I Don't Care, Hold Me
Summary: Luffy wants you to hold him
cw: All fluff, Established relationship
A/N: I know I've been gone for a while.. due to personal reasons, and I don't think I'm back all the way, yet. I wanted to write something for y'all but it might not be good having not written in months :( I also just realized that this story is similar to another story I posted. I didn't notice until I put it on here...sorry!
---
“I’m tired, just cuddle me.” Luffy mumbled, wrapping his arms around you and shoving his face in the crook of your neck. You furrowed your brows and looked around frantically, trying to push him off of you. He whined and his hold on you tightened.
Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem. On a regular day, if he said this, you would swoop him in your arms, no questions asked- and cuddle him to death. But this wasn’t a regular day. In fact, y’all were in the middle of a fight that Luffy had started.
It was supposed to be a chill day, with you and the crew playing games and sharing stories, laughing and drinking, when Luffy had decided he wanted to stop at an island and pick a fight with a random group of pirates. And now that he’s got the fight he wanted, he wants to sleep?!
Just then, you hear some squeaky noise that only gets louder, and then a boom. Two guys are now laid out on the floor, their bodies black as they try to pat themselves of the fire that’s sticking to their clothes.
“Superrrr!” Franky yells, shooting his hands together and sticking a leg out as Chopper and Usopp, practically, cry at how cool he is.
“Pay attention to me!” Luffy whines, nibbling on your neck, arms tightening as you focus on the ruckus around you.
You groan and pull him off you, his face meeting yours with a frown. “Luffy, we’re literally in a fight right now..” You try to reason with him. To no avail, he wraps his arms around you again and grabs your arms and puts them around his body.
“I don’t care. I just wanna be held.” He whispers, and his breath on your neck makes the hair stand and a shiver run down your body.
Letting out a sigh of defeat, you tighten your arms around him and you swear you can feel him smile against you. Luffy lets out a quiet hum and you hold him, even as cannons fly around, dangerously close to you- even if you hear your crew members shouting at you in confusion, you hold him. Because it’s Luffy and you can never say no to him.
Luffy kisses your jaw and then your neck and whispers an 'I love you' into your ear, making your face hot and as red as a tomato.
---
Bonus:
“What was that about?” Zoro grumbles out, chugging down his fifth cup of sake.
Nami finishes chewing on her stake before nodding her head. “Yeah. We were in the middle of a fight and y’all left us to… hug?” She tries to make sense of it, and you can’t help her, because you’re just as confused as she is.
You shrug your shoulders and everyone looks to Luffy who scrapes the rest of his food up with his hands. He finishes with a burp and smiles. “Because I’m the captain!”
The crew groans and Nami gets a few punches in while you and Robin laugh.
What a weird captain you chose to follow.

Wildcats (XXXIV)
XXXIV. In the hen house
MASTERLIST
Summary: The foxes are inside the hen house
Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Zombie apocalypse AU, living dead, zombies, guts, blood, guns, kissing, longing, smut!, talks about torture, THE SANCTUARY AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT, meaning ‘slavery’, torture, involuntary imprisonment, hard labour, work for safety, coerce into marrying, polyamorous marriage, might miss some important warnings, but you know what this is about
+18, MINORS DNI
Notes: Sorry for the delay, lost the traction on this story.
It as some sort of ritual they put him through
Daryl was never going to forget the face Negan made, the sick smile he gave him.
“That’s my soldier”, he purred. He gave Dwight a signal and he opened the door, “I told you I was going to get you a new pair of shoes, right?”, he teased, Laura entered the room, Fat Joey and a couple of others entered in tow
“Tell Frankie I want her to… attend… Daryl boy here, as his new rank implies”, Laura just smirked at him and nodded, “and tell Tanya to pull something together for him, and to Sherry”, Negan said this staring directly at Dwight, “ell, just to make him feel more comfortable”, he demanded. “Follow her, would ya?”, said Negan, Daryl looked at him one last time and decided to do it.
There was something different about Daryl now, despite the bruises of the brutal beating they gave him a couple of hours ago, he stood tall this time, his step was more sure, and he had a determined look in his eyes
A look Negan had seen in each of his men, his saviors
He smirked as he saw Daryl walk away from him
The first stop was another room, but this one seemed to be some sort of closet, where piles and piles of clothes were laid, hangers filled with pants and others with henleys, shirts, you name it. For every size and gender
“Pick some clothes savior”, Daryl actually flinched when he heard Laura call him that, but he needed to pick his battles and if it was true that Negan was going to grab you, he needed to get dressed, you couldn’t see him like that, not again.
He grabbed some jeans, a dark blue henley. and underwear, socks and a boxer. and a tank top to wear underneath. But then he remembered something.
“Yeh, give me my vest back”, he demanded, reaching with his hand towards Dwight, who was standing by the door, he smirked as he removed his vest slowly.
“Have it cleaned”, he said to Fat Joey, which he nodded quickly and ran to accomplish his command.
“My bike too”, he said then
“It’s yours, I told you, didn’t I?”, he said, raising his hands in the air. Daryl was learning where he fit in the food chain right now, he turned and grabbed a pair of biker boots on his size, and nodded, grabbing onto the clothes against his chest.
“I’m moving people, just need two vehicles, we are grabbing a very special guest, meet me at the gate in five”, Negan’s voice boomed through the walkie talkie
Then the squadron took him to a big bathroom, in one of the superior levels.
“Please, rinse thoroughly”, mocked Laura as he let him inside.
It was a big bathroom, all white tiles, and a big spacious shower.
Only with you in his mind he regulated the water, not really waiting until he peeled the disgusting suit out of his body, and got in. The water on his tired body felt heavenly, and merely second he looked down and saw all the dirt and grime on the floor of the shower.
He looked around and he saw… anything he could need was in there. shampoo, conditioner, soap, liquid soap, in bar, in all smells and colors, He grabbed a loofah? its that what was it called? and the most manly-smelling soap he could find and he rubbed himself raw with it. Until his skin was red.
He tried to push aside all of his dark thoughts, of all the stuff they pulled on him since they took him. How they left him naked, how they didn’t let him sleep, how they… beat him up.
He had to put it aside… for now… now he got you involved in this, so, now, he was going to have to pull in twice the work, because of any mistake, and you were the one who was going to pay for it. By now he had a pretty good guess of what Negan’s modus operandi was.
He took care of himself like he had never done before.
He shampooed his hair, he even got a bit of conditioner in there, he washed his face thoroughly, he got soap in every nook and cranny of his own body, and made sure to rinse himself too. If he was going to play at being a soldier, he needed to look like one.
There were towels waiting for him, and as he looked around the all white room he thought himself to be in some irreal situation, he couldn’t believe what was going on.
He dried himself pretty quickly, and got dressed.
How long has it been since he had clean clothes?
He didn’t take the one the Alexandriands offered him when he got there, down the line he might grab something on that mission in DC, but it had been a while.
He got dressed pretty quickly, the clothes fit him perfectly, and then he opened the door.
“Oh my!”, mocked Laura, “who would have thought that under all that… a decent man was hiding, (y/n) is a lucky girl”, Laura eyed him up and down with a smirk on her face, Daryl only growled something incoherent.
“Next stop, follow me”, she said.
She led them to the top levels of the factory. He knew this way, he knew where they were taking him. his grim commitive left him in the lunge of all of Negan’s wives
Sherry was there to receive him.
“You said it”, she wasn’t asking, she was accusing him, her face showing how conflicted she was. Sherry then looked behind Daryl, at Dwight
“We’ll take it from here”, she said, and in front of Laura’s amused glance, she closed the double door on their faces.
“He… threatened me with her”, he said shortly, she looked back at him, with sadness in her big brown eyes and nodded
“He tends to do that”, she said, “is she going to be… one of his wives?”, Daryl shook his head
“Nah”, he looked around and he saw all these beautiful women looking back at him with curiosity in their eyes
“No sex”, Sherry warned, and he looked back at her like she just slapped him
“I dun’…”, he denied with heated cheeks, “dun want nothin”
“We are supposed to… take care of him”, contradicted Frankie
“Not in that way”. Daryl didn’t want anything to do with these women, but they grabbed him and made him sit on a comfortable sofa. Frankie went to stand behind him, and started rubbing his shoulders, massaging his back. He flinched at her touch, he didn’t want to be touched by anybody by you, but then he decided to let her touch him, if she didn’t do her job, Negan could punish her.
Sherry came towards him and sat in front of him
“You know how he is now”, she said, “so will have to do as he says… or else”
“He will use ‘er to make me”, he said shortly
“I’m not gonna lie, I don’t get why he let you keep… being married to her”
“We ain’t married”, he said.
“Negan wants to play with you”, she said shortly. He only looked back at her, frowning, he kind of knew that, but still…
He didn’t want to play along, he didn’t, but when Tanya lifted a ridiculous silver top, revealing what she as a chef had prepared for him, he dove right in, not even bothering to use utensils. It was some sort of pasta with a creamy sauce. It seemed like Negan was even taunting him with you, your favorite dish. He just figured out how hungry he was, after days of being fed with nothing but dog-food sandwiches.
He felt watched, all the women on the lounge were staring at him, but he didn’t care, he drank all the beer they offered him and ate the whole thing. Licking his fingers right after.
Sherry brought him a scotch to wash it all down
“Does he do this often?”, he asked her, in a way only she could hear, “offer the lot of you like this?”
“Never”, she said, “I mean sometimes, but he is always in the room with us”, he hummed, “he doesn’t let other men touch us”
“He went to get her, didn’t he?”, she asked him
“Yeah”, she admitted.
Laura came back to the lounge an hour later, when she made sure he had been “treated” good enough. With a nod towards Sherry, he left the room with an uneasy feeling, a shiver down his spine.
“You are one of us now Dixon”, she said, as they got to the main floor of the factory, “which means you are on top of the food chain, you answer only to Negan”, she said looking at him, he wants you here, in the Sanctuary”
“Right”, he mumbled, as he saw the workers, a dread settled in his gut, as he saw all the people there
“They work for points, they work for us”, she said, “you want something, you write your name, you get it, got it?”, she asked, “we give them safety, they feed us”
This was more than just that, Daryl thought, this was worse than the old world order. As he saw all these people down there, and him looking at them from above.
And then he saw him, at the other side of the floor.
Negan was looking straight at him and smiling. He was flanked by Dwight and Fat Joey, Laura took him straight for him.
“There you are!”, Negan greeted, with that mocking smile on his face, “Looking sharp Daryl”, he said, “can’t wait to let you loose on my communities”, he said with a smile. And Daryl didn’t like that, not at all, and Negan could see it in his face, “but first…”, he said, pointing at him with his leather gloved hand. “...I want you to see how good I treat my men”, he started walking, and Dwight signaled him to follow suit, the four of them did.
The walk was painfully slow and long, as everyone kneeled at the sight of their leader and talked praises to him, and Negan, being the theatrical man he was, thanked and greeted each and every one of them.
Then, they stopped in front of the door that they led him that morning.
Dwight gave him his vest back, that he put on immediately, and offered his clothes that where his before they took him, he only retrieved the red cloth he had always on the back of his pants and threw the rest on the floor, “this too”, he said, passing him his crossbow. Daryl took it without a second thought, and then Dwight passed him the little box he had hidden on his vest, the one he let Negan dissacrate.
“Now Daryl, let me tell you, I don’t like it when my saviors live in sin with their ladies, so… make an honest woman out of her would you?”, he mocked. Daryl just looked at him as he pocketed the ring on his vest again. “quickly… if I were you”, now they were back in the front of the door Negan took him in the morning
“Welcome to the rest of your life, soldier”, said Negan, as Dwight opened the door to the room.
Negan padded him on the back before he pushed him in.
There you were, sitting on the bed. Daryl’s breath got caught in his throat when he saw you, “all dolled up” for him, you were wearing a dark green tight dress that hugged your curves and some high heels
“There you go tiger”, Negan teased, “All pretty for her man!”, he laughed, he winked at you and then they closed the door to leave the two of you alone.
You stumbled when you tried to stand up weaning those ridiculous shoes, but it didn’t matter because Daryl was right there to catch you and hugged you tightly in his arms. The hug didn’t last long, he searched your face to eat your mouth hungrily, he kissed you roughly, like he was claiming you, you tried to keep up, caressing the back of his head.
He finally released you, leaving you breathless
“You were crying”, he said softly, caressing your cheeks with his thumbs, you tried to cover it up but you guessed you failed, as Daryl knew you too well.
“I’m sorry, I was scared”, you admitted, “they took me, I didn’t know what was going to happen”, you whispered, “Negan tends to be… unpredictable, you never know what he is going to do with you”, you looked at him wondering where the other shoe was going to drop, Negan didn’t specify much
“Ya safe ‘ere”, he whispered, “yer with me”
“I know”, you assured him, and when you looked at his face, and around, and the way Negan spoke to him�� you could only assume
“Did you…?”
“I’m one of his now”, he said, caressing your face with his thumbs
“I’m sorry”, you offered, he looked at you with shiny eyes, he looked like beaten puppy, “because of me you had to say his name, join this insanity”, you whined, he didn’t say anything, he walked towards you and grabbed you, pulling you to your feet gently, and then he grabbed your face and kissed you, fiercely, needily
“You got nothin’ to be sorry fer”, he mumbled. And then he kissed you again, “what the hell ya wearin?”, he asked, releasing you and looking you up and down
“Negan has a very twisted sense of humor”, you mumbled, looking up at him, at his beautiful eyes, “he said that if I wanted to stay here with you, I couldn’t just be dressing like…”, he had also said that now you were the wife of one of his soldiers you needed to ‘take care of him properly’, and that included looking ‘fine’ but you didn’t want to tell him that.
“Ya’ aint in an auto shop”, he said for you, you smiled, “I’ll get ya out of it”, he promised, kissing you again, his big hands were on you in a second, grabbing you by your hips and then caressing everything in their path towards the back of your dress. Oh, he wanted to go all the way, which surprised you a bit.
“Wait”, you called, when he opened the zipper, he stopped immediately, searching your eyes
“Wanna stop?”, he asked
“No, it’s just… right now?”, you asked him, “here?”, you loved having sex with Daryl, but you had this notion that having sex in a ‘safe’ environment, where you both were comfortable, safe and in controlled privacy was the one condition that was not negotiable.
“Yes here”, he said, and kissed you again. You gave yourself directly to him, no more doubts or questions
The cold air hit you as he released you from the dress. He lowered you down onto the bed gently then, with a soft smile on his handsome face.
Now you were only in your underwear, but he took care of that quickly. Now you were naked, with only your heels on, and he looked down at you with such hunger it made you tremble. He was still fully clothed, but he had no intention to change that as he took himself out of his jeans.
You whined in need, the image of him stroking himself, kneeling on the bed, looking down at you, it was just too much. You spread your legs for him, and he dove in, kissing you again roughly.
“Christening the bed of our new home already?”, you teased, and he got comfortable between your legs. He teased your entrance with his thick fingers making you whine, before he even tried to.
“Daryl”, you moaned when he pushed in the tip of his cock inside you, “fuck”, you whined.
“Tell me… yer mine”, he demanded, and even though this part of his truly… surprised you, you looked up at him to see longing in those beautiful eyes of his.
“I’m yours”, you assured him, and looking at him more, all cleaned up, made you glad, a huge contrast of what you saw yesterday. And you wondered if this was his way of… healing, of wanting to get better. Of having you, to assure him that it was all over and he was going to be fine.
You let him, as he filled you up completely, making you tremble and moan under him.
“Daryl, I love you, I’m yours”, you confessed, you surrendered yourself completely to him.
He fucked you roughly against the mattress, kissing you hungrily, caressing every inch of skin he could get his hands on, he made you finish twice before he found his own release, filling you with his cum and a grunt, as he looked down on you, still, fully clothed, his jeans rough against the skin of the inside of your thighs
He used his arms at each side of your head to not crush you under his weight, as he tried to recover his breath.
You tried to caress him, but you only found fabric instead of skin and you did not like that.
“Was I too rough?”, he asked
“No, I’m fine”, you assured him, caressing his arms, his shoulders, trying to give him comfort. He let himself drop to the bed by your side, and the cold of the room made you tremble. He was quick to notice and grabbed a blanket from the foot of the bed and covered you with it.
You cuddled against his side, and he surrounded your shoulders with his arm.
“At least we are here together”, you tried, he hummed, this Daryl, was new to you, you didn't know how to play this game you had been dealt. “When all of this is over”, you said gently, “I think… we should go away”
“What ya’ mean?”, he asked
“We could find a nice cabin… near Alexandria, and we could live there, together, would you like that?”, you asked him, “just us two… in the woods… we could come back to Alexandria whenever we want…to trade, and see our family…”
“I’d like tha”, he said, caressing your back, “just us two”
“You could teach me how to hunt…”, you tried, “I could teach you… something in turn”, you giggled softly.
“I’d like ta teach ya”, he whispered against your temple, kissing it afterwards.
“I love you Daryl”, you whispered, “I’m yours”, saying it right now, ‘sober’, and not in the heat of the moment might be what he needed to hear
“And I love ya”, he assured you back, kissing the top of your head.

