Your daily commute to the convenience store was nothing out of the ordinary. Except this time, today, there was.

You weren't paying attention to your surroundings, your body running on autopilot. You walked towards the next aisle, a few items in your hands, then— CRASH!

Before you knew it, you ran straight into a very warm, hard wall...? The items you held clattered to the floor and when you looked up, you realised it wasn't a wall. It was a man. A very attractive man.

"Shit! I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." You quickly apologised. You didn't notice his hand was supported on your lower back until you both stepped away from each other.

"No worries, are you okay?" He asks before you both crouch down to pick your dropped items up, his hand accidentally brushing yours. "Y-Yeah, I'm okay, thank you..." You blush as you both stand back up, and he helps you take the items to the checkout.

Searching for an opportunity to ask him for his number, your mind was racing. The two of you walked out of the store together, and the man hands you your bag of items. "Get home safely." He smiles, waving, before he turns his back to you and walks the opposite direction.

It dawned on you as you watched him walk away into the distance that neither of you told each other your names. Idiot.

It's ridiculous how such a short, insubstantial interaction with an attractive guy put such a big smile on your face during your walk home. What an odd day.

· · ─────── · ·

When you were close to your house, you heard a meow from around the corner. Stopping in your tracks, you listened closer.

Meow.

You decided to see if your ears were playing tricks on you. When you turned the corner, you spotted a white rag doll cat with matted, filthy fur, that seemed to be starving. You cautiously approached it, but when you held your hand out, it immediately came to you.

"Hi little one," You call in a sweet voice. It lets you pet it whilst you take the time to study the collar around it's neck, reading what was engraved on it. "Ah, so your name is Luna." You contemplate aloud.

You scoop the cat up and make your way to your house just down the road. "Come on Luna, I'll get you something to eat."

Stepping into your home, you go straight to your kitchen. "There you go, I'll be right back with food." You call to the cat while setting her down on the floor. You get a bowl and fill it with cat food, placing it on the floor.

After you ensured the cat was fully fed, you took the time to run it a bath. You expected the process of washing her to be hard, but Luna was one of the most docile cats you've ever met. When you placed her into the bath, she literally just stood there and allowed you to clean her with no troubles.

"All done!" Calling in a sing-songy voice, you gently lift the drenched cat from the bathtub and pat her dry with a towel. "I should really give your owner a call now."

You sat in the living room watching over Luna as you dialed the numbers that were on her collar into your phone. You felt guilty that you desperately wanted to keep the cat, but this was the right thing to do.

The phone rings several times until it's finally picked up, a males voice speaking over it. "Hello?"

"Hi, sorry if you're busy but I've got your cat, Luna, in my apartment, I found her outside." You explain and you hear the man gasp. "Oh my God, you found her?! She's been missing for almost two weeks!" The owner exclaims.

"Are you able to come pick her up now?" You ask, waiting for the owner to answer. A few moments pass, you assume he's looking at the time or something. "Maybe, may I ask for your address to see how close it is? I have some errands to run but those can wait."

You give him your address and apartment number, and luckily you lived only a few blocks away from him. "I'll be there in 15 minutes!" The owner says before hanging up the phone. You look across the room and see Luna playing with a cat toy you had. You really wanted to keep her.

· · ─────── · ·

After fifteen minutes exactly, your doorbell rung. You buzz him up, and a few moments more a you hear a soft knock on your door. You grab Luna and open the door.

It was him! The guy from the convenience store earlier that day was Luna's owner. Maybe it was fate to meet again.

"Oh, hello there again." He greets first, a sheepish smile adorned his face, seemingly taken aback that it's you. "H-Hi, here's your cat." You hand Luna over.

Luna's owner immediately engulfs the cat in a hug. "Oh my baby, I missed you!" He dramatically sighs and you can't help but giggle. "Don't ever run away again." He scolds the cat with a pout.

He looks back at you for a moment. "Um, I should give you some money or something for finding her." He fumbles with his pant pocket, about to pull out his wallet. "No! It's fine, you don't need to do that."

The man nods in understanding, putting his wallet back in his pocket. "I'm Jaemin, by the way." He introduces himself.

The name strangely suited him. "I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you, again..." You mutter the last part and he laughs. "I really love your cat by the way, she's so well behaved!"

"Yes, she's a dream. Except when she decides to go on little adventures around the neighbourhood," Jaemin smiles and coos at the cat in his arms.

A few moments pass in silence as you study the man. He seemed lost in thought, until he finally looked up at you with a grin and opened his mouth. "Hey, instead of me paying you, maybe you could come visit Luna and my other cats every now and then?"

The proposition sounded very tempting. But you hardly knew the guy... Your survival instincts were screaming red flag! But deep down you knew Jaemin was harmless.

This could be the perfect opportunity to get to know him. "Sure, I'd love that."

"Great! I'll give you my number."

· · ─────── · ·

You and Jaemin had been texting non-stop since. Mostly because he would spam you to play pool with him on iMessage but that's besides the point. Every time you'd get a notification from him, you'd start giggling and kicking your feet. You were down bad for a man you hardly knew.

Jaemin hadn't asked you to come over yet. He was scared you'd misunderstand his intentions. You expected that, so you initiated first.

When the conversation you were currently having with him died down, you decided to finally bring it up.

so... when do i finally get to see luna again?

I'm free tomorrow, you? :)

sounds like a plan!!

Squealing over the message like you were a teenager texting your crush, you immediately stood up to pick out an outfit while you texted back.

You turned your phone off and threw it on your bed as you looked through your closet. Jaemin had a good fashion sense, — You definitely didn't stalk his Instagram — so, what you picked had to be something that wasn't too much, but also give a good impression.

You decided on wearing a baby blue sweater with a white skirt to match. The skirt wasn't too short, but you did decide to wear it on purpose. Whether that purpose was good or bad, you didn't know.

You could hardly fall asleep, excited for what was to come tomorrow.

· · ─────── · ·

When you approached Jaemin's apartment building, you started feeling anxious. What if he ends up hating me?

Those kinds of self destructive thoughts are what would always hold you back from things. But this time you refused to listen to them.

You took the elevator to his floor, double checking the room number he sent you. Knocking on the door that had the numbers 24 on it, you heard clattering inside and quick footsteps approaching the door.

Your anxiety bubbled down when the door swung open and you were met with Jaemin's smile that beamed down onto you like the sun. He looked a little disheveled, his hair messy and his face flushed. Why was he out of breath?

"Hey Y/N. Come on in," Jaemin steps aside and lets you pass him, stepping into the small hallway. "Um, ignore the mess please. Luna and Lucy were fighting just before you came, and I had to break them up. Very strenuous work." He explains with a chuckle, gesturing towards the knocked over items on the floor that you assumed was the decor on his coffee table.

"No worries. Where is Luna?" You ask, looking around and only seeing a male cat you've never seen before. "That's Luke. Luna's probably hiding under the couch. I've put Lucy in timeout since she was the one that started the fight."

Jaemin continued to tell you about his cats. You loved how proud he was to be a cat father. As you sat on his couch together, a white furball in the corner of your eye nudges your leg. "Luna, there you are!"

You coo as you grab the cat and pull her into a hug. "My other cats will be jealous," Jaemin chuckles. "Luna seems to love you."

"I have to admit, I almost kept her when I found her." You smile guiltily, but Jaemin just laughs. "You know, Luna's the only one of my cats that don't warm up to other people besides me. You're special."

Your heart races at Jaemin's words, heat creeping up your neck. "I just have that effect, I guess." You smile sheepishly.

Jaemin just nods, silence filling the room. You continued to play with Luna, not noticing the gaze the man had on you. You only turn to look at him when he clears his throat.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" Jaemin asks. Your eyes widen a little, caught off guard. "There's a cafe close by. We could walk." He adds.

You can't help but smile. "Why not?"

· · ─────── · ·

Was this a date? Those thoughts ran through your head during the walk to the cafe. You and Jaemin walked side by side, close enough that your hands would brush every couple of steps. You noticed he was a bit shy, and so were you.

The two of you now sat side by side in a booth. You thought that a table where you faced each other was too 'date-like', so you gravitated towards a booth and it seemed Jaemin understood and slid beside you.

Since it was midday, you ordered bacon and eggs with an iced tea as brunch, Jaemin the same. "So Jaemin, what do you do?"

"I'm in my last year of college. I'm majoring in graphic design and photography. I'd like to make it into my career some day." Jaemin explains, and you stare at him in awe. "What about you?"

"I never went to college, so I've been kind of aimlessly working different retail jobs. It's enough for me, I never really had a dream career." You explain, the words tumbling out of your mouth before you could stop. "Sorry, I overshared a bit there."

Jaemin just shakes his head. "No, I want to learn more about you. Overshare all you want!"

You just nod and smile, about to ask another question but were interrupted by the waitress placing your food and drinks down in front of you.

"Thank you," You say as the waitress walks off. "Um, so what made you get three cats?"

Jaemin laughs. "I don't really know, to be honest. I started with one, then I ended up adopting the other two. They're siblings, I couldn't bear the fact they'd be separated."

"Awe, that's so cute. You're so admirable." You compliment and you don't miss how he shyly smiles.

The conversation went smoothly, the two of you learning things about one another. You even told him stuff some of your friends don't even know about. Jaemin felt like a safe space, like you could confide in anything with him.

