New Mature Content Warning Overlay (And How to Get Rid of It)
More fun community label "features"! Unlike the new mandatory label for #NSFW, this one is a bigger deal to me because it affects my entire blog and it can't be avoided by just using a different tag.
Apparently on custom blog layouts, if you happen to post or reblog even a SINGLE post that's been flagged with the mature content community label, a full-page warning overlay will appear blurring out your entire blog that must be manually clicked through every single time the page is refreshed. At first I thought this was just a bug due to my older layout but I've come to realize it's not. It's a feature (as confirmed by this recent changes post) that affects all custom themes. The formatting will vary based on your own theme but here's what it looks like on my blog:
I don't know about you but I find this is stupid and annoying. If it could be dismissed once and never seen again that might be one thing, but that's not the case. The vast majority of my blog is not "mature" enough to warrant such an aggressive and invasive warning. I also think pop-ups are obnoxious in general and I'll be damned if tumblr's going to force me to have one on MY blog.
After some desperate googling for a known workaround and being unable to find even a single mention of it, I decided to take on the challenge myself. I'm not a theme coder, so apologies if there's a better way to do this, but luckily it only took me like 10 minutes to figure out a simple fix, which I'm now sharing with anyone else who may want it:
.community-label-cover__wrapper {display: none}
Just copypaste that somewhere in your CSS and goodbye pop-up!
If you're not sure how to access your theme code, check out this help article. You can also add the code via the Advanced Options menu, which is actually even better (if you can get it to work, it depends on how your theme was coded), because it will then automatically be reapplied to a lot of themes without having to remember to manually add it every time if you change your theme in the future.
Obviously this will only remove it from your own blog for anyone who may visit it. If you never want to see this warning again on other people's blogs you can also add this custom filter to your ad block:
tumblr.com##.community-label-cover__wrapper
Unfortunately I do not have an easy tutorial on hand for this one as the method will depend on your specific ad block app or extension.
Some additional notes:
After adding the theme code and saving the changes, give it a minute to update as it sometimes takes a little while for the page to refresh.
The warning overlay only seems to appear if a "mature" post is on the FIRST page of your blog, which is still annoying and makes the whole thing even more pointless and stupid because what if someone visits any other page of your blog, and oh no, happens to see "mature" content they weren't warned about?!
The warning also appears on direct links to "mature" posts.
This hack has NOTHING to do with entire blogs that have been flagged as NSFW. It only works for non-flagged blogs with custom themes that happen to have individual "mature" posts.
#I'm not letting my entire blog be penalized for a couple rare singular posts that may or may not even be 'mature' enough to warrant it#tumblr may force us to use community labels#and they may have full control over the new blogview#but MY custom blog layout has always been and always will be MINE to format and present however I want#that's the whole point#tumblr#psa#tutorial#my words#tumblr themes#wendy's help desk

âś when the clock strikes / leon kennedy
pairing: leon kennedy x gn!reader
summary: youâre starting to think a certain agent might be faking his injuries to see you.
tags: sfw, pure fluff, a bit of angst as a treat, love at first sight basically, silly workplace love story, nurse!reader, 1 year post re4r!leon, no use of y/n, extremely mildly passively suggestive, leon takes his shirt off twice (woohoo!), kissing, swearing, leon is awkward as hell, you are too though so itâs okay, description of bruises, cuts and a muscle knot (not detailed), medical talk, slight mention of gore and blood, reader has a backstory, reader has a mother.
note: i blinked and suddenly there were 8k words in my doc idek how that happened. im actually so nervous to post because this is my first one shot ever!! my cherry has been popped⌠but also apologies if things are kind of all over the place bc im still trying to get the swing of it all. trying to write in the present tense was like being beat over the head repeatedly so im sure theres many grammatical mistakes in that department
word count: 8.5k (got possessed sorry)
Everyone thought you were crazy when you accepted the offer.Â
It is crazyâbut you arenât stupid. You knew what you were getting into a long time ago as a nurse; people get hurt, and then you save them. Clockwork.
Years ago, you started studying to be a nurse in some middle of nowhere midwestern school. You remembered the rolling hills and the ungodly heavy blankets of snow that fell during the winter months, the fallen leaves that the snow covered. It was all so peaceful for a while⌠until the outbreak.
You never saw it coming, no one did, really. At least, you hope no one predicted the atrocities that were about to be witnessed by thousands of innocents without warning.
Gnashing teeth and hands with dried blood that streaked down arms like veins plagued the memory of that point in your life. It was surreal to believe that you got up that morning and made your breakfast like any other day, you slid your shoes on and grabbed your keys, and then your foot hit the front porch and the trajectory of your life changed permanently.Â
The virus started as a woman with red-ringed eyes and pallid skin that reflected off of the blinding overhead lightsâshe looked visibly ill. Thatâs all that mattered at the time. You were actually the one who situated her and her husband in their room, he smiled at you and thanked you for your time and you scribbled down notes before hanging the clipboard and leaving the room for the doctor. The screeching horror music plays when you get to this part of the memory.
A type of calm before the storm. You hold your breath every time.
A few hours later people started screaming, and someoneâsomething ran out of that room and wrenched its grip on the first person it saw. Blue scrubs dyed a nasty crimson, like crushed raspberries on cloth. The next part is a blur of running, watching your coworkers die, and using your medical expertise to help anyone who needed it. People were hurt. You saved them.
Like you said, clockwork. You try not to think about it too hard.
By the time help came, you had cramped a large handful of survivorsâalbeit, injured survivorsâinto a small house that was a mile or two from the hospital. Your quick thinking protected many people that day, and your skills were recognized.
A week prior, you were a simple nursing student who was lucky enough to be placed in a hospital, and by the next Sunday, you were being offered a position as a medic with the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team. You finished your schooling, you got your specialized training, and now youâre on your way to your first assignment out of the country.
So, granted, maybe you are a little crazy for accepting such a prestigious and dangerous position after your humble beginnings. Your mother never ceases to remind you of this, with what little information you were allowed to tell her.
Iceland? she said, pulling her lips into a line. Are you crazy?
You begin to think that you are now that you stand in front of the base, arms tucked around yourself and teeth chattering as a sergeant points you around like one of his troops. Between the hustle and bustle of agents hurrying around and the amount of civilians sitting beneath the large, brown medical tent, you understand why they needed all the help they could get.
Things in Iceland were bad apparently; Umbrella thought the remote location would protect what little was left of them, and their research, from being exposed. Unfortunately for them, (and fortunately for everyone else) the AUPIT caught wind of what was happening and vowed to put a stop to it. You, freshly out of training, were sent to help with the sudden influx of displaced non-combatants and wounded agents.
Within the hour of the helicopter landing, you settle in and pull your cold weather scrubs on.Â
There arenât many other nursesâonly twoâand neither of them seem to be very fond of you. The head nurse is older and straight-laced, following procedure, not mingling with you unless she has to. You donât think youâre ever going to be put on a shift with the other nurse, but they spare you a few ireful glances. Itâs like they could smell the fresh blood, and the scent made them turn their noses.
Nonetheless, you werenât there to socialize, so you rolled up your sleeves and did your job, trying to ignore the passive aggressive looks being thrown at you from left and right. This kind of mutual ignorance worked for about three days, until you were placed on the night shift⌠every single night.Â
Before you came along, it was determined that the night shift could be manned by one person, as injured civilians were sent to the safehouses by nightfall and nearly all of the agents were either out on work or taking a much needed rest. There was no reason for both nurses to be awake when one could conserve their energy and rest while the other worked. So, most nights you spent alone, sitting by the fire in the back of the tent as you waited for the sun to come up.
One of those nights crept up on you again. You bounce your foot against the ground until your ankle aches, sitting in a lawn chair next to the fire with a wool blanket draped over your shoulders. Nothing chirps in the distance like the environment youâre used to, the only noises that float through the air are the wind rustling bare-armed bushes and your own breathing. There was a rip in the tent whistling, too, but youâd be damned if you let the incessant noise drive you insane. You were scared of the eerie silence for the first few days, but that quickly became replaced by the complete boredom that followed it.
You blow a raspberry as you spin a pen in your ungloved hand, fingers numb and stretched stiff with cold. Iâve ought to ask someone for a book, you thought to yourself, or a new job. You immediately push the second contemplation out of your head like it was something dirty and sat up a little straighter; your annoyance made sense, but this is what you wanted to do with your life. You want to help people in need.
Not that there were many people around.
In the distance, like divine intervention, you hear the crackle of wheels against snow, and a black mini-van rolls to a stop in front of the tent. A scuffle inside ensues for a moment, then the doors open and a man comes hobbling into the shelter with his arm over another manâs shoulder.Â
You nearly fall out of your seat with how fast you stand up and stride over to the men, assisting the injured one onto a cot.Â
âWhat happened?â you ask, pushing a cart of equipment to his bedside.
The uninjured one remarks from beside you, âSome snow gave way and he went down this hill with some pretty nasty bushes at the bottom.â His voice is quick and clicky. He looks young.
Clearly, theyâre two agents, judging by the leather holsters strapped around their waists and shoulders. You purse your lips and place a lantern on the cart, gently inspecting the injured agent. Thereâs thorns lodged along the entirety of his left side, looking a bit like a childâs crude attempt at art with toothpicks and styrofoam.
He grunts when you gently lift his arm to check underneath, and you mutter an apology before you turn to the other agent. âI can take this from here.â
The agent nods and spins on his heel, disappearing into the darkness once he stepped out into the open air.Â
You turn your attention towards the man in front of you and pull on a pair of gloves, the latex makes a sharp snapping noise when you let go. His intense gaze follows your movements with great intrigueâor suspicion⌠you couldnât really tell. You pick up a pair of tweezers and set them on the cart. You also finally got a good look at the wounded agent.
Blue eyes that strike down what little defenses you have and brows that spend their time permanently creased, almost erasing the space between them while he inspects you. His ability to make you feel thoroughly grilled with a simple fixated stare would have made you squirm years prior, but now you merely stare back with your eyebrows lifted. The blondeâpossibly light brown haired, the darkness didnât give much way in the form of colourâman averts his eyes first, as if he is caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Youâd be lying if you said he wasnât attractive, but thatâs not your focus right now.
âHow are you feeling?â you ask, flicking on a flashlight to check his pupils. Healthy, good. He squints at you through the beam.
âLike I fell into a thorn bush.â
Looks like someone feels funny. You deadpan at him, unamused with the sarcasm while you try to help. Your expression beckons a better answer and he backpedals.
The manâs head bobs subtly, like a scale in his mind is weighing his thoughts on either side, and then he says, âIâm just fine.â
âAre you dizzy? Nauseous?â
âFine.â
âOkay,â you reply, blowing out a not-so-inconspicuous huff of annoyed air that swirls above you in the cold. The agent raises his brow at your reaction but doesnât seem too keen on speaking on it. âIâll try to be as gentle as I can, but itâs going to be a lot of poking and prodding.â
He lets out another grunt that could have possibly been an Mhm⌠but you arenât sure. You hold the tweezers between your fingers and begin to pluck them out, placing them on the metal pan on your cart. Clink, clink, clink. They fall from the tweezers with tiny noises.
To your surprise, he doesnât writhe or make much noise, only occasional grunts and sighs and Shitâs under his breath when you pull at particularly deep thorns lodged in his arm.Â
Even for an agent, his arms are an impressive size, which means a lot more surface area to extract from. Not that you really mind, as you would have helped him either way, but surely you would feel differently if you were in his shoes.
However, the silence is⌠awkward; sitting there with your face inches from his huge armsâhe could definitely feel your breath fan across the surface with how his skin dances with warmth and goosebumps and you do not want the attractive agent to focus on that. So, you break it with a question.
âYou werenât wearing a jacket?â A valid query, all things considered.
He blinks at you like it was obvious. âIt came off.â
âOh,â is all you say until you extract the last thorn from his arm and begin to slide the leather shoulder holster off of him. âI just need to take this off.â
He frowns slightly, and you realize his brows had been furrowed this whole time because that was all his face seemed to know how to do. When his expression changes, you stop.
âWhat are you doing?â he asks.
âTaking it off so I can look under your sleeve.â
âWhy?â
âYou couldâve pulled something and I need to bandage you,â you pause. âIs that okay?â
Maybe you wrongly assumed that he had done this a million times. Donât get you wrong, you know how resilient agents had to be and how good they were at their jobs, so it isnât like you thought he got hurt often⌠But with a short glance into his eyes, you could tell heâs a hardened delegate with years of experience under his belt. Wasnât he bound to need help occasionally?
The man gives you a slight nod and shrugs off the holster; it falls to the bed with a soft thud from the weight of the knife tucked into the leather.Â
His muscles tense under your fingers when you roll the black sleeve over his shoulder. The feathered, pale edge of a bullet scar peeks out from beneath the dark clothing and it makes you wonder how he managed to get it. A mission? Probably. It looks old. Youâve seen scars of all kinds at that point, and each of them held a story that ended in pierced flesh.Â
They remind you that they will never not be where they came fromâyour own scars will never not be where they came from. You shake the thought out like a stubborn rock in your shoe.
âLucky you, it doesnât look like you pulled anything in your shoulder,â you comment under your breath.
âIf this is luck, Iâd like to see what happens when I get unlucky.â For the first time, thereâs humor in his toneâso faint you nearly miss it, but it makes you chuckle. When he isnât huffing out responses, his voice almost sounds kind.
You rotate his shoulder slowly and inspect the length of his side, finding fewer thorns than the amount anchored in his arm. Still, your lips press into a line, pitying the fact that his bare skin will be exposed to the frigid, below-freezing air so you could remove them.
âWell, you shouldâve knocked on wood,â you reply, âIâll need you to take your shirt off so I can get the rest of the thorns out and check your ribs.â
Silently, the man hikes his shirt up and over his ribs for you, snaking his arm out of his sleeve and then laying on his side.Â
As he comes down, stretching, he groans. You see his muscles tense under his skin when he inhales, the dips and divots of his torso flex involuntarily when the squall of air nips at his newly exposed skin. The surface holds blossoms of red and deep purple that litter themselves across his ribs like splotches of messy watercolor dripped onto paper. Scarlet scratches bleed pebbles that drip onto the fabric of the cot.Â
You suck in through your teeth as you inspect the area. Even without the damage from the thorns, it doesnât look good.
âNot good?â the agent questions as if he could read your mind. From over his shoulder, he turna his head to look at you.
âNot good. You bruised your ribs, Iâd be surprised if one of them wasnât broken.â
âI didnât hear a crack.â
âIt should be monitored for a day or two, at the very least.â
âI have to get back to work.â
âLook, I understandââ
âIâll be fine.â
You sigh softly and remove one of your gloves to rub your face in exasperation. Unfortunately, this wasnât your first rodeo with stubborn patients, so you slide on another glove and begin to pluck at the thorns in his torso. âYou wonât be doing much work if you permanently damage them.â
He twists his head away from you again and grunts softly, muttering a short, âOkay.â
How articulate. You guess he doesnât get paid to talk to people.
âOkay? As inâŚ?â
âAs in, fine,â he replies, then pauses for a moment as if to prove a point. âBut Iâm sure you have better things to do.â
You laugh at this, then stifle it into your elbow so he didnât think you were laughing at him. He still rolls over a little to look at you, confusion laces his eyes that dart around as they go from your face to the rows of empty cots behind you. Busy? You begin to laugh again.
He canât be serious, you think as you fan your face. You let your laughter dissipate like it was being dissolved into water. âSorry⌠no, youâre right,â you snort, âI was drowning in work before you arrived, agent.â
âIâm sure,â he chirps back, the ghost of a smile haunts his lips.
âI think I can squeeze you in, though. Might have to clear some of my schedule, but⌠Iâll make it work.â
The pleased look that graces your face is involuntary. You find it endearing how worried he is about becoming too much extra work for you and the other nurses, despite the fact that there isnât any reason to gather that he would andâbelieve it or notâitâs your job.Â
The agent lets out an amused breath through his nose. âShould I be flattered?â
âOh, of course.â
You place the last of the thorns onto the metal pan and tend to his wounds with gauze and bandages and nimble fingers that have done this hundreds of times before. Sometime along the way his body relaxedâjust a littleâand you think he fell asleep until he sits up like a puppet that had his strings yanked and puts his shirt on properly.
The sudden movement makes you blink, and he stares at you for a long pause filled with dead air and an expectant look in his eyes. That damn rip in the tent whistles.Â
Finally, his eyes flicker down to your badge, then back to your face. âIâve never seen you before.â
âI started here not too long ago,â you inform him honestly, a little embarrassed to admit your newbie title to a seasoned employee of the organization.
He doesnât say anything else, so you take the reins.
âWell, I think weâre set,â you say, rolling the latex gloves off of your hands. âLet me know if you need anything, AgentâŚâ
You never asked him his name?
âLeon Kennedy,â the agent, now with the name Leon Kennedy pinned to his face, finishes for you.Â
His name twirls around your head and makes you dizzy to think about. I should have known, you think to yourself once he bids you farewell to report to his superiors.Â
From what little time you spent at the base prior to meeting Leon, you had heard whispers during dinner drift from mouth to ear of the elusive agent. That he was a man of few words (immense understatement, you consider it more socially awkward, but true); that he had half of the base swooning every time he walked by (you donât want to comment on this); and that he was immensely attractive (that is also true). You have to admit⌠you see why he had such an air of intrigue around him. To be so quiet after such successes heâs accomplishedâpeople were on the edge of their seats trying to figure him out.
You also had to admit that you werenât immune to it either.Â
During your meals and breaks you found yourself playing Whereâs Waldo? with Leon, attempting to catch glimpses of him in his natural state to confirm or deny these claims. Which was impressively difficult for absolutely no reason other than that he did it for his own benefit⌠the motive for this was lost, and still is, on you.
The few times you did spot him, he had the same clenched jaw and furrowed eyebrows. He never stayed in the same place for very long and frequently you only spotted himâor rather, his broad shoulders and white-knuckled fists as they turned corners and disappeared to do whatever he did all day. Important agent things.
Regarding your coworkers⌠it hadnât improved much, either. The head nurse, who you later learned was named Winona, loosened up on you a bitâwhich was practically nothing when both she and the other nurse had been so cold to begin with. However, your determination to help those around you seemed to impress her⌠most days.
(Peeks of Leonâs ashy blonde hair stolen from cracks in the tent. His fur-lined coat hangs off of his sizable frame, enveloping his arms in the thick fabricâit makes them look even bigger. Not that you care, per say, butâ
âYou arenât getting paid to stalk agents,â Winona jeers, jolting you back to Earth from your subject of stolen attention. You swear she smiles at you wryly. âShouldâve tried for one of their jobs if you wanted to do that.â
She turns on her heel and goes over to a trio of injured civilians with her cart, the knot of hair tied taut at the base of her neck stares you in the face. Youâre left hot faced and embarrassed for the entirety of the next check-up with your patient.)
The endless night shifts never seem to cease rolling in and youâre afraid itâs begun to catch up on you. By the end of breakfast, when you could finally drag your corpse-like body to your quarters and into your bed, your head drooped comically into your bowl of oatmeal and some of the newer agents had a blast laughing at you. Whatever, assholes.
(You were deeply embarrassed.)
So, you opted for allowing a short nap in here and there during your shiftâten minutes at mostâwhenever your eyelids began to feel itchy and weighted and you couldnât help but close them. You really couldnât. Being sat by the fire with a hot drink made you so warm and the sounds of blowing wind lulled you to sleep in the darkness under the moon.
Truly, a terrible work performance from you, but no one was around to see and surely youâd be awoken by even a hint of an emergency.Â
Tonight, you count sheep with your wool blanket tucked up to your chin and your head lolls against your shoulder like itâs about to fall off its hinges. One, two, three. They mock you as they hop into their pasture and curl up into white, fluffy spheres, falling asleep within the warmth of their home.Â
From a distance, your ears almost register the sound of footsteps that approach the tent, crushing the crunchy top layer of snow under their feet as they stop in the entrance. It isnât enough to completely wake you until they clear their throat and say, âHello?â
Your eyes snap open and you turn your head so fast you think it might go flying across the room. Really smooth of you, considering Leon is the one to get your attention. By the smug look on his face and slight chuckle that wracks his frame, you know he isnât fooled with your act awake performance.
He stands there, towering and rigid, unlike the night you first met him, with his palm outstretched flat like heâs trying to show the world something.Â
âOh, hey, what do you need?â you reply quickly, standing from your chair as you let your blanket fall off of you.
Leon glances at his hand and then at you. âI, uh, got a papercut.â
âA paper cut,â you repeat, just to make sure you heard him right.
âYeah.â
You stare at him for a moment, mouth agape as his words register as something he was actually saying to you.
âWell, get comfortable, then. Iâll patch you up.â
In reality, youâre terribly confused about a special forces agent needing first aid for a paper cut, but how could you complain? He needs help and youâre there to offer it.Â
The blonde sits on a cot near the fireânot before picking up your blanket from the ground and placing it back on the chair, thoughâand you situate yourself on a stool facing him.Â
You take Leonâs hand in yours gently and inspect the wound. Itâs fairly shallow, but placed in the center of the webbed skin between his index finger and thumb. Tough spot. When your digits graze his rough knuckles he inhales sharply and you glance at him due to the sudden motion.
He doesnât expect a reaction from you because he pauses for a second then asks, âYou think Iâll live?â
âI dunno,â you answer, sucking your teeth. âCould be a close call.â
âYeesh.â
âI know. My condolences.â
âFor myself?â
âUh-huh.â You turn his hand over so his palm faced the sky. âThisâll sting.â
When you disinfect the injury, Leonâs face twitches into itself but he keeps quiet, opting to focus his gaze on your face while you patch him up. You try not to shift under the intensity.
âWhat made you want to do this?â he queries, his voice cuts through the silence and startles you a bit. Leon looks pleased with himself and you roll your eyes.
âYouâll laugh.â
âWhy would I do that?â
âItâs corny.â
Admittedly, it wasâthe original story as to why you wanted to be a nurse. Youâve had people laugh at it before and you mostly donât want to repeat history with someone you find rather charming, but something in Leonâs face softens and he shakes his head briefly.Â
âTry me,â he challenges.
âOh, fine.â Like there was a fight put up when you relent, smoothing a bandaid over his cut. âYou know those things youâd fill out as a kid? Where itâs like, what do you want to be when you grow up?â
Leon nods.
âEvery single time, I would write superhero,â you laugh sourly because you got used to other people laughing when you said this, but he listens as if youâre the only sound heâs ever heard. âIâd draw myself with a little cape and all that. Then at a certain age the teachers start telling you, pick a real job, pick something that exists. And, I dunno, I thought: there are real superheroes. They save people every day because they want to.â
âI mean, I always knew I didnât have all the right assets to be the one rescuing people from burning buildings and punching the bad guys. I wanted to help people when they couldnât help themselves, you know? I can't carry the weight of the situationâitâs just not in my natureâbut I can carry them. Thatâs why I started doing this, I guess.â
The look he gives you when you finish speaking is indescribable. He gazes deeply into your face like heâs trying to find a new feature he missed the first time. Something akin to pulling apart your mind with his eyes as if itâs clay made for the shaping and a load of a melancholy thatâs too heavy for him; like heâs asking you, how do I carry it? Tell me how to carry something like that.Â
Your hand still lingers in his, over the bandaid you placed on him; you slide yours so the curves of your thumbs interlock and you grip the hilt of his palm. A hidden embrace.
Leonâs eyes dart toward your hands and he makes no effort to remove you from his grasp, his fingers relax against your wrist. He feels your heartbeat. You feel his. When he looks up again, all he sees are your eyes.Â
You donât know why you went on that anecdote in the first place, not really. Only that you were finished patching him up and wantedâneededâhim to linger for a bit longer.
âWhat about you?â you ask, voice hushed close to nothing.
âI wanted to help people, too.â He sounds uncharacteristicâsheepish? âThatâs it⌠I canât follow up with something as articulate as you.â
âIt matters just as much even if you canât express it,â you assure him, your head tilts.Â
Leon clears his throat and nods, slipping his hand from yours and looking anywhere that isnât you. You created a shadow in front of his face, back facing the fire, but you can see the subtle dark tinge of his cheeks when he avoids your eyes. He chooses to look at his feet. There he goes, being endearing again, you think.
The harsh edges of his face are lit up with an orange glow, darkness shoots somewhere in between in a soft gradient, and he looks positively ethereal. If you reached out and cupped his face, you know it would be warm to the touch like laundry right out of the dryer. It makes him look all the more delicate and this feels more natural than the pointed looks and pinched expressions he usually wears.
You look back down at his hands. Youâre trying to memorize the way they felt against yours (coarse and hot to the touch) and you get the picture of how hopeless you areâeven an idiot could see you have a crush on him.Â
That doesnât stop you from protecting your pride and you keep it to yourself. You stand up to put the disinfectant supplies and box of bandaids away without a word.Â
Leon stares at his hand like itâs missing a piece.
You have your head buried too deep into the cabinet to think much about that. Screaming at yourself was an understatement for what youâre doing in your head⌠a better description would be begging the floor to swallow you entirely with one gulp.
Surely, Leon has someone at home. Heâs an attractive, intelligent man with an arguably stable job that pays him oodles more than he would ever need; not to mention how well-built he is, but again, for what seems like the millionth time you push this thought to the back of your mind. You could not focus on that.
âAre you okay?â his voice carries from the cot.
You take a momentâs breather and shut the cabinet door. âIâm good. How are your ribs?â
âTheyâre good.â Leon pauses, then adds. âThanks.â
The shake of your head comes faster than your words; muscle memory. âItâs what Iâm here for.â
âYou do a good job.â
âIâm just a medic.â
âA good one.â
As you utter your gratitude for his comment, you hope he couldnât feel the heat radiating off of your face from so far away. You werenât one to get shy from such simple words, but you find your eyes glued to your boots because of his gentle bonniness. Damn you, you curse at him in your headâit held no weight.
The blonde stands from the cot and walks over to you. He bends slightly to catch your eyes in his. âI have to go now, but... yeah. Thank you.â
âOf course, Agent Kennedy.â
âDonât start using formalities now,â he half-laughs, half-breathes. His face contorts when he stretches back, and his hand came up to massage his right shoulderâyou even go to comment on this movement, being a medic and all, but he beats you to it with a smirk. âStick with Leon.â
And then, in a few strides, heâs gone as fast as he came.Â
Your entire body deflates when you let out a guttural sigh. How come every time you watched his back, you were left reeling?
Unfortunately for you, that blasted man had ingrained himself into your head, sitting pretty in your thoughts as snug as a bug in a rug while you tried to do your job, or attempted to focus on anything other than your feelings for him. On the contrary, he returned to clearing out Umbrella facilities for the time being, which meant he was out of the base for days, or even weeks, considering he was one of, if not, the best agent they had. This saved you from the embarrassment of being caught trying to catch glances of him from inside the tent or during meals.Â
This, however, did not stop you from daydreaming when work got slow.Â
You wondered how someone like Leon behaved domestically, if he was completely different outside of the AUPIT, or if he was still just the sweet, reserved man who needed your aid often. Did he have any pets? What music did he listen to? You guess youâd have to ask him later, but you imagined that the pieces would fall into place and suit him. Theyâd be so perfectly Leon that when he told you, you would think to yourself, huh, why didnât I think of that?
The amount of daydreaming you did was not lost on Winona, and occasionally she snapped her fingers in front of your face and grumbled under her breath, âIâll kill that boy.â With no real threat to her tone.Â
Please, you canât help it. He has arms with the muscle definition of a god and he told you-you were a good medic; you were a goner before you even realized it.
On the other hand, your family never let up with their pleas for you to return home, despite the fact that it simply wasnât possible unless you had a very good reason for it. Which you didnât, and you didnât want toâpeople just didnât get it through their heads that, yes, your job was difficult, and yes, patients got on your nerves sometimes, but no, you wouldnât trade it for the world. This meant more to you than anything else you could fathom. You knew the fear these people felt first-hand, and you knew they needed a saving grace; just like you had.
(âJust come home,â your mother coos into the phone, her voice static-y and chopped from the poor signal. You could imagine her face right now, all worried and exhausted like youâre a child balancing on a wet playground. âThereâs a hospital not too far from here⌠Iâm sure theyâd take you.
You promptly spend the next hour explaining to her that it isnât that simple, even if you wanted to, and you remind her every few minutes that you arenât going to leave, either. Youâre happy, all things considered; which is why you make the executive decision to leave out all of the bad parts of your work so far.)
As for the efforts against Umbrella, you hear whispers of successes during dinners and fewer agents appeared at the medical tentâs door in need of assistance than when you arrived. So, you think things are going rather well for your organization. Less tired eyes and solemn faces; the fight wasnât over, but everyone could rest a little easier with every night that passed.Â
And yet, those damned night shifts. You swear Winona and that other medic were scheming against you for no reason other than pure spite, on the basis of simply because they didnât feel like doing it. It has to be funny to them by now, seeing you half-asleep at breakfast and looking all mussed at dinner because you woke up ten minutes prior. You let them laugh all they wanted because frankly, you began to enjoy the night shifts. The world went to sleep, and you enjoyed some peace and quiet.
You kick your feet up onto a stool and drape a blanket over your legs, book in hand. The soft sounds of Icelandic pop music crackles out of the radio and floats throughout the tent. You mouth the noises of the songs, unsure of the lyrics, but youâve heard it so often by now, you could recognize the tune from the first few beats. You scat a few of the instruments, tapping your foot along. You don't notice the figure that stopped in the doorframe.Â
âEnjoying yourself?â Leon. You shut your book and turn to look at him, embarrassed. âI always feel like Iâm coming at a bad time.â
âNever,â you reply with a haste that humbles you further. Worried about his sudden appearance in the medical tent after being gone on agent duties for nearly two weeks, you ask, âAre you okay?â
The corners of his mouth upturn and you barely see a flash of uneven teeth between the slit it creates, cute. This distracts you from how smug his face is. âI think I have a fever.â
âA fever this time?â
âYep.â
âMake yourself comfortable, Leon.âÂ
A paper cut, then a fever. You begin to think of his inability to soothe his minor maladies as an excuse to visit the tent. Your stomach flutters at the thought, but you have to make sure⌠just in case heâd fallen ill out there in the cold.Â
You find the thermometer and placed it in his mouth gingerly. It hangs crooked from the corner and he watches you with a certain keenness that makes you smile. After a few minutes, you check his temperature: 98.7. An amused hum escapes your lips without meaning to.
âDying?âÂ
âI donât think you have a fever,â you answer, using the back of your hand to press against his forehead and cheeks. The first cheek is cold, then the left cheek warms under your skinâLeonâs expression falls bashful. âBut if I didnât know any better, Iâd think you were looking for reasons to come see me.â
Itâs his turn to hum in thought. âMaybe.â
âYou could just come talk to me.â
âYouâre on the clock,â the blonde reminds you, grunting. In a swift movement, his hand presses into the curve of his neck and he rotates his right shoulder, face straining.
You see an opening. âThat I am. What was that?â
âWhat?â
âYour shoulder.â
âI was stretching.â
âDoes it hurt?â
Leon grumbles a response under his breath, unimpressed that you might have found something you could actually treat him for. You raise your brows. âIâll take that as a yes. Let me see.â
âItâs fine.â
âAgent Kennedy.â
He pretends not to hear you.
âLeon.â
âFine,â he gripes like a child being forced to get a shot and maneuvers to lay his stomach flat on the cot, his back faces toward the ceiling. He takes off his brown, fur-lined jacket and discards it onto the next cot over. You get a whiff of musk and cinnamon from the breeze it makes.
The shirt that clings to him left nothing to the imaginationâa tight, black compression shirt stretches snugly over his muscles. You spread your fingers like fans to warm them up, then begin to run them over his shoulder and along the meat of his back.Â
You tsk, full of knots. This man needs a masseuse. You make a mental note to refer him to a good one you knew.Â
With the issue at hand, though, you find an impressive knot in his shoulder, which is likely the cause of his discomfort.Â
You huff, your work cut out for you. âThereâs a big knot in your shoulder, Leon. How are you living like this?â
âI wake up and roll out of bed.â
âI need to get this out.â
Leon turns his head, his cheek presses to the cot. He gives you a look that says nothing short of, are you serious? You smile as sweetly as you can at him, an attempt to coax him. To your surprise, he averts his gaze fast and relents. The blonde agent sits up and shrugs his shirt off. Itâs tossed next to his jacket.
Under the fire light and the dim glow of lanterns that hang in a line down the center of the tent, strings attached to the ceiling, you see the way chills prickle over the surface of his skin. Goosebumps, like rolled carpets being kicked open, unfurl down his arms rapidly and he lays down on his stomach once again.Â
Your face burns in the darkâyouâd be surprised if you arenât glowing like one of those lanterns from the amount of heat it exudes.
You use a dollop of skin cream to keep the area relaxed and pliable as you work out the knot with your fingers. You push it in the right direction until you got it in a better spot, then you knead it firmly. It crackles within his body.
âFuckâŚâ he groans in relief, nestling his head into the fabric of the cot as he sighs. âThey teach you massages in nursing school?â
âThat might be just a learned from life thing,â you state in total honesty. You wipe the excess lotion from your hands on a rag.Â
Curiously, he peers at you from the corner of his eye. âYou have someone back home you do that to?â
A laugh falls from your lips, though your face feels even hotter than before (if that is even possible). âNoânot at all.â
Leon lets out a pleasant hum and sit up from the cot. Good, he says without saying it.Â
He snatches his shirt and tugs it over his head; you pretend to make yourself busy so you have somewhere other to look than at him. You hear him sigh with great reprieve as he rolls his shoulder back and forth, it mustâve felt like a freshly oiled hinge.
He comes up behind you, his shoulder skims the back of your neck when he peers down at what you were doing on the counter. Which is a whole lot of nothing; moving cotton swabs from one container to the other, counting how many rolls of gauze you had left for the hundredth time. Mindless hand ministrations to distract you from the heart that pounds in your chest.
âIs this what you do all night?â he questions, mildly amused.
âSometimes.â
âMust be glad I showed up.â
âSomething like that,â you tease, glancing up at him with a coy smile.
You watch his withstraint break a little inside of him. He inhales sharply, losing the words you said somewhere between your eyes and your lipsâhe couldnât focus with your faces so close to each other and neither could you. Leon reaches for the hand that rested on the other side of you and drags you in between him and the counter, twirling you to face him. Then he pauses and appears lost, like he doesnât know which way is left and right.
Maybe he doesnât know what to do, you think. You donât really know either, so you go on about what you do know.
âYou should probably use kinesiology tape on your shoulder,â you comment, suddenly becoming hyper-aware of all of your limbs. His eyes donât leave your lips. Youâd be a liar if you say yours left his.
âYeah?âÂ
âYeah.â
The manâs body heat radiates off of him and itâs magnetic, pulling you closer, away from the bitter cold. Your breath hitches. His hand hovers over the curve of your neck, then it decides to rest on the side of your jaw, thumb pressed against your flushed cheek. You remember the texture of his warm palm, coarse and calloused from years of wear.
You try to memorize every fine line and crease that scuffs your face as he beckons you to close the gap with the slight tilt of his head. Iâd make a terrible agent, my resilience is slim to none, you theorize when your body moves before your mind does. His mouth hovers over yours, his breath traces your cupidâs bow. You close the distance enough that your lips graze each other until someone clears their throat from a few feet away.
Winona stands like a judgmental statue, thin brows raise expectantly. You, and Leon, jump away from each other. It rocks the counter with a loud clatter that echoes.Â
âAgent Kennedy,â she acknowledges him first as a sign of respect. He nods back awkwardly. âYou two look like youâre enjoying yourselves.â
Neither of you talk for a moment and you find yourself desperate to create any word that could explain what that was. Leonâs eyes dart around the room.
Finally, something solid comes to your tongue. âIâm sorry.â
And then she laughs in both of your faces. Her hand waves like itâs fanning your words away from getting inhaled. You and Leon glance at each other, brows knit in honest confusion.
âKids,â she exhales. âStop distracting my medic, Kennedy.â
Then he speaks, but it sounds more like a nervous cough. âYes, maâam.â
Winona shoos him with a gesture of her wrinkled hand and he musters a sheepish, apologetic smile for you as he hurries away from the tent. You donât make much of an effort to move as you prepare your ego for the chew out itâs about to receive.
âAnd you. Try to keep the fraternization out of the tent.â With that, she continues past you to search through some files, snickering to herself and shaking her head.
You arenât about to push your luck. You get to keep your job and ego intact, and thatâs enough for you. So, you whisper a quiet, âYes, maâam.â And go on with your day.
The encounter with Leon left you feverish and all tingly in every limb whenever it crossed your mind over the following days. You saw him out and about around the base, and during meals he offered you frail waves that faded in a breath.Â
Truth was, youâre too afraid of rejection to ask him about that nightâgo figure. Maybe youâre a cliche. Maybe youâre both cliches. Who cares? Well, you do, and you thought the ruffled, pink-tinted expressions on Leonâs face whenever you crossed paths meant that he did, too, but neither of you made a move to approach the other. You questioned if you would rather be told that his only plans for you was a short work fling with no strings attached, or if he felt the connection that you did. A terrible predicament, really, and soon your desire for a straight answer outweighed the fear of hearing something you didnât like.Â
When you went to find him in the meal tent, sitting alone in one of the back corners, he wasnât there. Okay. You waited, then decided to check the nooks and crannies of the base where you knew he hung around, and nothing. Leon vanished into thin air the moment you gathered enough courage to speak to him. Somehow you thought he read your mind and planned for this to happen, just to be able to tease you without being present. But that was simply ridiculous. He had to go to work, just like you had to do yours.
A week went by, then two; no sign of Leonâs reappearance cropped up and you began to worry you wouldnât get the chance to speak to him at all. The only reminder that soothed you was the fact that you knew the organization was on the home stretch for completely wiping Umbrellaâs power in Iceland. This reassured you for many reasons. Mainly, that youâd be able to sleep in your bed again at a proper time that didnât leave you exhausted; but you also found comfort in the idea of finally getting a word with the blonde agent that clung to your brain like a disease once everything was over.Â
Of course, you had fleeting thoughts that he died and youâd forever be left wondering about what could have been. But, that was just ridiculousâheâs Leon Kennedy, the agent that saved the presidentâs daughter from certain death. So, you chalked it up to your anxiety being built up as doubt about the succession of the mission began to be put to an end. That yes, you would all return home soon, and no nothing terrible and tragic would happen just as you were about to win.
Eventually, you all received the verdict of the mission. Success. The sun shone through the clouds brighter that day, in ribbons of gold that elevated all of your senses to something dreamlike. Another catastrophe prevented. More people savedâclockwork. To say you were pleased with the conclusion of your first ever out of country operation would be an understatement; you were ecstatic.Â
Still, you find yourself fretting over that thing with Leon as you help pack up the equipment in the medical tent.
Winona, who has grown increasingly engrossed in your love life, gives you a knowing look when your lips tug downward and you send a pointed glance toward the entrance of the tent for the tenth time in the last hour. She tsks and shakes her head. It gains your attention.Â
âJust talk to him,â she insists, shoving a couple boxes of bandaids into the case. Sheâs unimpressed with your antics and just wants you to get a move on.Â
You sigh and preen your hair like heâll walk in at any moment. âI havenât seen him.â
âHopeless,â she grumbles in response. âHopeless. If you wonât do something about it, stop looking at the door like a kicked dog and help me.â Winona retreats further into the tent and you succumb enough to follow her.
You must glower the whole time because she wonât stop sending you dirty looks while she tapes the cardboard boxes with a tape gun. Her movements are threatening. You try to fix your expression when the line of spokes reflects off of the bright horizon outside the tent as it slices the tape.
After the innards of the tent are packed into a dozen or so boxes, youâre the person left to pick them up one by one and drop them off with the rest of the cargo that needs to be shipped. Your back is sore from the sorry excuses of beds you have and your arms ache from hours of cramming things. Kicking snow with each shuffled step, you heave out a lengthy sigh and pause to breathe. Thereâs a reason Iâm not an agent.
âNeed a hand?â Leon asks from behind you. Youâre wondering how heâs always sneaking up on you.
Still, you nod and canât help but be relieved. âPlease.â
Like itâs filled with air, he takes the box from your hands and cocks a barely-there grin at your awed expression. Smug and content, he marches ahead with you in tow. You donât really know what to say to him, if anything at all.Â
You walk alongside him for the first time in the daylight, and you take in his features now that they arenât muddled in the darkened firelight or blurred by distance. Heâs chiseled, sunken cheeks and high cheekbones with that intense look on in his eyesâbut thereâs something elseâboyish, is what you think. Soft jaw. Moles and freckles litter themselves across his face.Â
Leon is beautiful and you would like to kiss him right now.
He stops at the drop off point, places the box next to the others and turns to you. Suddenly, he looks nervous and you feel some resolve escape your mind. Heâs about to ask you something. He opens his mouth, rosy lips parting and you breakâyou pull him behind a tall stack of boxes and kiss him.
The collar of his jacket is clutched between your fingers in a moment and your lips are on his; the fur tickles your skin. His lips are chapped and cold but you create warmth within him, you could be a summerâs day in this frigid air. His hands come to your waist, then your hips and his fingertips make indents when he holds you tight like this was always supposed to happen. When you part, youâre both breathless.
He searches for his words again, the question he was going to ask. âWould youâdinner? On me.â
You hum in faux thought and peck him on the lips again, then again, and a third time for good measure. He smiles into the last one.
âIâll take that as a yes.â
âIâm surprised you didnât start that by saying you stubbed your toe and needed my help.â
Leon chuckles. âI thought about it.â
He pulls you in again, tongue grazing your bottom lip. You lean in further, desperate for connection until you both go slipping like baby deer. The thin layer of snow on the ground left everything icy. He tumbles into some supplies and you land on top of him. Youâre both laughing into each otherâs mouths. Youâre both happy.
You chime together, like clockwork.

before continuing remember reblogs are incredibly important and please read how to support me here
âThis is fucking stupid.â
âRestart it.â
Wonwoo laughs even as his lips brush over your throat and your moans carry through the room to tempt Seungcheolâs ears. He knew his friend was frustrated, but that was the point of the game. Could Seungcheol make it through a single round of the game without cursing?
Glancing over his shoulder, Seungcheol groans to the sight of your back arched off the bed. You were beautiful and he wanted nothing more than to throw the controller in his hand onto the desk and bury his cock into you. Instead, he was clenching the plastic and metal in his hand so hard it was popping under the pressure.
âAhâŚfuck you feel so good.â Wonwoo groans the words as he rolls his hips towards yours. You were clenching around him deliciously. He knew you were close, but he wouldnât let you cum too quickly. âCheolâŚif you break my things I wonât let you play with Y/N.â
Muttering under his breath, Seungcheol loosens his grip on the controller only to feel it vibrate in his hands and to see his character die in the game.
âOh, what the fuck! This isnât fair.â
Wonwoo raises a brow, sliding his arm under your back to lift you toward him as he glances at the man sitting at his desk. He knew that Seungcheol knew the rules so he just watched as the man pressed restart with a pout on his face. Wonwoo couldnât help but grin situating you into his lap, your knees on either side of his strong but slender thighs.
âCome on baby, give him a pep talk. At this point, the poor man is going to be running around the same area while I make you cum to the point of exhaustion and then he wonât get to fuck you because you wonât be able to stay awake.â
Heat spreads across your cheeks at Wonwooâs words, but you knew he wasnât joking. Not with that dark look in his eyes and with the way his hips were pistoning into you like a man on a mission. You knew you were leaking obscenely over his cock and his thighs, but it only served to make him work harder.
âCheollieâŚoh god! I need you to win the game. I want your cock too. Donât you want my pussy around your cock? Havenât you missed me? Just be a good boy and donât curse.â
The sound of an exasperated breath escapes Seungcheolâs lips at your words. The man shakes his head in disbelief at how filthy your little mouth could be and he finds himself wanting to stuff it full of his cock or fingers instantly.
âYou have no idea how fuâfreaking distracting you are right now Y/N. This game is already aâŚitâs hard, but I also have to listen to your slutty little mouth running and moaning behind me and there isnât a thing I can do about it.â
Wonwoo smirks when you smile at Seungcheolâs words and how he manages to skip around the words that would get him sent back to the beginning of the level once again. A sharp slap to your ass draws your attention back to your boyfriend who lifts his brows at you, his bottom lip caught in his teeth between groaning breaths.
