Rather than flashy effects and gripping action scenes, The Foxes depicted the messy lives and relationships of the students at Palmetto High School, specifically how they interact and respond in the wake of the murder of a classmate, all the while navigating friendship and romance and identity. Neil will be playing Alex, a transfer student who is chock-full of secrets, and seems to know more than he is letting on. The irony wasn't lost on Neil.
He tried to get some sleep, but only managed to toss and turn for a few hours, restlessness forcing his eyes open. Early morning light was just beginning to filter through the windows when Neil inspected the contents of his duffel bag, ensuring all of his belongings were still inside. He never unpacked the thing, or left it out of his sight long enough for someone to go through it, but he would rather be safe than sorry. He couldn't afford to lose these things; he would be completely alienated from all of his connections and resources if he did, losing contacts for quality fake IDs and coordinates for stashes of cash.
Neil desperately needed to run, craving the blankness of mind that comes with pushing his body to its limits, but unfortunately, abandoned houses weren't equipped with running water, and he thought it was probably bad form to show up for his first day sticky with dried sweat, for as soon as they landed in L.A., they would be heading straight to set so Neil could meet the cast and crew.
If the pale pink light coloring the walls was any indication, it was far too early for Wymack to retrieve him, but Neil was too agitated to lie around any longer. He settled for a walk, needing some sort of outlet for the nervousness slowly eating through his sanity. Motion had always been Neil's most conformable state; running was what he was used to, what kept him safe. There was comfort in it- in movement, he was always in a position to escape. Sitting still left him vulnerable. It was in stillness that he could be cornered.
Swinging his duffel bag over his shoulder, Neil turned and took one last look at the house. It was dingy, stains littering the ceiling and carpet, paint peeling off in large chunks, but Neil had kept it pretty clean. No one would suspect he had been squatting there for the past three and a half months. Neil took off without a backwards glance.
With hours to kill, Neil practically covered the entirety of the town as he walked. Residential streets eventually gave way to businesses- restaurants, doctors offices', the lone grocery store. Neil let his gaze dart around, checking for anyone hidden in the shadows, any strange cars passing him on the road. He knew this was a bad idea. Joining one of the most prominent shows on television was the exact opposite of what Neil needed to be doing if he wanted to stay alive. He needed to live in obscurity, and instead, he was pushing himself into the brightest spotlight he could find. Not to mention the fact that his personal life would be put on blast; the media loved to dredge up celebrities' private information. He wasn't sure his story would hold up under that kind of scrutiny. But he needed something, something to ground him, to sate this hunger for more than just survival.
Soon enough, the town started waking up. The streets began filling as people drove to work or dropped their kids off at school. There was a good amount of people walking as well, the town so small that it was easy enough to walk most everywhere you needed to go. Several people smiled as they passed Neil, some even waving in greeting; Neil instinctively dropped his head, letting his dark brown curls shield his face. Neil took the growing activity in town as indication that he should probably head towards the theater to meet Wymack.
Within ten minutes Neil found himself at the front of the theater. The building was deserted- no one had business at the theater at eight a.m. on a Monday morning. Neil sat on the concrete steps leading to the building, his knee bouncing as he waited for the ride that would take him away from this life, away from all he'd ever known.
The theater sat directly across from the high school. From where he was sitting, Neil could see the students lounging outside the building, chatting with their friends, waiting until the last possible minute to run into class. He had chosen to make Neil Josten eighteen when he moved here, even though he would not actually turn eighteen for five more months, so he had never been inside the school. Neil had been disconsolate when he arrived here; in the midst of altering his entire lifestyle so it would function without his mother, he didn't have it in him to bother with school. He also didn't want to worry about forging parental consent, which worked out well for Wymack's offer- being eighteen allowed him to sign the contract and work on set without required notification and consent of a guardian.
A honk startled Neil from his thoughts, his hands flying to his bag as his muscles tensed to run, but he relaxed at the sight of Wymack behind the wheel. Kevin was staring unabashedly at Neil as he stalks over to the black suburban. He slid into the backseat next to Andrew, and the smile he shot Neil was nothing short of venomous. Neil kept his face blank as he averted his eyes.
It was Kevin who spoke first. "Where is your stuff?"
"This is it." Neil tightened his grip on his bag as Kevin eyed it.
"Do you want to put it in the trunk?" Wymack asked. "We have a bit of a drive to the airport."
"I'm fine with it here."He could tell he had piqued Andrew's interest, could feel his eyes roving over his bag with renewed interest, but refused to acknowledge him. He could not give Andrew any indication of what this bag held, any reason to be curious about his belongings.
"Suit yourself," Wymack said, pulling the car onto the road. After moments of silence, he spoke up again. "So, Neil, you're familiar with The Foxes?"
"Sort of. I've seen a couple episodes." Without television or internet access, it was hard to find opportunities to watch.
"Wow, too good to act with us, and too good to even watch the show? You've wounded my pride, Neil," Andrew drawled from beside him.
Neil's jaw clenched, willing himself to maintain his docile persona. He didn't need to draw any unnecessary attention to himself, and certainly didn't need any enemies as dangerous as Andrew Minyard, if the stories about him were to be believed. "It's not that, we just didn't have internet access at my house."
"Your parents spend all that time working and they still can't afford internet?" Neil just looked at the blond, unable to come up with a response.
"Andrew," Wymack warned.
"We're all trying to figure out what the deal with your parents is. Well, I am, at least. My money's on them beating you, but Kevin and Wymack aren't the betting sort, so I'll have to take my wager elsewhere." Neil snapped his head up, meeting Andrew's taunting gaze. Neil knows he's just trying to provoke him, but it still unnerves him how close Andrew was to the truth after knowing Neil for an hour, if even.
"Jesus, Andrew," Wymack groans. "Cut the shit or I'll sign you up for the next marathon."
"I'm quaking in my boots." Andrew busts out in a fit of laughter that no one else joins.
Entirely ignoring Andrew's comments, Kevin steers the conversation back towards the show. "You'll need to watch the first two seasons before we can even think about beginning production." He twists in his seat to look at Neil. "Everything builds on itself in television; the plot of this season will be in direct correlation to the plot of the previous ones. It's important that you understand everything that has already happened, how the other characters behave and interact, so you can properly play your role. A lot of characters' backstories and personalities have already been explored in the earlier seasons, and everything that occurs in season three will be written with the expectation that the audience has seen the previous episodes and already knows these facts; we cannot repeat things for you. So these two weeks, while you familiarize yourself with the cast and the inner workings of screen acting, you will watch the show. Then we can get started on the actual acting.”
Neil knew all of this, of course, and was vaguely annoyed that Kevin was speaking to him like he was stupid, but he had told them he had no experience with screen acting, and an amateur would be hanging onto his every word. Unable to stoop that low, Neil settled on schooling his features into neutrality and offering a nod of understanding. But there was still another issue:
"How am I going to watch it?" Without a phone or a computer, there was no way for him to stream anything.
"You'll be staying with us in the cast house, and we have TVs there that you can use," Kevin said, either unaware of or ignoring Neil's confused stare.
Before he could ask Kevin about the cast house, Andrew spoke up. "Haven't you heard, Neil? We all live together during filming. One big, happy family." Laughter bubbles out of Andrew's chest.
This posed new complications for Neil. On one hand, he wouldn't have to waste as much money on housing and the like. He had been nervous about blowing so much of his resources on a house, since he imagined he wouldn't be able to get away with squatting on abandoned property with so many people watching him. He would probably still have to pay a portion of the rent and utilities, but it would be far less than he was expecting, and that lifted a weight off of his shoulders. On the other, it would make it a lot harder for Neil to keep things confidential. Not only would he be at risk for people looking through his things, if he had to run he would have a whole crowd of people to sneak past. He would have to keep his guard up all the time; one slip-up could cost him his life, and he would no longer have a space to drop his act.
The conversation dwindled after that, and the airport appeared sooner than Neil had anticipated. After checking their bags and going through security, the four of them walked to their gate and boarded the plane almost immediately. Neil was surprised to be seated first class; it made sense, he supposed, since he was flying with an acclaimed director and two of the most famous actors in Hollywood, but Neil had only ever flown in the economy class, he and his mother always opting for the cheapest option possible. The plush seats were roomier than the firm, cramped ones Neil had known.
He was sat with Wymack, Kevin and Andrew sitting together across the aisle. From what he'd heard in the news, Andrew and Kevin were practically inseparable, one hardly ever being seen without the other. If they were as close as the media seems to think, Neil understood why they choose to sit together, but Neil couldn't help a little stab of resentment when he realized they had left him with Wymack. He didn't have anything against the man, but he had a deep-seated fear of any man that was close to his father's age, and Wymack fit the description. Neil tensed as soon as Wymack fell into the seat next to him, his instincts revolting at the idea of sitting in close quarters with him. Neil clasped his hands tightly in his lap, willing his muscles to relax. After the plane plateaued in the air, Neil pulled out his script and begins analyzing the lines, chunks beginning to stick in his memory.
"It's important to read the entire script, so you know what is happening in the show as a whole, but after getting a general understanding of the episode's plot you should focus on your scenes. I know in theatre you have months of rehearsals to nail your lines, but screen acting is far more condensed. You have a couple of weeks now, but typically actors get the script only days before they begin filming. No need wasting brain space on scenes you are not even in."
Neil suppressed an eye roll at Wymack's unsolicited advice. His director filled the first half of the flight preparing Neil for what he would face when he arrived in L.A., explaining what the set would look like and how a typical day of filming would go. It had been many years since Neil had been on a set, and he had been a child at that, so he gladly absorbed all the information Wymack gave him. He told him a little bit about the main cast, and he told him that he and the rest of the cast will have biweekly meetings with their acting coach, Abby, courtesy of Kevin. Apparently, Kevin thought their biggest issue was that they acted as individuals, not as a team. In a scene, the actors need to draw from each other's energies and emotions to make the connection authentic, and Kevin's been working on making the cast more in sync. He and Wymack eventually settled into silence, Neil reading his script and Wymack typing away on his laptop.
The flight was pretty short, only two hours of airtime before they were landing in LAX. The drive to the studio was quiet, the occasional comment fading into silence. Neil was staring out the window, taking in the scenery of his new home. It was dirtier than he expected, but still nice. He assumed the beautiful scenery always seen in movies was towards the beaches, not in the middle of urban life, so he cut the city some slack. The sheer amount of people he saw passing by had him clutching his duffel bag tighter. It was too easy to get lost in a city this big, to disappear and have no one notice you're gone until it's too late. Neil had been looking over his shoulder his whole life, but that isn't always enough when people are coming from all sides.
They drove through security at the studio, providing authorization before parking in Wymack's designated spot. As Neil swung out of the car, he spotted a brown-skinned boy sprinting towards him, a grin breaking out on his face. If the curls didn't give the man's identity away, his personality did: Nicky Hemmick was bubbly beyond belief, his excitement making Neil vaguely uncomfortable. Walking at a much slower pace behind Nicky was a carbon copy of Andrew- his twin, Aaron.
