it feels like im reading against the intended tone of the relationship and character but god. if you take danaâs actions purely at face value the kind of person it paints is like. One I have a lot of complicated feelings about.Â
#like dont get me wrong miguel needs his ass kicked several ways to sunday for the cheating#but man. is there something to be read in someone who#finds a scaple and digs DEEP when she wants to hurt someone. like hanging out with Stone - KNOWING he drugged miguel - because she wants to#needle him about not spending time with her. kissing gabriel while saying not to let the past affect his relationship w his brother now#LIKE. on one hand i can just chalk this up to shitty misogynistic 90s writing and theres absolutely an element to that#but on the other hand im like how do you fuck up interiority on this woman specifically SO hard if youre not going to interogate the actions#she takes or offer an insight into how this character thinks or considers others around her#when other women in this series like Xina and Conchata have really interesting and compelling dynamics and actions that you can dig at from#several difffent angles like#THROWING MY HANDS IN THE AIR! GOD! I want the writing to give a shit about how it constructs Dana and what that implies about the kind of#person she is#tunes talks critical#<- since thereâs an element of me bitching shdhd#tunes talks 2099#and like.

CW; breeding k!nk, slight choking k!nk, very rough and dark!abby. Thatâs all I can really think of, have fun!
Authors note:
Dni if ageless, under 18 or a man!!
Thank you for reading this, this is my first ever time writing a fic, if I need to do anything to improve please let me know! This is the raw unedited version and I hope you enjoy
Love yall!
You have never been so bored, so horny. Abby was at the gym and you had nothing to do except lay on the bed and wait around. You groan and you grumble when an idea pops into your mind. Sure, itâs dumb and possibly dangerous. You decide to give Abby a call. Calls are only reserved for emergencies but you being this horny should count as one. The phone rings and you are met with no answer. You try again about 4 more times before she answers. âIs it an emergency?!â She sounds panicked. âIâm horny and I need you.â You respond back. Sheâs furious. âReally? Are you serious? Fuckinâ wait until Iâm homeâ she hangs up the phone and you got the answer you expect, but not the one you wanted. You wanted her to speed home and fuck you the moment she walks in the door. You begin to grow impatient and start to touch yourself, you pick up your phone and take a picture, sending it to Abby. You know it will drive her mad and it will get you in trouble, but maybe thatâs the fun of it. You donât receive a message back, she only leaves you on read. Itâs what you would expect from her but still, you wish you could see her face when she received the picture. About 10 minutes later you hear the door slam and a heavy bang of her gym bag on the floor. The sound of footsteps filling your ears along with the fast thump of your heart. You know youâre in deep shit. The door slams open and you feel hands wrap around your ankles and pull you towards the end of the bed. The blonde girl sits down next to you on the edge of the bed and then props you over her knee. You know whatâs about to happen. And you know itâs going to hurt and there will be no mercy. âFucking whore. You couldnât wait hm? You wanted to get punished didnât you? So fucking stupid.â She strikes your ass open palmed with a thwack. âAnswer me you little shit. You wanted this?â Your mind races, barely able to form coherent thoughts. âY-yesâ you finally mumble out before another blow meets your round, and now red ass. She grabs you by your hair and throws you onto the bed, your ass up in the air, facing her. She places her cold hand against your spine and pushes down, making you arch. Without warning she licks a fat stripe from your clit all the way to your hole. She slurps up all your juices mercilessly. She kneads your ass and smacks it once more before grabbing you by your neck and pulling your back to her chest, you let out a small whimper and a yelp. âYou gonna be a good girl and listen to me? Huh, princess?â Her hot breath tickling your ear and your neck. She pushes you with full force back against the bed before she stands back up. You already know what sheâs going to grab, you donât have to see to know whatâs going on. You hear her rummage through the closet before pulling out a black box. She pulls out a breeding strap and buckles it to her hips. She sits back on the bed and without warning she slams deep into you, immediately hitting your cervix. You let out a loud yelp and your back arches upward. It hurts, the immediate impact to your insides. She doesnât care, she keeps going and continues to pound fastly into you. âGod, so fucking tight. Look how this pussy just swallows and begs for my cock.â She whispers in between thrusts. You can feel her hips start to falter and her breaths get quicker, you know she is about to cum, and so are you. Youâre quick to get to the edge just before she runs her finger over your clit, rubbing tight circles. It makes you cum instantly, you let out a loud moan of pleasure, âgood fucking girl, just wait, I need to cum..â sheâs overstimulating you, chasing her own release, and just as she cums, you feel a warm fluid filling your insides, you can feel it drip down your thighs, she pulls out in awe, seeing the cum drip out of your wet and puffy pussy. She is quick to take off the strap and grab you water. âHere, drinkâ she passes you the water and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear before kissing your forehead. âWas I too rough? Are you ok? Iâm sor-â you cut her off with a kiss to shut her up âit was perfect my girl, I love youâ

Something where Jack and the reader have a great sex life but the reader isnât nearly as experienced as him and gets insecure sometimes and Jack reassures her - doesnât have to be exact but something along those lines pretty please :))
None of the people in my writings portray the actual people I write about! Itâs all a work of fiction, I have no idea how they are/act irl.
Warnings: fluff, smut, fingering (f!recieving) penetrative sex (f!receiving), swearing,
âHey. Please donât do that. Cmonâ, talk to me baby..â Jack dipped his head down to meet your eyes, having tucked your chin into your neck, embarrassed.
You huffed, throwing your self back into the bed, throwing your hands over your face as you groaned.
Jack gently curled his hands around your wrists, pulling your hands from your face so he could look at you.
âYâgonna tell me whatâs wrong? Or am I gonna have to get it out of you another wayâŠâ he trailed off, a smirk forming on his face.
âJack⊠donât-â you warned him, but it was too late.
Jackâs fingers dug into your skin, tickling you everywhere as you gasped and erupted in giant laughs and giggles.
âJack!â
âY/N!â He copied you with a sly grin.
âFuck off!â You giggled loudly, squirming in his grip.
âTell me whatâs wrong!â He countered, smiling as he continued his tickle attack on you.
âFine, FINE!â You gasped for air as he let up.
He laid in between your legs, chin on your tummy as you regained your breath.
âI just- hnnnnggg,â you groaned as your threw your arms over your face.
Jack waited patiently, giving a reassuring rub and peck against your tummy.
âI just feel so⊠inexperienced compared to you. I donât know what Iâm doing, and I just- I- I want it to be good for you too. I just- yeah, I donât know what the fuck Iâm doing and I feel dumb.â You huffed your confession, arms still over your face.
âY/N,â Jack shuffled up and removed your arms from your face, his hands cupping your cheeks, forcing you to look at him.
âEvery moment with you is good for me, it's fucking great for me. Yeah our experiences arenât the same, but they arenât supposed to be. Nobodyâs is,â he said caressing your cheek.
âAnd none of that shit matters anyways. Doesnât matter if youâve slept with 50 people or 5 or none at all. Just because I may have technically been with more people-â he said raising his hands to do air quotes. âDoesnât mean that this isnât new to me too. I mean fuck-, dâyou have any idea the effect you have on me?â He questioned, leaning to plant kisses along your jaw.
âMâalways afraid Iâm gonna bust too quick every time you let out one of those sweet little sighs,â he mouthed at your neck.
âOr that mânot doing enough to get you there, that Iâm not gonna be able to make you feel as fuckinâ deliciously insane as you make me feel when you tighten around me-â he groaned, grinding his hips into yours; a thumb reaching down to erotically swipe at your nipple.
You let out a pleasant sigh which turned into a whine, your hand threading through his hair to tug on, resulting in a deep groan from Jack.
âFuck baby,â Jackâs mouth found yours, desperate to feel your soft lips against his, to meld together and never separate. God he could kiss you for hours upon hours. The way he melted into you was euphoria, why would he ever wanna be anywhere else, with anyone else?
Jack's hands were practically shaking, he was electrified by your soft gasps and touch, he couldn't wait to show you what you meant to him.
"Y'make me feel jittery, like I'm on a sugar high," he groaned, kissing your neck, and down to your chest. "And I wake up every day, and can't believe you're mine. I get to kiss you and hug you," he explained.
"And fuck you-" he mouthed at your lips as he rolled his hips against yours. You let out a moan, your hips reacting on their own accord, wanting to meet his delicious bulge again.
"Please..." you whispered.
"Hm? Please what, baby?" Jack teased; you felt his grin press into the crevice of your neck.
"Please, take care of me Jack. Want it... want you, bad." You struggled to form a cohesive sentence, his roaming hands and mouth and the roll of his hips into yours were driving you crazy.
"Yeah? My pretty girl's gonna let me take care of her? Let me fuck her how she deserves? Gonna let me make you cum?" He taunted you.
"Yes, yes, please Jack-" You nodded furiously, grasping at the fabric of his shirt, desperate to feel him.
"Okay, princess, I got you." Jack promised, kissing your soft lips.
His big hands swept under your shirt, slowly pushing it up your body, littering kisses all over your tummy and up your chest, before taking it off. Jack let out a groan of approval, kissing you again to calm his heart rate down a bit.
"Mmh-, Jack..." your brows slightly furrowed together, tugging at his shirt. Jack couldn't help but chuckle before tearing his own shirt off.
Your hands immediately went to his torso, palms sliding up from his tummy to his chest, exactly as he had done to you. You wet your lips, ogling his porcelain skin, his chest smattered with hair and freckles.
The two of you sat like that for a few seconds, just admiring eachother, nothing but soft pants of neediness filling the room
Jack leant down and pressed a few kisses to your lips and one to your nose - making you giggle, before he continued his plan of action. You lifted your hips so he could slip your shorts off easily, to which he pressed kisses to your pooch, and one to your clothed mound. Jack stood up momentarily, pulling his sweats off before climbing back over you.
He grinned, dimples digging into his cheeks as his eyes roamed over you. "So pretty..." he exhaled, his thumb rubbing over the skin right under your bra.
You weren't wearing anything special, just a simple black bra, with mismatched purple panties. But it didn't matter. None of those details that would've plagued your mind - whether it be your inexperience with sex, your mismatched underwear, if you shaved or not, stretch marks, the way your breasts looked, - none of them mattered. Jack loved them all, he looked at you like you were the sun.
"So fuckin' pretty, angel..." he spoke as if he was in a trance. "So good," he said as he settled in-between your legs, his nose tracing against yours. Jack slipped his hands behind your back, unclasping your bra and throwing it to the side, his grin digging deeper into his face as he was met with your breasts. He happily leant down to give them his undivided attention, kissing, licking, sucking. One thing about Jack, he loved toying with your nipples and clit, wanting to see and feel them grow hard against his touch. "So soft, all mine..." He groaned as they grew hard, causing his dick to do the same, and continued to mouth at your breasts. He left a few hickies against your chest in his wake, before moving on.
"So smart, so funny, so wet-" he said as he slipped two fingers under your panties and ran them through your folds, wetting them with your slick. Jack pulled his fingers back, now pressing the pads of his fingers against your swollen clit.
"Oh, fuck," you gasped, your back arching, chest pressing against his.
"I know baby, I know. Feels good, huh?" He panted.
"Y-Yeah- so good," you sighed.
"Yeah? And how 'bout now?" He asked before working his fingers into your wet swollen pussy.
"Oh, god-" you whimpered, your eyes squeezing shut in pleasure as he began to pump into you. Jack kept his thumb on your clit, pressing hard against the little nub every time he thrusted into you.
"Fuck, Jack- I'm gonna-" you gasped as the pads of his fingers tapped against that spot in you, your pussy contracting around him.
"C'mon baby, you got it, take what you need mamas-" Jack encouraged you, unable to keep his hips from writhing against the mattress as he watched you tip over the edge of your orgasm.
Your insecurities and worries melted away as you let the euphoric pleasure wash over you. Jack slowed his thrusts, until stopping them completely as he witnessed you sink into the mattress. He gave you a moment to calm down, before he pulled his fingers out and started to place kisses all over your face.
You shivered, grinning as you pressed your face into his neck, wanting to be as close as possible.
"Y'alright?" He asked, his arms wrapping around your waist, pulling you so you now laid on top of him, and he laid on his back.
"Mhm, the best." You nodded as he held you. And although he gave you a phenomenal orgasm, you couldn't help but want more; and you knew he did too by the hard outline of his dick through his black briefs, but you knew he wouldn't do anything until you initiated it. So you did.
You angled his face towards yours, bringing him in for a hungry kiss, making him sharply inhale.
"Need more." You whined against his mouth.
"Yeah? My baby needs more?" Jack grinned.
You nodded before you slid your panties off, and tugged his briefs after he nodded at you.
His dick was always a sight to see. Big but not intimidating, and girthy. You couldn't help but drool a bit as you watched his sticky cock blurted out a few drops of pre-cum.
You licked at his head, earning a hiss from Jack, and you smiled; loving the reassuring feeling that he loved this as much as you did. You wrapped a hand around him, jerking his cock a few times, making Jack grunt, eyes shut and brows furrowed as you lapped at him a few times.
"B-Baby, please- not gonna last if you keep, fuck-" he groaned as you swirled your tongue around his head.
"Sorry-" you giggled before moving up to straddle his hips.
"Don't be. Just wanna cum when I'm in you." he said panting as his hands rested on your hips.
"Well, you technically were," you grinned at him cockily.
"You know what I mea- oh fuck," he moaned as you sank down onto him.
You started to grind your hips against his, working him into you more until he reached the hilt. Your arousal seeped through you, drenching his cock with you, creating a nice sticky mess against his trimmed pubes, matting them together. Your clit rubbed against his pelvic bone, making you throw your head back as your palms found home on his broad chest.
"Wait, wait-" you heard him say, his hands stilling your hips.
He pulled out momentarily, and flipped the two of you over, so you were on your back.
"M'supposed to be taking care of you, remember?" He smirked, planting a kiss to your lips.
Jack sat back on his haunches, dick in his hand as his jerked his cock a few times, leaning over and tapping the head at your clit and sliding the length of his cock through your folds, but not fully putting it in yet.
"She wants me real bad, huh?" Jack teased, loving how he'd almost slip into you, and then pull out and keep pressing against your slick folds.
You let out a frustrated whine, and Jack chuckled. He finally slipped the head past your entrance, slowly thrusting into your sopping pussy.
"Fuck, fuck, so warm and tight- fuckin' hell," he exhaled, nuzzling his face into your neck as he held himself up by his forearms.
Jack started to snap his hips a little faster as he felt you relax, his tip kissing your core, making you cry out as you held him closer to you.
"Jack, oh my fucking god!" You whined, threading one of your hands into his curly locks, tugging on them every time he thrusted.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck," you gasped, hips trying to meet his as he fucked you.
"Good girl- good fuckin' girl, taking this dick so well," Jack muttered in your ear, mouthing at your jaw as a thumb snuck inbetween the two of you to rub at your clit.
"shitshitshit, keep doing that, fuck-" you cried out. All your senses were on ten; you felt him everywhere, it made you dizzy in the best way. You felt your wetness becoming messy, dripping down between your cheeks, as it made Jack's glide smoother.
Neither of you had the ability to form a cohesive sentence anymore, only communicating through grunts, whines and moans.
You were close, the tight rope in your tummy reaching the last of its elasticity, about to snap at any moment. Jack felt it too, the way your walls hugged him only made his balls tighter, and he felt how full they were as they slapped against your ass.
"Shit puppy, not gonna last much longer-" Jack uttered into your neck.
"Cum in me, Jack, I need it," you panted.
You felt him nod in your neck, snapping his hips faster and harder, both of you just kissing the peak of your orgasms. You came first, walls squeezing his thick cock in pulses, raking your nails down his back as you moaned.
The tightness of your pussy and the sound of you cumming drove Jack to his release. His hips stuttered as he gave three sharp final thrusts, emptying his release in you with loud breathy grunts.
You stayed like that for a few minutes, enjoying the gentle floaty feeling of your orgasms, and feeling his cum spill from you, down your ass and over your thighs. You squeezed your thighs around him once more, reveling in the feeling.
Instinctively, you raked your nails against his sweaty scalp, making his shiver and nuzzle closer against you as he let out a "mmmm".
Jack finally brought his face out from your neck, eyes hooded and dreamy, completely in love with you.
He smiled, messily kissing you, not wanting to move from the warm cocoon you two had made.
He was about to pull out, but you locked your legs around him tighter.
"No. Not yet. Stay like this, please?" you pleaded, not wanting him to be apart from you.
"Of course, whatever you want, smush." He kissed you once more, settling his head on your chest, his arms smoothing up your back, laying his full weight on you as he let out a deep satisfied sigh.

oh gods
a menace
a complete menace i say
you know that thing cats do? when they just keep a direct eye contact with you as their little fluffy paw slowly pushes your potted plant or a cup full of drink to the edge of the table while you watch hopelessly bc your hands are dirty or busy doing smt?
yeah, itâs the 5th time the flower shop owner is seeing you this week and your wallet is crying
itâs almost as if you two were sworn enemies in your past life and scaranya is out for blood
doesnât have that much of a zoomie episodes but when he does oh boy
you better retreat into a safe place but even then youâre not safe from scaranyaâs terrifying zoomie powers
heâs literally running and jumping around everywhere
the table, on top of the fridge, the curtains, on top of the washing machine, your little bookshelf - everywhere
scaranya is such a little shit (affectionately)
his preferred way of waking you up is faking puking noises and when you throw your covers off and literally zoom into the living room, he gives you a look as if saying âfinally awake, you silly human slaveâ
sometimes he even jumps on top of your chest harshly but thatâs only used if youâre oversleeping with your alarm clock snoozed for the past 20 minutes and youâre running late to work
despises baths with a burning passion
if youâre taking him anywhere a large body of water is, heâs trashing around, kicking, hissing, biting, scratching - the whole pack
after a successful bathing time, with added new scratch marks on yourself, he would not approach you until you fall asleep
after you have fell asleep, he would quietly approach your sleeping figure and give small, shy licks to the angry red scratches he caused as if apologizing for being so aggressive
hates rainy days too, especially the ones with thunder and lightning
jumps up 5 ft into the air if a thunder strikes and runs into your lap, shaking small body curling into himself with all of his cockiness and pride out the window
scaranya appreciates you greatly but heâs just a bit too bad at communicating and so he shows his affection by lapping up the scratches he gave you
âscaranya, arenât you gonna go out to the back garden and play with the rest? itâs nice outside todayâ
hmph! what do you mean by play with the rest of the cats? heâs a royal! heâs superior! scaranya has never heard of such bullshit befor- oh! a bird! must. catch!
scaranya and miao gets into fights sometimes and whenever you separate them, scaranya goes to sulk in the corner of the house silently
until you go over to him with a sigh and pick him up gently, he doesnât even resist - just choosing to simply curl his tail around your wrist
a solid 9/10 kitty if he would just stop being a tsundere
art by Mechodes on twt
miao acts more like a guard dog than a cat sometimes
the smallest out of all the kitties yet also the strongest one. honestly the sheer amount of times miao has taken down a wild dog 10 times his size just keeps giving you more and more heart attack
doesnât get zoomies, if anything he stops the other kittiesâ zoomies if they go a bit too far - which most of the times escalate into scaranya and miao fighting
cleanse the land house through slaughter bug hunting
a sweet baby
miaoâs preferred way of waking you up is to silently sit on your side of the bed and stare until you get that feeling of being watched and wake up to 2 piercing yellow eyes just staring holes into your soul
yes, you have yelled and fell off of your bed many times due to that
you found little miao at a dark alleyway, covered in blood and barely on the brink of death with his tiny paws twitching constantly
grew up malnourished on the streets with his 4 siblings dying out one by one, so due to that miaoâs body is very small and heâs extremely territorial with you - his one and only sweet human
always leaves his scent on you by rubbing his head around your ankles
miao is indifferent when it comes to taking a bath, unlike scaranya, and he can be very obedient as well
when rubbing soap into his legs and washing his paws he would stretch out his limbs to make it easier for you to wash him - anything to lessen the load of his favorite human
he also seems to like your co-worker, zhongli a lot
one time you came home with zhongli due to a deadline of a great project coming closer and upon seeing him, miao immediately jumped into his lap, purring lowly, rubbing his head on zhongliâs hand
yes your heart broke at the betrayal and yes miao apologized with a dead rat in his mouth
but if itâs any other guests youâre bringing home, then miao would either get on top of the fridge and simply watch or hiss at the guest
oddly likes being in high places
one time, you made him a small necklace-collar thingy out of a few pearls and he wears that with pride, chest puffed out (a replica of his necklace)
loves sleeping on the lower parts of your bed at night. itâs soft, fluffy and he can keep an eye on you and keep you safe so itâs a win-win in miaoâs book
âmiao-miao, do you wanna come with me to the back garden to pick up the tomatoes?â
before you can even finish your question heâs already at the back door, staring at you expectantly with his tail thumping slowly against the floorboards
thanks to miao and kazunya your house will never get any bugs, roaches or mouses inside
if feeling incredibly vulnerable and soft, miao paws at your arm to ask for pets bc he just needs the comfort of his favorite human
literally a 9/10 kitty if he would just change his way of waking you up

heinya is another little shit (affectionately)
he likes to cause trouble and drama here and there
also really enjoys spilling tea to you
it doesnât matter if youâre waking up and is still groggy or just coming in through the front door, back from work - heinya is spilling all the drama of the shows he watched on the tv while you were away or the different birds he saw through the window - meowing away at you excitedly
another helpful hand
if youâre coming back from grocery shopping then heinya can take some of the smallest and lightest bagged things and dragging them to the kitchen alongside miao, kazunya and nyaether
heinyaâs preferred way of waking you up is to make biscuits - you know that cute thing cats do with their paws squishing at their favorite spot over and over - on your stomach or lower back or! he just meows besides your ear over and over until you eventually wake up
the perfect alarm - heinya
heâs such a sweet baby
and heinya really likes watching real life crime documentaries for some reason
at first when you found this out, you couldnât help but think heinya is going to murder you in your sleep but soon you realized he just loves crime related things
and bc he like crime related things, you bought heinya a cute spy glass shaped squeaky toy
when getting the zoomies, heinya decides to bite and kick at the spy glass shaped squeaky toy - making the toy let out squeaks at every little kick
heinya enjoys spending time outdoors, sniffing at the different scents wafting in the air, tracking down all different sorts of footsteps and paw marks with great interest - you sometimes wonder if heinya was a detective in his past life
loves to bring you all sorts of interesting things he found - an old ripped part of a newspaper article, a weirdly shaped leaf, a flower he has never seen before, a half bitten chicken still warm - wait whereâd he get this?
loves to sleep using your hand as a pillow my cat does that to me so rip bc you have been captured by the amazing detective heinya and you wonât be moving for hours on end, letâs hope you had a nice snack and a toilet break beforehand
chose to wear the smooth, black satin you tied around his neck as a collar - either bc he loves to wear soft things or he just loves it bc you gave it to him
heinya is an incredibly affectionate kitty, always meowing for you for pets, cuddles and perhaps his favorite soft wet food? heâs been really good!
doesnât really mind taking baths as well, if anything he uses this opportunity to shake bubbles everywhere!
for some reason, also loves to groom your hand. maybe itâs just something your kitties all share?
overall another solid 9/10 kitty, if you donât mind being splashed with water and bubbles while bathing him
art by @bbadtime on tumblr
kazunya, me beloved
literally an angel, how could you ever be mad at him even as he took a whole bite out of your potted plantsâ leaf?
another kitty that loves staying in high places like miao and stay outdoors like heinya
joins miao on his duty to cleanse the land house through slaughter bug hunting from time to time
a lazy, sweetheart of a cat that loves to sleep on warm places and the sunlight - you literally had to buy a window sling just for him to nap under the sunlight
another helpful hand!
will drag the lightest and smallest bagged things to the kitchen whenever you come back from grocery shopping - more so if itâs cat food
isnât a picky eater but sometimes, just sometimes, prefers food with fish in itâs ingredients
kazunya is mostly tasked to wake you up by the other kitties bc heâs the sweetest
wakes you up by purring and snuggling with your face, neck, hands - anything just you in general
soon enough, the small fluff purring and cuddling you wakes you up and as a reward for waking up, kazunya gives you a small kiss - a lick to the tip of your nose - making you laugh
doesnât meow a lot, only when he has to or if itâs an emergency such as the litter boxes not being cleaned, the food trays being empty etc
always gives you a kazunya kiss as a thank you
a gentle baby, even to the guests
whenever a guest comes over to your house, they always gush about the cute white cat with a small red streak in his fur
kazunya doesnât get zoomies. even if he does itâs rare like only once a week
always grooms himself to keep himself clean, not to mention his white fur sparkling as well
surprisingly enjoys bath times, would even suggest you to bathe him by tugging on your sleeve then pointing to the bathroom with his fluffy paw!
however thereâs just one thing that kazunya does that makes you shiver
itâs that he always, always! brings you dead animals or bugs. birds, rats, mouses, cockroaches, crickets - anything that he managed to hunt - he brings over to you with his tail swishing happily behind him
itâs considered a gift in cat language, you know that! but itâs just a bit dirty especially if he brings over different bugs. the rats, mouses and birds you can handle but the bugs brrr
one time, kazunya proudly brought you a dead wolf spider as you held back a tear and a screech, deciding to take his gift with a forced smile
you never recovered from that
a 10/10 kitty if he would just stop bringing you dead spide - kazunya is that a mf dead tarantula in your mouth?

another best kitty!
a sweet kitty that never complains!
helpful, never complains, never picky with his food - a literal angel
however sometimes nyaeather disappears randomly, coming back after a day or so
he always seems to be searching for something - his twin - you soon found out, by registering him and getting his pet password
and so you decided to help him reunite with his twin by putting up posters, articles, news on the internet, tv, radio - anything to make nyaether happy
after a whole half year of dedication and endless search, nyaetherâs twin was finally found!
turns out the person who adopted nyaetherâs twin was your co-worker, dainsleif, the quiet and mysterious tall man
after talking to him about the situation of the twin kitties, you both have come to an agreement to let the kitties have a play date once a week
when the day of the first play date has arrived an someone knocked on your door, your kitties gave you a confused look
upon taking nyaether in your arms, you walked over to the front door before unlocking it and letting dainsleif inside. as the blond man placed down the catbag and opened it, from inside stepped out a cute, similarly blonde furred kitty with a baby blue colored collar
upon seeing the kitty, nyaether jumped out of your arms and tackled his twin. cuddling her and licking at her face with a teary eyes - you and your co-worker dainsleif couldnât help but laugh at the adorable situation
since then nyaether had made a silent oath to always be beside you and be your best kitty! you have done a lot for him by helping him reunite with his twin - nyumine - so he would do anything in his power to lessen your load!
nyaetherâs preferred way of waking you up is by giving a gentle meow beside your ear and give your cheek three kisses - repeat the process on the other side until you eventually giggle and wake up
another kitty that doesnât mind taking baths! however he just prefers the water to have a bit of bubbles to soothe his nerves
likes to sleep in your arms since he has separation anxiety like scaranya - due to the incident with his twin
ânyaether, keep the others in check okay? iâm going out on a quick grocery shopping!â
âmyaaa!â
such a sweet babyđ„č
his meows are higher pitched and not full âmeowâ like kazunya or miaoâs instead itâs a short âmyaa!â
a solid 11/10 kitty. highly recommend, get yourself a nyaether today!
art by os_Amaniwa on twt
a little shit AND a menace (affectionately)
very hyper too! sometimes you wonder if nyenti has ADHD but in cat version
itâs like heâs always in his zoomie mode as if to make up for having 2 kitties that barely has zoomies - which are miao and kazunya
his affectionate attitude doesnât help as well
twirling, rubbing himself on your lap, hand, bageling his way around you - heâs always sticking close to you 24/7
one time as nyenti was rubbing himself on your hand while you were working on your computer for an important document, he tripped and fell on your keyboard - deleting your entire progress of work with a âmyeeew!â
yes, you cried that night
unlike heinya, nyenti doesnât really enjoy being outdoors - he just prefers to stay on your lap, lazily bathing in the sun - as he sometimes meows with heinya about some dramas
another kitty that loves to spill the tea to you
him and heinya meows your ears off with the things they have seen, watched, witnessed and heard - sometimes even adding some dirt on the other kitties such as kazunya eating leaves from your potted plants, scaranya sleeping on your hoodie bc he missed you, miao destroying the pantry during his duty to cleanse the land etc etc etc
nyentiâs preferred way of waking you up is to play with your hair. whether it be grooming at your hair, playing with them, tugging on the ends gently - it doesnât matter which form - as long as nyenti wakes you up, thatâs all
he also doesnât do much hunting either, preferring to watch from the sidelines as the others chase some bugs and small animals they found
for some odd reason nyenti likes you to put flowers on top of his head or a flower shaped charms as a collar - his most favorite and preferred one being the white lily
cut the flower's bud and place it on top of nyenti upside down like it's a cone hat and nyenti would give you the biggest, affectionate "myew!" while rolling around on the ground, showing you his tummy
a sweet kitty if he would just stop being a little zoomie induced shit
nyenti is another kitty that hates taking baths
doesn't react as aggressive as scaranya but he likes to yell his defiance a lot and i mean a lot
overall, a solid 8.5/10 kitty if he would just stop meowing loudly in your ears everytime you take him for a bathtime, making you more and more deaf