âIâm sorry, Seungcheol. I just canât be quiet. Not when Wonwooâs so deep inside of me and when I know that you are so hard. I canât help but want you both inside of me. Try harder for me? I need you to fuck me. I might cry if you donât.â
Laughing, Seungcheol lifts his hand from the controller briefly to brush his hair back as he bites back the urge to curse. He was now further in the game than he had been all night so maybe your little pep talk was actually working. Either way, he wanted to give you exactly what you wanted while also teaching you just who he was.
âDonât you worry your pretty little head, baby. Iâll make sure you cry, how does that sound? Now let me finish this game so I can show your boyfriend a thing or two, huh?â
When you giggle, amused with Seungcheolâs answer, Wonwooâs hand meets your ass once again causing you to moan his name as you clench around him tightly.
âSo much talk and not enough playing. Mm, sheâs gonna cum, Cheol. Youâre gonna miss the first one. What a damn shame, all because you canât restrain your mouth.â
With his thumb pressed against your clit, Wonwoo keeps his eyes on your face as he watches you fall apart on his cock for the first time that night. Seungcheolâs groan fills the room, but instead of the sound of a pleasured groan, it is an annoyed one as he listens to your whining moans. Slowing his thrusts, Wonwoo lets his fingers trail along your thighs. A smirk on his face, eyes locked on yours, your boyfriend lets you roll your hips over him to ride out your high.
âSuch a good fucking girl.â
Lifting a hand to his face, Wonwoo pushes sweat from his brow before looking over at Seungcheol. The manâs shoulders tense, his eyes locked on the screen as he tries desperately to keep his attention on the task at hand. Even from where he was Wonwoo could see how far Seungcheol was in the game. He had played it so many times he knew the map by heart and with you still clenching around him, he knew you were desperate for another orgasm.
âWatch that building Cheol. Youâll get hit and sent back.â
Surprised by his friendâs merciful tip, Seungcheol almost misses the gunmen hiding in the building but is able to dodge the shot letting out a sigh under his breath. You watch under lowered lids as the man bites at his plush lips trying to keep any forbidden words from slipping between them.
âOh godâŚthatâs so good. Wonwoo, heâs getting so far. I need more, go harder?â
Leaning his head forward, Seungcheol laughs in disbelief at what he is hearing and missing. Forcing himself to keep his eyes forward, just a growl of frustration slipping from his bitten lips. When Seungcheol finally drops the controller onto the desk with a loud thud, the screen proudly displays the level complete.
Wonwoo can only laugh, his hand resting next to your head as he thrusts into you hard and deep like you had asked. His eyes meet Seungcheolâs as the man swivels the chair around to take in the scene in front of him.
âI did it. I finished it.â
Nodding, Wonwoo smirks at his friend, lifting his hand to brush your hair from your eyes as he leans you back on the bed so you can look at Seungcheol.
âAnd now you want your prize, Cheollie?â
Scoffing, Seungcheol nods before moving to stand from his chair. You canât help the way your eyes fall on the obvious bulge in the front of his sweatpants that causes your mouth to water and for you to clench around Wonwoo.
âI think I deserve it. You have no fucking idea how hard that was. All that moaning and whining behind my back. You like having cock inside you that much, little whore?â
Watching the man, you arch your back letting out a moan when Wonwooâs teeth graze over your soft skin near your nipple. Your boyfriendâs low chuckle draws your attention back to him only for him to tilt your head back towards Seungcheol so you can watch the man undress.
âDonât be rude, Princess. He earned this, didnât he? Youâve whined about wanting him back in our bed.â
Seungcheol smirks at Wonwooâs words, his hands making quick work of his shirt letting your eyes drink in the sight before you. Whining Seungcheolâs name, you cling to the sheet under you causing the fabric to strain under your fingertips. You knew the man was teasing you just as much as you knew your boyfriend was enjoying the way your pussy was clenching around his cock.
âWhat is it, Y/N? Am I not moving fast enough for you? I had to sit at that desk for almost an hour listening to Wonwooâs fingers fucking you and then his dick. Do you realize how wet you get and how loud it is? Do you even know how to muffle your moans?â
Shaking your head no, you feel your cheeks heat up. Wonwoo smiles against your breasts before leaning to sit up, his hands sliding along your thighs. The manâs eyes fall between your legs to where his cock slowly enters you again and again.
âWould you want her to be quiet? If she had been, your dumbass would still be dodging headshots.â
Seungcheol rolls his eyes, his thumbs pushing at his sweatpants. Grumbling under his breath, he steps forward letting his pants fall to the floor when his eyes meet yours, and his ego soars. Seungcheol canât help but to smirk at how your mouth is watering over the sight of his cock. Tilting his head, he lifts his brow before stepping closer to the bed moving to rest his knee on the mattress, keeping just out of reach of you.
âWhatâs that look for, baby? You like what you see that much? You already have a cock inside you and you are looking at me like Iâm something to eat. You want something in that cute little mouth?â
Reaching out, Seungcheolâs lips fall open at your soft gasp as his thumb brushes against your lips. The feeling of your warm tongue presses to the pad of his finger and the manâs mind spins with how much he wants you.
âWonwooâŚhelp me slide her back or Iâll pull her off your dick.â
Rolling his eyes, Wonwoo bites back his annoyance with Seungcheol choosing to give in to his request instead. You smile at your boyfriend as his hands lift at your hips and Seungcheolâs wrap under your arms so that the men can move you towards the end of the bed.
âYou could have just asked me to move.â
Seungcheol laughs, his fingers brushing over your head before you feel his fingers tighten against your scalp causing you to whine into a moan. Wonwoo narrows his eyes until he watches your mouth fall open in pleasure, the other man leaning down to speak against your lips.
âWhatâs the fun in that? When you have two men here whoâd happily move you all over this house to fuck you? Do me a favor and open that mouth. Stick out your tongue.â
Watching you follow Seungcheolâs requests, Wonwoo digs his fingers into your thighs quickening his thrusts, beginning to feel that sense of possessiveness rush over him like it had in the past when he had shared you. It wasnât that he couldnât do this, it wasnât that he didnât want to, or that he didnât enjoy it. The point was that it brought out a different side of Wonwoo, it made him want to claim you even more.
âYou remember the rules, Cheol?â
Waving his hand at Wonwoo, Seungcheol dismisses his friend in place of watching your tongue slip from your mouth. A smirk spreads across his face, Seungcheol groans, his hand wrapping around his shaft so that he can guide his cock to your waiting mouth.
âFuck, good girl. You look so pretty like this. Getting fucked and still wanting my cock down your throat.â
You canât help but whine at Seungcheolâs words and the weight of his cock on your tongue. Your eyes locked on him, you lean forward to take his head into your mouth, relishing the sound of his groan when warmth envelopes him and you hollow your cheeks.
Fingers once again tighten in your hair, nails sliding against your scalp as Seungcheol leans his head back to close his eyes. The feeling of your mouth was almost as good as being between your thighs and he was going to commit it to memory.
Thrusting into you hard enough to send you towards Seungcheol, Wonwoo groans your name before pulling from you completely, causing you to whine around Seungcheol. With a sharp slap to your thigh, Wonwoo then leans down to press a kiss to your warm skin as his cock throbs at the loss of your warm walls around him. He just couldnât finish first, not when Seungcheol was in the room, he needed to be the last person you were with.
âTake it all, Princess. There you goâŚall the way to your throat. Perfect.â
The moment the tip of Seungcheolâs cock hits the back of your throat and you gag around the man you have to pull back not only to breathe but because of the feeling of Wonwooâs mouth between your legs. His lips wrap around your clit and with the same intensity you had been using to go down on Seungcheol, your boyfriend sucks at the sensitive bundle of nerves causing you to tighten your thighs around his head.
âHoly shit! Calm down, Y/N. I canât cum in your mouth and I donât want to. FuckâŚkeep your damn hips down. Canât you see that Wonwoo is working hard for you? Donât run away from him.â
The two men caused your head to spin. One minute they were arguing, biting at each otherâs throats over nonsense and the next they were working together to drive you crazy. Sliding his hand along the center of your stomach, Seungcheol works his fingers between your legs using two of them to spread your folds for Wonwooâs tongue. A smirk spreads across his features at your reaction, the way your back arches before he pushes you back down.
âYou gonna cum on his tongue like a good little slut? Be a good girl for your boyfriend. Heâs being generous tonight. Give him one more before I fuck you so hard you canât walk tomorrow.â
Nudging his nose against Seungcheolâs hand, Wonwoo groans against your folds before moving to wrap his arm around your thigh pulling you in closer to his mouth. You loved anytime that Wonwoo would eat you out but there was something different about tonight. There was something about how he seemed to be trying to prove a point with how quickly he could push you over the edge by knowing every inch of you.
âOh my godâŚWonwoo!â
Your fingers slide into the manâs hair, tightening harshly when you cum like both of the men had been urging you to do. Wonwoo smiles against your soft skin taking turns between licking you clean of the cum beginning to seep from your entrance to placing kisses on your swollen folds and clit.
âThatâs my girl.â
Your cheeks burn at Wonwooâs muffled words, your fingers gliding through his hair once again before the manâs gaze meets yours from between his legs. A glint of mischief in his eyes before he leans to nip at your thigh causing you to kick your legs playfully when he moves from between them.
âCheolâŚneed you now. I feel empty. You made promises.â
The man at your side can only laugh at your words and how you whine them on panting breaths. He loved to hear you beg for him but he wasnât in the mood to deny you tonight, not when he had been waiting for so long to be inside you.
Sliding from the bed, Seungcheol can feel your eyes on him as he stops only to pick up the condom that Wonwoo had laid out for him. The same smirk that had been playing at his lips all night causes his lips to pull up to one side even as he holds the foil square between his teeth and rips it open.
You canât seem to help how antsy you are in anticipation watching Seungcheol roll the condom over his thick cock. His eyes once again find you as he moves to take Wonwooâs place. Warm, skillful hands slide over your sides to your legs as Seungcheol listens to your breaths become moans.
Wonwooâs brows furrow, his cock resting back on his stomach as he settles into the chair beside the bed. Running his hand over his face, Wonwoo has a mental fight with himself on how long he will stay seated. How long he will be able to just sit there and watch his best friend touch you like that. It isnât until you gasp out Seungcheolâs name, the older manâs hands pushing your legs towards your chest, his arms moving to pin yours at your side that Wonwoo makes another sound.
âDammit, Cheol, be careful with her.â
Seungcheol smirks against your cheek, the feeling of your warm breath brushing against his face as he feels the heat of your pussy against his cock resting against your folds. Lifting his hips, the man glances towards Wonwoo with a questioning look before reaching between your bodies to line himself up with you and sinking into you slowly and deeply.
âIâm not doing anything she doesnât want. You know your safe words donât you, baby? Do you want me to treat you soft and gentle? OrâŚdo you want me to keep my promise and wreck you?â
Tears run from the corners of your eyes as you whisper your answer to Seungcheol causing Wonwoo to curse under his breath. He already knew the answer but it was driving him crazy. He knew better than anyone how much you enjoyed Seungcheol treating you like this, he knew that you liked it when he treated you rough. There was a time and a place for gentle lovemaking and it wasnât tonight.
âPlease, CheolâŚdonât stop. Feels so good, youâre so deep.â
Seungcheol chuckles into a groan. Your walls closing around him, the man nips at your lips before capturing them in a kiss for the first time that night swallowing your moan for himself. Wonwoo can only watch feeling as if he was tied to the chair, his cock leaking heavily against his abs.
âThatâs right I am, Y/N. You like me deep? Hmm? Fuck, you are so tight. Wanna fill this pussy up with my cum, youâd want that, wouldnât you? Leave it all dirty for you? Wonwoo would clean it up for you, wouldnât you Wonwoo?â
Fingers digging into the chair, Wonwoo bites at his lips hearing you moan that you want it. He knew you were lost in the moment and he also knew there was no way, short of Seungcheol taking off the condom, that he could cum inside of you. This was a power trip and one that Seungcheol enjoyed far too much when it came to fucking you.
âYou are fucking pushing your luck, Cheol. Youâll never do that to her.â
Seungcheol laughs, his lips sliding along your neck as he feels your thighs trembling against his chest under him. He could tell you were close, but so was he. Groaning out your name, Seungcheol runs his tongue along your neck to your ear whispering against your ear loud enough for Wonwoo to just barely hear.
âNever say never, right little whore?â
Scratching at his arms, you gasp out a moan loudly as your orgasm rips through you when Seungcheolâs cock hits you just right. Toes pointed, you find it hard to breathe, your vision clouded by tears from how intense the sensation is when the man burying his cock into you doesnât slow down. Instead, Seungcheol chases his own high that quickly follows yours. With a loud groan, Seungcheol buries his face back against your neck as his cum fills the condom instead of you.
His hips coming to a stop, Seungcheol pants against your skin before leaning back to look down at you in wonder. Lifting his hand, the man rests it against your throat before running his fingers along your jaw and leaning down to kiss you deeply as he keeps his body connected to yours.
Swallowing hard, Wonwoo tilts his head. His own breath was unsteady from watching you and Seungcheol come undone together. He allows you both a few moments of silence until it becomes too much to handle and the sound of the chair under him sliding across the floor draws both yours and Seungcheolâs attention.
Lips pull up in a smile against your own before Seungcheol pulls away. A soft whimper escapes your lips to the feeling of the man sliding from you leaving you once again empty. Licking his lips, Seungcheol glances at Wonwoo unsure of what his reaction would be. He isnât completely surprised when he meets an unamused gaze.
âPrincess, did you have fun with Cheol?â
Nodding, you lift your own hand to your face pushing your hair from your eyes as Seungcheol helps you lower your legs. The man then slides from the bed completely not wanting to piss off Wonwoo any more than he already had.
âMm, I had fun too, baby. Maybe we can do it again soon.â
Wonwoo purses his lips glancing back at Seungcheol who had already taken care of his condom.
âSoon" is a relative term. Do you still want me, Princess?â
Looking up at Wonwoo as if he had asked you the dumbest question possible, you watch the manâs lips turn up in a smile when you reach for him. Seungcheolâs brows lift as his friend moves back onto the bed without first telling him to leave.
âDid you want me toâŚâ
âSit the fuck down and watch, Cheol.â
With his brow lifting, Seungcheol clears his throat before doing as Wonwoo wants. His hands find the arms of the chair, similar to how Wonwoo had when he had been sitting before, but it felt different for Seungcheol.
âYou seeâŚâ Wonwoo grins looking down at you, his fingernails running along your thigh to pull your leg up towards his hip allowing you to do the same on the other side as he pushes into you with one slow thrust. âWhere you can talk shit and say how much you want to fill her upâŚI can do it.â
A breath escapes Seungcheolâs lips and as much as you want to look over to the man, the feeling of Wonwooâs cock pushing against your cervix keeps you where you are. Your lips fall open in a moan and much like Seungcheol had done, Wonwoo leans to kiss you collecting the moan for himself. Teeth nip at your lips leaving them feeling swollen and bitten as Wonwooâs cock fills you deeply and completely with each skillful, knowing thrust.
âThatâs what you want isnât it, Y/N? Cum dripping out of you? You wanna let Seungcheol see what he can do? Let him learn his fucking place?â
When you nod, Seungcheol lifts his hand to his lips pushing at them as his cock throbs against his thigh once again hard. He knew he should be pissed off that Wonwoo was talking so much shit but instead, he was fascinated by it all.
âPlease, WonwooâŚI need it.â
Wonwoo pouts in faux concern at the whine in your tone as you beg for his cum. He was close and he was going to give you exactly what you wanted. Nodding, your boyfriend nips at your lips once again whispering how much he loves you against them as the coil that had been winding inside of him snaps. You feel his warm cum spilling into you only to be pushed out with each deep thrust.
Seungcheol can only groan at the sight, his breath getting caught in his throat. Even if it wasnât his cum dripping out of your pussy it was still the most beautiful thing he had seen all night. He could just imagine pushing it back into you. As if he could sense what his friend wanted, Wonwoo slips from you only to reach between your legs. Two fingers brush between your swollen folds to find your dripping entrance. Your loud moans once again fill the room as Wonwoo fucks his cum back into you with his fingers making sure he feels your cum running down his wrist along with his own before he stops.
âFuck, perfect.â
Whispered words tickle your ear as Wonwoo slides his fingers from you. His lips pepper your neck and shoulder until you feel the bed shift as the man slides from it completely. The feeling of Seungcheolâs plush lips finds your cheek along with the warmth of his chuckle as he whispers for you to get some rest your eyes close when both men leave you in the room alone. It isnât until Wonwooâs hands run along your hips and his deep voice mutters against your ear sometime later that you whine in protest causing him to laugh.
âYouâve slept long enough. You need to take a shower and eat something. I should have made you get up right afterwards but you were dead to the world.â
Muttering against the bed, you cause a laugh to escape Wonwoo as he pulls you up from the comforter into his arms with a questioning sound for you to speak again.
âSaid, where is Seungcheol?â
Gentle fingers brush against your side as Wonwoo helps you slide off the bed and towards the bathroom. His lips meet your neck with a sigh at your question.
âHe went home. He needed to rest too. You are a lot of work, you know that?â
Pushing at his shoulder, you canât hide your smile. Wonwoo walks you into the warm shower letting you lean against him as he helps you wash the night from your skin.
âI liked it.â
The man nods, a smile on his lips feeling you nuzzle your face against his neck. It was becoming a lot easier to share when he was the one who got the moments like this at the end.
âMm, I know. I liked it too. Heâs gotta work on his damn mouth first. Canât have that around my, Princess.â
Wrinkling your nose, you laugh at how Wonwoo phrases his comment, turning in his arms to rest your forearms on his shoulders as you rest between his knees. The manâs body leaning against the shower wall, the water running down your back and legs like rain.
âSeems like someone needs to work on yours.â
Wonwoo grins, his lips pressing against your soft and sweet.
âMmm, you gonna help me with that?â
Laughing, you brush your fingers through the wet hair at the nape of his neck as his fingers trail along your lower back.
âItâs the least I can do.â

The End
Wally Clark x Reader
Two people died on September 23rd, 1983. One laid out on a football field before hundreds of people, and the other left behind on the cold floor of the boy's locker room.
Word Count: 1.7k
Tags: Sexual assault, semi-graphic depictions of SA, including: almost direct aftermath, reader is naked in the beginning, mentions of blood, and implied loss of virginity via SA, flashback to SA; death, reader's death is overlooked, ANGST
Characters: Wally Clark, Reader, Dalton (OC)
Read it on AO3!
A/N: The Doors title. Hey ya'll. I cannot believe the love I've been getting on this page, and it's driving me past my writer's block more than anything. With school starting, I can feel the academic anxiety kicking in, but I use my writing as a coping method when I can. This story has very intense topics (as stated in the tags) and is not meant to idealize any topics in any way. This was inspired by @general-fanfiction's Hopes and Fears series (GO READ IT RN), and @whoopsyeahokay's October Sun series (ALSO GO READ IT RN). If this story is well received, or I just feel the urge to, I'll probably turn it into a series (bc this sucks as a one-shot). As always, please heed the warnings, and read only if you're comfortable.
Wally Clark Masterlist | School Spirits Masterlist | Main Page Masterlist
Blood was everywhere.
It slid down your legs and dribbled onto the cold floor of the locker room. Every inch of your skin felt like it was too tight for your bones, and all you wanted to do was reach down your throat and rip out your heart.
Copper flooded your mouth. The tang brushed against the back of your chattering teeth, and all you could think about was how you wanted to crawl to the nearby shower and let it run until one of the coaches found you and dragged you out.
It wasnât supposed to be like this.
Move. You told yourself. All of your limbs ached. Nothing felt real.
You didnât want this to be real.
It was supposed to be kind. Gentle. An act out of pure love.
Standing up proved to be hard, and it was like no one was able to hear you screaming out for help. Filtered out by the people flooding the halls, hustling to the big homecoming game going on that night.
The tiled walls provided little help as you brought yourself to a standing position, walking slowly as you felt your feet brush against the pile of your shoes, pants, and underwear on the floor. The touch stopped your heart, breaking a new tier of hate and regret across your body.
He said he loved me.
You turned on the shower, cranking the knob to the hottest setting, knowing that the water wouldnât get anywhere near warm. Water slid harshly over your body, and you felt it pelt against spots of dried blood on your thighs.
You wished you never come to this stupid football game.
You wished you werenât as ignorant, or as gullible, or as love-blind as you had been in the past three months.
You wished you never met him.
His face felt bitter and sharp in your head, poking and prodding, as if trying to stick the memory of his hands on you for eternity.
Time passed irregularly, no one came in or out of the locker room, and you were sure that the football game had to have reached its end by all of the cheering and yelling you heard outside.
After using all of the hot water in the gym wing, you slowly walked to the lines of lockers, trying even glimpsing in the direction of your clothes. tried to open every locker until one popped open, revealing a pair of grey sweatpants, a sweatshirt, a muscle tank, blue gym shorts, and a matching varsity jacket with #57 stitched on the arm.
You grabbed the matching sweatsuit, balling it in your arms and silently apologizing to the boy youâd never return the clothing to.
He probably wonât even notice, you told yourself.
You turned the corner around a line of lockers and you could swear you were going crazy. A bare foot poked out from behind the last line of lockers, limply tilted against your pile of clothes, painted a chipped wine red.
You blinked hard, looking down at your own chipped wine-red toes, and you clutched the clothing you stole to your naked body. The cotton was soft compared to the cold tile bracing against your feet, and you brought your eyes to look back to the pile of clothing on the floor.
Bile pooled at the back of your mouth as you hesitantly stepped closer to the foot that hadnât disappeared. ďťżďťżďťżďťżYouâre going crazy, you told yourself, but the more and more you stared at the limp, pale body - your limp, pale body - whose features were more of a brutal mass than a face, the less it was going away.
You barely made it past the urinals and into an open stall before you dry-heaved into a toilet.
You were dead.
You couldnât be.
As you zipped up the stolen hoodie and sweatpants, you tried to remember it all. Kissing under the bleachers before the game, him asking you to come with him while he grabbed something from his gym locker.
Every agonizing second you asked him to stop, to stop pressing you into the lockers because one of the locks was digging into your back; his decrepit hands sliding at your waistline, pushing and prodding past the fabric of your clothes.
Nothing would come up from your stomach.
Could ghosts vomit? You asked yourself, slowly standing to your feet and walking back over to your dead body.
Conversations started to flood the hallway, every muscle in your body coming briefly to attention before you flew out the door and screamed into the rushing crowd of students.
âHello?â You called out, reaching your arm into the crowd, only to watch it get run through like something out of Star Wars.
Your body became hot, and even though you knew deep down that no one could see you, you pushed your tears back down your choking throat and felt your cheeks heat up with shame.
You walked into the crowd, who was thinning out the further you got from the hallway. Your body tensed for a moment, seeing the lights of police cars and ambulances pulling up to the school. Expecting to see the paramedics rushing toward your body, you waited for them to split the crowd, to start heading toward the school, but they were bolting the other way.
Straight toward the football field.
This school has to be fucking cursed.
One of the players was splayed out on the field, his head gently being lifted as paramedics were tugging his helmet off his head. The football team from whatever school yours was playing against was sitting on the bench, whispering and pointing to another one of their players who was talking to a police officer further down the field.
57.
The number sewn on the jacket hanging among the clothes you stole stood out against the dark blue of the playerâs helmet. People gasped and a woman cried out as the paramedic set the helmet aside, revealing the face of the schoolâs resident golden boy; a dark bruise crawled up his neck, and his mouth guard slid between his lips as his limp head hung unnaturally over his shoulder.
You walked closer, straight through the forming line of police officers, and looked into the field. At the edge of the bleachers, waving his arms around and yelling into a silent group of people, stood Wally Clark.
Wally Clark is dead.
Just like I am.
You took off running, the activity coming easier to you when you were alive.
Alive.
âWally!â You called out, and the football player snapped his body to your voice, his eyes wide and seeming relieved that someone was talking to him.
You stopped, resting your hands on your hips as he hopped down from the bleachers.
âWhatâs happening? Why- why is no one talking to me? What did I do?â He asked, skipping the formalities. He came to stand on the field before you, the football gear he was wearing sending a rush of debilitating shame through your body.
You faltered for a moment, his face flashing in your eyes before you rubbed your face back to reality.
âYou didnât do anything, Wally.â You managed to push out, pushing your eyes anywhere but on him.
âThen what is happening? I feel like Iâm going crazy, one minute Iâm running with the ball, and boom- Iâm at the bleachers, trying to get my mother to talk to me and she wonât even look up at me. I know sheâs pissed at me about going on the bench, but I mean I got back in the game, and now Iâm guessing coach is pissed at me on insisting to get back in and-â
âYouâre dead.â You cut off his rambling, forcing yourself to meet his face without looking away after a second, âI mean, I think weâre both dead.â
First, he smiled. Like what you said was some kind of joke. After you said nothing, he started toward the sidewalk, where his mother was now alongside a stretcher being lifted into an ambulance. You could see the tears on her face from where you were, each step you followed Wally, the easier it was to see her sorrow.
Then, as he was following his mother, he suddenly was gone, like he was plucked off the Earth by God himself.
That was until you turned to see him standing on the football field, right where his body was previously lying, tugging at the roots of his hair.
You hovered your foot, leveraging that if you stood on the sidewalk, you would be slingshotted back to the menâs locker room.
You decided to trust your gut and instead talked to Wally.
âI canât be dead, I mean, that would mean youâre dead, and I literally saw you in the hallway this morning,â Wally said as he paced in a small area before you, âand I know for sure that I saw you because you were hanging around Daltonâs locker, which was weird because everyone on the team thought he had some college girl or something he was hanging out with-â
You didnât register some of the words he was saying, instead you tried to control your thoughts from ripping you back to your last moments on earth at his name.
â-I mean, do you even know how crazy this sounds?â
You took in a shaky breath, wiping your hands over your face to poorly conceal any emotions that unwillingly spread onto your features, âYeah, but thatâs the thing, Wally. I am dead.â
Saying you were dead for the first time out loud was a lot heavier than you thought it would be.
Youâre pretty sure that if the insanity of Wally being killed hadnât overridden your brain, you would be somewhere huddled up and screaming for some greater power to give you eternal rest.
âWhat? Thatâs not possible, I mean, the people you were here with wouldâve noticed you were gone. Dalton wouldâve noticed you were gone.â
You didnât want to give his name as much power as you did, but your body tightened up hearing it. You didnât correct him, instead opting to stare at the dark woods on the far end of the field, your eyes burning once more.
âY/N,â you were a little surprised that he knew your name, and even more when he stood in front of you with the most gentle expression youâd ever seen, âwhat happened after school? How did you die?â

The Very First... Second... Third Night
A/N: Hey guys, happy fall!!! Fun fact about me, I love Season one reid so much it's not even funny. That's pookie!!!!! Anyways, enjoy this little fluffy cute thing I wrote in a romance-infused haze (I saw that photo of MGG in that pumpkin sweater at knott's berry farms and I needed Spencer in a Halloween way). MAYBE some porn coming soon idk man. Love you all!!-Em <3
Link to the Ao3: The Very First... Second... Third Night ->Link to the: Yee olde masterlist Tags: Can't remember if I use any female pronouns for reader, but warning just incase. Season one reid, MENTION OF JEID, SPENCELLE, AND bisexual Reid, Spencer reid being critical of himself, Spencer's POV for the most part, jello mentioned guys, Overstimulated Spencer Reid at a football game, mention of a cemetery, mention of Nosferatu (1922). Kind of proofread, yippie!!!
Genre: Fluffy meet cutes. Pairing: Season One! Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader.
Plot: Spencer runs into you twice before but only manages to get your name (and number) the third time.
Word Count: 3,863
First Meeting
Spencer canât remember the last time this bookstore was so crowded. Personally, he tried to go on early Sunday mornings to avoid the crowdsâ if anyâ that came into the shop. Maybe he was being overdramatic. There couldnât have been more than twenty people in the store with him. But it was still twenty too many. He softly apologizes to the elderly woman as he squeezes past her in the narrow nonfiction aisle.Â
Most of the crowd seemed to be hovering around the fiction area, which was fine with himâ the further away, the better. With his head turned to watch the small crowd bustle about the store, he didnât notice the person standing just inches from him in the aisle.Â
You stared at him with a confused expression for a second, thinking surely this man would move eventually. But the moment never came. He was tall with brown hair and long eyelashes. He had the fashion sense of a teacherâ correction, teacherâs assistant. You clear your throat softly, hardcover clutched in hand as you watch the manâs head snap over to you, his cheeks flushing red.Â
âIâm sorry I didnât see you. Not that youâre hard to missâ I mean in a good way, youâreââ He closes his mouth and swallows hard, looking into your gentle eyes. âIâm sorry.âÂ
You would have felt a little agitated if he hadnât seemed so earnest, but this man oozes social anxiety, and your heart takes pity on him. Your lips move to a slow smile, and you whisper a sweet, âThatâs alright,âÂ
Spencerâs sure heâs never seen kinder eyes, âItâs just so busy today. I was looking at the crowd,âÂ
Your head turns at that, allowing Spencer to take in your features. A light sweater to accommodate the cool air this early-October morning, some Halloween earrings that make Spencer smile, and stunning eyes. âBook signing pop-up, itâll be crazy until three. At least that's what the stock girl told me.â Youâre soft-spoken, too. Spencer can appreciate that.
He nods slightly, looking down at the hardcover in your hand and then over at the crowd again, âAre you not here for the book signing?âÂ
âAfraid not,â You sigh as you hold up a historical fiction novel, âMe and my historical fiction novel were going to take a gander at some biographies.âÂ
He canât help his peaked interest as he licks his lips, âRegarding?â Heâs a fan of history himself and is always happy to interact with someone who also shares a love for it. He feels slightly less anxious talking about something he knows.
You twist your lips to the side like youâre silently debating whether or not you should tell him. You look away for a second, your eyes scanning the bookshelves on either side of you. âSalem Witch Trials.â You answer him bluntly.Â
Spencer nods like he understands precisely what you mean, âAh, the more humane witch trials.â It's a funny joke⌠to him, at least.Â
But then your lips twitch upwards as you let out a quiet chuckle, âNo burning for us, just rope and intense torture.âÂ
He feels electric, which is stupid because he shouldnât feel excited over something as simple as someone joking with him, but he does. Heâs been working on it upon Derekâs sarcastic request, and he canât help but wonder if it is finally paying off now.Â
Spencer feels the overwhelming urge to partake in what Garcia describes as âinfo-dumping ,â but he bites his tongue as he settles on a simple question, âHow come?âÂ
You shrug slightly as you look up at him. The bookstore light keeps making his eyes a soft amber, and youâre having a hard time looking away now. âHalloween tradition.â You watch his eyebrow furrow, raising a hand to explain yourself quickly. âMy best friend and I each pick a historical event that is relatively macabre, and then we base our costumes around it and throw a party with a related theme. Itâs... Itâs stupid.â You say with a smile and a wave of your hand dismissively.Â
Meanwhile, Spencerâs too busy thinking youâre the most extraordinary girl heâs ever interacted with. For the first time in his life, heâs desperate for an invite to a strangerâs partyâa pretty stranger who has yet to tell him her name.Â
âThatâs not-âÂ
A womanâs voice cuts him off as she barrels down the aisle with a grin, âThere you are, ohâŚâ Her blue eyes look Spencer up and down carefully, studying him. âHello, there.â Sheâs direct and forward and speaks in a tone that tells Spencer to leave you the hell alone.Â
He nods curtly, waving slightly at your friend. You sigh out with mock annoyance as you say, âHeâs a friendly, put your gun away.âÂ
âI donât believe in guns.âÂ
âTheyâre very real, trust me.â Is your sarcastic reply before looking at Spencer again. âThanks for the company. Iâll see you around.â And just like that⌠youâre gone.Â
Second Meeting
Spencer is sure heâll never see you again, but here he is a week later, still thinking about you on a case. Or rather, heâs thinking about every woman ever and that heâll never have a chance with any of them⌠ever. Heâs feeling rather lonely, or maybe his self-esteem is taking a certain nose-dive this fine San Diego day.Â
Itâs not because itâs his birthday. He doesnât hate his birthday like Elle hates hersâ thatâs what she told him onceâthe day started off great: the trick candles, the big birthday hat, his embarrassing crush on JJ. And now, theyâre discussing the case, a routine he enjoys.Â
His mind, always full of helpful information, quickly recognized the ballad from the 17th centuryâ betwixt death and a lady. After his comment regarding what people could find by typing the word âdeathâ in the search engine, Derekâs laughing, âReid, no wonder you canât get a date.â
It sticks on him; he would love to let it slide off his back, but heâs not familiar with that kind of territoryâ dating, that isâ so it hits a nerve. A nerve that Spencer didnât know was so exposed. The worst part is that Derekâs not wrong. Spencer canât seem to get a date. Not with the pretty intellectual at the bookstore, JJ, or Elleâ though that last one feels strange to admit to himself.Â
Heâs too awkward, speaks too fast, and, according to Gideon, needs to relax more. Heâs sure⌠heâs cute, actually, he doesnât know if he is. All he knows is that his mind is brilliant, his skills involving women⌠not so much.Â
Heâs silently mulling it over as he approaches one of the bulletin boards, muttering lines of the ballad softly when JJ walks up beside him, âCreepy, huh?â Her voice makes him look at her, hesitating as he replies.Â
âActually, uh, conversations between death and his victims was a fairly popular literary and artistic theme throughout the Renaissance.â Heâs staring at the bulletin for a second before glancing her away, and his cheeks feel hot when he sees the way JJ is looking at himâ disinterest. âBut, yeah, creepy.âÂ
He feels like a teenager, and all those years spent in college and not high school are coming back to bite him. He liked girls and boys, too. He should be better at this, he has an IQ of 187 and five degrees to prove it. Spencer walks away from the conversation quickly, his feet carrying him away from the embarrassing moment as quickly as possible. He needs to focus on the case.Â
And focus he does. Heâs happy to analyze the meaning of the ballads at the crime scenes, his anxiety calming as he settles into the sweet caress of facts. Feelings, beauty, and tastes were all subjective. The objective was his comfort zone.
So it stands to reason that he feels lighter after conversing with Gideon about why the UnSub would start to use the ballad if it wasnât a part of his signature. However, after the team delivers the profile, his lightness returns to his ruminating thoughts surrounding his lack of social skills.Â
The more he thinks about it, the more he feels the icy breath of repressed memories breathing down his neck. A jammed locker, missing gym clothes, a dark bathroom bolted shut. As the team waits for the UnSubâs suspected phone call to the tip line, he reaches for his bag to pull out a Rubix cube.Â
His fingers quickly twist and turn it aimlessly until he feels like itâs mixed around enough for him to solve it again. Elle is sitting in a desk chair in front of him as he solves it. He wants to ask her if sheâd ever consider dating him, if she thinks JJ would, or if she feels any self-respecting woman would. He doesnât, though, the question sounding too desperate in his head to say it out loud.Â
Instead, he asks, âDo you think itâs weird that I knew that ballad?â His eyes donât stray away from the cube for too long as he asks it, scared of what Elleâs gaze might tell him.Â
Heâs pleasantly surprised when she chuckles and says, âI donât know how it is that you know half the things you know, but Iâm glad you do.âÂ
Spencer feels insecure when he speaks again, but he has to know the answer, âDo you think itâs why I canât get a date?â He looks up at her now, waiting for the brutal blow, which is her answer.Â
Elle looks slightly amused. âYou ever ask anyone out?â She smiles a little, seeing the genius look genuinely dumbfounded for a second as he thinks about it.Â
He never had the confidence to walk up to someone he found attractive and say something interesting enough to warrant a âyesâ if he asked them on a date. âNo,âÂ
She gives him a slight shrug of her shoulders, âThatâs why you can't get a date.â And Spencer seems to nod at that, and his lips tighten for a second as he nods before he looks away from her again. His focus is pulled back to the case when the UnSub calls, and for a little while, he feels better.Â
On the flight home, heâs almost completely forgotten about his spiral as he plays chess with Gideon. When he hands Spencer a small present, a little smile plays on his lips as he says, âBut you donât give birthday presents.â When he finally gets the present open, he feels a little confused as he thanks Gideon for the generous giftâ two VIP box seat Redskin tickets.Â
Heâs excited, nonetheless, to experience something new with Gideon, and Spencer believes him when he says that Spencer will love it.Â
âWe are. Youâre coming with me, right?â Spencer asks with a slight grin.
Gideon smiles, âNo.â he doesnât let Spencerâs confusion build for long as he quickly adds, âSomeone else on the plane is a huge skins fan.âÂ
âWho?âÂ
âOnly person in the world who calls you Spence.âÂ
Speaking of the only person in the world that calls him Spence, the date was going terribly. She had invited Penelope; she thought it was a group thing. He begged Hotch and Gideon for some pointers, anything. They reminded him she was already his friend, but that wasnât very helpful. He knew how to talk to her on a typical day. On a date? Not so much.
Then, she invited Penelope. Now heâs stuck on a date where only one person in the group knows it was supposed to be a date, and he feels nauseous. Heâs trying to keep a conversation going, but every time it picks up for a second, he feels himself fumble the metaphorical ball, and it dies again.Â
Eventually, he excuses himself to get some air. Heâs debating calling Gideon and updating him on how itâs going. His feet pace on the concrete stadium floor. Heâs near the elevators, and he can barely hear himselfâ itâs auditory overload hell. He shuts his eyes tight, stuffing his phone back into his pocket as he covers his ears, leaning against the cool wall beside the elevators.Â
Itâs all muffled, barely helping, but the feeling of the cool wall on his back through his clothes helps relax him slightly. His shoulders relax briefly before he feels two fingers lightly tapping his shoulders, and heâs rigid again.Â
Rigid until his eyes snap open to see that itâs you. You from the bookstore, with that same kind smile, same dazzling smile, it is you. Youâre yelling over the shouting, but he can barely hear you. You laugh. He can only tell by your facial expression as all the sound falls deaf to his ears over the crowd's yelling.Â
Once it calms down, you repeat yourself, âAre you alright?âÂ
He nods, then youâre giving him a skeptical look, and he slowly shakes his head.Â
âIs it the noise?âÂ
A part of him wants to tell you that itâs everything he is experiencing today, but instead, he whispers a soft âYes.âÂ
You twist your lips to the side, looking upset for him. Your empathy is so sweet and pure for him that he feels the knot in his chest unraveling slowly. âLet me buy you a water?â You offer, motioning to a concession stand a few steps away.Â
He doesnât remember saying yes, but youâre grinning as you walk with him to the stand and buy the two of you a bottle. After a sip or two, you say, âIâm not the biggest fan of football games either. My dad loves emâ.â
He nods along silently, feeling so socially overwhelmed that he barely has the energy for more conversation. You seem happy to fill the gap: âI ran into you at that bookstore on 8th, right?âÂ
Spencerâs beaming as he pulls the bottle away from his lips, nodding, speaking for the first time in a while. âYes.âÂ
You let out a happy hum, âSmall world,â And Spencer agrees with you silently.Â
It's the most comfortable heâs felt all week, and he wonders if maybe this failed date of his was a strange blessing in disguise. Heâs about to ask for your name when Penelope approaches the two of you, blinking starstruck at Spencer and you as she introduces herself when the crowd begins to cheer again. Any noise he can hear is drowned out, frowning as you shake Penelopeâs hand and say your nameâ a name he cannot hear. Some more words follow, but it's all small talk until you excuse yourself to return to your father in the stands.Â
Then heâs the one being dragged away from you, convinced once more that heâll never see his pretty stranger ever again.Â
Third Meeting
Itâs the night before Halloween. Ask anyone who knows Spencer; they will tell you he genuinely loves Halloween. Itâs a part of him, always has been. He likes that you can dress up as anyone you want to be without judgment. He loves the build-up, the history, and the scents that fill the air.Â
So, when he manages to get the night off, heâs quick to try and convince someone from the team to head over to a cemetery not too far from headquarters. Even when he explains how it is for a classic horror movie showing on the graveyardâs lands, everyone declines.Â
Now, heâs setting up an oversized quilt on the soft grass, smoothing out the edges of the oversized quilt with his hands before sitting down on it. His hands move to his bag, pulling out a few of his favorite snacks, drinks, and so on as he watches the cemetery slowly fill up with people.Â
Heâs happy. He feels a little strange at the thought, but heâs happyâ even if it is in the middle of a cemetery.Â
A gentle voice cuts through the soft quiet of the graveyard, âI knew I was going to run into you sooner or later,âÂ
He turns his head to look at you, picnic basket and blanket in hand. You smile down at him. He trips over himself as he stands, his cheeks flushing as you laugh at the sight. He rubs his suddenly sweating hands on his button-up as he reluctantly offers you his hand to shake, only to realize that you donât have a hand available.Â
âCan Iââ he says softly, âWould it be alright if Iâ" he swallows hard, his voice cracking lightly. Do you need help with your things?âÂ
You glance down at your hands, smiling slightly as you shake your head politely. âIâm sure I can find a good spot soon. I didnât mean to disturb you.âÂ
âYouâre not, honest. Iâm, uh, Iâm here alone, and it doesnât start for another fifteen minutes.â You silently debate his offer, and then Spencer feels a wave of confidence surge through him, âYou can always sit with me if youâd like. I promise Iâll try to be quiet.âÂ
You seem to think thatâs funny as you nod, âWell, it is a silent film.âÂ
âYou donât have to say yes. I just have a big blanket, and Iâm in a good spot to see the screen andââ
âIâll sit with you,â You cut him off softly, bending down to gently get the picnic basket on the edge of his quilt. Spencer moves out of your way, awkwardly shuffling for a second before he decides this might be a good time to introduce himself.Â
âIâm Spencer.âÂ
You glance up at him as you move to sit on the blanket, smiling as you tell him your name. He licks his lips nervously, nodding as he sits beside you. His nervous eyes dance over your figure as you set your blanket, which he now sees has little cartoon ghosts all over it, to the side of your basket.Â
Youâre frowning slightly as you reach into the basket, pulling out a small cup of jello and a spoon. âIâm sorry. If I had known I was sharing a blanket with someone, I would have brought another cup.âÂ
Spencer finds it funny as he leans over to his satchel and pulls out his own cup of jello and spoon, âNo need,âÂ
You laugh lightly as you raise your jello cup to his. âCheers, then. " Spencer smiles lightly as the two of you tap the edges together for a moment before falling into a comfortable silence while eating jello.Â
Spencerâs spoon digs into the jello, and he asks, âIs this your first time seeing Nosferatu ?â
You let out a soft hum as you pull your spoon out of your mouth and quickly nod, âYes!â You say after swallowing, âWhat about you?âÂ
âThird.âÂ
âDidnât remember it well enough the first two times?âÂ
He lets out a shy laugh at thatâ it feels strange for someone to be unaware of his eidetic memory, and he wonders how long thatâll last. âNot exactly. I guess just like Halloween.âÂ
âA man of good taste,â You quip back softly, taking a smiling bite of jello.Â
Spencer laughs as his eyes watch your lips close around your spoon before he pulls them away to look into your eye, hoping you donât notice as he stutters lightly. âThatâs debatable.âÂ
Youâre looking down at your half-eaten Jello cup. âIâm the judge here. I deem it a fact that you are a man of good taste. Youâre wearing a cardigan. Thatâs how the judicial system works, donât you know?â You look back at him with a smirk, and Spencer canât help the chortle that escapes his throat.Â
âThat is not how the United States judicial system works, but thank you.âÂ
âYeah, you look like someone who would know all the inner workings of the judicial system.âÂ
Spencer can feel his cheeks getting red at how your voice soundsâteasing and a little flirty. Oh my god, were you flirting with him? Heâs sure heâs all smiles and red cheeks as he looks at you, changing the topic. âNone of your friends wanted to come with you tonight?â
âNo, not their scene. Itâs okay, though. Iâm making a new friend right now.âÂ
Spencerâs finishing off his Jello as he steals a glance at you again, stars in his eyes. âYou donât even know me.âÂ
âSure I do. Your name is Spencer. You like jello, nonfiction, Halloween, and dressing like a teacherâs assistant.âÂ
Spencer doesnât want to say youâre wrong, even though he knows youâre just being nice, but he doesnât want to spend another week without seeing you. He wants to be your friendâ heâll be anything you want him to be. âCould Iââ He licks his lips, eyes searching yours nervously.Â
You watch him carefully, tilting your head to the side as you look into his brown eyes. The sun is gone now, but the rising moon is shining down on him. He seems so⌠gentle, like a deer in a quiet forest. A part of you just wants to scoop him up and bring him home with you, as inappropriate as that is.Â
âYou wouldnât have toâ Itâs alright if you say no. I was just thinking I could give you my number sometime, maybe.â He manages with a gentle huff of air.Â
You nod a little, âSometime, maybe.â You repeat with a slight grin forming on your lips. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see the projector starting to play the movie, and a hush falls over the cemeteryâs lawn.Â
Spencerâs voice is a little too loud as he rushes to say, âI mean, now. Would it be alright if Iââ A shush cuts him off, and his back straightens quickly as he shuts his mouth. His eyes meet yours for a second before darting over to the projection.Â
Youâre watching him again, how heâs staring at the screen like his life depends on it. You scoot closer to him, grabbing your folded-up blanket in the process. Once you reach his side, you drape the folded blanket around his shoulders carefully before doing the same to your own.Â
His fingers gingerly grab one of the blanket's edges, casting you an apologetic glance for a second as your pants graze against his. You seem unbothered as you lean toward him. âI would love your number after this, " you whisper, looking up into his doe-like eyes before turning your head to watch the film.Â
Heâs beaming now as he stares at you, and his chest tightens slightly when you lean close to him again. Youâre so close he can smell your perfume, the scent tangling with the sweet smell of crisp fall air. âYou like costume parties?â Your voice is barely audible.Â
He signals that he does silently, his head moving up and down quickly. The sight makes you grin as you mouth a silent, âPerfectâ at him before your attention is fully pulled back to the movie.Â
Spencer feels warm all over for the rest of the night, and three months from now, heâll start to believe three is a lucky number as he picks you up for your third date with him and just how perfect everything feels when he kisses you.Â

Chillaxing on the sofa in his momâs basement, Peter drew out a sigh. His hooded eyes gaped at the TV screen. As he channel surfed, his thumb tapped lazily on the remote. Peter stopped to check each channel in abrupt intervals. Afternoon cable was boring as hell today. It failed to grasp his short lived attention span.
