bro iâm going absolutely INSANE over alastor đ»đ»
so, how about when lucifer comes by the hotel, he subtly flirts w alastors girl. alastor is on the verge of going apeshit and almost leaves charlie fatherless.
instead of murdering anyone, he decides to take his frustrations out on his darling, leaving bite marks and hickies on spots just visible enough for lucifer to notice next time he comes by..
a/n: im OBSESSED đđ
alastor immediately recognized lucifer as competition on multiple fronts. obviously, the king of hell was a threat in terms of power level, and alastor hated that. but alastor also quickly hated how charming the devil was.
upon meeting you, lucifer takes your hand and bows, placing a kiss on your hand as well. alastor's eye twitches, watching someone else put their dirty little hands and mouth on what is his. "my, what a pleasure. you're helping charlie? that's lovely! means i'll get to be seeing you around more, huh? she didn't mention such a pretty little thing was her hotel manager." lucifer speaks to you, a cool smirk on his face. he's clearly interested in you, and while alastor can't blame the man, he's seething with rage. clearing his throat, alastor takes a step towards you and reaches a hand out to lucifer in an attempt to shift his attention.
"alastor." he speaks, barely containing the anger in his voice. "it truly is an honor to be meeting you, sir." you raise a brow at the tense interaction going on in front of you but pay it no mind. lucifer gives alastor a tight lipped smile and shakes his hand. "ah, you as well. charlie has talked about you." you notice the way alastor glares at lucifer, yet keeps a smile on his face the entire time. lucifer turns back to you, putting a gloved hand on the small of your back. "now how's about a tour, hm?" he leans into your ear to whisper, causing goosebumps to rise on your skin.
behind you, alastor's horns grow and eyes redden, ready to risk it all in a fight with the devil and take out this whole god damned hotel if it meant lucifer never touched you again. "o-oh um, that's typically done by-" you start, but suddenly, charlie is running down the stairs with a panicked look on her face.
"heeyy dad! let's go this way, towards your room! it's late, you should rest." her smile is clearly fake, and you see her eyes dart from you to alastor and back to you. luckily, alastor reeled in his rage when the princess showed up and was back to his normal self on the surface. you can feel the energy coming from your partner, malicious intent painted all over his aura and you gulp. "al, c'mon... charlie's right."
alastor doesn't speak, but he follows you to your room for the night. the door is barely shut before alastor is lifting your legs and tossing you onto the bed. "care to explain why the fuck that little slimy king of hell was all over you?" he doesn't give you another moment to process before he's tugging your shirt over your head. "it's just harmless, al. you know i don't want anyone but you." you assure him, but alastor's teeth find your neck.
"i may trust you, darling, but i do not trust lucifer." his voice has a low growl to it that ignites your core. "but-" you gasp when alastor's mouth closes on the skin behind your ear, nipping it with sharp teeth. "no, because he and everyone in this place will know who you belong to." you shudder underneath of him, slight tinges of pain shooting down your spine at every nip and pull of your skin. alastor moves down your neck, leaving a trail of angry red and purple spots in his wake.
his tongue circles every bruise in an attempt to soothe your inflamed skin, but the marks just darken by the second. you hands dive into his hair, holding onto the silky strands. you feel alastor's body shudder as you circle the tufts of hair by his ears, making him press his hips to yours. "everyone in hell, my dear, is going to know that you're mine. not a single soul will ever try to touch you again." his breathing hitches, grinding his quickly hardening cock against your leg. you whimper when his teeth latch onto your collarbone, sucking hard and adding another welt to your skin.
"i want him to hear you." he hisses as he tugs your pants down over your ankles. its hasty, the way alastor frees his cock and pushes into your pussy, but you were more than ready for the intrusion. you cry out, suddenly being so, so full and alastor groans. "yes darling, just like that." your legs wrap around his waist, forcing every thrust just a little further until he's pounding at your cervix.
"d-don't stop sir." you gasp, eyes rolling into the back of your head while alastor's mouth latches onto the other side of your neck this time. "who do you being to?" he asks, hot breath fanning your skin. "y-you, alastor!" you whine, flexing your hips up to his in an attempt to build friction. "please, make me cum. only you feel so good." alastor peppers you in soft kisses now, ever grateful that you're willing to entertain the idea of letting lucifer know just who makes you feel like this.
alastor sneaks a hand between your bodies to rub skillful circles around your clit until your legs start shaking. "good, good girl. scream for me." he smirks when your tone shifts and he can tell by how tight you squeeze around his cock. "a-alastor fuck!" your body spasms, waves of pleasure rolling over you as you cum. alastor's orgasm follows shortly after, his teeth finding your skin once more as he spills deep inside of your pussy.
you have a brief moment of embarrassment when you think about just how loud you just were, your hand flying up to your mouth. alastor just laughs, placing a kiss on your forehead. "don't panic, my sweet. i think this little display will prove quite effective in keeping lucifers grubby little hands off of you." alastor pulls out slowly and carries you to a nice warm shower before tucking you in for the night.
---
"jesus christ, did you get into a fuckin' fight with a bear?" angel laughs when you walk into the kitchen the next morning. you were covered in hickeys all the way down your neck, and you were barely walking straight. lucifer refuses to make eye contact with you, especially after alastor walks into the room shortly after. "good morning everyone!" alastor chirps, smirking at lucifer who rolls his eyes and sips his coffee.
"well, there's the bear..." husk mutters, earning a cackle from angel.

girldad!geta pleeease!
Filia Divina
Pairing: Emperor Geta x Wife!reader
Tags: childbirth, pregnancy, miscarriage mentioned, implied infanticide, soft!geta (if you squint), historically accurate practices, NOT BETA READ SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING WONKY NO YOU DIDNâT, good ole fashioned misogyny
AN: Tollere Liberos is in reference to an ancient Roman tradition where a father decides whether or not to accept a newborn as their child. Rejected children were abandoned via âexpositusâ (aka dead ass just leaving a baby out in the wilderness). So basically girldad!geta but historically accurate lol. Enjoy!
It had only been an hour since you birthed herâa sweet little creature with curls the color of honey and supple skin like the flesh of a ripe plum. With a mighty wail fit to be heard across an empire, she came into the world. Your goddess, Juno, generously granted her the health and strength you prayed for. You rejoiced, though your joy was not shared.
The midwives cleaned your daughter in grave silence, save for the whispers of the politic-men gathered to witness the birth of Romeâs divine son. They huddled together in the far corner of the chamber as your girl laid against her motherâs chest for the first time.
âIt cannot be trueâlook again!â Geta frantically commands the weary doctor. He paces across the marble floor in a state of distress. A litany of expressions troubles his face; disbelief, panic, betrayal.
âMy lord, it is not what was desired, but I assure youâthe child is female. You have my greatest sorrows.â The doctor mournfully bows his head, knowing better than to look the short tempered prince in the eye.
Geta was persistent, diligently sewing his seed in your womb since your holy union. You passed two of his children as blood, and he held you as you suffered through the pain. He watched your body grow when his efforts succeeded, massaged your taut skin with olive oil, and fed you bread soaked in sweet wine when you felt ill. He even kneeled at Jupiterâs alter to call for the safe delivery of his first son and the health of his wifeâAll these precautions only to be cruelly slighted.
âThe gods have punished me, yet Iâve done nothing but bend to their will.â Geta holds his head in disbelief, his devastation made evident by a deep scowl.
Senator Gracchus tentatively approaches your distraught husband, resting a sympathetic hand on his shoulder.
âMy lord, we must atone for our offenses, whatever they may be. It is a grave misfortune indeed, but your brideââ
Rage ignites across Getaâs face as he pulls away from his constituentâs touch.
âSpeak tactfully of your empress if you wish to keep your tongue, Senator.â He seethes through a tight jaw. Gracchus relents, his tone softening considerably. He continues slowly and with caution.
âTwo winters have passed since your union, and she has yet to bring forth an heir of Rome. Her body has proved inhospitable. The gods have sent a message, and it would be foolish to turn a cheekâyou must heed this omen! â
Geta takes a moment, carefully considering the senatorâs plea for reason. He looks back to you, Obsidian eyes gazing down at the linen sheet that obscures your sleeping child.
âI am a conduit of their will. Tollere Liberos will prevail and the gods will decide through me.â Geta turns to you fully. Your heart becomes heavy in your chest as you search your husbandâs face for tenderness, but see nothing but solid stone.
In your dreams, you imagined the day Geta approached his first heir as sweetâthat he might kiss your reddened cheeks and proudly claim his child. Never did you think the sight of him would cause you to tighten your grip and cower away. He looms over the bed where you lay, exhausted and perspiring, like a holy monument.
âShow me the child.â
âMy love, I beg youââ
âYour emperor commands it.â Geta callously interrupts.
You unwrap your daughter in your arms, trembling hands moving as gingerly as possible. She shifts in her sleep, curling her precious limbs toward her delicate body, but does not wake. Getaâs eyes widen at the sight of her.
âSo it is true. My faithful wifeâs womb has betrayed me.â His gaze softens. Something stirs behind it, but you are not sure what.
âIf you wish to return her life, then be merciful and do the same with mine.â Your heart twists and aches, your love for your emperor becoming a knife in your rib.
To your shock, Geta reaches out to his daughter, takes her tiny fist in his palm, and runs a thumb over her blushing knuckles. She wraps her hand around her fatherâs finger with a mighty yawn.
You have seldom seen your restless husband become so still.
âShe bears your resemblance.â Getaâs voice is but a whisper. His gaze doesnât stray from her. It appears his heart aches the same as yours.
âAnd a head of golden hair.â You can only offer an exhausted smile.
Geta takes his daughter into his arms for the first time.
âThe gods have spoken!â He declares to the small gathering of senators. Your emperor raises his girl above the laurels atop his head. Some look on with horror, and others with pride.
âShe will have my name! It is done.â
As your daughterâs first weeks pass, Getaâs tenderness only grows. In the lavender hours of dawn, you wake to find him cradling her in the crook of his arm. He speaks to her softly.
âPoor girl, you have wounded your fatherâs pride. My, what tragedy.â
You smile at the sound of her gentle crooning as your husband assuages her back to sleep.
âA son would belong to Romeâbut you, dear Septima, will belong to me.â

ⶠbingo masterlist | masterlist â¶
âNever?â
âNever. I don't know, it just doesn't do it for me.â
âBut you are- I mean, whenâ, Spencer mumbled, waving his hands around and pointing at you then him, back and forth a couple of times. âWhen we-â, he trailed off, his cheeks blushing as he got shy and a bit insecure.
âOh? Noâ, you started but when his eyes slightly widened you realized it came out wrong. You stepped closer to him and took his hands in yours, softly squeezing them as you looked up at him with a reassuring smile. âYes, it works when we are sleeping with each other. You do make me cum.â He huffed out a small laugh and blushed a bit more, but the insecurity that had bubbled up was leaving him again.
You pulled him in to you and placed his hands on your waist, then leaned against him and rested your chin against his chest, looking up at him. Shrugging, you wrapped your arms around his mid. âI just can't finish from only touching myself. Not without using toys that require batteries at least.â
Spencer softly squeezed your waist and started drawing circles with his thumbs. He slightly squinted his eyes and nodded his head a couple of times in thought; you could practically hear the gears turning as an idea formed in his mind. You raised your chin. âWhat?â
âShow me.â
âHuh? Show you? You mean, you...â, you trailed off. Now it was your turn to get shy, the heat rising up in your body, creeping higher until your face grew hot. âYou want to watch me.. masturbate?â
Spencer nodded, one side of his lips turned up in a teasing half smile. âYes. You said I make you cum, so there must be something I'm doing right.â Both of you chuckled at that. âYou could show me how you touch yourself and I could talk you through it. If you'd like to try, I mean.â
Subconsciously you pressed you thighs together, which Spencer didn't miss. You licked over your bottom lip, then pulled it between your teeth as you thought about what he was saying. Spencer's eyes followed the motion as he was studying your face, studying your reaction to his proposition.
The thought alone made your heart beat faster and it ignited a raging fire in you. The thought of his eyes watching closely as you lie before him, legs spread and with your hands between your thighs. His voice and words guiding and aiding your pleasure, telling you what to do and how to do it...
Your breath hitched and you swallowed hard. He raised one of his hands to cup your cheek, his thumb softly brushed over the corner of your mouth. âIs that a yes?â, he asked, his voice low. Spencer already knew the answer just by watching your reaction, but wanted you to say it out loud. His other hand sneaked under your shirt, his fingertips caressing your skin on their way higher and higher until he stopped at your ribs.
If he would give you a second, just one second without him touching or teasing you in some way, you would be able to form a sentence and answer with more than a nod. As if he had read your mind, Spencer slightly pulled back, giving you space to breathe and without his hands on you.
And even though this was what you had wanted a few seconds ago so you could properly answer him, you immediately missed his touch and a whine escaped you. He just chuckled and raised an eyebrow, encouraging you to speak, still waiting for an answer.
âOkay. Yesâ, you breathed out and nodded, âwanna do it.â A desperate plea still on your tongue, he cupped your cheeks and pressed his lips to yours.
You sighed against his mouth, your lips parting. Spencer deepened the kiss and both of you moaned when your tongues met. A shiver ran down your spine when you felt his hands slide down over your neck and collarbones, over your chest where he was careful not to touch your nipples through the fabric and down to your sides, where he pushed them back under the hem of your shirt, slowly making his way up..
The kiss only broke for a moment when he pulled your shirt over your head, his lips instantly reattaching to yours and his hands back on you, now able to roam freely over your skin without any restrictions. You slid your own hands over his chest and started to unbutton his dress shirt. You just undid the last button when you gasped and bunched up the material in your hands; Spencer slowly slid one of his hands under the hem of your panties and groaned against your lips when he felt how wet you were.
His finger slid through your folds, teasing at your entrance before he drew slow and gentle circles on your clit. When your breath hitched and you began to grind your hips against his hand, he stopped and pulled his hand out of your pants
âNuh-uh, the deal was for you to make yourself cum; with your own handsâ, he taunted, as if he hadn't started this himself just now. He lifted your chin and pressed a kiss to your lips. When he leaned back you tried to chase his lips, whining when he left you hanging and took a step back, shrugging the shirt off his shoulders as he did so. Then he took another step. And another. âTake the rest of your clothes off.â
The buckle of his belt rattled as Spencer opened it, your eyes followed his hands. You watched him pull it out of the loops and drop it to the floor next to him before he unbuttoned his pants â but kept them on â and sat down in the armchair. His eyes never left you, following each of your moves. You hooked your thumbs into the hem of your pants and underwear and pulled them down, letting them pool around your ankles.
âSit down, spread your legs and put your hands on your knees.â
You stepped out of the pile of fabric and kicked them to the side, right onto the rest of your discarded clothes, then you did as he told you and sat down across from him on the sofa, slowly opening your legs.
Being naked in front of Spencer was one thing, but this? It was a totally new feeling for you; a different â a special â kind of vulnerability you had never experienced before, not with him, not with anybody.
You felt like your skin was on fire, inch after inch getting ignited as Spencer's eyes wandered over your naked body, lingering here and there for a moment; on your bottom lip when you licked over it and pulled it between your teeth, the swell of your breasts and your hardening nipples, down over your soft stomach to your glistening pussy, already wet from his teasing, and your hands loosely resting on your knees.
âLike that. Good girl.â
This wasn't the first time he called you a 'good girl', but today... Fuck... A shiver ran down your back and you were barely able to hold back a whimper, the ache in your core getting stronger and you felt yourself clench around nothing. God, you wanted to feel him deep inside you; tongue, fingers, cock. What ever you could get. What ever he would give you. Your hands shook in anticipation and you felt yourself getting wetter and needier.
Spencer's eyes darkened when he saw your intense reaction to the praise and his jaw went slack for a moment before he fixed his gaze back on your face, trying to gain back some composure. His hands held a tight grip on the armrests, his knuckles almost white, as if he had to physically hold himself back from just getting up and ravaging you right then and there.
You loved the effect you had on him, that just seeing you drove him crazy. It made you feel powerful.
He took a deep breath in through his nose and slowly breathed out, calming himself down. His grip on the armrests loosened then and he leaned back. âI want you to start by moving your hands over your thighsâ, he instructed, his voice low and raspy. âSlowly.â
Without having to think about it you followed his words and let your hands glide over your soft skin with a gentle pressure; from your knees over the outsides of your thighs until you reached your hips, then you moved them up to slide them back down to your knees again.
âYou can touch your inner thighs as well, but don't touch your pussy yet.â
You nodded and took a shaky breath. The insides of your thighs were more sensitive and you shuddered as you got closer and closer to your core and a soft moan escaped your lips. Even though Spencer told you not to, you wanted nothing more than to play with your clit or slide two of your fingers inside, thrusting them in and out.
And when he moved his hand to his bulge, palming himself as he watched you, you thought that maybe, he would let you do it. He didn't give you permission and you didn't ask, but you didn't stop moving your hands further up. But when your fingertips got too close to your folds, he clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
âSorryâ, you mumbled breathless and pulled your hands back. You slid them back down, closer to your knees, and grabbed your thighs.
â's okay, baby.â Then Spencer chuckled. âAnd you can sit more comfortably if you want, by the way. You don't have to sit up with a straight back.â
You pouted with a smile on your lips as you looked beside you and grabbed a pillow to put it behind your back. âI knew that.â You leaned back, testing if the pillow was in a good position and when you where satisfied with the placement you scooted back some more and fully rested your body against it.
âAnything you feel like doing right now?â, Spencer asked. You opened your mouth, but before you could say anything he added with a smirk: âExcept for touching your pussy.â
You grinned at him. âWhat about for you to fuck me?â But he just shook his head, chuckling.
âPatience, love.â
Well, it was still worth a try. You held back the disappointed and needy whine that wanted to come out and for a moment you tried to think about it, you really did. But you made the mistake to look down his torso and Spencer's hand was just too damn distracting. He was still palming himself over his pants, softly squeezing from time to time. And while he was waiting for your answer, he lazily stroked his thumb back and forth over his clothed shaft.
The words came out choked and barely audible when you finally forced yourself to answer, your fingers digging hard in to your flesh. âDon't know...â
âFirst thing that comes to mind.â His voice was lazed with amusement; Spencer was enjoying this so much and he knew exactly what he was doing to you right now. His tongue darted out to lick over his lip and the softly bit down in the tip.
After a deep breath you made yourself look at his face and softened the grip you had on your thighs. âMaybe... touch my breasts? My nipples?â
He smiled softly. âNo wrong answers here.â With a tilt of his head he raised his chin as confirmation. âGo ahead. Keep your hands on your body.â
With a tender touch your moved your hands up your body, softly caressing your skin, up to your tits and cupped them with your hands.
âGently massage them, play with your nipples.â
You gasped when you followed his instructions and rolled your hard nipples between your fingers, the sensation shooting waves of pleasure down to your core. With every flick and twist you grew needier. Impatient.
"Feels good?", he asked breathy, his voice shaking a bit when he moved his hand faster and with more pressure over his cock.
"Not as good as when you do itâ, you whined.
Spencer chuckled again; his tone teasing. "Want me to touch you?"
You nodded your head eagerly, your back slightly arching into your hands. "Mh-hm, please."
"Wanna see you make yourself cum first, okay? You can do it. I'll touch you as much as you want after."
