who's he?` hobie brown
warnings cats??, i didn't proofread so there's probably some mistakes lol, the n word is used once....twice... maybe three times, sexual tenison ig, shit talking ab white people LOL & that should be it... enjoy! also i don't know how british people talk soo he's american in this either hate it or love it. this is my first time writing after a while so feedback would be really appreciated.
based on the song "that's the way love goes" to some extent. was listening to it on repeat & got inspired.
and happy juneteenth to my fellow african americans!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
it's a beautiful monday afternoon. the blazing sun hitting my chocolate skin, the cool breeze kissing my cheeks making me feel relaxed. me and my friend grace decided to have picnic crowded park to celebrate juneteenth, something simple something cute.
"and my mom made these sandwiches for us." grace face lit up with a bright smile showing off the sandwiches that are wrapped in wax paper. "what kind of sandwiches are they?" i asked taking one from her hand.
"some vegetarian sandwich, my mom is on her healthy shit." she unwrapped the wax paper biting the sandwich immediately. "so what's going on with you? i haven't seen you in a while miss thing."
grace looks at me with engaging eyes. "nothing, i've been chilling that's all." i said lightly breaking eye contact. "nigga stop lying." grace yelled making people turn their heads to stare. "who's the boy?"
"there's no boy. i promi-" i got cut off by my phone ringing. me and grace both look at the contact name.
"hobie🫶"
"bitch who the fuck is hobie? and why did you put that emoji?" grace stares at the phone with a shocked face. "why are you assuming its a boy first of all, second of all i use the emoji for everyone i cherish."
"you don't have that emoji for me." i rolled my eyes. "it's not that big of deal i promise. he's just a friend." i grabbed my phone putting it on dnd. "bitch you fucking annoying." grace murmured.
"can you at least tell me about him? likeeee what does he look like.... how do you meet him?" grace asks. i shook my head. "nigga why not?" you can talk to me about anything else but this is where you draw the line?" i nodded taking a bite of my sandwich.
"oh my god! did you fuck him?" grace questions. my mouth open in shocked. "no i didn't fuck him! i literally just met him. grace please!" i unlocked my phone going straight to my camera roll to pull up a picture of him. "this is him." i said passing my phone to grace.
it was a picture of hobie and me at a cat café. his beautiful smile showing his pearly whites, the silver piercings making his face even more sexier and his thick stunning wicks.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
the four-legged animal purred underneath my hand as i softly pet it. "i want to adopt a cat so badly." i said breaking the silence between me and hobie. he looks at me and then the cat. "why? cats are evil."
"if cats are evil why did you agree on coming to a cat café with me?" i lifted an eyebrow looking at him. he smirks. "i needed an excuse to hang out with you." i blushed breaking eye contact.
"i don't know if this is a weird thing to say." i looked up at him admiring his face. so damn attractive...the things this man can do to me. "but white people are so fucking weird." he said snapping me out of thoughts.
silence...
we just looked at each other.
i busted out laughing scaring the poor innocent cat. "what made you say some shit like that hobie?" i asked and he just shrugged. "there was this white girl in my class that had the same last name as me." i paused to pet the cat calming it down. "and i just thought about her ancestors enslaving my people."
"is that a fucked up thing to think about?" i asked him as i played with the cat's tail. "yes." he said nonchalantly. we sat in silence but the silence was soothing and very comfortable.
the purring of the cat and the chatter of the customers filled in the silence. i felt him stare at me. making my heart start to pound against my chest. i then felt this hand start to stroke my thigh.
i looked at his hand then i looked at him.
"you good?" he asked in a mocking way. "mhmm." he smirked knowing i was in fact not good. "you wanna go to my place?" he squeezed my thigh. his cold rings leaving a mark on my thigh.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"he's cute." grace said grinning. "yea i know." i finished eating my sandwich wiping the crumbs off my mouth. "so he's not your boyfriend?" grace gave you back your phone. you shook your head.
"we are only friends."

karasuno boys as boyfriends
a/n: im just basically astral projecting myself into these situations; ALSO if you want more detailed ones, just ask, and you shall receive! (also this is my first post i’ve written on here! but if you want plenty of kpop content i’m @hyucksong where i’ve been writing and I am still active! :))
---
[KARASUNO BOYS AS BOYFRIENDS HEADCANNONS]
-tsukishima, yamaguchi, hinata, kageyama, tanaka, nishinoya, sugawara, daichi, and asahi
---
tsukishima kei.
the type to look you straight in your eyes when you ask for a hug and say “no, who do you think i am, your boyfriend?”
runs his hands through your hair from the front and then when his hand reaches the back of your head he pulls you into him and kisses you either on the forehead or the lips <3
in order to be in a relationship with him you HAVE to have the same type of humor.
i don’t think he could date someone who doesn’t make fun of people with him
you guys are like best friends who make fun of each other and. make out a little every once in a while
he’ll hold your hand and hug you in public but he will NEVER do anything else, especially not in front of the boys
he thinks the blush that ignites on your kissable cheeks should be for his eyes only
he gave you a keychain that had a cute little strawberry shortcake on it. and it’s your most prized possession 
will shoot a glare at anyone who watches you too closely. like no. don’t get googly eyed over MY girlfriend. 
and you don’t have a problem with that ;) 
yamaguchi tadashi.
he likes to watch you when you’re not looking to pick out the little habits you do
he thinks that knowing someone’s little hardly noticeable habits is one of the most intimate things on mother earth
he knows that you stir the milk in the bowl three times before you pour the cereal in to check for chunks because you accidentally drank spoiled milk when you were younger
NEVER has an issue getting you a gift for any occasion. he ALWAYS knows what you’re looking at and what you want and you lowkey think he can read your mind but in reality he just pays attention <3
you’re either just as shy as him to bring out his more assertive side or more assertive than he is to bring out his more timid side -- both are good
kisses you on the forehead and holds your hand in public -- he loves PDA because he can show you off :’)
yes. he kisses the back of your nape in public. so what. 
YES. HE CLOSES HIS EYES WHEN HE DOES IT AND ACCIDENTALLY INHALES YOUR SCENT AND WHISPERS IN YOUR EAR THAT YOU SMELL GOOD. IDC IF YOU THINK THAT’S CREEPY. IT’S CUTE. YES. HE GIVES YOU THAT LOOK THAT SAYS HE’S CRAZILY IN LOVE WITH YOU. SO WHAT.
kageyama tobio.
he probably fell in love with you because you were just as passionate about something else as he is about volleyball; music, drawing, writing, math, science, reading -- whatever
i see this relationship as being one that’s like...accelerated friends. like,,, you act like him and hinata except you kiss sometimes and he can see you at the end of the wedding aisle
DEFINITELY reads cosmopolitans once you start dating because he wants to be a good boyfriend for you <3
PDA is literally little to NONe,,, not because he doesn’t like it...it’s just because he doesn’t realize that he’s not showing you affection lololol
like in one arm he has his athletic duffel bag and the other he has a volleyball
he doesn’t mean to neglect you he just does AGAGAG
realized he liked you when he thought about you when he was drinking his milk and mindlessly bought you one too
the first time y’all kissed. he literally stared at you so intensely for a SOLID ten minutes debating in his head whether or not he should just go for it or wait or just smash his face into yours and hope your lips connect
he chose to cross his fingers and ended up smashing his forehead and nose into yours 
it was cute tho <3
hinata shoyo.
YALL HAVE DATES WHERE YOU BABYSIT HIS SISTER. WTF SO CUTE
when yall cuddle and you’re the little spoon he likes to put his head on your shoulder/between your neck and watch as you scroll through tiktok or instagram and just mindlessly talk about his day 
the type of boyfriend where neither of you can cook and you both confusedly look at recipes on google like: ????? wtf is the difference between brown sugar and regular sugar
it’s his INSTINCT to hold your hand. no matter what. his hand just...gravitates to yous.
AND HIS LIPS JUST FIND YOUR CHEEK??? like it’s so natural to him to kiss your cheek when he sees you, even in public. it’s so adorable i--
THE TYPE OF GUY TO WIPE OFF FOOD FROM THE CORNER OF YOUR MOUTH AND STILL EAT IT AND SAY “you taste good!~” AND NOT EVEN REALIZE WHAT HE SAID. BUT WHEN YOU DO IT TO HIM HE BLOWS A FUSE
he loves to tickle you. like you’ll be vibing, drinking whatever you drink in the morning and he’ll come up to you all casually and kiss you cheek...and then he’ll pounce 
he holds you close to his chest when he tickles you, partally because he likes feeling your laugh vibrate on his chest, and partially because it’s easier to not get tickled if he’s right behind you
his sister LOVes you and it just. makes him so happy
tanaka ryuunosuke.
you CANNOT remove his hand from your ass. it is permanently glued there. it is attached to you. yes, even in public.
number 1 hypeman! he will always support you, no matter what! you could be in a competition to raise the biggest beetle and he’ll be there rooting you on and staying up late with you as you rear your award-winning beetle
you two lay next to each other on the couch/on his bed and he’ll have his arm around you and you’ll lay your head on his chest as you watch netflix shows
YOU, NISHINOYA, AND TANAKA? UNSTOPPABLE TRIO. POWER TRIPLET. 
i don’t imagine him being shy when he first kisses you; the first time he kissed you, you were literally just. existing and he literally just...couldn’t hold it in...and he just went for it
literally CATAPULTS himself into you and kisses you senseless
yes you and saeko are besties she gives you ALL the tea about young tanaka
the type to take off his shirt more during practice if you’re there watching, and literally BURN red if you mention anything about his muscles
you once traced a vein in his arm and commented on how hot it was and he literally short-circuited 
kiss his biceps. kiss his abs. kiss his cheek. please. it’s all he wants. he’s touch-starved
nishinoya yuu.
SUCH an excited boyfriend
like he seriously gets so hype doing ANYTHING with you pleaSE give this man an award. you’ll be at the amusement park and the line to get into a ride will be three hours and he’ll be like
“I get to spend three hours with you?!! fucking sick! absolutely radical!” 
he’s bold in public, but only because he wants to rub you in his teammates faces, but his ears will be Red
at home, he’s calmer :) he just loves to spend time with you, even if you’re sitting on a bench watching him practice receives for five hours straight in the blazing sun. 
he just treasures your time so much, you treats you like a precious gem -- he will NEVER treat you wrong. deadass has no problem admitting when he’s wrong -- but if he thinks he’s right then he WILL stand his ground
he’s a passionate man, who loves just as passionately.
his favorite time to kiss you is after you’ve taken a sip of a soda because he likes the taste of the syrup and the burn of the carbonation, but most of all because he likes the taste of your lips in combination with all of them
NIPS AT YOUR EAR. DEADASS JUST LOOKS AT YOU BRUSH A PIECE OF HAIR BACK WHEN YOU’RE DOING HOMEWORK AND IS LIKE “free real estate” AND C H O MPS
the day nishinoya told everyone yall were dating, kiyoko stopped you in the hallway and deadass got on her knees and thanked you LITERALLY she was like “i’ll buy you anything. give the word and it’ll be yours.” 
sugawara koushi.
would kiss you on the first date. deadass. he’ll just drop you off at your doorstep and you’re still high on adrenaline, and you’re lowkey hoping he’ll kiss you and you get  little disappointed when he doesn’t and then when you least expect it. bam. his lips on yours
his smell oh god, he literally smells like fresh sugar cookies. it’s like as soon as you get anywhere near him his smell just invades you nose and. you’re powerless. you just wanna hug him
never smells bad. try me, bitch. NEVER.
his hugs are literally god’s gifts. he loves hugging you. he just completely envelopes you with his pretty setter arms and his smell takes up all the space in your head and nothing else exists for that moment, just you two
loves tucking your hair behind your ears or just moving it out of your face; doing homework and your bangs are in the way? not for long because he’ll clip them up for you <3
he’s pretty mischievous and will playfully put his hand next to your head and lean down with such a HOT look in his eyes 
and he’ll say some shit like “i wanna devour you” and then he’ll laugh afterwards and give you a kiss on the forehead and you’re standing there. like -.- o.o -.- o.o
whenever he feels insecure about his position on the team, you’re always there to comfort him and he’ll just lay between your legs and rest his face on your stomach as you comb your fingers through his hair and scroll through tiktok
PDA? yes please. uh huh. mhmm. he doesn’t care who sees his love for you he just wants to love on you baby. kisses you on the lips, no problemo
daichi sawamura.
you and suga are the only ones who can scare him when yall are mad lol
boyfriend where you’ve dated for like a year but it feel like 50 have already passed. in a good way!
this relationship is so ungodly domestic. like from the first day it’s just pure comfort and he’s like your rock and you’re his anchor
you two bicker a lot but it’s lighthearted and you just feel so secure with him that poking fun at him and at yourself is just natural
daichi. gives. god. hugs. he does. it’s fact. 
his arms are just so big and he has so much body warmth and he probably smells like some bullshit cologne like “smoldering woods” and it’s just so. daichi
you two spend the night at each other’s house so often it’s like you already live with each other and people always forget that you don’t lolol
totally sleeps with his shirt off and only with underwear. isn’t awkward about it either;  when he wakes up he puts on sweats but still remains topless (not that you’re complaining)
you two are like. the strict parental couple, when you walk together whether it be down the street or in the hallways, you just look so right for each other it’s. mind blowing
doesn’t mind kissing you a little in public but really thinks that stuff should be for private; so normally he just kisses your temple and always has an arm either around your shoulder or around your waist
WHEN THE TEAM SEES YOU KISS ON THE LIPS THEY GO “EW” EVEN SUGA AND ASAHI AFIEFHEWIF
asahi azumane.
literal fucking teddy bear. god please cuddle him. please kith him. please comb through his hair with your fingers and kiss his nape and kiss the back of his head. please i beg of you.
did NOT ask you out first. he wrote love letter to you and then waiting behind the gym because he thought being near the volleyball gym would give him some luck and them you got in front of him and he was. deer in the headlights
needless to say you asked him out and kissed his cheek. he DIED
even once yall are comfortable in the relationship he still needs reassurance every once in a while because he’s a little insecure, not that you’ll leave him for someone else, but that he’s not good enough
his PDA skill are. subpar. he usually just holds your hand and that’s it, but sometimes kisses the corner of your eye or nose and you just combust
OH RIOGEH TOTALLY DOES BUTTERFLY AND BUNNY KISSES. YES GOD YESSSSS
when yall cuddle he doesn’t like spooning. he likes to be able to see your face and the expressions you make, so doesn’t like being the little or big spoon; yall face each other and just lets your head lay on his arm even tho it’s numb. im: soft
kisses are so sweet, slow, and hesitant. he doesn’t really kiss you often because he has terrible timing but...when he does it’s like the whole world just becomes still in that moment and nothing matters but his hands on your waist and yours in his hair

home workout | bokuto koutarou x gn!reader
“i’d let you do- do anything. anything you wan’ to me. i’m yours. all- all,” his voice raised a few octaves as the inside of your thighs brushed past his cockhead, “yours. all yours.”
Tumblr media
warnings: 18+, sub!bokuto, jealous!reader (i mean who wouldn’t be when bokuto, your goddamn boyfriend, is perceived by other people the fuck), also lowkey possessive!reader, lotsa licking and sucking, nipple play, some praise (from reader) and some begging, brief mention of dacryphilia, kinda soft at the end
w/c: 1.5k sheesh
a/n: bokuto brainrot has me in literal tears. him being completely clueless to people flirting w him cus he doesn’t recognize romance from anyone but you has me so soft. i luv this man w my whole heart !!!!! ALSO THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE ON THE BAKUGO FIC I JUST ABOUT SHIT MY PANTS WOOWWOWO
Tumblr media
you weren’t an idiot. you knew that your boyfriend was attractive in literally every aspect of the word. he was sweet, patient, and kind, and what he lacked in academic smarts was made up tenfold in his emotional maturity and ability to read people. big and beefy, bokuto was all yours and all you wanted to stay trapped within his arms forever. unfortunately, to maintain the figure you adored so much and stay in shape for the volleyball season, he had to leave the four walls of your shared bedroom far more than you liked, having a daily obligation to spend a few hours at the gym.
once again, you weren’t an idiot. the few times that your work schedule and his training schedule aligned, you’d been able to work out together. and despite your knowledge of just how good-looking bokuto was and the fact that other people could perceive him (much to your chagrin) you were shocked at just how much people shamelessly flirted with him. 
cute girls with matching leggings and sports bras practically clung to his biceps, gushing about how strong he was and how he could probably pick them up with just one hand. their incessant giggling, mesmerizing hair twirling, and teasing touches pissed you off to no end, and you’d tug your boyfriend away before their breasts got too close to him for your liking.
something else you noticed was that, no matter how blatantly obvious the girls seemed to be, the guys were somehow worse, flirting through terms you couldn’t even understand. they compared deadlift weights, bicep curls, hip thrusts; you gritted your teeth thinking about whether they’d ever compared cock sizes in the locker room—you wouldn’t put it past those thirsty gym rats. sneaky bastards.
and bokuto, of course, was oblivious to it all. how could you blame him—he was so used to being adored! you knew that, to him, all of their praises paled in comparison to yours, but you couldn’t help but feel jealous. he was all yours—should be all yours—and you hated sharing him with the world.
you woke up saturday morning with a ringing in your ears, hand smacking the nightstand trying to turn off that god-awful alarm noise, bleary eyes barely able to focus on the text notification from your boyfriend.
[5:33 AM] kou: gm babe!!!! i didnt wanna wake u up cus u looked so peaceful! im heading to the gym rn. text me when ur up! love uu
[5:34 AM] kou: should be home around 9!! gym bud wants to show me something so i might be a little late for breakfast.
just to reiterate, you weren’t an idiot. for all the annoying flirting you noticed when you were with bokuto, there was no doubt in your mind that there must be a lot more when he was at the gym alone, which, unluckily for you, was most of the time since he was a freakin’ pro athlete and all.
you couldn’t prevent the pool of envy from swirling in your gut. gym bud? are you serious? who could that be? the girl with the arm tat or the dude with the dreads? no, maybe its that yoga instructor with the ass—
you shook your head, clearing your brain. you’d be here for hours if you went through everyone at that stupid gym that had ever shown interest in bokuto. the clock read 9:53 AM and the green flame in your body only burned brighter. just as you were about to call him and ask where he was, the front door slammed open.
“babe! i’m home!”
you silently put your phone down, teeth still clenching in jealousy. for some reason, hearing his voice only exacerbated the tension in your shoulders. you needed him. now.
“babe?” his voice creeped closer as he tread through the hallway towards the room. “you up?”
you peeked your head out of the doorframe, cheery voice masking your devilish intentions, “kou!"
his eyes brightened as he made eye contact with you and flashed his trademark smile. “hey! what’s u-” he took in the mischievous glint in your eyes “-p?”
you grabbed his burly forearm, yanking him behind you and walking towards him, forcing him to stumble and fall back on the bed. “wait! i’m all gross and sweaty,” he said, “gym showers were broke-”
“i don’t care. take off your shirt.”
“wow, someone’s eager. missed me that much?”
“watch it,” you glared. “i’m not in the mood, kou.”
he gulped at the dominance radiating from your voice, scrambling to take off the t-shirt that stretched between his pecs perfectly. with the fabric off and throw haphazardly to the side, he looked to you expectantly, the epitome of innocence.
your eyes wandered over his sculpted chest, the remnants of a soft sheen of sweat from his workout making it shine in the sunlight pouring through the blinds. your heart stuttered in your chest—he looked like an angel. coupled with the way with his bottom lip was tucked under his front teeth and the wide, anticipating look in his eyes, fuck. you almost smiled how blessed you felt in that moment, to see him in such a raw, alluring position, before a jarring thought caused your lips to twitch back into a frown.
everyone else can see him, too.
your eyes hardened. maybe they can see him all big and strong, you thought, but they’ll never get to see him like this: submissive.
and so fucking sensitive.
within an instant, your lips were latched on the soft spot above his collarbone, causing him to whimper in pleasure. you continued to travel along his throat, slowly working your way to the other side of his neck and crossing back to nibble at his adam’s apple.
you unexpectedly pulled away, drawing a short whine from him, before repositioning yourself so that you were straddling his outstretched legs. slowly, starting from the hem of his shorts, you dragged your tongue between the ridges of his abs, moving up towards his pecs, tasting the saltiness of his sweat and feeling the muscles tense underneath.
“fuck,” he groaned. as your lips puckered around one of his peaked nipples, he uncontrollably jerked his hips up, inadvertently rubbing his sensitive cock between your legs. overwhelmed by the sensation, he moaned. “fuck.”
“you taste good,” you muttered, grazing your teeth over his other nipple. “just wanna taste you all the time. you’d let me, right?”
thoughts muddled by just how good everything felt, he nodded mindlessly. “i’d let you do- do anything. anything you wan’ to me. i’m yours. all- all,” his voice raised a few octaves as the inside of your thighs brushed past his cockhead, “yours. all yours.”
you paused. raising your head from his chest, you made eye contact with him, so intense he almost closed his eyes to shield himself from the blaze burning in your dilated pupils. “why’d you stop,” he begged, “i want more. feels so good and i wan’ mor-”
“say it again,” you demanded. “tell me that you’re mine.”
his eyes, glossed over and prickled with tears precariously close to falling, squeezed tightly as he spoke, unable to control the growing volume of his voice. “’m all yours. always. all yo- yours.” he gasped as you resumed your movements, pinching the sensitive skin around his v-line while fervently leaving sloppy kisses on his chest. 
“good boy.”
he keened at your praise. another light touch to his cock combined with the passage of your mouth had him trembling, and his breath hitched as he cried out in warning, tears now flowing freely over his flushed cheeks. “m’ gonna cum, ‘m gonna, gonna cum.”
“yeah?” you whispered, lips brushing against his strained abs. “go ahead then.”