Hello!! Love your writing. Not sure if you are doing requests, but ANYTHING Logan Howlett x Plus Size reader would be awesome đđ€©
fem!plus size reader, wc: 582.
a/n: THIS IS SICKENINGLY SWEET OH MY GOODNESS. maybe this may seem out of character to some people, but in my opinion, I think logan is a big ol' softie.
cw! mentions of knarly injuries and stitches + mentions of a needle.
Okay yes, Logan might be brooding, and emo and mysterious but God forbid that you actually get hurt, because this man would lose his shit (in less than dignified words).
Letâs say metaphorically you go out on a mission and when you come back, youâre a little worse for wear. You already know by the time you make it to the clinical room Logan would have raised hell on his path there.Â
You have a few seconds of silence as you sit down on the medical table before you cringe at the sound of Loganâs voice booming down the hall. Jean gives you a look and all you can do is sigh exasperatedly.
You love him, you really do, but your head hurts and so does your side, which has been gracefully exposed to the open air, a less than preferable gash ripped through your skin. Youâre trying really hard not to look at it - or even think about it - rather focusing on the Wolverine whoâs now glaring at you.
âThe hell happened?âÂ
âWow Logan, I can really feel the love.âÂ
He gives you a look that makes the next bite of sarcasm die in the back of your throat. Instead, you replace it with another fruitless sigh.
âBig nasty metal thing,â You say with a wave of your hand, ââWas just throwing shit at people and I got hit with a nice piece of shrapnel, but Iâm good.â
âGood? You call being cut up like that good?â
âI really don't want to fight right now, Wolvie.â You pinch the space between your eyes. He softens ever so slightly at the intimate nickname and it doesn't take a mutation to know that the extra presence of your peers wasn't needed.
âJust let me stitch you up and I'll leave you guys to talk.â Jean says, already tweeding the thread through the needle. You wince, sparing a glance at the redhead before reaching Logan's eyes once more.
âThis is going to fucking suck.â You grimace.Â
Taking the hint, Logan walks and hops onto the bed as gently as he can so as to not jostle you. He doesn't speak when he takes your hand in his, squeezing it ever so slightly in a show of alliance.Â
When Jean gets started you force yourself not to look, turning your head to bury it in Loganâs burly shoulder, breathing in his cigar scent stained flannel. Itâs comforting to say the least, and itâs the only thing keeping you from passing out. The worst part was the numbing needle really.
âAlright, Iâm done.â She says, slipping the medical gloves off and throwing them away.Â
When you make eye contact with her, she gives you a knowing look. âIâll leave you to it.â
The room is silent for a moment before he speaks. âWhat were you thinking?â Itâs a petulant grumble, and you smile fondly. âIt wasnât like I actively tried to get myself hurt, you know.âÂ
He sighs, and pulls away from you so he can cradle your cheek.Â
âYouâre gonna be the death of me one day, you know that?âÂ
You laugh out loud, leaning forward to rest your forehead on his. âI guess youâre just going to have to keep up with me then, old man.â You tease. He smirks, âOld man? Really?â
âMhm.â You nod with a grin. Logan places a sweet, long peck onto your lips.
âMaybe Iâll just handcuff you to the bed.â
You snort, âIâd like to see you try.â

