Crush on You/ You're Mine (if only in my mind)
For @steddie-week
Prompt:July 6: dizzy/drunk confessions/Crush on You by Bruce Springsteen
Some mature content, sexual talk. MDNI 18+
Eddie was feeling the burn of the whiskey down his throat, he was glaring out into the crowd as some tall punk let his hands run over Steve, grabbing his hips, that glorious ass that Eddie fantasized about. He turned back to the bartender, Julie something, a girl who'd become close with the group. Eddie originally planned to talk Robin up to her tonight since he had sensed some mutual pining between the two, always watching the other a flush high on their cheekbones. That got derailed when almost immediately reaching the bar the duo had been swept off by strangers and now Eddie was suffering watching someone else holding the man he'd loved for the past ten years now.
Julie came up to Eddie, a refill already in hand and tipped her chin towards the devastation behind him, “I see your friends are occupied tonight.”
Eddie dropped his head onto the bar then looked up at her, “Does it ever get easier?” He asked, “aching for someone you know you'll never have?”
Julie tsked at him, and reached a hand out, flicking him in the forehead. She reached beside her and pulled out a flier showing tonight's karaoke theme he'd forgotten all about, it started soon. He raised an eyebrow.
“You know his favorite singer, come up with something eddie-spaghetti. You don't know that you can't have him unless you try.”
Eddie sat with his drink and stared at the flier, after a couple more shots of whiskey he had a plan. Albeit a stupid plan, but a plan nonetheless.
He stood walking to the booth and whispered to the DJ who raised an eyebrow until Eddie explained the choice then smirked and nodded.
A few moments later Eddie was on stage, spotlight lit on him and every nerve trying to sweat it's way out of his body, and then the music started
The first few verses were shaky at best, and then he made eye contact with Steve who was beaming at Eddie bopping along to his favorite music. He belted out pointing at Steve as the world diminished to just the two of them.
“Well now she might be the talk of high society
She's probably got a lousy personality
She might be a heiress to Rockefeller
She might be a waitress or a bank teller
She makes the Venus de Milo look like she's got no style
She makes Sheena of the Jungle look meek and mild
I need a quick shot, Doc, knock me off my feet
Cause I'll be minding my own business walking down the street... watchout!”
He went to spin out as the energy finally consumed him when a dizzy spell hit and he pinwheeled off the stage straight into Steve's arms.
Eddie stared up into those beautiful hazel eyes as he looked over Eddie checking for new injuries. When he looked back to Eddie he smiled that shy small smile Eddie loved so much and carried him bridal style over to the booth to sit them down, but kept Eddie in his arms so he was now sitting squarely in his lap.
“Careful, sweetheart, your dancefloor Casanova might get the wrong idea you holding me in your arms.” Eddie grinned.
Steve snorted at Eddie, “My only Casanova I'd give a shit about is a nerdy ass metalhead who can't seem to take a hint” Steve said back pinching Eddie squarely on his butt who squeaked and jumped.
“Hey! I'll have you know, that, wait….what?” Eddie began and stopped, eyes wide.
“Yeah, Eddie, I've danced with other people but only because you never make a move. I told you I was bisexual, I've cuddled up to you in bed, not them, I go home with you no matter where we go, in fact have you ever even seen me kiss a dance partner?”
Eddie inhaled, “Well…no.”
Steve continued, “Right, and I've always made you the little spoon when we snuggle. I pull you into my lap, you've literally woken up with me rock hard against your back numerous times and I've not once ever acted guilty. I've fixed your hair, held your hand, made you breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I even started listening to all your music and getting invested into all your hobbies. And still, you act as though I'd give a shit about anyone else, Eds? What next, I Tattoo “I'm down bad for Eddie Munson” on my lower back and show you?” Steve took a breath, “I've loved you since the boathouse, you were what made me realize I wasn't straight. I had inklings before, but you made it clear as crystals. I don't want anyone else, just you.” He leaned his forehead against Eddie's shoulder.
“So, does that mean I can keep you forever?” Eddie said after a moment his hands finding their way to comb through that glorious head of hair.
“What it means is unless you literally throw me over the nearest cliff I'm not going anywhere. You're mine Eddie Munson, I'm going to marry you one day and become Mr. Steven Munson, I'm gonna grow old drooling over you, choking on your cock whenever I can, and pinning you to any and all surfaces I can while I make you scream my name until the world knows it. Sound good?”
Eddie let out a squawk-like laugh and pulled Steve closer, “sounds good sunshine, can we start with the choking and pinning tonight?
“Anything for you.” Steve said looking back at him eyes molten before leaning in and capturing his mouth in a mind tingling kiss.

ooh can we see the Luca/Tommy/Alfie snippets you've written please?
I'm usually way too self conscious to post anything that isn't edited (which none of them are) but you know what, have this one to start, as a treat! ❤️ And again please bear in mind that this is just a rough, unedited draft with no beginning or end:
.....
The next morning, Alfie wakes first. During the night Tommy has somehow ended up on the other end of the bed, curled himself into a ball the way he so often does. Alfie resists the urge to pull him back into his arms. He can be considerate when he wants to, right, and Tommy, bless him, probably needs the sleep. Alfie can grant him that, even if he’s put himself in that situation. 
He gets up instead. Rubs his lower back as he ambles over to his wardrobe to get dressed. Already half past nine. Tommy moves a little. Alfie goes to his adjacent bathroom and starts filling the bath. He’s left sitting there staring at the water, yawning because thanks to Tommy there hasn’t been much sleep, has there, the little fiend. Once the bath is full, he returns to the bedroom. Finding Tommy right where he left him, he seats himself on the edge of the bed. Decides which spot to kiss and settles for his temple, right where the delicate cheekbone ends. Runs his fingers through Tommy’s hair.
“Good morning, sweetheart.” 
Tommy scrunches his face up and buries it in the pillow. Lets out a noise. Alfie scratches lightly over the back of his neck. 
“I’m thinking about a certain expression about when one’s made their bed.” 
“ ‘m fine.” 
“Sure you are.” 
Not without a struggle, Tommy sits up, wincing and then making a face. 
“Fuck, I feel disgusting.” 
Alfie at least gives him a sympathetic face because while it was Tommy himself who fell asleep before getting cleaned up, he’s still a gentleman. And he could have, technically, done it for him. If he wasn’t -on top of being a gentleman- a terrible bastard who enjoys the thought of Tommy sleeping with his come drying between his thighs.  
“Well there’s a bath waiting for you,” he says. Cradles the nape of Tommy’s neck and kisses his forehead again. “So why don’t you get yourself clean and comfortable while I make you breakfast?” 
He’s just setting the teapot on the table when Tommy comes downstairs, clad in a terrycloth robe, wrapped tightly around himself. Way too big, of course. 
They sit opposite each other, legs brushing under the table. Alfie reading the paper, Tommy having a smoke and occupied with a book. 
“So, that thing you told me last night,” Alfie says and can’t help the grin. “Have to say, it’s peaked my interest.” When he looks over the edge of the paper at Tommy, Tommy’s got a confused wrinkle between his eyebrows. Then he looks down at his book again. 
“Really.” 
Alfie smirks. “Tell me, sweetheart, have you per chance forgotten about that? Seeing as you were quite drunk.” 
“I wasn’t that drunk,” Tommy scoffs. 
“No? Could’ve fooled me. You were unusually vocal. You know, about certain wishes you might have…” 
 Tommy is trying very hard to appear at ease, he can tell. But his silence tells Alfie well enough that he’s trying to remember. 
“And I figured that perhaps now when Luca is coming, we could fulfil that fantasy of yours.” 
Tommy blinks and looks at him, patches of red climbing up nis neck. Alfie smirks at him. 
“I’d have to talk to him first. Think it over, of course. Because while I’m not one to deny you anything, I do worry that perhaps you’d… bite off more than you can chew, so to speak. We need to make sure you’re safe.” 
Tommy turns his attention back to his book, but his cheeks are flaming red now.  
“It’s not like you to be so shy, sweetheart. Nothing to be bashful about, is it? I’m glad you told me. Why else do I live, but to serve you?” 
“Shut up, Alfie,” Tommy mutters, and Alfie leaves him be. But he’s already making plans. 
As it so happens, Luca calls from his suite at the Savoy. 
“A little bird whispered in my ear that Tommy is staying with you.”
“Which well informed little bird was that, hm?”
Luca chuckles. “Tommy answered my telegram. Told me he’d be in London. I figured the rest out. Is he there now?”
“No, now when you mention it, I’m not entirely sure where he’s run off to.” 
To the docks outside the bakery to oversee a shipment.
“You don’t have any of your men watching him?” 
Three. 
Alfie chuckles. “Mate, have you met Tommy?” 
“You’re just letting him run loose? Anything could happen.”
“Calm down, this is my city, innit. Tommy’s safe.”
“Perhaps as long as he stays on your corner of it.” 
“Please, everything north of the Thames is hardly a fucking corner.”
“Yeah, you keep saying that.” 
Alfie waves a hand in a dismissive gesture even if Luca can’t see him. “We’ll discuss that later. I’m taking Tommy out to dinner tonight. Seven thirty, the Ritz. And if things… happen to go in a certain direction afterwards, perhaps we’ll take the drinks afterwards at my place.” 
Luca hums. 
“And, as it so happens, Tommy shared a little something with me, which you might be interested in hearing.”
“I’m listening.” 
And Alfie tells him. Luca’s interest is peaked to say the least, although he's not without concerns.
“But couldn’t it be… painful?”  
“I suppose.” Alfie leans back in his seat. Strokes his beard. “Well, it’ll be intense, that’s for sure, perhaps a bit more than he’s counted on. But we’d make sure he’s safe. If it’s something you’d be interested in.” 
“Anything for our Tommy.” And Alfie can tell that he’s got that infuriatingly smug half smirk on his face, but he doesn’t really mind.
Tommy is eating soup. Or, barely eating soup. He’s got one of those streaks when nothing seems appetizing, Alfie’s noticed, even if he hasn’t pointed it out. Doesn’t want to sour the mood, not when he’s got a very particular direction in which he hopes this evening will progress. Alfie meanwhile eats a roast leg of lamb, quite aptly made. Tries to tempt Tommy with a bite or two without any success. He’s sat turned slightly towards the room, they’re in a secluded corner of the restaurant, and he’s given Tommy the seat closest to the wall, naturally, as the gentleman he is. And still, Alfie’s the one who catches sight of Luca first as he enters. The waitor nods in direction of their table and Luca moves with his usual suave elegance through the room. Catches Alfie’s eye right away and alright, perhaps he feels a little spark of something when he smiles. Luca makes for a striking sight, that’s just an objective fact and unrelated to any feelings Alfie may or may not have on the matter. 
Tommy notices, of course, quirks an eyebrow but doesn’t turn to look. 
“I’m getting concerned with the quality of this establishment. Apparently they let anyone in these days,” Alfie says when Luca is within earshot, gaining an eyeroll. Tommy’s reaction is the sweetest thing he’s ever seen, for lack of better words. He lights up, eyes glimmering, and when Luca opens his arms in greeting he gets out of his seat and falls into them. Luca wraps him in a tight embrace, holding on for as long as he dares to. Even in this secluded corner, it’s still a public place. Then again they could just be dear old friends reunited after a long absence. 
“I thought you weren’t getting here until tomorrow.”
“Well, I might have wanted to surprise you a little.” 
Luca brushes his hand gently across his cheek. Tommy looks up at him, expression uncharacteristically open, lashes fluttering and cheeks gone a lovely shade of pink. 
“Get a room you two,” Alfie says and hides his smile behind the wineglass. How can he not smile when Tommy looks like that. 
“If you’re not careful, I might,” Luca says. “And I think you in particular be quite disappointed with that development. But I do think that Tommy should finish his dinner.” With a hand lightly on his lower back he leads Tommy back to his seat next to Alfie, pulling his chair out. His hand lingers on the back of his neck for just a moment. 
“Better get you a chair, then,” Alfie says and a quick wave in their waiter’s direction is enough to summon both him and a chair. 
“Can I get you anything, Sir?” 
“A glass of Barolo.” He scans the menu. “And I suppose I could stomach the steak.”  
The waiter removes himself with a polite smile. Luca huffs. 
“God the food options of this country is truly something I have not missed.” 
“Yeah, well we’re happy you’ve decided to grace our shit country with your presence.” Alfie knocks his leg lightly against Luca’s under the table. But then he lets a hand slip down to  gently grip around his knee. Luca smiles faintly. Reaches to take the hand and give it a brief squeeze.

Wait WHAT {Romano X Reader}
~Warning! Use of quite strong language/ cursing ahead! Skip if you don't like it!~
It had been a long day already and you were only halfway through your shift at work. On the way to work, it had started raining and shortly before you managed to make it inside, it started to downpour and was still going. According to the weather channel, it was going to be doing that until hours after your shift. The morning had been a chaotic catastrophe as well; losing items only for them to be in plain sight, burning your hand while making breakfast, constantly tripping over your own feet while in a rush from getting ready a bit later than typical, trouble sleeping that night. It was basically Monday struggles but on a Thursday and seems like things were only going to get worse at your store. After the last customer left, you let out a heavy sigh and leaned your head back. "Hey Lovi? I'm gonna take my break and try not to kill any customers that come in. Thanks!~" Lovino nods, continuing to set out new floral arrangements as you head towards the back of the store.
A handful of customers came and went during your break, thankfully Lovino was able to take care of them himself, despite being fairly new to helping around the floral shop. You still greatly appreciated his help and always made sure to do something for him despite already being paid. Thanks to spending more time with him than usual, you've begun to learn Italian more often, just as long as there were no customers. Just as your break was ending you could hear Lovino yelling for you. 'Lovi almost never asks for assistance... Hopefully, it's not a problematic customer that's causing this.' You thought to yourself as you headed towards the front. While Lovino was doing his best to keep calm and the situation under control, there was another guy yelling specifically for you and getting quite aggressive with Lovino about it. "HEY! THAT'S ENOUGH!" You yelled out, the two instantly falling silent and still as they looked towards you. 
Upon looking at the person causing the ruckus, you realize it was an ex-friend of yours who turned out to be toxic years later after he suddenly stopped talking to you. Shaking your head, you move closer to the pair, lightly pushing Lovino away from the male and stepping between them. "First of all, if you have a problem, you absolutely do not yell at anyone here. Second of all, if you specifically want my attention for something, you can request it in a normal tone. If I am unavailable, you'll have to suck it up and wait. You have no right to yell at my employees, friends, or loved ones like I just witnessed so you better have a good explanation." You spit out, trying to control your temper as you scowl at your ex-friend. He quietly laughs, shaking his head. "Man, who woulda thought you actually run this lil place? Figured I'd at least give you the courtesy  to explain some things about your 'friend', Vlad." You raise an eyebrow at him, extremely skeptical of whatever he could possibly say about them. "I'll at least listen but don't think I won't kick you out if I deem it necessary, I haven't forgotten what you said about and to (bff/n). Lovi, thank you so much for handling him till I got here, feel free to take your break. Don't forget to have some water and some food." Lovino pats your back, a ghost of a smile playing across his lips. "Just happy to help, la mia adorabile principessa. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to call." With that, Lovino went back and started his break, albeit he was definitely worried about what would happen with a guy like that in the shop.
After what seemed like forever of your ex-friend talking terribly about a good friend of yours, knowing Vlad would absolutely never do anything like what's being said, you had enough. This long day and just gotten longer before he started talking and now that he was, you were absolutely ready to skip to the next day. Deciding enough was enough and it seemed like he wasn't done yet, you cut him off. "Stop. I've heard enough from you. I know Vlad well enough that he would never do what you've been describing. So, that being said, unless you are here to buy something or place an order, kindly leave." You tried keeping a professional tone, gritting your teeth the whole time. The last thing you were going to accept was the fact he would try pulling something like this again. "What? No. There's still things you don't know that you deserve to!" He was growing irritated that you weren't not letting him finish or believing him.
That was the final straw for today. You weren't going to let him try the same thing as when you were kids and think there would be no repercussions of the matter. So, you let all the anger bubble over and out, onto him. Everything bottled up from when he first said shit about your best friend, what he later said about you, today's events, and every other negative emotion that's been concealed. "NO! Chiudi quella maledetta trappola, vero pezzo di merda! Smetti di parlare di persone quando non sai assolutamente nulla. O sii una persona decente, o tieni per te le tue stronzate. Now, get your sorry ass out of my goddamn fucking store." You shout, venom laced into each word, each syllable. Your voice had echoed throughout the otherwise vacant shop, leaving your ex-friend stunned in place while Lovino waited near the entrance to the back, just out of sight, with a proud smile on his face. He had finally gotten you to stand up for yourself and at the same time, did amazingly with your Italian. Without another word, your ex-friend scurried out of the store and you swear, you could have seen a tail between his legs in the process.
Groaning loudly as you closed your eyes and leaned against the wall, you quietly mutter to yourself. "Hopefully that's the last of him..." Lovino stepped back into the front, walking over to you still wearing that proud grin as his arms snaked around your waist. "That was quite the show, ragazza. Bravo, sei stato bravissimo. Penso di essermi innamorato di più di te, caro."  Resting your head on his shoulder as you return his hug, smiling gently. "Thank you, it couldn't have been done without your help. You're the best boyfriend ever, ti amo Lovino~." A faint blush crept its way onto Lovino's cheeks as he planted a soft kiss on the top of your head. "Ti amo, la mia adorabile principessa."
~Translations - all done using Google Translate, many apologies if any are incorrect. Please feel free to correct me on any translations!~
la mia adorabile principessa - my adorable princess
Chiudi quella maledetta trappola, vero pezzo di merda! Smetti di parlare di persone quando non sai assolutamente nulla. O sii una persona decente, o tieni per te le tue stronzate. - Shut your fucking trap, you piece of actual shit! Stop talking about people when you know absolutely nothing. Either be a decent fucking person or keep your bullshit to your fucking self.
Ragazza - lass
Bravo, sei stato bravissimo. Penso di essermi innamorato di più di te, caro - Bravo, you did amazing. I think I fell more in love with you, dear
Ti amo - I love you

