Creating Memorable Spaces: The Art of Event with Furniture Hire
Tumblr media
Events are an opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for attendees, and one of the key elements that contribute to an event's ambiance and overall aesthetics is the furniture. Whether it's an LED dance floor, stylish furniture, or elegant tableware, the right choice of furniture can transform any venue into a captivating and memorable space.
In this article, we will explore the importance and art of hiring event furniture to create remarkable and unforgettable event spaces and make your special day memorable for your guests.
1. Event furniture hire: Setting the stage for style and comfort.
Event furniture plays a crucial role in setting the tone and ambiance of an event. From chic lounge seating to elegant dining tables and chairs, event furniture hire allows organizers to curate a stylish and comfortable environment that aligns with the event's theme and purpose. By selecting the right furniture pieces, event planners can create inviting spaces where guests can relax, socialize, and fully immerse themselves in the event experience.
2. Wedding furniture hire: Adding elegance to the big day.
Wedding furniture hire allows couples to transform their wedding venue into a dreamy and enchanting space. From beautifully crafted chairs and tables to decorative accents, furniture hire allows couples to personalize their wedding venue and create an atmosphere that reflects their unique style and vision. Whether a rustic outdoor wedding or an elegant ballroom affair, the right wedding furniture can enhance the overall aesthetic and create a memorable setting for the couple and their guests.
3. LED dance floor hire: Illuminating the event experience.
LED dance floors have become increasingly popular in recent years, bringing a touch of glamour and sophistication to events. These dance floors are embedded with LED lights that can be programmed to create stunning visual effects, adding a dynamic and captivating element to any event. Whether it's a corporate event, wedding reception, or gala, LED dance floor hire can create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, enticing guests to dance and enjoy the event to the fullest.
4. Versatility and convenience.
One of the significant advantages of wedding furniture hire is the versatility and convenience it offers event organizers. With a wide range of furniture options available for hire, organizers can select pieces that suit the specific requirements of their event. Additionally, furniture hire companies often provide delivery, setup, and removal services, taking the burden off the event organizers and allowing them to focus on other aspects of event planning.
5. Enhancing brand image and event experience.
In corporate events and brand activations, the choice of furniture plays a vital role in shaping the brand image and overall event experience. By selecting furniture that aligns with the brand's aesthetic and values, companies can create a cohesive and immersive brand experience for attendees. Whether it's a product launch, trade show, or corporate conference, event furniture hire allows companies to create visually striking spaces that leave a lasting impression on guests and reinforce their brand messaging.
Conclusion.
The art of event furniture hire goes beyond merely providing functional seating and tables. It is about creating memorable spaces that leave a lasting impression on attendees. Event furniture hire significantly transforms event venues into captivating environments that enhance the overall event experience.

0.2 Fresh Starts
Bradley Bradshaw x reader
Summary: After leaving your abusive ex husband with your two kids. Tackling motherhood by yourself is a challenge. Getting to know a certain neighbor might lift some of the weight off of your shoulders.
Warnings: Swearing, alcohol, little bit of smut
Masterlist |
Tumblr media
The next day, Bradley was taking his morning jog like he did every morning. The Navy kept him in shape and that led to making him a morning person. Which is probably how he got his call sign ‘Rooster’. He glanced at your house to see you in a robe checking the mail. He smirked and decided to bug you a little bit with his bright morning smile. That���s what neighbors are for, right?
“Morning, neighbor!” He waved as he slowed his pace at your driveway.
You eyed him carefully as you flipped through the mail, “How can you be running at 7 in the morning after you drank and partied all night long?” He noticed you never looked up at him while you said this, which was amusing as it seemed you were asking yourself.
“My job keeps me in shape.” He shrugged. “What have you got going on today?” He tried to start a conversation as he took in your tired state. He seemed like a morning person. As a mom, you were never a morning person.
“The usual, trying to find a handyman to fix my shower head and someone to build some furniture.” He watched as you turned to travel down your driveway back to your house.
“Hey, I'm off work today if you want me to help out.” He shrugged and wiped the sweat from his forehead. You now looked up at him and noticed he wasn’t wearing a shirt. His rock hard abs glistened with sweat as he took deep breaths. You looked up to his face and shook your head, “No thanks, I'll find someone.”
“Come on, I feel bad for last night. And it’ll be free other than hiring a handyman. I’m good with my hands.” He winked.
You scoffed and bit back a laugh as he stared you down waiting for an answer. “Fine, but only once.”
“Great, I'll go get changed and be over to start the job.” He nodded and jogged in place to get ready to return back to his own home.
“I have to get my kids to school, be here around 9.” You yawned and turned to go inside.
He nodded and threw a thumbs up at you before making his way home.
This was probably a bad idea.
-
You watched his biceps strain against his white t-shirt that he showed up in. His tan skin looked great against it you have to admit. Standing in the bathroom doorway, you watched as he grunted against the stubborn shower head.
“Tough one.” He grunted again and stepped back to shake his head.
“Yeah, I couldn’t get it myself.” You nodded and mocked his stance with crossed arms.
“Nothing I can’t handle.” He said, determined to get it done for you. After all, he did offer to help. And what kind of neighbor would he be if he couldn’t help out?
You bit back a smile and watched as he placed his hands on the shower head once more and twisted hard. A loud cracking noise was heard and it finally popped off sending Bradley flying backwards into you. He twisted around and caught your head before it hit the tile floor. You gasped as his face was inches away from yours and he smirked slowly. “Got it.” He held the rusted up piece of metal in front of your face.
You rolled your eyes and pushed on his broad shoulders to get him off of you. “Thanks.”
When you finally stood up he threw the metal in the trash can and turned to you. “What’s next, boss?” He smiled like a school boy.
You shook your head with crossed arms and was almost in awe of his helpfulness. You were kind of rude to him the other night and here he was, helping you.
“You want a beer or something?” You asked as you turned out of the bathroom and headed to the kitchen.
“Beer would be great.” He smiled as he watched you bend into the fridge. His eyes scouted over your ass that strained against your jean shorts.
He stood straight as you turned to him with a brown bottle. “Thanks.” He searched around for a bottle opener, “You got something to open this with?” He chuckled.
“Oh, yeah.” You took it from him and placed it in between your teeth and cracked it open with ease.
He stood, amazed at what you had done before him. No girl had ever done that, not even a party trick could come close to how turned on that made him. He took the bottle in his hands and watched as you poured yourself a glass of wine.
You leaned against the counter and brought the glass to your lips. Taking a long sip, he watched you relax.
He also took a swig of his bottle before taking a look around the empty room. His head popped up when he heard you speak.
“This house is a wreck.” You never looked towards him as you stared at the boxes filled with items that were supposed to be put up by now.
He shrugged, “When did you move in?”
“Just a week ago. After I left my ex husband I took the kids and brought them here. We didn’t live too far away, just a couple of minutes. But away was enough.” You explained before taking another sip of the wine.
He nodded as he let you talk, “Nice place. It was owned by an older couple. They moved upstate for retirement.”
You smiled and nodded. The place really was lovely. A master bedroom with one smaller room and two bathrooms. One bathroom across the boys room and a bigger one connected to yours. A back patio and a small car shed with a yard for the boys to enjoy. You probably wouldn’t stay here long, just for a little bit to get started. It was the fastest and cheapest place to find since you were so eager to move out.
“I need to unpack.” You muttered as you closed your eyes in exhaustion.
Bradley watched as you straightened up from the counter and walked over towards the boxes.
“Is this all of your things?” He asked as he noticed the lack of furniture and the amount of boxes that stacked against walls.
“Not all of it, half of the things are in a moving truck. The others I'll have to go get from my old place.” You really didn’t want to go alone. But, you didn’t have any other option.
He nodded and walked towards the back of the house past the boys’ room. He saw a mattress on the floor and two l bed frame boxes leaned against the wall. A basket of toys was in the middle of the floor and a couple of books were stacked in the corner.
You hummed as you put away cutlery and plates. Completely forgetting Bradley was still in your house, you remembered after an hour or so and walked back towards the bedrooms. You passed by the bathroom and saw the new shower head was attached and the towel hangers were screwed on correctly. Walking further back, you stood in awe as each of the boys’ bed frames were completed and made with stuffed toys on them. Charlie’s was a little bigger and Westons was a toddler bed. The dresser was made and the box of clothes on top of them.
Bradley walked out of their closet and smiled when he saw you, “Hey, I was just fixing this shelf in here.” He nodded back to the closet. You nodded with an open jaw and admired his work.
“You didn’t have to do all of this.” You waved your hands around.
“Oh please, I’ve got nothing better to do. Besides, I like doing this kind of stuff.”
“What? Seducing girls with your muscle shirt and being the knight in shining armor?” You amused yourself and crossed your arms.
“No, I'm serious. I like building things and fixing problems.” He nodded and put the screwdriver on the desk by the wall. He smirked by raising a brow and turning to you, “But are you seduced?”
Your cheeks tinted as you rolled your eyes, “No.” Walking off to get away from his gaze, you went back to unpacking boxes.
He smiled as you walked away and followed you into the kitchen once again. You crouched down and opened the box. His gaze was fixed on you as you dug through the tea towels and glass cups.
You slowly stood up and walked to the cabinet to put away a couple of cups. Once finished, you turned around and saw him leaning against the fridge with a sweaty bottle of beer in his hand. His muscles in his biceps contracted as he brought the bottle up to his lips and took a long swig. His mustache hugged the top of the bottle and once he was done he licked his lips clean of the alcohol.
This was such a bad idea. You were supposed to be focusing on yourself and your kids' well being. But then again, your hormones are a part of yourself. He smirked as he caught you watching his every move. Bradley set his bottle down on the top of the fridge, which wasn’t a struggle at all for him to reach, and slowly walked over towards you.
You never moved from your spot as he stood not even an inch from your body. Feeling his breath fan your cheek, he took his finger and swiped a piece of hair behind your ear. His lips grazed your cheek and you tried to focus on anything else than the hot man that practically pushed you into the counter.
“What’s on your mind?” He teased as his lips moved to your ear.
You didn’t even know this man’s name. “What’s your name?” You blurted out pushing your head back to look into his eyes.
He smiled and chuckled, “Bradley.”
“Bradley.” You repeated under your breath to test it out on your tongue.
He nodded once you repeated it and smirked to himself, “Sounds good when you say it.”
Deciding to stir the pot, he brought his lips down to your jaw and barely grazed it just to tease you. He wanted to build the fire inside of you and figure out what pleased you.
“I can’t do this.” You shook your head, but your neck tilted to the side to give him better access and more space to litter his kisses on.
“Why’s that?” His movements never stopped as he traveled up your jaw and close to your ear lobe.
“Because, I’ve got kids and I just got a divorce.” You explained, but you couldn’t seem to hear yourself. You were so fixated on his hands and how they gripped your hips tightly and his lips how they ghosted your jaw slightly.
You had to fight back with every fiber of your being to not make a single noise. Not a whimper or moan. Trying your very hardest but the sexy man in front of you was making it literally impossible.
“I can’t be seen having sex with another man.” You pushed on his hard chest to make him back away from you.
“Then let’s go to the back.” He suggested and shrugged his shoulders.
“Bradley,” You started to say, but were lifted in his arms and were toted away from the kitchen. You were surprised at this. Never have you been carried away like this. It was every girl’s dream to be carried to bed by a muscled up man with a pornstar mustache. And you were living it right now.
“Bradley, we shouldn’t do this.” You gasped as his teeth nipped at your neck then kissed the spot soothingly.
“Come on, baby, let me make it up to you from last night.” He set you down gently on the carpeted floor, “I feel so bad.” He pouted and rubbed your hips. You knew what he was doing. He was trying to convince you and seduce you to let him ��make it up to you’.
He pushed you back onto the bed and ground his pelvis into your heat once he spread your legs far apart.
It has been almost two years since you’ve had proper sex. After having your youngest, you and your ex husband stopped doing anything physical after he started drinking. You missed this exhilarating feeling between a man. What’s the harm?
You grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him into your lips. The plush of his lips hit yours and immediately started to devour you. Your jaws opened further apart so you could fight against each other’s tongues. He was a good kisser. A great kaiser even. His kisses made you excited and hungry for more. His hands roamed up to your boobs through your tank top and kneaded at the flesh. He could feel your bra constricting him from getting to where he really wanted to be.
After your encounter last night, he thought about you until he ran into you in your driveway. Those arms and sweaty abs that were glistening in the sun were enough to make you almost drop to your knees and lick up every drop off of him.
He pushed you further into the mattress and shoved his lips further into yours. Your teeth clashed together and you didn’t mind one bit if he chipped it.
Your arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him impossibly closer to you. You could feel his erection through the jeans he was wearing. Which means he must be big. Your breath shuddered as he moved his kisses down the front of your neck and to your collarbone.
You grabbed his face and brought it to your lips to kiss him with need. Your hands pushed at his shirt and rested your hands on his large pecs. He caught onto your little hint and tore his shirt off swiftly. He came back down and kissed you again with slick lips and wrapped his tongue around yours. His mouth tasted of beer and mixed with something else that made it much more delicious.
You spread your legs further and brought your hands down to press onto the tint in his pants. He groaned into your lips sending vibrations straight down to your clit. You moaned for the first time in front of him and felt him move to smirk against your neck.
“Jesus, Bradley.” You whined as he ground his hard dick into your clothed pussy. He pressed so hard into you it made you cry out. He dipped his fingers under your shorts and panties. Slowly dragging them down your smooth legs he felt the fat of your ass and laid you back onto the soft mattress. It was a little hard to get on your level since the mattress was laid on the floor. Bradley didn’t mind.
He spread your legs further and slipped the clothes off of your ankles and threw them across the room. One good look at your dripping heat was able to make a grown man cum in his pants. He dove into your pussy immediately and licked a thick stripe up your slit. Your fingers tangled in his hair as you cried out his name. He groaned against your clit and sent vibrations up your stomach. “Fuck, Bradley.” You gasped as the tip of his tongue prodded at your dripping hole.
He plunged one finger into you until he was knuckle deep and brought his thumb up to rub your clit fast.
“Shit!” You moaned and squeezed your eyes closed tightly. He held your legs far apart, making the feeling more extreme. “Say my name again.” He demanded as he stared up at you while fingering your pussy.
“Bradley.” You moaned and opened your jaw in pleasure. He smirked against your clit and curled his finger up into you. Over and over and over again he assaulted your g spot making your wetness spill out of you and into his fingers.
He moaned and kept drilling his finger into you trying to get every ounce of orgasm out of you.
“Fuck!” You moaned as he took his fingers out of you and took his tongue to lick your entire pussy in one stripe.
“Jesus, honey. Your’e soaked.” He laughed and saw your face heat up as you sat up and pulled your blanket over the middle of your legs from him. “I’m just teasing.”
“You really should go.” You scrambled for your shorts and underwear and pulled them onto your legs. He stood up and pouted, “What’s the rush?”
“My kids are probably on the way home and they can’t see you here.” You spoke as you hurried into the kitchen and saw the time. He followed you and nodded his head.
“Okay, same time tomorrow?” He teased as he slipped his shoes and shirt on beside the door.
You gave him a warning look as he smirked and winked at you.
“Thank you for the help.” You were very grateful for his help and it would've taken you much longer to finish without him.
“It was my pleasure. Call me when you need me.” He stuck a piece of paper on a cardboard box and walked out of the front door.
You walked over to glance at the paper and saw his number written down neatly.
Watching him walk back to his house you shook your head.
That was a bad idea.

YN had laid back down in his bed after they had settled that she would go with him, that neither of them were attached to anyone else in any way, and all this was a bit of company - nothing more, nothing less.
Harry tried to keep his mind blank as he watched the road ahead of him.
It was a slippery slope that typically never led to happy thoughts when he lets himself be alone with them for too long at once.
They would creep in, like slow-cresting waves, and then hit him with the impact of a tsunami.
His body moved in practice, subconscious motions as he shifted gears with ease, flicking the windshield wipers up a notch because this weather was brutal and unrelenting.
Normally, Harry wasn’t concerned about such treacherous conditions where the roads were a sheet of white, snow flurrying rapidly and thick enough the clog the wind streams to make it nearly blinding.
He sickeningly enough enjoyed it because of the risk.
The higher possibility of death.
It was because what was the worst that could happen?
His truck could veer off the road.?
Hydroplane off the asphalt, hitting him into a guardrail, flipping it over until he’s falling down the steep embankment?
He would never want that to happen, only for Birdie’s sake, but if she wasn’t a factor then his answer would be different, most days.
 Harry hated to admit that there were more days than not that he thought about how much he wouldn’t mind such a thing to happen to him.
His life had never been easy, it’s why he fled his home when he was sixteen, lied about his age, and had a rough-around-the-edges older man who had hired him for some odd jobs around his mechanics shop taught him everything he needed to know about driving a semi-truck.
And as soon as he could get his commercial license, he found a job that had him driving a truck from one end of the states to the other to deliver furniture from a custom brand out of Canada.
He didn’t mind the job, except for when he was granted his time off.
It was three weeks on, two off, and for people with families, children, it was rigorous schedule but they looked forward to having the extended time to relax at home before another three weeks took them away.
Harry didn’t know what to do with himself for that two weeks.
His bosses had looked at him like he was insane when he asked if he could just not take those two weeks off.
The first time, he came back to his hometown because he didn’t know where else to go, and it hadn’t ended well - he gave his mother too many chances and it resulted in him heading back out onto the road with twelve hundred less dollars in his wallet.
He never went back, left all of his belongings at his childhood home, changed his number so that his mother couldn’t get a hold of him, and cooped up in extended stay hotels wherever he landed for those two weeks.
Occasionally, he would meet a cute girl at the local bar or a waitress at the diner who he would spend a night with.
He really wasn't a one-night-stand guy or just a casual hookup either, but he sought out those women when the thoughts got dark, when the loneliness seemed overwhelming, and he really wasn't seeking out sex as much as he was comfort and intimacy even if just for a few hours.
He never felt enough of a connection with any of them to visit on his next off-time, even if he had promised it a few times to smooth over the hurt he had caused by crushing their hopes of a relationship.
His work paid for his meals during his weeks on, he stayed in cheap hotels, and didn’t spend money on anything except necessities that his company card didn’t cover which led to quite a hefty sum in his bank account.
Enough that he could purchase on his own semi-truck, used and beat to shit, breaking down every couple thousand miles and causing more financial burden than it was worth, but it helped him start his own business.
He had his own transport company now, just his truck and him, nothing fancy or overly complicated.
He could pick and choose his work, always picking the highest paid contracts, and it really made him successful.
Enough so that he could purchase a new, top-of-the-line semi which he reasoned was the best investment because not only was he purchasing his work truck but his home as he would be living out of it.
Ever since he started his own company, with no off time because he had contracts lined up to fulfill for the next year, and then some that never gave him a break - just like he wanted, no time to get too lost in his own miserable shit that he preferred to suppress. 
No time off meant no life.
Harry hadn’t chatted anyone up at the bar, hell, he can’t remember the last time that he was even in one.
He can’t remember the last time he had sex either.
At some point, the company of a woman didn't quell those thoughts.
Sex workers knocked on his cabin door quite frequently, his flashy truck drew their attention with the hopes that he would be a generous tipper, but he always shooed them off.
He would be extra pissed if they woke him.
At some point between his first job and now, his depression had worsened to a deeper state than it had ever been in his life.
Life was a routine, monotonous and never-changing, miserable and defeating.
Harry convinced himself he didn’t need people, he only needed the open road and his dog, and that would be enough to suffice.
It was…
Somedays.
