Monday
When the door chimes a little after eight at night, you know itâs him.
He strolls in, usual glasses perched on his nose and jacket layered with a few specks of snow. His hair isnât styled, soft waves adorning his head. He looks like the average person whoâs winding down from a long day at work. From the two and a half months youâve known him, this is his usual state on Monday nights.
Wonwoo entered your cozy bookstore café nearly three months ago. His order rarely varies, and sometimes he orders a drink he could get anywhere else. Yet, for some reason, he always comes here.
And throughout those months, youâve realized you always look forward to his presence.
âBusy evening?â he asks while stepping up to the counter.
Youâre in the middle of packing a pastry for another customer and quickly hand off the bag to your coworker.
âMore so than usual; itâs finals week,â you reply with a small smile.
Wonwoo glances around, nodding as he takes in the sight of many tables occupied by people with textbooks, laptops, and notes scattered around them.
âI donât miss those days,â he chuckles.
âI donât either,â you agree. âSo, what can I get you today?â
Wonwoo peers up at the menu behind you. You wonder why he does so since he usually rotates between three drinks.
âA hot chocolate,â he replies.
âOh?â You canât hide your surprise.
He grins, tilting his head slightly. âShould I have ordered something else?â
âNo!â you hastily say. âYou can order whatever you want.â
He pulls out a bill that exceeds the cost of the order and slides it to your side of the counter.
âJust thought Iâd try something new for the holidays,â he explains, then leaves to find a seat.
âWait!â you call out, bill in your hand. âYou paid too much!â
If Wonwoo can hear you, he pretends he doesnât. He continues his journey and ends up in the corner next to a window by the bookshelves. He retrieves a book from his bag, opening it where his bookmark rests.
Your hand falls to the counter with a heavy sigh. You guess youâll give him his change when you give him his order. Normally, youâd call customerâs names or numbers for pick-up. But Wonwoo is different.
Wonwooâs one of the rare customers who gets his order hand-delivered.
After completing the transaction in the system and making his drink, you grab his change from the register and walk to his table.
âOne hot chocolate,â you announce and set the cup down along with his change.
âIâll take the drink,â he says and brings it closer, blatantly ignoring the cash next to it.
âWonwoo,â you say.
âYn,â he answers, eyes flickering up.
Thereâs a small smirk on his lips that makes your insides churn.
âYou overpaid,â you simply state.
âSo?â
You move his money closer. âSo, take it back.â
Wonwoo slides the money back to you. âConsider it a tip.â
âYou know we donât take tips here,â you say, moving it again.
âYou should. You all work hard.â
âPeople are already struggling as is. If they can find solace in a little place like this, thatâs all that matters.â
Wonwoo rests his hands on top of yours, which is still on the money, and slides it back to you.
âThen consider it a holiday present. From me to you,â he smiles.
His hand feels warm on yours. Your eyes move down, but you wish you hadnât.
His large hand nearly covers yours, making you feel small yet protected. You can tell from his build that heâs strong and fit. You wonder what itâd be like to get a hug from him.
âIââ you struggle to speak.
âItâd make me happy.â
You sigh, nodding hesitantly.
He slowly removes his hand. âThank you.â
âN-No problem,â you say, gathering the change and pocketing it. âEnjoy your book and drink.â
âThanks,â Wonwoo replies and picks up his book. He holds it up with one hand and uses the other to sip his hot chocolate.
You make your way back to the front, trying to ignore the lingering warmth on your hand and the feeling in your chest.
Tuesday
Wonwoo shows up at the same time but orders one of his usual drinks. It's a different book than yesterday and judging by the similar cover, it's probably the next one in the series.
Ever since Wonwoo âgiftedâ you money, youâve been trying to think of something to get him. Itâs a little tough considering you donât actually know him. You know he works a duty-heavy job and that he lives nearby. You know he has a lot of friends despite him being so quiet. Although youâve never seen Wonwoo and his friends in the same room, they often come with him to the cafĂ© in duos or trios.
You also learned heâs an avid cat and gaming lover.
You were surprised about the latter.
âIs he also a student?â one of your new coworkers, Sebastian, asks thirty minutes after Wonwooâs arrival.
You wipe off the cup in your hand and set it on the counter, calling the number associated with it.
âNo, he graduated already,â you reply and watch him practice making a drink.
âYou seem to know him. Are you two friends?â he wonders.
You lean against the counter. âI donât think so. Heâs just a regular here, so Iâve learned a few things here and there.â
âAh,â he replies and hands you the finished drink.
You take the drink and start taking a sip to see how well he did.
âYou should ask him out.â
You choke on the drink, eyes wide as you reach for a napkin to wipe your chin.
âT-That wouldnât be appropriate,â you stammer.
He laughs and takes the drink from you. âHeâs not working here, and itâs not like youâre paying for him to come by. I donât see how itâs inappropriate.â
You sigh, knowing he has a point. Itâs not that youâre not attracted to Wonwoo, but it feels almost out of line. Plus, youâre not sure if you like Wonwoo, or just like the thought of him. You havenât been in a relationship in years and would be lying to say you donât miss having a partner.
You miss being able to share life memories with someone.
Wonwooâs handsome. Heâs kind, funny, caring, and fitânot that thatâs a big deciding factor, but it sure is a bonus. Though, do you just want someone with those attributes, or do you want him?
âJust think about it,â Sebastian suggests and greets a new customer.
Your eyes drop to your feet in thought.
Part of you worries youâd make it awkward if he says no. Itâs not like you are friends, so you wonât be ruining a friendship, but you enjoy seeing his face every day. His simple presence is one of the highlights of your days.
Plus, you donât even know if he has a partner already!
You groan, putting a hand over your forehead as you try to organize your thoughts.
âBad night?â a familiar voice asks from over the counter.
You drop your hand to see who it is.
Wonwoo stands with his empty cup and saucer, book tucked under his arm.
âAh, uh, not really,â you reply sheepishly. You canât disclose the true reason for your state; youâve never been the best liar either.
âWell, I hope whatever is troubling you passes soon,â he says and holds out his dirty dishes.
âYou couldâve left them on the table,â you say, grabbing them from his grasp. Your fingers touch his, and itâs difficult not to feel like a silly teenager in the movies, especially with your current predicament.
âI know,â he smiles, âbut I wanted to tell you bye, and you seem busy.â
You set the items in the sink before addressing him again. âStill⊠But thank you anyway.â
âThe drink was great, as always.â
âThanks.â
âIâll see you tomorrow, then,â he says, slowly stepping away from the counter.
You smile, nodding. âSee you.â
His eyes linger on you before he turns and exits your café.
Wednesday
Wonwoo comes and goes as usual. Itâs a busy night and youâre unable to speak to him much. Itâs not the first time that has happened, so he doesnât seem bothered by the lack of interaction. Regardless, you wish you couldâve spoken to him more.
That night was spent browsing the internet for the perfect gift for Wonwoo.
From gaming headsets to the top-rated books on Goodreads, you felt like you scoured every possible present for him. But none of them satisfied you.
It wasnât until you came across bookmarks in your recommended section that you decided what to get him.
Maybe a bookmark was too boring, but you figured it was the safer option.
You spend over an hour searching for the right bookmark, but again, you come up short. Theyâre either too flowery, too plain, or too clichĂ©.
In the end, you opt for making your own.
You find some DIY bookmark kits online and place an order. Trying not to second guess your decision, you call it a nightâgoing to sleep as you brainstorm what to put on the item.
Thursday
âDo people actually read these books?â Wonwoo asks during your break, which you decided to spend with him.
Your gaze follows his to the wall lined with several bookshelves.
You chuckle, âSometimes.â
âYou said you got these books donated?â he asks, recalling an earlier conversation you had when he was a newcomer.
âMost of them,â you hum.
âDoes your offer still stand?â he asks.
You turn to him with puzzlement.
He smiles. âYou said I could take a book if I left one.â
âOh,â you laugh out of embarrassment for forgetting. âOf course.â
Wonwoo nods and then stands up. He takes two steps to his right, then carefully plucks a book from a high shelf. He replaces the empty space with his own book.
Something about the simple act has your heartwarming. Or maybe itâs the way heâs so gentle with the books as if theyâll cry if moved too aggressively. You wonder if heâd touch you as carefully, if given the chance. Would you find comfort in his caresses the way you think the books would if they were personified?
Wonwoo sits in his seat again, perching his glasses higher after they slide down.
âHave you read this?â he asks, twisting the book so the cover faces you.
You analyze it for a moment, but the title doesnât ring a bell.
Shaking your head, âUnfortunately not. I havenât had the chance to read in a long while.â
âI guess running a business is time-consuming,â he teases lightly.
âHow do you find the time? Didnât you say your work is hard, too?â you ask.
He leans back in his seat, book resting in his lap.
âI make time,â he simply says. âI found itâs important to make time for things I care about.â
Heâs staring at you in a way that makes you think thereâs more to his words than he lets on.
âT-Thatâs a good habit, I suppose,â you say.
âWhen was the last time you did something for yourself, and not the cafĂ©?â he questions.
Your brows furrow in deep thought. You thought the answer would come easily, but it doesnât.
âIâI canât remember,â you answer with your gaze down, a little dejected at the self-reflection.
Wonwoo sits up and leans toward you. He lowers himself until he can snag eye contact.
âDonât be too harsh on yourself,â he reassures. âI know what itâs like to bury myself in my work.â
âYou probably think Iâm pathetic, huh?â you laugh awkwardly.
Wonwoo shakes his head.
âItâs good to be dedicated to something. Your efforts are clearly visible,â he gestures to your crowded cafĂ©. âBut at the same time, itâs also good to not burn yourself out.â
You nod in agreement. âIâll try to be better.â
âNot for me though. For you,â he says.
You offer him a kind smile that he returns. âFor me.â
Friday
Wonwoo doesnât come at his usual time.
You finally finished his gift last night and are eager to show it to him. You try to suppress your excitement, but itâs difficult to calm your mix of emotions.
As you made it, you realized it was the first time doing something non-work related. Usually, youâd be researching new recipes, doing finances, or simply sleeping. Last night, however, you were doing something personal.
Wonwooâs words from yesterday ring loudly in your ears.
It felt good to take a break from work.
It felt good to feel like an actual person and not some workaholic machine.
Some say people come into your life for a reason. Maybe youâd still be stuck in your cycle, if not for him.
You wish he were here.Â
Wonwooâs usually a punctual man, so being this late sends uneasy nerves coursing through you. But, the idea of him not showing up at all is even more worrisome.Â
Perhaps heâs working overtime and will be here soon. Heâs never missed a day.
Yet, as minutes turn into hours, you begin losing hope.
Excitement transitions into worry. This isnât his typical behavior. You donât have a way to contact him either.
Is he hurt? Does he need help? Did you say something wrong yesterday? Did he finally decide he doesnât like your cafĂ© anymore?
Perhaps youâre too caught up with giving him your gift that youâre overreacting. It could simply be a late, late night at work for him.
Heâll be here.
Even if he just grabs his drink to go, which heâs done in the past, heâll be here.
The bell chimes as your last coworker leaves for the night.
Wonwooâs present sat abandoned in your locker throughout your shift. Thereâs an odd discomfort in your chest as you stare at it now.Â
Youâre not sure if it originates from being unable to gift it and see Wonwooâs reaction, or if itâs because he never showed up.
Probably a combination of both, but more so the latter.
Itâs uncanny to not see Wonwoo every day.
You had never thought about how youâd feel if you didnât see him constantly. He was just always there. Always so reliable that you didnât feel the need to consider what if.
What if he stopped showing up? What if you never saw him again? What if he no longer was a constant in your life?
You swallow the lump forming in your throat.
Itâs a harsh reality to know heâs not required to visit. He can leave any time he wants. He can stop visiting your bookstore cafĂ© at any moment.
Thereâs a strange thought about you not being good enough for him. Though, youâre not sure what that has anything to do with his absence.
Why would it matter if you werenât good enough for him? He didnât come to the cafĂ© for you.
Did he?
If it was you he wanted, couldnât he ask you out? Perhaps not as a romantic date, but as friends?
He never has, so he must not want to know you beyond the cafĂ©. Meaning, he doesnât come to it solely for you.
But, what changed for him not to show up tonight?
Unsettled with your thoughts, you decide to distract yourself with the final tasks you have to do before you leave.
However, the ride home is filled with more endless thoughts about Wonwoo.
Saturday
You come to work with less bounce in your step than usual.
The world outside seems dimmer. It feels as if the skies are going to be consumed with clouds and rain is going to fall. However, a storm was not in the weatherâs forecast.
âAre you getting sick?â Sebastian asks.
You force a smile onto your face for the customer in front of you, handing them their order before looking at your coworker.
âNo, why?â you wonder.
âYou donât seem well. Did you not sleep well last night?â
You wish you had, but you tossed and turned constantly. You didnât think Wonwooâs absence would affect you so much, but your mind kept wandering to every possibility for his no-show. In the end, you just gave yourself a headache.
âNo,â you sigh, âbut donât worry about me.â
You try to smile again, but youâre sure Sebastian can see through it.
âWant me to close up tonight?â he offers.
âDonât you have a big essay due tomorrow?â you question, remembering how stressed he sounded a few days ago.
âYeah, butââ
âIâll be fine,â you insist.
Huffing, he nods and grabs the cup from your hand. âThen go rest for a bit while I finish these orders.â
You purse your lips, contemplating arguing. In the end, you relent, moving to the backroomâs couch and plopping down.
Youâve been scrolling through your phone for ten minutes when you hear a familiar voice.
âIs Yn not here today?â
âOh, sheâs not feeling well, so sheâs taking a break. Is there something wrong with our service?â Sebastian answers politely.
You shove your phone in your pocket and head to the door. Thereâs a small window that you peep out of.
You catch a glimpse of Wonwooâs frown before he speaks again.
âNo, everythingâs fine. Will you tell her I hope she feels better?â he asks.
Sebastian nods slowly. Although you canât see his face, you can see the cogs turn in his head.
âOh! Ooh! Youâre that guy.â
Wonwoo looks confused.
âIâm sorry?â Wonwoo replies.
âThe guy that always comes inââ
Not trusting Sebastian to keep his matchmaking attempts at bay, you push through the door.
âWonwoo,â you greet, trying not to seem too eager that he's here today even though you are.
Wonwooâs eyes drift past Sebastian to see you. Instantly, his mouth begins to lift.
âHey, you,â he says lightly, sweetly. âI heard youâre not feeling well.â
âAh, Iâm fine. Sebâs just overreacting.â
Sebastian narrows his eyes at you in a glare.
âYouâre supposed to be resting,â he scolds.
âIâve rested enough,â you shoo with a hand.
âTen minutes isnât long enouââ
âSeb, do you mind attending to the customers behind Wonwoo?â you interject.
Sebastian eyes you before grumbling under his breathâsomething about you being stubbornâthen greets the next customer.
You move down the counter to an empty space.
âWhat can I get you?â you ask Wonwoo.
He shakes his head. âActually, I just wanted to talk today, if thatâs okay. I wonât be long.â
You want to say he can take as much time as he wants, but you hold back.
Concern creeps from the shadows around you.
Is he going to tell you heâs leaving forever? Does he not like your drinks anymore? Did he find somewhere better? Someone better?
âO-Oh, yeah, okay,â you mumble and maneuver around the counter.
You lead Wonwoo to his usual corner, next to the window and the bookshelves. Itâs a little quieter here.
You both take a seat from across each other.
You fidget in your seat, nerves making you angsty.
âAre you sure you feel okay?â he asks.
âJust tired, nothing to be worried about,â you smile.
Something in your chest warms at knowing he cares about your well-being.
âHm. Alright,â he replies a little skeptically.
âIs everything okay with you?â You try to change the subject. âYou didnât come in yesterday.â
Your voice trails off, not wanting to show how concerned you were about his absence. However, Wonwoo can sense it regardless.
He smiles, though the small lift at the corner of his mouth tells you heâs amused with your attempt to hide your worry.
âDid you miss me?â he wonders.
Your eyes widen a bit. âIâWell. I just noticed you didnât come because you always come, you know?â
He nods with a subtle smirk still on his lips, yet it fades after a few seconds.
âIâm sorry I didnât come,â he apologizes sincerely. âOne of my friends was in the hospital.â
Your heart drops and guilt kicks in. Itâs not that you didnât consider the possibility, but you had been more focused on him not liking you or the cafĂ©.
âGoodness, Iâm sorry to hear that. Are they okay?â you ask, frowning.
âHe had to get surgery, but heâs fine. Just a little grumpy and whiny,â he chuckles.
You feel better hearing his small laughter.
âThatâs better than being in pain, I guess,â you reply.
âYes,â he concurs. He waits for a beat then continues, âI wanted to ask you a question.â
You tilt your head.Â
A question. That sounds better than some statement about not seeing you again.
âOkay,â you say.
âWhen we last spoke, it was about you not having enough time for stuff outside of work,â he begins.
You nod to show youâre following but donât cut in.
âWell, thereâs this small event tomorrow. Itâs nothing fancy, just some walking around. I wanted to know if youâd like to go with me?â
Your heart races as he speaks. Youâre stumped for words. Itâs as if youâve subconsciously been waiting for this, but now that the time has come, youâre too nervous to answer.
âYou can decline,â Wonwoo assures.
Although youâre anxious about the idea of meeting outside of the cafĂ©, you donât want to miss the opportunity.
âN-No! I mean, no, I donât want to decline. What time? Where?â you hurriedly say before he can take back his offer.
He grins and holds out a small piece of paper.
You take it, turning it over to see scribbled numbers. You guess itâs his phone number.
âI can pick you up after work. You close early tomorrow, right?â he asks.
You nod, trying to hide your smile at him remembering your cafĂ© hours. Though, since he visits frequently, you guess it shouldnât be that surprising.
âDress warm, okay?â he adds.
âOkay.â
Wonwoo stands from his seat, and you follow.
âGet some more rest tonight, Yn,â he says softly.
âY-Yeah. I will,â you reply.
Although youâre no longer fretting over reasons for his no-show yesterday, youâll be worrying about tomorrow now. Still, youâll try to sleepâmaybe even drink some tea or warm milk. Youâll try for him.
Sunday
Wonwoo comes to the cafĂ© a few minutes before you close. Heâs dressed in a fluffy hoodie layered with a light brown trench coat. He looks soâŠsoft and warm.
Before you depart, you make a drink for each of you. He tries to pay but you profusely veto his offer.
The ride to the event is quiet except for the random music being played from his stereo. Youâre unsure how long the ride is, but you donât care. Even if youâre not speaking, itâs nice being with him in a new environment. Itâs nice to see a different side of Wonwoo. And part of you hopes he likes seeing a different side of you too.
The event is free, but since donations are strongly encouraged, you and Wonwoo slip a few bills into the plastic reindeer before stepping onto the lit-up walkway.
People of all ages are enjoying the event. The walkway is wide enough to accommodate a couple of people at a time, but itâs still crowded. It forces you and Wonwoo to bump shoulders several times, and each time, you both apologize.
You notice a few minutes into the walk that he seems tenser than usual. Youâre not sure of the reason, and he doesnât seem inclined to disclose the answer.
You try to distract him by pointing out different featuresâfrom big blown-up Santas to mechanical reindeer moving up and down. However, it doesnât seem too effective.
Wonwooâs steps eventually begin to slow. He never comes to a complete stop, but with his slow speed, a lot of people pass by. Eventually, thereâs a gap in the crowd and his body relaxes.
He must not be a fan of crowds.
âCan we sit for a bit?â you ask, not really needing to rest but there are picnic tables with fake candles on them nearby that are less crowded.
âSure,â he says.
You guide him to an empty table and sit across from each other.
âThank you for taking me here,â you smile while glancing around. âItâs so pretty.â
The area is filled with multitudes of holiday decor. There are so many lights strung that you donât need streetlamps to see. Itâs rather magical to see it all. Itâs a shame you canât see this all year round. But then again, it might lose its effect if you see it constantly.
âIâm glad you like it,â he replies.
His eyes drop to your hands clasped on the table. Thereâs a slight shiver in them.
Suddenly, his hands are covering yoursâwarmth instantly shooting up your arms from his touch. He says nothing as he rubs his thumbs along your cool skin.
You want to say something; however, it doesnât feel like you have to, so you just stare at him, a small smile on your face while you bask in the warmth heâs providing.
âHow does it feel?â he questions after a few minutes.
You open your mouth to say âgoodâ and to thank him for taking away your coldness, but before you can, he speaks again.
âGetting out, I mean. How does it feel to get out of the cafĂ©?â
âOh.â Your face heats rapidly. Thank goodness for your slow reaction. âItâs refreshing.â
Wonwoo hums, nodding.
âShould we walk around again, or should we go? I donât want you catching a cold,â he says.
âIâd like to see more if thatâs okay,â you admit.
âItâs more than okay,â he reassures.
He starts to stand, but you grip his hands to stop him. He stares down at you bemused.
âI have something for you,â you explain.
He sits back down, hands leaving yours when you pull away to retrieve something from your bag.
Itâs a small black box with a purple bow on it, albeit the decor is a little squished from being confined to your small bag.
âWhatâs this?â he asks and carefully brings the box nearby.
âSince you gave me a gift this week,â you say, referring to his tip on Monday, âI got you one as well.â
âYou didnâtââ
âNeed to? I know. But, I wanted to. And I worked hard on it, so accept it, please?â you say lightly so as to not sound too serious.Â
He smiles and nods, lifting the lid.
Inside is the bookmark you made him. On the bookmarkâs center is a cat with a game controller. Itâs simple, but thatâs the best you could do with your lack of drawing skills. Attached to the bookmark is a purple tassel.
âYou made this?â Wonwoo asks in amazement.
âIâll only admit to that if you like it,â you say out of nervousness.
Wonwoo laughs and glances at you. âI like it a lot.â
âThen yes, I made it.â
His gaze shifts to the item again, examining it closely for a bit. Then, he sets it back carefully in the box and puts it in his pocket.
âThank you,â he says earnestly.
âOf course,â you smile.
You and Wonwoo walk around for twenty more minutes before you call it a night. Throughout the entire walk, he held your hand in his free pocket. The warmth from his body combined with his sheltered pocket made your hand clammy. You felt embarrassed at the fact, but Wonwoo refused to release his hold. Truthfully, you didnât want to let go, but you also didnât want him to be disgusted at the feeling.
Wonwoo drove you back to your café where your car was.
You tried to demand he stay in your car since he parked next to yours, but he still climbed out.
You stare at his eyes which are framed by his glasses; his cheeks are slightly rosy from the temperature. His dark hair dances softly in the wind. He looks so handsome.
Wonwoo leans forward and connects his lips ever so softly against your cheek. You have the urge to turn your face and capture his lips with yours, but you donât.
Thereâs something romantic about going slow.
Wonwoo pulls back with a kind smile.
âYou look beautiful tonight, Yn,â he whispers, breath ghosting your face.
You canât stop the smile forming on your face even if you tried.
âAnd you look handsome,â you reply.
Wonwoo mirrors your grin.
âGet home safely, alright?â he instructs.
You nod. âYou too.â
You unlock your car and climb inside.
Wonwoo lingers outside, watching with his hands in his pockets.
After starting your car and rolling down your window, you lean out and prop your head on your arm thatâs resting on the edge.
He bends slightly to see you better, a small grin on his mouth. His face isnât too close, but itâs closer than it should be for an average person. But, Wonwoo isnât average.
Heâs quiet for a while, and you take the time to observe his features again. Your heart is thumping loudly in your ears. The desire to kiss him resurfaces.
Maybe youâre starting to like Wonwoo. Not just because heâs attractive, kind, funny, and caring, but because heâs Wonwoo.
Wonwoo, whoâs been a frequent customer at your cafĂ© for months.
Wonwoo, whoâs always been supportive and kind.
Wonwoo, whoâs slowly capturing your heart.
âSo, Iâll see you tomorrow?â he asks with a smile still on his face.
âYeah,â you say, âIâll see you tomorrow.â
Because of Wonwoo, youâre always looking forward to the next day.

Pairing: Gator Tillman x Reader
Summary: After a terrible experience, you get to meet Gator, who is fascinated by your pristine nature;
Word count: 1,633;
Rating/Content Warnings: PG-16, AFAB reader, guns, violence;
Authorâs note: Hi, guys! First time writing for Gator. Feedback would be deeply appreciated. Please reblog/like if you enjoy this!
Previous chapter || Next chapter
           It had been some time since the robbery, and Y/N was doing as well as possible. She was still jumpy whenever there were loud noises and avoided leaving the house alone, but she tried to work with it.
           Y/N was home alone, doing some digital journaling in the living room. In the fall weather, it was cozy enough with the fireplace on, a couple of blankets, and hot cocoa. Her parents and older brother were now taking turns staying home with her, but Y/N felt a tad more comfortable being alone for short periods as they had recently installed ring cameras around the house.
           When the doorbell went off, Y/N opened the ring camera app on her tablet and was surprised to see Gator standing there, a small plastic bag in his hands and what seemed to be the things that had been taken from her during the robbery. She ran to the door, flinging it open without warning, surprising Gator.
           Roy grabbed his son by the arm before Gator left to bring Y/N her stuff; âBoy, donât go around messing with the Y/L/N girl.â Gator did his best not to roll his eyes, staring at his dad and nodding absently. âI mean it, Gator. Sheâs a good girl; her father is a preacher, and I need his support for the elections. Listen to me: do. not. fuck. around. with. her.â âWhy do you think Iâm planning on doing something? Iâm just bringing her stuff back; she said thereâs a golden necklace she wanted back. Iâm just being nice.â Roy looked unamused but said nothing else while Gator pocketed Y/Nâs belongings before leaving.
           Eyeing her up and down, Gator couldnât stop thinking how cozy Y/N always looked; right now, in an NYU sweatshirt, a pair of old baggy jeans, and socks, she felt so different from Gatorâs usual: everything was dark, steel, and cold. He could feel the warmth emanating from the fireplace and the sugary, sweet smell of chocolate in the air. The couch seemed exceptionally soft, and the blankets curled up on the floor were fuzzy and probably very pleasant to the touch; the Y/L/Nâs house felt like one of the homes from the stories Nadine told him when he was a child.