☆ EDDIE MUNSON'S MASTERLIST ☆
❣ AGATHA'S MAIN PAGE ❣
You woke up in your bedroom
Haunted
Haunted, by the fact that you came back here again, the place you once you called home
Now, the place, upside down, the one that many people say it's a horrific world
It is given that it's indeed scary to live there, you wanted to go back because you felt much more safer there
The duality of being in here, in your palace, where it's normal, you know it in yourself that you will always choose, the unusual place
The upside down
You're are now dreading to go outside with Henry and Jason
"You only lived there for a month, Y/N"
Jason's voice echoes into your mind, he told that to you while removing the bind from your wrist
You don't care
You really don't give a shit that he's talking about
You never felt more secured since your father disappearance when you're with Eddie
In all of your 20 years of life, funny, you've almost forgotten your birthday today
It's just not the same anymore
You loved your home, you really do
But ever since that night, it changed everything
Every corner, every room, every inch of your place is now tarnished and tainted by the creeps that is now roaming all over your home
"Miss?"
A knock from your door, taken you back into the reality
You begrudgingly sighed as you sit up
"You may enter"
"Morning, your grace" your maid arrives with a tray of breakfast
You eat up as you already planning to escape again
You've noticed that your maid hasn't left your chambers yet
You knit your brows together as you watch her hesitant to speak out loud
"Can I say something?"
"Go on"
She looks over at your door before she spoke up, she leans closer as she whispers
"I know- the king, your father has already warned you about people like them but he is right, your excellency"
You chew slowly as you listen
"I don't know, if you'll believe me but I saw Henry, he has the ability to lift things with his hands"
You blinked "I'm sorry? What?"
she struggles to explain as she stutters "I-I think, Henry has powers"
The last words that she told you, it's like only for you to hear as she speaks it so low
You stare at her as you try to rethink all of the interactions that you had with him before
"Don't worry, I believe you, thank you for telling me"
"Your most welcome-"
"Y/N, morning"
as if on cue, speak of the devil, Henry came inside your room unannounced, you covered yourself with blanket, conscious about his actions
"Is she troubling you?"
You and the maid looked at each other as you think for a better valid reason that'll work
"The eggs are a bit runny, I'm just explaining her how to cook it the way that I like"
You gave her the tray as she took it and leaves the room
"Don't you have any manners, Henry?" You cleared your throat
The way he looks at you, you can't really tell if he's being genuine or not
You don't see that when you look at Eddie
"Oh, pardon, my intrusion, princess- I just wanted to see you how you're doing"
You wrap your arms around yourself hoping that he'll take the hint that you're shielding yourself
Your white nightgown is so thin and see-through, you glanced at your vanity, there's your robe draping in the rim of your chair, god- you wished you've worn it, the only decent that's covering you it's your blanket but you can't help but feel naked in front of him
"I'm fine, thank you for asking" you briefly look at him straight in the eyes
"Accept my apologies on the behalf of Jason, I know he's taken you too far from any inconveniences, he can be so arse about his duties but he's a strong soldier and I trust him"
You tried your best not to roll your eyes at his utterance
He's a fucking asshole, alright- that's all he is
You lick your lips as you try to muster up "You have my forgiveness, but Henry, next time, you'll knock before you enter my room" your face expression has that strict look
He nods as he humbled down towards your tone
Your maid came back with your breakfast tray, Henry has still have something more to say but decides against it
"I'll leave you to it" Henry tug up a small smile to you as you nod at him
Why don't you bring the smile back at him?
Once he shuts the door behind him
You fall back onto your bed as you say while you look at the ceiling
"I am conflicted whether he is being honest or not, his aura is so questionable to me"
"Your highness, your food might get cold-"
"To you what can you say about him?" You raise yourself back up to your position before as you ask your maid
"Uh- he's plucky"
You snorted "Right on, I can agree with that"
"How can we passed the guards?" Gareth says as he carries his things
"People can recognize us!" Jeff puts on a scarf over his neck
"So, let's disguise then" Eddie covers himself a cloak with a hood and he gave the others the same thing
"Oh, isn't that just so easy to hide! I know you care for the girl but are you sure this is going to work?" Gareth sarcastically smiles as he reasons with Eddie
"Not that only he cares for her but also he loves her" Jeff shoots a wink at Eddie as he puts on the cloak
"I am going to skin you both alive" Eddie who is annoyed while the two starts snickering and an amused Enzo approaching them
"What's this that I hear? Now, I get it why she pulled that act for you"
"That was nothing- it's just these two are getting on my nerves" Eddie scoffs as he clutches his sword and went out first in the portal
"Oh my fucking great" Gareth frustratedly throw his hand up
"What is it?" Jeff questions him as he watches his friend stressed out
Gareth points to your castle that is literally miles away ahead from them
"Do you think we can still get there alive?" He looks over at Eddie who is squeezing his eyes, restraining every part inside of him not to annihilate- he is still annoyed at the thought that he might have feelings for you
"You gotta have a lot of faith, Gareth" Eddie told him as his friend rolls his eyes at him
"Good thing, there aren't people around to see us" Enzo looks around the woods that leads to town
"Let's get going" Eddie nods as all of them start walking
It's weird to wear your gowns
It's weird to walk around the halls of your home with your heels clicking
It's weird to have someone help you to get ready, you don't want this and you don't need this
You want to get out of here
You want to be with someone who can fix this whole madness
You're headed towards at the library that way you could avoid talking to them
But, the moment you turn on the other side, Henry is there
Shit
Before you could turn your heel around, he spoke your name as you shut your eyes as you sighed, you look back at him
He straightens himself up as he looks at you
From your face and your whole get up
"You look ravishing, Y/N"
You really don't wanna talk to him
"Uh- thank you, I should be going-"
"Please- don't" he took your hand in his as you look down at it and back at him
He saw your untrusting expression that is targeted at him, he quickly rips his hands from you
"I know we get off in the wrong foot, but, can we please- let's just start over?"
You want to believe him
You really do
But, something else is holding you back to get close to him
You cannot read to what he meant behind those eyes
Why do you get the feeling that he is hiding something?
Is he really being truthful to you?
"I-I don't know, Henry"
"But we could start slow- that's fine by me"
You shift in your stance as you finally look at him
His eyes are longing for you?
"How could I know that you're not tricking me?"
"I am not, Y/N, I just wanted you to know that I'm here for you"
"Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Of course" his smile is hopeful and somehow you're still taking precautions to his actions
But, your words are promising to him
That's progress
"Oh- what a fucking picturesque that you're both going on, hmm?" A slurring Jason appeared before you
You rolled your eyes at his drunken state
"Let's not, Jason" Henry narrows his eyes at him as he shielded you away from him
"Did you asked her about the marriage?"
Your soft eyes went aflame as you glare at Henry
"No- it's not what you think, Y/N!" Henry grumbles as he looks at Jason
"Don't you see it? Y/N? He likes you!" Jason chuckles as he tries to balance himself
"Go to fucking hell, Jason" You spat as you leave them both together but before you could do that he blocks your path
"Now- don't you dare walk out of me!" He grabs your wrists as he hold you tightly
"Let me go! Jason!" You grimaced at his alcoholic breath as you tried to take off the grip that he has on you
"Jason- get your hands off with her!" Henry had enough of him as he hold him back off with you
Jason wouldn't let go as Henry fumed at him
He had no choice but to....
A sudden force that made he him move away from you as your eyes widened, knocking off Jason at the wall as he drops to the floor
Your maid earlier told you about this
But, seeing this in action made you feel shocked even you already knew
You're petrified as you blink rapidly as you watch Henry wiped off the blood from his nose with the back of his hand
You take a step backwards but Henry felt you moving away from him
"No- no- no" He moves closer to hold both of your forearms
As you start shaking in fear, you flinched at his cold touch
"Please, don't be afraid"
You tried to speak but you couldn't as you start to sob quietly
"I wouldn't let anyone hurt you, Y/N- I would never hurt you" he starts to cradle your cheek as you watch his movements
"This is what I fear of you, you being scared of me"
You let the ghostly tears fall as he uses his thumb to remove it, you try to gain back your composure
"Henry, please, I need a moment to breathe"
He blinks as he nods at you as he gives you some space
You look at Henry and then back at Jason who is unconscious
This is a lot to take in as you breathe out
"Can I be excused?"
"Yes, you can, Y/N"
You muttered a quiet thank you as you directed yourself towards your chambers
You cupped your mouth as you try to replay of what just happened, Henry watches you go with a look of worry on his eyes
As much as you wanted to handle this on your own
You can't help but to need someone beside you
You want him and you need him
You need Eddie
The four men, rest and build a camp as Eddie always
Always looking at your castle from afar
The journey that they're taking, they're in the middle of it, he's almost there
"You know she won't appear if you look at it more often, right?" Gareth swirls the ladle on the pot that he's cooking soup for dinner
He scoffs as he sits on the rock with arms crossed
"I'm just worried for her, man" Eddie deeply sighs
"Jason is such a dick, I swear" Gareth brings up the interaction that happened before
"But we haven't met Henry yet, we have no idea who he is, maybe he is not awful like him" Jeff suggests
"That young man has taken over her financial services" Enzo recalls as he cleans his weapons
"I take back what I said, they're both assholes" Jeff shakes his head to Enzo's remark
"Here, you have to eat- I know she'll be fine" he hands him a bowl of soup
"I know that she can but I just wished that I was there with her through all of it"
Gareth smiles at him
Eddie is confused at it as he starts to slurp the broth at the edges of the rim of his bowl
He swallows "What?"
"Nothing, I just- you always seem so serious and now it looks like because of her you had the another reason to live"
He tug up a smile as he says "As much you're a pain in the ass, but, yeah she is"
"You both know we could hear to what you're both talking about, right?" Jeff speaks as he pours himself another bowl
Enzo chuckles as he drinks from his cup
"Stop ruining the moment, man!" Gareth yells out to him as all of them shared a laugh
The firepit smoked off as the sunrise shines through out the area
"She's getting married!"
"To whom?"
"Henry!"
"Isn't he like too old for the poor girl?"
Eddie registered the sounds of the townspeople that is too close for him to hear
Good thing, there's a bunch of bushes around their camp
He sits up as he listens at them
"When did you hear it?"
"Just today, I think they're preparing the wedding soon enough"
Eddie buried his face with the palm of his hands as he runs his fingers through his hair
He looked at his companions, who are still asleep as he breathes deeply
Why would he feel disappointed?
He mustn't feel this way since
You're not even his
Maybe, your kindness and sweet demeanor towards him, he misinterpreted it
That's where it dawned on him, it hit him like a ton of bricks, his heart dropped when he finally comes to the realization
He loves you
He feels that he is running out of time, it's like he is trying to reach you but now he can't help but to feel that you're slowly slipping out of his touch
He remembers what you told to Jeff that you're about to married to him, but you didn't want to, you clearly told all of them that you don't want to be a part of it
But, you still don't want it until now? right?
No, he will not let the other people get into him, it mustn't be true
He let them get into his head and his thoughts
He will come and get you
He stood up and wakes Gareth
Gareth groaned as he uses his arms to propped himself up "Wha- What is it?"
"We're losing her, let's go"
Henry is startled by your presence, his face falls when he saw you so upset, watching you very closely with concern as he follows you behind your back
Enraged by the news, you entered the main room as you pushed the doors wide open with anger rushing through your veins
"Jason, I have the bone to pick with you, what was that about?!?"
If doesn't that make you feel mad even more, he is sitting in your father's chair
"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, princess" he acts like he didn't do anything
God- you want to scratch his smug face off
"Oh, I know you're the main reason why everybody talks about it"
"About what?"
"You're the one who fucking spread it!"
Henry who is unaware of it all, he looks at you and to Jason who just shrugs at him
When Jason didn't gave you answers and that adds more to the fuel that you're having right now
You feel so freaking on fire that you could explode, you turn to Henry still having that frown on your face
"Are you on this? Did you have something to do with it?"
"Wha- What?! No- I don't even know what you're implying to"
"Your most trusted fucking dipshit soldier, he told everyone that we agreed on the arrangement which we're clearly not!"
The last lines you shout it out to Jason who is so smugly couldn't careless to what you're dealing with
Henry facepalmed as he says "Jason, what the hell?!?"
You lift your gown as you exit the room, you want to scream
"Is the only way to get her controlled!"
"Controlled?!? Do you have any idea to what you just started?!?
He scoffs "This isn't supposed to be big deal anymore, they already knew all about it and I just confirmed it"
"She is not ready! Let's give her some time"
"There is no time!"
Henry put his fingers on the bridge of his nose, he looked back seeing you aren't being there anymore
That's what he thought
You're hiding behind closed doors, listening to their argument
He exasperatingly sighs as he begins "I cared for her and because of you she can't even trust me completely because I'm with you!" He points at himself
"You thought me being drunk last night- I wouldn't know to what you just did to me? Okay, fine let's see she'll grow on you like you told me before" Jason pushes his chair back and stood up as he walks towards to Henry
"How did she handle it when she finds out that you had powers?"
You tensed as the memory flashes back at you
Henry sighs in defeat as he couldn't fire back at him
He chuckles "See? That's what I thought"
"It- It wouldn't change anything" Henry still believes that you can
He knows that someday you'll believe him
You couldn't bear to hear more of it so you walk away
"It wouldn't be the same once the truth is out"
Henry leaves him as he shuts the doors angrily
"We have to get inside here" Enzo opens the door that leads the way towards the dungeon
"Seriously, man? The dungeon?" Gareth roams his eyes over the prisoner's cells
"It's the only easy way to get inside" Enzo whispers as he ducks his down at the passing royal guards
"He knows what he was doing, let's just get on with it" Eddie told them as they went all in
It's nail-biting to get caught, but they managed to get further more
When the four of them passed the other prisoners
There's someone in particular that caught his attention
He looks more closely as he looked at the elder man who is asleep
Why do he felt that his heart is telling that he knew this man
He heard the clicks of heels that says someone is coming
He hides himself quickly, he looks over that his friends already far left ahead of him
He's about to leave until....
He heard your voice
You mentioned a name
The voice that he missed so much
He wants to hear it all the time
The tendency is very strong to make him self appear right then and there, if you could only see his eyes twinkle
He took a step but someone else is with you
"Y/N, what are you doing here?"
You came for him because you had no one else to lean on
"I was- just checking if anyone is doing their job"
He hummed "That's my job, princess, leave that to me"
Wayne stirred from his sleep as his eyes adjusts at the figure before him
His eyes sparked that he saw you in there, but you can't do anything to talk to him
Because of him, Henry
You glanced at Wayne who is directly looking at you
"Sire, there's a witness that someone came out of the portal"
You placed your hand over your mouth trying to be subtle not to react at the report that the guard just told Henry
Eddie went out? To look for you?
"What?"
Henry take a one last look at you "Duty calls, you sure you'll be fine by yourself here?"
"I will be so glad if you're not snooping around me so much" you think to yourself
"Yes, I'll be good"
Henry nods as he leaves by the door
You sigh as you kneeled down in front of the bars that Wayne's caged in
"Wayne, I'm sorry, I didn't knew that you're here- I wasn't aware that you've been here all along"
You can tell from his eyes, he is like candle that's melting- he's tired
"it's alright, Y/N, you don't have to feel sorry for me"
You turn your back and you saw the key that laying on the table "I have you to get out of here"
You inserted the key but he stopped you to unlock it
"Y/N, I'll survive but you have to leave"
"I can't just leave you here again, no- please there's so many things that I have to tell you!"
"What is it that you're trying to tell me?"
"It's Ed-"
Wayne placed a finger in the middle of his lips as he shushes you
You overheard Jason and one of his guards coming closer
"Where is she?"
"I think she's in the dungeon, sire"
"You let her in there?!? She must've been talking to-" Jason grunts as he quickly picks up his feet to get on to the other room
You hide yourself on the other side, you almost shrieked at the hooded figure next to you, so, you ran away from it- too freaked out at the person that you bumped
You almost saw him
You almost reunited
You almost met the eyes of the person that you're trying to get back to
Eddie could've stopped you but before he can do it, you already scurrying away from him
He followed you to where you went but he couldn't find you
"Eddie! Where have you been?" Gareth pulled him back in the corner to where no one can see them
"it's Y/N- she scurried away because it was dark inside she didn't even realized it was me"
"You saw her?" Jeff gasps as he looked over at the halls for you
Enzo sighs as he rests his back at the wall
"I-I heard him"
"Who?"
"Henry"
"Did you saw his face?"
"Not clearly, but you we're right he wasn't like Jason but Y/N is so wary of him"
"What else?"
"She was talking to someone, someone she called Wayne-"
"Wayne? Wayne is still alive?" Enzo held him by the shoulders, the three young men are astounded to his sudden action
"Yes, he is locked up in there" Eddie uses his thumb directing at the dungeon
"You'll look for Y/N, I'll handle Wayne" Enzo implies as he headed at the dungeon
"Let's go, boys" Eddie nods
You closed the door behind locked it as you catching up with your breath as you pant from running
You eyes land on the documents that are scattered all over your father's desk
You walked forward picked up the papers, you feel sick to your stomach
Jason, he forged a marriage document of you and Henry
Much to your dismay and out of anger, you crumpled the paper that you're holding, you throw the rest of the papers and push everything out of the desk, you screamed harder as you fell down on to knees
You breakdown and cry for the first time, you really don't want to be like this
But, you can't help but to release everything that is killing inside of you
You're too enervated by all of this
You went out of the room, you have to confront him once and for all
"Look!" Jeff points at you as they hide
"It's Y/N!" Gareth whisper-shouts
"She looks-" Jeff frowns at the look of your face
"Distraught" Eddie is disturbed by your state
Wrath and Despair are nestled in your enchanting face as you stomping around as you look for someone
If things aren't like this, he would've worshipped you of how beautiful you look
"Let's follow her" Eddie says as they tailed behind you
"Jason!"
"Hmm?"
"You better explain yourself!" you held up the now crumpled contract in front of him
"What- what the hell did you do to it?" He snatched the paper away from your hands as you scoffed
"What did I do? You should be punished for your crimes, Jason!"
"Why are you so stubborn? I am saving you from your debt!"
"You clearly missing the point here- don't change the fucking subject, I don't want any marriage!"
"You don't have anybody anymore, princess, you have no choice just face it"
"Whatever it is that you're trying to do, I will deny it!"
"Is it because of that boy isn't it?"
Jeff and Gareth looked at Eddie who is fiery watching you ranting with Jason
Don't crack
Don't let him see through you
"He has nothing to do with this-"
"You're so foolish, Y/N"
"No, I am not-" you're seething and you start seeing red as you move closer to him
He wanted to say something to make you even more furious as you didn't let him cut you off this time
"He held my life within his hands, Jason, you don't know anything what you just done to me- he created everything I am"
Eddie's eyes softens at your words, he tilted his head at you
You care for him as much as he cares for you?
You tear the fake marriage contract in front him into pieces as he watches in horror
You leave him at that as he throw words at you and you didn't even care to what he was saying
As you continue to walk, the same hooded man earlier hold you by the arms and pinned your back on the wall as you protest
"Quiet down, it's me"
You calmed as you heard the familiar voice
The man before you, he takes off his hood as his eyes yearns for you
The words caught up in your throat, you feel lighter as a feather as you take him in
Your eyes are rimmed with flooding tears
"Eddie?"

Harry had never believed he would meet a boy he hated more than Dudley, but that was before he met Draco Malfoy. Still, first-year Gryffindors only had Potions with the Slytherins, so they didn't have to put up with Malfoy much. Or at least, they didn't until they spotted a notice pinned up in the Gryffindor common room that made them all groan. Flying lessons would be starting on Thursday -- and Gryffindor and Slytherin would be learning together.
"Typical," said Harry darkly. "Just what I always wanted. To make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy."
He had been looking forward to learning to fly more than anything else.
"You don't know that you'll make a fool of yourself," said Ron reasonably. "Anyway, I know Malfoy's always going on about how good he is at Quidditch, but I bet that's all talk."
Malfoy certainly did talk about flying a lot. He complained loudly about first years never getting on the house Quidditch teams and told long, boastful stories that always seemed to end with him narrowly escaping Muggles in helicopters. He wasn't the only one, though: the way Seamus Finnigan told it, he'd spent most of his childhood zooming around the countryside on his broomstick. Even Ron would tell anyone who'd listen about the time he'd almost hit a hang glider on Charlie's old broom.
Everyone from wizarding families talked about Quidditch constantly. Ron had already had a big argument with Dean Thomas, who shared their dormitory, about soccer. Ron couldn't see what was exciting about a game with only one ball where no one was allowed to fly. Harry had caught Ron prodding Dean's poster of West Ham soccer team, trying to make the players move.
(Y/N) was just as excited about flying lessons. Of course she had ridden a broom many times in her life, acting as chaser when playing backyard Quidditch with Fred, George, and Ron, but she was quite excited to finally receive proper flying lessons.
Neville had never been on a broomstick in his life, because his grandmother had never let him near one. Privately, Harry felt she'd had good reason, because Neville managed to have an extraordinary number of accidents even with both feet on the ground.
Hermione Granger was almost as nervous about flying as Neville was. This was something you couldn't learn by heart out of a book -- not that she hadn't tried. At breakfast on Thursday she bored them all stupid with flying tips she'd gotten out of a library book called Quidditch Through the Ages. Neville was hanging on to her every word, desperate for anything that might help him hang on to his broomstick later, but everybody else was very pleased when Hermione's lecture was interrupted by the arrival of the mail.
Harry hadn't had a single letter since Hagrid's note, something that Malfoy had been quick to notice, of course. Malfoy's eagle owl was always bringing him packages of sweets from home, which he opened gloatingly at the Slytherin table.
A barn owl brought Neville a small package from his grandmother. He opened it excitedly and showed them a glass ball the size of a large marble, which seemed to be full of white smoke.
"It's a Remembrall!" he explained. "Gran knows I forget things -- this tells you if there's something you've forgotten to do. Look, you hold it tight like this and if it turns red -- oh..." His face fell, because the Remembrall had suddenly glowed scarlet, "You've forgotten something..."
Neville was trying to remember what he'd forgotten when Draco Malfoy, who was passing the Gryffindor table, snatched the Remembrall out of his hand.
Harry and Ron jumped to their feet. They were half hoping for a reason to fight Malfoy, but Professor McGonagall, who could spot trouble quicker than any teacher in the school, was there in a flash.
"What's going on?"
"Malfoy's got my Remembrall, Professor."
Scowling, Malfoy quickly dropped the Remembrall back on the table.
"Just looking," he said, and he sloped away with Crabbe and Goyle behind him.
(Y/N) looked at Harry and Ron disapprovingly.
“That was quite stupid of you,” she said as the boys returned to their seats, “You can’t possibly think it’s a good idea to duel Malfoy in the middle of the Great Hall.”
“Malfoy had it coming,” said Ron angrily, “He deserves a good clobbering.”
“I didn’t say he doesn’t deserve it. Next time just make sure no teacher can see,” said (Y/N) with a smirk.
At three-thirty that afternoon, Harry, Ron, (Y/N), and the other Gryffindors hurried down the front steps onto the grounds for their first flying lesson. It was a clear, breezy day, and the grass rippled under their feet as they marched down the sloping lawns toward a smooth, flat lawn on the opposite side of the grounds to the forbidden forest, whose trees were swaying darkly in the distance.
The Slytherins were already there, and so were twenty broomsticks lying in neat lines on the ground. Harry had heard Fred and George Weasley complain about the school brooms, saying that some of them started to vibrate if you flew too high, or always flew slightly to the left.
Their teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived. She had short, gray hair, and yellow eyes like a hawk.
"Well, what are you all waiting for?" she barked. "Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up."
“She’s quite impatient,” said (Y?N) as she stood over her broom.
Harry glanced down at his own broom. It was old and some of the twigs stuck out at odd angles.
"Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch at the front, "and say 'Up!"'
"UP!” everyone shouted.
Harry's broom jumped into his hand at once, but it was one of the few that did. Hermione Granger's had simply rolled over on the ground, and Neville's hadn't moved at all. Perhaps brooms, like horses, could tell when you were afraid, thought Harry; there was a quaver in Neville's voice that said only too clearly that he wanted to keep his feet on the ground.
(Y/N)’s broom also jumped to her hand immediately. She and Harry shared a grin as they watched Malfoy struggle to summon his broom.
Madam Hooch then showed them how to mount their brooms without sliding off the end, and walked up and down the rows correcting their grips. Harry, (Y/N), and Ron were delighted when she told Malfoy he'd been doing it wrong for years.
"Now, when I blow my whistle, you kick off from the ground, hard," said Madam Hooch, "Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly. On my whistle -- three-- two --"
But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch's lips.
"Come back, boy!" she shouted, but Neville was rising straight up like a cork shot out of a bottle -- twelve feet -- twenty feet. Harry saw his scared white face look down at the ground falling away, saw him gasp, slip sideways off the broom and – WHAM -- a thud and a nasty crack and Neville lay facedown on the grass in a heap. His broomstick was still rising higher and higher, and started to drift lazily toward the forbidden forest and out of sight.
Madam Hooch was bending over Neville, her face as white as his.
"Broken wrist," Harry heard her mutter. "Come on, boy -- it's all right, up you get.".
She turned to the rest of the class.
"None of you is to move while I take this boy to the hospital wing! You leave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch.' Come on, dear."
Neville, his face tear-streaked, clutching his wrist, hobbled off with Madam Hooch, who had her arm around him.
No sooner were they out of earshot than Malfoy burst into laughter.
"Did you see his face, the great lump?"
The other Slytherins joined in.
"Shut up, Malfoy," snapped Parvati Patil.
"Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom?" said Pansy Parkinson, a hard-faced Slytherin girl. "Never thought you'd like fat little crybabies, Parvati."
“You’re one to talk,” said (Y/N) “No one like girls who look like an overgrown pug and a troll has a baby.”
"Look!" said Malfoy, darting forward and snatching something out of the grass. "It's that stupid thing Longbottom's gran sent him."
The Remembrall glittered in the sun as he held it up.
"Give that here, Malfoy," said Harry quietly. Everyone stopped talking to watch.
Malfoy smiled nastily.
"I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find -- how about – up a tree?"
"Give it here!" Harry yelled, but Malfoy had leapt onto his broomstick and taken off. He hadn't been lying, he could fly well. Hovering level with the topmost branches of an oak he called, "Come and get it, Potter!"
Harry grabbed his broom.
"No!" shouted Hermione Granger. "Madam Hooch told us not to move – you'll get us all into trouble."
Harry ignored her. Blood was pounding in his ears. He mounted the broom and kicked hard against the ground and up, up he soared; air rushed through his hair, and his robes whipped out behind him -and in a rush of fierce joy he realized he'd found something he could do without being taught -- this was easy, this was wonderful. He pulled his broomstick up a little to take it even higher, and heard screams and gasps of girls back on the ground and admiring whoops from Ron and (Y/N).
He turned his broomstick sharply to face Malfoy in midair. Malfoy looked stunned.
"Give it here," Harry called, "or I'll knock you off that broom!" "Oh, yeah?" said Malfoy, trying to sneer, but looking worried.
Harry knew, somehow, what to do. He leaned forward and grasped the broom tightly in both hands, and it shot toward Malfay like a javelin. Malfoy only just got out of the way in time; Harry made a sharp about-face and held the broom steady. A few people below were clapping.
"No Crabbe and Goyle up here to save your neck, Malfoy," Harry called.
The same thought seemed to have struck Malfoy.
"Catch it if you can, then!" he shouted, and he threw the glass ball high into the air and streaked back toward the ground.
Harry saw, as though in slow motion, the ball rise up in the air and then start to fall. He leaned forward and pointed his broom handle down -- next second he was gathering speed in a steep dive, racing the ball -- wind whistled in his ears, mingled with the screams of people watching -- he stretched out his hand -- a foot from the ground he caught it, just in time to pull his broom straight, and he toppled gently onto the grass with the Remembrall clutched safely in his fist.
"HARRY POTTER!"
His heart sank faster than he'd just dived. Professor McGonagall was running toward them. He got to his feet, trembling.
"Never -- in all my time at Hogwarts --"
Professor McGonagall was almost speechless with shock, and her glasses flashed furiously, "-- how dare you -- might have broken your neck --"
"It wasn't his fault, Professor --"
"Be quiet, Miss Barnet.”
"But Malfoy --"
"That's enough, Mr. Weasley. Potter, follow me, now."
Harry caught sight of Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle's triumphant faces as he left, walking numbly in Professor McGonagall's wake as she strode toward the castle. He was going to be expelled, he just knew it. He wanted to say something to defend himself, but there seemed to be something wrong with his voice. Professor McGonagall was sweeping along without even looking at him; he had to jog to keep up. Now he'd done it. He hadn't even lasted two weeks. He'd be packing his bags in ten minutes. What would the Dursleys say when he turned up on the doorstep?
Up the front steps, up the marble staircase inside, and still Professor McGonagall didn't say a word to him. She wrenched open doors and marched along corridors with Harry trotting miserably behind her. Maybe she was taking him to Dumbledore. He thought of Hagrid, expelled but allowed to stay on as gamekeeper. Perhaps he could be Hagrid's assistant. His stomach twisted as he imagined it, watching Ron, (Y/N), and the others becoming wizards, while he stumped around the grounds carrying Hagrid's bag.
Professor McGonagall stopped outside a classroom. She opened the door and poked her head inside.
"Excuse me, Professor Flitwick, could I borrow Wood for a moment?"
Wood? thought Harry, bewildered; was Wood a cane she was going to use on him?
But Wood turned out to be a person, a burly fifth-year boy who came out of Flitwick's class looking confused.
"Follow me, you two," said Professor McGonagall, and they marched on up the corridor, Wood looking curiously at Harry.
"In here."
Professor McGonagall pointed them into a classroom that was empty except for Peeves, who was busy writing rude words on the blackboard.
"Out, Peeves!" she barked. Peeves threw the chalk into a bin, which clanged loudly, and he swooped out cursing. Professor McGonagall slammed the door behind him and turned to face the two boys.
"Potter, this is Oliver Wood. Wood -- I've found you a Seeker."
Wood's expression changed from puzzlement to delight.
"Are you serious, Professor?"
"Absolutely," said Professor McGonagall crisply. "The boy's a natural. I've never seen anything like it. Was that your first time on a broomstick, Potter?"
Harry nodded silently. He didn't have a clue what was going on, but he didn't seem to be being expelled, and some of the feeling started coming back to his legs.
"He caught that thing in his hand after a fifty-foot dive," Professor
McGonagall told Wood. "Didn't even scratch himself. Charlie Weasley couldn't have done it."
Wood was now looking as though all his dreams had come true at once.
"Ever seen a game of Quidditch, Potter?" he asked excitedly.
"Wood's captain of the Gryffindor team," Professor McGonagall explained.
"He's just the build for a Seeker, too," said Wood, now walking around Harry and staring at him. "Light -- speedy -- we'll have to get him a decent broom, Professor -- a Nimbus Two Thousand or a Cleansweep Seven, I'd say."
I shall speak to Professor Dumbledore and see if we can't bend the first-year rule. Heaven knows, we need a better team than last year. Flattened in that last match by Slytherin, I couldn't look Severus Snape in the face for weeks...."
Professor McGonagall peered sternly over her glasses at Harry.
"I want to hear you're training hard, Potter, or I may change my mind about punishing you."
Then she suddenly smiled.
"Your father would have been proud," she said. "He was an excellent Quidditch player himself."
"You're joking."
It was dinnertime. Harry had just finished telling Ron and (Y/N) what had happened when he'd left the grounds with Professor McGonagall. Ron had a piece of steak and kidney pie halfway to his mouth, but he'd forgotten all about it.
"Seeker?" he said. "But first years never -- you must be the youngest house player in about…”
“A century,” said Harry, shoveling pie into his mouth. He felt particularly hungry after the excitement of the afternoon. "Wood told me."
Ron was so amazed, so impressed, he just sat and gaped at Harry.
“That’s amazing Harry,” said (Y/N), “Perhaps I should have joined you during flying lessons. I’d love to be on the Quidditch team.”
"I start training next week," said Harry. "Only don't tell anyone, Wood wants to keep it a secret."
Fred and George Weasley now came into the hall, spotted Harry, and hurried over.
"Well done," said George in a low voice. "Wood told us. We're on the team too -- Beaters."
"I tell you, we're going to win that Quidditch cup for sure this year," said Fred. "We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year's team is going to be brilliant. You must be good, Harry, Wood was almost skipping when he told us."
"Anyway, we've got to go, Lee Jordan reckons he's found a new secret passageway out of the school."
"Bet it's that one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy that we found in our first week. See you."
Fred and George had hardly disappeared when someone far less welcome turned up: Malfoy, flanked by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Having a last meal, Potter? When are you getting the train back to the Muggles?"
"You're a lot braver now that you're back on the ground and you've got your little friends with you," said Harry coolly. There was of course nothing at all little about Crabbe and Goyle, but as the High Table was full of teachers, neither of them could do more than crack their knuckles and scowl.
"I'd take you on anytime on my own," said Malfoy. "Tonight, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only -- no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?"
"Of course he has," said Ron, wheeling around. "I'm his second, who's yours?"
Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle, sizing them up.
"Crabbe," he said. "Midnight all right? We'll meet you in the trophy room; that's always unlocked."
When Malfoy had gone, Ron and Harry looked at each other. 
"What is awizard's duel?" said Harry. "And what do you mean, you're my second?"
"Well, a second's there to take over if you die," said Ron casually, getting started at last on his cold pie. 
"What is wrong with you?” (Y/N) said, hitting Ron on the shoulder, “People only die in proper duels, Harry. You know, with real wizards. The most you and Malfoy'll be able to do is send sparks at each other. Neither of you knows enough magic to do any real damage. I bet he expected you to refuse, anyway."
"And what if I wave my wand and nothing happens?"
"Throw it away and punch him on the nose," Ron suggested. 
"Excuse me."
They all looked up. It was Hermione Granger.
"Can't a person eat in peace in this place?" said Ron.
Hermione ignored him and spoke to Harry.
"I couldn't help overhearing what you and Malfoy were saying --"
"Bet you could," Ron muttered, earning another hit from (Y/N).
"--and you mustn't go wandering around the school at night, think of the points you'll lose Gryffindor if you're caught, and you're bound to be. It's really very selfish of you."
"And it's really none of your business," said Harry.
"Good-bye," said Ron.
“There’s no need for you two to be so rude,” said (Y/N), “Besides, she’s not wrong. If we get caught, imagine what McGonagall will do to us. I don’t think she’ll be so lenient a second time.”
“Relax, will you?” said Ron, “The whole point of sneaking out is that we don’t get caught.”
“It’s just like you said,” Harry said, “We just won’t get caught by the teachers.”
(Y/N) still looked uneasy.
All the same, it wasn't what you'd call the perfect end to the day, Harry thought, as he lay awake much later listening to Dean and Seamus falling asleep (Neville wasn't back from the hospital wing). Ron had spent all evening giving him advice such as "If he tries to curse you, you'd better dodge it, because I can't remember how to block them."
There was a very good chance they were going to get caught by Filch or Mrs. Norris, and Harry felt he was pushing his luck, breaking another school rule today. On the other hand, Malfoys sneering face kept looming up out of the darkness - this was his big chance to beat Malfoy face-to-face. He couldn't miss it.
"Half-past eleven," Ron muttered at last, "we'd better go."
They pulled on their bathrobes, picked up their wands, and crept across the tower room, down the spiral staircase, and into the Gryffindor common room. A few embers were still glowing in the fireplace, turning all the armchairs into hunched black shadows. They had almost reached the portrait hole when a voice spoke from the chair nearest them, "I can't believe you're going to do this, Harry."
A lamp flickered on. It was Hermione Granger, wearing a pink bathrobe and a frown. Beside her, was (Y/N), looking quite apologetic. 
"You!" said Ron furiously. "Go back to bed!"
"I almost told your brother," Hermione snapped, "Percy -- he's a prefect, he'd put a stop to this."
Harry couldn't believe anyone could be so interfering.
“I’m sorry,” said (Y/N), “She must have heard me sneaking out of bed?”
“You’re coming with us?” asked Harry
“Someone has to make sure you two idiots don’t get caught.
Harry and Ron smiled appreciatively.
"Come on," Harry said to Ron and (Y/N). He pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady and climbed through the hole.
Hermione wasn't going to give up that easily. She followed Ron through the portrait hole, hissing at them like an angry goose.
"Don't you care about Gryffindor, do you only care about yourselves, I don't want Slytherin to win the house cup, and you'll lose all the points I got from Professor McGonagall for knowing about Switching Spells."
"Go away." 
"All right, but I warned you, you just remember what I said when you're on the train home tomorrow, you're so --"
But what they were, they didn't find out. Hermione had turned to the portrait of the Fat Lady to get back inside and found herself facing an empty painting. The Fat Lady had gone on a nighttime visit and Hermione was locked out of Gryffindor tower.
"Now what am I going to do?" she asked shrilly.
"That's your problem," said Ron. "We've got to go. We’re going to be late."
They hadn't even reached the end of the corridor when Hermione caught up with them.
"I'm coming with you," she said.
"You are not."
"D'you think I'm going to stand out here and wait for Filch to catch me? If he finds all four of us I'll tell him the truth, that I was trying
to stop you, and you can back me up."
"You've got some nerve --" said Ron loudly.
"Shut up, both of you!" said Harry sharply. I heard something."
It was a sort of snuffling.
"Mrs. Norris?" breathed Ron, squinting through the dark.
It wasn't Mrs. Norris. It was Neville. He was curled up on the floor, fast asleep, but jerked suddenly awake as they crept nearer.
"Thank goodness you found me! I've been out here for hours, I couldn't remember the new password to get in to bed."
"Keep your voice down, Neville,” said (Y/N) urgently, “The password's 'Pig snout' but it won't help you now, the Fat Lady's gone off somewhere."
"How's your arm?" said Harry.
"Fine," said Neville, showing them. "Madam Pomfrey mended it in about a minute."
"Good - well, look, Neville, we've got to be somewhere, we'll see you later --"
"Don't leave me!" said Neville, scrambling to his feet, "I don't want to stay here alone, the Bloody Baron's been past twice already."
Ron looked at his watch and then glared furiously at Hermione and Neville.
"If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learned that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about, and used it on you.”
Hermione opened her mouth, perhaps to tell Ron exactly how to use the Curse of the Bogies, but Harry hissed at her to be quiet and beckoned them all forward.
They flitted along corridors striped with bars of moonlight from the high windows. At every turn Harry expected to run into Filch or Mrs. Norris, but they were lucky. They sped up a staircase to the third floor and tiptoed toward the trophy room.
Malfoy and Crabbe weren't there yet. The crystal trophy cases glimmered where the moonlight caught them. Cups, shields, plates, and statues winked silver and gold in the darkness. They edged along the walls, keeping their eyes on the doors at either end of the room. Harry took out his wand in case Malfoy leapt in and started at once. The minutes crept by.
"He's late, maybe he's chickened out," Ron whispered.
“Or, more likely,” said (Y/N) bitterly, “He’s set us up.”
Then a noise in the next room made them jump. Harry had only just raised his wand when they heard someone speak -and it wasn't Malfoy.
"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner."
It was Filch speaking to Mrs. Norris. Horror-struck, Harry waved madly at the other four to follow him as quickly as possible; they scurried silently toward the door, away from Filch's voice. Neville's robes had barely whipped round the corner when they heard Filch enter the trophy room.
"They're in here somewhere," they heard him mutter, "Probably hiding."
"This way!" Harry mouthed to the others and, petrified, they began to creep down a long gallery full of suits of armor. They could hear Filch getting nearer. Neville suddenly let out a frightened squeak and broke
into a run – he tripped, grabbed Ron around the waist, and the pair of them toppled right into a suit of armor.
The clanging and crashing were enough to wake the whole castle.
"RUN!" Harry yelled, and the five of them sprinted down the gallery, not looking back to see whether Filch was following -- they swung around the doorpost and galloped down one corridor then another, Harry in the lead, without any idea where they were or where they were going -- they ripped through a tapestry and found themselves in a hidden passageway, hurtled along it and came out near their Charms classroom, which they knew was miles from the trophy room.
"I think we've lost him," Harry panted, leaning against the cold wall and wiping his forehead. Neville was bent double, wheezing and spluttering.
I -- told -you," Hermione gasped, clutching at the stitch in her chest, "I -- told -- you."
"We've got to get back to Gryffindor tower," said Ron, "quickly as possible."
"Malfoy tricked you," Hermione said to Harry. "You realize that, don't you? He was never going to meet you – Filch knew someone was going to be in the trophy room, Malfoy must have tipped him off."
Harry thought she was probably right, but he wasn't going to tell her that.
"Let's go."
It wasn't going to be that simple. They hadn't gone more than a dozen paces when a doorknob rattled and something came shooting out of a classroom in front of them.
It was Peeves. He caught sight of them and gave a squeal of delight.
"Shut up, Peeves -- please -- you'll get us thrown out." 
Peeves cackled.
"Wandering around at midnight, Ickle Firsties? Tut, tut, tut. Naughty,naughty, you'll get caughty."
"Not if you don't give us away, Peeves, please."
"Should tell Filch, I should," said Peeves in a saintly voice, but his eyes glittered wickedly. "It's for your own good, you know."
"Get out of the way," snapped Ron, taking a swipe at Peeves this was a big mistake.
"STUDENTS OUT OF BED!" Peeves bellowed, "STUDENTS OUT OF BED DOWN THE CHARMS CORRIDOR"
Ducking under Peeves, they ran for their lives, right to the end of the corridor where they slammed into a door -- and it was locked.
"This is it!" Ron moaned, as they pushed helplessly at the door, "We're done for! This is the end!" They could hear footsteps, Filch running as fast as he could toward Peeves's shouts.
"Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wand, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"
The lock clicked and the door swung open -- they piled through it, shut it quickly, and pressed their ears against it, listening.
“Nice one, Hermione,” (Y/N) said quietly.
"Which way did they go, Peeves?" Filch was saying. "Quick, tell me."
"Say 'please."'
"Don't mess with me, Peeves, now where did they go?"
"Shan't say nothing if you don't say please," said Peeves in his annoying singsong voice.
"All right -please."
"NOTHING! Ha haaa! Told you I wouldn't say nothing if you didn't say please! Ha ha! Haaaaaa!" And they heard the sound of Peeves whooshing away and Filch cursing in rage.
"He thinks this door is locked," Harry whispered. "I think we'll be okay -- get off, Neville!" For Neville had been tugging on the sleeve of Harry's bathrobe for the last minute. "What?"
Harry turned around -- and saw, quite clearly, what. For a moment, he was sure he'd walked into a nightmare -- this was too much, on top of everything that had happened so far.
They weren't in a room, as he had supposed. They were in a corridor. The forbidden corridor on the third floor. And now they knew why it was forbidden.
They were looking straight into the eyes of a monstrous dog, a dog that filled the whole space between ceiling and floor. It had three heads. Three pairs of rolling, mad eyes; three noses, twitching and quivering in their direction; three drooling mouths, saliva hanging in slippery ropes from yellowish fangs.
It was standing quite still, all six eyes staring at them, and Harry knew that the only reason they weren't already dead was that their sudden appearance had taken it by surprise, but it was quickly getting over that, there was no mistaking what those thunderous growls meant.
Harry groped for the doorknob -- between Filch and death, he'd take Filch.
They fell backward -- Harry slammed the door shut, and they ran, they almost flew, back down the corridor. Filch must have hurried off to look for them somewhere else, because they didn't see him anywhere, but they hardly cared -- all they wanted to do was put as much space as possible between them and that monster. They didn't stop running until they reached the portrait of the Fat Lady on the seventh floor.
"Where on earth have you all been?" she asked, looking at their bathrobes hanging off their shoulders and their flushed, sweaty faces.
"Never mind that -- pig snout, pig snout," panted Harry, and the portrait swung forward. They scrambled into the common room and collapsed, trembling, into armchairs.
It was a while before any of them said anything. Neville, indeed, looked as if he'd never speak again.
"What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?" said Ron finally. "If any dog needs exercise, that one does."
Hermione had got both her breath and her bad temper back again. "You don't use your eyes, any of you, do you?" she snapped. "Didn't you see what it was standing on?”
"The floor?" Harry suggested. "I wasn't looking at its feet, I was too busy with its heads."
"No, not the floor. It was standing on a trapdoor. It's obviously guarding something." She stood up, glaring at them.
I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed."
Ron stared after her, his mouth open.
"No, we don't mind," he said. "You'd think we dragged her along, wouldn't you?”
But Hermione had given Harry something else to think about as he climbed back into bed. The dog was guarding something.... What had Hagrid said?
Gringotts was the safest place in the world for something you wanted to hide -- except perhaps Hogwarts.
It looked as though Harry had found out where the grubby little package from vault seven hundred and thirteen was.

