Ok nobody extrapolate anything about me from this...
The first time you cry in front of the 141:
The first time you cry in front of Ghost it's because you can't fucking take it anymore. All the little things, all the comments you know he didn't mean to hurt, all the conversations you ignored because you didn't want to make him feel like the bad guy, it all comes to a head. You don't even mean it to happen, and you feel like shooting yourself on the spot as soon as the tears start flowing. It feels manipulative. It feels disingenuous. You feel like a piece of shit having him awkwardly bundle you in his arms as you break down sobbing over a topic that normally would mean nothing to you. And it all comes out. All the worries and slights you ignored, all the fears and doubts, all the things that made you question if you could ever even start to bring up with him. Like throwing up, once it starts you can't stop it.
He looks like you've hit him when you finally escape his bear hug. You barely get the chance to take it in before you're thrust back into sobbing hysterics, blubbering out apologies, how you feel like you're manipulating him, how you're a bad partner, how you're sure he's going to realize he doesn't want you and leave. You barely hear the rough "Jesus Christ" over your own hiccuping.
Ghost shuffles the two of you over to grab you a t-shirt to blow your nose in while you're sniffling and wiping at your eyes. You feel pathetic having him hold the fabric to your face and telling you to blow.
"Didn't know ya made this much snot love," he jokes.
"You're dot funny," you whine, nose still clogged with wattery mucus as your tears finally start calming down.
"I know," he grumps.
"You're mad at me," you sniffle.
"I'm not," he sounds mad, "mad at myself. Shoulda seen ya keepin' things to yourself, I'm glad ya finally told me." His scarred mouth screws to one side. "Just gotta work on makin' sure we don't get to this point again."
-
The first time you cry in front of Soap it's because you're so fucking mad at him. He's arguing with you over nothing, the same way he always does when he's in a bad mood. Finding little things that dig at you and twisting just enough to make it not his fault when you snap. Back and forth with your barbs until you got to bed angry.
You can feel the tears burning at your waterline before they spill and you know your hot cheeks don't bode any better. You're not yelling but you almost wish you were, at least of you were yelling at each other it might make you feel better about the sudden waterworks. You hate when this happens. Too big an emotion in the body, it has to come out somewhere, you suppose this is just the quickest avenue. The way Soap's face drops from anger to concern pisses you off though.
"Hen, are ya-"
"I'm so fucking mad right now," you assure him, "don't look at me, don't even acknowledge them."
"Ah dinnae ken," His voice is getting softer, it only makes you more upset, "Oh my bonnie, ahm sorry ah didnae think this would hurt ya so bad."
"Fuck off," you try to push past him to lock yourself in the bathroom and he catches your arm to pull you against him. "Fuck off!" You shriek, pushing at him.
"No," he holds you a little tighter, "my mam would 'ave my heid hearin' ah let ya walk away from me like this, yer stayin' 'ere."
"I will fucking skin you Mactavish," you struggle harder.
"Aye anno, now shut up an' quit yer kickin'."
You do neither of those things.
-
The first time Gaz sees you cry it's because no one's ever seen you before. Even in your best relationships, your closest friendships, no one sees you like Gaz. No one picks you up from work with flowers and takes you by your favorite bakery just so you can have a slice of cake when you watch your comfort show. You're not even through the title music, Gaz sorting through your takeout options after he'd gotten you a "fancy plate" and a small fork to eat with, when you break down in sobs. He's on you immediately, hushing you as he gathers you into his arms. He's so attentive it hurts.
"It's OK baby," he hums, "don't have to talk about it, you just let it out."
God even that gets you crying. You don't have to get your words right or find a way to explain what you're feeling, you can just feel it. You try to think of a way to put it into words but it all lines up wrong, sounds too juvenile, doesn't make any sense even to you. There's no need to say anything though, Gaz just sits there with you, holds you through it as you wet his shoulder with your tears.
You don't even know why you're crying by the end of it, you just kept coming up with other reasons to cry. Jesus you don't think you ever got over your last grandparent dying, or losing that one friend, that's something to unpack later. You feel drained. Literally dehydrated drained. Gaz's shirt is soaked, but he doesn't day anything when you pull back.
He cups your cheek at wipes at the wet stains on your cheek with his thumb, eyes searching yours before he gives you a tight smile.
"Why don't you go take a hot shower, yeah?" He offers, you give him a watery nod, he smiles and pats your knee. "Alright, off you go. I'll be in, in a second."
The second time you cry in front of Gaz it's before he's got you pinned to the shower wall.
-
The first time Price sees you cry it's because you're tired. You're tired of giving everything to this relationship and seeing him leave right when things seem to be falling into place. His phone buzzes in the middle of the night and you don't stop the downpour when he grumbles out a swear and turns on the light. You glare at the ceiling and let the tears flow. It hurts. Tight in your chest. This feeling like you'll never be enough, like he'll always have something more important than you, it kills you. So why can't you leave him?
Are the good times really good enough to make up for the bad?
It makes him stop what he was doing when he sees the resolute grimace and the flow of tears over your cheeks. You shudder in a breath when he sits on the side of the bed. You refuse to look at him.
How could he do this to you?
"Sweetheart," he starts, his voice low, gentling, "I'm sorry."
"You're not." You correct him, "Otherwise you wouldn't keep doing it."
"You want me to choose between you and the world, you know what I'll say." He always sounds so sharp, ready to guilt you into giving up what he wants.
"I'm asking you to choose between me and paperwork," you bite back.
"You don't know-"
"You get phone calls when you're being deployed." You remind him, "You get reminders when papers are due." You turn to glare at him. The look on his face twists like a knife in your chest. You're dead on the money, and it's killing him. "So can this really not wait until the morning, are you really that eager to be rid of me?"
"I'm sorry," he tries again, toeing off his shoes, "you're right, I hadn't noticed." You turn over as he climbs under the duvet again. You fold your legs up as his arm drapes over you hip and he curls around you. His lips touch your shoulder, a silent plea for forgiveness. "Let me make it up to you, no more running into red tape I promise."
You don't bother agreeing to empty promises, but the next day he's had the paperwork sent from the base. The same the next day. Price always told you working from home didn't suit him. Waking you up with a cuppa on the other hand and walking you to the station does though.
He makes good on his promise, he doesn't run off until the next call comes in.

I mean rly the only reason I got angry is bc I feel so desperately ashamed/guilty but dont want to face + accept the burden of that as my own responsibility + fault for not trying hard enough or at all lmao. so for someone to targetedly ask why I'm not trying cut a bit too close thats all.

Joel wakes up screaming.
His first thought, honestly, isnโ€™t very coherent. A mishmash of need more time and a throat-tearing scream escaping him as he opens his eyes toโ€“
His scream dies down. Joel looks aroundโ€“ at least, he thinks heโ€™s looking around. Hard to tell when itโ€™s all pitch black and he canโ€™t see a thing, is he sure his eyes are workingโ€“?
Joel brings a hand to his face, โ€œDid I go blindโ€“ What the heck!โ€
His voice comes out shrill, a hair away from a shriek (because no, it wasnโ€™t a shriek, it was all manly and stuff, thank you.) as his hand kind ofโ€“ it kindaโ€“
He knows where his head is. Obviously. Be a bit weird if he didnโ€™t. He knows where his head is, and he knows where his hand is. Both are important. So when he reached towards his head, right, gotta see if thereโ€™s a cloth over his eyes, or if heโ€™s gone blind or whatever stupid thing mustโ€™ve happened to him afterโ€ฆ After heโ€ฆ
His thoughts go fuzzy for a second, like that feeling you get when you think youโ€™ve forgotten something but canโ€™t remember what. Like knowing the shape of something youโ€™ve lost, its absence so pressing that it chokes you like sand, clogging your lungs with each second it's gone but what the heck is itโ€“?!
Where was he, again?
Oh. Right. He was freaking out.
The point isโ€“ because there was a point, right before things got all weird thereโ€“ his hand went through his head.
Itโ€ฆ He doesnโ€™t even know how to explain it. It felt likeโ€ฆ Not much, really. Didnโ€™t feel like anything. But thatโ€™s the issue with it, the issue of something should be there, like skin and muscle and bone and perhaps even a brain. But instead, Joel put his hand where his face should be and he felt nothing, no matter how hard he tried, how far he reached and pushed andโ€“
Joel wants to scream. Or laugh. Or cry. Either of the three, though preferably not that last one.
Itโ€™s so weird. He just wantsโ€ฆ
There it is again. That feeling. The clawing, desperate something in his chest that twists and writhesโ€“
โ€œHey, Joel.โ€
Joel screams. (First option, then.)
Jimmy just stares at him, unimpressed. His sunglasses are blocking his eyes.
For some reason, it makes Joel want to cry.
Jimmy sighs, โ€œAre you done?โ€ Joel gapes at him.
Are you serious, โ€œAm I dโ€“ What the heck, Jimmy?โ€ He snaps, โ€œDonโ€™t sneak up on me like that, Iโ€™m not bloody Grianโ€“โ€
Since when did Jimmy get so quiet, anyway?
โ€œOf course youโ€™re not Grian,โ€ Jimmy says, his voice all weird. Off. โ€œItโ€™d be easier if you were. Heโ€™s already moved on.โ€
Joelโ€™s hackles rise, โ€œWhat dโ€™you mean itโ€™d be easier?โ€ He snarls, like snapping teeth. โ€œAnd he hasnโ€™t moved on, heโ€™s justโ€“โ€
โ€œLooking for new friends?โ€ Jimmy deadpans. Joelโ€™s jaw clicks shut. โ€œ โ€˜s what I thought.โ€
Oh, Joel wants to punch him in theโ€“
Wait a second.
It comes back to him then, slamming into him like a wave. The bubbling, helpless laughter in his chest as he leaps and runs across a flimsy dirt bridge. The way he knows heโ€™s fallen before, fallen a million different times and came out both dead and alive but he doesnโ€™t care.
("โ€“you can't keep doing thisโ€“")
He doesnโ€™t (didnโ€™t) care, because why should he, heโ€™s gotโ€“ heโ€™s got water. Heโ€™s got water, like everyone else on this bluminโ€™ server, heโ€™ll live, surely, so thereโ€™s no need to be scared.
("โ€“got to let go, eventually, rightโ€“?")
No need to worry, even as yellow feathers plummet and disappear from view and lightning strikes where Jimmyโ€™s voice cut offโ€“
โ€œJoel!โ€ Jimmy shouts, practically right in his face. โ€œJoel, are you even listeningโ€“?โ€
This, Joel decides, is not Jimmy.
It's got the shape of Jimmy, sure. Right hair and face and everything. Right voice, right bloody curve of his eyebrows, which makes Joel laugh, because it isn't him.
It can't be. It can't be, because Jimmy's dead. Jimmy's gone, he ran out of time because he fell like an idiot so no, this can't be him, there's no way.
On all levels except physical, Joel can't seem to breathe.
There's no way this is Jimmy, he thinks, just the right amount of hysterical. It's just not possible.
Because if this is him, (and that's a big, gigantic if) then that meansโ€“ That means wherever he went, Joel followed. Joel followed, and now they're in the Void, or Limbo, or whatever the heck it's called, and that means that Joelโ€“
Joel failed Grian, too.
"You're not Jimmy," He says at last, with his not-there tongue and not-there face. His voice sounds distant. "He'd be like, crying. Screamin' about dying first again, going oh my gosh!" Joel tells Not-Jimmy, pitching his voice up and then laughs, laughs, and laughs.
Until he can't breathe. Until it hurts to.
Until it's not much of a laugh at all.
Light shines on Not-Jimmy's sunglasses. He's still the only thing Joel can see.
Joel reaches out, pretending to see two, shaking hands grab Jimmy by the shoulders. He pretends, thinks about it hard enough that he almost feels the texture of Jimmy's denim under his palms. He thinks, imagines, pretends, whatever, that the fabric crinkles under his touch, that the sob that makes his way past his lips is a laugh as he says, "I'm sorry."
Something wet trickles down his not-there face.
" 'm sorry, Jim," Joel rasps out, and it hurts. "You weren't supposed toโ€“ I had a surprise for you, you know?"
Jimmy's voice is quiet, "What kind of surprise?" He asks, and Joelโ€ฆ
Joel thinks he might be falling apart.
(Or maybe, his mind supplies, he shattered a long while ago. Like glass hitting the floor.)
He grins, or at least, he tries to. "I was gonna break your curse," He confesses, with his terrible, trembling mouth. "I was gonna sacrifice myself for you, be all heroic and everything."
Jimmy says nothing. Joel still can't see his eyes.
"I'm sorry."
He's getting tired of pretending.
"Will you come with me now?" Jimmyโ€“ Not-Jimmy says, his voice ringing like the toll of a bell. "You've said your piece, not many are afforded that luxury."
Joel blinks. Death stands before him, no sunglasses to cover empty sockets.
For a moment, Joel considers fighting. Again, and again, and again.
But he is so, very tired.
He sighs.
I don't feel very lucky, Joel wants to say. And you still aren't Jimmy.ย 
"Whatever," He says instead. He feels his entire being slip away like sand, like time held tightly between two fists. "Take me away, or whatever it is you do."
Joel closes his eyes, "I'll tell him when I see him."