If you wouldn't get some kind of release soon, you would go insane, completely feral. Closing your legs to press your thighs together for some friction wasn't an option and with the way you were sitting you couldn't exactly try and rub yourself against the sofa. And maybe it was written on your face in big, bold letters, because Spencer â finally â gave you the go.
âSlide your hands down your stomach, move your fingertips over your lips and tease yourself for a moment â yes, good, like that. When you are ready, go ahead and touch your clit. Soft circles.â
The first stoke of your fingers over your clit felt like heaven and ecstasy flooded through your whole body. Your head fell back and you moaned loudly; it felt so good to finally be able to feel your fingers where you so desperately had wanted them that your body started to tremble. A string of mashed together words fell from your lips, you didn't even realize you were saying them. âThankyouthankyouthankyou-â
You melted back into the pillow, gasping and moaning as the pleasure became more and more; your other hand found its way back to your tits on its own, groping at the soft flesh and teasing your nipple as your fingers between your legs moved in slow, tight circles.
The sound of clothes rustling made you lift your head; Spencer lifted his hips to slip off his pants, letting them pool around his ankles. He adjusted his position and leaned back, his knees slightly falling apart and he wrapped his hand around his hard cock.
The sight made you whimper, the need to taste him and feel him overtaking your whole being. But you knew, even if you would ask â beg â him to fuck you, he wouldn't do it, not now; you hadn't cum yet. So you did the next best thing and pushed two of your fingers into your leaking cunt.
A breathy laugh fell from Spencer's lips as he watched you start to thrust your fingers into yourself as soon as you had seen him. His grip on his cock tightened and he started to pump his fist faster, not holding back his own moans. He so desperately wanted to bury himself in your tight walls and it took everything in him to hold back. âGod, you look so perfect right now... So fucking pretty.â
The both of you worked each other up, the pleasure getting more intense with every stroke; hands moving, touching and teasing with more and more want and desperation.
But somehow it still wasn't enough. âCan I go faster?â, you whimpered, your voice wavering.
âOf course, baby. Go as fast or as slow as you want.â
The room filled with both of your moans and panting, and the sounds of skin hitting on skin â Spencer's fist hitting his pelvis and the palm of your hand slapping against your slick cunt â as you gradually picked up the pace until you were franticly fucking yourself with your fingers.
After a while you slowed down your pace again, trying to catch your breath. You felt the familiar knot form in your belly as you pumped your fingers in and out of your heat, your walls fluttering around them.
âThink I'm getting close...â, you breathed out, followed by a high-pitched gasp when your palm rubbed over your clit.
A groan formed in the back of Spencer's throat. âTouch your clit again; you can go slow or fast, in circles or not, however it feels right.â
You pulled your fingers out and swirled them over your clit, your fingertips effortlessly sliding over it. The muscles in your stomach tightened as your orgasm built up. You fought against the urge to thrust your hips up, trying to keep your focus on rubbing your clit. You didn't want to get distracted, this was the closest you had ever gotten yourself and if you had to concentrate on moving your hips as well as your hand and fingers, you wouldn't be able to keep up with both movements.
Your breathing got quicker and heat was rising up in your body. Just when you felt like you would burst â it stopped; instead of falling over the edge your body refused to go further, keeping you right on the ledge. As if it was taunting you, the sensation became weaker, not even leaving you on the edge any more.
It was always like this when you tried to finish without a toy; your managed to make yourself feel good and when you got close â which also felt like it took forever to even get there â your body refused to give you the release you had been chasing.
A whine left your lips, you were borderline sobbing, as you squeezed your eyes shut. The need to cum and the frustration that it wasn't working, together with the unintentionally edging had you close to tears. You slowed your movements, but kept going nonetheless. âI can't. Told you it doesn't work for me.â
âDon't fight it, you almost had it. Let your body take control and let it guide you.â
You nodded eagerly and met his eyes. âOkay, I- I'll try.â You tried to hold his gaze and after a deep breath you slowly pick up the pace again. Spencer matched your pace, the slow lazy strokes getting faster as he pumped his cock with the same speed your fingers were circling your clit. Your eyelids fluttered as your gaze flickered between his face â all flushed, desire burning in his eyes and slack-jawed, with his lips slightly parted â and his hand stroking his erection.
This time when your hips jolted, you let it happen and shifted your focus to what you were feeling instead of what you were doing. It took you a moment or two to fully let go and give into the pleasure, your movements faltering a couple of times until your mind cleared and your hips and fingers synced up to work together in a delicious, steady rhythm.
âThat's it, baby. Just like that. You are doing so well.â Spencer's voice was low and his tone had gotten so gravelly, he was almost growling.
You leaned back, your moans getting louder again as heat spread under your skin until your whole body was on fire , the knot in your stomach began to tighten again. It got tighter and tighter until â
âOh fuckâ, you screamed out in between your moans as your legs began to shake, and when the coil in your lower belly snapped your thighs clamped shut. Your hand stilled and your fingers stopped working your clit; instead your hips kept jolting, thrusting up into your fingers and prolonged your orgasm on their own accord. Your back arched off the sofa and you slapped your other hand on the cushion next to you, tightly gripping it in your fist.
When your body finally calmed down you gasped for air and through the foggy haze clouding your mind you vaguely registered moaning and a string of words â probably an array of curses, maybe even some praise about how well you did, how pretty you looked when you came, good girl â but the blood rushing through your ears was too loud, making it hard to make out any words.
As your muscles relaxed more, your body got limb and let yourself slide along the back of the couch until you were lying down; pulling one leg onto the couch, the other still hanging down. The more oxygen you got, the more you came back to. The shaking in your legs had almost stopped, instead your shoulders started to shake as you began to giggle. âHoly shit.â
A low laugh made you turn your head to the side and open your eyes. Your were met with Spencer's face right next to yours, a proud smile on his lips as he took in your blissed out state. He had just knelt down next to you, his hand found its way to your forehead and brushed away a few sweaty strands. âSee? Knew you could do it, 'm so proud of you, baby.â He moved his hand to cup your cheeks, then further down to curl it around the back of your neck.
Your smile grew bigger and you took a shaky breath to say something, but before you could Spencer pulled you closer and kissed you desperately; the need to be near you, touch you, feel you, overpowering him. You kissed him back just as feverishly and buried your hands in his hair. Spencer let his hand wander from your neck down to your breasts, his fingers leaving your skin burning up and begging for more. He cupped one of them, gently massaging it and started playing with your nipple, rolling it between his fingertips and pinching it with just the right amount of pressure that made you tremble and arch your back into him.
You whimpered and softly tugged on the strands at the back of his head. He groaned into your mouth in return and you felt him shift his position as he got up, pulling his knee up to hold him self up so he could lean over you. His touch and his lips, finally feeling his hands on your body, made you feel dizzy and reignited the ache in your core, your clit throbbing, desperately waiting for his attention.
The sudden feeling of his hand between your thighs made you jump a little, you broke the kiss and gasped which quickly turned into a high-pitched moan when he slipped one of his fingers in between your slick folds, only grazing your entrance as he collected some of your arousal. You were still sensitive from your orgasm, but the rush of him finally touching you was stronger and you started to move your hips.
He didn't make you wait long and so after a few tight circles over your clit, he slid his fingers down to your entrance and sank two of them into you, filling you up so much better than your own had done and reaching that spot deep inside you that you couldn't quite reach yourself.
The both of you quickly fell in an easy rhythm with each other and he had you a moaning and blabbering mess in a matter of seconds; it would almost be embarrassing if you would care about it. It blew your mind every time â every god damn day â how much power Spencer held over you, both body and mind. And if he would be anybody else, it might even scare you.
âYou looked so beautiful, love, you have no ideaâ, Spencer breathlessly cooed against your delicate skin, kissing and softly nibbling along your neck and throat. âCould watch you play with yourself all day.â
You wouldn't be able to say anything to him even if you wanted, your mind getting blank and fuzzy; all what left your lips where breathy moans and pleas. A whiny gasp left your throat when he curled his fingers, pressing his fingertips against the very spot that made you see stars.
Spencer kissed his way to the sensitive spot under your ear and when he spoke again, whispering into your ear, his lips grazed it. âCan feel how close you are, it's okay, baby. Come for me.â
He asked and your body complied.
With his name on your lips, repeating it over and over like a prayer, your orgasm washed over you. Your eyes rolled back and when your whole body tensed up, you tried to hold on to something to anchor yourself. You blindly reached for his wrist and held it in a tight grip, your other hand curled around his arm, clawing at his biceps. Spencer kept the pace he was circling your clit with his thumb with and pumping his fingers into you as you clenched around them, trying to suck him in deeper.
Your walls were still fluttering around his fingers when you released his wrist from your grip and moved your hand to the back of his head, pulling him even closer to you. The vibrations of him chuckling against your pulse tickled your skin and you whined quietly when he slowly pulled his fingers out of your cunt, leaving you empty. He slightly leaned back and looked at you, a crooked smirk stretched on his lips. âStill want more, huh?â
âPlease, baby, need you, please.â You keened, not at all caring how needy you sounded.
He shook his head at you, not to say no, but in a affectionate you are something else kind of way. âThink you got enough strength left to hold yourself up a little?â
âYes, think so.â You swallowed and breathed deeply, nodding your head as you held his gaze. âI will.â
âThat's my good girl.â Spencer closed the small space between you and kissed you, swallowing the whiny sound you made, his lips lingering on yours for a moment, then he helped you to sit up. You watched him reach for the other pillows that had scattered around the couch and bunch them up, piling them against the back of the seats, right next to you. âC'mere.â
His hands found your hips and you let him guide you in to the position he had wanted you in, right against the pillows. He guided you to sit â kneel really â in front of the piled up pillows, chest facing them and gently pushed your upper body with a hand between your shoulder blades down. You lay against the pile, letting it support your body and after adjusting it a bit, you crossed your arms on top and placed your head down; you were practically hugging the whole thing.
He nudged your leg with his knee to spread your legs more so he could kneel behind you. With a sigh you relaxed your muscles and enjoyed Spencers hands roaming over your back. He planted a couple of kisses on your neck and shoulder, then placed his hand on the backrest behind you to hold himself up and craned his neck to catch your eyes. You shifted the position of your head slightly so you could look at him better.
âAre you comfortable?â
You smiled at him and hummed, nodding your head. Spencer returned the smile and leaned closer, to capture your lips in a kiss. It was supposed to be a quick one, just a small peck, but his front was now flush against your back and his dick had fit so perfectly between you, with his shaft splitting your folds and pressed against your entrance that he couldn't hold back any more.
So instead, he moved his hand from the sofa to the back of your head, holding you close as he slid his tongue into your mouth and deepened the kiss. You moaned into each others mouths, desperately rocking your hips against each other. He pressed himself against you as close as possible, leaving no space between your bodies, as if he wanted to make up for the time he hadn't touched you all evening.
All it took was for him to pull back just a bit more and his cock slipped right into you, bottoming out at once. âShitâ, you hissed at the sudden stretch, directly followed by crying out his name in pleasure when he pulled out just an inch or two and slowly thrust back in, even deeper.
His forehead fell to your shoulder and Spencer let out a long, deep moan. He placed his left hand back on the backrest â closer to your front this time so his arm was circling around you, more like he was holding you in a hug â and his other took a tight hold on your hip. For a long moment neither of you moved, just basking in the feeling of each other and trying to catch your breaths.
Every time you exhaled, a soft whimpering sigh left your lips. You pulled your left arm out from under your body and reached for his hand on the backrest, slotting your fingers between his. He moved his fingers slightly so he could gently squeeze yours.
Spencer was the first to move. You felt him lift his head and press his lips to your shoulder, before he repeated the same slow and deep thrust from before, not moving his body away even an inch from yours. He kept rolling his hips into you in a slow pace, pushing in deep and hard rather than fast.
Your whole body was pushed hard against the pillows in front of you every time he rocked into you, every thrust eliciting a low moan from you. You let your head fall back against him, leaning the side of your face against his. âFuck, feel so good around meâ, he groaned right by your ear, his warm breath hitting your skin.
He kept the slow and hard pace for a while, only moving faster when you pushed back against him, needing to feel more of him. You gasped with every quickening breath, the ache in your stomach was growing again. â'm closeâ, you breathed out, your hand tightening the hold on his.
With his nose he gently nudged your cheek. âYou know what to doâ, he said breathless.
You shook your head quickly, whining desperately. âNo, no, no, nonono, please, need you to touch me. Please.â
âAw, but you did so well earlier.â He planted a kiss to your jaw, then moved his lips to your ear and pulled your earlobe between his teeth, gently nibbling on it.
âPromised...Ah... Said 'yd touch me.. all I want...â You got quieter with every word, your voice high-pitched and shaky with need.
Spencer chuckled and leaned his forehead against your temple. âMmh, I did, didn't I?â All you could do was nod, not trusting your voice any more. But there were no more words needed. He sneaked his free hand between you and the pillows to give you what you wanted, needed.
You hadn't expected to be this sensitive, but when his fingertips slid over your clit you jolted forward, crying out his name. âFuck...â His chest rumbled with a deep laugh against your back and he pushed your body against the pile of pillows with his own to hold you in place. In sync with the quick flicks of his fingers, he picked up the pace he was thrusting into your pussy, his hips snapping against you faster and faster.
You tried to hold yourself up, leaning your forearms against the backrest, but your arms had gotten too weak so all you could do was hold onto it with your hands in a tight grip, taking what Spencer gave you; your head hung low and nothing more then moans left your lips.
When he felt you clench hard around him, Spencer groaned and leaned his temple against yours, his mouth near your ear. âSuch a good girl, taking me so wellâ, he panted and increased the pressure on your clit; the praise did exactly what he had intended and it sent you over the edge, with a choked out cry your back arched against him and you came, your whole body shaking. He had been close before, but it took him by surprise when you pussy clenched so hard around him that you pulled him right with you, his dick twitching and he spilled himself into you.
Both of you collapsed against the back of the sofa, breathing hard, and you let out an uff when Spencer's weight got too much. âSorryâ, he said breathlessly and immediately pulled back; you hissed when he pulled out in the same move. He moved his arm around your torso and helped you holding yourself up. You tiredly grabbed pillow after pillow and just threw it blindly to the side to let them fall to the floor. The last one was a bit difficult to get out from under you, but after you got it out you moved it to the end of the couch.
You let your body fall into the cushions, ringing for air and with your eyes closed. Next to you, Spencer got up. You reached out to him, alarmed when you heard him stumble; he luckily had regained his balance before he fell over his own feet, but his knees were still a bit wobbly. âAre you okay?â, you asked, your lips stretching into a worried smile. He huffed out a laugh and took the hand you had reached out into his, pressing a kiss to your knuckles.
âYeah, I'm good. Just wanted to get us some water.â He gave your fingers a gentle squeeze before he let go and bend down to get his boxer shorts to put them back on before he slowly walked into the kitchen. Not even a minute later he came back and handed you a glass of cold water, his own already half empty.
When you had finished your water he took your glasses and put them down on the coffee table. You lifted your arms and reached for him, beckoning for him to come back and lay down on the couch with you.
âFive minutesâ, you said softly, a wide smile on your lips; you already knew Spencer was about to shoo you up and into the shower.
He huffed, but took your hand and joined you. You made him some space and rested your head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. You hummed content, nuzzling your face deeper into the crook of his neck, closing your eyes. After a short moment you mumbled: âMaybe ten minutes...â
Spencer just laughed and pulled you closer.

summary: joel drags you onto his lap and consumes you.
warnings: 18+ mdni. joel miller x afab!reader. no physical descriptions of reader. slight dom!joel. cock riding. calling a pussy she/her. no beta. w.c: 835
authorâs note: I saw a different gif of Joel sitting on the ground with his thick body and long legs, had a minor black out and this was the result. hope you enjoy!
đđđŹđđđ« đđąđŹđ â
 đđąđđ«đđ«đČ â
đđšđđ„ đđąđ„đ„đđ« đđđŹđđđ« đđąđŹđ
Joel Miller leaning back against the headboard of your bed with his legs spread, completely nude, is a fucking sight.
Somehow, he's still so massive and intimidating in this prone position. He reminds you of a warrior or Viking God who's just come home from slaying in battle.Â
Coarse hair covers his broad chest, blanketing his sturdy abdomen, and trails south below his belly button, creating a dark, densely woven path down to his pelvis. His large cock hangs heavy between his burly, spread thighs; his sac is so full and warm that it reaches the sheets. The dusty pink head weeps, dripping pre cum down the girthy shaft as it bobs and flexes at the sight of you on your knees naked before him.Â
"C'mere." he husks, fisting his length with a meaty paw while you timidly crawl on hands and knees over to him. Â
Your gaze travels up his belly and chest, meeting an untamed, vivid stare as his chocolate eyes bore into you. He makes you feel so small and insignificant, but you know that's a lie when he cups a worn hand along your cheek. He treats you like a goddess; like you formed the moon and stars. He revolves around you.Â
"My sweet, sweet girl." he tugs you into his lap, your sensitive cunt brushing against his belly, leaving a trail of shiny arousal in its wake. "Already so wet. Bet I'll slide right in."Â He purrs.
His words burn wildly through you. All consuming and raging, igniting a searing heat deep in your belly. He taps his crown against your folds, a sharp, sticky 'thwap' bouncing off the walls before he lines his cock up with your tight, fluttering hole tempting a soft whimper to bubble up your throat.
"S'ok, I got you." he consoles you with a deep, soothing voice that slithers into your wary heart.
Joel grips one sturdy hand on your hip and helps you sit on his cock while the other cradles your jaw, fixing his fingers around the back of your neck. "Easy now, slow," he commands with a soft rumble. Â
He traces the outline of your ear with his thumb, distracting you from the pressure as your velvet channel molds around him. He sighs, a long, winding breath through his nose, "All the way. Take e'ery inch."
His bearded jaw clenches when he bottoms out and hears your pitiful whines. Your body would loll like a ragdoll if not for his grip as a blissful fervor runs rampant up your spine and his weeping tip presses against your cervix.
Your lips pull into a tiny 'o', brows pinching tight when Joel shifts, withdrawing his cock before slowly, ever so slowly, spearing it back in and splitting you open. He smirks at your glassy eyes, all wide and wild like an animal caught in a trap.
"Thatta girl." he rumbles, thrusting his hips and breaching your cunt again. He tenderly rubs his thumb along your cheek. His cock flexes at the sight of you gradually losing your mind. "so full of cock, ya can't think straight, huh?"
He drives his cock deeper, meaty thighs bracing the backs of your own on every brutal thrust. Slick trickles down his length as he relentlessly sheathes himself in your heat like a sword spearing into its victims.
Your fingers dig into his brawny shoulders, pressing into the dense cords of muscle as they shift with every devastating shove, demonstrating his strength.
"Shh, I'll take care, a'ya." the thumb that framed your ear is now threateningly hooked under your jaw. A blunt nail acutely bites into the underside of your chin. "Always do, don't I?"
When you meet his foreboding stare, a high-pitched cry rattles through your body straight down to your cunt, making your walls clench like a vice around his length.
A chuckle rumbles from the center of his chest. "S'what I thought."
The hand around your hips tightens as his pace quickens. The pads of his fingers dig sweetly into your skin. He slithers his other hand around the back of your neck securing you in a severe grip; the pads of his fingers dig sweetly into your skin, keeping you still and compliant as the rapturous arousal blazing in your core burns brighter and brighter.