WIP: Colin in NYC
Sam’s face filled the screen of Colin’s phone. ‘Sam, are you busy?’
‘I’ve got some time.’
‘I have a date tomorrow.’
Sam’s head tilted to the side with a bemused frown creasing his normally cheerful face. ‘Didn't you just land in New York yesterday?’
‘Yeah. So?’
‘That seems fast.’
'Jamie or Dani would have met someone the second they got off the plane and slept with them,' Colin argued.
Sam nodded. 'That is true.'
‘I went for a coffee. He works at the cafe, and wrote his number on my cup. He's gorgeous and way out of my league…’ Colin froze. He'd completely forgotten to switch the pronouns, as was his usual habit. But Sam was so disarming, even when he wasn't trying, that Colin wasn't so sure that admitting his date was with another man had been an accident. And it did feel like something that weighed on his shoulders fell away. He plopped on the foot of his bed and met Sam's gaze. Sam hadn’t recoiled in horror or disgust, but instead offered an encouraging nod. 'I'm gay.'
Sam's already cheerful smile shifted into something as soft and warm as a sunbeam on a spring afternoon. 'Thank you for sharing that with me.'
Colin released a breath he didn’t realize he held. 'Can you keep it quiet for now?'
'Of course. It's not mine to tell. You'll share it with other people when you're ready.' His posture shifted into something more businesslike. ‘So. You have a date tomorrow?’
Colin nodded with a sheepish grin. ‘And I don’t know what to wear.’
Sam’s brows rose in surprise. Colin maybe be in over his head with his car, but never when it came to his clothes. He had a tendency to dress in an understated style with a discreet flourish or two. ‘It’s not some sort of weird party, is it? Where you dress up in costumes?'
‘It's breakfast.'
Sam’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline. Breakfast with Rebecca had often implied a lot more than eating Wheetabix while perched on her kitchen island in his boxers. 'Is it just breakfast, or is it… breakfast?'
'What's the difference?'
'Well, one is where you go somewhere and order eggs and toast. The other is when you make toast naked in their kitchen.'
Colin shook his head, more than a little dazed by that revelation. Sam appeared to have a much richer life off the pitch than he could possibly imagine. Still, for all of Sam's angelic innocence, he wasn't the one wandering in the weeds here. 'It's just breakfast.'
'Let me see what you've brought.'
Colin switched to the front-view camera, and panned it slowly over the clothes in the closet. 'Is casual all right?'
'I think you'll be fine. The grey shorts, the blue shirt — the short-sleeved one — and the black trainers.'
Colin plucked each item from the closet as Sam listed it. 'Are you sure about the trainers?' Wasn't that too casual?
'The trainers will be fine.' Sam propped the phone against his water glass. 'Now. Tell me everything.’
‘There isn’t anything to tell,’ Colin countered.
‘I’m not seeing anyone, so I’m going to live vicariously through you. Details.’
‘I literally ran into him outside the cafe. He’s a ginger. Blue eyes. About as tall as you.’ Colin fell back across the bed. 'And so bloody smart, I'm going to sound like an eejit next to him.'
'You've barely met. How can you know that?'
'He was carrying an armload of books.'
'So?'
'Like math and science that I've never heard of.' Colin slumped, already feeling defeated. 'I should just cancel it.' Better to cancel now than to arrive at the diner and spend five minutes with Josh before he realized what a total plonker he was and faked an emergency.
'You aren't stupid, Colin,' Sam said patiently. 'Not to say you haven't made a few stupid decisions, but you won't know if the two of you have anything to talk about unless you try, no?'
'I suppose.'
Sam glanced up at the top of his phone. 'I've got to go. Colin, it's going to be fine. What is it that Ted says? Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination?'
'Yeah.'
‘Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?’
‘The date goes horribly and we agree to never see each other again?’
'Exactly. Not the end of the world.’
Sam seemed to want to say something more, but Colin could tell he held himself back. He knew that face. ‘Lay it on me.’
Sam leaned closer to his phone. Not for the first time he wondered if half of Colin’s decisions were made with what he thought he should be, any not who he was. ‘Just be yourself. Not what how you think a footballer should be. And have fun.'
'Right… Fun.'
'Bye, Colin.'
Colin waved a farewell, then flopped back across his bed.