Youโ€™re everything.
Eddie Munson x fem reader
Eddie Munson comes home and sees the bedroom destroyed. Your mental health has taken a toll and you feel worthless. But heโ€™s always there to remind you how much he loves you and how heโ€™s always willing to help you pick up the pieces.
Warnings! Hurt comfort. Mental illness. I wrote this with the reader having BPD and autism. This is based on my experience. I havenโ€™t seen much on those two issues. Feelings of worthlessness. Mild self harm. Anger episode. Anxiety. I hope this comforts you because youโ€™re worthy of love and Eddie would love you no matter what. Also the photo used is just for aesthetic. Not proofread.
Thank you to my friends, Dolly, Mae and Em for helping me with this. I love you girls.
Eddie pushed open the apartment door, with his hip, a few grocery bags lined down his arm because he refused to make two trips. โ€œHey, sweetheart, Iโ€™m back!โ€ He shut the door with his foot, did a quick unfocused glance around the living room.
โ€œFuck, the store was packed! I think you would have stayed in the car, baby.โ€ He set down the bags and started putting away the cold items. Eddie yawned afterwards, closing the refrigerator and stretched. His black, stolen back sweatshirt rising above his stomach.
It dawned on him that you havenโ€™t responded at all. โ€œBaby?โ€ He called again. No answer. He frowned and approached the bedroom door and he gasped when he saw the scene.
The bed was torn apart. Blankets thrown off and the pillows dented. Eddie went to take a step before he looked on the ground. Stim toys were all over the floor. Stuffed animals and even clothes. A few shirts were ripped. He didnโ€™t see you. โ€œPrincess, whatโ€™s going-โ€œ
A hole was in the wall next to the closet. A small one but it went deep in the plaster. Eddie moved quickly. Surveying the damage, he saw a bloody imprint. Knuckles. Eddie sighed. You were having an episode. He should have known. You didnโ€™t answer his texts. You hated phone calls. This wasnโ€™t the first time this happened. Eddie on a number of times had to sit by your side during dark hours.
But he loved you. You were beautiful. His everything. It wasnโ€™t one sided. If anything, you gave too much to him. You were always supporting him. Even when he was unbearable. You stood by him. He would do whatever you needed. He needed you. He wanted you. Eddie knew immediately where you were then.
He gently opened the closet door and he saw you. You were wearing a large t shirt, it went past your thighs and loose plaid pajama pants.
Over ear headphones on, your phone face down on the floor and you were stimming. Rocking back and forth. You were panting, your face flushed and he could see your eyes squeezed shut. Eddie saw your right hand. Your knuckles were bloody and bruised.
He didnโ€™t want to startle you so Eddie opened the door further, enough for you to hear it over music.
Eddieโ€™s heart ached when you turned to look at him. Your eyes were blood shot. Your lips bleeding from what he knew, you bit them or picking at them. Your nails had blood underneath them from biting the nail. You were a wreck. But you were his special girl.
โ€œHeyโ€ฆโ€ He said, swallowing. โ€œBaby, I-what happened?โ€
You tried to stand but ended up sprawled on the ground. He went to help you but you jerked away, pulling yourself up.
โ€œIโ€™m so fucking mad right now.โ€ You were almost yelling. But you sounded out of breath. โ€œI-I took my meds but Iโ€™m still like this. My heart hurts, I just feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. Everything is too loud!โ€ You werenโ€™t crying but you were growing hysterical. You started pacing.
โ€œWhy am I like this? Why canโ€™t I just be normal? Why do I get so upset over the smallest things?โ€ Eddie was standing close but he didnโ€™t reach yet. You were tugging at your shirt. He knew you were getting hot.
โ€œI canโ€™t deal with this. I canโ€™t feel this way! Im so sick of feeling like Iโ€™m useless because I canโ€™t even talk on the phone to my boyfriend because I hate how it makes me feel! You shouldnโ€™t have to deal with me.โ€
โ€œSweetheart, will you just come here for a second?โ€ Eddie tried to prompt.
โ€œNo!โ€ You stopped moving and placed your hands on your chest. โ€œEddie. I donโ€™t want you to see me like this. Again. Maybe you should leave. I donโ€™t want to keep freaking you out.โ€
Eddie moved then. And he gently grasped your elbows and looked down. Eye contact was difficult for you and he never wanted to force it. But he tilted your chin, happy if you just looked at his forehead. โ€œPrincess. Iโ€™m not leaving you. I would never.โ€ He leaned forward, rubbing his nose against yours. โ€œIโ€™m just happy you didnโ€™t break your hand.โ€ He pulled away, glad you werenโ€™t moving away. โ€œYouโ€™re burning up. Letโ€™s get to the couch, itโ€™s too warm in here.โ€
Eddie wrapped his arm around your waist, helping you walk around the mess and he sat you down on the couch. โ€œIโ€™ll be right back, babe.โ€ You grabbed his hand. โ€œI promise.โ€ He smiled at you. You slowly let go.
He tried not to show his panic as he looked for the first aid kit. Eddie came back to the living room, kneeling in front of you. โ€œLet me see that hand.โ€ He asked, pulling it towards him. It was shaking. He was careful, dabbing it with saline and you winced. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, baby.โ€ Eddie went through the motions, remembering how to wrap an injured hand from his own share of punching walls.
After the bandage was around your hand, he pressed a kiss on top. He maneuvered his way up and sat beside you. Eddie held your leg that was bouncing. โ€œBabeโ€ฆI know for a while things have been really hard for you. And seeing all that today, I see youโ€™re in a lot of pain. And I just want to help you. I love you so much. You know that right?โ€ You covered your face with your hands.
โ€œEddie, you shouldnโ€™t. I feel like I donโ€™t have enough good days. Iโ€™m so tired of always telling you how bad my day was, or that I want to have a meltdown about fucking textures or sounds. I just wish I could be normal for you.โ€ Eddie shook his head, taking your hands down.
โ€œHey. Hey. I would never trade you for anything. I would never want anyone other than you. The only thing I wish I could change, is how you feel about yourself. Baby, you are so much more than what you struggle with. Youโ€™re kind, funny, like so funny I almost snort and I canโ€™t even breathe. You understand me, you are so caring and you let me be annoying when I smoke too much weed. I could go on for days.โ€ You lifted your head. And looked at him. And held eye contact.
โ€œYouโ€™re more than bad days, baby. I love you so much. And I know you were listening to our song, right? The one I told you to play when things get bad?โ€ You nodded. Smiling a little. Eddie feigned shock.
โ€œIs that-is that a smile? Thatโ€™s my girl.โ€ It widened and he grinned, cupping your cheeks.
โ€œCome on. Sing one line with me. And then, Iโ€™m gonna go pick up the bedroom. Iโ€™m going to make you something to eat and then weโ€™re going to watch your favorite movies.โ€
โ€œDo I have to sing?โ€ You complained.
โ€œSorry, baby. Those are the rules.โ€ Eddie winked, still holding tight to your face.
โ€œAnd I donโ€™t want the world to see me, cuz I donโ€™t think that theyโ€™d understand.โ€ Eddie leaned in, pressing his lips softly to yours. Gently because of the picked apart flesh.
โ€œIโ€™m proud of you, sweetheart.โ€ You wrapped your arms around his shoulders and squeezed tightly. Eddie followed suit and hugged you around the waist.
โ€œI love you so much, Eddie.โ€
Eddie breathed you in. It wouldnโ€™t fix what you felt. But you wouldnโ€™t have to battle anything alone.

