#One More Painless Night GLU

Some thoughts on Law and a pregnant gf and later as a dad? ❤️
I decided to make these headcanons! I usually HC law as being sterile from his white lead disease so this certainly had my brain working but i absolutely adore the idea of Law as a father
Law would be on edge throughout your pregnancy, though he does try to hide that anxiety. He would be glued to your side, making sure you and the baby are alright without making a huge fuss about it. He knows that if he looks worried, you will worry too, and that is not good for bot you and the baby.
Nightly scans become a regular thing with Law, him checking up on you and the little one every night to ensure that you and the baby are doing good.
The thought of his child inheriting his white lead disease freaks Law out. He has been through hell and back because of this disease, and he doesn't want any more trouble caused by the disease.
Law would dice deep into reading up on pregnancies and babies to ensure that he is prepared for any and all outcomes. He nearly forgets about the whole parenting part until you are practically waving that parenting book in his face and making him take a look at it.
If you let him, he would deliver the baby himself. This would be the quickest and painless pregnancy ever. If you wanted a natural birth, he would also respect that and be by your side with every painful contraction.
Once the baby is in his arms, Law is absolutely smitten. In his hands is a brand new reason to keep going.
He would try raising the kid with medical knowledge, just like his parents did with him. Just how far he goes with that would be up to you. If you want your baby learning how to say teratoma before they know classic fairytales, Law is the perfect father for that.
Law can be protective over his child. He just wants to make sure his baby is okay.
Law as a girl dad. Thats it. Thats the tweet.
The heart pirates would be so overjoyed about their new crew member! Theyre constantly swooping in to shower the baby with love and spoil them rotten whenever they get the chance.

゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*・。゚゚.*
Truly, you had no idea how you managed to find yourself within the King of Curses home - if you could even call it that.
You were a non-sorcerer, though living in a small village that resided so close to where countless massacres and killings had taken place at the hands of none other than Sukuna, word of heartless beasts and ravenous monsters travelled fast.
Especially when your village would fearfully leave him sacrifices as a result of a pact made between the village and the curse. It wasn’t something your village was necessarily proud of, yet you lived peacefully without the threat of raids at the cost of whatever, or whoever, the King of Curses wished for.
That wasn’t why you were here though. The monthly sacrifice had passed, and you continued to find yourself safe within your home. However, after a fight with your father over the infuriating matter of marriage, you had stormed out late at night.
You knew not to wander past the carefully crafted sign warning villagers of the upcoming dangers they would face should they continue following the path, and you could have sworn you hadn’t stepped a singular foot past that sign, or the stones that marked a makeshift wall of a few lonesome stones.
As a matter of fact, you had walked in the opposite direction. Sure, at some point you had gotten lost. But how on Earth did you find yourself within the gruesome walls of Sukuna’s home?
You were on your knees in front of him with eyes wide and fearful as your hands trembled and you stuttered out apologies and pleas for forgiveness for stumbling past the border that separates your worlds.
Sukuna, on the other hand, seemed uncharacteristically collected. You couldn’t see him from where you were knelt down, however, you could’ve sworn you saw a smirk playing on his lips. You quickly dismissed the thought.
He sat on his throne, lazily staring down at you as though you were nothing but another pile of bones to decorate his home. No matter how unbothered his stare, you felt like he was burning holes into your skin.
"I would've never have done it on purpose, I just got lost and I had no idea where I had gone so I was just walking and I-"
"Be quiet." He demanded, cutting you off. The minute the first syllable fell from his lips, your mouth was taped shut out of fear.
Your hands were shaking in your lap, fidgeting with the hem of your dress and playing with your fingers. Refusing to meet his dangerous glare, your eyes stayed glued to your hands.
You could feel the moment he stood from where he was previously sat as your heart immediately stopped before continuing to thrum at an increased speed and intensity.
Stalking up to where you kneeled, you noticed from his shadow that he towered over you. Gulping, you pleaded silently that he would show mercy through a quick and painless death - though the king of curses was not known to be so kind.
When he reached you, one of his arms took your chin in its hold and forced your eyes to meet his.
He studied you - the way your eyes watered, your lips trembled and how your hands were fidgeting in your lap. However, despite your petrified demeanour, he was fascinated with you.
The entire time you had been rambling on and throwing out sincere apologies, his mind was elsewhere and his eyes couldn't leave your terrified figure. He couldn't stop thinking about how attractive you were, and the things that he'd do to you once you had ceased your mindless babbling.
His finger traced the outline of your jaw and caressed your cheek - though you couldn't feel the fondness in his actions as your mind explored the possibilities of how he'd use that hand next. To choke you, perhaps? Or maybe he'd get it done quickly and tear your head from your body with the strength of just one hand.
“Are you going to kill me?” You asked, meekly. Slowly, you were coming to terms with your inevitable death and truthfully, you had no idea why you asked a question you knew the answer to, however his answer stunned you slightly and left you clueless and without a word able to leave your lips.
“I’m not sure,” he started, as his hand started to trail down your skin and to your throat. “I could kill you.” His grip on your throat tightened slightly, causing you to let out a gasp.
However, that same hand trailed back up to your face and toyed with your hair gently. “But, truthfully, I’d rather keep a precious thing for my own selfish desires. That is, until I get bored of you.”
A tear rolled down your cheek at his vague answer and left you with countless questions. Another one of his arms was raised causing you to flinch yet he only went to wipe the tears from your eyes as she smirked down at the sight of you.
“Poor thing, no need to cry.” Sukuna cooed mockingly as you bit your lip in an attempt to stop the tears from falling down your cheeks.
Without warning, he forced you to stand up. You suddenly realised how major the difference in height was as you craned your neck to look up at him. His huge figure overshadowed your own in every way. He was massive - tall and fully built and the fact that he had four arms did nothing to make you feel less small as he loomed threateningly over you.
Beckoning you to follow, he began to walk through the hallways of his home. There was a heavy silence that left you alone with only your thoughts racing through your mind. As you walked, you thought about how you had even ended up in this place to begin with. You had no recollection of ever walking past the dozens of signs that decorated the path for miles, warning villagers not to cross a certain point. And, you certainly didn’t remember ever walking into his home. 
The only memory still prominent in your mind was waking up to the sight of him sitting on his throne and staring down at you. You wondered how long you had been out for, and how long he had been looking at you in your unconscious state. 
Staring at his back, you trembled in anticipation. Even if you hadn’t heard the rumours of torn limbs and deaths so bloody only their bones remained, you would have known to be terrified. Evidently, he was strong and could kill you before you even knew it was going to happen - that said, you had come to terms with your inevitable death. It was inescapable, and you understood that.
The sound of a door being thrown open snapped you out of your whirling mind as your head cracked up. Chills were sent down your spine when you realised you were in his bedroom - it hadn’t even occurred to you that he needed one.
A malicious smile was sketched onto his face as one of his arms motioned for you to sit down on his bed.
You obeyed, yet you couldn’t help the disgusting images that coursed through your mind as though it was betraying you. Flashes of his larger hands touching you roughly in places nobody had touched, his lips whispering foul things into your ears and his dick thrusting in and out of you. You couldn’t stop the flurry of thoughts from spinning your mind and clouding your senses - even Sukuna could tell you were thinking about something that was making you lose your concentration.
It upset him.
Your attention should be on him, you should have been cowering in fear like you were before. So why did you look so calm and distracted all of a sudden?
You too were annoyed with yourself. Why were you fantasising about a man a curse who had every intention of killing you, no matter what riddle he fed you and whether he conveyed otherwise. 
He stalked up to where you were sitting on the bed and took your face into his rough hand, forcing it up so that he could properly examine the features carved onto your face.
“What about it then, human?”
You looked up at him with inquisitive eyes as you were snapped out of your forbidden thoughts.
Annoyedly, as though he expected you to remember every detail of each sentence that slipped from his mouth when he was looking so incredibly attractive, he rolled his eyes as he retold the words he’d said previously.
“How long do you think it’ll take before I’m bored of you, hm?” He asked, his voice not much lower than whisper though you could hear every word that left his lips.
You couldn’t answer him, you didn’t know how, and your lack of a response only annoyed him further.
With one his hands, he pushed you with little force against the bed, causing you to lay down. Your hands were now fidgeting on your stomach so he separated them, shoving them to your side before he leaned down. Two of his hands kept him up, whilst one of the other two roamed the side of your body and traced the figure of your hips and the second continued its hold on your cheek.
“I don’t appreciate your silence. If you can convince me that I won't get bored, and that I’m not wasting my time with you, I won’t kill you. Even after I’m finished with you.” His voice was low and stirred something within you. Truthfully, his time was difficult to waste, with him having so much of it. Though he wouldn’t tell you that until after you had convinced him to spare your life.
It didn’t take long until he realised he no longer needed convincing. He could smell your arousal and the lust that dripped off you. His eyes went wide when he felt your legs shuffle below him and heard your attempt at muffling a whine underneath him as you bit your lip - your eyes shying away from his own due to embarrassment. 
“Oh?” His voice was laced with a plotting and wicked tone. “Tell me, human, are you a virgin?”
The hand that roamed your hips made its way to your clothed pussy. Pushing the fabric separating your pussy and his hand to the side, he dipped a finger into the wetness of your folds and dragged it through your pussy briefly before pulling away and grinning as he watched your face contort into pure mortification and humiliation.
“Answer me, before I am convinced otherwise.”
You nodded hesitantly before watching his face morph into a hidden satisfaction that you could only detect from paying as much attention as you were. This made you nod with more confidence in your answer, pleased that it was the right one. 
“My sweet, innocent thing. I am going to corrupt and defile you. I am going to fuck the innocence right out from you and mold you into my perfect little slut. Though, from the looks of things,” Bringing his finger up to both his and your eyesights, he grinned. “You’re already a desperate slut waiting to be fucked.”
You couldn’t do much but nod in agreement with his words as you pressed your thighs together.
Swiftly, he ripped the clothes right of your skin, ruining your dress far past mendability. You shuddered, suddenly conscious of the cold weather as goosebumps formed on your skin. Yet, the close proximity between you and the curse would be more than enough to warm you up in no time.
He tore the clothes of your skin animalistically. Eager to see what was underneath, and he wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. Though, he wouldn’t show it on his face. 
After taking off his own robes, he pulled your head up and planted a fleeting kiss on your lips. You smiled bashfully, to which he smirked before gripping your hair and pulling you more towards the end of the bed.
Shamelessly, you gawked up at the sight of his bare chest. It was an impressive sight. He was undeniably ripped and your mind was swarmed with thoughts of the lewd things his muscles could do and all the positions he could manhandle you into without breaking a sweat. 
However, what mainly caught your eye was the drooling mouth that sat on his lower stomach. Eyes widening, your pussy throbbed at just the idea of what he could do with it, however, before you could dive much deeper into such disgusting thoughts, Sukuna was right there to pull you out.
He stood up straight and used one of his hands to tap your bottom lip, motioning you to open up. Though confused, you obeyed him nevertheless, however, it instantly became more clear when he shoved the tip of his cock between your lips.
You hadn’t thought to look when he first took off his robes - instead opting for gawking his bare chest and arms that turned you on more than they should have done. But now, whilst the tip of his cock was spreading open your lips, your eyes widened at the sheer size and girth of it.
He didn’t give you enough time to ponder on how you were supposed to take him all in your mouth before he was slowly inching his cock further inside. His face showed little emotion, other than the slight part of his lips when you attempted to move your tongue around.
Your hands went to cover whatever part of his length your mouth couldn’t reach, however, using one of his free hands, he pulled your hands away and held them in a harsh grip before forcing more of his dick down your throat.
Tears were pooling in your eyes and running down your cheeks and yet you hadn’t even taken half of his length. You were gagging and choking, struggling to breath as you tried to breath through your nose but the feeling of his fat cock shoving itself further down your throat made you struggle slightly.
Everything was so overwhelming. Sukuna was touching you everywhere and all you could do was take his cock down your throat obediently whilst you gagged and choked with tears streaming down your face.
You watched as his eyes fluttered closed and just the knowledge that you were making him feel good had you pressing your thighs together for even a hint of friction.
However, he was done before you knew it, taking his dick out of your mouth before he was even close to finishing as he pushed you back further on the bed, letting go of your wrists.
Looking up at him with tear-stained cheeks, you leaned back on the bed and brought one hand up to wipe your mouth. “Why- why didn’t you- was it not good?” you asked, evidently nervous by the way you had shrunk into yourself.
Immediately, Sukuna was able to tell that no matter what words came from his mouth about how disposable you were, he’d never be able to happily get rid of you. You were far too perfect for him to discard.
Once again, he took your face back into his rough hands and held it firmly, demonstrating the clear infatuation he had with your features and your perfectly sculpted face in his own cruel way. “Does my little slut miss having my dick in her mouth, hm?” He took another one of his hands, and after dropping the one holding your face, he slapped you harshly. Your jaw dropped open before immediately closing as a way to stop your lip from trembling. “Well, slut, you’ll take what I give to you. And what’s going to happen, is I'm going to cum inside of this pussy and you’re going to take every drop of it. Do you understand?”
With a few tears sliding down your cheek, you nodded compliantly. Despite your trembling lip and wet cheeks, you couldn’t deny the aching between your thighs and the desperation that only seemed to increase with each cruel action. It didn’t go unnoticed by Sukuna either.
He pressed another kiss to your lips before his mouth began to trail down your body. Two of his hands held you tightly, keeping himself up whilst also reminding you of the grip that he had on you and how you were his permanently. One of his other hands trailed up your thigh teasingly, before running a single finger through your folds like he had done previously, but much slower.
His mouth was on one of your breasts, taking your nipple into his mouth and sucking. He twirled his tongue around the bud as his other free hand went to toy with the other breast - unwilling to simply leave it neglected.
You had never been touched so intimately before and it had you desperate for more. Your hands went to thread themselves through his hair as you gasped at every skillful touch and kiss he left on your body.
