Emcee’s smiling, and you know this won’t end well.

It’s mischievous how she sways her hips like that, pushing through Lux’s private room like she owns it. The other dancers part for her like a school of fish as she makes her way to you, slinking away like they know something you don’t.

She plops onto your lap like you’re her throne as the swinging doors slide shut, siphoning the air from your lungs. Drapes her arms around your shoulders, gaze bleeding sin. 

Instinctively, your hands drop to her waist to brace her, and you bounce her on your lap into a more comfortable position. Sink back into the red leather cushions of the loveseat, her body sliding further up your thighs with the shift.

Her smile is infectious. Melts away your surprise, making way for a sly curve of your lips. You get a whiff of her perfume, the conditioner in her hair, as she leans close until your noses bump, hair tickling your collarbones. 

You’ve got a face full of teeth and bad intentions. Her laughter is bewitching, furling in your stomach like the smoke occupying the red-tinged atmosphere, and the other girls trickle out of the room with knowing cants to their lips over her shoulder. 

“I’ve got an idea,” she murmurs beneath the thumping music, blurring back into focus, breath fanning over your already warmed cheeks, your lips. 

You lift a brow, studying her mouth. Back to her eyes. “Really?” you reply, intrigued. Enamored.

She nods slowly, a hand slipping from your shoulder to splay against your sternum. Fingers the second button of your blouse until it slips free.

“Sylus likes you,” she says offhandedly.

You scoff, sticky, disbelieving. She must’ve been drinking, because there’s no way in hell your boss likes you like that. Not when he looks at her like she’s the center of his universe, the star he orbits in slow, methodical rotations. 

Sure, you’ve quietly pined for him for years. Followed in his shadow like an obedient mastiff, ever faithful, ever watchful. But you could never imagine him returning your affections. Not with your hands stained red and scars littering your skin.

You humor her, lips pulling. “What makes you say that?” 

Emcee laughs, throwing her head back, hair spilling off her shoulders, as if you’ve said the funniest shit. You get a look at her throat, the tendons jumping there. Your mouth waters. Thighs twitch beneath her warm weight.

You track the glide of her fingers along your cheek, the slope of your jaw, in your peripheral vision until they curl around your chin, tilting your head back, and you’re faced with irises that bubble like heated liquid. 

“Because I like you.”

You’ve barely time to process the implications on her tongue before she’s pushing it into your mouth. Soft yet insistent. Commanding in a way that leaves you fucking spinning, out of your mind, sighing all hot into her mouth, fingers tight on her hips.

She kisses like bonfires and sea sprays. Like peaches growing beneath the sun, like drive-in movies in the summer, a band-aid on nicked skin. She sucks the air from your lungs into her own body like it’s hers. You can’t get a grip on things, for she’s shifting on your lap until she’s straddling you, full thighs bracketing yours, hands cupping your cheeks to keep your face in place.

You kiss her with equal fervency. Or at least, you try to. You pull, stroke, and bunch up the back of her blouse in favor of the supple glide of her skin, lost in the wet swipe of her tongue, in the slow-weighted roll of her hips, in the husky, pleasured sounds she bleeds into your mouth.

She’s pulling at the lapels of your blazer, and you catch her cue, leaning forward to help her tear the offending garment off your shoulders. You pulse beneath her, her mouth slanting possessively over yours, fingers threading into your hair, pulse roaring, nipples unbearably tight. 

Emcee tears away from the hot suction of your mouth with a sticky click, and you catch a glimpse of her lips glossed with spit in the low light. She blisters your chin with pecks before she finds her way to your neck. Sucks and nibbles on your throat, tongue licking out to ease welting skin, before she’s at it again—a vampire trying to siphon your life force through your skin. 

You exhale, craning your neck back, eyes sliding shut. You don’t know what you’ve done to warrant such treatment. But you don’t deter it, fingers curling around her ass to encourage her to grind against you. And she’s ruthless in her assault, bearing down on your lap, pussies dragging across each other, drawing the sweetest little noise from your throat. A laugh, disbelieving, breathy.

She busies herself with pulling your blouse buttons free as her mouth seals around your pulse point, sucking, licking, wide, wet. 

You don’t know how long you’ve been at this—making out with your partner, your charge, like some hormonal teen. But your head lolls forward, the space beyond her shoulder blurring and bending until you’re able to make out discernible shapes and colors through the haze, and, oh shit— 

“Really?” rolls a voice so deep, so enthralling, it disturbs the dust particles around you. Like the crackle of a fire burning through the underbrush, and you feel it curdling in your chest. 

Shock ripples through you once you put things together. Cold mortification. You sit up, Emcee not at all perturbed by his entry, by your rigidness, her fingers crawling over your sides and down to your hips after she’s pushed your shirt open, baring your torso to the crisp air.

Your mouth spills open, a slurry of excuses on your tongue, face heated. 

Sylus watches the pair of you from the bridge of his nose, arms crossed over a broad chest, finger tapping his bicep, hip cocked out like an impatient parent. He quirks an offended brow, lips thinned with mild irritation, and he’s a dangerous, dark cutout of power amid the steady scrawl of smoke. Satan incarnate, limned by Lux’s customary red glow, the columns casting ominous shadows across his face, that right eye glowing a corrupted shade of scarlet. 

You wince when Emcee sucks on your shoulder, the wet sound of it jarring, and a pitiful noise is pinched from your throat. Before you can offer an explanation, beg for your life, Sylus sighs, dropping his hands at his sides, seemingly resigned. He crosses the room in measured strides, like a panther prowling through a jungle, not once releasing you from the intoxicating pull of his gaze.

The cushions on the loveseat dip beneath his weight when he plops beside you, draping a long arm along the backrest, still staring like he’s witnessing the ultimate betrayal. What audacity you two must have, getting along without him.

You watch with a constricted throat as he snatches up the whiskey glass, stained with condensation, you’d been nursing earlier, dumping its contents down his throat in one go.

He scowls like a child who didn’t get his way after he sets the glass down with a definitive clack. And finally, finally, with your cheeks in her hands, Emcee draws back, face smooshed up against yours, smile wicked, playful. All teeth and sin, like a youth caught doing something they were clearly warned against.

Your pulse thunders in your ears. Mouth hovers around words that never come. Sylus could kill you with a snap of his fingers for touching his girl like this. For being so brazen in his club, in his territory, getting all handsy without his permission. 

You flinch, anticipating your demise. But it doesn’t come, and you peek an eye open, surprised to see he’s redirected his ire to the little temptress in your lap.

There’s something in their staredown. A quiet exchange you’re not in on as they study each other’s faces, brows and mouths twitching as if they’re inwardly mulling over something together. A war of the minds, a muted battle, almost like telepathy, and you’re their unwilling hostage. 

You feel like prey between two predators. Carrion waiting to be picked clean, hands stiff and wide around Emcee’s waist. She giggles again, her breasts warm and doughy as they push up against yours, and you cast her a warning look. This is no time to be laughing. No time to taunt the Devil when your life's on the line.

Sylus’ gaze slides to you, and you’re stricken. Something cold spills into your belly, branching down to occupy your nether regions at the weight his eyes carry. They’re hooded. Slip into a mysterious shade of garnet as he tilts his head down to scrutinize you, lips slightly parting, brows pinched in the inner corners. 

You blink wildly when, in one fluid motion, Sylus snatches Emcee from your lap onto his. You’re remiss of the warmth of her body despite the moment, watching wide-eyed as Sylus tugs her close to nip at her throat.

She snorts, burying her fingers in his collar, clinging to him as he dips her back to bite her shoulder. 

You feel like you shouldn’t be here. Like you’re impeding on something intimate, a glacial spike of disappointment lancing through you. But those eyes slide to you again, punching the air from your lungs, petrifying you. And you can’t recall a time you’ve ever seen him so…

Ravenous? Needy? Towards you?

There is no warning. No preamble when long digits curl around the nape of your neck, when rigid features pan in. He tugs you to him, sealing his lips to yours, tongue probing the wet cavern of your mouth, swallowing up the surprised little noise you make. 

Your shoulders drop once the shock peters. And you know you’ve lost your shit because you’re kissing him back. Your boss. Your employer. The focal point of your affections, your fantasies. You’re kissing him, tangling your tongues, pushing a breath into his mouth, tearing your fingers through his silken locks.

He groans into your mouth as if he’s waited lifetimes to kiss you. To experience you like this, and Emcee’s like a little imp, snickering as she occupies her fingers with unbuttoning his shirt, with sinking her teeth into his ear, dragging them across his lobe.

Sylus pulls away, lips imparting on a journey down your neck, blazing a path opposite where Emcee branded you. He sinks his teeth into your collarbone, and you toss your head back for the second time that night, breath all shaky, mind turning to smog. 

He alternates between kissing you and Emcee, and the positions are awkward as he tries his best to hold you both in the wide span of his arms on his lap. Tries his damndest to divvy up the attention, never leaving either of you enough time to catch your breath. 

You’re on your knees now on the cushions, lips sealed around his throat once Emcee’s set his pretty, warm ivory skin free. She’s opposite you, licking up his neck, along his jaw, and you pulse when he releases a shuddering breath, voice all ragged, pretty lashes sweeping over inflamed cheeks.

He’s gripping you both. Palms full of ass as the pair of you render him speechless with the devious scrape of your teeth, hands smoothing down his sculpted chest, his stomach, to knead the thick of him pulsing in his pants.

You part every so often from the salty tang of his skin to kiss Emcee, tongues wriggling, messy, giggling. Sylus humps into your kneading palms when you get too distracted, sighing so pretty, voice so sexy, so guttural, so needy. 

He’s leaning towards you now, ingesting you with those dangerous eyes before he pushes you down. Eases you onto your back, and Emcee’s crawling off his lap so he can moor you to the loveseat with his weight.

He’s kissing you again before you can catch your breath. Like snuffed out hearth fires, like the shifting gears of a muscle car, like the welcomed burn of brandy at the back of your throat. He notches himself between your splayed open legs, rolling his hips until the thick of him throbs against your swollen labia, and you see stars.

He’s commanding in everything he does. A steady, comforting pressure, swallowing you whole with overwhelming heat and the meticulous stroke of his palms. And you feel you’re dreaming, pulling at his neck, his shoulders, your body undulating like the lazy lap of waves against him. 

You almost forget she’s in the room—the source of this debauchery. Almost, until she’s maneuvering herself behind you on the loveseat, settling your head onto her lap, petting through your hair, laughing so sweet. 

Sylus flows like smoke, perching himself on sturdy palms to kiss her over you. And where you should feel left out, jealous of their unspoken bond, you burn, watching their mouths fuse, their tongues dance, hearing the sounds of their pleasured sighs taking place overhead.

He returns his attention to you, forgoing your mouth to brand your throat with kisses, down your shoulder, towards the swell of one breast. 

You arch against his mouth when he bites down, eyes hooded, peering up at the beauty overtop you. She’s all smiles, messy hair, swollen lips, before she angles herself down to steal the taste of your lips. And she’s got your nipples between her thumbs and forefingers, twisting through the lacy drag of your bra. 

You bite your lip, so deliciously out of it. The attention’s too much, the scenery hazy, your mind slowly disconnecting itself from your body, ascending.

Sylus is on a mission, blistering kisses down the ripple of your rib cage, groaning with each press of his lips like you’re a meal worth savoring. Down, down, down he ventures, teeth scraping the meat of your belly near your navel, before he lines the stretch of skin just above the cut of your slacks with reverent kisses. 

You lift your hips to help him pull your slacks off once he’s unlatched your belt and snatched the button free. And you can’t focus with his lips so close to your cunt, with his breath so hot, kissing where labia meets thigh, groaning at the earthy scent permeating through your damp panties.

Emcee pulls your tits free from your bra, kneading them in lazy arcs, testing their weight, their fullness, pushing them together, occasionally swiping her thumbs over your puckered nips. 

Her gaze simmers like heated liquid when she wets her fingers with her tongue, doubling down on her nipple-pinching efforts. And you’re rocking your hips, one hand reaching up for purchase of her blouse. Something to cling to while Sylus swipes his tongue up the seam of your cunt. 

Before you can think, Emcee’s on her knees beside you on the floor, licking your nipple into her mouth, massaging your unattended breast with her free hand, gaze unyielding as she watches you like something to be devoured. A meal to be licked clean, not a morsel left to spare. 

Sylus has your panties off and flung somewhere on the stage in the room’s center. And he’s gazing at you with equal desire, drawing your thigh onto his brawny shoulder, nosing your pretty, sticky cunt. 

He breathes against your muff, the heat of his breath making you twitch and throb, and you wiggle your hips pathetically, not sure if you want his mouth on you or off. 

In hindsight, this still feels so very wrong. Sandwiched between your boss and your partner. The catalyst for your heartbreak and your envy. But is it really so wrong if they’re both here, ravaging you like a prime cut of meat, writing the most sinful words of all against your body with their mouths? With the reverent scrawl of their fingers?

“Relax, sweetheart,” Emcee coos, dragging her mouth to pay similar homage to your other nipple. “Let us take care of you for once,” she breathes around your teat, fingers sliding down your stomach to tap your swollen cunt.

Once, twice, and your hips surge off the couch. And Sylus is there with that hot, devastating mouth to catch you, groaning into you, palms cupping your ass to keep you sealed to him as he spreads you open with a sweltering, wide tongue.

Your fingers instinctively thread through his hair as you ruck your hips up, humping against his mouth, calves strained as you roll on the tips of your toes. 

A moan swells in your throat. Emcee swallows it, having abandoned your pretty tits to push her tongue into your mouth, to render you speechless. She disconnects to suck on your throat, your pulse point. Crawls back overtop you, her clothed pussy pushing into your face as she pitches herself forward to spread your labia apart for Sylus to draw your clit into his mouth.

Tears prick the corners of your eyes. You’re desperate, one hand curled around Emcee’s thick thigh, quietly beseeching her to put something in your mouth. You’re eager for a taste, eager to please, to reciprocate. She peers down at you with pitying eyes, lips crooked in a smirk.

She leaves you momentarily to shimmy out of her shorts, panties sticky and kicked off, before bracketing your head with either of her legs. The earthy aroma of her cunt fills your nostrils before you bury your face in her muff, sucking, licking, and nipping to mirror Sylus’s mouth on you.

You lose it when a thick finger tests the pucker of your cunt before dipping inside. He digs a little deeper with each pump of his finger until he’s knuckle-deep inside you. And you’re remiss of the hot suction of his mouth before the sticky click of mouths fusing reaches you. Instead of Sylus’ lips sealing to the seam of your cunt, a smaller mouth wraps around your clit, wrenching the sluttiest little sound from your throat.

They work in tandem to undo you. Alternate whose mouth is on you, whose fingers are in the tight clench of pussy, before both their tongues attack your clit. They feast on you, groaning like they’re appreciative of the meal. You can’t focus, releasing Emcee’s clit to bite down on her inner thigh, eyes screwed shut, fingers tight on her thighs.

You break at the seams, that sparkling feeling washing over you. Pins and needles in your extremities, vision white, voice lodged in your throat as you cum. 

By the time you return to your skin, float down, chasing the even push of your breath, Emcee’s hovering over your legs. Hands braced on either side of your hips, face screwed up in pleasure. 

She’s so gorgeous, panting like that, tits bouncing, Sylus’ fingers bruising, tight on her hips. She’s reaching for your hand as Sylus takes her from behind, and from your vantage point, you can’t tell where he ends and she begins. 

You twine your fingers with hers, still descending, and you smile. A sloppy, enamored, tired thing, holding tight as their grunts and whimpers salt the air. The clop of wet skin to skin accompanies it, breathiness, pleasure.

Your gaze slides up, blurry, body boneless, and Sylus studies you, mouth hanging open with the effort of breathing. Even long after Emcee’s fallen onto her stomach, wrapping her lips around your clit for something to muffle her voice, the power of Sylus’ thrusts too much to bear, he watches you through his hair framing his face, a reverent, wolfish gleam to his eyes. It borders predatory, carrying a silent threat: you’re next. 

You throb, smile crazed, fingers filtering through Emcee’s hair to hold her in place as she sucks on your abused clit.

You’re counting on it.

Synopsis: You reunite with the woman who has you so deeply engraved into her heart.

WC: 3K

Masterlist

Are you real? She wonders.

