AFTERGLOW. â JJK BOYS + JEALOUSY
âtell me that youâre still mine, tell me that weâll be just fine, even when i've lost my mind Â
featuring. gojo, inumaki, nanami, okkotsu
content. a character study in jealousy, no content warnings, no smut in this version, fem reader
word count. 2.8k
SATORU GOJO Youâre attempting to finish getting ready for the evening and Satoru has taken his favorite activity: filing through every crevice of your room like heâd been hired as a private investigator. Even though he knows that you know that heâs nothing more than a nosy idiot, Satoru claims that itâs an important and intimate routine that he should know the ins and outs of your living space just as well as you know hisââYou know exactly where I keep my boxers, and I donât even think Iâve seen the inside of your closetâoh, hey, this is cute,â he grins, sticking out his impossibly long arm to shake a thin, lacy bodysuit on a hanger, âHow come youâve never shown me this, huh? Maybe you should wear this instead, it seems easier to takeâouch.â
He groans at the impact of your hairbrush against his shoulder, then swiftly proceeds to pout and whine about how mean you are to him when you return to ignoring him in favor of applying the final touches to your makeup. Your closet seems to be of little interest to him after that, as Satoru crosses the room to hover around you at your vanity instead. He leans in too closely, as if watching you apply bronzer was a novel sight to him. You flip your brush quickly, barely tapping at his nose and laughing at his scrunched reaction.
âYour reflexes arenât so sharp today,â you tease. Youâre prepared for a witty response, and when you glance, thereâs a familiar mischief shimmering in your boyfriendâs eyes; but, then his gaze ventures slightly past you, and all signs of playfulness drain from his face. Instead of getting revenge, or annoying you further, Satoru reaches over your body and into a shallow jewelry dish to pick up the bracelet heâd spotted. Itâs a dainty little thing, thin gold with a small heart in the middle glittering with shiny stones, that he threads along his fingers with scrutiny before standing up straight to dangle it in front his face for further inspection, âThis is new to me.â
Perhaps youâd spoken too soon, because only Satoru would spot that one piece of jewelry amongst the others swimming the tray. His eyes flutter between the bracelet and you, and you can practically hear the gears turning in his head, and the accusation he wonât say outloudâdid you buy yourself heart-shaped jewelry, or is there something else going on here?
You sigh and keep your expression and voice neutral, your attention seemingly still focused on the finishing touches of your makeup, âItâs new to you because I havenât worn it in years,â you tell him, âMy ex gave it to me.â
Thereâs a beat of silence, and you occupy yourself with your mascara, before Satoru speaks, âThat makes sense, it doesnât look all that promising. What is itâbarely gold plated?â he taunts, sweeping away his air of concern with one of mockery, standing up straight to twirl the bracelet around his index finger, âFigures your ex boy toy had no taste for the finer things in life. Youâre worth more than this, my darling.â
You shake your head with light laughter, patting in the remnants of your setting spray before standing. Satoru continues on, rambling about the poor construction of your commercially produced braceletâholds it between his index finger and thumb like itâll poison him if he exposes it to too much of his skin, and you canât help but smile as you reach for the lapel of his blazer to pull him down for a kiss. He has no words of objection to this, pulling you in by the waist for another and another and another, before you finally pull away, âCome, letâs go. I donât feel like getting lectured by Utahime for your tardiness again.â
Youâre too preoccupied for the rest of the evening to notice the item missing from your jewelry dish. What you do notice, two afternoons later, shortly after Satoru has left to pick up Nanami from the airport, is a blue velvet box with your name written in pretty, gold cursive along the topâand inside, a gold tennis bracelet, glittering with diamonds, with a necklace to match. You have no doubt theyâre legitimate, if not for the way the sparkle, then by the text that rings through on your phone after you question Satoru:
from: satoruwu đ«§đ©” â only the best for my baby <33
TOGE INUMAKI
Toge knows that the price of coffee has gotten way out of hand, but what bothers him more is the decreasing pace of said coffee getting made and the increase of crazy, caffeine addicted people who feel the need to be loud around him while heâs waiting for his drinks. You, however, seem to take pleasure in his suffering, as you always thank him and coo, saying he looks cute despite his grumbly demeanor, âYou always look like you fought a war for two cups of coffee, Toge.âÂ
He rolls his eyes as he steps into your apartment, not minding the sound of your giggling behind him. He sets the drinks on your island, and pulls out a stool to sit on. You round the marble, reaching him just as heâs pulled down his mask for a thank you kiss to his cheek. He wants to make you suffer for longer, but when you lean against him, he canât help but to return the hug and kiss your foreheadâyouâre welcome, always.
Still, he pokes at your head, waits until you dig your head out of his shoulder with curious eyes, before he points to the Keurig sitting in the corner of one the wall-mounted counters, and moves his hands to sign, âWhy keep that if you spend all my money on coffee?â
âRude. I offer to pay all the time,â you chide, poking at his collar bone and standing straight. You make your way back to the opposite side of the counter, and reach to a drawer to fetch a straw, before shrugging, âMy ex left it here when we broke up. I keep it for the aestheticâIâm not even sure if it works.â
A myriad of thoughts runs through Togeâs mindâmost importantly: had your ex left other things here, and how quickly could he get rid of them?
âBesides,â you break his murderous train of thought, âNone of the pods make good espresso. Couldnât even make my hot girl latte if it worked.â
âYour âhot girl latteâ is iced,â Toge signs.
Under normal circumstances, a comment like that would earn him a flick to the forehead, but you can tell that behind the sarcasm, Toge is actually upset. So, in lieu of teasing him, you walk back over to him; settling yourself behind his stool to give him a back hug. You lean your cheek against his shoulder and press a small kiss there, âYouâre cute.âÂ
Toge huffs, shaking his shoulders for dramatic effect. You laugh, leaning up to give him another kiss on the cheek. âYouâre cute and you have nothing to worry about. Itâs an old coffee machine.âÂ
He hums, taking another sip of his coffee before turning, barely bumping the top of your forehead, so you can see his raised eyebrow. You lean up to press a kiss to his lips, âYouâre cute, and you have nothing to worry about, and I love you.âÂ
He finally smiles again, content, and grants you another kiss to your forehead. With his mood back to normal, the two of you finish your coffee and carry on with your scheduled study session as normal (normal being Toge leaving you alone for all of twenty-seven minutes, before he starts taking videos of you with various outrages Snapchat filters on).
However, the following day when you return from your classes, thereâs four new items on your kitchen counter: a silver espresso machine, a reusable Starbucks cup (already filled with your usual drink), a neatly folded apron decorated with cartoon Shiba Inus, and a small card with Togeâs bubbly handwriting on it: âDonât worry, Iâll still pay for you $6 pink drinks, but if you wanted to thank me by making coffee in just the apron, then I wouldnât complain ;)â
KENTO NANAMI Kento is a rational man; he favors using logic to carry out decisive actions, rather than letting his emotions get the best of him. So, the rational part of him knows that itâs not a big deal that the lunch bag and bento-style tupperware you bring to work was a gift from your ex-girlfriend; but thereâs a small, ugly, green part of him overrun with jealousy and another bitter-tasting feeling he canât quite name.
Because itâs not that important. It makes sense that you keep using themâthe lunch bag is nice, leather, sleek, and insulated, and the tupperware is sturdy and functional. The whole system is sustainable, practical. It was a good present, one that objectively serves a good purpose whether or not it was given by an ex or not.
Maybe thatâs what he hates so much. That this person still has room in your life, even though you havenât spoken to them since youâve met him. Kento doesnât like that reminderâthat there are people out there who might be a good fit for you, a better one than him. Those ugly feelings aside, thereâs a sour taste in his mouth when he packs your lunch now; knowing that the food he cooked for the two of youâthe meal youâre both going to indulge inâsits in a container gifted to you by an ex-lover.
Irrational to the point of being unfocused, he doesnât realize how close the glass is to the edge of the counter, and when he turns to scoop more rice, he accidentally knocks it over with his elbow. It breaks into tiny pieces on the ground, the small portion of rice and chicken spilling onto the ground. The sound draws you out of your bedroom, mascara wand in hand and robe still on to call for him, âKento? Everything okay?â
âI⊠it was an accident,â he explains, setting the spoon down in favor of reaching for a napkin, dropping to his knee with a light sigh, âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to break it.â
Your laughter surprises him, prompts him to look up at you with broken glass shards pooled in his palm, âYou donât have to worry so much! It happens, we have a million more.â
Thereâs something about the way you donât seem to acknowledge it being special to you in any wayâKentoâs not even sure if you recognize what brokeâthat reassures him. Because it really was an accident, but Kento doesnât mind that he managed to break this particular plate.Â
When he shoos you back to getting dressed, he finishes picking up the broken glass shards. Thereâs a certain lightness to his actions now, petty as it may be, heâs happy. Spends extra time writing a note for you to see when you unpack your food before he retires to the bathroom to start getting ready himself.Â
Maybe he could do something about that lunchbox next. You donât seem to mind.
YUUTA OKKOTSU Thursdays are Yuutaâs favorite day of the week because on Thursdays, you two meet up at your spot, which is really just a set of twin benches in the west quad, but itâs your place and Yuuta loves it. You will have reserved a study room in your favorite library, and Yuuta will buy snacks for your study session before you both head to the library in an attempt to finish up your work for the week in order to keep your Friday evenings free.
Yuuta usually gets to the bench before you, a combination of the engineering building being a little bit closer, and his legs being a lot longer. He doesnât mind waiting for you, as itâs usually his first time seeing you in two days (your Tuesdays are too packed for anything other than a shared coffee break between lectures, and Wednesdays are his hell days), and spotting you through the crowd of dissipating students always brings a smile to his face.
You look cute today, an oversized sweater enveloping your frame that Yuuta can imagine you cozying into and nearly dozing off in your dreaded microbiology lecture. He laughs to himself at the mental image, just as you stop in front of him to ponder, âSomething funny?â
Yuuta shakes his head, leaning down to kiss your forehead with a proper greeting. âNothing,â he reassures you, reaching around to pull your backpack off of your shoulders, and slings it over one of his, âYou look cute. Did you mean to buy a sweater big enough to double as a blanket?â
âThe oversized look is in,â you scrunch your nose and roll your eyes, letting Yuuta take your hand in his despite his teasing, âI donât even think I bought this, honestly. It might be Todoâs? Or Togeâsâit might even be Makiâs at this point.â
Yuuta freezes. He feels the world stop and a million different emotions surge through him at once, but the most prevalent of them all is something ugly and green. He could deal with Toge, though he doubts heâs the culprit. While you two shared a penchant for oversized clothing, Toge was more often than not the thief, rather than the lender, and heâs pretty good at keeping his collection of stolen goods under lock and key. Maki was out of the question, too, because you shared a class with Nobara earlier today, and thereâs no way youâd have made it out of there wearing her girlfriendâs sweater.
So it probably was Todoâs. And Yuuta had said you looked cute. Though he wishes the ground would open up and swallow him whole, his moment of self-pity is waning, and overcast by something steely, something too-hot bubbling in his chest. The question of why you have it goes over his headâheâs not concerned with that, nor will he fault you for itâthe matter at hand is that youâre wearing it. And, sure, Yuuta thought you looked good in it before, but he could name sixteen other things youâd look better in at this very moment.
Youâve gone on to ramble about something that happened earlier, but Yuutaâs not listening. He drops your hand first, then both of your backpacks on the bench behind him, before tapping at your wrists. You donât seem to understand him, cocking your head to the side with a pensive expression, but Yuuta only taps at your wrists again with a simple command, âUp.â
It doesnât seem like you understand, but you follow anyway, and Yuuta is pulling the sweater up and off of your body before you can question him. He tosses it onto the bench with little care, then removes his white jacket and places it atop your backpacks. âWhat areââ you donât have time to finish before heâs pulled his own hoodie off his body, and slid it over your head.
Yuuta smooths out the fabric under his palms with a satisfied grin on his face. Much better.
âAw, Yuuta!â you bring a hand to tug at the strings of the hood, a wicked smile replacing your dazed blinking, âI didnât know you were so possessive.â
You tease him until heâs red up to his ears, embarrassed and borderline bashful, a complete 180 from the looming jealousy that took over him moments before as he shimmies on his jacket again and picks up your back backs. He huffs, as you tease him, circling an arm around his as you begin to walk to the student center. He doesnât know if he agrees with your declarations of him being a possessive boyfriend, but he does know that heâs your boyfriend, and your boyfriend only.
âSo, you think I look cute, still?â you question, picking up a pack of gummy worms. Yuuta lets out a breath of laughter, pressing another kiss to your forehead, âEven cuter than before.â
(Two days later, Todo can be found screaming wildly to Itadori when he comes across a familiar hoodie strewn across a random bench on campusâwho considers visiting the Student Health Clinic to make sure an eardrum wasnât rupturedâbecause, âBro, what the hell? I swear I fucking lost this thing!â)

No second chances
Content: Angst, NO HAPPY ENDING
Gist: You were engaged to Spencer Reid until he called it off when he met Maeve, 7 years later your on a serial killers hit list. When the past revisits you and the BAU is standing on your front door, they are shocked to see the life you have constructed for yourself.
It was another regular morning, the same routine you had accustomed yourself to three years ago.
Getting out of your shared bed with your husband who was already at work, you walked over to your sonâs room. Your precious Owen was lying in his bed waiting for you to come get him like you did every morning for the past three years.
âMy precious!â You exclaim picking Owen up and holding him in your arms as he giggled and hugged your neck.
You got yourself and Owen ready for the day, you had breakfast and now you were getting your tote bag and keys so you could head out the house to pick up some groceries you ordered when there was a loud knock on the front door, causing you to flinch. Turning your head to see Owen sitting on the sofa with his toy car you walk over to the door and open it.
You felt your body run cold, all the warmth your body held had disappeared in a matter of seconds. You had unconsciously stiffened at the sight in-front of you. There on your front porch stood JJ and Spencer. Spencer the man you had loved so dearly for years, the man who had caused you so much happiness yet destroyed your being in the end. Your ex fiancé.
He stared back⊠his features betraying him, his mouth slightly agape, his eyebrows raised and his eyes⊠they were sad. It felt like hours standing there, the noise around you muted as you both stood there facing each other 7 years later.
JJâs voice broke through the heavy silence. âY/N?â She says voice light and surprised. âJJ, Hi.â You can barely manage to breathe out. âCan we come in Y/N thereâs something important we need to speak about.â JJ says softly as she steals a glance at Spencerâs frozen figure. Before you can answer you feel small hands wrap around your calves, looking down to see Owen pressed and wrapped against your legs as he peers up at JJ and Spencer.
If you werenât looking at Owen you would have seen the way Spencer sucked in air and tensed at the sight of a toddler wrapped around you. âYes, come in.â You finally say looking back up and opening the door up further so they could walk in. As you turn to walk back inside you pick up Owen placing him on your hip and lead JJ and Spencer to your living room. âSo this is little OwenâŠâ JJ says smiling widely at the little boy in your arms who was too afraid to be out of your embrace. You laugh softly, remembering that when Spencer broke up with you JJ was the only one who kept in touch with you almost everyday after and until now. âOwen?â Spencer said in a low confused tone.
You looked up at him seeing his pained eyes. âMy son.â You said scanning his face for a reaction. Spencerâs face seemed to be drained of any color, he looked pale and sick. It made your stomach hurt.
JJ seemed to want to punch herself as the next question exited her mouth. âIs your husband home?â She said not daring to look at Spencer.
âNo heâs at work, is everything alright?â You ask concerned. âNo Y/N⊠your family is being targeted.â Spencer speaks up before JJ can. You furrow your eyebrows in confusion. âExcuse me what!?â You exclaim.
âY/N⊠your husband is a lawyer and in his last case he locked away a convicted serial killer right?â JJ asserts in a questioning way. You nod your head confirming. âWell this serial killer has an unknown apprentice whoâs been hurting people in order to find your familyâs location. We believe he is planning to murder your family tonight once your husband gets home based off his profile.â JJ says reaching for your hand to give you some sort of comfort.
You felt helpless, confused, and angry.
âW-What are you guys going to do then.â You say looking down and Owen and holding him closer to yourself. âWe are going to take you to the base and keep you there until we have found him, we will have decoys here in the house to act and look like your family so the killer can come in thinking it is you and your family at home.â JJ says confidently, believing their plan will work.
âOkay⊠okay, let me get some stuff.â You say getting up frantically and going into your bedroom to pack your necessities.
âYou knew she had a whole family?!â Spencer asks JJ in a low tone, brows furrowed, confused and slightly angry. âOf course I did, we stayed in touch after youâŠâ JJ trailed off looking at Spencer pityingly.
âYou didnât think of telling me?â Spencer says agitated. JJ furrows her brows in confusion âof course not, what business is it of yours Spence, you ended things. You have no right to know if her life is going good or not.â JJ says a little disappointed in Spencerâs self absorption.
You walk back into the room before Spencer can answer back. âIâm ready, but will James meet us at the base?â You ask concerned for your husbandâs safety. âIâve notified Rossi to pick him up, they should be at the base by the time we get there.â JJ assures you and leads you and Owen out into the black SUV.
Once the elevator doors open and you walk through the glass doors you see James talking to Morgan and tapping his foot on the ground like he does when heâs worried. âDaddy!â Owen exclaims loudly catching James attention and his face washes over with relief. âBaby.â James says bringing you into a hug and kisses your temple as he grabs Owen from your arms. Spencer feels like he had gotten stabbed in his gut at the scene before him, seeing you wrapped up in another manâs arms, seeing the product of your love for another man sitting in your husbands hands made him physically sick. He felt nauseous and angry, angry at himselfâŠAngry because the realization that he could have⊠shouldâve been in James position right now next to you and yet he isnât, and itâs his own fault.
