H-h-hey.. senpai⊠I was wondering if you could make more about Mr Crawling! (I LOVEDDD YOUR PREVIOUS FAN FIC ABT HIM) because heâs such a cutie tbh and I love him sm so I was wondering maybe if you could make something about how he would react to the reader spending more time with someone else (coworker preferably!)
Feel free to ignore if you donât want to do this..!
(Can I be đŠ anon?)
the jealous type!
His face scrunches. âNot you⊠smell bad. Someone else.â
â§â á”á” đ â
Ëâź omg my first anon >.< ofc u can be đŠ anon!!!!
warnings. more fluff/comfort hehe, spoilers for end04
Itâs late when you return home. If it was any other day, youâd be scheming around the streets with your crowbar- but life is different now.Â
You have a commitment at home. Your new roommate⊠boyfriend? thing. Itâs almost as routine as having a pet; coming home, giving him a pat on the head, giving him his completely normal legally obtained soup and ending the day snuggled up on the sofa with him at your feet.Â
Sure, heâs the one who came with you all the way from that other world and didnât have any friends here, but does that mean you canât? Itâs not like you could bring Mr. Crawling with you to work, or after work drinks with your coworkers. Normal people can still see him, after all. Heâs just⊠a little hard for other people to notice- you picked up on that when your parents dropped by on an impromptu visit one evening.
When you kick your shoes off when you come in through the front door, you feel guilty. You can tell heâs a bit down- of course, Mr. Crawling still tackled greeted you with his overzealous, unnecessarily over the top hug.Â
âYou return!â he says, every time without fail.Â
âI return,â you reply, petting his head, but something feels off. He doesnât let go immediately, and his usual enthusiasm is muted.
Mr. Crawling pauses, his face stuffed into your neck. You quirk a brow, curiously eyeing him as he takes a big sniff of your skin and clothes. His face scrunches. âNot you⊠smell bad. Someone else.â
Is he the jealous type? Wow, and since when was his sense of smell so good?
âYou can smell my friend?â you blink at him, cringing as you feel a knot in your stomach. You try to explain, âUhm⊠someone else⊠uhhhh⊠my friend.â
âOther friend?â Mr. Crawling frowns, sitting back on his feet, the space between you growing slightly colder.
You pull yourself up from the floor, careful to meet his uncertain gaze. âOther friend,â you confirm.
âFriend⊠same me?â
You sigh, wishing this language was more descriptive. Itâs hard to explain something so complex when neither of you really understands it fully. You tap your fingers nervously against your leg, thinking. âI donât understandâŠâ you sigh, the weight of the misunderstanding settling on you. âTheyâre human.â
Mr. Crawlingâs frown only grows deeper. He shakes his head, and scoots himself closer to you. He wraps his arms around your waist, his hair falling over the both of you as if trying to shield you from everything outside of your house. âFriend like this?âÂ
Resting your head on his shoulder, you let out a content sigh. âNot like this, Crawling.â
âYou one. You me two. Not like three.â His grip tightens around you, pulling you as close as he possibly can, like heâs afraid youâll slip away. âMe like you. Worry⊠not like me. Gone long time⊠Smell someone else.â
You pull back slightly, feeling the pressure of his arms around you. Heâs not just possessive, heâs scared. You stretch your arms out. âLike you. Big like. See? This much!â You hold your hands closer together, parallel to each other. âFriend ok. Little like. Understand?â
You chuckle lightly, but the soft pang in your chest makes you pause. âYou get it now, Crawling?â you mumble. You reach up and scratch his head absently, a familiar gesture that seems to soothe both of you. âUhm⊠when I leave, I go to work. You know work, right?â He nuzzles into your palm, and you just assume he does, for the time being. âWork friend! Not important. You important. You, uh⊠you understand me?â
âMe understand,â he murmurs into your palm, his cool lips tickling the skin. âSmell bad⊠Me only like you. You smell good."
"I know you like me, Crawling. I like you, too."
He lets out a satisfied hum, his body relaxing again, and for a brief moment, you wonder if heâs truly getting itâor if he just likes the idea of being yours as much as you like the idea of him being yours. He pulls your head closer to his chest, and thatâs when you decide you donât really need to build rapport with your coworkers that much, not when you have a cute ghost waiting for you back at home.

hi. i would like to request seungcheol (obviously). all i request is enemies-to-lovers. you may do with this what you wish. i leave it up to you to decide exactly how you will ruin my life đ
tysm for the request my beloved !! he is so enemies to lovers coded i had TEWWW many thoughts (and started three separate wips oops), but here we are. i hope u enjoy this !! can't wait to get the collab fics out of the way so i can torture u further with baseball dk. i picked dodgers hat!cheol just for u. âĄ
â we need to talk
pairing: choi seungcheol x f. reader summary: sometimes the only way to win the game is to not play, but sometimes it's not a game at allâsometimes it's four years of emotional build-up with nowhere left to hide. genre: enemies (kinda) w benefits to lovers; frat/university au; smut, angst?, fluff rating: explicit. minors do not interact with this or any of my work. warnings: frat boys. gendered language and insults. swearing. mentions of drugs & drug use (vernon is literally a drug dealer đ€·đ»ââïž) as well as alcohol. possessive, jealous seungcheol who is extremely down bad and kind of an asshole and would be toxic af irl but is fine in fanfiction probably. this is maybe more "people who used to fuck and started disliking each other along the way bc they can't figure out their feelings" to lovers than enemies. there are very slight, very meaningless mingyu x reader undertones here. jeonghan is a bastard. feelings you think are unrequited but alas! this got softer than i intended oops. smut warnings: seungcheol truly is a man driven to the brink of madness bc of pussy idk what to say. kissing. hair pulling. mentions of masturbation. the dynamics shift in this one a lot, but to be overly cautious i will say dom!cheol and slightly dom!reader undertones that are not implicitly stated or defined. seungcheol uses the term "whore" once, sorry. oral sex (f. receiving). pussy slapping. unprotected sex. if i missed any pls lmk. wordcount: 8k. no i do not know what a drabble is, leave me alone. author's note: title from the song of the same name by waterparks but this was actually brought to you by "i'll never stop" by nsync bc it's their best song and fit the vibes perfectly. anyway, i still do not love writing smut but i am insane over this man so whatever, we persevere. everyone go shower mj in lots of love bc she's the best and deserves it. also everyone say thank u @the-boy-meets-evil for looking over this for me. i did not look at this again after she beta'd it so any mistakes are of my own stupidity. <3
Seungcheol is incensed.
What in the fuck are you thinking, showing up here? Ignoring him, walking by him with nothing more than a brush to the elbow and that sultry, electric gaze? A pair of painted-on jeans and a sheer top?
Who the fuck had invited you?
He looks around the room, gaze heavy under his furrowed brow. Bass thumps in his ears, the music so loud he can feel it in his chest. Still, his feet stay planted on the floor, already sticky with spilled alcohol and god knows what else. He needs to find Vernonâjust needs something to get through this very unexpected (and very unpleasant) surprise, take the edge off.
But he canât see through the sea of people. Theyâre everywhere, occupying every inch of available space in the house, but he just needs a glimpse of that mop of cornflower blue hair. If he could justâ
Instead, he sees a streak of white-blond in his peripheral vision. âSoonyoung!â he calls, grabbing the man by the arm. âHey, have you seen Vernon?â
Soonyoung stares up at him with glassy, bloodshot eyes, his breath already stinking of alcohol as he shrugs and says, âDunno, hyung. Think heâs upstairs.â
Fingers still wrapped around his bicep, Seungcheol heaves a sigh. âGo find Jeonghan. Heâs on babysitting duty and youâre already fucked.â
âIâm fine,â Soonyoung argues, slurred words giving him away immediately.
Seungcheol scoffs. âBro, you can barely stand and you reek of shitty vodka. Go drink some water.â
As he sends Soonyoung away, he can feel eyes boring into him, tension wound tight in the center of his back that refuses to dissipate no matter how many times he rolls his shoulders. He turns slowly, already knowing exactly what heâll find, but knowing does little to stop the hitch of breath as he takes you in.
And he hates it. Fuck, he hates the effect you have on him more than anything.
Hates that heâs still pining after you. Hates that all you have to do is look at him and heâs putty in your hands. Hates that youâre the first person he looks for in a room, the last person on his mind before he falls asleep. Hates you, hates that all of this is unreciprocated, because if Choi Seungcheol is anything, itâs proud. Heâs rich, heâs good-looking, heâs pre-law, and the president of this fraternity, for fuckâs sakeâhe should not be hung up on a girl.
But heâd been doomed from the beginning. Ever since youâd been assigned to him as a challenge to overcome, an impossible task to conquer, heâd been helplessly, pathetically smitten with you.
And fuck if you didnât know it, too.
So, itâs a game now. A lifetimeâs worth of pining for Seungcheol all because his frat was misogynistic and refused to keep up with the times. Theyâd nodded in your direction and laughed at the confusion on his face, the knot between his brows. Seungcheol couldnât figure out why his initiation was to fuck a girl, one his brothers wouldnât even address by name, but when heâd approached you at a party and youâd immediately told him to go fuck himself, heâd figured it out pretty quick.
Call it determination, call it a stubborn streak that refused to quit, but the two of you soon came to a reluctant agreement: you would let Seungcheol lie to his frat, figuring he was attractive enough that people thinking youâd slept together wouldnât be complete social suicide, and heâd owe you a favor youâd keep in your back pocket for as long as it took to cash in.
Which hadnât taken long. The stress of finals that first year had gotten to all of you, and it wasnât long before you were at his door looking for his drug-dealing roommate and a quick fuck.
That was the second time Seungcheol had been doomed to hopeless pining, because once he had you, he knew itâd be impossible to let you go.
Short of outright saying the words, heâd all but told you as much during some alcohol-induced brain shortage junior year. And, in turn, youâd all but laughed in his face.
Right.
Of course.
That was to be expected.
So, youâd continued your⊠well, whatever this is: quick fucks when both of you were bored or lonely or horny, usually under the influence of something illegal; a mutually tense but beneficial relationship for each of you, because you had been Seungcheolâs initiation and the initiation itself awarded him connections and opportunities. You got a back-up plan. A safe body and warm bed to retreat to when the need aroseâone who clearly wanted it to be something more, but was, all things considered, fine with the current arrangement. Didnât pressure you.
But, as was also to be expected, it was never going to be that simple when feelings got involved. When he started feeling slighted. When he wanted you so bad he ached with it sometimes and it was beneath you to care. Which is why he really, really needs to find Vernon. If heâs going to endure an entire party with you, heâs not going to do it sober.
He takes the steps two at a time, feet stumbling onto the landing as soon as he reaches it. Vernonâs door is the third on the left, and he can hear a separate, distinct bass line from the one booming downstairs that hums louder the closer he gets.
And Vernon knows. Of course he does, because heâs yanking his door open before Seungcheol has even raised a hand to knock, the stench of weed seeping out into the hallway, and all he needs is a quick look at Seungcheol before he pulls the door open wider and says, âLadies and gentlemen, the President of the United States of America,â as if heâs speaking into a microphone. When Seungcheol doesnât react, he awkwardly tacks on, âHi, hyung. Iâm assuming sheâs here.â
Seungcheol nods, dumbly, and stands as awkwardly in the center of the room as someone whoâs about to ask their roommate for drugs tends to be. âYeah.â Shoves his hands in the pockets of his overpriced jeans so Vernon canât see the sheen of sweat.
âYou looking for somethinâ specific?â he asks, rifling through the top drawer of a tall dresser. âLike, is this an Iâm about to fuck her the rest of the night visit or an I need something to help me forget she doesnât actually like me visit?â
The words come like a reflex. âFuck you,â he seethes. Vernonâs not wrong, per se, but he didnât have to go and just⊠say it like that.
Vernon just shrugs, one side of his worn-out collar slipping down his shoulder as he does so, and Seungcheol canât tell if heâs actually dressed for the party or not. âGonna guess itâs the second one, then.â
Seungcheol scoffs. âWell, itâs not,â he insists, knowing damn well he should let it go, that heâs just digging himself a bigger hole, but the truth sits in the pit of his stomach like lead.
And, really, he knows he just needs to accept it. That little strand of hope hasnât brought him anything but more painâallowed him to delude himself into thinking it could be something more, something tangibleâand itâs time to let it go.
You donât want more.
You donât want the label and the relationship.
You donât want him.
He knows this, but it still tastes sour in his mouth. Still tastes like the chill of autumn when youâd first showed up at his door all that time ago. Tastes like all the blunts youâve shared and the liquor from all the parties youâd snuck away in the middle of. Tastes like the sharp notes of your perfume, the ones thatâd coat his tongue when heâd kiss down your neckâthe same notes that stain his bedsheets.
Mostly, itâs the pitying look Vernonâs giving him that hurts the most. Heâs above pity. Doesnât need it, especially not from Vernon Chwe, but it hurts all the same to be on the receiving end of it.
âGive me whatever youâve got.â
Vernonâs face quickly morphs into surprised concern. âUh, Iâm not sure thatâs a good idea. I mean, Iâve got some pretty heavy shit here.â
Heat flares in his belly. The pity was bad enoughânow he wants to be patronizing? âThen give me whatever the fuck you think I need,â he snaps. âI donât care. I donât have time for this shit.â
âWell, you definitely need to chill,â Vernon mumbles. âYou want some dabs?â
âNo. SomethingâŠâ The word feels thick in his mouth. Stronger implies that Seungcheol does heavy drugs, and thatâs not true. âElse,â he finally finishes.
Vernon sighs as he continues rifling through the drawer. âYour dad would fucking kill me if I gave you my real heavy shit, soâŠâ He pauses, eyebrows raising in triumph as he finds what he was looking for: a small baggie filled halfway with some nondescript powder. âYou want a bump?â
Maybe he should be ashamed at how quickly he agrees, at the urgency and greed with which he grabs the baggie from Vernonâs fingers, but he just needs something. Needs the distraction, the brain fog. He shoves it in his back pocket next to his wallet. âHow much do I owe you?â
Vernon wrinkles his nose. âNah. Consider that one a freebie. No offense, but youâre a real piece of shit when youâre like this.â
The implication only pisses him off more. Seungcheol is loadedâhe can afford to pay his drug dealer, thank you very muchâbut heâs not like anything. âIâm sorry?â
True to his nature, Vernon barely shrugs. âIâll put it on your tab, hyung,â he says in a way that implies heâs not at all going to do that and is only saying so to get the fraternity president off his back.
Jeonghan (23:12) Better come get your girl. Kim Mingyuâs dick looks like itâs halfway up her ass by now. Jeonghan (23:12) Uh oh! I think I just saw a testicle
Seungcheol stares down at his phone, hands trembling in anger. Of course itâs Mingyu. That pathetic loser has been taking up residence on the subs bench ever since youâd made out with him months ago in an admittedly successful attempt at payback. Seungcheol had hooked up with some downgrade at a party one time and youâd gone and made out with his friend. It was hardly a fair trade.
Seungcheol (23:14) Good for Mingyu, he can deal with her then Seungcheol (23:14) Iâm busy Jeonghan (23:14) Doing what? Jerking off in the upstairs bathroom again? Jeonghan (23:15) Do you know what size condom he wears btw? Looks like I might need to fetch him one if you donât want to take care of another manâs baby Jeonghan (23:16) Although, to be fair, you might want to sit this one out. He has way better bone structure than you. Might be a blessing in disguise Seungcheol (23:16) Fuck you Jeonghan (23:16) Better be nice to me, Choi Seungcheolie~ that might be the only fuck you get tonight
Seungcheol needs better friends. He needs a lot of things, really, but number one on his to-do list is to never let Jeonghan be on babysitting duty ever again. Somehow heâd forgotten how obnoxious Yoon Jeonghan is when he isnât stoned and half-asleep on a couch somewhere.
For now, he just stomps down the hallway; locks himself in his room and doesnât bother to turn on the light. Heâs not going to be here long. Just enough time to do this line, change his t-shirt, and come up with a game plan, because heâs not going to let Mingyu even entertain the thought of being able to have you but he also canât appear desperate. Not just to you, but to everyone else. Choi Seungcheol is not clingy, especially not over a girl.
Especially especially over a girl who doesnât even want him like that.
But the longer he sits in the dark, the more trouble he has finding his resolve. Canât bring himself to dig that baggie out of his pocket. Canât drag his t-shirt over his head. Canât bring himself to think about anything other than Mingyuâs hands all over you, and fuck, does that image drive him insane.
Does he touch you like Seungcheol does?
Does he coax those same jagged whimpers from your mouth like Seungcheol does?
Does his semi-hard cock feel as good pressed against you?
God, heâs so fucked. Utterly and completely fucked. And he wonders if this would be as bad if heâd just kept his mouth shut, took that secret to his grave instead of fooling himself into thinking it could be more. If it wouldnât have devolved into⊠this. Youâd always told him not to get attached, that sex was just sex and there was no need to ruin a good thing. But Seungcheol is a selfish man, always has been, and what if? is a dangerous question.
Jeonghan (23:36) Wow, youâre a fucking pussy. Stop hiding in your room like a little bitch. Seungcheol (23:36) Fuck off
He canât go down there. Not because heâs a coward, but because heâs barely tethered to his sanity as it is. Something about you brings him out of his mind, makes him toss whatever good judgment he has left to the wind. Seungcheol is far too impulsive when it comes to you, reckless in ways that have all twenty years of his social training weeping in a corner; have alarm bells ringing in his brain. So, no, he canât go downstairs right now because he knows heâll do something stupid. Stick not only his foot but his entire lower body in it. He shouldâve listened, yet here he is, dick pulled halfway out of his jeans because the thought of you alone gets him hard but his pride wonât let him jerk off to the image of anyone touching you thatâs not him.
Forget whatever Jeonghan had called him. Heâs a fucking fool. A moonstruck, delusional fool whoâd tricked himself into thinking he could swim when he can barely tread water.
You (23:41) Something wrong?
Oh, here we fucking go, he thinks. Because this is Seungcheolâs gameâone heâd perfected years ago, the one where heâs coy and chilly, never too eager, never committed. Just a little bit of a tease. Barely enough to keep them on the hook, a little needy; still enough to keep them coming back. But youâd taken one look at him all those years ago and had him pegged immediately. Figured out his game and learned the rules, used them against him. Now you watch him flounder with a smile on your face.
Seungcheol (23:42) Never knew you were so needy baby. First you show up uninvited and now youre missing me?
But just because thereâs now a player two doesnât mean heâs doomed to lose. He knows how you look when youâre on your knees for him. Knows how you sound when youâre begging to cum and stuttering out his name like youâre singing hymns. Knows how you look with your eyes rolled back after heâs fucked you dumb. Kim Mingyu doesnât know shit.
Seungcheol knows heâs the only one fortunate enough to experience you like this.
And god does it kill him.
You (23:44) Donât act stupid
A pleased exhale of laughter, an equally-smug smirk. Yeah, this is still Seungcheolâs game, the crown still sitting atop his head. You can let Mingyu grind his dick against you all you want, but Seungcheol is still the one youâre seeking out, pouting at the fact he hasnât come to find you yet.
You (23:44) Mingyu invited me
Oh, youâre goodâknow just which buttons to press and how much pressure to use. Whatever smug expression Seungcheol had been wearing slides off his face immediately, tongue pressing into his cheek.
Seungcheol (23:46) And yet youre looking for me? You (23:47) Donât have to look for you to know youâre upstairs sulking in your room because Jeonghan tattled on me like a fucking five year old Seungcheol (23:49) Maybe you should come up here then Seungcheol (23:49) Away from prying eyes
You donât reply immediately. Itâs just long enough for Seungcheolâs brain to conjure up something indecentâthe way youâll straddle him, the way his cock will feel pressed against the apex of your thighs; the goosebumps thatâll raise on his arms when you work your tongue along his neck, that spot near his collarbone you know he likes. His cock throbs against the confines of his jeans when he thinks about the devastated look on Mingyuâs face when you make up some excuse to get away from him, to traipse up the stairs and fall into Seungcheolâs bed, when he realizes heâs not going to have you.
You (23:56) Itâd be pretty rude to leave my date, donât you think? You (23:57) If you want me so bad, come down here and get me yourself
Seungcheol doesnât play games; doesnât compete because he has no competition. Heâs always been given whatever he wants on a silver platter, no questions asked, so heâs wholly unprepared for this turn of events. What he knows he should do (respond to your text and tell you to fuck off, that you know where he is should you stop being a brat and change your mind) is not what he does (tucks his dick back in his jeans, finally throws on a clean t-shirt, and takes his time descending the stairs so he doesnât look too eager), because logical thought gets tossed out the window entirely wherever youâre concerned.
âAh, if it isnât our resident pissbaby making his grand re-entrance.â
Seungcheol clenches his jaw for the nth time and glares. âFuck off, Jeonghan.â
The man in question laughsâthe annoying raspy one that grates on Seungcheolâs nervesâand hands over a cup of something brown and pungent. âWell, judging from your attitude, and the fact youâre barely hiding that boner youâve got, you clearly didnât spend your time away jerking off. What finally got you down here, the promise of cheap whiskey I nicked off some freshman or the fact that your girlfriendâs about two seconds from getting a public indecency charge courtesy of Kim Mingyu?â
Well. Jeonghan may be an asshole but heâs not wrong. Even through the crowd of people and the haze of whateverâs in his cup and a contact high, Seungcheol spots you immediately. Your back is pressed against Mingyuâs chest, his fingers gripping tight at your waist as you roll your hips in time with his. Whatever manufactured filth heâs whispering to you draws a smile, causes you to reach up and tug sharply at his hair. Fuck, Seungcheol can almost hear Mingyuâs moan from across the room, and his blood quickly heats to a rapid boil.
Another chuckle from the demon beside him. âStop fucking laughing,â Seungcheol snaps, still unable to take his eyes off of you. âFuck this. Iâm going back upstairs. Make sure everyoneâs out of here by three. Iâm not paying for another noise citation.â
Jeonghan rolls his eyes. âIâm absolutely not going to do that.â He shoves a bottle of something in Seungcheolâs hand. âTake this and think of me when youâre crying yourself to sleep because Mingyu stole guaranteed pussy right out of your hands.â
âWhy do you do this?â Seungcheol asks, shoving at Jeonghanâs shoulder roughly. âYou never know when to fucking quit.â
Another streak of white-blond. âHey, no fighting!â Soonyoung slurs, trying his best to push Seungcheol to the other side of the kitchen with his useless, limp arms.
This attracts the attention of Joshua, who struts into the room looking straight out of Fashion Week, much like he always does. He hasnât even broken a sweat. âAw, are Mom and Dad fighting again?â he asks, his lips tugged into a smirk. He ignores Seungcheolâs scowl as he fixes himself a drink. âYou know Mingyu only does it to get a reaction out of you,â Joshua adds, quieter this time, as if heâs telling Seungcheol a secret only meant for the two of them to share.
âWhatâs her excuse, then?â Seungcheol fires back, because even if he doesnât like it, Joshuaâs right. This is exactly the kind of behavior heâd expect from resident campus whore Kim Mingyu, but he never expected you to go along with it.
Joshua cocks an eyebrow. âShe doesnât need an excuse, Cheol. Sheâs not your girl.â
Even though itâs a truth he already knows, it somehow hurts worse being spoken in plaintext, a hushed conversation in a crowded kitchen. Being let down gently. Seungcheol knows he needs to make a decision. He needs to let you go and start moving on with his life; canât be having these quasi-meltdowns during frat parties anymore. Canât be possessive and spiteful. You donât want him. Everyone knows you donât want him, so thatâs all there is to it. Maybe youâll want Mingyu and he can finally wash his hands of this forever, scrape the jealousy off his tongue.
He steels himself. Rolls his shoulders back, cracks his neck. Navigates the crowd in the living room until he reaches you and your so-called date. Grabs you by the elbowâgentle enough that it doesnât hurt but firm enough to send a messageâand says the two of you need to talk. Upstairs. Now. Mingyu just smiles like he knew this was coming and presses a pointless, wasted kiss just below your ear. Seungcheol tells him to fuck off, too, and Mingyu grins wider, tongue darting out to wet his lips.
As he guides you to his room, he doesnât think about the way your hand fits in his. Doesnât think about how this is going to be the last time he has you. Doesnât think about whoâll have you after. Doesnât bother to wonder if youâve finally changed your mind like he had all those other times heâd walked this same familiar path with you in tow. Because itâs the last time. Whatever happens once itâs over is out of his control.
Perhaps thatâs what itâd always been about. Seungcheol has always been spoiled and selfish and so terribly, terribly desperate to prove heâs more than his family name and family money. So, yeah, heâd wanted the control; wanted what was never his for the taking. Youâd always been the oppositeâhis perfect little counterpart. Always so pliant and careless and free: everything Seungcheol tried so hard to be but couldnât, and thatâs where the switch flipped.
Someone like you isnât meant to be controlled.
What he used to want so badly now tastes rancid in his mouth.
The door locks behind you. Seungcheol doesnât meet your eye as he says, âYou got what you wanted. Are you done being a fucking brat?â Itâs not a tone he usually takes. Usually heâs dirty, a little possessive, willing to let you set the pace. He doesnât miss the way your breath hitches. âI asked you a question.â
âSeungcheolââ
He clicks his tongue, stalks closer until youâre nearly in his grasp. Your eyes close instinctively as if youâre expecting his mouth on yours. Instead, he threads his long fingers in your hair and pulls. âWhatâs so hard about answering a simple yes or no question? Did you really want Mingyuâs dick so bad youâve gone dumb all of a sudden?â
You gasp. âNo.â
âNo what?â Seungcheol chides. âNo, youâre not done being a brat? Or no, you werenât just downstairs acting desperate and pathetic for mediocre cock?â He runs his thumb across the seam of your lips, follows their movements as you speak.
âI wasnâtââ
A low, mocking chuckle. âYou were, baby.â Sounds condescending; speaks to you like youâre a stupid child. Heâs so close to you now. Can smell the tang of your skin, the sticky notes of your perfume. Feels your breath fan against his own sweat-slick skin. Still avoids your gaze, because as domineering as he appears, he knows he can unravel just as quickly. âTake your clothes off. This is the last time Iâm gonna fuck you and Iâm not going to ask twice.â
Now you truly look caught off-guard. âWhat?â Still he ignores you, expensive silver rings clinking into a dish on his dresser one by one, expensive watch following. âWhat do you mean the last time?â
Deft fingers play at the buttons on his shirt. Not silk, but just as expensive. âShit. Youâre really testing my patience, you know.â Youâre still standing at the edge of his bed, staring dumbly as if heâs just going to start spilling all his secrets, give you some kind of explanation. âI believe I told you to strip.â
Unlike Seungcheol, your fingers tremble as they work at buttons and zippers and hemlines, push down denim and remove heels. Itâs clear youâre trying to work out what heâs playing atâif this is some punishment for fucking around with Mingyu or if he really means itâbut youâre not going to risk asking. Things between the two of you are already tense as it is. Seungcheol has never been wound this tight, never been so ready to snap.
âThatâs it,â he praises once youâre left in nothing but a skimpy underwear set you know he likes. âLook at you. Fucking gorgeous. I bet thatâs why you think you can get away with embarrassing me, huh?â He grabs your chin, forces you to meet his gaze for the first time since heâd dragged you up here. âGet on your knees. Iâm getting tired of repeating myself.â
Itâs not an unfamiliar sightâas it is, you usually leave Seungcheolâs room with bruised knees on a good nightâbut it settles differently in his gut this time. Because heâd dared a glance at you once and knows he canât do it again, so he watches the top of your head as you fumble with his belt buckle and looks away whenever he thinks you might risk a glance upwards. Finds some point on the wall to focus on. Hisses through his teeth when you pull his cock from his briefs, your hands cold against his flushed skin.
All he wants to do is kiss you. Draw this out. Give you a memorable last time, maybe mark you up a little. He really wants to savor the feeling of your tongue on his cock, but all he can focus on is the fact that heâll never be enveloped in that wet heat again. Heâs never going to feel your mouth working him over, feel you humming around his length because he knows you love the weight of it, you love wrenching away that little bit of control, turning him into a mess.
But heâs not going to dwell. Heâs going to thumb at the hinge of your jaw, force it open just wide enough for his cock to fit inside. Then heâs going to fist your hair into a makeshift ponytail, grip it tight, use it to guide your mouth until thereâs only an inch of space between you. Heâs going to stare down at you, silently revel in how fucked out you look already even though he hasnât touched you. Heâs going to watch the way your fingers dig into your thighs because they canât touch him. Then heâs going to sayâ
âBeg me. Beg me to let you suck my cock.â
Thereâs a flicker of hesitation. Seungcheol doesnât talk to you like this. This is not the kind of dynamic the two of you have, and Seungcheol finds himself wondering if things would be different if it was. If heâd never started going so easy on you. Would you want him then? Or would you have left a long time ago?
Heâs half-expecting you to do that now. You look ready to bolt, to pull your clothes back on and tell him to go fuck himself on the way out. Probably go straight back to Mingyu, let him fuck you hard but routine, the way Seungcheol usually does, the way he knows you like. He expects you to leave, and this is the last time, anyway, so he figures he has nothing left to lose.
âIâm going soft,â he snaps, the admonishment harsh on his tongue. When you look up at him, his jaw is clenched, eyes narrow. âYou have one fucking job and you canât even do that properly? Whoâs going to want a dumb little whore that canât follow simple instructions?â
He watches your eyes squeeze shut involuntarily. Wonders if heâs gone too far before deciding he doesnât care if he has. Itâs the last time, anyway, so itâs not like it matters. Watches the indents in your thighs grow deeper. Watches you inhale and try to steady your breathing.
Watches your eyes snap open, any trace of hesitation long gone. âDid you make that other girl beg for you?â
Seungcheol snorts, amusement showing all over his face. âIs that what this is about? Youâre still mad I hooked up with some other girl so you act like this?â He clicks his tongue at you, fists his cock, slicking it up. âAre you jealous?â
âNo,â you answer simply, âIâm just trying to figure out why you think you can speak to me however the fuck you want.â
Seungcheolâs hand stutters along his length before it stills, your words sharp and immediate against his skin. He shouldâve known. Shouldnât have thought something like this would work on you, that youâd like it, and heâs halfway to soft and throwing his hands up and tucking his dick back into his briefs when you say, âAnswer the question.â
âWhat?â
You tsk. Move your hands from your thighs to his, nails pressing just deep enough to leave crescent moons behind that match your own. Something for someone else to see. âDid you make her beg for you?â
Seungcheolâs brain power decreases the higher your palms go, when your thumbs press into the dimples of his hips. Can barely choke out a hissed yes, yeah, fu-fuck when your hand covers his, fingers wrapping tightly around his own as you guide it back and forth, up and down the length of his cock. âWhat did you make her beg for, Cheol?â
âToâto to-touch me.â
You hum. Tighten your grip on Seungcheolâs hand and laugh as his hips roll involuntarily, seeking the friction. âTouch you how? Like this?â
âYeahâfuck, yes, like this.â
âDid she? Did she listen to you like a good girl?â Your hand leaves Seungcheolâs only to collect the precum at his tip. âDonât get all shy now, Cheolie.â You suck your thumb into your mouth and he whines. âWas she a good girl for you?â
You sit back on your haunches. Watch him jerk himself off. âYeah,â he finally says, word cracking in the middle. âBoring, though. Not likeânot like you.â
âNo one is like me,â you admonish. âI couldâve told you that for free, before you went off and fucked someone else.â
âNot an idiot,â Seungcheol replies, the pace of his hand quickening. Heâs playing a dangerous game; approaching the cliff edge at a dangerous pace. âNo-nothing comes for free with you.â
All you do is smile, lopsided and smug. âMm, thatâs true. Guess your little dom moment earlier can just be chalked up to momentary stupidity, hm?â Seungcheol wants to nod, wants apologies to tumble from his lips until you shut him up, but his palm is so slick against his dick, fist tight enough to white out his vision. âDid you make her beg to suck your cock?â
Truth be told, Seungcheol canât remember much of anything right now. Heâs perilously close to coming, right at that precipice, and each filthy word that slips from your mouth just pushes him further to the edge. He remembers Chan inviting him to a party. He remembers a few drinks, a few hits from a blunt, compliments of Vernon; he remembers a girl making eyes at him from across the roomâeyes that had looked a lot like yours in the haze of his crossfade. He remembers a locked bathroom and the sound of his voice as he told that girl how to touch him so it felt like you. He remembers her doing whatever he told her to, remembers how eager and submissive she was, how she didnât mouth off to him the way you always doâ
Remembers how unsatisfying itâd been when he came.
Youâve ruined him.
Not a revelation. Not even close to one. Seungcheol has known this for a long time, but that doesnât mean annoyance doesnât flare in his belly at the reminder. You donât want him. Being so hung up on you isnât doing him any favors, just means heâll have a longer drop when this is all over. God, what the fuck is he doing?
He wants you so badly heâs aflame with it. He wants you so badly he can barely look at you anymore. He wants you so badly it consumes him, drives him insane, has him all fucked up and seething. He wants you, he wants you, heâ
Loves.
Reality washes over him like a cold wave. Knocks him backwards, drowning, desperately trying to remember how to breathe. In, out; in, outâand none of it changes a goddamn thing.
Four years of this. Four years of touches exchanged in the dark, behind locked doors. Four years of yearning and trying and failing. Four years of everything getting lost in translation, because itâs hitting him now, but shouldnât he have felt it before? Shouldnât all those âdrive me fuckinâ crazy, canât fucking stand youâs he spoke into the crook of your neck rang hollow?
âCheolââ you say, because you asked him something, tried to play along with this whole stupid charade, and he knows heâs frozen, just standing there, hand still wrapped around his cock, and he needs to say something, he needs to fix thisâ
âIâm a liar,â is what he comes up with. Youâre still staring up at him, brows furrowed, pinched in the middle. Move, he wills himself, but nothing happens. âIâm a liar,â he says again, because if he says it enough youâll believe it. âIâm sorry. Iâmââ
âWhat are you talking about?â
He swallows. Iâm in love with you, he wants to say. Feels the weight of the words on his tongue, heavy and pressing, and he thinks you should know. Even if you donât feel the same, he thinks you deserve to know, but the way youâre looking at himâ
He canât bring himself to say it.
But he canââCan I show you instead?â
Slowly, you nod. Seungcheol nods, too, still feeling off-kilter as he cradles your face in his hands, thumbs in the contours of your cheeks. Moves them down your neck, your shoulders, down the length of your arms. You meet him halfway, twining your fingers together, and he helps you stand, careful and considerate. At full height, he places a hand in the small of your back to tug you closer, kisses you like itâs the end of the world. Whines into your mouth at your familiar taste, and if he lets himself be delusional enough, he can pretend thereâs form and substance to those sounds, that their edges are squared-off to form the words he wants to say.
Because it really might be the end of the world. Seungcheol has never known how to play the cards heâs been dealt when it comes to you. Always gets it wrong. Feints one way when heâs meant to go the other, takes the field with two left feet, always playing catch-up. Maybe the mistake was treating it like a game. Maybe the mistake was strategizing, only playing to win, because he lays you gently on his bed, fits his body in the space you create for him between your legs, and realizes he already won a long time ago.
He won the first time your eyes met. He won the first time heâd kissed you, more nerves and teeth than anything else. He won the first time you tucked yourself against his side and stared at his bedroom ceiling, half-smoked joint between your fingers, and made fun of the stupid flag heâd hung up. He won every time you took all the bullshit he threw at you and dished it right back. He won every time he had the privilege of tracing mindless shapes into your soft skin.
Every second of your time you chose to give himâall victories.
He presses in further. Groans when your hands move to his shoulders and grip tight; when your nails dig into the skin of his back. âIâve been so stupid,â he says, punctuating his words with a nip at your ear. Smirks out of the corner of his mouth at your shuddering breath. âHavenât I?â
âYeah,â you answer, rolling your hips upward. He grabs at you desperately, tries to keep you still; hisses when you swat his hands away and redouble your efforts. âYouâve been a fucking asshole for aâfor a while.â
You canât see the way he pouts. Wonders, too, if that would work on you, if itâd earn him one of those rare moments of tenderness. âWell Iâm trying toâshit, babyâtrying to make it up to you, but you seem pretty determined to make me bust right now.â
He can see the way you roll your eyes. See the way the corners crinkle after as you laugh softly, breathlessly, still trying to chase a high Seungcheol refuses to provide. âYou deserve it. You tried to dom me, you dickhead.â
Embarrassment sits obvious on his ruddy cheeks. He hides his face in the crook of your neck so you donât see it, donât have something to poke at him with later, but youâre having none of it. You thread your fingers through his hair and tug gently, forceful enough to have him pliable, and there it is: there are stars in your eyes as you stare up at him, tender and soft just like he hoped youâd look, and he misses the feeling of your nails on your scalp until youâre tugging at the delicate chain around his neck and pulling him closer. âJust kiss me and weâll call it even.â
This is how it feels to get struck by lightning, he thinks. Every part of him is on fire, and heâs content to burn as his lips find yours. He sighs happily into your mouth, hikes your thigh higher around his middle, presses in to lay claim to what little space is left between you. Seungcheol is so close he can feel the rapid pace of your heartbeat, because this is not the way you usually kiss. What used to be dirty and quick, a means to an end, now has intent, purpose. Heâs kissing you like he wants to steal the air from your lungs to replace it with something better.
Trails those same kisses down the length of your body. Open-mouthed at your neck, your collarbones, the space between your breasts. Teasing and slow in the space between each rib, just to watch the way your skin pebbles. Hungry and insistent at the sensitive skin of your inner thighs, because if heâs feeling this unhinged, he wants you right there with him. Canât bear the thought of still being in this alone. Not anymore.
âLegs over my shoulders.â You listen immediately, and Seungcheol mutters a quiet fuck at the sight before him. âGod, youâre so wet.â
âNo shitââ
He swats at your clit, delighting in the way your body jolts. âHush. The only thing I wanna hear out of your smart mouth from now on is my fucking name.â And then heâs diving in.
He eats you out like a man starved; like he could do this every day for the rest of his life and he still wouldnât be satisfied. Canât help but rut against the mattress at the way you taste, the way your thighs tighten around his head, the sting as you pull at his hair. Places both hands beneath your ass to lift and drag you closer to his waiting mouthâlicks at you wet and feverish, all of this seemingly more for him than it is for you, and youâll get tired of it soon, just like you always do. Youâll tell himâ
âDo it right, Cheol, pleaseââ
And heâll pull away and tsk, swat at you again. His responding laugh will be cocky and derisive when your body trembles again, frantic with the need for more. âWhat did I say, baby? Do you not trust me to make you come?â You cock an eyebrow, torn between throwing some sarcastic remark at him and following the rules long enough to get what you want. His voice grows serious as he presses a soft kiss to your core. âI will always take care of you.â
The rest is muscle memory.
The rest has a chorus of Cheol, Cheol, Seungcheol spilling from your lips as he suctions his own around your clit. The rest has you grinding your pussy against his face. The rest has him groaning at the way heâs so wholly consumed by you: the taste of you on his tongue, face soaked, two fingers pressed deep into your cunt. The rest has him saying thatâs it, baby, come on my face, I know you can and feeling delirious when he finally pushes you over the edge; when your walls clench around his fingers, breathing fractured, when you grab at him until youâre eye-level and youâre licking into his mouth to taste yourself.
Tastes a lot like I love you.
âWant you to ride me,â he says, gaze half-lidded and pleading. You whine as he moves his thumb back to your clit, tracing slow, slow, slow circles, oversensitive. âWill you do that for me?â
The party seems so far away. Grows even further away when you nod and straddle his lap. Seungcheol sits up, tells you to wrap your legs around him. Canât stand not touching you; needs every inch of his skin to be covered by you like a bruiseâsomething deep thatâll last for days, weeks, months. The mottled colors will change, but itâll still be there.
âNeed you, Cheol,â you whisper, kissing his eyelids. He hadnât realized heâd closed his eyes.
âYou have me,â he answers, but it sounds foreign to his earsâsounds wretched, like the words have been punched out of him. It sounds like forfeit. âAlways have.â
You pull back. Study his face. Run over his plush bottom lip with your thumb. It feels like an eternity of silence before you speak. âNo, I havenât,â you insist, tone insistent but delicate, like youâre trying to convince him of it, too. âNot like this.â
I love you.
You lift your hips just enough to sink down on his cock. Seungcheolâs moan is loud and unabashed, not afraid to let anyone hear the way you make him feel. All he can think is familiar: he knows your blinding white heat; has made countless homes in your tight grip he still holds the keys to; has done this so many goddamn times itâs second nature.
He was an absolute fool to think he could ever walk away.
You roll your hips, taking him deeper like youâve got something to prove, body moving on its own sinuous accord. Seungcheol loves you like this, when you know exactly what you want and arenât afraid to take it. When you press sloppy kisses to his neck, the column of his throat. When he grabs at your hips, tries to move you faster along the length of his cock, and you swat his hands away. When your rhythmic up-and-down turns into a slow grind that has you gasping and breathless, pussy spasming around him.
âGoddamn, I love this pussy,â he chokes out, fingers gripping tightly at the sheets since he canât touch you. Heâs mindless with pleasure, feels himself start babbling nonsense he canât make sense of, and itâs overwhelming, having you like this. Isnât sure how heâs survived this long, but maybe you were right.
Maybe it was never like this before.
Usually heâd take you from behind, quick and dirty, hands digging into the meat of your ass, palm cracking down on it every now and then, imparting white heat of his own. Usually heâd have you beneath him, knees pressed to your chest, all condescension as you told him, eyes rolled back, that he was too deep, that you couldnât take it, and heâd rub at your clit and tell you you could as he dragged another orgasm out of you. Usually heâd be so frenzied and worked up heâd take you against the door, sweats pushed to mid-thigh, forearms straining as they held you up.
So, yeahâthis is different. This is a patient, sensual dance to the finish line. This is Seungcheol in his rawest form: a live wire, vulnerable, anxious. This is the unknown, because something has to come after but he doesnât know what it is.
This is Seungcheol throwing caution to the wind, leaning in close enough to taste the salt on your skin, and saying, âI love you.â
This is Seungcheol planting his feet and fucking up into you, unwilling to hear your response. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but sometimes bliss is just bliss, and heâll willingly take either.
This is you coming undone on his cock, breathing rapid and ragged, pupils blown wide as you stare at him in awe.
âSay it again.â
Someone slams into the wall just outside Seungcheolâs door, and all at once the real world creeps back in: the thrumming bass line of the music downstairs; laughter, shouting, and yelling; fists banging on shut doorsâbut he hears you loud and clear. Presses each word into your mouth this time and groans when you swallow them. Barely makes a sound as he spills inside of you, feeling like every nerve in his body is aflame.
The two of you are quiet for a time as you try to catch your breath. Seungcheol only moves to grab his duvet and wrap it around your shoulders, smiling fondly at the small thank you you mumble, seemingly still bogged down, well-fucked.
He presses a tender kiss to the corner of your mouth.
âOkay?â
You nod, push at him until he lays back and pulls you with him, lets you use his firm chest as a pillow. That flag youâd made fun of before isnât up there anymore, but Seungcheol feels warm at the memory anyway, almost laughs at the comment he imagines youâd make.
Clears his throat. Tries to find his courage. âI really am sorry,â he tells you again, because it doesnât matter if he loves you if he doesnât know how to be good at it.
âI know, Cheol,â comes your easy reply. Youâre tracing shapes on his stomach that have his muscles contracting. âI know you love me, too.â You sigh, press your lips to his rib cage. âWho knew itâd only take making out with Mingyu to get you to admit it.â
A wild laugh tumbles out of him. âFuck off.â He can feel your grin.
âYou got a fucked up way of showing it, though.â
He hums, holds onto you a little tighter. âGo easy on me, I only figured it out about an hour ago.â
âAn hour?â you faux-gasp, make like youâre about to leave. âIâm outta here. I know my worth. If Iâm going to say it back to someone, they need to be in love with me for at least two.â
He chokes at the implication, heart threatening to beat right out of his chest and into yours. He knows he looks exactly like the moonstruck, loved-up loser he is, and he coughs to cover it. âThatâs what I said,â he lies. âTwo hours. You mustâve heard it wrong.â
No, it was never like this.

