It was Valentine's Day and a birthday. Y/N was turning 19 this year and on Valentine's Day. Y/N had a secret that no one knew about at all. She was dating the Headmistress of Monster high Nora Bloodgood. The only ones who knew were her ghoul friends which were quite a lot of monsters. Y/N and Nora had matching rings on their middle fingers that they always wore. On the inside of the ring there was a date engraved when the two got together. On the outside they had each other's initials. Nora was a good 9 inches taller than Y/N making her 6'3 so Y/N was 5'6. Y/N was planning on surprising Nora at work today with the help of all of her ghoul friends.

Clawd and Deuce were supposed to ask Bloodgood for "help" with the decorations in the catacombs while Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Cleo, Ghoulia, Abbey and Lagoona decorated the whole school. Jinafire, Skelita and Venus snuck Y/N in as the four girls giggled. Bloodgood was back in her office by then and the rest of the ghouls met up with the four. "Y/N YOUR HERE" Draculaura shouted and Frankie covered Draculaura's mouth. "Don't shout it will echo" Frankie said and Y/N giggled before the shorter girl rushed over and hugged Y/N tightly. Draculaura pulled away before looking up at Y/N. "I still can't believe we have the exact same birthday maybe we're long lost relatives" she said causing the group to laugh. "Drac I don't think that would be possible Y/N's Human and you're a vampire" Clawd said wrapping an arm around Draculaura. She pouted causing Y/N to smile down at her. "Well we don't have to be the same species to be long lost relatives" Y/N said before she winked at Draculaura who giggled.

The group made their way to Bloodgood's office that was now decorated with Valentines decorations. "She's gonna be so happy to see you even though she doesn't show it we definitely know she is" Cleo said and Y/N just shook her head while smiling. Once they reached Bloodgood's office Frankie knocked on the door. Y/N hid behind all her friends as Draculaura stood beside her. The door opened and Bloodgood looked at everyone before narrowing her eyes. "What's wrong why are all of you here is there something wrong with the decorations again" Nora said and everyone smiled before stepping aside. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Y/N standing there. Even though Draculaura was smaller she was able to push Y/N towards Nora without trouble.

"Hi Cara Mia" Y/N said as she smiled up at Nora. Y/N's smile widened when she saw a faint blush cross Nora's face from that nickname. Y/N's ghoul friends awed with heart eyes and Nora snapped out of it. "Get out of here" Nora said to Y/N's friends and they all giggled and chuckled before leaving. "Aw don't be so mean to them No-" before Y/N could finish she was pulled into Nora's office. Nora slammed the door shut behind her before wrapping Y/N up in a hug. "I missed you so much Mi Amor" Nora whispered out and Y/N immediately hugged back. "I missed you too handsome" Y/N said right before she was nudged in the back. She looked over her shoulder to see nightmare waiting. Y/N pulled away slightly and Nightmare walked over. "I won't forget about you cutie" Y/N said as she stroked Nightmares snout making her neigh.

"Happy Valentines day and Happy birthday" Nora said causing Y/N to look up at her. Nora was holding a box filled with red and white heart shaped gummies and some red and white roses. "OH" Y/N said before she smiled and took the items. Nightmare nudged Y/N again causing her to smile. "What you want a gummy" Y/N said and Nightmare nodded. "Too bad they're all for me" Y/N said as she booped the horse's nose. Nightmare stomped her hoof on the ground while huffing causing Y/N to smirk. "You two act like absolutely children" Nora said causing the two to look at her. "Well Nightmare is 3 years old so she technically is a child" Y/N said as she sat down on Nora's desk. Nora rolled her eyes before walking up to Y/N and kissing her on the lips. Y/N wrapped her legs around Nora before pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. Before they could continue Nightmare neighed and stomped her hooves onto the ground. Y/N groaned against Nora's lips causing the older woman to chuckle before pulling away. "You should really give one of the gummies to her she won't stop until you do" the Headmistress said causing Y/N to roll her eyes. "Fine whatever" Y/N said as she took a gummy out of the box before holding it out for Nightmare who took it and ate it. "Happy now" Y/N said and Nightmare neighed while nodding her head.

"So how'd you sneak over here without anyone seeing" Nora said as she looked down at Y/N who was eating some of the gummies. "Oh I had some help" Y/N said as she smirked before holding a gummy out for Nora who was still standing in front of Y/N. Nora leaned down and was about to take it from Y/N's hand when the door opened. "AW HOW CUTE" someone shouted. Nora straightened up before snatching the gummy from Y/N's hand causing the girl to smirk. Nora turned around to see Frankie and Clawdeen standing in the doorway smiling. "What are you two doing here shouldn't you be getting ready for the Valentine's party" she growled out and the two smirked. "We're already done we're just waiting for the three guests of honor to arrive" Clawdeen said before looking behind Nora to see Y/N sitting on the desk. "We'll be there shortly" Nora slightly growled out and the two nodded before dashing off. "Don't be mad at them Cara Mia" Y/N said as she grabbed Nora's face. Bloodgood looked at Y/N before sighing. "Alright we should get going" Nora said making Y/N confused. "Go where" Y/N said as she hopped off of Bloodgood's desk. "It's a surprise" Nora said as she grabbed Y/N's hand and interlocked their fingers together.

The two made their way down to the catacombs making Y/N confused. "Why are we in the catacombs" Y/N asked and Nora just continued walking. "You'll find out soon" she said before she took a skeleton key out and put it into the heart shaped wall. She turned the key and the door opened. The two walked in and Y/N heard the wall shut behind her making her gulp. "Is this where you kill me" Y/N said and Nora barked out a laugh before looking at Y/N with tears in her eyes. "No darling why would I do that" Nora asked and Y/N shrugged her shoulders. Nora shook her head before they arrived at the huge cave. It was pitch black making Y/N squint her eyes to try and see. "Why is it so dar-" before Y/N could finish candles lit up and monsters jumped out from everywhere shouting "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Y/N causing her to gasp. "Happy birthday birthday buddy" Draculaura said as she hugged Y/N from the side. Y/N looked down before hugging Draculaura back.

Y/N was stuffing her face full with food when Deuce and Cleo walked over. "Where's Headmistress Bloodgood at" Cleo asked causing Y/N to look up. "She's over there sitting at a table" Y/N said pointing to one of the tables that were far away from the students. "Why isn't she right here with you" Deuce said and Y/N chuckled. "She doesn't like showing her soft side in front of all the other students you should know that by now" Y/N said and the three laughed before Y/N headed back to the table with a plate of human food. Y/N sat down next to Nora who looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "That's sure a lot of food" she said and Y/N smiled before nodding her head. "Yeah thought we could share some" Y/N said as she held out a French fry for Nora.