If not…

...then what a cruel trick.

~~~

For a second no one speaks.

Sylus lingers for a little bit before walking by you, leaving you two alone. His hand lightly brushes yours in comfort, it helps.

You’re both grateful for having this moment be just between you two but the hammering in your heart wishes he would stay, so you wouldn’t be alone as she stares at you in a mixture of awe and confusion.

She’s grown a little taller, something to be expected after all these years but you still tower over her. The memories of all the times you used to tease her about it nearly make you smile. No longer does she sport the long fringed hairstyle, now it’s cut off at her shoulders, oddly reminding you of the way you used to have it styled in your shared childhood. She’s dyed it red. It suits her.

Red means passion.

But it can also be for danger.

She fits into the hunter uniform better than your imagination had served you. The white shirt fits so snug, you can just see a hint of the muscles underneath. It’s intoxicating.

But it’s clear she hasn’t been taking care of herself. Deep eye bags have settled under her eyes, which flicker constantly in exhaustion. You don’t blame her, not after she’s lost two of the most important people in her life at the same time. Not after losing you.

Her eyes give nothing away as they take in every inch of you. You feel your breath catching in your throat as she does so.

Do you look okay?

Will she be disappointed?

You’re no longer the girl who used to smile easily, who gave care out like it was nothing, who expected nothing in return.

But you can be for her. You’ll be anyone for her.

You’ll do anything.

For her, sacrifice means nothing.

Time seems to slow down with each step she takes toward you, drawing the moment out leaving you on edge. And so fucking nervous.

Your heart might give out when a hand comes up to cradle your face – not in affection but to touch and feel if the skin beneath is real.

“I-is this some type of trick,” she whispers finally, eyes glossed in tears. You violently shake your head in response. For the first time, anger courses through you for your situation. You curse the people who took you, who so effortlessly captured your ability to speak. No longer are you numb to the pain they afflicted upon you, not when you can’t tell her so.

All you can do is hold her in your arms as she collapses into tears. Whether from the overwhelming incident currently occurring or because her exhaustion has finally caught up, you don’t care. Not as you cradle her soft body against yours.

[Name], she whispers into your skin. Repeating it over and over again.

It’s easy to carry Mara out of the room, she feels too small in them, too skinny from lack of eating. You’ll have to remedy that during her stay here, she’s lived without yours and Caleb’s food for too long.

Sylus greets you as you exit, one eyebrow raising in controlled surprise. “Take her into your room,” he softly commands.

Mara wakes up in soft sheets with a killer headache.

Her hand comes up to rub the throbbing her temple, smiling softly as she recalls her dream. At least in this one, she got to see how you would look grown up. At least in this one, it wasn’t your young self asking why she had failed you.

None of her fantasies compared to what she dreamt of last night. The length of your hair, the shape of your body, how you had felt so real – how you had wrapped your arms around her. Years of loneliness had disappeared in that moment, for a while you were by her side and all was alright with the world.

For a while.

But her actions halt as she realises she’s in an unfamiliar room, leaping to her feet as she recalls her meeting with the boss of Onychinus. The very man who might be responsible for the deaths of…

For the deaths of…

Perhaps one day, she’ll be able to think or say it outright.

A knock on the door snaps her out of it. She doesn’t respond, mentally preparing for whoever steps through the door when she hears the doorknob turn. In steps…

You.

You’re carrying a tray of food, smiling when you notice she’s awake. Not caring as her jaw drops open, or that she’s in the corner of the room with her hands rolled into fists ready to strike whoever walks through.

Not you, though. Never you.

“It wasn’t a dream,” she lets out, causing you to smile. She remains frozen, unsure of what to do. Taking one hand off the tray, you guide her back to your bed. Too caught up in the warmth of your hand on her, she follows you without question. Mara already shows signs of improvement on her face from the sleep she had, to your relief.

When you try to remove your hand, so you can put the tray down gently on the nightstand, she pulls you right back on top of her. The food goes flying and lands with a loud shatter on the floor but you’re too distracted as you end up straddling her to care. Her hands come up to rest on your hips, like it’s natural, like it’s meant to be.

Mara wastes no time in exploring your body, hands moving across every inch like an explorer in an unknown part of a map. Her hands caress your chest, feeling the blood pumping through your veins, fingers trailing over the goosebumps on your arms, one hand rests over your heart just so she can feel it beat.

She’s real. She’s real. She’s real, repeats in her head over and over again. She doesn’t realise she’s crying when a hand cradles her face and wipes the tears away. She lurches forward, grabbing you into a hug, arms wrapped tightly around you and her head buried into the centre of your chest. You simple thread your fingers through her hair as she wails into your chest, pressing kisses to the crown of her head.

No words need to be spoken for you to know this is all she needs in the moment. Neither of you really know how much time passes nor do you really care. Mara’s cries seem to slowly die down, she settles for breathing in your artificial scent from lotions and perfume.

Her mind seems to reel, no matter how much proof she gathers that this is real, she has a hard time believing the evidence. Slowly her head lifts up, heart clenching in awe as you gaze at her softly. It’s when she finally notices the scar across your neck, eyebrows raising in question. Her hand immediately reaches to trace, dangerously gentle.

“What happened?” she nearly shouts in concern.

You open and close your mouth a few times, unsure on how to proceed. “C-can’t…” you trail off. The tears make a comeback in Mara’s eyes, as she comes to her own conclusion. “Can’t speak?” she finishes for you. You nod.

“I know how to sign,” she confirms. “They taught us in the Academy,” her eyes widen at the sentence. “I’m a hunter now, [Name],” she rests her chin where her head had been, gazing up at you. “Aren’t you proud of me?”

The sadness in the air is replaced by two soft laughs as you nod.

[“You have no idea how much.”]

For a little bit, she stares at you. As if contemplating doing something that she believes might ruin the moment. “I want to do something, angel. Please don’t hate me,” she pleads. You tilt your head in confusion.

[“Never.”]

It’s all the desperate woman in front of you needs. Years of believing you were dead, of finding sanctuary in those carrying pieces of you finally boil over. Her lips are on yours before you can even move, kissing you like the starved fool she is.

Maybe you’re no better as you immediately return the kiss, delighting in the way she hums into your mouth with joy. Her hands slip under your carefully selected night-gown, moving up your thighs and taking the silk material with them. All she has to do is slip a strap off your shoulder to gain access to the skin underneath.

She swallows your moan as a cold finger gently brushes the tip of your nipple, unsure if she can proceed. Taking your whines as confirmation, her hand cups your breast, feeling whatever she can in her hand. You can feel yourself get lightheaded as neither of you have yet to take break from kissing. Your entire body heats at her touch, grinding your lower half into her thigh, chasing friction as you lose yourself in each other.

Yet the rational part of her mind wins as she realises all the unspoken questions between you two. There’s still so much she doesn’t know. Like why you’re in the N109 zone in the first place. She pulls away from you as realisation sinks in, the moment is ruined leaving you staring at confused.

“Was it Sylus who did this?” she asks, pointing at your neck. Blinking as you mentally go over her words, you shake your head.

“What are you even doing with him? He’s dangerous,” she hisses, not wanting to admit to herself that she’s jealous.

“He might’ve even been behind Caleb’s death!”

[“Sylus would never do that,”] you defend.

Mara’s eyes dim at your response, pushing you off her and creating distance.

“You mean the same man that just kept me locked up for three days, forcing me to try and resonate with him?” she snaps.

You look away ashamed, you had gotten used to the changed man Sylus had become for you, that your forgot what he can truly be like. How can you even begin to explain it all to her?

That one day, she’ll come to love him. Just like you do.

“Why aren’t you shocked he’s dead?”

Your eyes widen at her question as you meet her gaze. It’s the first she’s ever looked at you in anger and in betrayal.

“How long have you known?” she whispers.

[“Since it happened.”]

Mara says nothing and it leaves you panicked.

“I was so caught up in you being still alive, I didn’t even see the signs,” she chuckles darkly, bringing a hand up to push through her hair. “I need to talk to Sylus,” she finishes, leaving the room.

Leaving you behind.

Mara steps out into the hallway.

For the first time in her life, she doesn’t want to see you.

Because the heartbroken look on your face is still imprinted in her mind, no matter how hard she tries to remind her heart that you deserve it. Because she’s never made you cry before and all she wants is to go back into that room and finish what she had tried to start.

She takes out her Hunter watch, not shocked as it displays no signal. She comes across a black bird, perched on a pillar. She looks over the bird, deciding it closely resembles a crow despite it being so metallic. Mara thanks her hunter skills as the bird she thought was a statue suddenly zooms past her, into another corridor. She doesn’t know why she follows it.

Soon she comes across a room, her resolve to talk to the man in charge out the window as she hears him talk to a man in that cold manner of his. Every hair on her body stands on edge, a desire to run wins. But a quick flash of your face stops her and it’s enough time for Sylus to force her out.

Mara finds herself in some sort of dining room. Sylus walks over and pours her a glass of wine, like she hadn’t put a bullet through him not so long ago.

“This will be useful for defending yourself in the N109 zone,” he places a gun in front of her with a cold chuckle. As always his indifference to her, leaves her angry.

“Are you mocking me?”

“I’m giving you a way out.” He takes a seat in front of her. “Since you can’t escape, why don’t we make a deal?”

“I’m not interested.” She drinks the wine, the strong liquid an escape she desperately needs.

“As long as you have desires, there will always be deals to make.”

Sylus’s right eyes glows that familiar red, the same that gave her all those hallucinations. He flips a coin in his hand. “So many days have come and gone. You should know your own desires by now.”

“You mean [Name]?” her eyes narrow, standing up and gripping the edges of the table as a clutch. “Is that why she’s here? You’re going to use her as a bargaining chip?” And here she was defending you, she thinks bitterly. What do you see in this guy, angel?

“You know what, fine. I’ll accept this deal. I resonate with you and not only do you give me the Aether core from your auction, you let me leave with her-”

“No.”

Mara glares at him. “What do you mean, no?” she snarls. “Is the core that precious to you?”

“No, she is.”

His declaration is like a splash of cold water on her face, the buzz from the wine is all but faded.

“[Name]’s free to go as she wishes anyway,” he tilts his head with a mischievous look in his eyes, bordering on malicious. “But she’s still mine.”

But he’s still not done. “Besides with the way you just ripped her heart out, how confident are you that she’ll even leave with you now?” he smirks.

“H-how did-”

“This is my house,” he responds wryly. “Of course I know what goes on in it.”

Mara finds herself lost in how to respond. She moves forward to clutch his hand in hers.

“Release me. You can’t do that just yet.”

He knows the woman before him is moving in desperation. You do seem to have that effect on all of them.

Mara looks up at him, wondering why he’s struggling in his head. Wondering why his power seems so familiar. For a while she grips onto his hand, trying her best to will her evol to work. Embarrassment at her own actions creep up, Sylus’s lips quirk at her cuteness though she’ll never know it.

“After all that arrogance, it seems like you can’t even control your own evol,” he teases.

“At the very least, it doesn’t want to be activated in front of you!” she bites back. Again [Name], what do you see in this arrogant jerk!

He shakes his head. “Just as I thought. You’re too weak.”

“You’ve seen the scars on her body,” he whispers. “How can you protect her from the powerful enemies she’s made?”

Mara stares at him.

“Face it. She’s protected as long as she’s by my side.”

“What happened to her? What enemies are you talking about?” she questions.

“It’s not my story to tell,” he waves her off causing a scoff out of her.

He pinches the area between his brow. “Eat as much as you want,” he commands.

She turns to look at the long table. It’s filled with exquisite dishes, each one familiar. Sylus clears his throat to get her attention. “[Name] cooked all your favourites. She was concerned at how frail you felt, the least you can do is eat the food. After you’re done, come find me outside the base’s entrance.”

He walks over to the door, turning back to say one final thing.

“You better hope our deal is successful. Otherwise, consider this your last meal.”

The snow-haired man approaches the crouched figure taking refuge in his bedroom.

“First time in the doghouse, little bird?” Sylus teases as he crouches in front of you, eyes softening when your lift your head up – swollen eyes meeting his.

[“She hates me,”] you sniffle. He moves to sit down next to you.

“She doesn’t hate you,” he comforts. “She’s just angry. Rightfully so.”

His larger hand comes to hold yours, tugging you into his side. “Even if you had wanted to go back, I wouldn’t have let you. Not at that time, so we can share the blame.”

[“Don’t be hard on her, this is all to much for her.”]

He chuckles. “I’ll do what I want,” he playfully coos, wiping away tears on your face. “Now stop crying, we have somewhere to be.”

AN: You know it's serious when Sylus has to play the therapist. Sorry for the short chapter! It's also more of a filler, I feel.

Love and Deepspace Various! / Reader

《File welcomes you! Enter! ... Good Luck.》

-

-

Huming to the soft music playing in the cafe, you gently stir the brew. The smell of fresh bread and sweet syrups always lingering in the air.

You were glad for the calm evening, the morning rush had gone by rather quickly. Each order different than the last, yet you and youe colleuges made it through the first shift.

"Excuse me?" A polite voice pipes up. Giving the costumer your attention, your eyes widen at the familiar heroine hunter.

"Hello again! What can I get you Miss MC?"

You playfully smile, as the brunette beauty grins back at you.

"My usual, please."

"Alright, unicorn hair and a dish rag, comin' up!" You state innocently as her eyes widen. Her laughter lighting on the cafè as you turn away to the coffee cups.

Not seeing her lean her palm against her chin, eyeing the curve of your shoulder blades as stretch a arm up to the higher shelves.

'I wish I was that cup~!' She screamed iternally. This little haven of her's being the few solaces in her stressful life. Bringing out her phone, texting her friend, using every bit of sensabilty to not take photos of you.

-

You swoon openly, heart-eyed and face warm as you recount your feelings. Though, you knew telling the male of who your affections were for wouldn't make him bat an eye, (since he loved MC), it weirded you out at his strange behavior. Eyes slightly cold as his frown deepens into a pout.

You ignore it, knowing you had no chance with the love intrest. (At least you could swoon about the other male leads since they didn't know it was them you were talking about.)

"Hm? You okay?" You pause your rant, eyeing the blonde.

"...No."

"O-oh.." You head slightly lowered, toying with the holding trey. "A-ahm.. I'll just, get your order, Xavier." The friendly tone dying in your throat as you walk away. Frowning, know you shouldn't be pushing your luck. You'd at least hoped to be on friendly terms! You knew he wasn't as cold as he presented himself! But.. That was reserved for the MC only.

While wandering back to the kitchen, the blonde runs his fingers through his locks. Upset for being the cause of loosing your enthusiasm.

Jelousy spiking up quietly in his heart when recalling MC proudly showing off your number in her phone. Or hearing your sweet words of praise directed to someone else.

He'd have to find away to get it.

-

Sitting on the bar-stool, you eye the giant glass shard stuck in your leg. Trying to fake the pain, you were honestly nonchalant at the at the injury.

It couldn't really do damage.

Sweating slightly, you smiled nervously at the doctor.

Zayne carefully lifts your leg close to him, tenderly gripping your skin as he eyes injury.

"Okay... One, two... THREE." He stated, pulling out the glass stuck in your thigh. You blink, nothing, no scream, no blood... Nothing.

"...." The doctor blinks at you in disbelief. Shakily placing the shard down on the bar-counter.

"...Y.. Your body still must be in shock." The male rationalized, fingers digging into the flesh of your leg.

"O-oh... Y-yeah..." You hear the jingle of the cafè's door opening. Alerting the two of you as Zayne's body cages around you.

-

The painter eagerly pushes you down on one of the dressing room chairs. Smirking as MC walks into one the dressing rooms.

"You know... I think this color would look wonderfully on you." He spoke casually, sliding up closer to you. Holding up a shimmering blue dress with bits of jewels threaded into the seam.

You thought it looked really familiar to certain outfit of his-

"Huh.. I don't think it's my size though." You shrug, "the last outfit you handed me was a bit tight. I couldn't even pull the ziper up for the back."

You recall a few moments earlier, when MC eagerly wanted to take a selfie with you in that piece. Rafeyal immediately forwning and trying to push between you. To the point his hands pushing at your back away from the female Hunter.

Not seeing the grin he shot her when he carresed your naked lower spine.

"Though, I really wish you'd acompany me and Miss Bodygaurd to the exhibit."

"Oh? That's really nice of you to offer, but I-... Well.." You let a silly smile overtake your face. Dreamily sighing as you glace away, your heart couldn't take his pout.

"I.. uhm.. Got a date?"

-

Seeing that familiar smirk, you got another case of butterflies. Swallowing down your swooning, you notice a customer calling you over.

Passing by the male, you use all of your will power to ignore him. Eyes shinning with utter affection, you direct those feelings away. Greeting the costumer that called you eagerly.

Feelings still rampanging over your heart, you do your best to pay attention to the order.

Heading back to the counter, your co-worker writes down Sylus order as you start perparing the coffee.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to add on to my order. But may I have two smaller drinks with the order."

"Of course!" You pipe up, not daring to meet his gaze as you shake the syrup canister.

"Thank you, (Y/N)..."

He sounded out the name cheekily, with you heart fluttering about. You don't see that your name-tag was no longer on your shirt.

Instead, hidden within his coats pockets for safe-keeping.

[Hiya! I wrote this as a idea I had awhile ago! It was originally in the concept as a full fledege idea. But I scrapped it, sorry! Enjoy! Thanks for reading, if you wanna know more. Send in a ask!]

[promptedwordsmith]

Omg omg just thought of an idea

So we know the mc has a lot of love interests

What if we had one where she had a bestfiend that she grew up with , fem! reader.