hii!! I love your writing ! đ„č unfortunately I suffer from endometriosis so having sex isnât always easy for me and it can be quite uncomfortable to give your sexual partners a heads up beforehand so I wanted to request a fic where maybe reader has endometriosis and they have sex for the first time and she asks lando to be gentle and heâs just so soft and takes care of her during and afterwards and stuff đ«¶đŒ
Warnings: Smut, 18+ soft!sex, endometriosis (only putting this as a warning coz some ppl think sexual conditions should be a warnings even though I disagree), oral (f receiving), lube.
Pairing: Lando Norris x endometriosis!fem!reader
A/N - idk what someone who has endometriosis is called :(, also, Iâm sorry if I got anything wrong, I tried to research it, and it says lube and foreplay are good for endometriosis, correct me if Iâm wrong xx
âHave you ever tried before?â Lando asked, his fingers slowly raking through your hair, your head resting on his chest, the subtle thump thump of his heartbeat in your ear. âI-I have,â you admitted, your hand intertwined with his, his thumb rubbing small circles into your palm.
âHe was such a dick, he didnât even ask if it felt good, so I just faked it and left,â you mumbled as Lando sighed. âHe sounds like a prick,â he said softly, âyouâve never had a proper orgasm before?â. You shook your head, your cheeks tinged slightly pink, almost embarrassed at the fact.
âAndâŠyou want me to give you your first?â he asked as you nodded, once again, nestling into his chest, almost hiding your face. He smiled, a soft, raspy chuckle from his lips as he slowly turned so you were on your back. You were scared, yes, of course you were. But you trusted Lando.
âSafe wordâs papaya, okay?â he said, as you nodded, watching as he slowly tugged your shorts down, dragging your panties along with them with his teeth. Immediately initiating the safe word was the best thing he couldâve done in that moment. You could feel his breath on your thighs, his lashes tickling your skin as you waited.
âLando,â you gasped, his finger coming to draw small circles round your clit, collecting the juices youâd already had from the small heat in your belly, the pad of his thumb resting between your folds. Youâd expected him to just slide his finger in, or get you to suck his dick or something, but he hadnât.
âSo pretty,â he said softly, licking his fingers as he moved closer, pulling your legs gently over his shoulders so he could move his face closer to your core, his tongue licking a line up your folds, making you moan, your back arching slightly. âOh, f-fuck,â you gasped.
âMakinâ pretty sounds fâme already,â he hummed, the words sending a vibration through your core, yours finger intertwining with his curls. You were wet now, almost soaking wet, your heat dripping onto his tongue, the precision of this man would be enough to send you into a fit of orgasms, fuck.
You whined as he moved away, watching as he reached into the drawer, pulling out some lube, and a towel, lifting your hips so he could slide it under you, and moving the pillows so your hes wad comfy. That was kinda surprising.
You knew Lando was a good boyfriend, but thisâŠgreenest flag ever, right? âDid my research, baby,â he smiled, almost bashfully, as he took a generous amount of the stuff into his palm, pushing his joggers down, spreading the lube onto his member.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he hummed, moving his tip to rest at your entrance. âIâm gonna push in, okay? But first, you gotta tell me the safe word again,â he said, his hand moving to push your hair from your face. âLando,â you whined, almost in a daze, your mind blank.
âBaby, weâre not doing this unless I have the safe word, and you know it,â he said firmly. And, in some ways, the tone of his voice was an even bigger turn-on. âPapaya, papaya,â you whined, your eyes wide as you stared up at him. âGood,â he said, kissing your jaw.
You hissed as he pushed in, a sharp pain settling into your uterus, his movements stopping immediately. âMore lube?â he asked, as you nodded, watching him pull out so only his head hung inside of you, spreading more of the stuff over his cock.
âBetter?â he asked, pushing in, watching your face go blank, lips parting silently with need. âY-Yeah,â you nodded, his cock sitting inside of you, your tummy bulging a bit with his length. âPerfect,â he hummed, slowly moving, ever-so slowly, not enough to make you feel pleasure, but enough to make sure you knew he was there.
âI want you to tell me to speed up or slow down, okay?â he asked you nodded, hands on his shoulders. âMore,â you said, your voice a little choked as he sped up, another moan on your lips. His movements sped upon your command, your stomach tightening.
âG-Gonna cum,â you gasped, your eyes rolling. âBetter not be f-fake, yeah?â he groaned, his thrusts becoming sloppier, but still gentle. You nodded, closing your eyes as your first ever orgasm hit, your body shaking, Landoâs cock twitching inside of you as his cum pooled out, his seed spilling through.
âYouâre so good,â he gasped, gently pulling out, pressing a kiss to your forehead. You said nothing, just panting, your chest rising and falling as he moved you softly so you were in his arms, lying on his chest as he took a towel from the side, wiping his cock and your thighs clean.
You hummed, resting in his chest, eyes drooping, tired already as he smiled. âEnjoyed that?â he asked, as you nodded, âdidnât even use the safe word, thatâs how good you are,â he kissed your jaw again, moving your hair from your face, his hands rubbing small circles into your tummy.

pookieeee how are youuu đ I'm in NEED of a Franco fic where the reader is JoĂŁo FĂ©lix's little sister...
So she obvi speaks Portuguese and English (maybe some Italian in there too) butttt unlike her brother her Spanish is rusty. So when reader drags her brother (and of course some of the guys from the team) to support her best friend at a race, he's listening in to every little comment Franco makes about her in Spanish and trying to subtly give hints to reader that he likes her, and of course some good brother teasing! Just hardcore fluff, friend pining and good old family banter!
HE CAN UNDERSTAND - FC43
listen up : i used google translate donât come for me. not proofread! super cute and fluffy! loved this request sorry if i didng execute it wellđ
word count : 2281
âïœĄâ§Ëâ
âFranco!â I jump into my best friends arms as he laughs. The moment I asked for three Grand Prix tickets, he sent them over immediately and went on a rant of how excited he was to see me.
âY/n!â He grins widely at me, âIâm so happy youâre here!â He's in his race suit, his hair messy and extra wavy. I run my hand through it, fixing it a bit.
âYouâre a mess.â I laugh as he pushes my hand away and rolls his eyes, âOh!â I suddenly remember that my brother is standing behind me. âThis is my brother, JoĂŁo! I canât believe you two havenât met!â I smile at both of them as my brother shakes Francoâs hand.
Oddly professional for someone he knows I love. âNice to finally meet you. Y/n never shuts up about you.â I slightly blush at his words as Franco lets out a laugh.
âGood to knowâŠâ Franco gives us a mini tour. I'm so beyond happy for him. This has been his dream since forever, the first time I met him he even jokingly flirted and said I could be a WAG.
Franco is charming and hilarious so my brother likes him instantly. We end up in the Williamâs garage, everyone scrambling around and talking in languages I canât understand.
Since itâs race day, iâm genuinely surprised Franco had the time to see us. Especially since Qualifying was earlier today.
But my best friend works in magical ways.
âàŒș
FRANCO
I watch Y/n talk to Alexâs girlfriend. I watch as her hair flows down her back and her hand covers her mouth as she laughs. âSo,â JoĂŁo turns to me, sort of intimidating for his height but so far I think he approves of me. âYouâve known Y/n for a while, huh?â
I nod, âYeah, she hasn't been able to shake me yet.â He laughs, nodding his head.
âYou care about her?â Why do I feel like iâm getting interrogated?
I nod, âOf course. Sheâs my best friend.â
âI mean as more than a friend.â
I laugh uncomfortably, joking with him, âAre you asking me my intentions?â He does not find this funny. I clear my throat and breathe out, âWeâre just friends.â
Y/n comes skipping back over to us. Iâve always been taught to not lie, but iâm not about to confess that I like her to fucking brother.
âJ, youâve got to see his car!â She takes his arm and pulls him away, âYou coming, Fran?â
Iâm about to follow after them but my engineer taps my shoulder, âGimmie one second! Don't touch anything, Y/n, I know how you are!â
She gives me one of her signature smiles, making my pulse quicken and my smile falter. I catch her brother giving me an odd look before I sit up and wave.
I turn to my engineer whoâs smiling, big, âDios mĂo, te estĂĄs sonrojando.â (My god, youâre blushing.) I roll my eyes at him, turning to see Y/n point to my car and start asking questions to someone in blue.
âÂĄCĂĄllate por favor!â (Shut up please!) Her Spanish is more than rusty. I've tried to teach her some but she gets distracted and she always ends up persuading me into something different. Still, itâs weird talking about her when sheâs right there.
âVamos, ÂĄte gusta! Es la forma en que la miras... como si fuera el sol.â (Come on, you like her! Itâs the way you look at her⊠like sheâs the sun.) I push his shoulder at his words. Christ, is it that obvious?
âActĂșas como si fuera un cachorrito enamorado.â (You act like iâm some lovesick puppy)
âÂĄPorque lo eres! Siempre hablas de ella, tu pantalla de bloqueo es ella, ÂĄsiempre le estĂĄs enviando mensajes de texto! AdmĂtelo.â (Because you are! You always talk about her, your lock screen is her, you are always texting her! Just admit it.)
I cross my arms at him, not daring to glance back at her. âNo voy a arruinar mi relaciĂłn con ellaâŠâ I shake my head and tease him, âÂĄAhora vuelve a trabajar!â (Iâm not ruining my relationship with her⊠now get back to work!)
I join Y/n and JoĂŁo again, smiling and doing my duty as a tour guide. JoĂŁo gives me another weird look and iâm hoping itâs not because iâm losing his trust. I know iâm not her boyfriend, but I still want him to like me.
They are soon asked to step into the visitors area as I warm up for the race. Y/n kisses my cheek before she goes, âGood luck, Fran. Be careful!â I know my cheeks are red but all I can focus on is her so close to me, her lips on my cheek.
I nod, âThank you. Have fun watching.â I wink at her and turn, getting ready.
âàŒș
YOU
âIâm so nervous! Itâs so rainy!â I bite my lip as the cars go out on track in a second formation lap. The race hasnât even started and someoneâs already out!
My brother eyes me, heâs been acting weird all day and I hate it. He suddenly turns to me, âYou donât like Franco?â
It catches me off guard, âUh⊠of course I do?â He rolls his eyes.
âI mean can you see yourself with him? I think youâd be cute.â I laugh out loud.
âJoĂŁo, when have you ever wanted me to date someone?â Especially Franco. I mean, maybe iâve thought about it.
Okay maybe I've fantasized about it⊠a lot.
But what am I supposed to do? Confess to my best friend whoâs always been there for me that I think heâs irresistible and criminally hot? No.
âI just think if youâre gonna date anyone⊠Heâs a good option.â My cheeks heat as I shake my head, âYouâre blushing! Come on, Y/n, why not?â
âJust shut up, the race is starting!â
The next time he brings it up is at a yellow flag, âHeâs definitely nicer than your ex.â I give him a death glare and attempt to tune him out, âAnd who did you go crying to after he broke your heartâŠ.?â Franco. The answer is Franco because heâs always there.
Itâs been hard recently because of his races, but heâs constantly texting or calling me. I think he just wants someone to gossip with.
âAgain, heâs my friend. Just because you have a girlfriend now doesnât mean you know everything!â
âNo but I know everything about you, and you donât look at your other friends like that.â I hate that stupid smug smile on his face. And I hate that heâs right.
My stomach drops when Franco goes into the wall. I grab onto my brother's arm who doesnât look concerned at all and more happy that iâm so worried! I slap his arm, âYou have no empathy!â
I cross my arms, biting my lip as I watch him exit the car. Thank god heâs okay.
Franco gives me a small thumbs up when heâs back in the garage. I can tell heâs absolutely gutted, the air is awkward and thick with tension since Francoâs crash meant that the whole team's weekend is over.
The race is long and honestly scary. Still, all I can think about is Franco.
Maybe this weekend, his attention to me, my brothers comments, and how Francoâs been looking at me, has finally sealed what I've been dreading.
Iâve known I like him for a while, but I donât want to ruin us. I canât be embarrassed by my closest friend!
Iâm not an idiot, I see how he flirts with interviewers or even fans. Part of me wants to believe thatâs just his personality, but the other part is screaming at me that he doesnât like me.
His eyes though, he looks at me so deeply that sometimes I feel like I'm apart of some big trick.
âHey,â My brother nudges me, âRace is over.â I snap out of whatever daze I was in and nod, âI gotta pee, go talk to Franco!â
When I look to where he points, Francoâs already looking at me. His race suit is unzipped and he looks so tired. âHi.â He smiles softly but I can tell itâs forced.
âSorry your first race with me sucked.â He frowns, leaning against the little barrier from the garage and friends and family.
âHeyâŠâ I touch his arm briefly, âIt did not suck! And Itâs not your fault. It was scary thoughâŠâ
His eyes look sad and I know itâs not just because he crashed. Franco feels so deeply and this weekend has been especially hard for him. I can tell he sees the worry on my face, âI'm really really happy youâre here. Weâre getting dinner later, right?â
I go to the hotel with JoĂŁo first. We change and meet back at the restaurant. âIâm so hungry!â I groan as we sit down, Franco said he would be here soon but I am not above ordering early.
JoĂŁo sits across from me, âGotta wait for your boyfriend.â
I eye him, âYou better not say anything in front of Franco. I donât want to make him uncomfortable.â He laughs a bit.
âI really donât think I will.â Heâs so ominous today. âI can tell iâm making you uncomfortable though. My only question is⊠why?â
âWhy?â
âWhy canât you accept that you like him? Heâs obviously not going to turn you down. Heâs practically got hearts in his eyes when he talks to you.â The waiter brings water which I gulp down immediately.
âI- No! I canât like him. Heâs my friend.â
âSo youâve said⊠but the best relationships start out that way.â Why is he pushing this so much?
âI just⊠I donât want to ruin our relationship.â.
âFunnyâŠâ he mumbles something, âThat's what he said too.â but I canât hear him because Franco sits and starts saying hello.
Our dinner is amazing, the food is perfect and I canât stop laughing at Franco and JoĂŁo. âYouâve gotta come to a match sometime!â My brother laughs, âThe team would love you.â
Franco grins, âI would be honored! Y/n always talks about your games, youâre pretty good apparently.â This boosts my brother's ego far too much and we end the night while talking about football and childhood stories.
âHe always teased me with his friends!â I roll my eyes at the memory, âThey were all learning Spanish in highschool so I never understood them!â
Franco laughs as JoĂŁo shakes his head, âWhy didnât you take spanish in highschool?â
âI did! I just never caught on. Plus JoĂŁo became fluent after school anyway so his schooling barely helped.â I shrug as Francoâs expression turns odd.
He blinks, looking to JoĂŁo, âYouâre fluent?â
âSi.â He looks almost smug about it as Franco nods slowly, swallowing.
âAsĂ que escuchasteâŠâ (So you heardâŠ)
âTodo.â (Everything) Francoâs smile drops completely at my brothers words. But my brother still carries on with a smile, âEres muy obvio, pero lo apoyo.â (Youâre very obvious, but I support it.)
I frown at their communication that I canât understand, âOkay, can you two stop gossiping? Iâm ready to leave.â Franco smiles at me, nodding slowly as we stand.
Our walk back to the hotel is short and luckily no fans interrupt it. The warmth of the inside makes me smile and the ding of the elevator makes me yearn for my bed.
âUh, Y/n?â I look back at Franco as he talks, âCould I speak to you for a momentâŠâ I look at my brother who nods, a smile still on his face as he disappears behind the elevator doors. âLetâs go outside.â
Itâs no longer raining so we venture out into the hotel's garden. Itâs beautiful with tall plants and trees, a small path that we walk on, and flowers that I've never seen before.
âWhat did you walk to talk to me about?â I turn to him, he looks oddly scared and a bit chilly. He starts to speak but then closes his mouth and thinks, âFrancoâŠ?â
âI like you.â As soon as the words leave his mouth, I freeze, âI really like you and not just as a friend⊠like way more than that.â
I blink, âYouâre kidding?â
The panic on his face is immediate, âNo?â
âShit. Okay!â I realize iâm so caught up in my own world that he probably thinks I donât like him, âI feel the same.â
He breathes out, stepping closer, âYou fucking scared me.â
I smile, not believing this is even real, âYou really like me? Because my brother has been making me feel delusional all day!â He takes my hand in his and I swear my heart skips a beat.
âHe heard me talking about you in spanishâŠâ I raise a brow, âMy engineer was teasing me and I didnât know he spoke it!â I laugh, shaking my head at his story, âBut I'm glad he did. I probably would be sitting in my room all alone if he hadn't.â
I grip his hand tighter, stepping closer, âIâm really glad too. I didnât want to ruin anything but fuck I really like you.â
He grins and leans in, He paused before I nod. Franco presses a kiss to my lips softly, âI canât believe you have a crush on me.â I whisper as groans and rolls his eyes, trying to walk away.
âNo! No taking it back now!â I laugh, pulling him back to me, my hand going to his neck and my lips meeting his, âYouâre stuck with me now.â