In order to prepare you to take his dick, Sukuna slipped one of his long fingers into your hole and you gasped - never having felt anything like it before.
He moved it slowly in and out of your hole as he looked up to gauge your reaction - memorising every cute sigh he pulled from you and every twitch of your body - along with whatever he had done to elicit such a reaction.
It was the most kindest he had shown you all night, yet you loved every moment of his cruelty as you finally experienced what it was like to not be treated like glass or a piece of white fabric that was held up far from the muddied floor, careful not to be stained or tainted with the dirt of the real world.
This only made you yearn for more. The fact that he was giving you this sort of pleasure that you were so disappointed you had never felt before made you long for more of his touch before it was taken from you.
“Please,” You whispered meekly. He pulled his mouth away from your chest and sat up slightly to better meet your pleading gaze. His eyes portrayed no emotion but simply waited for you to continue. “Please I need your cock, I can’t take it anymore. I need it so bad, please don't make me wait any longer, Sukuna.”
Tilting his head, he grinned down at you and let out a chuckle whilst continuing to thrust his fingers inside of you at a leisurely pace. “Such a needy little whore. You can’t wait a few minutes for me to prep this tight, virgin pussy so that she can take me? It’ll hurt if you want me to fuck you now.”
Though his words gave the impression that he was unwilling to give you his dick straight away, the glint in his eyes said otherwise, telling you that he wanted nothing more than to fuck your tight pussy open with his dick rather than his fingers.
“I don’t care, I want it now.” You demanded impatiently.
Displeased with your tone, Sukuna gave a harsh slap to your aching cunt, causing you to whine out of pain stirred with pleasure. Taking his punishment as a warning, despite the way it made your cunt throb and yearn for more, you mumbled out a quick apology. “‘M sorry, I just want it so bad, Sukuna. Please will you give me your cock?”
He let out a satisfied humming noise with your change in tone and behaviour. “So you’re a slut for pain as well? You tell me you’re a virgin, yet all I see is a dirty whore begging for me to fuck her pussy.” He spat on your pussy before continuing. “I don’t think I can believe a word you say. You’re acting and talking like a whore, so I suppose I can treat you like one.” 
Taking a hold of your thighs, he pulled you down, closer to him before grabbing his hard dick and lining it up with your hole. You voiced out your gratitude endlessly, thanking him over and over until you were silenced by the feeling of his overly-large cock penetrating your tight pussy.
From then on, all you could feel was the pain of the stretch as you cried out. In return, he scoffed at you. “Didn’t I tell you it would hurt? Don’t act surprised, slut.”
The way that he was scolding you made you eager to please him once more. You brought your head up and connected your lips with his, whining into his mouth at the pain yet wanting to feel his cold comfort nevertheless.
Sukuna didn’t bother to go easy on you due to your endless pleas that had put you in the position of being split open by his cock. However, he wasn’t entirely selfish when it came to pleasure, and so he opened the mouth that had been sitting drooling on his stomach the entire time, craving to please you, and promptly attached it to your dripping pussy.
His tongue swirled around your clit as you gasped at your first taste of real pleasure whilst your pussy was squeezing down on his large cock. 
He was relentless as his brutal thrusts only sped up the more impatient he became, and soon, the insufferable pain that came with his inhumane dick pushing through your hole forcefully, melted into a euphoric haze that had you crying out and begging for more.
He held you in place as he pounded into you vigorously, keeping you perfectly still for him to use and thrust into like you were nothing but his toy whilst simultaneously having his messy tongue lap at your wet cunt, soaking his stomach in your juices. 
You could feel every vein of his dick dragging along your walls and hitting your sweet spot so effortlessly as though he knew your body like the back of his hand. Your eyes felt like they were rolling into the back of your brain with every movement he made.
“Fuck- you really are just a slut. This is all you good for, hm? Taking my cock like a desperate whore. You’re fuckin’ worthless. Just a cocksleeve for me to breed and throw about like a toy.” His head was thrown back as he spoke and your eyes were squeezed shut. You could barely even register the sound of his voice from how good he was making you feel, let alone the degrading tone of his words. “But you like that don’t you?”
After a few moments, he looked down to see that your mouth was hung open and your eyes were tightly closed. He rolled his eyes, annoyed you hadn’t been listening. 
The sound of skin slapping against skin and the wet noises of your pussy and his tongue endlessly toying with it was immediately cut through by the sharp sound resonating through the room of his hand meeting your cheek - much harder than the last time
Your eyes reluctantly peeled open to see him seething above you. Shivers ran through your entire body as you quivered underneath him at the sight of his raging features.
“You fucking listen to me when I talk to you.” He continued to pound into you at a vicious pace with hard, forceful thrusts. “Or have I already fucked you stupid? I wouldn’t be surprised. You’re nothing but a common whore. Remember who’s letting you live and who’s fucking you so kindly and amazingly before you start to ignore me.”
His threats had your pussy hugging him firmly before you gushed around his massive cock and into the sloppy mouth on his stomach. Yet he refused to stop there.
He grabbed your leg and threw it over his shoulder effortlessly as he managed to somehow push himself even further inside of your desperate cunt. 
You were incredibly overwhelmed by the change of position and the feeling of him even deeper inside of you after you had just came on his dick.
This factor didn’t seem to cross his mind even once considering he continued to thrust at the same merciless speed as before whilst his mouth pushed even harder onto your throbbing, overstimulating clit.
Sukuna’s eyes were scrunched in concentration and his head was thrown back in ecstasy. The feeling of your tight, virgin pussy coming around him and yet continuing to gush and beg for more had him spiralling as he felt you squeeze him unbearably tight.
“Want you to come again. You can do that, can’t you?” He asked breathlessly, his pace not faltering once. 
You moaned and nodded in agreement with him over the sounds of your squelching pussy and his hips meeting yours.
“Knew you could, sweet thing. Such a slut, wanting to come for the second time.” He chastised, though he was significantly more eager to get you to finish than he was before, after having felt you come on his dick once before.
“Shit, not gonna last much longer, not with you milking my dick like such a whore, sweet thing.”
Silently, you agreed, yet he heard every word of it. 
The combination of his dick thrusting inside of you so perfectly and his tongue quickly dragging itself through your folds whilst his hands travelled across your body was enough to send you over the edge for the second time.
You were practically screaming in pleasure whilst you came for the second time, your arms reaching to grab onto him for support as he pounded into you through your release.
Only moments after,due to the feeling of your cunt clenching around him, Sukuna was spurting hot, sticky shots of cum into your pussy as he rode out his high and his tongue slowed down. 
After coming down from his high, he slowly retracted his cock from your cunt, watching his cum dripping from your gaping hole before taking his fingers and shoving them inside of you, pulling you onto his lap in an attempt to keep as much of his cum inside of you as he could.
Sukuna leaned down, he was breathless and hot as he whispered lowly: “You’re not going anywhere, I might have to keep you forever, you know? Don’t think I’ll ever get over this pussy.”
As he kissed your cheek and down your jaw and neck, you smiled softly, still trying to catch your breath, yet happy that he was welcoming you into his life and home because truthfully, you didn’t think you’d ever be able to live without his dick.
note: this was really rushed and i'm very sorry for whats probably a very low quality last half however i'm exhausted and still have a load of other work to do so please be patient and i promise i'll edit it in the future!!

based on this .. hehehehehehehehehe also corio is very joe goldberg in this one. (dedicated to my baby 🤍. @casualhedonists)
Tumblr media
coriolanus snow had many a screw loose, and you were not oblivious to that fact.
the thing about power-hungry psychopaths, is they are aware that their greed will never be fulfilled if they reveal their true intentions at the jump. coriolanus snow was dangerously good at playing the game, and he was not used to losing. you had almost let it go over your head, the red-like-blood hued flags, but something inside you had signaled, more like alarmingly blared, that something was very, very wrong with the boy you thought loved you.
and so, on a storming and unbecoming night, you packed up your whole life, leaving behind your people and all that was familiar, and you moved to district 4 and set up residence on the beach. you’d met a man, a gentle, caring, fisherman. no, he could not afford to buy you diamonds, but he could string organic pearls on a chain and that was enough. you ate all the fish your heart could ever desire and you let the sun kiss your once pale skin; which was due to the constant cover of clouds and gloomy mist in the capitol. you were content with your little life, truly, up until you received word your mother was sick and needed her next of kin to help her sort the affairs that would allow her to move peacefully onto the afterlife that awaited her.
the trip was short, but every second of it was spent with a worry for your mother gnawing at your heart, and apprehension to see a certain white-as-snow haired boy. you’d brushed off all thoughts, and figured since the capitol was a big city, the chances of you seeing him were slim—especially considering you’d seen in the newspaper that he was making a name for himself in the political world of panem. he most likely was much to busy to care or even become aware of your returning.
you were wrong. the second you stepped through the gates of panem’s state of the capitol, you felt eyes on you. even after checking over your shoulders and finding nothing but stone architecture on display all over the city, the uneasiness of it all still twisted your gut.
nonetheless, you spent your time in the city of lights and glamour as intended, caring for your mother until she succumbed to a painless, peaceful, death. you saw to the funeral details with a heavy heart, and it was there you felt your heart drop to your toes. the man you’d spent so many years away from, standing in all his haughty glory. his ultramarine, icy, eyes containing nothing but a crazed longing within them. he’d stood across the cemetery in a long, black, fleece, trenchcoat. his hair was no longer a mess of ruddy, gold, curls, but now a styled as a contained, important, slick back—hauntingly, he resembled a ghost, and in a way, he was. a ghost of your past, the scariest one. his eyes glued onto yours as the pastor spoke a few words in honor of your late mother, and you had to swallow your fear for what would follow after the ceremony.
the second the final ‘amen’ left father glenndon’s lips, you turned on your heels, whispering a quiet goodbye to your the soil your mother laid beneath and made a break for it. he was so tall, legs so long and graceful, he caught up with you within a moment. as his cold, ring cluttered, fingers brace the sides of your arms, forcing you to a halt against the tallest stone grave in all of the graveyard, obscuring you from anybody’s view—which only fed your terror—you had to focus on your breathing so as to not let fearful tears slip from your eyes. “get your hands off of me,” your voice was shaky, because you knew just how unpredictable he could be and right now, all that you knew for a fact was that he wasn’t above tearing apart your life right here if you made the single wrong move. he did have the money, influence, and power for it, after all. coriolanus’ voice was sickeningly sweet, gentle, akin to your man back home. “hey, hey, i won’t hurt you, i promise. just wanna talk, that’s it, hm?” his hands move from your shoulders to your face, caressing his thumb against your tear-stained cheek. you shake your head, to deny the request and to get the feeling of his skin off of yours. “no, no. please, coriolanus, let me go home. i have a fiancée, who loves me and-“ your rambling is cut short but a wide-eyed, almost concerned, interjection from him. “he doesn’t love you like i do! i would kill for you, do you understand? he wouldn’t go to any lengths necessary to keep you safe—can’t you see that? i mean, there isn’t a line in the world that i wouldn’t cross for you! i’m not mad, i forgive you for leaving, i know you were just scared, just wish you talked to me, is all. please, dove, come back to the capitol. i haven’t been able to manage since you disappeared. can’t live without you, dove, i won’t,” you wince at the nickname, not having heard it since you left. “i can’t. i have a life in four, snow. i can’t just leave,”
there’s a pained flinch at the use of his last name, having been so used to your sweet, little, pet names you once used just for him. you probably call your fisherman back home those things now, and that thought made his blood boil more than any other. suddenly, almost as if stepping into a role, a character, his eyes deepen, like a bottomless pool of sorrow. “you didn’t seem to think so all those years ago,”
his devastating voice, his despaired, tragically blue, eyes distorted your judgement, and all of a sudden, he wasn’t coriolanus snow anymore. he was corio, your corio.
somehow, in some weird, twisted, round-a-bout way, that’s how you ended up here, writhing on his fingers, his venom-slick sweet nothings spilling into your ears as praises as you come undone on his hands. then on his tongue. and finally, after he’d spent so long giving himself orgasms with only the memory of you spurring him, you’d unraveled on his cock.
and he knew, he had you. he knew, baby came home.

Ages and Lil' facts about this blog's Au and it's characters.
Puppets:
Yellow
He's somewhere between 14 to 16 in this au (I know some people dislike having him be a child or in this case a teen but there's a reason for this.)
He may or may not have mild autism (?)
His eyes are a dark green but turn to a neon lime-ish color when his batteries are changed.
He can't exactly remember his death, all he remembers are smells, brief moments and someone yelling for him to get out of the way.
He likes drawing and sometimes paints with Paige (Sketchbook) although he avoids the color green.
He's not allowed to use the stove after he and Paige nearly set the kitchen on fire.
He's allowed to help out though.
He sees Red as a father figure while he sees Duck as more of a uncle, dad and grandpa mashup abomination.
He's well-liked by most of the teachers.
His room is painted dark green and he has those glow in the dark stars glued to his ceiling.