           âMr. Till- Gator. Hi. How can I help you?â
           âMiss Y/L/N, Iâm just bringing back your things.â
           âAh, come on. If you can be just Gator, I can be Y/N. There is no need for formalities, right?â she said with a sweet smile, leaning against the door frame. âDo you want to come in?â
           Royâs voice came back to haunt Gator: âListen to me: do. not. fuck. around. with. her.â but it was too late: he had already waltzed inside the Y/L/Nâs house, and Y/N closed the door behind them, effectively shutting out the wind and cold weather. She guided him to the sofa, offering drinks; Gator accepted some coffee and watched her disappear into what he imagined was the kitchen. Even though this couldnât be more common, Gator felt misplaced as a jet-billed cowbird invading a cardinal's nest - he wasnât used to pleasantries or coziness. Roy raised him to take whatever he wanted to as his God-given right, using force if needed, and thatâs what he felt was normal. Y/N, with her gentle smile and naive gaze, was utterly foreign to him.
           Y/N returned to the room carrying a small coffee cup and gingerbread cookies on a tray. âMy mom baked those this morning; theyâre quite good.â He picked up one of the cookies and took a bite, following Y/N with his eyes while she made herself comfortable back to her previous spot on the floor among her blankets, next to his legs. Gator took a deep breath, trying to keep his composure and push away the image of Y/N on her knees; he took a sip out of his coffee.
           âYouâre too sweet for your own good, you know that?â Y/Nâs cheeks turned a light shade of pink, and she smiled shyly. âMy dad says Iâm naive to a fault; my mom says Iâm sheltered, but⊠I just like to see the good in everyoneâ.Â
           âDo. not. fuck. around. with. her.â
           Gator cleared his throat and took the little plastic bag from his pocket. âHere, I brought you your things. From what I could tell, thereâs no damage done to it. And your necklace is in there, too.â Eagerly, Y/N took the bag from him, brushing her fingers in his palm in the process; Gator could feel how soft and warm her skin was against his own, so rough and calloused. He watched her dig into the little plastic bag and drop its contents to the ground, looking for a shimmer of gold.
           Y/N untangled the scapular and placed it back around her neck, and Gator could only focus on the little image nested right between her breasts, hidden under the oversized shirt. âThank you, thank you, thank you! I was so upset just to think I might never see it again. How can I thank you?â
           Feeling his mouth getting dry, Gator licked his lips and smiled like a snake enticing its prey - the darkness behind his action flew right over Y/Nâs head, who was still too happy to be reunited with the scapular. âDonât worry about it, sugar. Just doing my job.â
           âI donât think your job includes going into peopleâs houses to personally give them their stuff back.â
           âNo, it doesnât,â Gator chuckled, âI just wanted to see how you were doing.â
           âMe? Why?â Y/N asked, genuinely curious.
           âYou were pretty shaken by the whole thing. You were crying a lot, and one of the employees said you had gotten hoarse from screaming.â Mindlessly, Y/N ran her fingers over the small cuts that could still be seen on her face. They were mostly healed by now, with no scars or anything, but they were still there, physical reminders of the event. Y/Nâs smile slowly turned into a frown, and her face went pale.
           Gator leaned and slowly pulled Y/Nâs hand away from her face, pulling her back from the bad memories and forcing her to come back to the present. She held his hand tighter, looking up at him with doe eyes. âIt's ok now. You donât need to be scared,â he said in a low voice.
           âBut I am. I canât even handle going out for coffee by myself. The thought of going grocery shopping alone again has me panicking.â Her voice, so small and slightly trembly, made him want to prove - to Y/N? To his dad? To himself? - that he could protect her.
           âWould you feel safer going out for coffee with company?â Y/N nodded. âWeâll go out tomorrow to grab a coffee, ok? Itâs on me.â Gator stated, letting go of Y/Nâs hand and straightening his back, taking another sip of the coffee. âOh, goodness! Please, Gator, donât- thereâs no need to do this; I donât want to be a bother.â He just raised his hand, dismissing her concerns.
           Gator had a response for Y/N, but it died before he could say it, as there was noise coming from outside the house; soon enough, someone was opening the door, and Gator groaned internally.
He forgot all about Y/N's brother, Noah. They were classmates in high school, even though they ran in completely different crowds.
Noah pressed his lips into a thin line, even though his eyes softened when looking at Y/N. âHey, sissy, hope you weren't here by yourself too long.â
âJust a little bit, actually. Gator was here keeping me companyâ.
âGot it⊠and why is our sheriff deputy here? Doesn't he have anything important to do down at the station?â
âNoah! That's not nice,â Y/N said, frowning at her brother. âHe came by to give me back my stuff, that's all.â
âDonât worry, Noah, Iâm leaving. But Y/N, Iâll come by to pick you up tomorrow. Two oâclock sounds good?â Gator said in a humorous tone, already standing up; Y/N nodded, smiling big, while Noah looked like he was ready to commit war crimes. âIâll walk him to his car, Y/N. You can just get back to your thingsâ Noah said and, without giving his sister time to react, he had already opened the door and signaled to Gator to walk out.
           As soon as they had walked out of the house, far enough so that Y/N couldnât hear, Noah stopped Gator.
           âWhat are you doing?â
           âWalking to my car?â
           âDonât play with me, Gator.â Noah hissed, âI know you and I know your type. You always go for the girls who would have sex at the back of your car or suck you under the bleachers. Youâd never in a million years go for someone like Y/N. What are you doing?â
           âCâmon, Noah. You donât think I can change? Thatâs not very christian of you. Also, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Talking about dirty things like that⊠Tsc, tscâ taunted Gator, amusing himself by seeing Noahâs face getting redder and redder.
           âDonât you dare upsetting my sister, Gator. Iâm warning you.â Noah almost growled and, with that, turned his back and walked the steps into the house.
           Shrugging his shoulders, Gator got into his car and started making his way back home.
           Both Noahâs and Royâs words kept going around his head; he couldnât deny that Y/N sparked a darker interest in him, and yes, he wanted to see how far he could take things. But, at the same time, he felt at ease when he was next to her, the weight of always having to prove himself lifted off his shoulders, and he just wanted to protect her. Somehow, in Gatorâs mind, both roles - the protector and the ruiner - went hand-in-hand perfectly well.

I canât tell where the journey will end But I know where to start
Prequel to my Kid Buggy fic, set about 11-ish years before that story.
Buggy meets you by chance when he needs his buttons sewn back onto his jacket. Heâs young, up and coming, and he thinks everyone should cower before him wherever he goes, but all you do is smile at him.
Rating: PG-13ish just for some swearing. Warning: Buggyâs in his early 20s. I also gave him some anxiety and stuff because while heâs in love he doesnât believe someone could love him back. He just has a lot of uncertainty with romance. Mawwiage happens. Alcohol is mentioned. Everyone's having a good time. Two pirates have a heart to heart in a way. A/N: This is second to last chapter so it may feel rushed, sorry! This was only meant to serve as introducing them and their relationship. Though it's funny because I've already made an AU for them featuring an OC for Buggy having an older sister that I've also been writing little fics for. I plan to get the epilogue out this week.
Title comes from âWake Me Upâ by Avicii.

Chapter 18
âYou donât have to have an officiant.â Windy told Buggy that night on the ship while you and Blue prepared dinner. After words with her sister, Windy collected her husband, some rum, the rings, and headed to the ship to have words with the two of you. âEverything Stormy said was wrong. Snow married a pirate but he didnât leave her like that. He goes off for six months and stays home for six months. They make it work.â
Buggy looked at the glass of rum he had. It was better stuff than he normally had. You had managed to make him feel better after your aunt insulted him, spending time with him as you told him all the reasons why you loved him, why you wanted to marry him, and to ignore that bitch of an aunt and her horrible words. Buggy did feel better and he knew you meant what you said, but there was sometimes still that little voice in his head that said there was no reason for you to love him or take care of him the way you did.
âI just told my Captain to say me and Blue were married and he did. That was good enough for us.â Windy chuckled as she sipped her own drink. âYou two can exchange rings and just say youâre married. Whoâs going to come asking for papers in the middle of the sea anyway?â She glanced over at Buggy. âYou seem like the type to just do what you want anyway, Buggy, so if you two donât want an audience, just exchange the rings. Hell, donât even do that. Just say youâre married.â
âShe wanted a ring.â Buggy shrugged. âAnd flowers. I gave her both.â
âYouâre a romantic pirate, arenât you?â She laughed as Buggy scowled at her. âYouâre so cute. Iâm not surprised Sunny fell for you.â
Buggyâs cheeks burned and he looked away from her, gripping the glass tightly. He wasnât âcuteâ but it was a little nice to hear that your mother seemed to approve of him. He wasnât a romantic either, even if he had a picnic ready for you when he was going to tell you how he felt about you, or that he wanted to bring you every bouquet of flower he came across but didnât because what if that was too much? But now he didnât care, he would steal an entire field of flowers for you if he could.
âLetâs go check onâem.â Windy tossed her drink back and headed to the kitchen and Buggy followed after. He was feeling a little off, the doubt coming back as he wondered if he should have done more for you to show you how much he really loved you. There was still time for you to tell him this was a mistake, that he should just leave you behind on the island and sail away far from you. There were other suitors who would be better for you anyway, not some stinky clown who couldnât go a meal without staining his shirt. You had to be tired of him by now, right?
The table in the kitchen was set. You and your dad had pulled together a delicious beef stew full of meat and vegetables, as well as a fresh loaf of bread. Buggy had to stop and watch you for a moment, seeing how much you were smiling when you saw him and that you stopped what you were doing to go over to him, giving him a kiss before leading him to the table to sit. He needed to stop those thoughts in his mind. There was no way you didnât love him with the way you were beaming at him.Â
âBuggy, we should just exchange rings.â You told him once you were all seated at the table. Buggy missed the look your parents exchanged. âI donât care if we have someone here to say weâre married. Weâll be living on the sea, it doesnât matter if we have someone saying it or not.â
âWait, really?â He frowned, looking between you and your parents. âAre you sure?â
âOf course!â You beamed as you reached over to take his hand in yours. âI don't care about having a wedding at all. We can do whatever we want.â
He actually ⊠liked the idea. He didn't want to stand up in front of your family to tell them something that they already knew: that he loved you and would be with you forever, no matter what. He just needed rings. He glanced at your parents, at you, then back at them before pounding his fist on the table.
âWe're married, got that? No one can tell us otherwise!â He announced loudly. âWhereâs the rings? She needs a ring so no one messes with her!â
âAw, our baby is married.â Windy chuckled as Blue pulled out a small box and handed it over to Buggy. He took the box and looked at you, a wave of nervousness slamming into him that he almost forgot what he was going to do next, but he shook it off and opened the box.Â
âSee, weâre married! We have rings!â He told you as he showed them to you. âY-Your parents made them for us because I couldnât find anything better.â He took one out, showing you the design your father etched onto it. It was of Buggyâs jolly roger. âThat way others know who youâre married to.âÂ
He took your hand in his, suddenly nervous once again as he started to slide the ring onto your finger, his hand shaking as he did it. Your parents were watching, he didnât want to mess this up, but he breathed a sigh of relief when the ring slid onto your finger and you leaned over to kiss his cheek.Â
âI love you, Buggy.â You smiled as you took out his ring, pausing for a moment to study it. It was his jolly roger but around one of the eyes looked like a sunburst. You grinned when you saw it, turning it over in your hand to study it for a moment before taking his hand in yours and sliding it on his finger. He held his hand up and looked smug, glancing at Blue and Windy, both who gave him a thumbs up.Â
âHa! Itâs official!â He said proudly as you kissed him on the cheek again. He was holding his hand up to your parents, looking quite smug while the two of them looked amused.
âWe have a pirate for a son-in-law.â Blue chuckled softly, shaking his head. âAnd heâs a captain. Wait til the family finds out.â
You looked up at that, holding Buggyâs hand in your own. âOkay, but wait until we sail off before telling them. We donât need someone storming the ship because theyâre mad they werenât here to see this.â
âThat's fair.â Your mom nodded. âStormy wasn't pleased with our conversation but she may still try to insist on something. If you two kids want, sail off tonight and then we will tell them tomorrow. No point sticking around unless you absolutely want to.â
âYea? I'm okay with that.â You agreed before turning to your now husband. âDo you want to do that? Do we need any supplies before we leave?â
Buggy shook his head. He was suddenly very quiet, his brain now processing that oh, he was married to the woman he thought was the most amazing person in all of the East Blue. You chose him out of everyone you ever met, brushed off all those other men who tried to flirt with you, ask you to lunch, everything and yet Buggy was the one who you wanted to be with in the end. Not that scary man, the handsome swordsman, or even that sharply dressed Kuro. Hell, you'd turn down Shanks for Buggy; he felt confident now in even thinking that and as far as he knew you never even met Shanks!Â
âHoney?â
Your voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked over at you as you held his hand, giving it a squeeze. He looked down, seeing the ring on your finger, the one your parents designed and made for the two of you. His mind was racing, his heart started to pound, and his palms were sweaty. When he looked back up at you, seeing the look of concern on your face, he just grinned and started laughing.
âI'm married!â He announced, looking quite pleased with himself. âHa! Bet no one expected that! Tell that aunt of yours to shove it, Sunny!â
He almost regretted saying that, but your mom snorted before she burst out laughing while your dad nodded in agreement. You shook your head and leaned over to kiss his cheek. âI love you, Buggy.â
He turned red but grinned, looking quite proud of himself for a moment. He put his arm around you, tugging you closer to him as he leaned in to give you a kiss. It was kind of sweet to see the sudden change in his demeanor moments after the two of you put the rings on. You didn't think he'd ever do such a thing like this before, but now that you two were married, maybe he didn't care. He was yours and you were his, maybe he wasn't so worried about losing you to someone else.
~
The ship did set sail later that night after Buggy and Windy had a few more drinks to celebrate. Blue escorted his tipsy wife back home after plenty of goodbye hugs and tears, but you knew you'd see your parents again. Your mom insisted the two of you visit sooner rather than later, and she was pretty sure you would end up commanding the ship over Buggy some day.
You managed to get your tipsy husband to bed with little trouble, he wasn't as drunk as you'd seen in the past, but he was definitely loudly saying what a wonderful wife you were, that he would make sure you were always happy, and that he was the luckiest guy because he had the sexiest wife. You were fine for him to sing your praises as you helped him change into comfy sleep clothes and tucked him into bed.
Once he was flopped onto the bed, arms spread out with the biggest grin on his face, he lifted his head up just enough to watch you change into your own sleep clothes. You caught him staring and smiled at him as you pulled your nightgown on.
âWhat?â
âNothinâ. Just happy because I got the most beautiful girl to marry me.â He looked quite proud of that fact. âYou chose me out of so many guys.â
âI did.â You smiled as you laid yourself down beside him, kissing his cheek as his arms went around you. âAnd I got the most handsome pirate to ask me to marry him.â
Buggy blushed at that, closing his eyes as he rested his cheek against the top of your head. âOh hush.â
âI did! I'm so lucky, Buggy.â You told him as his arms held you close. âYou're so sweet to me and I'm going to make sure you are the most powerful pirate. Everyone in the East Blue will know your name.â
His cheeks were burning as he listened to your words. He opened his eyes and lifted his head to look down at you as you gazed up at him. He didn't say anything, just tilted your head up to kiss you. He was the lucky one, never thinking he'd meet someone like you, fall in love, eventually marrying. It wasn't in his plans at all, but he couldn't help falling in love when he first met you, experiencing your kindness first hand like that.Â
You smiled at him, reaching up to twirl a lock of his hair around your finger. âGet some sleep, honey. It's been a long few days.â

Wake me up. Prologue
Pairing: Morpheus x FemaleReader
Rating: PG
Words: 520
Notes: This idea consists other fandoms briefly. And the reader who walks between dreams of other worlds. But she doesn't remember ot doesn't want to remember what happen to her before the Dreaming. Hope you like it.
I felt something strange just after finishing my work on the Dreaming. Everything was stabilized, but this feeling didnât leave me. Last time, I felt that when I found Lytaâs Hall house. Lucienne walked to me with a report.
âMy lord?â she asked.
âDid you feel something strange again?â I asked. âSomething is going on in the Dreaming again. Do you know what can it be?â
âThe labyrinth is perhaps the source of it," she said.
âThe labyrinth?â It was a surprise. âDo you think a king of goblins is behind this?â
âWe canât be sure," she said. âBut there is a human girlâ.
"Interesting," I said. âI need to check what this all meansâ.
And I appeared in a whirl of sand in the labyrinth. Everything was quiet. I didnât see any goblins. But suddenly, the figure in a dark coat and with messy hair appeared in front of me.
âLord Morpheus, you are back," he smirked.
âI felt strange waves here," I said. âI know that here is a mortal girl. I told you once to stop kidnapping girlsâ.
âI didn't," he shrugged. âShe came herselfâ.
âAnd where is it now?â I asked.
"Somewhere," she said, âShe wanted to stay, and I let her. She was lonely, and..."
âAnd what?â I asked.
âAnd I didnât want to go," the girl said, appearing near the king of goblins.
She was attractive. She didn't look lonely, though.
âYou shouldnât stay here," I said.
âWell, you can try to bring me back, Lord Morpheus," she smirked. âIf you find meâ.
And she slipped to one of the corridors of the labyrinth. And Nightmare stepped from following her.
âLet me go," I said coldly.
âShe can open doors from here to other worlds," he said.
âItâs not the world," I replied. âItâs dreams. And how can she walk through them?â
âI donât know," he shrugged. âAnd she didnât tell me. But I have never seen her wake up. Though she appeared or disappeared from time to time",.
âWhat do you mean?â I frowned.
âIt can be nothing," he shrugged again and let me pass.
âWhy did you stop me?â I asked.
âI tried to give him a handicap," he smirked. âShe is a nice girlâ.
If I knew him better, I would think that he liked her. And the girl disappeared. First, I should talk to Lucienne and then find her.
âMy lord?â she asked, when I appeared next to her again.
âI need you to research this girlâs dreams," I said. âThe king of goblins said that she probably didnât wake up, and she wanders through dreamsâ.
"How is that even possible?â she asked, confused. âShe is not a vortexâ.
âThatâs what I want to know," I replied. âI need to find her, because she escaped the labyrinth. Apparently she doesnât want me to find her and wake upâ.
âOf course, I will check her books of dreams, my lord," Lucienne nodded. âBut what theories do you have?â
âI donât know yet," I replied. âBut Iâm going to find out soon enough. She canât run or hide in the Dreaming foreverâ.

51/49 - S. Reid
Summary: Set during s11e18, Spencer and Reader share a quiet moment pondering the next generation of the BAU Family as they watch over the newborn.
Pairing:Â Spencer Reid x Reader, established relationship, no use of Y/N
Word Count:Â 1.3k
Rating: PG. All works on this blog are for 18+ consumption. Warnings include, but arenât limited to: spoilers for/allusions of the events of s11e18 but no graphic details. Fluff. It is implied that reader is shorter than Spencer. Written as F!Reader, but there are no pronouns and could be read as GN!Reader. If I did miss anything, please let me know.
A/N: I am watching through Criminal Minds for the very first time and yeah, I fell down the rabbit hole. Writing a character like Spencer Reid is intimidating, but this little blurb of an idea was too cute to not attempt. Plus, it was a writing excercise to shake the rust. I hope I did him justice. Likes, reblogs and feedback are much appreciated <3
Click Keep Reading only if you have read the Rating and Warnings and understand the warnings may not be complete to avoid listing spoilers. As AO3 says âcreator chooses not to use warningsâ.
You watched from the hallway as Baby Boy Morgan wriggled away inside his incubator. Despite being introduced to the world before he was ready to debut, his big, curious eyes showed that he was ready to take on the world with as much gusto as his daddy. You fought the urge to press your face right up against the glass to get the best view possible. You felt like a kid outside a toy store window around Christmas, breath fogging up the glass as the magical displays danced and moved, enticing children to beg their parents for the toys.
You felt a presence next to you a moment before you felt the hand on your arm: long fingers with a familiar grip. Even if his shape hadnât been faintly reflected in the window - the tall, lanky form topped with a tuft of messy hair that was holding out a to-go cup from one of the hospitalâs vending machines - you still would have known it was Spencer approaching you.
âHot cocoa.â He offered as the faint smell of chocolate wafted from the cup.
Your smile grew, not that you could take your eyes off of the precious newborn in the other room. You blindly reached for the cup, Spencer helpfully guiding it into your hand. âThank you.â Your throat ached despite the soft volume you spoke at. It had been a long day and the exhaustion was starting to take over, shutting down your body. Still, you couldnât bear to leave just yet.
âI doubt itâs very good,â Spencer continued as he joined your spectating. âThe machine it came from doesnât appear to have changed much since the early 80s, and even then it seems to be used mostly for coffee, but caffeine is the last thing any of us need right now.â
You nodded in agreement, leaning closer to his taller form. His hand slid from your arm to your back, letting you rest against him. âIâm sure youâre right. Like usual.â You hummed teasingly. You felt Spencer laugh more than you heard it, a sharp jolt from his chest where it pressed against you.Â
A comfortable silence fell, welcome after all the earlier chaos. You brought the cup to your lips, blowing gently before taking a sip. It barely tasted like anything, a mere suggestion of chocolate mixed in with the hot water, but the warmth felt nice on your sore throat. It warmed your insides, helping relief settle into your bones. It was over and everyone was safe.
âHe sure knows how to make an entrance.â You mumbled softly, eyes still on the baby.
Spencer laughed again, this time the sound drifted down the nearly abandoned hallway. âHe gets that from his dad.â
You giggled with him, letting your head fall against his shoulder as the silence returned. If you could bring yourself to stop watching the brand new life in the other room, to close your eyes even for a moment, you could have fallen asleep right there in the hallway while Spencer held you up.
âIs it wrong,â you mumble, surprising yourself. You hadnât realized the thought you were having was on the verge of being spoken until you heard your voice. âIs it wrong that I kind of hoped theyâd have a girl?â
Spencer didnât answer right away but you were sure he was just processing. You could imagine the way he would blink as he took in the question, evaluating what had prompted you to say that and what line of thinking might have brought you there. âDepends on your reasoning, I suppose.â He decided.
âItâs such a boys club right now.â You huffed. âItâs all sports and trucks and bugs and mud. I love my nephews but I want a little princess to spoil. Tea parties and glitter and bows.â You trailed off, imagining having a tea party with a little girl with Savannahâs eyes, toy tiara perched atop her messy curls. Or playing barbies with a little blonde girl with JJâs smile and Willâs drawl. You blink the thoughts away, remembering the baby boy in front of you. Who's to say he wouldnât want to have tea parties and glitter when he grows up.
âIt is statistically unlikely to have so many boys born to the team.â Spencer agreed. âAccording to the World Health Organization, for every 100 baby girls born there are 105 boys, meaning approximately 51% of babies born are male. The study didnât account for outliers, such as those born with both sets of genitalia or other birth defects that may affect gender presentation, so itâs not a true 51/49 split.â
You were quiet as Spencer rambled. You knew it wasnât something you were likely to remember and carry with you the way Spencer does, but he didnât expect you to remember either. It was comforting to listen to him talk like it hadnât been such a hectic day. Like everything was normal, or as normal as it ever got in your life. He continued talking about the varying factors that influence a fetusâ development as you listened, nodding along.
âNevertheless, itâs interesting that the BAUâs next generation is all male so far. I guess itâs up to you and I to change that.â He finished.
You nearly dropped the to-go cup you had forgotten you were holding, your head snapping up as you blinked at Spencer. Your tired mind was spinning as you processed the words again and again, questioning what you had heard him say. Spencer looked away from the window as well, eyebrows furrowing as he studied your sudden reaction.
âWh-what?â You stuttered, needing him to repeat himself. Surely youâd misheardâŠ
âI donât mean to assume,â He backpedaled, his cheeks tinting pink under the harsh fluorescent lighting. âI know we havenât talked about it. About what you want from the future and where this is goingâŠâ
Spencerâs hand fell from your back as stumbled his way through an explanation, fidgeting nervously as he avoided eye contact. You set the cup of cocoa on the window ledge, barely making sure it wouldnât fall before giving Spencer your undivided attention. You felt tears welling in your eyes as you cupped his cheek, forcing him to look at you.
His eyes searched around the hall frantically before finally settling on you. You could see the worry and fear etched in his sweet, amber eyes, too soon after seeing it reflected for Derek, Savannah and their baby earlier in the day.
âY-you wantâŠâ You swallowed around the lump in your through, threatening to steal the last of your voice. âWith me?â
Spencer nodded, face open and earnest. âOf course I do.â He whispered, bashful but sure, as if it was as plain as the sky is blue.
You choked on the sob that tried to break free from your chest. There had been far too much crying today. You would have bet that there were no tears left in you to cry, but you would have lost that bet as a tear rolled down your cheek. You bit your lip hard to keep yourself together.
âDo you?â He asked, almost too quiet to hear. You could feel his jaw clenching under your touch, his lip trembling as his pulse jumped.
Unable to find your voice, you nodded.
Relief split Spencerâs face a split second before joy. You didnât have time to take it in as he pulled you to him, wrapping his long arms around you and tucking his chin into the crook of your neck. Your own arms curled up under his as you clung to the soft cotton of the cardigan stretched across his back, his suit jacket long since left forgotten somewhere in one of the many waiting rooms.
You held each other as the two of you trembled, emotions running too high to contain in your mutual exhaustion. There was a lot more discussion that had to happen, and a lot more evil men to put away, but knowing that you had Spencer, and Spencer had you, and the both of you had the entire BAU - was more than enough for now.

The Path to Love's Embrace
Pairing: choi san x fem! park seonghwa
Genre: stranger to lover au; heart broken seonghwa, sick san, fluff, pg-13, wooyoung is a little shit, stress yeosang, blind date, yeosang has a little crush on seonghwa, attempt humor, seonghwa's pronoun: she/her, bad guy hongjoong, silly jongho,
a/n: inspiration from Grey's Anatomy S2, izzie x denny, so sad that denny dies so get ready with tissues if author decide to unalive some of the characters XD
1/5
âSo, you just going to walk away and leave me dumb waiting for another man while you enjoyed screwing other chick, Kim Hongjoong!â Seonghwa yells, big ugly drops of tear flowing down her cheeks ruining her make up. The occasion attracts people on the street.
âSeonghwa, stop. You giving me a hard timeâ Hongjoong grabs Seonghwaâs arms.
âLet go of me! Donât play nice with me and weâre doneâ Seonghwa walks away but before Hongjoong can reacts, a slap lands on his cheek. Some of the pedestrian âwooingâ.
âBye, Hongjoong.â Hj's cheek burned with the sting of her departing words, a painful reminder of the price of his choices.