And this best friend has been with her since the thick and thin so when MC gets diagnosed with that protocore syndrome it devastated reader cuz the mc can’t do a lot of the stuff she used to do with her cuz of her heart.

Reader is in love with MC but can’t tell her cuz she knows that MC likes boys so she stays quiet.

What if she sees all the chaos that goes on in MC’s life after meeting the love interest , like being a hunter and also rafayals bodyguard as well as helping sylus and such. She’s always just there, she makes snips at time at the boys when they’re being to pushy or just in jealousy at time.

she sees the strain that it puts on MC and decides enough is enough , and has an argument with the MC when she tries to stop her from doing going off with one of the love interests on another one do their ‘dates/mission’.

This argument is pretty bad As reader talks about the boys and how they’re causing stress on her , but MC is just denying it and insults the reader about how she’s always rude around them - this leads them to not speaking.

They both ignore each other for a while but MC’s heart gets bad , reader hears this and makes a very drastic decisions

One day, Zane approaches MC with the fact that there is a heart available for MC, it matches her perfectly (somehow) , after getting the heart surgery to replace her old one, she missed Reader and wanted to speak to her, she asks whose it was , then Zane goes quiet cuz he knew.

He gave the clipboard of the persons information to the MC only for the MC to cry when she seen that it was her best friend that gave up her own heart for the MCs life, it was the readers silent way of confessing.

- 🧸

I hope this isn’t too complicated of an ask x

This was very interesting, I've never seen an ask for the MC x reader I switched some stuff up, hopefully thats OK and I named MC Noelle to keep my sanity!

You’ve known Noelle for as long as you can remember. Through childhood scraped knees and late-night talks about the stars, through laughter that made your ribs ache and silent moments when she felt like the only person in the world who truly saw you.

You should have been prepared for the day she got her Evol.

You weren’t.

At first, it was exhilarating—watching her light up when she realized what she could do, how she could be more. But then the reality of it settled in. The sleepless nights, the fights she threw herself into, the risks she took without a second thought. And worse than all of that, the diagnosis that changed everything.

Protocore Syndrome.

She was still Noelle. Still your best friend. Still the girl you—No. You don’t think about that.

But she wasn’t the same.

She couldn’t run beside you like she used to, couldn’t spend hours at the arcade trying to win the biggest prize, couldn’t do anything without the constant weight of her heart condition looming over both of you.

You tried to be strong for her. You tried to be the one constant in her life when everything else was shifting, when her body was betraying her. But watching her push herself, watching her smile through it, pretending it wasn’t tearing her apart—it was tearing you apart too.

And then came them.

One by one, they arrived. The love interests that seemed to pull her deeper into a world of chaos, each one demanding pieces of her in ways that made your stomach twist. Xavier, Rafayel, Zayne, Sylus, Caleb—every single one of them had their own gravity, pulling her in, stretching her thin. You watched as she threw herself into being a Hunter, into being Rafayel’s bodyguard, into chasing after Sylus’s reckless ideas.

You were always there. Always watching.

And when the teasing between them went too far, when they crowded her space, when they pushed and pulled at her like she was some prize to be won, your patience cracked. The words slipped from your mouth before you could stop them—snide comments, pointed jabs. Jealousy burned in your chest, a bitter, ugly thing you had no right to feel.

Because you knew.

You knew Noelle liked boys.

She would never look at you the way she looked at them.

So you stayed quiet. Even when it hurt. Even when she collapsed from exhaustion and still insisted she was fine. Even when the stress of it all made her Evol unstable.

Until one day, you couldn’t stay quiet anymore.

It was after yet another mission-date, another moment where one of them had whisked her away like she wasn’t already carrying too much. You tried to stop her. She refused to listen.

The argument was ugly.

You told her the truth—the boys were pushing her too hard, pulling her apart, making everything worse. But Noelle wouldn’t hear it. She denied it, said you were just being rude, that you had no right to interfere.

Her words cut deeper than you thought they could.

And so, for the first time in years, you walked away.

You ignored each other after that. Days turned into weeks. Every time you saw her from afar, something in your chest ached, but you told yourself it was better this way. She had them. She didn’t need you.

Then you heard the news.

Her heart had gotten worse.

You knew what you had to do.

It was the only thing you could do.

The moment you heard the news—that Noelle’s heart was failing faster than expected—it was like the world had already made the decision for you.

Noelle had always been reckless with her life. She gave too much, ran herself into the ground, ignored her own limits for the sake of others. You had spent years watching her push herself past breaking points. And now, she was at one.

So you did what she never would. You made the choice she never could.

No one could know.

You started preparing in silence. You ate better, exercised lightly—nothing that would draw suspicion, just enough to keep your heart in the best condition it could be. You went to doctors, had check-ups, made sure everything was perfect. Noelle needed a heart, and you were going to give her yours.

Because in your mind, it had always been hers.

Late at night, when doubt crept in, you let yourself imagine what it would be like if things were different. If you had met her in another life, one where you could tell her how you felt, where she looked at you the way she looked at them.

But this was the only way you could say it.

You put your affairs in order. Quietly, methodically. You wrote a will, signed the necessary papers, and left one last request: that your heart be given to Noelle.

And then, you wrote her a letter.

It was the hardest thing you had ever done.

When the time came, Zayne was the one who received everything. He found your will on his desk, an unassuming envelope with his name written neatly on the front. He didn’t understand at first. Then his eyes found the clause.

Heart donation to: Noelle.

The blood drained from his face. His hands shook as he flipped through the pages, hoping—praying—that he had misread. That this was some kind of mistake.

And then he found the letter.

A smaller envelope, this time with Noelle’s name on it, sealed with careful precision. His breath was unsteady as he read the note attached:

Give this to her when she’s well enough. Not before. I don’t want her to worry.

It was the last thing you ever wrote.

That same day, Noelle’s transplant took place.

The surgery was a success. She recovered quickly, her body accepting the heart as if it had been waiting for it all along. But as the weeks passed, an ache settled in her chest—not physical, but something deeper, something missing.

She wanted to see you. Needed to.

And so, when she was finally cleared to leave the hospital, she went looking for you.

That was when Zayne knew he couldn’t keep the truth from her any longer.

He met her in his office, his usual cool composure cracking at the edges. He didn’t say anything at first. Just placed the letter on the desk between them, his fingers lingering over the paper like he didn’t want to let it go.

“Noelle,” he said, his voice strained. “This is from her.”

The moment she saw your handwriting, something in her stomach twisted. Her hands trembled as she picked up the envelope, as she broke the seal and unfolded the paper inside.

And then she read.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noelle,

If you're reading this, it means everything went according to plan. Good. That means you're alive. That means you're okay.

I need you to know something.

This heart was always yours. From the start. From the moment we met, before I even knew what love was supposed to feel like, it belonged to you.

And if this is the only way I get to tell you, then so be it.

I hope you get to do all the things you used to love again. I hope you run as fast as you can, laugh until you can't breathe, play those stupid claw machines and win something ridiculous.

I hope you live.

And I hope, maybe in another life, I'll get to love you in a way you can see.

Take care of my heart, Noelle. It's always been yours.

—Yours always

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The paper slipped from her fingers. Her breath came in short, sharp gasps, the edges of her vision blurring.

No.

No, this couldn’t be real.

She stumbled back, shaking her head, as if she could deny it into not being true. But Zayne’s expression, the unbearable silence in the room—everything confirmed it.

You were gone.

And your last act had been giving her the one thing she never realized she needed most.

Her hands clutched at her chest, at the steady heartbeat beneath her ribs. Your heartbeat. Your love.

And for the first time since the surgery, she felt it—what had been missing.

You.

The realization shattered her.

She had spent so much time running towards a future she thought she wanted, surrounded by people who adored her. But the one who had been with her from the start, the one who had stayed through everything, had loved her quietly, completely—and she never saw it.

And now, it was too late.

Tears fell freely, soundless sobs shaking her shoulders as she gripped the letter like it could somehow bring you back.

But you were gone.

And she was here.

Living with your heart beating inside her.

Loving you too late.

Chapter 1 - What the Hades....

Masterlist

???? POV:

*We did it...

We created life, life from just a few particles in Deepspace, life from a few particles found in protocores known to be both toxic and poisonous to anyone with even an ounce of contact with human skin...

But we did it, WE created *her* Asphodel X03...

Our greatest creation yet, just like what we did with Maia X01.

She will be our ascension to immortality, she will be what this world needs to achieve the impossible. It's just a matter of time...*

Asphodel POV:

My head.... What the....

Where am I? What is this place?

I continued to look at my surroundings, wondering why I have this blistering headache and why in Hades' name can I not remember anything?

Wait

.

.

.

.

.

Hades? Who was that? Why did a random name just pop in my head?.... Nvm, what's important is to process my surroundings better so I can get the hell out of here.

But... Hold up, something isn't right.

Why can't I remember anything? Why is the only memory in my mind a place of darkness and suddenly being thrust into the light?

"Doctor, she's awake" wait she? Are they talking about me? I look to the side of the room to see a large window with people on the other side in white lab coats taking down notes.

"E-excuse me?" My voice came out rather hoarse, as if I've been screaming for the past hour. "W-where am I?" I asked, "hmmm, note it down. Awoken after a few hours of rigorous testing both in organs and skin. It seems her body is adapting quickly from all the chemicals injected in her body and not only that but she's regenerating rather quickly unlike the other two."

What.

Testing?

Chemicals?

Regeneration?

What the hell are they doing to me? I stared at them in both shock and horror wondering what they were doing to my body, mind you my body, from what I can see, is the body of the child. Are they sick or something? Doing experiments like that to a child? A child who just woke up not even a few minutes ago?

.

.

.

.

.

A week has passed, how do I know that? Beats me, I know a lot of things that even I can't explain. But they continue to do these tests on my body, seemingly hoping to find more answers to whatever it is they're finding.

Somehow after a week, they let me go. Some guards are escorting me to a room from the back of the facility, some of the scientists who experimented on me told me I would meet the others who're just like me.

And now here we are... After opening the door, the guard just threw me into the room with no regards whatsoever for my health btw and shut the door from behind. I look across the room to find not only one but two other kids like me, a boy and a girl.

The boy, who looked at me with wariness in his eyes, feels familiar to me somehow. Like I've seen him before. The girl on the other hand is looking at me with curiosity, both so familiar to me but I can't just place where I've seen them before in my head.

"Uh... Hello?" Finally saying something to them, I nervously greeted them with a wave of my hand. "Who are you?" The boy asked, holding his hand out in front of the girl seemingly protecting her from my presence and glaring at me as if I was the one hurting them in the first place (which I get, I mean scientist experimenting on you suddenly brought in another child to your room without explanation? I would be wary too but jeez turn the glare down to a minimum would ya?)

"Um, I'm Asphodel X03? That's what they call me anyway" I shrugged, I didn't know how I was so nonchalant with everything that's been happening tbh, all I know is that when I woke up during my first day here, they continued experimenting on me and somehow I can't feel even an ounce of pain from all the cutting and stabbing they did, all I felt was a itch in my skin that never seems to go away.

"A-are you just like us?" The girl asked stepping around the boy's hand without an ounce of fear. The boy watched as the girl went around his hand staring at her shock, as if to say that she should be more wary of strangers. "I guess so? I mean yeah, they did experiment on me more times than I can count." I replied to her shrugging, the boy stared at me in shock.

"Y-you! You can't just say something like that like it's nothing!" The boy shouted ( Jeez calling him "the boy" is getting old ) "What's wrong with what I said? Is it not the truth?" Ok maybe I'm being arrogant here, but you would too if you've experienced what I've experienced so far, being experimented on but feeling nothing more than an itch that you can't ignore.

"It is! But still you can't say something like that so blunty!" He shouted again, his eyes darting from me to the girl beside him, like it's telling me to think and look at her expression. Which I did, and oh boy.... Her face looked so pale, her eyes terrified. "Oh."

"Yeah 'Oh'" he rolled his eyes at me, bringing the girl closer to him to comfort her. Now I feel bad, "Hey, I'm sorry.... I didn't know that this would be your reaction...." I moved closer to the two, looking at the girl with apologetic eyes conveying my apologies to her. The boy on the other hand.... Looked at me skeptically.

"Look I'm really sorry" I looked at both of them. "I-its fine" the girl finally spoke up after a few seconds. "I'm X01, I think that's what they call me..." She said, her face is laced with confusion as if somehow forgetting her name every time, "tsk..." The boy looked at me still skeptical "02..." She said, tugging on the boy's sleeves and looking at him with eyes so doe like, you could've mistaken it for an animal's eyes.

"I'm Caleb X02... But they don't call me that here, it's just 02 I guess." He looked to the side after introducing himself... That's weird, why does that name seem so familiar? Where have I heard that before? "Agh..." Suddenly, as if electrocuted by a lightning bolt ( SIDE NOTE: future Asphodel here everyone! Seeing as how I remember my memories from the past life, this line was quite ironic seeing as how who my friends were. Alright back to the story! ) I started convulsing and dropped to the floor. The two in front of me suddenly panicked, while the girl wanted to come close to me, the other one wouldn't let her afraid that maybe she would be affected by the sudden electric current radiating from my body.

Then two guards emerged from the closed door taking the two in front of me by surprise, "You're now situated with each other, now let's go. They're waiting for you" one of the guards suddenly grabbed my forearm tightly, dragging me to the close door while I continued heaving after getting electrocuted so suddenly.

While the guards were dragging me through the door, I looked at the two still inside the room seeing them both so afraid of the guards just barging in and taking me away.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That happened around a week ago, now I've been a constant presence to both X01 and X02 inside the room, they even started trusting me once I figured out I could heal their injuries from the experiments those Dam ( future Asphodel: get it? Dam?.... Ok I'll stop ) scientists did to all of us. Though for some unfortunate reason, I can't seem to heal myself but I can heal others just fine.

"Jiě jie are you ok?" I looked up startled as I heard X01 call out to me. "Oh, I'm fine just thinking about something" I replied to her.

"You don't look fine" someone from behind me said, I looked back to see X02 standing behind me with his newly bandaged arms crossed and looking at me with narrowed eyes. "I'm fine X02, just thinking about my healing powers again." I looked at my arms as I said that.

X02 sighed "you know you don't have to heal me right? I know it takes a lot of your energy to just heal one of us, let alone two people." He shook his head, arms uncrossing and putting them to his hips.

"Yeah Jiě jie, Gege's right. You don't have to heal both of us." X01 said, looking at me with those soft doe eyes. If she keeps looking at me like that I won't be able to stop myself from pinching her cheeks. Why does she have to be so cute.

"You know I don't want to stop healing you guys, besides... They do more damage to both of you than they do to me." I look down onto my lap, thinking about the times wherein X02 comes back with open wounds on his arms and scars on his back and us watching how they tortured and killed X01 more times than I can count.

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

Suddenly, alarms start blaring out the facility, issuing a warning never have I heard before ever since I got to this place.

"What's happening?" X01 looks afraid, clinging onto my arm tightly. "I don't know" I replied back, this hasn't happened before. Why are there suddenly alarms blaring out a warning? What's going on?

"Both of you stay here" X02 looked at the door with suspicion.

Wait, where was he going? I thought to myself as I saw him walking towards the door slowly. "X02" I called out to him "where are you going?" I stretch my arm out to catch the ends of his shirt holding him back from going towards the door.

"I'm going to check what's going on out there" he replied taking my hand out of his shirt and walking to the door, but then it opened.

All three of us froze, but once we saw who the figure was X01 relaxed slightly. There in the door, was one of the scientists tasked to experiment on all three of us, especially X01.

If I remember correctly, her name was Josephine. She looks disheveled. Like something dangerous was happening and for some reason I could feel a sense of death outside the room.

"We have to get out of here X02 grabbed X03 and lets go" she said stalking towards both X01 and I who stood up a few minutes ago, and grabbed the girl from behind me and pulled her towards the door looking at X02 and then at me.

"W-wait" X01 looked up at her then to X02 and me and said "What's going on? Where are we going?"

"There's no time to waste, come on you three." Josephine said, still tugging X01s hand to get through the door. X02, sensing that something was amiss, grabbed my hand and followed the two of them outside. Once through the door, all I could see was a sea of red light, the siren blaring out warnings so loud that caused my ears to hurt.

All three of us continue to follow Josephine through the corridor and after a few twists and turns we finally see a door just up a head.

But unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan.

A sudden explosion from behind us led to us being separated, my hands slipped from X02s grip and I was thrown back to a wall while I heard both X01 and X02 screaming for me.