Finishing your meal, the question of if this was something more than just a hangout plagued your mind, so you decided to just ask. "Jaemin, is this a date?"

You just had to ask him when he was taking a sip of his drink. He choked, coughing. You pat his back to help him out, making sure he was okay before speaking again. "Sorry, is it not?"

"It originally wasn't, but if that's what you want it to be, then sure." Jaemin smiles at you. His eye contact was magnetic, you couldn't stop yourself from looking at him.

"Okay..." You replied meekly, not expecting that reply. Your face was burning at this point.

Your body jolts when Jaemin's hand covers your own hand, that was placed on the booth seat. "However, I would like to take you on a proper date. What do you say?"

Your heart jumped into your throat, not able to speak at his forwardness despite his outwardly shy demeanor. You melt at the way his eyes crinkle when he laughs. "It's okay, Y/N. Don't be anxious."

It's like he knew you already. "That'd be lovely, I-I mean, I'd like that." You stumble over your words, making you both chuckle in amusement.

After a few more conversations, you both decide it's time to leave. "I'll walk you home." Jaemin offers.

"No! You don't have to do that," You shake your head. "But I want to." Jaemin insists.

"I don't want to trouble you..." You sigh. Jaemin pouts but nods in understanding. "Okay, fine. Just make sure to text me when you get home so I know you're safe!"

"Fine, dad," You groan, rolling your eyes jokingly. "See ya!" Jaemin just grins, waving like how he did when you first met. "Bye, Y/N!" He calls as the two of you part ways.

· · ─────── · ·

It was the night of your and Jaemin's proper date and you were shaking with anxiety. He was taking you to the movies, so it was going to be a chill, fun date Putting your outfit on, you admired yourself in the mirror.

You decided on a simple white long sleeved crop-top and a light blue pleated denim skirt. Along with some sheer tights underneath since it was getting colder.

It was just a casual outfit, but something about it made you look hot. You checked the time and saw you only had 45 minutes until Jaemin arrives, so you scramble to do your hair and makeup.

Luckily you finished right on time, putting on your perfume as the last step before you heard a knock on the door. Grabbing your bag and putting your shoes on, you open the door.

"Jaemin!" You exclaim, engulfing him in a hug. You could still feel the lingering touch of his hand on your waist when you pulled away. "You look amazing," Jaemin smirks, eyeing your figure. You couldn't help but feel small in his gaze.

You took the time to drink him in. His hair was styled in the way he usually does but this time he looks different. Sexy. He wore a simple white t-shirt with a black leather jacket paired with a pair of jeans. "I could say the same to you." You smile.

"Shall we go?" He asks as he jokingly lifts his arm up for you to link yours with his, and you nod with a laugh. Jaemin opens the passenger door to his car for you and you can't help but tease him for how chivalrous he was being.

"So, what movie are you taking me to?" You ask, looking over at the man now focused on the road ahead. "It's a secret." He hums and you roll your eyes.

"If it's a horror movie I might kill you, I swear." You mutter and Jaemin laughs. "I can tell you it's not horror. Don't worry, you'll love it."

When Jaemin pulled into an outdoor parking lot, you were confused. Where was the movie theatre? But then you realised it was an outdoor cinema, and you squealed. "I've never been to one of these before!"

Jaemin smiles as he parks his car in a spot that had a clear view of the screen. "And, guess what?" He replies. "It's a showing of your favourite movie!"

You gasped. He remembered your favourite movie? You both talked about all your favourite things with each other over text but you didn't expect this at all. It may have been the bare minimum, but your heart swelled with love nonetheless.

Jaemin got a blanket and a few pillows from his backseat and you helped him spread them into the trunk of his car, creating a nice seating area for the two of you to watch the movie comfortably.

"This is so lovely, thank you Jaem." The nickname rolled of your tongue. "I like that, 'Jaem'." He murmurs, mimicking the nickname. "Call me that more often, baby."

Your knees almost buckled at the pet name he gave you. His words laced with honey had you wrapped around his finger, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

After back and forth flirting, you settled into the trunk of Jaemin's car. The movie started playing and you were immediately enthralled, not realising how close you were laying next to Jaemin until you felt his hand rest your thigh.

You shyly peeked at him, he was fully focused on the movie. You lean in closer to him as the night air was getting colder, and he wrapped his arm around your waist.

You basked in the feeling of his touch, not wanting it to end. Sadly, it ended as soon as it started, because Jaemin moved his arm to pull a blanket up on the two of you. His touch was quickly replaced by his hand on your thigh again.

He started tracing circles on the inside of your thigh and you shivered. The seemingly innocent action quickly making you think impure thoughts.

Swallowing, you looked away out of shame. "What's wrong, princess?" Jaemin asks in a whisper, and you jump at how close he is to your face when you whip your head back around. "Why're you so jumpy?"

"I-I'm sorry," you stutter, trying not to make a fool of yourself. Jaemin smirks when you look down at his lips, not breaking the distance between you. "Can I kiss you?" You whisper.

Jaemin doesn't answer as he closes the distance between you, and you melt into the kiss almost instantly. It was sweet and gentle, like he was being cautious. But you got impatient, swiping your tongue against his lips.

He lets you in, sucking on his tongue as your hand toys at the hair on the nape of his neck. He groans softly onto your lips, enamoured by you.

You can feel the hand he has on your thigh creep up dangerously close to your growing arousal, his other hand cupping your cheek. When you pull away, he grips your inner thigh roughly. "Wanna make you feel good, can I?" He whispers seductively into your ear.

You nod your head but Jaemin shakes his in response. "Nuh-uh, I need to hear you say it."

"Please, Jaem... Want you." You mewl and he grins. "I'll take care of you."

He pulls you into his lap while still keeping the blanket on you, his hand cups your clothed core from under your skirt, which was now raised up past your upper thigh. You sigh, your head falling into his shoulder as he slips your underwear out of the way.

"You know, I never hook up on the first date, but you..." Jaemin whispers lowly into your ear, you squirm under his touch when his fingertips just brush your clit, it's not enough. "You make me crazy, I can't keep my hands off of you."

Whimpers spill out of your mouth when Jaemin's thumb finally rubs your clit, slow and tantalising. The movie was loud enough and the car was far away from others that you doubt anyone would hear you unless you started screaming, so you let out any pretty noises that Jaemin forced out of you.

His fingers rub up and down your vulva with his thumb still on your clit. "So wet for me, you're adorable." Jaemin cooed, his deep voice so close to your ear. You watch as he moves his hand that was on your pussy up to his mouth, his lips wrapping around his digits.

He hums in delight, not breaking eye contact with you as he licks them clean of your slick. "Fuck..." You moan softly at his ministrations, your eyelids heavy with lust.

"Can't wait to taste you properly. But that'll have to wait." Jaemin pouts, the enticing tone of his voice making you insatiable. "Jaem, need more. The movie's almost finished."

He listens, his fingers dipping into your entrance, but only giving you just a taste of them. He was doing it on purpose.

You groan in frustration, and he just chuckles while finally putting two fingers inside you. He shows no mercy as he fucks his fingers quickly into you straight away, making you pant and writhe against him.

You were so wound up already, and he didn't even touch you that much. Maybe it was just his aura, but it felt like Jaemin had cast a spell on you. You were love drunk on him. It was only your first date, you remind yourself.

When you throw your head back into his shoulder out of desperation, his lips swallow your moans, you could barely breathe with how long he kissed you but you loved it. Then, he added a third finger, then a fourth. You were gone.

You were already wound up tight but once he added pressure on your clit with his thumb, and you felt his other hand press down on your lower abdomen harshly, it was over.

"Fuck— fuck, Jaemin!" You choke out, your orgasm washing over you like a tidal wave. "Shit, you came fast." Jaemin chuckles in your ear, and you feel like crying when you feel him pull his hand away. You were about to protest, tell him to get over himself, but he puts his fingers in your mouth right as you opened your mouth.

You lick your cum off of them, not breaking eye contact despite the fact that his eyes on you doing something so lewd made you want to crawl into a hole. "You look so pretty." He smiles.

How could he sound and look so sweet during such an impure moment? "Can I do something to help you out too?" You ask when you shift your body and feel his rock hard cock on your ass. "It's okay, the movies about to finish anyway. I like pleasing you." He shakes his head.

You hum, turning your attention back to the ending scene of the movie. "I can't wait to sink my dick in that pretty pussy of yours, though." Jaemin whispers into your ear when the credits start rolling, his voice deep and laced with sin.

"My place or yours?" You ask, pulling your panties back in place and your skirt down before you help Jaemin pack up the blankets and pillows. "Mine."

When you were in the car on the way back to Jaemin's apartment, a sense of dread suddenly came over you. It wasn't because you were scared of him, it was how he thought of you right now.

What if he thought you were a slut for hooking up on the first date? What if he just wanted to fuck and nothing more? Your leg started bouncing anxiously as you sat in the passenger seat next to Jaemin.

"Are you having second thoughts? I can take you home if you are," Jaemin speaks up, worry in his voice. "No, no it's not that... I just..." You trail off, unable to get your words out.

"It's okay. Let it out." Jaemin reassures, placing his hand on your thigh and squeezing lightly. "Are you just doing this for the fuck, or do you actually want this to go somewhere? Because I do." You speak after moments of hesitation.