episode six: the spy
Steve looks like a kicked puppy as you storm ahead of him and Dustin, putting enough distance between you guys so that you canât hear their conversion that follows. âShitâŠâ âYouâre awful with women.â Dustin says, now continuing to walk. He doesnât bother to follow after you, knowing that you need your space to cool down. âI wouldnât follow her, by the way. Let her cool off.â Steve sighs, now walking as well, âYeah, I know.âÂ
Summary: dustin and steve haggle a butcher, you throw some meat at steve and then have a weird conversation about love, you stop dustin from becoming an incel, and then you wrestle some demodogs like any real woman would. side note: steve is hot protecting the kids.
Rating: general, violence and swearing
Warnings: fem!reader, use of y/n, violence and swearing, blood mention and ptsd mention, weapons, fire, probably more
Words: 17.1k (i fear how much longer these next few chapters become)
Before you swing in: its here !!! god, this chapter was ROUGH. the conversations between bug and steve took many rewrites and editing. i wanted to get it just right, and finally i think im satisfied with where they landed. bug and steve aside, i absolutely loved writing this chapter with the kids. i sincerely hope you guys enjoy, this chapter took blood, sweat, n tears lmao
-
Youâre the first to break the silence as you all stare at the hole Dart created in the wall in shock.
An obnoxiously loud yawn escapes your lips, and Dustin and Steve shoot you simultaneous weird glances. You feel your face heat up in embarrassment. âSorry⊠Itâs been a long day.â
Steve huffs. âYeah, no kidding.â
Dustin clears his throat before standing up. He wipes off some dirt that got on his jeans and then offers you his hand so that he can pull you up as well. You accept it and stand, your bones a deep, weary type of heavy that only comes from pure exhaustion.Â
âOkay,â Dustin begins, and you can already see a plan forming in his mind. âSteve, youâll spend the night here so that way we can all get up bright and early to start our search for Dart.âÂ
Steve attempts to argue, but Dustin puts his hand up to shush him and continues with his speech. The older boy throws his hands up in the air and gives you a look of disbelief over your brotherâs antics. You stifle a laugh, which he only rolls his eyes at. Steve, whether he likes it or not, will have to get used to Dustinâs⊠Dustin-ness.
âIf he escaped through the tunnel, then we have to assume that thereâs an opening somewhere above ground.â Dustin finishes.Â
You nod your head slowly, still unconvinced. âOkay, but how do we find him? Better yet, what happens when we do? It took Nancy with a shotgun, my knives, Steveâs batting skills, a ton of fire, and almost dying a bunch of times to take down the Demogorgon.âÂ
Dustin lets out a tired sigh. âIâll figure it all out, alright? For now, letâs just get some sleep. Maybe itâll come to me in a dream or something.âÂ
âA dream? Seriously?â Steve looks at the two of you as if you guys will start laughing and tell him itâs all a giant joke. Unfortunately, it isnât.Â
Steve spent all last year and most of the summer getting to know you. Heâs used to your quips and soft spoken teasing, but Dustin? Heâs uncharted territory and youâre secretly relishing in seeing Steve fumble around him. Youâve never had anyone else interact with your brother before, only Jonathan, so this change is odd, but welcomed.Â
Dustin pays no attention to you and Steve as he begins heading up the steps, back to your home. Once he disappears, you nudge your shoulder against Steveâs. âYou know you donât actually have to spend the night, right?â
âYa know, I canât quite tell if the kid will let me leave or not.â
You laugh. âHeâs harmless⊠Mostly. I promise I wonât let him bite, but I also understand if you want to leave.â
Steve looks away, sensing the undertones of what youâre saying. Youâre giving him another out, one last chance to leave and go back to pretending like everything's okay. You wouldnât blame him, and you get a sense of deja-vu from that night at Jonathanâs. When you tried coaxing Steve to leave, to spare himself from everything he inevitably ended up suffering from.Â
After a minute or so, Steve shakes his head. âIâll stay. You need my help.â
âWell, I wouldnât say needââ
âShut up and let me help you, Y/N.â
You sigh. Thereâs no arguing with him, heâs made up his mind and your truce that you shook on ten minutes ago burns your hand. Heâs staying.Â
âA âpleaseâ wouldâve sufficed, but fine.â You link your arm around Steveâs and make your way up the cellar steps. âCâmon, Dustin is probably waiting for us with some new insane plan for where youâll sleep.â
âÂ
You know that your mom is safe, off at the other side of town, searching for your dead cat, but itâs still lonely walking into your empty home. Dustin is standing in the living room waiting, but you can see that it makes him uneasy as well.Â
Steve follows behind you and takes a look around. When he spots the lumpy, old, sagging couch in front of the window, he frowns. Itâs barely bigger than he is, his feet would definitely hang over the edge. âThis my bed for tonight?â
âItâll have to be, unless you want to come snuggle with me in my bed.â Dustin says.Â
âI wouldnât, he kicks in his sleep,â you tell Steve, attempting to make light of the situation.Â
âThat doesnât surprise me,â he snorts. Then, as if heâs done this a million times before, Steve flings himself onto your couch and his feet do indeed hang over the edge. âOh, yeah. This will definitely be cozy.â
You wince. âIâm sorry, youâre still free to go home. I completely understand andââ
âUnlessâŠâ Dustin begins to brighten up and he wiggles his eyebrows at you. Pure horror washes over you; you know that look on his face. Heâs scheming.Â
âDustin, whatever is about to come out of your mouthââ
âY/N has this giant bean bag in her room. Practically takes up the whole space, and, luckily for you, my new friend, itâs Steve-sized.â
Steve whips his head to face you, a curious look on his face. âYou donât say, Little Henderson?â
Both boys look at you, a matching glint of evil in their eyes, and you realize youâre trapped. When did they manage to sync up to make you miserable?
You weigh your options against your morals. On one hand, itâs your room and you and Steve are still warming back up to each other. However, on the other hand, Jonathan has spent countless nights on that bean bag himself.Â
Dustinâs right. Steve would fit perfectly.Â
Damn him.Â
You shuffle your feet, averting Steveâs eyes. âI mean, I guess youâd fit.âÂ
âYou guess? Steve, sheâs had Jonathan sleep on that thing like a bajillion times.â Dustin waves his arms out, gleeful that heâs won. ïżœïżœIn fact, I think our mom specifically bought it just for him.â
He now steps closer to Steve and eyes him up and down. âIâd bet money that you two are about the same size, so as I stated earlier: itâs Steve-sized.â
âIâm actually taller than him, soâŠâ Steve mumbles to no one in particular, but quickly clears his throat and changes the subject. âAnd Iâd finally be able to see Y/N Hendersonâs room? Count me in.â
You blush furiously. Heâs getting a kick out of all of this and heâs such a little shit, honestly. Youâre not sure why the thought of having Steve Harrington in your room, eager to be in your room, makes your stomach flutter and your cheeks burn painfully.Â
Steve sees your blush and he wiggles his eyebrows at you. âCâmon, Y/N. Itâll be like a sleepover.â
âYouâre far too pleased about all of this.â
âWe can pretend to be back at Bookstrordinary. Iâll even stack some books that you definitely have in your room.â
Dustin stands between you and Steve, his face alight with joy and curiosity. âCan I please know when you two became best friends?â
âNo, you hid Dart from me.â
âIâm not gonna live that down, am I?â
âNope.â
Steve clears his throat, clearly amused by your banter with Dustin but still unsure about everything going on. âSo⊠What do ya say, Y/N?â
You bite your lip and look at him. Heâs pathetically too large for the couch, it wouldnât be fair to just force him to sleep there because of the weird way he makes you feel as if youâre floating yet falling all at the same time.Â
Exhaling, you give in. âFine, but do not touch any of my books in the room.â
âYes!â Steve high fives Dustin and you roll your eyes at them both.Â
âYeah, yeah. Whatever. Itâs late, can we please just go to bed now?â
Dustin sends you a wink, which thankfully Steve doesnât see. âSure, sis. Have a good night.â
And with that, probably because he senses youâre about to throw a shoe at him, Dustin flees the living room and runs to his room. As soon as heâs gone, Steve bats his eyelashes at you and playfully teases, âTake me to bed, Y/N.â
You snort, despite how exhausted you are. âNever say those words to me again.â
He laughs and stands up, following behind you as you guide him towards your own room. A part of you feels like you should give him a house tour, but logistically itâd be useless. You canât imagine that Steve would be over at your house again once the Dart situation is handled.Â
You have to remind yourself that there are still roses for Nancy, currently wilting, in the backseat of Steveâs car.Â
Theyâll work things out eventually, or maybe they wonât, but Nancy Wheeler still has Steve Harringtonâs heart. He is herâs entirely.Â
Lost in thought, you almost miss the turn to your room and have to grab the back of Steveâs jacket and yank him towards your bedroom door.Â
âHeyââÂ
âSorry, my room is here.âÂ
âYou Hendersons are just a delightful bunch, ya know that?âÂ
âBe thankful you donât have to meet our mother, honestly.â You fling your bedroom door open and gently push Steve inside.Â
As soon as heâs in your room, you watch as he takes it all in. His eyes scan every corner of the room, and you hold your breath as you wait for them to land on the Spider-Man poster he gave you for Christmas last year.Â
When Steve sees it, he smiles shyly at you. âI see you kept the gift.â
âDuh,â you walk over to your bed and sit down. âStill one of the best gifts Iâve ever been given.â
âOne of?â He asks, tone light but curious.Â
Unconsciously, your fingers go to your bee necklace from Jonathan. You play with the pendant and smile softly. âSorry, Jonathan kinda beat you to it.â
âI figured,â he shrugs, shoving his hands in his pockets, uncomfortable. âI noticed the necklace the day I gave you the poster. Didnât want to, uh, assume. I guess. But the necklace was from him?â
âIt was,â you clear your throat, talking about Jonathan with Steve has always been such a foreign feeling for you.Â
Steve seems to be thinking the same thing and starts to wander around your room instead. You silently thank whatever god is up there for giving you the motivation to clean your room earlier that week. Normally youâre a neat person, but ever since Will started showing signs of post-traumatic stress, youâve spent more time obsessively researching rather than tidying up.
Therefore, thereâs still books strewn across your desk alongside some comics. Steve sees a Spidey one and holds it up with a laugh. âHeâs everywhere.â
âHe is.â You say proudly, now getting up to go into your closet to pull out the blankets and pillows usually reserved for Jonathan.
Steve wanders around some more as you dig through your closet. He lingers in front of your dresser, which holds photos of you, Dustin, and Jonathan.Â
âHere,â you hand the bedding to Steve and motion to where the bean bag is.Â
He looks up from a photo of you and Jonathan from last year. Itâs your favorite of the two of you, he stands behind you in the picture with his arms wrapped around your waist and his chin on your shoulder. Youâre both smiling widely at the camera, the moment captured by Will because he wanted to try out the camera Jonathan had gotten that summer.Â
âYou guys are really close, huh?â Steve asks.
You nod, although confused by his question. He spent half the summer with you and Jonathan at your job. You had conversations about your friendship together, but you suppose itâs different seeing the excess of love you have for the boy within your room. Jonathan is everywhere, if you look hard enough, youâll find him.Â
Steve pauses for a second, as if he wants to say something else, but shakes his head and turns towards the bean bag. He arranges the pillows so that theyâre flush against the wall facing your bed, which you think is an odd choice, but say nothing. Once heâs arranged the pillows and blankets, Steve turns to you and clears his throat.Â
âI hate to ask this, I really do, but I also donât want to sleep in these jeans,â he waves his hands over his pants, which have always been a bit tighter than you thought was necessary. âAny chance I could wear something of Jonathanâs?â
You think for a moment and dig through your dresser. âIâm not sure, but if I canât find anything of his then I think my old camp t-shirt can fit. As for pants, wonât your boxers work fine?â
Steveâs face turns red and he clears his throat once more, speaking in a slightly squeaky voice, âYâyeah, I guess so.â
Heâs stumbling over his words, which makes you pause. Thereâs no possible way that heâs nervous right now. Heâs usually so confident and comfortable around you. Hell, last summer he offered to be your first kiss (by kissing his fingers and pressing them against your lips, but still).Â
âAre you shy right now, Steve?â
âWhat? No!â He scrambles to the other side of the room, putting as much distance between the two of you as he can.Â
You raise your eyebrows at him, but your cheeks are flushed as well. âOkay then, whatever you say.âÂ
Itâs painfully quiet after that as you continue looking for something for Steve to wear. You swear that Jonathan has left behind some of his things, and right before you lose hope, you spot a pair of gray sweats and an old The Clash t-shirt of his.Â
âHere,â you toss the clothes to Steve without even checking if heâs looking. You hear a crash and know that he, in fact, had not been looking.Â
âGee, thanks.â He says sarcastically, but you giggle.Â
âNo problem,â you begin to gather your own pajamas before pointing towards your door. âThereâs a bathroom to the left, down the hall. You can change there.âÂ
âThen our sleepover can commence?â
You wave him off, but you smile anyway at his question. You missed his boyish charms. âSure, buddy. Go change.â
Steve salutes you and then leaves the room, softly closing the door behind him. You change while heâs gone and tie your hair up. After a few minutes, you assume Steve has had enough time to change and make your way over to the bathroom so you can brush your teeth. Youâre so excited to go to bed.Â
However, the door is closed when you approach, meaning Steve is still changing. You knock on the door, âAre you almost done in there?â
âIâm having⊠problems.âÂ
Your hand hovers over the door, mid knock. âProblems?â
Thereâs only silence for a moment, almost as if Steve is contemplating elaborating. Finally, after several seconds, he says âIâm definitely taller than Byers.âÂ
You roll your eyes and begin knocking again, just to annoy Steve, until he finally swings the door open. Before you can even stop it, a loud laugh escapes you. The sweats are at least five inches too short on him, while Jonathanâs shirt is a size too small. He looks absolutely ridiculous.Â
âItâs not funny!â Steve whines, his face once again red. âI thought you gave me Jonathanâs clothes, Y/N!âÂ
More laughter escapes you, making your ribs begin to hurt. Every time you try to speak, you laugh even harder, and itâs impossible for you to get any words out. Steve watches, not amused in the slightest, and crosses his arms as if to appear more dignified.Â
âIâm sorry,â you manage to gasp out, more laughs threatening to spill from you. âI guess theyâre clothes from when he was fourteen.â
âIâm reconsidering our truce from earlier.âÂ
This gets you to stop laughing, and you gasp and smack Steveâs chest. âYou wouldnât dare!â
He sighs, hanging his head low. âNo, I wouldnât.â
âExactly,â his admission makes you giddy. âNow, either make yourself cozy in the bean bag or watch as I brush my teeth. Your choice.â
Steve shrugs and steps to the side so that thereâs room for you to enter the bathroom. Itâs a tight fit, but he ends up sitting on the edge of the tub and just watches as you begin the process of brushing your teeth. âI didnât actually think youâd stay, ya know.â
âI know, but Iâm bored and youâre here.â
You spit into the sink. âFair, I guess.â
âPlus,â he picks at his nails, trying to look disinterested while wearing Jonathanâs too small clothes. âWe still need to have that talk.â
You pause, toothbrush hanging from your lips as you stare at Steve, wide eyed, in the mirror. Honestly, you were hoping he wouldâve forgotten about that. Itâs not that you donât want to know whatever he has to tell you, but youâre tired and still reeling over the fact that heâs spending the entire night in your room.Â
âOh, right.â Turning the faucet off, you finish brushing your teeth and awkwardly wipe your face. Steve watches quietly, and once youâre done, you motion for him to follow you back towards your room.Â
As soon as youâre back in your room, Steve immediately curls himself upon the bean bag and brings the blanket all the way up to his chin. Dustin, as always, is right: the bean bag truly is Steve-sized. âCozy.â
You laugh at him as you crawl into your own bed. âYeah, Iâd hope so. Jonathan has slept in it for years now.â
âWell, uh. Speaking of JonathanâŠâ Steve sits up a bit so that he can properly look at you. âI wanted to talk. Ya know⊠About you and him. Nancy, too.â
He pauses, furrows his brows, and then adds. âActually, I want to talk about what really happened this summer. Everything. I want to know everything.â
âEverything is a lot,â you dodge, turning away from the boy.Â
Steve sighs. âY/N⊠I missed you.â
Missed.
âI want to be friends again, be how we were before, but⊠I donât know. There was a lot unsaid between us. Even from the start. I mean, I understand. I do.â His eyes never leave yours, despite how much you try not to look back at him. âYouâre, wellâIf weâre going to be friends again, I want to start from the beginning.â
âThe beginning?â
Now Steve is the one who looks away. âI donât know, itâs stupid, I guessââ
âItâs not stupid, Steve.â You reassure him. Heâs trying, heâs inviting you in after everything you did to him, and itâs all you couldâve asked for.Â
But youâre fucking terrified.Â
You and Steve became close before, sure, but it was something more surface level. An act between the two of you. While Steve was able to read you over time, learning and asking and paying attention to you, there was still so much you never let him in on. What you havenât let anyone in on, besides Jonathan.Â
If you start from the beginning with Steve, someone you know has come to view you as this selfless and kind person, youâre scared that itâll change the way he sees you.Â
But Steve is looking at you from the bean bag, looking ridiculously cozy with the blanket wrapped around him and his usually carefully curated hair has fallen in his eyes; his gaze is open and trusting. There isnât a pressure behind it, he would understand if you backed down, but you promised him youâd try.Â
To try is to be human.
And you really, really missed Steve.Â
âI moved here when I was twelve. My family and I had moved all the way from Virginia after the divorce. I remember being really mean, back then. An angry kid with all this hurt within her that she perpetually displaced upon everyone else.âÂ
âAngry?â Steve asks, his voice soft.Â
You shift uncomfortably in bed, but you remind yourself that you agreed to this. If youâre going to begin again with Steve, then he deserves to know the true person heâs befriending. âAngry. I didnât take the divorce well. At all. I acted out a lot, closed myself off, and was just a fucking awful person.â
Shifting again, you take a deep breath. âMy anger got to the point where Dustin, who was nine, had to practically plead with me to be nicer to him. He was a kid.â
âSo were you,â Steve gently chimes in, but you roll your eyes at him.Â
âBeing a kid didnât give me an excuse to abandon my loved ones like I did. Like my father did. It wasnât until Dustin called me out on my bullshit that I realized the irony of the situation. There I was, blaming everyone else for my own problems and running away, because I was so hurt by my father doing the same to me.â
Steve clenches his jaw, and you know he wants to say more, but you watch as he exhales deeply and decides against it. âOkay, so you were mean and then you became kind again after something traumatic⊠So what?â
âIâm sorry?â
âI mean,â the boy sighs. âI was a dick for like, ten consecutive years. It took losing a fight to Jonathan, embarrassing myself in front of Nancy at least five times, losing my bullshit âfriendsâ Tommy and Carol, and some blonde guy with a fucking mullet before I was even able to become a decent person.âÂ
You frown. âWhatâs your point?âÂ
âMy point is that you came back.â Steve shrugs. âThe second someone you loved asked you to, you came back to being the selfless angel that you are. Which, by the way, is an impressive feat in itself.âÂ
He says this as if itâs obvious and that the months you spent hurting everyone around you can be redeemed. As if you havenât spent every waking hour tirelessly devoting every piece of yourself to those around you to make up for them. To repent for your anger.Â
Steve takes your silence as more defiance, and he runs a tired hand through his hair. Heâs merely a few feet from you, at the foot of your bed on the bean bag, and yet it feels as if heâs inches yet yards away. âI know I canât change your mind, but⊠I think thatâs what matters the most in the end, ya know? You became kind.âÂ
âSo did you,â you finally say, not quite ready to accept what heâs saying.Â
Now itâs Steve who looks away. âStill working on the whole âkindâ thing.â
âIsnât that what matters in the end?â You tease, feeling yourself warm with pride when you get him to laugh.Â
âTouche.âÂ
Silence falls over the two of you, letting the tension lazily slip away for now. Your body hums with energy; the only other person youâve told about your father to is Jonathan. You both have long since bonded over shitty father figures. However, even when you had whispered these truths to Jonathan back when you were thirteen, you donât remember feeling quite so raw and vulnerable as you do right now with Steve.Â
âI meant it, you know,â you catch Steveâs eye. âBack when you first drove me home last year. Youâre alright. Not too shabby, honestly.â
This time a full body laugh cascades through the boy, He clutches at his stomach as he doubles over, breathless with joy. âThanks, Y/N.âÂ
Steve is still laughing and this is the happiest you think youâve seen him in months. The realization makes all the warmth youâve felt earlier, vanish. You remember the hurt on his face earlier this week on Halloween, the tears in his eyes when he confessed that Nancy didnât love him.Â
You know how plagued Steve is about never being good enough, and for the first time since youâve truly gotten to know him: you understand him in that very moment.Â
Your eye catches on Steveâs adamâs apple as he swallows. Itâs a tragedy, really, how attractive he is. You suppose itâs what caused his downfall, in the end. A pretty boy, rich and popular yet easily able to be taken down; it must be a lonely life with all that vulnerability.
âCan I tell you a secret?â You whisper, voice cutting through the darkness of your room as Steve seems to remember where he is, why and how the conversation started in the first place.Â
âAlways,â
âIâm scared of the compulsive need I feel to take care of everyone. Itâs like⊠I donât know, this debt that I feel I owe for existing, for the fear I feel because of my father leaving. I overcompensate for this fear now, terrified Iâll become mean again.â
Steve stares at your ceiling. âThe whole âdebtâ thing, I understand. Believe me. Rather than being a perfect angel, however, I just try my fucking hardest not to disappoint everyone around me and make them leave.â
Nancy, as she always seems to do, lingers between you and Steve now; you both can feel her presence without him having to say her name. He told you what she did to him, you tried to reassure him that it hadnât been his fault, but Steve isnât an idiot.Â
Nancy never loved him. He knows this, now.Â
You donât say anything, you donât think heâd want you to. Giving him some time, you allow Steve a few minutes to collect his thoughts, sensing he has more to say. Then, softly, he whispers back to you, âCan I tell you a secret?â
âAlways,â you echo.Â
âI just want to be loved.âÂ
With just one confession, a string of six words in succession, Steve Harrington crushes you.Â
The words come crashing upon your chest and you wish you could tell him how easily you see yourself falling for him. How, even if you canât admit it just yet, youâre already falling for him. You think you have been for some time now.Â
Somewhere, in between him driving you home last year and the way the summer sun kissed his face months later, you began to fall in love with him.Â
While youâre thinking this, Steve is laying in the bean bag, absolutely terrified of the words that have come out of his mouth. Heâs always had the fear, deep down, that he was unlovable, but to admit the fear out loud⊠Heâs never felt so weak before.
Youâre silent and Steve thinks heâs finally done it. His pathetic need to be liked and loved by everyone around him has finally scared you away. How couldnât it scare you away? You so naturally are loved by everyone while Steve compulsively demands it because heâs still that scared ten year old boy with a father who never showed him love.Â
Then, because youâre an angel, you give Steve the response he hadnât even known he needed to hear. âItâs natural to want to be loved. We all do. Itâs human.â
He exhales at your words, still staring at the ceiling as if to somehow lessen the impact of what youâre telling him. Thereâs something there, hanging in the air after your words have disappeared, that Steve canât quite understand.Â
It almost sounded like you were trying to reassure yourself, as well.
âWhatâs the deal with you and Jonathan?â Though Steveâs voice is steady, you can tell that heâs trying not to sound too interested.Â
The question is a simple one, but itâs the hardest question youâve ever had to answer. Everyone asks you, sooner or later, if you and Jonathan are together. You never blame them for asking, because ultimately the two of you are closer than the average friends, regardless of gender.Â
It doesnât make the question any less painful to answer, though. It doesnât make hearing Jonathanâs laugh cut any less deeper.
As for Steve, heâs asked this question before, albeit with teasing and disbelief whenever youâve told him thereâs nothing there. Despite the numerous times youâve corrected him, heâs never quite believed you.
This time, it feels different. Thereâs a weight behind Steveâs question, and your silence is all the answer that he needs. âYou love him.â
The words arenât a question, and they harbor no malice. He says them as if they are a fact; you suppose that it is. You donât say anything, but you do nod your head at him. âI do⊠I think Iâve always loved him, honestly.â
Youâve never, ever said those words out loud. Not to anyone.
And now, youâre confessing them to Steve, who doesnât have to ask you why your voice now holds melancholy within it. He knows, heâs always somehow known. Jonathan doesnât love you, a fact in which Steve has never been able to wrap his head around. Heâs watched the two of you for years, how easily you love one another, and yet somehow the love never blossomed into something more.Â
Everything stills between you and Steve, allowing both your confessions to surround the two of you. âIâm sorry.â
Steveâs apology only causes you to shrug. âHeâs still mine, at least for now. Is that so bad?â
âI mean, I guess not, but⊠Doesnât it get exhausting?â
âGod,â you squeeze your eyes shut, finally able to voice all youâve been feeling to someone who can understand. âIt feels like this crushing weight upon me every time I see him smile, like itâs a burden, carrying all this love within me without being able to express it freely. I just⊠I never thought that love could be so exhausting. â
As the words start to come out, you find that youâre unable to stop. âI grew up with Jonathan, I learned the way he breathes and the way his hands feel pressed against my skin, but so much has changed andâŠâ Your breath hitches. âHeâs not someone I reach out to first anymore. It almost feels like I canât. I love him, I do, but I also miss how it used to be before I realized everything.â
The pressure of tears builds behind your eyes and forces you to stop talking. If you say anything else, youâre afraid youâll start crying. While Steve has been so lovely tonight, it wouldnât be fair to ask him to console you so pathetically.Â
Steve seems to hear the tears lacing your voice and speaks for you, having finally pieced together everything heâs been unable to articulate since November of last year. âWith Nance, it feels like Iâm always somehow two steps behind her and her feelings. Constantly playing catch up while the rules keep changing on me⊠I get the whole âlove is exhaustingâ thing.â
Though you know Steve means well, his words fucking terrify you. If he feels the same way towards Nancy, a girl who never ended up loving him despite how much he poured his heart out for her, what does that mean for you and Jonathan?
For the first time, you question if the exhaustion you feel surrounding your love for the boy is really something else. Something different, disguised as exhaustion.Â
You wonder, deep down, if youâve started to fall out of love with Jonathan.
Who are you if you have?
The boy has become so intertwined within your life, the threads and strings and lines have tied you to him indefinitely. Heâs the reason behind your everything. If you no longer love Jonathan, then who are you, really?
The realization washes over you like cold rain in the middle of winter. It spills over you and pricks at your skin and you suddenly want the conversation to end. While youâre so relieved to be talking to Steve again, the conversation has left you with more realizations than resolutions.Â
âItâs late,â you fake a yawn, desperate to cut the conversation short. âWe should go to bed. Knowing Dustin, heâll have us up at the crack of dawn to start looking for Dart.â
Steve sees right through you, he knows heâs somehow crossed a line and that youâre once again retreating. Youâre closing yourself off from him again, but heâll take whatever he can get from you. Youâve told him more than he ever thought you would, so for now heâll play along.Â
âGoodnight, Y/N.â He says, watching as you reach for your lamp and turn the light off. Then, as soon as youâve rolled over and closed your eyes, you faintly hear his final words. âDonât we make a pathetic pair?âÂ
You remember, before drifting off to sleep, feeling relief wash over you that Steve once again considers the two of you a pair.
âÂ
You wake up the next morning to the faint sounds of Dustin getting ready. His shower can be heard from your room, and through the years it's become your morning alarm. Yawning, you roll over and rub your eyes and take a few minutes to let your brain wake up.Â
Bits of yesterdayâs events come back to you.Â
Dustin confessing about Dart.Â
Locking the Demodog in your cellar.Â
Radioing everyone in the party for help and getting no response.Â
Going to the Wheelers for Mike and coming back with Steve.Â
Dart going missing.Â
And, most importantly, your bizarre conversation with Steve last night.Â
The boy in question lets out a loud snore from the bean bag, blankets haphazardly twisted around his legs, and you stifle a laugh. Even in his sleep, Steve Harrington somehow catches all the attention in the room. Â
You throw your blanket off and get out of bed, tiptoeing so as to not wake up the sleeping beauty, and head outside to your kitchen. If yesterday was any indication of how long today will be, then you need all the coffee in the world to get through it.Â
The coffee has just finished brewing when you hear Steve stumble into the kitchen. His eyes are bleary and his hair is the worst itâs ever looked. âI guess even Steve âThe Hairâ Harrington canât escape bed head, huh?â
Steve acknowledges your quip only by grunting, still stumbling around through your home. So he isnât a morning person, you think with a smile while bringing your coffee mug to your lips and taking a careful sip.Â
Eventually Steve makes it to your kitchen table and plops down, letting out a loud yawn and smacking his lips. He looks pathetically endearing, really, especially given his outfit that looks even worse after sleeping in it. The shirt has ridden further up, exposing a bit of his stomach (which you divert your gaze from, feeling yourself blush), and one of his too-short pant legs has ridden up to his knee.Â
âYou really are a natural beauty in the morning, Steve.âÂ
âHa,â he says boredly, looking around the kitchen. âDo you guys have any food? Iâm starving.âÂ
You toss him an apple from the fruit basket on the counter, and Steve only just manages to catch it in time to avoid it hitting his face.
âChrist!â He exclaims, glaring at you when you chuckle at his reaction. Maybe it was a little mean, but you see the small smile he tries to hide.Â
âIs this all I get? An apple thrown at my face?â
You walk over to the table and set your mug down. âWere you expecting a home cooked meal?âÂ
âYouâll have to earn a Y/N Henderson breakfast,â Dustin says as he enters the kitchen and joins the two of you. His hair is still wet from his shower and he drips onto the counter, which makes you cringe. Heâs such a boy, sometimes.Â
He makes his way over to the fridge and rustles around, looking for something to eat. Truthfully, the reason you threw the apple at Steve is because thereâs no food in your house at the moment. Your mom normally goes to the grocery store on Saturdays, and in her frantic rush to find Mews she hadn't left any money for you to go to the store.Â
âThereâs no food,â you inform your brother.Â
He sighs dejectedly, grabbing a banana and then plopping himself next to Steve at the table. âAll right, are you two awake enough to discuss the plan?âÂ
You nod immediately at Dustinâs question while Steve slumps further into his seat, groaning. You run a hand through his hair to try and settle down his theatrics. Dustin sees this and raises an eyebrow at you, but you shake your head and motion for him to keep quiet.Â
âSo,â he takes a bite from his banana and begins speaking with his mouth full, which you make a face at. âI was thinking we lure Dart with bait to a secure area that we can catch him in.âÂ
âWait,â Steve sits up a bit in his seat, careful to not knock your hand off his head. âThatâs all you got? Thatâs the entire plan?â
âYes. Is there a problem?âÂ
âOh, I donât know,â he begins eating as well, his mouth also full and disgusting to look at, âDo you know how weâll lure him? Or where? Better yet, how will we even catch him?âÂ
Dustin narrows his eyes. âOkay, so itâs a working idea. You got anything better?â
Steve opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. He pauses for a second before seemingly drawing a blank and closing his mouth; he sinks back into his seat in defeat.
âThatâs what I thought.â Dustin says smugly.
You take another sip of coffee, enjoying the mugâs warmth around your fingers. âWell, we at least know what Dart likes to eat.â
âWe do?â Steve questions, looking up at you.
âOh, just wait until you hear this,â you motion over to Dustin. âGo on, tell Steve what youâve been feeding Dart.â
Now itâs your brotherâs turn to sink into his seat, embarrassed. He mumbles something that Steve canât quite hear.
âWhat?â
He mumbles again, only a tiny bit louder this time.
âLittle Henderson, I canât understand you.â Steve says, smirking when he feels you laugh against him.Â
âI said he eats Musketeers Bars!â Dustin shouts, now incredibly defensive.Â
In sync, you and Steve share a look. While you have an exasperated fondness on your face, Steve looks like heâs questioning every choice heâs made in his life. Itâs cute that he thinks this is the weirdest things will get.
âOkayâŠâ Steve looks over at your brother. âUnless you plan on buying out an entire candy store, we need something else for bait.â
In the corner of your eye you see Mewsâ cat bed laying against the window, and an idea pops into your head. âDustin, did Dart only eat the candy bars before he killed our cat?â
âYeah, why?âÂ
As you walk over to the kitchen sink to place your mug in it, you begin explaining. âThen clearly heâs outgrown his sugar needs and would probably eat just about anything with flesh on it.â
Steve wrinkles his face with displeasure, not enjoying the thought of going after this monster that craves meat. Heâs already done that, and call him crazy, but he really doesnât want to experience anything like that ever again.Â
Dustinâs eyes light up, following along with what youâre saying. âRaw meat! Youâre a genius, Y/N!âÂ
âAnd then we can follow the train tracks to that old junkyard, the one that El brought you guys to last year. Itâs a straight shot, Dart wonât get lost, and then we catch him.â
Dustin squeals. âThatâs perfect!â
He stands up to hug you, which you gladly accept. âYeah, yeah. We Hendersons are known for our genius,â you gently push your brother away and start exiting the kitchen. âIâm going to go shower and get ready. Steve, youâll take Dustin to the butcher and see if you can haggle some raw meat out of him.âÂ
âUh⊠can I change first?â He asks, running a hand through his hair with displeasure.Â
Only now does Dustin notice Steveâs appearance and he lets out a loud cackle. âOh, I think you look great!â
You shoot your brother a warning look, not wanting to upset Steve too much. Heâs the only one with a car, and the party still hasnât responded to Dustinâs calls, so heâs all you have right now. Plus, after last nightâs conversation, youâre sure heâs feeling just as wound up and tense as you are.Â
âWe can swing by your place on our way to the train tracks. Your house is right next to it, anyways, and Dustin and I can scout the parameters while you shower and get yourself all pretty. For now, just go to the butcher's shop, please.âÂ
âButââÂ
âPlease, Steve?â You pout, daring him to argue with you again. Steve is only able to stand his ground for about five seconds before he groans and nods his head.
âFineââ You quickly hug him before running towards the bathroom to get ready.Â
Once youâre gone, Steve searches for his keys while Dustin stands in the kitchen, shocked. âI so need to know when you two became such good pals.â
âGo wait by the car, Little Henderson.â Steve waves him off, though heâs secretly pleased with how the morning is turning out so far.
â
âCâmon, man. Itâs just chunks of raw meat, it doesnât even matter what, uh, body parts they are, I guess.â Steve argues with the butcher, having no idea why youâve sent him on this journey with Dustin. Neither of them have any idea about butchers and meat, so theyâve been arguing back and forth for a solid ten minutes with the guy.Â
âAnd I already told you, itâll be $15. Take it or leave it, pretty boy.â Pat, the butcher, says.Â
Steve scowles at the name, âThatâs insane for five pounds, you realize that? Itâs just a bunch of meat chunks from god knows where, itâs not like we want prime rib you dirty sack ofââÂ
Dustin cuts him off, snatching the boyâs wallet from his back pocket and pulling out a twenty. âIgnore him, please! Here, thank you so much for your lovely service, good sir.â
Pat narrows his eyes at the boy, and for a split second Dustin is afraid that heâs trying to figure out the best way to skin them alive, before he simply grunts and takes the money.Â
Relief washes over Dustin and he scrambles to grab the bags of meat, tugging at Steveâs sleeve in urgence until he gives in and begins to help as well. Within a few seconds, theyâve gathered all they need and head towards the car.Â
âKeep the change!â Dustin calls out behind him.Â
As soon as theyâre in the car, he yells at Steve to step on it. Itâs already been twenty minutes since they left the house, and he knows from experience to never keep you waiting.Â
âOkay, okay, god.â Steve complies, pushing down on the gas and speeding away from the butcherâs shop.Â
The smell of raw meat immediately infiltrates the car, so Steve rolls down the windows and sighs. This is definitely not the weekend he had in mind. He thought heâd apologize to Nancy, kiss and hopefully make up, and maybe even swing by your place to tell you the good news.Â
Instead, he has buckets of raw meat in his car and his head is swimming from his conversation with you from last night. While heâs happy it happened, thereâs still so much Steve feels like you arenât telling him. To top it all off, he hadnât been able to sleep in his own bed, but rather a bean bag that Jonathan apparently has slept in a million times before.Â
As Steve is moping, he realizes that there actually wasnât even a real need to spend the night.Â
âHey, Little Henderson,â Steve gently hits Dustinâs shoulder to get his attention. âWhy did I have to spend the night at your place?âÂ
âOh, you didnât.â Dustin says as if itâs no big deal.
Steve turns his head towards him, âIâm sorry, what?â
âYeah, I didnât think youâd actually spend the night if weâre being honest. I just thought itâd be funny to mess with you.âÂ
âI tried arguing with you, but you shushed me!â Steve exclaims, putting both hands back on the steering wheel aggressively.Â
The younger boy shrugs, âWhat are you, seventeen? Eighteen? Why would you listen to a thirteen year old?âÂ
âWell, Iââ As much as he wants to, Steve really canât defend himself on this one. Shit. Itâs not like he can tell Dustin that he mostly stayed because his sister is pretty and makes him feel safe.
Dustin smiles, happy to have won the conversation at hand, and decides to really rub it in as they pull up to the house. âI also thought itâd be hilarious to pair you up with my sister. Hope you two made smart choices last night.â
And with those words, Dustin springs out the car, leaving a speechless Steve behind. He turns the car off and sits there for a moment, completely at a loss for words. Heâs only spent a total of sixteen hours with the kid, and already he knows heâs in for a world more of trouble.Â
If youâre Hawkinsâ sweetheart, then Dustin is the townâs horribly terrifying weasel.Â
Meanwhile, youâve just finished lacing up your shoes when Dustin walks in.
âWhere are the rubber gloves that mom likes?â He asks in lieu of greeting you.Â
âIn the closet, second shelf, next to her cat figurines. Whereâs Steve?â
Dustin rustles around the closet and pulls out three sets of gloves, âIn the car, moping.âÂ
Thereâs a crash and then he tosses two buckets onto the carpet. You crouch down and grab the buckets, placing them on the table. âWhy is he moping?â
âWhy is who moping?â The man in question walks in, throwing himself on the couch and narrowly dodging the third bucket that Dustin throws out. âWhy do you guys keep throwing shit at me, jesus!âÂ
âLanguage! Thereâs kids around,â You snap your fingers at Steve, who quickly cowers in shame. âAnd if it makes any difference, the bucket wasnât intentional. The rest were, though.âÂ
Just as Dustin is finishing up in the closet, you spot a can of gasoline and an idea sparks in your head. If you learned anything at Jonathanâs house last year, itâs that these Demogorgon things really hate fire. âHey, grab the gasoline as well.â
He does as heâs told, no questions asked, and then hands it to you. You add it to the pile on the table, along with two backpacks from your brother and your beloved switchblade.Â
Steve gets up from the couch to investigate your stash, nodding approvingly. âNot bad, guys. What are we going to put in the backpacks, though?âÂ
Dustin goes into the kitchen and begins grabbing the few items within it. The remaining fruits in the basket, a few pieces of bread, a bag of chips, and some water bottles. âOne bag will have our food, the other will have our weapons.âÂ
And with that, you guys are all set to head out. While Dustin is distracted with grabbing his backpack, you run towards Steveâs car and throw yourself into the passenger seat. Every man for himself.Â
âWhatâ Y/N!â He calls after you, but heâs too late. Youâve already buckled yourself up by the time he and Steve get into the car themselves.Â
âShe beat ya, buddy.â Steve teases, flashing you a proud smile.Â
Dustin grumbles in the backseat, unamused, and for a moment you think heâll leave it at that. However, because heâs Dustin, you see from the rearview mirror as his eyes spark with revenge. âSo, Steve.â
The tone in his voice terrifies you.Â
You place your head in your hands and sigh, mentally preparing for whatever your brother is about to say.Â
âYes, Dustin?â
âHow long have you been friendly with my sister?â
âDustin!â You whip your head around, lunging towards the back seat to swat at the boy, but he quickly scoots over to Steveâs side and avoids your hands.Â
Steve, however, surprises you by simply shrugging and taking the question in stride. Thereâs no embarrassment on his face, no ounce of hesitation in his voice. âAbout a year now.â
âA year?â Dustin exclaims, having completely not expected such a response. âY/N, how could you keep this from me?â
âShe didnât hide anything from you, buddy.â Steve defends you, eyes focused on the road. âI convinced her to be my friend after I saved her lifeââ
âYou saved her life?â
âAnd then bought you boys snacks at the hospital afterwards. Then, because I really wanted to be her friend, I basically stalked her at work every day and annoyed my way into her life. Weâve been pretty close ever since.â
Dustinâs jaw is practically on the ground after Steveâs quick explanation, left speechless for the first time in his life. As for you, youâre admiring the way the early morning sun causes Steve to glow. Youâll never be over how often his beauty distracts you; you wonder how Nancy, or really anyone, could deny him love.
If you didnât know Steve, if you passed by him on the street one day as complete strangers, youâre sure that a part of you would fall in love with him.Â
Even with pieces of his hair standing all over the place, his shirt still being too small, he was a delicate kind of handsome that made you feel a certain warmth.
âDid I forget anything, Y/N?â Steveâs voice breaks you from your thoughts, and you quickly divert your eyes away from the way his arms look while holding the steering wheel.Â
âNo, uh.â You clear your throat, still recovering. Steve seems to be in good spirits for once, itâs a breath of fresh air seeing him so content, and yet it also serves as a stark reminder that you made the right choice when you first distanced yourself from him. Heâs just too easy to love. âI think you pretty much covered everything. Unless Dustin has any questions?â
âGive me three to five business days to process this, please.â Your brother mumbles from the backseat, which you and Steve laugh at.Â
The rest of the ride is relatively peaceful after that, and a few minutes later you arrive at Steveâs house. Itâs different in the daylight, only ever having seen it late one night driving the boy home from the Halloween party.Â
Itâs a beautiful home, the smell of chlorine fills your nose. The pool, you remember Nancy mentioning his pool when she explained what happened to Barb. You shiver, now aware that youâre in the same place that your friend took her last breaths at, just a year ago.Â
âThe tracks are just over on the other side of the street, and I shouldnât be too long, so you Hendersons can start figuring out the plan in the meantime.â Steve instructs you and Dustin, getting out of the car and entering his house.Â
Dustin begins getting out as well, so you unbuckle your seatbelt and follow. Thankfully you decided to wear jeans today with a simple tank top and cardigan with your knit socks; though it was late October, itâs unusually sunny outside and the walk from Steveâs to the junkyard was easily four to five miles.Â
The two of you walk over to the tracks and you survey the area. Youâre not sure what exactly youâre looking for, but you figure itâs best to look focused in case Dustin yells at you.Â
âWeâll need to go that way,â Dustin points in front of you, and you nod as you follow along. âWe can drop the meat chunks every few sleepers so we donât waste any of it.âÂ
âSleepers?â
âThese.â Dustinâs shoe scrapes against the bottom wooden planks.Â
âYou would know what theyâre called.â
âHa ha, any more quips or can I continue?â
You put your hands up in surrender and Dustin begins to speak again.
âThen once we get to the junkyard, we can dump whatever meat is left in a pile and put the gasoline on it. Once Dart is distracted and eating, weâll light it on fire.â His words catch a bit at the end, and you suddenly feel bad for him. He clearly still cares about Dart, but you know your brother understands the risks of letting the Demodog live.Â
Without saying anything, you reach over and pull Dustin in for a hug. He fights it at first, but after a couple seconds he gives in and hugs you back. You arenât the most affectionate pair of siblings, but you love your younger brother fiercely. Not for the first time, you wish you couldâve done more to prevent him from discovering the Upside Down.Â
You know itâs irrational to blame yourself and feel guilty, but maybe if youâd been more involved last year, then maybe he wouldnât have so many nightmares.Â
âIâm sorry about Dart,â you say softly against his hat.Â
Dustin breaks away, shrugging his shoulders. âGotta protect the party, right?â
âRight.â You flick his hat. âCâmon, letâs go back to the car and start putting the meat in the buckets.âÂ
True to his word, Steve is ready to go after about twenty minutes. He walks out of his house, freshly clean and put together, right as you and Dustin finish preparing the bait. He approaches from behind you, and you can smell his cologne. Memories from when heâd have his arms around you and youâd smell the familiar scent now wash over you.Â
Clearing your throat, you turn to hand him gloves and a bucket, but almost drop it when you see him.Â
He looks good. Like, frustratingly good. His hair is back in its usual style, but heâs wearing a dark blue polo and a gray jacket that fits him criminally well. You almost feel underdressed standing next to him with your ratty old cardigan, which you know is ridiculous to be concerned about. Plus, youâve always known that Steve was attractive, so itâs stupid to be affected by it suddenly now.Â
You guys had one emotional conversation.Â
âY/N?âÂ
Steveâs staring at you quizzically, and you quickly snap out of your thoughts and hand him the bucket full of bait and instruct him to put the gloves on. He listens, dutifully putting them on and placing the bucket on the ground and starts searching for one of the backpacks in the trunk. Heâs seemingly in a much better mood now, which youâre thankful for.Â
âDustin! This is Lucas. Do you copy? Dustin?âÂ
Lucasâ voice rings out from Dustinâs walkie, and you perk your head up, relieved that heâs okay. The radio silence from the party was something that unnerved you immensely. With Dart on the loose, Willâs increasing episodes, who knows what else is happening in Hawkins at the moment?Â
âWell, well, well, look who it is.â Dustin responds, placing his hands on his hips like a disappointed mother. You chuckle at him and continue helping Steve unload the trunk.Â
You hear Lucas sigh into the walkie. âSorry, man. My stupid sister turned it off.âÂ
âTell Erica I say hi!â You call out, knowing Lucas will hear you. He always resented the fact that his sister is so nice to you. Youâre the only living person who didnât receive Ericaâs insane insults, which is something youâre very proud of.
âY/N?â
âHi, Lucas!âÂ
Dustin shoos you away and continues to speak. âWell, when you were having sister problems, which really arenât that hard to handleââÂ
âSays you,â you butt in.Â
âDart grew again, he escaped, and Iâm pretty sure heâs a baby Demogorgon.â Your brother finishes. By this point, you and Steve have pretty much unpacked everything in the car.Â
âWait, what?â Youâd kill to see the look on Lucasâ face right now.Â
âIâll explain later, just meet me, Y/N, and Steve at the old junkyard.â As Dustin wraps up the conversation, Steve shoves his bat into the bag and you watch him with disappointment. Heâs trying really hard to make it fit, and you almost pity the boy. Bless him.Â
Thereâs a pause before Lucas asks, âSteve?â
Dustin doesnât elaborate, instead instructing his friend to bring his binoculars and wrist rocket. You suppose itâs a good idea to add more weapons to your arsenal. Better safe than sorry.
âSteve Harrington?â Lucas asks again, this time even more confused.Â
âHeâs a friend,â you say, shoving your own weapons into the bag and slinging it over your shoulder.Â
Steve closes the trunk and says, âDamn straight I am. Alright, letâs go.â
You follow after him, saying goodbye to Lucas as Dustin tells him to be at the junkyard stat.Â
Dustin stashes his walkie in his own bag and then the three of you are off. Your brother and Steve walk a bit ahead of you as you all throw the meat chunks onto the ground, doing as Dustin instructed. Itâs slow work, but youâre happy to have some time to yourself while the boys are distracted with each other. Their friendship wasnât something youâd expect, but youâre incredibly happy about it.
You love the party, youâd do anything for them given all that youâve been through together. However, as they grow older, you canât help but notice how much theyâre changing. Mike hasnât been himself since El disappeared, Dustin is now hyper focused on science, Lucas is becoming his own person, and poor Will is just trying to recover from the trauma of last year.Â
Itâs been hard watching them grow apart, in a way. Nothing will ever be the same after the Upside Down, you know that, but watching the party slowly drift makes you sad for your brother. Youâre glad heâs seemingly found someone like Steve to bounce jokes off of and feel appreciated by. You know that someday the kids will all come together again, itâd be impossible not to with how strong of a connection they all have, so you try not to worry too much.
You shove the thoughts down, you need to keep focused on Dart and contacting the rest of the party. So, you dutifully place the bait down and follow behind the boys and feel the time pass by. After about an hour of nonsensical conversation between Steve and Dustin, you hear the older boy finally ask the question of why your brother even hid Dart in the first place.Â
âItâs complicated, okay?â Dustin defects, clearly uncomfortable with the change in conversation.
You keep your distance from them, but you keep an ear out just in case you need to intervene.Â
âYou claim you wanted to get famous off of it or whatever,â Steve drops meat onto the tracks and kicks his foot. âCall me crazy, but you donât hide something that supposedly makes you famous.âÂ
He has a point, and Dustin scrunches his face up. He casts a glance your way and you do your best to appear distracted by the job at hand. You know Dustinâs guilty face well, so whatever heâs about to tell Steve will be good. When Dustin shuffles closer to Steve and lowers his voice, you get closer as well so you can listen.
Youâre his older sister. Itâs your damn job to be nosy.
âIt was for this girl.âÂ
Simultaneously you and Steve react. He hums in approval, almost proud, while you scoff. âI knew it.â
Dustin turns around, horrified. âYou knew?â
âDuh, youâre awful at hiding things from me. After Max was just conveniently outside the AV room when Dart originally escaped, I pieced it together immediately. Also, side note: youâre too young to be impressing girls. I told you to just be yourself, dummy.â
Steve lets out a snort. âPretty ironic coming from you, Y/N.â
Suddenly you feel uncomfortable with his attention on you.
âIâm sorry?â Your voice is steady, but you can feel your hands shaking as you continue throwing the bait.Â
âYa know, your massive crush on Jonathan ever since you were twelve.â He laughs, as if itâs the funniest joke in the world.Â
Dustin clears his throat aggressively, pointing to your hands. Steve sees the way that they shake, the tension you now carry in your shoulders, and heâs become familiar enough with you to know your anger cues. The teasing smile that had been on his face drops. He runs towards you so heâs now by your side, and Dustin sighs in disappointment.Â
âI didnât, like, mean anything by that, you know. Iâuh, I was kidding, Y/N.â Steve tries to catch your gaze, but you pointedly stare straight ahead and clench your jaw. Heâs stumbling over both his words and the tracks beneath his feet, trying desperately to appease you. âShit, Iâm sorry.â
âYouâre an asshole, Steve Harrington.âÂ
âY/N, please, I said I was sorryââ
You finally face him, grabbing his elbow to ensure he doesnât move. âI told you that stuff about Jonathan in confidence. You donât get to throw it back in my face, joking or not.âÂ
It doesnât help that youâre already confused enough as it is about the boy and your feelings towards him. To have Steve tease you about it, especially because he knows how painful jabs about Nancy are⊠It really fucking hurts.Â
Steve looks like a kicked puppy as you storm ahead of him and Dustin, putting enough distance between you guys so that you canât hear their conversion that follows.Â
âShitâŠâ
âYouâre awful with women.â Dustin says, now continuing to walk. He doesnât bother to follow after you, knowing that you need your space to cool down. âI wouldnât follow her, by the way. Let her cool off.â
Steve sighs, now walking as well, âYeah, I know.âÂ
They walk in silence for a little while, Steve hanging his head in shame and Dustin leading the way, frustrated by being stuck with two overly emotional teens.Â
After a while the silence eats at Steve, so he decides to continue the conversation from earlier. âSo, this girl⊠is she someone youâve known a while?âÂ
Dustin shakes his head, âNo, sheâs new at our school. Sheâs super cool, though.â
âI remember back when I based my attraction to girls on their coolness.â Steve mumbles.Â
âAnd look where basing it off their hotness has gotten you.âÂ
âOuch,â Steve rubs at his chest, wounded.
Dustin laughs and flings some bait at him. âI thought that if I showed her Dart, sheâd think I was cool, too, and like me.â
Steve sidesteps the thrown bait and tries to comprehend what the younger boy is saying. âSo, you kept something that you knew was probably dangerous in order to impress a girl who⊠you just met?â
âAlright, thatâs grossly oversimplifying things. And anyways, who are you to give me girl advice? My sister is literally three hundred feet ahead of us because you pissed her off with one singular sentence.â Then, almost as if as an afterthought, Dustin adds, âcongrats, by the way. Iâve never seen someone piss her off so quickly.âÂ
âLook, this isnât about me, okay? Sure, I messed up with Y/N, but it isnât like I was hitting on her to begin with,â Dustin makes a disgusted face as Steve quickly continues, panicked. âSo she doesnât count. I just feel like youâre trying way too hard, man.âÂ
âWell, not everyone can have your perfect hair, alright?â Dustin grumbles.Â
Steve shakes his head, slightly amused by the boyâs antics. Heâs so much like you, and yet so different, and Steve is realizing itâll take a lot to keep up with the kid. âItâs not about the hair, dude. Chicks dig more than just a good hairstyle.âÂ
âYouâre literally known as Steve âThe Hairâ Harrington.â
âHey, âKing Steveâ is also there.âÂ
Dustin flings even more bait at Steve, now annoyed with him. âWhatever man, itâs not like youâd be any help anyways.âÂ
âOh really? Well, Little Henderson, Iâm about to blow your mind: the key to girls is just acting like you donât care.â
âEven if you do?â
âYeah, exactly.â Steve now brightens up, happy to finally be getting through to the boy. For Steve, heâs long since learned that the best way to avoid getting hurt is to pretend that he doesnât care. âIt drives them nuts.â
âThen what?âÂ
âYou just wait,â Steve looks ahead, watching you and feeling like a complete dick. He really hadnât meant to hurt you, hell the two of you were finally starting to get somewhere and yet⊠Steve fucked it up. As always.Â
He can see that your shoulders are still tensed up, youâre walking faster than you need to be. He feels a heavy weight in his stomach, one that heâs never felt before; he doesnât like it. âYou wait⊠until you feel it.â
Dustin furrows his brows. âFeel what?â
Steve tears his gaze away from you and turns back to Dustin, beginning to explain the electricity between someone youâre interested in. Being the geek that he is, Dustin turns it into a scientific discussion and Steve does his best to steer the conversation back.Â
âNo, like sexual electricity.â He explains.
As soon as the words leave Steveâs lips, you whip around and shout, âAre you seriously talking to my little brother about sexual electricity?â
Both Dustin and Steve freeze in place, dumbfounded. You let out a loud groan and continue stomping away, now even more aggressively throwing the chunks at the train tracks.Â
âHow did she even hear me?â Steve whispers, terrified.Â
âI donât know,â Your brother whispers back, also equally frightened. âSometimes I think she has powers like El.â
Once youâre a safe enough distance away from them, Dustin hesitantly brings the girl conversation back up. âHypothetically, what do girls like?â
Steve takes a second to answer, carefully rolling the question around in his mind. âIt depends on the girl. Some girls want you to be aggressive, ya know? Go in for the kiss, make them feel protected. Strong, hot and heavy. Like a lion.âÂ
Dustin hums to indicate heâs following along, but âlike a lionâ has him a little worried about the reliability of the conversation. He knows that Steve is a ladyâs man, but heâs also never seen him with any girl besides Nancy, and the one time he saw him with you, he had immediately pissed you off.Â
So for all Dustin knows, it could be lies.Â
Steve continues his confusing explanation. âBut others? You gotta be slow, you gotta be stealthy⊠like a ninja!â
âOkay, what type is Nancy?â Dustin asks, hoping to get the teen to stop making stupid analogies. Lions, ninjas⊠maybe it was all lies.Â
The question catches Steve off guard and he stumbles a bit, feeling the familiar sense of protectiveness, insecurity, over the girl as well as a new sense of loss. What type is Nancy? If he had been asked this a week ago, Steve wouldâve told Dustin that sheâs a nice girl, a girl he could happily bring home to his parents and proudly wrap around his arms. Now? Heâs not so sure.Â
Not when he can still see the anger and disgust in Nancyâs eyes that night at the party.Â
âNancyâs different,â he recalls his conversation with you from last night, how heâd confessed to always feeling two steps behind the girl and how exhausting it all is. âSheâs just different. Letâs move on to the next question.âÂ
Dustin notices Steveâs change in demeanor but doesnât say anything. He supposes that you and him have a lot in common, then. âOkay, what type would you say Y/N is?â
Once again Steve isnât expecting the question Dustin asks. âWhatââ he trips over a twig and just barely manages to catch himself. âWhy would you ask me that? Sheâs your sister, and I donât even like herââ
âRelax, Romeo. Sheâs just similar to Nancy and the girl I like, and I figured youâd know Y/N well enough by now considering you guys slept togetherââ
âI slept on her bean bagââ
âAnd have been friends for like, a year. Plus, sheâs in love with Jonathan, youâre in love with Nancy, and coincidentally theyâre in love with each other. Figures that thereâs some type intermingling between the four of you.â
How the hell does everyone know about Nancy and Jonathan? Steve thinks bitterly.Â
Heâs silent for multiple seconds, absolutely at a loss for what to say. He doesnât know where to begin or what to even deny. Technically the boy is right, as much as it hurts Steve to admit. Heâs all but lost Nancy to Jonathan, and youâve lost Jonathan to Nancy.Â
In an extremely messed up way, you and Nancy do have the same type. On top of that, both you and Nancy are close to Jonathan, so itâs safe to assume thereâs similarities to the both of you that Steve doesnât even want to touch on right now.
Even more importantly, Steve has yet to really decipher why your presence alone can make or break his entire day. Why, after months of not talking, it now feels like heâs finally come home again with you back in his life.Â
He looks at you again, still angrily throwing your bait, and he supposes that youâre a lot like Nancy in certain aspects, and yet completely different from her. âY/N is also different, I guess. Sheâs incredibly intelligent both emotionally and academically. Isnât she like the top of her class?â
Dustin nods, proud of the Henderson intelligence, and Steve continues.Â
âRight. Iâd say sheâs like Nancy, except sheâs softer?â Steve cringes at his own words, suddenly uncomfortable with comparing the two of you. In his mind, youâre both your own separate entities that infatuate him in different ways.Â
You both burn Steve; Nancy is like a shot of whiskey, the thrill that follows the burn. But you? Youâre a fireplace after hours of being out in the cold, the burn of it warming his bones.
âY/N is just⊠sheâs special, but everyone knows that. Your sister is the most caring person Iâve ever met, and I know Iâm a lucky son of a bitch to be someone she trusts.âÂ
Dustin snorts. âYeah you are.â
Up ahead, you finally slow down and face the boys, now waiting for them to catch up and call out, âCâmon, ladies! The sun sets soon, I donât want Lucas waiting in the cold all alone.âÂ
âLooks like Iâve been forgiven.â Steve says, relief evident in his voice, something that your brother doesnât miss.
Dustin lets out another loud snort, patting him on the chest, âOh, my sister may be forgiving, but she never forgets.â With that, he walks away to catch up with you.Â
âWell, isnât that ominous.âÂ
You greet the boys with a tired smile, knowing thereâs no use holding resentment towards Steve. He couldnât have known about your mixed feelings towards Jonathan, you know he had only been trying to get along with Dustin.Â
Things are still weird between you two, despite the conversation from last night, but itâs hard to stay mad at Steve and honestly, you donât really want to be mad at him. Itâs been so lovely having him around again, and your own confusing feelings can wait.Â
Steve leans in close to you, gently grabbing at your hand so that you donât walk away. âHey, we okay?â
His eyes are full of concern and his voice is sickly sweet like honey. With the honey, the remaining bits of anger vanishes. âOf course weâre okay.â
Steve exhales deeply and you giggle at him before remembering that Dustin is quite literally a few feet away from you two. Coughing, you hold up your bucket to point out how itâs almost empty. âI guess in my rage, I flung more than I intended. How are your buckets holding up?âÂ
The two boys hold their buckets up, giving you a mock solute to indicate that all is good. You laugh, impressed by how synched theyâve become in such a short time.Â
âAlright, then. Letâs get going.â As you all begin to walk in line again, you ask, âWhat were you guys even talking about, anyways?âÂ
The boys glance at each other in a conspiring way, which causes you to roll your eyes. Theyâre acting like you asked for their deepest and darkest secrets. They seem to have a silent conversation for a couple seconds before Steve finally speaks up.Â
âI was just giving Little Henderson some girl advice. Nothing serious.âÂ
You raise your eyebrows, your heart swelling a bit at the idea of Steve giving your brother advice. Itâs sweet, really. âGirl advice, huh?â
âYeah, why do you sound so skeptical?âÂ
âBecause youâre terrible with girls.âÂ
Dustin now butts in, âHe told me to be aggressive.âÂ
âI did not!â
âHe also said that youâre softer than Nancy.â
You make a face. âThank you? I think?â
Steve tugs at his hair in frustration. âYou two are the worst people Iâve ever met. You know that, right?âÂ
In unison, you and Dustin reply, âWe get that a lot.âÂ
Steve stares at the two of you with slight horror in his eyes. âYeah, alright. Iâm out.âÂ
You grab at his sleeve, gently stopping him from storming away. You give him an apologetic look and pull him close so that your chest bumps against his. âYouâve gotta get used to the Henderson humor, Steve.â
He looks surprised by your tugging at his sleeve before he lets a smile cross his face. He doesnât do anything else, but he also doesnât back away, either, and you find yourself blushing a bit under his gaze.Â
You clear your throat and let go of his sleeve, stepping back a bit. âAnyways, why donât you tell me what wise advice you have for my brother.âÂ
The smile that was just on Steveâs face vanishes as he looks away from you. âI was just telling the kid to not fall in love with his little crush. Heâs too young for heartbreak and all that other shit.âÂ
âIâm not in love with her!â Dustin exclaims in disgust, but youâre too distracted by Steveâs words to assure your brother that you believe him.Â
âWell, I believe that love is something beautiful.â You say, your words only meeting Steveâs turned back. He doesnât acknowledge you, but you know his indifference holds no malice. Heâs still hurting, still in love with Nancy Wheeler. âDustin, you may be too young to be in love, but donât listen to Steve. To love and be loved is the luckiest thing we can ever do, regardless of how it ends.âÂ
Dustin blanches at your words, grossed out now. âOkay, okay, stop! Love is gross. I get it.âÂ
You softly mumble sorry to him, now suddenly remembering that heâs only thirteen. When you were his age, the idea of love also grossed you out. Now, love is a concept that youâve found a comforting warmth in, even if it's burned you a few times and has left you more exhausted than exhilarated. One day heâll understand (in the far off future, hopefully).Â
For now, you flick your brotherâs hat and follow after Steve, finishing the rest of the bait journey in silence.Â
âÂ
By the time the three of you get to the junkyard, itâs already about midday.Â
Itâs different from how you imagined it, filled with old cars and a giant school bus. Itâs more open, too, not as âjunkyardâ as you assumed.Â
You, Steve, and Dustin stand at the top of the hill, surveying the area. Your feet ache from the walk and the sun is hurting your eyes. Seeing you squinting, Steve wordlessly hands you his signature Raybans and motions for you to put them on.Â
âOh, yeah. Yeah, this will do. Itâll do just fine,â He says, satisfied as he begins to walk down the hill. Then, as an afterthought, he says to Dustin, âGood call, dude.â
Dustin beams with pride and you fill with so much happiness, seeing the boy getting along so well with Steve, that you almost regret not having them meet sooner. However, thereâs no time to wallow in what-ifâs and you put Steveâs sunglasses on to follow after the boys.Â
Immediately you and Steve get to work, working seamlessly together side by side, months of him joining you in Bookstrordinary finally being put to use. While you and Steve silently scatter more meat and grab supplies, Dustin surveys the area.
Just as youâve dumped the remaining meat in the middle of the field, you hear Lucasâ voice call from a few yards away, âI said medium well!â
The boy is with Max, who looks slightly displeased, yet curious, to be here. Despite her still obvious hesitation, you still feel excited seeing the girl. Youâve been meaning to talk more to her, she seems like such a lovely girl.Â
âWhoâs that?â Steve asks you.
âMax! Sheâs great, andââ You start gushing about the girl, eager to go and say hi, before you see the crestfallen look on Dustinâs face when he realizes why sheâs with Lucas. You remember, then, the weird tug-of-war between the boys over her. Shit.Â
You grab at Steveâs hand and pull him aside. âActually, Steve, why donât we start finding some panels to cover the bus?â
Steve gives you a questioning look, but when you silently motion towards Dustin and he sees his despair as well, he catches on and just nods, following along. Without having to tell him, he understands that you want to leave Dustin alone so he can talk to Lucas.Â
As always, youâre forever thankful that he can read you so well.Â
After guiding Steve away, you and him begin to prep the junkyard alongside Max. While the boys are talking, you take this as an opportunity to get to know the girl better.Â
âSo,â you begin, helping Max carry a large piece of wood over to the bus. âI see youâre back again.â
âLooks like it,â she shrugs, not really feeling like talking. Seems like sheâs still mad at you for yesterday, taking Lucasâ side over hers.Â
You sigh. âWell, Iâm glad youâre here.â
âThatâs a first.â Again she deflects, but you know sheâs doing it out of hurt rather than maliciousness.Â
âI know you donât really like me right now, which I totally understand, I just wanted to let you know that while I donât like that youâve been dragged into this mess, Iâm happy youâre here.â
Max frowns at you. âYou guys act like Iâm going to like, die or something.â
A scrap of metal that youâd been carrying slips from your hands. Steve hears this and comes rushing over to help, but you gently wave him away and focus on Max. âI donât know what Lucas told you, but itâs all true. Itâs dangerous, being here, and I just⊠If you ever get hurt, any of you kids, then itâd be on me and Iâd never forgive myself.â
âWay to be a buzzkill, Y/N.â Steve nudges you, trying to get you to smile before your ever-present guilt bears down upon you.Â
Max bites her lip, still disbelieving, but she recognizes the pained look of protectiveness on your face. Itâs not something that someone can easily fake, and from what sheâs heard about you, your kindness is one of the few genuine things in Hawkins.Â
Before she can say anything else, Steve lets out a huff and grabs a chair to bang on the car that Lucas and Dustin are talking behind. âHey! Dickheads! How come itâs only Y/N and some random girl helping me?â
âLanguage!â You chastise.Â
Steve sends you a thumbs up, not really listening. âWe lose light in forty minutes. Letâs go!â
Dustin and Lucas reluctantly start helping, both calling Steve an asshole and throwing him dirty looks, which you canât help but laugh at.Â
Lucas sees you laughing and points at you. âAre you the reason Harrington is here?â
âMhm,â you respond, nailing another piece of wood to the bus. âHeâs done more to help than you have, so either pick up some metal and help or go sit in a corner and sulk. Up to you.â
Steve high fives you. âYeah! What she said!â
Lucasâ shoulders sag, completely at a loss as to how any of this has happened. âThis is so weird.â
âDude, Iâve spent all day with them. Imagine how I feel,â Dustin groans. âI think I died a little when I found out theyâve been friends for like, a year.â
âA year?â Lucas gasps.Â
âGuys!â You throw pebbles at the two boys to break up their little gossip session. âOne, Iâm incredibly hurt you two didnât think I had any friends besides Jonathan. Two, start helping before I throw more rocks.â
âYes maâam,â both boys grumble in unison, which Max finds pretty impressive.Â
After that, the five of you get to work. You guys use every item available in the junkyard to secure the bus, hoping that with enough stacked against it, youâll be safe from Dart once heâs lured. Barrels are rolled, more sheets of metal are placed against the bus, and within the next hour or so youâve successfully managed to build a decent base.Â
All thatâs left is to pour the gasoline trail, which you help Steve with as the kids watch from inside the bus.Â
âIâm getting major deja-vu right now,â you mumble as Steve pours.Â
âGasoline at Jonathanâs?âÂ
âMhm. God, he wouldnât believe what weâre doing right now.â You know he wouldâve loved this bizarre interaction. You, Steve, and the kids all in a junkyard trying to lure a baby Demogorgon.Â
Youâve definitely had better babysitting days, and Jonathan would have a field day with this one.Â
Once youâre done with the gasoline, you and Steve return to the bus. He waits behind you, making sure youâre securely in the car, before he heaves the old bus door closed. As soon as the door is closed, you and Steve exhale together.
You share a look, both in silent agreement to keep the kids safe no matter what. Itâs your guysâ job to keep them safe, to fight for and protect them.Â
Deja-vu again. Youâre back in Jonathanâs house, holding a switchblade while Steve wields his bat.Â
âReady?â He asks you, extending his hand out for you to grab.Â
You interlock your fingers through his. âWhen am I ever?â
Steve laughs, dispelling away any remaining uncertainty and fear. You know, that no matter what, that heâll be by your side to help. With this in mind, you join the kids further into the bus.Â
Lucas climbs the ladder up to the top, something youâre not fully okay with, but heâs the one with the binoculars and you the switchblade, so it makes the most sense. As the boy climbs, you sit down next to Steve as he flicks his lighter on and off. Youâre pressed shoulder to shoulder, his presence grounding you.
Dustin paces, and all you can do is watch him as you try to settle your own nerves. Max has seated herself at the other end of the bus, her arms crossed as usual.Â
After a few moments of silence, she finally speaks. âSo, you really fought one of these things before?â
Steve nods and you hum in agreement. âUnfortunately.â
âAnd youâre, like, totally, 100% sure it wasnât a bear?â
âI mean, to be fair I also had that same thought last yearââ
Dustin cuts you off. âShit, donât be an idiot, okay? It wasnât a bear.â
You roughly grab at your brother, yanking him towards you to shut him up. âDustinââ
âWhy are you even here if you donât believe us?â He sneers at Max, something youâve never, ever seen your sweet brother do. âJust go home.â
Max clenches her jaw and you send her an apologetic look, but she rolls her eyes at you. âGeesh, someoneâs cranky. Past your bedtime?âÂ
âMax, waitââ She ignores you and climbs up the ladder to join Lucas. You groan once sheâs gone, now more than ever wanting to strangle your brother. âDustin, what the hell was that?â
âThat was good, Y/N!â Steve says, a proud smirk on his face. âHe showed her he didnât care, just like I told him to.â
âOh, so itâs your fault my sweet, innocent baby brother is now some woman hating misogynistic piece ofââ
âI donât hate women, Y/N.â Dustin tiredly says, before directing his next words to Steve. âAnd I donât care.â
Steve winks at the boy, but immediately flinches back when you raise your hand to smack him. âYeah, cower away, you idiotic and moronicââ
âY/N, stop overreacting and Steve, stop winking at me.â
You raise your eyebrows at Dustinâs tone and he quickly clears his throat and steps away from you. Steve puts some distance between you two as well, scooting away a bit so that heâs out of hitting range.Â
Itâs quiet again, both boys now scared of your anger, and you anxiously wait for Dart to show up.Â
Steve goes back to flicking the lighter, Dustin paces again, and you tap your foot nervously. The silence is killing you, itâs always been your least favorite part of the Upside Down. The waiting, hoping youâre prepared for when all hell inevitably breaks loose.Â
You flick your own blades out, admiring the way the blades catch in the moonlight, when you hear a loud growl come from outside. Instinctively you raise your blades to your face while Steve and Dusin scramble to peek through the metal sheets to look out the window.Â
âYou guys see him?â Dustin asks as he crouches next to you.Â
You shake your head. âNo,â
Thereâs nothing outside, only a thick haze of fog that has settled over the junkyard.Â
âLucas, whatâs going on?â Your brother calls up to his friend.
âHold on!â The boy responds.Â
Your heart begins to beat faster, your blades never straying away from your face, poised for a fight. Steve sees the way your knuckles whiten over your weapon and he grabs your spare hand, gently coaxing you to calm down.Â
Your fingers tighten around Steveâs and you remember his words from last night, promising you that heâll be there, and you believe him.Â
From the busâ roof, you hear Lucas call down, âIâve got eyes! Ten oâclockâten oâclock!â
There, in the haze of fog, you see a hunched figure stalk its way towards the bus. Seeing Dart, youâre filled with complete dread. Heâs grown again, much bigger than youâve ever seen him.
Heâs practically the size of the Demogorgon from last year, the same one that almost killed you and Steve.Â
âWhatâs he doing?â Dustin asks, as if anyone else would have any more information than he does.Â
âI donât know,â Steve sighs, his eyes never leaving Dart.Â
You squeeze his hand again and hold your breath as you watch the Demodog. He slowly approaches the bait, inspects the area, but he doesnât seem to be interested in it. You send a silent prayer to whatever god is above that your plan will work.Â
It has to work.Â
However, Dart starts to back away from the bait and Steve leans even closer to the window. âHeâs not taking the bait. Why isnât he taking the bait?â
âI donât know,â you want to cry from exhaustion and fear and defeat.Â
Dustin looks over at you. âMaybe heâs not hungry?â
Something seems to click, then, for Steve. His eyes light up with an idea, and before he can even get his words out, you grasp at Steveâs arm and try to talk him out of it. âNo, absolutely not. Youâre not going out there.â
âMaybe heâs sick of cow.â Steve tries to make you let go of him, but you quickly tighten your hold on him and fight back. âY/N, let me go, I can run fast andââ
âYou canât just use yourself as bait!â You plead, but Steve has always been stronger than you and he drags you behind him as he makes his way towards the bus door. âSteve, listen to me!â
âSteve? Steve!â Dustin finally catches on to whatâs happening and he grabs at the teen as well. âWhat are you doing?â
Steve ignores you both and with a quick jerk of his arm, he frees himself from you. As soon as youâve let go, he runs towards the door and snatches his bat from the ground. You curse, knowing thereâs no way in hell heâs going out there alone, so you follow after him.Â
Dustin sees this and panics. âY/N, please donât tell me youâre goingââ
âStay put!â You command, scrambling after Steve, who has now begun to open the door. He tosses you the lighter, which you toss to your brother. âJust get ready, Dustin!â
âY/N!â
âI love you!â
Dustin continues to shout, his pleas laced with more fear than youâve ever heard from him, but you force yourself to leave. Just as youâve stepped outside and re-closed the bus door, Dustin pounds against the glass that youâve locked, tears in his eyes.
You look away, despite how fucking hard it is, and it takes everythin within you to leave.Â
Steve saved your life last year.Â
Now itâs your turn.Â
Itâs tense outside as you and Steve walk back to back, weapons out. He twirls his bat a few times, a move that you find yourself smiling at due to its familiarity. With your back against his, you whisper to Steve, âYou look for Dart, I keep an eye for anything else?â
He nods, and together the two of you slowly follow the sound of Dartâs chittering.Â
âCâmon buddy,â Steve taunts, beginning to whistle.Â
âI know we named it a Demodog, but I donât think whistling will help.â
âWe could be about to die, and youâre seriously questioning what Iâm doing?â
You shrug, eyes now on the skyline as the fog slowly thickens. âHabit.â
Steve chuckles, which brings some comfort to the fucking awful situation at hand. He whistles some more, continuing to taunt Dart. âCâmon. Dinner time.â
âAgain with offering Dart meals while weâre near him,â you shake your head, not at all liking where any of this is going.
âWhat? At least human tastes better than cat.â Steve responds, now at the pile of raw meat.
You both stop here, Steve facing the bait and you facing the bus, still scanning for literally anything else that could possibly go wrong. Because youâre Y/N Henderson and nothing can ever, ever go right for you.Â
Dart lets out another growl, now having spotted Steve, and the teen swings his bat around. You spare a quick glance behind you and see Dart, who has placed all his focus on you and Steve.Â
Well, at least the live bait plan is working.Â
You turn away again, and as soon as you do, you see the other Demodogs now suddenly appear. Your blood runs cold when you see the two up ahead, one directly in front of you and one on top of the cars.Â
For a moment, your words seem to fail you and no sound comes out when you try to speak. All you can do is stare at them, overcome with fear. Youâre back in Jonathanâs once more, the fear strangling you as the memories paralyze you.Â
From the top of the bus, Lucas yells, âSteve! Y/N! Watch out!â
âWeâre a little busy here!â Steve yells back, eyes still on Dart.Â
The Demodog in front of you starts to approach, which finally seems to break you from your spell. Shakily, you tell Steve, âThereâs more.â
âWhat?â He tries to turn around, but you shove at him to not lose sight of Dart. You canât distract him now. Another Demodog has joined.
âThree oâclock! Right in front of Y/N!â Lucas screams, his voice cracking with fear.Â
âY/N?â Steve fully turns around now when he realizes that youâre also in danger, and when he sees the three other Demodogs, he lets out a curse. âShit.â
Suddenly, you and Steve are surrounded by Demodogs, more than you ever couldâve imagined. More than the two of you can even fight on your own.Â
Back at Jonathanâs, it had taken guns, fire, knives, and bats to kill a grown Demogorgon.Â
You donât think your knives and Steveâs bat will be enough for Demodogs.Â
âSteve! Y/N! Abort!â Dustin has flung the bus door open, screeching for the two of you to get out of there.Â
Itâs too late. Dart has opened his mouth and is running towards you two, his friends joining as well.Â
âI go left, you go right!â Steve has just enough time to direct you before Dart lunges.Â
You dodge, going right as instructed while Steve flings himself on top of a car to avoid the monsters. As Steve hits Dart with his bat, crouched against the car, you narrowly avoid the other Demodog and drop to the ground as it jumps over your head. âShit!â
Steve swings his bat again and tries to make his way over to you, but youâre off the ground in a heartbeat and run to him instead. Two of the Demodogs are on him now, and thereâs only so much damage his bat can do. Breathless, you run over and stab at their backs, doing everything you can to give Steve an opening to run.Â
Faintly, you hear the kids in the background cheering you guys on, urging you two to come home.
One of the Demodogs lets out a harsh screech as your blade pierces its skin. It crumbles to the ground, giving Steve just enough of an opening to begin running towards the bus. When he goes to run, you notice one of the Demodogs eying him, and before you can even process whatâs happening, youâre throwing yourself in front of him and you feel nails tear at your ribs.
You scream, clutching at your side in agony, feeling blood quickly beginning to spill from your wound. âFuck!â
âY/N!â Steve starts to run toward you, pale with fear.Â
âNo!â You shove him back towards the bus; you canât let him get hurt because of you. âGo, Iâll be fine!âÂ
He tries to argue, but you take a deep breath and grip his jacket tightly, practically flinging him inside the bus just before Dart lunges again. Together, the two of you stumble up the steps and barricade the door.Â
As soon as itâs closed, Dart begins slamming against it with his entire body.Â
Steve uses his legs to hold the door closed while you lay sprawled on the ground, trying to steady your breathing as more blood spills from you. The room is spinning and youâre pretty sure you can taste blood in your mouth.Â
Awesome. Cool.Â
The kids are screaming and Dartâs body causes the entire bus to rock as his friends now join, throwing their own bodies against the bus as well.
âAre they rabid or something?â Max screams, but everyone ignores her.Â
Steve, quick as ever, finds a spare piece of metal and wedges it against the door and uses his legs again to hold it in place. He looks over at you on the ground and feels his heart jump to his throat. Youâre pale, a sheen of sweat now dotted across your forehead, and thereâs now a concerningly large pool of blood where you lay. âDustin, go help your sister!â
Dustin looks up and finally notices your injury and almost faints at the sight. In a daze, he runs over to you and kneels down, terrified of how much blood there is. âOh my god.â
âIâm fine,â you wince, trying to clench your teeth and bear through the pain. âHonestly, this is like a paper cut.â
âY/Nââ The sound of glass shattering cuts Dustin off as a Demodog breaks through the window. Everyone screams, and your brother grabs your arms and drags you further towards the back of the bus to avoid any glass getting on you.Â
Wearily, you watch as Steve does whatever he can with his bat, and a part of you wants to laugh. He looks like heâs playing the hardest game of wack-a-mole ever.Â
Meanwhile, Lucas and Max have joined you and Dustin. When they see you, Lucas lets out a choked scream while Max covers her eyes.Â
âAre you okay?â Lucas kneels over you as well, and you find his sincerity endearing. Heâs always been the sweetest in the group, the most comforting.Â
âNever been better,â you wheeze out.Â
Dustin instructs Lucas to stay with you while he tries to radio for help. âIs anyone there? Mike? Will? God? Anyone!â
âGod would be pretty nice to have.â You remark, pain making you even more delirious than usual.Â
Max looks at Lucas. âSheâs losing it.â
âI think Iâm doing great, all things considered.â
Dustin continues to scream into his walkie for help while Lucas tries to stop your bleeding. Max is running around, looking for anything to help, and Steve is still stuck at the front of the bus playing wack-a-mole with Demodogs.Â
The situation is so fucking grim, and youâve never wanted to laugh more.Â
Then, to make matters even worse, the ceiling of the bus starts to creak. You see the faint outlines of what suspiciously looks like Demodog footprints on the roof. In slow, agonizing footsteps, Dart makes his way over to the emergency exit on top.
He leers over, and Max, who is at the bottom of the ladder, screams.Â
Steve shoves the kids back and you try to get up, but Lucas pushes you down and shakes his head at you.Â
âYou want some? Come get this!â Steve places himself between Dart and you and the kids, screaming at the thing and waving his bat around, and youâve never been more attracted to him.
Dart lets out a blood curdling screech, his mouth full of rows of razor sharp teeth that killed your cat just the other day, and you cling onto Lucasâ hand. Another screech, and just before Dart strikes at Steve, it jumps off the bus and runs away.Â
Everyone freezes, unsure what to do, as more distant growls and howls can be heard from outside. Steve and the rest stand up, and you notice Lucas holding Maxâs hand, and at least something good came out of this hellhole of a day.Â
âAny help here?â You finally ask after a minute or so, still lying helplessly on the ground as you bleed.
âShit!â Steve drops his bat. âWhere did it get you, whereâs the bleeding? Dustin, did we pack any bandages, orâor an EMT stretcher orââ
âSteve,â you grab his hand, urging him to calm down. âIt scratched the fuck out of my ribcage, but Iâm not dying. I promise.â
âYouâre not?â Dustin asks, tears in his eyes.Â
âIâm not. I justâŠâ you shift, wincing at the pain. âI just really need a bandage and Iâll be good as new.â
Steve swallows, a frenzied look in his eyes, and nods. Without thinking, he tears a piece of your bloodied cardigan off and gently lifts your body up so that he can wrap the shred of cloth around you. He weaves it tight, his movements slow and delicate, his eyes never leave yours.Â
You can feel his hands shaking as he tends to your wound and ties the cloth with a knot. When heâs done, even though youâre aware of the kidsâ eyes on you two, you bring his hands to your lips and kiss them. âThank you.â
âOf course,â He whispers, brushing a strand of hair out of your face. Dustin coughs, which seems to make Steve remember where he is, and he clears his throat. âRight, well. Try not to lose any more blood, yeah?â
âIâll try,âÂ
Steve nods and stands back up, knowing Dustin and Lucas will want a moment with you, and makes his way back outside. He knows that theyâre all still in danger, even if for some reason the Demdogs seem to have left.Â
Once Steve is gone, Dustin and Lucas help you stand, and as soon as youâre up, both boys try their best to give you a hug without hurting you.Â
âDonât do that ever again,â Dustin sniffs, squeezing your uninjured side tightly.
âWhat he said,â Lucas sniffs as well, though he tries to hide his tears from you.Â
You laugh, your own tears evident as you hold the boys tight. âI promise.âÂ
âYou saved Steve,â Max notes, though her tone is neutral, you can see sheâs impressed.
âI had to even out a debt.âÂ
âGuys,â Steve calls from outside. âThe coast is clear.â
Slowly, you and the kids make your way out of the bus. It takes some help from both Dustin and Lucas, but eventually youâre able to walk on your own, holding your side, and walk down the steps.Â
âYou okay?â Steve is by your side as soon as youâve stepped down, holding you so that heâs not touching your cut. Youâre thankful for his support, the pain still making you feel woozy.Â
âWeâll talk later,â you motion towards the kids, not wanting to worry them any further.Â
He nods, although he hates that you feel like you canât focus on your own safety.Â
âWhat happened?â Lucas asks the group.Â
âI donât know.â Max looks around, and you think sheâs finally starting to understand what sheâs gotten herself into.Â
Dustin points to you and Steve. âMaybe they scared âem off?â
âNo,â Steve shakes his head. It couldnât have been that easy. âNo way.â
âTheyâre going somewhere.â You finish for him, confirming your worst fears. Suddenly, more pain shoots through you and you wince again, squeezing your eyes shut.Â
Steve bends his head down, guiding you a bit away from the kids so that they wonât hear. âHey, we donât have to follow them. We can go home, you know.â
âWe canât.â You clench your jaw as pain rings throughout your body. The goddamn Demodog got you good. âWe have to follow. Itâs all connected, Will and his episodes, Nancy and Jonathan with the detective, and Iâll be damned if I back down now.â
âSo we follow?â Steve asks, trusting whatever call you make.
You nod, knowing you have to do this. While you guys are safe for now, you know that everyone else has to be in danger; you have to protect them. âUnfortunately.âÂ