Wooyoâs Bar
11.35 p.m
"He dumps you?!!" Wooyoung shrieks. "I knew it, that boy donât know me yet. How could he leave this beauty here alone" Woo rubs Sheonghwa's shoulder, trying to comforts her. "Oh, shut up!" Her mascara melt down leaving black marks all over her eyes. âI look stupid Woo,â she sighs, wiping away the smudged remnants of her mascara.
âHey, donât say that. You are the smartest person I ever met beside Yeosang,â Wooyoung spits fact. Seonghwa attended college, but she has an antâs emotional control. Seonghwa decides to move in with Wooyoung, âI want to move in with you,â feels a little bit tipsy, she says the thought out loud.
âWhat?! No, missy,â Wooyoung denies her.
âWhy not?â she challenged, her voice tinged with defiance.
âFirst of all, Yeosang going to kills me if I bring another unwanted guest into his house. He almost kills Jongho,â Yeosang may seem like a friendly neighbourhoodâs dog but he is a no-no person. âTwo, you really want to stay with two men?â Wooyoung looking at her with concern.
âSo what? Weâre not going to sleep together,â Seonghwa shrugs. âOk, fine.â Wooyoung gives in. Seonghwa drunks as hell so he doesnât want to argues back.
âNow, be sober and helps me close this bar, be a good girl.â Wooyoung coos.
Seonghwa rolls her eyes at Wooyoung's playful scolding. "Fine, fine," she relented, mustering a grin despite her lingering sadness. "But only because you're asking so nicely, not because I'm admitting defeat." With a playful swat at his arm, she joins him in tidying up the bar.
Yeosangâs place
1.20 a.m
âDing dongâ
Yeosang opens the door, not surprise with Wooyoungâs presence. âOh hey Yeosang, can Seonghwa crashes âourâ place for a few daysâ Drunk Seonghwa smiles sheepishly behind Wooyoung.
Yeosang raises an eyebrow, unimpressed by Wooyoungâs request. "Fine, whatever," he mutters stepping aside to let them in. "Just don't make a mess." He turns away, already retreating back to his room.
"Thank you, just for a few days. Promise." Seonghwa blows a flying kiss.
Yeosang sighed, relenting just a bit. "Fine, but only a few days, Seonghwa," he grumbled, his tone softened slightly by her pleading. "And no funny business." He disappears into his room again.
Stay tune XD

Kerry had seen and heard a lot of shit in his day. Nothing could have prepared him for a 3am phone call from his ex wife asking if they could come visit. It was the tone she was using.. until she broke down in tears and Kerry had to leave the room so V could sleep.
So now Kerry was driving his family back to the Villa where V was waiting. Kim was talking about her first year in middle school while Ted had his headphones on and was actively ignoring the rest of the family. That was normal for a teenager. But oddly enough, he had given Kerry a hug before he had gotten into the car. Dad win if you asked him.
V was waiting for them when Kerry pulled in, Kim perking up and Louise had to remind her to not duck and roll out of the car to go see her favorite stepfather. Only stepfather now that Kerry thought about it. The kids had actually been in the wedding, Kerry was surprised that Ted agreed and actually didnât mess it up, not that he thought he would, but you never know with teenagers.
Once the family was settled, and a playful argument between the exes about where Louise would sleep (V and Kerry said it was no big deal for her to take the master bedroom while she was there, she refused and said that it was their room and sheâd sleep in the guest bedroom). They ordered some take out, Ted once again oddly close to Kerry while they sat on the couch and Kim talked V into telling about one of his jobs, he kept it PG thankfully.
Once Kim was tucked in and V cleaning up, Kerry got his ex wife alone to talk. And once again, tears began flowing.
âLou, baby what the hell happened?â Kerry never stopped loving his ex wife, he knew why they were divorced and his heart belonged to V now, but Louise would always have a bit of it.
âI donât know, heâs just.. I just.. I thought that maybe you could handle this. I found some weed in his room, and heâs been going to school high and I noticed a lighter and-â Kerry brought her in for a hug, which she fell into. âI got this, Lou.. just.. donât worry about him okay?â He bumped their foreheads together as she nodded. It was an intimate moment neither had shared together in years. It was nice.
Kerry found his son strumming on a guitar by the pool, it wasnât long before Kerry realized it was from his newest album and he sat next to him. The teen stopped but didnât look at his dad.
âHere to yell at me too? I know why mom brought us here.â He said, and Kerry just shrugged.
âNo I wanted to hear you play, some father son bonding if you will?â Kerry smiled when Ted snorted, and once again was shocked on how much the boy looked like him. He knew the boy was becoming more and more like him every day.. and god it scared him.
âKeep playing, I like that one.â He said, fixing his sonâs fingers into the proper position and watching him. Ted was getting better at it, and Kerry felt pure pride in his boy.
He wouldnât ask now, and ruin the moment. He knew what Louise was thinking bringing Ted here when he going through some thing Kerry would know about.. but seemed for forget the boy was still learning to trust him again. Luckily, Kerry had learned patience with V. And sat by the pool with his first born as he played.
#some Ted and Kerry for your thoughts#kerry eurodyne#cyberpunk 2077#cyberpunk kerry#kerry x v#cyberpunk v#male v#kerry eurodyne x v#ker x v#kerry#vax eurodyne#louise nordin eurodyne#ted eurodyne#Kim Eurodyne#the Eurodyne family#father son bonding is desperately needed#I may be using them as an outlet shush

The Boarding House was still, yet not just quiet but completely soundless. On afternoons like today she would have been with Stefan enjoying a nice day together. Instead, Elena was tasked to do research with Damon because apparently she was in martyrdom mode and since Damon already stopped her onceâŠ
The whole situation gave her a terrible head ache. She wished, and sometimes pleaded to an unknown god, she could go back to her old life. Even though being with Stefan was nice, there were days she would trade it all for cheerleading practice, normal Bonnie and Caroline, being able to just play video games with Jeremy and she could talk to her parâŠ
Elena interrupted her train of thought yet again. If she went down that track again she would give up again and this time no amount of pep talk might bring her out of it. She just couldn't do that to herself, not when she promised Stefan she would renew her efforts of trying to do so. She could not give up hope (despite how hopeless it might be).
So engrossed in her internal struggle, Elena forgot⊠or well, disregarded all common courtesy of knocking and just entered his room without notice.
"Elena! Dear Lord⊠would it bother you to knock?" Damon scolded as he vainly tried to wrap a towel around his waist.
But it had been too late and all in vain because when Elena had immediately looked straight ahead in Damon's direction when she entered the room. This, unfortunately, meant she had just seen everything Damon Salvatore had to offer. Everything. Not just limited to the PG-13 or NC-17 sense either. And no matter how hard she could and would try, she highly doubted she could ever unseen "everything".
Finally able to bring her gaping mouth closed, Elena stammered, "I'm so sorry Damon⊠I wasn't⊠ah, thinking."
Was that the best explanation she could give? It sounded more like she was trying to come up with an excuse.
"It's quite alright Elena. Well, not really but to save from further embarrassment I'm just going to go into my bathroom and change, alright?" Damon suggested with his pointed thumb as he gathered his pants before making his way to the second door. All Elena could do was nod.
Elena began to leave with the mind set it would be best to go down stairs and get a start on the research while waiting for Damon when probably the asinine idea popped up. Usually, Elena dismissed something like this but with all that had happened lately who would blame her if she decided to?
Damon eventually exited the bathroom whilst drying his hair, conveniently ignoring Elena's presence. Although, Damon did became aware of her when she waved her hand in front of him.
"Um, Elena⊠what are you⊠Did you owe me for something?" he asked with evident confusion.
"Well, I saw something I've never seen before," Elena tried to explain as she held up the dollar bill.
Confused, Damon gaped at her for a moment before accepting the money with recognition. "Elena Gilbert, really?" he asked with a delightfully surprised smile.
She would probably never cease to amaze him but for once, he was taken completely off guard. It warmed his heart strangely that she would remember one of his throw away lines he used on her and Stefan, and try to make light of the current dark situation they seemed to perpetuity be in. Elena could only smile back before heading to the door, "I'll be in the study, okay?"
"You do realize now," Damon began as he pulled on his shirt.
"This means war?" Elena tried to finish for him.
"No⊠I'll have to pay you back now," he added with his signature 'eye thing' as he tucked the dollar into his denim pocket.
Yet, instead of Elena's usual response of disapproval and smacks, she laughed with genuine humor- the type that reached your eyes and Damon just jumped right in and joined her. For once, it was just the two of them laughing at each other's snarky comments. Elena hadn't heard his laugh for so long and the light hearted one she was hearing now she possible had never heard before.
Elena just shook her head of thought, only to have it consumed with reality once again. She moved back to the door frame muttering, "You probably know what I look like already," before she left.
However, Damon was quicker than her and grasped her wrist to keep her in the room; "We were having a fun moment but you just had to ruin it."
"Excuse me?" Elena questioned in regard to his tone.
"Stefan doesn't seem like the most positive role model if your thoughts turn so quickly to brooding and gloom," he stated, the dark expression from the last month returning to his face again.
"I don't understandâŠ" Elena tried but Damon cut her off, "You know exactly what I mean. God Elena, are you forever going to compare yourself to her?"
Elena ripped her arm from his grasp, "Well, I do in fact share her face, it's only logical we probably share the same body⊠features," Elena tried to finish without a grimace or bile rising to her mouth. Bodily features that ensnared both Salvatore brothersâŠ.
Damon could only sigh, "How many⊠Elena, you are nothing like her. Sometimes I even forgetâŠ" but he stopped himself before correcting, "Elena, I could give you probably a hundred differences between you and⊠Katherine. Particularly in body plan⊠which I would have to guess at because I've never had the pleasure of seeing you, Ms. Elena Gilbert, in theâŠ"
"Damon!" Elena was quick to scold him, which only results in him smirking before resuming, "But I am serious."
"Oh, how so?" Elena folded her arms across her chest; she was always one to defy him.
"Well, Katherine had a child so there's a major difference right there," he began.
"Oh, so she's more curvy and womanly than me, thanks Damon," Elena scoffed.
"That's not what I meant. Yes, she had curves and certain⊠assets that were attractive during that certain time period. Yet she also had an extremely hourglass waist, which was probably due to corsets that I never saw her without."
When that didn't ease the look on Elena's face, Damon decided to change tactics. "She's curvy, I'll give her that. She probably has stretch marks I've never seen⊠and how sexy are those?"
This earned him a light laugh from Elena but he knew he wasn't clear quite yet. "And you Elena, even covered head to toe in clothes, are a different entity all together. You're probably lean and fit with just the perfect combination of womanly charm. You certainly present grace wherever you are."
"Damon," she began again to interrupt him but he wouldn't have it.
"You forget I saw you in the beautiful blue dress at the Founder's Ball and you were quite lovely as you descended the stairs. A blind man could see you and your beauty with such⊠honest truth Katherine could never master with all her fem fatal."
"Damon," Elena's voice came out slightly like a whine but more of a whisper when Damon finished his statement.
"But, of course, I don't know any of this for certain unless you want to show me," Damon remarked quickly, displacing the intimate atmosphere with his sexual tone.
"Damon," she rolled her eyes; that one had definitely earned him a smack on the arm, but Elena still smiled.
"Oh, come on. I show you mine, but you won't show me yours? Elena Gilbert⊠hardly fair," Damon commented with his façade of hurt. Oh yes, her Damon was  almost back - with sexual innuendoes and all, and she couldn't be happier.
Elena turned to leave again but before Elena could reach the door frame, Damon pulled her back to embrace her in a hug.
"I know this sounds horrible cliché but I would not be the man I am today without you, Elena. So, thank you⊠for being there when I needed it," he finished as he gave her a friendly pat on the back, "That's one thing Katherine could never do."
"Well, you've been there for me and to save my life so⊠thank you," she replied with a reassuring pat for him, "Its⊠it's just nice to have my best friend back," she finds herself able to finish.
Damon just shook his head while he rests his forehead on her shoulder for a moment, "You never truly lost me but thanks for bringing me back anyways."
All Elena could reply back with was a 'no problem.'
The two stayed like that for a while, long enough to grasp the moment before Elena could feel awkward and disloyal. They pulled back with a mutual short laugh before Damon turned to his armoire to fix his shirt, "Now, I'll be right behind you. We still have research to do downstairs."
Elena faked an overdramatic look of dread, "Oh great, more homework," Elena joked.
"Yes⊠that could save your life," Damon replied in a snide tone.
Elena left the room with a strange smile on her face as she closed the door behind her. No, she wouldn't trade her life now for anything.
But - wait a minute⊠How could Damon, being a vampire, neglect hearing her walk up the stairs, let alone not hear her come into his room? She could only wonder as she headed down stairs.
" If I see something I've never seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it." - Damon Salvatore.

The Radiant Sun
Word Count: 758 words Rating: PG-13 POV: Quince, first-person, past tense.
Trigger warnings: Intense metaphors, abandonment issues
"It's so freaking cold here, did your heater break or something?" Bradi asked me as I pulled down a box of blankets. He was sitting on my black satin couch, limbs curling into a contorted ball. It had, actually. Truthfully, "broke" was a nice way of putting it. I believed a considerably annoying rascal had crawled into my basement, and, unfortunately, my poor precious heater was a victim in the crossfire. What a mess.
Keep reading
"Yes, unfortunately, but don't worry, I have the solution!" I said, dramatically opening the box and he rolled his eyes. "Would you just give me one already? A warm one, not those flimsy, sorry excuses for a blanket."
"Of course, princess. I'll tell the others to do better," I said playfully with a wink. I grabbed a particularly fuzzy one (What? I can like cute things) and carefully brought it over. He'd throw a fit if it touched the ground.
I wrapped it around his exposed shoulders, gently brushing those dizzying spots as I did so. I could feel the trembling of life underneath my fingers as I touched his skin, then rubbed it with the blanket in an attempt to spark warmth. If he loathed the cold so much, he really shouldn't wear so many crop tops all the time. Not that I was complaining. He looked up at me with caramel eyes, freckles dropped into a pool of lava as the whole area across his nose reddened.
"Y-you don't have to go that far," he complained, wrapping the blanket tighter around him and I let go. How can someone simultaneously be so loud yet so shy? He looked like a vanilla swiss roll. "Iâm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, darling,â I said, pausing to ensure the apology wasnât missed, âIs that all, my sweet roll? Are you still cold? I could make you some warm tea, or heat up some towe-" I was quickly interrupted by Bradi grabbing my tie.
"Don't leave!" he said in a shame spreading on his face as he let go, "I mean, it's still cold. Be a gentleman and...come over here for goodness sake." He opened up his blanket and patted the space next to him. I smirked widely. Well, if he insisted. I leaped over the back of the couch, slipping into the space next to him and putting the "blanket burrito" back into order. With our closeness, our arms rubbed against each other, my dress shirt easily gliding off his sun-kissed skin. Even now he looked as if he had been lying under the sun, face turning as peach as a burn. My body immediately felt like it had been sitting next to a heater, his skin melting through my shirt and causing my very blood to begin to boil.
He reached for my wrist, pulling up my hand and looking at the now still thing. He looked at me for permission and I simply nodded, allowing him to delicately pull off its leather glove. He tugged on each finger until they were all loosened, then pulled it off. He slid his perfectly manicured hand into my wonderfully exposed palm, balling the thing so it would fit there perfectly. I wrapped my fingers around it, capturing it in the pale shelter. He closed his eyes, the golden glow on them shining, though that could never replace the deep brown underneath. Oh no, it wasn't just that he was kissed by the sun, he was the sun, blinding me in every conceivable way.
"You're so warm," he hummed, bringing our hands to his cheek. What a beautiful speckled star. "You always look so dead, I thought you'd be freezing, yet it melts me so nicely. You're like dry ice..." he said, then dropped off tiredly, leaning more into the touch. Any metaphor he planned to say would be lost in those luscious lips, which gently brushed against my knuckles. I just stared, hand twitching slightly as I let the words slip from his mouth and burrow into my skin. I wasn't certain why, but his words shook me to the core. I couldn't help but constantly wonder...
Why did I find it so surprising?
No, it wasn't what Bradi thought. It was simple, really. The sun always shone against the moon, heating it up and causing it to glow. It was so glorious, a fraction of its beauty reflected onto something else. It was that radiant. Yes, it was all the sun's work, and, truthfully, the moon was nothing but a hard, cold rock.

The Perfect Match Part 8 || Taylor and Cale Makar
Summary: When Taylor Makar meets Elizabeth âLiezelâ Estroff he quickly discovers how compatible she is with his older brother Cale. Despite his parents early protestation to leave well enough alone, Taylor makes it his mission to set Cale up with his perfect match.
Authors Note: This chapter is brought to you by the party bus video of Cale and the Cup which I have watched way more times than I can count. Weâve finally reached the point you all have been waiting so patiently (or not lol) for. Let me know what you think. Iâm thinking there is maybe one more part to this before a few epilogues. Also apologies to anyone who is upset Taylor is basically not in this part at all for the first time rofl.
FC Claim: Kirrilee Berger.
Warnings: maybe cursing, some pg-13 making out // Word Count: 4,462
~~~~
Liezel: Hey, our afternoon conference speaker is running long, Iâll be there as soon as I can.Â
Cale: No worries. Just be safe.Â
Liezel: My Uber just pulled up. I think Iâm in the right placeâŠ
Cale: Be right down.Â
Grabbing her purse after tucking her phone back inside it, Liezel climbed out of the uber and proceeded to try to aimlessly fix her curls while she waited for Cale to come downstairs and let her in. This place was fancy, certainly fancier than her college apartment but she supposed thatâs kind of what she expected from an NHL superstar who needed more security.
âHey! Come in out of the cold.â Looking over at the apartment doors Liezel smiled a bit seeing Cale dressed only in a pair of black joggers and a light grey hoodie. It was a stark contrast from her navy slacks, white button up, and grey suit jacket under a black dress coat but she certainly hadnât had time to go back to the hotel to change. And it wasnât like he didnât look good in his loungewear. Moving to the door and therefore Cale, Liezel was a bit surprised when he wrapped an arm around her in a partial hug as he guided her inside.Â
âFood is ready so I hope youâre hungry.â He commented as he led the way to the elevator. âHow has your stay in Denver been so far?âÂ
âI havenât seen much beyond the walls of the convention center. But it seems really nice. The whole thin air thing is going to take some getting used to though.â Liezel replied, sighing as the buildingâs warmth enveloped her, taking the chill away after her short wait outside. âAnd Iâm definitely hungry. We barely had time for lunch today.âÂ
Caleâs half smile covered his face and he just guided her upstairs into his condo. It was furnished about as nicely as any bachelorâs pad sheâd seen but sparsely decorated. After allowing her inside, Cale reached up to assist in removing her jacket, hanging it on a hook before sliding his shoes off onto a mat inside the door. Kicking her heels off as well, Liezel sighed as her arches relaxed and she thanked him softly, following him further inside.Â
Immediately, smells of herbs and good Italian cooking flooded her nose and Liezelâs eyebrows rose a bit in surprise.Â
âI made chicken parm and some pasta, I hope thatâs alright.â Cale murmured, moving around the kitchen easily, opening a small wine fridge and pulling a bottle out. âYou like wine right?â He questioned, his cheeks turning a bit ruddy. Â
âI enjoy a nice glass of wine, yes.â Liezel confirmed, smiling. âAnd it sounds perfect, so long as itâs regular pasta and not that chickpea stuff Nate makes you eat.â Her voice was teasing as she leaned against the counter watching him move. âIs there anything I can do to help?âÂ
âItâs regular.â Cale stated, his body language light as he picked up on her tease based on previous conversations. âIf you want to go get the game on since it should be starting soonâŠIâll bring the food.â He suggested, pointing the way to the living room.Â
Nodding, Liezel did as she was tasked and moved through the space, finding the remote for the large screen tv before flipping it on and pulling up the espn app. Cale was already logged in so it didnât take much effort to find the hockey east section and UMassâs game. By the time she had, Cale was entering the room with two plates which he set onto the coffee table before retreating for the wine glasses.Â
âDo you want anything else?â He called. âWater?âÂ
âThat would be great.â Liezel called back, looking around before picking a spot on the couch because it was clear Cale planned to watch and eat here.Â
When her best friendâs brother returned this time it was with two bottles of water tucked under his arm, two glasses of wine, and napkins.Â
âYou didnât have to wait for me. Dig in.â He murmured, settling everything down on the coffee table next to their plates.Â
âThanks for dinner Cale. It looks and smells great.â Liezel stated as she reached for a plate along with a napkin. Retrieving silverware, she dug in, her eyes going wide in surprise. âAre you sure this is your cooking?â She teased softly, butterflies swirling in her stomach at Caleâs slightly embarrassed but proud expression, his cheeks warm as he nodded while chewing.Â
 âAnother point for Laura in the parenting column.â Liezel grinned, even more impressed with their mom and how she had raised them. It was also another point in the attractiveness column for Cale but she wasnât about to voice that thought aloud.Â
Cale didnât reply but she felt his eyes on her before he turned back to the tv as the game was underway. Watching the game in peace while they ate, Liezel continued to observe Caleâs body language from the corner of her eye. He was instantly more engaged every time Taylor stepped on the ice and it almost appeared like he was holding his breath for the entire duration of Taylorâs shifts. It was clear that he loved Taylor as much as Taylor loved him and that Cale really wanted Taylor to succeed.Â
It was during a commercial break that Liezel broke the silence after taking another sip of her wine.Â
âWoah. This is really good. Way to spoil a girl off the $10 grad student budget bottles.â That comment made Cale smirk a little but any further comment was silenced as the game resumed.Â
By the time first intermission hit, the plates of food had been cleared and Liezelâs wine glass was empty. Though Cale had offered her a second glass, Liezel declined, not wanting to overindulge or risk being tipsy and possibly doing something untoward. Instead, while he went to the bathroom, Liezel moved to gather up dishes and started to clean the kitchen until Cale came back in stating firmly that she didnât have to do that.Â
âYou cooked. I can clean.â She assured him, not minding at all. Sensing he wasnât going to win that battle, Cale simply started to help and within minutes everything was clean and they returned to the living room for the second period of Taylorâs game.Â
Throughout the second, Liezel attempted to get comfortable, but it was difficult to truly relax in a pants suit. She didnât think Cale had noticed but as the period ticked to a close he got up again and when he returned less than a minute later it was with a pair of sweats and a t-shirt in hand.Â
âHere.â He murmured softly. âGo change into these.â Hesitating for a moment while just looking at him, Liezel eventually nodded and whispered her thanks before taking the clothes to head into the bathroom Cale directed her to so she could change. Immediately she was enveloped in the scent of his laundry soap and she had to admit that his clothes were far more comfortable than her own and possibly even more comfortable than Taylorâs were.