I can tell my head was bleeding from the impact that explosion caused, and my ears were still ringing from it.

But a sudden warmth spread through me, I could feel hands start to carry me from where I laid and brought me through the door. With my eyes still blurry from the impact and explosion, I could see a blueish - silvery mask of the stranger who saved me.

Seemingly sensing someone staring up at him, he looked down at the girl in his arms and brought a hand out to her eyes "sleep, you're safe now."

With that reassurance, I was out like a light.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

When I came to, I saw two familiar faces up close, one more closer than the other. Which surprisingly, isn't X01. "Wha-"

"Jiě jie!"

"X03!"

They both exclaimed at the same time. "Jeez, tone it done a little would ya? My head's killing me" I said as I clutched my throbbing head. "Of course your head would hurt dumbass, you have a wound on it. If it weren't for me you would've died from the amount of blood you've lost!" X02 exclaimed while helping me up from my position. From this angle I could see both of them more clearly than before.

X01s eyes were red, which I guess comes from all the crying, while X02 is glaring at my head as if it offended me to a serious degree. "Wait... Where's that woman?" I questioned, now realizing that it was just the three of us here in this run down building.

"She went to find supplies for all of us" X01 replied, sensing my confusion.

.

.

.

A few days have passed with Josephine having come back from finding those supplies, we ventured away from the building we've stayed in for the past 3 days. At least that's what they told me seeing as how I was unconscious for 2 of those days.

Then, we found a shelter with other victims of the catastrophe that happened a few days ago, Josephine decided to let us stay here for a few days, that is until she finds us a permanent place to live in.

The days felt like a routine, waking up, eating, cleaning ourselves, contemplating what to do next, and then sleeping again. It just keeps repeating for almost a week, until Josephine finally found a place for us at Whitesand Bay.

(A/N: Yes I know that's where Rafayel lives in but, bear with me for a second, I don't actually know where Mc and Caleb lived in before the main story started, and it's been a long time since I've read the earlier chapters of the game so excuse me guys if any information stated in this chapter feels so fanon coded, when really I've just been relying on the information I still have stuck in my head. Could I have just read the story again? Yes. But it's time consuming and I don't have a lot of time for it with my Research and school projects coming along as well. So I'm very sorry if there's any misinformation in here, but I would be so grateful to people who decide to comment on things that I've gotten wrong and to correct me for them. Now let's go back to the story.)

It was a two story house with 5 bedrooms in it, 3 upstairs and 2 downstairs. Josephine told us to take the upstairs bedroom while she stays on the first floor. After we settled ourselves in, she told us to come to the living so we could talk about what to do from now on.

"Since we're now living together, why don't the three of you decide on a name?" The three of us looked at each other with weariness in our eyes, X01 being less weary than us but still weary nonetheless. I didn't trust to say the least, she might've saved us from whatever it is that happened back there, but that doesn't erase the fact that she was one of the people who partook in the experiments those scientist did to us.

"M-mira" both X02 and I look at X01, well I guess Mira now, in surprised. Then we looked at each other and sighed in resignation. "Caleb..." X02, now Caleb said after a few minutes of silence. Then I quickly followed with "Asphodel"

Josephine smiled, as if quite pleased with the names both Caleb and I chose. "Alright then, hello Mira, Caleb, and Asphodel. I'll be taking care of the three of you from now on. You three can call me grandma." She smiled, portraying a sense of comfort I didn't know if I could trust, but for now I'm letting my guard down.

We aren't in that place anymore, it's time for a new beginning. One filled with happiness, laughter and maybe perhaps love.

“Y/n’s back.”

“Oh my y/n.”

You surely got the whole town talking huh.

TheArchivist07 Post #001 April 13th. 7:11AM. She’s spotted at the train station, perfume still as usual. Smile still stitched with silk and sin. But don’t be fooled by the innocence in her eyes. We remember. And we saw what she left behind: the boy with bruised knuckles, the girl who never spoke again, the photo that went missing from the dorm wall. Welcome back, sweetheart. Let’s finish the story. XOXO, The Archivist

A fresh new blog for a fresh new girl. Nobody knew who was behind the infamous blog who documented your every move, but if keeping their identity anonymous is what it would cost to get news about you, everyone would take up that offer.

After all, you’re the one who decided to cause havoc and suddenly disappear. Why come back? Here to finish what you’ve started?

Pictures of you at the train station from multiple different angles pretty much spread around the whole city. Speculations started— actually, way before you even came back. People made theories that you were sent to a troubled girls camp, that you were sent to jail for underage drinking or you were finally caught by the mafia.

The story wasn’t like that at all though, or maybe it was? Who knows? Only you do.

Anyways, you disappeared 8 years ago, now everyone is out of high school and at their own jobs.

“Hey MC,” you said into the phone.

“...” you hear nothing from the other side… besides really heavy breathing. Then you hear her swallowing her saliva. “Y/n?”

“Missed me? I bet you did. Can we meet tomorrow at that famous cafe? I’ve been dying to go there and I already booked a reservation so if I don’t see you there… Anyways, see ya!” you say, hanging up the phone.

You [8:49 AM]: Oh and bring your friends too. See you~

“Is she really back?” MC breathed, staring at her phone. She’s pale white at this point, seeming like she'd just seen a ghost.

You still have some time, might as well spend it doing what you did best: create drama.

Later on that night, you’d visit the one club you’ve always loved to go to ever since you were in middle school actually. People used to call it a “whorehouse” since that was where all the hookups were stationed. You still remember it as clear as day. That was also the place where you had your first time— with a random man that you’d just met but it was spectacular nonetheless.

You just had to hope it was the same as you’d remember— or maybe even better.

Arriving at the place, the music at the party was just as loud as usual, practically beating inside your ears, and you can see a cute guy hustling between his friends on the side. He’s wearing a suit and tie with… a ring on his finger. It wasn’t just some sort of friendship ring or nothing, it had a decently sized diamond and you could’ve sworn you saw it at one of the fancy jewelry stores around town. 

So you decided to go up to him and try your luck. “Hey handsome,”

“Hey beautiful,” he replies, wrapping his arms around your waist as you wrap yours around his neck. “What are you doing here~?”

“Nothing… just looking for… some fun is all.” you giggle. Then, you whisper into his ears: “Some fun with you maybe?”

“Alright, why don’t we—” you interrupt him with a rough kiss on his lips. Your tongue swirls in his mouth, trying to desperately taste him as he lightly pulls you in closer.

“Y/n?” a guy’s voice calls you out, rapidly pulling you two out of the kiss. 

“I-I’m sorry… who are…” you turn around, to be met with one of your other childhood friends— Caleb.

“Who’s that…?” the older man behind you asks.

“N-nobody… just some guy I know. Give me a second.” you drag Caleb to somewhere more quiet.

You finally let go of your tight grasp around his arm and the first words to come out of your mouth was, “Caleb what the hell?” 

“No— you what the hell? You disappeared for how many—? That’s right, 8 years ago. Now the first impression I have of you is you fucking a much much older guy. Do you even know how old he is?” his voice is scary. He’s practically screaming silently at you.

“I don’t know— I’d guess 40? But why do you care anyway? It’s not like you even cared when I disappeared.” you replied.

“Y/n. This is like your first week in the city— heck— it might even be your first day. So why are you already messing around like this? I thought for 8 years, maybe you’d have gotten better but… maybe you haven’t.” he asks.

The words hit you like a slap. Nobody back in your old city, where you were at for 8 years, dared to even talk back to you, not even try to go against you. So it’s unfortunate for you to cross paths with a guy who wasn’t even a tiny bit scared of you. Yes, you were mean back then too but not mean enough to him to make him shiver in your presence.

“Caleb, you know NOTHING about me so why are you acting like my parents? Me leaving for 8 years made you a good for nothing loser who spends time complaining rather than making something of his life?” you angrily respond.

“What the fuck?” he then angrily storms out of the club. 

TheArchivist07 Post #002 April 13th. 8:00PM. Careful y/n, you can’t be making trouble on your first day back.

—

You’d woken up the next day in a really really sour mood, not just because of that stupid argument with Caleb but also because you didn’t even get a chance to continue your rendezvous with the guy since he disappeared the moment you came back.

Oh! But today was the day you were supposed to meet up with MC and her supposed new friends. 

TheArchivist07 Post #003 April 14th. 7:00AM. Good morning y/n, We hope you have a better second day. Don’t start too much drama today. XOXO, The Archivist

You got up from your bed and immediately started putting on the new outfit you had just bought for yourself. A pleated, short white skirt with a matching white long-sleeved button up which all came together with a baby pink cardigan. For the accessories, you wore some small pieces of jewelry, a headband and a pair of black, mary jane shoes.

You’ve been trying different styles ever since you came back from that old city. It was a rural city that had basically zero to no shopping districts so you’d just had to rely solely on the clothes that you had already— which was much more than what the local kids had.

You had to move there because your dad got an offer to stay there for a few years and take care of one of the newer company facilities. It was honestly pretty futuristic, it’s just a bummer you weren’t really allowed to spend time there. Also, your parents said that it was a good place to “humble” you, that you had to see the reality of some people’s lives. But really, there is no humbling you.

You were a bitch: a bitch that can’t be stopped.

Enough of the backstory, you got inside the luxurious black limousine that you had missed for the longest time and took it to your next location, the cafe.

The cafe is new, and pretty much went viral. So you were excited to have two new experiences in one.

Arriving at the cafe, you could already see a huge line in front of it. People were eagerly waiting for a seat or even a chance to buy something… but all you did was just brush past them and make your way to your seat.

“Hey… y/n is it? Delighted to meet you.” the white haired guy beside you spoke up. His voice was deep, and… kind of teasing if you heard it correctly.

“Hey— yeah… are you one of MC’s friends? If so, nice to meet you too.” you say cheerfully. “By the way, where’s MC?”

“She’s a bit late so we’ll have to wait a while for her and the others,” he answers.

“Right, and I also brought one of my friends.” you say, feeling her presence coming. “This is Selina. She’s not gonna stay so this might be the only time you do talk to her.”

“Right. Good morning, Selina.” he says.

“Good—” she tries to say back.

“Yeah— you can go now. I’ll see you later at 5? At the place?” you interrupt her, rolling your eyes dramatically.

“S-sorry… yeah…” she quietly murmurs, then walks out of the cafe like nothing happened.

“Sorry if she was being annoying, she just likes to do that sometimes. Anyways, what’s your name?” you finally ask the question.

TheArchivist07 Post #004 April 14th. 9:43AM. Watch out, [Your initial] You can’t treat people like your minion… or maybe you can “I’m Sylus. What’s yours?” he answers. “I’m y/n. Nice to get uhh… acquainted with you…” you respond.

After some time, they all started to gather. There was Zayne, Rafayel, Caleb, and MC in exactly that order of where you were looking from (aka across) while you were in between Sylus and Xavier. 

“So… nice to meet you all. I hope we can all get along for the next few… days… weeks… months… or years of my stay here.” you awkwardly say.

“So, what are you getting y/n?” Rafayel asks.

“Uh— nothing really. I just… don’t feel hungry but you guys can order freely. I’m offering.” you reply.

Zayne looks up from the menu. “Have you eaten anything before this?”

You look back at him. “No… not exactly.”

He seems disappointed when he says,”Then it’s not wise for you to skip breakfast. Might do more harm than good.”

“Why should I listen to you?” the words slip out before you can stop them. Shit. You were supposed to be nice. Luckily for you, he isn’t one to be easily offended. But you can definitely see the way MC raises her eyebrows and gives you a confused look.

“I’m a doctor,” he replies.

“Y/n— just eat, please.” MC finally intercepts. “You haven’t changed much these past few years.”

TheArchivist07 Post #005 April 14th. 9:59AM. You’d better watch what you say, y/n Or else you’d might actually end up in a troubled girls camp

“I-I’m sorry…” you murmured quietly. “That your life is so fucking sad that you have to order people around.”

“...” The silence is uncomfortable. Everyone’s just waiting to see what happens rather than making the first move.

Then Zayne exhales softly through his nose before calmly setting down his menu on the table. “You done?” he asks, tone unreadable.

You open your mouth to say something but your dear friend MC cuts in. “Let it go.”

Her voice is soft but firm. That practiced kind of kindness that always feels just hinted… at something else.

“Cuz you’ll deal with it huh?” you say, resting your elbows on the table and leaning closer. “You’ve been saying that…since when? And I haven’t even changed a bit. Give up.”

The fiery-ness was always something MC adored about you. Something about the way you had no respect in the way you talked to her flipped a switch inside her. She had somehow made it her life mission to “tame” you as if a million other people didn’t try.

“Keep talking and see where you end up.” she also starts leaning towards you. “I might not be so nice.”

You can’t lie. Her words sent shivers up your spine, and sent rushes of heat to your cheeks. “F-fuck you.” Then, you leaned back onto the soft cushions. 

TheArchivist07 Post #006 April 14th. 10:03AM. The scoreboard is now 0-1 You lost this round y/n, Better catch up

You couldn’t pick a fight with them, you know why. You know your evol never managed to bloom ever since young, you were much weaker than most. Still grateful you even had an evol though, you felt bad for those poor peasants who weren’t as blessed as you so you never messed with them. 

Without even getting the chance to order, MC just ordered a bunch of food despite not knowing what you wanted. 

Frustration is bubbling to the surface now and you’re so close to blowing up on her but you decide not to. You hadn’t even realised your fingernails had started digging into the flesh of your palm until Xavier asked if you were okay.

Suddenly, MC spoke up. “She’s fine. She’s just salty about this— just like how she is with evol.” 

“Y’know… I think he asked me, not you. So shut up would you? Plus, you’re not even paying for any of this so stop ordering so much.” you spat.

She looked at you, then at the waiter, then back at you. “I am actually paying. Waiter, finish up the order and I’ll pay right now.” she says, taking out her card.

You have a very visibly disgusted facial expression plastered all over your face now and everyone can see it. Unluckily for you, you’re in the public eye so you have to be careful… because the archivist will document everything.

The drama that you didn’t cause made the whole mood sour and none of you bothered to talk even a single syllable. The atmosphere was still tense between you and Caleb, now it’s you and everyone.

It wasn’t until when you all bid farewell that MC talked to you again.

“Hey… I’m sorry for before. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you and I just can’t help but feel… infuriated that you didn’t even change for the better. You said the reason you moved was to improve yourself? So where is it?” she started.

How was she saying nothing and everything at the same time? Every part of you ached to get closer to her, and the other portion begged for you not to even entertain her.

“But that’s what you like about me… You were smiling the whole time it was happening. Don’t lie MC.” you reply, crossing your arms in front of your chest.

“Maybe it is… dinner at 5 later?” asked MC. 

Dinner at 5? You had already promised to go to a party with Selina at 5, what are you supposed to do now?

TheArchivist07 Post #007 April 14th. 10:47AM. So now the real question was: Who are you choosing? Your dear friend MC or Selina? Take your pick We’ll be waiting y/n

MC's POV

I watch her closely, standing there with her arms crossed with that same guarded look she always used to have. But her eyes. God, those eyes still have that spark. The spark that makes you wanna pin her down and teach her a lesson until she’s begging for you to stop. It's like nothing has changed but at the same time everything has.

She’s older, smarter, cooler. It feels like she just left me behind to pick up the pieces.

I couldn’t stand it. Every part of me wants to break through the walls she’s put up to guard herself. I can’t describe how much I want to yell at her, to tell her how messed up this whole situation is. How much it hurt when she left, how much it still hurts now. But I can't. I just stand there, waiting for her to talk.

I wanted to believe she’d changed oh so desperately. That she’d grown into someone better. But now, seeing her here again, it feels like everything is the same. She’s still her. The same girl who knows exactly how to twist the knife at the right angle to make me hurt people. But she’s also the girl I’ve always loved, the light of my life.

“Dinner at five?” I ask before I even think. It’s stupid. I don’t know why I said it. Maybe because I’m clingy. Maybe because I’m scared what will happen to her if I’m not there. Maybe I’m just trying to hold on to anything I can. But all I know is, she’s never getting away ever again.

“N-no! I-I’m very sorry for today but I already had plans with Selina.” she says.

Selina? Who the hell is she? What kind of importance does she have for you to reject my offer like this?

Questions ran through my head at the speed of a million miles per second, and yet the name still rang in my head. Who the fuck is Selina?

But nonetheless, I calm myself down and reply calmly with: “Oh okay, see you next time then.”

And we bid farewell. Curse you Selina.

TheArchivist07 Post #008 April 14th. 10:50AM. Well Selina’s got [MC Initial] fired up

Back to your POV

TheArchivist07 Post #009 April 14th. 6:13PM. Wake up sweet y/n You’re late for your plans with Selina

Holy fuck. It’s over an hour past the time you agreed to meet with Selina. Shit shit shitttt… Why didn’t your maid, Dorothy, remind you? You already told her to remind you so many times but why didn’t she?

You hurriedly put on your dress and ran into the car that had been waiting for you. Why didn’t anybody wake you up? Oh— wait— Dorothy stayed back in that small town, city, whatever you called it. 

Maybe it was your fault on your end, but at the same time it wasn’t, you just haven’t gotten used to not having assistance 24/7. 

Selina doesn’t even look up when you enter, her fingers scrolling through her phone with the occasional faint click of her nails against the screen. The lobby is empty, everyone’s already up at the venue you’d figure.

“You’re late,” she says, her voice flat, absent of any surprise. She doesn’t even bother to look at you yet.

You stop in your tracks, narrowing your eyes. “I’m late? You’re lucky that I even bothered to show up at all after your little stunt yesterday.”

