Purina apparently discontinued and then reformulated the only canned food I've found so far that Griffin's extraordinarily sensitive tummy can tolerate, adding one of his potential worst allergens to nearly the top of the formulation list. I have sent a Karen-like e-mail to Purina, and am now having to have five million tabs open on different pet food websites to put the ingredient lists of everything under a microscope to try and find something remotely close.
#(look he's my special boy he has very special needs)#like he has one brand of dry dog food he can eat#so he won't starve#but he gets the canned wet food on top because of other gi issues#related to last year's emergency surgery#but on an unrelated rant: why the FUCK would you put LIVER in your sensitive stomach formula#it literally registers as a 5000 on griffin's allergy test#i believe 80 was the cutoff limit before it starts causing problems#so like he had some cranberry supplements he was getting after a uti#that had beef liver in it#and it would immediately start him on an episode that would take several days to calm his stomach down#so if i had not looked at that ingredient label and started feeding him this#i would have had at the very least a giant mess to clean up

one of my number one pieces of advice for transmascs starting t or who want to start t is WASH YOUR FACE. when you wake up and when you go to bed. get a decent acne-preventing facial cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer or whatever works for you and have a routineâ preferably before going on t so youâre already used to it. my doctor was really surprised that I hadnt gotten much acne since starting t (almost 2 years now) and though itâs also partly genetics, I know for a Fact based on how quickly my face gets oily now that itâd be infinitely worse if not for getting used to washing my face more often/thoroughly. remember. yes this is like Puberty 2 BUT you have the fuckin heads up this time and can plan accordingly and that makes a BIG difference
#kibumblabs#transmasc#trans man#advice#hrt#idk why I felt the need to make this PSA but. yeah its important#I also recommend using some tretanoin overnight if need be#I never had a legit skincare routine until starting t and now itâs like. a requirement#I need it to Survive#for reference I use aveeno clear complexion foam face cleanser and Trader Joeâs brand oil-free facial moisturizer#the latter i lowkey stole from my roommate cause she got it as a gift and never used it and probably it forgot it existed#not some specialized brand or anything but itâs surprisingly really nice- and Iâm real picky about what I put on my face cause itâs real#easy for moisturizers to make me feel real greasy (and without any moisturizer my skin dries out and gets patchy dry spots)#itâs very light and odorless but it does itâs job and a little goes a long way#this sounds like a sponsored ad now but look. Iâm just saying#honestly itâs a fucking miracle I didnât get terrible breakouts in middle school during Puberty 1 cause man I. I didnât take my eyeliner off#when I went to bed alot of the time. and I donât think I really washed my face at all#I have no idea how I lived like that it would drive me fucking insane as an adult#half cause of skin being more sensitive to that sorta thing now but half because Iâm just way more of a neatfreak for lack of a better word#now and itâs so easy for me to feel uncomfortable when things arenât clean and cleaned in a certain way#anyway Iâm rambling

ââ â come and put your name on it â
special treatment : lap edition
âŸââ§âș...ft. : gojo satoru + geto suguru + nanami kento + fushiguro toji + hakari kinji
âŸââ§âș...cw : cockwarming, somnophilia, dirty talk, grinding + dry humping, fingerfucking, overstimulation, praise kink, edging, oral fixation, satoru's silly pet names, suguru being smug, kento being a desperate man, toji being toji, kinji being a bully
⧠g. satoru : sometimes gojo knows he fucks you too good to the point you can't think after, something he brags about to you all the time. but when you snuggle up to him, still stuffed with his cock and warm with his cum, he can't help but run his hands all over you. and when he realizes you fell asleep on his dick, his heart squeezes and his cock throbs hard.
"pretty angel, did you fall asleep? oh, that's just precious...you're making my heart squeeze, i wish i had my phone, you look so cute like this." "did you say my name? dreaming about me? god, you're so precious, i could just fuck you like this...shit, don't fuckin' squeeze on me like that, are you having a wet dream right now? god, i love you so fucking much." "aww, my little mochi is so cute! look at youuu, you're gushin' all over the place. messy fucking pussy too small to keep my cock and all my cum inside you." "mm, fuck, pretty thing. you wakin' up? hi pretty girl...oooh, fuck, d-did you just cum? holy fuck, c'mon, baby, on your back, lemme fuck you, princess, let 'toru make you cum again, yeah?â
⧠g. suguru : suguru's softly cooing at you when you sleepily walk into the living room, whining to him that you had a dream and you wanted him to 'fix the problem he caused.' all he can do is just chuckle at how childish and bratty you can be as his hands are moving up and down your sides while he grinds up into you.
"you're such a brat, you know that right? always blaming me for your dreams. it's not my fault you can't stop thinking about how good i fuck you." "hmm? ooh, i see...you keep having dreams of me cumming inside you, hm? are you trying to say something, princess? d'you want me to start breeding you?" "i didn't say stop moving, did i? or do you need me to do all the work? heh, so spoiled, i've spoiled you absolutely rotten." "i know, but just cum once like this, won't you? if you do, i promise i'll fill your cute pussy with my cum, okay? mhm, promise, princess, i'll give you what you need."
⧠n. kento : nanami loves having you close to him, especially when you sit in his lap. it lets him nuzzle his nose into your neck, pressing little kisses where he can while your legs are spread over his strong thighs, his thick fingers leisurely pumping in and out of your needy hole, chuckling against your skin whenever you jolt.
"honey, have i mentioned how gorgeous you are? you look so beautiful like this...spread open and wanting, just for me." "you're sucking my fingers in so well. look at that...do you think you can take a third?" "it's so messy. look at what you've done to my fingers, honey, they're soaked. clean them off for me, i want you to taste yourself before i put them back in. maybe tonight we can make you squirt, hm? do you wanna try, darling?" "you think you're going to cum again? poor thing, your little cunt is so greedy, she just wants to cum over and over again on my fingers...is my cock not good enough for you, mm? aww, don't pout, i'm just teasing you, darling." "i know, i know, it's too much, but you can take it. be my good girl, just take it and keep cumming until you can't anymore."
⧠f. toji : sitting on toji's lap is, in his mind, an invitation for him to run his hands all over you. his cock is already hard in his sweats, but he's subdued the second you get comfortable and slowly grind against him, groaning when you press sweet kisses into his neck.
"tch, are you gonna let me fuck your thighs t'night? pretty please? yeah, that's right, i'm askin' nicely. why? don't play stupid, doll, you know what they do to me." "shit...keep moving those hips, sweetheart, you feel so fuckin' good like this." "god, i can feel that pretty pussy leaking through my sweats. big bad toji make you that fuckin' wet, mama? y'like grinding that clit on my dick through my pants? dirty fucking girl." "mmh, you keep tugging my hair like that and I'm not even gonna take you to the bedroom, i will fuck you into this damn couch, woman.â "listen here, wifey, I'll wreck your cunt until you can't think about anything but me inside you. hell, I'll ruin this stupid couch in the process, i don't give a fuck about stainin' it."
⧠h. kinji : when you sit on kinji's lap, it's when he's watching a fight on tv. you can tell it's not going how he wants it to go, the toothpick between his teeth being gnawed on. when you make eye contact with him, he just raises an eyebrow, one of his hands squeezing your hip.
"cupcake, do me a favor and get on my dick before i get up and give us a reason to get a new tv." "hey, hey, don't move yet, let me see if he lands this punch...don't whine like that before i put my fingers in that pretty little mouth t' shut you up." "you always squeeze so tight when i press down on your tongue like this...pretty thing likes that shit, doesn't she? go on, fuck yourself on my dick while you drool all on my fingers like a slut." "mm, shit, baby, i can't focus on that bullshit fight, lemme help you. yeah, thaaaat's it, let your boy fuck you nice and deep, make ya cream, juuuust like this."

NSFW Alphabet: Wolverine
a/n: I was excited to write a nsfw version of this because his character was surprisingly fun and easy to write for this. I like Logan because you can really be flexible with how he is in bed. It all depends on preference and writer ofc, but still it was fun to write. Wrote mostly gender neutral, on parts where body is described, I wrote for afab and amab. Not edited please ignore mistakes ty <3
18+ under the cut. MDNI.
A = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex):
Aftercare king.
He knows just what to do, especially since sex with him is normally pretty rough and crazy. He leaves you a mess under him and you're barely able to walk. "Atta girl/boy, princess/prince, up you come." he grabs hold of you and lifts you up, carrying you to the bathroom to get you all clean.
He's a messy partner so you need a shower to get all the sex off you. He leaves you alone to do anything you need privately, but otherwise he's helping you maintain your balance in the shower and drying off.
You're in such a dazed state, you feel dizzy and lightheaded, still a little loopy. He will get you back to bed and lay you down, feeling pride and satisfaction within himself at how he could bring you to such a state. Only he could do that to you.
He will hold you close to him, you feel cold now, his body will warm you up. He likes skin to skin, so unless you want a shirt, he won't dress you so he can feel your softer skin against his own.
The praise he gives you makes you feel so special and worth so much, it helps when you come down from your high, knowing he was satisfied and loved every moment of the act.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs):
I don't think he really has a favorite part of his partner, but I will die on the hill that he likes his partners a little chunky. He loves to grab onto you, he likes how he can manhandle you without worry of hurting you.
Those plush hips and belly drive him insane. If you are afab, your ass draws his hand in every single time and he loves to smack and grab it. If you are amab, he will grab onto your thighs or soft, relaxed chest muscles and squeeze them. Both afab and amab, his hands come around from behind and gently knead your belly.
Logan is a dude so on himself...he holds his manhood very high, and for good reason.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically):
Filthy.
He gets that shit all over the place and he loves it.
He loves marking you inside and out. He loves shooting his spunk on your body just as much but something about releasing inside you makes him somehow cum harder and with more.
He's not that bad taste wise, I mean cum doesn't taste great, but he's not bad. Not too bitter, not too salty, but his cum is thick. And when he does climax, he cums a LOT.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs):
Logan, being a primal mutant, loves scents. It's one of the things that he relies on a lot, and your scent is intoxicating. He steals some of your clothes and smells them, or sometimes he will dive into your crotch and inhale you.
Not exactly dirty, but Logan secretly likes when you scratch his head or mess with his hair after sex. He likes to keep himself up as a tough guy most of the time but when you wind down, even if he's the one holding you, he sometimes scoots down enough to let you play with his hair.
He will move his head where he wants your hand to scratch and leans into it when you reach that sweet spot.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?):
He's over 200 years old, he's got experience.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying):
Literally anything where he can watch you mewl and moan for him.
He also likes from behind or positions where he can watch his cock sink into you with each thrust.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.):
Logan isn't goofy but he also isn't serious. He's open to messing around and with tossing, turning, all sorts of play, it's not going to be serious 100% of the time.
He will chuckle and tease, sometimes funny noises are made, that's just how it is, and you both will laugh a little...but then you get back to it because who can resist?
Sometimes he will play fight you, wrestle you down to the bed and hold you there, with ease, and he smirks down at you trying to overpower him. It's a fun way to rile him up for sex and he enjoys it quite a bit.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.):
Logan is hairy, but not insanely so. I think below he is pretty crazy but he trims it down enough once you two get more intimate. Though he thought it was funny watching you spit out his pubes.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect):
He can be romantic but he is more passionate than anything. He likes to make sure you feel good, and he loves doing it. Once he gets you feeling good, he gets a little more rough and tells you what he likes without shame.