But other days (most of them), Harry found this sense of hopelessness, the weird in between where he wouldn’t do anything to end his life, but he wasn’t going to go kicking and screaming if it happened.
This world wasn’t made for him, he had told himself a long time ago.
It was destined to be a path of unhappiness from the moment he was born to the woman his mother was.
Happiness, prosperity, excitement towards life had never been an option when the woman who raised him rejected it all.
Harry couldn’t possibly start to consider his own behaviors of inviting this girl on a five-day trip with him around the country.
He was just being nice, is what he’ll tell himself because he’s fine being alone, really, he is.
It’s been this way for years; this was certainly just a blimp before his life becomes routine again.
++
Birdie is always sleeping in the passenger seat during the day.
It was weird to look to the side to see the seat empty, the expensive leather worn from the amount of time her lazy ass slept there.
However, Birdie was back with YN, tucked into her like they were the best of friends, and Harry never existed.
Traitor.
Acting as if Harry hadn't nursed her back to health when she was a puppy, too young to be away from her mother, and completely reliant on Harry to survive.
Could fool him.
Harry didn’t even want to acknowledge that Birdie has never taken to another person, ever, like she had with their visitor.
YN must have not slept well for weeks at this point, obvious by the dark circle under her eyes that had been covered with thick concealer when they’d first met.
YN didn't stir from his bed until nearly five in the evening, he had kept the blinds down, and the black-out curtains drawn so that no light was seeping in to disturb her as she slept, making up for lost time.
When YN finally does wake up, after using the bathroom, she pads up to the front of the cabin, and sits in the passenger seat, legs crossed and tucked under her as she glances out the windshield at the snowy mountains ahead of them.
Harry looks over at her, his eyes accidentally falling on her chest before they’re darting back up to her face - she wasn’t looking at him anyways but the henley she was wearing wasn’t the thickest and the pebbling of her nipples was obvious.
“Sleep alright?” Harry asks, eyes already back on the road, with this weather he didn’t have the luxury of not being vigilant.
“Yes, thank you,” YN replies as she curls her legs up, wrapping her arms around her knees, and resting her chin on her kneecaps.
Harry just nods, he’s not good at conversation, at one point he was but that was a skill he wasn’t familiar with anymore.
The extent of his communication was over the radio, letting other truckers know that they’re driving like assholes or the customers he had contracts with - that was really it.
They sit in silence for a few minutes, it’s comfortable for Harry but he can tell by the way that YN keeps looking over at him and then out the window, that it wasn’t the same for her as the only noise filtering in was the engine.
“Why don’t you have a home to go back to?” YN’s voice breaks the quiet, her voice is unsure because what were they supposed to being doing on this trip together?
Was YN supposed to keep him company by conversation since her purpose to come wasn’t sex.
Or did Harry just want the physical company?
Just a body in the seat, nothing more than that.
“Why don’t you?” Harry replies in a terse tone, it was defensive because he didn’t talk about his past, to anyone, fucking ever.
He felt emotion when he thought about what his home used to be.
It trudges up anger, helplessness, desperation.
All things that his depression helped him ignore.
He isn’t an open book, the most binded close, lock-protected type because he wasn’t going to share anything that made him vulnerable, weak, and the only thing that got him to the point was recalling what a shitty childhood he had.
Shitty was an understatement.
Harry feels instant regret for his choice of words when YN flinches at his response back, arms coming to wrap around her knees a bit tighter, and that has him cursing himself out in his mind.
He didn’t want YN to be scared of him, he could tell she was already a jumpy thing which most likely came with the required hypervigilance of the work that she does, and he doesn’t want her to have to feel that way with him.
“I’m sorry,” YN apologizes, a nervousness in her voice as she positions her body more towards the door, and away from him.
Fuck.
Harry doesn’t reply because he doesn’t know how to say ‘sorry’ without showing emotion.
As he never did before, vulnerability was his worst fear, and he was going to do anything and everything possible to never show it.
“I didn’t mean to snap at you,” Harry says instead, glancing over at her but she’s looking out the window, head now resting on the cold glass.
“It’s fine, I’m used to it,” YN dismisses easily, not turning to look back over at him.
And she didn’t say it in a way that she wanted sympathy or that anything like that.
Her voice was kind and forgiving, understanding which just shows how beat down she is.
Tired enough to just accept others' behaviors because that’s easier than fighting, accepting how people talked to her because she was so used to it that it didn’t seem like anything special when they did.
And God, that made Harry feel like absolute and utter shit.
He didn’t know YN, no, but he had a feeling that she really was a sweet girl under all the anxiousness and turmoil, and didn’t deserve that treatment from anyone.
Harry doesn’t want YN to feel like she has to get used to him treating her the same way that others have but they only have a few days together.
Why did this bother Harry so much when in the grand scheme of things, their time together was so limited that he shouldn’t care like he does, and he’ll continue to lie to himself - to chalk it up to a lame excuse.
Instead of apologizing, his voice is probably still too gruff when he responds, “You shouldn’t be used to shit like that. You need to stand up for yourself, not let people walk all over you. S’not right.”
YN picks at a loose thread of the pajamas pants she’s wearing, “I shouldn’t have asked, it’s my fault. I get why you said that.”
Harry hasn’t registered guilt as an emotion he’s had for a very long time, it hasn’t been a necessity, and it’s not YN’s fault that it's pounding inside his skull right now.
There’s something about how understanding she’s being, kind and giving him every opportunity to act like it never happened, and she deserves to be treated nicer - nicer than he was treating her too.
“S’not your fault,” Harry shakes his head, his fingers knuckling the steering wheel a bit harder because going from zero to a hundred of getting his feelings back wasn’t an easy thing to try to sift through - it was overwhelming, and he didn’t know why it was happening.
YN doesn’t say anything else, props her chin back on her knees after a while and watches the open road, her eyes trailing over the snow-capped mountain tops, to the wildlife they would occasionally see off in the plateaus. 
Harry finds himself wanting to talk.
He wants to know more about her, but he can’t do that when he just shut her out.
“You can go nap again, if you want. It’s going to be at least another hour before we’ll stop,” Harry tries to keep his voice more friendly, but it just comes out flat, monotone, bored.
YN had been leaning down to scratch behind Birdie’s ear, lounging right at her feet on the floor, perpetually dozing off - “I won’t sleep tonight if I do. If I’m bothering you, I can go back there.”
She slips her feet out from underneath her, standing up with the intention to get out of Harry’s space.
“No, that’s-” Harry cuts off when he realizes he had wrapped his fingers around her wrist to stop her, light with no real intention to stop her actions.
They both look down but Harry’s dropping his hold on her, continuing where he left off without acknowledging the touch, “That’s not what I meant. I just know this can be boring. I didn’t want you to feel obligated to feel like you had to sit up here with me.”
YN doesn’t seem alarmed or angered by the touch, she didn’t try to rip from his hold or shake him off, her body language was as calm as it had been before.
It was a relief because Harry was starting to have a sense of anxiety that YN  might be scared of him or intimidating, and he knew he came off…strong, unapproachable, unfriendly is just a few ways to describe him.
However, his intention is never to make her feel fear or concern about her safety around him.
His goal in these past twenty-four hours has become the exact opposite, an intense urge to protect her, even though he doesn’t know her or what she’s been through.
“I like sitting up here with you,” YN tells him shyly, her eyes darting away from him as she moves to sit back down in the passenger chair.
It had been a miracle that Birdie hadn’t snagged it in the short amount of time that YN had been out of it.
Harry’s chest warms at the admission, but he doesn’t let it show.
Of course he doesn’t.
Fuck, she’s pretty and Harry has to look back at the road because he could just stare, admire, and try to memorize her features because each time he gets a good look, he feels like he discovers something new about her.
He doesn’t say anything back, only leans over to turn up the heat a bit when he realizes that she has goosebumps on her arms, and she smiles to herself at that - almost like she doesn’t realize that she did.
And that anger floods in because all he did was turn the fucking heat up for her and apparently that gesture, that miniscule gesture, was enough to cause her to smile which make Harry wonder what the fuck she had gone through in her life.
Harry likes her smile, he thinks that he’d like to see it more often, and that thoughts are scary to him - all of this is more terrifying than it should be because his mind was becoming occupied with her.
So much so that he hadn’t thought much about his depression, his lowness, that dank place he tries to keep his mind out of at all today when normally it’s the only thing that is circulating in his mind.
++
Harry had been very spot on when he predicted that they would hit the next town in just a little of the hour.
He hadn’t eaten yet today and with a realization that he didn’t think that YN had either.
“Did you eat anything?” Harry asks with a frown, he knows that he startles YN a bit because they hadn’t spoken in that hour, and they probably would have if Harry had shut down the initial attempt at conversation, “At all today?”
“Not yet,” YN tells him as she sits up, stretching her arms above her head.
Harry knows to keep his eyes up because even out of his peripheral vision, he can see the flash of her smooth belly as the shirt rising just the slightest, and since when did he find his eyes wandering to that of any woman before?
It seemed that every inch of her body was of interest to him.
And even though that sounds bad, it truly wasn’t in a predatory or sexual way, it was more of an awe, admiration to how beautiful she was, and how perfectly she was crafted albeit much too skinny.
He can see the outline of her ribcage when she stretches, not enough fat on her bones to disguise them at all, her hip bones more prominent than they should be, and all of this a clear indication that she wasn’t eating enough.
And was Harry the person to talk to?
No, not really.
He was skinnier than he should be too.
Depression sucked the appetite from him, but he did enough to keep his muscles, even if his ribs are showing more than his abdominal muscles at this point but it was hard to have any motivation to care about his appearance that much. 
“Aren’t you hungry?” Harry doesn’t mean for it to come out as accusatory as it did, he really needed to work on his tone.
YN pulls at the hem of her shirt, almost like she realized that Harry noticed how skin and bones she was under her clothes, “I am but I also learned how to cope with the hunger pains when I get them. I try to save my money to eat when it gets to that point, where it hurts.”
Harry doesn’t like that one fucking bit.
“You’re not going to do that bullshit when you’re with me, you got it?” Harry huffs, letting his irritation show and he doesn’t know how it translates - whether she gets that it is because it concerns him or that she thinks that he just finds her annoying.
It’s a tossup at this point.
“You’re going to eat when you’re hungry, no stomach pains, none of that shit,” Harry meets her eye, facial expressions firm to show that he means it.
“I’m sorry,” YN apologizes again, eyes wider and remorseful, “I’ll eat.”
Harry wishes he had the words to tell her not to apologize, to explain his behavior, and that it was all with good intent.
He wasn’t yelling at her, but he was concerned.
Instead of saying those things, he just grunts out, “Good.”
“Did you eat?” YN asks in return, not throwing it in his face but genuine concern in her words.
Harry holds up his coffee cup, “This is my fuel.”
“But…you have money to eat?” 
The confusion knits her brow in a way that shouldn’t be as cute as it is.
“Yeah, m’just not hungry a lot of the times,” Harry shrugs, it’s not a lie.
YN’s lip twist at the side, thoughtful as she reties the knot of the pajama pants, too big and slipping down her hips, her voice quiet like if Harry hadn’t really been listening, he wouldn’t have heard it, and she probably wouldn’t have said it again.
“I really love McDonalds.”

Expanding on an idea I had, I'll link the post :3
(MULTIMONSTER/GLORYHOLE/AFAB/FTM/ANY BODY TYPE/WERE-TIGER/ORC)
(3.8k words)
(CNC/FREE-USE/MONSTERKINK/GLORYHOLE/ANAL/ORAL/VAGANAL)
SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM TO SEE THE REFERENCES OF THE CREATURES!<3
(Heads up, pink text is just for unassorted side characters, they might make an appearance in future parts of the fic, and might have their own colors then.)
You walk into the facility excitedly. You had passed the screening, background check, drug test, lab work, and numerous other loops to fill the position you had applied for. You knew it was a sex-working job, but didn't have much more information than that, which you didn't mind.
You walked up to the front desk with your paperwork to greet the busty woman sitting there, her bright green eyes darting up at you from beneath her bangs. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders and the coils, along with her breasts bounced lightly as she moved. A flush of red swam across your cheeks and you tried to avert your gaze, pushing your view back up to her eyes.
"Hello!, I'm (y/n)! I'm here to see-", By the time you'd gotten past your name, she'd already found you on the list.
"Ah! (y/n), Spelled like this right?", She showed you the clipboard and smiled, pointing to your name with a pen. You nodded and returned her cheery expression.
"Yep! That's me!", She nodded and stood, you could now see her red, partially unbuttoned blouse and tight, black, knee-length skirt. As your eyes traveled down her body, they fell on her lovely bright red heels. All of these colors complemented her Olive skin delightfully, so much so that it was very difficult not to stare.
"Come on, hun. Follow me.", I wandered closely behind her and she led me into a large warehouse-type hallway, with many different doors leading into different hallways or rooms. We walked down the hallway and into a blue door on the left. She scanned her keycard and the door buzzed open.
"Once you've been here for a couple of days and decide that you'd like to continue, we will give you a keycard. Until then, I will come let you in."
The door opened into a large waiting area, The flooring was a beautiful dark wood, leading up to the furniture. All of the furniture was luxurious, the arms swirling elegantly. The couches and chairs were a red fabric with black flowers strewn across them, little whisps of swirls against the flower pattern. There was a Traditional Gold Damask on Bright Red Wallpaper lining the walls, all the way to a front desk with another woman with red hair and blue eyes looking up from her paperwork through her glasses.
"Oh! Is this the new hire? They're gorgeous!"
"Yes isn't he? I just know the clientele is going to love him. Alright, Cassandra, I'm going to take him back. Don't send in anyone too rough until his third day please."
She smiled and Cassandra nodded, "Of course Andromeda. As always."
She returned to her paperwork and the dark-haired woman led me into a room with an "Employees only" Sign.
"Alright, and If you just strip down, You'll be led to your room for the night. Oh, I almost forgot to ask, would you prefer human clients or monsters-", You'd almost forgotten monsters would be an option, but you felt your heart race at the idea. You'd never been with a monster before and the very thought put slick between your thighs.
"Monsters- please.", You said politely. She nodded and left you in the room by yourself. You looked into the body-length mirror as you undressed, hearing Cassandra's words in your head, calling you gorgeous. You were feeling super confident.
You heard a soft rap on your door, "May I come in, (y/n)?"
"Yes, I'm ready...", You bashfully covered yourself but only slightly. Andromeda smiled at you and gave you a soft look up and down.
"You look beautiful, come with me this way to your room.", You nodded and walked slowly behind her as she opened the door and led you down the red hallway, Along the wall, there were dark, red cushioned lifts that hung about 3 feet above the ground. The same wallpaper as the waiting room shines softly in the dim lighting. The woman opened a door with her keycard, another "Employees only" sign hanging from it.
As you entered, the hallway wrapped around as if to mirror the one you were just in, full of box-like rooms that were slightly elevated. She opened one of the secure doors, as you looked inside, the room was filled with that same, cushioned material, a pillow built into a table in the middle, and a red button hung next to the door.
"I'm going to open the door and you will put your rear end and your knees on the other side of the wall. It will secure your hips in place, and you will put your abdomen on this table. when your lower half is secured, this wall will open a small hole in front of you and the table will adjust you fowars slightly, or this wall will get closer to you."
You tried to keep up with what she was saying as you looked all over the room, figuring out how the mechanisms functioned so well. There must've been a lot of science, engineering, and thought put into these rooms. Andromeda scanned her card on the button pad, which helped adjust the walls and seating.
Once your hips were through the wall, and your knees were comfortable; you adjusted the closeness of the wall, and a hole opened up. The hole was right up next to your mouth and you couldn't help but daydream. Just thinking about the randomly colored cocks that would be in your face, how they might taste, and how thick they might be. More slick dripped down your thigh and you prayed no one would notice.
"Alright, are you comfortable?"
"Yes, Ma'am", She looked over her clipboard at how you addressed her as she checked off boxes, you almost wished she would play with you herself, now shamelessly staring at her chest, or at least what you could see under her clipboard.
"Would you like an aphrodisiac?", You looked at her confused and blushed.
"What- is that?", Andromeda put her clipboard to her hip and smiled,
"It's a drug, more spasifically a gass for us as a compsany, that makes you feel extra- in the mood."
She winked and chuckled. You nodded and looked down shamefully, "Yes please-"
"Alright hun, I'll be sure to set you up before we open. I'm going to ho around to the other side and make sure your legs are as open as they need to be, Ill close the wall once you're adjusted and we'll help all the other girls in. While you're waiting well hit you with the drugs okay?"
"Mhm"
You answered softly and let yourself relax, resting your arms on the rectangular table, your back arching softly as you adjusted. You were happy to find there was another armrest and a small lift button for the table. You messed with it, raising the table slightly and lowering it. You rested your arms on the wall, armrest, practicing how you would suck on the monsters that offered their cocks to you. Andromeda could be heard behind you,
"Oh, my~", she giggled softly as she examined you.
"Someone's exited huh? Alright, do you mind if I touch your legs and thighs? Make you look presentable?"
"No, I dont mind."
She hummed softly as her soft hands wrapped around your calves, pulling your legs carefully apart and gently spreading your pussy lips but making sure not to touch your aching hole. You wished she would, you imagined her acrylics gently rubbing at your insides, her fingertips rubbing your G-spot. You gasped softly when you felt her spread you, and she heard.
"Alright, you're all set up and look monster-ready", She chuckled and made her way back to the front hallway.
"Ok sweety, I'm going to close the holes around you and obviously the one in front of you will just close. The room will fill with a light gass, but it shouldn't feel suffocating. If it does, or anything hurts or goes wrong, press that red button to your left. Am I understood?"
You nodded and looked into her bright green eyes. You wanted to make her proud and prove you deserved to stay and that you could do the best at your job. Maybe you'd get a reward for doing well.
The hole closed and the wall behind you clenched tightly around your hips. This made you feel secure and the squeeze made you feel secure. A robotic voice sounded in a speaker,
"Is your waist secured too tightly?", I sat there for a moment and I answered out loud not sure what else I could do.
"No."
"Good. Prepare for Aphrodisiac.", As the voice went silent, you heard a soft hissing, and quiet music began to play. You took a few purposeful deep breaths as you let your mind wander to the various creatures that might violate you.
You hadn't realized how much time had gone by and soon the hole in front of you opened up and the hole around your hip loosened slightly. You could hear talking behind you, a deep gruff voice sounding out.
"Good- gods... Look at this one-", Another voice soon to follow.
"Damn, I wonder how good his mouth is...(y/n) huh? Cute name. I'll take the mouth first then we can swap out."
You looked down to see the drool pooled against your chin and your face flushed in embarrassment. You sat upright, trying to ready yourself for the fun.
"Ooh. You're really exited for this huh?", A harsh slap fell across your ass, causing you to moan out. The creature laughed and you felt a pointed tip against your sloppy hole.
Soon a thick, green cock was pushed through the hole in front of you, the pre-cum-covered tip pressed lightly against your cheek. The feeling of it was amazing, the drugs filling your head with so much glee. You rested your weight on your elbows and took hold of; what you were assuming was an orc's cock with both hands and rubbed the leaking, pink-tinted tip all over your face.
A soft groan could be heard from the other side of the wall and the creature began to thrust into the hole and against your face.
"Fuuck yes.. god whatever you're doing, pretty boy- keep going-", This excited you, and you happily obliged, and began to softly kiss against his soft tip. You smeared his leaking cum against your lips like salty lipgloss.
The animal behind you thrusted into your cunt roughly, causing you to pull the Orc just into your lips and moan out around him.
"Mmm!", You pushed your hips back against the man behind you.