Jaemin stays silent for a moment, before finally opening his mouth. "I gave you my number originally because I had an interest in you since the convenience store, if I'm being honest. This is not just to hook up."

You let out an exhale you didn't even know you were holding. You stay silent as Jaemin parks his car in front of his apartment building, you could tell he wanted to say more.

"I do want this to go somewhere. I don't care where, I'd just like to be with you in any way I can. I really like you, Y/N." Jaemin confesses.

"I know we have just gotten to know each other, but my heart pounds every time I see you, even when I get a notification from you on my phone." He continues and you can't wipe the grin on your face.

"God, I believe we're fated to meet because why are you so perfect?" You utter and he laughs. "I just poured my heart out to you and that's how you reply?"

You giggle and playfully shove him. "Sorry, I can't take this seriously. But I'm grateful you can be so emotional with me, because I'm not great at telling people how I feel." You say before giving him a long, passionate kiss that had him melting under your touch. "D-Did you want to come in?" He stutters.

"Yes, you being romantic really turned me on." You mumble and he rolls his eyes with a grin before grabbing your hand and pulling you out of the car.

· · ─────── · ·

It was no surprise he had you on naked, on his bed in the matter of minutes as soon as you entered his apartment.

But when he unbuckles his belt, you sink to your knees and move his hands out of the way, doing it yourself and pulling his pants and boxers down in a rush.

"Jeez, you're that hungry for it?" Jaemin teases but you ignore him as you stare at his cock once it springs free and hits stomach. It was pretty and veiny, the tip flushed from the blood rushing to it. "You're drooling." He says.

"Shut the fuck up or I won't suck you off." You deadpan and he stops talking. You smirk as he lets out a small moan as soon as his tip enters your mouth.

"Who's drooling now?" You challenge, looking up at his blissed face. "S-Shut up, I just haven't done this in a while..."

You giggle and keep sinking down on his cock, your hands taking the space you couldn't fit in your throat without gagging. You start off slow, thrusting his cock in and out of your mouth and jerking the base of it off, Jaemin's soft groans spurring you on.

His hand in your hair tightens when you remove your hands and try to deepthroat him, but your gag reflex stops you so you pull away. "Sorry, fuck... I also haven't done this in a while." You shyly admit while Jaemin strokes your hair to comfort you. "Baby, you're doing amazing. Don't stress, just do what you're comfortable with."

Why couldn't every man act like him? You smile and take him in your mouth again, but this time his cock slips past your gag reflex and you cheer internally. "Ah, fuck. Good girl," Jaemin praises and you whimper around his shaft, the vibrations sending shivers down his spine.

"Mhmm, just like that." Jaemin moans, hand in your hair getting tighter as you take him in your mouth deeply. You started playing with his balls, and that was when his moans started getting breathier.

You could feel him twitch, but as you were getting ready to swallow his cum, he pulls you off of him. You pant, catching your breath as he wipes the spit and drool off of your face. "Wanna cum somewhere else."

Jaemin helps you up off your knees and lays you down on his bed. “You’re so beautiful, Y/N.”

Embarrassment blooms through you, looking away. “Don’t hide from me.” Jaemin’s hand moves your head to face him.

He then pulls away and looks through his bedside table. “Shit, I don’t have any condoms…” He mutters. “It’s okay.. I’m clean and on birth control.”

He hesitates. “When was the last time you got tested?”

“Six months ago. But I haven’t fucked anyone since.” You answer. “You?”

“Last week. I’m clean too.” He smiles sheepishly and you chuckle. “It feels better raw, anyway.”

Jaemin’s face flushes but he closes his drawer and positions himself between your legs anyway. “You sure?” He asks one more time.

“Yes, Jaem. Fuck me already.” You groan, sexual frustration washing over you when you have a hot, naked man who is interested in you right in front of you.

He finally sinks his tip inside of your entrance, his cock going inside bit by bit until he finally bottoms out. You both moan together in relief.

“You can move.” You reassure, your hands on his shoulder as he hovers above you before thrusting once or twice, experimenting.

He wasn’t huge so you didn’t feel any pain. You weren’t sure if it was just because it’s attached to him, but his dick felt good.

His thrusts started to speed up, his hands holding your hips tightly as your hands scratched down his back.

“Ah- Ah, god,” You whimper as he hits the spot that made you feel stars in only a matter of minutes. “Jaemin…” His name leaves your lips drawn out and whiny, just how he likes it.

“Will you be my boyfriend?” It comes out of your mouth without you realising until Jaemin stills his hips, his dick twitching inside of you. He laughs in disbelief.

“You ask me that while I’m balls deep inside of you?” He teases and you hide your face with your arms, embarrassed.

“Look at me, Y/N.” He orders and you listen. “Yes, I’ll be your boyfriend.”

He pulls you up for a kiss, this time it was filled with something you couldn’t point out but it felt amazing. Then, he snaps his hips up inside of you and goes back to his pace he had before. “Fuck!”

“Baby, you’re gonna drive me crazy… Swallowing my dick so tightly, like I was made for your pussy.” Jaemin rambles, too lost in the pleasure to care if he sounded insane, but you ate up every word he said to you like it was your last meal.

“I’m close.” He whispers, his thrusts getting faster and he snakes a hand to your clit, trying to get you over the edge too. “Come with me?”

“Y-Yeah,” You slur, his relentless pace making you dumb. You felt his dick twitch inside of you before he pulled out, jerking himself off while rubbing at your clit.

You came at the sight of him alone — all sweaty, moaning and fucked out for you. Your body convulsed and you felt his warm cum on your stomach before he collapsed beside you, pulling you into an embrace.

You gave yourselves a few minutes to come back to Earth. “Let’s get cleaned up…” Jaemin mutters, helping you to his bathroom.

· · ─────── · ·

You and Jaemin had been dating for a month now, and you basically became his cats’ mother. You were over at his apartment any time he wasn’t busy with college or work. You fucked like rabbits too.

You’d suck him off when he’s trying to write his papers, he’d eat you out when you were chilling on your phone. You made love almost every night… You were content.

After not dating anyone for almost four years, Jaemin coming into your life was the best thing that could have happened to you, and you couldn’t help but thank Luna for coming to your apartment building that day when she escaped Jaemin’s.

“Hey baby, you finished?” Jaemin knocks on the doorframe to get your attention. “Almost, give me a second.”

You type the last sentence onto your laptop, closing it with a smile. “Finished!” You exclaim.

“Finally, I’ve been waiting all day to touch you.” Jaemin groans. You giggle as he picks you up, wrapping your legs around his waist as he carries you to the bedroom.

“Well now you have all night.”

How I was taught to cleanse with fire

Many cultures around the world use smoke and fire for cleansing and purification rituals. New Mexico is not different in that manner, as often I see curanderos (and spiritual leaning Catholics) burning a variety of herbs, woods, and resins to cleanse themselves and their spaces. Sometimes we even use mezcal to cleanse by spraying it from our mouths. While not necessarily ‘fire’, it does have that flame element to it. Spraying mezcal from the mouth is often done to cleanse the body or mind of someone, rather than a space.

I grow a variety of herbs on my property and I often find myself inclined to use them over store bought bundles or incense as it feels more traditional, and connects me to the earth and to my ancestors. My grandma taught me how to burn desert sage to purify a space, which is one of my favorites to use spiritually for cleansing. It brings an energy of healing and calmness when you burn it, and also works great for purification. I think of it as the lavender of sages due to its warm hug-like energy it brings.

To begin cleansing with desert sage, you first must hold the sage in your hands, and close your eyes. Envision happiness, and warmth, and hugging your own abuelita. Think about the warm yellow energy of the desert sage and how it brings that feeling of walking through a winter landscape knowing that you will be home soon. Enjoy the feeling and scent of the unburnt sage. Once you feel ready to begin, open your eyes, and take one deep breath in and out. Now, you must open the front door of the place you are cleansing, and optionally more windows if the space is large enough. The thick adobe of my grandmothers house wouldn’t allow any spirits to leave if you didn’t allow them to exit somehow. Begin by walking around the space with the unlit sage, feeling the energies of the space and finding spots that you need to focus on. Once you have identified the dense spots, you can light the sage. I always light the largest end of the desert sage bundle as I find it is the easiest to work with, allowing you to hold it by the smaller portion. Allow a large ember to form, about the size of a dime. Then, while walking through the space blow on the ember allowing the smoke to fill the direction you are blowing into, as this brings life and soul into the sage you burn. While doing this be intently focused on removing ‘anything bad’ as my grandmother would say. Be sure to blow the smoke into each of the four corners of your house too, to fortify and protect your space. I usually include the outdoor corners too, if the weather is calm enough outside to allow my sage to burn. Once you have hit all of the dense spots with your smoke, place the desert sage into a cooking pot in the kitchen or living room until it ceases to burn. This allows the smoke to do any remaining work it needs to. Once complete, thank the spirit of the sage by holding it again in your hands, giving it a sort of hug, and verbally thanking it. You may leave an offering at the bush you collected it from if you harvested the sage itself, otherwise you could also leave the offering near your favorite plant, I suppose. Once complete store your sage respectfully until the next time you need to purify your space.