Oct. 2 ; Begging
ââââââââââââââââââââ
ââââââââââââââââââââ
Male! Reader x Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games)
HEADS UP!
Second Kinktober prompt, set! Enjoy this drabble
Ended up being a bit sweeter and not too 'begging' as the prompt said, but hey! There's always another chance to re-write this after kinktober!
Also, ignore the fact I haven't posted day one yet ajdhkcjks I'll probably post it later since I'm a tad stuck on it.
And how out of practice I am in writing- but I swear, all my thirsts will (hopefully) get better overtime!
â â â â
â â â â â â â
â â â
Finnick moans, his hands claw at the kitchen counter top as his boyfriend pounds into him from behind. He aches a bit, but god it's amazing and worth it all.
He had teased (Y/n) earlier today, he was in the mood, and seems like (Y/n) was as well after having Finnick drop to his knees and suck him off from under their dinning table. He wouldn't admit it straight up, but Finnick has been itching for his lover's touch since a few days ago when (Y/n) had returned from his trip to District 13 to check in. The kiss they shared at the station, Finnick liked it a bit too much, maybe he missed (Y/n)'s lips against his, the gentle touch on his sides, how he didnât push him-
"(Y/n)- baby, fuck!" Finnick chokes out, another moan leaving him.
His chest felt cold from being pressed against their marble counter, but (Y/n) simply continued to piston into him. A hand gently holding his thigh up to the side, granting him a new angle, and Finnick felt his legs shake, and at some point he's pinned to the counter. He can barely keep himself up on the floor, and (Y/n) seems to notice because Finnick yelps briefly as he's flipped over and he's now with his back to the counter, staring up at (Y/n) as he hikes his legs up. Now presented with a canvas, Finnick reaches up and wraps his arms around his boyfriend's back, moaning as he tries to bite the noises back by biting his bottom lip.
His hair is disheveled, messy, and not in the usual styled and seductive manner that his ex-stylists used to fix it into, but rather into something raw and honest. His fingers draw down (Y/n)'s back as he shudders and soon sputters on a noise and breath.
"Another- inside, please-" Finnick begs quietly, he doesnât care how he aches faintly from the past three orgasms he's already had which have stolen all the air from him, he needs another load inside of him. One more.
(Y/n) smiles slightly, both love and pure unadulterated adoration, and he leans down to groan into Finnick's ear "You want another inside? And here I was thinking of pulling out and finishing all over your thighs instead... why so desperate?" He teases, and Finnick scoffs as much as he can before he breaks into a choppy whimper mixed with a moan "I- Oh right there... There! Nail right there!" He can't help but purr out, and when (Y/n)'s thrusts slow and intentionally miss, Finnick is digging his face involuntarily into (Y/n)'s neck "Please- please please... So good, please, inside. Another, right... right tHE-" his words are cut off and hit a high as he throws his head back, and if it weren't for the gentle hand on the back fo his head that stops the movement by catching his head and curling a hand into his hair, Finnick would've slammed his head open. But he's too lost to properly adore the action, instead he only lets out a heavy, and noisey high pitched moan.
(Y/n) had shifted his thrusts, and was now thoroughly fucking into him, right into his prostate as he had asked, and the tease just chuckles breathily.
"There?"
"Yes... Yes! Please inside, inside." His last few words mold into messy shapes and noises, still coherent in a sense, but debaunched with his ecstasy. He lets out another softer whimper, and Finnick swears this man is the only one who has been able to reduce him to these honest words, begs, and noises. He's a mess, but shit it's so nice.
It doesn't take too much longer, and (Y/n) gives a small tug to Finnick's hair, reeling his mind back to quickly ask for honest confirmation "Inside?" And Finnick can't help how he begs.
"YES! Inside, inside, please- please (Y/n), need it. Please, need to feel it, feel you-" and Finnick is cut off with a yelp and moan as his hips are grabbed and he's pulled down to be plush against (Y/n)'s hips. He shudders as a weak orgasm leaves him, untouched, oversensitive, and the feeling of being filled and pumped with a orgasm once more in him, Finnick lets the fingers he hadnât noticed that dug down (Y/n)'s back fall lax.
He lets his expression drop, content as he bathes in the after glow, breathing in heavily as he lets out weak little noises. He gently holds onto (Y/n) as his partner seems just as breathless as he is, pulling back to smile down at him as Finnick feels his heart briefly flutter at how he looks at him.
"Seems like you've missed me." And Finnick groans in complaint and jokingly tries to shove (Y/n) away with a little tired grin on his own face "Oh piss off!" He scoffs out a playful laugh despite how breathless it sounds, quickly diving in to kiss (Y/n) once more in something sweeter.
Yeah, he had missed him.

