Day 11: Simple Phrases
I have decided to read the lesson aloud so you can hear how the words are said as I do not know IPA and trying to spell the words out phonetically was not working. If you would prefer I used to format of "[Irish], [English], [Irish but slower]" for the words/phrases, just say so.

Written version below the cut
A short prologue: First of all, I am not a fluent speaker. Although I am not that bad at gaeilge, I am in no way, shape, or form a gaeilgeoir. This is all fairly basic information, but I am not completely immune from making mistakes.Â
Second of all: Irish has three main dialects, Ulster, Munster, and Connacht. I was taught through the school system by people from all over the country, and my dialect is somewhat like patchwork. If you, or anyone else, pronounce words slightly differently than I do, it's probably because weâre speaking different dialects, and that's fine.Â
Third of all: while Irish uses the latin alphabet, it is unfair to assume it obeys by the same phonics as English. The most glaring examples of this are fadĂĄ, or these things ĂĄĂ©ĂĂłĂș. FadĂĄ [lit. long] lengthen vowel sounds turning ah (a) to aw (ĂĄ) and so on so forth. Also, if a consonant is followed by a h, then one exhales a little harder when saying the consonant, therefore softening it. The most obvious appearance of this is âbhâ which makes a âvâ sound. Or a âwâ sound because most consonants make two different sounds depending on the vowels around it, which we shall not get into today.Â
The first thing you need to know in any language is how to say hello. In Irish, the most common greeting is âDia duitâ, which is literally âGod be with youâ. However, if someone greets you with dia duit, the way you respond is âDia is Muire duitâ [lit. God and Mary be with you], and as the third person greeting you reply with âDia is Muire is Padraig duitâ or you can replace Padraig with any saint of your choosing. However if you are talking to a group larger than that you can use âDia diaobhâ.Â
Some more informal greetings include âHaighâ which means hi, or âAon sceal?â which means âany storiesâ and is basically what's up. You can also skip straight to asking how someone is.
âConas atĂĄ tĂș?â is âhow are youâ, to which you can answer âTĂĄim go maith,â or âTĂĄim ceart go leorâ which are âIâm wellâ and "I'm alrightâ respectively. You can reflect any question asked of you with a good âAnd you?â which is âAgus tusa?â
If you are asked your name with âCad is ainm duit?â you can respond with â____ is ainm domâ for âmy name is____â. If you are taking the initiative to introduce yourself without being asked, you can also use âIs mise ____â which is âI am ____â.Â
The basis of saying goodbye is the word âSlĂĄnâ, which is derived from slĂĄinte (health), so it is wishing someone good health. However, most people either say âSlĂĄn leatâ or âslĂĄn go fĂłilâ which are âheath be with you,â and âgoodbye for nowâ. Which variation you use is completely up to you.Â
You probably already know that Ăire is Ireland and gaeilge is the Irish language. So a Gaeilgeoir is someone who is fluent in Irish, a gaeltach is an area where people speak Irish in day to day life, and a gaelscoil is a school where everything is taught through Irish. It is also handy to know the word for English: bearla. So âAs gaeilgeâ and âAs bearlaâ are âin Irish'' and âin Englishâ respectively.Â
You will always need a few bits and bobs words when youâre starting out. âAgusâ is âandâ, ânĂłâ is âorâ, and âachâ is âbutâ. You can do a lot in this world with three good conjunctions. Please is âle do thoilâ, and thank you is âgo raibh maith agatâ. You will see âFĂĄilteâ in a lot of tourist destinations, as it means "welcomeâ. And âSlainte!â is âcheers,â which we saw above also means health.Â
Finally, while you may be happy to tell people âTĂĄ cupla focal agamâ meaning âI have a few words (of Irish)â, there is no shame in saying âNĂ thuigimâ or âI donât understandâ, or asking them to repeat âas bearla, le do thoilâ. Learning new skills is admirable and most people understand that.Â
I want to also do a seanfhocail a day, for fancy points. Seanfhocail are idiomatic phrases, and literally means âold wordsâ. Todayâs seanfhocail is the classic: âNĂl aon tinteĂĄn mar do thinteĂĄn fĂ©inâ which is âThereâs not hearth like your own hearthâ or âThere's no place like home.â
See you tomorrow for everyoneâs favourite: mutations (urĂș agus sĂ©imhiĂș)! SlĂĄn libh!

Trying? Trying??? By learning. By succeeding!
(about this and my text under the cut)
this is very nice actually thank you so much <3 <3 and like, i probably do need to give myself more credit in general but also i am still very much learning and stumbling and figuring digital art out (and for the most part it is so fun)
Iâm gonna ramble about this a bit so bear with me and also i apologize lol, but that art was done after a month of getting increasingly more frustrated with everything turning out so badly and eventually realizing that I was trying to 1. copy a certain look/style that iâve internalized is what fanart and digital art should look like and is very far away from my style/comfort zone 2. i was trying to do everything digital allows without being comfortable with it or understanding it
so (and this took me a month to realize ? ??) i did what i already knew from doing acrylic and oil painting in the past and could somewhat easily transfer to digital without having to know more than the basics, like i didnât use a lot of the things digital provides or allows for. i used layers for my own peace of mind but without actually needing them and did some color adjusting (honestly, the color adjusting digital lets you do is such a blessing to me) but the only fancy way i really utilized the medium was making it a gif (which is so fun and a lot easier than i would have thought, like honestly watch me make any future art into gifs too) but there are so many things you can do with the medium with settings/effects, different brushes, tools to use in the process etc that i just do not understand what they are or how to implement them so i am very slowly learning digital art as a whole new medium rather than just being able to use it to adapt what i already know
#sorry you just wanted to say a quick thing and i went on a whole rant (welcome to my blog tbh)#like i'll watch tutorials and they'll be like 'and i just did an overlay and then a multiply layer in a good color (:' and im like ??? wdym#'a good color' what color is a good color? like i can put those effects on my work but that's just me clicking a button without knowing wha#will happen really and like i watch speed paints and see them do stuff and im just ? HUH? what was that and why?#i also do not understand a lot of these concepts with traditional art tbh like people will talk about under paintings and im like yeah sure#i hear you however i also do not- i just place a color where it should be and that's that which i know is why my colors often don't feel#cohesive which is also something i need to learn which is blah- im basically just saying i actually do not know any theory or technique#even with traditional it is all just vibes and hoping for the best which in the long run just makes me very confused about what i am#actually doing and not confident at all i'll be able to do it again so u know#we're out here literally just raw dogging art without any thought#but it's also just i do not need to do all those fancy things but i would like to understand them and i am excited to see my progress now#i just really had a shitty month of making ugly things up until now okay so i was a little fragile when i posted that#but people have been so so nice about it and ive been crying for two days straight#also people have been so lovely about the colors and colors are deadass the hardest part about digital like with paint you often buy a set#that already match and then mix them if needed and they'll look nice together but with digital you're just on your own- no training wheels#ask#anon

ᥣđ© I LAUGH LIKE ME AGAIN (SHE LAUGHS LIKE YOU)
FEATURING: dazai osamu
SUMMARY: four years apart and the ultimate question is about to be answered: do you and dazai really still know each other, or are you clinging to a fantasy of the past? you decide to put it to the test with a game of wits and questions when dazai gets back to your apartmentâbut as the game drags on, dazai starts to wonder if maybe he was wrong. worse, if maybe he would prefer to be wrong.
(wordcount: 14.5k; Ćsfw; fem!reader; port mafia executive!reader, jealous!dazai, possessive!dazai, smoking & drinking, unprotected sex, switch!dazai, switch!reader, undertones of angst (happy ending). lmk if anything is missing, im rushing to get this out!)
AUTHOR'S NOTES: guys here it IS - sorry it's late, but TRUST it's worth it. i'm so proud of this fic, genuinely one of the things im most proud of writing. this is technically a part 2 to he's my collar but can be read as a standalone
It takes far too long for Dazai to make it out of the Port Mafia headquarters, with both Akutagawa and Chuuya prowling about like the dogs they are. He wonders if you tipped either of them offâChuuya, in particularâbecause the slug had been looking around like he was searching for someone. He thinks youâre entirely wretched for it, knowing that if he got caught, heâd be trapped in that damp and filthy torture chamber until he managed to finagle his way out, and he plans to make it known to you just how entirely displeased he is by the situation.Â
The path to your apartment is achingly familiar, and the giddiness in his chest is something he hasnât felt since the day he left. He knows that he should probably be more carefulâheâs still in Port Mafia territory, your apartment spans the top floor of the easternmost building of the five towersâbut he also knows that youâre the only one with direct access to the cameras in this building so heâs more reckless than he wouldâve otherwise been.Â
The floors tick up agonizingly slowly, Dazai swears that there must be something wrong with the elevator because itâs never taken this long before to get up to your place. His fingers thrum against his thigh, and his foot taps the ground impatiently. He paces from corner to corner within the small space like a caged animal. He thinks that maybe he should be taking advantage of the time alone, come up with some better excuses as to why he didnât say anything to you before he left.
âI wouldnât have left,â isnât going to cut it. As true as it might be, itâs not the full truth, and Dazai knows youâll be able to sniff it out in a matter of a few seconds with a clear head. Heâs not walking into a cheerful reunion between old lovers, heâs walking into whatâs about to be a stressful game of chess against a strategist whom Dazai has always considered a near-equal, a battle of wits against a woman whose whole life has revolved around political warfare. If he wants to keep his dignity intact and his secrets safe, heâs going to have to be incredibly cautious with what he says to you and even with how he reacts to what you say to him.
Still, he canât help the giddiness. The excitement. Heâs missed you. Heâs missed you so much that it hurts. Heâd thought that over time, the longing for you would go away, but it never did. If anything, it got worse because, over time, the pictures of you started to lack the soothing feeling they used to bring to the aching in his chest. Over time, he started to forget the sound of your voice and the sound of your laugh.
Heâd known that youâd been sent away on foreign business not long after his last call to you, but he didnât think Mori would actually keep you abroad for three whole years. Heâd been hoping, maybe, that he could stumble into you one day. Or maybe just watch from afar, get close enough to hear the sound of your voice again. Heâs been grossly denied of you for too long, and he knows that itâs of his own doing but that only makes it worse.
When the elevator dings, announcing his arrival on your floor, Dazai is sorely unprepared for the conversation about to take place. He steps into your penthouse, eyes drifting around the familiar vast space.
Like your office, not much has changed since the last time he was here. Your coffee table is still set down a few centimeters too close to the couch in the living roomâthe same couch he had his first kiss on with you when the two of you were sixteen and drunk on champagne celebrating a successful mission. You still hang your black jacket over a chair instead of properly on a hanger, itâs why it always has a crease on the backâheâd noticed it when you left your office, and he canât help but smile slightly at the confirmation as his eyes linger on where itâs draped over one of your kitchen chairs.Â
You tried to convince him that youâve changed in the years the two of you have been apart, but Dazai doesnât think youâve changed much at all.
Youâre leaning against the windows, looking down on the cityâhe knows you mustâve heard the elevator, but you havenât bothered to look his way yet. Thereâs an indecipherable expression on your face and a glass of wine in your hand. Youâre still dressed in your suit and Dazai notices thereâs a glass of whiskey on the rocks untouched on the kitchen table. He shrugs off his trench coat and drapes it over yours, hoping that the scent of you seeps into it because heâs gone too long without it.
His fingers curl around the glass of whiskey youâd left out for him, and for a moment, he swears that heâs eighteen again. Heâs making his way to your penthouse after a long mission with Chuuya, youâre expecting himâyou always areâand he can never push away the fondness that squeezes his chest when he finds you lounging back on your couch, flipping through channels to find something to watch, a glass of his favorite whiskey set down on the coffee table next to where your feet are propped up as you wait for him to show up.
He wonders if you even care to remember what his favorite is. He wouldnât blame you if you didnât.
He makes his way out of the kitchen and back into the living room, and heâs reminded that heâs not eighteen and youâre not waiting for him to show up after a mission because you finally look at him, and his breath catches in his throat.
He thinks you look a bit older now than you did four years agoâto be expected, of courseâand thereâs a coldness to your eyes that hadnât been there before. Impossibly, he thinks that youâre somehow even more beautiful than you were when he last saw you, and he realizes again, throat tightening, that even after three years of no contact with you, heâs just as in love with you now as he was the day he left.
He knew it back then before he left, even if he never said it. When he was eighteen and could only feel any inkling of pleasure when he was with you; it wasnât like heâd never tried to have sex with other people, heâd whore himself out for information at any given chance and slept around frequently after you started dating a civilian to distract himself from the bitter jealousy he felt, but heâd never known how good it was supposed to feel until he slept with you for the first time. When he was seventeen and could only ever feel comfortable in your presence, seeking you out at any given chance when he couldnât handle being around people anymore; heâd curl up in your office with your orange blanket, napping as you did work, knowing that youâd keep people away from him. He thinks he mightâve even known when he was sixteen when the two of you first met on the streets of the Kanagawa prefecture.
He wonders if you even believed him when he said it earlierâhe doubts it, you donât seem too keen to believe anything he says, and he doesnât blame you for it.Â
But whether you believe it or not, itâs yoursâthat rotted heart of his, shriveled and shabby, riddled with holes and decay, half-eaten by maggots and worms it might be, but itâs still yours. He thinks that it was meant to be yours since the moment he was born, and itâll be yours even after the two of you are long dead. He doesnât know how heâs meant to go without you againâhe doesnât think he can. He knows that despite the tentative ceasefire, the Port Mafia and the Agency are still enemies, but he knows in his heart that he wonât be able to leave you again. Even just the sight of you has condemned him completely.Â
Then you speak, and at once, his entire world falls apart.
âIâm leaving again in the morning,â you finally say, tone flat and eyes sharp and shrewd as you look over him. He reminds himself that this is not a reunion, that he needs to get his head on straight if he wants to make it out of your apartment in one piece, but itâs hard. âI was only brought back to smooth things over with the government after the whole fiasco with Fitzgerald and his American cronies. Iâll be leaving for Russia in the morning to meet with Tolstoy and Nabakov. Hopefully, gain some intel on Fyodor Dostoevskyâs plans before the man makes another move on the city.â
He⊠did not anticipate that youâd be leaving again so soon. Something cold and sharp latches to his heart, like jagged nails ripping it apart. He makes sure it doesnât show on his face.
âBe careful,â he tells you quietly. âDostoevsky⊠heâs not someone to underestimate. Just-Just be careful.â
You raise your eyebrows, unimpressed, âIâve worked with Dostoevsky before. I donât need you to warn me about him.âÂ
Your voice is cool. Sharp. Dazai sighs, knowing that anything he mightâve said to you earlier in the night is lost to you, and he doesnât know if heâll have it in him to bare his heart again, only for you to scorn it. Heâs not meeting with you as he knows youâas his closest friend, as his lover; heâs meeting with you as the Port Mafia executive. Not the version of you that treats with allies, wining and dining them with glittering eyes and playful smiles as you use your ability to ensure they never turn on the Port Mafia; the version of you that sits at the round table with enemies, with a quick mind and calculating eyes as you decide whether or not theyâre worthy of being absorbed into the Port Mafia or if Double Black will be sent out to eradicate them.Â
âI told you everything I had to say back at the office,â Dazai tries, and he wonders if youâll let him get away with itâhe doubts it, but itâs worth a shot, and it will at least stall for a few moments as he tries to forcibly turn the cogs in his mind to figure out the best way of appeasing you. âI missed you. I⊠couldnât say goodbye to you, not if I was to leave. IâŠâ
I love you.
He doesnât say it; he thinks he was only able to push it out earlier in the night in the heat of the moment, the orgasm-induced haze fogging his brain enough to let it slip out in desperation to make you give him a chance. And it worked because you gave him a second chance when you invited him back to your apartment, but Dazai doesnât know how to make the most of the opportunity. He thinks heâs a fool for not preparing for this before getting here.
You click your tongue sharply, lip curling up in something close to disgust, and Dazai is glad he didnât speak his âI love youâ because he thinks he mightâve actually cried if that was your reaction to him saying it.
âThe only things you told me earlier in the night were half-truths and sweet talk. I didnât invite you back to my apartment to hear you beg for another chance, Dazai,â you say coolly, and Dazai desperately misses the sound of his given name on your tongue. The corner of your lip curves up into a half-smirk, eyes suddenly glittering beneath the dim lighting of your penthouse as you add, âAlthough, I wouldnât be opposed to it after we talk.â
He thinks the fact that youâre already considering an after might be a good sign. He can feel his cheeks flush a bit at your words, but instead of letting himself get rattled, he takes a step forward, well into your personal space, as he dips his face down so close to yours that his lips nearly brush yours as he speaks.
âIâd beg pretty for you,â he whispers, letting his voice drop an octave as his gaze tracks down to your lips. âIâd even get on my knees.â
Unfortunately, you are entirely unbothered by the proposition. âWeâll see, I suppose,â you say, and then raise your eyebrows, signaling for him to take a step back.
He does, and he feels distinctly put out and rejected by your reaction, but he sighs and asks, âWhat did you invite me here for then?âÂ
He very much does not like the way your eyes glitter nowâshrewd this time, more amused, dangerous, as if you know the two of you are about to tread down territory that heâs going to be unfamiliar with. You nod for him to follow you into the kitchen, taking a seat at the head of the table and motioning for him to sit opposite you.
He does.
âWe can play a game,â you finally concede. Dazai settles back against his chair, fingers still tapping rhythmically against his glass of whiskey, a terrible habit that Dazai has accrued whenever he feels cornered. Not a frequent occurrence, but damning when it is. Your eyes linger on them, and he knows youâve pinpointed the tell. He forces himself to stop, but from the way your lips curl up, he can tell it doesnât matter. âTen questions each. Yes or no answers only.â
Dazai notices that you pointedly leave out any rule about the honesty of each answerâintentional, surely, so he probes.
âHow do we determine the winner?â Dazai asks. He finally takes a sip of the fine whiskey youâd poured for him, and his question from earlier is answered. His favorite. Thereâs a warm feeling in his chest at the realization that youâve remembered it even after all of these years.
Your lips curve up into a sharper and wider smile, teeth glimmering like knives beneath the soft lighting of your kitchen. The glass of wine in your hands is suddenly more reminiscent of a gun being pointed at him than your choice of alcohol, and he feels as if heâs already made some egregious mistake in your eyes.
âAfter we give our answer, the other has to decide whether or not it was truthful. In the end, weâll both see how many the other got right. A test to see how well we still know each other,â is all you say in response. Youâre mocking him and his insistence that the two of you are still the same, but Dazai intends to prove himself right. You tilt your head to the side and then say, âThe prize is to be determined by the winner. Iâll ask the first question.â
Dazai winks, a lecherous comment already on his tongue about the prize, but the withering look you give him is more than enough to make it die before he can let it loose. He pointedly takes another sip of his drink and sinks in his seat.
He thinks that this should be an easy win. Youâre quite the adept liar, but youâve always had a glaring tell. Well, he amends, itâs glaring to him, at least. Not many others would be observant enough to catch it, and even if they were, only someone with an abundance of experience with you would be able to put it together. His gaze flickers up to meet yours, wondering if your lashes flutter right before you tell a lie. Itâs such a simple and subtle tell, so casual that it took Dazai a year and a half to put together, but it was hard to miss once he did.
You hum to yourself as you give off the appearance of thinking about a question, but Dazai knows you better than anyone, and heâs certain that you already have all ten prepared, so he rolls his eyes at the faux show of uncertainty.Â
âWe both know you know what you want to ask,â he finally says. âDo us both a favor and quit with the theatrics.â
Your lip quirks up in amusement. âAnd here I was being gracious giving you more time to formulate whatever lies youâll try to get away with,â you drawl, and Dazai nearly flinches.
âYou know me so well,â Dazai sighs to hide how disconcerted he really is. âThe question?â
You stare at him for a moment, and your lips curl up into a deceptively soft smile that almost throws Dazai off because, god, heâs missed you. And he knows youâre looking at him like this just for this specific reason because youâre a despicable bitch who knows that heâs always been easily unsettled when people show any semblance of affection toward him, but he canât help the way he falters.
He tries to brace himself for whatever invasive question youâre about to ask regarding his reasons for leaving. Tries to prepare himself to lie cleanly because heâs sure youâre as aware of his tells as he is of yours.Â
Then you ask:Â
âDid you defect because of something Oda asked of you?â
Jesus. Right for the throat. You really donât pull punches.Â
Dazaiâs throat tightens at the mention of his old friend, but heâs able to keep his expression clear of the sudden pain that your question brings on. Youâre watching him carefully for reactions, gaze hawklike as you study his face, and Dazai is not about to let you pinpoint any more of his tells so early in the game.
He figures that this is an easy question; you already know the answer but want to hear the confirmation from his lips, so he decides to tell the truth.
âYes.â
âThe truth,â you say, an indecipherable expression on your face. He wonders if you want to ask what Odasaku asked of him, but thatâs not part of the game and Dazai has no intention of answering that.
Be on the side that saves people. If both are the same to you, become a good man.
You might laugh in his faceâDazai Osamu, the Demon Prodigy, a good man? The idea is blasphemous, and he thinks it might actually hurt him if you scoff or laugh in response to hearing that, so he keeps his mouth shut and doesnât give away more than he has to, hoping that you donât just straight up ask him.
You open your lips to speak, and Dazai braces himself for the prying question, but instead, you only probe, âFirst question?â
He wonders if your whole first question and the implications of it was just a means of trying to throw him off because now heâs fumbling trying to remember what he wanted to ask you before you hit him with it. He wouldnât put it past you to play dirty like thatâbringing up his dead friend and his last request just to unsettle him to give you the edge.
âDid we meet during my underground years after I defected?â he finally asks, and yeah, he knows the answer to this question. The missing half of his ear and waking up in the old safe house he used to hide out at with you is more than enough evidence for him to come to a definite conclusion, but he wants to hear it from you.
âYes.â
Dazai inhales sharply and then murmurs, âThatâs the truth.â And then, more loudly and far more affronted, he accuses, âI canât believe you shot half of my ear off.â
He expects you to toss him a wink and a sharp grin, unrepentant and even finding amusement in his offense, but instead, your expression falters for the first time since heâs arrived. Something strange crosses your face; for whatever reason, his words leave you conflicted and Dazai suddenly feels even more nervous than he already was because now he canât help but wonder what he mightâve said to you in his drunken state.Â
He supposes thatâll have to be another question, but first, heâs going to have to figure out how to phrase it to get a yes or no answer first, without being vague enough for it to be a waste of a question or easy for you to misconstrue.
You hum after a few moments, taking a pointed sip of your wine. Dazai watches curiouslyâyouâre bothered still, youâre not even trying to hide it. He knows you have better control over your facial expressions than this, so he thinks maybe itâs a ploy to get him to start spiraling down a path of useless questions. Put off by his sudden inability to discern your schemes, a part of him wonders if maybe you were right because the him of four years ago wouldâve seen right through you right now.
âIâm afraid it had to be done,â you sigh with faux regret, but he can tell from the way the smile on your lips doesnât reach your eyes that youâre not into the banter. âWere you able to fulfill Odaâs request?âÂ
Fuck. This time Dazai canât withhold the grimace that spreads across his face. He tries to keep his voice light with a deflecting comment, âMy, bella, youâre really hitting with the deep questions tonight, arenât you?â
You raise your eyebrows, tilting your head to the side as you wait for an answer, not giving him any room to formulate a response to your question. He finally sighs and shakes his head, taking a long sip of his whiskey. He wishes he had a pack of cigarettes on him, suddenly desperately longing for the pleasant burn of the smoke against his throat; he needs the buzz badly right now.
As if you could read his mind, you shift in your seat a bit and stuff your hand into the pocket of your slacks. It takes a few seconds but you fish out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, sliding them across the table over to him. If he wasnât already so in his head over the question you asked, heâd make a quip over the fact that you still know him so well despite your insistence otherwise, but he only pulls out a cigarette and lights it, looking curiously down at the familiar brand.
âSince when did you start smoking these?â he asks quietly, eyes fluttering shut as he tilts his head back and takes a long drag of it. He exhales slowly and then adds, âThought you liked the other ones, in the green box.â
âTeal,â you correct, and then frown a bit. â... Switched after you left.â
Dazaiâs eyes flutter back open as his gaze focuses on you, wondering if the implication you left up in the air is something he can take at face value or if itâs just another way of trying to get him to lower his guard. But from the way you suddenly donât meet his eyes, Dazai thinks you might be being honest: you switched because they reminded you of him.
Dazaiâs chest suddenly feels heavy again.
â... No,â he finally responds to your second question. âNot yet, at least.â
â... Truth,â you say, and Dazaiâs lips curl into a wry smile.
âUnfortunately.â The word slips out before he can stop it.
Your gaze flickers back up to him, curious, but Dazai doesnât give you the chance to dwell on his comment, asking his next question: âDid I⊠admit anything to you that night that I wouldnât have said while sober?â
His fingers tap rhythmically against his glass of whiskey, half-empty now; heâs anxious to hear your response.
âYou did,â you confirm.
Dazai grimaces because thatâs another truth, and that is not good. But just like how he doesnât offer any context for his answers, you donât either. He doesnât know what he mightâve admitted or how you mightâve taken itâheâs going to have to waste another question on this topic.
âTruth,â he murmurs.
You hum and then ask, âDo you still blame yourself for what happened to him?â
âCome on,â Dazai complains sharply, tossing you a dirty look now. His jaw is tight. He wonders if you keep asking about Oda as some sort of sick revenge for him leaving, ripping open wounds that never properly healed so you can dig your fingers into them and twist around. You donât look bothered by his outburst, waiting patiently for a response. He lets out an angry sigh, looking away and taking another long drink from his glass and another drag of his cigarette.Â
He voices his first lie, âNo.â
You let out a puff of air, rising to your feet and making your way over to the opposite counter, you grab the bottle of whiskey and bring it back over to him, topping off his now-empty glass before pointedly holding out your hand. He passes the cigarette over to you, tilting his head back to watch you bring it to your lipsâa part of him longs to lean forward, to slide his hand behind your neck and cradle your head as he brings his lips to yours, inhaling the smoke as you exhale it, dizzy off the proximity to you, high off the buzz of the nicotine, just like the two of you would do when before he left.
He refrains, if only barely.
You exhale the smoke, a small cloud billowing around youâDazai mourns the wasteâand then you pass the cigarette back over to him. Your fingers brush his as you do, and a spark shoots through his arm at the touch.
âA lie,â you finally say, looking down at him with a frown. âYou shouldnât blame yourself. There was nothing you couldâve done to save him.â
âYou donât know that,â Dazai says tightly, averting his gaze from you as you make your way back over to your seat across from him. âIf Iâd been faster-â
âIf Mori wants someone dead, then theyâll die,â you interrupt him, a grimace on your face as you look down at your wine glass. âTrust me, Dazai, there was no saving Oda Sakunosuke.â
Dazai pauses instead of snapping again, catching the expression on your face. Haunted, as if youâre speaking from experience. He tilts his head to the side and then asks quietly, âAre you talking about your ex-partner? Itou?â
If Dazai remembers correctly, he died on a mission when you turned eighteen. You never told him the circumstances, and he never asked, but it was the first and only time you ever broke down in front of him.
The corner of your lips tightens, âIs that your next question?â
Dazai barely withholds a frustrated sigh.Â
âNo,â he says quietly, and then asks, âDid I tell you why I couldnât say goodbye? The real reason?â
He holds his breath now as he waits for your response. One way or another, this question is a double blade: if he did tell you why, then heâs at another disadvantage because heâs going to feel distinctly bare and vulnerable; if he didnât tell you, he just admitted that he lied back at your office, at least partially.Â
After what feels like an eternity, you finally say, âYes.â
The truth. Dazai wonders when youâre going to utter your first lie, if you will, or if youâre trying to make some sort of point by being honest with him. He voices his answer and then waits impatiently for your next question as his mind races.
He desperately wants to know how you responded to him back then. Would you have come with him had he come to you before he left? Or would you have chosen the Port Mafia? He wonders if he should ask, make it one of his remaining seven questions, but he doesnât know if he has the guts to hear your answer, so maybe heâll just change the subject.
âAre you enjoying yourself at the Agency?â
For the life of him, Dazai cannot figure out your angle. First, the prying questions about Oda and now asking about the Agency. He doesnât know what he expected at the start of the gameâyouâve always been unpredictable, but even more so now. Heâs never had such a hard time reading you or your intentions before.
He starts to feel even more doubtful, wondering if you were right.
Maybe he doesnât know you as well as he thinks he does anymore.
But this is an easy question, so he says the truth with little hesitation, âI am.â
Dazai swears the corners of your lips curl up into a soft smile, but itâs gone so quickly that he mightâve imagined it.
âGood,â you say quietly. âIâm glad.â
Dazaiâs lips part, a warm feeling spreads through his chest at the honesty in your tone. Desperately, he wants to know whatâs going onâwhereâs the rage and the betrayal he expected from you? The hate? Why do you seem⊠okay with all of this?
Irrationally, he starts to wonder if everything from the office was just a heat-of-the-moment conversation. If now that youâve had time to sit on your thoughts, youâve realized⊠realized what? That youâve moved on from him? That you donât care what he does anymore? That youâve accepted that heâs no longer a part of your life? The warmth in his chest disappears, edged away by a sudden coldness and desperation because he thinks heâd rather die than go back to a life without you.
Even more irrationally, he remembers the comment you made back at the office, the admission that youâve slept around since he left. Oh god, what if you really have moved on?
He knows his next question.
âThe people you slept withâwere they all one-night stands?â
He doesnât want to know the answer unless itâs a yes.
You raise your eyebrows at the abrupt shift in his line of questioning, and then, to his absolute horror, you say, truthfully, âNo.â
âWhat do you mean no?â he asks angrilyâhe thinks if he was a bird, heâd be puffing his chest out in irritation. He feels antsy suddenly, he needs to move around. He starts tapping his foot against the floor, his fingers against the glass. And again, he thinks youâre a despicable bitch because you only look amused at his question as if heâs not beside himself with righteous fury.
âItâs not your turn,â is all you respond with, and Dazai has a distinct urge to throttle you. Then you ask, âDo you feel like you belong there?â
He halts.
His fingers freeze from where theyâre tapping against the glass, his foot freezes mid-motion. His lips part as heâs confronted with the very question that heâs been struggling with for two years now. He wants to yes, if only to maybe be a little spiteful, to rub in your face that heâs somewhere good and heâs somewhere where he belongs, and itâs not somewhere with you. A cruel dig to get back for the aching in his chest at the thought of you being with other people, but he knows that youâll catch the lie, and more importantly, he doesnât want to hurt you like that.
Maybe he has grown a bit because the Dazai of four years ago nearly killed your civilian boyfriend when he found out that you were dating someone besides him and then promptly made a show of sleeping around to try to get back at you.
So, instead, he says quite honestly, âI donât know.â
You tilt your head to the side. âNot a yes or no answer, but I suppose it works. How curious.â
He hates your cryptic comments. Pointedly, he side-eyes you as he takes another long drag of his cigarette. Already, itâs nearly down to the nub, so he puts it out on your table, ignoring the distasteful look you give him, and then reaches for another to light as he asks: âWere you in a relationship with any of them?âÂ
You roll your eyes at his prying, and he cannot hide the abject horror that crosses his face when you say, âYes.â
âThat better be a lie,â he complains, and when you look at him as if to ask if thatâs really his guess, he makes a show of pushing out his bottom lip and looking away as he says: âI cannot believe you dated other people. Cheater.â
âWe were never even dating, Daz-â
âYes, we were,â Dazai protests instantly, entirely aghast at your words. âWe absolutely were. What does that even mean? Of course, we were dating. Everybody knew it. Ask anybody. Ane-san knew. Gin-chan knew. Chuuya knew. Even Mori knew. We were so dating, you-â
âYou never officially asked me to be your girlfriend, which is, unfortunately, the most fundamental step of dating,â you interrupt him, and Dazai stares at you in disbelief.
âI bought you flowers, we fucked exclusively,â Dazai complains, aggrieved. âWe were definitely dating, and you definitely cheated on me because we never broke up.â
âIf we were dating,â you emphasize the if very pointedly, and Dazai is distinctly put out by it, âthen we broke up the day you left without saying goodbye.â
Dazai withers. He has no witty comment to return fire with, so instead, he just takes another sip of his whiskey, grateful for the combined buzz of the alcohol and the nicotine to distract him from the overwhelming guilt he feels whenever you bring up how he left you.
âDo you feel like you belong more with the Agency than you did with the Port Mafia?âÂ
Your next question is an amendment to your previous on, and it leaves Dazai just as lost.
He wants to belong with the Agency. He does. Desperately. He wants more than anything to feel as at home and comfortable in the light as he does in the dark. He doesnât want to question his place among them anymore, he doesnât want to wonder if he sticks out like a sore thumb. He wants to enter the office and feel like he doesnât have to pretend to be someone heâs not, just so he can keep his place with them. He doesnât want to have to fear at every corner that heâs going to revert to old habits, and theyâll see him for the monster that he is: a monster that should have never left the dark crevices that he crawled out from, a monster with blood so black that it strikes fear in even the most terrible mafiosos.