You feel him swell, pushing against your insides and forming a new pathway that'll only and always be his.
"Tha's it. Stay with me." he tips your forehead against his own and penetrates your soul with a voracious stare. "Can feel 'er, squrimin'. This sweet pussy gonna come?"Â
His torso and balls tighten as you writhe in his hold and hit your peak with an agonizing, blissful cry. "Shit- 'ere ya go." he praises, growling darkly through clenched teeth, watching in awe as you convulse from his unyielding and gluttonous touch.Â
He wants you close. So close he can breathe in every needy, angelic breath he punches from of your lungs as he fucks you to the edge over and over again. He wants to watch you fall apart in his arms so he can put your back together. Breath by breath. Whimper by whimper. Orgasm by orgasm.

how you can help palestine
â
been thinking about high sex with paige bueckers...
 â ââ â warnings ;; nsfw under the cut, mdni. fingering and substance usage (blunt/weed)
the blunt was in between paige's pink lips, her eyes fluttering shut as she inhaled. you watched her carefully, taking note of everything â the way her blonde hair was pulled into the loose bun she knew made you go insane, the way the smoke curled around her face, highlighting the soft curves of her cheeks and the delicate line of her jaw.
she exhaled slowly, the cloud drifting lazily towards the ceiling. paige opened her eyes and caught you staring as a smirk began tugging corners of her lips.
"you always watch me like that," she said, her voice a low murmur, sending shivers down your spine.
"can't help it," you replied, leaning back against the couch. "you look so damn beautiful."
paige laughed, a sound that was both light and intoxicating. she took another drag from the blunt and leaned forward, her gaze locked onto yours. the air between you felt charged, the room suddenly too small for the both of you.
"c'mere," she whispered, beckoning you with the tilt of her head. you moved closer, feeling the magnetic pull that paige always seemed to have on you.
she then handed you the blunt, her fingers brushing against yours. "your turn," she said, her eyes foggy as her lips turned upward into a lazy smirk.
you took the blunt and brought it to your lips, inhaling deeply. the smoke filled your lungs, and for a moment, everything else faded away. when you exhaled, paige was still watching you, her expression unreadable.
"y'know," she said, her voice soft, "i think about you, like all the time."
your heart skipped a beat. "yeah?"
"yeah," she hummed, her fingers trailing lightly along your arm. "you're always on my mind."
you set the blunt aside and cupped her face in your hands, your thumbs brushing against her cheeks. "'m crazy about you, p."
she leaned into your touch, her eyes fluttering shut again. "then show me, baby," she whispered.
you didn't need any more encouragement. your lips met hers in a slow, lingering kiss, the taste of weed and desire mingling between you. paige sighed into your mouth, her hands tangling in your hair as she pulled you closer.
she pulled you into her lap, your legs wrapping around her as if trying to meld your bodies together. the kiss deepened, growing more needy. paige's fingers trailed down your back, sending shivers through your entire body. you could feel the rapid beating of her heart against your chest, matching the rhythm of your own.
her lips moved to your neck, planting soft, wet kisses along your jawline and down to your collarbone. you let out a soft moan, your hands gripping her waist, pulling her even closer. paige's breath was hot against your skin, each exhale sending waves of warmth through you.
"you're driving me wild," you murmured, your voice breathless and filled with need.
paige looked up at you, her eyes red and dilated. "good," she replied, her voice a seductive whisper. "cause i want you just as much."
you captured her lips again, your kiss filled with all the passion and desire that had been building between you. your hands roamed over her body, exploring every curve, committing each sensation to memory. paige's touch mirrored your own, her fingers tracing patterns on your skin, igniting warmth wherever they went.
the world outside ceased to exist; it was just you and paige, lost in each other, in the intoxicating blend of smoke and lust. your movements became more frantic, your bodies pressing together, seeking relief from the burning need that consumed you both.
"god, i need you," paige rasped, her voice breaking the silence that had enveloped you.
you pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes. "'m here," you said, your voice steady despite the storm of emotions raging inside you. "i'm yours, paige. always."
her hands found your hips, looking up at you as she sniffled. paige grabbed your wrist, pulling the blunt into the mouth as she inhaled. after she took a hit, she grabbed your head and blew the smoke into your mouth before pulling you into a deep kiss. the combination of her lips and the lingering taste of weed made your head spin in the most delightful way.
you began grinding against her lap, desperate for any kind of friction. paige hands gripped your hips, guiding your movements as she kissed you with a fervor that matched your own. she grabbed the blunt, placing it in your lips. you inhaled, feeling the smoke fill your lungs as you moaned. the sensation of her body pressed against yours, the heat between you both, was almost too much to bear.
"feel so good," you whispered against her lips, your voice trembling with need. the blunt was now long forgotten, placed on the coffee table.
paige's eyes fluttered open, her gaze intense and filled with longing. "want you so bad," she murmured, her hands sliding under your shirt, fingertips dancing across your skin before she found your bra.
she began gripping your boobs, your head falling back. every touch was heightened, you knew it was because you were both high off your minds but still. the touch sent a shiver down your spine, and you arched into her, craving more as your hands tangling in her hair, you pulled her into another kiss.
paige responded with a low growl, her hands exploring your body with a newfound urgency. she tugged at your shirt, pulling it over your head, and you followed suit, eager to feel her skin against yours. the moment your shirts hit the floor, paige's lips were on you again, trailing kisses down your neck and across your collarbone.
you let out a soft moan, your hands roaming over her back, feeling the muscles tense and relax under your touch. the need for her was almost overwhelming, every fiber of your being aching for more of her.
paige's mouth found its way to your boob, her tongue teasing your nipple, sending waves of pleasure through you. you gasped, your fingers digging into her shoulders as you ground harder against her lap, the friction driving you wild.
"please," you whispered, your voice barely more than a breath. "need you, p."
she looked up at you, her eyes dark with desire. "need you too, pretty," she replied, her voice husky. she shifted, guiding you to lay back on the couch as she positioned herself between your legs.
her hands trailed down your body, her touch both gentle and commanding. she leaned down, capturing your lips in a kiss that was both tender and demanding, her body pressing against yours in the most delicious way.
you wrapped your legs around her, pulling her closer, desperate to feel every inch of her against you. the world around you faded into oblivion as paige's fingers found their way between your thighs, her touch sending shockwaves of pleasure through you. she dipped her finger in your waistband, before she pushed a finger into your sopping pussy.
you arched into her, your breath coming in ragged gasps as she moved her fingers with expert precision. "oh, fuck," you moaned, your body trembling with the intensity of your need.
paige's lips found your ear, her breath hot against your skin. "i've got you," she whispered, her voice a soothing balm to your frayed nerves. "just let go."
with those words, you felt the tension within you snap, your body convulsing with pleasure as you cried out her name. paige held you close, her touch never wavering, riding out the waves of your climax until you were spent and trembling in her arms.
she grabbed the blunt from the table, taking a deep inhale before passing it to you. the room was filled with a hazy glow, the remnants sex mingling with the lingering smoke. you took the blunt from her, your fingers brushing against hers, and brought it to your lips, the familiar warmth of the smoke grounding you in the present moment.
if you enjoyed, any interaction is greatly appreciated!
with love, rylin đđ

NEMESIS
part three of five
⏠you were supposed to steer clear of mattheo riddle. Shame that he was just so irrestible.
⏠sfw; wc: 7.0k; cw: blood, mentions of violence, mattheo needs therapy asap; tags: gryffindor!reader, muggleborn!reader, enemies to lovers, my favorite part so far ngl
( masterlist )
previously on nemesisâŠ
Mattheo Riddle stood in the doorway, his chest rising and falling in uneven, ragged breaths, knuckles still stained with the dark red of drying blood. His brown hair was a chaotic mess, wild curls fell into his stormy eyes, which burned with some unspoken rage- or perhaps mere adrenaline. The candlelight of the room flickered across him, illuminating the sharp contrast of the crimson streaks marring his jawline and collar. His shirt was rumpled and torn at the hem, blood smudged along the fabric as though he'd wiped his hands there in a haste. He looked slightly feral, yet oddly composed, the ghost of a smirk tugging at his lips when his eyes landed on you.
âWell, well,â he drawled, his voice low and edged with amusement as he stepped into the room, boots heavy on the flagstone floor. His gaze roamed over your sitting figure, taking in your startled expression, the nightdress you'd thrown on prematurely and now regretted even owning as it made you feel utterly exposed and vulnerable under his heated stare.
âDidn't think I'd have company tonight.â He swiped a hand through his hair, smearing the blood further, the act almost calculated in its casualness. His lips quirked into a crooked grin, the kind that didnât quite reach his eyes. âWhatâs wrong, princess? Can't see blood?â There was a teasing lilt to his words, but his eyes lingered on you a moment too long, as though he were trying to decide what to make of you- or what you might make of him. Your alarm rang, but neither of you averted your eyes from one another. Finally, you raised your voice, but it was but a timid mumbling. The strange sense of security of the forest had left you.
âWould you like a muffin?â
He didn't react at first, instead letting his eyes rake over your figure. Without a word, he slumped down on the bench opposite you with the table ensuring a distance between you. He leaned back casually and placed a finger on his lips as if lost in thought, but his eyes were as awake as those of a hawk, registering every little squirm, every raise and fall of your chest.
To escape his stare, you rose from your seat in a haste and walked over to the oven. The muffins had turned out well and you left them on the table to cool off. Then, you worked up the courage to turn around and meet his dark eyes. They hadn't retracted from your figure and you couldn't suppress a shiver. In a way, he reminded you of a predator, siting to attack, cowering for the jump, ready to go off at any second now.
âHow did you find someone to beat up at three in the morning?â you asked, thankful that your voice didn't shake. He blinked, for the first time, as if he was pulled out of a haze. It was a paradox, how you found yourself reassured when he quirked a smirk, however dangerous and sinister it may be, because he looked like himself again. When did that begin to be a calming thing? Something had to be seriously wrong with you.
Mattheo waited with an answer, fishing another pack of cigarettes from his trousers' pockets and igniting one. The smell lingered uncomfortably in the air, but you pretended you could neither smell nor see it, knowing by his heavy stare, he was burning to elicit a reaction from you. âTerry Boot. That ravenclaw prefect.â You knew Terry, you sat with him in Arithmancy. Though he was a bit of a know-it-all and a little arrogant, you got along just fine. Terry wasn't one to pick fights, but you wouldn't have suspected him of being the culprit anyway.
With a deliberate movement, you sat back down across from him. You hid your shaking hands under the table and managed to return his gaze steadily. âWhy did you beat him up?â His lip curled as Riddle shifted slightly in his seat. You struggled to remain still when he straightened up, rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward subtly. His magnetic eyes fixed you in place, you wouldn't have been able to move even if you wanted to. Riddle crooked his head slightly when you didn't retreat and his smile widened.
Finally, he averted his eyes to take a drag out of his cigarette before turning back to you, a prosaic expression on his face. âYou want to know the reason I beat him up, princess?â
Mattheo felt drunk. The adrenaline of the fight still cursed through him, the thrill of inciting violence, make someone pay for his fucking life had him ride high. And now, here you were, in your little white nightdress, the embodiment of everything he couldn't have. Something good and pure. And Mattheo couldn't think straight, or rather, as all inebriation did, his filter had been discarded in favor how uncontrolled raging of thoughts. At the same time, he felt detached from himself and trapped in a too-intense dream. Mattheo was both wrecked and lifted. Too bad you had to stumble upon him when he was riding high with anxiety and elation.
âYes,â you said, bringing him back to the present. A present in which you sat across from him, slightly shivering but looking him steadily in the eye nonetheless. Mattheo could have used legilimency on you to dig into your thoughts and see himself through your eyes, but he didn't. It felt more exciting to watch you, to try and pry you open until you exposed a part of yourself. âHe was just there,â Mattheo answered honestly and observed your reaction. There barely was any. You showed neither repulsion nor intrigue, only a light frown adorned your face.
âThat's all there is to it,â you said, but it was not a question, more of an assessment. An ironic chuckle left his lips. âThat's the kind of guy I am, princess.â
Mattheo felt wild with something indiscernible when you leaned forward as well. Then, you did something so utterly strange and unpredictable it stole his breath away. Your hands came up to lay themselves upon the smooth surface of the table, you stabilized them against the wood, but still, they shook. Visibly. What in earth were you attempting to do here by showing him your weakness, putting your fear on full display? It was something Mattheo wouldn't have done even in his wildest dreams and his gaze lingered on your trembling hands. With an aimless motion, you turned them so the back of your hands lay upon the woods and your palms were exposed, as if you were awaiting a gift, or praying.
âDoes that bother you?â
Through your strange action and direct tone, you had momentarily distracted him. Not a hard task, seeing as emotions and trains of thought flickered through him in uncontrolled speed. Almost feverish. Looking back at you, he contemplating your question. Only so long it wasn't to hasty, not long enough to be considered actual doubt. âNo,â he lied and took another drag of his cigarette.
As Riddle blew out the smoke at you, you tried not to blink it away. Instead, you raised a skeptical eyebrow. Your eyes still locked on him, as if he'd pound on you if you broke contact, you pulled the tray of cooling muffins closer and took one out from among them. Over the table, you pushed it towards him as if you were offering him a peace treaty- or throwing him a rope in deep waters. âTake a muffin.â
He scoffed, flicking the burnt-out cigarette away. It glinted in the dark for a few seconds before molding into the background. âI don't want to eat muffins and talk about my feelings. I have no ambitions to be little miss perfectâs newest little social project.â The words were meant to rile you up, but you showed no reaction. âYou can't do a lot of talking if you're eating,â you said bravely, âCan you?â
To your utter surprise, Riddle reached across the table and took the muffin. You watched as he discarded the cup and bit into the soft dough, somewhat anxious about whether he'd like it. But you didn't let any of that anxiety show on your face, putting on a mask of indifference. Now unoccupied once more, your hands started shaking again and you suppressed the urge to conceal them under the table. For a few seconds, you sat in silence as he ate. It was a strange sight to behold and you'd have liked to take a picture of it: Mattheo Riddle, covered in blood, eating one of your muffins.
Only when he's finished, Riddle spoke up again. âThey're good.â Not expecting the compliment, your eyes widened and a traitorous little blush creeped onto your cheeks. To your fortune, the few floating candles weren't enough to illuminate your face properly. âThank you,â you said, hoping that it didn't sound too timid.
Mattheo felt daring in his adrenaline induced state. As he watched you avert your eyes and your lips twitch, his irritation at your strangely endearing behavior surged within him. For a second, he wished nothing more than to fuck the good girl attitude out of you. Approach you here in the kitchen, get you talking, get you all soft and pliant for him to ruin your and your perfect little nightdress. Alas, he discarded the thought. So, Mattheo thought bitterly to himself, he at least seemed to possess a certain level of self-control. Even though you were testing it.
âWhy are you here?â you asked him once you'd found your voice again and looked back at him. It was as if the tension in the air had subsided slightly, or rather, been resolved by another kind of suspense. He was no longer so dangerous. Instead of calculating fear, you felt yourself overcome with curiosity. Riddle raised his brows at you and you clarified. âIn the kitchens at three in the morning, I mean. I reckon that's not a habit of yours.â
If only you knew how the kitchens were his place of retreat when nightmares chased after him even in his waking hours, when sleep would loom over him like a threat.
Riddle didn't answer, and it didn't surprise you. What you said next, however, did. Maybe it was the bruises and cuts on him, seeping with blood that collected in sat puddles on the table and stained his white, torn shirt. Maybe you did because you were tired, maybe the words had slipped past your lips out of exhaustion and a lack of concentration. Or maybe, it was the dim light, or, that you just wanted to tell somebody. Somebody who wouldn't fuss over you, someone who wouldn't worry. âI bake to relieve stress,â you shared hesitantly and your tone seemed to catch his attention. He was frowning, but you continued, watching your hands intently. They had stopped shaking.
âI don't usually come down here at night, today was an exception. I was just so stressed out over the extra coursework for McGonnagall. It's like I feel the need to make it up to her. You know, because I disappointed her. It's important to me that she likes me, or else I can't stand to sit before her and be the passive receiver of anything she may inflict upon me.â
A long silence followed this confession. No sound from outside managed to penetrate this level of the castle, so the only sound was yours and his breathing, that seemed to get louder with every second he showed no reaction. In order to do something, anything, you reached for a muffin to nibble on it. It was a good patch, your assessment had been correct. Almost shyly, you looked back at him, then quickly back to your muffin. Regret washed over you. What in Godâs name had you been thinking? This would come to bite you in the ass later, you were sure of it. Until-
âSometimes,â Riddle said slowly, weighing every word. âI need a solitary space to confide the monster that I am.â His raised chin indicated that he was waiting for you to recoil or advert your eyes, but you did neither.
âYou think you're a monster?â you asked quietly, curiously. It was almost too natural, the way you leaned towards him over the table, your muffin long forgotten. It was as if the world had shrunken down to an empty kitchen and two people sitting across one another at a polished table. His dark eyes seemed to hide a whole world and intrigue pulled you towards it like moths to the light, like Icarus to the sun. Or maybe, you were just getting sappy.
Riddle chuckled dryly. âYou don't?â The question sounded trivial, utterly meaningless, but you wouldn't be deterred by his indifference.
âWhat does it matter what I think?â Somehow, you found yourself whispering, as if the silence itself had ears.
His answer caught you off guard, simply because you'd never have expected these words to fall from Mattheo Riddleâs lips. âI don't know.â For a second, he almost seemed vulnerable, bathed in the warm, soft glow of the candles. Without you realizing it, they had hovered closer, and now, you could fully admire the bleeding cuts and bruises all over his face. You knew he didn't get them because he wasn't the superior fighter, he always was, you'd seen him fight countless times. It was because he didn't shield himself, he didn't bother with protecting himself, he only strived to inflict as much damage as possible. You couldn't imagine that Terry would have been able to lay a finger on him if Riddle hadn't aimed for it. In a way, whether he did or didn't know, he was punishing both his opponent and himself.
âIs that why you fight people?â you asked quietly. âBecause you're a monster?â Riddle only shrugged, but you thought he'd grasped what you really wanted to ask by the way he looked upon your white-clad figure.
âWhy are you talking to me?â he asked, but it was more curiosity than apprehension. You, little miss perfect, not fleeing from him as usual. No, you seemed to be rooted to your spot, and your eyes on him made it impossible for him to leave, to move. What if you were caught? What if, tomorrow, the whole school would know you'd spend the night with him in the kitchens. Oh, how ashamed you would be, how abashed, how humiliated. You'd turn from him in class, where your friends were watching, but in the forest, and now, here, you exposed yourself for him in a way that felt more intimate than if you'd taken off that little nightdress of yours. Your eyes were open, like welcoming gates, and it was unexpectedly disarming to look into them.
Mattheo had asked why you were talking to him, but in reality, he had wanted to ask a different question. Why were you kind? You seemed to handle your kindness as you did your muffins, handing it out without a thought to anyone. Why had you shown him your hands? Why had you told him about your stress? How could you be so unlike what he'd come to expect of people? Though it wasn't as if you didn't think about how you handed out your kindness, and it only made you more intriguing. You were smart, reflected, realistic and honest. And, you were dealing with weapons Mattheo had never learned how to fend off.