He's very forward, and his communication in the bedroom is immaculate. You wished he were like that outside of the bedroom sometimes, because there's no hesitation, no secrets, he's fully confident and tells you exactly what he wants.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon):
Sometimes he masturbates, sometimes he doesn't. It all depends on how horny he is in the moment.
He'll fist his cock to the thought of you, or since he likes your scent a lot, he will practically inhale your underwear and jerk himself until he cums all over his hand.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks):
Logan...he's kinky as hell.
Dom/sub dynamics drive him up the wall. He loves being in control, manhandling you, having you listen to what he says without fail.
Slight primal play would be up his alley. The playful wrestling and fighting gets him going and he likes to bite and mark you up during sex. Almost looking like an animal attacked you, but no, it was just Logan marking you as his.
Dirty talk king. He is so brazen with his language, whispering it into your ear as he pounds your poor, swollen hole full of another load.
Praise, praise, praise! He loves to praise you and how good you take his thick cock inside you.
Overstimulation/denial, he loves the control. He often makes you cum multiple times before even penetrating you just to hear you cry and whimper for him.
Maybe a slight breeding kink, since he loves the idea of filling you up to the brim with his thick cum, (this goes regardless of afab or amab), he's going to fill you up regardless if it's biologically possible to impregnate you or not. It's just for fantasy anyway.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do):
He will do it anywhere he feels like. He doesn't care who sees. You're his and he likes everyone around you to know it.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going):
I love that most everyone agrees that wearing his clothes makes him fucking feral. He would lose it seeing you in a shirt of his...or maybe even naked and only wearing a flannel. Slowly unclasping each button to make him growl and almost rip the damn thing off you.
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs):
He'd never want to hurt you. There are things he likes that might harm you but he doesn't actually want to cause you harm.
He can be rough and he doesn't want to actually hurt you. A spank or choking just enough to get you dizzy is about as far as he would go. Logan would never intentionally try to harm you, especially during something as intimate as sex.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.):
He has a hard time picking what he likes better. He loves diving between your legs and lapping you. But he also loves to see you choke around his thick cock.
Logan loves the dirtiness of it, his dick in your throat and watching you try your best to please him. He loves seeing you choke and gag on him, your face gets so sloppy with spit and cum, it makes him more crazy in bed when he's fucking you.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.):
With Logan it can be 50/50. He can be rough and hard, or slower and passionate. Most of the time he is ensuring you cum multiple times, and then he fucks you into the bed while you cry around his cock. Then, he gives you another orgasm, he cums, and the cycle repeats until you literally can't take it anymore.
Then he cleans you up and makes sure you know how good you were for him. You'll have trouble walking for a few days.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.):
He's down for a quickie, he can make you cum fast when he wants to. However he does prefer to make you whine and beg instead of giving you a solid, quick orgasm unless you really need it.
Sometimes he needs a quick one too, so a fast blowjob helps. But again, he likes to take his time rather than rush it.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.):
He takes plenty of risks. He loves to test the waters with you and experiment with all sorts of things. He's down to try almost anything.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?):
His mutation allows him to have enhanced stamina so be prepared for that.
He can go for literal hours and not be tired at all. His mutation also allows his refectory period to be very short. So...you will be filled to the brim.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?):
I don't think he would have any for himself, but he would start to grow a collection if you had any or showed interest in some. He'd keep them under his bed in his room whenever you wanted to spice things up.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease):
Logan is the king of teasing you. He loves to tease until you can't take it and tears are rolling down your cheeks.
He always gives you what you want in the end, but not without that asshole making you beg.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.):
He doesn't give two shits who hears him, or you, he is loud. He grunts, groans, snarls. Not to mention the insane level of dirty talk he does, and he loves to make you scream out his name.
By the time you're done, you swear half the mansion heard you.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character):
He dirty talks like crazy.
Sometimes he will fuck you when you're wearing his clothes, or when he comes back from a mission, he doesn't bother cleaning up before he storms up to your shared room and he fucks you.
Angry sexxx
He lets out his frustrations from missions as he pounds into you.
"Goddamn slim, stupid fuckin' self-designated leader thinks he can boss me around like I'm nothin' but a loyal scout to 'em." he grunts and snarls with each plap of his hips into you, his cock driving against you. You have no idea what happened on the mission but can you complain? No.
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes):
Logan's dick is huge let's get that out of the way.
He's thick, it feels like he rips you open each time he penetrates you and it feels fucking incredible. That also means lots of foreplay~
He's veiny, his cock throbs as he stands erect, and his balls are heavy.
He's a good 8 to 8.5 inches fully erect, the damn thing leaks precum constantly when he's horny.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?):
Insanely high. He will fuck you every single day if he could.
He is down to fuck all the time, anytime. You just have to say the word and he's on top of you.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards):
Logan makes sure you're comfortable before he even attempts to sleep. He stays awake, letting you curl into him and he watches you, making sure nothing he did was too much or causing pain.
Once you seem okay and have fallen asleep, he will allow himself to relax and fall asleep beside you.
Thanks for reading.

pairings: dark!coriolanus snow x innocent!wife!reader
warnings: erm weâre back at it with another dark corio! possessiveness, literal murder, threats, vulgarity, nc touching -dumbification/babying, emotional manipulation and vulnerability, sexual undertones and thoughts, ownership?? NOT PROOFREAD
summary: coriolanus had to marry. lucky for him one of the most eligible girls of the capitol was up for grabs. only problem? he hoped his cold exterior would keep her away but nothing broke her sweet spirit. what happens when he finds himself being drawn to her light? and how far was he willing to go to keep it untainted and all to himself?
word count: 2.09k words
a/n: i swear i can only think of dark ideas for him because he is practically crayz - i loved this concept tho so enjoyyyy - annoyed i canât find any post-lucy gifs snd iâve already used the other one help me plz
taglist: @sleepydang @aspieundercover @darktrashsoulbear @3lliesrifle @rafeysbafey @zejjef @themorriganisamonster @cryfordemie @winterblu2 @earthangel-111 @taylarxse @alexameliamg @katastrophic04 @jjggdfvvy @joshwifeyslaymamaballs @10ava01 @kis9na @princessdaella @princessloveweird @prettybiching @justacaliforniandreamer @bxtchopolis @witchafterz @har-rison-s
PART TWO
coriolanus wanted nothing more than a relaxing night. heâd been at a campaign meeting for about four hours and heâd gotten absolutely nothing out of it.
he was in the right mind to fire them all and work it himself but he knew he couldnât. all he wanted was to go home, have a bath drawn for him, eat dinner with you and go to sleep.
coriolanus had seen a number of weird things in his life but nothing was weirder than seeing you, hanging up the laundry to dry. youâd stopped him in his tracks but hadnât yet noticed his presence as you hummed to yourself and went about your business. after staring in confusion for a few minutes he cleared his throat, ây/n. what are you doing?â you turned towards him with a smile, âitâs christmas! so i sent the staff home for the rest of the day so they could be with their families. donât worry i had them prepare your bath, dinner and everything else. there were some things left to do so i thought, why not do them myself? i cleaned my room and yours, ironed the previous batch of laundry and placed them away, dusted the library and i was hanging up the laundry until you showed!â you beamed as you continued to hang the clothing.
coriolanus took a seat on one of the lawn chairs as you continued. he decided to watch you, to make sure you were okay. because who on earth wants to do laundry? that was the very reason you had so many servants. but here you were.
âyou can head inside corio, no need to wait for me!â you said sweetly. coriolanus was a strong man, always rational. but god when you spoke so sweetly to him- no. âthereâs no need, iâll wait till youâre done.â
the sun was hanging low as the last rays illuminated the dining room. youâd set out candles, flowers and other pieces on the table. back home you loved setting the table, until your father would reprimand you for doing something you didnât need to. what will people say if my daughter is acting as a servant?
but right now you felt at ease.
you had a good life. good friends which were rare to find in the capitol. good family and a good husband. he was proper, took care of you in every way, even if he didnât love you, you were grateful to be married to someone you liked. admired. youâd heard whispers of corioâs childhood, his depleted resources and poor upbringing. but you couldnât care less. he was more of a man than anyone you knew. and he was extremely pretty, your parents wouldâve probably married you off to whomever they thought would help with social standings so this match? a lifeline.
coriolanus kept himself in check. he was up for presidency, his name and wealth restored and he was respected and feared. you were a diamond in the rough. whilst all the other girls in the capitol were, special, to say the least, you werenât like them. first of all, he could tolerate you. like you even. you were exceptionally smart, well-read and spoken, respectful of those worthy but even those beneath you. you were kind, not the fake kind of the capitol. kind to everyone, helping everyone however you could.
and to him it was more than perfect. someone kind would be easy to have, easy to be married to. he knew from the second he saw you as marriage material that youâd never endanger those around you. you cared, enough to put your happiness to the back of the line. youâd be easy to control. after the wedding he expected you to be clingy, desperate for his love and affection. as any girl would from their husband, but you kept your distance. you didnât push yourself on him, you did your duty. you did what was required and more. but you always listened, listened to him.
so he assumed youâd be easy to be married to, but he was always in awe of you. your sweet smiles every time you passed eachother in the halls, in the morning at breakfast and at night for dinner. always catering to him.
âwhat should i wear?â âyou can choose.â âyou tell me.â âitâs your choice.â and god did it inflate his ego. you were always asking about him, how his day was, what he did, who he saw etc. but it wasnât just small talk, you were always listening. absorbing his words like a sponge, wide eyes, head nodding along dumbly. he loved it. and over the year he found himself, caring, on the inside at least.
every time youâd go out there were hungry eyes consuming you. your face, body everything. and he wanted to personally pluck out each eyeball and feed it to their families. so again, overtime, heâd shield you, protect you. his sweet wife who knew nothing of what the others wanted to do to her. a hand on your back, an arm around your waist, a peck on your forehead and his large red coat around you. all for show right?
he wanted to puke.
the smell of cabbage wafted to his nose and he was oh so close to putting this fist through the wall. who on earth-
you were humming, again. âcorio!â your voice was music to his ears, corio, no one said it to him anymore. not even tigris. but he only liked, only wanted it to come from you. âdinner is served, some of your favourites are here. i asked tigris what you use to eat as a kid. ooh, you never told me you liked cabbage, me too! guess thatâs another thing we have in common.â you beamed as you walked over with a bottle of wine, âtell me when to stop.â
he eyed you up the entire time. trying to catch a fleck of disgust whilst you ate, andddd, nothing. you werenât lying, you actually liked it. he swallowed his own fear and began to eat.
âmm, i was wondering what you wanted me to wear tonight? iâd like to match corio, if thatâs okay with you.â corio smiled slightly, âi would like to match. i have something i would like you to wear tonight sweetheart.â your eyes darted forwards as the word fell, sweetheart.
you couldnât help the smile that came to your face, he only used terms like that in public. and based on his reaction afterwards, of which there was none, it meant that he probably didnât even realise. or he did, you could never read him.
the red dress did things to coriolanus. the idea of you in it has his head spinning, but to actually see you in it? he wanted to throw you onto his bed and never let you out.
but to you it looked as if he was studying the dress rather than looking at you in it. âyou look good.â you grinned, âthank you corio! i love your suit, you look very handsome.â you straightened his suit as he looked over your shoulder, your back was bare. âdo you have a throw?â you quickly nodded and picked it up from the dresser. âgood.â you already got a million stares in ordinary clothing, tonight was going to test his patience and anger.
the gala was gorgeous. for once there wasnât ugly statues and weird color matches. a clean and pristine white hall, chandeliers, gold accents.
your heels clicked on the floor as coriolanus held his arm for you. âyour hand please.â corio stared, waiting for your further explanation. âwhen we link arms your arm is too high for me. i end up with my arm at my neck.â you laughed as he lent his hand, which you gladly took.
stares and compliments at every corner of the room, everyone was looking at you two. the future president and first lady of panem. a match made in the capitol. you and coriolanus made the rounds, talking to present sponsors, potential sponsors and other candidates, much to coriolanusâs distaste. after a while you realised you were sort of just standing there, so you excused yourself for a drink and a closer view of the band.