Seinfeld reruns? He saw just about all of âem. Soap Operas? Those were more his momâs thing. Huge pass. Nature documentaries? Could be cool. Guess it depended on which one, though.
Oh. It was the one about the polar bearâs great journey across the arctic! Nifty enough. Except, Peter saw that one three or four times already now. ĐĄĐşŃŃĐ˝ŃĐš (boring). Так ŃĐşŃŃнО (So boring).
âKay, sooooâŚTV was kind of a no-go. Instead, Peter popped on the PS1 and settled for a game of Metal Gear Solid. The gameâs opening intro was a little too slow for his liking, but Peter forced himself to focus. It sucked he was so antsy today, so fidgety and impatient. He needed some kind of distraction. Any distraction. And he needed one fast.
Peter bounced a leg, half invested in the gameâs dialogue. His fingers absentmindedly flicked the controller buttons. Not even five minutes into playing, he found himself frustrated and bored again. This time around, he figured some company might ease his ennui.
He darted across the arm of the couch to a side table. Over a stack of comic books and empty cans of soda, he snatched the receiver to a Garfield phone. Peter dialed a number in less than a second. Too fast, at first. The phone didnât even register his request. Rolling his eyes, he dialed the number again. Slower this time.
Peter kept the vibrant hunk of orange plastic between his cheek and shoulder. Buzzy ringing echoed on the other end of the line, as he waited for the recipient to pick up. The time it took for a voice to finally respond felt like fifty billion years. Your voice. One of Peterâs closest comrades. The pal he shared most, if not all, of his free time with.
There were days when you visited, and you laid back on the sofa with him. With your legs stretched over his lap and a magazine in your hands, you relaxed. Peter would always do his usual, playing whatever game he âboughtâ from the local K-Mart. Every time he cursed himself for making a misstep, you giggled. You knew how frustrating it was for him, if he wasn't a hundred leaps ahead of everything. And just to get back at you - but also to hear you laugh again - heâd reach over and dig his fingers into your belly.
He loved that it took such minimal effort to make you laugh. You always had an easygoing warmth about you. And maybe you were also pretty cute too. Sometimes, the crook of your smile made him blush. Oh, and you didn't mind duking it out in Mario Kart sometimes. That was also kinda cool. What more could a lonesome guy ask for? ĐŃĐžŃŃĐž Đ´ŃŃСŃŃ. ĐиŃогО йОНŃŃĐľ (Just friends. Nothing more). Yeah. He could be content with that. No problem.
Ten minutes into conversation with you, Peter breathed a yawn into the receiver.
âYou know, Iâm surprised you have the patience for talking on the phone.â You joked.
The speakers roared with a soft buzz in his ear. Peter didnât register your words at first. Blinking lazily, he tapped the PS1 controller buttons at rapid speed. In the game, Snake fought off an onslaught of bad guys. Peter faked his offense with a scoff.
âSeriously? Man, whatâs up with that? Itâs like everyone thinks I canât do stuff at normal speed without goinâ berserk.â He said, cursing under his breath as Snake got gunned down again.
A small part of him wished you were there, with your legs over his lap, cracking jokes at his expense. Over the phone, you emitted a gentle laugh.
âBecause you have? Multiple times, dude!â You said.
Surely you could hear Peterâs eyes roll in his skull.
âOh, yeah? Name five.â he pressed.
The fast paced clicking of the buttons echoed like a trill in the basement. He overheard the sound of rustling as you shifted in place. If Peter had to guess, heâd bet his left foot you were still lazing around in bed. It was a Saturday, after all. With the hour tipping on the edge of late afternoon. You always moved at the slowest of speeds on your off days.
âIâm just saying! I totally get it. Even I donât have the patience for chats on the phone sometimes.â You said, and a squeaky yawn followed.
More rustles scuffed from your end, as if you moved to stretch. Keeping his gaze fixed on the flickering, CRT screen; Peter followed flashes of light from each gruntâs gun. His reaction time proved effortless as always. His methods, not so much.
âNah, itâs cool.â Peter mumbled after a beat, âDoesnât bother me much if Iâm talkinâ to you. Youâre not boring, first of all. And on the off chance I do get bored, I can just say - hey, babe, Iâm gonna hang up. And you wonât get-uhhhâŚâ He lingered on his next thought, distracted with gunning down more masked baddies, âYou wonât get, like, butt hurt over it."
âWhy would I?â You laughed, âDid someone seriously get offended by that?â
âMy aunt did once. She got mad pissed âcuz I told her I was âkinda boredâ on the phone. She made me pass it to my mom, so she could rat me out. Said I showed a âlack of consideration'; âer whatever.â Peter paused, brows furrowed. In Metal Gear, Snake perished yet again. Peter rolled his eyes once more, âSheâs kinda mental, though. ŃŃĐž вОСПŃŃиŃоНŃнО (itâs outrageous).â
Your only response was a quiet hum of acknowledgement. Peter broke the silence that followed.
âHey, youâre not busy today, are you? Wanna do somethinâ later?â He asked, knowing full well you had jack shit to do.
âI donât know. Iâm feeling soooooo lazy today.â You playfully teased.
The soft pattern of your breathing sent electric tingles down Peterâs neck. Shuddering, he shook off those unexpected chills. Another beat, and Peter groaned, as Snake perished over a low poly landscape. You gotta take it slow and stealthy, man - Peter reminded himself.
âĐĽĐžŃĐžŃĐž (okay)? So? Come be lazy over here then.â He replied, âTell you what. If you do, Iâll go ân snag some of those Turkish delights you like. The same ones my mom gotcha for your birthday. Remember? From Sokovia?â
Your voice perked up instantly, bringing a cheesy smile to his face. Homely fondness simmered in his chest, and Peter felt himself blush. He pulled his lip between his teeth, pausing his game to focus more on conversation. Leaving Snake stranded in the middle of the snow.
âOh my gosh!! No way?? I havenât had those in forever! Seriously, the ones from Sokovia?â You chimed.
âHell yeah! But you gotta get outta bed first, dingus. Câmonnnn.â Peter whined, âIâm so bored here, babe. Oh! I totally forgot. I finally got my hands on a Gameboy Color too. Swear on my life I paid for it this time. You could come over ân try it ouuuuuut.â He teased in a sing-song voice, wiggling his brows.
âGameboys and Turkish delights? Youâre spoiling me today, Peter! Whatâs the occasion?â You joked over the line.
He shrugged, forgetting you couldnât see him, âBored outta my frigginâ skull. Thatâs what.â After a beat, he awkwardly added, âAnd maybe I like hanginâ with you? Do I even need a reason?â
âWell, I gotta admitâŚyou had me at Turkish delights.â You feigned a dreamy tone.
Peter chuckled again. Under his breath, he muttered softly, â ĐŃĐž вŃĐľ, ŃŃĐž Ńойо Đ˝ŃМнО, Đ´Đ° (Thatâs all you need, huh)?â
âHuh?â You asked, oblivious to his comment, âWhatâd you say? I didnât catch that last part.â
Peter ran a hand through his silver locks, leaving his hair loose and messy. Cradling the phone in his other hand, he knitted his lips to one side.
âNothinâ. Donât worry about it. You want me to come get you? âCuz I can.â He checked his digital watch, decked out in a Star Wars theme, âI can right now, if you-â
âItâs fine. I love going out with you, but I really donât wanna deal with motion sickness today. I just had lunch too. No offense!â Another yawn rang over the phone, hitching into a squeal at the end. Peter didnât realize he was smiling so big until his cheeks started to hurt, âIâll just drive over. Sound good?â
Peter rolled his eyes, sarcastically groaning. He threw his head back into the sofa cushions, playing up his fake frustrations.
âAuuuuuuugh! But thatâll take years.â He dragged a hand down his face, pulling his cheeks under his fingertips, âIs this âcuz you blew chunks last time?? You know that doesnât bother me, right? Everyone does it, babe.â
You made a noise of disgust. Something like an eugh , âPlease, donât remind me. That sucked so much. Yeah, no, Iâd rather not. I really need a break from it.â You sighed again. Kind of a bummer, but he could deal.
âItâs whatever you want, I guess. So, when are you gonna head out?â Peter asked, sitting up on the sofa and putting the controller aside.
He bounced a leg at rapid speed, his knee moving in a flesh tone blur of motion. Less from agitation, more due to anticipation.
âIâll leave soon. Just give me a few minutes. Think you can wait?â You chuckled in that sweet, quirky way again. The melody gave Peter butterflies. Ignoring the fluttering in his belly, he pushed himself off the couch. Grabbing the base of the Garfield phone, Peter cradled the lil guy in an arm. He figured he may as well get dressed, and freshen up before you arrived, âItâs so cold today. I havenât even gotten out of bed yet! Iâm still bundled up in my undies. Got your jacket on too. You left a Game n Watch in the pocket, by the way. I didnât even know they still made those!â
âYeah. I totally called that one. Get up already, ya slacker.â Peter joked trapping the phone between his cheek and shoulder again. He scratched his bare chest. His fingertips grazed the sparse covering of white hairs there. Yawning, he nodded, âOkay. Okay. Okay. Sure, just-â
Something about your last statement finally clicked in Peterâs brain. He rapidly blinked, shaking his head fast enough to give himself whiplash. Peter did a quadruple take.
âĐОдОМди (wait)! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, waiiiiiit âŚhold on a sec.â He narrowed his eyes, âSay that again?â
âSay what again? The part about the Game n Watch?â You asked, and Peterâs brows furrowed.
âN-Nah. TheâŚdid you justâŚhave you been lyinâ around in your underwear this whole time?â
âUh, yeah? Why? Is this revolutionary information?â You chuckled.
âIn my jacket? Like, I didnât hear that wrong? Whatâd you likeâŚsleep in it âer somethinâ?â Peter arched a silver brow, pressing the phone handset closer to his cheek. As if doing so might somehow help him hear you more clearly.
It really wasnât that big of a deal either way. You borrowed his jackets all the time. Peter never thought anything of it before this conversation. Aside from the fact that - when you did return them, he loved the sweet scent you left behind. The smell of your perfume, with the added bonus of your natural pheromonesâŚ
ĐйаŃŃ (Fuck)! Why was he even thinking about this? The two of you had such a casual thing goinâ on. But now, Peter thought of you in a different light. Something friskier. Not that he meant to. Maybe killer boredom + cute friend = horny speedster. Or perhaps the planets aligned in some totally off-the-wall way.
Whatever the case, Peterâs mind raced on autopilot. He pictured the way you might look right now. In your room, spread across your bed in nothing but your underwear and - Đйона ПаŃŃ (Holy shit) - his jacket. With your long legs bare, your knees bumping together as you squeezed your thighs shut. Tummy exposed. And your tits-
Woooooooah there! Slow down, casanova! Peter shouldnât beâŚnah, he really shouldnât be wondering what your breasts looked like. Ppfffbbbbt âŚâkay, so, maybe in the past he thought about it once or twice. But what dude wouldn't contemplate the hidden mystery of a pal's titties sometimes, ah?
âWell, so what if I did? That doesnât weird you out, does it?â You asked, a careful waver in your voice.
âUhhhhâŚnahhh, babe. JustâŚâ Peter shifted in place, rerouting his thoughts, âJustâŚgot one hell of an image in my head. Mightâve pictured you like that for no particular reason at all.â
Lucky for him, you didnât seem to think anything of his confession.
âNot much to imagineâŚâ You replied. ХОПниŃоНŃнО (Doubtful).
âI meanâŚpffbbbtttâŚsure, yeah. Maybe not.â Peter awkwardly laughed, scratching the back of his neck. His voice dropped, a little more hushed, âUnlessâŚyouâre wearinâ some really cute panties over there.â Again, he laughed, rushing out a quick, âIâm kiddinâ. Iâm kiddinâ. Iâm kiddinâ. Iâm totally messinâ. Just bustinâ your balls, babe.â
ExceptâŚhe sorta wasnât. Peter found himself oh-so curious. Twisting the phone's orange wire around his finger, he anticipated your reaction. Anxious you might think him weird for pushing things too far. Never had the two of you charted this kind of territory. It was a minefield, with a 95% chance neither one would make it out unscathed.
âI guess? I think theyâre kind of cute.â You added, innocent as ever. Awesome. You werenât peeved at him, at least. Peter brought the phone to his chest, exhaling an anxious breath to calm his racing heart. When he put the phone to his ear again, he figured youâd moved on. But your cadence shifted. To test the boundaries of your friendship, you teased, âTheyâre pretty small on me, though.â
Ah. Ah. ĐĐ˝ŃĐľŃĐľŃнО. ĐŃĐľĐ˝Ń Đ¸Đ˝ŃĐľŃĐľŃнО (Interesting. Very interesting). What an unexpected but totally wicked development. Peter lowered himself slowly onto the couch, setting the phone's base on the side table. He eased backwards into the cushions, and tightened his twisting of the phone wire. Swallowing hard, Peter found he had difficulty focusing. Especially with his imagination running so goddamn wild.
âYeah? âŚHow small is pretty small?â He dared to ask.
Long seconds of silence ticked by at the pace of a narcoleptic sloth. If Peter werenât so eager to hear what you had to say, he may have torn his hair out. Over the line, you laughed.
âSmall enough they barely cover my ass? Why are you so curious all of a sudden?â You cooed.
Peter fluttered his inky eyes, nibbling chapped skin on his lip. Fuzzy pink swarmed the rest of his face, as his mind conjured images of you so effortlessly. Clear as day. Heat stirred to life in his groin, and Peter pictured the way your plush cheeks might hold in tight painties. His breath hitched.
âI-uhâŚâ Peter felt the heat in his cheeks creep down his neck, flustered at lightspeed, âJust thinkinâ...maybe you should do somethinâ about that?â He gritted his teeth, pinching the bridge of his nose. What a lame response, âЧоŃŃ Đ˛ĐžĐˇŃПи (damn it)!â He huffed under his breath, too quiet for you to hear.
Toying with this newly discovered sexual tension, Peter humorously asked-
âSoooooooâŚwhat color?â
You giggled into the receiver, airy and light. His body registered the noise somewhere , down south of his belly. He wondered if you were as flustered as him. And the visual of your bashful face and shy smile had his heartbeat ramping up to mach 10.
âWhat? A-Are you for real asking meâŚoh my god, dude!â Your giggles turned into goofy snorts. Which he found so endearing. Once you composed yourself, you spoke again. Though, your tone came off as more flirtatious, âIf you really wanna know so badâŚthen fine. Theyâre black. Lacy. With a little bow on the front.â
ĐĐľŃŃПО (Shit)...
His silver brows soared high, disappearing under his bangs. Paying little attention to his instinctive actions, Peter guided his free hand between his thighs. Inwardly, he told himself he was only adjusting his uncomfortable hard-on. âCuz itâd be totally weird if he did anything elseâŚright? Best to ignore the movement of his thumb, as it absentmindedly circled his bulge.
âHuhâŚthatâs soâŚâ Peter blinked, clearing his throat and masking his nerves with a chuckle, ââKay, Iâll be up front with you, babe. That sounds cute as hell. Very nice.â
âReally? Oh, please, Peter. Theyâd be cute on anybody.â You scoffed.
âUh huhâŚâ He smirked, dropping his tone even lower, ââCept, now that Iâm really thinkinâ about it? Iâm bettinâ they look criminally cute on you.â Peter lazily smirked.
You laughed, breathless like you ran a thousand miles, âWh-...what are we even doing right now? Seriously, why am I talking to you about my-â The uneasiness in your voice bled through the line.
Your concern was for good reason. Nevertheless, Peter interrupted you mid-sentence.
âEasy there, chuckles. Weâre just chatting. Nothinâ too unusual, right? Weâve had some seriously raunchy conversations before. Remember? That time I got laid on a golf course? You told me about that time some dude shot a load in your eye. Whatâs the difference, anyway?â Peter grimaced, as he recalled your story from eons ago.
You giggled yet again, âPeter, you know damn well what the difference is!â You clarified with a sigh, still playful. The phone wire went slack around his finger, as Peter second guessed himself. He parted his lips, on the cusp of apologizing. Bringing one hand up to the phone, he held it loosely. Your sugary voice chimed again, âIâm kinda wondering, thoughâŚwhat would you think if I told you Iâm topless right now?â
His grip compressed around the handset.
âTopless, huh?â Peter cast a quick glance at his hard-on, twitching painfully under his boxers. His mind jumped straight to sinful places again. Peter thought about what your tits probably look like, embraced in his jacket. Nipples hard, grazing the inner-lining. He swallowed, âWhatâre you tryna tell me? You gonna drive over here in nothinâ but that?â Peter quipped.
A more sultry laugh melted through the receiver. Peter trembled, as your smooth voice coaxed him like a tempting song. His free palm squeezed his bulge, putting pressure to his length over fabric. Peterâs brows turned inward, and he fluttered his eyes shut.
âI guess that wouldnât be so bad, if it wasnât so cold outside. Itâs freezing today. I donât know how you can run as fast as you do when the weatherâs like this.â Your tone disguised itself with lighthearted innocence again, âItâs not any warmer in my room either. My nipples could cut glass. Theyâre, like, soooo hard.â
Peter adjusted himself on the sofa, giving the swell of his bulge another teasing squeeze.
â Đ˘Ń ĐźĐ°ĐťĐľĐ˝ŃĐşĐ°Ń ŃОйНаСниŃоНŃниŃĐ° (you little temptress)...â  His hot breath fanned the phone.
âI love it when you talk like thatâŚâ You replied, âEven if I have no idea what youâre saying. It sounds really hot, to be totally honest.â
âOh, yeah?â Peter teased his lip with his teeth, speaking in a more flirtatious voice; buttery smooth, â ĐŻ СайŃĐť вŃноŃŃи ĐźŃŃĐžŃ (I forgot to take out the trash)...â For added effect - just to embarrass you more - he tacked on a husky moan.
Peter made himself blush, as the sound came out far more pornagraphic than he intended. The rasp of his voice scraped through the line in a hushed, â Oh, yeah, baby. â
The erotic tension you felt from his teasing was palpable, even over the phone. Peter could sense the shift in the way you gasped. So faint, so shy, so cute.
âOhâŚoh, wow...uhmâŚâ You tried concealing your bashfulness with more of those candy coated giggles. But Peter could practically hear the blood racing to your cheeks, âWhatâs that mean? Something good, I hope.â
Peter bit his tongue, lips turning in a cheeky grin.
âIt means youâre really turninâ me onâŚâ
Another hesitant pause fell between the two of you, before you scoffed.
âOh my god, no it doesnât! I can hear you laughing!â You griped, snickering along with Peter. A few more tension heavy beats pulsed over the line. You spoke again, âHeyâŚIâm sorry. Can I put things on pause for a sec? I just wanted to askâŚare you okay with this?â
âAre you?â Peter gently asked, giving you ample time to think about it.
âI donât knowâŚmaybeâŚâ You whispered, âIsnât this, like, super weird for you?â
âI meanâŚsuuuuuuure. Itâs totally weird. If you kept goin', I wouldn't be into it...at all...â He bullied you with a playful edge, hoping you could read the flirtatious undertone in his voice.
âOhhhhhâŚyou wouldn't be?â Judging by the saucy lilt in your voice, you most definitely caught on, âYou know what would be even weirder?â
Peter adjusted on the sofa again. Getting comfortable, he laid on his back. His taut legs stretched across the cushions, and Peter propped his head on the couchâs arm.
âWhazzat? Enlighten me, babe. Iâm listeninâ. You got my full attention.â He teased.
âYour full attention, huh? I must be doing something right.â You snickered, âSoâŚyou know how I said I love it when you talkâŚlike that?â Your voice wavered, âWhat I really meant was-uhmâŚwhen you do that on the phoneâŚit makes me kind of horny.â
His brown hues burst open, wider than ever. Peterâs pupils dilated, expanding as far as the universe itself. He swallowed again, his mouth falling open. Your filthy confession set his arousal ablaze, making his dick twitch. As heated desire took over, Peter couldnât restrain himself. He snuck his fingers under the waistband of his boxers, fingertips gliding over silver hairs. A small piece of him almost felt guilty for doing so.
âIt does, huh? ĐĽĐžŃĐžŃĐž СнаŃŃ (Good to know).â Peter whispered, tenderly grasping his shaft.
You made a naughty squeak of a noise in response, âY-Yeah, Peter, Iâm serious. You really have to stop doing that.â
âĐĐžŃĐľĐźŃ (Why)? Are you soakinâ yourself over it? Gettinâ a lil wet? Itâs cool. You can tell meâŚâ Peter heckled, expelling a breath as he gave his dick a single tug.
âOh, I bet you wanna know all about that, huh? Youâre so bad, Quickie...â You teased, clicking your tongue.
Peterâs ears burned, turning pink as he took in the coquettish nature of your voice. Scoffing, he feigned his indignance.
âWhat?! Hey, nah nah nah! You started this! ĐŃĐž ноŃĐżŃаводНивО, ŃĐľŃŃ Đ˛ĐžĐˇŃПи (itâs not fair. Dammit)!â Peter laughed, carefree with you as always, âYou canât seriously drop a bombshell like that and expect me not to-â
âNot to come running?â You hummed, sweet tempered, âIâm just messing with you, baby. But since weâre on the topicâŚI made such a mess of these little panties. Just from listening to your voice.â
Peter couldnât even pretend he didnât like the sound of âbabyâ on your tongue.
âOh, manâŚanything but the pantiesâŚâ He joked, âYou should-uhâŚyou should save yourself some trouble. YâknowâŚtake âem off, maybe? Might be more comfortable.â Peter hinted, playing nonchalant, âJust tryna be a good friend. Give you some advice. You should for sure take it.â
âBut Iâm already so coldâŚâ You whimpered, âYour jacketâs so warm. Smells good too. Really good. But itâs not enough to keep me covered.â You spoke with flirtatious innocence, and Peter played along.
âNo harm done, ĐżŃинŃĐľŃŃĐ° (princess). Iâll warm you up if you need me to.â He reassured, sweet talking you over the phone, âĐ˘Ń Đ´ŃПаоŃŃ, ŃŃĐž Ń Đ˝Đľ пОСайОŃŃŃŃ Đž Ńойо? (Do you think I won't take care of you)?" Peter mumbled again. He listened to your sickly sweet laughs, before asking, âSoâŚdo you get like this every time we talk on the phone?â
âMmmmâŚmaybe.â You hummed, âWhat if I said yes?â You shuffled around again, and Peterâs mind jumped elsewhere. He imagined you shed yourself of damp, black lace. Leaving you wanton and needy in nothing but his jacket, âYou knowâŚweâve been talking about me a lot this whole time. You wanna tell me what youâre wearing? I donât really have a visual.â
âOhâŚme?â Your request caught Peter off guard.
âYeah, you. Who else, blockhead?â You playfully quipped, smoothing your voice to say, âYou donât have to be shy. I just wanna know, so I can think about taking it off of you.â
Peter didnât know he could blush this much. Puffing a bashful laugh, he looked down at his body. Mostly nude and toned enough. He had his x-gene to thank for his pecs and hard abs. A fluffy bouquet of silver hairs peeked out from his boxers. Underneath, his dick throbbed, pressing eagerly into fabric.
âUhmâŚIâm not wearinâ a lot? Nothinâ special. Just some black, boxer briefs, I guess. Wait, no-â Peter lifted a foot, his lips curling in a goofy smile, âGot my Star Wars socks on too.â
A sensual moan graced his ears, âThatâs so hot.â You softly whined, âStar Wars socks? Peter, just take me now.â
Despite the fact you were totally messing with him, that playful comment made his chest tight.Â
âNothing else though?â You pressed.
âNnnnnnnnnnope.â He drew out the word, popping the P, âJust the-uhâŚyeah. Boxers ân sexy socks. Not much to take off.â
âAnd youâre pretty fit, arenât you? You always looked really jacked to me, so-â You said.
Peter cocked a brow, snickering to cover his embarrassment.
âWooooahhhâŚyou been checkinâ me out, babe?â He asked, darting his dark hues across his athletic bod. Peter flexed an arm, âSure, I guess Iâm in decent shape.â He found he couldnât dismiss your compliments. Peter looked good, and he knew it. But he preferred hearing it from you, âHey, you wanna know somethinâ, like, way crazy?â
âThis? What weâre doing right now is so crazy, right?â You laughed, sounding as bashful as him.
Peter snickered, âTrue. Truuuue. But, uhâŚâ He shrank in his spot on the couch, pressing the vibrant handset closer into his cheek. Pre-cum seeped through his boxers, as Peter tugged his dick steady and slow. Careful not to stimulate himself too much yet. He dropped his voice to a hushed rasp, âIâm kinda in the same spot you are right now. If you-uhâŚif you catch my drift.â
The two of you knew each other for a long time. Several years, in fact. But never once did Peter think heâd hear his closest pal say-
âOhhhh. Are you hard right now, baby?â
Oh. Yeah, this buddy-buddy friendship was in major trouble. Doomed to crash and burn. As soon as the words fell from your lips, spoken in your honeyed voice; Peterâs breath hitched in his throat. He sank his teeth so hard into his lip, he almost broke skin.
âY-Yeah. Since you-uhâŚstarted talkinâ about your panties. Iâm sorry, babe. Just been kinda bored and worked up all day.â He sheepishly chuckled.
âYou poor babyâŚâ You coddled him over the phone. And while he shouldâve been embarrassed, Peter had no problem with you talking like that, âCan I ask how big you are?â
Peter stalled for a moment, before pulling the front of his boxers down. His hardness flopped against his belly, pulsating and ruddy from his teasing. Taking his aching length in his hand, he rubbed the underside with his thumb.
âYou mean my dick? Itâs-uhhhhâŚlike six, maybe seven inches almost?â He squeezed his cock, milking beads of pre-cum, âBut size doesnât matter, yeah? Itâs the motion of the ocean, babe.â
âNoooooo, baby. Youâre so perfect. Wish I could see how good you look like thatâŚâ You cooed over the phone.
Your kindly words and airy tone made the veins in his dick throb with electric heat. Peter clutched his cock tight, pumping the velvet skin a touch faster. Giving himself just a simple taste of relief. His stomach clenched, hardening his abs.
âĐĐľ ŃĐ°Đş идоаНŃнО, как ŃŃ Đ˛ŃгНŃдиŃŃ (Not as perfect as you look)...â Peter muttered, drawing in a shallow breath, âBabe, I gotta tell ya, Iâm really feelinâ this. Iâm so into you right now. W-Want you to keep talkinâ like-uh...â
His imagination took his depravity to the next level. Now, Peter thought about joining you in your room. He wondered how soft and smooth your skin would feel. Supple and hot under his fingertips. What might you look like writhing under him, whimpering as he played with you? As he teased you? Man, you were both so screwed.
âNever thought dirty talking with me would turn you on so muchâŚâ You giggled.
Peter secured the handset between his cheek and shoulder. With both hands free, he raised his palm to his lips. He drew a long stripe with his tongue, bringing his damp hand to his cock. The slick lubrication pulled a gentle moan from his throat.
âM-Maybe a little bit. ĐйаŃŃ (Fuck), maybe a lot.â Peter groaned, labored in his breathing, âCan you - ĐйаŃŃ (fuck) - you wanna do somethinâ for me? Just a little favor between friends? Sâall Iâm askinâ, baby.â
âAnything you want, Peter.â You mewled.
âCan you- mmmmohgod -â Peter choked up. He almost chickened out, but pushed himself to ask, âCan you touch yourself for me? Please? ĐОМаНŃĐšŃŃĐ°, ĐźĐžŃ ĐźĐ°ĐťĐľĐ˝ŃĐşĐ°Ń ĐżŃинŃĐľŃŃĐ° (Please, my little princess)...â His foreign whispers weaved pretty whimpers from your lips.
âYeah. Yeah, I can do that, if you want me to. But you have to do the same for me too. Itâs only fair, right? Equal exchange?â You whispered, acting playful again.
Peter breathed a guilty chuckle, âUhmâŚyeahhhhhâŚabout thatâŚâ
You softly gasped, âHave you been-â
âPlayinâ with my dick this whole time? Maybe.â Peter admitted. His thumb caught another pearl of pre, spreading the slickness over his sensitive head, âBut Iâm not, like, totally jerkinâ it yetâŚâ He lied, pressing you to encourage him.
âOh, youâre not, huh? What are you doing then?â You asked, âAre you being a bad boy, Pietro?â The abrupt drop of his given name shocked him into silence.
Peter felt his groin tighten, and an exhilarating rush electrified his nerves. For the thousandth time, you giggled. And for the thousandth time, Peterâs heart leapt. Dumbfounded, he gathered his composure and played along again.
âY-Yeah. So bad. You gotta help me, babe. Iâm just-...Iâm so hard. Donât think I can stop myself if you keep talkinâ like that.â
Through the receiver, Peterâs ears caught wind of a needy mewl. He gripped his cock hard, guiding his fist in firmer strokes. His legs quivered, and the heels of his Star Wars socks slid across the couch.
âDoes it feel good when you touch your pretty cock like that, sweetheart?â You cooed.
Peter almost went straight into cardiac arrest. He jolted in place, feeling his cock stiffen in his grasp.
âХвŃŃОК ŃŃĐ°Ń
(Holy fuck)..." Peter suffocated on his own groans. For an instant, his words failed him, âUhmmmâŚhahâŚwow-uhâŚĐйаŃŃ (fuck). Feels good, yeah. Donât think itâs enough. I need-...uhmâŚI want-uhâŚâ
âYeah? What do you want, baby. Itâs okay.â You spoke so sugary sweet again.
âI-...ĐŻ ĐżŃĐžŃŃĐž Ń
ĐžŃŃ ŃвидоŃŃ ŃĐľĐąŃ (I just want to see you)...â Peterâs veins tingled under his touch, as he tugged his dick with more urgency, âShit! I-...how come I never knew you could be like this-â And to Peterâs ultimate humiliation, he whimpered your name. Along with another whiny, â ĐйаŃŃ (Fuck). â
âLike what?â Your coy voice teased him over the line.
âI dunnoâŚso-uhâŚso damn nasty.â He joked, and even through the phone; he knew he had you flustered again.
âI guess we all have our secrets, hmm? Tell me more, Pietro. When you touch yourself like that. With those big, strong handsâŚhowâs it feel?â You asked, driving him to keep going.
Peter snorted a laugh, âStrong hands? What??â His endearing playfulness took a backseat, as he grunted into the receiver, âGodâŚfeels like my strong handâs not enough. Đно ŃоаНŃнО Ńойо Đ˝ŃМнО ĐżŃŃПО ŃоКŃĐ°Ń. ĐŃМна ŃĐ°Đş ŃиНŃнО (I really need you right now. I need you so much).â His voice fell to a whisper. Pumping his slick, crimson cock through his fist, he breathlessly pleaded, âTalk to me, baby. Please. Tell me-ohhhâŚtell me what youâre doinâ over there.â
You squealed a sultry giggle, further igniting Peterâs pleasured frenzy. He squirmed in his spot on the sofa, forcing himself to stay put. Battling the forces of the universe, it was all Peter could do not to race to your room. Just to spread your legs and hump you like a speedy bunny.
âMmmmâŚIâm just doing what you asked me toâŚIâm being so good for you right now.â You whimpered.
âOh. OkayâŚuhmâŚfar out. UhâŚwanna gimme the steamy details?â He heckled again, fumbling his words in his nervousness, âPlease, donât hold off on me, baby.â
âIâmâŚâ Your precious voice wavered, teeming with awkwardness as your confidence dwindled, âIâm playing with my little pussy. Just for you. And Iâm so wet. I canât stop thinking about your handsâŚso bigâŚâ
âĐОМо ПОК (my god).â Peter muttered. Combating impatience brought upon by his genes, he willed himself to take things slow. His strokes became steady and teasing, as he edged his aching cock, âHoly shit, babe. Yeah? Keep goinâ...â
You moaned soft squeals into the receiver, âI want you so bad, Quickie. Please, baby, donât make me beg. Can you touch this little pussy for me? Please? Your fingers are so big. I donât think theyâd fit all at once. Itâs been a while, and Iâm so tight.â Your naughty voice pleaded.
âGod, I wanna touch you so bad. ĐŻ Ń
ĐžŃŃ ĐżŃикОŃĐ˝ŃŃŃŃŃ Đş ŃŃОК ŃНадкОК киŃко (I want to touch that sweet pussy).â Peterâs impatience got the better of him, and he quickly gave in. He grasped his cock hard, wringing himself fast enough to make his balls bounce. Creasing his brows, he groaned, âOhhh..Whatâre you tryna to do to me, babe? Talkinâ about how tight you areâŚĐйаŃŃâŚâ
âBut I ammmm.â You whined again, âIâm squeezing my tiny fingers so tight. Itâs so soft and hot for you. Bet itâd feel really good if you stretched me. With your fingers, with your cock - fuck, Pietro. I just need you, baby.â
âPlease, baby, oh, please? Wanna be inside you. Wanna feel you. I promise I wonât go too fast. ĐŻ ОйоŃĐ°Ń (I promise).â Peter whimpered. But as you mewled again, another forceful wave of carnal heat crashed over Peter. In a quieter tone, he choked, âĐĐľŃ, Ń ĐźĐžĐłŃ. ĐŻ ĐżĐžĐšĐ´Ń ŃĐ°Đş ĐąŃŃŃŃĐž (No, I can. Iâll go so fast).â
âPietro, you can go as fast as you want, baby. I wonât stop you.â You pleaded, your broken voice so kittenish and wanton, âF-Fuck. Iâm rubbing my clit. So sensitive. Thinking about you. Thinking about your mouth on me.â
âĐйаŃŃ!!â Peter moaned through clenched teeth. His self control rapidly abandoned him. Speedily rutting his sore cock through the squeeze of his fist, his body refused to slow down, âĐОвОŃŃ Đž ŃкОŃĐžŃŃи (Speaking of speed)...â Peter craned his neck back, raising a hand to keep the handset to his ear, âYou gotta stop makinâ all those cute noises, baby. PleaseâŚI canât-â
As surges of horny pleasure circulated through his body, Peter thought of you again. He imagined you on your bed, caged under him between his arms. In his daydreams, he kissed you intimately, touching your pretty, naked body. Peter wanted to feel how wet you were for himself. And hell, the danger of pushing your friendship past its limits made you more tempting. Such a lewd, risky thought pushed him closer to the edge of something righteous.
âBaby, I wanna see you. Can I? Can I see you stroke that thick cock? Would you let me? Ohh, fuck, Pietro.â You whimpered. And your noises were so shamelessly lecherous, you couldâve made a pornstar blush, âCan I kiss it, please? Can I kiss your big cock?â You whimpered.
âРйОМо ПОК, пОМаНŃĐšŃŃĐ° (Oh my god, please)!â Peter choked, every word hitching in his throat, âBabyâŚbabe, you canât do this. Ya really canât be-â He laughed lazily, his dark eyes falling half lidded. His cock throbbed, bright red and turning purple at the tip. He rutted in a speedy blur, âStop. Stop. Stop. Iâm gonnaâŚbabe, Iâm gonna bust-â He slurred.
You squealed his name as loudly as your hushed voice would allow. And Peter swore he could hear the slick sound of your fingers. As they played with your pretty, little cunt.
âIâm gonna cum, baby. Please cum with me. Please? Pietro, OH~!â
âŃ ĐşĐžĐ˝ŃĐ°Ń, Ń ĐşĐžĐ˝ŃĐ°Ń (Iâm cumming, Iâm cumming)! âM Gonna-â Peterâs moans seeped through the receiver, his wet lips parting and mouth hanging open.
His swollen cock erupted in white-hot jets, coating his pecs and belly. With all his muscles tensed, Peterâs legs trembled. He rode out those lusty waves in tandem with you. The pleasure of orgasm sounded leagues more intense on your side. You took longer to cruise through it, whimpering and moaning Peterâs name. As you did, Peter basked in his momentary afterglow. Keeping the phone pressed to his ear, his head resting on the arm of the sofa; he listened to you with a smirk on his lips. At the end of your journey in ecstasy, your moans turned into flustered giggles.
Peter's thoughts reeled him in again. Imagining you, looking so sheepish and fine in his jacket. Now, he desperately wanted the real deal. To see you in all your post-nut glory. Mere seconds later, his sore cock pulsed to life again. As his hardness squirmed on his belly, Peter breathed another sigh.
On his end, you heard nothing but silence. You kept calling his name, your tired voice infused with anxiety.
âUhmâŚPeter? HeyâŚare you there?â You asked.
And he didn't say a single word more.

"Ah-! Fuck!"
You cried suddenly when he switched from kneading away at your breast to pinching your nipple, rolling the sensitive bud between his thumb and index finger. Your walls clenched tightly around his stiff cock at this, extracting a raspy whine from him. Alastor was making it damn near impossible to keep your eyes open, to focus on him. Every single thing he did, from the perpetual thrusting of his hips right down to the sounds that poured from his mouth had you close to creaming on his cock.
"Hm? You like that?" Alastor asked you, tone mocking as he parroted back your question regarding his ears. A jovial laugh echoed in yours when he saw your pout, your lip jutting forward as he leaned down closer to your chest, his thrusts diligent and relentless in their speed. It was amazing that the desk was still standing in spite of the rough pounding he was giving you. With one hand switching between massaging the spongy flesh of your breast to pinching and twisting its tip, Alastor's mouth attended to the other - teeth grazing the pebbled tissue, his lips wrapping around your erect nipple. Suckling gently, he began to flick his tongue over it a few times shortly before pulling away to place tender kisses to your heated, flushed skin. "Oh, my dear - you're so soft," he whispered, speaking more to himself than you, biting near your sternum hard enough to draw blood - sucking at the few droplets that trickled from the tiny wound seconds later.
Lapping at the small gashes in a soothing manner, he moaned into your skin as beads of the delectable red liquid coated his tongue. "So sweet," he mumbled against the malleable flesh. Alastor just knew your breasts would look positively radiant with bite marks, varying degrees of bruises and hickeys littering your skin - every single magnificent blemish a result of his ministrations. Knowing that he was the one to put them there had him twitching inside you, eager to make the images in his mind a reality.
"And all for me."
Alastor withdrew from your delectably beautiful breast, his lips popping loudly as the suction ceased. He took a moment to admire his work - the skin already beginning to darken where he had been suckling; his saliva that coated the hickey making it shine in the dim light; the red imprint of his hand and crescent shaped indentations of his nails where he unwittingly squeezed a little too hard; the way the surrounding area of your lacerated flesh where he bit you began to redden and swell. A sense of triumph and pride came over him, as he had been right - they did look absolutely radiant like this. It had him wondering what the rest of you would look like with similar markings; bite marks on the insides of your thighs and neck, scratches down your back made by his clawed hands, bruises littered across your chest and abdomen - his thrusts lost their rhythm at the thought of it all.
Soon after, Alastor was drawn from his imagination when he felt your hands in his hair again - only this time, your slender fingers were wrapped around the base of his antlers. How you were able to surprise him so easily, so often with such miniscule actions, he'd never know. "A-Ala- ...! Fuck, fuck, please- ...!" you choked out in between your gasping for air and loud sobs of ecstasy, your eyes fluttering as you fought against your own instincts, to keep them focused on his face. "Don't stop, don't stop, oh my god- ...! Oh fffuuu-!" you begged him, tears welling up in your eyes as you teetered right on the cusp of euphoria. A guttural moan from deep within his chest filled the air at the vice grip you had on both his antlers and his cock, nearly swallowed by the melodious sounds you were making and the steady slaps of skin on skin each time he slammed into you. His eyes shifted to radio dials as he watched the expressions you were making with exultation, basking in the marvelous rhapsodies you were singing for him.
Pressing his lips back against your breast, Alastor started to suck and bite in previously unmarked areas - determined to cover every inch of your silky skin. "Cum for me," he beckoned, control slipping from his fingers once again as he began to lose himself in the rapturous pleasure your body was providing. That was all you needed to hear - the sinful drag of his length within your dripping cunt finally pushing you over the edge, every muscle in your body contracting as the first waves of delicious gratification washed over you, swallowing you whole and claiming your senses. Alastor relished in the way your brows furrowed and your jaw dropped, a silent scream clinging to the back of your throat as you gave yourself over to the electrifying cascades. "Such a beautiful sight," he drawled, voice thick with lust and passion, the near deafening crackles and pops of static filling your ears - it was impossible that a more heavenly sight could exist, he thought.
If he could focus on anything else except the way you were squeezing him so tight, Alastor would be thinking of ways to save this moment, this beauty that you were oh-so-gracious enough to share with him. "... - sstor! A-Al-! Hoh- ohhh-! Mmmah-! Alasss- ...!" you couldn't form any coherent words, having been reduced to a blubbering mess as your walls clamed down on his erect member, the way they so greedily continued to suck him back in with each retraction of his hips, the near painful hold you had on him only serving to heighten the pleasure that accompanied it ten-fold.
"If you keep- ... Nnghh-! -keep squeezing me like that, darling-! Fuuhh-!" he tried to warn you, the futility of his words falling on deaf ears - he was too far gone, his words no longer mattered. Alastor had been so focused on coaxing another climax out of you that he failed to notice how close he was to his own, not until the suffocating grip you had on his cock was hurtling him down into the euphoric pits of bliss - forcing him to empty himself inside you for the second time. "Wait, wait- ...! Oh fuck, I'm-!" he cursed, unable to finish his sentence in time as his balls tightened and his mouth hung open, his breath hitching in his throat. He clenched his eyes shut and bowed his head, the sensations overwhelming him - your core dragging him down further and further with every pulse, every contraction of your muscles as he painted your walls white with his seed.
As you slowly came down from your high, seeing his reaction had you pouncing on the opportunity to give Alastor a little taste of his own medicine. You tightened your hold on his enlarged antlers, knuckles white as you pulled his head back and forced him to look up at you, a devious smirk dancing across your lips. "Eyes on me, dearest," you teased him, your tongue lingering on the last word as his body shook and shivered each time you pumped the velvety bones protruding from his skull - your hold pushing him straight into overstimulation with each stroke, every twist of your hands, your nimble fingers massaging gently over any branches you could reach.
Alastor stared up at you with hooded eyes, lips parted as he panted hard - his carefully curated mask of control and ambiguity faltering for a split second as he collapsed on top of you, his strength leaving his body. The small glimpse this gave you into his inner word had your smile softening into one of complete adoration, watching him rest his cheek on your breast, his smile exhausted and tranquil as he tried to level out his breathing.