"Oh. Hah."
Elias makes his way in without much commotion to it. There's certainly enough space around Jon's somewhat limp body sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of the doorway and he makes use of it, eventually stopping to neatly fold his coat. Jon is not entirely sure he finds it in him to be surprised. Or scared. Or, maybe, he just doesn't have enough will of his own left to feel pretty much anything.
"Take the shoes," he clears his throat out, trying to find his voice. "Take the shoes off. Georgie doesn'tโ€”"
"I know."
Of course.
"Of course," he blinks first and shuts the door second.
They go by a kind of move-stare-follow protocol while Elias proceeds to make himself at home. Although it's mostly Jon doing the staring, Elias doesn't look at all. He walks across the flat blindly, like his muscles remember the floor and the corners. Jon supposes they might, in some omniscient and messed up way.
"Charming," Elias proclaims dryly at the thin mattress Jon came to inhabit.
"Indeed," Jon echoes.
Seeing the man plop down gracelessly in his thick flannel suit doesn't have the same effect anymore. Jon used to think it was some weird corporate thing, something they'd teach you at a workshop about great leadership. Make yourself approachable. Sit down with them on a dusty curb in the back alley, share a cigarette, address them by their names. Crush a man's scull into a purรฉe in their office. Make them feel. Make yourself human.
"Don't," Elias said softly as Jon takes a breath in.
He reaches out a hand that Jon doesn't take. Instead, he sits at the opposite end of the mattress, feeling a sudden vertigo. Elias drops the hand into his lap, palm up. "You're burning up."
Jon cracks a hysterical laugh, heavily propping himself up. He feels a tug at his chest, a yearning for a solid form beside him, spitting "fuck you" in the viper's face โ€” a sad, childlike desire, to call for Tim like he'd make all the monsters go away in an instant. Jon squints at the hungry void across from him, all alone, he's so alone, and the monster creeps closer. Elias takes his still burning, still bubbling hand in a firm hold and tugs until the void swallows Jon whole. He watches the fall of his own body, wet forehead pressed into the wooly fabric, bones twisted in an unnatural position. Elias jolts involuntary as Jon tumbles into him but sits still for the few excruciating moments Jon needs to collect himself. Mentally, mostly, because to recuperate his body on the ground โ€” mattress, โ€” and push himself up against the wall proves to be easier than walking.
They sit now, shoulders and sides touching, and Jon now can't see the void. He closes his eyes to be sure and pants heavily.
"What are you doing to me?"
"Nothing. You're just dehydrated."
"Sure."
Elias sighs and runs circles over his wrist.
"I might get sick," Jon adds.
"You are."
"No, I mean." He gestures vaguely, shaking off the cold fingers. "I mean puke."
"Mhm."
Jon makes an effort to pull his knees up and double over, curling in on himself. He breathes, fast and panicked, trying to will the nausea away and the cold hand returns to pet steadily at his back. Jon feels a very particular nothing about it being there.
"You..."
Killed. A complete sentence, not even an accusations, because Jon doesn't know how to finish it. Leitner. Gertrude. Sasha. You killed me, he wants to say, even when he's still hurting and breathing.
"Time and place, Jon. There's no use to try right now."
Jon squeezes his head between his knees and wants to wail. He wants to cry more and he wants Elias to be gone. He does get away, truth be told, the mattress shifts and pangs and Jon doesn't know if this twisted delirium of his is ever coming back until Elias carefully unfolds him.
"Don't get the wrong idea," he sounds almost amused as he cradles Jon close, pushing a bottle into his hands and palming greasy hair out of the way.
Jon drinks in gulps that hurt him more than the burning and drops his head onto the bony shoulder in some exhausted kind of surrender. Elias smells like the archives. Cologne and cigarettes, too, but mostly dry rot and dust. Never sweat. Never the must of a human body. Jon feels cold terror bite at his ankles and curls up again, this time pressing himself into Elias' rigid form, nose buried in satin. He doesn't knows gods, not the way his grandmother did, but he imagines this to be the smell of those catholic statues adorn in silks and left to stale for centuries on end.
Feed your god fearlessly and without hesitation, or it will feed on you.
He feels a gentle press to the top of his head. Might be lips or something else, Jon doesn't know, but he laughs coarsely, clinging to the shirt with bloodless fingers. "Don't get the wrong idea."
He doesn't really think there are any wrong ideas left between them.
Elias hums and it echoes all around. Jon speaks again. "Is this real?"
He's not sure if he's doing the thing, but Elias scratches at the base of his skull with repulsive tenderness and answers earnestly. "It is."
"What do you want?"
"At the moment?"
"I... Yes."
"For you to sleep, preferably."
"Why?"
Jon feels his pitying gaze. Like he's a blind rat staggering in a labyrinth under a watchful eye from the above.
"There's a job to be done, Jon."
Jon pushes away with a sigh, not meeting much resistance, and buries himself into the scattered sheets. Maybe this is the kind of acceptance the underground woman felt in the face of death. He never understood it before, not before a kiss touches his temple and slips onto his cheek. He's not sure he wants the touch. He's not sure if he resents it. Papers slide across the floor, a statement he won't read, not now, not in this room. He kind of expects footsteps and shutting of doors now, but instead Elias gives them some distance and seemingly settles for good, prickly eyes creeping up Jon's spine.
"Do you want to hurt Georgie?"
"No."
"Are you lying?"
"Not to you, Jon."
Jon turns his back on the monster in his bed and doesn't find it in him to care if he doesn't wake up.

(sorry for my bad english!) hii! I found your account and i want to tell you that your stories are, like, a GREAT comfort, the few you have are, it sounds weird but, in my opinion reading stories (or writing) about abusive relationships is an escape route to avoid falling into those relationships in real life, I mean, i read them and i get the adrenaline because of reading it instead of living them dhfjkshfsk so yes, they are also very, very well written <:
can i ask for a story where Connie is a little older thanreader, and constantly manipulates her with the excuse that he knows better and reader believes him, because, for a long time, he was the only older figure she had, something like that, I don't know. , bonus if reader cries hysterically in his arms (his fault, of course, he slapped her or something)
i really agree with your take on the whole writing about traumatic relationships because thatโ€™s how i feel. iโ€™ve been thru so so much and i know itโ€™s different but this is most definitely how i cope, im glad someone else can relate to me especially during these times iโ€™ve felt so alone๐Ÿ’— you english is beautiful by the way, thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š
tw: grooming - reader was 17 when she meant 24 year old connie / mental abuse / physical abuse - from connie and from readers dad / very mean and manipulative? connie / unestablished relationships / not proofread
such a baby
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
โ€œreally thought you were over that stupid shit yโ€™know, (name)?โ€ he looks down at you, sitting on the floor at the foot of the bed and spits, โ€œyouโ€™re still just a fucking kid.โ€
he hates it when you cry. you know he does, he knows he does, so you donโ€™t know why it feels like him making it happen is always his main goal.
you sit there silently looking up at him as he scrolls on his phone. after a couple minutes he puts it down and looks down at you.
โ€œyouโ€™re gonna have to find a place to go.โ€ your eyes widen all the more and you feel your heart beat quicken. it scares you when he says stuff like that. find a place to stay? where could you possibly go? you feel like youโ€™ve been with connie so long, heโ€™s taken care of you for so longโ€ฆ
โ€œw-what?โ€ you get up suddenly, trying to ease your way into his lap. youโ€™re get even more nervous even harder when he meanly pushes you away, you pretty eyes water.
โ€œc-connie..! hic wh-whatโ€” how will iโ€”?โ€ you canโ€™t even finish your sentence youโ€™re so shaken. you really canโ€™t help it, you canโ€™t imagine any life without connie. how could you? heโ€™s the one that took you in, heโ€™s the one that knows exactly what to do when you donโ€™t, he tells you what to do when youโ€™re just about to make the wrong choice. heโ€™s shown you what love is when nobody else could.
while youโ€™re breaking down crying you can tell connieโ€™s losing his patience by the second, heโ€™s getting up waving his hands all type of ways getting all in your face, yelling all types of nonsense.
โ€œdammit (name), shut the fuck up, yโ€™know i hate that crybaby shit, go fix yourself before i do it for youโ€ when you donโ€™t shut up he doesnโ€™t give you a second warning, just slaps you clean across your face. you damn near fly across the room from the impact, connieโ€™s just so much stronger than you.
โ€œโ€”oww ..!โ€ your body shakes as you try to lift yourself up, your crying even harder now. โ€œy-youโ€™re a liarโ€ฆ! you saidโ€”you said hic you were d-done hitting meโ€”!โ€
he stomps over to you, eyes wide and mad while he starts dragging you by your little arm to the front door, โ€œwho the fuck do you think your talking to?! i donโ€™t owe you shit you know that, little girl?!โ€
connie goes to open the front door, โ€œiโ€™m fucking tired, (name) iโ€™ll sleep like a fucking baby without your fucking crying tonightโ€”โ€
when you donโ€™t stop he freaks out a little more. he hates when you donโ€™t listen.
โ€œthink i fucking wonโ€™t?โ€ he gets louder, โ€œthink i wonโ€™t put you out this fucking house, right now?! i donโ€™t give a fuck what time it isโ€”!โ€
connie drags you back to your shared bedroom and starts ripping your clothes out wherever he can find them and putting them in so random bags, while you cry and hyperventilate. he doesnโ€™t give one fuck, to him you deserve this shit. youโ€™re always running your mouth.
โ€œwho got you all this shit, huh?!โ€ he moves on to the vanity and starts packing all your cute little jewelry, breaking some in the process.
he stops for a second and just looks down at you. veins popping out of his neck as he screams, with the bag heโ€™s stuffing all your belonging in tightly gripped in his hand and that mean look of sternness in his eyes, you realize just how how much older connie really is. just how scary he is. with him being 7 years older than you and all, youโ€™ve always put connie on the high horse, always seen it as a flex. but you donโ€™t think youโ€™ve ever really seen it until now. how truly scary he can be.
โ€œyou wanna go back, (name)?โ€ he takes a deep breath. โ€œyou wanna go back to that shit everyday? living in that fucking house, getting treated like some fucking shit?โ€
you sob when he finally lets go of your now bruised arm. he goes to sit on the bed.
you were 17 and connie had just turned 24. it was late out when you ran away from home. you were sick of it. your dad was terrible to you, all the yelling and screaming and the bruisesโ€”you couldnโ€™t take it anymore. connie was one of your friends older cousin, you had meant him at her birthday party and you think you fell in love. he just seemed soโ€ฆmature. at the end of the night when he saw you all alone, he went up to you and asked if you were alright. turns out your dad was pissed so he didnโ€™t pick you up. connie couldnโ€™t be more excited to hear that shit. cute little shy teenager, and sheโ€™s got daddy issues? he hit the jackpot. he ended up taking you home and giving you his number, in case you ever, โ€œneeded anything.โ€
youโ€™d call connie whenever, no matter what. he always knew exactly what to say.
one night your dad blacked your eye and you called connie. connie showed up 8 minutes later and came barging in, beating the shit out of your dad. that was the last night you heard from your dad and the last night you ever werenโ€™t by connieโ€™s side. youโ€™ve been living with him ever since. youโ€™ll never forget that first night he held you in his bed. he whispered about how everything would be ok and how much heโ€™d take care of you. and you believed it.
itโ€™s been only 2 years since then and connieโ€™s still that ever so cool senior that you look up to. you love connie to death and you donโ€™t think you ever wonโ€™t. he knows youโ€™re completely dependent on him now too, he thinks he'll always use it to his advantage.
โ€œyouโ€™re such a baby.โ€ you look up at him and he nearly melts, he wants to fucking ruin you. you eyes are all glossy and swollen from crying, your lips are stilly wobbly from the wailing, and your tearsโ€”donโ€™t even get him started on the fucking tears.
connie thinks about how perfect you are.. youโ€™re already as naive as you could possibly be, but the age gap just puts it more in his favor.
you look in his eyes to see if that gaze is still thereโ€ฆyou know, the loving one even after everything, and it is.
โ€œi love youโ€ฆ.โ€ you whisper it like itโ€™s a curse, anxious for his answer.
connie smiles and kisses your forehead watching you light right back up just from the small gesture.
โ€œi know you do.โ€