âyou look, ravishing.â charles operman. a sight which no one wanted to see, but to you he was just an ex-peer of the academy. âcharles! thank you, corio picked it out for me.â youâd missed the way his jaw clenched at the mention of your husband, but you were to engrossed by the angelic singer and band. âyou know, i always thought weâd end up together.â
the abruptness of his sentence had you choking on your drink, âexcuse me, iâm married charles. iâm sorry if you thought that we would be together, i see you as a friend. iâd hate to lose a friend.â you smiled as he got uncomfortably closer and leaned into your ear, hand on your bare back.
coriolanusâs grip on his cup was tightening as he listened to lucky drone on and on. he wanted to see the life leave charlesâs eyes, maybe his head would make as a nice present for you. âexcuse me.â he nodded his head as he placed his cup on a passing waiters tray. you were helpless, and he was here to help you.
his breath was hot in your ear and you could smell the liquor on him as he was grabbed from you. âcoriolanus, sir.â charles mocked salute as coriolanus stared at him, maybe he thought if he stared long enough hed burn into the floor. coriolanus rarely smiled, but this one was unsettling to say the least.
âif you ever put your hands on my wife, look at her, speak to her. it will be the last time you do so. i might just call in a favor with dr gaul, i hear your fond of snakes?â charlesâs eyes widened, he hated snakes. he couldnât even watch the 10th hunger games, the second he saw the snakes he ran to the bathroom and hurled.
âwhen i become president, you better keep yourself in line. itâd be horrible to see your family in the games no?â charles took a step back, âyou canât do that, iâm capitol.â coriolanus drew back,
âyou wonât be for long.â
you couldnât believe your eyes, of course heâd protect you but, threatening? heâd never do it right? the shutters of cameras had you reaching for corio, âcan we leave my love?â coriolanus turned to you, âof course sweetheart.â
heâd stayed up for a long time. a smile came to his face when he remembered the sound of charlesâs neck snapping. the door creaking open revealed a disheveled you, âcorio? are you awake?â he sat up as you released a breath.
âwhat is it y/n?â you took a shy step forward, âi uhm, i canât stop thinking about charles. he scared me, i didnât know what to do corio. i-â you couldnât stop the tears from falling as coriolanus swiftly got out of bed, helping you into his bed. âi- can i sleep here tonight? please?â
this was definitely not how he first expected to have you in his bed, but how could he say no to you? your hair in its braid, messy and lose, puffy eyes and tear stained face. he wished heâd first seen you cry underneath him but heâd take what he could get. what he didnât expect was for him to like this, the scene of you crying, needing him. he was the one who could help you, console you, coddle you.
coriolanus nodded as he moved back to the bed, tucking himself and you in softy, caressing your hair and kissing your forehead. god heâd held out for so long, denied himself and his feelings but having you in his arms was all he could ever want, but the idea of being in you flooded his head.
would you cry like this? would you shout and scream? did you like it soft and sweet? he couldnât be soft and sweet, heâd savour the moment but he loved the idea of unravelling you, heâd be the only one to see you like this, him being the only one to make it happen.
you curled into his chest, like a baby. your soft cries and whimpers went straight to his crotch and soon enough you were asleep.
his sweetheart, his delicate little wife.
corios hand slipped downwards and into your pants, he promised himself he just wanted to feel but god you made it difficult. he saved you tonight, didnât he deserve a reward? didnât matter if you detested he had you where he liked. so he slowly rolled over and placed you on the bed.
your eyes fluttered at the change of placement but he couldnât care less. he was done waiting.
you squirmed underneath him in your sleep but his worries faded away.

She huffs lightly when she hears the low growl of the familiar soldier in the room next door, followed by her nurse griping and trying to work with him. Entering behind, she lays a hand on the womanâs shoulder. âGo on, Paula, I got him,â she says with a smile and Paula practically screams in relief as she leaves the exam room.
She gives him a fond smile. âNow, Lieutenant, what have I said about antagonizing my nurses?â
He scowls at her. âI donât like âem.â
âI know but I still need you to be kind when theyâre simply trying to do their jobs.â
âI donât like anyone touchinâ me but you.â Heâs still scowling behind his mask, holding his side where she can see the black material stained a darker color.
âWell arenât I special,â she murmurs, closing the exam room door before walking over. âYou know the drill.â
He lifts his sweatshirt wordlessly along with the t-shirt heâs got underneath and she sighs at the sight of a cut about four inches long riding up his ribs.
âDo I even want to know how?â She asks.
âTraininâ with Soap,â he mutters. ââeâs a slippery litâle bastard when âe needs to be.â
She snorts and goes about pulling on a pair of latex gloves before she begins to clean his wound with antiseptic. He doesnât make a sound though she knows it stings like a bitch and the only show of irritation from him is the way his muscle ripple beneath her touch.
âI thought I said not to get wounded anymore.â
âDidnât listen,â he simply shrugs.
âIf I had half a mind, Iâd assume you did this on purpose so you could come see me.â
He rolls his eyes. âDonât flatter youâself. I donât like you that much.â
A laugh escapes her as she checks the depth, ultimately deciding on a few stitches for his wound. âOh I know you like me plenty, Simon.â
Simon.
She only says his name in privacy when no one can hear them. He hates the way his chest feels funny, sternum scratchy with an itch he canât get to.
ââS Lieutenant,â he retorts.
âOf course, of course,â she hums. âMy most sincerest apologies, Lieutenant Riley.â
He scowls again but that itch returns when she begins to stitch his wound carefully.
After a few minutes, she sets the clipped thread down and admires her handiwork. âAll done, sweetheart,â she says with a gentle smile and wipes it carefully before putting a bandage on it. âDonât get it wet andââ
âKeep it dry and clean,â he finishes. âI know.â
She laughs and pokes the nose to his mask. âMaybe one day you will learn.â
She watches as he redresses himself before standing, waving off the bottle of pills she hands to him.
âDonât need âem.â
âItâs just some ibuprofen, Lieutenant.â
âDonât need âem,â he repeats with a growl and she rolls her eyes.
âYou are so stubborn for no reason,â she says and places her hands on her hips. âAnd after all the care I just gave you.â
He looks at her for a solid moment before he leans over and kisses her cheek through his mask. âThank you, love,â he mutters. âFor takinâ care of me.â
She goes uncharacteristically quiet, cheeks getting hot and he smirks at her.
âAinât got nothinâ to say? Cat got your tongue?â
She glares at him half-heartedly. âGet out of my clinic, Lieutenant.â
As he heads for the door, he pauses and looks at her. âItâs Simon, to you.â He says, and closes the door behind him.

Even if their characterization should be off coz their personality is based on Super Sons (that's why they are more goofy and lighthearted)...it still shouldn't make sense. If there's someone who should be a mess smelly slob, that'll be Jon, never Damian (the kid was the perfect protege on that series, and Jon was the noodle-finger finger-lickin' snackin' fun-shaped one).
Heck, the hygiene care of Damian should be even be of argan oil, jojoba, moroccan oil and other natural essential oils for hair and skin. Not because he's picky, but because that's what his family used in Middle East.
Do you think Talia 'fashion-icon-slay-queen' al Ghul, would not teach her son how to do proper natural personal care???
And if you think this is too much, nope, live in any arid places near the Equator, and let's see if smelling okay for private and public places would not make you self-conscious to do the barest minimum of taking care of your own body...??? Self care should not be luxury! It's part of being human.
Can DC stop with this "dirty Damian" jokes? It's not funny and in character. Damian was raised as a prince. Why the fuck would he not be clean?
I don't know if Damian being an Arab is playing a part of this but DC should be more careful with what they are writing with their POC characters.
#And he definitely wash hands in the toilet#not just toilet paper down there#coz I don't get it how western thinks its clean with just dry tissues#My family use coconut extracts and oils for our hair#we even collect the perfect river/pumice stone for skin scrub when we go to natural hot springs near us#so yep#Self care is not luxury#Specially if you're just using natural homemade productsâŠ#they are cheap#It's not the natives fault the ingredients were capitalized for exoticness.#I went off tangent didn't I? Lol

Couldn't get the idea of taking care of Hawks' wings off my mind. Not proofread <3
Keigo is really protective and sensitive when it comes to his wings. They're his quirk, the reason why he can move at such high speeds and keep civilians safe. The reason why he's at number two. This also means he takes delicate care of his feathers. He has a special shampoo made just for people with quirks like his. While the shampoo is gentle on his feathers, the spa attendants he gets his wings washed from aren't as gentle. They forget that too much pressure can hurt his bones, even if they're strong. Sometimes, the excessive and harsh scrubbing makes his feathers look like he got into a fight with pigeons.Â
But he doesn't have to worry about all that now. Not when he has you with your soft and caring touch.Â
Wash days were once stressful for Keigo, but now they're a sweet and intimate moment he gets to share with you as he sits on the edge of the bathtub in his bathroom, big enough for him to spread his wings without knocking a few things over. You stand behind him, showering water onto his wings before lathering the shampoo onto the length of his wings, slowly moving down to the feathers.Â
Things easily got heated between you two, especially since he sat there buck naked with your voice whispering sweet nothings in his ear as you helped him with his wings. But most of the time, it was just a quiet and serene moment where you got to take care of him. He deserved to be pampered after all the hard work he did.Â
Sometimes, you press kisses on the nape of his neck and the gap between his wings. He sighs dreamily whenever he feels your warm and delicate touch on his feathers, his wings fluttering ever so slightly. After cleaning his feathers, you run water on his wings again. He flaps them a few times after you're done, sprinkling water over you and making you squeal.Â
He knows washing his wings is no easy task, so after you're done, he shoos you out of the bathroom to wash his hair, but on days he's too tired, he lets you massage the shampoo into his hair. You help him dry off afterwards, blow dryer on the low setting when you move from his hair to his wings. A few flaps of his wings can do the task, but you do not want water all over your walls.Â
After his feathers are dried, you apply the special oil he gets made just for his wings. It leaves his crimson feathers bright and lustrous. He hops in bed afterwards, holding you into him so he can feel your warmth engulf him. He nuzzles into your neck, his freshly cleaned, fluffy hair tickling your chin. He props up on an elbow and brushes his lips against yours, his voice a gentle whisper, "Thank you."
#i love him#i wanna take care of him :((((#my silly man#keigo takami#keigo x reader#hawks x reader#keigo takami x reader#bnha#keigo takami x you#mha hawks#hawks fluff#azzo writes

special delivery
eddie munson x fem!reader
A quiet night at home turns into something else entirely when Eddie Munson shows up to deliver your pizza.
Isnât this how all mediocre pornos great love stories start?
18+ MDNIâ8.1k
cw: light alcohol/weed use, discussions of poor sex-periences, bed sharing, down bad eddie, fingering/oral (fem receiving)
I edged myself a little with this, itâs like a 7:1 ratio of fluff to smut with nothing but tensionnn in between. Just how I like it.
You didnât mind being alone. Not really.
Truth be told, you kind of preferred a nice quiet night to yourself every now and again. It gave you a chance to read without interruption; to watch a long stretch of episodes of your favorite show you had seen a hundred times before; to indulge in a lengthened version of your skincare routine.