âNo,â he admits the insecurity thatâs plagued him to the one person he feels comfortable enough with to voice it aloud. He canât bring himself to look up at you, wondering if the admission will give you some sort of sick satisfaction, if youâll be happy that heâs not finding a place he can be comfortable in without you. Instead, he decides to rush to ask his next question: âThe one you were in a relationship with, did you love him?â
He thinks that the question came across as far more timid than he meant it to be, and his eyes slide shut as he waits for your answer.
âThere were multiple I had relationships withââ Dazai scoffs, of course, there were multiple. ââ...but no, I did not.â
He lets out a soft puff of air, shoulders slumping a bit in relief. But his fingers are still tense around his glass, waiting for whatever question youâre going to ask next thatâs going to dig deep into open wounds, stripping him of all of his masks and armor to force him to lay himself entirely bare in front of you.
âDid you really blow up Chuuyaâs car before you left?â
His eyes fly open at the sudden change of pace in your questions, noting the smirk curling at the corner of your lips and the amusement glinting in your eyes. He accepts the olive branch quickly as he gives you a sharp smile and asks: âWhat do you think?âÂ
Your hand flies to your mouth to muffle a laugh, and the smile on Dazaiâs lips becomes a bit softer as he watches you desperately try to get yourself under control. âYouâre insane, you know that?â you finally say, still trying to bite back giggles. âHe was so mad. Raged about it for weeks.â
Another question pops into Dazaiâs head at the mention of Chuuya, and before he can consider whether or not he actually wants to know the answer to it, he asks: âSpeaking of Chuuya, was he one of your trysts while I was gone?â
Suddenly, you are not laughing, and suddenly, Dazai regrets speaking.
âNo,â he says, shaking his head. âDo not tell me-â
âHe was,â you confirm.
Dazaiâs glass of whiskey is empty.Â
He grabs the bottle and drinks right from it, miserable.
âI think I wouldâve rather been stabbed through the heart,â Dazai says mournfully, and though he keeps a faux-light tone with you, his throat feels like itâs swollen, and he feels a bit sick to his stomach.
Heâs always been jealous of the bond you have with Chuuya. Absurdly jealous, even. You clicked with him quicklyâyou clicked with both of them quickly, and maybe it was a matter of the three of you being the youngest of the Port Mafiaâs uppermost echelon, but Dazai doesnât want to attribute it solely to thatâbut the way you clicked with Chuuya was different from how you clicked with Dazai. Two people so completely human locked away in the dark, clinging to one another to maintain some sense of normalcy; your and his casual humanity made Dazaiâs lack of it irrefutable and glaring.
Regardless of the why, he never liked how close you were with Chuuya.Â
Even before you were dating himâbecause you were dating himâa part of him had always felt sidelined whenever the three of you hung out together. Not because of either of your wrongdoings but just because it was hard for him to keep up with the two of you. He always felt a bit lost trying to, unable to follow along when the two of you would start laughing at jokes that he didnât understand even when you explained them to him, when you would share glances with one another that spoke whole conversations he wasnât privy to. The two of you got along in ways that Dazai would never be able to get along with anyone because thereâs just something fundamentally wrong with him at his core. Chuuya, for all of his talk and fear regarding the question of his humanity, has always been so unfailingly human in ways that Dazai, to this day, cannot fathom to understand.
After you started dating himâbecause you were dating himâit only got worse because heâd see you with Chuuya and wonder if you were better off with someone like him instead. Dazai doesnât know how to treat you right, clearly. He canât even treat himself right; and Chuuya has always been the epitome of a gentleman, loathe Dazai is to admit itâAne-san drilled that into the other boy where Mori only taught Dazai how to be cruel and unforgiving. The line between love and obsession has always been a terribly blurry one for him, and you have always wavered on either side of itâand Dazai, unfortunately, does not love healthily and obsesses so entirely that it would have most people running for the hills.Â
For better or for worse, youâre not most people.
In his spiral of insecurity, he doesnât catch the way your brows furrow as you put together some puzzle pieces. âDazai,â you say suddenly, drawing him from his thoughts abruptly. Thereâs an accusatory look in your eyes that he really does not like. âWere you the one that booby-trapped my fucking apartment?â
Dazai snorts.
âYou bastard,â you snap at him, and Dazai canât help but bite the palm of his hand as a means of trying to stifle his laughter. âMori thought it was a goddamn assassination attempt. He kept me under watch for weeks because of you. I couldnât leave the towers without half of the Black Lizards with me.â
âSorry,â he coos, not sorry at all. Dazai, because he clearly doesnât know when to learn his lesson, then he promptly asks, âAm I better fuck than Chuuya?â
âJesus Christ, Dazai, get off the topic of Chuuya and my sex life, itâs clearly only upsetting you,â you snap at him instead of answering the question. Dazai wants to argue and retain some dignity; heâs not upset, but then his entire world is shattered by your next words: âI am not answering this question.â
Dazai blanches. He can feel the blood drain from his face. Heâd thought this was an easy question to make him feel a bit better. What do you mean you wonât answer? Does that mean Chuuya-
No. Dazai refuses to believe it.
 âNo way,â he says, shaking his head. âHeâs not a better fuck than me. You canât possibly-â
âHeâs not,â you finally say, and Dazai audibly lets out a sigh of relief. âBut if you ever mention anything along the likes of that to him, you will never fuck me again, Dazai Osamu. Do you understand?â
Dazai is too relieved to even argue. âYeah.â
âNo more questions about my sex life,â you say firmly, and Dazai doesnât respond, but he does agree internally because he doesnât think his heart can handle any more scares like that. Your eyes sharpen again, and Dazai braces himself. âWere you the one to tell Mori I lied about being sick so I could skip out on the ball Mishima hosted when we were seventeen?â
Dazaiâs eyes narrow right back at you and rather than answering, he shoots one of his own questions at you: âWere you the one to tell Mori I had his contact in my phone as âignoreâ?â
You take his lack of an answer as an affirmative, correctly so. Dazai has no regrets about ratting you out to Mori because he was not about to attend Mishimaâs event without you on his arm. Heâd rather die.Â
âYou bastard, do you know the lengths I went to fake being sick? I wanted one night to relax without people breathing down my neck.â
âIf I had to go, you had to go,â Dazai retorts petulantly. âI was not about to suffer with only Chuuya as company. You had no reason to tell Mori about the contact name besides to be petty. I fought with Chuuya for weeks because I thought he was the one to do it.â
You choke on a laugh. âChuuya was so mad, he had no idea what you were talking about.â
âHe tied me to a pole and swung me around for three hours,â Dazai complains, but thereâs a smile on his lips as you burst into laughter, unable to stifle the giggles that spill from your lips.
âI know,â you wheeze, âI got it on video. We watch it sometimes when weâre bored and canât find a movie.â
Dazai gapes, and you laugh harder, but for the first time in four years, Dazai finally feels⊠at home, he feels comfortable in his own skin again. Heâs back in your penthouse, heâs drinking his favorite whiskey and smoking his favorite brand of cigarettes, youâre sitting at the kitchen table with him and laughing your head off at his expense, and for a moment, Dazai feels as if nothing has changed: he feels like himself again, eighteen and entirely enamored by the sight and sound of you, and you feel like you again, all of the doubt that had begun to rise to his chest as the two of you played the questions game long gone.
He falls in love with you all over again. Harder this time. Faster. He thinks heïżœïżœïżœll fall in love with you again and again every day for the rest of your lives, each time more than the last, no matter how impossible it might seem.
He thinks maybe itâs not that he feels like he belongs with the Port Mafia more than the Agency. He thinks that itâs you. Youâre the one he feels at home with. Youâre the one heâs comfortable enough to be himself with. Youâre the one he belongs with, always has, and always will.
After a few moments, you finally manage to get yourself under control, still giggling a bit as you look back up at him. Your smile is softer now, eyes gentle, more genuine than the smile you gave him before asking the first question. Dazaiâs breath catches because when was the last time you looked at him like thisâthe last time anyone has looked at him like this? A warm feeling spreads through his chest; Dazai thinks he would stay in this moment forever if given the opportunity.
âAre you happy?â you ask quietly
Dazai blinks, startled, and an odd feeling spreads through his chest once your question registers. His lips part to answer, but no words leave them; he draws back as if heâs been slapped, a bit flustered and confused because thatâs the furthest thing from what he expected you to ask. He wonders if youâd asked the last three questions to lull him into a false sense of security.
âI-â he starts to say but cuts himself off. âWhat kind of question is that?âÂ
He tries to deflect instead of properly answering, frowning, but you only raise your eyebrows, pointedly keeping your lips sealed to let him know that you expect an answer. He shakes his head and then sighs, bouncing the question in his head a few times before going for a cop-out: âWhen Iâm with you? Always.â
Youâre not pleased by his decision, frowning as you look away from himâhe knows thatâs not what you asked, not really, but you should have been clearer with your question if you wanted him to give you the answer you expected. But he doesnât like the sudden disappointment on your face, it leaves his skin itchy and his chest longing for the soft look to return.
So he sits there, ruminating on the question. Is he happy? He should be, right? Heâs saving people. Heâs on the way to fulfilling Odasakuâs final request. He has a whole group of people whom he can rely on without having to fear being taken advantage of or betrayed at every corner. Heâs happy.
But is he trying to convince himself of it? Why is he still trying to kill himself if heâs happy? Why is there a part of him that feels lonely no matter how surrounded he is by people? Why is it that when heâs at his lowest points, the only two people he wishes he could be with are you and Chuuya? Why does he ache for the days heâd spend dragging the two of you around Yokohama, causing trouble for Moriâthe closest heâs ever felt to enjoying life?
âI donât know,â he finally amends his answer, looking down at the bottle in front of him and the cinders of the cigarette dangling between his fingers. He lifts it to his lips again, taking one last drag of it as he tries to figure out what his last question should be.
Thereâs only one pressing question he has left, but he hesitates, unsure if he really wants to know your answer.
He forces it out anyway.
âWould you⊠would you have come with me back then?â His voice is quieter than he intended, cracks over âmeâ, and to your credit, you donât react to the question, expression as eerily still as it was before, as if youâre considering your words.
A yes or no. It shouldnât take this long for you to answer. Each second that passes feels like an eternity, and Dazai suddenly feels anxious, he doesnât know why he asked this question because if the answer is noâif itâs no, thenâŠ
Finally, you let you a soft sigh, taking a sip of your wine as if to prolong his agony.
Your lashes flutter before you speak.
You lie for the first time that night.
âYes.â
Dazaiâs voice sounds far away as he says, âThatâs a lie.â
âI guess you were right,â you say softly, but you sound so distant, like youâre on the opposite side of a long, empty tunnel and not sitting right in front of him. âWe do still know each other decently well; you got them all right.â
Dazai doesnât care. In fact, he would have gladly conceded a loss in this game, and he wouldâve gladly admitted that maybe the two of you donât know each other as well as you used to if it meant that he got the last question wrong because then he wouldâve just given you a coy expression and asked if youâd let him get to know this new version of you too. You wouldâve said yes, and he wouldâve made quite the pleasurable night out of it for the two of you. Instead, he had to insist that nothing has changed, and now he has to come to terms with the fact that he was right and he had known you well enough back then to know not to ask you to leave with him because you would have chosen the Mafia over him.Â
Heâs so lost in his thoughts that he doesnât even notice you approaching him until youâre leaning on the table next to him, index and middle finger coming beneath his chin to tilt his face up toward you. He looks up at you through his lashes, eyes searching your face, but he only finds another blank slate that he canât read. His breath hitches when your hand slides from his chin to cup his cheek, and he canât help the way that he leans into your touch, eyes fluttering shut.
âI would choose you over so many things, Osamu.â You speak his given name for the first time in years, but he can hardly find any comfort in it because he knows heâs not going to like what youâre about to say. Your fingers card through the tips of his hair, brushing the dark locks behind his ear as your thumb sweeps over his cheekbone. âBut not over the Port Mafia. Just like how you didnât choose to stay for me.â
âItâs not the same,â he says, voice hoarse. âItâs-â
âIt is,â you interrupt, voice deceptively gentle, and he thinks youâre entirely unfair because he can hardly focus with your touch distracting him. Heâs missed it so muchâheâs gone four years without it, without any type of touch that wasnât him getting his shit kicked in by Kunikida or an enemy. âYou didnât choose to stay for me. I wouldnât have chosen to leave for you.â
âWhy?â Dazai asks tightly, and he hates that when his jaw tenses, you smooth your fingers over it, and he unclenches it immediately.
Thereâs a sadder look in your eye now as you give him a small smile. âYou know why.â
Of course, he knows why. He feels the hatred deep in his gut as his mind draws back to Mori. Because thatâs who the issue is. Itâs not the Port Mafia. Itâs not your friendship with Kouyou. Itâs not even your friendship with Chuuya thatâs the issue. Itâs Mori and your undying loyalty to him. No matter how much you claim to despise him, bashing him every chance you get, sneering at him whenever he tries to treat you like his daughter, Dazai knows that when it comes down to it, youâll always choose him. Youâd throw yourself on a sword if he asked it of you, and not for the first time, Dazai wants to spit in the manâs face for making you feel as if youâre eternally indebted to him for rescuing you from that warzone so many years ago; for making you feel as if youâre nothing without the Mafia, nothing without him.
âYou donât owe him anything,â Dazai says tightly. âYou have to know that by nowâyou donât owe him anything.â
âI donât want to have this conversation, Dazai,â you sigh, sounding tired. Your hand drops from his face, and Dazai longs for your touch again instantly. His fingers twitch from where theyâre resting on his lap; he only barely stops himself from reaching out for you. You try to smile as you change the subject, but it hardly meets your eyes, âItâs a tie then. No prize for either of us, hm?â
Dazai is not so inclined to switch the subject. He wants to press on this now that he has the chance; he doesnât know if heâll ever be able to rip you out from beneath Moriâs thumb, but he needs to at least try⊠but youâre leaving again in the morning, and Dazai also does not want to ruin this night with you. He doesnât know when heâll get another.
So, instead, he matches your half-assed smile as he looks up at you and says, âI didnât say you got them all right. You only said that I got them all right.â
You raise your eyebrows. âDid I get any wrong?â you ask, amused.
No.
âYes.â
âLiar,â you say, but thereâs a fond lilt to your tone as you let out another puff of air, the smile on your face finally reaching your eyes as you look down at him. The soft lighting of your kitchen casts a pretty glow over your face, your smile is so entrancing that Dazai thinks he could stare at it forever.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he breathes out, the words slipping from his lips before he can stop them. âIâve missed you so much.â
Heâs sure he must look like a fool right now, entirely enamored by the sight of you, unable to even fathom drawing his gaze away. He wonders if youâll protest again, call him a liar, and shift away from him.
You donât.
The smile on your lips falls, and a wrecked expression crosses your face as your eyes search his. Your lips part to speak, and he waits with bated breath for whatever youâre about to sayâhe thinks that if you deny him again right now, it might completely shatter all of the walls heâd so carefully built to protect himself.
âIâve missed you too,â you whisper as if youâre scared to speak the words out loudâand how can he blame you when the last time you dared to speak them, he hung up on you, never hearing from him again until tonight.
God, the guilt he feels whenever he thinks of you returns with a vengeance, so intense that Dazai starts to feel sick to his stomach. He canât handle it, so he does the only thing he knows how to do to distract himself from it.
His movements are clumsy as he pushes himself up to his feet, nearly tripping over the leg of his chair, and his fingers feel clunky as he lifts them up to cup your cheeks. For a second, he fears that you might move away from him, but you donât, so he leans in to press his lips against yours.
Thereâs no tenderness to his kiss. Dazai kisses you like he wants to consume you, lips sliding messily against yours, blunt nails indent crescents into your cheeks as he holds you close. Usually, he would be embarrassed by his blatant desperation and lack of finesseâheâs never been a sloppy kisser, when the two of you were younger, you would always let out pleased hums into his mouth, lashes fluttering as he worked his lips carefully against yours, tongue sliding against your own as he traces his name on it.Â
All of his finely honed skill is thrown out the window now as he kisses you like a man who has been starved for years. He has been starved for yearsâthe quick fuck in your office did nothing to quell the longing heâs felt for you the past four years. He could kiss you for hours. Days, even, and it still wonât be enough. Nothing short of an eternity with you would be enough to make up for the four years heâs been deprived of you.
He lets out a low groan into your mouth as you nip at his bottom lip, hands sliding from your face down to your hips. Heâd take you here. Right now. But he remembers the last time he tried to fuck you on your kitchen table, it ended with him choking on the barrel of your gun as you yelled at him for being gross (âI eat on this table, you heathen!â) and heâs not particularly in the mood to set off your temper now that he finally has you in his arms again, so itâs with much restraint that he grabs you by the hips to walk you back into your bedroom.
He can hardly concentrate as your fingers twist the hair at the nape of his neck, soft moans slipping from his lips, muffled against your mouth. Itâs only sheer instinct and muscle memory that has him making his way from the kitchen and down the hall. He canât bring himself to separate his lips from yours for even a second. And heâs a mess because heâs not coherent enough to force himself to breathe properly through his nose, so his lungs are burning and his head feels a bit light, but he doesnât care so long as it means he can keep kissing you.
Turn left, turn right, second door from the end of the hall.Â
His fingers fumble for the knob of your bedroom door, pushing it open a bit too hard, considering the way he hears it slam against the wall and how you tug his hair hard in retaliation. He doesnât care, moans a bit louder even when your nails scrape his stinging scalp, and you let out a derisive noise against his lips before biting down hard enough to draw blood.
The taste of iron makes a slow smile curl at his lips, walking you back toward the bed, and itâs only when your knees hit the edge that you finally pull away from him. âIf you broke my door, youâre fixing it, Osamu.â
Dazaiâs smile is lecherous. âIâm gonna break something alright,â he croons, relishing in the way you immediately roll your eyes at him. Itâs all so familiarâhe can almost pretend that he never left, that nothing has changed since the two of you were eighteen, dumb, reckless, and in love.
Before he can press you back against the bed, he feels your fingers drop from around his neck to his waistband, curling around his belt loops. In an instant, youâve twisted the both of you around, and suddenly, itâs the back of Dazaiâs knees pressed against the edge of the bed as you push him down onto the mattress. He hits the sheets with an âoofâ and a hazy smile, surrounded by the scent of you, drowning in the sight of you. He thinks he might be in heaven.Â
You shift on top of him, straddling his waist; Dazaiâs hands instantly come to rest on your thighs, sliding up the sides to grab your ass and pull you more firmly onto him. He groans when he feels you grind down against his cock, and god, heâs already hard just from kissing you. He hears you snort above him, but Dazai doesnât even have it in him to be embarrassed.
His lips part in a silent moan as you lean down to ghost kisses along his jaw, hands sliding up his chest. He feels you wrap your fingers around his bolo tie and tug it, you let out a sharp noise of distaste against his skin before murmuring: âI hate this ugly thing.â
He lets out a huff of laughter that quickly breaks off into a moan when your lips trail to the spot behind his ear that always makes him writhe. His fingers bite into your hips, pushing you down on him as he rocks his hips up into youâshit, he might be able to cum just from this. His cock is straining painfully against his beige pants, twitching as he grinds up against your clothed cunt. He thinks maybe if he fucks his hips upward a few more times, he might be able to push himself over the edge, but as desperate as he is to chase his release, he refuses to cum anywhere but inside of you.
Plus, he thinks heâll be shamed to hell and back if he finishes in his pants with you hardly touching him.Â
âThen strip me out of it,â he gasps, lashes fluttering as your teeth graze his pulse point right above the edge of his bandages. Fuck, heâd give anything for you to bite downâriddle him with marks he canât cover so he can flaunt them off to everyone who looks at him. Dazai knows that there are countless men and women out there whoâd die to be able to be called yours, he wants them to know heâs the only one who can take that honor. âWhatâre you waiting for?âÂ
You hum and then sit back on his hipsâhe bites his bottom lip raw as you unintentionally put even more pressure on his cock. Heâs half dazed out, not realizing that your grip tightened on his bolo tie until you straight up yank it off of him, snapping the string around his neck.
âNo!â he complains, watching with wide eyes and parted lips as you fling the now-broken bolo tie off to the side of your room. âNoooo, whyâd you do that? Iâm going to have to order a new one.â
âBoo-hoo,â you say dryly, hardly paying attention to him as your fingers curl around the hem of his vest, pulling it up over his head, snorting when he lets out a puff of irritation as his nose gets caught around the collar.Â
âThis is so unsexy,â he protests, rubbing his nose. âShouldnât you be more gentle?âÂ
âStop wearing so many layers of clothes,â you retort, but Dazai is placated when you lean back down to kiss the corner of his lips, lashes fluttering as his eyes slide shut. He lets out a pleased hum as you kiss down his jaw, nimble fingers unbuttoning his final layer of clothing. He wishes he wore an undershirt just to watch you huff in annoyance. His breath catches as you nip at his skin and then murmur, âThis better?âÂ
âYeah,â he breathes out, voice wavering as you get down to the last button of his shirt, sliding it off of his shoulders and easing him out of it. His body shudders as your hands slide over the bandages wrapped around his abdomen. Fuck, itâs been so long since anyoneâs touched him beneath his clothes, even with the bandages still acting as a layer between the two of you, his nerves are on end, sensitive to everywhere your fingers touch.
He wonders if youâll pull off the bandagesâitâs a line that the two of you only crossed once back then, and although the idea of it has him brimming with anxiety, he longs for the feeling of your skin flush to his.
He almost feels a bit embarrassed when you sit back again to admire him as if thereâs not a scar-ridden body hidden beneath the bandages. You look at him like heâs beautiful, like heâs not a monster disguised as a man, like heâs human. Dazai has always felt distinctly seen beneath your stare like you can see through all of the masks he wears and see him for him, and that has not changed over the past four years.
Heâs missed the comfort of it. He has. It used to unnerve him back then, thinking someone could see him so clearly when he tried so hard and so carefully to hide himself beneath layers of impenetrable masks, but after going four years alone, with no one for him to turn to, no one he could look at and have them just know what heâs thinkingâŠÂ
Yosano once mentioned offhandedly that to be loved is to be seen, and Dazai thinks the only time heâs ever been seenâtruly seen, down to his core, deep in his soulâis when heâs with you.
It was a very lonely four years without you.
âI thought about you every day,â Dazai tells you softly, the grip on your hips easing up as he looks up at you. âMade a list of places I wanted to bring you and then burned it because I never thought Iâd get the chance to be with you again. Stared at old pictures of you all the time, couldnât sleep without thinking about memories with you. Drank your favorite wine just so I could pretend I was tasting it off your lips.â
You bring your hand up to cup his cheek, and Dazai leans into your touch, eyes fluttering shut again. He kisses your palm, humming softly when your thumb runs along his bottom lip.
âThere wasnât a single day I went without you crossing my mind,â you admit quietly and Dazaiâs breath hitches as he stares up at you, dark eyes wide and lips parted. He thinks he should say something, anything really, but itâs a lost cause. You donât seem to mind, luckily, because you only lean down to brush your lips against his again.
This kiss is softer than the last, lips trembling against yours as your tongue dances along his inner lip. He thinks his cheeks might feel wet but he doesnât dare acknowledge it; you donât either, only using your thumbs to brush away the tears as they spill over his cheeks.
âAre you really leaving again in the morning?â he finally asks, and he hates that his voice cracks over the words.
You hum in agreement, still hovering over him, still running your thumbs along his cheekbone. His lashes droop shut, but he forces them back open as you speak. âI am. Bright and early. Flight leaves at six.â
His gaze flickers to the left, over to where your alarm clock is set up on your nightstand.Â
12:35
He looks back at you, eyes swimming with desperation.
You give him a soft, wry smile. âWe should make the most of the night then, hm?â
He doesnât waste any time on that.
His grip on your hip tightens, and in one swift motion, he flips the two of you around, elbows resting on the mattress on either side of your head as he hovers above you. Your eyes glitter as you give him a coy smile, and again, Dazai falls in love.
Then, he ruins the moment.
âTell me how you fucked Chuuya.â
Your smile drops. âOsamu, what the fuck?â
âTell me,â he pouts, nudging his nose against your cheek and peppering soft kisses on your cheek and down your neck. His knees drop to the bed on either side of your hips, holding up his weight as he reaches down to unbutton your slacks, sliding them off your body. A smile flickers onto his lips as his fingers graze your pantiesâdrenched, finally, evidence that heâs not the only one so affected by this. âTell me. Were you on top? Did he take you from behind? Was he rough? No, itâs Chuuya-â
âIf you care so much about how Chuuya fucks, Osamu, how about you go fuck him yourself?â you interrupt him.
Dazai gags.
âDonât ever say that again,â he says and then returns to his mission, fumbling with his own pants now as he tries to yank them and his briefs off, unable to hold back the relieved sigh when he finally frees his cock, unceremoniously tossing them to the floor. âTell me.âÂ
âWhy do you care so much, hm?â you ask, reaching up to brush his hair out of his eyes. âI told you that you were better.â
Youâre only trying to deflect from the question and he almost lets you succeed, partially placated, but he stays strong, leveling an unrelenting stare onto you as he waits for your answer. You sigh heavily, and he knows heâs won.
âNot rough,â you say as if Dazai hasnât already come to that conclusion. Chuuyaâs had a crush on you since the three of you were sixteen. Dazai assumed he had grown out of it, but evidently, he was wrong, considering he took the opportunity to sleep with Dazaiâs girlfriendâbecause you were his girlfriendâthe moment Dazai was out of the picture. What a little snake. Dazai needs to vandalize his apartment again. Maybe set up a few more bombs. Heâs only drawn back from his mental spiral when you start talking again: âHe took the lead. Wanted to see my face the whole time, make sure I was okay.â
âHow gentlemanly of him,â Dazai saysâheâs not bitter. Heâs not.
âIt was,â you agree, too genuinely.
Dazai squints at you hard.Â
âDonât look at me like that,â you say. âYou asked.â
âYou donât need to sound so wistful.â
âOh, shut the fuck up, Osamu, Iâm not wistful.â
âHow-â
âAre we going to talk about Nakahara Chuuya all night, or are you going to fuck me?â you interrupt immediately, looking increasingly incensed. Dazai only raises his chin at you pointedlyâyouâre the one that slept with Chuuya. âTime is dwindling, Osamu.â
Okay.Â
Dazaiâs gaze flickers back to the clock and then back down to you, withering a bit under your irritated stare. He sighs and leans back over you to kiss the corner of your lips, fingers curling around the hem of your panties to slide them off your legs.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he murmurs against your skin, his kisses linger against your skin now as he drags his lips down to your jaw. âThe thought of him being with youâŠâ
It makes Dazai want to do terrible things. The part of him that he locked up deep within rattles at the bars of its cage, furious and bloodthirsty. The trigger finger heâs been so careful to tame twitches with a desire he hasnât felt in four years. The thought of anyone being with you makes Dazai sick to his stomachâDazai is the only one who should get to see you like this, be with you like thisâbut the thought of Chuuya being with you is so much worse.
âYouâre all Iâve ever wanted, Osamu,â you tell him quietly, fingers intertwining with his hair as he nips at your neck. âNo matter how much I slept around, nothing was ever able to fill the hole losing you left. Not even Chuuya.â
Dazai exhales, shakyâthe guilt returns, and so does the doubt because what right does he have sitting here being petty about what you did while he was gone when he was the one who left you behind without so much as a word? His eyes flutter shut, he spares a few more chaste kisses across your throat before lifting his face back to yours, kissing you gently.
âLet me make up for lost time then,â he says softly.
He doesnât hesitate now, one hand dropping down to your thigh, lifting it to wrap around his waist as he presses his hips into you. His breath shudders when his cock slips against your folds, a low moan spilling from his lips. He has to reach down to angle himself properly, tip pressing against your tight hole.
The fingers of his free hands are shaky as he lifts them to cup your cheek. âLook at me,â he says, heat spreading through his abdomen when he realizes you already can hardly hold your eyes open, quick breaths escaping your lips as you try to keep yourself from cumming already. âLook at me, I want to see you.â
Your eyes flutter open, lidded and heavy as you look up at him, and Dazai thinks that maybe he could cum just from the expression on your face alone, inhaling sharply as his thumb drags across your bottom lip. He thinks maybe he should try to get ahold of himself, fearing that if he pushes inside of you now, he might cum on the spot, but his cock is aching so badly that Dazai thinks he might die if he doesnât feel your heat around him immediately.
It takes all of his strength to keep his eyes from sliding shut as he pushes inside of you, desperate to see the way your face twists and your breath catches. Your lips tremble, chest rising and falling rapidly, he can feel your thighs tightening around his waist, and Dazai groans when your heels dig into his lower back, forcing his hips flush to you, burying his cock deep in your cunt. He chokes, grip on your thigh bruising; his abdomen tightens, and his head feels light.
No way, he thinks, gritting his teeth as he tries to hold back the waves of pleasure threatening to tear through him. He hears you let out a huff of laughter beneath him, and Dazai would shut you up with a sharp thrust of your hips, but heâs still desperately trying to regain control over himself, so he thinks thatâs maybe not the best idea.
His forehead drops to rest on the pillow next to your head, lips brushing your ear as he lets out a low moan. He canât even savor the way you let out a full-body shudder, fingers coming up to toy with the hair at the nape of his neck. Fuck, youâre so tightâDazai can feel your walls tightening around him, spasming, his breath is shaky, and he tries to distract himself by pressing his lips to your skin, mouthing messily at your skin, sucking and nipping and counting to ten as he tries to settle down.
But itâs hard with the soft sighs youâre letting out, the way your fingers catch on his tousled hair, tugging enough to make his scalp sting. His head is so fogged that he can hardly think straightâgod, heâs missed this, he hasnât had the comfort of letting himself go like this in⊠since he left, really. His mind is always turning, plotting out ten, twenty, thirty steps in advance in fear of making a mistake, slipping up and letting the rest of the Agency see him for what he is, slipping up and their lives being the price just like with Odasaku. Itâs only with you thatâs ever comfortable enough to finally let the cogs in his brain slow and shatter, lose himself in carnal pleasures, lose himself in you; itâs been four years since heâs last had a reprieve from his own brain.
But he only lets himself slip halfwayâtonight isnât going to be about him, itâs about you. He has four years to make up for and he intends on getting a good start on it tonight.
He pants quietly as he lifts his head enough to bite your earlobe, tugging it gently before pressing his lips to your temple. âIâve missed this,â he admits, voice raspy and clogged thick with emotion. âIâve-â
He can hardly get the words out, and his breath catches when your hands slide from behind his head to cup his cheeks, forcing him to look at you. He thinks he must look wreckedâhe can already feel the sweat beading on his forehead, and he knows his eyes are probably glazed over. You still look stunning, a soft expression on your face as you look up at him as if heâs not buried to the hilt inside of you.Â
Unfair, he thinks mournfully.Â
âWhat're you still holding onto, hm?â you ask, and Dazai only barely registers your words, sinking into your touch as you brush matted hair out of his eyes. He can finally bring himself to roll his hipsâexperimental, slow, trying to make sure he can actually move before trying to fuck you. Then you sigh softly, and heâs too out of it to try to make out the expression on your face as you say: âYou work yourself so hard⊠always have. Iâve got you, you can let go, Dazai. Câmon.â
âNo,â he hums, but his voice is strained, evidence of his struggle. âTonightâs about my favorite girl.â
âFavorite?â you tease, lifting your shoulders off the bed to ghost a kiss against his lips that nearly has his hips stutteringâthe conversation so reminiscent of one that the two of you had at seventeen it almost makes him smile.
âOnly,â he amends quietly, kissing your nose, then the corner of your lips, and then nipping your jawline.
Just when he thinks heâs good to actually start picking up the pace, intent on fucking the thoughts out of you until you forget about your stupid flight in the morning, he catches a suspicious expression on your face, one that has his eyes narrowing.
âWhat?â he asks dubiously; your eyes are glittering in a way that he knows from experience is dangerous.Â
You donât say anything, just look pointedly at your thighs, then up to his shoulders. Dazai tilts his head to the side, recognizing what you want, and after a momentâs hesitation, he slides your legs up above his shoulders, folding them to your chest, eyes nearly rolling back at the new angle. Fuck, his hips do stutter this time, breath hitching. He has to readjust again, mentally focus on not cumming on the spot, and then-
And then you say: âHe had my legs like this.â
A trick.Â
Dazai knows it.Â
Youâre trying to make him let go of the thin thread of self-control he still has. To give in. To let all of the gears in his brain finally fall apart for the first time in four years.
He knows it.
He falls for it anyway.
Dazaiâs jaw tightens, gaze snapping down to you only to catch a goading look in your eyes, a sly smile on your lips that Dazai has every intention of fucking right off your face. He inhales sharply, one hand sliding up your body to grab your chin, blunt nails digging a bit too deeply into your cheeks.
âYeah?â he says, voice rough.Â
Your lashes flutter and lips part as Dazai pointedly jerks his hips up. Your breath catches over a moan, and Dazai knows that this new angle is affecting you just as much as it is him.