"Elvis!"
bang
******
You cringe and shudder as the bullet hits the wall right behind your head. Elvis rips the earpiece out of his ear and tosses it on the ground, stomping on it quickly. Before you even register what's happening, he does the same thing to yours.
"Elvis, what the fuck is going on?!" You ask shakily. He grabs you and pulls you to him, holding you tightly and trembling.
"I just either uncovered two traitors in our organization or betrayed my country."
"Why did you almost shoot me?!" He pulls back and cups your face in both of his hands.
"They told me you were working for the enemy. Tell me that's not true, honey."
"Of course it's not! I swear it, Elvis, I-"
"I trust you." He leans in and kisses you. "I lo-"
Just then the door busts open and multiple armed security guards enter the room, automatic weapons pointed in your direction. Elvis turns and pushes your body behind his. That's when West saunters in.
"Ah, Agent Presley, I knew you would be a problem for me."
"West. I should've known, you fucking rat-"
"I think that's plenty. Grab him, boys." The guards approach Elvis and he fights back, but they get him restrained and drag him away from you. "Her too."
You shake your head as the guards grab you and pull your hands behind your back with zip ties.
"Elvis!"
"It's okay, honey, I'll come for you as soon as I can. It's okay."
But it doesn't feel okay as you're dragged down a hallway to a room away from Elvis. They plop you in a chair and the two armed guards assigned to you circle like sharks.
You sit in the chair trying to assess the situation. Maybe you should just wait for Elvis to come to you. But you are probably significantly less guarded than he is. You can't just wait here. What if they kill him? No. That's too much to even think about.
You look between the guards and try to figure out what to do. As you do, tears begin to stream down your face. How did you get here?
"Shut up that crying." One of the guards yells at you.
"I can't! I don't belong here. I'm just a person. I'm not a spy." You continue to cry hysterically, increasing in both volume and intensity and an idea occurs to you.
"I said shut up!" The guard hits you across the face and you yelp in pain. You don't stop crying though. If anything, that makes it worse. You shudder and hiccup and cry with everything inside you. "I said-"
"I'm sorry! I can't help it! I'm so scared and I don't know what to do! I need my meds." The guards exchange a glance.
"Meds?"
"Yes! For my anxiety. I have them in my pocket. Please." You sob loudly again and the guards look at each other.
"No. Just shut up."
"I literally can't! Please! I won't do anything. I'm just a girl. What would I do?"
"No." He says it shakily. You can tell his resolve is faltering as you continue to sob openly.
"Please! Just cut me free and let me take my medicine. That's all I'll do. I promise." The guards seem to be trying to communicate silently. You whimper and cry and pray that they'll let you free. Finally, one of the guards walks to you and pulls out his knife. The other one shakes his head.
"If this'll shut her up then it'll be worth it." The guard leans down and slices open the zip ties at your wrists.
Before either of them can register what's happening, you rip the gun out of your shoulder holster under your vest and shoot the guard with the gun in the head.
"Oh God. Fuck." You try really hard to ignore what you just did. Your love for Elvis outweighs any other hesitation. You quickly point your gun at the other guard who has his hands raised, daring him to do or say anything.
"I'm going to leave here, and you're going to let me." The confidence in your voice shocks you. But still, you walk to the door and sneak out, leaving the guard standing there in shock.
Alarms blare as you search from room to room for Elvis. You have no idea what you'll do when you find him, but leaving without him is not an option. After a decent amount of time, you open a door and find him sitting in the middle of a room, hands zip tied behind him. Your heart stops when you see him. They've obviously been beating him. To what end, you're not sure, but his face is bloody and swollen and it breaks your heart. You immediately rush over to him, pulling the knife from your boot to cut him free.
"Baby, how did you-?"
"Shhh, Elvis, we need to get out of here." You get him completely cut free and he leans against you as you move towards the door. When you get there, he stops you and kisses you.
"You're incredible. I need to to tell you-"
"Elvis. We really have to go. They'll be here any second." He nods and lets you guide him out the door and up staircases. You manage to make it to the roof without running into anyone else. But once you get up there, you stand there with him wrapped around you, not sure what to do next.
"What's your plan, babe?"
"This was it. I don't know-" You're cut off by the sound of a chopper hovering close to the roof. Elvis pulls his gun out and points it at the helicopter, but the door swings open.
"Get in!" Its Nine. Part of you freezes. Whose side is she on? "All hell's broken loose. Get in the fucking helicopter!"
You decide you don't have a choice and half carry Elvis over to it and climb in. You slam the door and she takes off quickly.
"Well, that didn't go as planned, did it?"
"You could say that." Elvis yells over the sound of the chopper. You make the rest of the journey in silence, but she doesn't take you back to headquarters. Instead, she takes you somewhere else. It's not until you land that you realize you're at some kind of government location. She cuts the engine and the blades slow and you are finally able to speak.
"Where are we?" She looks at you, seemingly trying to decide how much she should tell you.
"Langley. My organization is shot. We need big guns." She leads you into the building and you're greeted by the deputy director of the CIA. Nine does all the talking as you hold Elvis up. He does his best to stand on his own, but you can tell he's in a good deal of pain.
Eventually, they separate you all to tell your pieces of the story. You sit with an agent and tell him everything, starting with the night you downloaded the information.
"And where is that flash drive?"
"We gave it to the Colonel." The agent curses openly.
"That traitorous bastard will be on the first plane to a country that doesn't extradite."
"I'm sorry."
"We'll get it back." You continue your conversation until he finally dismisses you. He takes you down to the cafeteria to eat something and then brings you back up to a waiting area of sorts. They appear to do the same with Elvis and he sits next to you about an hour after you sit down.
He immediately turns to you and wraps you in a hug, kissing your cheek.
"Honey, I'm so glad you're okay. I thought I'd lost you." He gently brushes his thumb across your face and looks into your eyes.
"I'm right here. We made it out."
"Yes, but you failed the mission." Nine appears, looking between the two of you cuddled together in the chairs. "You're obviously fired, Agent Presley."
"I know I should care, but right now, I really don't." He looks back to you, his hand on your face again.
"Good. That means you can work for me." The deputy director chimes in, interrupting your moment with Elvis.
"Work for you? Here?" You ask genuinely curious.
"Yes, here. The mission still needs to be completed. I'd like to have you both work here to make sure it gets done. Once that is complete, we will consider you for other projects in the future. Our concern is your skill, not your relationship status." Elvis looks to you as you nod and smile and then up at the deputy director.
"I think we can make that happen, boss." He stands up and shakes his hand, grimacing with the pain of getting on his feet.
"But not today. You two need some time to recover. We will resume the mission in 48 hours." Nine nods to the deputy director.
"We'll put them back in the safe house until then."
You both breathe a sigh of relief that you'll be alone again soon.
******
It's dark when you finally get back to the safe house. Elvis is really glad to see his Stutz is still there. He unlocks the door and you both drop your bags on the floor and wrap yourselves around each other, but he winces and pulls back.
"I'm sorry-"
"Don't apologize. Let's just get you cleaned up." You take him into the bathroom and manage to find a bowl and washcloth. He leans against the counter as you gently dab at his face to remove the dried blood. When you finish, he takes your hand and kisses your palm softly.
"Thank you, baby." He's dying to tell you what he's been trying to get out all day, but his exhaustion gets the better of him.
"Okay, let's get you into bed. You need rest." He nods and allows you to lead him into the bedroom.
You sit him on the edge of the bed and begin to undress him carefully. He grimaces as you move him to remove his jacket and shirt. The bruises on his ribs are starting to turn dark purple and it breaks your heart to see them. Your fingers are featherlight as you graze them over his skin.
"Oh, Elvis."
"It's not so bad."
"You don't have to play tough for me." He pulls you down into a kiss. Keeping his lips pressed to yours, he turns and lays back on the bed, bringing you down with him, his hand on the side of your face. He backs away from the kiss and his eyes flick between yours quickly. It's like he's trying to decide something. You stare into his eyes silently waiting and he finally opens his mouth.
"Baby, there's something I've been trying to tell you all day." Your heart flutters as he moves a piece of hair out of your face.
"Yeah?" He swallows hard. You can tell he's nervous too.
"And you don't have to say anything. I know it's quick, but I just can't wait anymore."
"Elvis-"
"I love you." It hangs in the air like something tangible, falling on you like soft rain drops. You close your eyes and let it wash over you. "Baby?"
Your eyes open and you lean in and kiss his cheek. You kiss above his eye where there's a deep cut. Then you kiss his other cheek, the end of his nose, his jawline, his forehead, and finally land at his lips. Then, you whisper.
"I love you too." He pulls you in to kiss you deeply and presses his forehead to yours.
"You do?"
"Of course I do." He smiles and kisses you again and then backs off quickly, grunting in pain. You kiss his neck and start to move down his chest, softly pressing your lips to the places where the bruises are forming. He whimpers as you leave a trail of kisses down his abdomen to the line of hair that leads down into his pants. You undo his belt and begin to strip him from the waist down.
"Honey, I want nothing more than to make love to you, but I can't really move-"
"Then don't. Be still and let me take care of you." His cock bounces free, standing at full attention, as you remove his pants and settle between his legs.
"Honey-OH!" He leans his head back and moans loudly as you take him in your mouth. You use one hand to push his foreskin back and then pull him deeply into your throat. "Goddamn, baby, that's good."
His hand goes to your hair and he grabs a handful as you bob up and down on his dick. You run your tongue up the bottom of his shaft and then lick a slow circle around the head. Then, you go back to bouncing up and down and pull him into your throat again. His hips buck and he moans and you know he won't last much longer if you keep this up. You pull off of him and stand up next to the bed, stripping off all of your clothes. He reaches up and touches your body, squeezing your breast gently, dragging his thumb across your nipple, and then moving down to your center where he rubs circles on your clit.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You have me body and soul, honey."
"I'm yours, Elvis." You whisper as you climb on top of him and straddle his hips. He groans as you sink down onto him, taking his whole cock inside you. You start to slowly grind against him, pushing him even deeper and he whimpers. "Does it hurt?"
"God, no, baby." You smile and lift your hips, sliding him back into you as you lower yourself. He grabs your hips and holds them, moving you up and down on himself sensually. "Mmm I'm not gonna last long."
"That's okay." He moves one hand back to your center and moves his thumb on your clit. "Me neither, if you do that."
You throw your head back as you ride him a little quicker and he continues to rub your sensitive bud. You moan softly and sweat as he groans and tenses under you.
"Cum with me baby. I'm so close."
"Yes, fuck. Me too!"
You both move a little faster, trying to push the other over the edge. Finally, your climax bursts inside you and you come so hard just as he grunts and bucks his hips up into you one last time, filling you with his release. You shudder and pulse around him as he trembles and groans. He pulls you down to his chest and holds you close as you both try to catch your breath.
"I love you, Elvis." He kisses the top of your head and sighs.
"I love you too, baby." He mumbles and you lay in silence for a few minutes before you realize his breathing has evened out. You look up at him and smile. He's asleep. For the first time in days, you feel completely relaxed and drift off to sleep in his arms.
******
For 48 glorious hours, you're in the safe house enjoying the bliss of being together uninterrupted. At the end of it, you dress again for the mission and he kisses your forehead with his arms wrapped around you.
"No matter what happens, remember that I love you. We can do this, baby." You nod and snuggle into his chest.
He drives the Blackhawk back to Langley and you both get out and walk in. You're led to the roof where there's a helicopter waiting for you. You find yourself again with a voice in your ear telling what to do and you start to have flashbacks to the last time you did this. Your anxiety hits the roof. Elvis can feel the change in your demeanor and he reaches over to take your hand and squeeze it gently. He gives you a smile and you breathe a little easier. Something about having him close by makes you feel like you can do anything.
Next thing you know, you're being dropped on the roof again. Security shows up a little quicker this time, but you make it inside. There are more armed guards and it's harder to make it to your destination. Elvis also has a harder time fighting hand to hand with all of his injuries. Still, you're doing okay and making it to your destination.
"One last corner, baby, then we're in the room." You nod and Elvis grabs the back of your neck and pulls you into a kiss. He's smiling at you, distracted, when he walks around the corner.
bang