"Very eager arent you, Sweetheart... I'm going to make you into a delightful little cum-mutt.", he growled as he began to push his hips forward into you, filling you and letting your walls stretch around him, all the way down to his inflating knot.
You were praying it was a Were-Tiger, you loved how handsome they were, their enticing colors, a Lion, or maybe a panther- the daydreams swam around in your head as you began to throat the Orc without much thought, swirling your tongue around his sensitive tip.
"Oh my god, that's so fucking good- yes- Good boy. I might become a regular if you keep this up...", this was encouragement, and you began to suck him into your throat deeper, bobbing your head faster.
You felt a set of claws sink into your hips deeply, but not breaking skin as the creature behind you pounded into you and pressed his knot as hard as he could against you. It was obvious how much he wanted to force it in.
The hole in front of you was big enough to fit the orc's balls through and you used one hand to steady his cock in your mouth, the other reaching down to fondle and squeeze them teasingly. Another soft hissing noise filled the space next to you and a little of the gas spilled out of the holes, encouraging the monsters to be more aggressive with you.
Your holes were getting violently fucked from both ends now and you could feel their lengths pulsing and throbbing against your walls and esophagus. You moaned loudly over the orc's cock, the vibrations sending him into a thrusting frenzy as he forced himself as deeply into your mouth as he could, cum filling your throat quicker than you could swallow, the warmth flooding your chest as you tried not to gag and choke.
Soon after, you felt the man behind you shove his knot into you as he came, his sharp tip pressing against your sensitive cervix. You squirted against him and pressed back against him, trying to ride out your orgasm on his knot. As your pussy clenched and grabbed at his cock, he made sure to grind with you, milking himself as much as he could. The orc pulled out of the hole in front of you and you could hear his heavy breathing as he leaned on the wall.
"Oh my- fuck that was so good.."
You moaned even louder, now that your mouth wasn't full as the man began to fuck you with his knot, popping it in and out as he continued to drain himself. He pulled out and groped your ass affectionately. You happily spaced out and arched your back, laying down and breathing for a moment. After about two minutes you felt a set of two giant fingers rub up and down your pussy and asshole.
The orc was using both you and the man's juices to lubricate both of your holes. You pushed your hips back against his fingers needily.
"Hold on sweet boy. I'll be inside of you soon.", This made you let out a soft pathetic whine, and then a thick, red, textured cock entered the hole in front of you. You immediately wrapped your mouth and hand around him excitedly, circling your tongue around his length.
A roar sounded from the other side, and he immediately began to fuck your mouth, which you were practically begging for. One of the orc's fingers slipped into your pussy, filling it even more than the other creature's cock did.
You drooled more around the man's length and rubbed him vigorously as you finally got to see the knot that filled you. You reached up with your free hand and treated him as you did the orc, massaging his knot and squeezing it tightly.
The orc pushed his fingers into you, into both stretching your holes. He eased them into you and your walls clenched hungrily around them. He chuckled and removed his finger from your pussy, keeping one in your virgin asshole. He moved his finger gently in and out and you could feel his tip against your cunt. The idea of his pretty tip against you made you clench more, just to squeeze out any of your slicks that you could. You'd spend all day sucking it if you could.
"Good boy~ Keep up like that and I'm going to cum down your delicious- feeling throat. God yes- right there-", The man in front of you cooed at you and you moaned around his tip louder as the orc entered you. You swirled your tongue aggressively around his tip and flicked your tongue over the small crease and hole.
His hips spasmed, forcing his cock into your mouth as his throbbing cock spewed warm, sticky cum into your mouth. You pushed your head forward to get the rest of him into your mouth, even trying to fit his knot into your mouth. You felt like your jaw was going to unhinge, but were almost excited to suck on it.
"Ugh- F-God!!", He milked himself into your mouth and tried to help shove himself into your hungry jaws, almost getting off to the feeling of your teeth scraping against his large knot.
The orc pushed himself into you deeply, enough to tease himself by rubbing against the hole of your cervix.
"Mmm, you're so tight-", He chuckled deeply and pulled his finger out of your ass and took your hips into his hands, gripping you securely as he began to thrust in and out.
The man in front of you pulled out of your mouth, allowing you to gasp and cough softly. You wiped your mouth and giggled dazedly, happily arching your back for the monster behind you.
It wasn't long before he couldn't help himself and began to greedily move faster. A soft tapping could be heard as his balls slapped softly against your clit, providing extra stimulation for yourself. You moaned loudly and cursed softly.
You began to grope your tits, pinching at your nipples with one hand and ducking on your fingers with the other, missing the feeling of something in your mouth. Your tongue felt lonely, but your pussy was being very well taken care of. The orc was shaped so wonderfully, his cock was slightly thicker in the middle, rubbing every single weak spot you had. You wanted to hold in your orgasm for as long as possible but were not successful, squirting against him and pushing your hips back into him to encourage your orgasm.
He happily moved his hips slower, guiding you through the rest of your orgasm. After you'd finished, he pulled out of you and pressed himself against you asshole.
"Now, I get to treat you like a real boy-", He laughed and pushed himself roughly into your ass and moved aggressively. The orc was needy for your tightness, huffing and grunting like an animal as he took you. You could feel his big hands wrapping around your whole waist as he used you like a fleshlight.
A heavy fog settled over you as you lay down against the table, happily just trying to relax your body for the other. You could hear the other creature talking to the orc behind you.
"God he looks so good when he's full, and his pussy is leaking cum.", The orc laughed as he thrusted.
"Isn't he? and his ass is so fucking tight- I can't get enough. We'll- UIgh- definitely have to come back-", The orc leaned forward and rested some of his weight against your back, you could feel the warmth and sweat on his chest. Your whines and whimpers subsided to quiet breaths of foggy salvation.
"We should request a private room with him, if he ended up a perma-hire." You could sense the other monster's eyes on you. You imagined him looking down at you like a steak and drooling against the soft fabric beneath you.
"God- I'm so close-", The orc grunted as he drove himself as hard as he could into you, groaning and laughing as he fucked you into a happy stupor. You felt a hot liquid burst into you and you screamed out, your tongue hanging out like a dog.
He panted and held himself inside of you for a moment before carefully pulling out. They both laughed softly and ran their hands and paws over your thighs and waist.
"You did so good for us pretty boy, we'll be back to see you again if we can. Maybe we'll have the pleasure of seeing your gorgeous face. It has to be as beautiful as your body."
They both gave your ass a good slap before you heard them leave. After a moment, you heard mechanisms wiring and the door around your hips was opened as well as the door in front of you. Your eyes drifted up to see the busty secretary who led you back here.
"Hiii Andromedaaa...", You slurred softly and giggled, absolutely fucked out of your mind. She smiled down at you and moved the hair out of your face.
"Did you have fun darling?", Her voice was soft and she held her clipboard up with her pen ready.
"It was very wonderful, I had so much fun.", She nodded and wrote something down.
"Mhm. Did they treat you well?", Her eyes didn't leave her paper.
"Yes, Ma'am.", She once more wrote something down and helped you out of the machine after tucking the clipboard under her arm. You smiled and wobbled slightly.
"Would you like some help? We have some really strong staff who can hold you up or carry you to your room to rest.", You nodded and looked around, trying to find something for you to steady yourself. Andromeda pulled a small walkie-talkie from her pocket and spoke into it.
"Hey, Can you send a carrier here, to hall 3-A please?", Within mere moments, a woman walked into the hall, she must've been at least 5ft 11'. You gawked at her, she was built very strongly, her breasts blending with muscle.
"Hello, I'll be your Carrior for the night. May I?", She smiled and opened her arms, taking a step closer. You nodded and replied softly. She had a soft Southern accent that made me swoon.
"Mhm- Please-", You reached out for her and did your best to stumble over to her. She picked you up carefully, bridal style. You looked up and studied her features. She had Darker skin than Andromeda's olive tint, a delightful, deep caramel color. Her hair was up in a ponytail or a messy bun, you couldn't tell very well. It looked to be a box dyed red but over her already dark hair.
She carried you to the room you had undressed in and into a side room you hadn't noticed. It was a bathroom with a luxurious bath and she gently laid you in it.
"Would you like me to turn on the water for you?", Her face tinted slightly darker as she looked you over.
"Yes please", You smiled up at her, blushing as well. She turned the water on to a nice hot temperature used a small picture and filled it with warm water, gently rinsing you off. The bath was then plugged and she pulled another pitcher off of the counter that was full of a creme-colored liquid and what looked like flower petals.
"If you dont mind my sayin' so- you look very pretty, uhm-", She gingerly poured the milk bath mixture into the water and over your body.
"(Y/N)", You added and giggled at her bashfullness.
"Got it. Well, I'm gonna let you clean up alright? Sure you can manage?", She stood, folding her arms in front of her like a bouncer at a club.
"Yes, I think I'll be alright.", You giggled more and smiled big. She nodded and opened the door to leave.
"You just uh- Let me know if you need me alright?"
"Alright.", You watched as she left and waited until hearing the second door to your room close before squealing happily, the night had gone amazingly and you'd been carried back to your room by the most attractive woman you thought you'd ever seen. You'd definitely be staying.

ENAMOURED by your ghosts au I would love details on what happened to etho 👀 from my understanding it was hels??? Very obssessed with that art btw it's so cool
Yeah yeah yeah I've worked out a little more of the detail for this whole backstory in my head since I last talked about it so I can actually get into it sure :]
So while the property that Grian and Joel end up in during the main plot of the au is large, it's mostly taken up by like the giant ass manor that's on it and the grounds around that. Which is why they've got such a plethora of ghosts, there have been thousands of people living there over thousands of years. Etho's property however, which he bought for cheap maybe ten years before the main story of the au, is almost entirely undeveloped, and has very rarely been a place people lived, hence why he's got like 3 ghosts total. There's a single cabin on the property, one that hasn't been used since around the 1890s when the property was used as a hunting grounds, which was promptly abandoned after the hunting accident that led to Gem's death. Hels had, up until Gem's death and subsequent residence on the property as a ghost, been the only one haunting the property for about 500 years.
He was generally unpleasant in his life, but 500 years on his own building resentment and anger in his loneliness in his unchanging world as he watches Wels across the fence seemingly finding companionship in his afterlife hadn't exactly made him any better. He was stubborn, and unfriendly, and averse to change, and extremely quick to anger. He had lost the deft touch of control that most knights wield over their acts of violence. Lacking his sword in death and unable to leave any touch on the world other than the occasional scratch from the sharp talon like ends of his gauntlets' fingers, he has taken to leaving long, animal like scratches in his environment when he cannot ignore that call to violence in his anger. The cabin looks like it's been ransacked by a bear, claw dug grooves in doors and tables, old dusty furniture with fabric tears revealing rotted insides, wallpaper that peels in unnatural places and forms. The trees around the property are often similarly marked. The only thing seemingly left fully intact, is a dark sword mounted above the fireplace.
Gem, being the strong-willed individual that she is, manages to mellow him out a bit in the 100 or so years they spend alone together on the property. She herself is strange and unusual in a way that seems to throw him off enough to manage to endear her to him in the time he spends too confused to be angry. And so he remains this kind of sulking, possessive, angry thing, but they share the house, and having as sharp a tongue as she does, Gem starts to turn him towards more verbal sparing than enacting any physical violence on their surroundings.
And so that 100 years of joint solitude passes by, Cub dies on the property and haunts his respective corner, seemingly uninterested in sharing the little cabin with Gem and Hels, and so Hels remains comfortable in his unchanging world.
And then Etho buys the property.
And it isn't exactly strange that someone has bought the property, it had probably passed through a dozen hands in the time since Hels had been stuck there, but no one had ever really moved in. It had been used as a hunting estate and as a scout's meeting place and as a garden, but never had anyone looked at the little cabin he had claimed as his own and decided they were going to live there. And the assumption had been that with the state it was in, no one would. Until Etho came along.
He comes in, all on his own, and starts fixing things in the little cabin, pulling out old furniture, cleaning dusty floors and struggling through plumbing work and tearing out old wallpaper. The only other person around in this time is XB, who he seems to have hired to handle the grounds while he handles the house. By the time the house is even slightly livable he's moved in.
This, obviously, does not make Hels very happy. Gem is happy to see the house get an update, and is intrigued by this weird lonesome guy who has moved onto their property, and this only seems to upset Hels more. He starts acting out I little ways, tearing Etho's clothes, scratching new furnature he brings in, messing up repair work.
Etho isn't oblivious to this, and isn't exactly a skeptic when it comes to the supernatural, so he starts talking to whatever entity he imagines to be antagonizing him throuout the day, and decides to antagonize him right back, much to Gem's entertainment and Hels' increasing agitation.
It is the day when Etho finally decides to take down the old sword above the fireplace that things go wrong.
Etho probably should've known not to touch the sword when he watched a set of scratch marks appear in the stones of the mantle beside him as he prepared to take it down. But he kept going. And maybe when a second set raked across his brand new dining room table as he pulled the sword down he should've thought to just put it back. Instead he continues to verbally antagonize Hels as he brings the thing down. Maybe he gets a little too on the nose, connecting the sword to his antagonizing spector, either way he says just the wrong thing to set the ghost off. Hels, used to interacting with Gem, who he can touch but can't injure, attempts to grab at Etho in a moment of anger, instead managing to claw the shit out of the side of his face. In the panic of realizing what he had done he attempts to catch him by the arm as he stumbles back and does the exact same thing to his arm. Queue panic and blood and such. XB hears the commotion from wherever he is outside and is the one who calls an ambulance and such. I imagine Etho gets his first shaky glimpse of Hels right as he's passing out from the blood loss.
Etho survives, of course, but looses an eye and has some pretty severe damage to his face and arm. Gem is the first of the ghosts he meets when he returns to the property, Hels hiding away when he comes home. He kind of shuts himself away in the house after that. If it seemed like he was running away from something moving to this middle of nowhere empty property before, it certainly seemed like he was hiding now. Xb is the only one he keeps around, and even he's stuck at an arms distance. It takes him a long time to not be terrified of Gem, or of Cub when he meets him. How he and Hels eventually manage to coexist is a whole other story. But either way I've been typing for too long lol I need to wrap this up
Crazy place for this au to have ended up at from 'haha wouldn't it be funny if Etho was Grian and Joel's weird shut-in neighbor that can also see ghosts' but whatever

Tumblr media
January hit me like a ton of bricks. The spring semester at GU was fast approaching, and after taking the whole of December off from work I was a bit anxious. Bruce had gone to a lot of trouble to get me set up at university. Alfred had spent hours getting me up to speed, answering any questions I had so I would be ready for the class work. Babs had programmed an entire app for me. And most importantly, Jason was depending on me. I couldn't let any of them down.
In the last week before the semester started, Jay took me and Damian to see a little house in his territory. A squat little thing with an overgrown front yard and a closed in porch; Jason immediately assured me he'd fix the lock for it before we moved in. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an unfinished basement I could use for the clinic. The attached garage had a door to the basement, and the kitchen was open to the living room with a little island in between. It was old and worn down, but the bones were strong. With a little care and time, it could be a home. Damian examined one of the bedrooms, a critical little frown on his face.
“What do you think, kiddo?” I smiled softly, watching him walk the length of the room.
The realtor shifted uncomfortably as he briefly leveled his gaze on her before turning to look at me instead; “... I am sure you will bring out its best potential.”
I smiled softly, looking around. “I think we will too. You like the room?”
He nodded. “It will do.”
I turned to Jason, grinning, and he nodded to the realtor. “Sounds like we'll take it.”
The realtor nodded, sighing in relief, and led Jason to the kitchen to go over our next steps. Damian looked out the window at the backyard, a curious expression on his face.
“What’re you thinking about, baby?” 
“... We will need to replace the locks on these windows.”
I nodded, gently stroking his back; “don't you worry about that stuff. Jay will make sure it's all perfectly safe before we move in. Let us deal with the boring adult stuff, you just think about what you want for your room.”
“... Like what?”
“Anything. We can paint the walls, put up shelving, anything you want!”
He looked around, considering. “... Can I paint the walls?”
“Sure you can! It's your room, sweetheart. You can do whatever you like with it. And if you decide you don't like how it turns out we can take it all out so you can do it again. And again, and again!”
He smiled a little, nodding slowly. “... I have my own room at the manor, of course, but … this feels different. … I didn't choose the furniture there, it was already set up for guests when I moved in. … The wallpaper has probably been up since before I was born, it's practically antique. … My belongings are there, but still the room doesn't exactly feel like … Mine. …”
He leaned against my side and I wrapped an arm around his shoulders. “Well, this room is all yours. You get to pick the furniture, the layout, the colors, everything. You don't have to keep anything you don't like, and you can change it as often as you wish. There's no pressure to keep it perfect, no generations of ancestors watching from on high and clucking disapprovingly if you change something. It's yours.”
He took one last look around, really taking everything in before we left the room, rejoining Jason and the realtor in the kitchen. An affectionate smile slipped across Jason's face; “making big plans, demon brat?”
Damian smirked; “I will need lots of paint. When will you have the building secured?”
“Two weeks. And we'll have to hire some contractors for a few things. Probably move in some time next month, and the basement will be ready by next year.”
“Ah, Mr. Todd, sorry - one last signature.” The realtor pointed to a line on the paperwork.
Jason signed, and the realtor smiled to Damian; “so, young man, what color are you thinking for your room?”
“... As black as my soul.” He stared at her, entirely expressionless.
The realtor blinked a few times, unsure if he was joking. “... Heh. … Your son is adorable…”
Damian's eyes shifted between emotions so fast I couldn't recognize them before he had a neutral mask on. Jason snorted, and I spoke up; “brother, actually.”
“O- oh! … Sorry …”
Jason passed the paperwork back, along with a check. The realtor did her best to mask her surprise; she was clearly not used to clients not needing to go through the bank. Damian slipped his hand into mine, stepping closer.
Tumblr media
Damian and Jon were sitting in front of the tv playing games. Jason was reading a book on the couch, and I was sitting with his head in my lap, playing with his hair. He looked up at me, smiling softly, and cupped my cheek, pulling me down into a soft kiss.
Jon groaned at something happening on the screen, and Damian cheered; “that is why I'm the leader!”
Jon laughed affectionately; “no, you're the leader because you're the smartest person I know. This, on the other hand, was pure luck.”
Damian flushed a bit, scoffing; “tt. Luck had nothing to do with it! I am just a more skilled player than you, Jon.”
“Prove it!” Jon smirked and they started another round.
I chuckled softly, watching them for a while. “Alright, boys, finish that round, and then we can go.”
Jason sat up, stretching a bit. “Can't believe you convinced me to take them to the zoo…”
“Bruce got us the year passes, we should use them!” I grinned; “besides, look how excited they are.”
The boys were hurriedly getting everything turned off and put away. Jason chuckled, getting his boots. “The things I do for you…”
I giggled, kissing his cheek. “Let's all say ‘thank you, Jason'~”
Jon grinned; “thanks Jay!”
Damian nodded; “thank you, Todd.”
Jay chuckled, leading us down to the car. “Alright, alright. You're welcome, kids.”
We piled in and headed to the Gotham Zoo. I watched the scenery shift around us; slowly more and more greenery took over, and the buildings got shorter. Jason turned the radio on, and I found myself thinking about the direction my life had taken. The person I was a year ago would never have believed how full my life was now…
As we pulled in to the parking lot, I was startled out of my thoughts by Jon sputtering; “with who??”
“A girl at school. She's in my art class.” Damian replied evenly.
“I … you … who's this girl? You've never mentioned a girl before!”
“What happened?” I murmured to Jason as he parked.
“Apparently the demon spawn has a date next week.” Jason smirked.