“fuck!” he whined, blabbering as you sat back and watched in awe of the beauty before you, a big strong man like him reduced to nothing more than a moaning mess. “fuck, fuck—you always make me feel so, s-so go-od, fuck i love you.”
with soaked shorts and an exhausted sigh, he dropped his head back onto the plush comforter of the bed. you flattened your palms on his quivering body, reeling from the aftershocks of his orgasm. he panted, running his fingers through your hair before nudging your face to look at him, staring at you with an expression of pure bliss and adoration. he studied you for a bit before declaring with a soft smile, “you’re the best. so fuckin’ happy that i’m yours.”
driven by affection, he sat up and reached his arms around your waist, snuggling his chin over your shoulder and mashing your chests, yours clothed and his naked, together. “kou wait!” you shrieked. “you’re all sweaty again! it’s gross!”
he chuckled. as if you hadn’t been spoiling him by licking it up just a few minutes ago. “you’re right. i‘m probably sweating more now than i was after my workout.”
at that, your ears perked up. “well maybe you should do home workouts more often then,” you teased.
“you’re right,” he repeated with a grin, “maybe i should.” if it meant more mornings like these, he’d forego the gym in a heartbeat. 
that night, he canceled his gym membership. after all, he reasoned, it’s offseason anyway.

Hungry Eyes
(Gally x Reader)
Requested by the incredible @ultraintrovertedgryffindor 💯 This is a little more heated than all the other imagines I’ve written so far. No smut though! So if you’re not into that kind of stuff, don’t worry, it isn’t actually in there. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
For the life of you, you could not focus on your work. As hard you as you tried to keep your attention on what you were supposed to be doing, it was proving to be an immensely difficult task. The surplus of weeds at your feet with their urgent need to be plucked didn’t stand a chance against something much, much more interesting, just across the glade…
You leaned against your shovel as your gaze, for the umpteenth time in the past twenty minutes, traveled all the way to the builders. Well… one builder, in particular. Your builder.
A familiar warmth encompassed your abdomen with an unsurprising quickness as your eyes landed on Gally.
It has been an especially hot day, the blazing sun making more than a few gladers positively miserable as it made trudging through their workload that much more challenging. The builders seemed to be affected most of all. At some point Gally had slipped out of his shirt, and now, all you could do was watch, with bated breath and skipping heartbeat, as he lugged around massive hunks of wood like they weighed nothing to him.
Gally’s strength never ceased to amaze you. It was something you were sure you would marvel at until the end of time. Of course, his job as the Keeper of the builders demanded a certain amount of physical superiority, but holy shuck, was it something to leave your jaw hanging.
You stared, rather indiscreetly, as Gally’s mouth-watering torso glistened in the sunlight, damp beads illuminating his skin and making it appear as though he was sweating diamond dust. His impressive muscles were on full display, tensing and flexing, the prominent indents of his abs pulling your gaze in like magnets. His burly arms were also nearly impossible to look away from. A small grin crawled onto your lips as you recalled the way those same arms encompassed you in the bed of your shared hut, just earlier that morning. Your boyfriend looked absolutely breath-taking, and the exquisite sight you were currently being gifted with left you frozen, longing, and maybe just a little dazed. If you were to suddenly feel dizzy, it definitely wouldn’t be from the sun. The heat was notable, sure, but it was easy to ignore as your body was pervaded with a heat of a different kind.
“Oh, pick it up, would you?”
Newt’s slightly annoyed British lilt momentarily brought you out of your trance as you snapped your head towards him, returning back to earth. Although, you couldn’t deny, a part of you was somewhat discontent with being returned.
“Pick what up?” Your forehead scrunched in confusion as you peered at your friend.
“Your jaw. And your bloody dignity, for that matter.” Newt scoffed, a thoroughly amused grin dancing on his lips as he had clearly caught you gawking at Gally.
Just a few weeks ago, you would’ve been so embarrassed by that, you’d turn redder than the tomatoes growing in the garden, but ever since you and Gally got together, you have been feeling increasingly less bothered by these things. Why should you feel embarrassed for looking at what was rightfully yours?
You merely gave a small shrug at Newt’s teasing comment, an unapologetic grin tugging at the corner of your mouth “It’s my boyfriend. And I’ll stare if I want to.”
Newt released a hoot of laughter, seemingly not having expected you so casually brushing it off “Oh, alright! And what happens if he catches you?”
Your grin only widened, your stomach bubbling with an involuntary spark of excitement at the thought “I’m sure he’ll be nothing short of thrilled.”
Your twinkling gaze darted towards Gally once again… Only this time, your eyes met.
Your heart jumped up to your throat, your breath halting in your airways as your boyfriend stood tall, hands propped up on his hips while he looked right back at you from his working area, his piercing bluish-green eyes narrowed with palpable interest.
Clearly he had noticed you blatantly checking him out as a borderline cocky smirk etched his lips. Now, that has always been effective in bringing a blush to your cheeks. You bit your bottom lip as you accepted the wordless challenge and didn’t look away, instead responding with a playful grin of your own.
Gally chuckled, purposely flexing his abdomen and sending you a tantalizing wink, causing your cheeks to burn hotter. He knew what he was doing to you, and he was enjoying every second. He loved getting you all flustered, and you, with your pounding heart and pink-tinged skin, made it so easy for him.
Your gaze trailed over his chiseled bare chest, the heat swarming your body beginning to feel more like an ache. The urge to stride right over to Gally, throw your arms around him, pull him close and kiss him senseless, was beginning to cloud your mind… However, it was at that moment that Newt deliberately cleared his throat, forcing you to tear your eyes away from your boyfriend.
Okay, okay, enough of that, for now. You needed to get at least some work done. As yummy as your keeper looked at the moment, you didn’t want your friend getting mad at you for being too distracted.
“Sorry, Newt. I’m back. Promise!” You chuckled, internally commanding your flushed state to simmer down, the blush on your cheeks gradually dispersing, along with the foggy feeling over your head.
“You better be.” Newt shook his head “As fascinating as it is to watch Gally get you riled up from across the glade, I’m not doing all the work by myself.” He stated with an underlying scold, making you feel just a tiny bit of remorse.
“Well, I can’t always help it…” You muttered under your breath, returning your focus to the weeds you needed to pull. The thought of seeing Gally at lunch, in about an hour, graced your lips with a smile. Knowing him, he would have plenty to say to you, after what had just transpired…
-later-
The Lunch bell had rung, calling all the gladers to come grab something to eat, and you were about to make your way over to Frypan’s shack. You were finally done with this one row of carrots, falling slightly behind Newt, who had already left a few minutes prior.
You pulled yourself up from your crouching position, stretching your back and brushing the dirt off of your hands, when you suddenly squeaked, a pair of muscular arms, strong like tree trunks, wrapped themselves around your waist.
“Hey!!” Your surprised cry melted into melodic laughter as you turned your head to your captor.
Gally was grinning from ear-to-ear as he pulled you close from behind, your back pressing fully against his still bare torso, making you feel the heat radiating off of his skin.
“Hey yourself!” He chuckled, promptly dipping his head into your sensitive neck and peppering it with multiple kisses. It tickled a bit, but the feeling absolutely delighted you, as you slightly tilted your head back against his shoulder. You could feel his lips grinning against your delicate skin as he pressed a final peck to your pulse point and drew back, catching your gaze with his “Did you enjoy the show earlier?”
Of course he would lead with that. You hadn’t had a single doubt. Nonetheless, you pursed your lips, feigning confusion and batting your eyes at him. A picture of innocent cluelessness.
“Hmm? What show, my keeper? I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
Gally playfully rolled his eyes, giving your waist a mischievous squeeze “You sure about that? Because I think you know exactly what I’m talking about.”
You hummed, furrowing yours brows as you imitated deep thought before shaking your head “Nope. I’m totally stumped. Not a clue.”
Gally huffed, his openly flirtatious grin unfaltering “Really? So you weren’t staring at me while I was working my ass off under the scorching sun?”
You swallowed a giggle, your clueless expression paving to a little smirk, a fiery glint flickering in your eyes. Fine, you could admit to it. But that didn’t mean you would succumb to his teasing. He’d seen enough of your blushing cheeks for one day.
You feigned a dramatic gasp, pretending to be shocked and mortified “Oh no! You saw that? I thought I had been so subtle…”
Gally squeezed you tighter, holding you so close that you could feel his heart thumping against your back “Didn’t really look like you were trying to be.”
You grinned at him, his captivating eyes nearly making you forget that anything else existed around you “On second thought, maybe I wasn’t.”
Gally hummed in satisfaction. Good answer. Sometimes he still couldn’t believe your were his, and the fact that you were made him feel like the luckiest shank in the glade. His heart leapt every time you melted into him, every time you responded to his teasing with matching energy, every time you showcased that you were just as happy to be his as he was to be yours. Each loving and yearning gaze you sent his way, each brush of your fingers over his skin, each hypnotising kiss you two shared… all of it was electrifying to him, addictive, like sugar.
He cupped your chin in between his two fingers, gently pulling your face closer to his and capturing your lips in a searing kiss.
You softly moaned against his mouth as you readily kissed him back, just like you had been waiting to do all morning. Your arm reached up and wound itself behind his neck, drawing him in more and being rewarded with an approving grunt from his throat. Gally’s kisses never failed to leave you breathless, he was fantastic at it. You didn’t care that you didn’t have anyone to compare to. You didn’t need to try anyone else to know that he tasted the best.
You whimpered as Gally’s teeth temptingly grazed your bottom lip before he pulled back, licking his lips as he gazed down at you with a near-predatory glow in his eyes. You felt a shiver crawl up your spine at the sight of his dilated pupils and slightly reddened parted lips. He looked so mesmerising…
Despite your body screaming at you not to, you attempted to wriggle out of his tight grasp, the sound of other gladers chattering in the distance reminding you that it was lunch time.
“Don’t get me wrong, I could do this all day, but we really should be heading over to Frypan’s. Aren’t you hungry?” You smiled, tracing your fingers down his jaw, the loving touch doing the opposite of making him want to pull away from you.
With an irresistible smirk, Gally finally whipped you around in his arms, so that you were facing him, his large hands latching onto your hips as he whispered against your lips “Oh, I’m hungry alright… Just not for lunch.”
You yelped as your feet suddenly left the ground, Gally’s strong arms engulfing you and leaving you no choice but to wrap your arms and legs around his glorious half-exposed body and hold on tight.
“Gally!” You halfheartedly tried to object, biting back your excited grin “What are you doing?”
The builder snickered, deeply, already turning in the direction of the Deadheads as he held you impossibly close, a devious spark flashing in his eyes.
“Staring like that can get you in trouble, baby. Guess you’re about to find out…”

Top five Juza cards :3
Chel you have unleashed me now this is truly my final form let's GO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is no beating this card. I saw this single bloomed card and fell so in love you don't understand. He is so head empty biting onto that lollipop,, it fills my heart with the fuzzies just KNOWING how happy and content he is being able to openly enjoy sweets like that... AND THE BACKSTAGE STORY FOR THAT CARD WAS SO SWEET grabs you-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was GOING to be no. 1 but I just didn't have the heart to rank it higher so-
Fallen Blood is an event that can be soo personal... every time I read it, I cry fr. Like my man just wanted to be a hero, a true protagonist AND HE WAS THE LAST IN AUTUMN TO GET THE LEAD AND THEY WERE TELLING HIM THAT KIND OF ROLE WASN'T SUITED FOR HIM... AND THE CARD BEING CALLED GIVE ME LIGHT BECAUSE HE WANTS THE SPOTLIGHT AND ALWAYS HAS SINCE HE WAS A KID??? IM CRYIING RN-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blazing Beachside passion or whatever the fuck the tryouts were called. It was literally the first event I ever played,, I got the juza ssr in my first 10 pull not even knowing who the fuxk he was yet bcs I hadn't read the story and went to bed and saw the gem heist happened and I was SO SCARED BECAUSE I WAS LIKE NO WAIT MY PRETTY GUY- Thankfully I didn't lose him!!! Anyway he looks lovely here (ft. an edit someone on ig made after we were talking about how this shirt is perfect for him I'm so sorry I don't remember their user-)
Tumblr media
This is literally one of my fave cards ever. Let me tell u why. First of all,, its an Sr so easier to get (/lh). But also. I have thought waaay too hard about this card so I'm gonna ramble ab it.
So okay right. Mans is constantly stalked and forced by people wanting to fight him, so it stands to reason that his casual outfit (default sprite) would be dark and unassuming so as to not draw more attention to himself and has to be somewhat practical to move in in case he needs to actually run/fight with the people chasing him. The purple jacket isnt that out of place with his hair, so the pop of yellow is really the only colour on his fit but even that kinda goes with with eyes. Yeah, he has his o high uni, but he kinda has to wear that and aside from the jacket it's very much the same as his casual (dark trousers, white shirt). But with this? The first time he's voluntarily worn something colourful and cosy. Granted they're travelling, but like that's even more sad because they're going to a place where no one will know/want to fight him. But he's surrounded by people that he knows care about him too!! Muku, Sakyo, Izumi, Tenma especially. He doesn't have to worry about keeping a low profile, he doesn't have to think about how he'll be able to move in it should he have to resort to running again. He can be COMFY and wear what he wants, no holds barred and he KILLED IT. Like of course he still has his lil jacket around his waist but this is so far removed from any of his other fits at this point in the story and its so cute to me !!! He just looks so happy and at peace !!!
Tumblr media
This one's normal again I promise ♡ ehehehe wedding card 🥰 (also camera.. man after my heart FR)
God this got long I'm so sorry...

Bottom Bitch
Kinktober Day 1: Sex Toys
Pairing: Oikawa Tooru x Reader
Warnings: 18+, tw: drugs, weed/marijuana, sex toys (double edged dildo, vibrator), scissoring, anal, rimming, spit play
Word Count: 3.2K
Summary: Quarantine fucking sucks. And unfortunately, your boyfriend’s birthday just so happened to be in right in the middle of this pandemic. With the end of the world seemingly drawing near, you suggest to do something you two have never done before. Who knew that Oikawa would turn into such a needy bitch when he was high? 
A/N: Ahahahaha I’m sorry I haven’t written anything since February LOL. And also, I’m sorry for randomly disappearing for literal months. Uh, please accept this as an apology… I feel like I’ve been a little rusty but I hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Happy Kinktober! 
♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜・。. ♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜・。. ♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜・。.
Tumblr media
Today was July 20th! Which means that it was Oikawa’s birthday. 
Every year, you and your boyfriend usually did what every couple did to celebrate. A cute date, a nice dinner, a rough fucking — you know, the works. But this year you two ran into a bit of a problem. Unfortunately, due to the mandated self quarantine orders, you couldn’t really do that. But you still wanted to make the most of the situation. 
Just before all the non-essential shops temporarily closed, you were able to make a stop at your local dispensary. You figured that since it seemed like the end of the world was drawing ever near, why not indulge yourselves in some of mother nature’s best gifts? 
The hardest part of this whole thing wasn’t even the fact that you were stuck inside for Oikawa’s special day, no, the hard part was going to be convincing him to get high with you. He knew that you smoked. For fuck’s sake, all of his friends did too. During your high school days, the Seijoh third years were notorious for blazing it up (Matsukawa and Hanamaki, especially). Even as adults, there were times when you would all find some free time just to have a relaxing smoke sesh and catch up on each other’s lives. As they say, old habits die hard. 
So, you wanting to get stoned was no surprise to him. He, on the other hand, was not an avid participant. 
Currently, the two of you were laying down in bed, watching whatever was on television, not that you two were really paying attention. Your mind was more occupied on how exactly you were supposed to bring up this little idea of yours. Getting Oikawa to agree to anything was hard enough as it is, let alone something that seemed so out of his comfort zone. 
“Hey, happy birthday again, Shittykawa. I love you so much, you know that?” You said, looking at him lovingly and nudging him on his side, placing a sweet kiss on his lips. 
“Who are you, Iwa-chan?” He scoffed. “But I love you too, baby. And you know you’ve greeted me almost a million times today, right?”, eagerly returning your gesture.
“I can’t help it! I’m sorry that our usual birthday plans got ruined because of this stupid quarantine. I wish I could make it up to you.” You pouted, looking up at him with pleading eyes. 
“I have a couple of ideas that would more than make up for it,” he teased, grabbing your ass before giving it a loud smack, “but have you got anything in mind, princess?” 
“I actually have something in mind that I really wanted to do with you…” 
“Oh? And what could that be? You going to let me eat that cake of yours?” He said, sitting up on his elbow, with a shit-eating smirk plastered all over that pretty face of his. 
“Well… I was actually hoping that we could get high today… You know, since it seems like the world is ending and all.” You said, nervously scratching the back of your head. “I thought it would be fun to celebrate your birthday in a way we’ve never done before!” 
You sounded doubtful. You had a feeling that he was going to refuse, but his answer came as a surprise. 
“Okay, deal.” 
Did you hear that right? Did he just agree with you? Did your stubborn boyfriend say yes, with absolutely no hesitation?
“R-really!? Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so on board with it! I thought I was going to have to convince you way more.” You cheered, hands wrapping him in a tight embrace. 
“Whatever, it’s not like we can go anywhere anyways. Might as well go wild!” He said with a smug smirk on his face. 
You excitedly hopped off the bed and ran towards your closet, grabbing the goodies you bought. You had bought quite a few products — some edibles, a couple prerolls, and a brand new wax pen. 
“Jesus christ, how much shit did you buy? You must have spent a fortune.”
“Money is no object when it comes to you, Tooru. Also, you don’t really do this kind of thing, so I just wanted us to have some options. In all honesty, I didn’t even think you’d say yes to doing this.” 
“Well, let’s get this party started, princess.” 
You smiled eagerly and laid out all the products in front of him, “So, what do you want to try first? Birthday boy gets to choose.” 
He immediately went for the wax pen, taking a long drag and inhaling the smoke, making sure to keep it in his lungs for a bit before grabbing the back of your head, and forcing your lips to part open before he exhales the smoke into your mouth, as if he was an expert at it. For someone who didn’t do this often, he sure as hell didn’t look like it. 
“Someone seems a bit excited, huh?” You teased, before crashing your lips together in a heated spit swapping session. 
You made your way on top of him, mouth never leaving his, running out of breath as he starts sucking on your tongue, drool spilling out the side of your mouth as it dribbles down onto his face. 
“Fuck. You nasty bitch, you just spit all over my fucking face.” 
“Oh, shut up,” you breathed, “you act like you practically weren’t drinking out of my mouth just a second ago.” 
The both of you consistently took turns taking hits off the pen. Inhaling and exhaling the delicious smoke as if your lives depended on it.  
The two of you started feeling the effects of the drugs get to your head. Lightheaded. Spinning. Intoxicating. But it wasn’t enough. You wanted to feel more. No, you needed to feel more.
You went for the edible and shoved the cookie into your mouth, leaving half of it hanging out. You fed Oikawa the rest of it. He took it willingly, watching a shiver go down his spine as he shuddered from the bitter taste go down his throat when he swallowed. “That tastes like shit. How the fuck do you eat this crap so often?” You let out a small giggle, admiring how cute his inexperience was. “Oh calm down, it shouldn’t take long for you to start feeling it kick in.” 
“So, c’mon birthday boy, let me take care of you.” 
You started kissing over his jawline, licking and letting your teeth bite down on the soft skin of his neck. You nuzzled your face closer, leaving marks and bruises painted all over him.
You continued straddling his waist, your clothed cunt rubbing ever so slowly against his growing erection. Teasing, dragging out the sensation of his cock throbbing over your slit, feeling yourself get more and more drenched with desire. “Are you doing okay, Tooru?” 
“I feel so fucking good. You make me feel so fucking good.” Hearing him sound so desperate and needy caused your cunt to clench. “F-fuck, can you suck my cock, princess? Can you do that for me, please?” You had never really seen this side of him before, but the tables were turning and you were more than willing to give him what he wanted. 
You pulled his shirt up, making your way down his torso, licking and kissing all over his toned abs, sucking on his sensitive little nipples. You slipped your hands under the waistband of his underwear, stroking his hardened cock. You quickly rid him of all his remaining clothes. You followed suit. Now, with the both of you completely naked, the fun was just about to start. 
Gently, you licked a stripe along his head paying close attention to the prominent veins that adorned his massive length. His cock was already dripping, the head beading with his precum. Spitting on your palm, you languidly stroked him, watching his toes curl and a small moan slip out of his mouth. You looked up at him and his eyes were screwed shut, he used his free hand to find purchase on the back of your head. Fisiting your hair, he moved it to the side to make sure he got a good look at how well you sucked his cock. He pushed you further down his length, causing you to gag as he hit the back of your throat. 
You could tell he was close, but just before he could finish, you pulled away. “Shit. Fuck. W-why’d you stop?” 
Aw. He sounded so disheartened. 
“Get on your hands and knees, baby. I want to try something new.” You said with a devilish grin on your face. He looked hesitant at first but his head was spinning so much that he just did it with no resistance. 
You roughly pulled his ass up in the air, your small hands spreading his cheeks apart, exposing his tight, puckered asshole. You let your spit pool in your mouth, teasingly letting it string in between your lips before allowing it to drip over his ass. You circled the pad of your tongue around his rim, prodding it slowly in and out of his tightness. Continuing your assault, you sneaked your hand in between his thighs, stroking his cock every time you pressed inside of him. Oikawa’s hands were fisted into the sheets and his face looked hot to the touch, a red tint glazing all over his body. 
You bit down on your bottom lip, and rubbed your thighs together at the ideas that were brewing in your mind. You reached underneath your bed and grabbed your box full of sex toys, pulling out lube, two vibrators and a thick, purple, double edged dildo. The look of Oikawa getting off to having his ass ate made your cunt pulsate with lust, and so the mere thought of him having him stuffed with a toy had your head fucking spinning. You wanted nothing more than to make a wreck out of his pretty little ass. 
Oikawa was still face down on the bed. His mouth was hanging open, panting heavily as he tried to control his breathing. He was so blissed out, his head seemed to be somewhere in the clouds. 