Finally, she looks up at you with a blank, unreadable stare. “You’ve always had a… habit of overestimating your position, haven’t you? You can’t just trample over everyone and expect nothing to happen y’know.”

The words sting more than they should, but you don’t let it show. Not in front of her.

You sit down, placing your bag on the table, still seething. “I don’t have time for your games today, Selina. If you’ve got something to say, say it.”

She shrugs before resting her hands on her side with her hands, finally giving you her full attention. “If you’re going to want to keep your ‘queen bee’ title here, then I’ll let you. But don’t expect me to fall for it again. You don’t have the luxury of making mistakes anymore.”

Her gaze is cold, cutting through you like she’s already decided what your worth is. And you hate that she’s right. Because the truth is, you did make a mistake. You did let her get the bullet this time.

“Careful,” you warn her. “You’re getting way too close to the edge of the cliff.”

Selina doesn’t flinch. Instead, she relaxes her back and a subtle smile tugs at the corner of her lips. “You always did like pretending you’re the one in control. But deep down, we both know it’s always been me.”

You hold her gaze, resisting the urge to snap. She wants a reaction. She wants you to crumble. But not today. Not now.

“Well,” you say, your voice smooth, threatening too. “If you want to keep this little game going, I suggest you remember one thing. I made you. And I can unmake you just as easily.”

You can hear her swallow the lump in her throat as she retreats back to being your silly little minion. 

“By the way, before trying to put me down, you probably shouldn’t be using an out-of-season dress. It doesn’t even look good on you. I’d suggest you take it off but really… no dress looks good on you.” you mention because how did you look better when you only had 10 seconds to change out of your pyjamas?

She looks unimpressed, and used to it. “And your hair looks like a mess. I’d rather you wear a cheap wig off of the street rather than the bundle of whatever is going on with the top of your head.”

“Yet it looks better than yours. You only talk when spoken to.” you firmly state, sending shivers up her spine.

“R-right… sorry. What could I ever do to make it up to you?” she asks you. An idea pops up in your head.

—

You drop the keys into Selina’s hand, giving her time to mentally prepare to do what you told her to. What did you tell her to do? 

It’s nothing serious… only a few years in jail if she doesn’t mess up too much, no? 

She twists the key, opening the door to the… art museum. It was a pretty famous exhibit of artworks made by the one and only, charming prince Rafayel. You did your research. 

When nobody was looking, you took the liberty of “borrowing” Rafayel’s keys. The one you got was to the art museum and you left the house key with him, can’t play with him too much yet. You also knew that it took exactly 7 seconds for the alarm to start ringing as soon as it detected an intruder… or she could just be caught by Thomas. It was one or the other; only fate can decide it.

Once you saw that she was out of your sight, you fled the scene and started walking in the direction of where you came from. 

“Y/n?” someone calls out your name.

Fuck.

“Yes?” you twist around to see who it is. It’s Rafayel, one of MC’s friends. You didn’t really remember him at all because you were way too busy with MC.

“What are you doing here?” he asks, confused.

“Nothing… just… I got lost. The city is so big y’know.” you mention, giving him the most innocent eyes in the world. “Actually, can you help me home? I’m scared to go by myself.”

“U-uh… sure I can,” he agrees.

The walk home was way too awkward for your liking, most of the time it was you two bathing in the silence but then there were the occasional small talk starter questions: “Soo… how was your day today?” or “What do you think of the city so far?”

Anyways, you were successful. You managed to distract him from the fact that his museum’s alarm is going crazy right now and the police have started to arrive. You know because there is a really odd amount of spam calls coming into your phone the whole time you spent with him.

“Don’t you need to go get that…?” he finally asks.

“Hm? What are you talking about?” you play dumb.

He looks at you confused, isn’t your phone the ones that have been buzzing and ringing the whole time? He replies with,”Y’know… your calls or messages? It seems urgent.”

Suddenly, you had a feeling. You were bored; you had time. God forbid a girl has hobbies. “Nothing’s more urgent than you…” you say, hands snaking up his chest to his shoulders.

“W-what? Y/n, are you okay? Do I need to call Dr Zayne?” he asks.

“Ughhh… that guy… I would much prefer it if you were the one giving me the checkup tonight.” you whine, starting to close the distance between you two. Your arms wrapped around his neck, and you waited for him to reciprocate.

“Y/n, are you okay?” he asks again, still not returning your embrace.

You look up at him. “Yeah, I feel great— as I usually do.”

No words come out of his mouth for a while, then his lips crash onto yours. His lips were urgent against yours, like he’d been holding back for far too long. His hands finally settled on your waist, reluctant at first, but getting less and less slowly.

The kiss was desperate, both of you pulling each other in as if the other would disappear if you even loosened your grip a bit. Neither of you knew what the hell you were doing, but still chasing it anyway.

It tasted like heat and adrenaline and guilt. The flashing red and blue of police sirens barely visible in the far-off skyline, the chaotic ringing from your phone echoing through the hallway of your apartment… none of it mattered in that moment.

It was just you… and him… and the secret between your teeth.

When you finally pull away, you’re both breathless.

“Wow,” Rafayel mutters, almost to himself. “I… I didn’t think you actually…”

“You think too much,” you whisper, brushing your lips against the edge of his jaw. “That’s your problem.”

But inside, you’re already calculating.

Because while he’s melting in your hands, you know what he doesn’t. Because that museum of his?

It’s either been wiped empty by Selina, or completely infiltrated by cops.

And the real show hasn’t even started yet.

TheArchivist07 Post #010 April 14th. 7.02PM. R clearly doesn’t know who he’s dealing with

Seeing how the phone calls stopped, you’d figure it’s probably best to go back home rather than deal with the mess. 

—

You close the door behind you with a soft click, kicking off your heels. The silence in your apartment is almost too loud. There’s no music, people talking or fights. It’s just the soft hum of the air conditioning and your own heart still racing from… everything.

Your lips are still tingling from the kiss. Rafayel’s kiss. You never caught feelings for a guy, so why do you feel like this?

You don’t know if it was a mistake, a game, or just another distraction for you. You don't even care right now. You toss your phone onto the couch, heading to the kitchen for a glass of water.

Then, your phone lights up with a soft ding.

MC [8.08PM]: Can we talk?

Your stomach turns. You stare at the message. It’s short. Too short. It’s either the start of something serious… or the end of something worse.

MC [8.30PM]: I’m not mad. I just need to understand. Please.

Your fingers hover over the screen, debating. Should you respond now? Or do you leave her waiting?

You sigh, head falling back against the couch. You’re tired. You’re wired. And now… MC wants to talk? Perfect.

Without even responding or replying or leaving her on read, you just go to bed, totally ignorant. 

—

The morning sun slices through your blackout curtains like it has a personal vendetta against you.

Your head’s pounding. Your throat’s dry. Your eyelids feel heavy.

You groan, dragging yourself off the couch. The glass of water you meant to get? Untouched. The unread texts? Still there. The questions clawing at your brain? Louder than ever.

Ding dong.

What the hell?

You blink at the door, not fully processing it. Another ring. More impatient this time. You shuffle over, still half-asleep, and pull it open with zero grace.

And there your dear friend MC is standing in front of your door, looking… annoyed. Like she hasn’t slept either or something happened.

You stare at each other in silence for what feels like an entire lifetime. 

She’s the first to speak. “I figured you wouldn’t answer if I tried to text you again.”

You rub your eyes, trying to make sense of reality. “What are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t sleep. Not until I saw you.” she replies.

Your mouth opens, but no words come out. Not yet.

“I just need to know,” she says, voice much quieter now. “Do you even want to stay friends with me?”

You’re clearly shocked by the question by how you flinch back, and start thinking for a second. Do you even want her as a friend? Or just some puppet that you can summon wherever and whenever you need her to?

Nevertheless, you just say the most satisfying answer that comes to mind. “Yeah… I do. What is this about? What happened?”

“I heard you and Rafayel kissed last night… and you can’t even bother to talk to me. I’m not here to argue, I just wanted to ask why you don’t even want to talk to me.” she plops down on your couch.

“I’m sorry, okay, I didn’t mean to kiss him. Do you ahem—… like him…?” you inquire.

Quite different actually, she likes you. There’s just some things that we keep hidden to ourselves that you don’t need to know.

“No. Just wondering why you’re avoiding me— like I said.” she answers.

“Well, since you’re complaining about all this… would you like to come to a party with me next week?” you immediately regret it. But it’s her answer that shocks you even more honestly.

“Actually… Why don’t you take Zayne?” MC proposed. “He’s been tense, so he really needs to loosen up.”

You roll your eyes for what feels like the umpteenth time and reply annoyingly, “Why don’t you wanna go? I mean he’s a good for nothing los—”

Then, she puts her hand on top of yours and squeezes tightly. Being the touch-starved you, you didn’t shove her hand away.

And, that’s how you end up bringing Zayne as your plus one for the masquerade. You had no idea how you were so easily bamboozled by MC but at the same time, she’s got you wrapped around her finger so easily that it would be weird if you didn’t take her advice.

With the assistance of Selina, you ensured that both you and Zayne were dressed perfectly for the event. You had also briefed him on what is supposed to happen in a masquerade and what he’s supposed to do. Although he said he gets it, you still feel anxious about it. I mean, what could you expect from a loser who hangs near sick patients all day— how do you know he’s not sick?

“Zayne, you don’t get it— you have to look perfect or else you’ll ruin both of our reputations in one go.” you explain to him to which he only replies with a soft hum.

“Sure… sure.” and that’s it. He didn’t even bother to look into your eyes.

You couldn’t ever express how frustrated you were but as long as it ended fine, you did great.

You were on your way home from picking up both of your outfits, then you saw a particularly familiar white-haired boy. You didn’t slow down, didn’t stop either— actually, he was the one who stepped into your path like the sidewalk was his personal runway.

“Hey,” he said, like he wasn’t the exact kind of person you didn’t want to deal with right now.

You should’ve ignored him. Should’ve rolled your eyes, kept walking.

Instead, you smiled sweetly and scanned his outfit. It wasn’t particular interesting aside from the fact that he looked like a mess— a mess you didn’t want to deal with.

“You look gross,” you said, tilting your head. “Fresh out the dump?”

He laughed at your words—because of course he did. He wasn’t the type to get offended. He was the type to enjoy it.

“Aw, is that your way of saying you missed me?” he asked, eyes flicking down to the bags in your hands. “New outfits? You buying stuff to impress me?”

You scoffed. “You think anyone would shop with you in mind?”

“Just calling it like I see it,” he said, stepping a little closer, too close. “Besides… I think it’s cute. You pretending not to like me and all.”

You leaned in just slightly and got closer to his ear. “I’m not pretending.”

“Hmm,” he hummed, smile sharpening. “We’ll see.”

And the worst part? The absolute worst part is that you let him walk beside you for the next block.

He wasn’t super annoying but annoying enough to make you have to sigh ten times in a second.

“Shouldn’t you be going now? Maybe getting a life— oh wait! You don’t have one.” you finally say.

He looks amused, he was expecting that from you. “As usual, you have no filter.”

“Ugh whatever, just get far away from me.” you say, giving him a disgusted look.

He chuckles lightly. “Okay okay, see you around y/n.” he says, waving goodbye at you as he walks away.

You don’t wave back. “Finally that bitch is gone” you murmur to yourself, picking the bags back up to start walking again. Selina’s already on the venue’s decoration duty so you had to take care of yourself this time. Oh how it sucks to be independent.

—

The limousine had stopped in front of the grand venue, only the low hum of its engine mixing with the chatter outside. People were flocked outside the door, waiting for you to come out to pounce at you with questions.

“Are you ready?” Zayne extends his hand out to you and you take it, going out of the limousine.

Flashes of cameras flood your vision, but Zayne’s there to guide your way. He swore he was so close to using his evol to cataclysm everyone on site from the way he was death staring everyone.

One part of the crowd was cheering stuff like:

“AAHHH Y/N L/N LOOK HERE!!” 

“I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S YOU!!”“YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!”

“WHO’S THE HANDSOME GUY?!?!”

“I’M A BIG FAN!! PLEASE AUTOGRAPH”

While the other part of the crowd could be like:

“Y/n, do you mind answering a few questions about politics?”“What is your opinion on the archivist?”

“Why did you disappear for so long?”

“What happened when you disappeared?”

“What are your plans for the future?”

TheArchivist07 Post #011 April 22nd. 7:35PM. Y/n’s got the crowd excited After all, what do you expect from a queen bee's return?

They’re all similarly just looking for their turn to get their biggest scoop on you, but you don’t allow it. They have to earn it, and it’s not by shoving a camera into your face when you’re vulnerable.

Making your way into the safety of the venue, you put on the mask and started greeting everyone… with Zayne on the side just following around but did occasionally greet them too.

“Ooh, who is this handsome guy?” a woman teases. “Mind if I have a turn with him?”

Her tone is clearly joking, and you can tell she’s an older woman just looking for some fun so you don’t take offense.

“For all I care, go ahead.” you reply… jokingly? But you can’t help but feel conflicted about your relationship with him. You really thought you had no feelings for him, but something formed during the time you spent together preparing. 

Like that time you asked him to zip up your dress when you brought him dress shopping. And when you almost tripped, he caught you right on time. You don’t know if it was just admiration or romantic feelings but you definitely had something for him, even if it was platonic.

Sad that he doesn’t think the same way.

At the same time, no matter how hard you tried to forget, he was still there— buried in the corners of your mind, the boy you had loved for what felt like forever… right up until the moment he vanished. Why did he have to leave? Why you? Did he ever stop to think about what that did to you? Did he ever feel an ounce of regret?

But deep down, the truth gnawed at you. It was your fault. You were the one who ruined it. You were reckless. You were selfish. You were stupid.

And the worst of all? You’d do anything just to feel close to him one last time.

You spent years trying to deny it even happened. Sometimes people even felt scared that you were “talking to yourself” but you were really speaking to the ghosts of him. 

Then, after some time, it shifted to forgetting it ever happened. It worked for a while before it started to come up again; everything reminded you of him. Everytime you’d see a guy with even one simple feature that looked like him, it felt like your whole world shattered when you saw them turn around and it wasn’t him.

Then, it changed to hurting yourself in the forms of starvation, wounding yourself, and even sleep depriving yourself. Nothing ever made you feel better. You felt like you deserved nothing while he deserved everything, you just couldn’t give it to him.

Finally, your parents sent you to therapy. Out of all the methods, it probably worked the best. They were glad when they saw you improving and just kept sending you there. Your last session was 1 hour before the flight back to the city, and you’ve never bothered to find another.

Enough of the sad, boring stuff, parties are for fun. You’re supposed to be all hyped and jumping up and down, excited for the activities. You can’t sour the mood.

Zayne— being the boring man that he is— just stayed on the outskirts of the party, alone. So you took responsibility and tried to bring him to the dance floor. But it ended up with you staying with him with the bartender.

“One neat whiskey for you sir, and anything for you ma’am?” the guy behind the counter asks.

“W-what… you bought a drink? Didn’t think you were the type to even drink.” you say. “Anyways, I’ll just take water, thanks.”

“Just that?” He raises an eyebrow. “She’ll take a whiskey too then.”

You suddenly feel your heart stopping. He was super insistent to getting you a drink. “Why’d you do that?”

“You need to relieve yourself. You look stressed.” he says.

“Ugh whatever. I can do that by doing something else.” you complain, leaning on the counter.

“Then, go do it.” he responds.

He’s so boring and stoic and dull. You were hoping you could change him but he wouldn’t even comply with one of your requests, it was probably you complying with his actually.

Once the drinks arrived, you felt your heart skip a beat again. You didn’t want to drink so early into the party; You didn’t even want to drink again.

Something about drinking in front of him seemed so terrifying, like there was a gut instinct telling you not to. 

“Y/NNNNN! DRINKKK!!!!! TAKE THE SHOTT!!!” a person shouts from the crowd, and everyone turns their head towards you. 

In less than a blink of an eye, everyone’s attention was on you now. It’s not like you weren’t used to it though.

“Ugh… sorry guys, I can’t… I really really shouldn’t…” you sigh, earning a disappointed whine from the crowd.

“Oh come on y/n, just drink a bit. If anything happens, I’ll be here.” Zayne says.

You haven’t drunk around people for a long time, terrified that it would happen again. That you would lose another if you lost yourself around someone else. It was the whole reason that you never dared to get too close to someone ever again: the world practically ended when it happened to you.

“Drink y/n!” the people all cheered in unison. 

“Zayne please don’t make me do this, tell everyone to stop.” you beg him.

“Silly girl, just listen to everyone. It’ll work out just fine, trust me.” is what he replies with.

Reluctantly and apprehensively, with Zayne’s approval, you take the shot, chugging it all down in one gulp. You forgot how strong the burning feeling that followed was. After all, it had been a long time since you’ve taken shots.

For the rest of the time you spent at the party, you limited yourself to only 5 shots but you ended up drinking around… fifteen? You couldn’t remember, but Zayne was barely affected after ten of them. 

Once you decided you wanted to go home, you told Zayne and he agreed. Then, you two went out of the party to see…

“Zayne, give me your phone.” you demand of him.

“Why exa—” he stops mid sentence as soon as he sees you take the phone out of his pocket.

With a quick flash of his camera, you take a photo of the scene before you. For some odd reason, you just felt really awakened once you realised what was happening.

“Hey— what the hell!” the guy screams… then his eyes widen when he realises it's you. “W-wait… nonono, what did you just do?”

“Took a photo of you— since I’m just… ugh… such a big fan and all… I bet your girlfriend would be a big fan of this too.” you say, holding up the photo of him kissing another girl. 

