♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

The sway of the music was heavy as you moved with it, lost in a mob of people. Your hips circled drunkenly, dancing the night away in a pit of sweaty people enjoying themselves as much as you. As the room rolled and jolted you started feeling hot, the sudden flashes of temperature overwhelming you. You started to tug at your top, trying to get it off to relieve yourself of the burning sensation in your body. The fabric clung to your skin and you started getting angry. Just as the shirt started to give way it was tugged back down by a pair of large hands. You almost screamed in annoyance, turning around to see your boyfriend standing behind you, holding your drinks and trying to have you keep your dignity. Your annoyance turned to a soft smile, then a giddy laugh when you spotted the alcohol. Swiping towards the drink in his hand, you almost feel over with the motion. Kirishima dragged the cup away from you, steadying you on his muscular arm.

“I think that’s enough for tonight sweetheart” Kirishima consoled you, smiling at your cute pout.

“Kiri it’s sooooo hot in here, help me cool down” you mumbled, slumping into his chest. A deep chuckle erupted from him, your childish antics humourous.

“Were gonna go home now, okay babes? He asked, pulling you up into his arms, discarding the drinks in the nearest trash can. You mumbled an okay as he pulled you towards the exit, the blaring sounds of yelling and bass fading the further you got from the crowd. Kirishima nodded at the bouncer as you exited the club, pushing the heavy door open and out into the dark rainy parking lot. Clubbing was fun for you two but somehow it always ended in him taking care of you. Your weight had fluctuated over the years but you were always a little fuller than the other girls you knew. Despite your weight, you could not hold your alcohol. Kirishima had seen your drunken state many times and while it could be a hassle, he loved the way your soft body clung to him, you were a needy drunk.

 The rain soaked through your white top, exposing the pink Lacey bra you were wearing. Kirishima felt his pants tighten a little, looking at you in the rain, smiling brightly and lighting up his world. You had always shined so bright to him, even on your worst days. Kirishima ushered you into the car, leaning over your full breasts to buckle you in. He held in a breath at the touch, he could sense you sobering up and he was definitely in the mood. He got in the drivers seat and started the car, handing you some water to sip on for the drive home. For 15 minutes Kirishima was silent, only occasionally looking over at you to check and make sure you were fine. Every time he peeked at you and you had your lips wrapped around the straw of the water bottle he gulped, speeding up slightly, his anticipation building from within.

When you guys pull up to your shared home the red haired man practically runs around the car to open your door. He offers to help you walk but you’re almost sober now from all of the water you drink. Kirishima walks behind you up the driveway and steps to the door, watching the way your hips sway in your skin-tight clothes. Kirishima’s love had boosted your confidence a lot since you guys started dating and he was glad because tight clothes were definitely a blessing to his eyes. He had always had a thing for bigger girls, your soft figure brought him comfort when his own body and quirk wouldn’t allow it. Taking off your shoes at the entryway and locking the door, you headed to the bathroom to use it before slumping on the couch. The clock on the wall read 2am, it was too late to be awake. You leaned your head down on the pillows, resting your eyes momentarily. The catnap did not last long because after around two minutes you felt heavy gaze scanning your body. 

Sure enough when you opened your eyes, Kirishima was in front of you, gazing at you lovingly with half lidded eyes. Your top clung to your chest in all the right ways and the way you were laying accentuated your curves, to Kirishima you look delicious. Kirishima started towards you, crawling onto the couch beside you and snuggling himself between your thick legs, having his head rest on your plush chest. The slow up and down of your breathing both calmed him down and spurred him on more. You look at his flustered face, amused at how heated he was. Had you done something while you were drunk? Pushing that thought aside you accepted Kirishima, softly petting his head and running your fingers through his hair, making him sigh. His barely audible mumbles of praise and ‘I love you’ made you smile. He buried his face into your chest as you rubbed away his tension. 

Slowly he tugged at the neck of your shirt, pulling it down slightly so he could kiss up your collarbone. His kisses made you shiver, you could feel the lust and need oozing out of him. He rotated so that you were on top on him, pressed against him in the most tantalizing way. His lips traveled up your neck and your jaw until they reached your lips. He met you with a passionate kiss, hungry and desperate. He hiked your thighs around his waist, standing up and walking towards the bedroom, his lips never leaving yours. No matter how heavy you were, Kirishima was stronger. He never had an issue lifting you and the way he did it made it seem so easy. 

He set you down on the bed and then crawled around you so that he was laying down behind you. You glanced back at him questioningly but the look on his face frightened you. He had a lazy grin and a mischievous glint in his eye, something enjoyable on his mind. 

“What is it Kiri?” you asked hesitantly, afraid of what you were about to find out. At your question he grinned wider, his sharp teeth sparkling in the dimly lit room. He pulled you close to him and leaned into your ear

“I want you to ride my face” he purred, happy with his idea. At his words you turned beet red, shaking your head aggressively and backing up slightly. This was definitely not what you expected. He pouted at your discontent with his idea.

“Baby please, you would look so good on top of me and you taste so good. God I want you in my mouth” He assured you, tugging you closer to him again.

“What if I hurt you? Eiji you know I’m too big for this.” you sighed, disappointed too. Maybe in a different scenario but this could never happen.

“Hurt me?” he laughed. Your eyes popped open, shocked by his change in demeanor. 

“Do you know what I would give to suffocate in these thighs?” he asked, squeezing your leg with love, but his grip was a little hard. 

“Just get on top of my face, if it doesn't work then we’ll stop, I promise” he reassured, stroking your back and coaxing you on top on him. Your will broke at his words, after all his idea was appetizing to you too. You took your pants off, tossing them in a far corner before situating yourself on the red head’s shoulders. He grabbed the back of your thighs, drawing you closer to his face. You couldn't help but turn away, despite the number of times you guys have had sex, Kiri’s pure love and devotion to you made you squirm. 

He licked a wet stripe up your panties suddenly, causing you to gasp. On instinct, your hips rutted back into his face and he chuckled, you muttered apologies, embarrassed by your lack of composure, You went to climb off of him, ready to go hide away but not before Kirishima could grab your hips with a bruising grip. Your head snapped back in his direction.

“You're not going anywhere kitten, we haven't even started.” He pulled your panties to the side and the cold air against your exposed core made you shiver. At the sight of your glistening cunt he licked his lips and got to work.

His tongue pressed flat against your cunt, licking heated and hungry stripes up you. He’d go down to tease your entrance and then up to circle your clit, sucking lightly and grazing it with his teeth. The pattern he created left you on a rollercoaster of feelings, moaning, mewling and dragging yourself against his face. Every time your hips stuttered and you got close he’d pull away to focus somewhere else. You whined, aggravated by his teasing. Some time passed and he kept his rhythm, never letting you finish. By now you were fuming, boiling over with rage.

“Eiji what the fuck” you spat when he changed stopped again for the umpth time. He looked up at you with the most innocent eyes, trying to convey his confusion with his mouth still buried in you.

“Why won’t you let me finish? I want to cum, please Eiji, make me cum” You purred. If he was gonna be like this then you would play his game. At your words something sparked in his eyes. His hips rutted up from the bed, your affect washing over his entire body. He curled one of his hands away from your thigh and prodded your entrance with his thick fingers. Slipping two in easily he watched in awe as emotions flashed past your eyes and you ground yourself down onto them.

“Yeah, fuck yourself on my fingers, just like that baby” He murmured, causing you to go faster. He attached his lips to your clit, sucking with all of his might. His tongue flicked over your sensitive bud, teeth grazing it. His name flowed from your mouth as you humped down onto him, trying to snap the tightly wound coil that has been building up since you guys began. He pushed his fingers in a little deeper, twisting them and curling them right where you wanted him. This sent you flying over the edge, cussing and moaning as your orgasm hit you like a bus. He coaxed you through it, slowing his attack and letting you come down gently.

You slide off of his face, laying down in the bed beside him, still panting. Rolling over on your side, you nuzzle in his neck, placing your hand on his broad chest and basking in your post-orgasm glow. A nice familiar haze settled over you, happiness and lust blurring together.

“Thank you Eiji, that was amazing.” you breathed. He laughed lightly when he turned to you, a pleased expression on your face. 

“Of course, I don’t know who enjoyed it more, me or you.” He smiled, fond thoughts of you racing his mind. You kiss his neck, flitting around and placing butterfly pecks all over him. He giggles at your antics, rubbing your back encouragingly. 

“I love you, you know that right?” he asked, kissing your forehead and tilting your chin up so you would meet his eyes. You beamed up at him.

“I love you too”

[dubersbutt]

I have a couple ideas for the poly fic

1. Telling them you love them like when you first told Leon or whatever?

2. Stealing their clothes?

3. Them taking care of a hurt you?

Words: 1.4K

Warnings: none - all fluff

1) Telling Leon you love him

One of the first things Leon learns in your relationship is that you have really bad periods. He feels his heart ache every time he sees you curled up in bed or on the couch. Especially when you manage to lift your head long enough to ask for water and he can see the trails of tears on your cheeks. He and Connor have done extensive research into alleviating period cramps, but nothing seems you help you.

They keep a heat pad plugged in behind the bed so you can roll over and grab it during the night, but in the day you usually prefer to have one of them lay on your stomach - kinda like a weighted blanket.

Leon's sitting with you in his lap on the couch, your legs are wrapped around his waist tightly. He can feel your breath against his neck as he runs his hand over your back.

"You okay?" he asks after you haven't moved a muscle in about 10 minutes.

"Sometimes I manage to orient myself and my uterus calms down," you say, voice soft, "I'm afraid if I move I'll anger her."

He kisses the top of your head, settling deeper into the couch as he realizes he'll be there for a while.

"I'm sorry," you say, "If you want me to get up I will."

"Don't apologize," he says, "I'll stay here as long as you need me."

He meant it. He'd be your cuddle post as long as you wanted him to be there. Plus, if you were sleeping on him then Connor would have to be the one who has to go grocery shopping in -30º.

"I love you," he almost doesn't hear it, how softly you whisper the words, "And I'm not just saying this because I'm emotional. I-i've been wanting to say it for a while."

Leon's not a super emotional person, but he legit feels like crying.

"I love you to," he responds, "And I'm not just saying that cause you look like you're on your deathbed."

You laugh, lightly swatting him on the shoulder.