Everything is in slow motion as you watch in horror while Elvis's body hits the floor in front of you. Somehow, you think fast enough though to pull your gun before you turn the corner and shoot the guard. Turns out your aim is pretty good and he hits the floor too. You frantically kneel next to Elvis and watch as his fingers turn red where he holds the wound.
"Oh God."
"Angel! What is it? Is Agent Presley down?" Nine asks sternly in your earpiece.
"Yes!" You holler shakily in response.
"You have to continue. We will send someone to help."
"No! I'm not leaving him."
"Angel, you have to-" You rip the earpiece out and set it on the ground, turning your attention to Elvis where he lays on the floor in what is quickly becoming a pool of blood.
"You have to stop the bleeding." He growls, grabbing your hand.
"What? Elvis-" Your voice comes out a panic-stricken screech.
"You can do it. You need to cover the wound and then tie something around it to keep it in place."
"Keep it in place? I'll just hold it?" You strip off your vest and press it against the wound, holding it down as tightly as you can.
"You have to tie it in place so you can finish the mission."
"No! I'm not-"
"Listen to me. If you don't finish this, then it's all for nothing. Please. You have to do this. For me." His blue eyes plead with you and you know you can't tell him no. You rip your shirt off and tie the sleeves around him tightly to hold your vest in place on his bullet wound. Left in just your undershirt, you shiver a little, but you'd give every article of clothing to save him.
"I don't think I can do this."
"You can and you will, baby." He reaches up to touch your face, but his fingers are covered in blood. You grab his hand in yours and kiss the back of it. "I love you."
"I love you too. Please don't die." He smiles weakly.
"I'm not plannin' on it. Now go." You snatch the earpiece off the ground and stuff it back in your ear. Giving Elvis one last quick kiss, you stand and look up and down the hallway. You hear someone coming and pray that it's help and not another guard, but just in case it is, you quickly slide into the room and lock the door behind you.
Breathing deeply, you walk to the computer and start your part of the mission. Surprisingly, no one bothers you and you're able to download evidence of West's and the Colonel's treason with no issues. Then, you plant a virus given to you by the tech team at the CIA and watch as their system begins to crumble. That's when the alarms go off.
You sneak back out into the hallway, gun drawn, but there's no one there. Even Elvis is gone and there's nothing but a bloodstain where he was lying. You say another quick prayer that he's been rescued and not found by the wrong people. Miraculously, you make it back up to the roof without having to shoot anyone else. It seems like everyone is too busy dealing with the system crash to find you.
You run to the chopper as it lands on the roof and jump in, expecting to see Elvis there. But he's not. The helicopter is empty except for the pilot. You scream at him that you have to go back, that you're not leaving Elvis behind, but he ignores you, taking off as soon as the door is shut. He can't hear you over the sound of the blades, so he doesn't notice that you cry hysterically the whole way back to Langley.
Back in the building, you stomp and scream at anyone that will listen, begging them to tell you where he is. They shake their heads and tell you they don't know and you become more frantic by the second. Finally, you locate Nine and run to her.
"Where the fuck is he?!"
"Angel, calm down-"
"No. I want to know where he is! Did you leave him there?!" She purses her lips.
"Of course we didn't leave him! He's in surgery. It doesn't look good. If you'd stop screaming, I could take you to the hospital."
"Surgery? No." All of the adrenaline that was keeping you standing is sucked out of you when you realize he may not make it. You fall to the ground weeping quietly. "He's going to die and it's all my fault."
"I said he's in surgery. They're still working. Don't give up on him yet. Come on." She drags you up off the floor and half carries you to her car.
At the hospital, the doctor comes to you to explain what's happening, but all you hear is that he's in critical condition, has lost a lot of blood, and they're not sure they can get him back. You nervously pace the hospital waiting room, chewing your nails until they bleed. Nine watches you, in awe of your dedication to him. Several hours later, she tries to encourage you to take a break.
"Angel, why don't you go take a shower and change. Eat something." For the first time, you realize you're still in your undershirt, dirty and covered in Elvis's blood. You haven't eaten in almost 14 hours.
"I can't leave him."
"Then at least sit down." You nod and drop into the chair next to her, your exhaustion winning out. "You really love him, don't you?"
"I do. I can't lose him."
"I hope you don't." She pats your hand awkwardly. You can tell she's not one for conversations about feelings. But you are grateful that she hasn't left you alone. You're about to tell her as much when the doctor comes back. You immediately stand up and walk to him quickly.
"Doctor, what-"
"He's alive." Your heart skips and you breathe for the first time in hours. "It was touch and go and he has a long recovery ahead of him, but he is alive. I can take you to him."
"God, yes, thank you doctor." He leads you down a hallway to a room. It's dark with lots of beeping machines and you nearly lose it again when you see Elvis laying there on the bed. He seems almost childlike in his vulnerability and it makes you love him even more. You go to his side and sit down, gently taking his hand.
"He won't be awake for a while. You can go home-"
"No. I'll stay." The doctor shrugs.
"Alright, then. Let us know if you need anything." He leaves you alone and you lay your forehead on the bed. The exhaustion hits you and you're sound asleep in minutes.
You wake up to the sun peeking in through the curtains and a nurse there to check his vitals. You sit up quickly and look at him.
He smiles warmly.
"Hey, honey, you're awake."
"I'm awake? You're awake! Why didn't you wake me up?!" He reaches out and caresses your cheek gently.
"You were sleepin' so good, baby. I didn't want to bother ya."
"Elvis Presley, I could slap you right now."
"Please don't. I'm still in a lot of pain." You smile despite yourself and then start to giggle. He tries to laugh with you, but it hurts. Then, your giggles turn to sniffles as the tears start to slide down your cheeks. You wrap your arms around him and kiss him gently on the lips and then on the cheek. "Aw, honey, now why are you crying?"
He catches your tears with his thumbs and wipes them away.
"I thought I'd lost you." He pulls your face down to his and presses his forehead against yours.
"Baby, it's gonna take a lot more than that to get rid of me." You smile and close your eyes. "I love you."
He whispers and you whisper in return.
"I love you too."
******
One year later
You're in the kitchen staring at water and waiting for it to boil when you hear the front door open.
"And just what kind of time do you call this?" You holler to him. He saunters into the kitchen.
"Some of us have real jobs that require paperwork." He walks up behind you and wraps his arms around your waist, setting his chin on your shoulder. "We don't all get to work in a cushy office at headquarters."
You turn to face him and he kisses you tenderly.
"Listen, it's not my fault you botched that job and had to fill out a report. The direction I gave you was good, you just weren't listening."
"I was a little distracted. I kept thinking about you naked on top of me last night." You gasp playfully.
"You naughty boy."
"You love me." He kisses you again.
"I do love you, Agent Presley." He smiles and you kiss the end of his nose.
"I love you too, Agent Presley." This time he kisses you deeply, sliding his tongue into your mouth. You completely forget about the water you were waiting to boil as he lifts you into his arms and carries you to the bedroom.
He was right about one thing on the night you met him. You never needed that pink vibrator again.
******
The End!

cw: angst, slight mention of blood, character death
a few months pass by after you and your husband sanemiโ€™s 25th birthday and both of you remain alive and in good health, so you think thereโ€™s nothing to worry about anymore. that you both safely overcame the demise caused by your demon slayer marks that the two of you had already awakened during the final battle against muzan, that your life with him will be filled with nothing but happiness from this point onwards.
only to realize, in the hardest way possible, when one day sanemi collapses on the floor all of a sudden right in front of you, that all of these thoughts about spending the rest of your lives together happily were just foolish wishes of yours that will never become a reality.
you immediately rush to him, holding him in your arms as you put your hand on his forehead that is burning hot. he also seems to struggle with breathing as he starts panting more frequently. you feel your heart clenching tightly inside your chest.
โ€œy/nโ€ฆโ€ sanemi says your name in a faint voice thatโ€™s unfamiliar to your ears. you desperately try to remain positive, suppressing a stream of hot tears from flowing down your cheeks.
โ€œnemiโ€ฆ youโ€™ll be okay, everything will be okay. i promise you.โ€ your voice is as shaky as ever, and you cup his scarred cheeks in the palm of your hands as you softly kiss his forehead.
โ€œt-this might be the last time i see you, so i just want to thank you for everything, thank you for loving me. meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. i love you so much, my dear y/n.โ€ things get worse when he starts coughing blood, and in this moment you feel your vision getting blurred by your tears that you tried hard to suppress earlier.
sanemi slowly extends his calloused hand and softly caresses your cheeks as he leans forward to place his lips on top of yours in a long kiss as he tries to savor the taste of your lips for as long as possible before he can no longer feel them. such a sweet yet painful bloodly kiss that leaves you feeling overwhelmed.
you helplessly watch as the light and life in sanemiโ€™s eyes start to fade, his eyelids slowly shut, his hand that once caressed your cheek not too long ago hits the ground. you scream his name on the top of your lungs but to no avail, he can no longer hear you. it hits you like a truck in this exact moment that this was your last moment with him, the last time you hear him say that he loves you, and the last time you feel his lips crashing against yours. this is truly the end.
โ€œoh God why didnโ€™t you take me with him, why do i have to stay here alone without himโ€ฆโ€ you wail endlessly.
your beloved husband, whom you love more than anyone else, even more than yourself, is now dead. he died and took your heart with him. you cry hysterically mourning his loss until you could no longer feel anything anymore.
โ€œuntil we meet again, my one and only love, my nemi.โ€ still tightly holding onto his lifeless, you place one last kiss on his forehead before you let him go.