“Tooru, hey, are you okay? Lie down for me.” You squished his face in between your fingers to get his attention. When he finally turned to you, you could tell he was high beyond belief. “Mhm. Just feeling weird. It feels like the room is both spinning and still at the same time.” He huffed, moving onto his back, resting against the soft satin sheets. You giggled at how he turned into such a needy little boy, practically begging to be fucked into absolute senselessness. 
“Look at me, baby.” You brought one end of the dildo up to your mouth, slowly sucking it off as if it was Oikawa’s cock fucking your mouth instead. He could feel his dick twitch at the sight in front of him, his asshole involuntary clenching thinking about how it might feel to have it inside him. Inching closer to him, you held the dildo in between the two of you and guided the other end of the toy up to his lips. Parting them slowly, he began copying the same movements that you were doing on the other side. Pulling away momentarily, “Shit. You look so fucking hot when you suck cock, baby” you say, letting your free hand roam down to his hardened nipples, pinching and tweaking them, illiciting small moans to escape his lips while he choked on the toy in his mouth. 
“As much as I love seeing you suck on that pretty toy, I know a place to put it that’ll make you feel real fucking good.” Taking the dildo out of his mouth, you slide yourself down towards his lower half, spreading his thighs apart to see his hole that glistened with your spit, and his cock that oozed precum. You pressed wet kisses along his length, tongue stroking his balls, allowing yourself to slither over his perineum, causing him to writhe underneath your touch. You brought your fingers up to his mouth, collecting saliva around your digits before gently pressing them against his tight hole, slowly inching them deeper and deeper inside of him. 
He winced at the intrusion, making his face contort in pain. But surely, that burning sensation of you prodding your slim fingers inside his tight hole began morphing into a euphoric pleasure. He let out a small moan, bringing his fingers up to his lips and biting down on them to suppress the noises that were coming out of his mouth. You paused what you were doing to him to look up and whispered “Aw, c’mon baby, don’t be like that. I want to hear all those pretty noises you’re making while you act like such a little whore.” 
“So be louder for me, sweetheart” you snickered sinisterly as you continued your ministrations on his overly sensitive hole. 
If you weren’t high earlier, then you definitely were now. The effects of the marijuana elevating your sense of reality as the two of you drift into a state of pure fucking bliss. 
You started feeling more impatient, more needy. You needed to get off and you need it now. And Oikawa felt just the same. The look on his face was confirmation of that. Panting heavily, drool escaping the side of his mouth, and wet tears decorating his red cheeks — he looked like he was about to cum without even trying. 
With no delay, you grabbed the dildo and the lube from the side of the bed and began to slather the cold fluid over both ends of the toy. You positioned yourself in front of him, placing one end up to his tight rim while you lined the other side against your dripping wet pussy. You hadn’t even realized how wet you had become because you were so focused on Oikawa — you didn’t notice that your cunt was practically leaking all over you. 
“Haaah. Look at you, baby. Your pussy is begging to be stuffed. So wet for me. So fucking b-beautiful.” Oikawa shuddered, his speech slurred as he was still utterly fucked out because of your incessant teasing from earlier. His words caused your cunt to clench, your eyes closed as you shakingly breathed out, “Please, T-tooru…” 
You started to ease the toy inside of Oikawa — slowly but steadily sliding the thick purple dildo into his stretched out hole. He flinched as you finally got half of the toy into his ass, letting out a sinful moan as the head involuntarily hit against his prostate. “Ah, f-fuck! That felt so fucking good. Baby, please…” 
His eagerness sparked a flame within you, and so you hurried to shove the rest of the toy inside of your own hole. You let out a sigh of relief as your pussy was finally getting some much needed attention, after being neglected for so long as you focused on pleasing your boyfriend. 
You started to move slowly, rocking back and forth against each other as the two of you got used to the sheer size of the toy that connected the both of you. To help ease the pain, you grabbed one of the vibrators, held it up to Oikawa and said, “Here you go, baby. Put it against your cock and show me how you make yourself feel good.” 
He took the vibrator from your hand and followed your instructions like a good boy, letting out a loud whimper as the strong vibrations on his cock made his head spin. As he let his sense of control run loose, he started rutting faster against you as you placed your own vibrator on your sensitive clit. This caused the toy to simultaneously hit your g-spot and Oikawa’s prostate, and so the two of you both let out a loud moan together. 
“F-FUCK! Tooru — shit. That feels so fucking good! Go faster, I need it so bad. C’mon baby, please, I need you to make me cum!” You panted, circling the vibrator faster against your clit, bringing you closer and closer to the orgasm that you craved so much. 
“Oh fuuuuck, princess.” Oikawa moaned, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as he ditched the vibrator and tightly wrapped his hand around himself so he could fist-fuck his weeping cock. 
A collective string of “shit” and “oh fuck” escaping your mouths as the two of you rutted against each other faster and faster, the dildo pounding in and out of your tight holes — each thrust causing the tip of the toy to slam against both of your sweet spots at the same time.
“Fuuuuuuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!” Oikawa groaned as he stroked his cock one final time before he came hard all over himself, his chest painted white as his cum came out in hot spurts.
Seeing your boyfriend’s blissed out face was the final push you needed to set yourself over the edge. Your cunt clenched down on the toy as you came with a loud whine, your juices squirting out of your glistening pussy — making a slick mess all over your thighs and on Oikawa’s lower half. 
You were so spent that the whole world felt still, the both of you trying to catch your breath and recover from one of the most intense orgasms you two had ever had. 
As you came down from your highs, you slowly pulled the dildo out of your abused cunt and Oikawa’s gaped asshole, lazily leaving the toys on a mess of sheets. 
With what little ounce of strength you had left, you got on your knees and crawled up next to your boyfriend. After grabbing a tissue and gently cleaning up the mess you two had made together, you placed gentle kisses along his shoulders and collarbone, wrapping yourself up in his embrace. 
Now, whether it was the drugs or the intensity of his orgasm, Oikawa looked like he was about to pass out. And honestly, you felt like you were about to knock out too. Not that you could really blame him. 
“Hey, wake up, sleepyhead.” You whispered quietly, gently poking Oikawa on the cheek to nudge him awake. You might have been used to handling your high, but Oikawa was still inexperienced when it came to these kinds of things.
“Did you have a good birthday this year?” You asked him, as if you didn’t already know what he was going to say.
“Hi, baby~ Of course I did! I feel so goooood right now! Best birthday everrrr!” He said sheepishly, a tiny grin spreading across his face as he let out a breathy chuckle. 
You decided not to question him anymore, knowing he was too far gone to answer anything coherently. 
“I love you so much, Tooru. Happy birthday.” You whispered to him before the two of you began dozing off into dreamland.

I wouldn’t be opposed if you wanted to,, uh,, flesh out a lil sumn sumn 👀👉🏾👈🏾 (pretty pretty please 🥺) -Soft Dom Jaem anon
So this anon sent in a headcanon in which they wrote in depth about soft-dom Jaemin. You need to read it; the ask is right here.
On nights like these, he’d let you take the lead. There was something about the way your hands lingered for too long on each other, or the way you were painfully aware of every detail of his body pressed up against yours when you were cuddling, that riled you up. Neither of you could pay attention to the movie in front of you, your minds elsewhere the entire time. It took one dark glance from his lust-filled eyes, and your lips were clashing against his. 
When you parted the seam of his lips with your tongue, deepening the kiss, Jaemin moaned. The sound came from somewhere deep within his throat. His hands, which were usually so gentle with you, firmly grasped your wrists and pulled you on top of him. His fingers tapped against your thigh, sending you a subtle hint to straddle his hips. You’d been in this situation twice before: A situation in which he let you lead.
You pulled your shirt off your head, but before you could even reach out to touch him, Jaemin pulled you down on top of him, pressing his lips to yours harshly. This caught you off-guard, but you weren’t at all opposed. He kissed you with everything he had, his hands holding your waist, sliding up to your shoulders, before eventually cupping your face. This, in your opinion, was when kissing felt the most intimate. His hands were light as they touched your skin, thumbs gently caressing your cheekbones, but his mouth was ravenous against yours. Your fingers tangled in the soft strands of his hair at the nape of his neck, holding him in place. You kissed breathlessly. Heat radiated from his body, burning across your skin. Your heart was already pounding in your chest. The fabric of Jaemin’s t-shirt rubbed against your skin, and this was when you realized how badly you needed to be closer to him. 
You made a noise in the back of your throat that was close to a pleading whimper, and your hands withdrew from his hair, instead grasping onto his shirt, tugging desperately. Jaemin broke away from you reluctantly, lips swollen and hair tousled. “Someone’s eager,” he teased, but he sat up to remove his shirt. Your eyes flickered down to his abs, and your fingers lightly ran over his sensitive chest. You repeated the motion, your fingertips feather-soft against his skin, which coaxed a quiet sigh of pleasure from him. 
His lips connected to your neck, pressing a careful line of kisses down your throat. He was always so thorough with his actions, always taking his time with showing you how much he loved you. Jaemin held you close as the warmth of his lips trailed over your skin. The press of his mouth was tender yet passionate, every move he made intended on both making you feel good and showing you how much he adored you.
A whimper passed your lips, and you squirmed a bit in his arms from the sensation, which felt so good, but made you want him even more. He’d barely done anything, yet you were so desperate for him. The way he riled you up so skillfully, yet with the simplest actions, always amazed you. You wondered if he knew exactly how much power he had over you, even with you on top of him, still leading. 
He never let up, continuing to kiss, nip, and suck your skin. Heat pounded between your legs, and your entire being was practically begging for friction.
“Jaemin,” you managed, “lie back.” It came out as a desperate plea, but you couldn’t help yourself.
When his head hit the pillow, you grinded yourself against his erection, needing something, anything, to soothe the ache between your legs. Your head tipped back slightly, and a sigh passed your lips. Jaemin grabbed your hips, and he rolled his hips right up against your crotch, both helping himself out and teasing you. You rested your hands on his chest, pushing yourself down onto him again. 
A breathy utterance of a curse passed Jaemin’s lips. When you looked at his face, his eyes were shut, mouth slightly parted. You could feel how hard he was under you, how much he needed relief, as well. Once again. you rolled your hips down on him, shamelessly enjoying how your actions impacted him.
What you weren’t expecting was him to say your name in a voice of warning, firm and completely under control. His hands were holding your waist, and the look in his eyes was dark and intimidating, though you couldn’t look away. Your skin tingled under his gaze, and you froze your movements entirely. “Don’t test me.” 
Fuck. The power he held over you, the way you melted from just his words, submitting to him, even when you were leading, was baffling to you. And he knew it, he knew what he did to you. 
That didn’t stop you from having a little fun with the bit of power you did have, though.
You removed the rest of your clothes, and he followed suit. It was clear how eager both of you were. Your skin was alight with flames, heat and anticipation flowing through you. Jaemin was rock-hard, his sensitive tip dripping with precum. 
When you decided to grind again, but this time, it was skin-against skin, you felt his fingertips dig into your waist. “What are you trying to do?” Jaemin finally asked. His voice was low and authoritative, but it was gravelly and husky, even his voice making it obvious how badly he needed relief. “You remember who’s ultimately in charge, right?” Jaemin’s fingers slowly trailed down your hips, across the expanse of your skin, until he reached your far upper thighs. 
When his palms mapped out the sensitive skin, you shuddered under his touch. The way you melted just from his words, gaze, and actions was still hard for you to believe. You loved how easily you reacted to him. though, and you know he did, too.
“Are you gonna make us feel good?” Jaemin asked. His fingers went in between your legs, slowly dragging up and down your wet folds. The sensation was light, and a desperate mewl left your lips. You needed more friction, and not just the smallest, teasing bit of contact from his fingertips. 
You also wanted to make him feel good so badly, to see him fully overtaken with pleasure because of your actions. You also wanted him inside of you so badly. Unable to wait another second, your entire body blazing with flames of desire, you positioned him at your entrance after coating him in your own arousal.
Jaemin’s hands were on your waist, supporting you as his length became sheathed inside of you. The intrusion was slightly unpleasant at first, especially without any actual foreplay beforehand. He caressed your sides, trying to soothe you, telling you how well you were taking him, how good you felt, and of course, how beautiful you were. That’s how it always was, really: sex with Jaemin was physically pleasurable as much as it was loving, sweet, and full of compliments and praises. 
“Are you okay?” Jaemin inquired. He had simply been saying words without anticipating an answer before, forgetting to actually make sure you could handle the sudden intrusion. 
Your hands flew down to his, which were still on your waist. You interlocked your fingers and squeezed his hands before allowing yourself a shaky exhale. “I’m okay.” 
He beamed at you, before he whispered out a few more sweet words. Your heart melted at the sight of his face lighting up at you, and the pain vanished as his patient, healing smile was directed to you. 
Your hands went to his chest for support, and his went back to hold onto your waist. Slowly at first, you simply gyrated your hips on him. You felt so full, finally relieved from the tension in your lower stomach that was begging for release. At one point, his tip lightly grazed your g-spot. He was so deep inside of you, to the point where he could hit just a bundle of sensitive nerve endings and have you cry out on top of him. How could you maintain your cool persona when he was splitting you apart, let bringing you incredible pleasure while doing so?
You brought yourself upwards on his cock, sliding up so when you came back down, he’d hit a new spot that caused you to see stars. You clenched around him like crazy from the pleasure, and you weren’t shy nor quiet with your sounds. Swears would occasionally slip past your lips, as would whines that were much higher pitched. You couldn’t contain yourself when he brought you so high up from his cock alone. 
Low groans came from Jaemin, and his lips were slightly parted, allowing sounds to pass them freely. You loved the sounds he made, as he did yours, and he hated when you deprived him the pleasure of hearing them. You could see how he struggled to draw in a breath when you clenched around him, and he noticed how you’d cry out after bringing yourself back down on him at times, making it clear that he was pressing against your g-spot. 
“How are you so tight?” he managed to grunt, squeezing your hips, clearly trying to anchor himself amidst the pleasure. Jaemin then grabbed your ass, squeezing there, knowing that when he touched anywhere in that general area, you were sensitive, especially to his touches, which were spontaneous, light, and possessive of so many things you couldn’t even begin to describe.
You continued to ride him at a fairly easy pace, but when he kneeded the flesh in his hands, you let out the quietest, faintest gasp of surprise, mixed with a moan of pleasure. 
Your legs were slightly tired from having to move you up and down, but you kept going. You needed to cum, but more importantly, you wanted to see your boyfriend climax, as well. So what you did next was both for a bit of a break, but more so for the matters of being a little tease, seeing if he’d notice. You gyrated your hips on his, not allowing him to truly feel you ungulf him again and again. In a way, you were back to grinding, which limited what he felt, but not you.
At times, you’d clench, but he’d get minimal relief from that. His reaction began with a pout, wanting to fully feel your tight pussy hugging his walls as you  moved on him. He couldn’t even buck his hips up into yours, due to the weight you were placing on his hips. What you had anticipated was a noise of sadness, likely a whine or breathy moan. But what you weren’t expecting were his hands to suddenly move to grab onto your throat.
It was a very light grab, not cutting off your oxygen, but making it a slight labor in order to inhale. Even still, it was so hot, how he snapped. Clearly, he didn’t like it when you teased him. For the record, he was the one who was supposed to have power, in this one circumstance.
“Y/n.” His voice was unlike any other tone you’d heard from him just minutes ago. This was dark and full of warning, making you snap to attention, as though the grip around your neck wasn’t enough.  “I’m giving you what you want because you’re adorable, but do not let it slip your mind who’s in charge, here.”
Whenever you thought you had power over him, he reminded you how he was in charge. His hands were guiding your hips the entire time, helping him control the pace. He was praising you, too, but in times like these, when he reprimanded you, that was what sealed the deal. He had no problem flipping you over and fucking you into oblivion, with him taking the lead, you knew.
Apparently, you’d been staring off into space, slowly considering this whole situation. You were unaware of that, however, until Jaemin said, “Look at me when I’m talking to you.” His voice wasn’t full of threat, but it was firm. It was an order. Your eyes met his gaze.
“Who’s in charge, here?” Jaemin asked. He looked at you through dark eyes, full of the lust coursing through him. You had been close to coming, and he was sensitive, too, from the way his abs shuddered under your touch. If you answered this question incorrectly, he’d easily show you the correct answer. However, he gave you the power to correct your teasing. “You’re my good girl, aren’t you?” He asked that question as a genuine inquiry, giving you the choice on how you wished to act. However, the twinge in his voice, the way it got higher at the end of the question, showed how much he wanted the answer to be a “yes.” 
Fuck, he always managed to get you to crumble. You wanted to be good for him, to make him feel good because of you. Because of how much you loved him, how much Jaemin deserved, and how desperately you wanted to please him. When he smiled brightly at you or softened his tone at you, it was clear how much joy you brought him. You wanted to be a good girlfriend in this case, too.
“I’m sorry.”
“No, don’t apologize! Aw, baby, I love when you’re leading. I want you to make us feel good, okay? Can you do that for me?” his voice was kind and sweet, almost to the point where you wanted to cry from his kind words and warm tone.
His “for me” was what killed you. 
You nodded, but allowed your next actions to speak louder than words. Quickly, you bounced on his cock again, all despite the pain in your thighs. Hearing his deep, gravelly, attractive moans fill the air was rewarding enough. You could hear the sound of your skin making contact against his rapidly, as well as how wet you were for him. 
Jaemin then reinforced his grasp on your waist, guiding you up and down, taking a lot of the pain and burden off of your legs. He was allowing you a break without actually having you stop moving altogether. It allowed you to focus on the friction between his cock and your walls, how well his pelvis was stimulating your swollen clit, as well.
So when you went hurtling towards your high, you weren’t surprised at how fast it came. The string of heat in your lower stomach snapped, causing you to cry out his name, legs shaking around his hips. You were clenching around him like crazy, walls sporadically coming down around him. 
Jaemin, however, hadn’t cum yet, and you didn’t stop. Even when Jaemin squeezed your hips and assured you breathlessly that you could stop and allow yourself to rest. Instead, you forced yourself into overstimulation, desperate to make him cum.
You, at this point, were fucking yourself on his cock, close to tears and babbling incoherently. It felt so good, to the point that you wanted to stop, close your legs, and allow yourself to recover from your first orgasm. However, you powered on, legs shaking like crazy
“Y-you can stop, y/n,” Jaemin finished his strained sentence with a groan, clear how close he was, too.
You shook your head frantically, refusing to even consider his offer.  No, please, I want you to feel good, too.” It came out as a mix between a plea and a sob, but it was so truthful.
With a squeeze to your hips and moans of your name, he came, filling you with his hot seed. The sensation was enough to make you come again, and you spasmed on top of him, the walls ringing with the sounds you couldn’t contain. 
In a short second, with him still inside of you, your exhausted body collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily. You could feel how Jaemin’s chest was covered in sweat, but you couldn’t care less. 
“Are you okay?” Jaemin’s fingers were in your hair in an instant, calming and comforting you. “You completely overstimulated yourself, baby.”
“I wanted you to cum, as well,” you said voice muffled against a shoulder. Your words were small and quiet, but they were truthful. Jaemin’s heart melted, especially at your pitiful, tired statement of, “I wanted to be good for you.”
“I don’t deserve you. You’re perfect for me, you know that?” his voice was quiet, but from the way he sounded, you knew he was smiling. 
I’m trash at endings, but it’s 2:40 in the morning and I don’t care enough to end it well. I don’t know what this is. Like, it’s so bad, and I think I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and be like, “What the heck did I just write?” At the same time, this softdom Jaemin concept is so sweet and totally how I see him. I loved writing this. 
Also, please send in requests! I suck at answering them, but it’s okay because they’re fun to read and think of plans for.

a/n thank you so much to @sweetnspicy93​ for beta reading and helping me you’re amazing 
“Mmm.. Jimin! Fuck!” you moaned, the familiar fire burning deep in your belly.
You worked yourself closer to release, one hand pumping the vibrator in and out of your aching hole while the other circled your clit. You were teetering on the edge, so close to release, images of Jimin’s ass in his slacks from when he’d dressed up the night before flitted through your mind. You imagined your heels digging into that plump bottom, legs wrapped around his torso while he fucked you senseless. 
You could almost feel the weight of his body on yours, could almost imagine he was really there with you, if it weren’t for the buzzing noise coming from between your thighs. You tried imagining that Jimin was using the toy on you instead, but you could already feel your orgasm retreating as your fantasy dissolved and reality washed over you like a splash of cold water. You’d been so close this time… until it died away, leaving you unsatisfied. Again. 
You groan in frustration for probably the 100th night in a row. Laying in your bed with your vibrator in hand just wasn’t doing the trick. Nothing seemed to do the trick anymore. You’d tried Tinder hookups, you’d tried the detachable shower head, probably 15 different sex toys, and nothing was getting you off anymore. You were convinced your pussy was broken.
On the verge of tears, you chucked the useless toy against the wall with a thud, and it hit the floor and split open, batteries rolling in different directions.You watched them roll away and sighed, pulling your pajama shorts back up and accepting defeat. 
You weren’t sure why you even tried anymore. It was clear you’d probably never get to orgasm again. Your problem began when your new neighbor moved in next door. It was 3 and a half months ago, and one look at the man had you weak in the knees. He radiated sex appeal.  From his skin tight jeans that showcased his perfect ass to his flowing, see-through white top unbuttoned about halfway, teasing you with defined abs, to his piercing eyes and the plushest lips you’d ever seen in your life. 
Even the way he walked made arousal pool in your panties. He knew he was sexy, he had the toned body of a dancer and his movements were graceful and confident. When he’d directed his pearly white smile at you, you were a goner. That was the day that Park Jimin had ruined you.
You’d gotten to know Jimin a little better over the past few months. You both left for work at the same time and would walk to your cars together, chatting about anything and nothing at all. Sometimes he’d get up early to bring you coffee or you’d bring him some cookies you’d made. You were friendly enough, but you did try to keep a little bit of distance since being anywhere within ten feet of him had you feral and dizzy.