Nap time
Pairing: Roronoa Zoro x fem!reader
Summary: it doesn’t seem but Zoro is very, very much considerate
Masterlist
Having a low social battery was not something meant for a pirate, but here you were, on a ship living adventures left and right.
Taking naps around the Thousand Sunny was always a quest itself: the girl’s dorm, even tho it was the best option in reality was the worst. Luffy will barge in full force and you would fall from your hammock; Nami’s studio was very not a nice option. Yes, the woman was silent all the times but Sanji was too loud for you, waking up and making you grumpy for the rest of the day; Chopper’s infirmary? To avoid after a huge battle; the deck? Too much chaos; the garden? Unless you wanted to burn under the sun, go ahead, if not, avoid.
The only place that was a safe place was the crow nest. That part of the ship was avoided from everyone thanks to being Zoro’s place to train and nap. Sanji wouldn’t come unless to inform food was ready; Luffy and Usopp had better stuff to do downstairs, you thought they even forgot about it sometimes; Brook and Franky would be too busy with their things; Jimbe, Nami and Robin knew better to not bother you.
After a hot shower, you were ready to go and relax to your new spot. Your body was aching to lay down and sleep, your muscles so relaxed that you didn’t know how you managed to get on top without falling.
Entering the small room you were happy it wasn’t a complete mess, but again it never was when you wanted to go there. This was something that always puzzled you. Knowing Zoro this was out of his character.
You shrugged it off, too tired to think too much about it.
Checking around you found a pile of towels on the desk and you were so glad about it. Taking one, you covered the pillow and after some seconds you were gone into dreamland.
Zoro knew your current position. He had been searching for you around the Thousand Sunny to ask you something, a stupid question to be honest.
“Ohi moss head, have you asked YN what she would like for dinner?” The swordsman only shook his head no, getting a death glare from the blonde pirate. “You forgot didn’t you? Ah I always have to do things myself” before the cook could leave the kitchen Zoro stopped him by gripping the collar of his white shirt.
“I didn’t forget. She is sleeping in the crow nest” he said with his stoic voice. “And honestly, don’t you know what she likes?” The tone was more teasing this time, exposing a sensitive nerve.
Zoro spent the rest of the day training and avoiding people to bother you: he would help out Nami with folding clothes; helping Chopper reorganize his set of new medicines; threaten Usopp and Luffy every time they tried to climb to the crow nest, all this untill he thought you had rested enough to survive dinner.
He climbed up easily, used to do it on a daily basis. Opening the door he tried to be as gently as possible, to not give you a scare. Even his steps are light, something he never imagined was possible for him, but yet, here he was. Walking on eggshells to not scare you.
“Y/N” it was a whisper even if he didn’t mean to, it just came out like that. “Are you still asleep?” You shifted position, still sleeping, he took it as a yes and was going to leave when he noticed you were going to fell anytime soon.
He didn’t know what to do, he didn’t want to wake you up, but he didn’t want you to fall either. He tried is best to move you closer to the wall, but he kinda failed.
“Is dinner ready?” You asked, half asleep. Zoro thought the world stoped for a second, he hated to feel this way when it was about you. He hated how much he cared for you. He hated… “I hope Sanji remembered to not put veggies in my plate” you said standing up.
The swordsman was just able to keep silent, what was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to tell you he remembered the cook what you liked or didn’t like? The man couldn’t say a word no matter how much he tried to.
“Have you recharged or I have to stop…”
“Is okay, don’t scare Luffy away.” You stoped him and left the room before he could ask you if you were sure. “Let’s go.” You added.
Zoro came back to reality after a while, he was not catching feelings, was he? He cares for you as much as he did for the others. Okay maybe he cared a little bit more il for you but just a tiny bit. Just a bit more, maybe. He shook away the thought, following you down on deck. He was totally making sure Luffy wouldn’t bother you too much, that was a fact.