If I Should Stay
Ngl Iโ€™m kinda REALLY excited for yโ€™all to read this one, though Iโ€™m also slightly worried I bit off more than I can chew.
Part 1 | . . . | Part 20 | Part 21 | Part 22
Steve gets Joyce situated in a guest room then heads back downstairs. Just as he opens his mouth to address the group, the front door opens.
โ€œSteve? Whoโ€™s here?โ€ A semi-familiar voice calls. โ€œThereโ€™s bikes and cars all over.โ€
She rounds the corner and Steve is faced with a younger version of his mother, who blinks at everyone gathered in the living room, then smiles at them. โ€œHi! Iโ€™m Alli.โ€
Steve feels like heโ€™s going to fall over. All the bloodโ€™s drained from his head and his heart gives a painful lurch. โ€œRobin,โ€ he manages, reaching out to grab her without taking his eyes off Alli. โ€œRobin. Now.โ€
โ€œโ€˜Scuse us, just a minute!โ€ Robin says as she drags Steve upstairs and into the bathroom. He slides down the wall and digs his fingers into his hair as she shuts and locks the door.
โ€œOkay,โ€ she murmurs, placing gentle fingers on Steveโ€™s forearms. โ€œWeโ€™re alone. Whatโ€™s going on?โ€
He swallows a hysterical sob. โ€œAlli,โ€ he manages to whisper. โ€œAllison. M-my sister.โ€ He gulps, feels like heโ€™s going to throw up. โ€œThe last time I saw her, I was seven. She was sixteen. Sheโ€™d left for aโ€ฆ a girlsโ€™ trip in Indy. Weโ€™d t-talked on the phone the night before she left to come back home. She was so excitedโ€ฆ gonna go out to dinner, one last time. They walked.โ€ He canโ€™t swallow the sob in time and throws himself into Robinโ€™s waiting arms. โ€œS-she got hit,โ€ he whispers. โ€œDrunk driver.โ€ She gasps. โ€œDead before she hit the ground, according to the paramedics.โ€ He begins to shake. โ€œHowโ€™s she alive, Robs? How? She- we- I-โ€
โ€œI know,โ€ Robin murmurs, holding him close. โ€œOh, Steve. Iโ€™m so sorry. But sheโ€™s here, sheโ€™s okay. And youโ€™ll be okay, I promise. Itโ€™ll be okay.โ€ She hugs him tighter, lets him scrabble at her back until he finds purchase, digging his fingers into her shoulder blades.
A tentative knock on the door. โ€œMe again,โ€ Eddie says. Itโ€™s enough to make Steve huff half a laugh. โ€œI think everyoneโ€™s kinda wondering whatโ€™s happening. And, uh. Iโ€™m wondering if youโ€™re okay.โ€
Robin smoothes a hand down his hair. โ€œWant me to let him in?โ€ She whispers. He nods against her neck. โ€œMโ€™kay. Want me to stay? Or should I go do damage control?โ€
He sits back and sniffs. โ€œShould probably go,โ€ he admits. โ€œSorry, Robbie.โ€
โ€œHey,โ€ she murmurs, leaning their foreheads together. โ€œYou and me against the fuckinโ€™ world, okay?โ€
โ€œOkay,โ€ he whispers, managing a smile when she kisses his forehead.
She stands and opens the door, smiles wanly at Eddie. โ€œIโ€™ll let him explain.โ€ She slips past him and down the stairs.
Eddie shakes his head as he watches her before turning to Steve, who clocks the exact moment Eddie realizes heโ€™s crying. โ€œSteve?โ€
Steve sniffs again, rubs at his face. โ€œYeah.โ€
โ€œUm.โ€ Eddie sits on the ground, back against the sink, mirroring Steve. โ€œYou alright?โ€
Steve laughs humorlessly. โ€œNot in the least.โ€ He shakes his head with a sigh. โ€œWith youโ€ฆ I knew. Right? I knew I was coming back, I knew Iโ€™d see you again. But her-โ€
Eddie blinks, frowns. โ€œYour sister? Did you have aโ€ฆ a falling out, or something?โ€
Steve knocks his head back against the wall. โ€œIf only it were that easy,โ€ he murmurs. โ€œLast time I saw her, I was seven. She was sixteen, on a girlsโ€™ trip in Indy. Drunk driver hit her.โ€ He swallows, tries to keep the tears in this time. โ€œThey were walking, it wasnโ€™t that far from where they were staying. She was dead before she hit the ground.โ€
โ€œWell, shit,โ€ Eddie mutters.
Steve opens his eyes to regard Eddie. โ€œPretty much.โ€
Eddie opens his mouth, then shuts it with a frown. Finally he says, โ€œI donโ€™t know how to make it better, but I do have a joint.โ€
Steve laughs, only a little hysterically. โ€œMaybe later. I want to, butโ€ฆโ€
โ€œYou want to see your sister,โ€ Eddie nods. โ€œDo you have any idea how sheโ€™s here?โ€
Steve scoffs. โ€œNot in the least. Iโ€™m sure Dustinโ€™ll have at least one theory, though.โ€
Eddie chuckles. โ€œHe probably will.โ€
They sit in silence for a few minutes, until Steve feels like he can face the worldโ€”face Alliโ€” without immediately crying again. He sighs. โ€œHow do I look?โ€
Eddie regards him. โ€œBetter than I thought you would,โ€ he says, then peers closer. โ€œDamn, Harrington, the hell kinda genes you got to not look like a mess after sobbing?โ€
Steve chuckles at that. โ€œThanks,โ€ he says, which he knows isnโ€™t really an answer. โ€œStill kinda feel gross, though.โ€
โ€œWell, yeah, dude, youโ€™re still covered in Upside Down shit.โ€
Steve grimaces. โ€œDonโ€™t remind me,โ€ he says, and they both chuckle. He manages a small, genuine smile at Eddie. โ€œThanks, though. Youโ€™re kinda really great at making me feel better.โ€
Eddie blushes a little, but his gaze is steady when it locks on Steveโ€™s. โ€œIโ€™m glad.โ€

Random selection of Pokeguys with this old classic:
Character: โ€œI wasnโ€™t that drunk last night!โ€
โ€œYou were flirting with S/O.โ€
Character: โ€œSo? Heโ€™s my boyfriend.โ€
โ€œYou asked him if he was single.โ€
โ€œAnd then cried when he said he wasnโ€™t.โ€
โ€ฆ you guys know the one Iโ€™m talking about right? A big fandom meme but I canโ€™t find the og, if there even was a non fandom-affiliated og. This is probably really convoluted for a shitpost lmao Iโ€™m sorry, this is just silly goofiness to me while I wait for requests and the guys here were just kinda picked by who I thought would be the most fun to write.
Content warnings: alcohol consumption and drunkenness
Adaman
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” Emotionally devastated but trying so hard not to show it
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” Considering he was sloppy-ass drunk enough to ask you, HIS BOYFRIEND, if you were single thatโ€™s not really something heโ€™s doing great at
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” โ€œOh nooo thatโ€™s soโ€ฆ Iโ€™m sorryโ€ฆ oh noooo youโ€™re just so pretty :(โ€œ
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” He stares vacantly off into the distance, holding back tears while you stare at him and wonder how long itโ€™s gonna take for him to realize.
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” Itโ€™s kinda pathetic so you give up the joke and tell him the truth, to which he ACTUALLY bursts into tears.
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” โ€œHweuuuhhh Mighty Dialga is truly gracious and kind to have blessed me with your love Iโ€™m so luckyyyyyyyyyโ€
๐Ÿ’Ž โ€” Just leans against you and sobs for a while, while you pet his hair and try to console him and insist this is real life, and that youโ€™re sorry about the trick. Mai and Irida, who are watching the whole thing, are NOT sorry you pulled this one because itโ€™s fucking hysterical
Melli
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” WAILS
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” Cue incoherent sobbing into your shoulder about why Mighty Dialga hates him so much that it would torment him with the ethereal beauty that you are that heโ€™s forbidden to have
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” If only they existed in Hisui, you might want to grab a velvet chaise for him to lay on and sob dramatically in a very theatrical pose
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” When you finally give up the joke and tell him that the person youโ€™re dating is, in fact, him, itโ€™s like you just clicked the off switch. I mean, the tears are definitely still flowing but he shuts up instantly and stares at you like youโ€™ve grown a second head.
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” Then starts fanning his face, still clearly crying while trying to look all smug and confident.
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” โ€œHMMMMMPH of course I knew that, only I would be worthy of your company anywayโ€ (still visibly crying a river)
๐Ÿ’™ โ€” Clings to your side the entire night and also looks like a pathetic wet rat while he does it
Red
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” :(
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” visible despair
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” sad shinji meme
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” he just kind of. sulks. pouting very dramatically.
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” I mean good for you and whoever youโ€™re seeing but heโ€™s very drunk and to him youโ€™re like the hottest man on earth right now??
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” Eventually you put your arm around him and hit him with the โ€œRed honey, I was talking about you. Youโ€™re the other person Iโ€™m seeing.โ€
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” โ€ฆ
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” :,D
๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” prommy????
Ingo
โšซ๏ธ โ€” INSTANT ugly crying but not for the reason you think actually.
โšซ๏ธ โ€” โ€œWAUUGH PLEASE FORGIVE MY RUDENESS I DIDNโ€™T MEAN TO IMPOSE I AM SO IGNORANT PLEASE TELL YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER Iโ€™M SORRYYYYYYโ€
โšซ๏ธ โ€” I mean yeah, heโ€™s also upset youโ€™re apparently not single but all he can think about is how much he must have offended you and AUGH youโ€™re so handsome and sweet and he was so clueless please donโ€™t take it personally he doesnโ€™t really know whatโ€™s gotten into him!!!
โšซ๏ธ โ€” Probably the one you have to drop the joke the fastest with because you were NOT expecting this reaction at all and between all the sobbing and shouting youโ€™re starting to worry about when the last time he actually took a breath was.
โšซ๏ธ โ€” You end up needing to rub his back and scream your own apologies to him because you were only joking, the person you were dating is HIM!
โšซ๏ธ โ€” At this heโ€™s now just crying for a different reason, because heโ€™s so lucky and youโ€™re so handsome and he doesnโ€™t know what he did to deserve this.
โšซ๏ธ โ€” He calms down pretty fast after that, but never mention that incident to him again
โšซ๏ธ โ€” He already doesnโ€™t drink much and remembering how dramatic and off kilter he was being that night just has him actually wanting to curl up in a hole and just. Live there.
Emmet
โšช๏ธ โ€” โ€œOh! Okay then!โ€
โšช๏ธ โ€” Youโ€™re a bit surprised by his unfazed reaction for being absolutely piss drunk, but after delivering that line he immediately pivots on his heel and speedwalks the hell away.
โšช๏ธ โ€” You call his name at first, and when he doesnโ€™t respond and also looks DEAD SET on leaving whatever event you guys are at, you have to run after him calling his name all the while.
โšช๏ธ โ€” Drunk Emmet thought process: Dear lord, Iโ€™ve made a horrible mistake. I am extremely embarrassed. Iโ€™m going to immediately vacate the area and probably never come back.
โšช๏ธ โ€” You practically corner him because he is so, so fixated on leaving out of sheer embarrassment when you explain you were just messing with him and the person youโ€™re already dating? Thatโ€™s him.
โšช๏ธ โ€” By the look on his face, he practically needs one of those little buffering wheels above his head, because he is thinking HARD about this. His entire worldview has shattered. The earth has stopped turning. His wig is gone.
โšช๏ธ โ€” Eventually he justโ€ฆ climbs into your arms and lets you take him back to where you guys were. Both extremely embarrassed for a totally different reason now while simultaneously being in complete and total awe that sober him scored someone like you. Woah.

Hi, I'm here to ask you to write something about the reader arguing with his parents and running away and how Loki sensing that you need him reaches out to you and comforts you? okay I don't even know how to explain it, you see as long as it's something fluffy. thanks and a hugโค๏ธ.
Home
Loki x male reader
"Why do you always have to hurt your mother and I like this?!" Your father screamed holding your mother who was hysterically crying, this was a familiar sight in your household but lord knows your tired of this, you didnโ€™t do anything wrong, they always play the victims.
"You know what?! Iโ€™m leaving how about that!?" You ran out, not thinking where to go exactly but all you knew is that you wanted to be as far as you can from them, and they can go find another son to be up to their expectations since youโ€™re such a failure.
Time passed and all you could do is cry silently out of frustration, they just couldnโ€™t try to understand, they were so stubborn and it hurt.
At one point you heard footsteps and hid yourself more, making yourself smaller and grabbed a long twig from beside one of the tree, it wouldnโ€™t do much but the least you can do is leave a scratch.
But then you saw boots, leather boots, same once as the ones youโ€™ve seen a million times before and before you could register๏ฟผ who it was he sat down beside you on the ground and warped his arm around your shoulders bringing you close to him.
"Youโ€™re a bit of a wild case arenโ€™t you?" Lokiโ€™s voice rang in your ears.
"How did you find me?"
"I just know"
You sniffed and laid your head on his shoulder "I donโ€™t even know why I even both with them, it seems like nothing I do is enoughโ€ฆ.Iโ€™m just a burden on them"
"You listen to yourself, you sound like me and thatโ€™s not a good look for you" Loki rubbed your shoulder, it was freezing outside and in your fit of rage left the house with nothing but your sweatpants and plain t-shirt.
"You shouldโ€™ve came to me you know that"
"Iโ€™m not a little kidโ€ฆIโ€™m a grown man, I donโ€™t need you to baby me whenever Iโ€™m not feeling ok" In truth you just didnโ€™t want to burden him as well, it was enough that he worried over you most than others.
"I dislike like it when you lie to me, I know youโ€™re independent and grown but you still need peopleโ€ฆbeing alone is not something you should get used too, Iโ€™m here you know"
You shut your eyes close, you didnโ€™t want to cry again, you just felt tired and emotionally drained.
"I donโ€™t want to go homeโ€ฆ"
"Am I not your home?" Your chest tingled and then you looked up at him, his green eyes pierced into yours.
"โ€ฆ.you can be my home?"
Loki chuckled "Iโ€™ve always been your home you silly boy, you just havenโ€™t realized it yet"
"When did you become so sentimental?๏ฟผ" You laughed softly, Loki looked down at you smirking then slide his hand to your waist and tickled you "Stop! Shit no!" You squirmed away trying to escape but it was far too late.
"A grown man defeated by a god what a story" He teased.
"Oh letโ€™s just leave you idiot"
Loki helped you up, dusting you up and charming some shoes on your bare feet and warming you up.
The walk back to the tower was silent but you didnโ€™t need words to know that everything will be alright, Loki was here anyways.