If Jimin noticed your obsession with him, he didn’t say anything. He just smiled at you like everything was normal and asked if you’d caught the newest episode of The Masked Singer. Jimin was kind, he was funny, he was polite, and he was devastatingly handsome. Every new fact you learned about him only made you like him more, want him more.
How many nights did you lay alone in your bed, fantasizing about Jimin and the way his hips moved? How much stamina he must have? He’d dance for hours at the local studio, you knew he could go several rounds. He had so much control over his body, you loved imagining how that would play into how well he could fuck your brains out. Pretty well, you guessed.
Just this morning, he’d offered to give you a ride to work, saying that he had a dancing class to teach nearby at a new venue. You’d agreed, not wanting to be rude, and also it was good for the environment, right? Cutting on gas emissions. That was why you wanted to get in his car. At least, that’s what you told yourself.
You immediately regretted that decision. Jimin’s car was very nice and clean, but it was small. His thick, juicy thighs were mere centimeters from your own and his hand brushed against yours whenever he had to change gears. Jimin's car smelled like him- prim and proper with a hint of his cologne. Sitting so close to him, completely enveloped in the scent of him in the small space.. you could almost imagine him leaning your seat back and having his way with you in his car. You had to rub your thighs together to get some comfort from the pooling moisture between your thighs. This was going to be a major test of your self control.
You tried to focus on the tranquil turn of the steering wheel in Jimin's hands instead. Jimin was a smooth driver, which you weren’t surprised about. It seemed like you couldn’t find a single thing he didn’t excel at. You couldn’t help but notice his eyes flicking over to you every so often though, making your cheeks turn a dark shade of pink. Jimin was paying more attention to you than the road and didn’t notice the speed bump. He didn’t slow down in time and drove right over it, jostling the whole car. His arm shot out to shield you from the impact, his hand landing right above your breast. 
Your brain seemed to short circuit, your eyes widened and you stared at Jimin’s hand. He was frozen in shock and made no attempt to remove his hold on your body. You could barely breathe, the heat from his skin soaking through your shirt had shivers racing through your spine. You were vibrating with sexual tension, losing your mind. When he finally regained his senses, he yanked his arm back, fingers accidentally grazing across your nipple. Your body jolted and heat rushed between your thighs. If you didn’t get out of his car soon you were going to attack him.
“I’m… I didn’t mean… I’m sorry.” he mumbled.
“It’s okay.” you tried to make your voice sound even, but it came out breathless. 
You thanked Jimin once you’d exited the car and politely refused his offer to pick you up after work, lying that you had plans with a friend. You’d spent all day at work horny as you’d 8ever been, tortured for eight hours with sticky thighs and an unbearable yearning between your legs, which was what brought you here, denied yet another orgasm because you just wanted Jimin between your thighs, not that stupid plastic imitation. 
Even now you couldn’t stop shivering when you thought back to how close he was, how good he smelled… you couldn’t stop yourself from imagining his sweaty body after dance class… You punched your pillow with a loud whine before you heard a heavy knock at your door. You made your way to the front door and opened it, immediately being pushed back into the wall with a pair of soft, plushy lips on yours.
You only knew it was Jimin by his smell, and the small flash you’d seen of him before he’d basically attacked you.You froze for a moment, shocked and reeling. Jimin was kissing you. The same Jimin who had consumed your thoughts and dreams for months. Those soft, pink lips were pressed against your own and it felt better than you could’ve ever imagined. You kissed him back with fervor, though you weren’t really sure what brought this on, you weren’t about to tell him no. Live out your fantasies first, ask questions later. His kisses left your lips and moved over to the shell of your ear.
“You know our bedrooms share a wall, right?” he purred, “I’ve been listening to you fuck yourself for months, calling out my name.” 
“What?” you squeaked in embarrassment, trying to cling to the minimal amount of brain function you had left while his lips worked their way down your neck, “why didn’t you say anything?”
“I was trying to get to know you, do this right. But I’m so tired of listening to you not get off.” he hissed. “None of those boys knew how to fuck you right. I’m going to help you baby.”
Quiet whimpers left your lips when he began rocking his hips into yours, his hard member grinding against your core. Jimin pulled his lips from your skin and looked into your eyes. You saw his pupils were blown with lust. His usually perfectly styled hair fell into his eyes and he shook it away, breathing just as ragged as your own. 
“Tell me to stop, and I will.” he spoke evenly, thumbs rubbing circles on your hips.
“Please don’t stop.” you whispered, swallowing nervously.
Jimin smiled, his eyes burning with desire as he backed you up towards your room, shoving you down on the bed and crawling until his body hovered over yours. His lips reattaching to your skin had your hips bucking up into his, desperate for any kind of friction. You probably should’ve been embarrassed at how desperate you seemed but you really couldn’t bring yourself to care, not when your wildest fantasies were being played out before your very eyes.
“So impatient.” Jimin tsked, hand sliding up your shirt and under your bra to grasp your breast, rolling your nipple between his thumb and forefinger.
“Jimin…” you whined.
“Tell me what you want, baby.” Jimin purred in your ear.
“Touch me.” you begged.
“I am.” he teased, rolling your hardened nipple between his fingers again.
You whined loudly, rolling your hips up to meet his. 
“Nuh uh, use your words.” he encouraged.
“Please, I want you. Your fingers, your cock, anything. I just need you inside me.” you writhed against him.
“Mmm… good girl.” he smirked, making his way down your body and leaving a trail of love bites.
His skilled mouth sucked and nipped at your skin like he was a professional. Jimin instinctively knew how to work your body, how to draw the neediest moans from your pretty lips. Your body was on fire, and he was your gasoline, fueling the blaze the closer he got to where you wanted, where you needed him. His fingers gripped the elastic of your pajama shorts, tugging them off and tossing them aside.
He peppered hot kisses along your panty-covered slit, deciding to tease you rather than give you what you wanted. Jimin wanted you begging for him, needy and desperate.Jimin wanted to get back at you. For all the sleepless nights he lay awake listening to your moans on the other side of the wall, calling to him like a siren. He relieved himself more times than he can count to just your breathy moans and was left wanting more. He intended to drive you to the point of insanity before he let you have your release. He wanted to make sure no one would ever be good enough for you again, you’d only want him. No other man would ever touch you again.
He ran his tongue along the lace of your panties, dampening the already sticky fabric. His barely there touches were making you dizzy and you whimpered, lacing your fingers through his thick, soft hair. Tears were forming at the edges of your vision, so desperate for release you hadn’t found in months, and Jimin’s touches were ghosting along your skin raising goosebumps in their wake but they weren’t enough.
Finally, he pushed your panties aside and his tongue dipped into your heat. You almost cried out in relief when you felt his muscle sliding along your walls and licking designs on your clit. Your back arched off the bed and he used one hand to hold your hips in place while he continued to drive you mad with his skillful tongue. 
He slipped a finger deep in your hole, curling it and hitting your gspot with every flick of his wrist. The way Jimin worked your body put all your Tinder dates to shame. You knew he was a sexpert upon first glance but you didn’t realize he could perform actual magic between your thighs. He added a second finger, then a third, stretching your walls. 
Jimin pumped his fingers in and out of you at the perfect rhythm, alternating the timing of his fingers with the flicks of his tongue on your sensitive bundle of nerves and you could feel yourself climbing towards your end. Your whines got louder, your cries needier. You couldn’t stop yourself from bucking your hips against Jimin’s hold.
“Oh, fu- JIMIN!”
Finally, for the first time in months, the sweet blissful, euphoria consumed your body. Jimin’s ministrations sent you over the edge, your orgasm completely consuming your being. You felt like you were ascending out of your body and soaring into the night sky while Jimin worked you through your release. Jimin did not slow down, even as you began to settle from your high.
You attempted to push him away, feeling overly sensitive from your first orgasm in three months, but Jimin was stronger than you, and soon the burning turned to pleasure again, building back up much quicker than the first, and you wriggled beneath Jimin’s hold on your hips. Mere minutes after your first orgasm, another crashed through you, just as intense as the first. Jimin finally relented, leaving a soft peck on your folds as he pulled away from your trembling body. 
His chin covered in your juices, he grinned at you, moving up to place a kiss on your lips. You could taste yourself on his tongue, and somehow that was erotic enough to create another wave of arousal to gush from your over-sensitive cunt. You moaned into Jimin’s kiss, nipping at his swollen lips. 
“Mmm.. your turn.” you smirked, reaching down and palming at his hardened member, but Jimin stopped you.
“No tonight is about you, baby. We have all the time in the world for that later. I just want to be inside you.” he purred into your ear, nibbling at the skin.
You couldn’t exactly argue with that. You reached down to pull his sweats down his thick, delicious thighs and tossed them aside. He lifted your shirt and sports bra off of you effortlessly, licking his lips at the sight of your nipples peaked and ready for attention. His tongue swiped a bold line across one, then the other, forcing shivers from your fucked out body. You quickly tugged at his boxers, simply unable to wait any longer. 
“Need you. Now.” you panted.
Jimin smirked, shimmying out of his boxers and hovering over you.
His length brushed against your folds and both of you groaned. Jimin’s cock was thick, so hard it looked painful, and dribbling precum from his pretty round tip. Jimin froze, looking like he was about to cry.
“I forgot a condom.” he nearly whimpered.
“I’ve got an IUD.” you assured him, running your fingers through his hair to get the sweaty mess out of his eyes.
“Oh thank god.” he breathed in relief, body shuddering. 
Before you could reply, Jimin was entering you, he just couldn’t hold back anymore. He started off slowly, making sure you could handle the stretch and burn. Your breathless moans of his name made it hard for Jimin to keep control, and soon he was pounding ruthlessly into your soaking cunt. Your headboard bounced against the wall but you couldn’t force yourself to care, not when Jimin felt so good buried inside you.
Jimin seemed to reach places within you that no other man had before, like he was made perfectly for you and you perfectly for him. He fit inside you so well, his cock brushing against your walls was driving you insane. You weren’t sure how he hit that lovely spot inside of you every time, but his expert thrusts hit the best angle every time. 
“Fuck, you’re so tight. So wet for me baby.” Jimin grunted as he continued to snap his hips into yours.
“Jimin!” you gasped when his teeth began to nip at your collarbones.
“That’s it baby, say my name… who fucks you this good? Who owns this pussy?” he growled, bringing one hand between your bodies to circle at your clit.
“You, Jimin!” you groaned, body bouncing with the forceful impact of Jimin’s thrusts.
“Louder!” he commanded, his hips snapping harshly while his fingers increased their speed on your nub.
“Fuck, JIMIN!” you screamed. 
“You feel better than I imagined, princess. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to wreck your pretty little pussy? I used to get off with you, you know.” he groaned while his hands found your hair and pulled so your neck was exposed for him to litter hickeys on.
“Oh god.” you moaned at the idea of Jimin alone in his bed, hand wrapped around his cock while he got off to the sound of you getting off to him.
“Mmm… it took everything I had not to come over here and make you cum all over my cock. Your sweet pussy is even tighter and wetter than I’d dreamed. Fuck, you feel so good wrapped around me.” his voice shook.
Without warning, Jimin flipped you over onto your stomach and started pounding into you from behind, reaching a whole new angle you didn’t even know existed but had your head spinning. You pushed your hips back against his to meet his every thrust. You were jolted out of your blissful state when his hand came and smacked your ass, sending electricity straight to your core.Your pussy clenched around his length and he let out a strangled groan.
“You like that, huh? Such a dirty girl. How many times did you fuck yourself without me?” he questioned innocently.
“Ummm… I’m not sure.” you confessed. “I haven’t gotten off since you moved in though.” 
“Hmmm.. then how many Tinder dates did you have instead of coming to find me?” he wondered.
“Ummm, 4?” you answered, unsure of why he was asking about your other sexual partners while he was balls deep inside you.
“Mmm… you’ve been a bad girl. You should’ve just come to me. Count.” he ordered, his palm coming down swiftly on your bottom again.
“Ah, one.” you moaned quietly, clenching around him again.
“Mmm.. you like this a little too much.” Jimin chuckled, bringing a harsher slap down on your ass, then soothing the red skin with a gentle brush of his fingers. 
“Two.” you whimpered blissfully. 
Jimin loved the way your skin turned red under his efforts, and he loved the way you tightened around him every time he delivered a spank to the soft skin of your bottom. He admired it for a moment, fingers tenderly grazing over the skin before he unexpectedly left another harsh slap on your skin. 
Your body jolted forward with the impact and you groaned low in your throat at the blissful burning on your backside.
“Three.” left your lips in a whisper as your high drew closer with Jimin’s actions.
His pace didn’t slow down while he “punished” you in the best way, and you were just on the edge of oblivion when he delivered the final slap. You screamed as your high washed over you, even more intense than the first two, and Jimin’s thrusts got sloppier as he met his own end soon after you. He worked you both through your orgasms until you were shaking and tears were falling from the corners of your eyes.  Jimin collapsed next to you, trying to steady his breathing just as you were.
“Are you okay?” he asked between his deep breaths.
“So okay.” you sighed happily, a small giggle rising from your throat. “Ugh, it feels so good to finally cum.”
“Mmm… you’re so sexy when you do.” he grinned, licking his lips suggestively.
You covered your face to hide your blush and he only laughed, crawling off the bed and going to grab a damp washcloth. He returned and knelt between your thighs, running the cloth gently along your folds to clean up the mix of your juices and his cum seeping out of your spent pussy. You whimpered at the overstimulation, and Jimin tossed the cloth into your hamper.
You reached out for him and tugged him back into bed with you, and he wrapped his arms around your frame, holding you against his chest. Your breathing was still labored but feeling Jimin’s body against your own felt more important than oxygen in that moment. He stroked your hair gently with the hand that wasn’t wrapped around you.
“I hope you realize I’m not going to let you go now.” you smiled into his chest. “There’s no way anyone is ever going to top that.”
Jimin laughed, a deep, full belly laugh and pulled you closer into his embrace, kissing the top of your head. 
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll fuck you whenever you want.” he grinned. “But I really would like to take you on a date sometime.”
“I’d really like that.” you blushed, looking up to meet his eyes.
Jimin bit his lip to try and hide the smile that threatened to spread on his swollen, deliciously red lips. You let yours free though, grinning up at him like a kid on Christmas. Jimin’s resolve broke and his smile spread from ear to ear.
“Where would you want to go?” he asked, idly playing with your fingers.
“Hmmm...  I don’t know. Somewhere lowkey but fun? I want to get to know you better.” you hummed thoughtfully, watching his expression.
“Okay… maybe… the amusement park? Then dinner?” he offered. “Or would you rather go to a movie? Or we could-” he began.
You giggled and pressed your finger to his plush lips.
“It doesn’t matter where we go, as long as you’re there. You’ve got me right where you want me.”

Release Life’s Rapture (part 3)
You stay at your godfather’s ludus for the summer, where you meet Jacobus, his champion gladiator.

Tumblr media
That night, you dream of making love to Sol, god of the sun. His hair is as brown as the earth, eyes deep and blue as the dawning sky. His skin is bronzed from the sun to which he so lovingly attends, and in return for his diligence, his entire body is encircled in a halo of everlasting golden light.
You and your god are lain upon a large tanned hide, abed a field of green grass, deepened to a dim blue-green in the dark night. Sol looms above you, a single point of light against an otherwise black sky. He is bare as you, and where the god touches you, your flesh burns, his hands too hot for a mere mortal to withstand, his mouth too scalding. But there’s always a price for pleasure, and a night with a being as divine as he is worth the pain in exchange. 
So you wrap your thighs tight around the god’s hips as he thrusts into you, unrelentless, his cock thick and heavy inside of your aching cunt. He’s filling you up, stretching you full, making you feel a burning so different from the fevered warmth of his skin against your own. Your back arches as you seek out more contact, your heated, human flesh so fragile against the sun god’s searing skin. 
Your lover has your wrists above your head, one of his wide, rough palms holding them in place. The other is gripping your jaw, turning your face away from his so that he may nose at your throat and cheek and ear. His hot breath sends shivers down your spine and when Sol speaks, words like whispers so deep and low, you can’t make out their meaning, but delight in the sounds all the same. 
Your cries reach out into the deep, empty, endless night. The noise echo back into your ears and you feel blissfully alone - detached from the world and your existence, everything narrowed down to you and your god and this familiar but indescribable thing coiling in your stomach. 
Your breath catches as you feel Sol’s pace quicken, his hands tightening around your wrists and jaw. He bites down against the curve of your neck and hot tears spill down your cheeks as you feel him find his release inside of you. 
You sob and shake, you ache and burn. Sol whispers your name back into your mouth, guiding you closer and closer and closer with his hands and his cock and his words. You feel him around you, inside you, urging you on, but when you finally reach your peak, it’s not the god’s name that you call out in prayer.
Tumblr media
 Blessed night has settled into another day, your god forced to return to the sky once more to fulfill his duty, leaving you with mere memories of his blazing touch. But, as a remembrance, he sends sunlight streaming through your open window, stroking your body and keeping you warm and satiated until the time may come for the god to descend upon you once again.
You long to stay abed, to wait for that moment when night falls so that you may once again greet your lover with open arms and open legs. You want to once again lose yourself to dreams - a much more appealing prospect than this waking nightmare. Even half asleep, you feel the sudden sting of freshly remembered heartbreak. 
You’re grateful for your god - the divine Sol who saw you hurting and granted you solace from your pain. Hair like the earth, you remember, like the soil from whence life springs. Rich brown and lush and soft beneath your fingers. His body built like it was made for toil, strong and deliberately fashioned. And his eyes – blue like the sky. Like the sea.
Unfortunately, your companion, Octavia, does not allow you to dwell in fantasy. She’s no longer beside you in bed, always early to rise and greet the day before the sun has had a chance to ascend. 
“You’re awake,” she says, more a command than a question.
“Yes. And I had the most wonderful dream,” you tell her, giving up all thoughts of returning to slumber as you stretch out along the bed, arms up and back arched. “I fucked a god. He set my body aflame and then I turned to ash in his hands.”
“And this was a good dream?” Octavia asks, incredulous.
You sigh. “It was magnificent.”
You sit up in bed as you recall your dream, rubbing your wrists, sore from where your lover pinned you down in his blistering grasp. Octavia reaches out and grabs your wrists in her own hand, looking it over, and when you look down at it as well, you see bruises instead of burns. The marks of someone other than your god upon you.
“Better to suffer a lover forged from dreams,” Octavia says, releasing your wrist, “than one based in cruel reality.”
“One and the same,” you reply softly. Because you’re no fool. You know the being who visits your dream is both god and man, one image of the other. “Why do you think Jacobus so cruel?” you continue, louder this time. “Do you think he’s always been that way?” 
“I think that you should remove him from your thoughts,” Octavia tells you as she returns, holding a cream length of fine fabric for your stola. “Would it please you to wear this today?”
“He is well removed,” you tell her in reply, and Octavia scoffs. 
You pinch the fabric between your fingers, considering. The color is too bland to convey how you feel this morning. You need something deeper, and more rich. “I have something blue, do I not? Like… like the sky right at the height of the sun’s ascent. Something like that?”
Octavia raises an eyebrow at you, unimpressed. “I’ll see what I can come up with.”
Tumblr media
 After you groom and dress, you find yourself on the villa balcony, where Alexander and Ophelia are eating their morning meal. On the table before them is a modest spread of cheese and bread and fruit. In their hands are ever-present cups of wine. Behind the pair, a slave cools them off with a large fan made of feathers as they lounge upon their cushioned chaises. 
The heat is almost overwhelming, even in the mid-morning when the sun has yet to reach its peak. Already, a thin sheen of sweat has gathered on your skin. Already, you can feel the fevered weight of existence heavy on your shoulders. 
The heat and the drought has been a source of discontentment for all in Capua, the shortage of water drying out even the most well-attended bath and turning once-fertile soil into dust. Below the balcony, the gladiators are kicking up the dust and the sand with every movement, the sun baking the grains into a hard-packed floor for the men to move around upon. It crumbles underfoot and sends clouds of earth into the air, covering the men and all things else lowly enough to get in its way.
But this is all commonplace to you now. The crash of wooden sword against wooden shield, of dull-tipped spear and trident, of pain and triumph, have all come to be familiar sounds to you and this morning fares no differently. The men have no doubt been at it for hours already, waking early to begin their training, breaking for their morning meal, then back at it once more before you were even out of bed. 
You chance a look down at the men, and your eyes are immediately drawn toward Jacobus, brandishing two swords against another gladiator with sword and shield. His usual demeanor is darkened, his ferocity obvious by tenfold today, and you can’t help but believe that you are the cause. 
You wonder if the gladiator sought companionship last night after you were so viciously turned away. You never sent anyone in your stead, as he requested, not able to bear the thought of another giving him the pleasure that you so desperately wish you could give. Did Jacobus blame you for soiling the night of such a celebrated victory? Will he ever forgive you your desire and your deceit? 
The champion looks up toward the balcony, blue eyes ablaze, and you avert your gaze by busying yourself with choosing just the right bunch of grapes from a serving tray held up to you by one of Alexander’s slaves. 
“The men are of a poor form today,” you muse, attempting to steady your heart as you pluck a grape off of its stem. You place the fruit in your mouth and find the courage to look back down onto the training ground. With both relief and disappointment, you find that Jacobus has once again resumed his training. 
“Wine and whores do have a way of dulling the senses,” Alexander replies. “Which reminds me, how did the champion enjoy his gift?”
You give your godfather a false smile, already weary of the reminder of the night passed. “She was well received,” you answer, not missing the way Octavia looks at you out of the corner of your eye. “Who would not enjoy such a remarkable tribute?”
Before Alexander can respond, the snap of a whip resonates through the training ground and up onto the balcony, drawing the attention of those upon it. You take a step closer and both Alexander and Ophelia stand to get a better look at what is transpiring down below. 
