A/N: This one is for you @shy-writer-999 ! I hope this scratches that itch. Barely proofread. Enjoy!

“Where the HELL is that damn comic?!” Law shouted, his voice grated with frustration. He’s spent the last 30 minutes tearing your shared room apart looking for his newest Sora comic find. All he wanted was to take a few minutes to have a break and enjoy a light read. Something to break the monotony of medical journals and textbooks. But he couldn’t for the life of him remember where he set the comic. His desk was messier than usual, papers and books scattered and disorganized as he shifted everything around, swearing he left it on the desk. The bookshelf was left just as messy in his search, rummaging through every shelf. He rubbed his hand down his face in frustration. Alright, clearly it got put somewhere stupid. Where else can I look? He thought to himself. He couldn’t ask you where it was, you were out getting supplies with Ikkaku at the island where you were currently docked.

He was hoping to get to read while the crew were out on the island, giving him a true opportunity to be alone without worrying someone barging in and interrupting his personal time, but at this rate, that was less and less likely to happen. Time to move on to more unusual places to check he thinks as he walks to his nightstand. Pulling open the drawer and still not seeing anything. Maybe it’s in (Y/N)’s nightstand. At this fucking point it could be anywhere. He makes his way around the bed and pulls your nightstand drawer open with such frustration that all of the contents flew forward. Slamming into the front of the drawer. Suddenly, he forgot what he was looking for. Rightbin front of him was something that took him completely by surprise. When he opened the drawer so forcefully, he exposed your sex toys. He smirked, picking up a toy in each hand- a wand and a clit stimulator. And just like that, the comic was long forgotten. He felt a pulse of desire as he thought about you using these. When was the last time she used these? Why does she have them? WHEN did she get them? Oh…this is going to be fun.

Ikkaku and you were making your way back to the submarine with the crate of medical supplies that Law requested you both pick up. Laughing and joking about the trouble Bepo almost got into at the market for clumsily bumping a produce stand, nearly destroying the poor farmer’s entire crop, you both entered the ship loudly. Law’s ears perked up when he heard your fit of giggles. He was in your shared room, lying in wait for your return. When you and Ikkaku unloaded the supplies and put them away, you noticed one of Law’s Sora comics under a supply of latex gloves. “Hey, Ikkaku, do you mind finishing cataloguing these supplies? I need to get this to the Captain,” you raise the comic. “Oh yea, go for it. I’ll take care of it,” she smiles. “Thanks! I’ll see you later! I’ll catalogue on the next supply run,” you wink as you walk out of the room to head to your quarters.

You’re humming as you open the door to your room. “Laaaaw, baby, look what I found with the medical supplies,” you raise the comic to show your found loot. “I thought you might want to read it, right? Isn’t this the new one,” and you stop. Jaw dropped, heat rushing to your cheeks, surely showing your embarrassment when you are met with the sight of Law. sitting at his desk, waiting for you. And your sex toys were on the desk in front of him. You quickly shut the door behind you. He wore a cocky half smile, his fingers pressed together in front of him. “U-uhmmm….did you go through my stuff, Law?” you question, your voice small, barely above a whisper. Your heartbeat pounding in your ears. You try to swallow the lump forming in your throat. “I was looking for that comic, thank you for finding it by the way, and checked our nightstands. Found these in there,” as he points to the toys on his now clean desk. You feel so warm with embarrassment and being on the spot. You only got them when you and Law were separated for so long when he was on Punk Hazard and Dressrosa. You needed the toys because your own hands were no longer cutting it after him. What his hands can do; how they make you melt.

“Am I not enough for you?” Law questions, his eyes growing dark as he stands up. You gulp, “You’re more than enough, Law. I got them when you were on Punk Hazard and Dressrosa. It was so long without you…..and I-I couldn’t take care of it myself because you’re too good at it,” you shyly smirk. He chuckles, the sound rumbling from deep in his chest as he grabs the toys and walks to you. Holding them up in front of you, he looks down and back up at you, “I want you to show me how you use them….for…research purposes.” You let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding. Your embarrassment quickly dissipates, replaced by desire in your belly as his request. “O-okay…,” you pause, waiting to see if he gives you any further direction. “Pick one,” he smirks as his gaze grows more intense, boring through you.

You pick the wand and make your way to the bed, unzipping your boiler suit, stripping down to your tank top and shorts underneath. You sit on the bed, shifting to a slight recline with your legs out and knees slightly bent. He pulls his chair around his desk to the end of the bed and sits down, arms crossed as he watches you. You gulp, I can’t believe this is happening, you think to yourself as you unbutton your shorts, shimmying out of them and your underwear at the same time. You kick them off at him. He catches them, his devilish smile and heavy lidded eyes spurring more confidence in you. “Spread your legs, baby,” he growls and you instantly comply, “That's it…just like that.” Exposing your cunt to him, you grow wetter by the second. You turn on your wand and as you take it to the apex of your thighs, you slowly rub your other hand down your other thigh. Pressing the wand on your clit, you immediately close your eyes in the pleasure the stimulation brings. You gasp and bite your lip, slowly increasing the pressure and moving the wand in small circles on your clit.

Law leans forward as he adjusts his jeans, his length achingly tight in them, as he rests his elbows on his knees. His breathing increases as he watches you pleasure yourself. Your head thrown back in pleasure, eyes closed, biting your lip. It’s driving him wild. He wants nothing more than to confirm how much more pleasure he brings you, but he’s enjoying himself at the moment. Trying to hold out before he ruins you. “Don’t close your eyes, baby. Look at me,” he commands. Your eyes snap open and you both take in each other’s forms. You apply more pressure with the wand, bringing yourself closer to orgasm. You're spurred on by seeing him palm his length through his jeans. Suddenly, he drops your shorts but still holds your panties. He unbottons his jeans and pulls them down, exposing his hard cock- tip angry and red from its confinement- as he wraps your panties around his length and begins slowly fisting himself with them. You moan at the sight and stop pleasuring yourself for a moment. You groan then, not intending to stop. “Please, Law, please make me feel good. No one else can like you,” you plead. “Tch- don’t stop. Be a good girl and cum for me. If you’re good, then I’ll fuck you,” he demands as he continues to fist his cock.

You bite your lip harder at the sight and nod as you press the wand to your clit again. As you adjust the pressure you’re applying from harder to lighter, you continue to watch each other, connecting through intense eye contact which only fuels your desire. You push one leg out straight and bring the other up, grabbing your knee as you feel the coil in your abdomen begin to unravel. Your eyes close tightly as you approach your orgasm and with a harder press from the wand, you snap. “F-fuuck, yes, Law,” you cry out as you cum, your cunt throbbing around nothing as you get even wetter, leaving a slick shine on the tip of the wand.