series masterlist
—--------------------------
A few weeks had passed since your accident and the night when you remembered just what had happened. Since then, Aaron had been sleeping with you in the master bedroom each and every night, holding you close in case you had another memory that you remembered that could have proved to have been too much for you to handle on your own.
And as much as you wanted to remember more, you only remembered bits and pieces here and there. You remembered that Aaron liked blueberry waffles for breakfast, that the two of you always held an annual gingerbread house making contest during the holidays, and that you both wanted to go to Paris for your honeymoon when that time came.
It hurt you that you couldn't remember much else but Aaron kept telling you it was a start. And every night before you would go to bed, he'd show you the same photo albums that you had seen each night before drifting off to sleep in hopes that you would remember something, anything else.
"And this is your brother, Sean, right?" you asked as you pointed to the picture in the photo album on your lap. You and Aaron had been snuggled together in bed for a while, going through the now familiar pages of the photo albums.
"Yeah, that's him." Aaron scooted closer to you in the bed, running his fingers through your scalp, as he placed his free arm around your stomach. He pressed a small kiss to your temple as he flipped to the next page in the photo album. "He's in New York. Head chef at some fancy restaurant last I knew."
"When was the last time you talked to him?" You looked at the pictures on the page, seeing a younger Aaron and Sean tossing a football back and forth and even a picture with Aaron holding Sean in a headlock on the beach which made you chuckle to yourself.
Aaron shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head. "A few years maybe. I don't know. He drifted. I tried to be there for him when he needed me but then we just started to lead two totally separate lives. I couldn't always be the one to bail him out of trouble all the time. I had other things to focus on rather than him," he sighed. "Like my job. You. Us. I couldn't keep worrying about what shit my idiot brother got himself into."
You turned to look at Aaron and pressed a gentle kiss onto his lips. "I'm sure you did everything you could to be there for him. People drift apart, it happens." You caressed his cheek gently, running your thumb along his jawline.
He nodded his head, pulling you closer to him. "I know." He grabbed the photo album out of your hands and closed it, turning to place it on the nightstand next to the bed in the master bedroom.
"Let's get some rest, baby. I don't want to overwhelm you with all of this stuff and I need to get some rest to get ready for the transplant that I have tomorrow afternoon." He turned off the light that rested upon the nightstand. "You've already remembered a few things here and there which I am so happy about."
"But I want to remember more," you argued as he adjusted himself to spoon you from behind, your legs becoming intertwined with his. You were quick to realize that this was his favorite way to hold you since he had weaseled his way into that position every night since you had remembered the accident.
"You will," he murmured as he pressed a kiss to the back of your neck. "You will, baby." You grabbed onto his hand, interlacing your fingers as he continued. "Don't forget in the morning I want you to come by the hospital for more tests and a checkup."
You gave his hand a small squeeze and yawned. "Okay, Dr. Hotchner."
"Okay," he whispered, placing another kiss underneath your earlobe this time before settling in to sleep.
———————-
"Alright deep breaths," Aaron instructed as he took the stethoscope off from around his neck, placing it in his ears to be able to hear your breathing. He brought his hands to your chest, sliding the stethoscope partially underneath your shirt. The cold metal of the chest piece caused you to gasp as he placed it against you.
You felt the goosebumps raise on your arms from the cold and you let out a small laugh from the contact. "Wasn't expecting it to be that cold," you told Aaron.
"Mhm. They never do," Aaron teased as he brought the stethoscope to the other side of your chest, listening intently. "Breathe in again for me."
You followed his instructions, taking a deep breath. You swung your legs a little bit in anticipation, staring off into space as you looked around the hospital room that Aaron was examining you in. It was bleak, full of medical supplies, and smelled like lemons.
Aaron placed his hand on your thigh and ran his thumb along it. "This would be a lot easier for me if you could just sit still," he murmured.
"Oh, sorry. I just didn't know what else to– Sorry." You cut yourself off abruptly, causing Aaron to pick up his head and look at you with a puzzled look. You cleared your throat, feeling your cheeks blush. How were you supposed to tell him that it was because of the way he was touching you, how he was so close to you that you couldn't think straight? You sure as hell couldn't say that in his place of work so you just figured it would be best to keep your mouth shut.
Aaron took the stethoscope away from you and wrapped it back around his neck. He made some notes in your chart before flipping through them for what felt like the millionth time.
"Everything sounds good. I put a rush on the results of today's CT scan. I will probably be able to read them by the end of my shift." Aaron put your chart down and stepped between your legs where you sat on the examining table and he cupped your cheek, tilting your head up to him.
"I want you to go home and rest still, okay?" He pecked your lips gently and you sighed into the kiss.
"I feel fine, Aaron," you emphasized. "Besides the whole 'I can't remember things worth a shit from the past few years,' I feel fine. Nothing hurts. The bruises are all gone now. I'm alright."
"Please just do this. For me?" he pleaded, sticking his lip out into a pout because he knew you couldn't resist.
You rolled your eyes, wrapping your arms around his neck as he slid his hands down your sides, resting his hands on your hips. "If it'll make you feel better, fine," you agreed begrudgingly.
"Thank you." Aaron leaned down, capturing your lips, kissing you so passionately you thought that he was going to steal all of the air from your lungs.
"Well hot damn! Gracie! Get that doctor to give me my treatment," an elderly woman hollered as she was wheeled past your room.
Aaron pulled back from you so abruptly, his face bright red. You placed your hand over your mouth, stifling your laughter. Aaron raised his brow at you, sticking his tongue into the side of his mouth and raising his brows. He turned towards the door, crossing his arms over his chest. "Mrs. Shapiro, I am your doctor," he said sternly.
"Dr. Hotchner!" The elderly woman, Mrs. Shapiro, called out. "What kind of injury do I have to get to have that kind of treatment?"
"Mom!" the young woman who was pushing Mrs. Shapiro called out, gently nudging her mother in the shoulder.
"I'm just asking. Maybe I'd have a quicker recovery if that was a part of the rehabilitation process," Mrs. Shapiro teased.
"Mrs. Shapiro, this is my fiancé, Y/N," Aaron continued, trying to deflect the elderly woman's comments,
"Fiancé?" she asked. "Honey, she's gorgeous. Don't let her go, son."
Aaron reached out and grabbed your hand, giving it a squeeze as he turned to look at you. You saw the hints of his dimple on his cheek as he smiled at you. "Not planning on it."
"Alright Dr. Hotchner. I'll leave you two to it. I'll see you later tonight?" Mrs Shapiro asked, adjusting her shawl over her frail shoulders.
"Of course. 7pm for Jeopardy," Aaron confirmed. "Don't watch the episode in advance this time now, alright?" Aaron pointed his finger at the woman, waving it around jokingly.
"No promises, honey." Mrs. Shapiro waved goodbye and her and her daughter left the hallway of your room.
You raised a brow at Aaron and felt the laughs that you were holding inside come spilling out. "Aaron, that woman is great. She has got some sense of humor," you laughed.
"Yeah she's great," Aaron said solemnly as he glanced at the door again.
"What's wrong?" You reached forward and ran your hand down his arm, trying to calm him down.
"I've been her doctor for the past 5 years. I've seen her health deteriorate right before my eyes." He turned to look at you, his eyes slightly glassy. "She's got cancer. I don't know how much longer she has. That's why I try to go to her room as often as I can." He took a deep breath before continuing to explain the story of Mrs. Shapiro to you.
"Watching Jeopardy was something that she did with her husband when he was here. A few times when I would go into the room and answer the questions along with them while I was checking their vitals or whatever else I had to check."
"Aaron," you said softly, trying to console him.
"Her husband passed away a few months ago from natural causes. So now, I go and watch Jeopardy with her when I can, especially when Gracie isn't there."
You rubbed his arm again, letting out a small sigh. "Aaron, this is part of the job. People come and go. She seems like a great woman. The best thing you can do for her is just make her feel comfortable for whatever time she has left."
Aaron nodded his head, looking down to the floor. "Yeah. I know. This is why I try not to get too personal with patients but it just...happens, you know?"
"I wish I could say it gets easier but I think, if anything, you'll be able to accept it more in time."
Aaron hummed in agreement before exhaling deeping. He looked back up at you and nodded. "You're right." He stood back in between your legs, placing his hands next you  on the examining table, practically caging you in with his body. "Alright well, as much as I'd love for you to stay here," he said as he pressed a series of wet kisses on your neck, "I'm planning on taking a quick nap before the liver transplant that I have scheduled this afternoon."
Your breath hitched in your throat from his actions, causing you to want nothing more than to be with him more intimately. You had wanted that more and more recently, but Aaron wasn't forcing you to move that quickly. He was just happy to be kissing, touching, and holding you again.
Aaron nipped at the skin along the curve of your neck briefly before pulling away from you. He moved his face in front of yours, pressing a long kiss to your lips. "I'll see you later?"
"Of course," you assured, trying not to let him see how hot and bothered you were becoming because of his little nips and kisses. "I'm going to a few stores before I head home. Grocery shopping, maybe some clothes shopping. I'll let you know when I'm home."
"Alright. Let me know," Aaron said softly, holding his hand out to help you hop off of the examining table.
"Good luck with the transplant later." You stood on your tiptoes, kissing his cheek. "I know you'll do just fine."
"Thank you, sweet girl."
You would have been lying to yourself if hearing him say that name didn't make you even more turned on than you had been before.
You cleared your throat quickly, starting to back your way towards the door. "Get some rest, alright?"
"I should be the one telling you that," he laughed, gathering his clipboards from around the room.
"Someone has to look after you too, you know?" you said with a smile.
Aaron's cheeks blushed lightly as his lips curled up into the faintest of smiles. "Yeah, I guess so."
"I'll see you later."
"Let me know when you're home."
"Of course."
—-------------
After leaving the hospital, you had done some shopping. You picked up some groceries for the week and even managed to get some clothes shopping done considering you-quite literally- couldn't remember the last time you had updated your wardrobe. Your clothes shopping haul may have included some new lingerie sets for Aaron because you knew you needed him in that manner and soon. You could only imagine that he felt the same way.
With not much else on your to do list after your shopping, you figured you'd stop for a quick bite to eat. You walked into the coffee shop on the corner near the grocery store and waited in line to order, texting Aaron as you did.
I hope you got some rest before the surgery. Don't stress about it! You're an amazing doctor and will do just fine, you assured him.
Your finger hovered over the send button for a moment as you debated about whether or not to add "I love you" to it. Sure, you knew you had to have loved him. You were engaged to the man. But you felt that it would be wrong to say such at that point in time because you barely remembered the way things were and had, essentially, started to rebuild your relationship with Aaron.
"Next in line," the barista called out.
It startled you from your thoughts, bringing you back to the present. You moved forward in line, placing your order for a croissant and your usual go to flavor of iced coffee.
"Thank you," you said to the barista as she handed back your debit card. You fumbled to put your card into your wallet and turned to head to the area where the drink pickup was. As soon as you turned, you were met with a large mass, followed by hot coffee pouring down the front of you.
"Oh shit. Oh my god. I'm so sorry," the tall man behind you said. His coffee cup lid rested on the floor along with the majority of the coffee.
You stood there stunned, looking back and forth between the mess on you and the one on the floor.
"No, it's okay," you assured, even though your skin practically burned from the coffee. "Don't worry about it."
The man rushed to grab some napkins and he passed them to you. "I'm so sorry. God, I ruined your shirt," he pointed out.
You took the napkins from him and started to pat yourself dry. "Please, stop apologizing. It's alright. I'm just as much of a klutz," you laughed.
The man's face was full of concern as he tried to make the situation better. "I can get that cleaned for you. It's really not a problem at all."
"You don't have to do that. I'm not heading anywhere that important." You continued to dab at your shirt while the man still tried to get you to cave.
"Are you sure? I feel horrible. Let me make it up to you somehow. I can buy you another coffee or..." The barista called out your name and you turned your attention to where they had placed the croissant and coffee. "Or at least reimburse you for that one," he laughed.
Adrenaline rushed through your veins. You gasped to yourself, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden rush that flowed through you. The man glanced at you, with a brow raised. "I'm sorry. What did you just say?" you asked.
"Uh, I said I'd reimburse you for that coffee," the man repeated, his tone coming off in more of a question in delivery.
It felt as though time froze as your memories came flooding back.
You saw a younger version of Aaron, hands in his scrub pockets, telling you he'd reimburse you for the coffee he spilled all over you. How he took you to get a new blouse because you were freaking out over your upcoming interview.
"Please, let me. Can't go into an interview with a ruined shirt," Aaron pleaded. He raised a brow at you waiting for you to cave.
You scoffed realizing the stubborn doctor wasn't going to let you win. "Fine. But only because I have a feeling you wouldn't stop," you teased as you started to walk to the door of the coffee shop.
Aaron walked faster around you to push the door open for you.
"So chivalrous," you laughed.
"Only after I spill coffee on women," he teased right back. "I'm Aaron by the way."
You peered at him over your shoulder as you walked to the nearest clothing store. You felt your cheeks redden with the smile that was so prevalent on Aaron's face that you were able to see that he had dimples. "I'm Y/N."
You saw the first time that Aaron had told you he loved you a few months after you had started seeing each other.
"You really made us a picnic to eat up here?" you laughed in bewilderment. Aaron had been stuck at the hospital doing a few back to back procedures to the point where he wasn't sure when he'd be able to see you again. So he had made a picnic lunch and brought it with him, setting it up on the very top of the hospital roof so that the two of you could watch the sunset.
"Would you expect anything less?" he asked smugly. He laid out the blanket, kicking off his shoes before he sat down on top of it.
"This is a small gesture for you," you teased. You followed suit and kicked off your own shoes, sitting next to him. You rested your head on his shoulders as the two of you started to eat the picnic sandwiches that he had made.
After you finished, you wrapped your arms around his torso, holding him tight. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. You felt his body tense for a brief second until he followed it with a deep exhale. "Y/N, I am so in love with you. I don't know why I didn't tell you sooner," he murmured into your ear. "I love you."
You felt your heart beat out of your chest as you whipped your head up to look at him. You threw your arms around his neck, moving to straddle his lap as you began to smother his face and lips in kisses before kissing him deeply. You ran your fingers through the hair that rested as his nape, smiling against his lips. "I love you, too."
You saw when he asked you to move in with him.
Aaron grabbed onto your waist and pulled you back into bed, groaning like a child. "Don't go," he begged as he wrapped his arms tightly around your bare body and pressing you against his.
"I have to, baby. I'm out of clothes," you explained. You pecked his lips, attempting to escape his grip but failing miserably. "Let me go, Aaron," you chuckled.
"Never. I don't want you to go." He turned over in bed, rummaging in his nightstand. You watched as the muscles in his back contracted with his movements. You also admired the scratches that were on his back from your nails from your weekend of untamed passion. Aaron turned back over to you with a smirk on his face.
You raised a brow at him and narrowed your eyes. "What do you have planned, Hotchner?"
Aaron lifted his hand from his side, opening it up. From his middle finger, a shiny silver key dangled from a key ring. "You're not going anywhere. You don't have to be out of clothes if your clothes are here. If you're here with me. Move in with me, sweetheart."
How could you say no to him?
You saw your proposal that Aaron had planned out every single minuscule detail to ensure that he truly captured the moment for you.
Your eyes watered as you watched Aaron drop to his knee on the beach. You were standing in a heart that was made from string lights, just a few feet from where he had made the two of you a candlelit dinner in the gazebo that was near the ocean.
You placed your hands over your heart as Aaron grabbed your hand in his. He reached in his pocket, pulling out the small velvet box. He flipped it open with ease, like he had opened it so many times before. And knowing Aaron, he definitely practiced.
"Y/N, I love you with my entire heart. And I mean this with every fiber of my being," he started. He took a pause, taking a deep breath before he continued. "I have never been happier to have spilled coffee on someone than when I did it the day we met." The two of you started laughing, the happy tears continuing to stream down both of your faces.
"I knew you were special that day and I have loved getting to know all about you and the things you are passionate about. I am so thankful that you have given me the chance to love you. To love all of you. I know that you're the one for me, now and until the end of time. I love you so goddamn much, Y/N. Will you make me the happiest man to ever exist and marry me?"
"Yes! Oh god yes!" You nodded your head enthusiastically as Aaron slipped the ring onto your finger. You admired the diamond ring for a brief second before launching yourself at Aaron, causing him to tumble back in the sand. He let out his deep belly laugh, the one that you were convinced he saved for you, as he rolled the two of you so that he was on top.
He looked down at you, leaning down to kiss you passionately, his tongue swiping against yours. He placed his hand behind your neck to lift up your head so that he could kiss you even deeper. Aaron groaned lightly against your lips, even more so when you ran your hands down his back.
"As much as I love making out with you in the sand, baby, there are much more intimate things I want to do to you right now," he said in between kisses.
"You can say that again," you murmured.
In an instant, the two of you scrambled up out of the sand, forgetting about anything else other than being in that moment. It was just the two of you, always had been and always would be.
And as Aaron held your hand in his, tugging you along as he ran in the sand like a pair of lovesick teenagers, you knew that there was noone else you would ever want to be with.
"Come on, Mrs. Dr. Aaron Hotchner," he teased as he continued to pull you along in his footsteps to his car.
"That's not how that title works," you laughed.
"It's how it works in my head," he yelled back over his shoulder.
You remembered.
You remembered it all.
And it wasn't until you heard the man trying to get your attention for the fifth time that you finally came back to reality.
"Miss, are you alright? I kinda lost you there for a second," he said with concern on his face.
"I have to go," you said abruptly. You started to bolt towards the coffee shop door, not looking back.
"You're leaving your order behind," the barista called out to you.
"Give it to him! He spilled his coffee on me!" you hollered back. You stopped when you got to the door, laughing to yourself, realizing how much of a scene you must be causing. But you didn't care. "I remember,'" you muttered to yourself.
You threw open the door to the coffee shop and ran back to your car, heading back to the one place where you desperately needed to be.
—----------------
You made it back to the hospital in record time. When you arrived, you ran in looking for the one man that you needed to see. Your man.
You knew the floor that he worked on and bolted up the stairs. By the time you made it up to the top, you were panting, but you didn't care. All you cared about was finding Aaron.
You looked frantically throughout the halls for him, peering into every room.
As you ran, you heard a familiar hollering. You stopped short and looked into the room, seeing Mrs. Shapiro waving her hands at her TV.
"Damnit! I knew it was the brother that did it," she murmured to herself.
You didn't waste any time before walking right into her room. Your footsteps caught her attention and she turned her head to look at you.
"Why you're Dr. Hotchner's girl, aren't you?" she asked.
"Yes, I am," you confirmed, trying to steady your breathing from all of the running you had just done. "Do you know where he is? I just really need to talk to him."
"He just got out of that liver transplant that he had scheduled maybe about 15 minutes ago. He's probably in the doctors lounge. Down the hall, sixth door on your right."
"Thank you, Mrs. Shapiro!" You turned around and bolted out the door quickly, not before yelling out, "Enjoy your Jeopardy!" to the elderly woman.
You followed her directions and practically skidded into the doctors lounge when you stopped in front of it.
Aaron's eyes peered up towards the entrance from his phone before he realized it was you that was causing all the commotion. He tossed his phone next to him on the couch and instantly stood up from the couch, closing the gap between the two of you.
His eyes scanned your body as his eyes grew wider with the concern that you were hurt. "Y/N, what the hell are you doing here?" he asked as he continued to examine you. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt? What happened? You were fine when I-"
You cut him off by grabbing his face and kissing him deeply, running your hands through his hair. He hesitated at first before returning the kiss, clearly confused as to what was going on. But soon, he melted into it, placing his hands on your hips.
You heard some of the other doctors hooting and hollering in the room but you couldn't give a damn. Not when you needed him. Not when you remembered him and everything about him.
"I remember," you murmured against his lips.
Aaron pulled back from you, lips slightly swollen, hair tousled from your fingers. "You remembered?"
"Everything, Aaron. Everything," you emphasized. "I was at the coffee shop before and some guy bumped into me, spilling his coffee on me-"
"That's why your shirt is a mess?"
"Yes. And he said something about reimbursing me for my coffee. Just like you did when we first met. It all came back to me, Aaron." You smiled at him, feeling your happy tears starting to well in your eyes.
"You really remember?" Aaron asked excitedly, bringing his hands up to cup your face.
You nodded your head. "Our anniversary. The time we built snowmen outside the house. The Poconos. Christmas with my parents. Late night talks about what we're going to name our kids." You kissed his lips again. "Everything."
Aaron cocked his head, raising a brow at you. "What did I collect when I was younger?"
"Coins. Like a nerd," you teased.
Aaron scoffed, feigning pain. "You do remember. I told you we would find you." He pressed a kiss to your forehead and then to your temple. "God, I missed you."
"I missed you, too. I missed being your mess."
Aaron gestured to your outfit, the huge coffee stain on your shirt and the way your shoes had untied on your run up to find him. "You're always a mess." He captured your lips again, smiling into the kiss. "But I told you. You're my mess, sweet girl."
You pulled back from him and pressed your forehead against his. "Do you, uh, need to stay here? Or can we head out of here?"
"Oh, God. No, we're going home," Aaron practically growled. He grabbed onto your hand, turned back to grab his phone off the couch and started to pull you by your hand.
"What about the rest of your stuff?" you asked.
"Tomorrow," he grumbled as he moved through the hustle and bustle of the hospital, weaving in and out of people without missing a beat.
He was a man on a mission and it was a mission you both desperately needed.
Aaron led you into a hallway, opening up one of the doors to a filing room. He yanked you into it, eliciting a small yelp from you. He closed the door behind you, clicking the lock. He was on you in a second, his lips devouring yours as he pressed you against the door.
You gripped onto his forearms as he hiked up your leg around his waist. You moaned against his lips as he continued his assault of kisses and bites wherever your skin was exposed. "Aaron," you let out breathlessly. "What happened to going home?"
Aaron sucked on the skin of your neck, leaving a hickey in his wake. "Couldn't wait. Need you now," was all he managed to mutter before he continued to kiss you.
He brought a hand up to your chest, kneading your tits through your shirt. "Jesus fucking Christ. I missed your fucking tits, Y/N. I missed your gorgeous, tight pussy."
You clenched your thighs together, feeling your arousal start to pool in your panties. "Have I ever told you, I've always wanted to fuck somewhere in the hospital with you, Dr. Hotchner? Your scrubs are such a fucking turn on," you said in a sultry tone.
Aaron let out a guttural moan and buried his face into your neck as he continued to fondle your tits before moving down to squeeze your ass. "You can't say shit like that to me, Y/N. Not right now. I might just fucking come in my scrubs."
It was only then did you notice just how hard and ready he was for you. His scrubs were only containing his erection so much. There was nothing for you to imagine. It was all there in its glory, all for you.
Aaron hooked his fingers into your jeans and pulled them down along with your panties in one clean sweep. He got down on his knees in front of you, kissing up your legs to your inner thighs. He kissed your pussy, groaning at the sight of how wet it was for him. "Look at this," he groaned. He swiped a finger through your folds, spreading your arousal.
"I don't even think this needy girl needs my mouth today. You're already fucking soaked. Miss me and my cock that much?" Aaron teased.
"Oh god, yes," you moaned, arching your back against the door. "You have no idea, Aaron."
Aaron stood up, tugging his shirt off over his head before pushing his pants and boxers down to reveal his cock, the head of it already leaking with precum.
Aaron braced himself against the door, teasing your entrance with his tip. He leaned forward towards your ear and whispered, "I promise I'll fuck you good when we get home. I just need to get inside of you right now before I lose my goddamn mind."
You nodded frantically, moving his hand away from his cock. You stroked him a few times, hearing the breathy moans you  had always loved. It was always your favorite to see Aaron fall apart at your touch. There was something so hot about him losing himself to you whenever you two had sex that only turned you on more.
You lined him up at your entrance, wanton moans escaping you as you felt more and more needy and impatient. Aaron grabbed your face with one hand, kissing you roughly at the same time he thrust forward, slamming into you. He silenced your loud moans with his mouth, devouring your lips with his own.
He gave you a few seconds to adjust to him since it had been a bit since the two of you had had sex. You gripped onto his shoulders, bracing onto him for dear life. Aaron snapped his hips forward once, causing your back to slide against the door.
You squeezed his shoulders harshly, biting down on your bottom lip. "Aaron, I need you. Fuck me," you begged.
"Whatever you need, baby," he grumbled. He hoisted your legs up around his waist as he began to pound into you.
The room was filled with both of your moans, the air filling with the smell of sex. Aaron continued to snap his hips as you rolled yours to meet his thrusts. He buried his head into your shoulder, niping and kissing where he could find exposed skin under your shirt.
"Remember how good I can fuck you?" he asked as he picked up the pace.
"Yes," you moaned out.
"Remember how my cock fits so snugly into your perfect little pussy?"
You squeezed onto his shoulders, feeling your orgasm building. "God, yes," you said breathlessly.
"Remember what it feels like when you clench around my throbbing cock, getting your cum all over it?" Aaron snaked his hand down in between your legs, adding a finger to your throbbing core. He moved his finger in tandem with his hips. He was hitting your g-spot just in the right spot to where you knew you would be seeing stars soon enough.
You kissed him feverishly as you ran your hands down his chest, needing to touch him in any way, shape or form. You nodded, unable to speak anymore as he continued to fuck you. The only thing that would come out of your mouth were your moans and gasps, all music to Aaron's ears.
"I remember," you managed to say.
"Good. Because I never forgot. I could never forget the way you make me feel. You drive me insane, Y/N. I fucking love you so much." Aaron pressed a firm kiss to your lips, his finger still circling through your pussy, massaging your clit. He hoisted you up further against the door, his arms flexing as the new angle made him deeper than before.
You threw your head back against the door, feeling your release quickly approaching. "Aaron," you whined.
"Come for me, pretty girl. I want to feel you clench around me. Come for me, Y/N," Aaron encouraged.
Pleasure rippled through your entire body as you came around Aaron's cock. You leaned forward, biting down on his shoulder to stifle the scream you so desperately wanted to let out. Aaron groaned loudly at the contact on his shoulder and you felt him meet his own climax.
Slowly, Aaron stilled his hips as he tried to control his breathing and calm himself down. The simultaneous pants from the both of your were all that was heard as you tried to process how Aaron had just fucked you in his workplace.
Aaron waited a moment before setting you down on the ground. He made sure that he held you steady at first because you weren't sure if your legs would be able to support your weight now that you were flying on adrenaline and pure lust. You had never had an experience like that with Aaron before and it was something that you honestly hoped would happen again.
You saw the faint lines of the teeth mark on his shoulder and you reached your hand out to brush your finger along it. "I'm sorry about that," you chuckled. "I don't know what came over me."
"Don't worry about it. Not gonna lie, it's pretty hot," Aaron admitted nonchalantly.
Aaron tugged his shirt back on before looking around to see if there was something to clean you up with. When you saw the frantic look in his eyes when he realized there actually was nothing, you waved it off. "We're just heading home anyway. I'll clean up then," you told him.
Aaron pulled up his pants and boxers and raised a brow. "Are you sure?"
"Positive," you assured as you covered the bottom half of your body with your pants and underwear.
Aaron came up to you and cupped your face in his hands. He ran his thumbs along your jawline before kissing you gently. "If you say so."
The two of you stood in silence for a few moments, just taking in each other's company.
"It's good to have you back," Aaron whispered, placing his forehead against yours.
"It's good to be back," you agreed. You placed your hands on his hips as he continued to cradle your face.
"Let's elope," Aaron said abruptly.
Your eyes widened in shock and you took a step back from him. "Elope?" you emphasized.
Aaron laughed too, nodding his head. "Yes. I want to marry you today. After not having you for a little bit, even though I did to a certain extent, I'm not risking anything. I want you to be my wife by the end of today." Aaron grabbed your hands in his and rubbed circles on the back of them.
"We can still have a wedding and reception down the line. But I want to marry you today," he emphasized.
His wish had caught you by surprise and frankly, you weren't sure how to respond. You had been expecting a whole big wedding to plan but now that Aaron wanted to elope? Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.
You squeezed his hands, pecking a kiss to the tip of his nose. "Let's do it."
"Yeah?" he asked excitedly.
"Yeah," you nodded. Aaron pulled you into a tight embrace, running his fingers down your back.
"Don't ever leave me again," he whispered.
"I'll try not to," you laughed lightly.
Aaron tightened his grip on you briefly before letting you go. "Let's go home, get cleaned up, and head to the courthouse." Aaron unlocked the door, poking his head out and checking the hallway in both directions. He peered back at you over his shoulder with a smirk dancing across his lips. "Ready to become Mrs. Dr. Aaron Hotchner?"
"You mean your lawfully wedded mess?" you teased.
Aaron pecked your lips sweetly before opening the door fully to leave the room.
"Always."
And as the two of you left the hospital, Aaron tugging your hand just like he did the night of your proposal, you knew there was no one else you'd want to be with. Aaron Hotchner was the one you loved , the one who loved you and you would always remember that.

Genre: Romance, Angst
Summary: The reader thinks she's doing a stellar job of keeping her feelings for a certain soldier buried deep inside. Turns out, all it takes is an observant new friend to begin the unraveling of her most precious secret (Spoilers for TFATWS)
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Word: Pretence
Definition: A way of acting that is intended to deceive people.
Example: Saying that he's just a friend when he's really the love of your life.
Your POV
Being caught in the midst of war is something that I, (Y/N) (Y/L/N)  know all too well. As a war vet, former shield agent, and now Avenger I'm used to being centered amongst conflict. When the fight begins within me though, a battle between what I want and what I think is right, how will I react? Will I listen to my heart, my head, or will the winner be chosen for me?
Delacroix, Louisiana.....
I love my sleep, always have, always will. It's not necessarily the comfort of the bed, the quiet or even the rest. It's the fact that I'm at peace when I sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, so anything that will put that off for as long as possible I savor.
I wish it were the same for a certain super soldier in my life. I look forward to going to bed, everything calms down then, and for most people it's the same. For Bucky however, it's when everything starts, the nightmares, the terrors, the seemingly unending darkness. If only I could take his pain away like he has with mine.
For the last few weeks, my life had, for want of a better word, been hectic. Hectic to say the least.
After the eventual defeat of Thanos and the loses we endured as a result, I thought naively that life might calm down a bit, that I'd have time to breathe, to live. How wrong I was.
It all began with John Walker being announced to the world as the new Captain America.
I was baking cookies with Morgan in the Stark family kitchen when it came over the radio. As that latest turn of events sunk in, my first thoughts were of Bucky, what that would do to him. Not even an hour later I had said my goodbyes and was on my way to help him get the shield back.
Since then even more had happened. We'd regrouped with Sam, busted Zemo out of prison which in turn ruffled the feathers of Ayo and the Dora Milaje. We came face to face with Morgenthou and the Flag Smashers, and finally witnessed the man who thought he could even compete with Steve, make himself judge, jury and most significantly executioner.
After that went around the world we knew we had to end it sooner rather than later. It couldn't get much worse than Captain America becoming a murderer. We got the shield back, which was a fight all in itself. Handed Zemo over to Ayo, to try and recompense for the distrust we'd instilled in the people who'd helped us so much. Then we travelled to stay with Sam and his family in Louisiana whilst we waited for Karli's next move.
This is where we found ourselves now, in the eye of it, the calm before the storm.
Waking up in the Wilson households guest room, I was greeted to the golden hue of the rising sun penetrating through the single glaze windows, and the melodic sounds of gulls on the hunt for their morning meal down by the docks.
Actually, no that's not right. What I could hear was most certainly not birds, and it was definitely not melodic. What were those boys doing?
Quickly and quietly I threw on the first clothes I could get my hands on and made my way downstairs towards the noise. What caught my attention when I discovered the source, was not the two youngest Wilson boys playing with our newly reacquired shield in the living room, but the super solider who was blissfully ignorant to it all, sleeping peacefully on the couch in front of them. I don't think I'd ever been so happy.
"Right you two, if you're determined to play Avengers all morning then I suggest you re-assemble in the back yard. You're gonna wake Bucky up," I whispered out in one breath, stepping between the boys, then placing my hands on their backs and tip toeing them towards the door.
"So what if we wake him up? It's gone 10am," Cass questioned in protest, pulling on his sneakers and jacket.
"Exactly! Which is why if you do as I say, I will make you the biggest plate of waffles for breakfast that you've ever seen."
The boys eyes lit up. "Can we have ice cream with it? Mum never lets us have ice cream for breakfast, and I'm sure there's a tub of Stark raving hazelnuts in the freezer," AJ clapped in muted excitement. "Oh, for God's sake.....Yes. You can have whatever you want if you get out of this house now and keep the noise down."
Once the boys were outside, I made my way over to the kitchen, stopping on the way to lean over my favourite senior citizen and make sure that he was still peaceful in his slumber. He'd never looked so relaxed, so at ease. It was a brand new Bucky I'd never seen before, a Bucky that had my heart pounding for him even more than it normally did. Not that he knew any of that.
Half an hour later and up to my elbows in waffle mix, I failed to notice my new friend and host Sarah making her way to my side at the counter, the huge smile on my face not going unnoticed. "What's got you grinning like the Cheshire cat, like I need to ask?"
"Bucky's sleeping. Isn't it amazing?" I spoke softly, bouncing up and down on my feet as I did so.
"And why is that?" She couldn't looked more confused if she tried.
"In all the years I've known him, I don't think I've ever woken up before he has. If his nightmares don't keep him awake all night, they normally have him up before the crack of dawn. I don't think I've ever seen him so still."
"Good answer," Sarah nodded in a hush, understanding why this meant so much to me, but not done yet with her morning interrogations, "Now on to my next question......"
"I'm already not liking the sound of this."
"Sleeping Beauty over there follows you around like a little puppy dog. He hangs on your every word, looks at you like you hung the stars or something. It's pretty obvious how crazy he is about you, so when are you gonna stop pretending that you're not head over heels in love with him?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Wilson," I smiled forcefully, making out like the waffle maker deserved my attention way more than the conversation I was being made to have.
This was all Sam's doing, without a shadow of a doubt. He'd tried to have this conversation with me on multiple occasions and I shut him down every time. He obviously hadn't given up like I thought he did, and decided to draft in his sister. He is seriously gonna regret it when I find him.
"Sure you know what I'm talking about. Sam sees it, I don't even know you that well and I see it. The only reason Bucky doesn't, is because he doesn't believe he could ever be that lucky. You're a smitten kitten." These Wilson's are all as annoying as each other.
Knowing I wasn't getting out of this one, I grabbed Sarah by the arm and pulled her right into the corner of the room, trying my best to keep this convo as private as possible. "Look, I'm not pretending.....I'm ignoring. There's a difference."
"Care to explain what that difference is?" Sarah spoke softly, but with a sarcastic air.
Turning to look over my shoulder at the subject of our conversation, making sure he was still safely in the land of nod, I decided to just be honest. Sarah was much like her brother. Once she wanted to get to the bottom of something she wasn't about to give up.
"I love Bucky, more than I've ever loved anyone...and that terrifies me," the rawness of finally being honest making my voice shake, and tears come to my eyes. "Nat was like my sister, and she's dead. Tony was the closest I've ever gotten to having a Dad...and he's dead too. Then there's Steve, Vision, God knows where Wanda is....Everyone I love, either leaves or dies. If I admit my feelings for Buck then I face the risk of losing him too."
"Do you have any idea how crazy you sound right now? He's not going to die because you love him (Y/N)."
Silent tears were falling now. I was revealing my deepest fears to a woman I'd only known a few days, and I'm not underplaying it when I say it was like a colossal weight off my chest, a release I didn't know I needed. "Believe me...I know, but I can't take that risk. I can't lose anyone else, especially not him."
"Let's just say for a second that you're right, that there is some higher power somewhere, set on destroying everyone you love. Do you really think ignoring your feelings is going to make them disappear?" I didn't know what to say to that. "Natasha and Stark died so that everyone could continue living, and (Y/N) you're not living as long as you keep this to yourself. They wouldn't want that for you."
"But what if I lose him?" I whispered with a choked sigh.
"Then at least he'll die knowing how you felt about him. After everything he's been through don't you think he deserves to know there's someone out there who loves him like you do?"
"Of course..."
Sarah's lips pulled upwards in a satisfied smirk, wrapping her arm around my shoulder and giving it a comforting squeeze, "then you owe it to yourself, and to him, to tell him the truth."
"Why do all you Wilson's have to be so clever?" I voiced in mock irritation, pushing her away from me and acting like I was annoyed she had gotten one up on me.
"I don't know," she thought aloud and with a cheeky grin, grabbing a plate to start piling on the long forgotten waffles, "I think it might be the sea air or something."
"Nah, it's in the genes," I chuckled quietly, grabbing my jacket and deciding it was time to get this conversation wrapped up. "I'll go find Sam and the boys for breakfast. Clear my head a little bit."
"You promise you're gonna tell him?" Sarah stopped me as I went to push the door open.
"I'll think about it."
3rd person POV
Once (Y/N) was out of ear shot, Sarah couldn't help but start jumping up and down in excitement, clapping her hands loudly as she did so. That went even better than she thought it would, and she was so proud of herself. Sarah Wilson could now add matchmaker to her resume.
"Coast is clear Barnes. You can open your eyes now."
(Y/N) had no idea what she had metaphorically walked into just minutes earlier, entering that very revealing conversation with her overly inquisitive host.
What drew Sarah to come down that morning was the sounds of both the front porch door opening and the smell of homemade waffles wafting up the stairs. As she entered the kitchen she was met with two sights. One being (Y/N), facing the counter and looking very smiley, the other being a wide awake super soldier who was just laying on the couch and staring at her, the sole object of his affection. Sarah could work with this.
Every time (Y/N) turned back in his direction, Bucky would close his eyes and pretend to be asleep again. He had never slept so soundly, so peacefully, thoughts of (Y/N) and his new friends filling his nightmare free dreams.
He'd initially woken to (Y/N) ushering the boys outside because she was afraid they would wake him up. He didn't want to disappoint her by proving her right. Besides, he liked just watching her move around the kitchen, completely unaware he was observing her the whole time. He had no idea about the conversation that was just about to happen.
After (Y/N) had left and Sarah had confirmed so, Bucky sat himself up, his body shaking with adrenaline and a look of complete shock fixed on his face. Had he definitely woken up, or had the whole thing been a part of his dream? Did (Y/N) seriously just admit that she was in love with him?
Bucky didn't know how to react, didn't know what to say as he looked up at a smug Sarah from his spot. All he'd ever wanted was for (Y/N) to feel the same way about him as he did about her. Now he knew that she did.
"You're welcome by the way."