âThank you for bringing them so quickly.â James says with a sigh of relief as he shakes JJâs hand and reaches out for Spencerâs however Spencer rejects his hand shake causing James to awkwardly put his hand back and then put it on your waist. Making Spencer wish he had shaken James hand so it wouldnât be sitting on your waist as it was right now.
Spencer can feel Morganâs disapproving gaze on him.
âAnything for a friend.â Morgan says as he ruffles Owenâs hair and then Y/Nâs which causes you to laugh, and is yet another stab in the gut to Spencer.
âFriend?â James asks looking between you and the FBI agents. You clear your throat and look at Morgan and JJ for help. âOh uh we used to hang out at a bar and we all became very close after we met Y/N.â JJ says rushed and trying to find a cover up for the real reason they knew you.
Covering up that you dated Spencer since you both were 22 after you met at a chess table in a park, howâd you got engaged at 25 but Spencer ended your engagement after he began talking to Maeve. He casted you aside and worshiped the floor Maeve walked on until she herself upped up and left him to go back to her ex and left Spencer alone and unhappy, realizing he had lost you for nothing.
This was supposed to be a short story but I just kept yapping, so Iâll probably make a part 2. If this is crappy Iâm so sorry this is my first post ever and my first writing ever. Hopefully it isnât such a disappointment.

All in your head || Young President!Coriolanus Snow x reader
A/n: love this request!
Warnings: r is implied to be young, manipulative, controlling Coryo, if thereâs anything else lmk
Wc: 564
Divider by @firefly-graphics
The grand hall was adorned with opulent decorations, an extravagant celebration befitting the fifth wedding anniversary of you and Coriolanus Snow. The air was filled with the scent of delicate flowers, and the soft murmur of the Capitol's elite mingled with the distant hum of the city beyond.
It was a spectacle of extravagance, but behind the façade of smiles and enchanting music, your marriage to Coriolanus was nothing more than a carefully constructed arrangement.
"This is ridiculous," you mutter to yourself, hands toying with your necklace as you hear a deep sigh beside you.
"Yeah well, you have no choice," he mumbled, adjusting his cuffs, preparing to step out onto the balcony for an interview broadcasted to all of Panem.
"Let's get this over and done with then," you huffed, smoothing down your dress with practiced grace before the doors opened, and you summoned a well-trained fake smile. Coriolanus, in keeping with the façade of a blissful marriage, rested his hand on your waist, his smile equally forced.
As the camera lights focused on the two of you, the citizens of the Capitol eagerly tuned in to the live interview. Caesar Flickerman, the charismatic host, beamed as he addressed the couple. âLadies and gentlemen of Panem, we are honored to have Mr. and Mrs. Snow with us tonight!â
Applause erupted as you and Coriolanus exchanged a glance, a look perceived by others as one of love, though the reality was starkly different.
"Y/n, it felt like only yesterday we saw you graduating from the Academy, and now here you are, as gorgeous and powerful as ever as First Lady," Caesar complimented, leaving you slightly off-kilter-a reminder of the day you learned of your impending marriage to Coriolanus.
"Time flies, doesn't it?" You gracefully replied with a polite smile as Caesar chuckled. "Five years of marital bliss, how does it feel?" He directed his question to both of you this time.
You and Coriolanus exchanged a fleeting glance, a practiced smile plastered on both of your faces. "It's been an incredible journey," you replied, your voice measured.
"We've grown together and learned a lot about each other."
Caesar leaned in with a glint in his eye. "Speaking of growth, the citizens of Panem are curiousâ are there any plans for a little Snow on the horizon? Perhaps an heir to the Snow legacy?"
The questions about children were not new, but the pressure had been mounting over the years. Your father, a powerful figure in Panem, had orchestrated this union to solidify his influence, disregarding any consideration for your personal desires or compatibility.
The marriage had left you with an ache in your heart, and the absence of genuine connection with Coriolanus was palpable. Behind closed doors, conversations between the two of you were few and far between.
tense silence filled the spacious chambers, with occasional glances that spoke volumes but went unaddressed. The thought of children had become a looming cloud, casting shadows over your fragile union.
A polite chuckle escaped Coriolanus's lips, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of discomfort. "Ah, well, we're enjoying our time together for now. The future is unpredictable, but we're taking things one step at a time."
As the interviews continued, the speculation about Coriolanus's fertility surfaced. The whispers in the Capitol's high-society gatherings grew louder, comparing the size of your family to the apparent lack of progeny from the Snow lineage. It became a matter of public curiosity, and the pressure to produce an heir was now a heavy burden on Coriolanus.
Lounging out on one of the day beds, sunglasses perched on your nose, and a book in hand, you felt a figure towering over you. Your eyes move from the words on your page to the figure.
"We need to talk," he declared, his voice firm, as he offers you your robe to which your gratefully take and slip it on your body. The air hung heavy with anticipation as you reluctantly nodded. "Alright." You follow Coriolanus to his study where he closes, and locks the door behind you.
Raising an eyebrow at his odd behaviour he sits down with a loud sigh. You silently sit at one of the seats in front of his desk. Coriolanus took a deep breath, his gaze intense.
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion, waiting for him to clarify. âHow do you propose we do that?â His eyes bore into yours as he spoke, his words carrying an unusual urgency. âLetâs have a child.â
The weight of his statement hung in the air, and you couldnât hide the surprise etched across your face. âWhat?â you stammered.
Coriolanusâs jaw tensed, his resolve unyielding. âI said, letâs have aââ âI heard you,â you interrupted with a snap, frustration bubbling to the surface. âBut you canât just decide that on a whim. Itâs not that simple.â
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. âI understand that, but the longer we wait, the more the rumors will grow. I canât bear the scrutiny any longer. We need to put an end to this speculation, for both our sakes.â
The cold reality of the situation hit youâthe marriage, the façade, and now the pressure to bear a child for the sake of appearances. You couldnât deny the logic in his words, but the emotional chasm between you and Coriolanus seemed insurmountable.
âI canât just bring a child into this world for the sake of quelling rumors,â you protested, your voice trembling with emotion. Coriolanus scoffed, âYou can, and you will.â His harsh comment made you gulp, your motherâs words ringing in the back of your mind. âObey your husband,â âDo what pleases him,â and so you did.
It didnât take long for you to get pregnant. On your sixth wedding anniversary, this time, you held your nearly one-year-old son in your lap, about to announce that you were expecting again.

đŒđȘMirror on the CeilingđȘđŒ
The house was impressive, despite still being under construction. Exactly why it was suggested as the venue for your second date was unclear, but you assumed it was just a power play - she was older, wealthy and probably trying to compensate for the age gap by flaunting a little. She needn't have, you'd been smitten from the first glance across the bar.
Entering a half-finished bedroom on the first floor, you couldn't help but notice something unusual - there was a giant mirror installed on the ceiling.
"Wait... is that so you can watch yourself in bed?" you smirked and pointed an accusing finger in her direction, feeling confident that this being the first stop on the tour was an extremely unsubtle way of flirting.
"Its so YOU can watch yourself in bed." came the winking reply, along with a playful one-finger bop on the nose on that seemed to emphasize her seniority over you, "I guess you could call this a "playroom" of sorts. Maybe you'd like to be my little boy-toy, hmmm?"
You couldn't believe it - the walls were unpainted, the floor was unfinished and the en suite bathroom lacked any hint of where the toilet would go - but there was already a mirror on the ceiling. Sure, it was a little weird, but at least you knew she wasn't uptight about sex.
All the same, with no furniture or carpet in the house, the night ended with nothing more than a peck on the cheek. Days become weeks, weeks became months, the relationship was getting serious, but somehow the house was nearly finished without you having gotten past second base.
"Don't worry, baby, you'll be seeing a lot of yourself in that mirror once the furniture gets delivered." was enough to keep you going. It became a little game between the two of you - so much so that you didn't think twice about being "forbidden" from entering the house during the final weeks of construction.
When the day of the house warming party eventually came, you were so excited that the mythic playroom was finally within reach.
"There's my little darling!" seemed like an unusual greeting to receive as you met your new love at the front door, but you didn't really think much of it. Nor did you think much about the glass of red wine you were handed being so bitter, despite otherwise tasting exactly like plain grape juice - you never really drank wine anyhow, so you marked it down to inexperience. A little alcohol always helped you mingle at parties, so you drank greedily as you stepped into the foyer.
The house was full of people you didn't know, but you recognized a couple you'd been on a few double dates with over in the living room. They were in a small group looking through a pile of something, but you couldn't get a good look at exactly what. Whatever it was, it seemed to be getting an odd mixture of reactions that ranged from "Aww, so adorable!" to "Uh oh!" - almost all of them followed by an smattering of laughter from everyone.
You assumed they must be going through material samples for something in the house that wasn't finished yet, it certainly looked like cloth of some sort, but it was too far away to be sure.
"Come over here, there's somebody special you need to meet!" she said, grabbing your hand and leading you into the kitchen.
"Heeey! There he is!" came an unexpectedly warm greeting from a man you'd never seen before. He was the "silver fox" type, and in many ways he reminded you of your new girlfriend. You assumed he must be her brother and did your best to act casual, despite a sudden feeling of light headedness.
"You know, honey, I wasn't so sure about this at first - but you were right, this house already feels more like a home with our little guy in it. He really is adorable..." the man reached out and gently stroked your face. You tried to recoil from his hand, but your reaction time was so delayed that he'd already finished before you could move a muscle. Everything felt strange and your brain was swimming in confused thoughts.
The man gently removed the nearly empty wine glass from your hand and put on an exaggerated look on concern. "Uh-oh, who gave the baby glass? C'mon tiger, give that to papa, its not safe for a munchkin like you. Let's get that into a baba - then you can make the rest of your nummy grape juice go all-gone for Mommy and Daddy, okay?"
You tried to ask what was going on, but the words just wouldn't come out - whatever was in that wine was working fast. Your eyes darted over to your "girlfriend" who seemed to be glowing with joy over the situation in front of her.
"You see, I told you that you'd be a natural at this, sweetheart. He isn't even settled into the nursery yet and you're already acting like an adoring father" she said, giving the man a peck on the cheek.
"Just remember, I'm only changing the wet diapers." he smirked.
"We'll see about that..." she chided "but speaking of which, we really should get our lil' lamb into his Huggies - the guy I got this stuff from warned me that people tend to loose control once they're knocked out. It's a little sad that baby will miss out on his first dirty diaper, but I'm sure everyone will take plenty of pictures for him to see later - besides, there'll be a LOT more where that came from!"
You gathered up all your remaining strength to try and run, but you didn't get more than a few steps out of the kitchen before collapsing onto the carpet. Crawling on all fours, you could see the front door and tried to move towards it.
"Ooooh, look, he's crawling! Where're ya' goin' tiger? Is my rugrat exploring his new home?" the man called after you with a surprisingly genuine parental tone. "Okay, everyone, we're ready to start the baby shower!"
Guests from all over the house converged in the front room, blocking your path to the door. They didn't seem to pay much attention to your plight - a few took pictures, a few cooed and pinched your cheeks, but nobody seemed to share your confusion.
Shortly before losing consciousness, you felt yourself being rolled onto a soft pad on the floor and your pants being unbuckled. Somebody placed something in your mouth and you couldn't seem to spit it out - you felt something cold and damp against your skin, then something soft being pulled between your legs, then another, and another. The sound of tape and the crinkle of plastic seemed to be coming from miles away as you finally succumbed to sleep.
When you awoke, all you could see was yourself strapped down in a giant crib, wearing a thick diaper, plastic pants and a onesie. It took a moment for it all to sink in, but you eventually accepted that this was no dream. Just as promised - you'd be getting a lot of time in the playroom, you were nothing more than her little boy-toy, and you'd be spending countless hours watching yourself in the mirror on the ceiling.

And Many More. Toji Fushiguro
Cheers to many more years for you are forever growingâ perhaps a little too fast.
contains: lots of fluff. dad!toji. husband!toji. baby megumi. author's notes: credit for this pic goes to the owner. enjoy!
The screen is black at first, then grainy before a couple splatters of colour flicker across. Then comes light and the fusing in of faces, figures and smiles.
Itâs loud, and you can barely make out the voices behind the camera, but the few words that are recognizable are, âDonât run, you're gonna fall...â
The camera pans over to the indoor play gym, an overmassing tower of steel, soft foam and pvc. Itâs filled with kids of all ages and sizes, screaming their hearts out as they crawl, jump, slip and slide across the fortress.
The shot goes in and out of focus; you can hear the patter of fingers toying with the dials on the camera. It zooms out, the camera turning and a banner reading âHappy Birthday Megumiâ fills the screen. Below it, a table full of presents tower atop one another which would occasionally rattle at the impending sound of children rushing by.
Children and adults come in and out of the frame as the camera pans to a long table, decorated with a lengthy, white tablecloth and plastic cups, plates, cutlery and pizza boxes.
The camera veers around to the play gym, zooming in on the ball pit by the bottom of the two conjoining slides. Happy faces are all around, the joyous laughter of children and the rumble of balls clattering against each other.
Itâs not long before a mother appears by the ball pit, her hands propped on her hips as a discontented look washes over her face. She heaves, her chest retracting downwards, gathering her strength and exhales.
She climbs in, stumbling a bit and trudges through the pool of balls and children, maneuvering around and dodging spray balls ricocheting through the air.
Sheâs a couple meters away before stopping in front of a group of children. She waves, amuses their attention with animated expressions and gestures, and turns to the nearest child at her side.
She crouches down, beckoning the child to hip and tends to him with a kiss on the head and the motioning of her head. She jeers her head towards the group seating and stands, grabbing the childâs hand.
The mother and child in tow saunter through the ball pit as the camera zooms in and out. It follows the two just as they reach the edge of the pit, before the dishevelled silhouette of a stray ball comes flying overhead.
It whacks the cameraman on their head and the camera quickly falls to their feet, as the voice from behind groans and swears under their breath. âShit⊠that fucking hurt.â
Thereâs shuffling behind the camera when the cameraman comes to their senses, the twirling of dials and the screen turns black.
Light returns to the screen; the camera is pointed at a table. Behind it, the mother and the child, stand, waiting expectantly. They look on behind the camera, following a mass of cake as it enters the frame.
Itâs being carried by the father; a staunt expression painting his face. He places the cake on the table: itâs a large rectangle construction with blue and orange frosting, and black icing, and itâs accompanied by a few lit candles and the number â5â.
The father steps, positioning himself beside the mother and places a comforting hand on the young childâs shoulder as the mother ushers him to the center between.
The leisure center is quiet, except for the occasional cough and whisper. Thereâs some excited cheers and laughter which are quickly muted by a sharp hush or a mean retort which the camera picks up.
Reeling in, the camera focuses on the child perched between his parents. His eyes are wide with both shock and delight as he stares down at his cake, his mouth slightly agape. For a few moments, he peers up and takes in the expressions on his parentsâ face, their joy and pride evident. They beam down at him, heartening him with tender words and smiles before the mother lifts her head and motions to the surrounding crowd.
âHappy birthday to youâŠ.Happy birthday to youâŠâ
âHappy birthday to MegumiâŠ..â
âHappy birthday to youâŠâ
Megumi grins, his mouth reaching from ear to ear. He places his hands on the edge of the table with the beckoning of both his parents and guests, and leans forward, closing his eyes to blow out his candles.
He blows and his candles flicker but they stay strong in the wind.
He blows again, blowing out a few candles, yet the strongest amongst them survive. So he stops, closing his eyes once again and inhales deeply. He leans forward, lets out a heavy exhale and blows with all his might till his face turns red.
Through a long drag, his candles extinguish and in turn, Megumi changes. He sheds off his skin, shaking off his four year skin and sinks into his new skinâ five.
The camera lense is rattled with cheers, screams and blinded by bright flashes as the guests welcome in a five year old Megumi.
He smiles gleefully and in awe, and turns to his parents once again. They peer down at him with bright faces and congratulate him. His mother plants a kiss on his cheek and then to his chin and then to his nose and then his eyes and then to his forehead. Itâs evident sheâs proud, over the moon and a little bit sad, but she takes on her emotions with stride and a warm smile.
His father, an occasional comic, wipes his pointer finger across the edge of his cake, his fingertip doused in icing. He waits carefully, watching his son turn and grab onto his mother before launching his attack, smearing the icing across his sonâs cheek. It catches the boy off guard and his father quickly hides his hands behind his back when the boy turns, directing an accusing glare towards him.
Feigning expressions of shock and confusion, his father shakes his head profusely, refusing to accept his guilt. But when Megumi frowns, his father quickly gives in, admitting his guilt.
He crouches down, settling down to his sonâs height and turns his cheek to the side, tilting his head back slightly. He points to the cake and taps his cheek.
It doesnât take long for Megumi to put two and two together and quickly wipe his hand across his cake, and smear its remnants across his fatherâs open cheek, giggling.
Pretty soon, his mother joins in on the fun, smudging both father and son with icing across their faces before closing her eyes and submitting to their prickly fingers.
She shudders under their hold, fighting back a grimace and a chuckle as Megumi and his father blot icing across her face and somehow her shirt.
She opens her eyes, her gaze registering the sight of her husband and child before letting out a snigger.
Her laughter faded, as did the colours of faces, figures and smiles, as a picture fades. It features father, mother and child in arms together, stained in sugary delights but forever joyous with smiles as vivid as the sun. Their fondness, forever encapsulated in footage of Megumiâs fifth birthday.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction & does not represent in any way the reality of the member.
The grand dining hall was a symphony of opulence and elegance, its high vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate plasterwork and crystal chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. Rich tapestries hung from the walls, their deep hues of burgundy and gold complementing the polished mahogany of the round, small dining tables. As the guests settled into their seats, the gentle strains of a string quartet drifted through the air, mingling with the soft clinking of fine glasses and the murmur of animated conversation.