âWhy not?â you asked after rolling his question around in your head. You kept a close eye on him as his brows shot up and sighed. âWhy am I talking to you? Well, I suppose because I am in a room with you.â
Your bluntness took him off guard. It was a perfectly simple answer that would have sufficed with anyone. But he wasn't just anyone. Or was he? When had the rules applied to others ever applied to him in the same way? He looked into your eyes and saw no lie. You might have been afraid, or cautious, but he knew that, in this moment, you saw him as human. Just as human as any student who might have stumbled upon you and your muffins.
For the first time this night, you glanced at the large grandfather clock in one corner of them room. As if you'd overcome the fear that he'd jump you unexpectedly if you didn't keep your eyes on him. A small, almost apologetic smile tugged at your lips as you rise from your seat. âI better get going, it's a long way up to Gryffindor tower.â
Right. Mattheo had almost forgotten the rest of the world, and he hadn't missed it. But for the first time, he felt like solitude in this kitchen would feel empty and meaningless, without you. So he rose from the bench as well and watched as you wrapped the muffins in a large handkerchief and placed them on one of the tables. Suddenly, you halted your movement and glanced up at him, as if you'd remembered something important. You pulled another handkerchief from one of the drawers, picked out a handful of muffins and wrapped them into a smaller bundle. Mattheo didn't realize you intended it for him until you extended your hand towards him.
âYou can just tell your friends you stole them from me,â you said easily and gave him a hesitant smile. âI'll make sure to glare extra hard at you tomorrow.â
Without a word, he took the bundle. It was weird. Now, it felt like the two of you shared a secret. The unspoken agreement to tell nobody of this meeting hovered in the air between you, and you gave him a small nod he felt tempted to return. But then, you turned away, and the words stumbled from his lips like outstretched claws trying to keep you inside this already special memory for another few seconds. Mattheo hated how desperate he felt for this one moment, but he couldn't deny it. âBold of you to think I'd share these with my friends.â
You laughed, and it stirred something inside him. The sound sobered him up, to the reality that you were supposed to hate him, and he was supposed to hate you for it, for being as unforgiving as the rest of the world. But you didn't seem to hate him. When you laughed, Mattheo found himself questioning whether you could hate at all. You seemed like someone who'd been loved all her life.
âAre you not taking these with you?â he asked finally, indicating the larger bundle of muffins on one of the tables. Shaking your head, you opened the portrait to leave, but kept your eyes on him. âThey're for the house elves.â Then, you were gone.
Over the next week, Mattheo found himself looking for you in crowds, on the Gryffindor table at mealtimes and started noticing things about you in class. The way you'd absorb all that the teachers said, the way the ink would spill over your fingers as you scribbled down notes, the way you laughed with your friends, but never too loud. How you'd sometimes be so deep in thought you didn't even register the end of class. Mattheo noticed the way you seemed exhausted and burned out at dinner but still found it in you to laugh with your friends.
At the same time, excitement in the castle was rising approaching the weekend when the first quidditch game of the season, Gryffindor vs Slytherin, would take place. The usual brawls and hexing between students of the two houses caused smaller uproars every other day, but, for the first time in his time at Hogwarts, Mattheo found himself preoccupied. You drew him in like a magnet, making him suddenly show up to classes on time to watch you, get the chance to finally understand what it was that had him so distracted with you. He hated the way he couldn't seem to get away from you, but he couldn't resist it.
You, too, found yourself strangely preoccupied with looking for Mattheo Riddle in crowds or in class. You hadn't mentioned the late night encounter to your friends, and part of you was starting to believe it might have been a product of your imagination, your exhausted, sleep-deprived mind playing tricks on you, a confusion of dream and reality. But just when you had almost convinced yourself, you were proven wrong on the Thursday before the big match, sitting in the library and hovering over a book as you absentmindedly chewed on your quill. Just when you thought your eyelids would simply drop, his voice pulled you out of your haze.
âCareful there, princess, you'll run out of quills before you can finish all these notes.â
Startled, your head shot up, and there he was. Riddle leaned casually against the table you occupied, hands in the pockets of his trousers and a subtle smirk on his lips as he looked down on you. For once, his shirt was unstained, which took you off guard more than anything. Until you realized the situation you were in. Quickly, you pulled the quill away and sat up a little straighter. âI wasn't-â you hesitated. âWait, what are you even doing here?â
Riddle raised his brows until they almost disappeared behind his dark curly hair that fell into his face. âThe libraryâs public. Though I didn't expect to be this entertained while I was here." He was grinning again and pulled out the chair opposite you for himself. You watched him sit down before you and lean back in his chair, gaze fixed upon you. âWell, princess,â he indicated the books with a nod, âPlanning your next adventure breaking curfew, or is this one strictly academic?â
Now, it was your turn to raise your brows, though you couldn't suppress the smallest smile. It had been real, you now knew it had been real all along. âUnlike you, I actually like to study.â
Riddle leaned forwards a bit, propping his elbows up on his legs and resting his chin on his fist. Though the movement was casual, his gaze was anything but. It was still magnetizing, but it no longer held the explosive, uncontrollable heat as it had the night you'd offered him a muffin in the kitchens. âWho says I don't like to study?â He asked and his pleasant smile almost fooled you into buying into his nonchalance. âI'm learning a lot at the moment.â
Over your book, you threw him a quick glance. âAbout what?â
âYou,â he said simply, still with that casual smirk on his face. For a few seconds, you were simply irritated. Then, it dawned on you that Mattheo Riddle had just flirted with you. Blinking perplexedly, you stuttered out an incoherent response and cursed yourself for being so quick to fall into his traps. Clearly, he was using his charm to get one over on you, establish himself as the one in control. But you would no longer be his little plaything- not after you'd seen a small glimpse of the real him that night in the kitchens. No, you were determined not to let him push you around.
But before you could shoot back, someone tapped your shoulder shakily and you turned in your seat, momentarily distracted from Mattheo. It was Neville, who cast nervous glances at Riddle before quickly looking away, afraid he might meet his eye. When you cleared your throat and smiled at him, his eyes snapped back to you and he seemed to find his voice. âHey, uhm⊠thanks again for your work on that potions assignment, I just received an E and I couldâve never done it without you.â He seemed a bit breathless and stepped from one foot to the other nervously.
âAn E?â you repeated, momentarily forgetting all about Riddle. âWow, Neville, that's amazing!â He thanked you brightly before scurrying off with one last, terrified look at Riddle. When you turned back to him, you smiled a little abashedly. To your surprise, he returned your small smile, eyes glinting. âYou're really wasting your talents in Gryffindor, you know that?â
You wanted to glare at him, but you couldn't suppress a light grin at his words. âAnd what would I do, say, in Slytherin, Riddle? Hex people just for fun?â
âMattheo.â
Taken aback, you blinked at him and his lip curled into a grin. âCall me Mattheo.â You hesitated for a second. The silly thought that you might not be able to say his name popped into your head, the irrational fear that you'd pronounce it wrong. So you only nodded and began packing your books to get them back to their shelves. It was already dark outside and the library was deserted as the time on the clock was approaching curfew.
When you rose from your seat, Riddle did, too, watching as you heaved the stack of books into your arms. For a few seconds, he watched you struggle to stabilize the weight, then, the weight was suddenly lifted from your arms as he got hold of the books. Your perplexion was met with a wink. âSo, where are these going, princess?â
You motioned for him to follow you and, in silence, you moved through the rows of shelves, the stack of books growing smaller by the minute. When only one of them was left, you finally broke the silence. You turned to him, and your breath hitched at his proximity. Behind you the bookshelves, you refused the retreat or avert your eyes. Instead, you held out your hand while steadily looking into his eyes. âThat oneâs mine, I'll be taking that.â
But he didn't give it to you. You were faintly reminded of your days in primary school when the boys would hold your books over your head to tease you. Mattheo didn't hold it over your head, but reaching out and taking it from him seemed just as impossible as jumping iowards to grab your books back when you were younger had been. Instead of following your request, he made the smallest step forward. Placing the book on a nearby table, his arms came up to cage you against the bookshelves as his eyes glimmered in the dark like the embers of his cigarettes. The clock struck, it was officially past curfew now.
âWhat the hell is it about you?â Mattheo murmured through clenched teeth, his eyes raking over your features. He seemed to be talking to himself more than you. Only now did you realize how much taller than you he was. His figure loomed over you, but as he placed his elbows on the shelf, he dipped his head down, until it was only inches away from you. Still, you made no attempt to step back. Lifting your chin, you met his gaze and a nervous coil tightened in your stomach.
âWhat's it about?â he whispered, not taking his eyes off of you. âYour book.â His voice may have been hushed, but it rumbled softly in a way that made heat rush into your cheeks.
âIt's an old mythological story,â you breathed, as if you were telling him a secret. âAbout a ten year long war. One of the parties kidnapped the most beautiful woman alive, Helen, from the other, and they fought a decade over her. The book tells the last days of said war.â
âA decade,â he murmured, and as he spoke, you could feel the exhale of his breath fanning over your face. Was he trying to intimidate you? If yes, he was doing a bad job. You were more excited than anything. Whispering with the enemy between bookshelves after curfew- the list of forbidden things you were doing sent an unknown thrill through your insides. âWhat the hell was the deal about fucking Helen?â
âDon't know,â you answered, feeling the books against the back of your head when you angled it up to get a better look at him in the dark. âBut in some myths, she's described to be the daughter of nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution for the sin of hubris. Funny, huh?â
You didn't even know what you were saying anymore, and Mattheo smiled lightly as if he knew exactly what was going on inside your head. Which you didn't doubt for a second, given his rumored legilimency skills. âHm,â he hummed, looking down on you with an indiscernible glint in his dark brown eyes. âThis here is quite hubristic, isn't it? Someone like me talking to someone like you.â
You frowned, head quite dizzy from his proximity. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â His heavy gaze on you made you feel as if you were standing under a stage light instead of a dark library. For a quick, crazy moment, you thought he was going to kiss you, but he only dipped down further to bring his hand to your neck. It felt rough and calloused, undoubtedly from being smashed into someoneâs jaw every other week. Mattheo watched it against your bare neck with an odd expression, not unlike awe. When your brearth hitched in your throat, his eyes snapped back up at you.
âIT IS PAST CURFEW!â
The both of you broke apart so hastily you stumbled against the opposite bookshelve. The cutting voice of Madame Prince had rung through the library, and now, you spotted her figure a few shelves away, approaching you quickly with a lantern in her hand. Frozen in place, terror washed over you, when suddenly, you're were yanked backwards. You had to stumble along as Mattheo started to run, dashing past bookshelves and pulling you with him. To your utter incomprehension, he was laughing madly as he ushered you out of the library and down the next corridor.
âWe can't run from a teacher, Mattheo!â you cried in a panicked voice as you rounded a corner and dashed up a staircase. But Riddle only looked over his shoulder with a teasing grin and winked at you. âI love the way you say my name, princess!â
Past the windows and classroom doors, up the stairs and along corridors you flew, your hand tightly clasped in his. Only his relentless pull still kept you going as you gasped for breath, but Mattheo seemed completely unbothered, still giggling like a maniac. It suddenly dawned on you that this might be the happiest you had ever seen Mattheo Riddle, and the thought elicited a small giggle even from you. The situation was just so absurd. Never once would you have pictured being dragged through the Hogwarts corridors by Mattheo Riddle on the run from a teacher, all the while giggling like school children. This had to be one of those crazy dreams you forgot five seconds after waking up. But you didn't want to forget, and, in all honesty, you didn't want to wake up either.
Finally, when your legs felt like they were about to collapse and your lungs screamed for air, Mattheo slowed down and you slumped against a wall, sliding down against it until you were sitting on the ground and heaving for breath. He seemed almost giddy with adrenaline as he rocked on the balls of his feet in front of you, letting out a breathless chuckle. âNow, this is what I call a Thursday night!â
âIf you say so,â you replied breathlessly and held your side. Only now did you spare a second glance at your surroundings and your eyes widened. âWeâre at Gryffindor tower?â This was the corridor before the one with the portrait of the fat lady that marked the entrance to your common room, you recognized it even in the dark.
âDidn't quite trust you to find your way back in your state, princess,â he grinned teasingly, but he didn't sound malicious at all. His teasing had lost its sharp edge somewhat.
When you finally managed to establish a stable breathing pattern, you got to your feet and dusted off your robes to have something to do with your hands. âGood night,â you said softly and he flashed you a grin.
âSweet dreams, princess.â
The Friday was buzzing with electricity as it was the day before Saturday's quidditch game. But you only had half a mind for the general excitement, occasional brawls and Harry and Ronâs quidditch talk, because you were still dwelling in the memories of last night. Even hours later, you could still feel his hand on your neck like that of a ghost, could recall the sound of his hushed baritone and the look in his eyes. Maybe he transformed into another creature at night, one of allure and intrigue. But, who were you kidding. It had been him, and now, in the daylight, you struggled to reconcile your friends' and your previous perception of him with the man you'd come to know after curfew.
âHello? Earth to y/n!â Ron waved his hand in front of your eyes and you snapped out of your daze. It was the last lesson before lunch, potions with Professor Slughorn, and the chatter and clatter of students enabled you to talk in class when you usually couldn't. But it also meant you didn't have an excuse for staring into space. âBeing distracted in class is my job,â Ron grinned, âYou can't just steal my job, or Slughorn will notice how bad I am at potions!â
With a little laugh, you looked after the potion and stirred it around. It had the desirable color already, but you pretended to be busying yourself with the fire to throw a quick glance around the classroom. Mattheo sat in one of the corners next to Nott, they seemed to be engaged in conversation. Their potion had the described color as well. You watched them from behind the cauldron. Nott was frowning deeply and seemed to be attacking his friend with a string of questions. Mattheo looked annoyed, but then, he caught your eye and his lips twitched. Quickly, you got to your feet again and avoided to look in his direction, therefore missing Nottâs suspicious look.
âHey, I think we're finished,â Ron spoke up, flipping through the pages of your potions book. âIt's got the right color and everything!â
âYeah, I think you're right,â you smiled absentmindedly and Ron frowned. With a thud, he closed the book and leaned over the table towards you. âAre you⊠okay?â Taken aback, you focused your attention on him and missed the way Mattheoâs eyes narrowed as your ginger friend. âWhat do you mean?â
âYou've been⊠I don't know, a little distracted lately,â said Ron uncomfortably. âEver since that dada lesson, you know?â
âRight,â you mumbled under your breath and gave him what you hoped was a reassuring smile. âI'm fine, really, I just need to get more sleep.â That was not a lie. Your nights worth of curfew breaking only added to the exhaustion you felt from the nights you spent studying in the common room when everyone else had already left.
Ron glanced towards the corner of the room you had found your attention drawn to as well and leaned in even closer, lowering his voice to a murmur. âHe's not threatening you or anythinâ, is he?â he asked, âRiddle, I mean.â
His question surprised you so much you were stunned to silence, and when you opened your mouth to reply, a large shadow fell upon the two of you. âAh, quite lovely,â smiled Slughorn fatherly as he inspected your potion. âVery well indeed, but I wouldn't expect anything else from you, Miss y/n.â He didn't acknowledge Ron in the slightest, but gave you ten points for Gryffindor and moved on to the next table.
You noticed that he avoided Mattheoâs table, even though they were finished already. You remembered the rumors about your professor and Voldemort, that he'd been part of his Slugclub, and how Slughorn had been hiding from him ever since he was resurrected. You wondered what it had to be like, to be treated like an undesirable addition to his fatherâs horrors not only by the student body but also by his teacher. By you also. You had to recognize it. Though it was not as if you didn't have any reason to. Who would Mattheo have turned into if students and teachers alike hadn't already shaped a path for him that was so self-destructive?
Ten minutes later, Slughorn dismissed the class. Ron grabbed his bag with the words âI'm so hungry I'm gonna dieâ and lunged himself at the door before anyone else could. That left you to swipe the table clean and bottle up the potion for Slughorn. Hermoine had already taken off after Ron, but Harry waited for you by the door as you packed up your things and turned around, only to run into a solid obstacle. Stumbling back a few feet, you looked up to see Mattheo grinning at you. âOops.ïżœïżœïżœ Behind him, Nott rolled his eyes.
Before Harry could come over and start a brawl, you brushed past Mattheo with a âno worriesâ, but he got a hold of your wrist and turned you around. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Harry shuffling closer. âWill you be at the game tomorrow, princess?â
âOf course,â you answered, unable to hide your smile. âCheering for Gryffindor.â
âNaturally,â he said and his thumb brushed over your wrist where your pulse was. âI'll se you there, then.â And with a wink, he pushed past Harry and followed Nott out of the classroom. Once he'd departed, you met Harryâs eyes, and saw his raised brows.
âSo, what was that about?â Harry asked as you climbed the steps up to the Great Hall. As you were quite late for lunch, no one crossed your path who might have listened to your conversation, so he didn't bother to hush his voice. There was a subtle frown on his face and you felt his eyes on you from beside you.
âWhat do you mean?â you asked, playing dumb, and he gave you a youâre-perfectly-aware kind of look. With a shrug, you picked at your shirt. You weren't prepared for this conversation.
âI've heard⊠rumors,â said Harry carefully and you whipped your head around. âNothing like that!â he clarified hastily and raised his hands in mock surrender. âJust⊠some portraits said they'd seen you leave the library together yesterday after curfew. And, I don't know if you've noticed, but Riddle has been staring at you all the time for the last week. Ever since you had detention with him.â
âWhat?â you said, taken aback, because you hadn't really noticed any change in his demeanor outside of your nightly encounters. Harry shrugged. âAt the start I thought he was staring at me, you know? But he's been looking at you in class, also. And, like, constantly.â He looked worried. âIs there anythingâŠ?â
âI'm not- we're not- Iâd never-â, you spluttered out, but Harry gave you a reassuring smile. âI get it, just wanted to make sure.â
âI'm sorry,â you said, biting your lips and staring at your feet. âI've been talking to him a few times since the detention and⊠wellâŠ,â you were grappling with accurate words to describe how you felt about Mattheo Riddle. Because you would lie if you said you planned to stay away from him. âWe're not friends,â you told him quickly, âI still hate his guts, and I know you and him have this enmity-â
âReally, y/n, you don't have to defend yourself or anything,â Harry assured you. âYou're not betraying our friendship or Gryffindor or whatever by talking to Riddle.â His lip twitched slightly. âNo matter what Ron might tell you.â
âOh God,â you groaned as you reached the foyer and emerged from the dungeon staircase. âDoes everyone know?â
âNo,â Harry said quickly and gave you a reassuring smile. âWe're just all worried. He's bad news. You know that. And, especially given your parents, heâs also dangerous.â Ah, yes. Your parents. But the news of your muggle heritage hadn't seemed to deter Mattheo, nor had he showed any aggression towards you. But, you thought to yourself determinedly as you walked through the doors over to the bustling Gryffindor table, if these meetings were to continue, you'd have to bring it up eventually, test his reaction.
âHey,â Harry stopped you before you could reach the others and you turned to him. âI'm sorry if we're being too pushy with this,â he said seriously, âbut you really should stay away from him. Come on.â With a little smile, he opened his arms and you hugged him tightly, wondering what he would say if he knew that you were already on first name basis with Mattheo.