Heading back into the living room, Liezel thanked Cale again before settling onto the couch with a yawn. Today had been a long day and she was now enjoying watching her best friend on tv where admittedly the company was much nicer than being alone.Â

Cale could tell Liezel was tired from the moment she entered his condo. He hadnât expected her to be so tired that she started to doze off while watching the third period of Taylorâs game but there were presently five minutes left on the clock and she was asleep with her head dipping onto his shoulder after scooching closer to him, likely for warmth.Â
Taking in her sleeping form during a stoppage in play, Cale couldnât help but smile to himself. She looked cute in his clothes, though they were way too big on her. He knew she wore clothing that Taylor had left behind frequently but it was different seeing her in something that was his and not his brotherâs.Â
Since starting to get to know Liezel, Cale had learned that she was smart and determined, but also that she was funny and goofy, warm and kind. Many of those things were why at first heâd assumed that she had been dating his brother. But time and again Taylor had insisted that it wasnât like that and that he didnât see her that way.Â
And honestly that was a bit baffling and Cale couldnât understand why Taylor wasnât romantically interested in someone as great as his best friend.Â
Looking down at Liezel again as the game wrapped up, Cale felt a warmth in his chest. She really was beautiful, he always looked forward to talking to her and getting her game day âhave funâ texts had become a treasured part of his routine. Plus, she had never treated him like he was an NHL superstar, and Cale felt like with her that didnât even matter and he liked that. He liked her. Maybe a little more than he should.Â
He certainly didnât have the heart to move her just yet.Â
So instead, he flipped on another hockey game and let her rest against his side, caving after a few minutes to press his lips against the crown of her head laying a gentle kiss there.Â
****
Waking up it took Liezel a minute to realize where she was and more specifically whose body she was leaning against. When she did she shifted quickly, an apology spilling from her lips.Â
âLiez. Itâs fine.â Caleâs deep voice quickly assured her as he leaned forward to reach for his bottle of water. âWeâve all been there.âÂ
Brushing her fingers through her hair, Liezel sighed and looked at her phone, wincing a little at the time reflecting up at her.Â
âI should head back to the hotel.â She murmured softly. âThanks for dinner and for the company during the game. Sorry again for falling asleep. They won right? Iâm such a bad friend.âÂ
âGive me a minute to use the bathroom and Iâll drive you back. And yeah they won.â Cale stated, brushing off her arguments that she could take another uber. âItâs not a problem.â He added firmly. âPlus Taylor would kill me if I didnât keep you safe.â He added slightly under his breath as he moved to the bathroom.Â
The drive back to her hotel was uneventful and she thanked Cale again murmuring that it was nice to actually spend some time with him. As she stepped into her hotel room she couldnât help but sigh wondering if that hadnât been a date then why did it sort of feel like one and had she imagined Caleâs lips pressing against her head?Â
Yeah she was definitely in trouble.Â
Cale: So I was thinking and I know you told me this already but you said you leave tomorrow right? If you donât have any plans tonight would you maybe want to come to the game?Â
Cale: No pressure, just thought Iâd offer. You could bring a few people if you wanted.Â
Cale hadnât known what possessed him to invite Liezel to the game other than the chance of seeing her again and knowing that if he didnât then who knows when he would. When she responded that of course she would come, Cale confirmed that it would just be her and then rushed to morning skate early to have a ticket set aside for her.Â
As he settled into his locker, Toewser bumped his shoulder drawing his attention.Â
âHowâd last night go?â He inquired, a knowing look on his face.Â
âThey won. So hockey east championship game on Sunday.â Cale replied as he worked to secure all of his padding onto his body.Â
âI meant with your dinner date.â Toewser grinned prodding just a little because he knew that Cale had it bad for Liezel even if his d partner wouldnât admit it.Â
âIt wasnât a date.â Cale mumbled lowly, grunting as he tightened straps, his cheeks again giving more than he would like away.Â
âSure.â Toewser chuckled before turning to get himself ready for morning skate. Someday Cale would pull his head out of his ass and ask her out, of that Devon was sure.Â
****
By the time Cale stepped onto the ice for pregame skate, his teammates were already well aware that there was something different about this game for their star defenseman. While most couldnât pinpoint the cause, Devon was almost certain he knew and Gabe had his own suspicions after being caught up to date on a Miss Liezel by Caleâs d partner.Â
Cale had been antsy all through his usual warmups and when he made his laps around the ice it was clear that he was looking up at the crowd more than he normally did. Before settling into his spot, his head snapped in a double take and as he refocused, a hidden smile lit up his face. After that it was like all the nerves had left him and he was as sharp as ever though Gabe did notice him linger a little longer at a spot on the ice that was not part of his well established pregame routine and that his cheeks were extra rosy as he made his way back to the locker room.Â
No one could have asked for anything more from Cale that night even if he didnât score. He was strong defensively, stealing pucks and keeping forwards away from Georgiev and he set up multiple powerplay goals to lead the team to a win.Â
Liezel had gotten a text from him during second intermission telling her to stay put after the game and he would have someone come get her. And seeing Cale on his phone, it hadnât taken much for Toewser to approach Gabe informing him that he was pretty sure Liezel was at the game tonight and that maybe it was time to give Cale a little push in the right direction.Â
By the time Cale had stepped out into the hall after showering, Liezel was there waiting, medium wash jeans clinging to her legs and a long sleeved navy blue blouse gracing her torso. Though Cale tried not to be that guy, he couldnât help but note the deep v neck of her shirt. Running his fingers through his still damp hair he approached her, his free hand sliding into his suit pocket.Â
âSo what did you think?â Cale asked softly, his tone revealing a sudden shyness.Â
âWell you werenât the only one to have fun tonight.â Liezel grinned, her eyes twinkling up at him.Â
âGood. Iâm glad.â Cale breathed. âI couldnât let you leave without seeing more of Denver than a conference center.âÂ
âWell itâs appreciated.â Liezel assured him. âI know Tay probably told you to watch out for me but Iâm still grateful because you didnât have to do any of this. Last night or tonight.âÂ
âItâs nothing, really.â Cale murmured, licking his lips once.Â
âItâs something.â Liezel replied. âItâs more than I had anticipated and I really am grateful. Sometimes itâs hard not to just get caught up in the conference and miss everything else the city has to offer.âÂ
There was a momentâs pause as Cale just nodded at her before Liezel decided that she should probably let him get home to get some sleep and she should head back to her hotel.Â
âThanks again for everything.â She murmured, stepping forward to offer a brief hug which Cale accepted. As she moved to pull away she stretched up to press a kiss against his cheek. A slight turn of his head had her missing her mark though, her lips catching the corner of his mouth instead. With her heart fluttering wildly, Liezel pulled back and adjusted her wristlet.Â
âI uhâŠI shouldâŠâ Liezel started, only to be cut off by the booming voice of Caleâs captain who had appeared out of nowhere and was clapping him on the shoulder.Â
âYo, Caler, weâre going out tonight.â His tone suggested that it wasnât an ask but a command. Liezel watched as Caleâs eyes flickered with an emotion she couldnât quite pinpoint but that might have been annoyance. âLiezelâs coming too.â The added statement made her eyes go wide because that certainly hadnât been something she was expecting nor that she had agreed to.Â
Cale opened his mouth to say something but Gabeâs arms were sliding around both of their shoulders, casually pulling them both along with him. Liezel complied, her eyes still like a deer in headlights and she slid into a vehicle after Cale who looked like he was conjuring ways to kill his captain without anyone noticing.Â
****
From the moment they had arrived at the club, Liezelâs hand had been kept full of one alcoholic beverage or another and so had Caleâs. Three shots and a cocktail in and she was definitely buzzed and on her way to drunk and though she tried to keep Caleâs teammates straight she was failing miserably just doing her best to stick close to the rosy cheeked defenseman.Â
To his credit, Cale was always in her eyesight even when he was pulled away to talk to other people and even then he always made his way back to her within just a few minutes.Â
When he was away from her side though, Liezel was okay, taking the time to watch Cale as he gradually loosened up with the alcohol, his whole body relaxing and cheeks rosy even in the shitty lighting. There was something about this version of Cale that made heat settle into Liezelâs core and she struggled to push aside the obscene thoughts that entered her mind.Â
She should not be this attracted to her best friendâs older brother but she couldnât help that Cale was smart, funny, and wellâŠhad the body of a professional athlete.Â
And she had almost kissed him. Well she had kissed him, just not an actual on the lips kiss. And god had that little tease made her want more. Even if she knew that it was something she couldnât have, she couldnât help the fact that her eyes lingered on Caleâs mouth as he sipped his beer or talked with a teammate.Â
God she really was drunk and she definitely should find an excuse to head back to her hotel before she did something really stupid.Â
Lost in thought, Liezel completely missed the approach of a tall dark haired man until he was resting a hand on her waist and laying out a ridiculous pick up line. She wasnât at all interested, but he was attractive enough, despite his lack of manners and personal space.Â
Before she could fend him off on her own, Caleâs eyes met hers and not a moment later he was pushing through the crowd and headed in her direction speaking low but firmly as soon as he was in earshot for the other guy to kindly remove his hand from Liezel. She worried for a moment that something Avs PR would not like was about to go down, however, the hand quickly dropped from her waist as a âsorry man didnât know she was your girlâ slipped from the strangerâs mouth as he quickly dipped out of the area.Â
âYou okay?â Cale spoke, his voice softening immediately.Â
âI could have handled that on my own.â Liezel replied, eyes rolling slightly with annoyance that Cale felt he had to come over to get another guyâs hands off of her without even considering what she may have wanted. âIâm a big girl. Just because Tay said to look out for me doesnât mean you have to come to my rescue. What if I had wanted his attention?â She questioned.Â
âDid you?â Caleâs voice was sharp and his eyes suddenly held a different intensity. âBecause from the way I saw it, you didnât even notice him until he was on top of you because you were looking at me.âÂ
Liezel hadnât even realized that Cale had noticed her watching him and only the random conversations from those around them filled the air as they stared at each other. Caleâs gaze went dark as he dipped his head to peek down at her exposed cleavage before looking back up at her.Â
A shuffle of bodies pushed him closer to her and she would have tipped over if it wasnât for his hand falling securely to her waist, his touch sending sparks through her body.Â
âStop me if Iâm wrong but I think you want me to kiss you.â Cale spoke, his voice low for only Liezel to hear. His fingers gripping her tighter, Cale held her close before pressing his mouth down on hers in an exploratory kiss.Â
Liezel wasnât a saint, she had kissed plenty of guys before but none of them, not a single one compared to this. When Cale pulled back, Liezel took in lungfuls of air before pressing back up for a second kiss. This time Cale kissed her fiercely and Liezel responded with the same intensity having wanted this for longer than she was willing to admit.Â
By the time they both pulled away, Liezelâs body was humming with more than the alcohol. Peeking over Caleâs shoulder she saw a few of his teammates looking in their direction and her cheeks flushed even deeper as she reached for Caleâs hand.Â
âCome dance with me.â She stated over the noise. Seeing Caleâs hesitation in his eyes she quickly added onto her statement. âUnless you want to deal with your nosy teammates hassling you.âÂ
****
Cale absolutely did not want to do that and so he took Liezelâs hand letting her lead them into a spot on the dance floor, his brain still spinning from the kiss.Â
He couldnât deny that the thought of kissing her had crossed his mind once or twice but he definitely didnât think that it would be anything like that. Liezel definitely knew how to kiss and Cale had loved the way her body had felt pressed against his own. Somewhere in the back of his mind was a voice telling him that all of this was a very very bad idea, but presently that voice was drowned out by the alcohol and the warmth of Liezelâs hand against his.Â
As Liezel found a spot, she pulled Cale behind her causing him to groan mentally. She had a spectacular ass and pressed against him he wasnât sure heâd be able to stop himself from getting hard. Letting his hands fall to her waist he tried to keep just a little bit of distance between their hips, at least until Liezel looked back at him with a smirk on her lips.Â
âSomething wrong?â She murmured, tone playful.Â
âTaylor didnât mention you were trouble.â Cale mumbled back. Throwing her head back against his shoulder in a laugh, Liezelâs gaze was full of mischief.Â
âTaylor actively avoids anything regarding my sex life.â Liezel informed him. âSo he has no idea how much trouble I can really be.â The implication of her words had a string of curses rolling through Caleâs head and it was only another moment before he gave into the urge to pull her off the dance floor toward the direction of a quieter corner, pressing her gently into the wall.Â
âKilling me.â He breathed. Almost immediately Liezelâs hand slipped up along his biceps and around the back of his neck to play with his hair.Â
âAre you gonna kiss me again or what?â She teased, urging him forward. Pressing his lips to hers again, Cale took his time, first exploring her mouth again before kissing her deeply and passionately while alternating in light kisses when they both needed to breathe.Â
He was unsure of how much time had passed, lost in the little bubble of Liezelâs hands and lips and soft curves. It had been a long time since he was this attracted to someone, not only physically but also emotionally and he was doing his best not to think about the fact that she was leaving tomorrow.Â
It wasnât until things kicked up another notch further, his hands sliding under the bottom of her shirt to feel her soft skin that Cale felt a tap on his shoulder. Pulling away with a groan he turned to look at the person who had interrupted only to find amusement on his d partnerâs face.Â
âYou maybe want to think about taking this somewhere more private.â He offered with a grin.Â
****
As Cale stared down his teammate, Liezel felt her cheeks flush and she looked at her phone quickly, observing just how late it really was. Making out with Cale had been so so good but unfortunately she did need to get back to her hotel and sleep before the conferenceâs closing session tomorrow morning.Â
âYeah. I uh, I should get back.â She stated softly trying to regain Caleâs attention. Trying to communicate that she really didnât want to but that it was the wise decision, she laced her fingers with his again for a moment. âWait for my uber with me?â She requested, wanting to suck up every minute possible with him.Â
After a moment, Cale nodded and followed her through throngs of people, out into the chill Denver nightâs air. Quickly ordering an uber, she shifted back and forth on her feet before looking up at him, not sure what to say now. Cale looked a bit like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on his head and Liezel had a feeling that he was just as confused about what happened now as she was.Â
Before she could find the words, her uber pulled up along the curb and she sighed softly gesturing for the driver to give her just a moment. Stretching up, she pressed a soft and lingering kiss onto Caleâs lips before pulling away.Â
âThanks again for everything.â She whispered, groaning as her driver honked for her to hurry up. âAnd just so you knowâŠI really really like you.âÂ
Cale didnât say anything as she climbed into the back of the uber, his hands shoved in his pockets and shoulders slumped. Swallowing the lump in her throat, Liezel fought back tears fueled by the lingering alcohol in her system and the feeling that she had just royally fucked everything up tonight.Â
As she settled into her hotel bed after taking a long hot shower during which she let all of the emotions from this trip wash over her, Liezel heard her phone vibrate from the nightstand beside her.Â
Cale: I really really like you too.
Liezelâs top for clubbing:

Hot. God, it was so hot.Â
Then again, summer in your part of town always was. But this heatâ this heat was different. It surrounded you, pulling perspiration from your pores and clinging to you persistently. It spilled down your throat, filling your lungs with every deep inhale. It robbed you of any and all of your energy, leaving you too tired to rouse yourself from where you lay on the cool tile floor of your kitchen in front of the open fridge (the absolute coldest spot you could find in your entire house).Â
You didnât cope very well in warm weather, if that wasnât obvious.Â
And, at the cost of your poor housemateâs sanity, you always found new and creative ways to cope with the excruciating rise in temperature,Â
âY/n a few of myâ how many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that?!â You couldnât bring yourself to so much as flinch as the fridge door was abruptly slammed shut, only managing to pull a whining complaint from the back of your throat as your only source of cool air was ever so rudely ripped away.Â
âFuck you, Mark. Itâs too fucking hot to worry about the stupid electricity bill.â You huffed, peeling your eyes open just long enough to shoot an icy glare in the direction of the scowling brunette.Â
He crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly, lower lip jutting out. âI think you forget that itâs a combination of both of our money going into paying them, so I think that I have a right to worry about how much is coming out of my pocket because you think that laying in front of an open fridge is a good way to âbeat the heatâ.âÂ
âOffer me a better solution, Iâm open to suggestions.â You sighed tiredly.Â
He only rolled his eyes.Â
âOh! Iâve got one,â you exclaimed suddenly, clapping your hands together as a gasp of excitement flew from your lips, âHow about I just strip down and walk around butt ass naked? That should do the trick! Oh⊠but little Mark would like that a little too much, wouldnât he?â You offered him a taunting pout, feigning sympathy as you glanced down unabashedly towards his crotch.Â
Instinctively, his hands flew to cover himself as his cheeks throbbed a devastatingly obvious shade of red, bright enough to rival even the ripest of tomatoes. âYâyouââÂ
Your lips curled with an amused smirk, but it faltered at the sound of thundering laughter coming from behind your flustered housemate. Your eyes followed the sound, finding its source in a group of about five or so men crowding up the foyer. Brows lifting in mild surprise, you shifted your attention back to an even more humiliated looking Mark.Â
âYou brought company.â An apology hung at the tip of your tongue. You really tried to keep your pg-13 teasing to a minimum around other people, especially knowing how susceptible Mark could be to his own embarrassment.Â
âHey Mark, I thought you said your roommate was a raging asshole with the sex drive of a teenaged boy on viagra? She seems pretty cool to me! And hot.â One of the taller boys chimed, a massive dopey grin plastered across his face.Â
You turned to Mark slowly, brows raised. But he wouldnât meet your eyes, head lowered. He wasnât good at hiding his guilt.Â
Welp. No apology for ole Marky boy today.Â
âPlease, allow me to properly introduce myself to our company.â Mark's eyebrows jumped all the way to his hairline as you pushed yourself off the floor and tossed an arm around his shoulder. âMy name is (y/n), but I suppose Mark's asshole roommate with the sex drive of a teenage boy on viagra could work, too.âÂ
The look you shot him out of the corner of your eye had him shrinking in on himself, regret shining in his big brown eyes. But, you ruffled his hair, a silent reassurance that you werenât all that torn up about the comment, especially considering it was hard to deny the layer of truth that lingered within it.Â
Youâd probably subjected Mark to more than his fair share of sleepless nights while you were up into the early morning giving the man (or woman) of the night the experience of a lifetime. A few scathing comments to close friends was more than understandable when looked upon in that light. Besides, you were never good at holding a grudge against your sweet, awkward, puppy-eyed housemate.Â
The tall one that had spoken before chimed in eagerly, âIâm Yukhei, but my friends call me Lucas. Xuxi works, too. Or papi if you're feeling especiallyâ ow!â Lucas yelped loudly as a hand connected to the back of a head with a sharp smack. You watched in amusement as another tall, charming looking man tugged him back, shooting him a warning glare before turning his attention to you.Â
âIgnore him. He has a bad habit of forgetting his manners around attractive women. My name's Johnny, itâs great to finally meet you.â The sweet, disarming smile he offered you had any reservations melting away, and you easily returned the gesture before he proceeded with introductions. âThis Haechan, Jaehyun, Doyoung, andâ Taeyong?âÂ
Johnny pivoted around, brief confusion settling across his face before he spotted whoever heâd been looking for. Reaching behind Lucas, he grabbed someone's arm, tugging them into your line of sight.Â
âAnd this is Taeyong!â He concluded with a grin, slapping a large hand down on the shorter boyâs shoulder. Taeyong dipped his head shyly, not meeting your eyes as he murmured a soft greeting that you were just barely able to catch. Soft tufts of dirty blonde hair fell over large brown eyes as he bowed politely, the air of meekness unmistakable.Â
Oh, heâs cute.Â
Your lips curled into an impish smirk. âHi, Taeyong.âÂ
A faint blush darkened his cheeks and you caught a hint of a smile upturning the corners of his mouth.Â
Really cute.Â
Mark knew you well enough to see the gears beginning to turn in your head and coughed loudly when your stare lingered longer than necessary.
âO-kay, now that youâre all acquaintedâŠâ he stepped in swiftly, opting to intervene before you could get any wise ideas about his friend. âWe have got a group project to work on and it would be extremely helpful if youâd refrain from providing any distractions. I already have a hard enough time trying to get them to focus for longer than five minutes as is.â
âAww but I wanna hang out with your hot roommate, Mark.â Lucas whined loudly, practically throwing himself across Markâs shoulders as the cutest pout youâve probably ever seen fell across his lips. âSheâs got a way nicer ass than any of you guys.âÂ
Doyoung sighed, his face screwing in second hand embarrassment for his friendâs shameless behavior. âLucas, please.âÂ
âHave some dignity, man.â Haechan huffed additionally and you grinned in amusement as he grabbed the collar of Lucasâs shirt and began tugging him towards the living room.Â
âDonât worry, Mark. Iâll stay out of the way. I would hate to hinder your geek fest.â You teased, wrinkling your nose as you stepped past him.Â
âThank you, (y/n). I reallyâ wait, Geek fâ itâs a project worth thirty percent of our final grade!âÂ
âTo-may-to, to-mah-to.â You waved a dismissive hand over your shoulder, before pausing briefly. Spinning on your heels, you turned back to faceÂ
the cute boy, who visibly jolted the moment your attention landed on him. âIt was very nice meeting you, Taeyong.âÂ
âY- you, too.â He stuttered sweetly and you had to fight the overwhelming urge to reach over and pinch those adorable pink cheeks. Either pair.Â
With one last sultry smile, and a wink just to fuck with Mark a little, you sauntered back into your bedroom. Miraculously, you were no longer concerned with the previously unbearable heat plaguing your apartment. Now, you had something âor rather, someoneâ far more interesting to occupy your mind.Â
Taeyong was having a difficult time focusing, which was pretty out of ordinary. He had barely gotten anything done with his assigned part of the project, less than half a page filled out with what little information he managed to collect. Luckily, none of the other guys seemed to notice, too distracted by their own inabilities to focus to take notice of his. Otherwise he would have to concoct some lie. But he wasnât good at lying. He was a terrible liar, in fact. So he would probably just end up blurting out the truth which was you. You were the reason he couldnât focus. You with your mischievous eyes and your pretty smile and intoxicating laugh. Markâs asshole roommate with the sex drive of a teenage boy on viagra.Â
Heâd seen pictures of you before. But they didnât do you any justice. In pictures, you were pretty. In real life, you were beautiful, charming, witty, sexy, and you winked at him. Girls donât wink at him. Not ever. But you had. Youâd winked and smiled at him and he wasnât sure if you were just teasing him because he flustered easily or if there was a chance it meant something a little more than that.Â
⊠he secretly hoped it meant something a little more than that.Â
But he shouldnât be thinking about you right now. He should be thinking about finishing his research. Not your eyes. Not your smile. Not your voice of the way you purred his name and those shivers rushed down his spine and he could have sworn something twitchedâ okay. Thatâs enough. He really needed to splash some water in his face, cool down a little before his mind wandered to places it definitely should not.Â
âAhâ Mark?âÂ
The younger boy lifted his head, brows raising. ââSup?âÂ
âWhereâs the bathroom?âÂ
He perked, tipping his chin forward. âOh, itâs to the right of the kâ shit, wait. That toiletâs busted. Um, just use the one in my room. Itâs at the end of the hall.âÂ
âThanks,â Taeyong pushed himself up with a soft grunt, nearly tripping over Yukheiâs long legs as he maneuvered himself around the cluttered coffee table, âIâll be right back.âÂ
None of the other guys took much notice of how quickly he rushed out of the room, much to Taeyongâs relief. He let out a low breath the moment he turned the corner and found himself in a vacant hallway, but that relief was short lived.Â
Mark had only said that his room was at the end of the hall. But, there were two doors at the end of the hall. Meaning one of them could possibly lead to your room. And you were in your room. Which meant if he walked through the wrong door on accident⊠he could walk in on you. Oh god. Heat rushed into his cheeks at the mere thought of such a humiliating occurrence. For a moment, he debated turning on his heels and returning to the living room.Â
But, he wasnât ready to go back to studying just yet. He was still feeling flushed and antsy and needed another moment or two to himself. Plus⊠he was actually starting to need to pee a little. Damn him and his tiny bladder.
Hesitating, he gently knocked on the door on the right side of the hall then waited ten seconds. No response. Just to be extra certain, he knocked twice more before finally turning the knob. Cautiously, he peeked his head inside. The black out curtains were drawn tight so the room was dark, too dark to make out anything defining outside of the vague shape of a bed and dresser tucked into the far corner. It took a few minutes of stumbling blindly through the inky blackness, tripping over clothes and extension wires until he found what he hoped to be the bathroom door.Â
Without too much of a second thought, he opened the door.Â
Then he froze.Â
He thought it was Markâs room. He really did. He thought he was tripping over Markâs clothes and Markâs wires. Though, he probably should have noticed the light coming out from beneath the bathroom door, indicating that someone might be inside. Or maybe he did but ignored it becauseâ because maybe Mark just left the light on. That could have happened. That totally could have happened.Â
But it didnât.Â
Because it wasnât Markâs room. Those werenât his clothes or his wires and he didnât leave the light on.Â
He realized this all too late of course. Because now he was staring at you. You who was wet and naked and⊠wet and naked. He couldnât move. He couldnât breathe. He couldnât think. He could only stare, dumbstruck, mind short circuiting as billowing steam curled around the shape of your body like an iridescent veil, beautiful skin glistening under the soft golden light. Your head was tipped back, lips slightly parted, hands soothing your slick hair out of your face as the hot water cascading down the swells of yourÂ
breasts and over the curves of your shoulders.
It was like watching something out of a pornographic shampoo commercial.Â
âOhââ it was somewhere between a whine and gasp, strangled and broken by the time it escaped his trembling lips. It was so quiet, you shouldnât have been able to hear it over the hiss of water. So it took him off guard when your eyes opened and flicked in his direction.Â
He flinched, body jolting backwards like it intended to make a break for it, but it was like your stare locked him into place. His brain was screaming at him to do something; to move, to turn away, close his eyes, apologize, bash his head against the freaking wall, literally anything but stand there staring at you with his mouth open like a complete idiot. But he couldnât.Â
The corner of your mouth curled, forming into a downright devilish smirk that sent hot tendrils of desire spiraling through his veins. Then you quirked a brow and it was like a burst of electricity bringing him back to life. His hands flew up from where theyâd been frozen at his sides, slapping so hard over his eyes that he yelped in shock at the sting.Â
âOhmygod I- I am so sorry! I am soââ he whirled around, spewing high pitched apologies as he scrambled for the door. Only, his eyes were closed so instead of bolting out the door he face planted into the wall next to the door. âOw!âÂ
Your low laughter rippled through the small bathroom and red hot embarrassment raced up his neck and into his face. He could only whimper out one finally strained apology as he clutched his throbbing nose and stumbled back into the darkness of your bedroom, slamming the door sharply behind him.Â
By the time heâd managed to scramble back into the hall, Taeyong felt like he was on fire. His heart was beating wildly in his chest and he was certain if he dared to look in a mirror heâd be the equivalent of a tomato.Â
Humiliation gripped at his throat, squeezing painfully around his airway every time he recalled the previous events. Heâd never be able to face you again. Not after that train wreck. Not ever. Groaning distraughtly, he sank against the wall, silently wishing that the floor would just swallow him up and put an end to his suffering.
But, there was something worse than the embarrassment. Something hotter and harder, throbbing shamelessly in the confines of his suddenly far too jeans. He saw you nakedâ wet and naked, looking like a freaking goddess beneath the stream of hot water, soap suds still clinging to your skin. He had never seen a woman like that before. Not in person, at least. And none as beautiful as you.Â
Biting his lip, he squeezed his legs together, trying his best to will away his progressively hardening erection. That, of course, did not work. And it didnât help in the slightest that every time he so much as blinked, the image of you in the shower came rushing to the forefront of his mind, still fresh and vivid and devastating.Â
Oh god. There was no was no way he could go back to working on the project now. If he thought he was being unproductive beforeâ he probably wouldnât be able to get a single legible word written with the image of you and your body burned into the back of his eyelids.Â
He was doomed.Â
And he still needed to pee.Â
Damnit.Â
It was about nine at night when the low voices transformed into booming laughter, the walls practically vibrating under the barrage of stomping feet. It didnât take a genius to deduce that theyâd finished up on their projectâ either that or they mutually reached the end of their attention spans.Â
Regardless, you were bored of remaining cooped up in your bedroom merely for the sake of your roommateâs econ grade and needed to stretch your legs a bit. Not to mention you were beginning to crave something greasy and unhealthy. You were almost certain the group of college boys lounging in your living room wouldnât be opposed to some pizza, fries, and milkshakes from your favorite delivery place.Â
âI donât know about you boys but Iâm starving!â You sang brightly as you all but skipped into the room. All eyes swung to you, wide and stunned as they watched you waltz over to where Mark sat in the love seat and throw yourself into his lap like it was the most normal thing in the world. He grunted under your weight, lip curling in annoyance but wrapped his arms securely around your stomach nonetheless. You pretended not to notice the lingering eyes of one particular boy, meticulously curled into the farthest corner of the couch. âAnyone down to order?âÂ
âUgh please!â Yukhei exclaimed, throwing his head back dramatically. âI am dying of hunger.âÂ
The others were eager to voice their own agreement and you turned to Mark with an expectant smile. âRubioâs?â He asked, already reaching for his phone.Â
âRead my mind.â You hummed, pinching his cheek until he hissed and swatted you away.Â
It was nothing short of chaos trying to get everyoneâs orders, multiple overlapping voices making it hard to discern exactly who was asking for what, but somehow Mark managed to place all of the requests with only a handful of difficulties. Well, all but one.Â
âTaeyong.âÂ
The boyâs head jerked up so fast at the sound of his name that you were surprised you hadnât heard something crack. Up until then heâd been sitting quietly with his knees to his chest, staring at his feet, pointedly avoiding looking in your general direction. He could only hold your gaze for a few tense seconds before his cheeks flamed and he dropped his eyes.Â
âIâ uhâ y- yes?â He coughed, blinking hard.Â
You tilted your head, offering him an innocent smile. âIs there anything youâd like to eat?â You couldnât stop yourself from adding an unnecessarily suggestive pitch to the question, words dancing wickedly across your tongue.Â
Taeyong swallowed and pulled his knees tighter to his chest. âIâ Iâll just have some of the- the pizza.â The words tumbled clumsily out of his mouth and your grin only widened as he became more and more flustered under the heat of your persistent stare.Â
âPerfect. Then we can share.âÂ
The poor boy nearly choked on air when you abruptly pushed yourself off of Mark and sauntered over to where he sat, squeezing in between him and an eager Yukhei, who was more than happy to make room for you. His entire body went rigid, brief panic shooting across his features as you made yourself comfortable. It was tight with Jaehyun, Lucas, Taeyong and now you all squished onto the couch, so you were practically flush against him, shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh. You pretended not to notice that he was holding his breath.Â
âThirty minutes.â Mark announced, shutting off his phone and shoving it back into his pocket.Â
âWhat should we do while we wait?â Jaehyun asked, ignoring Yukhei as he whined about how heâd be dead of starvation before the food even arrived.Â
âMovie?â Haechan suggested.Â
You perked. âI know a good one.âÂ
âNoâ no.â Mark cut in quickly, pointing a finger with the intention to reprimand in your direction. âEvery time you pick a movie itâs either fucked up or really fucked up. So no.âÂ
âDonât be a pussy, Mark.â You huffed, wrinkling your nose at him. âJust because you donât like horror movies doesnât mean your friends donât.âÂ
âI, for one, love a good horror movie!â Yukhei remarked, a smug grin breaking across his lips as he shot a flirtatious wink in your direction.Â
Haechan scoffed. âBullshit! You couldnât sleep alone for a week after we watched The Shining. And that wasnât even scary!âÂ
âThere was a tidal wave of blood.â He grumbled defensively, crossing his arms over his chest as he slumped, lower lip jutting out dramatically.