Y/N ghoul friends all watched as Nora took the fry from Y/N hand before eating it. They watched as the two giggled and smiled at each other while occasionally feeding each other. "They're so cute together" Skelita said as they all watched Y/N giggle at something Nora said. "They're meant to be" C.A. Cupid said and everyone nodded. "They truly are Happy Valentines guys" Frankie said and everyone said happy Valentines back.

A/N:Happy Valentines Day everyone and here you go @notmanagingmymischief

The Doctor's birthday gift for his wife does not go as planned. Once again, River can't decide if she's more annoyed or amused.

River strolled down the eerily silent corridors of Stormcage, trying in vain to loosen the thick clumps of sand lodged in her curls. Hours spent on the desert planet Akh-Mun III, uncovering the legendary vault of Emperor Nauhu, had left the archeologist filthy and exhausted – but far from disappointed. Her theory on the mysterious disappearance of his third wife was now proven correct and The Queen’s involvement in the regime’s downfall shed a fascinating new light on The Emperor’s spiral into insanity. River could have, of course, just stolen a vortex manipulator and seen the events unfold herself, but where was the challenge in that? This was a major step towards her first post-university publication. Besides, she had learned early on that time travel was not a suitable substitute for field work.

Most of the cells she passed by were empty, but every now and then River could feel a set of resentful eyes on her. Pausing before the next corner, she placed the flat, circular device in her hand against the wall. It briefly flashed yellow. One of the many useful features found on a Murustec was its ability to rewind the footage of every camera within a five-meter radius by ten seconds, allowing River to slip by them unnoticed. Naturally this was something she’d procured by entirely legal means.

As she neared her cell, River glanced at her scanner for the time. Nearly half past seven, which meant Gregory wouldn’t be making his rounds for another two hours – she had made a point to memorize each of the guards’ schedules within her first week of prison. A shower would have to wait then. Just as well, a long nap was also - River stopped in her tracks, having looked up to find her cell completely transformed from how she had left it. She must be far more exhausted than she thought. That or her exposure to the three suns of Akh-Mun III had seriously affected her eyesight because spread all over the walls and floors of her sleeping space couldn’t really be-

“Alliums!”

Her floppy haired, baby-faced husband popped up out of the center of the mess, wearing a wide grin and a white tuxedo. River eyed him up and down appreciatively. She noticed the flowers themselves were growing directly out of the concrete.

“Genetically modified so they’ll grow anywhere!”

“You don’t say.”

River was having difficulty deciding if she was more annoyed or amused. She really had been looking forward to that night in.

“And what, may I ask, is the occasion for all of this?”

The Doctor maneuvered over to the cell door, only to trip over the crisscross of stems and leaves, landing in a tangle of limbs at River’s feet. It took every ounce of effort not to roll her eyes.

“Well, I was just browsing the stalls at Letos when I noticed them,” he said, stumbling back to his feet to try and regain his dignity, “And they reminded me of you.”

“Because they’re from Earth?”

The Doctor scratched his cheek nervously.

“Well… no, actually. Your hair.” He mimed an explosion with his hands, adding a sound effect for emphasis.

River threw back her head and laughed. Any weariness or tension that had accumulated from the day’s excavation dissolved from her shoulders and she suddenly felt wide awake. Only to the Doctor would such a correlation make perfect sense. She supposed she should feel quite flattered. River bit her lip to try and suppress her mirth.

“I’m to understand you transformed my cell into a garden because some flowers bore a vague resemblance to my hair?”

“Also, your birthday-”

“Was two weeks ago.” River cut in, leaning against the cell bars with folded arms. The poor man looked crestfallen.

“You don’t like them?”

“Oh my love, of course that’s not true; but do you have any idea how prison works? I’ll be lucky to get away with a slap on the wrist after they see this.”

His eyes widened in shock.

“Over a few flowers?”

“I’d hardly call this a few.”

“But…But that’s-” He spluttered, trying to find the words to sum up their predicament.

“You’re welcome to file a complaint but, seeing as you’re the man I’m supposed to have murdered to land me here in the first place, that could make things a bit awkward.”

The Doctor deflated, another unsuccessful attempt at a grand romantic gesture added to his ever lengthening list. River plucked the stem of a stray flower whose blossoms had eagerly poked their way between the cell bars, smelling it thoughtfully.

“What kind of Alliums are they?”

Still pouting somewhat, the Doctor stuffed his hands in his pockets and glanced at the source of his disappointment.

“Purple Sensation, Gladiator, Globemaster, the usual. I thought…” His gaze lingered on her for a moment. “I thought they were the prettiest.”

“You have an excellent eye.”

She drew closer to him, using a finger to brush back a strand of hair that had fallen into his eyes.

“You know, there are many ways to celebrate a birthday. I might have a few ideas of my own.”

“Oh?”

River tucked the stem of the flower she held into her husband’s coat pocket.

“Although, most of them do involve removing this dapper suit of yours.”

“But it’s my special birthday suit, why would I-”

Alarms split the air with an ear shattering screech, filling the prison with flashing red lights. Unconcerned, River glanced upward in mild annoyance at the interruption.

“Did you forget to adjust the live camera feeds before your visit?”

“Of course not!”

The Doctor looked offended, pulling his coat sharply by its lapels.

“I’ve programmed the TARDIS to automatically reverse them by fifteen minutes when in range.”

“Mhmm and how long ago did you land?”

“Oh, about fif-” the Doctor blinked. “Ah.”

River raised an eyebrow at him

"TARDIS?"

“No time.”

Thundering footsteps sounded from the corridors on either side, drawing rapidly closer. The Doctor grabbed her hand, pulling them both into the confines of her cell and the alliums that had recently made their home within it. Seconds after River was across the threshold, he turned to lock the door with his sonic before swiveling back to dive into the thick foliage. Unfortunately, his foot had once again caught in one of the wandering stems and this sudden movement brought his flailing limbs tumbling downwards, dragging River into bed of blossoms with him.

 Mmph!

The Doctor spat out a mouthful of petals, rolling over to face her pointed stare. He blinked.

“You know, I’m beginning to see your point.”

“I thought you might.”

At the very least the flowers provided more than sufficient cover, shrouding them both completely from the outside world. River had to admit, hiding from the Stormcage guards in her own cell was a new one.

They were lying a hair’s breadth apart. River’s breathing slowed as the initial thrill of a chase faded and her gaze began to caress every detail of her husband’s face. She’d heard it said before that a Time Lord’s eyes are the only thing that can betray their age on a surface level, but in the months following Lake Silencio and their increasingly perilous date nights, she had found herself beginning to disagree. The way his mouth tightened when facing a particularly dangerous enemy, for example, or how his forehead creased sometimes when he looked at her. Age was not just written on the surface of a person’s face but rather how that face expressed itself. The signs were all there if one knew where to look.

The Doctor’s own gaze had fixated on hers for a moment before drifting downwards. He opened his mouth to say something, but River placed a finger on his lips. The guards outside had discovered his birthday gift and a mixture of surprised and confused voices now reached them. Another low, gravelly voice cut in.