As you come down, you hear Law shifting, “That’s it…good girl. Let me take care of you now,” he says darkly. You look up and see him standing next to you at the edge of the bed, he’s already stripped down to nothing. You quickly pull off your shirt and unclasp your bra. You yelp in surprise as he moves you on the bed so your legs are bent over the edge. He gets down on his knees as he presses your thighs up, exposing yourself completely to him, “I want to hear my name on your lips when I make you cum, got it?” he rumbles.

He immediately takes your clit into his mouth, cheeks hollowing as he sucks between harsh flicks of his tongue. “Fuck, oh my god- hng,” you shout as your hands find purchase in his dark locks. He moans at the feeling of you tugging his hair and continues eating you like a man starved. Between him fucking you with his tongue and going back to sucking your clit, you’re on the verge of another orgasm. “Oh god, don’t stop, right there” you cry out as he has you tumbling over the edge again. Your legs twitch and squeeze him. The sounds of his mouth lapping you up obscene and filling the room with your cries of bliss. As you come down, your legs tremble and he leans back, wiping you from his face, “That’s my girl.” He comes up and leans over you, kissing you deeply, forcing his tongue between your lips as you taste yourself. Your hands on each side of his face as he has you caged beneath him. His arm wraps underneath you and he pulls you up to his chest and moves you both further onto the bed.

“Tell me what you want, love,” he whispers into your mouth between kisses. “Hmm,” you moan, “I need you, p-please, fuck me,” you pant. He leans up, and presses your knees to your chest and fists his cock as he takes you in, fucked out and breathless. He lines himself up to your pussy and presses in slowly, as he leans forward over you. When he presses to the hilt, you’re both panting, foreheads pressed together as he pauses, trying not to cum immediately at the feeling of your warm, wet, walls clenching around him. He presses a kiss to your soft lips and leans up, moving his hands to grab your hips, pressing sharp indents into your flesh. He begins thrusting into you, enamored by how your cunt takes all of him and it awakens something possessive within him. “Fuck, look how well you take me. You’re mine, got it? Nothing and no one can make you feel this good.” You nod, unable to speak, as you’re lost in the pleasure of his cock stretching and filling you completely. Your moans grow louder as he picks up his pace, sweat glistening on his brow. “Hnng,” you cry out as he thrusts particularly harshly, slamming into your cervix. “Fuuuhck, I love the sounds you make. Just for me,” he pants as he loses himself in you.

He suddenly pulls out and you cry out in frustration at the empty feeling. You press up to your elbows, “W-why’d you stop, baby?” you pant. “C’mere,” he pulls you up as he sits down, pulling you onto his lap. He grabs your breasts as you push them into his face, rolling your nipples between his fingers as he takes one into his mouth, sucking and biting as if they’ll disappear if he doesn’t pay them attention. You throw your head back, eyes shut tight. Reaching down, you line himself up to your entrance and sit down on his throbbing cock, gasping when you’re fully seated on top of him. “Go on, fuck yourself on my cock,” Law rumbles, his voice deep and thick with lust.

He’s as drunk with you as you are with him as you begin riding him as his hands roughly pull across your body. You bounce up and down his length until your legs and hips burn. Pushing through the pain to chase your orgasm. “Shit, just like that baby- fuuuuhhhck,” he cries out as he wraps his arms under yours and pulls you down grabbing your shoulders. You feel him pulse as he cums, spilling thick ropes into you and you roll your hips, grinding your clit on his abdomen. “I know you have one more for me baby,” he whispers breathlessly into your mouth as he kisses you. As you're grinding, feeling him pulse within you, and feeling his release trickling out of you with your movements, you cum again. Pleasure wracking your body as Law leaves no space between you. You’re overwhelmed with pleasure. All you feel, smell, and think is him as you lose yourself and cry out his name over and over.

You still, sitting in his lap as you collapse forward, utterly spent. He wraps his arms around you and holds you tightly as you both come down from your highs. Trying to catch your breath in the crook of his neck, you feel him press kisses along your shoulder. “Hmmm,” he exhales, “So which one is better?” he asks, trying to stifle a laugh. You pull back to look at him, “Oh hush!” you laugh as you playfully push his shoulder, laughing together intimately.

Black Market: III

Hitman Simon Riley x Doctor Fem!Reader

In desperate need of money to clear a million-dollar debt, you accept Simon's offer to become his personal doctor, earning twenty percent of each contract he completes. But as you plunge back into the black market, ghosts from your past emerge, threatening to unravel everything you've worked so hard to run away from.

Mention of sexual assault, mention of Simon Riley's canon backstory, light angst.

Masterlist - Black Market Masterlist

A few weeks passed and with thousands of dollars now sitting in your bank account, you began to reassess the deal you had made with Simon, realizing that it wasn't as terrible as you had initially thought. Slowly, you found yourself lowering your defenses and growing more at ease in his presence and the space around you.

Simon respected your wish to not accompany him on contracts, so you found yourself reluctantly harvesting organs from someone he had killed just minutes ago. It was a grim task, but you saw it as the least you could do for him being so cooperative with your demands.

As you worked, Simon leaned against the counter, watching you tear apart the insides of the man and carefully placing his organs into iced containers. "Thought you wanted to save lives? Here you are tearing into a man I only killed minutes ago," he teased, a smirk playing on his lips. You rolled your eyes at his comment.

"You offered me twenty thousand knowing I'm in desperate need of money. You're a sick man, Simon," you retorted, continuing your work without missing a beat. Simon simply smiled, crossing his muscular arms over his chest.

He looked at the dead man split in half on the table and then to you, marveling at your focused precision and fast hands as you expertly took him apart.

"You think you could've brought him back?" he asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice. You smiled as you took out the last part, carefully placing his heart in the ice chest and sealing the container shut. Then, you turned to Simon, your smile lingering.

"I know I could have," you replied confidently. "But he would have been brain dead."

With that, you took off your gloves and sighed before heading up the steps to your bedroom for a much-needed shower. Simon remained in the basement, his mind swirling with questions about you. He had never cared for anyone before; his life had revolved around accepting contracts and killing people for money. 

No socializing, no interests, no curiosity for other people. But you were different. There was something about you that intrigued him, something that made him want to peel back the layers and uncover your past.

Simon formed a plan in his head to extract any sliver of information from you that would allow him to delve into your history. He needed to know what made you such a skilled doctor at such a young age, considering that medical school takes years of study and experience to achieve the level of proficiency you display. 

You were lying in bed, engrossed in the book that Simon had so graciously bought for you when the savory aroma of garlic and herbs wafted into the room.

Your stomach grumbled in response, prompting you to abandon your reading and make your way to the kitchen. Simon looked up as he set two plates down on the dining table.