hey its the anon who had the scenario i wanted to ask about. Ok so what if PC managed to skip town. Like ok let me break it down. PC when they got this deal was at the police station for their crimes and was about to be sent to prison and they were just thinking about how their life managed to lead up to this point. And they start crying you know cause they didnt want to steal but they had to to get enough money for robin and themself. And now because of Baileys stupid demands they are now being sent to prison for their crimes. But then the guard opened up their waiting cell thing and this woman came in offering a job. One that according to her needed the expertise of someone like them. When PC asks if the job includes them being a criminal the woman just laughs and says the job isnt anything like that. Its a job that helps people. Helps people that are in the sex trafficking ring get out and live life again. And that they needed someone that is good at gettibg away wihtout leaving evidence and has fighting skills in them. The woman offers PC a place to live as well and a ticket to leave this town should they choose to accept. So of course PC accepts it.
Now the thing is PC doesnt tell anyone this. Not even Robin and especially not Bailey. They know Bailey wouldnt want to let go of his best moneymaker and it would just break poor Robins heart if PC told him they were skipping town. So they simply plan to escape the orphanage duribg midnight and meet the woman at pub street at the train station. The only people that knows PC would be leaving is Jordan and Leighton. Jordan because PC is a temple initiate so of course they have to tell him should they be leaving town permanently. Leighton so he could write in his records that PC would be transferribg to another school.ย 
And the plan succeeds. PC managed to successfully escape town without any of the yanderes foiling their plan! So how do the YAN DOL cast react? I know the School Li would know of this from their teachers telling them PC transferred. Who would find out first besides the people I have already mentioned? Would they try to get to PC or just wait in Rapechester?
Wow ok so that was a doozy. Would love to see your thoughts on this tho! Take care of yourself and have a nice day.
(I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't mean to take this long promie. I was out of it and everything got away from me)

Whitneyย 
Absolutely ruined, he's got no clue why you'd leave him high and dry like this especially after he claimed you as his. He's not having a good time and he's fucking sick of not having you around anymore. As soon as school is over he's hunting you down with nothing but brass knuckles and spite.ย 
You escaped and that's not how things work around here. You should know that. He's made sure to drill it into your thick skull and yet you left without so much as a goodbye. He's tracking you down and dragging you home. Not to the orphanage. You are staying with him.ย

Robin
He absolutely can't handle it himself he's crying every day and can't eat or sleep or handle himself at all. He calls around he can't find you. He wants things to work out but he can't see it happening. Robin is trying his best to keep it together but he becomes a terrible shut-in. would probably die in the orphanage alone.ย

Kylar
Coming after you no exceptions. He's looking through everything he's going through hospital records school records he's digging through baileys stuff and intimidating students. The man is hysterical and panicking. He packs up a bag and promises his parents he'll be back soon before he hits the road. When he does finally track you down he's so happy to see you he's crying. You haven't changed a bit! That's what hell insists on before he knocks you out and drags you back to his home. Youre never getting out of the basement now. (he took your legs)

Pure Sydney is regretfully relieved. Though sad. You were too tempting. You were a lot to handle and he's thankful that youre no longer distracting him and causing issues but he misses you. And he waits for you to come back. He plans on marrying you still.ย 
Corrupt Sydney is a bit worse. He bothers people in town about where they think you went he causes problems he tries to track you down but doesn't get very far. He's sent back to therapy by Sirrisโ€ฆย

Let's be fair. You never escaped Eden. He's on high alert all the time. Even if you did manage to get away from his grasp he found you first and dragged you to the cabin. He keeps you held down and in the cage every time you mention leaving. He's not great with letting things go. And he's even worse when you mention needing space.ย

Avery
Avery thinks this is fine. And it is fine. Youre just an aid date after all he can always get another one. But it still bothers him. Thinking yore out there somewhere. Indulging someone else probably. He says he is okay. He thinks he is even when he drags other orphans who look exactly like you on dates. He makes them respond to your name. He chokes them when they slip up. He is much less patient with them. After a little while he pays a private investigator to find you.ย 
It only takes a couple of months for Avery to show up to your new job. In person.ย

One Sunny Day
(Stardew Valley)(Haley x Female Farmer)
Chapter 20: Haley's POV
A bright flash of light followed by a click wakes me with a start from my slumber I didn't even know I fell into. When I opened my eyes, I noticed I'm looking at the coffee table that's in our living room. I furrow my brows in confusion as to why I am on the couch.
Before even getting up, I can already feel my whole body aching, along with my head pounding in pain. Although, I feel a slow up and down motion coming from under my head. I sit up a little too fast because my head throbs in extreme pain.
"Owwww!" I whine while grabbing my head. When I look down at what I was laying on, it was not a sight I was expecting. I let out a gasp and cover my mouth in disbelief.
Danny is sprawled out on the couch under me. Arms flailed in either direction with one hanging off the edge and one draped over the arm of the couch behind her head. Her mouth is hung open, drool nearly escaping from the corner of her mouth. Her clothes are disheveled and wrinkled with the hem of her tank top rolled up, exposing her perfectly toned stomach.
What really gets me though, is her mouth, cheeks, and neck are absolutely smeared with pink lipstick. MY pink lipstick. Along with the lipstick on her collarbone, I notice a few purple blotches forming on her skin. Hickeys.
Jumping up from the way I was sitting and straddling Danny's waist on the couch, I took several steps back, still covering my mouth with my hand.
"Good thing you'll never forget this moment now!" Emily sings as she hands me my camera.
"You took a picture?!" I hiss back, trying to be quiet so as to not wake Danny. My head also hurts too much for loud noises right now anyway.
"Sure did. You're welcome," Emily laughs as she walks away.
Frantically, I start pacing back and forth along the hardwood floor. I don't know what to do about Danny.
Will she remember anything that happened?ย I think to myself. Part of me hopes she does because I don't remember anything at all. I want someone to inform me of whatever went on last night because the aftermath is quite suggestive.
I take another, guilty pleasure look at Danny sprawled out on the couch. Everything about her is so breathtaking that it's hard to pull my gaze away. To me, she has always seemed like a goddess. The feelings that started to form when she first moved to Pelican Town I knew were not jealousy. I knew I didn't want to be like her, or have her hairstyle, or anything like that. That feeling was one that yearned to be WITH her which is something I've never felt before.
When I first got to see her personality, it made my thoughts and feelings intensify. Somehow, she manages to be gorgeous, kind, hot, and respectful all at the same time. This girl single handedly made me question my entire sexuality.
Sure I have occasionally checked out another girl when I visit Zuzu City or have thought about kissing them, but I thought all girls did that. I thought it was normal. But, I also liked being with Alex and making out with random guys at the bar, or so I thought. All of my experiences with guys are just incomparable now that Danny has entered my life. There just seems to be a brighter spark when I'm around her, one I've never felt with a guy.
A small stir from the couch snaps me out of my thoughts. Panicked and without thinking, I darted into the bathroom and shut the door. I dramatically slide down the back of it and land, butt first, on the cold floor. I scrunch my knees up to my chest and start bawling hysterically into my knees.
"Why did my first time hooking up with a girl have to be when I'm drunk?" I sob, muffled by my knees, "Why did I have to forget everything that happened... and why did it have to be with Danny?" I begin to cry louder, unable to control the sobs.
A small knock beckons from the other side of the door. I inhale deeply, trying to stop the tears so I can answer the door. When I think I'm okay, I stand and turn the knob of the door.
"Are you okay?" Danny whispers, squinting from the bright, morning light.
For some reason, that absolutely broke me. I burst into a fit of tears once again and went to shut the door on her. She shoves her foot against the door to stop it from closing, catching me off guard. Since I was still trying to process what she did, she makes her move and slides into the bathroom with me. She shut the door behind her and went to lean on the bathroom sink which is directly in front of me.
Still blubbering in my tears, I turn my face away so she can't see the hot mess of a state I'm in.
"Why'd you try to shut the door on me, Haley?" Danny quietly asks me. I go to answer her, but just can't make the words form in my mouth. All that comes out are air hungry gasps.
Danny pats the ledge of the bathtub that's next to the sink, urging me to take a seat. With my arms folded across my chest, I obediently took a seat where she patted.
I try to calm down so I can explain everything to her, but every time I look at Danny's lipstick stained face, I begin to cry again.
Giving up on trying to speak, I walk over to Danny and grab her by the shoulders. I spin her around so she is face to face with the mirror above the sink. This is also the first time I have looked in the mirror since waking up as well.
The two of us stood there silently, staring at the reflection of whatever had gone on the night before. Not only did Danny have lipstick all over her, but I had it smeared all over my face as well. My hair is a rat's nest, and there are mascara stains running down my cheeks from all my crying.
I watch as Danny brings a hand up to her collarbone and brushes her fingers over the hickeys. I watch as a wave of sadness washes over her face.
"I don't remember... anything..." she chokes, voice breaking mid sentence ever so slightly. Our reflections lock eyes with one another, neither one of us turning to look at the other face to face.
Her saying that completely broke my heart, more than it already was. Neither of us will get to know what went on or how it even started in the first place.
"I'm sorry," I managed to get out. I break eye contact to look down at the floor in shame, tears still threatening to escape from my eyes.
"Oh no no no what are you sorry for?" Danny concerningly bends over and cups my cheeks in her hands. Using my finger, I motion a circle around her head and neck.
"Ah don't worry about it. Most of this can wash off. Speaking of, let's get you cleaned up as well." Danny turns the handle of the sink to get the water running, but I hesitate. Feeling my stomach start bubbling uncomfortably, I scurry to the toilet and drop to my knees. Danny immediately clues in and rushes over to pull back my tangled mess of hair.
The pain and uncomfortableness of my stomach causes me to start crying again. Danny had started rubbing cold water from the sink on the back of my neck, trying to help.
"Do you want some ginger ale? I can go grab you some-" Danny started to walk to the door but I grabbed her ankle and tugged her back, shaking my head. I didn't want to be alone right now.
She decided to join me by sitting on the ground, but was leaning against the side of the tub with her legs stretched in front of her. I was still balled up near the toilet.
"I never want to be that drunk again," I squeak quietly, but still loud enough for her to hear. My comment caused her to let out a chuckle. Her laugh is so contagious, that it got me laughing too.
"Are you too okay in there?" Emily yells through the door.
"Yes we are," The two of us respond in unison.
"My shift at the saloon starts soon. I just thought I'd let you guys know in case you are wondering where I am... unlikely... but just in case. See you later!" she yells through the door again. We hear her footsteps walk away from the door.
"Are you feeling good enough to get washed up now?" Danny questions me. I give her a nod in response.
She stands up, turns, and helps me get on my feet. She holds her hand out and I grasp it tightly, putting all my weight on her hand. She pulls me up and walks me to the sink.
She finds a washcloth hanging up on a towel rack and dampens in the water. She begins to wipe the mascara and lipstick stains from my face, making sure to get every last mark. She does a little nod of satisfaction when she seems to have finished.
I take the washcloth from her hand and start doing the same to her face. When all the pink lipstick smears have been washed away, the hickeys look even more prominent and visible. Hopefully Danny can figure out how to cover them up.
"I better go now and let you get in the shower. I just know you're dying to do so. I don't blame you, I'm going to go home and do the same thing," Danny says as she opens the bathroom door to leave. She pauses in the doorway for a second, seemingly deep in thought. She makes eye contact with me one last time, but then walks out of the bathroom.
I have no idea what is going to happen between the two of us after today. I almost don't even want to think about it. But I can't help feeling some sort of hope?