Part 2 Word Count: 8k
Part 2
Saturday
Head pounding, you pull your tired body up in the bed. Rubbing your hands on your face, you look over to the other side of the bed and notice it empty. You can’t hear anything either, until the hinge of the bathroom door creaks, and Frankie steps out, already dressed for the day in a fitted black t shirt and cargo shorts, his signature hat perched comfortably on his head.
He comes to a stop at the end of the bed and rests his hands on his hips, “Well, morning sleeping beauty.”
You grunt and grab his pillow from beside you before throwing it at him. He easily bats it out of the way and smiles. “Feeling fresh and ready to enjoy the day?” He asks with far more gusto than you would prefer given your state of unwell.
Peering at him through hooded eyes you reply, “Frankie just, leave me here to rot, go get brunch.” You say, as you rest your head back down on the pillow.
Grinning, he comments, “Alright well, I uh- left out some water and Advil for you there. Thought you might need it.” He shuffles on his feet, trying to play off the incredibly thoughtful act as a moment of complete nonchalance.
Pulling the comforter down off your face, you look at him and then the nightstand, “Oh, thanks Frankie.”
He nods, “No problem I’m gonna, uh- I’m gonna go catch up with everyone.” he says, gesturing to the door, before fumbling around with his wallet and room key and heading out.
Once you’ve finally collected yourself enough to run your drained body through the shower and pull a brush through your hair, you make your way to the dining room with sunglasses adorned on your face. You were still working on getting back to yourself after the brutal hangover you’ve been feeling and did not want to risk running into Juan without covering up the grim bags under your eyes.
Bennys eyes brighten when you approach the full table and he gestures to you, “Oh, there she is our beautiful and not at all dead looking friend.”
They all clap along with him as you wave your hands, conceding to his comment.
“Still look better than you Miller.” You say, sitting down and beginning to eat your pile of breakfast food you’ve collected from the buffet.
Blaire offers you a sympathetic smile, “Oh don’t listen to him, just start thinking about seeing Juan later and I’m sure your energy will come right back.”
“Mm, you’re right. We’re going to the beach today, right? Maybe I’ll get a nap in while I’m there so I’m nice and refreshed.”
Wendy taps her hands on the table and straightens up in her seat, “Right, so once you’re all done, I think we can head there after we’re all changed. Maybe some beach volleyball if you’re all down?”
The group gives their approval for the days’ activities and departs once you are done eating to get ready for the hot Bahamas rays and stunning waters.
Th sun scorches your skin as you lay your towel down on a reclined chair on the beach next to the girls. You pull your bathing suit cover off, revealing your tiny black bikini that shows every bit of skin that you’re looking to show off this weekend. Grabbing your sunscreen, you sit down on the recliner and begin to apply it on yourself. You see Frankie standing just to the side, apparently looking out to the water’s horizon, however, if you could see under the mirrored sunglasses he has on, you’d be able to see that his eye line follows every movement of your hands as you apply the sunscreen to your smooth skin.
Rolling over onto your stomach you gesture to Frankie with the sunscreen, “Hey roomie, could you get my back and shoulders?”
He gulps and tries his best to feign annoyance. “I see what you’re doing.”
“What am I doing Frankie?” You say, mimicking your innocence of yesterday.
He huffs, “Fine, but you asked me, so it doesn’t count as anything.” He says, waving his hands casually before you.
You pop your eyebrows up and down and lay back down on the recliner.
Frankie sits on the side of the recliner and wishes to all that is good in this world that your ass didn’t have to look that good in your bikini. He squeezes the sunscreen into his hand and looks down at your nearly bare back. Taking a deep breath, he begins rubbing the lotion onto your back and shoulders, trying to be mindful of the top of your bikini bottoms.
You let out a quiet moan that could only be heard by him, “Seriously?” He asks in a sarcastic tone.
“Sorry, just feels so nice and relaxing.” You say, giggling to yourself.
He rolls his eyes and finishes rubbing the lotion on you, patting your shoulder when he’s done and standing up from the recliner with a grunt.
A while later you’re woken from your slumber with a smack on your ass, you turn swiftly to see Sofia hovering over you, “Hey bitch wake up it’s volleyball time.”
With a groan of sleepiness, you get up from your comfortable position and make your way to the volleyball court on the beach your friends are situated at.
The game is certainly waking you up and making you feel a little more energetic. Wendy suddenly taps your elbow and points over to the water, “Hey isn’t that, Juan?”
Your eyes snap over to where she is pointing, you pull your sunglasses up slightly to look more intently and sure enough see the same man you were flirting with last night. Today though he is shirtless with short swim trunks. His tan chest was chiseled, and his 6 pack was undeniably sexy. Biting your lip briefly you give Wendy an excited look before turning your attention back to the man by the shore.
Raising your hand to wave, you are just about to call out his name when suddenly a THUD- in the form the volleyball strikes you right in the head. You turn and look with a shocked expression on your face to see Santi standing on the opposite side of the net with his shoulders at his ears and a grimace on his face.
“Sorry!” he yells over to you, waving his hand as an apology.
You nod your head and look back to the shoreline, where Juans stunning physique has now disappeared from. Chewing the inside of your cheek you look around for a moment before returning your attention to the game.
The music in the resort nightclub is booming and the crowd is carrying on with the same energetic dancing as the previous nights.
You and Blaire are situated in the middle of the dance floor after a few too many drinks enjoying the night. Your eyes continue to scan the room for your mysterious love interest, though admittedly, dropping back to Frankie in the booth. His hair is especially curly this evening, poking out of his hat after spending the afternoon in the water. His cheeks are rosy from being in the sun today and his black t shirt was open on the top 3 buttons, exposing the small patch of chest hairs. You are dressed in a tight red dress that hugs each and every curve with black heels that have straps around your ankles, and a special pair of black lace panties for your potential suitor that night. If he ever shows up that is.
A hand finds its way to your waist, and you turn swiftly in it, placing your hands firmly on Juan’s chest as he looks down at you with a devious grin.
“Hey beautiful, sorry I took so long to get here. My buddy is pretty much blacked out in his room right now, so I had to make sure he was alright.” he says, inching closer to you and wrapping his arm around you.
Smiling back at him you fumble with the buttons on his shirt casually and look up to meet his gaze, “It’s okay, I’m just glad to see you here now.”
You look back over your shoulder to discover that Benny had seen Juan’s attendance and joined his girlfriend on the dance floor. Subjecting everyone to his terrible white boy dance moves.
You and Juan fall into a comfortable routine of grinding against each other and sneaking back to the bar for shots, as well as stealing heated kisses, all of which had your head spinning. He was a nice guy, for real he was, but you knew it was just a vacation fling. He didn’t give you those butterflies that you knew you were supposed to have.
Finally, feeling the effects of all the liquid you drank, you offer your apologies as you exit to seek the washroom. He leans in and tells you that he’ll be at the bar getting some more drinks.
Feeling so much lighter and not having to squeeze your thighs together any more due to the incessant need to pee, you return to the dance floor and peer over to the bar. However, Juan is nowhere to be seen. You look around and sneak a peak at the booth your friends are at, but still nothing. In a huff you walk over to the bar, just for your elbow to be tapped by Juan over to your side. Your smile spreads across your face until you notice his worried expression.
He leans in with his hands planted firmly in his pockets, “Hey, I uh- I’m gonna head back to my room.”
You perk up and run your hands on his chest, “Okay, that sounds good to me.”
Juan slightly recoils at your touch and pulls a half smile, “Oh, no just by myself. It was nice meeting you, but uh- I don’t think it’s gonna work out. Have a nice night though.”
Before you can pick your jaw up off the floor he has turned and is heading to the doors. Your head spins from the alcohol and the complete 180 degree change your date has just had. Turning on your heels you go over to the dance floor where the girls are all dancing to the Britney Spears throwback booming through the speakers.
“Hey, what happened to Juan?” Blaire asks.
You shrug, “I don’t know. I thought things were going great and then all of a sudden, he bailed on me. I don’t know what even happened.” Crossing your arms you think back to the conversations you had and look for any red flags you may have put forth.
Wendy bites her lip and looks up in thought, “I saw him talking to Frankie at the bar after you left to go to the washroom, maybe he would know?”
Your eyes narrow in suspicion, and you excuse yourself to go to the bar. As you squeeze through the crowd you see Frankie seated on a stool with his broad shoulder facing you, looking up at one of the TVs. You tap his shoulder, and he spins slowly in the stool to face you, his expression dropping slightly.
“Hey um- this is weird to ask but did Juan say anything to you when you were talking to him. Like about me? He just left in a hurry, and I don’t really know what I did wrong I guess.” You say with your arms crossed and shoulders hunched forward, suddenly feeling very self-conscious.
Frankie swallows deeply and hums to himself, “Uh, nope he didn’t say anything about you.” Taking a drink from his beer, his eyes are somewhat sympathetic.
Biting your bottom lip you nod, “Oh okay, well worth a shot I guess.” You motion to turn but before you can Frankie interjects.
“It might’ve had something to do with what I said to him though.”
Your head whips back and eyes bulge, heat growing between your ears. “And what did you say to him?”
He smirks to himself and replies, “I told him that we were a couple, were looking for a third and that I was really excited to get to know him.” He chuckles and winks at you before bringing his beer back to his lips.
Head spinning, eyes burning you stutter out, “What, - what the fuck Frankie why would you say that?”
“Probably because his face was funny as hell when I told him, plus that guy was a total tool, you should be thanking me.” He responds with a smile.
Your emotions get the better of you and you shove him directly in the chest with both hands, “Dammit Frankie! He was not a tool he was a good guy. I can’t fucking believe you!” You turn on your heels and storm towards the exit.
Frankies eyes bug out and he quickly chugs his beer before slamming it down on the bar top to rush after you.
Your friends see the kerfuffle from their comfortable seats in the booth. All quietly wondering what was to come from this fight. Santi and Sofia give each other knowing looks before they all return to their evening.
All you could hear during your stampede to your room was the trailing footsteps of Frankie’s shoes and his meek calls for you to stop.
Finally getting to your room you slide the card in and heave the door open before whipping it hard to close. Frankie’s hand finds its way between the door and the latch to squeeze in and follow your step once more.
“Hey, come on are you seriously that mad?” he asks, with his arms spread and exasperation on his face.
You whip around to face him, placing your hands on your hips. “Yes, Frankie I am fucking mad. You had no right to do that. I don’t even understand why you would give a shit if I hooked up with him tonight.”
His face drops with his hands, “I don’t know, I just, fuck I don’t know Birdie.”
“Oh no, don’t even start with that Birdie shit. You have never once in your entire time knowing me used my real nickname so don’t start now.” You turn your attention to your suitcase and begin throwing items into it.
“What are you doing?” He asks, watching your fumbled state.
Not even looking over your shoulder you reply, “Getting the fuck out of this room. Have fun cuddling Santi tonight.”
Frankie steps inward and crowds you, “Come on don’t do that. Just talk to me, why are you leaving.”
You turn quickly in your spot, standing now just inches from him. Raising your head to speak directly into his face. “You wanna know why? Fine, you are the biggest narcissist I have ever met.” You begin, counting out on your fingers your reasons. “You ruined my date, and my vacation. And you’re too busy wallowing in your own self-pity to realize how your actions affect other people. Are those enough reasons to leave?”
He sucks his teeth and looks down at you, “Are there any reasons to stay?” he asks calmly.
“Hm, not that I can think of. Can you think of one?” You ask sarcastically, glaring at his deep brown eyes.
In an instant his mouth crashes into yours. Your eyes bulge as you take in the moment, before quickly falling victim and wrapping your arms around his neck. He grabs your hips and pulls them in closer to press against him. It’s all tongue and teeth as you devour each other next to the mini fridge of your hotel room. He slides his hand into your hair to pull your head back, granting him access to nip and suck at your neck as you moan and run your hands through the hair at the nap of his neck.
He turns you on your feet and backs you up until your knees hit the edge of the bed, before pushing you down flat on it. He leans down and grabs your heel to pull it up to his chest and begins pulling the straps off them, peppering kisses along your ankle. Moving to the other. His drunken hands fumble with the clasp, “Fuck sakes you had to choose the most complicated shoes.” He mumbles under his breath.
You roll your eyes, “Shut the fuck up and get down here.”
He eyes you with raised brows and pulls the shoe off your foot before taking his hat in his hand and pulling his shirt up and over his head, placing his trusted hat firmly back on his luscious curls. You bite your lip as you watch him unhook his belt and pull his shorts down, kicking off his shoes in the process.
You widen your legs for him, and he trails his hands up your thighs, sneaking them slightly under the hem of your dress. You rise up on the bed and pull the straps off your shoulders to begin shimmying the dress down your body. He rubs your legs as his eyes widen, watching your plump chest fall free from the fabric of the dress as you continue to scoot it further down your body. His hands raise to grab the material from you, and you lift your hips to allow him to pull it the rest of the way down your body, leaving you bare save for your lacey panties.
He runs a finger lightly over the fabric on your folds, “These were for him then?” he asks quietly.
You nod slowly, he grins and comments. “I guess his loss is my gain then.”
You inch up on the bed as he follows you closely, climbing over your body and launching down to capture your mouth with his teeth. Your hands explore every inch you can reach as you urge him forward. Hips bucking up to seek friction against his hardening length.
He breaks off and looks down between the two of you, “Needy huh?”
Shaking your head with frustration you pull at his curly locks, “Can you just fuck me already?”
His smirks and leans back on his haunches to grab your panties and pull them down your legs, before rolling onto his side and side his boxers down.
When he returns to his position you both drop your gazes. He licks his lips, looking down at your wet pussy, just dripping for him and your eyes pop at the sight of his cock. Long and girthy, a sensational feeling creeps up your spin as you admire his length.
He looks at you, “Did you happen to bring any-,”
“Oh, fuck, yeah just in my nightstand.” You say, pointing over to the table situated beside the bed.
He nods and reaches over to the nightstand to pull out and roll the condom firmly onto himself.
Widening your legs for him he leans back down to bring you into another kiss, reaching down between the two of you to guide his cock into your entrance. The first few pushes burn with the stretch, but it feels too good to slow down. He continues his pace until he bottoms out in you, both of you letting out an agonizing moan as you take in each other.
“You okay?” he asks.
Nodding you reply, “Yeah, yeah fuck, Frankie just move I need to feel you.” Your tone almost begging.
Frankie smiles and begins moving his hips back and forth against you, your eyes roll back at the feeling, and he leans down to capture your nipple in his mouth. Biting it tightly as he slams into you at a pace you haven’t experienced before.
He breaks away momentarily to mutter under his breath, “Can’t believe we’re doin’ this.”
Moans escaping your mouths as the top of his cock presses against your clit with each devastating roll of his hips. You bring him back up to your mouth to pull at his lips with your teeth as he continues to move into you. Deep breaths and the slapping of skin is all that can be heard as the two of you take in each other’s bodies. He lays flat on you, and you wrap your arms around his neck to squeeze as your walls clench around him, sending the most incredible waves up your body and causing your chest to arch into his. He hums at the feeling and then lets out an animalistic grunt as he presses forward one last time, filling the condom inside you.
He stills and rests his head against yours, both of you breathing deeply. “Fuck, what was, fuck was that?”
You giggle under your breath, “I don’t even know.”
Frankie drags his tired body off you and heads to the bathroom. You slide under the sheets and close your eyes, head still spinning from the alcohol and the intense orgasm you just had.
He comes back and lays down next to you resting his arm behind his head and staring up at the ceiling. “Do you uh- do you wanna talk about that or-,”
“No, no Frankie I just, mmm I need to sleep. I’m still too drunk.” You say rolling over on your side and snuggling next to him.
He grins to himself, looking down at your sleepy state, “Okay baby, get some sleep.”
Sunday
Eyes creeping open, you once again feel the weighted body of Frankie against your back and his arm slung over your side. Your annoyance ringing in your ears before the events of last night and your current state of undress crash into you like a freight train. You don’t move, don’t breathe too heavily, as if not engaging in the truth or awakening the world with your presence would somehow make what happened last night not real. Did you want it to be real? No, how could you possibly, he’s an ass, always has been. Last night was just a drunken mistake. Was it? It did feel amazing, and you could’ve stopped it any time, but you didn’t. Have you secretly been thinking about the possibilities since the beginning of this forsaken bet? All these questions swirling around your aching head makes your eyes squeeze shut again, desperately trying to drown out the light and the consequences of your actions.
As if feeling the tension literally emitting from your body, Frankie begins to roll over and move his arm off of you before waking himself. You hold still in the position you are in, pulling your covers close to your chin and hoping he might not see you.
He rubs his eyes and peers over at you, “Mornin’” he says with a groggy voice.
Slowly rolling over onto your other side with a shy smile you look at him with your head rested firmly on the pillow, “Hey.” You whisper.
Frankie rolls onto his side and places a warm hand on your arm that is holding the comforter tight to your neck. “You okay?”
Pulling your mouth into a thin line you nod, “Yeah, just uh, - don’t really know where to go from here. Or what it meant.”
“Yeah, that’s uh, I think a bigger conversation after some coffee.” He smiles, rubbing tiny circles in your arm with his thumb.
You nod and rise out of bed, both of you getting ready silently but politely. Holding the door to the bathroom open for each other, him handing you your sunscreen from the table when you were fumbling in your bag looking for it, you making the bed including his side.
The two of you walk beside each other down to the buffet for brunch, no words, just a comfortable silence. It doesn’t feel like even small talk would be safe until you have a chance to properly talk.
After collecting your much-needed coffee and food, you both sit down at the table with your friends and they all examine your faces, wondering where you stood after last night’s fight.
Wendy rubs your arm sympathetically, “Hey, how you doing? What happened last night?”
Frankie clears his throat to defend you before you interject, “I’m fine, last night was a total misunderstanding. Sorry if I worried you guys.” You say, offering a half-hearted smile.
Benny crosses his arms and leans back, “But like, what made you wanna go round for round with Fish here?”
Biting your bottom lip and looking at Frankie’s deep brown eyes, filled with concern you straighten up and reply, “I thought Frankie ruined my date when he talked to Juan, but I was wrong, he explained himself when we got back to the room and he was right, that guy wasn’t right for me. I didn’t need him, don’t need him.”
Frankie’s face pulls into a short smile, trying to stifle his apparent joy at your story.
Blaire smiles, “Well, I hope you two are still okay if we break off for our couples day today.”
Nodding you reply, “Oh of course, you guys go and enjoy your days. I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
Santi grins to himself and slaps his hands on his thighs as he rises up, “Alright well, if you’ll excuse us, I have a date with my lady and a waterfall.” He says, taking Sofia’s hand and helping her up before waving to the group and departing.
The other two couples stand as well and say their goodbyes, leaving you and Frankie staring down at your plates of food and steaming coffees.
You eat in silence, a million questions racing around your mind with each bite of your toast. Upon finishing your plate, you lean back in your chair to check your phone. Looking at your calendar you’re reminded of something you unfortunately forgot. “Hey, Frankie um, - I’m really sorry but I booked a massage for this morning since I knew they would all be busy. I can always cancel it if-,”
He waves his hands causally towards you, “No, no please go. We can catch up later.” he says, breathing deeply out of his nose.
You smile and nod before getting up and heading over to the spa. During your walk your feet feel like they’re floating and you’re still slightly dizzy from the events of the weekend. Rounding the corner to the spa you look to your right and catch a sight of Juan standing near the checkout desk. He spots you and quickly turns on his feet to face another direction.
Pulling your lips tight to your teeth you huff out of your nose. Yep, that seems about right, you think to yourself. A relaxing massage is exactly what you need to hopefully shut your mind off for a while.
A while later you leave the spa with your body and mind more relaxed. Your hangover has disappeared, and your energy returned, ready to take on whatever the rest of the day called for. While still nervous, you didn’t know what Frankie would think about what happened last night. He has never once shown interest in you during these few years. Was it purely physical or was there more. If there was more, was there more on your side? How would your lives fit together you thought. He lived in the same city as you, had the same friend group as you, partook in the same activities on the weekend as you. Really, your life has been blended for years now. He has a good job and so do you, it seems like it could come together seamlessly. However, there’s still the nagging feeling that is crawling up your neck each time you consider a relationship with him. That feeling comes of course from the relentless taunting and bullying you’ve received from him. You’re tough in the skin and it never bothered you but is that still the type of person you would want to build a life with, having had such a bad foundation to form on.
As your mind drifts in and out of uncertainty, your eyes are unfocused as you turn a corner and come crashing into none other than Frankie Morales.
“Oh, shit sorry.” You exclaim, trying to steady your footing.
He grins down at you and grabs his hat to scratch his head, “Hey, that’s okay I um should’ve been watching where I was going. A little lost in thought I guess.”
You nod and clasp your hands firmly together in front of you, “Hm, yeah, me too I guess.”
Taking a deep breath, he asks casually, “How was your massage?”
“Good, good thanks for asking. Definitely relaxing.”
“That’s good.” He says, both of you drowning in the undeniable awkwardness of the moment.
Frankie clears his throat before asking, “Do you wanna, go for a walk? I saw a trail over at the end of the beach that looks nice.”
Accepting the time has finally come for your talk, you agree and begin the walk towards the beach.
Sun beating down and waves crashing in, the beach is filled with fun seekers and tanners. They all look to be having such an easy-going time compared to yourself whose stomach has not stopped twisting since your sandals hit the warm beach.
You and Frankie remain in your quiet state until he finally finds the trail head and starts down it. He looks beside himself at your flushed chest and chewed lip that you’ve been worrying since you left the spa. “I don’t, really know how to start this I guess.” He says, placing his hands in the pockets of his plaid shorts.
Grinning slightly, you look up at him, “Yeah me neither.”
“I guess, I should first just apologize for what happened with Juan last night. I really am sorry.” he says, looking around at the foliage of the trail.
“Oh right, uh thank you. I appreciate that.” You say before thinking further, “I guess my question from last night was never answered so -,” you trail off, hoping he understands where you’re coming from.
He nods, “Yeah, that I don’t entirely have an answer for I guess.” He scratches the thin patchy beard spread across his chin. “I guess I was just threatened by him and didn’t like the idea of you going home with him, or anyone else really.”
His admission came as a shock, still unclear as to why he had such feelings. “Why did that bother you? I mean, we go to bars together, we’ve both seen our fair shares of one-night stands. It didn’t seem to bother you before.”
“Yeah, I know. Um, just felt different I guess.” he says quietly.
“Different how?” You ask, crossing your arms and growing slightly frustrated.
Taking a deep breath, he pinches the ridge of his nose and thinks. “Sorry, I haven’t done this in a while.” He begins.
“Done what?”
He smiles softly, “Talked about, - talked about my feelings. For someone.”
You take a deep breath in your nose and twirl your thumbs together, still slowly making your way down the trail. “Is that what we’re doing here? Talking about our feelings for each other?”
Before he can reply he looks forward at the scenery the trail has led to. A cascading waterfall atop a simple flowing stream and wildflowers all about. A single two-person bench sits quaintly near the edge of the water.
You laugh to yourself looking around, “Huh, figures. The waterfall for lovers.”
He grins and then offers his hand to you; you look him in the eyes before taking it and allowing him to lead you to the bench.
Frankie sits and rests his elbows on his thighs, taking deep breaths and looking at the water toppling down the cliff side. He turns his head to look at you, “Ask me again.” he says.
You look at him confused, “Ask what again?”
He clears his throat, “Ask me again why I always treated you the way I did. Like you were annoying.”
Biting your lip, your voice comes out as quiet as a church mouse, “Why?”
Frankie’s breath comes out like it hurts, “Because, I thought if I pushed you away like that then it would be easier. I liked you as soon as I met you, but I just, I was a mess when I was discharged, and I didn’t want to burden you with all that. I wasn’t ready for whatever this could be. So, I thought if I didn’t get close to you then I wouldn’t have to worry about you developing feelings for me. Making you hate me seemed better than disappointing you.”
It was heart wrenching hearing Frankie speak so highly of you and so poorly of himself. Floods of emotions came, and you had to know more about what you were considering at this moment. “What about now? Are you ready now?”
“Now?” he began, “Now, I have a steady job and a therapist that helps me take care of my mind. I have friends who are all happy and have moved on from everything we went through in the service. Now, I’ve spent 72 hours with you and during that short time you managed to break through all the walls I had built and the cage I put myself in.”
You want to respond, want to apologize that you may have pushed him too far, especially with the bet, and that you could give him more space, but he continued before you could pull the strained voice from your throat.
“I think I am ready now. I think I’ve worked hard these last few years to become a man you deserve. I think you deserve the world, I really do, and while I can’t give you that, I’m hoping I may be enough.” His deep brown eyes well up with emotion and he tries not to look directly at you.
Your chest tightens and your breath stops. This isn’t the Frankie you knew, no, this is new. This Frankie is different. This Frankie doesn’t have sharp edges or a quick wit. This Frankie, this Frankie is one you could fall in love with.
“Frankie, I have been extremely surprised by you this weekend. I have yelled at you, laughed with you, and experienced things I didn’t think were possible. I’m gonna need some time to catch up, because up until a few days ago, I absolutely hated your guts.” You and he both laugh for a moment, and he takes your hands in his. “But, if you’ll allow me the time, I’d like to try to catch up to where you are, because I really like you and I want to see where this could go.”
His eyes lighten and his smile beams, “Shit really?”
Nodding you reply, “Yeah, I guess Fish and Birdie do kind of go together anyway.” You beam and he matches your expression.
Frankie wraps his arms around to bring you into a tight embrace and you stay there still, him holding you and you listening to his rapid heartbeat.
“You know, if I weren’t such a nice person, I might count you confessing your love for me as making a move.” You say giggling to yourself.
He lets out a chuckle, “I think I already lost the bet last night when I kissed you.”
“It’s okay, I won’t count that either. We can split the room, and you can just owe me like 50 dinner dates.” You say pulling yourself out of his arms to lean in and plant a loving kiss to his lips.
“Deal. Now that I’m sure the waterfall worked its magic, we should head back.” He says, taking your hand again and helping you off the bench.
Your mouth gaps, “Did you know this was down here?”
His face grows embarrassed, “Uhhh, yeah, I did. I figured I needed all the help I could get.”
You laugh together and take his hand in yours, traveling back down the path.
“You didn’t completely hate my guts, right?” he asks inquisitively.
Rolling your eyes you reply, “Oh big time. Couldn’t fucking stand you.”
Frankie’s mouth drops in fake offence. You continue, “But, I did think you were cute and may have daydreamed about you a little.”
He smiles and pulls you in to wrap his arm around your waist, “I’ll take it.”
Returning to your room you look at the bed, the scene of the crime. You still haven’t spoken about that part of the situation yet and just thinking about it makes your core ache for more.
Frankie spots your eyeline and follows it to the bed, both of you standing near the edge facing each other and holding hands. He looks back at you, “I didn’t know when would be a good time to talk about, that whole thing. It was a bit impulsive on my side and I’m sorry if it was too soon.”
You shake your head, “No, no it’s okay. It was definitely unexpected, but I don’t regret it at all.”
Nodding he bites his lip, “So uh, what the fuck was that all about then?” he asks, his tone changing to a humorous laugh.
You match his laugh, “Fuck I literally don’t even know. Was it as good for you as it was for me?”
“Pfft, fuck, it was incredible. I can’t wait to see how it feels when I’m not hammered and can actually take my time.” He says, smiling at you, the lines on his face shining brightly with his expression.
You both look over at the bed again, chewing the inside of your cheek, before looking back at each other.
Moving as one, you close together and bring your hands to his face and his on your waist. Encapsulating each other in a heated kiss. His tongue pushes against your lips, which you happily encourage with your own tongue. You quickly become impatient and begin pulling at each other’s clothing. Unbuttoning his shirt as fast as your fingers can manage while he pulls at your shorts and pushes them down your legs. Once you’ve sufficiently rid yourselves of your clothes, save for Frankies hat, he turns you and sits you down on the edge of the bed.
“I’m gonna take care you baby alright?” he says, kneeling down and kissing the inside of your thighs as you lower your body flat on the bed and spread your legs for him. He swiftly turns his hat backwards and hums as he swipes a finger through your slick folds, “I didn’t get a good look at you last night, you have the most perfect pussy I have ever seen.”
“Oh stop, you’re just saying that.” You say with a giggle.
“Does this make you feel like I’m lying?” he asks, before diving in like a man starved of food for weeks.
Your back arches immediately as he expertly takes you apart with his tongue. Bouncing around between your entrance and clit. Your moans permeate the room with each swipe. Before you can even realize what’s happening, the string in your core is snapping and your orgasm is rushing through you. Frankie can feel your pussy plump out for him, and he quickly slides two fingers into your entrance for you to clamp down on. The sudden intrusion descends you into another wave of your orgasm. Hands grasping desperately at the bed spread, breath deep, you finally come down from you transcendent high.
He licks one last agonizing stripe up our folds to your sensitive mound and begins to crawl up the bed to you. “Taste so sweet baby.” He says before latching his mouth to yours.
You take his face in your hands and taste your pleasure on his mouth and mustache. You scoot out from under him and urge him to lay down flat on the bed. “I wanna ride you baby.” You say breathlessly.
He bites his lip and moves on the bed, before he can lie down you reach down to his head and pluck his hat off, planting it on your own backwards. He growls at the sight and steals a passionate kiss before accepting his position as pillow princess.
You reach over to the nightstand and hand him a condom. He rolls it on, and you sit up on your knees over top of his hardening length. Taking him in your hand you swipe him through your dripping folds, before slowly lowering yourself down on him. Each inch sending pleasure through every nerve of your body.
“Fuck, baby, taking my cock so well look at you.” He says, grabbing your hips tightly, no doubt to leave bruises for him to kiss tomorrow.
Bottoming out you let out a primal moan and place your hands firmly on his chest. “Oh, you feel so good.”
“Yeah? Show me how good I feel inside you.” He says through gritted teeth, slowly rocking you on his thick cock.
You raise up and down on him and every time it feels better than the last. Over and over again until you’re both panting from pleasure and overwhelmed. He reaches up and presses his thumb to your clit, so you roll your shoulders back and place your hands behind you on the bed to expose more of yourself to him. Your breasts bouncing with every movement and your head rolling back as your break approaches.
He watches you intently, as if you were a masterpiece in a museum, “Wanna see you come on my cock baby. You look so good when you finish.”
A few more sharp circles of your clit with his thumb and you’re stuttering, “Fuck, Frankie I’m gonna-,” is all you can manage before you begin squeezing him within an inch of his life. He follows immediately after, rutting up into you while he moans from his own bliss.
After a minute of deep breathing and eyes trying to roll back to normal you finally climb off of him and toss his hat off your head. He kisses your cheek before heading to the bathroom to clean up.
He rolls back into the bed with you and pulls you close to rest on his chest, “Mmm, that was great.” He says kissing your head.
“I’m so tired after all that, wanna take a nap?”
“Sounds good to me.” He says.
Hours later you’re awoken by your phone ringing, just missing the call you roll over and peer at the screen. “Fuck.” You exclaim.
Frankie jolts awake and looks at you, your eyebrows furrowed reading your messages. “What’s wrong?”
“That was Sofia trying to call me, looks like she texted me too. They headed down to dinner a while ago.”
He chews his lip and eyes your still naked body, “Would I be a total dick if I said I just wanted to stay here for the rest of the night?”
Turning in the bed with a mischievous look you ask, “No, but whatever would we do with all that time?” with a wink.
“Oh, I can think of something.” He says, leaning over onto you and capturing you in a kiss.
You oblige but quickly push him off, “Can we get room service though, I’m starving.”
Nodding, he replies, “Sure, then I’ll only owe you 49 more dinners.”
Room service took about 45 minutes, which gave you sufficient enough time to fool around again. Now sitting together on the bed, wrapped in the hotel’s fluffy white robes you stuff your faces with pizza and chicken wings while chatting.
“Good thing you brought that box of condoms, huh? Would’ve had me sprinting to the hotel store at 1am last night in nothing but my boxers if you didn’t.” Frankie laughed.
You grin as you swallow another bite of pizza, “Hey I was planning on hooking up this weekend, didn’t know it was gonna be you but, oh well.”
“What size box did you get anyway?” he asks, reaching into the nightstand and pulling out the box. “34!” he exclaims, looking at you with wild eyes. “How much sex were you planning on having this weekend?” he asks, laughing.
You laugh and snatch the box out of his hand, “Hey, I wasn’t gonna use all of them, obviously.”
“I don’t know, sounds like you had some pretty big plans for this weekend.”
Biting your lip, you look him up and down, “No, but something big did come up.” You say with a wink.
He looks at you slightly confused but also amused.
You giggle, “Sorry, dick joke.”
“Oh!” He laughs, “Yeah, one of my more redeeming qualities that’s for sure.”
“I’d say you’re pretty much redeemed at this point.”
Smiling, he looks at you with those damn deep brown eyes that make your heart twist every time now, “I am sorry again about how things have been between us. I really regret hurting you like that.”
“Don’t worry about it, I think a part of me could tell there was more to it. Will and Benny always sang your praises and I trust them so, I figured you couldn’t be as much of a bad guy that you led on.” You reply, taking his hand in yours. “It’s actually kind of exciting now, I get to get to know you all over again. The real you, that is.”
Looking bashful he tucks his head down slightly, “Well, I’ve gotten to know you quite a bit, and I really like you.”
You lean in for a kiss, “Thanks Fish, I really like you too. Does this mean you’re gonna start calling me by my nickname now?”
He goes into a fake deep thought, “Hmmm, I don’t know.” You offer a pout and plump your lower lip out. “Alright, you win, Birdie.” He says with a wink.
Monday
“You ready?” Frankie asks, putting away the last of his things in his suitcase.
Looking around the hotel room you grew a sense of sadness, so much has happened this weekend in this room, and you are sad to see it go. You are worried, worried about how the real world would react to your relationship with Frankie. Praying it wouldn’t reject you like a bad piercing and instead you would be able to blend your lives together and continue how it’s been these last crazy 24 hours.
“Hey,” he says softly, rubbing a hand on your shoulder. “It’s gonna be alright. We’re gonna go home, and get back into our routines, and I’m gonna take you out on a date. Have a chance to treat you right.”
His touch warms you and his words make you swoon. He was so comforting, and so reassuring. The way his eyes twinkle when they look at you could only be described as magic.
Nodding along to his soothing words, you throw your backpack over your shoulders and grab your suitcase, sliding out the door behind him. Once in the hallway, Frankie offers you a caring smile and his hand, which you accept gladly.
Walking into the lobby hand in hand with Frankie Morales was not how you expected this vacation to end, and by the looks on your friends faces it’s not what they were expecting either.
“Well, what do we have here?” Will hums.
Benny whistles and the girls give their ouus and ahhhs.
“Alright calm down you animals.” Frankie says, to settle the crowd of looky loos.
Blaire smiles, “So this is why you two weren’t at dinner and drinks last night, huh?”
“Thought you were dead.” Sofia comments with a laugh.
“Yeah, sorry about that.” You say, steadying your suitcase on the white granite floor. Frankie squeezes your hand reassuringly.
Santi crosses his arms and grins brightly, “Well, I guess my plan worked after all.” he says, winking at Sofia who laughs and swats his arm playfully.
You look at him confused, “What plan?”
He smirks, “Oh, I booked you guys in the same room on purpose.”
Yours and Frankie’s mouths drop as the rest of the group share your shock. Various whats and Popes echoing out from you all.
Santi taps his hands up and down in the air, “Alright, alright calm down. I had to do something after the way I’ve been watching my best friend pine over this woman for the last few years. He wouldn’t make a move, so I just thought if I put them in the same room together for the weekend they’d be forced to-,”
“Fuck.” Benny interjected, giggling.
Sofia shakes her head, “Noo, talk. But I mean, we’re assuming you also….” She begins, giving you an inquisitive look.
You cross your arms and suck your teeth at the thought of your friends tricking you and Frankie, but ultimately nod your head slightly which earns a cheer from the group and causes Frankie to press his hand to his face in embarrassment.
Frankie pulls his hand off his face and points jokingly at Santi, “I’m gonna kick your ass, man. You could’ve told me.”
Santi shrugs, “It had to happen organically, love can’t be forced.” he says, wrapping his arm around Sofias’ waist.
Will leans into the group, “Hey Pope, did you hit Birdie with the volleyball on purpose on Saturday?”
You perk up immediately, snapping your fingers as you point at him. “Hey, yeah that was when I was trying to get Juan’s attention!”
Laughing, he replies, “Hey I was looking out for my boy. Didn’t want that guy messing anything up. I thought about trying to get rid of him that night too, but it seems Fish beat me to it.”
“Oh, you have no idea, that is a funny story for the shuttle ride.” You say, tapping Frankie’s elbow as he smiles at you.
Wendy claps her hands together, “Alright, now that we’ve got that all sorted, let’s head back to reality.”
Quiet groans erupt from the group as they collect their bags and head to the lobby doors. Frankie swiftly grabs your wrist before you can get too far and swings you back into his arms. Looking down at you he smiles, and you smile right back, before he leans down and kisses you tenderly, squeezing you tightly in his strong arms.
And there they were, those butterflies floating around in your stomach, just like you always knew you were supposed to feel when you were with the right guy, at the right time.