âNo tidal wave of blood is this one, promise.â You snickered, snatching the remote from the cluttered coffee table and switching on the television. It only took a few minutes of browsing through Netflix before you finally located the movie youâd saved to your watch list a few weeks ago but had never gotten the chance to watch.Â
Marked hopped up to flick off the lights as you pressed play, any excited or nervous murmurs coming to a halt as the opening credits rolled across the screen. Beside you, Taeyong tensed, squeezing his legs even tighter to his chest. You glanced at him from the corner of your eye, not missing the nervous way he gnawed at his lower lip even in the darkness.Â
âNot good with horror movies?â You hummed, nudging his knee. He flinched in surprise, eyes shooting over to meet yours before he quickly diverted his attention back to the screen.Â
âNo, notâ not really.â He admitted weakly, clearing his throat.Â
A playful smirk twirled onto your lips and you subtly leaned into him, whispering near his ear, âyou can hold my hand if you get scared.âÂ
A fierce blush consumed his cheeks, illuminated by the soft grey light of the television. âIâ Iâll be okay.â He coughed when his voice cracked and you chuckled under your breath, opting to cut the poor boy some slack⊠for now.Â
The movie progressed with the usual eerie start before transitioning into something lighter, though the low hum of anticipation-building music never ceased. Even if at some point it became rather repetitive, you thoroughly enjoyed a good horror movie. Most of the time, they failed to meet expectations and you left feeling rather disappointed that your stomach hadnât leapt into your throat any point throughout the film. However, every once in a while, you were pleasantly surprised.Â
Now, was not one of those times.Â
Boredom quickly settled over you as the plot developed, revealing itself to be almost identical to a number of horror movies youâd watched in the past. You slumped back in your seat, a subtle scowl staining your lips. But then⊠inspiration. Devious, unquestionably self indulgent inspiration that risked putting a certain someone in a possibly very awkward (but also very delightful) position.Â
The slow slide of your eyes from the television over to the boy seated at your left revealed that not everyone found the movie to be boring and repetitive. Taeyong was practically trembling. He had both of his hands over his face, wide, uncertain eyes peeking out timidly from between his index and middle fingers.Â
You had to sink your teeth into your lip in order to subdue the large grin threatening to break across your face.Â
Fuck, heâs too adorable.Â
Unable to resist, you allowed a curious hand to wander towards his leg. With a brush so subtle it couldâve been mistaken for a breeze, you traced a finger over the seam of his pants. But, with his senses on high alert, it wasnât a sensation he missed. He jolted violently, head swinging in your direction. There was fear in his eyes, but it quickly melted into relief else once he realized it was you and not some demon.Â
Then his eyes drifted to where your finger lingered, hovering over his clothed thigh, and the relief transformed into something else entirely. Something hot and shameful and desperate, something he tried to hide behind frantically fluttering eyelids and quivering lips. But it was unmistakable.Â
You lifted your brows, a silent question swirling in your gaze. He swallowed, breath coming out in quick, shallow huffs as the unnameable emotion thickened inside of him, then he nudged his leg shyly towards you. The air you didnât realize you were holding in your lungs rushed out in one quick exhale, a subtle smirk curling onto your lips as excitement swirled in your gut. Taeyong sucked his lower lip into his mouth as your open palm landed boldly on his lower thigh, fingers pressing gently into the clothed muscle just above his knee.Â
For a few minutes, it remained there, not moving any lower or any high, simply resting on his leg and he found himself relaxing beneath your touch. The heat of your hand was a welcome âcomforting, evenâ distraction from the horror movie that had progressed to the point in the plot where the reckless characters put themselves directly into the line of danger instead of taking the intelligent path that would help them avoid it all together. You could feel the tension returning to Taeyongâs muscles as suspense building music poured from the surround sound speakers.Â
In a two sided attempt to both comfort and tease, you began gently massaging his thigh. His breath audibly hitched, gaze straying from the screen once more in favor of watching the slow, deliberate motion of your fingers squeezing around his leg. That alone was enough to set his long neglected desire to flames. It burned within him, hot and dangerous, turning his face a dark, flattering crimson.Â
It was too much. Heâd never been touched like this before. You werenât even close to his crotch and he could still feel the distinctive hardening beneath the zipper of his jeans which were growing tighter and tighter with every passing moment. At this rate, heâd make a mess of himself before the movie even reached its climax.Â
The mere thought of coming untouched was enough to make his head feel dizzy, a mixture of humiliation and heady lust licking at his nerves.Â
He couldnât believe he was feeling this way, in a room full of his friends no less. If one of them were to look over, even through darkness, it would be impossible to miss your hand laid across his lap or the feverish blush coating his face, illuminated by the dull light of the tv.Â
Then, your hand shifted higher. It was a minute movement, couldnât have been more than an inch or two. But it had his pulse spiking in his veins nonetheless, blood rushing downward. You gripped gently at the inside of his slim thigh, thumb tracing slow, calculated circles into the rough material of his jeans. He trembled beneath the teasing ministrations, jaw clenched to fight back the urge to moan as your curious touch wandered upwards once more.Â
âIs this alright?âÂ
The question came unexpectedly, a sudden rush of warm breath hitting the curve of his throat. He sucked his lips into his mouth, shivering faintly at the low, rough sound of your voice, just quiet enough that none of the other men in the room could make it out.Â
He offered a sharp, jerky nod, desperately heaving in deep breath through his nose. The corner of your mouth curled.Â
âGod you're shaking. Are you that sensitive? Or do you just get off on getting felt up in front of all your friends? How naughty.â You chuckled tauntingly, words borderline malicious.Â
âIâ I donâtâ Iâm notââ he swallowed, shaking his head frantically in denial of your words, despite the flames they ignited inside of him.Â
âI think you are.â You purred, tracing your index finger lightly over his prominent bulge, eliciting a strangled moan from his trembling lips. He was fortunate enough that at the very moment the sound escaped, some ditzy bimbo began screaming her lungs out in the movie. Still, he slapped a hand over his offending lips, looking around frantically to see if anyone had heard his slip up. Luckily enough, it seemed they hadnât.Â
This was payback, he realized abruptly, this was payback for walking in on you showering.Â
But even if it wasâÂ
It felt too damn good.Â
His head tipped back, hand surging to cover his burning face and stifle his whimpers as you suddenly gripped firmly at his clothed length. A low, appreciative hum thrummed through your chest as you felt him twitch, delighting in just how responsive he was to your touch. His thighs squeezed together, hips shuddering upwards as you mapped him out.Â
The urge to set your teeth upon his neck was almost overwhelming, but you resisted only because it might draw some attention from the roomâs other, currently oblivious, occupants. You doubted Yukhei would miss it, even if he was desperately hiding his eyes behind those astoundingly massive hands.Â
But shit was it tempting.Â
His pretty porcelain skin would look so good painted in varying shades of pink and red. So sweet and pure⊠you wanted to taint him.Â
He couldnât stop moving now, squirming and quivering in place. He was unraveling right before your eyes, and you were devouring it. What a sightâŠÂ
Warmth stirred in your belly, and you rolled your palm down. He jolted violently, then in the next second he was up on his feet. It happened so quickly that you nearly fell over, just barely catching yourself from falling into the spot he previously occupied. Yukhei shrieked in shock, throwing himself directly into Jaehyunâs lap.Â
âFuck, Taeyong! You almost gave me a heart attack!â Haechan shrilled, clutching a pillow against his chest. Instead of responding, Taeyong jerked forward, the movement sharp and robotic, like his body wasnât quite caught up to his brain.Â
âWhat are you doing?â Doyoung asked, squinting at him through the darkness. âAnd why do you look soââÂ
âB- B- Bathroom!â Taeyong squeaked out abruptly. You could only watch with wide eyes and gaping lips as he proceeded to run out of the living room like his ass was on fire.Â
âMovie mustâve freaked him out.â Johnny muttered.Â
âItâs not even that bad.â Yukhei scoffed in a voice too high pitched for his words to sound believable, grunting when Jaehyun shoved him off of his lap. Noisy banter was quick ensue. Noisy and distracting enough for you to make a quick and silent escape without catching any of the other boysâ attention.Â
âTaeyong?â You called softly, worry churning in your gut that you overstepped or upset him. âTae, Iâm sorry if Iââ you gasped, words cutting off in your throat as a hand found your wrist and you were quickly tugged around the corner and into the unlit hallway.Â
The motion was so unexpected you ended up tripping over your own feet, having to slam a hand against the wall to steady yourself. But it was only when you felt a rush of quick, warm breath against your face that you realized the position youâd gotten yourself into. Taeyong was standing in front of you, face flushed a feverish shade of red, faint perspiration glistening on his skin, and he was standing with his spine flush against the wall, effectively caged in by your body. And he was looking at you.Â
Really looking at you.Â
With the kind of eyes that had something tightening deliciously in the pit of your stomach, chills of excitement ricocheting through your veins.Â
âTae?â His name was less than a breath on your lips, laced with an unspoken question. He sucked his lower lip into his mouth, fluttering gaze dancing across your face.Â
âI almostâŠâ he swallowed, shivering voice tapering off as he became overwhelmed by the proximity. He could smell your shampoo, a subtle, smoky-vanilla kind of scent that made his head feel dizzy. âI almost c- came.âÂ
The corner of your mouth swirled, both amused and charmed by the way he whispered the word, tone so innocent and shy that the filthy meaning behind it almost became misconstrued in your head.Â
âDo you want to come, Taeyong?â You asked quietly, jutting a knee forward to press between his thighs. He gasped, trembling lips silently caressing the shape of your name as his hands shot forward, clutching desperately onto the sides of your shirt. A shy nod was all he could muster, the words feeling far too dirty to say aloud. But you werenât satisfied.Â
âSay it.â You murmured, nose brushing against his. His breath hitched at the command, warmth flushing through his veins beneath the staggering heat of your dark, hooded gaze. âIf you want it, say it. If you donât, tell me now.âÂ
âI want it!â He said quickly, only to flush and shrink in on himself, taken aback by his own outburst. Licking his lips, he repeated himself in a much softer voice, âIâ I want it.âÂ
You let out a low hum, curving a gentle hand around his jaw. âCan I kiss you?âÂ
A shock ran through his body, his wide eyes snapping down to trace to soft lines of your mouth. âYes.â He breathed, suddenly desperate for a taste of your lips. You didnât deny him.Â
The first brush of your lips against his is light, delicate⊠teasing. It made his knees tremble, fierce anticipation and wild desire running rampant through him. He opened up for you like a goddamn flower in bloom, melting sweetly when you applied even the slightest bit more pressure. His mouth was soft and warm, his kiss shy. And there was something ever so endearing about the way he clutched at your top like it was the only thing keeping him upright.Â
You kept the pace deliberately slow, relishing in the soft moans that fluttered from his chest as you sucked his lower lip into your mouth, gently sinking your teeth into the sensitive flesh. He was wracked by a violent full body shiver when you licked over the seam of his lip.Â
God heâs adorable.Â
His strong reactions made you wonder if heâd ever been kissed like this before. Or, perhaps, this was a new experience entirely.Â
âTaeyong.â He whimpered when you abruptly broke away from the kiss, but you ignored it. âAre you a virgin?âÂ
His eyes widened, a deep red flooding his cheeks. Then, he nodded, gaze dropping to the floor as the tips of his ears darkened.Â
Wicked excitement curled in your gut, heat licking at your veins at the thought of being the first to corrupt such a sweet⊠innocentâŠÂ
âHave you ever been touched before?âÂ
He shook his head, chest pressing against your with every jagged inhale he drew into his lungs.Â
You dipped a hand between your bodies, trailing teasingly down his stomach. âWould you like to be touched?â Your voice had dropped at least an octave, a low, rasping whisper that nearly made him keen.Â
âYes.â A devious grin settled across your lips at the quickness of his reply. Didnât even need to think that one over, huh?Â
You slid your hand over his crotch, feeling his hips buck uncontrollably when you squeezed. âJust looking at you,â you began, toying with his zipper, âI never wouldâve guessed what a little slut you are.âÂ
âI- Iâm not a slut.â He whimpered, digging his fingers into your waist.Â
âArenât you, though?â You popped the button of his jeans. âI mean, take a good look at yourself, Yongie; letting yourself get felt up and teased by your best friendâs roommate while theyâre just in the next room over. Seems pretty slutty to me.âÂ
Taeyong couldnât help the soft moan that escaped his chest at the degrading word, his cock twitching within the confines of his boxers. Slipping a finger beneath the elastic, you tugged it away from his skin, letting out a playful coo when his weeping pink tip peeked out. The blush on his face intensified tenfold, both of his hands dropping down instinctively to cover himself. But you were faster, snatching his wrists and pinning them against the wall on either side of his head.Â
âDonât even think about it.âÂ
Shivering, he offered a compliant nod.Â
âGood boy.âÂ
He barely had time to form a reaction to the praise before he felt you around him, stroking and caressing. The responding moan that burst from his lips was loudâ too loud. You were quick to cover his gaping mouth, successfully muffling the series of succeeding gasps and whimpers.Â
âCareful, sweetheart,â you clicked your tongue, watching the way his eyes fluttered and rolled as you tightened your grip around his cock, âyou wouldnât want your hyungs to find out what a little slut youâre being, now would you? Mark was so kind, inviting you into his home⊠How do you think heâd feel if he were to see you taking advantage of his hospitality, getting your pretty little cock played with by his roommate? How shameless...âÂ
Taeyong whimpered, and you felt the gentle press of his lips against your palm, followed by a meek flick of his tongue. He was looking at you now, really looking at you, with the kind of pathetic, wanting eyes that never failed to make your skin burn in excitement. You wondered if you could make him cry, overwhelm him with pleasure to the point where he couldnât keep his emotions at bay. The desire to ruin him was almost unbearable.Â
Swirling your thumb over his tip, you slotted a leg between his, pressing up against him from underneath. He nearly keened at the pressure, hips rolling greedily over your thigh, simultaneously pumping his cock into your closed fist. Heaven, this must be heaven. Honestly, you hadnât expected him to succumb to his desires so readily, with such⊠enthusiasm. But this Taeyong surprised you at every turn. Youâd thought heâd be shy, reserved, hesitant to give in, but here he was, riding your thigh and fucking your hand like his life depended on it, his muffled moans pulsing beneath your palm.Â
Itâd be a flat out lie to say you werenât beyond turned on.Â
There was a slick warmth building between your thighs, soaking into the fabric of your underwear, and tight knots in your stomach, threatening to burst at any given moment. The knowledge that less than thirty feet away, your roommate and all his friends were gathered and one stray moan from the crumbling man before you could give away all the filthy things you were doing to him stroked the lustful flames blazing through your blood. One glimpse into those hooded, glassy brown eyes told you he was suffering from a similar burn.Â
âTurn around.â You demanded, somewhat breathless as you tore your hands off of him. A low whimper escaped past trembling lips at the loss of stimulation, a shiver rippling down his spine as his hard, abandoned cock swung through empty air. Regardless, he was quick to comply, spinning himself around and pressing his palms flat against the wall. You hummed a praise, pleased with his eager compliance, rewarding him with your touch. He gasped, forced to sink his teeth into his lip to stifle his whimpers as your hands slipped over his body: one returning to stroke his dick while the other pushed beneath the material of his top, venturing up to his chest where your fingers set to toying with his sensitive nipples.Â
â(y/n)ââ he moaned your name desperately, rocking his body back against yours as overwhelming pleasure pulsed through his veins.Â
âEasy, sweetheart,â you chuckled darkly, splaying a steadying palm across his hips as they began grinding back into yours, âyou sound like you're about to burst.âÂ
He moaned, shuddering when you caressed his sensitive tip, and an idea struck you.Â
âCan you do something for me, Tae?â You asked, voice a low, rasping against the shell of his ear. âCan you suck?âÂ
Any short lived confusion dissipated from his mind when he felt your fingers nudging at the soft flesh of his lips. A deep blush flooded into his cheeks, but his mouth opened nonetheless, shyly taking your digits inside.Â
âThere you goâŠâ you purred, feeling his tongue lick delicately at the pads of your middle and ring finger. He sucked, and you lowered your head to press slow, encouraging kisses laced with whispered praises to the juncture of his throat. You felt the soft vibrations of his muffled moans quivering through your knuckles and against your lips. He was shaking, the stimulation to his cock causing violent tremors to wrack his body. He wasnât far off from release, you could tell as much by the way he was twitching and the slow increase in volume of his sounds.Â
But you werenât finished yet.Â
Not by a long shot.Â
You pulled your fingers from his mouth, the suction of his lips giving with a lewd, wet pop. A filthy sound coming from such innocent lips.Â
Leaning forward, you nipped gently at the shell of his red tinted ear, hand releasing his dick in favor of venturing beneath the hem of his pants. You heard his breath hitched and offered quietly, âTell me if you want me to stop.âÂ
Taeyong nodded in understanding, but offered no resistance as you pushed the thick denim down over the soft curve of his ass. His shoulders jumped, a gasp shooting from his lips when you slid a saliva soaked finger between his cheeks, coming to the abrupt realization of what your intentions were.Â
âOâ ohââÂ
âIs this alright?âÂ
He swallowed, glancing back at you from over his shoulder. âIâ Iâve neverâŠâÂ
You soothed a hand down the front of his thigh, âitâs okay if you donât want to.âÂ
There was no judgement in your tone, rather a gentleness to the reassurance that put his buzzing nerves at ease. âThatâs not it,â he shook his head, gnawing at the corner of his lip as a soft pink crept across his cheeks, âjâ justâŠâÂ
âJust?âÂ
Taeyong drew in a deep, trembling breath. Your furrowed brows shot to your hairline, heat twisting in your gut as he suddenly bent himself over, sticking his ass out, practically fucking presenting himself to you. âB- be gentleâŠâ he whispered shyly, hiding his face in the crook of his elbow.Â
Steam would surely start coming out of your nose if your temperature rose any further. This is fucking ridiculous. How was it possible for a man to be so cute yet so sexy all at once? This couldnât be good for your healthâŠÂ
Smirking deviously, you settled a palm between his shoulder blades, pressing down ever so slightly and watching as he delicately arched his spine. âIâm always gentle.âÂ
A hiccuping moan rushed from his chest at the first careful press of your finger, his brows furrowing deeply as his muscles tightened in response to the foreign stretch.Â
âRelax, sweetheart.â You reminded lightly, settling soothing kisses across his shoulder. He drew in a series of deep breaths, allowing himself to adjust to the sensation of having something inside of him while melting into the tender caress of your cool lips across his feverish skin. You felt the slow dissipation of tension, felt the way he melted beneath you. âThere you goâŠâ you cooed, easing into him until your knuckle before allowing him a few moments to adjust.Â
He was panting, forehead thudding softly against the wall as his hips trembled, a strange but not unpleasant feeling sparking to life inside of him.Â
âOhâŠâ it was a barely audible sound, soft and breathless of shuddering lips. But you didnât miss it, didnât miss the way his shoulders drooped, his walls tight relaxing ever so faintly around the intruding digit. The corner of your mouth curled upwards in a salacious smirk, and you curled your finger experimentally.Â
His reaction was instantaneous, a moan of surprise entwined with unexpected pleasure rushing from his flush throat. He glanced back at you from over his shoulder, eyes wide and trembling, hazy with an emotion you immediately recognized as pure, unfiltered lust. Your grin widened, almost triumphant as you whispered, âfeel that?âÂ
He nodded rapidly, a gasp of breath wracking his chest. âYes,â his hands were curling into fists where they were braced against the plaster wall.Â
âWanna feel it again?âÂ
The sound he let out was a combination of several things, keening and desperate for the sensation heâd never before experienced. âPlease. Please.âÂ
It was impossible to say anything but yes when he begged like that.Â
You rewarded him by stretching him out around a second finger, his knees nearly giving out when you thrust them in as deep as they would go. He was an absolute mess, forced to slap a quivering hand over his gaping mouth when his teeth proved insufficient at keeping his sounds in. You were enjoying yourself perhaps a little too much, enjoying watching him slowly crumble, enjoying watching his innocence shatter into tiny irreparable pieces on the floor beside glistening drops of precum. He was just too irresistibleâŠÂ
âYouâre about to come, arenât you?â He was nodding before you even finished the question, muffled moans and sobs escaping through his fingers as he fucked himself back onto yours. You curve a hand around the shape of his jaw, tugging his head back at an angle that surely causes a strain in his neck, and slot your lips into his. Shoving your tongue down his throat proves a far more efficient means of keeping him quiet.Â
But when you curled your fingers inside of him, subsequently stroking that sensitive bundle of nerves, even your mouth wasnât enough to stifle the shriek of pleasure that burst from his throat. You were hoping the screams you heard emulating from the other room were enough to drown it out.Â
âKeep your voice down.â You all but snarled, curling a hand around his throat.Â
âI- I canâtâ oh god, it feels so g- good.â He babbled, voice strained from the sheer effort of trying to keep himself from crying out in bliss. âIâm g- gonna comeâ Iâm gonna c- comeââ the sound of him choking on his words, gasping for breath around the added resistance of your restricting hold was even hotter than you imagined it would be.Â
âGone on, sweetheart. Let me see you make a mess of yourself.â You kissed the shell of his ear, deciding then to have mercy and offer his pathetic, weeping cock a helping hand. He was finished the moment your fingers grazed his tip, struck with an orgasm so powerful it had his knees buckling beneath the weight of his quivering body.Â
His jaw when slack, unleashing every pent up sound heâd managed to keep bottled up thus far. They came rushing out of him too quickly to stop, not that you made much of an effort. You were enjoying the way he was moaning your name like it was his saving grace far too much to care whether or not the other boys were hearing. In fact, the thought of them hearing their sweet, innocent Taeyong whimpering like a bitch in heat, moaning your name, gave you an unexpected rush of delight.Â
You didnât stop fucking your fingers into his tight little hole until you were certain youâd milked him for all he was worth, until he was reduced to little more than a trembling, whimpering mess against your chest, barely able to keep himself upright.Â
âOh my g- god.â He murmured shakily, head falling back to rest on your shoulder.Â
A low chuckle slid from your lips as you gently released his spent cock, simultaneously pulling out of him. He winced faintly, whining weakly at the unpleasant emptiness that ensued.Â
âThat felt pretty good didnât it?â You teased.Â
He bit his lip, humming airily as he melted into your hold.Â
âYouâre a good boy, arenât you, Taeyong?â Your words danced over the curve of his throat, flooding his senses with the fluttering implication. Blushing, he nodded, a shy bob of his head that caused the sweat soaked fringes of his bangs to fall over his eyes, clinging delicately to his pretty eyelashes. âWords?âÂ
âIââ he swallowed, gaze flitting as his face reddened further, âIâm a g- good boy.âÂ
You mouth curled deviously. Holding your come covered hand up to his panting mouth, you whispered against the shell of his ear, âgood boys clean up their mess.âÂ
His breath hitched, wide eyes jumping over to meet yours. You held his gaze boldly, cocking an expectant brow. Then, ever so lightly, his tongue dipped out from between red bitten lips, kitten licking his come from your fingertips. You couldâve come right then and there, watching him shyly lap his own release from your hand. Honestly you wouldâve been happy to stay like that all night, his tongue tracing the lines of your palm, caressing your knucklesâŠÂ
But then the doorbell rang, and someone cleared their throat in the other room.Â
âUh⊠foods here.âÂ
Taeyong leapt away from you with a gasp, flushing deeply as his hands flew to tuck himself back into his jeans.Â
âD- do you think theyââ his voice cracked and he coughed as crimson crept up his neck.Â
You smirked, not in the least bit ashamed.Â
âOh, definitely.â
A/N; well i dropped off the face of the earth, sorry about that loves. but i think youâll be happy to know that i have a number of wip sitting in drafts, should i tease the banners?Â

Drabble: The Car Auction
This is for the March 2nd Wicked Wednesday at @the-ce-horniest-book-clubâ I wasnât sure about this one at first because I tend to write a softer Ransom... but after reading it again today (I wrote it last night), Iâm liking it a lot more!
The prompt I used is "Did you just give me a compliment?".
Title: The Car Auction
Pairing: Ransom Drysdale x female reader
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: language, suggestive
Disclaimer: This work of fiction is not to be reposted, used or translated without my permission.
"He's here," your friend muttered to you before she slinked off.
Since you knew he'd seek you out, you stayed where you were, admiring the classic cars up for auction.
"You clean up nicely," Ransom said from behind you, a moment later.
You rolled your eyes before you turned and gave your best customer a charming smile. "Hello, Ransom."
The two of you had met at a similar car auction ten years ago when he'd shown up late and outbid you on the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi that had almost been yours.
The first time he'd brought the car to your shop, you figured it was to rub the fact that the car was his and not yours in your face and you had charged him that extra pain in the ass fee because of it. The joke was on him, however, because after that, you were the only one he trusted with his baby.
"What brings you here tonight?" you asked, pretending you didn't know.
Ransom smirked and gave you a look that said he knew what game you were playing. "The 1962 Sunbeam Alpine is going home with me," he stated, in a cold whisper. "I didn't come here to play any games."
"Oh, is there a Sunbeam here?" you asked, pretending to be surprised. "I'm here for the Thunderbird, myself."