“Wait.” he tries to grab your wrist before Zayne intercepts. He places himself in between you two like a barrier. 

“Z, don’t.” your tone is firm. You can do it yourself, you don’t need a stupid man to take care of you and he knows that. He silently sends the guy a death glare and then moves out of your way.

“How much?” he asks.

“Oh—! Finally you’re asking the good questions. I knew that brain of yours was more than just for sex.” you smile at him cheekily. “10k maybe?”

“Done.” said the guy, the girl pretty much long gone from the scene. 

Scanning his face, you see he’s glad. The price you set was probably pocket change for him so you did what any other sane person would do. “Actually… let’s bump it up… 100k?”

“O-one hundred k? That’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it?” he asks in a shocked tone.

It’s getting good now.

“No— not at all actually… but maybe you think your girlfriend isn’t worth 100k… Might as well tell her if you don’t value her enough to not hurt her feelings.” you reply.

“F-fuck! Fine… 100k. No more, no less.” he admits defeat.

“That’s more like it. I better get that transfer by 8 PM today or else… you know. Ta-ta~!” you bid him goodbye.

Hooking your arm around Zayne’s, you walk away with him. 

“Weren’t you a bit too rough with him, my love?” he asks.

Honestly, mentioning it now, you do kind of felt like you were a bit too hard on him. But, cheating on someone isn’t exactly a good thing either. “I-I don’t know…”

“...” he says nothing.

“Be honest, do you think I’m a whore?” you suddenly start interrogating him.

TheArchivist07 Post #012 April 22nd. 11:27PM. As the saying says, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew”, y/n

He thinks for a second, looking up at the sky as if it had the answer. “Hmm, do you sleep around a lot?” asked Zayne.

You think for a second, knowing you couldn’t say no to the question. Despite trying to stop it, you never really stopped. “M-maybe…”

“Then there’s your answer.” he states firmly, with his usual stoic calmness.

Without even realising what happened, tears just started welling up in your eyes— droplets sliding down your cheek and onto the hard, concrete pavement. 

Zayne seems visibly shocked as soon as he sees you crying. He didn’t say anything for a while, just rubbing the tears off with his thumb. To him, you looked beautiful crying— but not for this. He’d much prefer for you to be crying from pleasure rather than actual sadness.

“Z-zayne… everything hurts…” you manage to mumble in between sobs. “E-everything feels so— so— so hot… please make it stop…”

‘Did the drink I gave really work this fast?’ was what went through his mind, but you don’t know that. You never will. Using his hand, he feels your forehead for a fever. “No fever, you don’t feel hot from the outside at all.”

But on your end, you felt hot— flaming hot. You didn’t know what was happening; everything just hurt really bad. It was as if someone was burning you from the inside with a torch. 

“Can you walk?” he questions. 

“Y-yeah…” your head is spinning in circles now; there was a high-pitched ringing sound in your ear that wouldn’t stop either. 

In a panic, he slips an arm beneath your knees and the other behind your back before picking you up bridal style

“W-what are you doing…?” you breathe out, a bit startled but too much in a haze to care.

“Bringing you home,” he replies, voice low. He’s resolute, he thinks this is the only way.

—

The first thing he did as soon as you two arrived at his place was to put you down onto his bed… and get on top of you.

“Z-zayne… what are you doing?” you try to push him away, but he quickly grabs hold of both of your wrists.

“S-stop! Let go of me!” you scream.

He doesn't flinch. His pupils dilate and there’s a flash of something dark in his eyes… but it’s not angry. Just... intent. He’s intended for this to happen. He’s planned this to happen. It’s the inevitable now.

“I’ve been thinking about this for so long,” he murmurs. “You don’t understand what you do to me.”

You squirm beneath him, desperately trying to break free from his grasp which only tightens. There’s no malice in his expression— only a filthy, dirty obsession. Like he’s grateful you're here. Like this moment is something he’s been dreaming of. Like he’s been reciting this exact same scene in his head multiple times he could act it out to a T.

“Y’know you’re so perfect for me,” he gets closer to your neck, giving it a long wet kiss before starting to bite into the skin, leaving semi-permanent marks. You knew you were going to remember it, even if it faded away. 

“You were made for me, molded for me, shaped for me. Don’t you get it? This is fate. I know you don’t see it yet, but you will by the end of this.”

“Z-zayne… please… you don’t want to do this.” you beg him, but they just go in one ear and out the other.

“No, my love… I do want this. And you’ll want it to. I’ll make you beg for it.” he added, his voice in a dark tone. “You keep letting other men have sex with you— let me in too.”

“S-stop! Stop or I’ll tell mc!” you shriek.

He freezes in his spot, but not out of fear of being snitched… but out of disbelief. “My beloved… She helped make this happen… Wasn’t it weird when she told you to come to the party with me rather than her?”

That’s the moment it all seeps in for you. Everything that has happened with all of them just snaps into place. 

You didn’t know how long you were zoned out of it, because when you came back to reality… Zayne’s shaft was already disappearing into your body, kissing the deepest parts of your hole with every snap of his hips.

“Ugh… you’re so tight…” he mumbles in your neck, hand fondling with your tits.

Your dress was pulled from the top all the way down to your waist while your underwear was now resting at your ankles. Your bra was pushed up so high, it revealed the soft flesh that laid beneath it.

You couldn’t think anymore… you couldn’t feel anymore. The only thing that was able to process in your head was the feeling of his cock buried deep inside you. It was passionate… slow… deliberate…

He wasn’t rough, he didn’t hold you as if you were going to disappear. He was loving. His touch was soft, caring to not to break you, as if you were a fragile piece of art. The rhythm he started with was gentle, letting you adjust to something more comfortable before going rougher. He knew you were still out of it, so he decided to be lenient.

If it were any other day, he can’t guarantee he would be as lenient.

TheArchivist07 Post #013 April 22nd. 8:12PM. Look out y/n,  You can’t underestimate the determination of a sex-deprived man.

—

“So, you couldn’t find an actual proper way to have sex with me so you decided to poison me with whatever the hell you poisoned me with… and raped me? I don’t think you reali—” you turn around on your seat… to see… your parents?

They look disappointed in you, as if you’d just done something wrong… this time, it’s super wrong. 

Slam!

The loud bang woke you up. It was just a dream… phew. You can’t describe how relieved you feel honestly. 

You let out a shaky breath, but something feels wrong. It’s all off, everything’s eerily weird. The ceiling above you isn’t yours. The faint scent in the room, the sheets, the dim lighting… none of it is familiar.

Your pulse quickens.

This isn’t your room.

You sit up abruptly, looking around in a panic. The bed you’re on is way too soft, you usually liked it a bit hard and the room was too nice, everything was quite neat compared to the mess you usually had. You’re in a whole new set of clothes too. Who the hell changed you? You don’t see your bag or your phone either. 

What the hell?

That’s when your eyes land on the phone on the nightstand. Definitely not yours. The wallpaper shows a not super blurred photo… like it was taken accidentally. But you know that phone. You’ve seen it in his hands.

Zayne.

Your breath catches.

You hesitate, then reach for the phone. You know it’s wrong, you know it’s invasive, but you can’t help yourself. Your thumb hovers, and to your surprise, the screen lights up. It’s unlocked.

Why is it unlocked?

You glance over your shoulder like someone might burst through the door, then quickly swipe through the messages. Most are boring. One’s from Sylus. Another from Xavier.

But then—

A message from a group chat named… “The y/n project.” There were practically thousands of messages sent in the group chat starting from… April 13th? Wasn’t that the day you came back?

You started reading the chats from this morning. The first one was sent from Zayne.

Zayne [6:36AM]: [Image]

Zayne [6:36AM]: She looked so peaceful sleeping. I could’ve kept her forever.

Sylus [6:37AM]: What if we just told her… maybe she wouldn’t run. But maybe I don’t want her to have a choice.

MC [6:40AM]: Bad idea… she’d run away, like the little bitch she is.

Caleb [6:42AM]: Let her run. I’d enjoy chasing her.

Rafayel [6:43AM]: We all know how this will end. She stays. She’s going to stay.

Caleb [6:44AM]: I don’t think she remembers what happened when she disappeared but we can’t let it happen again and that’s probably for the best.

Sylus [6:46AM]: Then we don’t let it happen. Do anything and everything it takes to keep her where we need her to be.

Zayne [6:48AM]: She’s already halfway there. She wants to trust us. She always does.

MC [6:49AM]: It’s cute how she thinks she still has a choice.

Xavier [6:50AM]: So when do we do it?

Then, nothing… You felt sick to your stomach. They’d been stalking and talking about you ever since you’d arrived.

Your breath hitches, fingers trembling as you place the phone back exactly where you found it. You swing your legs off the bed, trying not to make a sound.

You need to get out of here… like now. But then, why leave when things are getting good?

TheArchivist07 Post #014 April 23rd. 7:59AM. Nobody messes with a bitch and expect nothing in return What’s your move y/n?

You pick up Zayne’s phone again… and press the on record button. “Ngh~ It hurts… stop it Zayne… A-ahh…” you moan into the phone, anddd… sent.

You had no idea where Zayne even was, he could literally be anywhere in and out of the house. 

The phone flooded with texts and calls but you couldn’t bother. Seeing how messed up they were, they’d probably be better off in solitary confinement.

Speak of the devil, you look up and see the doctor. He has a breakfast-in-bed table all prepared for you in his hand and the other holding the door open. 

“Morning, sunshine,” Zayne says with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. His gaze flicks to the bed, then to the phone on the table, and back to you.

You put on your most convincing smile. “You didn’t have to do all this for me,” you say, voice sugary sweet, even though you're internally screaming at yourself to punch him right across the face… but oh well.

He sets the tray down gently in front of you. “Well, after everything, you deserve to be pampered a little. Rest, food, peace…” He pauses. “Safety.”

You can tell he’s watching you carefully now, like he’s trying to figure out if you know something you’re not supposed to. Which you do. Of course you do.

“Oh, I feel very safe,” you say, grabbing a piece of toast and taking a bite like nothing is wrong. Like you didn’t just find out he and everyone else have been planning to trap you in some psychotic group project.

He sits beside the bed, fingers steepled in thought. “You’re shaking.”

You glance down. Dammit. Your fingers haven’t stopped trembling since you saw that chat. You quickly tuck them under the blanket and chuckle, “Just cold.”

He leans in slightly, close enough for you to see the shift in his eyes. That softness? Gone. “You were snooping, weren’t you?”

Your breath catches again for a second. Then you smile and tilt your head. “Is that what you think?”

He doesn't answer right away. His eyes move to the phone. He saw the notifications. He knows something’s off.

“I just want what’s best for you,” he murmurs.

“Funny,” you reply. “I was just thinking the same thing.”

And just like that, the game resets. You're not just surviving anymore. You’re playing.

“Y’know… when you’re snooping, you’re not supposed to leave traces.” he says, showing you his phone screen with the voice message you sent. 

You giggle awkwardly, then you make a break for it, but Zayne moves fast, slamming the door shut with his body. His eyes don’t even blink.

“You think we didn’t know what you’d do once you saw the chat?” he says, voice low.

Footsteps echo down the hallway outside the room.

“Zayne,” a familiar voice calls. MC. “She saw it, didn’t she?”

Zayne smirks slightly, he’s full on smiling if you were to squint. “Mmhm. Just like we planned.”

The door opens behind him, and in walk Sylus and Xavier, followed by Caleb and Rafayel, all calm. Too calm. The kind of calm that feels like a trap shutting. MC is the last to enter. 

“You always think you’re the smartest in the room, Y/n,” he says, slipping his phone into his pocket. “But you read the wrong messages.”

Sylus crosses his arms, eyes switching between you and Zayne. “The real plan wasn’t in that chat. That was just… insurance. We knew you’d look.”

“Honestly, I’m impressed. That voice message? Bold move.” Xavier joins in. 

“But you know what’s bolder?” Caleb steps forward, eyes glittering. “Thinking you could play us.”

“You’re not the only one with games, sweetheart,” Rafayel says smoothly. “So go ahead. Make your next move.”

You glance at the door, then at all of them. You’re surrounded, trapped by five men who know your tells, your past, your fears. And MC, the one who started it all, standing at the center like this was her little trap and you’ve just fallen into it.

“So,” MC says, eyes dark. “Wanna tell us why you’ve been acting so rebellious, so naughty? Or should we show you what it looks like when we all want to teach you a lesson?”

TheArchivist07 Post #015 April 23rd. 8:28AM. Looks like this is gonna be a long discussion for you y/n

[caxasy]

thinking about your caleb oral fixation fic and i raise you: reader who loves candy, but loves Caleb more.

i’m talking bout a reader who sees Caleb put an apple hard candy in his mouth so reader pulls him to a private area and makes out with him so hard so he can steal the candy from Caleb.

i’m talking bout a reader who’s about to give a big speech, notecards in hand, before realizing he has a lollipop in his mouth. so he finds Caleb backstage and gives him his lollipop for “safe-keeping” and so Caleb won’t “miss him too much” while he’s on-stage giving his speech.

bonus: mc who loves candy because of reader and Caleb, getting a cavity, so her only way to “eat” candy is to taste the leftover sugar on Caleb’s or reader’s mouth after they’re done with it.

does this make sense or am i insane…

i like this so much i will now be writing a little headcanon now basically with everything you just said.

cw: suggestive, sharing candy, so saliva is being shared too yall, lowk spit kink LMAO sorry im self indulgent

not proofread, i got excited and wanted to post this asap rocky please ignore any oddities in the writing if there are any.

— keep all the seeds

the sound of hard candy against teeth was such a satisfying sound. the sound alone can make you salivate. so when you heard even the tiniest sound of it, you were walking into caleb's room without any hesitation.

he knew how much you loved hard candy. he knew how your eyes would zero in on any piece of sugar that he has, how much you truly loves sweets. at this point, he was doing this just to get this exact reaction out of you. but it's okay, you'll give it to him. indulge him in his comedically unsubtle foreplay of what was to come.

"hey, what're you doing here? looking for something, you look like you're looking for something," he asked, a smirk on his face because he already knew the answer.

"shut up, you're such a brat," your words are harsh, but they're delivered with a smile on your face. you toss the phone he was holding to the side, kneeling on his bed and pushing him against his headboard.

without any more words exchanged, your lips were against his. he smiled, the hard candy in his cheek more visible now with the stretch of his lips. it was an aggressive kiss, you'll admit, but with the way his fingers were gripping your hips and waist, you knew he wasn't complaining.

your hand was on the back of his head, keeping him still while the other moved down his neck. gently squeezing, you forced him to gasp, allowing you entry into his mouth. he moaned into you at the feeling of your tongue against his.

but then he whined when you pulled away, taking the sweet candy from his mouth with a victorious look on your face.

"you're mean," he shuffles beneath you, rutting his hips ever so slightly upwards into you, "c'mere, please,"

"i like when you beg like that," you suck loudly on the candy in a mocking way, "but no, you got exactly what you wanted, babe,"

"not enough,"

"you're just so greedy, huh?"

"please," his bottom lip juts out as his eyes zero in on your cheek hallowed in, sucking the apple candy with a smirk on your face. his jaw is hanging open, tongue peaking out very slightly, begging you to come back to him.

you hum at the sight, a coo coming from you that makes him melt like putty underneath you. you adjust your positioning over him, biting back the smile as you feel him underneath you. he whimpers at the weight, fingers digging so hard into your skin you're sure he'll leave bruises.

with you now more comfortable on top of him, you're almost towering over him. you lean down and he's already shutting his eyes in preparation for your kiss, making you smile at his adorable expression.

you squeeze his face, forced his mouth open. his eyes widened instantly at the feeling, eyebrows furrowing together in confusion. but then he sees you, balancing the now flat candy on your tongue and a sinister smirk on your face.

understanding you instantly, he drops his jaw open for you like a tired dog begging for a sip of water, tongue out and waiting for you. when you drop the candy back onto his tongue, he instantly closes his mouth and sucks on the sweet candy you two have now shared.

"good boy," you praise, roughly patting his cheek in encouragement, "now i'll leave you alone to deal with that problem of yours,"

"help your boyfriend," he groans, annoyed at you for getting off of him and pleadingly looking at you. "hey, hyung, i'm- please!"

you laugh, walking out of his room and enjoying the sound of his whines.

— lollipop

caleb was dressed in his best outfit. today was your graduation ceremony and you were delivering the valedictorian speech. he couldn't be any prouder, so of course, he had to look the part.

he wanted to look good, to make you proud to be heere with him just as proud as he was of you to be graduating at the top of your class. he used lily's camera as a mirror to adjust his tie, the girl huffing in annoyance to have to keep her arm propper up for so long.

"you look fine, caleb, stop worrying about your stupid tie," she says, well, more like whines, "my arm is tired too!"

"is it just me or is it slanted?"

"it's just you," she says with a deadpan expression.

"i just want to look good, pips, help me out," caleb only really cares about looking good for you, but he desperately wants to look good for you.

"why don't you just ask him yourself, he's coming over," lily's face brightens when she sees you walking towards them, a smile on your face and a lollipop pressed to the inside of your cheek.

"you guys are here, i've been looking for you two for so long," you pop the lollipop out of your mouth so the stick end doesn't get tangled up in lily's hair when you go down to hug her.

you then move to caleb, pressing a quick peck to his lips before pulling away, "you look so handsome," you compliment and it makes his cheeks for red.

"you look handsome too, hyung," seriously, you in your graduation gown and cap were doing things to him. you looked so handsome, the amount of chords you had around your neck were also not helping how weak his knees were feeling now. he never knew he'd think intelligience was something that could be this attractive to him, but it was.

"here, can you keep this for me, though? i can't really bring it on stage," he's so spaced out he doesn't even know what you're talking about, he just nods and waits for you to give whatever it was to him.

but when he feels the bulb of your lollipop push past his lips and rest in his mouth, he nearly chokes in surprise. the lollipop you had been nursing and sucking for the past couple of minutes was now resting in his mouth. and you quickly bid them goodbye, shouting a "don't miss me too much!" before you're running off backstage to go practice one more time before the ceremony starts.