âMhm,â you agree, and just like that, the thin thread snaps.
He snaps his hips into you so hard that your bedframe bangs loudly against the wall behind it, quickly setting a steady pace, nice and deep, quick enough that you canât even get a breath of air to your lungs before Dazai is fucking it right out of you. Already, heâs so fucked out that his mind is in shambles, one hand settling on your hip to hold you in place as he thrusts his hips into you, hitting that sweet spot with each stroke while his other hand, still cupping your face, slides down to your neck.
He doesnât squeezeâwouldnât dare to cut off the pretty noises spilling from your lips, moans of his names, choked gasps and cries between each rock of his hipsâbut the fact that you trust him, him, enough to have his fingers wrapped around your throat is always a quick way make him topple over the edge.
His eyes dart down to your chest, realizing, very unfortunately, that you havenât taken off your button-up yet. He nearly bites down on his tongue in frustration as his hand comes down to your chest, careful to keep the pace of his hips as he hooks his fingers around the first button just to yank down, popping off half of the buttons of your expensive dress shirt and haphazardly pulling it off of you to toss it to the side before fumbling with the clip of your bra.
âOsamu,â you hiss, and Dazai revels in the way your voice wavers with each thrust, biting back moans. âThatâs the second-â
You donât get to finish your sentence. Dazai tosses your bra over with your discarded shirt and dips his head down to wrap his lips around your nipple, tongue swirling around the sensitive bud before rolling it between his teeth, and youâre goneâDazai lets out a muffled groan around you as your back arches up into him, crying out his name, walls tightening around him as you cum on his cock.
âOh-f-hah-fuck,â Dazai gasps as he rests his head on your collarbone, grip on your waist tightening.Â
He has to physically force himself to lift his head, bracing his forearm on the mattress next to your head, desperate to see the way your eyes roll back, he can already feel himself teetering over the edgeâthe lewd sound of skin-on-skin, the sloppiness of his cock driving in and out of your cunt, he can feel your cum dripping down his cock, smeared on his pelvis.
His hand slides behind your head, lifting it from where you have it pressed against the mattress. Beautifulâthe only thought that can run through his hazy brain is of you and how perfect you are, lips swollen and bitten raw, parted as pitched moans escape them, tears spilling from the corner of your eyes as he fucks you through your orgasm and right into a second. Heâs the only one that should ever get to see you like this, with your clever brain fucked right and dumb, body writhing against the bed as you cling to him.
He leans down again, trailing sloppy kisses against your neck, gasping as he starts to feel his high approaching.
âNo one makes you feel like this,â he says, or maybe he begs, heâs not sure if heâs making a statement or pleading for you to tell him itâs the truth. âTell me. T-shit-tell me.â
âNo one,â you sob over another moan, and Dazai can feel your pussy fluttering around himâhe wonders if heâs already fucked you into a third. Usually, it takes longer. âNo one, Osamu, youâre the only one.â
And thatâs the only thing he needed to hear to give him that final push. His steady pace shifts into a more erratic one, sloppy and desperate, as he chases a high thatâs just out of reach. His moans are muffled against your skin, teeth scraping your collarbone, mind a jumbled mess of thoughts of you. He feels your fingers trembling as you lift them to his cheeks, pulling his face up to press your lips against his, and thatâs all it takes: he lets out a wanton moan against your mouth, pressing your legs further into your chest as his hips still against your ass, finishing deep inside of you.
Spots dance in his vision, head buzzing and ears ringing; he swears his orgasm lasts an eternity, body shaking and shuddering above you, letting out breathy moans into your mouth. He can feel his cum dribbling out of you, pooling onto the sheets beneath the two of you, so much of it that you canât even keep it all in you.Â
He doesnât let his lips leave yours onceâthe kisses are messy and sloppy, devoid of all of the finesse that the two of you usually have, teeth nearly clashing, tongues sliding against each otherâs.Â
Itâs only when his vision finally starts to clear and his head feels less on the verge of passing out does Dazai finally trails kisses from your lips to your jaw and down your neck before he finally collapses on top of you, mind entirely gone, like heâs floating on clouds. He pants as he tries to catch his breath, eyes lidded as he absently trails kisses along your chest and collarbone. He thinks the world could be ending around the two of you, and Dazai wouldnât even have the capacity to notice. For the first time in four years, he really, truly allows his brain to rest.
He doesnât know how much time passes, eyes drooping shut as he lets himself be enveloped by your arms, drowning in the comfort of your scent.
He doesnât want to know. Heâs scared to look at the clock and check.
âTonight was supposed to be about you,â Dazai finally complains, burying his face in your chest as he pouts.
You only let out a soft laugh above him. âWe have the rest of our lives for that⊠You deserved a break, Osamu.â
The rest of our lives.
Dazaiâs throat tightens, vision blurring a bit at the thoughtâhe can only barely bring himself to respond, and the words that slip out are not what he means to say: âI never thought Iâd get to be with you like this again,â he admits, voice hoarse. âI never thought-â
âI know,â you interrupt, voice quiet, a bit shaky. â... I know.â
Of course, you know.
He canât bring himself to say anything else, so he doesnât, sinking into your arms and allowing himself the comfort heâs deprived himself of for so long. He almost starts to drift offâand god, he canât remember the last time heâs dozed off willingly, only able to sleep after drinking copious amounts of alcohol or taking an even more copious number of sleeping pills. Itâs not until you speak again does he stir back awake from the brink of sleep.
âWhat did he ask of you? Oda, I mean,â you finally ask, fingers brushing through his dark hair, lulling him further to sleep.
Dazai thinks that youâre cruel, asking him while his mind is still fogged from the exhaustion following his high, and heâs still half asleep in your arms, trying to regain his bearings. The words slip out before he can think twice, forgetting his fear of you laughing at the idea of him trying to be a better man.
âHe asked me to be on the side that saves people⊠if both are the same to me, he wanted me to be a good man.â
The words dawn on him too late; he can hardly bring himself to look up at you, scared that heâs going to find an amused expression on your face or a derisive sneer. He wouldnât blame you, heâs thought the same about himself ever since he left the Port Mafia, doubt and self-loathing riddling him with every step he takes in the light. He waits for the scoff, he waits for the laugh, he waits for-
â... I think he would be proud of who youâve become, Osamu. I think youâve fulfilled his request.â
Dazai does look up at you now, feeling particularly vulnerable, still scared that he might find a mocking expression on your face but he doesnât. Only an uncharacteristically soft expression is painted on your face as you look up at the ceiling, a genuine oneâa small smile and a look in your eyes that makes his heart feel warm. You donât notice him looking until he lets slip out:
âIâve missed you so much,â he whispers.Â
(I love you, he means)
âIâve missed you too,â you say back quietly.
(I love you too)

Help- bakugo w a gf whoâs always cold
Itâs the middle of winter and theyâre chilling at the dorms, heâs making her tea and she jus sneaks up behind him and shoves her hands up his shirt and he screams like a girl
đ€·ââïžđ€·ââïž
tell me why . . your hands are cold !
katsuki is way better than the heater
a/n.: LMFAOOO this is so cute..and way overdue omg, im so sorry this took so long anon ! i hope you're still hanging around and hope you enjoy ! also as someone who's hands are also legit always freezing (ppl w reynauds say hey) this is for me lol
cw.: no pronouns mentioned here im pretty sure !, fluff n stuff :3 katsuki threatens our life like once or twice but psshhh it doesnt mattuuur..lemme know if i missed sum else !
katsuki lets out a high pitched gasp before his next words come out "HOLY FUCK."
he slams his hands onto the counter in surprise, the spoon he'd used to pour some honey in your mug clatters and drop on the counter. his eyes drift down from your hands under his shirt, to looking back at you with a glare that could terrify any villain. yet you send him a mischievous little smile over his shoulder.
he grips your hands and quickly yanks them off his skin "what. the fuck. are doing." his eye twitched as he growled out his words calmly, but calm in a scary way that definitely does not match with your boyfriend's attitude.
"i was just trying to warm up, it's so cold in here." you whine playfully, katsuki squints at you the more you speak. the grip on your hands tighten as you try to press your cold hands to his skin again.
"so just- turn the fuckin' heater up." he grunts.
"but i want you, suki. you're way warmer." you tease using your sweetest voice. katsuki's nose turns up.
"stop bothering me. m'not gonna get anything done and then you'll blame me when you freeze to death. goin' out of my way to do somethin' nice for you, and this is how you thank me." he chastised, feeling your hands creeping around he quickly shoo's them away with a "cut it out. " ignoring your complaints.
"but, katsukiii. your squeal was so cute."
"fuck off and die. i didn't squeal." he scoffs.
"but you did."
"but i didn't." he pulls your arms closer, spinning around so you can see his pissed of expression, the grip on your hand tightens. "quit clinging to me."
you pout, dropping your chin against his chest to look up at him. his eyebrows furrow "but i like being close to you like this, you're so warm.. it's comfy."
"you and this weird shit you keep saying.." he mutters to himself, but you can see the slight blush on his face. "i'm busy. making tea. for you." he reiterates.
your eyebrows furrow "too busy to hang out with me ?"
"way too busy." he smirks. of course, he only gets happy when he's the one messing with you.
"jerk." you huff. katsuki snorts, pulling your arms harder he bring his hands over yours. he almost jumps at the contact "shit--you're freezing."
"i told you it's cold in here !"
he brings your hands up to his face as if to inspect them "nah, think this is just a you problem." he insists. you laugh, then tilt your head "so, you gonna help me out or not ?" you blink sweetly, giving him your best puppy dog eyes. he groans, swiftly turning back around and you think he's ignoring you now, but he's still got your hands in his grip. then he brings them to his skin, you hum at the feeling while he immediately hisses. "fuck.." you hear him say through his teeth.
"this is the best." you sigh, pressing your cheek to his back. your boyfriend lets out an exasperated sigh. "glad you're enjoyin' it." he bites sarcastically, you giggle against his shirt.
a kiss to his back "thank you, suki. you're the best." katsuki doesn't respond, and you're fine with that. listening to his soft breaths and the sound of the water boiling in the kettle. you hear him turn it off, slowly pouring the hot water in. you feel your hands warm up, and his shoulders untense at the feeling. he really is better than a heater.
"tell me somethin' i don't know, the shit i do for your ass.." he grumbles. you hear the swirling sound of the spoon against the ceramic of the mug, it clings and rings slightly in your ears. katsuki grabs it and turns around to hand it to you, scowl still very present on his features.
"here. warm up." he orders. the moment you make contact your entire body feels warmer. you sigh warmly, sitting down on one of the chairs in the kitchen. he leans against the counter, watching you blow away the steam before taking tiny sips of your drink.
"thank you, katsu.." you exhale in relief. "yeah, yeah.." he mutters, following suit and sitting down in his chair. no more words are exchanged as you quietly sip on your tea. âfeel better ?â katsuki adds after a moment, you nod happily, gulping down your drink. he reaches for your hand when you place your mug down, squeezing to check for himself. âgood. yer fuckin' hands were colder than icy hot's and thatâs part of his whole damn quirk.â
"and what're you holding todoroki's hand for, you're not cheating on me with him are you ? â you snort, he cranes his neck to look at you incredulously "i'll actually fucking kill you." you throw your head back and laugh. you miss your boyfriend's lips slowly twitching into a smile. he squeezes your hand in joking reprimand.
"i still prefer you, though. waaay better than the heater." you add cheekily, running your thumb over his skin, you like how the small action makes goosebumps rise against his skin.
"yeah ?" you nod intensely and your boyfriend scoffs. "..dumbass." he mutters, turning away and placing his hand over his mouth. " hey !" you exclaim, katsuki lets out a snort behind his hand. but he squeezes your hand even tighter, and you feel even warmer.

A/N: i'm getting caught up on my asks finally 𫶠so sorry for the weird inactivity i love u all! also this isn't proofread sorry ill prob edit it later lol!
"For fucks sake" you threw your door open in frustration, storming down the hall to Shigaraki's room. You took a deep breath, preparing yourself for the worst. You didn't really want to ask him of all people, but you were desperate and flustered now.
You knock gently, and before hearing him respond, you turn the handle.
"Hey, Shigaraki, have you seen my-" You open the door of Tomura's room prematurely, the light knocking not alerting him fast enough as he scrambles to yank his covers over him.
"SHIT, fucking, GET THE FUCK OUT," the man's voice heightens in pitch with every word, straining to speak. He's gripping his blanket with four white knuckles, ring finger held above the blue fabric. His hands shake and beads of sweat are flattening his fringe to his forehead, and his breathing even from the doorway looks erratic. It's no mistake, you walked in at the wrong time. Your jaw hangs open slightly at the image of him and begin backing up slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'll...well, while I'm here," you start with a sheepish smile, "have you seen my black sweater? The one with the..." Your fingers twiddle around as you describe the well-loved garment, and he groans.
"...No," he wipes his hair from his face, "Go ask the girls."
"Sorry. Yeah, I'll do that." You reach for the door handle with a curt nod, and turn to head out, when something catches your eye. On the floor, next to a pile of used towels and dirty laundry, you notice the familiar lace trim, a delicate pink bow...
You reach for the piece as Tomura shoots up on his bed, still covering himself. "What are you doing??" His voice is anxious, and as you come back up, you hang the fabric delicately between your fingers in front of him.
"Are these my fucking underwear?" With a fire hot enough to burn his room to the ground, you storm closer to him, standing over him now with fierce eyes, able to really take in the sight of him now. His eyes are heavier than usual, his back flexed and his arms tense against his chest as he plasters the sheet against his snowy skin. He looks up at you with a feverish glint, avoiding contact with the skimpy bottoms hanging in front of his face. He shakes his head, unable to speak.
The sheet leaves little to the imagination, as you look him up and down in his bed. You bite back your rage as you notice a strap peeking out from under one of his pillows, and you shove him back and lean over to yank it out from underneath. Your pink bralette, that you could've sworn you lost for good, was now in your hands, waving dangerously close to Tomura. With wide eyes, he gives the equivalent look to a dog who got caught with a slipper. Cowering was a new look for him. As you stare him down, you notice the sheet twitching, an unmistakable silent pleading. Your face, now mere inches above his, sends his heart sprinting out of his body.
If it weren't for your discovery, it would've been almost...charming, to see him like this. Lips pink and puffy, as if they'd been bitten raw, and the remarkable sheen of sweat and lust glazing his scarred face. A heavy breath, halfway to climax and halfway to anxiety attack. You couldn't tell if he was turned on or terrified at this point. Your mind preferred the latter, but somewhere deep inside, you liked the idea of the former.
There was also something already charming about his actions. Your clothes were scattered all around him, around his room. Part of you felt enthralled by the idea of your fearsome leader, your boss, the dangerous villain doing something as depraved and perverted as stealing your clothes. Especially after all of the shit you guys fought about, how many times he told you to fuck off and that he couldn't stand you. It was like an unwritten confession, and it made your heart flutter for a moment. You stood there, thinking about what he was doing to them exactly, with a frivolous process. It didn't take much for your mind to conclude the thought, knowing you just caught him doing precisely what you could have imagined with them. It felt almost elementary to catch him in the act of something so vulgar, and despite your scornful expression, you had to fight the instinctual curling of your lips.
"What else do you have of mine?" You kept your face flat, curiosity driving you further. He shrank down a moment before raising a shaky arm towards his door.
"Close that, please" his brows furrowed as you both looked toward the wide-open door, giving whoever walked by a full view of the situation. You padded towards it and slammed it closed, locking it behind you before re-approaching him with the same fervor as before. You toss the two garments at him and ask him again.
"What else did you steal from me?"
He swallowed and took a deep breath before raising his hand up in defeat, "I'm sorry". His eyes glossed over as he looked away, blinking rapidly. He lifted the pillow behind him and began removing things from the pile of things. Multiple pairs of underwear, two bras, three shirts, a pair of lounge shorts, and a few random socks. Your jaw dropped as he handed them to you, sniffling with embarrassment and disturbance. You shook your head slowly, partially in awe and disbelief. How did he even manage...and why? How long had he been doing it for? Your mind raced as you compiled everything at the edge of his bed. He sat there dejected as you counted everything.
"Fourteen. FOURTEEN things of mine. Just under your pillow. What, why?? Where else do you hide it all? Is this where all my clothes have gone?" Your voice rises in frustration and confusion as he falters.
He shakes his head and quavers, with the smallest voice you've ever heard from him.
"I don't know. I'm sorry". He shows remorse, no doubt. But the movement underneath the thin sheet doesn't help to convince you of his guilt. Some part of him likes the fact he was caught, surely. It's easy to see it, with the faint flush of his complexion.
You lean down more and lift his face with a finger on his chin, directing his eyes to meet yours. You don't say anything, which scares him more than anything. At any point, you could run out of his room, screaming about how he was a freak, or a coward, or a stalker. Even him, your notorious leader, was scared of being exposed so viscerally. You recognize this, his crimson eyes welling with shameful tears as you look into them.
You wanted to be so angry. You wanted to be disgusted, freaked out, and you wanted to hate him. You could let him being murderous slide, but being a loser? It boiled your blood. But you couldn't tear yourself away from his wet gaze, the tears falling heavily now as you gripped his chin between thumb and forefinger. He didn't pull away, either, he just accepted his loss. There were so many reasons why you should hate him.
But you don't, you realize, as you lean in and pull him into a hungry kiss. His lips are rough, but wet with tears as you press yours into them. Maybe it was pity, maybe it's because you know he's pent up and stressed out and most certainly a virgin. It's possible he just needs comfort. Perhaps you're encouraging him, and for all you know, maybe you like that.
You stop yourself from thinking and just let your body move. You push him back, taking his hands away from the iron grip on the sheets and lifting them above his head. He doesn't argue, and complacently loosens his body with a light whimper as you touch him. You climb onto his lap, still pinning his arms down as you snake your tongue into his mouth. He tastes so sweet, so addicting. It was unlike anything you could describe, like apple and spices and sweet mint. You cave in to him, allowing yourself to feel the rush of endorphins swell in your core. Your mind goes blank as you feel his length between your legs, twitching and jumping like an eager animal.
You finally pull away from the kiss, only to bite down his scarred neck and shoulder.
"You're a fucking thief" you say between bites, and he whimpers.
"I know" he shakes as you sink your teeth in. He groans out as you bite down harder at his response.
"You're a fucking freak" you spit. He nods, trembling.
"I'm sorry" he cries out as you sink your canines into him.
"You like that, hm? You like being a sick fuck?" you tighten your grip on his wrists.
His whimpers and moans drive you crazy. You fight the urge to take him all at once, even if it tortures you as well. Your lips curl sadistically as you lick his wounds, tongue grazing over not only the bites, but the torn skin of his neck from his incessant scratching. The faint taste of blood stings in your mouth, the metallic fragrance soaking your senses. You feel your core liquify as tears spill from his eyes, the thick lashes sticking together. He sobs, clenching his jaw.
"Please, I can't take it". His heavy breaths buckle in his chest, and you bring your free hand up to caress his face.
"You're so pretty like this, Tomura" your voice is slick with hunger, a newfound lust from hearing his pathetic noises. He blinks up at you in a daze, his pupils blown wide as you release your grip on his wrists.
"Please" he whispers, and you laugh.
"Please what? You seriously think you're getting rewarded? For being a fucking pervert?"
Tomura bites his lip and shakes his head.
"No, I'm sorry".
It was a sight to behold. Your fearsome leader, now crumbling beneath you, begging to be touched. Pleading for forgiveness, admitting fault with fat tears soaking his cheeks. Everything you swore he would never be capable of, he was doing. And it made you feel so powerful. It was well overdue- someone eventually would've put him in his place- you just never thought it'd be you to do it.
You retreat from his lap, standing swiftly. You watch his face fall a bit, then relight as you slide your top and bottoms off, leaving you standing nearly naked in front of him. His eyes soak in the image of you, his hands clenching. You reach for the sheet and yank it off of him, finally, to expose his naked body completely.
His cock stands proud, already leaking and throbbing as you grab it. He gasps, the air hitching in his chest as your thumb slides down the tip, admiring his length as you squeeze it gently.
"You're such a desperate little bitch," you start demeaning him further, fingers trailing to wrap around his balls. He mewls as you continue, "I always knew you were a pathetic loser".
His cock convulses as you speak, and you lose you patience. You take him in your mouth, pressing your tongue flatly against the thickness. You graze your teeth against the sensitive skin, and he hisses out a string of curses. You speed up, fingers still teasing him with lazy tugs. You reach underneath and press two fingers against the untouched skin, massaging it gently. The action causes him to clench his fists mindlessly against the sheets, and they immediately disintegrate into nothingness. He grumbles out a "Fuck", but is swiftly redirected back to the multitude of sensations below. You laugh, his thick cock still in your mouth, and he throws his head back. He begins mindlessly thrusting into your throat, causing you to choke a bit on the size of him. He spreads his legs open further as you massage the neglected spot, clearly enjoying the newly discovered sensitivity.
Before he can finish, and god is he dangerously close to doing so, you pull off of him. He groans and silently begs for more, but you shake your head and get back on top of him.
"You think I'm doing this for your enjoyment? You owe me, not the other way around." you spew out. "It's my turn, loser."
He doesn't have time to argue it as you slide your underwear off and bring yourself to his face. You speak, knowing his can't respond, enjoying his compliance. "Have you ever done this before? No? Hm..." You chuckle out sinfully as his mouth falls wide, dragging his tongue up your dripping cunt to your clit. "Do a good job, and maybe then I'll let you have more."
He's clearly inexperienced, the way his tongue explores your folds and curves, but he's starving regardless. He presses his tongue deeply into you, moaning at the taste as you grind against his mouth. He gains confidence as he grips your hips with a four-fingered grip, keeping his pinkies as far as anatomically possible from your soft skin. He kneads his slender fingers into the fat of your hips and ass, his nails digging in as his tongue picks up speed. After a minute or two adjusting, he's eating you like a dog, licking and sucking and nipping at everything he can, with a determination previously unseen. It feels unforgettable, the way his teeth graze your clit and his tongue licks at you like you're candy. The poor depraved man laying under you, finally graced with the taste of you he's only ever had in dreams. You tasted much better than the underwear he stole. It felt holy now, so dirty and urgent that it felt like prayer.
You can't avoid the hastily approaching orgasm as he flicks his tongue on the throbbing bundle of nerves. You grind down on his face, coating his mouth and chin with your heat as he sends you over the edge. You drive your hips down, nearly suffocating him, as you clench and shiver on his face. You can feel him panting and smiling and swallowing every drop of your climax thankfully, which sends you even further.
When you finally come crashing down, you pull off of him and slide back down his chest and position him right in front of your needy hole. But you can't give into him just yet. It's his punishment, not reward, to fuck you and please you and make you cum.
He looks positively elated, his pupils still swallowing his ruby irises and his hair tangled around his pretty face. He's smiling, with a tired breath, but he's nowhere near done. He's completely aware of his consequences.
"Good boy, Tomu" you praise him with a gentle kiss on the cheek, his face still soaked from you. He smiles a bit more, but is still silent as you continue, "I almost forgive you for being such a disgusting slut".
He nods and silently mouths out an "okay". You trail a finger up his jaw and press a kiss to it. But his response isn't enough for you. You want more, you want to press the subject deeper before allowing him to have something so sacred.
"Tell me, pretty freak; why did you steal my clothes?"
He takes a moment to bite his lip, looking away as he responds. "I like to".
Not good enough. "And?" you pry.
"It...feels good. To smell you. And taste you. It feels so good..." he bleats out pitifully, and you can't help but feel a little bit enamored at his answer.
"Yeah? Was it worth it?" You tilt your head slightly, loving his plaintive admissions.
He nods and smiles, "Definitely".
Tomura's slight defiance stirs something inside of you. At the end of the day, he always gets what he wants. And if he wanted to steal your clothes, soil them with a weeks worth of cum, he fucking would. He did. He wasn't an entirely too demanding person, but he was, at his core, determined to have everything he wants. Including you, in every way he can.
You can't wait any longer as you take his length inside of you. You gasp out a bit at the size, feeling it stretch your walls with a burning sensation. He immediately moans out, unable to even slightly quiet down as he feels how wet you are around him.
"You're so fucking tight," he cries, and you clench around him, causing him to spasm a bit. His eyes roll back and he begins thrusting into you from below, the friction driving you crazy. "You feel just like I imagined" he confesses, words heavy with desire.
You grind into him as he thrusts, both rutting against each other fervidly. The tuft of baby blue hair drags a bit against your clit and you can't help as his name spills from your lips like honey.
"Fuck, Tomura, you're so big" you lewdly cry out as he grips you again. His cock slams against your cervix, sliding in and out of your entrance rapidly. His moans and whimpers become intangible, a never-ending slew of crude noises just leaking from his pretty pink lips. You nearly forget being angry, you throw your inhibitions to the side, because it feels far too good to not focus on entirely. The way he whines and keens melts you like the sun.
You both get closer with each frantic thrust. Months of pining and pretending to hate each other paid off well enough, because the feeling of his cock inside of you, plowing you filthily, locked in the satisfaction of meeting him in the first place.
"And I thought you hated my guts" you moan out as he slams into you, folding a bit. He wraps his arms around you and you tuck your head into his neck as he takes complete control from beneath.
"No, I just, fuck, couldn't stand not having this" he breathes out, his hold on you intensifying. "I want you".
His speed shakes your mind, leaving you fuzzy as you reach your final breaking point. He's close behind, his thrusts becoming less coordinated as he moans out your name like a broken record.
"Tomura, I-"
He cuts you off with a whine, "Please, let me cum inside of you". You completely shatter around him, the heat inside of you finally snapping in half as you grind into him mindlessly, the sensation of your orgasm tearing through you like a full moon's tide. You cry and gasp out into his ear, and he decides he can't wait anymore. He spills into you with a howl, twitching and sputtering as he finally fills you up. The pearly strings coat your sore insides, gumming you up. He sinks his teeth down into your neck as he ruts into you, pumping his seed deeper inside as he rides out his orgasm. You feel the suffocating wave of euphoria wash over you, unable to form a coherent thought as he pulls out slowly.
He lolls his head back and keeps you wrapped in his arms, unwilling to release you.
"I'm sorry" he finally speaks. The silence in the room dissipates with his raspy voice, and you nod.
"Do you at least wash them when you're done?" You ask, and he nods back.
"I return them when you aren't there.." he admits.
"Okay" you don't have the energy or even the space inside of you to actually be mad. If anything, you were more upset before cause for the most part, you were missing a lot of your favorite pairs of underwear, and you thought you were losing your mind.
"I promise I'll stop" he whispers into your hair, "I'm sorry".
You shake your head against his chest. "Don't. It gives me an excuse to come back in here and do this again".
His heartbeat speeds a bit as he processes your words. A part of him wants to tell you you don't need an excuse. But the other part of him wants you to keep catching him. The chase, the raw desire, he'd been playing the long game, and you fell right for it. His silly little game he'd been playing worked out perfectly in his favor, and he relished in that fact.
He doesn't respond. You close your eyes on his chest, and he pulls up the other blanket that was unscathed from his torrential grip. He smiles to himself as you slowly fall asleep on him, your breathing slowing. Lying there with you, he finally felt content and full for once, and that scared him. But he laid there still, soaking in the feeling of completing his goal.
But he no longer wanted to play this game. He wanted to win it.

connie x nailtech! fem reader
you were laying in your bed silently as rain tapped on your windows. serene and silent⊠until your phone started ringing you let it until it went silent. you sighed hugging your pillow tighter.
until your phone started ringing again, with a frustrated sigh you picked up your phone.âhello?â you said with a scratchy voice. âwhy you not answering the phone?â âbecause im sleeping? something you should also be doing instead of waking me up at-â you look at your screen reading 3 am â 3 am in the morningâ
he sucks his teeth âdidnt mean to wake you but drop the attitudeâ âagain its 3 am im just tired, sorryâ you sigh laying down.â âmmm all good i was the one that woke you up, im sorryâ
âso why did you call?â you say yawning. âwell i couldnât sleep and i thought youâd be upâ you hear him sigh loudly. â fine come overâ before you could say anything else you heard your front door being unlocked.
you hang up as you hear his steps near your door. âhey maâ âhey conâ you watch as he takes off his sweater and puts his keys down climbing into bed next to you. âhow was your day?â you ask as he burrows into the crook of your neck, wrapping his arms around you placing his hands at the small of your back.
âboring, i missed you. so does prince, why dont you just come live with us?â you hear the pout in his hushed voice. â connie we have discussed this before, we are still early in our relationship and we both need our own spaces. i can sleep over tomorrow night if youâd like?â
âyes pleaseâ he says in a baby voice. you laugh at him. â how was your day ma?â you take a deep breath â i did 5 clients and 12 sets of press ons, really busyâ he peppers kisses all over your neck âproud of youâ you hum in acknowledgment as you both drift off to sleep.
âââââ

âA VERY HAPPY ENDINGâ ( l. felix )
p. masseuse!felix x fem!reader w. 2.3k
warnings? fingering, boob play, oral ( f. receiving ), uprotected sex, cum eating
â đŠč ( you're in need of a break and to relax, so your friend makes you a well needed reservation at a massage parlor ) !
authors note. i suddenly remember when felix would go around and give people massages and i came up with this, so enjoy đ.
âJesus yn, what the hell happened in here?â your roommate entered your room. âitâs like a tornado hit your room; did this, left â spun the block and hit it again.â She said, stepping over the pile of clothes on the floor to your bed. âim sorry I didnât have enough time this week to clean, too busy at work.â
âlooks like you didnât have the time to do your hair and anything else, you look like a hobo.â You clicked away at your keyboard, rolling your eyes. âdid you come in here to insult me?â you questioned. âcause that couldâve been a text.â
âI came in here to tell you that you need to take a break, youâre working yourself to death.â She voiced her concerns. âim fine.â You said. âbaby no you not and thatâs okay, we can fix that cause you canât keep living like this.â She was right, â your job had recently had layoffs and you and the rest of the people that were spared were worked to the bone to replace the missing people; which meant more work and long hours, so you didnât have much time to do anything.
âliving like what?â you turned in your chair. âbabe when was the last time you had any me time?â you shrugged. âmaybe about a month ago, I think.â She sighed. âexactly you need to relax, thatâs why as your roommate and the bestest friend in the world, I took the liberty of scheduling us both for a massage at my favorite masseuse parlor this weekend.â
âI donât have time this weekend thereâs aâ nope I donât want to hear it.â She covered her ears. âyouâre gonna put the laptop down this weekend and go out and have some relaxation time.â She said. âeven if I have to drag you out myself.â
You sighed, knowing your friends wouldnât back down unless you agreed. âfine weâll go.â She clapped, standing up. âgreat!â she chipped. âits gonna be great, I swear youâll feel like a new woman after this.â She said hugging you; before making her way to the door, looking around the room once more. âand maybe then youâll come to your senses and clean this pigsty.â She scrunched her nose up in disgust before leaving out.
The next few days were busy and finally Friday rolled around and the weekend was finally here. That evening you got home and your friend was already going at your room claiming âwe need to get this together before we become new women.â You sighed, dropping your bag; changing your clothes before you also jumped in and you tackled the crazy that was your room; you both finished; covered in sweat from the deep clean. âgirl you better be paying me fore that.â Your friend huffed. âI worked like a damn dog.â
âthank you.â You said, ready to take a shower and hop into bed. âno problems girl.â Your friend hopped up. ânow get some sleep cause our girls day starts at 10:30 am sharp.â She skipped out her room. âand make sure to tidy up down there.â She pointed to your below area. âwhy do I need to do that?â you crossed your legs. âjust listen to me, and do it goodnight.â
âis it noticeable.â You said looking down; had it been a long time? âno.â you scoffed getting your pajamas ready. âshes crazy.â You said, thinking for a minute. âwell it couldnât hurt anyone.â You grabbed a new razor from your nightstand before making your way into the bathroom.
The next day you a woken feeling a little bit more refreshed than usual; sleeping in a little later than normal and in a clean room really was nice. You woke up, getting ready for the day with your roommate.
You spent the whole morning and early afternoon out with your roommate; getting your hair and nails done, shopping for new clothes and other things for the apartment. It was almost time for you both to head over to the massage place; so you stopped for lunch then headed right over.
âweâre here.â She pulled into the parking lot. âit even looks fancy outside.â You stepped out of the car. âI booked our appointments for a least busy time so it should be empty so we wonât have to wait long.â You both walked into the place, standing at the front desk. âhello?â you friend tapped the bells and a boy came scurrying out.
âhello, welcome to our day spa, do you both have a appointment?â he said. âyes we do its under (f/l/n).â he typed down on the computer, your friend turned to you mouthing âheâs cuteâ to which you shook your head at her antics.