"Can you tell Connor to pick up cookie dough on his way home."

~~~

Connor has much less finesse.

Leon's watching him dance behind the wheel to some godawful country song you don't let him play when you're in the car. They're high off a BOA win, but they're both positively exhausted.

"I love you," Leon says once the song ends.

He laughs when Connor's eyes go wide as he processes what was just said. His fingers tighten around the steering wheel as the panic takes over his face.

(If Leon hadn't known Connor so well he would've been scared he fucked everything up. You had even warned Leon in advance that Connor would probably be....extremely awkward at best. Connor had told you he loved you first, but not verbally. He bought a cake from the grocery store and a little tube of icing that he used to write 'I love you'. He didn't even tell you what he had done, just let you find the cake in the fridge after dinner.)

Connor clears his throat, "Cool."

"Cool?" Leon repeats, amused, "I just said I love you and that's all I get."

Connor coughs again, "Yup."

"Okay," Leon says, but rests his head against the car seat and closing his eyes.

A few moments later, Connor grabs Leon's hand and holds it on the gear shift.

"I-uh," Connor starts.

"You don't have to say it back," Leon says, rubbing his thumb over his hand, "I just want you to know."

"No-uh," he starts, "It's not that. It's-you know - I, uh. Feelings make me uncomfortable."

"Really?" Leon says sarcastically, "I never would have guessed."

The car ride is silent the rest of the way home, but not uncomfortable. Only Connor's atrocious country playlist keeping Leon from passing out.

When they finally pull into the garage, Connor shuts off the engine and closes the garage door before looking at Leon.

"I- uh, love you too," he stutters out, "I just- feelings make me feel icky."

2) Stealing clothes

"(Y/N)!," you hear Connor yell from the top of the stairs.

"Yes, Con," you yell back

"Where is my black OVO hoodie?"

"I don't know, babe," you respond, still yelling and knowing full well you're wearing the exact hoodie he's asking for.

"It's not in my closet but I did my laundry last night," his voice is quieter now as he turns the corner of the kitchen where you and Leon are eating sandwiches.

"You did your laundry?" Leon asks between mouthfuls.

"Leon did my laundry," Connor clarifies with a roll of his eyes, "Thank you, Leo, I love you, Leo. You're the best boyfriend in the world, Leo."

"I know I am."

"Then why are you asking me?" you say, waiting to see if he'll notice what you're wearing. Connor was oblivious to both the massive hoodie that drapes your frame, and also Leon's smirk as he realizes what you're doing.

"You take my stuff all the time," he says, stealing a bite of Leon's sandwich.

"Not this time, Con," you reply, trying not to laugh.

"It was there last night, and poof it's gone," Connor's face wrinkles in thought, "I don't think I wore it last night."

"I'm fairly certain you were naked most of last night," Leon pipes up.

Connor turns a deep shade of red, "Shut up."

"Aw," you say, stretching on your tippy toes to kiss his cheek, "I love that you get embarrassed talking about sex with the two people you have sex with."

"You're not funny," he says, trying to steal another bite of Leon's sandwich.

"Get your own," Leon exclaims, pulling away.

"I'm not that hun-" he stops short, narrowing his eyes at you.

"You turd!" he says pointing at his hoodie, "You're wearing my hoodie."

"Turd?" you exclaim, unable to control your laughter, "What are you 13?"

"You stole my hoodie and then didn't tell me you we wearing it," he says, exasperated, "That is prime turd behaviour."

"I want it back."

"Yeah," you ask, arching an eyebrow, "Come take it from me."

3) You being hurt

"I can't believe you broke your ankle tripping over Bowie," Leon says, shaking his head as he fluffs the pillow that's elevating your leg.

"First of all, it's a fracture," you say, "Second of all, your dog has no manners. He walked in front of me when I was bringing in the big delivery box -which you ordered ,we don't need patio furniture, it's winter Leon - and I didn't want to step on him."

"Don't blame my son," Leon says, indignant, "And the furniture was on sale."

"You make 8 million dollars!" you exclaim, "You can pay full price for some chairs."

~~~

"Connor," you call, using your pleasing voice, "Can you pretty please make me an iced coffee."

"Sure," he says, getting up from his spot beside you.

"Connor, no," Leon says, "She needs to start moving around, doctor said."

You pout at Connor, "But it always tastes so much better when you make it."

You're not even lying, for whatever reason Connor's always tasted so good even though he didn't do anything differently.

"Connor," Leon says, voice commanding, "you're coddling her."

"It's an iced coffee, that's hardly enough exercise to strengthen her ankle," Connor replies, pulling out your favourite Starbucks cup from the cupboard.