reblogging comment review by @zyafics
LITERALLY FINISHED AN ASSIGNMENT AND NOW I CAN TAKE A BREATH LETS GOOOO (long annotations below âŹïž)
Arrogant, volatile, downright psychotic â Rafe was a walking disaster.
my psychopath lets gooo
The cabin was small and sparsely furnished: a bunk, a tiny porthole high on the wall, and a single chair bolted to the floor.There was a faint hum of the ship's engines, a constant reminder that you were far from land and any chance of immediate rescue.
ur descriptions paints the scene of s2ep10 when they were on the ship so well, like i remember staring at your words going: wow đŠ
"They left. Now, you're my problem. Lucky me.""Now, what am I going to do with you?"
why r all the crazy ones so fine
âTo you? Or Ward? Do you only get this cocky when daddyâs not around to rein you in?â
i love LOVE when the reader provokes rafe using his father like bro that's such a trigger for him rein it in đ
The punch came so fast, you didnât see it coming. Pain exploded across your jaw, and you tasted blood. He grabbed your chin, forcing you to look at him. âYou donât fucking talk about her, dirty pogue. Ever.â
YOOOOOO đĄ
The path led deeper into the heart of the island, the dense foliage casting long shadows as the sun began to set.
god, i love ur descriptions so much u don't understand i'm taking notes as i read this đ
He blinked, momentarily thrown off guard by your words, âStay out my fucking way or Iâll kill you myself.â
i love how much of a psychopath he is in this fic, like yes, this is the crazy man of s2 (i can fix him đ€đ»)
He was a product of his environment, molded by a father who saw him as nothing more than a means to an end.
YES, i love maybank!reader's deep analysis of rafe bc we know and that doesn't excuse his behavior but it helps us understand him đ„č
But beneath it all, there was something else. Something youâd seen before, when you looked at yourself in the mirror after you took the biggest beating of your life and Luke finally got thrown into jail: hope.Â
i love her lore so so much!!
And you began to see a way out, not just for yourself, but for Rafe too.
she's a love not a fighter fr đ©
"Because he's family. And sometimes, family is all you have. Even when theyâre terrible, even when they hurt you, sometimes you canât just walk away.""Family's supposed to be everything, right?"
my daddy issues babies, sometimes i wanna push u two together like barbie and ken during play sessions (am i making sense idk anymore)
The sight of the blood staining your arm made his expression shift from bewilderment to fury.
I LOVE LOVE LITTLE DETAILS LIKE THIS
âShut up. Just⊠shut up.â He turned back to you, his eyes softening slightly as he took in the sight of your injured arm
he has a heart !!!!
"So this is all about you, then? Your precious ass and how it looks to Ward? Typical Cameron bullshit, only caring about themselves."You don't know what you're talking about," he said, his voice dangerously low. "You think this is easy for me? Keeping you safe, dealing with all this? It's not just about me. It's about keeping everything under control."
one of the things i admire so heavily with your writing is ur ability to write tense dialogues, the way they fight back and forth with words!! like i love it so so much!!
"You're impossible," he hissed, his voice a raw whisper."And youâre a coward," you shot back, your voice equally low but no less fierce.The next moment happened in a blur. Rafeâs grip tightened, and before you could process what was happening, his lips crashed into yours with a ferocity that left you breathless.
LOVE LOVE A HATE KISS
The kiss was rough and desperate, fueled by anger and frustration, a collision of two souls too damaged to recognize the depths of their own pain.And yet, beneath the layers of animosity and resentment, there was a sparkâas if you were both too messed up to understand how much you needed each other.
the poetry!!! shakespeare!!! u can write hamlet but can william write this?!?!?
"You're impossible," he muttered against your lips, the words barely audible over the sound of your heavy breathing."And youâre an asshole,â you shot back, your voice breathless, your body arching into his touch.He pulled back just enough to look at you, the tip of his nose brushing against yours slightly "Drive me fucking crazy.â
i love when they're making out but they find ways to take shots at each other "I hate you," you panted, pouring as much venom into your words as possible. Your thighs tightened around his hips, feeling every inch of him against you. âYour body doesnât,â He replies coldly, each syllable slowly drawn from his throat, "âFucking asshole.ââFucking brat.â
he's such a prick đ i want him in my bed
"Eyes on me,â he growled, his voice rough and commanding. "Let me see you.â
one of the hottest things a man can say to me
âY-Youââ He sighed, pausing, âDonât pull that shit again. Iâll get you out, okay?Â
one of my favorite scenes got me kicking my feet like a school girl (dude u CARE stfu đ)
âWeâre getting out.âYou wanted to believe in him more than anything. In that moment, it was the only thing that mattered, âYeah?"âYeah, pretty Maybank. You and me."âOkay.ââOkay.â
I'M OBSESSED WITH YOUR WORDS OH MY GOD
· · âââââââ ·đ„žÂ· âââââââ · ·
FINAL THOUGHTS | okay okay, let me catch my breath because that smut (their banter!!) was so fucking hot đ„” (why do i use emojis like a middle school boy? anyways) i think what i truly noticed from this fic is how compelling you can make a scene. the way you built transitions so seamlessly through strong descriptions about what's going on (plot wise!) and it's such an admirable skill that i deeply deeply wish i have. especially because the language and vocabulary you use are so clean and expressive without making the audience (like me) feel dumb about not knowing the definition (does that make sense?) also also. as i always point out, i'm obsessed with your build-up dialogues. right before we hit the intense parts, you manage to build up this anticipation and adrenaline from reader and rafe arguing back and forth. and what i appreciate is how you kept the enemies part of enemies to lovers all the way through, only concluding that reader feels complicated near the end. like i love that she didn't fold; she continues to be defiant and her and that brings me to another trait i love about ur writing: ur consistency in your readers. if u plan on making a certain reader rebellious, you keep it to the very end and i love that. oops, this is getting a little too long. anyways, as always, incredible work gigi, i would love to see more of maybank!reader from you especially a second part to their escape (and what it means for them to be back in obx together?? her brother's reaction?? đ« )
THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE - rafe cameron (+18)
request: "a rafe enemies to lovers đ«Ł the reader is jjs sister the whole drama before but then she gets left behind on the ship and rafe ends up comforting her and then yea thatâs all I got you can do whatever else the rest đ" + "def some little smut during the enemies part and a long story"
WARNINGS: maybank!reader; kidnapping; smut!; violence!; rafe is a red flag; guns and blood; p in v; they tell each other to shut the fuck up a lot lmao;
word count: 8k...im sorry
The sun dipped low, painting the Outer Banks marshes in shades of fiery orange. Tensions between the Kooks and the Pogues had hit a fever pitch, and in the middle of it all? Rafe Cameron, the last person you'd want to encounter. Ever.Â
Every run-in with him left a bitter taste in your mouth, lingering for days. It was like he had a knack for getting under your skin. Arrogant, volatile, downright psychotic â Rafe was a walking disaster. Each interaction with him sucked the life out of you. You were convinced that nothing good could ever come from being around him. And yet, there you were, another Maybank, caught in the chaos of the island's most influential family feud.
You knew the risks, but loyalty drove you forward. And now? Well, now you were in deep shit.
Your plan had been reckless, fueled by the desperate need to save Sarah from her deranged family and retrieve Pope's stolen cross. Everything had gone smoothly until chaos erupted, and you found yourself abruptly yanked away from the corridor by a strong grip on your arm, before you could even call out for your brother and Kie. Another hand clamped over your mouth, stifling any attempts to scream. In a blur, you were dragged into a dimly lit cabin, the men's hold on you unyielding. Struggling was futile against his iron grip. He tossed you inside, slamming the door shut and locking it behind him. The gravity of your situation hit hard immediately â you were alone, at the mercy of Ward Cameron. The man who'd silenced anyone who dared oppose him, even going as far as faking his own death, kidnapping his own daughter, and manipulating his son into committing murder.Â
Because in his twisted world, family trumped everything. Even murder.
Your mind raced as you took in your surroundings. The cabin was small and sparsely furnished: a bunk, a tiny porthole high on the wall, and a single chair bolted to the floor. There was a faint hum of the ship's engines, a constant reminder that you were far from land and any chance of immediate rescue. You quickly assessed your options. The door was solid, and you didn't have anything strong enough to force it open. Fuck, fuck fuck.Â
You took a deep breath, trying to steady your nerves. Panic wouldn't help; you needed a plan. But then, like a nightmare come to life, the devil himself stepped into the room, his eyes piercing as they landed on you. The man who had captured you stood behind him, a smug grin on his face.Â
Rafe was visibly surprised to see you, but he quickly concealed it behind a cold, calculating expression. His forehead glistened with sweat, his hair damp and sticking to his temples. His shirt clung to his back, soaked through from the scorching heat, and beads of perspiration trickled down his face. He wiped his brow with a weary hand and his gun gleamed ominously in the dim light.
"Well shit,â Rafe said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. Didn't expect to see ya again so soon pretty Maybank.â
You tried to keep your expression neutral, but your mind was racing with questions. Where were your friends? Were they safe? Was your brother even alive? Before you could ask, Rafe continued, his tone mocking.Â
"Your brother really did a number on you, huh? Left you behind without a second thought. Typical Maybank shit, huh? Always knew you were unreliable."
Son of a bitch. You clenched your fists, fighting to keep your composure. "You're lying," you countered, your voice steady despite the fear gnawing at you, "He wouldn't leave me."
Not unless he was forced to.
Rafe chuckled, a dark, humorless sound. "Believe what you want. They left. Now, you're my problem. Lucky me."
âYouâre lying.â
His eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint as he advanced towards you. You took a step back, but there was nowhere to go. The cold, metal wall pressed against your back, mirroring the chill that had settled in your bones.
"Now, what am I going to do with you?" he mused, tilting his head as if genuinely contemplating your fate. The gun in his hand swung lazily at his side, but you knew better than to think it wasn't ready to be used at a moment's notice. You swallowed hard, your mind frantically searching for a way out of this hellhole. He was unpredictable and volatile; years of snorting cocaine and family trauma did that to some people.Â
But maybe, just maybe, you could reason with him.Â
âRafe, listen. You don't have to do this. Let me go and we can both walk away from this. No one has to get hurt."
Again.Â
His laugh was sharp and bitter. "You think I'm going to let you go just because you asked nicely?" He stepped closer, his breath hot against your face. "Nah. You're going to stay right here until I decide what to do with you.âÂ
You tried to keep your breathing steady, but fear clawed at your chest. The odds were against you, as they had always been your entire life.
"What do you want, Rafe? The cross? We can make a deal."
His eyes narrowed, the amusement fading.Â
"You think this is about money? About that fucking cross? This is about power. Control. And right now...huh, shit, I control you." He leaned in, his voice a deadly whisper. "The cross is mine now. How do you feel about the Bahamas?â
Your top lip curled in disgust, âIâd rather drown.â
His smile twisted into something even darker. âI think youâre worth more alive, at least for now.â
You refused to show him any more fear. âTo you? Or Ward? Do you only get this cocky when daddyâs not around to rein you in?â
Rafeâs expression hardened, and for a moment, you thought youâd pushed him too far. He leaned in close, his eyes cold and unforgiving.Â
âWatch your fucking mouth, Maybank. You donât know anything about my family.â
You laughed bitterly, unable to stop yourself. âYeah, no. You're right. Just that you're dadâs little lapdog, doing his dirty work while he pretends to be some upstanding citizen. And whereâs your mom in all this? Oh! She left.â
The punch came so fast, you didnât see it coming. Pain exploded across your jaw, and you tasted blood. He grabbed your chin, forcing you to look at him. âYou donât fucking talk about her, dirty pogue. Ever.â
Anger took over you like wildfire, burning hotter than the pain. Your jaw throbbed, but the rage was stronger. You wanted to hit him back, to wipe that smug look off his face, to make him feel the hurt he had inflicted on you. Your fists clenched at your sides, every muscle in your body taut with the desire for retribution. The fury in your eyes matched the darkness in his.
You spat blood at his face, glaring up at him defiantly. âYouâre just a puppet. Your sister hates you, your dad uses you, and deep down, you know it. Youâll never be more than his bitch.âÂ
His grip tightened painfully, rough fingers digging into your flesh, lips twitching into a snarl, but you didnât flinch. If you were going down, youâd go down fighting. His eyes flickered with something youâd never seen in him, before he released you, stepping back. âYou think youâre so smart, donât you? So tough.â
âSmarter than you,â you shot back. âAt least I know who I am. What are you, Rafe?â
He stared at you, tongue pressed against his cheek, eyebrows furrowed. Then he laughed, a harsh, grating sound that sent chills down your spine. His hand reached out, and your breath stilled throat tightening as he fiddled with a lock of your hair. Heâd let out another laugh, entirely dismissive of the trepidation youâd felt stuck.
âYouâve got guts, Maybank. It's gonna get you killed.â
You wiped the blood from your mouth, meeting his gaze with unwavering defiance. âIâve survived worse than you.â
And you had. If anything prepared you for violence, drugs, and pain, was living with Luke Maybank your entire life. And maybe, if you didnât hate Rafe with every fiber of your being, after everything heâd done, youâd feel sorry for him. But you didnât, and he sure as hell didn't feel sorry for you.Â
For a moment, the room was silent except for the low hum of the shipâs engines. Then Rafe turned on his heel, motioning to the man by the door. âWatch her. Make sure she doesnât go anywhere.â
âDo I look like fucking Michael Phelps? Where the fuck would I go? Weâre on a ship you crazy bastarâHey! Rafe! Open the fucking door!âÂ
The door slammed shut behind him, the sound echoing through the small, dimly lit cabin. You listened to his footsteps fade away, feeling a sense of relief and dread settle in your chest. What the fuck had you gotten yourself into? They could kill you, dispose your body in the ocean and no would give a single fuck. No one would think youâd gone missing, because youâre a Maybank and thatâs what your kind of people did, apparently. Your brother would probably assume youâre dead, heâd try to get justice and fail in the end, because the rich always won.
The musty air of the cabin felt oppressive as you turned away from the small porthole, where the bright sun and endless expanse of blue ocean taunted you from beyond. Days had melded into one another, each marked only by the arrival of meals and the sporadic presence of Rafe. You had hoped for some sense of clarity, some hint of what your future held, but his visits offered nothing but insults and foreboding silence.
You paced the small room, your mind racing with the possibilities of what they had planned for you. The guard remained a silent sentinel, a constant reminder that escape was not an option. But then, the cabin door creaked open again, and you tensed as Ward Cameron stepped in, his presence commanding immediate attention.Â
He gave a nod to the guard, who stepped out, leaving you alone with the man who held your fate in his hands. A fucking lunatic with enough means to play for all the dramatics he enjoyed. Great.
"Get comfortable," Ward said, his voice smooth but carrying an edge that set your nerves on edge. "We're almost there."
"Almost where?" you asked, trying to keep your voice steady.
"The Bahamas," he replied, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "A little slice of paradise, if you will."
"And what happens then?" you pressed, needing to know more.
Ward studied you for a moment, as if weighing how much to reveal. âKeep out of sight, stay quiet. Rafe and I have some business to attend to, and we can't afford any distractions."
"And if I refuse?" you challenged, though you knew the answer.
Ward's smile widened, but there was no warmth in it. "Let's not be stupid, sweetheart. You're here because you know too much. Refusing isn't an option. Cooperation, howeverâŠâ
A chill ran down your spine at his words. The stakes were clear, and you realized that your only chance was to play along, at least until you could figure out a way to escape this nightmare.
The rest of the day passed in a tense haze. Eventually, you felt the ship slow, the engines quieting as you approached your destination. When the door opened again, Rafe was there, his expression unreadable.
"Time to go," he said simply, motioning for you to follow, "Move."
You stepped out onto the deck, the warm, salty breeze hitting your face as you looked around. The sight of the lush, tropical landscape did little to ease your anxiety. You were led to a smaller boat, and soon you were speeding towards a secluded island, the main landmass of the Bahamas visible in the distance. This was a world away from the familiar streets and faces of The Cut. It was straight out of a postcard. Something you and JJ would fantasize about while high of your asses and writing bucklists.Â
God, JJ. You only hoped he made it. Youâd never gone a day without each other before you were dragged into this mess last summer. It wasnât fair. You only wanted enough money to get by, an easy fix to get everything sorted, finish college, ship your dad somewhere far away from you two. But Wardâs greedy ass had to ruin everything for you.Â
As the boat neared the shore, you couldn't shake the feeling of impending doom. The island loomed closer, its pristine beaches and swaying palm trees offering a stark contrast to the danger that lurked just beneath the surface.
Rafeâs hand gripped your arm, his grasp tight and unyielding as he led you onto the sandy beach. Ward followed close behind, his expression unreadable as he surveyed the scene before him.
"This way," he said, his voice cutting through the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. You followed obediently, your mind racing with possibilities. Escape seemed unlikely, but you clung to the slim hope that you could find a way out of this mess. As you walked, you couldn't help but wonder what awaited you on this remote island.
The path led deeper into the heart of the island, the dense foliage casting long shadows as the sun began to set. You could feel the weight of Ward and Rafe's gazes on you, their presence a constant reminder of the mess you were in.
Finally, you reached a clearing, and your heart sank as you saw what awaited you. A small house. In the middle of nowhere. Oh god, you were a dead woman.Â
âThis will be your home for the time being," Ward said, his voice cold and unfeeling, as if he was offering you a vacation rental and not kidnapping you. You wanted to protest, to demand answers, but you knew it was futile, there was a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, it practically swallow you whole.Â
âMy son will be keeping you company, donât get too excited.âÂ
The way Rafeâs head snapped in his fatherâs direction told you more than what you needed to know. Once again, daddy dearest was calling the shots without taking his opinion into consideration. Wardâs casual cruelty was suffocating, a stark reminder of the power he wielded over everyone. As he turned to leave, leaving no space of negotiations or pleadings, Rafeâs eyes bored into yours. No questions asked, only blind devotion to his father.Â
The door slammed shut, leaving you alone with Rafe once more. He looked at you, resentment playing across his face and something inside you urged you to fight.Â
âIâm not going to make this easy for you," you said, your voice a low growl, âIâm not dying here. Not with you.âÂ
Rafe chuckled, greasy bangs moving as he shook his head, âYou really think you have a choice here?â He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming in the confined space, âYou think youâre special? Nah, Maybank. Heâll get rid of you eventually, donât worry.â
âExactly. He will, not you. You donât have any control either and I think you hate being here as much as I do. That shit makes us both prisoners.â
He blinked, momentarily thrown off guard by your words, âStay out my fucking way or Iâll kill you myself.â
You were sure he wouldn't, only if Ward asked him to. Heâd fucked up enough before, when he accidentally shot Sarah and didnât look the slightest bit apologetic. You know he wouldnât do it again, not if he wanted to keep his head on his shoulder and his trust fund. Ward Cameron hated slips ups, hated even more the monster he raised, but he sure came in handy when he needed him.Â
Rafeâs words hung in the air like a noose, but you refused to let them tighten around your neck. "Empty threats," you shot back, squaring your shoulders. "I've dealt with bigger monsters than you, Rafe."
For a moment, a flicker of doubt passed through his blue eyes. They were bloodshot red, perhaps from the lack of sleep or maybe because he was high off his mind, you didnât care to ask. But just as quickly, his usual sneer returned. "Enjoy your stay, Maybank.â
With that, he turned and left the room. Him and the stupid slamming of doors. You were alone again, your pulse racing but your resolve intact. You had to get out of here. You knew it wouldn't be easy, but you were a Maybankâsurvival was in your blood. You took stock of your surroundings once more, this time with a sharper eye. The walls were thin, the windows barred, but there had to be some weakness, some way to exploit the situation. You ran your fingers along the seams of the walls, looking for anything that might give. Your mind raced through every piece of advice JJ had ever given you about breaking and entering. Youâd done a lot of that over the years, and while most people thought you pogues were simply criminals, they never cared enough to ask why you and your brother spent so much time in and out of the sheriffâs department.Â
So, what if two dirty, no-good kids were barely hanging on for dear life? No one gave a shit.Â
Weeks blurred into each other, each one marked by the same routine. Rafe's visits, Ward's looming threats, and the endless search for an opportunity to escape. You watched Rafe carefully, noting his every move, his every interaction with Ward. You noticed the way Ward belittled him, treating him more like a tool than a son. It was a toxic dynamic, one that made you wonder if Rafe was as much a victim as you were. Youâd seen bits and pieces before, but Sarah had described Ward as some sort of saint up until recently. Rafe on the other hand? Their dynamic was so different from what you were used to. You and JJ were like two peas in a pod, youâd die for him and you know he would do the same, no questions asked. If there was one good thing in your life, it was your brother.Â
You couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for Rafe, despite everything he'd done. He was a product of his environment, molded by a father who saw him as nothing more than a means to an end.Â
You saw the cracks in his armor, the moments of doubt and vulnerability. The way his hands would shake every time Ward raised his voice, the way he would bite his nails to hide the embarrassment booming in his cheeks. How he never walked into his fatherâs space or any other room without announcing his presence. It gave you whiplash.Â
You began to argue less with him, your animosity slowly giving way to a grudging understanding. You hated feeling soâŠforgiving. This boy had done unspeakable things to you and your friends, to your familyâŠand there you were. Feeling sorry for him like you didnât know better.Â
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the small house, Rafe brought you dinner. He placed the plate on the table, his movements tense, his expression unusually subdued. Strangely so, youâd memorized that expression. You didnât even have to ask to understand what had gotten under his skin. You watched him for a moment before speaking.
"Why do you let him treat you like that?" you asked, your voice softer than usual. You didnât understand why you did it. You regretted the words the moment they came out of your lips, but there was something inside itching you to ask.Â
Rafe's eyes snapped to yours, rage and something elseâpainâflashing in them. "What the hell do you know about it?" he snapped, but there was less bite in his words.Â
At this point he just sounded tired.Â
"I understand,â you replied, thinking of your own father. "I know what it's like to want to prove yourself, to be more than what they think you are."
Rafe's jaw clenched, his eyes dropping to the floor. For a moment, he looked lost, like a boy searching for something he could never find. "You don't know shit," he muttered, but there was no conviction in his voice.
"I know enough," you said quietly. "You don't have to keep doing this. You don't have to be his puppet."
He laughed bitterly, shaking his head. "You think it's that simple?"
"Maybe not. But you can choose to be better than him. You can choose to stop this.â
Rafe looked at you, really looked at you, for the first time. It was borderline unnerving. The weight of his stare. The way your stomach flip-flops under his attention.Â
âShut the fuck up and eat, Maybank."
But beneath it all, there was something else. Something youâd seen before, when you looked at yourself in the mirror after you took the biggest beating of your life and Luke finally got thrown into jail: hope.Â
He didn't say anything, just turned and walked out, leaving you alone.Â
Again.Â
The days continued to pass, but something had shifted. Rafe was less hostile, more contemplative. He didn't treat you as roughly, didn't hurl as many insults. It was a small change, but it was there. And you began to see a way out, not just for yourself, but for Rafe too. You knew what he did, knew what he was capable of, but no one deserved to rot in hell with someone like Ward. You needed to bide your time, to wait for the right moment. And when that moment came, you had to be ready to act.Â
Another day began with the same oppressive heat. The sun had just started to rise, casting a golden hue over the island. You were in the small kitchen of the house, preparing a meager breakfast from the limited supplies you had. The routine had become almost mechanical, a way to keep your mind occupied and stave off the rising panic.
Rafe entered the kitchen, eyes barely open as he wiped the sleep away. He poured himself a glass of whiskey, the sound of the liquid hitting the glass breaking the silence. He stood with his back to you, staring out the window.Â
âWhatâs Luke like?â
You froze, your hands pausing mid-motion. It was an unexpected question, one that cut deep and made you want to hurl on the spot even though you hadnât had anything to eat yet.Â
âWhy do you want to know?" you asked cautiously, trying to keep your voice steady.
Rafe shrugged, still not turning to face you. "Just curious. You Maybanks are a tight bunch, right? So what's he like?"
Tight bunchâŠthat was one way to put it.Â
You took a deep breath, trying to decide how much to reveal. "Heâs a drunk, a thief. But he's still my dad."
He finally turned to look at you, his eyes narrowing. "So why do you stick around? Why not just leave him?"
You knew what he was trying to do, giving you a taste of your own medicine. You couldnât blame him.Â
You met his gaze, the raw honesty of your answer surprising even you. "Because he's family. And sometimes, family is all you have. Even when theyâre terrible, even when they hurt you, sometimes you canât just walk away."
Rafe seemed to consider this, his expression unreadable. "Family's supposed to be everything, right?" His voice carried a bitter edge, hinting at his own unresolved conflicts.
"That's what they say," you replied quietly.
He took another sip of his whiskey, his eyes never leaving yours. "Must be tough, having a dad like that."
Tough? Itâs heartbreaking. Knowing that the one person who was supposed to love you, cherish you and protect you for life never gave a single fuck about his kids? Yeah, sure itâs âtoughâ
You nodded, a sad smile playing on your lips. "Guess we have that in common.â
Rafe looked away, his jaw tightening. "Yeah, we do." He set his glass down with a heavy thud, the sound resonating in the small kitchen.
For a moment, the two of you stood in silence, but then he took a deep breath, his shoulders sagging slightly. "I get it," he said quietly. "More than you know."
You watched him, the way his fingers ran along the rim of the glass. "Then why do you keep doing this? You donât have to."
His eyes blazed with anger. âIt's not that simple," he snapped. "You think I have a choice? I killed someone. For him.âÂ
It was the first time he had said those words out loud. And it made him sick to his stomach. That heâd been scared and high enough to do something so reckless, just so they wouldnât take away his dad.Â
"We always have a choice," you countered, your voice firm. "Maybe not the best ones, but we can always choose to be better."
He stared at you for a long moment, his expression a tumult of emotions. Then he shook his head, turning away. "You don't know anything," he muttered, but there was less conviction in his words than before.
"I know enough," you said softly, watching his retreating back. "And so do you."
He paused at the doorway, his hand gripping the frame tightly. Without turning around, he spoke, his voice low and strained. "I'll see you later."
As he left, the kitchen felt colder, but you knew you had reached him, even if just a little. And that gave you hope.
After that, Rafeâs visits were less frequent, and when he did come by, there was an uneasy tension between you both. You couldn't tell if it was the weight of your conversations or the sheer exhaustion of being trapped in this toxic cycle. Still, every interaction chipped away at the walls he'd built around himself, revealing glimpses of the person he might have been, had his life taken a different path.
Tonight, the air was still, the only sound was the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. You had been biding your time, watching for the perfect moment to make your escape. The house was quiet, Ward was gone and you hadnât seen Rafe in two days. By now, you knew how the guards outside fell asleep before 2am like clockwork.Â
You could it.Â
This was your chance, and you couldn't afford to waste it.
You moved silently, slipping out of the small bedroom and into the hallway. Every creak of the wooden floorboards seemed to echo in the stillness, and you held your breath, praying you wouldn't be caught. The front door loomed ahead, your path to freedom. Your heart raced as you slowly turned the handle, wincing at the faint click that accompanied the action.
The night air hit you like a wave as you stepped outside, the cool breeze a stark contrast to the oppressive heat that had been your constant companion. You glanced around, ensuring the coast was clear, then made your way towards the small boat moored at the edge of the beach. The plan was simple: get to the boat, start the engine, and head for the main island where you could find help.
You kept low, moving quickly but cautiously, every step bringing you closer to your goal. The boat was within reach when a noise behind you made your blood run cold.Â
The crunch of gravel underfoot was unmistakable. You turned sharply, and in the dim moonlight, the silhouette of one of the guards emerged from the shadows. The asshole whoâd gotten you here in the first place. He was closer than you had anticipated. Your heart pounded, adrenaline surging through your veins as you broke into a sprint, abandoning stealth for speed.
"Stop!" the guard shouted, his voice carrying across the trees. You didn't dare look back, your eyes locked on the boat. A sharp crack split the nightâa gunshot. You felt a searing pain in your arm, but you couldn't stop. You pushed through the pain, your goal now just a few yards away.
Another gunshot rang out, but you were too focused to determine where it landed. You reached the boat, hands trembling as you fumbled with the ropes. The pain in your arm intensified, but you forced yourself to keep moving. Suddenly, a heavy hand grabbed your shoulder, spinning you around. You struggled, kicking and thrashing, but he was stronger. He pulled you to the ground, pinning you down as he radioed for backup.
"Got her," he said into the radio, his breath hot against your ear. You tried to wriggle free, but his grip tightened. Moments later, two more guards arrived, hauling you to your feet and dragging you back towards the house.
Your mind raced the sting in your arm a painful reminder of your failed attempt. As they pulled you inside, the walls seemed to close in around you, your brief taste of freedom slipping away.
Moments felt like hours as you sat in the chair, the pain in your arm throbbing with each heartbeat. The quiet murmurs of the guards outside were interrupted by the heavy, hurried footsteps of someone approaching. The door flew open, and there stood Rafe, disheveled and wild-eyed, a gun clutched tightly in his hand.
âWhat the fuck is going on?â he barked, his voice a volatile mix of anger and confusion. His gaze scanned the room, landing on you.Â
The sight of the blood staining your arm made his expression shift from bewilderment to fury.
He stormed towards you, his eyes blazing. âWhat happened?â he demanded, his voice low but dangerous. Before you could answer, he whirled around to face the guards who had re-entered the room. âAre you fucking kidding me?â Rafe shouted, waving his gun erratically. âSheâs bleeding! I try to sleep in peace and this is what I come back to?â
The guards exchanged nervous glances, shifting uncomfortably under Rafeâs glare. âShe was trying to escape, Mr. Cameron,â one of them stammered. âWe had to stop her.â
His expression twisted with rage. âSo you fucking shot her?â His voice dripped with incredulity and disdain. âDo you even understand what youâve done? My father wants her in once piece.â
The guard who had caught you tried to explain, but Rafe cut him off. âShut up. Just... shut up.â He turned back to you, his eyes softening slightly as he took in the sight of your injured arm. Or maybe the pain was making you delirious.
 âWe need to get that cleaned up,â he muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. Without another word, he holstered his gun and gently took your uninjured arm, pulling you to your feet. The guards looked on, unsure of what to do or say.Â
Rafe shot them a deadly look. âGet out,â he snapped. âBefore I shoot you bitches myself.â
Once Wardâs men had left, Rafe's demeanor changed. His concern, which had briefly softened his striking features, hardened back into anger. He ran a hand through his long hair, pacing the small bathroom before finally stopping in front of you. His eyes were intense, burning with frustration.
He sneered at you, his voice dripping with disappointment and exasperation, "I thought you had some brains in that pretty little head of yours," he spat out, his frustration palpable. "What were you even thinking? Do you realize how close you came to getting yourself killed?"
You tried to speak, to defend yourself, but he didn't give you the chance. His words came fast, each one like a dagger aimed at my heart. "You could've died out there! A bullet barely missed youâdo you even understand how lucky you are?"
His fists clenched at his sides, his eyes burning into yours. "I just don't get it. Do you think you're invincible? Because you're not. You're just..." He stopped himself, taking a deep breath as if trying to regain control of his temper. "You're just reckless," he continued, his voice quieter but still seething with anger. "You didnât think about the consequences, about what it would do to..."
He trailed off, his attention faltering for a moment before snapping back to you. You could see the conflict in his eyes, the battle between knocking you out cold and something elseâmaybe concern, maybe fear.
"Don't act like you give a shit about me," you called after him, your voice trembling with both pain and defiance.
He stopped in his tracks, his back stiffening for a moment before slowly turning to face you. The fury in his eyes was matched only by the bitterness in your own. "I don't," he retorted, his tone icy. "But my ass is on the line too. You think Ward won't come down on me if something happens to you?"
You stood up, despite the throbbing pain in your arm, facing him head-on. "So this is all about you, then? Your precious ass and how it looks to Ward? Typical Cameron bullshit, only caring about themselves."
Rafe's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenching. "You don't know what you're talking about," he said, his voice dangerously low. "You think this is easy for me? Keeping you safe, dealing with all this? It's not just about me. It's about keeping everything under control."
You scoff through your nose "Here we go again. Control? You think dragging me back here, shooting at me, is control? It's chaos, Rafe. You're just as trapped as I am, and you can't stand it."
His face twisted showcasing his wrath, and he took a step towards you, closing the distance. "Shut up!â he growled. "You donât understand the pressure I'm under. The expectations, the demands. I didnât ask for any of this."
"And neither did I," you shot back, a strict finger aimed at his face in warning, âSo shut the fuck up.â
He took another step towards you, his face inches from yours, his breath hot and ragged.
"You have no idea what you're talking about," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "You think this is just about me? It's about keeping everything from falling apart. It's aboutâ"
Before he could finish, you grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him even closer, your faces almost touching. "I donât care about your excuses, Rafe. I donât care about your pressures or your fucking control. All I know is Iâm not staying here.â
The look he gave you was filled with enough ire to have a hint of satisfaction sparking in your chest, the hollow beneath his dark brows deepening as his classical features twisted into an expression of silent hatred. His breath came in short, sharp bursts. His hands came up, gripping your waist, not gently but not roughly either, as if he couldnât decide whether to push you away or pull you closer.
"You're impossible," he hissed, his voice a raw whisper.
"And youâre a coward," you shot back, your voice equally low but no less fierce.
The next moment happened in a blur. Rafeâs grip tightened, and before you could process what was happening, his lips crashed into yours with a ferocity that left you breathless. His mouth was demanding, almost punishing, and you responded, your hands fisting in his shirt, pulling him closer even as you wanted to push him away.
The kiss was rough and desperate, fueled by anger and frustration, a collision of two souls too damaged to recognize the depths of their own pain. And yet, beneath the layers of animosity and resentment, there was a sparkâas if you were both too messed up to understand how much you needed each other. Each fingertip left an imprint, a silent declaration of the strength he was restraining. It was like he was fighting to contain this force within him, to keep it from overwhelming you both.Â
If someone told you youâd be kissing Rafe fucking Cameron of all people just a month ago, youâd think they were crazy. And yetâŠÂ All you wanted were his hands on your body, his warm skin against your own.
Oh his hands.
They roamed slowly yet purposefully over your lower back, over your waist. You breathed out a sigh of relief, taking the collar of his shirt in both your hands as you pulled him closer, relishing in his warmth. He smelled like whiskey and cigarettes.Â
He pulled away slowly, your lips the last to part, and blinked down at you. You watched him lick his bottom lip, taking in the sight of you.
ââYouâre bleedingââ
âShut the fuck up.â
His eyes flared with renewed anger, but also with something elseâsomething darker, more primal. Your words were like a match to gasoline. He didn't respond verbally; instead, he took a half step back before swooping you into his arms, lifting you effortlessly.
With a swift, decisive motion, Rafe carried you to the dining table, and you barely had time to register the cool wood against your back before he was on you again, his body pressing down on yours with a desperation that matched your own. There was no tenderness there, only raw need and a desire to consume. He pried your lips apart again, his tongue sweeping in as he kissed you deeply, his mouth moving invasively over yours. His fingers gripped your jaw with a vice-like hold. A strange sensation fluttered beneath your skin, and you wrapped your legs around his hips, closing the distance between your bodies as he pressed flush against your center.
His hands moved with such intent, slipping under your shirt, his fingers tracing every curve with a delicious blend of roughness and urgency. You reciprocated eagerly, your own hands tangling in his hair, urging him closer as your kiss deepened. Everything around you blurred as the room spun, his warmth against you making you breathless, his taste lingering on your lips, intoxicating and irresistible.
You tugged at his shirt, fingers fumbling with the buttons because you just couldn't wait. He let out that deep, sexy growl that made a shiver run down your spine. His hands were all over you, touching your skin and leaving fiery trails wherever they went. It felt like he was trying to memorize every inch of you, wanting to claim you in a way that words could never capture.
"You're impossible," he muttered against your lips, the words barely audible over the sound of your heavy breathing. He leaned down closer to your collarbone, to catch the scent on your skin, and he couldn't tell if you were amused or annoyed from the way your cheeks rounded as you narrowed your eyes at him.
"And youâre an asshole,â you shot back, your voice breathless, your body arching into his touch.
He pulled back just enough to look at you, the tip of his nose brushing against yours slightly "Drive me fucking crazy.â
"Good," you replied, your fingers tightening in his hair, pulling him down again. You could feel the tension in his body, the way he was holding back, trying to maintain some semblance of control. But you didn't want control. You wanted to lose yourself in this moment, to forget everything you'd been trough and just feel.
Rafe seemed to sense this, his hands becoming more insistent, his touch more possessive. He lifted you slightly, positioning you better on the table, his body slotting perfectly between your legs. The friction was exquisite, a delicious tease that left you craving more.
"Rafe," you breathed, and he almost fell to his knees at the soft whimper that left your lips when he couldnât help but jerk his hips forward. He responded instantly, his hands gripping your hips, pulling you closer as he kissed you with a fervor that left you dizzy. The table creaked under your combined weight, but neither of you cared. Your hand grabbed his forearm, over the veins strained from his grip on you, your nails sinking into the skin exposed.
You broke the kiss, gasping for air, your eyes locking with his. There was a wildness there, a reflection of the storm inside you. You reached up, tracing his jaw with your fingers, feeling the stubble beneath your touch as his mouth, hot and demanding, left a trail of fire in its wake on your neck. A noise of pleasure slipped from your mouth as he palmed at your breast, thumb grazing across your nipple as his teeth grazed your collarbone, kissing down, littering your skin bite marks.
"I hate you," you panted, pouring as much venom into your words as possible. Your thighs tightened around his hips, feeling every inch of him against you.Â
âYour body doesnât,â He replies coldly, each syllable slowly drawn from his throat, "
âFucking asshole.â
âFucking brat.â
You opened your mouth to hiss something at him, to fight back, show him that you were the one in charge, but the intention died the moment Rafe cupped you through your shorts. A pathetic excuse of shorts due to the heat. Heat bloomed in your stomach, melting into a torrent want that flooded your skin and left you breathless. His determined blue eyes pierced into yours, watching as he pressed the heel of his palm against the apex of your thighs, his middle finger tracing your entrance and applying light pressure to the sensitive dip between your legs.
âCat got your tongue, pretty?â He asked, lips brushing over your mouth, loose bangs brushing against your brow âThought you had more fire in you.â he rasped coldly, moving your shorts and underwear out of the way and your lips parted on a sharp inhale as you felt him touch you for the first time, âYeah, thought so.âÂ
Every nerve ending seemed to come alive under his hands, and the room around you blurred into insignificance. All that mattered was the man in front of you, his relentless grip on your senses, his unwavering control over your body.
"God, I hate you," you whispered again, the words almost a prayer, a futile attempt to cling to the anger that had fueled you for so long. But even as you said it, you knew it was a lie. You hated how much you needed him, how much you craved his touch, his dominance. Perhaps youâd been locked away from society for too long. That was the only plausible reason for you to let Rafe Cameron touch you.
Rafe smirked, a dark, satisfied gleam in his eyes. "No, you donât.âÂ
You did. At least you used to, everythingâs confusing now.
He teased you, his touch light and teasing, drawing out your frustration, your need. "Tell me what you want," he murmured against your lips, his voice a seductive growl that made your heart race.
You bit back a whimper, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing you beg. But the need was overwhelming, a fierce ache that demanded release.Â
âFuck you," you spat, your defiance crumbling under the weight of your desire.
He chuckled darkly, his fingers finally slipping inside you, curling and stroking in a way that made your hips buck against his hand. "That's right," he whispered, his breath hot against your ear. "Let me hear you."
A broken moan escaped your lips, and you arched into his touch, your body writhing with need. His fingers moved expertly, finding all the right spots, driving you near the edge with a skill that left you breathless. Every touch, every stroke was designed to push you closer to the brink, to break you down until you were nothing but a trembling, pleading mess.
"Rafe, please," you finally gasped, the words ripped from your throat by the overwhelming pleasure. "Please, I need you."
His smirk widened, and he pulled his fingers away, making you whimper in frustration. He didn't make you wait long, though. With swift, practiced movements, he freed himself from his pants, the sight of him hard and ready making your mouth water.Â
Without a word, he positioned himself between your legs, the head of his pretty cock teasing your entrance. "You ready for me?" he asked, his voice a rough whisper that made your heart skip a beat.Â
You nodded, your eyes locking with his, the intensity of the moment almost too much to bear. "Yes," you breathed, your voice trembling with anticipation. "Please, Rafe."
He didn't need any further encouragement. With a single, powerful thrust, he buried himself inside you. The sensation was overwhelming, a perfect blend of pain and pleasure that made you cry out. Your back arched involuntarily, your lips parting as he entered you, filling you completely in a way you had never imagined.
He rolled his hips firmly against yours, and your head tipped back as his cock rubs perfectly against you. Youâd never felt so full. He didnât give you a moment to catch your breath. After another firm roll of his hips, testing you out, figuring out his rhythm. His movements were hard and relentless, pounding into you, knocking the breath from your lungs with each forceful thrust, barely giving you time to adjust.Â
You clung to him, your nails digging into his muscular back, your body moving in perfect rhythm with his. The table creaked and groaned beneath you, but you didn't care. All that mattered was the man above you, his relentless drive, his unwavering control. His hands gripped your hips, pulling you closer, deeper, his thrusts becoming more erratic, more desperate. You could feel him losing control, his need matching your own.Â
Your eyes squeezed shut, blocking him out so you could pretend you werenât stupid enough to let the man that ruined your life fuck the living hell out of you.
"Eyes on me,â he growled, his voice rough and commanding. "Let me see you.â
Even though you really wanted to shut him out, you just couldnât fight the crazy pull he had over you. His voice was like a force of nature. You opened your eyes and locked onto his intense gaze. Seeing him above you, his face twisted with raw need and determination sent chills down your spine. His eyes were locked onto yours, filled with this dark, unyielding intensity that left you totally breathless.Â
âGood girl,â he murmured, his voice dripping with approval and something deeper, something that made your heart race even more. It made you want to run for the hills, "FuckiâOh, fuck"
With each thrust, he drove you closer to the edge, your body responding to him in ways you couldnât control. The pleasure was overwhelming, a torrent of sensations that left you gasping, moaning, begging for more. His name slipped from your lips in a broken, desperate plea, and he answered with a renewed vigor, his movements becoming more frenzied, more primal.
"Fuck," he growled, his voice rough and strained. "You're so tight... feels so fucking good."
You could barely form coherent thoughts, let alone words. Your entire world had narrowed to this moment, to the feel of him inside you, to the overwhelming pleasure that consumed you. Your body arched beneath him, your nails digging into his skin, leaving marks that would undoubtedly linger.
"Rafe," you whimpered, the sound barely more than a breath. "I'm... I can't..."
He understood. His pace quickened, his thrusts becoming almost brutal in their intensity. "Come for me," he commanded his voice a raw whisper that sent shivers down your spine. "Let go."
His words pushed you over the edge, and you came with a scream, your body convulsing around him. The intensity of your release was like nothing you'd ever felt before, a white-hot explosion of pleasure that left you trembling and breathless.
Rafe followed you over the edge, his own release crashing through him with a force that left him shaking. He buried his face in the crook of your neck, his breath hot and ragged against your skin as he rode out his orgasm, his movements slowing until he finally stilled, still buried deep inside you.
For a moment, everything was still, the only sound the ragged breaths but then Rafe lifted his head, his eyes meeting yours, and for a moment, there was something almost tender in his gaze.Â
âY-Youââ He sighed, pausing, âDonât pull that shit again. Iâll get you out, okay?Â
âRafe...â
Before you could process his words, before you could question or argue, his lips were on yours again. Differently this time. Gentle.Â
Devastating almost.Â
âYouâre still bleeding Maybank.â
Rafeâs words snapped you back to reality, the pain in your arm a sharp reminder of your injury. The moment of vulnerability between you evaporated, leaving you with the stark realization of your situation. You pushed at his chest, forcing him to back off slightly, and hissed through clenched teeth, "Then do something about it."
He just stood there, staring at you as if he had never seen you before. As if he was truly seeing you for the first time despite having known you since you were seven, despite all the moments marked by violence and terror. And you hated every second of it because your heart was practically leaping out of your chest. No one had ever looked at you like that before.
And then he simply shook his head, drew closer again, resting his forehead against yours, hands back on your thighs, fingers pressing as if he needed to ensure that you were real, that everything was real.
âWeâre getting out.â
You wanted to believe in him more than anything. In that moment, it was the only thing that mattered, âYeah?"
âYeah, pretty Maybank. You and me."
âOkay.â
âOkay.â

Hi! Do you take requests?
If so, I think a fic bases on this excerpt:
"she can't have her parents walking in again. poor cassandraâŠfinding your daughter with her whole face buried in between a girl's thighs is not the most ideal situation"
of your cailtyn story would be phenomenal đ
If you don't, feel free to ignore this! :)
Let's start by saying Caitlyn knows how to eat pussy and loves doing it :3 babe could have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert. she wouldn't call herself an expert per se, but she's quite proud of her talent.
sure, receiving it feels goodâbut what's better than knowing you're making a girl cum with just your mouth? to cait, absolutely nothing. the moans, the hair-pulling, the thighs clenching against her head ⥠ugh chef's kiss.
( she came untouched a few times from it but you did not hear it from me ok? )
it's usually one the first things she does when you successfully sneak into her room. like a reward for getting through massive place she calls home without anyone noticing.
your back against the bed and legs immediately spread to expose the sight she absolutely adores. god, she could just stare at it forever and it'd still have the same effect in between her own legs. new panties are needed.
she doesn't dive in face-first like an animal the second your clothes are off, even if she does feel like a starved woman. she starts by slowly kissing your thighs and caressing any bit of skin she can, hand sneaking up your abdomen and ribs to massage your breasts a littleâdon't mind it.
âShould I continue?â cocky because she already knows the answer is a breathy âyes, pleaseâ.
oh and she gets way more cocky once she finally starts working on you, soft and slow stripes and twirls with her tongue. nothing fancy yet; she wants to tease a little more.
the second your hips start bucking into her mouth though? girl, grab onto something because she takes the signs IMMEDIATELY.
legs propped up on her shoulder while her hands hold your hips down to keep control of them. the slurping sounds are almost pornographic with how sloppy she's being. no whine coming from you is gonna make her stop any time soon. she's enjoying it waaaay to much already.
if she's feeling nice she will add a finger or two while sucking àčàŁâ curling them just right inside you, not in-and-out like crazy. her tongueâs already lapping at you pretty fast so no need to overwhelm youâŠyet.
she wishes you would look down at her for a sec to see that pretty expression better, but she also understands it's her own fault that your head is thrown back against the bed, clenching around her fingers while pulling at her hair. what a curse to be so good at pleasing girls.
she knew speeding up her movements wasn't a smart thing to do so late at night as soon as the loud whine that escaped your lips reached her ears. obviously louder than the previous ones.
the heavy thump on the door when it opened proved her right.
âCaitlyn.â
of course it had to be her mother out of all people.
cassandra's eyebrows furrowed as she looked away with a small huff, trying to erase the sight from her mind by blinking and observing every detail on the window. she thought caitlyn was trying to sneak out and get involved with stuff she shouldn't like she had done in the past with serious cases or something, not this!
âIt is 3 am; please take your⊠friend out of here.â a dismissive wave of her hand showed that there wasn't much room for arguingânone really because she's already out the door with a low mumble to herself before her daughter could say anything. tomorrow's talk is gonna be awful, that's for sure.
âjust keep quiet some more, then you can go home, alright?â the blue haired girl softly whispered, leaning up and kissing the soft skin on your shoulder to reassure that you're not leaving until you get a few well deserved orgasms, her fingers already going back to rubbing small circles.
she's not gonna let a pretty girl leave her bedroom unsatisfied even if it means getting caught again.