Retracting your hands from the now shrinking bone, you laced your fingers into his disheveled crimson tresses, smoothing out the ruffled strands. "Good boy," you praised, letting the tips of your fingers stroke the backs of his hypersensitive ears, earning you a relaxed sigh as he nuzzled into your bosom. The two of you stayed like this for a few minutes - simply basking in the afterglow of your passionate acts and enjoying the silence that followed. It felt so surreal to you, being here with Alastor in such an intimate manner, unable to recall the last time you felt so peaceful, so safe in the arms of another person. If you could, you would have stopped time, if only to stay like this - in this moment for just a little while longer. You didn't want this feeling to disappear, absolutely terrified of what would come once it did.
'No, not now. I refuse to think about that - about him...'
Alastor broke his gaze first, closing his eyes and turning his head to place chaste kisses to your chest - and just like that, the mask had returned to its rightful place, barring you from the most vulnerable sanctuary of his inner world as the roiling waves of his release finally subsided, allowing him to take hold of the reins once more. A sigh of repose made its way past his lips as Alastor moved to stand up straight now, his hands wrapping around the back of your thighs. "My, my. Brazen little thing, aren't you?" his question rhetorical, his eyes drifting down your sweat covered figure as he pushed your legs further apart. He stared down at the place where your bodies were joined, pride swelling within his being while he admired the way he stretched you open.
Your walls clung to his shaft mercilessly, refusing to release their tight grip as he slowly retracted his hips until he'd pulled out of you entirely - sticky strings of his seen momentarily keeping you connected. "Fuck," Alastor groaned as he watched the viscous white fluid seep from your quivering hole and roll down your ass, a few beads dripping onto the carpeted floor beneath him, admiring the way your pussy clenched around nothing. With his left hand, he swiped at any drops he could catch and pushed it back inside with his index and middle fingers, pumping his digits slowly, eliciting a strangled whine out of you and causing your thigh to strain against his other hand. A haughty laugh erupted from his chest at your weak attempts to close your legs, removing his fingers from your core and bringing them up to your mouth.
"Open,"
Alastor commanded you, then pushed his fingers past your lips to press flat against your tongue. "So messy," he breathed out as you sucked his digits clean of your mixed fluids, not wanting a single drop to go to waste. Satisfied with your obedience, Alastor withdrew his fingers from your mouth a few moments later and cupped your cheek - brushing his calloused thumb over the remnants of your running mascara and eventually drifting back down to press against your lower lip. In that instance, his ever-present smile softened into one of serenity and contentment, drinking in this moment of complete ataraxy.
He could feel the effects of the Love Potion finally begin to drain from his body, being replaced with a sense of relief and... disappointment. 'Something's not right here,' Alastor realized, noticing that despite having successfully remedied his symptoms, he still very much so desired your company and affection. He rarely experienced emotions of a sexual nature outside his ruts, and he couldn't recall having ever felt romantic attraction to anyone in life or in death, so it was strange that he found himself wanting to drag this out as long as possible. But why? What about you was so different that had him betraying his preferences, yearning for your touch and longing to hear those sweet whispers over and over again until you couldn't speak?
Perhaps Love Potion was more than just a potent aphrodisiac and he simply underestimated the range of effects that spray could have on a person. He never had any reason to learn anything about it before tonight, viewing it strictly as another pointlessly annoying invention by those bandwagon riding hacks, so he was in the dark just as much as you. Or maybe his rut hit him early this time around. Whatever the case, Alastor refused to admit these were his own raw, unfiltered emotions and desires - it was too ridiculous, too comical a notion to be true. Him, the Radio Demon, the great and powerful Alastor, famous for his sadistic brutality, experiencing feelings as asinine and weak as romance? How utterly absurd!
... Unfortunately, the longer it went on, the more he was forced to acknowledge the horrendous possibility that dreadful mixture had only served as a catalyst to something much greater than a simple romp in the hay.
'This won't do,' Alastor thought, knowing he had to uproot these feelings of infatuation as soon as possible - before they grew beyond containment and become a threat of any sort. And yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was fully aware that it was a foolish decision, to not cut this off at the source immediately, but he couldn't help himself. The brilliance with which your eyes shined and the promises of bliss your body continued to make even now had him second guessing that course of action. But there was still a very real possibility, one much more likely that this was just a passing fancy brought on by the drug, and all he needed to do was get it - get you out of his system. 'Yes, that's all I need to do,' he told himself, deciding that he would indulge in these cravings - and you - for a little while longer.
Impulsively, Alastor leaned down again to give you a sweet kiss. His lips lingered on yours, one hand moving to curl around the back of your neck, the other finding your waist as he tugged you up into a sitting position. What started out as an innocent kiss soon turned more playful when he felt your teeth nipping and tugging on his lip, causing him to pull away with a light-hearted chuckle. "Quite the mischievous little minx, too," he said as he continued to smile down at you, a breathy giggle emerging from your throat in response to his statement. "There's the pot calling the kettle black," you mused, letting your hands rest on his forearms and leaning forward to press your head against his bare chest. "Hmm... I prefer the term 'cheeky monkey', but I suppose mischievous works just as well," he countered, lightly massaging the base of your scalp.
Silence filled the space between you as your exhaustion was quickly catching up, and you struggled to keep your eyes open. You had to stifle yet another yawn, something that did not go unnoticed by Alastor when he pulled you back gently by your hair to see your face better. "Tired? Would you like to stop?" he asked you, his grin widening when he saw the confusion on your face. Alastor looked down at the small space between your bodies, then to your face as a single brow rose - as if he was hinting for you to look down as well. "As enjoyable as that was, I don't think it was enough to rid my body of these pesky symptoms," he blamed that god-awful concoction, adamantly refusing to admit these desires were all his and nothing more. Following Alastor's suggestions, you looked down to see that he was once again fully erect, beads of precum leaking from his head to join with the remnants of your mixed essences. "Damn... What the hell did they put in that potion?" you asked jovially as you looked back up at him, a smile to match his own plastered across your face.
"I've not the slightest clue," Alastor laughed along with you at this predicament you've found yourselves in, glad that you both were now able to make light of the situation your mistake had caused. "But I will most definitely be having a little chat with our friend, Angel, about bringing such paraphernalia into this establishment come morning," he promised, his voice coming out as a growl as Angel's name rolled off his tongue. Alastor wholeheartedly blamed Angel for this chain of events - had he kept to the initial agreement when taking up residence at Hazbin Hotel, the drug never would have been anywhere near your naive self, and he wouldn't be tearing himself apart inside trying to figure out what it is he truly felt for you. Was it a fair judgement? Probably not, but it was of no concern to Alastor.
That was Charlie's job, not his.
"Uh-huh... And will this be a chat, chat, or should I stock up on tissues and ice cream before telling Charlie that her first guest is, ya know-" you ran your finger in a straight line across your neck as a way of saying 'dead'. Your question pulled him from his thoughts and Alastor blinked innocently. "Oh, heaven's no! I'm not going to kill him over something so frivolous as this!" he reassured you, waving a hand in the air to dismiss the idea. He had thought about it, sure - but it would bring more trouble than it was worth. He would never hear the end of it from Charlie and her pet; not to mention the numerous problems that would occur following his butchery of an owned soul, one belonging to a rival Overlord, and of high quality and value as Angel Dust. He could easily handle whatever the Vee's threw at him without breaking a sweat, but he'd rather not invite that kind of trouble to his doorstep just yet, not with the impending Extermination steadfastly approaching.
"He wouldn't die anyway, unless I used angelic steel. I'd rather save myself the headache he would give me after he puts himself back together."
Alastor had to hand it to Angel, though. He was mildly impressed by the resilience of his soul as well as his mind. When there was more than a fifty percent gap in the level of power, usually the owned soul would lose their sense of autonomy and become a mindless drone within the owner's ranks - but not him. Angel not only maintained his sentience after selling his soul, but he also still possessed the will to fight back too - and fight back, he did whenever Val's abuse stepped outside the parameters of their contract, a feat deserving of his praise. He had potential, that one. "Besides, it's far too entertaining to watch him annoy Husker. Poor fellow brings it on himself," he explained and waved away your concerns, soon turning his attention back to the growing ache within his loins.
"Okay, good. It's not really his fault, anyway," you mumbled as you thought of how you were going to get to Angel first - you had to warn him, at least. He may have brought Love Potion into the hotel, but you were the one ignorant enough to spray a previously unknown substance around one of the most feared demons Hell has ever known in recent memory. Angel already had one Overlord breathing down his neck, abusing him at every turn - it would eat you alive if you were the reason a second was added to the mixture. Drawing your attention back to him, Alastor lowered his hands to your hips and pulled you closer, pressing himself against you in an effort to alleviate some of his pain. "But I can think of a couple things that would be far more entertaining than a cat trying to swat away a spider," he purred, static popping loudly as he leaned down to steal another kiss from you, to which you happily returned.
The moment was fleeting as Alastor pulled back and reached behind you to the small vintage radio sitting near the corner of his desk. He pulled the knob to power it up and turned a few dials until smooth jazz began to play from its speakers. Although still mildly irked by your earlier actions - when you covered your mouth in an attempt to silence yourself - he remembered the embarrassment he saw in your eyes. Now that he was able think more clearly on it, he realized how much it truly bothered you to be heard by someone else other than him, and it sent small pangs of guilt all throughout his being. 'How inconsiderate of me,' he thought, cursing himself for not having any restraint despite his warning of the possibilities earlier. Alastor owed you an apology for the way he ignored your feelings in pursuit of his own pleasure, especially when you had been nothing but compassionate and accommodating of his needs.
Taking a step back, Alastor bent over to unlace his shoes and remove his remaining garments that were wrapped around his ankles - allowing you a glimpse of something curious. Initially, you had no idea what it was as you leaned forward, then side to side in an attempt to get a better look at it. "Hmm...?" Alastor hummed when he stood up straight, immediately noting the perplexed expression that overtook your features as he kicked his trousers and briefs to the side. "Something the matter, dear?" he asked you, tilting his head to the side as you pressed your lips into a thin line. You continued to eye the neatly groomed ball of crimson and black fluff for a few seconds before it finally dawned on you what it might have been.
Does... he have a tail?
"Alastor, is that a tail?" you blurted without thinking, immediately slapping both of your hands over your mouth right after. "Oh- that," he said nonchalantly, moving to stand between your legs once more. Your body tensed as you awaited his reaction, certain that you had earned yourself a good scolding for such an impolite question. You hadn't meant to be so bold or outright, but you've long since known that your body and your brain hadn't been on the same page since the moment all of this began. "Yes, it's a tail," Alastor responded with a sigh and turned slightly, swishing the puff of fur side to side a couple times to amuse you before turning back. "I'm sorry, that was rude- ...!?" you tried to apologize, but a surprised squeal interrupted your speech when his sharpened claws sunk into your posterior after he hoisted you up off the desk, your hands shooting up to grab onto his shoulders and legs wrapping around his waist in the process.
"It's alright, darling," Alastor reassured you, spinning around and taking a few long strides to the rarely used bed. "While I'm not particularly fond of it, my tail isn't something that I've ever gone out of my way to hide," he explained, dropping you onto the mattress and climbing on top of you soon after, nestling himself in between your legs as you breathed a sigh of relief - albeit a short-lived one. He leaned down to whisper in your ear, causing your body to tense right back up with each word that spilled from his lips. "Although, you are correct - it was quite rude to ask such a thing," he clicked his tongue in mock disapproval, his pointed teeth nipping at the shell of your ear, then moving down to tug on the lobe. "Perhaps I should give you a lesson in proper etiquette, hm?" Alastor mused, rolling his bare hips against yours, sending shivers up and down your spine, not missing the flash of panic in your eyes when his words finally registered in your brain.
'Shit. Shit, shit, shit- fucking hell, fuck my life!' you thought, trying to reel yourself back in and failing miserably. If this 'lesson' of his was anything like the punishment he had doled out earlier, you knew you were in for a rough night - one that would leave you physically incapable of walking out of his room come morning. "No- ...! Al, no, no... i-it was just a slip of the tongue, I swear!" your pleas had no effect on him though, his lips ghosting over the carotid artery in your neck, then over your collar bone and traveling further down to your breasts. "I'm sorry, please- ...!" you spoke, only to be interrupted by Alastor's stern gaze, looking up at you as he placed butterfly kisses to your bare chest and his teeth grazed over your erect nipple. "I know you are, dear," Alastor started, kissing further down your diaphragm to your navel, not breaking eye contact for even a millisecond. "But if 'sorry' fixed everything, there would be no hell, no demons, and we most definitely would not be in this hotel," he smirked wickedly, knowing that you couldn't argue with the point he had just made - your silence proved as much.
Alastor continued to move south, soon reaching the delicious mound between your thighs, never once thinking it would be this fun, this intoxicating. But, as much as he wanted to devour you and everything you had to offer him, he was on a self-imposed mission now and couldn't let himself get distracted. He would have the chance to indulge himself in a few short moments, anyway. Heated breath fanning over your soaked core, Alastor lightly kissed and nipped at the insides of your thighs, past your knees and down your calves - stopping momentarily for a taste of your blood that was still seeping from your self-inflicted wound. He groaned as the taste of copper coated his tongue, one hand wrapping around your ankle, deft digits unclasping the strap of your heel - repeating the process with the other and discarding both seconds later.
Sighing in defeat, you wiggled your newly freed toes while Alastor began to kiss his way back up your body until he was face to face with you again. "W-well then... what would this lesson entail, exactly?" you asked nervously, resigning yourself over to your fate as you tried to sift through your mixed emotions, unable to differentiate your anxiety from your excitement for the coming lesson. "Ah, ah, ah - patience, my dear," Alastor chuckled darkly at your question, not bothering to answer it as he roughly pressed his lips to yours and pinched one of your pert nipples. "Mmph-phh!" you whined, your body flinching at the pain his digits were causing as he twisted the sensitive flesh between his thumb and forefinger. Alastor pulled back, his teeth dragging your bottom lip with him as far as it would go - releasing it and your pebbled nipple simultaneously a few seconds later.
"On your knees."
Gulping audibly, you moved to sit up and reposition yourself in the center of his bed, eager yet a bit fearful of what he had in store. "O-okay... now what?" Alastor didn't answer your question at first, his figure evaporating into a cloud of black smoke only to reform in the space behind you. You couldn't see what he was doing, feeling the bed shift with his every move, causing your heart to race as you did your best to wait patiently for whatever it was that he had planned. "Now, we're going to play a little game, love," Alastor whispered in your ear, using his knee to force your legs further apart, tracing his lips down the rigid vertebrae of your spine. He placed one final kiss at the small of your back, eventually moving to lie flat on his own and scooting upwards until his face was between your thighs.
Looking down when you felt his antlers scrape across your sensitive skin, you had to cover your mouth with both hands to stile a laugh. "Alastor, what are you doing?" you asked, not expecting to have seen just his head in this position nor the uncharacteristic look of innocence he was giving you - a stark contrast to his previous display of dominance moments ago. "I told you already - we're going to play a game, one that will teach you some proper manners," Alastor explained despite knowing that your question was rhetorical - he knew it must have been an amusing sight, to look down and see his face when you were likely expecting him to whisper sweet nothings in your ear as he took you in every which way he pleased. He still intended to do exactly that, but not before you finished this game he just now concocted. Hands latching on to your hips, Alastor pulled your lower body down until you could feel his breath against your warmth each time he exhaled, that devilish silver tongue of his licking a single long stripe from your opening up and over your clit, then back down again.
"The rules are simple enough," Alastor began to explain, hands drifting down from your hips to the tops of your thighs and squeezing lightly. "I'll go easy on you, my darling doe. All you have to do is name five basic etiquette rules. If you stop talking, I stop," he paused mid-sentence to lick another stripe up your slick folds, "if you slow down, I slow down," another pause, this time flicking the tip of his tongue over the pink nub in between. "And if you cum before reciting them to me, trust that I won't let you cum again tonight," he promised, smile wide and wicked, a mischievous laugh following his words. You broke out into a cold sweat as he explained, your nerves kicking into overdrive as you tried to remember what the rules were. Most of them were common courtesy and usually taught to everyone during childhood, but with your mind so clouded with lust, you couldn't think of a single one. On the bright side, at least he only wanted you to name five.
"A-and... what if I can't recite any of these rules?" you asked sheepishly, biting the inside of your cheek to hold back your mewls when he dipped his tongue inside your plush walls and swirled all around them, retreating soon after and returning to your clit. He pulled back just enough to speak, inhaling your sweet scent and fighting back the urge to dive right back in - rules be damned. "Hmm... I'll give you one hint. After that, well... You're on your own. Use it wisely, my dear," his voice trailed off, eyes glowing a bright red as you stared at each other.
"Now, shall we begin, my sweet?"
Fuck, this was going to be hard. How the fuck were you supposed to think and form coherent sentences when his ministrations were lighting every single nerve in your body on fire? And you hadn't even begun yet! Alastor was awaiting your signal to start, anticipation and impatience gnawing away at his self-control. "Ooohhh- ohh-kaah- aay-! Let's staa-hahh- arrrt-!" you cried, trying to focus your mind so that you could begin. "Wonderful," he responded shortly before diving back in for another taste of your honey sweet essence. He started by poking and prodding at your slick entrance, then moved up to suck on your clit as you moaned softly with each suckle, each flick over the small cluster of nerves. He could see the gears turning in that pretty little head of yours, trying to find the words to recite the first rule of basic etiquette.
"O-okay, uhm... fuck," you whispered. "One rule is- so the first rule, I mean- nnghh!" a harsh suckle from Alastor was making it hard for you to focus on anything except the pleasure he was giving you. "A-always be respectful to others-!" With one rule down, you heard Alastor hum softly into your heated flesh, gasping loudly when he opened his mouth wider and pressed his tongue flat against your delicious mound, making long, firm strokes. "Aaahh-! Another rule i-is... shit, another rule is- ... is, be punctual- hahh! Let someone k-know if you're going to be- fuck! -To be late!" Rule number two, done; three to go. You tried to keep talking, even if it was just a bunch of babbling nonsense. You didn't want him to slow down or stop, but as the coil in your belly tightened rapidly and threatened to snap at any second, you recalled the third rule he had given you:
'And f you cum before reciting them to me, trust that I won't let you cum again tonight.'
Those words rang in your ears as you reluctantly closed your mouth and forced yourself to stop talking, trying to cool yourself off and push back your orgasm. Alastor wasn't pleased by this, but he was the one that set the rules, so he obeyed - stopping his movements and glaring up at you, his nails digging into the fat of your thighs as a warning not to test his already too thin patience. "Go on," he urged you, his right hand retreating from your leg to travel down his own body to his painfully erect cock, precum dripping from his slit and rolling down the length of it to soak the patch of neatly groomed crimson hair at his base. Swallowing hard, you nodded your head and opened your mouth to continue speaking even though you had not yet come down completely. "A-ask for permission, an-nnnghh-! And uhmm- oh fuck! Fuck, c-cover your mouth when you... when you sneeze, or cough- oh my god!" you recited rule number three and four in quick succession, your hands shooting down to twist and tug at his magnificently opulent head of red and black hair, eventually moving to wrap around the base of his antlers, looking for something to ground yourself as you tried to think of one final rule.
"You're doing well, Mon Amour. One more, and then you can let go," Alastor promised you, lazily stroking his hardened length in an effort to alleviate some of the pain, a bead of pre rolling down the length of it and mixing with your combined essences in the space between his shaft and balls. A soft whine escaped his throat when he tightened his grip and began to pump himself with a little more vigor, drool mixed with the delicious nectar spilling from your core trickling down the sides of his face and coating his chin. "Come now, don't keep me waiting. You can do it," he mumbled against your flesh, waiting for you to begin speaking again.
Alastor continued to pump his shaft, gradually gaining speed as you remained silent, panting hard and squeezing his antlers even harder, struggling to fight back your release long enough to finish the game. But the sight beneath you was one to behold, indeed - you couldn't bring yourself down even a smidgen as you admired the way the soft light shone on his disheveled hair, how his hooded eyes spoke volumes on what he was feeling, new branches forming and growing from the main roots of his antlers as control began to slip from his fingertips once more. And just as you stared at him, he stared back. His own eyes traveled from your blissed out expression, pupils blown wide with lust, to the bite marks and hickeys scattered across your neck and collarbone, and further down to the curve of your supple breasts heaving as you tried to catch your breath before you continued. "My sweet doe, please..." Now he was the one that was begging, voice thick with seduction and desperation. Had you not been so close to your peak, you would have taken full advantage of the opportunity to dominate him this time around.
You watched him for a couple seconds, listening as his breathing became more ragged and the slick sounds of his hand rapidly pumping his shaft grew louder and louder. Moans soon replaced his huffs and gasps as he pushed himself closer to his climax, almost foregoing his own game and devouring your sweet little cunt as he chased his high - but no. He persevered, pinching his tip suddenly to push back his own release in favor of hearing the last rule he so eagerly waited for you to speak. He didn't have to wait for long, as you finally felt comfortable enough to open your mouth and continue speaking, pressing your drenched core down and grinding slow, harsh circles on his mouth. "A-and the last rule- nnghh oh fuck me, just like that-!" you whispered, grip tightening around his antlers as Alastor growled against your ambrosian heat, his left hand moving down to join the other by cupping his aching balls, kneading and rolling them between his digits, slurping messily and sucking harshly on your clit as he came closer and closer to his release.
"The last rule i-is- hahhh-! A-always... always say please and thank you!" you finished, closing your eyes and throwing your head bad in ecstasy, your hips gyrating, desperately chasing that breath-takingly, blissful release. "Oh my god, fuck- thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank youuu-ahh! Please, keep going, Al-!" you cried as the blinding, white hot euphoria crashed into you at long last, tremors wracking your entire body as you rode out your high, your essence pouring from your cunt and down Alastor's throat, eliciting a graphic, drawn out groan as he vigorously pumped away at his cock - too far gone to care that you had broken the golden rule by looking away from him. Not wanting to cum just yet, Alastor retracted his hands from his aching shaft and grabbed hold of your waist, lifting you slightly to slip out from beneath you.
"You're so good for me! So good," Alastor murmured as he moved to sit on his knees behind you, pushing your body forward until you were on your hands and knees. Grabbing hold of your hips and dragging you closer to him, he didn't waste any time as he guided his throbbing member to your quivering hole, your juices making it easy for him to slip inside with minimal resistance. Setting a brutal pace almost instantly, Alastor held you by the hips as you lowered your upper body until your face was pressed against the heavy duvet, your hands clenching the thick fabric as Alastor pounded away at your overstimulated pussy, his balls slapping loudly against your clit as your walls clamped down on his engorged cock. "Hah- A-Ah! Ala- fuck, yes, just like that! Please don't stop, please don't stop, don't stop!" you babbled, your voice muffled by the blanket as you closed your eyes tightly, riding the aftershocks while he used you for his own gratification.
"Fuuuhh-ckkk!" you barely heard Alastor curse, his voice almost completely drowned out by the rhythmic 'pap! pap! pap!' sound of skin on skin, his thrusts becoming more animalistic with every slap, every plea you cried than bounced off the walls and invaded his senses. His eyes traveled down the length of your arched spine, watching as ripples were sent through the fat of your ass each time his hips made contact, his cock sliding against your pliant walls with ease, his tip bullying your cervix. "Hah! Hah! Fuh- ... uhah! Ala- ... Hah! Ah!" you practically screamed, his thrusts interrupting any attempts to say his name each time he plowed forward.
"Take it, take it, fucking take it- fuck!"

Aemond woke with a start, his arm stretching across the bed to where Y.N. should have been, but the space beside him was cold and empty.
A sinking feeling gripped him as he sat up, glancing around the room in confusion. Throwing on his discarded clothes from the night before, he hurried down the hallway to Jackâs room. The sight of the empty cot made his heart race, panic flooding his chest.
âY.N.?â he called out, but there was no answer.
Aemond tried to remain calm, his fingers fumbling for his phone. He rang her, but it went straight to voicemail. He tried again and again, the same result. Frustration and fear mounted with each passing second.
He paced the living room, running through his contacts, ringing Helaena, Daeron, and even Aegon, asking if they had seen her or heard from her. The answer was always the same: no.
His chest tightened. Had she really left him? After last night? Aemondâs gaze darted around the penthouse, and he realized that her things were still there.
The suitcase she had packed in a fury the night before was still there, laying where it had fallen on the floor during their vigorous sex session.
Relief washed over him, but it was quickly replaced by confusion. If she hadnât left, where was she?
Just as he contemplated going out to search for her, the sound of the door opening made him freeze. Y.N. stepped inside, pushing Jackâs pram.
Aemond rushed to her, wrapping his arms around her without a second thought.
"Where were you?" he asked, his voice thick with emotion as he unbuckled Jack from the pram and lifted him into his arms, holding him close. "I was worried."
Y.N. gave him a small, tired smile. "I went to the doctor," she said, her tone matter of fact. "Since we didnât take any precautions last night, I needed to get the morning-after pill."
Aemondâs breath hitched. "Oh," he said softly, watching as Y.N. reached into her bag and pulled out a small box.
She read the instructions on the back, popped out the pill, and swallowed it with a glass of water.
"I also decided that Iâm going to start taking the contraceptive pill," she added. "Just to be safe."
Aemond nodded slowly, his gaze following her movements. He put Jack down on his play mat, the soft jingling of toys filling the room. He took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts.
âAbout last night-â he started, his voice hesitant. â-I donât know what came over me. If I was too roughâif I hurt youââ
Y.N. shook her head, cutting him off. "Donât apologize," she said softly. âI liked it.â
Her words stirred something inside him, but Aemond knew there was more to say, more to confront. He couldnât keep avoiding it. Turning to face her fully, he took a deep breath.
âWe need to talk,â he said, his voice steady but serious. "About us."
Y.N. finished her water and leaned against the counter, arms folded across her chest. She nodded, her expression unreadable. Aemond took a step closer.
âFor a start,â he continued, â-There is no us. But donât you think there should be?â
Y.N. hesitated for a moment, chewing her lip as she considered his words. "I guess things werenât working out the way they were."
âNo, they werenât,â Aemond agreed. âBut we already have a child. We live together, we have sex and we love each other Why canât we explore a relationship? Properly.â
Y.N. raised an eyebrow, her voice tinged with scepticism. "What about Alys?"
Aemond sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I swear, thereâs nothing there with her. Not anymore. I know I shouldnât have let her in, but I feel like I owe her-for the way things ended."
Y.N. narrowed her eyes, clearly still not convinced. "I donât trust her, Aemond. Not one bit."
âI know you donât like her,â he replied. âBut I promise, itâs just business. Thereâs nothing else between us.â
Y.N. looked at him, her gaze searching his face for the truth. âIs this really what you want?â she asked quietly. âTo be with me?â
Aemond stepped forward, his eye never leaving hers. âIt is. Iâve been a fool to wait this long to ask you.â
She chuckled lightly, some of the tension easing between them. "Why did you wait?" she teased, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
Aemond smirked, rolling his eye. "Fear, mostly. Fear that you didnât feel the same way. Fear of ruining what we had."
Y.N. let out a soft laugh. âIf you really mean it-I want you to ask me properly.â
Aemondâs smirk widened, and he crossed his arms. âSo, regularly sticking you with my cock isnât asking properly?â
She laughed again, shaking her head. "No, itâs not the same thing."
He let out a deep breath, taking her hand in his. âY.N.,â he said, his voice soft but sure. âWill you be my girlfriend?â
Y.N. smiled, a bright, genuine smile that lit up her whole face. âYes,â she said, her voice filled with warmth. âI will be your girlfriend.â
Aemond grinned, his heart swelling with joy as he leaned in and kissed her, softly at first, then with more passion.
When they finally pulled apart, Y.N. excused herself to the bathroom, leaving Aemond standing there, his mind racing with relief and happiness.
Finally, she was his.
Aemond sat with Aegon and Daeron at their usual table in the club, the neon lights casting a soft glow over them.
The atmosphere was buzzing, and as they ordered their drinks, Daeronâs eyes zeroed in on the mark on Aemond's neck. He sniggered, pointing at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Who's responsible for that?" Daeron asked, barely hiding his smirk.
Aegon snorted, taking a sip of his beer. "Alys?"
Aemond glared at him. "Absolutely not. It was my girlfriend."
Aegonâs laugh echoed over the thumping music. âSo, you finally grew some balls and asked Y.N. out?â
Aemond scowled at him but didnât deny it, which only made Aegon laugh harder.
Daeron shook his head in amusement. âAbout time. By the way, did you ever find out where she went the other day? You were freaking out."
Aemond sighed, swirling his whiskey. "She went to the doctor. Got the morning-after pill."
Aegon rolled his eyes dramatically. "Seriously, do you have some kind of aversion to condoms or what?"
"My mind was on other things at the time,â Aemond muttered defensively, taking a long drink. âBut sheâs on the pill now.â
Daeron chuckled. âAt least sheâs taking responsibility.â
Aemond hummed in agreement before dropping a bombshell. âAlys stopped by the penthouse.â
Aegon nearly choked on his beer, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. âYou what? You let her in? Are you an idiot?â
Daeron looked equally stunned. âWhat were you thinking?â
âI-feel like I owe her,â Aemond admitted, though his voice lacked conviction.
âFor what?â Aegon demanded.
Aemond leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly â-For cheating on herâ
Aegon scoffed âThe two of you were living completely separate lives before you dipped your wick in Y.Nâ
âMaybe I still feel like I owe her something for the way things endedâ
Aegon rolled his eyes. âPlease. Alys was in the relationship for herself, and you know it.â
Aemond shook his head, staring into his glass. âMaybe toward the end, but at the beginning-â
Daeron cut him off. âBeginning, middle, or endâitâs irrelevant now. You donât owe Alys a damn thing.â
Aegon raised his beer. âHere, here. Come on, brother. Drink upâweâre celebrating tonight!â
Aemond arched an eyebrow. âCelebrating what?â
Aegon grinned wide. âYou finally getting the girl.â
Later that night, after far too many drinks, Aemond stumbled down the hallway to his penthouse.
His fingers fumbled with the key, and in his drunken state, he cursed under his breath.
"Who's moving this damned lock?" he groaned, leaning against the door for support.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Aemond went flying into the penthouse, landing ungracefully on the floor.
He blinked up at Y.N., who stood above him, arms crossed but an amused smile playing on her lips.
âHello,â he slurred, sprawled on the floor.
Y.N. knelt down, a mix of amusement and concern on her face. âDid you have a good night?â
Aemond clumsily tried to get to his knees, swaying slightly. âI had a few beers,â he mumbled.
Y.N. quirked an eyebrow. âLooks like youâve had more than a few,â she remarked, closing the door behind him and locking it.
Aemond groaned, rubbing his forehead. âIâm bit tired.â
âLetâs get you to bed, then,â Y.N. said, helping him to his feet. He stumbled slightly, and she all but dragged him towards the bedroom.
On the way, Aemond suddenly stopped, looking serious. âI have a girlfriend,â he said, as if making a grand declaration.
Y.N. stifled a laugh. âIâm sure your girlfriend will understand.â
Aemond looked up at her, his drunken expression deadly serious. âMy girlfriend is my girlfriend, and she had a baby-my baby-â
âHow nice,â Y.N. laughed, guiding him to the edge of the bed. She sat him down and began pulling off his shoes and socks.
As she worked, Aemondâs eye fluttered, his head lolling. âYou smell nice,â he murmured, slurring slightly.
Y.N. laughed again, shaking her head as she took off his coat and removed his eyepatch. She was careful, knowing how vulnerable he felt without it.
Aemond squinted up at her. âAre you trying to get me naked?â he asked, a lopsided grin on his face.
Y.N. rolled her eyes. âIâm trying to get you comfortable.â
Aemondâs hands found their way to her waist, his forehead resting against her stomach as he clung to her. âI love you,â he mumbled, his voice softer now. âI do. So much. Please donât leave me.â
Her heart clenched at his words. âIâm not leaving. Now, come onâlie down and go to sleep.â
With her gentle urging, Aemond finally lay back against the pillows, his body relaxing almost instantly. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he was out cold, his breathing deep and steady.
Y.N. stood there for a moment, watching him sleep, her hand brushing through his hair. Despite everything, she couldnât help but smile.
Aemond woke up the next morning face down, groaning at the pounding in his skull.
His mouth felt like sandpaper, and the faint light filtering through the curtains only worsened his throbbing headache.
He groaned and muttered to himself, "Never drinking again."
Slowly, he pushed himself up, feeling like every bone in his body ached from his night of excess. Shakily, he stood and stumbled toward the bathroom, catching a glimpse of his dishevelled reflection.
His hair was a mess, and the faint smell of stale alcohol clung to his skin. âGods, I reek,â he muttered, stripping off his clothes and stepping into the shower.
The hot water didnât do much to ease his hangover, but at least it helped him feel a little more human. After drying off, he threw on a clean shirt and sweatpants before heading to the kitchen, still rubbing his temples.
When he entered the kitchen, the smell of sizzling bacon hit him, making his stomach growl loudly. Y.N. stood at the stove, flipping over sausages and eggs, while a platter of crispy bacon sat on the counter.
âWhat's all this?â Aemond asked, his voice hoarse from last night.
Y.N. looked over her shoulder with a small smile. âBacon, eggs, sausagesâbest hangover cure there is.â
Aemond could practically taste the food already, his stomach growling in anticipation. âYou're a lifesaver.â
Before sitting down, he wandered into the living room to check on Jack. His son was on his playmat, gurgling happily and kicking his legs in the air.
Aemondâs heart softened instantly as he crouched down, brushing his hand over Jackâs soft hair. "Good morning, little man," he murmured.
Y.N.âs voice called from the kitchen. âAemond, come sit down. Foodâs ready.â
Reluctantly leaving Jack, Aemond joined her at the table and sat down. The plate in front of him was piled with foodâgolden eggs, perfectly crisp bacon, sausages cooked to perfection.
He didnât waste time, diving in hungrily. Every bite seemed to ease the ache in his head a little more.
After finishing his breakfast, Y.N. handed him a glass of water and some painkillers. "Thought you might need these," she said with a teasing smile.
Aemond sighed in relief, taking the painkillers gratefully. âYouâre a saint,â he muttered, washing them down.
The rest of the day passed in a blur of laziness. Aemond spent most of it sprawled out on the sofa, watching Jack play nearby, occasionally dozing off.
At one point, he even found himself napping with Jack snuggled up against him on the couch, the babyâs soft breaths helping him relax despite his headache.
But his peaceful nap was interrupted by a loud knock on the door, startling him awake. Jack stirred but didnât cry, and Aemond gently laid him back on the playmat before sitting up groggily.
Y.N. was already answering the door when two men entered, their arms laden with large boxes, making quite a racket as they brought them inside.
Y.N. signed for the delivery, thanking them before they left. She turned toward the boxes with a curious look, wiping her hands on a towel as she approached them.
"Whatâs all this?" Aemond asked, still feeling groggy as he watched her tear open the packaging.
âItâs a delivery from the museum,â Y.N. explained, pulling away the bubble wrap to reveal two statues inside, both looking worse for wear. The stone was chipped in several places, and the detail on their surfaces was faded and worn down.
Aemond stepped closer, peering at the statues. âThink you can fix them?â
Y.N. smiled confidently, her fingers running over the smooth, cold surface of one of the statues. âAbsolutely. Theyâve seen better days, but Iâve handled worse. Iâll have them looking good as new soon.â
Aemond nodded, impressed as always with her skill. He watched her work for a moment, feeling a surge of pride in her abilities. âYouâre really amazing, you know that?â
Y.N. looked up from the statue, a soft blush colouring her cheeks. âThanks,â she said quietly before turning back to her workbench.
For the next couple of months, Y.N. worked diligently on the two statues that had been delivered from the museum.
She had printed pictures of what the statues originally looked like and pinned them to the walls of her workspace for reference.
Each day was a careful, deliberate processâshe spent hours gently cleaning the weathered stone, ensuring that every inch was properly prepped before moving on to repairs.
When the cleaning was complete, Y.N. mixed plaster to the perfect consistency, using it to patch up the chips and cracks that marred the statues.
She took her time, delicately applying the mixture before using a fine-grain sandpaper to smooth out any unevenness. Every touch required precision, and the smallest mistake could ruin weeks of progress.
After the repairs were done, she moved on to the final stages: painting and applying a special wax that not only enhanced the statues' details but also provided an extra layer of protection.
It was a painstakingly slow process, but Y.N. found it rewarding. Still, the work had taken longer than anticipated due to balancing her time between the restoration and caring for Jack.
Once the statues were fully restored, they were carefully boxed up in layers of protective material and sent back to the museum.
As much as Y.N. loved her work, she felt a sense of relief when the project was completed. She had poured so much energy into the restoration that, despite her passion, it left her feeling drained.
But knowing that she had done justice to the pieces, especially with Jack in tow, made the reward even sweeter.
One afternoon, feeling a little freer after finishing the statues, Y.N. decided to surprise Aemond at work.
She stopped by a local cafĂŠ to grab them some dinner and pushed Jack in his pram as she made her way to Targaryen Inc.
As she entered the sleek lobby, she was startled to hear someone call her name. She turned to see Jacaerys waving at her from across the room.
They hadnât seen each other since the heated argument in the cafĂŠ months ago, and Y.N. hesitated for a moment before waving back.
Jace quickly crossed the room to meet her. "Hey," he said, a bit of uncertainty in his voice. "How have you been?"
Y.N. smiled, adjusting her grip on Jack's pram. "I've been fine. You?"
Jace glanced down at Jack, his expression softening. "Wow, he really looks like Aemond."
Y.N. smiled fondly at her son. "Yeah, he does."
After a beat, Jace rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Look, I wanted to apologize for how I spoke to you in the cafĂŠ. I was angry, and I lashed out. But I shouldnât have said those things."
Y.N. took a deep breath, remembering how hurtful that encounter had been.
But seeing Jace now, visibly regretful, she nodded. "Itâs okay. I probably should have told you from the start that Aemond was Jackâs father. I understand why you were upset."
Jace gave her a sad smile. "How are things with my uncle? My mother said you two are dating now."
Y.N. felt a warmth spread through her at the thought of Aemond. "Theyâre good. I know we did things a little backwardâbaby first, then the relationshipâbut weâre happy."
Jace nodded, but his smile was tinged with sadness. "I'm glad to hear that," he said quietly.
For a few moments, they stood there in silence, the weight of everything unspoken hanging between them.
Then Jace cleared his throat and glanced at the time. "I should get going. I told my mother I'd only be five minutes."
Y.N. smiled. "Of course. It was nice seeing you, Jace."
He hesitated for a second, then quickly stepped forward and hugged her.
It was brief but sincere. "Take care, Y.N.," he said as he pulled away, rushing off before either of them could dwell on the moment.
Y.N. watched him go, feeling a strange mixture of relief and nostalgia. She took a deep breath, then turned back toward the lift.
Pressing the button, she smiled at Jack, ready to surprise Aemond with their impromptu visit.
Y.N. stepped out of the lift, pushing Jack's pram ahead of her, feeling a surge of excitement at the idea of surprising Aemond.
The office was quiet, and she noticed Aemondâs assistant wasnât at her desk.
Smiling down at Jack, who gave her a gummy grin in response, she whispered, âLetâs surprise Daddy, shall we?â
She quietly pushed open the door to Aemondâs office, but the sight that greeted her made her stop in her tracks.
Alys was sitting close to Aemond on the leather sofa.
Aemond shot up from his seat the moment he saw Y.N. walk in, looking slightly startled.
"Y.N.," he said, with a forced smile, quickly crossing the room to kiss her head. "This is a nice surprise."
Y.N. fought the wave of anger surging through her but forced a smile. "I was taking a walk with Jack," she said, her voice tight, "and thought Iâd bring you something for dinner since you've been working hard lately."
Aemondâs face softened. "That was thoughtful of you," he said, reaching into the pram to lift Jack out. He held his son close, pressing a kiss to his chubby cheek. âDaddy's missed you.â
Y.N. watched, her stomach churning as Alys rose gracefully from the sofa and walked over to stand beside Aemond.
"Heâs gotten bigger-" Alys said with a sweet smile, looking at Jack. "Can I hold him?"
"No," Y.N. snapped, before she could stop herself. She quickly reached for Jack, putting him back into the pram and turning him away from Alys.
There was a tension in the air that no one could ignore as Alys stepped back, her smirk barely hidden.
Y.N. turned to Aemond, her voice sharp. "What is she doing here?"
Aemond leaned in close, whispering hurriedly, "I didnât know she was coming. She just turned up."
Y.N. narrowed her eyes, her anger boiling over. "Then you shouldâve thrown her old arse out."
Aemond sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Iâm just helping her get established with her business. Thatâs all."
Y.N. scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "The only business sheâs after is in your pants."
"You're being ridiculous," Aemond muttered, trying to keep his voice low.
Y.N. caught a glimpse of Alys standing by the desk, the smug smirk on her face as if she were relishing the tension in the room.
That was it. She couldnât take it anymore.
Without a second thought, Y.N. grabbed the bag of food she had brought for Aemond and threw it at him.
The containers hit his chest and fell to the floor, spilling sandwiches and chips across the carpet.
âHere,â she spat, her voice seething with anger. âI hope you both fucking chokeâ
Ignoring Aemondâs frantic calls of her name, she turned on her heel, pushing Jackâs pram out of the office as fast as she could, her heart pounding with fury.
Aemond stood in the middle of his office, wiping the food off his shirt with quick, agitated movements.
His eye flicked to the mess on the floor, the sandwiches and chips scattered across the carpet. Frustration gnawed at him, but before he could act on it, Alys approached, placing a hand gently on his arm.
âAemondââ she began, her tone soft, but he immediately snatched his arm away, his patience frayed.
"Don't," he snapped, his voice cold and sharp. He moved quickly to grab his jacket from the back of his chair, already making his way toward the door.
Alysâs voice followed him, laced with confusionâor perhaps something more manipulative. "Where are you going?"
"After Y.N.," Aemond responded, his tone clipped. "I need to talk to her. I need to explain."
"Explain what?" Alys asked, her voice turning smug. "We were only talking."
Aemond halted, turning to face her fully, his eye narrowing with irritation.
"What are you even doing here, Alys? The clients I recommended to you are more than capable of keeping you busy. You donât need my help anymore."
Alys smirked, a dangerous glint in her eye. "Youâre right. I donât need your help," she admitted, stepping closer. "I never really did"
Aemondâs frustration shifted into suspicion. His voice turned demanding. "What do you want, Alys?"
She gave him a slow, calculated smile. "I want you."
Aemond froze, his gaze hardening. "What?"
"I wasnât lying when I said I missed you," Alys said, her voice sultry, as she moved closer to him, her hands grazing his chest.
âIâm not interestedâ snapped Aemond.
"I remember when you used to be interested."
Aemond immediately removed her hands from him. "That was then," he said firmly, stepping back. "This is now."
Alys wasnât deterred. She leaned in, trying to kiss him, but Aemond pushed her away, more forcefully this time.
"I just want it to be the way it was," she said, a hint of desperation creeping into her voice.
"It will never be the way it was," Aemond said through clenched teeth, his temper rising. He couldnât believe she had the nerve to push this after everything. "Itâs over, Alys."
Still, Alys persisted. "We could be good together again, you know that. You felt it onceâ"
"Enough!" Aemond shouted, his voice booming with frustration. "Get it through your headâI donât fucking want you. What we had is over." His words cut like a knife, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
Alysâs face twisted in anger. "So, you're choosing Y.N over me?"
"Yes," Aemond said, his voice steady and final. "I choose her. I will always choose her. Because I love her"
There was no hesitation in his answer, and that seemed to anger Alys further. She glared at him, her face contorting with bitter jealousy.
"Fine," she said, grabbing her coat with sharp, angry movements. "But thatâs too bad. We couldâve had something special."
Aemond scoffed, crossing his arms. "I already have something special with Y.N. and Jack."
Alys moved toward the door, her expression icy. Just before she left, she turned to him, her voice low and venomous. "Not anymore, you donât."
With that, she slammed the door behind her, leaving Aemond standing alone in his office, her final words lingering like a dark cloud.
As Y.N rushed out of Targaryen Inc, her vision blurred by tears, she barely noticed the world around her. Each breath felt heavy with the weight of betrayal.
She had wanted to surprise Aemond with something thoughtful, but instead, sheâd walked into a scene that made her stomach turn. Alys, sitting close to himâtoo close. Her heart ached, and all she wanted was to escape.