"Made you dinner to make up for earlier,"

You raised a skeptical eyebrow as you surveyed the meal before you, but your doubts vanished the moment you took the first bite. "Holy shit, I didn't think you knew how to cook like this," genuine surprise evident in your tone.

A smile tugged at Simon's lips at your reaction. "Wanted to be a cook when I was younger," he admitted casually.

Which hadn’t been a lie, when he was younger he dreamed of opening his own restaurant.

Your eyebrows raised at his revelation. You hadn't expected him to be so open about himself. Relaxing into your chair, you took a sip of wine before sharing a bit of your own past. "I wanted to be a florist."

Simon's interest was piqued, finally getting a glimpse into your backstory. "Florist to surgeon? Pretty different occupations," he remarked, taking a sip of his own wine.

You laughed as you finished your glass and reached for the bottle to pour yourself more. "From a cook to a hitman?" you teased lightly.

Simon grinned in response. "Fair enough.”

Curious about what had steered him away from his childhood dream, you prodded gently, "What steered you away?"

Simon's expression shifted briefly, a flicker of memories passing through his eyes as he glanced down at his plate. "Different circumstances,"

Reflecting on your own past, you nodded in understanding. "Yeah, me too," you murmured, the weight of shared experiences hanging in the air between you.

As the evening wore on and a few more glasses of wine were shared between you and Simon, you found yourself loosening up. Eventually, you began to vent about your past jobs, particularly about a hospital where the nurses were brain dead fucks. You launched into a rant about all of them, each one seemingly worse than the last.

Simon listened intently, his grin widening as he realized the wealth of information you were unwittingly providing him. With each complaint, he mentally cataloged the names and details, knowing that he now had enough clues to get a glimpse into your past.

That night as you slept upstairs, Simon delved into the depths of the internet, scouring through various websites until he stumbled upon a list of old employers associated with your previous job. It didn't take long for him to piece together the missing parts of your identity, and soon enough, he discovered your last name.

Simon navigated through the dark web, his fingers typing in your name with a mixture of curiosity. What he found made his stomach clench.

Before him lay a website, one he was all too familiar with, an organization specializing in sex work. As he scrolled through, he saw old listings featuring you, offering your services for hire. He glanced away when he clicked on a link and saw pictures of you dressed in scant clothing, your eyes reflecting a mixture of exhaustion and fear.

You were only a teenager, no older than seventeen.

His eyes read over an old listing offering a hefty reward for anyone who could locate and return you to them. 

It didn't even cross his mind to entertain the idea of betraying you. In his eyes, you were worth infinitely more than any sum of money or reward. As he sat there, reflecting on your past and the horrors you endured, he couldn't fathom the thought of dragging you back into that nightmarish world.

Your value to him went beyond any material gain, your skill as a doctor made you irreplaceable. And as someone who understood the pain of being used, he couldn't bear the thought of subjecting you to that kind of life again.

With a heavy sigh, he leaned back in his chair, everything suddenly made sense, your reluctance to work for him, your aversion to joining him on contracts.

He hadn't expected you to be remotely tied to the black market, let alone be a victim of it. He had unknowingly brought you back to a world you were desperately trying to escape.

You find yourself unable to sleep, plagued by a throbbing headache that refuses to go away. Desperate for relief, you make your way down to the basement in search of Advil, hoping it will alleviate the pounding in your head. As you reach the last step of the basement you see simon at his desk with his back turned toward you.

Your eyes glance at the computer screen and your heart plummets.

Images of your younger self, captured and exploited, sold into a life of servitude and suffering. The shock of seeing your own face reflected back at you in such a vulnerable state leaves you reeling, the pain in your head momentarily forgotten in the wake of this unwelcome intrusion into your past.

"Happy with what you found?" The words escaped your lips before you could stop them, your voice tinged with bitterness. Simon's startled expression told you he hadn't anticipated your arrival, his eyes wide with a mix of surprise and guilt.

"Just wanted to know who you were… wanted to know why you didn’t want to work for me," he explained, his voice tinged with a hint of remorse.

You couldn't tear your gaze away from the screen, the images of your younger self serving as a painful reminder of the horrors you endured.

"Sometimes people want their lives and past to be private," you murmured, your words heavy with the weight of years of suffering and trauma.

Simon knew that feeling better than anyone.

"I'm sorry," Simon offered, his apology hanging in the air like a fragile thread.

"No, you're not," you muttered bitterly, turning away and ascending the steps. As you disappeared from view, he sighed heavily, sinking back into his chair.

“Fuckin hell.”

The next morning, you found Simon waiting for you with breakfast prepared, a silent acknowledgment of his attempt to bridge the gap between you. Awkwardly, you took your seat at the table, the tension between you thick as you both ate in silence. The weight of his invasion of your privacy hung heavily in the air.

But then, as if unable to bear the tension any longer, Simon spoke up, his voice carrying the weight of his own past.

"The reason I didn't pursue my dream as a kid was because I enlisted in the military… my captain sold me out and I was captured, tortured, and used... anything to break my will and force me into blind obedience to their commands."

"I escaped," he continued, "After being buried alive and digging my way out with the jaw of the rotting corpse I was buried with. I made it home, went to therapy, and fixed my family troubles."

As he spoke, you could feel the weight of his trauma, the scars etched into his very being. "My teammates were also captured, but they were brainwashed. When I returned home one night, I found my family dead, my former team being responsible for their deaths. I hunted them down with the help of the black market and killed them. Since then, I've remained in this line of work.."

You sat there in stunned silence, his words sinking in like heavy stones in a pond. Simon continued to eat as if what he had just revealed was just another fact of life.

In that moment, you realized he already knew so much about your past; perhaps it was time to lay it all bare. With a heavy heart, you met his gaze, finding a shared understanding in the depths of his eyes.

“I was seventeen when a few men broke into my house one night, dragged me and my parents into the living room, and made me watch as they tortured my dad and had their way with my mom before killing the both of them.”

Your focus shifted to the small droplets of water falling against the side of your cup, each one mirroring the weight of the memories you carried.

“I was sold around before I made my way to the organization you were looking at last night. There was a group of us, we were sold to different men for our services.” The room fell silent as you paused, your gaze dropping to your lap for a few moments.

Simon, ever perceptive, sensed your discomfort in revisiting those painful moments from your past. “You don't have to talk about it, love,” he said gently, his voice carrying an understanding tone. “I understand—”

“A lot of the girls were rebellious, so they would get taught lessons,” you cut him off, your voice carrying the weight of each painful memory.

“That's where I learned how to patch up the girls with very little supplies. The man in charge noticed, so he made me start patching up the men who worked for him.” You picked at the skin around your nails as you furrowed your brows. Simon’s gaze never left you, his eyes bouncing over your facial expressions.