5 minutes later you wink at Leon as you take a sip of your perfect iced coffee.

~~~

"You have the audacity to say I'm coddling her," Connor exclaims in disbelief, "I made her an iced coffee. Look at you!"

So you had asked Leon to carry you from your office to the bedroom, but you probably would've done it even if you weren't injured.

"We have a lot of stairs. She said her foot was hurting," Leon shrugs, continuing his trek to the room, puppies trailing along behind him.

"Don't be jealous, Con," you call from over the railing, "Leo will carry you up the stairs too, if you ask nicely enough."

Connor just shakes his head, following you up the stairs. Leon lets you down on the soft carpet of your room and you hobble your way to the closet, ready to change into pyjamas. When you return to the master, Connor and Leon are already snuggled in the bed. You make your way to the bed as fast as you can.

"You little liar!" Leon exclaims, "You told me your foot hurt too much to walk up the stairs."

You shrug, taking your spot in the middle of the bed, "I stretched the truth so my strong, hot boyfriend would carry me. Sue me."

Cabin Fever, Part One

Yandere Prompt #3: I know they’re uncomfortable, but bare with it for a while. Please?

Requested by no one. I just wanted to write this myself. 

Mirio Togata x Fem!Reader x Tamaki Amajiki

I was originally going to do this as a one-shot, but then my imagination got the better of me and it started to get too long. I don’t want to make you read through a mile of text before you get to the NSFW content, so I’ll write a second part featuring that. There’s some saucy stuff at the end with implications of dub con/non con, but the heavier stuff will come in the second part. 

More Prompts

Part Two

Your eyelids cracked open. You awoke in the back of a car, arms pinned behind your back. City lights all disappeared in favor of giants made of pine lit by moonlight and a huge scattering of stars. A thick woolen blanket was wrapped around you and an actual pillow was placed under your head. With the way you were positioned, you couldn’t see the driver except for the back of his seat. Despite the warmth of the blanket, your feet were cold. That was likely due to the fact that your kidnapper took off your shoes and left your feet bare. 

Shuffling around in the backseat, you tried to squirm. You wanted to move your arms and pull the blanket off you, but you couldn’t. The blanket muffled a dull metal sound. As your senses slowly came back to you, you felt cold metal snapped around your wrists. 

Panic set in quickly. You tried to sit up, however you were so wrapped up in the blanket that you couldn’t move. Like a human burrito. It might have been endearing if you weren’t stuck in the back of a car with your wrists handcuffed behind your back. You craned your neck this way and that to make out even the barest of glances at your captor to no avail. He was quite throughly protected by his large driver’s seat or being very lean and sneaky himself. 

“Where are we going? Who the hell are you?” 

Your captor made no response. He switched on the radio to tune you out. In your predicament, trying to fight would get you hurt or killed. The best way to survive now was to use your brains. Trapped as you were, you could take this time to come up with something. But first, you had to remember how you managed to get into this in the first place. You laid back down, half-listening to whatever happened to be on the radio, and racked your brain. The last thing you recalled was stepping into a parking garage. There was someone with you...who was it? 

You couldn’t move your head high enough to even check the time on the dash. It must have been a while because you found yourself falling asleep again. You didn’t wake up until the vehicle came to stop. You only noticed because the trees stopped zooming past you and the radio turned off. The driver side door closing loudly startled you awake. Your blood was pumping. Your first instinct was to start kicking when your captor came to get you, but that would have only worked if he approached the other side. The door closest to your head was pulled open. A bright light stood overhead, blinding you. It didn’t help the fact that your captor wore a dark hood to prevent you from getting a good look at him. 

With ease and the strength of ten men, you remained in your fuzzy woolen burrito as you were pulled out of the backseat. He heaved you unto his shoulder like a potato sack. You didn’t see much in the dark, however when you looked, your heart sank. Trees, even in the night, were all you could see. Looking up, the number of stars made you believe that you were far from the nearest town. There were too many of them in the sky for you to think you could hitch a ride somewhere and get a hold of the police. You were miles and miles away from civilization. 

Gravel crunched underneath your captor’s feet as he hiked up a little hill. It gave way to carved stone path. It wound its way to a set of wooden stairs. It took those without ever losing his breath while carrying you. Keys jingled. He unlocked a door, which he swung open. 

Cool night air gave way to stifling warmth. You watched as woodwork and rugs greeted you as your head helplessly dangled against his back. You could hear a crackling fire place. Somewhere in the house, someone was making dinner. You smelt the cooking of beef, spices, and bread overwhelm the air. You wriggled while still on top of your captor’s shoulder. He turned into what looked like a living room where he settled you on the couch. At last, he began to peel off the blanket that was slowly cooking you alive now that you were in such a warm room heated by an actual fire. 

“Tamaki, is that you?” Footsteps. 

Wait. You knew that voice. But more importantly...

You whipped your head behind you. Sure enough, Tamaki was there. He didn’t have the guts to turn away for shame or guilt. There was a bright red color to his cheeks, but he almost looked pleased with himself. You opened your mouth to speak but was cut short by the other person entering the room.

“I wasn’t expecting...what is y/n doing here?” Mirio stood there, dumbfounded. He looked like he was in the middle of making the dinner that smelled so lovely. The image was complete with the dish rag thrown over his shoulder and the smear on his cheek. 

“I-I’m sorry, Mirio. I couldn’t...I couldn’t control myself. I couldn’t wait,” answered Tamaki. 

It came back to you. You had been walking to your car, alone at night. But the parking garage never had security issues nor would you be a target. Plus, a pro-hero agency was across the street. Blood drained from your face. The agency belonged to Mirio and Tamaki. 

Mirio’s shifted between you and Tamaki. His face was drawn in what looked like disappointment. For a moment, you thought that you were about to see a fall out between friends because Tamaki had taken a joke too far or had gone off the deep end. You expected for Mirio to start a fight and take you to safety, but then he opened his mouth again. 

“It was too soon to bring her here. I told you we needed more time. Now, her co-workers will think something terrible happened to her. Tamaki, what were you thinking?” 

Too soon? More time? Just when you thought that you were saved, Mirio dashed your hope like fragile glass. He still looked disappointed but not because he friend did something highly immoral and illegal. You shuddered to think what they planned out if Tamaki had followed along with it instead of grabbing you prematurely. Mirio walked to the couch and knelt in front of you. The contrast of a man plotting to kidnap you and the image on his knees before you was almost too much for your mind to take. 

"This wasn't quite what I imagined, Y/N, but..." Mirio rubbed circles in your knees. "We'll just have to make the best of it, won't we?"

You shrank out of his reach and pulled your legs up to your chest. You stared in shock at him, one of the top heroes. He graduated near the top of his class how could he consider kidnapping a choice he could make.

"You have to let me go. I won't say anything and we'll forget all about this, but you have to let me go. Now."

Mirio shook his head. "If we did that, you'd move far away and that would be too painful. That is if you don't lie and sneak off to the police. Or Deku. You'd tell him the moment you got the chance."

Your blood ran cold. 

Mirio stood up. His smile no longer any kind of warmth or kindness for you. He turned to head back to the kitchen. 

“I better get back to cooking. I’ll have to make another portion on the spot. I wasn’t expecting more than two plates,” said Mirio. 

That left you alone with Tamaki. Unfortunately, he wasn’t talking to you. He wedged himself into the corner furthest away from you and stuck his head against the wall. This behavior of his would normally invoke pity in you. You hated to see him like that, so afraid to look another person in the face. You couldn’t feel such a way now, not with your hands handcuffed behind your back. Mirio didn’t return for a while to announce dinner. Only when you were at the dinner table did Tamaki gingerly uncuff one of your hands. He released your dominant hand so you could eat but cuffed the other end to the dining room chair’s arm. You pouted at the instrument of your imprisonment. 

“I promise we’ll explain later,” said Mirio. 

You almost didn’t want to eat. You could have thrown the plate in front of you across the table, then thought better of it. Two strong pro-heroes and you didn’t even a good quirk to beat them back. You didn’t have a quirk at all. You were a lamb in a lion’s den. Choosing the path of least resistance, you ate quietly. Tamaki reached over to the hand he cuffed to the chair. He was shaking and couldn’t be brave enough to look at your face. You felt his sweaty, clammy palm hold your hand in his shaky grip. All you could do was play along for now.

The minutes ticked by and slowly, so slowly, turned into hours. Immediately after dinner, Mirio and Tamaki were preparing to go to bed. You were still handcuffed to the dining room chair. You watched them tidy up and wash the dishes as if you weren't trapped in their house in the middle of the woods. But the time eventually came when Mirio uncuffed you and rubbed your wrists. He was smiling so genuinely, but it didn't escape your notice that he put the handcuffs in his back pocket.

Mirio gently took your hand guided you to the bedroom. He went to the dresser and pulled out a large flannel shirt.

Handing it to you, Mirio said, "I'll be right back. You can change in here. I promise I won't peak."

He turned, exited, and closed the door. You looked down at the shirt in your hands. You didn’t trust him, not with that quirk of his. To think once upon a time you were ecstatic that he was able to get his quirk back. Now, it only reminded you that he could take a peek if he really wanted to and might not even notice until it was too late. But you were shivering in your thin shirt and jeans. You ditched your clothes and put on the flannel shirt that reached to the top of your thigh. A few minutes later the bedroom door swung open again. Tamaki and Mirio had both changed as well. Tamaki wore a matching set of blue flannel pajamas while Mirio opted for dark gray sweatpants and no shirt. 

Mirio was behind you in a second pulling your wrists together behind your back. You struggled for a minute before the cuffs were snapped right back on. He rubbed your arms as he guided you to the large bed big enough for a six-person orgy. Before you knew it, you were nestled between Tamaki against your back and Mirio pressed against your front. Mirio was the one who kept his arms around you while Tamaki buried his face in you shoulder. None of this stopped you from wriggling around and trying to snap the handcuffs. 

“I-I know they’re uncomfortable,” Tamaki murmured against your skin. “J-just, just bare with it for a while. Please?” 

That didn’t stop you from wriggling around. You brushed against Tamaki’s crotch, making him hiss. Then, something hard pushed against your lower back. Mirio’s hand snaked its way to the back of your head where his fingers gently coiled in your hair. He titled your head up to make you look him in the eyes. Your struggles ceased. 

“Tamaki, I think we should do something to help Y/N simmer down and go to sleep. She won’t be wriggling around so much if she releases some of that pent up energy.” 

“D-Do you think so?” Asked Tamaki. 

“It wouldn’t hurt to try!” Mirio kissed you on the mouth, tongue brushing your lips before forcing its way past them.

Goats Gone Wild

The rehearsals went perfectly, despite everyone saying that it might fall apart and completely spiral out of control and that would to be expected as it was rehearsal and gave them time to fix it. The flower arrangements were gorgeous, Jagged cried when he saw his official wedding suit and Penny had successfully been conned into taking an actual spa day to relax and have a great time with the ladies in her wedding party. 

Tom and Sabine were of course on cake duty in providing other food and refreshments for the big day. With them in charge no one was concerned that the seasoned caterers would have any trouble. The tables and chairs were tastefully decorated and with just enough 'rock n' roll' vibe for Jagged to not complain too much because Jagged always be Jagged.

Of course, for the power duo of the music world, fate may have approved for them to meet, fall in love and live long enough to plan the wedding but it didn't have to be nice all the time. A small mishap and the power was out most of the night, delaying everything from food to simply getting ready for most of the practical preparations. 

Marinette was running on no sleep, no faith and after the power outage, no coffee. Everyone had their wedding clothes and the weather predicting rain at some point made it seem like a tiny accomplishment. Those who had cars to drive would be fine and most could take extra passengers but it would take some people two trips. She had spoken to her Maman and Papa already, they had put the cake in the deep freeze plus had a gas/solar powered generator to offer a space for others in the wedding party.

She still had no idea who would be escorting her down the aisle to fulfill her Maiden of Honor duty, there wasn't time to meet him now because they were sorely behind schedule. Pushing the thought to the side, Marinette slipped into a chic dress but not the one for the ceremony. That was safely at the venue they had booked just in case they needed a place to relocate. Sending up a quick prayer and a threat that this would be a memorable day, Marinette grabbed her clutch and left her apartment.

Marinette could distantly hear her phone ringing even though it was right besides her. She had yet to exit the safety of her car as she watched the chaos unfold. There was a small zoo of animals running around and Jagged was riding a llama, Fang happily scaring the poor creature. Nimbly she picked up her still ringing phone and answered it.