By the time she reached the penthouse, Y.N was shaking. She hastily left a note and packed a bag for herself and Jack, not entirely sure where she was going, but desperate to leave.
With Jack bundled up and strapped into his pram, she left the penthouse, wandering the city streets. She hopped onto a bus without thinking, letting the rhythmic rocking carry her away from her thoughts, until she stood before a familiar black door.
The sound of music leaked through the walls, and she hesitated for a moment before ringing the doorbell.
The music paused, and moments later, the door swung open to reveal Aegon, shirtless and slightly dishevelled, clearly caught off guard.
âY.N.,â he said, surprised to see her standing there.
Behind him, a girl lounged lazily on the sofa, eyeing Y.N. with vague curiosity.
Embarrassed and feeling out of place, Y.N. tearfully apologized, backing away. "Iâm sorry for disturbing you. I should goâ"
Aegon quickly stepped forward, gently catching her arm. "Hey, waitâwhatâs wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern as he quickly pulled on a T-shirt.
"It doesnât matter," Y.N. muttered, tears threatening to spill again.
"It does matter," Aegon insisted, his voice firm yet kind. He turned to the girl on the sofa, gesturing toward the door. âYou need to leave.â
The girl huffed, gathering her clothes and glaring at Y.N. as she passed by.
As soon as the door shut behind her, Y.N. broke down, the sobs she had been holding back finally spilling out.
Aegon didnât hesitateâhe pulled her into a comforting hug, hushing her softly as she cried into his chest.
âWhat happened?â he asked gently, rubbing her back as she tried to calm down.
Y.N. took a shaky breath, wiping her face with the back of her hand. âI went to surprise Aemond at work-and Alys was there.â Her voice broke, and Aegon cursed under his breath.
âThat fucking idiot,â Aegon muttered, holding her tighter. He didnât press her for more details, just let her cry it out until the storm of emotions passed.
âCan Jack and I stay here tonight?â Y.N. asked after a moment, her voice soft and uncertain. âI donât want to go back. But heâll come looking for me-â
Aegon quickly nodded. âOf course, you can stay. Donât worry about him. If he comes round here, Iâll tell him youâre not here. And when Daeron gets home from work, Iâll make sure he keeps his mouth shut, too.â
Y.N. managed a small, grateful smile through her tears. âThank you-and Iâm sorry, again. I feel like Iâm imposing.â
Aegon shook his head, giving her a comforting smile. âStop apologizing. Youâre not the one in the wrongâAemond is. What the hell is he thinking?â
Just then, Jackâs soft cries filled the room, and Aegon released Y.N. so she could tend to him. She reached into the pram, but Aegon quickly offered to take the baby. âHere, let me.â
Y.N. handed Jack over, and Aegon rocked him gently, his touch surprisingly tender. âMy brother needs to open his eye and see that harpy for who she really is,â Aegon muttered, rolling his eyes.
Y.N. let out a small laugh, despite herself. âYouâre not wrong there.â
Aegon raised an eyebrow and grinned. âIâm serious. Iâve never liked her, and you know if I donât like a woman, thatâs a red flag. I mean, I love the ladies.â
Y.N. laughed again, this time a little more genuinely. âI know. Especially the married ones.â
Aegon shrugged with a playful smirk. âOf course. But Alys-sheâs different. In all honesty I never really liked looking directly at her.â
âSheâs not Medusaâ Y.N. said, shaking her head.
âShe might as well be,â Aegon shot back with a mock shiver.
After a few more moments, Aegon smiled and said, âWhy donât you sit down? Iâll sort us something to eat.â
Y.N. raised an eyebrow. âI didnât know you cooked.â
âI donât,â Aegon admitted with a grin. âIâm ordering takeout. Will pizza be okay?â
Y.N. nodded, grateful to be here in this moment, with someone who had her back when she needed it most.
Y.N gently bathed Jack in Aegonâs bathroom, the warm water soothing her nerves as much as it did Jackâs.
He splashed playfully, his little hands reaching for her as she carefully washed him, a small smile tugging at her lips despite the heaviness in her chest.
After drying him off, she dressed him in his soft, blue pyjamas, his eyes beginning to droop as she cradled him in her arms. She fed him, rocking slowly, humming a quiet tune until his soft, rhythmic breathing told her he had drifted off to sleep.
She laid him in the middle of Aegonâs bed, arranging pillows around him carefully, making sure he was safe and comfortable.
The door remained slightly ajar, just enough for her to hear him in case he woke up. Stepping back into the living room, she felt a pang of guilt.
"I feel terrible for kicking you out of your own bed," Y.N. said, biting her lip.
Aegon waved a hand dismissively. "Donât worry about it. I offered. Besides, Iâm not exactly known for my chivalryâthis is a rare moment for me, letâs not ruin it."
Y.N. chuckled weakly but appreciated the levity. She sank onto the couch, pulling out her phone.
Her breath hitched as she saw the screen flooded with notificationsâ30 missed calls from Aemond, and numerous text messages.
She scrolled through them, her heart twisting at the range of emotions. Messages declaring his undying love, apologizing profusely, followed by angry ones accusing her of taking Jack from him without any right.
The whirlwind of his emotions matched her own confusion.
"What are you going to do tomorrow?" Daeron asked, sitting down beside her.
Y.N. sighed, putting the phone down. "I donât know. I really donât. Part of me wants to talk to him, but after what happened today, I donât even know where to start."
"You can stay here as long as you need," Daeron reassured her. "But-you know Aemondâs going to find out eventually that weâve lied to him. And when he does, he wonât be happy."
Y.N. rubbed her temples, feeling the weight of it all crashing down on her. "Iâm sorry to drag you both into this. I just needed to get away, and I didnât know where else to go."
Aegon scoffed, lounging on the other end of the couch. "Screw him. Weâve all tried telling him about that bitch, but noooo-Aemond thinks he knows better. Now look where we are."
Daeron, ever the peacemaker, leaned forward. "Not to defend Aemond too much, but maybe he thought he was helping Alys out of some twisted sense of guiltâlike making up for cheating on her."
Aegon rolled his eyes, his frustration palpable. "The guyâs an idiot. Heâs letting this mess get in the way of what really mattersâ
Y.N. suddenly feeling overwhelmed, stood up "Iâm going to bed," she murmured, offering them both a tired smile. "Goodnight."
âNight-â said Aegon and Daeron in unison.
Y.N. walked down the hallway, her heart heavy. She peeked into the bedroom, watching Jack sleep peacefully, oblivious to the storm swirling around them.
As she lay down beside him, she wrapped her arms around herself, trying to hold everything together for just a little while longer.
The next morning, Y.N. woke early, fed Jack, and packed their things. As she stood by the door, she turned to Aegon and Daeron, offering a grateful smile.
"Thank you, both of you, for letting us stay over. But I think itâs time we head back to the penthouse. Iâm going to take Jack for a walk in the park first, clear my head before I see Aemond."
Aegon, still lounging lazily in his chair, got up and walked over to her, pulling her into a hug. "Youâre always welcome here, you know that" he said, giving her a wink. "But if you ever come back, I wonât give up my bed again. Weâll just have to share."
Daeron rolled his eyes. "Ignore him and regardless of what happens, weâll still be there for you and Jackâ
Y.N. gave a soft laugh and nodded. "Thanks again, really." She checked the straps in Jackâs pram and then wheeled it towards the door. "Goodbye, and take care."
As she left, the door clicked shut behind her, leaving Aegon and Daeron in the apartment.
Not long after, Daeron furrowed his brow and turned to Aegon. "Oh no, she forgot one of Jackâs toys."
Aegon picked up the small plush from the table, examining it.
"What the hell is this thing?" he muttered, turning the soft rabbit-like toy over in his hands. The ears crinkled when he squeezed them, making an odd sound.
"I donât know," Daeron shrugged. "Right, Iâve gotta head to work. You good?"
"Yeah, yeah," Aegon waved, still scrutinizing the toy as if it held the answers to life. "See you later."
Just as Daeron grabbed his jacket and headed out the door, it swung open againâthis time revealing Aemond, standing in the doorway.
His eye narrowed when he saw Jackâs toy in Aegonâs hand.
Aegon tried to hide it behind his back, but it was too late.
"Where did you get that?" Aemond asked, his voice tight.
Aegon stuttered, "Well, you seeâ"
"Was Y.N. and Jack here?" Aemond cut him off, his tone dark.
Aegon sighed. "Yeah, they were, but they left a little while ago. She didnât know where else to go."
Aemond's expression turned furious. "When I rang you last night and asked if you'd seen her, and you said noâwas she here?"
Aegon swallowed, glancing at the floor. "Yes, she was here. She slept in my bedâ"
That was all Aemond needed to hear. Without warning, he punched Aegon in the face.
Aegon stumbled backward, landing hard on the floor, clutching his nose as blood began to flow.
"Did you fuck her?" Aemond bellowed, his voice full of rage.
Aegon groaned, sitting up slowly, blood dripping between his fingers. "No! I stayed on the sofa, you fucking arsehole-"
Aemond began pacing around the apartment, his hands running through his hair in frustration.
Aegon stood up, wincing as he gingerly touched his nose. He grabbed a nearby towel, pressing it to his face.
"You have no right to be angry," Aegon spat. "Youâre the one whoâs been hanging around with your bitch of an ex."
Aemond stopped pacing, his face tightening. "I was just trying to make up for what I did. But it was a mistakeâa massive one. Alys-she tried to kiss me."
Aegonâs expression hardened, and without a second thought, he punched Aemond in the mouth.
Aemond stumbled back, stunned, as blood began to trickle from his lip.
"You moron," Aegon growled. "What the fuck were you thinking?"
Aemond wiped the blood from his mouth, still in shock from Aegonâs punch. "She tried to kiss me, and I pushed her away. I didnât let it happen."
Aegon shook his head, disappointment clear on his face as he went to the freezer to grab some ice.
"Youâre such an idiot. Iâve been telling you for years what sheâs like"
Aemond stood there, blood staining his lips. "I know," he said quietly. "I know now that it was all a manipulation. She didnât need my help with her business. She justâ"
"âwanted to get back into your pants," Aegon finished for him. He shook his head, pressing the towel full of ice cubes against his bruised nose. "You only lost one eye, brother. How could you be so blind?"
Aemondâs shoulders slumped as he sat down heavily on the edge of the couch. "Iâm an idiot ok" he admitted, voice hoarse. "I let her in when I shouldâve known better."
"Youâre damn right youâre an idiot," Aegon said with a bitter laugh. "You let that old bint back into your life when we all tried to warn you. And now, youâve potentially lost the best thing thatâs ever happened to you all because of your own stupidity."
Aemond closed his eye, running his hands through his hair again. He knew Aegon was right. And now, he didnât know how to fix it.
As Aemond sat on the couch, staring down at the toy he had snatched from Aegonâs hand, a heavy silence settled between them.
Aegon, still pressing the towel full of ice to his swollen nose, finally broke the quiet.
"You know, Iâm jealous of you," Aegon muttered, his voice low but steady.
Aemond frowned and looked up. "Jealous? Of me? Why?"
Aegon let out a tired chuckle. "Because of Y.N."
Aemond's expression darkened, and his jaw clenched. "What are you saying?"
Aegon raised his free hand, waving off his brotherâs suspicions. "No-Iâm not into her like that. It's the way she loves you, Aemond." He looked away for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "The way she looks at you-itâs something else. Iâd give anything for a woman to look at me the way she looks at you. Thereâs thisâ" He struggled to find the right words, "âdevotion in her eyes. And she brings out the best in you, even if youâre too blind to see it."
Aemondâs face softened slightly, and he allowed a faint smile to tug at his lips. "Maybe if you stopped chasing unavailable women, you'd find someone like that."
Aegon huffed a laugh. "Yeah, maybe. I was actually trying to get with someone last night, if you must know. But then Y.N. came over and interrupted." He shrugged, the corners of his mouth lifting in amusement.
"And you helped her instead," Aemond remarked, his tone shifting to something more serious.
"Of course I did," Aegon said, looking at his brother with a surprising sincerity. "I like herâno, not in that way. But I wanted to make sure both her and Jack were safeâ.
Aemond sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Thank you, Aegon."
Aegon nodded, leaning back against the counter. "Youâre welcome. But I donât care what you have to do. You better make it up to her. Sheâs good for you, Aemond. You two belong together. Donât be the fool who throws it all away."
Aemond stood, taking a deep breath. "Youâre right. I need to fix this." He paused, glancing at the door.
"Yeah," Aegon replied, standing straighter. "She mentioned she was taking Jack for a walk in the park and then heading back to the penthouseâ.
Aemond started towards the door, but Aegon called out to him. "Hey, one more thing."
Aemond stopped and turned, raising an eyebrow. "What?"
Aegon smirked, his usual playful self returning. "You should ask her to marry you."
Aemond froze for a moment, considering the weight of Aegonâs words.
Slowly, he nodded, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "Maybe I will."
Aegon grinned, his smirk widening into a mischievous grin. "Because then sheâd definitely shag me."
Aemond took a deep breath before he charged at his brother. Aegon dodged out of the way, laughing loudly as Aemond began chasing him around the table.
"You littleâ!" Aemond shouted, but despite his frustration, there was a smile creeping onto his face as Aegon kept laughing, the tension between the brothers momentarily broken by their banter.
"Too slow!" Aegon called out, still running, a cheeky grin plastered on his face.
For just a moment, the heaviness that had hung over them lifted, and despite the mess Aemond needed to fix, he felt a flicker of hope. He wasnât going to let Y.N. slip awayâno matter what it took.
Aemond wandered through the quiet streets, his mind racing. He desperately wanted to see Y.N. and Jack, to hold them both close and promise he would never let his stupidity come between them again.
But he knew he had to give her timeâto get back to the penthouse, to settle Jack, and most of all, to calm down. As much as he wanted to rush to her side, he knew that right now, patience was key.
She was the love of his life, and the thought that he might have jeopardized everything made his chest tighten.
How had he let it get this far? It was easy to blame Alys, to paint her as the villain in his mind, but deep down, Aemond knew the truthâit was his own fault.
His misguided sense of duty, his foolish belief that he could make up for his past mistakes by helping her, had led him down this path. He should have left the past buried.
As soon as Alys had reached out, he should have told her to get lost. Instead, he had let her manipulate him, and now Y.N. and Jack were suffering the consequences.
He clenched his jaw, his hands balling into fists as he walked. Alysâs motives were clear from the beginning, and he cursed himself for not seeing them.
But the damage had been done. Now, all he could do was hopeâpray, evenâthat Y.N. would give him the chance to make things right.
He loved her, more than he had ever loved anyone, and the thought of losing her, of losing their life together, sent a sharp pain through his chest.
As he rounded a corner, his steps slowed when he came to a stop in front of a jewellery shop. His eye caught on the glittering rings displayed in the window, and for a moment, he allowed himself to close his eye and imagine.
He pictured Y.N. in a beautiful wedding dress, walking towards him with that radiant smile she always wore when she looked at him. His hand reaching for hers as they exchanged vows, their kiss sealing their promises as they became husband and wife.
But was that future even possible now? Or had he ruined it beyond repair?
Aemond let out a heavy breath, running a hand through his silver hair. He had thought about proposing to her before, but now-was it even right to consider it?
Would she still want a life with him after everything that had happened? After the hurt he had caused?
He wasnât sure, but he knew one thingâhe had to try. He couldnât give up on them, not when he loved her with every fibre of his being.
Aemond stepped into the penthouse, his heart immediately dropping at the sight of a suitcase by the front door. Jack was fast asleep in his pram, his small chest rising and falling peacefully.
Aemond's gaze shifted from his son to Y.N., who sat on the sofa, nervously fiddling with her fingers, her face pale and her eyes distant.
His voice cracked as he asked, "Are you leaving me?"
Y.N. looked up at him, her expression torn. She took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "I think it's for the bestâ.
The words pierced through him like a blade, and Aemond felt his knees weaken. In an instant, he was in front of her, kneeling on the floor with his head resting in her lap, his body shaking with quiet sobs.
 "Please donât leave me," he choked out, his voice thick with desperation. "Iâm so sorry, Y.N. I thought I owed it to Alys, after everything that happened, but I was wrong. I see that now. I made a terrible mistake, and Iâll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Please, please donât go."
Y.N. hesitated, her hands trembling as she slowly stroked his hair. But then, gently, she removed him from her lap and stood up, forcing a shaky breath as she wiped her eyes.
"I need to think, Aemond. I need to figure out whatâs best for me and for Jack."
Aemond rose to his feet, his desperation mounting as he cupped her face in his hands, peppering soft, frantic kisses across her cheeks, her forehead, her lips. "I love you," he whispered, again and again between kisses. "I love you more than anything. Please, justâjust stay. Letâs work this out."
Y.N. closed her eyes, letting her forehead rest against his for a moment as the pain of the situation overwhelmed her.
"I love you too, Aemond," she whispered, her voice heavy with emotion. "But I need space. I need to think about what I really wantâ
Aemondâs breath hitched, but he nodded, knowing he couldnât push her any further. He backed away slightly, his eye red and pained.
He turned to Jack, still peacefully sleeping in his pram, and pressed a tender kiss to his sonâs forehead.
"Be good for your mummy," he whispered softly, brushing a finger over Jackâs tiny hand.
With that, Aemond walked to the door and held it open, his heart breaking with every passing second.
Y.N. pushed the pram through the door and glanced back at him one last time, her suitcase in hand, her eyes filled with sadness and uncertainty.
âGoodbye Aemond-â
As soon as the door clicked shut, Aemond collapsed against it, sliding down to the floor until he was sitting with his back against the wood.
His head fell into his hands as the weight of it all came crashing down. Silent sobs wracked his body.
He had lost them bothâAnd it was his own fault.

hi, could you do a sequel to "Black Hearted: Roronoa Zoro x reader ".
⊠Karma.
⊠roronoa zoro x fem!reader
karma is one son of bitch and she hits hard.
⊠warnings and tags : a little ansgty, some smut; reader is pregnant, five months to be exact. carrying small, sensitive breasts, missionary.
hereâs the sequel to the original <3
the strawhat captain ran excitedly around the new island him and he crew debunked on, looking for food and any new thing he could find; making his reindeer doctor and sniper follow after him. the rest of the crew also went their own way, exploring the island and going to the stores it inhabited.
sanji, nami and zoro walked along the chocolate bricked walk way, taking a look at the shops and markets that was along their path; hardly talking to one another. after y/n left the crew, there was a lot of tense between the three. sanji and nami got into arguments and zoro hardly acknowledged the cook. he was the reason she left the crew, forcing the love of his life away; along with his unborn child.
he always thought about her, wondering if she kept the baby and how did she look. itâs been a few months and his mind never stopped thinking about her. he hated sanji for what he did, he kept to himself ever since and if he didnât; sanji wouldâve been chopped into two by now.
as for nami, she was just as guilty as sanji. she had been cheating with sanji from the start. she didnât care that he was with y/n, she wanted him for herself. but, sanji wouldnât break up with her; claiming that he loved her. so, she took matters into her own hands. why do you think sanji went looking for them in the woods that day? she told him to and now she thought things would finally go her way.
however, when y/n left, a piece of his heart broke off. he wasnât ready for anything at the moment, he had hoped the crew would find her and bring her back. so, he could apologize and make things rightâand to be with her once more.
nami, tired of the tension between themâtried to make conversation, but zoro had already disappeared from the group. she looked over at sanji and an idea popped in her mind. she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the direction of a clothing store.
zoro couldnât stand to be near those two for longer than a minute, he needed to destress. he walked down the marketplace; ignoring the stand vendors as they tried to sell him things. he continued to look straight and thatâs when she caught his eye. her hair blowing in the wind, the yellow sundress blowing and he could see the small baby bump underneath. it was her, it was no doubt about it.
he bumped past random strangers, pissing them off as he made them drop their things, but he didnât care; he saw her. he wasnât going to let her disappear again, so he ran up to her; catching her by surprise. and before she could protest or run, he grabbed her; dipping off into a nearby alleyway.
he had found you.
âwhat are you doing hereââ before he could even let you continue with your questions, he kissed you. melting right on his pink lips, your plumper ones soft like always. he held onto the middle of your back, deepening the kiss & dominating you with ease. you quickly pulled away, tears brimming your eyes.
âwhy are you guys here. i donât want to come backâ you spoke, hand on your pregnant belly, sniffling while your salty tears streamed down your brown face. he ignored your question and pulled you close to him again, he wasnât going to lose you again; his heart couldnât take it.
âyou didnât just leave your life behind, you left me y/n. i love you, i canât lose you again. fuck sanji and fuck nami. please just come back, for me and this babyâ his tan hand sat on your bump and almost like the unborn baby understood who that was, it kicked. you wanted to say no again, to run away once more, but the man you loved so much was right in front of you and no matter how stubborn you wanted to be; your heart wouldnât let you.
âbut if i come back, there would be tension. heâs still there, he called me a slut zo,â his eyes widened and he clutched the hilt of his sword. he was going to hurt that blonde cook, as soon as he laid eyes on him. he walked away and you grabbed his arm, staling him.
âdonât do anything stupid, donât bother hurting him either. his karmaâs going to hit him, hardâ your doe brown eyes searched his, pleading with him to not hurt your ex. not for his well being, sanji didnât deserve shit else from you, but for the crewâs and zoroâsâthis would divide them truly. he nodded and held your smaller hand in his, leading the way as you searched for him.
as the two of you searched and caught up with one another, it felt like the old times; before you two got caught. you told him that you were a teacher on this island, teaching the kids about the truths of this world. you told him you had few run-ins with some pirates, but you handled them with ease.
âim about five months now. its a girl, one of the doctors on this island examined me. very healthy, and it looks like she has my noseâ you cooed, gripping his hand with a smile plastered on your face. he smiled brightly and he stopped walking and picked you up, spinning you aroundâand holding you tight. a girl. he was having a baby with you, a little you and a little him.
just as he put you down for a kiss, the two of you picked up the lewd sounds of moaning. you shared a look with him and the two of you tip toed into the alley way of the coconut keys clothing store, and thatâs where you seen sanji with his pants at his ankles, fucking nami from the back. zoro cringed in disgust and held your hand a little tighter.
you cleared your throat, startling the two; making them pull themselves together. you turned away as you felt sanjiâs blue eyes piercing your body. he stood there in shock, you were here. glowing, body looking good and he could see that your belly was round. you were pregnant, was it his?
ây/nâŚyou lookâwow. um, is it mine?â he asked, scratching his head, chucking slightly. you turned to look at him, searching his face before laughing. he couldnât possibly be serious.
âdonât ever flatter yourself like that. we had sex twice, and we used a condom. did fucking nami make you forget or are you really just an idiot cook?â zoro couldnât help but snicker at your comment, making sanji turn to him, but before he could say something; nami walked over to you with her arms out.
you held your hand out and moved back, stopping at her attempt to play nice.
âI donât want anything from you. neither of you. i donât want an apology nor an explanation. i thought about it for some time and I canât wait for karma to smack you both, and as much as i want to see you guys in pain right now; i think ill wait for her to beat your asses.â you turned to walk away, zoro on your heels.
âoh and sanji. the next time you call me a slut im going to kick your balls so far your ass, chopperâs going to have a hard time finding it. see you both on the ship!â
you giggled as the swordsman kissed down your collarbone, the two of you snuck back onto the ship before the rest of the strawhats joined; reminiscing about your time spent with the crew. during the little encounter with your former crew members, you realized something.
âwait wait, i need to tell you somethingâ you moved slightly, looking the love of your life in his face. you scanned his face and held onto the banister, preparing yourself for what you had to say.
âim not coming back to the ship and before you try to convince me to stay, i need you to hear me out.â he clinched his jaw and he nodded his head. you sighed and continued.
âI love the crew and i loved the time i did have before everything blew up in my face, but i canât raise a baby in that environment. yeah many pirates have done it, but im different. i donât want to get in the way of the journey. ill stay here and raise our little girl, and maybeâi dont know when, but ill join back.â you paused once more, wiping away the tears that left your eyes.
âi love you so much, but i gotta let you go for now. make us proud okay?â you pushed yourself closer to his body, locking your arms around his neck. his one eyes watered a bit and you kissed underneath it. he looked down at your trembling plump lips and pressed his against them. you let his tongue enter your mouth with ease and he grabbed your legs, whisking you away.
your swollen boobs sat perky and sore, after zoro stripped off your yellow dress. your nipples hard and ready for him, which he noticed and put them in his mouth. your threw your head back and moaned, clutching the deep green sheets underneath you while he made love to your sensitive tits.
he was so gently, yet aggressive at the same time while he sucked your buds; groaning and massaging your mounds with both hands. âfuck! gâna cum~â and just as those words left your pretty little mouth, you did; right on your panties. you had missed him dearly and your sensitive nipples just showed him how much you did.
he pulled away, with a spit trail following, and tugged on the hem of your gray panties. he swiftly pulled them down, tossing them to the other side of his roomâbefore looking at you in all your beautiful glory. from your glowing face, to your beautiful breasts, down to your small yet visible bump; to your slick coated cunt.
âso pretty, mama~â he pulled his green boxers down, his fat cock hitting your clit in the process. you whimpered and gasped when he pushed his way through your tight little hole.
âthis wonât hurt the baby?â you giggled and shook your head, gripping this wrists when he pushed himself in deeper. your toes curled and your eyes rolled back in your head, âyou came again didnât you? always so wet and tightâshitâ
his strokes were slow yet mind fucking, he was so good to you. moans and groans flowed freely out of your mouths and as the air became thick with the smell of sex, he moved fasterâhitting your spot repeatedly. your cunt made such sexy noises while he pounded it, squelching and creaming around his dick. his dick twitched and throbbed inside of you, he leaned down and made out with you; deepening his position.
in sync with one another, the two of you came; hard. he panted your walls white while you milked and squeezed him; pushing his load out at the same time. he rolled off of you and held you close, the sound of your synchronized breathing filled the room.
âif you werenât pregnant now, that wouldâve definitely gotten you pregnantâ you giggled and reality hit you all at once. you got up from your spot and pulled your dress over your head, getting up from his bed and slipping on your shoes.
âi love you so very muchâŚ.until next time my loveâ
despite being pregnant, you moved fast and disappeared onto the island; leaving roronoa zoro alone once again.

More Judd smut yay (,:
Tags: fem! Reader, porn with a little plot?, what the fuck is hormone monster dialogue, everyone is horny fr, Nick and Andrew are creeps, but also scared of Judd, and very curious, questionable babysitting?, smoking, participating in the act of âgetting stonedâ, smoking inside, use of the word simp un-ironically, Judd gives super useless dating advice, not so safe sex, please use protection! please do not read if youâre uncomfortable with smut(,:
Summary: you and Judd are the designated babysitters for the night.
Read my OG Judd story? Here
Authorâs note: hi gang (,: I remember when I was like âmental illness funny hahaâ but itâs really not funny anymore 𼚠I know I disappear all the time,, and I donât even wanna apologize this time lol. But anyways, this has been brewing in my docs for like MONTHS and now Iâve come back, humbly offering you another Judd smut since the other one is surprisingly popular. Eat well, my children
The one where Judd gives dating advice
4,4K words
(Note, Judd is so cute and I love him :,)
âI donât care about those horny little shits, Iâm just saying theyâre old enough to fuck off and do whatever they want. I donât want my pissstain of a brother hanging around you, your sister is also fucking weirdââÂ
You gently elbowed him. ââYouâre fucking weird, Judd. And the kids arenât really that bad, youâre a bit dramatic, babe,â you said, and he angrily grumbled something in response as he slammed the microwave shut. The microwave made a noise, and you watched the third batch of popcorn slowly expand and start to pop.Â
Unfortunately for Judd, your parents had collectively decided to go out the day you had promised him a date. Mr and Mrs Birch got a coupon for a recently opened Thai restaurant and decided to invite yours, Missyâs and Andrewâs parents out for dinner, making you the designated babysitter of the night. Leah had ditched the whole ordeal, and Judd was planning to ditch as well until you sent him a picture of your tits and told him he could still come over if he behaved.Â
With Maury clouding his judgement, there was no fucking way he could say no to that.Â
So now, he was stuck making popcorn for a bunch of middle schoolers. Not to mention he had a pretty bad track record with the kids, they were all absolutely terrified of him. Except of course Jessie, who was deeply in love with him. He grunted in annoyance, turning around to face you with his arms crossed over his chest.Â
He had been muttering complaints under his breath ever since you started setting up for the movie. He was absolutely livid that the kids stole away his one-on-one private time with his girlfriend, but for you (and your boobs) he tried to somewhat restrain himself.Â
âJudd, baby, look at me,â you stepped out in front of him, reaching up and gently rubbing his cheek, forcing his attention on you. âI know this is not ideal. But, if you play nice, I have a little something for you when the kids go to bed,â you purred, leaning up to kiss his cheek.
He grabbed your waist, kneading the soft flesh in his big hands. Even though he looked intimidating as all hell, not to mention he absolutely towered over you, he was wrapped around your pinky finger.Â
He leaned down and buried his face in your neck. âIt better be good, slut..â he grunted, brushing his lips over your neck. You slapped the back of his head, feeling him frown against your skin. âI said behave, bitch-boy.â Your tone was sharp, and he knew not to push you any further.Â
âFine, alright. Whatever.â He grumbled, hugging you closer to his body.Â
-
It was precisely 7âoclock when the kids arrived. Jessie was still in her room, not wanting to hang out with you and Judd alone; she had refused to come out after your parents left.Â
Surprisingly, Judd was the first at the door. He grinned evilly. âWelcome to purgatory, you little shits.â He said, looking down at the 8th graders menacingly. âBitch! Your sister's dumb friends are here!â He called over his shoulder.Â
You huffed audibly. âAre you gonna let them in or what, numbnuts?â You called back to him, pouring the last packet of popcorn into a bowl.Â
He frowned and stepped aside, letting the now pretty frightened kids inside. Missy walked in first, smiling nervously at Judd, then came Andrew and Nick.Â
Nick was about to step inside, when Judd put a hand on his shoulder. The younger boy stopped dead in his tracks, praying to whatever god he could think of that his brother would let him off easy. âI didnât do anything! Judd, I swear, please let me go!â He shouted, voice breaking multiple times.
A ghost of a smirk crossed Juddâs face. âDonât try shit, or I will rip your tiny dick off and force it down your throat. Got it, asslicker?âÂ
Nick swallowed thickly, frantically nodding his head. Of course Judd had picked up on his brother's crush on you, as if it wasnât the most obvious thing in the world.Â
âY-You got it, Judd!â He confirmed, panicked chuckles escaping him.Â
âJudd. Let him inside.â You stomped up to them, looking so livid you scared Judd back into being nice as you crossed your arms over your chest. Nick looked away quickly, a pink flush covering his face and neck.Â
Judd pushed Nick inside with a frown, once again not being able to refuse you. The kids looked on in bewilderment as the intimidating teen seemed to slightly cower under your glare, complying to your will. He looked down at them with something akin to shame, before following after you like a lost puppy.
The kids were in complete shock. Had Judd been fucking possesed?
You called out to Jessie, telling her to come out of her room, before dragging Judd back into the kitchen.Â
-
âY/nnn! Can you start the movie already?â Jessie whined loudly.
A bit of shuffling could be heard in the kitchen. âI-In a minute! Weâre just fixing some drinks!â You called out, voice slightly shaky.
â.. do you really think theyâre getting drinks?â Missy asked, after an agonising minute of silence. The kids sat stiffly on the couch.Â
You had told them to make themselves at home, but none of them were able to really calm down with Judd in the house.Â
Jessie scoffed. âDoes it sound like theyâre getting drinks? My sister's kind of a slut if you havenât noticed.â She spat.Â
Nick rolled his eyes. âSo is Judd.âÂ
The two of them werenât able to get over their jealousy of your relationship, somehow not yet registering that they didnât stand a chance with high schoolers.Â
âCome on guys, thatâs not a very nice thing to say,â Missy said nervously, glancing at the kitchen door.Â
âJessie, do you think itâs possible I can get a glass of milk? I feel very dehydrated right now,â Andrew muttered, wringing his hands.Â
Jessie sighed and Nick immediately began explaining in detail how Judd would murder him. But ultimately, after a long and intense discussion, the kids decided to venture into the kitchen.
-
âYou promised to be nice,â You said over your shoulder, holding Juddâs hand as you pulled him to the kitchen.Â
âI am nice.â He huffed, letting go of your hand and instead reaching out to grab your waist. He gently lifted you, setting you down on the counter top before stepping in between your legs. For a moment you thought he would lead it somewhere, but your face morphed into a gentle smile when he buried his face in your neck, hands gently rubbing up and down your sides.Â
You softly stroked his hair, making the angry agent of chaos visibly relax as he melted into your touch. âYou didnât even last ten seconds,â You muttered, immediately recognizing his actions as jealousy.
He breathed out against your neck, and you couldnât help but softly laugh at the tingly feeling. âIt was nice enough for me to make the popcorn, do you want me to fucking hand feed them too?â He grumbled, straightening up so he could glare down at you.Â
You rolled your eyes. âCalm down there, Mr. grumpy-pants. All I ask is that you remain civil for the night, or at least until the movieâs over,â You gave him your very best puppy dog eyes, reaching up to gently brush your hands over his jaw again. Reluctantly, he leaned into your touch, fighting to keep his angry glare.Â
Even if he wanted to, he couldnât deny how absolutely soft he was for you. Your touch calmed him like no other, not even horror movies or tormenting the neighbourhood made him feel as gleeful as when you touched him.Â
He hummed in response, not really registering what you said, too focused on your touch. His own hands travelled from your waist to your thighs, gently squeezing. You let out a soft little sigh and instantly Maury appeared.Â
âWhat? Whatâd I miss? Youâre gonna fuck?â The hormone monster asked, observing the situation. âOooh! You should totally have a quickie, letâs see how many fingers you can stuff in her before the kids find out!â He grinned, shaking Judd by the shoulders.
âShut the fuck up.â Judd growled, making Maury let out a series of horse laughs. âOh ho ho ho! At least get a good feel of her boob, we need something to get through the movie!â He said dramatically, before patting Juddâs head and walking off in search of new entertainment.Â
Judd thought about it for a moment, before slowly sliding his right hand up your tummy until he could palm one of your tits.Â
âJudd,â You said, placing your hand over the one he had on your chest, but not removing it. âYou gotta behave, alright? Just for tonight. And you can touch aaall you want after, I promise,â You said, finishing the sentence with a long kiss to his cheek.Â
âFuck. Okay, fine.â He relented, removing his hand from your boob and intertwining his fingers with yours instead. He leaned in, pressing a series of wet kisses to your jaw and neck.Â
You hummed happily, half closing your eyes until you caught movement somewhere over Juddâs shoulders. You immediately straightened up, opening your eyes fully only to make eye contact with four completely stupefied middle schoolers.Â
The kids were too stunned to speak, literally.
Andrew was stammering incoherently, Nick seemed to find the ceiling very interesting, Missy and Jessi had both turned completely red in face but for very different reasons.Â
âOh. Hello,â You said awkwardly, pushing Judd away and jumping off the counter quickly.Â
Your boyfriend in question let out a disappointed grunt, murderously glaring down the kids but keeping quiet. You all stood in complete silence for a few, agonisingly long seconds, until Andrew finally spoke up.
Still wringing his hands, the preteen stepped slightly closer to you. âY/n, Iâm very sorry to interrupt. But could I maybe get a glass of milk? It would really help with my nervous stomachââ You cut him off before he could go into further detail about his digestive system and smiled warmly at him.Â
ââOf course. Why donât you follow Judd back into the living room, heâll start the movie for you and then Iâll be right out. Okay?â  Â
If looks could kill, youâd be six feet under.Â
Judd bore holes through your back with his eyes, as you turned to open the fridge. âO-okay! Once again, thank you Y/n,â Andrew said, seemingly relieved.
Slowly the kids turned to walk out the kitchen, drizzling out one after the other. Jessi bore a somewhat mischievous smile, walking a bit slower on purpose in hopes she could walk next to Judd. Your boyfriend sighed heavily, uncrossing his arms and following after the kids. He was slowly coming to realise that he had no other choice, than to be a slave for a gang of middle schoolers.Â
The kids were again stiffly seated on the couch, this time with Judd sitting in the far end. Jessie had glued herself to his side, shamelessly sitting as close to him as possible. He was sure he would accidentally hit her if he moved his arm just the slightest.
He was holding the remote, quickly flicking through movies on netflix as the kids fought over what to watch.Â
âShut the fuck up.â He barked. âIâll find you a good movie,â And by âgood movie'' he meant the absolutely goriest horror flick netflix had to offer.Â
Judd grinned sinisterly as he chose a movie, looking over to see the kids all sporting comically shocked expressions.Â
Andrew carefully glanced at Judd. âExcuse me, Judd, but are you sure this movie is suitable for children?â He asked.Â
âY-yeah. Doesnât that say you have to be sixteen..? My mom said I shouldnât watch scary movies until I feel ready,â Missy added.
Nick didnât say anything. He was scared enough of his brother already to disagree openly with him, and he also didnât want to seem like a wimp in front of Jessi.Â
âItâs about time you little pussies grow up. Be quiet and just watch the fucking movie,â Judd said, as mischievously as his monotone voice would allow him to sound.Â
Jessi nodded gravely. âYeah, guys. Shut up. Itâs just a movie,â She said, looking up at Judd with big eyes for approval. He only grunted, pressing start on the remote.Â
Within the first few minutes, Andrew and Nick were clinging to each other. Missy was curled in on herself, watching the movie through her spread fingers. Judd grinned evilly, satisfied with his choice as he started digging through his pockets.
He was quick to dig up a lighter and half a blunt. A bloody jumpscare in the movie made Jessi jerk and grab onto Juddâs arm, slightly shaking. He sighed deeply, annoyed, but let it slide. He lit the blunt, throwing his feet up on the coffee table and tilting his head back as he inhaled deeply.Â
âJudd, I told you not to smoke inside,â You grumbled, returning to the living room with drinks and even more popcorn. Judd raised his head slightly, cocking an eyebrow at you. âShut up,â He simply said, gesturing to the way Jessi was clinging to him.Â
You had to stifle a laugh, quickly setting the snacks on the coffee table and handing the milk to Andrew, who reached out to take it with a shaky hand, refusing to look at the tv.
Upon noticing the lack of space on the couch, Judd beckoned you to his lap. You happily sat down, Jessi giving you a disturbed look as your body gently pushed hers away.Â
âWhat the hell are we even watching?â You asked, Judd shrugged. âDunno. Summer camp massacre something,â He said, handing you the blunt as you got comfortable on his lap.Â
You took a long drag, nuzzling into Judd as his hands came down to hold your waist, pulling you closer to him. âGuys,â Missy suddenly whispered, eyes glued to you and Judd. âIs that.. Marijuana.. As in drugs?â
Judd chuckled, you could feel him move beneath you as you struggled to keep from laughing yourself.Â
You said the only appropriate answer you could scrape from your brain; âWell.. Yeah.âÂ
Missyâs eyes grew to sorcerers. âYou canât do that! Marijuana is a gateway drug! It could mess up your brain- Oh fudge! It could mess up my brain from inhaling secondhand!âÂ
This time you couldnât conceal your giggle, handing the blunt back to Judd as you leaned forward. You smiled softly at the younger. âDonât worry about it, Missy. Youâre way too smart to be corrupted by secondhand smoke,â You said. Missy nodded reluctantly, a small smile appearing on her face as she accepted the compliment.
âMom will actually kill you,â Jessi mumbled and you fondly ruffled her hair. âShe wonât if you keep your mouth shut.â You teased, as she scowled at you. Her eyes quickly left yours, to blatantly stare at Judd as he blew clouds of smoke out his nose. He truly looked like an angry dragon, staring at the movie screen with furrowed brows.Â
Jessi went bright red, looking away immediately when Judd turned to meet her gaze. You grinned, ruffling her hair again before relaxing back into your boyfriend. Judd gave another annoyed grumble, but soon relaxed himself.Â
Somehow, the kids managed to be quiet for the duration of the movie as you finished the blunt and most of the snacks.
Jessi fell asleep against you, having ended up clutching your hand for safety (probably from the masked killer on screen). Missy fell asleep against Andrew, the two huddled in a pile. Nick had slid down from the couch, attempting to hide from the movie but ending up sleeping under the coffee table.
By the time credits came on screen, you and Judd were the only ones awake. Pleasantly hazy from the smoke session, you turned your head to smile at him.
âYou were so good. I like nice Judd,â You muttered, leaning up to press a soft, slow kiss to his lips.Â
He immediately deepened the kiss, claiming his price. In a horny daze, his hands migrated to your butt and his tongue invaded your mouth. You sighed, a bit too loudly and let your own hands wander. Over his shoulders, rubbing down his chest and abdomen till eventually they rested just over his belt.Â
The hiss that escaped him as your hands pressed to his crotch, definitely did not go unnoticed and you responded in kind by moving from his lips, messily gliding wet kisses down his jaw and neck. You bit him playfully, but still hard enough to leave indents in his perfectly smooth neck.Â
âOooh, baby!â Right on time, Connie appeared at your side. She purred like a cat, curling around you and Judd on the couch. âWhy donât you hurry and jump right on up on that delicious dick of his? You know he can make you feel reeeeeaaaal good,â She drawled.
Barely acknowledging her, you dumbly nodded in agreement.Â
âHurry, dumpling! Donât got much time before the kiddies wake up,â She urged you, poking Jessi with a long fingernail, and indeed, your sister was starting to stir.Â
You could only let out a frustrated huff. Judd had your hair fisted in one hand and your hip clutched tightly in the other, helping you rut yourself against his growing bulge in long, hazy strokes. He felt good, you felt good, everything felt so, so good and moving away from the heavenly friction could not be more of a bother.Â
You leaned forward a bit, which came with resistance considering his tight grip on your hair, and whined lowly in his ear.Â
Gently, you nosed at his cheek. âJudd.. the kitchen. Câmon,â You breathed.
He retaliated by grinding up into you, much harder than before, allowing you to feel the entirety of his now, very hard, length. You moaned loudly in response.Â
âWe need to.. the kitchenâ theyâre waking up,â It was a difficult task to form the right words, with the increased amount of pleasure, so you scratched his shoulders, gently, to get your point across.Â
Leaning in, he captured your lips in a hard kiss, licking into your mouth with such fervour your head was spinning. He let go, biting down on your bottom lip and dragging it back before pulling away completely.Â
âStupid fucking kids,â He gritted, tongue swiping over his lips, plump from kissing.Â
Heaving, you bit your bottom lip and batted your eyelashes at him in a most sultry display that was sure to make Connie proud. A sinister grin spread across his face, when he got an idea and he let go of your hair in favour of kneading your ass in both his hands.
âIâll fuck you on the table, slut, be grateful.â It was a demand, but you didnât mind because right at that moment, nothing truly sounded more pleasing than getting railed on the dining table in your mothers kitchen.Â
A shudder went through you at the thought, warmth slushing in your belly and still, you grinned coyly at him. âOnly because you were so well behaved. Iâm starting to think you actually like them, Juddy-Wuddy?â You said, motioning to the four kids as you cooed at him.Â
You got him with that one. Watching with glee as his jaw clenched and he sent you a look that could only mean one of two things; he was going to kill you or plow you until you could no longer walk. You highly suspected the latter.
Your boyfriend scoffed. âItâs almost cute how damn smart you think you are, huh? You fucking bitch.â He glowered. He despised when you called him that, one of the many terrible nicknames you had overheard his mom call him, and he always fell right into your trap.Â
Before you could start to respond, he was rising from the couch, hands manoeuvring under your thighs to lift you up with him. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders, legs tighter around his waist to keep his clothed cock pressed up against your core, and nuzzled your face into his neck.Â
His hands were warm on your thighs, so big they almost covered them entirely when he spread his fingers. You latched onto his neck again, engraving lots of little purple marks, just how he liked it.Â
His response came as a strained grunt, as he barreled into the kitchen and dropped you on the corner dining table.Â
The table was cold, you squealed as your thighs dragged along the cool surface and Judd wasted no time, leaning over you and pushing your skirt up to expose your panties.Â
A sinister grin spread across his face when he found your panties were already damp and soaked, his award for being a prime example of a boyfriend this evening.
You bucked your hips, mewling for attention and hoping he would be quick to relieve you of the throbbing between your thighs.Â
He laughed, low and husky as he watched you writhe on the table beneath him. Your lips were swollen and plump, a deep blush covered your cheeks and your hair was messily spread out over the tableâs surface. His dick ached.