âoh here it is.â He laughed after struggling to find it. âwhich one of you is scheduled for felix and which one of you is scheduled for changbin?â you turned to your friend. âdoes it matter?â she nodded. âchangbin is much muscular and he hits all the right places â you furrowed your eye brows. âyou seem to know a lot about this place.â
âif I may?â the man in front of you said. âfelix is very good too, heâs the most popular here, everyone always asks for him.â You nod, well if heâs good thatâs all that matters, anyway a massage is a massage. âokay.â
He guided you both to two different rooms. âyou can go in there and you there, they both should be here soon so you can get undressed and wait.â He walked away. âundressed?â you turned to your friend. âyeah you have to fully be undressed.â She said. âis that why you told me to shave?â she winked, walking into her room shutting the door. âcrazy.â You walked into your room closing the door.
You stripped down to your underwear, taking the towel, wrapping it around your waist, pulling your panties down your leg, sitting them down on your pile of clothes â just as the door opened, making you jump, covering your chest. âoh im sorry I thought youâd be laying down already.â He said. âits okay.â You said. âI was just finishing up.â
âwell you can lay down now and we can start.â He dimmed the lights. âI can light candles if you want.â You smiled, nodding. âthank you.â You laid down, your boobs hitting the cold leather, making you hiss at the sensation. âyou okay?â felix finished lightning the last candle. ây-yes im fine.â You felt your face heat up that he heard that noise. âokay we can get started now.â
You rested your head on your arms; you felt a warm liquid hit your back, making you flinch. âis it too hot?â you shook your head. âjust shocked me a little.â You heard him chuckle. âdonât be scared, its just eucalyptus and peppermint oil.â He explained, you felt him rubbing it along your back, you sighed at his touch. âit helps with inflammation and pain.â
The boy in the front was right; he was a godsend with his hands, itâs like he knew you like the back of his hand, hitting all the right places, your body slowly began to relax. âyou seem so tense, do you work a lot?â he asked. You hummed. âits not good to work like that, too much stress can cause a lot of knots and that causes pain.â He pressed down on one spot that made your eyes shoot open; a low whimper coming out of your mouth.
âoh , im sorry.â You cursed at yourself, embarrassed at how it just slipped out. âthatâs good, it means Iâm doing a good job.â He said. âdonât be embarrassed.â He said in a low soft tone, his deep voice sending a wave of arousal in your gut. âlet out all the noises you want.â
His hands moved to your side, rubbing them gently; making his way up to the side of your boobs. âis this okay?â you hummed, pretty sure at this point youâd let him do whatever he wanted as long as he kept talking to you like that.
His hands rubbed the sides of your bust gently, you bit your lip to contain any noises that tried to force their way out. âyou donât have to hide them.â He said. âI want to hear them.â You couldnât for the life of you wrap your head around why this stranger has such an effect on you; but you didnât stop the next noise that came out of your mouth. âfu-fuck.â
He worked down your back, right above your ass, where the towel covered, pressing down. âits seems really tense here.â He pressed down harder, you whimpered. He worked down to your legs, pushing the towel to sit right above your thighs. He poured some more warm oil on your legs, rubbing your calves, making his way up to your thighs â dangerously close to your bare bottom.
Felix never wouldâve done this with another client; he wouldâve stopped right at your back â but he couldnât help it, you were making so much noise and he had to admit; it was turning him on, a lot â and he wanted to see how far he could go.
His hands were entering dangerous territory as he rubbed the in of your thighs, you could feel the heat of his fingers on your cunt, he could easily touch it if he wanted â and you really wanted him to.
Itâs like he read your mind cause his next words made your heart race. âif you want me to touch you, you have to say something.â He said. âI wont do anything you donât want me to.â He said. âi-I want you to.â You said breathlessly. âthen turn around.â
You turned on your back, his hands work all the back up to your boobs, gently cupping them; you let out a soft moan. âlet me hear you.â He pinched your bud, your back arched up; giving him the leeway to undo the towel, your bare cunt for him to see â thank god you shaved. âso pretty.â His hands travel down to your pussy, lightly touching it. âpl-please.â
âyou want me to touch you?â you nodding. âye-yes.â He smiled, his hand spreading your legs; fingers grazing your clit. âgood you used your words.â He rubbed your clit, spreading your folds. âsuch a pretty cunt.â He whispered. âso soft.â He pushed a finger inside of you. âso wet.â He moved his fingers in and out of you, curling the to hit that gummy spot inside of you. âyou gonna cum, I can feel you clenching.â He used the pad of his thumb to rub your clit. âyou can cum.â
And just like that you were on his finger, moaning out loud. âso loud.â he sat on the massage table in front of your breathless naked body. âI want to hear more.â He kissed your neck, climbing on top of your body to leave little kisses down the valley of your breath, taking a nipple into his mouth as he sat on his knees in between your legs, his hard cock evident as he pressed it against your cunt.
âsh-shit.â You moaned as he grinding his hips against you, sucking on your nipples. âpl-please fuck me.â That was all he needed, before he undid his pants freeing his hard cock. âyou sure you want to do this?â he said. âim a stranger and â I want this, please.â You needed this, you needed him to fuck you. âplease fuck me.â
He pressed his tip against your cunt, pushing himself inside of you. âoh fuck youâre so tight.â He slowly worked himself in and out of you. âyou need to relax, youâre so tense I can barely -fuck- I can barely move inside of you.â You whined as he used the pad of his thumb to rub your bud. âthatâs it.â He sighed. âopen up for me.â
He moved his hips fluidity, his cock hitting all the spots your vibrator just didnât. âfe-felix.â His name flowing right out of your mouth as he worked his way in and out of you. âfe-feels so good.â He moved faster, you felt your orgasm approaching. âim gonna cum.â Your voice was shaky as your clenched tightly around him.
âfuck me too.â He grunted, he moving faster. âfelix im cumming.â You gasped, the knot in your stomach snapping as you came. âshit youâre too tight.â He moaned, his orgasm approaching quickly. âshit.â He pulled out as fast as he could, cumming all over your cunt. âfuck.â
âone more.â He said, his face near your cunt. âI want to give you one more.â He licked your folds, the taste of your cunt and his cum on his tongue was dizzying. âfu-fuck.â You were feeling overstimulated at the point, but you still felt your third orgasm approaching fast. âoh fuck.â You gasped. âfuck im gonna cum!â thinking he was gonna move away, but he didnât he stayed there drinking up all you have to offer. âfe-felix.â You had to push his head away to keep him from going on.
He pulled away, wiping his mouth; your body was fully relaxed by now; the service time was probably long over. âshit my boss is gonna kill me.â He quickly redressed himself, helping you get dressed. âthat sounded harsh, I really liked it.â He said, you laughed, pulling your shirt down. âI understand, my friend has probably called me a thousand times.â You pulled out your phone, and believe it or not there were no phone calls from her, but two text messages.
(friends name)đ©·| I told you youâd like himâŠ
(friends name)đ©·| have fun girl, Iâll wait in the carđ
Your face burned with embarrassment. âI would like to see you again.â He said. âme-me?â he nodded. âyes, if thatâs okay.â You nodded. âI would love to see you again.â He smiled, as you gave him your number. âlets see each other soon.â He nodded. âis the weekend coming up okay?â he wanted to see you as soon as he could â he needed to. âWe can get dinner and maybe see a movie.â He moved closer to you, caging you against the bed a smirk on his face.
âand I can give you a even better happy ending than today, only if youâre good though.â

okok i'm here for a request
wonwoo as your coworker who you've been having an office romance with - which you have been taking as a joke. everyone thinks you'll get together, and you play along with that. but wonwoo is very serious.
so late night booty call from coworker!wonwoo? or maybe drunk dial to wonwoo and the aftermath the next day (fucking in the office)
Pairing: wonwoo x afab!reader
Genre:Â smut
Word count:Â 3.9k
tags: office au, feturin bartender!chan and coworker!mingyu, mentions of alcohol, exhibitionism, manhandling, unprotected sex, creampie, pet name
author note: hi bee ily bee, you're messed up for this bee. but im worse for producing it gdjgwkjg. anyways enjoy wonu rot
Tag: @shiningstar-byulxx @misssugarlips @tommolex @hoeforhao @homerunhansol @dkakapizzaboy @junhui-recs @svtup @buffhoshi @meowmeowminnie @caratochan @lovebot4han @6969lilithcat @wonuhour @camisun93 @emmmui @toruro
Wonwoo is a handsome guy and it was clear as day to everyone in the office. You like having a bit of his attention. Heâs funny and quite friendly with you, but that is perhaps because the first time you met you had the courage to fight with him over the last jam-filled donut in the break room. Since then, thereâs never not been a reason to talk as if youâve known each other forever.
You admit some of the socializing youâve been having with Wonwoo is more than what you do with any other coworker, let alone friend, but you were just playing along and it was too late to go back. Besides, both of you know what this is. All this talk was simply harmless flirting, playful jokes, and lively banter. You make it clear at the end of it all that there is nothing between you and Wonwoo, that things are as platonic as two subordinates can get.
You canât say the rest of the office believes that though, seeing as so many of them with jealous glares in your direction or the nudges from the suspecting coworkers that âlowkey shipâ you two together as if you were some characters in television.Â
âUgh, you two make me sick. Just get together and have beautiful children already.â
You and Wonwoo shared a harmonious chuckle together, one louder in humor and it wasnât the man dashing in a silk silver necktie.
âI wish I could, but they like to sleep on the left side even though I also sleep on the left side and I don't know how that would work,â Wonwoo knocks against your shoulder
âNot to mention he likes cats way more than dogs and the fact that we could never really be together because weâre just good coworkers.â
âRight,â he lightly punches, indicating agreement. âItâd be a really bad idea if we were actually together.â
You raise your brows, almost offended. âWoah, woah. I never said it was really bad.â
âBut you were thinking about it.â
âLover quarrel I hear?â Mingyu butts in after getting his morning joe. âTheyâre always at it at this time of day.â
You roll your eyes at the giant. âAll Iâm saying is. I and Wonwoo are good together at work. Just work. Dare I say heâs a good work husband, even if he steals the last of the pastriesââ
âWill you ever let that goââ
âNoâand thatâs all there is everyone. Sorry to disappoint.â
The crowd gives their share of snide smirks before dispersing. Mingyu is the last to stay behind, a Cheshire smile on his face. âSure, you two. Just keep your hands to yourself around hereâŠif you can help it.â
You were about to throw a light kick at the man before he started scurrying off, leaving you and Wonwoo in your lonesome as always.Â
âThey mean no harm by the way,â Wonwoo points out, âbut if it bothers you that much, I can tell them to lay off.â
âNu-uh,â you reply, shaking your head, âand make me look like a buzzkill? I donât mind the back and forth. Just donât anyone get the wrong idea that our jokes are actually serious?â
âYeah, because itâd be just awful to be caught dating someone like me.â
You groan at his choice of words. âThat is not what I said. Stop putting words in my mouth. This is why we wouldnât work together.â
Wonwoo shrugs, a smile on his face that truly does brighten up a whole room. God, no wonder people think youâre dating him. What single man smiles like that? âAlright, sweet face. Fine. Who cares what they think? We know left from right, okay?â Thereâs a hint in his tone that says otherwise but you decide to ignore it.
âOkay, good. Anyways, what are your plans tonight? Up for another night of Valo queue?â
âI actually have plans tonight.â
âOh?â You say wiggling your eyebrows. âHot date?â
âMaybe? Havenât met them yet.â
Youâre playful expression fades. âOh, actually? Wow. You must beâŠexcited.â
He shrugs, freshening up his mug. âItâs nice to have plans outside of binge-watching TV at home, so a little bit.â
Your smile canât seem to reach your ears until youâve found a way to find the humor out of it. âThat sounds nice. I wanna be set upâWonwoo donât you have any hot friends?â
Wonwoo feigns thought, clicking his tongue, now noticing the watch on his wrist. âWell, would you look at the time? Back to work.â
You sneer at him leaving you unanswered, following after him to continue the rest of your day. This is how most days went. Outside of work, you shared your personal interests with him, such as video gamesâperhaps adding to the assumption that you both seem very couple forwardâbut otherwise, that was all. There was nothing else that made you more than people who work in close proximity together, and not by your own fault either.
Despite this dynamic, Wonwoo is a private person and you only know what he lets you know. Perhaps, thatâs why you are so dead set on keeping the formality the way it is. Who knows the type of person he is behind doors?
You try not to be curious about him for the sake of your circumstance, but the thought of Wonwoo and his date stays in the back of your mind, pestering you like an insect well into the afternoon until after work. Thatâs when you decide to hit up the local bar, grab a drinkâor 5âand catch up with your favorite bartender, Chan, to see what heâs up to. Heâs normally a good distraction, seeing as he can talk circles around any subject while jumping from one to the other, and you think it starts to make you forget why ever you came in the first place.
However, âdrunk youâ does whatever the fuck they want, even if âsober youâ says otherwise. You seem to forget that every time you go out, perhaps because you think youâve overcome that part of you after a while of not drinking. Truth was you havenât.
âHelloooâŠâ
The dial tone plays on the other end and you continue your incessant greeting until youâre met with a familiar and confused sound. You automatically grin, clutching the device close to your ear in hopes of hearing his voice again.
âWonwooâŠare you and you having funâŠâ
You hear shuffling in the background, unaware it was Wonwoo checking caller ID to make sure it was you. âAre you doing okay?â
âMe? Iâm greatâŠhow are you bud? Buddy? Companion? Bestie?â
âOkay. Where are you right now?â
You chortle, glancing back at Chan who is preoccupied with other customers but watching you from the corner of his eye concerned. âHehe, Iâm with a friend. A very handsome friendâŠâ
Chan lets out a light chuckle before finishing up the drink and handing it to the person waiting. He strolls out to you, listening in on the rest of your call as he pretends to clean up glasses.
âHandsome friend?â Wonwoo repeats.
âVery handsome.â
You arenât sure whatâs going on with you, but you feel the urge to simply narrate everything around you, making sure the man on the other line hears every word.Â
âIs there a reason youâre calling me, Y/n?â
You hum against the phone in pondering. âJustâŠbecause. Itâs you.â
âMe?â
âYou.â
Chan lightly scoffs at the scene, almost seeing the pink in your eyes as you speak to whoever is on the other end and politely asks for your phone. You pout at him, denying him the device, but with a stern look, you melt into mush and soon obliged.
âHi, you must be Y/nâs friend right? Theyâre at the Carat Club right now and it looks like theyâve had enough to drink.â
Wonwoo hums into the phone before responding back cautiously. âAre you the handsome friend?â
Chan grins hearing the hint of jealousy. âWhy yes, I am.â
âYou donât sound that handsome.â
âWell, you can judge for yourself because Iâm also the bartender here. If you arenât too busy, Iâd really appreciate you getting them home. Iâll keep an eye on them but I can only do that for so long with the rush weâre having.â
Thereâs a moment of silence on the phone that makes the young bartender think the calls have dropped until the gravelly voice on the other end begrudgingly agrees, quickly hanging up right after.Â
Chan sets the phone back to your side, doing what heâs promised to do. After some time, he recognizes Wonwoo right away by his frantic arrival and the bartender waves him over. Wonwoo scans your current state with a frown creasing his eyes. He tries shaking your sides, and see how little effect it makes.
âHow much have they had to drink?â
âA couple of cocktails but by how early theyâve gotten here I assume they havenât eaten. Best to take them home before it goes right through them.â
âThanks,â Wonwoo, picks you up by your limp arms and supports your side in the direction of the door. When heâs out of sight, he quietly curses to himself about the accuracy of the bartenderâs appearance before settling you in his passenger seat.
His goal is to get you rested and safe. Seeing as your driver's license is doctored from the city several hours from where they are, he assumes it is in need of an update, and tries to pry your address out of you. To no avail, nothing useful comes out from your drunk slurred lips and he ends up taking you to his home, dumping you on his bed, and tucking you in.Â
You donât remember anything after the third drink: making that call to Wonwoo, or the debacle of trying to get you home, or his persistence in climbing up the flight of stairs in his own home with the extra body weight. You can only assume the worst when you wake up the following day in a foreign bedroom; your internal alarm was clock accurate as always. You jump from the sheets in pure fear, scanning your surroundings for an owner, when you realize you still have the clothes you wore to work the day before.
Promptly, Wonwoo walks towards the bedroom you occupy from the wide open door and greet you, a smile on his face. âGood, youâre up. Work is in an hour, Iâll get you there.â âWonwoo, where am I?â
âMy place. I wouldâve taken you home if you had been more cooperative.â
It takes your eyes some adjusting but you soon realize the lack of clothing on his body, warranting the smooth, broad, and muscular appearance of a Jeon Wonwoo you wouldnât dare dream of. You gulp at the sight taking it in before hearing him chuckle as he crosses his arms to obscure the view, forcing your eyes on his face that was bare of the thick pair of metal frames you are used to. Instead, you see his eyes, overflowing with warmth you worry youâd stumble upon seeing them. âExtra bathroom at the other end of the hall. I can lend you a shirt.â
âT-thanks.â You say before he disappears in order to get ready for another day.
You quickly finish what needed to be done, taking advantage of the oversized shirt Wonwoo left you behind and somehow making it work. Soon enough youâre off to the office, in his passenger, only time sober and a lot more self-conscious.
âDid I do or say anything weird?â
He lets out a deep, familiar chuckle. âDepends. Whatâs your definition of weird?â
You try thinking of an answer but none would come up, having you change your mind about getting his prompt response.
âIf itâs any consolation, you didnât get sick like I thought you would, and you were mostly asleep.â
âThat just means I was a mess,â You whine.
âPerhaps, but nothing I couldnât handle.â
âWait, what about your date? Donât tell me youââ
âShe canceled and I had nothing going on. You called at a good time.â
âI called you?â You question him in bemusement.
âLike I said, nothing I couldnât handle.â
His repeating that phrase does something the chemical in your brain, retracing the dents of his torso as if theyâre right in front you, glistening against the sun rays peaking out of the windows. The smile on his face makes your heart pound a little harder than youâre used to, and now youâre noticing the veins on his hands as he grips the wheel.
You feel yourself swallow. Hand to heart, you pat down as if trying to manually regulate it, but ultimately fail as Wonwoo continues to speak. This must be the embarrassment talking.
âFor a second, I thought you called me to confess your undying love for me or something.â
âWhat?â You ask laughing a little too hard, for once grasping the humor in the situation with difficulty. âWhy would you think that?âÂ
âFor one, you were drunk. It seemed likely.â He clears his throat, trying to focus on the road. âAnd maybe thatâs what I wanted to hear.â
Those words settle into you like hot cement, frustratingly slow, and before you finally answer, youâre already back at work, following Wonwoo as you leave the car. When both obviously arrive together, the usual attention has multiplied by tenfold, and the treatment feels different than normal. More flustering a suffocating after the night youâve had. Wonwoo is the only one to notice as he calmly escorts you to your cubicles, leaving the questions of your coworkers unanswered.
You aren't sure why theyâre comments are getting you like this now, making you feel hot, hands clasped against your cheeks like a bashful child, but it bothers you throughout the day, forcing you to keep mostly to yourself. Its then Wonwoo, sends you a note, meeting him for lunch alone knowingly while everyone else planned a meal out. You hesitantly oblige to his request and when the time came around, itâs unexpectantly timid, awkward, and nerve-wracking. Thatâs not how monets with Wonwoo are supposed to go.
âYouâve been quiet.â
You bow you head. âSorry.â
âWhy are you being sorry?â
âI didnât think I was bothering anyone.â
You donât see it, but he rolls his eyes.âWell, you were bothering me. Talk to me, joke around with me, be mean to me I donât know. The silence is annoying me.â
â...Iâm sorry.â
âApologizing again? Look at me.â
It was difficult given the predicament youâre in, but he forces you to anyways by lifting up your chin between his fingers. You watch a dark storm brew in his eyes and now you canât bare to tear away.
âAre you going to tell me whatâs wrong now?â
You donât get it. For the past year, youâve known him, there's only ever been amicable looks or gregarious smiles at a maximum, but in the deep pit of your stomach bubbles a new sensation that has finally festered enough to rise to the surface. You clench your legs in instinct, eyes fluttering back at him as you let each breath take a slow turn.
Intuitive as always, Wonwoo sees that shift in your eyes. Itâs disturbing, daunting, and tempting all at once and he decides he canât take it anymore.
With the break room wall behind you, he pushes you against it, claiming your lips and body until there is no way of escaping. His lips are soft against yours, but moves languidly and impatient, and the grip of his hands on your hips drains the energy out of your lower body. You attempt to chase his vigor, hands against your neck as you suppress your moans at how he kneads your flesh through your slacks only to press your thigh to his side.
âSo Iâm whatâs wrong?â He asks in a low rasp against your lips.
You naturally hold him by the back of his neck, his nose nuzzling against yours. Wonwoo feels your lips part to speak, but he is in a daze by how soft they felt only seconds ago. âYou are far from whatâs wrong,â you finally answer.
Ridding of inhibitions and doubt, Wonwoo opens the storage closet behind you and shoves you in to lock you both inside. His hands run up your body needily, desperate to taste the skin underneath the shirt youâve borrowed. You help him undress the same way he does to you, and your pristine pressed Van Hausens fall near your feet like rubble.
His lips then fall underneath your chin, trailing your neck, he refrains from leaving too much pressure but is almost swayed by your natural scent mixed in with his shampoo. He roughly plants you against a mostly empty shelf, the ice cold metal somehow burning your skin. He helps you tug off your slacks finding that sopping cunt thatâs been dying to have him discover them since this morning.
âFor me? Just for me?â He wastes no time shoving his hand down the frail fabric of your underwear and gliding his thick digits over your wet slit. âI donât know if I can keep my hands to myself this time.â
Your voice reveals itself, saying his name in a way you wouldnât dare let another person hear as long as you lived. He repeats the action, watching you crumble in front of him like award-winning cinema.
âI never heard you speak like that to me. I could get used to it.â He find your ear, his cat-like smile forming before his lips closes around your skin and his whispers cause the ripples of chills down your spine. âSay my name like that again for me, darling.â
You tremble under his touch, feeling his fingers dip into your heat enticingly. âWonâŠwoooâŠâ
He lets out a soft and gentle moan, and the heat of his breath fans your pebbled skin. âSuch a pretty little thing. Iâve dreamt how youâd be like this for me so often.â
âYouâŠhave?â
He presses a lingering kiss on your neck. âMore than I can be proud of.â He curls his digits before taking light jerks, his thumb rubbing your arousal around the circumference of your clit. He drinks in your pretty pants, teeth grazing back at your skin. âYou like me touching you? Arenât I being such a good work husband?â
Your eyes screw shit, mouth etching open to give him a well-deserved praise, âSo gooââ
âWhere are my keys,â a voice breaks outside the door.
Wonwoo seizes his fingers from you and clamps them over your mouth, your arousal basically coating your lips and his eyes staring back at you intently.
âWhere did they go anyway?â
Wonwoo shushes you with pursed lips. âBetter be quiet.â His tone is stern but his actions say otherwise as his zipper comes down in a fraction of a second. âItâs in our best interest not to get caught, right?â
His name muffles under his palm, squeezing the life out of your cheeks as he exposes the bulging cock thatâs been fighting away at him since he kissed you. Your eyes dart in their direction, beading perspiration across your forehead, and you feel yourself clench around nothing as his cock draws closer to your fluttering heat.
Your eyes double their size and then shrink to half the size once heâs inside you. His raw, long heat pushes into your core inch by inch, and you feel the necessary evil to bite down his palm. If Wonwoo was bothered by it, he doesnât show it as he claims you with deep strokes, having your hands rest against his firm pectorals in reluctant trust. His low grunts can only be heard by you and the slight fog in his glasses is apparent the closer he thrust into you, even in the dim closet lighting,
Outside these walls still is a confused Mingyu, not foreseeing the event occurring behind a door mere feet away. âMaybe, they went somewhere else for lunch.â
You audibly squeak within the tight space and Wonwoo shushes you again, knocking back into with a curt but harsh slam before forcing your walls to hold his cock inside you like a natural plug. âYouâre gonna get us in trouble, darling. Iâm not done with you yet.â An accumulated thrill runs through your veins at the thought of being caught, taking every thrust with pressure and liquifying at the devious smile on your rumored boyfriendâs face.Â
âNo theyâre not here,â the intruder says to a voice unheard from their distance. ââŠComing!â
His footsteps noticeably scan the perimeter once last time before they retreated further and further away.
âFinally,â Wonwoo breathes out, ânow I have you all to myself.â Although he states that, he doesnât let go of your mouth, in fact, you swear his hand is getting tighter and now his face closer, finally processing the spearmint on his breath âWe should still be careful. Can you be quiet for me?â
You quietly nodded, grasping at his body desperately, gesturing for him to keep going.
He scoffs. âMy darling being impatient?â He pulls out almost his entire length before shoving back into you, earning a feeble tremble. âMy. Cock. Making. You. Needy. Hm?â
You nod back at him, holding back your tears, nails digging into his shoulder blades.
âEyes on me, darling. Your work husband is need of your attention while I fuck you senseless.â
Shallow breaths escape your nostrils, finally meeting his eyes, which seemed to have lost the thick barrier of his glasses somehow already set on the shelf behind him. âWould you like for me to cum in you?â
You gingerly nod.
âWill you listen to everything I say when I let go of your mouth?â
Like a glitch, you nod the same exact way.
âSuch a good little darling.â
His cock fills you up as naturally as breathing does. While his lips are home against yours, tongue entangling to the point it becomes sex itself. Your hushed moans are music to his ears and bear motive as his cock plunges deeper and harder inside you. He doesnât mind how you bit his lips, nor how your nails drag against his back, rather he revels in it, doubling over you to push his cock inside you deeper until you're unable to contain your screams and heâs forced to silence you again.
You whisper how youâre close and itâs a natural drug, encouraging him to only ram inside you and claim the sweet sound of your orgasm coating decadently around his cock. He handles it rather gentlemanly, fairly as his cock is next to ripple in climax, shooting his thick over churned honey until it fills your heat until the point of fully occupancy. His arms come around you in a firm grasp, bruising your lips until youâre imprinted with the memory of him.Â
You let out light pants, awkwardly thanking his promptly done tasks before youâre whisked away again by his perfect, salvia-sheened lips. âThat was veryâŠsuperb.â
Strange adjective but itâs done the job, you think.
âIâm glad you think so,â he chuckles in a way that tells you things are far from over and youâre proven correct when he brings up your legs, thighs crushing his cheeks that splays the most impish smile. âBut we still have 15 minutes of our lunch and a manâs gotta eat.â

ao3 link for reading | spotify playlist.
The violent tearing sounds of teeth ripping through the flesh pulse and echo through the night air.Â
Blood sprays onto the furred creature responsible for it. All else grinds to a halt, the gnats and fireflies silent in awe as sharp claws crush through bone. Wyll can hear the sound of his own blood pumping as his eyes watch the massacre, hand drawn on his rapier. He looks over through the rest of his partyÂ
They remain just as awestruck. Astarion stands breathlessly. Shadowheart slinks into her namesake, eyes closed and trembling in the dark.Â
But Wyll watches, eyes fixed on the bloodshed. On the violence. The realization dawns on him too late that one of his party members is missing. Youâre missing. He stares back at the creature, underneath the moon - silently slaughtering every last of their opposition until the battle field is left in a field of crimson. Death plagues every inch of dirt to the naked eye.Â
A whimper sounds. Followed by the sound of skin and bones retracting and moving back into place.Â
Where a werewolf once was is your naked form. Sat on your knees and bent over your body with tears at the corners of your eyes. Just your ears and tail remain, your mouth and hands covered in a thick layer of blood. You sniffle, the only light left to illuminate you ritual candles and moon as you turn your head back to your party.Â
âUhm,â Your voice is coarse, thick with exhaustion and tears. Wyll stares at you in awestruck silence âWe should probably talk.âÂ
_Â
âSo,â Galeâs voice and the obvious exasperation in it is enough to make Wyll feel sorry for you. Youâre sitting at the campfire, finally clothed - with a blanket around your shoulder and Astarion tending to your wounds. âWe have a Sharran, a vampire spawn, a werewolf, and a githyanki. Anything else we need to check off before we apply for a tent at the circus?âÂ
Karlach takes the empty seat next to you, wanting to wrap her hand around the fluffy base of your tail and frowning when she realizes she canât. Your ears are folded down, the corners of your eyes still wet with tears. You lean into Karlachâs heat, just enough to feel it.Â
 The air is cool, thick with the scent of dirt and smoke. The campfire licks with light flames, surrounded by half cut logs for extra seating. You, Astarion, and Karlach crowd on a single half - draped with an extra bedroll for cushion.Â
âDonât be so harsh on them, Gale,â Karlach says, glancing over at you âItâs hardly like theyâre a threat to us. I mean.. look at them.âÂ
Your frown deepens as you hang your head in shame.Â
âI thought we were past this, no? I mean weâve all already been honest with each other so far. Itâs a little late to be keeping something like this a secret is it not?âÂ
âThatâs true,â Wyll interjects, standing next to Gale across from the three of you - staring at your curled up form with sympathy. âI really donât understand why you hid it for this long. Surely, you couldâve told us earlier?âÂ
Your voice is weak and unusually frail. âThe opportunity never presented itself.âÂ
âYou could have mentioned it when Astarion told us he was a vampire?â Wyll suggests.Â
âI didnât want to steal his thunder, you know? Felt a bit rude, really.âÂ
Astarion laughs, clearly wanting to laugh himself into hysterics but having enough tact not to do so. âNot a thing in that head of yours aside from our parasite, is there darling? But you know, Iâm quite delighted by this revelation.
âReally?âÂ
âNow weâve got two monsters at our camp as opposed to just one! Evens out the playing field, in case things go south.âÂ
âIâm not a monster,â You murmur, pouting. âAnd I donât think you are either, for the record. Iâm just a shifter. And my goddess is kind.â
âOh? And who would that be?â Gale asks somewhat bitterly.
âSelune,â Shadowheart pipes up this time, for the first time since your arrival back to camp. Emerges from her own tent in the corner like a ghost. Her arms are crossed, brows pinched into a tight face of displeasure âShe has a network of werewolves in her ranks. Youâre one of them, arenât you?âÂ
You look up at her saddened, like a kicked puppy for lack of a better word, casting your gaze away from hers. Shadowheart looks ferocious, her appearance locked onto your pitiful form with a familiar angry smolder. Wyll canât decide if youâve done anything so grand as to earn her ire, even if youâre a Selunite werewolf. Though, given all that Wyll knows about her, that may as well be the greatest sin of all.
Your voice is tiny and high-pitched as you play with your hands in your lap âI didnât intend to hide it from you but y-yes. I donât bear any hatred towards you or other Shar followers, but uhm, well, I didnât think youâd be very happy about it. A-and then, well you know, back in the grove you mentioned you hated wolves so, I just⊠planned on never shifting.âÂ
âYou have control over something like that?â Wyll inquires. You nod, not looking up at him.Â
âI was born as a werewolf, not turned. So the moon doesnât affect me in the same way it would someone who was turned and I have more control over when it happens. I can shift in and out. Usually no problem but when Iâm caught off guard like that,â You lift your tail and swing it from side to side as if to emphasize the point âSometimes I mess it up.âÂ
âChk. What a waste of ability. Think of how many we wouldâve slaughtered had we known from the start.â
Wyll looks around. Everyone has gathered now, standing around the fire.Â
âA werewolf⊠I know little of them. Wild shape magic is vastly different. I hope your condition does not cause you too much trouble. Or us, for that matter.â Halsin adds apologetically.Â
âI didnât intend for it to come out this way,,â You mumble pitifully. Shit, he really canât help but feel bad. âI really did fully plan on keeping it to myself until the end. But, well, we were desperate. And I didnât want to see anyone die,âÂ
âGiven our circumstances, I think it would be amiss to scold you for your bravery,â Wyll supplements, trying to ease your worries. He does mean it. Regardless of what happened, you did save everyone. âPlus, weâve all kept secrets here.âÂ
âExactly right, soldier. Donât beat yourself up about it,âÂ
âWow, what sort of double standard is this? When I came out as a vampire, you people couldnât stop talking about how afraid you were I was going to bite you!â Astarion says with an exaggerated frown. You smile at him weakly.Â
Wyll gives him a disbelieving look. âWell youâre not exactly subtle about wanting to suck our blood, are you Astarion?âÂ
Astarion huffs. âEveryone here is so unfair.âÂ
Wyll laughs goodnaturedly, his eyes turning back onto you. He examines you in silent thought, his mind sifting over your last few months together.Â
After Gale gets over his initial frustration, his curiosity gets the better of him. He rejoins everyoneâacross from you on an empty log and Wyll joins along with them. Shadowheart and Lae-zel come too, as does Halsin.Â
Around the campfire, Gale pulls a book and quill from his tent before making himself comfortable.Â
âWell since weâve all made up, I am a little curious about your condition.â He admits. A very Gale thing to do, Wyll thinks.Â
âI donât mind any questions.â You reply gently. âItâs the least I can do.âÂ
The whole camp softens at your display. Surprisingly, Shadowheart is the first to ask a question.