"H-hello?"

"Is this Marinette?"

"Yes I'm Ma-ma-Marinette… Who are you?"

"Ah I'm Luka the best man, Jagged and Penny paired us to walk down the aisle together. Things are uh pretty chaotic and I haven't seen you yet so just making sure you're not the one getting cold feet."

"No, I uh just pulled up. Where did the petting zoo come from?"

"Jagged's idea."

"You know, sometimes I forget he's technically a Couffaine then he pulls shit like this. Where is Anarka when I need the courage to slam his famous and insured face?" Her neck gave up trying to support her head and she let it flop forward to blare her horn, startling the llama and delighting Jagged as he fought to stay seated.

"I'll come to you." Luka's voice was actually soothing and calmed Marinette's nerves enough to move her head to the steering wheel. Distant sounds of goats screaming at each other and the loudness that was Jagged seeped into her quiet space within the car. A light knock on the window drew her from her quiet place within her mind, and Marinette emerged from her car instead of just rolling down the window.

Luka was tall and slender, ocean blue eyes matched the tips of his hair and would match the color of her dress for the ceremony perfectly. He radiated a soft aura that drew her into staring for longer than appropriate.

"Well hello there fair Maiden of Honor."

"Ah yes hello mysterious Best Man. Would you happen to know how bad things are?" The designer bravely faced the stream of messages on her phone, some only minutes old and others hours old. Asking for an update methodically from everyone individually, she let Luka guide her into the venue.

"Jagged is currently trying to convince Penny to keep a llama or a goat from the petting zoo, half of the guests are either not coming at all or left because of the chaos you see around you. The wedding party is here and just enough people to provide witnesses and news coverage. One of the photographers had to back out and the fill in is allergic to the flowers, his only allergy actually, nice guy otherwise. The goats have eaten some of the décor and their fearless mountain climbing leader took off with the ring pillow."

"Where the rings are sewed on… So at this point, the cake is the only thing safe. I can work with that, first let's find Penny because I'm sure her blood pressure is through the roof, next we need to remove the flowers that are a problem, if Ivan is here then he has the fake bouquets in his van and we can put those inside and have the photographer that's not allergic take the pictures outside. Jagged will be Jagged but when it's time he will behave and only have eyes for Penny so let him do his thing. We need to find the rings so get as many people looking for them as we can. Once I check on Penny I'll figure out the rest, I'm getting updates and rearranging as we speak."

"You know, this is kind of weird for me…" Sky blue eyes met ocean and time suspended again for a moment, "I know Jagged considers you like his unofficial niece so it makes it weird that you are absolutely beautiful and I feel like he might try to kill me for just being around you."

"N-no it's fine! I mean he chose after all, if he has a problem I'll take a page from the captain's book!" A blush graced her pale cheeks, accenting the light blush she had applied earlier. "Now go be a Best Man and make sure the groom doesn't sign his life away and marry a llama instead."

"Aye aye fair maiden." Luka winked and parted ways, leaving Marinette’s heart racing more than it was before.

"Stupid pretty boy with their stupid smiles… Penny, are you in here?" Marinette knocked on the door, waiting until it opened.

"Hey Mari, I knew what would happen when I said yes to Jagged but please no more animals."

"Don't worry, no more animals. The cake is fine but I need to find your rings which I guess a goat ran off with?" 

"Yeah, Jagged wanted to get a picture and the goat took advantage." Penny laughed and resumed her seat where Jean-Luc was already fixing her make-up.

"So this is going to be Plan P?" Marinette teased, taking a moment to change into the other dress.

"You bet! Once the circus is over here we will all meet up at your parents bakery for cake and food." Penny winked carefully, causing the younger woman to giggle.

"Let me go find those rings." Throwing on some flats, Marinette left the room with a wave and headed outside. If the goat was a mountain goat then he was probably hidden with the trees. Hiking up her skirt and trekking through the mud that was somehow everywhere and followed the distant sounds of child-like screaming.

There stood the goat, calming chewing on the ring pillow and staring at her with it's judgmental eyes.

"Okay, you give that back right now."

"MAAAAAA!!!" It bleated loudly before resuming its speedy chewing

"Don't make me do this…" The designer tried to get closer and the goat kept retreating with every step. "Oh come on! You know, what fine!"

"MAAAAAA!!" It screamed again and she took the chance to lunge and tackled the goat into the mud. Trying to get a solid grip on the ring piow was difficult as the goat kept trying to kick here or just rip the pillow in two, she wouldn't mind that much, after all it's the rings she was after.

"Just give me the rings and you can keep the stupid pillow you ugly stupid goat!" Marinette grunted as it became a test of tug of war, the sound of fabric ripping made her panic and kick the goat. It worked to get the goat to let go but it charged her and screamed in her face. The sound covered up the approach of the two men.

"Uh Marinette, why are you wrestling with a goat?"

"Oh you know, thought I would try my hand at it, have you seen these guns from gator chasing," She flexed one arm a couple times, "or how about these legs?" Hiking her skirt up wasn't her best idea ever but it was so worth the blush and cute word vomit from her wedding date.

"I uh well, yeah. I mean- you look hot as IN YOU'LL NEED TO COOL OFF BEFORE THE WEDDING!" Luka groaned and covered his eyes in shame.

"Oi mate, are you ogling my goat?" Dingo slapped his back, nearly causing the musician to topple into the mud with Marinette and the goat who resumed chewing on the ring pillow it had stolen, the rings recovered sneakily.

"Okay, the arch can burn for all I care and maybe fry up some bacon if we're lucky." She accepted Luka's help to get up and onto a less muddy patch of grass. The trio made their way back, Dingo as she learned, was fond of Napoleon and argued the entire way back.

"I'll 'ave you know that pigs are some the best pets!"

"No way, Hamster all the way! You can't even own one in the city unless it's a teacup pig and why would you even want one?"

"Oi! All pigs are cool, you can't just love one kind because that's not true devotion!" 

"Will you two stop-" Luka froze as the smell of smoke wafted closer and squinted thoughtfully. Was that, yup the arch was burning. 

"Great, Plan P is fully in action now!" The maiden of honor groaned, slapping her hands over her mud smeared face.

"Oh god no! Please spare Napoleon! No bacon at this wedding!" Dingo sprinted across the field to where the pigs were kept.

"Well let's find the bride and groom and get the hell outta here." Luka proposed, calmly walking the rest of the way with Marinette keeping pace. There was a firefighter giving directions to everyone to stand far away from the building and the burning arch.

"Well this is not what I expected…" A tall blond muttered to himself, standing apart from the rest of the group.

"Well it is a Couffaine wedding, they are chaos magnets." Marinette joked, attempting to rid herself and dress of the half dried dirt clods.

"Well Jagged has always been… Unique. Good to see you again Marinette."

"I resent that, Jagged is the dumpster fire and Penny is the best and craziest person on earth since she somehow agreed to marry that mess."

"Uh, who are you?"

"Me? Wait, Marinette don't tell me you're mad at me again!"

"Luka what on earth-"

"This is why I told Pa it was better if we didn't show up to his wedding, your anger issues. First you nearly gave poor Nona a scare when you wanted to eat Napoleon, then set the arch on fire and lastly took off after Samuel, a poor defenseless goat."

"Uh how do you know each other?"

"Oh this again?! Lemme tell you, this little spitfire is my wife and she's been pissed at me ever since our arranged marriage was official on paper."

"Luka! That's enough!" The mud on her face hid the blush but the tips of her ears were it began to flake glowed red.

"Baby, you know we're supposed to talk when you're angry with me, that was the agreement."

"Shove it up your ass!"

The wail of sirens startled the three adults but what nearly knocked them over was a blur of neon green, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"HELP ME MATE, I CAN'T GO BACK! IT'S NOT SAFE!!"

The station was filled with a workflow hum as the entire wedding party and a few guests waited in the cell block for someone to explain why everyone had been arrested and brought in. Marinette had made use of the sink and cleared off as much dirt from her being as she could. Penny was steadily ignoring Jagged who at this point had been pleading with her and trying to get a straight answer if they would still be tying the knot or not. 

"Couffaine! You're next!" The Sargent growled, shuffling paperwork around. Roger was slowly trying to inch away to not be caught in the crossfire and pulling the rookie away with him.

"Uh which one sir?"

"What do you mean which one?! Just Couffaine!" The Sargent snapped, taking a deep pull of his coffee. When he looked up to see a group of people his face went stone blank.

"Okay so uh, maybe start with the charges and we can help decipher the correct Couffaine?" The petite Chinese woman bite her lip in nerves, echoed by the blond dressed in a matching pink dress. Glancing around he saw a slender woman holding the hand of said blonde in pink, also in a nice party dress. A man with purple hair to match, oh Jagged Stone, was dressed in a suit with a spin. Another woman with purple hair standing next to him and dressed in the more elaborate gown. He easily recognized Anarka by her grey hair and fierce glare, even if she was cleaned up nicely. To the left of the only one brave enough to speak was a young man, a flower in his lapel matching the one on her dress but with light blue tipped hair. Behind him was a kid with a mohawk that nearly grazed the ceiling and a slender brunette who was trying to keep from bouncing around the cell.

"Sorry Sargent…?" The woman tried again, offering a hesitant smile.

"Sargent Le Grand and you are who?"

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng  uh Couffaine." He blinked twice and looked back through the paperwork.

"Why the hell did no one even specify male or female for the perp?! Or a first name, even an initial would be helpful!"

"Sorry Sarge, I uh just -"

"Forget it rookie, there are a pile of complaints and I can't read them aloud so why don't you tell me what you're in trouble for and I'll find the ticket?"

"Uh that's just it sir… We were all rounded up at the wedding and brought here with no explanation."

"I do not get paid enough for this." He downed the remaining coffee and left the desk, making his way into his office.

"Oi where are you goin'?! You can't keep us cage like a bunch of goats!" The mohawk kid finally escaped the brunette and rattled the jail bars.

"Someone figure out these charges and get them out of my cell!" Sargent le Grand promptly got up and went into his office, slamming the office door shut.

“Roger, why donna ya be a good boy and let me and me crew out of here? You know we have the Boat Fund for when you’re hoititty rules and our love of chaos clash.”

“Anarka, I really do have to charge the tickets before we can discuss payment. uh, “ Roger glanced at the Sargent’s door and saw it still closed. “Okay so we have one charge of setting public property on fire, one count of illegal animal petting zoo, “

“He said he was rock ‘n roll with her permits!”

“One count  of naming your pig Napoleon, haven’t seen that in a while…”

“Oi! I can name my piggy whatever I please!”

“Two counts of animal abuse, one for feeding the goats pillows and one for what’s assumed trying to bury it alive,”

“Oh please, I had to chase it through the woods and mud because it took off with the pillow in the first place!”

“One count for act of terrorism, this one being related to flowers and serious life-threatening allergy,”

“He was a fill in, he signed the disclosure and those charges are bogus.”

“And to wrap it up, one count of illegally sailing in the city.”

“Give me Liberty or give me death!”

“I’m just going to mark all this down and charge the fund. I do apologize for having to crash your wedding Mister Stone and Miss Rolling, I do hope you have plans to finalize your commitment.” Roger opened the cell door and everyone filed out, Dingo sticking his tongue out before being smacked by three different hands.

“Oi!”

“Oi nothing fashion hazard!” Marinette snapped, moving to the front of the group. “Here’s what we’re going to do, everyone is going to quietly make their way to my parents bakery which is just a couple blocks away. While we are there, we can take turns cleaning up and then enjoy a nice meal and some delicious cake that Papa has worked so hard to make perfect for today. At this point, if someone is ordained and could marry them while at my parents house that would at least complete my to-do list.”

“I got ya mate! Let’s gooooo!” Dingo whooped and took off running while Brielle shared a look with Luka before following.

“Well definitely a memorable day wouldn’t you say Marinette?” Penny asked as she slipped her arm around the younger’s.

“I’ll say… You aren’t thinking of having spawns with him are you?”

“Hey, rock n roll is the life for me, no worries my favorite rock n roll designer!” Jagged chimed in, pausing his argument with the Captain for a moment.

“Aye, with Juleka and Luka that’s all the extra chaos he needs.”

“Uh I can explain…” Luka hunched over and raised his shoulder’s to hide somewhat.

“Wedding first then you can use the rest of the time to explain.”

Ransom Thrombey x Reader...

Warnings: Smut, Ransom being an asshole, slightly non-con in part, theft.

Pairing: Ransom x Reader

**********************************************

You rolled your eyes with a scoff at the *Be careful* text that had come through to your phone from your best friend. It was in reference to Ransom Thrombey.

The guy whose car you were sat in, speeding towards his place.

You were fully aware of how much of an absolute asshole he was. You were casual acquaintances. And usually you would have kept your distance. But he was hot. He wasn't your ex. He also wasn't the slimy guy at the bar who wouldn't take no for an answer. Who else where you meant to fuck.

*He's a A grade asshole* was the following text. You quietly snorted to yourself and replied with *I know. I'll be fine*