After mulling over the thought that Loid and Yor are sterile, here are my pregnant Yor headcanons.
Loid has always been extremely careful in his past relationships. Yor gets pregnant in a broken condom or lack of judgement scenario. Loid stresses about this error until he comes home from work, not quite two weeks later, to Yor napping on the couch with a hot water bottle complaining about cramps. She has some implantation bleeding, she thinks is her period, and despite noticing it is shorter and lighter than usual, she is just relieved it came.
Her next period is late. They have been careful, so she chalks it up to stress at work.
Bond is constantly under her foot and wanting to cuddle with his head in her lap. This is weird to her because Bond usually prefers Anya and Loid, but she is enjoying having a nap buddy because work is pushing her so hard she has discovered she needs one now and again.
She used to give Bond canned food for a treat; now and then, but stops because the smell and feel of scrapping the food from the can make her feel ill.
Yor has discovered her clothes don't fit right. She goes to the tailor to get her uniform let out, declaring it must be Loid's cooking. The tailor notices her wince when she measures Yor's breasts and that her hips have widened a tad, causing a slight change in gait. Years of measuring women daily have made the tailor acutely aware of how a woman's body changes when pregnant.
She asks Yor if she will want to order new uniforms. They have special ones with pleats and expandable waists.
Yor is taken aback. She says, "Oh no, I plan to work harder to get back in shape."
The tailor tells her, "Oh, Yor. Now is not the time to worry about your figure."
"What do you mean?" Yor asks.
The tailor sees her face and remembers Yor grew up without a mother. She smiles softly places her hand on Yor's stomach.
"I don't mean to pry, but I don't think it was just Loid's cooking causing these changes in your measurements, Yor."
Yor's eyes widen.
After an enlightening conversation with the tailor, the tailor sets her up with a doctor's appointment. Yor makes her way home and runs into Loid on the way.
He notices she seems unsettled and asks if everything is alright.
She quietly tells him she has a doctor's appointment in a few days and asks if he will come with her.
"Sure," he replies with concern and in his brains goes, "Oh no. Is she sick? She has seemed so tired lately and didn't touch her hamburg steak last night." Then he really looks at her and, like the tailor, notices the minute changes in her skin, figure, and how she carries herself.
Then his mind really goes off.
It takes two weeks to get the results from the doctor.
Anya tells Becky she is going to be a big sister before Yor and Loid say anything, because their thoughts are so dam loud and she read Bond's mind when he is smelling Yor's stomach one day.
When the results come in, no one is surprised. Loid plays the devoted father, but inside, he is stressing.
When Yor tells the Gardener, he knows the instance she walked in. He has been expecting it. He gives her leave, dismayed to be losing a skilled assassin, but knowing as is, she is likely a liability and appreciative of the work she has accomplished.
Anya works extra hard studying because Loid's thoughts make her worry about what is going to happen to her family and Operation Strix.
When Loid tells Franky, Franky is like, "You fucked up. So much for not getting attached. You were supposed to keep your emotions out of this. What are you going to do?"
For the first time in his career, Twilight has no idea what to do. But he knows what he is not going to do. There is no way he is going to be able to give up his family.
He gets angry about the whole mission. How was he supposed to be a good husband and father for a mission with any sort of long term without getting attached? How do you raise a stellar student without loving and supporting them? Some things you can't fake.
Loid's next update with Handler, he lists the progress made for Operation Strix. "Anya earned a Stella in languages, Damien and her seem to be getting along better, Yor is with child..."
Sylvia is like, "Wait, what?" and smacks him up side the head. They come up with a plan on how to extend Operation Strix because despite her tough demeanor, she was a mother and sympathizes with him.
Yor's pregnancy and labor are relatively easy. I haven't decided if they have a boy or a girl. I absolutely love the idea of Girl Dad Loid, because, "squee", but a son could be interesting. Especially if Loid struggles with the idea of having a child to carry on his name knowing Loid Forger isn't actually his name. But Loid is the truest version of himself he has ever been, and the man he wants to be, so all that angst could be delicious.

sanji and usopp start dating and the crew knows almost instantly because, well, it's not hard to tell and they've been invested in their relationship for a long time (invested = fucking tired of seeing them pining). and now they can finally be happy together and show it to the world freely which, in retrospect, it's fucking awesome. in theory, it's great. but sanji is not used to PDA and even less to people wanting to touch him or accepting his touch. most of the time he's just talk and girls pretty much always ignore him and, well, men- he doesn't have good experiences with men.
but the way usopp touches him in front of the others, oh so domestically and casually... it make his heart go crazy. the cook never knows how to react to that. and, turns out, that even if he's known for his flirtatious personality, he's a blushing mess when things like this happen. but usopp takes this new phase of their relationship so, so well... he's the calmest sanji has ever seen him.
it starts with usopp holding his hand when the crew is walking around a new island together, and they are not even behind them. in fact, everybody can see them holding hands. people often look at them in the streets, strangers. or perhaps that's just sanji's perception. but even if he's all anxious about this and his hand is obviously shaking, he doesn't let go of usopp. the sniper seems to notice this and squeezes his hand a few times to catch his attention and smile at him. sanji's heart lets go of its insecurities for a second, then.
it seems that usopp is extremely comfortable when it comes to touching sanji which, okay, it's understandable because the whole crew is extremely clingy and sanji is not far behind that fact. but he always rests his chin on sanji's shoulder while his hands find their place on his hips to pull him close, as if sanji's body is exactly where he belongs. and the cook is not used to somebody wanting his warmth this much. even less when they're around other people. but usopp does this constantly, with a hint of protectiveness and a little possessiveness. sanji is still getting used to it, but he always ends up holding the hands on his hips or kissing usopp's forehead whenever it happens. his heart feels a bit lighter once he does so. he thinks that, maybe, he can start doing these things too.
usopp doesn't even think about it when he touches sanji, the cook realizes. it happens almost instinctively. because whenever they're sitting somewhere together with the others, his hand always ends up resting on sanji's lap. the first time it happens it drives sanji so fucking insane that he has to take a deep breath and try really, really hard not to focus on it. because otherwise, he'll probably end up going into cardiac arrest. but he likes the feeling of usopp's fingertips on his legs, especially whenever he's talking to somebody else. because it's like telling sanji that he's there for him, even when he isn't even talking to him. that sanji is appreciated there, too.
the way the sniper intertwines their feet together under the kitchen table when they're eating with the crew does things to sanji. because they always sit in a corner of the table (that way sanji, if he needs to go back to the kitchen, it's easier for him to move) and it seems that nobody else notices the way usopp is grinning at him. but sanji knows. sanji knows they could just see the blush covering his face at any moment. and yet, he sits closer to usopp anyway while he takes another bite of his food.
sometimes, depending on the island and the adventure, they sleep in the woods. which is fine with all of them (for the most part. nami isn't that happy about it and sanji wouldn't mind an actual bed), except that it's always so fucking cold. so it's not weird to see them cuddling. it's not odd to see robin and brook resting against franky's huge chest or luffy practically lying on top of zoro. nami cuddles with chopper and jinbe, too. so usopp holding him in their sleep should not be a problem and should not make sanji this nervous. but it makes his heartbeat pound harder and faster than usual. and so he just cuddles closer to him because, well, if he's going to be unable to sleep because of having his boyfriend this close, at least he can enjoy his warmth for the night.
it doesn't matter if they're talking with strangers. people they just met on a new adventure. whenever they're sitting next to each other on a couch, usopp's arm ends up behind his head. which- okay. well. sanji needs a moment to process all of this because even if it isn't a romantic gesture necessarily and they're not even touching, the urge to rest his head on top of usopp's shoulder haunts him. and even if usopp isn't actually doing anything, the fact that they're so close (their legs touching, too. hips touching) isn't doing anything good to sanji's critical way of thinking.
it becomes a habit to bother sanji while he cooks, even when the others are around, too. every morning usopp stays with him while making breakfast. and every morning usopp's hands find their way to sanji's hips. he lazily kisses his neck while he does so, and if sanji burns their food, it's going to be all usopp's fault. it doesn't help that he always finds usopp wearing one of his wrinkled shirts. it- it doesn't help at all.
usopp takes every opportunity to kiss sanji, too, now that he doesn't have to hold back. and it isn't like sanji is complaining in the slightest (he's literally the luckiest man alive) he's just afraid he might fucking die from blood loss. because sanji now has the necessity to bring usopp little snacks and drinks whenever he does so for the girls, and unlike when he did so only for nami and robin, usopp kisses him as thanks every. damn. time. so he has to offer food to his boyfriend after he already has done it for the girls, because if usopp kisses him this tenderly when he's holding food, he might as well drop it from the way his heart beats against his chest.
and, well, sanji is still getting used to this. getting used to being loved like this. it's easy for him to just go over some girl and yell cheesy stuff with a grin on his face because that's not- that's not real. he worships women like goddesses and he does not expect them to love him back. there's safety, there. he knows they're going to reject him and he does not care. but he has been holding back from touching and talking to usopp in so many ways, fearing rejection, that now he doesn't know what to do with everything he feels for him. he thinks he's going to explode. besides, men are- men are different. men's bodies are something he likes, of course, now that he has realized. but it's harder to accept since all the men he has ever known have been so violent towards him. usopp would never, that's for sure but... it still makes him nervous to touch him.
even if he's extremely touch-starved and wants nothing but to kiss his boyfriend every second of his life.
he kind of feels guilty about it. not being able to be the one touching usopp first, even if he always responds to his boyfriend's caresses when the sniper makes the first move.
so sanji thinks that maybe words will help. if he can't be the first one touching usopp, then words will have to be his way of showing affection to him.
sanji keeps calling him everything but his name. honestly, he has forgotten the last time he called usopp something else that wasn't stuff like: mon chéri, mon trésor, mon amour, mon coeur, ma moitié... and, well, all the things usopp has to ask what they mean because he has no idea when it comes to french and sanji loves that just the tone of his voice makes his sniper all flustered. "his sniper" being another pet name, by the way.
it's hard to say he loves usopp at first. because those are strong words and even though it's exactly what he feels, he isn't used to saying it to anybody this seriously. even with his father back at the baratie those words were something they always expressed with actions or were only said when sanji had a particularly rough night when he was younger. but once he gets used to saying them, he can't stop. sanji loses count of how many times he tells usopp he loves him every day. when they wake up. between kisses. between smiles. when they're fighting. when usopp's sleeping. when he's working. when he gives him food. the words always come whenever they're together. and when silence speaks for both of them, sanji feels the need to whisper them into usopp's lips. and whenever they are not together, sanji keeps telling the sea he loves usopp, even if the sniper can't hear him then.
he lets usopp do the talking in bed, most of the time. but whenever sanji gets the chance to speak, he doesn't miss the way usopp's body twitches with every word of praise he pronounces along with his moans. and it's always quiet and low, fearing somebody else might catch them, but it's not like he needs anybody but usopp to hear his confessions of love between his sounds of arousal, thank you very much.
sanji speaks about sogeking the same way he speaks about usopp, perhaps a bit more dramatically. it always makes his boyfriend blush with embarrassment, but he never admits he knows sanji is talking about him. it makes everything more fun, sanji thinks. and perhaps it's easier for usopp to take praise when it's directed to his alter ego instead of him. sanji has always loved the way that cape looks on him.
so they keep touching and talking and showing their love to everybody around them and... they don't care. the crew does not care. in fact, they look happier than when they weren't dating (if you ignore mosshead's rolling of eyes every damn time, as if he wasn't all over their captain on a daily basis, but alright. whatever. fucking idiot).
and sanji feels, after a long time, that he finally has somewhere to call home and more people to call family. and if they finally let him show his love (the way he truly wants to love someone) he isn't going to hold back anymore.
#i get all inspired when i wake up huh#i love clingy sanuso we should talk about clingy sanuso more#they're all over each other all the time#annoying clingy gays i love them i love them i lo-#sanji is just like me fr#i'm kind of projecting? maybe who knows#my fiancé and i are just like them gonna cry#sanuso#black leg sanji#usopp#one piece

“God, darling, you're pathetic.” She looks at Frankie’s weary body, strung together by chains, their face a tired mess. “I will make you into the person you're meant to be. I mean really? You're stronger than this, Ash.” She looks down at them disgusted.
“You haven’t fed me for a week.” They say, with all the energy they have, “and now this.”
“Don't be dramatic, it wasn't that long,” she laughs. It was that long. She shakes her head, “don’t worry darling, you can eat afterwards.” She turns away slowly.
“No,” they say. “No I literally can’t, I need food right now, I’m starving, I’m going to fucking pass out.”
“You’ll be fine. I’ll try to keep your mind off of it,” she sings.
“You monster.” they snarl.
She clicks her tongue, “I taught you better than that.”
“I learned nothing from you, you were never there.” They snap at her.
“I was building this, you can understand I was a little busy.” She says coldly.
“You were busy? You left your only child, I had to take care of myself, alone, no one was there for me, I didn’t know what it felt like to be loved!” They yell at her, their cheeks flushing. ”Do you know what that did to me? Do you know what that made me?”
“It made you strong, Ash.”
“No,” they shake their head, a cold laugh escaping their lips. “No, it made me weak, I buried everything, I didn’t feel anything for years!”
“Yes,” she smiles, “and now you’ve gone and fucked everything up, you fell in love, Ash, now you have a weakness.”