“Focus! Doctor Song isn’t here, we’ll need to split up to search each floor. And for God’s sake, don’t let her within arm’s reach.”

River rolled her eyes. That would be Claude, the head of security. He of all people should know by now that she did not need to be within arm’s reach to successfully neutralize an opponent. Further orders were given out and the group disbursed, footsteps gradually fading into the distance until all was silent once more. The only sound in the still air was their steady breathing but River still couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched. Was it possible Claude knew her better than she thought?

She realized the Doctor was smiling at her. River raised an eyebrow in question.

“You’re sunburnt.”

A playful finger tapped the tender skin of her nose. River’s body had unconsciously closed the gap between them, and she could now feel the steady thumping of his hearts against her chest.

“Archeologist.” She reminded him, voice barely above a whisper.

“A minor flaw.”

“Is it?”

Their eyes were locked, faces inches apart. His response was so quiet she might have thought it her imagination had the word not been so clearly shaped by the lips in front of her.

“No.”

One hand was slowly tracing a button on his suit. Not here. Not now. An annoying little voice in River’s head warned that they would be entering very dangerous waters if she were to continue the way she wanted, knowing what could be waiting on the other side of the cell door. There were times patience was indeed a virtue, especially if it meant avoiding awkward questions about husbands inexplicably rising from the dead.

“Hold that thought.”

The Doctor made no effort whatsoever to hide his dismay as River maneuvered away from him into a sitting position.

“River, what are you-?”

“I’m getting us out of here, now hush.”

She rose to her feet, shaking a few petals from her hair before stepping over a tangle of stems towards the cell bars. Her psychopathic instincts had been right. Two soldiers stood watch outside and one of them was the familiar, dark imposing figure of Claude. Both gave a start and trained their guns on her as she approached, smiling out at them.

“Hello boys, I believe you called?”

Claude scowled at her.

“I should have known.”

“I think you can put those away, don't you? I confess I have many talents but walking through steel is not one of them.”

Claude, for his part, did not appear convinced. The soldier beside him was much younger, with pale blonde hair sticking out from his guard’s cap and not one River immediately recognized. Must be new, the poor chap. The grip on his gun had slackened but the young man still flicked wary eyes between her and the flowers that framed her cell. She fluttered her eyelashes innocently at him.

“I hope my redecoration efforts aren’t too conspicuous.”

“Redecoration?”

The young man looked positively perplexed and River laughed softly.

“You know how it is when you’re sentenced to 12,000 consecutive lifetimes, might as well make oneself comfortable. Although, I don’t suppose you would know, would you?” She ran a hand over a couple of the alliums nearest her. “Perhaps I was a bit over enthusiastic about the project.”

“Who else are you hiding in there?”

Straight to the point, Claude was not going to partake in pleasantries when a potential security threat was at hand. Which was almost always the case whenever he and River crossed paths. She leveled her gaze at the tall man.

“Are you implying I would go to the trouble of smuggling someone into the highest security prison in the universe when I could just as easily break myself out?”

“Frankly I don’t give a damn what your reasoning behind any of this is. What I do know is that you, Doctor Song, are not stupid enough to risk the consequences of flaunting illegal goods just for the sake of redecoration.”

River, like every Stormcage prisoner on their first day inside, had learned about those consequences in detail, and it was why she’d been so particular about securing a discreet hiding place for her blaster and scanner. It was also why she had every intention of finding a way to reverse the effects of genetically modified alliums before the evening was out.

“Really Claude, you flatter me.” she gestured towards the mess behind her, “Have a look if you’d like, I'm hardly in a position to stop you.”

He narrowed his eyes at her, thinking for a few moments. Apparently deciding her point was a sound one, he gestured at her with the gun in his hands.

“Stand against the left wall where we can see you.” Claude turned towards the younger soldier beside him. “If she so much as lifts a finger in my direction, shoot.”

River tilted her head obligingly as the young man nodded, shoulders straightening. Once she was safely out of the door’s range, Claude strode forward to unlock it. Before stepping inside, he pushed his gun between the first row of stems to separate them, intently searching for any sign of life that might be concealed within.

“Whoever you are, you can’t hide. Not from me.”

Walking further into the cell, his legs and part of his torso were soon enveloped in green and purple. He turned slowly, frowning in deep concentration. Suddenly, Claude stopped, eyebrows shooting upwards. A tremor shot through his entire body and he collapsed, disappearing entirely in the foliage. Something long and circular shot out from where the head of security had landed and River caught the sonic screwdriver in midair.

The blonde-haired soldier outside had been so enraptured with the disappearance of his superior that he hadn’t noticed River move until his weapon was lying on the ground a few inches away from him. He blinked slowly in surprise back at the sonic screwdriver pointed in his direction.

“What’s your name?”

River asked calmly.

“P-Pierre.”

“Pierre, I’m not an unreasonable woman, but I have an important date tonight and would hate to have any complications in getting there. You’re going to help me by first removing your communication device – yes, toss it there – and now lie face down on the floor. Close your eyes and count to twenty, understood?”

River maintained her threatening stance holding the sonic screwdriver, thanking her lucky stars the young man apparently had no idea what it was. Once she was assured he posed no threat, she turned around just as the Doctor’s head poked out of the alliums behind her. Scattered petals and stems stuck out of his hair and his suit was now wrinkled in multiple places. River tried not to dwell too much on what she must look like.

Grabbing his hand, they moved over the motionless legs of Claude towards the door.

“What did you do to him?”

“Venusian aikido always comes through in a pinch.” The Doctor examined his free hand with some satisfaction. “Thought I’d be rusty after the last few decades.”

“I thought you needed four arms to practice Venusian aikido. Or was it six?”

River locked the door behind them with a flick of the sonic as her husband grinned widely at her.

“Two are perfectly adequate if you have nimble enough fingers.”

“Ah, you do have exceptionally nimble fingers."

"I don't suppose you'd be interested in a lesson or two?"

"More than two, definitely."

They were off running hand in hand down the corridor, turning the first corner they reached while the Doctor explained in the vaguest terms possible that he couldn't risk parking out in the open after an "incident" last time. He glanced at her.

“Spoilers.”

“And here I wondered if you’d finally learned how to operate her stealth settings.”

He flushed at this.

“I know perfectly well how-”

The sound of footsteps approaching cut him off and he pulled her into a small alcove from which a familiar blue light glowed softly. The TARDIS hummed in greeting as River placed a hand on the door, mentally communicating one in return. Poking his head briefly back out in the corridor, The Doctor turned again towards her, looking apologetic.

“River, about your birthday-”

“It doesn't matter.”

“But-”

River pressed a hand against his crumpled bow-tie.

“What matters is right here, right now. Let’s just enjoy tonight, shall we?”