Late night gaming sessions is so good?? You're feeding the hungry i swear
Anyways an idea to maybe throw in with someone else's idea for another part: the reader has difficulty remembering to do things from time to time (meds, eat, water, etc.) and p03 decides to assist in reminding them for various "reasons" lol
Thank you, dear! I'm very glad that you're enjoying it so far; I hope you enjoy this next part too 🙏
Late Night Gaming Sessions.
The previous part can be found here.
Pairing: None.
Warnings: Mentions of food and eating, mentions of a canon character death.
Summary: "I... did not realise you care about me so much."
"You had breakfast yet?"
Your eyes close, and you can't help but give a laugh. You hadn't been expecting this quite literally as soon as you'd opened the game... You'd thought you'd at least get a 'hello' - or, knowing P03, a 'what took you so long' - first.
"No," you admit, shaking your head, "not yet."
On your computer screen, the bot's expression changes to something frustrated, and he huffs a synthesised sigh. "We've been over this like a hundred times already... Go and eat something. I'm not talking to you until you do."
You chuckle once more, sure that he's joking. "Oh, come on. It's really not that big a dea--"
His monitor abruptly switches off.
"...P03?"
You wave your hand, tilting your head.
"Hello...?"
Still no response.
"...You're genuinely gonna give me the silent treatment until I get breakfast, aren't you."
You can only take his rare silence and blank display as a 'yes.'
"Fine, fine..."
Up you get, heading to your kitchen. You are kind of hungry, honestly; you'd just forgotten to get something since it was still so early...
You pour yourself a bowl of cereal, a little smile playing on your lips.
It isn't that you really need to be looked out for by your robot menace-turned-possible-friend... or, well, maybe you do and you just don't want to admit it... but you do appreciate it.
You take a seat at your computer once more, holding your bowl up to your webcam so that P03 can see it. "I got something to eat."
As if by magic, the robot's face returns on his monitor. You can practically feel the satisfaction radiating off of him now that you've done as he asked. "Good."
Settling back in your chair, you begin to eat; you've no doubt that he'll give you a scolding if you don't, and even if his voice is just synthesised bleeps, you don't really want to be getting an ear-bending this early in the morning.
"So," you begin, "how come you wanted to talk through Inscryption today? That seems really specific."
"Right... Let me explain."
On the screen, P03's hand - claw? - taps slowly, rhythmically against the table in front of him, and his monitor displays an ellipsis. Whatever's on his mind, he seems to be thinking about it pretty hard.
"Do you remember the," his eyes glance upwards for a moment, "uh, second time we spoke?"
Now you're the one taking a moment to think, idly chewing on your cereal as you do. "Think so," you finally nod.
"Do you remember how I gave you some fake sob story about 'the world being in danger' or something to psych you out?"
"Yeah. Thanks for that, by the way," you give a half-hearted glare into the webcam.
He gives a cheeky wink, before he goes... disturbingly, uncharacteristically serious once again. "That... wasn't entirely a lie. No, the world isn't in danger; but there is data embedded in this game that's... dangerous. Genuinely so."
Your chewing slows slightly, head tilting a little as you listen closely, trying to ignore the niggling feeling of worry growing in the pit of your stomach. "Go on..."
"The thing is," he goes on, "Inscryption was uploaded to Steam by my good self, but I didn't make it, obviously. It was originally made by this..." He seems to bristle. "...company. And, well... We never did have all the details - because why would we - but that company... it isn't good, let's put it that way."
Your mind is trying to piece together what you're hearing, but... it's very early, and it's all very strange. "So... what you're saying is... the company's bad, and they made the game knowing there was bad stuff in there?"
"Bit worse than that, actually," P03 gives a dry chuckle, even as his expression shows his true displeasure. "They made Inscryption as a front. A cover-up specifically for that 'bad stuff.' This whole world, our entire existence... It was all made to hide whatever's deep in here."
You can't help but grimace. "Yikes... that's awful," you sigh. "Are they... still around?"
On your monitor, the robot seems to... freeze for a moment. Not because of any fault on your computer's end, no; no, he actually seems to be... hesitant. As though whatever this company is is so terrible that it's difficult to even discuss.
"Yes," he eventually says, his tone uncharacteristically downcast. "You've seen the video files in this thing, right?"
"The, uh... the Lucky Carder guy?"
"Yep, that's the one." He seems to breathe a sigh of relief. "Good, for a second I was worried his logs didn't make it onto the upload... So, you haven't completed the game - and let's face it, you're never going to - so I'll just tell you: that man - who was a real person, by the way, that's not a part of the game or anything - is... not here anymore."
...You're not sure you like where this is going... but you need to ask regardless:
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean he's dead."
Ah, leave it to P03 to deliver such disturbing news so very matter-of-factly...
"And he's dead," the bot continues solemnly, "because he learned too much about that company."
...You set your cereal aside on the computer desk; you're decidedly no longer hungry.
"P03... why are you telling me all this?"
"I know, I know, you're wondering how we got from 'why are we talking via the game?' to a true crime story, but... Trust me, it's relevant."
Before you can ask, the robot is leaning closer to you, and for a moment you're almost sure his sound bytes lower in volume as though he's whispering.
"That day, when you were run over," he begins in a tone so serious that it sends a shiver down your spine. "Did you notice anything weird? Any people following you around... any suspicious characters..."
"N-No," you shake your head, brows furrowed as you try your hardest to think. "No, I... don't think so..." You swallow to wet your now dry throat, eyes meeting P03's own on the monitor.
...You don't want to ask this question, but you don't have a choice.
"...Do you think people from this company are after me?"
"There's a nonzero chance."
"And you wanted to speak to me here because..."
"Because they won't be paying attention to individual copies of Inscryption. If they're tracking you, it'll either be your IP - your Internet activity, your messenger conversations, that stuff - or your phone activity."
You... don't know what to make of all this. You really don't. You'd made your peace with having a video game antagonist haunting your PC and your phone - hell, you'd actually been getting along well with him - but this...
"...I've got to ask," you begin, your voice quiet with fear. "Are you working with them or something? Did you bring them to me on purpose?"
For a moment, his eyes widen. It's an expression you've definitely never seen before; he looks... horrified. "Seriously?" You can't work out if his sound bytes sound offended or hurt. "I save your life... talk to you every day... remind you to nourish yourself every time you forget to... and you still think I'm out to get you."
A wince crosses your features. You immediately regret your words... P03 had been good to you, despite the initial circumstances of your meeting; how could you have said such a thing...?
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that... I'm just... I'm scared, okay? I'm scared, and I'm confused..."
"Yep, well, that makes two of us," he admits with a sigh. "...But listen."
You do. His synthetic gaze is so sincere; you can't help but listen to what he has to say.
"GameFuna are... evil. Or at the very least, they're working alongside it. And because of them, I've already lost one person I... didn't entirely hate."
His eyes are meeting your own. In that moment, it feels almost as though you're right in front of each other; as though there's no computer monitor keeping you worlds away from one another.
"I'm not going to let them take you like they took him. They're spineless cowards anyway; they're after me, not you. And if they think they're going to reclaim me, or go through you to get to me, they have another @%$#ing thing coming because they're not getting either of us. I won't let them."
Your eyes widen, and you blink a few times...
...and a tiny smile manages to catch the corner of your lips even in this situation, a warmth soothing your terrified heart.
"I... did not realise you care about me so much."
"Yeah well that's because you're an idiot," he rolls his eyes, in a way that's comforting familiar in amongst all this uncertainty.
"...but you're my idiot, so I'm not going to let anything happen to you. No matter what."

Tumblr media
For about a week and a half, you simply ignore the outrageous box sitting in the centre of your living room.
If you omit to remember what’s inside, it’s just a nice-looking decoration, embellishing your messy coffee table. It’s perfectly fine sitting between the unopened mails and the takeout brochures. You see Jungkook glance at it each time he comes over but he has the decency to not mention it. You might have read a little disappointment but he didn’t share it with you, not wanting to bother you, as you rightfully assumed, and in any case, you’re just doing exactly what you said you would: not use it. 
Then comes a glorious day of resting from work for you, and miraculously it matches your two closest girl friends' schedules and they owe to come over, celebrate a belated Christmas with you. And as you’re quickly tidying up the place, the question of the box being way too present here is raised again. They will ask about it. One will surely open it before you even get to answer.
The box has to go. 
And in your room, hidden in your bedside table where you know no one will peak, it goes. 
When you wake up from the fantastic, long-awaited Christmas celebration, it’s with a terrible headache. Mary, the amateur singer, received a ridiculous karaoke mic and if karaoke is involved, so is alcohol. You didn’t know that but apparently, you can get a severe almost deadly hangover from rosé. Well. Starting this new year already learning new things, how great. 
One thing that’s unchanged for this new year, as it seems, is Jungkook's talent for psychic arts. He somehow knows you need a copious breakfast made with love and by him, and the curious hangover shot only his roommate has the secret recipe of, to cope with being alive this morning. 
“Hello, Sunshine.” Your face feels so bloated and tensed at the same time like it’s made of playdoh and some devilish kid came and punched at it then squished it hard with its chubby mean fingers.
Very unpleasant.
You know you have very little to do with a ray of sunshine at the moment. You're more alike a gremlin or something. Therefore, as a gremlin would, you groan an answer. You catch through the minuscule slits you now own for eyelids a grin from him. It’s not even vexing or upsetting. His lovely, lovely smile is always a blessing. It’s the only thing that makes you not want to head back to bed and just sleep until death ensues. The pretty, pretty thing. With the big bunny front teeth. He is the sunshine. 
“Had fun last night?” He asks, still grinning, once he’s served you and himself two good plates of pancakes. He’s sitting in front of you, in front of this delicious looking good, yet he’s ogling you with a strange insistence. When he starts eating because you take too long to formulate a response, he munches slowly, still staring, instead of stuffing his face and swallow down the whole thing like a starving man, like he usually does. 
“Yeah. They spoiled me.” You say, quietly. You’re confused. You feel uneasy like there’s something you’re not getting. You hate this feeling. Usually, this friendship is filled with inside jokes you can make up exclusively via telepathy. But here you’re missing something, it feels. Or you might just be confused by the headache and possibly somehow still a bit drunk. 
“Oh did they?” The beam is even wider. You frown, nod, decide that it’s too early and your brain too foggy to try and investigate a confusion that might just be the product of your imagination. 
It doesn’t click then. It doesn’t click the next three times he asks you again, with slightly different formulations if, really, you had fun last night. 
He departs an hour later because he has an appointment with a client, as always leaving some of himself for your guilty pleasure and the marking on your eyelids of that curious grin. That curious mischievous grin. With the crooked shape, the white teeth looking menacing like a wolve’s and the eyebrows arched in suggestion.
How come such an attractive look can be so anxiety-inducing? You’re too fidgety, too confused and concerned to focus on anything. Remnants of the conversation rolling back again and again, trying to make sense of things that probably do not necessitate further explaining. 
The whole ordeal made you so nervous, you end up after an hour of trying to go about your day and failing poorly, sitting on your sofa, lotus style, eyes closed and hands turned up to the universe (hoping It might offer you some clearance It would just drop off in your palms). The thing is meditating is hard. Making so your brain would shut the fuck up is hard as hell. And you suck at it. 
Spoiler alert, you don’t reach the state of inner peace and quiet you wished to find. Instead, you make enough silence for your noggins to be more performing and suddenly it hits. Your eyes grow ten times in size, you almost fall from your sit for the shock is violent.
The moron.
You or him, probably both. 
You
I did NOT use it.
You
I put it away because the girls were coming over but I DID NOT USE IT
He simply replies with a winking emoji and you hate him for it. 
You
Jeon Jungkook, ur a dick I said I wouldnt use it EVER and I won’t, have a nice day moron. 
And again, this time, you mean it. You’ve never said anything with this much conviction in these twenty-five years of living.
Why would you now? When you now have experienced what it felt to have him look at you thinking you’ve done it. It felt mortifying without even knowing why. In all the case scenarios you could have come up with, you’ve never imagined that one. You would use it, he would know about it somehow, he wouldn’t be disgusted (it wouldn’t make sense for him to be as he is the one who offered it to you but your brain and soft ego sometimes are annoying like that), he would be amused, maybe content, but he wouldn't make you feel mortified. 
Having him considering you in a sexual position should be... cool, shouldn’t it? If you really like him that much. Maybe you were confused all along and actually, you don’t, you mistook your own feelings. 
Just a quick check of a mental picture you have of him, the fond smile growing just from his pretty face with the pretty everything on it can’t be trusted because, for all you know, everyone smiles this way when they think about him. On the other hand, the swift blush invading your cheeks when you (by accident) linger on parts you really really like about him -like his thighs or the man titties he’s been growing lately- serve to remind you that yes, yes indeed you like him. 
But he’s an asshole.
No matter how much you thought about it (and you thought about it a lot even though you’re ashamed to admit it), you've never consider it to realize, you never and you still don’t believe anything non-platonic would ever happen with him. You’re just made to be friends. The best of friends but still just friends. 
Not even taking a step but simply dipping the tips of your toes in these unknown waters turns out to be terrifying and you're mad at him because he’s putting you in this situation where you feel awfully uneasy. 
It should all remain a very personal, very intimate fantasy: your attraction for him.
He cracked the wall for a second, it felt wrong and terrible but it’s done and over with now.
It’s only you and your thoughts. 
You don’t ever mention it, he doesn’t bring it back up. Soon the season of celebrations and wishes is behind you, the world starts rolling slowly, boringly so with its lots of little annoyances and distractions and you’re not even thinking about it anymore, neither is he. 
You’re stressed out. Work is being a bitch as it does. And because it sucks most of your time and patience, the only quick way to unwind you know comes to play. 
But the hassle is not worth it. Unfortunately this you always need to realize afterwards. After having searched the internet for good masturbatory content for half an hour, working yourself for two hours and then, there’s the safety wee and the freshening up before bed, to wake up the next morning feeling like shit because of course, you sacrificed hours of sleep for an unsatisfactory outcome.
It’s not worth it.
It hasn’t been for months. Even if you’re still more able to take care of yourself and pleasure yourself better than most if not all men you’ve ever been with, something is missing: a man (or maybe just a dick). 
You feel bored and empty (in both senses). Stuck because the more you need to unwind, the more you try, the less you feel better. 
It’s the snake biting its own tail. 
Until a certain pretty blue box, sleeping inside your bedside table, recalls itself to you. It feels like a century had passed since the box arrived in your life, it doesn’t seem as scary as it used to, as stressful. The fact that Jungkook hasn’t mentioned it, might even has himself forgotten about it, help immensely. 
And it is the very moment, you forget to remember about this promise you made to him and yourself, the promise that you would not use it. 
Right about now, not only stressed and annoyed by everything but also horny for no particular reason, this dildo with the box that matches your planner sounds ideal. 
And it is ideal.
Feels like exactly what you needed. The size is not ridiculously big, it’s fairly tiny actually but given you haven’t had sex in a while, it suffices to stretch you out just fine. It’s new and exciting. The texture feels really nice, smooth, slipping perfectly right between your walls. It’s rather long, slightly curved, filling you in deep and teasing the spot that you could never even dream of reaching with your short ass fingers. And in no time (and you actually regret that) you’re on cloud 9, it’s a thought of the Santa that brought this blessing of a gift in your life that sends you there. You feel satisfied, content, fulfilled from the tip of your hair to your toes, smiling like an idiot because damn, that was a good orgasm. 
Right this moment, you feel fine about using the present. About quickly having thought about him too because it’s not that much of a big deal. He won’t know about it. He doesn’t really seem to care about your sex life anymore (which is, ironically, a blessing). Therefore why should there be a problem? Why would there be?
Apparently, you’ve underestimated the crankiness of your attitude for the few weeks that passed before the phenomenal orgasm. 
Apparently, you had been the worst kind of truculent bitch there is, to a level you didn’t even know you could reach (also no one told you!), because when Jungkook meets up with you, maybe after the third or fourth times of having used your lovely new companion, he noticed something has changed. Instantly. 
“What’s going on?” He asks with a bright smile and excited shiny eyes as if he expects you to have great news to share. 
“Nothing special...” Tilting your head to the side, you drag the words out as you try to think about it for a second, wondering if there’s something that needs to be told.
“Really?” He sucks on his banana yoghurt with eyebrows frowned, staring at you as if he’s studying you. Once the thing is empty, he tosses it in a nearby bin, crosses his arms on his chest and glares. He looks like a detective about to interrogate you. He would look intimidating if it were not for his lips, sucked in to gather the last taste of his yoghurt. “You look awfully happy.”
“Do I?” It makes you smile, shrug your shoulders. It doesn’t hit just then. It should be fine. He can’t unravel something that you don’t even have knowledge of, can he? But Jungkook is a little weasel. He loves to know everything.
Especially when it’s about you. 
“You better not be seeing anyone-“ You should wonder where this is coming from, all of a sudden. Instead, you take offence, how dares he?
“What do you mean ‘I better’? I do what-“
“Without telling me? You better not.” He has that shit-eating grin, his signature brat's smile, because he knows you can’t reach over the table to smack him in the head without risking to tip over your drinks or dip your sleeve in soja sauce. 
“Anyway. Nothing's going on.” For a second, a staring contest takes place on this convenience store's terrace. You’re not sure why. He’s daring you for no reason. Until his mouth twitches, wanting to smile and it makes you laugh so he follows along. “Were you not supposed to tell me about your next appointment?” 
“Client Amy, yes!” It shouldn’t make you laugh to hear him name her like that as it’s been his trademark to mention his clients as if they were Pokémon trainers but it does.
You’ve always thought that it’s his very personal way of living this childhood fantasy of existing within the Pokémon universe. His life is full of potential trainers. Most of the time it’s just Client Enter the Name here but sometimes it’s Baker Jin -who’s not actually a baker but a salesman at his neighbourhood’s bakery-, there’s Dancer Hoseok, who’s the main dance partner of his best friend and Roommate Park Jimin. Sometimes he calls you Friend Y/N, it’s frustratingly funny. You hate that you spill at least a nose snort at each and every single one of his stupid jokes. His grin always grows ten times bigger, his eyes twinkle in a lovely way but you know that you are encouraging him. Encouraging him to be fucking annoying, like a little brother who’s just pushing unfunny jokes too far, just keep repeating them because he knows he can get a reaction. “She wants me to tattoo the dragon from Spirited Away on her arm-“
You gasp and he smiles even wider. 
“I know, right? And I was thinking- to give it flow, I would have it- like fly through cherry blossoms.” Attentively, you listen, squinting a bit when he gets technical to try and picture the project you have a hard time making up alone in your mind.
Imagination and creativity have always been his thing. He had you impregnated with it long ago because he is too passionate and too much of a sharer to allow you to keep away from all arts -because you can’t hold a pencil straight without panicking at the idea of having to draw something- which you would have gladly done if it weren't for him. He’s the gifted one. And his drawings, either on paper, screen or skin, have always been a subject of huge admiration for you. You’re a bit ashamed to admit it but you’ve never really touched to anything really artistic. You often don’t really get it. But his stuff does something to you -and not only because you adore him but actually impartially. There’s no finesse, no pertinency, no trait nor emotion you’ve acknowledged and connected to better than the ones he creates. “You know this scene where he’s struggling against the little paper thingies and he’s flying through them and they’re going everywhere, I was thinking that, replace them with cherry blossoms. And there would be little petals like everywhere around it. Sounds cool?”
“It sounds fantastic.” You say honestly. You’re impressed by every single one of his projects. Always surprised, somehow, by the pieces he ends up making. Sometimes scrolling through the Instagram page he uses as a book, where he publishes his most elaborated, most expensive pieces and while recognizing his touch, the delicacy in his traits, the peculiar curls of certain lines, the overall feel to them, there’s always this sort of paradoxical disbelief. How could this kid make these and at the same time, who else but him to have made these?
Cute nose scrunches up. 
“I’ll send you my drawings when I’m done with them.”
“Cool.”
“Cool.” He is mimicking you. Same pose with the head nod and the leg cross. Same tone and same expression apart from the discreet light dancing in his eye. “So what’s up? You needed to talk to me about something yesterday, didn’t you?”
It takes a second for you to remember as the drastic change in your mood makes it seem the distressed text you sent him yesterday, right when you left work, was written a whole week ago. You don’t remember very well having felt so stressed and pissed off, pushed to your very limits by useless co-workers, that you felt the urgent need to rant about it all, vent your anger and frustration out to him. He was busy and didn’t answer right away. You got home, find the comfort of your sweater sitting on the warm heater and the glorious stand of your dildo and it all went away, bad mood, headache, grudges. 
Of course, it awakes a wave of shame within you. If you have been able to use it without feeling guilt nor embarrassment on your own, it’s something else to think about it in front of Jungkook. You’ve made sure not to think about this dildo in front of him ever. But here, it’s him recalling it to you without even knowing. 
Whatever, you can pretend that everything’s normal. With a barely natural cough, and the even more suspicious dismissive wave of the hand, you try to kill the conversation, “It was just my coworker getting on my nerves again, it’s whatever.”
Jungkook is watching you soundly. It’s nothing unusual for him. He’s the kind of persons that lean in when they listen to you, you never know how conscious they are of it but it’s like they really mean to make you feel important and heard. Therefore it shouldn’t worry you, he’s just doing his usual thing. 
It still makes you grow increasingly more nervous. 
It is factual that it is never “whatever”. The topic of your stupid dumb bitch of a coworker messing with you has always been a pressing subject you, every now and then, more often than you’d like, needed to ramble about to anyone willing to listen because she tended to make your life a pure living hell. The job sucks in itself but she made it a hundred times worse. And here you are, dismissing it. How suspicious. 
“When you texted me yesterday, I thought it was for something bad.” He starts, frowning and staring deep inside the empty cookie package sitting on the table. “Then I saw you earlier and I thought it was for something really good, because of your face.”
“What’s up with my face?” You try to play it cool. Play it nonchalant and oblivious. If you can’t see the aura of contentment he can visibly observe around you, surely you’ve seen the glow up your skin has encountered since you’ve started using this sex toy. Unexpected benefit of using it that wasn’t even listed on the box, the stress it’s relieved and the pleasure it’s given have just cleared your skin out. Unbelievable but true. And apparently, he noticed. 
“I don’t know. You look really... contented.”
“Contented?”
“Yeah...”
You shrug, looking down, at the crumbs on your side of the table, praying silently that the embarrassment you feel creeping up your face doesn’t show. “I’ve been used to you looking tired and all but you look-“ Like every single once of misery has been fucked out of your system. “Lately, you look... good.” The chosen adjective makes you tilt your head. For so many reasons, you didn’t expect to hear this one and for similar reasons, you don’t understand what he means. Without having you saying aloud anything, he gets your dubious grimace and chuckles, “Rejuvenated, actually.” Even worse.
To simplify in a few words, you used to look like an old decrepit hag and now that you’ve been thoroughly fucked -by yourself technically but still- you look rejuvenated. A word literally no one ever uses in real life.
You detest that he’s probably right. And now, embarrassment is not creeping but actually moving in, with all its stuff and luggage. Hopefully though, again, it doesn’t show on your stupid youthful face. “Are my compliments making you blush?”
Great. 
“You can’t make me blush, moron. And if you think those were compliments then-“ You give him big wide eyes of “well fuck” and of course he laughs at that. 
“Indeed, I can’t make you blush.” He has his serious, investigating type of expression again. You almost expect him to fetch a little notebook out of his pocket and start scribbling observations while asking you more questions. 
“What’s making you blush then?”
“I’m not blushing, it’s just hot.” His eyebrows jump in a rude disagreeing curve. You don’t get why. It can happen, to be hot outside, at the near end of Korea’s winter, while simultaneously having red and painful looking fingers on the verge of congelation desperately seeking warmth in your pockets. 
And maybe because it’s not the first time, he’s getting better at catching the signs, at drawing the lines in between the clues. Your caricatural post-orgasm happy face, your systematic defensiveness whenever the conversation is leading somehow to your sexuality, the blatant tell of shame on your cheeks when there’s nothing else ever that embarrass you in front of him. There’s only the common cause missing and quickly, ignoring completely your attempts at diverting the conversation on something else, a giant light bulb turns on on top of his head. It brings the light of understanding through his eyeballs who suddenly look extra bright. 
“You used it.” For a second, you consider packing up your things and just leave this fucking terrace along with the conversation. But you’re cold as fuck, the way home seems like too much torture to be going through alone.
Why are you like this?
Maybe there’s a vain hope that it will lead to some resolution. Some pleasant resolution. Maybe he won’t talk about it ever again if you just accept to have this conversation without showing the stubborn reluctance you’ve used each time. 
“Yes, I did. So what?” His grin is blinding. It’s one of the very very wide, very very bright ones. So wide it shows all his teeth and it doesn’t even look like the cute bunny smile anymore. It’s the predatory grin. It’s intimidating to solely focus on therefore you chose to pick the corner of his eyes and the top of his nose, all wrinkled up that have anything but intimidation to them. 
“You have no idea how happy that makes me.” You grimace. Indeed. You have no idea because you don’t even fucking understand. 
“You’re a weirdo.”
“I’m just happy you used my dildo.” You scoff and almost choke at both his phrasing and the way he so naturally says the word while you’re outside. There’s no one as dumb as you to sit outside with this weather but still, someone passing by could hear. 
Maybe there’s no deep further explanation to look for. Maybe it’s literally as simple as him getting you a present and him being happy that you found usefulness to it. Like most people. People are saddened sometimes pissed when they flop with presents. Maybe it’s that simple. 
“Don’t say it like that.” He cackles like a witch and you know, that once again he’s just messing with you, knowing exactly what to do or say to tickle your patience. 
“So I can gather it was good?” The worse of the nervous wave has passed. He asks quite nonchalantly. Perhaps it’s your ego wanting that but you hate the idea that you’d find yourself in a situation where he’s clearly more adult than you -even if on so many levels he is. If he can talk about it then you can. Try. You can try. 
“Hm. Was nice.” You kind of sound the way you do when as a teen your mom would ask you about your day and you just didn’t want to answer because of laziness, lack of interest, lack of willingness to share, but that will do. He nods, smiles with his lips tight, rather fondly. 
“How many times did you use it?”
Taking a deep breath, you mumble, shrugging faux casualness, “A few times.” More like a dozen times but he doesn’t need the details, does he? He nods again, still smiling, taking in your answer. 
“Cool.” And he’s satisfied. With the answer and the turns of events as it seems.
There you go, you did it.
You resolved the thing.
Now he can leave you alone with your fantasies and your -not his but your- dildo and there wouldn’t be any further occasion to bring it up. You might be a coward but it’s perfectly fine by you.
Sounds absolutely peachy.
If he chooses to play his part right.