“Attend!” Doctore bellows, voice carrying through the air. The men halt their training and turn their attention to Fury, the Doctore – trainer – of Alexander’s ludus. “Forget everything you learned outside these walls. For that is the world of men. We are more! We are gladiators!”
The men cheer, a great roar rising up to where you stand that nearly forces you back in its enthusiasm. Your hands grip the banister to keep you steady, listening intently  as if Doctore was speaking to you and not the gladiators in his charge. 
“Study. Train. Bleed!” Doctore continues. “And one day your name will be legend, spoken in hushed whispers of fear and awe. As the city speaks of Jacobus, the Champion of Capua!”
More cheers as the gladiator stands distinguished among his brothers. In your chest, you feel a swell of pride. But also, irritation. You’ll have no solace from your pain here and you will not waste your day grieving over what should have been. You feign disinterest while taking a bite of cheese.
“But his legend was not birthed in the arena,” Doctore says. “It was given life here, in this ludus. Under the sting of my whip! Attack!”
The men go at it again with a renewed vigor, grunting and howling, wooden swords clashing with dull but resonating thuds. How easily these men are worked into a fervor! And how easily your passion swells likewise. This business of gladiators is a sordid thing, but you would be false to say that there is no art in it. Surely, anyone who watches someone such as Jacobus move could see the skill and cleverness in every gesture.
“Doctore, attend,” Alexander calls to Doctore, then turns to kiss Ophelia’s temple. “We are off to market.”
His words pique your interest. You feel as though you will go mad if you stay stuck in the villa all day with nothing to entertain you save the sounds of the gladiators training. Besides, you think you should buy something new for the reception for the Vulcanalia. This will be the first time in ages that you will be able to socialize with people other than your godfather and his wife, and you plan to make the most of it.
"Godfather, allow me to accompany you,” you say. “Weeks in Capua and I have yet to go to market!"
Alexander considers you for a moment and then nods his head, giving you the approval that you need. Your smile must be infectious because the otherwise somber man’s lips upturn slightly as he notes your excitement. 
“Let us away, then,” Alexander says to you, then turns and heads inside the villa, you following close behind.

I have a bit of anxiety because a hurricane’s going to pass near my city and I’ve easily read well over a hundred of em so here’s a list of my fave tropes/concepts in trobed fics (plus author recommendations and a note to the fandom):
Announcements through any variation of the “Troy and Abed in the morning!” jingle:
“-are together!”
“-are engaged!”
“-being boyfriends!”
“-become canon!”
Upon them getting together: (very consistent)
Annie saying “Aww! You guys!” *hugs them*
Bets are paid up, sometimes to the exact date/time.
Britta being an overzealous ally.
Shirley accepting them like the loving Christian woman she is.
Members not being surprised.
I love you:
“I love you for all time.” “I love you for all space.”
Complete/reverse parallel of “I love you.” “I know.”
On a related note, this post made me lose my mind all over again.
Abed being Troy’s favorite person.
Platonic!! “I love you”s!!
Mirrored letter closings like “I miss you and I love you.”
Engagement:
Proposing at the same time.
Proposing in a bouncy house/any silly circumstance.
Troy wanting Nadir-Barnes.
A wedding full of homages and hijinks because of course.
Annie telling Troy, “He tried to replace you with his love interest and I tried to replace you with my brother. It was rather on the nose in hindsight,” is GENIUS.
The GENRE that is Epidemiology:
Fighting zombies together!!
Comforting each other/making their doomsday plan after the unknown trauma.
“His thumb grazes across the dark circles under Abed's eyes. Part of him hoped that the action would get rid of them, like wiping away markings on a dry erase board. Even though he knew it wouldn't work, he found himself a little upset that they remained.” I burst into tears.
Affectionate things:
Casually sharing one of the bunks (or doing so because of nightmares).
Platonic cuddling.
“like gently hugging a sack of antlers.” The first fic I read and absolutely everything I wanted.
Forehead kisses.
Abed latching onto/laying across Troy in his sleep. (very consistent; it makes him seem so small.)
Characterization I can see/hear:
“I’m fine,” he said, knowing they didn’t know to ask the spelling.
Abed tilting his head, “cool cool cool,” spreading his hands to set the scene like the storyteller he is.
Troy’s (ADHD brain) mental association gymnastics, saying the wrong word and Abed correcting him (rare detail I want more of), stuff “wrinkling his brain.”
Having buttered noodles, special drink, Lucky Charms, and other fun things.
Abed being described to have doe eyes or gentle, mysterious ones.
Every single time they do the handshake, I mime half of it with a huge grin.
Post-canon: (haven’t read much but happy to have access now)
The ghosts of Original Abed and Original Troy getting to be together forever.
This THREE!!!! PARAGRAPH!!!! HUG!!!!
Never realizing they were in love the entire time because they’re huge dorks and having to figure that out together.
Troy not needing the homing pigeon gene because he was always coming back anyway.
Abed healing from all the acknowledged canon trauma he went through after Troy left, especially with Troy’s help.
Separated character development so they could be together.
General serotonin:
Open, honest communication, especially that expands on scenes or adds missing ones through episode rewrites.
“Troy and Abed at IKEA!”
Understanding all of each other’s facial expressions, and Troy’s huge grins in return to Abed’s small smiles.
Creating something better than anything that’s ever been on TV.
Anything in the Dreamatorium room as it should be.
Intentionally or not acting out “homages” to romcom tropes like Only One Bed or Fake Dating but also subverting/avoiding certain tropes like Miscommunication because they know better.
Troy just knowing how to follow through on a bit without being told, such as in the wedding fic linked earlier, in which 
[“Oh, duh. Don’t worry, guys, I know what this is.” He jogged the length of the apartment twice, and all their friends stared.] and I laughed.
Walking through the halls holding hands and swinging them as far as they can for fun.
Troy calling Abed “buddy” whatever their relationship status is.
Someone else may have made the drawing in the textbook, but Troy added the hearts.
Abed making movies about them because it’s the best story.
Some of my favorite AO3 authors are:
onemechanicalalligator @1mechanicalalligator​
They pack a strong emotional punch in every single work and it’s beautiful.
Fave work: the entire Topics in Romance and Recovery Series; I really need to comment on stuff, but it’s hard to articulate. This series was so validating and healing for me, especially since some of the incidents Abed went through gave me so much anxiety, but also because “Your feelings are valid,” and “Meltdowns aren’t your fault,” started sinking into my head, too. They said they wrote from experience, and I could see it, and I’m so proud of them. We all deserve healing and love.
bothsexuals
Lots of cute concepts and soft single-chapter works I blazed through most of in a few nights.
One of my fave works so far: don’t ever set me aside with the things that you don’t need (a conventions of space and time rewrite); THIS IS HOW EASY IT WOULD BE to make the show more inclusive and kind while staying genuine and funny!! It would be so easy!! But also take effort from people who genuinely cared, like this author. Thank you so much.
In conclusion, to everyone who’s ever written or enjoyed/spread these ideas, and gave this wonderful pairing everything they deserve:
Tumblr media
Thank you!! Nya’ll deserve representation and wholesome relationships you believe in portrayed to their fullest potential!! And you do what you can to manifest that and it’s valid and appreciated, trust me!! You only amplify the serotonin they gave me in canon!! Please don’t end posts with “haha never mind I know it’s not-” because those ideas are VALID and you should fully embrace them in your heart!! It’s nya’ll’s movie now!! Make it what you want!!
Please tell me anything I missed that you love, too!!
God bless, Tori. ♥

Dog Days Part 24: Three Shots Fired
((Marvin provides a distraction so Abe and Jackie can get into the studio undetected, Abe to find Wilford, Jackie to find his friends. This plan turns out to be terrible on every level.
Warning: Shooting/someone shown getting shot, no gore/details. I promise this warning will only show up one more time in this series. This is also probably the longest part in the series so far.
And here are links to the masterlist for the series and to Part 23.))
Any hopes Abe had of getting any answers out of Marvin or this other guy in the red hoodie on the drive to the studio were crushed, because once the magician was sure he knew where to go, he didn’t have another word to say to the hunter. In fact, as Abe pulled out onto the street and started driving, he asked again, “How do you two know Wilford? And why do you think he’s at this TV studio?” only to be met with silence.
Abe slowed at the red light and glanced in the rearview mirror, where he saw the two of them clearly talking in the backseat, but in the driver’s seat he couldn’t hear a single word of it. Apparently, they couldn’t hear him either, or were too busy arguing to notice.
Great. As if this whole situation wasn’t suspicious enough. Marvin might as well have held up a giant sign saying they were keeping something from him, and knowing that the magician could throw the whole “hired to stalk one of his friends for a shady client” thing back into his face didn’t make it any better.
“Why are we taking him?” Jackie asked, his eyes darting toward the hunter in the front seat. “Wasn’t the whole plan to keep him away from Y/N until we figured out what his deal is?”
“I think his deal is that he’s just an idiot,” Marvin answered. He had tossed up the silence spell as soon as the car started moving, because he suspected Jackie wouldn’t be able to keep from saying something. “And we need to get there as fast as we can, without drawing too much attention. We don’t know what we’re walking into, here.”
“Which is why we shouldn’t be bringing him! I can get there faster on my own, and don’t you have some kind of teleportation spell?”
“Sure, and we can set off every alarm in the place and never make it inside to find the others. You think a place like that doesn’t have security of their own?” Marvin asked. “Why isn’t Chase picking up his phone?!”
“I don’t know, it just keeps going straight to voicemail, and JJ’s not answering any of my texts either,” Jackie said, glancing down at his phone again. “I thought going to the studio was supposed to be safe!”
“How were we supposed to know the Colonel would be there?” Marvin rubbed his eyes, causing his shades to rise up before falling back into place on his nose. “I should have brought my mask, I just didn’t think…But if they’re stuck on a tour, then maybe they haven’t had a chance to run into him yet, if he even is there. From the way the hunter talks, it’s not like he hangs around anywhere for very long.”
“Even if we do get them out before they run into the Colonel, we still have to deal with him,” Jackie said, tilting his head in the direction of the front of the car. “I don’t trust him, and a public building where we already know one murderer might be walking around isn’t exactly the place I want to find out whether I’m right or not. He doesn’t know about Y/N, does he?”
“Of course not! But it’s not like we can hide them from him if he’s…hm.” Marvin paused, and despite his covered eyes, Jackie could see the gears turning in his mind before he said. “Then again, maybe he can be useful.”
Marvin heard Jackie’s noise at the suggestion and turned toward him as he continued, “No, listen. We can’t just go in there, guns blazing, but I also don’t think we’re going to get anywhere at the front desk without just being told to wait for the tour to end. I can give you two an opening to get in, and something to help you track down the others.”
Marvin reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a gold coin, before a twist of his fingers revealed him to be holding two coins.
“One for you, one for the hunter. I enchant them both with basic location spells, but while yours leads you to the others, his is focused on the Colonel, on Wilford. You can get them out of there, while he can have it out with Wilford like he wants without ever knowing Y/N’s there.”
And if he happened to take care of one of the men responsible for what happened to you in the process, then Marvin was completely fine with that.
“And if they’re all in the same place?” Jackie asked.
Marvin shrugged. “Then it’s already a disaster and you’ll just have to do the best you can until I can follow behind. Teleporting out will be a lot easier than getting in. Either way, we’re not going to have a repeat of what happened to Y/N the last time those two were together. Deal?”
Jackie hesitated and then nodded, determination settling in as he said, “Deal.”
Marvin snapped his fingers, dispelling the silence before he said, “Abe.”
“Oh, am I allowed to join in now?” Abe asked sarcastically. “Or are you just checking in to make sure your driver hasn’t made a wrong turn?”
Marvin chose to ignore that and explained to Abe about the coins, or at least what the one he was going to get would do.
“It’ll be kind of like a hot or cold thing,” Marvin said. “Coin gets warmer the closer you are to the person you’re looking for, as long as you’re focused on them. Not very sophisticated and doesn’t work when they’re too far away, but it’s fast to create and should work for this.”
“And what will you be doing?” Abe asked as he took the next turn. They were getting close to the studio now, and he still had no reason to trust either of these guys. “While I’m playing hot or cold with a chocolate coin?”
“This isn’t—” Marvin paused to sniff the coin to be sure and continued, “It’s not chocolate! And I’ll be providing the distraction, while Jackie will be…Look, we have friends in there we’d rather keep safe. You do your thing, and we’ll take care of ours. Deal?”
Abe frowned. One hell of a coincidence, their friends being in the studio where Wilford supposedly might be. Then again, Marvin had seemed genuinely surprised to learn the Colonel and Wilford were one and the same person, and the truth spell back in the coffee shop made it feel like that kind of thing would be hard to fake.
“Wait, the truth spell,” Abe said, glancing over his shoulder at the magician. “Did you get rid of that before we left?”
“Keep your eyes on the road,” Marvin said quickly, and slowly breathed out when the car returned to its lane before he answered, “It wasn’t designed to last long. Should be fine, as long as no troubled couples got into the booth right after we left…Nothing that a little therapy couldn’t work out, anyways. And if you don’t want to do this, that’s fine. Just drop us off outside the studio and keep driving.”
It would certainly make things easier, to the point Marvin was almost a little disappointed when Abe shook his head and said, “No, if there’s even a chance that man’s there, then I’m going in. You two do whatever you need to, and we’ll stay out of each other’s way.”
Marvin nodded and settled back into his seat, where he focused his attention on the two coins that he held in either palm. It was a simple spell, but he did need to concentrate if he wanted to have them ready by the time they reached the studio.
Still driving, Abe could feel the stare of the other man on the back of his head, and when he glanced into the mirror, he could see Jackie’s icy glare, his mouth turned down as if watching someone who just kicked a dog winding up to push a little old lady over in the middle of the street. Who was this guy, and why was he looking at Abe like that? Usually, the hunter could figure out what he had done or said to get that kind of hate directed his way, but as far as he knew the two of them hadn’t so much as shared a word yet. He would have blamed it on whatever Marvin told them about their conversation behind that spell of his, but he was pretty sure Jackie had been ready to throw hands the second he stepped out of the coffee shop.
Except there was that red hoodie of his, and with a sinking sensation Abe remembered the photos he showed Google, accusing him of being the red blur just barely caught on film. A blur that showed up outside of the clinic, very much like the man wearing red Abe thought he saw when he was talking to Jackson. Add in that the magician had thought he was responsible for what happened to the Host, and the doctor knowing he was being watched, and…
Marvin’s idea to split up was looking better and better by the second.
Abe found a parking spot on the street and heard, as he got out of the car, Jackie murmur to Marvin, “There’s his car. They’re still here.”
The magician nodded, looking grimly determined as he tossed Abe and Jackie their coins. “Keep these in your hand, and once you’re in the building, just focus on who you’re looking for. It works best if you have a clear image of one person in mind, which shouldn’t be a problem for you, hunter. Jackie, you’ll probably want to focus on Chase since you’ve known him the longest.”
Abe glanced down at the coin, taking in the ornate carving and what looked like an eye on one side and a bird of some kind on the other. “What kind of coin is this?”
Marvin shrugged. “Fairy gold, I think? The cheap kind that’s given to mortals to get rid of them and disappears after an hour or two.”
He paused at their expressions and added, “You know, get rid of in a general sense. Not, like, specifically, in this case.”
Jackie looked at his coin again and said, “This kind of looks like a doubloon, you know, the kind you’d find in pirates’ treasure?”
“Could be that too. You meet all kinds in the Other Realms, and they all kind of suck at cards, which…” Marvin patted himself down, muttering under his breath about everyone telling him to leave his working stuff at home and make a good impression, until he pulled out a pack of cards. “Right! Let me go in first, looks like there’s just a receptionist, so once she’s distracted you two can slip right in to the elevators.”
“Oh god,” Jackie murmured, realization dawning as he recognized the cards. “You’re not going to try to do that trick again, are you?”
“…The pick my card one, or the one that involves the flash powder?” Marvin asked.
“They’re both terrible! You can use real magic, why do you—”
“Shush, and watch a professional,” Marvin said, pressing a finger to Jackie’s lips before turning and walking through the glass doors of the studio.
“Oh no,” Jackie muttered again as the magician sauntered up to the front desk and leaned casually against it, flipping his hair out of his face before he started talking. From here, they could only see the young woman’s surprise turn into a bemused smile as Marvin began laying out the cards on the counter. “He’s flirting.”
“Is he that bad at it?” Abe asked.
“I don’t know, it just makes it that much sadder when he—” Jackie stopped with a sigh as the entire deck of cards scattered up into the air and began slowly drifting down, only for the first card to hit the floor with a flash and a bang that made the poor receptionist shriek, not helped when Marvin pulled her under the desk as the rest of the cards began to go off as they hit the ground. “Come on, before security gets here!”
Jackie grabbed Abe’s arm and ran inside, easily dodging the drifting cards but leaving the hunter to try and keep up on his own. By the time they reached the elevators, out of sight of the front desk, Abe was swearing and beating out a small flame on one of his sleeves.
“What the hell kind of distraction was that? Is he trying to let the whole building know we’re here?” Abe asked, but Jackie wasn’t listening.
“Still got your coin? Great, you can take one of the elevators, I’ll take the stairs,” Jackie said, pushing him inside of the opening doors after having already hit the call button.
“Wait, how am I supposed to use the coin in here?” Abe asked. “I don’t know which floor—”
But this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the hunter, and Jackie’s answer was to reach inside and run a hand over the buttons, lighting up as many as he could in one go before stepping out of the way of the closing doors. “Focus, and get out when the coin turns warm. From there it’s on you, so good luck with that, hunter.”
Jackie had to admit, it felt good to see the indignation on Abe’s face before the doors slid shut, but he didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy it. From the sound of it, the last of the cards were drifting down, and when he darted into the stairwell, he looked back in time to see Marvin backing toward the front doors, his hands held up in defense as his apologies were drowned out by the receptionist’s review of his performance.
He locked eyes with the magician and raised his phone, Marvin giving a subtle nod of understanding before Jackie began running up the stairs. On his side, Marvin had the phones he had retrieved from the bin behind the desk while the receptionist had been distracted, both of which he recognized as Chase’s and Jameson’s. Said receptionist who was now pulling off her shoe in a way that suggested he should probably go now.
Once outside and with maybe a block or two between him and the very angry young lady, Marvin could stop and take a breath before considering how he would get himself into the building if they needed an out.
“Should’ve brought the mask,” he muttered, already aware of the cracks forming in his shades as the spells built into them began to wear thin. Once those were gone, any hope of being “subtle” about this (not that there was much of one to begin with) went out the window. “Or the dagger, or the marbles, or the wind-up mouse, but no, it might look bad, Marvin.”
But the “I told you so” would have to wait until later, when he had the right audience for it. For now, Marvin made his way back toward the studio, careful to keep his distance as he watched the security guards trying to calm down the receptionist.
As he watched, they leaned over the counter and pulled up something on the computer. Marvin hissed, realizing that they must have cameras around here, just as one of the guards picked up a nearby phone and called someone before nodding to the other guard who went in the direction of the elevators.
Great. Hopefully Jackie and Abe were still moving, but Marvin couldn’t exactly wait around for a call. He squinted, and had to move closer to get the details from the guard standing at the desk, but once he was sure he reached up and rubbed the charm hanging from his left ear between his thumb and index finger until the illusion spell in it took hold.
Marvin opened the lobby door and walked in, passing by the receptionist and guard without slowing down or making eye contact. The guard glanced at him and then turned his attention back to the receptionist, who was saying something about how “that thing” creeped her out, sure in his own mind that he had just seen one of the other guards walk by. Not enough to answer if someone asked who exactly he had seen, just someone in the right kind of uniform with a face more or less like someone he had seen around probably.
The point was to act confident and keep moving, not to give anyone the chance to think about him twice or ask him any questions. To look like he knew where he was going, although when Marvin stepped into the elevator, he knew that couldn’t be farther from the truth. As soon as the doors closed, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Jackie, hoping that he had managed to get somewhere in those few minutes.
Only to freeze when he heard the sound of gunshots somewhere in the building above.
Jackie had moved quickly, only pausing at the door of each floor to give enough time to make sure the coin hadn’t grown any warmer before running up the next flight of stairs. Keeping his focus on Chase was a lot harder than he expected it to be, with everything else going on, and he was starting to wonder if he was doing this right when he felt the heat start to spread out from the coin. He ran up to the next floor to be sure, only for the coin to immediately grow colder once he was just five steps away.
Jackie went back down and pushed open the door, listening for any sound or sign of anyone else, but the hallways were empty. He had lost count of the floors a while ago, but a sign across from the elevator proclaimed this floor to be part of Studio 5, whatever that meant. He glanced back at the elevator as it dinged open, but there was no sign of the hunter inside before it continued its way up, so it looked like Abe had either found where Wilford was hiding at or had been caught.
Either option worked for Jackie, really, and he trained his focus back on Chase as he kept close to the walls. By the time he reached the room with the recording light lit up above it and the glass window that looked into the small studio, the coin was practically burning in his hand, but the second he looked in and his concentration broke, it went as cold as the chill at the back of his mind.
Jameson and Chase were sitting at a table, arguing with two identical twins with a set of microphones between them, but there was no sign of you or anyone else in the room, not even when he leaned to get a better look at the corner near the door. Desperately, he knocked on the window, too thick for them to hear even when he shouted their names, and then yanked open the door.
Ignoring the protests of the other two men, Jackie asked, “Where’s Y/N?” and the coin in his hand became freezing cold.
---
When Abe stepped out of the elevator, a large sign pointed him in the direction of Studio 3, but the coin in his hand led him in the opposite direction until he finally found himself standing outside of a door with a star on it. The paint used to write the name “Wilford Warfstache” on it still looked fresh.
The hunter pocketed the hot coin and pulled out his gun. Still loaded with the five silver bullets, he turned off the safety and took a breath before knocking on the door.