But lately youâd been having a lot of quiet nights.
Winter had settled fully in Hawkins, the frigid weather and barrage of storms lately making it difficult to go out at night or do much of anything other than sit inside and count the walls. And with Robin gone for the whole weekend, the relentless silence of your apartment only made it worse.
You made an honest effort to remedy the situationâsending a handful of texts to anyone you thought might be available, only to come up empty. Nancy and Jonathan were out celebrating some anniversary. Steve had a date with whatever girl he had conned into thinking he was charming enough to go out with this week. And Chrissy was fully buried underneath her coursework, but she âcould definitely do something next week!â
So that was that. You knew Argyle was working his usual shift, so you hadnât bothered to text him. Instead, dialing the number for Surfer Boy as you resolved to drown your sorrows in a pizza loaded with all the toppings Robin always gagged at whenever you suggested them.
It was impossible for you not to beam when the man himself answered, the roughness in his voice indicating he was currently surrounded by a fresh cloud of his beloved Purple Palm Tree Delight.
He was now managing the franchiseâs first and only midwest location they decided to open after the California chain started recording a deluge of calls from Indiana and assumed it must be some sort of untapped market. Come to find out, the people in Hawkins were just calling the number on the side of Argyleâs bright yellow van theyâd seen riding around town.
âThatâs all?â he chortled at your order. âOne small pizza? Are you and Buckley planning some kinda Battle Royale fight to the death or something?â
âSheâs gone for the weekend,â you explained.
âOh, really? All by your lonesome then, are you?â
His typically gravelly tone was tinged with a hint of mischief, but you didnât pay it much mind. This was Argyle, after all. You knew him well enough by now not to try and decode anything that went on inside that wonderfully weird head of his.
âWell, with you at work thereâs no one to keep me company, is there?â you teased, putting on a flirty affectation you just knew would make him blush.
âBaby doll, Iâll close up shop right now!â
His deep and throaty laugh made you giggle along with him as he relayed your order to the kitchen staff and then came back on the line to assure you that it would be there âlemony split.â
With dinner ordered, you started to assemble some essentials for your wild night on the sofaâ oversized blanket, extra snacks, a small arsenal of face masks and serums. You even splurged a bit and lit one of your nicer candles, the fresh scent of bergamot filling up your living room as you headed into the kitchen to clean up.
About half-way through you doing your dishes came the soft tread of footsteps on the stairwell outside, followed by a bouncy and rhythmic knock being rapped on your front door.
âOne sec,â you called out, shaking the remnants of soapy water from your hands and drying them on the thighs of your sweatpants.
Your hand closed around the door knob and you yanked it open only to be bombarded by a head of dark, wild curls and a pair of deep brown eyes that instantly made your mind go blank.
âWhat are you doing here?â
The words just burst out of you, sounding far harsher than you intended, and Eddie Munsonâs lips twitched with the beginnings of a smirk as he looked you up and down.
âNice to see you, too,â he chortled. âThat how you greet everyone who brings you your dinner?â
Your gaze fell to the pizza box he held in his hands that you had missed entirely, too distracted by his eyes and his nose and his lips and those cute little dimples in his cheeks. Not to mention his stupid big hands with his stupid long fingers that were wrapped around your dinnerâŠ
âSorry,â you said, squishing your eyes shut and shaking your head as though it would wipe away your lustful thoughts like an etch-a-sketch. âI just wasnât expecting you. Or, umâŠI meant, I didnât know you worked at Surfer Boy.â
âItâs a new gig,â Eddie said, his smile filled with as much wily charm as ever as he handed over the box. âArgyle convinced me to come on board. Decent hours and the moneyâs good.â
âOhâŠsweet.âÂ
You nodded back at him and prayed you didnât sound half as awkward as you felt. With one hand, you balanced the pizza box on your hip while the other reached for the cash youâd set out earlier on the little table by your door. But a frown covered your face as you glanced between the bills and the box you were holding that looked quite a bit bigger than it should have been.
âSomething wrong?â Eddie asked. âAw, shitâwe didnât fuck up the toppings, did we?â
âNo, no, nothing like that,â you assured. âItâs just, I only ordered a small and this oneâs a large.â
âOh, yeah. Arg had them change it after he rang it in. He just wanted you to have some extra.â
You chuckled, âReally? I donât know why, itâs just me tonight.â
âNo Buckley?â
Eddieâs brows raised slightly, disappearing behind his twisty bangs as he looked past you inside your apartment. You swayed slightly, in an attempt to block his view of the little couch nest youâd built for yourself. His gaze returned to yours, eyes flickering with something like intrigue.
âYouâre flying solo, then?â he asked.
âPretty much. I mean, I called around a bit and everyone was busy. SoâŠyeah.â
He tilted his head at you. âYou didnât call me.â
âOhâŠâ
Eddieâs lips quirked in a smile that actually made your breath catch. He didnât sound offended, not like he was accusing you of anything. But his soft voice and the feigned (it was feigned, wasnât it?) look of disappointment on his face made your chest radiate with warmth.
The truth was, you would have loved to call Eddie. You had actually hovered over his contact info in your phone more times than you cared to admit, only to keep chickening out at the last second.
âW-well, youâre working tonight,â you reasoned. âSo, we couldnât have hung out anyway.â
âActually⊠Argyle cut me early,â Eddie said. âTurned out to be a slower night than he thought, so he said I could call it quits after this delivery.â
Oh. Oh.Â
âWell, do youâŠâ You swallowed hard, trying to bring some relief to your throat that had run dry. âI mean, did you wanna have dinner? Apparently, Iâve got plenty of food.â
Another weak chuckle trickled out of you as you held up the pizza box, telling yourself it must be the heat of the pie within making your palms sweat the way they were. Eddieâs dark eyes actually danced under the harsh fluorescent lights of your buildingâs breeze-through.
âThatâd be great,â he said, flashing you a smile that made your knees wobble. âWayneâs gone this weekend too. Trailerâs kind of lonely without him.â
âOkay! Uh, come on in.â
The sudden shrillness of your voice made you cringe inwardly as you stepped sideways for him to pass, but he didnât seem to notice. Or at least he acted like he didnât. He simply smiled as he came inside, pausing to toe off his boots and shuck off his leather jacket at the door.
Heâd clearly dressed for the heat of Surfer Boyâs kitchen and not the bitter wind howling outside, clad only in a red and black flannel over a gray tank that seemed to cling to his lean frame as if by static electricity alone. His ratty black jeans taunted you with flashes of pale skin peeking through the holes in the knees and the smell of oregano filled your nose as he fluffed up his hair.
He looked a lot better than you didâparticularly when you were in your lounge clothes, which werenât exactly fetching.
Baggy and oversized, worn threadbare in more than a few places from multiple wears. Splattered with a myriad of tiny mystery stains no amount of washing could get out.
Nothing to be done about it now, you supposed.
Eddie had been to your place plenty of times for parties and movie nights, but that had always been with other people around.
Never just you. Never the two of you alone.
That realization and the nerves it induced made the back of your neck unbearably hot as you set the pizza on the coffee table and headed for the kitchen to retrieve plates and napkinsâall of the dignified and civilized things youâd have to use now that you had an audience.
And alcohol. Definitely, definitely needed alcohol if you were gonna even attempt to be normal.
âYou want a beer?â you asked from the fridge.
Eddie nodded as he followed into the kitchen and leaned against the cabinetry. His totally calm and casual demeanor only made you more anxious, your chest getting tight and your hands shaking as you pried the caps off two beers. You clinked your bottle against his and took a long draught, heart racing as you stared at the ceiling.
Chill the fuck out, you scolded yourself. Heâs just a guy. Itâs just pizza. Itâs no big deal, itâs noâ
âYou okay?â Eddie asked, making your runaway train of thought come to a screeching halt.
âYeah, totally,â you lied through your teeth. âUm⊠I guess I was fully in hermit mode already. I really didnât expect to see anyone tonight.â
Let alone you, you finished internally.
âSorry about that,â Eddie said. âI didnât mean to, like, crash your whole evening.â
âNo, noâitâs not like that at all,â you stammered, the words tumbling out of you in a rush. âIâm glad youâre here, really. Itâs nice to have company.â
âYeah? Okay, good.â He smiled into another sip of his beer. âIâm glad Iâm here too.â
Your lips spread into a smile that mirrored his and a sort of quiet warmth passed between you. You found yourself staring into his eyes, holding his gaze until it flickered down your body.
He studied you in that soul-plundering way of his that made you feel all light and tingly all over.
âHere, you should have this back,â he said all of a sudden, âI feel kind of weird keeping it.â
You looked down just as he tugged the money youâd paid him with out of his pocket. He held it out to you, only to find your hand already pushing it back, fingers briefly closing over his fist.
âEddie, no. No way,â you scoffed. âDonât be silly.â
He opened his mouth to protest, but you fixed him with a warning glareâa pretty withering one if you did say so yourself. One that made him nod reluctantly and sigh softly in defeat.
âAlright, at least let me contribute something,â he said, returning the cash to his pocket and instead producing a fat, pristinely rolled joint. Argyleâs handiwork, you were all but certain.
You grinned and clinked your bottle with his.Â
âDone.â
Beers and plates and joint in hand, you and Eddie headed over to the sofa only for you to stop short when you remembered your former plans for the evening. He watched curiously as you cleared the table, your stomach even more unruly now with half a beer sloshing around inside of it.
âWhatâs all this?â he asked, indicating the various packets and bottles. You laughed nervously.
âItâs just skin stuff. I was gonna do a face mask while I watched a movieâŠbecause thatâs just the rock and roll kinda lifestyle I lead.â
Your jittery attempt at a joke only made Eddieâs own smile widen as he plucked one of the packets from your grasp and held it up to read the label.
âCan I do one?â he asked.
You choked back another laugh, brow arching at him in disbelief. âDo you want to?â
âKind of, yeah,â he chortled. âThey look kinda like potions or something. Seems like fun.â
You rolled your shoulder in a shrug. âThen knock yourself out,â you said.Â
And he did.
Eddie plopped himself down at one end of the sofa and ripped into the package heâd selected. It was branded as a âunicornâ mask, which really just meant it was made out of shiny, holographic paper that shone with rainbows when the light hit it. He admired the swirling colors briefly and then set about laying the mask over his face, his head suddenly turning to catch you staring.
âAm I beautiful yet?â he asked, playfully fluttering his long lashes at you.
You already were.
The thought popped into your head so quickly you almost said it out loud and you had to bite back the comment, your pulse starting to race all over again. You pressed your lips together as you nodded and focused all your attention on placing a pair of gel patches under your own eyes.
Eddie watched you tap them into place, smiling. âYou do this a lot?â he asked.
âEvery couple weeks or so. More often in the winter because the cold really fucks with my skin. Obviously.â You gestured at your face and sighed.
âI never noticed,â he said with a gentle shake of his head. âAlways looks nice to me.â
The compliment made your face burn in spite of the cooling aloe patches and you shook your head, the tingling in your cheeks only increasing the longer his eyes lingered on you. With shaky hands, you reached for the remote and started flipping through the channels while Eddie dug into the pizza. The both of you hummed excitedly in unison as you landed on an old horror flick just as the opening credits had started to roll, the decision of what to watch made easy.
As you set the remote down and reached for your own slices, realizing Eddie had plated up two and placed them down in front of you, you couldnât stop your eyes from dating sideways to look at him once more. But the moment you did, a loud laugh burst out and you had to slap a hand over your mouth to try and stifle itâfailing miserably.