"You must be Neil," Nicky panted, sticking his hand out for Neil to shake when he got close enough. "How was your trip? I hope Kevin and Andrew didn't soil your opinion of us; I swear, the rest of us have manners."
Andrew feigned hurt. "Here I was, expecting a touching reunion, and this is what I'm met with? Slander, and from my own cousin!"
"It was fine," Neil said.
"That's good to hear. I'm Nicky, by the way. I play Henry." Nicky's character had always been a fan favorite; many people found themselves relating to the sweet gay kid and the adversity he faced as he came out.
Neil pulls up a quick smile. "It's nice to meet you."
Aaron didn't so much as acknowledge Neil when he looked over at him. Wymack's gruff voice spoke up. "Is everyone else inside?"
Nicky nodded. "Anxiously awaiting our newest member," he said, sending a wink Neil's way.
With that, Kevin strode forward and Neil followed him into the building, Wymack, Nicky, and the twins flanking him. Kevin was pointing things out as they walked- where the bathrooms were, where the craft service was located- and eventually led him into the lounge, where the rest of the cast was sitting. Almost all of them stood as Neil entered, a tall boy with spiky black hair approaching him first.
“Matt Boyd," he said, extending his hand. "Wymack showed us some videos of you performing, you seem like you have real talent. We're excited to work with you."
"Speak for yourself," Aaron muttered from behind him.
"Thank you," Neil responded to Matt. The man only clapped him on the shoulder, not noticing the way Neil stiffened under the contact.
Matt pointed to the short-haired girl standing behind him, a fierce smile on her face. "This is Dan, our fearless leader." Dan Wilds played Kayla, the shows main protagonist.
"And that is Renee," he said sweeping his hand to a girl with a kind face and rainbow-tipped hair, before moving onto a couple, the girl sitting on the boy's lap, his hands running idly over her thighs. "And the PDA show stars Allison and Seth. Those two are always all over each other. Well, unless their fighting. Then you won't see them speaking unless it's to hurl insults at each other."
"We can hear you, dick," Seth seethes.
Dan steps forward, halting the brewing fight before it could take off. "It's really good to meet you, Neil. Kevin said you have already started looking at the script?"
"Yeah, I studied it last night, and on the flight."
"Perfect, we want you to be as prepared as possible for your first time on set. We have a training session with Abby tomorrow, so that will give us an opportunity to feel out where you are in your skills and how you naturally work with all of us. We can go from there." Neil simply nodded.
"The table read for the episode one will be in two weeks," Wymack says. "In that time, Neil, you need to be caught up on the show and familiar with the set. These guys will all help you if you have any questions. Now, I've got paperwork to do, so you maggots do something useful for once and show Neil around." With that, he strode out of the room.
Neil stood their awkwardly for a moment, unsure what to say, but Dan quickly came to his rescue. "Let's go, Neil. We can take you by your trailer so you can drop your stuff off, and then we'll show you the inner workings of a television set."
Neil followed Dan, with Matt, Allison, Seth, and Renee coming as well, but turned back to look at the group he was leaving behind. Kevin, Nicky, and Aaron were paying him no mind, not even noticing his gaze, but he found Andrew's eyes already on his. Andrew's intense gaze never wavered as a slow smile spread across his face. When Neil didn't break his stare, Andrew cocked his head to the side, flicking his fingers in a mocking goodbye.
Neil had the feeling he would be seeing a lot more of Andrew. And he doubted it would be friendly.

23rd of September, 2019 (09:16 on the 4316)
“does this bus go to k-arts?”
the bus driver continued to chew his gum, giving you a judging look. you furrowed your eyebrows, checking behind you before turning back to him.
“yeah,” he groaned, turning back to the road as you tapped your card and looked for a place to sit.
left side: no.
right side: no.
oh wait, yes. one.
you sighed, walking up the aisle and stopping at the back of the bus, indicating that you wanted the seat to the boy currently sat by the window. he removed his bag, placing it at his feet. you smiled politely, sitting on the edge of the seat so not to disturb him.
a baby cried and you put your headphones in, closing your eyes to try and calm them of the ache that was caused from lack of sleep.
23rd of September, 2019 (09:27 on the 4316)
“um, excuse me? sorry. i need to get off.”
you blinked, looking dazed at the boy in front of your face, he checked the doors, biting his lip as you bowed slightly, standing up quickly to let him out.
you sighed, sitting back down as you looked out the window. korean national university of arts.
wait.
“stop! stop!” you called, grabbing all your things and pressing the button for the door hurriedly.
the bus driver grumbled, stopping the bus and allowing you just enough time to stumble off before driving off, leaving you on the side of the pavement, gathering your stuff.
you mustered up a smile, looking forward towards your new university. your classroom for the next two years. your home away from home.
you pulled your bag over your shoulder, looking down at your student id card looped around your neck and nodded, walking forward through the gates of k-arts as an older boy approached you, wearing the school jumper.
“welcome! i’m chan, a second-year. what department are you attending with us?”
23rd of September, 2019 (16:13 on the 4316)
“could i...”
“sure! sorry, i’ll just–“ you took your folder off the seat next to you, making the seat available to the same boy as this morning, his hand outstretched towards the seat.
“thanks,” he smiled, taking his bag off as the bus pulled away from your school.
you smiled politely, turning your head to face out the window, the sky line of seoul looking really fascinating compared to the risk of interacting with a stranger.
your eyes couldn’t help but wonder, though. just to his lap. his thighs were thick and covered with harsh black jeans but everything he was wearing was black.
his phone was in his hands, his hands resting on his knees as he looked for his next song. 3racha? you didn’t know who they were but you made a mental note to check them out.
24th of September, 2019 (09:16 on the 4316)
you tapped your card and looked around for a seat, seeing a few but one in particular catching your eye.
in the back, next to the boy dressed in black.
today he was wearing a yellow plaid shirt, which made you smile. he didn’t strike you as someone who would wear yellow.
you made your way to the back of the bus, the boy’s eyes lifting to meet yours as you approached him until finally you sat, smiling at him as you did.
“thanks.”
27th of September, 2019 (16:30 on the 4316)
“i’m guessing you also go to k-arts.”
he speaks.
you looked at him for a moment and you were sure you looked like a deer in headlights.
“wh-what?”
he motioned to your student id card around your neck before taking his out his pocket.
“i go there too,” he said, “what’s your department?”
“m-my– oh! fine arts,” you said, “what– what’s yours?”
“music production,” he nodded, “are you a first year?”
you nodded, “yeah. are you?”
he nodded, smiling slightly. you smiled back, unsure of where to turn anymore.
“looks good,” he commented.
you furrowed your eyebrows, turning to him quickly, “sorry?”
“you- your artwork!” he stuttered, “it- it looks good. your art. in your folder.”
you chuckled slightly, looking down to your folder on the floor in front of you before turning back to him, “thank you.”
he smiled, “i’m changbin.”
“y/n.”
30th of September, 2019 (09:14 at the bus stop outside your house)
“oh! y/n?”
“changbin?”
changbin chuckled, “yeah, is this your stop?”
you nodded, “yeah. i live just there. what are you doing here?”
“my friend’s apartment is over there,” changbin said, pointing to the apartment block opposite, “i stayed the night.”
you nodded, sniffling as the bus pulled up, the doors opening. changbin smiled, motioning an arm for you to get on first.
“thanks, bin.”
4th of October, 2019 (18:40 outside the korean national university of arts)
“friday night!”
you chuckled, “yes because our friday nights are so wild.”
jisung laughed, “but going to sleep knowing you don’t have to get up for anything in the morning? wah, the best.”
you laughed, “what about saturday nights?”
jisung winced, “religion calls, my friend.”
“your religious?”
he snorted, “as if. i was raised a pure catholic though. so pure i now suck dick as a hobby.”
you laughed out loud, earning a small grin from jisung.
“you like boys?” he asked.
“sure, if i could get any,” you chuckled, the walk to your house seeming further and further as the autumn wind picked up.
jisung pouted, “that’ll change one day. also, this is me.”
you sighed, allowing yourself to be pulled into jisung’s warm embrace, finding it to be disappointingly short as you felt the cold wind on your arms once again.
“night jisung,” you called as he walked up to the apartment building.
he didn’t turn back but waved as he went before sticking his hands in his oversized pockets, he must’ve been cold too. good thing he was home.
“y/n!”
you looked around in confusion at the shout of your name, growing slightly scared.
“y/n!”
you looked around again, this time hearing footsteps getting louder and louder as well as someone’s breathing getting heavier and heavier.
“y/n! you– you weren’t on the bus,” he panted.
you turned to see changbin running towards you, making you chuckle, furrowing your eyebrows, “changbin what are you–“
“it’s cold, y/n,” changbin said, “and i don’t think you even own winter wear and you were coughing yesterday as a result so i got some for you. be careful. you’re getting a cold and i’m worried about you.”
“why would you—“
“because we’re friends now, no questions.”
your heart fluttered slightly as you smiled, letting him wrap the scarf around your cold neck and face, “thank you binnie.”
changbin smiled slightly, taking your hands to slide them into the gloves, “that’s okay y/n. now let’s get you home, huh?”
7th of October, 2019 (09:17 on the 4316)
“hey,” you smiled, sitting next to changbin.
changbin smiled, but it grew even bigger as he saw the scarf wrapped around your neck and your hands covered by the gloves.
he didn’t have the heart to ask for them back.
7th of October, 2019 (16:24 on the 4316)
“so um, i’ve been invited to an event where this band is playing, 3racha, and i wondered if you would like to come?” changbin offered, “you don’t have to i was just thinking that... um... we could, you know, get to know each other. it’s next friday, if you’re free.”
you hoped the scarf you were wearing was covering up the blush that appeared on your cheeks.
“y-yeah,” you smiled, “that’d be nice.”
11th of October, 2019 (09:16 on the 4316)
you tapped your card, yawning as you went to the back of the bus.
“hey,” you muttered, sitting down.
no answer.
you looked to your right and sure enough, no one was there. you looked behind and to the left and in front, but seo changbin was no where to be seen.
you were not in a good mood that day.
11th of October, 2019 (20:06 in chan’s house)
you stared at your phone, uneasy as you looked around. everyone here was a music major. you knew none of these people.
you sighed, stepping outside onto the balcony as you called changbin’s number.
“hey it’s changbin, or spearb. can’t pick up right now, just leave me a message and i’ll reply when i can.”
“changbin where are you? thanks for inviting me, but i think i have to leave,” you sighed, “i don’t do parties, changbin, there’s something to get to know me better. and where were you on the bus today?”
12th of October, 2019 (10:29 outside your house)
“i’m coming! one minute!” you shouted, shushing the mystery person as their knuckles continued to rap against your door, “patience!”
a slight chuckle came from outside as you opened the door, your mouth parting in shock as you saw changbin stood outside your door.
you sighed at the sight of him, still not amused after last night.
“i– i was wondering if you did brunch instead?”