The Doctor nodded before frowning suddenly, as though a thought had just occurred to him. Then his eyes widened.

“Hang on, most of them?”

“Hm?”

“You said … most of your ideas did not include this suit.”

River grinned wickedly at him.

“You caught me. All of them do.”

She grabbed one of his suspenders to pull him into a fierce kiss, backing into the TARDIS until the door shut behind them with a soft click.

Valentine’s Day

Word Count: 1,658

(Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! Here’s a sweet Hobarkley fic in honor of today! <3)

————————————————————————

Payton doesn't get particularly excited about commercial holidays, especially now that he's always preoccupied with one thing or another.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and he vaguely, half-heartedly knows that he has to get Alice something nice. He's gotten her something nice since they were kids.

But back when he was a kid, his dream had only just spawned in his mind.

He wasn't a politician, he was only a kid with an answer to the question of, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Payton remembers telling his mom about Alice and talking about how Mrs. Charles always wore pearls around her neck.

Shiny and beautiful.

Those two things seemed separate, completely unrelated, but it made sense to an eight-year-old boy with his first little crush.

He wanted to buy Alice a set of pearls for Valentine's Day.

While he didn't understand the scope of his family's wealth, he did know they had the money for his intended gift.

But Georgina didn't want her son to buy something so grand, she wanted him to give a gift in the scope of his age.

He's only eight, he can gift her pearls when he is older.

Payton had pouted and protested, but he had been given an alternative idea; he could make a necklace himself.

It was the one homemade thing Payton ever made for anyone. He was never into arts and crafts, even as a child, besides the occasional drawing to be hung on the refrigerator.

But he sat in his bedroom, stringing shiny plastic beads together, picking out all the white ones for the necklace.

When his work was done, Payton had hid it underneath all the other Valentines that were to be passed out the following day.

Once they'd been let out for recess, Payton took Alice behind the rock wall near the swings, the swings where McAfee and James kept watch so Payton could have his moment in the most private place kids their age had access to.

Payton presented the "pearls", stuttering and bashful, telling Alice that he loves her.

Being bashful about how he feels is a thing he learned to overcome with Alice and most people later on in life.

But at the age of eight, Alice was happy, giving the one boy who didn't believe in cooties a peck on the cheek.

Alice loved him, too.

Payton stepped out from behind the rock wall, grinning like the happiest boy on the planet.

His future First Lady was set in stone.

Payton made it a point to buy Alice something for every Valentine's Day from that day forward.

He stuck to it through elementary and middle school, but high school is when the idea of buying a card or chocolates became one thing to take him away from focusing on changing the world.

A distraction as opposed to a heart-felt gesture.

Now, in his junior year of high school, heart-felt gestures are off the table.

If Alice feels any heartache about it, she never speaks of it.

She sees the pink and red heart motifs everywhere she goes in February and she pays it no mind, pushing forward.

James, in his love for Alice, sees Payton's dismissal of the holiday and something in him wants to buy Alice something nice himself.

But he knows that won't do him any good, Payton would kill him.

So, he does the next best thing and reminds Payton that Valentine's Day is in two days.

"We don't do that. You know it, James." Payton tells him across the table in the library, while Alice and McAfee are off somewhere else, "Since when do you care about Valentine's Day anyway?"

James doesn't have an answer that he can give Payton.

So, he makes one up.

"She's your girlfriend, it's the right thing to do." Payton laughs, audibly laughs at that and looks up from his laptop,

"In twenty years, when we're all in the White House, this stupid holiday won't matter."

James drops it there, there is no getting through to Payton and his stubbornness.

The sun rises the following day and the holiday he now despises is a day away, fast approaching.

He doesn't like this mushy stuff, the cards and little teddy bears and the roses.

But James' words hit him all of a sudden when he thinks of the way Alice had looked at him through her usual content gaze.

She looks frustrated, frustrated in a way she can't express.

If she expressed it, it would cause a rift and a disturbance.

If Payton truly hates anything, he hates a disturbance in his meticulously crafted plans.

So, he drives out to the local Hallmark store in search of something to get James' words out of his mind and that look of frustration out of Alice's eyes.

The store is quiet, a few people are wandering up and down the isles, picking out any number of gifts for their special someone.

Payton turns to the Hallmark cards and the biggest disturbance in his life is shuffling through the various options.

River has a small stuffed bear tucked under his arm.

Payton goes down the isle, shuffling through the cards himself, watching River as subtlety as he can.

He struggles to find a card that is good enough for Alice.

Half of him doesn't care about this one bit and the other half cares a lot, maybe even too much.

In his third or fourth glance in River's direction, he sees him pick a card covered in roses and hearts.

Payton knows that underneath the cheesy Hallmark message will be something poetic and sweet and from the heart.

Astrid is a very lucky girl.

At a point, River looks back at Payton, in a waiting game to see who would acknowledge the other first.

"I thought you and Alice didn't do stuff like this." He comments.

Payton had forgotten that he told River about his distain for Valentine's Day during last week’s tutoring session.

"We don't." Payton states, then shrugs, "But I felt like it was the right thing to do."

River looks almost proud of Payton for using his morals.

Payton can tell him that James knocked the sense into him in a few days, when this store is all set up for St. Patrick's Day on February fifteenth.

Payton picks up a card and puts it right back, asking, "Are you and Astrid doing anything special?"

The question comes off his tongue and it tastes bitter like an unripe lemon.

River smiles to himself and the bitterness only grows as he goes on about their plans for dinner at the best place in town.

Payton has to think quick on his feet when River flips the question back around to him,

"Oh, well- I think- we're going out. Though, I'm still trying to book a reservation, God knows everyone else is trying to steal my great idea." He jokes towards the end to mask the fact that it's nothing special.

He hadn't even thought about it until yesterday in the library.

But River has how he'll treat Astrid like royalty all planned out and Payton is bitter and envious for reasons his subconscious won't allow him to confront.

He picks up a card that's pastel colored and classy, the same as Alice is.

He can write his own message in it tonight.

Payton drafts up the card's message on the way home. He'd also picked up a heart-shaped box of fancy chocolate that Alice likes.

He feels good; this is the most he's done in years.

He wants to do more in the future, the bitterness from his run-in with River solidifies it.

As dumb as it is, Payton understands the frustration Alice feels.

He knows he won't receive a heartfelt card or a nice evening out, where he's showered in sweet words and love from River and that gives him an ache in his heart.

It's a thing he'll never have and he has to deal with it.

He pushes his sorrows to the back of his mind and readies himself for tomorrow.

Alice is overjoyed with what Payton gives him.

No matter how cold and calculated she is, she's still a girl who wants to be shown love, even in the commercial sense that Payton isn't fond of.

James looks at him, it's a look of approval.

A job well done. His First Lady is happy.

At the end of the day, Payton goes to his locker to put his books away.