"What?“ Ransom asked, with a quick glance your way. His eyes didn't reach your face, just your exposed thigh above your boots and below your cream dress that stopped just above mid thigh.

"Nothing, just calling off the search party for me" you mumble, throwing your phone into your small clutch and snapping it shut.

"You're hot property" he commented - sounding proud he managed to snatch you away. You suppressed another eye roll and remained quiet.

***

You'd never been to Ransom's place, but it was no surprise. Asshole-trust-fund-baby's interior design taste seemed to be obvious.

"Drink?“ he asked tossing his keys into a far too expensive bowl as he strut off into his house.

"Please" you were probably going to need some more alcohol to dull the asshole in Ransom. You followed him into the kitchen, eyeing the interior as you walked, your boots clicking along the floor.

"I only have red, is that okay?“

“Sure" you hated red, but then again there wasn't much to like about Ransom. A pretty face only made up for so much.

***

Where you meant to argue with someone you were about to fuck? Like really argue? You had contemplated leaving, but it was late. Plus the Uber app showed the nearest uber 30 mins away.

You had to admit it was kind of fun pissing Ransom off. He hadn't expected you to be so smart, with a good answer for everything. You had him stuck for words several times. "You got a smart mouth" he grinned, clearly annoyed at one point.

"You can't possibly believe that, but then again you did refer to me earlier as property" you sipped your drink for dramatic effect. But that only seemed to piss Ransom off more - turning his words against him.

He was clearly more annoyed that you realised because his next move was to toss the contents of the wine glass in his hand in your direction. The red liquid instantly soaked into your dress. Your cream dress.

That's how much of an asshole Ransom was. But you weren't going to get angry. Not yet anyway. You'd come this far.

You looked at the liquid running down your thigh and roughly wiped away the trail before it reached the top of your boot. You looked up at Ransom's smug face, lost for words for a moment.

"I'll have my maid clean your dress" God herself wouldn't be able to get the wine out of the dress.

"If you wanted me to take my clothes off so badly you should have just asked me already" You pushed away from the kitchen counter and walked out of the kitchen. Slowly unzipping your dress.

"Where are you going?" Ransom called after you.

"The bedroom is this way, right?"

***

Ransom was selfish, and it showed in the way he had sex. It wasn't bad, far from it. But he just did things so you would do things to him in return.

Your already scored one point - as you peeled off your ruined dress you could see that there was a moment of realisation, that with you he couldn't get away with doing the bare minimum or demand you did stuff solely for him.

He went down on you, but it was obvious it was only so you would go down on him. But that wasn't to say he was bad at it. Of course Ransom was good at everything he did.

You could feel like light stubble on his face against the inside of your thighs. He was good with his mouth, but when he added in his fingers your back arched off his bed, your hands jumping to the top of his head, messing up that perfect asshole quiff.

Even with his head between your legs, you could sense that asshole smirk. "You like that?“ he cockily asked. Your just nodded your head along with a high pitched hum. He pushed you down against his bed, and when he added a finger to the two that were already inside you it only took a few moments before your were gripping the forearm of hand that was pushing down on your stomach as you came.

You didn't want to return the favour. They way he sat on the edge of his bed, like some demanding King. Legs open, resting back on his arms and that asshole smirk. You should have grabbed up your dress and left, but then again the score was One-all and you were determined to win.

You had to admit to yourself that Ransom had a nice cock. It was nice to look at, one you'd enjoy receiving a picture of. But of course he did. It was Ransom, and you weren't going to actually tell him that.

As you knelt down between his legs, Ransom dropped down onto his elbows, you ran your hands up his bare thighs - watched his cock bounced a little as your fingers tickled his skin.

Ransom shuddered with a groan as you slowly took him in your mouth as you looked up at him, your tongue running along the underside of his cock as you leant forward taking him into your mouth. His hips jerked as he hit the back of your throat.

Soon you rid him of that smirk, and you weren't even trying hard. It was his turn to have the duvet screwed up in his hands. You watched his lower abdomen muscles twitch, impressed with the curses you managed to pull from him.

A few moments before you could tell he was about to cum, you let him slowly slide out of your mouth. When he didn't feel your mouth again, he propped himself up on his elbows, looking down at you.

You climbed on top of him, positioning yourself in his lower stomach. You watch as his eyes dart between your face, breasts and the wetness he could no doubt feel on his lower stomach where you sat.

"I was just about to cum" he whines, like a spoilt brat.

Two - One to you, maybe even Three - One. You pressed your chest against his as you leant down to kiss Ransom. He gropes at your waist as his tongue slide into your mouth.

You manage to slide your hand down between you both so you grip his cock and manoeuvre the tip just into you. A little.

When you push back on his chest, looking down at him you're little smirk puts an end to your games. Ransom is pushing his hip, quickly entering you as he's ulling you down onto him, and rolling you both over - plenty of room left on his huge custom made bed.

He bottoms out inside you, has you trying to crawl back and create some distance, but he just pins you to the bed. "You're not going anywhere" he growls.

You lose count on the internal score you have going on - is it Six-All, or Eight-Five, or Eight-Seven.

You're not sure, the orgasms have you a little confused, but you have Ransom on his back again. He has two fingers in your mouth as you start to ride him. Your press your hands into his chest, widen the stance of your knees either side of his hips, and roll your hips slowly, in a tight circle, keeping most if him inside you. He watches how you move, the other hand gripping your waist because he's not sure how you're doing that. Is it an illusion? Because it feels too good to be fake.

You let your head drop back, his fingers slipping out of your mouth as his hand slide down to your neck. He squeezes a little, not wanting to ruin the moment by being too much of an asshole at the wrong time. He feels you flutter around him, and squeezes again - maintaining the pressure, trying to hold off his own orgasm, because it's gonna be his last and he wants it to count.

You're trying to hold off your own orgasm too. Thinking of things that detract from the feeling of Ransom inside you. You're ruined dress. How much of an asshole he is. If you can order an uber so you don't have to stay the night. But all your mind keeps thinking of his how his hands grip you with the right pressure, keeping you low down in him. How he feels inside you, how you can feel all of him as you clench like your own body is trying to get more.

"Fu-k" the curse comes out broken from Ransom's mouth. His hand slips from your throat to the other side of your waist as he tries to hold you down on him so he can really bury himself inside of you. And that's all it takes to have you cuming. Your back arches, your pelvis tilting forward trying to get more. Your fingers wrap around both Ransom's forearms and dig in.

You manage to stay up right, panting in time with Ransom. Ten - Eight to you.

***

Ten-All. You don't think that because you're asleep. But it is. Because you fell asleep before you could get out of Ransom's.

Now he lays half awake next to you wishing his phone was closer so he could take a picture. You were a great catch - maybe he'll ask you back somehow.

Ransom had managed to pull the covers back down to your waist to admire you as you slept. Maybe he'd push you out of bed. Maybe he'd hold a pillow over your head for jokes. Or

He pressed up against you, running his hand from your neck, between your breasts and down your stomach. With a sigh you rolled onto your side, youre back to Ransom.

That wasn't exactly the reaction he was looking for. He shuffles up against your back. His cock sitting nicely between your ass cheeks, as his hand tickles down your stomach again. He dips his fingers between your legs and slides them along your clit, rubbing soft, slow circles.

"Good morning to you too" You mumble. Ransom doesn't verbally reply, just shoves him hand further between your legs, trying to get his fingers inside you. Your grunt, pushing him off of you.

Ransom rolls onto his back, slowly stroking himself.

"Maybe I should go" as you sit up, Ransom grabs your arm pulling you back down. There was a brief moment of struggle between you and Ransom and he ended up on top of you.

He pinned your arms over your head. "Why don't you stay for breakfast? How's eggs sound?"

You pulled your wrists from his grip, holding them against your chest. "I really doubt you can actually cook" you snorted.

You don't mean to inflame Ransom so much, but it was a statement that probably had weight.

Ransom's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed both your wrists in one of his hands, pressing them into your chest. He shifted on you slightly, grabbing himself. He started to stroke himself, maintaining eye contact with you.

"Ransom stop it" when you pushed your arms up, Ransom pushed down harder.

"Don't be disgusting" you tried to fight him off but he was stronger than you.

"Ransom, no" he pressed your wrists into your chest harder, as he quickened the pace in which he jerked himself off.

Before you could stop him, he came all over your stomach. He held you down, allowing himself to fully finish. The cum was hot against your skin. He relaxed letting go for your wrists.

"You're a fucking asshole you know that" you elbowed Ransom off of you and stormed off to the bathroom. You grabbed one of the small towels from the handrail, ran it under the hot water tap and started to clean yourself up.

Behind you, you could hear the sound of Ransom's bare feet against the heated bathroom tiles. "I'm sorry"

You glared up at him in reflection of the mirror. "You're not"

"I am, let me make it up to you" his hands found your waist, pulling you back against him. His new erection was evident, sliding between your ass cheeks as he rubbed up against you.

"I'm going to have a shower" you pushed away from him, Fleet slapping against the warm marble. You made sure to slam the door shut, happy to see him leave the bathroom after a moment.

When you stepped out of the shower Ransom was nowhere to be seen.

In just the towel you wandered through his place until you found him.

He was sat on one of his fancy single chairs, dressed. He smirked on seeing you enter the living area. The mostly glass space making you feel more vulnerable under his gaze.

"I'll call you tomorrow" Ransom hung up the phone, smirking at you.

"I'm going to ask if you cleaned my dress, even though I know the answer is no" Ransom just chuckled to himself.

"Slipped my mind"

"Guess you'll have to stick around a bit longer, unless you're gonna leave in that. Now I know you look good in anything, but a towels a stretch" his smug smile increases. But rather than give him the satisfaction of being angry you spin on your heels and walk back to the bedroom.

"No worries"

"I don't like this new you y/n, she's no fun" he calls out.

"Fuck you Ransom… Oh wait I already did" you mumble to yourself and you rip off the towel, throwing it to the ground, giving Ransom a nice view of your ass as you walked off.

You storm to his obscenely large walk in wardrobe and start rummaging around. You're pretty sure there's probably some left over female clothes you can find.

But it's not another females clothes you find.

An hour later yours slipping out of the back door for Ransom's place, dressed in more than a towel, walking across the gravel to the waiting uber. The driver greets you as you get in confirming your name and the drop off point.

You smugly smile as you feel your phone vibrating in your clutch. You slowly answer the phone, half wondering if you should let it go to voicemail.

"Yes Ransom" you know he can hear the smirk in your voice.

"Being naked won't get you 5 stars on Uber"

"Most people don't hold others hostage by taking their clothes" the Uber drivers eyes flick onto you in the rear view mirror and then back onto the road. "If you wanted me to stay you should have just asked"

"I asked you if you wanted breakfast" you snorted down the phone.

"I'm sure you'll be back for your dress anyway"

"Unlikely, tie-dye is so last year" you hang up, and open up your camera taking a snap of your new outfit and send it to Ransom.

*A little worn, but comfy. The holes give character* you add after the picture.

*I want my jumper back* is the reply. You can feel his anger even half way from his place.

*We all want a lot of things Ransom, doesn't mean we get them*

Motel Mishap

Written for @souleaterpolyamweek Soul Eater Polyamory Week 2018 Day 6- Cuddles

Soul Eater Evans, Maka Albarn, Death the Kid | Day 6 Read on FFNET or AO3

“You could have booked any other hotel, but no, you went for a friggin’ motel in the middle of nowhere!”

“It looked bigger in the pictures,” Maka whispered. She leaned over to unzip her boots, and after a good look at the carpet, she decided against it.

Soul grumbled, “This is why I told you to read the description and the reviews. Why didn’t you just let Kid book the hotel?”

“He was busy perfecting our cosplay,” she tried. “Right, Kid?”

“Don’t drag me into this.”

“Erm, are you still working on it?”

“No, I left it in the car. I don’t believe this room would be… suitable for any fine tuning.”

Exhausted and irritable, the three were in mid commute to their next convention. It was Maka’s idea to drive from Nevada to Southern California rather than book three plane tickets, and it was Soul’s to not attempt a straight shot drive. After a series of arguments and finally with Kid as the mediator, they all settled for two days of driving, one in the evening and one early morning just before the con.

When he examined the state of the motel though, Soul wished that he’d managed to convince Maka to buy plane tickets after all. It was raggedy at best; The curtains were large and looked like it harbored layers of dust, and the room didn’t have a full room light either; it had just two wall lamps by the side of the bed, hoods cracked and discolored, and the bathroom’s light. Soul was almost afraid to look into there out of fear of finding mold or worse.

Instead, he propped up their overnight bag onto the suitcase stand and took a deep breath-- but not too deep.