if it wasn't for lily to be there to act as a support, caleb definitely would've fell to his knees right then and there.

"caleb! you're heavy, get off!" she cries out, but he's still drowning in the sweetness that you gifted him. "oh my god, you're acting like you two don't do worse than that almost every night. you two piss me off,"

he's still on cloud 9.

— bonus: caleb x male reader x mc

"just a lick! please, it won't hurt!" she whines, tugging on the collar of your shirt to get you to look at her. but you're stronger and more resilient than her, which she usually loves about you, but now it's annoying her. "oppa, please,"

"don't try sweet talking your way out of this," caleb teases, leaning into your other side and nuzzling into your neck, "your punishment for not being responsible, pips,"

"shut up caleb, no one was talking to you," she sticks her tongue out to him, then goes back to begging you. "oppa, please, just a lick,"

you sigh, sensing that continuously denying her won't get you anywhere. so you take the lollipop out of your mouth and you almost have pity for her and give in, but you shove the candy into caleb's mouth instead. he's looking at you offended, but can't even say anything to you as you're now zeroed in on satisfying lily.

"you're gonna stop whining for it afterwards?" she gulps at your tone, leaning into your touch and nodding her head. "i'll hold you to it, lily,"

and you're pressing yourself into her before she can properly react. the kiss is immediately turned into an open-mouthed, sloppy mess, but she isn't complaining. she tastes the sweetness of the lollipop, the ruby red that stains your tongue now transferring onto hers.

caleb can only watch with wide eyes as you two viciously, practically ferally, make out in front of him. lily is leaning into the couch cushions so far that she's practically laying down now, you on top of her with your legs slotted in between hers.

he pouts feeling left out and angrily sucking the lollipop you had given him.

finally, after what feels like forever, you pull away from her and laugh at the cherry red that stains her tongue and lips, so much so it almost looks like a gloss. mixing it in with the saliva coating her lips, it definitely looks like her favorite lippie.

"that enough sweetness for you?"

"hm, i think i need more," she hums, cheekily grinning at you as she plays with the hair at the base of your neck, "oppa's so sweet to me, hm?"

you roll your eyes at her familiar perssuasive tone, bringing her to sit up and carrying her onto your lap, "ask caleb for some more, i'm drained out of all possible sweetness," her eyes widen at that, now laser focusing on caleb that was right next to you two.

"caleb," she says in a sing song voice.

and the other man takes the lollipop out of his mouth, kissing you feverishly for a second before immediately moving onto lily. you chuckle at his greediness, plucking the lollipop from his hands and watching as he shifts lily from your lap onto his.

"two greedy brats," you roll your eyes, sucking the lollipop once more and going back to scrolling on your phone as the two next to you exchange the sweetness lingering on their tongues.

ten minutes later, the three of you are still in, what felt like, a never ending cycle, continuing on with these antics until you finally bite the lollipop down to crush it into mini pieces in your mouth.

"i'm cutting both of you off before you," you point a finger at lily who pouts, "get more cavities, and you," caleb whines as you direct your strict behavior to him, "from getting cavities,"

they both whine and complain for more, but you don't give in to their puppy dog eyes. you seriously had to babysit your boyfriend and girlfriend like you were their father or something.

Princely MC

Description: What happens when a normal girl meets a beautiful female ikeman?

Pairing: MC × Reader

——————————————————————————

It's a beautiful day! Calm sun rays, gentle breeze, not too hot, not too cold. Perfect weather for a perfect day right?

Yeah- no.

You don't have time to revel in the nice weather as you run through the park. You had woken up late, had no time to shower or apply any makeup, and you were getting texts from your boss asking when you were coming in.

So yeah, not a great start to the morning, but hey! What else could go wrong?

I'll tell you what else; a couple of kids playing soccer.

Or more specifically, a couple of kids playing soccer, and one kicking the ball a little too hard. Causing it to come flying at you. As you watch it falling towards you, you freeze waiting for the impact and pain.

Maybe you could use it as an excuse to get out of work?

Right before it can hit you though, a figure obscures your vision, a long leg flies up and kicks the ball away.

Once your life is no longer in mortal danger, the figure turns around, exposing a young woman with long brown hair, and pretty brown eyes.

You froze as she peered down at you, she was only a little taller, but its enough if a height difference that you have to tilt your head up to look into her honey brown eyes. She looked so cool! She wore a long black sleeve jacket over a red tube piece and black pants that accentuate her long and elegant legs.

For a moment you don't hear anything, somehow infatuated with this incredible woman and examining her entire face, until you get to her lips. They were moving, had she been talking the entire time!?

Quickly honing back in you asked.

"Uh, huh?"

She chuckled for a second, a cute noise as she brought her hand up to mouth.

"I asked you if you were okay." GODS!! Her voice was so pretty! It was gentle yet firm, and it was a little deeper than most girls, but still feminine!

You couldn't help but blush, here you were just going about your crappy morning, when suddenly heaven sends you a prince in a beautiful girl's body! The God's must have felt bad for you...

Quickly shaking your head and almost getting whiplash you look up at her.

"N-no. I-I mean yes! I'm okay!" Why were you stuttering!? It's just a normal woman! Yeah she kicked a ball away before it could hit you! And yeah she was pretty hot by normal standards. But this is no time to be so weak!

"That's good," She spoke gently, lifting a hand up to your hair and gently plucking a leaf out of it. "I would hate to see a cute girl like you get hurt."

. . .

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! SHE IS SO COOL! Is she flirting with you!? You can't tell! But that was like straight out of a fairytale! Compose yourself! At the very least thank her!

But before you can even get the words out she looks back behind her and turning back to you.

"I have to get going now, stay safe!" She turns around and starts jogging back to a group of men.

And she's gone.

Gone for good...

You blew it...

Good job.

Speaking of blowing it, weren't you late for work?

———{□}———

You were, in fact, very late.

You got chewed out by your manager, in front of your other coworkers and some customers. It was embarrassing to say the least. It didn't help that you were on shuffling duty, you worked at a decent store that sold plenty of stylish clothing, shoes and accessories, and alot of customers don't know how to put things back where they found them. So there you were, busy busting your ass, picking up hefty boxes of shoes and carrying them to their proper places.

It wasn't easy, you weren't weak by any means, but you're one person! Carrying a pile of boxes that obscure your vision! Not to mention there was an influx of customers, meaning your coworkers who were helping them, kept piling more boxes on top of you!

It got to the point your entire field of view was impeded by the boxes you had to carry, yeah you knew your way around the store, but you were about to either drop everything or bump into someone!

AND YOU WERE STILL HUNG UP ABOUT THAT GIRL!

You deeply regretted not getting her name, let alone her number! She really was very gorgeous. Dark brown hair that shone almost bronze in the sunlight, long and straight that framed her face so elegantly. Long, dark eyelashes that surrounded her beautiful brown eyes, and her iris' were like caramel mixed with chocolate. It looked like she wore a little bit of eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss but that was it. No heavy make up that changed the shaped of her face, meaning she was so beautiful all on her own.

You couldn't help but let out a small sigh in remembrance of her gaze, firm yet so gentle. You couldn't stop wondering about her, how sweet her voice was, how quick she was, and her strong legs.

You were so lost in thought you didn't see the box on the floor in front of you, not like you could see it through the boxes you were still carrying. Your foot gets caught on the box, causing you to trip and fall forward. You let out a yelp as you feel your body closing in on the ground, when suddenly you get the weirdest sense of deja vu.

A hand suddenly shoots out and wraps around your middle, keeping you from falling, whilst another arm quickly grabs the boxes you were carrying all on one hand. You hadn't even realized you closed your eyes until you hesitantly open them, peering up at your savior.

"We really ought to stop meeting like this." A familiar voice chuckled.

Soon you were face to face with the hottie from this morning. The only difference was that her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, and piercings lacing her ears.

HOW IS SHE EVEN COOLER!???

If this were an anime you'd be doing the weird whine from behind your fist as hearts form in your eyes.

In fact, I think that is what you were doing.

You were definitely ogling this poor woman, although if she noticed, she didn't care. She just helped you stand up, keeping her hand on your lower back as she kept you steady.

"You alright hun?"

You barely muster out a breathy mhm, continuing to stare at her, examining her figure you noticed she was wearing a button up shirt with rolled up sleeves, slacks and suspenders, and watch on her wrist.

She looked like an ikeman from your animes!! She looked at the boxes in her hand and back to you, her brow furrowed a little.

"This is alot for one person to carry, why don't I help you?"

"R-really? You would do that?" Your eyes were definitely sparkling at her, you were almost melting from how awesome she is.

She just chuckles and nods.

"Of course, anything for a cute girl like yourself." She said with a wink.

God's if you weren't swooning so much you'd start squealing like a fangirl meeting their favorite celebrity. Actually, this girl was quickly becoming your favorite celebrity!

You accept her offer of help, taking half of the boxes and leaving her the rest. You actually took less than her but only because she wouldn't let you carry anymore.

"I'm perfectly fine carrying this much."

And it was certainly true! I mean she already carried all of the boxes in one hand before handing some off to you. You lead her to a section just before the back, placing the boxes in your hands down and going to take the ones from hers.

"H-here, let me!" You shakingly reach for them, your hand brushing against hers as you take them. You blush as you feel her long fingers slip out from yours and carry the boxes to a counter.

"Thank you so much!" You began sorting the boxes. At least moving them off of eachother.

"It's alright! You don't need to thank me."

"But I want to!" You quickly turned around, your hand hitting the corner of the table realy hard and with a loud thwack!

"Ow!" You quickly hold your hand to your chest.

"Are you alright?" She asked worried. You smile and nod, looking down at your hand which was already bruising.

You frowned at the ugly blemish, groaning that today was just not your day.

Without noticing, the girl quickly came up to you and gently took your hand in hers.

You were about to inquire what she was doing when suddenly, she bent a little and lifted your hand up to her lips and gave the bruise a small tender kiss.

You felt your face explode in blush when you felt her lips against the back of your hand.

She looked back up at you with a smile and a playful gleam in her eyes.

"There, feel better?" Her voice was low and much more quiet, it almost felt erotic despite the fact she was kissing your booboo like a mother would a child.

You barely manage to stammer out an answer when she chuckles and stands up straight, lifting her own hand she playfully ruffles your hair a little.

"Hey, I gotta get back to my group, take care!" She turns around and begins walking away from you.

Quickly snapping out of your haze you you stumble after her.

"W-wait! Can I at least get your name??"

She stops, turning around and smiling at you with creased eyes.

"Of course! Call me MC!" And with that, she leaves. Again.

MC...? Even her name is cool... although it's not very helpful. But, at least you got to put a name to a face.

To a very cool, pretty face.

Now if only you had asked for her number...

Swapped

I had a thought about what if MC took the place of the original for a day. This was birthed from that thought.

Lyssa takes Bree's place at work.

Count: 771 words

Warnings: chaotic little 4 year olds.

Genre: humor, au.

Breaking the fourth wall series. Previous >>>next

Lyssa placed the cold towel against Bree's forehead as the woman whimpered in pain. Waking up this morning to a massive headache that later transformed into having head-fever was unexpected.

Okay, maybe it wasn't that unexpected. Her students came to school with either runny noses, sneezing or developed fever throughout the week and despite sanitizing, promoting hand washing, encouraging parents not to send their sick kids to school to prevent infection spread, all failed. Now, here Bree was, sick.

"You know, I never understood why you would be under the weather so often. Now, I get it. Would it be the end of the world if you do not hug your students when they aren't well?"

Bree gave a pained chuckle "… not as simple as you think it is. However, I promise I tried."

Scoffing, the hunter grabbed Bree's phone, "I'm going to message your headmistress letting her know you won't be in for a few days."

"Lyssa, NO!" while grabbing her shirt sleeve.

"I'm not letting you go to work like this."

"I don't have anymore PTO or sick leave I can take. I'll be fine."

"No, Bree, and if Zayne or Sylus were here, they wouldn't let you go either."

Pouting but not letting go of Lyssa's shirt sleeve, Bree gave her best pleading face and quietly whispered "but my babies."

They maintained eye contact until Lyssa broke it first. "You're still not going to work, but I will."

"Wait — what?

Lyssa entered the nursery school at precisely 7:30 am, having had a crash course on who the staff were, Bree's students and just basic things to look out for. Luckily Bree had pictures of everyone and a simplified verison of her lesson plan for the day. Thank goodness, plus it was Friday.

"Good morning teacher."

Coming back into focus, her eyes landed on a little girl with pigtails. Alright, moment of truth. "Good morning, Mira."

She watched as Bree's student hung up her bag and went for the puppet corner. Bree told her to expect when her students arrive that they are familiar with their routine, all she needed to do was maintain classroom control and teach the topics in the lesson plan.

The little girl didn't talk much, so Lyssa took the time to set up materials and get the classroom ready. Student after student arrived, taking their name card from the large house template and moving them to the school template.

The hunter was amazed by the students, their speech, the chaotic personalities, their creativity, the things they made using blocks, they seem to enjoy roleplaying the most.

"I am the chef, Juno. My food is much better than Jules. Now hand me a plate so I can give teacher breakfast."

Lyssa raised an eyebrow, she had to admit they were very entertaining and then the hugging began, as much as she tried to avoid them, she couldn't. They were sneaky, catching her offguard. Wanderers never gave her such an issue.

One had a consistently runny nose and tried touching her as often as she could. Didn't her parents know not to send a sick child to school.

"Azarie, you can't touch teacher with your hands. You need to wash them."

The rest of the morning passed with laughter and noise. When it was noon and the class dismissed, students leaving to go home, Lyssa let out an exhausted breath.

Four hours of little balls of energy and she felt like she just came out the most gruling training. How the heck Bree does this five times a day for weeks on end without loosing her mind was nothing short of amazing.

Finally it was time to leave. Lyssa bid everyone a happy weekend and hurried out of there. So after picking up Bon-Bon from play school and returning to Bree's residence, the first thing she did was check on her.

"Mommy!" squealed the toddler as she ran into the bedroom, jumping onto the bed.

"shh— try not to shout chick."

"It's okay. My head doesn't hurt as much. Hey my baby, did you have fun at school today?"

The toddler enthuastically spoke a mixture of english and gibberish.

"How do you do that?"

Bree looked up, raising a brow "what do you mean?"

"You're not 100% yet you have energy for her, and your students are crazy dramatic, loud, and full of unrefined energy. I commend you."

Bree let out a laugh. "They got to you… didn't they?"

"Let's just say i'll never doubt you again, and you can't get me to do this another time."

"This was your idea not me."

No lie there.

I watched him, I watched him fight and train, hunt like a wolf, protect his ideals and family. My heart beat for him since I arrived at that place, in the shadows I wished to be by his side, to make him smile when he was sad, to feel loved in the midst of loneliness, and to be the one who would say "I love you", but it never happened, it was obvious. He wouldn't see me, we are different, status, beauty, power, everything... I saw ladies and women as beautiful as Aphrodite near him, I felt jealousy and sadness, he was surrounded by beautiful ladies, as beautiful as a flower, they were seen, I was not, even serving you. I saw his family fall and rise again, but I wasn't there, just Serbian, I was just there in the shadows, I spent part of my life looking at the reflections and wishing I was beautiful, attractive, intelligent, strong... anything for him to notice me, I prayed to the gods, but the day never came, I never had a word with him, but imagine when we were talking together for hours, that you saw me by your side, even trying to dress better, to get ready, I wasn't beautiful, not like the ones he was surrounded by, I was nobody, for years I hid my feelings for him, for years I never dared to go after him, it was my regret, alone in the dark, already without hope, I knew that love was not for me, then he appeared, with his glory saying that he would help me, it was strange, I was suspicious, but I accepted with a last shred of hope, then he stopped me, praised me, the help of that person seemed very good, very magical, in a few days I met him, I was able to talk to him I met him for the first time, even imagining conversations, my words came out weak and stuttered, it seemed good for a while, until the one who helped me came back, saying that he had done something to the boy, I felt guilty, it was forced, but I thought that maybe it was genuine, but when I passed by him I could hear words, words but without love, I understood that it was never genuine love, it was just me trying to force fate, I stayed alone, ignored and isolated myself, protecting, I had no more hope, and soon I asked for a change, I never knew that he was not talking bad about me, he was talking about one of the ladies who clung to him, I never knew that what he felt for me was genuine, that the help was just the man encouraging him to talk to me, I never knew that I could have true love, I was far away now, far away and alone as I always was, alone in my precious and lonely real world

[comatosebunny09]

Sylus stops by Emcee’s apartment to check on her because he hasn’t heard from her all day.

He would’ve shown up sooner but was caught up with work.

He’s at the door knocking. Muffled music and laughter spill from the other side. Eerily familiar laughter.

Imagine his surprise when Emcee opens up, all smiles and mirth, wearing a sheet mask and cute PJs that could be mistaken for lingerie as music floods into the hallway from behind her. 