Mattheo's hand tightened around his goblet as he watched you over at the Gryffindor table, your arms wrapped around Potter in a tight hug. His jaw ticked involuntarily, the sharp annoyance flaring up before he even had the chance to smother it. He told himself it was ridiculous, you and him weren't exactly anything, just a handful of late night talks that shouldn't have happened in the first place. But something about seeing you with him, with fucking Potter of all people, seeing you smile at him, made his stomach twist in ways he didn't want to think about. Potters hand rested comfortably on your back, and Mattheo's scowl deepened, his gaze darting away as if that would somehow help.
He attempted to focus on the conversation at his own table, nodding absently as Blaise said something that earned a round of chuckles from his friends, but the sound barely reached him. His mind was stubborn, circling back to the sight of you with Potter. He didn't have the right to be annoyed- he knew that- but the irritation was there all the same, coiling in his chest like a restless serpent. A part of him wanted to march over there, grab Potter and smash his face into the fucking wall for touching what was his- but you weren't. You weren't his, and your reaction if he attacked Potter right on front of you was enough for him to bury the idea. Instead, he forced forced his gaze back to his plate, his appetite gone, and told himself he didnât care. But deep down, the jealousy burned, leaving a bitter taste that even the sweetest wine couldnât wash away. Only you could, but you were unreachable. In more ways than one.

The Last Mask (12)
Hwang In-ho/Oh Young-il/Player 001 x Reader
Chapter 12 - Lights Out
Story Masterlist
NEXT : Chapter 13
PREV : Chapter 11
A tense silence lingered in the dormitory, each second dragging as if time itself had slowed. The weight of the announcement loomed over everyone. None of you could decipher its meaning, except for two. Gi-hun stood rigidly, his face etched with apprehension, while Young-il exuded an unsettling calmness.
The sharp creak of opening doors shattered the silence. On either side of the main double doors, smaller ones slid open, revealing triangle guards escorting a group of male players. A wave of confusion rippled through you as the scene unfolded. The door on the right was supposed to lead to the womenâs restroom. Why were men emerging from it? And why were they being led by triangle guards? Restroom visits during free time had never been an issue before.
Your confusion deepened as you took in the state of the players. Their faces showed clear signs of weariness, their uniforms were disheveled, and some bore visible injuries. A few had streaks of blood smeared across their clothes and faces.
You tried to piece together the situation but before you could make sense of it, a player coming from the door in the O zone charged forward, his voice cutting through the murmurs. âTeam O, everyone!â
It was Thanosâ friend, player 124. Blood streaked his face and hands, his movements frantic. âWe⊠When we were in the bathroom, those fucking X bastards tried to kill all of us! They killed some of us, including my friend-â
His words ignited a spark that lit the room. Many players, including Young-il beside you, rose to their feet, the tension pulling them like magnets toward the unfolding drama. You remained seated, too stunned to move, your mind racing to process his claims.
âBullshit,â another voice rang out. It was player 047, one of the X players.
At this point, all players who had gone to the bathroom had emerged from the doors on both sides, their steps sluggish, their faces marked with fatigue and wariness. Blood and bruises hinted at a violent encounter. Player 047 pointed an accusing finger at player 124. âYouâre the ones who started it.â
The dormitory shifted as X and O players descended the staircases, aligning themselves with their respective allies, and the center became filled rapidly as the two groups faced off. The air was thick with crackling tension. The red and blue lines were the only ones separating potential chaos from an all-out eruption.
Player 047âs voice broke through again, this time addressing the X players around him. âThey threatened one of the people on our side! They attacked us to win the second vote!â
âThatâs right!â another X player, his face streaked with blood, shouted in agreement.
âHey, hey,â countered a bald O player. Blood stained his shirt, adding to the heated atmosphere. âYou killed one of us first. You were trying to win the vote by killing us!â
âFuck you. You killed some of us too,â an X player (145) snapped back. His voice was raw with rage. âDid you think we would just let you kill the rest of us?!â
The crowdâs energy escalated, players inching closer to the brink of another verbal brawl. The shouting grew louder, overlapping into a chaotic storm of voices.
Then player 100âs booming voice silenced them all. âSo⊠which side lost more people?!â
Your breath caught. You stared at him in disbelief. Thatâs what he cares about? Not the fact that some people among us had crossed the boundary and killed others?
You turned your gaze to the triangle guards stationed by the doors. Their stony silence was unsettling. Why didnât they intervene? Was this all part of the game? Did they truly not care about players slaughtering each other?
Your eyes shifted to the massive piggy bank suspended near the ceiling. Its ominous presence loomed over the room, a constant reminder of the stakes. In that moment, it all clicked. The guards didnât intervene because they didnât need to. Player eliminations, whether by games or murder, were part of the system. Each death fueled the prize money. It was a macabre incentive for chaos.
Horror crept over you as you looked back at the crowd. Soon enough, all players would understand this and take advantage of it. The greed in some playersâ eyes was bright and wild at this point. This wasnât just a game anymore; it was an opportunity for those willing to kill.
Player 100âs voice snapped you out of your grim thoughts. âEveryone! Letâs count the numbers! Come on down!â
Player 047 moved toward your groupâs corner, raising his arms to rally the X voters. âEveryone! Gather around!â
Dae-ho followed suit, his voice urgent as he encouraged others to gather. âWe need everyone down here! Come on!â
The next thing you knew, every X player had gathered in your groupâs corner, sitting on the staircases in a reverse pyramid formation. The only one standing among you was player 047, who stood on the floor, facing everyone and counting each person carefully.
You sat next to Young-il, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with the anticipation in the air. On your other side sat Gi-hun, followed by Jung-bae and Dae-ho. Behind your row were Se-mi, Jun-hee, Hyun-ju, Gyeong-seok, the mother, and Yong-sik. All eyes were fixed on player 047 as he completed his count.
Once finished, he spoke in a hushed tone, âTwo people died on our side.â
âTwo out of five,â a female player behind Gyeong-seok noted quietly. âThat means they lost three people.â
Se-mi, seated directly behind you, added, âThen we have a better shot at winning the vote tomorrow.â
Jung-bae leaned in excitedly, his whisper carrying to everyone nearby. âHey, itâs 48 against 47. As long as we donât change our minds, weâll win by one vote!â
His words sparked a ripple of hope among the X players. Whispered cheers and quiet smiles spread through the group, their restraint driven by the need to avoid attracting attention from the O players.
âWeâll win.â
âWe can get out of here tomorrow.â
The whispered sentiments filled the air with a fragile optimism. You couldnât help but smile, feeling a flicker of relief. Despite the losses during the bathroom brawl, the prospect of finally leaving this place without more deaths felt within reach.
You glanced at Young-il, hoping to share in the collective hope, but his expression caught you off guard. He remained still. There was no hint of relief or excitement. Instead, he exuded an unsettling calmness. His gaze seemed distant as though his thoughts were already a step ahead of everyone else.
The familiar chime of the school bell echoed through the dormitory, cutting through the murmurs and drawing everyoneâs attention. The announcerâs voice followed: âAttention, please. Lights out in 30 minutes. All players, please return to your beds and prepare for bedtime.â
Player 047 stood up and turned to face the gathered X players. His voice was low, meant only for those in your group. âListen. You cannot change your minds. We have to win the second vote and get out of here tomorrow. Alright?â
A wave of quiet agreement rippled through the group. Nods and murmurs of affirmation filled the space.
Then, remembering the events that had sparked the earlier fight in the menâs bathroom, you leaned forward slightly and spoke in a hushed tone, âIf you get bullied or forced to vote otherwise, tell us.â
This time, the nods were more deliberate, accompanied by whispers of support:
âThatâs right. Donât go anywhere alone tonight.â
âYes, for one night. We can do this.â
As the groupâs focus sharpened, your gaze drifted across the crowd. You spotted Yong-sik gently patting his motherâs back as tears brimmed in her eyes. Her expression was a mix of disbelief and hope, as if she couldn't believe the nightmare would finally end soon. Nearby, Hyun-ju was smiling softly at Jun-hee. Her hand rested lightly on Jun-heeâs knee, a quiet gesture of comfort and shared relief. Jun-hee returned the smile, her eyes shining with gratitude.
The sight warmed you. It was rare to see such unity, such shared understanding, especially in a place like this. Despite everything, the X players had formed a bond that felt genuine.
Slowly, the X players began to disperse, their movements calm and quiet. The hope in their eyes, the quiet smiles exchanged between them⊠it all felt like a fragile promise of better days. You stood, following your groupmates as they made their way back to your spot beneath the stairs.
You and your group sat in the enclosed space beneath the stairs. At first, it was just you, Gi-hun, Jung-bae, Dae-ho, Young-il, and Jun-hee. Soon, Hyun-ju, Gyeong-seok, Yong-sik, and his mother joined, followed by players 047 and 145. Everyone was welcomed openly.
Forming a circle on the floor, you found yourself seated between Jun-hee and the mother, purposefully creating space between you and Young-il. It wasnât that you didnât want to sit near him; you simply wanted to spend more time with Jun-hee. After all, you had been spending a lot of time with Young-il recently and you began to miss your little sister figure in this grim place. As you delicately combed her hair with your fingers, the soothing action seemed to bring a bit of peace to the moment.
Dae-ho stood suddenly, sneaking a glance toward the O players gathered across the dormitory. He crouched beside Gi-hun and spoke lowly, âThose bastards are acting suspicious. It looks like theyâre up to something.â
Withdrawing your hand from Jun-heeâs hair, you looked at Dae-ho.
âSuspicious like how?â you asked, your tone innocent but laced with concern.
Dae-hoâs face was a mixture of worry and solemnity as he replied, âThey keep whispering among themselves and glancing at our zone. Theyâre planning something.â
You followed his gaze. The O players were huddled together, their heads bent close, their voices low. Every so often, their eyes darted toward your corner. It was unsettling.
Jung-bae glanced over and scoffed. âWhatever those idiots do, once we win the vote tomorrow, itâll all be over.â
Dae-ho, however, wasnât convinced. His concern was evident as he asked, âYou think weâll be okay? They say things were really crazy in the bathroom earlier.â
Silence fell over the group, the weight of his words pressing down on everyone. You felt your stomach tighten. The memory of the bathroom fight, the deaths, and the lack of consequences made you feel cold. The guards' inaction during such violence sent a chilling message. If players killed each other, it was acceptable. The prize money would still grow.
âOnce the lights go out,â Gi-hunâs voice broke the silence. He stared at the floor, his expression grim. âPeople on the other side will attack us.â
Your breath hitched. The certainty in his tone left no room for doubt. You felt your blood running cold as you fixed your wide-eyed stare at him.
Yong-sikâs wide eyes were glued on Gi-hun as he asked, âReally?â
Gi-hun nodded gravely. âBecause if they kill us, theyâll be able to win the vote and increase the prize.â
Jun-heeâs already pale complexion turned ashen and she instinctively caressed her belly. Yong-sikâs mother froze in fear, her gaze locked on Gi-hun as though seeking reassurance where none existed. Dae-ho and Jung-bae exchanged uneasy glances, both speechless. Meanwhile, Young-il sat unmoved, his expression emotionless and unreadable.
Yong-sikâs voice cracked slightly as he asked, âSo what do we do?â
âLetâs attack them first,â Young-il said, his tone as measured as his words. The statement caused Gi-hun to look at him sharply. His gaze was immediately steely and serious. Young-il elaborated, âTheyâre probably thinking weâll just wait for the second vote. We can use that to our advantage. Weâll attack them first once the lights go out.â
You couldnât take your eyes off him, wondering if he had encountered this exact scenario in his previous game. The certainty in his tone was unsettling as if he was speaking from experience.
Player 047 broke the silence. âThatâs right. Itâd be better to attack them first. We have more women and elderly on our side. If we get attacked, weâll be at a disadvantage. Attacking them first would give us a better chance of winning.â
Player 145 nodded in agreement. âI agree.â
Before the idea could settle, Gi-hunâs voice cut through decisively. âWe canât do that.â
His immediate response stunned the group into silence.
Young-il stared pointedly at him in quiet surprise. âBut we have to get out of here. You said it yourself. Staying calm wonât get us anywhere now.â
Gi-hun didnât flinch, his determination unwavering. âThat doesnât mean we should kill each other. Thatâs exactly what they want us to do.â
You blinked. Jung-bae echoed the question that had formed in your mind as well. âThey?â
Gi-hunâs eyes shifted to meet yours briefly before scanning the group. He spoke with quiet resolve. âThe ones who created this game. The ones who watch us play. If weâre going to fight someone, it should be them.â
Dae-ho frowned. âWhere are they?â
Gi-hunâs gaze lifted upward, and instinctively, you and the others followed it. The vast space above felt ominous and unreachable, a reminder of the system you were all trapped within. Young-ilâs eyes flickered upward briefly before returning to Gi-hun, his expression unreadable but intense.
âOn the upper levels are the rooms they control the games from,â Gi-hun explained, his voice heavy with conviction. âThe man in the black mask is their leader. Once we capture him, weâll be able to win.â
Your eyebrows raised at the audacity of his plan, and you couldnât help but ask, âAre you saying you plan to overthrow this whole management?â
Gi-hunâs determined yet grave eyes locked onto yours. He nodded firmly. âYes.â
The room fell into a thick silence. You could feel the weight of his words pressing down on everyone, the enormity of what he was suggesting settling in. Some of the group exchanged glances. Gi-hun was a previous winner, and that lent him credibility, but this plan⊠it sounded almost impossible.
You stole a glance at Young-il, hoping to glean some insight from his reaction. His face was an enigma. It was void of emotion. Unreadable. Yet his unblinking stare at Gi-hun carried a weight of its own. It was as if he was dissecting every word, every intention behind the plan. His eyes seemed darker, his demeanor more solemn than usual like something deep and dark brewed beneath the surface.
You frowned, your curiosity piqued. What was he thinking? Why did he seem so skeptical, so⊠calculating? You couldnât shake the feeling that Young-ilâs silence carried as much weight as Gi-hunâs bold proclamation.
Finally, Young-il broke the silence, his voice measured. âHow are you going to fight them? They have guns.â
Gi-hunâs response was confident. âWeâll fight them with guns too.â
âBut we donât have any,â Jung-bae pointed out, his tone tinged with innocence and disbelief.
Gi-hun turned to him, unfazed. âWeâll take their guns.â
Jung-bae stared at him, his disbelief morphing into something closer to exasperation. Gyeong-seok hesitated before asking, âFrom those masked men?â
Gi-hun gave a single, firm nod. Jung-bae sighed deeply, leaning his head back as though the mere thought of the plan was already weighing on him.
âThatâs too dangerous,â Young-il interjected. His voice was steady but carried a note of caution. âEven if we manage to take a few guns, weâll still be outnumbered.â
âWhat then?â Gi-hun fired back. âAre you going to kill each other all night and hope you survive?â
Young-il froze, his mouth slightly open, although his eyes seemed darkly contemplative. Gi-hun pressed further. âIs that what you want, Young-il?â
Young-il didnât counter. He stayed silent, his gaze fixed on Gi-hun. His expression hardened into something unreadable, but there was a weight in his silence â a seriousness that darkened his demeanor.
âDo weâŠâ Hyun-ju spoke up, â...stand a chance?â
Gi-hunâs gaze shifted to her, his determination unwavering. âWe do if we catch them off guard. Out of everyone, theyâre the ones who would least expect us to attack first. This is our last chance to end these games once and for all.â
You faintly noticed Young-il clenching his jaw, his expression hardening before he asked Gi-hun gravely, âHow are you going to take their guns?â
Gi-hun scowled, his gaze sharp with concentration. âOnce the fight begins tonight, weâll have our chance.â
The group fell silent, waiting for him to elaborate. âWhen the lights go out, get under the bottom beds quietly. You must not get caught by those planning to attack us. We have to hide until the fight ends.â
You frowned deeply, your displeasure evident. His plan didnât sit well with you. Gi-hun pressed on, âDonât get caught up in the fight.â
âWhat?â you interjected, surprise and frustration lacing your voice.
Jung-bae echoed your concern. âBut that would put people on our side at quite a disadvantage. Without us in the fight, theyâll be outnumbered.â
âI know,â Gi-hun said, glancing at both you and Jung-bae. He then shifted his focus to the rest of the group. âBut if we fight with them and some of us end up dead or injured, it will ruin our entire plan. We canât beat those bastards with a lower headcount.â
Young-ilâs gaze darkened, his tone carrying a heavy disbelief. âAre you suggesting that... we make a small sacrifice for the greater good?â
Gi-hunâs eyes locked with Young-ilâs, recognizing the weight of his words. Still, he nodded very, very faintly. His voice held determination as he said, âIf we miss this opportunity, the sacrifice will be even greater. Even if it takes a sacrifice, we must put an end to this game now.â
Young-ilâs gaze dropped to the floor. You caught the faintest twitch of his lips as if he found the situation grimly ironic. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying nothing more.
Gi-hun continued, âOnce the lights come on, the soldiers will come to settle the situation. Theyâll try to break up the fight first. They wonât pay attention to the dead. They will scan our trackers to identify us. Thatâll be our window.â
Your frustration bubbled over, and you finally voiced your thoughts. âAre you really going to leave our allies like that?â
All eyes turned to you, but your glare remained locked on Gi-hun. You added, âYouâre telling me youâd hide under the bed and let the O players attack everyone in this zone? All for your plan?â
Gi-hunâs expression faltered slightly as if shocked that you had spoken up. His face then stiffened into resolve as he answered, âThis is the only chance we have. Once this game is stopped, this game will no longer use us as pawns.â
âIf I werenât close to your group or involved with any of you, would I even know about this attack? Would you warn me?â you pressed, your voice rising slightly. âWould I be left to fend for myself against an ambush while you and the others hide?â
Gi-hunâs jaw tightened. âItâs not about leaving anyone behind. Itâs about ending this game once and for all.â
âBut that doesnât mean we canât help our people now,â you shot back. âWe have to fight back, not just accept them as inevitable.â
Gi-hunâs brows furrowed, his voice rising. âDo you think itâs better to retaliate and play into their hands? Attacking back is exactly what they want. They want us to kill each other. To entertain them.â
âWeâre not going to kill them,â you insisted. âWe will defend ourselves. We can alert our people about the attack. Get them prepared. Get them to a safe spot where capable men can protect them. If needed, we can subdue the O players without bloodshed.â
Gi-hunâs confidence wavered for a moment under the weight of your words. Yet he persisted. âIf we join the fight and lose even a few, it will ruin our chances of overthrowing this game. We must preserve all the best men we have right now.â
âThen we have to join the fight,â you answered in a steady, measured tone. âDefend without bloodshed. Defend as a team. If we join the fight, more capable men will survive the ambush. They will join you willingly.â
Gi-hun stared at you, his gaze faltering, and this time, he had no counter. His lips parted as though he wanted to say more, but the words never came. The others merely watched the two of you, their unease palpable. Dae-ho and Jung-bae exchanged nervous glances as though they hadnât expected there would come a time when you and Gi-hun had disagreements.
Slowly, you rose to a crouching position. All eyes followed you, yet your focus remained on Gi-hun. Your voice was firm as you said, âGo ahead with your plan. Iâm not stopping you. If you donât want to join the fight, thatâs fine. But the others deserve to know about the attack.â
Without waiting for a response, you stood up, turned on your heel and began walking toward the other X players, ready to share what you knew. You'd make sure no one was left defenseless.