A folded piece of loose-leaf paper falls out when the door is opened.

A note from River.

Happy Valentine's Day, Payton. You're a busy guy, so I'll keep this short and sweet...

The note is short and sweet in a very literal sense, Payton feels warm and fuzzy at the brief words River had written.

It's signed, "Your buddy, River", but if Payton squints, he can see where the eraser of River's pencil erased the, "L" in, "Love".

Today is the best time to use that word, but River knows better than to make Payton short-circuit when he only has a few hours to prepare an evening out for himself and Alice.

River knows him well, he loves him a lot.

Payton knows River loves him, it's evident in every word he's ever spoken to him or every way he's ever looked at him.

He is the best disturbance in Payton's life.

In the end, Payton enjoys his evening with Alice; he has a lot to be grateful for when it comes to her.

He doesn't explain to her that a run-in with River and a nudge from James pushed him to be so romantic, he keeps that to himself.

Payton keeps River's note in his wallet, tucked behind his school ID.

Next year, he might be brave enough to sneak his own note into River's locker.

Willy and Y/N are childhood friends turned lovers. After Willy opens his factory he decided to propose to Y/N. Maybe he takes her to relive their past dates and decided what better day to propose than Valentine’s Day and secretly created a chocolate line to mark the occasion without her knowing!! The song inspo for this fic is Glue Song bebadoobee.

Stop this is too cute!! mwah I love u for this anon. So sorry this took me a little too finish ): it was buried in my drafts

You smiled, saying goodbye to the customers as you changed the sign from open to closed. You leaned against the door, turning to the others.

Willy had decided to close early, saying he needed to spend time with you for Valentine’s Day.

“Where’s Willy?” You asked them, they pointed to his office upstairs.

“Thank you. Goodbye,everyone.” You said, they all said goodbye and left.

You headed upstairs, and slowly opened the door. He looked up from some papers to you with a small smile.

“Hey.”

“Hey.” You said, wrapping an arm around him, he smiled and gave you a kiss on the cheek.

“You ready?” He asked, putting away the papers into a folder.

“You don’t wanna finish up?”

He shook his head “It’s not important.” He stood up, and he laced his hand in yours, you both walked downstairs and outside.

“So, where are we going?” You asked him with a smile, the breeze was lovely.

“Well, first I was thinking we should take a walk on the beach like we did-“

“Like we did on our first date!” You said, excitement visible in your voice. He smiled at it, glad you liked it.

You smiled back, moving to give him a small peck on his lips. You both soon reached the beach, and you both took off your shoes and walked next to the water.

“It’s so nice out today.” You said, looking out beyond the water.

“It is.” His hand left yours for a second, as he picked something up from the ground.

A small crab. He held it in his hands, putting it closer to his face for a moment, before it tried to pinch at him.

Willy flinched at it, but laughed and put it back down by the water carefully. You smiled and shook your head at Willy, and he put his hand back into yours.

You both talked for a while, and then you both left the beach.

“Thank you.” You said.

“Oh, we’re not done yet.” He replied, a smile on his face. You quirked an eyebrow but he took you somewhere he could propose that wasn’t so crowded.

It was a small beautiful trail, and you both walked until you saw a river. The sight was truly magical, and best of all, it was quiet. You could only hear the sound of birds, water flowing, and Willy going through his pockets for something.

You turned to him at the sound, and he pulled out a chocolate bar. You furrowed your eyebrows but took it anyways. The wrapping was pink, on the front it said your name, then Wonka…

“Read the back.” He said, eagerly. So you flipped it around.

“Y/n, I love you more than anything else. I’ve never met anyone else like you, you are the best thing to ever happen to me. You have made my life so much better, and I’m so glad I have traveled here with you. Will you marry me?”

You stood, shocked for a moment. He waited for your reaction and you immediately wrapped your arms around him, crying into his shoulder.

“Yes!” You said, your voice muffled against him. He had started crying a bit too. The both of you had smiles on your faces as he grabbed another thing from out his pocket, a box this time.

He pulled the ring out, softly grabbing your wrist and sliding it over your finger. You admired it for a moment before loooking back to him.

“I love you.” You said to him when he cupped your face, he smiled and you kissed him.

“I love you.” He said, you both stayed there for a while until it got dark. Then, he took you home and invited you into his workshop for something.

“This, my love, is going to be the best chocolate line the worlds ever seen.” He said, motioning to the ones lined up on the table.

You looked at it, small hearts adorned on the wrappings and you smiled at him, giving him another kiss.

“Each one is specially made for you. They have your favorite flavors, colors, and little additions.”

“Oh, Willy… I’m sorry I couldn’t give you anything.” You said, suddenly feeling guilty. He’s done all this for you.

“You didn’t need to. Plus, you’re the reason the shops running right now. What better gift could I get than your love?”

[fushiglow]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "fushiglow "?

It's been a long time since I read any fic from a fandom other than JJK, so I can only think of JJK fic! Here are some that immediately come to mind (all SatoSugu to varying degrees), though I know I've missed a whole bunch off the list because this fandom is so talented:

yesterday in boldface by @chuuyasoup (any of their fic tbh)

The swallow builds its own indent. by No_Ir (any of their fic too)

愛のある場所; river of light (that brings me to you) by @yuzudetergent

coanda effect by @bunnieshoneys

the wine-dark sea (this body is not a home) by adlvnam

Split/Start by @ohsocyanide

Choke. by @valleykey

halley's comet

saturday night live by @wen-qings

Falling in love is easy. Admitting it is not. by @ellionwrites

As You Wish by @haha-funny-valentine

planetarium hypothesis (and the follow up) by @patrochlus

I will put a fic rec page/post together eventually! Also, no particular story behind the username — simply that greaterglow is my AO3 username and Megumi is my best boy. Hence, "fushiglow" which is a homophone for "Fushiguro" if you katakanise the word ♥

6. Hi, 👋

Itmf

Are there any works where

A) WY parents prepared him for emergency (if they die). May be survival skills or maybe survival kit and alert to a friend.