We climbed out of the car, Jon still flabbergastedly rambling; “well who is she?”
“Her name is Emma. We're going to get boba after school.” Damian shrugged.
We made our way to the counter to buy Jon's ticket and go in, the boy continuing to interrogate Damian about his date the whole way there.
“... What is the big deal, Jon? You're acting as if I don't have other friends.”
“No! That's not what I … I just … a date?”
“... You don't think it's possible for someone to want to date me?”
“That's not what I said, Dami! You're great, it's just … surprising … you've never mentioned her before.” Jon flushed, looking away awkwardly.
“I am mentioning her now.”
“... Evidently.” Jon huffed softly.
“... I'm not marrying her, Kent. It's just boba. I didn't think I needed to get your permission to invite a girl out.”
Jon bristled at the use of his last name. “... I didn't say you had to...”
I offered the boys a map, smiling gently. “Come on boys, where should we start?”
Damian sighed softly and took the map, looking over it. “... Reptile house?”
He looked over at Jon, who nodded, slowly offering Damian his hand. The boy considered him for a second before giving his own, eliciting an infectious grin from his friend. They ran off toward the reptile house, with me and Jason following them.
“... How long have they been like that?”
Jason tilted his head toward me; “like what?”
“Dancing around each other.”
“... You think …?” Jason looked between me and the boys up ahead.
“Pretty sure.”
“... Oh no … I don't think Damian even knows yet.” He laughed softly.
“Me either. He plays mind games at times, but not the ‘set up a fake date to make your crush jealous' type.”
The boys paused at the door of the reptile house, waiting for us. Damian stood with his back against the wall, watching the crowd around them, while Jon leaned in close to hear him talk.
“... I'm gonna tell him when we get home.” Jay smirked.
“No, you’re not! Jace, don't you dare ruin this for him! Let him figure it out on his own.”
“Ugh, why? That'll take forever.”
“If you tell him now do you think he's gonna believe you, or do you think he's going to retreat from his friendship with Jon and get really moody about it?”
Jason sighed. “... Ok, yeah … bet you anything Jon's gonna come out first.”
“... Loser plans a date tailored to the other's interests?”
“Done.” He smirked, shaking my hand.
“No interference.” I looked up at him sternly.
He nodded, chuckling; “no interference. From either of us.”
“Scout's honor.”

Ra’s Palace: Now Hiring 
Real-Estate Investor/Second in Command
Tumblr media
It was a hot early afternoon and I opened the doors of the hotel with a NOW HIRING sign on the doors. I dusted off my hands and returned inside to enjoy a cool glass of lemonade, sitting down in the lobby and struggling to read the daily newspaper. 
A university student by the name of William was walking out of his last class of the day and sighed dramatically as he felt the sun’s heat beaming down on him. He was a tall young man at 6’2/1.88 m with enchanting green eyes and brunette hair however he was quite fat at 360 lbs and even though he was 24, he was showing early signs of balding. 
As he was leaving campus, he noticed all the “Use the Buddy System” posters all over buildings and lampposts; the college was on high alert due to a missing student a couple of months ago. He had hoped that the student would have been found sooner or later but it seemed like the case had gone cold and the town went into preventive measures.
As he sluggishly trekked off of the campus, his body let out a loud groan and he looked around to see if he could find a cheap place to eat, which was not even an option in a college town. He pushed the thought of food and turned his attention to finding a well-paying job to help support himself through college.
He casually walked down the streets and went into every shop he saw, inquiring about a job opportunity yet no one was hiring. How is it that there are plenty of businesses surrounding the university yet no one is hiring? Not even for a temporary position. His body was covered in sweat and his shirt wasn’t helping him in concealing how out of shape he was, clinging to his pudgy body.  
Tumblr media
William was on the verge of giving up when he came across a “NOW HIRING” sign in front of a highly decorated hotel. “Ra’s Palace?” He asked aloud and looked around the street to see if anyone was around but the rest of the street was empty with abandoned buildings. He entered the building and a wave of cool air hit him, causing him to relax. He looked around and noticed all the fancy furniture and lighting around the lobby before his eyes fell onto an older fellow reading the newspaper…or at least trying to. 
“Uh…excuse me? Are you a manager?” He asked and the man looked up from his newspaper and watched him in silence which made William slightly uncomfortable. “Um…I saw the sign in front of the building and I was wondering if you still have any openings.” He muttered out as he scratched the back of his damp neck.
Silence lingered between the two as I took in a good look of the man as I tried to get a thorough read of him. After analysing his poor stature, his unfit body, and early balding problem, I could tell that he had a pure heart. “Ah! Welcome to Ra’s Palace, my good sir!” I proclaimed, naturally rolling his r’s. I walked towards the man and shook his sweaty hand as I looked up at him slightly. “Follow me, young sir. You’re looking for a job?” I asked as he led William through the Palace.
Tumblr media
William followed after the man with a slight smile as hope filled his heart. “Uh yes, I don’t have much experience but I am willing to take any job.” He stated and hoped that he wasn’t sounding too desperate. “I’ll clean the floors with a toothbrush if needed.” He chuckled nervously.
I heard the distressed plea and smirked to myself as I believed that this would be an easy change. “Ah nonsense, what are you currently doing with your life right now?” I asked curiously and led him to the grand pool area, accompanied with dive boards, water slides and a lazy river. I walked over to the outdoor bar and prepared a cool lemonade for the both of them.
Tumblr media
William did his best to sit down on the too small bar stool without sitting awkwardly or falling off. “Well, I’m in university for computer science and besides that, I’m a bit of a gaming streamer…not a large fanbase though.” He stated and bit his lip as he felt like he was demolishing the interview.  I smiled at the man and looked at him with my intense blue-green eyes as I passed him one of the lemonades. “Here you are.” I said and took a few sips from my cup. “That’s gotta start from somewhere. You should know that better than anyone.” I said with a spirited tone.
William was drinking the lemonade and was enjoying the crisp liquid hitting the back of his throat, quenching his thirst and cooling his piping hot body. “Haha thanks.” He said softly with a smile as he felt a bit more at ease around the gentleman. To hear that from a man, who has clearly put in the work, motivated him to keep pursuing his dreams of becoming a successive streamer. But that was soon put to a pause at his last statement. “Wait..what do you mean?”
I finished my drink and cleaned it out before letting out a soft burp. “Well I mean as a gaming influencer, you probably had to push through many lonely streams before you got a consistent fanbase.” I said as I moved from behind the bar and headed back inside the hotel, waving Williams to follow. “That’s pure persistence, Will.”
William grabbed his glass and quickly stood up to catch up with him, knocking over a stool or two in the process. “I-It’s William and I’m not a full time gamer, I just do it for a hobby.” He knew that he would never become a big name in the gaming industry due to his social anxiety and bland looks.
“Nonsense, I’ve watched a few streams of yours myself. You’re quite entertaining and have a good chemistry with your fans. I could use someone who is friendly and charismatic.” I affirmed and chuckled softly. “Don’t be so modest, Will.”
William felt at war with himself as he knew that he was in his third year of computer science, but the more that he thought about it, recollections of late nights and early mornings streaming both indie and mainstream games on his PC that he built himself appeared to him with his gaming chair leaving deep persistent indents in the carpet came to mind. “I appreciate that, many people believe that I’m slack off for focusing on gaming but I truly enjoy the experience and I get a stable income from it.” Will explained with a smile. Memories of living in a danky dorm were washed over with new memories of living in a decent sized apartment that he shared with a roommate and driving a basic Honda Accord which was now parked in front of the hotel. 
“Don’t listen to the negativity, they’re just jealous of your young success.” I said and smiled slyly as I noticed the new car parked in front of the hotel’s door. “People hate anyone who is doing well on their path and being good looking.” I stated before twirling around to see Will frozen in his place. “Me? Good looking? I-” Will was cut off when he wasn’t sure what was happening as he couldn’t move his body yet he was able to feel his back straightening up, ending his terrible habit of bad posture. The bones in his face cracked and groaned as his nose became narrow, his lips plump up slightly, and his double chin vanished as a sharp jawline took its place with the addition of a five o’clock shadow. His hair follicles grew in where he was once balding to give him a new set of thick healthy hair. 
Tumblr media
I smirked as fear was evident in Will’s eyes and I approached him, patting his shoulder gently. “Yea, like I said, I’ve watched your streams before and I see all the ladies calling you hot and sexy.” I said with a wooing and suggestive tone and a soft moan left Will’s lips as his excess fat melted off of him while a lean physique developed, complemented with gentle muscles.
Will knew that he had many experiences where he was bullied for his weight and ridiculed for his early balding, but he wasn’t going to complain about these new upgrades. He wasn’t sure how this was happening or where Rafi was leading this to, but he was glad that he would be able to see his feet just by looking down. Sure he looked like a lithe twink, but it was better than what it used to be. 
“So what brings you to Ra’s Palace?” I asked as I was walking up the stairs, bringing Will back from his dissociation as he quickly followed me up the stairs. “I was wondering if you would like to sponsor my content, I think it would do wonders for both of us.” Will explained as he held onto his now too big shorts as he made his way up the stairs.
“Aren’t you tired of only being known for gaming? You’re 29 with over 1.5 million followers. Sure, I know the cash is flowing in, but don’t you want more?” I asked as I opened the door to my office and held it for Will after I stepped in. “Please have a seat.” I offered as I signaled to the chair in front of his desk before sitting down in mine. 
Tumblr media
With each step he took into the office, the commands slowly settled in. Every step a bit closer to 29, more popular, more charismatic, more handsome. He looked around at the office and saw how it was decorated in an Arabian style with horseshoe arched windows, calligraphy woven in with geometric patterns along the walls and ceilings and a grand rectangular rug that looked like it would fly with the right command. By the time I told him to sit down, he had years of experience as a male model after receiving an offer from somebody in the modeling world who’d come across one of his streams. He sat down on the wooden chair and his wandering eyes met the powerful gaze of mine before Will cleared his throat. “Ah yes…” He started off with his matured voice. “I was hoping for a sponsorship from you.”
I gave a genuine smile and nodded. “I would love to sponsor you, I can see that you’re a hard worker, combining modeling with streaming. Keeping that toned muscle has got to take time in the gym.” Will pulled at the collar of his shirt as his shirt felt oddly tight as his body heated up, letting out a nervous chuckle. “No, not much really. Maybe once or twice a week.” 
“That’s no sir.” I commanded and instantly Will’s body posture straightened, sitting at attention. “You spend a tremendous amount of time at the gym, isn’t that right?”
“Yes s-sir.” Will corrected himself, but felt odd doing so due to the friendly mannerism that I was giving off, but it was only correct manners, right?
“In fact, you spend so much time there that you practically live there. Day in, night out. You don’t have any time to stream anymore. Just modeling and flexing.” 
Will felt his muscles tense, his throat dry, and sweat rolled down from his brows. “Uh..actually-” 
“Hush, you mustn't speak now.” I spoke with a finger against my lips as they curved into a smirk as I could see the panic in Will’s eyes from not being able to move his mouth. I moved to the office door and closed it as well as turned off the fan, letting the outdoor heat settle into the room. I sat back down in his chair and took off my shoes, placing my feet on top of the desk and letting the musk fester in the dry heat. “You went to university for computer science, however you had an interest in the wellness of your body.”   Will was sitting in anticipation as he was unsure about incoming changes; however, knowledge of advanced anatomy and physiology as well as proper exercise and nutrition entered his brain. Long days and nights of working out in the gym, hitting new PRs on weights and reps, and drawing in cash from modeling swarmed into Will’s head as he let out a groan. His lean body transformed into an athletic one as his skin tanned over. I watched Will’s shirt fill out as his back and shoulders broadened with amplified muscles that stayed defined. Will’s cock chubbed up in his pants as he remembered countless nights of flexing in the mirror whether at the gym or at home, jerking himself off to the sight of his body; each relief pushed his height to 6’5/1.98m.
Tumblr media
I noticed Will’s small erection and chuckled to himself. “No way a model of your stature has a pecker like that. No no, you have a cock that has people curious.” Will stifled a moan as his cock pushed against the fabric, hardening to 8”/20 cm with a wet patch appearing around it.  “You must draw so much attention as a Dutch model. You must miss your homeland, I understand that feeling of being a foreigner in the states. You take comfort in knowing that I understand you.” The lovely language of the Netherlands was added to his pulsing head and his neck thickened with his vocal chords to handle the rare language with its melodious yet raspy consonants. Will became skirmish as he felt new foreign skin growth cover the head of his cock as it grew to 9”/23cm. “Hoe gaat het met je?(How are you feeling?)” I asked smoothly and Will couldn’t believe that he was able to understand what he said. “Fenomenaal(Phenomenal…)” Will replied in an airy, gaspy voice. 
Tumblr media
“As you grew older to age 33, you got bored and expanded your life to being a fitness influencer and with this new expedition, you grew a heavyweight body.” Low grunts could be heard from Will’s throat with a look of discomfort on his face. Heat started in his feet as they slowly pushed themselves forward in his shoes while the feeling moved upwards, his legs began to expand in mass and muscle straining the jeans to the threads. Years of deadlifting heavy weights and intense bar squats transformed his once slim legs to thunderous trunks with a lovely addition to his ass as it plumped up, shifting himself up in the chair. The sound of his shoes and jeans’ strength being put to the test rippled through the room as the warmth moved up to his torso. Will knew that he should have been terrified of what he was experiencing but he couldn’t deny the pleasure he was also receiving; yet a cry of pain escaped him as his spine pushed upwards at a slow pace while the top half of his torso stretched outwards. 
Tumblr media
Will looked down at his chest as his pectorals gained mass at a rapid pace, turning them into juicy man tits with his nipples always noticeable through his shirts. He hunched over in the chair as he experienced what felt like a punch in the gut, a powerful 8 pack emerged and a light dusting of hair was spread throughout the torso. The intensity swarmed over his arms as his biceps and triceps grew to the size of footballs with permanent veins adorning them, the bones in his hands crackle and pop as they turn into giant thick mittens with callouses from gripping the chrome handles of dumbbells.
Tumblr media
I rubbed my beefy pectorals through my shirt as I watched Will transform in front of me with my leaking cock straining through my trousers. “With your fame and popularity rising to new heights, you bought a mansion, new luxury cars, and yachts for your private parties. You’re the life of the party.” I continued on, Will’s mouth stayed open with drool slowly leaking out with flashes of late night parties, drinking games, and high speed races on the highway blaze through his mind; his dark brown eyes steadily changed to icy blue ones.
Tumblr media
of them all.” Will Wes was in too much of a heavy daze to realise that I had given him a new name. With each different high-end real-estate property that raced in his overloaded mind, his feet thrusted forward until they propelled themselves out of the crumbling shoes, concluding its growth at 17”/67EU. His facial features matured with more prominent cheekbones and a slight dryness to the skin, but his new premium hygiene routine kept his face glamorous and unfazed.
“Wesley…you’re such a dominant man.” I teased in a playful tone as I continued to palm my own erection as I witnessed my first transformation coming to fruition. “When you walk into a room, everyone knows that you’re the one in charge…the alpha.” Wesley’s head moved to where his chin was naturally tilted up with his chest puffed out and shoulders drawn back. His calloused hands gripped the chair’s arms as his back and legs painfully stretched out until he reached the height of 7’2”/2.2m, now having to duck his head under every doorway he walked through. “And with how assertive and charming you are, you can take any bitch to bed with that god-like cock.” Wesley couldn’t contain himself as his throbbing cock reached to 14”/35cm; recollections of showing off houses to married couples, exchanging looks with the wives to then fucking them in the kitchen or dining room as the husbands were checking out the garage or basement. Wesley was at the verge of breaking with the intense heat, his leaking cock, the thick musk in the room, and my words…it was too much.
“Cum.” I gave the command and Wesley let out a loud roar as thick ropes of cum splattered over himself, the floor and my desk; his strained clothes finally tearing off and decorating the floor with its threads.
Tumblr media
Through the daze he was experiencing, he opened his eyes to see me smirking at him from his chair behind the desk before I strode around it and stood in front of him. I reached down and tilted Wesley’s head up by the chin, icy eyes locking in each other’s gaze. “You’ve expressed to me that you have nothing to look forward to in your life; it seemed like you were running in circles.” I started as I moved behind Wesley and I placed my hands on Wesley bulky pectorals, caressing and messaging them; Wesley let out rough moans. “I gave you a new life, a new beginning.” I added as I caressed my hands over Wesley’s gigantic biceps and kneaded them with his veins pulsing at my gentle touch. “I need a second in command for my expanding empire and it seems like you owe me a favor.” I said, ending the statement with a flirtatious tone.
Wesley was in complete bliss from the physical and mental transformations. Never in a million years would he think this was possible. Yet, here he was with a god-like body at a titan’s height, showcasing an impressive torso to turn heads and arms bigger than his head. As I was speaking to him and caressing his new assets, there was something new within him; something pulling him to me. In a dominating body that no one would say no to, the need to submit to the gorgeous man in front of him was overwhelming.
I sat on top of his desk with my erection, front and center of Wesley’s face. “Show me how much you want to be a part of my empire. Show me your dedication to me.” I demanded in my hypnotic voice and without hesitation, Wesley dropped from the chair to his knees in front of him, the floorboards creaking from the sudden weight. He began happily licking my length through my trousers before he fished out my leaking cock and lapped the tip. I shuddered with a moan as I swayed my head back and ran a hand through Wesley’s hair then pushed his head down onto my crotch, causing Wesley to gag from deepthroating his length but he took it like a champ. Wesley wrapped his arms around my waist as he bobbed his head over my bulky sausage, enveloping it with his saliva with sopping sounds resonating through the room. 
I led out a gasping moan as I shot my steamy load into Wesley’s quenching throat. Wesley held onto my ass as he swallowed the entire load; the heat spreading throughout his body as a wave of new power hit him. Wesley’s eyes gleamed and I smiled as I knew that my first creation was finished, pulling himself away from Wesley. I chuckled as he pulled my soaked jockstrap over my cock. “That was a great blowjob.” I complimented the man. “One last thing, as my real-estate investor and second in command, I need you to show me that you can handle your new position.” I stated with his arms crossed over his chest.
Wesley sat in silence as he took in everything that happened. Ever since he could remember, he was never able to get his way in anything; he was smart, sure. But when it came to dating, friends, sports, he fell short. Now that he ran into me, he was transformed into a beast of a man with an ability to get ahead and take advantage…and he wanted more.
"Rafi, take a moment to take in what a great job you did with me.” Wesley started as he slowly rose to his feet and looked down at his new boss. He smirked at him and striked a pose that showcased his massive biceps and exquisite torso. I nodded with a gentle smile and was filled with admiration from the work that I have done for it being my first time.
“These piercing blue eyes, huge gorgeous muscles and incredibly handsome face. Let alone my amazing voice.” He ran his giant calloused hands over his attractive face before running them through his hair; he flexed his muscles once again as he checked himself over with a cocky smile. 
Tumblr media
“So good to just take it all in. You want to take it all in...more than anything.” I felt himself drawn to the giant and his body moved on its own over to Wesley. My hands rested on Wesley’s strong pecs as I looked up at him, the weight of the height difference setting in as my eyes were frantically panicking. ‘Hold on..’ I thought to myself confused.
“You've made me irresistible...even to yourself.” I let out a soft gasp as my mind got foggy and my already slow turning gears in my brain eased into a pace slower than molasses. “Wait…what?” I struggled to ask through my lightheadedness. Wesley smirked and wrapped an arm around my waist as he flexed his arm, veins sculpting his muscles. “Yo-you’re irresistible..” I muttered back as I touched up on Wesley’s arms, tracing the veins delicately with my fingers. 