Allow the front door and any open windows to remain open for at least 30 minutes after the final ember went out. Remember to always practice fire safety and never leave a sage bundle burning unattended.

If desert sage does not grow near you, look into if it would be able to successfully grow in your plant hardiness zone. If not look into using a native sage variety that grows in your area! In my opinion it is always best to use herbs that are from the region you live in over imported ones any day. And of course, do your best, because no one is perfect. If store bought is all that is available to you then use it! Or, if you already have a store bought herb bundle go ahead and use that. Be resourceful, and stay safe out there!

Mr. Gentleman 18+ (pt. 2)

[this is pure fiction.]

description: office romance, smut

There was sunlight shining on Joshua’s pretty face. He was in a deep sleep and didn’t even wake up when I touched his cheek. I slowly got up from my bed, careful not to wake him and made my way towards the bathroom. It was already 11am when I came out of the shower. I decided to make some pancakes for breakfast and as I got started in the kitchen, I could hear Joshua get out of bed. He was probably folding the sheets. He came out of the room with a smile on his face, “Good morning, Y/n.” I smiled back, “Morning, Shua.” I said as he came and hugged me from behind, his arms wrapping around my waist. He rested his face on my shoulder, “Are you making pancakes?” He asks. I nod, “I’m almost done. Have a seat.” I serve him a plate with three pancakes and maple syrup. “How is it?” I ask, as he takes a bite. He nods and his eyes lit up, “It’s really good. I haven’t had homemade food in a long time.” I join him at the table and we start talking about how to spend the day. He suggests we go shopping together and then dinner as it’s the weekend. {…}

Joshua and I had decided to meet later at the mall as it was near my house. He didn’t have his clothes so he’d left to change his clothes at his house. It was early evening, I reached the mall and found Joshua waiting for me at the taxi stand with flowers in his hands. A cute and small bouquet. “These are for you, Y/n.” He says, my stomach swarmed with butterflies because of him.

I accept the flowers and keep them in my hand as we walk around the mall together. He holds my other hand and brings me inside a store. An expensive store. He asks me to choose anything I like. “This bag looks cute.” I say, pointing at a small white bag. “Let’s buy that then.” He says, taking out his wallet.

“I only said it’s looks cute, we don’t actually have to buy it Shua.” I say. He forcefully buys the expensive bag, even though I tell him it’s not necessary. We visit a few other shops and I try not to point at things otherwise Joshua instantly wants to buy it.

Two hours later, we arrive at a Japanese restaurant not far from the mall. We both order ramen and sit at the outdoor part of the restaurant which is facing the sea.

The sunset view was amazing. We take pictures together and separately to post online later. After dinner, we sit down at the beach just outside the restaurant.

“Y/n, I want to tell you something. I haven’t dated anyone for years but as I got to spend time with you, I realised I really like you. You’re the most kind and beautiful woman I’ve ever met and I want to keep spending more time with you. So will you please be my girlfriend?” He says, his hands holding onto mine.

I smile at his words, “Shua, I like you too. I’ve liked you since I first saw you. Of course, I’ll be your girlfriend.”

He places lips on mine, I wrap my arms around his neck as I deepen the kiss. His hands holds onto my waist, “I can’t wait to take you home, baby.”

A few months later... 😏

We had been dating for almost 4 months now and tried our best to hide it from our colleagues. Only my best friend Sophie knew about us.

It was another Friday evening, everyone was leaving work early to go home to their family or go out with friends. I looked at Joshua, who was a sitting a few tables away from me still typing on his computer.

I guess I'd to wait for Joshua to finish as we were going out for dinner. I packed my bag and got up from my seat to ask Joshua when he'd be done with his work.

"I'm almost done, baby." He says, suddenly pulling me into his lap. He continues typing an email as I hold onto his shirt. Looking at his serious face while he was working made me feel hot. He looked so handsome, as always.

I couldn't help but press a kiss on his neck. He smiled as I placed more kisses on his jaw. He stopped typing and wrapped his arms around my waist, "You wanna do it here, Y/n?" He asked, making eye contact with me.

"What if someone sees us?" I ask, pouting.

"No one will see us. Everyone's gone home baby." He says, connecting his lips with me. My arms naturally wrap around his neck as I sit on his lap properly, straddling his thighs.

He lifts me up and places me on his desk, his body between my legs. His evident boner rubbing against me as we continue the passionate kiss. "I need to taste you baby." He says, his hand slides into my hair. He starts kissing on my neck down to my clothed stomach.

I was wearing a formal black dress, making it easier for him to take off my panties. He got down on his knees and pressed his thumb on my clit making me gasp. The hickeys on my thighs he had given a few weeks back had faded, so he started marking them again making me hold onto his hair.

"Shua, stop teasing." I finally say.

"Tell me what you want, baby." His darkened eyes met mine, as he looked up at me from between my legs.

"I want you. I want you to fuck me." I say.

He smirks, before pressing a kiss on my clit. His fingers enter me easily as he sucks on my clit. He's skilled at using his tongue and fingers, making slow circles on my clit and soon making me reach my high.

I hold onto his jeans, unbuttoning them and bringing them down. I couldn't wait anymore. I look at his cock, the pre-cum on his tip making my mouth water. I bent down making eye contact with him, as I licked his tip, tasting the salty cum on my tongue. This was so hot.

"Fuck." He curses, his head throws back as I take him into my mouth.

"As much as I love this, I need to be inside you baby." He says pulling me up and holding onto my thighs. I hold onto the edge of his desk as he slowly enters me.

We both moan at the pleasure as I hold onto his shoulders. He roughly thrusts into me, snapping his hips forward. "Fuck, you're so perfect for me." He says, biting my bottom lip before kissing me hard.

His thumb massages my clit as he continues to thrust in me harder, doubling the pleasure for me. I start marking his neck, as he goes faster. If anyone came into the office, they'd hear our moans and the rough sounds of his thrusts.

"I love you, Shua." I say, making him look at me through hooded eyes. His sweaty face and eyes looked so beautiful.

"I love you more, baby."

"You Deserve It, Lovey"- Harry Hook x Fem!Reader

Summary: Today is Harry's birthday and you want to make it one of the bestest and funnest days ever for your pirate boyfriend. (This is dedicated to Thomas himself as it is his birthday today-April 21st- I really wanted to write something special for him on his very special day because he means the world to me and I love him so much. I hope you all enjoy♡)

Warnings: None- fluffy to core! I Apologize if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes in this.

"Wake up, my love! Rise and shine, handsome!" You squealed softly as you playfully shook your pirate boyfriend to awake from his slumber.

Harry opened his eyes and smiled instantly at the sight of you. He knew what today was, and thought it was incredibly heartwarming how excited you were to celebrate with him.

"Aww, I'm up, I'm up, beautiful. Can't the birthday boy get at least five more minutes of sleep?" Harry asked playfully as he chuckled softly. You continued to smile and giggle more at him. Shaking your head as Harry gently pulled you close to him, you laid down next to him as he burried his head in your chest while he planted soft kisses against your smooth and soft skin.

You giggled while blushing as you always enjoyed it when he gave you kisses any where on your body. "It's adorable that the birthday boy wants to sleep more, but you may miss out on what the outside world has in store for you, lovey." You gently caressed his face as he blushed in your touch.

"You're too cute, my love. I love seeing you excited about my birthday". Harry chirped as he gently rested his hand atop of yours, "Don't worry, the day is still young and we'll have the best day ever together, I promise my bonnie lass."

Smiling and nodding your head, you gently kissed the tip of his nose before sitting up in the bed and scooting off the bed, standing up and glancing down at your pirate boyfriend as he still laid down comfy cozy in bed. "I will be making you a special birthday breakfast for you, your favorite lovey! I'll see you down there!" You winked at him as Harry fully sat up in bed with a bright smile on his face after you mentioned breakfast.

"You're the best, my love." Harry smirked at you before blowing you a kiss. You caught it and then waved at him as you then made your way out of the room and down to the kitchen to start cooking and making his birthday breakfast.

It was a little bit later when you had just finished baking everything when your pirate boyfriend greeted you. The both of you smiled brightly at each other when you saw him take a seat at the table near the kitchen. "Just in time. Your birthday breakfast awaits you my love." You winked at him as he smiled before sitting down fully.

You brought over two plates of food over to the table as you sat down at the table with him. "Here you are, lovey! Your favorite breakfast food for your special day. I hope you enjoy."

"Aww you made my favorite breakfast? Thank you so much, darling." Harry smiled as he quickly kissed your cheek before digging into his food, as did you with a bright smile and a tint of blush appeared on both of your faces.

The rest of the day was spent taking Harry around town and enjoying being outdoors and with each other's company. You two window shopped while walking hand in hand, stopped for an ice cold lemonade and a bakery treat of his choosing for Harry in your favorite local cafe, and even listened to live music from a sound stage of a band that happened to be playing out for the public as part of a local fair.

As you and Harry were continuing your walk together, you saw a beautiful flower bouquet in a flower store that looked perfect for your pirate boyfriend.

"I just remembered, I need to quickly buy something in here for a moment, my love. You're more than welcome to come in if you'd like." You smiled up at him as did he too.

Harry nodded in agreement and said he join you in the store as you two walked in hand in hand together, the strong scent of fresh flowers hitting your noses.