Summary: bonten can't contain their curiosity and invites reader to dinner, Mikey finds he likes his new Omega pack mate
đžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđžđž
Who knew Ran would take such a liking to his brother in law, doting on him and claiming him as the new baby sibling "sorry Rinny~ you got replaced!" Why? Why was (name) so beloved by the eldest?
Well the adorable Omega not only let him sleep in peace but also made him nice and cozy with blankets and even got him ear plugs "he's clearly exhausted, so I set him up a nice comfy napping spot in the guest room" (name) explained while working on his project, focused on getting a good grade "how was work?" (Name) Asked while letting RindĆ pull him into a kiss, whining slightly before being freed "we got a good payout and we're going to dinner tomorrow night"
"Oh that sounds fun!"
"And I have the perfect outfit for you"
(Name) Looked confused while RindĆ watched him connect the dots "I get to meet your friends?"
Friends was a strong word but RindĆ wasn't going to correct his mate who seemed absolutely giddy at the concept "there's rules though" RindĆ said seriously and kissed the Omega gently " you never leave Ran and my sides, you only talk this the people I introduce you to and whatever you do, don't piss off Mikey" (name) nodded quietly, taking in the rules his mate set for him "now show me what you're doin'" RindĆ pulled (name) close, looking to see the work he did "my omegas smart..."
"It's been my dream to pursue this since I was a kid..." (Name) Mumbled, getting comfortable while he continued work "gonna need space for that stuff..." RindĆ teased (name) who hummed before a heat settled in his lower abdomen and his hips twitched "already?" RindĆ had a shit eating grin before pulling (name) into a kiss and pushing him down onto the couch and began kissing (name)s neck.
Four sessions the night before and 3 more before the dinner (name) was dressed in an expensive suit though RindĆ would have loved to see him in a dress, mumbling something about easy acesss but (name) paid him no mind, just happy to meet his mates friends and have delicious food. (Name) Held onto RindĆ while they walked into the expensive restaurant, full of glitz and lights and (name) felt incredibly out of place, before this he was just a broke university student half blooded Omega and now he was linking arms with one of the most notorious people apparently!
Keep calm, keep cool...
You're meeting your mates friends! You got this!
"There's my little in law!" Ran said happily and immediately squished (name)s face "ran we saw each other yesterday" (name)s voice was muffled slightly but the eldest Haitani just sighed dramatically "and what a long twenty four hours it's been!"
"Is this the unicorn?" A voice called out and (name) looked to see a white haired man with the bonten insignia tattooed to the side of his head "ah, Koko! Come meet my little in law!"
(Name) Looked to RindĆ for assurance and the Alpha rubbed his hip, Koko holding a glass of wine "ah... You really picked a looker RindĆ" Koko looked (name) up and down "hello! It's a pleasure to meet you!" (Name) Said happily, a large smile on his face and sunshine practically radiating off him causing Koko to pause for a moment, so accustomed to the succubi in their world. If it wasn't for RindĆs own scent on the little omega, Koko would have assumed human or even an angel "the pleasure is mine, little one" Koko kissed his hand and (name) just stared at the action unsure what to do but RindĆs eyes sharpened at the other alphas teasing and pulled (name) closer.
Walking into the private room, (name) was startled when everyone had horns and tails out, they were all demons? "You can transform as well, the restaurant is owned by us" RindĆ whispered encouragingly to his mate, (name) biting his lip before tentatively revealing his tail and horns, a bit smaller than the average demon but it's to be expected from a half blood.
(Name) Felt a bit overwhelmed in a room full of alphas but the large blond one with a goatee offered him slight reassurance with a soft smile "Mikey and sanzu will be here soon" kakucho said calmly, sipping his drink.
RindĆ watched as (name) made small talk, polite and sweet as he always was while giving kakucho and takeomi his undivided attention through a conversation and the demons weren't used to having conversations with a succubus that didn't involve one riding them... Though (name) had been riding RindĆ only hours prior. "So what side of your family is human?" Koko loved finding information on people, especially sweeties like (name) who were all too willing to spill everything "my sires side!" He said easily "and your dam was a succubus?"
(Name) Nodded, sipping his drink when the doors opened and (name) locked eyes with pure obsidian eyes, before him was another Omega who seemed exhausted "there you are, boss" Ran teased but Mikey just stared at the other Omega in his space curiously, (name) equally locked on before giving a soft chirp to Mikey's satisfaction.
The alphas had no clue what was transpiring between the two, they didn't really understand omegas that well but RindĆ decided not to ask at this point.
"So, what do you do (name)?" Takeomi asked while taking a puff of his cigarette and all eyes were on (name) who grinned "I'm in my third year of university!" He was radiating kindness and an innocence that shouldn't be possible in a demon let alone a succubus "I'm currently learning (study)! I feel like it would help a lot of people and maybe some animals"
How.
How did RindĆ find this adorable creature!
Sanzu didn't care for people who were too nice, they were always hiding something and (name) was no exception to his suspicions but he held back, wanting to figure out the omegas angle. "How'd you two meet?" And now it was RindĆs turn to be suspicious of Sanzu, eyes sharpening at his question "ah... That's a bit... Uh" (name) grew flustered "he wouldn't properly feed from humans and went to steal energy though a kiss and here we are" RindĆ explained quick and simple, hand on (name)s thigh while the food came in, (name)s eyes lighting up at the delicious foods and Mikey tilted his head at the other.
Mikey never showed his omega side, in his life that was dangerous but couldn't help but be curious to the newest Omega in his little pack, the little one immediately deferring to him in a subconscious level.
And anyone in the pack belonged to Mikey, it was just a fact.
"Come here" Mikey said simply and (name) tilted his head with a mouth full of food and stood, completely oblivious to Sanzus grin as thoughts flooded the pink haired man's head of what will happen to the Omega.
Standing before Mikey, the white haired man simply pinched the omegas cheeks with one hand and turned his head 'brothel? Sex trade?' sanzu was giddy "he gets to live with you but he's mine" Mikey said simply, (name) reminded him of someone special...
RindĆ slow blinked but they knew what those words meant, it meant (name) was in Mikey's pack, the boss was still very hesitant with the Omega and would shoot him if he tried anything but (name) was very clearly harmless.
(Name) Made a confused sound but decided that this was just how Mikey made friends, heck yeah friendship.
The dinner continued on and (name) found the company of kakucho and Koko quite pleasant while he ate delicious food.
(Name) Was slumped over into RindĆs lap on the drive home, fast asleep white his tail swished subconsciously while the Alpha played with his (hair/nape) before looking at the omegas neck and frowned.
He needed a collar.
RindĆ would have to work on that.

OKAY FINE YOU HORNY SLUTS
you get smut đđ this is the last time i'm installing on this tho
pairing: dom!billie eilish x sub!fem!reader
summary: part 2 to this fic, which is based off this ramble (idk why this is such a rabbit hole omfg)
warnings: RPF!! donât like, donât read, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING SMUT bear with me đđđ», hickeys, oral, overstimulation, i guess a little bit of cum play??, pet names (mama, ma, sweet girl, baby), strap + strap sucking, aftercare (all r receiving)
word count: 1,757, should take about thirteen and a half minutes to read
listen to: needy by ariana grande
finneas walked back to his room without a second glance. and as soon as the door shut, your girlfriend took the blanket off you. "come here. we're good now."
IT TOOK ONLY a matter of seconds for her to pounce on you. you'd only ever seen her like this a few times before. but every time it happened, you would try your best to ravish the feeling. because when billie was like this, you were getting treated right until you were ruined.
your back lay flush against the fluffy hotel pillows while your girlfriend grabbed your face and kissed you. rough. hard. almost with a force that knocked the wind out of you. oh ya, you were getting fucked.
she didn't stay near your face for long. but instead of reaching for your neck like she usually did, she instead reached for the top of your dress. since it was strapless, she was going to have a relatively easy time getting it off. "arms up."
you commanded to her words, putting your hands up as she pulled the shiny dress over your skin. what she found excited her even more. "no bra? oh, baby, you know what you're doing." the nickname. baby. it rolled off her tongue so well, so sultrly. it gave you goosebumps.
"and your nipples are hard?" accentuating her words, she wrapped her hands around your chest and rubbed the buds over her thumbs. not with any pressure, though. just so you could feel it there. "this is evidence, sweet girl. you found that hot and you know it."
suddenly, you felt a sharp pinch on your right nipple. it made you gasp. she just smirked and leaned down, quickly using her tongue to soothe the pain. you threw your head back as she started to rub your left nipple like previously.
after a while, when she was satisfied, she pulled away and switched nipples. it was like a game to her to see how much you could take. she, at some point, started to suck so hard you swore it would leave marks.
one she felt she had enough, she took her mouth off you. she stuck her tongue out, running a line down your cleavage. she went slowly, her tongue trailing down your body feeling like fire. her tongue quickly dipped in the trench of your belly button before reaching just above your clit.
right as she reached your pussy, she looked up at you. there were no words exchanged, but you could tell what she was asking you. if this was okay. thatâs the thing you loved about your girlfriend. no matter how desperate she was, if you told her to stop, she would. but, as you nodded, her soft gaze got thrown away.
today wasnât a teasing day. hell, barely even a prep day. almost immediately, she was on you like a prisoner eating their final meal.
billie left no mercy as she ate you out. her tongue took on different patterns, too spontaneous with her movement to care.
she seemed to do something new every few seconds. it transitioned from licking up and down your folds to sucking your clit to sliding her tongue down and into your entrance in such a way it made tears form in the corner of your eyes.
you whined and pulled her hair, making her chuckle into you. the action made you seem to fall even harder, the vibrations easing just the right ache.
billie was relentless. it was often she got engulfed in your pussy, not wanting to stop pleasing you until you were begging her not to. but this was different. it was feral the way she was licking up your arousal that was spilling onto her tongue. it was almost like she wanted to completely clean you out, not wanting a single part of you untouched.
once youâd finally announced you were close with a high pitched moan, she didnât even seem as if she heard you. she just kept up, sucking your sensitive bud and rolling her tongue around it.
when you did cum, it was fuzzy. it felt like laying on a cloud. well, only for a bit. until you realized billie was nowhere near done with you, licking up her reward.
â billie, bills! oh my god, bills, i came, i came!â your voice was high pitched as you squirmed, trying to get out of her iron clad grip on your thighs.
for whatever reason, which you didnât expect, she released, making a little âpop!â as if she was just sucking on a lollipop. to her, it was candy either way.
she quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve before taking her pointer finger and sticking it back inside. you jolted, but she quickly took it out before you could whine again.
it was jarring the way she licked your release off her finger. but it was hot. it made you feel warm all over again, wanting her to devour you again and again and again.
billie crawled back up to kiss you lips. you could taste yourself on her tongue, making you reel. she pulled away quickly, a string of saliva connecting you. âiâm gonna get the strap,â she mumbled frantically.
you nodded, not at all complaining. you laid on your back, eagerly waiting as your girlfriend hopped off the bed and toward her suitcase. of course she brought the strap to a different country. of course she did.
you watched with hungry eyes as she undid the buckle on her belt, shimming her pants down to harness the fake dick around her waist.
as she walked back to the bed, she stopped right at the foot of it. you tilted your head in confusion. âcome here, mama, suck on it.â
you obeyed to her request, hopping off the bed and settling on your knees on the floor. you didnât immediately take the whole thing in at once, instead just going for the tip.
you hollowed your cheeks as if billie could feel the thing (which she always swore she could.) âmhm, just like that, baby, just like that.â she gently pushed your head forward, seeing just how far you could take the indigo dildo.
once sheâd decided youâd had enough, she commanded you off. immediately, you got on your back, easing into the pillows.
billie crawled on the bed to get into position. she cupped your face, giving you one more kiss, before grabbing the strap. she ran the tip of the dildo up and down your folds, collecting your slick. âyou ready for it, ma?â she asked as she lined it up with your entrance.
âyes.â she didnât need to be told twice. immediately, she sunk into your pussy, bottoming out. although you had a few different dildos that you two used, this one was the one you used the most. so, it was no surprise how your pussy immediately engulfed the silicone, almost like it for perfectly.
you groaned and threw your head back as billie drew tight circles on your clit with her finger. âjust tell me when i can move,â she spoke in a tone so soft it almost wasnât like she didnât just put 7 inches of silicone inside you.
after a while, you nodded.
billie didnât need to be told twice.
her thrusts started off gentle and calm, moving her hips to only take an inch out and put it back into your waiting hole. the slow speed of these thrusts made it so you could feel everything: the gentle touch of billieâs thighs against yours, the dildo pressing so nicely on your walls.
you were content with this. but, billie wasnât. at some point, it seemed she got bored, as she strung on of your legs over her shoulder and went faster.
the new angle made her be able to penetrate that spot all the way in the back that made you see stars. and with the speed and hardness she was going, the pleasure only multiplied.
âoh, fuck, billie, yaaa, right there,â you encouraged her. she only laughed and nodded in response.
it didnât take long for the sound of skin slapping on skin to take over the room. well, if you could even hear that over your moans. billie was fucking you with a rawness she hadnât shown in a while.
you swore you could feel the strap kissing your cervix with every thrust, making you unable to stop letting out sounds. little âuh, uh, uh, uhâs filled the room every time she thrust.
but, who could blame you? the strap was so deep you swore if you looked down, you could see it peeking through your stomach. but you couldnât even lift your head. the pleasure was too good.
your tits bounced as billie pounded into you, causing her to reach down and take your nipples between her fingers. âoh, you like this?â she teased you. âya, you like me fucking you like this? like you deserve? ya, i know, i know, it just feels so goodâŠâ
the feeling of your hard nipples being played with combined with the damage your girlfriend was doing to your pussy was starting to make you feel overwhelmed. like you were about to fall off the edge.
â billie, shit, i-iâm close,â you said out. âcan i cum? please, can i cum, please please pleaseâŠâ that made her smile.
âyou donât gotta beg me, baby. just let go.â
and let go you did. you slapped a hand over your mouth as your back arched off the bed. white hot was all you could see as billie slowed down, letting you ride out your high.
once you were done and could feel the seepage dripping out of you, you took your hand off your mouth, heavily breathing.
billie leaned down to kiss your lips. she smiled into it before pulling away. âyou doing okay?â she asked. you nodded. âiâm gonna pull out now, okay?â
in a few seconds, the strap was out of you, leaving you clenching around nothing. she quickly undid the harness and threw it somewhere across the room for her to wash later.
she pulled you into your arms and kissed your head, rubbing your back. âyou did so good for me, sweet girl. thank you for letting me do that.â
you hid your face into her neck and spoke. âof course, bills.â
she grinned and kissed your forehead. âokay, you go pee, then iâll run you a shower, ya?â she proposed. you nodded and went to crawl off the bed.
âhey!â she called out one more time. you turned your head back to look at her.
âi love you.â you beamed.
âi love you, too.â

I finally got around to posting the rest of the fic here! It's finished! I've included an a03 link of the whole thing at the end. @schrodingersauthorii gave me an idea for this part in the comments to this very post!
Part 2
The atmosphere of the meet was a lot nicer than he expected. The other students were kind to him, many complementing them on his sports day performance. The team members and Coach Sakuragi were less, well, mean to each other than the team heâd briefly been part of, cheering each on rather than acting sullen when anyone outperformed them. The coach at his old school had always responded to any mistake with a torrent of frustrated criticism that made Natsume tremble in shame. But Sakuragi never acted disappointed or angry. She came off like she was giving friendly suggestions, and she pointed out what they were doing well at lot too. The team responded to her advice eagerly, rather than fearing her.
It was nice, and Natsume almost wished he was the kind of person who could be a part of this. But he knew himself too well. Heâd feel terrible each time he missed out due to being sick or waylaid by yokai. And that would happen a lot. The nicer these people were, the worse heâd feel about letting them down. It didnât matter if they were fine with it, he wouldnât be. And to be honest, even if he liked his teammates, he didnât like thinking about huge crowds watching him, he didnât like the idea of watching other people cry in frustration when he beat them, any of it.
So when Sakuragi asked him if he wanted to do a practice run with the others, he agreed, all while planning to run much slower than usual. Heâd explain to her after that the performance on sports day was a fluke, and he usually wasnât that fast, and there was no way heâd be able to pull it off consistently. Sakuragi would hopefully stop wanting him to join the team, and even if she still asked him, she and the others wouldnât feel bad when he turned her down.
He took a deep breath, as he stood at the starting line, closing his eyes and blocking the gaze of Sakuragi and the other students out. If he didnât imagine a yokai was chasing him, running slower was pretty manageable, and he was experienced enough with doing it in Phys Ed that he knew he could pull it off without looking like he was holding back. It would be fine. Heâd be fine.
He got himself into position, taking off when Coach blasted the whistle. He lagged way behind the others, while doing his best to look like he was really giving his all. It was going pretty well, he thought, until he looped around on the track and saw a yokai directly in his path.
It wasnât a big one, not even coming up to Natsumeâs knee. It was black, so it had blended in well with the track. It was sort of blobby and shapeless in form, like an inkstain, with beady eyes and a wiggly head.
Natsumeâs heart raced and his mouth went dry. It might look small, but he knew better than anyone not to trust a yokaiâs appearance. It could be dangerous. Was it here to get the Book of Friends, or was it trying to do something to the people here? It didnât matter. He had to do something. He couldnât just slow down, that would give it time to attack.
Instead, he vaulted over the creature. His ankle twisted under him when he landed. He fell, knees and hands scraping the ground. He immediately sprang to his feet and ran as fast he could. He had to lead it away from everyone else.
His sneakers pounded on the rubber and intense vibrations raced through him with each step. It felt like his bones were shuddering. Somone was calling his name, but it was muffled and distant, everything was. He has no room in his brain for anything but his goal. I have to protect the people here. I have to protect the Book of Friends. He crossed the finish line and veered into the grass, ready to grab his bag and sprint out of school grounds. But he looked over his shoulder, he saw the blobby yokai hadnât moved after him at all. It had simply flattened and spread out on the ground. Itâs eyes were closed.
Was itâŠtaking a nap?
Relief filled Natsume as he skidded to a stop. Yes, it was sleeping. Its breathing was even, and as sounds came back to him, he could hear some faint snoring. But he also heard something else, which was Coach Sakuragi screaming at him.
âNATSUME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? WHY WOULD YOU RUN ON A SPRAINED ANKLE?â She shouted while running toward him.
Sprained� Natsume looked down and saw his ankle was swelling. Suddenly, intense pain shot through his leg, his ankle folded under him, and he crumpled. Sakuragi caught him under his arms before he could hit the ground. She lifted him up easily.
 Wow, sheâs strong, Natsume thought dazedly. Bet I look pretty pathetic right now. He could see students had gathered around to stare at him, expressions worried or shocked. One girl called âAre you okay??â
âY-yeah,â he said as his mind screamed in humiliation.
Sakuragi could have probably carried him, but thankfully she chose to simply pull his arm over shoulder. âDonât stand on that ankle, keep it raised.â She commanded. She turned to the cluster of team members. âWe need the chairs, the ice bag from the cooler, and the first aid kit. Go get them.â
The studentâs responded quickly, three of them running off.
Soon they all came back with all the supplies, including two folding chairs. Sakuragi eased him into a chair. Natsume couldnât help groaning in pain when a student propped up his leg on the chair in front of him, resting his ankle on a folded towel. Sakuragi quickly cleaned out the minor scrapes on his hands and knees with some medicine.
Natsume hated that he was disrupting the entire track meet and making so many people fuss over him, but he knew protesting would be ungrateful, so he softly thanked the other students instead. They smiled back at him.
Sakuragi placed the ice bag on his ankle. Natsume sighed in relief as the numbing cold broke through the pain.
 Sakuragi bent down to examine his foot. âIt donât think itâs broken, but youâre going to need to check it with a hospital. Itâs badly sprained because of all the weight you put on it. Hopefully you didnât tear the ligament completely.â
âA-a hospital?â Natsumeâs stomach dropped. That was really going to worry Touko and Shigeru. He felt so stupid, putting them through all this because a harmless yokai was taking a nap.
Sakuragi straightened up and clapped her hands. âOkay, this isnât a show, people. Give us some space and get back to practice.â
The team dispersed, and Sakuragi crossed her arms, frowning down at him. Natsume winced, thinking she was going to yell again. Instead, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath. âNatsume.â she said calmly. âI donât understand what you were thinking. This was just a practice run. Your first one, too. Iâve seen students try to run on injuries before, but this wasnât even an actual race!â
Natsumeâs looked at his ankle, which was rapidly turning purple, burning with shame. âIâm sorry,â he mumbled.
âYou donât have to apologize. I just want to know whatâs going on. Why did you run on that ankle?â
âI-I didnât do it on purpose. It was just kind ofâŠinstinct?â Natsume said. He instantly realized that how weird that sounded, and so, apparently, did Sakuragi.
âInstinct?â Her frown deepened and her eyebrows drew together. âYour instinct is to keep running even when youâre hurt?â
âNo, no, itâs not like that, Iâm just used toâ!â He snapped his mouth shut.
What was wrong with him? He was usually better at covering things up. Heâd almost said he was used to having to run while injured. Heâd twisted his ankle running from yokai plenty of times, and at some point heâd learned to just block out the pain until he got to safety. But obviously he couldnât tell the coach that. He desperately searched for another way to end the sentence, but before he could, the coach bent over, looking him directly in the eye.
âNatsume, you looked very frightened when that âinstinctâ kicked in. Like you were being chased down. Are you used to being chased? Is it something that happens a lot?â
Natsumeâs blood froze. Did she know? Why? How? What was going on? His ankle was throbbing so badly now, it was hard to think the haze of pain. His breathing got faster, his ears buzzed⊠He had to say something, anything to throw her offâŠ
 Sakuragi put her hand gently on his shoulder, âNatsume, you can tell me anything. Is it someone who goes to this school? Or even more than one person? Have they been hurting you? I know itâs scary to talk about it, but I promise I can helpââ
Natsumeâs shoulders slumped as relief flooded him. Sheâd was asking if people were chasing him. Obviously sheâd meant people. Â What was wrong with him? Sure, his ankle felt like it was being hit repeatedly with a giant hammer, but that was no excuse to lose his head.
Doing his best to come off as relaxed, he said âOh, Itâs not like that, Sensei, you donât need to worry. People donât chase me at all anymore.â
Sakuragi narrowed her eyes. âAnymore?â
He clearly should just stop talking forever. Maybe heâd sprained his brain along with his ankle.
Yes, heâd been chased by people, of course he had. And not just enthusiastic track coaches. Heâd had to run away from plenty of classmates looking to teach the liar a lesson. Running from bullies was usually a lot easier than running from most yokai though, since people eventually tired out. Heâd only been caught a few times.
At least this slip up didnât put his secret in danger, it just made every inch of him cringe. He didnât want to talk about any of this with her. But he had to make her understand everything was okay. Even if it meant embarrassing himself.
âSensei, ever since I moved here, things have been so much better. People are so kind to me, my friends are amazing, the Fujiwaras are so warm and givingâŠâ He ducked his head, unable to meet her eyes. âI feel like I belong here. Actually belong. Iâm happier than I ever thought I could beâŠ.â
Sakuragi was listening to him intently, and when he trailed off, she smiled at him. âIâm glad to hear that. Sorry for the interrogation.â
She took some bandages out of the first aid kit and started wrapping his ankle with a steady practiced hand. âIt sounds running is really connected to some⊠difficult experiences for you. Iâm a teacher whoâs supposed to look out for you. I shouldnât have pressured you to run. I should have listened and understood your feelings. I apologize.â
âNo no, itâs not your fault Sensei, youâre honestly the nicest track coach Iâve everâ"
But his reassurance was cut off by a shout, âNatsume! What happened?!â
Natsume looked over his shoulder, and saw Nishimura, Tanuma, Taki, Kitamoto and Sasada all coming around the corner of school building
 What the heck are they doing here? His stomach dropped at the expressions of worry on their faces. Nishimura led the pack as they rushed toward him.
âHow did you get hurt already?!â Nishimura exploded the second he was within talking range. âItâs been fifteen minutes since school let out! Fifteen! I bet you were doing some kind of crazy thing again, donât you realize-?â
âNishimura, calm down,â Kitamoto said, smacking his arm. âBut seriously, Natsume, what happened?â
âIâ"
âDid somebody trip you?â Sasada asked, fixing the scattered team members with a hawklike glare while they looked baffled in response. Â âAre there bullies here?â
âNoââ
âItâs not broken, is it?â Nishimura was wincing as he looked at the ankle. âIt looks so swollenââ
âGuys!â Taki cut him off. âWhy donât we stop freaking out and let Natsume get a word in edgewise?â
âWell said. I know youâre worried, give him the chance to explain,â Sakuragi said in a slightly amused tone.
Nishimura, Sasada, and Kitamoro jolted, like they hadnât noticed the teacher before.
âSorry, Sensei,â Sasada said immediately, bowing her head,
âIâm sorry too. I didnât mean to yell at you, Natsume,â Nishimura mumbled.
Tanuma, whoâd been quietly watching, stepped up and put his hand on Natsumeâs shoulder. It was a timid, gentle touch, but Natsume could feel the weight of Tanumaâs concern through it. He smiled reassuringly at him, and then looked at the others.
âI just tripped, guys, thatâs really all. I was doing a practice run and I stumbled and twisted my ankle. Though I, uh, alsoâŠâ He was going to freak them out if he told them heâd kept running on it, and he wasnât sure how heâd explain it, butâ
âHe also bumped it a bit while I was guiding him to his chair,â Sakuragi cut him off, giving him a small smile. âThat one was my fault.â
Natsume blinked at her, shocked sheâd covered for him. She shook her head at him slightly as if to say âJust this onceâ.
âSee, Nishimura?â Kitamoto elbowed him. âYou of all people canât be mad at him for tripping!â
âYeahâŠâ Nishimura said sheepishly.
âNo, Iâm really sorry for worrying you all,â Natsume said, guilt racing through him. âBut, uh, what are you guys even doing here?
âWe wanted to support you. The plan was just to meet you when you were done and walk home together,â Taki said.
âIâm sorry we didnât tell you before,â Tanuma squeezed Natsumeâs shoulder slightly, looking bashful. âYou just seemed kind of stressed about it, and I was a little⊠It was a last minute decision. I was thinking if you wanted to, we could even hang out at my place. I probably overstepped.â
âIt was one of those times his friendsâ kindness and care filled him up so much he thought he would burst. Those times where he wondered how heâd found people like them after all these years. When he ached to give them even a fragment of what theyâre given him.
âNoâŠâ Natsume said, hoping he didnât sound choked up, âNo, I would have liked that, thanks.â
âThatâs really sweet,â Sakuragi said with a grin, resuming with wrapping Natsumeâs ankle. But then her grin dropped, and she looked at Nishimura questioningly. âDoes he get hurt a lot?â
âKind of. Itâs all because heâs reckless, Sensei. He doesnât think things through!â
âA lot of time heâs trying to help someone, though,â Tanuma said hastily. âItâs not his fault, really.â
 âYou always go way too easy on him, Tanuma. But yeah, heâll do things like shove a girl out of the way when a bunch of heavy boxes are falling on her and get conked in the head. Heâs too good a guyâ"
âCome on, youâre embarrassing him,â Taki admonished, which immediately silenced Nishimura.
Sakuragi seemed to relax at this, and she finished up wrapping Natsumeâs ankle. âOkay! Now, can one of you go fetch crutches from the nurseâs office?â Sakuragi took a key out of the first aid box and tossed at Nishimura, who caught it with a startled expression. Kitamoto went with him. Sasada looked around awkwardly, and then did a double take.
âChiyo, what are you doing here?â Sasadaâs hand immediately jumped to her hair, and she started twirling a lock around her finger.
The short-haired girl walked up, wiping her neck with a towel and flashing Sasada a crooked grin. âThe track team lets me practice with them sometimes. Gotta train to beat you next time. What this I hear about you threatening everyone and calling them bullies?â
âI didnâtââ
âOh, now I remember, Natsume, thatâs your friend, no wonder you were all aggro!â Â Chiyo waved at Natsume, who waved awkwardly back. âSorry sheâs so overprotective, man. She means well.â
âYouâcome on!â Sasada grabbed the other girlâs hand and dragged her away. Chiyo looked unreasonably happy about this.
Sakuragi had stepped away to chat with some other students too. Taki squatted next to Natsume and Tanuma leaned closer to him.
âWas there yokai trouble?â Tanuma whispered.
Natsume shook his head. âNot really. I basically overreacted. I saw a little yokai on the track, freaked out because I thought it was dangerous, and tripped. Itâs harmless, though. It was just napping. I feel pretty stupid.â
âDid anyone notice anything?â
âYeah, they noticed I was acting really weird. Especially Coach Sakuragi. SheâsâŠintense.â
âOh, I should have warned you about that,â Taki sighed. âItâs really hard to keep a secret from her, especially if she thinks youâre struggling. Her heartâs in the right place, though.â
Natsume nodded. âI can tell. I feel bad that I worried her. I ended up saying some bizarre things while I was trying to throw her off. I think she thinks Iâm traumatized from my childhood or something now.â
Tanuma cleared his throat and looked away. Taki studied her shoes carefully.
âUh, whatâs wrong?â Natsume asked, trying to figure out if heâs said anything strange.
âNothing,â Taki said quickly. âHey, what does the little yokai look like?â Â She looked off in the wrong direction.
 âOh, uhâŠkind of blob-likeâŠâ he squinted at the sleeping yokai, examining it more closely. âOh wow, I couldnât pick it out before but it has ears actually, Oh, theyâre kind of shaped like cat earsâŠâ
Takis gasped excitedly âIs it cute?â
âUhâŠmaybe ugly cute?â
âThen itâs cute,â Taki said firmly. âI wish I could see it.â
Natsume suddenly realized that it was probably for the best Taki couldnât see yokai, otherwise sheâd be terrorizing every weird looking little monster non-stop.
Tanuma looked around at the team members looping the track, as others chatted and laughed on the sidelines. âWere you having a good time with everyone? You know, before everything happened?â
âYeahâŠit was nice. Everyone was really great. I feel bad I ruined things.â
âYou didnâtâ"
âWeâre back!â Kitamoto and Nishimura arrived carrying the crutches.
A shock of pain went up Natsumeâs leg like lightning when Tanuma and Sakuragi eased him onto his crutches, but he gritted his teeth, refusing to cry out. He couldnât worry everyone even more.
âOkay, youâre good to go now,â Sakuragi said to him. "But make sure your parents to get you checked at the hospital right away. I will be asking Ms. Fujiwara about that our weekly grocery store chats.â
Natsume nodded meekly, filled with dread at the thought of Toukoâs panic and distress. At the same time, he noticed sheâd called the Fujiwaras his parentsâŠnot foster parents or guardiansâŠjust parents. It kind of felt nice. Really nice.
Sasada was still talking with Chiyo, laughing and swatting at her playfully. She noticed that Natsume was up, and reluctantly pulled away, giving Chiyoâs hand a quick squeeze before she left.
Sakuragi smiled as Sasada rejoined the group, observing all of Natsumeâs friends clustered around him. âTake care of him, all right?â
âDonât worry, Sensei, we wonât let anything happen to him,â Nishimura said confidently.
âWeâve got his back!â Kitamoto assured her.
âHe helps us a lot. Itâs the least we can do.â Tanuma chimed in unexpectedly.
âOf course!â Sasada and Taki finished things off.
Natsume stared at the ground, hoping nobody could see the expression on his face. Taki patted him on the back.
âYouâre right, you do have good friends.â Sakuragi ruffled Natsumeâs hair. âDo you need me to get you a ride home? Or can your parents come get you?â
âOh, itâs fine, I can just walk.â
âYouâre seriously going to try to hobble all the way to the Fujiwaras?â Taki asked severely.
âOkay, maybe to the bus stopâŠâ
âThatâs not coming for another hour.â Sasada tapped her watch. âYou canât wait that long.â
âThe Fujiwaras donât have a car, right?â Nishimura said. âMy parents have a car, and Mom should be home. Iâll call her to pick us up.â He pulled out his cellphone, glaring at it. âIf I can ever get service in this stupid townâŠcanât believe I begged for a phone and itâs uselessâŠâ
âNishimura, no, I donât want to drag your Mom into thisâŠâ Natsume said in a panic. âI really can justââ
âNatsume.â Tanuma said quietly but firmly, holding out his arm in front of him before he could hobble away. Natsumeâs voice died in his throat.
âMy Mom would be mad at me if I didnât call her about thisâ Nishimura held his phone high in the air, face screwed up in concentration.
âOh yeah, thatâs right, you get your nosiness from her,â Kitamoto said lightly.
âMan, shut up. Aha! I got some bars!â And just like that, Nishimura was on the phone with his Mom, and Natsume could do nothing to protest it.
Sakuragi laughed and started to turn away. âGreat, Iâll see youââ
âSensei, wait,â Natsume called quickly.
 She stopped, looking at him questioningly.
âI just wanted I wanted to say, I did have fun here. And, well, I donât think I can join the team butâŠwould it be all right if I came here once in a while? Just to practice, or I could help with whatever⊠unless thatâsâŠ"
Sakuragiâs face split into a huge grin. âOf course, Natsume! Just having someone like you to race against is a huge help! But are you sure youâ?â
Natsume nodded. âI want to.â
âWell then, do your best to heal up and weâll look forward to seeing you.â
Nishimura got off the phone. âMom said to wait out front. Weâll head to the bench just outside the entrance.â
Waving goodbye to Sakuragi, Natsumeâs friends flanked him as he slowly made his way around the school building.
âIâm happy for you, Natsume,â Taki said.
âYeah, thatâs cool that youâll have a place to practice!â Kitamoto agreed.
Thanks,â Natsume said. âIâm sorry I ruined the plans to get snacks and hang outâŠbut maybe we could do it another time? Touko would probably be okay with you all coming over.â
âOf course!â
They all busied themselves planning the get-together until they reached the bench out front, though Nishimura was oddly quiet.
After Natsume sat down, his friends gave their well wishes and reminded him to check in with them after the hospital, before dispersing to walk home. Taki caught up with Sasada and as they walked away, Natsume heard her say âSo you and that Chiyo girl, huh? Do I detect some romance?â
âI have no idea what youâre talking about,â Sasada said primly.
âCome on, itâs me. Come over to my place and tell me all about it.
âFiiiine, if I must.â
Natsume laughed slightly. He looked over at Nishimura to see his reaction, but for once in his life, he didnât seem interested in what Taki was doing. He was staring stonily into the distance.
âNishimura, is something wrongâ?â
âIâm sorry, Natsume,â he said abruptly, still not really looking at him.
âHuh? What are you sorry about?â He wondered if Nishimura was still feeling guilty about yelling earlier, and was prepared to reassure him, butâ
âYouâre hurt because of me.â
âWhat? What are you even talking about?â Natsume couldnât help but laugh but stopped when Nishimura glared at him.
âItâs because of me. You donât like  running in front of people, I know that, but then you had to because I screwed up. And when you were talking to the coach, I could tell you were nervous, I could tell you didnât want to go. And instead of returning the favor and helping you, I pushed you to do it anyway.â He put his head in his hands. âIt was such shitty thing to do.â
âNishimura, come on, you didnâtâ
âI did. You were trying to say no, you canât pretend you werenât.â He dragged his hands down his face. âI justâŠgot carried away because you were so cool when you won the race! And youâre kind of down on yourself sometimes,âŠso I thought maybe if you joined the track team, youâd see how amazing what you can do is and people would see youâreâŠugh, it was stupid.â
Natsumeâs cheeks burned. âThatâs.. it sounds like you were really thinking of me, Nishimura, thank youâ"
âNo, donât thank me!â Nishimura said fiercely. âI wasnât looking out for you or your feelings at all, I just decided what I wanted for you without asking you. And God, I didnât even think about injuries!â
Natsume stared at him in bafflement. âWhy would you need to think about injuries? Itâs not like I need special protection. I knew what I was getting into. People get hurt in sports all the time. Itâs normal.â
âNo, itâs different with you.â Nishimura slammed his hands down on knees, red blotches spreading on his face. âBecause when you get hurt, you downplay it or try to hide it, and if you do that in track, it can mess you up for life!â Nishimura was talking faster and faster, the words just pouring out of his mouth. âItâs dangerous because you act like it doesnât matter, like you donât matter, and that you donât get why we all care so much, and I know itâs because youâve been through a lot and I donât want to pry, but it makes me soââ
He stopped short, blanching. âOh shit. I didnât mean to say all that. U-uh, sorry, just forget it, Itâs none of my businessâŠâ
A lump formed in Natsumeâs throat as shame welled up, hot and bitter on his tongue. âNo, Iâm sorry, Nishimura,â he said hoarsely. âI didnât realize you were thinking all that, that you were worried. I never wanted toââ
âNatsume, no, I wasnât trying to make you feel bad. I know itâs not on purpose, I know itâs not your fault.â Nishimura pinched the bridge of his nose. âThis is about me saying sorry, not you. I really am sorry. And I know you told Sakuragi you wanted to come back once in a while because you didnât want to disappoint her, but you donât have to go back there, Iâll talk to herââ
âYou donât have to talk to her.â Natsume swallowed his shame for now, determined to set things straight. âI liked the team. I really do want to come back.â
âYou donât have to pretend, I told you, donât lie if you donât have toââ
âNishimura,â Natsume interjected gently, putting his hand on the other boyâs shoulder. Nishimura finally looked over at him, eyes downcast. âIt made me really happy. When we won, and everyone was cheering, and I saw how excited you wereâŠI donât know. Running is just something I do sometimes, and I donât think itâs special or particularly like it. But being able to help you was the first time I felt like it was somethingâŠmore.â More than survival. More than something Iâm forced to do.
âReallyâŠ?â Nishimura hesitated, looking disbelieving.
âReally. And I really am glad I came here. I enjoyed it, you know, until I tripped. But even then, everyone was nice and helped me. It made me want to come back.â
Nishimura stared at him for a while, expression unreadable. Then he sighed and leaned back. âOkay, well, good.â Natsume could see Nishimuraâs shoulders slump as the tension drained out of him. âBut I still pushed you. You donât have to make excuses for me. Iâm just sorry I did it and I wonât do it again.â
âOkay, apology accepted.â
Nishimura looked startled, like heâd expected Natsume to keep fighting him on this, then his face broke into a grin. âThanks, man.â
âYou donât have to make excuses for me either. Iâm sorry Iâve been stressing you guys out when I get hurt. Iâll stop hiding it or trying to downplay it. I mean, I do want all of you to understand IâŠâ Natsume knew better than to say he was âused to itâ now, so he searched around for a less alarming but still honest way to phrase it. âI have a high pain tolerance, so sometimes it really doesnât seem like a big deal.
âDude, that doesnât make me feel better.â He could tell from how Nishimura looked at him heâd heard the âIâm used to itâ even though Natsume hadnât said it out loud.
âNo, I know. Look, from now on, Iâll admit when something hurts.â He looked down at his ankle, wincing. âLike my ankle really hurts right now. I donât want to go to the hospital but Iâm kind of looking forward to getting painkillers.â He looked over at Nishimura. âDid that work? Or did it just sound whiney?â
âNah, you need to whine a little more, man.â Nishimura punched him lightly on the arm. âIâm telling you, it feels good. When I sprained my ankle a couple years ago, I whined to everyone I knew. That whine was weak. Try harder.â
âItâsâŠuh, agony. IâŠmight die? Was that good.â
âYou need to work on your delivery, but itâs a start.â
They both laughed. Just laughing soothed something in Natsume, his stomach unknotted, and his racing heartbeat slowed. His ankle even hurt a little less.
When the laughter settled, Natsume looked down, twisting his fingers in his lap. âLook, I know I⊠kind of lie and hide things as reflex a lot. But Iâve been trying to be more open with the people I care about.â
Nishimura shrugged. âItâs fine. I mean, Kitamoto and I arenât that stupid, we know thereâs something going on with you, but you can take as much time as you need. I know you must have your reasons.â
âThanks.â
Nishimura chuckled suddenly, looking past Natsume.
âUh oh, here comes your cat. He looks mad! Itâs almost like he knows something happened.â
Nyanko-sensei was indeed stomping towards them, his eyes narrowed.
âAgh, Iâm really in trouble this time,â Natsume said. Nyanko-sensei jumped into his lap, making sure to throw his heavy weight around as he landed. âOof.â
âOh, your troubles have just begun. Donât forget Touko!â Nishimura said cheerfully.
âLike I could.â
âI wouldnât use the âI could dieâ line on her, she might believe you.â
âAmazing advice, thank you.â
Nishimura smirked. âIâd tell you to run, but, you know.â
MmmâŠâ Natsume said, stroking Nyanko-sensei, who was making faint, irritated noises. âThatâs okay. There are some things I donât want to run away from.
---
I hope you enjoyed this! It was way longer than I thought it would be. And I wish I could have made it funnier. But I had a fun time with my first Natsume fic!
I often think about how incredibly fit Natsume must be, yokai-induced sickliness aside. He spends 75% of his life running from yokai, through forests and mountains and all kinds of shit. Every day is a marathon for him, he arguably gets too much exercise (which might contribute to collapsing from exhaustion a lot. over exercising isn't good for you).
But imagine what a fast runner he must be. He's able to sometimes lose yokai despite their supernatural speed etc. And he's been doing this since he's a child? I just want an episode where it's time for track in gym class and everyone's expecting the kid who's constantly sick and exhausted to be the slowest one, but instead he just passes them all at warp speed. WHEN did he have time to get this in shape, isn't he always inches away from keeling over, his class in chaos. Nishimura and Kitamoto are the least surprised since they've seen him running before, but even they didn't think he was THIS fast., wow, what natural talent.
Actually, there should be a running gag where one of the many stressors Natsume faced over the years is track team coaches trying to constantly recruit him in most of the schools he goes to, so he's constantly trying to hide how fast he is because he can't be a burden and have the people he's living with PAY SPORTS EXPENSES omg :(( and also he wouldn't be able to show up for most of the meetings, so. And also he doesn't like most team sports (the real reason).
He's managed to keep it mostly under wraps in Yatsuhara, but then one day it's the sports day episode and Nishimura trips while carrying the baton as they always do and starts crying so Natsume's like "siiiiiiiigh fine don't worry Nishimura I've got this" and suddenly he's at the finish line. Thus his hellish lot of being hounded by the track coach begins anew, thanks a lot Nishimura.