12th of October, 2019 (10:45 at a brunch restaurant changbin found this morning)
“how did you know where i lived?”
“you pointed out your apartment block to me,” changbin said, “that morning at the bus stop? 123, just like you said.”
you tilted your head to the side, “i never thought you would’ve remembered that.”
“why? i have a heart, you know, despite what my friends say,” changbin said.
you chuckled, watching as he took a sip of his iced americano.
you’d discovered in the days that you’d spent with changbin outside the 4316 that he was actually very handsome. very broad and muscly too.
“so, y/n,” changbin started, “what do you like to do, besides brunch?”
you chuckled, “um, art, i guess.”
changbin nodded, his black eyes twinkling.
“i really, really like music,” you said, “just listening. i just appreciate it so much. it can make you feel things and imagine things and you can just get lost in it! isn’t that just the coolest thing?! and you can’t even see it! it just... surrounds you. without even trying!”
“that’s cool,” changbin nodded.
you blushed, sitting back in your chair, “sorry. i talk too much.”
changbin’s face formed a pout, “who told you that? i love your voice. it’s lovely. in fact, i think i could listen to you speak for hours.”
you chuckled, “thanks, bin. you know you’re nothing like i imagined you to be.”
“what do you mean?” changbin’s eyebrows furrowed.
“you have this persona. this aura,” you shrugged, “i mean come on. your a big guy with black hair and mostly black outfits. you’re quite intimidating.”
changbin chuckled, “well, i thought you’d be boring.”
“hey!” you laughed, making changbin laugh as well.
“i’m joking, i’m joking.”
you smiled, taking a sip of your drink as the waiter brought over your food.
“thank you,” you said, bowing politely as changbin did the same.
“so, binnie,” you said, testing the new nickname (and judging by the blush on changbin’s face - you’d say he liked it), “how’s music production?”
“you remembered?”
“of course,” you teased, “what? you think i’m that rude?”
changbin chuckled, eating his french toast before answering your question, “well, it’s a lot of work.”
you nodded, swallowing your food, “same as fine art. who knew you had to work at uni, huh?”
changbin laughed, nodding, “exactly. i don’t think i’ve slept in a month.”
you nodded, “so how was the party? i’m sorry again i just... i can’t really handle things like that.”
“why’d you say yes then?” changbin chuckled, “also don’t worry. i’m sorry i didn’t explain.”
“explain what?”
“um... well... see the um– you know i said there was gonna be a band there?”
you nodded, “3racha. you were listening to them the other day.”
“oh. well, i am a member of 3racha.”
“changbin!”
“shh, shh, y/n, we’re in public you idiot!” changbin whisper-yelled.
you leaned forward, looking around in apology at the people in the restaurant who were now staring at you.
you smiled slightly, bowing before turning back to changbin, “why didn’t you tell me, idiot?!”
“sorry,” he chuckled, “i guess i just wanted to surprise you? it’s me and two other boys from music production, but we’ve been doing it for a while.”
“oh, so chan,” you guessed.
changbin clicked his fingers, “exactly.”
“who else? i don’t know anyone else doing music production, oh! apart from my friend jisung! but you two don’t seem like the sort of people who’d be fr—“
“oh? han jisung?”
you nodded, eyebrows furrowed, “yeah.”
“yes, him!” changbin laughed, “that’s incredible! are you two friends?!”
you nodded slowly, “i met him in the canteen at school.”
“wow, what a small world,” changbin chuckled, continuing to eat.
you nodded, still shocked that your dick sucking friend was in a band with the boy you were pretty sure you were falling in love with.
wait.
“so um, changbin, do you have any... significant person in your life?”
changbin snorted, “is that your way of asking me if i’m single? because i am.”
you nodded, “cool, cool.”
“you okay? you’ve gone all weird all of a sudden,” changbin laughed.
“no, no! i’m fine!” you chuckled nervously, “just fine.”
“jisung’s bisexual, isn’t he?” changbin checked.
“wh-what?”
“jisung. is he bi?”
“i- i don’t know,” you stuttered, “i– i know he suck– he likes boys! but i– um... i don’t know about the girls.”
changbin threw his head back in laughter, “don’t worry, y/n, i know he sucks dick.”
you laughed at changbin’s straightforward-ness, watching as he continued to eat his food.
“i don’t like boys y/n.”
you shut your eyes, “that’s not what i—“
“don’t worry, i’m not offended,” changbin chuckled, “but i knew that’s what you were thinking. guessing you don’t do hints though.”
you shook your head, “please tell me straight up because i think i’m the most clueless person i’ve ever met in my life.”
changbin laughed, sitting back once he’d finished his food, “okay then. y/n, i like you.”
your heart pounded as you chuckled nervously, “i like you too, changbin.”
there was a pause as changbin put down his knife and fork, sighing. you were scared you’d said something wrong.
“no. i like you, y/n,” changbin sighed, “as more than a friend. i get concerned about you when it’s cold. when you’re not on the bus, i get off and go and check if you were in school that day. i think about you all the time. i’ve started writing love songs since i met you, y/n. love songs! i have no idea how to write a love song! i invited you to see me because when i’m on stage, i’m not changbin, i’m spearb. but after a lot of thought and a little speech from chan and jisung, i decided that changbin should get to be happy and get to be with you. not spearb. and i’m sorry if this is gonna make it really weird but riding the bus is my favourite part of the day and it’s driving me insane that you don’t know the truth!”
changbin stopped and took a breath, looking up to see you smiling.
“idiot,” you chuckled, “i like you too changbin. now do you want the rest of my food, because i’ve already eaten breakfast and you need to eat to gain more muscle.”
changbin smiled, “stop saying yes to things that i ask you to do if you don’t wanna do them. but yes, i want your food.”
you laughed, watching as changbin took your plate and started eating your food, “so... what does this make u—“
“you’re my girlfriend,” changbin said, a mouthful of pancake, “and that’s something that your gonna have to deal with now.”
you laughed, pinching changbin’s chubby cheeks, “i suppose i could get used to that.”
14th of October, 2019 (09:14 on the 4316)
“good morning, handsome.”
“good morning, doll,” changbin smiled, taking your hand in his as you sat occupied the seat beside him.
you turned towards him, leaning your head on his broad shoulder, “i missed you.”
changbin chuckled, “ah so we’re that couple, are we?”
you looked up at him, “what? i did!”
changbin laughed, kissing your head, “i missed you too, doll.”
yep, you thought as you felt changbin tap a slight rhythm onto your hand, you could definitely get used to this.

KYFC..: Chapter 16
Thank you! Thank you, everyone for your support and kind words. It’s been a rough week for a variety of reasons and just when stress was the highest, I got another curve ball. Gotta love that, not to mention your very own Cakey Jane using baseball metaphors. Haha. Anyway, I’m hoping things get better and that you all like the chapter. It has also been a source of anxiety for me and I’m a little hesitant to post it. Thanks to MyBAB, who keeps me on my toes and sometimes adds to my stress.
Here we go. John is on his way back to Detroit to hand in his resignation. No good can come of this.
---
You didn’t have to cut me off. Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing and I don’t even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough. --Gotye, Somebody That I Used to Know
Sherlock’s toes tap anxiously on the floor of his office. He can barely keep still, with no practice or even a team workout day, there is little to occupy his mind. Strategy, analysis and new plays usually fill his entire being on post-bout rest days. He certainly has enough work to do, but all he can think about is John. John, navigating the airport with Janine, getting onto the plane that will bring them home. Transporting her to the hospital after they land and settling her into their usual wing. He should soon be in the stadium where Sherlock can see him and make sure with his own eyes that John is well and truly safe. God, it will take everything in his power not to throw his arms around John or leap into the doctor’s arms and wrap his legs around the shorter man’s waist and never let go. Sherlock has spent a shameful amount of time thinking about such a scenario and has complete confidence in John’s ability to bear his weight.
He glances at the wall clock and eyes the red seconds hand as it drifts smoothly around the twelve, ticking off another minute. It is nearly 6:30 in the evening and Mike had sent a text when John left the hospital around 5. He should have been here long ago. The tapping of his toes increases as he continues to think through the day. He had texted John regularly in search of status updates and if he’s honest, because he simply wanted to hear from him, but had received precious few responses from the doctor and every one was brief. It might concern Sherlock if he did not know John more than had his hands full.
Even so, it does concern him. Why is John being so distant? Has he reconsidered what happened between them in Baltimore? Sherlock’s heart sinks as he plummets into the dark hole of doubt he keeps hidden deep inside his mind palace. John has had the time and space to regret it. He probably did go back to the Poe House for the scarf and their tour guide greeted him with it. She would flirt with him and he would respond in kind. Under the impression that John was interested, she had only come on to Sherlock so shamelessly to get John’s attention. A very odd strategy to Sherlock’s way of thinking.
He stops here to consider whether or not John was actually interested. He didn’t seem so inclined, but she was precisely his type, so it was possible. She clearly enjoyed sport. Anyone could see that from the scuffs on her shoes. Her deep love for baggy sweaters, something Sherlock has never understood, would draw them together as well. Add to that her bubbly personality and John couldn’t help but notice her a second time around. John probably went back for the scarf, wearing that absurd oatmeal-colored sweater he likes so much that does absolutely nothing for his figure, and she complimented him on it. They started talking and went to dinner, spent the evening together. Maybe John invited her back to the hotel for drinks and…
Sherlock stops again, closing his eyes and shaking his head like it will shake the thoughts free from his mind. He claws at the walls of doubt, trying to climb back up and escape, but the dirt crumbles in his fingers and he slides down again. He climbs desperately for what feels like hours and grasps at anything he can to pull himself free when he reaches the top. He opens his eyes to see he is still in his office, his laptop still open in front of him and the clock quietly ticking away more time. His gaze shifts around the room as if searching for something to settle on while he tries to think more rationally once again. Practically, John will go back to his own apartment, but there is no reason to believe he is out of danger. The lack of further attempts on his life means nothing.
Sherlock does not want him to leave regardless.
He buries his face in his hands and yawns wearily. Sherlock absolutely cannot think about that again. He sighs and opens his eyes, looking at the clock again. He couldn’t even begin to think about sleep the night before and never bothered going to his bedroom. The condo felt cold and lonely without John. Instead of doing anything productive, Sherlock sat in front of MST3K until he fell asleep on the couch somewhere in the middle of Catalina Caper. He awoke hours later, stiff and grumpy until he realized a text from John had been what woke him.
*In the cab heading for the airport. Things are looking good. Janine is not in pain.*
That was at 6:45am, since then there had only been infrequent updates. John would not even engage in conversation when they were on a god awful layover in Chicago. Honestly, why everything has to go through O’Hare is beyond all logic. Still, it is only a day of travel and should not worry Sherlock in the least, but it does. He looks at the clock again and stands to pace, stopping only when his phone suddenly rings. He grabs it quickly and raises it to his ear. The three seconds it takes him to glance at the caller ID and see it is not John slow into minutes, the very air around him crushing the hope right out of his chest.