B) WY parents taught him not to allow others belittle him (abuse)

C) WY parents told him to not become a Jiang disciple

Thank you!

i only said | a visualizer and a teaser

cast: soobin ✗ fem.reader

synopsis: as you stood on the crowded train while making eye contact with the boy from the neighboring school. light shines into the dim train car as it becomes empty and filled with sand. approaching you is a humanoid figure, who calls you the king and queen of viliya—the island kingdom that is plagued with nightmares that haunt its people which you and the boy are also not immune to

genre: two lost souls find comfort, silent lovers, magical realism, meet ugly, hurt/comfort, adventure, thriller, coming of age, romance, high school au (both are 19 and in senior year), late 2010s au, modern royalty au, angst, fluff, mature content (phobias, trauma, war, explicit smut)

inspired by: music my bloody valentine's "i only said" (1991), txt's 2019-2020 star seekers music videos ("nap of the star", "magic island", "eternally"), and movies bridge to terabithia (2007) and tigers are not afraid (2017)

word count: 361 (teaser)

release: will not write so i can shock you ;) but it's going to be in 2024

message from the moon: i've been noticing a drought of epic and fantastical txt fics lately. so, i'm gonna do it myself :]

p.s. yes, late 2010s are already nostalgic enough that it can be its own au with its own style and tech

part of the loveless anthology

you always experience something weird when the train is nearing cheongdam. it is as if your senses are being attacked in a sweep when goosebumps form in a wave before it calms down. then it starts again as the train approaches the outdoor part of its journey to cross the body of water. the lights inside start to flicker as you see outside to view the han river from under the bridge, yet sometimes, it's not a river, but a beach.

the sky is the clear turquoise blue that reflects the seawater. the view of the river bank turns into sand that's lining the barrier of land and sea. you could sometimes hear the sound of crashing waves from it even if you only see the setting sky as it changes from day to night. though now, that turquoise sky is getting darker and darker, even darker than the sunset you usually see when you cross on the hanging tracks from the cheongdam bridge to ttukseom park.

then you see it: the visions.

quick timelapse of the neon street, crumbling buildings crashing down as their support couldn't hold on, humanoid beings who can fly as they attacked something dark. only the color orange highlights everything before you see flickers of a woman with long platinum blonde locks and white dress, calling out your name as your eyes are trying to focus on her heterochromia ones.

you've always held onto the nearest surface as you glance at the dots turning red between cheongdam and ttukseom park stations, breathing in and out as you felt your palm getting sweatier when you felt the whole compartment seemed to shake more and more as you approached the bridge and let the light from outside coming in. recently, the shakiness is getting rougher and the vision more frequent. but, you've always try to comfort yourself and see the boy across from you if he is okay.

because it seems like you're not the only one to notice all the things you've experienced, especially when you see him mumbling whilst staring at the red dots lighting up on top of the door when the train approaches the bridge.

My Love and I Did Meet

Arthur Morgan x F!Reader

➵ Fic Masterlist ➵ AO3 Link

Arthur grimaces as he heaves the saddle over his shoulder, pulling it off his mare's back as she whinnies contentedly. He lays the heavy leather over a fallen log near where he's hitched his horse, rolling his shoulder as he squeezes one eye shut. His age is catching up with him, or at least that's what he blames it on.

The sky over New Hanover blazes pink-red as the sun begins to set, and as he scans the campsite, his crystalline blue eyes not finding who he is looking for. But no matter - he knew, if you weren't in the middle of camp, you were at the edge where the woodline began. Before he knows it, his feet are taking him in that direction, purposefully and quickly.

A lightness flutters within his chest when he steps further into the woods, following the soft sound of singing.

"Down by the Salley gardens, my love and I did meet She passed the Salley gardens with little snow-white feet..."

You sit on a large branch several feet off the ground, your skirts swishing as your feet kick back and forth idly as you stare out over the river valley - if there was one thing that this campsite was good for was the view. Set high above the winding Dakota, Horseshoe Overlook was a veritable heaven compared to what the gang had just gone through in Blackwater and Colter.

"She bid me take life easy, as the leaves grow on the trees But I, being young and foolish, with her I did not agree..."

Your hair is pulled back into a loose braid hanging down your back, a bright blue silken ribbon woven through the strands. Arthur cannot help but to smile as he meanders closer, hands resting on his gunbelt.

Not that Valentine was much in the way of a destination, but the last time he was in town dropping off a bounty, the ribbon sitting in the general store's window caught his eye. He thought how it would look in your hair, and before he could catch himself, he was throwing down two dollars on the cashier's table, and tucking the ribbon into his satchel.

"Who let you look so cute today?" He drawls playfully as he steps into your space.

Your shoulders perk up as you turn around partly to see him. An adoring smile spreads across your face as Arthur steps around the branch to face you fully. His large, rough hewn hands land lightly on your hips, steadying you on your seat on the branch.

You place your own hands on his shoulders, leaning down slightly, and smile as brightly as the sun in his eyes.

"I wanted to surprise you."

Arthur leans up and meets you as you lean down to press a soft kiss to your lips, one of your hands tipping the brim of his hat backward.

A lopsided grin crossed his face as he pulls back to take you in. You wind one of your hands behind his neck and gently play with the ends of his hair at the nape.

"Ain't you just the sweetest man in the world?"

A blush radiates across his cheeks, and his eyes dart downward at the praise for a moment before he recovers his wit.

"Only for you, little darlin'."

First Time for Everything

One Shot Smut with Little Plot

Charles and Arthur awkwardly explore each other. Still working on my main fic, but also am on a Charthur jag.

1,557 Words (AO3 Link)

They needed somewhere private, but not in Saint Denis or even Rhodes. Those were still too close to Shady Belle and would risk the rest of the gang hearing rumors from locals. After hushed private discussions, they agreed to make a return to Valentine under the guise of having a robbery lead. Charles was the one to ride in first to get a room at the hotel. He wasn’t there during the shootout with Cornwall’s men, so the owner wouldn’t cause a commotion with him like he probably would with Arthur.

Arthur waited outside the town, on the side of an infrequently used trail that led to the Dakota River. He smoked two, maybe three cigarettes in a row to calm himself with his binoculars on the side of the hotel waiting for Charles’s sign from the window. As the sun set it arrived. From the upper floor in the room the owner always seemed to put people in, he saw the curtains be pulled back to block out the view of the street below.

He urged his horse forward and into Valentine. He pulled his hat down to make it harder to see his face, hoping no one remembered the great black Shire he was sitting upon. He hitched him beside Taima in front of the hotel and walked to the side of the building where there was an outside staircase to the top floor that avoided the lobby all together. Once he was in the hall the door to the room was on his immediate left. He took off his had and smoothed out his ash brown hair, taking a deep breath and lightly knocking on the door.

Charles answered with his long black hair still damp from his bath. No wonder he took so long. He put on fresher clothes, different from the weathered light blue with white dotted shirt he wore during the long and dusty ride, an outfit he started wearing when they arrived in the South. The one with the black trousers, a faded burgundy red overshirt that he only fastened at one bottom button, and a tanned leather vest that was embroidered with small colored beads in a tribal pattern in strips on both sides down the front.

Arthur just stood there, staring at the man in front of him as if he turned him into stone. He could only utter a strained and nervous “hey”.

“Hey,” Charles replied, a soft and equally clumsy smile breaking from his plump lips, “You, uh, should probably come in.”

Arthur nodded, hastily stepping over the threshold so Charles could close the door. He took off his hat and set it on a wooden chair next to a large standing mirror in the corner of the dimly lit room. His ragged satchel joined it, but not before he went into it and produced an unopened bottle of Kentucky Bourbon.