âBoi-oi-oi-oing!â Maury was right behind him, a wild smile split his face and he let his tongue hang out, looking more like a rabid dog than a hormone monster.Â
âCâmon! Shove your fist inside her, she obviously wants it!â Maury barked, shaking Judd by the shoulders. The teen shook him off, grumbling a threat as he returned to the task at hand.Â
You heaved in a breath, tongue coming out to wet your lips again. âJudd, I swear to god, do somethingââ You pleaded, desperately.Â
ââ have patience. And shut the fuck up.â Judd grunted, long fingers creeping towards the wet patch on your panties. Then, he pressed down, right in the middle of the wetness where your much neglected clit sat.
Gasping, you reached out to grasp his bicep. He pressed down again, keeping his thump there and swirling it in circles. You gasped and whined his name softly, the wet fabric glided over your most sensitive part so well it was hard to think about keeping quiet.Â
He was quick to silence you with a kiss, however, as his left hand finally, finally, left the wet patch to pull your panties off. You helped him shake them off, too focused with the cool air blowing on your hot core to notice how he crumbled up your panties and stuffed them in his back pocket.Â
You begged for him again, whines disappearing into his open mouth as he kept it slotted over yours.Â
He shushed you, putting his weight on his right hand as he leaned in further between your legs, suddenly stuffing two fingers into you, in one smooth motion. You cried out so loudly and desperately that not even Juddâs wet kisses could conceal it, he gave you another rough thrust of his fingers in retaliation.
Your eyes were half closed, lips forming an âoâ as he pulled away from your mouth to bite at your neck. His fingers reached a depth that your own could not, hitting a softer, mushier spot in your pussy that had you seeing stars each time. He was so rough with his thrusts too, working quickly and effectively to bring you to ecstasy and making the table rattle slightly. You could only pray that the slight scraping on the tiled kitchen floor could not be heard in the living room.
What was much louder, however, were your own loud gasps and breathy moans of your boyfriend's name. The closer you got, the louder your pleas became.Â
Judd bit your neck again, hard enough to turn the skin purple. âI said, be quiet, bitch.â He groaned into your neck, panting slightly as the pace of his hand increased.Â
You tried, but really couldnât. The lewd squelching sound and the rapid stroking of his two fingers against your g-spot had you mewling and bucking against him. And it certainly didnât help, when his thumb pressed down on your clit as well.Â
His slender fingers didnât create much of a stretch, but you knew he was preparing you for his monstrous cock and because his fingers were so deliciously long the waiting time was never disappointing.Â
You could vaguely hear Connie bustling about in the background, shouting her encouragement and coaxing you to tell Judd all sorts of lewd things. You didnât listen, you couldnât when you were so, so close to your breaking point.Â
With your body on fire, liquid pleasure in your veins, your toes curled and you tilted your head to allow Judd better access to the unmarked parts of it. He graciously took the opportunity, returning his grip on your head to position you just how he wanted.
Your thighs clenched around Juddâs arm, lip trembling as your eyes crossed in pleasure. âJudd..!âÂ
And then he was pulling away, you whined desperately in the process, only to be silenced with a large hand slapped across your mouth.Â
âI told you to be quiet, bitch.â He snarled, his voice now so deep and feral it made you shiver. He squeezed your cheeks together, a bit of drool escaped your mouth and smeared on his hand, as he pulled you to a sitting position. âDidnât I?â
Your pussy throbbed, clenching around nothing at both the rough treatment and being so suddenly void of stimulation.Â
With your cheeks squished together, you couldnât respond, so you opted for frantically nodding your head, softly whining out for him. You needed him inside you, and it had to be now.Â
You rutted yourself against the table, slick following you and making a trail on the wooden surface, it felt good, but definitely not as good as Juddâs cock would feel.Â
âPw-pf..a..e.. Pwase!â You begged him, hands wandering towards his belt, feeling him up and unbuckling his belt buckle. You gasped quietly, he was so hard it had to hurt and the feeling of him pressed to your palm made you clench around nothing again. Despite the layers of clothes between you.Â
He moaned, but reached down to gather both wrists in his free hand and pinning them together. âYou think you think you deserve that? After all the fucking noise you made?âÂ
You cried out and nodded. Judd grinned sinisterly. âYouâre so pathetic, you little slut. You know that?âÂ
You wanted to kick him, or at least insult him back but the throbbing in your cunt and the fact that his words only made that throb so much worse, made it quite hard to do so.Â
Then, he leaned in, resting his chin on top of your head and inhaled your hair deeply. âYouâre my little slut.â He grunted and, oh, you could have cum right there.Â
You nuzzled into him, burying your head where his neck became his chest and started leaving small, wet kisses.Â
He didnât let go of either your wrists or mouth, instead he barked one simple order; âOff.â and brought your bound wrists towards his crotch again.Â
You didnât need to be told twice, immediately getting to work and shoving both his pants and underwear as far down as your position would allow you to grab at his dick.Â
Hissing in pleasure, he pulled you closer to him. He was throbbing and warm in your hand, heavy and so swollen the head had almost turned purple, you tried lifting yourself up, tried to get just the tiniest bit of friction.Â
You pumped him slowly, he was sticky with pre-cum already and he dropped his head into your hair again, burying his face into you with a strained groan. He, too, was close to his breaking point.
Letting your wrists and cheeks free, he opted to grab under both your hips, lifting them up to hover above his dick. You let go of him, fingers coming to scratch at the table as he did the remainder of work for you and you fell back on the table.Â
âThis what you want?â He grunted, thrusting experimentally and nudging his cockhead against your swollen little pearl.Â
âYes.. yes, yes! Please, Judd, it hurts, I need it..!â You blabbered, cheeks puffy and face screwed up as you felt your empty pussy ache with anticipation. Only your boyfriend's dick could ease the twang in your lower belly.Â
He inhaled sharply through his nose, face set in stone and brows drawn together as he finally thrusted into you, filling you so completely in that one thrust, that you suddenly felt too full.Â
The bit of pain from the wide stretch you felt melted into white-hot pleasure almost as soon as it appeared and when Judd pressed a bit more into you, his hip bones meeting yours, you came instantly.Â
You cried out, overwhelmed by the sudden and immense pleasure. Judd cursed, rather loudly and tried pressing further into you, holding you flush against him as you clenched uncontrollably around him. You were even tighter now, so tight it almost hurt and so he waited for you to ride out your orgasm, breathing heavily.Â
âShit.. fuck you! Ah!â He nearly whined at the feeling, blunt nails digging into the plush flesh on your hips.Â
Panting, sobbing and sighing, you slowly came down from your orgasm, not at all ready when Judd suddenly started thrusting again. You were already overstimulated, but the wide stretch and feeling of his cock inside felt so heavenly.
You couldnât help the never-ending mantra of his name that escaped you, matching each of his violent thrusts. He wanted you to feel him as deep as possible, you knew, and he made sure of it. Leaning in over you to hit you at a deeper angle, pressing down on your belly as he fucked you to see himself bulging through.Â
âJudd, mâso full,â You slurred, digging your nails into his shoulders, as deep as they would go. He grunted a response, sweat gathering on his dark brows; âYou gotta be quiet, baby.â He was strained as he spoke, teeth clenched and warm breath fanning your face.
Then, he squeezed under your thighs again, sliding you towards the edge of the table. âSpread your legs.â He demanded gravelly, and you easily complied. He pressed himself to you further, barely pulling out after each thrust, but doubling the force in which he thrusted.Â
The table scraped loudly against the floor, you whimpered and tried to quiet yourself, face heating as the room filled with squelching sounds that definitely didnât leave anything to the imagination, should anyone overhear.Â
Already, you started to tighten around him again, your thighs quivered as you did your best to keep them apart. Judd noticed almost immediately, bringing his thumb down upon your puffy clit.Â
âCâmon pretty girl, cum for me again,â He panted and you followed suit, before you could cry out, though, he captured your lips with his own, chest pressed to yours.Â
You sobbed into his mouth as his tongue licked flames into you, clutching him to you. His thrusts became irregular, driving you into the table until he couldnât hold out anymore. He moved to pull out, but you stopped him, keeping him pressed against you. âDonât.. theyâll seeâ in-inside.â You panted into his mouth, and almost immediately felt a slush of warm liquid fill your lower belly.Â
Judd grit his teeth tightly, jaw fully clenching and breath heaving. His green eyes were dark and glazed, he straightened up a little, raising himself on his forearms to look down at you.Â
You were drooling slightly, makeup a bit smudged as you laid out on the table, revelling in the feeling of complete satisfaction and Juddâs cum filling you.
He waited a while to pull out, watching with interest as your tummy swelled ever so slightly from the combining force of his dick and his spend.Â
âYouâre fucking horrible at being quiet,â He eventually stated.
You puffed out your cheeks, sitting up and wrapping your arms around his shoulders. âIt wasnât me who made the table move,â you countered.
Juddâs hands ventured up your back, holding you to him. âYou whine like a bitch in heat,â He countered, monotonously, in the most endearing way he could possibly put it. Because honestly, he loved the sounds you made.Â
Maury clapped him on the back and barked something at him, reminding him that the two of you were indeed not alone and he pulled out of you. You sighed as he slipped out, feeling your combined liquids leak out a bit as well.Â
He was quick to pull his pants and boxers up, turning from you to fetch a roll of paper towels. As he always did, he insisted on cleaning up for you.Â
You had asked him about it once, getting the lame response of; âI like to keep my things clean.âÂ
Fixing your skirt to cover yourself, you found that your panties were nowhere in sight and fixed Judd a look.Â
Your boyfriend shrugged. âThis is your house, just get another pair.â You blew a raspberry at him. âIâm actually gonna run out of underwear because of you.âÂ
He didnât care, it was quite obvious, so you kissed his jaw and jumped from the table, to get yourself a new pair. Judd didnât miss his chance to roughly squeeze your ass as you walked past him.Â
-
Nick awoke to a strange sound. The loudest being the scraping of something on the floor, then he heard you cry, loud and continually as though you were in pain.Â
Immediately he sat up. The room was dark and the tv static, he drowsily looked around, his four friends sleeping soundly on the couch. Andrew moved his foot, coincidentally pinning Nick down with it. Groggily, he sighed and pushed Andrew off him.Â
He swayed a bit as he stood up, rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out of them. His brother and you werenât anywhere to be seen, the spot where you previously was sitting now occupied by Jessi, sleeping in a starfish position.Â
That was when he heard the sound again, the scraping and then the desperate gasping. This time, though, he heard his brotherâs raspy voice as well. What the hell was going on?
âJudd and Y/n are wrestling,â Suddenly his temporary hormone monster, Tyler emerged from the kitchen with a disturbed look.Â
âWhat?â Nick was way too tired to process something like that.Â
âTheyâre rolling around on the table! Like this!â Tyler got on top of the coffee table, and started intimidating something that definitely did not look like wrestling.
Tyler noticed Nickâs confused expression. âYeah! And she keeps crying and saying his nameâ like, like this!â The monster proceeded to do an utmost terrible impression of you calling for Judd and Nick cringed. ââ and then, Judd told her to shut up and called her a slut! I think heâs gonna get her in a chokehold. I wouldnât put my money on Y/n, though, sheâs not even trying to fight him offââ
ââ Yeah, I donât think theyâre wrestling, Tyler.â Nick deadpanned, cutting the deity short. He felt his face grow increasingly red, as your sounds grew. Now, even he could hear you beg Judd for all sorts of lewd things.Â
âOh.â Tyler blinked a couple of times. Nick shivered, he definitely did not need to hear his brother bone his girlfriend (on whom he had a crush) or explain the situation to his hormone monster.Â
The two of them remained in uncomfortable silence for a while, Nick pacing back and forth to clear his head of any inappropriate thoughts that Tyler was coaxing him into, once he had figured out the situation.Â
Eventually, Nick settled on waking Andrew.Â
âAndrew,â He pushed his friend and whispered again. âCâmon, wake up, Andrew,âÂ
The latter mumbled something incoherent, adjusting his glasses in his sleep. Nick groaned and shook him, not relenting. âI never peed in that pool!â Andrew woke up shouting, and Nick tumbled back in surprise.Â
âWhat?â Nick hissed. Andrew looked about wide eyed, seemingly as groggy as Nick. âIâ what?â Andrew repeated. He blinked at his friend slowly, not yet aware of the circumstances.Â
He pulled Andrew from the couch, and put a hand over his mouth. âListen,â He whispered, and watched as his friend's expression turned from annoyed, to confused, to very very startled.Â
âOh my god. Oh my god, oh my god!â Andrew stammered. Nick removed his hand. âIs thatâ are they?â His head snapped from Nick to the kitchen entrance and back again.Â
The shorter nodded once, stiffly. âWhat do weâ do we do anything? We could go back to sleep before Juddâ oh god, what if they find out we heard?â
Nick turned to his panicking friend, determination clear in his eyes. âWe need to go see for ourselves.âÂ
Andrewâs eyes grew impossibly larger, to the size of sorcerers. âWhat? No! No, no, normally I come up with those kinda terrible ideasâ are you okay, Nick?â He put a clammy hand to Nickâs forehead, fauxingly checking his temperature.
Nick clicked his tongue, annoyed, and waved his friendâs hands away. âThink, Andrew! You have a crush on Y/n, I have a crush on Y/n, haven't you imagined her like that a lot of times, anyway? We can just look, really quickly,âÂ
âUuhh, Iâ I donât know,â He stammered, eyes flicking to the kitchen door.Â
Nick sighed. âIâm going to go look.â His statement was final, as he marched off. Andrew wrung his hands, definitely not unaware of his own desire to see what his two designated babysitters were up to, and his legs seemed to follow after Nick all by themselves.Â
The two stopped by the door, neither daring to actually peek inside yet.Â
âJudd, mâso full,âÂ
Both boys stiffened at the sound of your voice, breathy and begging and definitely not how you usually spoke to them.Â
Then, Judd grunted; âYou gotta be quiet, baby.â Followed up by a harsh command of; âSpread your legs.â
Nick swallowed, and Tyler pushed him further towards the door, squealing at him to look. Suddenly, his previous courage had completely disintegrated and he looked at Andrew, panicked.
The other was just as alarmed, sweat beating his forehead as the scraping sounds picked up and they realised the weight of the situation.Â
They stood there for a while, completely perplexed, having been so scared off by your vulgar statements that neither dared to move. Andrew shut his eyes tightly, shifting his weight from foot to foot as he heard Maury in the room as well. He was barking orders at Judd, all of which went completely ignored, and cheering the two of you on.
Then, after what felt like aeons, the noise quieted down and the two preteens listened as you had a quiet conversation. Judd was way less mean, when he talked to you in private, they both noted. Only when you went off to get another pair of briefs, did they realise their mistake. But it was too late for them to move, instead they both stood there with rapidly beating hearts, faces bathed in red with sheepish expressions as you exited the room.Â
You stuck your head out the entrance first, yelling in surprise when you caught sight of the two boys. âOh my god.â You breathed, then realising that they probably heard most of what just went on.
Caught red handed, you couldnât bear to look neither of them in the eyes. You straightened, quickly walking past them and holding your skirt tightly around your bottom.Â
Levelling your voice the best you could, you called to them over your shoulder; âJuddâs in the kitchen, if you need anything,â You squeaked, bounding upstairs to your room before they could properly take in your dishevelled appearance.Â
Nick panicked, now they had to go in the kitchen, or suspicion would surely arise. He grabbed onto Andrewâs sleeve, willing his legs to move and take the final few steps into the kitchen.
Into the dragon's den, where Judd, the dragon resided.Â
âH-hi. Judd.â Nick stammered. Judd had his back to them, raiding the fridge for anything to drink. You had only stocked up on diet sodas.
The older teen acknowledged them with a grunt, not bothering to turn before his drink-mission was complete. The two boys stood awkwardly in the middle of your kitchen, waiting for whatever reign of terror Judd would have prepared for them; but none came.Â
Judd slammed the fridge door shut, and to their total surprise, threw each boy a Diet Coke. âNeed anything else?â He drawled, sauntering to the table and slumping down in a chair. He opened a coke for himself and got comfortable in his chair, downing almost the entire can in one go.Â
Andrew and Nick shared a glance, and simultaneously inched towards the table. The two of them sat down quietly, still waiting for Judd to scare them away.Â
But he was completely out of character, for once, he looked kinda relaxed. Albeit a bit sweaty and tousled, but as calm as Nick had ever seen his older brother. His eyes lingered on Juddâs neck, where he bore a collection of teeth indents, smudges from your lipstick and hickeys.
The three sat in silence for a bit, listening as the light under the cabinets buzzed and eventually Judd got up to fetch another soda.Â
âYou want any more?â He asked the two, and they politely declined. He shrugged and returned to the table with a new can.Â
Nick fiddled with the top of his can, eyes flitting around the room nervously. âJudd. Can I ask you a question?â He dared not look up as he spoke, keeping his eyes planted on the table.
Judd grunted, his way of saying âgo ahead.â
âWhy are you being so nice to us?â The question visibly caught Judd a bit off guard, he stopped drinking for a brief moment, thinking the question over before his stoic exterior returned.Â
âY/n wants me to be nice to you. She likes you small assholes,â He shrugged.Â
Andrew looked at the older bewildered. âY/n told you to be nice to us?â He asked, voice cracking as if he couldnât believe his own ears.Â
Judd frowned. âThatâs what I said, wasnât it?â He snapped.
Andrew swallowed thickly. âY-yeah. Sorry,âÂ
âButâ I mean, why? Sheâs not even here, and, you usually donât listen to anyone,â Nick was unrelenting, now past the point of caring if Judd would beat him up for asking questions.Â
A pregnant pause wove through the room, as Judd thought about the question. He still looked considerably less angry than usual, but his features were set in a frown and his brows drew together and made it look like he was planning something sinister.Â
âI do what she says because I love her.â He said eventually, glaring off into space as he thought his answer over.
Neither of the two boys could believe their ears. The Judd Birch had just declared his love publicly. It must have been the post-nut clarity.Â
When they failed to respond, he continued on; âSometimes you gotta do dumb shit, even if itâs fucking annoying, to keep a girl.â He mumbled, still deep in thought. Had the situation been different, Nick would have found it quite funny to hear Judd talk about such tender things in his gruff voice.Â
Andrew leaned over the table, adjusting his glasses. âIsâ Is that how you get a girlfriend?âÂ
At that, the corners of Juddâs lips moved upwards ever so slightly. He turned fully to them, a wicked look in his eyes. âThatâs how you get laid, numbnuts.âÂ
Then Nick cut in; âBut what after? What if I like this girl, and I really wanna touch her boobs, but I also want to talk to her. I mean just talk. Because sheâs smart, and funny, and really nice,âÂ
Judd dug through his back pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and opened the window on the wall behind him. He stuck one between his lips, and offered the pack up to the boys.Â
âWeâre twelve.â
Judd merely shrugged and lit his own cigarette. âIf you wanna touch her tits, you gotta talk to her first. And donât be a little creep. Charm her and shit,â He explained.Â
Nick deadpanned. âCharm her?â Judd was everything but charming. It would forever remain the greatest mystery to him, how his brother managed to pull any girls at all.Â
Andrew pushed up his glasses. âActually, what Judd is saying is true. You need to make her feel as if you care about herââÂ
ââI do care about her!â Nick protested.Â
Judd flicked a bit of his cigarette off over the window still. âThen itâs easy. Just talk to her, pussy.â He inhaled a long drag. âIf sheâs into small pricks, youâll be just her type.â
The younger pouted. âNot funny, Judd.â
Judd cackled, lowly, sinisterly. âThen, how do you know if a girl likes you?â Andrew asked.Â
âShe lets you touch her tits.âÂ
Nick sighed. âCâmon, Judd! There has to be more to itâ I mean, you have a girlfriend, so you obviously know.â
The eldest grunted and exhaled smoke through his nose. He thought for a bit before replying; âI was at a party, and I saw this girl, Y/n, and she was really fucking hot. Is really fucking hot,â He fixed the two middle schoolers a pointed look. âSo I talked to her, turns out sheâs really fucking sweet too. And when you meet a girl like that, all the rest comes naturally,â He finished his explanation, a bit smug as the two boys looked at him in wonder.Â
âNot to offend, bâbut havenât you dated lots of girls? Howâd you do that?â Andrew asked.Â
Judd put his cigarette out in his, now empty, coke can. âSure I have. You can also just fuck girls, but itâs a lot more fun if you like them,â He said.Â
âHow do I do that, then? Do I have to talk to her too, even if I donât like her?â Andrew was a bit eager now, but Nick had to admit that he was also itching for answers.Â
âNo matter what, you gotta talk to her. Maybe not for long, and if you just wanna fuck, you have to say the right things,â He said, and then quickly added. âBut donât do that. I donât want you two turning into little dicks,âÂ
âThen.. What if youâre already friends with her?â It was a bit of a jump in topic, but Nick had to get answers, and right now was probably the only time he had the opportunity to ask.Â
Judd snorted. âYou want to fuck one of your friends out there?â He cackled, motioning to the living room.Â
Nick turned red very quickly. âNo.âÂ
âFuck, youâre a little simp!â The eldest was finding Nickâs personal troubles a little too funny, and he huffed, glaring at his brother. âBut all the rules still apply. Be charming, talk to her, and donât be a creep.â Judd eventually added, nodding at his brother.Â
âThank you, Judd.â Nick muttered, and he meant it.Â
âYeah, thank you, Judd,â Andrew echoed.Â
Judd grunted. âYeah, whatever. But donât, ever, spy on me and Y/n again. I mean it. Or I will gut both of you like fucking fish.â
Hi, hello,, thank you of making it this far!
Originally, I wanted to label this â16+ do not interact if youâre youngerâ but honestly I ate shit like this tf UP when I was 13 đ idk if I made Judd a little too OOC, sorry big mouth writers âšď¸â I hope you enjoyed, though
Small rant + update; tumblr has been acting up on my phone lately, idk what I did to make it so laggy lately, but I have to post from my computer now ),: ALSO Iâm so mad I keep forgetting that the cursive I make in Google docs doesnât work in tumblr ahhhhHHHH so I had to go over the whole thing again, Iâm pressed
And anyways, Iâve been working on a really big project for a while now, it is literally my baby, and itâs a Loki x reader because I finally watched some marvel movies lol, Iâll wait with posting it till itâs completely done bc rn itâs kinda a mess (and not nearly done) but if anyone would be interested in beta reading the first 5 chapters please donât hesitate reaching out to me!

last forever [7/13]
Summary: Zoro only offered to marry you to keep you out of an arranged marriage with a man much older than you. You agreed with the caveat of ending it via annulment once you received word from your parents regarding the original engagement, despite your growing feelings for your close friend.
Pairing: Zoro x Fem!reader, mentioned Sanami later (like epilogue later so chill)
Warnings: Marriage of Convenience, Fake Marriage, referenced sex (waaaaaay later on), mutual pining, Zoro is bad at feelings but what's new there, eventual romance I promise, mention of past attempted assault (I'll warn in that chapter), creepy older dude later on
Note: I apologize for glossing over and skipping fights and so much of this arc. Writing violence is not my forte, and I'd rather focus on the main relationship. We all know how One Piece goes anyway. I had to go back and refresh myself on some of the details, it's been a while since I read/watched Water Seven and Enies Lobby.
But also, I was SO NERVOUS writing a certain part of this, its NOT my usual style omg. But I needed to write what I did when it popped into my head. Just wait until a bit later, though omg. This stays SFW, I swear.
Taglist:
@misfits1a
[Ch. 1] â [Ch. 2] â [Ch. 3] â [Ch. 4] â [Ch. 5] â [Ch. 6]
When you finally make it to Water Seven, after your run in with the Foxy Pirates and Admiral Aokiji, itâs nice to be somewhere you recognize. Having only been here a few times when your dad had business and he chose to bring you and Elias, it was always your favorite trip to take when your mother would let you tag along.
The only person who knows this at first, apart from Zoro, is Sanji, when you choose to go into the city with him as Zoro watches the ship; Luffy, Nami, and Usopp go to exchange the gold for actually money, and Chopper goes with Robin to find a bookstore. Sanji laughs a bit when you tell him youâve been here a few times, give or take.
âYou may have been a bit sheltered, but you were well traveled!â
Laughing in return, you tighten your arms around Sanji, laying your head on his back as your Yagara ride continues down the water street, watching all the people. Itâs been so long, you forgot how lively this city was.
âMom would always try to make me stay home with her, but Iâd cry and throw a tantrum until she let me go, normally because my brother asked for me to. I was a little spoiled back then by Elias.â
âNothing wrong with that,â Sanji looks over his shoulder to give you a smile, âYou were the baby, thatâs expected.â
âTch, yeah,â scoffing, you donât look up at him, âThe baby no one but my brother really wanted.â
He doesnât say anything, instead just patting one of your hands, which makes you fist his shirt in your grip for a moment before relaxing again. Sanji knows more about your life growing up than most of your crew, only Zoro really having the nearly full story. Even then, youâve kept somethings to yourself, not because they were painful memories, but because they were some of the few good times you remember, they were more precious to you than any other memories.
The two of you quickly find the shopping district and purchase copious amount of local foods, Sanji reeling off different ideas for dishes as he catches sight of Robin, grabbing your hand to drag you along and around a corner he swears to you he saw her go down, but sheâs nowhere to be seen and neither is Chopper.
Your doctor does find you both a few moments later, apologizing on your way back to Merry for losing Robin, but you tell him not to worry, she can take care of herself, sheâll come back later.
When you get back to Merry, the update Zoro gives you feels like a knife in all your hearts.Â
âWhat do you mean Merry is unfixable?!â
âJust what I said,â Zoro doesnât fully look at Sanji, instead making sure youâre all right with the news, though the frown and starting of tears tell him you arenât, âA shipwright came to check and said so.â
You hate the idea of having to give up Merry, whether thatâs what Luffyâs decided yet or not, you arenât sure, even as Nami returns and the situation gets worse with Usopp having been beaten by the Franky family and the two hundred million beri being stolen from him. The money didnât matter, what mattered was Usopp, the rest of your crew going to find him and Luffy but Nami clinging onto you to stay with her, which you do to keep your friend safe.
The rest of the day is a blur, after Usopp is brought back, his fight with Luffy over Merry, and how quickly the rest of you leave to a hotel in the city. Some would probably think itâs strange that youâre holding so tightly to Zoro the whole time, rarely letting go of his arm, but you feel like you need some stability with how things have changed so much in just a day. You all still donât know where Robinâs gone, you plan to go with Sanji and Chopper later the next day to try and find her.
For now, Zoro doesnât mind you holding onto and staying by him. He tries to understand, itâs likely youâre thinking back to your parents, having told him of how theyâd argue regarding you mostly, Elias being your safe haven who would remove you from the situation for safety.
Part of you doesnât want to sleep that night, but Zoro makes you, forcing you to lay down. Really youâre worried youâre going to wake up and everythingâs been a dream, none of your friends will be there, but Zoro, who you fully are coming to believe can read your mind, pokes you in the forehead before sitting by your bed with his back to you.
âJust sleep. Iâll be here in the morning.â
Every part of you believes him, youâve got nothing but trust in Zoro.
+!+
With everything thatâs happened involving Robin, your crew, Galley-La, and the Franky family, youâre surprised youâre even still on your feet as you follow everyone into Enies Lobby. Youâd barely slept the night before and have been awake since early the previous morning, ending up following Sanji to the sea train that was taking Robin from you all. You fight alongside him, Franky, and Usopp, er, Sniper King, to try and reach Robin, only to lose her again in exchange for your own lives.
After the Rocketman train catches up to you and the four of you board it, Nami throws a towel over you since youâre sopping wet from the rain, and you start to draw yourself back from everyone for a few moments. You just need a bit to catch your breath, to keep yourself from crying due to how tired and upset you are. Itâs going to be another sleepless night as you listen to everyone try and plan how youâre all going to attack the government island, you want to rescue Robin as soon as possible, even for the selfish reason of being able to sleep properly. Zoro tries to keep you out of the plan discussion, making you sit down and rest as much as you can, giving you water and sending you the slightest of glares if you try to get up too soon.
âStay there, wife,â heâs quiet while he tells you to stay where you are, trying to keep his slip up of calling you his wife from those who donât and shouldnât know, âRest until we get there. Weâll get Robin back.â
A slight smirk hits your face as you look up at him. âTrust her now?â
Zoro shrugs a bit, leaning on the wall beside you. âI guess. I trust you and Luffy more. But if you donât rest, it doesnât matter who I trust.â
Ah, that makes sense, why heâs trying so hard to make you take a break, other than youâre being up for so long now.
Youâll be useless in the fighting if you arenât as prepared as you can be, if you havenât had any kind of rest and keep worrying over Robin and everyone else. Even when you get there, convince Robin to let you all rescue her, most of your body wants to give up and stop, but you keep going, keep running to save her with everyone else.
You donât really mean to get separated from everyone when you go to find the CP9 members who have keys that could open Robinâs sea prism stone cuffs, but it happens and youâre left defending yourself.
A few Marines get a little too close for comfort, but you cut them down fairly quickly, before going the other way from where you came and laughing to yourself at the same time.
Iâm starting to take after my husband after all.
+!+
Youâve all returned to Water Seven after rescuing Robin from the government, youâve maybe given her numerous hugs since even though its only been a couple of hours, and your unfortunate burial of Merry thatâd left most of you in tears but all of you heartbroken. So much had happened that you had to step away from everyone for a bit, while there were discussions of what to do next although Luffy had once again fallen asleep from overuse of his powers.
Truthfully you wish you could go to sleep, youâve been awake for well over twenty-four hours at this point, it would be nice to curl up in a bed and sleep the next several days. Its times like this that make you really wonder if youâre meant to be a pirate, maybe you should just go home and do what your parents want.
âHey, you okay?â
Then Zoro finds you like always, quietly speaking to keep the others from eavesdropping, though Nami tries, a hand on your shoulder, this time he seems to grip a little tighter than before. You know him well enough at this point, thereâs just the slightest hint of worry on his face as he looks at you, brows furrowed just a bit. Zoro knows you just as well, you step away like this when things start to get to be too much, you just need a few moments to clear your head and breathe, and since youâve had that, you give him a real smile.
âIâm okay.â
âAre you really?â
You nod, Zoro doing the same in return as he knows to believe you, before surprising you by gently taking you face in his hands, as if heâs making absolutely sure that youâre telling the truth.
Having lost track of you while heâd gone on to fight the CP9 members to get Robinâs key, his mind kept wandering to where youâd gotten off to, if you were safe, if you were fighting someone or multiple marines, he really hoped you werenât against a CP9 member. You had to stay safe, no matter what, you and Robin were his biggest concerns at the time. When you randomly ran into him, Sanji, and Usopp, he was surprised by the relief he felt to see you were a little banged up but otherwise perfectly fine. Heâd made you let him carry you on his back the rest of the way, until you got to the ship and were able to safely be on the ground again. Heâd barely let you out of his sight since then.
Zoro doesnât make whatever worry he had about you obvious, only looking like heâs fighting to find something to say while he holds your face and you continue to smile, tilting your head.
âZoro?â
âGlad youâre okay.â
Giggling a bit, you nod before wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug, your exhaustion and the fears and worries youâve had the last few hours finally coming to surface while you hug Zoro, making him do the same lightly, to keep you from embarrassing yourself in front of the others while you cry quietly, though you know they wouldnât care or judge you.
Youâre glad Robin is back, everyone is safe and alive, you all may have lost Merry but youâre coming to terms with it.
But most importantly to you, Zoro is safe, and to him, youâre safety is just as important, even if he barely voices it. The last thing he wants is for you to be harmed, in anyway by anyone.
He'll be especially damned if itâs by his hand so he comforts you the best he can, until youâre calmed down enough to rejoin your crew, staying beside him.
He doesnât make you release his hand as you grip onto it, instead squeezing it back whenever you do so. When you lean into his arm later on, he lays his head against your own, telling you to go ahead and sleep, heâll get you to a bed. You make him promise to stay with you that night, and he does once everyone goes to turn in, not leaving your side for even a second.
Heâll make sure you stay safe.
+!+
Zoro isn't sure how you two ended up away from the rest of the party. Too much alcohol, yes, but his tolerance is higher than a normal person's. He knows better than to wander off like this, but you took him by the wrist and walked away with a new bottle of sake in your hand, convincing him that it would be good to get away from the noise and everyone else.
You don't normally drink as much as he's seen you do today, he wonders if it's the alcohol that's causing you to giggle incessantly and steal glances at him every bit. Not like you had to steal glances, if you two had been talking you'd be looking at him.
But you'd barely said a word apart from when he asked why you were dragging him away from everyone else.
âJust want some quiet time, husband.â
Zoro never stops you from calling him husband, he's not sure why. Your marriage wasn't real, he should stop you from calling him that.
He should, but he never does.
He doesn't now, even as you lean against him and say âmy husbandâ over and over again. It's only the moment you crawl yourself into his lap that he feels the need to stop you, despite knowing you're drunk or at the very least tipsy enough to not know what you're doing.
âGet off.â
He still doesn't push you off, he's not that heartless.
âNoooooâŚâ You whine and start to nuzzle your face in his neck, sighing happily after a moment. âMy husband~â
âAin't actually your husband, you know that.â
âBut you're my husband still.â
âStop it before someone sees.â
You pout, but lift your head up to look at him. Zoro can tell more so now that you're definitely drunk, you're more emotional than he thought you'd be. He always expected you to be a giggly or chatty drunk, not emotional to the point you're pouting but also looking like you might cry.
âYou should...kiss me.â
âWhat.â
You nod, leaning closer and touching your nose to Zoro's, making him glance away from you just the slightest bit from the proximity despite the bit of pink across his cheeks that you can see. This is the closest you've let yourself get to him ever, even the nights you sneak into his bed from nightmares, you've never placed your face so close to his.
âYou didn't kiss meâŚwhen we got married.â
âWe're not actuââ
âI'll kiss you then.â
You close the gap for the quickest of seconds, kissing Zoro so fast it's like it didn't happen. Despite your drunk state your face burns with a blush and you apologize, you're not sure why you did that. Must've been the alcohol controlling you or something, that's your excuse. You're both quiet but neither of you moves for a moment, before you decide to get up only to have Zoro hold you in place by your shoulders. His brows are furrowed and you're not sure what's going on in his mind, before he pulls you back into a proper kiss, none of this tiny peck of the lips thing you'd just done. He kisses you fully and for more than a brief second, it's several seconds before he pulls away, leaving you both breathless and you personally shocked.
Shocked for just a moment before you take his face in your hands and kiss Zoro a third time, which he returns, surprising you when he wraps his arms around your waist and brings you closer to him (how you could even get closer when youâre already on his lap, you donât know). You refuse to let him be the one to end this. You don't want this to end, it needs to continue, even if just for you. Even if all it does is make your feelings for him stronger, even if Zoro later tells you it was a mistake and he still held no romantic feelings for you, despite that fact he's so willingly returning such affection.
Even though, a moment later, Zoro pushes you away gently by your shoulders, neither of you able to breathe properly for a moment, catching your breath as your slowly sobering mind tries to play catch up with what the hell just happened.
You kissed Zoro, and he actually kissed you back. He didn't shove you off or yell at you or anything like that. He accepted it and reciprocated without a single word. You figured he would fight you about this, that he wouldn't accept it so easily.
Is this the progress you've been hoping for?
Once you've both caught your breath, Zoro doesn't even look at you, instead moves just enough that you get the hint and get off his lap finally. It's a few minutes of complete silence between the two of you, that has you confused. You thought things were changing, that you two were getting closer than you had been even before Luffy brought you along.
The fact he'd just kissed you back for several minutes it felt like, you thought maybe Zoro was going to confess to you, but when he still doesn't look at you, you attempt to bring him back by taking his hand, which he lets you for a moment before gently pulling his arm back to himself.
âZoroâŚIâŚI'm sorââ
âI thinkâŚyou should go to bed, [Y/N].â
âDo you,â you gulp a bit, looking away before you finish, âdo you want to come with me?â
âNo. That's not a good idea.â
You know this, who knows what trouble you'd bring to yourselves or the crew if you two went to your room together? Whose heart would be broken the next morning if you took things too far when you weren't fully sober? You didn't know, the thought of either of you being hurt made your heart ache and you couldn't bear the thought.
So, instead of trying to convince him things would be fine, you really just wanted to sleep with him next to you, you nod, standing up and dusting yourself off, grabbing the bottle you'd brought with you and looking at Zoro again.
âAre youââ
âGonna stay here for a bit.â
It's all you can do to nod again, apologizing for pushing things too far before you turn and leave, doing your absolute best to keep your tears to yourself as you return to the party, giving Nami a small smile when she asks where you've been, promising her you'd just gone off to spend some time alone.
She doesn't believe you and intends to get all the information she can later, but she does give you a hug that nearly pushes you over, and says she'll beat up whoever made you sad, especially if it's Zoro, earning her a laugh before you return to your room at the hotel.
I wish he had come with meâŚ
Truthfully you don't regret kissing Zoro, not even a bit. Despite his rejection of your feelings, the fact he so willingly kissed you back made you believe that maybe things were changing in your favor.
Perhaps it was because he was drunk, or maybe he was sober enough that he knew exactly what he was doing, especially when he denied returning to your room with you.
Either way, even with your heart aching from another rejection, it feels like you're making progress with Zoro and your relationship with him, little by little.
For his part of it all, Zoro stays in the same place you'd left him for nearly an hour, trying to calm his own racing heart after that exchange with you.
How he never thought of kissing you before, but now he didn't want to do anything but kiss you (it's the alcohol talking, he swears it is). You tasted like the sake you'd shared and whatever sweet wine Nami had convinced you to take several drinks of. A combination he never expected to be so nice, something he didn't think he'd want to taste again. The moment he thinks about it again his heart skips a beat, and Zoro puts head in his hands in an attempt to stop such feelings.
No, no, shit I gotta stop this.
He sighs and runs his hands through his hair, pulling it slightly to get those thoughts out of his head. Any focus on romance, on you he wanted out of his head. There's been too much of it lately, the want to stay close to you, to pull you away from everyone else, to give in and indulge himself in you alone. He'd told you nothing was going to happen and he had meant it.
But then you had to go and kiss him. The most innocent of kisses, a quick peck on the lips but he'd gone and pulled you back for more almost instantly. Then you made it worse by returning it again and holding his face this time, he didn't know why he enjoyed that so much. This whole thing was ridiculous, there's no reason for these feelings!
The only thing he could do to get some time to think was to push you away, refuse to join you when you went to bed. Who knows what would've happened if he had gone with you? Of course, he knew your thoughts were innocent, you'd shared a bed multiple times when you turned to him after nightmares, it was highly unlikely you were expecting anything more than to just go to sleep and wake up with a hangover, Zoro by your side in case of alcohol induced nightmares.
And he had made you go to bed alone.
That realization, for some reason, causes his heart to ache and Zoro has to finally admit what he's been trying not to, over the last several months, even with the more domestic thoughts he's allowed himself to entertain at times. Something he was hoping would fade away, would disappear over time like it always did for others, the feelings he's finally realized were going to be more long term than he expected.
Damn it allâŚI'm falling for my wife.
+!+
Contrary to what many may think, Sanji doesnât particularly like being privy to romance gossip, not the kind involving his crewmates especially. He thinks that such things should be kept between a couple, so when he accidentally hears you telling Nami and Robin how you and Zoro finally kissed the other night, heâs less than pleased to hear it ended with your swordsman pushing you back, not taking you back to your room, or even staying with you for the night.
How unbelievably rude of him! To steal your first kiss, and not even walk you back to your room!
Thatâs what Sanji wouldâve done. If any woman kissed him, heâd walk her back to her room or home, at the very least, to ensure she was safe and nothing happened. Zoro not doing that, when you were inebriated, when you couldâve been hurt or worse, it angers Sanji more than anything Zoro has or hasnât done thus far. He views you as his best friend, he hates the way you and Zoro seem to get closer to a real relationship, only for something to happen or someone to intervene and ruin your progress. Heâs been cheering for you from the start, ever since you confirmed your feelings for the swordsman, only to now wonder if itâs worth it for you.
If Zoro really is what you want and makes you happy, why does it seem like all you do lately is suffer?
Sanji doesnât fully mean to give Zoro the cold shoulder this time, or even the suspicious looks he throws at him, but Zoro noticed quickly, before anyone else, and confronts him.
âWhat the hell is your problem, cook?â
âNothing.â
âBullshit, youâve been giving me worse looks than normal.â
Sanji bites down on his cigarette, finally dropping the knife heâd been holding to face Zoro with a scowl.
âI heard you and [Y/N] kissed the other nightââ
âDamn it.â
ââand you didnât bother to take her back to her room?â
âWhat, is that my job now?â
âAs her husband it should be!â
âIâm not really her husband! Damn it, this is stupid.â
Zoro goes to leave, but Sanji stops him by grabbing his sleeve, holding on and telling him to stop.
âLook, asshole. I could care less that you two are married, real or not, or that you kissed her,â Sanji grits his teeth, finally letting go of Zoroâs sleeve, âBut if you break her heart, Iâll never forgive you, mosshead.â
While Sanji turns back to continue prepping for dinner, Zoro stops for just a moment. The two have had fights before, thatâs obvious to anyone with a brain, but theyâve yet to fight about you. And he wonders why it's only now, after you kissed him, that Sanji seems so hell bent on protecting you, or maybe he's always been like this, it's just more on display as you and Zoro start to get closer.
âWhatâs your deal with her?â
âSheâs my best friend, mosshead. I just want her safe and happy, even if itâs with you.â
He doesnât say anything in response, leaving the kitchen to find you lounging with Nami and Robin, the three of you in some conversation when you look up and see him, giving a slight smile that Zoro returns with a nod, before heading off to the crowâs nest. What Sanji last said is stuck in his head, partially wondering if you told your cook what happened that night in Water Seven or if he was good at guessing, but thatâs not the biggest thing he wonders about.
Would you really be happy with me, of all people, [Y/N]?
+!+
âAll right, wait, so, you honestly kissed him?â
âNami don't make me repeat myself.â
Nami laughs while Robin smiles, both amazed you got up the courage to kiss Zoro of all people. Yeah, you were tipsy at the time, even though Zoro still believes you were fully intoxicated, but you couldn't help feeling bad about it afterwards, just for a bit.
âI didn't fully think it through. I justâŚI don't know, I wanted to kiss him so I did.â
âI don't think he's too upset about it then,â Robin nods a bit, taking a sip of her wine, âYou said he kissed you back, if he didn't push you away right off the bat, it sounds like he was positively receptive to it.â
âYeah,â Nami quickly agrees, giving you a grin, âSounds like you're getting yourself a boyfriend.â
âI don't think he wants that.â
âWell, what do you want? Maybe you guys could talk it through.â
What did you want? You thought you knew, to be a world renowned swordswoman, to help Luffy become King of the Pirates.
But what did you want from Zoro? Just to be with him, to stay married to him? Do you want to maybe have a family of your own with him one day? You'd had those thoughts when your feelings first started surfacing, after your impromptu wedding at that backwater courthouse. You'd stopped entertaining thoughts for quite a while, but now, they're coming back more often.
More importantly, does Zoro want any of that with you?
âIâŚthink⌠I want to be with him foreverâŚâ
Hearing Nami choke on her own drink, you give her a concerned look before she looks at you with wide eyes.
âYou sound like you're in love with Zoro!â
You don't say anything for a bit, even with Nami and Robin looking at you like they're expecting you to deny such a thing. There was no way you were in love with Zoro, not at all. You two hadn't dated, your marriage was only temporary, it was meant to end as soon as you had something from your parents. You two weren't going to last forever, you weren't going to have kids together, live out your lives as a married couple. It wasn't happening.
No matter how much you may want it to. That's what Nami and Robin have come to think over time, from the things you've said to them.
âI am, Nami.â
Despite Nami's new outburst and saying she knew it with Robin laughing, you don't feel any kind of worry or fear about admitting your real feelings for Zoro. Neither of them would tell, your secret was safe as could be.
But for you, all you do is smile to yourself.
You love Zoro, more than anything. You've thought so for a while now, but finally voicing it aloud gives you a sense of peace and happiness. Whether Zoro ever returns your feelings or not, whether you two come to act as a married couple or not, you're more than happy to even stay by his side as his crewmate and friend. Even if you have to love him silently, you'd do so.