“Greg,” he answers gruffly, resting one hand on the desk as he leans against it.
“John’s on his way to your office,” Greg replies without bothering to greet him. “He’s re…”
Sherlock doesn’t even let Greg finish as he abruptly ends the call when his door is pushed open without warning and John is suddenly standing before him.
“Sorry. Can I come in?” John’s voice is rough and uncertain.
“Of course,” comes an equally soft reply from Sherlock.
Sherlock watches him move deliberately toward the desk that separates them, only just keeping his own eyes from widening in surprise. John does not look tired from the day of travel and stress. He looks beyond tired. He looks wrecked. There is a stutter in his step and a look in his eyes that can only mean one thing: What transpired between them in Baltimore weighs heavily upon him. Sherlock’s heart sinks for the second time in mere minutes.
“We need to talk,” John avoids looking at him directly. His gaze darts around Sherlock’s desk almost frantically before settling on the stapler.
Those dreaded words. Sherlock said them to Victor once years ago.
“Yes,” Sherlock rasps, barely able to speak. He is glad Greg phoned him before John walked in so he could face the doctor from behind his desk. He could never make it through this conversation otherwise, his knees already threatening to buckle. He rests both hands on its surface and leans forward. “Greg mentioned it,” he says as evenly as he can.
“He told you?” John looks at him in shock. Trying to appear as normal as possible, Sherlock clears his throat and stands up straight to face him fully.
“He said you were on your way to my office,” Sherlock answers, frustrated that his voice is not his own. Wobbling at the most inopportune time imaginable when he would rather it be steady and reveal nothing. Sherlock takes a breath and tries to use the frustration to his own advantage, trying to compose himself for John’s next words. Trying and failing.
“Oh. Right,” John bites his lower lip and clearly steels himself. Every part of his body says regret. Sherlock closes his eyes slowly. He does not even try to stop himself from doing it, from showing his own emotions. He is too unguarded around John, too comfortable. He never should have let it get to this point or any point. Sentiment. He is such a fool.
“I’ve resigned,” John’s voice is barely above a whisper.
“What?” Sherlock wheezes, his eyes snapping open wide in shock.
“It’s for the best,” John states firmly, looking directly into his unabashed stare.
“No,” Sherlock’s voice sounds strange even to his own ears. He blinks as if trying to focus and closes his mouth with a pop. He feels like he is going to wretch. Staggering backwards, he nearly trips over his chair, but catches himself on the armrests and pushes himself back up. John’s hands reach out instinctively to stop his fall, but stop when he rights himself. They look at one another for a moment with searching, uncertain eyes.
What is going on?
But John doesn’t answer this time. Instead, his blue eyes turn to ice.
“You just have to trust me,” his voice hardens with his eyes.
“You can’t leave,” Sherlock’s words are coming faster and he doesn’t try to slow them down. He doesn’t care that it lays all his cards on the table or that his body language shows every bit of how he is falling apart.
“I’ll do what I want, Sherlock,” John nearly hisses, slamming his hands flat on the desk in anger. A plain, wooden pen holder falls to the floor and pencils roll under the desk.
“No,” Sherlock insists, tone bordering on desperation. He must stay calm. He cannot let his panic or frustration get the better of him. John is not going to listen if he flies into some kind of crazed, emotional outburst. Sherlock squares his shoulders and takes another deep breath. “You are an excellent physician. The team needs you. I know you haven’t been here long, but you have done so much. All the ladies trust you implicitly. And, frankly, so do I.”
He almost flinches. He sees something in John’s eyes, a glimmer of happiness that says what words cannot. When something means so much there is nothing to say. It fades right before his eyes. John’s shoulders fall as if under a crushing weight and Sherlock’s mind is awash with thoughts and feelings.
I trust you. I need you. I don’t let anyone in, not like this, but you opened the gates as if you always had the key. What happened, John? Tell me, please.
“John, I…” he can’t say it. He can’t risk it.
“Sherlock, I can’t. I just can’t,” John sighs, shaking his head. “I have to go. I’m sorry.”
“No, wait,” he rushes around the desk, but stops abruptly before reaching John, trying to gather himself. He must stay in control. He casts his gaze sidelong and curses his own feelings before looking back at John. “However you feel about me, about...what happened between us, don’t let it hurt the team. Please, John.”
He tries to keep his voice even, but it shakes slightly on the last two words. John stares at him with a startled expression on his face. Sherlock’s sturdy posture wavers as he watches John.
“How I feel about you,” John repeats in dismay, but goes quiet before saying more. He presses his lips into a thin line, affecting a grim countenance and shaking his head. “I have resigned. I’ve told Greg and now you. I’ll tell Mrs. Hudson tomorrow, put it in writing tonight. It’s done.”
Sherlock’s mouth opens, but no words come out. He takes a sharp breath, his eyes on John. How can he make him stay?
“I’ll start cleaning out my office after I speak with Martha,” John continues and then sighs heavily. He touches his own temples in a pained gesture that makes him look more exhausted than when he walked in. “I’m going back to my place tonight. I’ll get my things out of your flat tomorrow evening. I’ll ring you, so you can leave while I’m there.”
“John, no!” Sherlock truly is desperate now and doesn’t give a shit about hiding it or anything else. Fuck staying in control. God, how has everything gone so terribly wrong so quickly? “In Baltimore, what we did, what happened. We can forget it. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to mean anything,” he pleads with the man in front of him. If John wants him to, he can lock away all those memories and never touch them again. He has done it before. It will rip him apart this time, but he can do it. They can go back to being friends like before and maybe John would stay in the condo. They could be roommates, just roommates.
“It doesn’t mean anything,” John bites out the words vehemently.
Sherlock can’t stop a quick gasp and silence settles in around them. He can feel his face starting to crumble, his heart starting to fall apart, but just manages to hold his composure so he reveals nothing. All he allows is a mighty crease of his brow and the twitch of an eye. They are not together. They were never together, never a couple. His heart should not be shattered, but it is. It should not feel like his life is ending. John had warned him about this exact scenario. He said he could not love anyone romantically and, even if he could, why would he give his heart away after so little time had passed? He isn’t a complete idiot like Sherlock.
“Sherlock,” the name whispered between them catches his attention, even when he would rather look anywhere but at the man before him.
Sherlock’s grey eyes, filling with tears he will have to blink back, shoot straight to John’s face. The doctor is clearly beside himself, but trying to hide how undone he is. Somewhere in the background of his mind Sherlock knows that does not make any sense. The evidence does not fit the situation. John should be emotionless or even angry about Sherlock’s display, not anguished.
“Sherlock, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Of course it means something. It means…” he shuts his mouth and swallows hard. “It’s Moriarty. He wants to win it all and he’ll do whatever he has to.”
“What?” Sherlock squints in confusion at this sudden outburst of seemingly unrelated information.
“You are right, Sherlock,” he tells him emphatically, stepping forward and placing his hands on the coach’s shoulders. “Keep looking for evidence and watch out for...others.”
“Others?” Sherlock shakes his head slowly. This is not at all what he expected, not by a long shot. He finds his mind shifting from his own panic and sadness toward this new mystery. Part of him tries to stop it, knowing he should stay focused on John, but he cannot. John’s words begin running through his mind over and over again, trying to piece it all together and it takes only seconds for it to fall into place. Something happened while John was in Baltimore alone. It scared him. Moriarty got to him.
“What did he do?” Sherlock hisses.
The words are out before Sherlock even has the chance to think. His voice is quiet and deadly serious, demanding an answer, but John continues as though he did not hear him.
“It’s Janine. She…” John is warring with himself and if Sherlock was not so distracted with his own thoughts, he would already know exactly what John is trying so hard not to tell him. “Watch everyone! Don’t trust anyone,” John insists again. Suddenly his hands are off Sherlock’s shoulders and he is heading for the door. Sherlock cannot process what just happened or what John said and didn’t say because John is leaving and he can’t. He can’t!
“John, don’t go! Don’t go!” Sherlock lunges forward and wraps his fingers around John’s wrist, holding it with unrelenting strength. “Please, I can’t do it on my own.”
“You’ll be fine, Sherlock,” John says into the space between them, refusing to meet his eyes.
“Yes. Fine, but I don’t want to be fine. I don’t want to be anywhere without you,” Sherlock’s words are coming fast, faster than he can think and he has to think faster. John can’t go. He can’t let him go.
“I need you,” Sherlock whispers, unshed tears obvious in his voice.
Sherlock does not know if he said that out loud or in his head. He doesn’t care, doesn’t care what he says or reveals. John has to stay. He can’t lose John.
“I love you! I love you,” he blurts in a ragged tone.
They stare at one another. Sherlock is breathing hard, chest heaving. He does not take his eyes off John, his shoulders bobbing up and down less and less as his breathing returns to normal. His mind finally catches up with his traitorous panic and instantly rebukes. Idiot! But he ignores it and repeats quietly.
“I love you,” his voice is clearer now. Calmer and more collected as his overactive mind comes to rest. He is stating the truth and has never felt more free.
***
“You...you...you can’t,” John’s voice rasps, his eyes wide in shock and disbelief. He shifts his weight and furrows his brow, a little frown of lines appearing between his eyebrows. Pressing his lips together, he studies Sherlock intently, searching his eyes. “What? You, what? No. No, Sherlock, just no.”
John shakes his head harder with every word that leaves his lips. He tries taking a step toward the door, but the long fingers already wrapped around his wrist tighten. He looks down at those fingers and then back to the coach, seeing a determination that tries to hide pain.
Fuck. Fuck!
He’s hurting Sherlock. He hadn’t meant those words to sound the way they did. He’s fucking up the whole thing.
“That’s not what I meant,” he begins, but flails. “You… You haven’t known me five minutes. These things take time, feelings take time to form, don’t they? Sherlock, you don’t know me,” he pleads.
“I have not known you long, true,” Sherlock licks his lips, looking at John like he is a spooked deer, “but can we agree that I know you well?”
John does not answer, too shocked to speak, but he nods in affirmation.
“Good. That’s good,” Sherlock inches closer.
John keeps his gaze on those grey eyes. He could get lost in them, swim in them for hours. He will never tire of them, or of this man. It is all too much and not something his brain is used to handling. His feelings for Sherlock are so strong and he has no idea how to feel about that or what to call them. John does not feel this way about people. It is not that he doesn’t care, he just…
‘I do believe he cares for you.’
“Is there anything in particular that you are hiding from me?” Sherlock asks over Moriarty’s voice in John’s mind. His eyes focus in again.
“Well,” John swallows, “no. I mean, apart from the not falling in love thing and I told you about that. ’Course I would have thought that’d send anyone running.”
“It hasn’t,” Sherlock’s voice is soft, but steady and his grip loosens slightly. He takes another small step closer.
“So I see,” John replies slowly, full of hesitation.
They stare at one another for a long time, each one willing the other to understand what words cannot say. Finally, Sherlock breaks the silence.