“I… Brought somethin’ for us.” Arthur said, waving the bottle to Charles.

Arthur opened the bottle and took a sip. The burn calmed the fluttering he had in his stomach, though his heart was still racing. He handed it to Charles, who also took one. They passed it back and forth until there was nothing left.

Charles set the bottle on the mantle of the fireplace. The flames caught his figure and created a blazing halo around his wide, strong, and athletic body. A golden glow washed over his dark skin. Despite having little belief in them, Arthur felt like he was looking upon an angel. His doubts possessed him like ghosts manifesting from the shadows. His heart began to race and get caught in his throat.

What if he embarrasses himself somehow? Neither of them knew what they were about to do. He had only been with women and he couldn’t even remember the last time – 5 years at least. In the world they lived in, two men lying together in the same way was seen as unnatural… An abomination to those religious type of fools.

Another thing was Arthur didn’t see himself anywhere near attractive. When he looked in the mirror all he saw was scars, blemishes where the sun he was almost always under kissed his skin, his crooked nose and chipped teeth from so many brawls, lines that set his scowls into the flesh, he still saw the stains of blood that he shed despite them being long washed away. If it came to that, would Charles even still be attracted to him when he shed his clothes?

It was only a moment that felt like an eternity, with both feeling apprehension and doubt, before Charles returned to him.

“You ready?” Charles asked, more bashfully than Arthur had ever heard from him.

“Yeah…” Arthur responded, “If you are, anyway. We don’t got to if you ain’t.”

“I think we’ll be okay.” Charles assured him, resting his large and shaky hands on Arthur’s waist. He pulled him closer, until their chests were crushed and they both could feel their pounding hearts.

Arthur nodded and breathed, “If you change your mind at any point durin’ this, tell me and we can stop…”

The air became thick as they gazed into each other’s eyes, their minds letting go of any preconceived notions they were taught by the world. Instinctually, their faces grew closer. At first their lips traced, savoring the sensation and heat of their breaths and bodies, until they pressed together. They tried to go slow, soft, building up the flame. It didn’t last very long. Arthur took Charles’s face in his hands, his thumb tracing the large scar that snaked along the right side of his face, kissing harder. He slipped his tongue into Charles’s mouth. He grasped Arthur tighter, greeting him with his own. Their faces burned with a hunger and passion neither of them expected to experience with another man.

With eager hands, Charles gently took hold of the kerchief around Arthur’s neck. He untied the knot and pulled it away, dropping it onto the floor. He unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his broad chest. Arthur let out a low grown as he felt Charles’s rough, calloused hands explore his hair covered flesh.

“I’ve always been jealous of you for this…” Charles muttered, circling the bare halo around Arthur’s nipples.

Arthur chuckled, his face and ears turning a bright red, “Ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.”

They became emboldened enough to fully undress and joined each other in the bed. In Arthur’s arms Charles felt so warm, his plush skin hiding the hard and well sculpted muscle underneath. It excited him more than he expected, his cock beginning to pulse as it swelled. He refrained from touching it, focusing on Charles instead. He pressed his mouth to an area behind his ear, working downward to his neck.

Charles never experienced such tenderness, such attentiveness to the most sensitive areas on his body. His breathing increased, Arthur’s coarse fingers messaging his breast. His head tilted back for a moment, his throat letting out a soft yet high pitched moan. The ache was becoming too intense to ignore. He reached down, taking hold of his own cock and started to slowly stroke it. He looked down and saw how hard they both were. Arthur’s was slightly longer, but incredibly thick. The skin was pulled taught away from head, which was almost purple at the edges. From the tip, a clear fluid wept in long tears that dropped onto the bedspread. Charles took one of Arthur’s hands, leading it downward to replace his own. In return he took Arthur’s. He looked deeply into his beautiful blue eyes, pupils blown in lust.

Charles filled Arthur’s hand. With each movement his shaft throbbed, eliciting a sigh or grunt from the man it was attached to. Christ… It was the most foreign and erotic thing Arthur encountered. It wasn’t enough. He took Charles’s ass and pulled him closer, until their sensitive members brushed. Arthur couldn’t close his fingers around them both. Their hips moved in rhythm, spreading Arthur’s precum until it covered their cocks and they slid against each other with ease.

Words became rendered useless. The only thing Arthur muttered between the two men’s moans was an often unused ‘fuck’.

Charles started to buck more in his grasp, panting with beads of sweat on his brow. His cock was constantly twitching, begging, desperate.

“Arthur…” Charles gasped, “Arthur, I’m going to-”

“Come for me, Charles. Let it go.” Arthur whispered. He was dangerously close too, fighting to keep it before he was ready.

A few more aggressive thrusts, then Charles tensed. His cock erupted, his seed splattering both of their stomachs. It was joined soon after by Arthur’s. He shook, riding the intensity of their orgasms until they were spent. Arthur let go, rolling onto his back and huffing to catch his breath.

They laid in a stupor for some time, paralyzed by blissful relief. Arthur got up to fetch the towel hanging off the washing stand. He wiped Charles off first before himself, throwing it across the room. He opened his arms and Charles rolled over to rest his head on Arthur’s chest, the two embracing.

“What did we tell Dutch we were goin’ out for?” Arthur asked drifting off into sleep.

“We’ll figure it out tomorrow.” Charles replied with a soft and tired laugh.

They’ve only been officially dating for about a month and a half, but things couldn’t be going any better. “What’s this?” Harry asks, nodding in the direction of the dishes in front of him. “Chicken stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham with a side of mash,” Louis says full of pride. “My little chef,” the curly haired boy grins, leaning over the table to press a soft kiss to his boyfriend’s cheek before taking a bite. “This is really good baby.”

Cupping one hand over his fist and holding them to his chest, Harry’s nose scrunches hopefully, “Would you want to get a drink before calling it a night?” Louis stares at him. “I know you’re probably tired, it’s just—” Harry sighs, wiggling his hands around nervously. “We’re both going to be alone after this and I really enjoyed talking to you, so maybe this is a little pathetic, but I could use the company?” “I, uh,” he stalls, weighing his options: either go home, have a wank, then bathe the night off, or talk more with the affable sweetheart while sharing a drink or two.

You’re a fucking brat, you know that,” Harry muttered through clenched teeth, bones already burning with the pure desire and hatred mixing in his body. It was an intoxicating rush of adrenaline and something else that probably came with fucking Louis Tomlinson. He squeezed his neck just a little tighter. “I can’t stand it.” Their lips were brushing against each other, just moving with the ragged movements of their mouths and harsh breathing. “You’re a lying piece of shit dickhead,” Louis muttered right back. That was all he did, challenge and nag. He loved to have the last word and Harry let him because he used all his energy to fuck him mindless.

17) Lead Me To Paradise | Explicit | 14,615 words

No one told Harry that a paramedic could be this pretty.