“You wanted it this way, with me being your partner...as close to an equal as possible.” Wesley continued on with his instructions. “My…partner..?” I slowly repeated and looked over at Wesley’s arm, instinctively reaching out and caressing them. “Close to equal..” I furrowed my brows as I tried to fight the words that Wesley was stating. I knew that I was looking for his first employee to be under my command, but there was a pressing thought in my mind that I was looking for a life-long partner. 
“You want me to have this power over you...to be under its sway...under my power.” I let out a light moan as I felt Wesley’s rough hands grope my tender ass; my thick cock erecting itself once more. “Under your power?” I knew that this was wrong, this was my family’s business; my empire. Yet, Wesley’s voice was alluring, his radiant eyes demanding control, and his bodybuilder physique…how could I possibly say no? My vision blurred as my eyes became cross-eyed and my mouth stayed ajar with drool dripping from the corner of my plump lips; my throbbing cock leaking into my straining jockstrap. “I want you to have power over me…” I repeated with my eyes glistening purple and Wesley felt a surge of confidence borderline on arrogance as the need to dominate the hunk doubled.

“It feels so incredible, listening to me, taking in all of me…” Wesley slipped his long thick finger into my ass, causing me to buck my hips with a gasp and press my ass into Wesley’s hand. “But you want more...” I looked over my shoulder and watched myself grind my ass on Wesley’s finger, the previous fear turning into an unwavering want. Wesley grabbed me by the chin and placed his forehead against mine, forcing eye contact and grinding his bulging member against my own. “I want more..” I moaned out and looked up at Wesley with longing eyes and pouting lips as Wesley slipped two more fingers into my hungry hole. 
“You want to please me, be as close to me as physically possible.” The heat between the two grew unbearable as new memories of lustful chemistry and multiple late nights in the office flipfucking forced themselves through our horny minds. “I want to please you…” I was able to mutter before our lips connected into a messy makeout session; my hand reached down to Wesley’s monster cock and stroked it rapidly while my other hand juggled his balls. Wesley moaned out in ecstasy as hefty pre-cum leaked into my hand, inevitably coating his cock. My hips rocked against his as a strong flood of need to submit, worship and please the adonis in front of me, my dominating nature withering away for him. 
“You’re the boss and I advise you…think for you.” Wesley panted into the kiss as he picked me up with his arms under my ass; I wrapped my legs around Wesley’s waist to stay close to him. “You just want to look at me, listen to me, touch me and follow me and my advice.” Wesley added and I felt my already dwindled intelligence dim to oblivion, leaving my piercing blue in a blank state. “You want to take me in, literally, as an equal...a partner." I nodded along, his commands swirling through my mind pulling me to follow them. “I want you to think for me..f-follow your advice.” I affirmed with a sultry voice, my eyes dilated as I looked up at him with want evident. I knew that I was in charge of the company and I was doing fine on my own, but now that I do my best to think about it, I wouldn’t be able to make deals and or get the business started on its international journey without Wesley. I wanted him to - no - needed him to think for me. 
“I want you…as my partner.” Wesley slammed me onto my desk and removed his fingers from Rafi, leaving my hole gaping. Without a thought, Wesley rammed his 15” beer can cock into me and I arched my back as my ass clenched around the penetrating member. With every thrust, a memory of our passionate friends with benefits growing into a deep love and devotion to one another pushed to the forefront of our minds. Cold rings formed around our ring fingers as I looked over to see a photo of me and Wesley having a honeymoon on the beach in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This was no longer an interview between an employer and candidate, but a casual afternoon sex session between lovers. 
The building made a loud creaking noise as an office for Wesley was made beside mine with a glass wall between them and a door connecting the two offices. The new office decorated itself with large furniture to hold the burly man, prestige awards dawning Wesley’s name and pictures of the real estates that he has invested in the past hung on the walls with keys to his Lamborghini on his desk.
I looked back up at my husband and watched a snug white button-down appear on his torso, hugging his chest and arms with a gold chain to compliment it. A jockstrap poofed onto his waist and was soon covered by a pair of grey trousers, his hard cock was pulled through the fly. We locked eyes once more as I moaned out, “I want this all to be true, ruling my empire with you.” And with that, Wesley filled my ass with his large load with some of it leaking out and I cum showered over Wesley, both moaning in harmony. 
Tumblr media
Wesley pulled out of me and stuffed his flaccid cock back into his trousers and helped me onto his feet. “How can I please you more?” I asked and looked up at the man while biting my lip. “First, I want free reign of a section of the empire. Second, snap out of my trance. You are my husband and we will act as such.” Wesley stated and I answered with a nod. “It will be done.” I nuzzled my head into Wesley’s pecs and enjoyed the comfort that it brought before I cleaned myself up and redressed myself. “Create a presentation on what you want to do with your section and present it to me when you’re ready…we will move on from there.” I asserted and placed a kiss on Wesley’s cheek. “Now get out of my office.” I commanded lowly with a playful smile and Wesley returned it with a smirk as he headed to his own office. “Sure thing boss. You go clean up.”

ngl my brain kinda goes crazy at the thought of mafia!abby. I don't know why but HER IN A SUIT lord have mercy.
put all my favorite tropes in a blender and I give you:
City Lights
Tumblr media
Part 2
a/n: not my best work but it is my horniest work, so riddle me that.
cw: Mafia! Abby, dbf! Abby 🤭, little age gap (reader in early 20s Abby is later 30s), feminine reader (specifically refers to reader as girl), sort of innocent reader, Abby walking in on reader using vibe 🤭, Abby referred to as Ms. Anderson or miss, reader gets roofied BUT is saved and nothing ensues, general mafia coded violence, make out session, (smut in part 2 I'm sorry my darlings)
Minors DNI (I will jump out at you through your screen i stg)
wc: 4.8k (woah)
———————————————————————
You watch as the sun falls from the city sky, lights slowly flickering on signaling the end of a day and the start of a long night. You can’t help but marvel at the sea of lights shimmering in front of you creating a sort of man made night sky, stars replaced by the warm glow of living room and bedroom lights from various apartments. You had lived in this penthouse for a while, but watching the city come alive at night would never get old. 
“Hey!” your friend, Dina, waves a hand in front of your face. She must have called you a few times before she finally got your attention. Your eyes reluctantly move from the glowing city to your friend looking down at you, a playful expression on her face. “Girl, you have to get out of your head for your own good.” She lends a hand to you, “Let’s go drink our problems away.” She smirks and you giggle before grabbing her hand and standing up.
“Alright, but you can’t leave me tonight. It's girls night.” She would almost always end up with someone by the end of the night, leaving you to make your way home alone at fucking 3 AM. It definitely helped that her dad wasn’t in the same line of work as yours, you couldn’t exactly hook up with just anyone. Apparently it was “dangerous” your dad was fucking paranoid, but it’s not like you could ignore him and rebel. He always found out somehow and you’d end up being whisked away by one of his bodyguards he hired to follow you around. It was a compromise that the guards were at a distance too, if it were up to you they wouldn’t be there at all. 
“I’m not leaving you tonight because you’re going to find someone to go home with.” She has a mischievous smile on her face, like she’s already planned your fate for the night. 
“Dina-” you start to say, but she interrupts, “Hush, forget about your dad for a few hours of your life, we’ll figure it out.” She smiles genuinely this time and steps back to dramatically look you up and down. “Listen, you look hot, I look hot, let’s go have fun and be hot together.” She wasn’t wrong, you were wearing one of your favorite black dresses. It perfectly accentuated your curves and flaunted just the right amount of cleavage. Dina always looked good, tonight she was wearing a little black dress as well and you two made quite the alluring pair. 
Dina handed you your clutch and led you out of the apartment and into the bustling city. A car is ready for you as soon as you walk out of the lobby– one of the perks of your paranoid father’s line of work. You and her climb in giggling and reflecting on past nights filled with loud music and colorful lights. 
The car slows and you and Dina exit onto the sidewalk. Your heels obnoxiously click against the pavement as you both make your way to the door, skipping the line. The bouncer immediately recognizes and encourages you in with a friendly nod. You glance up at the muscley man with a grateful smile and a wink before you enter with your friend in tow. 
You walk into an empty marble lobby, dimly lit with no furniture. The sound of both your and Dina’s Heels now echoing throughout the grand empty room. Straight ahead there is a small elevator and to the left of it are stairs. The stairs have little lights lining them, illuminating the way up. You and Dina look at eachother, “No way I’m taking those stairs in these heels.”
She giggles “I agree, I don't think I could make it the 15th floor.” You click the button to call the elevator and the doors immediately open. You and Dina walk into the poorly lit mirror covered box and you press the button for the top floor. Turns out she was wrong. It was more like 20 floors, you had scaled those stairs before, but all those times you were very drunk and going down not up. You adjust your hair and pick at your makeup as the elevator slowly ascends. A soft ding sounds and the door opens slowly revealing the bustling nightclub. 
The only lighting in the room was cool colored spotlights, the overwhelming sound of music causing the floor to vibrate under your feet. Most of the light flooded in through the windows that lined the walls. The city lights filtered in, illuminating the room. It almost felt like the club was somehow floating in the middle of the bustling urban area. The floor to ceiling windows made it feel much more spacious despite it being packed with writhing bodies. It was the reason this club was your favorite; it perfectly embraced its beautiful location at the top of a skyscraper. 
You both wander into the crowd hand in hand, making a beeline for the bar. You order two vodka shots each and two drinks, wanting to get the festivities of the night started as quickly as possible. The bartender quickly delivers your orders and you look at your friend nodding before downing a shot. Dina beats you to the second, but you quickly follow, giggling. Your face involuntarily scrunches up as the offensive flavor of pure vodka hits your tongue. She leans in close to your ear and says in a low, mischievous voice “Let’s go have some fun.” and at that you both disappear into the crowd. 
You’re not sure how much time has passed at this point. Apparently enough time for sweat to start to perspire on your skin, the warmth of bodies writhing together causing the temperature to rise throughout the night. A slight dizziness causes your vision to soften, the figures of people around you blurring together. Dancing had become easier and easier as your body relaxed from the alcohol flooding through your veins, the music leading your body movements. You had realized at some point you must have lost Dina, you pause your dancing and make your way to the booths. You spot her in between a man and women, clearly flirting with both of them, with her hands on each of their thighs, laughing comfortably with one another. It was clear she was going home with both of them tonight. Fucking impressive. And annoying.
It’s probably been years since you flirted with someone like that, at a certain point you gave up, letting other people approach you. It never ended in anything though. You envied Dina in her ability to execute that kind of thing. 
You walk up, hesitantly interrupting. She spots you and pauses her heavy petting on her new friends. “Oh shit, I forgot I don’t have to-” 
You hold up your hand and smile “Don’t worry about it, I’m having fun. Just text me later.” you wink and she smiles and nods. You walk over to the bar for your last drink of the night and to close your tab. You look around as you wait for your drink, scanning the VIP section for any familiar faces. Unsurprisingly you spot one of your father’s associates Ms. Anderson. She was here pretty regularly and maybe that’s why you were also here pretty regularly. There was an unspoken, forbidden attraction between you two. Stolen glances and tense conversations made it obvious it was mutual. It was also obvious that nothing could happen besides the occasional sexually charged staring contest, your father might murder her–in a more literal sense than most dads would murder their daughters' lovers. So you resorted to touching yourselves with each other’s names on the tip of your tongues, fingers teasing the ache that grew between your legs at the thought of the other. 
She was wearing her usual suit minus a tie. Her white shirt was mostly unbuttoned, giving her a more casual, careless look. She sat with her legs spread, arms carelessly strung along the back of the couch she was sitting in, a glass of neat whiskey in her large hand. A woman sat next to her–well practically on top of her– in a scantily clad outfit, Ms. Anderson hardly made an effort to look at her eyes. She was surrounded by multiple men, clearly negotiating something, barely paying attention to them. And yet despite her disinterest in their words you could sense the respect that was held towards the blonde woman. They didn’t care that she wasn’t intently listening, they were grateful to even be heard at all. You could tell they must be low in the ranks, especially considering Ms. Anderson’s bored expression as they spoke to her. She caught you staring at her and her bored expression turned into a devilish smirk, her eyes meeting with yours. You look away embarrassed and pray your drink comes sooner rather than later. After a few minutes the bartender sets it down in front of you, you grab your drink off the counter gulping the whole thing down in a few sips. You step into the mass of bodies dancing to the loud music and begin moving in sync with the warm figures. Soon your vision turns concerningly blurry, you immediately try to stumble towards the bar, your legs starting to fail you. You were unfortunately familiar with what was happening which only made you panic all the more, trying to fight through the tiredness that is taking over your body. In a last ditch attempt you lug your failing body towards Ms. Anderson, praying to a god you didn’t believe in that someone noticed. 
You hadn’t spotted Ms. Anderson earlier, but she noticed you. She had been watching you all night, specifically taking note of the way your body guards were distanced from you. She watched the bartender make your drink. Right as she watched him slip some sort of powder into it she left in the middle of her conversation. It didn’t matter at that point, all that mattered was getting to you before he did. She nodded at her bodyguards whispering in each of their ears what to do. One went with Abby to help you while the other went to grab the bartender. 
Abby bent down underneath you to support you under your shoulder and you felt dread fill your body as she grabbed you, not recognizing who it was. You manage to loll your head to the side and see her face, your panic subsides and you begin to give in to the drug. As your body grows heavier Abby picks you up in the air bridal style, initially she didn’t want to cause a scene, but now it would be impossible to get you out of here any other way. You feel her warmth radiate through her shirt and your head leans against her strong chest as your vision slowly fades to black. 
You startle awake, panicking as you realize you're sitting up in someone’s car. Adrenaline takes over as your breathing quickens and your heart rate picks up. You take in your surroundings, lights blur together as you look out the window, desperately trying to discern your location. When you look to your left your breathing immediately slows, remembering you were rescued by Ms. Anderson before you collapsed in the middle of the club. She looks over at you, slightly surprised by your wide panicked eyes being open, she expected you to sleep through the night given the amount of drugs that must be swirling around in your system. You were obviously quite the stubborn girl. 
You begin to say something before the blonde cuts you off, “I found your phone and texted Dina and your father already. Your Father thinks you're staying over at Dina’s and Dina knows you’re safe and with me.” She immediately reassures you, somehow knowing exactly why you shot awake in the midst of a drug induced haze. You nod and relax, letting her take control of your fate. “I’m taking you back to my place, you need someone to make sure you stay breathing through the night.” You watch as her bloodstained knuckles harshly grip the steering wheel. What you didn’t know is Abby had laid you in the car, leaving you with one of her bodyguards before tending to the bartender herself. She made quick work of him, swiftly cutting off limb after limb as she gathered information. Abby was surprised at how quickly her rage consumed her, not realizing how protective she was of you. She snickered at him as he screamed and begged for his life. All she could see as she disassembled the poor excuse for a man was your weak body crumpling to the floor in front of her. She found out he was taking out a sort of hit on you. Trying to hurt your father by hurting you, she learned the name of his boss and sent the information to your father to have it taken care of. Of course she didn’t mention it was you who he tried to kidnap and do who knows what with, she only mentioned it was one of the daughters of someone in the inner circle. 
He didn’t usually ask questions anyways, your father delighted in ridding this world of men who liked to hurt women. The things your father did were dark, but he never ever fucked with women, it was an unspoken rule in the Organization, one that Abby greatly appreciated and respected as well as you. You didn’t like what your father was involved in, but the thought that he had some sense of morals helped you sleep a little better at night. 
You allow your eyes to close once again as Ms. Anderson drives you to her apartment. You float in and out of consciousness as she picks you up out of the car and carries you inside. You can sense the changes in lighting from behind your eyelids, you use sounds to estimate where you might be. Soon keys jingle and a door is opened. Muffled voices surround you and you are handed over to someone else's arms. You feel your dress being gently peeled from your body and you whimper, barely fighting for your dignity. A soft feminine voice hushes you and upon realizing it was a woman you return to your half conscious state. You are placed down onto cold porcelain and you shiver before warm water runs over your body. It felt heavenly, the water massaging your skin warming you from the outside in. You finally fall completely unconscious feeling a sense of security washing over you as the water did. 
You blink open your eyes slowly, bright light penetrating your vision. You have to squint for a moment until your eyes adjust to your surroundings. You’re laying in an incredibly comfortable bed with soft white sheets and a puffy white comforter. Your dress has been replaced by an incredibly oversized matching set of pajamas. You tentatively lift up the hem of your pants and… yup this wasn't even your underwear. God how fucking humiliating. The room is large with tall ceilings and light gray walls. Bright morning light floods in from a giant window overlooking the city. A green couch faces a large TV suspended on the wall above a fireplace. To your left is a nightstand with a tall glass of water and ibuprofen. Upon seeing the glass of water you feel your tongue sticking to the inside of your mouth, your throat so dry you could barely swallow. You gulp down the water along with the pain meds greedily. Upon a second glance you realize the room has no personality, almost like a hotel room or a guest room. It didn’t seem like someplace one would sleep every night. You hear the doorknob being slowly twisted before the door opens revealing Ms. Anderson. She commanded so much space with her presence in her perfectly fitted and pressed suits complete with a tie and matching pocket square. Her hair was pulled back into a perfect, neat braid, little pieces of hair framing her face. Her strong arms and broad shoulders made her posture appear so confident she almost seemed unapproachable.  Upon seeing you awake she smiles “Morning.” She says as she makes her way towards you. 
“Morning.” Your voice was still heavy with sleep.
“How are you feeling?” She asks as she sits on the edge of the bed by your feet. 
“Pretty good all things considered.” You manage a dry laugh. 
“I would start scolding you about the proximity of your body guards, but I feel like I should let you wake up a little first.” She watches as you poorly attempt to rub the sleep out of your eyes, yawning a little as you do. 
“No, no you’re definitely right, learned my lesson.” You pause for a moment as you remember the question that was lurking in the back of your mind since you woke up. Should you even ask? 
“My clothes…” You start to say, not exactly sure how to approach this conversation.
“Oh yeah,” Ms. Anderson blushes a bit “One of my maids, Clara, she was the one who changed you and stuff, I-I didn’t um-” Jesus Christ you managed to fluster this 30 something year old woman, reducing her to an incoherent mumbling mess. “Your dress is over there.” She points to the nightstand. “I would have had it washed, but I wasn’t sure if there was a special way you liked it done or something. Wouldn’t want to ruin it since it looked so good on you.” She smirks and now you’re the one blushing. 
“Th-thank you, I appreciate not having to sleep in that.” You look at her through your lashes, a flirtatious smirk pulling at your lips. You and Abby get lost in one of your staring contests gazing at each other as a silence falls over the both of you. 
Abby is the one to snap out of it, “Oh-uh I should get going I’m going to be late. I arranged a ride home for you. My driver is waiting at the front.” She gets up fiddling with her shirt cuffs as she starts walking out of the room. “And if you want to talk about what happened with someone, just let me know. I’m a good listener.” She smiles for a moment before it falls into a frown. “I wish I didn’t have to leave. I feel like a dick, but I swear I have an important meeting, I-”
“It’s ok,” You smile, cutting her off before she continues apologizing. “I have Dina to talk to. Go to your meeting, don't be late because of me.” 
“Ok I’ll see you soon.” She smiles and stares at you for just a moment too long before leaving the bedroom, closing the door behind her. Holy shit what a night. 