âIs it more comfortable for youâŠin your wolf form?âÂ
You seem taken aback.. Though it dawns on you quickly why she would be asking that specifically.Â
âAh, kind of? My humanoid form is also me but it feels⊠limiting at times.âÂ
âLimiting?âÂ
âEating meat without my canines is a pain in my ass. Same with not being able to express myself with my ears or tail. I like traveling on my paws depending on the terrain.â You say, shaking your head. âIt doesnât bother me though mostly,âÂ
Galeâs quill hitting the paper makes a loud scratching sound. Astarion has a snarky comment about it that Wyll misses. Heâs too preoccupied with other things.Â
Hoping that you don't feel too badly about all this, for example.Â
âDoes it affect your daily life in any way?â Â
âI donât think so? I donât know. Itâs always been like this, so thereâs nothing that different to me. I do notice how different I am around humans maybe,â You say, before perking up. Youâve just remembered something important. âOh, but there is one thing.âÂ
âWhat is it?â Wyll asks.Â
âMy senses are much much sharper than other peoples. My sense of smell, especially.â
___Â
You remain together. Despite the mess. Somehow.Â
With this parasite in mind, and nothing left to lose - itâs better to stay together. Now that there are no important secrets kept hidden, the vibe is much more relaxed. The impending doom adds a layer of familiarity too. Wyll has often traveled with bands of strangers, but never for so long and with so many.Â
It gives him a sense of familiarity. Home. What a foreign word.Â
He thinks a lot of it is your contribution. Theyâre your pack, as you say so often. A special one with lots of different sorts of people. And you - youâre loyal to a fault. It helps. You and Karlach are a lot alike, but Wyll would venture to call you a little more tender. It helps fill in the gaps.Â
Wyll knows youâre a werewolf but itâs hard not to think of you as a dog in that sense. A different dog to Scratch, maybe. But a dog all the same - with folded ears and a softail and propensity for drooling depending on the way you sleep.Â
Heâs only really reminded of the fact that youâre part wolf when you use your abilities in battles. Itâs your failsafe. You only do it when you think itâs dire, and before that you air on the side of diplomacy. Youâre a hunter should the need arise though. Sometimes you donât transform completely. Where your usual canines are meant to linger in your mouth are a set of teeth too big for it. Instead of hands, sometimes there are soft paws with sharpened nails.Â
There are three ways you can transform for that matter. Human, werewolf, or just wolf. Wyll finds these little distinctions fascinating, and more fascinating that you tend to opt for one end of the spectrum or the other.Â
Wyll quickly learns some of your physical attributes are the same irregardless of what you look like. The fact you are agile and quick and strong, or the fact you can travel fast on all fours. The fact you like meat, and the fact you whine rather loudly when youâre upset.Â
When youâre using your abilities, many would think you a ruthless killer.Â
But after everyones cleared from harm, youâll transform back into your usual human self - naked and covered in blood and frowning. You spit up meat that tastes bad and whine loudly if no one tells you good job.
(That job often falls on Wyll or Shadowheart. Gale or Karlach if theyâre traveling with you. Astarion is only kind enough to do it in a semi-mocking way, but Wyll is keenly aware of how sincere his praise can be.)Â
In moments like that, youâre just a dog again. A puppy, sometimes. Loyal. And novel, and interesting for many reasons.Â
Wyll should expect your loyalty by now. He sees it so often, how unyielding and faithful you always are. To your goddess and to your pack and to whatever else youâve deemed important to you.Â
He shouldâve known that youâd probably try to seek him out tonight, after everything thatâs happened among all of you.Â
He did watch you for a bit at the start. You worked clockwise through all of your companions, stopped in between for stories and gossip. Some of the tiefling kids wanted to see your tail and youâre too good a spirit to tell them no.
Wyll wouldnât dare hope for you finding him, but he is a little relieved when you do.Â
âWyll! There you are,âÂ
 Wyllâs eyes snap up.
âAh, Hells. I was hoping you wouldnât notice I was gone,â He says regretfully.Â
âOf course I noticed! How could I not notice our very own warlock disappear? It was no party without you.âÂ
Wyll wonders if youâre being sincere. He hopes you are. The night air is cool as the two of you share space. Away from the party, only sand and rubble between your feet. And a body of water that looks like it could go on forever.Â
Itâs a full moon tonight.Â
âReally? Iâm honored,â He peers out into the lake. Suddenly aware of his body, Wyll recoils into himself. The movement is subtle enough to be overlooked. The horns on the top of his head feel especially heavy. The skin pulled around the base of them throbs. Itâs not painful, but it is unpleasant. âIn truth, I donât feel a festive mood and I didnât want to cast a gray cloud over the night.âÂ
âIs it too intrusive for me to ask?âÂ
âNot at all,â Wyll assures. Your words are comfortable and soft, concerned without being pitiful. âIâm a devil. I love the people of the grove, but I unsettle them deep down. As I seem to unsettle everyone nowadays.âÂ
Wyll can hear his own somber. He doesnât wince, but it's impossible to ignore. Even explaining himself only adds to his melancholy. Heâs quiet for a while, his voice touched with a destitution and irony. And bitterness, maybe.Â
You remain still and steady beside him. He canât tear his gaze away from the endless water, comforted by its vastness. How it generally disregards him and distorts his reflection.
âYou donât want a devil at your party. Horns this sharp will pop the balloons you see. And the guests wonât take kindly to scars quite so monstrous.â He jokes, trying to keep his voice light.Â
He doesnât think he succeeds at it.Â
Silence once more. Wyll can see you, but your expression is unchanged. Your eyes are clear underneath the ever changing moon.Â
âYou donât unsettle me. You never have.â Thereâs conviction behind your words. They comfort him.
âIf only half the world had half the heart you do.â Wyll tells you, and means every word. He tries to brighten up, waving you off. âDonât let my introspection spoil your night. Off with you. This is your day! Have a dance. Enjoy the music.âÂ
He hopes itâs enough to get you to forget about him for tonight.Â
When you walk off, Wyll is expecting you to disappear. Itâs enough that youâve checked on him. He wouldâve been content with it, left to reflect on his troubles alone. Youâve done something significant with your reassurance. He isnât so tactless to keep you from celebrating. even when he would maybe want more time with you.Â
You return to him though. With a bottle of wine, and a bedroll you spread in the empty sand next to him. You give him an unreadable look followed by a cheeky smile, making yourself comfortable on the ground.Â
âCome on. Sit.â
Confused, Wyll sits. You open the bottle of wine with your teeth as a cork and drink from the top before passing it over to him. He takes it from you and stares at the place youâve just drank from. You start to talk while he debates mimicking you.
âYou donât have to pretend itâs less difficult than it is,â You say almost thoughtlessly. Almost. âYouâve lost your body. Yourself. That must be hard.âÂ
Wyll looks at you, then back at the colored glass of the bottle. He clears his throat. âIt is. More than I imagined it to be.âÂ
âYou know, I was born a werewolf. And I had just about the best circumstances a person could have with that in mind. Selune accepts me and my clergy was mostly kind. Still, I heard the word monster a lot from people outside my circle. I could feel the distrust that I incited in outsiders. So, I wonât pretend to know exactly what youâre going through,â You say, your legs stretched out far into the sand, past the confinement of a tiny square bedroll âBut I do know what itâs like to feel accused when youâve done nothing wrong. You especially, Blade of Frontiers. I think youâre allowed to grieve the trust it feels like youâve lost, or might lose. If itâs worth anything, though, I know youâre not a monster.âÂ
Wyll barely gets a chance to process the words as they come. He wonders if this is what people mean by feeling seen by someone else. âYou know?âÂ
âDamn right I know,â Your response comes without hesitation. The night air blows along his skin, a soft and tender caress. Wyll frowns when you don't elaborate.
âHow could you know something like that?â He asks.
âLotsa reasons. Youâre still nice and thoughtful and caring and charming. But, hm, well the most obvious reason is a little more primitive.â You take a deep inhale. âYour scent,âÂ
â...Iâm sorry?âÂ
Your laugh is bright, and bubbly.Â
âYour scent,â You repeat calmly, taking a deep sigh after saying it. âEveryone at camp has a scent. Itâs a little abstract, but they change when people change. Shadowheart smells the leaves of black currant and uh, Halsin smells like sequoia wood. Laeâzel smells like black tea and metal. Gale smells like licorice. Astarion smells a lot like applemint. Karlach smells like smoke and star anise,âÂ
Wyll finds himself both awestruck and amused.
âThese are all rather specific,âÂ
âIâve always been a bit of a bloodhound so Iâve developed a talent at identifying specifics. It was shitty when I was a runt. Even a trip outside could give me the worst fuckinâ headache, but it got better the more I got used to it.â You give Wyll a glance âAnyways. Scent changes. When someone changes, their scent does too. Moods and days and everything affect it too.âÂ
âAnd mine hasnât changed, is what youâre saying?âÂ
âNo. Not in the way thatâd make you different. Itâs stronger, but it hasnât changed. You havenât changed.â You say quietly, and take a deep breath. âNot to me at least.âÂ
âYouâve conveniently left out my scent from your description.â Wyll says with fond amusement. He feels reassured. Itâs absurd, yet Wyll is so inclined to believe you. âIs it something so awful?âÂ
You flush, suddenly becoming timid.Â
âYours is⊠good,â You say simply, and softly. You seem embarrassed to continue. He canât help but find it so incredibly endearing. âItâs just harder for me to describe. But itâs good. Itâs personally my favorite. âÂ
You add the last part a little quieter.Â
âAnd it hasnât changed,â Wyll says more than asks this time.Â
âNo. Stronger, but the same.â You curl in on yourself, crossing your legs as you turn your head to face him, head tilted towards one side with a smile. âYouâre not a devil to me. Just Wyll. And I like just Wyll.â
Wyll feels his chest tight as you lean your head on your shoulder contentedly. He tries not to read it into, hoping you canât hear how loudly his heart is pounding. He takes a drink from the wine bottle straight, the same place your lips touched moments ago.Â
He likes you, too. The words donât come out right.Â
âYesâŠIâm,â Heâs speechless, hands folded in his lap as he stares at you. âMe too. Our journey together has proved important to me. Thank you.âÂ
You smile but donât say anything more.
___
With the goblin camp clear, the journey towards the Shadowfell lands becomes increasingly pervasive. Youâve done more traveling and less resting in the last few weeks than you have thus far in your journey.Â
Smoke clouds in the horizon are what draw you to Waukeens rest.Â
On your way to the mountain pass, for easy access to the city, lay a massacre of bodies and fire. The distress has far from subsided. The thick smog continues to build, folds into itself like massive heaps of wool - suffocating everything on every path in its surroundings. The smell of ash is invasive, even from a fair distance away.Â
Blood trails from one end of the path towards the main entrance. As your partyâs distance begins to close in, Wyll feels his lungs fill up with a familiar tightness. The burning air makes his eyes and lungs sting.
âShit, the fire is still burning. There must still be people in need of aid. We should,â You cough hard as you look at what's in front of you. Eyes squinted trying to make out the horizon. âWe should get there and see if we can aid them,âÂ
Astarion groans âFor just one day, could we rest? Leave this nonsense up to the other wandering travelers desperate for recognition? Is that asking so much?âÂ
âAs long as Iâm pinning down bodies for you to feed off, youâve got to listen to me, you know? You laugh warmly at his sarcasm. âNow, If you donât stop complaining youâll fall behind, pretty boy, and thereâll be not a thing left for you to suck dry.âÂ
âI should report you for that, you know. Threats of starvation against the imprisoned violate the law,âÂ
You laugh a little as you start to make your way forward. The four of you jog towards the entrance of Waukeens rest with urgency, more yours and Wyllâs than Astarionâs and Shadowheartâs.
Among the scenery at the front entrance of Waukeens rest - what concerns Wyll most is not the death. Not the bodies ashen among flame or the flames themselves that continue to widen and encompass. It is that, among those bodies, are members of the Flaming Fist. Past the sour memory of his life comes the worry, the fear.Â
What in the Hells are the Flaming Fist doing around this area?
Away from the woman praying over a body, are a small number of Fistâs pushing on the doorway of a locked and burning building. Youâre quick to run to it. Wyll barely keeps up.Â
Before you can ask about the situation at hand, a Flaming Fist member addresses you and your party.Â
âGrand Duke Ravengard could be inside, donât just stand there - push!âÂ
Wyllâs voice betrays him, speaking before he has a minute to think. âRavengard? Heâs here?âÂ
âYes, now make yourself useful- push, damn it, push!â
Wordlessly from next to him, you gear yourself up and push kick the door in. Strong enough that the wood crumbles to nothing, Wyll watches the doors open wide and the flames that lick at the inside of the building. A cloud of smoke billows out as the Flaming Fist pour in, your party quick to follow in alongside them.Â
Through the thickets of smoke and up stairs half-broken, sounds Counselor Florrick's voice from behind the broken door. Maneuvering through ember and broken floorboard, you proceed the same as you did before. Pushing through the crowd of people surrounding the door - you use your foot and kick the door in again, causing it to break nearly instantly.Â
Counselor Florrick coughs as she makes her way outside.
âCome. Iâm afraid proper thanks must wait,â She says with a heaved breath. Itâs too clouded with smoke for Wyll to make anything of her face and Wyll can only assume that is the case both ways.Â
Back down through the way you came, you take a deep inhale of smoke and cough. The scent must be nauseating, far too much for you - but you donât let it show through your face.Â
Once everyone has been accounted for outside, Counselor Florrick approaches your party in the broad daylight of the courtyard. Itâs there she recognizes Wyll.Â
âHold on,â Wyll says, reaching into his pack. He hands you a sachet of herbs heâd purchased alongside you from a merchant in the goblin camp. âFor your nose,âÂ
You give him a look of surprise, your ears perking up and tails swishing as you take it from him gratefully, holding it up to your nose for a deep breath.Â
âFuck, thank you.â You reply gratefully. Wyll nods in reply.
âCounsellor Florrick - are you alright?â Wyll says first, concern pouring through. Regardless of all else.Â
Itâs clear right away, the horror in his face once sheâs seen whatâs become of him. Wyll lets it roll off of his back, the momentary sting not enough to make him flinch. Itâs a reminder to start adjusting to what will be one of many.Â
Her sympathy is tangible, though it doesnât make Wyll feel better.Â
âWyll - by the Maimed God, whatâs become of you?âÂ
He shakes his head to dismiss the thought. âA story best left for calmer days. Now breathe deeply, are you in pain?â
âA scorched throat, a few hairs singed off. Nothing a bit of time and fresh air canât cure.âÂ
Wyllâs shoulder sag with relief. She turns to address the Flaming Fist accompanying her.Â
âGauntlet, a new duty calls. Drow have taken Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard - westward if my eyes and ears can be believed.â She pauses, thinking before giving further instruction âReport to the manip and send for reinforcements. We must find the Grand Duke.âÂ
âOn your command, Counsellor.â The head of the Gauntlet affirms, bowing their head before taking off.Â
Itâs there that Wyll feels panic. Uncertainty like nothing heâs felt in the last seven years. Maybe longer. No longer a passing thought or a sour memory, concern for his father washes out what mightâve been grief.
âNo. It canât be. You mean, theyâve taken -âÂ
Counselor Florrick's expression darkens. âYes, Wyll. The drow have your father.âÂ
âShit, what? Wyll, youâre a noble?â You interject for the first time in the conversation. When Wyll turns to you, above all else is concern. He shakes his head.
âThe circumstances of my birth are no matter of pride for neither me nor my father. But pride is no reason to refuse help to my own flesh and blood. How can we help?.âÂ
âRescue Ravengard from his drow captors. Baldur's Gate needs him, now more than ever,â She says, addressing you primarily and Wyll after. She pauses to examine Wyll a second time, like now that sheâs out of the smoke she is really looking.Â
A passing glance of her brings back memories of a childhood long forgotten. Days spent in courtyards training the sword and waiting for father to finish his duties. An ache starts to form in the cavity of his chest, but Wyll swallows it.Â
Where duty calls, it is only common sense the Blade will answer. He holds a fist over his heart and bows.Â
âTrust us to see it through, Counsellor.âÂ
âWho is this Duke Ravengard?â You ask, finally - though itâs not to him. Rather itâs to the Counselor. Wyll wonders if thatâs a choice youâve made on purpose.Â
âThe invisible force holding Baldurâs Gate together. Without him, the cityâs collapse is certain.â She pauses, looking troubled âI fear that may have been the intention of those who abducted him.âÂ
âShit. Then, not to be rude, but why entrust this to me? You have others at your command. More well equipped, Iâd imagine,â You ask, bearing no hostility. A fair enough question for you, head of pack, with concerns for everyone else.Â
âIsnât it clear? You travel with the Blade of Frontiers. Who might I trust, if not a legend? Who might rise to the moment, if not Ravengardâs own son?â
You pause to mull over her reply. Your brow is furrowed in concentration, before your focus returns to the Counselor.
âI donât think the drow have taken him back to Menzoberranzan. More likely theyâve taken the Duke to Moonrise Towers.â You say tentatively. âThough Hells, I canât be sure. Goblinâs beinâ here is weird and their affairs are tied together somehow. Plus, the drow weâve met in this area so far have relations to other cultist bullshit,âÂ
âI was thinking the same,â Wyll adds.Â
âMoonrise Towers? Along the old road? That place is cursed, few could survive thereâŠunless darker forces are at work,â She pauses, taking a moment to assess the situation âThis was no random attack, then. The Grand Duke was their target.âÂ
After more deliberating, you look firmly at the Counselor and nod - a serious promise.Â
âMoonmaiden guide us - weâll head to Moonrise towers and find Duke Ravengard. Though for now, I wonât promise anything.âÂ
âThank you. When the Grand Duke returns to the city, heâll hail his only son a hero.â She says with a deep breath âApproach the towers with care. The land itself has been swallowed in shadow.â
She turns to address him this time âRemember Wyll. âCourage is found in the battle against fear, not in the defeat of it.ââ
âSo father said. I wonât soon forget it.â
âWeâll be heading off now, towards the towers. Take care of yourself.âÂ
âYou too, Counselor Florrick.âÂ
With that, the Florrick disappears back out into the smoke and open road. Left in the aftermath is the rest of the party, not barring you - and Wyll with nothing but worry.Â
Your eyes find Wyllâs with ease, filled to the brim with concern. Wyll casts his gaze away instinctively.Â
âShit,â Wyll swears, unsure of what the reaction from you will be.
âWyll,â Your voice calls and soothes. Before his response forms in his mouth, he feels a hand on the nape of his neck. In a sudden movement, you lean into him. Even amongst the swallowing heat of fire and ember - Wyll is conscious of your skin. The scrapes and cuts on your fingers raised press against his own. You inhale a long breath and Wyll realizes what youâre doing. Itâs confirmation when you pull away and glance at him seriously. âCan I trust you to tell me whatâs going on?âÂ
The question itself is exposing. Itâs a raw nerve, split open, tender and unhealed. Thereâs no shame in it. Or maybe there is, always has been - and Wyll has spent nearly seven years outrunning it. This much he knows - he never intended to show you this part of himself.
And he knows that this is not the first time heâs betrayed your trust. You ask Wyll to trust you, and Wyll wants to explain he always has.Â
There is no betrayal in your face, no disappointment.
You come to him ready to receive anything. Crystal clear eyes and a sincerity in your heart - there is so much said in so little.Â
âIâm sorry. It was never,â Heâs struck by grief in a sudden moment. Youâre kind, but it goes well beyond just that. âI had no intent to hide it.âÂ
âBut you had no intent to share it either,â You say, your voice soft-spoken and tender. Forgiving, though you donât make Wyll feel like thereâs something he needs forgiveness for. âItâs okay. Weâre damn similar sometimes aren't we?âÂ
When you let go of Wyll, he stares at you. Wide-mouthed and unsure of himself. For a brief moment, his surroundings become blurry. Thereâs no one else in the party. Thereâs no smoke. Thereâs no fire. No ash. For a brief moment, thereâs just you - and youâre smiling. You feel like forgiveness.Â
âFlorrick spoke true,â Wyll affirms, unsure of what to do with himself. âI am a Grand Dukeâs son.âÂ
âNot just a grand duke - Ravengard has more power and influence than anyone.â Astarion adds.Â
âMy father and I were close. Once upon a time. Until he disowned me and cast me out of Baldurâs Gate,â Wyll says with a hardened heart. Heâs forgiven his father. Heâs spent years rationalizing the choice he made. But heâs reminded in an instant that the wound is still tender. âI canât tell you more - the pact forbids it. My lips are quite literally sealed.âÂ
âOkay,â You give Wyll a look, clear and bright. âThen, Wyll - do you want to save your father?âÂ
He wasnât expecting that to be your only question. It must show that heâs taken aback, but you remain where you are unflinching.Â
âYes, Iâyes. Regardless of our relationship, he remains my flesh and blood.â You press your lips together, an encouraging half smile, prompting him. âAnd I donât want him to fall into the hands of Absolutists for any reason. He made me an exile, but Iâm not about to let him suffer at the hands of his captors.â
âAlright. Then weâll save him,â You brush over the weight of that sentence, addressing your other companions. âThe only lead weâve got so far is Moonrise towers, so weâll stick to our original plans. Visiting the creche and then traveling through the Underdark.âÂ
Wyll stares at you as you continue to talk, the words feeling like little more than noise. Lost in thought, you let him remain undisturbed. When your eyes meet, you donât do anything more than grin - fang poking out form underneath your lip.Â
And itâs the second time in his life, Wyll feels like youâre seeing something he canât. Himself, maybe.
__Â
A confrontation with the githyanki and a red dragon later, you return to camp the night of visiting Waukeenâs rest.
When night falls, you join Wyll in his tent. The gesture is innocent. You ask about having a sleepover. Wyll tries to remember thereâs nothing but friendship between you. Eventually helets you into the cramped space of his tent. Thereâs barely enough space for you both, but you manage.
Before bed, you ask Wyll to tell you about himself. Anything he can afford to tell you. For a long while, he talks about being the Blade of Frontiers. But then, when itâs late enough and the gap between you continues to shrink - he talks about his life in the city. It doesnât happen on purpose. Wyll is hardly so ungentlemanly. Itâs unlike him to cluelessly go on and on about himself.Â
You just happen to know exactly the right questions. Before Wyll knows it, heâs telling you about all of his escapades. His life as a nobleman's son and escaping to fraternize with lower city youth.
Wyll canât disclose his pact to you, but he can tell you about the kiss he had at fifteen. He can tell you about the first time he lost a tooth, or describe the well-worn picture of his late mother in his fathers wallet. For a while, Wyll recounts tales of a life heâd thought heâd abandoned. When the words come out, they donât feel like violence. Donât coat his mouth with the bitter taste of iron. Instead they taste light like memories, and come out just as soft.Â
He doesnât remember when either of you drift off to sleep.Â
When morning comes and Wyll finds you still in his tent, he feels the ability to claim plausible deniability drift away from him.Â
You mean more to him than he thought. The moment passes to tell you.Â
___Â
The journey to the Underdark is never an easy one.Â
Underneath the desecrated Selune temple was the beaten path. A long ladder down through a broken Selunite outpost. Not only have you all fought a spectator, a bullete, several hook horrors and an entire beach of duegars - youâve just slaughtered an Absolutist leader with your bare hands.Â
The remaining duegar have fled the scene after a night to recover, leaving Nereâs body for the lot of you to loot. The gnomes have gone too. Wyll tries to hold confidence all of them will make it in one piece.Â
The Sovereign had made his request clear, slaughter Nere and bring his head. Wyll has watched you kill and devour several bodies in your time together, but thereâs something novel about watching you do it now. A knife, pulled out from your sheath - sharp as it cuts and saws through the flesh. Itâs a clean, precise slice. Nothing like you, Wyll thinks fondly.Â
He can surmise that itâs because youâre rather fond of the myconid colony. Theyâre kind to you and you are always fond of those who are kind. In that way youâre easy to appease. But he didnât know you were capable of this level of care. You tend to be matted and ruddy. Generally messy.Â
Wyll likes you that way.Â
The head comes off the body unceremoniously. You wrap a cloth underneath the bottom, and tuck it in your pack along some cubes of ice you had Gale make you with magic that morning.Â
Wyll only sees the outline of your back. He watches as you stretch your palms out and examine them for blood. When you find none, you turn around with a little tired sigh.
Promptly, you prop yourself onto Shadowheart. Your ear and tails have made a reappearance, your chin resting on her shoulder.Â
âI'm tiiiiiiiiired,â You whine, long and drawn out. Your teeth stick out from your lips when you pout, Wyll notices. The heat of the forge and all of the surrounding lava have your skin sticky with sweat. The deep purple of the destroyed Sharran enclave feels out of place among the fires âI donât want to go to the Shadowfell lands. I wonât. You canât make me,âÂ
Youâve picked up a habit of being touchy. You tend to cling to Shadowheart, which Wyll finds ironic. Even with her cold exterior, the half-elf doesnât push you off when you hug or pester her. You make promises to Karlach youâll join her for it once her engines all fixed. Laeâzel finds it pointless. Halsin doesnât mind, and likes to turn into a bear so all the furry creatures at camp can turn into big pile.Â
Gale also doesnât mind, but the wizard usually airs on the side of embarrassment - a faint blush crawling over him whenever you wrap yourself thoughtlessly about him. Astarion pretends to reject it, but willingly pets and scratches you when he feels less combative. Something you happily recieve.
And Wyll⊠well, it doesnât bother him. You approach him often enough, and heâd be hard-pressed on a reason to reject you.Â
(He ignores the way your touch seems to linger, unsure if heâs seeing things that donât belong. Wyll is fond of you. Your heart is good - he thinks of you often but he isnât so sure that means something. Well it means plenty to him, but what of you?Â
You like the sensation of physical affection, he reminds himself Nevermind the times youâve fallen asleep as a wolf in his lap. Nevermind the occasional naps in his tent, or whines when heâs too busy to pay you mind.)
âYouâre not ferocious at all, do you know? More like a drooling mutt than a werewolf,â Shadowheart huffs sarcastically.Â
âWhat I lack in ferocity I make up for in vigor.â You reply with a hum, rubbing your cheek against Shadowheartâs shoulder. âAnd the situation doesnât spark any vigor in me. Weâve already been underground this long and next weâre going somewhere even darker.âÂ
Astarion pipes up, sitting criss-cross onto the marbled floor in one of the few spots free of blood, sorting through his varied belongings and trinkets. âI would figure werewolves and vampires share their love for the darkness, no?âÂ
âWe canât see the moon well from either place. I need to see the moon to track some things related to my form. I count the phases in my head but if I donât see it for too long - I start getting homesick like a man at sea.â You whine and huff again, this time peeling yourself off of Shadowheart and throwing yourself onto Wyll.Â
He steadies himself enough not to topple over by your strength and weight as you drape yourself across his back. You nuzzle your cheek against him tenderly. Itâs different to how you do it to Shadowheart or Astarion (when heâs not adamantly pushing you away.) Itâs more tender, closer. Your nose brushes against the nape of his neck. Wyll doesnât flinch, even at the warmth of your breath. You inhale again and Wyll can hear the swish of your tail.
He pretends to be ignorant of it and doesnât push you away - instead laughing lightly.Â
âOh, Moonmaiden - let your moon be my light, and I shall let my sword be your shining symbol.â You recite with a sigh. The words reverberate along his skin. âMoon my love, you are terribly missed.âÂ
âKeep your Selunite prayer out of my ears, would you?âÂ
âDonât be so moody, my cold blooded Sharran. Our Lady of SIlver is a kind and accepting goddess, so her blessing will extend even to you.âÂ
Shadowheart crinkles her nose. You laugh noisily next to Wyllâs ear. He smiles softly.
âAfter weâve delivered the head to the Sovereign, we can travel back overhead before going into the Shadowfell. That way, youâve had some time with the moon and weâre able to get in more rest before taking it on,âÂ
You pull away from him now, grabbing his shoulder to turn him around with a laugh. Wyll looks at you wide-eyed as you grin at him, knocking your foreheads together innocently.
âAh, what a great idea! If everyone else is on board, then letâs make our way to the Sovereign now and recoup on the surface. Weâll return to Grymforge come morninâ and head off that way. Is everyone on board with that?âÂ
You look around for affirmation before resting your gaze on Wyll with a smile.Â
Wyll feels his heart tug slightly, returning your smile before averting his eyes. You scamper off to Astarion, attention easily pulled in every which way. Shadowheart saunters towards him.Â
âYouâre rather obvious, Blade of Frontiers. I thought a folk hero would have a little more suave about these matters.â
Wyll clears his throat.Â
â...I donât know what youâre referring too.âÂ
Shadowheart laughs good-naturedly.Â
âSure you donât.âÂ
___
There are few times you take your proper werewolf form.Â
Itâs an accommodation thing from Wyllâs understanding. People are frightened less of full wolves or your humanoid forms. The hybridized version of yourself is what people find the most monstrous, and so - youâve gotten used to putting on the shelf.Â
The only time you take that form is when you hunt for meat. Itâs easy enough to get ahold of other camp supplies - like liquor or vegetables if theyâre lucky. But meat is hard to find, especially hard to find where it hasnât got spoiled. Astarion hunts only out of necessity, so heâs not really any help.Â
You hunt because itâs natural to you. A life of pilgrimage and spent in a Selunite enclave has gifted you the knowledge of preserving meats, too. When youâre camped out near enough forest - youâll hunt. Most often before a long stretch of travel, youâll go into the woods alone and disappear - returning with a feast. No one goes with you. In the forest, among fallen trees and soil - youâll gut and skin the prey. Youâll bring back the final products, clean hides and things to turn to leather and meat ready for curing. Itâs to prevent any more unusual bloodshed from occurring at camp. More sanitary, you always say.Â
Wyll has no intention of following you tonight while he knows youâre hunting. His interest in the woods is to scope them out one last time before you leave this place for good, keep it in his memory and prepare for the road ahead.Â
When he hears the sound of a faint growling, he thinks for a minute youâve been injured or are in some kind of danger.Â
The moon is shining just enough to cast light on your form. He figures out quickly youâre safe.
Thereâs nothing new to see. Thick, crimson blood makes a mess of your appearance - dripping down your fangs. It sticks and matts in your fur, covering your face in messy splatters. Your werewolf form is your most monstrous. Unnatural limbs and features - a form like a human but the face and ferocity of a wolf.Â
In front of you are corpses of animals, bled out and laid in a pile. The scent of blood is so strong Wyll can smell it from a distance away. Itâs a distance youâd usually be able to smell Wyll from, but it must be masked by the smell of copper and flesh.Â
The moon has waned, nearly to its fullest. You turn yourself towards the black sky of midnight, towards the moon - and you howl. It is a loud, tremendous sound.Â
Wyll has never heard you howl before. Itâs the most beautiful sound heâs ever heard in his life. An elongated melody, deep from your chest - high and throaty. You howl to the sky. You howl to the moon. To your goddess, most certainly. You howl in the version of yourself everyone finds most disgusting. The monster in you is alive and bare-chested to the world. Stood on your two feet, all matted fur and eyes like beams of light - you howl towards the sky.
And Wyll watches. Listens. Commits the sound to memory.Â
In the version of yourself that is so embraced by monstrosity, you howl like a song to the moon you so adore.
Heâs never found you so beautiful.Â
___
Time moves differently in the Shadowfell lands.Â
Slower. In every other part of Faeârun, the nights and days donât blur into each other. But here, in the abandoned and unyielding darkness - everything feels thick. Muddy. The soil that does not dampen, the trees that do not grow leaves. Instead of preserved amber, there is only shadow. It swallows everything, every place in the land.Â
The upward battle of survival persists. The Harpers have (barely) welcomed you into the Last Light Inn. Flaming Fist Marcus is dead, and the Moon Maiden has given her her blessing. Youâve even been able to give Karlach her first upgrade.Â
The air speaks for itself though, that youâre nearing something important. The beginning of something. Or the end, though Wyll sways towards hope and optimism.Â
In the presence of darkness and solace, -Wyll finds that you remain yourself. Bright and clear and comforting, even in the face of impending doom.Â
Your camp in the Shadowfell lands is brightened by artificial lights. It spans over more land now. The main area which hosts all of your companions lies at the foot of an abandoned building. An abandoned house, torn by vines of shadowfell and roots. The base of camp is spread over dusty ashen floors, everything colored gray.Â
When itâs time to rest, most lights remain on. He finds itâs easier to sleep with Seluneâs blessing.Â
Tonight, Wyll can't get any rest at all. Heâs still awake while his companions have fallen asleep. He opens his eyes to the skies. They lack the deep shades of purple of a normal night sky, unmistakably dark.
His eyes remain lidded as he takes a look at his surroundings. Shadowheart is asleep, and Astarion is deep enough in meditation that Wyll doubts heâd noticed if he walked off. Among his companions, youâre missing from your bedroll.Â
Wyll sits up as quietly as he can. He looks towards your tent, to see if youâve woken up to sleep inside - but doesnât find you there either. His brow tightens, shoulders tense as he blinks rapidly trying to wake himself up.Â
There arenât many places in this camp to go, despite the terrain being wider. The other tent occupants remain in place. From where Wyll stands youâre not with anyone else like Karlach or Halsin.Â
Thereâs only one more place that would leave you.