“Their injuries weren’t just simple scratches and cuts. They would get stabbed, or shot, and when I failed to save one of them, he made me watch as he tortured one of the girls, killing her slowly as my punishment… It happened two more times after that. I wasn't a fucking surgeon, I didn't know what I was doing.” you recounted, your now fingers picking at the hem of the place mat, the memories still haunting you.

“My lack of skill resulted in the deaths of three girls. I spent five years there, playing doctor for him when he needed it and earning him money with my services. During one of my transports for a service, the car was attacked by one of their rivals, which allowed me to escape. Now I'm here.”

The weight of those years is heavy in your voice. The barriers between you seemed to dissolve, replaced by a shared understanding of the pain and suffering you both carried within you.

"I became skilled out of necessity; failure meant the death of innocent girls."

You took a deep breath before locking eyes with him. “I'm sorry about what happened to you and your family. You didn't deserve that."

You paused for a second before continuing, "I wish you never enlisted.” His brows furrowed as he studied your expression. “Why?”

“Because you’d be working at some restaurant, and I would have never met you or been dragged back into this business.” Simon exhaled deeply, leaning back in his chair.

“You're safe here. We're nowhere near Russia, and if someone tried to fulfill the contract, I’d be here to protect you.” You furrowed your brows, your voice tinged with confusion. “What contract?”

“There’s an eight hundred thousand dollar contract open to whoever can deliver you back to Finn.” Your expression twisted with disgust at the mention of his name, recalling the fear he instilled in you for years.

“When was the contract posted?” Simon shook his head. “Years ago.” You nodded slowly as you picked at your food with your fork.

“I'm sorry, for digging into your past and dragging you back into this, you didn’t deserve that. If you want to leave you can.”  You smiled and scoffed, “And pass up a free bodyguard, free five-star meals, and easy money? Yeah right.” Simon laughed and you smiled.

“Resourceful girl.”

“What can I say.” 

You finished off your breakfast with a comfortable silence and some light back and forth about a new contract Simon was thinking about accepting. Simon picked up both plates and rinsed them off before putting them in the dishwasher.

“A colleague of mine is coming in two weeks or so, he’s going to help me with a contract.” 

You hummed and nodded your head, “Where is he going to stay?”

Simon grabbed a bowl of fruit out of the fridge and started picking at it. “He’s staying here.” You furrowed your brows and leaned against the counter next to Simon, your arm grazing his slightly as you reached for a strawberry in the bowl.

He watched as you brought the plump strawberry to your lips, looking away before you glanced back up at him. “What’s he like?”

“Don’t worry, you're safe around him, he is Scottish though.” You lifted your brow as you looked up at him, “Is being Scottish bad?”

“Bastard will talk your ear off.”

Can you please do some headcanons of crosshairs being EXTREMELY overprotective of his female!general who’s a total scaredy cat but super adorable and sweet! Especially when it comes to other regs 👀 He’ll never admit he does it because he’s totally in love with her 🙄

OMG!!! This is so cute haha

Crosshair being a bodyguard is just so 😫❤️

Part 2>>>

Crosshair Bodyguard Drabble below:

He trails behind you like a panther that is set out to protect you while you meander through the market without a care in the world

He’s already there to catch you every time you trip or fall when your foot catches your Jedi robe and it makes you feel embarrassed for being clumsy but he thinks it’s cute. But you can’t read his expressions cause he always has his helmet on around you.

The moment someone even hints at saying anything mean, he’s up and stands in front of you with his intimidating stance and his voice dripping with sarcasm as he fends them off, letting you take cover behind his back.

You’re scared of bugs and anytime you see one, you grab onto his arm. His body tenses even time you touch him and you remind yourself to not do it but being with him makes you feel safe. He’s glad he’s got his armour on because no one can see the blush that creeps up onto his cheeks or how his body misses your touch when you step away.

Anytime you’re in a new setting, he gives you run down of how he’s already checked it for anything that could cause you a fright.

He collects info about your upcoming missions so when you go into the council to request for security, he has already been drafted to be of service to you.

You and him don’t converse much but he huffs at your jokes and adds his snarky remarks but the silence shared is comfortable. He doesn’t restrain you or make fun of you, he protects your innocence and by doing so, you feel more at ease around him.

You know every time you seem distracted, his eyes are on you, through the force you can sense that most of the time you are perusing through a book or reading a scroll, he stands beside you with his attention solely on you alone.

“Are you hurt?”, his frantic voice cuts in and that’s the first time you had heard him be so scared, when exploring an old Jedi temple, your foot had gotten stuck in a crevice.

But before you could tell him you were fine, he turned on his flashlight on the side of his helmet, his gloved hands so gently pulling your foot out, his other hand hovering over the length of your skirt almost as if he was restraining himself from peeling them back just to inspect if you had any other cuts from the jagged rocks

You knew you should not indulge in this, but he was kind and stoic that even before you could recognise it, you had begun to fall for him. You pulled your skirt up till your knee and watched as he took a jagged breath, his helmet slowly looking up to see you but his fingers trailing up your calf ever so slightly that you had forgotten all about the mission.

You cleared your throat and he moved away but when you tried to stand up, your ankle gave way and he caught you before you could fall. Your hands resting up on his chest that from this angle you could see the soft tan skin of his neck, that you clung to him to immediately bury your face in his chest to hide the blush on your cheeks.

“We need to get you to a medic.”, he stated and you shook your head. “It’s fine, Crosshair. It’s just a sprain.”, you replied, trying to hide your fear that your ankle could be broken in reality. You stepped away but he continued to hold onto your elbow. But even the slightest pressure on the injured foot made the pain burst through again. So you bit your lower lip to feign it but he caught on immediately.

“You can’t fool me.”, he said endearingly as he pushed his rifle behind his back and before you could protest, he pulled you close and picked you up in his arms.

You couldn’t wriggle out of this one, so you let yourself settle in his hold. You hid your face under his chin as you slowly reached up to lock your hands around his neck. His scent was a mixture of soap and gunpowder.

“Comfy?”, he played off his nerves but you could hear it in his voice. “Very much.”, you huffed as the pain died down but you could feel the rhythm of his heart beat beginning to thud with rapid speed. Nothing else was said as he took you back to the ship.

Should I write a part 2?

[watchyourbuck]

Oh god okay here we go

Why must I go into heavy detail you ask? Well, I am actually unable to shut up so here it is them 10 TOP “there’s no chance this is a straight friendship” MOMENTS

“You can have my back any day” aka the enemies to lovers speedrun. The immediate feeling we’re supposed to get from the screen is jealousy. Buck is jealous of the new recruit because he’s hot, a medic, a veteran, whatever. I’ll give it to you children, he WAS jealous. But then they go on call and they get into immediate danger bc 911 is a drama and then Eddie’s very keen on being Buck’s partner. Nothing queer til then right? WRONG. Eddie’s line is pretty normal but the way Buck reacts isn’t. I have had my fair share of “huh this person I didn’t like is actually cool” moments but nEVER have I once sucked in a breath, forgot how to blink, rushed in my words OR stared at said person like I’d like for them to be my lover. Three points to Gayfindor.