“This wouldn’t have happened if you booked the place yourself,” Maka said behind his back. “But you were--”

His glare stopped her in mid sentence. “Busy with packing everything else that we needed? Checking to make sure that the car had gas and was maintained so that it could make the ride? No please, go on.”

She looked down sheepishly. “I was busy, too. With checking the events and making sure we could fit in all of the meet ups and photo ops,” Maka said quietly. “Sorry. I shouldn’t’ve jumped the gun.”

Kid chimed in, “Well, it’s certainly in budget, and with Soul’s careful planning, we’ll be sure to get plenty of sleep before we need to leave again. It’s fine, it’s just for one night.” He patted Soul’s shoulder. “How bad can it be?”

Maka sighed and fiddled with the tag for complimentary toiletries at the small table. “I don’t know if that matters anymore since the bed is…” She trailed off.

“Small?” Soul finished for her. He crossed the small distance to check under the covers for bugs or stray hairs. Brandishing the lint roller, swept across the sheets and checked the pillow cases. “At least it’s not deplorable. Dunno how the heck we’re all going to fit, though.”

“Two on top and one by the feet?” Maka suggested.

“We’re not sacrificing any one of us,” Kid said, going off to check the bathroom.

“I mean, it’s my fault this happened, so I mean…”

“I said no.”

Soul eyed the chair, determined it to be too small, and then turned to the floor. “Yeah, we’re not putting any of our heads on this. I’d like us to be as far away from it as possible.” He wrinkled his nose. “Can any of us fit into the bathtub?”

“No.” Kid reemerged. “God, no. No one go in there.”

He stiffly walked to his backpack and pulled out an arsenal of cleaning products and a “disposable” hand towel. Soul stiffed, grabbing two pairs of gloves from the bag’s side pocket and his personal can of Lysol. The both of them steeled their faces and tackled the bathroom together.

“I am so sorry,” Maka called to them. For good measure, she added, “So fucking sorry, guys.”

Once they settled down for the night, the question still stood: how were all three of them going to fit on the queen sized bed? Kid suggested that they changed the orientation of the bed and slept with their heads on the longer stretch of the mattress, but couldn’t convince Maka to let her feet dangle off the side. Soul went back to the original idea, to have one person sleep at the foot, then backed out once he remembered that both he and Maka kicked off the covers if it got too warm.

No idea seemed to be the right fit, so they resigned to the shoulder-to-shoulder method, sparking another argument over who was going to be sandwiched in the center.

“Maka should be in the middle. She’s small,” Soul said, crossing his arms.

“Hell no, I like my space. Plus you both would overheat me.”

“Soul?”

“Haven’t I suffered enough?”

“Well, which side do you want then?” Kid yawned.

“Far away from the dusty A/C,” was his answer.

Maka rolled her eyes, “What’s wrong with it?”

“Didn’t you listen to me? It’s dusty; management probably hasn’t even changed the filter in years.”

“Does that really matter? We’re already all in the room.”

“Plus it’s closest to the door.”

“Again, why does that matter?”

Kid hummed, “Actually, I agree with that.”

“See?”

“Not with you, Maka. I mean, if someone were to break in, the person closest to the door would be the first to die.”

“You guys are ridiculous.”

Soul clapped his hands together. “Right, so now we know Maka doesn’t mind danger, so she can have the left side. I definitely don’t want the middle--”

“I’ll take the middle. Let’s just get to sleep,” Kid said, already climbing over.

Maka followed suit, dropping onto her side and making Kid airborne for a moment because of her impact. “Sounds good.”

Soul frowned, but the other two were already pulling the covers over themselves.

“Get the light, wouldja?”

“You two are annoying,” he grumbled, but did it anyway. He felt around in the dark, bumping into the side of the bed with his hip on his way back. However, his struggles were short lived since a hand reached over to guide him. “Thanks.”

“Just get in,” Kid said, eerily close to his ear.

He laid down and turned away from Kid and Maka, tucking the blanket up to his chin. “Night.”

“Good night,” Kid said, following suit.

“Night-o,” the last one said, turning away to face the window.

Silence fell over the room and their eyes began to fall shut. However, before anyone could drift off too far, Kid began to complain.

“I can’t get comfortable. You’re both pulling the blanket over me, and I can’t relax my shoulders.”

Maka groaned. “I thought you said you could handle the middle?”

“I said I’d take it, not handle it.” He moved onto his side, snuggling into Maka’s back.

Hearing the rustling, Soul whined, “Hey, I want to do that too.”

Kid switched over reluctantly to quell him, but didn’t mind the change. It was equally as comfortable to him. Maka, however, took full advantage. She rolled over and across to meet with Kid, fitting herself into the pair and bundling the blanket up with her.

“Better?” Maka asked.

The two had to readjust themselves and their position, but once they found a suitable place to put their arms and legs, they agreed.

With Maka big spooning the both of them and Kid sandwiched in between, Soul was a happy burrito, though he would never admit that out loud. Droopy and warm, he felt himself melt away into their arms. Forget the motel mishap, Maka tried her best. He knew that she probably felt guilty from the way she reached to hug both Kid and Soul, and he understood that she wasn’t a fan of messy rooms or dirty spaces either. She was simply making the most of what they had.

Kid was an even bigger trooper than both Maka and Soul deserved. He compromised and took charge when everything slowed to a stand still. Though he was detail oriented, he was also careful to keep everyone content. Taking the brunt of the driving before, it was expected that he would be the first to knock out.

Soul gave a soft smile to the dark and closed his eyes one more time. Perhaps tomorrow, he would take a small detour and drive them out to breakfast.

Vacation

April 5, 2019

“Tony, I want to go on a trip.” Tony stared at her in surprise from his seat across the room as they waited for the nurse to come in. “What? I think it would be nice for the three of us to get away for a few days before I cannot fly again for 3 more months. Plus it would be our last vacation with just me, you, and Tali. Please Tony?” She looked at him with puppy dog eyes that he couldn’t resist and now he knew where Tali learned it from. He just laughed and shook his head.

“Like I could say no to you Ziva.” Tony walked next to her bed and leaned down, pressing a kiss to the crown of her head. “Besides, I think a vacation would be amazing. Do you think you’ll still be able to fly?”

“As long as my due date has not moved up by a month, then I’m still in my second trimester and able to fly. Although I would like to ask my doctor first and get her opinion.” A knock on the door interrupted their thoughts as Dr. Thomas came in.

“How are we today?” After the couple replied with synchronized “goods,” the doctor continued. So, you’re 25 weeks now Ziva, how have things been going since the last time we met?”

Ziva thought back for a moment to almost a month ago, the last time she had had an appointment. “Well, I started having morning sickness. It started one night after I ate too much watermelon and has not stopped since. I had hoped that, since it did not happen in my first trimester, I had gotten lucky this time but, wishful thinking I suppose.”

“And how often has it been occurring?” Ziva looked to Tony for help, trying to remember just how much time she had spent emptying her stomach in the past month.

“I think it’s been almost every day. I know I usually hear her get up around 5 or 6 in the morning and rush to the bathroom. When it first happened I thought maybe it was just from all the food she ate that morning but it’s been happening a lot since then, even when she hasn’t eaten anything since dinner.” Ziva looked down sheepishly before turning to her husband.

“Well, that may not exactly be true.” At his look of confusion she elaborated. “Since then I may have been waking up in the middle of the night for a little, snack.”

“What? But, I’ve never heard you get up or felt the bed move until you’re waking up in the morning.”

“Yes well, I have kind of been keeping snacks in my nightstand drawer and, under my pillow.” She looked at Tony ashamed and he just shook his head, smiling at his wife.

“Well, I guess it’s better than keeping a gun under your pillow.” Ziva just smiled, then turned her attention to her doctor when she cleared her throat.

“You two are my most interesting patients, always getting so wrapped up in one another I believe you forget anyone else is in the room.” Tony and Ziva looked at each other with sparks in their eyes, being all too familiar with their actions, before turning to look at their doctor. “Anyway, I believe we have figured out where this morning sickness is coming from. Ziva, try to avoid snacking in the middle of the night. If you do feel hungry, drink a bottle of water and try something bland to avoid getting sick in the morning. If you try this and are still getting sick in the morning, then it is just your everyday morning sickness that comes with the joys of being pregnant.” Ziva nodded and promised to follow the doctor’s orders and cut down on her midnight snacking. “Now, how about we get to the fun part, the ultrasound. So, are we wanting to find out the gender today since little one was stubborn last time?”

“No. Tony and I have discussed it and we would like to be surprised.” She looked to Tony for confirmation and he nodded, agreeing with his wife.

“Okay, well let’s get started.” Ziva laid back on the bed, pulling her shirt up to allow for the sonogram. She squirmed at the feel of the gel, something she never was able to get used to. All eyes were on the screen as Dr. Thomas moved the wand around Ziva’s stomach, pointing out arms and legs. The baby was stubborn yet again, not allowing them to tell the gender even if they wanted to know. After the pictures were captured and printed and measurements were taken, Ziva was able to wipe off the gel and sit up, pulling her shirt down as she looked at their latest sonogram. “So, any questions before we wrap things up?”

“We were talking earlier about taking a trip before the baby’s born but I’m concerned about her flying. What’s the best way for her to travel now?”

“Well, a common misconception is that flying is dangerous past the second trimester. Ziva, you can actually fly as late as 37 weeks as long as there’s no complications which, as of now, have been non-existent. If you’re travelling by car, try to limit your driving time to 6 or 7 hours and make sure to stop every couple of hours to stretch your legs. Just remember, you know your limits on what you can handle, and that applies to your vacation spot as well. I would recommend staying away from amusement parks and instead find a beach or nature area that you can relax in. Other than that, I have no other advice for you on that regard. Please contact me if you have any more questions or concerns and I will see you in a few weeks.”

Tony and Ziva took in her advice carefully, standing up and shaking hands before walking back out to the front to schedule her next appointment.

“So,” Tony asked as they got into the car, “shall we go pick up Tali and then get something for lunch?”

“Sounds good to me. And we can start talking about where would like to go on vacation.”

By the time they got to Senior’s to pick up Tali, they had narrowed down vacation spots to four different places. They decided to tell Tali at lunch and hopefully they would be able to choose one then. With a happy toddler in the backseat chatting about her day with Nonno, they drove to their usual diner and chose a corner booth. After placing their orders, they decided now was the time to bring up their conversation from earlier.

“Tali, your Abba and I were talking earlier and we would like for the three of us to go on vacation before your baby brother or sister arrives. What do you say to that?” Tali looked at her Ima with wide eyes and nodded enthusiastically.

“Can we go to Disney World Ima?” Ziva and Tony laughed, expecting that question to come up since Tali had been watching Brave and Mulan recently.

“Well, that is on our list tesoro, but we haven’t decided yet. Your Ima and I will talk about it tonight and, once we have our list narrowed down, you can help us decide.” Tali beamed at her parents and began talking non-stop about what princesses she wants to meet as Tony and Ziva listened intently, smiling at their daughter’s enthusiasm.

 “Well, we finally have one place knocked off of our list.” Tony and Ziva had been sitting on the couch since Tali went to bed one hour ago, going over their vacation options and, after crossing out and re-writing places, they finally decided to eliminate one off of their list. “Ziva.” She jolted awake, the pen falling out of her hand and landing with a thud on the floor, her reflexes not as fast when pregnant and half asleep.

“Sorry Tony, I guess I was more tired than I thought. Now what were you saying?”

“We can knock a place off of our list now, California. I don’t think it would be a good idea to travel that far at this stage in pregnancy. Maybe we could go when this one is a little older.”

“I believe you are right Tony. And as much as Tali would love it, I believe Disney World is out as well. I want to be able for all of us to spend time together and, since I cannot ride the rides, I would be you and Tali or me and Tali and that is just not what I want right now. Maybe we should put it off as well until this one is at least a year old.”  

“Okay, Disney is crossed off the list. That leaves us with two options: Gatlinburg, Tennessee or Greenville, South Carolina. Should we make a list of pros and cons?” At Ziva’s nod, he started drawing a chart for each place. “First, Gatlinburg. Pro, they have a wonderful aquarium and are very family friendly. Con, the traffic can be terrible.” Ziva chimed in with the next items.

“Pro, we could see the mountains. Con, it is a popular tourist attraction and we would be going during spring break so it would be really busy.”

“Pro, there’s plenty to do, including miniature golf. Con, it’s at least six hours from a beach which we talked about going to.”

“Let’s talk about Greenville now.” Ziva waited for Tony to make his last remarks about Gatlinburg before continuing. “Pro, I read that they have a fantastic children’s museum. Con,” she paused for a moment, “I cannot think of a con at the moment, you go.”

“Oh, uh, pro, they have a nice trail downtown. Oh, and they have an art and history museum I think you would like.” Again, there was a pause before he decided he could not think of a con and tuned it over to Ziva.