At one end of the table you were sitting at, the host, Park Seonghwa raised his glass in a toast, his voice resonant and filled with the gravitas of tradition. Across from him, Hongjoong's laughter rang out, light and melodious, adding a delicate counterpoint to the music. The aroma of roasted meats and rich sauces wafted from the platters being served, each dish a masterpiece of culinary art. Conversations flowed like the wine, moving from the latest societal gossip to philosophical musings, as the guests, dressed in their finest evening attire, engaged in a dance of words and wit.
In this setting, every detail was meticulously curated to create an atmosphere of refined luxury and cultural sophistication. Yet, beneath the surface of this carefully constructed elegance, the undercurrents of intrigue and hidden agendas were beginning to stir, promising that the evening's conviviality was only the prelude to a much deeper story.
You, a renowed and well known supermodel, were sitting right next to your husband, Jeong Yunho. He was the CEO of the agency you were modelling at.
The thing is... besides the lovey-dovey side you and Yunho always showed to the other guests and your friends, for example Seonghwa, Hongjoong and the others, the two of you had... another side to your relationship.
Your intimate relationship dynamic was quite.. the opposite of what you were showing. From light forehead kisses, hand holding and warm hugs and kisses... to cuffs, blindfolds and degradation. No one knew the real you when in private, and it made the whole thing way better.
*several minutes later*
"Ooookay, should I ask the chef to bring us some desserts? I think the dinner went really well!" Hongjoong said smiling, watching each of his guests contently. He then hovered his eyes over the whole venue, you could see the happiness flooding over him. It was the ending dinner for a really important business plan that came to a final success.
While the others were happily celebrating with the host, you and Yunho were giving each other some stares. One of the things you loved the most to do was to annoy your man. Why? Cause you knew he'd destroy you the same night. You were never allowed to do things on your own, without his permission. Things such as touching him in public, deny his own touching, dress how you'd like without his approval, because he was really jealous of needy and hungry eyes that always wanted you. Everyone had envy for him, because you were the most beautiful model in your country, the agency itself was the best one, too. But tonight.. you decided to do.. everything that annoyed him and drove him insane. You first started with a.. really nice outfit, you'd say. It was halfway see-through, high heels and silver, bold jewelry completing the look. You were wearing two pieces, a short but flowy black skirt and a white, almost translucent shirt, an elegant one. Your hair was straightened, flowing beautifully on your bare back, as the shirt you were wearing only covered your chest. A silver chain was connecting two pieces of fabric on your back, making you flinch with every slight touch, because of the sheer coldness.
"Darling.. did I ever approve of... this outfit?" Yunho whispered, one of his hands going on your thigh. You tried to deny his touch, moving his hand away, but he only dug his nails deeper into your leg. You flinched, looking at him in the eyes, with an almost innocent look.
"Oh babe... don't you like it? Damn.. I thought it looked really nice" you said sheepishly, smiling at him.
"I didn't say I don't like it but... didn't we agree that these types of visible outfits are... only for me to see, hm?" he whispered and approached your neck with his lips, slightly biting it.
"Babe.. there's people around us. What would they think of you, seeing you kissing me like that?" you said, trying to get a reaction out of him but to your surprise, he remained calm and content, biting you harder.
"Do I look like I give a fuck? You did it to yourself, love. This is the first strike of tonight.. be careful for the rest of the time. I don't feel like destroying your beautiful body when we get back in the room." Yunho said, going in for a soft kiss on your lips.
"We'll see about that, babe." you said and got up from your seat, searching with your eyes the champagne bar.
Someone came behind your back. Of course, it was Yunho, all touchy on your bare waist, as the shirt you were wearing was pretty.. short.
"Babe.. I almost forgot" he mumbled.
"What did I tell you about denying my hand, hm?" his hands hovering your back, one of them on your ass and one on the nape of your neck, slightly squeezing it. "Hm? what did I tell you, mind sharing me your reason?"
"You told me that I should... never move your hand away from myself.." you said turning around to face him. "But... what's entirely wrong with it.. pretty boy? Don't you like it when I tease you..?" you said and gave him a kiss, your hands traveling from his neck to his collarbones, then from his chest to his belt, tugging at it for a second.
"This is.." he whispered. "Strike two.. my love." One more and we're out of here.. remember the rule?" he squeezed your ass, looking right into your eyes, seeing how eager you were to fuck him right there.
Several minutes pass and you were back to your table, sitting next to each other. He effortlessly pulled your seat closer to his, making you gulp at his power and speed. Looking him in the eyes you started being all touchy with him. Started from his hands, feeling up his slender and long fingers, then to his biceps. You stayed like that for a long minute, with your head resting on his shoulder, then one of your hands went straight for his crotch, no warning.
"Yunho, everything good? Why did you flinch, is it too cold here?" Seonghwa asked, confused.
"Ah yes, everything is fine, don't worry about it" he said smiling, squeezing your thigh, his hand going to your pussy, rubbing circles through your panties from under your skirt.
 "Babe... that's strike three, if you ask me." he said and patted you on your thigh, to make you look at him. He then looked around for the exit doors and excused himself, taking your hand into his.
"Joong, we'll be back, I need to take care of something at the agency" Yunho said and then dragged you out.
And as the two of you got out the doors, there was a long empty hall, no one was there. He slammed you to the wall, one of his hands on your throat and one lifting you up. He was going towards the elevator.
"Nh- babe, where are we going? you said through the kisses.
"Just upstairs, I reserved a room for us right here. I didn't think we'd need it but... you wanted to be a little slut so it serves us good. Aren't you my little whore, hm? All down for me, I saw you eye fucking me when you were getting champagne. You wanted me to fuck you dumb tonight, mm? he said while going in the elevator.
"What did you want me to do babe, hm? Did you miss my slaps and my cuffs? You little slut, you'll see what will happen if you're being a brat with me again" and right as he said this, he held you close as he opened the door with the keycard. He closed it and he dropped you on your bed.
Some meters from the king sized bed there was a small bag, and you knew so well what there was... cuffs, blindfolds, ropes.. everything you could think of as a sub. And yes.. the relationship between you and your husband, in private, was a dom/sub one. You found out that you were both into bdsm a while ago, when Yunho didn't resist anymore and tried something new on you. You loved it and... it became a really often practice.
"Love, spread out, now." he said as he went back to get something from the bag.
You were still dressed and he was too. But you could feel yourself leaking right on the bed. You knew you left a wet spot on the dark sheets, something that turned your man on even more.
"Told you to spread the fuck out, you brat. When did you get so naughty, hm? Want me to put you in your place? he said as he spread your legs out, tying them to the bed frame. You still had your clothes on, but the skirt was lifted up and the blouse was all messed up. He ripped of your panties and threw them on the floor.
You tried to say something but didn't have time to react. He went back to the bag and took out some cuffs, then got on the bed, his crotch, still dressed, rubbing on your folds. You could feel his bulge getting bigger, his pants getting thighter as he went further to tie your hands to the headboard.
"For all of what you did tonight.. babe, you'll get punished, you know that, right? he said as he hovered his hand over your throat and collarbones. "Stay still, I'll tie a sheer blindfold to your eyes. I want you to still be able to distinguish how I destroy your little and pretty pussy."Â
"Yuyu.. please. Fuck me." you pleaded, trying to look him in the eyes. Whenever he tied a blindfold on your eyes.. it turned you on so bad. You couldn't properly see what was happening nor what he was doing, preparing what to do to you.. but it was thrilling.
"Hmm... what should I start with.. pretty slut, mm? Should I just edge you until you can't take it anymore and cum out of overstimulation and exhaustion, should I make you cry and not let you cum the whole night? Should I.... fuck you and deny your orgasm how you denied my hand? Tell me, sweetheart. I need words, not muffled sounds." he confidently said, giving you a smirk and his right hand going right to your blouse, easily unbuttoning it and throwing it away on the floor.
He hastly gets rid of your bra, his groping entirely unhelpful. Large hands, slender fingers roaming your body, sliding over your nipples, pressing and nibbling at them, cupping your breasts and hoisting your legs up and around his waist. Him, still clothed, you.. only with your skirt on, if that's even important.
"Fuck, Yuyu â" you gasp when he sucks a dark bruise into the skin of your neck, while one of his hands went to his shirt. He slowly unbuttoned it, then went for his pants. He undid them halfway and pushed towards you, getting a soft moan out of your slowly rising chest, heavy breathing from all the manhandling he did on you. He was taking his time. He absolutely loved seeing you begging for his cock, squirming and moving against his crotch in wish of friction. But.. Yunho left all his patience at the door.
"Babe, how did you get me this mad, hm? Did you even think about the consequences, you little slut? If that's what you wanted.. I'll destroy you, sweetheart."
Two of his fingers trace your hole before sinking into you, curling to find the right spot. All you can do is arch your back, your moans and cries soon muffled by one of his hands, as he chokes you.
"Is this what you wanted? rile me up so I'd fuck you hard tonight? all you needed to do is ask, sweetie." Yunho said, curling his fingers right into your sweet spot, receiving some loud moans from you.
You could ask and he'd give you the moon if he could. But he was a completely different person in bed. There's something about him taking you like this, almost feral, that makes your toes curl.. could it be his fingers and how he curls them in you so good that he makes you shiver and cum, maybe squirt all over the place? would it be... his cock and how deep you feel it in you, scared that he might destroy your insides?
He fucks his fingers into you sloppily, scissoring you open with little to no care if it hurts or not. It was clear that he only had one goal in sight, and that being stretching you out just enough to be able to take his cock.
It only takes a few more strokes before he's satisfied, the blunt head of his dick prodding at your entrance, getting loud whimpers from you.
"Use the safe word if it's too much" he said and started pounding into you, making your hands rocket to the headboard, holding on for dear life. It's the only warning he gives you but.. it's enough to get an understanding on how pissed he was. He was holding so thight onto your thighs, them around his waist, that you knew you'd have bruises the next day.
"So fucking tiny" he grunts as he watches you struggle to adjust to his size "Such a whore for my cock, mhm? You take it so well... even if it destroys you. Be my cumslut, won't you? I'll edge you until you can't take it anymore."
"Y-yunho !" you shouted as he used a vibrator on your clit, arching your back at the sensation. The puffed bud he was stimulating made you feel like you'd already come, but something else happend. Your walls clenched on his cock, receiving a low grunt and as he slowed down his thrusts, he watched you contently at how you squirted all over him and the bed.
"Oh wow, already? Lucky this is the only thing I'm letting you do, you little slut" he said as he thrusted even deeper, harder, sloppier into you.
"Babe, n-no don't do th-that I might c-cum" you said as he was giving you another round of circles on your clit, feeling how overstimulated you were.
"Nope, I won't let you" he said as he stopped, pulling out of you, your hole clenching on nothing.
He started rubbing his length lazily, looking at you squirming right in front of him. You wanted to be fucked dumb, until you couldn't walk anymore. But that wasn't his plan for tonight.
"Let's make a deal. If you make me cum only with your mouth, no hands and no sucking. Just touching, licking and nibbling, I'll let you cum. Otherwise, you'll get slapped and fucked... not in your little aching pussy, but deep down in your cute and red ass, until you cry. What do you say, babe, a pretty good deal, I'd say?" he said as he uncuffed your hands, lifting you on your knees.
The thing is... you weren't quite.. on your knees. You were spread out, your aching hole rubbing on the wet and sloppy linen underneath you. You started humping it slowly, not knowing if you were allowed to, but he somehow didn't mind it. He knew you weren't able to cum only from humping on a cloth so he let you do your thing.
"Now.. be my little cumslut and get on licking." he said guiding your head to his dick, throbbing on your lips. You had your hands cuffed at your back, not being able to move them. You started kissing, nibling at the tip, getting some nice groans out of him. Then you started licking the slit, putting pressure with your tongue and licking his length all down to the base of it. The circles you always make on the tip get him from being silent to being louder, as the sloppy sounds of your tongue turns him on more.
"Yes, just like that, sweetie. A liiiittle bit more and you're getting me closer."
You started nibbling, almost like sucking on his tip.
"Yuh, mhm. Go on, make me cum, you little whore" he said as his breath started getting faster, heavier, your licks getting sloppier as he tried so hard not to cum but... you did the deal. He came all over your face, as you were not allowed to suck it.
"Good girl, such a good girl you are" he said as he wiped off his load from your face with one hand and with the other one opening your mouth, his thumb on your bottom lip. He let his cum drip onto your tongue, signaling you by raising his brows to swallow. You did as he wanted, soon sucking his fingers to get every drop of his load.
"Y'know babe.. I kinda changed my mind in between your little nibbles." he said as he turned you over, on your belly, one of his hands on the back of your throat. "You're gonna take me so well, I will make sure of it." he said as two of his fingers went in your other hole, no warnings. You moaned at the feeling of his fingers curling up inside you. The same as before, his goal was to make your hole be able to engulf his length, but this time his goal was to bottom down entirely.
"Thought you could just leave me like that?" he wraps a hand around your waist, the other one on your neck, "leave me high and dry without any repercussions? You're lucky I'll keep my promise and let you cum so... cum, you little slut." as he started pounding heavily and deeply into you.
The hand he had on your waist goes to your pussy, curling them inside you and rubbing your clit.
You shake your head at his words, the coil in your tummy tightening with every word he hisses into your ear, wetness dripping down his balls and coating them as he pounds into your ass.
Yunho could feel you clenching around his cock, knows you're close by the familiar rhythm and your muffled whines rising in pitch. He removes his thight hold on your neck, letting you turn your head around, gasping for air.
"'m so close, fuck, yunho, gonna cum â"
Your entire body tenses then slumps down against the mattress, only held up by his strong arm around your waist. Yunho fucks you through your orgasm, through the oversensitivity and the chants of your little whimpers and words.
"too much, 's too much, please, s-stop" but you never use your safe word. You whine and you cry until your limp body is pushed over the edge again, eyes rolling back while you cream his cock, the 2nd time in a short time.
"c-can't," you whimper weakly, "please cum, please â Yunho, please-"
You're begging him so sweetly, voice cracking and body at his mercy. Yunho's hips stutter and his load spills deep inside of you. Your knees buckle under his waist and you whine when the two of you stumble back, his arms wrapped around your chest, all touchy on your breasts.
"You're gonna take my cum all, you little whore. Remember what I said, being my cumslut? Now, take it" he said as he continued pounding into you, getting you over the edge. He didn't lie when he said he'd destroy you, your knees trembling as he closed the gap between the two of you. He then pulled out, pumping his length and his other hand going to your clit over your thigh, sending you shivers down your spine as you squirt once again for the night, now your body being only handled by the hand he used on you.
"What a good whore I have, mm" he mumbled as he came on your back, slowing down his pumps as he slowly puts you down on the mattress.
"See babe? What happens if you're a fucking brat?" he said as he undid the blindfold, looking at your teary eyes.
"What, by the look you have, you want more, you little slut? Is that right?" he said as he slapped your ass.
"Don't worry, I wasn't even close to being done tonight, turn around, I want you to see me fucking you this time."

Weight of the Sky (Alessia X Leah X Reader)
Summary: No one knew why you left the United States and stopped accepting call-ups to the senior team. Only the important people were informed that it had to do with your treatment by the coaching staff. But some reporter got ahold of the story, and a report that was never supposed to see the light of day. How do you deal with everyone suddenly knowing your deepest, most shameful secrets?
Warning: This fic deals with how people process trauma. Thereâs implied abuse, but nothing explicitly described or explained. Again, systemic abuse (physical, mental, and verbal) is what is dealt with in this fic, specifically how someone might deal with it (in healthy and unhealthy ways).
It wasnât something you talked about.Â
It wasnât something you liked to think about.Â
The people who were important to you knew something had happened. They knew why you stopped accepting call-ups to the senior USWNT a year ago, why you had fled the NWSL, and why you were so adamant about never stepping foot on American soil again.Â
You didnât feel the need to explain it to anyone else. To open the dark box you had buried so deeply so long ago. To rip apart the fragile stitches you so carefully constructed over your wounds.Â
But as you stared down at the headline, it looked like you wouldnât have a choice.Â
Scandal set to dismantle US soccer: reports of rampant emotional, physical and sexual abuse at both the youth and senior levelÂ
You didnât want to read it.Â
You wanted to shove your phone back in your bag and join your team out on the pitch like nothing had ever happened.Â
It had worked for you so far.Â
But the way your phone was buzzing told you that it wouldnât work for you this time.Â
That arriving late to practice so you had the locker room to yourself wouldnât be the out you prayed it would.Â
It was one of the best and worst qualities of the team you had left behind. Their stubbornness, especially when someoneâs well-being was on the line.Â
They wouldnât give up when you had been the baby of the USWNT for so long with your first call-up coming at 16.Â
It didnât matter that you barely answered them most of the time now.Â
With both you and Foxy playing for Arsenal, you knew that Alex, or Kelley, or Alyssa, or Becky were not above calling Kim or Jen to sort you out.Â
To force you to face the thing you had run to Europe to escape 3 years ago.Â
The things you had never told them about.Â
âHave you read it yet?â You blinked up at the voice of your fellow American, as Emily sat down beside you.