You'll hope he comes to love you back one day, but you won't force anything on him.
âI'm in love with Zoro.â

"Thigh lover"â Dazai Osamu
"Dazai always loved your thighs, especially when they're in thigh highs. Whenever they are, he either goes on town on you or fucks the living daylights out of you, this time though it was neither but also everything of the above."
Tags: sub! Dazai Osamu / afab! Reader, face sitting, pet names, bratty? Dazai, pw/op, oral sex, slightly mean! Reader, edging???, pussydrunk! Dazai, squirting, degrading kink, everything is consented, overstimulation?, thigh fucking, Reader is thicc, he's whiny ong, idrk what I'm doing (again), ooc! Dazai, might contain grammar errors, rushed, short?, etc.
Notes: howdy, tryin' to keep up rn
All because he acted out, once again being bratty and annoying. So what's better than punishment? A punishment, which also could make you feel good. Then the perfect idea came up in your head. In this moment, Dazai's lips were making out with your cunt, while you were enjoying yourself. How is that an punishment, you ask? Well, he's not allowed to touch himself while he's eating you out, if he tries thenâ
"Mphâ", you slightly closed your thighs together so his face would be squished. "I said no touching, did i?", you asked coldly, Dazai was only able to try to continue to eat you out, even though he couldn't since you closed your legs. "Don't make me repeat myself, brat.", you hissed at him pissed, your voice raspy at that, which made it harder to resist. ". . Yes,", he said muffled, you start to slightly smirk again. "Try to be good for once, dear, then maybe you could get what you want.", you stated, releasing Dazai from your grip. He almost immediately started getting back to where he was cut off. You grabbed his hair as he grabbed your thighs, holding onto them. He could tell that you were getting close, since he was good at it. Soon, it washed over you and you gushed onto his face, Dazai could've cum just then and there but he didn't.
As you came down from your first orgasm, Dazai spoke up. "Did I do good?", he asked while looking at you. You looked back at him smirked lightly. "Well, you did, but I don't think you really learned your lesson. .", he pouted at you, and you tried to think of something, because you couldn't stop there. Then another solution popped up. "If you wanna cum so bad, then fuck my thighs, baby.", Dazai's eyes lit up, he was willing to do anything to cum at least once. You got down from his face and sat down on the bed, while Dazai was unbuckling his belt. As you glanced at his boxers, you could see that he was leaking, look at how desperate he is! Parting your thighs a little so he had some space to slide into, he almost instantly slide in and you closed them together. Dazai bit his lip when he started to fuck your thighs, sliding in and out of them, already heavy breathing. "Feels good, doesn't it, slut?", Dazai nodded quickly while he soon to whimper quietly.
Dazai was slowly getting closer to his climax, his whimpers and whines getting louder. You had to admit, looking at him while he's so pathetically desperate had you dripping. But, you still didn't have any plans to have him cum, where's the fun in that? "Pleasepleasepleaseâ", he choked, you could feel him leaking more than before, meaning he was close to cumming, so parted your thighs for him to stop but also lose his orgasm. Dazai whined at this move of yours. "But Iâi thought. . You said I could cum!", he whined, you looked at him rather cold again. "I didn't say it like that, besides, even if I said so I still didn't get an apology, 'Samu.", you corrected him, he was getting really frustrated with this. "Sorry.", he whispered quickly, did he think this was enough? "You can do better than this, can you? If you apologize to me and mean it, you can fuck me, alright? You know what I wanna hear, dear.", Dazai was ready to apologize genuinely just to feel your perfect cunt again, even the thought made his dick twitch.
Dazai looked down while starting off with his apology, starting to almost beg to feel your walls around him. "I'm sâsorry for acting out, I really didn't mean to annoy you. . Please, can you make me cum? I swear I'll be good f'you.", he said with a whiny tone, you smirked at him again and grabbed his chin to make him look at you. "You mean it, baby?", you cooed quite mockingly, he nodded. "Yes, please, need you so bad.", he was lowkey cute like this, so you accepted it, besides, you wanted to feel him inside you now. "Okay, if you really mean it, then I'll forgive you. You have my permission now.", you stated, Dazai's eyes lit up again, excitement visible within his eyes. You spread your legs enough for him, your pussy already wet enough for him to slide in, he could've sworn that he wanted to just cum of the sight. Dazai entered and already came right inside you, you let out a quiet moan of surprise. He already started to thrust now, he wasn't slow but also not rough, just somewhere in between.
It felt so good you could've sworn that you almost wanted to cum at this moment, but you tried to stay dominant. You tried really hard, but Dazai lifted your leg to reach deeper inside, whenever he pulled that trick you were a moaning mess. As his hips slapped against yours, the sound filling your bedroom, you were starting to lose control and started to moan with him. Then you felt your second orgasm near, when it washed over you Dazai came again stopping for a moment. You tried to catch your breath, but Dazai started to thrust again, trying to chase another orgasm. Dazai's face starting to get sweaty, his face flushed and slutty moans and whimpers leaving both of your lips. "Fâfuck, Dazai. . Slow downâ", your pleas fell on deaf ears, he was only able to fuck and pant heavily. Your legs were lifted again, Dazai placed on his hips to reach deeper inside you, which made you almost gush around his cock again. How did he manage to make this sensitive this quick? "Ah! Dâdazai. .", you moaned, trying to calm him down but he was in a trance, he was pussydrunk now.
It was incredible, so much that you were nearing your third, but this one was feeling kind of weird. Dazai kept on thrusting inside you, already reaching to your clit to make you cum faster, which definitely did. When he trusted once more, you felt it coming, intense. "Dâdazai, I'm closeâ" was the last thing you said before you squirted all over him, your juices gushing around him too. Open seeing this, Dazai moaned one last time before cumming inside you, twitching insanely a lot. You were out of breath and so was Dazai, he pulled out and your mixed juices leaked out of your cunt. He laid beside you, you moved over to him and got closer.
"This. . Was something else, 'donna."
This wasn't rlly abt thighs was it?

The BĂŤast Within
author note: Part 5! Ok this is the last part till I'm back in November. Will be gone from October 21st till November 18th. I'm getting married and then going on my honeymoon. So enjoy! I'll be working on other parts while I'm away. :) you can find the rest of the series here.
summary: Omegas are rare, in a world full of Alphas and Betas. Being a Omega was not only dangerous but they were highly sought after. After living your life has a Beta in disguise, you meet a scary Alpha, but not any normal alpha. But a gaint Apex Alpha who won't stop at anything to make you his.
tags: Alternative Universe, female reader. Slight smut. Reader edges KĂśnig into an apology. Slightly submissive KĂśnig (but don't tell him that.) A/b/o dynamics. Alpha KĂśnig is big and scary but not to reader. not proof read
KĂśnig showed his love through acts of kindness and gifts. He felt bad for smashing your phone, and also as you put it "ruined your life". But he knows your just being dramatic, he spent two full days sleeping in one of the spare bedrooms. You didn't leave the master bedroom, only opening the door after KĂśnig pleaded with you to eat something.
That's why he's currently inside a jewelry store, trying to pick out a gift that says I'm very sorry but I also don't regret doing what I did. The sales person becoming annoyed cause he can not make up his mind so decided to buy all 3, a matching set.
The second day barricaded in the room, you spent most of the time crying in your nest and enjoying the deep soaker tub. KĂśnig brought you lunch, and also your new phone.
Discarding the food on the dresser you laid in the nest, setting up your phone. Waiting for the thousands of notifications to pop up.
You immediately called Kalina, you missed her voice and knew she's probably in a panic. The phone only rang once before it was picked up. "Please tell me you're alive." you heard her panicked voice on the other line.
"I'm alive." you replied back. "What the fuck is going on?" she all but screamed your name. "It's a complicated story." you tried to explain but she cut you off. "Are you safe, do you need me to call the police? Maybe the military? Who do I need to kill." she was rambling so fast you could barely make out what she was saying.
"Kalina! Hey Kalina! Calm down will you. I'm fine. I'm alright. I don't need any of that." you were finally able to but in. "I went to your apartment and you were gone, like all of it." she explained. Remembering KĂśnig's actions, rubbing your eyes and pinching the bridge of your nose. "Ugh I know." you didn't know where to start. "It's been a week! A week of no call, no show, no nothing. And Mr. Wojack said you quit? What the hell is going on?" her voice getting higher and higher with each word.
"If you'd shut up I'll explain. It started that night at the club." you started. "We should have never gone." Kalina but in. "Kalina! Please!" you pleaded with her to shut up. "Sorry, sorry!" shaking your head. "Their was a guy there, an Alpha. I guess he sniffed me out, idk how the hell he knew but he followed me home. I woke up to him in my room, and..... and he marked me. That night, and I've been at his place ever since. He helped me through my heat....I think we are mated now." you explained.
The other end was finally quiet, thinking the call dropped until you heard Kalina'a deep sigh." I knew, I knew he would try. I just hoped I got you out of there fast enough." she said, you were confused? She knew? "What do you mean you knew?" you asked. "Don't you remember me pulling you out of the club? Throwing you in that cab?" she asked. It took you a while to thinking back in it, and then I made sense.
She saw him too, just like you did. "You saw him?" you whispered. "It was hard not to." her voice trailing off. You heard a knock on the door, probably KĂśnig again. "Kalina I gotta go. I call you back later." you told her. Hanging up before she could protest. Leaving your phone on the charger near the bed.
Walking to the door you could see KĂśnig's shadow underneath. Another knock came "Omega, please let me see you." he pleaded through the wood. If he really wanted to he could break it down, and he was tempted. Since getting a taste of your omega pussy it's all his dick and brain could think about.
"Why should I? So you can lie to me again." you were being a brat but you deserved it. In less than a week you had your home, job and life taken from you. But you also knew your situation could be much worse.
KĂśnig sighed, he was going to lose his mind if you kept up this act. He had every right mind to knock this door down and make you forgive him. Even when he didn't believe he needed to be forgiven. In the law he had every right to do what he did. Once an omega is claimed she loses all her freedoms and rights. As she now belongs to her Alpha who is responsible in taking care of her. And if he's unfit of that, then the courts step in and interviene. But you were an undocumented Omega and he was a dead excommunicated Alpha.
Slamming his fist against the thick wood, he rolled his neck to try and relieve the tension that's been bothering him. "Please my love, I got you something." in KĂśnig's other hand held the name brand bag of the jeweler he visited.
Unbeknownst to him, you had been scheming. Spending your time locked in this room, snooping around. Taking out his military uniform and laying it out on the bed. Also finding a few medals that where also stashed away in the closet.
"I'll let you in if you answer some of my questions." KĂśnigs ears perked up, what was this? A terrorist negotiation? But the thought of being in your presence, he didn't care. "Whatever you want Omega." his words making you laugh, of course you'll give me what I want, you thought.
KĂśnig heard the door click, you unlocking the bolt that secured it close. Opening it a bit before stepping away to sit on the bed next to your findings.
KĂśnig wasted no time in barging right in, about to open his mouth but closing it immediately when he saw his uniform next to you. "What is this?"he asked. His voice getting deep and low, his instincts heightening. He wasn't an animal you wanted to corner and confront but that's exactly what you did.
"That's my question. And I don't want to hear anything from you that isn't a one word answer or anything that's not the truth. You understand?" you fingers ran along the delicate stitching, tracing it slowly. KĂśnig didn't like any of this.
"If you aren't going to answer me, you can just leave. And take that with you." you pointed to the bag he was holding. He sighed, setting the bag down on the dresser. Leaning against it, he was feared far and wide. The stories men told about him, yet here you are. Standing up to him, and not backing down. The Beast was proud, laughing loudly in KĂśnig's head. Mocking him for not being able to control you. But that's not what he wanted, he didn't want to control you he just wanted to make you happy. And right now you were not and it was his fault.
Slowly you were wearing him down, his dick hard and throbbing in his pants. Begging and pleading with him to do whatever you wanted just so it can feel you wrapped around it again.
"I served in the Austrian Special Forces, but things came up and now I'm here." hoping his answer sated you. He crossed his arms staring at you, dragging his eyes up and down your body. "Why did you leave?" you asked. Curious about the Alpha in front of you, his aura was dark and mysterious. "It no longer served a purpose in my life. I... uh I do different work now. Similar but different. That's all you need to know." KĂśnig was trying his best to answer you but to also keep you safe from his world.
You sighed "KĂśnig you said you'd tell me anything I wanted." you eyed the giant Alpha in front of you. The sight of him alone making you want to heel over and crawl to him. But it was just your horny omega brain. "I am Omega, there's things you wouldn't understand. I'll do anything to keep you safe." KĂśnig was growing more frustrated. Pushing himself off of the dresser and making his way to you. Getting down on his knees and placing his head in your lap.
"I'm trying to keep you safe and protected. Don't you understand." he looked up into your eyes. His eyes pleading with you, his bottom lip sticking out. "Than say your sorry." you told him. Lightly brushing your hand through his hair. You slightly started to part you thighs, revealing a silky pair of panties under the dress you were wearing.
KĂśnigs ears began to ring, his mouth becoming wet with anticipation. If he was a youngling he'd might even start foaming. The smell of your wet Omega pussy hit his nose, a low growl starting deep in his belly. He tried to push your dress up more but was received with a smack. Knocking his prying hands away, he hated when you did that.
Nobody he knew would dare raise a finger at him and since knowing you, that seemed like your favourite thing to do.
"No." you scolded him like a juvenile pup. "Not until you say you are sorry." he heard your words but his mind and eyes couldn't leave the sight of your pussy. The fabric of the silky panties hugged you lips, a small wet spot slowly forming. KĂśnig knew from that moment on you were going to be the death of him.
Only if one of his men could see him, if one of the many people he's snuffed out could look upon him from hell. To see this feared Alpha on his knees, drooling at the sight of sweet omega pussy. They would laugh, they would mock him. Just like The Beast was doing now, his laughter louder than anything.
KĂśnig licked his lips and closed his eyes. Taking a moment to clear his mind, too shut up The Beast and to try and not cum in his pants.
"Omega, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I'll never do anything and I mean anything without your approval." he was a starved man, if you told him to walk into fire he would. "Omega I promise to serve and worship you till the end of mine time." he didn't know what else he could say.
You smiled, your eyes turning bright at the words your Alpha was saying. Your heart skipped a beat and your pussy gushed with more fluid. Pushing up your dress a little and tilting your pelvis till it was in KĂśnig's face.
"I forgive you." you said. You hands tangling themselves in his hair once again. KĂśnig mouth attached its self to your clothed pussy. Sucking on the wet spot, trying to ripping through the material with his teeth.
Trying once again to touch you with his hands but only stopped when you smacked them again. He really hated that. "No, just your mouth. And be a good boy and I'll let you fuck me." you told him. Spreading you legs open even more, resting you left leg over his shoulder.
Yes, you were going to kill him. But he didn't care, as long as he died by your pussy he didn't care at all.

Somebody to Call My Own Lore | Part 2
This was too big to fit in one post so I had to split it into two parts, you can find part 1 by clicking on the AU tag! Please feel free to pop into my askbox if you have any questions about any of my AU's, I'm itching to ramble about them.
Trigger warning for suicide. Also, 77/H Ford's relationship with his brother is mentally & emotionally abusive.
Ford has far more advanced technology than what earth is capable of, taking inspiration from the dimensions he's visited to design a tattoo made of nanobots that allow him to teleport short distances, he still has to use the gun for long distances. But if he can see his destination, he can teleport there using the tattoo. The ink is red and the tattoo is the outline of the Stan o' War.
When Ford comes across dimension 77/H, he is pushed to the breaking point. Stanâs fate is to eventually take his own life after his brother guilt trips/emotionally manipulates him into staying by his side while Weirdmageddon swallows the world. Stan wouldnât even be an official part of Bill's freaks, seen as akin to Fordâs pet by the group (Bill included).
Stan would end up suffocated with survivor's guilt and the worst self-esteem ever seen in a Stan, regarding himself as Fordâs loyal dog instead of a person. His hopelessness and despair wear him down until he is driven to take his own life, Ford wiping their dimension out entirely in his grief. The kicker is that Bill couldâve stopped it but didnât because he wanted Ford all to himself, jealous that Stan got the majority of Fordâs attention and affection while Ford was reserved and cold with Bill. So Bill simply let Stan die, and that was ultimately his downfall.
419â3 Ford stays up for days in order to scour the timeline for a series of events that doesn't end with Stan killing himself, but most paths lead to the same destination while several others are decidedly worse and are immediately discarded. Ford gets more manic as his window to step in without catastrophic consequences to the timeline rapidly closes, his self-inflicted sleep deprivation and desperation pushing him to act rashly.
Stan had received the postcard like in canon, but the difference is that Ford had teamed up with Bill and opened the portal to bring Weirdmageddon onto earth. Ford had planned to have one of the freaks fetch his brother for him once they came through the portal, but the anti-weird barrier surrounding Gravity falls was an unexpected setback. So Ford opts to send his brother a postcard and work on finding a way to break the barrier while waiting for Stan to arrive, Bill doing his best to convince Ford that his brother would only be a distraction.
Ford didn't take kindly to Billâs poor opinion of Stan, proving a point by ignoring his work for several days until Bill reluctantly apologized and agreed to spare Stan from the apocalypse by letting him live in luxury in Gravity Falls with Ford.
419â3 Ford steps in quite literally at the last minute, Stanâs car unknowingly approaching the barrier that separates the rest of the world from Weirdmageddon. Stan, of course, panics and yanks the wheel when a man dressed in all black and wearing a biker helmet darts into the road in order to avoid hitting the stranger. Stanâs car swerves into the ditch, slamming his forehead against the steering wheel when he hits a tree.
Stan is âunderstandablyâ disoriented as the figure pulls him out of the totaled car, Stan's awareness coming in waves. Stan thinks he sees a giant pink woman on fire watching them from the other side of the âWelcome to Gravity Fallsâ sign before the stranger adjusts his grip on Stan and his vision is overtaken by blue as heâs effortlessly hauled into a wormhole that deposits them in 419â3 Fordâs current headquarters in a different dimension.

Close Enough
Summary: When you'd met the Shaws at the morgue the day before, you thought that had been the end of it and you wouldn't need to see one Shaw brother in particular again. Little did you know that Colter was about to once again ask for your help and not only would you be forced to see Russell again but things were about to change drastically for the both of you.
Pairing: Russell Shaw x Female!Reader; Russell Shaw x Female!FBI Special Agent!Reader
A/N: Sequel to So Close. I wanted to follow up and reveal what happened between Russell and the reader in the past but as I was writing it, this idea popped into my head in addition to that and I just had to see where it went. This was the end result lol. Hope it's okay.
Unbeta'd so all mistakes are mine. I still have not seen Tracker (besides 1x12) because I just haven't had the time for a proper binge yet so if I got some things wrong about Colter and his experience in the show, I apologize.
A little disclaimer: I have never worked in law enforcement so I tried to piece together things Iâve seen and heard in true crime documentaries and podcasts alongside with movies/tv and books. I apologize for any inconsistencies, incorrect information, exaggerations, or complete fallacies. Basically, I made shit up.
Songs I listened to while writing: Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye; Easy Loving by Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty; Sweet Dreams by Patsy Cline; Sounds of Someday by Radio Company
Warnings: sanctioned assassination; death; gun violence; graphic description of killing; violence/blood mention; mention of dead bodies; arson; implied sex; a trace amount of smut(ish?); language
Word Count: 16K+
Russell Taglist: @deangirl96 (I hope you don't mind me tagging you in this one; this is going to lead into the series that I mentioned on "So Close"); @avada-kedavra-bitch-187; @rieleatiel
Jensen Taglist:Â @samanddeaninatrenchcoat
You can also read on AO3
Your phone started to buzz and you glanced at the screen, rolling your eyes and letting out a sigh before picking up. That wasnât the normal reaction you would have to seeing Colterâs name pop up on your phone but ever since that mess back at the morgue yesterday, you had been hoping he wouldnât contact you again. At least not until his brother went back to whatever hole heâd crawled out of. But now it looked like that had been a foolâs hope, on both counts.
âYou what?â You hissed.
âWeâre about to head to this home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and go in to get Doug,â he repeated.
âIâm sorry, an incredible amount of stupid just sounded in my ear. Can you repeat that?â
âReenie got me the location and itâs solid intel.â He lowered his voice. âLook, I thought we should get law enforcement involved, alright? But thereâs aâŚvalid reason why Russ doesnât want to call them that I canât get into right now.â
âWhoops, more stupid. One more time?â
Colter groaned into the phone. âCome on, Y/N.â
âIâm serious, Colter. What the hell are either of you thinkâwait, scratch that. What the hell are you thinking? Going into a dangerous location like that without any backup? If Carlos Solano found your missing man in a safehouse, do you think he wonât be armed to the teeth? That he wonât have guards patrolling the compound that youâre walking right into? That he wonât see something like this coming? You guys are walking right into a shitstorm.â Christ, you loved the guy like a long-lost brother that you sometimes kept in touch with but if he were in front of you right now, you wouldâve delivered one good smack to the back of his head to get him thinking straight. Colter may know his way around a gun, but he wasnât someone who had formal training or combat experience like Russell did. He didnât even have your training and you wouldnât be going in there kamikaze-style like they were.
âThatâs why Iâm calling you and asking you to meet us there. Iâm not exactly calling in law enforcement but weâll have one more person to watch our backs and help us search for Doug. And who better than a special agent with the FBI?â
You sat back in your chair, shaking your head but thinking it over. This was beyond stupid and you shouldnât be encouraging it. Russellâs involvement in this idiot plan didnât surprise you; Colterâs did. He knew better. But you also knew that if he thought he had a chance to get the missing guy back home safely, he was going to take it, no matter the personal risk. If you didnât go like he asked and anything happened to him or Russell, youâd never forgive yourself.
âPlease?âÂ
You pinched the bridge of your nose between your thumb and forefinger, your decision made. âSend me the location and Iâll leave now to meet you.â
âThank you.â You could hear the genuine gratitude in his tone. âI promise Iâll explain everything.â
âYou better,â you nearly growled before disconnecting the call. You had a feeling you knew what he was going to tell you but for his sake, you hoped it wasnât anything close to what you were thinking. But why else would Russell not want to call law enforcement for help in rescuing his friend who had been taken hostage by a foreign criminal? God, you hoped you were wrong.
You let out another loud sigh and before you could stand, your phone started ringing again. When you glanced at the screen, instead of a name, you saw âBlockedâ. Not good.
You swiped green, holding it to your ear. âY/L/N.â
âWe have a problem,â said the voice on the other end, one you knew all too well, and it didn't sound happy. Shit.
You watched as Colterâs truck pulled up alongside your car. Colter got out and noticed you leaning against your trunk, arms crossed and a scowl in place. Russell came around from the other side.Â
âEither of you boys see two suicidal idiots around here? Oh, wait.â
Russellâs jaw tightened. âIt wasnât my idea to call you.â He slid a glare over to his brother.Â
âYouâre lucky he did,â you snapped. âAnd since Iâm here,â You got to your feet and turned to open your trunk, revealing a smorgasbord of gear and weapons. âWeâre going to be doing this my way.â You held out a bulletproof vest to Colter first and he immediately started to strap it on. You held one out to Russell but he shook his head and didnât take it. You glanced over to find he had already put his own on while youâd been grabbing one for his brother.
âOkay, look,â Russell started, his eyes scanning your makeshift armory and setting your teeth on edge. âThis isnât some FBI raid of some drug gang. This guy, Carlos Solano, heâs the real deal. Heâs as dangerous as they come.â
You could feel your irritation turning into anger at the suggestion that you didnât know how serious this was, and from him of all people. âAnd what am I? Some part-time mall security guard? A receptionist at the Academy? Iâve dealt with cartels before and theyâre as dangerous as they come, too. So take that mansplaining and shove it right up where the sun doesn't shine.â
Russell took a step closer and laid a hand on your shoulder, his eyes burning into you. âBe pissed at me all you want but I donât want you getting hurt.â
âBut youâre okay with your brother getting hurt?â You briefly glanced in Colterâs direction. The younger man was watching you two carefully as he adjusted his vest one last time, wisely choosing to stay out of this one.Â
Russellâs jaw clenched and he dropped his hand. âIâve got him.â
You snorted and grabbed a gun, loading it quickly. âAnd Iâve got both of you. Now, weâve got a bit of a hike so letâs cut the chit chat and get this over with, shall we?â You motioned for Colter to turn around and you inserted an extra handgun into the back of his belt. âWe stick together as a unit. You hear me? No wandering off alone.â
Colter faced you again. âYes, Mom,â he teased.
You swatted at his shoulder before checking the fit of his vest, nodding in approval.
âI have done this before, you know.â
You knew that already. Youâd been there with him a couple of times for such instances. âGood for you,â you quipped. âBut for kicks, how about you just humor me?â
He rolled his eyes and you smirked, turning to slam the trunk shut. You glanced up to find Russell watching you, his jaw still tight but his eyes containing a familiar light that you hadnât seen in a while. âYou good?â
âYep.â And just like that, the light hollowed out, replaced by something far colder yet familiar, but not because youâd seen it in his gaze. Youâd seen it often enough in your own when looking into the mirror.Â
Pushing that thought away and shifting focus, you began to lead the way into the trees. âAlright, letâs do this and get Doug home in time for breakfast.â Colter flanked you on your right while Russell came up on your left.Â
âLetâs rock and roll,â he agreed.Â
It hadnât been as bad as youâd been expecting, even after youâd received the intel Colter had referred to on the phone. One guard and three henchmen. You were annoyed and almost insulted that they had presented so little a challenge considering Carlos Solano was supposed to be this big bad criminal. But when you glanced over and saw Colter looking over Russellâs bloody jacket sleeve, you regretted the thought and gratitude immediately filled you that things hadnât been worse. Russell had taken a bullet to the arm and thankfully, it had passed right through.Â
Before you could shoot the bastard that shot him, Colter and Russell were on it. You watched in awe as the brothers moved as a single unit, almost as if they hadnât been strained or missed a beat over the years. You supposed you should be happy that they were working together rather than still arguing over shit from a lifetime ago that had torn their family apart. For Colterâs sake at least.
Just then, you heard what sounded like a small plane outside. You hurried to a window and glanced outside, seeing a rapidly descending charter plane aiming for the tiny landing strip in the back of the property. Right on time.
You let the curtain fall and looked back at the guys. âTime to go.â
Dougâs face was ashen while Colter and Russell exchanged glances. Immediately, Russell picked up his gun and got ready to leave the room.
You rushed to stop him. âThere will be none of that!âÂ
âYou guys get Doug back to the truck. Iâll handle this.â
You practically jogged around him, planting yourself in his path. âNot happening.â
He glared down at you. âY/N, I need to close this up. Move.â
You scowled right back. âYouâve been shot.â
âIâm fine.â
âNo, youâre not.â
âI have to finish this.â
You refused to budge. âYou are not finishing anything. Youâre getting the hell out of here, thatâs what youâre doing.âÂ
âY/Nââ
âGuys, not the time,â Colter interceded. âHeâs getting off that plane any second now, so whatâs the plan?â
âSheâs right, man,â Doug added, making both of your gazes snap over at him. âWe really need to go.â
Voices suddenly sounded outside and you all glanced towards the window.
âShit,â you muttered, quickly checking the chamber on your gun. As you were about to head out of the room, a hand grasped gently under your chin and forced your eyes to meet Russellâs. You could see the pleading there but also a stone-cold resignation. âGo with Colter and Doug,â he urged, giving you a brief but strained smile. âI need you to go.â You felt the rough skin of his thumb on your cheek as he moved it tenderly back and forth.
You knew what he was really telling you, what he planned to do, but hell if you werenât more infuriated with him. You were so sick of the self-sacrificial bullshit. Hadnât it cost you enough? Cost you both?
You pulled away from him, giving him a glare. âI donât think you understand,â you said in a tone so cold you were pretty sure you could give the winds in Antarctica a run for their money. âIâm taking Solano in and I am not leaving until I have my suspect alive and in custody.â Russell looked pissed but you couldnât care less. Better than him being dead in the next two minutes.
You turned to face Colter and Doug so they also got the message. âThis case is under Federal jurisdiction now.â Colter glanced between you and his brother who you turned back to face. âIâm bringing him in. Got it?â
Russell went to say something but didnât get the chance. The sounds of gunfire erupted right outside the room and you all had to duck for cover.Â
You secured your handcuffs around Carlos Solanoâs wrists that had been forced behind his back once you shoved him into the chair in the room, purposely tightening the metal bracelets past the point of comfort. The man reacted, cursing you out as you smirked up at him.Â
Getting to your feet, you focused on the Shaws and Doug. Russell watched you with a glare while Colter waited for you to speak. Doug looked downright terrified. They had helped you to take down Solanoâs men who had flown with him â all three of them. Russell aimed for Solano but at the last second, you got in his way and tackled the criminal to the ground. Needless to say, he wasnât happy with you. Oh well. The feeling was mutual.
Colter placed his hands on his hips. âAlright, so how are we getting him back to the truck? Are we just going to drag him through the woods and hope we donât come across anybody else he might have coming here? How are we going to work this?â
You slipped your gun back into your holster. âHe doesnât have anyone else coming here and the plan is that you three are going to head back to the truck and get out of here. Iâm going to wait for a pickup,â You gestured towards the window with your thumb where the landing strip could be seen. âTheyâre nearby, waiting for my call, and they wonât take long to get here.â You shook your phone in your hand, indicating you were going to be using it.
Russell glanced around, as if expecting Agents to start popping up out of the woodworks at any second, before his eyes settled back on you. âSo you called this in after all?â
You shrugged. âYou were going into a fully armed compound to rescue a hostage, a two-man team against a crime lord on the FBIâs Most Wanted list? Yeah, of course, I did.â
He shook his head, chuckling and muttering a curse under his breath. âOf course you did,â he echoed, shooting a look over at his brother.Â
Colterâs gaze flickered back to you. âWeâll wait with you until they get here.â
You offered up a small smile. âI appreciate it but not necessary. Iâve got this until they get here and I do the handover.â
âButââ
âLook, you should get Doug out of here.â You inclined your head in the direction of the man who was staring dazedly at the floor. âYou need to get him checked out and your brother should get his arm looked at.â
âIâm fine,â Russell interjected.
You ignored him. âIâll be alright, Colter. Believe it or not, you tend to get experience with this kind of thing once or twice before becoming a Special Agent.â You meant it as a light-hearted reassurance but you could tell that both Shaw brothers were going to be a hard sell. At least Colterâs reasoning was up front and above board.
âIâm sure but I donât feel comfortable leaving you alone. Not with him.â Colter gestured towards Solano who spit in his direction.
âI wonât be for long. But you guys need to get out of here. The Bureau canât know you were involved in this.â You shot him a meaningful look. âFor multiple reasons.â
The younger man looked as if he was going to protest again when you held up a hand. âColter. You may not like it but you need to do as Iâm telling you. If the Bureau finds any of you hereâŚâ You could tell that he didnât care so much about himself but you let your eyes briefly flick in Russellâs direction, who was busy glaring at the man you had bound to the chair. You saw Colterâs expression immediately change and you knew you had succeeded in convincing him to vacate the area as soon as possible.
He nodded his head in assent. âOkay.â He laid a hand on Dougâs shoulder, prompting the man to look up at him, and urged him to start moving to the door.
âOkay? What do you mean okay?â Russell huffed.
Colter held up a hand. âRussellââ
âNo.â Russell turned a glare on you. âNot okay. Heâs a loose end that needs tying up. He knows who we are now, he came after Doug, and the FBI isnât going to do shit with him.â You narrowed your eyes in a glare but he continued. âThatâs not an insult. Itâs the truth and you know it. Theyâre going to what? Get him to talk, to roll over on someone else he has connections to whoâs higher up their food chain, and he gets off scot free? No, not happening on my watch.âÂ
He took a step forward and so did you, in front of Solano. You drew your gun but held it loosely across your waist, your finger on the trigger, ready and waiting should you need it. Russell stopped cold, his eyes flickering back and forth between you and the weapon in your hand. Colter and Doug were frozen, watching the scene unfold.
âI told you,â you said in the most deadly serious tone you could muster. âIâm taking him in, alive. If you have a problem with that, wellâŚâ You flipped the safety on the gun off. âYouâll have to go through me. And I promise you, my aim is a hell of a lot more accurate at close range than itâs ever been.â
Russell didnât blink, he just kept scowling at you.
âRuss?â Colter called.
âDonât make me kill you in front of him, Russell,â you murmured so only the two of you would hear. You were serious as a heart attack. No matter how you had felt about him once upon a time, this was important enough for you to make good on your threat if you needed to.
âYou wouldnât.â
âI would and it will be justified by the higher ups as protection of a high-valued target before your body goes cold.â You hated saying the words but it was nothing but the truth that you spoke. You hoped he heard the message underneath your words: walk away, this isnât worth dying over. âAnd heâll be further traumatized,â you inclined your head in Colterâs direction. âLosing his brother right in front of him, just like he lost his dad.â You knew that was a severely low blow but he also needed to hear you.Â
As expected, Russellâs jaw clenched and you saw a twitch in the good arm he had, the one that was holding his gun. âDonât be stupid and do that to him,â you warned. âWalk away.â
That cold look was back in his eyes again. You mentally prepared yourself for what was about to go down. You had hoped he wouldnât force your hand but then again, Russell Shaw had always been the epitome of stubborn, usually to his own detrimentâŚand yours.  Â
âRussell?â Colter tried again.
âRuss, come on, man. Let it be for now,â Doug added in, trying to help. âAnd letâs regroup.â
This time, Russell appeared to hear them both, his gaze breaking from yours momentarily, flickering over Solano behind you, who was laughing and smirking in the formerâs direction, clearly enjoying the standoff over him.Â
Russellâs eyes met yours again but this time, there was nothing familiar about the green you used to stare into when heâd sway with you on the dance floor to a slow song playing overhead or when youâd both wear matching sated grins and laugh, a pleasant exhaustion overtaking you as he pulled you into his arms in a motel bed. It was almost like staring into a dark void and you couldnât help but wonder how often that void showed up during war or if the war created it â the old chicken or the egg question. Either way, you knew youâd succeeded in convincing him to leave, but youâd also have to watch yourself. There was no warmth left in those jade-colored orbs when they focused on you. Youâd done your work well; youâd crossed a line that you could never go back from.
âAlright,â he capitulated, loud enough that the two men near the doorway heard him. He relaxed his arm and slipped his gun into a pocket in his vest. His face lightened a little and a strained smile worked its way across his face. He glanced back at his brother. âSheâs right. We should get Doug out of here.â He turned back to face you, his smile fading. âSheâs got this.â He then glanced in Solanoâs direction, smirking right back. âIâll see you soon,â he promised, giving him a finger gun and winking, before his expression became stone once more and he walked away, glaring at you as he did.
You lifted your chin, not reacting in the slightest, until Solano shouted out, âYouâll be seeing me? No, puta, Iâll be seeing you. Youâll never see it coming, you hear me? Youâll never see it coââ You spun a few degrees and pistol-whipped him, causing the jackass to cry out in pain before you turned back to face Doug and the two most important men in your life. âGet going,â you growled out, lifting your phone with your other hand as a subtle threat.
Colter gave you a nod, the concern still there in his dark brown gaze as he led Doug out the door. Russellâs eyes never left you, even when he walked out the door a moment later, following his little brotherâs lead. You never looked away even when he was past the threshold.Â
You ignored Solanoâs yelling threats and kept your eyes on the spot you had last seen the Shaws disappear through a few minutes longer than needed, tense and ready in case Russell decided to double back. Though you highly doubted heâd come at you from the same angle. A part of you was making sure you stayed prepared in case there was an ambush, yes, but another part of you knew your gaze was lingering on the spot because you knew things had now drastically changed between you and Russell forever. He would never forgive your threats and you would never forgive yourself for having to make them. Though that remorse was more related to Colter than his brother. Regardless, when it came to the Shaws now, you were fucked. Not even Dory would want to hear from you, not that she had all that much before, but now it was definitely a no go. And that saddened you tremendously.
Hearing more of Solanoâs threats, you recentered your focus on the task at hand and prepared to wait, giving him one more pistol whip for good measure, before you settled in and kept both eyes and ears open for any possible ambush that might come your way before you could finish up here.Â
You leaned against the workstation next to the chair, waiting, gun still in hand and your eyes focused on it. You had waited a certain amount of time to allow the boys to get out of the area.
âThe soldado was right, you know. Theyâre not going to hold me,â Solano bragged.
You briefly closed your eyes in annoyance. He had been talking ever since you were left alone with him. He had offered you money to let him go, offered you riches and power that you knew for a fact he had no business offering. He even had the nerve to propose making you one of his new lieutenants, citing your fighting skills and gun handling that heâd briefly witnessed. He knew you would be able to protect him because you had from the asesinos who had killed his brother. He then changed tactics, threatening you, your loved ones, the men who just leftâŚnow, he was boasting about how he would walk free and whatever charges were thrown at him wouldnât stick. You just wished he would shut the hell up already. Needless to say, it had been a long twenty minutes. You now understood why his brother had been the businessman and he was only the muscle willing to do the dirty work. His bargaining skills were for shit, not that it mattered in the scheme of things. No deals were being made today.
âI offer them a little bit of money and theyâll just make the case go away. Just like that.â
You checked your watch. Twenty two minutes now. That was good enough. You slowly got to your feet and moved past him to look out the window. You had purposely moved his chair out of the sight of the glass, in case Russell got any ideas.
âThatâs how it works here in America. Everybody knows that. If the criminals have money and power, they donât stay in jail.â
You ignored him, glancing around to see if there was any movement outside. You didnât see any.Â
âThey wonât keep me locked up. They werenât able to in my home country. What makes you think theyâll be able to here? Where corruption is ripe and anyone can be bought? And then Iâll be coming for you and for your friends. You will wish for death long before I am through with you.â
You made your way to another window, lifting the curtain and looking around. Still nothing.
âThereâs no point in bringing me to jail. It will never hold me.â
You lowered the curtain and squared your shoulders, turning to face his direction. You focused on him, staring right into his eyes. âYou know, I think youâre right.â
Solano seemed pleasantly surprised for a moment, thinking you were finally stupid enough to take one of his offers, before his eyes narrowed with realization. âNo, waitââ
You quickly lifted your gun and squeezed off a round. His head snapped back from the force and the space behind him was spattered with red among other things. One glance confirmed your aim had been accurate; he was dead. Right through the eye. What youâd said to Russell earlier hadnât been an exaggeration; you were much more accurate at close range than youâd ever been.
You slipped a pair of gloves on that you pulled from your pants pocket and immediately started unzipping the small compartments on the side of your vest where you usually kept extra ammo in a raid, pulling out small white bottles that werenât sporting any labels. You began to squirt the liquid from inside them all around the room, dousing Solanoâs body with a healthy amount.
You continued into the house, having quite a few bottles of lighter fluid to empty out in specific areas that would help achieve your goal. Arson wasnât your preferred route but it did get rid of pesky little things like hair and DNA, and what it didnât, it contaminated which would make it harder for not only law enforcement but the justice system to work with. Though you werenât too worried about either looking at this particular house fire too closely.
You didnât bother collecting any bullet casings, knowing that your gun and the ones youâd given Colter to use would be untraceable even if they somehow managed to get a hold of any of the weapons (which they wouldnât). And Russellâs gunâŚyou figured he had that handled. The only thing you did collect were your handcuffs.Â
You also didnât bother staging anything for the scene. There was already enough evidence that pointed to the theory that Solanoâs own men had turned on him and a gunfight ensued, resulting in the multiple dead bodies. While an arson specialist would most likely be able to tell that an accelerant had been used, there was no way for them to confirm just who had been present for this battle and who had gotten away. Satellite imagery would be shoddy at best due to the foliage cover (and eventual smoke) but still, you planned to set the fire and make your getaway out the back, crossing over the landing strip so if they went back to look for any heat signatures after the fire started, it would be one person leaving the scene alive, the person they would assume had started the blaze. There were no nearby neighbors to immediately call first responders but that didnât mean smoke wouldnât be seen from the sky from miles away or that a fiery orange blaze in the distance wouldnât be noticed by residents of another vacation home or cars traveling the backroads in the area. Since you planned to go into the deep woods and take the long roundabout route back to your car, you werenât too worried about your path being followed.
Once you had completed all of your tasks, you used the fireplace to help, moving the grate out of the way, starting a fire, and then knocking a fiery log onto the wooden flooring. You used a lighter to set flammable materials that you could find to add to the flames. Only when the room was nearly engulfed did you finally slip a beanie from your pocket, cover your head fully, and make your way out of the house. Once at the landing strip, you ducked under the plane, making sure you couldnât be seen from above.Â
You watched as the flames consumed the house. Once the smoke was sufficient, flames were ragings out of the windows, and the sound of breaking glass could be heard, you knew it was time for you to vacate the vicinity before the sirens started up. It was fortunate that most people were asleep at this hour but the sun was due to come up not too long from now and you had a long trek ahead of you, so you needed to get moving.
You kept your head down and made your way into the woods surrounding the property line.Â
The sun was breaching the horizon and quickly warming the sky by the time you made it back to your car. You were relieved that Colterâs truck was gone and you needed to quickly make tracks as well. Sirens had started up an hour ago and you needed to get the hell out of Dodge before the cops were all over these roads. You tossed your weapons and vest into the trunk and got in the car. You slipped your beanie off your head, tossing it onto the seat next to you, and started the engine.
Just as you had expected, cops were everywhere but thankfully, you had timed it just right and gotten out before they could block all of the mountain roads. Once you were back in town a few hours later and a certain distance away, you pulled a phone out of your glove compartment you kept there for emergencies and turned it on. You pressed a button and it immediately dialed the number programmed â the only number you had saved on this device.Â
It rang once before the same voice from yesterday picked up. âIs it done?â
âWeâre clear,â you confirmed. âItâs been handled.â
âShaw?â
Your jaw clenched. You knew that despite how you and Russell had left things earlier, you would do whatever it took to keep him breathing. âHeâs a soldier. He follows orders.â
âHe wasnât so willing to follow orders in this situation.â
âYou know what theyâre taught. Leave no man behind. He got his man so heâll be fine. Things can go back to how they were. Heâs not going to be an issue and heâs clean, just like you wanted.â
And then you were asked the one question you didnât want to hear. âAnd the brother? Whatâs your assessment?â
The knuckles of your free hand gripped your steering wheel so tightly that you could see how white your skin turned from the pressure. âNon-issue. He has no interest in you.â
âHe seemed interested yesterday.â
You forced yourself to remain calm and nonchalant. âHeâs paid to be nosy when someone goes missing so he can get them found. He found who he was looking for, he was able to keep the promise to the guyâs wife â itâs over for him. The case is closed, itâs as simple as that for him. Heâs no threat.â
You waited to hear a response, holding your breath and your hand gripping the wheel even tighter, your body tensed. This would be what decided your fate. Either you would be allowed to go on as before or youâd be going on a mission up against one of the top private security contractor firms in the world which wouldnât end well for you. But youâd take out whoever you could with you before you were killed.
Another moment passed before the voice replied, âUnderstood.â
Your body relaxed slightly and your shoulders sunk in relief. Colter was safe. Russell was safeâŚfor now. And you didnât have to go all Rambo Kamikaze on anyone. Win-win all around.
âIâll let the higher ups know the situation has been contained. Good work. Weâll be in touch.â
Without waiting for a response from you, the call disconnected. You quickly shut the phone off and tossed it back into its original spot. You let out a deep breath and the exhaustion from the past twelve hours immediately overtook your body. Deciding that returning to your place was not an option for you right now, you headed to another part of town, parked your car on the street some blocks away to the nearest motel, and using a baseball cap to cover your hair along with sunglasses, you hoofed it and then booked a room, paying cash and using a fake name. Once you set up everything you needed to in your quarters, you slipped onto the mattress and got some much needed rest, keeping your gun under your pillow within reach should you need it.
You pulled up to Colterâs trailer, watching as he stepped outside to greet you. You put your car in park, took a deep breath, and got out. You offered Colter a small smile. âHey.â
He returned it. âHey.â
You had been surprised when Colter called you a few days later to let you know he was still in town for a bit and invited you to drop by for a beer. Not surprised that he was still around (you already knew that) but surprised that he even wanted to speak to you. Perhaps Russell hadnât told him what youâd threatened back in the mountains.