He had his tongue stretched out as far as it would go, the pink muscle wiggling wildly as he tried to guide the end of his pizza into his mouth through the too-small opening of his mask.
âHang on, hang on,â you said, taking some mercy on him. âLet me help you.â
âI donât know what youâre talking about,â he scoffed, âIâm doing great over here.â
It only made you laugh harder watching Eddie as he kept trying to eat, now clumsily flicking out his tongue like a drunken chameleon and grimacing when he tasted some of the product on his mask.
He stilled, though, as you scooted onto the center cushion and began to further tear the slits around his mouth, your fingers trembling as they brushed the corners of his plush lips.
Too late, you realized how close your face had gotten to his. Your eyes nearly crossed you were staring at him so hard, trapped in his hypnotic gaze as his enormous eyes locked on yours. The deep brown, almost black, of them only looked more otherworldly like this, surrounded by swirls of silver and rainbows like he was some kind of alien or android. Blinking dumbly, as if coming out of a trance, you pulled your hands away.
âUmâŠbetter?â you asked, eyes darting away from his face and almost instantly returning.
Eddie tested how far he could unhinge his jaw, stretching his mouth open as far as he could, unencumbered by the chin portion of his mask. He brought his slice up to take a massive bite.
âPerfect,â he said, grinning widely through a mouthful of cheese and sauce.
You actually did manage to relax at least slightly the longer the night wore on, helped immensely by the joint Eddie lit and offered to you to take the first hit. It passed leisurely between you, each of your inhales making it easier to deal with the idea that your lips were basically touching his.
Another movie started up after the one you first put on finished, but you made no move towards the remote. Your body felt warm and relaxed from the high, limbs melding into the sofa cushions like you were becoming part of them.
And Eddie too seemed perfectly happy to spend his night exactly where he was. His unicorn mask sat discarded on top of his pizza crusts and heâd shifted down in his seat, knees spreading wide and filling your mind withâŠthoughts.
You kept expecting him to make some excuse to leave, freaked out that heâd caught you looking at him just a few too many times for comfort.
But he never did.
âI think this is the last of it,â Eddie said, staring at the tiny smoldering nub pinched between his thumb and forefinger.
âTake it, itâs yours,â you smiled, letting your head squish against the back of the couch.Â
Eddie shook his head. âCâmon, now,â he grinned back at you. âSharing is caring.â
He crooked his fingers, motioning for you to move in closer as he brought the joint up to his lips and steadily inhaled the last hit. He shifted onto the center cushion and you mirrored his movement, his knee bumping your calf lightly as you tucked your feet beneath you, toes wiggling nervously.
With his free hand, he gently cupped the side of your face and tilted your head to the side as his own lips parted and you leaned together.Â
A stream of smoke poured out of him and you breathed it in, holding it in your chest for a few moments before you exhaled it back at him. He smiled as your breath fanned over his face, his dimples showing as his cheeks pushed up fully. The sight made your own smile spread, pulling your bottom lip back with your teeth as his thumb softly caressed your jaw.
His lips parted again, a whisper of your name falling off them, sounding like a foreign language.Â
You inhaled deeply again, trying to steady your racing heart, your whole body suddenly tingling in a way that was distinctly different from the way it did from the high. It didnât do any good, though, not when Eddieâs head lifted slightly and you swore his eyes started to closeâ
A loud BEEP made you jump away, the moment shattered by your phone getting a text.
You instantly felt the loss of Eddieâs hand where it had been holding you, cold now in spite of all the blood currently coursing beneath your skin. You turned and fumbled about for your phone as it beeped again, almost more insistently.
Eddie retreated to his end of the sofa and you gave your head another forcible shake, trying to rid yourself of the shivers running rampant over your body. Whatever you imagined was just about to happen was surely not going toâthe weed had to have your mind playing tricks on you.
âUgh.â
The sound popped out unconsciously, irritation flaring just at the sight of the name attached to the message and making you recoil before you even opened it to see what it said.
âJeez,â Eddie smirked at your distasteful noise, giving you a sly look. âWhoâs that?â
âNobody,â you sighed, rolling your eyes. âJust some guy I went out with a few times.â
Eddie sputtered slightly on the sip of beer heâd just taken, a dusting of pink spreading across his cheeks and his eyes rounding slightly as he wiped his palm on the thigh of his jeans.
âOh. Do I, umâŠdo I need to, like, make myself scarce or something?â
A bitter laugh burst out at the implication and you started to shake your head a little too hard. âAhh, no,â you told him flatly, âNot at all.â
Eddieâs shoulders relaxed, his smile returning, seeming almost a little pleased to hear that.
âHow come?â he asked with a teasing smile, nodding at the rest of your skincare on the table. âYou donât wanna get him over here? Get him all nice and moisturized?â
âIâm good,â you assured, clicking off your phone and silencing it before laying it face down on the table. âNot exactly in the mood to beg someone to go down on me tonight, soââ
âBeg?â Eddie scoffed, taking another swig of his beer. âWho has to be begged to do that?â
Your gaze darted sideways, eyeing him curiously.Â
âUhhâŠall of them? In my experience, most guys arenât all that into it. You know?â
âNo, not really,â he said, shrugging his shoulders. âI fuckinâ love it.â
Your own drink stopped half-way to your lips and you chanced another glance at him. Your voice went quiet. Meeker than you would have liked. Lacking all the frankness with which he spoke.
âYouâŠyou do?â
âWell, yeah,â he said. âI mean, making a girl come on your tongue is likeâŠâ
He trailed off into silence, looking up at the ceiling as he searched for the right word, but youâd jumped back in before he could find it.
âYou make them come? JustâŠjust from that?â
âAhhâŠâ Eddie faltered now, staring at his lap and picking at the label on his beer with his thumb nail. âNot always. It depends on the girl. But, I dunnoâŠmaybe, like, ninety percent of the time?â
âJesus Christ,â you gasped, eyes rounding with embarrassment when you realized you said it out loud. Beside you, Eddie shifted in his seat on the couch, turning himself towards you.
âDo you not come when they go down on you?â
You blinked back at him, almost too stunned to speak. âWellâŠno. They arenât usually down there that long. I mostly just need it because the spit helps when Iâm not wet.â
Holy shit. That weed must have been way stronger than you realized for these words to be spilling out of you like they were. Cheeks officially a raging inferno, you focused every speck of your attention on the movie flickering on the TV.
Eddieâs eyes never left your face, though. His expression only softened as he stared at you, his words coming out in a hushed whisper.
âOh, sweetheartâŠâ
Your face only burned hotter from the way he said it. Itâs not exactly pity in his tone, or filling his eyes, itâs more likeâŠdisappointment.
Disappointment in who, you werenât entirely sure. And you sure as shit werenât going to let this go on long enough to find out.
âIâm sorry, I donât know how we got on this,â you said. âThis is way too much information for you.â
âNo, no, thatâs not what Iââ
Eddieâs hand started to reach out for you, but you were already on your feet.Â
Scrambling to gather up your soiled plates and desperate to look anywhere besides at him, you hurried into the kitchen to start cleaning up. The weed in your system was starting to turn on you, making your mind run rampant with competing thoughts, the most persistent of them being an echo of Eddieâs voice, hearing the same four words over and over and over again.
I fuckinâ love it.
Just the memory of him saying them made your stomach swoop and your core flutter, your hands shaking as you reached to turn on the tap.
âCan I just ask you one more thing?â
Eddieâs voice behind you made your shoulders tense, but you forced them to remain stillâtrying to look relaxed. The plates in your hands clinked against the sink basin as you set them down and turned slowly, resting your butt on the edge of the counter as you nodded at him.
He moved forward tentatively, setting down the beer bottles heâd brought from the living room.
âDo you like going down on guys?â
Your mouth fell open at the question and you had to quickly snap it shut. âUmâŠyeah,â you said after clearing your throat. âI like it fine.â
Truth be toldâŠyou really did like it. And with the right partner, you kind of loved it.
There was a kind of satisfaction you got watching even the most confident and charismatic guys be reduced to a simpering pile of putty as soon as your mouth came anywhere near their cock.
It was an intoxicating sort of power you felt when you drew the most desperate and eager sounds out of themâlike when a guy slid into your mouth for the first time and just groaned in relief, like he had never felt anything as good as you in his life.
âOkay, then,â Eddie grinned, his eyes flickering as he watched your face. âSo the person youâre with should like it too, right? He shouldnât do it just because he has to. He should do it because he wants to make you feel good. The same way you want him to feel good.â
He took slow, careful steps forward as he spoke, the distance between you getting smaller with each. You felt your chest start to heave, trying to keep the furious pounding of your heart under control as Eddieâs body drew nearer.
He came to a stop in front of you, brown eyes trained on the space between your nose and chin. He licked his lips, running the flat of his tongue over the bottom one like he was imagining it was your own. Saliva flooded your mouth and you swallowed it down, lips trembling as they parted.
You thought you might be sick with anticipation, waiting for the touch of his mouth on yours. Because he was gonna kiss you, right?Â
God, did you want him to kiss youâŠ
Your grasp curled under the lip of the counter, nails digging into the wood beneath the laminate. Eddieâs eyes broke from yours, flitting down to see your hands clenched, like you were trying to rip off a chunk of it. His brow furrowed slightly and he took a step back, the absolute deflation you felt as he stepped away making your whole body slump as the tension flooded out of it.
It was so overwhelming, you had to look away, eyes landing on the clock over the stove.
âOh, shit!â you gasped, making Eddieâs head jump back up. âIs it really that late?â
Midnight had come and gone according to the glowing green numbers without you so much as noticing. Eddie swallowed hard, his mouth falling open like he wanted to say something else, but no words came out. Instead, he busied himself with getting the emptied bottles heâd set down and tossing them in the recycling bin.
âI, umâŠI should get out of your hair,â he sighed, ringed hand rubbing the back of his neck.
You werenât totally sure what possessed you to say what you did next. Something about the sight of his frowning face, the corners of his lips turned down in confusion or even disappointment, it was hard to say which. All you could think was that you didnât want him to leave.
âYou donât have to,â you said suddenly.
Eddieâs stopped short and his spine straightened, his head turning slowly towards you like he wasnât convinced he really just heard those words come out of your mouth. You shot him a small smile.Â
âYou can stay overâŠif you want.â
He stared back at you, doe eyes blinking at you in surprise. âReally?â he asked.
âYeah, of course,â you said, trying not to sound like your vocal chords were in a vice. âThe roads are shit and itâs late. I meanâŠitâs only if you want. You certainly donât have toââ
âNo, no, no, that-that would be great, actually,â he said, the words tumbling out in a rush. He took a steadying breath and smiled as his eyes met yours again. âIâd really like that.â
With the sort of energy that would make a hummingbird jealous, you bustled around the apartment gathering a spare pillow and an extra blanket for Eddie while he brushed his teeth in the bathroom. You carried them over to the couch, hugging the linens tight to your chest.Â
You thought about how they might smell like him in the morning. How he might wake up with his hair all big and messy from sleep, his eyes half-lidded with crust in the corners, his boxers slung low on his narrow hips, the small trail of hair that swirled just below his navel on displayâ
âThanks,â Eddie said, making you jump when you realized he was behind you.Â
Your heartbeat thundered in your eardrums as you turned around and held the linens out to him. His fingers met yours among the folds and you nearly jumped out of your skin at the contact.
âN-no problem,â you said, averting your gaze again as you headed down the short hallway.