"Don't play cute," he snapped. "You don't fuck with me and I'll continue to bring my cars to your garage. Fuck with me and we'll see what happens."
Before you could come up with a response, the auctioneer called everyone forward to start.
Unable to shake Ransom, you ended up sitting next to him. Obviously, he meant to keep his eye on you all evening.
Thankfully, the 1956 Ford Thunderbird came onto the auction block first and you put in the first bid. Ransom, the jackass, upped the bid a couple times, nearly to your max amount, but he backed off after the two of you shared a look.
"I did you a favor," he muttered in your ear as your final bid was announced as the winner.
"And I'm doing you one," you retorted as you stood up. "I got what I came for. Good luck, Ransom."
It took everything in you to keep your head towards the back of the building as you left to pay for your new car. You didn't have the money yet, exactly, but it was only a matter of time.
--------
It was finally time, Ransom thought, as the 1962 Sunbeam Alpine Series II was driven into view. He'd been dreaming about owning this exact James Bond car since he was a kid and now it would finally be his.
Not wanting to play any games or let anyone else think they were going to win his car, he called out a crazy bid. A bid that no one in their right mind would counter.
Except someone did, from across the room. He couldn't see them from where he sat, but he quickly raised his padel to increase his bid.
The joker across the room forced him to go nearly $25 grand higher than he'd planned to, but they finally bowed out, leaving the car to him.
He was congratulated, and called many a bad name, by people as he made his way to pay for his new toy. He felt nothing but joy as he signed his check and collected the papers for the car. He even took the long way home in his fully restored new car.
It wasn't until he got home and looked at the DMV paperwork and saw who the previous owner was that his joy came crashing down.
--------
"God," you sighed as your best friend recounted what had happened the night before at the auction. "I wish I could have been there and seen his face when you bid against him."
"I would have loved to have seen it myself," she said with a laugh. "But you told me to act like nothing was going on, so I resisted. But I swear you could hear everyone's heads turning as we went back and forth."
You opened your mouth to reply, but stopped when you looked up and saw Ransom standing outside the open garage door.
"Oh fuck," you muttered into the phone. "He's here."
"Don't hang up!" your friend demanded. "I'll listen and call 9-1-1 if you cry for help."
You nodded and pretended to hang up the phone as you set it down on top of your rolling tool chest. Honestly, you didn't think he would hurt you, but you'd kind of figured he'd be pissed once he found out what you'd done.
"You played me like a fool," he fumed as he entered the garage.
"How so?" you countered.
"The Sunbeam, it was yours this whole time," he stated and then narrowed your eyes. "And you don't seem that surprised to see me this morning."
"You always show up unannounced," you said with a shrug. "Nothing out of the ordinary here."
Ransom narrowed his eyes. "Who was she?" he asked.
"Who was who?" you retorted.
"The other bidder at the auction last night," he stated.
"I don't know because I left before then," you reminded him.
"You know who it was, I know you do," he growled.
"What did they look like?" you asked him. "If you can describe them, maybe I'll recognize them. I'm good with faces."
He glared at you and you glared right back at him.
"Here's what I think happened," he stated, his arms crossed over his chest as he glowered at you. "You paid someone to up the bid on the car I wanted that you just happened to be selling."
"I did not pay anyone anything," you snapped back. It wasn't a lie, your friend had nearly done you a favor last night.
The vein in his neck pulsed as he visually tried to contain his anger.
With as angry as he was, you were surprised at how calm you were, but you were more surprised at how your body was responding to Ransom and his glare. You could only hope that your coveralls really covered all including your nipples.
"And even if I did, you couldn't prove anything." The words came flying out of your mouth before you really considered them.
His nostrils flared and you took an automatic step backwards. Which wouldn't have been a bad thing, except for the fact that you ran into the rolling tool box that you hadn't bothered to set the locks on.
Your hands flailed as you started to fall backwards, visions of smashing your head on the cement floor of the garage flashing through your mind.
Then you felt a strong hand grab one of your wrists and yank you forward. Instead of falling and hitting the floor, you found yourself smashing into Ransom's hard chest.
"I've got you. You're ok." The anger was completely gone from his voice.
"Thank you," you said in barely a whisper.
It happened in slow motion, after that.
Your eyes met his.
His head tilted towards yours.
Your head aligned with his.
His mouth met yours.
Never in all the years of working with Ransom had you ever thought about kissing him, but now that you were, you couldn't imagine not wanting to kiss him. The man drove you fucking crazy, but only when he talked.
And his mouth was clearly made for better things.
"Fuck, I love your mouth," you muttered as he kissed down your neck.
He paused and you felt the bastard smile against your neck.
"Did you just give me a compliment?" he asked, grinning at you in that cocky bastard way of his.
"Oh shut up and kiss me," you retorted, pulling his face back to yours.
--------
Meanwhile, at your friendâs house, she was starting to get worried.
Sheâd heard the garage door close, but after that things had gotten too quiet.
Just as she was heading out to her car, your voice finally reached the forgotten phone from somewhere else in the garage.
âOh god, yes, Ransom,â you moaned.
Stopping dead in her tracks, your friend clutched the phone to her ear and listened.
âYes, oh! Right there! Yes!â
Suddenly realizing what was going on and what she was doing, your friend pulled the phone away from her ear and ended the call.
Then, because she couldnât resist, she sent you a text.
Well that conversation turned interesting. Canât wait to find out what Ransom was doing that made you moan like THAT! đ
Sunday. Brunch. Girl, you owe me all the details! đ

i know we as a collective society believe in gamer! eren supremacy. and yes, this is a good take. however, may i introduce to you: normie/fuckboy/jock eren with gamer/nerd gf. thoughts under the cut (safe for work, pg-13, also slight snk spoilers for season 3 and up!)
see, eren isnt necessarily a fuckboy. in fact, hes very loyal! he doesnt really think that way about any girls or guys except you. but hes popular romantically and had a reputation for sleeping around before he met you (not that theres anything wrong with that but ya know word travels fast across campus). plus, cmon the dude is in a frat, super hot and has a tongue piercing. he cant blame anyone for thinking he is a fuckboy bc he exudes the energy.
you are kind of the complete opposite. you dont really enjoy parties and you keep to yourself. you're a total wreck when it comes to flirting and your kinda oblivious to whenever people like you. you dont have many friends and are a bigger fan of 2d people than 3d.
either way eren finds you so so so cute. he first approached you at one of his frat parties. your roommates convinced you to come after she said that someone (read: connie) had a dance dance revolution mat, but you kinda just stuck around in a corner staring at your cup once you lost them. he looks you up and down-- your outfit was pretty cute, a short plaid orange pleated skirt, dress shirt, orange cardigan and black beret laying neatly upon your head. and your face... he couldn't help himself but try to talk to you. you were really anxious because wahhh scary sports guy you dont know but he was kinda instantly comforting? in a way? and he was freaking pretty. he looked like a final fantasy character--long haired characters were your type. the rest was kind of history.
a lot of people are shocked when they find out your dating bc you two are so different (some people are surprise eren âdatesâ at all) but no one dares question your relationship when they see how much eren dotes on you. he has so many polaroids of you in his wallet-- from the many arcade dates you bring him on where you decimate him at almost every game, you awkwardly posing in the hentai section of bookstores, or just candids of you being intensely focused on a puzzle in a game. whenever you guys go out to eat and somethings wrong with your meal, he'll send it back (in a polite way, of course, but hes still assertive.) or if you buy like a figurine and its misisng something hes marching up to the cashier stand for you. he always has an arm around your waist or is holding is hand in yours. sometimes you just cling onto his arm and rest your head on it (hes comfy!!!!! and you are always tired) your both pretty clingy, but you get kinda awkward when you two are around people you know so he just kinda subtly holds you as to not make a scene. its nice. hes comfy.
youve got dual monitors, a pc you made yourself, rgb keyboard, the whole nine yards. all your consoles are up to date and you keep a handheld system on you at all times. you spend most your weekends watching anime and movies and tv shows and your shelves are piled high with books and comic books. eren literally does not understand any of it. when you told him you built your pc he goes "you made all those microchippy things? youre soooo smart babe". when you talk about some of your weirder or more complicated animes he nods along but honestly he gets so lost ("so like, lemme get this straight, the kids dad's wife ate his mom?" "yeah but like she was turned into a titan so she didn't realllllly know it was the dads wife, but like she literally walks past this titan shifter so i think she knew." "thats crazy.") and he will never understand the point of otome games when hes literally right there. he actually has a really bad habit of getting jealous of characters you have a crush on but you just find it funny. sometimes he gets an ego boost when they look like him because even if they look like him he is actually real so they can suck it.
hes rlly supportive tho. erens a rlly passionate person and he loves you a lot so he pours a lot of passion into what you do. if you are into esports/fps games hes cheers you on all the time and does all the raging for you ("BABE THAT GUY IS STREAM SNIPING! HES STREAM SNIPING YOU HEY ASSHOLE STOP CHEATING OFF MY GIRLFRIEND" "eren he cant stream snipe me because i dont stream" "oh i thought that just meant cheating"/"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL HER?" "eren its okay i can just report him" "NO NO LET ME AT HIM IF HE WANTS TO CALL YOU A BITCH I CAN CALL HIM MUCH WORSE" "um guys im gonna mute my mic for a second if you need me text chat") if youre into cozy games he likes to watch you play and gives you ideas on where to put things. like in minecraft he makes you put a second bed for him even though he doesnt play and he helps you name all your pets. you get a little less intense with cozy games so you sit on his lap and he lets his hair down puts his head on your shoulder and points at where you should place stuff. he still rages though? this is eren jaeger we are talking about. ("aw, she wont move to my island." "WHAT? who does that little ugly squirrel think she is? you think youre too good for MY y/n's island? i'll shave your unibrow off. then we'll see what island will want you" "leave hazel alone! shes cute!"/"dude that hamster guy with the glasses looks like armin" "graham? what? armin doesnt even wear glasses" "no no look at it more" "oh shit youre right") rpgs/otome games are kinda a wild card with how he acts. if its an otome game and the character looks like him he is more into helping you out because it reaffirms to him that you find him good looking but otherwise he is just sulking and calling them annoying ("princess y/n... i know im just a servant, but i want to be with you forever!" "pft. get a load of this guy. clingy much?" "its romantic! youre jealous.")
one of his favorite things to do with you is cuddle and watch anime. usually he lies his face on your thighs or chest while watching and you play with his hair or he holds you in his chest and you play with one of his hands while the other goes behind his head. he grew up on some of the classics like naruto sailor moon one piece pokemon and dbz but he never got super into it until he started dating you. you put him on to soooo many good shows (cartoons, anime, and live action) hes both a crier and he is a get-angrier(?). he gets mad on characters behalfs and you have to pause the show so he can rant about how annoying someone is or he feels so bad for someone so he has to take a minute because hes tearing up. he likes slice of life anime because the friendships <3 theyre so wholesome and they remind him of him armin and mikasa but he also likes shounen because it is entertaining to watch fights. he gets really into them actually. he also has this really bad habit of whenever there is a character with no parents or a dead mom he goes "oh same" or "welcome to the club buddy" under his breath. when theres a cute couple in an anime you both like guys get matching keychains of them unless one of them dies because he thinks its bad luck. his favorite animes are haikyuu, your lie in april and code geass.
you are equally supportive of erens volleyball career. you know all the rules because sports anime and you actually find yourself really liking it in 3d as well (it is lacking in bromance and screaming but you let it slide). you go to all his games and he always texts you before his practices. has a habit of kissing you before games and one day after he kisses you go "gg ez win" as a JOKE but then they like decimate their long time rival marley university and get into nationals (is that a thing for volleyball idk sports) so hes convinced its because you did your "gamer magic". now every time after getting his good luck kiss he interlocks your pinkies and you go "gg ez win" and he goes âyes.â because to this day he doesnt know what it means (he thinks googling it is like breaking the magic)
okay im gonna stop while im ahead BECAUSE I COULD TALK ABOUT THIS ALL DAY I MIGHT JUST GO AHEAD AND WRITE SOME ONESHOTS....

Reunited at Last (Rebels!Gregor x Jedi!Reader)
Rating: Pg & Sfw
Warnings: Slight angst, the rest is fluff! Gregor is older due to this taking place during Rebels. Y/n is used (but only 4 times!!)
Word Count: 2,090
Summary: You thought that Gregor has been dead for over 15 years, how will you react when he suddenly comes back into your life?
Note: For the past week I have only been daydreaming about Gregor, so I had to write something about him! I feel like I've read every fic on here about him whoops đ
You heard rumors of Gregor being alive, being found on Abafar and surviving an explosion from rhydonium barrels. There were mentions through different cantinas of commandos being gathered to work for the empire to continue training soldiers. Then it turned to rumors about how the clones were being phased out, how Kamino had been destroyed. It became too painful for you to bear.
It felt as if it was all a cruel joke being played on you, almost as if your past chose to haunt you until the end of your days. So you shut your emotions away. The once joyous person you were, full of life, was gone. You just went through the motions, trying to survive away from the hell of the Empire. That was, until you met the Ghost crew. They took you under their wing, and slowly helped you become who you used to be. You would never be completely the same, Gregor was a large part of you, but it was a start.
You couldnât stop the small amount of jealousy from coming over you whenever you saw Hera and Kanan interact. The lingering touches, the loving glances, everything they did reminded you of how you were with him. The strong commando that had found a soft spot for you, who would fight side by side with you, who always had your back.
Gregor was your other half, but he was gone. So even if you caught yourself longingly looking at what you wished you still had, you knew you had to go on. So you worked for the rebellion, using your Jedi knowledge to try and help as much as you could. You couldnât go out as Kanan could, you were too recognizable from the days you served with the Republic. So you were home base, staying back as the Ghost went out on missions. It was nice to hear the tales of what happened, and when Kanan found a new Padawan, it gave you a chance to practice with your saber again. Life was beginning to feel a little more normal.
As the search for a new rebel base started, you were put to work. They had you searching through countless manifests and artifacts, trying to find something that could be used. You were constantly on your datapad, scouring, searching for anything. But it was to no avail, you just didnât have the resources to find what was needed. That was until Fulcrum came along.
You werenât told much, but as the Ghost flew away, you had confidence that something would come out of it. It had been weeks, going on a month as you waited for a comm telling you if a new base had been found. So you kept yourself busy. Lightsaber training, studying, working out, meditation, anything to keep your mind from drifting.
It was midday during saber training when you felt your wrist buzz, and you quickly tapped on your comm, it fizzing to life.
âY/n, come to the hangar, I think you want to see this.â You heard Heraâs voice crackle out, and you couldnât help the confusion falling onto your face. The mission was to find a base, why would there be something to see in the hangar? Your mind was scouring the possibilities, trying to figure out what in the maker's name Hera could be talking about.
âIâm on my way Hera, Iâll be there in a few. Can I ask what you are going to show me?â You let out as you clipped your lightsaber to your belt, adjusting your outfit as you started to walk to the hangar.
âItâs better as a surprise, you better hurry!â You heard Hera click off the comm, and you shook your head. The walk seemed longer than normal, your curiosity consuming your brain as you quickened your step.
The doors to the hangar slid open, you carefully stepping through as you spotted Hera coming down the ramp of the Ghost. She gave you a small wave, walking towards you with a pleased smile on her face.
âI take it you found a base?â You let out as she got closer. Heraâs smile faltered, but she rested her hand on your shoulder.
âNot exactly, but we did find some people who have information to help us find one.â You couldnât help but tilt your head in confusion, raising an eyebrow. Hera laughed at this, her squeezing your shoulder before letting go. âThe rest of the crew is meeting with Commander Sato, along with the informants. Iâm going to be heading there, but I want you to stay here ok?â
âIâm not needed at the meeting? Is there something wrong with the ship that needs to be fixed?â You couldnât stop yourself from asking questions. This whole exchange was just, strange, that was the only way you could put it. Hera shook her head, a smile crawling onto her face.
âI need you to meet with one of the informants one on one, heâll be leaving the meeting early to reconvene with you. Trust me,â There was a look in Heraâs eyes that you couldnât place, and you couldnât help but nod. She gave you one last smile before leaving the hangar, the door sliding shut behind her.
You climbed onto one of the many crates in the hangar, your legs dangling off the side of it. You were going over Heraâs words, trying to get a sense of what is even happening. You ended up closing your eyes, slipping into a light meditation. It was some time before you heard a door slide open across from where you were, hearing footsteps move into the room before stopping.
âY/n?â Your body stiffened, eyes opening wide as you stared at the figure from across the hangar. That was the voice of those you had worked beside during the Clone Wars. The voice of those who had turned against the Republic, who killed countless of your friends. But the clone's voice was soft, and it almost sounded like- but it couldnât be, he had died, thereâs no way it was him.
You jumped down from the crate, your hand on your saber as you cautiously made your way towards the clone. You were still too far away to see his eyes, but as you moved closer you had to stop tears from filling your eyes. He saw your hand on your lightsaber, and he put his hands out. He was dressed in a tank top, with a logo that you had never seen before.
âY/n, cyare, it's me, it's Gregor! Itâs been a long time hasnât it?â He let out a little giggle, yet his face was completely serious. You couldnât help your hands from shaking.
âThat canât, that isnât possible! Gregor died, how could he be here?â The tears slipped from your eyes, and you came to a stop right in front of him. Gregor reached out to you, hesitating, before bringing his hand down. You could see his eyes tearing up, and you couldnât help but have deja vu to the evenings after long missions, missions filled with high fatality rates. He may be a commando, but he was still human, and he had trusted you to see the emotional side of him.
âI survived y/n.â There was so much about him that was different, but he was the same. You knew it was him, but you couldn't help but deny it.
But why was Hera determined to get you to stay behind at the hangar? She was the only one you confided in about Gregor, she knew how much he meant to you. Hera had seen pictures of him, she had heard how you described him. The doubt in your mind was slowly shrinking, the barriers falling down. You could feel in the force his energy, Gregor's energy, something you never thought that you would feel again.
Gregor's voice was different, and so were some of his mannerisms, but his eyes were the same, his smile was the same. It was your Gregor, who you could tell has gone through a lot since you both separated over 15 years ago.
15 years, the realization hit you like a ton of bricks. You felt your body shaking, legs giving out underneath you as it clicked in your brain that Gregor was alive. You felt his arms grab you quickly, wrapping around you as he slowly lowered both of you to the ground. The hug was softer, yet still had the same feel as it did all that time ago.
âGregor, itâs you, makers above itâs really you,â You mumbled into his shoulder, and you felt his arms tighten around you. Gregorâs chest rumbled as a few stray giggles fell from his chest, his chin resting on the top of your head.
You slowly moved your arms around him, finally returning the hug that Gregor had you in. You felt his body relax slightly, holding you there.
âI have so many stories my sunshine, you couldnât believe the things that have happened! I survived two explosions-â Gregor started to go over all the events that you had missed, you curling against his body to rest the side of your head against his chest. He had one arm wrapped around your back, his other moving around as he talked. You ended up shifting your arms so that you could hold onto your legs, eyes focused on his face as you looked over every detail on his weathered skin. He looked so different, yet he was the same.
âI had lost my memory until a squad of droids, ha can you even believe that?, managed to stir up all my memories by showing me a holo of Rex! Cyare you couldnât imagine my panic, the first thing I thought of was of you. I just, I wasnât able to get back because I was knocked out by an explosion,â You felt him move his arm to rub the back of his neck, looking away sheepishly. âItâs kinda how I became the way I am now ya know?â
Reaching up with your hand, you let it hover a few centimeters from his face, looking for his reaction. Gregor leaned against it, his eyes on you with a large grin plastered on his face.
âI never stopped looking for you, even after the Republic fell, I kept searching. I was sent to train storm troopers as a commando again, I thought it would be my chance to find you. It was a dead end, and I was forced to stop,â Gregor let out a little giggle, âBut youâre here now, Iâve found you.â You could see his eyes watering, and you lightly swept your thumb against his cheek. His eyes closed from the motion, relaxing into your embrace.
âI became a Rebel fighter.â You let out, a small smile falling onto your face. âI canât go out, but I sure can type battle reports much better than I have before.â Gregor let out a laugh, one that reminded you of the laugh that would come out after the two of you drank a little too much at 79âs. You couldnât help the small laugh that fell from your lips, tilting your head forward to lean your head against his.
Silence fell over the two of you, Gregor looking as though he was searching for words that he couldnât find. After a few moments, he pulled back, creating space between the both of you. Immediately you realized how much colder it was without being in his arms, and it took all your willpower to not let out a whine of protest. He stood up, holding out his hand to pull you up. You quickly grabbed it, him lifting you but not letting go. You looked into his eyes, and you could just feel the anxiety radiating from him.
âMy sunshine, do you.. Do you still love me? I know it's been many years and Iâm a lot older now, plus Iâve been told by Wolffe a few times that I have a few screws-â You cut him off with a kiss, Gregor's eyes widening into a shocked expression as you pull away.
âI will always love you, forever and always, no matter what.â A large smile broke over Gregorâs face, lifting you into a spinning hug. You both couldnât contain your laughter, grateful to be reunited with someone you both never thought would ever see again.

A/N: Welcome to the first instalment of the Hogwarts for @homeofbangtan collab!
I want to thank everyone in the collab for being amazing and patient and incredibly lovely! @mochi-molala for being the catalyst of this fic, @min-yoon-kween for being an amazing support and beta reader and @ttaetae for this amazing banner. @delacyrose224 @alpacaparkaseok @joheunsaram @sunshinejunghoseokie @ggukcangetit for being an amazing squad!
Copyrights @joyfulhopelox
As always please leave feedback and/or talk to me as i love to hear from you! Enjoy <3
Who would have thought you would end up here? Knees bruised on the cold wet tiles, bent over, heartbroken and desperate. If at the beginning of the year someone would have said youâd be in this position, you wouldâve laughed at them. But there you were, on your knees, watching helplessly, as the person that had become your everything suffering on the wet bathroom floor. The mournful sobs wrecking his body echoed through you, rendering you speechless. If it werenât for the fact that it was Yoongiâs sobs you were witnessing, you wouldâve thought it was Moaning Myrtle doing her usual rounds in the bathroom.
You willed yourself to move. The sound of your robes trailing through the murky water were muffled by the anguished cries and heart wrenching sobs. You felt powerless and it scared you. The feeling gripped at your heart tighter and tighter until you felt like you could not breathe.
How ironic is it, you thought, that when you first met him you were in the exact same position that he was in now. Yet, at the time, he knew exactly what to tell you, as if youâd been friends for a long time. This trait he possessed; the ability to read someone so well and yet be so detached from everyone, had made him popular in your year.
Everyone liked Yoongi, his aloof personality a complete contrast from his soft looks. With his coal black hair and pale white skin a contradiction to his soft lips and plump cheeks, it was hard to not be intrigued by him. Yet, for some reason you chose to keep him at an armâs length. He became your cousinâs friend quite quickly. It was Parkâs gift; having the ability to make friends and break hearts left and right. However, being the rising star of the Slytherin house, he made enemies just as quickly. But the relationship between him and Yoongi developed so quickly, you didnât even see it coming. One day Jimin was loitering around the corridors being his dramatic self with only Taehyung to keep him in check. Next you run into him and Taehyung and Yoongi. They were whispering secretively to each other and you couldnât pass up on the opportunity to intervene.
âOi, Cocky Park, why are you acting like a bunch of gossip girls?â you shouted at him across the corridor. The three of them jumped apart in surprise and glanced at you, each face looking similar to a kidâs having been caught with his hands in the cookie jar. Satisfied at the reaction you got, you sauntered over to them.
âSo, whatâs the deal?â your grin intensified when Jiminâs flustered face morphed into an annoyed one. It meant you had done your job. You were cousins on your fatherâs side, but in reality you acted more like siblings. You grew up together, always around each other, your father and his attending meetings together. So of course in true sibling fashion, it was necessary to rile up the other.
Taehyung glanced at the both of you, knowing that if he did not intervene there would be bloodshed. âHey, Y/N, uhhhh, we were just talkingâ he tried to distract you from the situation at hand. You tapped your foot impatiently, an eyebrow raised unimpressed and urged him to continue. âAbout what?â
Before Taehyung could say anything, Jimin stepped up, âNothing that concerns you lesser Park, so run along to your cliqueâ he smirks at you, his hand gesture dismissing you. You huff in annoyance.
âCocky Park!â You warn glaring at him stepping closer to his frame. He was by no means tall, only a few inches taller than you, and you liked to remind him of that every single day knowing that it drove him up the wall. âIâll tell mother about that one time you set the family portrait on fire just because-â Jimin instantly covered your mouth, not wanting to be exposed in front of his friends like that.
âOk ok ok, enough,â He pleaded, your laugh muffled and your eyes displaying the satisfaction you felt at his distress. You had won this battle and you savoured every moment of it. âTake a chill pill J-Park.â Noticing the third person next to the double trouble of the Slytherin house you paused. âOh, new friends?â You pointed towards the silent man behind them. During the whole interaction between the three of you he hadnât said anything, his dark eyes meticulously observing the scene before him.
You decided it was rude of you to not introduce yourself. You may have a loud personality and be opinionated to the point of aggression sometimes but you couldnât forget the etiquette that your parents instilled in you. Especially in front of a fellow Slytherin, so with a confident grin you stepped around the two clowns of the house and extended your hand out.
âIâm Y/N.â The stranger looked wearily at your hand before hesitantly extending his. You donât wait for his hand to reach yours, grabbing it mid rise and waiting for him to tell you his name. Only for a drawn out silence to ensue. You give his cold hand a small encouraging squeeze, urging him to say something. Noticing the shift in atmosphere Jimin stepped up next to you grabbing your forearm.
âY/N, Yoongi. Yoongi, Y/Nâ he quickly said whilst pulling your hand away from the hold. You eye your cousin suspiciously but decide to not say anything. Instead you look at Yoongi and offer him what you hope is a friendly smile. â Nice to meet you Yoongi. Well I have to go back now, I have practiceâ you turn on your heels prepared to leave. But before you could rush off you stop abruptly as if youâve remembered something. Turning back, you point to Yoongiâs hands, making the boy take a small step back at your abruptness. âMake sure to wear gloves Yoongi, it may still be autumn but the castle is cold and your hands are freezing.â With a wink you then turn your attention towards Jimin, pointing threateningly at him.
âAnd you, you better not be late for practice, Outdated Park. We canât afford to lose in front of Jeon again so get your ass on the pitch on time or I'll tell Sunny about your massive-â Jiminâs cheeks turned red instantly and he almost shoves you down the corridor desperate to not let you finish that sentence.