Through a curve and another straight path are wood stairs. At the top is a skeleton of an old house. One that stood long before the curse, and remains long after.Â
Wyll has never gone there on his own. He only saw it once while theyâd settled in for the first time. Thereâs nothing inside of it. A fireplace, a broken cupboard and cabinet. A table and chair, and two old beds that have gone rickety overtime.Â
He ducks his head as he enters through what mustâve once been a door.Â
It occurs to him heâs never really seen you pray. Not fully at least. Though you utter it on occasion, the words of your goddess - you tend to speak them lightly. Wyll gathers its out of respect for Shadowheart.Â
He finds you on the edge of a large bed in the center of the room. Youâre in your humanoid form, with only your ears and tail and teeth - your hands are clasped tightly around a necklace. The fireplace is burning, but itâs not what illuminates you.
All around you though is a pale blue glow, like the moon itself has surrounded you with all of its might. Youâre quiet in incantation - the warmth of a smile lighting up your features. Youâre not in your usual nightwear of a loose shirt and pants. Instead you wear the silk of a slip and something like a Selunite robe, open. Wyll has seen so much of your skin before, everything past your knees barren. But its a new feeling. Your neck and shoulders are just the same, your hand on your chest ducking from view.
You breathe deeply, before your eyes flutter open and see him at the door. You smile at him.
âYouâre awake,â You say first, letting go of the necklace chain. âHope everythingâs alright?âÂ
âSorry. And yes, everything is fine - I had just woken up and couldnât find you,â Wyll feels flush as he adds the rest to the conversation âAnd I uhm. Well I was worried something might have happened.âÂ
âOh, shit, Iâm sorry. I figured everyone would be asleep so I didnât bother telling anyone,â You say apologetically âOur Silver Lady called to me so I felt I ought to answer.â
You pause before laughing. âWait, sit first. Unless youâre going back to sleep right away.âÂ
Wyll shakes his head as your grin widens making his heart feel rather funny.Â
He sits next to you, fond as you bring your leg up and face him. Your back rests on the broken wood at the foot of the bed. Youâve tidied the room a bit, and these sheets donât have as much dust as they did when you first got here.Â
Wyll mirrors your actions, sitting with a leg up - bent at the knee as he stares at you.Â
âYou said your goddess called to you?â
âAh, yes,â Your voice is uncharacteristically shy. Wyll canât help but stare at the bare crook of your knees. âShadowheart had mentioned it. Thereâs something in these lands. And well,  wherever Shar goes, Selune will follow and all. Donât really know what it means, though. Bit of mystery.âÂ
âYouâre a cleric, right?â Wyll asks, taking a brief moment to assess and remember all the little details about yourself youâve told him.Â
When he thinks of it, thereâs so much about you he doesnât know. Though he feels you know everything there is to know about him. Itâs not that youâre secretive, but itâs rare to get a moment alone. Harder to find a moment appropriate to air out your past.Â
Alone with you in this shadowy, dimly lit room - Wyll hopes time will slow. Long enough to know something more about you, at least. Â
âRight. I try not to crutch too much on my magic so I tend to stick to fighting,â You say with a laugh âI also had to learn physical combat and martial arts. It feels like a waste not to use.âÂ
âI see,â Wyll says with a thoughtful hum âBut you are a cleric, all the same. Quite an impressive title to bestow on someone, Iâd imagine.âÂ
âAh, truthfully - I find it a bit difficult,â You reply sheepishly, surprising Wyll.âIâm sort of simple, all things considered. I thought Iâd be my Ladyâs sword or just part of her clergy, but I never imagined Iâd do anything so important. Or have powers so great.âÂ
The sound of your voice feels especially pleasant to Wyll like this, murmurs just between you with no threat of doom. Like between these broken wooden planks, is a peace impenetrable. He likes being with you.
âBefore your capture, were you? Set out to do something important, I mean,âÂ
âImportance is relative. But, it was a mission I was proud taking,â You reply thoughtfully. A confirmation of the sanctity in your character for you to make such a distinction. âI had been sent by my clergy to wander Faerun - to aid other lycanthropes and those touched by madness or ailment.Â
âYou alone had been sent?
You nod, staring down at your hands folded in your lap.Â
âAye, me alone. Iâd wandered around for several years when I was sent away before the ship had captured me. I was on my way to Baldurâs Gate as part of it,âÂ
âWhere do you hail from?âÂ
âAmn. Thereâs a few small Selunite enclaves there. Mama was a Silverstar, which is mostly a pretty word for a very powerful priestess. My fate was divined when I was seventeen and the rest is history.âÂ
âSeventeen is young. What was your final destination then? Or was it more of a wandering practice.âÂ
âAfter some years, I was hoping to get to Waterdeep actually. Big church for Selune over there, very beautiful.â Your voice teeters on wistful, blooming with longing and nostalgia. You peek at Wyll through your lashes. âIn that way, we have a lot in common.âÂ
âA lot in common. Do you really think so?âÂ
âMm, I do. Banished at seventeen, a monster inside us, some sort of tragic background. We make a fun pair.â
âI didnât know there was a tragic story in yours. To the extent you could call it one,â Wyll says quietly. You give Wyll a look. Though he doesnât pressure you to expand on it, you seem relaxed enough to talk about it.Â
You close your eyes briefly, letting them flutter open.Â
âIt was a year into my pilgrimage, I think,â You explore, a soft sadness tender in your expression. Wyll sits up a little straighter, readying himself to receive whatever you wish to tell him. âA small village in the Dalelands. Young girl, about seven. Her village had ostracized her. By the time I arrived, she was emaciated. Clever little thing had survived on her own but barely,âÂ
Wyll waits patiently for you to continue, not wanting to interrupt you even briefly. He softens his gaze. Â
âAnyway. When I go anywhere new, the basic practice is meeting locals. Depending on the circumstances, I wonât always disclose my wolven ways. Some people - they need guidance, others they need protection. In her case, she needed both,â You look far away somehow. Wyll feels empathy as much as he feels warmth. Your care for the human condition, he always finds, touches him. âShe was much smarter than me, you know. Her lycanthropy was inherited like mine, but because she was so young - she had a difficult time controlling it.âÂ
You pause to take a long, deep, steadying breath. âShe was my little genius. I cared for her an awful lot. Still do. She beat me at lanceboard all the time, despite being seven and I wasnât even letting her win you know.âÂ
âShe mustâve been even more brilliant than I could imagine.â Wyll offers. You nod.Â
âDespite my efforts, the relationship between her and her village wasnât getting better. One day, Iâd left her in my chambers for a while - to bring something back from a market nearby. Less than a few hours, and sheâd been uhm,â Your voice starts to close. Wyll follows his instinct, squeezing your hand where it rests on your knee. Itâs shaking when he reaches for it. He thinks briefly about kissing it. âSheâd been killed,âÂ
Wyll pauses, lets you collect yourself. But he wants to know as much as youâll tell him.Â
âIt was easy enough to figure out whoâd done it. And in small villages like that, the hivemind bullshit and paranoia really gets to people,â Your voice intones on bitterness. Angry and heartbroken, you continue âGrown men raising an ax to kill a little girl. I almost lost my mind. I shouldâve.âÂ
âBut you didntâŠ? Or did you? In a situation like that, well,â Wyll looks at you sympathetically. âAny choice you made I wouldnât hold it against you.âÂ
âI only punished the one who killed her. I didnât kill him no matter how much I wanted to. I donât think she wouldâve wanted that. Not her or my goddess,â You say with a deep sigh. âI used my magic and blinded him. Made an example out of him and reprimanded the rest of those fucking idiots.âÂ
âAnd after?âÂ
You clear your throat, but smile at him. Like youâre grateful he hasnât recoiled from it.
âAfter, I buried her body in the soft earth, in the place where the moon shone most brightly - and mourned. Her death was so severe I couldnât revive or heal her, I just buriedâŠher. I thought about doing plenty of other shit. To kill, to chase, to defend - but ultimately, it felt moreâŠmeaningful just to⊠bury her.âÂ
Wyll frowns, pausing. He squeezes your hand, eyes closed. Brows furrowed as he looks down.Â
âIâm sorry,âÂ
You smile at him. Noticing the hand in yours finally, you even flush - though the moment passes quickly. Wyll stares at you in quiet, wondering if his eyes alone could tell you all heâs thinking. With you, his silver tongue is absent. His mouth is weighed too heavily with feelings sincere, with words meaningful.Â
Wyll cannot offer you cleverness or comfort where he wishes to offer you honesty.Â
âThat night, the Moonmaiden had called to me. Just like today. Itâs hard to explain what it feels like? Like a cool hand on feverish skin. It was a revelation for me. I had suddenly felt so empty. And, after some sobbing, Iâd realized something,â You say whimsically, drawing circles into the back of Wyllâs hand.Â
âWhat did you realize?â He prompts.Â
âOur Lady of Silver believes in the carving and following of our own path. But, what had I done but what was told of me? All my life Iâd spent in the temple, in the monastery - among people of my own faith and beliefs. In the moment in which I felt so much anger, I didnât know what to do. I was lost. I didnât know what I was supposed to feel. Not on purpose, but that was the truth. I swore myself too soon to duty rather than the convictions of my heartâIâd lacked real purpose.â
Wyll smiles at you, brightened by the gusto in which you speak. Heâs endeared by you all too easily.Â
âAnd the convictions of your heart? Have you found them?â He asks, head tilted.Â
âNot all of them. But you know I figured out one thing. I want to make the world a less lonely place. Her death will never not bear weight on my mind, but her tiny hand thanking me for staying with her. That was something, Iâm damn sure. Maybe all of it,âÂ
He stares at you, speaking in quiet murmurs. Youâre glowing, he thinks. You must be.Â
âItâs a noble thing to want. At least to me.âÂ
âIâm glad you think so. My goddess has given me these divine powers, so my duty will always be to help people. But more than that - I want to guide the sick and afraid like the Moonmaiden guides me. I want to make it less difficult for people.âÂ
âYouâre awfully wise at times like this.âÂ
âWise?â You laugh lightly. âIâve never heard that for me before. More used to hearing stuff like hard-headed, pack runt, cry baby. So on and so forth. But Iâll cherish it before you change your mind.âÂ
âDo you feel fulfilled here? Becoming a hero of a city, saving so many people - surely that too aligns with your convictionsâÂ
âAsking an awful lot about me,â You tease finally. Wyll is hard-pressed to deny it. Itâs so obvious. âBut I do. Iâd say managing to become Astarionâs friend is a high enough accomplishment with regards to you know, my convictions and all. Itâs honestly like my lifeâs work. He even pets me now. Willingly!â
Wyll laughs loudly at the sudden excitement in your voice. You havenât let go of his hand, he notices.Â
He hopes you donât.
âQuite an impressive feat, certainly. But I am a little hurt. Does our bond not incite a similar sense of accomplishments and vigor in you?â He teases.
You pretend to consider it.Â
âThe Blade of Frontiers, my most important companion.â You respond, with just as much cheekiness. âCalling it an accomplishment might be too egotistical.âÂ
âWhat else do you suppose youâd call it?âÂ
âFate, maybe,â You say, though your voice is hardly above a murmur now. âSomehow, the fact weâve met feels more like a very lucky chance, I reckon.âÂ
âYou feel so strongly about it?â Wyll says, more than asks. Because somehow it feels too much like a dream.Â
âOf course. I feel strongly about you in general,â You respond, and still donât let go of his hand. You say it like itâs the most obvious thing in the world âI feel strongly about us. And all weâve seen, together. I feel strongly that regardless of all the darkness, the moon waits for me and that Iâm very lucky to have met you.â
Wyll feels his heart jump into his throat. Hardly a confession, yet his heart pounds. The longing is ceaseless.Â
In all the time youâve spent together, Wyll has had all the time in the world to witness you. In your bravery and in your cowardice. At the best of yourself, and at the worst. Wyll has seen you lie when youâd rather be honest. Heâs seen you cry countlessly for the deaths of people youâve never known. Heâs seen you tear through flesh and bone. Heâs seen you as a furred creature laid on your back so Halsin would rub your stomach. Heâs seen you as tenderly, achingly human.Â
Wyll has seen so much of you. And perhaps more than that - you have seen so much of him. Parts of himself even he has no access to. A passing comment of how dashing his horns look, a pat on the shoulder when you pass a father and son. You see Wyll even when he forgets to see himself.Â
Between you, there is no question that he is lucky. The luckiest man on Toril.Â
âYou know, when everything is through. Not if, but when,â Wyll says slowly and carefully. âI want to remain by your side. Wherever that road leads. I want us to be together or travel together. Though I donât know what that would look like,âÂ
You give him a look of surprise, then a teasing smile - titling your head to one side.Â
âI might go somewhere you donât want to follow, Ravengard. Iâm a wanderer at heart.âÂ
âImpossible. Iâve already followed you here, remember?â Wyll says with a smile, eyes meeting yours âAs long as weâre together, no place is too dark nor too treacherous.âÂ
âIâll hold you to that.âÂ
âThereâd be no greater honor.âÂ
__Â
When Myrkul falls, the world is silent.Â
For a first time, in a long time - the Shadowfell lands do not whisper the regrets of the dead. Instead, the remaining shadow swallowing the world begins to finally clear. In gradual steps, life returns to the land at Moonrise.Â
And this is in no small part thanks to you.Â
Though, Wyll watches you as you insist the glory is split between your party equally. Youâre all heroes, and you couldnât have done it without them by your side. Wyll knows you mean that.
 It was you who took down the foes at Moonrise towers in slow increments, that planned and slaughtered until there was nothing left of it. It was you who destroyed the Thorms one by one. You who allowed Wyll to break Mizoraâs pact. You who completed the gauntlet of Shar, who saved the Nightsong with your own two hands. That helped Astarion with the letters on his back, and that prevented Gale from using his orb - because you were so certain you all could win without it.Â
It was your touch and kindness that gave Shadowheart grace enough to throw away her Sharran roots, to throw away her past and embrace her own convictions just like you had promised to embrace yours.Â
The world has not been saved. The journey to the end has only become more perilous. But in the palm of your hand is the Netherstone of the fallen general - and an entire allegiance waiting to follow you into battle. The world has not been saved, and it is only bound to get more treacherous.Â
But for now, youâve accomplished something great - and Wyll is proud to be alongside you for all of the rest, as you move onto things even greater.Â
For now, all of you remain at camp. A two day extended break before venturing towards the city. Among your camp now is the famed harper Jaehira and more importantly - Dame Aylin, the chosen of your goddess. And the cleric Isobel, her lover, of course.
Dame Aylinâs arrival at your camp has sparked plenty of interesting conversations. Revelations of Shadowheartâs identity aside (something youâve been helping her through), Dame Aylin is not just a fellow Selunite - but the daughter of your beloved goddess. Not only have you just saved her life, youâve freed her from thousands of years of torment.Â
Wyll doesnât think heâs ever seen you so utterly awe-struck in your adventure together, even once. Youâre a hard person to shake in many ways, and youâre excitable - but nearly never truly awestruck like the way you have been for the last two days.Â
Wyll is listening in on the interaction from afar, only taking small peeks at you as you, Shadowheart, Dame Aylin and Isobel crowd around in your tent. Your tail is swishing so helplessly behind you Wyll canât help but laugh.
âGod. Youâve been staring like a dumb puppy for two days now,â Shadowheart teases, rubbing your head with her hand âYouâre going to catch flies with your jaw like that.âÂ
âAh, Iâm sorry,â You say, a little embarrassed. Wyll smiles to himself as he pretends to read, thankful to be in earshot âIâm sorry, Iâm just⊠It was already nice meeting another Selunite butâŠI could live a thousand lives and not meet you Miss Aylin.âÂ
âYour formality is misplaced. Aylin is just fine. We are comrades in all regards, both in our faith and in arms. Iâm thankful youâve given us a place to stay for the time being,âÂ
âCamp welcomes all as policy. It helps to have allies and in lands like these, seems a little cruel to leave people to the wilds. Though soon that wonât be an issue,âÂ
âYouâve accomplished something incredible,â Isobel praises. Wyll glances at you, a warmth settling in his chest at the surprise you seem to feel. âLifting the curse from these lands, it was no small task.âÂ
âIt was all of our contribution! Iâm just glad weâre a little bit closer to getting rid of these pests.â You lament with a dramatic sigh âAnd Iâm excited to be in a place where I can feel the presence of the moon again.âÂ
âIt must be hard on you,â Isobel says sympathetically. You smile.Â
âI can hardly imagine,â Aylin adds, shaking her head. âThere is perhaps some small blessing in the fact youâre gifted with control, but the effects that these lands must have on your body. May She ease your burden.âÂ
Shadowheart gives you a look of confusion. âYou know, youâve mentioned this to me before - but I donât actually know how it affects your conditions,â Her frown deepens. âA little hypocritical given how much you know about me at this point, I think.âÂ
You look surprised then flattered. âIt was never worth mentioning. My body has certain cycles that are affected by the moon. Similar to the tide. After 6 tendays, I go through something like.. a fever as a result of a full moon. Though Iâve been suppressing it with medication, my body at a certain point needs to expel it.âÂ
âA fever?â
This catches Wyllâs attention. Youâve mentioned your condition in passing and always left the details vague (something Wyll is extra aware of given your love of being open in most everything) so this is the most heâs ever heard about it. He stops turning pages and tunes in completely.Â
âSort of. The details arenât important, really. Iâve gone through it for years, so Iâm more than used to it. Especially on the road,â You explain, waving your hand. âSilver Lady bless me, I donât think itâll begin until weâre in the city at least. Near civilization and all.âÂ
âDo you need anything from us?â Shadowheart probes with obv. Lately when it comes to you, she doesnât bother feigning indifference.Â
âNo, itâs okay. Iâm used to it! I was going to mention it though soon, so I guess itâs a good thing it came up,â You lean back on your palms, legs crossed as you close your eyes. âIâll be gone for about a tenday. Iâll leave my tent here and just pack some essentials and fuck off to the woods. Like I said, Iâve been doing it for years.âÂ
Shadowhearts frown deepens, as does Wylls.Â
âThat was then and this is now. Youâre a rather wanted individual, will that be safe? A tenday of solo travel?âÂ
You give Shadowheart a delighted look before tackling her with a hug. She almost topples over but manages to keep herself upright as you hug and nuzzle her. She doesnât push you off in any case. You laugh warmly, resting your chin on her shoulder.Â
âYouâre really worried about me? Little old me? Have you opened your heart to me after all?â You say through a giggle, earning a few laughs from Dame Aylin and Isobel. You finally pull away to look at her. âI promise I will be completely fine. My senses around that time are extremely heightened. Iâm feverish but itâs very difficult to catch me off-guard enough for some kind of ambush. Worst case scenario, I shift and run away.âÂ
Shadowheart does not seem comforted by this. Wyll feels the same, thankful sheâs being so adamant about it.Â
âI donât like those odds,â She says with her arms crossed. âIs there no one you can bring with you?âÂ
When she says that, you turn to Wyll. Your eyes lock briefly. You look a little startled, but relax once you realize that itâs him. Wyll is a little startled too, embarrassed by his own staring. He can only hope you didnât notice how obviously he was moments prior. You take a minute to consider him, your gaze raking over him. Itâs a split second, barely noticeable - but afterwards you flush. It happens so quickly that Wyll wonders if heâs imagined the entire thing.Â
You laugh and Wyll swears it sounds nervous.Â
âI get a littleâŠaggressive during that time.â You say dismissively. âItâs best to leave me to my own devices. I promise you I will be perfectly fine.âÂ
âI donât know how much I believe that, but Iâll try to put my faith in you. Donât make me worry while these damn parasites are still in our heads.â
You throw your head back and laugh brilliantly.
âIâll make it back to you in one piece,â You say, holding your pinky out. Shadowheart hooks her own into yours with a blush. âI promise on the Moonmaiden herself.âÂ
Shadowheart sighs, resting her head on your shoulder. Your smile grows ten sizes.Â
âYou better.âÂ
__
The journey, of course, does not get any easier.Â
Youâve barely made it to Rivington. Barely. Not only have you had to fight off a camp of hateful githyanki and earned the ire of an alien goddess - youâve just found out the person protecting you is a mindflayer.Â
After a tremendous amount of difficult information launched at the lot of you, youâve managed to regain your bearings (some kind of miracle, Wyll thinks). Youâve made it to Rivington. Finally.Â
Hells. What a troublesome situation.Â
Youâve been in Rivington for a few days now, though you havenât made it far. After being at the circus and a somewhat harrowing fight with a shapeshifting clown, you decide to put up for the night. Before nightfall, you announced to everyone at camp that youâd be disappearing for your supposed fever. You can feel it coming on, and by the time it starts - traveling will be difficult.Â
Everyone has had their own way of fussing over you. Gale has given you some scrolls of his own curation. Astarion silently handed you one of his favorite daggers and a pack of expensive arrows. Laeâzel has given you some potions, testing your reflexes with you before your disappearance. Shadowheart gives you as many healing potions as she can, and her blessing with the help of Dame Aylin. Karlach has little to offer you in terms of things, instead knocking your heads together and telling you to scream as loud as you can if anything happens - and sheâll come running no matter what happens. Halsin has dried some food for you ahead of time, ever the planning kind.Â
Wyll only gives you a long look of concern. Most of the conversation between you is had with eyes, a soft glance meeting a concerned one. With Wyll, you hold his hand and assure him that youâll be fine - and to take care of them in your short absence. You hug him extra tight before you leave.Wyll is forced to let you disappear.Â
Itâs really not like Wyll to be so invasive on another person's business. He knows he can be a busybody when it comes to helping someone but for the most part - heâll respect a person's wishes. If someone doesnât want intervention, itâs not Wyllâs place to force it on them. He's learned from experience that sometimes it makes the situation worse.Â
But shit, the worry has been eating Wyll alive. He could hardly sit still in the brief two hours you had disappeared. The rest of the party have regrouped in your absence. Gale, Astarion, Shadowheart and Laeâzel - while Karlach and Wyll planned to stay behind. Wyll had wanted to go but Astarion wouldnât allow him. Said his pining would get in the way of everything. Heâs off his game, and itâs best to wait till you return.Â
Itâs getting closer to evening, the sun beginning to set. Wyll just canât sit still. Thereâs no way a tenday is going to pass like this without Wyll effectively losing his mind.Â
Just as the sky begins to be painted orange, Wyll troubles Shadowheart in the middle of her meditations.Â
One of her eyes opens as she breaks her concentration, an amused smile showing on her face.Â
âThat was quick,â She says first, looking up at Wyll from where sheâs kneeled. âI thought youâd wait at least a day,âÂ
âPardon?âÂ
Shadowheart laughs. âOh, to chase them down I mean. I knew it was going to happen eventually, but this is a little fast even for you, Ravengard.âÂ
Wyll doesnât know how to feel about that.Â
âMy apologies for being predictable,â Wyll says with a sigh. âBut since you were anticipating it, I have to ask if you know anything. Where theyâd be. Anything.âÂ
âThis is exactly why they didnât tell you, you know? Not that Iâm not worried about them too,â Shadowheart says with a sigh. âBut they were clear. They need a tenday alone.âÂ
Wyll looks at her. âIâve never been like this before, either. I donât understand it, but I havenât been able to take my mind off it despite my efforts. Regardless of what you tell me, it seems like Iâm going to follow them,âÂ
âOh, please,â Shadowheart says, standing up and dusting herself off as she looks at him directly âYou donât know why? Donât you think itâs time to be a little more honest with yourself, Wyll? I mean really.â
Wyll widens his eyes, a little taken aback by it. He flushes, rubbing the back of his neck with his palm. He scrunches his brow a bit, unsure of what to say to defend himself.Â
âWell, I am aware of why, I suppose. But itâs,â He fumbles in the process of trying to say anything sensible. âItâs new.. I didnât think I was this sort of person. Something along those lines. Itâs not that I donât have confidence in them, but this isnât something they need to endure alone.âÂ
âNot when youâre there for them, Iâm guessing,âÂ
Wyll smiles a little sheepishly. âYes. I respect their privacy. Iâll turn back if they ask me too,âÂ
âOh, donât worry, that was easy enough to figure out.â Shadowheart teases. Wyll covers his face. Is he a schoolboy, being teased about his crush like this? How ridiculous. âAt least you know.âÂ
He sighs.
âWill you at least tell me what you know?âÂ
âIâm still thinking about it.â Shadowheart says thoughtfully. She makes an exaggerated gesture of contemplating the situation before shrugging. âHm. You know, Iâve entered a totally new chapter of my life - so, out of the kindness of my heart Iâll tell you what I know.âÂ
âThank you.â Wyll says truly grateful. Shadowheart gives him what Wyll thinks of as a semi-fond smile. He hopes this means she approves of whatever is going on. You two are close as ever, so it does matter to Wyll how she feels about it.Â
âThey were rather vague about the situation,â Shadowheart says honestly. âBut they did tell me the direction they were going to travel. Thereâll be marks in the trees so they can make their way back if something happens. If you can find where they started, it should be easy enough to find where they end up. Thatâs all I know. Good luck.âÂ
âThank you, Shadowheart.âÂ
âOh and, go pack some things of your own before you go. Just in case you end up staying.âÂ
âRight. Iâll do that now.âÂ
âIâll let everyone know so leave as soon as you can.âÂ
âIt looks like I'll be owing you quite a few favors.â Wyll offers. Shadowheart smiles.Â
âOf course. Nothing in life is free. But go, shoo. You should go before it gets too dark.âÂ
Wyll gives her one last look of gratitude before hurrying to prepare a pack.Â
__Â
Wyll barely makes it before the darkness settles in.Â
Thereâs enough moonlight to guide him through the tricky paths of the forest. Let the record show, Wyll has no idea how youâve navigated through here. Like Shadowheart had promised him - the trees began to be marked once Wyll found your paw prints on the ground. On each tree was a the slashing of a sharp dagger.Â
Despite the clear path you laid out, the terrain is utterly unforgiving for the longest time. Had the signs of you not been in front of him, Wyll wouldâve given up on the affair. This is saying something, because his time as the Blade of Frontiers was far from a life of luxury.Â
Itâs difficult but the promise of Wyllâs good eye laying its gaze on you is enough to push him through to the end of the journey.Â
Eventually, eventually - the path clears. The trees start to become sparse and the area starts to flatten to something walkable. The dirt hardens underneath his feet and his muscles no longer drag.Â
Before Wyll lays eyes on you, he hears you.Â
Thereâs a campfire, and the shelter of a borrowed tent. Youâve laid out plenty of old rags and bedsheets - layers and layers of dusty fabric and old pillows giving you a cushion from where youâre curled up on a tree.Â
Before Wyll can see you in the faint glow of fire, the only thing his mind can pay attention to is the sound of your voice.Â
A pained whimper, so loud and high pitched - Wyll is shocked he didnât hear it some distance ago. Youâre practically shaking, short snarls and desperate yowls between hard pants.You sound like youâre suffering something grave. Itâs nothing heâs ever heard in your time together, despite the horrific injuries youâve endured. Even at near death, Wyll has never heard more than labored breathing and groans.Â
Itâs pure distress, so broken it rings in his ears. His concern grows ten sizes.Â
He decides then that no matter what you tell him, he wonât be able to go back to camp to leave you alone.Â
He fights the urge with his body to run towards you, remembering the state youâre in. Prone to aggression and high-alert, Wyll forces himself to approach you slowly.Â
As soon as heâs within range of you, your entire body lurches forward to sit up. Your eyes open, wide and nearly feral - searching erratically. Wyll pauses, no longer in a soft crouch. He stands to full attention. When you finally look at him, your chest shakes with an exhale. You lean back against the tree behind you where youâre curled, shaking.Â
âFuck,â You cover your nose first, pressing your arm against it as you curl away from him instinctively. Wyll feels a mix of guilt and worry. âFuck, what in the Hells are you doing here? Was it Shadowheart? Evenâeven though I told her,âÂ
He moves in just a step closer. âI asked her. But I intended to find you even if you didnât tell me. Iâm sorry. I couldnât stop thinking about what might happen,âÂ
âShit, donât get any closer. I-Iâm already, shit,â You hold up a hand, though your entire body is fragile. Weak, even from this distance. âDonât move. You,â Another labored breath âGo back.âÂ
Wyll stills, but doesnât budge. His frown deepens. âYou donât have to endure this alone,â He steps closer. âIâm here for you,âÂ
âItâs not aboutâfuck,â You curl into yourself, turning your face away from him. âItâs n-not about that. Not personal. You need to get out of here, Wyll, please. Please listen to me and, and go.âÂ
Wyll wants to ask how he could leave you in this condition, but the desperation in your voice stops him. He feels uncertain, but his body - his mind, wonât listen to him.
âTell me whatâs happening to you,â Wyll pleads. He wants to run to you. He hates seeing you in this much pain. He wants to hold you, his heart is practically pounding. âAre you in pain?âÂ
Your expression strains, but you force your gaze towards him. Your eyes are wide. They shine with water and wetness, your tearstained expression landing on his face.Â
âFuck, Wyll, you - Iâm in heat. So d-donât come any closer. Go, goâplease, Iâm begging.â
Heat. Wyll knows little about the cycles of werewolves. But he knows about wolves, and other animals at least. Heat. A period of heightened sexual reception during mating season. Wyll pauses, then blinks. His stomach drops, heart quickening.Â
Shit. Shit.Â
âYouâre inâŠheat.âÂ
âY-yes. And it lasts for a tenday, so you need to listen to me and get out of here. Now.âÂ
Wyll doesnât move.Â
âWould,â Wyll swallows the thick feeling in his throat. âIf someone else had come. Would you have,âÂ
He hardly knows what heâs asking. But it seems you do, because you open your eyes - in utter distress and shake your head.Â
ïżœïżœïżœNo,â You shake your head and hold your breath, trying to calm yourself as you breathe. You focus on breathing only out of your mouth. âJust you.â You close your eyes again and continue to tremble. âPlease. Please go, Wyll.âÂ
He comes closer. Your voice croaks as you try to shout at him, though the words are too faint to be called that. Nonthreatening and utterly desperate.Â
âNo, no, noâplease,â Your words become a sob, and Wyll feels his heart start to crack a little. âYou donât understand. It h-hurts. If you get too close, if youââÂ
âWhat is it?â He gets close enough to be within real range of you. Thereâs only a few feet of distance between you. Wyll kneels so heâs not looming over you, looking over you with concern. âWhatâs wrong?âÂ
You shake and shake and shake, closing your eyes - tearing your gaze away from him. Your lower lips waver, both hands covering your face as you cry.Â
âYour s-scent,â You heave, trying to push back against the tree. âItâll make me want to t-touch you. And I canât. I canât andâI want too. So badly, youâre so close, please stay away. Itâs cruel, so cruel to me,âÂ
Wyll feels his own voice almost give out. Seeing you like this. So desperate. Needy. The guilt is outweighed by another feeling he chooses not to name.
âYou can touch me,â He assures.Â
You sob.Â
âNot just touch. Wyll, please, go.âÂ
âHells,â He comes closer towards you and you flinch. âIâm not so clueless. I know what you meant. Itâs alright.âÂ
Your eyes flicker open in disbelief.Â
âYou,â You look at him through teary eyes. âI-itâs important to you to... With someone you love. Not like this.âÂ
âGods, who else but you? I love you,â Wyll says with his own voice nearly shot. Your eyes widen in disbelief. âOf course I love you. I want to be with you for the rest of our lives.âÂ
âWyll,â You sob for a different reason this time. âI love you. I w-want you, I want you.âÂ
âTell me. Can I touch you?â
âPlease,â Youâre so tender like this. Wyll has never seen it in his life. Itâd be unimaginable, had he not witnessed.Â
Strong and capable and brave and rowdy - reduced to a fragile, pleading mess.Â
Wyll doesnât know how to touch you. If he were more honest with himself in the moment - more sensible, heâd admit this to you in a quiet secret. He doesnât have room for doubt now, so Wyll is gentle when he reaches for you. He pulls your wrists from where theyâre glued to you, unfurls your form slowly and looks closely at your face. He guides your hands around his neck and brings you towards him. With slow, careful maneuvering - he sits down with you.Â
Holding you in his embrace, he brings you into his lap - sitting where you once were. Until youâre over his own, resting your full weight against his. Your knees rest on either side of his thighs, straddling him. You look at Wyll from above, your lower lip still quivering.Â
âItâs alright,â He says, hands on your waist but not moving âTake what you need,âÂ
With a wordless whimper, you grab the fabric of Wyllâs clothing, light armor that he changed into before leaving - tight enough he can feel the tension in fabric. You lean in, your eyes shut tightly and press your nose along the side of his neck. Wyll can feel you bump against this jaw. He tilts his head back to give you more access to him. His body is hot with your sudden proximity, your own skin completely feverish from need. You inhale, so deeply and so wantonly Wyll doesnât know what else to do other than sit and let you.Â
The thought passes. Like a mutt. Like a puppy. You breathe Wyll in like itâs the only thing keeping you alive, grinding instinctively on his lap. Something that he overlooks for the sake of being the sane one between you.Â
âYou,â Your voice has calmed down a fair bit, though it's just as thick as it was before. âShit, itâs so good.â Â
Your grip on his clothes tighten. Wyll rubs a soothing hand on your waist, still over your clothes. You continue it, taking deep breaths of him like a life-line until your grip starts to loosen. Youâre no longer shaking at least. You pull away from him with wet pleading eyes, butting your forehead with his. Wyll winces, but bites back a smile at you once he realizes youâre a tad bit more sobered up.Â
âWhat in the hells are you doing here?â You interrogate.