“Pro, it is only 3 hours from a beach, but we would have to rent a car to drive over to it. Each place is the same distance, by car or plane.” Ziva looked at her husband in thought. “I think the choice is obvious Tony.” He smiled back at her, leaning over to press a kiss to her lips.

“We’re going to South Carolina?” Ziva smiled and nodded, leaning in as far as she could for another kiss.

“Well, now that that is settled, I am ready for bed.” Tony stood up and grabbed her arms, helping her up even though she could still get up easily on her own. “You go on to bed and I will be there in a minute.”

“Remember what the doctor said about snacking tonight.” She paused half-way to the kitchen and looked back at him, sticking her tongue out and proceeding to the kitchen while Tony went to get ready for bed. She came into the bedroom five minutes later carrying two bottles of water, a loaf of bread, and a bag of pretzels, receiving a look from Tony.

“What? She said if I had to eat a midnight snack to eat something bland and these are bland.” Tony just shook his head as she placed her items on the nightstand before laying down and rolling over to face her husband. “Goodnight Tony, we love you.” He placed on kiss on her lips, then kissed his fingertips and pressed them to her belly, whispering goodnight to both mother and baby. Relishing in the ability to still do so, Ziva rolled over and pulled Tony closer to curl against her back. His arm went immediately across her stomach as it had since he first found out she was pregnant and pressed a kiss to the back of her head as her arm reached up to intertwine with his.  

Tony woke up at 6:00 am expecting to hear Ziva in the bathroom but instead found her still curled in his arms. Surprised yet pleased she was still in this position, he pressed a kiss to her shoulder before getting comfortable and preparing to sleep for another hour or two. He could not help but notice though the empty water bottle, half-eaten bag of pretzels, and opened loaf of bread that rested on the nightstand.

Top 5 Convertible Baby Car Seats | 2017 Reviews

Top 5 Best Convertible Baby Car Seats | 2017 Reviews

Life used to be so easy – and so unsafe. When our parents and grandparents had their children, they simply put them in flimsy aluminum “car seats” next to the driver’s seat, and when the kids outgrew those “safety” seats, they were old enough to ride in the back with everyone else.

Today, parents have to deal with laws (which are different in every state) mandating different types of child car seats for different ages, and buy a succession of infant, rear-facing, front-facing and booster seats as their children grow older. There are very good reasons for those laws, and few would argue their wisdom. That doesn’t lessen the financial burden on parents, though.

Graco My Ride 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

Safety 1st Complete Air 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

One smart way to at least avoid some of the expense of continual car seat purchases is with the use of convertible baby car seats. These versatile products install initially as the required rear-facing seat for children under the age of 2 (at least, that’s the age requirement in most states). They can then be turned around to become a front-facing car seat for toddlers, suitable for use until the children grow too big for the convertible seat and need a booster seat.

Today’s convertible seats can be confusing or difficult to install, particularly in small cars, because they can be installed either by attaching a vehicle’s seat belt to them or via the government-mandated LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers) system straps and hooks. But these seats make up for it in versatility since once they’re in your car, they can stay there for years. They’re also designed and built for child safety our parents and grandparents never dreamed of being possible.

With prices ranging from $50 to $500 and their children’s well-being at stake, parents often lay out enormous money, assuming that the most expensive models must also be the safest and best-designed. That’s not always the case; there are some terrific seats that aren’t budget-busters.

We know that you are excited with our top 5 list, but you may want to check first our Best Convertible Baby Car Seat Buying Guide here.

Done? Now, here’s our list of the top 5 convertible baby car seats on the market.

Evenflo SureRide DLX Convertible Car Seat

We’ve ranked this seat at #1 on our list because safety tests done by Consumer Reports show it to be the safest convertible car seat available – but it also proves that you don’t have to spend an enormous amount of money for safety, because the Evenflo SureRide only costs about $75-$100 depending on where you buy it. (It’s also a Mom’s Pick award winner at BabyCenter.com.)

This lightweight seat, completely manufactured in America, is not only safe but is built to accommodate children as they grow older. The height and weight limitations are 5-40 pounds and 19-40 inches for rear-facing, and 22-65 pounds and 28-54 inches for front-facing. This means the DLX can be used for as long as six years before it’s necessary to transition a child to a booster seat.

As with all modern car seats, the Evenflo can be connected either with the LATCH system or a rear seat belt. Installing the Evenflo SureRide isn’t quite as easy as it is with a few of the models lower down on our list; it’s one of many car seats that require you to fiddle with a lower plastic recline foot to get the correct incline angle, and also one of many that can require some struggles to get the LATCH connectors hooked up. But once it’s in your car you’ll appreciate its versatility. There are six different height positions for the 5-point harness and two for the crotch buckle, and the harness adjustments can be made easily from the front of the car seat. There’s plenty of room for a child inside, but this is a narrower model than some of its competitors, so it fits easily inside compact cars with smaller back seats. There are removable cup holders and body pillows, too.

You may be wondering, understandably, if this is the safest seat and it’s made in America yet is much less expensive than many others – what corners are being cut? It’s a legitimate question. The DLX doesn’t have the same amount of padding as higher-priced seats, and the fabric used is definitely cheaper material. Also, the straps are also more prone to getting twisted up (requiring time to untwist them before you can start the car and head off). Neither of those, to our minds, are deal-breakers, though; if the padding isn’t necessary for this seat to get the highest safety rating, and we have to spend an extra minute or two untwisting straps, we’ll gladly make that tradeoff to save hundreds of dollars and get the safest seat for our child.

Britax USA Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat

You’d rather spend high-end money for a high-end car convertible car seat that also has a high safety rating? This Britax model is for you. It’s a premium car seat that also ranked extremely highly on the Consumer Reports safety tests, and comes with several proprietary systems developed by the company: the Click and Snug Harness Indicator, HUGS chest pads with safe cell technology, and True Side Impact Protection.

Without going into a ton of specifics on each one, Click and Snug gives you an audio signal when the child harness is properly adjusted, the HUGS chest pads have cells designed to compress upon impact and reduce the force that would be felt by the child, and the True Side Impact system lines the head restraint with special, energy-absorbing foam to make sure the child’s spine remains straight in the event of an accident. There are also three layers of side protection. Are they all absolutely necessary? Possibly not, but they definitely provide a level of reassurance for parents.

The ClickTight is named after the Britax simplified system to attach their convertible car seats with a seat belt. Instead of having to manually thread the belt through a number of hooks or holes, you just push a button to open the ClickTight, run the belt through the designated path, close the ClickTight and the system grabs it and tightens it all by itself. Trust us, it’s a time- and frustration-saver. There are also lower LATCH connectors, of course. The tether on this seat can (and should) also be used in both front- and rear-facing modes, which is not always the case with some convertibles. One other nice feature: the harness straps are twist-resistant.

There are seven recline positions available, with a very nice color-coded indicator making it easy to see when you’ve chosen the right selection for the size of your child, another plus. The weight limitations of the Britax are identical to the Evenflo, while the height limitations are slightly more restrictive but still in keeping with the heights of most toddlers and older children. The seat is heavier and wider than the SureRide DLX, which may either be a pro or a con for you.

We can hear you holding your breath, waiting for the price. It’s a little over $300 – quite pricey if you’re on a budget, but quite possibly a price you’re willing to pay for a safe convertible seat your child will be using for years.

Chicco NextFit CS Convertible Car Seat

Chicco has a reputation for making technologically advanced high-end car seats, and the NextFit CS is their latest and greatest model. One of the aspects of the NextFit that we liked is that there’s more headroom when a child is sitting in the rear-facing installation of the seat, up to 49 inches; it’s likely your child will already be exceeding the weight limitation for a rear-facing seat before he or she reaches 49 inches, but there are some families for whom this will be an important feature. Other size and weight limitations are similar to our first two reviewed models.

We think this is the easiest model to install and remove of all the top 5 convertible baby car seats on our list, thanks to its patented SuperCinch system. Push-button anchor connectors connect to the car’s LATCH connectors, and then you just pull the straps on each side of the seat and you’re done. Clamp-type seat belt lockoffs make it just as simple to attach using a car’s seat belt.

The harness is easy to secure and doesn’t get tangled up easily, thanks to a ComfortFlex harness management system, there are nine recline positions and two positions for both the chest clip and crotch buckle, and there’s extra side padding as well as a cup holder. This is another convertible seat which ranked high on Consumer Report’s safety tests, and it’s easy to see why. We probably don’t have to tell you it’s also expensive, in the same price range as the Britax, but it’s worth it.

Graco My Ride 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

Graco is a respected name in baby furniture and products; if you’ve had a baby in the last 15-20 years, you’ve undoubtedly had at least one Graco in your child’s nursery. Their convertible car seats are solid products, and while this car seat is a bit more expensive than the Evenflo that topped our list, it’s still only going to run you a little over $100.

For that money, you get a safe and versatile convertible seat. We’d rank it as moderately easy to install, with different anchor straps for rear- and front-facing installation and hook hardware instead of push button releases for LATCH attachments. There’s some tugging and squeezing necessary, but it’s not arduous. It also does take a bit of muscle to adjust the five-point harness, though, which has five positions from which to select.

The My Ride has been extensively safety-tested and surpasses all standards. Although there are no proprietary systems with fancy names, there is energy-absorbing EPS side foam to absorb the impact of a crash – not as plush or extensive as higher-priced models, but definitely more than sufficient. There’s only one crotch position, but there are two cupholders if that matters to you. The one big negative when the Graco is front-facing is that the seat is deep and leans back, something that may not suit antsy toddlers or older children who want to sit up straight.

This is a good price for a good reversible car seat, and while we prefer the Evenflo at this cost level, the Graco is worth a long look.

Safety 1st Complete Air 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

We’re always skeptical when a company chooses a name like “Safety 1st,” which makes it seem that there’s some reassurance needed for consumers. In this case, though, you can tell by looking at the construction of this convertible car seat that it’s built with safety in mind, from its large size and generous foam padding to its huge head wings with “Air Protect” technology.

What really attracted us, though, is the color-coded installation system which makes putting the Air 65 into your car a relative breeze (you still have to deal with LATCH attachments and seat belt threading, never an easy task). But if you’re a bit mechanically challenged, as we are, and have spent half-an-hour wrestling to install a car seat, as we have, the Safety 1st system that essentially walks you through the process will be a welcome relief.

There is an anti-tangle harness, three crotch positions, and a four recline positions which can be adjusted with just the pull of a lever. The one major drawback for some people will be the Air 65’s large footprint, making it a much better choice for big cars than for smaller ones. It falls into the medium-price range on our list, at around $175.

FAQ ( From Our Ardent Fans)

How long are the car seats good for? This varies from company to company and the quality of the material used by the manufacturer. Its worth to check the expiration date at the bottom of the seat to understand your seat’s durability. As a rule of thumb, if you are wondering how long is the car seat good for, we recommend to use car seats no longer than 6 years from the date of manufacture and/or purchase. If you are planning to make use the same seat for your little one from his elder sibling, it is highly advised you check the expiration date from the manufacture/purchase and not the actual usage of the seat

Why do car seats expire? Mostly due to the quality of the materials used and the actual material itself. Car seats are made of lot of harnesses, latches, as well as material that is conducive enough to withhold stress and impact. Over a period time, these wear out and become less durable from a lifetime perspective.

When do car seats expire? Please see question 1 above. This depends on manufacturer to manufacturer as well as the quality of the material used

How do I find the car seat expiration date? All manufacturers have to follow regulatory & consumer watchdog guidelines and are legally obliged to display expiration date of car seats so finding the expiration date is not onerous. Most of the time this is displayed under the seat itself or in rare circumstances, if you manage not to find one, check the owner’s manual