The Office Pet Part 4
warnings: MDNI, pet play, name-calling, exhibitionism, oral (fem receiving), women on women This fic does not mean I think Kusakabe would be bad in bed, but there aren't many other men left. NOT PROOFREAD. I may have stolen some concepts from @anonimusunnoaniswriting
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4
âKusakabe, why are you taking so long?â Kento gives the brunette man a withering look as he sees your unsatisfied state.
âHeâs eating me wrong!â You complain, and Gojo snickers. You had been happy and warm, snuggled with Gojo and Higurumaâs pets when a sudden phone call had all the men gathering in the same room.Â
âWere you aware he was coming today?â
âNo, it was a completely unprompted visit. He said something about a welfare check.â
âOn the pets?â
âYes. I mean itâs a relatively new allowance. Makes sense that heâd want to see if itâs being implemented well.â
Amidst all the chatter, Kento had gently patted your head, trying to rouse you. âMy sweet little pet. Can I ask you for a favor?â He pushes back locks of your pretty hair, his heart melting as your eyes turn from the fuzzy haze of sleep into alertness. âIâm sorry to wake you, but our CEO is arriving shortly. Heâs bringing his pet as well. Weâre worried about Kusakabe. He hasnât eaten pussy in a long time and if he fails to satisfy the CEOâs pet they might take away the office pet allowance altogether.â
He scoops you up, the flimsy miniskirt of the lingerie youâre wearing draping over Kentoâs forearm. âDo you mind letting him practice on you? You smell so delightful little pet.â Kento pressed a kiss to your forehead and you glowed at his affection. Kento had placed you gently on Gojoâs cleared desk and slipped off the lacy panties, exposing your pussy to Kusakabe, who stood looking nervous.Â
âGeez Atsuya, it doesnât have teeth,â Higuruma goaded him, and the room erupted into laughter, both men and pets. âSeriously he keeps looking at it like itâs going to bite him. Itâs soft, squishy. Now stop acting like weâre throwing you to the wolves. Itâs a harmless little pussy, and if you fail in this, the CEO is going to come down hard on you. His pet isnât something you can leave unfinished.Â
Atsuya had shakily approached you, and you glance up at Kento whoâs hovering by your head, gently massaging your breasts to get your blood humming. Atsuyaâs fingers are clumsy as he parts your folds. His warm tongue darts out, but it didn't take long for you to realize he had no idea what he was doing. He kept missing your clit, even though it was right there, peeking out from between your folds, and he failed to listen to your cues, the little happy chirps falling deaf on his ears as he tongue swirled haphazardly over random areas of your core.Â
Kento picks up on your discomfort immediately. âAtsuya I swear to God if you ruin this for all of us just because you donât know how to eat pussy-â
âShow me how!â Kusakabe blurts in panic. Gojo and Higuruma sigh and approach the table. Kento spreads your folds and points to the swollen tissue at the top of your mound. âSee that? Thatâs her clit. Maybe try licking that instead of shoving your tongue everywhere else.â
Kento spits on his fingers and brings them to your clit, massaging the nub, drawing an immediate mewl of happiness from you. âSee? Her face makes it obvious. You have about 5 minutes to prove you can eat her out correctly or else youâll have to go home for the day. Weâll make up an excuse to tell the CEO.â
âI donât know how he missed that,â Gojo says, peeking at your folds. âHer clit is right there.â
âAnd this is her pussy.â Hiromi gently prods your hole and Kusakabeâs face blushes red.Â
âI know!â
âDo you?â
âOk enough! Let him try. We have a very short window to decide if Kusakabe is here or goes home for the day.â
âA little too late for that Iâd say.â
Startled, all 4 men look at the door and see their CEO smiling smugly at them, his pet obediently next to him on the floor, wearing a long overcoat to hide the fact that she was only wearing lingerie underneath it. She had wide eyes and her hair was tied back into a ponytail. She was watching the scene with a keen observance, her smirk mirroring her masterâs as she looked at Kusakabe.Â
Suguru removes the leash from her collar and gives her ass a friendly pat. âGo play sweetheart.â She immediately moves forward to the cuddle pile where Gojo and Higurumaâs pets are seated. They waste no time in welcoming her, removing the trenchcoat and revealing lingerie that looked like shibari ropes, with barely any fabric covering her crotch or nipples. She playfully wriggles her ass and the two other pets take the cue, one of them gently spanking her while the other starts to touch her clit. Her noises of pleasure were punctuated with little yelps as she was spanked.
Suguru rolls up the leash and puts it in his coat pocket before entering the office. He appraises you, laid on your back looking flushed and irritable, your pussy on display to the whole room. Kusakabe immediately steps away so that he can get a better look. Suguruâs long hair tickles your abdomen as he leans over to check the little badge on your collar. He hmms as he reads the name and his eyes fixate on Nanami.Â
âMay I?â he asks, but itâs not really a request for permission. Nanami nods.
Suguruâs hot breath ghosts your thighs and you go perfectly still as his thumbs part your folds. Kusakabeâs spit still lingered and the raven-haired man tsks at the sight. âMost of the wetness here isnât yours, is it pet?â He looks at you, and you hesitate. He cups your face. âI assure you no one will get in trouble.â You shake your head no.Â
Suguru puts his nose between your folds and inhales deeply. âSo sweet. Iâd heard rumors about one of the pets smelling like candy down there. I didnât think it was so accurate.â His tongue swirls around your clit and you let out a moan. He knew exactly what he was doing. Your eyes look up to glance at Kentoâs face and he nods encouragingly, stroking your hair. The tip of his tongue gently nudges the little nub, going at it in patient circles, until you feel your core starting to drip again.Â
Your hand involuntarily tangles into his beautiful hair and he chuckles, the noise muffled against your puffy sex. It might have been out of line, a pet reaching for a masterâs hair without permission but Suguru was in a good mood today, so he allowed it. Your reaction to his mouth was all he needed to allow you that indulgence. You whimper, hips arching as his lips seal around your clit and suck, the pressure pushing you to the edge. You cum with a cry, your clit pulsing hotly inside his mouth while your core spasms in tandem.Â
Suguru pulls away and wipes his mouth. âI hope that suffices as a decent demonstration.â His purple eyes fix on Kusakabe who shrinks. You lie on the table panting and Kento picks you up and places you with your playmates. Suguruâs pet lazily opens her eyes to glance at you, her pussy being serviced attentively by Higurumaâs pet. Youâre entranced by the dreamy quality in her gaze and go over for a kiss, which she accepts with a delighted purr.Â
âAre the pets serving their purpose?â Suguru occupies Gojoâs chair and looks at the men expectantly.Â
âIndeed sir. Theyâre the joy of the office.â Satoru is the first to speak.Â
âI see that their conditions in your office are a littleâŠlackluster though.â Suguruâs eyes take in the plushy futons that have been laid out, not uncomfortable by any means but lacking the finesse heâd been expecting. âPerhaps I can fix that. Iâll give each of you a pet expenditure card for their needs. Start by upgrading their office quarters, but you can also use it for other things; hair, nails, makeup, lingerie, toys. I didnât push so hard for office pets to have them living in basic conditions.â
The statement was rather mindboggling considering the futons were covered in sheets that had an impossible threadcount, and all the pets wore collars made from either gold or platinum, and had at least one jewel embedded in it that exceeded 10 carats. How much luxury was Suguruâs pet living in that he considered their lives to be basic?
âThatâs so kind of you Geto-sama.â Nanami bows. âTruly unexpected.â
Suguruâs eyes fall on his pet who was close to a soft orgasm, her moans muffled by your mouth on hers. She cums with a mewl, her back arching as the pleasure exploded in her, then opens her eyes. Suguru pats his lap and she eagerly crawls over to him, snuggling and allowing him to securely hold on to her using the shibari style lingerie wrapping around her.Â
âDid you enjoy that?â Suguru pets the woman affectionately under the chin and she melts into his touch. âDo you want something else?â She nods as though she already knew what he had in store for her. âTake it then.â
Suguru continues talk to the men as his pet starts to undo his zipper, pulling out his long cock and turning on her kness so that sheâs facing the crowd while he talks. âOffice pets are our best resource to prevent burnout and stress.â His voice hitches for a brief second as his pet slowly sinks onto him, then starts to ride him, her tits bouncing.
Kusakabe lets out a muffled cough, trying not to ogle the sight. The 3 other men look unruffled and continue to listen. Suguruâs large hand grabs onto a bunch of the ropes at the back of the womanâs lingerie, allowing her to move at angles that werenât possible when seated on anotherâs lap on your knees.
âThey provide us with companionship and endless joy and pleasure. Donât think I havenât noticed the improvement in the numbers since the office pet allowance was enabled. That speaks volumes.â He glances at his pet who flushed and clearly enjoying herself as she fucks him. âSlow down.â He grips the ropes tighter, controlling how fast she was moving. âYou donât want to overstimulate yourself.â
âBut I think they deserve the best of everything. Their devotion is endless after all.â He squeezes one of his petâs nipples causing her rhythm to falter. Geto lifts her off his cock slightly by the fabric ropes, steadying her, then loosens his hold so that she can push back down.Â
âIâm also concerned that our newest hire seems to lack the knowledge needed to keep a pet satisfied.â His eyes rove over Kusakabe and the other men turn to glare at him. âHas he really never eaten pussy before?â
âOf course I have!â Kusakabe splutters suddenly. âSir.â He adds hastily.Â
âClearly not with any skill. Nanamiâs pet was half dry by the time I got to her.â Silence fills the room, except for the sound of Getoâs pet moaning, her round ass slapping against his thighs each time she moved. âMy advice to you Atsuya, is to take your time and learn the material. Do you have a girlfriend?â
He shakes his head no. âNo wonder. But I suppose that means we wonât have to worry about the office pet allowance being applicable to you yet.â Geto grunts as his pet slams down on him, and before he could get in another word, she lowers herself completely, eyes closed in ecstasy as she takes Suguruâs load into her.
âWell done sweetheart.âGeto pants and strokes her back. He helps her off his lap and sets her down on the floor and she wanders off to rejoin the other women. He quickly produces a handkerchief and wipes himself clean before continuing.
âThe rest of you though, I assume youâre keeping your pets satisfied? Giving them high quality meals? Ensuring they get enough water? Regular massages? They use their bodies to please us so the least you can do is make sure they donât have any aches and pain.â
âOf course Geto-sama,â Higuruma reassures him. âAll this is being done.â
âExcellent.â He looks at the pets. His was being cleaned by Gojoâs pet while you had her head in your lap, leisurely stroking her cheeks and pressing kisses to her forehead. Geto observes the smitten way his pet looks at you.Â
âCome gentlemen. Letâs have lunch.â He tucks his spent cock back into his pants. âIâll make sure something is sent up for the pets to eat.â
As they walk, Geto lingers behind and catches hold of Nanami. âHow do you feel about setting up a private playdate? My pet and yours?â
Kentoâs hazel eyes look intrigued. âI would have to ask her, but sure. Any reason, Geto-sama?â
âMy pet seems to have taken a liking to her. And whatever my pet wants, she gets.â

EVEN IN OTHER UNIVERSES, I LOVE YOU. â aaron taylor-johnson
In which you came home tired from work and only just wanted to lay down on your shared-bed with your husband. Only to see five different version of said husband.
note: hello! So I have come to write another one shot or fic or whatever you call it because I couldn't help myself but write this new idea I thought of. I do hope you enjoy!
warnings!: none because we fluffy today pookie.
__________________
Sighing tiredly you let out a groan as you took a small break in your car, resting your head on the steering wheel as you closed your eyes for a few moments.
You just finished your work from helping your director write the script for the next movie you're starring. You see, you've been an actress in the industry for a long time now and even though it's tiring you continue to work through it as it is your passion. Plus, it's where you met your lovable and handsome husband. A fellow well-known actor in the industry.
The director asked for your help because you had experience in directing as well as a degree for it. So hence why you also came home late while your husband went ahead after a bit of your persuasion. Thinking of your husband, you smiled fondly. How can you be so lucky to have such a man?
While you were taking a small break from your car, said husband was sweating profusely in the kitchen with a spatula in hand while wearing a pink apron.
Looking at the five males in front of him, Aaron cursed underneath his breath.
"Fuck me."
The gate opened automatically after scanning your car's number plate. Before driving in reverse towards the garage door. Humming a soft tune you put the car on park and grabbed everything you need from the car before coming out of it.
Opening the door connected to the kitchen, you took off your shoes and hanged your coat on the hanger before calling out to your husband with a bright smile.
"Honey, I'm home!" Your smile slowly turned into worry as you were greeted by nothing. Usually you were greeted by a beaming charming smile as well as a giant hug lifting you off from your feet while being spun around by your husband.
Where could he be?
"Aaron? You there?" In slight worry you walked around the first floor of the house searching for your husband, but alas there was no sign so you moved upstairs.
There was a thump in one of the rooms when you were in the middle of walking on the stairs making you feel worry and fear when you heard a voice groaning as well as cursing. Your mind was running in a fast pace as you run up from the stairs towards the source of those noises.
No it can't be, please tell me he didn'tâ
The scene in front of you shocked you. The noises stopped as the figures looked at you in silence.
"Love, I can explainâ" Aaron was the first to break the silence with his hands up as if he was trying not to anger you. And let me tell you, you do not want an angry wife at you.
However, instead of an angry wife. You looked like you were about to cry. You see, another thing about you is that you are quite an open and very sensitive person. Your legs gave up as you collapsed on the floor, tears running down your face as your exhaustion mixed with your anxiety was not a good combination right now.
"Iâi thought you were with a w-womanâ" you stuttered as your husband immediately went over you to put you in his embrace the moment your knees buckled whispering praises as well as reassurance to you. Desperately trying to calm you down. He knew you were very tired since it's about ten in the evening by now and he supposes that the noises he and the others made, made you think of something else.
His heart broke just by thinking he was doing things to another woman other than you, he cannot and will never do such a thing to you. He loves you too much to do so.
The five other male in the room looked at the scene in front of them, disbelief clear in their faces as they looked at your figure. Hearts beating uncontrollably as the younger looking male in the room muttered a name.
Your name.
This made all of you to snap your heads up to the male. Now that you look at it, they all looked just like your husband. No, actually all of them are your husband. No one can impersonate your husband unless it's your husband himself, his face is too unique to be able to copy.
"Why are there five more of you?"
Now that the situation has calmed down, you, your husband and five more of him sat in the living room in silence. Assessing the situation.
"So you're telling me that you, Dave was getting beaten up almost to death before coming here? James, you got here when you were stuck by Voldemort. Alexei, got here when you fell from your horse at full speed, head first. Tangerine, you got here after getting shot on the neck trying to kill the White Death's child and Pietro, you got shot multiple times by saving Clint from dying? Have I summarized it correctly?" You summarized outloud as the others nodded to confirm your statement. You sighed as both you and your husband looked at each other, not knowing what to do since unlike some of their worlds, you guys don't have the power to bring them back to theirs. But they all don't seem like they're hurt from their explanations. Maybe it's cuz they're in a different world.
"What were you doing before I barged in the room?" You asked your husband who looked everywhere but you.
"I was trying to give them some clothes, Dave, Pietro and James was the only one who accepted it but the other two wanted something that fit their styles." Aaron sighed as he took a sip at the coffee he made since it was getting late. He really thinks that you should rest first and let him handle it though.
"Sorry gentlemen, but it's quite late in the evening and I would like to take a nap and rest. We will take care of this tomorrow." You sent them a tired smile as you stood up from your seat and towards your bedroom upstairs, leaving all six of them in the room.
As soon as you were out of hearing range, Aaron's expression turned cold as he looked at Dave. Even if he knew the kid wouldn't hurt his wife because he played his character years ago, he will still not let loose his guard. Dave flinched from the glare and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly while the others stared at him the same way as Aaron, that's weird.
"How do you know my wife?"
This made the men's eyes go wide. Wife? That made them collectively let out a sigh of relief. Wife..
"She's also your wife?" James asked Aaron, it's kind of weird talking to yourself as he looked at the older one in wonder.
"also?" Aaron questioned.
"Yea, I mean. In my universe I married her and had Harry after we got married at twenty-one." James enthusiastically explained as his face brightened up when talking about his lover.
"Uh.. she's my girlfriend in my universe too." Dave lifted up his hand awkwardly. Though you can see that he is also happy to announce that you are his lover.
"I'm also her lover when I have escaped Hydra with my twin sister." Pietro said with a charming smile, his face brightening up whenever he mentioned his wife.
"I'm married to'er in my universe. Doll, was the only one who accepted me other than my brother." Tangerine uttered out as he lit up a cigarette before puffing it out the smoke from his mouth, where he got that from? I don't know and neither does the others.
"...she is my affair, my lover that I intend to protect with all of my soul. The only maiden who saw me for me and not some viscount." Alexei said as his eyes were clouded with the memories of his lover. Ah, how he longed to be in her arms again.
"All of us are her lovers in another universe, huh?" Aaron sighed out, his smile coming out as he thought that even in different versions of himself, he chooses you and is still with you. It makes him sigh in content and happiness as he is assured that no matter what happens, he is still with you in the end.
"Even in every other universes, I love you." All men uttered out, the atmosphere becoming serene as they sat in a few moments of silence.
Warmth filled their chests as the leaned back in their seats as their thoughts only circled in one subject.
You.

That would really cheer me up. Also, in case you missed it, going forward I'm going to be updating every 2 weeks. I really hope I can keep it up!
I must thanks @moonlitbirdie and @lowlights for the beta and their massive support of me in life and in writing this. Also thank you @schnarfer for helping me brainstorm some plot!
đââŹ
Aunt Margotâs ringing up a tattooed girl with glasses when you stomp into the shop. You swing the door open so violently that itâs bell thwacks into the wall. You had almost a mile in the woods to walk it off but your anger has only grown, ballooning into a hot rage thatâs devouring everything in your path.
âHow was it?â Margot asks with a sly smile once the customerâs left with their little brown paper bag.
âRiverâs disgusting,â you announce.Â
âWhat happened?â her expression immediately clouds with concern.Â
âThis is exactly why I donât date witches. I told you that I didn't want to be set up with him.â you rant, blowing past her into what was once the dining room.Â
Thereâs still a turned leg table at its center, now piled with goods for sale. Percy winds his way between beeswax candles and hand-poured soaps. Â
âOh yes I really forced him on you,â she says with sarcasm. âI recall the two of you were practically necking in front of the whole coven last night.â
Youâre not sure if itâs the idea that you almost fucked River or the term necking that grosses you out more but you cringe.
âHeâs so backwards. Guys like him make me ashamed to be a witch,â you say.Â
âHow can you say such a thing? Ashamed to be a witch! Do I need to remind you just how lucky you are? After what weâve been through? Our kind was almost wiped off the face of the earth. By mortals like your little boyfriends,â she says.Â
âIâm so tired of hearing that. Itâs a shitty excuse. Mortals killed witches hundreds of years ago so we get a free pass to do whatever we want. To treat our familiars like slaves,â you reply.Â
She scoffs. âPercy do you hear that?â
He squeaks indignantly.Â
âHeâs offended by that,â she tells you.Â
âHe should be. Itâs worse than offensive. Itâs evil!â you say. Your voice echoes so loudly it rattles the antique silvered mirror hanging over the mantle.Â
Margot gathers Percy in her palm calmly stroking his white fur, her eyebrow arched in a way that tells you sheâs trying to be patient. You shouldnât take out it on her. Sheâs never been anything but good to her familiar.Â
âDo you know what he said about Ezra?â You can feel tears begin to bite at your eyes.Â
She frowns when she reaches into your mind to hear it herself.Â
âHis familyâs always held onto the old ways," she says, shaking her head in disappointment.Â
âDonât make excuses for him,â you snap.Â
She tucks Percy into the pocket of her cardigan and places a gentle hand on your shoulder.Â
âHeâs an idiot and Iâm proud of you. And you should be proud of yourself too. All of you,â she says.Â
â
The basement of the Arcane Page might be described as spooky, what with its cobwebs and dusty, amber jars. Apothecary shelves stocked with potions, rare ingredients, and animal bones meet the low ceilings. Disused broomsticks sit in the corner along with willow branches and a black goatâs horn. There are all manner of spell books down here along with hand written notes from your ancestors. At the center of the room thereâs a wide oak table carved with runes and spells. It smells like ink and dried leaves and magic.Â
The warm sunset streams through the egress windows catching the dust that floats in the air. Margot didnât have to be a mind reader to know you wanted to be alone and so she didnât put up a fight when you offered to close up on your own. After you closed the register and locked the front door, you ventured down to the part of the shop meant only for witches.Â
Your plan was just to have some quiet before venturing upstairs where Ezra would be waiting. For all you knew he was still huddled under the bed. You could abhor River but only one of you had actually hurt your familiar. You couldnât bring yourself to face Ezra knowing you were just as bad as the rest of them.Â
You start opening old books. Spell books and ancient texts. Youâre looking for something, what it is you canât be certain. All you know is that you felt drawn down here, your fingers itching for the parchment pages.Â
When you were a young witch, you came here often. There were spell books that had become your favorites, embellished with intricate illustrations. You memorized charms for changing the color of your hair and shuffled a dog-eared set of tarot cards. This was where you cast some of your very first spells. Magic made the world feel full of wonder yet it gave you some control, an order to things that would otherwise be chaos.Â
Thatâs gone now. All of it mixed upâ pride and shame, power and weakness, love and loss.Â
You pull a large volume from the shelf, its soft leather cover embossed with constellations. heavy and thick, You need both hands to carry it to the table where it lands with a thud and a gasp of dust escapes into the air.Â
You turn it open, the aged glue of its spine cracking. You run your fingers over the delicate pages, so thin you can practically see through them. Theyâre covered in a careful hand and you canât help but wonder about the witches that set these spells down, what advice theyâd have for you.Â
The magic in here is convoluted, singular spells that spill over pages and pages with diagrams and celestial calendars. Some are written in verse so dense you can barely make out their meaning. They remind you of the cadence of Ezraâs voice.Â
These are not small acts of witchcraft. There are instructions for summoning beasts and recipes for potions that restore youth to be brewed specially on the solstice. Some of it feels dangerousâ curses against unfaithful lovers, spells to wake the dead and use them for your bidding.Â
You read through them all with mild curiosity. You have no reason to reanimate a dead horse or brew a cure for quinsyâ whatever that isâ though it would be amusing to cast a perpetual dancing spell on River if you didnât think it would kill him.Â
You chuckle to yourself as you imagine him dancing uncontrollably, his limbs uncontrollable, as you turn the page. And there you see it.Â
What you didnât know what you were looking for has found you. Â
â
You barge into the apartment with a wild look in your eye. Ezraâs still curled up in your spot on the bed. Heâs been there most of the afternoon, letting bad memories flood his mind.Â
After the elders turned him, Ezra promised himself that he would be better. Heâd been selfish and dishonest. Quick to anger. It was out of necessity, heâd told himself, but obviously it had only brought him suffering. He would change. But had he? Heâd let you care for him, had loved you and fantasized about you, and heâd hurt you. Â
Youâre calling his name, breathless from running up the stairs, with a leather bound book under your arm.Â
Ezra lingers in the bedroom door, guilt still festering.Â
âLook,â you say, setting the tome open on the little breakfast table with a thud. It seems as though youâve forgotten everything, a whirl of urgency about you.Â
Ezra hops up and seats himself in front of the weathered pages. He takes in the verses there, the drawing scratched with quill and ink. Itâs complicated and obscure, laborious instructions that must be followed to the letter. Behind him youâre nearly bouncing with untamed energy.Â
âWhat are you showing me?â he asks. He knows. The spell is exact but its outcome is clear.Â
âItâs a transfiguration spell,â you explain.Â
âThat much is clear butââ
âI want to do it,â you say. Thereâs a determination in your words, a fiery assuredness that makes Ezraâs heart pick up. âI want to turn you back into a human.â
âThatâs impossible.â
âNo. Itâs all right here. And it says under the moon of All Hallowâs Eve. Thatâs just in a few weeks,â you add excitedly.Â
âLittle mage, I neednât explain why this is folly,â he says.
It pains him to say it and not just because being human again would be the greatest gift. Your expression is a mix of frustration and heartbreak.Â
âYou propose to defy the Eldersâ judgment. They wonât take kindly to that,â he says.Â
âFuck them,â you hiss. âThe laws have changed. If you were convicted now, theyâd take your powers but they wouldnât make you live like this.â
âTheyâll take yours if you do something so foolish,â he says. It comes out harsh but heâs angry that youâd risk your powers for him. That he wants so badly to accept.Â
âYou donât deserve to be a fucking cat. You should get a normal life,â you say, your body sagging onto the sofa like it canât stand the weight of it all anymore.Â
âThatâs quite a touching sentiment.â Ezra tries to couch the words in sarcasm but his voice breaks. He jumps down from the table and situates himself on the cushion beside you.Â
âWhy didnât you tell them?â you ask, defeated. Tearful eyes look towards the ceiling before falling onto him. âWhen they put you on trial. Why didnât you tell the elders what heâd done?â
Ezraâs head sinks between his shoulders.Â
Damon was the kind of witch that only used his powers to numb himself to the rest of the world. He brewed potions that made him neglectful of his daughter one moment, belligerent towards her the next. Ezra had never considered himself a do-gooder. He saw the girl with bruises and said nothing. He was so disinterested in the goings on, heâd never even bothered to learn her name until his trial. Largely, he ignored them until the night he took Damonâs life.Â
Ezra hadnât meant to engage him. It was a snide remark he made that pulled Damonâs attention away from berating Cee. Soon the two of them came to blows, Damon throwing the first punch with an accusation. Ezra was scrappy but there was a point when Damon had him pinned down and he thought his time was up. So when he was able to break free, Ezra made sure he wouldnât be bested.Â
âYou canât understand how precarious it was for us then,â he says. âA hundred years of witch hunts. The life of a witch, even one as detestable as Damon was precious.â
Maybe if theyâd known how Damon treated one of their kind, they would have shown Ezra leniency. But the real reason he accepted his punishment was because he knew it had been his own fault. Had he intervened earlier, gotten the Elders involved, it wouldnât have ended in murder. You might think him a hero, but when the Elders made Ezra her familiar, Cee made it clear that she did not.Â
You sigh, a slight shake of your head, and you sink back into the sofa.Â
âYou are a more than capable witch but this is ancient magic. It took the powers of no less than three elders to change me,â Ezra says as if itâs any consolation.Â
âMaybe MargotââÂ
âYouâd both risk your powers,â he stops you. âNo, little mage. Itâs impossible.â
â
âIâm not coming,â you say.Â
Aunt Margot is loading a carpet bag into the trunk of her station wagon. Nearly a month has passed since the equinox. Halloween is two days away which means itâs time for your annual trip to Salem where the coven will be gathered through Samhain. The celebrations will be days long, singing and food, apple bobbing and fortune telling. Your little gathering doesn't compare.Â
Last night you couldnât bring yourself to pack.
âWhat do you mean?â She asks.
âIâm sorry,â you say with a shrug.Â
Youâve been waffling on this decision for weeks but youâve made up your mind. Even if it disappoints Aunt Margot.
âBut everyone will miss you. And Simoneâs making her gumbo,â she says.
âI know,â you say.Â
As Margot babbles out more reasons why you really shouldnât stay home (âThe spirit walk just wonât be the same without youâ), Ezra snakes between your legs. You were nervous of how sheâd take this news and Ezra promised to be moral support.Â
She throws out her hands with a pout. âI canât stand thinking about you alone for All Hallows Eve,â she says.Â
âI wonât be alone,â you say, picking Ezra up and scratching under his chin. Â
âI will miss the gumbo,â he tells her.Â
âNo Ezra,â she contemplates. âMaybe I can actually win at Scrabble.âÂ
âPerchance,â he says, and you know sheâs mentally tabulating the word score.Â
âIs this because of River?â She narrows her eyes.Â
Itâs not. While you certainly wonât miss him, you wouldnât let some dickwad keep you from having a good time. Itâs all of them, really. Esme and the rest of them. Knowing how they think of Ezra, how they think of you, it makes you want to scream. You canât subject him to their scorn and disdain, you wonât. Youâd rather spend All Hallows Eve at home.Â
And then thereâs that little part of you. The one that knows itâs preposterous and downright idiotic yet still hopes that you can put the Halloween moon to good use. Ezra shut that down fast but, oh, how good would it feel for the funny little witch to give them all the middle finger? .Â
âIâm just not in the spirit,â you say.Â
âWell it wonât feel like All Hallows Eve without you,â she sighs.Â
âI know,â you say. Thereâs a lump in your throat. Youâve never been apart from her for Samhain. There are countless warm memories of Halloweens past. When Margot got you your very first cauldron. The taste of pumpkin pie. The year of the freak snowstorm.Â
With another sigh and the jingle of her bracelets, Margot pulls you into an embrace. The smell of vetiver hangs off her hair and you breathe it in deeply.Â
âIâll light a candle for you,â she promises.Â
âThanks,â you say.Â
âAnd Iâm going to jinx Riverâs socks. Theyâll be damp for a month,â she says.Â
You laugh.Â
The horn of her car beeps and you break the hug to see Percy appear at the top of the steering wheel.Â
âHeâs worried about the traffic on the Thruway,â she tells you. âIâm coming!â
âTake care of her,â she says to Ezra, petting along his jaw
He nods.Â
When Margotâs tail lights disappear down the street, you sit beside Ezra on the front steps.Â
âYou could go,â he says.Â
âI made the right choice,â you say, stroking down the shiny fur on his back.Â
âSo what now?â he asks.Â
âI donât know. I've always wanted to go trick or treating,â you say.Â
âThatâs blasphemy, little mage,â Ezra quips.Â
âÂ
Ezra holds you in his arms. Human arms. Your skin is warm against his as you lay tangled together. The morning light catches on the prism beads you have hanging in your bedroom window, little rainbows dancing across the walls and rumpled bedspread. His lips brush across your forehead, leaving a ghost of a kiss at your hairline. You sigh dreamily and your fingertips graze his bare chest. Youâre just barely awake when you turn your face up to him, your eyes warm like you missed him while you were sleeping. He greets you with a kiss, your lips opening to him with a low hum. His fingers tangle with yours as the grasp the spindles in the headboard.Â
His name comes out of you in a gasp of breath.Â
Heâs had these dreams for years but theyâve been happening almost every night since you showed him that spell. Sometimes passionateâ your thighs opening as he explores your bodyâ but just as often innocuous. Picking flowers in the meadow by his boyhood home. Bringing you tea as you read on the porch swing.Â
Each dream is so alluring, even the most banal, he wakes up with the words on the tip of his tongue, ready to ask you to risk it all and turn him.Â
You havenât brought it up again in the weeks since you set that spellbook in front of him. Maybe you thought better of it. Maybe you were just angry. You told him about your spat with River and, while it touched him that youâd come to his defense, he knew it was an impulsive choice.Â
Either way, itâs for the best.
It wouldnât end well. Of course, youâd be putting yourself at risk. Heâd made that very clear to you. There are a thousand other reasons why it shouldnât be done. Heâs probably forgotten how to be human and what he would do with himself in this day and age, he has no idea. The only job experience heâs had in the past two hundred years is rat catching.
The logistics of being a human matter little to him, though. His real concern is with you.
Heâll no longer be your companion. You wonât scratch behind his ears, invite him to lay in your lap. Youâll probably expect him to move on and live the life heâs always wanted. He canât think of one that doesnât involve you.
At least as a cat, he never has to know if youâd choose another man over him.
Heâs laying awake, pondering this once again, when your eyes crack open. Warm mid morning light pours in through the lace curtains, bathing you in a honeyed glow. With Margot out of town and the store closed, the two of you had been on your own, spending the previous dsy together. A walk in the woods, a visit to the coffee shop where other patrons greeted Ezra with friendly scritches. You bailed on plans with the mortal Connor to watch movies and snuggle Ezra on the couch. It should have been enough, thatâs what he thought when the credits rolled and you were snoring on the couch, your fingers buried in his scruff. He could share a lifetime of this with you and be grateful for it. But he was greedy.Â
âHappy Halloween,â you say.Â
You pull him close and he nuzzles into your warm skin.Â
âYou were in my dream,â you say. Your voice is still rough from sleep, still somewhere far away like you havenât fully regained consciousness.Â
Ezraâs cheeks heat under his fur. Itâs not just the raspiness of your throat but his shame. If only you knew what heâd been dreaming about.Â
âI was doing that spell. To change you,â you say.Â
âI wouldâve hoped for something more scintillating.â He plays it off as a joke.Â
You huff a laugh and rest your wrist across your forehead, eyes cast towards the ceiling. âRight when you turned I woke up,â you say.Â
Ezra doesnât want to admit itâ that he was thinking about that very spell, that he wants your dream to be a premonition. Witches have been known to have those. No, thatâs wishful thinking.Â
He gets to his feet and stretches out.Â
âWhat a pity you missed my face. I canât quite remember my own countenance,â he says.Â
You sigh with exasperation. âI think itâs a sign,â you say.
âOur dreams are just that,â he tells you.
âNot this one. It wasnât just a dream,â you insist. You sit up on your elbows meeting his eye with eagerness. âI can do it.â
âI told youââ
âEzra, I want to do it,â you say with finality. âI want you to be human again.â
He grits his teeth. If he was capable of crying, he might after hearing your words, seeing that resolution in your expression. It takes all of his strength to not just give in and say yes. You know the reasons why it shouldnât be done and he canât tell you the ones that make him hesitant.
âYou would turn me knowing how much more capable I am of violence? I might be declawed but I will be far more dangerous as man than beast.,â he asks. It still weighs on him even though itâs been weeks since the equinox and it seems youâve all but forgotten it.
âI trust you,â you say. Thereâs a tenderness in your eyes that makes Ezraâs heart swell.Â
He knows you mean it. You shouldnât. He doesnât deserve to be trusted, to be loved by you. He was never a good man, never stood up for anyone else. And itâs that very reason thatâs had his mind in knots. Heâs selfish. He wants this chance.Â
Maybe, maybe youâll give him the same look as a human and he can love you back the way heâs always wanted.Â
âBesides, I know how to defend myself,â you say with a grin.Â
Thatâs his little mage.Â
âVery well,â he says. âIâm ready.â
â
You light the final candles on the oak table. The basement is illuminated by the dim glow of candles. Youâve spent the whole day down here with Ezra readying everything for the moon of All Hallows Eve.
Luckily Aunt Margot will be gone for the week so you donât have to worry about interruptions. Youâre not sure how sheâll react but right now, frankly, you donât care. This is the right thing to do, you keep telling yourself. Itâs justice. Itâs not about the thrill you feel now, butterflies in your belly.Â
Youâve daydreamed about it and after last nightâs dream, your imagination feels closer than ever Thereâs no good picture in your mind of what Ezra will be like but his looks arenât important. You canât wait to do normal things with him. What will it be like to get a coffee with Ezra? To do rituals together at Ostara. To hear his old stories again, made new by his facial expressions.Â
Heâs quiet, nervous youâre sure, beside your cauldron. His golden eyes flit from the flames to the spellbook to the darkened window. Your excitement cools and suddenly youâre worried that your enthusiasm got the better of you. Had you pressured him into agreeing to this? Heâs still your familiar after all, bound to serve you.
You kneel at the edge of the table.
âAre you sure you want to do this? We donât have to,â you say.
âAs long as youâre certain youâre willing to take on the risks,â he tells you.
You nod.
âVery well,â he says.
You look at one another for a long time, both knowing that this will be the last time things are the same. You memorize everything about him, his elegant face, the whiskers beside his little black nose, the streak of white fur above his eye. This is your Ezra, will always be even if he doesnât exist in this form. You wish you could thank him for everything heâs done for you but the words are stuck in your throat. It wonât do to start crying now when you need to focus and recite the incantation clearly.
âI love you, Ezra,â you manage.
He responds with a long, slow blink and you kiss his forehead.
The potion is murky and thick as you ladle it into a dish. Ezra recoils when you place it in front of him.Â
âSmells like piss,â he says with a wince before lapping it up. A shiver runs over his body, down the length of his tail. âTastes like it.â
He leaps onto the table and settles at the center of the carved pentagram.
âWork your magic, little mage,â he says.
This is it. Itâs all laid out just like your dream but youâre still anxious. Thereâs no room for error.
With a deep breath, you straighten your back and begin to say the words. You read them countless times throughout the day, memorizing each verse so that it can flow from your heart to your tongue. As each one leaves your mouth, you visualize them on the page. Magic begins to stir in you, a tingle beneath your skin.
Ezra lays on his belly, his eyes drifting close, paws outstretched towards you.Â
You shut your eyes tight and focus your energy, like a beam of pure magic directed towards him and say the words again.You think about him, really envision his details down to the hair. Memories flood you. Ezra rubbing up on the old books in the store. His soft purrs against your chest when your heart felt heavy. The time he slipped on the edge of the tub and fell into your bath. The love you feel for him radiates in your chest all the way to your fingertips.
Youâre squeezing all of it palms, every drop of energy within you aimed at Ezra. A vibration, an earthquake.Â
You say the words a final time.Â
Lightheaded. Breathless. Exhausted.Â
Your eyes flutter open.
Ezra lays on the table just as you left him. Unchanged.
âNo.â The word slips from your mouth nothing more than a whisper.
Ezra blinks, looking down at his black paws.
You see his shoulders sag and a long moment passes as he gathers himself before looking at you.
It doesnât make sense. You did everything right, just as youâd seen in your sleep. Youâve never cast with such fervor.Â
âOkay,â you say, swallowing hard around a sob. âWeâll do it again. The moon will be higher.â You can hear your own desperation, voice shaking as you try not to lose faith.
Ezra slowly sits himself up.
âMaybe you need more potion,â you suggest.
âNo, little mage,â he says, resigned.Â
âEzââ Youâve failed him. Your chest burns, tears brim in your eyes.It feels like you might collapse from the exertion and sheer heartbreak thatâs overwhelming you.
âItâs alright. Iâve been a cat for more than a few years. And so I shall remain,â he says.
đââŹ