âJust the headline,â You sighed, tossing your phone into your cubby and grabbing your cleats. âIâm pretty sure I already know what itâs going to say,â
You could feel her eyes on the side of your face, trying to peel back the impenetrable mask you always used to cover your emotions. You had known Emily long enough for her to be able to see past it. To decipher the barely visible tells littered across your features.Â
You could feel the pity in her gaze, and it made you want to puke. You didnât want it. You didnât need it.Â
âI didnât know the details,â Emily said, her voice a pained whisper.Â
It wasnât that Emily hadnât known about the abuse. She was your longest friend, one of the people who you had shared nearly all of your soccer experience with. She knew that things had happened, but you always breezed over it. You didnât give out specifics. You didn't need to be viewed as one broken toy.Â
You made a low noise of agreement. âThat was by design,âÂ
She caught your arm, and you finally looked at her.Â
âY/n,â
Concern accented her blue eyes, and desperation lingered behind her irises. It was an unspoken question.Â
A why that rang clearly.Â
âIt was better for everyone,â You muttered, finishing the knot on your boot and pulling the 2nd one up, answering the question she hadnât asked with words.Â
You knew she would have fought for you. She would have stood up to the people you had been too afraid to. It was safer if she didnât know the full extent of what you had endured. If the complaint you had lodged was the only record of it.Â
You wouldnât put anyone in the firing line. Especially not her.Â
âDid Leah and Alessia know?â She asked, so quietly you barely heard it.Â
Or maybe it was just the blood pounding in your ears.Â
You blinked at the question, looking away from the defender.Â
Of course, your girlfriends knew, but they didnât know. You had never gone into depth about your experiences in the youth system. You never detailed how it had followed you like ghosts until you couldnât take it anymore.Â
Until you broke under the pressure.Â
It wasnât like you hadnât tried to tell them. To let the words out during a million late-night chats over tea with Leah, or when you were so comfortable laid out in Alessiaâs chest, her nails dragging up and down your back.Â
They made you feel truly safe for the first time in your life.Â
You didnât want to give them a reason to not want you. To realize you were too⊠damaged to love.Â
You cleared your throat, your cleats clicking in the concrete as it hit the floor. âYou better get your boots on. Weâre going to be late,âÂ
You didnât wait for her response before you pushed yourself to a standing position, and headed out onto the field.Â
You hadnât spoken to your girlfriends since the article came out. You had spent a very rare night in your own apartment, ignoring their texts, and the calls that had followed.Â
You were surprised they hadnât staked out your apartment this morning, or been waiting for you when you arrived (admittedly late) to practice.Â
You understood that you couldnât ignore them forever. You didnât want to.Â
You just wanted enough time to gather your thoughts. Time to figure out how you were going to explain it all to them. You just wanted 3 hours of peace, before you would have to face reality.
Before you would have to finally deal with Pandoraâs box.Â
You snorted to yourself as you reached the locker room door.Â
At least Pandoraâs box had held hope with all of the bad things. Your box held nothing but pain and agony. Memories that had burned and sizzled the happiness you had finally regained.Â
Experiences that were like bubbling acid, destroying everything they touched.Â
You didnât want them to destroy the word that you had rebuilt for yourself.Â
You wanted to pretend for just a bit longer that you werenât a poison that could only hurt the things you loved.Â
Pretend like you werenât about to lose everything. Like they hadnât realized how⊠unworthy you were of them yet.Â
*****
You felt eyes on you the second you stepped onto the pitch. Like tiny lasers, following your every step. Your every breath. Like they were waiting for you to break down.Â
And for the most part, you ignored them.Â
You painted your signature easy smirk across your lips and joined the midfield warmup line behind Kyra. It was also coincidentally the line furthest from your girlfriends.Â
You focused on the drill, watching as Lia expertly weaved through the cones, the coaches passing her a ball every 3 cones to send into a mini-net. It was easy to let your mind sink into the familiarity of soccer.Â
The field had always been your happy place, even when coaches were running you into the ground. It was a place where all that mattered was your skill. Your ability to ignore physical discomfort and pain to run circles around your teammates.Â
It was why you lasted so long under Rory Dames, Paul Riley, and the rest of the USWNT coaches. They couldnât break you on the pitch. Pain only fueled you.Â
Itâs what had driven them to⊠other methods.Â
You pushed yourself through the line drills, forcing your legs to move faster, and your feet to take shorter touches, driving the pace of the midfield line higher and higher.Â
âYou know this is just warm up right?â Kyra panted as she made it through the final drill, both hands behind her head. âWe still have an entire practice to go,âÂ
You shrugged, grabbing a water bottle and squirting a bit in your mouth as you waited for the other lines to finish. âJust feeling it today,âÂ
âDonât feel it too hard though,â She said, side-eyeing you, trying to sound casual. âPushing yourself wonât make it better,âÂ
You blinked at her, and the uncharacteristic seriousness in her voice. The young Australian was the last person you expected to read the article and then try to confront you about how you dealt with it all.Â
âIâm fine,â You mumbled, squirting more water in your mouth.Â
âNever said you werenât,â Kyra said quickly, stealing the bottle from your hands, briefly glancing over your shoulder. âBut you donât have to be if you donât want to be,â
You nodded stiffly.Â
You knew that if you wanted to fall apart the team, and your girlfriends would be there for you.Â
But you didnât want to.Â
It would make it real instead of just the bad dream you had convinced yourself it was.Â
âI just want to play football,â You sighed, running a hand through your hair. âIâm over everything else,âÂ
Kyra hummed, her serious look shifting into an impish grin as she flipped the bottle towards you and squirted you with water. âHeads up,âÂ
âMust you always be such a pest?â Leahâs voice appeared behind you before you could think about what Kyra meant, her arms wrapping around your middle and her chin resting on your shoulder. âHello darling,â
Shivers ran down your spine when her lips pressed into the sensitive spot just below your ear, and your body tensed unsure if it wanted to sink back into her or flinch away. Your skin crawled in a way that it never had in her embrace before.Â
You shoved the feeling down.Â
It was ridiculous.Â
Uncalled for.Â
Not real.Â
âHey,â You said, painting a smile on your face and forcing yourself to relax back into her familiar hold.âThe forwards arenât finished yet?âÂ
âThey were on their last drill when we finished,â She said, loosening her grip so you could turn to face her. âLess will be happy to see you. She missed you last night,âÂ
You noted the worry lines on her forehead and the crinkle between her eyes.Â
You forced your lips to quirk upward into a teasing smirk despite how heavy it felt. âJust her?âÂ
âYou know better my love,â Leah hummed, her blue eyes searching your face and her thumbs running over the skin under your training top just above your waistband. âWe were worried about you,â
You could hear the honesty, the concern in her voice. The unspoken questions lingering in the air between you.Â
âIâm ok,â You said, meeting her eyes.Â
It was the truth. Right now, with the pitch under your feet, you felt alright.Â
You felt almost normal.Â
She nodded once. âOk,âÂ
You appreciated that she didnât press you. Didnât point out the obvious cracks in your perfect mask.Â
You knew you wouldnât be able to escape their probing later, but at least now she let you be.Â
âYouâre still coming home with us tonight?â She asked, her voice still soft, and you swallowed hard.Â
Jonas blew the whistle just as the forwards finished their last line drill, calling the group to circle up before you could answer.Â
You let out a breath you didnât know you were holding, gently extracting yourself from your girlfriend.Â
âWe should go,â You said, ignoring her question and the deep frown etched across her features.Â
It should have bothered you how the knot in your chest loosened as you stepped out of her grasp. How your skin didnât feel like it was on fire.Â
Her and Alessia had always made you feel safe and it should have bothered you that Leahâs hands had reminded you of his.Â
But you didnât have time to be bothered.Â
You pushed the feelings down again, forcing the lid on them shut.Â
You hoped Jonasâ remarks would be short. That you could have the ball at your feet soon. That you could sink into the familiar peace soccer always brought you before any more emotions tried to force their way to the surface.Â
A stupid article would not derail your practice.Â
*****
You stayed at the edge of the group as Jonas explained the 3 on 3 drill he wanted you to do, watching his little whiteboard as he drew out the formations.Â
It was easy to ignore the poorly concealed glances from your teammates (and Leahâs blatant staring). It was easy to force yourself to focus on the coach.Â
It was easy to pretend your other girlfriend hadnât edged her way over to you, her perfume surrounding you with the sense of peace you had been missing since the stupid article came out. Surrounding you like it had done since the two of you were at UNC together, and she was your anchor to reality, even when she didnât know it.Â
Alessia didnât try to touch you, even as she leaned closer.Â
âBe my partner?â She asked in a whisper, the words tickling your ear.Â
You made a low noise of agreement, your fingers fidgeting at your sides.Â
It felt like when you were in college again.Â
Like every time you would come back from a national team camp, and have to reintegrate back into the team. How she would always inch over to you while Coach Dorrance explained drills.Â
The two of you had been dancing around your feelings back then, and you had been convinced your heart and soul were too damaged to deserve someone like her.Â
You thought her and Leah had finally unconvinced you. That they had finally washed away the feelings of hands you didnât want and cracks that you feared could never be healed.Â
You were wrong.Â
When the news broke, you stared at the headline for hours. You were thankful that you had decided to spend the night alone for once. That your girlfriends were having a date night (something the three of you tried to do every once in a while) because the rush of uncleanliness that rushed over you and settled deep beneath your skin, leaching into your bones was unstoppable. It didnât matter how raw you scrubbed your skin in the shower.
âReady?âÂ
The nudge pulled you out of your thoughts, and you blinked at the blonde forward.Â
You hadnât realized that Jonas was finished, or that most of your teammates had already dispersed.Â
âOh, yeah,â You muttered, unsure of where you were supposed to go, or what you were supposed to do.Â
Maybe you hadnât been paying as much attention as you thought.Â
Alessiaâs lips tilted upwards, and she sent you a knowing smile. The one you hadnât seen often since you were both in America. The one that used to greet you after bad camps and hard nights.Â
âCome on then,â She nudged your arm with her shoulder again.âStephâs our third,âÂ
Your eyebrows furrowed.Â
Why hadnât she picked Leah as your third?
She always picked Leah.Â
You were the one who liked to play against your defender girlfriend. She was always physical, and it never failed to get you worked up.Â
Alessia liked to play with Leah. Their banter always wound her up.Â
You turned, glancing at the Australian defender already collecting a ball. Frankly, you were just thankful it wasnât Emily.Â
That would remind you too much of your time at UNC.Â
âAlright,â You nodded, swallowing hard.Â
You had no reason to feel this⊠off balance.Â
No reason to be thinking about the things you had escaped.Â
Alessiaâs head tilted to the side, watching you. âWe need to make sure we kick Leahâs ass. Sheâs got Viv and Lea. Itâs unfair,â
You hummed again.Â
This you could do.Â
You let your brain slip into the safe place where all that mattered were tactics and the ball. The safe place where all that existed was the pitch, and none of the other noise mattered.Â
âWeâre faster, and we can outmaneuver them,â You mumbled, letting her guide you towards Steph. âItâs the team of Beth, Kyra, and Katie Iâm more worried about honestly,â
While Leah, Lia, and Viv were tactically savvy, you knew you could outpace them. They were defensive-minded, and you were far more used to being an attacking midfielder than Lia was. You would use their defensiveness against them.Â
Bethâs team was much more balanced. Though Katie liked to attack, she was a damn good defender. Kyra could absolutely play as a box-to-box midfielder and Beth was a lethal striker.Â
Alessia made a noise of agreement, her hand gently resting on the small of your back.Â
The comfort didnât send pinpricks up your spine like you thought it would, but maybe that was because you were talking about soccer.Â
Whatever the reason, you leaned into it, accepting the familiar comfort.Â
Yeah, you could do this.
****
âItâs scary to see her like this,â Leah breathed out, glancing towards the door to the showers.Â
You had waited until the rest of the team finished before you disappeared through the doors, with a promise from Leah and Alessia that they would keep everyone out.Â
Emily and Lotte both joined in their vigil, forming a little circle of sorts with their chairs just outside the washroom.
Alessia sighed, running her hand through your hair. âReminds me of our junior year,âÂ
That year had been brutal.Â
The two of you were growing closer, edging past the line of friendship into something more. At least you had been until you attended the USWNT World Cup Qualifying tournament.Â
After that, everything changed.Â
You pulled away completely and looked like a ghost.Â
Your eyes dulled from clear to a murky y/e/c like your soul had been ripped out. You were basically nonverbal by the end of the spring semester. It was all Emily, Lotte, and her could do to make sure you ate and got to practice on time.Â
She didnât want to go back to that. Ever. And she didnât like how similar this felt.Â
How easily you had retreated back into yourself and put all of your shields back into place.Â
âThe year Paul was an assistant for the senior team,â Emily nodded, sharing a meaningful look with Lotte and Alessia.Â
Leah frowned.
She was clearly missing something.
âShe would come back from National team duty and look like a shell,â Alessia explained gently. âWe knew something was going on, but not what it was,âÂ
âOr how deep it went,â Lotte added, her eyebrows pinched together as she looked back at the door.Â
Emily put a gentle hand on her back, rubbing soothing circles.Â
âHe was her coach for the U17 team too,â Leah said, phrasing it as a statement instead of a question.Â
She had read the article, and the full report, unable to stop herself even as the words sliced into her heart like razor blades. It was line after line branding the horrors you had faced from age 13 into her mind, as the reporter described the abuse you and your teammates had endured in excruciating detail.Â
The worst was the photo that he had included in the report.Â
Three words were handwritten in font that was left on colorful sticky notes around your apartments, telling her and Alessia how much you loved them. Font that was on every card, every poem you wrote for them.Â
Font that spelled out Help me, please.Â
A plea that hadnât been heard for years, until an anonymous source had sold the story to the New York Times.Â
âYes,â Emily agreed. âHe used to push her so hard during practice and the things that would come out of his mouth were vulgar, but I didnât know about the other stuff. She only told me they were extra film sessions to help with her game,âÂ
Leah snorted. âShe told us they were tactics meetings, and that he would make her play games she couldnât win. She never told us what the punishments were,â
âIt was by design,â Emily said, using the same careful tone you had used earlier, shaking her head. âI donât think sheâs ever actually processed what happened. She was too busy trying to protect everyone else,â
âShe was a child,â Alessia hissed.Â
The article said you were 13. Just a kid. You shouldnât have to protect anyone. They should have protected you.Â
The system shouldnât have failed. They shouldnât have to deal with the catastrophic fallout.Â
âSo was I. So was Mal.â Emily bit back. âShe didnât want what was happening to her to happen to us, so she didnât fucking tell us. We could have stopped it,â
Lotte held up her hands, telling both of them to calm down. âShe buried her feelings so she didnât have to face them,â
They werenât angry at each other, she knew. They were both fixers and they couldnât fix this. Just like they hadnât been able to fix this while the four of you were in college.Â
She was just surprised Leah hadnât snapped yet either. She was the most protective over you, probably because it had taken you longer to fall for her than it had taken for you to fall for Less.Â
âAnd now she doesnât have a choice,â Leah said with an eerie sense of finality. Like the matter of fact bang of a gavel after a judge made a ruling.Â
The stupid Times writer made it impossible for you to continue to ignore it. He made it impossible for you to outrun it.Â
âSheâs going to try to pretend itâs fine,â Emily sighed, meeting Leahâs eyes. There was something⊠haunted hiding in their depths that sent a shiver down Leahâs spine.Â
âAnd then completely implode when she can't,â Lotte added, mirroring the haunted look behind Emilyâs orbs.Â
They had both seen you at your worst, and they feared they were about to get the sequel.Â
Leah dragged her eyes from Emily to meet Alessiaâs.Â
They knew the struggle you had with your emotions, even the happy ones. The cycles you spent oscillating between locking everything inside and shaking in the shower because you couldnât stop them from pouring out of you and you were afraid of what you would do.Â
They all knew about it.Â
They had all dealt with it at some point.Â
âWeâll keep an eye on her,â Leah promised quietly, again meeting Alessiaâs eyes. âSheâs coming home with us, or weâre going home with her,â
âShe will not be alone tonight,â Alessia agreed. âOr ever again,â
The three other women hummed, before a comfortable silence enveloped them, broken only by the sound of the shower.Â
They didnât have to wait long before the water stopped, and then it was only a few minutes before you came shuffling into the changing room, dressed in one of Alessiaâs oversized hoodies and a pair of Leahâs sweatpants despite the warm temperatures outside.Â
You looked small. Fragile.
Leah pushed herself to her feet the moment she saw you, only refraining from pulling you into her chest when Alessia placed a gentle hand on her arm.Â
She learned in college that physical contact wasnât always something you enjoyed when you felt this vulnerable.Â
âReady to go Darling?â
Your head bobbed, and you held your hand out for Alessia.Â
Leah tried not to let it bother her that you had bypassed her. She knew it was just because you were familiar with how Alessia handled you when you were like this. You knew what to expect from her, while Leahâs reactions were more of a mystery.Â
You didnât want any surprises.