As soon as you get home you have a debrief with Dina over the phone, ranting to her about the whole thing. It starts out lighthearted as you and your best friend over-analyze every one of Ms. Andersons’ actions, feeding into your crush on her. Dina makes sure to throw in an occasional “She’s literally in love with you” and “You have to make a move on her or something she wants you”. You laugh her off, but you secretly enjoy her feeding into your delusions. The discussion inevitably turns into a bit of a therapy session. You can’t stop the tears slipping from your eyes as you realize that a simple night out can so easily turn deadly for you. Being a normal woman in her 20s able to party and go out to clubs was so far out of your grasp. You almost died last night and it wasn’t even that rattling, you constantly end up as a damsel in distress despite your best efforts. You knew how to fight well, knew how to use a gun and knives, and yet it was never enough. 
Dina tells you about her night in excruciating detail, but you liked to live vicariously through her. Her descriptions of her experiences made you feel a little more informed and a little less like an innocent virgin. She never made you feel lesser than her for your lack of experience though, she rarely even talked about your lack of experience. She was a good friend like that: smart, but didn’t make you feel dumb, beautiful without making you feel like shit, she always made sure you knew you were her equal. 
For the rest of the day you allow yourself to mope in your room and recover from the toll the previous night took on your body and mind. You daydream about Ms. Anderson and her strong arms, imagining how she could use them to pin you down as she did whatever she wanted to you. You wonder if she might use her tie to restrain you as she fucked you dumb with her strap, or teasing you with a vibrator until you were begging her to let you come, completely at her mercy. 
Unbeknownst to you Abby had come to your apartment to check on you. When you didn’t answer the door she assumed you were asleep and used the spare she asked for from your bodyguard last night. She had debated bringing you back to your own place, but couldn’t resist the opportunity to have you sleep in her bed. She felt gross using that situation as an excuse to be able to smell you on her sheets, but she was getting desperate. She was looking forward to coming home all day and fucking herself with her fingers whilst pressing her nose to the sheets. Ultimately she decided to visit you first, not being able to resist an excuse to see you. 
She walks in and immediately notes the homey feeling that resonates throughout the large apartment. Colorful rugs, warm lighting and plants immediately make her feel at ease. It felt like you, it made sense. She envied the ability to capture personality through decorations. 
Abby makes her way to what she assumes in your bedroom. As she gets closer she hears you whimpering, she peeks through the crack in the door worried you were having a nightmare or were in pain, but oh she was so delightfully wrong. She saw the beautiful sight of you squirming under your sheets, the soft buzz of a vibrator humming through the dark room. Your eyes were closed, head tilted back as you pressed the vibrator to your clit. Abby couldn’t look away, it felt so incredibly wrong and dirty but she could not bring herself to walk away. She watched as you spread your legs further apart, begging for more. Your whimpers morph into quiet moans as you turn up the setting and Abby is starting to feel an unbearable ache grow between her legs at the sight. You let out a quiet, whiney “Oh fuck” and Abby almost cums in her pants. You turn up the setting even further and Abby can’t help but wonder how much you could take, imagining overstimulating you to the point of tears. She absent mindedly allows her hand to cup her cunt as she continues observing you. Suddenly she hears you whimper Ms. Anderson please, and she is immediately grounded. She rushes out of the apartment, quietly closing the door behind her. She gets home and locks herself in her room, stuffing her fingers into her dripping cunt and cumming over and over to the memory of your sweet voice calling her name. 
The next time you see Ms. Anderson, you weren’t expecting her. You were at a dinner with all the men from the inner circle and their daughters. Abby was the only woman and didn’t have children, so naturally you had assumed she wouldn’t be there. But here she sat, listening intently as one of the men told a story about some deal gone wrong. She was across from you, and she was just so captivating to look at. Her usual suit was swapped for a white button down, dark gray vest and black tie. Her muscular arms strained against the fabric, making you practically drool. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows perfectly displaying her forearms. You let your eyes follow the veins from under her sleeves to her hands, trying to memorize the way her hands looked as they rested on the table. She hadn’t caught you staring yet, so you decided to be bold, sliding your foot under her pant leg. She didn’t move. You start to move it up, higher, higher, until Abby subtly shakes you off. You accept the rejection, feeling slightly embarrassed until she moves her foot to touch yours. She slowly slides it up and down your bare leg, still refusing to stray her attention away from her current conversation. You shake her off and kick her lightly under the table before getting up and heading to the restroom. She finally averts her gaze to look at you as you get up. 
As you walk to the bathroom you silently hope she understood your invitation. To be honest you really didn’t know exactly what you were asking for, all you knew is the tension between you has grown to an almost unbearable point and you were tired of waiting and yearning. You walk into the ladies room, purposefully not locking the door behind you. You face the mirror and begin to fix your makeup, fixing any smeared mascara or eyeliner. You lightly wet your hair trying to tame any fly-aways. Just as you begin to give up waiting the door opens. You turn around, back to the sink, and face the door. It could have been anyone, but thank fuck it was her. She has a slightly frustrated expression on her face as she looks at you. She closes the door behind her, locks it and turns to face you. She leaves mere inches between you two despite the ample space in the bathroom. She looks down at you for a moment, her size was even more staggering when you were this close. You feel a sort of powerlessness, but it wasn’t a negative feeling, it was thrilling. Ms. Anderson gently grips your chin between her thumb and index finger and forces you to look up at her. 
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing princess?” She asks in a low, hushed tone. You can’t answer, all you can manage to do is look up at her as a smirk appears on her face. “You really have no idea how tempting you are with your little dresses and this little innocent girl act.” She inches closer to you, her lips centimeters from yours. “I’m not even sure it’s an act.” She laughs, “and on top of it all I’m not allowed to have you,” She uses her other hand to caress the side of your thigh and you let out a small gasp at the feeling on her hand touching your bare skin. “To be honest that just makes me want you more.” She uses her grip on your thigh to lift your leg up, hooking it around her waist. Your back is pressed into the sink, hands gripping the edge of the porcelain, her body pressed against yours. She still hasn’t moved any closer, her lips barely grazing yours. You can feel every breath and word she utters from her lips on yours. Neither of you dare move, scared to shatter the moment that each of you have been craving for so long. 
“Ms. Anderson?” you breathe out, the words fanning onto her soft lips. Abby sighs at the sound of her name coming from your mouth. 
“Fuck it.” She kisses you. Perfectly. 
It’s not too soft, not too hard, it was just what you needed. She was so soft and warm, you couldn’t help but melt into her strong body. You whimper softly and she deepens the kiss, her tongue teasing your mouth open. Her grip on your thigh tightens a bit at each little sound you make. Her hand moves from your chin to your jaw, her grip is so, so gentle, like she’s scared to break you. You move one of your hands from the sink and press it against her chest, trying to keep yourself steady. 
Abby is the first one to break away, even though it’s the last thing she wants to do. “W-we can’t do this here.” 
You look at her, desperation taking over every fiber of your being “Please Miss, I can’t-”
Abby sighs “Just wait until the end of dinner, go home- I won't be far behind you- and I'll meet you there. Sound good?” You nod eagerly “Words princess.”
“Yes, sounds really good.” Abby smiles and peels herself away from you. She smoothes out her clothes before heading for the door.
“See you soon, princess.” She says before slipping out the door and heading back to dinner like nothing happened.

“Well, this is it,” Benjamin proclaimed proudly. You looked at the house before you. It was a large, two story home with freshly painted white walls and matching white picket fence surrounding the yard. A chimney was built on both sides of the house, and a giant porch hugged the front as well as the second floor. A barn sat further down the path that led to your new home, and a simple wooden fence stretched even further.
“It’s beautiful, Benji,” you started, “but how much land did you purchase?”
Benjamin rubbed his neck sheepishly. “About one thousand acres.”
Your breath caught in your throat. “One thousand acres? Benji!”
“Hear me out, Scout,” he pleaded. “The cattle we raise will bring in even more money. We can establish a legacy here!”
“We already had a legacy,” you muttered, and Benjamin fixed you with soft, pleading eyes. You sighed. “You don’t even know the first thing about raising cattle.”
He perked up. “Oh, Maverick said he’d teach me all I need to know. Even made suggestions on who to hire as ranch hands when the time comes. He’s the one that convinced me to seek out my fortunes.”
“Was he now?” You murmured, already plotting what you were going to say to the town’s founder when you met him.
“I know what you’re thinking,” said Benjamin, and you glanced up at him. “But this will be good for us, Scout. We’ll be a part of history and expanding our country. Making it better.”
You hummed, and he continued with a sigh. “The truth is, Scout, my firm isn’t making as much money as I had hoped out here. Ranching will help bolster our income until I can become more established in these parts.”
You sighed, knowing there wasn’t much you could say in argument. Instead, you turned back to look at the house, shadows growing darker as the sun finally disappeared below the horizon. “Let’s go then. I’m eager to see the new house.”
Benjamin practically skipped up to the house, holding the door open for you as you stepped inside. It was much grander than you were expecting. Wooden floors gave way to a grand staircase that turned into the next floor. You made your way through one of the archways and found yourself in the parlor. Your family’s furniture already decorated the room, and you brushed your fingers gently over the top of the grand piano in the corner. Continuing, you found yourself standing in a large kitchen, one of the fireplaces taking up a large portion of the far wall.
“If you’re hungry, I think Natasha left some stew for us,” Benjamin, striding over to where a pot hung above the small fire. You raised an eyebrow, barely containing your smirk.
“Does Natasha cook for you often?”
You saw a bashful expression creep its way onto your brother’s face as he straightened up to look at you with a small pout. “I don’t see how that’s any of your business.”
You chuckled and waved a hand dismissively. “I’m only teasing, Benji. But, no. I’m not hungry at the moment. I’d much rather get some rest after my long day of travel.”
Benjamin nodded and led you up the stairs. He stopped in front of the second door on the right, opening it and gesturing for you to step inside. Doing so, you saw your familiar pieces of furniture that you had shipped off weeks ago. Your hand mirror sat on your vanity, and your wardrobe door was opened to reveal your more practical, every day use dresses. You walked further into the room and up to the window. Peering out, you could faintly make out the barn and rolling desert in the sprawling darkness. If you looked harder, you could faintly see the outline of the distant mountains. Turning back to face your brother, you offered a smile.
“It’s lovely, Benji. Thank you.”
Benjamin returned your smile and gestured down the hall. “My room is two down if you need me for anything.”
“I’m sure I’ll be fine for the evening. Go on,” you waved him off. “You need your sleep just as much as I do.
“Before I forget, Maverick has invited us to dinner with him and his wife, Penny, the night after next,” he said. You nodded, letting him know that you had heard.With one last smile, Benjamin closed the door behind him.
Tumblr media
“Benji, have you gone shopping for supplies at all, or do you send poor Natasha out to do your tasks?” you clucked impatiently, finding nothing but a stale loaf of bread in the pantry. You had managed to collect the eggs from the chicken coop earlier that morning, and that was all that made up you and your brother’s meager breakfast.
“I haven’t the time, Scout,” he mumbled, already gathering his things for the day. “Besides, you know I’m not much of a cook.”
“How you’ve survived this long, I’ll never understand,” you said with a roll of your eyes. Benjamin looked at you with a twinkle in his.
“Eye rolling is not becoming of a proper young lady,” he snickered. Scowling you made to whip him with the towel you held in your hand, but he dodged it at the last second.
“Go, before you’re late,” you hollered as he rushed out the door. Sighing, you made a mental note to teach him at least some of the basics in the upcoming days. Turning, you marched back into the pantry and looked at the empty shelves disdainfully with hand on your hips.
“Honestly,” you muttered, exasperated at how incompetent your brother seemed at doing the most basic of things. You made a list of supplies you would need in the upcoming days, and walked out to take another look at the house. As much as your brother could fumble on the small things, he did have an eye for home decor. There were very few pieces of furniture you wanted to move around across the whole house, and you made another mental note to let Benjamin know that evening when he returned.
Walking out the front door with a basket in hand for your supplies, your eyes were drawn to a small patch of the front yard that had been fenced off. How you hadn’t noticed it the night before was beyond you, and you chose to chalk it up to fatigue from your journey. You walked over and saw several gardening tools scattered along the ground, and you realized this must have been the garden Benjamin had mentioned yesterday to you in his excitement.You added seeds to your list of supplies for the day.
You turned away from the garden and made sure to latch the gate to your front yard securely before strolling down the path into town.
Today was much like yesterday had been. People walking up and down the streets, shouting at one another in greeting, and children still running about. You wondered why they weren’t in school at this time of day. You resolved yourself to asking Maverick about it the next evening at dinner. Turning down on to the main street, you stepped onto the porch of the general store. Across the street at the saloon, you saw a group of men gathered by the entrance. One of them turned and saw you, and you suppressed an eye roll when he let out a long whistle.
“Hey there, darlin’!” he called out to you. He was handsome, you’d give him that. His dark skin glowed in the sunlight and you could make out his white smile from across the road. Strong muscles were hidden by his simple, white cotton shirt and beige wool pants. A hat covered his short, dark hair. Choosing to ignore the stranger, and by extension his four companions who had turned to look your way, you walked into the general store. the owner greeted you as you stepped into the spacious room that housed a multitude of goods from different places.
“Howdy, miss!” He chirped, leaning against the counter with a smile. He was older, dark skin weathered. “Haven’t seen you ‘round these parts before. The name’s Hondo.”
You returned his smile warmly. “A pleasure, Hondo. My name is y/n. My brother is Benjamin, perhaps you know him? He runs the firm just down the road.”
“Ah, yes!” He chuckled. “The lawyer from Baltimore. Well, miss, you’re in luck! I’ve just gotten back from Independence with new goods and I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until my partner, Joel, arrives back in town. Should be any day now, in fact.”
“I see, and what is that you have today?” You inquired, taking in the multitudes of crates still scattered around the counter.
“Let’s see,” Hondo thought. “I got some salt and some fine new tools from St.Louis. I also managed to trade for some fresh produce down by Independence.”
“That sounds lovely,” you smiled as Hondo began showing you his wears.
You spent about a half hour picking out the best produce Hondo had to offer, making plans to return when his partner made it back into town.
“Hondo, I don’t suppose you have anything in the way of cooking wine?” You asked, placing your new wears into your basket. Hondo grimaced with a shake of his head.
“'Fraid not, miss.” He sighed, looking out past his door towards the tavern. “But Miss Penny should have somethin’ for you to use.”
“Maverick’s wife?” You asked, unable to keep the surprise out of your voice. Hondo nodded, a look if worry on his face.
“Penny runs the saloon here in town. Normally, I wouldn’t even suggest you go ‘round that place without someone accompanyin’ you, but everyone here knows not to mess with Miss Penny. You should be safe while she’s there.”
You handed Hondo the money you owed him, and gave him a grateful smile. “I’m sure I’ll be perfectly fine.”
“Just be careful who you talk to when you’re over there, ya hear?” He called after you as you moved to leave. “A lot of real unsavory types like to prey on pretty, little things like you!”
“I will!” You called over your shoulder. You looked across the street to see the group of men from earlier had migrated down the porch over to, you assumed, their horses. Making sure they were safely distracted, you hurried your way across the road. Trotting up the steps, you made it to the door just as the group turned around to see you. Before they could say anything, however, you marched confidently into the saloon.
You weren’t sure what you had been expecting, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as you had thought, considering Hondo’s warning. The interior looked a tad run down, but you supposed it had been in business for a while. It was clear that it was a beauty back in its debut. A piano was shoved against the far wall and several tables were scattered across the room with a few patrons nursing different liquids. A woman came out of a back room and spotted you. She was one of the most beautiful women you had ever seen. Dark hair framed a slender face, and bright eyes looked at you with a maternal warmth you hadn’t seen in quite a while.
“Hey there, sweetheart!” She called to you. “What is it that I can getcha?”
“Hi,” you smiled, walking closer to the counter where she leaned. You could feel the stares from the other patrons on your back, and you couldn’t help but stiffen.
“Don’t you worry, darlin’,” she started, casting a stern look across the room. “No one here’ll mess with you while I’m here. Name’s Penny.”
You held out your hand when you were close enough to the bar to reach her. “I’m y/n. It’s a pleasure.”
“You must be Benjamin’s sister. You two look so much alike, I don’t know how I didn’t see it sooner,” she laughed, the lines on her face crinkling. You couldn’t help but wonder if you would look as beautiful as she did when you were her age. She took your hand and gave it a tight squeeze.
“We get that quite a bit, actually,” you chuckled, dropping your hand back down to your side.
Penny’s smile grew wider. “So, how can I help you today?”
“I’m looking for some cooking wine. Hondo mentioned you might be able to help me find some.”
“Cooking wine, huh?” She chewed her lip thoughtfully. After a moment, she nodded, turning to head back into the back room. “Yeah, I think I just got some new bottles in, actually.”
You waited while she disappeared through the door. You heard the group of men outside on the porch, and it sounded like they had moved back towards the entrance. You let out a heavy sigh, realizing that you wouldn’t be able to avoid them forever. You took a closer look at the saloon. A set of stairs led up to a second floor that must double as an inn of sorts. Your brother had told you that's where he stayed while your home was being built.
“The townsfolk here are all kind as saints here, Scout,” he had written to you in one of his many letters. He hadn’t been wrong, well, save for one person. You frowned at the memory of the tall blond and his debonair smile. The outlaw probably wooed many girls with those good looks and charming words. You would not be fooled.
At that moment, Penny appeared back around the corner with two bottles of wine and another warm smile. You took the bottles from her gratefully, and slipped them into your basket.
“How much do I owe you?” You asked, but Penny shook her head.
“No charge,” she said. “Call it a ‘welcome to town’ gift.”
“Thank you,” you responded. You heard the group outside laugh, and you couldn't stop the slight frown from etching itself onto your face. Penny noticed, and offered a sympathetic smile.
“Those boys may be loud and rowdy,” she began, “but they’re harmless. I promise. Just walk out of here with your head held high, and if they start to give you trouble, you call for me. I’ll knock their heads together.”
You nodded your head. You made your way back to the swinging doors, but stopped just shy. You willed your nerves to settle, and straightening your shoulders, you marched as confidently as you could out of the saloon.
The men were all gathered around the steps, and their conversation stopped when you stepped out. You could see them all more clearly now, and to your dismay, they were all unfairly handsome.
“Hey there again, darlin’,” grinned the man from before. He leaned in closer to you with a glint in his eye. “Name’s Javy. What’s yours?”
“Coyote, you asshole,” snapped the man to his left. “Tell her our names, too!”
Javy—Coyote—rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath that you didn’t catch.
“These here are my compadres—Bradley, Bob, Mickey, and Reuben,” he said, gesturing to each man as he said their name. He turned back to you with a smirk. “Now what about yours?”
At that moment, the saloon doors swung open, and a familiar blond strolled out with a hard set look on his face. His eyes darted from the group of men before you down to yours, and his grumpy expression melted into a lascivious smirk.
“Did you get it?” Asked the man off to your right—Bradley. Jake spared him a glance before returning his eyes to you.
“‘Course I did, Rooster,” he replied, walking closer to you. You gripped your basket harder and fixed him with a glare. “Fancy seeing you here, Scout.”
Rooster? You realized now that the Dagger Gang is who stood before you, and you suddenly found yourself feeling weary.
“Mr. Seresin,” you replied curtly, turning his smirk into a full blown grin.
“C’mon now, Scout. I thought we decided you’d call me Jake?”
“I don’t recall that being how the conversation went,” you sniffed. Javy cleared his throat from where he stood from behind you. You both looked over to find him and the rest of the squad grinning. Well, Bradley was smirking. The others were grinning.
“Is this the little spitfire you were goin’ on and and on about last night, Hangman?” Bradley—Rooster—asked, humor evident in his voice. You glanced over at Jake who had a dusting of pink spreading across his cheeks. Ignoring his friends, he looked back at you, some of his bravado returning.