With in a few moments, you had found the perfect boquet set that you knew Harry would love. A bright red set of roses and tulips with a dash of yellow daisies and dandilons in the center of the bouquet.

You tried your best to hide the flowers until you bought them for him to not give away the surprise. Once you bought the beautiful flowers, Harry and you walked out of the store and joined hand in hand again.

Hiding the bouquet behind your back shortly before revealing them in front of yourself and to Harry. You gently reached out for his hand as he stopped in your path. "Happy birthday, Har-Bear. These are for you. I really hope you like them." You smiled up at him. His widened in awe as he gently took hold of the flowers,

"Aww thank you so much, beautiful. I love them. They are perfect, just like you." Harry winked at you, causing you to giggle and blush. He wrapped his arms around you for a hug which made your heart flutter.

"I am over the moon happy you like them, my love." You kissed his cheek as he blushed at your touch. Harry held your hand again and you two continued the birthday adventure and surprises for him.

"Let's continue your birthday surprises, Har-bear, shall we?" You playfully asked him as he chuckled and nodded his head,

"We shall, darling. I can't wait." Harry winked at you once more as you two continued to walk together.

The festivites rolled on when you took Harry to the Color Factory, an interactive exbhibt in museum form where anyone is free to play and take photos. You knew Harry would like it.

And he did. He loved it from the very moment you two walked hand in hand through the entrance and got to walk through all the different colorful rooms that contained different activites from the other.

When the both of you walked into another room, Harry stopped in his tracks and widened his eyes from excitment when he saw the huge ballpit with a minuture slide that connected in the corner.

"No way this is real, lass?" A bright smile appeared on his face as Harry glanced over at you and then back on the ballpit. You nodded your head and smiled brightly too,

"Yes way! Go on and enjoy it. Happy birthday, my love."

"Ugh I love you, lass!" Said Harry before quickly diving into the ballpit and gently dragging you alongside with him into the pit. You squealed and laughed as soon as you came back up.

"I'm beyond happy you like it here, Har-bear." You winked at Harry as his pearly smile grew. "This place is incredible, love. I have never been anywhere like it before." He stated as he moved in closer to you, reaching to hold both of your hands as you looked up at him with a blushy smile,

"It's more incredible that I get to be here with you today. You're the incredible one, darling." Said Harry as he slowly started to lean towards you as you kept on blushing and smiling as your heart fluttered in your chest.

"You desereve it, lovey." You softly replied before Harry's lips met atop of yours. You both closed your eyes for a moment, enjoying this romantic bliss.

Harry's hands gently rested on top of your shoulders and cheeks as the kiss deepend for a few more seconds. Your hands were wrapped around his neck as your fingers gently ran through his hair, before pulling away from your lips.

Seconds later, you quickly bent down to gently splash a few of the balls onto Harry as if it were like water at the beach, giggling and squealing softly as he started to splash you too. "Hey lass, are my kisses like candy to you or something? You almost always act like that after I do, and I find it adorable." Asked Harry as he raised his eyebrow while giggling softly.

You flushed after hearing his question. Nodding your head in agreement with Harry, "Yes, yours definitely taste like candy. My favorite candy are your kisses if you can believe that." You said, giggling and blushing more.

"Aww, well then what are you waiting for? Here comes your free all you can eat candy, darling!" Harry chirped before lunging at you as he saw you were playfully trying to run away from him out of the ballpit.

Doing that was one of your favorite things as it always sent an adrenline rush to both you. You squealed again when Harry caught you, sending you both back down into the deep dark underwater like ways of the pit, as you both laughed when returning back up to the surface.

Before you two left the musuem, You saw there was an ice cream shop close to the exit. You knew just how much Harry loves his ice cream. You'd be a fool to not have him have one of his favorite treats on his special day.

"Here we are! For you. Happy birthday, cutie pie." You said as you handed him the ice cream sundae that you and him shared together.

Harry's smile was child-like which was absolutely adorable to you. He held the ice cream treat in his hands while giving you a kiss on your cheek.

"Thank you so much, deary!" Said Harry as he winked down and smiled at you once more before you two ate the yummy treat together.

As day turned into night, the last stop on your birthday surprises for your handsome pirate king, you had arrived at the beach and it was right down the street from your apartment.

You and Harry walked hand in hand as you both were slowly reaching your surprise spot on the beach. Before you got there, you stopped walking as did Harry, looking down at you while raising his eyebrow. "Are you alright, my love?" He asked softly.

"Yes, everything is perfect. Can you please close your eyes for me, love? I would cover them myself but I'm clearly a tad bit shorter than you and I wouldn't want to make the rest of the walk a challenge for you." You giggled nervously, rubbing the back side of your neck, hoping Harry would find what you said cute.

"You're adorable, darling. I knew what you meant and of course, anything my sea princess." Wink Harry before he chuckled while closing his eyes.

You of course giggled as the blush reappeared on your face again as you then took hold of his hand and led him to the spot along the beach just for the two of you.

When you had arrived at the beach spot, you stopped walking and helped Harry stop walking as well while giggling for a moment. "Here we are. You may now open your eyes, Har-Bear." You announced while glancing at him, awaiting to see his reaction. Love and admiration filling your eyes.

The moment Harry opened his eyes and saw what was in front of him, a big bright smile was painted atop of his lips.

His bright blue ocean like eyes beamed with delight as they looked into your eyes with such happiness and love. Without warning, Harry pulled you close to him in his arms as he hugged you and kissed your check. You hugged him back. Your heart couldn't stop fluttering from happiness.

"I present to you a beautiful decorated, yummy, and romantic candlelit beach side picnic for you of your favorite foods. Happy birthday, lovey!" You said with a bright smile as you looked up at Harry and motioned to the picnic.

Harry was in awe,"Thank you darling. You pulled out all the lovely stops for me, haven't you, lass?" He asked you softly, you still gently wrapped around his arms. His voice purring like a kitten.

You nodded your head, booping his nose. "You better believe I did, lovey. I know you didn't get to celebrate it much growing up and now you do and I wanted to make this one just as special because I love you so so much."

"How did get so blessed to be with an angel like you, my love? Thank you so much, beautiful. It means the world to me that you did all this for me today. I love you so much." Said Harry, planting a kiss a top of your hair while hugging you some more, causing you to just smile as your face burried beneath his chest for a moment or two.

"I'll do anything to see my handsome king be and feel happy anyday. Now, are you ready for some yummy food, my love?" You winked at him with a smirk on your face before you two laughed softly and proceeded to walk and sit down next to the candlelit picnic setting spread out on the patch of sand on the ground.

You two were in for a treat... literally

As you and Harry had finished eating all of the yummy and scrumptious foods at your picnic, you knew what it was time for now and it made your heart beam with excitement even more just thinking about it.

When Harry wasn't looking, that is when you quickly turned to the side and grabbed hold of a bag that you had placed with along with the picnic setup. You gently put the bag in front of you, smiling over at Harry, hopping he'd notice your excitement.

That is exactly what happened. "Okay my love, here is your present. I really think you're going to like it." You chirped with a bright smile. Harry also had a bright smile on his face too, before playfully smirking at you.

"Aww my love, what did you get me when you've already given me the best day ever today?" Harry asked in a playful manner, causing your heart to beam from all the cuteness coming from him.

"Aww well you'll have to open it up for yourself to see, cutie pie." You quickly replied, sending him a wink as he giggled and then began to open the bag. You watched with excitment.

Seconds later as Harry saw what his gift was, his eyes widened and his mouth fell agape as he looked up at you. You knew he'd love and be so thrilled for what you got him. A big smile grew on your face as you watched his reaction.

"My love! You got me my dream guitar? The one that we saw in the store together a few months ago? This is beyond incredible. Thank you so much, my beautiful lass." Harry beamed with excitment as he admired the guitar in his hands for a moment before putting it down and leaned towards you, hovering over just a bit as he began to shower you with kisses all over your face, causing you to giggle and blush.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, lass. This day and being here with you is truly the best birthday and best present I could've ever ask for. I love you the most!" Said Harry in between the kisses and your skin.

"Anything for you, Har-Bear. I knew how much you'd been wanting it. Happy birthday, my love. You deserve it." You replied as you kissed his cheek as he blushed.

Harry then smiled down at you as you were starting to get lost in his beautiful ocean eyes. You giggled for a moment while raising an eyebrow up at him playfully.

"What's up, lovey?"

"Is it too late for a birthday kiss, darling?" Harry chuckled before blushing himself again. You couldn't help but giggle. You nodded your head and began to aim for his lips,

"Of course! Anything for the birthday boy." You winked at him before closing the gap on his lips with yours gently on top of his, entering another moment of romantic bliss.

- The End

Prologue & Chapter 1

A Blind Girl & Her Dog

"We followed the curse here, it unfortunately already killed the couple," Gojo says,

"Damn," Yuji says, "Well what are we waiting for lets go kill it"

"Not so fast buckaroo, Nanami and I think you two should go in alone. I wanna see where your abilities are at and whether you guys rely on Megumi too much"

"Ummm?" Nobara scoffs, "Yuji and I work just fine without that walking storm cloud. Come on let's show them" She says before walking off and Yuji follows.