âI get it, now move your troublesome ass out of here,â he pleaded. Laughing you wave at the three of them one more time before you rush down the corridor to meet up with the rest of the Quidditch team.
That was the first time you saw Yoongi, not as tragic as the second time; where he stumbled upon you in a dimly lit corridor. You took refuge there after receiving an unsettling letter from your parents. Said letter, now suspiciously damp, dangled from your hands when he found you. Even though your face showed no sign of distress, if there was someone who could read emotions well it wouldâve been apparent. Yoongi was that someone.
He approached you silently, cautiously. As if he was afraid his presence would set off the feelings you were trying so hard to suppress. He observed your blank face for a second, his face not giving away any of his thoughts. You knew he was there and yet, you did not move. You couldnât, the fear and pain gripping at your heart making you immobile. The letter you had just read replayed in your mind constantly.
âOur daughter,
As this year happens to be the last year of your studies, we have decided that it is time for us to think about your future. Your father and I have decided that once you have finished your exams you shall be coming back home to Murkwood Manor where you will be spending the summer attending galas thrown by esteemed families. We are pleased to have come to the conclusion that for your sake and progress into the pureblood society, a convenient marriage is the best option and what better place to find such connections than there?
We hope that you can see how much we are thinking about you and understand our worries about your future.
Your everloving parents.â
You tried to forget the words staining the white paper, but it proved to be difficult. You knew the day would come, you and Jimin having been primed for this since you were children. Unlike Jimin, who would have more freedom of choice as he was to inherit his parentsâ manor, you were doomed to enter an arranged marriage. As a pureblood it had always been your duty. Before you understood what that meant, as a romantic, you used to be excited at that prospect. Your brain came up with scenarios similar to ones in books about wizards in arranged marriages and living happily ever after.
Once you grew up, the excitement morphed into apprehension. The prospect of being tied to someone you did not willingly choose was daunting. To receive a letter informing you of your imminent fate crushed you.
Yoongi let out a soft breath, the sound loud enough to break the silence between the two of you. You knew you had to acknowledge him and yet, you could not bring yourself to. You barely knew each other, but as soon as he crouched next to your slumped form, a hesitant hand reaching out for yours the dam broke. You didnât know or care if his touch was the push you needed or if the tumultuous feelings running through you became too much. You let yourself weep, not caring about the man tightening his grip on your hand witnessing it.
Normally your motherâs voice would be ringing in your head, telling you that your behaviour was unladylike, that someone of your status should not act like this. But the cold touch enveloping your trembling hand offered you the comfort you needed to let go.
Though only a few minutes had passed they felt like an eternity to you, your violent sobs dissolving into sniffles, too tired to carry on. Unknowingly, your hand sought out the reassurance of Yoongiâs hand, your fingers now intertwined. He let you cry it out, not saying a word, but his mind was running at a hundred miles an hour. Had he not been an expert at hiding his feelings, you would have been able to see the sadness he felt displayed across his face. He could not fathom why you would be sitting on the stone cold ground, knees drawn to your chest, shivering and looking so...broken.
When your sniffles ceased you looked up at him, your face red and blotchy from crying. He didnât ask, his understanding eyes only watched you as you tried to gather your thoughts. He didnât ask and yet, you couldnât help but tell him. Tell him of the fate that waited for you once you graduated. There was something about the way he looked at you, a comfort you found in his gentle gaze that you couldnât help yourself. Hiccuping you let it all spill out, his grasp on your hands becoming your strength to carry on.
âYour parents donât define who you are, you define who you are. Whatever you are feeling, going through and your future, your parents will not be with you forever. And if you spend most of your time pleasing them, when they are gone you will start resenting everything that you have become.â
With that Yoongi wordlessy let go of your hand and slipped out of the bathroom leaving you with a tear stained grubby face slumped on the bathroom floor.
For a few days after that you tried avoiding Yoongi like the plague. Too embarrassed at your outburst you found yourself leaving the Great Hall when he would enter, turning your head the other way when you happened to make eye contact in class and avoiding any conversation that brought him up. If anyone noticed your odd behaviour towards him they did not say a word. He didnât try to approach you, and no one in your House mentioned anything about it, and so after that first week you relaxed. Your cousin, however, did notice and when he tried to approach you about it you dismissed it as not having enough free time with the Quidditch game around the corner.
âY/N, you do know I am on the same team as you right?â Jiminâs use of your full name indicated he was serious about the conversation. Sighing your shoulders slumped, you were feeling tired of hiding around. After letting it all out in front of Yoongi, it felt like all your body wanted to do was shout out to the world how exhausted you were of being a member of a pureblood family. No one would understand you better than Jimin would.
âIâm just tired, Chim.â Jimin faltered, his seriousness melted into worry at the sound of your voice. You sounded meek, the exhaustion clear on your face. Jimin was never one for emotional display, but he was your cousin, he was your family, he was like your brother. He offered you the comfort that you sought, placing his arms around you. You didnât wait for him to speak, the unasked question hanging above you like the ghosts roaming around the castle.
âIâm getting married.â At your words you felt Jimin stiffen. He knew what you were talking about, it was a long tradition in pureblood families. Arranged marriages were not uncommon, if only to keep the bloodline pure; so it was only a matter of time before this happened to you as well. He was lucky, as the male of the family, he had more freedom than you but that also didnât mean he could marry just anyone. âWho?â Was all he asked and you took a moment to recollect yourself, wondering if the mention of the rival School in the tournament would be a bad idea. âWho, Y/N?â
You stepped away from him, your eyes glossy with unshed tears. âSomeone from Beauxbatons. I donât even know his face. Just his name. And I am supposed to live the rest of my life with this person.â You felt the tears gather in your eyes but you knew you couldnât cry. Even if it was just Jimin, the rest of the courtyard was completely void of students, your pride stopped you from letting all your emotions flow. Yoongi caught you at your most vulnerable and since that day you swore to yourself you would never let it happen again. If anyone were to witness it and your parents to get wind of it, you would be reprimanded, possibly even punished.
Jimin felt the shift in you, your vulnerable demeanour instantly covered up by a cold emotionless wall. He tried to say something, anything to prevent that shift but he couldnât bring himself to. He understood why you would do that; as a pureblood the expectation to be impeccable was high, and the slightest slip would end in punishment. Not wanting to push you towards an emotional breakdown he did what he normally did best and distracted you from your misery. Gripping your shoulders he smirked at you, âcome on Park 2.0, we need to get on that pitch today and win.â
The sight of the Quidditch pitch along with your peers cheering and chanting, instantly calmed you. This was your home, on your broom, ready to kick some ass. Today was the game against the Gryffindor team and the contrast between the green of your House and the red of Gryffindor House formed an enchanting colour palette. The Team Captain was yelling instructions left and right, discussing the strategy once more but you didnât care. All you wanted was to be up in the air and hit a few Bludgeons to vent your frustrations out. As soon as your Team is given the go ahead you kick off onto your broom. The feel of the air brushing your face and the sound of your teammates yelling encouragement to each other giving you the adrenaline that you needed to get your head in the game.
The chants fuelled you, dodging a Bludger here, slamming your bat into it, sending it into the direction of a chaser, your head never left the game. The dynamics of the group, the teamwork, they all made you proud to be part of the team. From time to time, your eyes would wander towards the bleachers, taking in the crowd. Your fellow Slytherins were cheering as loudly as they could, chanting everyoneâs name. You rolled your eyes, of course the loudest yells would come from the Gryffindor side. Kim Seokjin and Jeon Jungkook were favourites and so, their names would be on every lionâs lips. A quick break from the referee allowed you to catch your breath, high fiving with your fellow beater. You were crushing this. Taking in a deep gulp of air to calm down your heartbeat you scanned the crowd once again, only to make eye contact with a dark haired Slytherin who seemed to be watching you intently. You smiled hesitantly, confused at his presence, Yoongi had never been the one to watch the Quidditch games, but his presence gave you confidence that everything would be alright.
The game wasnât going in your favour, Gryffindor had a good chance at winning, everyone on the edge of their seats for the end of the match. Suddenly you saw Jimin and Jungkook diving towards the ground, neck to neck and you knew that they'd spotted the Snitch. Breath caught in your throat, everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Jimin turns at the last minute, rising back up leaving Jungkook behind. In his hand he held the Snitch. The triumphant yell of the crowd switches from the Slytherin crowd towards the Gryffindor team and you lower your head dejected. Jimin may have caught the Snitch, but Gryffindor House had already won enough points to win the game without it. Sighing you turned towards your team, their hopelessness could be felt throughout the pitch. It wasnât their fault, theyâd played a good game, so in an attempt to cheer them up you started clapping. Soon, the crowd all caught onto what you were doing and joined in and quickly, what could have turned into a disastrous end for the team morale ended up quite the opposite. You turned yourself towards the crowd, the smile on your face widening at the sight of your fellow Slytherins cheering for you. In that moment you swore you didnât look through the crowd for a particular person, but your eyes found his and your grin widened. Yoongi was clapping along with everyone else, his reassuring gaze never leaving yours. Suddenly you didnât feel like you lost anymore, instead, you felt like a winner.
Under normal circumstances, the days after the game were the hardest to endure. This time however, the atmosphere felt lighter than even before the match. After the game ended and the team went back to change out of their uniform, your Team Captain held a speech about pride and defeat. That, along with the cheers from the crowd, lessened the sting of the loss and you promised yourselves that you will do better for the next one. However, classes and your professors waited for no one. With only a few weeks left until Christmas break the number of assignments kept rising, and the pressure of your N.E.W.Ts looming above your head forced you to spend every possible waking moment inside the library, your head stuck in a book. Despite being a Slytherin and not a Ravenclaw, you did enjoy studying. You were never alone whilst in there, especially now that Jimin and that Hufflepuff were spending more and more time in the library together. You got first hand experience of their budding relationship. Both of them being very much interested, yet both of them being very much oblivious.
It was during one of those days in the library when Yoongi approached you. The library was already full with students trying to cram a last minute essay. You were no better, your Potions essay due that afternoon, you tried to get as much done as possible. Writing about the properties of Amortentia was not a pleasant experience. Scribbling furiously, you bit your lip in concentration, not even noticing the silent dark haired man that sat down in front of you.
âYouâre going to break your quill if you carry on writing like that.â His remark made you jump out of your skin, dropping your quill to the ground and knocking your ink over the sides of the table in the process. âAh, shit.â You muttered as you tried to blot your parchment with your robes. Yoongi jumped out of the seat, hurrying to help you salvage your work, muttering his apologies to you incessantly. âItâs okay, no problem.â You smiled at him, you were not really upset, you knew your essay could be done better and maybe a restart is what you needed. âYou actually did me a favour.â Confused, Yoongi glanced at your paper. âIsnât it due today?â He motioned towards how much youâve written, âand that looks like a lot of research to me.â Waving him off you sat back down and got out another piece of parchment.
âIt wasnât that good to begin with. Potions is not my strongest suit so I could probably do with rewriting it. Thereâs only so much, âand boom they fall in loveâ that you can describe.â You laughed at Yoongiâs expression. He looked offended at your statement, and you took the time to admire his expressions. Never one to express too many feelings, at least not in your presence, it felt like a breath of fresh air. You couldnât help but wonder what caused the change in behaviour. âWait, a Slytherin, not good at Potions?â He mock gasped at you and you laughed. He looked a lot younger, freer this way and you couldnât help but take in this carefree Yoongi. As you stared at the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled; his wide grin making his round cheeks puff out, you felt your heart speed up, and butterflies start fluttering in your stomach. âI know right?!â You carried on with his joke, not wanting this lighthearted atmosphere to end. âAppalling.â He nodded trying to look serious. You tried to hold in your laugh but when your eyes met, you couldnât stop yourselves and burst out laughing.
âShhhhhh.â The angry librarian loomed over the both of you and you bowed your heads in apology still trying to stifle your laughter. âWell, that is that⊠now you know my darkest secret.â So absorbed in getting your books together, you didnât notice the way Yoongi stiffened. âI am bad at Potions, and itâs my final year and there is no way I can do anything about it now.â When you carried on, Yoongi relaxed a small smile thrown into your direction. âWouldâŠ.you donât have to, but would you like some help? I may not be the bestâŠ.â You perked up instantly as soon as he said that, not even letting him finish you quickly grabbed his hand and nodded. âNonsense. You are one of the best in our year!â You noticed the slight redness that crept up Yoongiâs cheeks and you smirked. âAnd I heard that you are going to be interning for the Auror Office at the end of school! I would be honoured if you helped me!â Sensing his hesitation, you paused for a second, trying to think of a way to make him feel more comfortable about it when an idea suddenly hit you. âHow about an exchange?â You looked at him hopefully, his eyes roaming over your face trying to understand what you were proposing. âAs in, is there anything that you may need help with?â You clarified and Yoongi nodded, finally understanding what you meant. He didnât reply for a while and you started to get uncomfortable under his gaze. Shifting uneasily in your seat you cleared your throat, âof course, you donât have to, I just thought it may make things a lot fairer if-â
âDefenceâ Yoongi interrupted abruptly. You stared at him for a second before your baffled expression turned into a smile. âDeal.â You took the deal, even though you knew very well that Yoongi was more than good at the subject, having managed to be one of the few people who could produce a Patronus in class. Deciding not to mention having observed his wispy Weasel Patronus almost starting to attack your Serpent one, you nodded at him extending your hand to seal the deal. Startled, Yoongi took a glance at your hand before hesitantly grabbing it. His warm hand enveloped yours and you gripped it, immediately finding comfort in his warm grip. Staring at each other for a second, the silence that settled over you wasnât uncomfortable. There was a remnant of something that felt overlooked, as if there was something left unsaid between the two of you. Yoongi opened his mouth and your breath caught in your throat.
âOi, Park!â Your cousinâs voice broke the comfortable bubble that you and Yoongi were in and you immediately dropped your hand on the table, pretending nothing had happened. You knew Jimin, and you knew he would not let you live it down if he noticed the position you and his friend were in. You schooled your face in a sneer and turned towards your obnoxious family member. âWhat Outdated Park?â You sneered at him, annoyed, then settled your eyes on the person hiding behind him. Sunny looked uncomfortable, so to ease the tension you smiled at her. It wasnât that you didnât like her, yet, you would not go out of your way to get to know her. âAre you ready for the Yule Ball?â Jimin airly said, dropping his arm over Sunnyâs shoulder in such a casual way you could tell it was something he did often. At the thought of the Yule Ball, your mood instantly soured. Jimin knew there was no way you were excited about it, you glanced at Yoongi, who was doing his best to look at anyone but you. âUhm, yeah, I guess.â You shrugged, the disappointment in our voice quite obvious.Yoongi chanced a glance at you, and you smiled sadly at him. âWe will have to wait and see.â You broke eye contact, turning around to look back at Jimin, whose sympathetic eyes took in the interaction between you and his friend.
Yoongi felt his heart drop and his hand twitched. The sadness that he could read in your eyes made him want to grab your hand again, to reassure you, yet he stopped himself. He was nothing for you, and he could never be something. He would just stay as a friend and tutor, even though all he wanted to do was ask you to be his partner for the dance.
Staring at yourself in the mirror you took a deep breath in, your hands twitched at your sides. You were trying hard to not wipe them on your ball gown, your parents would kill you if you appeared less than perfect in front of anyone. Yoongiâs words rang loud and clear in your head. Refusing to acknowledge the truth of his statement you focused on your appearance once again. Tonight, you would be meeting your fiance officially - the thought as appealing as that one time you fell off the broom during the match against the Gryffindor team. You threw one more glance at yourself in the mirror before you acknowledged your friends calling your name.
âComing! Wands out your asses.â You walk out of the dormitory into the Common Room. The dark atmosphere broken by the languid emerald flames coming from the fireplace, enhancing your satin dress. The lights caught in the folds of it giving it the fluidity of a crystal clear lake, the silver diamond like colour reflecting the green sheen cast around the room.
âY/N, you have outdone yourself. Your partner is extremely lucky.â Your heart sped up at the thought of having to face your supposed arranged marriage partner. After you received your letter and had your emotional slip-up, youâd pushed the thought of your future fiance to the back of your brain. However, what you hadnât realised was that with the Tournament happening at Hogwarts this year, you were going to meet your future husband sooner than intended. A pureblood from Beauxbatons; he was amongst the students chosen to be part of the visiting party. So, it didnât surprise you when one afternoon, during your study session with your friends, he approached you. After he introduced himself, he immediately asked you to be his partner for the Yule Ball. No one else had dared to ask you to the Ball. Mouth agape you struggled to respond to him, knowing full well you couldnât refuse, when you spotted Jimin and Yoongi making their way towards you.
âHey Annoying Park.â Jimin greeted you, but at the sight of your discombobulated expression his face darkened, and he glanced between you and the Beauxbatons guy. âWho are you?â He narrows his eyes at the stranger and you wouldâve laughed at his crassness if not for the conflicted feelings coursing through you. A small cough behind Jimin caught your attention and your eyes made contact with Yoongiâs. He shifted under your gaze as if uncomfortable and a sudden rush of embarrassment came over you. There was no reason to be ashamed of the situation you were in. Your future fiance had asked you to a ball, it was a perfectly normal situation. Nonetheless, the thought of Yoongi witnessing it made you squirm.
The tension was so thick you felt as if you were trapped in the darkness of the Forbidden Forest. The Beauxbatons student took a step forwards, placing himself in front of you in a protective manner. âLuc Millefeuille the Third.â He announced proudly, puffing his chest. Yoongi stiffened drastically at the name. He had heard it before, in newspapers. His great grandfather, the famous patissiere, was known for the serial mass poisoning of a group of muggles. The thought of you being chained to such a name made his skin crawl. If Jimin recognised the name he didnât show it, instead he eyed the male with a steel gaze. âNice to meet you.â Glancing at you he motioned with his head. âRed, we have practice to go to.â Taking the chance to get out of the situation you mumbled a goodbye to Luc before you hurried after Jimin.
In the end, Luc cornered you once more and you had no choice but to agree. Your parents were bound to have some harsh words for you if they found out you refused him. You knew of the family name, Jimin had made you aware of it. Despite your inherited indifference towards muggles, the thought of mass murder disgusted you. You didnât know what your parents were planning and you couldnât find out as your letters home had not been replied to.
âY/N, are you ready?â You snapped out of your reverie. Turning to look at your friends, your smile grim, you nodded at them. âYes, I guess so.â Patting your skirts once more you prepared to exit the dungeons just as the entrance opened, revealing a dashing Yoongi dressed in black robes, with a dark green sash around his torso. You faltered as you made eye contact with him, his eyes trailed down your form, darkening to the colour of tar. You felt yourself flush under his gaze, a slight tingle underneath your skin making you shift in discomfort. You couldnât break eye contact with him even as your friends greeted him, his shocked gaze keeping you in place. âY/N.â He whispered, taking a step towards you, youâre prepared to reach out to him when your sight is cut off by the abrupt entrance of the blonde Frenchman who barged past Yoongi.
âY/N. You look delicious.â He smirked at you and you had to fight the urge to grimace. Grabbing your hand forcefully he doesnât even acknowledge Yoongi as he dragged you out of the Common Room. Having to pick up your pace so that you didnât trip over your dress, you looked back, your desperate eyes making contact with Yoongiâs dark ones once more. However, heâs gone from your sight the next second as Luc turned the corner.
Not being part of the Champions, the two of you had to wait near the entrance to the Great Hall, so you took your time observing the Christmas decorations that littered the gradious hall. The theme was a dark blue, with stars sparkling above your heads bathing the dance floor in an ethereal glow. You spotted Jimin and Sunny waiting to the side for the signal to start the dance. You could tell she was nervous by the way she gripped at Jiminâs robes, whispering animatedly in his ear. You laughed to yourself, you didnât know her very well and you werenât her biggest fan per se, but their relationship was adorable. Both of them were so oblivious to the other it was almost endearing if not borderline annoying.
Lucâs grip on you hasnât softened since you entered the Grand Hall, it was starting to make you feel uncomfortable. You stepped to the side as you tried to get him to loosen his hold on you. When you were unsuccessful, you stomped your foot near his. âLet go.â You warned him through gritted teeth. Not only did he ignore you, but he tightened his grip on your arm as he dragged you forwards towards the rink. You didnât even notice that the Champions had finished with their first dance, and now it was open to everyone to join in. You knew youâd regret it later, as you missed the opportunity to witness your cousinâs marvelous dancing with his clumsy partner, but you had more pressing matters to sort out. Your partner pulled you onto the dance floor and with a sneer he glanced at you, âI hope you know how to dance, I donât want to be embarrassed.â You bit back a remark, you knew you couldnât cause a scene in the middle of so many people, no matter how loud you normally were. Instead of answering you tighten your grip on his shoulder, your eyes coldly staring past him.
As you glided in a waltz across the floor you took your time scanning the room, taking in all the couples, the decorations and most importantly, your eyes were searching for the sole person you wanted to see that night. You spotted him in a corner near a table, his eyes already on you. The intensity with which he was watching you made a shiver run down your spine. This time, it didnât feel uncomfortable, on the contrary Yoongiâs gaze on you felt reassuring. The whole dance you kept your gazes locked on each other, Yoongi not even glancing away as his partner got pulled from him for a dance. Even though you were apart, and you were dancing with the man meant to be your husband, it felt like it was just you and Yoongi in the room.
You stepped away from Luc as soon as the dance ended. Muttering an excuse about needing refreshments you fought the urge to gag when instead of offering to get them for you, he burdened you with his own refreshments. Taking any excuse that you could to get away from him you nodded and hurriedly made your way towards the tables where Jimin greeted you.
âYou couldâve done worse.â His mocking tone irked you and you resisted the urge to kick him in the shin. Instead you angrily grabbed a glass of mead and downed half of it in one go. âWoah there, slow down.â Jimin backed away from you. âIf you tell me itâs unladylike Park, I swear on Peeveâs dung bombs you and Sunny will not have any children.â You grumbled under your breath at him, not caring that said girl was also next to him, both their faces now beet red. âI am close to murdering him.â You sighed, the drink and reprieve you had from your French fiancee finally calming you down. âOh Merlinâs beard, here he comes.â You spotted Luc making his way through the crowd with a pompous stride, heading straight towards you. Grabbing Jimin by his robes in a desperate attempt to hide, you didnât notice the other man that reached you before your fiance could. With a yelp, you stumbled straight into Yoongiâs chest, his hands wrapping around your waist in an attempt to steady you. âYouâre good.â He whispered in your ear. Your stomach clenched at his low voice and his breath hitting the sensitive shell of your ear. Mumbling a thanks you stepped away from him, your eyes never leaving his. You could feel your heart speeding up and you had to resist the urge to grab onto him for support once more.
âY/N, where are the drinks?â Lucâs voice broke you out of your daze, and you turned away from Yoongi to face him. âI- uh- forgot.â You mumbled causing the Frenchman to scoff at you, a look of pure disgust on his face. âI canât believe my wife is this stupid.â He spat at you. You could feel your blood boiling in anger, but before you could reply Jimin stepped in front of you. âShe is not your wife and she is definitely not stupid.â You could hear the anger in his voice. Luc sized him up, knowing that he couldnât have an argument with the head of the Park family, that would ruin any chances. Instead he sneered at your cousin whilst grabbing your arm tightly. âCome on.â He glared at you, but having had enough you stood your ground trying to pry your arm out of his grip. âLet me go.â You said through gritted teeth, you were close to hexing his ass and no one would have been able to stop you. Pulling at you roughly once more trying to get you away from your friends, he suddenly tripped over his robes. You yelped feeling yourself start to fall down along with him, when a hand grabbed you and pulled you towards a familiar chest. In the corner of your eyes you noticed a wand being placed back into the black robes that Yoongi was wearing.
âWhat happened?â Luc looked around confused, picking himself off the floor and you realised straight away what Yoongi had done. âYour robeâs dirty.â Yoongi pointed out with a monotonous voice, and you fought back a laugh. You could see the change in Lucâs eyes, the anger making him explode. With a flurry of curses thrown around in French, he stormed out of the Great Hall. You stared after him in silence for a second before you couldnât help it anymore and you burst out laughing. âOh, wow. Who would have thought?â Jimin finally calmed down enough to speak. âNow if youâd excuse us, Sunny needs to polish her dancing skills.â Saying that he grabbed said girl by the arm and led her towards the dance floor. Still chuckling to yourself you turned towards Yoongi, a sparkle in your eyes that made his heart burst with warmth.
âConfundus eh? Thank you. I donât know how to repay you for that.â You smiled kindly at him, waiting for a response. But when he silently extended his hand towards you, all you felt was the blood rushing to your head, making you dizzy. âYou could dance with me.â His tone was calm, not once giving away the nervousness that he felt beneath his skin. You didnât even hesitate, you placed your hands in his. He led you towards the dance floor, wrapping his arm around your waist, whilst you daintily placed your hand on his shoulder. As you slowly started to glide along the dancefloor between the couples, your eyes locked onto his. The charmed stars twinkling above you, your heart fluttered in hope.
Needless to say, Christmas holidays came and went, your trip home cut short by your desire to be away from your obnoxious family, and the excitement of continuing your studies alongside Yoongi. With his help, you started making progress with your Potions, and you would have long chats about anything and everything during the hours you were meant to be studying for Defence. Yoongi felt happy, it felt like everything was finally going right. Until that one fateful day when a curse and a fight would change everything for him. He never thought that by being himself just once in his life, would cost everything he had managed to build over the past seven years at the school.
Yoongiâs heart dropped. Heâd been found out. He could tell just by looking at everyoneâs reaction. The friends heâd managed to make, had found out about his blood status. If not certain, they are suspecting him now. Suddenly, flashbacks of his father degrading him- calling him a dirty blood traitor, whilst making sure the skin of his wrist was raw and blistery, plagued his mind. His thoughts filled with his fatherâs harsh words, accompanied by his motherâs cries; the symphony of Yoongiâs life. He stood frozen on the spot, the adrenaline coursing through his veins causing him to enter the fight or flight mode. His wide eyes took in the faces of the people that have always supported him for the past few years heâs been at Hogwarts.
But then again, could Yoongi even call these people friends? Could he say they have always supported him? He glanced at Jimin.