“Ignore my friends,” he said, smile returning. “They don't know when to shut up.”
You hummed, “I could say the same thing about you.”
You heard a couple of snickers from behind you, and Jake cast a glare over your shoulder. Looking back at you, he continued, “Now, sugar. That wasn’t very nice. I’ve been plenty nice to you.”
You let out a noise of derision. “You and I must have very different definitions of the word ‘nice,’ Mr. Seresin.”
“If you let me,” he smirked, leaning closer so that his breath fanned over your face. Your eyes widened and your heart stopped for a brief moment at his proximity. “I could show you all the ways I can be nice.”
You didn’t respond for a moment, lost in the emeralds of his eyes. Blinking, you murmured, “Not a chance.”
You turned to the group behind you, offering them a tight lipped smile. “It was a pleasure to meet you all.”
“I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of you in the near future, sweetheart,” grinned Javy.
“Yes, well,” you smiled politely, “let’s hope not.”
You pushed past them and began making your way down the road. A hand gripped your elbow, spinning you back around so that you crashed into a solid chest of muscle. Looking up, stunned, you were once again in close proximity of Jake Seresin.
“Let me give you a ride home,” he offered, gesturing back at Whiskey. You shook your head, placing a hand on his chest to try and put some kind of barrier between the two of you. Jake took your hand in his, squeezing it tight.
“That's not necessary,” you breathed. “I live just down the road.”
“Then let me walk you,” he pushed.
“Down the street?” You snorted. Jake grinned, stroking the back of your hand with his thumb.
“A lot could happen between now and when you get home.”
“Goodbye, Jake,” you said with a pointed look, pulling away from him. You tried not to frown at how cold you felt without his presence next to you. You turned to walk away.
“I’ll wear you down one day, sugar! You’ll be in love with me before you know it,” He called after you. You stopped in your tracks, whirling around to fix him with your iciest glare.
“I am not something to be conquered,” you hissed. Jake stared at you for a long minute, a different kind of smile crept onto his face. If you didn’t know any better, you’d have said this one was almost…affectionate.
“I don’t expect you to be,” he said finally, giving you a two finger salute. “I’ll be seeing you soon, Scout.”

LOVEFOOL k. jungwoo
coworker!jungwoo x fem!reader - bet au
romance never being kim jungwoo's biggest concern, he finds himself in a messy situation when he accepts his best friend's bet involving you.
prologue - masterlist
Tumblr media
If there was one thing that was certainly not on Kim Jungwoo’s mind, it’d be girls. It’s not like he didn’t attract them – if anything, it was quite the opposite – the issue with Jungwoo always boiled down towards one sentiment: boredom. It felt hard to settle down because a daily routine simply didn’t satisfy him.
Being labeled a player bothered the male a pinch. Honest to God, he wasn’t a saint, but it’s not like he was evil either. Not the type to break a girl’s heart, he simply avoided anything romantic. That’s why it came as a shock to his best friend, Kim Doyoung, when Jungwoo announced he was in love one fateful evening.
 “Well, I guess not love, per se. But she’s super fun to mess with.” Nevermind. Doyoung rolled his eyes at his younger friend, not surprised that his annoyingly childish tendencies remained unchanged. “Leave her alone then, Woo.” With the way Jungwoo shook his head, you’d imagine he had just been framed for a crime. “You don’t get it, she’s the new hire so she’s like… super clueless. It’s so cute.” Seemingly imagining the scene of you stumbling while trying to make three iced coffees at once, he let out a dreamy sigh which was interrupted by a harsh shove on the back from Jeong Jaehyun, who creeped up behind the couch Jungwoo sat on, jumping over the furniture and laying against his friend. “Is she pretty?” A blush scattered on the younger male’s face as he grinned cheekily, two of his bunny teeth peaking alongside his (fake) shy smile.
Within seconds, your instagram account was found on his phone, and the proud high five both shared did nothing but cause Doyoung to scoff, the only one sensible enough to feel suspicious about the current situation. In his twenty six years of living, Jungwoo had never shown one ounce of commitment towards a relationship, and by the underwhelmingly lackluster number that indicated your follower count, as well as the only two awkward photos you decided to share of yourself holding up a peace sign, it was clear that you were an easy target for the cunning man he called his best friend. Doyoung supposed he had two evil friends though, not only one, as Jaehyun announced a challenge. 
“Bet you can’t get her to date you in two weeks.” “I totally could.” The smug grin that laid on Jungwoo’s face was smacked off by the eldest, who finally had enough and stood up. “You guys are in your late twenties pulling stunts like this?” Doyoung cried out, genuinely in shock. It was only when he began to pull on his own hair out of stress that Jungwoo stood up, curling his arms around him and shaking his head. “It’s a joke, Doio, calm down. Now let’s go eat.” 
Things would’ve gone fine. They would’ve gone perfectly like normal, if it weren’t for the sneaky wink Jungwoo sent Jaehyun as he led their best friend out of the apartment door.

personal shopping (d.b.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
masterlist
pairing: dieter bravo x personal shopper! reader
desc: your newest client, dieter bravo, braves the outside world to flirt with you at the farmer’s market. though it defeats the point of hiring a personal shopper, you’ll let him, ‘cuz he’s cute. you’ll play hard to get though. (and mention that javi gutierrez is your favourite celeb client, just to make him jealous)
Tumblr media
“He said he needs someone to ‘deal with groceries and shit’ so he can ‘meditate on his art’, which is probably a euphemism for doing coke and wearing the same sweatpants for a week. Don’t tell him I said that.” Lia sighed.
She had introduced herself as Dieter’s personal assistant’s assistant, which you thought was slight overkill, but you weren’t in any position to judge. You had now joined her in Dieter’s league of many ‘personals’. He had a personal assistant, a personal chef, a personal trainer, and now you were his personal shopper.
She led you through his mansion in the hills, thrusting you into the nucleus of his ‘meditation’: a cavernous living room cluttered with empty liquor bottles and designer furniture covered in paint splatter.
“Lee-uhhhhhhh.” Dieter lay face down on the plush carpet, which you thought was quite an unconventional meditation position. “What time is it?”
You watched as he nuzzled his head into the crook of his elbow, trying to block out the rays of sun that shot through the windows. His soft, unruly curls caught the light, glowing warm in the sun as the nape of his neck prickled with sweat.
“10:30, Mr. Bravo.” Lia said, her voice artificially chipper.
“In the morning?” He grumbled, rolling onto his back.
You caught sight of his face, the skin dipping between his brow as he furrowed it, rubbing a hand across the stubble peppered across his jaw. Despite looking an absolute mess, he still looked cuter than he did in his shitty movies. You admired the curve of his nose and his disgruntled, sleepy profile as he kept his eyes closed against the sun. The tan skin of his bare torso was visible beneath an oversized teddy jacket, paired with sweatpants slung low on his hips.
“Was it really necessary to wake me up at this ungodly hour?“ He blinked sleep from his eyes, the irises dark and honeyed as they glimmered in the light.
He caught sight of you, a sudden glint sparking alight in his eyes. His mouth, set with displeasure only a moment ago, began to break out in a smile. He looked up at you, dishevelled and adoring. “Oh. Hello.”
“Hello, Mr. Bravo.” You smirked, watching him scramble to his feet amongst the clutter of crushed paint tubes. You held out your hand.
“Call me Dieter. All my friends call me Dieter.” He intercepted your hand, fingers lingering appreciatively. “We’re gonna be friends, aren’t we?”
You tried to stifle a laugh. As soon as he looked at you you knew he’d be a relentless flirt. It was cute, in a pathetic way.
“I think I’m gonna be your employee, Mr. Bravo.” You corrected, ever the professional. He was cute, but there was no harm in making him work for it a little. “I was just about to head to the market, so I wanted to ask if you have a budget, or any dietary restrictions-”
“Let Mr. Bravo get back to his painting, I can fill you in on the details-” Lia began.
“I can explain everything.” Dieter interrupted. “I’ll even come along.” He said, shoving off his jacket. You felt heat creep up your cheeks as you eyed the broad expanse of his back, the muscle beneath the skin pulling taut as he searched for a clean shirt, pulling it over his head.
“Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of hiring a personal shopper?”
“We’ll call it a trial run. Just so you know what I like. Or we could call it something else. ‘First date’ has a nice ring to it.” He grinned, slinging an arm around your shoulder, a sensation that felt nicer than you cared to admit.
“You come on strong, don’t you?” You mumbled through a derisive smile, feeling his ego expand as you allowed him to keep his arm around you.
“Always.”
Tumblr media
“Don’t you have some artistic meditation to do? Lia said you weren’t interested in ‘groceries and shit’.” You said, sidling through the stalls of the farmer’s market.
The cramped little lanes were filled with people, recognition flashing in their eyes as they caught sight of Dieter, who trailed after you.
“This is artistic meditation. I’m watching my new muse at work.” He said matter-of-factly, swinging your basket, which he had offered to carry for you, in his hand. His rings stood out starkly, flashing against the wicker handle.
You rolled your eyes, biting back a grin.
“Lia gave me a list of ingredients your personal chef needs, but do you have any other requests? Any ingredients for when your chef has an off day?”
“I don’t cook. When he has an off day, I just deliver.” Dieter adjusted his sunglasses, which you were starting to believe were less of a means to disguise himself from the prying eyes of the public and more because his hangover couldn’t bear the light. “Just buy me whatever, as long as it’s organic, cage free, GMO free, chemical free…” He said, taking a sip of water from his bottle.
You internally groaned. Though you were used to these buzzwords being haphazardly thrown about by your other clients without really knowing what they meant, you were hoping he’d be exempt.
“Water is a chemical compound.” You muttered, stopping in front of a produce stall, fruits and vegetables enticingly overflowing from the crates before you.
You could see his eyes widening behind the dark lenses of his shades from the corner of your eye as he spat the water back into its bottle.
“Water is a chemical?!” He spluttered.
You arched an eyebrow. “And I saw five KitKat wrappers on your carpet this morning.”
“We all make mistakes.” He chuckled, wicking away water from his mouth as he watched you reach for a lemon, its peel a vibrant yellow. “But that’s unimportant. Will you go out with me?”
A smile broke out across your face, unable to hide your amusement at his direct nature. You handed him the lemon, admiring the black ink of his tattoos etched across his skin as he extended his arm to place it in the basket.
“I don’t date men who can’t cook.”
“You’ll have to teach me then. It can be our second date.” He ran his hand through his hair, teeth flashing in a smile. His hair, already tousled, seemed to become even more unruly, and you resisted the urge to run your hand through it to help him fix it.
“Not part of my job description. I just help my clients buy what they need. Groceries, furniture, clothes… but I doubt you’re very interested in the last one.” You smirked, pointedly looking at his feet, clad in crocs and socks.
He looked down at the fashion offence he was adorned with, shrugging. “Fashion is a social construct. I’d wear a different pair of shoes if you’d go out with me, though.”
“I don’t go out with my clients.” You said, voice bubbling with laughter.
“But if you had to go out with any of your clients, it’d be me, right?”
“It’d probably be…” You wracked your mind, going through your list of clients to find a suitable candidate. “Javi Gutierrez.”
“That hack?”
“I don’t think he’s a hack!” You laughed, defensive. “He’s a good actor.”
“I’m a good actor.” He exclaimed, only to be met with your raised eyebrows and a shrug as you turned toward the next stall.
“Your silence speaks volumes.” He mumbled, faking a hurt tone as he followed close behind you.
“If you like him so much, some people say I look like Javi. We could always play pretend.” He smirked.
You put down the jar of honey you were examining, scanning Dieter up and down, as if trying to look for a resemblance.
“Hmm… don’t see it.” You sighed nonchalantly, refocusing your attention on the neatly stacked rows of jars before you.
“Since you think so highly of Javi, what do you think of me?” Dieter said, a crush of people moving through the lane forcing him close to you. You tried to keep your cool as you held his intense gaze, the cologne he spritzed on before he left the house deep and musky, the vivid scent clouding your senses. You swallowed thickly.
“I think you’re pretentious and hedonistic.”
“I have no idea what you mean.” He smiled, feigning innocence.
“Are you in denial, or do you just have a small vocabulary?”
“Can’t it be both?” He laughed. He looked around, making sure no one was watching, before dipping toward you, his lips barely ghosting the curve of your ear, his husky voice ringing in your head. “If you think using your big words to insult me will scare me off, you’re wrong. It just makes me more attracted to you.”
“Good.” You said, praying he wouldn’t feel the heat radiating off you, a blush blooming across your jaw. You ignored the playful smile on his face, keeping your hands busy as you aimlessly picked through produce. You bought a ripe apple, wiping it clean on your shirt.
Dieter’s eyes lingered on your lips as you took a bite, the crisp skin breaking beneath your teeth.
“So, you’ll go out with me?” He asked.
He held out his hand, and before you even registered what was happening, you had given him the apple, the red, glossy skin gleaming against his rough palm. He took a bite, the fruit’s flesh crunching as juice dribbled down his forearm, tracing the veins beneath his skin.
“Not happening.”

hi! since your requests are open, could I ask for some room hdc?? with characters of your choice 🧎‍♀️
please take care of yourself and take your time!!
Creepypastas room headcanons!
➥ Jeff the Killer, Homicidal Liu, Eyeless Jack, Ben Drowned, Clockwork and Hobo Heart
Oh hi and thank you!! Here you go sweetie! If you wanted someone more then feel free to uptade!! :33
Tumblr media
.•┈••✦ 🖤 ✦••┈•.
☆ Jeff the Killer
What a stinky men. Im sorry but his room is messy for sure and you can't convince me otherwise! Dirty clothes, empty cans, leftovers, stains..man, hire him a maid or something. Some dead plants and messy grafitties, stolen traffic signs and construction boards! Propably never in his life made bed, and his sheets aren't changed often.
Definitely has many band posters on his walls too! Maybe some vinyls too?? Mostly the black, red and grey colours can be seen. Hates the big light, so usually sits in dark or with small lamp. His drapes 24/7 covered. He is emo and plays loud music.
Smells like cigarettes and like room that hadn't been aired for long time.
☆ Homicidal Liu
Pretty, clean and organized room! The only 'messy' thing could be mugs he forgot to clean (same tho). Im sure he has gramophone and listen some of this old, silly, romantic songs! Also - a lot of plants, maybe even lego flowers? Couple of this aesthetic posters, some gobelins, small paintings. Photos with his friends, S/O! His bed is almost always well made. He have many books, and an easel (what an art hoe of him).
Mostly green, brown and beige colours. He loves natural light and candles, and if the weather is nice then his windows are open.
His room smells like cleaning detergents, soil and candles (usually the flower ones).
☆ Eyeless Jack
Soo..his room is not as clean, but its caused by his wild side. On his walls and furnitures are many straches from his hands (or even teeth!). Otherwise? You don't have to worry about surviving visiting his room, you have high chance to not caught anything! I would say his room is pretty dark, only becasue his walls are in gloomy colours - maybe not black, but gray, green or navy blue (all in dark shades).
Let's pretend that he actually was into medicine before all his tragic events..pls? Propably has some decorations, like skeleton, anatomy-related posters! Also likes to keep his blinds shut, he is pretty hypersensitive in terms to hearing, sight, smell. And maybe..he would have this small, funny fridge in his room, you know - to keep his..food..fresh!
About the smell..maybe a bit of blood? And something rotten? But its not that strong tho!
☆ Ben Drowned
Musty, dusty and rusty room, but we still love him! He would clean once in a while, and he do that very solid..but that doesn't last long - his room gets messy very easly. When he isnt gaming then he is sleeping..pretty productive, huh? Bed is never made, lots of junk food wrappers, empty (or not) cans..
LED lights 25/8! His room is pretty dark, propably never seen the sun. On his walls are posters from movies, anime and games. Has pretty professional gaming set when it comes to computer (I would describe it but i only know that computer need screen and keybord lol). High chance of having some psp gaming corner! Like bean bag pouffe, TV and stuff. Also! Collects figures like funko pops, anime figures, nendoroids. Ben have pretty nice Lego collection too!
His room smells like sweat and energy drinks.
☆ Clockwork
A bit messy, but in this aesthetic way - in other way, chaos under control! You know, some clothes at the floor or on chair..some dirty mugs..and her trash can is a bit too full..but as I said - everything looks pretty planed..! She has many blankets and plushies (she would never admit to that tho) on her bed.
In her room dominates mostly shades of dark green and white! Has many fun stuff in her room - rocks, animal skulls..sorry fellow animal lovers, promise they were found! But also a guitar! Full jewelry holder - and they are all well made! Thats why they are a bit too messy.. And she keeps many fake plants, she sucks at taking care of them. Clockwork has many string lights in various shapes!
Dunno, but I cant really assign smell of her room! Maybe something like dust and coffee?
☆ Hobo Heart
Ahh I miss this pretty boy to be honest! His room is clean, end of the sentence, thats it. I also think that he would have some pet in terrarium or aquarium - lizard, frog or just some fishes. Even if they are small, he treat them with proper respect and like the family members!
Has white walls with paintings and photos of his friends/SO, but most of the decorations are in shade of red. Also vinyls as decorations and posters of his favorite singers/bands (m sorry but he totally looks like somoene listening to Lana Del Ray vibes T^T) - all in this 'aesthetic way'! Simple light bed sheets, and when his bed is made (which is pretty often) he put pillows that have this silly shapes. Like to keep his room natural lightened and loves candles!
His room smells pretty like vanilia, but its not a strong scent.

Umbrella Academy Season 4 Review
Tumblr media
I cannot understate how bad this season was, not just from a character writing angle, but from a world building one as well. Am I biased because Five is my favorite character and he, arguably, had the biggest character assassination this season? Maybe. But I'd still like to go over my analysis of the final season of Umbrella Academy despite the fact that I'm going to pretend it didn't happen.
Things that don't make sense with the logic they've established
Little to no explanation of the “upgrades” or changes in everyone’s powers. Only some got an actual upgrade (Allison, Klaus, Five, Viktor, and Lila), but Ben’s tentacles just changed positions with no explanation (likely so he didn’t have to wear that greenscreen torso setup), and Luther and Diego just stayed the same.
○ Why does Allison’s upgrade involve super strength and/or telekinesis? I could maybe see it working on people (a silent command for them to do physically impossible things like float), but why does her power make the lights flicker and furniture move? ○ Why does Lila have laser vision as her upgrade? Her power is to copy powers, no one here has laser eyes. If it’s meant to be an upgrade, why is her upgrade laser eyes of all things? You could have made it so she can use multiple powers at once instead. Not to mention that the laser vision played next to no important role in the entire show besides one attack in the final fight that Viktor could have done instead. ○ Luther mentioned in an episode that he’s been having problems with his powers? What problems? That was never shown and never elaborated on. Also, everyone has already mentioned this, but Luther getting his power back wouldn’t give him the ape DNA.
The show claims that Allison also lost her powers last season despite her not getting her Marigold taken out of her. This could have been a programming thing with Reginald’s universal reset, but it isn’t really established so we’re left to guess (or at least I am).
Why did the CIA hire an 18 year old (at most) looking boy and accept that his name is a number? Did they not question that he’s a Hargreeves and any relations he may have to Reginald? This could be explained that the CIA looked the other way because Five’s boss was a member of the Keepers and possibly knew he had something to do with the timeline being screwed up, but this isn’t ever confirmed.