This post is a sort of collaboration with @golden-wingseos who is kindly letting me use their toxic traits post as a base for writing some Fluff! Check 'em out! Hope you enjoy.
Warnings: Albedo might be a OOC. This is my first attempt at more serious writing. And of course you should always remember that problems in a relationship might need more than a short talk.
Edit: request are open, if anyone reading this likes it feel free to request. Rules are pinned.
Now onto my post:
_____________________
Albedo: your heart is real
_____________________________
-you knew Albedo's secret, you knew his feelings, you knew enough to know he didn't want to love you.
-yet he did.
-you also believed he shouldn't be chained to someone else's wishes, especially when it wouldn't bring him happiness.
You were sitting in Albedo's lap, your head on his shoulder as you gently played with his hair.
"I'm going to destroy monstadt you know," he said, like he always does in an attempt to push you away, "that includes the people"
"Then I'll just stop you." You reply calmly.
"Then I'll have to kill you."
"So then you won't destroy monstadt."
Albedo was confused, you usually told him you would stop him but you've never said he wouldn't do it to begin with.
Albedo grabbed your shoulders and made you look at him, "what does that mean? Why wouldn't I destroy monstadt?"
"Because you would have to kill me." You said smiling.
'That damn smile' he thought, "why would I not destroy monstadt, not fulfill my master's wish, just because you would need to die?"
"Because you love me."
Albedo pushed you off and got on top of you, holding a knife to your throat, "would someone who loved you so this?"
"Yes" you never stopped smiling at him.
"Exa-wait what?" Albedo was dumbfounded, not comprehending what you meant.
"You're trying to push me away," you grabbed his shaking hands and pushed them down, causing him to release the knife, "because you don't want to feel any remorse, because you don't want to hurt me."
"Who says-"
"And I know you don't want to destroy monstadt," you grabbed his head and brought him closer, "because you love it there."
"I'm not real, I'm just a tool my master made to carry out their dreams. Stop treating me like a person."
"But you are a person, and as a person you can choose what you want."
"Well I want monstadt destroyed!"
"Even if that meant killing me?"
Albedo was shocked, he never felt conflicted before. Not in following his master's wishes, but now? At your words? He doubted every desire he's had.
You placed his hand on his heart, "feel that?"
"That's my heart..."
"So your heart is real. Now tell me, what does a tool need with a heart?"
Albedo didn't answer.
"Your master might want to destroy monstadt, but who says they want you to? Why give a weapon a heart?"
You didn't give Albedo time to respond before you kissed him.
"Your heart is real. Just like your love for me."
Albedo sat up and pulled you back into his lap, "you're an anomaly you know that? No one else can make me feel this way." He looked into your eyes and put his hands on your cheeks, "I guess I can hold off on destroying monstadt, atleast until I conclude my research on you."
"Well, let's start experimenting."
_____________________________
Hope that didn't suck.
_____________________________
Diluc: you'll get hurt if you love me
_____________________________
-Diluc has been avoiding you for a month now, he hasn't even gone out to do his darkknight hero duties.
-he's just locked himself away in his manor, ordering his servants to not let you in.
-Diluc, however, forgets that you met because you tried stealing from his house.
You were fed up with Diluc, he kept pushing you away and now he has CROSSED THE LINE! You're going to break into his room and make him explain why he's been avoiding you, it's been a year since you and him went on a date and now this? Something is seriously wrong.
You climbed up to the window sill and lock picked your way in, you walked over to Diluc's bed and sat down, waiting for him to return.
Diluc entered the door and, without looking, fell on his bed right next to you.
"You look tired, almost like you took the long way home just to avoid the route I take."
Diluc shot up and looked at you in shock.
You crossed you arms over your chest, "I want an explanation."
"(Y/n) what do you m-"
"You know full well! And don't call me (y/n)! You always call me 'dearest' or 'honey's, in fact you do a lot of things you seem to have forgotten about, like dinners, and tea times, and DATES!"
"Please I-"
"No! No running away, no excuses!" You grabbed his shoulders and turned him to you, "why the hell are you avoiding me!?"
Diluc looked up and saw you were crying. This isn't what he wanted, this is the opposite of what he wanted!
Diluc looked away, unable to face you, "Because I want you to hate me."
Your eyes widened, "w-what?"
"I want you to leave me, in a way that won't make you sad to leave me."
"Why!?"
"BECAUSE YOU'LL GET HURT IF YOU LOVE ME!"
You jumped at him and held him close, and yourself closer, "idiot."
"What?"
"I said," you managed between sobs, "your an idiot, Diluc. I knew full well what I was doing when I fell in love with you, and I did it anyway. What-what gi-gives you the right t-to abandon me now?"
Diluc was shocked to say the least, he didn't know what to say.
"I know how dangerous being near you is, how many enemies you have, how likely I am to die, but Diluc," you look up at him with tear stained eyes, "I won't be able to live another day, not without you in it."
Diluc pulled you onto his lap and held you, enveloping as much as he could.
"(Y/n)- honey, I'm sorry," he cried in your hair, "I'm so sorry, so very very sorry. I just wanted to protect you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt because of me."
"But you did hurt me, you hurt my heart."
"I know.. but please," he tilted you head so your eyes would meet his, "let me heal it."
_____________________________
Kaeya: no more secrets
_____________________________
I wrote this perfectly but the draft didn't save. If it's bad blame my rage.
_____________________________
Another day without you.
Another day spent drinking.
Kaeya remembered that day clearly, more clearly than he wanted.
Kaeya was happily walking home to you.
He was always happy on the way home, but he was happiest when he saw your smile. Lately though you've been acting strangely, he was going to talk to you about it today.
"Honey I'm home-" he stopped, it was quiet.
You were never quiet.
He decided you were just out, so he waited.
And waited.
And wait-
"Where are you?"
Kaeya reached for his drink, but he couldn't find it.
"Eh Dilc, wers meh ferkin dernk!?"
Diluc sighed, "sober up."
Kaeya slammed his hands on the bar and grabbed Diluc by the collar, "WAH SHELD AH BEH SURBER!? WAHTS DA FEKEN PEINT IB TAY AIN ERE WID MEH!?"
Kaeya fell backwards and cried, "wad tay lev meh Dilc?"
Diluc sighed and walked around the bar to his brother, "sober up," he picked Kaeya up, "and I'll tell you."
Diluc carried Kaeya to the winery.
Next day
Kaeya woke up with a scream, "(Y/N) WAIT!"
He looked around and saw he was in an unfamiliar bedroom.
Diluc walked in with water and breakfast, "are you sober?"
Kaeya held his head, "I wish I wasn't."
"Well you'll want to be," Diluc set his brother's breakfast down on the nightstand, "I'm going to tell you how to get (y/n) back."
Kaeya jumped at his brother, knocking them both to the ground as he held the red head's throat, "WHERE ARE THEY?!"
Diluc calmly pushed Kaeya off, who was weak as hell right now, "calm down, you need you to understand why they left or they'll just leave you again."
Kaeya just laid there.
"Good. Now listen because this is something it took me a long time to realize too: communication is key to a relationship."
"What?"
"Did you ever tell (y/n) anything about your work? About your dealings in the dark? About your 'off the clock projects'?"
Kaeay didn't speak.
"I thought so. Kaeya you need to talk to them about your life, if you don't you'll just drive them away."
"BUT I ALREADY DID!" Kaeya shouted as he slammed his fist on the ground.
"True, but I can bring you to them. But you have to swear you'll tell them EVERYTHING."
Kaeya nodded.
Diluc and Kaeya took a trip to Liyue, to a remote village you were living in.
"They're in here. Remember Kaeya, no secrets."
You opened the door at Kaeya's knocking, before immediate closing it.
"Go away Kaeya."
"(Y/n) please, I want to make amends."
"How? Batting your eyelashes? A kiss on the cheek? Sex? Well? What have you come up with as a substitute to trust this time?"
"No. No substitute, no lies, none of that. I'm here to tell you the truth (y/n)."
You opened the door, "no more secrets?"
"No, darling, no more secrets."

Childe: you give me strength
_____________________________
Childe met you when you first joined the fatui, and from the first day he was smitten. You always strived to get better, never once did your lack if vision keep you from being powerful nor keep you from getting more powerful. You were his ideal person for him.
But you didn't feel like it.
You always worried, 'what if I lost? What if I can't get stronger? What if I'm weak?' Were constant thoughts going through your head. You knew Childe was greedy for power, how he wanted nothing but power, how he would do anything for it, and as far as you were aware he cut off anything that held him back.
Even you.
You pushed yourself to far everytime you trained, to the point you were getting weaker by how little time you took to recuperate. But you never realized nor did you let anyone know out fear for what Childe would do if he saw you being so insecure in yourself.
You realized you were getting weaker and weaker, and that scared you, scared you to the point you decided to take drastic measures.
You decided you would prove how strong you are.
With Childe
Childe sighed as he wrote yet another debt collection warrant, he was tired from the month long mission he just got back from and now he had to do this. He decided he would indulge himself and pamper you when he got home, after all nothing pleased him more than seeing your constantly stern face blush and smile as he showered you in gifts and affection. And while he wasn't exactly good at reading people in an emotional sense, even he could tell you were insecure about something so he wanted to talk to you about it, maybe even introduce you to his family.
He wad actually getting lost in happy thoughts when a collector ran in, "HARBINGER! I HAVE URGENT NEWS!"
Childe glared at him, "what is it, I was thinking about my snow flower!"
"IT'S ABOUT THEM SIR!"
Childe snapped the pen between his fingers and stoop, "what happened."
"Sir they-"
"WHAT HAPPENED!"
"SIR! (Y/N) HAS GONE OFF TO TRY AND SLAY A GEO REGISVINE!"
Childe immediately bolted over his desk and sped through the bank, out of the harbor, and across the country of Liyue at speeds lost would think belonged to Baal themself.
He got to the regisvine just in time to block an attack that would have killed you.
It took him mere seconds to completely demolish it.
Childe approached your crumpled form, you could barely move and your bones were probably all broken.
"Ch-chi-lde..." you got out before blacking out from pain.
Next day
You woke up, everything below your chin was in a caste and you felt about as bad as you looked.
"Let me through!" You heard the one voice you didn't want to hear right now.
"Sir please they have to r-"
"DID I FUCKING STUTTER!"
A doctor was flung through the door and Childe charges right at you.
'This is it,' you thought, closing your eyes, 'he's going to cast me away, like I always knew-'
Your thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of lips against your own, and a wet feeling against your cheeks.
You opened your eyes in time to see Childe pull away from you, "what were you thinking you idiot?"
You looked at Childe, dumbfounded.
"WHY DID YOU DO SOMETHING THAT STUPID!?"
"W-what?"
"Why did you try and kill a regisvine on your own?!"
You looked away.
"WHY (Y/N)!? WHY!?"
"Because I don't want you to leave me..."
Childe recoiled at that, what did you mean you didn't want him to leave you?
"Why in the world would I want to leave you? Your my snow flower."
"Yes but..." you didn't want to say it.
"Come on, snow flower," Childe put his fingers under your chin and gently made you meet his gaze, "you can tell me anything."
"You...you only care for power...and I could tell I was only getting weaker no matter how much I tried, I was....I was afraid....afraid you would leave me...."
"(Y/n)," Childe said lovingly, yet with obvious sadness, "please, I dont want power just for power's sake.... I'm so sorry that I seemed that way to you."
"But you always seem so...dedicated to getting power..."
"Yes, but power is simply a means to an end," Childe chuckles, "I have a family, with a lot of siblings, and I care about all of them. I do so much for them, and every bit of power: be it with more, status, or pure power they are what drives me to get it. I'll admit though that it has developed into a bit of a....addiction, I guess you could call it, to battle and by extension to getting stronger. I-I didn't realize how much I let that take over-"
"No!" You shout, "no! Don't apologize for that. That's why I love you: your drive for power, your willingness to never settle, everything you do you do for power. I don't care if it's because you like battle or you like your family, because I love it. I love you. And I don't want to hold you back, and because of that I didn't want to be so weak that you had to....dispose of me..."
Childe kneeled besides you, "(y/n). You never have to worry about holding me back. Remember what you said? Even if I do, granted in a much smaller part than I originally stated, want power to protect my family, it is also very true that I want power for nothing more than to have it. But you could never hold me back from that, in fact you give me strength, (y/n)."
You chuckled, "that's so cheesey Childe."
"Well it's true, and the only thing more true is this:" Childe leans towards you, "I. Love. You."