“I know I’m not qualified to explain this. Molly has always been far better at it than I,” Sherlock puffs out a breath, a wrinkle of concentration appearing between his eyebrows. John bites his lip and watches the man search for the right words, marveling at how adorable he is and trying not to show it. “She tells me to follow my heart. It’s not a precise science.”
Sherlock stops suddenly, his face full of doubt.
“Look, what I said, it doesn’t have to mean anything. We can forget it,” Sherlock shakes his head, trying for nonchalance and failing.
“No,” John interrupts, taking his own step toward the taller man. They are very close now. He watches Sherlock with a steady gaze, finally feeling the befuddlement lift. It is like stepping from a thick fog and he can finally see the man more clearly. “We can’t. It means too much. It means...everything.”
Sherlock blinks his eyes wide. They sparkle and shine, and John cannot take his own off of them. He wants this man like nothing else in his life. It is not just sexual desire and is not like caring for a friend. John most certainly does care, but it is so much more than that. It is confusing. He still has no idea what to call these feelings or how to handle them. What should he do? What is he supposed to think? It is completely and utterly baffling.
John swallows and lets his lips part, his gaze locked on Sherlock’s face. It falls quickly to the soft, full lips that John felt against his own only two nights ago. They dropped kisses on his neck and body, hot and wanting. He is sure his eyes must be dilated, his face and neck flushing. John shuffles closer and takes Sherlock’s free hand in his own. He can feel Sherlock’s breath on his face, warm and welcoming. John wets his lips and tilts up on his toes as Sherlock bends his neck down and their lips meet.
The kiss is gentle and sweet. John still does not know what this baffling feeling is, but he tries to put every ounce of it into this perfect kiss. It flows through every part of his body and into Sherlock and back. This kiss, it has to be perfect...because it has to be their last.
“I’m sorry,” John pulls away. “I can’t. I can’t stay. I can’t do this.”
“John,” Sherlock’s eyes snap open, his face rife with despair.
“I can’t,“ he pushes Sherlock away with enough force to knock him back two steps. John feels it in his chest suddenly and winces. The pain of his heart clenching and then trying to defenestrate from his body through any window it can find only to thunk into his chest cavity and fall lifeless and defeated. Resisting the urge to clutch at the nearly unbearable pain, John shakes his head and tries to concentrate. He avoids Sherlock’s eyes.
“I don’t know what it means, Sherlock,” he declares in frustration, not even aware of what he is saying until his mind catches up. “I don’t understand it or how I feel about it, but it’s all… It’s exactly why I have to go.”
“To protect me,” Sherlock ventures as if he already knows exactly what Moriarty said to John and only needs confirmation.
“Yes. No!” John looks at him in growing panic. He can’t say anymore, shouldn’t say anymore. He risks Sherlock’s life with every word. He needs to leave. He never should have come. He should have gone to his flat and phoned Sherlock to tell him all this.
John turns for the door, but Sherlock grabs hold of his arm and yanks him backwards. John twists to free himself, but just gives the lanky-armed bastard more to lock claws on.
“Let me go,” John glares at Sherlock’s hand and then meets his gaze again. He repeats himself in a low, dark voice. “Let. Me. Go.”
Sherlock does not obey the command and the part of his brain works through every strategy, every bout, seems to have kicked into overdrive.
“You’re afraid of Moriarty,” Sherlock is saying now and goddammit, John has already killed him.
“No, Sherlock! Let go,” John lurches forward, taking the coach with him. He has wrapped his long limbs around John like a snake and any attempt to escape results in tightening coils.
John lurches again and they slam against the door. Rolling them against the wall, John pins Sherlock with his body and tries to wiggle free. When he succeeds in getting an arm out, Sherlock pushes off the wall and sends them tumbling to the floor. John comes down with a crack, the coach atop his body. Sherlock takes advantage of the split-second pause John needs to get his bearings, quickly straddling his hips and pushing his wrists to the floor with his hands. Though the two men are very similar in strength, the force of his weight and the fulcrum created by his height play in Sherlock’s favor.
“Sherlock, get the fuck off of me!” John shouts, thrashing this way and that.
“Talk to me, John! Tell me what’s wrong,” Sherlock insists, struggling to hold him still. “Please don’t shut me out.”
“Get off!” John huffs angrily.
“We can do this together,” Sherlock implores.
“No!” John shouts.
“Tell me why you’re doing this because this isn’t you,” Sherlock is begging now and it is tearing at John’s heart.
“It’s too dangerous!” John blurts, already hating himself. He wrenches his arms from Sherlock’s grip and twists his body into a roll. Unfortunately, the bastard just uses the momentum to roll John onto his back again. He looks down at the doctor and grumbles in frustration. John can feel it rumble through his chest. He tries to continue the struggle, but his heart is severed and bleeding out. John is exhausted. He wants to stay with Sherlock forever, but protecting him means leaving. He squeezes his eyes shut and doesn’t try to stop the moisture in them from slipping out.
“Tell me, John. Please,” Sherlock’s voice is low and gentle. It pleads and also demands. It is that voice that makes John stop trying to free himself. That soothing voice coupled with gentle hands tracing a path down his chest.
He raises his gaze to look at Sherlock, beautiful and panting. John’s hands come to rest on Sherlock’s thighs and another tear slips from his eye. He lets his body relax as he loses himself in those eyes, swirling and deep. Greens and blues merging with grey, all focused on John. They can see into John’s mind and pull free the worry and fear.
John tilts his head to the left and looks at Sherlock thoughtfully. Warm fingers cup his cheek, a thumb wiping away a tear that slowly trickles down. John closes his eyes again and leans into the touch. He can still see Sherlock’s face in his mind’s eye, smiling like he has a secret only the two of them know. His lips part as he bends forward to whisper in John’s ear:
“He threatened you...forcing you to resign...we’ll do it together...you’re not alone...never alone…”
“Sherlock,” John gasps, opening his eyes and seeing that the two of them are now side by side facing one another on the floor. When the hell did that happen? His eyes were only closed for a moment. Sherlock is looking at him, searching. Had he asked a question? And then it hits John with the force of a truck.
Alone.
John had felt it deep down in his bones when Bill died, the crushing sense of being truly alone. It took a long time, but he had moved on. At least, he thought he had worked through it and left those feelings behind. Now John can see that he only hid it from himself. Somehow, over the years, especially since his parents died, he convinced himself that alone was better. Alone is what I have. Alone protects me. No real relationships, no love, or close friends. Nothing to tie him to anyone and then coming here turned his life upside down. He likes the skaters, genuinely. And Greg and Martha and Sherlock. He likes Sherlock? No, it’s more. So much more and something he can’t even begin to understand.
“He threatened you,” John finally says in a soft, breathless tone. He meets Sherlock’s eyes and cups the man’s face with both hands. “He will kill you. If I stay, if I tell you anything about why I’m leaving, if I do anything but resign and go, he’ll kill you. You’re too important to me, Sherlock. You’re...I…”
John trails off as his voice gives out. He has no idea what to say anyway, and no idea what he even wants to say. He wants Sherlock to know, to understand how he feels, but he is not sure himself. What he does know is that he has put Sherlock in grave danger. He has killed him with his words.
“God, what have I done?” John mumbles as he releases Sherlock’s face and covers his own eyes.
“He’s lying,” Sherlock’s voice books no argument.
“What?” utter confusion showing on John’s expressive face as he uncovers it.
“He’s not going to hurt me,” Sherlock sits up and offers his hand to John, who takes it and pulls up to sit with him. “If I was a target, he would have made it known by now.”
“And you’re willing to risk your life on the strength of that?” John asks incredulously.
“Yes,” Sherlock answers simply. “He wants me to witness his victory. To feel the defeat knowing I have done everything possible to stop him and failed. That is what Moriarty wants.”
He leans close to John and covers his hand where it rests on the floor between them.
“He won’t hurt me,” he smiles softly at John.
“I wish I could believe that,” John says, resigned.
“It’s true, John. I’d stake my life on it,” Sherlock promises.
“You are,” John snaps louder. Incredulous disbelief racks his body, making it restless and twitchy. He wants to put his hands on Sherlock’s shoulders or around his arms, but sort of gestures aimlessly between the two of them instead. “I can’t believe you’re being so blase about this. We’re talking about your life!”
“And Molly’s and yours,” Sherlock finishes, watching John with razor sharp eyes. With this one look Sherlock makes it clear just how seriously he takes it. “And every skater on our track. You help keep us all safe and alive when we are all at risk. Think, John, think!”
He grasps John’s arms hard, his eyes intense and completely focused on the doctor. John knows exactly what Sherlock is going to say and it is a sound argument. Can he really step away from the team knowing the danger they are in?
“Molly would be dead without you! No one else would have seen what you did in time to save her. That’s why Moriarty wants you to walk away,” Sherlock sounds so sure.
A thought unbidden pops into John’s mind and it sets every gear turning in the opposite direction. How likely is Moriarty to honor their agreement? Rock City and its coach with no doctor…not likely.
“You are a complication, John. An unknown variable. He will tell you whatever he needs to to make you go. He. Is. Lying,” Sherlock pauses to really look at John and, for the first time since Baltimore, John opens himself to the man - mind, body and soul. Sherlock’s mouth falls open at the sudden contrast and John almost wants to giggle, in spite of himself. The quippy coach, brilliant and ever unruffled in post-bout interviews, is speechless. John wants to kiss him. He wants to pull him to his body and kiss those ridiculous cheekbones, his forehead and nose, cheeks and eyelids. God, this man. John has no idea how to understand the depth of his feeling for this man.
“You’re right,” John nearly gasps, the air heavy with emotion. He swallows hard. Swallows down the desire to forget it all and just be with Sherlock. “Whether you’re on the list or not, he’ll keep to his plan. My leaving just increases the danger.”
John nods as he speaks, more to himself, but agreeing with Sherlock nonetheless.
“Exactly,” Sherlock says sensibly. His expression is a bit smug and smacks of ‘There is no other way to view it, John’.
This time the doctor almost does smile, but holds it at bay. There is one more very important thing he must say to the infuriating man before him. John reaches for him quickly, cupping his face in between his hands. Sherlock’s cheeks are warm and soft and perfect on John’s palms. His thumb strokes a cheekbone of its own volition. John looks deeply into those grey eyes. Flecks of green and blue sparkle back, telling him everything, every secret of a man normally so guarded.
“So help me, Sherlock, if you are wrong, I don’t know what…” John’s voice hitches and the words are gone. His tone was a raspy whisper said all in a rush and he thought he could make it through, but welling emotion got the better of him. He swallows hard and tries again.
“I don’t know what I would do,” he drops his head.
It’s true. It may be ridiculous, but it’s true. John has never needed anyone, not since Bill and his parents were gone, and that was fine. He built up his walls and did his job, lived his life and then in walked Sherlock Holmes and it was just....fate.
Words suddenly fill John’s mind, reverberating off the walls of his skull. A song he has not heard in years. Not since he watched a certain movie with his mother. It was the last one they saw together.
I’ve grown accustomed to his face. He almost makes the day begin.
How many times has he felt that way as he walked into Sherlock’s kitchen to see him standing by the stove, making those special eggs?