Red

Small, painless oneshot for this weeks' off-season winter sports fandom challenge, inspired by Stefan Rogentin's first world-cup podium in the Super-G race in Wengen and Gilles Roulin who had exams one day after the downhill. And also by Gilles' sweet story on ig a few days ago. ♥️
Tumblr media
The Tin Pitcher
pairing: Stefan Rogentin/Gilles Roulin characters: Stefan Rogentin, Gilles Roulin length: 1'400 words
The small village high above the valley is almost bursting at the seams, with people shuffling shoulder against shoulder through every street and alley, past bars and food stalls. Music blasts from seemingly every house but nowhere louder than on the village square. The ceremony has only just ended, and the crowds are still pressed against the fences, hoping for another picture or an autograph. Stefan can neither hide nor escape, even though he tries both. He barely catches a glance of the person at the far end of the square, the smile he would recognise in every crowd, before Mauro and Beat tackle him. His prize for the second place in the Super-G, an old fashioned tin pitcher, lies heavy in his hand as they escort him to the bar, all the while congratulating themselves on keeping him from sneaking away. The bar is on the roof of a hotel, not theirs though, and through the glaring, flickering lights shooting into the night Stefan can see the track winding around the mountain like a bow, waiting for the next race tomorrow. There is a lot to celebrate today, not just his very first podium in the World Cup or Odi's third place but also, more important than his achievements anyway, Mauro's and Beat's retirements. Still, his heart is not really in it, knowing what is happening at the same time somewhere down the road. He indulges them nonetheless, Mauro and Beat who refuse any nostalgia or sadness tonight, and Marco and Aleks who keep handing him one glass after the other that he discretely starts to dump into the giant pots of boxwood standing around the roof after a while. He manages his escape in the end, once Odi jumps on the bar and throws his shirt into the hollering crowd, and slinks into the night. Nobody spares another glance at him as he walks past the parties in the streets, his pitcher hidden under the jacket.
He has always been good at hiding.
The door clicks softly as he pushes the card into the slot, and quietly he slips into his room. It lies in almost complete darkness, the sickly light of the laptop and tablet on the table barely reaching the foot of their beds. Stefan stays still for a moment, his back resting against the door, and takes in the familiar sight.
"Hey."
"Hey," Gilles answers. His eyes remain glued to the screens, scanning the endless rows of text as he scrolls down the pages. Ever so often he stops, and grabs one of the many sheets of paper scribbled all over with notes, lying scattered all around him. The harsh light from the laptop paints dark shadows under his eyes and around his nose and turns his skin the colour of the trampled snow down in the streets.
"I saw you at the medal ceremony," Stefan says.
"Indeed?" Gilles says to the screen. "Cool."
Stefan laughs softly, and pushes away from the door. He puts the heavy pitcher down on a stack of notes on the table. Gilles' lips move without any sound coming out as he follows a certain text passage, and he does not flinch when Stefan bends over, and presses a kiss in his hair.
"It was," he says as he begins to undress. "Though I have to say the fire was a bit of a surprise."
"Huh."
"Yeah. But it only singed Aleks a little bit, so all's well."
"M-hm."
Stefan smiles. "Also, he will have enough time to recover anyway, seeing as they cancelled the race tomorrow." The cleaning crew that tidied their room today hid his shirt under the freshly made bed, and he has to dig through the stack of pillows.
"Good, good," Gilles mutters.
The fan in the windowless bathroom starts to whir as soon as Stefan flips the light switch. He leaves the door open while he brushes his teeth. "The afterparty was nice too. Beat retired from his retirement, by the way."
"Yes."
"Says he will start for San Marino from now on."
"Exactly!"
Gilles grabs another sheet from the table, and compares his notes with the text on the screen before resuming his lecture. He does not take notice of Stefan turning on the bedside lamp before sitting down on the bed behind him.
"Also, Odi offered to suck me off."
Gilles whirls around in his chair. "He fucking what?"
Stefan breaks down laughing.
"You…," Gilles growls, and he is just about to join him when he finally returns to reality. He jumps up straight in his chair, taking in the night that had fallen around him, and then turns to the laptop to read the time.
"But why are you here?" he exclaims, and turns to Stefan again. "You're supposed to be at your party!"
"I was tired."
"You can't be tired already! You only win your first world cup-podium once!"
Stefan laughs again, and holds out his palm. "That's generally how it goes, yes."
Gilles smiles at him, and puts his hand in Stefan's. It is a familiar weight there, his thumb knowing every ridge and bump of Gilles' fingers as he strokes them. They understand each other even without talking; their secret language that only they know has more than words, and Stefan only needs to cock his head, and put some pressure in his grip for Gilles' smile to fall.
"No!"
"I couldn't stay at the party," Stefan explains, ignoring Gilles' exclamation. "I have something important to do."
"No, please!" Gilles begs, and tries in vain to pull his hand out of Stefan's tightening grip. "Please, you don't understand! I can't…"
Stefan raises his eyebrows, and stands up.
"The exam is in two days!" Gilles says loudly, and grabs the lid of his laptop with his free hand to keep Stefan from shutting it. "I have to learn! Please, no!"
With a smile, Stefan bends down. "You have a race tomorrow," he whispers. "You need to sleep."
He presses a kiss against Gilles' babbling lips and slowly, unrelentingly shuts the laptop until its light vanishes.
"Just one more chapter, I promise I won't stay up longer but I need to go over that last part again, otherwise I can't…not the tablet too! Stefan!"
Stefan laughs as the tablet shuts down with short beep. He wraps his arms around Gilles when he jumps up, not in the least bothered by the flashes of anger shooting out of his dark eyes. They die quickly, like the laptop and the tablet, with another kiss that pulls a defeated sigh out of Gilles. It is far from the first fight they have battled in the past weeks.
"You have learnt, and relearnt, and crammed everything you need to know," Stefan mutters against Gilles' lips, and softly guides him towards the bed. "All you have to do now is keep your cool. Tomorrow you will have a great race, and after another night's rest you will blow the examiner's mind with your knowledge, and next week in Kitzbühel I will finally be able to begin every sentence with 'My lawyer says…'."
"I'm not becoming a lawyer!" Gilles objects while Stefan pushes him down onto the mattress, climbs over him, pulls the blanket over their feet, and turns off the bedside lamp. "It's just the final exam for my Masters of Law. If I wanted to become a lawyer I'd have to acquire a letters patent which means I would have to pass the bar, which means I would need at least five years of on-the-job-experience, and I don't…"
He breaks off when Stefan pulls him close, and with a sigh crumples against his shoulder. The old building is well insulated, and nothing from the party raging outside gets through the thick walls. Slowly, Gilles' breathing comes calmer and flatter while Stefan strokes his hand.
"Sorry I wasn't with you tonight," he mutters eventually, half-asleep.
"It's okay," Stefan answers. "I saw you from the podium."
"Really? But I was in the middle of the square."
"I would find you anywhere."
Gilles hums, and his head drops off Stefan's shoulder down on the pillow. Tenderly, Stefan pulls his arm out from under Gilles' body, and pulls the blanket up to their chins.
"I wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world," Gilles mumbles. " 'm proud of you."

but he worries, you know? you are so sweet and popular... everyone idolizes you. with a boy as sweet as you, how could you not be a name everyone knows! you're the one always running around doing favours for whoever asks, who takes any sick classmates to the infirmary, who's always one call away. what a sweetheart you are... there are so many monsters who will take advantage of you, you know?
rei loves your energy. how could he not? being around you is like being under the stars on a full moon night, or having a fresh drink after being thirsty for years. he can never get enough of the pep to your attitude and how caring you are.
he starts to hang over you more, wrapping his arms around your waist at any free moment. he kisses at your neck and rubs your back as soon as you even hint that you may be sore or tired. maybe you should go back to your dorm for the day? no, actually. come to his. his roommates will not mind. sleep in his bed and you'll feel much better!
if clinging to you doesn't work to make people leave you alone, that's when he escalates. all he wants is his darling to be healthy and well respected. can you lot not understand that? fine. he will make them.
an idol you do work with often suddenly drops the course. he says the pressure was too much, the other idols were too scary. as he apologizes to you and runs off, you swear you see bandages on his wrist. maybe he got into a scuffle with someone... but then it happens again — another idol you work with suddenly drops and apologizes for taking advantage of your kindness. within a week, you have about ten different students nearly groveling at your feet as they leave yumenosaki, all with some sort of bandaged injury. the scariest one had bandages wrapped around his neck. that's when it clicks.
you confront rei alone in his dorm, telling him that you know it was him scaring off the other idols, and he shrugs it off. even as you express your anger with him, the lax, confident smile on his face never leaves. after you finish scolding him, he simply wraps his arms around you, pulling you into his lap as he sits back on his bed. you're so cute when you stand up for yourself, darling. he just wishes you could be like this more often.
he pins you to his bed as his smile grows sinister, and his eyes are glued to your neck. maybe he needs to stop marking others as a warning. maybe if he marks you with his teeth instead, he won't have to hurt anyone else!
hold still, darling, he'll make this as painless as possible... after all, he just wants you to be safe.

second chances
Tumblr media
pairing: softdark!steve rogers x reader 
summary: you wake up on the side of the road with no memories, no possessions, and no place to go. luckily, an attractive stranger arrives just in time to help you out. 
word count: 4.6k
warnings: there are some soft moments, but this is ultimately a dark fic!!! alluding to kidnapping, deceit, mention of knife, drugging, abuse (mostly mental/emotional, but implied physical), amnesia, brief alcohol mention, nightmares, mention of bodily harm, bed sharing **if i’m missing any warnings, let me know
author’s note: this is my first dark fic without a dark reader, so please be nice! it took me nearly a whole month to get it where i want it to be (i’m a slow writer, i know) but i’m actually pretty proud of this. 
you can find my masterlist and taglist here
After what seemed like years of waiting, the opportunity finally lent itself, a small pocket knife sat right in your peripheral view. A dangerous mixture of adrenaline and impulse filled you, not even granting you the time to think before you were clumsily extending your arm, and wielding the knife. 
The blade popped out, and you held it with a shaky hand in front of your captor.
“Really?” he scoffed, “you’re gonna kill me.”
There was no attempt on his part to stop you, in fact, he smiled and leaned back slightly.
Your whole body trembled at this point, you could barely form words, let alone move. But this was your chance.
“So do it, Y/N. Kill me,” his voice steadily rose as he approached you, long legs making their way across the room.
Before you knew it, he was standing in front of you, hand approaching your own. He wrapped it around your wrist and gripped down on you like a snake, causing you to emit a tiny yelp.
“What are you waiting for?” he asked, voice steady as your hands trembled around the grip.
“Exactly. You’re still as fucking pathetic as you were the day I met you,” a slap stung your left cheek, a mark that was sure to be there for the days following. 
The knife clattered as it hit the linoleum floor, and you followed its path, crumbling on the floor and breaking into tear-less sobs. 
“Remember this moment, sweetheart. You’ll never get a chance like this again,” he swooped up the knife before walking away from you, leaving a broken woman in his wake.
——
You went from experiencing nothing to everything all at once. Your brain seemed to be attempting to escape your head as it pressed against your eyes, and you struggled to open them, lashes feeling like they were glued together. Rain poured down on your head, and you concluded that it had been pouring on you for a while, as you were completely soaked to the bone. 
As you looked at yourself and your body, a curled up and bruised mess on the side of the road, you couldn’t help but wonder what exactly happened to you, or at all. You weren’t even sure that you had memories apart from the ones that were processing in that exact moment. It was as if you’d exited the womb for a second time, clueless to where you were, who you are, or how you got there. 
You shivered as you pulled yourself to your feet, weak ankles shaking in glittery heels and body trembling in a half-torn dress. Wherever you came from couldn’t have been good.
You slipped off the shoes and held them in your hands as you walked down the side of the deserted road, bare feet sloshing in mud as you did so. You didn’t have an idea where you were, or where the nearest sign of life was. You were tempted to walk on the soaked, petrichor scented road, but you knew that that wasn’t your best idea.
You truly had no good options. Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. No one to save you. You wanted to collapse back onto the ground, give into your screaming body that was becoming more and more tired by the moment. Hot tears began to slip down your face, contrasting the cold of the raindrops falling onto your body. 
All hope was lost, you’d die any time now, and that would just be it. You looked up at the overcast sky and screamed at it, mentally begging for someone, anyone, to help. That you’d forever be grateful to god, or the universe, or whatever it was that was out there that put you in the situation you were in. 
You screamed and sobbed until your throat was raw, and you weren’t sure you’d be able to produce any more sound, sitting down onto the damp ground and wishing for your inevitable death to be a swift and painless one. 
Yet, your pity party was crashed just moments later by a beaming red light and the soft hum of a motor coming down the road. This was your one chance. Who knew when the next time you’d see a sign of human life was?
You jumped to your feet and waved your hands like a madwoman, trying to catch the attention of the male behind the driver's seat. He began to come to a stop, pulling over a bit to see you better.
His face was angelic, a strong jaw and soft eyes that looked like they had seen more than the average person. When he spoke, you felt heaven become drowsy with harmony. Or maybe you were just really tired. Regardless, your pleas to a higher power had proved fruitful, as your knight and shining armor had just pulled up beside you to save the day.
He rolled a window down, and you got closer to the door.
“Need a ride, ma’am?” he called.
You simply nodded and approached the vehicle, opening the door hesitantly. You sat down on the seat, and jumped a bit when you felt heat radiating onto the back of your thighs.
“I’m Steve. You?” 
You chuckled awkwardly, “that’s a great question that I wish I could answer. It’s actually kind of a long story. Well, I assume it’s long since I can’t remember any of it. But maybe I will later. Nice to meet you anyway, Steve.”
He nodded understandingly, completely unfazed by your lack of name. Maybe he had prior experience with hitchhikers, as he was approaching this situation with a nearly suspicious calmness. “Well… where’re you heading?” the man asked, looking over at you.
“I, uh, I have no idea,” you said raspily, throat still sore from your previous screaming.
The blonde’s lip quirked at this, as if he were holding back a much bigger smile, “that’s fine. I’m heading a few towns away, but I was thinking of stopping and getting some breakfast. You interested in that?”
You shrugged, becoming slightly uncomfortable in the quickly dampening seat. Steve glanced over at you after putting the car in drive, and noticed your discomfort from your prior stay in the rain.
“We can stop by a bathroom first. I’ve got some extra clothes with me in the back,” he suggested. You nodded quietly, looking at the vast, and empty road ahead. 
----
You sat in a diner booth dressed in a thick jacket and comfortable sweatpants that oddly enough, seemed to be exactly your size. Steve approached the table with an extra plate of fries, and set it gently in front of you. 
“So you don’t remember anything?” he asked, stealing a fry before sitting down across from you. 