“Is your son REALLY the reason you don’t date?” This line and the dialogue that follows makes absolutely no sense from the non-queer glass. Alright he asks bc he wants to know why two girls practically launched themselves at him and he declined (such a kind offer lmao) but… why are you standing so close? Why do you bump shoulders with him as you walk? Most importantly, what the FUCK does Eddie’s smirk mean after “they’re not my type either… not anymore.” Idk about you guys but when I’m not on the market I’m actually not in it 😀 and I don’t go around looking at my best friend like I’d consider fucking her (I’m actually kinda yikes about that thought bc she’s like my sister). Bottom line is: if you’re willing to fuck your best friend, there’s attraction. That scenes oozes attraction and I’d be willing to white glove challenge a body language reader.

The Tsunami. YES okay, there are far many moments in between but I also need to make this a somewhat readable list so here we go. We’re gonna pretend for a hot second Buck wants to save his best friend’s son, and not the child that he considers his own bc I’m tired. Let’s skip to the far end of this (be GrAtEfuL I’m skipping the whole sacrifice that this episode entailed. Buck was willing to die, to never sit down again if it meant looking for Chris [& the utter fear he has to face Eddie]. It’s a lot). Now, I do not OWN a child (thank god) but if I did, I wouldn’t be particularly comfortable with a simple friend from work taking care of them. They could be my very best friend from work and I’d still feel a little icky -at least nervous- about it. Yet Eddie not only takes Christopher back A F T E R the tsunami (Chris could’ve died and Eddie is nothing short of apprehensive), but he says ‘there’s no one I trust with my son more than you’. Um. Not his wife. Not his family (CHRIS’ family), not Abuela, not Tia Pepa. Buck. Who he… just met? Surely it isn’t bc he’s uncle buck… I don’t believe even Maddie has said that to Buck, where he’s actually, yknow, UNCLE BUCK. Co-parenting is not something done between a parent and a friend, and I know this shit bc my mom raised me with a few of her friends and guys,,, she never said that to any of them. Also Chris is practically never seen with anyone else from the 188firefam alone.

The Kitchen Scene™️. I have gone on rants about this before but truth be told THIS is the scene that conveys the MOST canonically sexual tension between them. We can joke about it all y’all want but this scene is unhinged. I don’t think Oliver and Ryan were aware that they should’ve been friends in this scene. The way the conversation shifts from apologetic sad puppy eyes to “you’re throwing your punches at the wrong guy” to I CAN TAKE YOU (???) you can what? “Oh you think?” “Oh I know” HELLO? Pls don’t even get me started on how Buck approaches Eddie, the way he’s puffy-chested, his hand on his belt, eyeing him up and down, nearly biting his lip, cocky grin,,,,, explain to me in hetero. I’m waiting😐 guys c’mon exPLAIN IT TO ME IN HETERO. The way Eddie glances to the side bc where’s Chris? And h o w he sips his beer right after, smirking, tiLTING His head. I’m sorry this is not straight in any way. I’m sorry you’re gonna have to accept this.

Clipboard Buck. Alright u got me!!! This one’s a lil silly, but so is my life, so it’s fair game. Clipboard Buck is annoying as fuck, he’s so fucking annoying. The entire firefam picks up on this, no one wants to be around,,,, except Eddie. You could argue that it’s bc he likes him as a friend and he’s just indulging …. 👁️👄👁️ sure but he also hides from Interim Captain Han soooo anyway what’s fun about this is how willing Eddie is to comply with everything he says. He’s basically twirling his hair, kicking his feet, smiling & blushing and “check!” 🧍🏽‍♀️ buck is kinky (that is canon e.g the ring cutter) and he gets high on authority and Eddie does backflips to meet his kinks. Exhibit 5 complete.

The Lawsuit Arc acka the first divorce era😔✊🏼. This one makes me rage a little bit because I get really upset at Buck for acting recklessly. Like baby let yourself HEAL. Anyway,,,, onto what brings us here 🥷🏼. It’s canon that the entire team is mad at Buck, they don’t really wanna bump into him, can’t really speak to him,,, but Eddie? Eddie’s filled with wrath. I cannot stress enough the fact that he uses Chris as an excuse “do you even know how much he misses you? how could you! you’re not here”. The way he expresses himself, and we’re choosing to ignore the fact that he HIMSELF misses Buck,, that’s how you talk to someone who has a responsibility with the child, not the fun coworker that randomly shows up @ your house with pizza every once in a while. “I couldn’t even call you to bail me out of jail”. He’s so u p s e t that for the first time they know each other he can’t rely on Buck when he’s hurting and in danger. And pls for the love of Jesus Christ my lord & savior don’t tell me that it’s a 118 thing bc he calls Ronda Rousey to come pick him up 🎅🏻 that grocery store scene is.. interesting.

Eddie Underground. Alright we’re getting serious now guys,,, might as well put on your thinking caps on this one. We all know the story, this isn’t a latest ep recap soooo The wAY Buck’s the ONLY ONE who desperately calls Eddie’s name when he’s fallen underground, amidst the heavy rain and dirt. Listen to me: he starts digging with his hands. With his bare hands I tell you!!!! 😩 Bobby has to physically pull him back as he cries on his lap. Buck is a smart man, he wouldn’t do something that’s completely illogic, he knows he can’t dig him out but he’s so desperate. His voice breaks, he can’t breathe, he becomes impulsive, reckless, impatient. Do I need to remind y’all the reason he wasn’t the one getting strapped to go underground??? “You’re not going down there. So we can have two cut off ropes?” Everyone knows he’s willing to sacrifice his integrity for Eddie bc his life doesn’t make sense without him. “We’ll get him back for you”

The Shooting + “I’ve made u my son’s dad lol”. When Eddie gets shot the world freezes for Buck. He’s left standing there, staring as Eddie’s blood splatters on him. He has to be tackled down. Even then, he’s unable to move, to breathe. He just looks as he bleeds out, and theN he snaps back into reality, bracing himself to go under the truck (foregoing his own trauma - I’ve said this before) and preparing for the amount of strength it’s gonna take to pull him under it. He screams at him to hold on, and later when he manages to pull him inside the truck he tells him he needs him to hang on. He rips his uniform open, he cries and screams,,, then Eddie wakes up, and he asks BUCK if HES okay. Bc he saw blood :( also as @butraura pointed out, he can’t die if Buck’s dying bc what about Chris? He only lets himself drift off when he knows Buck’s okay. Then we got The Will Reveal™️ also so unhinged. “You knew I wouldn’t turn it down” right what is this guys??? That was a year ago. He added him to his will A yEaR aGo. Idk about y’all but I haven’t added my friends to my will😀 also Buck’s the one who tells Chris ??? (I’m being very brief on this subject). Also “Because, Evan” shut up🧎🏽‍♀️

& 10. The Lightning Strike + “She sees me”. I’m doing these together bc I haven’t watched this episodes yet but I’m an addict so I’ve spoiled myself to the brim. The way Eddie screams Buck’s name, the way he saves him, “do more” h e l l o ?? The absolute PAIN in Eddie’s eyes, “you died Buck” “3 minutes and 17 seconds”, “his humor hasn’t changed” & the fact that he listens to Buck on his super genius math theory. And then Buck goes and says “I feel like Natalia sees me” ok. I mean my feelings mean nothing but Eddie’s face ??? That’s a man that knows he’s waited too long.