“Come in,” came an all too familiar singsong voice inside.
It was all the invitation Abe needed.
He slammed the door open and raised his gun as he said, “Don’t move!”
“Hm? Well, I wasn’t really planning on it, but now I kind of want to,” answered the man sprawled out on a couch on the opposite side of a room that was such an eyesore of colors that Abe thought he could be forgiven for not immediately being able to pick Wilford out of the madness. The couch itself was a vibrant pink to match his mustache, as was the dressing table and mirror and the low end table between the two of them, the walls a bright cheery yellow, and the round rug that covered most of the floor was a spiral of pink and yellow. In the corner there was a yellow wardrobe with a carefully painted pink mustache on its front. Did this room used to belong to a clown or something?”
“Oh, the decorations? Do you like them? I picked them out myself,” Wilford said, leaning forward only to tilt his head when Abe made an incoherent shout. “You sure are jumpy, uh…Hold on, I know this one, it’s…Dave?”
Wilford pointed at Abe, his eyebrows raised and waiting for some kind of confirmation that didn’t come.
“Okay, not Dave. It’s never Dave, is it? Bim? No, Bim’s the other guy, the fluffy one…Steve? Dave?”
Wilford rattled off names, but Abe could only stare at him in disbelief before he had to shut him up.
“You know who I am! You shot me in the chest!”
“Now, that could be quite a lot of people,” Wilford said.
“You killed my partner, you killed my friend, you—” Abe sputtered, not sure why he was even doing this even as he exclaimed, “You killed so many people!”
“Well, yes, but you see—” Wilford bounced up onto his feet, only to pause and halfway raise his hands when Abe raised his gun again. Something about seeing the hunter ready to pull the trigger must have stirred something in his memory, because his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, “Abe! Abe. How have you been? I was just talking about you earlier with…who was it?”
“How have I—How do you think I’ve been?!” Abe moved into the room, using the heel of his foot to slam the door behind him. Not that it mattered, because he had no intention of letting anyone stop him now. “I’ve been looking for you, ever since that party. Ever since you…Ever since you destroyed everything!”
“Now, that seems like a bit of an exaggeration,” Wilford protested.
“An exaggeration? You killed your best friend, because of you the woman you loved and her brother, your other best friend, are both dead too, you tried to kill me, you killed Y/N—and then you think you can just walk away from all that, like nothing even happened?!” Abe’s grip was tightening on the gun, his finger close to pulling the trigger as tears began to sting the corner of his eyes, but he wanted to hear him say it, wanted to hear him admit to what he had done after all these years. Even if Abe was the only one to hear it, he needed this.
“I’m not sure you have the full story here,” Wilford started, only to pause when Abe pulled the trigger and nothing happened.
“That was just a warning,” Abe muttered as he pulled back the hammer on the gun. Internally though, he was cursing the luck that the one chamber that was empty happened to be the first one when he had a perfect shot lined up. “You really should stop talking.”
“Well, which is it that you want, for me to stop talking or to answer you? I’m getting some mixed signals here! And while it’s true that, in a sense, I may have done some terrible things, I never actually—”
Wilford ducked and pulled out his own gun when the hunter’s second attempt missed, but he just gestured wildly with it as he said, “Yes, I have one of those too, but if you would just listen to me, I think you might want to hear what I have to say!”
His eyes darted to the left as he considered his words and added, “Possibly. I’m starting to think you might just want to shoot me.”
“Really? What would you give that idea?” Abe asked sarcastically as he cocked the hammer again and aimed at Wilford’s face, determined that he wouldn’t waste this third chance. “You’re right. I don’t want excuses. I don’t want to hear what you have to say. I just want you dead.”
He pulled the trigger, but at the last possible second someone grabbed his wrist and threw off his aim. Abe hadn’t heard the door open behind him, partially because firing a gun in this small a space had temporarily wrecked his hearing, but he did hear his name being shouted as the last person he ever expected to see again stepped between him and Wilford.
“Abe! Stop! Just stop!”
“…Y/N?”
You were out of breath, but he sounded as breathless as you as the forgotten gun slipped out of his hand and hit the ground. At the noise, he suddenly realized how very close he came to shooting you when you did that. When you stopped the hunter from shooting him, but why? How could you do something so stupid, so reckless, so, so—
“What…? How…?” Abe struggled for words, his anger and concern fighting it out with confusion taking a chair to both of them, but you just shook your head.
“You need to hide, Google—” You froze, aware of the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps, and after a quick look around the room pushed Abe into a nearby wardrobe and shut the door on him, hissing, “Keep quiet!”
Abe started to protest, but he heard you turn and lean up against the wardrobe door just as the door to the dressing room opened and a voice he recognized spoke.
“Gunshots have been fired in this room,” Google said, staring around before focusing on you in the corner, and then turning back to Wilford when he shrugged and answered.
“It happens. Why, just earlier I—” Wilford gestured with his gun and Abe had to bite his fist to keep from crying out when he heard the shot and the silence before he said, “Sorry about that, Googs.”
“It’s…fine,” Google said, although his tone suggested otherwise. Outside the wardrobe, you and Wilford watched as the magitek unit wiped the splash left by the wax bullet off of his cheek with a noise of disgust before he said, “I am looking for unauthorized intruders in the building. One is currently unidentified, while the other matches my files for a hunter by the name of Abe Lincoln.”
That made Abe pause. Why would a TV studio have a record on him? Wasn’t like he had ever been here before, and from the little he knew of DE Studios they were more likely to hire the monster than a hunter. He wanted nothing more than to push open the wardrobe door just a crack, just enough to see what color shirt this Google unit was wearing, but you were leaning so hard against it that he couldn’t even hope for some fresh air to counter the smell of mothballs in Wilford’s catastrophe of a closet. What was the large fuzzy thing against his leg? It didn’t just move, did it?”
“Good for you,” Wilford answered cheerfully. “It’s good to have a hobby.”
“Looking for intruders is not…” Google paused and then decided to ask you instead, “Have you seen either of these men? They must be dealt with using the full extent of my abilities to handle such pests.”
“I don’t think that’s true,” you pointed out.
“…But it is the ideal option, and therefore the most logical one to take,” Google answered, making you wonder what was included in his definition of “ideal.” “I will repeat the question, have you seen these men?”
“Sorry, Google, I think you’ll have to look somewhere else.”
Google considered you for a moment before saying, “Based on my records, this would be the ideal location to find the intruder, although it is possible that he managed to get himself lost. Humans have a tendency to need…direction.”
“Nah, getting lost is half the fun, Google,” Wilford said. “You should try it some time. Right now, even.”
“I am incapable of getting lost, and such distractions are unnecessary at this time,” Google answered. “I am going to continue my search now.”
“Good luck,” Wilford called after him before he shut the door and remarked to you, “You know, sometimes I think that guy is a little—”
He paused as Abe fell out of the wardrobe, wildly kicking back what turned out to be, in the light, a large, pink afro. The hunter froze, unable to explain why that had seemed so much scarier in the wardrobe, but then he had more important things to worry about than his pride when his eyes refocused on you and the questions he just couldn’t begin to wrap his mind around yet.
“Y/N. You’re…”
Here. Alive. Real.
And shaking, your arms wrapped around your chest but not quite able to hide the tremors running up and down your body.
“Are you okay?” Abe asked, his mind immediately jumping to the worst. When he fired before, he hadn’t…? But there’d be a sign, they couldn’t hide it if the bullet had…For a moment, Abe thought he was going to be sick himself.
“There’s too much…Just, just give me a second,” you said, taking a step back and clenching your eyes shut. If you could just shut it all out for a second, just have a chance to catch your breath for once in what felt like forever, but you couldn’t do it. After seeing what had become of Damien and Celine, of having all of that rage and anger turn into fear and adrenaline as you raced down the stairs, following the sounds of gunshots while being terrified what you might find, running in to find Abe and Wilford with guns drawn, reliving the worst moment of your life again even if it didn’t turn out like that, it was no wonder you felt like your chest was trying to cave in along with the rest of the world. The corners of your eyes were burning, but more terrifying was the feeling that at any second…Why was it so hard to even breathe?
Abe stared, but then it wasn’t like he could take his eyes off of you. He could see the lines of your face, your shoulders and spine, shifting back and forth like you were trying to hold yourself in place. Like you were trying not to transform right here and now. More than that, you looked—afraid? Sad?
Alone.
Abe became aware of Wilford wildly gesturing to get his attention before making a gesture, and the hunter felt a brief surge of the same rage that had taken him just minutes before. What the hell did he think he was doing? Wilford shook his head and gestured again, before finally resorting to mouthing the words as large as possible without making a sound. Even then, Abe hesitated, unsure if it was because he didn’t want to take that kind of advice from him, or because he wanted so much to do it that it was almost terrifying.
Either way, it didn’t take long to give in and move closer to you.
You flinched backwards out of reflex, but Abe said, “It’s just me, Y/N. It’s just…”
He struggled for what to say before just pulling you into a hug. Something he’d never got the chance to do before it all went wrong. You pressed your face into his chest, focusing on the smell you wouldn’t have ever thought you’d miss in that life. Holding you, Abe could feel you slowly relax, the tension not quite disappearing but fading enough that you could sigh and speak again.
“I missed you, Abe.”
“I missed you too, Partner.”
“Oh, this is just lovely, isn’t it?” Wilford said, and Abe rocked back on his heels as he joined in the hug, his arms wrapping around the both of you. “Look at us, together again!”
“Where’s my gun?” Abe growled, already looking down to see where he had dropped it.
“Don’t,” you said, and Abe could hear the exhaustion in your voice. “Please, Abe, not now. You need to know what really happened that weekend, and I promise I’ll try to…”
You sighed, head already hurting at the idea of trying to explain everything that happened. Your chest ached again, but you could feel the strength leaving your body like it had the night before last when you changed back, as if staying human was too much of an effort on top of everything else.
But you just had to make it a little longer, that’s all.
“But we need to get out of here,” you continued. Google was still roaming the halls, and Dark… You grimaced at the thought and felt the fangs in your mouth for a moment before they receded back into your regular teeth. “Please.”
Abe hesitated. Wilford was right here, he could end this all right now, but you were clearly not okay. His mind went back to when he left you in that hallway, told you to leave while he went running after the Colonel. He had often thought about that moment, remembered the look on your face, your grief at losing your friend combined with the confusion and the pain from your own injuries, and what he would have done differently if he had been given the chance.
He just didn’t think it would be this hard, to say, “Okay. We’ll go.” To pick up his gun and holster it, to keep an arm around you for support. To walk away and leave Wilford there, smiling and waving as though seeing off a couple of old friends.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep Googs busy for you,” Wilford said, and Abe felt the back of his neck itch with the desire to turn around and finish what he started. “I’ll make sure your name is added to the guest list, Abe, so feel free to come back any time!”
Abe made a noise at that but tried to hold back what he wanted to say for your sake. He had every intention of coming back here and settling this, once he was sure you were safe this time.
Wilford watched the two of you make your way down the hall, still waving until he stopped as if just noticing something was wrong. He rolled his shoulder back and then prodded it, his fingers finding the small hole in his shirt and then, with a bit of work, pulling out a used silver bullet.
“Huh.” Somewhere in the back of his mind, he had a vague thought that, if you hadn’t intervened and this bullet had hit where Abe had been aiming, it would have been very bad. There was also something familiar about that whole business, an old face reappearing in his dressing room…But that thought quickly passed and he tossed the misshapen piece of silver over his shoulder with a shrug before turning his mind back to what he was supposed to be doing.
Or he would have, if that little distraction hadn’t made him forget. All thought of you and the hunter had disappeared as soon as the two of you were out of sight, so he swayed on his feet for a moment in the hallway, mind blank. If it were really important, he was sure it would figure itself out on its own without him. Most things usually did.
“Wilford Motherloving Warfstache! What have I told you about shooting in the building?!”
Right. Kathryn, his producer. His very angry producer, judging by the look on her face. Wilford inhaled, an excuse ready on his lips, before he dove back into his dressing room and shut the door with the faint hope that maybe she’d just keep walking on. Maybe she was yelling at someone else who also just happened to be named Wilford Motherloving Warfstache too, in which case, rude, Wilford was pretty sure he had this name first.
Either way, keeping Google busy was something that would only occur to him days later, when he would decide the best way to do that was spill a martini down Google’s pants. Not exactly helpful to you, but the Jims would have a field day catching that moment on film.
For now, Abe walked you to the elevators and pressed the down arrow, although he wasn’t sure what the plan would be once you reached the lobby. Just walk out and hope no one was too worried about people getting out of here, although if they had already spotted him on the cameras…
“No, we need to go up,” you protested, pushing the up arrow. “To Studio…5, I think?”
You rubbed your eyes, trying to push back the headache forming behind them, and shook your head when Abe said, “No, we don’t. We need to get out of here, remember?”
“My friends—” you started, only for the stair well door to crash open as Jackie, followed closely by Jameson and Chase, came spilling out and froze at the sight of you and Abe. “Have really good timing? Jackie, what are you—”
You were cut off as Jameson pulled you into a hug and then stepped back to look you up and down before signing, “Are you okay? We heard shooting!”
“Wait, you know them?” Abe asked.
“We came as fast as we could,” Jackie said to you, but he was glaring at Abe, who could already tell this guy was going to be a problem. “What the hell happened?”
“You didn’t actually shoot anyone, did you?” Chase asked, eyeing the gun at Abe’s side.
“No,” Abe answered, probably sounding a little more defensive than he meant to.
“Long story,” you muttered. “But we should get out of here first.”
“Security’s looking for us,” Abe added. Well, him in particular, but Jackie had also been caught on camera even if they hadn’t IDed him yet. “They checked the cameras fast, too fast for one person they know walked back out again. Probably because the magician’s distraction was a little…”
“Much, yeah,” Jackie admitted. That card trick of Marvin’s had given them the space to get in, but something forgettable like asking the receptionist for directions would have also done the trick without alerting every security guard in the building. “Something to work on for next time, but how do we get out of here?”
“Well, the three of us have guest passes,” Chase pointed out. “It’s just the two of you we have to worry about.”
Jackie had a suggestion ready for that, and Abe saw it coming, but he was interrupted by the elevator doors finally sliding open to reveal it was already occupied. At first most of the group tensed, thinking it was one of the security guards until he spoke.
“Oh, hi,” Marvin said, looking around and taking them all in with a quick count. “Well, this is easier than I thought it would be. Get in, we can’t just hang around here all day.”
Abe exhaled slowly, his eyes narrowing into a glare that Jackie matched, and Marvin rolled his eyes as they all got in.
“Not my fault someone decided to start shooting,” Marvin remarked as he pressed the doors close button on the elevator over and over again until they slid shut. “Everyone is going to be swarming up here any second thanks to you, which should actually make it a little easier to walk out.”
Jackie said, “For you, maybe. Hunter and I don’t exactly have badges or illusions to help us blend in.”
“Like I was going to say, that’s easy,” Chase said. “They just saw you on the cameras, right? At a distance, probably not that great quality video, so all they’re working on is ‘guy in a hoodie’ and ‘bald guy with a black jacket.’ Just take those off, let us hold them, and JJ, let the angry guy borrow your hat. We keep our heads down on the way out and run if we have to.”
Jackie and Abe both hesitated, but Jameson shrugged and pulled off his hat. “He has a point.”
But you shook your head, eyes shut tight as you leaned against the elevator wall and wished it didn’t shake so much, that there was a window or some kind of vent or fresh air of any kind with this many people around you.
“Google said he had a file on Abe, so they know what his face looks like.”
Jackie gave the hunter an accusing stare as he asked, “There a reason this place has a file on you? Maybe something you should have told us before we came in here?”
“How should I know?!” Abe asked, before the realization hit. “Wait, this Google, what color is his shirt?”
“It’s…blue,” Chase answered, with an agreeing nod from Jameson. “But why does that matter?”
Because if it was the red one, then at least Abe would know why they knew him. It would make things a whole lot simpler, if he knew someone here was behind that loose end.
“They have a file on Abe for the same reason Wilford’s here and I’m on the guest list,” you answered, shaking the VIP badge hanging around your neck. “The studio manager, the one in charge of everything here, is Damien and Celine, or whatever’s left of them.”
Marvin slammed his hand on the emergency stop button, causing the elevator to immediately halt and everyone to stumble and catch themselves and each other while an alarm overhead began to go off.
“What are you doing?!” Abe said, his hand on your arm while Jameson was steadying you on the other side. “What happened to just walking out?!”
“New plan,” Marvin answered as he dropped to his hand and knees with a piece of chalk in hand. He drew a large symbol in the center of the elevator floor before scuttling around to draw a circle within the space the elevator provided, which meant pushing each of them out of the way in turn. “We are not taking any more chances, so teleport spell. Easier when we’re not moving. Now get in the circle, all of you, and try not to step on the chalk.”
“Didn’t you say this place would have something to stop people from doing this?” Jackie asked.
“To stop people from teleporting in, probably. Getting out though, why would anyone care about that?” Marvin looked at you, and when you met his stare through his sunglasses he asked, “Do you really think they’d let us leave?”
You sighed. After your talk with Dark, you weren’t sure of anything, and the scream of the alarm wasn’t making it any easier to think. “I don’t know.”
Marvin glanced at Jackie, who reluctantly nodded. Better not to risk it, if they could, not after what the twins did to you last time.
Once he was sure they were all in, Marvin stepped into the center of the circle and focused his energy. Around them, the chalk lit up with a brilliant blue light, reflecting off of the shiny walls of the elevator and giving them all a sickly color. To you, it was just a bright, colorless light that suddenly changed at the same second you heard Marvin’s breath catch.
The light in the elevator turned red before the circle suddenly drew in around the magician, whose head went back before he collapsed on the ground, flashes of red running up and down his body before they disappeared, taking the teleportation circle he had drawn with them.
“Marvin!”
The shout came from all sides, Jameson dropping to his knees first to look the magician over before looking up at the rest of you.
“He’s still breathing. I don’t know what he’s trying to say, though.”
There was a steady stream of words flowing from the magician’s mouth which to everyone else may have sounded like another one of his spells. You on the other hand could clearly hear that it sounded like every swear word Marvin knew, spoken as fast as possible under his breath, although you could only guess that was the case considering he had left English behind a while ago for German and had taken a detour into what now sounded like Gaelic. He was clearly in pain, but also not too injured from whatever just happened.
Jackie knelt to check his vitals, only to have to steady Jameson as the elevator floor suddenly jolted. The alarm stopped, and you all became aware of the elevator moving downward again just before the doors slid open to reveal the hallway to the lobby, along with Google and three armed guards who were all aiming into the elevator.
There was a moment of silence before Google said, “Intruders located. Lethal force suggested.”
His eyes changed as he stepped forward toward Abe or Marvin and Jackie on the ground you weren’t sure, and you could feel the hum of his machinery whirring up to do something before you blocked his path.
“Back off,” you growled, and it was a literal growl as you could feel the wolf taking over, as your features started to blur and shift. You felt the metal under his skin as you pushed him back out of the elevator, could smell the fear on the three all too human guards, could hear the others behind you holding their breath in shock as the fur began to show, as your teeth and claws came out. “You—”
Whatever you were about to say was cut off as one of the guards panicked and fired his gun, the blast of noise hurting far more than the punch of it hitting your stomach. It knocked the breath out of you, and for a moment everything seemed to slow.
Abe.
Out of reflex or instinct, your hand reached back and grabbed Abe’s wrist, stopping him before he could grab his gun and make himself a target. Your grip was too tight at first, and you tried to relax, to give him and the others behind you some signal that you were okay, even as underneath the ringing you could hear Jackie leaping to his feet and the panic of the others. Your mind felt like it was running too fast and too slow at the same time, but you felt strangely calm.
It was just a regular bullet, after all.
None of them managed to move faster than Google though, who without hesitation reached over and twisted the guard’s wrist with a sickening sound that was followed by his gun hitting the ground and a whimper of pain.
“Shooting VIPs is strictly forbidden,” Google said.
VIPs. The adrenaline racing through your system hit that word and stumbled across an idea that was completely ridiculous and stupid, mostly because you had a faint hope it might actually work.
“Google,” you said, drawing the magitek unit’s attention to you. It hurt, talking, each word a reminder of the sting in your stomach that was too slowly fading. “VIPs are allowed to bring guests, right? Is there a limit on how many I can have?”
Google considered the question while the other two guards just stared and exchanged looks, both very aware of their coworker lying in pain on the ground and the problem of this clearly non-human person who was still talking despite being doubled over a gunshot wound. “No, there is currently no limit in the policy. A concerning oversight that should be corrected.”
“But until then, there isn’t one. Which means—” You stopped to hiss slightly, your grip tightening on Abe’s wrist until the next surge of pain dimmed a little to continue, “—that as of now, everyone in that elevator is a guest of mine, understand? And if they’re guests, then that means they can’t be intruders.”
You could feel the fur start to settle and disappear, the claws and fangs slowly begin to retract. Too late to undo what they had all seen, but you couldn’t think about that right now. Even if a small part of you was wondering why Abe hadn’t pulled away yet, or if that flash of anger and what you could be would be enough to change how the others looked at you.
“Your logic appears to be…correct,” Google said, but his expression said he was still trying to find the hole in it. “But they do not have visitor passes.”
You hesitated, but Chase stepped forward and said, “That’s right, which you told us means they should be escorted out of the building, right? And since we’re already on our way out…”
“Understood,” Google said, sounding almost disappointed that he wasn’t able to break a few more bones. “Follow me.”
One of the security guards stepped forward and said, “Hold on, you can’t just—”
He paused, his eyes going to somewhere in the elevator behind you, and he swallowed and looked back at the other guard still standing who muttered back, “I’m not paid enough for this.”
Besides, it would be easier to blame Google than try to get involved at this point, or that seemed to be the guards’ point of view as they helped their third comrade up to his feet and out of the way.