"We'll follow you in after a few minutes and watch you from a distance," Nanami says

"Okay!" Yuji says in response

"Those kids are gonna get eaten alive" Gojo laughs

"Yep," Nanami replies, "Their cursed technique is great but they rely on it too much; they need to hone in their hand-to-hand combat and become more versatile with their weapons."

"Agreed, the principal is actively recruiting for a Combat Specialist, so let's see where that goes. Sighhhhh. Come on" Gojo says walking into the house with Nanami Following

-------------------------------------------

The Vibe:

Most Men-Amber Mark

'Clunk Clunk Clunk'

My cane makes that insufferable sound as I walk down the bustling streets of Tokyo. I hear the laughter and chatter coming from the restaurant with the outdoor seating on my left; and on my right, I smell a fresh brioche being taken out of the oven from the bakery on the corner.

'Click Clack, Click Clack'

The sound coming from the heels of a business women more than 30 feet away.

'I needed that report yesterday Haru; just have it turned in by 5 please' She says before hanging up abruptly.

"Yikes" I whisper to myself as I take a sip of my tea

'Clunk Clunk Clunk'

I continue walking down the street eventually turning off the right into the neighborhoods; they're much quieter than before. As I continue to walk I can hear loud sounds of downtown fade away behind me.

I'm on my way home from a long day of work at the restaurant, we debuted a new dish and the line was down the street for hours. It is now 11 past midnight and I find myself operating on autopilot on my way home. It's about a 2-mile walk from my loft to the restaurant; takes me about 30 min but I don't mind the fresh air, it's become a part of my nighttime routine honestly. It would be less draining and miles easier if I took a cab or an uber, but I need to keep my senses sharp. Every time I successfully make the walk home it's proof that I can continue to survive on my own. Navigating through one of the most busiest cities in the world is almost a near-impossible feat for a blind woman after all.

Nearing the end of my walk I begin to hear strange noises coming from the home next to mine. It sounds like a couple of people loudly talking and then the occasional scream or shriek maybe? And the smell, ughk, it was like someone put an industrial size fan in front of the city dump. I quickly find my way up the steps to my home and hurriedly unlock and open my door slamming it behind me to lock out the smell and sound.

"Phew" I sigh in relief, "Yukio!" I loudly call out. I hear the pitter-patter of clawed paws making their way across the hardwood floor and stopping at my feet. I fold my cane in itself and bend down to pet my pup. She was a midsized short-haired dog and she is my eyes, my guard, and my best friend.

"Hi, baby!" I laugh and pet her as she happily greets me, "How are you? Come on, let me feed you, sweet girl"

I walk to the kitchen and grab the dog food container that I leave on the left side of the counter. My home is very consistent with where I store my things, if it's out of place then it's lost. I live alone, I have no family, or friends that I trust in my home. Just me and my pooch and honestly I don't mind it. To live a life of quiet solitude is a near miracle considering the life I've lived. I grab her food bowl from the counter and pour some food in it and do a touch test to make sure it's enough and eventually place it down on the ground on the side of the kitchen island.

While she eats I go upstairs and change into my sleepwear for bed. Tonight is just a pair of boy shorts and an oversized T-shirt. I walk to my bathroom and brush my teeth as well as brush out my long silk press, making sure I have no knots.

I make my way downstairs and grab my stashbox as I head to the back patio with Yukio. While she runs around and does her business, I sit in my hammock and pack a bowl of the devil's jazz lettuce and begin to smoke; weed is very illegal here in Japan but the Chairperson of Japans National Public Safety is an old 'friend' of mine, so I'm not too worried.

The Vibe:

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

I lay back in my hammock, relaxing in the cool spring air, I smell the blooming cherry blossoms in the breeze and listen to the sounds of the locusts making their music.

'Crash!'

'Fuck!' I hear someone shout from next door

I spring up and turn my head in the direction of the noise, patiently waiting for another sound. I wait for what feels like hours but in reality, no more than 10 secs before I hear another sound.

'Boom! Crash!'

'Black Flash!' I hear a boy's voice yell before I hear the sound of an isolated explosion.

I get out of my hammock and run back inside to quickly grab the closest weapon I have stashed in my home. My karambit knife, I keep it hidden behind a piece of artwork on my wall; as well as an old school train conductor's hand counter. The sound from the counter will act as my cane, but in a smaller and more discreet way; it will create small sound waves that bounce off the surrounding surface, Human Echolocation.

Walking back outside I call for Yukio and she quickly runs to me, "Guard" I command to her.

Yukio has been with me since day one of my blindness; I got her as a gift from my father when he was still alive. Freshly blinded and in the hospital bed, he told me to reach out my hand's palms out, he then handed me Yukio a tiny puppy at the time.

"From now on Himari, where you go she goes when you train she trains. The loss of your sight is merely a setback; we are warriors who use weapons, she is your weapon." My father said to me. He presented her as a tool merely in my utility belt, but I knew he also intended for her to be my friend. We trained together for years and eventually, we became an unstoppable pair on the job.

Yukio switched from her relaxed usual demeanor to her serious kill-on-demand attitude. I begin to walk towards the back gate of my yard that leads to the alleyway, Yukio quickly follows behind me making little noise.

'Tick Tick

I use the counter to gauge my surroundings, decide the area is clear, and turn left to walk to the neighbor's house. I approach the back door and get slapped in the face with some garbage smell as well as an overwhelming smell of fresh blood.

"Shit" I whisper under my breath, "Stay" I demand Yukio pointing to the doorway. I hear her quietly whimper and sit down.

'Tick Tick

From the sound of it, the house seemed huge, which makes no sense because every house in this neighborhood is about the same size. This sounds like a mansion, with so many walls, and so much empty space.

Feels wrong here

"Itadori watch out" I hear a female voice yell this time before another crash.

I take a sec to make sure there's no one nearby to ambush me and command Yukio, "Come" We quickly, but quietly, follow the sound, making lefts and rights down this maze of a home, until finally, we hear the sounds of a fight more clearly. I eventually stop at the doorway where the fight is taking place. Yukio and I hide behind the wall listening and waiting to make our next move.

"Fuck! Why does he only move when we move!!!" The girl's voice yells in a huff

"I Don't know but it's making it damn near impossible to touch," The boy says in return\

The 'It' in question is unknown to me, I hear their heartbeats pretty clearly, but 'It' had none, yet it continues to move and attack. I can tell it was physically like a person but something was off.

What is this?

Also, the smell is coming from in here as well as that fresh pool of blood in the corner on the right. I hear them continue to try to attack it together for about 10 more minutes. They were very unsuccessful, barely making contact. As they catch their breath for a minute they stand still and the room went silent.

"On 3?" the boy asks

"I guess" the girl responds

"1..2..3!" I hear them both lunge forward at the same time, but I notice that the thing locks on to him first instead of the girl knocking him back and THEN her.

That's it

I've finally had enough of this sad fight and decided to intervene, quickly Yukio and I walk up in between the girl and the boy. "Hey, y'all okay?" I simply ask starling them

"Jesus. Does it look like we are okay?" The girl snarkily replies

"I don't know" I truthfully answer in an unamused tone

"Dude, why are you here? It's like totally not safe" the boy says, "Can you even see that?" he asks and I assume points

"Nope," I say "But yall looked like you need some help"

"Well unless you can't see it, you can't fight it; and if you can't fight it, you are gonna die. So I suggest you leave with your, cute dog Lady"

"Thank you, my dog is cute," I say not being able to help myself, "You" I point at the boy, "It only moves when you move"

"No it moves when either of us moves" he retorts

"You can't tell because you guys move almost at the same time, but I guaranteed it's locked onto you man. Easy way to prove it if you just take a step forward" I say looking in the girl's direction now.

"Fine" She steps forward and the thing doesn't move one bit.

I go ahead and do the same thing and once again it doesn't move, "See" I say, "We are gonna use you as bait. You begin to run that way" I say pointing to the left, "And she will attack"

"Sounds easy to me," She says, "Thanks strange dog lady"

"Okay" He sighs, "Ready Kugisaki?"

"As I'll ever be" She replies, "On your count"

"1..2..3!" He yells and begins to run in the other direction. The thing quickly locks on and follows behind him and almost instantly knocking him down. The girl did manage to get a jump on him and begins to hit him once but she want' fast enough; as she goes to hit it again the thing grabs her by the wrist and lifts her.

"Shit" I hiss before grabbing my knife and commanding to Yukio to stay. I quickly run towards the thing and quickly slice through its arm that was holding the girl. My knife went through it like a hot knife to a stick of butter, and she and the arm drop to the floor. Not wanting to give it time to counterattack, I kneel and roll behind it slashing the back of the ankles making it fall to its knees before finally coming back around and taking its head clear off. I slide back and in a protective stance waiting for it to get back up just in case, but after about 15 secs nothing happened and I relaxed.

"Everyone okay?" I ask

"Yep" I hear the muster up

"Yea, thank you, that was kind of badass," the girl says

"Thank You " I chuckle, "Yukio, Rest" I command, "Come," I say wiping my knife on my shirt and tucking it in my shorts before I pick up Yukio to hug her. Both our heartbeats were about to burst; It's been a while since we've been this on edge, "who are you guys?" I ask

"Well I'm Nobara and he's Yuji" she replies

"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Ari" I respond, "I smell loads of fresh blood, I'm assuming that's my neighbors then?" I ask

"Unfortunately yes," Yuji says

"Figures, I think I heard them dying when I got home. There were screams and yelling but I didn't think they were getting murdered in here." I say a little guilty

"You couldn't have known," Yuji says

"Hey guys!" a random man says on the other side of the room. My head instantly turns to the new voice, "So that was unexpected" He says walking towards us. I hear that there is another set of footsteps following him, "Nanami Thoughts?"