I rest my case. I’m missing a lot of scenes (like a lot omg Abby comes back, Buck under the Truck, Buck vomiting blood, the Taylor Arc) & y’all can argue in the comments about them, or add shit or try to dismantle mine, honestly the floor is yours idc wHat u do, just know you won’t convince me otherwise 🤸🏽these two are in love & that’s pretty much that on THAT. PERIOD.

Sleeping on a ship wasn't bad, really. You’ve done it plenty of times during your time as a medic and had relatively gotten used to it. The pros outweigh the cons, basically, except for the time difference. You always woke up at odd hours, losing and gaining sleep depending on the night. Majority of the time it wasn't an issue because it would never interfere with your work, except for a few occasions.

One instance you can think of immediately was during one of your missions with Clone Force 99. You were up at odd hours again, it wasn't long before you were supposed to be up anyway so you decided to get dressed. You didn't want to turn on the light next to your bunk and wake everyone else up, so you grabbed what at the time, seemed like your civilian clothes and headed to the fresher to shower.

Your shower didn't take long, you were able to wash your body and face in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, the shower did nothing to wake you up at all due to your lack of sleep, all it made you want to do was climb back into your bunk and sleep until you had to wake up. So, that's what you did. You went back to your bunk, got dressed in the dark and climbed back in your bunk and fell asleep. Little did you know, this decision would be your best and your worst decision at the same time.

You rolled over to the opposite side of your bunk, slowly waking up and seeing that the door was open, meaning everyone else had probably woken up already. You rubbed your eyes, waking yourself up enough to climb out of your bunk and slide on your gloves and shoes. You stretched your limbs, slowly walking out of the room and seeing Omega and Echo talking just outside of her room.

Echo noticed you first, his eyes widened slightly for some reason and you could have swore you saw his lips curve into a small smirk. Omega turned and saw you, her eyes lighting up before turning to a sudden look of confusion. “What happened to your-” Echo cut her off by suddenly picking her up, putting her on his shoulders and putting his finger over his lips, shushing her with just a look. He looked back at you, gesturing towards the cockpit.

You turned and began walking to the cockpit, swearing to yourself that you heard him mumbling something under his breath. You approached the cockpit and Tech and Hunter turned to you, both with a slight look of surprise in their eyes. “Morning..” You yawned, covering your mouth for a moment before speaking. “We're still going on the supply trip, Sarge?” You asked Hunter, blinking a few times in an attempt to wake yourself up fully.

Tech and Hunter shared a look before Hunter nodded, handing you your comm device. “You're going with Wrecker, make sure he doesn't try and buy more rations than needed.” He muttered, glancing back at Omega and Echo. You looked around the cockpit and didn't see Wrecker. “Where is he?” You asked quietly, taking your comm from him. Tech adjusted his goggles and grabbed his datapad, sitting down in the pilot’s seat. “Wrecker insisted on letting you sleep and went into the markets on his own accord, alone.”

This shocked you. He willingly left and went alone just so you could get more sleep? You knew Wrecker was a compassionate person but you didn't want to read into it too much just because you had a slight bit of romantic feelings for him. You desperately tried not to smile, nodding your head and putting your comm device back on your wrist. “Thanks, Sarge, I’ll be back.” You turned and walked out the ship, not being able to help the stupid grin that your lips curved into once you began walking towards the markets.

The smell of spices filled your nose once you approached the food side of the markets, your eyes darting around in search of Wrecker. Obviously, he was going to stick out like a sore thumb, but weirdly enough, you couldn't see him. You figured he'd be around the sweets but he wasn't. You began gathering the rations Hunter had asked for, slipping some candy in to share with Omega, and that's when you saw him.

He was standing in front of a small stand, practically drooling at the sight before him. It was..cupcakes? They were big for cupcakes, probably would have actually fit in his palm with how big they were. They were all different colors, pink and purple, blue and yellow, red and black. You noticed he was looking at the red and black cupcake, of course. You smiled to yourself and slowly lifted your wrist to your face, pressing the button to activate your comm.

“Wreck? You there? I’m in the markets but I can't find you.” You spoke into your comm, ducking behind the people that walked past so he couldn't see you. You saw him jump slightly, frantically looking around for you before answering. “I- uh-” He started, pausing in between his words, obviously trying not to get caught. “I’m near the spices! The spices stalls.” He said frantically, the lie in his voice very clear.

You tried hard to keep your laughter in, keeping the crates of rations by your side. “I’m on the other side of the spice stall..need you to come carry these crates for me, please?” You murmured, still watching him from the other side. You couldn't see it from how far away you were, but he began fidgeting with his comm nervously. He quickly turned around and began walking to the other side, picking up the pace slightly when he caught eyes of you.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, just looking at you with wide eyes and very slightly flushed cheeks. You stood there confused, the crates stood next to you. Wrecker audibly gulped, his hands becoming a bit sweaty and clammy just seeing you. “You..” He said for a moment, his voice quieter than usual. Your eyebrow cocked upward in confusion, your hands moving to rest on your hips. “Me what?” You asked, your eyes swiftly scanning his face.

“You're..wearing my shirt.” He said in disbelief, his eyes stayed shamelessly on your body. Suddenly, every single puzzle piece clicked into place, the looks they gave you, the question Omega was about to ask..it was all about his shirt. Your hand slowly went over your mouth, your body immediately heating up in pure embarrassment, you wanted to curl up into a ball and die.

Who knows what the others were thinking about when they saw you in his shirt?! You immediately looked away from him, finally taking a good look at yourself. It looked like a dress on you, that's how big his shirts are. You slowly looked back up at him, the tension in the air felt suffocating. “I’m sorry..I was getting dressed in the dark and I didn't realize that it was yours and not mine-” He quickly cut you off, his lips curving into a small smile. “It's okay, it..it looks better on you anyway.”