“Oh god, Sherlock,” he breathes, a tear streaking down his cheek. “I want you in my life. I want you forev…”
John bites his lip. Keeps in the word.
Sherlock watches him with soft and shining eyes. He sighs and tilts his head in John’s hands as he closes the gap between them. Pressing a soft kiss to his lips, Sherlock breathes against John’s mouth and then tips his chin down to rest their foreheads together.
“I will always be by your side, John. Always,” he promises and for the first time in a long time, John believes those words wholeheartedly.
---
Yay!! Yay, Jane, you have taken mercy upon us! John tried, he did, but lying to Sherlock was too much for him AND he’s that much closer to seeing his true feelings for Sherlock. How great is the moment when Sherlock just blurts it out? “I love you!” and he doesn’t try to take it back. He just lets it be. John’s reaction is the greatest too. “You...you can’t. You haven’t known me five minutes.” Hahaha! I love it! I mean, I’m clearly biased so please let me know what you think. I don’t want to beg, but I’m not above it and it has been a bad week. Any encouragement is more than welcome and VERY appreciated. You all mean so much to me. I’m going to be honest. The next couple weeks could be hard and I may not get the next two chapters out on Sundays, but I’ll do my best. Please be with me in spirit. I will definitely be with you. Until next time, my friends. I love you. Jane

Not sure if I already sent this request. I honestly can't remember, so here I am requesting it again. The reader, Malcolm's so has a really good singing voice, its strong, powerful, and passionate. One day he hears it and immediately is left in bewilderment about her rare voice type. He asks her how she does it and is just overall is adorabley curious and in love.
This is the song I listened to while writing this. I realize it’s a cover of the song put through a nightcore filter, but it’s what I imagined when describing the reader. There are no trigger warnings with this one, so enjoy!
youtube
Malcolm stood beside his bed, looking out the window at New York. He let out a deep sigh as (Y/N) slept peacefully behind him. It was his birthday, a day he dreads. His birthday was a month after the anniversary of his father's arrest. As a child, he was mute at the time and took no pleasure in anything, much less a birthday with an absent father. Jessica had thrown a lavish party, like all of the years before, and Malcolm sat quietly in the corner by himself as the other children played happily around him. Every birthday after that was nothing but a reminder of how he felt during that time. (Y/N) let out a soft moan and moved a little under the covers. She opened her eyes to see Malcolm standing by the window, mug in hand. She stretched out from underneath the covers and said, "Good morning." Malcolm smiled. Even if today was a bad day, at least he had (Y/N) to make him happy. He turned around to reveal a second mug in his other hand, which he offered to her. "Good morning. How did you sleep?"
She held the warm mug and smelled the coffee. "Really well, actually. You?" "I didn't sleep much, but I at least didn't have a night terror." Malcolm's phone started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Gil. "Sorry, I have to take this." Malcolm went downstairs as (Y/N) got dressed. Gil called him about a new murder and asked Malcolm to come to the crime scene. When (Y/N) made her way downstairs, Malcolm told her about the call. As he was putting his coat on, (Y/N) asked, "Are we still having dinner with your mom tonight?" Jessica was insistent that they celebrate his birthday tonight with a lovely dinner, but he didn't want to celebrate a day that brought back such bad memories. He hadn't even told (Y/N) it was his birthday because he didn't want to celebrate. Malcolm tried to hide the frustration in his voice. "Yes, after I'm finished today at the precinct I'll come back and we can go over there together." (Y/N) smiled at him. "Ok, then. Have a good day sweetheart." She gave him a kiss on the cheek as he left the apartment for the day. She had the day off from work and she was going to utilize it. (Y/N) knew about his birthday because Gil told her, and she was planning on baking a cake for Malcolm. It was going to be his favorite, a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. (Y/N) got started right away because she wanted to have enough time to decorate the cake. She was bringing it to a surprise celebration at the precinct with the rest of Malcolm's team at the end of the day before going to dinner at Jessica's house. (Y/N) worked methodically but felt weird standing around in silence. She didn't feel like turning on the TV, so she decided to listen to some music. She actually had a playlist of love songs she secretly listened to when she was thinking about Malcolm... She let it blare from speakers she had connected to her phone because no one was there to complain about her noise. She happily sang along to a mixture of songs, including some that were just karaoke versions. There was something about singing a song and making it your own that she enjoyed. (Y/N) had finished baking the cake and put on a crumb-coating when Malcolm was unlocking the front door. He paused for a minute as he listened. Was that... music? He entered just as (Y/N) shut the refrigerator door. Malcolm thankfully didn't see the cake she stowed away, but was intrigued by what he did see. She hadn't noticed him come in and was still singing. The speakers were playing a karaoke version of 'Never Enough' by Loren Allred, and (Y/N) was singing like she was performing on stage. Malcolm was in awe. Her voice was strong and powerful, pushing through the loud parts of the song but with a smoothness he hadn't ever heard before. And when she sang the soft parts her voice carried it's power, but in a different way. He could feel it in the air, that she truly meant every word she sang with all of her heart. Her voice was beautiful and inspiring, and he thought it could surely heal even the most broken of hearts. He stood there, silently, listening to her sing. It was even more captivating to hear such a strong and unique voice coming from someone that was just singing to herself as she flitted around the kitchen. Her voice engulfed him in that moment. (Y/N) started to tidy up when she turned around to pick a spatula up off the the island. She jumped and let out a small scream when she saw Malcolm standing in front of her, eyes wide. "How long have you been here?!" She desperately hoped he hadn't seen the cake. Malcolm had to shake himself out of his stupor. "Uh, only a minute, but..." Oh no, he was going to ask about the cake. What should she say? There isn't any reasonable explanation for coincidentally baking a cake on someone's birthday, is there? Her racing thoughts were stopped suddenly by his words. "You were singing?" She let out a small sigh of relief. He must not have seen the cake if his only concern is her embarrassing singing voice. (Y/N) became sheepish as she looked at the ground, wringing her hands, and blushed. "Yeah, I'm sorry I was so loud." She reached over at this point to stop the music on her phone. "No, it's... How do you make your voice sound like that?" He still had this look of awe and shock on his face. She looked back up and into eyes. "I... What do you mean? That's what my voice sounds like." (Y/N) started laughing. It's like he asked her why her face looked the way it did. Malcolm remained serious. "I've never heard a voice so powerful and beautiful." (Y/N) walked around the island and up to Malcolm. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled wide. "Aww, thank you. No one's ever liked my voice before." His seriousness broke as he smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Well I love it. Will you sing for me sometime?" "Of course." She gave him a quick kiss. Malcolm looked around as he asked, "What's that smell? Have you been baking?" He looked back at her with his eyebrows raised quizzically. Her heart stopped. It still smelled like cake in here, but she had to keep his birthday surprise a secret. "Ummm... Oh! No, I bought a new candle." "It smells good. But where is it?" "I already blew it out and put it away. You just missed it." "Oh." He returned to smiling at her. This was nice. He hadn't expected to smile like this on his birthday. Then it hit (Y/N) that he was supposed to be at work. "Did you get off early? Or..." "That's right! I forgot my glasses." Malcolm let go of (Y/N) and went upstairs to get his reading glasses from his bedside table. He could see well enough without them, but he usually wore contacts instead of carrying his glasses around. Today was a break day, when he would wear glasses to let his eyes take a break from wearing contacts. When Malcolm came back downstairs with his glasses he walked past (Y/N) and she reached out to touch his arm as he passed her. They said goodbye and (Y/N) took a deep breath. That was close. (Y/N) spent the rest of the day decorating the cake, and the finished product still looked homemade but was pretty. She waited until she got a text from Gil letting her know that they were wrapping up for the day at the precinct and she should come by with the cake. She packed it safely in a cake case and started her journey. She snuck into Gil's office and he said he would be back with Malcolm. (Y/N) uncovered the cake and started to light the candles as Dani, JT, and Edrisa joined her. When Gil came back, he opened the door for Malcolm and everyone shouted, "Surprise!!" Malcolm's look of surprise faded into a wide smile. "Guys! What is this?" (Y/N), holding the cake, looked at the others and started singing 'Happy Birthday.' Edrisa joined right away and the others joined in quietly and slowly. (Y/N) beamed at Malcolm as she sang. And there it was again, that beautiful voice. Malcolm never intended to be happy on his birthday. He never intended to celebrate it with his friends and his girlfriend, but here they were, making him smile. This was the happiest birthday he could remember having in a very long time.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch/Colin Ritman imagine - Noticed
AN: Well since no one else is writing for my man I might as well. Also I literally spent like 4 hours watching Bandersnatch to get all the endings so love my life.
Summary: You’re Stefan’s twin sister and what you thought would be one quick errand to help Stefan actually turned out to be the best thing that happened to you because that’s when you met Colin Ritman...
Pairing(s): Colin Ritman x Reader, Stefan x Sister!Reader
Word count: 2,411
Warnings: This is smut. Strong language. Office/public s e x. Rough s e x. Choking.
Today was the day that your brother was actually going to to Tuckersoft. You watched him leave for the bus from your bedroom window as you listened to your father washing the dishes downstairs.
You walked into his room and stopped in front of his desk. You looked over to your right to see the family photo sitting on a shelf and you quickly looked away. You didn’t like looking at pictures of your mother, it brought up bad memories. You never understood how Stefan could have that picture in his room.
You looked down to see Stefan had left his notebook with all his notes on his desk and you debated for a moment whether he would need it or not for today. You figured it was better safe than sorry and after all that's what you were for since the death of your mum. You were always looking out for your brother.
You took to the streets and caught the next bus to the new Tuckersoft building.
You were surprised they let you inside and up to the office floor when all you said was that you were Stefan Butler’s sister. No proof of ID or anything. Clearly they were a pretty trusting company.
You walked across the large office floor to see Stefan about to enter an office behind two men and so you called out his name.
“Stefan!” You picked up your pace as you strode across the floor to reach him and he turned around at the mention of his name.
“(Y/n), what-what are you doing here?” He asked, obviously a little confused that his sister had followed him.
“You forgot your notebook and I didn’t know if you needed it but I thought better safe than sorry.” You rambled quickly as you thrusted the book into his hand.
“Thanks.” Stefan nodded.
“Who’s this Stefan?” The older one of the two men behind Stefan pushed his way through the door and smiled at you as he adjusted his blazer.
“Um, this is my...my sister, (Y/n).” Stefan introduced you. “(Y/n), this is Mr Thakur.”
“Sister?” Thakur rose his eyebrows at Stefan.
“Are you twins?” A voice rose from behind Stefan. The blonde boy whom which the voice came from leant against the door frame as he looked at you. For the matter of fact, he hadn’t taken his eyes off you since you made your presence known.
“Um, yeah. How did you know?” Stefan asked as he clutched his notebook between his hands.
“Lucky guess.” The boy stated, his eyes still locked on you. There was a split second before he offered his hand. “Colin.”
You stepped forward and took it, your eyes finally meeting Colin’s properly.