âAre you alright?â Wyll says, ignoring your first question. âHas it gone down?âÂ
âIt comes in waves. The first wave has passed, but the second one will hit soon enough. Five minutes if I had to guess,â You say, shaking your head. You fix your gaze on him. Wyll suddenly becomes aware of your proximity (or lack thereof). âWhy are you here, Wyll?âÂ
âWhy? A better question is how could I not be here?â Wyll says carefully, examining your every expression. âAn ominous sickness, traveling alone for an entire tenday when weâve all spent our entire journey together. Iâm sorry if Iâve offended you, but I couldnât sit back quietly while I was so worried for your safety.âÂ
âLike I told you and everyone else, Iâm fine. Iâve been handling heats alone since I started puberty. Itâs not a very pretty sight,â You pout shyly. Wyll finds it utterly adorable. âAnd well, itâs not like I can announce to everyone Iâm in literal heat. Fever is easier.âÂ
âIâm sorry if Iâve invaded your privacy. If I had known,â He clears his throat, looking away from you âIf I had known it was something like this, I wouldâve approached it more delicately.âÂ
âMy brain is too heat-addled to be properly embarrassed, which is lucky - because Iâm definitely going to be pissed when this is over.â You say, clutching the front of his shirt again. âEverything is all out of order now.âÂ
âWhy do you say that?âÂ
âYouâre the one going on about keeping things old school, you know.âÂ
âWell yes. But itâs not for any reason so rigid,â Wyll reaches his hand to cup your cheek, his thumb brushing underneath your eyes. âThese sorts of affairs are more enchanting when the love is there. Thatâs the part that matters.âÂ
âYouâre not disappointed that the first time weâre touching each other is because Iâm this desperate to touch you?âÂ
âI just like being able to hold you. For any reason at all,â Wyll says honestly, then adds. âAnd well, if I were to be frank, seeing you in this state is⊠rousing. In its own right.âÂ
You flush, and mumble. âPervert.âÂ
He forgives the comment just as youâve forgiven him for his intrusion. He looks at you tenderly, heart swelling so much itâs almost overflowing.Â
âWill you allow me to stay by your side?âÂ
âThis goes on for a tenday. And it doesnât get any easier. Do you really know what youâre asking? Do you have that kind of stamina?âÂ
Wyll smiles at you. He wants to kiss you.Â
âAround something as enticing as you, stamina should pose no issue.â He flirts.Â
âGods, Wyll - whereâd you learn to talk like that?âÂ
He smiles cheekily. âEsoteric erotica novels from my fathers chambers, mostly. Overhearing things at Sharesses Caress helped too.âÂ
You giggle a little bit. This time youâre the one leaning into him.Â
âThe waves will get longer and more intense. They peak around the fourth day and begin to mellow out at the start of the fifth,â You give him a look before looking away, profusely embarrassed. âUhm. The only thing that soothes it is, well, you know. I mean I get really⊠I cry a lot.âÂ
Wyll doesnât communicate to you the fact he knows. He did just see after all, and itâs not like he particularly enjoys seeing you suffer. Heâs not that sort of man, but. He likes taking care of you, in all aspects. Youâve had to take care of yourself for so long. It feels good that heâs allowed into something that youâve kept private all this time.Â
Itâs fair if heâs a little cocky about it, he thinks.Â
âYou can show me everything about yourself and I wonât turn my gaze away from you. Nothing could make me look away,âÂ
You pout again. Wyll notices you do it when youâre feeling especially embarrassed. He opts not to say anything, just smiles.Â
You take a deep, shaky breath. âItâs going to start again soon. Everything is fine with me, justâstay close. Close enough that I can tuck into you.â
âSomething to do with my scent, I suppose? I am curious to know what.âÂ
âWell I like you. And itâs comforting. But it turns me on, too. Especially like this.â
âAnd thatâs why you were pushing me away earlier?âÂ
You nod, taking a deep breath. Your voice regains that sweet, thick quality that Wyll is beginning to recognize as desire.
âMm. Iâm a lot stronger than you a-and my heads not very clear,â You shake your head as you explain this to him. âIt wouldâve..haah..been painful. Really.âÂ
âSo it has that kind of effect on you,â Wyll concludes. Your eyes are lidded. Youâre overwhelmed. Itâs an interesting position. As far as Wyllâs concerned, he probably only smells like forest right now. He looks at the way youâre shaking like a leaf, then continues âI have that kind of effect on you,âÂ
âYes,â You huff, leaning against him again. Your head on his shoulder, nose brushing against his skin. Heâs sweating from the journey up. He canât really wrap his mind around what it could be that you like so much about him or how he smells. âFuck, yes - you do.âÂ
Itâs an odd position to be in. Wyll is a righteous man but the thoughts that swarm him now are anything but. Thereâs nothing foreign about being wanted. His time as the Blade of Frontiers has had him propositioned for such affairs more times than he can remember.Â
No ones ever been desperate for him, though. Youâve never been desperate about anything. Youâre emotional and light-hearted and wise and kind. Not desperate. Never that.Â
Except right now, youâre looking up at him with your pupils blown wide and your lower lip shaking. Thereâs sweat dripping down the crown of your head. Your ears are perked up, your whole body tense with need. Youâre practically intoxicated above him, and Wyll canât help but feel something less than heroic about it.Â
âIâm hardly half the man I claim to be,â Wyll says, a little dazed. âYou make me forget myself. My virtue.âÂ
âWhatâs virtue to love, Ravengard?â You lean in closer to him, your noses brushing. It must be coming again, the next wave. âYouâre just Wyll to me, remember? Not a paragon of decency.â Your face is close. Your lips are close. Tempting. âTouch me. Or make love to me, if youâd prefer to call it that.â
It feels like thereâs no air in Wyllâs lungs. Not enough to take a breath. He cups the nape of your neck with his hand, and your skin is so hot it nearly burns. Youâre feverish, and sweaty - when Wyll touches you, you react right away. He stares at you. Everything feels distant, far-away. How many times have the two of you been like this? How many times have you nearly crossed this threshold before retreating back into each other?Â
Wyll can think of one hundred times heâs thought of kissing you. When youâre covered in blood and gore, when you smile, when the sun through the trees makes your fur look shiny and beautiful, when Astarion pets you, when you hug Karlach for the first time. He can compile every time the urge has come over him.Â
It feels unreal to kiss you now, after all that.Â
You open your mouth slightly, a choked moan passing through your lips as Wyll presses his own to yours. Yours are soft. The first thing he notices is the shape of your teeth, the sharp edge of your fangs - protruding and clumsy. None of it matters. Nothing matters except you and this.Â
Youâre huffy and eager when Wyll kisses you. A slow peck at first before he pulls away, delighted by the way you chase his mouth. Then again with your mouth open a little wider, panting hotly as you urge Wyll to give you a little more. Your hands are gripping his armor again, tight enough to rip the material. Youâre too drunk on your own need, to notice anything about anything.Â
Itâs something about you - something about you Wyll has known since forever. You get lost in things, in fights or in books that Gale reads. Sometimes you just give up thinking entirely and let your instinct guide you. And it makes enough sense, youâre a werewolf - part hungry animal by blood. Of course your baser instinct feels more natural.Â
Itâs not very kind to think, but Wyll isnât saying it to be unkind. He likes it. He likes that you think with your heart less than your head. He likes when you give into the most animal parts of you.Â
Wyll is not in the same place as you. His head is meant to be clear. Heâs seemingly sober for this affair.Â
But his body betrays his mind so quickly itâs laughable.Â
He doesnât really know what to do with himself. All of the blood in his body is running hot, and all of it floods south more quickly than he can control it. Before he knows what heâs doing, his hands are clasping around your waist and heâs kissing you deeper. He lets his tongue brush yours, lets his teeth sink into the plush of your lower lips. He sucks and bites and licks as you breathe each other in.
You kiss Wyll until your lips are swollen, chest heaving as you pull away from each other. Thereâs something juvenile about the affair, enough to make you laugh even in the state youâre in. And Wyll laughs too, stares at your expression only illuminated by moonlight.Â
âI love you,â Wyll repeats. Youâre startled by it this time. âGods, I love you.âÂ
Your voice is thick. âI love you too. Touch me, please.âÂ
âHow should I touch you my love?âÂ
âHowever you want. As long as you touch me.âÂ
âHowever I want,â Wyll says contemplatively. Heâs quick to maneuver you both to the ground when he says this. A little closer to the warmth of the fire, on the sheets and pillows youâve set up underneath you both. You look up at him wide-eyed as your back touches the ground. âYou should choose your words carefully. I may take you up on making love.âÂ
You wrap your legs around his waist and pull him down to you.
âDo it before I lose my mind anymore,âÂ
Wyll laughs playfully against your skin.
The act of undressing each other is unceremonious. Wyll peels the padded armor off his body, leaving him in trousers. He helps you out of your own clothes. Heâs seen you naked more than once, but never for this. For him. He studies the way your muscles fall, the hair on your skin. Various scars. Everything for him to gaze on.Â
Your own hand reaches up to his neck, on his shoulder as your mouth falls open. âYouâre so attractive. Do you know?âÂ
He laughs. âIt doesnât hurt to hear you tell me.âÂ
You seem eager to admire his body. Wyll doesnât stop you. Your palms are much smoother than heâd think of them to be, as they plane over the expanse of his muscled chest. You let your fingers drift over raised scars on abdomen, over his nipples and down his abdomen. Wyll feels his cock twitch unhelpfully. You must notice the same because your eyes light up. Your hand reaches even further, even lower - cupping the hard outline of his length. He hisses through his teeth.Â
âYouâreâŠâ You mumble, squeezing again. âFor me,âÂ
âYouâre beautiful,â Wyll says. You flush.Â
âNothing you havenât seen before,â Your voice is almost petulant.Â
âAnd Iâve longed for you since that very momentâÂ
Your pout deepens before you brush Wyllâs hand with yours.Â
âYou can do the same for me.â
Wyll stares at you before leaning back down to kiss you. He doesnât linger at your mouth, chaste pecks that pave the path for Wyll to worship the rest of you. He wants to worship every inch. He lets his lips leave kisses all over your face. He kisses the scars along your skin, the corner of your mouth, your eyelids.Â
His tongue laves down your jaw until heâs at your neck. You breathe unsteadily as he continues down to the column of your throat. Wyll is gentle. He doesnât bite. He steadies his hands at your waist and only kisses. Presses his face to your skin and pricks you with his want. Itâs slower than you want, he can tell from how your legs are wrapped helplessly around his waist.Â
Your lower-half is grinding against him, against air - anything you can find. Little shameless mewls and so much squirming. Wyll knows youâre needy, and he is too - but this is your first time together.Â
He couldnât do anything but savor it no matter how much you whined. Right now you are his, hidden from the moon. From the camp.Â
You are his and he will take you apart as he pleases.Â
âPlease,â You whine, taking a deep breath of him again. You inhale, nudging the parts of him available to him. âPlease.âÂ
A little mercifully, he gives you a little more. He grabs your hips and positions you better over his cock. He moves his hands from your waist to squeeze the soft flesh of your breasts. He licks the salt of your skin, meeting your movements.Â
âI know, I know. Endure it,â He says, pressing a kiss to your sternum. âIndulge me.âÂ
You bite back your complaint. Youâre forgiving as always.
His mouth closes around your nipples, hard under his tongue. Your spine arches, but Wyll pushes you down and steadies you. His other hand squeezes the one he isnât servicing, thumb drawing over your nipples. He gauges your breathing as he tries different motions until settling on rolling it with his thumb. The right thing to do, if your reaction is anything to go by.Â
He feels something against the seam of his pants when he goes between them, pleasuring you. A wetness where his cock meets your clothed sex. One that soaks underneath two layers of clothes. He looks up at you, wide-eyed.Â
Youâre unaware of anything. Too busy in the chase of pleasure.Â
He wonders if itâs a result of your heat. He doesnât know anything about them aside from the fact it happens and it makes you like this - but what it does to your body is still foreign to him. His cock is throbbing hard enough to make him light-headed. He tries to approach this with a light hand and patience.Â
But shit, the way youâre searching for it is too arousing. Youâre seeking an orgasm so desperately, all little rutting twitches and uneven movements. The first of the tears start to form on your lower lashes. Your eyelashes are wet. Fat tears drip down your cheeks, falling down the side of your face. Wyll is less concerned than you would be if you hadnât told him that you would cry - but gods.Â
âYouâre a mess,â He says with an absent fondness. You whine and nod in agreement. Wyll is lucky to witness this, he realizes too late. âIs it painful?âÂ
Your voice is scratchy from crying. âAches. Aches so much, need more, please. Trying to be patient but it aches.âÂ
He hums to himself, undoes the death grip your legs have on his waist before starting to kiss a path down to your navel. Itâs clear you make an attempt to ask him what heâs doing, but the words cut off when you realize heâs getting closer to where you need.Â
Youâre holding your breath, your hands curled at your sides like you donât know what to do with them. Youâve never been so uncertain in front of him. You help slide your bottoms off - everything in one go. Your knees are bent in the air, covering where Wyll is most keen to see you. He kisses your calves.Â
âNothing I havenât seen before, remember?âÂ
You take a deep breath and lay your feet flat on the ground, spreading your legs enough to give Wyll a perfect view. Heâs always tried not to look, but now he canât stop staring. A thick layer of hair covers your cunt. His hands shake as he pulls you forward to look closer, and your own hands go to cover your face.Â
âI can feel you breathe,â You whisper, and Wyll laughs. Heâs still looking, examining you closely. He uses his fingers to pull you apart, awestruck by you. Youâre so wet itâs dripping, pulsing helplessly without Wyll touching you at all. The sheet underneath you darkens with arousal. Your clit is throbbing with need, all fluttery. âStop looking,âÂ
Wyll does what any gentleman would do. He pulls away, his hands settling on your thighs - and starts to kiss all the way up from the inside of your knee. He does it on both sides, before finally kissing your clit tucked away underneath everything. Your breath hitches, stomach tensing.
âTell me where you feel it. Let me learn you.âÂ
âHicc,â You nod soft and sweet. âOkay,âÂ
Wyll smiles against you.Â
For as much as Wyll puts on a show, the first time he actually tastes you exceed all expectations. The loss of composure is nearly instant. His fingers dig into the plush of your thighs as he lets the weight of his tongue drag through your folds, arousal collecting on the tip. Your reaction comes just as quick.Â
âFuck,â You cry out. Wyll feels your hands reach for him, a pleasant noise escaping him as you grip onto his horns. Heâs never thought to touch them before. A feeling of electricity creeps up his back as your hands hold tight around the base of them.âWyll, fuck - there,âÂ
He gets the message quick enough, laying his tongue flat on the hardened bundle of nerves. Your clit pulses for him. You taste heady and sweet, coating his entire mouth as he continues to eat. You guide him here and there - soft whispers of lower and higher until he ends up in the place you need.Â
âThat,â Your grip on his horns gets tighter as you grind yourself down on his tongue. Wyll feels his cock stiff against his stomach from where he lays. âLike that,â
He gives you more pressure as he licks your clit, sorting out a rhythm as he focuses his attention on one part of you. He wants to make you cum like this. Youâre sensitive enough to do it. Your clit thrums as your mind goes muddy. Your body movements change as he continues to push you closer and closer to your high. Heâs starting to understand what makes you tick.Â
Wyll is a quick learner after all, dexterous and clever.Â
Muscles clenching, your mouth falls open - eyes barely open as you moan. âOh, oh, oh,âÂ
Wyll laps you up like ambrosia. He pulls away when you start to get close, ignoring your complaints. He wants to savor it now that he knows how to get you to the edge, so he does. He buries himself deeper into you, his nose bumping against your mound with every pass he makes over your slit. Your body is unbelievably sensitive. He dips his tongue into your tight hole and you nearly lurch forward with need.Â
He starts a back and forth, going from licking long stripes along your slit determined not to let anything go to waste - back to focusing on where you need him most. He doesnât mean to put you on edge so many times, no longer thinking clearly.Â
You beg Wyll to make you cum by the time heâs back to reality, grabbing his horns hard enough to make him look at you.Â
âMake me cum, please - canât take it anymore, Wyll, please, fuck,âÂ
He hums against your sex before refocusing his attention. One last time he takes your throbbing clit into his mouth, lets it slide against his tongue and sucks on it. This time he relents to your need, and doesn't stop for any reason. He lets it build and build and build until he hears your voice break.Â
Your back starts to arch, body going taut like a bowstring. Wyll hums against you, he wants to praise you but his mouth is busy.Â
Then the thought occurs to him. It takes a little focus to reach your mind, and this is by all means - a terrible reason to use your shared connection.Â
âYouâre doing so well, starlight,â Wyll praises. Your eyes widen as you realize just how heâs doing it, a debauched and shocked moan tearing itself from your mouth âBeautiful. Sorry for teasing you. Can you cum for me? I want you to feel good,âÂ
You hiccup, another loud sob as Wyll keeps steady.Â
âC-cumming,â You choke on the words, on your spit. âIâmâfuck!âÂ
Wyll lets you ride your orgasm out as you cum for the first time in the night. Your body goes arching, gripping on his horns hard trying to pull him away as you push through to the other side. Youâre pulsing in his mouth, tightening around nothing as you cum for him. It feels like it goes on forever, long waves and tremors until the feeling dies down.Â
He pulls away once youâve finally laid back down, exhausted and out of breath. You stare at him a little blankly, an arm covering your face.Â
âUp here,â You say tiredly, gesturing him up. âI need to kiss you.âÂ
Wyll laughs good naturedly as you wrap an arm around Wyllâs neck, dragging him down towards you and kissing him hard - drunk off pleasure. You kiss him in chaste pecks, hugging him. Nudging your nose along his neck, you whisper in his ear.Â
âTake your pants off, dammit.âÂ
Wyll canât help his laughter.
âI suppose itâs only fair,âÂ
You hook your fingers into Wyllâs trousers, helping him pull them down until his cock springs free. Your eyes go lidded as soon as you see it, hands cupping the now bare skin. Wyll hisses slightly at the sudden touch, unused to the friction. You look up at him, a hand between your bodies - closing your fist around the base of his cock.Â
âBumps and prongs, huh,âÂ
Wyll flushes immediately, making you laugh.Â
âI hope youâre not making fun of me.âÂ
âHow could I when Iâm this turned on?â You offer sincerely. He shudders at the touch. âI like it. Can I blow you?âÂ
âIâm sorry?âÂ
Your turn to laugh. âIâm good at it. And I want to. Itâs a little sensitive for you to fuck me, anyway.âÂ
Wyll swallows thickly. âI guess I have no reason to deny you.âÂ
âNo you donât. Now come on and stand up,âÂ
He gives you a hesitant look before peeling himself off of you. He stands to his feet, his pants still rolled down just past his thighs. He slides them off so the two of you are naked, and laments a little in his mind about the fact youâre doing this deep in the outdoors. Youâre quick to follow Wyll, walking on your knees towards him until youâre eye-level with his cock.Â
Heâs never gotten this far. Heâs a romantic in all the ways it matters, so save for some grinding and kissing - itâs a new experience. You look like you know what youâre doing though. You kiss his hips, hands on his thighs and an expression that he finds remarkably innocent for what youâre about to do. All Wyll can do is watch, and feel increasingly fidgety about the sight in front of him.Â
You crane your head down and place pecks from the base of his shaft all the way to the tip. You let his cock rest against your face, taking a sharp inhale of the skin - perverse and desperate. Wyll groans, deep from his chest as you smile. Youâre not unsettled by it at all, as reverent as you always are.Â
His body has grown especially sensitive because of Mizoraâs interference. He can feel the heat in his blood starting to swell as blood rushes to his cock, making him grow bigger. The way youâre looking at him isnât helping.Â
You poke your tongue out from your mouth and leave long licks along his cock - from base to tip. Like you sense he doesnât know what to do with his hands, you guide them to hold your head. He feels a weird sense of guilt about it, but the pleasure outweighs the shame - he doesnât force you down. Just keeps you painfully steady as you do all of the world.Â
Fuck, heâs sensitive. Every little wet lick and stroke is enough to make his spine prick with need. The tip of his cock leaks pre-cum. You press it against your lips as your hand wraps around his shaft in full, your tongue dipping into the slit making Wyll hiss.Â
âShit,â He huffs, hands gripping tighter but not moving you âThat feels good,âÂ
You give him a little smile that makes Wyllâs stomach flip. Like you know itâs going to catch him off guard, you finally open your mouth to take the tip of his cock into your mouth. Itâs lighter and more sensitive than the rest of his cock. You wrap your tongue around it with expertise and Wyll finds himself nearly bedding on the knee, legs starting to feel weak.
You use one hand to steady yourself on his thigh, the other slipping between your legs.Â
He can only watch on in awe, the impressive way you sink around the hot, hard length. Your tongue is soft, the cavern of your mouth wet and inviting. Wyll nearly breaks - almost fucks into your throat by bucking up. He restrains himself as you go lower and lower, eyes going increasingly wide as his cock disappears in the column of your throat. Just when he thinks you canât get any further, you do. He can feel the tip disappear in the narrowness of your throat, awestruck as drool starts to drip from the sides of your mouth.Â
You make a sound, muffled as you hit the base of Wyllâs cock like itâs nothing. You sink in further, nose pressing against his navel as you glance up at him. Itâs too lewd, damn near -Â seeing you deepthroat him with such ease. You inhale again, and Wyll flushes at the realization of what youâre doing exactly.Â
You pull off in one go, saliva dripping down your chin and neck as you open your mouth. Hollowing your cheeks and wrapping a free hand around whatever your mouth canât easily reach, you start to set a pace. Itâs fast and slick and messy, pre-cum mixed with saliva making your face grow sticky - taking deep breaths of Wyllâs scent and musk every time you manage to swallow it all. Itâs depraved seeing you suck his cock with such obvious lust and desire, eager to swallow him and show him pleasure.Â
Wyll feels the pleasure. His entire body feels like itâs being wrapped in something slick and warm, little sparks of electricity traveling from his fingertips to his spine. His head feels especially light, filled with fluff and devoid of conscious consideration.Â
âYour mouth feels incredible,â Wyll groans, shuddering, holding your head as you let his cock bottom out in your mouth again âHells,â
You sound pleased, a pleasant reverb going through his body as you set a pace - bobbing your head and swallowing every inch of him without flinching. The sound of your throat constricting around him and your own hands fill the surroundings. Heâs glad youâre so lost in the movements because his own voice is punched out of him each time you go down. He didnât know he was capable of making this much noise, such deep groans and heavy breaths every time you so much as move.
You pull him out completely, letting spit and saliva rub against your mouth as you tap against your face. Wyll feels a restless embarrassment at the pit of his stomach as you make eye-contact with him. He feels his cock twitch hard, something starting to come undone in his gut as he pulls you away.Â
âStop,â He wheezes, and you do with a pleased laugh âShit thatâs dangerous. YouâreâŠtalented.âÂ
You pause before breaking out into more giggles, kissing his cock one last time. Wyll covers his face with his hands.Â
âIs that a compliment?â
â...Itâs meant to be one.âÂ
âGlad youâre impressed,â You say with a wicked little grin - all sharp teeth and delight. âI wanted to go longer.âÂ
âWe have days together. Another time, my love.âÂ
Your smile grows a little. You are bad for his heart in more ways than one, Wyll thinks.Â
âMm. Okay. I canât really wait much longer, anyway. Another wave is gonna hit soon and I feel antsy.âÂ
âGet comfortable and lay down. And, I hate to ask so late - but should I be worryingâŠ? About protection?âÂ
You blink at him as you set up on the ground, moving around pillows for you to lay on. You shake your head. âMm. Should be fine. Getting contraceptives should be easier since weâre closer to the city. Unless you donât want to take that risk?âÂ
Your expression is uncharacteristically innocent. Wyll weighs his desire against reason, a feeling of guilt washing over him at the clear winner. His cock is throbbing to the extent itâs near painful.
(He doesnât hate the thought of giving you a child, either. Though he thinks itâs much too early to say something like that, and heâd prefer to plan something so important. Still, it isnât the worst outcome. Itâd be a precious little thing, half-werewolf and beautiful.Â
He brushes over the thought just as quickly as he has it, a little taken aback by his own desires. Itâs like everything is being bled from him, no thought too precious to strike his mind. Itâs too early to think about, no less mention.
He should marry you before that. The thought of it makes him harder.)Â
âAs I had suspected, Iâm only half the man I consider myself to be.âÂ
âAre you reflecting on your failings?â You tease. Wyll lets out a breath of air.Â
âOn my hypocrisy, if I were to put a name to it. I didnât realize desire could be so debilitating.â Wyll explains, joining you where you lay. You giggle lightly as Wyll positions himself between your legs, leaning in to kiss you shortly. âSeems youâve uncovered something I wasnât aware of.âÂ
âReally?âÂ
Wyll laughs against your lips as he kisses you again. âYou often do.âÂ
He brushes it aside as he pulls back. You lock eyes with him. Wyll is mesmerized. Your features start to round out again, eyes becoming glassy with need in the same familiar way as before. Wyll knows it now. He reaches over to cup your face with his palm, smile breaking his composure as you instinctively rub your cheek against the rough skin. He lets his thumb press against your lips, indulging your desire for affection.Â
âAre you still all there?âÂ
âHf. Yes. Not for long,â You say, urging him down towards you. Once again the proximity between you disappears. This time bare skinned, chest to chest. Wyll can feel the erratic thump of your heart, the unsteady quality in your breathing. You sink back into the same heat drunk place, a slow descent. Your pupils open wide enough for him to lose his senses. âDonât keep me waiting, please.âÂ
âI wouldnât dream of it.âÂ
You fall into a synchronicity this time around. Your legs spread wide, open and wanting. Wyll feels his throat start to close. His stomach flutters restlessly as he pushes his cock through your folds once, then twice - his head thrown back at the feeling of your bare skin. He reminds himself this isnât something to get used to, but the pleasure is easy to indulge in.Â
Itâs worsened by the fact youâre beautiful.Â
Wyll finds you so beautiful itâs ridiculous, even to him. The plush of your lips, the way your lashes fall along as your cheek, the shape of your eyes. All of you, bathed in moonlight and blessed by the higher powers. Youâre a culmination, the very pinnacle of Wyllâs every last mad desire. If everything around him faded to nothing, Wyll would have no clue. No sense, no rational, no righteousness. With nothing but himself to offer you, heâs moonstruck. Hung up on your affection and the feeling of warmth of mutual love.Â
The order is all out of sorts, and everything is complicated. But Gods. Gods. Youâre more beautiful than every dream heâs ever seen you in. Even the magic of his mind couldnât form something so perfect.Â
âYouâre really the most beautiful thing Iâve ever laid eyes on.âÂ
Your eyes widen, blinking rapidly before breaking out into a flush. âWhat are you saying?âÂ
âWhen I was a boy, I often imagined getting married,â Wyll says, drawing little circles along your hip. Your mouth opens, but falls shut as you feel the head of his cock push against you. You shudder as Wyll moves so slowly, with no intent of pushing in. âI had high hopes for love. The magic of fairy tale romance always spoke to me. I was fond of beautiful sights too, to boot.âÂ
Your breath hitches. Wyll feels you start to stretch around the tip of his cock. He swears under his breath, slowing even more. You let out a soft mewl as Wyll breathes through the sensation.Â
âBut you know,â He presses deeper, just slightly. A suggestion of a thrust. Your hand shoots out to grab Wyllâs wrist where heâs gripping you at the waist. His vision strains as he moves slowly, another terrible inch. âYouâve, haah, exceeded my every expectation. There was no need for daydreaming.âÂ
You make a choked sound as Wyll goes even deeper. Your hands grip tight, that same drunken look returning to you. The parts of you that are still there are teary eyed, sniffling. Your cunt pulses around him, sucking him deeper. You feel good, but Wyll is more focused on you. Imprinting you into his memory, like tonight is the last time heâd ever get to see you.Â
âIf I could go back, to any time - I think Iâd go back to being seventeen,â Wyll says with a smile, dropping himself closer to you. He leans up on his arm, noses brushing tenderly as you hiccup âI would tell Wyll from then to be strong. Become a Blade that can defend for the one who will become your shield.âÂ
You look up at him teary and frustrated. Your arms wrap around his neck as you cry, and Wyll laughs a little. Everything is so warm. He loves you.Â
âIf youâre any kinder to me, I donât know whatâll become of me. Ugh, my eyes sting.âÂ
Wyll canât help his smile. âWeâll have to see it through, then.âÂ
âStop being so romantic and fuck me.âÂ
He kisses your hairline. âAs you wish.âÂ
Wyll puts his hands up under your knees, folding you underneath him as he finally bottoms out. You both moan as you feel Wyll fill you up. You kiss him in that position, all desperation - tongue and teeth. Wyll is startled but indulges, a grinding thrust making you mewl into his mouth. He swallows the noise.Â
âFuck me,â You huff, your eyes bleary. âI canâcan feel you in my stomach,âÂ
Wyll groans.Â
You feel incredible. Wyll has to stop moving to steady his mind. He wants to last a little longer than a few seconds if he can help it. Your cunt wraps around his cock like silk. Sticky walls clinging to him like a vice, pulsing with need at the slightest movement. Wyll is connected to you in such an intimate way, it makes him feel visceral. Almost possessive. You hold on like you want to milk him for all heâs worth.
He takes another long breath, steadying himself as he pulls out and slams himself back in. You cry out in response to the first thrust, but you donât ask him to slow down. Wyll focuses on keeping his thrusts weighted and steady, something constant enough that your focus doesnât break. He wants to make you cum again, and he knows better what you need now. He keeps you pinned underneath the weight of him as he finds a pace to move to.Â
Once he finds it, Wyll fucks you without abandon. You hold onto him tight, nose nudged against his neck as you let out the tiniest whimpers heâs ever heard you make. The pleasure debases you completely, makes you all wild. Wyll likes seeing you fall apart with each movement. Every time he pistons the right spot your eyes go wide and flutter back closed as if itâs too much.Â
The two of you make a mess. Wyll can hear his cock pull and push the arousal out of you - each thrust wet. Itâs messy enough to make your skin stick together.Â
âWyll,â You say his name like itâs a prayer of your goddess. Something to save you. Some kind of sacrilege that Wyll feels no guilt for. âI love you, I love you. Fuckâfuck me,âÂ
âYouâre my whole life,â Wyll grunts. âIâll give you everything. Everything, my love.âÂ
âIâm close,â Your voice is hoarse as you say it. âIâm so close, just a littleââÂ
Wyll knows what youâre asking for. His hand sneaks between your bodies, palm resting on your tummy as his thumb messy circles on your puffy clit. You choke on your words, a broken thank you among the mess as Wyll keeps fucking you. Determined to make you cum one more time, he goes and goes and goes.Â
Wyll can feel you cum before you can tell him. You try to announce it, but the words donât come out. He can feel your hesitance, feeling something in you as your teeth graze his necks.Â
âYou can bite me. I can withstand it, loveâ Â
A pained whine is followed by the sharp feeling of your teeth in Wyllâs shoulder, as your voice breaks out into a howl. When you cum, you cum hard. Harder than before like youâre trying to latch onto him, your whole body going rigid before the tension breaks. Your orgasm crashes into you. You gasp as Wyll fucks you through it. He keeps fucking you through it until he feels youâve calmed down.Â
âCum, Wyll. For me, please.âÂ
Itâs enough to drive Wyll to the very edge. His desire reaches an impressive high. His thrusts become shallow, sloppy - the wet sound of him fucking you open finally reaching his ears as he gives into his own needs. Wyll cums hard. He bottoms out as he does, thick white ropes painting your insides as the two of you lay with each other.Â
When Wyll finally catches his breath and starts to go soft, he pulls away to look at you. Youâre frowning at him.Â
âIs somethingââÂ
âBeing sweet to me like that in the middle of that is unfair. Iâm going to hold it against you.âÂ
Wyll pauses before breaking out into a giggle.Â
âI was worried for a minute.âÂ
âI love you.â You add, a little softer time. âThank you for coming to find me.âÂ
âAlways.â Wyll replies, hugging you to him. âI adore you, you know.âÂ
__Â
EPILOGUE:Â
You return to camp together at the end of your tenday.Â
Wyll is covered in all sorts of marks by the time youâve arrived, and so are you. Thereâs not really anything to do to hide that. Or to hide the fact heâs utterly exhausted by the whole thing. Heâs drained, though he thinks he could do it again if he timed it better.Â
It was nice to spend an entire tenday together, though. In between having sex or Wyll meeting your needs - you ate and slept and bathed together. Despite your circumstances the entire situation was domestic - and Wyll enjoyed being with you.Â
You are absolutely chipper and uncaring about the situation. Wyll wishes he could be a little more like you in this case.Â
The first person to see you at camp is Karlach.Â
âWell, look who it is!â Karlach chirps, absolutely delighted. âThe lovebirds are back,âÂ
The whole camp stirs at the announcement. Itâs early enough that everyone is still at camp. Wyll feels his skin prick with heat as you leave his side, prancing over to Karlach to chat with her. Back to your usual self, Wyll feels a specific fondness about having seen a new side of you and remaining so unchanged.Â
âOh, youâve returned?â Astarion says. Wyll looks up, surprised.Â
âAh, uhm, yes.âÂ
Astarion stands next to Wyll with his arms crossed.Â
âHave you finally done it or do I have to endure more of your incessant pining?âÂ
Wyll chokes on his spit.Â
âYouâre losing your touch Astarion,â Shadowheart says, shuffling into camp from behind Wyll with a towel that needs to be dried. âThat one over there is chipper and this one can barely look at them. Shouldnât that tell you all you need to know?âÂ
âTsk. Youâre right. Congratulations are in order, I suppose. Or some celebration. At least I wonât have to see you two eye-fucking each other every day. It was getting dire..âÂ
âI wouldnât be so confident,â Shadowheart says. âHeâs doing it right now even after they spent a tenday wrapped in each other's arms.âÂ
Astarion sighs. âGods. Canât have anything these days.âÂ
Wyll opts not to say anything, handling them with usual grace.Â
âThanks for the congratulations,â Wyll says, staring at you idly. âHope it wasnât too difficult without us.âÂ
âHardly.âÂ
Wyll smiles at that. He watches you as you talk to Karlach animatedly, smiling a little harder. He can take as much teasing as they dish out.Â
He could endure it ten times over, as long as he gets to be with you.Â
⟠a/n ; whew⊠we've made it to the end. i wrote this fic in a whopping 12 days. it was a crazy experience especially since i havent written anything i'd personally consider substantial since like.. idk april 2023. i also mostly write for anime so its a little nervewracking specifically writing for bg3. THAT BEING SAID. i love wyll. i started playing the game for him and he has bewitched me mind body and soul. it is rather disheartening to see how much larian dgaf about him so i guess part of me writing this is also trying to convince people to see what i see in wyll. something something that joan didion quote about writing as a form of violence bc of imposing views something something.
wyll is a really moving character to me. i like characters who are categorically so righteous it drives them to the destruction of themselves.
but the specific dichotomy of wyll - a man who has lost every ounce of agency time and time again with this tav was especially consuming. tav too is considered a monster, but they embrace and love this part of themselves. i think witnessing that, and the reframing monstrosity in wylls case is really helpful for him. tav doesnt know what losing their agency is like, but they're able to restructure wylls belief of what this new body of his is worth. that he is worthy all the same, and that he exists outside of being the blade. these sorts of things haunted me during this. but also⊠i just wanted to see wyll bang a desperate heat addled werewolf shorty. lol.