You snapped out of your thoughts immediately, shutting up as you processed what he said. “Really? It does?” You whispered, your breathing getting slightly more erratic as you tried to calm your thoughts down. He nodded and bent down, picking up both of the crates and effortlessly putting them on his shoulders. “It's just these?” He said, adjusting the crates to rest comfortably on his shoulder blades. You glanced back over at the cupcake stand, smiling to yourself. “Yeah, I’ll..go buy another shirt, you can go back to the ship.”

He let you walk by him without a word, mentally hitting himself for not offering to go with you. He frowned slightly and walked back to the ship, glancing back at you about twice before you were out of his field of vision. You waited until he was sure you walked away, going to buy a black shirt that was actually your size and the red and black cupcake, which you had put in a small container.

You ducked into a small alleyway and changed your shirt, using Wrecker’s shirt to hide the cupcake as you walked back to the ship. Once you got there, you noticed that Omega wasn't in the cockpit where she'd normally be, which was a sign she successfully found her sweets and managed to hide them. Tech still had some repairs to finish up so you all weren't leaving for a bit anyway, so you decided to give Wrecker his..compensation for stealing his shirt.

Conveniently enough, Wrecker was already outside of the ship carrying the last of the tools needed to repair the ship to Tech, not noticing you had come back already. You slipped past them both, tapping his shoulder as you walked by and gestured for him to follow away from the ship. He immediately shuffled to his feet, walking after you immediately. You kept walking, giggling when he began to pick up the pace after you wouldn't stop walking.

He eventually chased you to a clearer part of the small forest, watching as you sat down with his shirt in your hands, being realistic..he wanted you to keep his shirt on longer, probably forever if that was possible. “Why’d you sit down here? Thought we were leaving soon.” He asked, the confusion in his tone more than apparent. You gave him a soft smile, patting the grass next to you. “I know..but I wanted to talk to you while we still had some alone time..if that's okay with you.” You replied, a bit anxious about what you were about to tell him.

He was a bit nervous as well, a part of him knew what you were gonna say, after all, he picked up emotions more than anyone would expect. He sat beside you, his hands getting a bit clammy at the close proximity of you both. You slowly unraveled the shirt, revealing the cupcake to him. His eyes lit up immediately, watching with wide eyes as you opened the container and held the cupcake up to him. “I figured, since I technically stole your shirt..you’d need a little something for compensation.”

The look in his eyes made your heart melt, you quickly figured out that he loved sweet things, mostly from the amount of Mantell Mix he and Omega had consumed since you all first went to Ord Mantell. Of course, he immediately reached for the cupcake and grabbed it, taking a huge bite of it and beginning to chew it before looking at you with wide eyes as he realized he ate half of the cupcake in one bite.

He looked at the half eaten cupcake brfore his eyes darted to you, quickly swallowed what he ate and began stuttering and stumbling over what sounded like an apology, until you started laughing. He sat there dumbfounded, a bit of red and black frosting on the corner of his lips. You didn't know what took over you, but you leaned in and swiped the frosting from the corner of his mouth with your thumb and put it in your mouth.

“Huh..it's better than I thought it’d be.” You muttered absentmindedly, not aware of just how much of an effect your action had on the man before you. Wrecker, on the other hand, was utterly flustered out of his mind. You looked at him with a small, almost unnoticeable smirk. “Can I have a bite, Wrecker?” The light teasing in your tone doesn't go unnoticed by him, but he's too focused on you to even think about the cupcake anymore.

He nodded his head, watching as you leaned in and began taking a bite or two out of the cupcake while it was still near his lips. Wrecker silently gulped for a moment, watching intensely as you chewed on the small bit of cupcake you bit off before taking the leap and leaning in, letting his lips touch yours. Your eyes went wide-eyed, but you quickly began kissing him back. The kiss didn't go on for long, unfortunately, Wrecker pulled away after a few seconds and began apologizing profusely.

“I-I didn't mean to-” “Shut up and kiss me again Wrecker.” Your voice came out more desperate and breathless than you'd liked, but at the moment, you really couldn't care. He leaned in and kissed you again, groaning softly at the taste of the frosting on your lips. Your hands instinctively gripped on his shirt which was still on your lap, somewhat allowing you to ground yourself as you kissed him. You felt his hand snake around your waist, pulling you closer to him to the point where you were nearly on his lap.

You let go of his shirt, steadying yourself by putting your hands on his chest and smiling slightly into the kiss. You felt his hand slowly move up your back, his palm pressing you against him, needing you closer to him. You both pulled away, quietly gasping for air as you just looked at each other. Your lips instinctively curved into a smile, gently leaning in and kissing his scarred cheek.

Wrecker just held you against him, both of you were in silent understanding of each other’s feelings, confessing without even saying words to one another. You rested on his lap for a moment, you both casually giving one another small chaste kisses as you used your time alone to the fullest, knowing you both had to be back at the Marauder soon.

“So, do you think it worked?” Echo asked, glancing over at Omega asleep in the chair. Hunter simply snickered in response, grabbing your shirt from behind the pilot’s seat and tossing it to Echo. Tech adjusted his goggles and started up the ship, turning around momentarily to look at Echo. “It had better, or else Wrecker owes us all credits..and his hidden supply of Mantell Mix.” Hunter paused for a moment, looking back at Tech. “You're telling me he had a hidden supply this whole time?” Echo and Tech shared a look, nodding their heads in sync.

Hunter groaned softly and rolled his eyes in response, placing your shirt on the passenger’s seat. “Well, at least it didn't take them long, it would have probably killed me to see them act like they didn't like each other for another rotation.” Echo said with a grin, leaning back and pressing his comm, telling you both you had two minutes to be back at the ship before they left you both there..but would that really be a bad thing?

Cracks

Missions were not always easy. Sometimes as a rebel, you had to make hard choices. Choices that made it hard to sleep at night. This mission was no exception. It was a simple shoot first, ask questions later mission. You, Cassian, and K2 were sent to an Imperial base that was supposedly abandoned. Though if it was abandoned there should be no communication coming from it. And there were sporadic messages that couldn’t be translated by the Alliance. Your job was to investigate and kill anyone on site. The mission was classified as a success. You weren’t sure about that. 

You sat behind Cassian and K2 as they piloted you to the base. Silence encapsulated the U-Wing. Except for the screams that wouldn’t leave you. You glanced out the window. Hyperspace would always hold a certain beauty for you. The stars created a light show every time you moved along through the galaxy. 

“We should be arriving at Yavin in thirty minutes,” said Cassian. 

You sighed through your nose fidgeting with your fingerless gloves. Cassian turned towards you, reaching out a hand and wrapping it around your smaller one. 

“You alright my heart?” 