“Alright, well, thanks for bringing Stefan’s book but we have a meeting to do.” Thakur brought the attention back to him as he clapped his hands together.
“Right, I’m sorry. Stefan, do you want me to wait?” You asked, dropping your eyes from Colin’s.
“––No.”
“––Yes.” Colin answered as Stefan did. There was a pause as Stefan and you both looked back at Colin. Colin cleared his throat and stepped back into the office with a swing.
“Nice to meet you.” Thakur took your hand and shook it as he winked before they all dispersed into the office.
You decided to wait.
You sat on one of the chairs in a little empty cubicle and waited.
You get bored quickly and you didn’t know how to long the meeting was going to actually be so you decided to find the bathroom. You hadn’t really made the best effort on your appearance as you were just there to drop off a book and you wanted to see if you could fix the mess that was your hair before they finished the meeting.
As you returned from eventually finding a bathroom, you saw Stefan and Colin at his desk. Stefan was writing something down before he took off.
You made yourself known by walking up the Colin’s desk.
“Thought you’d left.” Colin stated, pulling out a pouch of tobacco and some papers.
“Well, you told me to wait.” You said innocently as you folded your arms across your chest.
Colin's eyes flicked up, peering over his glasses, at you as he studied your face from a moment.
You tucked a strand of hair behind your ear and shuffled on your feet.
“So, did he get it?” You asked, referring to your brother.
“He did.” Colin finally looked away and started to roll his cigarette.
“So, does that give me an excuse to come visit you again then?” You thought fuck it and tried to flirt.
“He’s going to work on it at home.” Colin told you. You couldn’t hide your facial expression as you frowned.
“Oh.” You nodded your head and went to walk away.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t come again.” Colin admitted causing you to turn around and face him again.
You let a small smile across your face before leaving the building, hoping to catch up to your brother.
You visited Colin every day for the next week, he showed you how he programmed his video games and some of the other ideas he had for future games. He even let you try the finished product of ‘Metl Hedd’. He told Thakur that you were a game whizz like your brother and that you were helping him but in reality he just wanted to spend time with you, he did need to finish his games and he also needed an excuse to keep Thakur off his back about it so it worked.
Nothing had happened between the two of you but your crush was becoming more and more evident to yourself. You had to admit he was attractive and intelligent but when you first met him you didn’t think much else of it and now you were rushing out of the house to get to the Tuckersoft building.
“Morning.” You placed a coffee down on Colin’s desk as you approached him staring intently at his screen.
“Morning.” He mumbled.
“What you doing?” You asked before sipping a mouthful of your own drink.
“I think I finally fixed that error.” Colin sat back and picked up the coffee cup before taking a swig. “Have a go.” He told you.
You didn’t even realise what you had done until you did it as you took a seat on his lap to get to his computer.
You swallowed as you clicked the keyboard to run the game as you then became very aware of what you had done.
Colin was taken back by your action as well however he couldn’t help but like that you did it as it meant something was actually going to happen. He knew you were interested in him, why else would you bother him so often but he didn’t know what would come of it.
He shifted under you slightly but hovered his fingers on your hip lightly to reassure you that you didn’t have to get off.
Your eyes flickered down to his touch and you felt your heart flip in your chest.
You started to play the game however after the first level it crashed again.
“Shit.” Colin leant forward, fully placing his hand on your waist as used his free hand to type some coding into the computer on your left.
“What happened?” You asked.
“It didn’t transition correctly into the second round. Hop off for a tic.” Colin tapped you lightly and you jumped off his lap. Your heart going from your throat back to your chest where it belonged
And that was the first time you and Colin had any physical interaction.
A month went by of you visiting Colin and your brother was working harder than ever locked away in his room on his game to notice.
You walked into the Tuckersoft building, everyone knew you by then, and you greeted people as you made your way up to Colin’s floor.
“Morning Tom.” You smiled at one of the sound programmers as you passed him in the hallway.
It was one of the hottest days that summer so you wore a dress for once.
Colin’s head turned at the sound of your voice as you greeted the worker and his eyes stuck to you like glue once he caught a glimpse of how you looked.
Your hair was up but some wisps had strayed out the back and stuck to your neck from the heat of the morning. Your lips were wet from the ice tea you picked up on the way there and the hem of your dress brushed against your thighs as you shuffled on your feet.
You turned to him as you made your way over and you smiled.
Colin looked you up and down again when you stood in front of him.
There was a moment where you just furrowed your eyebrows at the boy in confusion of why he was staring at you like the way he was.
Colin pulled the unlit fag from his lips and tossed onto the desk before he took your hand and dragged you down the hall.
“Colin?” You laughed as he stormed away with you.
Colin opened the door to one of the supply cupboards and backed inside it. He pulled you towards him and within a second his lips were on yours. His hand cupped the side of your jaw as he kissed you with a hunger that literally took your breath away.
Colin pulled away from you to close the door and you took the time to breathe. He dropped his hands to your waist as he guided you to a tall pile of boxes. They were study, full of books and stationary, strong enough to hold you and Colin knew this.
He lifted you up onto the boxes and let his hands push the hem of your skirt up as he ran his hands along your thighs.
The excitement bubbled in your stomach as his hands moved further up your thighs. You dropped your hands from his neck to his waist and Colin took the hint. He quickly started to undo his belt and pulled it from his trousers.
He undid his trousers, you pulled your chest closer to his; pressing your body tight against him.
You started to trail a kiss down his neck and you heard a low groan erupt from his lips as he winced in desperation. He wrapped his hand around your throat, underneath your jaw and brought your face back to his own. He took his throbbing member into his hand from his boxers before lining it up to your entrance, pushing your panties aside with his fingers.
He pulled back and searched your eyes for permission. His eyes filled with a dark lust that only made you want him more.
“Colin.” You begged quietly as you tightened your grip on the boys shirt.
Colin wasted no time as he thrusted inside of you causing you to gasp sharply and dig your nails into the boy. He held on as he waited for you to adjust to his size. His hot breath against your cheek as he waited for a signal to get on with it.
You bit down on your lip, giving yourself a second to relax, then you moved back and captured his lips in your own again.
Colin started to thrust hard against you, one of his arms wrapped securely around your back to keep your body tight against his.
You couldn’t help your shaky breaths as you gripped onto the boys hair and shirt. Your whole body jolted with the force of Colin pumping inside and out of you. His thick member filling you with each pump and the rough material of his t-shirt brushing against your clit.
“Colin... fuck...” You moaned, Colin shushed you and wrapped his hand around your throat again to keep you quiet.
You clenched your jaw as the rough dominant nature of him drew you closer to climax.
Colin grunted as he could feel you grow tighter around him as your orgasm was approaching.
He picked up his pace for those final moments, squeezing your throat slightly and soon you were over the edge, pulsing around his member as he rode you through your climax. He continued until he was also at the very edge before pulling out and covering your thigh with his cum.
You both stood there, breathing heavily, just looking at each other. You smiled at him and shook your head.
“What was that for?” You asked.
“Because of this.” He said very seriously as he took your dress in between his thumb and index finger.
“I guess I’ll be wearing this again then.”You smirked.
Just then there were voices outside the cupboard which made both yours and Colin’s head shoot towards the door.
You felt your heart stop until footsteps lead to them walking away.
You then swiftly took off your panties and cleaned yourself up with them so that you could both leave the supply cupboard.
You walked back to Colin’s desk as if nothing had happened or at least tried to make it look that way.
Colin cleared his throat as he sank down into his chair.
You leant against his desk and picked up his ball of elastic bands, playing with it. Colin smirked at you, knowing full well that you no longer had panties on and that would make this day very interesting.
As the evening drew in and almost all members of staff left the building, you and Colin were left alone on his floor. You leant down over the desk as you stared at one of the computer screens, Colin had done a sweep of the floor to make sure you were alone but he just told you that he was looking for Thakur.
As he returned, he came up behind you and placed his hand under your dress, cupping you from behind.
“Round two?” He questioned, cocking his eyebrows at you via the computer screen as you shut it down.
You span around and wrapped your hands around the back of his neck with a mischievous smile.
“Now?” You asked, acting all innocent for the fun of it.
Colin lifted you onto the desk, moving the keyboard aside as he did.
“Now.” He nodded, moving in between your thighs and enclosing you in a kiss.
AN: Hope you enjoy this you dirty sinners ;)

A New Economic Cycle Has Begun
Recent economic statistics, especially the employment data, support our thesis that a new economic cycle has begun. It does not matter whether it is an elongated U,U or V as long as the economy continues to move forward.
While a number of states (11) have paused opening further due to coronavirus outbreaks, the vast majority of states continue to move forward. All of this does not change our view that it will take until the end of 2022 for the economy to fully recover even if we have therapeutics in the fall and vaccines before the end of this year as we still expect. Therefore, we expect the Fed and the government to continue to supply huge amounts of monetary and fiscal stimulus which will support the economy and financial markets pushing investors further out on the risk curve. As the economy improves and capacity utilization rates rise, we would expect inflation to pick up from an abnormally low 0.5% annual rate to over 1.5% and the yield curve to steepen as the Fed holds short term rates near zero through 2022 as they have indicated. Clearly stocks are our asset class of choice but as you know, not all stocks will perform equally.
The employment numbers reported over the last two months were nothing short of phenomenal, well above anyone’s expectations. Non-farm employment rose by 4.8 million in June as employment in leisure and hospitality increased by 2.1 million; retail by 740,000; 568,000 in education and health services and even by 356,000 in manufacturing. Truly a reflection of a very broad-based improvement in the economy over the last month. Average hourly earnings and hours worked fell in the month. Employment gains have clearly buttressed the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index which rose to a surprisingly strong 98.1 in June from 85.9 in May. Both the present situation and short-term outlook indices improved meaningfully too. It is easy to understand now why retail sales and housing are rebounding so strongly. The June manufacturing ISM report on business was strong too increasing to 52.6, indicating an expansion, from 43.1 in May. New orders were particularly strong as the index hit 56.4 up from 31.8 in May. All in all, it is clear that the economy has bottomed, and a new economic cycle has begun.