You shook your head, bringing a salty fry to your mouth, “I swear I just woke up there. No memories, no nothing, no place to go. I mean, I was gonna die out there if you didn’t get me.”
Steve scoffed a bit at this, “that’s not true. I’m sure someone would’ve helped eventually.”
“Maybe. But I’m glad that it was you,” you looked up at him, and the fondness he was looking at you with was nearly suffocating. 
Steve paused for a moment, mulling over his next words as if he was looking for the exact right thing to say.
“Would you like to stay with me? I mean, I know we just met each other, but I just have this feeling. Like I was meant to find you. Besides, it doesn’t seem like you have anywhere else to go.”
“I have to go to the bathroom,” you excused after a moment, popping out of the both and heading towards the ladies room.
You handled your business, and stared at yourself in the mirror as you washed your hands. Makeup ran down your face, and it almost appeared that you were melting. Who would pick someone up in such a state? You had to question this Steve guy’s character a little bit. You couldn’t remember the exact phrase, but it couldn’t be smart to get into a car with a stranger. Especially a stranger offering to take you to some secret location with them. After all, he could be a murderer, a kidnapper, or a rapist. You would be none the wiser.
But he fed you, clothed you, and offered you a form of shelter. He couldn’t be too ill intentioned if he was willing to go out of his way to help, right? Maybe he just wanted to keep you off the streets, and that was why he was willing to take you to wherever it was that he was going.
Your stomach turned the longer you watched yourself, the longer you thought. Perhaps your intuition found that something was off. But who even knew if you could trust your intuition, after all, you were basically a day old, and you didn’t seem to have any other option.
——
You ended up going back out into the diner and accepting Steve’s offer. You didn’t really have much of a choice, and he wasn’t exactly a bad one. 
Steve was quiet for the majority of your trip, only speaking when he noticed that you’d moved your sights from the window over to him. He didn’t seem to be a fan of the way you were studying him, but for some reason your eyes kept finding him.
Hours had passed in the day, and night was quickly approaching. You dozed as you watched the starry night from the passenger window. Your eyes were becoming heavier by the moment, hours worth of watching flat landscape, combined with the complexity of your day finally catching up to you.   
——
Cold. You felt cold. The floor was cold. The blood running through your veins was cold. Your brain was cold and freezing, hindering you from properly processing what was going on in front of you. 
A searing pain rolled through your body as you tumbled down the stairs, back into a room that was suffocatingly familiar.
“I should’ve never allowed you to leave. Ungrateful,” a faceless man followed you down the stairs and hovered over your now battered body. “I give you a home and you complain. I take care of you, giving you almost anything you could ever ask for. You complain. Do you know how many people would kill to be in your position? With someone like me taking care of them?” 
“You told me you loved me, you goddamn liar. I let you come upstairs, and you try to fucking kill me. I should kill you,” he seethed, leaning down over you.
But I won’t.
The words were unspoken, but familiar. A threat uttered to you before, usually followed with an ‘I’ll make your life a living hell instead.’
You were unable to speak, as if someone had ripped out your vocal cords. Suddenly the faceless man was reaching down and holding the bloody organs in his hands. Your blood ran cold once again. 
“You can’t even fathom the hell I want to release on you right now,” he continued, chest puffing out with exaggerated, angered breaths. “But I’ll be the bigger man. Because I love you,” he dropped the cords on the ground beside you, and your eyes flicked over to the mutilated part of yourself. “Y/N, I need you to prove to me that you love me.”
You wanted to beg, to plead and tell the man whatever he needed to hear in order to release you, but you were completely powerless. 
The man hoisted you up with ease, and you soundlessly whimpered. He carried you into a small, plain room and set you on the flat, stiff mattress on the floor. 
“Come on, Sweetheart. You know I’m doing this for us.” 
The faceless man kissed your forehead, and the feeling of dread overtook you.
——
You awoke with a gasp, clawing at your own neck to make sure that your vocal cords were still intact.
“You alright?” Steve asked, glancing over at you. “Should I pull over?”
“No, I’ll be fine,”  you whispered.
“Take some deep breaths for me, okay?” he advised, setting a reassuring hand on top of yours. “We’ll be at the hotel any minute now.”
——
Your nerves were absolutely fried by the nightmare. Your hands shook like leaves in the wind while you stood next to Steve as he checked you into your hotel room.
“How’re you doing?” he asked in the elevator, setting his large hand on top of yours once again. The gesture was calming, even if you felt a slight undermining feeling of something unsettling.
“A little better. I probably just need to lay down somewhere comfortable.”
Steve nodded and squeezed your hand, “you’ve had a long day. You have first dibs on the shower. Maybe it’ll help you relax.” 
The smile that Steve was giving you was comforting. You felt glad that he was the person to have picked you up.
The elevator made a little ding noise before the doors opened, and he guided you to your room. 
You made a beeline to the shower, not even taking the time to be impressed with the size of the hotel room, the amenities, or the quality of it. You just wanted to shed your clothes and find at least a moment of peace. 
You exited the bathroom after about a half an hour, and walked out into the suite in just a towel. 
“Can I borrow some more clothes?” you glanced over at Steve, who was openly checking you out from the comfort of the bed.
Wait, the bed.
There were way too many things going on for you to be focused on the fact that there was just one bed. Maybe Steve would offer to sleep on the sofa.
“Yeah, that’s fine. My teammate left some clothes in that smaller blue suitcase. It’ll probably fit,” Steve paused for a few moments as you found the aforementioned suitcase and looked for something comfortable that you could actually sleep in.
“Who did that to you?” he asked, gesturing at your bruised legs.
“I don’t… I don’t know. It’s all so blurry,” you sighed, settling on a fresh pair of sweatpants and a thin t-shirt. “I’ll be right back.”
You changed quickly in the residually steamy bathroom, and sat down at the foot of the bed. 
“Do we need to have a fistfight over who gets to sleep in the bed?” Steve joked and you shook your head.
“I can sleep on the sofa, if you want.”
“No way. You deserve something comfortable,” he got out of bed, and approached the bathroom to take his own shower. “Get nice and cozy, friend. You deserve it.”
He disappeared into the bathroom, and you moved up to the top of the bed, slipping under the covers and sighing aloud from relief. Your body was finally having a chance to relax, and the hotel bed was surprisingly comfortable. 
By the time Steve returned from the shower, you were already half asleep, and very unaware of your surroundings.
As you fell out of consciousness, you had blurry visions of confinement, punishments, and pain. You once again woke up with a gasp, but this time Steve was standing over you. 
“Deep breaths, okay? I saw you thrashing and mumbling something to yourself. I think you were having a bad dream.”
You nodded and panted, trying to catch your breath and slow down your hummingbird heart rate. 
“You’re safe, I promise.”
“Can you stay with me?” you stammered out.
“Yeah, of course,” Steve got into bed beside you, and rubbed your back as you curled into a fetal position, “just try to relax, okay? There isn’t anything to fear when I’m here with you.”
You nodded, clutching onto Steve’s genuine tone. Something about him just made you feel… safe, despite the possible red flags around him. 
After Steve got into bed with you, you were finally able to fall into a dreamless and peaceful sleep. 
——
You woke up to an empty and cold bed. You blinked a few times and looked around the room, eyes stopping on Steve as he watched you from the couch, eyes quickly flipping between yourself and the book in his hands in an effort to cover up his staring. 
The whole ordeal made you feel slightly off, but the realization that you were essentially mooching off a stranger felt worse. 
You hopped out of bed and anxiously paced towards the bathroom. “Shit, Steve,” you muttered. “I shouldn’t be taking advantage of you like this. I should probably leave.”
“Where else do you have to go?” Steve almost defensively questioned, frown deep on his face.
You took a deep sigh and shrugged, “I… don’t know. I’ll figure it out.”
“You don’t have to go,” he began, sounding unsure in his words, “stay. With me,” he stood up and walked over to you, grabbing the back of your arm softly. “You’re not taking advantage of me. If anything, you’re helping me. I get pretty lonely on these kinds of missions, so please, stay with me.”
You turned to look at Steve, the deep creases in his face at the thought of losing you. With just a glance, you knew that you couldn’t leave. 
——
The next few days of your life had proved your theory. It was almost alarming how quickly Steve became your anchor in the midst of a new, overwhelming world. 
The first thing that he did for you was tell you what your name was. As confused as you were to how exactly he figured it out, (he told you that he knew some weird tech guy. You were prepared to go with anything), you were grateful that Steve was able to help you out a piece of your old life back together.
He was oddly patient with you as you learned more and more about your surroundings. You were most impressed by the grocery store, and may or may not have spent hours inside of that food palace, spending much more of Steve’s money than was socially acceptable. 
For the next few months, you stayed at a safe house with Steve, spending the majority of your time looking down at your reflection in the lake in the backyard, wondering if your memories could ever come back.
You’d grown closer with Steve in that time as well, he was really the only person that you’d gotten close with since you’d lost your memories. Now that you were thinking about it, you hadn’t said more than three sentences to anyone else. By that measurement, your next closest friend was a gas station cashier.
In fact, you’d started dating Steve. Granted, you couldn’t completely wrap your mind around it all, despite the hours of rom-coms you’d watched while Steve was gone on missions. You just knew that you cared a lot about Steve. When he was around you, your heart fluttered. He was the only person you truly felt comfortable with. He protected you time after time, and voiced to you just how much he adored you. 
It made you feel wanted, to know that despite all of the confusion, you still had a place in this world, even if the place was just Steve Rogers’ heart. 
——
Steve arrived at the safe house late at night after nearly a week of being off on another mission. The bed creaked as he got into bed with you, and pressed up against your sleeping form. 
“Steve, sometimes I have these really awful dreams. Mostly when you’re not with me,” you began out of the blue as his arms snaked around you. “It’s always this faceless man just… abusing me. And I can’t even do anything about it because I’m too weak. And I can’t say anything because he stole my vocal cords. It sounds so silly, because it’s all just a dream, but it all feels so real. I just... I need you to promise me that you’ll protect me no matter what. Especially against him.”
“Of course,” he whispered against the back of your head, “I promise that I’ll protect you from him. He’ll never even get the chance to let the thought cross his mind.” 
“I love you, Steve,” you mumbled sleepily, “please never leave me again.”
He’d been waiting to hear those words.
——
Your fingers wrapped around a warm mug while Steve put the finishing touches on your breakfast. He’d decided to go all out that morning, with an impressive spread of food that would put most buffets to shame. For a moment, you questioned if you’d forgotten about some important holiday, or an anniversary.
Steve set a plate down in front of you, then pressed a soft peck to your forehead, “enjoy, sweetheart.”
You grinned softly down at the food, and at the affection, “what’s got you in such a good mood?”
“Just relieved to be back. I don’t like being away from you for too long,” he settled into the seat across from you, and took a sip of his own coffee.
“Mm, you sure? You’re not always this chipper post mission.”
Steve chuckled and shook his head just the slightest bit, “alright. You got me. I wanted to save it as a surprise, but I hate keeping secrets from you,” Steve paused.
“So… what’s the secret?” you pressed, bringing a forkful of food up to your mouth.
“I’m retiring.”
Your eyes widened as you heard the news, and you nearly choked, “are you really?”
Steve simply nodded, “I’m ready for the next chapter of my life with you.”
Your heart fluttered at the sweetness of his gesture, and the slightest hint of nerves. Why was Steve so willing to give up his entire livelihood for someone he knew for less than a year?
You felt bad for questioning his motives, considering that Steve had been nothing but good to you in the time that you knew him. If it wasn’t for him, you probably wouldn’t even be alive. He had proved himself to be an amazing, loving man, who had bent over backwards to keep you safe and comfortable. He trusted you, and it was time for you to do the same.
“I’ve been plotting this for a while, to be honest. You might think this is a little fast, but I even have a permanent place for us to stay.”
You couldn’t find it in you to be skeptical for much longer, your feelings of adoration for Steve overruling your hesitance to jump into something like that with him. 
You smiled softly as Steve spoke, getting up and pacing over to where he was seated so you could give him a hug, “I.. yes, that’s fast, but it’s also kinda amazing,” you sighed softly, burying your face into the crook of his neck. “When are we leaving?”
“Tonight, if that’s alright with you. I was thinking that we could spend the day packing up and… celebrating,” he winked down at you, and you looked up to shake your head fondly. 
“That sounds like a plan,” you gazed at him with adoration, and leaned up to press a soft peck to his lips that was lovingly reciprocated. 
——
Music pounded against your eardrums as you ground against a handsome stranger, one you couldn’t see, but instinctively knew. The smell of sweat, liquor, and sex filled your nose, the rancid combination oddly comforting in a retrospective moment. 
“We’re leaving!” A voice you hadn’t heard in what felt like years informed you. Your face broke into a wide grin when you heard her voice. “But it doesn’t look like you care!” she jeered. “Good luck!” your friend laughed, disappearing in the sea of people. 
“You’re coming home with me, right?” he asked, a hot breath against your cheek. 
You nodded. The words refused to come out. 
“Good,” he confirmed, pressing a kiss to your neck.
Out of the blue, you weren’t in the club, but in the small basement room from before, staring at nothing in particular while sat at the edge of your vanity’s seat.
“I’ve tried everything with you,” he commented, leaning against the doorway casually. You felt the need to apologize, to tell your captor that you didn’t mean to do what you did, that you loved him. Plead for him not to punish you. “After months of submission, I thought that we were finally getting somewhere. Why’d you have to throw it all away?” 
Glancing up at the vanity, a woman with sunken eyes, a pained expression, and fading bruises looked back at you, just long enough for you to briefly become that messy, drunken woman at the club once again. 
“I’ve tried everything with you. The easy way clearly didn’t work,” he continued, “you leave me with no other options, my love,” the man sighed, sitting down next to you casually. “I want you to know that I’m doing this for us. You know that nothing good ever comes easy, right?”