You approached a pair of female X players sitting on a lower bunk bed. Their conversation halted as you leaned in, lowering your voice to a whisper. âHey, sorry to interrupt, but I need to warn you. Thereâs going to be an attack when the lights go out.â
Their eyes widened. One of them glanced nervously around the dormitory before whispering back, âAn attack? Are you sure?â
âYes,â you said firmly. âThe O players are planning to ambush us. You need to be ready.â
âWhat should we do?â the other asked, her voice barely audible.
You glanced around. âFirst, donât throw away the fork that came with your gimbap. Keep it. You can use it to defend yourself if someone tries to attack you. Then, choose the beds near the wall or under the stairs. Hide under the bed once the ambush starts.â
Their expressions shifted, the initial confusion replaced by understanding.
âDo you have your water bottles?â you asked.
They nodded and quickly pulled the bottles from their bedding, each one half full.
âGood,â you said. âKeep those too. If anyone tries to harm you, aim for their head.â
They both nodded, fear flickering in their eyes.
âThank you,â one of them whispered, her voice trembling but sincere.
You nodded back, giving them a reassuring look before moving on. As you navigated through the dim dormitory, scanning for more X players to warn, a hand landed on your shoulder. You jumped slightly, spinning around to see Young-il standing behind you. His gaze was calm but serious.
âHow many people have you warned?â he asked in a low voice.
âA couple,â you said, catching your breath.
Before Young-il could respond, a group of familiar faces approached. Gyeong-seok, Hyun-ju, player 047, and player 145 joined you. They stood together next to Young-il, eyes fixed on you.
âWhat else can we do?â Gyeong-seok asked calmly.
You quickly laid out the plan. âWarn every X players if possible. Tell them that we only defend and subdue. Tell them to keep their forks and water bottles. Get the women and elderly to move to beds under the stairs or near the walls. Before the Os attack us, inform them to hide under the beds for extra protection.â
âAnd letâs assign a few men to guard those areas,â Young-il added, glancing at the group. âWe need to make sure someone is watching over them during the attack.â
âGot it. I will warn everyone on the left side of the zone,â Hyun-ju said.
Player 047 gestured to the opposite side. âWeâll handle the right. Let's warn them discreetly so the Os wouldn't suspect anything.â
Gyeong-seok, Hyun-ju, player 047 and 145 dispersed to begin warning the players. Young-ilâs hand lingered briefly on your shoulder. âYouâve done enough here. Now go and find two beds next to each other for us both.â
You could tell immediately that Young-il planned to watch over you and guide you when the ambush began. That was why he insisted on finding two beds close together â one for him, one for you.
âHowâs Gi-hun?â you asked.
Young-il hesitated, his gaze drifting briefly. âHe was caught off guard. After you left, I told him to rethink his plan. Heâs angry at the game maker and grieving for his friends from the last game, but I reminded him to consider the people here too.â
You nodded, letting his words sink in as you turned your attention to the rest of the dormitory. The quiet sound of shuffling feet caught your ear, and you noticed that many X players were busy preparing. Some were rummaging through the trash for discarded forks, others were marking their beds for strategic positioning, and a few had started spreading the word to others.
Your gaze shifted to Se-mi, who sat upright on her bed. She watched the quiet movements and whispered conversations around her but didnât join in. Her demeanor suggested she was used to being on her own, even though she didnât avoid social interactions entirely.
You gestured for Young-il to wait, then made your way to her. Se-mi noticed you approaching and looked up with a small, tired smile.
âYou shouldnât be alone right now,â you said, stopping by her bed.
âI prefer it this way,â she replied, her tone calm. âAt least I donât have to constantly watch my back or worry about getting betrayed.â
You stayed silent, sensing there was a deeper story behind her words. Maybe she had been left to fend for herself during the Mingle game.
âThen you need to be prepared,â you said after a pause. âKeep your fork and water bottle close. The Os are planning to attack us tonight. We just need to defend ourselves until the guards intervene.â
Se-miâs eyes shifted toward the O zone, lingering for a moment as if she was trying to look for a certain player there. Then, her gaze dropped to her bed, and she gave a small nod. âSure. Thanks for the heads-up.â
âIf you need help during lights out,â you said, offering a small, reassuring smile, âfind me or anyone in my group. Weâll help you.â
She looked at you, staring for a little while as if she was trying to find any trace of fakeness in your expression. Then, she brought her gaze downward. âThanks.â
You nodded, then turned and walked away, giving her the space she seemed to value. As you moved through the dormitory, you scanned the faces around you, searching for others who might need a warning or reassurance.
The air in the room felt heavier now. More X players were talking in hushed tones, their movements deliberate as they adjusted their beds or collected anything they could use as a weapon. Some looked confident, while others were clearly masking their fear. You couldnât blame them. The uncertainty of what was coming was enough to unsettle anyone.
You spotted Hyun-ju near the wall, speaking with a small group of women. She caught your eye and gave a subtle nod, signaling that she was making progress on her side. Not far from her, Gyeong-seok was quietly showing a few older players the safer spots under the stairs. Everyone was falling into place, the plan taking shape with a kind of quiet urgency.
As you continued to move, Young-ilâs presence beside you was both reassuring and grounding. He didnât say much, but his watchful gaze and calm demeanor made it clear he was assessing everything, ready to step in if needed.
âDo you think theyâll really try something?â you asked him quietly.
âItâs likely,â he replied. âThere are no consequences, and the prize money grows with every elimination. For some people, thatâs enough motivation.â
You nodded, his words confirming what you already suspected. The Os werenât just competitors now. They were potential threats.
***
âLights out in ten seconds.â
At this point, everyone was in bed. Your bed was right next to Young-il. You were lying on the bed on your back with the blanket up to your chest. With one glance to the side, you noticed Young-il staring upward calmly, lying on his back.
âTen, nine, eight, seven, six, five, mfour , three, two, one.â
The lights went out, darkening the whole dormitory except for the O and X lights on the floor. The piggy bank light was turned off for some reason this time.
Nevertheless, you quickly moved out of the bed as silent as possible. You noticed more figures getting out of their bed too in the X zone. You noticed they were all women and the elderly. They were moving to hide under the bed or to a safe spot.
You quietly moved to hide under your bed. Young-il stayed in his bed, feigning sleep with his eyes closed. You looked towards the center and there they were.
The O players were quietly creeping from their beds and onto the floor. They crept slowly and silently in the center towards the X zone. The blue light of the O sign below them shone light on their forms. They were carrying forks. They were led by player 124, the late Thanosâ close friend. You faintly detected player 100 behind all of them, choosing to stay safe and let his pawns do all the dirty work.
Once a few of them crossed the red lines belonged to X zone in the center, they sprinted. They no longer cared about being heard. They dashed towards the X playersâ beds and climbed up.
You were shocked to see someone rushing towards Young-ilâs bed and aimed his fork on him, but Young-il was fast. He simply wrapped his arm around with his blanket and then wrapped it around his neck. Young-il tugged the blanket â which was coiled around the assailantâs neck â until the O player was tied to the railing of his bed, subdued.
Screams began to erupt, startling you with how horrifying it sounded like. It was like hearing humans scream in desperation, greed, helplessness in one place. It was bone-chilling.
The lights began to flicker erratically, casting the dormitory into an alternating rhythm of stark brightness and shadowy darkness. Each flash illuminated the chaos: figures clashing, beds overturning, and forks gleaming mid-strike. It felt intentional, as though the game maker had programmed this light to amplify the terror and confusion.
Thatâs when a body fell on the floor right beside your hiding spot under the bed. You glanced over to see it was O player. He was groaning in surprise and you saw a broken shard of glass embedded in his arm. No doubt he was caught off guard by X playersâ readiness to defend themselves.
Your heart raced as you watched the chaos unfold. The O players had underestimated the X zoneâs readiness, and now their ambush was turning into a messy, desperate fight. From your hiding spot, you could only hope the preparations had been enough.
You scanned the room from under the bed, your eyes darting across the chaos. On the far side, two O male players were closing in on three X women, cornering them against the wall. Fear flashed across the womenâs faces as they huddled together, their backs pressed against the cold surface.
Without hesitation, you slid out from under the bed, staying low to avoid drawing attention. As you moved, fights raged on both sides, the sounds of shouts and grunts filling the air. Your heart pounded as you dodged flailing arms and feet, pushing through the chaos toward the women.
Your mind raced. You werenât here to kill anyone, just to defend yourself and your allies. But you had no combat experience, and your hands trembled as you reached into your pocket and gripped the fork. It was the only weapon you had.
When you reached the two O players, they were focused entirely on the women, their backs turned to you. Steeling yourself, you lunged forward and drove the fork into one manâs forearm, aiming for a non-lethal spot. The metal prongs sank in, and he let out a sharp scream, jerking away from the pain.
You swiftly pulled the fork back and the man spun around, clutching his bleeding arm. His eyes met yours, wide with a mix of fury and shock. Before he could react further, you stepped in front of the women, positioning yourself as a barrier between them and the attackers.
The injured man sneered, âYouâre gonna pay for that.â
You didnât respond. Your teeth clenched as you readied yourself for their attack. Both men advanced, their forks glinting ominously under the flickering lights. Every instinct told you to stay focused and move.
One of them lunged, his fork aimed straight for you. You dodged at the last second, feeling the rush of air as the weapon missed you by inches. Without thinking, you retaliated, driving your fork into his shoulder. He screamed in pain, stumbling back. But before you could catch your breath, his friend rushed at you.
This time, you evaded the fork, but his kick landed squarely against your side, sending you flying backward. You yelped, colliding into the three women huddled against the wall. Their hands came up instinctively to soften your fall, steadying you before you hit the ground.
You pushed yourself upright, ignoring the sharp ache in your ribs. The men were closing in again, their faces twisted with anger. But then, out of the corner of your eye, you saw a blur of movement.
Young-il emerged from the chaos. His face was a mask of silent, restrained fury. Without hesitation, he went for the man with the injured shoulder. Grabbing the manâs wrist, he twisted it sharply, forcing the fork to clatter to the floor. In one smooth motion, he swept the manâs legs out from under him and drove his knee into the manâs face, breaking his nose. The man instantly fell unconscious.
The second man tried to attack while Young-il was occupied, raising his fork and lunging. But Young-il was ready. He caught the manâs wrist mid-strike, holding it firmly in an iron grip. With a swift, controlled motion, Young-il twisted the wrist, forcing the fork out of the manâs hand and onto the floor. Before the man could react, Young-il landed a punch on the manâs stomach, knocking the wind out of him. As the man doubled over, Young-il swept his feet out from under him, sending him crashing to the ground.
Both men were now subdued, groaning and immobilized. Young-il stood over them, his breathing steady and controlled.
âGo! Hide somewhere safe,â you told the women, urgency lacing your voice.
âOver here!â a voice called out. You turned to see Hyun-ju and Gyeong-seok near the stairs. They were guarding a group of women and elderly in a safe spot under the stairs.
âWe have a safe spot right here!â Hyun-ju shouted, waving the women over.
The three women nodded and hurried toward the stairs. You watched them go, relief mingling with the adrenaline still pumping through your veins. Turning back to Young-il, you saw him straighten up and scanned you up and down.
âYou okay?â Young-il asked, stepping closer under the flickering lights.
You pressed a hand to your side where the man had kicked you. Pain flared when you applied pressure, but you managed to reply, âThis is nothing.â
Young-il opened his mouth to say something, but his attention snapped to the side. Following his gaze, you saw six O players approaching, their steps slow but deliberate. The murderous intent in their eyes was unmistakably fixed on him.
Without a word, Young-il grabbed your arm and pulled you behind him. You let him, your hands instinctively landing on his lower back, just near his waist, as you braced for the inevitable.
The two of you took a step back as the men advanced, their weapons glinting in the erratic light. Some held forks; others clutched broken bottles with jagged edges. A knot of worry tightened in your chest. While you had confidence in Young-ilâs abilities, he was still outnumbered six to one. And he wasnât just fighting for himself. He was shielding you too.
Your retreat ended when your back hit the corner of the dormitory, the walls pressing against your shoulders. The O players formed a loose semi-circle, blocking any chance of escape. Your heart pounded as you realized there was no way out.
Young-il spread his legs into a firm stance, raising his hands slightly, ready to defend. His posture pinned you securely behind him, effectively making himself the sole barrier between you and the attackers.
âYoung-il, please be careful,â you whispered, your voice trembling as your hands clenched into fists against his back.
The first man lunged with a fork, aiming for Young-ilâs side. Young-il grabbed the manâs wrist mid-strike smoothly. With a sharp twist, he forced the fork from the attackerâs hand and used the momentum to slam his face against the wall. The man fell unconscious right away.
Another assailant immediately charged, swinging a broken bottle in a wide arc. Young-il ducked under the swing and drove his palm upward into the manâs chin. The attacker stumbled back, dazed, and Young-il followed up with a swift kick to his knee, sending him crashing to the ground.
Two men attacked simultaneously, one aiming high with a fork and the other swinging low with a bottle. Young-il stepped back just enough to avoid both strikes, then surged forward. He grabbed the fork-wielding man by the collar, pulling him into the path of the bottle. The jagged glass scraped across the first attackerâs arm, making him scream in pain. Before the second man could react, Young-il struck him in the stomach with a powerful knee, forcing the air out of his lungs. Both men crumpled to the ground.
The remaining two attackers hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances. One of them growled, gripping his weapon tighter, and rushed forward. Young-il caught his wrist and twisted it, the sound of the bottle shattering as it fell to the floor. In the same motion, Young-il elbowed the man in the face, his head snapping back as he collapsed in a heap.
The final man hesitated, his eyes darting between Young-il and his fallen comrades. With a yell, he swung wildly with his fork.
Before the man could get close to Young-il, a sharp crash echoed through the chaos as a glass bottle shattered over his head. He crumpled to the floor instantly. Both you and Young-il turned toward the kind perpetrator.
Gi-hun stood there, breathing heavily, gripping the broken neck of the bottle by its cap. His gaze shifted between you two, his expression calm yet conflicted. A small smile crept onto your face, relieved to see him join the fray.
Behind Gi-hun, Jung-bae and Dae-ho rushed forward. Dae-ho flinched at every sound of fists and bodies hitting the floor, his arms extended forward as if staying connected to Jung-bae was his lifeline.
âYouâre late,â Young-il said solemnly, sparing Gi-hun a brief glance.
Gi-hun ignored the remark and instead turned to Jung-bae and Dae-ho. âRemember. We defend and subdue only.â
With a nod, Gi-hun led the pair deeper into the chaos, heading toward other X players in need of help. As Young-il stepped aside, giving you room to breathe, your eyes darted across the room to assess the situation.
Toward the left, you spotted Hyun-ju. She sidestepped an O playerâs swing with a fork and grabbed his wrist, twisting it sharply until he dropped the weapon with a yelp. She followed with a clean strike to his cheek, sending him sprawling. Gyeong-seok, a few steps behind her, tackled another O player attempting to blindside her. He wrestled the man to the ground, holding him down until Hyun-ju swiftly secured the situation with a sharp, calculated elbow strike that rendered the attacker motionless.
Further back, you caught sight of Jun-hee, the mother, and Yong-sik huddled together under a bed. Their wide eyes darted between the legs of fighters clashing nearby. The mother whispered something to Jun-hee, who nodded, clutching her belly protectively. Yong-sikâs trembling hands clutched the bedframe tightly, his face pale with fear.
Nearby, player 047 and player 145 were fending off two O players who had unfairly ganged up on a single X player. Player 047 grabbed the arm of one attacker mid-swing and twisted it behind his back, forcing him to the ground. Meanwhile, player 145 used a discarded piece of bed railing to parry the other O playerâs attacks, buying enough time for the overwhelmed X player to recover and join the fight.
Your eyes landed on Se-mi at the far end of the room. She was weaving and dodging, narrowly avoiding the relentless swings of a certain O player wielding a fork. It was player 124, the late Thanosâ friend. His face was deranged, grinning maniacally, and each swing came with more force, driving Se-mi back until her shoulders hit the wall. Trapped, she barely had room to maneuver.
You didnât hesitate. You dashed toward her, the sound of your footsteps swallowed by the noise of the fight. Behind you, you heard the familiar, steady steps of Young-il following closely.
As you reached Se-mi, player 124 swung the fork again, this time aiming for her face. You lunged forward, pushing his arm away so hard, forcing him to drop the fork. He growled and turned on you, his fist coming at you in a wide arc.
Before it could connect, Young-il was there. He grabbed player 124âs arm mid-swing and, with a swift motion, locked it behind his back. Player 124 struggled while shouting curses at him, but Young-il kicked his legs out from under him, sending him face-first to the ground. Keeping his grip firm, Young-il pressed a knee into the manâs back, effectively pinning him.
âFuck you, old man!â yelled player 124. âLet me go, bastard!â
Se-mi looked at you, her breathing ragged but steady.
âThanks,â she managed, brushing a loose strand of hair out of her face.
âGo,â you told her urgently, gesturing toward the stairs. âHyun-ju and Gyeong-seok have a safe spot under the stairs. Get there now.â
She nodded and ran toward safety, glancing back only once before running past the ensuing brawls around her. You turned to Young-il, who was still holding player 124 down.
âRelease me! How long are you going to pin me down, huh?!â shouted the deranged player 124.
Young-il released his hold and shifted his knee off player 124âs back, letting him get to his feet. But as soon as the man stood, he lashed out, swinging a wild punch at Young-il.
You barely had time to react, but Young-il moved faster. He ducked smoothly under the attack. Before player 124 could recover, Young-il delivered a sharp, precise strike to his jaw.
The force of the blow sent player 124 sprawling to the floor. He hit the ground hard and lay there, completely still. Unconscious.
Young-il straightened, his breathing steady as he glanced at you.
The lights suddenly steadied, illuminating the chaos around you. A loud, blaring sound filled the air as the double doors at the front of the dormitory swung open. Triangle guards rushed in, their guns raised and scanning the room. Behind them, a square-masked guard entered, holding a pistol. The sight of their arrival made everyone scatter instantly, breaking apart in all directions.
Remembering Gi-hunâs plan, you and Young-il dropped to the floor, feigning death. You closed your eyes, doing your best to keep your breathing steady. Around you, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed as guards spread out across the dormitory.
âHands up. Get back,â one of the guards barked at a group of players.
âDrop your weapon. Hands up,â another commanded, their tone sharp and commanding.
âCheck the IDs of the dead,â the square guard ordered.
You kept still, listening intently as the footsteps grew closer. A single set of boots approached you and Young-il. Your heart pounded in your chest, but you stayed motionless.
The sound of boots stopped right beside you. You felt a slight tug at your collar as the guard bent down. Something cold pressed against the spot behind your ear. You fought the urge to flinch.
Suddenly, a blur of movement. Young-il sprang forward, grabbing the guardâs weapon with precision and speed. Before you could even sit up, he twisted the gun against the guard and pulled the trigger. The loud crack of the shot echoed in the dormitory, and the guard fell lifeless to the floor.
You opened your eyes to see Young-il standing over the fallen guard, his grip firm on the weapon he had just taken. Around you, the sounds of shouts and gunfire erupted across the room. Commotion rippled through the dormitory, signaling that the rest of your group had launched their surprise attack on the guards.
You ducked low as Young-il moved with precision, firing at the guards with unwavering focus. Gunshots filled the air, each one echoing sharply through the dormitory. Players who had no knowledge of the plan cowered in fear, their expressions frozen in shock. Under one of the beds, Jun-hee, Yong-sik, and his mother stayed hidden, clutching one another tightly.