tear you apart - part I
masterlist
->Pairing: König x fem!reader
->Words: 2.2k
->Warning: sexual thoughts, use of Y/N, close proximity, and tension, eventual smut
->Summary: König is kinda mean, dark and a little possessive but itâs all in good fun! A new girl catches the colonel's eyes, and he wonât let her go. Inspired by my favorite song Tear you Apart by She Wants Revenge.
->A/N: please let me know what yaâll think, this is my first time writing anything spicy so im open to feedback. Also my requests are always open :)
The base is cold as it should be at this time of year, you transferred from the states to the Austrian KorTac base against your own wishes, you are a specialized stealth agent that the higher ups thought could be a valued member to the KorTac team. Wishing to be back in the sun but alas your new skies are clouded and mean.
It is what it is, you thought to yourself, lacing your boots, and emerging from your room. Itâs always a weird adjustment process when you transfer to a new base, learning the way around like learning a new maze each time. The people were friendly enough although you didnât know if it was because you were a new soldier or just because you were a new pretty face around that hadnât heard any rumors about the seedy guys and their proclivities.
Altogether you have heard one rumor,
One big, tall, menacing rumor.
König
âThe kingâ
Curiosity killed the cat and God help you, all you wanted was to know if what they said was true. Before you left for transfer you heard whispers when they found out where you were going.
âSheâll be miserable under his watch.â
âHeâll have her running laps and doing reps the first day for sure.â
âHeâll eat her alive.â
 âHeâll eat her alive.â
 Did these whispers make her shiver? Yes
Did these whispers make her restless? Yes
Did these whispers make her ache in anticipation? Absolutely.
 Itâs been a long while since the last body occupied her bed, a touch a century ago, a kiss eons ago. All these fairy tales about this big, tall strong man that could throw her two football fields didnât help her desperation at all.
She knew these thoughts werenât appropriate, sleeping with a superior was frowned upon. He was probably married and happy, men like that donât stay on the market for long. And from the stories she heard she obviously has no shot with him.
She rounded a corner from the barracks and exited to the outside courtyard, the air nipping at her skin. Dark clouds looms and the trees are barren of leaves ready for life anew. Approaching the main building the smell of sweat and metal entered her nose making way to the meeting room.
ââ
The debriefing was the same as all the others, the captain explaining what to do and who goes where. She nearly fell asleep until the doorknob turned, thatâs weird, usually people donât barge into these things halfway through⊠unless theyâre king of the castle.
He enters the room, his aura dominating those around him. His stature is something to behold, well over six feet of pure muscle. He could break me over his knee like a glowstick and I wouldnât be able to do anything about itâŠ
He stalks into the room greeting the captain, his voice it deep and dark and you want to hear more of it.
His gear makes him all that bulkier, his mask concealing his face and yea, if I were the enemy and I saw him running towards me I would definitely shit my pants.
He stands at the front of the room observing everyone in it and maintaining concentration on the presentation the captain is giving for the next mission. You try your hardest to maintain the same concentration but heâs just so tall and all the rumors are true heâs an enigma. You find your eyes drinking him in, from his shoes to the metal plates on his shins, to his..oh god⊠his broad broad shoulders. You imagine taking your hands and tracing over them feeling the thick muscles underneath his war-torn skin as you bring your hands lower-
 He shifts in place.
 Your eyes quickly dart away then to his eyes, his eyes locked on yours like a predator watching his prey.
You immediately break into a sweat, his eyes like a spotlight and they donât move from you.
You look again to see if heâs still looking, he tilts his head a bit to the side and raises an eyebrow teasingly. Shit. oh no heâs hot. Like really hot.
Shifting in your seat, nervous beads of sweat dripping down your neck, the meeting is coming to a close and people start tucking in their chairs. König is still standing by the door, his eyes still locked on yours, I wonder what heâs thinking. I mean, surely if heâs a married man he wouldnât be looking at me so hardâŠ.right? Maybe no one told him you were transferring so heâs just confused on who the fuck is this new girl in here I didnât approve this. By now most of everyone has left the room, the projector is turned off, the map put away, the captain gone. You move your gaze to the floor and get up and tuck in your chair, clearing your throat, now realizing how eerily quiet the room is and you havenât heard König make a noise since he greeted the captain. You make your way to the door, preparing to walk by him and out of the room.
An arm shoots out to block the doorway and you are forced to stop dead in your tracks keeping your eyes dead set on the long dark hallway in front of you.
âYour name soldier.â He barks, his voice smooth and dark like black coffee. The sweat beads up again and you know for a fact your face is growing hot.
âY/N, sir.â You straighten your back and maintain my straight state.
He leans down. You can tell heâs looking at you and you raise your eyes to meet his and your heart is racing a million miles an hour and nerves are on fire you breath is uneven and you know he knows, I mean who wouldnât be uneasy this close to him.
âI-Iâm the transfer from the states sir, from the stealth unit.â
âI know who you are hĂŒbsches MĂ€dchen, read your file. Approved your transfer myself.â
He replied, his eyes never leaving mine. Heâs even more intimidating this close but something deep within you wants to reach out to him and quell this thirst for his touch.
âI appreciate you thinking me worthy to serve on this team, I wonât let you down.â You affirm with the little strength you have left. His gaze is piercing but intoxicating all the same.
He removes his hand slowly from the doorframe and straightens his back standing at his full height again. His begins again,
âTraining at 0700 tomorrow morning be there, Iâd like to see you demonstrate some maneuvers see if you need any additional training. I will be watching closely, do not disappoint me.â His arms are crossed now and heâs even larger than before.
âYes, of course sir, Iâll be there.â
âI look forward to it.â His tone is light now, maybe even teasing.
You swear you saw him wink but maybe it was just the lighting and how it hit his mask.
âWell run along kleiner Hase; you need your beauty sleep after all.â He motions to the hallway and you take quick steps back to your room, cheeks still hot and breath still quick. It was going to be difficult to have him as your commanding officer.
ââ
Sleep didnât come easy, tossing and turning and thinking about the way König devoured you with his eyes made you sweat and frankly being that close to him and replaying that moment over and over again didnât help with your insomnia. You thought of him a lot that night, more than once, enough to make your hand cramp up. By the time it was daylight you were running off 4 hours of sleep and a large coffee you picked up from the mess hall. You trudged your way over to the main building again where the gym and training room was, once again passing through the courtyard.
The trees are still barren, and you almost slip on the sleet left on the pathway cursing to yourself and hoping to god no one saw.
The gym smells musty, the air vents clearly working overtime since the gym has some activity. A couple groups of pairs work on sparing on the far side and others work out alone. You walk over to the mats and stand to the side watching the two pairs fight for the upper hand, takedown training great, you knew how to do it most of the time on missions you were equipped with a silenced pistol and other quieter tools. Stealth takedowns are your forte but it canât hurts to get more practice with face to face takedowns.
The fight with the two are done and you were too busy thinking to hear your voice being called.â
âSergeant L/N!, to the mat.â König barked, his authority shaking the ground, not the best first impression on training day.
You apologize quickly and step onto the mat, your opponent being someone a bit taller than you but not by much, a weight to weight equal, should be easy enough.
Königâs eyes watch you as you grapple with the opponent twisting his arm and throwing him over your shoulder onto the mat, you brace your knee on his neck and apply a small amount of pressure, the opponent taps out. He wonât lie, König felt his pants get tight from seeing you work so effectively. Your work is certainly good, he wonât lie, taking down someone so easily.
âAgain, another.â He barks once more, his accent thick.
You take down another three opponents, you clearly are growing restless from the muscle exertion and signal to take a break. König watches with amusement.
âA break? What if this was real combat kleiner Hase, will you beg your advisories to adjourn their dissatisfaction for you? Beg them for a time out?â By now heâs stepped onto the mat with you, today heâs shed the outer layer of his gear just wearing his mask and usual military uniform, he still looks just as hot.
âThereâs no time for breaks out there as you know, and when you come up with a larger enemy you must be able to take them down as well.â
Fuck.
He wants you to take HIM down, your muscles are already weak from the last three fights he surly knows youâve exerted yourself right? Right?!
âGo on schatz, Iâll let you make the first move.â His voice has an edge of teasing to it and you want to rip off his mask and see the smirk you know heâs displaying.
You huff
âVery well sir.â
You move to grapple his middle trying to take out his legs, heâs sturdy like a tree and you think if you can take out his legs heâll go down like one. He budges only slightly when you hit on a pressure point and just when heâs moving and you think youâve gain the upper hand he sweeps your legs from underneath you and has you pinned. Your wrists are bound by one of his hands above you head and heâs got both of his very thick thighs straddling you.
Your face grows hot at your defeat, especially all your other coworkers seeing it too. But it burns even hotter when he comes down close to your ear and whispers to you,
âYou look very pretty underneath me schatz, so pretty when you are short of breath.â He laughs, that bastard.
You canât admit it but your panties grow damp at his words and your body is on fire, although to those around you it just looks like youâve over exerted yourself with a tad too much training.
König stand, his height from down here is astonishing. He reaches a hand down and lifts you to your feet but heâs so strong you accidentally collide with his chest before taking a quick step back. You mumble an apology.
âYou fight well L/N, no doubt you will be a fine addition to this team. Although you will need to know how to take down large adversaries so I can help you with additional training of course.â
He holds his hand for you to shake it and you meet him halfway, his large hand grips yours and you get a flashback to feeling it wrapped tightly around your wrists, you shiver.
Königâs gaze casts down upon you, no woman has yet to capture his attention the way you have. Many have tried. Thrown themselves at him in an unsavory manner, but you, oh youâre different. He admires the way you speak to him, although not many words have been exchanged between the two of you he prays there are more.
Your hair, your eyes, your body, all of it has entranced him and the moment he laid eyes on you, the others know. The way his gaze is steady and dark on you the others know youâre off limits. He yearns to learn more of you, to hear of your history as he strips your clothes off one article at a time under the dim lights of his office. He must be patient though. You are like a deer, scared in the spotlight and he must not spook you, he stands still until you come to him. For now he stares.