Jackie picked up Marvin, who protested in a slurred voice, and you let go of Abe’s wrist only to find the hunter slipping his arm around you, his hand enveloping yours over the wound underneath.
“Lean on me,” he murmured under his breath as Jameson moved to support you on your other side.
“I’m fine,” you muttered, even though that was an absolute lie. “It wasn’t silver.”
It was Abe’s turn for his grip to tighten, holding you closer as the strange group followed the magitek unit across the lobby floor. He didn’t want to think about what he had just seen, the shot that was an echo of what his imagination brought to mind every time it went back to that night.
“At least until they’re not watching,” Abe pleaded, aware of the guards still in the lobby, the receptionist behind her desk. Aware that they had already seen you in your in between state, the fur and the fangs and something else he hadn’t really seen in you before now: anger.
You leaned against him, too tired to argue, in too much pain to pretend you weren’t, and asked, “Does it really matter anymore?”
Abe glanced over your head at Jameson, whose expression reflected what he was already thinking. You could hear Chase somewhere behind you, apologizing in a low voice to the guards before Jackie hissed at him to hurry up, just as you could hear the ticking of Jameson’s pocket watch that felt slightly out of sync with the steady noise coming from Google as he stopped at the glass doors of the studio and turned back to face your group.
“I am required to thank you for your time here at Dark Entertainment Studios,” he said, his eyes running over the six of you before focusing on you in particular. “I have also been asked to issue you your permanent VIP card for future visits, as well as a message from the studio manager.”
You stared at him in silence before taking the laminated card and the folded piece of paper, unable to think of anything to say before Abe and Jameson walked you out with the other three just behind.
Outside, you blinked in the sunlight and found it did nothing to get rid of the spots appearing on the edges of your vision, and let Abe and Jameson lead you in the direction of the parking lot while your aching, weary mind could only focus on the note Google had handed you.
Think about what I said, Y/N. And know that you’re always welcome here.
No training required.
-Dark
You recognized the handwriting, which made it sting that much more as you remembered notes in Damien’s handwriting, passed to you in crowded lecture halls or left on your desk at work early in the morning or after a rough full moon. A fresh little reminder that the man you thought you knew, that man…
You wanted to be furious, angry, to let all those feelings he left you with come spilling out of your head so they would just leave you alone, but as you stared at the note you just felt so tired, so done with it all. You just wanted to close your eyes and forget it all, for a little while at least…
Abe pulled your hand down, his concerned face swimming in your vision as his mouth moved, saying words that seemed out of sync with what you heard before it disappeared entirely with the rest of the world.
Abe had been arguing with Jackie about which car to take you to when he felt the shudder run up and down your body. Jameson stopped on your other side and looked at Abe, his eyes filled with panic, but neither of them could say or do anything to get through to you in time to keep you conscious or to stop you from crashing to the sidewalk in the shape of the wolf.
((End of Part 24. Thank you for reading. I’m sorry to end it there, and I had hoped to have the next part ready soon, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. So just to be clear in the mean time, the turning back into the wolf thing isn’t going to be nearly as long-lasting as it was in the beginning, and Marvin is (mostly) fine. He just really, really sucks at flirting and rescue operations, so that’s something for him to work on before the end of the story.
I may try to get the rest of the story written before I start posting again, but we’ll see. Technically, we’re getting near the end, but there’s a lot left to happen and I haven’t exactly been very good at sticking to an outline, even if I like where the detours have gone (this whole studio section was supposed to be completely different, for example). For now though, it’s going to be another break until the next part is posted.
Scratch that, Part 25: Catching Up is now up.

Glowing Lights
They had been dating for a little while now, actually dating. 
They had to hide from practically everyone, sure, but there were some people that knew and couldn’t be happier for them, even if they knew their own parents never would. But that didn’t matter. 
It still hurt, sure, but they had each other.
Billy had been with guys before, even had the occasional boyfriend back in Cali, but it was never anything serious. He’d never experienced anything like this. 
He never thought he could be that deliciously, deliriously happy. Never imagined that he could feel that way, that it was okay to feel that way, but when he was with Steve, it was like he was invincible.
Before Billy, Steve had never really even thought about a guy like that. 
But then, Billy blazed into town with his piercing blue eyes and his electrifying energy. He took Steve’s breath away every time he looked at him, and when he touched him Steve couldn’t remember his own damn name. 
He was gorgeous. Just absolutely gorgeous. 
The most gorgeous human being Steve had ever met and he fell head over heels, even if he didn’t dare to admit it to himself at first.
But Billy had won him over. 
Steve had picked up on his flirtatious behavior, even if Billy tried to cover it up with punches afterwards, and after a while, he had started to flirt back. 
He noticed how Billy had tensed up at first, scared that there might actually be something more than flirting there. Billy had been burned one too many times before, if he wasn’t careful Neil would make them move again, would make sure he’d never see Steve again.
Steve had no such fears, sure his parents would not be on board, but he stopped caring about that long ago. 
And Steve had always been brave, and sure of what he wanted, and he knew he had never wanted anyone as much as he’d wanted Billy. 
So one day, when Billy had had him pinned down on the floor again after a brawl, and drawled ‘How many times’ve I gotta tell you to plant your feet, pretty boy?’ Steve had just snapped. 
He was hypnotized by those stormy eyes and the way Billy called him pretty boy, and before he knew it, Steve had pulled Billy down by his neck and crashed his lips on his.  
Billy had been shocked, he’d been terrified, but he’d also never wanted anything more in his life. 
He’d fallen for Steve a long time ago, but he didn’t dare dream that the feeling was mutual. So when Steve kissed him, it had at once been the scariest and most glorious feeling of his life.
They’d started their relationship on shaky legs, both of them scared of the implications of them dating. If the wrong person found out about them, they’d most likely lose each other. 
By then, they couldn’t picture life without each other anymore, which is why they had always been very careful with their affection. It was a lot of Billy sneaking through Steve’s window late at night, sneaking kisses in the dark, like they were right now.
They were sprawled on Steve’s bed, entangled in a passionate kiss. 
Steve’s hands were trailing his fingers over Billy’s glorious abs, thank fuck the guy never bothered buttoning his shirt. His leg was wrapped around Billy’s waist, feeling his hard-on growing in his pants as Steve writhed against him. 
They were both panting when Billy broke the kiss, his lips immediately attaching themselves to Steve’s neck. Steve moaned loudly as Billy sucked on his neck, careful not to leave any visible hickeys. "Shit, Billy…“ 
Billy loved it when Steve talked, it only spurred him on. 
His warm, big hand rested on Steve’s hips, his thumbs tracing the skin where his shirt had risen up. 
Steve pushed Billy’s shirt over his shoulders, letting it fall to the ground. Billy followed suit, pulling Steve’s shirt over his head in one swift motion, reaching down to undo his jeans. It was a quick flurry of clothes as they kicked out of their remaining clothes, leaving them both naked under the covers. 
Billy was still trailing kisses down Steve’s neck, moving his lips lower now, nipping at his collarbone lightly, his hand stroking Steve’s length. Steve whimpered under his touch. 
"Fuck, tiger, I want you” he moaned. 
“I know you do, pretty boy” Billy grinned smugly, stroking Steve more quickly, moving down the bed to settle on his knees between Steve’s legs the same way he’d done so many times before, but Steve stopped him with a slight shake of his head. 
“Want you to fuck me” Steve whispered, his cheeks turned pink. 
Billy’s heart rate picked up, his breath hitching in his throat. 
He pulled away from Steve, who whined at the lack of touch. “Really?" 
Steve nodded his head vigorously. 
"Baby, are you sure?” Billy didn’t want to rush him, but the thought of fucking Steve drove him out of his mind. Knowing that no one had ever touched Steve like that before, that he was gonna be the first - the only - one to open up this whole new world of pleasure for Steve turned him on like nothing ever had.
“Never been more sure” Steve was smiling brightly, his lust-blown eyes darker than Billy had ever seen them. 
“Fuck, Stevie” Billy pulled Steve closer, kissing him roughly, desperately. Steve answered, just as needy. 
Billy moved down on him slowly, sliding both his hands and mouth down Steve’s chest achingly slowly. He gave Steve a few lazy strokes before he dropped down and ran his tongue over Steve’s hole, making the boy jump. 
He licked Steve eagerly, opening him up with his tongue. Steve whined when Billy pulled back, and Billy grinned savagely at the sound. 
He loved how Steve always made it so clear he wanted him, it felt so good to be needed like that. 
He pressed two fingers to Steve bottom lip “Suck" 
Steve’s eyes widened, but he took Billy’s order without so much as a second thought, drawing his fingers into his mouth and bobbing his head on them like he would Billy’s cock. 
"Such a needy little slut, aren’t you princess?" 
Steve loved it. Absolutely loved it when Billy called him names. 
He nodded eagerly when Billy pulled his fingers from his mouth, dripping with his saliva. "Only for you, tiger” he smiled coyly. 
“That’s right, baby. You’re mine” Billy was practically growling, his low, gravelly voice dripping with want. 
He traced his wet finger over Steve’s hole before pushing in slowly. Steve moaned loudly, leaning in to Billy’s touch. Steve’s eager mewls sounded like music to Billy’s ears, he was never one to hold back. 
He added another finger and chuckled as Steve gasped out “Oh shit, yes, Billy!" 
"You like that princess?" 
Steve nodded his head furiously, writhing underneath him. 
"So damn eager and I’m only just getting started” Billy grinned mischievously as he curled his fingers, knowing that Steve would jolt when his fingers touched that spot. 
Steve moaned something incoherent as he arched his back up off the mattress. “So pretty for me, princess” Billy purred as he fucked Steve on his fingers. 
“You think you’re ready for me, gorgeous?" 
Steve nodded "Yes! Please, tiger, wanna feel you inside me" 
Billy laughed at Steve’s eager moans, that pretty mouth was going to kill him someday, Billy just knew it. Steve’s pleas always went straight to his cock, making him twitch impatiently. 
He reached over to Steve’s nightstand where he knew the boy kept a tube of lube, hidden under a bunch of magazines. 
"Turn on the light” Steve whispered. 
“What?" 
"Turn on the light, tiger, I wanna see you. Want you to see me" 
Billy was used to the dark, all his previous relationships had been like that, hasty and anxious, scared to get caught, but Steve wanted it to be different with him.
He wanted Billy to see him, didn’t want there to be a shred of a doubt that he was nothing like those previous guys. 
Steve didn’t want to be just another body. He wanted this to mean something. He wanted to mean something to Billy. 
Billy switched on the light, bathing them in the soft yellow hue and immediately he knew why Steve had asked, because the boy underneath him looked utterly beautiful. 
It had been so ingrained into Billy that the way he was wired was shameful, that it was somehow wrong and disgusting, but as he saw Steve’s adoring, lust-blown eyes focused so unwaveringly on him, he had never felt less ashamed of anything in his life. 
"You’re gorgeous" 
He kissed Steve deeply, before he took his hand and poured a generous amount of lube into it. "Gonna get me nice and ready for you, baby?" Steve nodded eagerly and wrapped his hand around Billy’s cock, rubbing the lube all over his length. 
Billy gave him one last kiss before he lined himself up with Steve’s hole, pressing his head against him. 
"You’re sure, Stevie?" 
"So sure, Billy, I want you, baby” Steve whined.
 "I want you too, pretty boy. Remember to breath, okay?“ Billy whispered before he pushed in slowly. 
He gave Steve plenty of time to adjust to his length, making sure he was okay. When he bottomed out Steve was biting his lip, breathing heavily. 
"Are you okay, baby?" 
Steve nodded, a little shakily "Yeah, yeah, I think so. M’ just so full, fuck, tiger, you’re so big" 
Billy smiled widely, because Steve looked so desperate for him, such a whimpering mess already and it was all for him… 
Steve whined again "Baby, please move, need you to fuck me, please" 
"Fuck, I love it when you beg for me, princess" Billy chuckled, because Steve immediately did it again, letting out a string of curses and pleas that Billy couldn’t ignore. 
He started moving his hips, fucking Steve slowly. "Fuck, pretty boy, you’re so tight” he moaned, rolling his hips into Steve. 
“Harder” Steve moaned. 
“You want it harder, princess? You sure about that?" 
Steve groaned, throwing his head back "Fuck me harder, tiger. C’m on, Billy, baby, stop teasing me…" 
Steve was clawing at his back, moving his hips to try and create more friction.
So fucking needy, Billy thought, but he couldn’t deny he loved it. He picked up his pace, driving his dick into Steve roughly, and if he’d thought Steve had been vocal before, it was nothing compared to now. 
He was moaning loudly, cursing out Billy’s name at the top of his lungs. He was panting and writhing underneath him, looking like heaven on earth, with his rolled back eyes and his hair slick against his forehead. 
"Fuck, Stevie, you’re so pretty, baby, so fucking gorgeous” Billy sighed, and Steve looked up at him with those big, glossy doe eyes 
“Y’re gonna make me cum if you keep talking like that, Billy" 
Billy wanted nothing more than to make him cum, so he kept talking. 
"You’re so hot, pretty boy… You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, noticed it the first time I saw you. M’ so lucky a guy as pretty as you would want me” He whispered in Steve’s ear, punctuating his words with sloppy kisses to Steve’s neck. 
Steve’s nails dug into his shoulders and he screamed out Billy’s name as he came, coating both of their abdomens in his cum. 
Billy knew he wasn’t going to last long either, the way Steve was clenching around him so sweet was making his vision blur. Steve was still shuddering, panting in Billy’s ear. 
“Fuck, princess” Billy moaned when Steve latched his lips onto his neck. 
Steve could feel Billy’s thrusts getting sloppier. He pulled him closed and kissed him deeply before he whispered into his ear “Want you to fill me up with your cum, tiger" 
And holy shit, if that wasn’t the hottest thing Billy had ever heard… 
He couldn’t hold back any longer, he felt the tight pull in his stomach before he released right into Steve with a groan. 
"Fuck, Billy!” Steve moaned at the feeling of Billy’s hot seed shooting into his ass, and it felt fucking incredible. Steve thought that something so obscene had no right being so hot… 
Billy pressed his lips on Steve’s softly before he slowly pulled out and watched as his cum leaked out of Steve and onto the sheets. 
He was so glad Steve had made him turn on that light, because he never would’ve known how much he loved seeing the mess he made of Steve, how he’d ruined him for anyone else. He was ruined too, he knew it, because no one would ever look as pretty with his marks all over them. 
Billy laid down next to Steve, who wrapped his arms around Billy and pulled him close, cuddling against his chest. Billy ran his hand through Steve’s silky brown mane and kissed him on the top of his head. 
“How you feeling, princess?" 
Steve smiled contently and kissed Billy on the tip of his nose "Better than ever, tiger. You know you’re amazing, right?" 
"Oh I know” Billy chuckled smugly, but he felt that warm feeling that Steve gave him spreading in the pit of his stomach again, that feeling that took him way to long to realize was happiness. 
He brushed his lips softly against Steve’s, who was adorably close to falling asleep. “You’re amazing too, pretty boy”

Road to All Things
Read New Chapter 5 Here
Excerpt from Ch. 3:
31 December 1999
In his peripheral vision Scully’s head was tilted back, elongating the silky column of her neck. One day he had hoped to sufficiently explore the skin there. Dick Clark, along with the rest of times square and most likely the entire time zone, let out a loud, Happy New Year! And just like that, it was the year 2000. Auld Lang Syne played on the TV speaker while streamers drifted and confetti fell like colorful snowflakes. The camera zoomed in on a couple kissing and Mulder darted his eyes to the left, Scully watched seemingly enraptured, with a small smile creeping at the corner of her mouth.
The moment had moved him and he wanted to share it with her. Would she stop him? He turned and slowly dipped his head, their eyes met and casually his lips joined hers. Lightly, gently, he explored the purse of her lips, a soft kiss to introduce the new year. A first kiss. It was nothing that he thought it would be. No fireworks, but no awkward noses brushing, their lips matching up perfectly. Sweetly. Maybe there were a few bottle rockets in his heart. Pulling away, he felt suddenly shy like he had exposed too much. She tilted her head and he couldn’t quite read her reaction, but as their kiss transformed into a smile it warmed his insides.
“The world didn’t end.”
“No, it didn’t.”
“Happy New Year, Scully.”
“Happy New Year, Mulder.”
He put his good arm around her as she leaned into him and they headed out the door into the night.
Mulder had never felt this selfish or this close to coming undone in all his life. That innocent kiss had ignited a flame that could have melted the sun. His meds had started to wear, the pain in his arm quite sharp. Scully had left his hospital room long enough for him to verify that the pain meds would not interfere with his brain meds. Fear trickled down his back when he thought that he had left his other prescriptions frivolously on the counter. Luckily, she headed for the bathroom when they arrived and he darted into the kitchen, ripping the label off and destroying it while hiding the bottle in the back of his highest shelf. She returned with his painkillers and her shirt buttoned down for him to see enough cleavage to need to nonchalantly adjust the bulge forming underneath his pants.  
“I can help you with your shirt,” Scully offered and he raised his brow for the sake of humor.
“Or you could sleep with it on,” she tossed back.
He squeezed his eyes shut as she lifted his shirt from his back. His arm ached as if it was cracking. “Does your head hurt?” she asked in response, her fingertips brushing his forehead near the hairline and he shook it slowly, wetting his lips, and swallowing hard. Everything tonight was taking on new meaning. He could feel every contact her body made with his. She shifted again to complete her inspection, her voice low and soft, “they did a good job. It should heal nicely.”
Scully opened the tube of salve to apply it to her own scrapes. “I’m not a doctor, but I think I could handle that if you let me,” Mulder offered.
The space between them seemed infinitely smaller than usual. Scully sat down on the couch next to him and he couldn’t even breathe properly. Carefully he applied the cloudy soft gel to her tender satin skin. For too many minutes he considered touching the soft strands of her rose colored hair. Watching as her shoulders rose and fell; he closed his eyes and took in her vanilla scent. It allowed his mind to drift to that moment she hugged him so tight, elated that he agreed to be her baby’s bio dad. With his eyes remaining closed he also felt slightly dizzy and a heaviness in the forehead region. Shit. His meds were taking over.
When his eyes opened he could see his happiness mirrored on her face. It made his whole body lighter, or maybe that was the meds, but it gathered enough in him to say, “Next year at this time, there could be a little you and me running around.”
Her blue diamonds glistened in light of his statement. “Could be.” Her voice cracked on the words, and Mulder felt something tighten at the base of his throat. That was when he noticed her fingers trembling, like she was terror-stricken. He reached out and wrapped her hand around his. Scully froze, her expression carefully blank.
His stomach did a slow roll as he looked down at her. “What’s the matter?”
She frowned. “Nothing.”
“Yes it is. You’re shaking.”
She held his gaze and squeezed his hand. Her lashes wet with fear, her lips close enough to almost brush against. “It’s such a long shot, Mulder.”
“But I believe in you, Scully. There’s always room for a miracle and that’s why we can’t give up.” There was a duality in his words, but she would only understand the singular meaning. Her eyes turned molten, and her gaze dropped to lick him up and down. He could see it in her eyes what was coming, he didn’t know if it was the pain meds, his brain meds, or the injuries, but he didn’t have the strength to stop her. The hot lightning he felt the first time their lips touched returned as she pressed hers to his again.
Pure white heat sharply burned in all the right places. His jaw matched hers as it flexed and pushed harder against her mouth, his tongue needily slipping inside as his hand cupped her face, bringing his legs underneath him to face her. Their kisses deepened, slick and hungry, Scully’s gravity pulling him up on his knees to get closer, to have more of her. They rose, never breaking their kiss, any pain in his arm quickly slipped away with the mix of dopamine, adrenaline, and lust. There was no question that his heart was beating quicker than logic considering they hadn’t left the couch. Then his body twitched and his eyes snapped open.
Scully pulled back. “Mulder, are you all right? Why are you breathing so… hard?” Her words fell away as her eyes dropped to his waist. He lowered his own sightline to see the head of his cock peeking out the top of his waistband.
When Mulder’s gaze landed on Scully, his features twisted into a grimace. “Scully.. I.. I’m sorry… I didn’t mean… that’s not what I want..”  
Instinctively she ran her fingers through the hair at his temple, tracing her way to the back of his head. She twisted her wrist a bit and started to kneed his neck. Mulder released a low groan, his body tensing against her own. His panting breaths tickled the exposed part of her chest. It wasn’t soothing like her intention, instead it made her needy, warmth spreading deep in her belly. Their feelings had deepened and nuanced since her bout with cancer, and everything that occurred these past few months, and now, sitting here with him, felt like the eye of a tornado.
Images flashed behind her eyes of his barely contained velvet monster, but instead of it tucked in his pants, it was deep inside her, blazing a trail of sparks and light. Her, being so full from him, everywhere, friction reaching her core, growing wetter around him as he stretched her to madness.  Scully rubbed at the tense spots on his neck, increasing her force with each thought, their breaths coming fast and dire. Years of suppressed fantasies rushing in, aching her center. Mulder’s body stiffened once more against her. She could hear his breath catch. “Scully..”
Her fingers played through his hair, then stroked gently down to the nape of his neck. He moaned like he couldn’t hold it in any longer. Mulder’s hand reached up to fold around hers drawing both their hands to his chest. She could feel his heart pounding.
He leaned in and repeated, “Scully…” For a moment, he suspended his breath against her ear, the scruff of his face against her cheek. Then it was her turn to shudder, her legs shifting against his, as he rasped out, “Please, stop.”
“Mulder, what is it?” She could feel her throat tight and her lids heavy.
His forehead touched her own and he moaned, “It’s too good.”
Scully’s sightline lowered and Mulder drew his rigid slender frame away from her, exposing the outline of the long thick rod straining against his pants. The shaft, so big it was bent towards the left in its confinement. Mulder reached down melding his hand around it, trying to shield it from her sight. Her gaze swept up towards his face, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the dark bared tip trapped between his waistband and his chiseled belly. Dear God, it was big. Desire coursed through her, clenching the center region of her hips. She blinked up at him.