You glanced down at your entwined hands. You couldn’t quite bring yourself to look at him. Taking the hand that wasn’t holding yours Cassian cupped your cheek. Your gazes met he was worried. It made your heart flutter. You leaned your forehead to his inhaling his scent. He always reminded you of the spices you could sample in markets. You didn’t want to tell him what was wrong but the screams just kept getting louder. 

“My heart, please talk to me. What’s wrong?” 

You couldn’t hold it in any longer. Tears surged down your cheeks and you couldn’t even see straight. Cassian’s face a messy blur.

“Y/n, my heart what’s wrong? Are you hurt? Sweetheart look at me.” 

You shook your head as Cassian still delicately skimmed his hand across your body doubling checking you were indeed not injured. 

“My heart you have to talk to me,” Cassian stressed. 

Once he realized you had no external injuries Cassian pulled you into his lap. He guided your head to the crook of his shoulder. You ended up straddling him as your arms fastened themselves around his neck terrified to let go. Tremors wrecked through you as your tears turned to gut-wrenching sobs. 

Cassian placed his lips on your head and began whispering assurances in your ear. 

“Take a big breath in and hold it. C’mon Sweetheart. Big Breath in.”

You tried but every time you sucked a breath in you ended up choking on the air you so desperately needed. 

Cassian was beyond worried. Holding you as tight as possible he tried to remember his training for panic attacks. He’d never really handled one before. And it terrified him that you were the first person he had to try to handle. 

Obviously, the deep breaths were not working.�� Cassian started to hum a lullaby he’d hummed to you a few times at home on base. An old Fest lullaby his mother used to hum when he’d have night terrors. He ran a hand through your hair while the other traced patterns on your back. Your tremors were becoming less and less volatile. Your breathing had slowed down and you’d slumped like a ragdoll in his arms. 

“Shhh. There you go my heart. Shhh. Just let it all out.”

“Cass,” your voice was so hoarse you didn’t even sound like you.

“Shhh, it’s alright my heart. Shhh, we’re almost back to base. Just relax.” 

“Would you like me to alert the medics when we land Cassian?” K2 asked.

“No that won’t be necessary, I’ll just take her back to my room. Thanks, Kay.”

After landing back on Yavin 4 Cassian gathered you up in his arms bridal style. He carried you out of the ship ignoring the calls of Draven and the others as he navigated his way to his room that you two shared. Cassian placed you on the bed sitting you up. He kneeled in front of you placing both hands on your thighs trying to steady you. 

“Hey, I’m going to get you changed and then we’ll get you some water alright?” 

You nodded. Cassian sighed rubbing your thigh. He got up and turned to the dresser pulling out one of his clean shirts. He turned back to you pulling your shirt over your head. He took his time stroking your bare shoulders as he undid your bra. He kissed your lips and slipped his shirt over your head. He then worked on removing your weapons belt. Soon after he slid your pants off your legs with ease. 

“There you go, Sweetheart. I’m going to get you some water and a couple of capsules. I bet you have a headache.” 

You grabbed his wrist as he got up to go,

“Don’t go, please Cass–”

“Shhh. I’ll be right back in my heart. I’ll just be in the bathroom. Okay?” 

You let go of his wrist as he guided you to lie down. Cassian tucked you under the covers and pressed a kiss to your brow. He stalked off to the fresher and rummaged around for some low-pain reducers and filled a cup with water. He returned to find you half asleep in the bed. 

“Hey Baby, I need you to take these and drink some water okay?” 

You nodded and sat up a little taking the pills and swallowing them. The cool taste of water soothing your wrecked throat. Cassian turned to get himself ready for bed. Slipping off his shirt and pants which left him in nothing but his briefs. He walked over to the door plunging the cabin into darkness. No light aside from the blue glow of the fresher illuminating through the crack of the door. Cassian meandered his way back to you sliding into the bed and wrapping you in his embrace. He pulled you close so your head resided on his chest. 

“We don’t need to talk about it now, but I’m always here my heart.” 

“I know. I just–” 

“You just what Sweetheart? It’s okay.” 

“This mission really fucked with me, Cass.”

“I know it wasn’t easy.” “I can hear their screams, Cass.” 

“It’ll pass Sweetheart. I promise we did what we had to.” 

“Cass.” 

“Hmmm?” 

“I love you.” 

“I love you more my heart. Now let’s try to get some sleep.”

“What about the mission report? Draven?” 

“Sleep Sweetheart. I had to take care of you first.” 

You burrowed into the crook of his neck and wrapped your arms around him. You may feel like shit, but you had a man who loved you no matter what.

Medical Disposables Market to be worth US$ 326 Billion by 2033, Reveals Future Market Insights

The Medical Disposables Market revenues were estimated at US$ 153.5 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2023-2033, according to a recently published Future Market Insights report. By the end of 2033, the market is expected to reach US$ 326 Billion. Bandages and Wound Dressings commanded the largest revenue share in 2022 and is expected to register a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2033.

The rising incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections, an increasing number of surgical procedures, and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases leading to longer hospital admission have been the key factors driving the market.

The subsequent spike in the number of chronic illness cases and a rise in the rate of hospitalizations has fueled the field of emergency medical disposables growth. The expansion of the medical disposables market is being fueled by an increase in the prevalence of hospital-acquired illnesses and disorders, as well as a greater focus on infection prevention. For example, the prevalence of healthcare-associated infection in high-income countries ranges from 3.5% to 12%, whereas it ranges from 5.7% to 19.1% in low and medium-income countries.

A growing geriatric population, an increase in the incidence of incontinence issues, mandatory guidelines that must be followed for patient safety at healthcare institutions, and an increase in demand for sophisticated healthcare facilities is driving the medical disposables market.

The market in North America is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 131 Billion by 2033 from US$ 61.7 Billion in 2022. In August 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance concerning healthcare single-use items reprocessed by third parties or hospitals. In this guidance, FDA stated that hospitals or third-party reprocessors would be considered manufacturers and regulated in the exact same manner. A newly used single-use device still has to fulfill the criteria for device activation required by its flagship when it was originally manufactured. Such regulations have been creating a positive impact on the medical disposables market in the U.S. market in specific and the North American market in general

Competitive Landscape

The key companies in the market are engaged in mergers, acquisitions and partnerships.

The key players in the market include 3M, Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., Abbott, Becton, Dickinson & Company, Medtronic, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Bayer AG, Smith and Nephew, Medline Industries, Inc., and Cardinal Health.

Some of the recent developments of key Medical Disposables providers are as follows:

In April 2019, Smith & Nephew PLC purchased Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. with the goal of expanding its advanced wound management product range.

In May 2019, 3M announced the acquisition of Acelity Inc., with the goal of strengthening wound treatment products.