Not now.Â
Not when you were feeling so vulnerable.Â
Alessia took your hand and pulled herself to her feet, while Leah grabbed all 3 of your bags.Â
âLead the way then,â Leah sent you a very soft smile, gesturing with her free hand.Â
Your head bobbed again, and you headed for the door, not even acknowledging Lotte or Emily.Â
You didnât have the mental capacity to address them anymore. Practice had taken all that you had, and you just hoped you could make it through the night with your girlfriends.Â
You honestly just wanted to curl up in your bed and pretend the rest of the world didnât exist.Â
Maybe they would let you for one more night.Â
*****
Dinner had been⊠quiet.Â
Frankly, most of their night had been quiet.Â
An eerie silence seemed to settle over any space you were in, suffocating and heavy, unable to be broken even by a soft soccer game playing in the background.Â
You seemed to be⊠sleepwalking in a way.Â
Your eyes were open, but you were light years away, lost in exactly what thoughts they werenât sure.Â
This was much worse than when you were at UNC.Â
But Alessia and Leah both resolved not to push you.Â
They let you pull away from them both while you watched a random menâs game, cuddled into the far end of the couch. They didnât press as you stared blankly at the screen, only chiming in when they directly asked you a question.Â
With the way the night had gone, they werenât entirely sure you would join them in bed, afraid you would choose to sleep in the guest room instead. Alessia knew if you did, they would be keeping watch outside the door in shifts.Â
But you didnât.Â
You had crawled in between them, still dressed in sweats despite the high temperatures in the house.Â
Things were again quiet while Alessia scrolled through her phone and Leah read her nightly chapter. You steered clear of touching either of them at first, glaring at the ceiling like it had personally offended you.Â
Then you shifted.Â
You rolled over slowly, pressing your face into Leahâs stomach.Â
She lifted her book to give you space, carefully winding her fingers through your hair with her free hand. Her nails dragged along your scalp, and you were relieved at the familiar warmth and comfort that spread through your chest.Â
You never wanted to associate her or Alessia with the feeling of him on your skin.Â
It was easier with Alessia.Â
She had been there to pick up the pieces after each camp. She had been on ground zero for the fallout.Â
Leah hadnât.Â
You only knew Leah from the time you played against her.Â
This was also different.Â
It was like an army of souls you thought you defeated marching their way back through your mind, reigning old wounds, and ones you had so long pretended didnât exist. They ripped apart the careful stitches you had used to pull yourself back together and pried open the covers you had placed on the things you could not face.Â
This wasnât a new wound.Â
It was stupid that an article. Words. Had reopened the festering relics you thought you escaped.Â
Leah turned the page above you, seemingly oblivious to the anguish pulsing through you with every heartbeat.Â
But you knew she wasnât oblivious.Â
Her and Alessia had been watching you all day, trying to support you in their own ways. You knew they wanted to help. All you would have to do is ask.Â
You made the decision before you could overthink it, rolling away from Leah and staring pointedly at the ceiling.Â
âIt wasnât that I didnât want to tell you both about what happened,â You said, your voice far more shaky than you thought it would be, and you felt the women on either side of you pause. âI just didnât know how. Iâve never really known how,â
You didnât look at them.Â
You knew that if you did, you wouldnât be able to talk about it. The words would get caught in your throat, and just like all of the other times you tried, you would be rendered speechless.Â
âWe know,â Leah said, her book closing with a low thump. âWeâre not upset with you,âÂ
âWe just want to understand,â Alessia added, setting her phone down on the side table. âThe things in that article. It went on for so long,âÂ
Her voice cracked, and part of you longed to turn over and pull her into your arms. To tell her that it wasnât that bad. To pretend, just like you always had.Â
You swallowed hard. You couldnât do that.Â
They knew the truth now, and there was no escaping it.Â
âI didnât know what to do. Thereâs not exactly a recourse for stuff like this in America,â You explained. You needed them to understand that it wasnât that you hadnât tried to stop it.Â
It wasnât that you liked it.Â
You were just powerless. One of many cogs in an outdated machine.Â
Leah shifted, sitting up and turning to face you, sitting crisscross on the bed, a deep frown etched across her features. âEven on the youth teams?â
You shook your head.Â
There hadnât been anything you could do until you got to the senior team. Until a certain forward recognized the signs and had been so⊠stubborn and unrelenting in her support.Â
âAlex helped,â You sighed., picking at the edge of your sweatshirt sleeve. âShe got me to do the report and had Coach Riley removed. Apparently, I wasnât the first, nor the last,â
You owed a lot to Alex Morgan. More than you would ever be able to repay. She had been the only one to know the true extent of the damage the coach had done, and she fought for you when you couldnât fight for yourself.Â
Itâs why you felt so guilty when you left the team. When you left her.Â
âItâs why she visited so much in North Carolina,â She said, rather than asking as realization brushed across her features. âNot because she wanted you to play for Orlando,âÂ
âShe was worried, and my Captain at the time,â You mumbled, unable to help the way your lips turned upwards slightly at the mention of the old fight between you and Alessia. The fights about Alex taking a 2-hour flight to visit every weekend. The fight you knew now was centered around jealousy and fear that Alex was trying to get you to leave her.
Leahâs eyebrows pulled more tightly together. âIf Riley was gone, why did you stop accepting call-ups?âÂ
âVlatko was a lot like Paul. And Roary,â Your nose scrunched at the mention of their names. They left a terrible taste in your mouth. âHe doesnât understand player health and wellbeing. He told me to play on torn tendons in my ankle or risk my spot,â
Leahâs frown deepened as she tried to understand the full extent of what you had endured. âSo you gave your spot up,âÂ
You nodded once.Â
Your greatest regret in this whole thing was that you had given up playing for your country. Given up the thing you dreamed about for your entire childhood.Â
âI was too tired to fight him too. Especially when I found places and people where I didn't have to fight at all. People who treated me like an actual human, instead of a playing card to be toyed with,â
You finally met your girlfriend's eyes, the weight of your words. The weight of the choice you had made was not lost on either of them.Â
âAnd you carried the weight of it all on your own,â Alessia said, shifting and laying a gentle hand on top of yours, effectively stopping you from unraveling the hem of your sweatshirt sleeve.Â
You shrugged. Sometimes you felt like Atlas, forced to hold up the sky, but it was better than being forced to watch the people you loved hold it.Â
âYou donât have to do this alone. Weâre here to help, but we canât if you hide things from us,â Leah said, joining Alessia's hand on top of yours. âSo no more secrets, alright?â
You bit your lip, finally nodding.Â
Old habits would die hard, but you had to try.Â
For them.Â
Alessia squeezed your hand, and you turned, rolling over so your face rested in its favorite hiding place against her chest, and Leah shifted to spoon you from behind.Â
The smothering sadness around you disappeared, driven out by comfortable silence your girlfriend's breathing, and the feeling of them pressed against you.Â
There was something else nagging at the back of your mind.Â
Something else you hadnât been ready to face yet.Â
No more secrets, you reminded yourself.Â
âEmma called me last night,â You admitted softly against Alessia's chest. âshe wants to talk at the game against Chelsea,â
The coach had been very polite in her voicemail, leaving an apology you knew she didnât owe you, and suggesting that the two of you have a chat.Â
Leah hummed behind you, lips brushing your ear. âDo you want to talk to her?âÂ
âSheâs probably going to try to convince me to play for the US again,â You said, ignoring the question she asked you.Â
âAnd do you want that?â Alessia prompted again.Â
Your shoulders lifted and fell helplessly.âIf anyone could convince me, it would be her,âÂ
âThat didnât answer the question sweet one,â Leah said again, pinching your side.Â
You made a low noise, finally pulling your face out of its favorite hiding place.Â
You knew what your answer was, and you knew that Alessia and Leah would support you.Â
They would help you hold up the weight of the sky, and it would all be ok because you would do it together.Â
Article and all.Â

áŽÊáŽáŽáŽáŽÊ ÉȘ - ÊáŽáŽÊ áŽáŽáŽáŽáŽÉŽÉȘáŽÉŽ áŽê° áŽÊáŽÉȘáŽáŽ
synopsis - after making a decision, you pack up the last of the things your dear companion needs in the trunk. with your new friend secured carefully, you drive back home to organize all the new stuff you bought into your guest bedroom. hopefully they are liking their new home so far.
âËđŸË°
It had taken a bit of walking back and forth but you finally settledâ
âon one of the doves! You wanted to adopt Sunday and his sister, Robin, but someone had already reserved her. Ëâ Ë
With a grunt, you loaded the trunk with the cage, food, toys, and other necessities that would ensure Sundayâs comfort. He was placed in a little carrier with wide holes to breathe and see through, big enough to freely move around as you secured him in your passenger's seat.Â
Throughout your drive home, you could hear him pacing around in his carrier. Your fingers tapped on the steering wheel as you would glance at him every now and then. You were starting to get worried about him, not wanting to cause a lot of stress for him on his first day in his new home.Â
When you finally reached your house, you quickly unloaded your car and brought him in, careful to not tussle the box.Â
Your home was pretty big but cozy. You had a guest room in case any of your friends were to come over, and two bathrooms, one being part of your room. Lucky you. You had decided on making the guest room Sundayâs new room so that he could fly around freely.Â
Constructing the cage was pretty easy, it had a large space with some perches and toys for him to entertain himself with when he wasnât flying around outside. You hoped he would like it.Â
Carefully, you placed the box inside and opened it, closing the cage door so he wouldnât fly out in a panic and hurt himself.Â
âSunday? You can come out now, I have your new home set up.â You watched as the dove slowly inched his way out, head tilting in different directions as he observed the area. You already left some food and water for him, organizing the rest into containers with a corresponding label.Â
âLiking your new home?â You stared curiously as he climbed the walls of the cage, staring at you. Hesitant to move your finger towards him, you decided to show him your hands from a distance. âIâm much bigger than you but I hope you arenât too scared of me, Sun.â
The dove had only continued to observe you before settling onto a perch, puffing his feathers out with his head tucked between his wings. Seems like he was ready to sleep.
With a chuckle, you brought out a blanket to cover his cage so he wouldnât get frightened by any passing lights outside. With a soft âgoodnightâ, you closed the door gently and walked back towards your own room.Â
âon a small, blond Norwegian Forest cat who had unique eyes. They were an extraordinary color, one you have never seen before with cats. Questioning the old lady about this, she could only give you a shrug, saying that he was rescued from an abusive home that adopted him from a breeder, so it couldâve been the breederâs doing.Â
Hearing of his past pained you, fueling your determination to give him a loving home.
Along with Aventurine, you bought him his necessities. Litter, cat food, a brush, etc⊠You even got him a collar, one that was quite pricey but glamorous, living up to his name.Â
He was in his crate, his small body curled up as he peeked through the openings. Sometimes youâd put your finger near the holes for him to smell, his paw poking out as if reaching for you.
The lady had already filled you in on his vet details and history, providing you the necessary paperwork as you signed your consent. It was official, Aventurine was now adopted by you and placed in your care.Â
âPlease be gentle with him, he can be quite the troublemaker but heâs also a sweetheart. Come again soon!â With a wave goodbye, you brought his crate to the car which already had all his things in.Â
The ride home was pretty quiet, it seems like Aventurine isnât much of a talker. You smiled, finding his shyness adorable.
After you had put all of his things away into a guest bedroom, you opened his crate, watching as he slowly got out to stretch. He sniffed the area before cautiously walking towards you, smelling your out-reached hand before backing off, continuing to wander.Â
Youâd figured it would take some time before he got used to you. Standing up from your kneeling position, you started walking towards your room.
âIâll leave the doors open for you to explore, Aven.â Of course, you left the bathroom doors closed, not wanting him to make a mess out of the toilet paper in there. You thought about the kitchen and living room, but there was nothing too dangerous for him to get into, so you let it slide.Â
Cracking your door ajar, you crawled into bed, already changed into your pajamas.Â
âNight, Aventurine.â You called out, hearing his footsteps pitter-patter against the hardwood floor.Â
You hoped he would like it here.
âon a violet-blue ring-necked parakeet named Veritas Ratio. An odd name, but from what the lady had told you, it seemed pretty fitting.
âVeritas is an intelligent bird who requires much stimulation otherwise heâd get bored easily. Heâs a bit standoffish, but heâll warm up to you eventually.âÂ
âŠYou were a bit nervous, but you were determined to build a bond with him. Birds have always fascinated you with their intellect and colors, their trust often being hard to obtain as they are both cautious and observant. When you were standing in front of Veritasâ enclosure, you made sure to read all the details and information about their breed so you knew what you were getting into.Â
âYouâve owned birds before, this wouldnât be new,â you thought to yourself, carrying Veritas to your car. The old lady was kind enough to walk you back to your car with all the necessities you needed, holding the bird food and toys while you carried the heavier things.Â
After packing everything in, you secured Veritas in the passenger seat and started up your car, driving out of the parking lot and into the direction of your home.Â
Every now and then, you would hear him flutter his wings, most likely stretching them as the carrier allowed him sufficient room to do so. It wouldnât be long before you parked in your houseâs garage, moving everything inside the guest room upstairs before bringing Veritas in. You could see him peeking through the holes, trying to get a glimpse of his surroundings.
âLet me set up your cage first and then you can come out, okay?â Setting him down beside you, you quickly got to work on building the cage, arranging some toys and perches for him. Once you were satisfied, you refilled his food and water bowl before picking up his carrier and opening it to let him walk inside.Â
Veritas cautiously got out of the carrier, head tilting from side to side as he observed the cage. His eyes were pinning his surroundings, curiously walking around and climbing up the cage walls so he could sit on a perch. He turned his head to the right so he could get a good look at you.
âHello.â
You slightly jumped in your spot, startled by the sudden greeting. You didnât know he could talk, he was relatively quiet when you were in the store and during the car ride! Is he slowly warming up to you?
âUhâ hello! Welcome to your new home, do you..like it?â You felt a bit awkward talking to a bird, not really expecting any other answers from him.
â...â
Veritas didnât say anything else, only continuing to look at you before he started grooming himself. You sighed, a bit relieved to see that he was comfortable and not stressed in his new home.
âIâm gonna head back to my room now, Iâll see you in the morning.â
Getting up from your spot on the ground, you draped a small blanket over his cage before turning off the lights. With a final goodnight, you gently closed the door with a âclick!â, walking back to your room and flopping onto your bed with a sigh.Â
âon a border collie named Boothill! He was quite energetic, sniffing all around you before sitting in front of your feet, staring up at both you and the old lady.Â
âBoothill is a very protective dog, always following their owner and basically accompanying them during every task. Heâs a sweet little fella, Iâm sure youâll love him.â The old lady gave Boothill a small pat on the head, offering the leash to you.Â
âHere you are, young one.âÂ
Taking the leash from the old ladyâs hands, Boothill immediately sat up and started dragging you around the store.
âB-Boothill! Where are you going??â You yelped, tripping over your feet as he sniffed around the aisles. He sat in front of a particular shelf, one full of dog treats. Ah, did he like a specific brand?Â
Grabbing the one he was looking at the most, you read the label and ingredients out loud to yourself. The old lady had popped up next to you after you finished reading it, an apologetic smile on her face.Â
âSorry about that, Boothill can also be a little bit of a troublemaker.â She adjusted her glasses, looking down towards Boothill with a chuckle. âYou naughty fella, donât be too hard on your owner okay?â
Boothill barked in response, glancing up at you with his piercing red and gray eyes. He almost seemed to be making puppy eyes at youâŠ
âIâll get you this treat if it makes you happy, then.â You smiled, tucking the bag underneath your arm. You walked around the store with a small cart the lady had offered you, pulling different necessities off the shelves and putting them in the cart as Boothill strolled next to you.Â
After paying for everything and getting all the documents you needed, you led Boothill towards your car and packed everything inside the trunk. He immediately jumped in the backseat, laying down as you buckled up and started the engine.Â
âWe arenât too far from home, but be careful back there okay?â You glanced at him through your rear-view mirror, making sure he was comfortable before pulling out of the parking lot.
It took a while to move everything inside, but eventually, you had his little room all set up with his food and water. You let him roam around your backyard for a bit in case he needed to use the restroom, but he just came back to you after smelling around the fences and shrubs. Guess he was just getting used to his surroundings.
âEverything is set up in here, but Iâll leave my door open if you need anything.â You spoke, looking down at him as he sat beside your legs. You gave him a couple pets, moving to turn off the bedroom light before going to your own room.Â
Unsurprisingly, he trotted after you, hopping onto your bed and kneading the comforter until he was satisfied. Chuckling, you pulled back the comforter and made yourself comfortable in your bed, feeling Boothillâs warmth near your feet.Â
âGoodnight Boothill.âÂ
You heard a huff in response.Â

You're Not My Real Dad
Part of the "Meet & Greet... and more?" Universe Pairing: Lando Norris x Noah Words: 1501 Request: Omg I absolutely love the meet and greet series. đ I was wondering if I could request something where Lando and Noah get into a fight. Like Lando told him to clean up his toys and Noah dose the whole 'your not my dad' line. But happy and sweet ending of course. đ Masterlist
Please do not repost, thank you, and leave some feedback :)
Lando had barely stepped inside his apartment when he felt the weight of a long race weekend lift off his shoulders. But as he walked through the modern space, lined with sleek furniture and bathed in the soft glow of evening light filtering through the large windows, his attention was drawn to a new challenge awaiting him. His seven-year-old son, Noah, had been struggling a bit with his recent move to Monaco and today was no different.
The apartment was a mix of the unfamiliar and the exciting - a space with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Yet, for little Noah, it was all a bit overwhelming. The transition had been difficult and the chaos of his new room showed his unease.
After a quick shower Lando headed towards Noahâs room, his footsteps soft on the polished floors. He knocked lightly on the door before opening it. Noah was deeply engrossed in constructing a Lego spaceship on the floor, surrounded by an ocean of toys, books and scattered art supplies. The room looked like a miniature storm had hit it.
âHey, buddy,â Lando said gently as he stepped into the room. âI see youâre building something amazing there.â
Noah looked up briefly, his concentration breaking. âUh-huh.â
Lando smiled, sitting down beside him. âIâm glad youâre having fun but itâs time we clean up a bit. The roomâs a bit messy and we need to get it sorted.â
Noahâs eyes narrowed and he pushed a Lego piece aside with a sigh. âI donât want to.â
Landoâs heart ached at the reluctance in Noahâs voice. He understood how the move had been hard on him - new city, new school, new environment and now it seemed like even the small tasks were a burden.
âNoah,â Lando said softly, his voice concerned, âI know itâs been a bit tough lately. Moving to a new place can be really hard but we need to take care of our space so it feels more like home. Come on, letâs clean up a bit.â He reached for a stray Lego piece on the floor but Noahâs small hand shot out to grab it back.
âNo!â Noah screamed. âI donât want to! I hate it here!â He pushed the Lego piece away and kicked at a pile of books, sending them tumbling across the floor.