Pairing: Miguel O'Hara x f!reader
Summary: You challenge Miguel to a sparring match.
Warnings: SMUT, NSFW, 18+ ONLY, teasing, begging, oral (m/f receiving), unprotected p in v, wrestling/ grappling for control, too many positions to list lol, mirror sex, dirty talk, creampie
WC: 3.4k
A/N: This prompt won the poll that I put out AGES ago. Sorry it took so long, personal life and work life have been getting in the way and my mental health tanked so I didnât have it in me to write anything. But, Iâm back and feeling inspired again so I was able to finish this. Also, let me know your honest opinion on the positions I wrote reader and Miguel in because holy shit that was harder than I thought it was going to be. I wanted to really capture the feeling that they were wrestling around on the floor, but didn't want to make it too confusing. Please let me know if it made any sense lol. It was a challenge, but fun to write so I hope you enjoy and as always, feedback is encouraged and appreciated!!
Miguel is excited that you agreed to join him for his mid-morning workout. But excitement quickly turns to regret as you begin stretching on the mat in front of him. âThis was a mistake," he mutters, and you look back and give him a questioning look.
 âHow am I supposed to focus when youâre doing that?â He gestures to your ass on full display, sticking straight up in the air.
 You smile cheekily. "Well, if you don't want to watch me stretch, why don't you help me instead?" You teasingly wiggle your hips to entice him. It works, and he comes over to kneel on the floor behind you. Little do you know, he's planning to do a little teasing of his own as payback for distracting him.Â
 He runs his hands up the backs of your thighs and gives your ass a light squeeze before maneuvering you onto your back. He raises one of your legs up and throws it over his shoulder, then leans over you. The tension in your hamstring causes a familiar burn and a thrill runs through you. When he switches legs, you feel his hardening bulge rub up against you and a soft moan slips from your lips. You try to move your hips against him, but before you can he places a quick kiss to your forehead and sits upright.
 "Alright, I think you've been thoroughly stretched out, now let's get to it." He shoots you a wink as he stands. You had been hoping he'd let his dick do all the thinking and forfeit his original plans for an entirely different, and way more desirable, form of workout. But he seems determined to stick to his normal routine, much to your disappointment.
 You get up, begrudgingly, to begin your own workout. It's leg day and you decide to start with some lunges. You intentionally face him, not wanting to miss the show. You love watching him workout. His sheer strength never fails to amaze you. Not only that, but he always does everything with such finesse and ease,, and you usually end up just bailing on your workout to watch him, your mouth watering and eyes glued to his body.
 It's not only his movements that are entrancing, but the sounds. My god, the sounds he makes. All the heavy breathing and grunting causes a wet heat to flare between your legs. If you close your eyes, you can picture him above you, fucking you with the same power and agility he's showcasing right now.
 He's in a pushup position, doing reps with a weight bigger than your head. Every time he pulls it up to his chest, he lets out a jagged exhale through his nose and you wish desperately you were feeling it on your neck while he pounds into you from behind.
 You find yourself completely mesmerized by the sounds he's making, the furrow in his brow, and the sweat glistening on his skin. It's a delicious sight and you realize you've completely stopped moving and are simply standing there, staring at him.
 He takes notice as he moves the weight to the other hand and catches a glimpse of you out of the corner of his eye. You quickly look away but judging by the smirk on his face you know he caught you. He's too distracting, so you decide to finish the rest of your workout on the elliptical, just waiting for him to be done and hoping he'll take you back to the apartment and relieve you of the ache he's created between your legs.
 As you set your pace on the machine, you curse yourself for not bringing headphones. You can only just barely see him out of the corner of your eye, but you hear him as he's laid out doing bench presses. The grunting is going straight to your core and you feel a warmth starting to form in your belly. Now alight with burning need, you step off and go to stand in front of him. If he's not willing to postpone his workout to fuck you silly like you want, then you think you've got the perfect compromise.
 You walk over and stand in front of him, hands on your hips. âLetâs spar."
 "What?â he asks, finishing the set and then sitting up.
 "You heard me. I wanna spar. C'mon. Or are you scared I'm going to kick your ass?" You goad, knowing full well he could squash you like a bug if he actually tried.
 He smiles at you, amused by your trash talk, but hesitates. "I don't know if that's such a good ideaâŠ" It seems like he wants doesn't want to risk the chance of hurting you, which you both know he wouldn't let happen, but he's really just trying to fight the urge to fuck you. He's been struggling since he saw you saunter out in your tight workout clothes this morning. If you were to spar, he knows being that close to you would make him lose what little control he's clinging to.
 "Câmon, I just want to give it a try. I promise, I'll go easy on you," you joke.
âOkay," he chuckles, "but nothing too crazy. Just some basic grappling stuff." He rises off the bench, and lets his eyes roam your body. He curses himself for it as he feels himself growing hard. His eyes stay glued to your ass as he follows you to the mat in the middle of the room.
 He verbally walks you through a few maneuvers and you pick one to try. He gets into position behind you and holds you up against him, and you're supposed to duck out of his grasp. You attempt the move, and fail, so he pulls you back into him to try it again. You get into position, gripping his arm, and wait for him to give you the go ahead. He leans down to speak softly into your ear. "Good, just like that. Now try it again, but just a little faster."
 His words send a tingle across your skin and your grip on him loosens. With your guard effectively down, he spins you around and sweeps your feet out from under you. You let out a squeak and feel brace yourself, but he grabs you before you hit the mat and lowers you to the ground. You notice he now has you completely trapped under him. He holds your arms to your sides and uses his leg to pin one of your own down. He leaves one leg free, and you plant it on the ground, attempting to push yourself out of his hold, but it's useless. You let out a frustrated sigh.
 "Ready to give up?" he taunts, eyes gleaming with mischief.
 "It's not fair. I'm at a disadvantage," you whine, still attempting to free yourself from his grasp.
 "And why is that?" he questions. There are a million reasons you're at a disadvantage going up against him, but your answer is not one he is expecting.
 "My pants," you state plainly.
 "YourâŠpants,â he echoes, amused, but waiting for clarification.
 "Theyâre too restrictive. I don't have full range of motion." You wriggle under him and his eyes fall to your shorts. He admires the way the taught fabric hugs your thighs.
 âHmm. Well, we wouldn't want this to be an unfair fight, would we?â He leans back and grabs the top of your pants and frees you from their confines. He sits back on his haunches and tosses the clothing side. Then, with as much force as you can muster up, you use your feet to push against his hips, effectively knocking him off balance. He topples over and his back hits the mat with a light thud. He's quite impressed, but before he can sit up and praise you, you crawl over to him and straddle his hips.
 "Nice move," he comments, and looks down to see you resting on his bulge and he can feel the wet heat of your core through his shorts. "Thanks. I learned from the best, " you say with a wink and begin grinding on him, causing the fabric to drag along your folds. You quicken the motion as you feel him twitch beneath you.
 After a few moments, you turn the other way and attempt to rid him of his shorts, giving him a glimpse of your bare ass in the process. The second you finish taking them off, he's pulling you back to hover over his face. You steady yourself and go to scold him for taking back control, but before you can say anything he pulls you down onto his face. Your eyes squeeze shut, and you gasp as he begins exploring you thoroughly with his tongue. You shiver at the warmth of his mouth against you.
 When your eyes finally flutter open, you catch a glimpse of his tip dripping with anticipation, begging to be touched. You lean down, grip his thighs, and begin gliding your tongue over his length. He grunts and you feel the sound reverberate over your clit.
 You want to feel it again, so you take him into your mouth and start sucking his head. He bucks his hips, pushing himself to the back of your throat. He lets out a long groan this time and you pull him in deeper. You gag a little and he grips your thighs tight as your throat constricts around him. You feel his heavy breathing grazing your skin as he laps you up feverishly.
 With your own pleasure building rapidly, you pull your mouth off of him and begin stroking him while letting out a steady stream of moans. You can tell you're getting close. Miguel can too, so he sloppily sucks at your clit, then rolls it gently between his teeth. This proves to be too much for you, and you grip him at the base as your orgasm washes over you. As the pleasure rolls through your body, you clench around nothing and realize how empty you feel without him inside you. He nips at your thighs as you come down and you give him a few sloppy strokes before sitting up, desperate to feel him fill you up.
 You start to crawl down his body, but he quickly pulls you backwards. You land with your back to him, and he secures you in place with his arm across your chest. He spreads your legs, holding them open with his own, and uses his free hand to begin rubbing himself against you.
 "I wanted to ride you," you pout, and angle your hips so that his tip catches on your clit as he slides back and forth against you.
 "By all means, go ahead and try." You attempt to wiggle free but it's futile. "Guess we're doing it my way," He enters you slowly, gliding in with no resistance. You both let out a low moan.
 "You take me so well," he praises. You sigh as he bottoms. He places kisses all up your neck while giving you a few seconds to adjust. His free hand settles on your hip, and you expect him to start thrusting into you, but he surprises you when he flips the both of you over.
 He cages you in against the floor and grinds into you, slowly but deeply. He has you whimpering into the mat, needing him to go faster. But you know he loves to torture you like this, intentionally setting a pace that has you writhing and begging for more, while keeping your climax just out of reach. You crane your neck to try and get a good look at him, but he has his face buried in your neck. You tug on his hair to get his attention.
 "Let me see you," you whine. When he lifts his head, he's enthralled by the sight of you, lips bitten and eyes wide. He crashes his mouth into yours and glides his tongue over yours, hungrily, before pulling away and flipping you over. He grabs one wrist in each hand and anchors them to the floor above your head.
 Desire flares in you as his eyes meet yours, staring back at you with such fervent need. He brings his face closer, and your noses brush as he stares deep into your eyes. Then without warning he's back inside you and begins fucking you with much more momentum than before. You wrap your legs around his hips and the new angle has his length reaching so deep you swear you can feel it in your stomach.
 "Oh fuck, just like that," you say, breathily. Your ankles dig into his lower back, pulling him even deeper, causing his tip to find the exact spot that sends jolts of pleasure straight to your core. Your mouth falls open in a silent scream as he stretches you. His grip on your wrists loosens and his eyes fall shut as he gets caught up the feeling of your silky walls hugging him. As you contract around him again and again, he drops his head.
 You now have a good view of his exposed neck and can see the sweat glistening on his skin. Your mouth starts to water at the sight, and you place a few sloppy kisses up the slope of his neck before dragging your tongue along the skin to get a taste. You feel his hips falter and he relaxes his grip on you. You take this moment of weakness to muster up as much strength as you can and roll him over until you're straddling him.
 He grunts as his head comes to rest on the floor. He moves his hands to your hips to attempt to regain control, but you grab them and put them above his head, mirroring the position he had you in just moments ago. "Who knew a few kisses to the neck is all it takes to overpower you," you tease. You begin to grind on him nice and slow, your walls dragging along his length. He moans and his lips buck under you.
 "Come on. Please," he implores, voice dripping with want.
 "Lucky for you, it's leg day." You plant your feet on the floor and begin to ride him in earnest, and his breath quickens. As you bounce faster and faster, he squirms underneath you, so much so that his wrists come free from your grasp. You place your hands on his chest to hold him down that way instead.
 Your palms travel the broad expanse of his chest and find it increasingly harder to stay steady as the pressure inside you builds. He senses you're struggling a bit, so he grabs your hips to help guide you up and down on his cock.
 Soon your whole body is thrumming with pleasure and, no longer able to hold yourself up, you collapse on his chest. Not wanting you to lose your momentum, he quickly begins thrusting up into you. He wraps his arms around you to pull you down onto him. Within seconds he has you crying out as you tumble over the edge. You bury your face in his chest and plant light kisses across his soft skin as you ride out your high. He fucks you through it, but you're so wet he eventually slips right out of you.
 You're still buzzing from you last orgasm, but he is desperate to feel your warmth again. He rolls you over into your side, then spots the mirror that panels the wall. He sits up and pulls you into his arms with your back pressed to his chest. He holds you tight to him, arm across your chest like a seat belt and the other across your waist.
 He gets up onto his knees and his eyes meet yours in the mirror. Anticipation pulses through you as his arm momentarily leaves your waist to line himself up with your entrance. Raw with need, he slides in and returns his arm to your waist and begins pulling you down onto him in tandem with his thrusts. If it weren't for his tight grip on you, you would have toppled over.
 Your breathing comes out in short, sharp pants and you look up to see the two of you in the mirror. His body is completely engulfing yours. Not only are his arms around you, but your thighs are enclosed by his and they're pressing yours together. It makes you feel even tighter and Miguel grunts into your neck, and he can feel himself creeping closer to his own release.
 He lifts his head to kiss up the side of your face, then meets your gaze. It'd be apparent to anyone who could see the two of you like this that he has the upper hand. You can barely move except to angle your hips to take every forceful thrust. But you both know you have just as much control over him and his pleasure as he does you. It's evident in the way he squeezes his eyes shut and his hips stutter every time you walls grip him tight, and the way he has to do everything in his power not to cum as he hears those heavenly noises pouring from your mouth.
 He has to keep himself from cumming, determined to pull one more from you before he finally gives in. Your eyes flutter shut, and you attempt to reach up to run your fingers through his hair, your other hand hanging onto his forearm. Your nails dig into his skin, and he lets out a soft growl at the delicious burn.
 He dips his head down to nip at your ear. "Touch yourself," he commands, and you go to look at him over your shoulder, but he grabs your chin to angle your face to meet his in the mirror.
 "C'mon. I want you to see how fucking good you look when you touch with yourself. I know your clit must be throbbing, don't you think it deserves a little attention?" The grovel in his voice and his measured thrusts have your mind a little hazy, so you don't move right away. Before your hand can catch up with your brain, he grabs your wrist and shoves it between your thighs for you. He stills his hips and pulls your legs apart so he can get a good look at your spread folds in the mirror.
 "Mmm. It's so swollen, just begging to be played with. Go on, play with that pretty pussy." He gently glides your hand over your exposed nub, then pulls away you start moving on your own. "Look at you, getting yourself off while I'm inside you. Dirty little thing.â
 You do your best to nod in response. "You make me feel so full," you moan out as you swipe back and forth over your clit.
 He involuntarily bucks his hips, pushing himself deeper into you. He curses under his breath, and you lay your head back and look up at him. âYou gonna fuck me?â You question while simultaneously rolling your hips, and he sucks in a sharp breath.
 âOr am I going to have to finish the job myself?â You feign a pout, and he leans down, pulling your bottom lip between his teeth.
 Your words spur him on, and he starts moving again. He's giving you slow, hard thrusts and you squeak as each one hits deeper and deeper. He notices your hand speed up and he fucks you faster to match the pace. The feeling of him filling you up, the soft squelch each time he bottoms out and his ragged breathing grazing your skin is all you can focus on, and he sees your wrist go limp. He's quick to replace your hand with his own. His fingers swirl in fast, tight circles around your clit and you let out what sounds like a sob.
 The sensation is too much, and you go rigid in his arms, white hot pleasure shooting across your body. He sees your eyes roll back as you gush around him, and whispers sweet nothings into your ear. You don't even register what he's saying and eventually go limp in his arms. He can still feel you fluttering around him, and he lets out a deep, guttural moan and releases inside you.
 He gently sets you down onto the mat and collapses beside you, thoroughly drained. As you're attempting to catch your breath, he pulls you up into his side and you rest your head onto his chest.
 "If I knew working out could be this fun, I'd come with you every day," you jest, although you'd be more than willing to add this to your routine.
 âSo, same time tomorrow then?â He asks with a smile.

Could you write anything about Andrew in his blue jeans. They got my going feral, absolutely loosing my shit
a/n: the blue jeans aren't heavily mentioned but i think they still do play an important part
cw: andrew having a dire desperate crush, very slightly suggestive
itâs thirty minutes until heâs supposed to be on stage.Â
heâs in a city heâs played in multiple times, he knows the setlist from back to front, and heâs already thinking about what twists he can put on the songs tonight. the backstage is pretty crowded and bustling; his drummer sits on a chair, idly drumming away to whateverâs playing in his ears at the moment. his bassist has a laugh, chatting with some of the backing singers, a cigarette in one hand. Â
he sits and watches.Â
he knows sheâs far too busy running around from one person to the next, making sure everything is perfect and ready to go. her staff lanyard swishes back and forth every time she dashes past him, and his heart squeezes every time she throws a casual smile at someone else.
âyouâre running around like a headless chicken,â he calls out as soon as sheâs within earshot.Â
she staggers to a stop, looks at him with a raised eyebrow, âyeah, well,â she shrugs, âi have a million last-minute things to look at.â
he knows itâs literally her job, but in this moment, all he wants is for her to sit next to him (better yet, for her to sit in his lap) and just talk to him. about anything and everything. but then a small smile blooms on her face and his heart skips a beat.Â
âyour pins are all wonky,â she laughs a little and gestures for him to stand up.
itâs become a bit of a habit for him now, wearing the pins crooked by just the slightest. it happened a few months ago on accident when he was rushing, but then he saw how it irked her and how she was dying to fix it. how close they both stood while her fingers worked deftly at aligning them. Â
and so now he does it on purpose, wears them just crooked enough to irk her so she would come over and fix them for him. but he has to be careful enough not to do it every time. and on days he wears them perfectly, he constantly dreams about what it would be like to have her hands still brushing against his chest.
âblue jeans today?â she quirks an eyebrow, looking him up and down.
âoh, you know all about my fashion choices, do you?â he teases, trying to compensate for how breathless he feels. a faint scent of jasmine washes over himâher shampoo or her body lotion, he doesnât knowâbut his mind has started associating the scent with her and her alone.Â
ânoâŠâ she trails off, looking at him a little sternly, and he worries a bit that heâs teased at the wrong time.
she was clearly running around, busy with other things backstage and now heâs sprung an additional task on her. heâs worried that heâs come across as a petulant rockstar who needs assistance for as simple a task as this.Â
âthey look nice on you. better than the black,â she bites her lip to stop herself from smiling and his brain short circuits.Â
for one, sheâs just teased back, even if it was barely anything. and now all he can think about is biting her lip while holding her in his arms.Â
the height difference between them means that every time she looks up at him, itâs through her eyelashes. his lips part slightly, like he canât get enough air into his lungs. and he canât; he canât just go around burying his face in her hair and inhaling deeply. so he has to collect little bits and pieces of her whenever he can and store them like stolen candy.Â
âthere,â she says once sheâs done and gives him a little pat on his chest, ânow you look all handsome again.â
him. handsome. she thinks he looks handsome. heâs sure he has the stupidest, silliest grin on his face.
âoh god, donât smile at me like that,â she blurts out. itâs rushed, almost a whisper, almost like it wasnât supposed to be said out loud, but her eyes widen. and she looks away in an instant.
âwhy?â he feigns arrogance, seamlessly slipping into the confident artist his fans meet, âdoes my devastatingly handsome smile make you go crazy?â
she rolls her eyes but doesn't take a step back. she doesn't even move her hands from his chest. which is a bit of a problem because his heart is racing.Â
âyou okay?â she asks and he watches her brows furrow in concern.Â
shit. shit. shit. he has to think on his feet, and the only thing he canât do right now is focus!Â
âjust nervous about the show?â
it comes out more like a question, and he wants to kick himself for telling such an obvious lie. she knows he has played here like four times before. she knows he has everything rehearsed and ready to go, and whatever amount of nerves he might feel, theyâre nowhere near enough to make his chest pound like this.Â
she gives him a sceptical look and opens her mouth, about to say something, but someone calls her name. both their gazes snap to see another person on the staff, clipboard in hand, feet tapping impatiently. he feels an instant annoyance because how dare they look at her with anything other than adoration, but then his gaze snaps back to her.Â
âi gotta go,â she gives him a small smile. âbut good luck out there, youâll be fantastic.â
he nods absently, like a pathetic idiot.Â
âand,â she grins âwear that blue jeans more, will you? it really does look gorgeous on you.â before he knows whatâs happening, she stands on her toes and presses a tiny kiss on his cheek. and just like that, sheâs gone, running around the set once again.Â
in a daze, his fingers come up to lightly touch his cheek. multiple neurons in his body are misfiring, and he feels a bit like heâs about to fall off a cliff.Â
he wonders if he should follow her and kiss her hard enough that he will taste her for days. he wonders if she tastes like the cherry lip gloss she uses. then he worries that sheâs just a friendly, affectionate person. and finally, he burns with envy that someone out there might be getting a real, proper good-luck kiss from her.Â
âalright, mate?â his bassist appears, finally back from a cigarette break, and he has to stop himself from unloading everything on him.Â
itâs ten minutes until heâs supposed to be on stage.
and now all he can think about is his blue jeans on her bedroom floor and cherry-flavoured lips.Â

Shouldn't Have Shared (Simon 'Ghost' Riley x Fem!Reader)
A/N: Following up my previous post LOL. This is also not proof read, I was listing to a documentary and listening to music in the background of writing. I didn't intend for this to be so long, but I kinda got lost in writing this.
GENRE: Smut
Summary: 'CAUTION! Do not share or this man will appear in your room!' is what the post said. Of course, it was just a hoax.. wasn't it? Sharing it to feed into your obsession for this fictional man from a video game, you're woken up to a pleasant surprise.
Warnings: Unprotected sex, creampie, overly possessive Ghost, primal, mentions of claiming and ruining.
Word Count: 1009
NSFW UNDER CUT
Masterlist here!
***************
Rustle... rustle, rustle...
Stirring in your sleep, you could feel something was.. off. You felt the air tensing around you, becoming hyperaware of your breathing and heartbeat as you began to wake up from your slumber. Opening your eyes and rubbing the sleep from them, you turned away from the wall only to see the shadow of a large man staring right down at you. Your life almost flashed before your eyes.
Feeling your heart stop, you let a loud shriek of terror at the unexpected silhouette. Sitting up quickly, you push yourself to the corner of your bed, your body working on autopilot as you pegged one of your stuffed animals at him.
You could see the little stuffy you threw bouncing off from his chest, hearing him chuckling under his breath.
"Gonna take a lot more than a stuffed lamb to take me out."
You'd recognise that voice from anywhere.
Holy shit.
Turning on the lamp of your bedside table, you finally got a look at the mystery man standing at the edge of your bed. Eyes adjusting to the light, your eyes widened at the realisation.
"Easy, love, no need to be frightened. It's just me. You know who I am, don't you?" Taking another step, he bent over and leaned his palms into the plush edge of your bed, allowing you to get a closer look at him.
Hmm, blond eyelashes. Cute. Full gear... hot. You nodded, swallowing. He was so much bigger in person. Over a screen you couldn't properly picture yourself next to him, but now that he was up close, it was jarring.
"Good, of course you do."
Slowly, he crouched down and picked up the soft toy, throwing it back next to you. Hearing his voice in person, you couldn't help but shudder as you stared in awe. He was so close, so close to you. If this was going to end in any of the ways you've fantasised about, it was going to end with-
"Tell me, sweetheart, did my character on a screen do me justice, or am I even more striking in person?" he smirked, his voice lingering with an arrogance which would make you gag if it were any other man.
He was real... and damned cocky too.
You hadn't said any words yet, and he noticed your silence, his head tilting as he was almost kneeling on your bed at this point.
"Answer me, lovie."
"Yes."
"You're good at listening, aren't you?" He continued, his voice low in just the right way to send a shiver down your spine. "Now tell me something else, you've always wanted more than just pixels on a screen. You've played the game, you've fantasised, you've shared."
Fuck.
"Fuckin' cheeky for sharing that knowing I'd come find ya, and now I'm here to give you what your imagination can't. Would you want that, lovie?"
Fuck.
You swallowed, hard. The air charged with a palpable energy. It felt as if the room was closing in on you two, the erotic tension flooding the air around you as you felt yourself becoming warmer. While you felt your fluster, your fantasies in turn were becoming more and more real by the second.
God, you wanted this. You needed this.
"Yes."
___
"Quit squirming, damn it."
Your eyes were rolled back. His hand was over your mouth, muffling your pathetic whines. You couldn't risk waking up the house, could you?
Your body pinned down against your bed, his clothed chest against your back. Slamming into you at an ungodly speed with sloppy noised, it was everything you'd dreamed about.
"I said," he started, pulling your hips up with his free hand with a grasp tight enough to bruise, angling every thrust which made you lose your mind, "quit squirming."
It was hard to not drool over his palm, the unholy echo of skin slapping together made you pray that no one else would wake up to hear it.
"Ghost-" you managed to moan out his callsign, muffled against his palm.
"Fuck, baby. Keep quiet f' me." he almost whimpered, his face getting lost and buried in your neck as he nipped and kissed at the soft skin. "Can't have- mmh - ye' waking the others up, can you?"
You were barely able to shake your head, this goddamn hunk of a man keeping you under his weight as he rearranged your insides.
"Sweet girl, how long have you thought about this? Touchin' yourself to the thought of me, now coming into y' room like this and using you like you've wanted." His voice came out as a growl, right against your hear and giving you goosebumps.
One night stands were never your thing, but you could for sure keep this going with him. With your walls clenching around him, your went blurry with tears as your eyes threatened to flutter closed.
His filthy words wavered, his voice breaking as he became increasingly desperate himself.
"Finally been given a taste and this wet cunt is just sucking me in."
With his cock hitting that spongey spot inside you, you tensed under him as you felt your orgasm approaching rapidly. Only a few more thrusts and with a muffled cry, you were coming undone, gushing around him. The feeling only made him whine more as you clamped down on him so deliciously, his hips slamming against your ass were now on borderline primal.
"I'll give you what you want, y're all mine, fuck."
With a final grunt against your neck, you felt the warmth of his cum filling you to the brim. Though, he was so deep inside you that there was no where for his release to go but seep out of you. His his heavy breaths mixed with growls, he removed his hand from your mouth and helped to flip you over.
Pulling you almost down to the edge of your bed, you were put into a mating press, barely comprehending it in your post-orgasm haze.
"We're not done yet. Sweet girl, I'm going to ruin you."
***************

Why Midori is such a breath of fresh air or how to actually write a Villain.
So the awaited essay, the winner of the FrenchGremlin polls of laziness finally has come! It took some time but itâs finally over. If your choice didnât get chosen thatâs okay! Iâll repost a new poll with old and newer options. Please reblog this one i put a lot of time in it, it's like, five pages long over a silly goose. Also sorry for the grammar i sucks and i'm not native. So letâs begin:
(also here is the link to the video format)
So first letâs make things clear, What IS a villain?
âA villain is a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.â That is why I do want to make a difference between a villain and an antagonist, an antagonist is a character who are a plot devices that creates obstruction to the protagonist. That means that a villain is forced to be an antagonist while an antagonist is not forced to be a villain. For example shin is an antagonist but not a villain, he is driven by selfish desires which are themselves fueled by fear anger and loss, he is the protagonist of his own story and is a sympathetic character despite it all, and Midori is just a bitch. Midori falls under multiple stereotypes of villains. Such as âthe mastermindâ, âevil incarnateâ (lmao),ârelated to the protagonistâ etc. Midori is evil, there is no denying in this, he is purely evil, and he doesnât have a sad weepy backstory, he doesnât feel empathy towards other, he is a despicable piece of shit who ruined so many lives. I wonât list everything but here is a list of his crimes, murder, assault, domestic abuse, grooming, verbal abuse, and torture, crimes against humanity lmao, stalking, violent crimes, and participation in a cult. And his worst crime is being a pussy bitch of course. So now that we have put the bases up letâs really begin.
Hollywood has a hate boner against villains and I hate them for that.
Recently Hollywood decided that pure evil bad guys is actually a bad thing, so now they decided to do stupid side story with them, to give them âââdepthâââ since I guess how could we like those villains since they are bad. A great example of this is the Disney remakes which I loathe so much oh god I hate them. So first they did a maleficient it was okay honestly, then they did a freaking cruella movie where her mom gets killed by Dalmatians, thatâs not a joke, in the peter and wendy movie that nobody saw they decided to have made the captain hook be a lost boy who was abandoned by the lost boys and peter, oh also they decided that PETER CUT HIS HANDS OFF AND LEFT HIM TO DIE BECAUSE HOOK WANTED TO SEE HIS FAMILY. They are going to do a freaking mufasa movie, in no time I canât wait to have a Ursula movie where itâs discovered that ariel killed all of her family in cold blood or somethingâs. So you might say whatâs the problem? I mean isnât that supposed to make the story more interesting. No, no it doesnât, because first they take all of the character personality traits and throw them in the bin, second they are supposed to be the vilain in a musical animated movies, I am not against complex villain, I love them, but by doing this, the original character doesnât exist anymore. Just create original content with new interesting characters instead of doing stuff like this. Also itâs kind of funny than in all of those interpretation they take all the fun and sucks it out, what do I mean by fun, the gayness, Disney vilain are fun because they are camp, they are fabulous extravagant extra in all the ways possible, and thatâs the reason we liked them. Not every character needs something super deep, like âmy family was burned down at the stake and my dog was eaten by my exâ, sometimes we just like bad fun people, they are the story, and Hollywood hating them so bad just bothers me a lot. Also now the new thing is to not have a villain at all which can works in some narrative but not all of them, it gets boring after a while. In the past people were angry that villains are bland, but now I kind of miss it. While I will critique villains who have no purpose outside of being evil thatâs dumb, like for example Voldemort is bland like white bread because his only motivation is being evil, but evil people do exist compared to what some Hollywood writers think, they should know. So thatâs why I will put a difference between evil villains and villains whose only purpose is being evil; we loved Disney villains but they still had motivations, goals, reasons that to them a least were worth everything. World domination isnât enough, why do you want world domination, what is the true reason deep in your heart, is it an inferiority complex, is it a savior complex fuelled by xenophobic beliefs.
That is how to write a pure evil villain, evil people exist all over the world, but I have never seen one who doesnât have they own reasons to be so bad, it doesnât excuse their actions nor really explains them. We do not want justifications we want explanations. If you are justifying evil behavior then do it, but donât claim that it is a pure evil character. A pure evil character can be fun, can be interesting, he can be deep, itâs all about balancing all of their traits to truly make them greats. Which is why midori succeeds while current villains fail. Current stupid remake/spin off try to justify the behavior because they feel like this is what the audience wants, but itâs not what we need. So I will defend to the grave evil villains.
Creating an evil villain doesnât make them boring guys.
Why the heck does big budget movies have either the blandest protagonist or the blandest villains sometimes both, like I said evil people do exist but comically evil character only works in satire not in a serious multiple millions of dollar movie. Example that boring ass avatar movie, the one with blue people, none of the characters are interesting the villain is one note. The lords of the rings also suffers from that, but I donât care because the protagonist are so awesome that sauron being personality less doesnât matter. Also sauron is more of a force of nature villains so itâs not the same. The recent kingsman movie has a bland one note villain, there is nothing entertaining, funny, about him heâs just evil, borrrrring. Every Disney remakes depiction of the characters are boring. I just feel bored out of my mind. Atla one of my favorite shows of all time has a main villain thatâs kinda one note, Ozai, but he is actually intimidating guy, azula is the superior character, but I wouldnât consider her a villain she is an antagonist though. I honestly donât get why Hollywood thinks that just creating a character with no personality and whose only goals is to be evil is good.
So back to midori for a second, here is my question, when midori was on screen did you ever feel bored? Never right! Because despite midori being an evil character he has an actual personality, heâs fun, you want to punch him in the balls. Because midori has other personality traits than evil, midori is petty, childish, extremely intelligent, controlling, a natural manipulator, he is a trickster, he doesnât seem to get some social norms, he is narcissistic, easily angry, and fears death etc See how I counted a lot of traits, traits that in other character would works, midori has positive traits, and I think that is the best thing nankidai could have ever done, midori has traits that a regular person could have. Which is why if I put midori in any settings his character would work.
Example, instead of a death game the cast is under the sea to discover the insane wildlife and supernatural stuff happening, what would midori do in this situation? Well he would very passionate about finding all of whatâs happening, heâll do anything to find out, even sometime sacrificing others, not only will he try to find whatâs happening, but he is also going to try to find a way to make this discovery favour him in the end. Or letâs imagine itâs a vampire situation, where a vampire attacks the city, midori would try to stop it, not because he cares, but to experiment on them to get their biology and finds the real secret of immortality since he fears death.
Here is my second advice, after creating your character try to imagine them in another completely different situation, like normal life, or a fantasy world, ask yourself the question what would they do in that environment? If you can find a real complete explanation of their actions then yes your character has multiples dimensions if not try thinking about it again. Some example of questions I do want to point out are some like âif my character had all the power in the world what would they do first orâ, âif my character had only a day left to live what would they doâ
Why is Current media incapable of creating good threats like bruhhhh.
Okay so first of all letâs talk about stakes in a story, letâs say you are watching a slasher movie, slowly the cast gets slimmed down and people die in horrible ways, that should set stakes right ? Well if the villain is an absolute buffoon who makes the stupidest actions and decisions in the world, you wouldnât feel intimidated at all because despite what the filmmaker might try to say the plot armor will NEVER make a character intimidating. Itâs just like a detective character who just seems to know everything without a thought, well you wonât really fear the character failing. Worse is the the final girl, who is for some reason always escaping the slasher guy by pure luck every time, she is shown as incompetent but still she survives, which make the villain seem completely incapable so now you feel nothing.
To avoid this filmmaker often use techniques such has unpredictability, I mean good I mean good ones, for example instead of immediately seeing whose going to survive because the black guys always dies first and the virgin white woman is the last survivor, change the status quo, make us think that this character is obviously safe while they actually arenât at all. Or actually make them menacing by SHOWING to the audience how horrible dangerous they can be. Which is why SHOW DONâT TELL is so important, telling us how dangerous someone can be only to see them get beaten to death at the end of the movie makes us feel nothing.
Midori felt like a impossible person to beat, he is smart, had twenty plans in advance, even in situation where the cast felt like they might have a chance he was always armed, just like the gun he promised to use or the rocket punch. When they felt like they were finally advancing, he put obstacle in their ways, such as the collar game or the moment he put the collar on explode mode for ranmaru. The entire point in the murder game was to make time pass, it took a long time for the cast top realize that this whole time they were losing precious time not realizing that the dummies were the real problem. The characters that made you feel the most hopeless were the dummies, if you won by killing midori they would die, but if you lost you might lose people you love (keiji or gin). It felt hopeless because they were no solutions in the end. That creates tension so that creates stakes. If we were told how dangerous unpredictable sou was then it wouldnât hit the same, we are shown that he is that terrible. There is a scene ingame where bbg shin ai tells us that midori tortured and like to destroy people. Thatâs exposition so TELL, but do you why it works, because we are SHOWN before his behavior. Midori felt unbeatable, so the fact that we were shown his weakness such has his petty behavior, hatred of minors, and fear of death, for the first time it feels like there is a chance that we might survive this. And still after he isnât shown has an incompetent buffoon, he is one, but the narrative doesnât show us that he is.
What is also consider is good to make the audience feel actual stakes is to first really develop well the main characters, how can we feel worry for a character if we donât know them, the audience need to feels emotional connection to the main cast to actually care. You can use things such has moments where there is nothing special happening just character talking getting to know them. Make us feel why we need to care about them possibly losing, instead of being indifferent. Or I donât know maybe make an entire spin off game where we get to have the cast talk to each other and seeing dynamics between character that died early to get them a chance to shine and make their death even more tragic, or even make mini episodes of characters who only got a single chapter to show off their characteristic, to get us to know them better? But thatâs just a silly idea of course, wink, and wink.
My favorite thing about Midori is that he is actually pathetic, like really pathetic, but weirdly realistic?
Midori is the most pathetic character in the cast, yes more than shin, shin is leagues less pathetic. No Iâm not saying that midori is not intimidating or scary, I would piss myself if I saw him. Heâs a scary guy. But if you look at him more closely you can see that he is a baby brat in a big boy suit.
So letâs start by something clear, Sou Hiyori clearly displays antisocial behavior, or in common terms he is a psychopath/sociopath, this illness is very badly seen in medias, I am not saying that people who lacks empathy like him are inherently bad, he is, a lot of people with antisocial behavior actually suffers a lot and have a difficult life. Sou real issues is not his antisocial behavior, itâs his narcissism and god complex. Sou feels the need to HAVE CONTROL over others, he like the feeling of being in power, he sees the rest of the world has beneath him, toys for his pleasure. He says that he âreally like humansâ because despite it all he seems to put himself in a different categories than regular people, they are beneath him. When he loses control his calm and cool behavior disappears and we see his true face, a grown man who has throws a tantrum like a baby. One of the best representation of this is midori views on the cast:
Midori hates kanna, like no jokes he has beef with her, a fourteen years old, actually he has beef with a lot of people in the cast. Midori views emotional people has weak, people who are loving optimistic as beneath him and useless. He preferred when sara was cruel and horrible, thatâs what he loved about her, he liked seeing her scary emotionless side. But Kanna, kanna is everything he hates. A crybaby who not only puts the group in harmony, is a source of hope in general, is the reason he near got to have closure with shin (killing him), he views kanna as ânot fun shinâ. We have many proofs for this, if you type the word kanna kizuchi he says this: âPoor Kanna'd weep! I think a more worthless name would be better for someone like meâ He mocks her, but also himself (Iâlll come back on this later), he calls her worthless. Also in the electric charge minigame, when he can choose who to shocks he chooses two people in particular, kanna who he hates and hinako who ruined his fun by giving the cast a chance in saving ranmaru. But he does also says mean spirited stuff to other people, qtaro and gin. He also says some sarcastic comments about nao and joe, saying that itâs such a shame that they died so young. But you might say why kanna especially? Because he is a petty baby who is jealous of kanna, Yes jealous, of kanna, a fourteen years old. Because he feels like she stole his hubby wubby shin away from himâŠ. God I hate him. And you know what that make him a pathetic idiot, after the scene where kanna beats his ass, heâs all mad and like âuhh Iâm going to pout I wanted you to cry like a lot, now Iâm gonna cryâ. An thatâs actually god, because it humanize him, he wants need thoughts, he isnât one note, and thatâs the most important!
Sou is a villain but before that he is a character, a fully developed character, and THATâS WHAT MAKE HIM GREAT, Sou works because he works realistically, I mean if you forget the robot part, itâs easy to imagine a narcissist man child who needs to feel in power towards other, so his main prey are young vulnerable people.Which leads me to my next point:
Sou is a failure like really, and we arenât sad for him.
Sou failed everything he worked on, he failed to get the paper from alice, he failed whith shin since he had to leave earlier than he thought he would leave, because of his mistake he lost his position in the death game, then he failed to kill gin or keiji, and then he died like an idiot losing his cool and acting like a toddler. And he knows it that why he is a bit self-hating (he should be). And yet none of us feel any sympathy towards him, why? Because sou is one of the most despicable guy in existence. He is a disgusting pervert, sadistic asshole, and abusive narcissistic cunt who thinks he is better than everyone. From the bottom of my heart I hate him sooooo much he is literally the character I hate the most in existence. He abused shin, ruined keijiâs life, traumatized the entire cast, literally assaulted sara like he physically assaulted her. He mocked nao and joe and kugie life as useless. He is an obsessive jerk AND I HATE HIM. And you know whatâŠâŠ Itâs good. Like I actually feel a lot of emotions when I think about him, he fuels me with anger and disgust, and if your characters can make me feel that much rage then you did it, you created an actual perfect character. Hiyori is such a shit person that I think about him a lot, writers shouldnât be scared to make a character such hittable assholes, example bojack horseman in bojack horseman is the vilest man on earth and I love it, because I genuinely hate him. Just like I genuinely love kanna, like really I really love her, I in the same time despise midori so bad. We hate him because he is horrible to good people that WE KNOW AND CARE ABOUT, not random npcs. There is a lot of⊠disgusting implications in his story with shin that I will not talk about it makes me really uncomfortable right now. SO HERE IS A VERY TACKY TRANSITION TO TALK ABOUT WHY I HATE JUNKO FROM DANGANRONPA.
Junko is boring, thatâs it, she is boring, not funny not interesting, she is a fetish, she is the biggest Mary sue on earth, she is a gross character made to make fun of people with disabilities and queer people. Her only traits is being crazy, thatâs it. I wouldnât call midori that crazy actually, heâs methodical calculated, and precise. Crazyness is a term for people who arenât in control of their actions and delusional about reality, sou is not crazy, he knows what he is doing, he is in full control, while characters like shin should actually be consider crazy, like shin is actually crazy but sou isnât.
Conclusion:
Sou is a breath of fresh air, because nankidai had the balls to write an actually interesting deep and threatening character AND make him a villain. He didnât fall into the trap of making him have a sad backstory or good motives, sou is just selfish, thatâs all he is. He make him a fun entertaining guy who you absolutely hates, he made him threatening and at the same time a complete doofus. He made him humane and pathetic.
But the thing that make me love nankidai the most is this
The fact that he actually killed him that takes courage as a writer to just end a character THAT WAY, which is why midori will never come back alive he is forever dead. And that take a lot of talents as a writer to just take one of the most important characters and just get him drilled to death in the anus, like dammn nankidai you are a savage. That fact alone makes him one of the best characters in game, I hate him as a person, but has a character he is a masterpiece.
Though Kanna could solo him