How long until my seat expires? The typical lifespan of a very well built car seat from a reputed manufacturer lasts for 6 years but there are some robust recent models that can last as long as 9.

How do i dispose off my car seat? After expiration, please recycle them to dispose off

How do I recycle my old car seat? With all the manufacturers swaying towards sustainability and aim to be more greener, thankfully, most of the car seat parts are recyclable.  Most US cities now have car seat recycling programs like ReSEAT, where its just as easy as dropping your old seat off. You could also drop it in your local recycle centres or mail your to a recycling program like BabyEarthRenew

Are there any new car seats that are fully and 100% recyclable?  A variant of Clek, Foonf claims to be manufactured with all recyclable materials and adhere to sustainability guidelines, however, we haven’t checked their particular model. The manufacturer also offers a loyalty discount of twenty dollars on the new seat when the old one is sent back, so worth checking it!

Top 5 Convertible Baby Car Seats | 2017 Reviews

Top 5 Best Convertible Baby Car Seats | 2017 Reviews

Life used to be so easy – and so unsafe. When our parents and grandparents had their children, they simply put them in flimsy aluminum “car seats” next to the driver’s seat, and when the kids outgrew those “safety” seats, they were old enough to ride in the back with everyone else.

Today, parents have to deal with laws (which are different in every state) mandating different types of child car seats for different ages, and buy a succession of infant, rear-facing, front-facing and booster seats as their children grow older. There are very good reasons for those laws, and few would argue their wisdom. That doesn’t lessen the financial burden on parents, though.

One smart way to at least avoid some of the expense of continual car seat purchases is with the use of convertible baby car seats. These versatile products install initially as the required rear-facing seat for children under the age of 2 (at least, that’s the age requirement in most states). They can then be turned around to become a front-facing car seat for toddlers, suitable for use until the children grow too big for the convertible seat and need a booster seat.

Today’s convertible seats can be confusing or difficult to install, particularly in small cars, because they can be installed either by attaching a vehicle’s seat belt to them or via the government-mandated LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers) system straps and hooks. But these seats make up for it in versatility since once they’re in your car, they can stay there for years. They’re also designed and built for child safety our parents and grandparents never dreamed of being possible.

With prices ranging from $50 to $500 and their children’s well-being at stake, parents often lay out enormous money, assuming that the most expensive models must also be the safest and best-designed. That’s not always the case; there are some terrific seats that aren’t budget-busters.

We know that you are excited with our top 5 list, but you may want to check first our Best Convertible Baby Car Seat Buying Guide here.

Done? Now, here’s our list of the top 5 convertible baby car seats on the market.

Evenflo SureRide DLX Convertible Car Seat

We’ve ranked this seat at #1 on our list because safety tests done by Consumer Reports show it to be the safest convertible car seat available – but it also proves that you don’t have to spend an enormous amount of money for safety, because the Evenflo SureRide only costs about $75-$100 depending on where you buy it. (It’s also a Mom’s Pick award winner at BabyCenter.com.)

This lightweight seat, completely manufactured in America, is not only safe but is built to accommodate children as they grow older. The height and weight limitations are 5-40 pounds and 19-40 inches for rear-facing, and 22-65 pounds and 28-54 inches for front-facing. This means the DLX can be used for as long as six years before it’s necessary to transition a child to a booster seat.

As with all modern car seats, the Evenflo can be connected either with the LATCH system or a rear seat belt. Installing the Evenflo SureRide isn’t quite as easy as it is with a few of the models lower down on our list; it’s one of many car seats that require you to fiddle with a lower plastic recline foot to get the correct incline angle, and also one of many that can require some struggles to get the LATCH connectors hooked up. But once it’s in your car you’ll appreciate its versatility. There are six different height positions for the 5-point harness and two for the crotch buckle, and the harness adjustments can be made easily from the front of the car seat. There’s plenty of room for a child inside, but this is a narrower model than some of its competitors, so it fits easily inside compact cars with smaller back seats. There are removable cup holders and body pillows, too.

You may be wondering, understandably, if this is the safest seat and it’s made in America yet is much less expensive than many others – what corners are being cut? It’s a legitimate question. The DLX doesn’t have the same amount of padding as higher-priced seats, and the fabric used is definitely cheaper material. Also, the straps are also more prone to getting twisted up (requiring time to untwist them before you can start the car and head off). Neither of those, to our minds, are deal-breakers, though; if the padding isn’t necessary for this seat to get the highest safety rating, and we have to spend an extra minute or two untwisting straps, we’ll gladly make that tradeoff to save hundreds of dollars and get the safest seat for our child.

Britax USA Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat

You’d rather spend high-end money for a high-end car convertible car seat that also has a high safety rating? This Britax model is for you. It’s a premium car seat that also ranked extremely highly on the Consumer Reports safety tests, and comes with several proprietary systems developed by the company: the Click and Snug Harness Indicator, HUGS chest pads with safe cell technology, and True Side Impact Protection.

Without going into a ton of specifics on each one, Click and Snug gives you an audio signal when the child harness is properly adjusted, the HUGS chest pads have cells designed to compress upon impact and reduce the force that would be felt by the child, and the True Side Impact system lines the head restraint with special, energy-absorbing foam to make sure the child’s spine remains straight in the event of an accident. There are also three layers of side protection. Are they all absolutely necessary? Possibly not, but they definitely provide a level of reassurance for parents.

The ClickTight is named after the Britax simplified system to attach their convertible car seats with a seat belt. Instead of having to manually thread the belt through a number of hooks or holes, you just push a button to open the ClickTight, run the belt through the designated path, close the ClickTight and the system grabs it and tightens it all by itself. Trust us, it’s a time- and frustration-saver. There are also lower LATCH connectors, of course. The tether on this seat can (and should) also be used in both front- and rear-facing modes, which is not always the case with some convertibles. One other nice feature: the harness straps are twist-resistant.

There are seven recline positions available, with a very nice color-coded indicator making it easy to see when you’ve chosen the right selection for the size of your child, another plus. The weight limitations of the Britax are identical to the Evenflo, while the height limitations are slightly more restrictive but still in keeping with the heights of most toddlers and older children. The seat is heavier and wider than the SureRide DLX, which may either be a pro or a con for you.

We can hear you holding your breath, waiting for the price. It’s a little over $300 – quite pricey if you’re on a budget, but quite possibly a price you’re willing to pay for a safe convertible seat your child will be using for years.

Chicco NextFit CS Convertible Car Seat

Chicco has a reputation for making technologically advanced high-end car seats, and the NextFit CS is their latest and greatest model. One of the aspects of the NextFit that we liked is that there’s more headroom when a child is sitting in the rear-facing installation of the seat, up to 49 inches; it’s likely your child will already be exceeding the weight limitation for a rear-facing seat before he or she reaches 49 inches, but there are some families for whom this will be an important feature. Other size and weight limitations are similar to our first two reviewed models.

We think this is the easiest model to install and remove of all the top 5 convertible baby car seats on our list, thanks to its patented SuperCinch system. Push-button anchor connectors connect to the car’s LATCH connectors, and then you just pull the straps on each side of the seat and you’re done. Clamp-type seat belt lockoffs make it just as simple to attach using a car’s seat belt.

The harness is easy to secure and doesn’t get tangled up easily, thanks to a ComfortFlex harness management system, there are nine recline positions and two positions for both the chest clip and crotch buckle, and there’s extra side padding as well as a cup holder. This is another convertible seat which ranked high on Consumer Report’s safety tests, and it’s easy to see why. We probably don’t have to tell you it’s also expensive, in the same price range as the Britax, but it’s worth it.

Graco My Ride 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

Graco is a respected name in baby furniture and products; if you’ve had a baby in the last 15-20 years, you’ve undoubtedly had at least one Graco in your child’s nursery. Their convertible car seats are solid products, and while this car seat is a bit more expensive than the Evenflo that topped our list, it’s still only going to run you a little over $100.

For that money, you get a safe and versatile convertible seat. We’d rank it as moderately easy to install, with different anchor straps for rear- and front-facing installation and hook hardware instead of push button releases for LATCH attachments. There’s some tugging and squeezing necessary, but it’s not arduous. It also does take a bit of muscle to adjust the five-point harness, though, which has five positions from which to select.

The My Ride has been extensively safety-tested and surpasses all standards. Although there are no proprietary systems with fancy names, there is energy-absorbing EPS side foam to absorb the impact of a crash – not as plush or extensive as higher-priced models, but definitely more than sufficient. There’s only one crotch position, but there are two cupholders if that matters to you. The one big negative when the Graco is front-facing is that the seat is deep and leans back, something that may not suit antsy toddlers or older children who want to sit up straight.

This is a good price for a good reversible car seat, and while we prefer the Evenflo at this cost level, the Graco is worth a long look.

Safety 1st Complete Air 65 LX Convertible Car Seat

We’re always skeptical when a company chooses a name like “Safety 1st,” which makes it seem that there’s some reassurance needed for consumers. In this case, though, you can tell by looking at the construction of this convertible car seat that it’s built with safety in mind, from its large size and generous foam padding to its huge head wings with “Air Protect” technology.

What really attracted us, though, is the color-coded installation system which makes putting the Air 65 into your car a relative breeze (you still have to deal with LATCH attachments and seat belt threading, never an easy task). But if you’re a bit mechanically challenged, as we are, and have spent half-an-hour wrestling to install a car seat, as we have, the Safety 1st system that essentially walks you through the process will be a welcome relief.

There is an anti-tangle harness, three crotch positions, and a four recline positions which can be adjusted with just the pull of a lever. The one major drawback for some people will be the Air 65’s large footprint, making it a much better choice for big cars than for smaller ones. It falls into the medium-price range on our list, at around $175.

FAQ ( From Our Ardent Fans)

How long are the car seats good for? This varies from company to company and the quality of the material used by the manufacturer. Its worth to check the expiration date at the bottom of the seat to understand your seat’s durability. As a rule of thumb, if you are wondering how long is the car seat good for, we recommend to use car seats no longer than 6 years from the date of manufacture and/or purchase. If you are planning to make use the same seat for your little one from his elder sibling, it is highly advised you check the expiration date from the manufacture/purchase and not the actual usage of the seat

Why do car seats expire? Mostly due to the quality of the materials used and the actual material itself. Car seats are made of lot of harnesses, latches, as well as material that is conducive enough to withhold stress and impact. Over a period time, these wear out and become less durable from a lifetime perspective.

When do car seats expire? Please see question 1 above. This depends on manufacturer to manufacturer as well as the quality of the material used

How do I find the car seat expiration date? All manufacturers have to follow regulatory & consumer watchdog guidelines and are legally obliged to display expiration date of car seats so finding the expiration date is not onerous. Most of the time this is displayed under the seat itself or in rare circumstances, if you manage not to find one, check the owner’s manual

How long until my seat expires? The typical lifespan of a very well built car seat from a reputed manufacturer lasts for 6 years but there are some robust recent models that can last as long as 9.

How do i dispose off my car seat? After expiration, please recycle them to dispose off

How do I recycle my old car seat? With all the manufacturers swaying towards sustainability and aim to be more greener, thankfully, most of the car seat parts are recyclable.  Most US cities now have car seat recycling programs like ReSEAT, where its just as easy as dropping your old seat off. You could also drop it in your local recycle centres or mail your to a recycling program like BabyEarthRenew

Are there any new car seats that are fully and 100% recyclable?  A variant of Clek, Foonf claims to be manufactured with all recyclable materials and adhere to sustainability guidelines, however, we haven’t checked their particular model. The manufacturer also offers a loyalty discount of twenty dollars on the new seat when the old one is sent back, so worth checking it!