Tranquil moment
One day, after a tiring battle with the Navy, Zoro and Sanji just... enjoy peace and quiet.
The cook was standing in the kitchen, with no idea what he wanted to cook, and aching from kicking too many cannonballs. Sanji heard the sound of a door being slammed open, grumbles, and footsteps. Heavy footsteps, accompanied by the clinking of swords. Three, to be exact. He heard the polished wood floors creak, he heard the sound of chair legs being dragged against said floor. The chair was set down. The sound of someone sitting down, and a sigh emerging from a tired soul as he relaxed. There was a lot to learn from sounds, noted Sanji at an early age. All five senses could be utilized to tell a story about what food they would enjoy best. So, he'd purposefully listen and notice the crew's body language to create specialized dishes for them. Now, the sounds of people were calming to him and were a good reminder of his time at Baratie. And finally, he settled down on what to make for dinner that day. After preparing a lot of meat, he cooked. He could hear the shuffling movements of Zoro's feet, he could hear the birds chirping... it was strange for them to be so... quiet. "It's nice to not argue for once, Curly, isn't it?" "Yeah." The sight of simmering stew and the delicious smell of spices wafted across the kitchen. Sanji began to enjoy himself, basking in the stupid moss head's presence. The sounds of people were welcome, just natural sounds and movements really did make Sanji feel better. And then... snores. The musclehead had fallen asleep, huh? Sanji yawned. He'd just rest his eyes for a bit while the last piece of meat cooked; all the other dishes were done anyways. Later, Nami came into the kitchen and found the table piled with dishes, the smell of burning meat and Zoro and Sanji asleep. Sanji was sitting down but leaning and laying on the table, head in his right arm, while Zoro was sitting up with a blanket draped around him. Their arms seemed to have somehow made it to each other, and they were both touching. Nami quickly snapped a photo before calling everyone else to see. Franky shed a tear, Usopp had to hold Luffy back (he wanted the food) to not ruin the moment, Chopper was more concerned about the burning meat and if it could be consumed (Luffy would eat it), Brook went to go write a love song, and Robin just had a knowing smile.
Later, Zoro was blackmailed by Nami and later Sanji and Zoro both denied it ever happening.

Pedro and co helping you through a autism/ adhd burn out 🩷🫶🏻
Lil side note,burn outs can last months and show’s differently on every auhd/ptsd person. (Burn out is very common in the autistic community,I myself have spent most of my adult life in burn out,every person’s experience is different,but I’m speaking in my experience and things that helped me through it,if you are going through burn out right now,my dms are ALWAYS OPEN) even if you just want to ask a “silly” (no question is silly) about dealing with auhd or just MH in general. Also THANKYOU FOR THE LOVE ON THE LAST POST,it means SO MUCH 😭
Pedro himself 💜🕺
This man often suffers from burn out himself and knows exactly what to do,he will run you a relaxing bath with loads of bath salts and offers to stay with you while you soak,then he will put a frozen pizza in the oven and put on your favourite comfort movie,if you fall asleep while watching it he will carry you to bed and join you there just the sounds of your soft breathing will send him asleep,he’s struggled with sleep in the past but now you’re here,he loves it. Just sleeping with you is the best thing,he could do it forever if the world let him. (Side note to this one,as much as I love Pedro with my whole heart I feel a little uncomfortable writing about him as a person and not his characters,what happened in Malta recently kinda shook me. Pedro deserves all the love and respect in the world <3)
Frankie morales 🚁🐟

You give him a small kiss on his jawline,” you need to eat something sugar” he whispers into your hair,” I know I don’t feel like eating right now”
“Not even mine and Sarah’s special pancakes?” he laughs softly,”I already feel like shit I don’t need food poisoning” you tease. “Hey we’ve only accidentally poisoned you once” he laughs softly and tickles your neck with his stubble slightly. You sigh softly “I love you so much Joel,the both of you”
“We love you too sweetheart,Sarah loves you as her own mum and you know how much I love you” he lightly kisses your shoulder blade and you hum softly “let’s get you to bed darlin” let’s just say both you and Joel didn’t get any sleep that night,Joel too busy worshipping every inch of your body and soul.

You can’t do anything but looked shocked, he kisses you deeply and you give into the kiss,his grunts and your moans spurring each other on “let me make love to you cariño” he whispers.
He makes love to you all night long,with promises to protect you all his life.

Marcus calls you from work (like he always does) to find that your voice is small and tired at the end of the line “what’s the matter sweetheart,I can tell something is the matter” he says softly, “I just…can’t handle it anymore” you say while trying not to cry “can’t handle what baby? “Everything” your voice catching in the back of your throat. “Oh baby girl I’m so sorry…I should be home more often,to look after you,i know your struggling right now,I can see it in your face every morning,I’m so fucking sorry I’m at work right now,Im coming right home” “It’s not your fault” you cry, “I’m your husband,i should be there for you,just hang on tight ok sweetheart I’m coming straight home”
He hangs up the phone but calls you back on his mobile,”im here baby girl,im leaving work now ok?”
“Ok” you sniffle “I love you” you say quietly.
“I love you too,so much,do you need anything from the shops darling? Food, drinks? “
“Just you” you sniffle
Marcus gets home around 15 minutes later and finds you on the couch crying silently
“Oh darling,come here” he sits next to you and immediately wraps his arms around you “it’s ok,I’ve got you baby,I’ve got you” he whispers “shh shh” he strokes your hair softly and plants a kiss to your forehead “what’s got you like this huh,do you know or is it just one of those days”he whispers “I don’t know” you cry. “I understand sweetie,want me to run you a bath?” “Stay with me” you mumble “okay I’ll stay right here” “I’ll be right here” he whispers softly “I love you so much,you’re so strong baby this will pass I promise”
He runs his fingers down your back gently and then lets you hold him close,you fall asleep in his arms that night,but as usual you wake up in bed. You have developed a massive migraine,you look over to your bedside table to see water and some tablets,marcus has already thought this through,you take the tablets and gulp down the water and lie back down in bed snuggling into Marcus. He stirs a bit,”you ok baby” he whispers “have you got a headache,I brought tablets up last night just in case you did this morning” he says sleeply.
“My head is hurting like bitch but I’ve already took the tablets” you say softly into his chest,”thank you sweetheart,thank you for everything you do for me,I love you…so much. You kiss his neck softly,and slowly fall back asleep on his chest,his heartbeat grounding you.

This takes place in espsiode 3
Slowly opening your eyes, raising your arms above your head stretching your muscle, putting your arms down, feeling a strong arm wrapping your hips, pulling you in closer, but Frankie is still sleeping, light snores coming out of him you tuned your body, closer to Frankie. You snuggle up to him, as close where you can feel his breath on you, and you just stare at him, looking at all his features from the almost slipped green du-rag, to his relaxed brows, his long lashes almost touching his cheek, to his beautiful nose, seeing a little peach-fuzz on top his lip, oh his lips they have to be the softest on this god green earth. You raised your arm to his face, slowly graze your thumb across his face, seeing raise and fall of Frankie made you calm, you moved your thumb to his lips, slightly parted, touching his bottom lip, you pull in closer to him, feeling his lips on you was so magical, you peck his lips and continue, Frankie lips push back, biting your lip, you gasp "Oh my god Frankie I thought you were still sleeping." Frankie growls "don't start something, where you don't finish." you giggle "I always finish with you Frankie." He hums "yes you do." "but I have go to the bathroom though." Frankie grins "you could just go right here you know." you roll your eyes "nigga I’m not doing that again and I'm still tired, but I still have go to the bathroom" Frankie grabs your chin "When I get our place I’m gonna make sure you wet the bed every night baby." Frankie kiss you, smooth lips on you, you pull away slowly standing up "I'll be right back." "You better." you kiss him one more time, you put on your shirt and shorts before opening the door, you smell eggs and bacon cooking, passing by the kitchen seeing Jerome cooking the food "good morning y'all." "Good morning, Lexi, aye tell Franklin to come get these eggs." you nod your head continuing to the bathroom, you do your business, you walk back to the bedroom to see Frankie falling back to sleep, you walk over to the bed, slowly touching Frankie stomach, "Frankie you gotta wake up, Jerome made breakfast." he stirs, you leaned down to kiss his lips, feeling Frankie rise up trying to chase your lips, you pull away " see your wake up, come on nigga I'm hungry." Frankie groans putting his feet on the ground, grabbing a pair of sweats in his drawer, putting them on, you both walk into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.
"Good morning y'all" "morning." you start to eat your eggs and bacon "So how was y'all night?" Louie said "It was good we just chilled and eat some snack while we did that." you smiled to yourself, knowing what really happened last night. "Well, that's good I'm glad y'all had fun." Louie smirks at you, you didn't think you were that loud last night "But I got hella thirsty last night and I accidentally slipped some water on the bed." "Damn nephew I didn't think you were clumsy like that." Jerome chuckles "Yeah it was kind of a big one." Frankie chuckles as well, slowly turning his head to look you with a smirk on his face, as you finish your breakfast, everybody puts their dishes in the sink, Jerome and Louie walk back into their room and you start the wash the dishes out of hospitality, you start putting each dish on the drying rack, as you walk over to the pan grabbing it and putting in the sink to wash it, you see Frankie looking at you "What?" "Nothing I'm just imagining us being together in our own place." Frankie walks over to you while you’re still cleaning the pan almost done with it. You feel Frankie strong arms around you pulling you closer to him, you relax in his hold, both of you start to sway back and forth, Frankie kisses your neck, you melt into Frankie arms pushing your ass against him, you hear footsteps coming into the kitchen "Lexi I know it don't take you that long to wash some damn dishes-." Jerome walks in seeing his nephew kissing up on Lexi, you shut off the water turning to see Frankie a couple feet of away from you "awh shit damn nephew and Lexi I didn't see anything." Frankie smirks "It's aight unc, me and Lexi are together." while Frankie looks at you "Oh shit you tryin' to be me and Louie huh." Jerome laughs "yeah something like that, aye I'm gonna page Lee so I can get my money back." you turn the water back on rinsing off all of the suds of the pan, puttin’ it in the drying rack then turning off the water, you wipe off the water on your shirt, you feel Frankie hand interlocking yours his thumb grazing your hand, turning your head to see Frankie is already looking at you, Frankie kiss your cheek "About time I thought y'all will never together." Louie walks into the kitchen smiling at the both of you "yeah we're goin' steady." being your corny-self giggling at your joke, Jerome and Louie smile at your joke, Frankie pulls away smiling at you.
Frankie walks into the hallway to call Lee "Sup Lee how was the party?" Frankie continues to talk Lee to tell him to come by Jerome’s house that he found a guy name Karvel that's going to help him to get his money back. You walked back into the guest room, looking at all of the family pictures, seeing a picture of baby Franklin and Alton, alton wearing a black beret and a black turtleneck and pants smiling at the camera, Frankie walks into the bedroom, seeing Lexi looking at his baby picture, Frankie stands next you also looking at the picture, your heart shivers knowing what happened to Alton that he's homeless and a drunk, you look at Frankie, seeing his chocolate eyes not being able to read them. "Lee is coming by, he should be here in ten minutes." you nod your head "I should probably call my momma and tell her that I'll be home late I'll say I'm gonna go see that new spike Lee movie I think it's called she's gotta have something?" Frankie laughs at you "You mean she's gotta have it baby." Frankie puts his arm over your shoulder "I ain't gonna be like him, like alton I'll do everything in my power to not end up like him." you hear a knock on the door, it's Lee "Aye franklin openin' up its me." "I'm gonna call my momma, tell Lee to be quiet for me." "Okay baby." you walk over to the house phone to call your momma, you see Frankie opening the door for Lee "My nigga." " Sup man." franklin daps up Lee "aye you gotta keep it down for a minute, Lexi is here and she's about to call her moms." "Oh, shit Lexi I didn't know that your here what's up?" before you call your momma, you hang up the phone and walk over to Lee to hug him, you both do your handshake as you were done you both snap your fingers "I can't believe y'all are still doin' that handshake." "don't hate, appreciate nigga." Lee said, and you join in "yeah nigga." Frankie rolls his eyes, walking towards the guest room to change his clothes, "aye so when did this happen." Lee pointing at you and Franklin "we just started no one knows expect Jerome, Louie, Kev and now you." "Damn Lexi, Kev knew before me and I'm your best friend." Lee almost looking sad, to be the last person to know, you grab Lee shoulders "You are my best friend, Frankie told Kev at the match yesterday, Kev was askin' me where I got my betting money cause he knows I ain't got no job." "it's okay Lexi I ain't mad at you, if you happy then I'm happy, I'm glad that y'all are together." "Thank you lee, and I'll be right back I’m gonna call my momma."
Daling your home phone number, letting it ring a few times, your momma picks up, "Johnson residence." "Hey momma it's me." "Oh, Lexi how are you doin' baby, you ready to come home?" you breathe out your nose "actually me I was thinking that I can go to the movies today the new spike Lee movie is out, shon-shon wants to go see the movie, but I wanna tag along." "Sure, baby if it keeps you away from them boys, then I'm fine with it, but what time are you comin' home?" "Probably after the movie momma, and I'll page you if I need anything I love you momma." "Okay baby, have fun with shon-shon and I love you too." you hang up the phone, walking towards the living room to see Frankie and Lee sitting on the coach waiting patiently. Lee is a wearing a tan 2-piece with a grey undershirt and a pair of white chucks, and Frankie was wearing a grey and black baseball shirt with some dark blue jeans and some black adidas, they both stood up “I’m able to still to stay out I told my momma that I’m seeing the new spike Lee movie with shon-shon.” Lee eyes widened “Lexi you comin’ with us?” you nod your head “I am and it’s better to have four instead of three, you know.” “You think you are ready for the game?” Lee asks “don’t try to talk her out if it Lee I’ve already tried.” licking your lips “that’s right Frankie I’ve already made up my mind.”
You all walk up to Karvel’s place, seeing trash everywhere and and stuff in trees, Lee walks in first through the back gate then Frankie, making sure you stand behind Frankie "The fuck y'all niggas want." "We look for someone that can help us get Lenny and ray-ray man.” Lee spoke “Aye I know them niggas Lenny live off on MLK and Havery I can help y’all out.” a man stood up, wearing a red shirt and jeans and tennis shoes, “The name’s is Karvel, nice to meet y’all, sup little mama.” Karvel smirks down at you, like a grimace smile, Frankie stands in front of you, blocking Karvel from looking at you, kavel laughs lightly punching Frankie “Damn nigga I’m just playin’ y’all niggas can roll with me.” Karvel walks back to grab his keys, walking to his car, you all follow him, Karvel unlocks the car to get in, Frankie opens the door for you, kindly smiling at you, reaching out to touch his shoulder “Thank you baby.’’ “Of course baby.” sliding through the other seat, you put your seatbelt on, Frankie gets in shutting the door, Frankie lays his hand on your thigh, Karvel drives off to Lenny’s house.
Finally stopping in front of Lenny’s house, Karvel shuts off the engine, looking at the house “Lenny lives in there, and ray-ray lives a few blocks from here.” Karvel said “How you know Lenny got the cash?” Frankie said “Oh trust me, Lenny got yo shit man, ray-ray is a bitch.” Karvel said, you look at Frankie, your heart is pounding at your chest, Frankie looked at Lee and nods his head, you all proceed to get out the car, walking up to Lenny’s house “Aye what’s the plan?” Karvel grabs his gun from his waist, cocking it, Lee smiles “Aight.” Frankie grabs your hand to squeeze it, walking up the steps, he moves pass Karvel to bang his fist on the door, Karvel pushes Frankie up against the wall “The fuck is you doin’.” Lee yells out, Karvel pushes Lee the ground, Karvel turns to you, grabbing you by the hair, pushing you up against the door, holding the gun to your head “Aye Lenny openin’ up I got your little bitch out here.” Lenny opens up “Aye man what bitch you talkin’ about?” Karvel pushes you the floor, falling on your knees, Karvel barges in the door, making Lenny stumbled on the ground, Lee and Frankie runs in, Frankie grabbing your hand, pulling you in the house, you stand up closing the door behind you, Karvel pointing his gun in Lenny’s face “Grab the exentison cord homie.” Karvel told lee, flipping over Lenny on his stomach wrapping it around his hands “Tie his ass up.” Lenny spits out “fuckin’ bitches man.” Lenny trying to fight off Lee strength “stop fuckin’ movin’ man.” Karvel grinning “Yeah just like that homie.” Lee tie a knot, securing Lenny from escaping, Lenny chuckles looking up at Frankie “This little nigga again huh, you back for more you thought we fuck you up last time, just wait huh.” Lee and Karvel make Lenny sit up against the wall, Frankie walks into the kitchen to grab a chair, you walk in closer to have Lenny smirking at you “Huh Karvel this is the little bitch you talkin’ about huh.” you walk in closer “Where’s the money Lenny?” Lenny laugh “Bitch you think I’m tellin’ you fuck out of here.” “Fuck you nigga.” you spew out, rolling your eyes, Frankie walks up to you “Let’s look around and try to find my money.”
Karvel walks into the kitchen, looking in the pantry to find a box of apple jacks, Karvel walks back in the living room, taking a seat eating the cereal, Frankie nods his head to start looking for the money, you walk to the couches, moving them out the way, Frankie walks into hallway to the backroom, Lee looks in the kitchen to find the money, everywhere y’all look everywhere and you can’t find it, all three of you ransack the house, books on the floor, bedspread ripped off, Frankie looks in the cabinets in the living room, Lee knocking stuff down, you were looking in dresser, nothing fuck, you walk in the living walking to the tv looking behind it, “Look you, fuckin’ jheri curl lookin’ motherfucker, and aye you too bitch lookin’ like good time motherfuckers.” Frankie walks towards Lenny, glaring at Lenny “Where’s my money man.” “Up your momma’s pussy.” Karvel laughs “Aye franklin I can’t find nothin’.” Lee spoke, Frankie looks at you, shaking your head no “Cause dumbass I don’t keep no fuckin’ money here. ever.” you grab a vhs player, throwing it on the ground, Lee pushes the speaker to the floor “Aww fuck this shit man, aye you some Frankenstein motherfucker, and stop eatin’ my shit.” “Aye what’cha you say to me homie.” “You heard me you ugly motherfucka.” Karvel walks closer to Lenny “Nah actually I didn’t hear you all the way back let me come closer.” Lenny and Karvel arguing back and forth, Karvel puts a sock in Lenny’s mouth and taping it over, Lenny is still talking shit, Karvel walks back to grab a bat, swinging it around smashing the fine China glasses, smashing the table “Aye how much we talkin’.’ “Just couple grand.” knocking hits the door “Aye Lenny that new Stars Wars movie is comin’ out come on let’s roll.” you drop the ground, someone was still knocking the door, Karvel covers Lenny mouth to silence him, “aye man you in there, come the show is about to start… fine miss it I’m out.”
Frankie slowly walks up to the window to see Ray-Ray leaving “Fuck this where’s the money at homie huh.” Karvel said, you rise up from the floor, Karvel takes the bat about to swing on Lenny, Frankie stops him, “Let me holla at him for a second.” “No talk time is over just bust his ass.” Frankie looks at Lee “He can’t tell us a damn thing if he died.” Frankie looks at you, Karvel looking at you and Frankie “God damn man, you soft as baby shit bro.” Frankie looks down, almost looking defeated, Karvel laughs pushing the bat up against Lenny’s head “Aye you hear that you got some soft-served ice cream niggas ass with you bro, some cupcake lookin’ ass niggas, aye you don’t like me eating your food huh I can give something else you will like huh.” Karvel starts humming, backing up humming to a tune of some song, walking back into Lenny’s room "You see that man, you next, now tell me where's my fuckin' money." Frankie walks in front of lenny to take off the tape on lenny’s face you walk in closer "Lenny we can save you the trouble, from getting really hurt." "Fuck you bitch, and fuck all of you, you know what." Lee punches Lenny in the face, with so much force causing blood to slip out of his mouth, Lenny leans forward to spit in Frankie face, he stares down at lenny huffing out a breath out his nose, lifting a hand to wipe off the blood, he walks over to you, putting a hand on your shoulder “you need to leave. Now.” You roll your eyes “ugh Frankie I’m not leaving you that’s out of the question.” Karvel walks into the room “Aye you know what, fuck this shit homie.” Karvel walks into the kitchen, walking back with a knife “The fuck is this Karvel.” You spoke out. Karvel slices the cords around Lenny body and around his neck, Karvel drags Lenny into the guest room, slamming the door shaking the room.
Your sitting on the coach, covering your ears trying to drown out the yells and grunts coming the back room, Frankie sits next to you, leaning over to you, slightly uncovering your ear “baby you need to leave.Please.” you nod your head slowly raising up, waving bye at Lee, walking over to the door, Frankie opens the door for you, you walk outside down the stairs to the sidewalk, felling the sun on your face, you hear frankie closing the door behind him and walking towards you “I’m sorry baby.” Frankie puts his arms around you and holding you still “It’s okay Frankie you did know that was going to happen.” “if you wanna go home that’s fine I can page Louie and she can pick you up.” you nod your head “Aye Franklin!” you both turn around to see Karvel walking out of the house, wearing a awful smile, holding a lot of money and stuffing it in his pockets, karvel looks up and down at you “Aye Karvel that’s money.” Frankie standing still in front of you, Karvel chuckles “You’s a bitch man.” Karvel walks to his car and proceeds to drive off, lee walks out to you “Aye Lexi, you good?” you nod “Yeah I’m good, what about you?” “Yeah yeah, you franklin.” “Yeah lee, fuck and now we gotta get my money back now from Karvel.” you put your hand on frankie neck “come on let’s go back to Jerome’s and come up on a plan.” Frankie and Lee nod their head and start walking back to Jerome and Louie’s place.