You hovered at your bedroom door, glancing back over your shoulder at Eddie as he flicked off all of the lights except the one on the end table, peeling away his flannel to reveal his sinewy arms littered with tattoos. The sight made your cheeks pulse in time with your heartbeat. Among other things.
âGood night,â you said.Â
Eddieâs head snapped up and he stared at you for a brief moment, his eyes running up and down your body, his bottom lip between his teeth like he was deep in thought about something.
âGood night,â he said finally. âSleep tight.â
In bed, sleep evaded you.Â
You lay there, splayed wide in the center of your mattress, arms and legs stretched out across the rumpled sheets youâd gotten yourself twisted up in too many times to count as youâd turned over and over and over and over, searching for a comfortable position. Finding none.
Any attempt at settling down for the night was impossible when you couldnât shake thisâŠthis⊠incessant, obstinate, unrelenting need calling out for satisfaction. It was like your body could sense that Eddie was in the next room and was refusing sleep in favor of filling your mind with thoughts of what could happen, of what he might be doing, if you just went out there and went for it.
What if you did? Just strode down the hall and climbed on top of him in the dark? Whipped off your sleep shirt to bare yourself and let his hands and lips roam freely all over you? You could just about feel the cold bite of his rings on your skin, you were thinking about it so much.
The conversation youâd had earlier kept running through your head, his words still echoing in your mind and making you throb everywhere.Â
I fuckinâ love it, heâd said. Blatantly. Plainly. Like it should be obvious. But youâd never heard anyone express that kind of affinity for eating a girl out.
The majority of the guys youâd been with, those who had been willing to do it at all, only seemed to be doing so under duress or out of obligation. Or worse, they spent the exact bare minimum amount of time down there in order to get you going, only to stop short, and wasted no time redirecting the focus to their pleasure.
Then, of course, they had all the time in the world.
It was hard to say why, but there was something about Eddie wanting to do itâeven being eager to do so, that only made him hotter.
You huffed loudly and pushed the heels of your hands against your eyes, forfeiting the staring contest you were locked in with your ceiling.
This was so stupid. You were getting yourself all worked up, and over what? Eddie was most likely balls deep in a REM cycle by now, and if you went out there and made some kind of ill-conceived âmoveâ on him there was absolutely, positively, no chance in hell he would everâ
Knock knock knock
The gentle raps on your door made you bolt upright in bed. They were so quiet, you thought maybe you might have dreamed them, painfully awake as you were. But then they sounded again, this time accompanied by Eddieâs hushed voice tentatively calling out your name.
âYeah?âÂ
Your eyes zeroed in on your door knob, waiting with bated breath for it to turn, but Eddie spoke again before he dared to even touch it.
âHey, umâŠcan I come in?â he asked.
You tugged your sheets upwards, covering your exposed thighs as you inhaled a deep bracing breath. âS-sure,â you said, still despising the nervous way your voice wavered.
The door finally cracked open and Eddie poked his head in. A little sliver of light from the hallway illuminated your room and you could see his curls were now tied up in a bun, sitting low on his neck with a few short tendrils framing his face. It made it so that you could actually see his ears and you realized for the first time they were kind of cute.Â
How the fuck could ears be so cute?
âSorry to bug you,â he whispered. âBut do you have an extra blanket or something? Itâs, umâŠit's kind of cold out there.â
âOh, shit,â you sighed in realization. âItâs probably the windows. One of them doesnât close right. Uh, yeah, just let meââ
You started to climb out of the bed, only to freeze as your foot hovered over the rug. The big shirt you had worn to sleep in was long, but not that long. The hem of it barely skimmed the bottom of your ass and if you stood up, you would basically be flashing Eddie your underwear.
Maybe it was okay? It would only be for a second. And it was mostly dark, maybe he wouldnât even notice? Or maybe you didnât need to get out of bed at allâŠ
âYou know, umâŠâ You licked your lips, daring yourself to look back up at Eddie. âYou could just sleep in here. If you want.â
Eddieâs eyes flickered at that, dark brown irises black in the low light, filling with something you couldnât quite place. Was it apprehension? Surprise? Excitement?
âYou sure?â he asked, his voice still hushed.
You swallowed hard as you drew your leg back underneath the warmth of the blanket, nodding at him to confirm, your teeth gnawing at the fleshy insides of your cheek as you did.
He entered the room fully, revealing how heâd stripped down to nothing but his tank top and a pair of blue checkered boxers. As he pushed the door closed behind him and crossed over to the opposite side of your bed, your heart threatened to beat straight out of your chest.Â
Your eyes briefly darted downwards only for you to avert them just as quicklyâtelling yourself it must be the dark playing tricks on you, making you think you saw his boxers were half-tented.
The mattress dipped as he settled into the bed with you and you felt a rush of heat that came off his body like a furnace as you both scooted down to lay flat. Your body was rigid as you resumed your staring contest with the ceiling, thundering heartbeat only picking up more speed when Eddie rolled over onto his side to look at you.
âCan you not sleep?â he asked, his voice coming out in a gentle rasp.
Your hair rustled against your pillow as you shook your head. âNo. You?â
âNope. Iâve, umâŠIâve been thinking about what we talked about,â he said slowly. âEarlier.â
You inhaled sharply, certain he had to be able to see the effect he had on you even in near pitch darkness. But was it really your imagination that you seemed to have a similar effect on him?
âYeah?â you whispered.
Eddie nodded, his eyes dropping to your mouth, the tip of his tongue swiping across his bottom lip to wet it as he spoke.
âI was wondering if I couldâŠif youâd like me toââ
âYes.â
The word all but flew out of you, filled with heat and need. And no sooner had you uttered it was he rolling on top of you, his body pressing against yours, his rapidly firming length prodding your heat through your panties. His lips descended on to yours, making every part of you heave in response to his touch. He actually moaned into your kiss, both your lips and his vibrating with the sound. Every part of him moved with yours in perfect harmony, every curve and bulge of his body finding a home against your own.
Itâs like youâre warm bread and heâs the butter, spreading smoothly across you and melting into your every crease and crevice.
âFuck, Iâve wanted this so long,â he panted out in between feverish kisses dotted along your neck, his teeth nipping at your racing pulse.
âReally?â
âGod, yes,â he groaned, his hands gliding over the length of your body. âI dreamed about touching youâŠhow youâd soundâŠwhat youâd taste likeâŠâ
âJesus Christ.â
You had never felt like this before, your very being thrumming with energy and ready to go off like a firecracker as soon as someone lit your match. You could have chalked it up to the weed, or to the beer, or to the fact that you hadnât been touched like this in so longâand even when you had been touched, it was nothing like this.
But ultimately you knewâŠthe real reason was him.
âFeel good?â Eddie asked, his pink lips curled up in a catlike smile as he rolled his hips forward, pressing them against you in a filthy grind that had your back arching off the bed.
âShit,â you gasped, breathless, âS-so good, Eddieâfuck.â
The way he was moving against you had your mind emptying rapidly. It was all you could do not to wrap your legs around his waist and squeeze him close to increase that sinful sweet pressure he was putting on your core. But Eddie was quick to give you more, pushing up on his hands so his hips married with yours and he could look down at the mess he was making of you.
âEddie, I want you to fuck me,â you whined, voice all high and desperate. âI need it, please.â
His original offer had officially flown out of your head. All you could think about right now was him being fully seated inside of you, his cock stroking your walls, his thrusts reaching deep. Heâd gotten you so wet just from kissing, him going down on you now was practically redundant.
âYou want my cock already, huh?â he teased you lowly, leaning in close again, the tip of his nose touching yours. âToo bad.â
His gentle mocking tone and the way he purred so softly made every atom in your body tremble. You stared up at him with your hips squirming trying to chase the friction you so desperately needed as he started to shuffle further down the bed, making you whimper at the loss.
âWhatâs wrong?â he chuckled at your pitiful little sound. âYou think Iâm being mean?â
You nodded back at him and his giant eyes glinted in the dark, his handsome face full of mirth and mischief as his chest rumbled with a laugh. The sound of it rippled down your spine, making it go instantly rigid and then slackening like the crack of a whip. Oh, you were in troubleâŠ
âWell, I am mean. And selfish too,â he gritted out, his fingers kneading at your waist, bunching the material of your t-shirt in his fists to pull it taught across your chest. âBecause Iâm gonna kiss this pussy all I wantâŠall night long, if I feel like it.â
With his words dripping thick and sweet from his lips, he shifted even further down on the bed with a practiced swivel of his hips. He kissed his way down your body, pushing up the hem of your shirt to reveal the bare expanse of your stomach and hips, groaning again as he caught a glimpse of the underside of your breasts.
âIâveâŠbeen waitingâŠway too longâŠto taste youâŠâ
His voice slipped back into that lower register as he placed a line of delicate kisses to your navel in between his words. His head dropped lower, lower, lower until he met the apex of your spread thighs. A soft moan escaped your lips as he laved his tongue over your clothed slit, licking through the thin barrier until his spit had soaked through the cotton to mix with your arousal.
âTake them off,â you gasped, raising your hips to help him.
If he had decided to tear them, to rip them right from your body, you wouldnât have minded in the slightest. But he curled his fingers around the elastic and dragged them down your legs, settling back on his calves to tug them off, the blunt edges of his fingernails raking lightly over your skin all the way to your ankles. It made gooseflesh bloom across every inch of you, all the way to your scalp as you pushed your head back into the pillow, so overwhelmed by the feeling.
He works infuriatingly slow. Teasing you, toying with you like itâs a big game. He kissed softly along your seam, nuzzling his face against your inner thighs, skimming his lips over your folds that are doused with your slick, not even bringing his tongue into play yet. It makes your clit just ache for him, the little bundle of nerves yearning for the attention he just won't give it.
Not yet.
Finally, finally, he placed one long kiss on your sensitive bead, popping off far too soon for your liking to murmur softly to you in the dark.
âCanât believe you had to beg that loser to do thisâŠIâd beg you just to let me do itâŠâ
âThen do it, Eddie,â you groaned, bunching the sheets in your fists. âPlease, please, just do itââ
Youâre almost crying now you want him so badly, the anticipation making your chest tighten and your lungs constrict. All the amusement drains from Eddieâs face as he looks at you, doe eyes shining like they held every star in the galaxy as he studied your pained expression.
âRelax for me, baby,â Eddie soothed in a steady whisper, his palm rubbing across your stomach. âIâm gonna take care of you, okay? I promise.â
Keeping your gaze locked on his, you nodded back at him and then closed your eyes to take the deepest breath you could manage. He watched you silently, studying the way your chest rose as you inhaled, and the way you held the breath in for a five count before you released.
And just as your breath crested, just as you felt the relief of the oxygen flowing throug your body, he fixed his lips around your clit and sucked.
The noise that he dragged out of you didnât even sound human. It was shock, it was calm, it was joy, it was confusion, it was elation, it was rage.
It was as though every emotion youâd ever felt in your whole life was thrown into a blender and that sound was the end result.
Your hips jumped, bucking into his face, but Eddie never faltered. He kept his hold on you, arms wrapped tight around your thighs to keep them spread open so he could continue to devour you. He didnât just go down on you, his mouth and tongue and chin and nose moved together in any and every possible direction until you yourself had forgotten which way was up.
It made you doubt your very existence. No way was this real. No way could anything feel this fucking good. And yet at the same time, it was too real. The tickle of his hair on your inner thigh, his hot breath fanning over your most private skin, the noises he made muffled by your pussy lips. Every visceral detail swirled together, rushing you headlong towards oblivion.