"Nobara I'm disappointed you didn't figure it out, Yuji, I'm not surprised," another man says very bluntly

"Hey man, we aren't a full team right now, Megumi isn't hereee" Yuji complains

"Yea Megumi is the brain, Yuji the Brawn, and I'm also the brawn but hot"

The first man continues to walk towards us but specifically towards me stopping about a foot away and leaning over me looking down, "And who might you be?" He asks in a happy tone, I'd have to assume that he is smiling.

"The nosey neighbor," I say taking a step back, "Are y'all cops or something?" I ask

"We're Jujustu Sorcerers, these are our students," the other man says unentertained

My blind eyes go dead, "Welp, you lost me at sorcerer so imma go home now. Dad always said to never ask questions you don't want to know the answer to." I say holding on to Yukio and clicking my counter beginning to walk away.

'Tick Tick

Whoa, the house sounds normal now, with less room, and fewer turns, it's like my home now.

"Weird," I say a little loud quickly stopping

"The cursed spirit locked us in a pocket dimension. As soon as you stepped in, you were trapped. It was lifted when you killed it" The first man responds, "What's the clicker for?"

"She's Blind" The other man chimes in

"No she's not Nanamin," Yuji says, "There's no way"

"He's right, I'm blind. The clicker helps me echolocate" I respond

"Like a bat?" Nobara says, "Okay batgirl, slay"

"Satoru Gojo," The first man says in front of me.

We all kinda stand there for a while in awkward silence.

"Are you- are you holding your hand out right now?" I say with a STRONG hint of annoyance before holding my hand out searching for his and finally connecting with him. He vigorously shakes my hand before pulling me to the other man, "This is my Best Friend Kento Nanami, shake the woman's hand Nanamin" he says in a childish voice

The man takes my hand and firmly shakes mine; his hand easily overpowered mine, it was big and firm. Yet he had a softness to him that sent chills down my spine., "I apologize for my colleague's behavior and the loss of your neighbors"

"Thank you," I say very genuinely

"What's your name?" Gojo says

"Himari Sanada, Nice to meet you all." I say clearing my throat, "Well, if y'all don't mind, imma take my girl and going home now. I'd say it's been fun but that would be a lie soooo bye." beginning to walk away

'Tick Tick

"Hey, you need a job? We're looking for a new combat specialist, our students are lacking in that area if you couldn't tell"

"No thanks. I've got a job good night" I say waving my hand before leaving all behind.

Happy Thanksgiving! (If you celebrate) I am thankful for your writing. 🤗

If you're not sick of writing for Jack yet, lol, how about 13. Making snowmen and 18. "You have snow on your eyelashes, looks cute." for him?

Hope you have a wonderful day filled with lots of good food and company!

A/N: Hello and happy holidays to you too! I hope your day was wonderful too! Thank you for requesting this, anon!

Snowman and Me

Summary: Jack thinks the best way to unwind from a stressful day at your job is to make a snowman.

Warnings: Just some good ol' fashioned fluff

"Why are we out here, Jack?"

"Because you need a relax and unwind for a few hours,"

You followed Jack as he lead you over to the side of your little cottage home, going ankle deep through the snow that just fell last night while the sun was hanging high up in the sky. Thankfully you weren't due to have anymore snow for the next few days, so the fresh snow you were going to have wasn't going to last long.

And apparently Jack saw the opportunity to play in the snow with you.

You both were living in the countryside in England, the closest town was a few miles out so the peace and quiet in the countryside was much needed and something that had healed the pair of you immensely. You both worked remotely and at home, which was perfect since the thought of driving into town daily seemed like a headache. Jack would only go into town for food and supplies, and sometimes meeting up with old friends with you too. But mostly working away on your laptop would be stressful too.

Now that winter was official underway, Jack made sure you both were heavily supplied to last at the cottage for the new few months in case a storm does come through, emergency kits at the ready and generators fueled up. Although it wouldn't be likely this year that you two would be snowed in, Jack wasn't going to take chances.

"Ah, here! This is the prefect spot for a snowman!" Jack said to you as he found the small opening on the side of the house, you grinning as he gestured to the fresh snow around you, "I don't know if you know this, but I can make a decent snowman!"

"Is that so?" You asked, almost in a challenging tone, Jack grinning as he nodded his head, "Well then, let me grab us some supplies from the kitchen than as you make the snowman, okay?"

"You got it, baby," He replied, leaning over to peck you on the cheek before you walked back over to the house. You could hear him behind you padding the snow together in his gloved hand, your smile not leaving your face as the sun was especially warm on your face, even on a cold day. Finally making it to the backdoor the took you in the kitchen, you kicked the snow off your feet and shuffled inside, breathing in the small dutch oven that was keeping your stew warm on the stove top and the small fire that was crackling in the fireplace perched the kitchen.

You loved this home, thinking it was tiny and perfect when you and Jack were looking for a new home to go to. Jack was mostly needing to find a place was a bit out of the way from other people for his transformations, which made the countryside perfect. There was so much space for him to be in that wouldn't be in harsh way. He made plenty of supplies for himself when he would became human again in the morning, extra clothes and food stored in a storage shed outside the home along with a outdoor shower to wash away any grime he would have on him. When you helped build the shed and store his clothes, Jack could only be thankful that you were still with him after all of it, even after being married for a few years.

You grabbed a carrot and a few pieces of coal that was next to the fireplace, stuffing them in your pockets as you then grabbed a spare scarf and one of Jack's hats that he hung on the wall near the backdoor. Everything about this little home seemed very unique, from the old school fireplace to the stovetop that was over 50 years old. But you and Jack loved the charmed of it, the mismatched furniture and the tender walls was almost the mirror of your relationship with Jack.

Which was why you didn't choose to replace anything when you bought the house.

"I was wondering if you were going to love me to do all the work!" Jack said in a chuckle as you were walking back out to him in the clearing, seeing he already made one massive ball and was working on the other one.

"I would never! Though I thought you would be faster and be done by now," You teased, though Jack rolled his eyes as you helped him shape the rest of the snowman, "Being such a hardworking man out here too!"

"Stop it," he said in a snort, though he was grinning from the compliment.

"And you have snow on your eyelashes, looks cute," You teased, though now Jack threw a bit of snow at you as you were placing on the last pieces on the snowman. Jack's hat, the carrot for the nose, and the coal along the front of the body. Walking backwards a bit, you both wrapped one arm around one another and looked at your creation. It was no perfect snowman, but it was simply yours.

Back at your cottage, perched against a magnet on your refrigerator door, was a sonogram with a heart drawn over the tip, the perfect sign of what was to come in your life.

The End.

34. "Maybe I don't quite know what to say, but I'm here in your doorway."

Joncella (waaait please while I try to figure it out just once for robbcella)

I'm so sorry, but this got so long! Thank you for getting me out of my Joncella slump...!

“How did you manage that?” she asked.

The question was directed at her daughter but said only to herself as Joey had gone to bed an hour or so before. Somehow in the course of the day – at least, she hoped it had only been there for a day – Joey had managed to get her favorite lime yogurt dripped onto the gas stove top that she wasn’t allowed near.

She was always finding little traces of her daughter at the end of each day. A drawing tucked into one of her books. A stuffed animal under her comforter. One time a shoe in the pocket of her trench coat, which had been quite embarrassing to pull out instead of her wallet at the pharmacy.

It was likely six year old carelessness, and there was nothing very romantic about ridding steel of pale green goop, but to her those other things had always seemed at least a little like her daughter was trying to make her feel less alone. That was her favorite way of trying to get out of going to bed but won’t you be sad without me?

When the stove was clean she filled the tea kettle and turned the burner on high.

There was plenty she could be doing, to give her and Joey time for a fun, lazy Sunday of doing exactly what they wanted to do and nothing that they didn’t, but she had a book that she was desperate to finish and was looking forward to sitting on the couch.

She heard a knock on her door and glanced at her phone. It was almost nine o’clock on a Saturday night. No one had texted to say they were dropping by.

It was a safe area, but she tiptoed to the door anyway and then peaked out the window. Her outdoor light was still on and bathed in it was a comfortingly familiar face. She opened up the door, and standing there with his hands in the pockets of his charcoal pea coat was Jon Snow.

Her stomach flip-flopped at the sight of him even though her heart ached slightly.

“Jon,” she smiled, forcing lightness into her tone, “Didn’t you have that date?”

He nodded, his eyes looking next to her but not at her.

She was grateful for that. She must have looked more disheveled than when he’d dropped her and Joey off that afternoon. They’d had dinner and a dance party and she hadn’t checked her appearance since, but she was sure that it had suffered for it.

When he said nothing, she stepped to the side and said, “Come in.”

He wiped his boots on the mat the way he always did, even when it was dry outside and he was coming in with her and Joey and neither of them bothered. Unlike her daughter, it was like he was determined not to leave evidence that he had been there at all.