Broken Promises
You’ve never been this tired before. It’s a strange feeling like you are experiencing a sort of out-of-body experience, looking straight at your bone-tired self barely holding on. “My kingdom for a full night of sleep,” you think, before scanning the room. A rumpled bed, a mix of dirty and clean laundry scattered over the floor, and a half-eaten pack of Oreo cookies on the nightstand “Not much of a kingdom” you sardonically judge. As the minutes tick by, exhaustion takes further hold of you and your eyes begin to shut. You start to nod off, but just as your chin touches the top of your collarbone a small fist slams onto your left cheek, and a loud cry pierces the silence of your bedroom.
"Shhh, Ella, shhh, sweetheart, please be good for Mommy," you softly plead. Weary from the ongoing battle to lull your baby girl back to sleep, you slowly rise from the rocking chair nestled in the quiet corner of your dimly lit bedroom. It's been a relentless night since the clock struck 1:30 a.m., and Estrella seems to have taken it upon herself to ensure you stay awake for as long as possible.
You had hoped that the rhythmic motion of the chair, the gentle sway, and comforting whispers, would coax her back into the land of dreams. Yet the soft lullabies and soothing strokes proved insufficient in settling your little girl. The minutes ticked by, and the hand of the clock slowly etches its way into the night.
You slowly stroll around the room, swaying back and forth while cradling the warm bundle in your arms. As you gaze down at the tiny face nestled against your chest, you tiredly ponder, "Perhaps I should start calling you peanut, don't you think, Ella?" Your fingertips delicately trace the contours of her tiny, discontented face. The sight of her scrunched-up, red face reminds you of those spicy peanuts that Frankie enjoys munching on.
Frankie. It has been an agonizing seven days since you last heard from your husband. When he informed you about his departure on one of Santiago's reckless ideas (damn it all Santi), you pleaded with him not to go. You had tried everything, even resorting to playing dirty by reminding him of his promise to never leave again! And how it would surely negatively impact Ella considering her formative age. You emphasized how important it was for Ella to have her papa with her. How much you needed your husband. You had kept going until the morning, and your voice had faded to a hoarse whisper, but Frankie did not budge.
Instead, Frankie had held you close. Listening to you argue and rage while whispering reassuring words about how everything would be just fine. And as the argument heated up, he switched up his strategy. Instead, sternly stretching how thin money was right now. Like an artist, using his words as brushstrokes, he painted a clear picture of the challenges you were both facing, reminding you of the growing financial strain. Ella, remaining in the background of the conversation, both acutely aware of your responsibility as new parents. He’d coaxed, cajoled, and did his best to persuade you that his leaving was the right course of action. He stressed that, although Pope needed him for this mission, the money he would make would provide the opportunity for you to finally take time away from work to be with Ella. When he saw you start to relent at his words, he doubled down and further pressed how, upon his return, there would be enough funds for him to both appeal his drug sanction and for you to stay home with the baby.
Frankie knew exactly what he was doing. With the precision of a former military man well-versed in analyzing and exploiting the vulnerabilities of his enemies, he exerted pressure in the very areas he knew would make you yield. Nobody understood you better than Frankie, after all. He knew that the prospect of staying home with Ella would be sufficiently alluring. You had returned to work a mere two weeks after giving birth and with Frankie grounded from flying, you hadn’t been able to take any additional time off. At the time, you had bitterly thought that if Frankie had opened to you instead of falling heads first into a puddle of cocaine, he would have never been suspended in the first place. You could have stayed home with Ella, and you wouldn't be so exhausted. You wouldn’t be so sad all the time.
Estrella's piercing cries escalate, reverberating in the air, and echoing through the room. With every decibel, her frustration intensifies, mirroring your own mounting agitation. You struggle to steady your breath, attempting to reclaim a sense of calm amidst her loud wails.
"Please, please, Ella," you implore, your voice quivering with weariness and desperation. "Mommy needs to sleep tonight. Mommy has a long day at work tomorrow."
Estrella's cries momentarily ebb, her searching gaze locking onto your face, her innocent eyes reflecting what you think is a flicker of comprehension. But before a heartbeat passes, her tiny face contorts once more, the weight of her frustration crashing upon your ears like a tidal wave, each cry more piercing than the last. Desperately, you put Ella back in her crib at the foot of your bed and you quickly flee the room, the weight of your emotions propelling you forward. As the door shuts behind you, you let out your own loud sob. You are so tired of always crying.
As you attempt to regain control of your breathing and try to halt the now-intensified flow of tears, a wave of nausea overtakes you. You only just manage to hastily make your way to the nearest bathroom. Sinking to your knees, your grip on your own hair tightens as waves after wave of nausea engulf you. Dry heaves wrack your body, futilely attempting to expel remnants of a dinner that never met your lips the night before. The searing pain of acidic bile creeping up your throat only serves to intensify your desire to blink yourself out of existence, if only for a fleeting moment, escaping the overwhelming cries and suffocating anxiety. As soon as the thought arrives, however, the tears start to swell even further. What kind of mother are you, you silently question, your self-doubt echoing in the quiet corners of your soul. What kind of mother entertains the notion of vanishing from their own child's life? A wretched one, you conclude.
You rise slowly, mustering the strength to rinse your mouth, eager to rid yourself of the repulsive taste of bile. Spitting out a blob of toothpaste into the sink, you catch a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror and recoil from the sight of that hollow husk staring back at you. “What the fuck," you whisper to yourself as disbelief floods your thoughts. You hadn’t found the time to look yourself over in the last few weeks, too busy with the baby, work, and Frankie’s license appeal. You kind of wish you hadn’t looked yourself over right now. You look like a ghost, an exhausted ghost at that—gaunt and fatigued, your skin stretched thin and devoid of life, bearing an ashen hue. Dark circles encircle your eyes, stained with redness from endless weeping. Your hair hangs greasy and limp, the last time you washed your hair was likely before Frankie left, you speculate.
Your mind drifts back to that night, two years ago when Frankie returned home for good (or was supposed to return for good). The unfolding reality had completely shattered the idyllic story you had woven into your mind that night. Frankie tried; goodness knows he tried his hardest. But even within the comfort of your shared home, he couldn't elude the relentless demons that haunted him at every turn. It pained you to witness his withdrawal, but he insisted, left and right, that he was fine—that it was normal for discharged soldiers to struggle with readjustment. He assured you he wasn't the first, nor would he be the last, and that all he needed was a little time for everything to work itself out. "You worry too much, mi cielo," he would say before leaving the house each morning, following yet another night plagued by nightmares.
The whole facade of “getting better” quickly lost its lustre when, in an uncharacteristic fit of rage, Frankie had aggressively confronted a young man who had set off firecrackers on your street, nearly beating the poor guy. You had seen the anger and fear contort his normally gentle features, and you were certain that if you hadn't intervened, the situation would have turned violent. Afterward, with tears streaming down both your faces, Frankie held you. With his face tucked in your chest, he had apologized and begged for your forgiveness, promising that it would never happen again. And, in a rare moment of vulnerability, Frankie quietly shared how it sometimes felt like a dark presence consumed him from within—he could be walking down the street, only to be transported back to whatever hellhole his mind had conjured especially for him.
He had gone on about how he couldn’t do any of this without you. In the end, you had forgiven him. But not before making him promise this kind of violence would never happen again as you wouldn’t tolerate it. To his credit, Frankie never exhibited any violent behaviour again. Well, at least not in your presence.
After that day, you tried your best to be firmer with him. You had pleaded with him to seek therapy, thinking that the moment he opened to you was an overture. But Frankie mostly shut it down. Always founding excuses to delay by finding new reasons for not making an appointment each and every day. The cycle persisted with you nagging and him delaying until one afternoon when you returned home to find him on the couch, a distant and ashamed look in his eyes. The mere sight of him caused your heart to plummet. It turned out that Frankie had chosen to self-medicate. At that point, you were three months pregnant with Ella, and to this day you wonder if you would not have been better to walk out that sunny afternoon.
You knew Frankie carried immense guilt from that day. You could see in his eyes how much he despised himself for what he had done. He vowed never to touch cocaine again, promising to put in the work and pleading for you to stay. He wept and wept, and in the end, you chose to remain by his side only if he finally committed to therapy. This was the last strike, you told yourself, and had decided not to give up on him. In sickness and in health, right?
But to your joy, throughout your pregnancy, Frankie's support had exceeded all your expectations. He not only tended to your needs but also went above and beyond to ensure your comfort. From keeping your favourite snacks within reach to massaging your tired feet without even needing to be asked. Yet, among all the beautiful moments, one memory stood out as the most cherished. It was when the two of you would settle on the couch, engrossed in a shared TV show. During these tender moments, Frankie would lovingly rest his head on your gently rounded belly, hoping to connect with the little life growing within. Softly, he would speak to your baby, already creating an intimate bond that filled your heart with warmth.
Those blissful months, both during the pregnancy and in the ensuing months, were magical. Despite the challenges, what mattered most was that Frankie was with you, supporting you and sharing in the journey which made every hardship feel insignificant. It was in those moments that you truly felt that Frankie had come home. As if on a rocket launch, Frankie also seemed to have gotten his mind together following his suspension. He had managed to secure a job at a garage, but the hours were minimal, and the pay meagre. But, despite it all Frankie had been determined to persevere and make the most of this opportunity, all the while preparing for his license appeal.
However, everything crumbled a week ago. Like every second Friday, Frankie joined his friends to watch and cheer on one of Benny's fights. But as Frankie arrived home late that night, his expression of guilt etched across his face sent an unsettling shiver down your spine. The following day, Frankie was gone. The only detail you could scrounge from him was that he would contact you three days after the mission concluded. Now, seven days have passed, and anxiety gnaws at your core more violently with each passing day.
After splashing water on your face, you make your way back to your bedroom, where Ella's cries have diminished, leaving behind traces of fatigue on her tiny, reddened face. Bending down, you scoop her up into your arms and begin to hum a gentle lullaby in Spanish. It's the only one from Frankie's repertoire, a sweet melody he had learned from his Abuela during his childhood. As you hold Ella close, her cries gradually subside, replaced by the comforting rhythm of her soft breath against your shoulder. It soothes your heart to witness her drifting back into slumber. So sweet and innocent.
"Oh, my poor little star," you whisper, your voice filled with tenderness as you gaze at Ella. "You miss your daddy, don't you? I miss him too, and I know he misses you just as much." Leaning in, you plant a gentle kiss on her tiny forehead. "I'm so sorry, Ella. It breaks my heart that you're stuck with me. You deserve so much more."
Placing one final kiss on her tiny nose, you carefully lower her back into her crib. As you slowly tread back to your own bed, you feel its emptiness and coldness, a constant reminder of Frankie's absence. Yet, in this moment, you're uncertain if you would even welcome his presence. Slipping beneath the covers, you glance at the clock: 3:30 am. A sigh escapes your lips. Four more hours before you must get up for work. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
______________________________________________________________
You are abruptly awakened by a jarring, high-pitched beep. Unsettled by the noise, your drowsy eyes struggle to focus on the clock, revealing the time: 5:15 am. You hastily spring out of bed, desperately hoping that Estrella won't stir from the ruckus. Clumsily grabbing your phone, you stumble out of the bedroom, nearly hitting your head on the frame.
"What kind of deranged person calls at this hour?!" you vent, frustration mounting as you spy a string of numbers on the screen that holds no significance. "Hello? Hello?" your anger is met with silence. "Seriously, if this is some sick prank, it's not fucking funny! Some of us have babies who are trying to..." Before you can finish, a voice on the other end of the line interjects.
"Mi cielo..."
"... Francisco?" you gasp, barely able to catch your breath.
"It's so good to hear your voice, cariño," Frankie softly replies, his tone strangely subdued.
" Oh my God, Frankie are you okay?! Where are you?"
"Somewhere in Peru," he quietly responds after a pause.
"Peru?! My God are you safe?" you ask, concern lacing your words.
"I am, mi cielo," he replies, but his tone betrayed him. You know he isn’t okay.
"What happened, Frankie? Are the others with you? I was worried sick, you told me three days, it's been 7!" you cry out, your worry pouring through your words.
"I know, mi cielo, I know. I'm so sorry. Shit went from bad to worst. I never wanted to worry you like that. The others are fine, I mean..." Frankie stumbles over his words before weakly admitting, "Redfly is dead."
"What? Tom is dead?!” you interject, shock and confusion mingling in your voice. You had seen Molly just 2 days ago, she was with the girls at the grocery store. Tom’s oldest had even played peekaboo with Ella while you were confiding your worries to Molly. She had assured you that for all his faults, Tom was a devoted CO and would look after your Frankie.
"While we were making our way back through the Andes, we encountered..." Frankie begins to explain.
"What do you mean you encountered? What were you guys doing walking through the Andes?! You said it was going to be a simple in-and-out!" you interrupt, baffled.
After a weighty pause, Frankie reluctantly continues, his voice laced with culpability, "Our transport failed, it was my fault. There was an accident, and Redfly didn't make it. We carried his body so that Molly and the girls could say their goodbyes."
"Oh, Frankie I am so, so sorry,” you whisper, overcome with a mixture of grief and sympathy.
"I should have listened to you! This entire mission was doomed from the beginning, a disaster waiting to happen. I never should have gone. Maybe if I hadn't, Redfly would still be alive, and I would be home with you and Estrelita," Frankie ranted, his voice quivering with tears.
"Frankie..." you begin, the weight of his words sinking in.
"I'll make it up to you, mi cielo. I'm never leaving again. I never want to leave my girls ever again."
"You said that before..." you quietly whisper. You know it’s unfair after everything he’s been through, but you can’t help yourself. Pain and resentment have made themselves at home deep within your heart, and it’ll take more than a phone call to dislodge them.
"Cariño..."
Wiping away the tears that have started to traitorously stream down your face and with exhaustion seeping into your bones, you keep going, "Estrella is well. She still can't sleep through the night, but Mrs. Hu says she is the loveliest baby she has ever seen. She misses her daddy though." After a brief pause, you add, "We both do."
"I'm so sor..."
"Please, Frankie, I beg you, stop apologizing. Just make sure you come home as soon as you can, alright? We'll figure it out when you're home safe with us," you plead, vulnerable.
"I promise mi amor, I'll be home as soon as possible. I'll be on the first flight today and be home before you know it."
"Good. Please be careful, Frankie."
"Cariño..."
His words are cut off by Estrella's cries from the bedroom. A tightness grips your throat as a lump forms, and you speak with a strained voice, "Can you hear her? It looks like she's ready for her daddy to be home." You tightly press your fist against your mouth, attempting to stifle your sobs.
"I'll be home soon, mi cielo, I promise," Frankie pleads. "Te amo. Te amo. Te amo." He repeats it like a prayer, softly uttered at your altar.
You are unable to speak, your throat too constricted. "Me too," you weakly respond. "I have to go check on Ella. Please be careful."
You end the call and take deep breaths, attempting to steady yourself. The room spins around you, and Estrella's cries echo in the background. As in a trance, you make your back to your bedroom.
"Daddy is coming home, my sweet love," you softly coo, your voice filled with anticipation. Estrella's tired eyes meet your teary gaze, and you can't help but laugh through your tears as Ella sucks on her tiny fist. "My little peanut, Mama will always take care of you. No matter what comes our way, even though you deserve so much more, I promise to be there for you and do my best," you pour out. As Ella drifts back into the realm of dreams, you reach out to the bed and grab Frankie's worn green blanket, hastily tossed aside in your haste. Holding it close, you settle into the rocking chair in the corner, with Ella snuggled against your chest, softly snoring. You drape the scratchy duvet over both of you, the feeling of the coarse blanket bringing some comfort amidst the whirlwind of emotions. Enveloped in its warm embrace, you surrender to drowsiness, cradling Ella in your arms and gently whispering sweet nothings into her ear as you drift off to sleep.
______________________________________________________________
Frankie's gaze remains fixed on his phone, staring at the now empty screen as if willing for your phone number to appear. He yearns to hear your voice again, to hear you reassure him that everything will be okay. He longs for the warmth of your embrace, your fingers gently caressing his hair while he tenderly kisses the back of your neck. The more he stares at the phone, the more a sense of desperation and self-hatred wells up inside him. It's not directed at you, never at you. You and Ella are the only sources of goodness in his life, and he feels he's managed to ruin it all, just like he always does. He has always strived to be a better man for you, always felt unworthy of your love.
He is a man hunted by years of military service and he is acutely aware of his shattered spirit, his inability to adapt to the mundane civilian life. At the VA, he had witnessed the procession of broken men and women, who sacrificed their very beings for their nation, only to be spit out by a system that didn’t give a shit. If not for you and Ella, he fears he would have joined their ranks.
After retiring from active duty, which feels like a lifetime ago, he lived in a perpetual state of limbo. But you were there, his beacon of sweetness, compassion, and patience. For half a year, he held his breath, anticipating the day you would wake up and realize the mistake you made when you said yes and married him. You would finally leave him then and Frankie would be alone, as he deserves. But you never did. You stayed, defied his expectations, and shattered his self-inflicted prophecy. He knows you want him to open his pain to you, to unravel his sadness at your feet, but he is trapped in a prison of his own silence. Unable to be the man you need him to be for both you and Ella.
His subconscious tortures him with these anxieties every other night through relentless nightmares. In some of the worst renditions, he finds himself behind you, following you from a distance unable to touch you. As he tries to catch up, he must crawl through mud, blood, and gore, dragging him down as you seem to float away from him. He screams, but you can’t hear him. When he finally catches up to you, he reaches out his hands and notices their bloodied state, realizing how repulsive he is and how he doesn't deserve to hold you. He always lets his hands drop, watching you walk away with that radiant smile of yours that still brightens his heart, even after all these years. You always call out to him, "Come on, my love, you're falling behind." And he knows he is. But he can't take your hand, can't subject you to his darkness.
His grip on the phone tightens as the tormenting voices in his head grow louder: "She'll leave you now, for sure," "You're unworthy of her," "She'll take Ella and walk away, and you'll deserve it," "Good-for-nothing addict." He hurls the phone across the room, shattering it into pieces. The room feels too small, Frankie feels himself suffocating by the 4 walls, a perfect representation of his dark thoughts closing on him. Quickly, Frankie rises and heads downstairs. In the lobby, his eyes catch sight of the open café bar. He enters and makes a beeline for the imposing counter. Taking a seat on an unsteady stool, he addresses the man behind the counter:
“¿Todavía estás sirviendo alcohol?”
“Sí, lo estoy.¿Qué te puedo servir?” responds the burly bartender.
“Un café y 3 shots de whisky.” Answers Frankie.
“¿Noche difícil?” the bartender asks.
“Vida difícil.” Frankie replies.
“Jajaja, ¿asumo entonces que estás casado?” he queries, as he places the three shots in front of Frankie and begins preparing the coffee.
Frankie swiftly downs the first and then the second shot. Taking a deep breath, he responds:
“Ella y el bebé son lo único que hace que esta maldita vida valga la pena. Y lo arruiné.”
Shaking his head, the bartender goes on, “Dile cómo te sientes, discúlpate y ruega. Si la amas tanto como dices, al menos te escuchará.” Frankie looks away guilty at those words. He knows you and he knows he is being unfair to your love.
“Gracias por el consejo.” Frankie acknowledges.
“De nada, es un placer. Va incluido con el café.”
Frankie lets out a laugh before finishing his last shot, while the bartender attends to the bustling morning crowd. There is no sign of Will or Benny, not even Pope who lives in these kinds of places.
From the corner of his eye, he notices a slick, well-dressed man settling onto the stool beside him, promptly ordering a large black coffee. The man's gaze falls upon the three empty shot glasses before emitting a sly chuckle, locking eyes with Frankie.
"Rough night?" the man inquires, his voice laced with a sleazy undertone.
"You could say that" Frankie responds, attempting to shield himself by burying his face in his cup of coffee. He'd rather not air his problems for all of Peru to see. The lingering buzz from the shots slowly warms him from within. God, he's so exhausted. Sleeping on the cold ground of the Andes for the past week has taken its toll. He isn’t as young as he used to be, age crept up on him. Now, all he craves is to be back home, wrapped in your loving embrace with Ella between you two. Damn it, he even misses that green itchy blanket.
Unfortunately for Frankie, the man seems oblivious to his cues and continues to pry.
"Well, my friend, I think I have just the thing for you," the man remarks, reaching into his side pocket and producing a small baggie overflowing with white powder. Frankie's body freezes.
He hasn't touched that shit since the day he got busted. He promised you he would never use it again, and he has kept that promise. The only one he has kept so far. A cold droplet of sweat glides down his spine as he becomes entranced by the sight of the little baggie, its contents tempting him with the promise of quieting the voices in his head, numbing the guilt he carries for you, for Ella, for Tom, and for all the other fucked-up things he has done.
"So, you interested? You look like you need it. I'll even give you a discount, my man!" The man slaps Frankie on the back while jiggling the baggie as if to intensify the allure.
"Take it," his conscience whispers, taunting him. "You've already screwed up; what's one more mistake for the road? She won't even find out, and you know what they say, ignorance is bliss.”
Frankie shuts his eyes, and in the darkness, he envisions you—holding Ella in your arms with that disappointed frown of yours. But the moment his mind conjures your image, it fades away, replaced by the haunting sight of Tom's lifeless body sprawled on the ground. A bullet in his head.
The conflicting scenes play out in his mind, like a relentless tug-of-war between his love for you and his hatred of himself.
“Final chance, my man. If you're not interested, I'll find someone else," the well-dressed man leers, his voice oozing with sleaze. The allure hangs in the air, teasing Frankie. Should he yield to one more mistake?
Frankie's trembling hand reaches out, fingers quivering as they inch closer to the small bag before him. At that moment, a surge of regret and guilt floods his senses, clawing at his conscience like relentless demons. His heart aches with the weight of his past mistakes, the pain he has caused, and the promises he has broken. The promise he will break.
Frankie clenches his fists as he seizes the bag, his fingers tightly closing around it. Doubt swirls in him as he wrestles with the bitter truth—he wasn’t a good man and he sure as hell wasn’t worthy of redemption. What difference would one more mistake make?
So, Frankie surrenders. He abandons the fight and lets himself fall. As he pays for the chemical release that will soon free him from himself, he feels your arms holding him tightly and your mouth planting gentle kisses on his face, providing the comfort he so desperately craves. But reality sets in; you're not there to catch him. So, he makes his way to the nearest bathroom, and three words echo incessantly in his mind, like a broken record: “Ignorance is bliss”.
He fucking hopes that it’s true.