The syringe went into your arm like a hot knife through butter, and your muscles clenched as fire filled your body. You went to scream, but your throat was still out of commission. As you went down, your vision and thoughts began to blur before you couldn’t decipher one thing or another. The final noise you could make out was the distortedly slow rendition of It’s Been a Long, Long Time on the record player.
In an out-of-body moment, you watched as the man pulled your relaxed body down to the floor, cautiously pulling the clothes off of you and making you cringe internally at the sight of yourself in such a state. He left your body alone for a moment as he looked through the negligible amount of clothing in your closet, grabbing the same dress from the night at the club and pulling it on your limp figure.
It was torn and messy, not unlike the state it was in when you found yourself conscious. The faceless man muttered something unintelligible to himself before hoisting you up bridal style and taking your body out to the car. 
You watched in terror as this all played out, your slack face looking disturbingly at peace compared to how you’d appeared before. In fact, even in your ghastly state, you felt at peace. 
That peace quickly came to an end as you watched yourself get ditched on the side of the road, and as your body slowly began to twitch back to consciousness, your dream began to fade away.
——
You dragged your suitcase up through the garage, grateful to be at your final destination with the man you’d fallen in love with. You hoped that after moving in, the dreams might finally stop. After all, your dream in the car felt somewhat final. You were trying your best to be as positive as you could manage in such a strange situation, and from the outside, you had to admit that the house was gorgeous.
Stepping inside felt like the worst case of deja vu you’d ever experienced, as if your memories were repairing themself with every millisecond you were in the home, gazing at furniture you hadn’t seen in months, and smelling faint scents that you’d forgotten existed. Feature by feature, the puzzle pieces of the faceless man came together.
The longer you observed, the worse the feeling became. Waves of grief, fear, and pain were rolling over you again and again until you were completely drowning on it. The realization hit you with a ton of bricks: this was the house from your dreams.
Steve came up behind you, snapping you out of your panicked trance. He pressed a soft kiss to your cheek and squeezed you close to him.
“Ready for the first day of the rest of your life?”

Peter’s writing in Love Love Magazine; the entry was written in 2016
as Din lutes that sigh aloud... a little [blacked out] on my side, bright apparently you are in the crowd dim lutes that sight aloud sneered and revered by the coolyoungCrowd
A day of restless muscle straining sleep, sulking to the bathrooms harsh glare spitting in fistfuls of duvet, catching a back cracking clump of lust as the reeperbahn awakens outside, or whatever it does. The closed curta ins make time and place indistinguishable. Indistinct. Am slow to register my thoughts, am almost stagnant in summoning any sensation at all. Content is a foreign land, malcontent but a sh short train ride away. Discontent more or less across the canal. The ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ regional boundaries are blurred. It all seems to come under the historical region of melancholy. The sun at one time, never set on melancholia's ejpire. Frontiers of fug'd feeling and long unpatrolled desert highways linking the bandit infested hills (with dry stumps and frozen peaks) and the warm stretches of beach that rolls down to the calm and uncolonized ocean of quiet confidence. Quiet unannounced confidence. The typewriter, old and greyblue Olivettie is not so quiet.. Katia grabs for a pillow and covers her pretty cold-redden'd nose and whole head in order to drown out the machine and its vintage cacophony.
And this is the scene: I sit in white underwear, typing and listening for the bath not to overflow. Katia is asleep (?) with the pillow on her head. The room is white and cream and yes, Red.. with a huge peeling off poster of the venus de nilo combing her hair glued mostly to the ceiling directly above the two single beds put together to make it seem in photographs anyway that it's a double-sized affair. The lamps are not screwed down. Not even the large one. The circular mirrir is attached firmly though. The windows open properly, and onto the 24hr traffic of the Reeperbahn. Not entirely grim, but mostly a charmless sexploitative parade of dodgy rubber maids outfits, triple rabittip dildo's and whatever that shop – familiar to this Pigalle pedestrian (in assing I assert, although I shall investigate I'm sure) – offers by way of generic 'sex supermarket' fare... Ice is everywhere, and it is colder than I can remember Europe ever being. Colder than Switzerland here in Hamburg. Minus 10 someone said. Last night scoring was quick and pas painless as it can be on the street.

warnings: an extreme plot twist 😭, things escalate way too quickly, a bit of angst, this is so weird I’m sorry.
Tumblr media
“Welcome.”
You heard your coworker greet someone as you finished giving the final touches to the tattoo you’d been working on for a few weeks.
“Dang, Sungchan. You’re gonna look hella fine with this.” You wiped off the remains of ink over his skin, getting up from your little stool to admire your job from afar. “Wanna take a look?”
“Hell yeah.” The tall boy straightened his back, walking towards the full-body mirror to look at the daisies decorating his bicep. “My girlfriend’s gonna love it, thanks y/n.”
“No prob.” You covered the tattoo before biding him goodbye.
As you ordered your materials, you heard the doorbell ring. Assuming it was Sungchan leaving the shop, you didn’t pay much attention to it.
“Y/n, come here!” Your coworker and friend, Xiaojun, shouted from the front desk.
“Coming!”
As you exited the room, an innocent looking boy invaded your vision. A big, black hoodie shielded his body from the winter cold, making his body look tiny inside of it.
“He wants a tattoo.” He lifted his pierced eyebrows, as if the boy’s request was some sort of joke.
“Hi, I’m y/n.” You extended your hand, allowing him to shake it vigorously. “Do you have any idea of what you’d like to get done...?”
“Yangyang.” He completed your sentence, an oddly wide smile imprinted on his face. “I actually have a picture of what I want.” He pulled out his phone from his pocket, unlocking it to show you the image of a beautiful woman smiling.
“Are you sure about it? It’s gonna take a while to finish it and I’m sure it won’t be painless.”
He blinked a couple of times before giving you another wide smile.
“I’ll be alright.”
“So I’m booked for the rest of the week, but we can start next Monday if you’re available.” You murmured while taking a look at your agenda. “If you’d like, maybe we can book the rest of your appointments in advance. And you can also send me that image so I can get started on the sketch.”
“That’d be great.”
It wouldn’t be until the next week that you finally saw the languid boy again. He was wearing a black tank top with a leather jacket on top.
“Ready?” You asked while pulling out your gun, Yangyang getting comfortable in his seat. “You can pay now or when we finish, whatever feels best for you.”
“Thank you.” He removed the leather jacket covering his naked arms.
His limbs were slightly built up, but most surprisingly, filled with intricate ink designs. You couldn’t help the small gasp that escaped your mouth, your fingers unconsciously touching the patterns over his fair skin.
“This is amazing.”
He giggled at your excitement, curious eyes gazing at you. Suddenly, you snapped out of your daydreaming.
“Sorry.” You shook your head, pulling out a piece of paper from your desk. “Here’s the sketch, we can change it if you don’t like it.”
“This is perfect, you’re really talented.” His eyes scanned the detailed sketch, smiling back at the drawn woman.
“Thank you.” You rolled up your sleeves, your ink-filled arms on full display. “Let’s get started.”
You spent about an hour in complete silence, only the buzz of your machine filling the room. Yangyang seemed to be handling the pain just fine, which made your job much easier.
“How long have you been doing this?” He asked out of nowhere, trying to start a conversation.
“When I was seventeen maybe.” Your eyebrows were knitted together as you drew shadows over the woman’s eyes. “The guy at the front desk and I opened this shop after deciding neither of us were attending to college. Guess studying wasn’t really our thing.”
“What did your parents say about it?”
“You know, the usual, but they got used to it after a while. They even got a couple tattoo a few months ago.”
“It must be nice having supportive parents.”
“Yeah, it is.”
The room went silent once again. Xiaojun turned on some music, the beat faintly reaching your workspace.
“So who is this woman?”
“My mom. She died from cancer a year ago.” You weren’t expecting him to say something like that so abruptly. Before you could open your mouth, he was resuming his answer. “Please don’t say something like “I’m sorry”, why would you be? It’s not like you knew her.” There was irony in his tone, which made you quite confused.
“Well yeah, but it must be sad for you.”
“She lived her life well, and that’s all that matters.” You hummed. That was a nice way of seeing it. “She actually helped me out a lot when I hit rock bottom a few months after we found out about her disease, even when she was at her deathbed all she did worrying about others.”
‘Why is he telling me this?’
“She must’ve been one heck of a woman.” A breathy laugh erupted from him.
“She was.”
“Well, I think we’re done for today.”
Week after week, Yangyang came back to the shop. The tattoo was turning out amazing and you couldn’t be happier with the results. Yangyang and you grew closer after that small, deep talk during your first session together, even going as far as exchanging phone numbers.
A few late-night conversations later, you were having your first date, which was followed by three more, every single one of them unique in its own way. The last one had taken place at the amusement park, the Ferris wheel serving as the perfect spot to share the sweetest kiss you'd ever received. Maybe it wasn’t very professional of you, but who could resist such a charming guy?
“Hey, y/n.” He greeted you with a small peck on your cheek, his silly smile pressing against your skin. After a small pause, he proceeded to take a seat at his usual spot.
You’d decided to wear a small shirt since the weather was getting warmer. Yangyang’s eyes were uncomfortably glued to your lower abdomen, making your hands clumsy as you prepared your materials.
“You’ve got a scar there.” A pinkish line crossed the right side of your tummy. For a moment, you were scared he’d think it was gross, after all, it wasn’t precisely a small scar, nonetheless, you carried it with pride. You were surprised to see there was no disgust in his look, instead, something you couldn’t really name.
“Didn’t I tell you? I used to have chronic kidney disease. I would’ve died if it weren’t for the transplant I received.” His mouth twitched the slightest, as if he was about to cry. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah, sure, let’s continue with the tattoo.”
Halfway into your work, you felt a small drop of water staining your arm. It was Yangyang, he was desperately squeezing his eyes in an attempt to hold back the tears.
“Are you feeling any pain? I’ll try to be more careful, we’re almost done.” He shook his head. “What is it then, Yangyang?”
He pulled out his wallet, retrieving a pink card and placing it above your hand. As soon as you turned it around, you were met with a name you knew all too well, the name of the person who saved your life.
“How...?” Your words stopped as you realized that certain person and Yangyang shared their last name.
“I remembered your name from when my mom passed. One day, I googled you out of pure curiosity, what I didn’t expect was to actually find you, address and all.” A lonesome tear rolled down his cheek, staining his silver ring as it fell. “My mom would be glad to know her contribution is being used well.”
Your eyes watered at his words, giggling slightly at the odd turn things had taken.
“Thank you.” Your arms engulfed him in a bone-crushing hug. “Thank you so much.” Yanyang couldn't help but let more tears fall, he was finally getting the closure he needed. He could finally let his mom go.
Silently, he thanked his mom for having saved such a beautiful human as you, feeling as if her death hadn't been in vain.
“Crap.” You sniffled, nose adorably scrunching. “Alright, get up.”
You pushed him away from your body, grabbing your coat and swinging it above your shoulders.
“Huh?” Your hand was extended right in front of him, your pretty, pearly teeth on full display as you showed him the sweetest smile ever.
“I’m taking you out for ice cream.”

May The Odds Be Ever in Your Favor (Hoseok x Reader Hunger Games AU) Chapter 5: Let The Games Begin
Tumblr media
Summary - Living in District 4 you never thought you would have to worry about being selected for the Hunger Games. With a training centre right near the dock of the houseboat you lived and fished from, your district was known for volunteers who trained their whole lives for a shot at glory and riches. But at age 18, your name is called and no girls volunteer to take your place. Your devastation is answered when Kim Namjoon volunteers for the males shortly after. Tall, muscular, highly intelligent and charming, the years of diligent preparation have bestowed Namjoon with the expectation of being the next District 4 champion after Finnick Odair last won 3 years ago.
Fishing for a living has granted you skills with a knife but, as your mentor Finnick is quick to describe, your beautiful face may well be your best asset.
Upon arrival in the Capitol you are quickly faced with the reality that Namjoon may not even be the biggest danger inside the Arena. Especially when you capture the obsessive attention of District 2′s own volunteer, and killing machine, Jung Hoseok. Hope soon fades from ‘survival’ to ‘the mercy of a painless death’ but Hoseok certainly has other plans.
Pairing - Hoseok x (fem)Reader
Genre - thriller, angst, yandere
Word Count 6.2K
Warnings - From this chapter onward the characters are in a Hunger Games setting which will involve Graphic Depictions of Violence and Death, Major and minor character deaths (to state the obvious the most important deaths will be in the final chapter), there is also a planned dubcon scene - which will be marked for those who do not wish to read
Fight scenes will involve: knives, swords, bow and arrows, drowning, torture, and possibly others in the future.
PLEASE AVOID READING IF YOU CONSIDER THIS CONTENT UPSETTING
The following is a dark fic featuring a yandere character, violence, obsession, and coercion. By no means does writing about this in a fictional setting condone any of those behaviours, much like Stephen King writing horror doesn’t mean he approves of psychotic killers in reality. Please avoid reading if any of these warnings makes you uncomfortable.

From the second your name had been drawn at the reaping, everything since then had led to this moment. Standing in a sterile white tiled room where the only object inside was a tube that would send you into the arena. Of course, from the moment you entered, you had considered trying to fight your way out, but there were armed guards stationed by the doors. Not to mention the underground location would be impossible to escape from, with multiple doors requiring security passes to open. Earlier you had “jokingly” asked Finnick what the guards would do if a tribute tried to run. He had been upfront about the fact the guards were instructed to apprehend, but not kill, anyone that tried. Finnick told you about some stories he heard of kids that tried to escape before the games in the past, none had succeeded. All of them had been recaptured, injured severely in a way that could be covered (such as a shattered kneecap hidden under baggy pants), and then forced into the arena to die in the opening bloodbath. So, when the announcement came for all tributes to step inside their tubes, you reluctantly acquiesced without complaint.