She let him shut the door and lead him towards the kitchen, forcing herself not to glance in the hall mirror on her way.

“I’ve got the kettle on, would you like some tea?” she asked.

When he didn’t answer she looked back at him and he nodded, “Please.”

He was not a talker, but this was odd even for him. There was something in his eyes, something wounded and haunted that frightened her. He looked so different than he had earlier, holding Joey upside down by her ankles as she shrieked with laugher, raising her up so that she could kiss her belly.

They had taken a drive outside the city, to one of the seaside towns she’d long talked about wanting to explore. Like her, and Jon too, Joey loved history, she loved stories, so they had taken a walking tour and then found a too good toy store and gone for a long lunch. They’d picked up hot chocolates at the spot where everyone said you had to go for the drive home, and she’d carried the tray of cups while Jon had carried a sleeping Joey, her head tucked under his, her fist palming the lapel of his coat.

With Joey he was talkative. He’d tell her stories, ask her questions, give into silly little bits that the two of them had kept going throughout the week, settling into them as though it were perfectly natural that every time someone said major in normal conversation they’d salute.

He had been so good to her daughter, and her too. Ever since he’d returned from the south a little over a year ago, he’d been a constant presence in their lives, always there if one of them needed him. Before that, too, he had made sure to always call on their birthdays, and spend time with them every time he visited, but those had been few and far between. Since he’d returned north though, he had become a huge part of their lives.

She had never seen him look like this, though, and she found herself suddenly inadequate.

“Is everything alright?” she asked as she pulled out Earl Grey tea for him and jasmine for her. “What um… did your date go alright?”

It was a stupid question. If his date had gone alright he wouldn’t be in her kitchen now. Nothing said bad date like it being over before nine o’clock on a Saturday night.

The kettle started whistling and she pulled out two mugs.

As her back was turned he said, “I didn’t go.”

Her heart thudded in her chest, “Oh. Why not?”

He waited for her to take the kettle off the stove, turning it off and pouring the boiling water into the two mugs, the tea bags floating to the top stubbornly.

She turned and leaned her back against the counter, nudging his mug towards him slightly. He looked at the mug and then at her. She felt her eyelashes wet and her lips too dry. His dark eyes stayed on her as he walked towards her slowly, as though she might run away. As though she’d be able to or want to.

She could smell his comforting smell as he stopped beside her, his side to the counter. His large hand hovered over the top of the mug, letting the steam lick at his palm.

“How was the dance party?” he asked.

She smiled, “It was- how did you know we had a dance party?”

He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, “Because I’ve been driving around your block for the past two hours, trying not to knock on your door.”

His full lips had gone thin, like he was clenching even them, if that were even possible. His hair was in the same bun it had been that afternoon, a tendril escaping from where he’d pushed it behind his ear.

She should have told him to take off his coat. She should have asked him again why he hadn’t gone on his date. She should have asked him why he was driving by her house again and again. Or maybe what had made him decide to finally give in.

Instead she said, “You should have. Joey thinks your dance moves are the coolest.”

He smirked, his eyes crinkling, trying for a smile, “That’s just because I do the Dirty Dancing lift.”

She nodded, a smile in her voice, “Yeah, but that’s pretty cool so she’s not wrong.”

He swallowed and nodded, but said nothing else.

It didn’t make any sense. He’d come all this way, shown up at her door and now suddenly it was as though he didn’t know what to say.

“What happened with your date?” she asked.

“I cancelled it,” he told her, grimacing. “Didn’t seem fair to her.” He shook his head, “No… well that’s true. But uhm. It didn’t seem fair to you.”

It hurt now, her heart. It was beating so rapidly as though it was trying to break free of her chest. Like it had been too long chained and caged.

Her voice was thin when she said, “You don’t owe me anything.”

“Okay,” he nodded. “That’s fine… Except I want to.” He looked at her and shook his head, “Let me.”

“L…let you?” she wondered, as if she hadn’t hoped every goodbye for the past six months would end with a kiss.

“It made me happy, today,” he told her then. “That woman. It made me happy. That she thought we were a family. That you and Joey were… that, that you guys were mine. And I know that isn’t okay. I’ve spent every second since I dropped you guys off and so many before that reminding myself that it isn’t okay. But it’s the way it is. I want to owe you something. I want to owe you everything.”

She could remember the first time someone had mistaken the three of them for a family. It happened not long after Trystane’s funeral, five years earlier. Jon had stayed in town for a little bit. Though Trystane wasn’t technically his cousin, they’d always viewed each other as such. Quentyn, Trystane’s older brother was no help, and it was too hard for Aegon, who had been Trystane’s closest friend. So Jon, who really did owe them nothing, had helped her go through Trystane’s office, and would hold Joey long enough for her to take a shower and have something to eat, and was just there for her in a way she couldn’t even begin to understand.

They had taken Joey for a walk one day to the park, and Jon was pushing her in the baby swing.

Though they weren’t related, Jon and Trystane had similar coloring, and Joey had inherited hers from her father.

A well meaning woman had heard Joey’s giggle and smiled and said you two have got yourselves one of the good ones. She’d gone home that night and cried and cried, because they had had one of the good ones, and he was gone, and nothing would ever be okay again.

But over the years, she had learned that wasn’t true. She had learned that as much as she missed him and would always love him, she would be happy again. Things would be okay, even if the fact that he wasn’t alive never would be.

So today, when that woman had told them what a lovely family they made, it hadn’t been because of Trystane that her heart hurt.

“It made me sad, that it wasn’t true,” she told him, and admitted, “I suggested a dance party to distract myself from thinking about you on your date.”

As far as declarations went, it was a pretty pathetic one, but he seemed to understand all the same. He let out a deep breath and stepped towards her, until her side was against his front. She could feel the hard planes of his body underneath the soft wool of his sweater.

His hand, still warm from the tea reached for her, taking hold of her waist.

She couldn’t seem to look at him, and she felt him lower his head until their temples were against one another, and then their foreheads, his nose brushing hers. His kiss was soft, maybe the softest thing she’d ever felt. He shook his head against her though, his other hand cupping her cheek, tilting her up to him more purposefully, his lips taking hers.

He was flush up against her then, pinning her against the counter, the hand on her waist moving around her back, up between her shoulder blades, flattening against it. Her blood was on fire, as their lips wandered over one another’s and she gripped the arms of his coat in her hands trying to stay steady.

When he released her lips they sought his jaw and his cheek. She stood on tiptoes, reaching as far as he’d let her, wrapping her arms around his neck.

She was on the counter then and his hand was on her neck and he was kissing her again and again and again.

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he shook his head. “It… I feel terrible for how long I’ve wanted to do that.”

“How long?” she wondered. “Since before…?”

His eyes crinkled, his thumb stroking her cheek, “Since the night we met. That backless dress.”

She giggled, her forehead falling forward. He caught it on his lips.

“In your defense that’s a very good dress… I still have it around here somewhere,” she noted.

He groaned and she looked up and he kissed her immediately once again. This kiss was different, slow and warm and lingering.

When they parted, her fingers stroked his soft cheek, into his beard.

“I think he’s seen it,” she told him, she laughed at herself, “I don’t know a part of me thinks he’s rooting for us. He loved a happy ending.”

He kissed her brow, holding her to him. They stayed like that for a long time. They might have stayed there all night if they hadn’t been interrupted.

“Mommy?” her favorite little voice asked. Jon half-released her and they both turned to where Joey had walked into the kitchen, barefoot in flannel pajamas. The look of surprise and delight on her daughter’s face brought a smile to her own as she exulted, “Jon!”

“Hi sweetheart,” he greeted her, as he had when he’d held her for the first time in the hospital. “What are you doing out of bed?”

She yawned, walking over to them, “I had a weird dream.”

Jon picked her up, setting her in her lap, and then boxed them both in.

She smelled her daughter’s sweet shampoo and the special scent that was all her, kissing her sleep-warm cheek.

“A weird dream or a scary dream?” she clarified.

Joey took hold of Jon’s arm, opening his palm and then resting her cheek on it, her eyes closed, “Just weird.”

“You’re weird,” Jon teased, looking at the strangeness of her position.

Joey giggled, “I know.” Then yawned, “Mommy tried to do the Dirty Dancing lift and we fell on the couch.” Jon glanced at her and she nodded sheepishly. He grinned at her. “Can you do it tomorrow?”

“Yeah,” Jon promised.

“Yeah, baby, he’ll be here with us,” she told them both. Then to a soft-eyed Jon, warned, “Your arms are going to be so sore.”

He chuckled, “I can take it.”

They cajoled Joey back to bed with promises of Jon tucking her in, and she brought their mugs into the living room and settled onto the couch to wait for him.

When he joined her, his coat was off, and his boots too, and he sat down, pulling her into his lap.

He chuckled to himself and she looked at him curiously and he shook his head, “I really showed up here and said nothing.”

She smiled, “That’s not totally unlike you.” Then wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling giddy and elated and more hopeful than she could remember in sometime, “Did you rehearse a whole speech in the car?”

He smirked, his hands stroking the skin of her back underneath her sweater, “No. I didn’t know what I was going to say. Except this.”

With his strong arms around her, his lips brushed hers.

She smiled against them and whispered, “Tell me again.”