Mulder’s unslung hand was now spread over his abs, only partly able to hide his sex from her eyes. It was so long and thick, even his huge hand couldn’t shield all of it.
He shook his head, his face a ripe tomato red. His jaw tightened as he shook  again and closed his eyes. “Scully, you should go,” he said, his voice breathless.
Scully’s heart was hammering as if it might give out. It was surreal, being in this moment, with Mulder, on his couch. Her hand came up to touch his rough cheek. “I don’t want you to be embarrassed. And going home is not what I want to do right now.” Scully could hardly breathe as she spoke those words, her cheeks burning white hot, almost in tears, the words exposing so much of her desires it sent shockwaves through her.
Time froze around them as his breath grew faster, heavier. Mulder’s jaw tightened and his features tensed. He leaned in close enough for his chest to brush hers. “Then, I want you to touch me, Scully.”
His hand fell away, but Scully was too fear stricken to not leave his eyes. With their lips barely a breath apart, her hands blindly fumbled with the top button of his pants and carefully drew down his zipper. Mulder moaned and closed his eyes, his mouth parting and eyelids falling heavy, fluttering against her cheek; his sling leaning into her abdomen as Scully reached inside and ran her fingertips around his cock. It felt painfully engorged as her hand danced along the thick curves, up and down from tip to base, long solid strokes, not leaving his eyes, her pulse now between her legs, pounding harder than it ever had before. Scully whimpered, feeling his pleasure in her own core, the noise slipping accidentally from her lips. Her fingers twisted over the tip, tugging upwards and Mulder pulled his pants and boxers farther down, until they gathered against the couch cushion at his knees.
Scully couldn’t look away. Her own knees trembled. She slowed her pace, squeezing the crown. Mulder gasped and moaned, his eyes focused on hers. She paused and he exhaled, she could feel him swelling at her grip. “Scully, we should stop. Knowing you would want to is enough.”
Her eyes fell, Scully needed to give herself a minute to take heed to his words, but was met with his cock, pointing proudly up at her. It was so.. thick and... long. So perfect. Heat zinged through her at a fever pitch. So high she broke out in a sweat. “But it’s not enough for me .”
The look on his face almost made her die from desire. “No?”
“No,” she answered him in a thick low whisper, kissing him gently.
Scully’s hand glided down towards the base and then back up as they kissed, spreading her fingers, rubbing over him with the shaft between her thumb and forefinger until she reached the tip again, tracing the rim. His hips jerked forward and he moaned.
They deepened their kiss in desperation, his good hand stroking gently up and down her arm as she continued pumping his stiff marble length. This time when she reached the base she held it with one hand and used the other to lightly caress and tug the swollen sac below. It drew up with her light touch, turning the area between her own legs into a yawning ache. The reaction made two of her fingers reach beneath to tickle the area behind it.
“Oh shiiit,” Mulder cried out in a raspy breath, squeezing her arm hard enough to leave a bruise. He pulled her into him in a hug, his body an oven against her.
“Is this really happening?” he breathed into her neck.
“Yes,” Scully confirmed in a whimper.
“I’m not hallucinating from the medication?”
“You’re not,” she confirmed, giving him small kisses along his cheek and then she whispered in his ear, “Tell me how you like it.”
The request pulsed through him and he throbbed harder against her palm. This was Scully and the reality of that was turning him on more than anything. He swallowed down the scream of joy caught in his throat and choked out, “harder..”; she firmed up her grip. The pleasure tightened his groin, ran up his spine, and lit up the tip of his skull like a solar flare. It had never felt this good and it was only her hand. “Jesus, Scully.” Need inside him grew and he grunted, “ Faster,” The sensations swelled and built.  “Scully, that feels so good.” He was gulping breaths when he begged her “faster,” still, gripping at her hair with his good hand, the heat of her body on his, the sound of her whimpers reaching his ears, the smell of her hair, skin, arousal. He continued his chants of “Scully,” “Oh God , Scuuhlly ,” and held on for dear life,  caught on this roller coaster, hugging her tighter.
She stroked so quick and so hard she was afraid she was hurting him, his cock feeling like steel coated in satin. The passionate pull of his hand in her hair, the quick pain, made her want to spear herself on him. The throbbing inside her was steady now, an almost unbearable pleasure.  Her hands began to shake, the sensations inside her building, her movements matching the tenacity.
Mulder groaned. “If- Scully, if..” Her hand stilled, but his hips rocked into her, urging her to move again. His hand pressed her lower back, drawing her ever closer, “If you don’t stop Scully, if you don’t stop soon.. I’m-going -to-come.”
The warning left her undeterred, instead she felt eager, frenzied, with an overwhelming urge to watch him come undone. She pulled away enough to look into his eyes as she ran her hand up and down his enlarged cock, teasing, languid, gripping the tip, rubbing her thumb over the tiny slit, with her other hand cupping his balls.
“Scully, please, I’m gonna come,” he warned again.
She loved this. She loved having this much control over his pleasure, giving him this much feeling. His life had been so much heartache she needed to add to the happiness. Mulder’s fingers were trembling over her neck, his thumb at her jaw line, dragging air into his lungs, and groaning outward. Scully rubbed her palm around, over the wetness now covering his tip, picking up speed. He clutched her neck. “Scully, I’m really close.”
Again she quickened her stroke, somehow impossibly she felt him swell further. Mulder started to writhe and claw at her back. She closed one hand around his sac and pumped the other up his length. When her closed fist brushed the notch at the rim of his glistening crown, he jerked. “Scully, I’m coming, oh God I’m coming, fuck, Scully, it’s so much.”
Scully’s head spun as she felt his sac harden against her palm and watched his thick cream spurting between her fingers, dripping down his taut swollen cock.
Mulder panted, his face slackened, he tilted his head back and unable to resist, she pressed her tongue to the throbbing tendon and sucked at the pulse thrumming inside his throat.
In his eyes she saw his desires melt away, but between her own legs, a heaviness built. Mulder reached for the hand towel on the coffee table, running it over his soaked length. The sight of him touching himself, feeling the aftershocks of the orgasm she gave him, made Scully throb. Tightly her thighs pressed together.
“You okay?”  he asked as he finished. His eyes were dilated and he looked like the meds were getting the best of him, like he might drift off at any moment.
She laughed out of pure self consciousness, “Yeah. You okay?”
“Yeah, I mean, I’m really really okay,” he said shyly.
She paused for a moment. “Would you mind if I used the bathroom?”
Mulder gave her a peculiar look. “Yeah, let me just run in real quick.”
What was less than a minute felt like eternity. He came out refreshed, wearing simple pajama bottoms. Scully raced in, the throbbing failing to cease, her body begging relief. Quickly she closed and locked the bathroom door, gripping the white porcelain of the sink while her quaking fingers slipped down beneath her underwear, over her scarce coarse auburn curls.
The urge bubbled beyond control. She glided her fingers over her sex, slick and swollen like she had never been before. When her finger nudged between the slit between her lips she had to bite her cheek to keep from moaning and Mulder from hearing.  
The entire time she pictured Mulder, sliding in and out of her with his huge cock and his tormented eyes. Scully worked her fingers in circles, harder and faster, her pants so loud they echoed against the tile. She was surprised at how wet she was as she pushed her fingertip inside. She cried out and fear shot threw her that Mulder might hear, but she couldn’t stop.
The throbbing increased and her whole body ached with the need to feel him. In her fantasy he was lying flat on his back, his large and long erection jutting up. She would grab it as she straddled him and push the thick tip into her swollen flesh, filling her completely to the point of sinful madness. His taut jaw, parted lips, soulful eyes. The smile that filled her heart, his rough cheek brushing hers, whispering his desires into her ear.
Scully’s fingers blanched as she squeezed tighter against the cold sink, trying her best to silence her moans as she came, then quickly dipping her hand into the stream of water beneath the faucet to wash away the evidence.
When she returned to the living room, Mulder had been overcome by sleep, breathing heavily, but peacefully. She helped him lay down on his pillow, and he followed her goading without waking. She covered him with the throw and left him a glass of water, kissing his forehead before deciding to return to her apartment.

In All Things 15/?
Tumblr media
Mr. Gold/BelleFrench, Explicit (eventually)
Summary: A Rumbelle arranged marriage AU.
Chapter Summary: Gold comes to Belle’s rescue after a confrontation with Maurice.
Notes: FUCKING FINALLY. I’m so sorry this update has taken so long. The holidays and the start of the new year really messed up everything and made the muse go dormant for a time. There is a bit of non-linear story telling in this chapter. ALSO, tags on this fic have been updated for some upcoming trope laden goodness. ;) This was supposed to be for the 31 Days prompt #22: Warmth.
[AO3]
Previous: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
Gold knelt down and set two more logs on the fire in Belle’s room, waiting until the flames caught them before pushing to his feet.
He turned around, his expression pained as he looked at Belle. She was sitting on the sofa in front of the hearth with his coat draped around her, her body trembling head to toe as she shivered. He could hear her teeth clacking together behind her tightly set mouth, even over the snap and crackle of the fire, and his hands flexed at his sides. Her shoulders shuddered and her fingers curled over the edges of the coat, trying to draw it closer around her.
“Here,” he said finally, moving to the bed where a heavy knit blanket was folded over the end. “Let’s try this instead of that wet thing.”
He carried the blanket over to the sofa and draped it over the arm before reaching for his coat. She didn’t react at first, her gaze fixed straight ahead, as he started to remove the damp, embroidered fabric down her arms, but after a few seconds she shifted to the side and turned to let him pull the coat away. A moment later, he laid the blanket over her, wrapping it over her shoulders and folding it over her lap with her arms beneath.
“There. Is that better?”
She nodded numbly, but didn’t look at him.
Gold sighed and looked around the room, desperate for something that would tell him what to do. When he had found Belle in the snow, tears frozen to her face and her clothes nearly soaked through, his only concern had been to get her inside where she could warm up. The wind had picked up late in the morning, tossing around the powdery snow and biting at the skin. It was so bad by mid afternoon, that the estate had called all the guards inside, yet Belle had run out into it with no cloak, no gloves, no protection but her favorite blue dress.
She could be near hypothermia, he thought, and frostbitten besides. He’d seen it before, almost experienced it himself a time or two in the particularly harsh winters of the Frontlands, back before his ascension to the nobility. At least she was still feeling the cold, and shivering, that was better than not feeling it at all, or worse yet, passing the point of no return and feeling overheated instead. He’d seen soldiers at that stage tear off their armor and leathers and throw themselves into the snow to try to cool off, not understanding that they already were.
“Can I - can I call for the maid?” he offered. She didn’t respond, he frowned as he eased himself down beside her. “Belle?”
His touch on her shoulder startled her, and he drew back abruptly. “Please, sweetheart, I should ring for the maid, or - or ask your father to call his physician.”
“N-no,” Belle replied quietly. “No, please don’t.”
She shifted slightly and leaned towards him until she was resting against his shoulder. He held himself still, feeling the lingering trembles in her body, and raised his arm hesitantly. As soon as he settled it on the back of the sofa, she came nearer, drawn in by his warmth, and pressed herself into him. After a minute or two, the shivering began to subside, and his fingers curled into a fist over the carved wood as he fought the urge to hold her close.
Her fingers were curled against him, holding his shirt lightly as though she couldn’t bear to be apart from him, but he was sure it was just the lingering trauma of whatever had upset her. Even so, it was good to feel wanted, if for nothing more than body heat and the presence of another person. He was quite certain if they were at Thornhill, she would vastly prefer the company of Astrid to him.
They sat quietly for a time, until Gold felt the dampness seeping through the blanket and into his shirt from her wet clothes. She might not be shivering anymore, but she was hardly well, and there was still a great chance she would come down with something and be abed for days if she didn’t get warm.
“Your dress,” he said easing her upright, “is still wet. They won’t dry fast enough, you need a change of clothes.”
“Oh.”
Belle’s voice seemed fogged with confusion, though whether it was from the cold or from whatever had upset her, he wasn’t sure. She pulled at the blanket until it fell around her, baring her arms and making her shiver anew as she began to tug at the laces of her bodice.
“Please, let me get someone to help you,” he said again.
She frowned at her hands as she plucked at the strings, her chilled fingers unable to work properly. “Help me.”
He blinked. “What?”
She sighed heavily with one lacing half pulled through the eyelet of her dress. “Don’t want the maid. Just - just help me with this.”
Gold swallowed, watching dumbly as she fought with her clothes for a long moment before finally reaching for her.
“Here,” he said softly, “stand up.”
Belle let him draw her to her feet, her hands holding on to his forearms as she wobbled on her shoes, one of which seemed to be broken at the heel. The sofa behind her was darkened and wet where she’d been sitting, and she frowned at it as they turned together. The fire was blazing hotter than usual, a searing heat on her side, and she shivered again.
Gold tugged gently on the line of lacing at the front of her dress, loosening the top enough for her to push it down over her front. Beneath it, her thin blouse was damp and cold, plastered to her corset and revealing the lines of the boning that curved against her waist. He kept his eyes on his hands, working at the tie at her hip to release the skirt, and then pulled away as it fell to the floor.
Her legs trembled in their stockings, and he turned, averting his eyes and busying himself with covering the wet fabric of the sofa with the folded blanket.
“Is - is there another?” he asked, glancing briefly at Belle’s face when she answered and pointed at the trunk beside the armoire across the room.
Grateful to have something to take him away from the sight of Belle in her underthings, he rummaged in the trunk, moving aside an extra pillow and a set of linen sheets before he found a thick, woolen blanket in a mix of gray and blue stripes. He pulled it out and turned, letting his gaze settle on Belle’s form standing in front of the fire, stockings sagging over her knees and her shift hanging loose over her small clothes. It barely covered her to mid thigh, leaving a gap of pale skin that drew his eyes down to where the hem fell over the curve of her backside. The fire illuminated the fabric, making the silhouette of her body show through the thin material.
He shook himself and unfolded the blanket as he crossed the space, coming up behind to lay it over her shoulders. She reached up as he did so, covering his hands with hers for a moment as she grabbed hold of the fabric and pulled it tight around her. He nearly shivered himself at the brief touch of her chilled palms, and realized for the first time that his own clothes were in no fit state either. His trousers were still damp from the knee down from kneeling in the snow as he’d helped her up, and there was a smear of mud on his shirt sleeve. Along with all that, he could catalog a number of aches and pains that were beginning to make themselves known.
Belle sighed, her eyes closing as she turned her back to the fire to warm her other side. “Thank you.”
Gold shook his head. “It’s no matter.”
He wanted to ask what had driven her out into the snow covered garden, and why she had been weeping on the ground at her mother’s grave, saying something about being cursed, but he felt as thought it was too raw for her yet. The last thing he wanted to do was upset her again.
“Do you think a hot bath would help?”
She exhaled again and nodded, and he moved to the door to call for the maid. A few minutes later, two young women came in and began filling the tub in the bathing room with steaming water, and producing fluffy white towels from a cupboard in the corner.
Gold eased his way towards the door, his heavy, damp coat laying over his arm, when Belle suddenly looked up, seemingly just realizing he was leaving, and came towards him.
“Will you stay?”
He froze with his lips parted, staring at her, and shook his head. “I - I shouldn’t.” Her face fell and he quickly added, “My clothes are wet as well. I need to change.”
Her lips curved slightly and she shook her head, tossing a few wet curls around her face. “Of course. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be.” Then he swallowed and said, “I - I could back if you like. After -?”
She nodded and her smile widened. “I’d like that. I - I feel as though I need to explain my behavior.”
“You needn't bother -”
“I want to,” she said more firmly. “Please?”
He gave her a brief nod, and she reached out to take his free hand, giving it a grateful squeeze. On a whim, he lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it before letting it fall. Her lips twitched, and he inclined his head once more before opening the bedroom door and slipping into the corridor.
Belle sighed and sat back against the curve of the tub.
She waved her hands back and forth through the water slowly, feeling the heat against her palms. The temperature was hotter than she usually preferred, but given her earlier chill it seemed warranted. Now, however, she felt quite thoroughly thawed and perhaps even too warm as a light sheen of perspiration tickled her forehead. She wiped at it with a washcloth and then sat forward, pulling her knees up to her chest to rest her chin on them as she gazed into the fire.
When she’d first stepped outside, the chilled air had been a shock to her system, making her lungs burn with it, but once grief and despair had overtaken her reason, she hadn’t felt anything at all. Even the snow under palms was nothing more than a brief sharpness as she pressed her fingers down into it, scooping up handfuls and flinging them at the base of the gravestone.
What would her mother have said at such foolishness? Or worse, at the financial state of her beloved home?
Belle had gone to see her father in the early afternoon, and found him alone in his study, frowning at the very ledgers she’d spied the night before. He quickly shut them upon seeing her, and did his best to steer her away from the desk and its many papers, but she was having none of it.
“Papa,” she said, “why won’t you tell me what’s wrong?”
Maurice rolled his eyes and guided her towards the sofa by the fireplace with hand at her back, but she turned and slipped away from him. “We have been over this, my girl, nothing is wrong.”
“Then why is the estate in nearly same debt as it was two months ago?”
Her eyes met his, her gaze hard and unwavering as he tried to stammer out an explanation.
“It - it isn’t,” he managed, moving to the desk to slide the books away from her grasp. “Everything is fine.”
“It’s not,” she insisted. “I’ve seen them for myself, and -”
“You were in my study?” He looked at her aghast, plainly surprised that she would go to such lengths. “You were snooping through my things?”
His indignation was misplaced, and she scoffed. “I wouldn’t need to snoop if you were honest with me!”
“Belle, the finances of an estate are complicated, you wouldn’t understand the methods that -”
Her hand came down hard on the top of the desk, and Maurice jumped.
“I understand debits and credits perfectly well, father, though I have started to wonder if you can say the same. I want to know why. What was the point of any of it? Of marrying me off to save our home if it was going to be lost anyway?”
“It wasn’t for nothing,” Maurice insisted. “You did your duty to your family, and helped save your mother’s legacy. Wasn’t that what you wanted?”
Tears welled up in her eyes as her hands curled into fists. None of it had been what she wanted. What she wanted she couldn’t have. “How can you say that when Avonlea is in the same state as it was when I married Cameron?”
“Cameron?” came a snide voice from the doorway.
Milton swaned into the room, his mouth spread into a twisted, smirking smile. “Listen to her, my Lord, she’s calling him by his first name already.”
Belle’s eyes narrowed as she spun on her heel to face the steward. “I can call my husband whatever I like, not that it is any of your business.”
“It isn’t,” he agreed, “but it is interesting that you’re already on such intimate terms with a Lord the rest of the kingdom despises. You’ve ingratiated yourself quite readily it seems.”
Belle took a shaky breath as she felt her fury mix with a disgusted, unsettling feeling in her belly. She opened her mouth to speak, but, surprisingly, Maurice stepped in front of her.
“What are you implying about my daughter, Milton?”
Milton’s head tilted as he smiled. “Only that we could have gotten three times the amount we did out of Gold if only we’d known what a willing wife she would make.”
“Steward, you forget yourself.” Belle pushed her shocked father aside and fisted her hands in her skirt, her nails digging into her palms through the satin and lace. “I am still a Lady, I have done nothing to disgrace myself or my family.”
“Is that so?” he asked, his eyes shifting back and forth between Maurice and Belle. “Then what of your previous engagement to Sir Gaston? Why agree to marry one man, only to discard him, and marry another so soon after?”
Her face flushed and she turned her head to look see her father’s mouth hanging open, his eyes wide with fear. Had he told Milton of the terrible truth behind her broken engagement?
Maurice met her gaze and swallowed. “Belle, I swear I didn’t mean to. I -”
She felt the floor drop from beneath her feet, and the room shifted around her as though she was tumbling backwards. Her eyes squeezed shut and she heard the rush of blood in her ears, her heart thudding against her ribs as a sharp pain bloomed in the center of her chest. It had all been for naught, all her sacrifices, all her troubles. Her mother’s home would be lost forever, and worse yet she would be disgraced in the eyes of all her friends, and of the royal court.
Perhaps even Gold as well.
There was nothing to keep Milton from spreading his rumors and lies far and wide, if he hadn’t already. She pitched forward as a hollow, sick feeling pulled at her stomach, and she pressed a hand to her mouth, trying to breath through her nose as she bolted from the room.
Maurice made an attempt to follow her, but stopped after she shoved open the double doors leading out to the garden. She stumbled out onto the stone patio, wincing as the cold wind stung her cheeks. Ducking her head, she made her way through the hedgerow and the lines of empty planter boxes to the far corner of the park where a wrought iron gate cordoned off a section of the lot. The gate squeaked loudly as it swung open, the hinges in dire need of grease and showing fresh spots of rust. Beyond it the grass poked through the top of the snow, left long from lack of care and maintenance. Had she the presence of mind to notice the disrepair allowed of such a sacred place, it would have fueled her anguish even more.
She dropped to her knees in the snow as sobs wracked her body, causing her shoulders to heave with the strength of them. Her vision blurred as she looked up at a squared stone in polished black granite, a single name carved into its face.
Collette.
“Oh, Mother,” she cried, her hands pressing into the ground and soaking her shirtsleeves. “I’m so sorry. I tried. I tried so hard!”
Her dress was already wet through to her petticoat and stockings from the snow, and the toes of her shoes sunk into the grass and mud beneath. Around her the wind blew, the direction changing from minute to minute, swirling and rattling the tree branches, and sending waves of displaced snow down on top of her. She felt none of it, only the ache in her chest at the thought of losing Avonlea, and the heaviness of grief long held behind stubborn forbearance.
“I know it’s my fault.” She sniffed loudly and wetly, coughing at the tightness in her throat. “It’s my - my curse, I know it. All of it - it - it’s me, it’s me!”
She scratched at the earth, digging up a handful of snow and throwing it feebly at the base of the granite stone as she cried.