âThatâs it, thatâs it,â Eddie said hoarsely. âCome on my tongue for me, beautiful. I gotta have it.â
He pulled his lips from you, his fingers plunging easily inside your gushing center, crooking up to rub that spot you only ever dreamed of someone reaching. As you clenched around his digits and he could feel how close you were, his tongue returned to your folds in long and languid swipes that ended in fluttering flicks and swirls.
He does everything so carefully, so thoroughly, that the brink he brings you to feels more earned than anything youâve ever felt. Stars burst behind your rolled back eyes, tears squeezing out at the corners and spilling down your cheeks.
Your mouth fell open as you moaned in earnest abandon, chanting out his name in praise in between heaving breaths to gulp down air.
The aftershock seems to last longer than the orgasm itself, your legs twitching under Eddieâs firm grasp long after the explosive feeling had receded. He slid up to lay next to you, cradling you gently in his arms, out of breath himself as he watched you return to earth, his nose and mouth and chin all glistening with your spend.
âYou okay?â he asked, hopeful and earnest, his cocky bravado long since dissolved.
âSo good,â you gasped. âIt was incredible, Eddie. Holy shitâŠâ
His chest shook with a low laugh at your dazed expression. Your eyelids drooped, exhaustion trying to overtake you, but you forced it back. Suddenly filled with the urge to make him feel as good as you did, you let your hand drift toward his boxers, making his whole body shudder as your hand grazed across a damp spot there.
WaitâŠwas that? No, not a chance. No way did he come just from eating you out.
âEasy, killer,â Eddie chuckled, reaching down for your wandering hand and lacing his fingers with yours to gently tug it back up and kiss it. âWhat do you want in there, huh?â
âEddie, please,â you pouted up at him as your eyes fought to stay open. âI want more, I want to make you come too.â
âWe will,â he assured you, his fingertips gently trailing across your forehead, down your temple, along your jaw. âJust close your eyes for a minute. Then weâll do anything you want.â
The sigh you let out was a little huffy, but you couldnât deny how appealing it sounded to rest your eyesâjust for a minute. They start to flutter shut and the last thing you felt was Eddieâs warm breath on your ear as he leaned close to whisper,
âGood night, sweetheart.â
Sunlight came streaming through your blinds far too soon for your liking. Its warm rays splashed across your face as it rose in the sky and you withdrew reluctantly from your sleep.
A deep, blissful, fucked-out sleep like you hadnât had in years.
Everything came into focus slowly as you woke. The hum of the fan overhead pushing cool air down, the distant chirp of birds from the tree outside your windowâŠthe subtle weight of Eddieâs arm slung across your torso.
He was still asleep next to you, snoring softly with his face smashed into the lilacs printed on your pillowcase. You couldnât be sure if he had fallen asleep holding you or if he reached for you at some point during the night and never let go.
Either option was equally enthralling.
His hair had come loose from his bun, curls now big and frizzy around his face like a lionâs mane. And even in sleep, there was a look of quiet satisfaction on his face. Contentedness, like he was in the middle of a really good dream. You even let yourself believe you saw the slight curve of a smile on his plush lips, one you were sure matched your own.
You reached out a hand and gently touched the fringe obscuring his large forehead, brushing them back to reveal the thickness of his eyebrows and the dusting of freckles along his nose and cheeks. Fuck him, if he wasnât even prettier.
Moving carefully so as not to disturb his slumber, you rolled over onto your side and reached for your phone on the nightstand, looking for the time and instead finding a text from Argyle.
hope u enjoyed ur special delivery ;)
Thank you for reading. love you, mean it! đ
This has been gathering dust in my drafts for a minute now.
Been feeling the lack of inspiration/motivation to write lately real hard, so it was nice to go back to something that I really enjoyed writing and had a lot of fun with.

Youâre washing the dishes tonight, your least favorite of the chores Joel makes you do. You prefer doing laundry or plucking the weeds with him, because he lets you collect flowers and put them in vases. He even taught you how to press them between heavy books, and how to frame them nicely.Â
Joel calls your name from upstairs. You quickly wash and dry your hands, then scurry up the steps. His door is closed almost all of the way, just a small sliver of light peeks from his room into the dark hallway. âJoel?â
âIn here, sweetheart. Need ya for somethinâ.âÂ
You push open the door the rest of the way, and Joelâs naked and sitting upright on the edge of his bed, cock in hand with his bare thighs spread wide. Heâs grunting as he squeezes the base, the tip all flushed and swollen. âCâmere. Switch me spots.âÂ
You donât yet obey his order. Youâve seen Joelâs cock before, seen him masturbate before, too. Despite that, it still makes you feel nervous to see him and be with him like this. It gives you that icky feeling in your gut and makes you breathe funny.Â
âCâmon. You know it ainât gonna bite ya, kiddo.â Joel stands up and pats the spot on the bed. âSit,â he says, his tone sharper than before. âNeed somethinâ pretty to come on.â
 Joel doesnât like repeating himself. You wonât make him ask a third time.Â
You sit on the bed, the covers warmed and slightly damp by Joelâs body heat donât comfort you. He stands in front of you, rock-hard cock bouncing in his loose grip. âWhy donât you give me a hand this time,â he says, reaching for your wrist. He pulls it up to waist level, then wraps your palm around his member, closing your fingers tightly. âOhhh, fuck,â Joel groans from deep in his chest. Loudly, he breathes in and out through his nose as he twists your hand up and down his shaft. âJusâ like this. Thatâs a good girl.âÂ
This is, however, the first time youâve ever felt his cock. All of your firsts with Joel have never gone the way you thought they would. The first time he saw you naked, touched you, or that you saw him - it was all surreal and rather abrupt. Joel tells you things like this are always a little new and funny at first.Â
His cock feels heavy in your palm. You think about the things you like about it - the warmth, all of his veins and ridges, how smooth and soft the head is. But itâs a little sticky, too, which is unexpected to you.Â
âAlright, alright. Sâenough,â Joel says, pulling your hand away. âLift up your shirt.â
You lift your shirt, pushing it up your torso until itâs bunched just beneath your breasts. âNuh-uh. Like this,â Joel murmurs, pushing the garment up above your chest, exposing yourself entirely to him. He rubs his thumb in circles over both of your nipples so that they pebble under his touch, then gropes and squeezes your flesh. âLie back,â Joel says, pushing you down on the bed. âAttagirl.â
You watch as Joel pumps his cock above you, the end of his fist slapping against his softened belly repeatedly. He breathes heavily, and his dark eyes are wild like an animal as his gaze is fixed on your naked form. Joel breathes quicker as he approaches his release, grunting a slew of swears he doesnât allow you to say. âFuck, goddamn. Oh, goddamn,â he hisses as ropes of his hot come spurt onto your body. He covers you like a canvas; his favorite painting, and for his eyes only.Â
Joel collects a bit of his spend up with his first two fingers. âGive it a taste,â he says. âWant you to try it.â
You open your mouth, and Joel pushes his calloused digits inside, painting your tongue with his come. âSuck,â he says, and you do. You furrow your brows at the salty, bitter flavor, how it tastes dissimilar from its scent. âDonât like it?â
You shake your head. âI donât think so.â
Joel chuckles, cupping your jaw and rubbing his thumb along your cheekbone. âSâokay. Yâdonât have to.â Joel yawns then, patting your cheek gently with his weathered hand. âCâmon, kiddo. Bath time. Daddy made a mess aâ ya, didnât he?â
Joel walks you to the bathroom with him, holding your hand the whole time. He puts the little rubber stopper in the drain of the bathtub, then turns the water on. âWarmer, pl-â
âDonât need a reminder, sweetheart. Know you like it hot. Daddy wonât let you freeze.â
âAnd bubbles.â
âI know, baby girl. I wonât forget your bubbles.â
As the bathtub fills, Joel opens the oak cabinet under the sink and pulls out the old bottle of bubble bath, the one heâs been refilling just for you. He pours a capful under the water, bubbles immediately building. It smells mostly of nothing, but a bit of that original bubblegum scent remains. Your image reflected in the mirror begins to blur as steam fills the bathroom, and when the tub is full, Joel shuts off the water. He helps you undress and then gets in the tub first, carefully lowering himself until heâs sat with his back against the wall. âJesus, sâhot. Gonna turn us both into soup,â Joel laughs. You smile shyly.Â
 He spreads his legs, then outstretches his arm to you. âCâmon. Hop in.â You take Joelâs hand, squeezing it while wobbling a little on your one foot as you step into the bath. âI gotcha, kiddo,â he says.Â
The water is warm on your feet, nearly burning you but you enjoy the tingle. Joel helps you down, lowering you until youâre submerged in the water, your back against his warm chest, his thick package pressing against your ass.Â
Joel fills an old, plastic measuring cup with the soapy bath water and brings a hand to your chin, tilting your head back so he can rinse your hair. The hot water feels soothing on your scalp, and Joel repeats the action until your hair is soaked all the way through and dripping down your back.Â
You giggle at the noise the bottle of shampoo makes when Joel squirts a bit into his hand. He lathers it between his palms, then scrubs your scalp. âEyes closed, kiddo. Donât wanna hurt ya,â he whispers.Â
Your eyes flutter shut as Joel works the soap into your hair, scrubbing your scalp all over. He alternates between scratching you gently with his dull nails, to massaging you with the tips of his fingers. He uses his thumbs to rub the base of your skull in circles, the other four fingers of each hand drawing lines up and down and all over. Once Joelâs built a thick lather, he uses the same plastic cup to rinse out the shampoo. Â
He conditions your hair next, working the cream into the strands. He uses his fingers to loosely detangle, âOw, daddy,â you complain as he tugs on a knot.Â
âI know, I know. Mâsorry, baby girl.â Joel presses a kiss to your forehead. âWas anâ accident. Mâtryinâ to be gentle.â He rinses out the conditioner next, âGrab me that bar of soap, will ya?â he asks.Â
âMhm.â You lean forward and reach for the orangish, rectangular bar of soap in front of you on the shower niche, then grab it and hold it over your shoulder.Â
Joel takes the soap, âThank ya kindly, darlinâ.â He dips it in the soapy bathwater before lathering it between his palms that are already beginning to prune. Gently, he pushes you forward to scrub your back and your neck, then pulls you right back into himself. âGimme an arm,â he says, a slight rasp in his voice. You raise your arm for him and he washes you with the lather, âAnâ the other,â Joel adds, now washing your other arm, massaging you with his strong hands. âHere-â Joel taps your shoulder with the soap. âYour daddyâs gettinâ old,â he grumbles. âCanât bend like he used to. Wash your legs fâme, sweetheart.âÂ
âOkay,â you murmur, taking the soap back from him. You lather the soap just like Joel did, then wash your legs one at a time, bending them at the knees. When done, Joel reaches over you to take the soap back. He pulls you back against his soft middle and puts his soapy hands on your torso, sliding them up and down your skin, washing off his now dried spend. He groans quietly as he washes your breasts, kneading the flesh there and circling your nipples with his slippery fingers. You feel his cock twitch against you.Â
Joel washes down, down your stomach. âSpread âem,â he says, and you part your legs wider. Your stomach jumps when his hands rub past your pubic hair and he washes your folds, that soft, private place between your thighs. You whimper when his thumb catches your clit.Â
âThat feel nice, kiddo?â
Your breath hitches in your throat as you search for an answer.Â
âI-â
âYou can tell your old man. I know it does,â Joel coos, rubbing his thumb left and right over your clit. You lean your head back and turn your head to the side, burying yourself in his bicep as you whine. âYou donât take much at all, do ya, sweetheart?â
Joelâs made you come before. Itâs one of the first things he did when he brought you home, actually. But you amaze him every time, how quickly and easily you fall apart on his fingertips. He thinks about tasting you for the first time, how sweet youâll be on his tongue. Or his cock, down your throat or between your thighs and splitting you in two. God, youâve so much to learn, and Joel gets to walk you through it all. His favorite innocence.Â
Joel adjusts you both so that youâre sitting more upright and he can reach around you with both hands. âRest on me,â he says, pressing the side of your head against his so that his scruff is tickling you, but not scratching you. Itâs too long for that.