shut up - ajax petropolus x reader
a/n: if i canât find the angst, then i will write the angst
pairing: ajax petropolus x reader
warnings: fights, cussing, the usual cheese
genre: angst with fluff, 1.2k words
tags: @sunflowermotel @maraseavey @tinylatina01 @obx-direction-sos @stfukie @voguesir @morgansmoreid @yunhosleftpinky @adoreyou976
âCâmon. Donât do that.â Ajax huffs, hands stuffed in his pockets. He stands a good eight feet away from you.
âDo what? Seriously, Jax, do what? Tell me what we are doing, I would love to know.â Your eyes widen as you speak.
Ajax is an ass. Ajax has no idea how to communicate. Ajax is telling you, after about two years of flirting and leading you on, that he needs space to figure out what he wants.
âDonât do that! Iâm not doing this to be mean, Y/n. I seriously just need to figure my own shit out. Give me some fuckinâ time!â
You want to scream. You want to shove his stupid beanie into his stupid face and accept the rocky consequences. âTime? You want time?â You seethe.
He does not take the hint that he should immediately say no. âYes! I swear, Y/n, I do like-â âShut up, Ajax. Fuck you.â
You interrupt him. Ajax groans at the sky and prepares to deal with the next argument you throw at him, but it never comes. He looks back at you, and is terrified.
There are tears in your eyes. And he has no idea when they began or what heâs done, but Ajax is speechless for the first time in years. Finally, after standing so far from you during this whole spectacle, he takes one step towards you. âY/n, donât cry, I didnât mean to upset you.â
You take a step back. âShut up. God, just shut up,â your voice is weak and you sniffle in the pauses between words. Ajax feels each pause somewhere in his stomach, a hit to his soul. âYou know what, Ajax,â you back further away from him, âYou want time, you got it. Take all the time you need. Take forever. It doesnât matter anymore. I canât wait anymore for you to decide whether or not you actually want me. You have ruined me for two years. I wonât give you more time, Ajax. Take it for yourself.â
You finish strong, which you think is a win. At least you have not lost all of your dignity in front of him. But he watches your bottom lip tremble, and he feels panic rise in him. His hands are shaking and he is suddenly remembering the way he felt the first time he stoned his best friend and ultimately thought they were dead. The fear that he has forced you away and is now really, finally, losing you takes hold. Time. He just needs time. He just needs to figure out how he can permanently stop himself from turning you into stone, just enough time for that. But how does he say that? âIâm so sorry my hair is made of snakes and every time I get near you I want to be extremely close to you and Iâm terrified that I might hurt you and it scares the shit out of me, but I canât really get rid of them, please give me time to figure out how?â
He supposes that is exactly how he should tell you, but he has no words. Instead he sputters out, âWait,â as heâs watching you walk away from him. And the way you donât pause for him, donât wait at all, should be reason enough for him to leave you alone.
But when has he ever been reasonable?
And so he trails behind you like a lost puppy, gasping for air in between his words as he tells you he really does want to be with you. His feet drag through puddles of recent rain, and your hair is a little damp, and first he hopes your sniffles are because of the weather and not him. Then he wonders how long youâd been out here before he came looking. How long did you wait for him to realize you were gone?
He hopes the splashes the puddles make cover up the wavers in his own voice. âY/n, please, just listen. I swear itâs not like that. No one else. Thereâs nobody but you, Y/n. Iâll fix it, okay? Just a little time, okay? You know how I feel about you. Please, Y/n. Say something.â
He mumbles the last part as you enter your dorm room. You turn around to close the door and he sees your face as you grip the frame.
âItâs late, Ajax. You should go.â
He does not want to go. He is running on pure adrenaline and a little weed when he scales the brick wall up to your dorm window. His mind has never been clearer. The deadly climb up here locked in his plan and his words. He finds the door onto the balcony is unlocked and he stumbles into your room.
You groan and stand. âJax, go.â
âShut up.â He snaps, pointing a finger at you. âSit down. Shut up and sit down. Listen. I have something to say.â
You sit down on the bed. You prop your hand on your palm and nod to him to talk.
He takes the hint. âI get it, okay? Iâm stupid. Dumb as fuck. Really out of the loop. And Iâm bad at telling you whatâs going on, but itâs only because I really like you. Never felt like this for anyone. You know that. You know Iâm head over heels for you.â He tilts his head to the side.
âCheesy,â You mutter.
âShut up.â He points again. âAnd Iâm sorry if I made you feel any different. I didnât know I was doing that. But, Y/n, Iâm so scared of being with you. Iâm so scared of hurting you. And donât tell me itâs only temporary, it wouldnât just be temporary. Things would be different.â He doesnât say the word, but you know what he means. âYou wouldnât trust me, Iâd be even more scared of you. Donât look at me like that, Iâve thought this out. Iâm smart enough to know what that would mean. And what about when I fuck up? I have no brain around you. Iâll do something stupid and Iâll hurt you like I am now.â He rambles, eyebrows drawing closer together as he word-vomits in front of you. He looks away for a second, as if heâs trying to string his mind together. You know what he means.
âYou ever want something so bad, that when the chance to have it comes, you canât take it? Because you have no idea what itâll feel like? And youâve wanted it for so long, that now you canât ruin it. And if you do, itâll be all on you. And you wonât even have that chance anymore, youâll have nothing. And what do I do if I have nothing, Y/n? What do I do if I mess up? How do I fix it?â He finishes finally, and finds that heâs made his way closer to you. Closer than heâs been in weeks, close enough for you to stand and grasp his hand.
âYouâre fixing it now, Jax.â
He looks down at your hand holding his. âIâm not great at this.â He whispers.
âYouâll learn.â You answer.
He looks up at you and is relieved by your smile.
âDo you still need time?â You tease, eyebrows high. He surges forward, pressing his lips to yours, practically suffocating you. He presses warm kisses to your face and then your neck, walking you backwards towards your bed.
You push away from him and he chases after your lips, leaning forward.
âActually, how did you even get in?â He silences your question with another kiss, hand coming up to grasp the side of your neck, thumbing over your jaw.
He shakes his head, âShut up. Seriously. I have waited so long for this, shut up.â

Pet-Names (hypmic)
What nicknames your partner would call you :3 Featuring EVERYONE(except Rei cause I don't write for him woahosoohosp) !!! THIS IS A BIG ONE RAHHHHHH
Mentions of âduring intimacy" in Ramuda's section but no explicit smut. Everyone has attached drabbles :3
âââ
Buster Bros
Ichiro
He's such a babe guy OHHHH my goodness he's such a babe guy. Maybe he'll throw a baby in there too but he throws out babe like it's your second name. It sounds so sweet and casual coming from his mouth you can just hear the smile dripping from it.
"Babe, come here for a sec!" Ichiro calls from the kitchen. With a hm in reply, you come in and see him doing nothing but stand there. You go to ask him why he called you over- only for him to bring you into a warm hug. "I just wanted to hug you baby," he says, kissing your cheeks as you chuckle.
Jiro
Jiro strikes me as the type to only call you cute nicknames as a ploy to get you annoyed. He'll snicker as he calls you his 'pookie little sunshine bear' in front of all your friends and run away cackling as you chase him down. In private he'll be more soft- picking up 'babe' just like his brother calls you.
"Hey darling little sweetie pumpkin bear pie?" He asks you with the most innocent eyes and you glare at him with the fury of a thousand suns. Your friends laugh behind you and you make a promise to get him back later. Later comes with you tickling him with no mercy in the confines of his bedroom. Through fits of laughter and cries he yells, "Babe! Babe! Stop! Please!" Too bad though, maybe he shouldn't have been such a dick :P
Saburo
He's into the classics. More so- he simply calls you by your name cause he's a bit too embarrassed to call you anything else. Once he tried to call you 'babe' like he's heard his brothers do but it sounded so foreign coming from his mouth he'd rather you forget it ever happened.
"H-hey, b-baabeee~" Saburo says, trying to sound suave and immediately regretting it. You're not sure you heard him correctly, sounding more like a squeaking door rather than an actual sentence. "What did you say Sabu?" "N-Nothing!"
Mad Trigger Crew
Samatoki
He calls you classy shit like doll, honey, love. He's so sickly sweet when he calls you these pet names that you can't help the fluster that comes to your cheeks whenever he says it.
You're just about to go to bed, Samatoki already laying down. He's half asleep so you try and get in without much attention. As you fix yourself in bed, his hand finds yours and he stirs in his sleep. "G'night, love," he mutters, voice husk with tiredness. He falls back asleep quickly, unaware of the warmth spreading in your smile.
Jyuto
mjmjmjmjmmhmmhmgmmg he's so annoying. He's gonna pull out all the stops in an attempt to get you flustered but he's so smug and obvious with it that it makes you laugh. I know people consider Jyuto this sex god type beast but in my mind but I cannot imagine him as anything other than a pathetic house plant type of man.
He's leaning over the counter of the bar, sliding a drink he just bought your way. "Why hello there, dream boat," His eyes watch you from behind his glasses to see if you'll give the reaction he desires. "Mmmmm, try better next time, love," you wink back at him and he flusters instead. "Wh- why can't you just play along," he sighs, adjusting his tie and looking down bashfully.
Rio
In my previous writing for Rio I had him call his partner "dear" and I think it's so applicable to him!! He's a classic type guy and him calling you dear is just fjdafjsdkfdsj cute!
At the grocery store you always have to ask him to reach for the items at the top of the shelves. Even if you can reach it yourself it's nice to see how sweet he is whenever he hands the items to you. "Ah, Rio can you grab that pasta up there." "This one dear?" Rio perks up, holding the box in the air. "Yep! Thanks, love."
Fling Posse
Ramuda
AAAA RAMU!! He's gonna call you all the sweets. Sweetie-pie, sweetheart, sweetie, etc etc. Augh he'll even throw out a cutie in there when he's feeling like it. When in private and in intimacy, he'll call you such sweet affectionate terms like dear and love to show just how much he cares.
Ramuda hovers above you. The sheets tickle against bare skin and he intertwines your hands. "You look absolutely wonderful," he says, a smile spreading along his face. Your face flusters at the ever closening proximity between you two as he bends down. "Thank you for making my whole world, love," your lips connect within the darkness of your bedroom.
Gentaro
In public, he'll call you the most complex, cutesy, annoying nicknames when referring to you. Just cause he likes the reaction of the people around him- looks of ludicrousness and cringe. In private, he's not the type to pull a 'baby' or 'honey'. But he is the type to pull out daarin, which translates similarly to "my darling."
Gentaro's awake in the early mornings of the day. While you're still in bed, he's preparing tea for the two of you to share. You start to wake when he sets up a table beside you. "Ah, good morning, my darling," he greets you with a warm smile.
Dice
Similarly to Ichi, Dice is also a babe guy. He's always calling you with the widest smile on his face and a cheery tone to show just how much he cares. He totally calls you babe on social media whenever he posts you two like the sicko he is.
Your phone rings in your pocket and a smile comes on your face when you see the caller. "Hey? What's up?" You say to your boyfriend on the other line. "Baaaaabe-" he starts off and you roll your eyes playfully. "Can you pick me up? I don't have enough money left for the train fair..." "Of course, baby," you say. In reply you get a bunch of fast paced thank yous and smoochie noises over the phone.
Matenrou
Jakurai
He calls you angel cause you're his angel <3. His light in life, the star in his sky. He's such a sickly sweet romantic it's gross and yucky BLAH !
It was a hot day in Shinjuku and you were sitting in front of the house fan, trying to cool yourself off. Home alone for the time being, Jakurai was expected to come back with takeout. It was wayyyy to hot to fire up the stove. As if on cue, the door opens and Jakurai holds a teddy bear patterned reusable bag filled with cold soba and iced drinks. Still in the doorway he calls out to you, "I'm home, angel!"
Hifumi
Hifumi's the type to default to a lot of food based pet names. Pudding, honey, pumpkin, sugar, etc etc. He never calls you these in public, instead calling you by name around people. But in private, he's happy to call you all the sickly sweet food based names he can think of!
Doppo's out of the apartment today and you're visiting your boyfriend. He's cooking up a meal as you sit by him, talking about your day. "Ah yeah, the trains were closed earlier- something about flooding cause of the rain yesterday..." you say, fiddling with a cup of water. "Did you take a cab instead then, honey-bun?" Hifumi doesn't even look at you as he says the term of endearment, focused on the hot pan in front of him. It just spills out so naturally, alongside the accompanying smile on his face.
Doppo
Doppo doesn't really use nicknames- also finding it embarrassing when they slip past his lips. Though, deep down he really really really wants to call you these names! He wishes to be the type that can call his lover baby, love, dear, sweetie, etc etc. Though, they only really slip out when he gets a bit toooo tipsy.
Doppo's head rests on your shoulder on the train ride home. You, as the designated guide for both Doppo and Hifumi after you three went out drinking in the streets of Shinjuku, held onto their arms as you tried to stop them from collapsing on the floor. Doppo murmurs, trying to bat your hand away from holding onto Hifumi in annoyance. "Mmmmm, baby stop holding onntoo him you- HIC- you're mine..." Doppo nuzzles himself into your neck. You silently thank the late night as the train car was basically empty at this time. "I'm the love of yer life... not him..." It'd be a cute memory if Hifumi didn't vomit on the floor as soon as you stepped out the station.
Bad Ass Temple
Kuko
Kuko thinks of you as his little baby, no matter how annoying as it may come off. He loves being really cutesy with you, calling you his baby wherever he can. He's just silly like that!
You're sweeping the floor around his family's temple- gathering the falling leaves that come with the new season. You originally came to hang out with your boyfriend but he was no where to be found (probably procrastinating on sweeping the floor). The quietness is nice, you decide as you enjoy the peaceful change of pace. When a heavy presence hugs you from the back you start attacking it with the broom. "AHHHHH! BABY NO! BABY STOP WHAT ARE- OW! OW!" Kuko screams, disrupting the peace from before.
Jyushi
He's so cute I love him. He calls you all the terms of endearment relating to beauty, handsomeness, etc etc. If you're fem he'll call you princess (HE'S SUCH A PRINCESS GUY RIGHT GUYS???). But his general petname for you no matter your gender is gonna be 'dear.' Cause he's just so cute like that.
After one of his concerts you meet him backstage. He jumps into your arms, still in his stage uniform and makeup. But still, heâs your Jyushi. And your Jyushi peppers kisses all over your face as soon as you find some alone time. âDid you see me? Did you think I looked totally cool up there dear?â Heâs excited, riding off the high from his performance. Heâs smiling, radiating and you canât help but reply with a yes, of course.
Hitoya
He's like Jyuto in he intentionally tries to be suave but unlike Jyuto, he actually succeeds. He calls you cutie cause he just thinks you're so adorable- all the time.
Its' the morning and he's about to leave. You fix his tie at the door, something he always chides you for doing for but never actually stops you from doing. It's a quiet morning and you fill the air with a hum. "And... all done, Mr. Bigshot Lawyer." A break from mundane routine, Hitoya hugs you and brings his face to your neck, speaking into it. "Thanks, cutie." You push him out the door before he can tease you about the flush on your cheeks.
Dotsuitare Hompo
Sasara
SASARAA MY BABY MY BABY. Out of the goodness of my heart, totally unbiased, Sasara is a total romantic UGH. He's the type to pull shit like "my partner," "my baby," "my love," UGHHHHHH I love him.
He comes home slurred, tipsy from a night of celebration with Rosho and Rei. Dotsuitare Hompo just passed their qualifying match to compete in the DRB and they couldn't be more excited. Sasara's drunken state results in 3 things- him struggling to open the door to your shared home, him buying you a several gifts from his night out, and him dropping several gifts on the floor as he tries to open the door. You hear commotion outside and open the door hesitantly. "Hello...?" You call, before you see your partner at the other side. "My baby!" Sasara screams, pulling you outside into a hug.
Rosho
Rosho's a pretty simple man. He doesn't want to overdo it with nicknames (unlike someone he knows) and he doesn't want to be so closed off you question his affection for you. He defaults to a simple "love" when referring to or from you- because that's all he feels for you.
He's grading papers and muttering to himself as he corrects the wrongs and praises the rights. Rosho's hand is in his hair as he whispers to himself. You walk into the living room, where he sits on the floor in front of the TV. Frowning at the messy state you find your partner in so late at night, you sit down beside him rest your head on his shoulder. "Ah- hello there, love," he smiles, a hand coming to your head to pat it. "Rest well."