Your eyes scanned the room and landed on the fallen guard beside you. On his hip holster was a pistol. Without hesitation, you grabbed it and checked the magazine. Seeing it was full, you flipped off the safety, gripping the weapon firmly.
Crouching low, you peeked over the edge of the bed to assess the situation. Young-il, Gi-hun, Jung-bae, Hyun-ju, Gyeong-seok, player 047, and player 145 were engaged in a fierce gunfight with the guards. The guards, clearly caught off guard by the ambush, were struggling to regroup, and most of them were taken down with relative ease.
As you moved to find a better position, a guard suddenly emerged from a hiding spot under the stairs. He raised his weapon, aiming at the groupâs exposed backs. Heart pounding, you dove behind a nearby bed, using it as cover. Taking a deep breath, you steadied your aim and fired.
The first shot missed, but the second and third found their mark, hitting the guard in the stomach and shoulder. He staggered before collapsing to the floor, lifeless. You exhaled sharply as you lowered the pistol.
Glancing back, you noticed Young-ilâs gaze flicking toward you. His expression was unreadable, before he turned his attention back to the guards. He and Jung-bae were positioned behind an overturned bed, using it as a makeshift barricade.
You took a moment to observe the others. Despite the chaos, their movements were controlled and deliberate. Each of them handled their weapons with a level of familiarity that could only come from experience. It struck you then: in South Korea, military service was compulsory for men between the ages of 18 and 35. This wasnât their first time handling firearms.
The gunfire continued, but the guardsâ numbers were dwindling rapidly. Your group moved with purpose, systematically taking them down one by one.
The tide of the battle shifted abruptly when a mechanical announcement echoed through the dormitory: âRetreat. Retreat.â
The remaining guards, realizing their position was untenable, began cautiously stepping backward toward the double doors. They fired sporadically as they retreated, their shots aimed to cover their exit. The double doors started to slide shut, and the guards sprinted through the narrowing gap to escape. However, the square guard misjudged the timing. The doors closed firmly, leaving him stranded inside.
âStop! Hold fire!â Gi-hun shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. He leveled his gun at the square guard cautiously.
Jung-bae jogged toward the guard, his weapon trained steadily on the man. Player 145 followed closely behind, flanking the guard from another angle.
âHands above your head! On your knees!â Jung-bae commanded, his voice sharp and firm.
Satisfied that the situation was under control, you flipped the safety on your pistol and tucked it into your pocket. Scanning the room quickly, you spotted Jun-hee, Yong-sik, and his mother still huddled under a bed. You jogged toward them, weaving through the aftermath of the battle.
âAre you okay?â you asked, crouching down to meet their level. Your voice softened as you looked at them. âIs anyone hurt?â
Jun-heeâs pale face turned toward you. Her wide eyes were filled with residual fear, but she managed to shake her head.
âI⊠Iâm okay,â she said quietly, resting a hand protectively on her belly. âThe babyâs okay too.â
âThank goodness,â you replied with a small, relieved smile. You turned your attention to Yong-sik and his mother, who were clutching each other tightly.
âWeâre fine,â Yong-sikâs mother said firmly, though her voice carried a faint tremble. She looked at you, her eyes sharp despite the situation. âHow about you? Are you alright, miss?â
âI am, thankfully,â you said, smiling.
You heard the shout echo across the dormitory. âYou goddamn bastards!â
Turning your gaze to the far end of the open space, you saw player 047, his gun aimed at five O players. Blood stained their faces and hands, evidence of the chaos theyâd left in their wake. The O players, clearly terrified, raised their hands high in surrender.
Gi-hun sprinted toward the scene, his expression urgent as he grabbed the barrel of player 047âs gun and pushed it downward. âNo!â
âMove!â shouted player 047. âDo you not see this?â
Gi-hun glanced around, his eyes falling on the lifeless bodies of X players who had been unable to defend themselves. You looked too, your heart sinking at the sight of the carnage. The dormitory, once a place of tension and fear, had become a blood-soaked battlefield where greed turned people into monsters.
âThey are not human,â player 047 growled, his voice trembling with rage. âTheyâre like goddamn vermin blinded by money!â
Player 047 raised his gun again, aiming directly at the cowering O players. Gi-hun acted quickly, gripping the weapon firmly and meeting player 047âs glare with steady resolve. His face reflected both understanding and a deep determination as he said, âThis is not what we took these guns for. If we do this, weâll be no different from those masked men.â
As the tense standoff unfolded, you turned and walked toward Young-il. He stood silently nearby, his gun resting against his abdomen. His stillness was striking in contrast to the chaos around him.
Meanwhile, player 047 remained rooted in place, his teeth clenched in frustration. His eyes brimmed with anger and sadness as he glanced at the bodies of his fallen X allies. Slowly, reluctantly, he lowered his gun. His shoulders sagged with defeat, but he yielded to Gi-hunâs reasoning.
Gi-hun patted player 047 on the shoulder. Whether it was a gesture of pride for his restraint or an attempt to comfort him, you couldnât be sure. After a brief pause, Gi-hun turned and walked to the center of the dormitory. His voice rang out, strong and steady.
âEveryone! Donât be scared. Gather round, please!â
You glanced at Young-il. Your eyebrows lifted in surprise at the look on his face. His expression remained blank, but there was something contemplative and unsettling about it. It was as if he viewed Gi-hunâs actions with a sense of disapproval, a distaste that lingered just beneath the surface.

liam mairi x reader where he literally loses it during the torture chamber over seeing her hurt
pairing; liam mairi x fem!reader
warnings; torture lol, graphic depictions of violence and injury, liam is a little unhinged (as much as a golden retriever can be) and also the best bf ever. also xaddy makes an appearance <3
a/n; for argument's sake, liam is alive and well (also for my sake bc he's my baby and i adore him) this is a little different to the plot in the books as liam isn't *technically* there during the torture chamber scene, so this diverts from the original plot. this is gonna get like 4 whole notes but idgaf because liam is taking up my entire mind atm i just want that boy to smother me in love and i can kiss his perfect face<3
Knuckles crack against the already swollen expanse of your jaw and your neck whips sideways awkwardly as blood fills your gasping mouth. Your ears ring, vision beginning to blur and blacken at the edges as Liam roars.
You can't see him for the soldiers crowding your line of vision, but the guttural sound that rips its way from his throat is unlike anything you've ever heard before. It's raw, full of untethered fury that no one would expect from a kind soul like Liam. But, then again, no one's seen the lengths he will go to to keep you safe.
"I'm fine, Li," you murmur, neck cracking as you wrench your head upright to reassure him. The swarm of bodies part somewhat, and they back against the wall; you watch him thrash against the restraints, teeth bared like a predator; it's a stark juxtaposition to his usual - docile - countenance.
âTouch her again and Iâll kill you! Iâll fucking kill all of you!â he bellows, voice permeating the otherwise relatively silent chamber. It cuts through you like glass, and you wince as another blow collides with your cheekbone. You feel it shatter, growling through grit teeth at your attacker.
âYou have all the power here,â he croons. âTell us what we need to know, and Iâll let you go.â
âFuck you,â you seethe. âYou really think Iâll break that easily?â
He cracks his knuckles slowly, one by one echoing through the empty room as he paces, his head tilting curiously as though he's enraptured by your resilience. âNo. But he will.â
Your nostrils flare, eyes darting to where Liamâs still struggling to break himself free. His eyes are dark, cerulean replaced with black onyx as the rage consumes him.
âYou underestimate us,â you say simply; your chin juts out indignantly. âWeâre not telling you shit.â
Your ribs are next to break with a sickening crunch, and when you scream, the sharp yell of your boyfriend takes up all the space left in your brain. It's all you hear, all you can decipher through the thick cotton wadded into your ears, the only thing you can manage past the searing flames that set your body alight with agony. Your lids start to droop, lips parting to croak something indiscernible; and Liam's begging, pleading with you to stay conscious, but even as you gaze up at him through sticky, tear-soaked lashes, the darkness wraps its cruel fingers around your throat and you can't fend it off.
You don't know how many days it's been when your eyes peel open, glued shut with sleep. Every nerve ending in your body ignites, set aflame with pure, unrelenting excruciation. Your chest heaves and the movement triggers another cataclysmic inferno; a sob claws its way from your throat almost involuntarily, your body relying purely on survival instincts.
Xaden's standing over you in an instant, a warm palm cradled against the curve of your jaw to keep you still when you shout and thrash, trying to rid yourself of the unyielding pain that courses through your veins like liquid fire.
"Shh, shh." He's doing his best to placate you, but you're manic, eyes wide and frantic as you attempt to orientate yourself in the room.
"Liam," you croak. "Where's Liam?"
"He's okay. He's fine. I need you to stay calm, okay?" A tear slips past your clogged waterline and runs over Xaden's knuckle, his thumb following its downward path to brush it away.
"I want Liam," you wheeze, a pain that transcends physicality blooming into your aching chest. "Please."
There's a scuffle and a flash of blonde before Liam is crouching at your side, a thick fingered hand anchoring against the top of your head.
"I'm right here, my girl. You didn't think I'd leave you alone, did you?"
You shake your head vehemently despite the throbbing in your temples, your own fingers looping around his wrist to keep him close, to keep him touching you.
"It hurts, Li," you whimper, and it's the first sign of true weakness he's seen you expose in this long, painful week. You're safe to fall apart now, safe with the knowledge that he'll help you put yourself back together.
"I know. We just need to get you fixed up and you'll feel better."
He tips forward on his toes to press his cheek to yours, and the warmth of his breath tickles at the shell of your ear. His face turns, nose squishing into the soft flesh of your cheek, lips puckered in a kiss against the corner of your mouth. You feel the scab, long dried over, and the groove in his lip where it's split; when he tilts his head sideways to watch you, your eyes fix on it.
"You're hurt," you sniffle. "It's my fault."
"Oh, this old thing?" He waves you off, flippant as the tip of his finger prods at the dried skin. "Doesn't even hurt, angel. Don't you worry about me."
"I do worry about you."
You use the little strength you have left to turn on your side, tuning out Liam's abrupt protests until there'e enough room for two on the bed. He knows what you want from no more than a pleading glance.
"I can't-" he starts, and the complaints die in his throat when your fingers dig into the worn fabric of his uniform.
"I need you," you admit. His shoulders slouch in defeat.
"You promise to go to sleep?"
He lifts your tender body, propping you against a muscular forearm as he slides beneath you, and settling you between two thick thighs, your back to his chest. His warmth seeps into your pores and he feels you sag, only succumbing to the exhaustion now you know he's safe.
Fingernails scratch at your scalp and dimples crater into the centre of his cheeks when your head tilts to nuzzle deeper into the touch. The flaring pain resides to a dull - but manageable - ache.
"I'm tired," you say, muffled.
"I know, my girl." You don't miss the thrum of his pulse, the way it picks up when he catches sight of the deep bruises that mar your skin, the swelling from broken bones. He's angry.
And he's going to make them pay for this.

divider by @saradika
(read part 2 here)
Itâs coming up on nearly a week and a half of Joel working long days and late nights at the latest suburban McMansion heâs been contracted out to. Each and every time he creeps into his side of the bed after youâve already gone to sleep, never failing to wake you up in the process, he always has a different excuse. âMy concrete guy was out sick todayâ, âthe vendor gave us the wrong size rebarâ, âthe landscapers were in our way all damn dayâ, and other similar eye roll-inducing anecdotes that were followed up with sleepy apologies.
Tonight, youâre almost certain, will be just the same.
Slogging through yet another slow and uneventful day at your corporate nine-to-five, youâre practically counting down the seconds until youâll be able to escape your drab little cubicle for the day. You arenât exactly looking forward to going home, though, either. You know that all you have waiting for you will be another lonely night of heating up a frozen dinner, watching reality TV reruns until the ten oâclock news comes on, and then tucking yourself into a cold bed.
While youâre waiting around for a coworker to message you back about something painfully unimportant, you decide to get up to kill some time in the bathroom on your phone and stretch your legs a bit. You stand up from your rolling chair, grabbing your phone in the process, and head down the hall to the one single-person bathroom in the building that you know of.
You step inside and click the lock shut behind you, looking forward to having a rare few minutes to yourself without the threat of your manager lurking over your shoulder. You inspect your makeup in the mirror and address some flyaway hairs before leaning back against the sink and swiping your home screen into view. Your heart soars at the discovery of a text notification from Joel, but settles just as quickly when you read the words across your screen.
A couple of my dumbass guys fucked up some measurements again. Gonna be another late one. Sorry baby.Â
You let out an exasperated sigh and turn around to face your reflection again, bracing yourself on the edge of the sink and trying not to cry. How much fucking longer are you going to have to put up with this? You'd been getting through it alright so far, but his sterile text had ignited a raging fire deep in your stomach that made a scorching heat climb its way up the back of your neck.
Youâre determined to get his attention tonight, one way or another. Even if it means pushing some of his buttons, riling him up, making him feel a few licks of that very same inferno. Youâre feeling fucking bratty.
You undo the top few buttons of your blouse and shimmy it off your shoulders, exposing the blushing lace of the bra you had chosen when you were getting dressed this morning. Using one arm to hold your phone up to the mirror with the camera app open, you use the other one to prop yourself up against the sink and assist in pushing your tits together. As a final touch, you pull down one of the delicate cups along with its accompanying strap, exposing an already peaked nipple. Meeting your own eyes in the reflection and forming your glossy lips into a faux pout, you snap the picture and attach it to your text conversation with Joel. You type out a coy little message to go along with it and send it off.
thatâs okay daddy. just sad i wore a rly cute bra today for nothing :(
While you anxiously wait for his response, you take a few more lewd photos to tease him with later, and make your way back to your desk after you button yourself up again and smooth out your skirt.
Sitting back down at your cubicle, you check your notifications to find a response from Joel, sent just a few seconds ago.
Whatâd I tell you about sendin me shit like that when Iâm at work? Put your fuckin tits away babygirl. Not in the mood today.
Despite his harsh words, you know your plan is already working in your favor. You canât help but giggle to yourself as you attach another one of the photos you had taken in the bathroom, this one of your matching lace panties pulled aside to expose your bare pussy to the front camera. You type out another flirtatious message and tap the button to send it.
idk what u mean daddy :( just miss u is all. she misses u too :((
You promptly turn off your phone and place it screen-down next to your mousepad, resigning yourself to a mere ten minutes of work before you canât resist temptation anymore and pick it back up again to check for a reply.
Last warning babygirl. I got enough shit to deal with today, donât need your slutty pictures distractin me. Iâll see ya tonight.
whatever. u donât pay attention to me anymore anyway :/
You begin to regret your message as soon as you send it, worrying you might have taken things too far. But it was true; youâre upset, in a bratty mood, and feeling neglected. And, maybe you did want to work him up enough for him to take it all out on you, to fuck the attitude out of you the way you know he likes to do every so often.
A few seconds after you power off your screen to do a few more minutes of work, it illuminates again.
Oh I don't? When I get home tonight you better be kneelin in front of the door waitin for me undressed like a good girl. Not like the fuckin brat youâre actin like. And weâll see about payin you some attention. Now pull your fuckin panties up and get back to work.
Your heart jumps into your throat as you read his text, now feeling exhilarated that your plan is officially in motion. After youâve read his words through a couple of times, squeezing your thighs together and stifling a whimper as you did so, your trembling fingers type out a simple reply:
yes daddy <3
The remainder of your work day seems to pass by in slow motion, every minute feeling more like five. You can hardly bring yourself to focus on any of your mundane tasks, your mind constantly drifting to what you might be in for tonight. Will he spank you and leave red handprints on your ass for days? Will he fuck your face while you sputter and gasp around him? Will he work you over with his tongue until all you know how to say is âIâm sorry, Daddyâ? As you shake yourself from your trance and try to focus your eyes again, you wonder why you hadnât thought to act up like this earlier in the week. You keep your eye on the little digital clock in the corner of your monitor for the last five consecutive minutes of your work day, and as soon as 4:59 flashes to 5:00, you practically sprint out to your car in your hurry to get home.
â
Youâre cuddled up on the couch underneath your favorite fleece blanket, already stripped down to your peony-colored underwear set like Joel had requested. The past couple of hours have been spent cycling between all of your streaming services and social media apps, trying desperately to find something to occupy yourself with until he gets home. Youâre half-tempted to get up and walk some laps around the house, but around 10:30, you finally see the scanning headlights of Joelâs pickup as it turns into the driveway.
You immediately spring up from your little nest on the couch and prance over to the front door, kneeling a few feet in front of it just like he ordered.
In your excited anticipation to see him, you tune your ears to pick up every little sound you hear as he makes his way to you: the slam of the truckâs driverâs side door, the dull thud of his work boots heading up the walkway, the prolonged jingling of his keys as he fumbles with them to unlock the door. Youâre sure heâs fidgeting with them for a few seconds longer than usual, just to tease you and keep you waiting. A shiver runs up your spine and you can feel your heart pounding against the walls of your chest as he finally turns the lock.
He calmly steps inside and closes the door behind him, dropping his dusty work bag onto the floor and stripping himself of his canvas tool belt. He stalks over to where youâre knelt on the hardwood, wrapped in your dainty lace for him like a little doll. Thereâs something arousing about the contrast between your barely-there feminine attire and his dark, practical clothing.
âWell, whaddya know, she can be good after all⊠Waitinâ for me all nice and pretty just like I asked. All it takes is an order from your Daddy to get you actinâ right again, ainât that right, babygirl? Obedient lilâ thingâŠâ He takes your chin between his thumb and forefinger as he speaks, keeping your eyes trained on his. You nod up at him, doe-eyed and dazed, already feeling yourself beginning to slip into that familiar saccharine headspace.
Every time you had previously tried your hand at bratting, it never lasted very long, and tonight was already proving to be no different. He was right, after all, it doesnât take more than a command, a look, a gentle grasp of your chin, to remind you of your desire to be good for him.
âWhat, Daddy doesnât get a proper greetinâ after a long day oâ work? You already that far gone fâ me, canât use your words proper like a big girl?âÂ
âH-hi, Daddy⊠Missed you today,â you half-whisper, your voice sounding a little higher and further away than it did earlier in the day.
âYeah, I know yâ did⊠Iâll bet your lilâ panties are âbout soaked through already, bet you left a wet spot on your fuckinâ desk chair just from daydreaminâ about what I was gonna do to you tonight, hm?â
Another silent nod accompanied by a pitiful little whimper. The blazing fire in your gut from this afternoon is quickly being replaced by something much more easily tamed, something more akin to a flickering candle flame than a wildfire. You struggle to keep your eyelids open as they begin to feel heavier with submission.
A stern look and a ticked jaw is enough for you to correct your wordless response.
âY-yes, DaddyâŠâ
âAnd what is it that you think Iâm gonna do with you tonight, babygirl? Speak up, nowâŠâ
You rack your brain for a moment, suddenly unable to remember any of the depraved fantasies you had been conjuring up all day instead of replying to emails. You eventually land on a relatively straightforward answer.
âI th-think youâre gonna⊠gonna fuck the attitude outta me, t-teach me a lesson⊠right, Daddy?â
He lets out a dark chuckle, releasing your chin from his hold to give your cheek a couple of condescending pats instead.