Landoâs patience began to fray but he tried to meet Noahâs gaze. âI understand that youâre upset. Itâs a big change and itâs not easy but this mess isnât going to help.â
Noahâs face flushed red, his anger escalating. âYou donât get it! Youâre not my real dad! You donât know how I feel!â He grabbed a handful of toys and threw them across the room, the clatter echoing off the walls.
Landoâs smile faltered. When he heard those words - âYouâre not my real dad!â - his heart sank. It felt as though someone had physically twisted a knife in his chest. The sting of Noahâs outburst cut deeper than any racing setback heâd ever faced. The room, once just a mess of toys and books, suddenly felt like a battleground of emotions.Â
âI may not be your real dad but I care about you a lot. Iâm trying to make things better here. Itâs not just about cleaning up, itâs about making this place feel like home.â
âNo!â Noah shouted. âI donât want this! I donât want you telling me what to do!â
Landoâs face hardened as he stood up, his hands on his hips. âWell, what do you want, Noah? Just to sit here and wallow in the mess? Thatâs not going to fix anything. Iâm trying to make things better for you!â
Noah shook his head, his anger now giving way to raw emotion. âI want my old room, my old friends. I want things to be normal!â
Landoâs shoulders sagged as he realized that shouting wasnât going to help either of them. His anger dissolved into frustration and sadness. He took a deep breath and walked over to Noah, kneeling down to be at his level. âI know you miss your old life but we have to face this new reality together. If we keep fighting like this, itâs only going to make things harder.â
Noah looked away, his small body trembling. âThis place is too big and too different.â
Landoâs mind raced, reflecting on the countless ways he had tried to make the transition easier; setting up Noahâs room, spending extra time with him whenever he could and making sure he felt welcomed in their new surroundings. Yet, despite these efforts, the move had taken a toll. Hearing Noah made Lando question if he had done enough or if he had somehow failed.
In his personal life there were no pit crews or advisors to help Lando navigate these emotional terrains, just him, his love for Noah and the desire to be the best father he could be.
Despite the hurt Lando knew he had to remain calm and supportive. He took a deep breath, pushing aside his own wounded feelings to focus on Noahâs needs. It was clear that Noah was feeling lost and was reaching out in the only way he knew how.
âIâm sorry you feel that way,â Lando said quietly, his voice steady. âI know things are different for you and itâs not easy but I care about you and Iâm here for you, even if it doesnât always seem that way. Being your dad means helping you through tough times and sometimes that means cleaning up a messy room together.â
Noahâs eyes welled up and he looked down at the scattered toys, overwhelmed. âI donât want to clean up. Itâs too much.â
Tears began to roll down Noahâs cheeks and he buried his face in his hands. The sight of his son, usually so full of energy and laughter, now so vulnerable and upset, struck Lando deeply. He knew this move had been incredibly tough for Noah, tougher than him and Y/N had expected, and the weight of the transition was clearly taking its toll.
Lando gently pulled him close. âItâs okay to be sad,â he said softly. âI understand. Moving is hard and itâs a lot to handle but you donât have to go through it alone. Iâm here to help and Iâm not going anywhere. Weâll figure this out together.â
Noahâs bawling became more intense and his little body shook with the force of his crying. âIâm sorry,â he choked out. âI didnât mean it. I know youâre my dad. I just⊠I just donât know how to feel.â
âThereâs nothing to be sorry for,â Lando whispered. âYouâre allowed to feel however you need to. Itâs okay to let your feelings out. Iâm here with you and weâll get through this. It might be tough now but weâll find our way.â
Noahâs sobs gradually subsided and he looked up at Lando with tear-streaked cheeks. âI really miss my old room,â he said softly.
âI know you do,â Lando said gently, brushing a tear from Noahâs face. âAnd itâs okay to miss it. We can make this new place special too. Letâs work on it together, one step at a time.â
Noah nodded, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. âOkay. Can we make it fun?â
âAbsolutely,â Lando said, his heart lifting at the sight of Noahâs willingness to try. âLetâs turn cleaning up into a game. Weâll see who can find the most missing pieces and put them away. And afterwards weâll have a movie night with popcorn and whatever else you want, just the two of us.â
Noahâs face brightened slightly and he gave a small, grateful smile. âPopcorn sounds good.â
âPopcorn it is,â Lando said, smiling back. âLetâs go.â
They began tidying up and Lando made a game out of it, pretending that each toy was a hidden treasure to be found and organized. He exaggerated his excitement over each discovery, making Noah giggle despite himself. The room quickly started to look more organized and Noahâs mood lifted with each passing minute. Noahâs laughter returned as he found a new rhythm in the task and Lando felt nothing but relieved.
When they finally finished the room was clean and tidy. Noah looked around. âWe did it, dad.â
âWe sure did,â Lando said, giving him a high-five. âNow, letâs pick out that movie.â
They made their way to the living room where Lando let Noah choose from a selection of Disney movies. Noahâs choice was Cars - an obvious choice - and they settled in with popcorn and cozy blankets.
When the opening credits rolled Noah snuggled up against Lando, a sigh escaping his lips. The earlier tension had eased and the comfort of being with his dad made the new apartment feel a little more like home. Lando looked down at the boy in his arms. The transition to Monaco was still a work in progress but moments like these made it clear that, together, they could make it work.

Black Metal and Bourbon (I)
AU MASTERLIST || PART II
PAIRING: Biker/Mechanic!Simon 'Ghost' Riley x F!Bartender!Reader
WORDCOUNT: 8.1k
WARNINGS: Alcohol consumption, drug usage, mentions of sex & intimacy, dark jokes/dirty jokes, rumors, gossip, past toxic relationship, a shitty Ex, protective!Simon, etc. (18+ mini-series)
*I do not give others permission to translate and/or re-publish my works on this or any other platform*
You slapped the damp rag back into the bar top, the fabric heavy with spilled alcohol and other fluids that you didnât even want to try and think about.Â
âJesus.â Your muscles ache, neck stiff from having to try and slap a dart from the ceiling where some jackass had been too drunk to attempt and hit the target. The thing was still up there, as you werenât about to spend your entire night fruitlessly attempting to fix someone else's blurry mistakes.Â
You glare over your shoulder, seeing the unconscious form of the man in question being dragged out by his friends presently, his slurring chuckles making him sound like a drowning elephant. Intoxicated yells of goodbye attached to your name make you roll your eyes slowly as they begin being said; you push through the waist-height door to allow you behind the front counter. Your middle finger flips the patrons off before boisterous flirting hits the air.
âCâmon baby, donât be like thatâ!â Is cut off by the slam of the front doors and you couldnât be more happy that your boss hadnât gotten the bolts tightened.Â
âDonât get paid enoughâŠâ You grumble, eyes slithering over to the tip jar and seeing the overflow of bills and coins as your fingers wrap the neck of a bottle of Vodka.Â
The profit would be split with your coworker even if sheâd been gone for more than half a night getting railed by her new boy toy. You can still remember the look sheâd given you as sheâd walked out during rush hour, her sharp smirk and smug sheen of âyou wonât say anything, will you?â
Grumbling under your breath, you slip the Vodka back into its slot on the wall racks, while telling yourself you canât drink on the job; trying to forget the face of the man that had been attached to hers before theyâd stumbled to the back alley. Â
âGraham Whitaker, youâre such a five-cent sell-out,â you shake your head, sighing heavily into the air that smells like booze and sweat.Â
Graham Whitakerâyour Ex in every sense.Â
You decided to tell your coworker, if she ever showed back up, that the only reason she was getting dicked-down was because it was that manâs plan to try and make you jealous. As if youâd be caught with your pants down over a prick that had cheated on you more times than you could count before you threw his ass out.Â
âNot my problem anymore,â your hands move to display themselves in a motion of a settled disagreement before wiping them on your black pants.Â
It was late now, of course, with the dart-drunk and his friends being the last patrons that you had to serve. But youâd been in this town a long, long time.Â
Sorrel the construction worker came in an hour, Miss Anna-Lee accompanying for her nightly Gin and Tonic before she talked about her late love from the seventies. From there it was three more regulars before closing activities and fighting to get up tomorrow by noon only to do it all over again.Â
Over and over and over.Â
You lean back on the counter and look across the brown wood and warm overhead lights, behind you, the illumination from the drink rack gives off a dead glow.Â
This was your workplace since you'd been of age, and over the years that seemed to drag, here is where youâd stayed. Nothing ever changed in this townâthe biggest shock was when youâd broken up with Graham; people hadnât stopped talking about it for months.
This place was like a prison of slow death and abandoned dreams. Safe to say this was not what you had envisioned for yourself.
You scoff, pushing off the back counter and snatching your rag back up before you can spiral once more.
The stains werenât going to buff themselves out.
Maybe it was chance that the mechanics shop across the street had shut down, too few employees and too many drug busts. Chance, or fate, whichever it was you chose to believe in that still-air Sunday, it was still a shock to you when you looked out the front window as Sorrel called goodnight through his heavy accent.Â
âSOLDâ
âSold?â Sorrel pauses with one foot out of the door, and he chuckles when he sees where youâre looking in shock, your hand holding a dirty glass.Â
âHavenât heard, then? Few newcomers snuck in under our nosesâtheyâll be running the place; mechanics!âÂ
âNew?â You laugh. âWho in their right mind would come here of all places?âÂ
Sorrel shakes his head, grumbling as he pulls a cigarette from his pocket. âYouâll just have to meet âem, Doll. Sure youâll leave a glowing impression.â
âTake that shit outside, you ass. You know I hate the smell.â A smirk graces your dead eyes.Â
âLike I said. Glowing.â You glare, but the man slips out of the door quickly and his form passes by the window outside to climb into his truck parked in the street. Two honks from the horn and the older man is off, grizzly-like beard gone just like your boredness.Â
New arrivals?Â
You blink at the blackened shadows of the street, illuminated by the lights and their tall tree-like basesâthe sway of the planted bushes in the boxes outside. Your head tilts at the abyssal building that was once in working order.Â
It was a shitshow now, years of abandonment not giving it any helping hand regarding upkeep. The concrete was cracked, the garage door was hanging off of one side, and the front windows had been broken by your Exâs buddies when they had gotten into a fight like the three-year-olds they were.Â
You hum lowly. A hard-chucked set of keys, you recalled. Youâd seen it from here easily enough. Hadn't lied to Sheriff Russel when heâd come knocking, and, you suppose, that was why even now the immature posse still tried to scare you by following you home at night to this day.
As if everyone didnât know where everyone else lived already.Â
But back to the current interest for the night.Â
âLetâs have a little look-see, then,â you breathe, knowing Miss Anna-Lee would be a good while away like always. You could chance five minutesâit was just across the street after all.Â
Shuffling outside, making sure to hold the door until it closes slowly, you step down the single step and stick your hands into your pockets. The night wasnât hot or cold, simply there like a metaphorical cut on your palm; it wasnât surprising the more you lived with it, but it still made your skin itch.Â
Feet padding, you cross the dead street and take in the long stretch of unkempt grass, stepping onto the broken curb as your shoes crunch broken glass. Long-gone cigarette butts are scattered here and there, the occasional stray bit of metal or trash. Your eyes shift slowly from one brick that makes up the frame to another, the peeling blue color that could use touching up.Â
The mural you had painted in middle school had faded a long time ago, just like the great expectations of going into an art career. The eyes of a great gray wolf are only a dark outline that you canât help but stare at as if a cancer was growing in your brain, hidden behind the reach of green ivy.Â
Ripping your eyes away, you ignore the cry of tires from across the town and the pop of an exhaust pipeâthe roar of either a car chase by the repeat offender Irene Chaney, or by some stupid kid related to Irene Chaney.Â
âSheâs gonna wreck one of these days,â you breathe, looking down at your object of intentionâthe sold sign in all of its red and white glory.Â
Your hand snakes out and grabs the cheap plastic, stopping its swaying with a creak and a tilt of your head.Â
You just couldnât understand itâwho in their right mind would buy this place? The only thing it would be good as is rubble, at least then some rabbit could make its very dusty home here.Â
Sorrel had mentioned multiple people too.Â
âMust be up at the B&B then,â your voice carries over the space, the stars twinkling above you as a shadow stands at the end of the cracked driveway. Its hands are in its pockets, tall form bulky with the dark brown leather jacket around its intimidating form. Youâre none the wiser, letting the sign drop as you put your hands to your hips. âThey better not be fuckinâ dickheadsââ
âMind explaininâ to me why I came to get a drink and now Iâm talkinâ to some Bird on my property?âÂ
You startle, gasp peeling out of your lips as your head swivels as if attached to a string which, in turn, tracks back to the source of a heavy Manchester accent. Grass breaks under your feet, as the gravel of the tone makes you cringe. Your eyes lock on the man who looks like he just came back from a warzone.Â
The first thing you noticed was the balaclava and the skeleton detailing, of course, how could you notâthe lower half was an inch below those October eyes of the deepest shade of brown youâd ever witnessed.Â
Your spine straightens in cautious surprise, hiding the way your hands had clenched as if ready to swing on your Ex if he so happened to be there instead ofâŠthis person.Â
âExcuse me?â You say, quickly, as if it was forced out instead of a scream. Your face pushes that stern expression back to your face as your throat clears out the hoarseness.
A covered head tilts with its small sliver of pale flesh visible to youâthe strong bones of his nose bridge and hidden jawline. The bulk of large muscles and thighs spoke to hard labor, and his booted feet shifted below loose black cargo pants.Â
The mask alone caused you a hint of worry in those few seconds of fast study of this phantomâs anatomy.Â
He blinks at you slowly, raising the small corner of a dark brow from a respectable distance away.
âSaid youâre trespassing, yeah?â Your face gains a sheen of heat, and you glance at your bar behind the stranger, at the bright burn of the lights.Â
Taking a stiff breath, your lips pull into a frown as you try to hide your embarrassment.
âWellâŠa holler would have been just fine.â A fake glare is put on. âWhatâs with sneaking up on a woman in the middle of the night? Are you some creep or something?â
Those dark eyes stay locked on yours, and for a moment you donât know if youâve encountered a statue or not because he doesnât speak for a moment.Â
A puff of breath from his nose.Â
âYou the bartender, then?â You motion to your nametag above your left breast and grunt. His gaze homes in before he simply says, âGood.â
Without another word, the man turns stiffly before he steadily begins making his way back to the bar; crossing the street with a swift check of the road. You watch him saunter off, jaw slackened and your cheeks hot. The span of his shoulder blades levels out as he rolls his shoulders.Â
Where did this guy even come from? The answer was simple, the bed and breakfast was only four buildings down and to the left. Guy must have come in for a late-night serenade with a bottle.
A quick glance is thrown back to the rundown property behind you before you growl and hurry after this individual who currently pushes open the faulty doors of your work. Jogging across the asphalt, you catch the thing right before it closes and slip inside with a puff of air and a shoved-down snap of a sarcastic âthanksâ.Â
Yet, the man is already pulling back one of the bar stools and easing into it when you make it behind the counter. You study him yet again.Â
âYouâre one of the new mechanics?â Brown-Eyes blinks at you.Â
Without missing a beat, he goes, âBourbonâKentucky.â
âI asked a question,â you cross your arms, not even for a moment looking away as the silence of the bar sneaks in around you and this strange creature. âLeast you can do for a lady is answer it when you act like a damn cat and sneak up on her.â
âYou were on my property.â This is leveled out through a grunt, and after a moment of staring, you scoff.Â
âI was curious about who had bought such a piece of junk. Guess I have my answer.â Your hand grabs the bottle of Kentucky Bourbon, the amber liquid inside sloshing as you turn back and put it into the wood. Thereâs a fraction of a dead tease that makes the man seem more human than he looks.
âWell, aren't you a ray of sunshine?â
âI prefer a solar flair.â You comment dryly and set an engraved glass next to the bottle. Something flickers past the mechanicâs eyes, a quirk to the fabric of his balaclava.Â
âOn The Rocks or Neat?â Your brow raises and you tilt your head.Â
âThat even a bloody question? Neat.â You snort, splaying your hands before you grab the bottle as he watches you blankly.Â
âSorry, it's kind of my job to ask.â Your hand shifts and you pour a reasonable amount into the glass, knowing exactly when to stop. As you shift the bottle away, you leave it on the bar top and gently push the beverage to him as his gloved fingers take it up. You repress a small smile at the matching bone gloves to go with the detailing on his balaclava.
âBartenders always have this much attitude?â The glass is kept in front of his person, carefully held in his large grip.Â
Moving back, you go to lean on the back counter. This night was quickly taking an interesting turn. âOnly if theyâre me.â You sigh. âYou have a name, then, Brown-Eyes?âÂ
The individual snorts at the title, but his eyes narrow on you at the same time as if he was held hesitant at the ability for you to make him. He had an air of casual tension around him, like a dog on a thin leash that can only just manage to meet others and stay his fangs.Â
Danger, you pinpoint. The man felt like danger. A riptide; surface tension.
Then why was it that you felt more and more intrigued by the second?