Smart Girl (J.JK x reader)🔞🌼☁️🎀
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jeon Jungkook x Reader
Genre: Good Girl!AU, Fluff, Angst, smut (what did you expect?)
Warnings: a bit of separation anxiety and a small panic attack sprinkled into it, but y’all know me by now, Reader is kinda lost without her Koo and emotionally a MESS (TM), sad boy Jungkook, Grumpy Jungkook, a fight between the marshmallow couple yikes, Dom/sub dynamics, Dom!Jungkook, Sub!Reader, Oral (m receiving), manhandling, mild DDLG themes, reader is a bit bratty this time and koo is having none of it, slight hair pulling, I think that’s it? Jungkoo is just the best boyfriendo ever okay
Summary: Jungkook loves how dependent you are on him. You however start to feel a bit different about it when you overhear a coworker of yours, who’s coincidentally also someone he’d slept with in the past, talking about how childish and most of all how much of a burden you are. You try to show Jungkook how independent and strong you can be on your own. And fail miserably. But luckily he's always gonna be there, won't he?
Good Girl || Sweet Girl || Smart Girl || Brave Girl
Tumblr media
You don't even know how it started. Maybe it was when you'd told Alex how Jungkook had just recently thrown your small pink plastic chair away, which you had used to reach the highest shelve in the kitchen so that you didn't have to ask him. Truth be told he'd said he didn't do it, yet his smirk afterwards told other words. He was always like this- it was as if he fed his own pride every time he helped you with even the smallest of things. Soohyeon had sighed at that, and you had simply asked what was wrong.
"What I'm saying is, Y/N sweety, maybe he just does it because you seem so lost all the time." Up until now, you and Soohyeon had gotten along quite well, considering the fact that she'd revealed to you early on when Jungkook had picked you up from your work that she and him had a bit of history- bedstories, for that matter. It did made you uncomfortable at first, but she'd reassured you that it had been a one-time-fun thing, no feelings involved. You believed her, considering that he really had been a person like that. Right now however, you began to feel a bit uneasy. "Trust me, I think he's just too soft for you to actually say it out loud." She said, and Alex scoffed.
"You're just bitter Soo, get over it or get out." She said, placing her hands on your shoulders as if to shield you from her words. You both quickly went to change after finishing your shift, however, the uneasy feeling stayed. "You okay?" Your friend asked, clearly concerned over your lack of happiness considering you had been so over the moon earlier that day when you'd explained how you were invited to a company-trip; and Jungkook had agreed to come along. You shook your head yes, but she was clearly not having it. "Look, I think she really is just bitter. Don't let it get to you, okay?" She said, and you smiled.
Tumblr media
Back home, things didn't get better though. You were suddenly on edge, Jungkooks presence around you as you started to pack your bag for the next few days felt suffocating, and you couldn't concentrate on his voice at all, even if you wanted to. This was horrible. Were her words really getting under your skin?
"Y/N?" He asked, and you looked up. "You've been staring at that pair of pants for almost ten minutes now. Do you want me to pack them in my bag? That way you don't have to lift so much-" He said, already reaching for the piece of clothing, yet you slapped his hand away. You didn't intend for it to look as harsh as it did, yet you also couldn't apologize in time. "Whoa okay, that's new." He said confused, crouching down next to you on the floor to inspect your face turned downwards. "Whats wrong?" He asked, now actually a little concerned.
You simply folded the pair of jeans, packing them into your bag instead of his like he had suggested. "Nothing, don't worry about it." You mumbled, not noticing the way his eyes started to harden a bit at your attitude. It wasn't the fact that you went against him that bothered him, but the lack of communication going on. He hated it if you didn't talk to him, something you'd promised him to keep to a minimum.
"Okay there, stop." He said, shutting your bag to keep you from continuing, not even letting you protest. "I don't like that attitude baby, you know I hate it when you don't talk to me." He said, looking at you. Normally this would be the extend of your 'bratty-tantrum' how he playfully liked to call it- but no, it seemed like this wasn't just a random outburst, because you genuinely tried to pry his hands away from your bag. He was not having it. "Stop this bullshit-" he said, but you didn't let him finish this time.
No, this time you'd gotten up, making him stand up as well. You shrunk back a bit, but whatever had set you off, it really did it this time. "Fuck off, Stop treating me like a kid Jungkook!" You said, trying to run away from this upcoming argument by leaving the room, yet he didn't leave you alone. In that moment you didn't even think really, because if you had, you would've never reacted the way you eventually did. He waited, leaned against the counter with crossed arms, making you scoff at him. "Maybe you should just stay home Jungkook." You said, leaving him in the kitchen. You were mad. And ready to sleep in your old room- which was technically your room to begin with, yet you had slept in Jungkooks bed for as long as you were together now, so it was more like a guest room at this point.
You didn't care. You needed to be alone.
Jungkook was utterly confused. There was no simpler way to put it. Maybe he really had overlooked the way he was starting to get more and more on your nerves with his constant helping and looking after you- but how could he really overlook that? Maybe he really didn't know you as much as he thought he did. After all, you two hadn't been dating for overly long at this point, and even though he has had relationships before, this was the first time he genuinely felt completely at ease with you. Didn't you feel the same way with him? Maybe Taehyung had been right, and he secretely was pushin his own likes onto you instead of openly communicating- ironic really, considering that he was always demanding to speak up whenever something was up with you. This was a mess. So thinking you truly meant what you'd said, he silently went back into his room, unpacking his bag.
  The next morning, he tried to be as normal as possible. You didn't really fight after all, did you? Yet as soon as you walked out of your room, hair already brushed and clothing chosen carefully for the 7-hour busride, the air felt tense. He suddenly felt as if he was walking on the thinnest of glass shards, and if he wasn't careful he'd prick himself and bleed out on his kitchen floor. This was worse than any mafia-movie had ever depicted a torture scene. What the hell was he supposed to do?
In the end, none of you both really spoke at all, simply silently consuming a bit of breakfast, while you checked your phone to make sure you were on time. You'd seen your pastel pink bag next to the front door, and wanted to go off again. He really expected you to leave alone now? Mad as you were, you stood up and placed your cutlery in the sink, silently grabbing your coat. "Wait, let me-" you turned around and looked at your boyfriend, wanting to cry on the spot right there. He stood like he was genuinely scared to help you with your stuff, and you, intending to not make him even more uneasy as he was, grabbed your bag, opening the front door. You pretended to not see him standing behind you, expecting at least a hug- one which you never gave him, instead shoving your way past him, leaving him at the doorstep, dumbfounded as ever.
Tumblr media
The trip wasn't as fun as you thought it would be. In the end, Soohyeon was visibly dissapointed to see that Jungkook didn't join in, which made Alex scoff at her in disgust. Now you felt even worse for letting her words get under your skin. Enjoying anything was a challenge you never wanted to accept, considering that he was supposed to be beside you, making weird remarks at the way your guide was struggling to speak in front of you and your coworkers. You felt bad.
Back home, Jungkook wasn't doing much better. He'd called up Taehyung to talk to him about the fight you both had, and immediately wanted to hang up on it as soon as he told him to just 'fuck it out'. This really wasn't an option with you. You both were so much more than just sex, but he highly doubted Taehyung would understand this.
Maybe he should give you control for now. He'd just let you choose the pace from now on, no sexual innuendo here. Yet he couldn't help but call you anyways after biting his lower lip until he faintly tasted metal on his tongue. He could call you to tell you goodnight, right? You'd like that.. right?
  The Night was even worse. You never liked loud places such as clubs, and Alex wasn't really much help either, since she had just dissapeared somewhere as soon as you all went out. You sat in the hotel bar, busying yourself with your phone because you didn't even drink at all. The more you thought about it, the more you really started to feel like a child. A lost one. So to try and at least get some good rest, you simply went up to your room, shutting the door, and throwing yourself onto your bed, your phone forgotten.
Fighting with Jungkook sucked. That much was kind of obvious to you if you were being honest, yet you never truly thought about why it sucked. It wasn't so much that you knew you were overreacting. It wasn't the fact that he was right, even though that did kind of hurt your ego a little bit- it was more the aftermath and your own stupid hardhead that made you react like you did.
You were a softie. In a sense of, emotionally very easily affected. Things other people simply didn't care about sometimes had a huge effect on you. When you had talked against your mothers advice for the first time at the age of 10, convincing her to buy a blue teddybear for you instead of a pink one made you feel horrible that night- so much so that you found yourself crying way after your bedtime, staring at the soft blue bear in your hands. Not only because you felt bad for doing something simply different than what was expected of you, but because you felt bad for the bear- as stupid as it sounded. Your mother later on talked to you, explaining that it was okay to do things how you wanted sometimes, yet even though you always held that stuffed toy dear to you (even to this day, its still sitting on your bed), your attitude towards things never truly changed. You still had a hard time coming up with the courage to really speak your mind and let things go your way, because you knew you couldn't deal with the aftermath. Just like now.
Jungkook had been right. Oh so right. Yet you couldn't text him, because for once it was actually way too late at night, which was kind of ironic considering the previous story about your childhood, but also because you didn't know what exactly you should say. 'Sorry for being bitter about being bitter?' this was stupid, and you just wanted to throw this stupid white hotel pillow against the stupid hotel wall in front of you. Instead you simply pulled your knees closer to yourself, battling with your own tears. Why did you always cry so much? This was so unfair. Why wasn't Jungkook here, why did he actually let you go on this trip alone, why didn't he stop you, why did you tell him to fuck off, why the fuck did you shove him- so many thoughts started to make the tears finally fall. This was ridiculous. You just wanted to go home. What if something horrible happened and the last thing you said to him were these words?
But had Soohyeon been so wrong? You really were a burden, weren't you? Remembering all those times you'd asked Jungkook to help you made you feel awful, a stark contrast to how these little memories used to remind you how much you loved him. Now they just made your stomach feel stale and empty. Or maybe it was the fact that you had forgotten to eat. Again.
A buzzing sound from under your sheets made you sniffle, grabbing your phone to see who the fuck would be calling you this late.
Jungkook.
You hesitantly picked up.
And before he could even finish his 'Hey doll', you started to sob. Why was he so unfair? And why were you so upset about it?
"Whoa Angel, what's wrong?" He cooed over the phone, and you knew he just wanted to help, but the way he talked to you just fueled your inner thoughts even more. It was like trying to put out a fire by throwing a cardboard box on it- it just made everything worse. And you could physically feel it too- the way your fingers started to tingle, then curl into fists, the way your ears began to sound fuzzy and your head started to spin. You faintly heard Jungkooks frantic voice, counting. Counting? "One.. two.. three.. and out. Thats it baby, breathe." He said softly, and you could slowly feel your fingers again, sniffling softly and rubbing your eyes- before instantly regretting it when you saw your mascare on the back of your hand, smeared like the words of your first essay in school when you'd accidentally wiped across the ink that wasn't dry yet. "Talk to me baby."
His voice was like velvet over the phone, and you wanted to cry again. You had to swallow several times, searching for your voice before you spoke. "I'm sorry." You said, and before you could continue, your own sobs thought it would be nice to choke you up again. Now you just cried out of frustration, and it pained Jungkook way deeper than he liked to admit. This was horrible for him, the way he could clearly hear your painful whimpers, he just knew you were getting a headache already- and he couldn't do anything from this far away. He could only wait for you to continue. "You- I was so mean to you and so so dumb and I didn't mean it, I promise." You said tearfully. "I love how you drive me to work sometimes, how you get me things from the upper shelves in the kitchen, how- how you help me carry the groceries, a-and how you help with- with reminding me to eat, and how you tried to help me with my car even though you had no clue what to do and-" You said, and he hushed you again, noticing how you got riled up again. "I feel so bad 'Koo, I didn't even hug you goodbye when you stood behind me and I even pushed you and I didn't answer your texts and I really wanted you to come here too cause everyone's just drinking and I hate that, and there's this weird arcade place close by and you always told me how I suck at video games so I wanted you to show off there again even though I always tell you I hate it and-" You said, and he laughed.
"Baby stop, breathe." He said, grinning so hard his cheeks started to hurt. He always told everyone how soft you were, yet no one believed him when he said it. Taehyung always said you probably held the reigns in the bedroom, yet how could you ever? He just wanted to shelter you from the entire world, your soul way too gentle and fragile to be placed in such a rough environment in his opinion. He'd started to google the fastest route to your hotel, internally sighing when he saw the 6-hour mark on the quickest way. He didn't care however. "It's alright angel. First of all, you're not dumb." He said, sending the route to his phone while getting up to grab some clothes and his bag. "You're the smartest girl I've ever met okay, and nothing will change that." Not really caring what exactly he grabbed, he made sure to get an extra sweater for you to put on, knowing how you didn't pack any of his in your anger. "Second of all, why were you even mad in the first place baby? I really don't get it. If you want me to take care of you the way I did, why did it set you off yesterday?" He asked, genuinely confused.
You bit your lip, curled up on the way too large double bed which had been booked since Jungkook was technically supposed to be here. "Soohyeon said-" you began, but he groaned loudly at that, making you pout.
"Soohyeon? I really should've known. That woman really can't take rejection can she?" He said, his mood rotting the more he thought about her. "I don't think I wanna know what she said. Look baby, whatever she said, it's bullcrap okay?" Zipping up his bag quietly to not raise suspicion on your side, he sat back down on the corner of the bed. "I love you, alright princess? I'd tattoo that onto my forehead if I could keep my job after that." He said, and you giggled at that, making him visibly deflate. Thank god. "I love that sound too. Now go wash your face and drink some water so that your headache won't be so bad in the morning, alright?" He said, and you nodded, before internally cringing and answering him verbally. "Good. Now sleep baby, we'll talk tomorrow, alright? Love you." He said. And you immediately said it back, rushing into the bathroom after ending the call.
Tumblr media
The next day started with a message on your phone, reminding you to drink lots of water to conquer your headache, and you smiled this time. When you met up with Alex for breakfast in the Hotel Lobby, she had greeted you with a hug, yet she also asked what was wrong, and why you'd left so suddenly last night. You explained to her what happened, leaving a few smaller details out that would be embarrassing down the line, like your slight panic attack over the phone simply because you remembered how you didn't hug him goodbye. That was your secret to keep.
She'd helped you with carrying your plate, when suddenly someone took it from her with a thanks, and your eyes widened when a hand was placed on the small of your back, the warmth of it slowly seeping through your shirt. You should be terrified but at least a bit uneasy, yet it was the smell that suddenly hung in the air that made your eyes almost water. Not because it was too present like your mom's perfume every time you went out to dinner as a family, but because you knew this- because Jungkook hated strong smells, and always washed his clothes with a specific fabric softener. But- how?
"Surprise?" He said, looking over your shoulder with his sugary sweet bunny smile, and you hugged him, careful of the plate he held in his hand. He simply laughed, already feeling way better than back home. Because even if he didn't outright say it, even just a day apart, especially when you both have had an argument before, had been hell for him. He was concerned for you whenever he couldn't be close to you, not because he thought you weren't capable, but because he thought why should you deal with things he could deal with way easier? When it came down to it, he was sure that you could stand up for yourself- you weren't a child before, as much as you may thought you were in his eyes. It was tricky, to say the least.
Soohyeon's eyes widened at the view of Jungkook walking into the hotel restaurant for breakfast, yours and his plate in his hands while looking for a table you could both sit at. It wasn't so much so that she was jealous, not really, because the dynamic you both had was nothing she wanted in a relationship- yet she couldn't help but feel a bit upset over the fact that he had gotten into a relationship with you. Technically, you were absolutely not his type, but what did she know?
Jungkook chuckled as he sat down with you next to a window, knowing even though you didn't outright say it that you liked this particular seat. He could spot Soohyeon in the corner of his eye, and wanted to laugh a bit, yet decided not to, simply as to not embarass you. You smiled, happy that he was there, and that was all that counted. "So, about that arcade place-" He started, and you groaned a bit, making him laugh. "Hey, come on, let me tease you a bit baby. You were the one leaving me cold like that, remember?" He said, and regretted it as soon as those words left him when he saw you visibly deflate. "Hey- sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Let's not talk about that right now, okay?" He said, and you nodded, shoving another piece of toast between your teeth.
Tumblr media
Suddenly that trip didn't feel so boring after all. Having Jungkook at your side made almost everything way better- and funnier. You felt more freedom now, knowing that you had someone at your side who would have your back if you did something bold. It was like Jungkook's presence gave you a sudden boost in confidence, Alex smiling every time you made a sassy comment, being a stark contrast to how you'd acted before. But that was just the effect he had on you.
You both later on ditched the rest of the group and decided to go back to the hotel room- simply because you insisted, even though Jungkook himself told you over and over again that he wasn't tired, sometimes even being interrupted by a yawn as if his body was trying to tell you how big of a lie his words were. You didn't mind at all that he needed a bit of rest, you loved sleep after all, and it was even better when you could sleep in the arms of a loved one like him. He immediately fell onto the bed, sighing in relief and you laughed at that, putting down your handbag before going into the bathroom to take off your makeup. It was still mid-day, but you honestly didn't feel like wearing anything anymore, rather happily grabbing your makeup-wipes and cleaning your face. Jungkook came into the bathroom, smiling as he took in your now clean face. "I love it when you don't wear makeup." He said, wrapping his hands around your middle and placing a kiss on your cheek. Ever since your little 'moment' a week ago, he'd been way more generous with his kisses around you. It seemed like he'd officially broken down an internal wall, like he learned something new and had to experience it over and over to really get the hang of it. And you loved it.
Back on the bed, you had your phone in hand, randomly checking your twitter feed for anything interesting, when Jungkook finally emerged from the bathroom, having insisted on taking a very long hot shower because 'look, I payed for this shit so I'm gonna use it'. You'd laughed at that and the fact that he insisted on having you shower with him, yet eventually giving up after you'd explained to him that that's dangerous, that you could slip and hurt yourself because you just knew he wouldn't be able to keep his hands to himself- that thought alone made him shut up, if a bit pouty. He had a towel wrapped around his lower parts, but the view of his bare upper body wasn't something unusual. He had a habit of normally sleeping without a shirt, and generally walking around the apartment without one on a day off for that matter. You didn't really knew why exactly he did that, but hey, you weren't complaining at all. He suddenly laid down on top of you in a teasing way, his arms resting next to your elbows keeping your upper body up since you were laying on your stomach. Of course he didn't let himself fall down, knowing he would probably crush you under his weight, but he also knew that you loved being this close to him, even if you sometimes made pouty remarks on how he was bullying you for being small. "what'cha doing?" He said, placing his chin on top of your head, trying to catch a glimpse of your phonescreen while you scrolled down. He became increasingly more touchy, suddenly running his fingers over your arms, moving his head to rest on your shoulder, before he eventually started to softly kiss the side of your neck. You had to admit it was hard resisting, but you liked to test his patience once in a while. "Yah, pay attention to me.." He whined, playfully biting the skin just above your collarbone, making you squeak, and him laugh darkly. Today, it seemed like he wasn't really up for playing. Because once he saw that you still refused to give into his advances, he eventually placed his way larger hand over yours, pressing the lock button on your phone before taking it from you.
"Hey!" You said, turning around and sitting criss-crossed while watching him place your phone on the bedside table, even making sure to connect the charger before turning around to face you again. His hair was still damp, his skin soft and still a little red on some parts where the water had heated him up. Even though his eyes held something mischievous and impish in them, you noticed just how young and fierce he looked; it made you remember just how much of an untamed person he really was. While you were someone attached to him like a newly grown limp, he was free to go wherever he wanted. Maybe he was just as uncaring then? Would he really slow down himself in order to make you catch up to him? Maybe he would. He'd shown you again and again just how gentle he actually could be, yet he also never backed down from a challenge with anyone. You really weren't as competitive as him, yet his nature had started to really colour your soul as well, making you bolder whenever he was around. Turning back time to the beginning of your relationship, you would've never seen you being so open with him like you were now. "You aren't even wearing clothes, gimme my phone back 'koo-" You started, but he'd seen through you already.
He smiled and crawled up to you, his towel getting caught under his knee during his movements making it eventually just lay on the matress underneath his legs as he towered over you, this time your body laying on its back underneath him and his gaze. You blushed chrimson, trying hard not to look down at all, and it made him laugh. "Oh baby, I don't plan on sleeping right now." He said, hands grabbing your wrists and putting them over your head. "And I don't need clothes either for what I'm about to do." He whispered, turning his head to the side and watching your face for a minute before chuckling. "Seriously doll? You've seen it all more than once by now, how are you still shy?" Moving his hands to run over your form, he stopped for a second, face serious. "Do you want to? We don't have to right now." He said, and you shook your head at that. You'd missed him. You wanted him too.
Moving to throw your shirt over your head, he instantly leaned in for a kiss, the newfound sensation now one of his favorite feelings with you. Back then kissing had been somewhat of a taboo for him; not because he didn't like it, but because he'd always been a hopeless romantic deep down, promising himself that he would keep a signature offering just as kissing for his actual lover, not just anyone he'd screw. It was such a meaningful gesture to him that he could not bring himself to kiss anyone other than you- but he'd never tell you that. That was embarassing. Your soft mewls eventually brought his thoughts back to you, moving his hands and lips away from where they had been to new destinations. Your lavender colored shorts had to go as well as your white lacy bra- and he smiled at the fact that this time was a rare occurance where you didn't match up your underwear. He thought about teasing you about it, but eventually decided against it, feeling way too needy for your taste and touch at this point. Suddenly however, you spoke up.
"Ngh, wait-" You said, and he immediately stopped what he was doing, eyes searching yours for any explanation. A blush covered your face and heaving chest, a view he would describe as heavenly if it wasn't for the slight concern that made its way through his brain. I wanna, uhm.." You started, but went into panic mode. How where you supposed to ask him that? You'd been so bold before with pleasuring him with your hands, yet you wanted to go even further- however, you never even saw so much as porn of it before, clicking away as soon as you thought you could watch it. Maybe it was really childish, but this was something you wanted to try, your curiousness getting the best of you at this point, but you also didn't know how to express that properly. Maybe he didn't even like those things, maybe he would be against it, and then the moment would be ruined and the night would become awkward as hell. His hand was placed on your chin, his thumb gently pulling your lower lip out from your teeth to stop your biting. This was your Jungkookie for god's sake, he would never laugh at you for this! (He actually would, just a little bit, but that was besides the point.) "I uhm.." you started again, before closing your eyes and taking a deep breath. "I wanna go down on you too." You rushed, and waited for his response. Which did take a bit.
His eyes were wide open, and for a moment he looked just like the phrase always said, 'like a deer caught in the headlights'. You wanted to... what? It wasn't like he was against it or complaining, hell fucking no, but when did you even get that idea? It was always a little confusing to him how you could be so angelic, yet so mature at the same time. Suddenly his mind started to go nuts, visions of you on your knees in front of him, eyes so innocent staring up at him while he had his length placed inside your mouth- good lord. "Are you.. sure? You don't have to, you know-" He started but you cut him off.
"I'm sure, I just-" You said, playing with your fingers out of habit. "You would need to, you know, tell me how.." Jungkook almost growled at that. Of course that was your first time; and the fact that you trusted him so much as to ask him for this made his pride swell up- well, not only that, but right now he had other priorities. He gently traced your cheek, before moving to get a pillow from the bed, placing it on the floor at the corner.
"Alright baby." He said, and you nervously went down to kneel on the pillow, thankful that he didn't make you place your knees on the hardwood floor. But then again, he'd never do anything to hurt you whatsoever, so it wasn't too surprising. Somehow, even though you'd seen it countless of times you still avoided eye contact with his hard on, making him smile a bit. Your nervousness was quite endearing to him if he was honest, yet he would never voice that out loud. Instead, he slowly took your hands, placing them just underneath his navel, before he ran a hand through your hair, brushing it out of your field of vision for you. "Take your time pretty girl, just do what you think feels right." He said, voice low but steady. "I'll lead you on the way. Just relax." He spoke, hands never stopping his gentle reassurance. Even though you felt like you would never be ready, you slowly started to move your hands. At first you placed them on the inside of his thighs, getting a feel of it, before moving them to his hipbones and leaving them there. You slowly breathed to calm your own nerves before you placed a kiss on the side of him, making him breath out a bit heavier. Easing into it, you eventually took the tip inside your mouth, bitter and salty tastes combining in your mouth from the taste of his skin and slight precum. It wasn't unpleasant though, so you didn't shy away.
As soon as you started to suck just a little, his head fell back. His breathing was a bit shaky you noticed, and when you took a little more of him in, you noticed how the muscles of his stomach tightened. "Just like that-" He breathed out, getting interrupted when you swallowed around him a little as to not drool all over the place. You moved backwards to let him pop out before taking him in again, soft lips leaving a heavenly feeling behind. He looked at you with admiration, and if his mind had been trying to display an image of what you maybe looked like in this situation, nothing could've prepared him for the view he actually got. Second after second you got more comfortable in what you were doing, but it was when your eyes innocently looked up at him while your head turned a little to the side, hair bruhing his thigh, that he broke. A grunt was leaving his lips as you reached for his hand, intertwining your fingers in his. The way how you made something so filthy feel so romantic made him a little jealous- you always did things like this so effortlessly, while he struggled with writing a fucking birthday card the right way without making it sound over the top or cheesy. "God- yes-" He choked out, before you placed your free hand around the rest of him that wouldn't fit into your mouth, moaning a bit yourself around him. "I don't even have to- fuck- teach you anything-" he said, chuckling a bit under his breath, chest heaving and dusted in a mild watermelon shade, sweat starting to glisten on his skin. "you're such a smart girl, ah- you're my good girl, so so good, fuck-" He said, thighs suddenly trembling. His hand found its way into your hair, his grip tightening a bit without being too rough. "Baby I'm gonna cum, princess, stop I'm- ah-!“ He said, but you almost cockily didn't stop, instead swallowing again around him, before you could feel his cum heavy on your tongue as he actually whimpered out a moan. Your nose scrunched up a bit at the taste yet you swallowed it down, and he fell backwards, taking a deep breath. You moved to stand up, legs a bit sore from your position, laying down on your stomach next to him, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand. "You really are something else dollface." He said, his hand placing itself behind your ear before he pulled you closer, kissing you deeply. He didn't mind the slighty weird taste of his own release on your tongue one bit.
The way you could rile him up in a matter of seconds was witchcraft, he was sure of it, yet he didn't mind being cursed if it was you putting a spell on him. It didn't matter as long as he could be like this with you forever at this point. Was this what love actually was? His kisses were deep, rushed, as if he was running out of time again, but that was who he was. Jungkook was an impatient man, only slowly learning to take a break or stop and stare for a second. He'd been a selfish and hurried being before he'd eventually met you, nowadays starting to make time for things instead of squeezing his happiness in between seemingly important tasks during his day. Moments like these however made him fall back into his old steps, yet you didn't mind at all. This was just who he was, and you loved him either way. His hand travelled lower, eventually finding your folds, slipping between them with ease, your juices making every motion glide softly as ever. Putting pressure on your pulsing nub you mewled into his mouth, back arching off the matress and chest pushing against his, your hands grabbing the sheets in small fists before loosening up, just to grab them again. You gasped when he eventually let your lips go, instead playfully biting and sucking on the skin of your shoulder down to your collarbone, making sure to leave his marks on his way. His fingers eventually slipped inside you, curling up to have you moving to a beat only you both could feel. He took them out of you after a bit of making sure you were ready for him, impatiently pumping his length to get himself ready as well, before he grabbed his travelbag, opening it hurriedly and grabbing a familiar foil package. Ripping it open with slightly shaking hands, he rolled it over his sensitive tip, making sure it was properly placed before he joined you again on the now dishelved hotel bed. The first push made you both groan out, before you had moved your legs, heels placing themselves just above his behind, trying to keep him close to you. He sighed, swallowing between breaths, sweat now making his skin glow as the sun slowly peaked out beneath the clouds again, shining through the window, blinds drawing patterns of glowing stripes on your skin wherever it could reach you two. He whished he could take a picture right now, the entire scenery so sappy and aesthetic to him that he couldn't help but plead that he would never forget this view. He groaned when you started to clench around him. "Ugh, you're so good to me princess.." He pressed out between grunts. His pace picked up again, the sound of skin against skin ever so present in the room. "Such a good- good girl for me, yeah?" He said, and smiled when you nodded at him, hands grabbing at his biceps, holding onto him for dear life. Your orgasm came sudden, so sudden that it made you yelp a bit, an in your ears way too loud moan escaping- while it sounded like music to Jungkook himself as he released inside the condom inside you, body shaking as he slowly pulled out making you whine at him cutely.
You both laid beside each other, Jungkook putting the sheets over your body, knowing how easily you got cold afterwards. He curled up behind you after getting rid of his condom, pulling you as close to him as possible, sun slowly glowing warmer and warmer, before you both fell asleep.
Tumblr media
"hey." Something touched the tip of your nose. You scrunched it up, groaning before pulling the sheets higher to cover your face. "No no, baby." The voice of your boyfriend was evident, sleep lacing it a little but he seemed to be awake. "If you sleep any longer you'll get a headache princess." He said, and you turned around again to face him, hating how he was right. "There you are. Good morning." He said, smile ever so present on his features. You remembered briefly getting up late at night and showering after Jungkook helped you with it, before falling asleep again. Now it was almost 11 in the morning, and you were surprised how long you'd slept. "We missed breakfast, but I wanted to take you out for some fast food anyways." He said, sitting up and making you smile impishly.
"Chicken Nuggets for breakfast?" You asked a bit timidly, and he chuckled.
"Only because you gave me head yesterday." He bluntly said, and you hid yourself again.
He really was the worst boyfriend ever. And the best.
Tumblr media
"I still can't believe how that was your first time doing that."
"Please stop talking about it-"
"Oh I will. If I can get another one tonight?"
"Shut up 'Koo."
"Oh you love me!"
Yes. Yes you did.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for reading, and again, don't hesitate to send in asks for 'koo or the MC to answer! Much love, Bonny <3