The tube was horribly claustrophobic. It was soundproof so the only thing you could hear was the sound of your heartbeat in your ears and your heavy breathing echoing off the enclosed glass. For a moment you pressed your hand to the glass, one of the identical triplet stylists watching you from the outside much like a fish in a bowl, before the platform beneath your feet suddenly began to rise. You shrieked, adrenaline starting to rush through your veins, and you dropped to a crouch to try and keep your balance.
“Whatever you do, do NOT step off the platform before the countdown finishes,” Finnick had warned yourself and Namjoon during the train ride to the Capitol, his hands making a corresponding gesture of an explosion, complete with his own ‘pow’ sound affect.
You were terrified of over balancing on the moving platform and falling off to your death. You were also terrified of the opening bloodbath about to commence, the prospect of having to potentially kill someone, and the thought of Hoseok waiting for you in the arena. The more you began to think, as the platform kept rising, the more you wondered if stepping off to an immediate death might actually be the better option.
The roof of your tube opened and the light of the simulated sun was as blinding as staring into the real thing. You winced and lowered your head, taking in your first sights of the arena upon surfacing. You had submerged from the ground onto a platform surrounded by large wet rocks. The most eye-catching feature was a giant waterfall about a hundred yards ahead of you. The fall was awe inspiring, easily over fifty meters tall and crashing down into a pool below. The pool was surrounded by rocks, upon which yourself and the other tributes were standing, all equally distanced from the cornucopia at the edge. The rocks were sloped, water from the fall continuing to flow beyond the pool and downwards. There were gaps between the rocks were multiple rivers flowed rapidly downstream. Should a tribute slip and fall it could easily send them to their death before anyone could even start fighting.
You quickly turned your head to see who was beside you, noticing that tributes were not scattered by district order. To your left were only three, before a forest appeared at the edge of the rocks. There was an unfamiliar girl closest to you, Yoongi, and then a young boy you recognized as being from District 11. You didn’t remember his name but he was memorable enough due to his small size and being the youngest tribute. You turned to see who was at your right before a loud noise and sudden ringing in your left ear snapped your head straight back to the left.
Where a small trembling boy had been shaking just seconds ago, was now a sickening display of dismembered limbs, ruptured organs, and blood now mixing into the water. You didn’t know if he had slipped, or done it on purpose, but the boy had fallen off the platform. The vision itself was awful, but what truly made the scene sickening was the scent of burned flesh lingering from the explosion, causing you to gag.
“Tributes are instructed to remain on their platforms until the end of the countdown. Welcome to the 68th Annual Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor”
A robotic voice sounded from overhead – loud enough to be heard over the multiple screams of horror – as a lit 10 appeared on the sky above. Whatever consideration you had given to the thought of blowing yourself up had vanished upon seeing the grotesque reality.
9
You turned back to the right, partially to see who was close to you, but mostly to avoid the sight of 11’s scattered corpse, struggling not to vomit.
8
The boy from 12 was closest to you, his face pale with fright and tears freely falling from his wide shell-shocked eyes, as he outright sobbed.
7
You couldn’t blame him for crying, if anything you were surprised at the fact you hadn’t started doing so yourself. You could hear some of the other tributes were still screaming in fear and you felt a crippling weight in your stomach knowing that nearly all of them would soon be dead too.
6
On the other side of 12 you saw Hoseok, who was eerily calm amidst all of the panic. He stood tall; dressed in a form fitting shirt, cargo pants that cinched his narrow waist, and a pair of black boots. With his hair parted and swept to the side, displaying all the sharp angles of his facial features, he looked like he could have been a model from one of those Capitol billboards you had seen. But the reality was he was a trained killer, obsessed with you, and after the remaining 5 seconds your life was about to be in his hands.
You wondered if the Capitol had a hand in him being placed so close to you right from the beginning. If you really were Snow’s favorite, like Finnick believed, were they entrusting Hoseok to live up to his declarations from the interviews last night?
4
Upon noticing that you were looking in his direction, Hoseok locked in your eye contact. His rich dark brown irises held a magnanimous pull that kept your attention glued to him, instead of looking to see who else was further beyond him or examining the rest of the arena.
3
He tilted his head towards the direction of the cornucopia with an imploring raise of his brow, a clear indication of his intention to follow the career pack’s plan. You shakily nodded your confirmation in return.
2
‘I’ve got you,’ he mouthed slowly, pointing to himself and then to you with his words. Again, you just nodded in reply, not knowing what else to do.
1
The last second was felt like the longest moment of your life, caught in between the security of your raised platform and the imminent danger of your life being up for slaughter. How was it that your group’s plan was to run straight to the center of the chaos? Your survival depended on the promises of people you barely knew, who would eventually have to kill each other anyway. Your only other option would be the forest on the sidelines, with no survival skills, and a target on your head for being separated from the career pack.
A thunderous boom of a canon sounded in the sky to signal the commencement of the games and you took off immediately. Your environment in District 4, living by the sea, gave you an advantage in being able to navigate the slippery surface of the wet rocks. The combat boots the Capitol had provided you with fit your foot perfectly, were lightweight enough to easily move in, and had a solid grip on the sole.
The race to the center was over a surface of uneven rocks that had gaps in between, where rivers of water rushed through – some of which were multiple feet wide and far too big to jump over. You didn’t dare look to the sides, or behind you, to see what anybody else was doing. Your only focus was the cornucopia that came closer with every step. Items were scattered around, with their usefulness depending on the proximity to the cornucopia in the center. You were beginning to pass things like bundles of fruit or a small sack of nuts on the ground, but didn’t stop to consider them for a moment. If your alliance could secure the cornucopia then you would always be able to return for foodstuffs later, and if some other tributes snatched a few things before that then so be it.
This year the cornucopia took the shape of a large rock formation, some weapons were stashed along the bottom, with the more advanced tools up higher, which would require the tributes to have to climb for them. Your lungs were burning, and the rocky surface was now starting to become a lot more uneven, but you forced yourself to concentrate on your destination, which was so close you could almost touch it. You spotted a backpack on the ground; in front of a rock you would have to climb over. You quickly swiped it up and slung one strap over your shoulder, continuing to move forward as you did. You awkwardly shoved your arm through the other strap as you came to a stop in front of a bigger rock. It wasn’t too large, just above your hips, but wasn’t something you would be able to just leap over like some of the others.
You placed your palms on the top of the surface and prepared to lift you weight over, when suddenly you were hit by a colliding weight in your back. You released a sharp cry, a combination of the surprise along with the sharp bruising pain from your hips being slammed into the rock. You didn’t know what had hit you, but it had caused your eyes to catch the glimmer of a knife’s edge that was hidden in a crack. You hurriedly snatched it by the handle, and turned around to face a terrified District 12.
The poor boy was ass down on the wet ground and staring up at you with pure fear in his eyes. You deduced that he had slipped into you by accident on his race to try and reach the weapons before the careers. He was essentially defenseless whilst you now held a knife, the weapon of your expertise, in your grasp. It would be so easy for you to just toss the blade straight between his eyes. After all he had been trying to get to the same weapons in an attempt to kill you. It would just be self-defense wouldn’t it? So why couldn’t you bring yourself to throw it? You knew you were wasting precious seconds, that every moment you stood there with the knife in your grasp, back to the rock and cornucopia behind it, you were essentially making yourself more vulnerable to other attacks. But you just couldn’t bring yourself to end the life of a terrified child. He couldn’t have been any older than fourteen, the pants and jacket the Capitol had dressed him in hung loosely on his underdeveloped frame.
There was something unfair about being eighteen and an adult, but still having to compete in a game with other children. How could you kill a kid? But really you were still just a kid too? Why did you have to die? Why did anyone here?
Your moral crisis was interrupted by a hissing whizzzz beside your left ear and the sight of an arrow embedding itself straight into the eye of 12. He was dead before his body could fully hit the ground.
“YN!” a sharp voice barked from behind you, and you turned to see Hoseok standing on one of the higher points of the cornucopia with a bow in his grip and a quiver full of arrows over his shoulder.
“JUST STAY THERE!” He yelled, before turning to his side and launching an arrow point blank into the forehead of a girl that had started to try and climb for a sword.
You flinched at his second cold blooded kill in less than a minute; clearly, he was not facing the same internal struggle that you were. By now the other tributes (who hadn’t run in the opposite direction at the start) had realized the highest ranked prospect had landed himself a long-range weapon and were starting to scatter in fright, scrambling to pick up any items they could as they made a mad dash over the rocks for the forest. Hoseok showed anyone within his range no mercy, launching another arrow into the back of a young girl, before narrowly missing another target that had been smart enough to zig zag.
You spotted that Krystal, Athena, and Yoongi had found each other and were working at the base to start gathering things they thought they would need, each holding a weapon as they did so, and constantly looking over their shoulders. You also saw that Namjoon had scaled the side of the cornucopia for the sword Hoseok’s victim had tried for. He was now jumping back down with his sight set on a girl at the cornucopia’s edge trying to carry a flint, bat, and a bag of fruit. You quickly looked down – not wanting to witness the slaughter – but you could still hear her petrified scream and the sound of the blade sinking into her flesh.
“YN LOOK OUT!”
You made the mistake of turning towards Krystal’s voice – shouting in warning – instead of the direction of the male tribute from 7 as he tackled you from behind. Unlike the younger kid from 12, 7 was older, larger and his collision into your body was no accident. Though you had been caught off guard you still managed to maintain your grip on your knife as he wrestled you both off of the rocky surface and into the raging rivers below. You sucked in a deep breath before being pulled underwater. The fact 7 had opted for the water strongly indicated that he didn’t have a weapon himself, and didn’t seem to think you had one either. He had dragged you under by a grip around your neck, but he was struggling to hold it, whilst also trying to swim. The water was deeper than your height, something he probably wasn’t expecting, as the currents pushed both of your bodies downstream. His hold was painful and being held underwater was causing your survival instincts to go into overdrive. There was no sense of hesitation when you started jabbing your knife backwards, trying to get him to break his grip.
You could barely hear his gargled grunts above the rushing water besides yours ears, but when one jab landed so deeply that the knife didn’t come back out, he finally broke his hold with a scream. Twisting in the water, you kicked wildly to separate you further, launching your foot off his gut and propelling your body back to the surface.
You gasped for air, coughing out some of the water that had gone up your nose, as you allowed the water to carry you further down the river. Behind you, you could hear 7’s shouting – a combination of pain from the stab wound and frustration at his failed kill. Moving with the current, you swam with the river, kicking your legs behind your body and moving your arms in a freestyle to put even more distance between the two of you. Ahead, the river began to slow in pace, with a rock at the side sticking out that would allow you to grab on to. You adjusted your stroke and managed to catch it pretty easily, pulling your body out of the water.
For a moment you laid on your side, just trying to get your breath back and spitting out any water you had accidentally swallowed. You were grateful – from what you could taste – that the water seemed to be fresh, rather than salt, giving you a drinking source. Not wanting to risk being so exposed in the open for much longer, you pulled yourself up onto all fours. You looked around to see just how far you had fallen and realized you were now further away from the cornucopia than when the games had started. You could still see it, along with Hoseok and Krystal who had been trying to run along the rocks to help – but the currents had been much faster. They were both around a hundred yards away, looking quite small in your eye, until you spotted a third figure. At first you thought it could have been one of the other careers, before realizing that it was Hoseok pulling the boy from 7 out of the river. He must’ve caught onto a rock earlier than you had. Krystal saw you and waved to ask if you were ok – but your eyes were glued to Hoseok as he lugged 7’s body completely from the water as the latter struggled. You could see multiple stab wounds that you had inflicted across 7’s legs and torso, most of them looked like superficial cuts except for the knife that was sticking out of his thigh.
Wondering why you weren’t responding; Krystal turned her attention to your eyeline to watch as Hoseok grabbed a hold of the knife’s handle and twisted the blade in further – causing 7 to let out an agonized scream. You felt your bones chill at the sound, you had been trying to hurt him out of self-preservation but Hoseok was doing this for his own enjoyment. Like a car crash in slow motion you couldn’t look away as Hoseok ripped the blade out by dragging it all the way down to 7s knee, as 7 begged him to stop in strangled screams. But he didn’t listen, instead Hoseok’s long fingers – the same fingers that had held your face in his hands whilst professing his feelings for you – wrapped around his wounded leg to squeeze painfully, earning another pained scream.
The sight was making you sick and you couldn’t take it, hunching forwards you vomited up what little was in your stomach. Krystal, who had previously resumed climbing in your direction had also stopped – feeling paralyzed by the sound. It was like the entire arena had fallen into a stunned silence, as the sound of 7’s screams carried over the rapids and into the trees. Athena, Yoongi and Namjoon had stopped what they were doing on the cornucopia and even the other tributes in the forest momentarily paused at the sound of the noise. Everyone had known to expect death and violence, but this was going beyond into the realm of torture.
“You thought you could take her away from me?” Hoseok seethed, releasing his grip to stand back up to his full height.
7 writhed on the ground, his face scrunched in pain, and it was all he could do to beg.
“I’m sorry,” he sputtered, coughing up blood from the stab wounds in his torso you had inflicted earlier.
7 knew there was no way he could survive anymore. Even if by some miracle someone else could take out 2, there was no way he would be able to find shelter or food. His fate had been sealed.
“Sorry?” Hoseok spat, turning the knife in his hand.
“No, you’re not sorry now. But you will be”
From your position, you couldn’t hear their conversation, but you didn’t need to. You scrambled to your feet and dashed over the last few rocks towards the forest edge, trying to focus on the sound of your feet sloshing against the water of the river bank to drown out 7’s next round of screams.
***
It was customary to wait until the opening bloodbath had finished before sounding the canons that represented the loss of a tribute’s life. After Hoseok finally finished exacting his vengeance on 7, the game makers decided the opening round was over, firing seven canons into the air – the faces and districts of the lost tributes would be revealed later in the evening. Ripping the blade out of 7’s corpse Hoseok turned around, looking for Krystal who had been responsible for tracking you as he took care of 7. He was livid to see her back at the cornucopia without you. He wiped the blood off the knife with his shirt, before slipping it through a belt loop of his pants.