You open your eyes, you’re still in the booth, lights are dimmed and it's quiet around you. The buzzing of the light board is the loudest thing beside your heart pounding. On the desk above you, there's food with a sticky note on it.
“You fell asleep.”
In the deep corner of the darkened room, you squint to see who it is, and there sits Frankie on the floor opposite from you.
“You whimper in your sleep, d’you know that?”
You stand up, “Oh my god, what time is it? We're supposed to go back at 5, what time is it Frankie?” You panicked.
“R’lax, you’re okay, don’t worry. S’midnight.¨
“What the hell? Why didn’t anyone wake me up? Laylah must’ve come up here.” You pace packing up your things.
“Sit down and stop stressin yourself out.” You sit. “Look, your friend Laylah told us about the call with your mom.”
You cringe, you wish that didn’t stress you out so much, when you cried a lot your body's way of relief was sleeping.
“And I bet you’re still tired from our night together?”
You glare at him, of course you were.
“Honestly, I didn’t think you were ever going to bring it up again.” You shrug, sitting in a nearby chair. You were scared he was upset with you and had already had enough of you.
“Fuck, you thought I wasn’t gonna bring it up again? Of course I was, I just had to find the right time.” He smirks. That calms your heart.
“But uh, Laylah told us what was going on when someone came to wake you up, but why bother. Why wake you up when there was so much other stuff to do, and we saw that your script was completely written through.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to nod off I was just on the floor and my music was playing so loud and I was trying to-
“Don’t apologize sweetheart, c’mere. Sit in my lap.”
You hesitate but you don’t waste another second being away from him.
“You’re okay with this at school, you’re sure no one is here right now?” You sit down in his lap, his legs outside of yours and your back against his torso, your head falling under his chin.
“Trust me I watched everyone leave, I wanted to stay here with you, I wanted you to wake up with someone here. I told Laylah to leave with that boy, I needed time with you.”
He needed time with you.
You close your eyes and hum to his words, you’re already in a bliss heaven that you could never escape. The ambiance of the room and his body heat, along with his broad arms could lull you back to sleep in an instant.
“What's goin on in that head’f yours? You can tell me as much as you want, pretty girl ,” He whispers, playing with your hair. “What was that phone call?”
“It was just my mom, we don’t have much to say these days. I think the last time I saw her was my high school graduation, but my childhood was hell. Sorry I don’t want to dump it all in one.”
“No go ahead, let’s just say you remind me of someone, and I feel like I know how to help. Be as open of a book as you want.”
“I don’t know, the usual, growing up with shitty parents and not being allowed to express how I felt as a younger kid. I found solace in other things and my coping skills weren’t the best but I’m alive and breathing today.” You chuckle.
“I don’t know, I have the worst anxiety known to man and I want to be an actor? Be even more of a person pleaser than I already am? I can barely order for myself but I can find the courage burrowed in my body to perform in front of thousands of people. Explain that to me. Explain to me how the fuck I’m even still alive. Explain to me how do you just keep fucking caring about the same creative topic. How do you deal with all these assholes that treat people like they belong in the second level of hell? Frankie fucking howdoyoueven-”
“Ok calm,” He wraps his arms around you, hands touching your heart. “Slow down, take a breath.”
He takes one hand and puts your chin in his grasp, pulling your lips into his, “Everything will be okay, I will help you figure everything out. What is one thing you can smell?”
“I can smell grape leaves.” You look at the take out box, “ By the way who got me that food?”
“I did, I figured you liked Mediterranean. I didn’t want you waking up starvin.” He traces the features on your face. “What are two things you can see?”
“I can see electronic boards and someone that’s really fucking attractive.”
He shrugs, “Okay, what are three things you can hear?”
“My heartbeat, yours, and the monitor systems of the light and sound board.”
“And five things you can touch?”
This is your chance.
“I can touch… your lips,” You kiss him, “Your hair,” Your sprawl your fingers through his thick locks of hair, his gray turned you on, “I can hold your hands… kiss this perfect fucking nose… and I can touch your perfect body.”
You let your fingers roam around his body behind you. He’s wearing a thicker flannel since it’s starting to get colder in the city, but his clothes just fit him so well. His hair in your fingers feels like silk, and his lips feel like the sun against yours. You would do anything to have his words.
“Feel better?” He asks.
“You make the waves in my head calm Frankie, I couldn’t ask for more.”
You close and find a focal point of his musky scent against the food. His hands holding you so closely to his body, this has yet to be the most intimate thing you both have experienced together.
His hands find a place at your neck and start to massage, in slow sensual circles, washing the anxiety pit away.
“Look at me sweetheart.”
You search his eyes for answers.
“You’re so beautiful, y’know that right?” He pauses, “I know this is an odd place to do this, but can I do more to you right now? Can I y’know, make you-
“Frankie…is this where I think this is going?” You giggle.
“No hun, I want you to listen, it’s late and I know we’ve both got stuff to do in the morning but I want you to say yes only because you want to, we can always pick this up another time sweet girl. You won’t hurt my feelins.” He kisses your temple.
“Frankie, I could never turn you down. No matter what state of mind I’m in.” You place your hands on top of his, relocating them on top of your tits, letting him know that you’re comfortable with whatever he does.
He slowly starts to pinch your nipples through your shirt and you can’t help but moan.
“Keep makin those noises and you won’t get to your classes tomorrow.” His voice drops into a thick baritone.
You want to tease him, you want to push his limits and see how far he’ll go with you.
“Yeah, what are you gonna do about it old man?”
A flash of fire sparks in his eyes, this was his ignition. He knew what you were doing.
“Get up and lock that fucking door, turn off the lights to the room.” He commands.
You shrug up off him and do as you’re told. Hearing the click of the door, and proceeding to find the switch of the room. Your body felt light for what was about to happen.
The room goes pitch black.
“Before you come back, take off your clothes.” His thick accent reaps of sex.
You do as you're told, glad that it's in the dark. You proceed to get on the floor and crawl back to him in the corner of the little room waiting for your next clue to his game.
Once you reached him, his fluffy flannel was laid out between his legs.
You get back in your original position, his hot naked torso against yours was enough of a shock to turn off your brat brain.
“You’re lucky this room is soundproof. Spread your legs and don’t close them. If you do, I'll stop and I’ll be taking you home to your suite.”
You could see his smirk in the back of your brain, he would torture you all night of an orgasm if he could. “Put your hands up behind my neck.”
You clasp your hands up behind his neck bringing you closer to him Your back up against his soft tummy makes you squirm against his jeans, feeling his growth harden against your ass. You spread your legs feeling leakage come out of your pussy.
“Jesus fucking christ, music to my ears.”
He brings his fingers to your entrance and he hisses, his flannel beneath you is already wet.
“Pussy can’t control herself can she? That’s alright sweet girl I’ll take care of it.” He purrs in your ear.
Your back arches against his body, keeping your hands restrained for him is the most you can do right now.
He brings his thick fingers back to your wet cunt, playing with your entrance and reaching your needy nub. “What do you need from me?”
“Wha- Frankie please- fuck, just rub, move please-
“Rub what?” He knows what you want, he needs to hear it from you verbally.
“Asshole,you know what- shit- just fuck me with- fuck- ngh- Frankie faster.” You can't get the words out of your mouth.
With your request he uses one hand to rub your clit, and the other he slips 3 fingers into your cunt.
“So good Frankie- soso good. Go deeper and ngh- fuck fuck I can’t… curl your fingers.” You moan across the sex filled room.
He does what you say and immediately your toes curl. He repeatedly hits your G-Spot over and over again.
“Tha’s it huh gorgeous? That little slick spot inside you? Gonna send you over the edge if I keep goin?”
You plead him to not stop, praying this bubbly feeling would stay with you forever. Your walls starting to tighter over his fingers that fit inside your so perfectly, doing what they were made for, just fuck you silly.
And he drops his hands, right as you’re about to peak.
“Frankie- what the fuck.” You yelp, your legs shaking from a pre-orgasm shock. You drop your hands from his neck to cup your sex.
“Tha’s for teasin me earlier with that boy on stage. It’ s’not gonna happen again, yeah?” He rubs your inner legs with your slick all over his hand.
“No Frankie- no I promise it won’t I promise, I’ll be so so good for you.” You’d do anything to be full of him again, “I’ll never tease you with him again. Please touch me again.” You feel like you’re praying to god to be full of Frankie again.
“You think good girl’s get to cum?” He questions, his hands raising higher to your entrance. “Are y’gonna behave?” He drawls out.
“Fuuuck- I’m a good girl- please Frankie- ngh- I won’t do it again- please let me cum.” You beg.
“My good girl.” He growls, “Only mine.”
And his hands attack your pussy at double speed, ruthlessly peeling you from the inside out.
Left furiously rubbing your clit back and forth, and right curving into your pussy, never missing your spongy inside.
You’re so wet, the only noises heard in the room were your pussy fighting with Frankies hand, your screams, and Frankies groans. This could be a porno and you’d listen to every second of it.
The sweat of your back accumulates on his stomach, and you can feel it drip down between you both, practically coaxing you to explode.
“Hollly shit- holyshit shit shit Frankie your hands, this is different fuck.” You swivel your hips on his hands, adding an unbearable element. Your muscles clenching around his hand.
“Keep doin that babygirl, feel so tight wrapped around me.” He growls in your ear. You’re slowly slipping from reality
You hunch over on the floor, his body following and your hands grasp his thighs, the swell of your stomach is unbearable, a sensation you have’t felt in a while. Your face contorts is the most erotic way, your mouth opening so wide to let the octaves of bliss flow through your mouth.
His body on your’s feels like a barrier, and the moment you cum he’ll have to hold you down from exploding. “Cunt keeps gettin tighter’n tighter on my fingers princess. You wanna cum?” He fingers you faster, you sex swallowing his fingers deeper.
“Fuck- yes- please- please let me cum.” You wail. “See stars beautiful.” He finishes.
But you can’t let go just yet, this feels different. “Frankie-this is -fuck- feel’s different.” You slur. “ Can’t hold it back- fuckfuckfuck.” A balloon pops inside your stomach and you feel wind howling in your lungs. Immediately you gush all over Frankies jacket, a river exploding out of you, going past Frankies fingers. You can’t help but scream bloody murder from this euphoria in your brain. Your body feels fuzzy.
“Keep it comin sweetheart, use these fucking fingers. Squirt s’much you soak me n’my fucking jacket. Dirty fuckin girl.”
The liquid comes to stop and you convulse under his strong hold, eyes so far into your head you’re gone. Heat from your core keeps you alive. You could stay here forever, so blissful under his touch and safe from the world. A moment to pocket forever, you almost fall asleep.
“Hey, open those eyes sweet girl.” He muffles.
You laugh like a maniac, “Mr. Morales.” You wince, “How the fuck did you do that to me? I can barely do that to myself.”
“I guess I’m your pussy whisperer.” You can’t help your giggle fit again. “I told you I was gonna get you to squirt, but fuck I didn’t know this soon babygirl.”
“You wish,” You huff, “I’ve never squirted like that before,” You shift up against the wall with him again, relaxing your bodies together. You feel the soaked material under you, “Fuck I’m so sorry, you don’t have a shirt to wear home.”
“Ah don’t worry, this closet in here has old show shirts don’t worry.” He assures. “But that was a sight t’see, your pussy s’made for me.”
“Really?” You taunt, moving your ass to cover his clothed dick.
He cups your cunt again, “You could suffocate me by sitting on my face all day with that pussy if that means I could make you squirt uncontrollably.”
Your clit immediately fluttered at his words, “You truly know your way with words Mr. Morales.” His cock noticeably swelled more with your exchanged words.
“Careful, wouldn’ want a round 2 would we?” He flaunts.
“But when will I get a round with you huh? I haven’t even made you come yet.” You pout, truly you wanted to suck him until his eyes crossed, you wanted him to use you, but he hasn’t yet. “I want it all the way down my throat, fuck..” You trail off, the thought in your head immediately makes you wet again.
“Jesus christ, that’s for later, babygirl, I told you at the club, we’ll have our time together.” He purses his lips.
“Well be fucking prepared because sex after this has a different meaning.” You mumble.
He studies you in the dark, “I bet it does sweetheart. Let's get you cleaned up.”
He guides you to stand up, cleaning you with his jacket, it smells of your sex but you’re happy he has something of you to take home. Whatever he does with it, it’s a piece of you for him. You go to turn on the room lights, and in the booth window reflection you have the most beautiful flush to your face.
You hear Frankie shuffle around in the closet to find an old shirt as you observe your face. He comes up behind your naked body, wrapping his arms around you, holding your stomach, bringing his lips to your neck, “You’re beautiful, You weren’t made for anyone, you were made for yourself and this world is grand fuckin lucky t’have you walk it.” He praises.
You felt like you were made for Frankie.
He never fails with his words, he spurs you on. He grabs your clothes from the corner, slipping each item on you slowly, kissing every patch of skin in sight.
“I’ll get the food, and lock the door. You get your stuff so we can leave, I’ll walk you to your suite.”
“Really? Do you want to risk that? I know this was a little different, but Frankie the wrong person sees us and that can ruin everything. Your career, I could be expelled.”
Thinking about the secretiveness of it all has you second guess everything, but this was always gonna happen with Frankie, no matter the circumstances you were always going to have to be conscious. He’s your teacher, he’s your technical director, one slip up and you ruin everything for him. If you get caught you don’t know how he would react.
You don’t know what he wants out of this, you’re obviously not together, and you don’t know if he’ll want to sleep with anyone else, but all you want is him. He consumes you.
“I dont fucking care, I’m walking you safely home.” He argues.
You don't wait for any other answer and grab your things waiting for him behind you. He locks up the booth, following you out of the arts center, locking up the building and leading the way to the suite building.
You lurk behind him, not wanting to risk anything more unusual than a professor walking a student home. Comfortable silence is always safe between you two.
“C’mere next to me I want to hold your hand, s’cold.” He mumbles. You do as you're told and watch your feet move in sync.
You brace a question you’ve been longing to ask, “How old are you Frankie?” You look into his dark chocolate eyes, praying you don’t scare him away.
“M’42.” He clears his throat. “How old are you? I’d guess early twenties?”
“Yeah I’m 22, I missed the deadline or something in Kindergarten.” You shrug. “That doesn’t scare you does it?” Your heart skips a beat.
He looks at you, “I was scared me saying something in the forties would make you run for the hills darlin ', your age doesn’t scare me.”
“Oh Frankie, “age is just a number”, I just don’t want you to feel like you have to do something with me now because you feel bad. I understand if I’m too young for you.” Your voice goes small.
He grabs a hold of you in a bear hug, still walking down the sidewalk, “I don’t care how many times I have to tell you, nothing you can do to push me away. Your age could not possibly matter to me. You’re way more mature than I am now.” He laughs.
“Well old man,” You tug on his hair, pulling him for a kiss, “We have a lot to teach each other then.”
“Don’t taunt me, You don’t know what game you start when you see how old of a man I really am.” He smacks your ass.
“Noted.” You reach the entrance to your building
He breaks hands with you, pulling out his phone. “Can you walk across the street for a second? I want to do something.” He asks conspicuously.
“Frankie, what for it’s like 2am?”
“One second walk on without me,” He nudges his head, “I need to take a picture of something.” You give him a deceiving look. “Hey don’t give me that look, you’ll see what I’m doing I promise.”
You walk across the street, doing as you’re told, lookin at the stores along the strip. Your heart races being without him in the darkness, but you’re still close enough you can hear the snap of his camera.
“Come back now sweetheart, let me walk you up.”
You come back to him and before you grab the door he gives you his phone with a new contact set up.
“What’s this?”
“M’not really good with this but I hope you can guess darlin.”
“You want my number?” You peer into his eyes.
“Give me a way to talk to you when m’not close to you.” He asks.
You type in your number, leaving the contact name up to him. You grab the glass door, letting him follow you. Instead of taking the elevator, you go to the fire stairs, hoping no one would be here at this hour.
You walk all the way to the third floor, hand in hand. At the entrance of the door, leading to the floor hallway he kisses you so deep, the wind knocks out of you.
“We’ll be with each other in less than 12 hours.” He gasps in between the kisses.
“You need to get home,” You smile in his lips.
“Sleep well, pretty girl.” He steps down from you, shaking his head.
You open the door, finding your key to the suite, praying Laylah isn’t up waiting for you.
You get inside, scope that the living area is dark and everyone is tucked away for the night, slipping into your room waiting to see Frankie again.
-----
He steps into his brownstone. The moonlight brightens up the living room. He sprawls himself on his couch. He’s grateful for listening to his friends, he fucking thanks himself for taking his chances with you. He’s scared of fucking things up, but you are his and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