While the news of coronavirus outbreaks got worse last week, it did not have much impact on the financial markets as the incidence of deaths are declining; physicians have learned to better treat the virus; and news on therapeutics and vaccines are getting more positive. States where outbreaks have increased meaningfully have finally slowed or paused opening further and are mandating masks and social distancing. Cases in those states should peak within a couple of weeks. That will be welcome news. Last week we heard from Gilead that they will have over 500,000 doses of Remdesivir available by September and many millions by year end. We also know that Regeneron is making great progress in this area too. And the big news of the week came from Pfizer who unveiled promising and detailed data on a trial of one of its experimental COVID-19 vaccines. The company expects to conclude its Phase 3 efficacy data in September and will have hundreds of millions vials available by next year. We expect to hear more and more positive news on therapeutics and vaccines in the weeks ahead. Our economic outlook for 2021 will get stronger once therapeutics are broadly available in the fall and vaccines early next which is our current expectation although not fully reflected in our 2021 forecasts. Fed Chairman Powell and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin appeared before the House Financial Services Committee last week. Everyone is on the same page about the need for continued monetary stimulus and additional government support programs. Powell mentioned that he was surprised that the economy had begun rebounding so soon and with such strength. We fully expect Trump and Congress to agree on a substantial package to replace the Cares act before it expires on July 31. Both the Fed and the government will remain ‘all in” well into 2022 no matter who is elected President in November. While most pundits have counted Trump out and Biden in, we are confident that the polls will narrow if the economy and information on the coronavirus improve as we move through the fall. While we favor Trump’s economic plan over Biden’s, we favor Biden’s social agenda and executive presence over Trump’s. Regardless of who wins in November, we cannot see much change in the direction of fiscal and monetary programs until the economy has fully recovered which most likely will not occur until the end of 2022. In addition, we expect unemployment to stay stubbornly high in the new normal economy which might preclude hiking corporate taxes in 2021 like Biden wants to do. No matter who wins in November, we expect the government to pass an infrastructure bill next year to stimulate growth and fill a major need.

The financial markets continue to defy the pundits who have been looking for a top or at least a correction for months. While the markets have been supported by an inordinate amount of liquidity provided by the Fed and aggressive fiscal stimulus by the government, it now appears that the economy is finally kicking in too. While this is anything but an ordinary economic cycle, it is acting in many ways just like it: the economy weakens(now due to a pandemic); the Fed eases aggressively and the government cuts taxes or adds stimulus; then the economy slowly bottoms and resumes growth once again. Clearly there are major differences here beside the sheer magnitude of the Fed and government actions. Remember that the Fed will remain all in for another two years suppressing rates and providing liquidity even as the economy recovers, and the government is still likely to pass several additional stimulus programs broadening out to include programs to stimulate demand such as an infrastructure program. Wow, could we overheat, or at least see inflation meaningfully increase? It is possible but not likely as the new normal on the other side will be quite different from where we started. The CBO is projecting a 5.9% decline in GNP in 2020 rebounding 4.8% in 2021 and unemployment at 10.5% at year-end improving to a still high 7.6% by the end of next year. Why? Corporations will keep a lid on S, G and A expenses as well as hiring as they have seen that they can do the same, and even more, with less without any loss in productivity even as employees work at home during the pandemic. Why? It all comes down to technology such as video conferencing for internal and external meetings. Just imagine the cost savings from less space needs, less travel and entertainment, and fewer redundancies. Yes, we expect corporate operating margins to improve in the new normal which is very good for stocks historically.
The bottom line is that we expect the environment to remain favorable for risk assets, most notably stocks, industrial commodities and gold. We clearly would not own bonds with any duration over three years as we see inflation picking up as the economy recovers and the yield curve steepening despite actions of the Fed to suppress it. Our portfolios continue to emphasize great technology companies who have saved us during the pandemic, will assist us bigtime as we move through to the other side and beyond. In addition, we own companies whose demand has benefitted from more time spent outdoors and in one’s home due to the pandemic. Some defensive growth companies with above average, ever increasing dividend yields can be owned as well. We continue to avoid those companies who demand will remain weak due to the pandemic as the risk owning them simply just does not justify the reward.

~broken pieces part two
A/n: oh my gosh I can’t believe y’all actually liked broken pieces:) it makes me so happy! Here’s a part two for ya
Two weeks. Two whole weeks without Shawn. Without the sound of him coming home late at night and plodding up the stairs, no sound of him talking during a Instagram live, no random singing he didn’t know you were listening to, no cooking dinner for two. Nothing. You really had thought that things would be better by now, that you would feel less like crawling back to him. You loved Shawn with your entire heart, and he still had every piece of you.
You really did try to fall into a somewhat normal routine, you rented a apartment and tried to make the place your own. It didn’t work. Shawn wasn’t there. You would have a good few moments, only to remember him, what hurt the most was remembering how everything used to be, before your love for each other became unbalanced.
Shawn had tried non stop to reach you the first week, your phone was filled with texts and calls and voicemails you didn’t bother to read. You didn’t want to hear how sorry he was or how he wanted you to come back, he broke everything you were, and that simply couldn’t be fixed. You hoped he was happy, hoped Chelsea could be better than you, maybe she completed him in ways you couldn’t. You didn’t even know her, Shawn probably met her on tour, probably some gorgeous blonde model with a hourglass figure and five pounds of makeup.
You sighed to yourself, you really needed to stop having a pity party, things had to be like this now. A lost love, that’s all this was, you would get over it, with time.
A little voice climbed into your ear and whispered devilishly, oh but what if you don’t? What if you spend your whole life missing Shawn? A phone call interupted your thoughts, reaching out for your cell, you answered without bothering to look at the caller id.
“Y/n?” You pulled the phone away from your head and glanced at the name across the screen. “Brian Why are you calling me?” There was a hefty sigh on the other end. “Y/n listen, i know you and shaw-“ “no. Don’t bother talking to me about him.”
“Y/n shawn is a absolute wreck. He can’t think, he can’t write, he barely talks and he’s not eating.”
You were taken back by his words, “what?” “Yeah, he’s been like this ever since the break up, the only time he talks is when he’s talking about how he lost you and he wants to just die because he broke you and he knows it,”
You struggled with emotion. You loved him and didn’t want him in pain, but you had to remember how much pain he cause you.
“I don’t care, he hurt me over and over again Brian, I can’t help it if he is the one hurting now.” You cut off Brian’s words by hanging up the phone.
The rest of the day went by rather slowly, you just couldn’t stop thinking back to your conversation with Brian. Trying to be productive, you grabbed your keys and headed out to the store, you have already gone once this week, but you really needed something to busy your mind with.
The rain was coming down by the time you were halfway to the store, you hadn’t paid much attention to the time, and it was already dark, the backroads you were driving were very dark and slicked with the rain. Your car had been making suspicious noises for the past mile or so, you were slightly worried, but you didn’t think about it too much because your car was always like that.
Panic started to set in as your car started slowly fizzing out, creeping to a stop on the side of the road, in the pouring rain with lights flashing. You were stranded, you tried turning the key, but all you received was a strange sound of noises that resembled death.
You slapped the dash in frustration, “you stupid car.” Reaching for your phone, you scrolled through your contacts, searching for someone to call, “no no, not this one, nope not that one either.” Laughing to yourself you realized you had little to no one you could call at this time of night to come bail you out.
You tried a few people, all of who either gave some lame excuse or simply declined your call. You sighed in defeat as you hovered your thumb over Brian’s name, you knew he would answer.
“Hello, y/n?” You sighed. “Hey Brian, I kinda have a situation.”
“What? What’s wrong?” You hesitated, “I uh, I went out to the store and my car died, it won’t start and I had no one else to call.”
“You need someone to come get you?” “No, I need you to come get me, you can not breath a word of this to Shawn, if he shows up here I swear.”
“Relax y/n, just stay put.” The line went dead and you dropped your head onto the steaming wheel, after texting him the address, worry swamped you.
Brian hung up the phone and walked into the studio, nobody had gone home yet. “Shawn.” Shawn looked up from across the room, looking a mess as usual these days, “what do you want Brian?” He mumbled, glancing down at the floor.
Brian clapped him on the back, handing him a piece of paper with a address scribbled down. “Y/n’s car broke down, she called asking me to come get her.” Shawn eyes widened, jumping up he grabbed the paper from his hand, “is she hurt, what happened, how far away is she?”
Brian shook his head, “calm down buddy, she’s fine. But she didn’t exactly want you to come get her so I would tread lightly.” Shawn nodded grimly, “can’t get much worse can it?” Before grabbing his keys and heading out.
You played with your nails lightly, nervously picking at the already worn polish. It had been nearly thirty minutes since Brian hung up the phone. You really didn’t want to be stuck here in the dark anymore.
Your thoughts were interupted as headlights flashed ahead of you, the rain making it too hard to see the type of vehicle pulling closer. As a tall figure steeped out, you squinted your eyes at the shape, only for them to widen and your heart to jump to your throat as realization dawned.
Curse you brian. You slammed your hand down on the lock button as Shawn stepped up to the window. He peered in, rain matting his curls to his head and drenching him. “Y/n unlock the door!” Shawn yelled at you over the rain. You shook your head firmly, Insisting on keeping your doors locked. Shawn just stood there, and as the rain poored your resolve weakens. Nudging the door open you glared up at him weakly.
“Y/n Im sorry-“ “Shawn I don’t even care, don’t try to apologize this away it won’t work.” Shawns eyes were pleading and desperate. “No. I know I cheated, it was the worst mistake of my life and I don’t have any excuses, but you have to believe when I tell you nothing happened, I didn’t do anything y/n.”
“Shawn that doesn’t make it better.” You were crying as you tried to pull the door back shut. Shawn reached out before you could and grabbed your wrist gently, pulling you out Into the rain with him. He pulled you closer and you beat against his chest, crying out. “Let me go Shawn let me go!”
“Y/n just come back to the house, you can’t stay here in the pouring rain.” You drummed your hand against his chest again, you shrieked at him, “please let me go, let me go I hate you, I hate you.”
Shawns whole body stilled. You suddenly crumbled over, “no no I love you and it’s not fair because you broke me.” He just held you to him until your sobbing stopped. “Let’s just go back home, you need to get out of these clothes your going to get sick.”
The drive back to the house was silent. You said nothing, watching the rain pour down the window and the world blur by. The Jeep rolled to a stop in the all too familiar driveway. You were ready to cry again just seeing the house.
Shawn opened your door, he started to hold his hand out, but quickly thought better of it and retracted it quickly, moving it to the back of his neck instead. He lead the way into the house, opening the door, you hesitantly followed him, the breath leaving your lungs as you gazed at all the pictures of the two of you.
“You didn’t take them down?” Shawn turned towards you, “no, why would I? Those pictures were the best time of my life. You were the best time of my life.” His words suddleny took on a intensive tone, “y/n let me fix this, I can’t lose you, I can’t lose the best thing of my life. You are my life y/n.”
“Im not sure this can be fixed.” The words were followed by a choked sob. Shawns tall body dropped towards you, grabbing your hands firmly, “yes we can, we can fix this, I messed up, beyond anything imaginable, I messed up, but I love you, with every fiber of my body and you love me. That fixes this.” Shawns eyes were red and panic rimmed.
You shook your head, crying again. “I just don’t think-“ Shawn cut you off, reaching forward he pulled you to him and kissed you. Your body stiffened. Pull away! Your brain screamed at you. But you couldn’t, you could never pull away from Shawn, not now not ever.
He pulled back, pressing your forehead together, “I know this won’t be easy, but I’m going to fight for you, I’ll fight for you y/n” your tears fell salty on your cheeks as you shook your head, “okay shawn, okay.” The rest of the night was spent with the two of you just holding each other, Shawn whispering how he would always hold you together.
A/n: It’s here guys! I hope you liked it, kinda scared to post it but haha hope it was okay:)