“Where is she?”
Hoseok demanded to know as soon as he rejoined the others, who were standing together at the base of the cornucopia, surrounding a pile of the best supplies they had gathered.
His eyes were narrowed in Krystal’s direction given she was supposedly the one meant to find you. She flinched, after having just witnessed his assault on 7 she wasn’t exactly keen to tell him something he wouldn’t want to hear. Sensing his sister’s discomfort, Yoongi protectively stepped partially in front of her, brandishing the axe he had claimed as his weapon.
“She’s ok,” Krystal began, and Hoseok’s pinched frown eased slightly, although he still looked angry.
“I saw her pull herself up onto a rock near the shore, further down from where you were.”
“So why didn’t you go and get her?”
“Because she saw you. YN saw what you were doing to 7 and she was terrified. She ran into the forest before I could reach her.”
Hoseok exhaled sharply, as he ran his fingers through his hair. He was pissed at Krystal for just letting her go, but he couldn’t take it out on her in front of the alliance. He was also pissed at you for running away. He had done everything that he had to 7 for you, why didn’t you see that? You should be grateful he was inflicting revenge against anyone that dared to hurt you, not hiding from him.
“I have an idea,” Namjoon spoke up, his body weight casually leaning against his sword.
“A lot of fucking help you were. Aren’t you supposed to be in love with her?” Hoseok snapped in his direction.
“You and Krystal were both closer to her than I was when she fell, there was nothing I could have done. You’re the one that let her get away because you chose to torture that boy instead of going after her,” Namjoon coolly replied.
“Anyway, your plan is?” Athena butted in, growing really tired of the arguing about you. As far as she was concerned it was your choice to run off, she didn’t come here to play babysitter.
“We take the best supplies and set up camp on top of the waterfall. We can’t camp here because it’s too wet, there’s nowhere to sleep or make a fire on this rock. We’d also be way too exposed out here in the open. If we get to the top of the cliff, we can find solid ground and also have a vantage point of watching the rest of the arena below us. Those of us with a long-range weapon,” he paused to look at Hoseok, “can keep an eye on the cornucopia from above and shoot down anyone who tries to come back here for the other supplies.”
“What about YN?”
Hoseok was surprised Krystal asked the question before he could.
Meanwhile Athena rolled her eyes at the side. ‘YN, YN, YN, YN this, YN that, Where’s YN? Why was half the alliance so preoccupied by one member? She's not even that special anyway’ But she kept her thoughts to herself, especially after having just witnessed Hoseok’s attack.
“It’s too dangerous to try and follow her into the forest right now. We don’t know which direction she ran and there’s the risk of coming across other tributes instead. I don’t want to just leave her either, but I think we might have a chance of spotting her from up there using a higher vantage point.”
“It’s getting close to the middle of the afternoon,” Yoongi spoke up for the first time. “Any time spent looking for YN is less time spent setting up a camp, and we don’t know what’s going to happen later at night.”
“What if it was me that was missing? Wouldn’t you try to find me?” Krystal frowned at her brother.
“You’re my sister, that’s different. And she’s not ‘missing’ she chose to run away. I’m not letting you risk your life over something that was her decision. You’re setting up the camp with me.”
“I’m going with you too,” Athena agreed, internally cheering over the fact that finally someone else was talking sense.
Namjoon nodded at the three before turning back to Hoseok.
“You can try and find her now, and risk going out there alone, where any group of tributes would be willing to team up together to take you down after what you just did to 7. Or you can come with us, build our camp tonight, and tomorrow we can search together.”
Hoseok raised his brow in Namjoon’s direction. It wasn’t the first time that they had argued over you, and he knew this sure as hell wasn’t going to be the last. Hoseok wanted nothing more than to leave the others and set off into the forest trying to find you, but Namjoon was unfortunately right. He was already the biggest threat based on his performance score, torturing another tribute would only serve to make him an even bigger target for the others. Going into the forest without someone watching his back was practically suicide. He didn’t trust Namjoon to watch out for him as far as he could throw him, but if they went into the forest together it would at least provide another distraction.
So, reluctantly, he agreed.
***
After running into the forest, you changed direction to run along the side of the river, back towards the direction of the cornucopia, whilst staying hidden behind the trees. Your logic was that if the careers were to try and chase after you, they hopefully wouldn’t be expecting you to be running towards them. You also chose to stay close to the river because you figured a majority of the tributes that had ran away would be further inland. And in the case another tribute tried to attack you, you had already survived fighting someone in the water – it was by far your preferred element compared to the woods. Secondly if you were fighting and could get back out in the open, you knew that Hoseok would instantly come running. You supposed there was some kind of irony in running away from a psychotic killer, whilst simultaneously expecting him to save your life if someone else endangered it. Maybe you would have been able to laugh if it wasn’t so sickening.
When you were close enough that you could start to hear the sounds of the career’s voices, you stopped. Ducking down behind a bush, with another tree at your back for cover, you peered through the leaves and watched them gathering items. Hoseok seemed to be the most reluctant and was continuously looking over his shoulder in the direction you had fallen downstream, as if expecting to see you walking back. It wasn’t hard to figure out that they were planning to move. You couldn’t blame them, after all the cornucopia was far too wet to set up camp on.
Exhausted from the earlier fight, and running through the trees, you slumped back against the tree behind you, feeling the bag on your shoulder collide with the bark. You startled. You had been so distracted you hadn’t even realized that you were still wearing a backpack, you were surprised it hadn’t fallen off in the fight. You pulled it from your shoulders, eager to see what was inside. You had picked the bag up on the cornucopia’s outskirts so you weren’t expecting much, but you could still feel a few items inside. Pulling at the zip you opened it up to reveal a bottle of water, a ruined flint, and a rope. You sighed, disappointed that there wasn’t a weapon but at least grateful to have something. Given you had thrown up before, along with the additional running after, you were dying of thirst. Uncapping the bottle, you took a long swig before twisting the lid back on. Even though the river water was drinkable you wanted to save your bottle as long as possible to avoid going out into the open.
You stayed in your little hiding spot for the rest of the afternoon. Cautiously you watched the career pack gather their supplies, and when they made their way towards the forest you felt your heart rate skyrocket. But thankfully they walked in the opposite direction, towards the waterfall. The careers were the only tributes you saw for the rest of the day.
As the sky began to change color in the evening, so did the temperature begin to change as well. For the most part it had been quite warm during the day. The Capitol had dressed you in a pair of khaki cargo pants, brown boots, a dark grey T-shirt and a brown bomber jacket. Despite being crouched behind a bush, it had been warm enough for your clothes to have mostly dried off during the rest of the day. You had taken off your bomber jacket and hung it over your head for camouflage, which had allowed it to dry completely. But as the temperature rapidly began to fall, you were quick to pull it back over your body, zipping it up all the way to the neck. The temperature continued to drop and you soon found yourself shivering as your breath became a visible cloud every time you exhaled. This had to be a twist from the game makers.
You vaguely remembered someone telling you before that hot air rises. You looked at your surroundings, as your body began to shiver from the still dropping temperatures. Not only was your breath becoming more visible with every exhale but it looked like the air was now holding a misty quality. Looking upwards it didn’t seem to be so dense and there were plenty of large trees with sturdy branches around you. You were definitely terrified at the prospect of snakes, bugs and other lethal animals in the trees, however there were bound to be other dangerous species on the ground too. With no way to make a fire, if you stayed where you were it was very possible you could freeze to death before the night’s end.
Climbing a ship, compared to a tree, was incredibly different. Most boats had railings and were much easier to scale. But you found that the leg and upper body strength you had built from a life of hard labor came in handy. You were agile and found yourself capable of pulling your body weight up onto the branches that were above you. You refused to look down the higher you climbed, knowing there was no water below you to break your fall if you lost your balance. There was no point in psyching yourself out; if you fall, you die. If you don’t climb, you die. The only choice left was to keep climbing. When you reached a height where the branch above you began to dip when you applied your body weight to it, you stopped. Still refusing to look down, you sat onto the branch you were currently on, gripping the wood in between your thighs tightly for security. You removed the strap of your bag from one arm and shrugged the pack over your shoulders. Unzipping it at the top you reached inside to remove the rope, before zipping it back up again.
The first thing you did was secure the rope around your waist, looping it twice before securing your makeshift belt in a fisherman’s knot. The trunk of the tree was too wide to reach around with your arms so would have to tie yourself to the branch instead, which would mean looking down. Very carefully you leaned forward to lower your chest to the branch, exhaling shakily as you caught a glimpse of exactly how high up you were for the first time.
Instead of being able to see the floor, all you were met with was the sight of a frosty grey cloud that was covering the entire arena along the lower ground, it was surreal. Not wanting to be facing downwards for any longer, you worked as quickly as possible to loop the rope around your branch four times before securing it with another knot. Relieved that you now had some security, you sat back up to lean against the branch. It would have to be an uncomfortable sleep, but it was better than nothing.
Although you were no longer in the freezing zone, you still found yourself shuddering from the cold. You bundled yourself up into a ball, pulling your knees to your chest and wrapping your arms underneath your legs. Suddenly the Panem anthem began to play and a holograph appeared in the sky. Given the fog there was also a vocal announcement of the tributes who had died, along with the usual pictures being displayed. As you watched the montage of the fallen tributes, you noticed a balloon floating towards you. At first you panicked, thinking it was a bomb or some sort of game maker twist, until you saw the basket with a bundle inside. It was a sponsored gift.
You sat up a little straighter and cautiously reached out to the balloon as it stopped to hover in front of your face. The item was soft and light, as you picked it up feeling confused. The material was too soft to be clothing. Placing it upon your lap you realized that it was a folded camouflage blanket, being held together by a ribbon with a card sticking out. You pulled the card out, flicking it over to read who it was from.
To our darling dove, Stay safe and warm Love always, YN-United.
You had a fan club? Was this a normal thing in the games? You wondered if any of the other tributes had fan clubs too. This definitely wasn’t a common thing within District 4, as you had never heard of civilians pooling resources to be able to donate for your own tributes, so it had to be a Capitol thing.
You were surprised, but not complaining as you undid the ribbon and began to unfold the blanket. It turned out the blanket wasn’t the only gift, as wrapped inside was a stunning ornate knife. You gasped, picking it up to hold in front of your eyes. The handle was white gold and decorated with patterns of flowers and vines, with tiny doves along the base. A ring of diamonds surrounded the top of the handle with a fat diamond attached at the bottom. You felt your eyes watering at how elaborate and expensive the knife had to be. Removing the sheath, your jaw fell open at the sight of the blade. You had never seen a material like it before; it was like an opal had mixed with glass. Stunning colors swirled through the blade, which was opaque enough to partially see through. It disturbed you to think that the people who had gifted you with such a beautiful item wanted you to kill with this thing.
Feeling overwhelmed you returned the sheath over the blade and put the knife down your jacket. The rope around your waist would prevent it falling out from the bottom and you tightened the chords around your neck to make sure it wouldn’t fall out from the top if you leaned forward.
Keeping your knees close to your chest you pulled the blanket over your body, sighing at the instant feeling of warmth the added layer provided. You were still far from comfortable, sitting upright on a tree, but at least you weren’t freezing anymore. By now the sun had completely set and the temperature along with it. You were safe for the moment, but you wondered how the people on the ground were going to cope in the subzero conditions. The only way you could imagine surviving would be through climbing a tree like you had, sharing body warmth with another tribute, or making a fire. Soon you began to start smelling smoke in the air, a clear indication that multiple fires were burning. But fires were dangerous.
***
Across the other side of the river a boy from 3 had set up a fire in desperation. He knew it wasn’t smart to make it obvious where he was, but if he didn’t create a heat source soon he was going to die soon anyway. He could only pray that the other tributes were too distracted trying to avoid freezing themselves to think about hunting others down. Unfortunately for him his prayers went unanswered. The last thing he felt before a canon boomed in his honor, was a blade across his neck as someone slit his throat from behind.

pairing. suna rintarou x gn!reader 
genre / trope.  implications of death, i honestly don’t even know what genre this would be — kinda angst? kinda fluff?
word count. 1.05k
track. as the world caves in ( matt maltese ) & sea, swallow me ( cocteau twins )
[ i have such a love hate relationship w this piece — reblogs greatly appreciated! ]
Tumblr media
suna rintarou couldn’t have asked for anything better.
if you would have told him he’d be spending a night alone with you two years ago, he would have laughed it off with a discreet blush on his face. but here he was, pressed up shoulder to shoulder against you under the most magnificent night sky he’d ever be able to see.
still, the splatter of white on the vast navy sky could never surpass how beautiful you looked next to him.
the illuminated light of the twinkling stars just barely casted light on your content expression, but it was enough to make you look like you were basking in pure moonlight. not too bright like the sun, but not dark enough to blend into the shadows, just what he liked. he’d watch as your face lit up at each soaring streak in the night sky, captivated by the number of meteors revealing themselves just in that one night. suna wished he could have been paying attention to the sight unfolding in front of him, but every time he’d try to watch the universe’s show, he’d always find his eyes trailing back to you.
“you’re staring.”
“that’s kind of the point, right?” he retorted as your head remained looking forward. even now, when there was nothing to look forward to, you still continued to march ahead with confidence. suna wasn’t like you in that way, maybe that was why he had been left behind, why he had to watch you walk away in more ways than one.
you were still next to him as his best friend, you had promised him that the night he had broken down in fear that you would leave him. it was better than not having you at all.
“yeah, but you’re staring at me, rinnie.” you finally tilted your head to meet his yellow, lidded eyes with a gentle smile. “should we start now? it’s getting late.”