wahhh i know i've chosen the worst time to finally read this because you're on semi-hiatus but better late than never right? it was so wonderful to see the first post you made about this wip grow into such a story-rich fic where the love and care and effort you put into it is palpable. i knew from the first paragraph i was NOT going to leave my commentary in the tags because i was going to have too much to say
"Would you beg for him to spare your life like others did? Or would you sit in complete shock, words lodged deep inside your throat?"
just fyi i saved these questions for later because i had an inkling they'd come back around in some way
"He had no knowledge about flowers but he always thought white chrysanthemums meant death, specifically a symbol of mourning, and griefâa flower fit for oneâs grave yet you displayed them in a vase to bring life into your room."
this was so interesting to me! because i had the exact same thought when i read that part too!! i love how chrysanthemums play such different roles for each of them. for the reader, theyâre something beautiful, a way to brighten up a space, but in chrolloâs world, theyâre a reminder of death, a memento mori. itâs such a clever contrast that tells us so much about how differently they view life and loss.
i also feel this gnawing sense of dread every time chrollo notes the reader's routine. heâs carefully weaving her into his own life, his own routine. like i know it's part of his job but whether he admits it or not, sheâs become a part of his life tooâand thatâs terrifying because what will this all lead to?
"Surprisingly, Euan acknowledged Chrollo with a dip of his chin; you mirrored your dateâs action, and only then did the assassin respond in the same way."
not chrollo only responding when reader does it sjdhfjkshfkdgdhgkhg
"Albeit subtle, Chrollo sensed it was thereâas though a foreign seed had been planted in his chest waiting for it to grow, and destroy him from inside out. Whether it produced the fruit of anger, revenge or some other emotion in the dictionary, he couldnât tell, all he knew was it took root inside his heart."
this right here was just so wellwritten!!! the slow growth of something he doesnât understand, so strong it could destroy him. almost like he is being infested. i had to take a moment absorb this
"If anything, it was akin to a bird suddenly losing the ability to fly when flying was the only thing it knew."
LAWDDDD ANOTHER PERFECT LINE. mf is so disoriented by his feelings
"By no means was he insecure about those scars, in fact, he proudly wore them like a badge, to serve as a reminder that the rest of the world wasnât his friend"
i enjoyed this small glimpse into his psyche. it really goes to show the world hasn't been kind to him, as opposed to reader's life where (iâm assuming) most things are handed to her on a silver platter
âWhatâWhat about Mr. Euan?â- okay, i have to be honest, i was so wrapped up in the chemistry between reader and chrollo that i totally forgot about euan until he was mentioned again here LOLLLLL. i mean, how could i not? you have- "That was the last thing he said before he found himself sitting on the edge of your bed, kissing you like he loved you. Did he? Large hands cupped your jaw, eagerly pulling you closer to his face. Even though Chrollo didnât bare his heart, the zeal behind his kisses revealed the truth hidden in his chest."- right before this and iâm supposed to remember there's another man in the picture? IMPOSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE
"If Chrollo was to put it in words, the aroma smelled of sweet death, and it reminded him of the church back in Meteor City."
oh i have a feeling where this might be heading, i KNOW foreshadowing when i see it. i immediately felt a sense of foreboding, as if this aroma tied to death is a sign of what's to come...
so i had to stop myself from listing every line i loved otherwise, this wouldâve turned into an essay (it kind of already is. FUCK). i have so much to say! first of all, iâm sorry if iâm reading too deeply into things, but i adored everything about this. youâre so insanely talented. itâs inspiring, honestly. iâm completely obsessed with the flower motifs woven throughout. even the smaller details, like âbloom in his chest,â make such an impact.
one thing that stands out is how chrolloâs whole worldview shifts after meeting her. everything he once knew seems to invert, like his reality is cracking open in her presence. are the wealthy inherently corrupt? is she a target or a lover? was this gun going to protect or kill her? are the chrysanthemums symbols of life or death? the fact that everything he thought he believed begins to lose meaning as he gets closer to her is so UGHHH idek the word... just GOOD. GREAT. itâs as if sheâs the one force that makes him question his place, his values, and even his own motives. the internal conflict is so beautifully done.
when i read âdevotionâ in the title i assumed it would focus on her commitment. maybe that sheâd sacrifice too much of herself and end up suffering as a result (i mean i suppose that's true) but then, as the story unfolded, it hit me: it was the cost of chrolloâs devotion all along. he finally committed, and the price was her life!!!!!!!!! the way this realisation crept up, only to hit in full force, was just chefâs kiss. the symbolism, the tragedy of it all, the way she gave life and meaning to chrysanthemums only to lose her own life
coming back to the line i saved earlier: âWould you beg for him to spare your life like others did? Or would you sit in complete shock, words lodged deep inside your throat?â it was so worth it to keep this question in mind because when she ended up pleading his name during the love-making scene, the contrast was đĄ !!!!!!!! who wouldâve thought that sheâd be pleading not for her life but in a moment of intimacy?
honestly, this whole piece kept me on my toes and left me a mess by the end. you portrayed chrollo so nuanced and iâm sure any chrollo truther would appreciate that. thank you for sharing this beast with us!! i loved it