Sylus quirks a brow. “Ah. So this is why you’ve been giving me the cold shoulder.” He crosses his arms, leaning against the doorframe, a smirk weaseling onto his face.

Before Emcee can offer an excuse, a voice sounds behind her, somewhere in the living room. “Sorry!”

Emcee steps aside as Sylus straightens, and he’s even more intrigued when he sees you on the couch in a similar state of dress. Only your “pajamas” leave less to the imagination. Given the pillows, blankets, and plushies littering the living room’s floor, he can assume the two of you are up to no good. 

You wave coyly before hopping up from the couch and skipping behind Emcee. “It’s my fault.” You feign disappointment with yourself, your bottom lip jutting out in a pout. “I came here to bring her breakfast, and we just ended up hangin’ out all day.”

You sling an arm around Emcee’s neck, the pair of you wearing twin grins and giggling at a joke Sylus isn’t in on. His suspicious eyes slide to you. 

He isn’t buying your innocent ruse—he sees how your eyes sweep over Emcee. How you subtly yet possessively pull her into your side, and how you look at him all smug as your arm drops from around her shoulders for you to playfully swat her ass. Your brow raises in a quiet challenge.

“Can’t beat ‘em? Join ‘em,” he recalls you once saying. Only, he never expected to be on the receiving end of that statement.

His jaw tightens. He’s conflicted. Does he want to be upset? Sure. But how can he when his two favorite girls are here together, playing nice and getting along famously?

Without him. Half-dressed. Too close. Too friendly. He can only imagine what debauchery could’ve gone down had he not shown up to disrupt your fun.

The imagery makes him pulse. Labored breaths, sweat-slicked skin, your tits pushing together, your cunts slick—

Fuck.

[aceecee]

Insatiable - Extra #9

TW/Tags: some are suggestive

Masterlist

They react to their contact name saved on your phone.

MC - ‘Wife’ 

“Hey [Name]?” the woman clinging to your back while you wake up asks. You turn around and greet her with a sleepy smile that grows bigger when she places a kiss on your cheek. You give her a sleepy nod.

“I was wondering what you have me saved as on your phone.”

It’s an odd question to be asked first thing in the morning but as always you indulge her. You reach for your nightstand where your phone resides, unlocking it and passing it over to her. You don’t pay attention to what she does next, sleep catching on the corner of your eyes. So, it’s a surprise when she throws her full weight on you. She plants numerous kisses on you, each one too fast for you, before getting off and tugging on your arms in an attempt to get you off the bed.

“Let’s go.”

You stare at her in confusion.

“Let’s go get married. We can plan a proper wedding later but let’s make it real right now.”

Caleb - ‘Dude’

“DUDE?!?”

Ah, there goes your peace. Shattered so easily by one man. 

Two arms reach for your shoulders and shake you awake. You swat at the arms as roughly as possible, already aware of the menace who’s doing it. 

“Shortcake,” he whines. 

With a sign, you finally crack your eyes open, glaring at the man child. The one who disturbed your precious sleep. 

“Why do you have me saved as Dude?” he pouts at you.

[“It’s what you deserve.”] 

You turn around and try to go back to sleep.

A heavy weight collapses on top of you. “I’m not getting up until you change it.”

Jokes on him, his weight on you is comforting and before you know it you’re fast asleep.

Caleb whines a little, even poking your cheek in hopes you’ll wake up but it does nothing. Your peaceful expression wins him over and soon soft snores are leaving him.

He’ll just continue in the morning.

Zayne - ‘zayniee’

“I overheard a conversation between two nurses today,” the man speaks into your neck. He’s currently holding you in his lap, in a tight grip. It’s common for him to seek comfort in you particularly after a long day. You rub the skin on his hand that’s on your hip, telling him to continue. “They were discussing what name their partner’s had them saved as. I don’t know why but it stuck with me…”

His unspoken question doesn’t go unnoticed. 

You press a kiss to his cheek, it delights you when he gets like this. You reach into your pants pocket, unlocking your phone and finding his contact. You feel his hair tickle you as he moves his head to see better.

“Of course,” he chuckles. You feel his grip tighten on you. “Only you can call me that.” He’s silent for a few seconds before continuing. “It’s a privilege only granted to you. Don’t I deserve a reward?” 

You roll your eyes playfully at his childish behaviour before getting up and tugging him into the bedroom.

The man has the audacity to sport a bright grin. 

Sylus - ‘Boss’

You love a night routine, especially after a long day.

Taking a warm bath or shower, scrubbing yourself clean of any dirt then drying yourself off and changing into comfortable sleeping clothes. You follow it by your skincare, all while thinking of your nice comfortable bed that you’ve missed. 

So, when you’re greeted by Sylus lazing on your bed like it’s his (you don’t care if he paid for it), scrolling through your phone, frustration rings through you at an alarming speed. The towel around your neck goes flying at him only to be stopped in the air by a red mist holding it in place.

“Now, that’s just rude,” he teases. “Here I was hoping to cuddle and instead I’m under attack,” he clutches the area where his heart is.

You roll your eyes at him. [“Give me my phone, you ass.”]

“What? This little thing?” He holds the phone up, smirking when you nod. “Only if you explain why I’m saved as Boss?” You know the close-eyed smile he gives you is not meant to be as carefree as it looks. 

[“Well…you are my boss, are you not?”]

The man blinks at you.

“I’ve been inside you.”

Xavier - ‘Sleepyhead’

His arms are wrapped tightly around you. 

The two of you are currently at your place. It’s your monthly cooking class for him. It all started when he made (and failed…spectacularly) you some pancakes. He proposed that you teach him after but due to your hectic schedules you can only do it once a month. To you it was an opportunity to better his cooking but to the sly fucker, it was all an excuse to have you to himself. 

An entire day, with no else around? Just you and him. It was heaven for him.

The rice dish you prepared together is on the stove, on low. It’ll need an hour more to cook so to pass the time, Xavier demanded cuddles and you wanted to watch your show. He flashed you those dumb blue eyes and so, you reached a compromise. 

That leads you to now, sitting on his lap on the couch while watching the new episode of your show. “So, it was the stepmother all along,” Xavier whispers into your neck. You nod, [“I told you so.”] You offer him the bowl of popcorn, stuffing some into his mouth when he just opens it in response. He should know better than to doubt your knowledge of shitty dramas. 

Your phone pings with a notification. You reach for the coffee table and pick it up. It’s a message from Mara confirming about your lunch date tomorrow. You think nothing of it as you respond, not realising Xavier’s focused look on your screen.

“If she’s Wife then what am I saved as?” he asks. No answer other than Husband will suffice but you don’t know that. You show him. 

“Sleepyhead? Why am I Sleepyhead? Why not ‘Love of my life’, or ‘Only one for me’?”

You laugh at the offended look on his face, completely unaware of the danger you’ve placed yourself in. Suddenly, you’re thrown back on the couch with him hovering above you.

“I’m angry now,” he leans in to kiss you. “Since it’s your fault, fix it.”

Rafayel - ‘Public Nuisance’ 

You had been curious about Rafayel’s process of using items like seashells in his works. As a result of your ask, you had spent the entire day together. First, gathering seashells on the beach. You should’ve gone back to his house after but he insisted on eating first, stating you’ll need it for energy. 

And he was right. You’ve collapsed on his couch, your arms are about to fall off. If you knew the process involved grinding the seashells over and over again until they became powder, you would have never signed on in the first place. But you had to admit, it was cute how excited he was to tell you all about it. It’s your favourite thing in the world, watching those you love tell you about things that bring them joy. 

He laughs when you let out a groan. “I never said it would be easy, pretty.” You can only pick your head up and glare in response. “Will you forgive me if I order some food?” he sports an amused expression as you eagerly nod. “Where’s your phone then?” You point your leg in the direction of your bag.

Rafayel digs through your bag as you close your eyes and rest. It shouldn’t excite him that you trust him around your things. He easily unlocks your things since you never kept your password a secret. On the screen, he comes across a notification of an old message. 

Ha! What poor sucker did she name Pu…

Concerned with how quiet he’s being, you open your eyes, only to stare right into your screen. “Explain this to me, brat,” he huffs. You raise an eyebrow in question. He leans his face right into yours. “Who names their lover that?”

[“Maybe you shouldn’t perfectly embody that name, then?”] You give him a smirk.

You swear his eye twitches, his reactions are exactly why you love teasing him. 

“You’re on a Rafayel ban from now on, pretty. No more of me until you apologize and change the name,” he storms off, dramatically closing his bedroom door with a loud thud.

The doorbell still rings though, ten minutes later, as a delivery man drops off food.

AN: Should I stop making Caleb so puppy-like? Probably. Will I though? Nope.

Love and Deepspace Various! / Reader

《File welcomes you! Enter! ... Good Luck.》

-

Wiping down a few menus scattered around the café, you glance at the cloudy skies.

Not quite sunny, but rather plain. Reaching over to the blinds, you lower them down. Ready to close up since you had the key.

DING!

A young man wearing a familiar smile comes in, a jacket wrapped around him as hands laid in his pockets.

“...Are you still open?” He asked politely, the friendly and attitude lighting up the rather quiet cafe. 

Blinking at him, rag in hand. A somber, almost knowing grin creeps up your face. “I… Yeah, please. Come in.”

You move away from the blinds, barely having the courage to look at his handsome face. Setting yourself up at the register, you ask for his order, rag held tightly between your fingers.

He eyes the menu behind you, scanning over the titles until he settles on a few things. Two mini apple parfaits and a single coffee. 

Not even bothering to right down the order, you keep eye contact when asking for his name. Voice almost shrill as the rag becomes tatters in your grip.

“Oh! It’s Caleb.”

Holding the tearful girl in your arms, you keep your mouth shut. Patting her back as she wails incoherent nonsense by your ear. 

While, you wished to tell her the truth, you knew deep down you couldn’t. The only solace you could offer in her time of sorrow were merely gestures of comfort. Hoping it would be enough to appease the both of you.

Glancing at the apple parfaits sitting on your kitchen counter, you hold MC tighter.

-

Xavier blinked at the small bunny shaped dessert, the white porcelain plate glimmering against the sun from the window. You sit in front of him as he blinks the sleep away from his eyes, his lunch barely touched.

“Hi..? Are you awake?” You smile far to chipper, blinding him more the sun rays. Expecting the fawning gaze you directed at him, his lips part into a frown.

The expression you wore was unfamiliar to him. 

“...Mn, ‘sorry.”

“It’s fine, I thought some dessert would wake you up. Don’t worry, it won’t be on your bill!” You wink.

Amused, he nods, grabbing a spoon, lightly poking at the jiggly rabbit shaped pudding. You giggle, enjoying his actions openly. Xavier relaxes a bit, forgetting the small details from before.

“Hey… Is…” You pause, biting at your lips,nervously gripping the tray.

“Hm?” He hums, his beautiful blue eyes keeping sole attention on you.

“Is MC-... I mean-! So, are you and MC doing anything later? I’m free after closing, maybe we get something to eat?” You ask hopefully, knowing you would be dismissed from the offer. You even asked Zayne a day ago if he’d like to meet up for some grub.

Not knowing the next chance, you would be able to see him out and about! Yet before he could even give an answer, he got an urgent call from the hospital. Leaving in a hurry as he grabs your notepad and pen, writing something down before placing it on the table. Leaving soon after… Checking what he wrote in such a rush … HIS NUMBER!? 

You recall skipping home, swinging the paper about joyously.

“I would-”

“FINALLY! I FOUND IT!” 

Rafayel beams, the doors bell announcing his entrance as a sweating MC follows behind. Features censored for readers! 

“YOU…!” She grits out, before gasping and making a beeline towards you. Eagerly like a cat drawn to milk. “I’m so sorry about him, (Y/N)! I’ll kick him out right now!”

Yet she makes no move to do so as she sticks to you like glue, wrapping a hand around your waist easily. She plucks the cafe tray from you.

She holds it as if she were a brave knight, the tray her shield to protect what a knight holds dear! 

Glaring at the purple haired male. “Go, shoo fishy~!” She waves him off, the merman in question scowls.

“Sorry Miss Bodyguard, but I can’t at the moment, now if you would move-” Rafeyels tone was filled with annoyance as the female hunter shakes her head.

“Excuse me, I’d like to order…” 

Blinking, you regain your bearings as MC hisses at the new voice.

“Right! Sorry! Coming right over!”

Moving out her grip, you walk over to the disguised Sylus, you follow after him like a loyal dog. 

   “Not him too..!” She grunts stubbornly under her breath, exasperated. Sighing before receiving a text from Zayne that he was about to stop by the cafe for lunch. Asking if she wanted anything.

With another reluctant sigh, she texts back.

Rafayel huffs, scanning the small cafe, before his eyes settle on the small fish doodle placed near the menu, a few other animal drawings scattered around as well.

Well,, if youre alright with me giving my own headcanons about him, I see six as a grumpy POS middle aged man, i would genuinely scream cry and sob (amazing way) if i got any dating headcanons with a gender neutral reader and him,, OFC DO WHAT YOU WANT !! Its your blog and you absolutely dont have to do this!! Hope you have/had a nice dayy ^_^

Thanks, dear.! Helps me to start spinning up ideas in my silly little head, hehehe. Anyway, after writing that I actually had a lot of fun.. feel free to request more.

Six x GN! reader

“i’ve seen the deepest darkness, and wrestled with gods. ride the noble harness, raining cats and dogs.. i stand before my maker like moses on the hill..”

Oh, mon dieu!

✟ Jumping off with love languages again, because it’s fun.!

His love language? Definitely quality time, and perhaps some acts of service sprinkled on top, hm? Saying, “I love you.”? Not his thing, he’s not good with words. He’d rather open or lift something for you. Six expresses care just by being there, sitting quietly in the same, dark room.

✟ His rare, quiet compliments mean the world because they are so hard-won and deserved.

They come out of nowhere, blunt and awkward, like “..you did better than i thought.”. Six will never say flowery things—his praise is practical, and thats what makes it feel real. Don’t call him out on one, he’ll deny it profusely.

✟ Physical Affection? Not common..

Six is absolutely not touchy-feely; he tolerates hugs at best and probably freezes up or grumbles at even that. Every touch he makes is stiff, awkward. It’s clear he’s not even remotely experienced in affection. Maybe soft forehead kisses when you sleep, so you don’t see his soft side.!

✟ Short fuse normally, but endless patience with you.! Don’t let his muttered complaints fool you..

Apologies for shortness, good anon. It’s 1:49 p.m. and I pulled an all-nighter last night. (Send help, I’m exhausted)

Before we start the story, let me introduce myself first.

Hi! The name's Asphodel Chen, yes if you're wondering I was named after the Fields of Asphodel, you can thank my dear old dad for that.

I was 18 years old....wait 'was'?

Let me explain, so yeah I'm dead:D

You might be asking "Hold up Asphodel, what do you mean 'Dead'?" I mean that I'm dead, like gone, in the underworld dead.... or am I?

Yeah that's what's confusing me too, being a demigod you would think that once you died you'd be in Elysium by now, but nooooo fate decided that my journey is far from done after the two wars I was a part of.

What? back up a sec wars? Yes wars, the 1st one happened when I was 17, also known as The Battle of Manhattan or in which my boyfriend Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon btw) happens to be in the center of a certain great prophecy.

I won't bore you with the details, just know that we defeated kronos and saved the world yada yada yada, now you might be wondering "what about the other war?" Yes yes I'm getting to that part.

You see, dear old mother earth decided to wake up from her sleep and is that bad? Yes terribly so. So fate decided once again to give us demigods one more great prophecy to deal with a few hours after the 1st war happened, something about 8 demigods traveling to defeat said earth and save the world again, you know the usual.

Now here I was battling with a bunch of Giants after both Greek and Roman camps came together to defeat the foe, but somehow fate decided to mess with me.. AGAIN LIKE WTF DUDE SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

Anyways, yep here I am actively bleeding to death while Percy holds me tight...

"Ash...?" He said as he holds me tighter in his arms

"Hey seaweed brain..." I smiled at him, I can feel my life force slipping away, being the daughter of [REDACTED] does have its advantage when you're actively dying.

"Don't talk pretty girl, j-just hold on tight please.... I can't lose you" Oh percy.... As much as I would love to, I can't baby, I'm sorry...

"Percy... It's ok, it's going t-to be ok you hear me?" I gazed up at him eyes full of love and assurance, I knew I wouldn't make it out of this alive, I mean who would when your body has a large hole in the middle of it and some organs are missing.

"Live your life to the fullest for me would you? I love you seaweed bra..in....." I breathe in a final breath as I said my final words to him, the last face I ever saw as I closed my eyes for good this time.

I died yes, but what the hell am I doing here in this void type place? I was supposed to be in the underworld by now, just like all my fellow demigods who have died before me, Castor, Lee, Silena, and Luke.

But no, right now I'm face to face with the Fates...

"Asphodel Chen

Daughter of [REDACTED]

Hero of Olympus

And Lady of the Fields of Asphodel"

"Uhhh hi? What am I doing here? If you don't mind me asking" I quickly backtrack my sentence into something more polite, because you don't and I mean don't want to get on the Fates bad side. Because like hello??? They're the Fates themselves, they see your past, present, and future. They themselves can decide whether or not to cut your cord right now if they want to if you show even an ounce of disrespect to them.

"Your journey is far from over young hero" Clotho said. "Wait what? But I'm dead aren't I?" I replied back.

"Indeed you are young hero, but not all journeys ends once the hero is dead, is that not right?" Lachesis replied to my question, "I mean I guess so? What's going to happen now?" I asked.

"You will be reincarnated, to a time where greek mythology is nothing more than just names written in a history book" Atropos, the last of the fates said.

"You young hero will save this world again, but you will not be alone, you will have companions to be with you as you journey through this new life of yours" Lachesis said once more. "But be warned, for your knowledge of this world can either be it's downfall or it's greatess ascension to what other can only perceived as impossible to attain." Clotho said.

"Hold on what? Knowledge? How can I know what's going to happen if it's from the future???" I asked bewildered by the new information the Fates just gave me. "And what about my friends here? What about Percy?" I asked again more panicked this time.

"That young hero can only be answered in due time, now off you go" Atropos waved her hand, and suddenly I felt the void shake and feel myself get dizzy before everything faded to black once more.