You took the beer he offered to you and followed him over to the firepit, taking a seat on one of the coolers. He sat nearby and held up his bottle in a toast. You mirrored him and then you both took a sip. You nearly sighed in satisfaction as the carbonated beverage slid down your throat. You enjoyed the taste and checked the label. âMmm, home brewâŚnot bad. You got something you want to tell me? Planning on opening some sort of brewery outfit anytime soon?â You were teasing but if Colter really was thinking of doing something else â anything else â instead of his current job, youâd fully support it.
âNot me.â Disappointment flared in your chest, your hope dashed. âRuss was actually the one who made it. I had some left over from the other night.â
The beer suddenly began to sour in your stomach. Well, you supposed it was good that Russell was starting to think of the future, the most important part of that being that there would be one. It still burned a bit, though.
You decided to change the subject so you wouldnât have to think about that right then. âSo, your guy is back home safe?â
Colter nodded. âDropped him off myself.â Something else you already knew but you had to keep up appearances.
You nodded, biting your lip and staring into the flames. âAnd your brother?â
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Colterâs jaw tense for a moment. âGone.â Though you had an idea that was the case, Colterâs confirmation still stung, like someone poking a finger into an old wound after ripping the scar tissue away. But what else had you expected? This was Russell Shaw you two were talking about after all.
You snorted and shook your head, taking another swig of beer. âOf course he is.â
He turned to look at you. âYou know, you never told me what happened between you two.â
You shrugged a shoulder. âNot worth going into, trust me.â
Thankfully, Colter left it alone and he rolled with it when you brought up a different topic instead.Â
âSo, how much longer are you here for?â
âTeddi and Velma are working on that right now actually. Hopefully, something pops up soon.â He took another sip of beer, turning to gaze at the flames as well.
âIt will.â Fortunately for him and sadly for others, someone would always go missing.
âHow about you? Are they sending you somewhere for a new case or are they going to let you stay local for a bit? If itâs the latter, maybe you could get a dog for that place of yours?â
You smirked and ran your thumb down the smooth glass of the brown bottle in your hand. Colter kept teasing you about the residence you maintained nearby considering you were never really there most of the time. Heâd then extoll the virtues of living on the open road, not having roots put down anywhere that would grow into expectations, and the unrestrained thrill of it all. The first time youâd had that conversation, you knew then that the desire to keep moving and stay unburdened must be a male Shaw thing. Dory seemed happy where she had settled and you â you wanted a home base. Some place you could come back to where you were still able to connect to yourself again, no matter how lost at sea you might be at times, no matter how much you felt as if every single piece of you was floating away on the wind until only a monster was left standing there, staring back at you in the rearview mirror of your car.
âRight now, I have a few things I need to close up,â you lied. âThen Iâll probably get sent out in the field again to work some cases.â You hated lying to him but you had no choice. His safety came first. As much as you had hated Russell for a time, you could now appreciate the difficult position he was in. Though, he had chosen to be put there, and now, so had you.Â
You watched Colter nod, accepting your answer. âI still think a German Shepherd would be a great choice for you,â he teased. âYou know, a big dog, trainable, would make a good guard dog. You could take it with you, chase suspects down together...â
âOh yeah, I could see it now,â you played along. âIâd have to sneak him into hotel rooms, make sure he doesnât take a shit on the rug⌠Then weâd go on the job and I could introduce him to everyone, âIâm Special Agent Y/L/N but you can call me Turner and this is my partner Hooch.ââ
Colter winced. âNo, no. You have to give him a name that will strike fear into the hearts of the criminals you track down. Like General or Commando or Killer. Killer! Now thatâs a good name. That will make anyone think twice about running from a dog with that name.â
This time, you were the one who winced though you hid it well. Instead, you forced out a laugh. âI am not getting a huge dog named Killer and bringing him to work with me.â
He grinned. âThatâs a shame. I would have loved to have seen the look on your face when the dog would sit in the front seat.â
âThere would be no front seat sitting. Back seat only.â
âLike a criminal who he just helped you to arrest? Thatâs cold, even for you.â
âI am so glad that you have this imaginary dog of mineâs back.â
He snickered and took a drink, looking back at the flames. Your smile slowly faded as you did the same. You both sat there, drinking in a companionable silence for a bit.
Eventually, your eyes flickered over towards him. âI need you to promise me something.â
His brows drew together questioningly when he met your gaze.
âHorizonâŚâ You noticed him tense slightly at the mention. âNo more.â When you saw the confusion in his expression, you elaborated. âNo more digging, no more Reenie asking her contacts about them, no more mention of them period. You got the guy you were looking for. Now, put it to bed and forget that you ever knew they existed.â
His confusion increased. âI did put it to bed the second I dropped Doug off at his door and saw him hug his wife.â
You gave him a look. âCol, I need you to promise me,â you softly entreated.Â
His brows arched slightly at the use of the nickname; you didnât use it often and if you were, then he knew you meant business. He also knew what you were telling him without explicitly saying it; Horizon was dangerous and they were better left alone. It would be better for him to get a case of sudden amnesia about anything related to the organization.
He watched you for a moment before giving you a nod. âAs long as nobody else goes missing like Doug did and as long as Russ is okay, theyâre forgotten.â
You knew that was the best you were going to get from him and you leaned forward slightly. âAnd if anything happens to Russ, Iâll be right there with you, knocking on their front door,â you promised. And you would be; no question about it.
The corner of his lips tipped up in the beginning of a smile and after a moment, you couldnât help but return it.Â
The coffee shop you were in was decently quiet considering it was around 8:55 in the morning and most people were making their last minute dashes for caffeine before the working day began. You sat near the window, facing the entrance so you could keep an eye on who came in and out. You had ordered your usual, a soy vanilla latte, and you carefully sipped at the hot liquid. You scanned your phone for the dayâs headlines, looking for any updates on the mysterious house fire that started in the mountains a few nights ago. Â
You knew you wouldnât find any and sure enough, you didnât. Someone was working overtime to squash the case from up above, just like you knew they would. You also knew that some local law enforcement officials didnât buy the criminals-turning-on-their-boss theory and they actually thought the scene looked like a professional hit. Exactly what you figured would happen when accelerants had been found to be used at the scene. As much as you were sure the cops were looking to sink their teeth into something exciting to happen in those parts in however long, the bottom line was the case would get dropped and no one was going to care what happened to a violent criminal like Carlos Solano. The FBI would actually be relieved to remove one more name from their list, one more file from their desks. One more dangerous bad guy removed from the world that threatened American citizens as well as national security. No one was going to miss the murderous bastard.
You powered down your screen and placed your phone on the table, turning to glance out the window. That was when you saw him. Well, the reflection of him.Â
You watched as he walked towards you, still dressed in a ratty pair of jeans and old boots, wearing another t-shirt with a different musician on it while sporting an open button-up over it, and donning that old military style jacket. His eyes were intent on you and you had to wonder how he had gotten in without you seeing him. The answer was in the reflection of someone walking past him to get to the bathrooms in the rear of the cafe. There was no exit located near there, you knew that because this was a local spot of yours, so how did he⌠Shit.
Even though you watched him in the glass and he watched you back, you didnât give anything away to alert him that you knew he was there. You started calculating in your head how many people stood in between you and the front door (your only exit at this point), how much force you would have to use to catch him off guard and knock him to the ground so you could make your escape, and how fast you would have to run to your car. You even had a moment to debate drawing your gun and your badge, and making a scene to get yourself out of this mess. But all of that proved to be for naught when he came to a stop near you and announced his presence by asking, âThis seat taken?â
You slowly turned to face him, arching an inquisitive brow, but you eventually shook your head. His lips twitched into the beginning of a smirk and he took the seat across from you. His eyes were a lot lighter than they were the other day as they took you in. âLooking good, Y/N. Like always.â
Your eyes narrowed. âReally?â
He shrugged and reached for your coffee, taking the lid off. You hated it when he did this, the whole sharing coffee thing; now you would need to order another oneâŚwell, depending on how this impromptu meeting went. âWhat, I canât tell my girl that she looks good?â He took a sip and made a face. âHow do you still drink this crap? It tastes like foam mixed with shit.â
âAnd free garbage coffee from the lobby of the latest scuzzy motel youâre staying in doesnât?â
âHey, donât knock it. They have real nice machines now and it tastes the way coffee should. Not like this bullshit.â
You watched as he grabbed a spoon, added some sugar, and began stirring the crap out of what had once been your perfect latte. You thought over what heâd said before. âIâm not your girl, Russell.â His eyes met yours. âI havenât been for some time now.â
He finished stirring and removed the spoon, lifting the glass to take a sip. âYouâll always be my girl.â
You snorted and lifted a finger in the air to signal to the barista that you wanted another coffee. The kid gave you a nod and turned to make it. âIs that what you tell yourself when youâre hooking up with cheerleaders-turned-dental-hygienists in hot tubs?â
Russell pressed his lips together and looked appropriately chastised, not even bothering to deny it. âColter told you. I shouldâve known he would mention it. You two were always close like that.â  Â
You didnât confirm or deny that. There was no point in mentioning that Colter hadnât been the one to tell you, not intentionally anyway. Instead, you leaned forward in your chair. âWhat do you want, Russell?â
âI wanted to talk to you.â
âAbout what?â You snapped. You had been on edge, thinking he was here to either kill you or threaten you. Then him hitting on you and making that asinine and incredibly presumptuous statement bothered you more than you cared to admit. Not to mention he pissed you off when he took the latte youâd decided to treat yourself with after a few difficult days (without even asking you might add), knowing how that had irked you anytime he did it when you were dating. It was like the man was begging you to put a foot in his ass.
Russell glanced around briefly before removing something from inside his jacket. It was a folded up newspaper and he slapped it down in front of you. A picture of a burnt out structure stared back up at you with the headline reading above it âHouse Fire Claims 8 Lives, Sheriff Confirms Arsonâ. Your eyes met his and in that moment, you knew that he knew.
You refused to give it away just like that, though. If he wanted the truth, heâd have to work for it. He wasnât getting anything for free, not from you, not anymore. You gave him a smirk. âIs this your way of telling me that youâve finally learned to read, Russ? Iâm impressed, really.â
Instead of being insulted, his eyes widened slightly. âYou called me Russ.â
You sat back in your chair, pushing the newspaper away from you and prying eyes, waiting for the barista making his way over to you to deliver your coffee. âSlip of the tongue. Wonât happen again.â You smiled at the young kid in thanks when he placed the drink down in front of you and promptly slid your glass out of Russellâs reach. He saw it and immediately worked to smother a smile as the kid walked away.
âSo, you got any more interesting tricks I should know about?â
Without any preamble, Russell said, âSolanoâs dead,â the exact second you took a sip of your new coffee. If he was expecting any reaction to the news, he was in for disappointment when you didnât give it.
âYes, I heard. Quite unfortunate.â
âTheyâre all dead actually. Even that guard we subdued in the beginning.â
You remembered; youâd been the one to kill him after all. Once Russell and Colter got to their feet after knocking the guard out and started moving towards the house, you quietly pulled a knife and slipped the blade into the side of the manâs head. Youâd cut his zip ties, removed them and the gag, and then caught up to the guys â all within seconds. You had made sure to move the guardâs body inside later, right before youâd started the fire, trying your best to get rid of any drag marks youâd left on the ground. You were there to clean up the mess, not leave witnesses, even if they had never seen any of you coming.
You nodded. âI know, I heard that, too. Is there a point here somewhere or can I get back to the nice morning I was having before you showed up to steal my coffee?â
Russell was the one to lean forward this time, lowering his voice even further. âYou said you were calling in the FBI for a pickup. Who did you really call?â
You could tell he was trying to give you an out, an opportunity to explain that it wasnât what he was thinking, and maybe you should have lied your ass offâŚbut you no longer wanted to. You knew Russell; he wasnât going to let this go until he had an answer that he deemed to be the truth. And while you could give him a distorted version of that truth that didnât land at your feet, a petty part of you wanted him to know.Â
âY/N?â He pressed. âWho did you call?â
You sat back in your chair, considering him for a moment before you spoke. âNo one.â
Russell dropped his head, briefly closing his eyes. âFuck, I was afraid of that.â He glanced up at you, his eyes full of a sadness you hadnât seen in some time. You knew he wouldnât be happy if he ever found out the truth, but not to this extent. âI told you to walk away and let me handle it.â His voice was softer, not as gruff as before. You realized then that youâd accomplished what that vindictive side of you had wanted all along, ever since the day he walked away; youâd hurt him and caused him pain. Pain that you could see clear as day lining his face right now. He wasnât even trying to hide it. And quite frankly, that pain caught you off guard. After all of this time, this is what it took for him to feel even a sliver of what youâd felt back in the day when heâd left you bleeding, your heart torn from your chest and sitting in pieces on the floor heâd just casually walked over to get to the door?
Not really sure what to make of this development or the emotions it caused to rise up within you, you went into pure professional mode and forged ahead. âThe three of you didnât need to be involved.â You could see the pain getting worse and it made you uncomfortable, something prodding at your chest and itching at your skin that you really didnât care for. âBesides, last I checked, I donât take orders from you, Shaw.â You threw his last name in there as a last resort to put even more distance there between you.
His eyes flicked from the newspaper to you. âWho do you take orders from then? Something tells me this wasnât FBI-sanctioned.âÂ
You surreptitiously glanced around you before leaning in, lowering your voice.âYou know, going to your handlerâs house during her kidâs birthday party was a pretty bad idea. Ann really didnât like that.â You watched as Russellâs eyes widened slightly before his face fell, a dreaded realization filling his expression. He had never mentioned her name to you before and he knew Colter hadnât mentioned her to you either when giving you the rundown of what they knew before meeting up in the mountains. You sat back, tensed and ready for whatever came next.Â
His jaw clenched. âHow long?â He ground out.
âLong enough.â
You kept your gaze trained on his and you did your best to read him, trying to assess what he might do, now that the pain was all but absent since your revelation. Would he tell you to watch your back and leave? Would he tell you to stay away from Colter for good? It was hard to gauge from the way he was staring at you right then. You could see anger bubbling underneath but you also caught something coming to the surface that strangely looked like remorse. Considering you hadnât seen that emotion on him too often, it was tough to be sure in your identification of it. And then something flickered in his eyes right then, something so fast you almost didnât catch it, but you did. Fear that quickly dissolved into determination. You braced yourself for whatever he would say or do; this was it. This would determine your next steps.
Instead, he surprised you once more. He snatched the newspaper up and slipped it back into his jacket, before reaching over and taking your hand in his. âIâm getting you out of here. Now. Letâs go.â
Stunned, you wordlessly got to your feet but then it hit you, you were about to go somewhere alone with him. Not that you couldnât handle yourself but he had still been Special Ops once upon a time and he killed people for a livingâŚjust like you.Â
âRussell, Iâm notââ
âYes, you are,â he growled. âIâm getting you as far from here as I can. Iâve got a buddy who has a cabin in upstate New York. Itâs got months-long supplies, power and running water, and a small armory. Youâll be safe there until this whole thing blows over.â
You yanked your hand out of his and grabbed your phone and jacket. âIâm plenty safe here. I have no reason to run, so Iâm staying. You want to leave? Go right ahead. We both know itâs what youâre best at.â The sadness was back but you looked away from it. Yes, that had been another low blow but it was also well-deserved. You moved past him, refusing to look over your shoulder even once. There was no way heâd do anything out in the open; he wouldnât dare risk it, especially now.
You slipped into your car, not surprised in the least when Russell got in on the other side before you could even think about locking the doors.
âWhat are you doing?â You hissed.
âWhatâs it look like?â He clicked his seatbelt. âIâm staying with you until you agree to my plan to get you someplace safe or you explain how the hell this even happened.â He pulled out the newspaper, holding it up for a moment before tossing it to the floor. You could see the determined set to his jaw and you knew he meant it.Â
âRussell,â You pinched the bridge of your nose. âI do not have time for this.â You blew out a quiet breath and turned to face him. âNow I suggest you get out of my car orââ
âYouâll shoot me?â He shot you a look. Yeah, he was still pissed about the threats youâd made a few nights ago. You supposed you couldnât blame him but you did what you had to do to get him and his brother out of there. You had regrets but they were slim. âWe both know you wonât.â
That infuriated you and had you seething. âYou think I wonât?â
âI know you wonât. Just like I know that no matter how much you tell yourself that you hate me, you really donât.â
You scoffed out a laugh in disbelief. âWow, you really are incredibly delusiââ
âI also know you would never do that to my brother.â Your glare in his direction intensified. âYouâve always been protective of him. Just like me.â A glimmer of a fond smile worked its way onto his bearded face.
Your jaw clenched and you looked away from him, back towards the coffee shop you had just stormed out of, your grip tightening on your steering wheel. It was true; youâd always looked out for Colter in some way ever since youâd gotten to know him through Russell.Â
While the relationship between the brothers had been strained for years, it didnât mean that there hadnât been a couple of times where Dory hadnât attempted to get them into a room together to try to fix what had been broken. In one such instance, Russell had brought you along, after shocking you by asking you two nights before to accompany him. The man had spent over a decade in the military, worked Special Ops, and there wasnât much he was afraid of, if at all. But when you were wrapping leftovers to throw into the fridge and heâd laid a hand on your shoulder, turning you to face him, youâd never seen Russell Shaw look so worried, vulnerable, and damn near terrified in all of the time youâd known him. Youâd even felt it when heâd enfolded you into his arms and whispered into your ear that he was due to meet up with his family in the next two days, asking you to come with him. How could you say no to that? You knew of the familyâs tragic history and the simmering tensions that still existed between the Shaws who were still alive; Russell had told you everything, even about how his mom had hung him out to dry (though he made excuses for her which made you grind your teeth). And for him to ask you to go, to meet his family, you knew then just how important this was for him. So you went, squeezed his hand in silent support whenever he appeared to need it, and did your best to provide distraction whenever things got a little too tense or heated. Dory didnât care for you too much; you got the distinct feeling that she wasnât happy Russell had brought an interloper to a family-only discussion. But ColterâŚColter you got along with from the start.Â
Colter seemed happier to talk to you than his brother and you could tell that bothered Russell tremendously. He had told you once how much he missed his siblings at times, especially his little brother, and he would never stop hoping to patch things up with them one day. Sure enough, he tried to interject into the conversation a few times with you helping as much as you could, but each time Colter shut him down. It was blatantly obvious that the younger man wanted nothing to do with him and there was definitely some resentment still floating around after years of estrangement. Needless to say, things hadnât ended well at that dinner and you werenât surprised that Russell drank a little heavier that night. Nor were you surprised when he grasped at you in the hotel room and pulled you to him, his lips claiming yours as he began unbuttoning your shirt and moving you towards the bed. You knew he was hurting and you let him take solace in you as you whispered loving assurances in his ear.Â
After that, Colter surprised you by calling you a couple of months down the road, apologetically asking for your help on a case he had picked up. Though he didnât know you well, he was in a rough spot and needed a helping hand, particularly a Federal one. You saw the opportunity for what it had been, an opening of a possible door between him and Russell, so you took it. You helped Colter as much as you could without risking being read the riot act by your superior, and you two got to know each other better as you worked together. It happened a few more times and you had even called Colter in to assist on a case of your own that you had snagged. You had gone for beers afterwards each time and youâd tried your best to talk to him, to convince him to give Russell a chance. He hadnât been interested, was resistant to it even, but he liked you and he was starting to trust you a little more each time. Heâd even reluctantly admitted once that he was glad his brother had you, immediately following up with âHe better be treating you right, though.â You had simply smiled and assured him that Russell very much was.Â
You didnât mention the odd absences a few times a month (sometimes with little to no warning), the radio silence during these stints, and the avoidance of any penetrating questions upon his return â all of it that had become conditional to your relationship by that point. And Russell certainly wasnât happy at all to find out youâd been working with Colter once you told him. You both had arguments before like any common couple but nothing like this. You had never seen him so angry and heâd laughed when you told him he had no need to be jealous if that was what he was worried about, you loved him and you were trying to make things better for the both of them, to pave the way for him to be able to make peace with his brother.Â
âYou just donât get it.âÂ
He had shaken his head and glared over at you before he walked out of the room, away from you. From then on, Russell became even more secretive, distant, and cold as ice. Gone was the easy affection, heart to heart talks, and playful banter between you. Gone were the tender touches, gentle kisses, and passionate sex. The love of your life turned into a stranger right before your very eyes. It hadnât been too long after that when heâd left for good, leaving your heart shattered on your hardwood floor. As time passed, you were surprised he hadnât just packed up and left in the middle of the night while you were sleeping, without a single word to you and completely ghosting you, since he had been intent on leaving you in his past. It might have been kinder actually compared to the things heâd said to you as a final goodbye before walking away for good.Â
So whenever you had dared to think back on it over the last few years, youâd always figured the fight over Colter had contributed in some way to the rapid unraveling of your relationship. Well, that fight andâŚother things.
âLetâs go somewhere we can talk,â Russell urged, breaking you out of your thoughts. âCome on, Y/N, you owe me that at least.â
You turned the most menacing glare on him that was possible for you to give someone. âI donât owe you shit,â you bit out. How dare he say that? To you of all people? Â
His jaw tightened and after a moment, he agreed with a soft nod. âFair enough.âÂ
You broke away from his intent gaze a minute later, your decision made as you turned the car on. âYou know what? If this will get you out of my life for good this time, then fine. Letâs talk. And donât be so sure I wonât shoot you afterwards should you continue to piss me off. Youâre right, I do care about Colter,â You scowled over at him. âBut not that deeply.â
Russell matched your scowl but wisely kept quiet as you backed your car out of your parking spot. You felt an immediate surge of guilt for having said that about his younger brother. You did care about Colter, more than you would ever admit to anyone, even your ex. There was nothing remotely romantic between you two; there never had been and there never would be. But Russell had been right; you were protective of him. Not only because he was a good man but he also reminded you of someone you had lost long ago. You would bend over backwards to keep him safe (as safe as you could given his chosen career), even if it meant putting yourself in harmâs way. He had truly become like a brother to you.Â
But you had also meant what you said just now. If Russell continued to irritate you, there was no way he was leaving this time without you putting a bullet in him. Right in his ass before the door could hit it when he turned his back on you for the last time. That or a good old fashioned ass kicking in the form of your right hook. After everything heâd done, he deserved nothing less. Â
You pulled up to a local motel that you had booked a room at the last few days, in case you needed to close up shop and haul ass out of town quickly. It wasnât the same establishment you had gone to the morning of the fire and you still had your place thirty minutes away, but you had learned it was always best to prepare for any eventuality. Especially after a job needing to be done so close to home. You had seen what happened with Doug; who was to say Horizon wouldnât leave you out to dry, too, should the heat from the fire get a little too close?
You got out and headed over to the door, unlocking it and stepping inside, not looking back to see if Russell was following you. Neither of you had spoken on the ride over (which was probably for the best) and you didnât glance at him once. Instead, you had done your damndest to tamp down the fury you felt racing through your veins as more and more memories played out in your mind. Now that Russell had a vague idea of the truth of what you had been doing all of this time, everything you had ever wanted to say to him seemed to be trying to rush to the surface as well as all of the pain you had endured.
You slipped your suit jacket off and tossed it onto the bedspread. You heard the door shut behind you and you spun around, seeing Russellâs eyes scanning the room, stopping on the bed, and then lifting to you. You scoffed and unbuttoned the sleeves of your blouse, rolling them up to your forearms. âNot happening so donât even think about it,â you hissed.
âWasnât going there.â
You didnât believe him. âRight.â You took a seat at the table and impatiently gestured to the seat across from you. âWell?â
He sat down and without missing a beat, dove right in. âHow the hell did this even happen, Y/N?â
âReally? Thatâs what youâre starting out with?â
Russell shot you a look.
You let out an aggravated sigh and sat back in your chair, crossing your legs and getting comfortable. âI was recruited, not too long after you left.â
His jaw dropped. âThey approached you?â
Nodding, your jaw tightened thinking back to that time. It wasnât a memory you liked revisiting. You were at your lowest, Russell having just walked out like the four and a half years youâd spent together hadnât meant a damn thing to him. He had been it for you. You had put everything you had into the relationship, which proved to be a difficult balancing act sometimes between your career at the Bureau and Russellâs job that he wouldnât tell you too much about. You both had overcome so much togetherâŚall for him to tell you that he simply didnât love you anymore, give you a shitty apology, and walk right out the door years later. Like you had simply been an amusing distraction, nothing more. Like you had merely been a stopping point in his journey and now he was bored and moving on. The breakup wouldâve hurt regardless but the cold detached manner heâd spoken to you with caused more pain than you would have ever been willing to admit. It was a good thing you had already become a Special Agent by then, not stuck to any one location or field office, given how often you were hungover for some weeks there. You had attempted to track him down (which hadnât been easy) to try to talk to him, to make him see reason; you didnât believe that he had stopped loving you just like that. But when you had finally located him, he had been holed up in a dingy motel, similar to this one, but he wasnât alone. That had hurt beyond words and it had taken everything for you not to say anything, not to let him see you, and turn back around, heading home with your tail between your legs and your head hanging in heartbroken defeat.Â
None of it made sense to you. How had your life changed so drastically in a single day? Perhaps you had never really known Russell Shaw. Perhaps you only saw what he wanted you to see. But when you replayed the last few weeks of your relationship, even the fight over Colter, something still wasnât jiving. So you buried yourself in work during the day and as deep into the bottle as you could during the late nights. Until they showed up.
âAnd you said yes?â He asked in disbelief.
Your eyes flicked to Russell, narrowing. âWhy not? You did.â
He pressed his lips together. You had him there and he knew it. âThat was different.â
âHow?â You snapped. âExactly how is that different, Russell?â
âI joined them long before you and I met.â Yeah, you knew that now. You knew everything he hadnât told you the time youâd been together, minus the actual details of the off the books missions he went on. You now knew why Doug had never told Tracy anything either. Not only were they not allowed to, but It was safer that way.
âWell, bully for you, Shaw. Youâve got a few years on me at being a black ops agent and youâve racked up a few more bodies than I have. Told way more lies, too. Congrats. Do we get you a cake orâŚ?â
He leaned forward, covering your hand with his. âStop. JustâŚtalk to me,â he pleaded gently.
You hated it when he did that because you hated that it still affected you on some deep level. You rolled your eyes and moved your hand from underneath his, placing it in your lap. âThey approached me about six months out from when you left.â
âWho approached you?â
Yeah, you werenât giving him that. If you did, you knew heâd be on their doorstep in a second and that you couldnât have. Not after you had just cleaned up the Solano mess and smoothed things over. âDoesnât matter.â
âIt does to me.â You knew that, could see it in his expression, but too bad. You both were in it now, had signed NDAâs, and details like that were meant to stay confidential anyway.Â
âSomeone did and thatâs all you're getting.â You gave him a meaningful look. âRegardless, they offered me a job and I took it.â
You watched as Russellâs features tightened. âAnd the FBI thing?â
âStill active, though Iâm now kept more as an ear to the ground, providing information and cleanup when need be.â You noticed a slight wince cross across his face. âTheyâre the ones I answer to and theyâve chosen to keep me there for the time being. Iâm more effective in that setup.â Those words from your handler still burned you but over time, you had been able to adapt and utilize their refusal to fully bring you in to your advantage.
âAnd Solano and his men? Were they cleanup?â
You didnât break away from his penetrating gaze and gave it to him straight. âYou and Doug made quite a mess of things. So, yes, I was called in to clean it up.â He briefly closed his eyes in the same pain you had seen earlier, though you couldnât fathom why. It had been nearly three years since heâd last professed to give a shit about you. Why would this even affect him? âHorizon wanted you kept clean and Doug was on his own. Then you idiotically showed up at Annâs residence, not only tipping them off to the fact that you were sniffing around where you shouldnât have been but then you allowed Colter to threaten them. You had to know that was going to ruffle quite a few feathers and put a target on your backs.â
His jaw clenched again and that dark void was back in his gaze. His fingers twitched near his phone and you knew he was itching to call his brother to check on him. âAnd they sent you to clean that up, too?â
You slowly shook your head. âNo.â If they had, you wouldnât be sitting here right now. Most likely, youâd be dead while Colter and Russell would hopefully be on the run or have gone into hiding. âOnly to assess what threats you both posed to the organization.â
âAnd what was your assessment?â He watched you carefully. In this moment, you werenât former lovers. You were two people with lethal skills and training, willing to do whatever it took to keep your loved ones safe, even from each other.Â
You never broke away from his gaze, watching him back just as carefully. âWhat do you think?â
He stayed quiet for a moment, looking pensive and most likely turning your words over in his mind. You werenât going to say it but knowing that gnawing feeling of constantly worrying about someone you cared deeply about, you wanted to make sure you both were on the same page of this topic. âAnd, Russell, if they had sent me for that, I never would.â His gaze immediately met yours. âEver,â you promised.Â
His eyes roamed over your face, most likely assessing if you were bullshitting him or telling the truth. Obviously having decided on the latter, after a minute or so, he gave you a nod. âHow do you know they accepted your assessment, though? Thereâs no way they donât know about you and Colter, you and meâŚâ
This time, your jaw was the one clenching. Yeah, you were made aware of that fact when you had been approached for recruitment. That was how they knew about you, your career as a Federal agent, and how you had been involved with Russell once upon a time. When you found out more about Horizon from the inside, it didnât surprise you one bit how deeply they dove into the background of their candidates or the amount of information they gathered on them. Youâd even helped put together a few files yourself, without fully knowing what unit the candidates were being considered for of course. They kept a close watch on their assets and that was putting it lightly.Â
So when you got involved with Russell, completely oblivious to what you were really getting into, Horizon had already scoped you out as well as Colter, Dory, their mother, Bobby, Reenie, Teddi, Velma â everyone. Even Colterâs on-again/off-again, Billie, and the mysterious circumstances of the death of the boysâ father. They knew it all. Horizon didnât like surprises and you supposed you couldnât blame them considering their line of work, but it also meant that you and everyone you cared about needed to be extra careful.Â
It was one of the many reasons you couldnât completely forgive Russell, though you now understood why heâd walked out when he did. Things had unraveled so badly between you that youâd started quietly digging into Horizon, not trusting what Russell had told you prior. Back then, you thought youâd find only what Russell had claimed: private security, perhaps a couple of Special Ops situations where an American hostage was retrieved in another country, or worse: he was lying to you and having an affair. Now, you knew he had told you the truth â a very scrubbed, limited version of the truth that omitted most of what he really did for the outfit. You remembered what heâd told you about a week and a half before he left.Â
âYou need to stop digging.âÂ
You looked upon him with confusion. One minute, you had been having a very tense and silent dinner where you could only hear forks scraping against the plates every so often, and the next, Russell was glaring over at you, speaking cryptically. âWhat are you talking about?â
âYou know exactly what Iâm talking about. You need to stop looking into Horizon and leave it alone. I mean it, Y/N. Let it be.â His eyes bored into you with warning before he got up from the table and took his plate into the kitchen, leaving you to finish your meal alone.   Â
Normally, you wouldnât have listened, determined to get to the bottom of Russellâs mysterious employer, but considering how your relationship was hanging by a thread at that point, you did. Despite the warning bells going off in your head, you did as exactly as he said: you let it be.Â
You suddenly remembered Russellâs question to you. âYouâre still breathing, arenât you?â
Russell affected a slow nod, thinking it over. âAnd Colter?â
âI told them heâs no threat,â you murmured. âI talked to him, told him to forget they exist. He agreed as long as you were safe.â
For the first time since this conversation started, you could see Russell start to relax a bit, relief saturating his features. Even a small smile started to light up the tension in his face. While you could understand the feeling, share it even, something about it had you on your feet, walking over to the small refrigerator and pulling out a bottle of water from the six pack you had tossed in there when you booked the room. You held one up in an offer but Russell shook his head.Â
âIâm good.â
You shrugged, unsurprised, and twisted off the cap, taking a drink. It made sense that he was still being cautious. Before you knew it, though, he was standing in front of you, that pleading yet determined look in his eyes again.Â
âI want to get you out.â
You snorted. âThere is no getting out, Russell. Not for me, anyway. Not until theyâre done with me.â
He took a step closer and gently took the water bottle from you, placing it on the counter, and grasped your chin, forcing you to look up at him. âThereâs always an exit strategy,â he murmured. âI never wanted this for you, Y/N. I only ever wanted to keep you safe. Thatâs why I left.â
Yeah, you knew that now, too. âI know that now. Why you wouldnât tell me certain things about your job, but, Jesus, Russell. Did you really think they didnât already know about me and who I was to you? Colter even? Dory? Your mom?â
He let out a deep sigh and hung his head, letting your chin go. âI know. I⌠It was a good fit for me at the time, the money was good â thatâs why I hooked Doug up with them. But seeing how they hung him out to dry at the first opportunity and now you,â He tenderly ran his thumb along your cheek. âIâm seriously starting to rethink that decision.â
You pulled away from him. âIt doesnât matter. You canât unring that bell.â You made your way back over to the bed and yanked your duffel bag from underneath it. You unzipped it and began rooting through it to make sure you had everything you needed for a quick getaway. You didnât think you needed to go anywhere but now this location was blown for you since you had made the decision to let Russell know about it. You had already triple checked your stash when you left it here upon check-in but you needed something to focus on instead of the clear regret in Russellâs face. âAnd as for me, I made my decision.â You pulled out a gun from a secret compartment, checked the clip to make sure it was full, and slipped it back inside. âIâm good with it. Iâve used it fully to my advantage and I make good money, more than I was ever going to make at the Bureau, even if they fast-tracked me to Deputy Director. Solano was on our Most Wanted List for twenty six days and I took him out in one. Had he possibly gone free, thereâs no telling what he would have done, who he would have hurt besides Doug.â You knew exactly what he would have done and who he would have hurt; heâd told you in explicit detail. You didnât go into it but Russell wasnât stupid (not when it came to things like this anyway). He most likely knew as well. Heâd wanted to close up Solano as a loose end himself after all. âThat kind of cleanup I can more than live with.â
Russell carefully approached, his eyes on the second gun you had pulled out and were checking. âI get that and I more than appreciate what you did with Solano. For Doug, for Colter and me.â Once you slipped the weapon back into its pocket, he laid a hand on your shoulder, prompting you to look over at him. âYou canât tell me, though, that this is what you want for your endgame. Not really.â
You shook your head in disbelief. âI donât have an endgame, Russell. Maybe I did once but you took that the second you walked out the door, acting like everything weâd gone through meant nothing to you, like I meant nothing to you.âÂ
There was that remorse again and you despised it. âIâm sorry, IâŚhandled that badly,â he admitted.
âHandled it badly?â You laughed in disbelief. You shirked his hand off of you and moved to the night table, yanking the drawer open to rip out the bible sitting in there. You opened it to the area you had cut out to hold emergency cash and cards, just like Russell had taught you once upon a time. âYou told me Iâd been nothing to you but a fling for the past four years, that you might have loved me once but you didnât anymore. That I wasâŚhow did you put it? A fun distraction.â You slammed the bible shut and tossed it back into the drawer before closing it. You hurried back over to the bag, throwing the funds inside another secret compartment, more than done with this conversation.
âYouâre right, I fucked up. I only said those things toââ
âCut the cord, yeah, I know. Still doesnât make it right,â you muttered, roughly zipping the duffel back up.Â
âI wanted you to be safe. You were digging into them, even after I told you not to! And worse, you were pulling Colter into it!â
That quickly got your attention and you spun on your heel, jabbing a finger in the air at him. âDonât you fucking dare lay Colter at my feet. Especially after what you just pulled last week. It wasnât me hauling him into Dougâs case! Not to mention, way before you met me, the minute you took that job, you put everyone you knew on their radar and you know it! So donât you fucking dare. I have been doing everything I can to make sure Colter is safe and doesnât pull their attention, poring over every case he takes in the background to ensure theyâre not involved or have any vested interests that are. Hell, I even just used a contact of mine to float a case over to Teddi and Velma to get him out of town and far away from here to continue keeping him safe. Me, Russell! Me! And what did you do to keep him safe? You blow back into town and not only put him even more on their radar, you deliver him right to their goddamn doorstep! So donât you dare even try to put that on me,â you finished in a snarl.Â
Shame lurked at the corners of his eyes and you scoffed in disgust, whirling around to grab your jacket from the bed before picking up the duffel bag and slinging the handle over your shoulder. âSo glad we had this talk,â you sniped. âNow go have fun with the cheerleading dental hygienist or Reenie,â You could see more shame looking back at you. Unlike the hot tub conquest, Colter had actually told you about that one. You could tell how much it was bothering him and you knew he wouldnât have mentioned it otherwise, knowing it wasnât something you really wanted to hear. âOr that bartender you holed up with three weeks after you walked out on me,â Now you could see surprise; you could care less. âOr whoever you want. But me? Iâm done. Have a nice life, Russell Shaw, and try not to get killed before you get out to start your little brewery operation. Oh, and try to manage not to get your brother or me killed in the process, yeah? Thanks ever so much. See ya.âÂ
You were walking towards the door when you were grabbed and whipped around. Before you could react, Russell was on you, his mouth covering yours and his hands gripping your face. âI love you,â he breathed against your lips after breaking away to let you catch your breath. âIâm sorry I said what I did back then but it wasnât the truth. It took everything I had to walk away but as long as you were safe, that was all that mattered to me. I fucked up and I am sorry. I never stopped loving you, Y/N. Not ever.âÂ
He wiped at your cheeks and you hadnât even realized youâd been crying. Shit. Well, that was embarrassing. Even more embarrassing was how much you wanted to believe him. You knew he was telling the truth about why he walked away, how he wanted to keep you safe, but it obviously hadnât been as difficult for him to move on as it had been for you. âNo, you donât,â you choked out. âIf that were true, you would have never walked out that door.â Your voice wobbled on those last few words and you hated it, hated how vulnerable you were being to him right now.
You wiped at your own cheeks and turned around, ignoring the pleading you saw once again in his eyes.Â
âY/N, please,â he ground out.
You kept moving towards the door. As you laid your hand on the door handle to turn it, you were whipped around one more time and he was kissing you yet again, your back pressed up against the wood. Except this time, you finally threw in the towel and gave in to what your damaged heart had been wanting all of this time. You buried your fingers in his hair and kissed him back just as passionately, not caring that more tears rolled down your cheeks as you did. He yanked the duffel bag from you and let it fall into a heap on the floor before lifting you up and turning to carry you over to the bed. You knew this was going to hurt like hell later but you refused to put a stop to it. Youâd find a way to numb the pain when it ripped you open a second time, just like you always had.Â
The only thought running through your mind as he laid you down and ripped your blouse open, sending buttons flying everywhere, was that you had been right. You knew the bastard had been lying earlier when youâd caught him looking between you and the bed. But right then as he lifted away from you to quickly shed his top layers and then dove back down to kiss you again and melt into you, your fingers greedily relearning every inch of his bare skin, you couldnât care less.  Â
You reached your hand over, tenderly running a finger along the edges of the bandage on Russellâs arm. âDoes it hurt?â You murmured.
âA little.â He turned his head to smile down at you. âMore than worth it, though.â
You rolled your eyes, ignoring his chuckle at you gently pushing his head away, and turned onto your back. Russell embraced you with his other arm, pulling you into him. You rested your ear against his bare chest, hearing his steady heartbeat and settling your gaze on the ceiling above you. He pressed a kiss to your head, letting his lips linger against your hair, as his thumb rubbed your shoulder back and forth.
After a few minutes of content silence between you, you put voice to the question resounding in your mind. âHow did we get here, Russell?â
âWell, you drove us over and then weââ
You softly swatted his chest, making him laugh and hearing the sound reverberate underneath your ear. âYou know what I mean.â
âI wish I knew the best way to answer that, â he whispered to you. You could hear the genuine regret in his tone and it made you start thinking about when you both would have to leave this motel room, and go back to the separate lives you had been living. Memories of lazy mornings like this back when you had been together, of you listening to his voice in your ear and knowing you were safe and loved, replayed in your mind on a loop. You would never admit it to him but you missed this, missed him. Nothing had felt right in the last couple of years like this moment here did. If anything, all of that time felt like some weird drug-induced nightmare, and you had just woken up to find Russell here next to you, nothing having changed. But that wasnât true; everything had changed.
Not wanting to think about that just yet, you picked up the hand that had been caressing your shoulder and studied the skin of his wrist. âThis is new.â You trailed your finger along the design of the tattoo sitting there. âWhat prompted you to get this one?â
âThatâs something Doug and I got one night when we met up with another one of the guys from our unit when he was in town. Tommy Laird. Good man.â
âA crown?â
Russell shrugged underneath you. âTommy picked the design.â
ââWe three kingsâ, huh?â
You heard him chuckle. âNever thought of it like that but sure.â
âIs he also a part of Horizon?â
You felt him tense underneath you at the mention of the dark and deadly elephant in the room. âNo. He, uh, he lives with his wife and three kids in North Carolina. They have a house in Cary and he went back to the family business when he got home.â
You nodded and pulled his wrist to you, placing your lips on his skin and tenderly kissing the middle of the design before letting him go. He hugged you closer to him and placed a kiss to your ear in turn, letting out what sounded like a contented sigh.Â
A moment later, he murmured. âI want to help get you out.â
You nearly rolled your eyes again. You wanted to ask him why he was dead set on thinking that you even wanted out. Perhaps the you he had known would want a way out, want something more out of life than money and secrets and cleanups, but you had changed a lot in the last three years. But you knew if you posed that question, it would shatter the cocoon you currently found yourselves in and you werenât ready for that to end just yet. So instead, you reminded him of another angle of the truth. âThatâs not possible. Not the way youâre thinking. You know that.â
âAnythingâs possible.â You nearly smiled at his response; there was the stubborn streak that sometimes infuriated you and sometimes endeared you to him, like right now. But you needed to make sure you maintained a reality check for the both of you. You knew what he was really thinking.
âEven if it was, we canât.â
His head lifted and he frowned down at you. âWhy not?â
âThis isnât some Mr. and Mrs. Smith shit. We donât get a happy ending,â you finished sadly, thinking back to the life you once shared together as you cupped his cheek and rubbed it gently with your thumb. âNot together. Itâs too dangerous.â You left it at that but you knew that he was more than aware of what you meant.Â
His frown intensified at your words and he covered your hand with his, turning to place a kiss into your palm. âWeâll work it out.â
âRuss,â you sighed.
He gently grasped your chin between his thumb and forefinger, looking into your eyes. âWeâll work it out,â he softly repeated, that glint of determination back in his gaze.Â
You decided once more that you wouldnât bother launching into the many reasons it actually wouldnât work out and you would refrain from popping that bubble he had just wrapped you both in. That moment would come later. But for now, you continued to keep silent.
When he noticed you werenât going to say anything, a mischievous smile began to form on that handsome face you loved. âYou know, I donât really have anything planned for today. How about you?â
Other than some paperwork you had to go over later, your day was pretty much free, too. Even if it hadnât been, you knew that look and after this morning, despite still having some unresolved anger with him, despite things that still needed to be said between you, you would have freed up your schedule immediately. âI donât think Iâll be missed for a while,â you teased.
He leaned in to kiss you, whispering to your lips, âOh, you were missed. Very much fucking missed.â The impishness you had heard a moment before was now absent but he never gave you a chance to respond. Instead, he kissed you deeply and began moving to cover your body with his once again. He maneuvered himself in between your thighs, your legs automatically coming up to gently cradle his hips. âYour arm,â you broke away to warn him.
âDonât care.â He lowered down to keep kissing you and surprisingly (or unsurprisingly perhaps), all was right in the world right then. You didnât allow yourself to get swept away by it or by the fantasy of something that would never be. Sadly, the time for you and Russell to be together had come and gone. Youâd had your chance and you both had blown it, with him starting you out of the gate. This right here, this was all that was left â like embers of a dying fire. You would always love him, you knew that (truthfully, you had always known it), but this was all you would ever have. Once you both walked out that door, you would be walking in separate directions, taking different paths in your lives, no matter what Russell would say.Â
But for right now, you allowed yourself to live in the moment, to enjoy it as he groaned into your mouth when your hand helped guide him to where you both wanted him to be. You held onto him as he began a slow movement within you, knowing you would need to take over again very soon when his left arm began to tremble. But until then you kept him close to you, drank deeply of him, and reveled in what the two of you had always managed to create together, content to keep Horizon and the rest of the world on the other side of the motel room door, if only for a moment longer.Â
A/N: I know I left some things open and unresolved. I wanted to do that to let this be a gateway to the continuing story in the short series coming titled "Closer". Please let me know if you would like to be tagged in the series.