11:32pm. neither of you were allowed to determine what’s late and what isn’t at this point in the year. for all he knew, you both could have just been sitting there for an extra forty minutes with an awkward silence. but with the number of meteors and asteroids making their appearance in the battle of the heavens at that moment, he knew you were right.
suna and you agreed to make this day the day to spill all of your secrets and regrets, to mutter them into the atmosphere and let go. there were so many unanswered question that he had been starving the solve, so when you offered the idea, he had to mask his excitement and nervousness with a suave ‘sure.’
you took a deep breath as you averted your gaze to the collapsing empyrean again, drinking in the smell of armageddon and sea salt. “if i had a chance to, i would redo everything in my life.” the boy’s cat like eyes were glued onto you more than ever, attracted to your words or your face at that moment? he didn’t know. “i went too fast. if i could do it all over again, i would’ve slowed down so i could do it all with you.”
suna swore he’s never wanted to kiss you as much as he did at that moment, adoration seeping from his stare locked onto your figure. the ocean’s breeze tumbled your hair wildly, he could tell you were getting tense with guilt, and you had dark bags under your eyes, but you’ve never looked so perfect either.
stressing out your parents too much, not trying hard enough in school, sweating the small stuff, and letting people go without a fight were one of the many things that weighed you down from the beginning. what caught his attention was that you regretted to be with the older miya twin; you said you wished you could have found your other half, and suna probably knew that feeling more than you did.
with each regret ticked off the list, suna noticed your shoulders began to relax as the baggage of fear that plagued your mind was unpacked and released. he felt lucky enough to be the boy you were admitting them to. unfortunately, it was his turn to confess.
not giving his all in volleyball, wishing to have the courage to express his feelings easier, worrying too much about his image, leaving his goals unaccomplished, all the minor things he could have gone without divulging. 
“you’re holding back on me, rin.” your bottom lip was jutted out in a pout, eliciting a breathy chuckle from suna. he hated that you could figure him out so easily. “c’mon! you know i won’t judge you.”
the truth was, he wasn’t afraid of being judged. he just wasn’t ready. but what was he so afraid of? why was he so uneasy about telling you the thing he’d been meaning to say since he realized he loved you that day on the swingset in middle school? he knew he was a procrastinator, but he was staring right in the eyes of the deadline, and he still couldn’t bring himself to tell you.
the sky’s blue and black was starting to brighten, and he didn’t know whether that was a good thing for playing as a distraction. both of you quickly took notice to this, and he felt yourself push further against him, instinctively wrapping an arm around your small frame. he was out of time.
huddled under the thin blanket with you, sand flowing between your toes with the gentle crashing of waves, almost like a lullaby to the end, and suna still couldn’t have asked for anything more. you tucked your face to his chest, his hand wrapping around and placing itself on the side of your head in a protective manner as the brightness became too overwhelming.
“i’ll tell you when we see each other again.”
he felt you nod against his body, and with that he braced for that painless feeling of the world crashing above him; they had lost. it was common knowledge that it was inevitable, but suna was lucky to have you in his arms as he was swallowed into the void — and he doubted that you heard the three little words he whispered underneath the sound of the earth as they knew it crumbled.

Masterlists shameless self promotion lmao
T Rating (uhhhh i think hurt/comfort? primarily? idk man)
Ayna x MC (Kennedy, they/them)
~2k words unedited but thats nothing new now is it?
-
Ayna’s fingers fasten a necklace clasp behind her neck, every movement careful and precise as she readies herself. They move to her hair, fixing it for the nth time, just to assure it’s perfect.
It has to be perfect, all of it. Every hair, every pore, every fine detail - it’s all been carefully thought through for weeks now, for this one specific date.
Valentine’s Day.
The end all be all, at least this year. She’s never given it much thought before, but she’s never really had a reason to. Until this year. Until this crazy, wild, borderline disastrous year. Until the day Kennedy stumbled into her class, all smiles and longing looks.
Until she spent days looking forward to coffee house meetups, until short texts could make her whole day, until every class was an excuse to share a small smile. And, unfortunately, until those meetups were forced to end, until those texts stopped coming, until class was just a reminder that even smiles were dangerous.
But not today. She had a plan today, a foolproof, perfect plan. No planned meetups, no trackable texts, nothing too out in the open. And she’d be damned if it failed.
She turns from the hanging mirror, shrugging on a jacket and tugging on a nice pair of shoes before straightening. Her reflection stares back at her, carefully done makeup and slightly askew glasses. She quickly adjusts them, tucking back one last strand of hair.
With one last glimpse at herself, she grabs the bouquet of roses she picked out earlier in the day, bright red petals resting on her table. And with that she leaves, exiting her building and venturing onto Vancross campus.
She eventually steps out onto one of the many winding paths leading through the school’s grounds, carefully making her way to the expansive library settled in one corner of campus. It’s familiar warmth shines through the windows, yellow lights on even in the darkening night for cramming and over enthusiastic students.
Ayna’s fingers tighten over the door’s handle, tugging it open as a small, excited grin overtakes her lips. She steps inside, flowers poised in her hands regardless of how cheesy they may be, and scans for
They’re with her. Sitting with her, talking with her, laughing with her. They’ve been doing everything with her, and today’s no different. Today’s not special, not exempt, not reserved for Ayna.
Huddled close at a table, books spread before the pair as they whisper, heads so close. Arms touching, smiles wide, chairs so close. They’re so close, that’s all Ayna can think about as she simply stands there, all her previous excitement evaporating from her body.
And they don’t even notice her. Kennedy’s gaze doesn’t flicker in her direction in the way it always does. Their cheeks don’t flush when they’re caught like they always do in the lecture hall. Their hands don’t fidget with barely contained nerves, atop the table, a pen twirling between anxious fingers.
Their gaze is glued to Evelyn’s features, their cheeks dust in a blush from her words, their hands are relaxed as they lean against her shoulder. They don’t even notice Ayna.
She turns on her heel, quickly rushing out the library’s front doors and into the dusk settled around campus. Her heels clack with some strange anger, some swirling in the pit of her gut as her fist clenches, crushing the bouquet she spent so long picking out.
And all for naught. This is all for naught, that’s the worst part. The outfit, the shoes, the hair and makeup - all for absolutely nothing.
She stalks to a trash can resting beside the pavement, glaring down at it with pale knuckles and a furrow in her brow. She breaks, like a glass hitting concrete. She breaks, stuffing the ridiculous flowers into the bin over and over again, until she’s just needlessly exerting herself, needlessly scratching herself on discarded thorns.
Little nicks on her skin, tiny imperfections to ruin it all. A visual of her failings, a marking to remind her of this disastrous night. A brand forged without fire, one that’ll remain in the morning, even after she’s washed off the rest of tonight. Even when the mascara and curls and jacket are discarded in the next few hours, the cuts will stay, at least for a few days.
She breaks once more, from the trash bin as an angry and hurt tear slips down her cheek. A crumpled fist hurriedly wipes it away, before she’s stamping down the paved path once more, shoulders tight and expression pinched.
“Hey! Ayna!” a voice rings behind her, out of breath as quick footsteps draw closer and closer. “Hey,” a hand softly grasps her sleeve, a smiling face slipping into her line of sight.
“Hey,” she mumbles back, her gaze trained on the pavement beneath her feet, feet that haven’t once halted.
Kennedy slows by her side, falling into step with her easily. “Tatum said he saw you come into the library then leave, what’s up?”
Ayna’s shoulders lift in a halfhearted shrug, slumping with an exhale. “Nothing.”
“You sure? You seem kinda… distant.”
“I’m fine.”
“Well, okay,” Kennedy relents, head swiveling as they search for something to occupy her attention. “Um, happy Valentine’s!” Their hands clap together excitedly, expression alight with a beaming smile. “I wanted to call you or something earlier, but Winston was hovering over me all day and I don’t know… You’re usually busy this time of night and I didn’t want to bother you.”
Ayna shrugs again, her hands fisted in her pockets. “I’m not busy.”
“Really? Then let’s do something!”
Her gaze snaps up, shock sparking throughout her mind. “What?” she blanks, stopping in her tracks to further scrutinise Kennedy.
“Yeah!” Kennedy’s grin is brilliant, even in the low light, before they glance about the quad. Their hands slip into Ayna’s, fingers tangling with hers, before they’re tugging her along, away from the light posts and travelled paths.
She’s led past the bushes, to a secluded bench, empty branches hanging above it, stretching from a large tree. A soft breeze stirs them, whistling through the leafless wood.
“Okay,” Kennedy starts, sucking in a deep breath. “So I know this is super late, and I don’t really know how to go about this, but…” they meet her eyes, hope glimmering within, “would you, Ayna Seth, do me the honour of being my Valentine?”
She blinks. Not a single other muscle moves, her breath halts in her lungs, her brain malfunctions entirely, and the only thing she can do is blink. Again. And again.
“...Ayna?” Kennedy squeezes her hands where they still rest in theirs.
“You really… Really?”
“Yeah, of course. I’ve been trying to find a good time for ages, so I figured… Are you bleeding?”
“What?”
“You’re bleeding! Your hands!” they grip her forearm, tugging her down to the bench, where they carefully cradle her hands in their lap. Their fingers hover over her skin, not sure what to do as they send uneasy glances up to Ayna’s eyes.
She inspects the scratches now, all of them shallow and mostly painless. “It’s just a few cuts,” she mumbles, Kennedy’s panicked gaze quieting her.
“What happened?” they whisper, as if worried the volume of their voice could inflict further damage.
“I, um -” Ayna steals her hands back, folding them in her lap to hide them. “The flowers,” she worries her bottom lip between her teeth, “They had thorns.”
“You should be more careful.”
“Okay,” she nods, still biting her lip.
“Are you sure you’re alright?”
“You’ve been wanting to ask me out?” They speak at the same time, concern brimming in Kennedy’s eyes and disbelief in Ayna’s.
A grin quirks Kennedy’s lips as they settle against the bench, arm draped over the back. “I asked first.”
“Barely,” Ayna chuckles lighty.
“Still got there first.”
Ayna shakes her head in exasperation, a fond smile lifting her lips. Before it all falls away, replaced by a crease between her brows. “I, um,” she shifts in her seat awkwardly, struggling for the words. “I don’t think I’m as comfortable with the fake relationship as I thought I was…”
“Okay,” Kennedy answers quickly, easily.
“What?” she balks, jaw working for words. “Are you sure?” is all she manages.
“Of course,” they chime, just as quickly, as easily. “If you’re jealous or uncomfortable, I’ll do whatever I can to put a stop to it.”
Ayna’s jaw snaps shut, a frown curving her mouth, “I’m not jealous.”
“Oh really?” Kennedy’s voice hums, a teasing lilt to it.
“I’m not,” Ayna’s frown deepens.
“Okay…” they hum again, leaning closer as their voice lowers. “So you’d have no problem with me, say, asking out Evelyn for real?” Their eyebrow raises, head cocking to the side. “Or what about Blaine? Maybe Zaira…?” they tap their chin thoughtfully.
Ayna starts, “Don’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Because…” her voice tapers off, replaced by the bouncing of her leg and the picking of a nail.
“You’re jealous?” Kennedy supplies with an amused smile.
Ayna deflates, sighing heavily, “Yes. I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“Being… jealous,” she almost spits the word, distaste heavy on her tongue and sloshing in her stomach.
Kennedy shifts closer, their body warm against Ayna’s in the cool night air. “Don’t be. It’s normal, it’s fine,” they take her hand, their palm covering tiny cuts, tiny imperfections with warmth and comfort. “I’d get jealous if you were walking around with someone too.”
“You’re not weirded out by it?”
“No, it’s normal,” They squeeze Ayna’s hand, thumb brushing lightly on her skin. “It’s human. You’re human.”
“I still don’t like it,” she scowls, eliciting a nudge and smirk from Kennedy.
“That’s fine, too,” they reassure, a more serious expression taking over. “So what happened with the thorns?”
“I got you roses,” Ayna’s cheeks flush dark, “Even though I know it’s lame, and then I kinda, uh, threw them out.”
A wide grin breaks across Kennedy’s face as they sidle up against Ayna, throwing their arm over her shoulder. “One:” they count off on the hand resting over her shoulder, “that’s adorable, and two: why’d you toss them?”
She doesn’t move beneath their arm, sitting stiff and rigid, her voice the same, “I got jealous and ruined them. I wanted tonight to be perfect, it was supposed to be perfect, and I ruined it.”
“Stop that. You didn’t ruin anything,” Kennedy scolds. “I told you, jealousy’s human. And I tend to like the things about you that make you human. It’d be weird if my Valentine was a robot,” they tease, nudging Ayna until she joins them in smiling.
She finally faces them fully, her own eyebrow jutting upwards, “I never said I’d be your Valentine.”
“You didn’t, did you?” Their arm retracts, leg folding on the bench as their body rotates towards hers. Their palms clasp in their lap as they lean forward, a smirk on their lips. “So what’ll it be, Ayna? Be my Valentine? My perfectly imperfect Valentine?”
She chuckles, shaking her head as she finally relaxes, the teasing familiar. “That doesn’t make any sense,” she smiles softly, tucking a fallen strand of hair behind her ear, unbothered by it.
“It does if you turn off the robot brain,” Kennedy lightly taps Ayna on the nose, laughing when her face scrunches.
“The robot brain is a part of the Valentine’s package.”
Kennedy squints, eyes roving over Ayna’s features. The askew glasses, the smudged lipstick, the flyaway hairs. “Are the roses also a part of it?”
“Mmhmm.”
“Then I’m all in,” they grin, just as infectious and brilliant as always. “So? Valentines?” they prod, wiggling their eyebrows playfully.
Ayna smiles softly back, scratched hands rising to cup Kennedy’s cheeks and close the already shrinking distance between them. “Valentines,” she murmurs against their lips, a whispered promise. Before they meet, light and soft and full of the light that’s held beyond the bushes.