 Joel peers over your shoulder to watch what heâs doing, and to watch how you react. Your soft tummy rising and falling with big breaths, thighs twitching. Joel circles your clit with his middle and ring fingers, patiently working you up. âHowâs that feelinâ?â he asks, âCan you tell daddy?â
âMm,â you hum, âYeahâŠâ
Joel chuckles, dragging the tip of his aquiline nose along the side of your face. âUse your words, baby girl,â he instructs. âGood girls use their words, hm?â
âFeels g- feels good,â you whimper, voice breaking as Joel works you. He rubs your clit faster now, and youâre rocking against his palm, splashing the water a little.Â
Joel brings his other hand to your core and lines two fingers up with your entrance, slowly pushing in while he massages your clit. You wince in pain, squeezing his bicep as he pushes them in further.Â
Joel hums in sympathy. Being in the bath means youâre not a slick, slippery mess like usual. âKnow it hurts, kiddo, but you gotta get used to it.â Joelâs fingers are all the way inside you now, and he pulls them back out. âYouâll get used to it,â he drawls, now pumping those fingers in and out of you, slowly. âYouâre beinâ so brave for me, baby girl.âÂ
The ache of Joelâs fingers stretching you out dissipates eventually, and he changes the action - instead of drawing his fingers in and out of your cunt, he curls them repeatedly inside of you - Joel knows you love when he does this to you.Â
You moan freely, relishing in the pleasure. Joelâs right, heâs always right. Youâre used to him now, and he feels so good. Swirling his fingers around your clit, stroking that sweet spot inside you with the other hand - it takes no more than five minutes until your breathing turns ragged and you feel that hot, sticky feeling in your gut, the one that feels both bad and good all at the same time.Â
âAsk for it,â Joel mumbles, reminding you of your manners as he senses how close you are. âBe polite.â
âPlease,â you say, âCan I come?â
ââCourse you can, sweetheart. Of course.â
The orgasm washes over you quickly. You come with a symphony of breathy moans, saccharine in nature. Joelâs never heard anything like it, and heâs grateful he has enough of his hearing left to be able to.Â
With his weathered, wrinkled fingers, Joel fucks you through your climax until the last of it courses through you. You come down, but Joel doesnât stop touching you.Â
Maybe he thinks itâs not yet over. Joel keeps doing those same tight circles on your clit, and you start to squirm. âJoelââ you wrap your hands around his forearm and attempt to move him, but his strength is far too great for your efforts to mean anything at all. Â
âSit still. Youâre givinâ me another one.âÂ
Joel keeps your back pinned tightly against his hairy chest, your legs spread wide with his hand in between them, patiently swirling his middle and ring fingers around your swollen and over-sensitive clit. Your hips are starting to ache and the sensation of Joel pleasuring you has turned uncomfortable, downright painful.Â
âI wanna be done, Joel. I canât do another one,â you whimper, voice shaking as tears well up in your eyes. Thereâs nowhere to run, and you know you just have to take it. âI canât.â
âYes, you can,â he whispers soothingly, his ministrations on your pussy unfaltering. Joelâs holding you back. Youâre not supposed to tell him no. âKnow you can.â
His words serve more to frustrate you than encourage you. âI. Canât,â you huff as you try to pull away from him and close your legs shut in the now lukewarm and soapy water, but Joel keeps you in position in his vice grip.Â
âKnock it off,â he growls. Joel has to hide his amusement. Youâre quick to anger, just like he is. Just like your daddy. âJusâ relax.â
Youâre close, and whether you realize it or not, Joel does. Your twitching legs, the way youâre breathing. Release is right around the corner if youâd just calm yourself down. Poor thing. You always did struggle with regulating yourself.
âGet - I told you-â you interrupt yourself to groan, âYouâre not listening to me, daddy. I said I c-canât fuckingââ you donât finish the sentence and instead seethe in frustration, jerking and splashing bath water onto the floor. âF-â
Joel slaps your cheek, hard. âEasy,â he scolds, âI didnât raise you to speak to me like that.â Joel his nose against the side of your head and bites your ear, the way a dog does with a pup. A warning. âAnâ I donât have to listen to you. You listen to me,â he adds. âAdjust the fuckinâ attitude and try it again before you piss me off.â
Your voice cracks as you whimper Joelâs name, a sob then escaping your chest. Your cheek stings and tingles, like you never stopped feeling the impact of Joelâs hand meeting your skin.Â
âDonât start cryinâ, just breathe. Breathe. Go slow,â Joel instructs, pleased when you inhale steadily. On your exhale, Joel whispers, âYou need me to talk you through it?â
You nod against him, sniffling. âThen Iâll talk you through it. Focus on my voice, focus right here, kiddo,â he tells you. âRelax, just a minute. Calm yourself.â
You rest against Joel, and he pauses his ministrations on your clit. âI canât do it again, Joel,â you plead. âI donât think I can.âÂ
âI know what you think. It donât matter, âcause it ainât up to you, sweetheart. Weâre tryinâ it again.âÂ
Joel restarts, circling and massaging your clit with that same pressure from before. And just like before, itâs uncomfortable. It hurts, and you donât like it.Â
âLean into it, sweetheart. Let it ride.âÂ
Frustrated, you shake your head. âDaddyââ
âYou need to let it happen. Got all night, sweetheart. Waterâs gettinâ cold.âÂ
âJoel.â Your voice cracks.
Joel ignores you. He pumps his fingers, focusing specifically on your g-spot as he knows how sensitive you are there. Your protests begin to quiet, replaced by soft noises of pleasure. âThere it is,â Joel purrs. âMake those pretty noises for me. Youâre doinâ good.âÂ
Pleasure begins to build, just like Joel said it would. It almost makes you mad, mad that heâs right. Always right. Mad that Joel knows your body like the back of his hand, better than you do. The stubborn part of you wants to stave off release, but a bigger part of you doesnât wanna fight Joel on this. You donât like to fight with him anyway. You always lose. So, you allow yourself to bask in the pleasure Joel knew youâd feel.
âYou gonna come one more time? You gonna come on daddyâs fingers?â
âYeah,â you nod. Your eyes squeeze shut as the feeling builds, almost exponentially. Your gasps and moans halt and there it is - Joelâs pulled another orgasm from your body. More powerful than before, the feeling washes over you like the tide, waves of warmth and electricity flowing over your body with each movement of Joelâs fingers. âYeah, attagirl,â he breathes. âManners, sweetheart. What do you say?âÂ
âThank you,â you whisper, out of breath.Â
Joel rinses you with the water as you come down from your second orgasm of the evening. He taps you twice on the hip, âUp,â he says, and you stand up on shaky legs.Â
Joel reaches for an old, floral-patterned towel and dries himself off first, then wraps it around his waist, thick belly bulging over the edge of the fabric. He grabs another towel for you next, drying your legs and arms one at a time before wrapping the towel snugly around your shoulders.Â
âYou finish those dishes?â Joel asks, pulling the drain stopper out of the tub.Â
âNot all of them,â you answer. âIâm sorry.âÂ
âNah, donât you worry âbout it. Iâll do the rest, hm?âÂ
You wear a small smile, âOkay.â
âAnâ I was thinkinâ that I could make us popcorn, like you like. Put on a movie. One of those girly ones I picked out for you, huh?â
Your smile grows. âYeah,â you answer.Â
Joel smiles too. âGood. Letâs get you dressed, then.âÂ

Everyone gets âThe 90sâ look wrong and I hate it
Couple years ago I saw these two board games at the store back to back. Well, not saw them per se, but ya know. Spied them out of the corner of my eye. And for a moment without reading the text, I couldnât tell you which was which decade at first. Funny. Either they were in a rush to get these out the door or they wanted their throwback trivia game boxes to look uniform. I didnât think too much of it.
Only, from then on I started seeing it MORE. Every time someone markets a 90s or 80s throwback...
Goddammit theyâre identical! What??! How did we let this happen? As a 90s survivor and a designer, this drives me up a wall.
Look, I know Iâm late to the party to complain about âthe 90s lookâ when weâre just starting to get sick of the Y2K nostalgia train. But câmon, the 90s were not The 80s: Part TwoâąÂ
Trust me when I say that we werenât all wearing neon trapezoids up until the year 2000. The 90s look being peddled is so specific to the tail end of the 80s and an early early part of the 90s - a part of the 90s when it wouldnât stop being the 80s. This is Memphis design being conflated with the wrong decade.
Keep reading for a long ass graphic design history lesson and pictures of old soda and fast food.
Specifically, the look is Memphis Milano, self-named by the Italian design house Memphis Group. Starting in the early to mid 80s, they made all sorts of furniture, fabrics and sculptures that were like a Piet Mondrian grid painting under heavy radiation. Their whole deal was defying the standards of existing industrial design up to that point on purpose. Chairs had weird arches, bookcases would be in strange alien colors, unusual materials like plastic or elastic were used in place of metal or wood, that sorta thing.
Memphis quickly became the signature look for the decade. You can tell somethingâs influenced by Memphis design from itâs telltale trademarks:
Clashing, neon colors.
Use of diametric shapes.
Contrasting patterns like zebra print stripes, confetti squiggles and checkerboards.
It wasnât long before Memphis Milano-inspired design was everywhere in 80s pop culture:
It was a special time, yes.
I was a kindergartener at the tail end of the 80s, so I knew Memphis mostly through the lens of kids media. Toys, clothes, games, tv shows used it like candy colored catnip. Cable channel Nickelodeon more or less adopted the Memphis aesthetic as their signature in-house style and practically built a monument to it at a Florida theme park:
I think this is why folks mistake what decade Memphis is representative of - 90s staples like Nick, Saved By The Bell, Fresh Prince - they all stayed around much longer than the design trendâs expiration date.Â
Couple that notion with the fact that companies are slow followers to design trends. Something gets popular and they want to get on the bandwagon? Gotta wait for the ink to dry, gotta wait for the production molds to be made. It would take a few years for them to completely work Memphis outta their system.
Now, this is not to say Memphis is bad! Personally Iâm a fan of the aesthetic, if my neon-drenched artwork wasnât a tip-off already. But it is a trend, and trends never last forever.
So what took the Memphis Milano look down for good? This partâs up for debate, but I personally think it had something to do with this dude:
Itâs that grunge music from Seattle thatâs so popular with the kids these days dontchaknow.
Once Smells Like Teen Spirit hit in 1991, the Nirvana tone drove the rest of the decade. Clean geometry became weathered, grainy and organic. Bright neon pastels became more bold. Bubblegum pop music sounded fake and manufactured. Attitude and apathy was authentic. Whatever.
Things got grungy. Things got grimy. Olestra was invented.
I think the best way to visualize this transition is how Cherry Coke entered the decade and how it left it:
1992 Memphis on the left, 1998 grunge junkie on the right. Fitting that the 90s would end with a design that looked like Darth Maulâs lungs.
Okay, so what should 90s retro design look like?
Continue on to PART TWO! Spoilers: No VHS filters or vaporwave needed, but maybe bring an antacid.