âSimon Riley,â he eases, staring with those numb eyes of his before he tips the glass slightly your way. With the thumb on the same hand that holds the bourbon, he hooks it under his face covering and pulls it up until he can connect the glass to his lips and take down a sip as his Adamâs apple bobs in a swallow.Â
On the way back, his thumb drags the fabric back to its previous position as if nothing had happened. The image of pale skin and stubble sticks with you, and your eyes shift away quickly without you realizing it as the glass is returned to the counter.Â
âWell, Simon Riley,â you mutter, âwelcome to nowhere.â
The man hums, eyes looking you over in a single glance before the gaze shifts to the wall behind your head. He says nothing, and the door opens to the next three familiar customers as you move to take their order. As you slip out from behind the barrier, you grumble under your breath before you slip past Simon to the corner booth.Â
âFor the record, Riley, I do enjoy seeinâ that old place getting taken on. Donât run it into the ground, would you? And if you need a fresh coat of paint, for the love of all things holy, donât go down to the Schafersonsâ place, you come right to me.âÂ
Walking casually, you greet the three ladies from the downtown library with a smirk and an easy comment about if their husbands knew they were out so late, to which you promptly got cursed out on good faith. Sharing a few chuckles, you get them started on what they need, all the while feeling those brown orbs now following subtly from the side of their sockets, intrigued.Â
Simon wasnât sure what to make of you, and the same could be said about this town as a whole. A woman with such a future trapped behind her eyes, adventure in her blood, why were you here in a place with nothing promised for it except dying businesses and old faces? This was a place where people came to hang up the coat, not try and rip it off of its peg.Â
The children born here with ambitions leave, that was the common denominator. Even Simon could see that. But you? Here you were.Â
The man peels his eyes away, taking up his glass again and re-hooking his thumb to his mask. Amber liquid seeps into his mouth, pulling the scars on his lips and cheeks as he swallows it down as easily as water. The bourbon pools in his stomach, sending its honied effects to the back of his mind; it would take much more to get drunk, but that wasnât what Simon was looking for.Â
Perhaps he was just out tonight wondering why heâd left the military for a mechanicâs job and come out hereâasking anything for a sign that this was the right decision even as his head echoed with the screams and the gunfire.Â
And then heâd seen you standing in front of the fuckinâ worst mechanics shop heâd ever seen that heâd signed the property deed for not three hours ago. Hell, he hadnât even looked at the place before buying itâPrice was responsible for the official financial actions, and the man had made him swear that it was worth it.
But fuck, heâd just needed a way out of the city. Too loud, too unpredictable in that previous shop of theirs right by the busy street. MacTavish and Garrick had been easy to convince; theyâd all served together before and had no family over here either.Â
A new start thousands upon thousands of miles away.Â
Your head pulls up from where you chat with the librarians, hearing the slam of the door as the draft wafts in from outsideâa small breeze has picked up.Â
Inside walks in your very ruffled, and very well-pleased, coworker, Celina Bell.Â
She brushes down her top and black skirt, blinking around with blown pupils until her eyes lock on you. A poisonous smile meets your eyes as you raise a brow slowlyâLord, if this girl didnât realize that fucking your Ex over some workplace squabble wasnât something to be proud of, she was really a lost cause.Â
Simon only glances over his shoulder before turning back around and tapping his fingers against his glass absentmindedly.Â
âYou alright?â You ask out of due diligence, sparing the ladies an apology look for them being interrupted.Â
âBetter than alright,â Celina chuckles, walking over with a limp in her step. âJust scored Graham Whitaker.â She fake pauses, blinking as if in realization that a child would know was taking the piss. Your face is stuck in the expression of boredom. âWaitâŠyou two were involved for a few years, right? Oh, Iâm really sorryâI had no clue.â
âYeah,â you look her up and down and blink at the disheveledness. âSure. Quite the score.â A pause, her lips pulling back into that smug smirk that reminds you of a weasel. Yet your next words leave her face devoid of blood. âYou know he got Chlamydia from Stacy Green a week ago, right?â
A pin could be heard dropping. Brown eyes are firmly stuck to the scene, unsure what to make of it. The ladies stifle their laughter.
â...W-what?â
âYâknow,â you motion a hand to her lower body, walking past her back to the bar. âSTD. Chlamydia. Results inââ
âI know what the fuck an STD is, you bitch.â
âWoah,â you whistle, âlanguage.â Your body returns to the counter as loud stuttering is left behind you, the frantic patting of a pocket to look for a phone before enraged feet rush to the exit. âNeed a refill, Riley?â
âIt can wait,â Simon utters slowly. The door slams shut.
You chuckle, shrugging. âAlright, suit yourself.âÂ
The man takes the names you drop and files them away, slotting them into his mental database for when he needs to work with these people. Yet, thereâs already a sour impression just off of comments alone. Who better to get your news from than a bartender?Â
You know everyone's dirty little secrets.
You diligently serve the drinks to the librarians, placing them down carefully before Simon once more has a re-filled glass of his drink. He moves it slightly up in a cheer and gives you a stare as you wipe your hands with a clean rag.
âSeems you know everything âround âere.â His accent is what draws you in, and you find yourself eager to hear more from him.Â
âIâm easy to talk to,â you respond, shrugging and leaning on the counter a foot or two away as you both watch the other. A smirk overtakes your features. âAnd I am the one that gives people the drinks.â
âSo, what Iâm hearing,â Simon raises a brow. âIs that you get âem dunker than a man on his execution date.âÂ
You click your tongue, tilting your head in a teasing manner while maintaining a serious face.Â
âAfraid youâll spill your secrets, Riley?âÂ
His eyes flash at you, and his lips flicker into a smirk you can hear in his voice.Â
âItâll take more than two glasses of Bourbon to get me talking, Sunshine.âÂ
Your face shifts away, but the sudden fight with a smile leaves you nearly breathless.Â
Who is this man?
âWhy are you here,â your question meets his ears as he takes back the last of his drink, stomach filled for the night and his searching, for the moment, abated.Â
The glass meets the bar top.Â
He grunts. âNeeded a drink.â
Your lips pull in annoyance. âYou know what I mean. Youâre terrible at answering questions.â
âHm, maybe.â
âFuck off,â you grumble, shaking your head as a low chuckle makes your insides swirl.Â
A stack of bills is placed on the counter, and the man stands, grabbing the hood of his black sweatshirt and pulling it up. His gloved hands go to the pockets of his leather jacket with a roll of his wide shoulders. From under the hood, the white of the painted mask glares out from under the shadows that now shroud him.Â
You both sneak a glance at the mechanic's shopâa clear view from the front window.Â
âSee you around, then?â Your head is tilted at him, blinking. You hum under your breath. âIâm going to keep asking you why you showed up in this town, Riley, and I wonât stop until I get an answer.â
Simon quirks a brow, eyes glinting with interest. When was the last time someone had spoken to him like this outside of his boys?
âLook forward to it,â he utters slowly. With a blink and one more dead look, heâs already out the front door and walking back down the streetâdisappearing like a ghost the same way he had appeared.Â
Picking up his cash and counting through it, the librarians across the way snicker, and one calls out, âSo, the new mechanic, huh?â
âOne more peep and Iâm doubling your tab.â
ButâŠyou did have to admit, he had been charmingâŠhadnât he? At least someone here could juggle your attitude.
â
Three days pass with no sighting of Simon Riley, but just because you didnât see him doesnât mean you werenât witness to his aftermath.Â
The shop across the street was practically fixed up while you were asleep.Â
Where there had been overgrown grass, there was now a cut lawn getting watered by the reach of an angry sprinkler. The fast movement of the spray reaches the sidewalk that was, somehow, still there under all that trash hiding away like a criminal. Stray bricks are gone and stacked into a pile as you pause outside the bar, staring wide-eyed with your breath caught in your throat in the late morning air.Â
The ivy over your mural was peeled backâthat faded wolfâs gaze locking with yours, unyielding to the calls of time as its canid body stool as a silent sentinel.Â
But, on the third day, as youâre going on break before the night sets in, you manage to not only see Simon again but meet two of the other men whoâd moved here.
You pick up your feet and jog across the street, hopping the curb as you blink, impressed at the open garage with its fixed and oiled bay door. Inside it was still dustyâremnants of what was left behind in the corners and scattered. But it was getting there. Quickly.Â
âDidnât know Simon was goinâ to sign on such a piece of rusted shiteâwhereâs the fuckinâ outlets?â Gritted Scottish. You stick your hands into your pockets and enter the large opening.Â
âIf I remember,â you speak, finding the two men standing slightly off to the side as the bulkier one with a mohawk carries a series of extension cords. Cobalt and brown eyes dart to you in shockâthe second man of darker complexion sharing a glance with the other in swift confusion. âWhen you manage to find them, theyâll all be burst.âÂ
Blank stares are sent your way.Â
âKids would come by and watch âem spark when they were bored. No one really cared enough to stop them.â A clearing of a throat meets your ears as you study the room more.Â
It was small, with only one main garage for all the repairs, but that wasnât new to you. The motorcycles were, though.Â
Five in total all parked and resting next to one another near the back wall, all in varying shades of black and gray. Your lips twitch at the sight, imagining your late-night acquaintance riding one of themâyou dare say that it fit him quite well, and you werenât that surprised at all by this.
Biker mechanics. It fits the script.Â
âWhoâs this then?â The Scot asks you, raising a brow as a friendly smirk pulls his mouth up. âCanât remember bookinâ any repairs today, Maâam, might have to wait a few more days before we get it all up and runninâ.â
âI can see. No, I work just across the street,â you spare a friendly smile.Â
âSo youâre the bartender? The bartender.â The second man speaks, grinning kindly as he searches through a toolbox on a small table. He hums, looking playful. âSo thatâs why Ghost was gone so long.âÂ
Ghost� Did they mean Simon?
The skeletal accents suddenly make far more sense.
âJohnny MacTavish,â A hand is leveled out ahead of you, and you take it casually with a muttering of your own name. âSoapâs just fine as well.âÂ
Your brow quirks, but you only share an amused nod.
The other individual stands and makes his way over, tall and leaner as to where Soapâs more blatant strength is.Â
âKyle GarrickâGaz. Pleasure.âÂ
âJust came over to introduce myself,â your hand shifts back into your pockets as you motion with your head back to the bar. âIâm on my break.âÂ
âAh,â Soapâs hands move the cables he holds as he loops them into a more storable shape vertically around his elbow and palm. âLast one to meet then is Priceâmanâs in town gettinâ lunch for us,â he grunts under his breath. âHopefully a damn set of zip-ties, too.â
âZip-ties, Mate?â Gaz breathes a chuckle with a fix of the backward ball cap on his head. âC-4 would bloody help more. At least then we can have a clean starting point.âÂ
âI think weâre fresh out of C-4, unfortunately,â you huff a laugh, motioning around as the men smirk at you, Johnny snorting a chuckle. âYou guys have done a pretty good job so far. I canât remember when it looked this nice in here.â
âWell, weâre honored, Bonnie,â Soap tilts his head as he ties off the cord with one of the ends. âMakinâ me blush.â
âIf Simon had just looked at the place before buying it, we might have been able to open sooner.â Gaz huffs, thinning his lips as he glances over the broken window and the peeling paintâthe door to the main lobby that has a punched dent in it. âCouldnât be worse.â
âWell then it can only get better,â you breathe, shrugging.Â
Gaz huffs affectionately. âNot wrong there, then.â
You lean forward, tilting your head. âYouâll find I rarely am.â
âSecond time youâve snuck on,â a Manchester accent scares you once more, head snapping to the side as the light spills in from the garage opening. âThis a pattern, Sunshine?â
Simonâs brows are raised as those October eyes lock with yours. Gaz and Soap share a look, smirking before the Scot peels off to find a place to store his belongings.Â
âWhere have you been?â Gaz asks as you glare at the masked man for once again coming up behind you.Â
A bag is presented, leaning off three fingers as a glance gets thrown past you.Â
âDown the street. Needed these made.â The bag is tossed and Kyle catches it easily.Â
You watch as the crinkly plastic is opened and the dark fabric of four black pairs of overalls is produced, each embroidered with their respective names.Â
âWhatâs wrong with the old ones?â Johnny pipes up, brows furrowed.Â
âLooks like you got fuckinâ mugged in âem.â Simon slides his attention back to you as Johnny curses with a glint of amusement in his blues.Â
âArenât open yet.â Your face peels back to a stiff annoyance.Â
âI can see that, Riley.â You motion to the other men. âI was being polite.â
He grunts while walking past, muttering through a brief smirk, âDoubt that.âÂ
Your jaw slackens, but you only growl and hold your tongue as you glance the mechanic over. He still had his leather jacket, but a loose shirt took the place of a hoodie.Â
âYou ready to answer my question?â Simon locks those eyes with yours from over his shoulder before sliding up to the black form of one of the motorcycles.Â
Visible to the naked eye, you take in the lack of fairings around the frameâeyeing the pure black metal of the entire engine from any angle that you might move to youâd still be able to see. It was nice. Perfect, even; damn expensive too. While the thought was enticing, you canât imagine Simon riding itâhe seemed more rugged, moreâŠclassy.Â
âNegative.â You roll your eyes, but Soap speaks before you can retort.Â
âFinally takinâ out the CB1000R, Ghost? âBout time.â The brute throws a blank look at the Scot as Gaz utters to you a few feet away before a casual ânoâ is leveled out through the space.
âHe got it months ago,â Kyleâs eyes crinkle. âCanât seem to take it out for a ride yet. No one knows what heâs waiting on.â
âCanât say I blame him,â your words confide. âItâs beautiful.â
âIt was a fucking fortuneâno use collecting dust is what I say.â You hum, shifting back to Simon who taps the seat of the CB1000R before moving past it to an older cruiser with dents and dirt along the sides. This was more him you thought. Rugged and more dated than the first; something you use on long rides to nowhere.
âMaybe heâs just waiting for a special occasion,â you guess.
âBetter get on with it.â Gaz moves away with a shrug and a huff.Â
Your lips pull in a small smile, and you watch Simon pull keys from his jacket and insert them as he moves to straddle the larger body of the cruiser, easing into it slowly. Staring, you think about how far that bike could take youâwhat you could see with it on the open road of possibilities and whipping air. Where would you go? Anywhere. Anywhere and everywhere.Â
Eyes shifting away from the motorcycle, they widen as they softly meet Simonâs ownâlocked for a moment in a staring contest. His lids barely pull down, studying something. You clear your throat and exhale.
Sensing your company was most likely a hindrance at this point, you turn to leave as the engine flaresâyou wave easily behind your back with a call of well-wishes.
âCome have a drink one time, boys, yeah? I need stories that come from strangers for once.â A ruckus of âaffirmativesâ and âwill do, Maâamsâ sparks up from Johnny and Kyle as you exit to the roar of the motorcycle behind you, your feet kicking a stray rock into the grass before you make it to the curb.Â
Before you can cross, a steel body blocks your path.Â
âIâll be needing a drink later tonight, then.â Simon watches from atop his seat, one booted foot to the ground to steady himself as he comes to a slow halt. His fingers curl the handles, twitching.
âLet me guess,â you tilt your head, smirking, âBourbon?â
âA woman after my own heart,â he draws numbly, October browns as dead as mulch. As dead as dirt.
âAnd do you have a heart, Simon Riley?â You question, blinking at him as your mind tells you to walk away. Your brain doesnât need a repeat of Grahamâyou already had enough problems on your plate right now besides some attraction to this stranger. This push and pull made your heart jerk, even when you know it shouldnât.
Youâd only just met him.
The man hums, thighs shifting on the black metal frame. He says the easiest answer he can.Â
âA cold one.âÂ
Pushing on the ground, he takes off down the road back into the main town for whatever errand he was on this time. Your eyes follow until the figure is no more than a memory of the smell of oil and the metallic tinge of caution.
â
You hated the smell of cigarette smoke.Â
Like a pregnant womanâs aversion to the scent of meat, you grew nauseous at the very hint of cheap tobacco and paper on the airâloathed the burn of it. It had to do with your Ex, of course. The man had been a habitual chain smoker, lighting up one after the other until you had to leave his house entirely to puke on the front lawn. If you thought about it hard enough, you could still taste the ash on your tongue from when he kissed you after lighting up.Â
But that was only one of the reasons youâd never moved in with him despite being together for yearsâthe cheating was the other problem.Â
Girl after girl, broken promise after broken promise, youâd still held onto him as if he deserved it. Hell, all that Graham Whitaker deserved were the copious amounts of STDs he probably had after sleeping with as many women as he could to try and get back at you. You didnât have ample reason to ban him from the barâhim or his loud-mouth friends, you should sayâso the problem, like a bad rash, persisted. Cars following you after work and all.Â
But, the here, the now.
Simon had, in fact, come in for that drink that nightâjust as he had for the last week up until the grand opening of the boysâ shop. Youâd both spoken throughout these encounters and formed some sarcastic and sly-looked bond that the other locals couldnât understand. You had even learned about his military service.Â
The both of you were justâŠdifferent, people said. No one else really argued with it.Â
You finally met John Price before the party that youâd heard from Simon that Soap and Gaz had been eager to host for the townââcome meet the bastards that bought that old shitty building and see how they fixed it up all by themselves. You should come and give us your money.â
It was there that a proposal was offered.Â
âSimon says you told him to come to you about paint.â John was late thirties, keeping a well-trimmed beard with a mustache that was the same shade of brunette as his head of hair. Tall, as well as built, he had found you as you were closing up the bar early for the town-wide party, Celina having already slipped out.Â
You were dressed in a long skirt and a nice shirt for the occasion.Â
âJohn Price, Iâd imagine,â you comment, stuffing your keys into your pocket as your purse hangs from your shoulder. A throaty grunt tells you all you need to know as you move down the step. âYeah, I did say that. Do you need some?â You look over his shoulder to the still peeling color on the outside of the bricks as the men are dragging out folding chairs and long tables. There was the clatter of laughter and loud calls.Â
Johnâs blue eyes shift behind him, and he raises a brow slowly.Â
âThinkinâ weâd just hire you,â a side-eye. âIf youâd be interested.âÂ
That was a surprise.Â
You begin walking across the street, the man beside you and awaiting your answer.Â
âHire me?â Your voice asks, but you arenât against the idea. âHow do you know Iâll be any good at it,â you chuckle in question.Â
âSimon says he found your initials next to the muralâthe wolf.â Your feet pause, stuttering for a second before you catch yourself. The blood on your face stops its circulation in shock. âNot a bad piece, then.â John grunts. â...Think you can do a skull and wings?âÂ
So, you sat with your sketchbook in front of the wall, a portable camping chair below your bare feet as your legs folded under you. Your slip-on sneakers rest in the green grass, kicked off with a sigh. Blinking, the chatter and mumble from the party surround you in a sheen of community and calmness. You can pinpoint every voice, every story being re-told as if new news when it goes in one ear and out the other like a breeze on the wind.Â
Humming under your breath as the sun is low in the sky, you hear the silent feet still from over your shoulder. A smirk flickers your lips.