Jimin, the person whom he thought was a stuck up pureblood. The person who approached him, offered him not only a seat at the Slytherin table, but also a group to belong in. He could vividly recall the day he got put into his house. He was terrified when the Sorting Hat sealed his fate with a simple holler- âSLYTHERIN!â Yoongi was aware of the house's reputation and fame. Full of purebloods, prejudice and pride; his mother had warned him to stay away from them. But how could he, now that he was one of them? In a split moment, he decided then and there that he would not allow anyone know about his status, he would take it to his grave if he had to. So with a strengthened resolve he created Slytherin Yoongi. Gone was the boy who would openly smile until his cheeks hurt, the boy who dreamt of happy endings, the boy who would innocently sit by the lake, his eyes following the murtlaps chasing each other. In his stead, a coldness settled over him. He knew that in order to make it he had to avoid being too close to anyone. Becoming friends with people would only make it harder for him to hide who he was. So he hid in the shadows on his own, keeping himself away from activities that would force him to interact with people more than necessary.
Until Jimin came along. Under the pureblood facade, Jimin was charismatic and flirtatious with everyone and that made him very popular amongst his fellow Slytherins. Yoongi stood no chance against his charms, and when one day he felt himself pulled down, to sit with the most popular Slytherin boy and his best friend he did not know what to make of it.
âYou look terrified,â Jimin laughed at Yoongiâs expression.
Being aloof and stiff with most of his peers made Yoongi very good at reading people. However, there was one person he could not read at all, and that was himself. Conflicted most of the time, the battle between the soft hearted boy who would try his best to make everyone happy and the new indifferent one mirrored in his eyes. Jimin was not stupid by any means, Yoongi found that out along the way. The internal battle that he was going through was not unnoticed by the pureblood Slytherin. Thinking about his friend and their journey into their friendship caused an old wound to reopen, a new wave of pain washing over him.
Then there was Jin, his neighbour Jin, who had stuck with him through thick and thin since childhood. Jin was there to pick him up when the other muggle children started calling him a freak. He never thought that Jin would end up at Hogwarts, not until they both got their letter when their mothers met up during their weekly cooking sessions. Getting excited over the letters, their mothers gushed at the two of them being best friends forever. Having Jin be there with him when they both entered the grand halls of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a comfort he knew he shouldnât indulge in. After all, they would probably not end up in the same house, and having read enough about the School, he knew there were rivalries, stereotypes. He couldnât bear the thought of Jin becoming his enemy. So he kept his distance. But as usual, Jin had an innate ability to jump in and save the day, a stubbornness only characteristic to Gryffindors. So, Jin stayed by his side. The boy was smart enough to not reveal their friendship to everyone. Until this day, that is.
Then there was Red, you were the sole reason his cold facade melted. For you he became the person that he used to be. Warm hearted and ready to jump to anyoneâs aid. He tried his best to not let his wall crumble, and for the most part he succeeded. But in his heart, something changed, something shifted. Your loud and honest personality paired with your stubbornness and your laissez faire attitude drew him in straight away. Yet, you were Jiminâs cousin, born as a pureblood, with the values of a Slytherin. You were loud and proud about being who you were. Never obnoxious about it, but there would be times when you would slip in one insult or another towards fellow âmudbloodâ students. Yoongi knew then that as enraptured as he was by you, he had to keep you at a distance. He could not let you find out who he was, so he denied himself the intimacy with you that he desperately craved.
He got caught in the web of lies he has created around his persona. The Yoongi that everyone knew was a facade, he was not and he would never be that Yoongi. He wasnât the pureblood genius that everyone knew, and he certainly was not the pureblood that could ever hope to win Redâs heart. At the thought of you his eyes honed in on yours. To his surprise he couldnât see any animosity in them, instead the sheen that glossed over your eyes spoke of pain. The sight of you there, amongst the people who have witnessed his comeuppance was unbearable to him and so with one last wistful glance at you, he turned on his heels and ran.
âYoongi!â The chorus of voices calling him was drowned out by the desperation in your voice.
He ran as fast as he could, stumbling into people, his eyes filling with hot tears. His legs were starting to hurt, and as he passed students, teachers, statues, Peeves who tried to pelt him with water - all he could focus on was the scene that had sealed his fate. The punches, his innate reaction to help his friends. The way Jin and Jimin had thrown meaningless words at each other. Something so unlike Jin that he did not know what to do, he acted instantly to break up the fight. Seeing his childhood friend, his brother, this aggressive triggered something in him he had not felt for a while. Fear.
He feared that Jin may have snapped, the trials of his life finally catching up to him at one word sputtered by Parkâs mouth, so he acted out of pure instinct. He got in between the two, but to everyoneâs surprise, Jimin was not the person he first reached out to. It was Jin who worried him the most. Talking to him in front of everyone as if he was an old friend, saying things to him that he shouldnât have known, raised an alarm in everyoneâs minds. When everything finally calmed down, Jin calmed down and Park, constrained by Taehyung. Yoongi was the only one left in the middle of the crowd, exposed and afraid.
Seeing him stand like that, his nervous countenance so unlike the cool composed man youâve come to know, spurred you on. Cautiously you approached him, your hand extended towards him. âYoongi?â You tried to get his attention however, your voice came out softer than youâd intended. Clearing your throat, you tried again, this time with a lot more conviction. âYoongi, are you...ok?â To your credit, you settled for the safest of questions. There were a million thoughts running through your head, how did he know Jin? Most importantly, how did he know Jin so well? You have never once witnessed any contact between him and the Gryffindor Head Boy, other than the occasional nod in his direction. But this, everything youâve heard, it seemed like their relationship ran deeper than Hogwarts. Purebloods and muggles in your head did not mix, especially Slytherins, unless there was something there that you were missing. That thought now in your head, you threw a hesitant glance in Jiminâs direction. It was easy to spot him amongst the rest, his face the only calm composed one out of all of them. Taehyung, Sunny, Nerd- the surprise was clear and apparent on their faces. Jiminâs calm composure told you all you needed to know- he was aware of the situation. Promising yourself to question him later, you turned your attention back to Yoongi, who as time passed looked more and more like a cornered animal, and you knew that at any moment he would flee the scene. Without thinking you took three rushed steps towards him, your eyes locked onto his. You read the sheer panic in them and before you could react his feet had carried him halfway across the hallway. âYoongi!â
Without thinking you ran after him, ignoring your cousinâs shouts for you to return. You did what you normally did best, acted rashly and ignorantly. As a beater on the Slytherin team you had the athletic advantage and so you quickly caught up with his retreating form. Reaching out for his arm you stopped him dead in his tracks. âYoongi. Stop.â Your voice sounded harsher than youâd intended, so desperate to get him to listen to you that you did not consider how your tone would affect him. You waited, not even phased by the sound of the other students milling in the corridors, the sight of his back being all you could see. The sound of his laboured breathing all you could hear. You uttered his name again yet, he did not turn around to face you, and for a second your composure crumbles. You squeeze his arm trying to get his attention, trying to get him to respond to you, trying to get him to do something. Caught up in your own thoughts and worries you yelped in surprise, you didnât even notice his sharp intake of breath before he suddenly yanked his arm out of your hold.
âWhat do you want now?â The tone of his voice is as cold as the corridor you are both in. Your heart clenches at the sound. You were expecting him to be hurt or scared, but the anger that you could read in his voice takes you by surprise. How Slytherin of him, you thought, and how Slytherin of you to assume he would be anything but angry. All your life youâve been indoctrinated to believe that anyone is below you, no matter who they are, all your life you were taught to assume you could read everyone, and you would always be right in your assumptions. Prejudice is not a winner in this case, you realised, not when it comes to love. Because all the nights you have spent in your dark room mulling over what had transpired between the two of you since that day in the bathroom, to the Yule Ball where you could barely think of dancing with anyone else but him. You didnât see it coming, like a Bludgeon to the head, but your heart did. You tried and tried to tell yourself that it was not love, but it was already too late.
âYoongi, please donât shut us out.â You havenât pleaded in your life, the sound of your voice a surprise to your ears. Before you could think too much into it, Yoongiâs response hit you like the Cruciatus curse.
âWhy? Why would I not? Why would I let you use my situation to fuel your pureblood pride?â He spat and you recoiled instantly from him, youâve never heard such venomous words coming from him. âYoongi,â you whispered, the fire in your heart dwindling. âWhy are you like this? Iâve never....why,â you tried to find your words but the hurt and shock running through your body made it difficult. âYouâve never been like this.â You finally settled. Yoongi narrowed his eyes at you, his fierce expression made you tremble. The shivers running down your spine didnât stop even as he carried on. The malicious tone of his voice bleeding through your veins like ice cold water. For a second you wonder if this is what Jiminâs felt like as Sunny pulled him out of the Black Lake. Cold and scared.
âWhat do you know about me?â You open your mouth to respond but he stops you dead in your tracks. âNothing!â he hissed. âYou donât know anything about me. You know Yoongi, the Slytherin. But you donât know anything about Min Yoongi the person.â His words cut through you and in that moment youâd rather be stuck with an army of Dementors than hear the accusations thrown your way. You knew he was right, you knew nothing of him. You hadnât tried to even after your brain finally accepted that your heart belonged to him. Ashamedly, you cower away from him, your heart stuck in your throat, the sudden feeling of nausea hitting you as if youâve had more Butterbeer than needed. You couldnât speak, your words falling short of your own feelings. You wanted to tell him you wanted to know him, the real him, pureblood or not, it was him you have fallen in love with. You wanted to tell him the extent of your feelings, yet nothing would come out. The silence that settled over the two of you was pressing and your senses were telling you to run, to get away from the uncomfortable feelings coursing through you. There was a reason you were sorted in Slytherin, more than your pureblood status, the need for self preservation ingrained in you since birth.
Yoongiâs laugh brought you back to the present, the despair you could discern in it made your heart break. Once more, the need to yell out your feelings, to comfort him like you did that day in the bathroom, willed you to move, and so you did. Taking a small weary step, the need to be closer to him overriding your cautiousness you softly whispered his name.
Scared and confused, Yoongi knew he had shut himself in. He was aware of what his words were doing to you, yet he could not bring himself to care. Not when all he could feel was the rejection that had trumped over his entire life, not when the hurt he has carried since birth which was not even his own doing, fuelled his emotions. His heart was screaming at him to move away from you before he did more damage, to remove himself from your vulnerable form, something he had only witnessed twice, your pride never allowing you to show anything less than perfection. However, what he did was the complete opposite to that. The hand that was extended towards him, in an attempt at reconciliation, made him bristle, and so, acting like a cornered Hippogriff, he took the bite in the form of words. Words he would come to regret later, but at that moment, it did not matter to him.
âStop, just stop.â His voice was loud and clear, the hardness of it washing over you. He could have cast a Stupefy spell over you and the results would have been the same. You froze, the feeling of dread gripping at your heart. âDo you think you can come here, with your pretty words and make everything better?â He spat, his eyes blazing with anger. âYou donât know anything about me, and you wouldnât care to know.â
Finding your voice, the anger he is throwing at you fuelling yours, you narrowed your eyes at him. âYoongi, stop. I never said I did not want to know you. I will never shut you out like you are now. Stop being a coward. Donât shut us out,â The anger in your voice dissipated, leaving the desperation that you felt to seep through. âDonât shut me out.â But Yoongi is relentless, his anger blinding, he knew he needed to protect himself from what was to come and so, he chose to do it in the only way heâs known how to, by distancing himself from people and his own feelings. âSo what, are you implying youâd be friends with a mudblood?â He scoffed, and for a second you couldnât find the will to speak. Taking it as an agreement, Yoongi carries on, his voice more spiteful than before. âSee what I mean? You are not going to shut me out? That is a lie, and you know it. What would your parents think about their perfect princess being friends with a dirty blood traitor huh? What would they say if you brought something as disgusting as that and presented him as your friend? You couldn't, could you? Your perfect status is too important to be taintedâ He took another step towards you, but this time instead of meeting him in the middle, you took a step back. The fire in his eyes, and the hatred in his voice terrified you.
âBut youâre not a mudblood, notâŠâ You couldnât continue, your heart stuck in your throat, and the taste of bile invaded your tastebuds once more. You could feel the tears pricking, waiting to come out. Yoongi stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide as if youâve burnt him. And maybe you have, because the next second he groaned in frustration, âsee what I mean, Y/N? Full mudblood or not, blood status will forever matter to you. And this is why you need to stay away from me. Forget I even existed in your life.â With that he turned around and left in a hurry his robes billowing behind him, not even bothering to glance back at your broken form. He knew he shattered you, his words pierced through your heart, he couldâve used an Unforgivable Curse on you and it would have been kinder than this. Yoongi tried his hardest to not break down in front of you but as soon as he turned the corner and was out of your sight he crumpled to the ground, his silent sobs a mirror of your echoing ones.
He didnât know how long heâd stayed there, he didnât know when his legs carried him to the bathroom that Moaning Myrtle normally did the rounds in, yet he wasnât disturbed by anyone. He didnât even notice you entering and trying to talk to him again, all he could hear was the yells of his father, the abuse he suffered because of what he was, all to the soundtrack of his own sobs. He could feel his body begging him to stop, to stop crying himself to exhaustion. When he eventually calmed down he found himself unable to move, and you were nowhere to be seen. His body stiff from sitting in one position for so long, his head pounding with the effort of crying, he felt empty. Helpless. He didnât know where to go from there, aware it was late he willed himself to move. He knew he needed to return to the dungeons, it would be around this time that Jimin would start his rounds as Prefect and he didnât want to risk getting points taken away from them if anyone else but Jimin found him loitering in the corridors. Though, that wouldnât be unlike him, a disappointment to his house.
Luckily for him, the way to the Common Room was deserted. Before entering, the growl coming from his empty stomach reminded him he missed dinner and so at the last minute he took a detour towards the kitchens, hoping that one of the Elves could make him something to eat. Standing in front of the painting he tickled the pear. Entering the kitchens he greeted the House Elves but to his surprise, he found himself staring at Jimin. Muttering his name Yoongi went to turn around and leave, the sight of his friend a painful reminder of what happened a few hours prior. âYoongi, wait.â Jiminâs voice sounded stern and by habit, Yoongi stopped dead in his tracks. He didnât want to face his friend, the friend who always thought he was something he wasnât, something he could never be, and something that Jimin valued above anything else. The thought of you crossed his mind and he closed his eyes tightly in grief. How could he dare face the cousin of the person heâs hurt the most?
âJimin.â He couldnât say anymore than that, his feelings clear in his voice. He felt angry, he felt ashamed, he felt like a fraud. No one said a word, the hustle and bustle of the House Elves the only noise that could be heard around them. Finally, Jimin sighed as he sat back down, motioning for Yoongi to join him. Yoongi hesitated, he shouldnât. He didnât know what Jimin would do now that he knew his friend wasnât what he said. âPlease sit or I'll have to report you to the Headboy for being out this late.â Yoongi narrowed his eyes. He wouldnât put it past Jimin to do such a thing so he complied, and sat down further away. Once again Jimin sighed,âlook, I wonât discuss what happened today unless you wish to.â Yoongiâs eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing. It was so unlike Jimin to make a pass at someone in such a way.
âThen why am I sitting here?â Yoongi bit back, too exhausted to lash out at Jimin, even though that is all he wanted to do. âBecause you are my friend.â Yoongi couldnât help but scoff at Jiminâs words, âYes, you are my friend Yoongi, nothing can change that, especially since you are in love with my cousin.â Yoongi froze, he couldnât believe what he was hearing. His brain was yelling at him to deny it, how could he love you, when all heâs done was hurt you, yet his heart wholeheartedly agreed with Jimin. Confused by his own feelings, he didnât say anything while waiting for Jimin to continue. Seeing that his friend was not going to react to his words Jimin sighed and continued. âLook, I knew who you were, I've known since 4th year.â Yoongi snapped his head round to look at Jimin, his eyes wide in surprise. âYou...knew? Why then...?â he whispered and Jimin nodded. âYes, I knew. Why, then, did I not say anything or why have I stayed your friend?â Yoongi nodded at the latter, he wanted answers for both of those questions but he would take whatever Jimin would give him. Jimin sighed once more, he never realised how broken his friend actually was, and it broke his heart to see it. âBecause no matter what, you are who you are, not what your blood status is. Yes, there is prejudice, and I apologise if I've ever made you feel like I would shun you because of this, but I frankly donât care. My family does, but I don't care what they do either.â Yoongi couldnât help but laugh, relief washing over him. Jimin didnât care. It felt as if a rock had been lifted off his chest. Jimin smiled grimly, âI will fight until the end with them if it means I get to live the life I want.â Yoongi nodded in understanding. âIs this about Sunny?â Jimin hummed in agreement. âI will tell my parents after graduation.â Yoongi shuddered, he knew where this was going, and he knew he wouldnât be able to refuse. âI will consider.â He said and got up to leave; suddenly he wasnât hungry anymore.
âThat is all I am asking of you.â Yoongi smiled grimly at Jimin but didnât reply. Jimin continued, âAnd Yoongi, what I just said about not caring what you are? I know Red doesnât either. So please consider that too.â Yoongi left without uttering another word, his heart pounding in his chest.
The sight of the looming manor made Yoongi stop dead in his tracks, his blood ran cold and he fought the instinct to Disapparate back to his home. He was here for Jiminâs sake, he needed to be there for his friend so with a sigh he dejectedly made his way towards the entrance. With the last bit of his strength he prepared himself to knock, only to be startled when the door opened for him as soon as he raised his hand towards the knocker. Confused, he took a cautious step inside, expecting someone to yell at him for trespassing. When only silence greeted him, he glanced around, taking in the intimidating vastness of the corridor. The mahogany theme of the door continued inside, the tall ceiling supported by wooden beams displaying various carvings. Yoongi took his time observing the paintings displayed above his head, the intricacy and detail told him they were an expensive artifact. Taking a few more hesitant steps, he came face to face with a grand mirror, its frame made out of solid gold and Yoongi couldnât help but huff at the thought of a Slytherin owning something else apart from silver. But then again, Jimin has never been your usual Slytherin. Before he could wonder further into the house, his ears picked up a murmur carrying over from the right hand side.
Determined to not make himself appear like a muggle, he took a deep breath in and with a determined stance, straightening his back he prepared himself to fully enter enemy territory. He was a lithe person, normally living in the shadows, he was used to not making a sound as he walked. Sometimes that would be a blessing and sometimes it would be a curse. As he approached the location where the voices were coming from he decided it was the former rather than the latter. Turning the corner, his heart stopped for a second. With her back towards him, in full dark green robes, bent over, whispering cautiously to a house elf, stood Red. He hadnât seen you since that last argument, the two of you making it clear you wanted nothing to do with each other. You played this avoidance game throughout to the end of the year, it wasnât hard to do so.
With your N.E.W.Ts around the corner, you both got stuck studying for your respective classes. Fortunately for him, aside from Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts you two didnât share any other classes together. So for the rest of the year, you two didnât have any unnecessary meetings. At first, Yoongi felt relieved, the way he treated you at that time was a painful memory, not having the chance to face you about it eased his mind. He wasnât wrong when he told you during your dance at the Yule Ball that he was going to hurt you, you adamantly refused to believe him. That night in the corridor when he degraded your status as a pureblood with all the hatred he could muster, he saw the heartbreak in your eyes. At the time, he couldnât care less, the painful memories of his childhood completely blinding him, the shame hit him a few hours later when he talked to your cousin. âShe has the right to love whomever she wants, what she doesnât have is a choice to have whomever she wants. Yet, sheâs fighting for that choice, and her choice is you. She couldnât have found a better cause to fight for.â
Those words stayed in his heart until the end of the year, he didnât know how or when, but heâs slowly come to terms with his feelings. He suspected his talk with Jin about it also helped. Jin, who came to apologise about the situation he put Yoongi through, however, contrary to his first reaction, Yoongi was quick to assure him it didnât matter. People were bound to find out regardless, it wasnât as if the situation ended up that way due to Jinâs malicious intent. The discussion with Jin made him realise that people havenât treated him differently. Heâs managed to make friends during these years at Hogwarts, and the friends heâs made liked him for himself, not his status in society. The only people who may have had a real issue with it were the first people to find out, the people who accepted him without a doubt.
At the sight of you, crouched to the House Elfâs level whispering instructions, his gaze softened. You were one of those people, and yet, he treated you horribly. As a Slytherin pureblood you had your faults, pride being one of them, but youâve never treated anyone differently based on their blood status. You tended to stay away from what would be deemed as âimpure bloodâ but that wasnât a choice, the rivalries and prejudice between Houses made it difficult to overcome that. Suddenly his ears picked his name out from the conversation and he took a step back, assuring that he was hidden from view.
âMake sure Yoongi doesnât realise, ok? Honestly, how can he Disapparate in front of the Manor and come knock like a muggle?â Yoongiâs heart clenched at your words, maybe he was wrong, maybe you did avoid him on purpose. Before his thoughts could take over his actions, you carried on, âthis family would not only suspect him, but go to the depths of looking into his family history. Make sure no one realises he didnât Floo himself here, Harvey.â Yoongi unknowingly took a few steps closer to you, his body now in full view. Straightening up, you turned to leave the room when you caught sight of Yoongiâs frozen form.
Your surprised expression instantly turned cold, as you nodded at him in acknowledgement. âYoongi.â Said man couldnât find his words to greet you, the discrepancy between your cold words to him and what heâs heard earlier making his head spin. Your face may have been stony cold, but your heart bled for him. Youâd missed him- playing the avoidance game had been the hardest thing youâd ever had to do. Seeing him now, looking fresher and healthier than he was the last time you saw him, hurt. Because you knew that it was you whoâd managed to bring him to despair. You may have done it subconsciously, or maybe you werenât even a part of it, but the guilt gnawed at your inside nonetheless. Your world was not healthy for him. You knew that. You shouldnât have even thought about bringing him into it, this wasnât a fairytale, and it would never be. You needed to let him go. Defeated, you prepared yourself to leave. But just like Jimin had stopped him that night in the kitchens, Yoongi decided that it was time to stop being a coward. He needed to face his demons, and most importantly he needed to make sure you never left his side again.
âY/N.â The tone of his voice made you stop abruptly, your eyes widened in panic. This was not meant to happen, you werenât ready to face him on your own just yet. Putting on the most cordial face you could, you nodded at him in acknowledgment. âYoongi. How have you been?â He hated it- hated this politeness towards him. Where was the woman who put him in his place more than once? Where was the woman whose pride meant she had to have the last word. âI-Fine.â He was so caught off guard by your behaviour that he found the words heâd prepared stuck in his throat.
Staring at him for a second longer, you nodded. âWell-â Yoongi knew what you were going to say so with a last surge of courage he plunged. âI love you.â You froze, your brain trying to wrap itself around the confession that Yoongi just hurtled at you. âWhat?â You whispered, you needed to make sure you heard it correctly. Yoongi took a deep breath in, the cat was already out of the bag, and he would be as truthful with you as he could without drinking any Veritaserum. âI love you, I may not be the best for you, by Merlin, I am not even a possibility for you, but I wanted to let you know. Iâve run away too much, and you were right, Iâve been a coward. But if I want to stand any chance against your family, I need to stop hiding behind my hatred and cowardice.â His words were said with such conviction they brought tears to your eyes. Unknowingly, your feet carried you closer and closer to him, until you broke off into a run, not caring about how unladylike you may have looked. You threw yourself into his arms making him stumble. âI love you.â You whispered into his shirt, the tears flowing down your cheeks washing away the pain youâve garnered in your heart. There was nothing else exchanged, there was no need to. You both knew how you felt, you both knew the other knew how you felt. You were both aware it will be a tough ride for the both of you, but your hearts were mending and that was all that mattered.
âWhat about the French bastard?â Yoongi broke out of your hold and looked at you in confusion. âWhat about him?â Your eyes are twinkling like the night stars, and Yoongi swore he saw galaxies in your smile. âMy parents donât want a son in law who ditches their daughter at a ball.â You chuckled as Yoongiâs eyes widened. âPlus,â you grabbed his hand and led him out of the drawing room towards a grandiose, intricately carved door. Behind it, Yoongi could hear murmurs and he assumed that is where the party was being held. âJimin can be very convincing when he wants to.â You winked at him playfully.
âLet's hope heâs more than willing to be convincing today too.â Yoongi smirked and he looked at you. âYou ready?â At your nod, you both waved your hands whispering Alohomora and watched with your hearts in your throat as the door opened. It was now or never.
As Jimin announced his relationship to Sunny, your hand gripped Yoongiâs subconsciously. Your heart threatened to beat out of your chest in fear. Fear for Jimin and his relationship, but most importantly, fear for yourself and your own chances at a happy relationship with Yoongi. You glanced at said man, he looked terrified as if he was the one under scrutiny, you could notice his Adamâs apple bob as he swallowed. The silence in the room felt heavy and you turned your attention towards your parents. You knew it was selfish, it was Jimin you should be worried about and yet, all you could think of was the man next to you. The man who managed to brave this manor, and these purebloods despite his adversity to them. All for your cousin. You could see the tick in your parentâs jaw, you could see the tension between Jimin and his father, so thick you could cut it with a knife. No one dared to say anything for a while, and just like that, with the sounds of a platter dropping to the floor the tension was broken like a spell. Everyoneâs heads turned towards the source of the noise. There in the middle of the fireplace, stood the fashionably late Taehyung, having Flooâd in straight into a House Elf serving a platter of wine. âMy apologies for the lateness!â He exclaimed as he took in the mess heâs managed to create. With a wave of his hand he mumbled âReverteâ under his breath, not giving the House Elf another look as he made his way in between Jimin and his father. âMr. Park, lovely to see you.â He bows his head in respect, not giving Jiminâs father any time to react, Taehyung turns quickly towards Jimin. âJimin, you are needed in the Auror Office today as soon as possible.â
If you wouldnât have known those two rascals from a very young age you wouldâve thought it a coincidence, a bloody godsend, but because you have been around them since diapers you didnât miss the slight turn at the corner of Taehyungâs mouth, or the way Jimin subtly nodded at him. They have planned this from the beginning, and with a small relieved laugh you acknowledge Taeâs greeting with a wave of your hand.
âThey planned this all along didnât they?â Yoongiâs whisper in your ears makes you shudder. Still chuckling to yourself you nod, âof course they did, itâs the double trouble of Hogwarts, well I should say the Aurorâs Office now shouldnât I?â Turning towards him, you donât miss the amused glint in his eyes. You barely notice the commotion of the party carrying on around you, your fingers intertwined with Yoongiâs, your gazes locked and silly smiles on your faces. If Jimin could do this and get through it, then so could you. You werenât going to let Outdated Park beat you at that too.
âWe will be fine.â You said determinately, a surge of courage and hopefulness running through you. Chuckling at your expression, Yoongi nodded.
âYes we will, Red, yes we will.â You could get through this, especially if it was with Yoongi by your side, it was all worth it.