🎉🎁🥳 HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU RACHAEL!!! 🎂🎉🍻
Now let's get to the good stuff!
F, M, K : Max Phillips, Jay Castillo, Maxwell Lord
Would You Rather...Be a part of the Triple Frontier mission OR be an worker in the Bloodsucking Bastards office??
Any HCs for Javi P?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
THANKS!!
.............. WOW THESE ARE FUN.
ok. Starting simple:
I'm going to kiss Maxwell Lord. I'm not going to like it, but I'll do it. The lack of mustache weirds me out and his blonde hair is Not It, but the lips are going to be great, so I can take one for the team especially since I've seen his hand placement while he kisses even when he's just doing it for show so I'm sure it wouldn't be ALL bad.
I'm going to fuck Max P. As a vampire, I wouldn't have to worry about catching anything from him, he wouldn't ever get tired, and I wouldn't have to worry about him getting too attached - I know he hasn't been a vampire for too long, but he seems like he'd get bored easily. I also think he could make me laugh, so that would be nice.
I'm marrying Jay in a goddamn nanosecond. He deserves better than Kat. He deserves to have someone give him a real answer when he asks "why did you marry me". And I am more than willing to offer my body as a practice canvas for him and his tattoos. I would be so devoted to that man it isn't even FUNNY, goofy dance moves and all. I feel like he's someone that's going to talk for HOURS if given the chance... and I want to give him that chance.
I would rather die than go back to work in an office, even with Max as a boss.... so I'd pick the TF mission.
And let me tell you - if I had been on that mission, Tom would not have fucked everything up, because I would have slapped him SILLY when he missed the hard out.
I also would have attempted to tell those absolute DUMBASSES that overloading the helicopter with money was pointless because if we didn't get home to spend it, it would be worth JACK SHIT and it wouldn't matter how much we'd taken from those walls.
I also would have repeatedly called Pope a dumbass for lying to his friends and manipulating them, and I would have reminded Frankie that he can have a backbone and doesn't have to agree to everything everyone else says.
Jovanna - if she'd been around for longer - would have probably been able to talk some sense into them too, but there was entirely too much testosterone in that group, and when Will Miller is the fucking voice of reason and Benny's his backup, you know there is a problem.
I wouldn't have cared if Tom died - leave him at that damn mansion in the rain for all I care ... but we all definitely would have come home with money if I had been in that damn group.
and.... headcanons for Javi P? Hmm.
We very rarely see him near food, but I HC that he loves bagels with cream cheese - a LOT of cream cheese.
Javi sings along to the radio when he's in the car - but only when he's alone.
Javi dressed up at Batman for Halloween for four years straight as a kid, and it was his favorite costume. His mom tried to get him to switch things up ("Don't you want to be Superman? Spiderman?") ... but he repeatedly told her no until he was ready to pick a different costume.

Maddy had gone to scratch - but her hands never quite made it. She was able to stop herself. To calm herself back down. She was trying to find other outlets for her anxiety that didn’t involve hurting herself at all. After all, she had two very big eyes eyes watching her, learning from her, at all times. Grabbing her knees seemed a much better option.
“I don’t know. You know me, my mind just…” Goes off on it’s own tangents, in a completely different way than Bastien’s did. “To tell you the truth, the whole truth I .. I feel like since we’ve had Frankie, we haven’t really had any time to ourselves, except for when she’s asleep and even then, we have to worry about waking her. I’m not complaining about her, I love her so much, more than I ever thought was possible, it’s just - a babysitter so that we could go out and spend a night together, just you and me, would be .. a relief one of these nights.”
And there it was. The big dirty secret. The thought that made her feel like a horrible mother. It had been ten months - ten months of glorious days of watching her little one grow up so goddamn fast. Too fast. She was already crawling. She was babbling little noises. She was eating baby food, and like her dad, had an adoration for the banana flavors. But it was also ten straight months of the three of them, tired, working together, without much outward support. Never even thought about asking Delta or Frank to babysit, the idea was just a solid red X like a game show. Willem and Figaro - amazing with dolls and animals in turn but, a human baby, Maddy wouldn’t put that on them, no matter how much she loved them as friends. It made her feel like the worst goddamn person in the world to want a break from their daughter, even for one night. The absolute worst.
Not to mention there was also times when Jetsam took over - rare but there - and would just … leave with Bastien’s body.
She was definitely awaiting his judgment on that one. And expecting it to be harsh.
Maybe this was just what they needed. To uncork those pent-up thoughts the way that she used to uncork wine bottles. Just let the honesty flow. It had felt both good and horrible to get her thoughts out, to actually make her lips form the words and let someone else actually hear them. Because he just let out a lot too.
“Fuck Declan, and fuck Pierre,” She said, with more confidence than she had said anything since coming into this country. “They didn’t know me - I didn’t even really know me then, Bastien. I was so … lost. Then you helped give me this name, and .. remember when w got our tarot reading? It’s easy to lose your way in the dark, the moon, that’s one of the cards that came up and you told me that you’re an expert. You’ll never let me get lost.” She remembered that night so vividly. In such detail. Like a movie she’d seen a dozen times. “Well you became the stars that brought me home. Not only that but brought me to .. me. So no, they don’t know a thing about me, and they don’t know what they’re talking about. We have the opposite problem, where I just want .. more of you. More swan boats and carriage rides and .. even though we’re already married, thinking about our future and just being together in every sense of the world. I really do love my life with you. I love our dungeon home and walking through the shacks and bringing you dinner at the belltower because you just want to ring the bells all day. I don’t regret a thing. This isn’t temporary.”
Uncork. Not wine. Champagne. Bursting out all at once.
She almost wanted to apologize for going on a rant like that. She knew she could lose him by talking too much. It was known to happen. But also, she didn’t feel like she should apologize for the feelings that she had right then, the ones that she expressed, so she didn’t.
“I think we are okay, Bastien. I’ve just been … sort of needy and really bad at showing it,” She admitted.
Oh gosh, there it was.
He noticed her start to scratch. He got closer and watched her eyes more closely.
"Well, I'm sorry if you think I'd do that, but I thought this was a family adventure. I never pictured anything like you're describing it. I don't even get where you're coming up with that. It's supposed to be for all of us. All of it. That's the whole point. When I came up with my idea for what to do with the money I thought why not make a big family todo out of it? It might.... help. You're never a tag-a-long. You're my wife. That's obnoxious, Maddy. When you're with me, you're with me. It's sort of why I married you. You can't ever be a third wheel sort. That's not how it works. That's what being married is. I'm too full of love for that."
He took her hand and smoothed over the Paris colored ring and shook his head.
Then she said something scary though. She didn't know when things changed. To him that meant she felt it too. She said it so meekly.
He sighed after.
"But they changed."
Okay now he was nervous.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do." He admitted.
Laverne was pushing his back during a rather long pause trying to convince him to admit what he'd been holding inside, to just be honest.
"I get scared too. I get scared your brother's right and Declan's right. Like maybe I was just a Florence Nightingale effect and it's going to wear off because you're meant for bigger things. My ways aren't really the life you want, not now that you're better. Like eventually you're going to see it."
"And I do have to do something. I thought this trip was going to help and I can't even get passed getting checked into the hotel. I just want us to be okay."