The One Where Pro-hero!Katsuki Bakugo's Son, Finds Santa Kissing His Mother. Alternatively, The One Where Katsuki's Son Demands His Father Beat Up Santa Claus On Christmas.
Requested By: Wattpad User
Edited: 12-25-2020
Tumblr media
Katsuki quietly hummed to himself as he worked inside the kitchen prepping breakfast. He had some pancakes and sausage on the stovetop, whereas he kept the bacon cooking inside the oven. He had one arm on [Daughter Name], keeping her attached to his hip as he bounced her and flipped food with his other hand. She was only two and still being young she clung to her father for attention, with it being one of his rare days off for the holidays he wasn't going to say no, he was going to devote it to her and his son.
"Bud, can you toast the bagels for me?"
Katsuki briefly moved his attention from the stove to pull the bag of bagels out of the bread cabinet and tossed them onto the counter. Usually, he'd had done it himself but with his daughter on his hip, cooking was already proving to be difficult. His son rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"I like it better when mom cooks. She never makes me do stuff."
"Hey! You should gladly offer yourself up to help her when I'm not around. Your mother is a Saint, that's why she's sleeping in and you're stuck with me. Now toast the f– toast the bagels."
[Son Name] untied the bag and pulled the bagels out begrudgingly. He was defiantly a momma's boy and loved to give Katsuki lip, undoubtedly universal karma for Katsuki being such a demon to his own mother. Katsuki had to smile to himself as he put food on platters and placed it on the table as well as placing his daughter in her height chair before leaving to wake you up for breakfast.
Katsuki never thought this would become his life. He never thought he'd have a son, his own carbon copy of himself, nor did he imagine he'd follow up with baby number two attached to his hip whenever he wasn't out heroing. Beyond that, he never imagined he'd find someone like you, someone who put up with his crap, someone perfect. He never imagined such a picture-perfect domestic life for himself, one where he cooked, fed the children and owned a cat. One where he had a scheduled date night every week and brought flowers home every other Sunday. He wouldn't ever dare change it.
"Baby?"
Katsuki quietly closed the door behind him and walked over to the window so he could open up the curtains and let light in. You groaned and pulled the pillow over your head as the light made contact with you. You pulled the blanket closer to your body, and a smile tugged at Katsuki's lips. He loved moments like this.
"Sweetheart, it's time to wake up."
"No, you're mean. A big meanie."
Katsuki climbed into the bed and cuddled up next to you. He pulled the pillow off of your head and threw it onto the ground on his side so you couldn't reach back for it. You had major bedhead, and he loved that. Years ago you would've forbidden him from seeing you like that, now he found it hot.
"It's Christmas Eve, you need to get up."
"No, leave me alone. It's my day off, go wake the kids up."
"Already awake, and breakfast is on the table. We wanted to let you sleep in, give you a break for once."
Katsuki pushed your hair out of your face and tried to pull the blanket out of your grip as you fought back a smile. He thought he was being really smooth.
"For being a pro-hero you're such a liar. You don't want me to have a break, you were trying to butter me up so we can repeat what we did last night."
"You were the one who was all over Santa last night, don't blame me if I try to get the use out of the Santa suit before I have to give it back to the company."
He was referring to the Santa costume he came home wearing last night. Everyone at his hero agency had to dress up as Santa and do some charity work for a variety of different places such as churches and hospitals. He came straight home afterward and you put it to good use.
"Mm, I don't need Santa when I have you, I guess."
"Geez, aren't you romantic."
"Just let me put some clothes on and I will be right down."
You rolled off the bed and scampered off to your laundry basket to see if you could find some pajamas to clothe your naked body. Katsuki ripped his eyes away from your back, ripped his eyes away from the marks he gave you passionately. He climbed off of the bed and made his way back downstairs to the breakfast table but he passed [Son Name] in the kitchen putting bagels in a toaster.
"Dad, can I talk to you? Man to man."
"What's up, little man?"
"Last night... Last night I saw mommy and Santa kissing."
Katsuki tried to laugh it off as he pulled the orange juice from the fridge and placed it on the table, your son following him hot on his tail as he went.
"Santa only comes on Christmas."
"That's what I thought, but mom said Santa comes before Christmas sometimes to make sure our trees are working, like in 'The Grinch' but for real, and mommy would never lie to me."
"I'm sure it's not what it looked like, Alright? Your mother loves us both very much and she wouldn't do that to us."
It was exactly what it looked like but it wasn't Santa, it was himself in the Santa suit. Katsuki was grasping at straws, trying to explains this to his son and make it look innocent, trying to make you look good without exposing the secret.
"I know mommy wouldn't do that to us! What I really wanted to talk about was how Santa was really mean. He took her into her bedroom and said some really mean things. He yelled stuff at her like 'that's my pussy' and 'give me a baby'. If he wants a cat so bad can't the elves just give him one, I like our cat."
This progressively kept getting worse, and Katsuki was glad that you were still upstairs. Had you heard their conversation you surely would've killed Katsuki.
"Daddy, you need to stop Santa before he tries to steal our cat, I love Gigi! What if he tries taking [Daughter Name], he said he wanted a baby. Or worse, what if he tries stealing mommy from you. You-you need to beat him up when he comes tonight. You need to set Santa straight."
There were so many things Katsuki could've said or done to de-escalate this. He could kindly explain he was in a Santa suit for charity work. He could have lied and said he and you were arguing about getting another cat. He could have been honest and said you both were talking about having another child, but he didn't. [Son name] was begging him with forming tears in his eyes. He was crying out and calling him daddy. He was such a momma's boy, Katsuki hadn't had his son need or want him like this in such a long time. It felt nice, it felt good, so all Katsuki did was nod and agree with his son.
"They don't call me DynaMight for nothing. I'll blow him into next week. Santa won't think about stealing anyone of our family members ever again."
[Son Name] wrapped his arms around Katsuki and he smiled. He tightly grabbed his father, and let his tears fall into Katsuki's shirt as he mumbled out thank you's.
"I can't wait to see you beat up Santa."
In hindsight, Katsuki should've expected that one. How was he supposed to beat up Santa when he was Santa in the first place. Suddenly a horrible idea crossed Katsukis head. It is despicable, and mean. You would've frowned upon it and discouraged it. Once his son let go of him and walked off to sit at the breakfast table, Katsuki walked down the hall to make a phone call to his coworker.
"Key, Kaminari– What do you mean I only call you when I need something?! I'm a good friend you du– Look, do you still have your Santa suit? Come to my house tonight at eleven, in your suit. I promise it's for a good cause."
Tumblr media
The clock was slowly ticking away. Every second chasing down the hour and Christmas Eve was well on it's way to becoming Christmas. Supper had finished up, Katsuki even cleared the table and helped you do the dishes. He had cooked, and it was a mutual unspoken agreement between you both that whoever cooked dinner did not have to clean it up after. He didn't even try to sprinkle you with water, he was just sweet and soft for the evening.
"Thanks, Katsuki, you're being so sweet today. Let me sleep in, made breakfast and you helped me clean? God, you're such a keeper."
You threw your drying towel onto the now cleared and clean counter before you made your way to the living room to find some Christmas movie on the tv that was age-appropriate for your children. Katsuki was being sweet, too sweet and it made you suspicious. He was pulling out all the cards and tricks he typically pulls out when you get angry that he'd forgotten something, or came home too late.
After you got settled down on the couch with [Son Name] nestled between your legs on the floor and [Daughter name] cuddling into your right side. Katsuki came over and sat a tray of hot cocoa on the coffee table in front of the couch. Katsuki took a seat at your left side and passed you a mug before wrapping his arm around you and pulling you close. You hummed while you sipped from the mug and carefully watched as Katsuki skimmed through the tv channels and put on 'Santa Claus', the one starring Tim Allen, for the kids and you.
He hated that movie. He claimed it was to overwatched. After being put on year after year he wanted a new Christmas movie.
"What did you do?"
"What do you mean?"
Katsuki was taken back by your words. He didn't do anything, at least not yet. He was planning to roast your best friend, but Denki didn't even know it was happening and the only one who could snitch was his son who didn't know it would be Denki.
"You let me sleep in, you made breakfast, you bathed the kids and uhm, me. You cooked and helped clean dinner, now you've brought me cocoa and now you're putting on a movie you hate. So, what did you do?"
To be fair, some of those things Katsuki had planned out into motion before he had even planned to blast Denki into next Tuesday.
"I just wanna cherish you. You're my wife, let me love you."
Katsuki pulled you even closer to his side, nearly making the cocoa in your hands tip over as he placed a tender kiss onto the tip of your head.
"You forgot to get me a present didn't you?"
Your eyes narrowed at Katsuki before he dipped his head own to your ear and whispered hotly.
"I did not forget, you're getting a great present tomorrow morning, and maybe I'll even give you one tonight."
"I'm watching you."
The minutes slid by as you watched the movie together as a family. Everyone once and awhile you give Katsuki a look out of the side of your eye, carefully inspecting him. Soon your son was nodding off at your legs and your daughter was sound asleep in your lap.
"Time for bed."
Your son jumped up, seemingly having excitement from out of nowhere. You carefully picked up your daughter and carried her in your arms as you stood up to carry her to bed. One down, one to go.
"Go brush your teeth and put on your pajamas for mommy, okay? I'll be right there to tuck you in."
Your words were rushed and whispered as to not wake your sleeping daughter, but your son frowned and grabbed Katsuki's hand.
"I want daddy to tuck me in tonight."
"Mm, you sure? I'd love to read you a bedtime story."
"I want dad."
You adjusted your daughter on your arms to help even out the weight as you stared down your son and husband.
"If you're both not in bed within half an hour I will take away a Christmas gift."
You walked off upstairs, still suspicious of the males in your family. No way did your son, the momma's boy, just reject your offer. Now you were positive Katsuki was up to something.
Katsuki waited until you were upstairs to text Denki. He was outside, waiting to make noise under the pretense that his son wanted to meet Santa. Denki could be heard outside, doing goodness knows what.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah! I bet it's Santa, are you gonna beat him up dad, are you gonna show him who's boss!?"
Katsuki rolled his sleeves up and looked back at the stairs, just to be sure you were upstairs and not watching them.
"You can bet your butt I am! Your dads the greatest, watch me go kick Santa's butt."
Katsuki marched to the front door and swung it open before making his way to Denki. He walked the way he did on patrol, the way he did when he was on TV, like a man on a mission, a man with a purpose.
"Ho-Ho-Ho!–"
"Ho-Ho-Ho yourself! Heard you wanted to break apart my family, Santa."
Katsuki aimed one of his blasts at Denki. It wasn't large enough to harm him, but it was large enough to hurt.
"Katsuki, what the fuck dude?"
"That was for being mean to my wife and trying to take away our cat."
Katsuki marched closer to Denki and kicked him in the leg, grinning as he heard Denki groan in pain.
"That was for swearing in front of my kid. If I can't do it, neither can you."
"I'm sorry, Jesus Christ."
Katsuki left Denki on the floor as he walked over to the front door and picked his son up. His son clutched on to him tightly, happy his father saved the family. Happy his father wouldn't let Santa take his cat or mother away.
"Thanks, Dad, you're my hero."
"Well, I am the best hero. I'd fight Santa for you any day, just don't tell your mom."
Even though Denki snitched to you the next day, even though you had watched the altercation through the window, you didn't say a word to Katsuki. You didn't reprimand him, or get upset that he hurt Denki. Instead, you watched fondly with a smile from the window. That was the father of your children, your hero, and the guy who held your heart. He was soft and sweet and held the bar for fathers high. He deserved a pass for this one.

any chance you could do something fluffy cuddly with sam from the winx club? maybe something about waking up and making breakfast, just something sweet. if not it's okay! hope you're doing well! <3
It went in a little different direction, but it's still all fluff and sweet things 🥰
Tumblr media
You'd forgotten how much you hate starting at a new school. Being the newbie made it that much harder to connect with anyone because everyone already did that last year. Which leaves you standing to the side pondering who looks nice enough for you to start up a conversation.
"You lost?" You spin around only to see probably the cutest guy you've ever seen stand there. He offers you this ridiculously charming half-smile that you just know must have the people swooning.
"I'm trying to find Mr. Silva's office but I have no idea which direction to go in."
"Specialist, huh?" he smirks as he walks past you, "follow me." He turns around so many corners that you completely lose any sense of direction, but he seems to know where he's going, which is good enough for you.
"I'm Sam by the way. Earth fairy," he informs you as you make your way through the wall of students trying to get from one class to the next.
"I'm Y/N. I just transferred here," you say trying desperately to keep up with him. No way an earth fairy will outrun a specialist.
"I figured when I saw your lost puppy eyes," he teases.
"They were not lost puppy eyes!" you argue but you can just tell that he doesn't believe you. When he finally does stop walking, you feel like you've run a marathon. He points to a door and says: "That concludes the tour. Please keep in mind that tips were not included in the original price and would be much appreciated."
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind." You maintain eye contact a little too long for it to be just innocent before you enter the office and leaving Sam standing on the other side of the door feeling slightly smitten already.
"Mr. Silva..." You get the whole walkthrough from Mr. Silva, but you find yourself thinking back to Sam all day. At dinner time, you still can't get him out of your head. Seeing him with another girl, however, breaks the illusion of your encounter ever going further. You're silly to have thought it meant anything more to him than just a way to get out of class, but you just can't get over how convincing he was this morning.
"Y/N, come sit!" he calls but you pretend not to hear him. He's just a distraction, and you can't have any of those while being here. You opt for eating outside away from the rest of the students. You never anticipated just how alone you'd feel standing in a crowded room.
"Are you okay?" You take a deep breath wondering if you might turn invisible if you just sit still long enough. Of course, that's not entirely how physics work.
"I'm fine. I just needed some air." He sits down next to you showing his hands down the pockets of his jacket.
"You decided to sit outside when it's 45 degrees out?" He shivers slightly but you feel fine. Your dad used to make you camp outside in weather worse than this.
"I don't mind the cold," you just say trying to shake off the feeling of betrayal. He doesn't owe you anything yet you still feel hurt to see him with his girlfriend.
"But if you're so bothered, you're welcome to go back inside. I'm sure your girlfriend is waiting for you." You try to keep the bitterness to a minimum. You've known the boy for less than 24 hours but somehow, you just felt drawn to him.
"My girlfriend?" he asks confused.
"The girl sitting next to you in there. You guys seemed awfully cozy." For some reason, he starts laughing.
"Oh, Y/N..." He has to stop talking because he's laughing so much and it's getting on your nerves.
"What?" you ask.
"That girl in there is my sister Terra. I don't have a girlfriend," he says between fits of laughter. You instantly blush, feeling stupid for jumping to conclusions.
"Do you honestly think I would've flirted with you this morning if I was already spoken for?" he asks once he's calmed down. He's still smiling though and this time you find it endearing.
"So, you were flirting with me?" You're still trying to recover from the embarrassment of thinking his sister was his girlfriend.
"Of course I was! And I'd very much like to continue doing it if you're good with that," he says reaching to pull you in. You feel a shiver go down your spine and it has nothing to do with the cold weather.
"I'm good with that."

Californian Dream (Pt. 08 of 11)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Billy Hargrove X Reader
Word count: 2.9 K
Summary: Being part of one of the richest families of California doesn't mean you're happy. Your life is boring, and you're surrounded by meaningless people and their meaningless talk. Even during Summer, with the break you have from college, there's nothing good going on. Nothing but the new pool guy, Billy, the most handsome man you ever saw. You were successfully avoiding him, not wanting to act like an idiot in front of the guy until Billy accepts to be your date for a fancy gala you're forced to attend. The night was going well, even better when he sneaked you out to go to the beach. But a gang of criminals breaks into the party, kidnapping the heirs to the wealthiest families, which includes you. So, for your safety, your parents want you to stay with Billy, living in his apartment until the criminals are caught. And that could take weeks, maybe even months.
Warnings: Light violence

Decisions
A low knock on the door wakes you up. Your cheeks are stained by dry tears, and your head hurts. It takes a while for you to even process who's knocking, but you don't want to talk to him. “Go away.”
“(Y/N), I'm sorry, alright? I shouldn't have said those things, I didn't mean any of that.” He sounds defeated, tired, sad. It's hard to hear him through the door, but still, the last thing you want is to look at him right now.
“You made everything crystal clear, Billy.” You mumble, pulling a second blanket over your body. “Don't worry, I'll be leaving tomorrow.”
“(Y/N), please, I...” You hear him sigh, and your heart hurts for him. Hugging your pillow, you stare at the darkness. “These guys, they... They said some things and... It reminded me of my father.”
“Your father?” You ask because Billy never spoke of him. He did mention a stepsister, Maxine, and her mother Susan, but never the father. You knew he had a reason for it, but you never wanted to push him into telling you something he didn't feel comfortable with.
“Yes. He was a damn devil. He was abusive, he hit me, and what those idiots said to me today... It was the same things Neil once did and everything just came back and I...” He makes a pause, and you slowly sit up, looking at the door, the piece of wood separating you from Billy. “I shouldn't have said those things to you, I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I promise. And I understand if you want to leave... But I just need you to know that I didn't mean any of that. You're nothing like those people. You're kind and honest and noble... You're... You're amazing, (Y/N), truly.” After some seconds, you listen as he walks away.
Your heart sinks at what he said. At the pain in his voice. And as much as you're hurt by his outburst, he did had a reason. Memories can be tough, they have the power to drag you back to the very moment they were created, and now, thinking about it, you did see a hint of sadness in Billy's eyes earlier, you just couldn't recognize it. So this is why he fled. He wasn't just running from a small town, he was running from living in hell to the place he felt like home.
Taking a deep breath, you stand up, leaving the blanket behind despite the cold air that makes you shiver. Slowly, you move to the door, trying to open it as quietly as you can. As soon as you're out, the low noise of the TV and a bluish light hits you.
Billy is seated on the couch, elbows on his knees, and his eyes on the floor. It takes a few seconds until he notices your presence, raising his eyes.
“I'm sorry your father was a dick.” You whisper, standing there, eyes locked with Billy. “And whatever those guys said, it isn't true. I don't know what it was, but it isn't true.” Making your way to the couch and sitting beside him, you notice the bruise on the apple of his cheek. “What's that?”
“He punched me and I punched back.” As he speaks, you touch his cheek, delicately. “It got me a warning from the company. If it happens again, I'm fired.”
“It happens again, you give me the name and address and I'll beat them up for you.” Leaning closer, you ignore his chuckle, placing a soft kiss on his bruise, but your lips barely touch his skin since you don't want to hurt him more than he's already hurt. “I mean it.” Then you start kissing him. His cheek, his jaw, the corner of his lips. “Don't you ever believe anything they say.” When you realize what you're doing, you pull away, blushing and looking down. “Well, you should go to sleep now. The bed is yours.”
Nodding, he hesitates a little before standing up. But when he does, he doesn't move. “You know... It's a double bed. We'd both fit there.” Billy reaches out his hand, and you look at it for a while, considering his idea before taking it.
“Yeah, it does.” Standing up, you walk with him back to the bedroom.
It happens silently, as if it had happened many times before. When you lie down, facing away from him, you both move at the same time. You search for his hand, to pull it over your waist, as he moves to do so. “Is it ok?”
“Yes.” You mutter, eyes already closed as you slowly sink into a peaceful sleep.
When the morning comes, you only notice because Billy starts moving. Groaning a little, and still very cold, you turn around, snuggling closer to his chest. “Don't go.” You beg, knowing it's still on the week days, which means Billy has to work. “You're so warm.” Taking a deep breath, you hook your leg around his waist, as if it could keep him from getting up.
“I have to go to work, but I'd stay if I had a choice.” He giggles, running a hand through your leg. “Funny, you're...” You feel his hand on your neck as he mutters something you don't understand. “That's not good.”
“What?” You whine, a little upset and embarrassed, since you just realize how your leg was around him, so you move it off.
“You're burning up.” Billy gets up suddenly, fixing the blankets around you. “I'll go get something from the drugstore to lower your fever.”
You didn't notice the fever. Well, you've been feeling cold, but you thought it was the air-conditioning. “No. I don't want you to be late because of me.” Pushing yourself up, you sit straight. “I can get it.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Billy...” Jumping to your feet, you walk fast until you reach him by the door. “It's just a fever. There's no reason for you to worry.” Shyly, you take his hand. “Just do your stuff and I can get some medicine later.”
“No. You've been complaining about being cold for a few days, it's bad enough you'll have to be alone here, I'll–”
“I'll be fine. I can call Stacy. Remember she said she has the week off? I will ask if she can stay with me.” It's not a big deal, and you don't understand why Billy is so worried about it. “Really, I'm alright.”
He takes a deep breath, a hand cupping your face, his thumb softly caressing your skin. Yesterday's fight is long forgotten now, for both of you. “Alright. But I'll be at the Whaylands today. Anything happens you call there, and ask to talk to me. Say it's an emergency or something like that, ok?”
You don't know the Whayland's number, but you just nod. “I'll be fine, don't worry.” Smiling, you tiptoe a little but give up halfway, blushing and looking away.
“You can kiss me if you want.” He smirks, bending a little to capture your lips. It takes no time until you react, but when you remember you have a fever, you push him away. “What?” He sounds confused, eyebrows furrowed.
“I might have a cold or something. I don't want you getting sick so...” Shrugging your shoulders, you feel a little brave. “But when I'm better, I wouldn't mind kissing you.”
“That's good to know.” He smirks. “Now, call Stacy and ask her to stay with you. I'll take a shower and get ready to work.”
“Alright.”
Despite him saying you don't have to, you make him breakfast, and a sandwich he can eat on the road. Stacy comes a couple of hours later and you take the pills she brought you. You like Stacy, and you feel free to be yourself around her, the rules you once followed completely left behind. So you're laughing out loud all day, even taking a walk on the beach after lunch. You can't wait to tell her and the others the truth. Your real name at least. They still call you Lily, and as far as they know, you've been crashing on Billy's until you find a place for yourself. But you do want to tell the truth, and you hope they'll understand why you had to lie. But now, that's a distant thought. Jimmy shows up at the end of the afternoon after Stacy calls him. And, with you both annoying him to death, he starts making dinner, which only makes you and Stacy boss him around with giggles and jokes.
“No, listen up now.” He says after putting the chicken in the oven. “Enough with bugging me, you two. I wanna know something.” Raising an eyebrow, he gestures at you, dramatically slamming his hands on the table, making you roll your eyes. “You and Billy.” He says. “What's going on?”
Feeling your cheeks burning up, you clear your throat, looking at your hands. “Nothing.”
“I didn't take you for a liar," Stacy says, crossing her arms.
“I'm not...” Taking a deep breath, you run a hand through your hair. “I'm not lying. There's nothing between Billy and I. Just... We just kissed a few times but–”
“I knew it!” Stacy exclaims, cutting you off and startling you a little. “Since that day at the party when we met.”
“Really?” Despite being a little shy, you do want to know whatever she thinks she knows.
“Billy had a lot of... Flings. But he never stood up for any of them. He never truly cared. So when he beat up Chad like that... I knew something was off.” She exchanges a glance with Jimmy, smirking.
“And, c'mon, the way he looks at you is so cute.” Jimmy makes a funny voice and you giggle. “He's really into you. And Billy was never into anyone.”
“Of course he was.” You exclaim.
“No, no,” Jimmy speaks up, shaking his head lightly. “He gets a girl he finds attractive when he's bored, that's one thing. Being into someone is completely different.” As the plays with the dishcloth, he takes a seat across from you. “And I did find it weird when he suddenly stopped showing up with a different girl every day, and now I know why.”
“I don't know... I mean, we're good now, but... It's nothing official, so...” Shrugging your shoulders, you look down, taking a deep breath. “But I'm happy the way things are now and who knows what may come next? I'll just take things slow.”
“You know what comes next.” Stacy chuckles. “Trust me, you'll two be dating in no time.”
“I bet,” Jimmy adds.
“Guys, just–” The door opening cuts you off, and you can't help but smile to see Billy. “Hey, you.”
“Hey, you.” He answers, glancing at the other two. “Hi, everyone else who doesn't live here.” Closing the door shut, he makes his way over you. “Are you feeling better?”
“Yup.” Nodding, you blush when he bends over to place a kiss on your lips.
“Good. I'll shower and... Something's burning.”
“Jimmy!” Both you and Stacy shout and the poor guy sets in motion, crouching in front of the oven.
“Please don't let Jimmy burn the kitchen to the ground,” Billy whispers on your ear before heading to the bathroom.
The chicken was burned, but Jimmy had the decency of taking those parts for himself. Other than that, he's quite a good cook. And this dinner is nothing like the formal meals you had back home. It's loud, filled with laughter and stupid jokes, that are no fun at all but make you laugh anyway. An hour later, after Jimmy went to the grocery store to buy chocolate bars for dessert, you're just seating at the table, fighting with Stacy for the last piece.
“Oh, listen up!” Jimmy raises his voice, making both you and Stacy quit arguing. And you decide to let her keep the bar. “I spoke to my grandfather's friend and... He'll give you a chance. So show up on Monday by nine and I'll start filling you up with everything you gotta know.”
“Oh my gosh, for real!?” You exclaim, a bright smile on your lips. “That's absolutely amazing. It'll be so fun working with you.” Standing up, you bend over the table a little to high-five Jimmy. “Great!”
“So... Will I have to ask?” Billy speaks up when you sit down again, staring at you.
“Well, I was waiting for an answer before telling you. Jimmy said something about a diving equipment store so I asked him to speak to the owner to get me a job.” Turning your body towards Billy, you smile. “And it seems like it's happening.”
“Are you sure you want an actual job?” He asks, and you know what he means. You never had a job before, and well, you don't understand much about diving stuff. But you want this. You want to have something to do, and you want to make some money too, despite the untouched bag of money you have.
“Yeah. Jimmy promised to teach me everything I need to know and he'll keep his promise or else nobody will ever hear of him again.” As you speak, you stare at Jimmy, lowering your voice.
“I'm not scared of you, Lily. But I'm scared of Billy so don't worry I'll keep the promise.” He winks at you, and you can tell he's bringing the Chad incident back again.
“You know what...” Stacy says, taking a dramatically deep breath and getting up. “It's a little late and I believe these two want some alone time so we should get going.”
“Agreed.” Jimmy quickly follows her lead. “Well, see you guys around.”
“Bye.” You mutter, already moving to the sink to do the dishes.
Billy joins and helps you, so it's done in only a couple of minutes. Then, you move to the couch, and you couldn't contain your happiness when you found Grease on TV, and somehow you managed to make Billy watch without complaining too much. At the beginning of the movie, you were seated normally, side by side, but as time went by, you started to move, closer and closer, until you're lying down, with Billy's chest pressed against your back in a spoon position. But the awkwardness faded soon enough, and you surrendered to the bliss of being held by him.
When the movie ended, you started singing along to the last song, trying to annoy Billy as much as you could. But up next is a horror movie, and of course, Billy is forcing you to watch it since he threw the remote control somewhere on the floor and won't let you get up to take it. But since it isn't very good, both of you started to lose interest.
“Hey...” He mutters. “Are you sure about this job thing? What if your father calls tomorrow saying this whole thing is over and you can go back home?”
“Uhm...” You weren't thinking about that. Actually, the life you're living now has easily become the only life you have. The rest feels more distant with every passing day. But the decision isn't hard to make. Now, you know what you want, and you will do what makes you happy. “I'd still show up on Monday. I want this job. I want to have a purpose in life, even if it's selling diving stuff.” Shrugging your shoulders, you furrow your eyebrows at a particularly disgusting scene.
“I don't think your parents would allow it,” Billy speaks low, and you feel as he moves the hair away from your neck, starting to run his fingers through the skin, so softly you barely feel it.
“To hell with me what my parents think.” His fingertips burn, but it makes you shiver at the same time. You can't help but close your eyes at the sensation, giggling a little when he touches a ticklish spot. “This feels nice.”
“Does it?”
You're about to answer when you feel his lips replacing his fingers, and breath gets caught in your throat. For a girl who had never truly kissed anyone before, this is a whole new level. “Oh...” You mutter, lightly elbowing him, mostly out of nervousness, when you feel his teeth on your skin. “Didn't take you for a biter, Hargrove.”
“Only if you ask.”
“Alright then...” Moving, you turn around until you're facing him, your lips chasing his as if it's a matter of life and death. And it kinda is. You felt like you were dead, suffocated by all the things you had to participate in, the friends you had to pretend to like, the formal meetings, the family business, the rules, and etiquette. Everything you didn't want to be. But when Billy came along, you felt like you were finally allowed to swim to the surface and breathe. Billy is real, he doesn't fake it. When he's angry, he's angry, and when he's sad, he's sad.
In a way, Billy brought back to life, down to Earth, and pulled you up among the clouds at the same time. Because that's where you are now, kissing him, for far too long maybe, with only a few pauses to catch a breath. It's addictive, inebriating, and you'd stay here forever if you could because nothing else matters. His hands run through your body, respectfully, never pushing you, never going too far. You'd never expect this from the Billy Gisele told you about.
“We should be together.” You let out once you break apart again, catching your breath. But you regret it because you might have ruined the moment... But you can't help but wonder how many girls Billy had, in the exact position you are now, making out, just so it'll all over the next day. And you don't want that. You want him, for more than just a couple of days... And yes, you failed. You are falling in love with Billy. Clearing your throat you shake your head. “I mean... I just thought...”
“Look at me.” With his index finger, he lifts your head so you're staring into his eyes again. “This won't ever be accepted by anyone in your circle. Parents, friends, relatives... You know that right? Nobody will support this relationship.”
“I don't need their support. I've been told what to do my whole life. What clothes to wear, what friends I should grow close to, what to major in... I'm tired of this shit, I want you.” It just comes out, too fast, and you don't even know what to say to cover it up. Because it's the truth. “California never felt like home to me until you came along. This... This place feels more like home than the house I grew up in.”
“I... I wish you could stay here.” Billy's voice it's so low it makes you wonder if you heard him right.
“Stay here as in... Mmm... Living here? Even after the gang is arrested?” Blushing, you decide to be brave and ask him. It's not like you could pretend you didn't hear it. And yes, living here sounds a lot better than going back to the house.
“Yeah.” He nods, taking a deep breath. “I can't give you a big ass garden, a pool or–”
“I'd trade all of that for kisses, so I think we'd be good.” Rolling your eyes, you cut him off, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh, really?” In a fake menacing tone, Billy stars to move, trying to stay above you, but there's no enough couch and you start falling off.
“Billy, wait!” Laughing, you try to push him off. “I'm falling!”
“That's too bad.” Even though he doesn't stop and you do miss the couch completely, he manages to hold you by the waist, breaking your fall and instead, laying you softly on the floor before moving to hover above you, his body pressing yours against the cold ground.
Smiling, you wrap your arms around his neck. “You know I can–”
“Be my girlfriend.” Billy cuts you off, his face getting all serious suddenly. He's not joking.
“W-what?” It's not that you didn't get it, it's just that you can't believe. And, by the look on his face, he took that as a doubt. He's beginning to move away, but you grab a handful of his shirt, forcing him to stay where he is. “Yes.” You burst out, biting your lip. “I wanna be your girlfriend.”
The smile that comes to his lips is beautiful, breathtaking. Your favorite view in the world. “Good.” And with that, he leans down to kiss you again.