I liked that Lila’s family was alive, but how? Why? How did they reconnect? Did Lila replace their daughter? Are everyone else’s parents alive? If so, why didn’t they go look for them (especially Klaus, who went out of his way to find his birth mother last season)? Are the other October 1st children alive in this universe? If so, why didn’t they look for Sloane, even if she’d have no memory of her time as a Sparrow? This plot point just creates so many questions that go unanswered.
Number inconsistency with the timeline (Five is 63 instead of 64 years old, saying they spent 5 years instead of 6, etc). The beginning of the show said it was a 6 year time-skip, but the end of the season said it was only about 5 1/2 years, which is likely what led to these inconsistencies. It’s a small detail, but all it would take to fix is to just say it was a 5 year time-skip from the start.
Ben on a subway train last season was seemingly not explained despite subway trains being a very important plot device this season. I get that they probably had to change the story because of Netflix canceling the show, but still.
What’s with the Jennifer portrait in Sparrow Ben’s room in season 3 if he’s never met her before? It was probably just meant to be a reference, but now it retroactively doesn’t make sense.
Why does Claire know that Klaus is immortal? Even if he told her, why would she believe him? They live in a world where they never had powers, and I don’t think anyone told her they got the powers back, let alone every detail of how Klaus’ work.
Five used the ability to go back in time in short bursts way back in season 2, why does he never use that power again? (The answer is that it was too convenient and could fix any plot point, but still)
No paradox psychosis symptoms in the deli full of Fives (because it’s in the subway? Unclear and unexplained).
Diego said that Lila hates bracelets and traded one that Diego got her, but she kept the one Diego made in the 1963 asylum and wore it for the rest of the season. It even made it to season 3 where Diego had kept it for most of the time, then returned it to Lila at the end. It’s such an important symbol of their relationship, but they just had to throw in a random reason that Diego would discover the affair that doesn’t even make logical sense.
Very small thing, but Viktor said he was going to pull out Ben’s Marigold but then they switched it to pulling out his/Jennifer’s Durango.
Klaus doesn’t have his Hello/Goodbye or cult tattoos but they do all have the umbrella tattoos? That doesn’t make sense.
Seeing all the kids being happy in the new timeline was nice, but I do have to point out that they wouldn’t exist if their parents didn’t, or it’d be incredibly unlikely that they’d turn out exactly the same and end up being all together.
Seeing Grace happy at the end was also really sweet, but it didn’t make logical sense because the real Grace is from Dallas in the 60s. She’d be old and/or dead by then, and if they showed her, why not also show Ray, Missy, and Harlan?
Things I just don't like about it
Where’s Ray? It was sad that he was so easily written out and delegated to just a few lines.
Klaus getting whored out is so uncomfortable. Thank god they cut away before it got too graphic, but it was still so bad.
Klaus overall was underutilized and given the short end of the stick this season. How it usually works is Five and Lila are the A Team, they have all the pieces put together and are making real progress. Everyone else is the B Team, they’re trying their best to solve the plot but sometimes make unnecessary moves because they don’t know everything. And then there’s Klaus on the C Team doing god knows what (and I love him for it). However, even if it’s silly, it always impacts the story in some sort of helpful way.
○ In season 1 he gets kidnapped and sent to Vietnam on his own side quest. The plot relevance is that now he learns more about Hazel and Cha Cha and learns how the briefcases work. This is also a somber character moment that forces him to mature through a traumatic event. More positively, it’s where he meets the love of his life that, in turn, has ties to season 2. ○ In season 2 he fucks off for 3 years to start a cult. This allows him time to really practice with his powers and has development for Ben, as well as getting him connections and experiences that help them later on. ○ In season 3, while the rest of the cast are dealing with the Sparrows, he and Five go on a road trip to Pennsylvania. This fun jaunt leads to the incredibly important revelation that their mothers died before they were born, and the discovery of the Kugelblitz. He later goes on another road trip side plot with Reginald where he actually trains his powers, which allows him to survive the Kugelblitz and reveal Reginald’s actions to everyone in the Hotel Oblivion. ○ In season 4, Klaus… gets kidnapped by a gang he owes money to and gets spiritually and physically whored out to people. He manages to escape by himself, is almost immediately found by the gang again, gets buried alive and left to die over and over again (incredibly similar trauma to the mausoleum that isn’t addressed), and is rescued by Allison and Claire. He gains nothing from this except for more trauma. It’s not plot relevant, he doesn’t learn anything or gain any new skills from it, and he doesn’t even get the money he dug up. It’s mind boggling how many plot irrelevant things got squeezed into the final season when the runtime was cut in half. I’d argue that maybe it would all be worth it if they included the cut scene where Klaus goes to an AA meeting.
Not the fault of the show, probably, but the captions weren’t always accurate.
Lila and Five romance which is gross both in-universe and between actors. Not to mention how allonormative it is that Five “had to have a love story,” because the show was already a familial love story. I really don't believe Five and Lila would get together, but even if they did, they would both drop it the moment they got back to their family.
○ I believe that they would grow very close, especially when they’re the only people together. It’s like a diet apocalypse (I’ll get back to this point later), so it makes sense that they’d grow closer on top of the relationship they had based on their established similar backstories and traumas. ○ Five would NEVER give up on finding his family. It’s his main motivation, the very core of his character. Would he want to take a break after 6 ½ years on top of his 45 previous years being stuck? Absolutely, that’s entirely plausible, but he’d want to leave the second he found the journal. ○ Five loves his family, full stop. He’d NEVER hate Diego for his reaction to getting cheated on, and he’d never want to “fucking kill him.” Have we forgotten how a young Five tried to shake Diego’s corpse awake when he first got to the apocalypse? ○ On top of it all, he would never just abandon everyone like that and fuck off to another timeline, and especially not because he got dumped.
I wish the show focused more on how visiting the apocalypse and getting stuck on in the subway would dredge up old memories for Five. He had a whole PTSD attack in season 1 and freaked out hard. I know it’s been a few years for him, but seeing any kind of reaction besides mild concern would have been nice. Same with Klaus and getting buried alive. I didn’t even know that he was dying over and over until I watched the cut AA scene. Robert Sheehan has so much range and I wish they let him shine in that more serious moment on top of how well he does the comedic stuff.
I get that Random Fire Boy from the Phoenix Academy timeline was likely just another one of the October 1st kids, but why create a whole new guy for just that scene? Why not use one of the other established Umbrellas or Sparrows to shoot an attack that took 2 seconds of screen time?
The CGI was bad ngl. I thought it looked worse than usual last season, but this was. Not good.
The final fight with the big glob monster felt kind of disjointed and awkward, both with the pacing, visuals, and dialogue.
Incredibly sad that Ben (and Jennifer, but we didn’t get enough time to really bond with her) died so horrifically. He died scared and alone, never having fully connected with the Umbrellas who only ever saw him as a replacement for their own dead brother.
The fact that there wasn’t a dance sequence this season is really telling. Someone online proposed the idea that they should have danced as they waited to die, and I think that would have been great. The soundtrack did use another version of “I Think We’re Alone Now” for the final scene, but I think this part would have benefited more. Five and Lila would get to join in, and it’d be nice because they weren’t alone anymore. Even if they were going to die, they’d be together. It would have added more sweetness to a bittersweet ending.
The Diego fat jokes weren’t funny. Fatphobia isn’t funny. He also isn’t fat??? He’s really fucking muscular as shown by him going shirtless in the CIA fight (the Marvel dehydrate+flex method strikes again). Maybe he gained some weight since previous seasons but not to an unhealthy degree. He’s a suburban father of 3 who sits in a van all day to deliver packages, of course he’s not as active as he used to be when he was a crime fighting vigilante.
They also never name Diego and Lila’s third child despite them being so important to Lila and why she chooses her family over her affair. Grace as their first daughter is sweet (Diego was a mama’s boy to the end), then Coco is nice (Spanish name like Diego’s), and then there’s Coco’s unnamed twin. It would have been nice to give them a more traditionally Punjabi name to even it out, or show interesting character psychology for Lila if they were named after someone like The Handler or AJ.
No Pogo except in a flashback? The gang that held Klaus hostage were the Mothers of Agony, so I thought he would be there and maybe help Klaus escape. I guess if Reginald had his wife and never made the Umbrella Academy, he wouldn’t have done the experiments that made Pogo into what he is? That either adds to how awful Reginald is, or it’s just another plot hole.
That whole vomit scene. Bad and Not Funny.
Baby shark was funny at first but got old and cringe incredibly fast.
Things I DO like about it because I want to stay at least a little positive
(It’s not in the show but conceptually, with Allison’s new powers, she could tell someone to kill themselves and they just would which is a funny visual)
The family photo was cute, I love looking at everyone’s individual reactions.
The episode 4 flashback sequence was great.
○ Good casting for the young versions of characters. ○ I love that it showed how close Viktor and Ben were as kids. It’s always been a strong headcanon within the fandom but I don’t know if it’s ever been established on screen before (besides Ben’s sacrifice in season 2). ○ POGO!!!!! ○ Ben said fuck!!!!! ○ Holy SHIT very good reveal of Ben’s death. It was super shocking and unexpected, and the fact that it was a big mystery for so long and ended up being something so simple really added to the tragedy.
Allison throwing a plate at Reggie lmao.
Viktor standing up to Reginald!!! Let it out king!!! And I love that his outburst shows even more how close he and Ben used to be.
Diego and Luther’s dumbassery, I love them so much. The two halves of a whole idiot are BACK. They’re besties and I love it.
Diego learned Punjabi for Lila and her family!!!!! That’s so fucking sweet of him!!!!!!
The soundtrack, as always, was a banger.
Most of the fight scenes are great, either hilarious or incredibly violent or a mix of both.
Hargreeves being an abusive father but not a transphobic one lmao.
I still love the umbrella shapes at the beginning of every episode, and the final one being inverted was sick.
I wasn’t sure about Gene and Jean at first but I love them. Great casting choices, great performances, they felt very reminiscent of the weird and unique aesthetic of season 1 that I’ve been missing.
Diego calling Five “Cinco” was so cute. Too bad this horrible version of Five didn’t deserve it.
I do like how Viktor and Reginald were paired up together when they had the most strained relationship at the start of the show. It felt like a sign that Viktor was stronger now and had been able to recover enough to do so.
○ I understand where people are coming from that it feels too much like forgiving Reginald and absolving him of all his abuse. But also, this is the show that forgets about all the bad things a character has done between seasons, let alone between several. Viktor slashed open Allison’s throat? Water under the bridge. Luther locked Viktor in the same chamber that Reginald did and gave him a mental breakdown? Forgiven and forgotten. Allison’s sexual assault on Luther? To them it’s been 5–6 years so he’s had time to process it but still, never brought up again. I’m not excusing these writing choices, just establishing that it’s been a pattern. At the very least, this one felt like there was closure because Viktor actually got to stand up for himself and his siblings.
They finally wrapped up the plot thread of Five creating the commission, even if it was just delegated to a throwaway line. The fact that they addressed it at all was satisfying enough to me, especially in comparison to everything else.
It’s a blink-and-you’ll- miss-it moment, but Five protected Luther’s head from bullets when the van was getting shot at. So funny that he keeps trying to use his small body to protect the actual tank that is Luther.
○ It’s similar to the scene in season 2 where Five (prepubescent body) pushes Luther (bulletproof ape body) out of the way of falling bricks and gets crushed. Luther is canonically bulletproof (maybe not in the head?) and Five KNOWS this because he saw him get shot by a tank in 1963. ○ Thank god at least SOME part of his love for his family and protective instincts survived this season’s character assassination.
I like that the final scene of them all in a circle kind of mimics the ending of season 1 (even if I wish it was a dance sequence instead).
I liked that the ending showed other characters getting to have normal lives (The Swedes, Hazel and Agnes, Grace (even though that doesn’t make sense), The Handler, Dot and Herb, etc). If it had to end in a bitter way, I like that we got even this small comfort.
TLDR
Overall, while the season wasn’t entirely unbearable to watch, the small, momentary Pros are heavily outweighed by the Cons that either break the show’s logic, assassinate the characters, or are storytelling choices that leave longtime fans like myself dissatisfied.
3.65/10

Give me a Reason: Chapter 5 - "The Elliots"
N and Tessa made there way through the foyer, decorated with mahogany and antique furniture, the windows adored with velvet curtains and cleaned until you couldn't tell it was glass anymore.
There was a servant waiting for them, dressed to the nines. A clean shaven face, and short black hair with steel colored eyes. A pressed black vest over a white dress shirt and a black bow tie, N didn't know his name, he didn't know any of the servants names.
“Young Master Tessa, Master Louisa requests your presence in her study.” The servant said, monotone, with his hands behind his back.
“Of course she does… ‘ight N, see you at dinner.” She sighed and waved him off, leaving him in the foyer smiling warily at the servant, going up to his room alone it was.
There were two sets of spiral staircases the led upwards, and two hallways either side, one lead to an expansive library, full of every book, magazine and article you could imagine, the other a large dining hall, despite the table being made for twenty people, there were only ever five people sitting there at a time… usually less.
He started his way up the stairs passing hall after closed off hall of doors that lead to the different rooms of the manor, if he was being honest he didn’t know what was in most of them, they'd just moved. And he hadn't had time to actually explore his own home.
Not… that he wanted to, going from living in a modern, sleek, polished marble and right angles to this was a little bit of a culture shock. He didn't mind the rural setting; much preferred it to the foggy, polluted skyline he was used to. It was the manor itself that was… creepy.
If you would have him describe “haunted manor.” Then he'd describe the inside of this place down to the tan walls with wood accents and the ancient, well maintained hardwood underneath his feet. It wasn't just how old the place was either. Mr. And Mrs. Elliot had hired enough servents to keep the place spotless and looking like new.
It was just so big. So empty, so… oppressive.
And lonely…
He shook off those thoughts, it was fine, he'd just have to adjust to it, he was always good at going with anything, surely this would be no different.
“Don't be such a bitch J.”
“Then don't be such a pussy, V.”
Ah, that sounded like his sisters off in the next room over, bickering as per usual and probably about something small or nothing at all.
“I am not letting you anywhere near my room! Not my fault it has a window and your's doesn't, your's is bigger anyway!”
“But I'm the oldest, I deserve the window.”
“By eleven minutes! I want to see the garden, you have access to the library! Which you bitched and moaned about until you got, in case you don't remember.”
“You just want the window because it looks over the garden.”
“And? You just want the window because I enjoy looking over the garden and you have the inability to feel joy and must drag everyone else into the misery pit with you.”
“Give me your room.”
“No. Fuck you, suck my dick.”
N sighed, of all the things that had changed. That didn't, and he doubted it ever would. When he rounded the corner that's when he actually saw them, instead of listening to just their voices bickering.
V was the middle child out of the three, and she was the shortest too, if you call 5'10 short. She had short platinum blonde hair that was styled in a bob, a hairband keeping it in place perched on her head. Right now, she was in grey sweatpants and a black crop top, her arms crossed and amber eyes looking up and irate at her older sibling.
J was looking down at her, hand on her hip and long, similarly platinum hair going all the way down to her waist, she usually wore it up in a dual pair of pigtails or a ponytail, but that was absent for the moment. She wasn't in nearly the same casual clothes as V. With a short, black skirt, black, 4inch heels, and a grey business jacket over a white dress shirt. The sunglasses perched on her head were ever present, only leaving when she was sleeping. She had to have just come home if she was dressed like that.
“Hey guys.” He gave a smile towards the both of them, V gave a half-hearted smile and a wave at him, while J just rolled her eyes and scoffed, sticking her nose up at him.
“Ugh, whatever.” J walked off, heels clicking as she went down the hall towards her room, V let out a long suffering sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose before she looked N over.
“Good first day?” She asked, leaning against the wall and giving him a small smile, he relaxed a little bit, without J around, V tended to be in a better mood.
“Yeah! My teachers all seem nice! And I made a friend�� I think.” When he thought about Uzi, she seemed…quiet, but also not? He wasn't entirely sure if he would consider what they had a ‘freindship’ per say. He thought she was cool, and they'd talked a handful of times.
Which was… more then he had with most people honestly, most found him a little… much.
“You think? What's that supposed to mean,” She curled
“It was mostly me talking…” He admitted, rubbing the back of his head and grinning sheepishly. “But! She let me borrow a pencil! That I… forgot to give back… but still!”
“Sounds like you just met someone and they took pity on you.” V replied, a dry sarcastic tone to her voice that gave away that she was teasing… mostly.
“Hey!” He yelped, ears turning pink.
“What? Don't call it a friendship if it's clearly not. Did you guys talk… about anything?”
“Uh… Mrs. Sparks had like animal heads and stuff floating in jars, we talked about that and… she told me she has a pig baby in one of them.”
“Ew. Anything else?”
“I gave her some of my lunch! The cafeteria kinda… completely ruined her food and so I gave her the tuna sandwich.”
“How'd they ruin it? Actually, don't answer that it's public school food.” Still she pondered it for a moment before shrugging. “That's like, an acquaintance, but whatever.”
“It's… the same thing isn't it?”
“Nope. But I gotta get to work, clothes don't model themselves.” She gave him a breif wave before checking her phone and grumbling to herself, walking off and out of sight.
Her and J , being out of school and a bit older then him, had other things to do. J was still going to college, business school of course, V took a different route, said no to more school and put herself on display, literally… she modeled for a few designer brands, and was sometimes stopped on the streets for her picture.
N was the youngest out of the three, being 18 and still in high school, though his last year thankfully, he'd always done decently in school, forgotten homework assignments and disorganization notwithstanding.
He entered his room, the heavy, creaking wooden door snapping shut loudly behind him as he looked around his room.
It was… bland. The bed was huge with crimson blankets made out of the smoothest kind of cashmere silk imaginable, the sheets light pink and light enough to feel like nothing when slept in.
But the walls were bare, his desk clean and devoid of everything but his grey laptop and a cup of pencils. The floor having only a basic rug directly underneath and around the bed. He had two small windows either side it, looking over the front of the manor and the driveway.
The only real thing of note was a well loved golden retriever plush resting on the bed, faded and the fur pressed down from being hugged night after night, he smiled at it, hooking his backpack on the back of his chair.
“Big brother Nathan?”
A small, shy little voice called out to him from behind the door to the connected room and he smiled, kicking off his shoes and taking off his hoodie, showing the basic grey t-shirt underneath.
“It's me!” He called back, opening the door to his little sisters room. Cynthia, or Cyn and everyone affectionately called her. She was reading, though now she looked up at him with big, innocent eyes that matched the rest of the siblings, along with her hair, held in a similar style to Tessa’s; mostly because she was the one who always styled it.
Her legs were covered by the blankets of her bed, and she beamed, sharing her older brother's sunshine of a smile as she made grabby hands at him.
Cyn was 6, the last and true youngest of the siblings. She was sweet… if having a peculiar interest in superstition, and N couldn't ask for a better little sister.
“Welcome back! How was school? Did you meet anyone? Were they cool? Can I meet them?” She immediately asked four questions in quick succession, each one making his smile a little wider.
“Good. Yes, yes. Maybe. In that order.” He replied as he wrapped her in a gentle hug, her arms gripping loosely around his neck. She giggled when he blew a raspberry on her cheek.
“And what did you do today Cyn?”
“Tessa brought up some more books for me to read! And then I got lunch… I heard J screaming at someone!”
“Have you not been out of your room today?”
“Uh. No… haven't felt very well, Tessa was at work and Big Sisters Vanessa and Jessica were busy…” She seemed a little sad, but N was here to make sure that didn't last very long.
“You want to take a stroll around the garden before dinner. I can take you.” He asked gently, and Cyn’s eyes lit up and she beamed.
“Yes! Thank you!”
With that, N leaned down and reached under her bed;
And pulled out a neatly folded wheelchair.