notes: divider: cafekitsune. ITS HERE !! thank u to @ljubimaya & @avatarofstars for supporting me throughout the writing process and for being such amazing friends :3 this is different from my usual fics + super self indulgent so enjoy. feedbacks & thoughts are much appreciated ><
Loud music, enough to make oneâs chest thump, annoying bright strobe lights, and the sea of intoxicated bodies that passionately danced with one another without a care in the world, Chrollo wanted out. He observed the luxury club with a subtle scowl, gaze sharp enough to tear oneâs throat as he watched the spoiled, and rich carelessly sway to the beat of the musicâyou were one of them.
A privileged affluent businessmanâs daughter who didnât know how to handle oneâs wealth so she resorts to spending nights swiping her card for overpriced drinks, and whatever expensive shit the club had to offer.
Meanwhile, the lower class had to work themselves to near death to be able to provide for their families. One, two, three jobs just to make ends meetâjust to pay rent, just to bring food to the table even if it meant working for the underworld.
That was where Chrollo fell into the spectrum; fortunate enough to live but unfortunate enough to live a cruel life in an equally cruel world. He grew up learning how to steal, fight, and kill while you grew up having maids cook every meal, a solid roof over your head, and generational wealth to spend.
It made Chrollo sick to his stomach how wealthy kids like you could just take, take, and take yet had the audacity to complain about their lives as if society didnât favour them at all. He could go on, and on about this whole ordeal but at the end of the day, no one would even bat an eye, plus, he had a job to doâtechnically, two jobs.
At the heart of the sweaty, inebriated club, you stood there beneath the neon strobe lights, it bounced off the strands of your hair like a colourful aura mirroring your careless joy. Body perfectly swaying to the beat of the music, a half-full glass of a sweet cocktail, and a blissful expression on your face; maybe if the circumstances were different Chrollo would have smiled at your blithe spirit but it wasnât.
Your eyesâa drunken hazeâfound his own to which you immediately acknowledged with a cheery wave of your free hand.
It only took a split second for Chrollo to mask the obvious scowl on his face with a sickly saccharine smileâone that made his gut twist with disgustâhe returned the gesture with a dip of his chin paired with raising a glass of water in the air as if to make a toast. Chrolloâs expression fell the minute you turned away, unceremoniously slouching back into the leathered booth youâve booked beforehand, he let out a deep sigh, and rubbed at his temples.
Two weeks
It had only been two weeks since your fatherâChrolloâs employerâhired him as your personal bodyguard, and as expected, extensive pre-screening was a must before one could securely acquire said role which Chrollo found extremely bothersome despite its lack of difficulty. Though this wasnât a rare occurrence, it only made sense for the rich to hire a skilled bodyguard to protect oneself from unknown dangers.
Obviously, he didnât apply to be your personal bodyguard for sincere reasonsâfar from it, actually; Chrollo was here for a task that would land him his heftiest pay yet, even just thinking about made his head spin with immeasurable happiness already but Chrollo figured heâd bask in filthy money after completing the job. He always did.
If anything, this should be a walk in the park for him considering there was nothing more satisfying than seeing the demise of a wealthy brat. But for now, heâd take it slow, and earn your trust âtil the right time comes; where his mask falls, and true motives come to light.
Where the last thing the assassin would receive from you was a look of pure horror much like his previous targets. Would you beg for him to spare your life like others did? Or would you sit in complete shock, words lodged deep inside your throat?
These thoughts immediately dissipated at the call of his name; a few feet away, you stumbled your way towards the booth, the highball glass tucked in your hand was now empty with only half melted ice cubes remaining. Chrollo stood up, wrapping a firm arm around your back, helping you regain balance before guiding you to the leathered seat, the fabric cool against your feverish skin.
âShould I call the chauffeur, miss?â Chrollo feigned worry. His stature loomed over your sitting figure, back lit with red neon strobe lights, giving him a deep crimson glow. You stared at him longer than necessary before responding with a small nod; the wild atmosphere, paired with your spinning vision seemed like a good enough hint to head home, and retire for the night.
At your agreement, Chrollo let out a big mental sigh of reliefâhe may be an adept assassin but sitting idly for hours while watching his asset drink the night away exhausted his patience more than one could imagine.
The ride back to the estate was all a drunken haze for you, though, you recalled a brief exchange of words between Chrollo, and your chauffeur as the latter helped you inside the vehicle before, they seemed to get along swimmingly despite the former only being a new addition to your personal staff. Albeit, that description might be a bit too generous, maybe it was just your drunk self thinking but nonetheless, you appreciated the courteous manner between the two.Â
âLukas?â
You called out to the chauffeur, he donned a formal attire just like Chrolloâa black tailored suitâhe was an old-timer who had been your fatherâs previous chauffeur before you were born. It was safe to say youâve learned a lot from him growing up, and maybe even served more as a father figure than your biological one.
âYes, miss?â Lukas glanced briefly at the rear-view mirror. âChrollo . . Heâs nice, isnât he?â
The older man could only chuckle in response, letting your words soak into the darkness of the vehicle before nodding, âHeâs a promising young lad.â He glanced at the mirror once again, this time letting his gaze linger on you, headlights from the vehicle Chrollo drove behind poured into the backseat, and illuminated your face; Lukas didnât know if it was due to your drunken state or from pure sincerity but the subtle smile on your face somewhat warmed his heart.
He took a mental note that you seemed to be quite fond of your new bodyguard.
After safely reaching the estate, and escorting you inside, Chrollo made his way to the staff house. Walking past the wooden double doors, he was stopped in his tracks by a familiar voice, âOff to bed, Chrollo?â It was Lukas, your chauffeur; he sat on one of the crimson couches, one hand nursing a cup of hot coffee.
Chrollo stared at the old manâs face behind the wisps of steam from the drink, the latter donned a rather pleased look on his face, he thought nothing of it, and nodded, âAnd yourself?â
Lukas returned the nod, âA little later for me.â
Silence occupied the living room for a moment. Chrollo couldâve left the conversation at that but instead, he stood there, feet rooted on the wooden floor, sensing that Lukas had more to say but was debating on it.
Seeing as he didnât want to waste any more time, Chrollo spoke up âIs there something else youâd like to say?â His voice cut through the quiet atmosphere, he had now angled his body towards the older man. Lukas set the mug atop the coffee table before giving him his full attention, âThe young miss seems to have taken a liking to you.â
Chrollo didnât know how to react to thatâeven if he did, he wouldnât have let on.
At his silence, Lukas invited himself to speak further, âAt times, she can be quite a handful . . but hearing her speak positively of you warms my heart. What Iâm trying to say is, please take good care of the young miss, it means a lot for her to say such things about you.â
Trust? Good.
Chrolloâs rosy lips stretched into a genuine smile, âI will. Thank you.â And with that, he excused himself before heading to his room, the soles of his obsidian shoes produced no noise with each step. He wasnât happy because you seemed to like him, no, Chrollo was happy because you trusted him so easilyâprobably the biggest mistake youâve made.
Though, nothing would really change if you didnât trust him, either way, youâd meet your demise no matter what.
As the new week rolled around, it was no surprise that Chrollo had already memorised your weekly routineâwithout a doubt, you spent days in the office but he had noted other destinations you frequented.
On Mondays, you visited a cosy flower boutique in the morning, owned by a lovely old florist whoâs cheeks were as pink as the camellias neatly displayed on the counter next to her. You only bought one type of flowerâwhite chrysanthemums, a dozen, to be exact; they were carefully wrapped in a simple brown paper, and topped off with an ivory satin ribbon.
On the way back to the car, Chrollo wondered why you chose these specific flowers, and upon asking, you simply replied with:
âWhite chrysanthemums symbolise devoted love, and loyaltyâsomething we need more of in this world, donât you think?âÂ
How ironic. He had no knowledge about flowers but he always thought white chrysanthemums meant death, specifically a symbol of mourning, and griefâa flower fit for oneâs grave yet you displayed them in a vase to bring life into your room.
If you were being completely honest, chrysanthemums didnât hold any significance in your life; one day you decided to visit the flower boutique run by the old lady, and she had told you all about the flower. Oddly enough, you started to grow fond of it.
Chrysanthemums were awfully common in his hometownâMeteor Cityâand not in a good way; inhabited by untraceable outcasts, it was the perfect hunting ground for illegal activities such as human trafficking, as well as an endless source of disposable hitmen, and assassins like Chrollo himself.
Due to mass abductions, and murders of the people, chrysanthemums were laid out at the church for each victim; he could clearly remember walking down the aisle, a smell so sweet, and minty filled the thick atmosphere. For an aroma so pleasant, who wouldâve thought it was associated with such sorrow?
On Tuesdays, you attended your private pilates lesson at 8 AM on the dot which lasted a little under an hour. As usual, Chrollo stayed idly by the entrance of the studio, just at the foyer as the muffled voice of your instructor seeped from under the closed door; this was usually paired with brunch at a local cafĂ© after, as per your words, âa much needed caffeine breakâ whatever that meant. He couldnât care less, he was too busy assessing the layout of the building for an escape route, and potential threats as though he wasnât the biggest threat here.
The window seat offered a clear view of the street outside, vehicles driving by, people in their own little world as they headed to their destination; not to mention the ample morning sunlight that poured in, allowing you to study Chrolloâs reflection from the glass.
He stood behind you with his back facing the window, scanning the entire cafĂ©; you watched as his head slowly moved from left to right, then right to left, giving you a peek of his side profile. Your eyes traced every dip, and curve of Chrolloâs face, from the slope of his nose, all the way to the sharpness of his jawline. It was odd how this manâwho barely talked to you unless necessaryâhad piqued your interest. In what way? That was something you were still trying to figure out.
How Chrollo carried himself with silent confidence stood out from the rest of your security team; sure, he was vigilant of his surroundings but each action he displayed was calculated, and cleanâtoo clean. Youâve also noticed how his steps were much lighter than everyone elseâs, it made almost no sound as though he was actively stalking a prey. And for a brief moment, you wondered who that prey was.
On Wednesdays, you were present at your fatherâs company for the whole day. Though, the scowl on your face clearly screamed your opposition; it wasnât a secret to anyone how uninterested you were in all the business talkâin fact, if anyone were to ask about it, you could probably go on, and on about how boring, and tedious it was, conversely, if asked what you wanted to do in life, youâd probably have a hard time answering.
Alas, as the sole heir, the company automatically fell to your hands whether you liked it or not. Wednesdays were always a drag, having to make acquaintances with investors, and show face during monotonous meetings that rarely concerned youâyouâd rather spend time elsewhere.
On Thursdays, you were also at the company but for a different reason. Chrollo only knew you reported straight to your fatherâs office, and he was often ordered to wait at the ground floor. The meeting with your father always took approximately two hours, and each time, you came out looking like someone had pressed all your buttons.
Though today, for the sake of Chrolloâs own selfish curiosity, seeing as the hallway was deserted, he lingered outside the office for a bit but all he really got was pure silenceâeither you, and your father conversed in a hushed voice or the walls were soundproof. Whatever the case was, Chrollo didnât bother sticking around but he was quickly stopped in his tracks as voices from inside were suddenly raisedâyours first, followed by your father.
Looking back at the office door, Chrollo heard you shout in opposition, it seemed like the conversation had somewhat turned into a heated argument. Nonetheless, he continued down the hallwayâit was none of Chrolloâs business, after all.
âNo! Iâve already told you, Iâm not doing that!â Loud voice sliced through the growing tension inside the room. The older maleâwho sat behind his deskâleaned back into the seat, leather groaning beneath his weight as he rubbed his temples at your stubbornness, clearly displeased with how much you were blowing everything out of proportion. You stayed rooted in your spot, just standing a metre away from your father.
âLook, darling, Iâve already agreedââ âAgreed without my consent.â Raising your hands in defeat, you paced around the room, each heavy step muffled by the crimson carpet beneath your soles. âIâm the one getting married to someone I havenât met! I never even wanted to be in an arranged marriage just because of whatâa stupid business partnership?!â
This was the first time youâve raised your voice at your father; all the years under his care, and guidance, you gladly accepted what was left upon your hands. Continuing the legacy of your fatherâs company? Sure, no problem, you could deal the burden on your shoulders but marrying a complete stranger?
That was more than crossing a mere boundary.
Your father was a skilled business man, and you never doubted that onceâhe was excellent at negotiating, and closing deals so for him to stoop as low as agreeing with an arranged marriage for the sake of his company, it baffled you, a lot. What more could he possibly want?
âIâm done with this conversation.â
Letting out a breath youâve been holding, you turned around, and headed for the door but before reaching the silver handle, your father spoke up from behind, âNext week. Youâre attending the corporate event with Euan. Thatâs final.â All you could do was nod.
Chrollo spotted your rather distressed figure exit the elevator, and head for the car park, not so much sparing a glance as you passed him; nonetheless, he quietly trailed you, steely gaze observing your figure up, and downâshoulders tight, and fists clenched at your side.
You felt defeated.
The thought of spending the rest of your life with a man you didnât genuinely love, was that really your so-called future? A bond made for the sole purpose of expanding business?
Stepping into the underground car park, you stopped in your tracks, the automatic glass door silently humming as it closed behind you. Naturally, Chrollo did the same but didnât dare speak up. Click clack. Two clicks from the soles of your shoes as you turned to face your bodyguard with a deflated expression, he could only raise a brow in surprise before you sat on your haunches, and buried your face inside the hearts of your palms.
Oh.
One, two, three secondsâit took Chrollo exactly three seconds to register the sight before him, and he didnât know what to do; awkwardness settled in the air between the two of you as you sobbed into your hands. He moved closerâtaking a few cautious steps as though he walked on eggshellsâand squatted down to your level, âMiss?â He called out, his dulcet voice drowned by your soft whimpers, every muscle in Chrolloâs body was stiff, movements unsure.
What was he supposed to do? Reach out, and stroke your hair? Pull you close against his chest? Chrollo was more than sure that doing so was completely unprofessional on his end. So, he was reduced to sitting next to you, silently watching your shoulders shake with each muffled sob until you finally decided to lift your head, âI apologise for acting this way. Iâm certain you probably donât care butââ
Correct. Chrollo did not care.
âMy father has been pushing me in an arranged marriage. I kept saying ânoâ until he went behind my back, and agreed to it. I found out today and I justâI lost it. The benefits of what comes after marriage are endless for the company; more investors, more money, more security but is that really worth sacrificing my shot at finding the one I truly love?â
Saying the words aloud made it sound so silly. Finding your one true love, how naĂŻve, that only happened in childrenâs fairy tales.
Upon learning the reason for your upset, Chrollo could only nod, he wasnât the type to console anyone, let alone his employerâs daughter. The last time he could remember doing so was almost a decade, and a half ago during the time his dear friendâSarasaâwent missing.
It was a rainy day in Meteor City, Chrollo remembered hugging his friends tightly, reassuring them that everything was going to be alright even though uncertainty gnawed at his skin.Â
He was innocent, and didnât know better then.
But the incident with Sarasa was what fuelled his pure hatred for the wealthy. Chrollo was only a kid, full of limitless joy, and hope despite growing up in poverty. It was during the height of abductions in Meteor City, and that was when he learned that not even his friends were immune from illegal activities after seeing it with his own eyes.
It was broad daylight, and Sarasa had been forced into a car by two large menâas if one wasnât enough to take a helpless little girl. The worst part was, Chrollo could only stand, and watch as his friend got taken away with nothing but helpless tears in his eyes, and a blazing anger that burned a thousand suns.
He could still recall the way his nails dug into the hearts of his palms, the temporary pain it felt. The incident haunted his coming days, hearing Sarasaâs screams at night, and how she begged for the men to spare her life.
Chrollo overheard from the Elders that the ones behind illegal abductions were the wealthy, and that night, he made a promise to avenge Sarasaâeven if it meant taking lives. It was clear the rich were parasites of the world, greedy for money, and power, leaving none behind for the unfortunate.Â
Chrollo couldnât bring himself to understand your situation, and emotionsâhe didnât have to but some odd part made him want to.
From Fridays to Sundays, you usually spent the time out with friends but as the days came, you remained cooped up inside your room, and only came out unless necessary. The thought of isolating yourself somewhat ate away at Chrollo, despite not being able to fully grasp your situation, he figured it must have been a breaking point for you, and deep down, for some weird reason, he was worried.
This was the first time youâve shown him an emotion other than happinessâwhich he presumed was most likely out of professionalismâso seeing your distressed state had him rather curious.
Stationed just outside the doors to your room, Chrollo couldnât do anything to quench the sparked interest inside himâguarding the entrance of your room was all there was to do which ended up with him drowning in his thoughts while standing idly. Even though Chrollo didnât understand your sentiment, he knew no one should marry a stranger for the sake of business.
Though, Chrollo didnât have much time to ponder about your situation as his replacement came walking up the stairs meaning it was the end of his shift for the day. He entertained a brief exchange with his co-worker before heading out.
Walking down the stone path that led to the deserted flower garden, Chrollo dug into the inside pocket of his blazer, and took out a burner phone. As the assassin dialled a number, he was greeted with a view of endless greenery decorated with bright hues from a variety of flowers; the floral aroma wrapped around his body like a fluffy blanket. Somehow, the sweet scent reminded Chrollo of you.
The cheap phone rang once, twice âtil a familiar voice spilled through its speakers, âIâm guessing youâre here to update me?â The male on the other side of the call questioned. Chrollo agreed, and the line went silent, urging him to give the details.
As he gave a thorough update, Chrollo mindlessly walked down the stone path, various colours making its way to his line of vision. Though, a particular flower caught his eyeâa sea of yellow as bright as the morning rays decorated several bushes on the ground. While speaking into the phone, Chrollo squatted down to its level, and examined the delicate flower, Birdâs foot trefoil, the small ivory signage before it read.
Two months, that was the amount of time given to complete the job. It was reasonable enough with the amount of security you were surrounded with, and even though Chrollo was the only bodyguard you took whenever you left the house, Lukas remained by your side as wellâhe made sure not to underestimate the old timer.
Chrollo had never heard of this man before but from what he knew, he seemed to be about the same age. Why the man was seeking out revenge by targeting your life was also something that remained a mysteryâafter all, Chrollo was only there to kill, details werenât necessary when it came to an assassin.
ââM not gonna tell you how to do your job but remember, time is ticking, and Iâm spending a whole lot of money on this, yeah?â
Voicing his agreement before ending the call, he took one last look at the flower, and stood up, heading for the staff house.
It was about time Chrollo hunted for his prey.
With the new week, everyone prepared for the corporate event in a few hoursâeven Chrollo himself, as well as the rest of the security team was busy scouting the venue, and looking for any potential threats around, and inside the building.
Tonight, he donned a sleek, all black look which was slightly different from the usual white button down, and black suit he wore.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, employees, and important investors began pouring in the building; the inside boasted a formal theme with a lavish teardrop crystal chandelier that mimicked the shine of a thousand diamonds, round tables were draped in ivory cloths which housed a bunch of butterfly pea flowers encased in sleek ceramic vases.
Silence was replaced with melodic laughter, and casual conversations between acquaintances, and co-workers as the vast room was slowly filled with more people.
Having arrived at the venue earlier, Chrollo stood by the entrance, waiting for your arrival. As the familiar vehicle rolled around, Lukas exited the vehicle, and opened the rear passenger door.
Expecting you to come out of the vehicle, Chrollo was caught slightly off-guard when a stranger clad in a navy blue tuxedo did so insteadâhe donned obsidian strands that carefully framed his handsome face, and piercing honeyed eyes that was sure to make any woman swoon.
The assassin watched as he turned to face the vehicle, and held out a hand to you. Taking up on the polite offer, you held his hand, and gracefully stepped out of the vehicle. And there you were, in all your serene beauty, skin glowing beneath the warm streetlights that made Chrollo inhale a sharp breath for some odd reason.
âThank you, Euan.â You gave him a smile that didnât quite reach your eyes.
Euan? Chrollo thought.
With how he lovingly kissed the back of your hand, and from the way you forced a smile, it wasnât hard to piece together that this was the man you were forced to marry. Somehow, Chrollo felt a tinge of annoyance spark within the depths of his chestâmaybe because he was aware of the whole arranged marriage situation or maybe because he was yet in the presence of another stuck up, pompous spoiled person.Â
Euan interlaced his fingers with yours before heading towards the entrance, Chrollo didnât miss the way the diamond ring on your finger twinkled like stars in the night sky. Surprisingly, Euan acknowledged Chrollo with a dip of his chin; you mirrored your dateâs action, and only then did the assassin respond in the same way.
The event was boring as one would have expected, your fatherâthe CEOâmostly talked about the companyâs milestones up on the podium, he held a champagne flute in one hand filled with golden liquid while entertaining the room with uneventful accomplishments. Though, what you didnât expect tonight was for your father to openly reveal your arranged marriage with Euan in front of your subordinates, and investors,
âItâs my pleasure to announce that the COO of D&Jâmy daughterâis soon to be wed with Mr. Euan Heston from Heston Enterprises.â
As endless applause, and supportive smiles filled the venue, you sat frozen on your seat, unable to muster even the tiniest smile. From the corner of your vision, you could see Euan bashfully nodding his head, and shaking hands with those in neighbouring tables as they congratulated him. You stared at your father in complete disdain which only prompted a forced smile from him.
Unbelievable.
A shaky breath escaped your lips before swallowing the raging emotions, pushing them down, down, down to the depths of your core, and as though a switch inside you was flipped, a smile stretched across your face, throwing out thank youâs to those who offered their support.
With the end of the CEOâs speech, and certain formalities, all thatâs left was to mix, and mingle with everyone else whichâthankfullyâEuan did while you quietly sneaked away to the open bar. Although, visibly drowning yourself in more champagne only invited more guests to come, and gush about the weighted ring on your finger, not to mention how openly they adored Euan.
Hearing such high praise thrown his way, you caught yourself staring at your soon-to-be husband; you watched as he gracefully waltzed from table to table, engaging in polite conversations with not only the important people in the room but also with your subordinates.
Euan was well-mannered, kind, and respectfulâhe was everything your father wanted as your husband but he wasnât made for you, and deep down, you knew that.
From the corner of the room, Chrollo watched it all unfold. From the way you stiffened beneath everyoneâs stares as your father revealed the marriage, all the way to your gaze finding Euan amongst the crowd. He felt weird.
Albeit subtle, Chrollo sensed it was thereâas though a foreign seed had been planted in his chest waiting for it to grow, and destroy him from inside out. Whether it produced the fruit of anger, revenge or some other emotion in the dictionary, he couldnât tell, all he knew was it took root inside his heart.
As Chrollo got lost in his thoughts for a bit, he was greeted with an empty barstool that was previously occupied by you; he scanned the vast room, stone cold eyes darting from left to right, and right to left trying to catch a glimpse of your familiar figure.
Slight panic didnât settle in until Chrollo realised that you were nowhere to be seenâthe feeling began to gnaw at his very bones as the attempts of finding your whereabouts led to a dead end, he even went as far as asking a woman standing just outside the bathroom if sheâs seen you walk in but only shook her head.
Wide, panicked steps, Chrollo unceremoniously crossed the room in search of you while almost bumping into several guests in a nervous haze; he muttered out whispered apologies, gaze remaining ahead. His heart thumped loudly against his ears, serving as a mere distraction to throw off his already breaking composure.
God, your father would absolutely kill him if he were to find out that heâd lost sight of you.
But Chrollo wasnât scared of that, not even an ounce of fear in his body at the thought of your fatherâs wrath, instead, he worried for your safety; the more minutes passed without a trace of you, the more frustration consumed every fibre of him.
The only option left was to check the balcony.
With a bated breath, he opened the sliding door, a gentle, cool breeze of the night greeted him like a welcome hug. His gaze scanned the open area whichâthankfullyâlanded on your familiar figure, you stood there, leaning against the metal railing while looking up at the obsidian skies.
Relief briefly washed over Chrollo as he let out a sigh but this feeling was soon replaced with red, hot anger.
He stalked over to where you stood, each step heavy with annoyance, âWhere have you been? I was looking all over for you! Donât run off like that.â
The ever calm, and collected bodyguard coming for your neck with such ferocity caught you off guard, not to mention the obvious bite in his tone. With furrowed brows, you turned to face Chrollo, a look of disbelief painted on your face. The audacity of this man. Who the hell was he to boss you around as though you were his subordinate?
âThatâs âmissâ for youââ You crossed your arms, head slightly tilted upwards as you looked down at him from your nose.
âAnd relax, Chrollo. Iâm not harmed. I donât see what the fuss is about.â You were absolutely right, and Chrollo hated that you were because he didnât know where else to channel his anger, if anything, your words doused the flame inside his chest with gasoline, allowing it to expand, and burn an azure fire.
Despite his better judgement, Chrollo let it consume him, âRelax? Iâm your bodyguard, itâs my duty to keep you safe, and out of danger! What if something happens to you, and Iâm not around, hm?â
Chrollo felt the foreign seed inside his chest grow into uncertaintyâan odd feeling heâs never felt before. Speaking out like this, and losing his cool over a situation was out of character for him but somehow, he couldnât bring himself to stop, as though words willingly flew out of his throat, and out into the open.
âExactly, youâre only a bodyguard. You have no right to act this way towards me. Have you forgotten Iâm not your equal?â You retorted, dishing out the same amount of ferocity he had given you.
Initially, you were going to let the whole thing slide, it was understandable where Chrollo was coming fromâhe was only doing his jobâbut it pissed you off seeing as how he had the audacity to act like that.
You looked up at the taller man, gaze not backing down from his steely ones; it took him a couple of seconds to hold your stare before breaking it, and looking off to the dark horizon. Though, you swore you saw his eyes subtly dip down for a split second before doing soâyou werenât too sure, maybe it was the darkness playing tricks.
You were right. Chrollo was only a bodyguard, so did he cross the line? The unclear answer made him all the more furious but for now, heâd have to settle for the explanation that heâs your bodyguard, and he has the right to worry about your safety. Even if Chrollo himself didnât entirely believe this reason.
âYouâre right. I apologise for crossing any boundaries, miss.â
Chrollo stationed himself near the sliding door, offering you space to enjoy the quiet night in peace. Now, you felt kind of bad for raising your voice at him when he clearly showed nothing but concern; you chalked it up to the stress your father weighed upon you tonightâthe decision to tell everyone about the marriage, Euan being your date for tonight, the engagement ring that wrapped around your finger.
It was clear that Chrollo was still bothered about the whole thing, you could see it from the way his jaw tightened, and the subtle crease between his brows. Whatever. Youâll deal with it later.
A petty argument. That was it. But why did it have Chrollo all worked up? Why was he extremely bothered about it? Hell, where was that useless fiancĂ© of yours, and why wasnât he looking after you? Questions swirled in his mind, chaotic, and uncertainânow, Chrollo was really wondering why he was acting this way. In his twenty-six years of living, never had he felt this feeling before, it stemmed from his chest, blooming across his body, and consuming him in an unpleasant, foreign way.
The feeling stayed rooted inside even until reaching the estate where he stood guarding the door to your room.
Chrollo rubbed his forefinger, and thumb together while staring at the marbled tiles beneath his feet, it was past midnight now, and the only sound heard was the thumping of his own heartâthe rhythmic beat that somewhat got louder with each passing minute.
He was soon reeled back into reality at the sound of the door opening behind him. Stepping out of your room, Chrollo watched as the darkness unclasped your body from its confines; he quickly averted his gaze at your vulnerable stateâclad in a flimsy ivory nightgown that stopped just below the knees with satin ribbon straps comfortably sitting on your shoulders. He felt it was rather inappropriate seeing you in such an attire.
âAhem. Anything you need, miss?â Chrollo coughed into his fist, staring at the darkness behind you instead of holding the gaze thrown his way.
Letting out a sigh, you replied, âI think I need to clear my head a bit . . Care to join me for a night drive? That way youâll know my whereabouts.â The end of your sentence had a tinge of bitterness laced with it but Chrollo shrugged it off, itâd be no use trying to pick up where the two of you left off earlier.
âI take it as a yes, then? Meet me at the garage.â With that, you walked down the stairs, the thin fabric of your nightgown swaying with each step taken.
Chrollo quickly headed to the staff house to grab the keys to his assigned vehicle. Making his way to the door, he immediately stopped in his tracks as a sudden idea popped into mindâthe gun hidden beneath his pillows.
Chrollo stared at his bed before swiftly lifting the ivory pillow, revealing a pistol given to him upon acquiring the bodyguard role. Without a word, he tucked it inside the holster beneath the obsidian blazer he donned, and walked out of the bedroom, heading for the garage.
Disappearing into the night, an odd feeling engulfed Chrolloâhe wondered whether the gun on his hip portrayed him as your bodyguard or as your assassin.
Something he has never thought about before because it had always been the latter, regardless of the situation. Nonetheless, the weapon felt awfully heavy hanging onto himâas though it was a great burden that took an even greater effort to get rid of.
The drive was awkward, and there was no set destination; the only instruction you gave Chrollo was to keep driving, and he did, without questions asked. The only sound that filled the vehicle was the low humming of the engine which lulled you further into your thoughts, warm streetlights would illuminate the inside which allowed Chrollo to sneak brief glances at you through the rearview mirror. He didnât want to pry but it was clear you were overwhelmed with a lot of things.
âIâm sorry.â
The apology caught Chrollo off guard, stone cold gaze looking through the mirror to meet your own for a split second. âMiss?â He furrowed his brows. âFor earlier. I said some harsh words as well, and you were only doing your job. So, I apologise.â Now, it was your turn to steal glances through the rearview mirror. Chrolloâs expression remained unchangedâmost likely trying to find an appropriate answer.Â
He shook his head, fully aware you peered at him through the mirror, âItâs no big deal . . It wasnât my place to raise my voice. As you said earlier, Iâm just a bodyguard.â Chrolloâs eyes remained on the road ahead, enveloped by the night, he didnât know why it suddenly became hard to glance through the mirrorâmaybe it was the unmistakable knowledge that youâd be staring straight back.
Was he nervous?
Impossible. There was no such emotion in his dictionary.
âItâs justâthe whole announcing the marriage with Euan in front of all the guests stressed me out. The marriage is set in stone without my permission, and I just feel so helpless . .â You watched the outside view go by, dull colours of the night blending into a blurry haze.
âI know the arrangement has benefits. I know that.â It was directed more to yourself than Chrollo, as though some part of you agreed with the marriage.
âEuan is . . Heâs sweetâa kind soul but I cannot see myself loving him, spending the rest of my life with him.â The assassin gripped the wheel a little tighter at the mention of your fiancĂ©. âI donât think anyone should ever go through that.â He cleared his throat, stealing another glance at you.
âYou mentioned a while agoââ Chrollo spoke up, deciding to deviate the topic from Euan. âThat the marriage would benefit the company âmore securityâ . .â He trailed off, realising how heâs prying but you didnât seem to mind with how openly you replied.
âLong story short, my father had a very close friendâMr. Driscollâin the industry. It was later revealed that he was involved in money laundering so most of his assets came from illegal dealings. My father played a significant role in his arrestâbasically, Driscoll was stupid enough to tell my father of his underground ties, urging him to do it as well. But my father had tipped the police instead. Naturally, his son, Ciaran Driscollâwhoâs now the CEO of the companyâsaw us in a bad light, and it wonât take long until he makes my father pay for the damages done.â
âThe arranged marriage with Euan would obviously combine our security team with theirs which would decrease the chances of Ciaran, and any other dangers from getting near my father, and I.â
Yet Chrollo was hereâan assassin tasked to kill youâwho easily took on the role of your personal bodyguard.
How ironic.
You really did need that extra security from the Hestons.
âCiaran Driscoll?â Chrollo muttered the name under his breath which you quickly caught onto. âYeah. Ciaran Driscoll from Driscoll Pharmaceuticals, you know him?â He wouldnât necessarily say he knew him but Chrollo was awfully familiar with the nameâfamiliar enough to conclude that Ciaran was the one who hired him to kill you.
Despite meeting at a deserted location back thenânowhere near that gave any hints of Ciaranâs real identityâone of his subordinates had addressed him by his last name which Chrollo immediately picked up.
The pieces fit flawlessly. It made sense for Ciaran to get revenge for Mr. Driscollâs arrest by targeting what your father held most dear in his lifeâyou. And for that to happen, Chrollo was the middle man, the one to fuel the chaos between two families.
If he got the job done.
âNo.â Chrollo lied. âJust thought the last name rang a bell.â
âUnderstandable, theyâre a household name. Well, it used to be.â
Short silence filled the vehicle yet again, both left to their own thoughts before you spoke up, albeit, it was more of thinking aloud, âI truly donât know what I want in life.â Odd. Chrollo always thought that if one was wealthy, theyâd be able to wish for anything, and everything yet somehow, even with all the gold in your hands, you were still lost.
Chrollo pitied you, and he didnât know what to make of it.
Hell, he didnât even know whether it was appropriate to reply. What did he know? He was someone born into poverty who didnât have the luxury to question himself about what he wanted in life, just having to see another was already a blessing itself. Well, it wasnât like the outcasts of society were given a choice on how to lead oneâs life anyway.
The car fell in another silence but this time it was much longer, long enough for Chrollo to glance at the rearview mirror to see your eyes closed, and head leaning against the window, the rhythmic rise, and fall of your chest indicating the slumber you were in.
It was almost laughable how Chrollo was able to prove his theory rightâthat the rich were greedy for an even greater amount of money, the obvious example was the ex-CEO of Driscoll Pharmaceuticals, Ciaranâs father.
Chrolloâs grip on the wheel tightened, leather burning against his palms at the mere thought of dirty business. Illegal dealings. It was possible he had a hand in Sarasa's kidnapping. Mr. Driscoll didnât belong in jail, no, he belonged before the barrel of Chrolloâs gun.
Taking another glance at your sleeping form, Chrollo quietly pulled over to the side of the road, putting the car in park before twisting his torso to face you. Warm streetlights casted a gentle glow upon your features, piercing grey eyes carefully tracing each one as though you were a divine creatureâotherworldly, and beautiful.
You looked so peaceful, and undisturbed. Vulnerable.
While his eyes remained on you, Chrollo slowly slid a hand inside his blazer, reaching for the gun affixed by his hip.
The assassin pulled it out, pointing the barrel to your head, the weapon cool against the warmth of his hand. In, and out, he drew steady breaths, forefinger hovering over the triggerâone pull, and itâd be over.
The problem was, Chrollo couldnât do it.
He has pulled the trigger countless times as though it was second nature, so why couldnât he do it now? He couldnât even bring himself to let his digit touch it.
As you stirred in your sleep, Chrollo swiftly tucked the gun back in his holster, and faced forward. Shaky, uneven breaths slipped past his parted lips, the sound of his heartbeat clouding his senses.
Hands balling into fists, he wondered what had gotten into him, mind racing with a million thoughts as he drowned in pure uncertainty. Chrollo stared at his handsâthe same hands that have spilled blood countless times, the same hands that killed without a second thought, the same hands that were tasked to murder you.
Yet here he was, unable to do so as if it were his first time.
âChrollo?â You mumbled aloud. As you peeled your eyes open, you tried to register your surroundings. âWhy did we stop? Is there something wrong?â
He cleared his throat, taking a quick glance through the rearview mirror before shaking his head, âNo, miss. I just had to take a quick call, my apologies.â With that, Chrollo pulled away from the side of the road, taking you back to the estate.
The ride home was silent. Fortunately for Chrollo, this gave him the opportunity to calm his thoughts, and steady his growing breaths.
Obviously this has never happened before, especially while out on a mission; it made sense for the assassin to lose his cool a bit after hesitating. If anything, it was akin to a bird suddenly losing the ability to fly when flying was the only thing it knew. To make things worse, Chrollo had just broken the unspoken rule of the underworldâto never hesitate.
To the underworld, hesitating meant fragility, and fragility meant that the enemy had the upper hand. He was confused, and conflicted, more so upset at himself for being such a cowardâwhy was he a coward?
After returning to the estate, you softly called out to Chrollo who was heading to the staff house, âDo you want to come inside?â All it took was that foreign look in your face for him to fully understand what you meant.
He didnât have to assume anythingâyouâve never looked at Chrollo with such a burning gaze, full of intent, and vulnerability. God, it was a brazen move to do so but you wished he agreed. All you needed was a little company at the moment.
Something in the air shifted. Maybe it was because you were both stripped of your layers, baring your defenceless forms out in the open. Maybe it was the way Chrolloâs rational thinking became compromised on the way home. Or maybe it was how you oddly felt comfortable around his presence, as though he was a lifelong friend.
Nonetheless, Chrollo found himself inside your bedroom, and as expected, it was grand, spacious, fit for a billionaireâs daughter. Sweet aroma of fresh chrysanthemumâs filled the air but it was nothing like he had remembered back in Meteor City which was laced with grief, and sorrow. Instead, it enveloped Chrollo in a warm welcoming hug, he could finally understand your interpretation of chrysanthemumsâdevoted love, and loyalty.
Moonlight spilled from the windows, illuminating the side of Chrolloâs face. He was just standing there yet he mirrored the divinity of an angel as soft shadows contoured his handsome face, dark eyes gleaming beneath the dulcet glow; youâve never been able to decipher the emotions behind his gaze but tonight was different, his stare was soft mixed with hint of uncertainty; Chrollo wore his heart on his sleeves.
âHelp me escape even for a little while.âÂ
Like the obedient bodyguard he was, he nodded. Chrollo took one step closer, reaching out a hand to gently undo one of the satin ribbon straps. The flimsy fabric gracefully slid off your right shoulder, just enough to expose your pert nipple. It hardened beneath the cool evening air which had Chrollo swallowing thickly, Adamâs apple bobbing with pure excitement, and hunger; oh, how he couldnât wait to put his lips on your skin, and devour you.
Wasting no time to undo the other ribbon strap, your nightgown instantly fell to the carpeted floors, the fabric pooling around your feet, leaving you almost completely bare in front of Chrollo.
Your skin grew feverish beneath his observant stare as he traced every dip, and curve, dark eyes gleaming with anticipation. After a heartbeat or two, Chrolloâs lips were on your skin, palms finding home just above your waist; he placed gentle kisses down the side of your neck as though on a mission to mark you, pulling dainty gasps in the process.
You tasted absolutely divineâlike a hopeful prayer between his lips, and he craved for more. Soft smacks slowly filled your ears as he praised you with kisses. Down, down, down Chrolloâs lips went before stopping at the junction of your neck, he gave the sensitive skin an experimental lick to which you responded with a heated gasp of his name.
Tilting your head to the side allowed more freedom for Chrollo to explore; hands coming up to tangle with his raven strands, and tug at it urged him to mark your skin with hues of dark purple, and red.
And he did. Gentle, wet kisses turned into rough, electric ones as Chrollo used both teeth, and tongue to nip, and suck at your skin.
âChrolloâ!âÂ
The assassin could only grunt in response as he carved himself onto your skin like knife on woodâover, and over again âtil it left a lasting mark. And when you stare at these sinful hues in the mirror, youâd be reminded of the feel of his lips, how his kisses turned your legs into a wobbly mess, and mind into a lustful haze.
Embarrassing, warm wetness pooled on the fabric of your panties as Chrollo neared your breasts, you watched with a bated breath, and keen eyes as he wrapped his lips around a moundâthe sinful sight of Chrollo trying to take in as much of it as he could had your legs buckling, you were sure to have met the floor if it werenât for his firm hold.
You let out a soft moan at the feel of his hot tongue swirling around your nipple, teeth gently grazing the sensitive spot which sent lightning down the length of your spine.
Eager hands tugged at the roots of his obsidian strands, nails raking across his scalp; it was beyond lewd how you readily pushed your bare body into Chrolloâs faceâa man youâve only known for less than a month yet here he was, wicked lips made of fire against your naked skin that melted like ice.
A large hand snaked its way up your front, leaving goosebumps in its wake, and pausing just beneath the other breast before cupping it whollyâthe heart of his palm rubbing against your sensitive nipple as he massaged, and toyed with the fat.
Without an ounce of shame left in inside you, you wantonly moaned his name at the feel of his lips, and hand making love to your chest, it had Chrollo twitching in his slacks but he paid no mind to it because tonight was about ravishing your body until no one else could compareânot even Euan Heston.
Chrollo didnât know what this meant for the both of you after but that was okay because once the night ends, your body would crave for none but him, and only him.
Chrollo let go of your swollen, wet breast with a soft pop, he looked up through his lashes before licking his lips, as though he just devoured the tastiest meal of his life.
Working his way down your torso, he placed chaste kisses down the valley of your breasts, steadily sinking to his knees as he descended further, each passing second growing closer to your heatâwhere you needed him the most.
Before Chrollo could kiss the intimate spot just below your belly button, you cupped his face, making him look up at you with slight confusion,
âOn the bed . .â
Three words was all he needed to understand before standing to his full height, âJump.â Chrollo ordered. You didnât need to be told twice before doing so, arms, and legs wrapping around him while he supported your weight.
As Chrollo sauntered to the bed, you used the time to eagerly explore the spot beneath his ear, using teeth, and tongue to suck at it which pulled a few soft sighs from him. His intoxicating scent filled your senses, the sweet minty aroma from chrysanthemums mixed with his musky perfume had you groaning into his skin.
He shuddered at the feeling, the tips of his fingers digging further into the fat of your ass.
Gently laying you down on the pillows beneath, he stared at the serene beauty before him, steely eyes drinking in your nakedness. Chrolloâs stare felt like you stood directly under the blazing sun on a summer day, igniting your skin to the core without anywhere to take cover but you liked it, you liked the feeling of his hungry stare, how he looked at you like fresh meat on a silver platterâa predator, and his prey.
As if to put on a show, Chrollo hastily shrugged off his blazer, mindlessly throwing it on the floor, leaving him with a white button down. He caught a glimpse of your lust-clouded gaze staring at the gun affixed to his hip to which he immediately removed by unclasping the holster.
The weapon landed on the floor with a heavy thud, you paid no mind to it but for Chrollo, it served as a harsh reminder of his real motive, and everything that would happen tonight was nothing but an insignificant moment in his life.
At least that's what he convinced himself this was.
The mattress groaned beneath Chrolloâs weight as he dipped down, wasting no time to connect his lips on your bare skin, and picking up where he left offâright below your belly button.
He kissed at it before wickedly pulling the waistband of your panties using his lips, and letting go of it to snap against your skin. A small gasp escaped your lips at the feel of the slight burning sensation which had you aching for more; it also didnât help how his hot breath ghosted over the most intimate part of your body.
Though, before you could open your mouth, and beg, Chrollo hooked a forefinger around the waistband, and swiftly tugged it down the length of your legs, wet cunt squeezing at nothing as the cool air embraced its heat. Â
Chrollo took his time to enjoy the bare sight before him by placing open-mouthed kisses dangerously near your sopping cuntâon your inner thighs, below your belly button, and the spot just above your clit. It had your eyes rolling to the back of your head, fingers digging into the sheets beneath; what a wicked, wicked man, he hasnât even properly touched you yet here you were, legs shaking from all the teasing.
Pride bloomed across his chest at the sight of youâthe fucked out expression you donned, the heavy rise, and fall of your chest, and the dainty whimpers that filled the air.
Hooking his hands behind your knees, Chrollo gently pushed them towards your chest âtil you were folded in half, glistening cunt deliciously exposed for him to devour.
A wanton moan slipped past your lips as Chrollo traced his tongue around the outside of your clit before laying the wet muscle flat against it. He expertly rubbed at the sensitive nub, lewd sounds mixed with your shameless moans engulfed his ears, encouraging him to further stimulate the spot.
Your hips bucked against his face, hands flying down to his hair as the electric sensation returned to your body, sending massive jolts of lightning down the curve of your spine.
âChrollo, right there! Yesâhaah!â You gasped as he switched to the tip of his tongue to lick at your clit.Â
Chrollo placed his thumb, and forefinger on either side of your clit for better access before moving his tongue side-to-side, across the area beneath the clitoral hood, resulting in a broader stimulation that had you stiffening with pure pleasure.
Looking down at the sinful view between your legs, you let out a loud moan as Chrollo met your eyes through his hooded ones. Without a doubt, ecstasy slowly consumed both his body, and mind with how he subtly rocked his hips against the mattressâcock aching for any kind of contact but Chrollo had to focus more on holding your hips down while you unceremoniously thrashed around, trying to slow your impending orgasm.
As Chrollo continued his torture, it didnât take long for you to let pleasure consume your body as a whole, and cum on his tongue.
He drank in your pleasured stateâlips parted, brows furrowed, and back arched off the mattress; the orgasm that hit you was intense, as though your whole body has been electrified, and the only way to respond was by moaning his name like a sacred prayer in hopes you keep you grounded to reality.
Relishing the taste of your essence on his tongue, he closed his eyes, humming against your sensitive nub in complete satisfaction which had your legs shaking, and hands attempting to push his head away. He gave a few more gentle licks before pulling away, revealing his chin completely drenched in your filthy arousalâChrollo paid no mind, simply bringing a hand up to his face to wipe at it.
You watched through a lustful haze as Chrollo finally worked on his shirt, each button undone growing closer, and closer to exposing the entirety of his torso.
As he shrugged the fabric off, you couldnât help but reach out to touch his bare skinâit was pale, fascinatingly chiselled, and scarred; Chrolloâs torso was decorated with a few raised, discoloured patches here, and there indicating the rough past he had. He stared as you traced a scar with your forefingerâa ghostly touch that brought a shudder down his spineâbut before you could move onto the next one, Chrollo gently grabbed your wrist, and brought it up to his face, placing a chaste kiss on the heart of your palm.
By no means was he insecure about those scars, in fact, he proudly wore them like a badge, to serve as a reminder that the rest of the world wasnât his friend.
Youâd be lying to yourself if you said your heart didnât skip a beat or two.
The kiss from Chrollo was differentâdifferent from the one Euan had given you during the company event. Yes, the latter was full of sincerity but it didnât bring warmth to your face like Chrolloâs one had.
Or maybe it was just because of how lost you were in pure lust, unable to decipher even the simplest feelings.
âTonight is all about you.â
Chrollo shouldnât be doing this, it goes against his beliefs, and goalsâagainst the very reason why he turned into the person who he was right now.
Mingling with the wealthy, even going to an extent as to have sex with you, if his younger self saw him right now, he wouldnât be able to believe it.
But what was it about you that had Chrollo rewriting his rules? Why was he so willing to throw away the deep rooted anger inside his heart to pleasure you?
Moreso, what did he gain from all this?ânot money, not power, definitely not the justice he sought.
Nonetheless, Chrollo threw those thoughts in the moonlit windowâheâd grab them again later at the crack of dawn while guilt eats him alive. Slowly, he dipped his hands below his torso, fumbling with the zipper of his slacks; Chrollo felt your heated stare on his crotch, how your short breaths quickened as he tantalisingly pulled the metal zip down, the sound echoed along with your breathing, allowing Chrollo to bask in your desperation.
You thanked the stars above as he bared himself without anymore teasing, articles of clothing that once hugged his body were now strewn across the floor of your room like unmended pieces of oneself.
Moonlight surrounded Chrollo like a serene aura, an angelic-like glow that had his skin radiating beneath the celestial gleam, turning his hair into the colour of the first starlight. It was hard to focus on his heavenly appearance when sin was right between his legs.
âDo you want me to stop?âÂ
No, god, no, just the thought of Chrollo completely leaving you high, and dry brought tears to your eyes. Shaking your head vigorously, he crawled atop your lust-fuelled body before placing a chaste kiss on your temple then onto your nose, trailing further down âtil he reached the valley of your breasts. You let out a shudder as Chrollo lapped his way down, not forgetting to tease at your pebbled nipples by giving them a light nip.
âChrollo, please . .â For once, this was different from what was usually thrown his wayâmost people begged for their lives as they stared down the barrel of his gun with pure horror in their eyes, lips disturbingly quivering as they pleaded during their last moments.
Wasting no time, Chrollo met your gaze once more, his face mere centimetres from yours. You gasped as his cockhead gently prodded at your entrance as he reached down between your bodies, he rubbed it a few more times, the sinful contact earning low grunts, and moans from both of you.
Chrollo connected his forehead with yours, damp obsidian hair ghosting over your warmed cheeks, holding it in a gentle caress
Letting out a shaky breath, his cock slowly pushed your folds apart as he inched in. Immediately, your legs curled around the dip of his bare waist, interlocking behind his lower back; your hasty movement jolted Chrollo forward which forced his cock further into the plush of your velvety walls.
He sighed, cursing the eye rolling pleasure sent his body into a pathetic tremble. Though, you were no better, clenching around Chrollo every time he pushed deeperânot only did it test his sanity but it also tested his patience.
He reminded himself a million times that simply fucking you like a mere cocksleeve was not his intention for tonight. Or ever. Rich or not, you were still a woman after all, one deserving of nothing but genuine pleasure.
As Chrollo bottomed out, he held your starry gaze, watching as your eyes glistened with tearsâwhether it was from the bliss his cock had you under or from sadness, he had no idea.
You felt so full, as though the gaping void inside you had been magically sealedâhis cock sat there unmoving yet it hit all the right spots, the ones that had you trembling a little harder, and moaning a little louder.
Hot breaths mingled as the two of you let out heavy pants, he stilled inside your wet cunt, allowing both himself, and you to adjust to the feeling, âYouâre so tightâfuck.â You gave your hips an experimental rut at his words which pulled a long hiss from him, brows furrowing together.
After a heartbeat or two, Chrollo slowly pulled out, the languid drag of his cock against the plush of your walls had you whining in the shape of his name. It went straight to his cock, twitching at the pornographic sound you let outâif you noticed, you didnât let on, you were too focused on the way he moved inside you.
With only the tip remaining, Chrollo pushed his hips using the same pace; all the way until he disappeared in your folds once again, heavy balls kissing the skin of your ass.
You could feel the entirety of his lengthâevery dip, and curve which had your legs shaking, and toes curling a little harder. Chrolloâs cock was slightly curved upward which allowed an easy reach to your sweet spot, and with every languid thrust he gave you, his cockhead kissed it repeatedly.
Hands that were pinned to the pillows were released as Chrollo brought a hand to caress your cheek while the other supported his weight. You leaned into his fiery touch, as if doing so was going to ground you from cloud nine.Â
Setting a deep, slow pace, Chrolloâs face remained a breath away from yoursâhe kept eye contact, nothing but an endless pit of alluring onyx that pulled you further into the ocean of bliss. Every languid stroke pulled oxygen from your lungs, it had you desperately gasping for air, one which only Chrollo could quench by whispering sweet nothings mere inches from your parted lips.
Mixed with breathless sighs of pleasure was the soft creaking of the bed frame which sung in unison beneath the weight of your rocking bodies. The air grew impossibly thick, and hot allowing the sheets to stick uncomfortably to your bare back but you didnât care, not when Chrollo fucked you into the mattress as if the sun was going to burn out tomorrow.
You pulled him closer, arms instinctively wrapping around his torso to decorate his back with crimson streaks.
The sharp sting of your nails fuelled Chrolloâs driveâhe picked up the pace but remained bottoming out with every powerful thrust, causing your body to jolt in response.
You clung to him tighter, legs painfully locked behind his back as he did his best to move in, and out of your sopping cunt. You were close, and despite Chrollo taking you for the first time, he knewâhe could feel your body stiffen with each passing second, the way your greedy cunt grew impossibly tighter, making it hard for him move, and not to mention your broken cries of his name so close to his ears that those were all he could hear.
âIâm so nearâgod, please donât stop, Chrolloâ!â You sounded so vulnerable, so bare it made his cock twitch.
Greed consuming his pleasured state, Chrollo wrapped an arm around your shoulders, deftly snaking it between the mattress, and your back. He pulled you closer, the weight of your limp torso straining against his curled limb while the other supported his own body.
Chrollo cradled your head with his palm, pushing your face closer to his âtil the tip of his nose brushed your own. Oh, how tempted he was to kiss the very lips that cried out his name as if he were your saving graceâan angel with his hand stretched out to you.
Barely a whisper above the heavy breaths you exchanged, your name smoothly rolled off his tongue. It was the first time Chrollo did so, and god how addictive it sounded; you shuddered at it, his dulcet voice engulfing the entirety of your being right down to your very core.
âYouâve been so good, are you going to cum? To let go, for me?â
With the minute space left between the two of you, you vigorously nodded your head, too fucked to care about the desperation that seeped from your skin like sweat. Chrollo moaned at your wordless response, fingers slightly curling at the back of your head, his nails dragging across your scalp,
âHaahâ! Thatâs right, give in to it.â
And you did.
With a final drive of his hips, you came undoneâthe pressure thatâs been slowly building up finally bursting inside you.
A broken moan escaped your lips, body arching closer to his as you let your orgasm take you beyond cloud nine.
As if you werenât already breathless from panting like a whore, Chrollo greedily pressed his lips against your quivering ones to capture them in a passionate kiss.
His lips were soft, and sensual, like it was sculpted by the goddess of love herself. He greedily drank in every moan, and whimper you had to offer, claiming them as his own prized possession to keep. Chrolloâs pace faltered at the feel of your cum coating his cock in a warm embraceâa feeling heâs been deprived off, a feeling he didnât know he needed.
Pulling away from the kiss, he spoke, breathless, âIâm closeâfuck. Where do yââ âInside.â Chrollo swallowed thickly with your legs tightening around him. It dizzied him, the thought of you so willing to let your insides be marked by him without a second thought.
A small gasp escaped you as he gently set you down onto the mattress, his cockhead brushing your sensitive spot. With his orgasm near, Chrollo dropped his body on top of your own, torsos flush against each other as he trapped you with his weight.
With his own pleasure in mind, Chrollo gave short, hasty thrusts, desperately rutting his hips to chase the growing bliss. The only option for you was to lay there, and moan his name from overstimulation; with his weight on yours, you couldnât squirm your way out of the immense pleasure.
âIâm hereângh! âM close.â Chrollo whispered into your ear, a hint of apology laced his tone, most likely from how overstimulated you were.
After a few more desperate thrusts, he stilled, sheathing his cock all the way inside your cunt, you felt him twitch before releasing his load with a low moan.Â
Feeling his hot cum paint your walls white, you mirrored the sound he made. Loud, wet squelches filled the room as Chrollo rode out his high, effectively fucking his cum deeper.
The two of you stayed still for a moment, letting your bodies bathe in serene moonlight. You laid beneath him, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat pound away against his ribcage, it effectively lulled you to the borders of sleep, your heavy eyelids slowly closing in exhaustion.
Though, before you could fully close them, Chrollo rolled off your body with a soft grunt, his cock slipping out in the process. The loss of contact had you clenching around nothing at the feel of his cum slowly seeping out of your cunt. Before you could speak up, Chrollo beat you to it,
âI should go.â He cleared his throat, voice low, a hint of sadness laced in his tone. Though, you didnât catch on. Chrollo quietly gathered his clothes, putting them on layer by layer until he was fully clothed. An indiscernible emotion washed over you as he made his way to the door, each quiet step taken tugging at an invisible string tangled in your heart. Oddly enough, it stung.
âYeah . .â You nodded in a daze.
The lack of response from your end tore at Chrolloâs insidesâit made sense, after all, he was nothing but a quick fuck, what did he expect? For you to convince him to stay the night? That was beyond delusional.
As Chrollo reached for the handle, you called his name out of instinct. His heart skipped a beat. âYes, miss . . ?â He spoke your title in a small voice, unsure which name was appropriate in this situation.
âThank you.â
That was all you could muster. What else was there anyway? Chrollo wasnât a person you were supposed to be sleeping with in the first place, nor was he your lover who you could be intimate with after sex.
He was nothing but a bodyguard, and will remain your bodyguard. Whatever happened in this room was to be forgotten.
The sound of the door clicking reached your ears, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. His scent lingered in the air, becoming one with the sweet aroma of chrysanthemums.
Within the next coming days, you were right, and wrong. Right because in the face of others, the professional relationship between you, and Chrollo remainedâa bodyguard, and his principal.
Wrong because stupidly enough, the both of you had not forgotten what happened a couple of nights back. The days were filled with stolen glances, and stuttering heartbeats, you couldnât stand by idly while your heart yearned for your bodyguard.
At first, you convinced yourself that this feeling was purely lust-driven, it was only natural to seek out Chrolloâs presence after a night with him.
You believed it for a week.
One whole week until you felt your heart clenching at the sight of your bodyguard exchanging a conversation with one of the maids. Chrollo was all smiles, the kind that reached his eyes; the maid wasnât any better, an obvious blush extending from her cheeks to her ears said it all.
He never smiled at you like that.
Why was he treating youâhis bossâany different? Chrollo was always nonchalant with you, barely any words spoken yet here he was animatedly cracking jokes left, and right like he had some kind of alter ego. It pissed you off.
More so, being angry at the fact that Chrollo treated you differently upset you even more. At best, this was a trivial matter, something you shouldnât even think about.Â
But you couldnât let go of it, not when he gazed at you the same way he had done so that night.
Within the next week, youâd realise that merely having Chrollo by your side wasnât enough.
On Monday, you did your best to converse with him while buying chrysanthemums at the boutique, even going as far as giving him a flower from your bouquet, hoping that heâd think of you whenever he looked at it.
On Wednesday, instead of asking your personal assistant to grab your lunch, you took Chrollo instead, and headed out the office which gave you more alone time with him.Â
And by Friday, you couldnât take it anymore. You called Chrollo into your bedroom late at night after finding the courage to do so. Naturally, he stood inside as if he didnât have you filling the room with your own moans two weeks ago.
The familiar sweet scent of chrysanthemums filled his lungs, taking him back to the pleasure-filled night with you. Chrollo pushed the thought down, deeming it extremely inappropriate, especially being alone with you like this, again.
He swallowed as you pat the empty spot next to you, your vulnerable state beckoning him to devour you. Who was he to deny himself of acting on his predatory instincts?Â
âThis is . . rather unprofessional, miss.â
That was the last thing he said before he found himself sitting on the edge of your bed, kissing you like he loved you. Did he? Large hands cupped your jaw, eagerly pulling you closer to his face. Even though Chrollo didnât bare his heart, the zeal behind his kisses revealed the truth hidden in his chest.
Both lips fell into a unison, slotting into each other like they were made for one another. Before getting carried away, Chrollo pulled back, brows lifting in amusement as he watched the way your face leaned in, searching for his lips.
âWhatâWhat about Mr. Euan?â He asked, breathless, onyx strands dishevelled, courtesy of your wandering hands.Â
You both knew you didnât have feelings for Euan but saying it aloud wasnât going to change the fact that a ring sat on your finger, it was far more complicated than that.
Lowering your gaze, you shrugged. Guilt picked at your skin, the thought of disrespecting Euan had you freezing in place. âIâm sorry. I shouldnât be prying.â Chrollo whispered, hot breath fanning across your face. He tucked a strand behind your ear before sliding his digit down to your chin, lifting your face.
âKiss me?â
You didnât have to be told twice.
What the two of you had wasnât exactly a relationshipâbeyond a professional relationship but less than a romantic one. But Chrollo cared for you all the same, even if it meant watching in the sidelines as Euan made his polite advancesâkiss on your cheek, a hand on the small of your back, his fingers tucking stray hairs aside, Chrollo endured it all. Whether or not it affected him, he didnât let on.
Instead, he returned affection tenfold in comparison to what Euan gave you. Your room had turned into a rendezvousâevery night, behind its closed doors, Chrollo took you in his arms, and whisked you away from reality, from all the inhibitions you felt. And amidst all the meaningful conversations, the shared pleasure, the tears shed, a bond deeper than one could comprehend blossomed within these walls.
Chrollo became a rock you could lean onâa significant person you could be vulnerable with, and bare your heart on the table, unguarded. He listened to your problems, and silly thoughts with open arms, and ears, stroking your hair beneath the moonlight as the two of you lay underneath the ivory sheets.
With you, he was a completely different person, a person who he deserved to become. One that could relate to the little joys in lifeâwhether it be chasing sunsets, dipping salty fries in vanilla ice cream or looking up at the night sky without any remorse in one's heart.
With you, Chrollo had a fleeting glimpse of the life he was robbed of because all he knew was how to survive for another dayâhow to kill swiftly, and effectively.
And heâd be reminded of all these when returned to his own quarters in the dead of the night. That the sole purpose of his arrangement in this estate was to take you outânot to nurture a bond with you, not to have sex with you, not to listen to all your thoughts, no. Chrollo was here as your assassin.
To hold you so gently in his hands knowing they would be the same ones covered in your blood. It was almost laughable, it surprised Chrollo how heâa person conditioned to destroyâwas able to touch you with the utmost gentleness as if heâs never once tasted violence on his tongue.
Clearly, you both felt something for one another but acting on it was easier said than doneânot to mention how this mission wasnât supposed to end up like this, all tangled up in a web known as you.Â
Did Chrollo love you? Truth be told, he didnât know. He never had the privilege of experiencing what romantic love was. Wanting to be by your side was the only thing he was certain of.
Lying in bed, Chrollo looked over at his nightstand, it housed a singular piece of chrysanthemum soaked in a glass of waterâone that you had given him earlier this week. Now, his room smelled just like yours, the flowerâs sweet aroma lingering in the air.
It helped Chrollo sleep a little better; smelling its familiar scent tricked his mind into thinking he slept in your presence.
A little over a week.
That was how much time Chrollo had left to get the job done assigned by Ciaran. It wasnât long, and he knew he had to make the decision soon but not before taking a gamble.
As Saturday arrived, you stuck to your routine as usual, the only difference was, the late night was spent driving around with Chrollo.
The atmosphere inside the vehicle grew thicker by the minute, he could tell something weighed your mind from the way you pursed your lips, and fidgeted with the hem of your shirt. But of course, the ever polite man he was, he waited âtil you opened up to himâChrollo knew you like the back of his hand, whenever things bothered you to an extent, it didnât take long for you to break.
âCan I tell you something?â You murmured above the hum of the engine. Staring to the side, you watched as Chrollo wordlessly nodded his head, stealing a brief glance your way before focusing on the wheel. He took notice of how you sat on the front passenger seat instead of your usual spot.
Looking out the window, you spoke up, âI . . donât know how to deal with all this.â Chrollo remained silent, urging you to continue. âIâm going to be married to a man I donât love, and Iâll be running a company I donât want. And us. I want you, Chrollo, I really do but I . .â
Chrolloâs grip tightened around the wheel.
âWhy donât we just run away, and leave all this behind? We can build a new life together andââÂ
âIs that what you want? To run away with me?â Chrollo cut you off. Coming to a full stop at the red lights, he turned to you, the seriousness in his expression made you somewhat nervous.
Would it be foolish of him to comfort you with words he partially meant?âwords that would only hurt you in the end?
âI can give you that.â
At this point, Chrollo was lying to himself. To be so brazen, and accept running away with you knowing well enough his neck was chained to the undergroundâloyal to his roots.
Weighing the options, it was crystal clear that the odds were against the both of you. Of course, you didnât know that, you had absolutely no idea Chrollo had underground ties nor was he assigned to kill you by none other than Ciaran.
Considering the latterâs involvement in underground business, you wouldnât be the only one with a target on their back; it only made sense for Ciaran to put a hit on Chrollo as well for disobeying his orders if he were to consider running away. It would elicit a whole lot of enemies, and he couldnât put you in a situation where he was willing to risk you dying in someone elseâs hands.Â
Living a life hiding from dangers of the worldâthatâs what you would have to go through if you, and Chrollo were to run away. Did you really deserve to live that way? Did you deserve to live in the conditions Chrollo tried to run away from?
The answer was more than obvious.
Obviously, a life with Euan benefitted you moreâyouâd have more stability, and security. Who was he to take away all those things from you?
Having never tasted something as sweet as this feeling with you, Chrollo found himself holding tighter rather than letting go, he fed on greed, and delusion.Â
Truth be told, it tore him apart. A part of him cursed, and yelled at him for being so naĂŻve, and easily moved by a woman he had only known for a month and a halfânot to mention how he despised your kind.
The other part urged him to reach for the unthinkable, and build a new life he deserved, with you. Chrollo was ready to lay his weapon down if it meant being by your side âtil the end of time.
Maybe in another life.
He knew he had to make a decision. Soon. Ciaran had been making calls to his burner more often than not, and he could sense the formerâs patience growing thinner, and thinner as each day turned into night.
Whatever Chrolloâs decision was, he just hoped youâd still love him all the sameâforgive him.
There was one crucial piece of information Chrollo had remembered. On Sundays, you dismissed all security staff that accompanied you, including the chauffeur, Lukas. This meant that for one day, you were completely unguarded, and alone.
Chrollo was unaware of the reason but it was obvious you wanted to experience a sense of independence one way or another.
Nonetheless, he managed to keep an eye on you by using an ample amount of distanceâit was a piece of cake, after all, he tracked his targets in stealth mode for a living; akin to a predator sizing up its prey before sinking its canines.
Sundays werenât particularly eventful, you spent the day alone running around swiping your credit card left, and right until it made you feel a tad better. So when Chrollo had âaccidentallyâ bumped into you at the parking lot, hidden from public cameras, he was aware of how effortless it was to whisk you away from the public.
âChrollo? What brings you here?â
The bodyguard was dressed in his usual attire, a white button down neatly tucked beneath his black slacks, and this time, he didnât wear a blazer.
âI figured youâd be here, miss. Something came up at the estateâyouâre needed back home.â A lie.
Chrollo observed as the sparkle in your eyes drained at his words, genuine concern rolling in like grey clouds looming above on a stormy night. His heart clenched. Not in a good way. âDonât worry, no one is hurt.â With his reassurance, your shoulders dropped with ease, the breath youâve been holding slipped past your lips in a relieved sigh.
It pained the assassin how trusting you were, how easily one could play you into the palm of their hand the same way he did right now. Why?âwhy didnât you question how effortlessly Chrollo pinpointed your exact location? The city was expansive, no normal person would be able to trace your steps unless they followed right from when you left the estate.
The vehicle was quiet, leaving room for Chrollo to notice the faint scent of chrysanthemums insideâit was your personal car, not the one Lukas used to drive you around hence the flowery aroma.
For some odd reason, the smell no longer comforted him the same way it did whenever he frequented your room. It made him nauseous. If Chrollo was to put it in words, the aroma smelled of sweet death, and it reminded him of the church back in Meteor City.
Consumed by concern, and lost in your own thoughts, you paid no attention to your surroundings outside, how it grew less, and less familiar with each kilometre driven by your bodyguard. You also didnât notice Chrollo repeatedly stealing glances through the rearview mirror every now, and then, missing the way his steely gaze housed a hint of nervousnessâan emotion he didnât normally harbour.
Though, as you finally came to, you gazed out the window, eyes carefully scanning the fleeting hues outside as the car drove by. Soft colours of pinks, and oranges seeped through the glass which casted an ethereal glow inside, it hinted at the setting sun, and the darkness that loomed just around the corner. As your brain registered the foreign roads, confusion settled in,Â
âAre we taking a detour, Chrollo?â
He wordlessly nodded. You mirrored his action in acknowledgement but the feeling of unease was oddly difficult to dismiss, especially with how deserted these roads were. The streets were decorated with construction sites, abandoned buildings, and old houses that were decorated with wooden planks to seal off windows, and entrances.
A weird feeling settled in the pit of your stomach. You caught the way Chrolloâs stone cold gaze locked with yours for a split second but didnât dare speak up.
Just as your heart started to race, the vehicle came to a halt, Chrollo had parked in front of an abandoned buildingâan old church, based on its architecture. Its unmistakable pointed roof aiming at the skies above, and stained glass windows marked with angels, and other holy beings said it all.
The building was surrounded by overgrown greenery, and wrecked furniture dumped on the side which hinted at years of apparent neglect. Its dressed stone walls were the epitome of sacrilege itself, littered with colourful vandalism from top to bottom; even just seeing it with your own eyes felt like a grave sin. A forbidden image.
âWhatââ âGet out.â Chrollo cut you off. For a tone so cold you couldâve swore a subtle shudder ran down the length of your spine. His stare met your own through the mirror for a second time and your heart sank all the way down to your stomach at how serious he was, dread slowly engulfing your body. What the hell was happening!? Why was Chrollo acting strangely?
âNo.â
Chrollo turned to face you, still wearing that stoic expression. You felt small under his gaze, it almost felt predatoryânoânot almost, it did; you didnât want to admit but you caught a glimpse of the way his eyes sparkled with sharp, murderous intent.
Swallowing thickly, you crossed your arms, trying to appear nonchalant, albeit, it was more for yourself than for the man before you.
âNot until I get an answer. You mentioned something had come up at the estate, so why arenât weââ âI lied.â
Before you could question his motives, Chrollo swiftly got out, the resounding thud as he shut the door closed had your body flinching a bit. You watched as he rounded the car, and made his way just before your door.
Opening it, a hand reached in for your wrist; gentle fingers curled around your skin as if you were a delicate flowerâa daring contrast from the way his piercing gaze stabbed shards of unease throughout your body.
You pulled away, easily slipping off Chrolloâs placid grasp before helping yourself out of the vehicle. His hand curled into a loose fist as he watched you exit the car with an evident scowl on your face; funnily enough, Chrollo had the audacity to feel upset at the rejection. Never once have you denied his touch.
Crossing the narrow clearing that led to the unsealed church entrance, chunks of loose stone, and dirt moved beneath your steps; you stared at your feet as they navigated through the unstable terrain.
It was odd. Calm, and composed were the last two things you should be feeling in this situation, given the sudden shift in Chrolloâs demeanour, you were supposed to be fearing for your life right this instance despite your blindness to the hidden danger that lay ahead.
Chrollo . . He would never do that to you, right? Upon taking the job, he swore to protect you. But your better judgement screamed at all the glaring crimson coloured flagsâan abandoned church in a deserted neighbourhood? It was the perfect set up for heinous crimes.
Out of instinct, you scanned the layout of the building from where you stood, if it came down to it, there was only one viable escape route which was through the main entrance of the church, the one Chrollo pulled open.
By now, the sun had fully disappeared below the horizon, and the colourful remnants the burning star left in its wake slowly faded into deep hues of night azure. Strangely, this end of the town harboured harsher winds with a freezing bite that had you rubbing your arms over the sleeves of your top.
A heavy groan sounded from the mahogany doors, it cut through the windâs endless howl as it danced with the leaves, and through the sharp branches, interlocking trees in a soft sway.
A chill ran down your spine at the loudness of it. The doors parted revealing a view youâd expect in an old abandoned churchâdisorganised pews to create a spacing in the middle, antique chandeliers affixed to the high ceiling covered in thick layers of dust and cobwebs, and trash scattered across its marbled floors; by the state of the inside, squatters most likely frequented the building due to its unsealed entrance.
The inside was dimly lit from street lights outside, it poured through the stained glass windows which allowed a deep scarlet glow to illuminate the building. Chrollo stepped inside, the soles of his obsidian dress shoes quietly clicked with every calculated step further into the church.
Foolishly enough, you followed as though a crimson string bound yourself to hisâhe was acting strangely, and the most appropriate approach as of now was to question his behaviour, and the bizarreness of the situation. Walking away would only prove useless with how far he has driven, and he had your car keys; at best, you could only cooperate.
âChrollo, will you please tell me whatâs going on?â You navigated inside the old building, the scent of mildew, and rotten wood lingered in the damp air, it captured your senses in a tight hold.
Ruby bounced off Chrolloâs inky strands as he stood at the heart of the church, right beneath the stained windows with divine beings. It turned his pale skin into an angry red, and you wondered if thatâs what he felt right this very moment, clearly you werenât far off with how he pierced your soul earlier.
He turned to face you, âIâm doing this for your sake.â For the first time today, emotion seeped through the cracks of his nonchalance.Â
Chrollo looked almost sad, you werenât entirely sure given the lack of lighting but the unmistakable glint behind those obsidian eyes was anything but foreign. For a split second, it was the same Chrollo that spent countless nights in your bedroom; not as your bodyguard, not as anyone else but simply as Chrolloâyour Chrollo.
âFor my sake? What the hell are you talking about, Chrollo?â Like the vermillion glow that bounced off your skin as you stepped closer, anger slowly bubbled in the pit of your stomach. Chrollo was nothing but cryptic with his responses, and you couldnât wrap your head around any of them! He had always been a straightforward person, sometimes blunt, so why was he holding back now?
Standing beneath the scarlet light softly illuminated your features, Chrollo thought you looked exquisite bathed in the brilliance of red. Even with a tinge of doubt, and anger in your eyes, you were filled with love the same way the colour kissed every part of your skin.
âAn escape from all this . . Thatâs what you want, right?â With his right hand, Chrollo reached inside his pocket, it took you a few seconds to identify the item in his handâa gun.
With the way itâs unmistakable silver glistened beneath the dim lighting, you could tell it was a weapon of his own; not the ones registered under your fatherâs name. You stiffened, and your body ran cold, gaze met with the barrel of his gun.
âChrollo?â Barely a whisper, you called out his name above the thick atmosphere, each second spent inside it had you desperately gasping for air; whether it be from nervousness or confusion, you didnât care to find out.
He swallowed thickly, fingers curling tighter around the handle of his gun, trying to ignore the way your desperate plea violently struck a chord in his heart.
âChrollo please put the gun down! Youâre out of your mind!â Panic surged from head to toe, it came in vicious waves, scratching, and gnawing at your bare skin like a vehement beast. Chrollo tried to ignore the apparent tremble in your voice, he couldnât afford to mess this up.
âYes, I want to escapeâwith you. Why are you doing this to me, Chrollo? Why do you want me dead?!â
The third time his name rolled off your tongue, he was ready to throw the gun across the room, and cradle you in his arms while whispering apologetic nothings in your ear.
But he didnât.
Chrollo stayed rooted in his spot, gun aimed at you, âRemember Ciaran Driscoll?ââ You furrowed your brows. Ciaran? âHe paid me to kill you.â A shaky breath, that was all you could muster, your mind was too busy trying to piece everything together.
Ciaran. Chrollo. Kill. Your blood ran cold.
But Chrollo didnât give you time to breathe, steady clicks of his shoes echoed throughout the church as he paced back, and forth, âI was elated when I agreed to his proposal. Why? Because a pompous soul dying by my hands is what Iâm made forââ He was calm, and collected, a faint smile displayed on his face as he slowly walked towards you. âDid you know what your people did? To my home? To my friend?â Stopping just before you, Chrollo leaned in, obsidian gaze piercing right through you.
âA lot of you treated Meteor City like some kind of hunting ground at your disposal. As ifâas if its inhabitants were nothing but mere animals. For what? The sake of illegal dealings? For more money? Power?â
Chrollo caressed the side of your face with the back of his left handâthe other remained motionless by his sideâhis ghostly touch trembled against your skin, afraid that if he pressed down any further, youâd crack.
The situation baffled you. Not only was Chrollo blaming you for the atrocities caused by other people, you still couldnât wrap your mind around the fact that he was in cahoots with Ciaran Driscoll to orchestrate your demise.
Is that why Chrollo applied to become your bodyguard? To get close before finally killing you off? You felt another wave of dread wash over you. Everything felt numb, your limbs, your torso, your heart.
Shaking your head, you finally broke the silence with a trembling voice, tears threatening to spill out, âIâm not involved in any of those, Chrollo. Do you even hear yourself right now?â
He did. God. He fucking did and he felt absolutely foolish for blaming you. After you had bared your soul to him every night, Chrollo stopped seeing you in the same light as he did before. Yes, his deep-rooted disdain never left but that didnât mean he wasnât capable of loving you; it was a battle between desire and duty, and he already knew the victor.
The determination in your eyes, you were set on running away from the current life you had, and as tempting as that was, he didnât have the courage to lead you into a new life full of nothing but danger.
Chrollo would rather have you dying by his own bloodied handsâfor him to live each day filled with regretâthan have someone else basking in the glory of killing you. At least that way, heâd be tainted by you.
âYouâre all the same. Ciaranâs father is proof enough! You said it yourself that he was involved in illegal businessââ
âSo those nights we spent together . . were they just all part of the act? You never cared for me.â Chrollo barely caught the last part of your sentence as you muttered it under your breath; he watched as your gaze lowered, a wave of sadness engulfing you for a split second before finding his eyes once again. This time, you wore a glare.
You straightened up, âTell me, Chrollo. Was it all just an act? A show you put on just to get close to me?â Questions lingered in the air the same way dust did, it sat heavy on Chrolloâs shoulders but he remained stubbornâsilent. Would his answer change the circumstances? No.
After all, nothing good came out of trivial matters. At his stillness, you grabbed his right hand, trembling fingers curling around the shaft of his wrist as you brought it up to your face, pressing the barrel of his gun to your forehead. It felt icy against your feverish skin, like the kiss of a grim reaper.
Ever so slightly, Chrolloâs brows rose in shock, breath hitching at your brazenness. âDid you ever love me?â A broken whisper spoken into the crimson-lit night, so dainty, so weak yet it pierced his heart without a second thought. It left a gaping hole, as ugly as sin, and no amount of repentance could heal.
Love. How would one define love? Was it the act of sacrificing someone dear to oneself? Chrollo didnât know. But more importantly, how did you define love?
âDid you?â
Digging deeper into the subject would only lead to the grave of his heart but Chrollo couldnât care less, it was already six feet under since the day he sought revenge for his friend.
With a heavy sigh, your eyes finally softened, âOf course. I still do.â You felt his hand twitch in your hold, as if he briefly tried to pull the gun away.
Glimmering like the first starlight were tears staining your cheeks, one by one they fell down as a surge of emotions drowned your body; your brows were furrowed yet your eyes looked at Chrollo like he held the cosmos in his hands.
Is this what was meant when they said love and anger were painted in the same shade of red?
In his line of work, Chrollo has never seen anything as haunting as your gaze. It was natural for his targets to look up at him in complete horror, tears welled up in their eyes as they begged him to spare their lives but youâyour eyes were full of nothing but love, and adoration despite his gun pointed at you. That look alone was enough to torment his coming days.
âDo you, Chrollo? Do you love me?â His chest tightened at the hopeful glint in your eye. Nothing good ever came out of trivial matters because at the end of the day, Chrollo was nothing but a man chained to his sinful revengeâblindly devoted to the hatred planted in his heart, and it came with a great price.
A sudden wave of red washed over his body, resulting in an ear splitting bang that resounded within the churchâs bricked walls. Chrollo flinched at the soundâheâs never done that beforeâfollowed by a heavy thud against the marbled floors. It took the assassin one, two, three seconds to register the situation, the violent sensation of the gunâs recoil still fresh on his trembling hand.
The faint scent of iron hung in the air.
Chrollo looked down at the grisly sight before him, gun in his hand weighing heavy before it finally slipped from his absent grip. The weapon fell beside his right foot.
For the first time, Chrollo Lucilferâthe bringer of deathâweeped, and mourned the demise of his target. He wailed into the darkness as warm crimson slowly pooled around your head, it resembled a faux halo, a tainted fallen angel.
Broken sobs, and ugly cries filled the damp buildingâthis was the first in a long time that he had heard the sounds of his own grief. Guilt, and sorrow consumed Chrollo the same way the shadows of the night did but no amount of tears would bring you back to life, no amount of whispered I love youâs would reciprocate his words, no amount of cracks in his heart would turn back time.
You were dead, and it was all because of the man you loved so blindly. âTil your dying breath, you were shielded from the secrets of his true identity, and feelings, ones he swore he would take to the very grave he dug.
Chrollo fell to his knees, his fingers dug into his palms hard enough to draw blood. The vile pungence of your blood suffocated his senses, despite something so familiar to him, Chrollo heaved and curled over himself, quivering like an autumn leaf in the windâhe looked pathetic; hot tears and snot covered his reddened face as he cried out into darkness.
Every bit of air left his lungs and each breath felt like a chase he couldnât win. Truth be told, he didnât have the courage to reach out to your body, no, he didnât feel like he deserved to do so.
To taint you more than he already had. So, Chrollo didnât, instead, he weeped until the moon decorated the obsidian skies, until his tears tried, until your body ran cold, and every bit of colour you wore was gone.Â
And when the assassin finally pieced himself together, he did three things.
One, let Ciaran Driscoll know that the job had been done using a burner phone.
Two, with the same device, Chrollo called the police, brazenly letting them know he murdered someone, and the exact location of the crime scene.
Three, he covered your car in flames, and fed the burner phone into it; he watched as bright hues of oranges and yellows devoured the vehicle before doing what he did best: disappearing into the night, and becoming one with the shadows to never be found again.
The night before, he had quietly handed in his resignation to Lukas who gave him an appreciative pat on the back, the old timer parted with words that Chrollo knew would remain ingrained in his mind, âIâm quite sure the young miss appreciated your service. Thank you for taking care of her.âÂ
His heart shouldnât have clenched at that but it did, and painfully so.
The coming days blended into nights with Chrollo sitting inside his hideoutâa dingy, rundown motel with paper thin walls that housed interesting individuals. Completely unaware of the time, his only company was the ticking ivory wall clock above the cramped dining space.
The hefty payment from Ciaran lay untouched on the bed, concealed within a briefcase. He didnât eat nor drink, not even having the energy to step outside for occasional sunlight, and every time he closed his eyes, he remembered the look you gave him during your final moments, he remembered the metallic tang in the air.
The old chunky television situated atop a rusty console table was what kept Chrolloâs sanity intact.
Day to night, it blasted morning, afternoon, and evening newsâto the point of fellow motel goers knocking at his door to complain about the noiseâjust to keep up with information about you. As much as Chrollo yearned to bask in the memory of you, seeing your face plastered on television followed by a variety of words such as ârest in peaceâ, âmurderedâ, âassassinatedâ, and âdeadâ didnât help his mind at all.
At least what kept him entertained were the updates on potential suspects that may be tied to the crime scene; the murder weapon was an unregistered gun loaded with an unregistered bullet, and the footprints left at the scene had no unique tread.
So at best, there were no concrete leads in the case.
Not that it mattered to Chrollo.
Atop the cheap wooden table on which he sat were two things, the murder weapon and a singular stem of a white chrysanthemum. The one you had given him from your bouquet. Chrollo let the flower sit there for days on end until its ivory petals shrivelled into a brown hueâits sweet aroma turning pungent.
Until it withered.Â
Until the scent of death choked him the same way his cries did that nightâa mockery of what was lost, of what he willingly destroyed.
One month. It took Chrollo a month to finally step into the day, and out of the drab motel room. Brightness engulfed his vision, the sunâs afternoon rays shone as brightly as ever, enveloping him in a warm, gentle hug as if to welcome him back to reality.
He was certain he didnât deserve kindness from this world, not even the permission to step foot in the very earth that held your body dearly in its grasp as though you were its prized possession.
Oddly enough, Chrollo found himself standing before a familiar flower boutique. With his gaze locked onto the floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked around the inside, as if doing so was going to have you magically pop out of nowhere, and buy a dozen of white chrysanthemums like before.
But you didnât.
Pulled from his thoughts, a recognizable voice filled his ears, it was the owner, âAre you here to buy flowers for a lover, perhaps? I can recommend a fewââ She stopped halfway through her sentence, realising the familiar face that stood before her. Chrollo watched as her face morphed into a sad smile, the cheery glint in her eyes disappearing beneath the thickness of her lashes,
âIf Iâm not mistaken, youâre her bodyguard, right?â He inhaled a sharp breath at the mention of you, heart violently thumping against the confines of his chest. Chrollo could only nod, anything more than that would have him breaking.
The old lady reached out her plump hand, and gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze, âIâm so sorry for your loss. She was lovelyââ
Donât say that. Donât say it to me like Iâm not the cause of her death. Donât say it to me like I should be mourning for someone who died by my hands.
Chrollo gritted his teeth, jaw clenching at the sympathy thrown his way. He felt sick and disgusted with himselfâas if he were a vile being trapped beneath human skin. All of a sudden the sun rays that gently enveloped his body didnât feel like a warm hug anymore, sharp, hot prickles spread throughout his clothed skin, leaving a painful itch.
ââand the only customer who bought chrysanthemums frequently. Others usually bought the flowers once or twice for funerals and death anniversaries; she was the only one who truly saw chrysanthemums in a different light.â
A symbol of devoted love and loyalty, thatâs how you saw them.
How ironic that the flowers you once adored would be laid upon your grave, holding a completely different message; mourning and grief. That didnât sit well with Chrollo, you loved white chrysanthemums but not for that reason.
âApologies, I ramble too much.â The owner let out a polite chuckle before continuing. âWell, can I at least interest you in some flowers? What would it be for you?â
âCan I get a dozen of those?â Chrollo pointed at the lively bunch soaked in water, situated just beside the boutiqueâs entrance. Following his finger, she looked behind her and smiled, âRight away.â
Its petals resembled rays of the first sunshine, the golden hue it wore promised eternal warmth even after death.
As day turned into night with the crescent moon high above the obsidian skies, Chrollo made his way to your perpetual resting placeâit didnât take much effort to do some digging around to find out where your body had been buried.
The chilly wind howled as it danced with the dark, trees and leaves swaying to accompany it with a silent song. He walked down the moonlit path of the cemetery, land that outstretched before him was decorated with tombstones, and in his left hand was the bouquet he bought earlier.
Moonlight shone over your grave as if the moon herself knew the secrets shared between you and Chrollo on cloudless nights. Bouquets of white chrysanthemums decorated the space around your grave, candles that were once lit rested atop the marbled tombstone that housed your full name.
Oddly enough, this felt like dĂ©jĂ vu. Maybe it was due to the fact that you and Chrollo rendezvoused in your room the same way he visited your graveâunder a lonely moonlit night where soft whispers, and beating hearts were heard.
Bending down, Chrollo lightly caressed your carved name, cleaning out stray pieces of grass and dirt blown by the wind. He gently placed the bouquet amongst the sea of white, its colourful hue greedily taking all the limelight from the sombre flowers,
âI know these arenât your favourite but I figured youâd like them too . .â He paused for a moment, foolishly waiting for you to reply.
â. . Yellow chrysanthemums just like the white ones butââ Who was he kidding? Chrollo felt stupid. Talking to your grave as if you were aliveâas if he wasnât the one who brought you to your demise.
The audacity he had.
Truth be told, every fibre inside his body screamed at him to turn back, and never show his disgusting self but Chrollo was as greedy as the darkness that drank the moonlight each night.
He envied the ground like sin, how held you in its arms, cradling your rotting body in its eternal embrace. It should be him. Now, heâd have to remember you longer than he had known you.
Instead, Chrollo was six feet aboveâalive; tied to, and haunted by the shackles of foolish regret. The memory of that night replayed in his mind over and over again like a cursed broken record, the disgusting thump as your lifeless body hit the floor, blood pooling around your head.
Most nights heâd find himself calling your name in his sleepâhe always dreamt of the same dream: you, running away from him in a field of flowers, no matter how hard he worked his legs, he never seemed to reach your body.Â
Chrollo sat before your grave and sobbed, letting creatures of the night feel his vulnerability; as the wind howled, the breeze carried the sounds of his cries to the trees, where it promised him to keep it a secretâa story only reserved for the dead.
Hot tears rolled down his frost-bitten cheeks, pooling on the tip of his chin before it fell on the damp grass beneath.
In antique texts, yellow chrysanthemums represented oneâs heart left to desolation. Neglected love. It was only befitting for he has killed the very person who grew to love his blood-stained soul because in the end, he was nothing but a man only adept at destroying.
He let out shaky exhale, and whispered into the night the answer you sought,Â
âI love you.â