Hello! May I request an Ethan x reader, Hogwarts AU? The details don't really matter, but I just thought it'd be a cool idea. You're seriously my go-to acc when it comes to anything Ethan/Jack related, so I couldn't think of anyone better to request this to <3
hii, oh my god you donât even know how excited i was while writing this! iâve been wanting to write about hogwarts so iâm really glad you requested this! thank you so so much, i hope you enjoy it! đ€
let the games begin â ethan landry
word count: 2,973
pairing: slytherin!ethan landry x hufflepuff!fem!reader
summary: when y/n, captain of the hufflepuff quidditch team, hears ethan, slytherinâs team captain, underestimating her teamâs ability, they make a bet.
authorâs note: i made the reader a hufflepuff bc thatâs my house, not gonna lie.
WHEN Y/N RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM HER HEAD OF HOUSE informing she had been chosen to be Hufflepuffâs team Quidditch captain, she was absolutely appalled. Girls, sadly and unfairly, werenât often given such positions, so she hadnât expected it at all, no matter how skilled of a seeker she was.
Her stomach turned upside down as she skimmed through the words inked on the parchment over and over again. Of course she was happy to have been selected, but she couldnât help but feel scared. It was twice the weight a normal captain had on their shouldersânot only she had to be a great captain because of the thrill of winning the Quidditch Cup, but she also had to prove women could do as well as men. If she failed, she knew that the chauvinistic assholes around the school would take the opportunity to state once more that women werenât competent enough to hold such title.
Y/N was not going to let that happen, so she spent the remaining days of summer scheming tactics and a training routine. When she got back to Hogwarts, she felt more confident than ever, feeling she hoped she could transfer to her teammates.
The Hufflepuffs were beyond happy and excited to have her as their captain, especially her best friend Cedric, who had always told her she would be a fearless leader. The rest of the houses, though, the majority of the people in it didnât have an ounce of faith on her and threw funny glances her way.
The day professor Hooch posted the upcoming matches, the funny glances turned into ones of pity. The first game of the season would be Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin, and the thoughts were loud around the castleâpoor Y/N, Slytherin will sweep the air with her on her very first game as a captain; hope the Slytherins have some mercy on her. It was clear that pretty much everyone was confident on the outcome of the game. Especially the Slytherins.
âThat game will be as easy as taking a candy from a baby.â the Slytherin captainâs voice ricocheted on the hallway Y/N was passing by. âWe got the first match of the season on our bag, boys.â
Y/N clenched her jaw and marched towards them. âDonât count your chickens before they hatch, Landry.â
The tall, curly-haired boy tuned around with a smirk on his handsome face and looked down at her. âOh, come on, Y/L/N. You donât stand a chance, and everyone knows that.â
The corner of Y/Nâs lips lifted up. âYou know, everyoneâs been throwing shit at me and my team without giving me the benefit of the doubt, and yeah it sucks a bit, but you know what I realized?â
âNope, enlighten meâ he said amused.
âVictory is going to taste much sweeter. And when you have to shake my hand after I kicked your ass, I hope you remember how you spoke too soon. And if you donât, Iâll be there to remind you.â
A wave of respect passed through Ethanâs body. The way Y/N stood up for herself and her team made him feel some kind of way, though he very much liked to push her buttons so he continued with a playful smirk. âYou seem pretty confident, Y/L/N. Wanna make a bet?â
âIâm listeningâ she held his glance.
âIf I win, youâll do my Potions homework for the rest of the season, if you win-â
âWhenâ she corrected confidently. âAnd what can you offer me? Unlike you, I have a brain that is pretty capable of doing homework.â
He tried not to smile âIf you win, Iâll buy you all the books you want each time we go to Hogsmade during this season.â
The Hufflepuffâs eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. âDeal! Oh my god, I have a list of books I want and itâs very large, Landryâ
âItâs very large, Landry. Canât say I havenât been told that beforeâ he said with a mischievous smile and laughed at her disgusted expression.
âPoor soul, Iâm afraid to inform you have been lied to.â
âNah, you want proof? Iâm very happy to show youâ
âYouâre repulsingâ she scrunched her nose.
Ethan chuckled, she was adorable. âDo we have a deal, little badger?â
Y/N stretched out her hand âDeal.â
Y/NâS CONFIDENT SMILE LINGERED ON ETHANâS MIND AND THERE WAS NOTHING THE BOY COULD DO TO ERASE THAT IMAGE. The girl was simply too perfectâgorgeous, smart, funny, brave, kind, confident and so adorable that everytime Ethan saw her on the hallways he wanted to wrap his arms around her tiny frame and squish her to death. He also loved how she didnât take shit from anyone. Y/N was the exact personification of a badgerâcute and friendly-looking, but if you poked her, the claws came out and she would not hesitate to scratch you with them.
Ethan didnât know how he hadnât noticed her before, but now that he did he couldnât get her off his mind. Every glance and smirk Y/N sent his way felt like some sort of prize for him, and now that the day of the match had arrived, the feeling of uneasiness took over his chest. Would he still have her attention once their little bet was over? He guessed no, and so he made it his goal to ensure Y/N kept looking at him after it.
When the teams entered the pitch, the stands roared in excitement. While most of the people didnât have faith on Y/N, they still rooted for Hufflepuff, because their hatred towards the house of serpents was stronger than the lack of faith on the female leader.
âTime to lose, are you ready for it?â Ethan smirked, holding out his hand for Y/N to take it.
Madame Hootch blew the whistle, and Y/N smirked back at the boy in front of her. âLet the games begin, Landry.â
When Y/N was in the air, the concept of time disappeared. She didnât know if the game lasted 20 seconds or 20 yearsâwhat she did know, was that it ended as soon as the palm of her hand surrounded the golden snitch. Hufflepuff had beaten the Slytherin by 250 points, itâs been years since the last time the house of badgers won by so many points.
âCongratulations, Y/L/N. You were amazingâ Ethan said with a, surprisingly for Y/N, genuine smile. As captains, they were the ones in charge of putting everything back in the supply closet, so they were now all alone.
âThank you, Landryâ she replied contently. She was beaming, and Ethan thought she couldnât have looked more beautiful, even when covered in sweat and with her hair all messy from the wind. âYou played amazing, too. Though, donât think that your compliments are saving you from spending your money on me.â
âWouldnât dream on itâ Ethan laughed. He couldnât wait to spend his time with her, to get to know her better.
âGood. Now, letâs go back to the castle. I think you have Potions homework to do⊠on your ownâ she smirked playfully.
âYouâre kinda mean for a Hufflepuffâ he played back.
âWell, if we are stereotyping, youâre kinda nice for a Slytherinâ Y/N bumped his forearm with her shoulder. The guy was super tallâand probably the most attractive human she had ever met.
âKinda?!â he raised his voice, acting offended.
âWell, no matter how nice you are now, I didnât forget the little scene at the hallway. You underestimated me and my team. The fact that Iâm a girl doesnât make me less capable, you know?â
Ethan frowned. âWait, wait, waitâ he stopped her by the shoulders, and she had to tilt her head up to look him in the face. âYes, I thought your team would suck, but not because youâre a girl. Hufflepuff has come out in last place for years, thatâs the only reason I said it. It has absolutely nothing to do with you.â
Y/Nâs eyes softened a bit and nodded slowly âOkayâ
âIâm serious. In fact, last year you were the only good player the team had. If Hufflepuff had points, it was all because of you. Because you never failed to catch that snitch. If you had had great players supporting you, you wouldâve won that cup.â
âYou think so?â Y/N asked, feeling the heat creep up from her neck right to her face. His face was so close, his eyes so bright and voice so soft and sincere that her heart went crazy.
âI know so, Y/Nâ he squeezed her waist. When did his hands get there and why did it feel so good? And why did her name sounded so much better coming from his lips?
âThank you, Ethanâ
Her smile was so shiny that could light up the whole castle âJust telling the truth. And hey, donât tell this to my team but Iâm not completely sad you won that game. I heard what they have been saying on the hallways, about you not good enough for the position just for being a girl. Iâm glad you proved them wrong.â
Was it normal for her heart to be beating this fast? âWell, thank you for saying that. But the talking wonât stop, they are going to find another excuse to keep saying the same thing.â
âThen youâll have to keep winning. Not that it will be a problem, because your team is very good this yearâ
âYou shouldnât say those things about the rival team, Ethan. I think you have a soft spot for meâ she teased him.
âI have known that since that day at the hallway, Y/N. You arenât saying anything I didnât already knowâ he answered truthfully, catching her off guard. âSince that day, I knew you were special. And Iâd like to know you better, if you let me.â
Y/N nodded with enthusiasm âYes, Iâd really really like that, Ethanâ
âWould you like to go to Hogsmade with me? I know we kinda were already, because of the bet. But I mean, be with me the whole dayâ he said nervously.
âI would love to, Ethâ
âGreat, itâs a dateâ he said, and the blood rushed into her cheeks. âAwe, are you blushing for me? How cuteâ
âShut up, asshole.â she pushed him away playfully.
âLetâs go, little badgerâ he felt a little bold, so he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers. Thankfully, she didnât push him away, instead she squeezed his hand.
TURNS OUT, Y/N WAS RIGHT. Their victory wasnât enough, people still werenât aware of her talent as a captain and still found excuses to justify their win. Even after the following matches the Hufflepuff team won. People said it was beginners luck, that the teams took pity on her, or Ethanâs personal favourite: the Slytherin captain was so smitten with her that he let her win that first match and was helping her with tactics.
âThatâs such bullshit! I mean, I am smitten with you but I would never let you win. The win is all on youâ Ethan rambled as they made their way towards Hogsmade.
âI know, Eth. You donât have to assure me, I knowâ Y/N laughed. âI have to say, itâs really cute that you are so mad about what they have been saying about me.â
âHow are you not mad? It doesnât make any sense. If you were a men, they would be kissing the floor you walked onâ
âI know that too. But I have reached the point in where Iâm just so sick of them coming at me that I just ignore it. If I react, theyâll say Iâm overreacting and itâs just going to get worseâ
âToday I almost punched a Gryffindor who was talking shit about youâ he admitted.
âPlease donât punch anyone for me. Itâs not worth itâ
âAgree to disagree. If anyone is worthy, itâs youâ
âYouâre so sweetâ she kissed his knuckles. âBut really, donât do it. Just imagine you punching him, thatâs what I doâ
âFineâ he scoffed. âNow, letâs get your books and see how much it hurts my walletâ
Y/N laughed. âYou donât have to buy me books, Eth. I only wanted to prove Iâm good at being captain, and I didâ
âNope, I am buying you all the books you want.â Ethan said, opening the door of the book store. âDonât hold back.â
Y/N didnât hold back. Ethan exited the little bookshop with a bag full of romance books and a happy Y/N on his arm.
âBet you regret that bet nowâ Y/N laughed.
âIf there is something in my life I donât regret is making that bet, Y/Nâ Ethan said in a serious tone. âBesides, I wouldâve bought every single book in that shop if it meant you would keep smiling at me like that.â
Y/N couldnât take it anymore, if she didnât kiss Ethan she might die. So she carefully set one hand on the back of his neck while the other cupped his jaw and she stood on her tip-toes.
âI want to kiss you, Eth. Really really bad, is that okay?â she whispered.
Okay? It was more than okay. And instead of answering with words, he lowered his head and their freezing lips met. Suddenly the warm in their hearts nullified the icy feeling that the December snow had been putting on them. The air was extremely cold, but nothing seemed to matter other than the kiss they had been wanting since their small confrontation in the hallway at the beginning of the year.
THE REST OF THE SEASON WENT THE SAME WAY. Hufflepuff won almost every match, yet people still had doubts when it came to the captainâno matter how much she hustled and put in the work, they wouldnât give her any credit and still questioned if she deserved the title. No matter how fast she ran, she couldnât get there, she couldnât earn their respect.
True to his word, Ethan never got physical with anyone who talked shit about his girl (which didnât mean he wouldnât call them out) and would instead reassure her countless time how capable and amazing she was. Which lifted her spirits more than he realized.
The final match was coming and Y/N could barely eat from nervousnessâit would be Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor and she knew it was going to be tough. Oliver Wood was a force to be reckoned with and so was his team.
The pressure was drowning her, itâs been years since she had seen the Hufflepuff house so hopeful, and if the victory slipped from her fingers it was really going to crush her. At least she had Ethan now, if she didnât, she was pretty sure she wouldâve already drownedâhe was her life jacket. Cheesy, but true.
âAre you going to wear something yellow for me?â she asked in a teasing tone, straddling his lap. They were on the locker room, sitting on a bench as the girl waited for her team to arrive. Ethan was there for emotional support, because in only a few hours they would know who the cup will belong to this year.
âIâm always wearing something yellow when you play. Discreetly, of course. But not today, today everyoneâs going to see me fully rooting for my girlâ he said pressing kisses on her neck.
âTheres no way youâre going to do that in the middle of the Slytherin bleachersâ Y/N laughed shaking her head. They had been keeping their relationship low-key, but now that the season was almost over they decided they didnât want to hide it anymore.
âYou wanna bet?â he smirked, making her laugh harder.
âOkay. If you win, Iâll let you use the Prefects bathroomâ she said.
âFuck, yesâ he said excited. He had been begging her to let him use it, but like the good girl she was, she refused. She took the Prefect position as seriously as her captain position. âItâs almost time. Kick asses, babeâ
âYou bet I willâ
âNo matter what the outcome is, I want you to know Iâm very proud of you. For being an amazing captain and for putting up with the shade everyoneâs been throwing at youâ Ethan said cupping her cheeks.
Y/Nâs eyes filled with tears. âYou donât know how much it means to me, Eth. Thank youâ
âYou got this, babe. See you in a couple of hours, Iâll shower you with kisses. Everywhereâ his eyes turned a little darker when he said the last word.
âGive me a preview?â she looked at him in the eyes.
âGod, you canât give me bed eyes when Iâm supposed to leaveâ he groaned.
Y/N giggled and kissed his cheek âI love teasing youâ
THE BATTLE FOR THE WIN HAD BEEN LONG, BUT THE HUFFLEPUFFS STOOD CHAMPIONS THAT AFTERNOON. They gave their blood, sweat and tears for that, and their karma came in form of a gold shiny cup.
Y/Nâs karma was also her boyfriend, who sprinted towards her in a yellow shirt with the number 13 and her last name on the back. Ethan spun her in his arms as they both laughed and cried.
âYou did it, babe. Holy shitâ he said happily.
âAnd you wore a Hufflepuff shirt. My shirt! Oh my godâ she laughed. âI love youâ
Ethan stood still for a moment, but then he smiled widely. âI love you too. So muchâ
âThen kiss me for Merlinâs sakeâ
âI love youâ he repeated when they pulled away. âGo celebrate with your team, Cap. Meet me at midnight at the bathroom?â
âI love you too. And yes, meet you thereâ she replied breathlessly.
âUnderwear is optional, by the wayâ he whispered in her ear, making a rush of electricity run through her body.
âIf itâs not necessary, then why wear it, right?â she smirked.
He kissed her once more. âCanât waitâ

Shameless, pt. 3
snape x professor!reader fic
Shameless Masterpost
hey yall B) it's time for part 3.. i'm hoping i've done this chapter justice, though i am a little doubtful, only because this was sort of a filler chapter, it doesnt have muchhh plottt.... i just love the hateful/resentful relationship between the reader and snape at the moment, does that make me toxic lmao? :( </3
there is not much else to say, so i hope you enjoy this next part, honestly i have no idea how many parts there is going to be, i'm sort of writing it until i'm happy with what happens sort of thing.
anyway, it's lights out and away we goooo!! (if you get this reference i love u)
The chilly, biting air blew through you like a windstorm as you rushed to catch up with the strawberry-blonde author, the adrenaline that was pumping through you doing most of the work. Without a beat, you reached Lockhart, your hand colliding with his chest as you pushed him into a shadowed area; his back - once again - slamming against the wall with a thud.
A look of shock and complete, utter fear was spread on the Gilderoy's face as you pointed your wand in his sorry face. "As I was saying before, Lockhart," you growled, prodding the tip of your wand into his chest, "If you ever pull that shit again, I will not hesitate to have you removed from this school." You huffed, clenching your jaw. Gods, you could kill him, honestly! "What in the ever sweet-loving hell were you thinking? A student could have been harmed!" You hissed at the man, who had now composed himself. Honestly, you were holding back from hexing him. "Actually, Longbottom almost was!" You added, fire in your eyes.
"I'm sorry, truly, I am." Lockhart said guardedly, watching you with cautious eyes as you stepped back to give him some space. "It wasn't my intention, I promise you-"
"Incompetence is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Lockhart, believe me." You warned him, allowing yourself to calm down a little bit. You might've gotten a little carried away.
"Understandably." Lockhart replied, his eyes flicking between yours and your wand
"I'm glad we have an understanding." You said coldly and gestured for him to leave. If you looked at him again, you were worried you might lose your cool. You'd never gotten so angry with someone before, but placing students in harms way because of a stupid mistake truly pisses you off. It's shameful.
The crunch of Lockhart's boots against the ground faded out into the cold, bitter air as he scurried away. You stood still for a moment to gather yourself and your thoughts, running a stressed hand through your long hair.
"Feel better?" A sudden deep, husky voice came from behind you. You almost jumped out of your skin as you spun around to find Snape, equipped with an amused smirk on his white face as he relished in your fright.
"Bloody hell, Snape!" You scoffed, throwing a hand against your chest. Where did he come from, didn't he leave earlier? Was he following me? You wondered to yourself, a suspicious frown landing on your face. That familiar burning sensation began to creep up onto your cheeks and neck as you looked at him.
"For a Hufflepuff, you're certainly⊠fiery." The corner of his lips quirked upwards as he clasped his hands behind his back. You swallowed thickly as he stepped towards you, your heart beginning to pound again once more. "Perhaps the sorting hat made a grave mistake all those years ago." He added, articulating each word perfectly, tilting his head at you. You rolled your eyes at him, standing your ground. You refused to let him intimidate you again. You were equals now, and you wanted him to treat you like one. Snape's face twisted into a taunting sneer. "After witnessing your reckless yet, dare I say, impressive outburst, you would have made a fine Slytherin student."
"Oh, what an honour." You groaned sarcastically. What a backhanded⊠compliment? You weren't sure. Despite your confident facade, you could feel the walls you'd built crumbling as Snape leaned forwards at you, his lips curling into a face of disgust at your reply. "I am not selfish, nor arrogant. I would rather put others before myself." A rush of anxiety washed through you, like you'd just missed a step on the stairs.
"Ah yes, the most obvious downfall of Hufflepuffs. Selflessness." Snape smirked at you. He was clearly enjoying how easy it was to get under your skin and irritate you. Gods, he was driving you crazy, and you honestly didn't want to know whether it was the good or bad way.
Most definitely the latter, let's be serious here. "Ah yes, truly sorry that we also value people other than ourselves." You mocked the Potions Master, secretly desiring a reaction from him. Though, he didn't say anything, he only kept the smug smirk on his lips, his eyes narrowing at you as he studied you. It's like he knew what you wanted and he refused to give it to you.
The silence was deafening, and it was making you squirm underneath his nose. You hated the way he could command a moment perfectly.
"A brave little thing, aren't you?" Snape said. Little thing? Who did he think he was?
"Why did you follow me, Snape?" You questioned him, ignoring his demeaning insult. You were curious as to why he followed you, surely there were better things to do than pursue the Herbology professor. "I was merely curious as to why you took off at such speed." He answered matter-of-factly.
"Hm," You clenched your jaw, "and were you satisfied with your findings?" You asked tauntingly. Your breath hitched as he stepped towards you again, making you step backwards until your back hit the wall. Your chest was quite obviously heaving at this point, and you were doubtful it was to do with your frustration.
The wizard stared at you for a beat, observing your movements. "It doesn't bode well for you to be found reprimanding your colleagues, Professor L/N." Snape simply said, disregarding your previous question
"I believe you would think different, had you seen what I did, Snape." You replied with a frown. "Pixies were flying freely in his class, causing utter chaos and torment to the students- I mean, they'd hung Longbottom by the hood of his cloak on the chandelier!"
"Lockhart will not last here, we both know that, L/N." Snape declared, leaning back slightly, as if to back off from you. The hostility in him was still present, though. "As for Longbottom, I'm not surprised. That boy is always finding himself in perilous situations." He added, glancing to the right momentarily with a look of disgust. He looked back at you, sending your heart into a rapid beat once more. "I suggest you keep your nose out of things that don't concern you."
"Lockhart came to me." You laughed dryly, offended that he'd assumed you were drawn to the drama. "He came to me for help."
"Poor choice, clearly." Snape sneered. You opened your mouth to bite back at him. "However, possibly a smart move. Choosing the faculty fledgling. Easy to use. Though, evidently, Lockhart did not possess the foresight to see that it would backfire on him. He clearly misjudged your⊠spunky character." He continued, making you snort. He cocked a questioning brow at the noise. "Do not mistake me, I did take pleasure in watching you admonish that blundering fool."
You were shocked to say the least, to actually hear something positive fall from Snape's lips. Did he really just say that? You stood there, dumbfounded, staring up at him.
"You look startled, Professor L/N," The Potions Master smirked down at you. Understandably, you were speechless. "Is it such a foreign concept for you to hear me speak well of you?"
"I'm astounded that you're surprised by that. It's a rare occasion that you dish out positive feedback, let alone compliments. I thought you were more self-aware than this, Snape." You said, feigning confusion. Snape's smugness was soon wiped clean as another more familiar facial expression of his took residence upon his features - a stone-cold glare
You couldn't help the tiny smile that tugged at the corners of your lips, an unusual warmth blooming in your stomach. Yes, you were truly taking pride in successfully insulting Severus Snape - at this point, who wouldn't?
"Touché." Snape glared at you. Another moment of silence passed through you and Snape as you stared each other down. It was weirdly intimate, again. The two of you seemed to be forming a habit of this.
Snape was the first to break. You gasped softly as the Potions Master swiftly swept away from you, his cloak billowing out behind him like a wave that refused to break. You've come to understand that goodbyes are not in Snape's vocabulary.
Watching him walk down the hallway, you presumed to his quarters, you let your head fall back against the wall behind you. A quiet sigh of relief fell from your lips. You weren't sure how long you could keep up this hateful mask to hide your blooming affection for him. It was easier to pretend that you hated him, even though he sometimes did nearly push you to that extreme.
A week or so went by without another close encounter with Snape, and you were surprisingly content with that fact. It gave you time to process everything and most importantly - settle into your new position as the Herbology professor. You'd partially seen him in the Great Hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or whilst walking in the hallways but you never evoked a conversation with him. You acknowledged him with a polite nod, but that was it.
After that unorthodox interaction with him in the hallway that night, the hostility had simmered down between you two. Sure, he was bound to say something tongue-in-cheek soon enough, but you'd avoided him because of that risk, and also to do with the fact that your crush on him was truly growing out of your control. You were just hoping he didn't notice.
Today was a Saturday, and it was around ten o'clock or so in the morning. Since you had no classes today, you thought you'd complete an inventory check, to replace and monitor the levels of herbs and other plant bits and bobs you had. You'd just finished four classes worth of grading after starting at eight o'clock, so you were craving something practical, really. The constant repetitiveness of reading the same thing over and over again almost sent you into an eternal slumber. No Wiggenweld or Wideye potion could have saved you.
As you dug through your cabinets in your greenhouse, you noticed some things were missing. "Huh." You muttered to yourself, sitting back on your haunches, observing the storage unit. You leaned forwards and rummaged through it again, assuming you'd miscounted.
No, you weren't wrong. Things were missing.
Billywig stings, Chinese chomping cabbage, dandelion roots, dittany⊠Your nose scrunched up in slight annoyance as your mind immediately thought of Snape. McGonagall did mention at the beginning of the year that he might snoop through your cabinets and take some ingredients for his Potions classes. You just didn't expect him to take this much.
Luckily for him, you were in a pleasant mood, so you weren't inclined to scold him for stealing from you, but rather just have a word. Not that he'd care if you did choose to berate him.
You sighed as you stood up from kneeling, your hands brushing off your now dusty skirt. Off you go, to the damp and dingy dungeons - not particularly one of your favourite places at Hogwarts. The weather had really changed over the past few days, it was now nearing the end of September, and so the rain and clouds had really started to take hold. As of right now, it was quite dark and dingy outside, the clouds almost black, like a warning to stay inside. You groaned at the depressing sight. Spring was your favourite season of the year, of course, being a Herbologist.
Quickly scurrying out of your greenhouse, across the outside courtyards and towards an entrance to the castle, your hand rose up to protect your head as a drizzle of rain started to fall. Reluctantly making your way to where Professor Snape resided, a rush of anxiety and butterflies stirred in your stomach. Was this a bad idea? Probably. Were you going to turn back? Possibly.
As you neared the spiral staircase down to the dungeons, a sick feeling gathered within you. Almost like a gut feeling. Perhaps this was a bad idea. You stopped in your tracks for a moment, torn between the desire of running away back to your greenhouse, pretending like you had no clue that Snape had been in your greenhouse and taken some things, and the desire of giving him a piece of your mind, respectfully, of course.
You shook your head to yourself, as if to rid your mind of your doubts, and so you carried on downwards, the smell of damp earth and what seemed to be decaying stone, interwoven with fresh moss. It wasn't too pleasant, but it was bearable, and it reeled you back to your time at Hogwarts when you used to travel down here for your Potions classes with none other than the brooding Professor Snape himself.
Your nose scrunched up as you thought back to the amount of times he had berated you in class for messing up such simple instructions, but you just weren't cut out to be a potioneer; Herbology was your calling.
You hesitated on the last step of the stairs, suddenly regretting your idea of paying the Bat a visit. Fuck it, you thought. You needed to establish some sort of boundaries.
A voice pulled you from your thoughts as you halted your body.
"Professor L/N," Snape's recognisable deep baritone rang out in the dark, gloomy hallway of the dungeons. His tone was almost questioning. It was a given, considering you were not a common passer-by in the dungeons. Thinking about it, this was probably your first time down here in a long time. His lips just uttering your name sent a chill down your spine. You cursed yourself for that. You had to squint slightly to spot his tall, broad and black figure in the shadows, partially illuminated by the torchlights hung against the walls.
"Professor Snape," You greeted back awkwardly. He stood straight, face adorned with his usual cold stare, one hand falling from the knob of his classroom door and moving to clasp his other behind his back. He was clearly waiting for you to explain your reasoning as to why you were down here, but you were sure he had inkling as to why. He wasn't stupid. "Erm." Your mind went blank. This was fucking embarrassing.
You glanced up at Snape, watching him tilt his head at you. He was silent. He was obviously enjoying your squirming as you tried to think of something to say to him.
"I've noticed some things missing from my cabinets." You finally said, trying to push aside the waves of embarrassment that were currently flooding your body. "I'm presuming it's you taking the ingredients?" You questioned quietly, avoiding the risk of conflict with Snape again. As much as it's fun to push his buttons, you did not have the energy this morning.
"Good observation." Snape said blankly, stalking towards you slowly. You felt your heart pick up in speed as another rush of anxiety ran through you.
"I appreciate the fact that you need them for your lessons, but I'd also appreciate the fact if you'd at least tell me." You said politely, desperate to keep the conversation calm and somewhat civil, watching nervously as he walked closer to you. You forgot how intimidating he could be when you weren't fueled by adrenaline and rage.
Snape cocked a brow at you, his eyes narrowing a tad as he studied your face. Your eyes were partially widened, lips parted to some degree. It was a very drastic change from the angry one he'd witnessed in the hallway.
"Would you like me to leave you a poem, and a cookie, too?" Snape teased you with a haughty look, purposefully provoking you. A quiet sigh slipped your lips as you rolled your eyes. That familiar mixture of irritation and lust rushed through your body.
"And here I thought we could have a civil conversation." You said bitterly, looking up into his dark, almost black eyes. Your cheeks burned hotter as you stared up at him. Snape was silent for a moment as he watched you. There was that rage again, bubbling inside you.
"How foolish of you." He simply said, that common amused smirk tugging at his lips. You felt your fists ball again, your nails digging painfully into your palms. This was a mistake for sure, you were in such a good mood today, and one visit to Snape had unravelled that. Gods, he was such an ass.
"Clearly." You bit back, venom sizzling in your voice. Snape's brow quirked at your tone, his eyes flicking between yours, as if trying to read your thoughts.
"If you have come to lecture me on my habits, Professor L/N, then you have come in vain." Snape said, looking down at you, observing your restless movements.
"Why? Too far up your own ass to accommodate other people's wishes?" You challenged him, though, you slightly regretted your choice of words almost immediately. Sometimes, you wondered how this man made you lose your temper and the leash on your tongue so easily.
"You are way out of your depth here, L/N." Snape warned you, his voice darkening.
Yeah, you were fully aware of that. Though, being the stubborn person you were, you refused to back down from Snape. This also seemed to be becoming a habit.
"Perhaps," you noted, quirking your lip, "or am I just making a good observation?" The rush of adrenaline pumped through you again, prompting your brave and daring words. You did not want to make an enemy out of Snape, but his rude and unnecessary comments were starting to grate against your patience. A beat of silence passed over the two of you before he spoke again.
"Will that be all, Professor L/N?" Snape glared at you, his patience wearing thin with you. The wizard's voice was harsh, almost biting. Maybe you really did piss him off this time. As much as you wanted to continue throwing insults at him to satisfy your own selfish needs, you should really take this moment to leave. Avoid making things worse, no?
"In truth, no," You shook your head at him, prompting a roll of his eyes. You clenched your jaw at his reaction. "I'd like it if you did actually leave a note or something along those lines to let me know what you've taken and used." You said calmly, trying to avoid another bout of conflict with Snape. The two of you seemed to butt heads constantly, probably due to your rather obvious differences.
"Yes, yes. I'll be sure to do that the next time I require your herbs or plants." Snape replied curtly, seemingly a little tired of this conversation.
Your face quickly twisted into a contortion of shock and confusion.
"âŠOkay⊠thank you?" You stumbled, frowning suspiciously at him. So, he just accepts your demand? Like that? Is this what it's like to be treated as an equal? Whatever you could get, you were going to take it. Just bite the bullet and leave, you thought. This was it.
Or was this some sort of mind-fuck?
"Do not thank me." Snape scoffed, his hands still clasped behind his back menacingly. Ah, no, there it was, you thought. 'Thank you' did not exist in his vocabulary either, then?
"So close, yet so far." You muttered amusedly, tilting your head at Snape curiously. You waited for another glare from him for being a smart-arse, but instead, Snape's lips quirked up into a smirk - an amused one at that.
It was a weird interaction. But with Snape, things were going to be weird; he wasn't a normal person. You'd be beating a dead horse if you wanted him to act like an average human being.
In secret, over the past few encounters with you, he'd grown respect to you - albeit a little - but it was enough. Satisfactory. In regards to the tongue-in-cheek, bordering offensive comments that fell from his lips, he only tended to push your buttons because you made it so easy for him, he found it rather entertaining to get under your skin and irritate you. In fact, it was highly amusing to him. For all his time at Hogwarts, it was refreshing to have someone that could keep up with his remarks and keep him on his toes, however annoying you may become. Although, he would never admit that to you⊠unless poisoned with Veritaserum.
"I have some grading to do." Snape announced, breaking the silence and your train of thought, continuing to stare down at you, inferring that he was indeed leaving now. You swallowed, nodding. The air surrounding you two was⊠weird, you couldn't put your finger on it. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it also wasn't comfortable.
"Likewise, Snape."
"Severus," he corrected you, narrowing his eyes, "you may call me Severus. We are, after all⊠colleagues now." Severus said, hesitating like he was almost inclined to say equals. You felt your heart leap into your mouth at the correction and you blinked quickly, a little taken aback at how he had suddenly changed. It was like you'd finally broken through his first defences and possibly earned some sort of respect. Perhaps he was testing you those past times, seeing how far you'd go, seeing if you'd break down and leave Hogwarts because of his relentless and cruel remarks. Nonetheless, you persevered through it and came out on top, despite the probable heightened blood pressure caused by the frustration and stress he gave you.
Still speechless from what he'd said, you stared up at him with big, wide eyes. "I suppose you may call me Y/N." You said quietly, your cheeks beginning to tint pink again from the intense gaze the two of you were holding. There it is, you inwardly groaned as your body betrayed you in front of Severus once again. At this point, there was more chance of you becoming the Minister of Magic than hiding your feelings. It was only going to get worse, you thought helplessly.
Severus tilted his head at you for a moment, observing you before swiftly turning around with a dramatic twirl of his cloak and floating into his office, the door shutting behind him with a heavy thud.