Can I please request Nurse, Pig, and Wesker with a reader who gets jealous easily?
I believe I can do that. Sorry if this one is a little shorter, I had a hard time coming up with ideas for this one. Please enjoy.
With a jealous Reader : Nurse, Pig, Mastermind
Nurse
Sally thinks that hysterical.
"Don't get your panties in a twist. I'm a nurse, I was giving them medical attention."
"You're jealous? Jealous that I patched Frank up?"
Sometimes she thinks you're just silly.
"Do you honestly believe I'd pick the Legion kid over you?"
And she'll laugh right at you.
You're being over dramatic.
She'll always find a way to ease you out of that jealousy.
Usually by sharing a dark or dirty secret about the person she was just with.
"Frank sucks his thumb in his sleep."
She's a total gossip.
There are other times when she becomes more of an emotional support to others.
During this time, she does offer hugs to others.
If you happen to get jealous, she might be a little irritated.
"Philip had nightmares! You have no idea what he's been through!"
She might even start scolding you.
She'll tell you enough of the other person's story to make you start crying for them.
Sally doesn't like making you cry, but sometimes it's the only way to make you see reason.
At the end of the day, no matter how jealous you get, she'll always love you.
And she'll tell you every moment how important you are to her.
Pig
She really doesn't see the big deal.
"I was just talking to them."
She rarely talks to others to begin with.
So that doesn't leave you much chance to be jealous.
However, she will use any method at her disposal to get what she wants.
Talking to the person is just one way. There are many others.
Amanda isn't above using herself to get the things she needs to succeed.
Things that she'd rather not do.
But, being determined and stubborn, Amanda goes through with it.
Honestly, she doesn't blame you for being jealous.
She's doing things that she should only be doing with a partner.
So when you bring it up, she won't shut you down.
She'll embrace you.
Tightly.
She might even start crying.
You'll have to understand that she doesn't want to do what she's doing. She has to.
Don't point out that she's crying though.
Show deny it and push you out of the hug.
Just take the apology she's giving you. And move on.
She just hopes the show of vulnerability is enough to tell you that she loves you and would never want to betray you.
Mastermind
Wesker is a very charismatic person.
But that charisma is very rarely used for anything other than personal gain.
He's so good at lying, he'll convince himself that he's flirting with his other person.
If that's what needs to be done, that's what needs to be done.
He doesn't see why you'd be so upset.
He's just doing his job.
He isn't great about empathizing with other's needs.
Some may even describe him as selfish.
You'll have to really drill it into him while you're jealous.
Because, unless you speak up about it, he'll continue doing what he's doing.
"Stop acting like a spoiled child."
"Honestly, you're being ridiculous."
If you get angry enough, you might see it as a game.
He'll start teasing you.
"Hmm, yes, they do look very nice today. Perhaps I should go greet them."
He just wants to see you get worked up.
Seeing your little pout in your teeth go red is so much fun for him.
If you get really upset and start crying, he will stop.
He'll then act as if this was all planned, trying to teach you a lesson.
"See, don't you realize how ridiculous you were being?"
If you want to get revenge, start flirting with someone else.
He may act like he's in control, but he's actually a very jealous person himself.
"You minx. You think this is funny?"
He may even try to kill the other person.
"You are the only one whom I have given my heart to."
"I have given you my trust as you have given me yours."
"And I don't intend to break that trust."

You scream his name, but itโ€™s too late. They recognize you. Theyโ€™re grabbing at you, pulling at your clothes, tearing them from your body. Youโ€™ve fallen to the ground, on your hands and knees, begging for them to stop. Crying out to him. Thereโ€™s too many of them, theyโ€™ve made a wall around you, a bubble he canโ€™t pop. Theyโ€™re kicking you, punching you, pulling at your hair. The road burns under your skin, your palms being torn to shreds. You taste blood in your mouth, choking on it, unable to cry out any longer. Heโ€™s calling your name, crying out to you, but you canโ€™t move. You canโ€™t fight. Thereโ€™s too many. You can feel it in your stomach, in your sides, your chest: their anger. They wonโ€™t stop. All of them are so angry, so full of rage, taking it out on you. Your shirt is torn open, torn off, discarded in the crowd, one of your shoes gone. Your left eye has swollen completely shut and thereโ€™s a terrible, pulsing ache on the side of your head. It vibrates through your skull, making you nauseous, terribly aware of the iron taste in your mouth. Something wet and hot drips down your face, your chin. It feels like forever, hands groping you, touching you. They spit their words. Words meant for your brother, your family, not you. You had nothing to do with his campaign, his supposed win. Nothing. You shared a single last name, that was all. That was all. Eternity passes before theyโ€™ve grown tired, bored, before youโ€™ve gone limp, crying quietly to yourself, your arms wrapped around you, protecting you from the cold of night. Theyโ€™ve moved on, leaving you shaking, whimpering. Someone touches you, but you pull away, screaming at them to get away from you, get away. He just shushes you. Itโ€™s me, he says as gently as possible, Itโ€™s just me. You open your good eye, staring up at him. Heโ€™s bleeding. One of his eyes has gone completely red. He looks frantic, disheveled. He canโ€™t think, he canโ€™t breathe, all he can see is the crowd swarming around you, hurting you, you calling out for him and heโ€™s unable to help. Heโ€™d never felt so helpless. Steadily, holding out his hands, he reaches for his jacket. He slips it off, putting it around your bare shoulders, making sure you see his every action. Despite yourself, you flinch. Despite yourself, you fall into him, shuddering, shaking, crying. He doesnโ€™t think about it, instead instinctively putting his arms around you, holding you tight. Itโ€™s okay, he whispers, everything is going to be okay.ย 
He never meant for this to happen.ย 
Your brother never should have said what he did. You knew, under that faux laugh and eye roll was someone hurting, mourning, grieving. You tried to apologize later on, but by then the damage had been done. By Jeryd, by Kendall, by that stupid video going around. From the moment you met him you liked him. You didnโ€™t care about the friendship between him and your brother, or that he was a Roy. He was funny, and kind when no one was looking. Youโ€™d only talked a few times, but you got the sense that he liked you, too. He went to seek you out at the election party, the two of you conversing in your own private corner for over an hour. He made you laugh easily, hysterically, until you were crying. Nothing was off limits. You spoke of your brother's political career, how it had made an impact on your life. It could be worse, you shrugged, trying not to sound inconsiderate. Roman was, after all, a huge help. Heโ€™d been with him from the beginning, most of the family had, too. Youโ€™d told him how sorry you were about his father, hugging him tight, and you noticed he didnโ€™t resist or try to side-step you like he had others. His shoulders slumped a little. He was taking it in, really taking it in, grateful you werenโ€™t made of plastic like everyone else. It could also be better, he objected. You just nodded, unsure of what to say. It could always be better. True. Youโ€™d lost a lot of friends because of Jeryd, a lot of people in your life. It felt like, sometimes, you only had Roman. Heโ€™d asked for your number, for anything about the campaign heโ€™d said quickly after, but you understood. You texted, you called. Sometimes about your brother. Mostly about life. How you were doing, how he was doing. He wasnโ€™t all defensive and witty over text. He dropped the exhausting act. It was nice. You were seeing the real him. When he took off you chased after him. You couldnโ€™t let him do what he was going to do, whatever it was, fearing the worst. He walked down the street, past his car, towards the protesters. Your stomach dropped. You watched him get hit, once twice, before going down. You called to him, trying to save him from himself, climbing over the barrier. You shouldnโ€™t have. It was stupid. But you couldnโ€™t let him get hurt. Thatโ€™s when they recognized you, thatโ€™s when they came after you.ย 
You stay like that for a long time. He rubs your back, hushing your cries. Itโ€™ll be okay, weโ€™ll get you some help. Head pounding, sides aching, everything hurt. It hurts to breathe. Slowly you make your way to the other side of the barriers where he sits you down on the sidewalk, trying to access your wounds. Youโ€™ll need stitches, he thinks dreadfully, a lot of them. As carefully as possible, he wipes the blood away, red soaking into the sleeve of his white button up. Your head is pretty banged up and you might be missing a few back teeth. He can see the bruises forming in the opening of his jacket and your palms are bright red. Youโ€™d stopped crying, now embarrassed. Iโ€™m okay, really, you protested, fighting him, but the look in his eyes was scared and stern: stay put. You couldnโ€™t stop yourself from apologizing. If youโ€™d been smarter, if you thought for just one second, he wouldnโ€™t have to be doing this. Roman was quite a moment, getting to your level on the ground. This is my fault, not yours. You were, you were just being a good person. You shake your head, going on and on about what an idiot you are, but heโ€™s not listening. He tips your chin up, making you look in those big brown eyes. So sad, you think, so hurt. Listen to me, his voice soft, shaking. This wasnโ€™t- itโ€™s not- none of this was your fault, okay? You just shrugged, defeated. He calls a car that should be there soon. In the meantime he sits beside you, every so often dabbing your forehead. Is it as bad as it feels? Youโ€™re quiet now. How would you explain this to your brother? How could you explain your lack of thought? You just moved, you just acted, following him because you were worried, because you were petrified about what would happen to him if you didnโ€™t. Heโ€™d never understand. You and Roman, you werenโ€™t anything, but you cared about him and he cared about you. It didnโ€™t have to have a name. It didnโ€™t have to exist to everyone else. He shakes his head, dabbing the blood. You kinda pull it off. You smile, nudging him. Really, this could be the new look. You roll your eyes. You let your head rest on his shoulder, exhausted, the adrenaline wearing off. Everything hurts, everything aches. You reach with your tongue in two empty sockets. Your teeth must be over there, on the sidewalk. He puts his arm around you, letting it hover just above your skin, not wanting to cause anymore harm. He knows youโ€™re tender, that the booze and emotions will wear off and youโ€™ll be in a world of pain. The car pulls up just as heโ€™s about to call. Slowly he guides you in, climbing in beside you. They start to drive quickly, towards the nearest hospital, every so often glaring up at you two. What a sight. Your poor eye, you whisper, touching the side of his bruised face. He holds your hands, knowing how they must burn. He didnโ€™t care the least about himself, you were his only concern. You should see the other guy.