âSnooping, Riley?âÂ
âMy building.â He grumbles, âSeeinâ what you plan to do to it.â
You snort, looking over your shoulder and smiling. âIf I recall, youâre the one who took up my offer and told Price about it.âÂ
Simon was dressed in cargos and a compression shirt pushed up to his elbows, the swell of his forearms on full display along with the scars andâŠtattoos. You blink at them, the swirl of black skulls and guns; barbed wire and dog tagsâthe dark images that fit him as his motorcycles did on his left limb. Brown eyes flicker from yours to the painted wolf.
âGood at that,â the man says, balaclava shifting.Â
Your expression slowly shifts to something far softer than you can remember it ever being; inside of your chest, your heart tightens.Â
âThank you.âÂ
He levels you, the corners of his eyes easing out of the numb nothingness to show something akin to shielded affection. Molten sunlight on the side of his face, making the color of his irises glow amber. Simon nods to your sketchbook, clearing his throat.Â
âI able to see it, then, or is it some secret?â You huff.
âCome here,â your hand motions, palm brushing away eraser shavings as your fingers get stained with graphite. The shadow comes closer, leaning over you as the scent of oil pools in your gut. You blink at the side visage, swiftly looking back down to your sketchbook as a slight wind ruffles your skirt.Â
âPrice was talking about a skull with wings beside itâlater on he made mention of a sword through the top.â While you explain the concept, you inadvertently study the tattoos on the flesh beside you, one scarred hand coming out to lightly grab the armrest of your chair as Simon leans even closer.Â
As your face begins burning, breath caught in your throat, he blinks down at the image as he looms, head tilting.Â
Simon breathes, chest rising and falling as his eyes go far off. You know the symbol means something, though you also have a good guess that itâs related to this groupâs time in the service.Â
He hums, and you see his lips open, the rough grate of his vocal cords as he begins to form words for you.Â
âItâsââ
Your name is loudly called from across the way, both Simonâs and your heads snapping back as you both realize exactly how close you two have become. The stealing of the otherâs warmth like wraiths of hidden longing ceases when you wrench your attention to the man you wished would leave you alone.Â
Graham raises the dark bottle of a cheap beer from the dollar store in your direction, walking over. Now, your Ex wasnât anything spectacular, but even you had to admit it was the best you could do around here if you didnât want to date men only five years from the grave. Graham was tall, strong, and heavy-willed like a bear. In the day hours, he worked as a farmhand down the way.Â
Your body tenses, eyes going tight. Simon sees.
âWhoâs this,â he asks slowly, fingers twitching.Â
âEx,â you mutter, grimacing. âHeâs going to make a scene.â
Already gazes had started drifting over, conversations lapsing into mute silence as orbs shifted to three different individuals all stuck in the same storm.Â
Simon grunts, standing up to his full height and crossing his arms over his chest, legs shifting below him and thighs trading weight. His moving leaves half of you kept firmly behind him and your eyes study his stance as you notice that fact. You blink, and feel something stir in your ribcage, blooming like a flower.Â
âHey, Bartender!â Graham takes a cigarette out of his pocket and lights it as his fingers fumble over the neck of the bottle. âThough Iâd seen you over here missing all the action. Nothingâs changed I see.âÂ
Your face pulls in with disgust.
âGraham, youâre drunk. Go home.â It was trueâhis words were slurring, his limbs loose with drink. He smirks at you, taking a drag of his cancer stick and puffing it directly at you. Your hand snaps to your nose to try and cover the horrendous smell.
âNah,â he breathes. âIâm here with Celina, seeâs a pretty nice lookinâ broad donât you think? Not as good of a fuck as you, but, hey, I take what I get.â His expression shifts to hidden anger and Simon takes a heavy step forward before he can finish the rest of his sentence, hands shifting to grasp his biceps harder. Those browns simmer with low feralityâa warning.
The air gets heavy.
âPretty good little lie you spread about me gettinâ that shit from Stacy.â
âThat was a lie?â You drawl lazily and watch your Exâs eyes flash with rage. But he should know you donât take shit from him anymore. âOh,â your fingers tighten over your flesh and make you sound stuffy. âMaybe I heard wrong, youâre right. You donât have Chlamydia.â You glare. âIt was Gonorrhea, wasnât it?â
âBitch!â Graham barks, moving forward, but before anyone can realize it, Simon already has him shoved back with a stone-like push to your Exâs chest.
âNot smart, Mate.â The former soldier utters, arms falling back to his sides. The party by this point had entirely halted in sharp gasps and bated breath.Â
Grahamâs beer bottle shatters as it hits the ground, the grass not able to absorb the way it slams down to dirt. Your wide eyes stay stuck on Simonâs figure, whoâs now entirely hiding your view of your Exâthe wide expansive back that shows the writhe of his shoulder blades and how his spine shifts under the tight shirt.Â
Your hand lowers from your face.
âWhat the fuck?!â Graham spits. âYou made me drop my fucking drunk, man!â
âBe thankful that was all, yeah?â Simonâs dead voice is a cold chill on a winter evening. Any sane person would turn and leave immediately. âCut your losses.â
No one breaths for a long minute, and you can see the other new mechanics inching closer from the sides. All of the locals are deep into the scene, fingers to their lips in surprise. Thereâs going to be talk tomorrowâthe bar will be busy.Â
âGraham,â you try to sway the pig-headed man once more from behind Simon. âGo home.â
âSo this is what I get,â your Ex spits, head trying to peek over the larger manâs frame to look at you. Simonâs hands clench into tight fists. âIâm with you for years and this is how you treat me? I gave you everything!â
âThose are years that I never want to think about again,â you say with a stiff finality. âAnd itâll be a cold day in hell before you ever see me worrying about where you are or who you fuck.âÂ
Knowing that the situation is over and done with, Simon takes a single step forward and leans into the man.Â
âYou heard âer,â he levels, unblinking. âScatter.â Simonâs accent made it sound more like a threat, but maybe it was.Â
Graham growls and takes a long drag from his cigarette, staring Simon down.Â
âFuck you, you piece of shit.â But all he does is turn sharply on his heel and stomp away, crossing the street to his truck before he opens and closes the door with a violent slam. From across the way, Celina gasps and calls his name, but the engine has already started and Graham is down the road with a roar from the exhaust.Â
Everyone is watching you and Simon, and the staring peels back your skin until Simon grumbles and grabs your arm.Â
Blinking in shock, he only gives you a moment to steady yourself and slip on your shoes before he drags you inside the garage. You huff and look up at him as you close your sketchbookâtrying to not look at those tattoos again. Your finger wanted to trace themâto study the ink down to the layer of skin where it ended and became red flesh and weeping veins. How far up his left arm did they go? Did they only stay at his forearm, or up to his shoulder?
Inside he lets you go, head slightly tilted to the outside as the sounds of hushed whispering pick back up; hurried and filled with electricity. Simon grunts, blinking.Â
A heated silence encompasses the two of you, and as your eyes lock, neither can speak for a moment.Â
âSorry about that,â you glance at your feet. âShould have guessed heâd show up and do something.â
âDonât apologize,â Simon crosses his arms again, boots righting themselves. âThatâs not your fault that some bastard canât act right, yeah? Forget about it, itâs all nothing.â
âYou shouldnât have to be involvedââ
âBloody cut it out, would you?â Simon glares, brows pulling in. âI said itâs nothing.â
He was very passionate about this, it seemed.
You sigh, shaking your head before a tiny chuckle makes the mechanic blink in confusion. âSuppose I can call you my guard dog now, huh?â
âPiss off,â you laugh, covering your mouth with your hand while your eyes narrow down. Simon's own crinkle along the edges, lowering his hands to push them into his pockets.Â
A second leads into another, but neither of you has any particular interest in re-joining the others, even if Soap is smugly passing looks and Price smirks into his drink. Gaz fixes his hat while he tips back a beer bottle, hiding a glint of amusement.Â
Simonâs voice lowers, seeming to hover closer.Â
âYou alright, then?â You nod, face heating up as you stare at his shadow-tainted visage and how the face-covering obscured him from your eager eyes.Â
âIâm used to his drama. I have no problem giving it back.â Simon hums, October browns glinting like Halloween lights.Â
âSeems so.â He pauses, and pushes out a joking, âNot surprised, Sunshine.â
âGood, Brown-Eyes,â you lean back on your heels and smirk. âIâd be offended if you were, with all weâve been talking to one another.âÂ
âGetting familiar, Bartender?â
âOf course, Mechanic. Havenât you heard?â He tilts his head, prodding you on as his eyes soften that candle-like smidge. âI keep everyoneâs secretsâand you still have to tell me yours.â
Simon chuffs a low chuckle, and the fabric of his mask pulls as he shakes his skull. âMaybe one day, yeah? Need to stick âround to know âem.â
Then perhaps this town was worth wasting away in. Â
â
âBastard wonât cause any problems, will he?â
âNo, no, heâs too much of a coward to try and get back at anyone. He wonât do anything.â

another silly gojo thing I wrote with pregnant reader (I was inspired by Kaliâs pregnancy announcement đ©·)
a/n- (I promise pt 3 of LTLM is coming out later today or tomorrow)
cw- pregnancy, talks of sexual situations, gojo being gojo :p
The day Satoru found out you were pregnant was a day youâll never forget.
It was a freezing morning in January and you had just finished taking down the Christmas decorations (yeah it was a few weeks after Christmas but you both were lazy) you let out a huff wiping your hands as you stared at the old cardboard boxes that housed the glittery decorations, it made you feel more emotional than usual seeing yet another year pass.
You heard the door burst open and you turned to find your husband dragging in a bunch of wires and lights, â six hundred twinkling lights taken down by your one and only!â He exclaimed, dropping the lights and using his foot to close the door, âyou sure? I couldâve sworn I heard you on the verge of using Hollow Purple.â You said playfully as you gazed lovingly at your husband.
âWhat?! No! I was of course gonna take you out of the house first!â The blue eyed male chuckled as he walked towards you immediately wrapping his arms around your waist, âI think I deserve a kiss for my bravery and perseverance.â He hummed his hands running over the slight pudge in your stomach, âDo you really?â You peered up at his face to be met with a very shocked expression, you chuckled nervously staring at his over exaggerated face.
Gojo could tell something was off for the past few days, frequent bathroom trips, slight nausea in the morning and your missed period. (He might be the strongest but heâs not the smartest) and now your cursed energy was changing he sensed it when he walked in it was almost doubled. âI mean this is the BEST way possible, let me stress BEST, are you somehow maybe- just a little bit ermm.. pregnant?â
Your mind went blank at the question, âMaybe?â You shrugged your shoulders, âit would make sense..â your mind tried to calculate the last time you and Gojo were intimate but Gojo calculated for you, âChristmas.â He said his mouth was still wide open, âyeah , maybe wrapping myself like a present wasnât the best idea.â You giggled and Satoru was quick to retort with a red face, âyou practically had nothing on! You canât blame me!â Gojo pouted, rubbing the back of his neck, âcan we go buy some tests to confirm your theory?â
About seven tests later it was confirmed, you were pregnant.
Of course tears and hugs were shared and you wanted to share the news with your friends but Gojo stopped you claiming he wanted to see how long you both could go unnoticed, he also opted to buy a camcorder to track your happy moments. It was more of a nostalgia thing. (Even while you're pregnant heâs still dramatic.)
By the time you were breaching your second trimester a lot of things changed, for worse and better, the spare room in your house was converted into a full baby room, all constructed by gojo himself since he was terrified of you getting injured. The baby room was filled with expensive baby materials and toys, âSatoru.. are you sure this isnât too much?â You stared at the room in disbelief, your hand stroking your bump, He grunted, placing a heavy box with more materials down, âWhat? Think I can go bigger?â He winked and opened the package.
âWe donât even know the gender yet? you yelled walking down the hallway to lay down.
Everyone in Satoruâs life knew something was up, he walked with more pep in his step and glowed even more than he already was.
âSo does anyone know whatâs up with Gojo-sensei?â Yuji questioned sitting on his bed, Kugusaki and Megumi on the floor visibly not listening. âDonât know, donât really care either.â Megumi deadpanned which earned a grin from Kugisaki, âNot sure Yuuji, have you tried asking his wife?â she asked, peering from her phone. âShe hasnât been around here in like months!â The pink haired boy exclaimed failing to connect the dots but Megumi did for him.
âMaybe sheâs expecting.â He shrugged it off going back to type on his phone, âWhat?! You mean they-they-â yuuji stuttered.
âYuuji they are adults, plus it would make sense right after the holidays too. So sheâd be about.."Kugisaki counted in her head, âsecond trimester?â
âYou guys are taking this a little too well?!â Yuuji exclaimed, âoh Kugisaki and I made our own theory a few weeks ago-â
âAnd you didnât tell me?!-â
Later that day you had a teary eyed pink haired teenager yapping at the door about how you didnât tell him sooner.

Together for the First Time
Feysand x reader
A/n: happy Poly week! Iâm so excited to be doing this and reading what everyone else has come up with. Today is Day 1 which is beginnings. I decided to do when Feysand and reader start being open with the Inner Circle about their relationship and of course Cassianâs inability to keep a secret. @polyacotarweek
Warnings: none
For the first time in two hundred years Cassian was actually early for a meeting with his brothers. He even had a lil pep in his step. Things were good, great even. He and Nesta were good, Nyx loved spending time with him, the family was at peace. Nothing could ruin Cassianâs day.
A giggle from inside Rhysâs office interrupted his thoughts. It sounded unfamiliar.
Creeping closer to the door Cassian finds it cracked open. Willing his massive body to be stealthy he holds his breath and listens.
That sweet giggle rings through the room again along with Rhys and Feyreâs laughter. Odd. Cassian wasnât aware of any other meetings today. He was supposed to take up all of his brothersâ time today.
âAlright,â that voice. Cassian knows that voice. Where has he heard that voice?
âWe should probably go get Nyx from his nap together. Since Rhys put him down heâs going to want us.â
Cassian slightly turned his head to look through the cracked door. The sight had his jaw unhinging, practically hitting the floor. Rhys kissing Feyre then you. You, y/n! With his brother and Feyre! When on earth did this happen?
Cassian began to panic. Oh Mother, what if heâs the only one that knows? Cass wonât be able to keep his mouth shut.
As you and Feyre made your way to the door Cassian began to jog as quietly as possible around the corner. Peaking, he watched you and Feyre walk down the hall hand in hand.
Plastering himself against the wall he waits a few moments before heading into Rhysâs office. Composing himself he enters the office ready to give Rhys his update about the Illyrian army.
âââ
Rhys thought about his brother's odd behavior as he followed the sound of his son's playful giggles. What on earth had Cassian so jumpy and tense?
He shook his head forgetting all about the stressful conversation.
Upon seeing you and Feyre playing with Nyx his smile widened. Sitting on the floor Rhys began to hand his son blocks for the little village he was focused on constructing.
âAre you two sure you want to do this tonight?â You ask from your spot in the corner of the room, propped up by the mountain the size of Ramiel of Nyxâs stuffed toys.
Feyre and Rhys give you a sad look. âWhy wouldnât we be sure?â Rhys coos at you.
You shrug at them, looking away absentmindedly playing with the wing of a stuffed owl. âWhat if the family doesnât accept us, me?â
They move to either side of you, squishing you in a side hug. âOf course they will. And even if they donât it doesnât matter.â âYouâre positive?â
âSweet girl, you are our mate. Of course we are sure.â Rhys kisses your forehead as Feyre kisses your cheek. Nyx huffs, feeling left out the small boy yells, âHey! No fair, I want kisses too!â He throws his small body onto the three of you. Knocking you back into the stuffed animals in a fit of giggles.
âââ
Dinner started with light conversation and a delicious appetizer thanks to Elain. You sit with Rhys and Feyre at the end of the table. Your chair very close to the two of them.
Cassian felt like he was going to explode. He has kept this gods damned secret to himself all day. Another new record.
As the main course appears with a wave of Rhysâs hand he clears his throat. The familyâs attention turns to him. All happy and content faces.
âFeyre and I have exciting news to share with you.â The two look at you, bright smiles on their faces as the bond hums between the three of you.
Anticipation coursed through the room as Rhys grasped your hand, giving it a loving squeeze.
âWe have discovered a triad bond. Between myself, Feyre, and y/n.â He said happily, beaming at his friends. You couldnât look at them. Holding your breath your eyes dart around everyoneâs faces.
You found nothing but love and acceptance. Mor raised her wine glass, âCongratulations! This is rare, but wow! You deserve all the happiness in the world.â
The rest raise their glasses cheering, âhere, here!â
At that hour anxiety was relieved. It seemed so was Cassianâs. After taking a huge gulp of wine Cass he breathed out the loudest sigh of relief. His head hitting the table. âThank the Mother!â Everyone looked at him, Azriel let out one of those rare laughs at his brother's antics. âCass?â Feyre asks with a chuckle.
âI saw you and y/n earlier coming out of the office, I also saw you guys in the office because I was early. Iâve been keeping this damn secret all day and thank gods you said something!â He rambled.
âWait,â Rhys looks at him with a raised brow, âyou were early?