Everybody, please welcome my other good mate and Harry Styles’ Valentine Date, Louis Tomlinson!” 'Kill My Mind' played as the dusty-haired singer walked onto stage from the opposite side that Harry entered. “Thanks for having me, James.” Louis’ light voice carried well as he hugged James. With the grin still plastered to his cheeks, he looked around the bulkier man at Harry politely. “But, uh, I’m a tad bit confused. As lovely as Harry here is, you should probably both know I’m, er, into women.” There was a hint of awkward hesitation in his words. He likely thought Harry wasn’t straight and didn’t want to offend him, which Harry appreciated, even if he knew he had to say his next line despite it being utterly untrue. “The same goes to you, Louis, but I am as well.” James waved a hand flippantly. “Pish posh. Who really cares about that anyhow? Come along, boys. This is my show, so if I say you are each other’s Valentines, then you are each other’s Valentines. Now act like it!”

Private Show (NSFW)

First Lady of Private Garden Fic

AN: PURE SMUT AHEAD 🤭🤭

Synopsis: When your husband is upset and misses you, you will do absolutely anything for him.

Pairing: Husband!Jack Harlow x Wife!Reader

Requested by: a dream that I had last night lol

Do not engage if you are underage

Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere

You had just taken off your dress along with your shoes and plopped down on the bed when your phone rang indicating a facetime call. When you grabbed it from the nightstand, you saw that it was Jack and quickly answered.

"Hi baby!" You excitedly said as his face came into view, but he was simply sporting a pout which had you confused.

"Pookie, is everything okay?" You asked growing concerned since he had yet to say anything.

"Today was just a rough day and it doesn't help that I miss you." He quietly said and a sigh escaped your lips.

"Do you want to talk about it? It might help if you do."

"No, I just wanted to see your beautiful face and make sure my girl was good."

"Well, I'm fine, but my husband isn't and I don't like that."

"It'll be fine, baby. I'm probably making it more of a big deal than it has to be."

"Your feelings are valid, smush. I always tell you that. No need to hide the way you feel."

You were now taking off your jewelry and had propped up your phone in front of you when Jack finally took in the sight of you.

"Is that bra new?"

"It is, do you like it? Rih sent it to me along with a bunch of other things, but I'll save those for when I see you in person." You answered and Jack instantly smiled.

"You should have saved that one. You know how I feel about lace." Jack commented and you noticed that he kept adjusting and you raised your eyebrow.

"Babe?"

"Hmm?"

"You're bricked up right now, aren't you?" You asked while smirking.

"I'm always bricked up around you because my wife is sexy as fuck. I thought that was understood and besides it's been like three weeks since I've been in you." 

"Then I think your wife needs to help you with that. I got an idea."

"What is it because the last thing I need to get is blue balls. You about to play with that pretty pussy for me and make me cum by watching you?"

"If that's what my man wants, I'll do it. Hold on a minute."

The bottom drawer of the nightstand contained all of your toys and you immediately opened it to reach in and grabbed your dildo that was a mold made of Jack's that he got for you one Valentines Day.

When you came back in the view of the camera holding it, Jack immediately bit his lip and you could tell he was palming himself through the comforter since you could no longer see his hands. 

"Take it out, I wanna watch you. I don't know why you're acting shy around me. This is nothing compared to other things we've done."

"I'm not, I-...."

"Take it out." Jack finally complied and once you saw the precum leaking from the tip, your mouth was watering.

"Much better." You said as Jack was slowly starting to jerk himself off.

"But I need that bra off. And are you going to use the toy I made for you or simply hold it? You know what? Get your vibrator too."

Reaching over once again to the drawer, you took out your pink vibrator happy that you had charged it the night before. Once you came back into Jack's view, you slowly slid your bra off along with the panties that matched it and moved to the top of the bed spreading your legs for Jack to have a full view of you. You could already feel the river forming down below and you took it upon yourself to place the dildo in your mouth to make it wet so it would be easier to insert it.

"Got damn, baby." 

"What? I have to make sure it's wet enough so it can go in easier." You responded while laughing.

"I can guarantee you that you probably didn't even need to do that. It's like the damn ocean down there."

"Well I can't help it if my man makes me this wet all the time." You put it back in your mouth and spit began to leak out of the sides falling onto your chest.

"Play with your nipples for me. Spread that shit on them."

"Mm my baby is eager tonight isn't he? But I can do you one better." A smile graced your lips before you brought your left nipple to your mouth and lightly sucked on it making a moan escape from Jack's lips.

You looked back up at Jack after you had switched to the right one and was trying to figure out when he had lost his shirt, but there were more important things to worry about.

You were determined to do whatever your man wanted in order to get him to cum. 

The dildo left your mouth with a popping sound and you slowly inserted it letting out a quiet moan.

"Mmm, baby it feels so good." 

"That's my good girl. Take that shit." 

"Oohh, oh fuckkk."

"Is my good girl going to cum for me?" Jack asked you as you immediately nodded and focused on the task at hand while increasing your pace.

"Use your words, baby. And stop holding back. I wanna hear you."

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes, daddy. I'm going to cum for you."

"Put that vibrator on your clit." 

You reached with your left hand to where it was and put it on the lowest setting before hearing Jack's voice once again.

"I know your ass didn't just put it on the lowest setting. Turn it up. I want to see those legs shaking."

You complied as you placed your left hand to hold the vibrator on your clit while using the right to keep your dildo going at the same space.

Your eyes were closed, but you opened them to see Jack jerking himself off to your movements and the moans that he was letting out was putting you over the edge.

"Oh shit, baby I'm about to…." You breathlessly said while turning up your vibrator to the highest setting that it would go to.

"Fuck, me too."

Within the next thirty seconds, you squirted all over the sheets and your phone and it took you by surprise since the only time it ever happened, Jack had been the reason for it.

Jack was coming down from his high, but was looking just as surprised as you were because of what just happened.

"Well shit. Look who taught herself how to squirt." 

"I.. don't even know what I did differently. But I'm definitely going to try to do it again." You said while taking the dildo out and inserting it into your mouth once again and sucking on it.

"Fuck, I can't wait until that pretty little mouth of yours has my dick in your mouth."

"Technically it already does baby seeing as this is a mold of yours. But I get it. Do you feel better?" You asked while setting the dildo and vibrator to the side.

"Yes, thank you baby."

"You know I'll do anything for you." A smile graced your face as you simply looked at him and he smirked.

"Right back at you, baby."

"Smush, is something wrong?"

"Do you have one more in you?" 

"Hmm, depends. What's next baby?"

"I want you riding it this time."

"I expect a generous tip when I see you in three days." 

"You know that you're about to get a lot more than that. You got some Louboutins waiting for you. Be a good girl for me and I just might throw in a Birkin and another Givenchy outfit."

"Let's get to it then."