In Sickness
hyunjin x gn!reader x changbin
warnings: none!
genre: sick fic, fluff
word count: 956
author's note: i'm sick as hell with the flu so this is pretty self-indulgent. i hope it's coherent because my brain is just as foggy, but i really wanted to write something while i can't work on other things that require a bit more brain powerđ„č hope you enjoy, feel free to let me know what you think! đ
masterlist
divider by @firefly-graphics
Being sick was the worst.
Your nose was clogged up, your throat felt weird, raw and scratchy, your voice came out weird every time you tried to talk and your head was pounding from all the sniffing, your brain a foggy mess, making it difficult to focus on the most mundane tasks.
Seeing as you couldnât even finish one of the tasks you had set out to do for the day, you grew frustrated and groaned loudly, attracting one of your boyfriends who trudged through the apartment to your room to see what was wrong.
âWhatâs got you so worked up, baby?â â came Changbinâs voice from your doorframe as he leaned against it, a concerned frown gracing his face.
âI canât even finish this thing that I wanted to finish writing. This sucksâ â you pouted and made grabby hands at him.
Changbin sighed and took a few steps towards you before enveloping you into a tight hug, his big and strong arms feeling like a safe haven around you. Luckily, both of your boyfriends had already given in to physical contact with you, reasoning that if they were going to get sick, it was probably already too late anyways, so might as well not deprive you of cuddles in these trying times.
âHow about you stop for today, Iâll make you a tea and tell Hyunjin to bring some snacks on his way home and weâll just relax tonight and binge a series? Hm?â
You noticeably perked up at the suggestion, making Changbin slightly chuckle above you as he rubbed your back soothingly.
âCan I choose?â
âHey, Iâm in the minority anyways, you and Hyunjin always immediately agree when it comes to choosing what to watchâ â he shrugged and scooped you out of your chair and up into his arms, easily carrying you to the living room where he placed you softly into the corner of your couch. He tucked you in before leaving to the kitchen, phone in hand to order Hyunjin around.
As he disappeared into the other room of your apartment, you sighed and sank further into the blankets and cushions surrounding you. You felt truly blessed to have not only one but two very attentive and sweet boyfriends. It quite honestly made you a little emotional, your already exhausted body wanting to tear up at the thought of two people you loved taking such sweet care of you.
You rubbed at your eyes before the tears threatening to spill over were able to escape down your cheeks and instead focused on browsing through the available shows for later.
Changbin came back in with two steaming mugs that he set on the coffee table in front of you, retreating quickly to get a third one that finds its home beside the other two. You giggled at his choice of mugs, each one being a specialised one that was specifically made with one of you in mind.
Changbinâs had a big Dwaekki on it doing deadlifts, surrounded by many, many hearts drawn by you and Hyunjin respectively.
Hyunjinâs had Jiniret drawing a beautiful bouquet of flowers, also surrounded by many hearts from you and Changbin
And yours had a cat on it, similar to Jiniret and Dwaekki, holding up a pen and paper and looking real smug about it. Of course, you also had your fair share of hearts drawn by both of your boyfriends surrounding the kitty.
The sight made you smile, seeing the mugs together like this. This time, however, you couldnât catch your tears before they fell, alarming Changbin who was immediately at your sight.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you in pain?â
His hands hovered over your bundled up form, not wanting to accidentally cause any further pain. You felt kind of embarassed for bursting out into tears like this randomly, hastily shaking your head.
âNo⊠Just overwhelmingly happy and touched, I guess?â
The visible confusion crossing over Changbinâs face wasnât lost on you and you chuckled at the sight.
âIâm sick and youâre dropping everything to take care of me⊠Makes me feel so many things.â
At that, his gaze softened and he allowed himself to sit down next to you, caressing your thigh.
âOf course we would, youâve done it countless times for us as well, angel.â
A short while later Hyunjin arrived at home with several bags hanging off his body.
âI didnât know what you wanted, so I just got a bunch of stuff!â
âThatâs way too much.â
âYou know I snack, they wonât go bad under my watchâ â he grinned and plopped down on your other side, so he had one entire half of you for himself.
Not too long into the first episode of the drama you chose, Hyunjin clung to you like a koala as you leaned against Changbinâs shoulder, pressing his plush lips into your shoulder every now and then to reaffirm his presence beside you.
For the third time that day, you were close to crying. The warmth that spread throughout your body from being squished between your two boyfriends, one offering his strong and steady shoulder for you to rest your head on while the other acted like your personal weighted and heated blanket, made you want to cry.
Truly, what did you do to deserve the two of them?
Sniffing, you nuzzled further into Changbinâs shoulder and moved your body around, so Hyunjin could lie directly on top of you. You put your arms around his shoulders and pulled him closer into your embrace, breathing his calming scent in as you grew tired.
If this is what being sick looked like with Changbin and Hyunjin by your side, you think you could survive the foggy brain for a few more days.

smau/irl
TikTok Secrets (Paul Aron X Fewtrell! Reader)
Fandom: RPF/F2/F3
Requested: Clearly (I love this so much, side note, I'm open to writing for Max Fewtrell now)
Warnings:Â sexual inuendos ig
POV: Second Person (You/your/They/them)
W.C. 1427
Summary: A quadrant video unearths a secret crush (at least, to Max it was a secret)
As always, my requests are OPEN
MASTERLISTÂ //Â HITLIST
~~(^Pinterest)
Max thought this was an interesting idea. He knew you were always on TikTok, and as a member of Gen-Z, you were bound to have some questionable videos in your likes. He had mentioned the idea briefly to Lando, but then Lando agreed it would be funny to go through your liked TikTok videos for a Quadrant video.Â
You showed up in the studio clueless since he didnât tell you what the video was before this. You just handed your phone to Lando because thatâs what you always did. Lando or someone behind the camera would take everyoneâs phones out of the room, so there would be no interruptions. It was something that didnât make you bat an eye.
âHello everyone, and welcome back to another Quadrant video,â Max started off. âWe have my sibling here, and today, we will be going through their TikTok liked videos.â
âWait, Max, no,â You tried to protest as Lando handed the phone to Max. It was times like this when you regretted not having a stronger password on your phone. âI never agreed to this!â
âItâs not like you have anything to hide, eh?â Max teased as he opened your TikTok immediately and went to your liked videos. Thankfully, nothing super questionable played out when the app first loaded up. âSee? This is normal Gen-Z humor stuff.â
You had been on a brain rot cycle that morning, so most of your recent liked videos were super random. The recording went on with casual and chaotic banter between you and Max, with Lando chiming in from time to time again from behind the camera. All was well until Max reached the section of videos you didnât want him to see. The edits.
âWoah, does my sibling have a crush on a certain F2 driver?â Max teased as he watched the seemingly never-ending Paul Aron edits in your liked videos. âI thought this was a joke, but this is a little excessive, donât you think?â
âMax, cut it out, please,â You pleaded as you tried to grab your phone. âIâm begging, cut this out.â
âTell me, and Iâll cut it out of the video,â Max replied as he set your phone down but kept it out of your reach.Â
âCut the cameras now, and Iâll spill,â You countered, and Max nodded, gesturing to Lando to stop the recording. âMaybe I have a crush.â
âMy little sibling has their first crush!â Max gushed as he squished your face between his hands. âYouâre all grown up now! Stop it.â
âI canât really just stop,â You chuckled, pushing his hands away from you. âIâm almost 20 now, Max. Iâm more than grown up.â
âYouâll always be my little sibling, and thatâs final,â Max joked. âSo, do you need me to set you up with Paul?â
âYou donât even know Paul,â You chuckled in disbelief. This was not how you thought he was going to react, but youâre not complaining yet.Â
âIâm more in the motorsport world than you are,â Max pointed out, âAnd by association, Iâm closer to him than you. Let me set you two up.â
âFine, if you want,â You relented, rolling your eyes. âCan we wrap this video up now? Iâd like to go back onto my brain rot streak.â
âYou Gen-Zers,â Max muttered, shaking his head.
âYou are Gen-Z too, technically,â You teased, using this time to snatch your phone. âNow, letâs end this video.â
âFine,â Max groaned before gesturing to Lando to resume filming, âWell, that does it for this video. Weâll see you next time!â
~
~
âY/n, explain now,â Max pressed as soon as you answered his call. You were lying in bed with Paul at the hotel since it was the start of the race weekend, and his call woke you both up. If he was going to start your day like this, you werenât going to be nice about it.
âWhat ever happened to âhelloâ, âgood morningâ, âhow are youâ, âwhat are you doingâ, or yâknow, any conversation starter?â You dragged out as you put the phone on speaker and laid your head back against Paulâs chest.
âHello, good morning, how are you? What are you doing? When were you gonna tell me you were already dating Paul?â Max rushed, getting progressively louder as his sentence went on.
âHello to you too. Iâm doing well other than you woke us up at the ass-crack of dawn-â
âWhat do you mean âusâ? Is he with you right now?â Max cut you off.
âYes, now, if I can continue,â You cut back in with a sharp tone, âWe were asleep, and you woke us up at the ass-crack of dawn. Do time zones mean nothing to you?â
âHow was I supposed to know you were with him?â Max defended, almost completely forgetting his original point of the call.
âI told you I was going out of England for work,â You explained. âI said I was going to Qatar for work. I literally texted this to you yesterday.â
âYou work with Paul? Since when?â Max questioned.
âSince I realized I can work remotely. Graphic design can be done from anywhere. I just decided this week itâs being done in Qatar,â You justified, looking up at Paul, who was trying his hardest not to laugh. âWas there a point to this, or can we go back to sleep? We had a long night.â
âDonât fucking tell me what you did last night!â Max screamed into the phone, and both of you started laughing out loud. âDonât laugh at this! I donât wanna know what my youngest sibling does with the boyfriend I didnât know they had! Youâre just a baby!â
âOne, Iâm not a baby. Two, our flight got delayed, and we didnât get to our hotel until about 2 this morning. Weâre too tired to do anything but sleep, Max,â You deadpanned once you calmed your laughs.Â
âI at least wouldâve expected you to tell me before you posted it,â Max complained.
âWould you like to know how long before we announce that?â Paul chipped in.
âI donât wanna hear anything from you,â Max snapped before completely changing his tone, âY/n, how long have you been with Paul?â
âAbout 9 months,â You chuckled at his quick switch. âWe wanted to make sure we were strong before letting everyone in, and you were included in that. Sorry, bro.â
âDo not âsorry, broâ me like thatâs gonna fix this,â Max complained, knowing you always pulled this whenever you wanted to sweep something under the rug. âItâs not gonna work on me.â
âSorry, bro,â You said again with a smirk, âIâll call Mum and tell her how much you hate me. Iâm sorry, bro. I didnât mean to make you feel left out.â
âNo, I was just a little hurt. Itâs fine,â Max comforted, feeling bad that he made you feel upset. Despite his original anger towards the situation, he hated making you feel bad. Call it a big brother thing, but he feels bad whenever heâs the reason behind your pain.
âSo youâre not mad at me?â You pouted even though he couldnât see you, but Paul could. He knew you were using your younger sibling power to get your way.
âNo, I canât be mad at you,â Max comforted, âI can understand where you two are coming from, so Iâm not upset about it.â
âGood, weâre going back to sleep now then,â Your tone switched back to its usual peppy style, âIâll call you later this weekend or something. And donât worry, weâll be safe, promise.â
You didnât give him the chance to say anything as you ended the call and put your phone on Do Not Disturb. You moved it back to the bedside table as you got comfortable in Paulâs arms again.
âYou know you gave him a heart attack, right?â Paul chuckled lightly as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders, pulling you to be practically on top of him.
âThatâs my job as the younger sibling,â You replied sleepily as you got your head comfortable against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. âYou do the same thing to Ralf, so donât even start.â
Almost on cue, Paulâs phone started ringing. Who was calling? Ralf.

ajdbks omg hi daddy!scara anon here... I LOVED THE FIC BTW MWAH MWAH CHEFS KISS- may i req aftercare with daddy!scara? maybe helpin you clean up in the bath (as he's very insistent on it...) and reader givin him some lovin too.. thanking him for being such a good daddy.. and maybe trying to give him some aftercare too.. (like a massage?) and he gets super flustered by it and lightheartedly grumpy because hes supposed to take care of you, not the other way around !! and it ends with some fluffy playfulness and lots of kisses and i love you's and aaaghh i love this man
scaramouche x fem!reader. a little smut but mostly fluffy fluff fluff aftercare. daddy kink. handjob. modern au
i very glad you enjoyed itđ„ș i love scara. like a whole lot.
scaramouche insisted on carrying you to the bath tub, which was filling with pleasantly scented water, bubbles fluffing out on the surfacw. he absolutely knew he is rough with you, and you deserved nothing less than to melt like candle wax and relax while he took care of you afterwards.
the sweet little way you cling to him, your arms looped around his neck and your cheek nuzzling against his collarbone made his heart swell and flutter in his chest. how fucking precious you are.
moments after he gently set you down in the water, and got in the tub with you, you immediately went to him. "you are so good to me, daddy," you said, giving him a soft kiss on his lips.
oh please, go on. he knows how great he is.
"hush, you," he grumbled, his cheeks flushing as he picked up a wash cloth. it should be considered a crime how cute you are. he dabbed at some dried blood around a bite mark on your neck. he slid the wash cloth over your blossoming bruises, admiring his work.
you sighed softly, you eyes drifting closed for a moment. the warm water soothed your sore muscles, sore muscles you never minded. if you didn't feel a little sore, then scaramouche felt he didn't do a thorough enough job. "you always know just what to do."
opening your hazy eyes, you moved through the bubbles behind him. "you always take such good care of me," you wrapped arms around him, resting your chin on his shoulder. "let me take of you, daddy," you pressed a gentle kiss on his neck.
"you know this isn't how it works, right?" he said shakily feeling your finger tips brush against his nipple. sure, you are making his cock twitch but damn it, he was supposed to be taking care of you. you giggled, gently pinching his nipple before bringing you hand down between his legs.
"you sneaky little," he moaned softly, precum leaking onto his cock head as you massaged it with your thumb. he leaned back against you, rutting into your hand as you stroked his cock. you pumped your hand in time with his ruts, massaging your thumb on the vein that buldged to the surface.
scaramouche's hands groped around for your knees, your thighs, anything to hold onto while he grinded shamelessly into your hand. you nuzzled against his neck, gently pinching and rolling his nipple between your fingers. his cock throbbed in your hand as his husky moans echoed throughout the bathroom.
"ah, fuck, you are amazing," water sloshed around him as he writhed a little, gritting his teeth in hopes of not sloshing water all over the floor. water he knew you would attempt to clean up yourself. at the thought, he let out a frustrated whimper.
"it's you who is amazing, daddy," your tongue flicked out to lick the shell of his ear. your ministrations on his nipples made his cock pulse harder in your hand. "i love you," he could hear the pure genuine weight of your words.
his moans rose in octave as cum roped into your hand. an embarrassed flush darkened his cheeks, having cum hard hearing even a little praise from you. you held him as he shook from his orgasm, pumping your hand on his cock until he was trembling in bliss against you.
washing your hand in the water, you leaned around and kissed him before putting your hands on his shoulders. you pressed and massaged your fingers into his muscles.
"you," he groaned softly, his body immediately relaxing further into your touches, "what am i going to do with you? let me take care of you, brat," his eyes drifted closed, ultimately surrendering to your massage. he could practically feel your victorious smile behind him.
about 45 minutes later, he raised his hand up out of the water, wiggling his index finger for you to lean around him. "a couple of things," he said once you peeked curiously around at him with cutest little, "hm?"
"i'm carrying you to bed. i am taking you to dinner tomorrow night. and," he pressed a long, slow kiss on your lips. a cocky victory smirk of his own tugged at the corners of his lips feeling you melt into his kiss. "i love you, i hope you know," he looked shy in a grumpy way as he said it.
"that's three things, daddy," you giggled, kissing him again. scaramouche playfully swatted bubbles at you. "i love you."