ANYWAYS. sorry for this MASSIVE wall of text. i just really love wyll so much and i hope this iteration of him felt in line with who he is. and if you're not a wyll fan and just a fic consume well⊠i hope i was able to compel you towards him a bit. in any case, thanks for reading! and please do leave a comment if you liked it! all feedback appreciated.
also i dont normally ask but if you could rb this fic if you liked it'd be appreciated </3 im trying to find wyll likers ehdjksjf

Hiii! I saw your smut prompts post and I just wanted to make a request! Genshin character Childe or Scaramouche (Which ever you want) with prompt number 4 where they have slow sex while one or both are injured! And maybee it could be after they fought each other just finished patching up their wounds.
Iâd really appreciate it if it is female reader but gender neutral is fine toođ€ Thanks and have a good day!
Childe & Scaramouche x Bottom AFAB!GN!Reader + sex while injured (NSFW)
a/n: why not both? also omfg im a fraud how have i not written anything for my afab siblings when im an afab genderqueer freakâŠ. im so sorry this is my compensationâŠ.
warnings: bruises, a bit of blood, no pronouns mentioned, no breasts mentioned just a gn! reader with an afab body!
scaramouche would find it oh so amusing the way you shiver on his lap while his cold porcelain fingers ghost over your cunt, the way you whine and the way your breath stutters when he puts a finger in slowly. and fuck, the cuts on your thighs from your earlier run ins with a horde of treasure hunters. youâre all covered in bruises and cuts that he took care of with practised movements all while nagging you to be more careful with a glare.
he bites his lower lip as his other hand goes to the cut that was quite deep, the bandage already dirty with a red splotch of your blood on it. presses on it and looks at your face, the way you close your eyes and whine his name, the way your warm cunt tightens around his cold fingers; fuck itâs enough to make him cum. heâd never tell you that though. speeding up the thrust of his fingers as he uses his other hand to push your leg flush against your chest; earning an arch from your back, the shake of your whole body, the tightening of your cunt around his fingers and your cum coating said porcelain fingers.
âhow dirty...â
after your spar with childe you wouldnât even be given time to cool off or even see how badly youâre injured before he pounces on you like an overexcited dog. your pretty moans and his deep grunts fill the sparring room as he slams his hips to get his cock as deep as he can on that tight cunt he fuckinâ loves so much.
you feel yourself tighten even more as you pull on the gingerâs tattered clothes for any kind of support when your whole body shakes from your orgasm; hearing him whine like a whore and feel his hips stop flush with your ass as you coat his cock with your cum. he licks his lips and dives in for a deep kiss while he starts his punishing thrusts again, his nails digging into your already bruised hips; his own hips slamming into you one last time when he feels the blood on your tongue, pumping your abused cunt with his cum as he licks your lips like a satisfied puppy.
âwanna go again?â

I can imagine preggo wife literally talking and talking and talking in the middle of a movie and gets offended and leaves when Joel tells her to quiet down
Joel Dealing with Preggo Wife : Yapper
notes: Oh I had fun writing this! no warnings (maybe some Fugitive and Raiders spoilers), Enjoy!
- - - -
Joelâs pretty excited for movie night. Itâs one of the few films the two of you donât argue over and can pretty much watch the entire way through without disruption.
Or at least, it used to be.
Joel settles against the couch armrest with his feet propped up, knees bent slightly so you have room to sit in front. Heâs got any snack you could think of within an arm reach away, and heâs got the title on pause so you can scooch your fat booty and big belly comfortably. Usually takes about 15 minutes of squirming, smacking his chest to âfluffâ it up, adding a pillow at his crotch, then taking it away because you like his hard cock there instead, elbow in his groin and then his knee, then you gotta get up to pee before starting the whole process over.
âOK Im ready!â You say after 15 minutes on the dot, snuggling close to him with the back of your head rested against the crook of his neck.
He finally hits play, and the Lucasfilm logo flashes across the screen. The tropical forest and ominous music plays as the familiar font of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark fade on to the screen.
âJoel. Joel. Hey Joel.âÂ
âY-yes?â
âDid you know Indiana was named after George Lucas dog? Who also was the physical inspiration for chewy?â You ask rhetorically.Â
It takes him a second to understand youâre asking him a question. âWhat?â
âChewbacca! From Star Wars!â
âOh ok neat,â he says with some enthusiasm, but quick to end it and get back to watching the movieâ
âYeah also Sean Connery is also apparentlyâwell guess how much older he is to Harrison Ford.â
âUmâI donâtâI donât know.â Joel says slowly, watching as Indy carefully removes the sand from the pouch and weighs it to the gold idol.
âCâmon, guess!â
âI really donât know, can weââ
â12 years older than Harrison in Last Crusade! My mom was like âWHAT no wayâ and I was like âYes wayâ and she was like âHe's his father and he's got all that white in his hair and receding hairlineâ and I was like âJoel's only in his late 30s and he's got white in his beard.ââ
Joel canât hear a damn thing happening on screen except the shouts about hating a pet snake named Reggie. âWhaââ
âNot that you look anything like Sean Connery in Last Crusade. Maybe in like Bond âoof he was the hottest Bond. Plus you got like a receding beard-line with all the patches, I donât know, but my mom was like âYa know Joel's got more white hair lately since you've been pregnantâ and I was like âNah uhâ and she was like âYa huhâ and I was like âHuh I wonder why that isâŠ?â Anyway but nope only 12 years between him and Fordââ
Joel turns to look at you with a frown, a bit confused and amazed at how you have so much to say, right now, oblivious as ever.Â
It doesnât phase your rambling one bit: ââLike damn, but you know Harrison Ford has always been handsome. But like in the bad boy kind of way, not like handsome upstanding like Christopher Reeves? When I saw The Fugitive, I was like âoooohhhh I'll be his wife nowâ hahaha! no no Iâm sorry, heâs famous and Iâm not so thatâs why I married you, but that's such a fall film don't you think? Minus the murder and betrayal and fucking Dr Charles Nickles like was he British or not? He was in and out of an accent the whole time? Didn't make sense to me but yeah, it's just such a fall Cozy film.â
Joel looks back at the screen and realizes Marion is already being cornered by the Nazi creep: âAh huhâhoneyââ
âOH! I Love her song! Itâs kind of like Leia and Hanâs from Empire except the last notes are different, like it goes do doooooo instead of da dat dada daaaaaaa, Thatâs just John Williamâs for ya, but youâd never notice they were so similar!â
Joel opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out as you continue:
ââAlso I know you said my mom made good apple pie but I really wanna try to make it because I want you to like mine more, so I need you to get some apples and pie crust and butter and stuff from the store, Iâll make a list so you can get it. They said we need ground cinnamon but I think ours expired like 5 years ago so donât forget that. And then I'm gonna tell you how to slice the apples since I can't handle sharp objects and then oh I need you to get the mixer from the top shelf and then you have to mix it all together and slice the top with like little heart patterns and then put it in the oven n stuff âcause it's hot and I don't wanna burn OH and that reminds meâ!âÂ
âBABE!â
âHmm? yes?â You ask with a innocent smile.Â
âLet's try to be quiet and watch the movie ok?â
He offers a gentle smile and nods, pointing towards the TV again and settling to watch it with his beautiful wife.
His very very very unhappy wife. Your eyes havenât left his, face now downturned in such a scowl, he should be shitting his pants.
You roll your jaw at him once, teeth grinding against one another with slitted, murderous eyes. Joel gulps, too afraid to glance back at you again. His eyes are wide staring at the commotion on the television but, now in your deadly silence, he canât seen to focus on it at all.Â
Instead of saying anything, you roll polly up to your feet, arms crossed over your chest defensively as you utter a loud âHmph!â before storming away from the living room.
Heâll have to deal with groveling tomorrow morning when you might be a little more welcoming. But on the bright side, heâs got way more room to spread out on the couch and he can hear the movie much better now!Â
.........Â
He switches it off and runs upstairs to get on his knees by your side of the bed, begging for your forgiveness and promises of a Clyde's milkshake to go.Â

scary dog privileges â python333
â â â â
synopsis ur super duper scary to almost all 141 soldiers, but to price soap ghost and gaz ur just the sweetest little thing ever :3
relationships platonic!taskforce 141 & gn!reader.
characters cap. price, soap, ghost, gaz.
word count 4.6k
warnings 2nd person pov [you/yours/yourself], no usage of c/n [call sign chosen for this fic is 'Cerberus'!], might sound kind of rushed/shitty :{
note normally i try not to rush fics BUT i started this at like 12 pm and as im typing this out its 11 pm and ive only written 2285 words so im kind of rushing this so i can keep up my little posting daily thing!! this idea has also been rotting in my brain for a while, so i might make a hcs thing from it, idk, but for now its just this fic!! also, thank you everyone who gave reblogged my last fic, reblogs are the best sorta motivation for a reader and i absolutely appreciate all of them :> anyway this is all fluff + comfort no hurt and has some soft!ghost in it because hes my dad and i love him so enjoy!!
The Private in front of you may as well have been pissing his pants with how scared he looked. His commanding officer, and one of your closest friends, Soap, had reported him to you for âinsubordinationâ. Heâd said, verbatim, when telling you about him, âIâd deal with him myself, but Iâm too tired to,â so now you had to deal with one of his subordinates.Â
You sighed through your nose as you looked down at the Private in front of you, the latter comically small compared to you, both physically and mentally.Â
âWell?â You ask expectantly, raising an eyebrow at him, âAre you gonna tell me what happened?â The Private shakily nods and you can hear him gulp, âRight, yeah, so basically, it was earlier this morning and I was following orders and everything, doing what I was supposed to, then I accidentally interrupted Soap while he was giving me orders, which I didnât mean to do, I swear, I just wasnât thinking and it happened and I justâ I didnât mean to do it. And then later on, we were bothâme and Soapâtalking with a few other people who I guess were some higher ranked soldiers from different tactical operations and I accidentally interrupted some of them. It wasââ âIâm sorry, hold on,â You put a finger up to silence him, to which he responds with immediate silence, letting you talk, âYou donât accidentally interrupt someone. Either you do it or you donât. You donât just slip up and interrupt your CO in the middle of him giving you orders. Secondly, always refer to Soap as âCaptain MacTavishâ, or âCaptainâ if thatâs somehow too hard for you, donât act like you get to talk about him like youâre both all buddy-buddy andââ âOkay, but if youâd just let me finishââ The Private tries to interrupt you, making you draw your eyebrows together in confusion. âExcuse me?â You ask, mildly offended that he had the audacity to interrupt you, âDid you just interrupt me?â The Private stays silent for a moment, looking up at you, wide-eyed. His whole face looks even more stupid like thisâlike he doesnât even know what he did.Â
âI asked you a question, Private,â You remind him, leaning down a bit, tilting your head to the side questioningly, âDid you just interrupt me?â âRight, yeah, I did, sorry about thatââ He tries to apologize, âDidnât mean to. Swear.â âRight,â You narrow your eyes at him, standing back up straight and crossing your arms, âRemember what I just said? About not accidentally interrupting people?â âYeah, I do.â âCould you say âYes, Lieutenantâ instead of that?â You ask, âThis isnât a casual conversation. This is one of your superiors telling you that you canât blatantly disrespect your commanding officer, so act like it.â âYesâ Yes, Lieutenant,â The Private stammers, which really shouldnât make your lips twitch at the corners but it does, and you have to fight off a smile, pursing your lips instead.Â
âLike I was saying earlier,â You continue your words from earlier, âIn conversations like these, when youâre not out doing an assignment, I donât want to catch you referring to Captain MacTavish as just âSoapâ ever again. And you donât want me to catch you doing that either, you understand?â âI understand, Lieutenant.â âGood, good,â You nod, before gesturing for the Private to keep giving you his side of the story, âContinue telling me what happened then.â âRight, so, after that, Captain MacTavish gave me some new orders, and I felt like I had a better idea of what to do than him because Iâd thought of something that makes more sense than what he told me to do, so I told him as such, and he acted all shocked like I didnât have a really good idea, and told me that I was to follow his orders not the ones I tried to give to myself so I told him that mine were better andââ
âHave you read the military regulations and codes of conduct? Ever?â You interrupt, making the Private shut up almost immediately and hesitantly nod his head affirmatively. âI really donât believe you. Everything Iâve heard so far is a direct violation of it, I justââ You pause to give a small, humorless laugh, âYou have me speechless here, really.â The Private watches nervously as you struggle to find the appropriate words to say, before you finally come up with, âIs there more that you need to tell me about?â â⊠Yeah,â The Private answers sheepishly, making you sigh through your nose and gesture for him to tell you the rest. He clears his throat before starting up again, âAnd then he said that heâs the commanding officer for a reason and that what he says goes so I said okay and did what he told me to do. Then after that whole thing, he told me to go to your office and tell you what I did.â Why do I have to do all his dirty work? â⊠Okay then,â You look up at the ceiling and try to think of what to do, before taking a deep breath and looking down at the Private, muttering, âWell, I appreciate that you didnât go into my office without my permission, at least you know not to do that.â You clear your throat before speaking louder, âLetâs head into my office instead of just standing out here. This is probably violating some sort of codeâŠâ The Private nods and lets you unlock the door to your office thatâs just a few steps away and walks in after you, being sure to close the door behind him. He automatically sits at the chair across from your desk and you sit down at your own chair behind your desk.Â
âRight, okay, letâs seeâŠâ You dig around the drawers of your desk, before letting out a small âah-ha!â and pulling a corrective action assignment form out of one of the small drawers of your desk and setting it onto the top of your desk. You grab a pen from the small cup by your desk and write down the date on the form in your usual neat handwriting.Â
You read a question on the form and look over at the Private, âCould you give me your full name, please?â
âJohnâ John Williams,â The Private stammers again, making you raise an eyebrow.
âYour name is John-John Williams?â
âNo, just John Williams, Lieutenant.â âMâkay,â You write down his name and fill out a few more things on the form before signing it off with your name and looking over at the Private once again, folding the paper in half as you do, âIâm gonna trust you to bring this to Soap, and tell him that itâs from me. You think you can do that?â âYeah, of course,â John breathes out, grabbing the paper from you as you hand it to him. âYes what?â âYesâ Yes, Lieutenant.â âThere we go,â You sigh and lean back in your chair, âGo on and pass that to him. And tell him to send anyone else whoâs being insubordinate to Ghost or something, anyone but me.âÂ
John simply nods and gets up, walking out your office door and making sure to close it behind him. You cap the pen youâd used and put it back in the cup where the rest of your writing utensils are, before yawning and leaning forward to rest your head on your desk when suddenly thereâs a sharp knocking at your office door. You muffle a groan and wait a moment before calling out, âCome in!â You watch as your door slowly opens, making a creaking sound that hurts your ears a bit, and much to your annoyance, yet another Private is standing in your doorway, looking just as sheepish as the last. âOh my fâ you know what?â You stand up and take a deep breath to momentarily calm yourself, âWho sent you? Was it Soap?â â⊠Yes,â The Private answers, their voice shaky as they speak to you, the whole thing only making you more annoyed. âWhere is he right now?â You ask, walking towards the door and opening it wider, towering over the much smaller Private in front of you.Â
âTheâ the training facility.â You blink at the Private and you take another deep breath to calm yourself. âYeah, no shâ ugh, you know what? Thank you. Justââ You look up at the ceiling and tell yourself not to snap at this poor rookie, and look back down at them, âJust follow me. I have to go yell at him.âÂ
âWhat?â The Private asks dumbly, their eyes widening a bit in surprise. You donât bother to look over your shoulder and check that theyâre following you, instead just walking out of your office, somehow hearing their footsteps even with the thundering stomping your boots made as you walked.Â
You eventually made it to one of the training facilities, the only one that currently had anyone in them, and opened the door louder than you meant to. You walked in, the shaking Private behind you as you walked up to Soap and took several deep breaths to calm yourself, ignoring the several rookies that stared at you as you walked over to him. You could hear small whispers forming amongst Soapâs small platoon of soldiers, but ignored them as well, simply walking up to Soap, who finally noticed you. He turned to you and gave you a knowing grin, like he knew exactly why you were here. âHey, L.tââ âWhy have I had two Privates coming into my office telling me you sent them because you couldnât do your damn job?â You question him immediately, ignoring the small gasp from the Private behind you, âDo you know how many CAA forms I have left? Three. Three forms. Because you canât deal with your own rookies. If I wanted to be dealing with them, I wouldâve let Price make me a CO. You know what I said when he asked me to be one? Fuck no. I said it for a reason.âÂ
â⊠Sae ye dinât want me tae report onyone else tae ye?â Soap asks, like the little shit he is, in a teasing tone. âAbsolutely not.â
âNoted,â He nods, as if he understands, and gestures for the Private heâd sent to you to come back over to him, âI actually got yer message a minute ago from Williams. I think he almost shat himself.âÂ
âIâm kinda happy about that, honestly,â You mutter, âEverything he told me was like⊠a direct violation of the code of conduct and was just so stupid.â âI ken!â Soap agrees, âI swear, naebody reads the code âo conduct ony mair.â âI asked him if he did, and he said yes, but I know heâs lying,â You roll your eyes before adding on, âAnd you know what? Iâve only had issues with British people ever since you and Gaz started reporting people to me. I think that theyâre just the issue.âÂ
âJesus, I ken,â Soap mutters, âFuckinâ Brits.â âFuckinâ Brits.â You nod in agreement, before sighing and looking over at the rest of Soapâs platoon. You look back at him, âI also told Williams to actually refer to you as âCaptain MacTavishâ, so⊠thereâs that.â âGuid, guid,â Soap nods, before clearing his throat and continuing,
âSo did ye only come here tae yell at mae?âÂ
âYeah.â You admit, making Soap laugh lightly.
âAnd yer done now?â
â⊠I guess,â You mutter, making him chuckle and pat you on the shoulder.
âGuid,â He says, looking over at his group of soldiers heâs meant to be training, âI think yer scarinâ my soldiers more than mae.â
âHow can you tell?â You ask sarcastically, following his gaze to the rookies that were trying their best not to look like they were eavesdropping when they clearly were. âThey donât even know weâre talking right now.â Soap huffs out a small laugh, âRight, oâ course.âÂ
âIâm gonna head back to my office and take a quick nap,â You let Soap know, âSo donât send me anymore people. Theyâre stinking up my office, itâs ridiculous.â Soap raises an eyebrow at you questioningly, âWhy donât you just go to your sleeping quarters?â âDonât tell me what to do.â Soap raises his hands in surrender, âAlright, then.â You huff out a tired breath and say, âSo if anyone asks where I am, just let them know that.â You donât wait for a response before you walk away from Soap and immediately hear whispers starting up again, but you ignore them as you walk out the door, sort of used to them at this point. You didnât know why you were so scary to some of the lower-ranked soldiers (and even some of the higher-ranked ones), considering you never intentionally did anything to scare them. Sure, you were taller than most of them, and maybe just a bit quicker to lose your temper with people, but it was never that bad.Â
You vividly remember Gaz and Soap when they both found out a majority of the soldiers that were apart of the 141 were afraid of you or at least intimidated by you, the two had said that they wanted you around more often, just hanging out with them, so that they wouldnât get bothered as much by people for unnecessary things.
Scary dog privileges, you remember theyâd said, laughing as they did. Itâs actually where youâd gotten your call sign, Cerberus.Â
Itâs not that you hated it at all, in fact, you didnât mind being a little scary if it meant people were less likely to bother you, itâs just that it makes it a hell of a lot harder to actually talk to people without them starting to stammer or shake.
It was one of the reasons you turned down being a commanding officerâyou didnât really like the thought of commanding a platoon of soldiers that cowered in your presence. Plus, it was getting really annoying, not being able to talk to another soldier that wasnât Price, Soap, Ghost or Gaz without them looking like all they wanted to do was leave the conversation.Â
You finally make it back to your office and let out a sigh of relief as you open the door and walk in, closing it behind you, not even bothering to lock it as you immediately walk over to the chair behind your desk and sit down in it.
You reach below your desk and pull out a nice, fluffy blanket and a fluffy pillow to go with it that you always kept in your officeâjust for times like this, when you felt like going to sleep in your office, for whatever reason.
Were you supposed to be napping at all? No. Would your superiors let you anyway because youâve somehow managed to get emotionally adopted by both Price and Soap? Absolutely.
You move some of the papers cluttering your desk out of the way and set down your pillow, as well as wrapping yourself in the blanket, and sigh happily as you lay your head down onto the pillow.Â
Just as youâre getting comfy, you hear a knock at the door. No. You donât get up to answer it. You just sit there, head on your pillow, nice and comfy. In fact, you refuse to answer the door, because youâve opened it for two other people already, and God knows who youâre gonna snap at once you open that door.
Another knockâyou ignore that one too, knowing full well you told Soap to tell anyone who was looking for you that you were in your office but also knowing that you never said youâd open the door, you just said youâd be there.Â
You bury your face into the pillow and scream into it, knowing the scream wouldnât be too muffled with how loud it was, but doing it anyway. You then take a deep breath and call out, unenthusiastic and tired, âCome in!âÂ
You watch the door open and see Ghost step in, and youâre silent as you watch him close the door behind him and walk over to you, his century old shitty laptop in hand as he sits down in the chair in front of your desk and sets down said laptop.
You pay no mind to it, deciding youâd rather take a nap, and set your head back down on the pillow, pretending that you canât feel Ghostâs eyes on you. â⊠Are you okay?â He asks, sounding a little concerned as he looks at you bury your head into your pillow, before his concern turns into confusion as he asks, âWhen did you get a pillow in hereâ you have a blanket, too?âÂ
âMmph.â You donât respond with actual words, even if you did theyâd be muffled beyond relief by your pillow. You canât see him but Ghost raises an eyebrow at you and his lips twitch into a small, amused smile.Â
âWhat, youâve just had those in here?â Ghost asks, knowing heâll get nothing more than a muffled hum from you.Â
âMmph.â âAlright, then,â He mutters, âKeep your secrets.â âMmph.â You feel too tired to bother responding with anything else. âI feel like you shouldnât sleep in your office, considering you have your own sleeping quarters you can sleep in.â â⊠Mmph.â âThatâs fair,â Ghost nods. You hear him opening his laptop and you hear it crack when it opens, the noise making you huff out a small laugh into your pillow. God, that thing is so old, itâs ridiculous.
âWhatâs so funny?â Ghost asks as he types in his password. You donât say anything in response, which doesnât shock him in the slightest. You feel yourself start to get closer to sleep, but canât get quite there, instead sort of just hanging right on the edge of sleep.
You quietly grumble in frustration and shift a bit in your seat, not knowing what the issue is. Ghost notices this and raises an eyebrow at you, but doesnât do anything about it just yet, instead getting back to his work. Whyâd he have to go into your office to do his work? Who knows.
You shift again in your seat and Ghost knows that heâs not gonna be able to focus if you keep shiftingâwhy wouldnât he just go to his own office?âaround, so he sighs and picks up his laptop and drags the chair in front of your desk with him around to behind your desk where you are.
You lift your head up to try and see what heâs doing, confused, and see him putting his chair right next to yours and setting his laptop down onto the desk.Â
Before you can ask anything, he gently puts a hand on the side of your head and guides it to rest on his shoulder, andâoh. This is much better, somehow.Â
He seems to know that itâs that much better, too, because his eyes crinkle a bit, giving away the fact that heâs smiling. However, he stays silent, and keeps his hand on the side of your head for a moment before letting it fall down to the side of your forearm, his thumb gently rubbing soothing circles into your skin.
He opens up his laptop once again and types in his password with one hand, the typing going by significantly slower than it wouldâve if he used both hands, but he decides against keeping his hand off of you, seeing as it assists in helping you go to sleep.
Are you supposed to be asleep right now? Definitely not. But like mentioned before, Price wouldnât mind. And youâd probably laugh if Soap minded, because even if heâs a Captain, heâll always act like a little shit. Ghost knows this too, and with this information, he figures that he might as well help you sleep, since he knows exactly how to help you sleep.Â
One too many nights spent pacing in your room, which eventually woke Ghost up, which led to him helping you sleep, so that he could sleep too, You sleepily remember, He always said he was annoyed by the pacing, and thatâs the only reason he helped you sleep. But now, seeing whatâs happening now, makes you question that a bit. Was it his annoyance, or something else? Or am I thinking too much about this?
Cutting off your train of thought is another knock at the door, and itâs not loud enough to completely snap you out of your drowsy haze but itâs enough to make you a little more aware, and for you to readjust your head your head so that your face is practically buried in the crook of Ghostâs neck. His thumb stops rubbing against your forearm, and he glares at the door like it was the doorâs fault it got knocked on.Â
The knocking persists and neither of you say anything, just waiting on whoever it is on the other side to give up and go away, but whoever it is must be feeling pretty determined because even louder knocks sound at the door, making you and Ghost sigh in unison.
You both continue to stay silent, hoping that whoever was on the other side just goes away, but they donât. You donât hear any footsteps retreating, and the knocks keep coming. Â
âHello?â You both hear Priceâs voice on the other side, âCerberus? You in there?â âSay no,â You mutter into Ghostâs neck. He nods and clears his throat.Â
âNope!â Ghost calls out in response to Priceâs question.Â
â⊠Ghost?â Priceâs surprised voice comes through, âWhat are you doing in there?â âSay this is your office,â You murmur, making Ghost huff out a small, amused laugh and nod again.Â
âThis is my office,â Ghost responds, âWhy wouldnât I be here?â âWhat? No,â Priceâs voice becomes confused, âThis is Cerberusâ office.â âNo itâs not,â Ghost denies, lying straight through his teeth. You laugh quietly against his neck. âUh⊠but it is?â Price argues, âIt has their name on the front.â âNo it doesnât,â Ghost blatantly denies, continuing his thumbâs slow circle movements on your skin, the soothing action making you hum contently. You donât know how, but somehow your humming is loud enough for Price to hear. Does he have his ear against the door or something?
âI can hear Cerberus in there,â Price argues again, âDonât lie to me.â âSorry, lamb,â Ghost apologizes to you softly, tone significantly more soft than it typically is, âI think heâs caught onto us.â â⊠I guess itâs fine for him to come in, then,â You mumble against his neck. He responds with a nod.Â
âCome in!â Ghost calls out, and almost immediately you hear the door open and Priceâs loud footsteps walking in. You canât see him, but he opens his mouth to say something, when his eyes catch on your face buried in the crook of Ghostâs neck.
He looks questioningly at Ghost, the latter simply blinking over at Price, daring him to comment on it.Â
He doesnât, and instead closes the door behind him and walks up to the desk.Â
âCerberus?â He asks. You hum offhandedly, and he takes that as a sign to continue, âYou okay?â âMhm.â âYou know you can sleep in your own sleeping quarters, right?â âMhm.â âAnd youâre choosing not to?âÂ
âMhm.â Price blinks at you for a moment before muttering, âAlright, then,â under his breath and turning to Ghost, âAnd youâre here because?â âFelt like having some company,â Ghost answers simply, watching as Price glances at his thumb rubbing circles into your forearm, and continues to watch as his eyes slowly make their way up to the way your face is buried in the crook of his neck.Â
Price looks at Ghost, mouthing the words, âIâm telling everyone about this,â to which Ghost mouths back, âDonât you dare.â Price grins at this and opens his mouth to say something else before thereâs another knock at the door.Â
âAre you always this popular?â Ghost asks you, sounding both mildly annoyed and amused.Â
âMhm.â You hum affirmatively.Â
Ghost sighs and he and Price call out in unison, âCome in!â The door opens and you temporarily readjust your head so that youâre just resting your head on Ghostâs shoulder with your face facing the door, and you watch as Gaz enters the room and his neutral face turns into one of both surprise and confusion.Â
âWere you lot having a party in here, or something?â He asks, closing the door behind him.
âNot originally,â Ghost deadpans, watching as Gaz walks over next to Price and leans against your desk, âWhatâre you here for?â
âNeeded an extra corrective action form,â Gaz answers. Ghost looks down at you for permission to rummage through your desk drawers and you nod.
âSecond drawer to the right,â You mumble, and Ghost opens that exact one up and pulls out a CAA form, handing it over to Gaz, who takes it with a âthank youâ and folds it in half, stuffing it into his back pocket.
He looks between you and Ghost questioningly, and opens his mouth to say something, before Ghost gives him the same look he did to Price, and Gaz immediately snaps his mouth shut.
âIf youâre tired, Cerberus, you should go to your sleeping quarters,â Price comments, tone worried. You look over at him.
âWhat if someone needs me, though?â You ask, slowly blinking at him.
âKid, I donât think anyone would get any good help from you with the state youâre in right now,â Price says honestly, ignoring the small glare you send him. âAnyone who needs you can just refer to someone else.â
You hum neutrally and sigh before muttering, âFine,â and tentatively take your head off of Ghostâs shoulder and unwrapping the blankets youâd wrapped around yourself earlier, bundling it into a little ball and putting it into the box under your desk, putting the pillow in there as well.
You crack your knuckles quickly and get up from your seat, quickly putting your hands on the edge of your desk to steady yourself, standing up on slightly shaky legs. âI can help you get over there,â Price offers, frowning a bit when you shake your head negatively. Ghost lets out a sigh and stands up, closing his laptop before quickly walking over to you and wrapping an arm loosely around your side, over your arm, pulling you closer to him and helping you stand up a bit straighter. Gaz observes all of this with a raised eyebrow but otherwise says nothing, instead watching with Priceâwho watched this with disbelief in his eyesâas Ghost walked with you to the door wordlessly, opening the door and walking out of it with you, not looking back as he closes the door behind him. âYou think everyoneâs gonna think Cerberus is all scary after they see them leaning on Ghost trying to get back to their sleeping quarters?â Gaz asks Price, staring at the closed door. âSomehow, yeah,â Price says after a moment, still caught up in his disbelief, âThat is⊠the strangest thing Iâve seen all day.â âItâs only thirteen, Captain.â âI donât think anythingâs gonna top that.â âTop what?â Gaz asks, a little confused, âSeeing Ghost helping out Cerberus?â âYeah.â Gaz huffs out a laugh and pats Priceâs shoulder, âJesus, man. Iâm surprised thatâs the first time youâve seen that.â Gaz ignores Priceâs confused look and walks towards the door, opening and closing it as he walks out, leaving Price dumbfounded in Cerberusâ office. âHuh?â