âAww, dumb lilâ thing⊠you thought Daddy was gonna touch you at all tonight, make that pathetic lilâ pussy cum after the stunts you were pullinâ today? Nah, I donât think so⊠Open that slutty fuckinâ mouth.â
Youâre reeling, taken aback by his harsh words, words that were certainly not in any of the countless scenarios you had been imagining at work. Thereâs a long beat of silence as you struggle to process his command.
You hear the smack across your face before you feel the heated sting of it, and it prompts a debauched mewl to spill from your parted lips.
âI said open your fuckinâ mouthâŠâ
Your jaw falls slack in an instant, your pulsing cunt releasing an ashamed wave of wetness at the degrading slap. Joel shoves his thumb inside your waiting mouth, and you wrap your lips around it obediently as you swirl your tongue along its calloused landscape. It tastes salty, a little dirty, and you like it.
âGood girl, suck on Daddyâs thumb, thaâs it⊠dumb whoreâll suck on anything Daddy puts in her mouth, wonât she? Desperate lilâ thing⊠Bet you wish it was this fat cock instead, donât you baby?â
You whine and nod around him, your hole squeezing around nothing as you look up at him with pleading eyes.
âWell⊠thatâs just too fuckinâ bad, ainât it? Tonightâs not about what you want, you can gimme that sad puppy look all you like, sugar, not gonna change anythinâ...â
He pulls his thumb out of your mouth, and your slick lips try to chase after it until he wipes it clean on the side of your face. His hands make quick work of opening his stained work jeans and freeing his stiff cock from his briefs, taking it into one hand and beginning to pump it with languid strokes. He grabs a fistful of hair at the base of your skull with his free hand and taps the leaking head of his length against your cheek, adding to the dampness there from your own saliva.
âThis what you want?â Tap tap tap. âYou want Daddyâs cock? Hm? This what you been thinkinâ about all day, dirty girl?â He rocks his hips back and forth as he speaks, smearing his arousal along your skin.
You canât help but squirm as a humiliated heat begins to pool in your tummy.
âYes, Daddy, please let me have it, wanâ it so badâŠâ you beg.
He releases your hair and pulls his cock away from your face, making a show of massaging it and taunting you with what he wonât let you have.
âNah, you ainât gettinâ any of Daddyâs cock tonight, baby⊠In fact, Iâm gonna stand right here and take care of mâself, and youâre gonna find somethinâ to rub that soakinâ cunt on while I watchâŠâ
As the last of his words leave his lips, he steps one foot forward and nudges it between your thighs, looking at you expectantly. You lower your head to face his steel-toed work boot, covered in dust and dirt from his day at the construction site. Your mind still too deep in the clouds to understand what heâs asking of you, you lift your eyes back up to him for guidance. He juts his chin out in a silent âgo on, thenâ, and you return your confused gaze back to his boot, the toe of which is positioned just in front of your aching heat. Your breath hitches and your eyes go wide as you finally realize: he wants to pleasure himself to the sight of you getting yourself off on his boot.
All at once, it falls into place how he wants the night to unfold. He wants to deny you. Deny you of his touch, his cock, even the privilege of making him feel good yourself⊠all because you acted out, disobeyed him, tested his limits.
âWe understand each other, darlinâ?â
âY-yes, DaddyâŠâ You meet his eyes as you speak, voice coming out a little unsteady. Any confidence you had while you were teasing him this afternoon is long gone, fully submitting to him now and completely at his mercy. He didnât need to fuck you in order to put you in your place, he knew plenty of other much more degrading ways to rid you of your bratty attitude, to remind you of who you belong to.
You position your cunt over the filthy toe of his boot, the gusset of your lacy panties now completely saturated with your wetness. Your hands planted on either side of his leg, you try an experimental grind onto the leather-covered steel. A bolt of electricity shoots from your swollen clit to your fevered cheeks, burning with the eroticism of being made to humiliate yourself like this. He allows you to wrap your arms around his calf, using his sturdy form as leverage to rub yourself harder and faster against the solid material.Â
âLook at you, humpinâ my boot like a fuckinâ dog⊠thatâs just what yâ are, ainât it? Daddyâs lilâ puppyâŠâ he teases, spurring you on with his words and the indecent sounds of his wet fist working along his thick cock.
You let out an involuntary yelp at the new pet name, which heâs quick to catch with a huff through his nose.
âOh, she likes that, donât she? Yâ like that, sweetheart, beinâ Daddyâs good girl, his obedient lilâ puppy? Yeah, I know yâ do⊠I got you trained good, donât I? Do just about anything I want, wonât you? Got you rubbinâ that slutty pussy on my fuckinâ boot, for Christâs sake, barely even had to ask⊠fuckinâ pathetic.â
The degradation makes your stomach swirl with a cocktail of embarrassment and pleasure. Your cunt flutters as you continue your frantic movements, releasing broken whimpers that sound something like uh huh and yes, Daddy. Youâre sure that your slick has to be dripping down his boot by now, soaking straight through the leather and pooling onto the hardwood. You wonder if he might punish you for that, too, for making a mess of him and your freshly mopped floors. Just the thought of it has your hips picking up the pace, desperate to reach your high.
Your eyes are shut tightly as you pursue your orgasm, but you can still hear the shallow pumps of Joelâs fist and his stuttering breaths that indicate heâs close to his own release.
âYeah, grind that sloppy fuckinâ puppy cunt on Daddyâs boot, there ya go⊠lookinâ like a goddamn bitch in heat⊠desperate whore⊠câmon, puppy, make a fuckinâ mess for meâŠâ
âIâm gonna cum, Daddy, gonnaââ
Just as you feel yourself about to crest the wave of your climax, he pulls his foot out from under you and yanks your head back by another fistful of hair.
âOpen up, puppy,â he groans as he splashes his hot release all over your face, aiming most of it around your mouth as you cry out from the denial of your own pleasure.
âLook at you, filthy girl⊠So pretty for Daddy, all covered in me,â he coos as the last few milky drops land on your cheek. Before any of it can start to drip, he scoops it up with his thumb and feeds it to you a bit at a time, and you continue to suck his finger into your eager mouth once again.
When your face is fully cleaned of his spend, he pulls his thumb from between your lips for a final time with a pop, and you stick out your tongue to show him youâve swallowed everything heâs given you.Â
âGood girl,â he praises, petting the side of your hair in soothing strokes. âWhat do you say to Daddy, hm?â
âTh-thank youâŠâ you choke out, still trying to steady your voice.
âAnd what else?â he asks.
You take a deep breath. âAnd⊠Iâm sorry, Daddy,â you relent.
âFor what, sweet girl?â
This was always your least favorite part, the part you struggled with the most: admitting that you were wrong.Â
âFor being a brat today, for not listening and disrespecting youâŠâ Your posture deflates, wondering if you should continue your confession. You remember one of the ground rules that was laid out when you first entered this dynamic with him, the one about how important communication is, and decide to keep going. âI jusâ feel like youâve hardly paid any attention to me the past few daysâŠâ You start to sniffle as you speak, the overwhelm of it all finally catching up with you.
âOhâŠâ he breathes sympathetically. âHere, can you stand up, babygirl? Câmon, come sit on Daddyâs lap for a minute.â
He offers you his hands, and you use them to push yourself up onto shaky legs, feeling like a newborn foal. You wrap your arms around his neck and he scoops you up, carrying you bridal-style back to your cozy spot on the couch. He situates you in his lap, wrapping you up in your blanket again, and you bury your face in the warm expanse of skin between his shoulder and neck. You inhale through your nose, smiling to yourself and sighing contentedly when your senses are flooded with his natural comforting smell.
âI know Iâve been workinâ some real late nights recently⊠Iâm sorry about that, honey,â he apologizes, rubbing comforting circles around your upper back.Â
ââS okay, Daddy, âs not your fault,â you say into his skin.
âBut I shoulda made more of an effort to give you some lovinâ anyway, I shouldnât have had to wait for you to brat on me⊠Look at me, baby.â You lift your head and meet his sincere gaze, his eyes flicking back and forth between yours. âIâm sorry, darlinâ.â
âIâm sorry too, Daddy.â
âI know yâ are, sweet girl, I knowâŠâ
You exchange warm smiles, and he curls his pointer finger under your chin to pull your face toward his, placing a delicate kiss to your lips. He settles both of his large hands on either side of your face before breaking the kiss to press your foreheads together. You close your eyes and try to match his breathing, enjoying this moment with him.
After a minute or so, you break the silence. âSo⊠puppy, huh? Thatâs a new one,â you giggle.
He laughs and releases your face from his hold, meeting your eyes again. âJusâ wanted to try somethinâ new, I guessâŠâ He snakes a hand under the blanket, thumbing over the damp crotch of your panties. âAnd judginâ by this lilâ mess down here, I take it you liked it. Hm, pretty girl?â
Still sensitive from your earlier denial, you let out a high pitched little whine and an involuntary buck of your hips into his hand.
âSee? Even sound like a lilâ puppy⊠Daddyâs good girl. You want Daddy to train you, babygirl, you wanna be his pretty lilâ pet?â
âUh huh, yes, Daddy, pleaseâŠâ Your face is buried in his chest as you rut into his hand, squeezing it between your thighs, back to the same place you were just before he pulled his boot out from underneath you.
âDaddy was so mean earlier, wasnât he? Not lettinâ you cum, punishinâ you for actinâ up⊠But I think youâve learned your lesson now, huh puppy? Câmon, sweet girl, let go, soak Daddyâs handâŠâ
And you do. With his permission, you cry out, muscles spasming and cunt twitching as you finally ride out the climax youâve been chasing all night. Youâre panting by the time you start to come down after what feels like several minutes, exhaustion hitting you hard all at once. When some of your awareness has come back to you, you realize that Joel is gently rocking you back and forth on his lap, petting the back of your head and gently shushing in your ear.
âShh, shh, youâre alright, babygirl, I gotcha, Daddyâs gotcha⊠So good for me, baby, my precious girlâŠâ
When your breathing evens out once more, you muster the strength to lift your head from its place against his heart, and he chuckles at the sleepy and sated look on your face as you blink slowly at him.
âMy lilâ puppyâs all tuckered out, huh? Letâs get you up to bed, darlinâ, Daddyâll tuck you in.â
He stands up with a groan, cradling you in his muscled arms, and carries you into the bedroom. Youâre already drifting off to sleep when he sits you on the bed, carefully stripping you of your ruined underwear and helping you into a clean, sensible pair of cotton undies. He retrieves one of his oversized âMiller Contractingâ shirts from his drawer and slips it over your head, helping your weak arms through the sleeves. Brushing your hair away from your face, he places a scruffy kiss to your hairline and helps you lay down onto the cool sheets. He pulls the covers up all the way over your shoulders, the way he knows you like, and smiles to himself when you burrow yourself into the sheets.
He takes a quick shower to rid himself of the grime and grit he collected on his skin during the day, and slips into bed beside you. Another private smile and a small shake of his head when you instinctually turn to face him and snuggle into his warm body, wrapping your arms around the breadth of his upper arm and inhaling the masculine cologne of his body wash.
He reaches across his chest to gently scratch at the top of your head, prompting a dreamy little noise from you. âJust like I said,â he whispers to himself, âa lilâ puppy.â
He wouldnât have you any other way.

ALWAYS AN ANGEL, NEVER A GOD âââ CCÂČÂČ (part 2/2)
âȘ requested -> "Can you write something about cc and reader being enemies and hating eachother. but they are on two different teams so they play against eachother and something happens during one of their games and they take their hate out on eachother with smut?" â« part one!
ïżœïżœïżœ warnings | nsfw under the cut, read at your own discretion. lots of shit talking, just rivals shit yk how it is. fingering but it's kinda soft (like the actual fucking part), lots of praise and a sprinkle of degradation (if u can even call it that) cause u know me.
âš missing out on updates? check out my wcbb masterlist!
EVER SINCE THE GAME AGAINST Iowa, you were determined to keep up the keep up the momentum and prove that your victory was no fluke.
In the weeks that followed, you poured your heart and soul into every practice, honing your skills with a relentless intensity that left your teammates in awe. Every drill, every scrimmage, every mere second on the court was a chance to improve, to get one step closer to your ultimate goal (you weren't sure what it was at this point, to prove yourself to Caitlin or the world).
But it wasn't just about proving yourself on the court. Caitlin's words lingered in your mind, a constant reminder of the unresolved tension between you. The memory of that heated encounter in the hotel hallway replayed in your thoughts, the desire and frustration mixing into a potent cocktail that fueled your determination.
You found yourself replaying the moments of that game over and over in your head â the way you intercepted Caitlin's pass, the exhilaration of your dunk, and the look of pure rage in her eyes (and of course, the kiss that followed). You thrived on those memories, using them as motivation to push yourself beyond your limits.
"Good job, Y/N!" Hailey called out during one particularly grueling scrimmage, her admiration evident in her voice. "What, did you have an energy drink before or what?"
You gave her a playful shove as you shrugged, wiping the sweat from your brow as you walked toward your water bottle. "Just trying to stay ahead,"
Hailey shot you a knowing look, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips. "This isn't just about staying ahead, is it?" she teased. "It's about Caitlin."
"You can't say her name out loud like that," you joked as Hailey laughed. You didn't bother denying it, the truth too obvious to ignore. "Maybe," you admitted, a hint of a smile tugging at your lips.
As the season progressed, your hard work began to pay off. You dominated the court with a newfound confidence, your skills shining brighter than ever before. The media took notice, your name becoming synonymous with excellence, just like Caitlin's.
But even as you basked in the glory of your success, you couldn't shake the lingering thoughts of Caitlin. You wondered how she was doing, whether she was training just as hard, whether she thought about you as often as you thought about her.
You kept repeating the moment in your mind, over and over again, feeling some kind of weird excitement at her words.
"I'm not fucking you until we win," she replied, her voice low and husky, the words a mere whisper against the charged silence that enveloped you both. "Until I get the trophy, until your team loses."
However, you knew that pushing her buttons would make the hook-up a whole lot more satisfying. You thought about that particular part a lot more than you should have, the challenge in her voice igniting a fire within you that you couldn't ignore.
Then, one day, the schedule for the next season was released, and there it was â the match against Iowa, the game that would determine once and for all who would come out on top. The date was set, and you felt a surge of excitement and nerves at the prospect of facing Caitlin again.
The weeks leading up to the game were a whirlwind of preparation and anticipation. Your coach pushed you harder than ever, knowing how much was riding on this matchup. And through it all, Caitlin's words continued to echo in your mind, a constant source of "motivation", if you could even call it that.
Finally, the day arrived. The arena was packed, the energy palpable as fans from both sides filled the stands. As you stepped onto the court, your heart pounded with adrenaline, and your eyes scanned the crowd until they landed on Caitlin.
She stood across from you, her dark gaze intense and unwavering. You could feel the heat of her stare, a silent promise of the battle to come. As the referee signaled the start of the game, you took a deep breath, centering yourself for what was about to unfold.
From the very first whistle, the game was a fierce clash of skill and determination. You and Caitlin matched each other move for move, your rivalry playing out in a series of fast breaks, sharp passes, and contested shots. The tension was palpable, the crowd hanging on every moment as the score remained neck and neck.
As the clock wound down, the score was tied, and the pressure mounted. You found yourself with the ball, Caitlin guarding you closely, her eyes locked onto yours with a mix of challenge and desire. With a quick move, you faked left, then darted right, driving towards the basket with all the speed and agility you could muster.
As you drove towards the basket, Caitlin moved to intercept your path. With a swift motion, she blocked your shot, sending the ball ricocheting off the backboard. The force of her block knocked you off balance, and you stumbled, falling hard onto the court.
You hit the ground with a thud, the impact jolting through your body as you landed awkwardly on the hardwood floor. Pain shot through your limbs, but it was nothing compared to the sting of defeat that washed over you in that moment.
Caitlin stood over you, her dark gaze intense and unyielding as she glared down at you with satisfaction and you hated it. There was a silent challenge in her eyes, a reminder of the relentless rivalry that defined your relationship both on and off the court â you could practically read her mind, "I'm getting the trophy."
As the referee blew the whistle to signal a turnover, Caitlin offered you a hand, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips. "Good try, Y/N," she taunted, her voice laced with a hint of amusement. "Maybe you should uh, stick to defense."
As Caitlin extended her hand towards you, a smirk dancing on her lips, something inside you snapped. Maybe it was the sting of defeat or the frustration and anger that had been building within you throughout the game, and you couldn't hold it any longer.
With a scowl, you swatted Caitlin's hand away, ignoring the lingering pain in your limbs as you rose to your feet on your own. "Shut up, Caitlin," you spat, your voice dripping with venom as you glared up at her. "You're just a self entitled bitch who thinks she owns the court,"
"I do," Caitlin stepped so she was directly in front of you. You looked up at the brunette, suddenly feeling small under the weight of her imposing presence. Despite the anger that simmered beneath the surface, you couldn't deny the intensity of the moment as Caitlin's dark eyes bore into yours.
"You don't get to talk to me like that," she continued, her voice low and dangerous, a warning laced with barely contained fury. "And didn't I tell you to cut the fucking attitude?"
You just scoffed, however some sick part of you liked this, the way she was talking to you. As much as you wanted to deny it, there was a certain allure in the challenge she presented, the promise of tonight making the whole thing a lot harder to resist.
Caitlin's proximity was overwhelming, her presence towering over you. You felt a surge of defiance rising within you, fueled by the adrenaline coursing through your veins.
"And what if I don't?" you shot back, your voice laced with defiance as you met her intense gaze head-on. "What are you gonna do about it, Caitlin?"
Caitlin's jaw clenched, a flicker of anger flashing in her eyes before she regained her composure. "You wanna find out?" she retorted, her tone sharp and cutting as she leaned in closer, her breath hot against your skin.
You felt a rush of heat flood your cheeks, a mixture of fear and excitement swirling in the pit of your stomach. Despite the tension between you, there was an undeniable thrill in the air, a palpable energy that crackled between you like electricity.
But before anything could escalate, Hailey's arm yanked you away, breaking the charged moment between you and Caitlin. The sudden interruption jolted you back to reality, the adrenaline still coursing through your veins as you were pulled back into the flow of the game.
With a sharp exhale, you forced yourself to focus, pushing aside the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to overwhelm you. The game had resumed as quickly as it had been interrupted, the intensity of the match returning with renewed vigor.
But despite your best efforts, Iowa proved to be a formidable opponent, their skill and determination matching your own at every turn. As the final seconds ticked away, the score remained neck and neck, the outcome of the game hanging in the balance.
And then, with a final buzzer, it was over â Iowa emerged as the winners, the thrill of victory evident on their faces as they celebrated their hard-fought win. As the reality of defeat sank in, you couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, the bitter taste of loss lingering on your tongue.
"God fucking damn it," you muttered under your breath as you glared toward them.
As if on cue, Caitlin turned around and met your gaze. Her expression was satisfaction, a silent acknowledgment of the victory she had secured over you and your team. You felt a surge of frustration rise within you, the bitterness of defeat stinging like a fresh wound.
ââ
"Y/N?" The reporter's voice pulled you back into reality as you shook your head, opening your eyes with a very forced smile.
You nodded your head. "Yeah, sorry. Zoned out, uh... can you repeat the question?"
The reporter gave you a sympathetic smile before repeating the question. "I was just asking for your thoughts on the game and the performance of both teams, particularly Caitlin Clark. She had a standout performance tonight."
Yeah, of course she fucking did, you wanted to shout but you just nodded. "Yeah, she played a great game," you replied, your voice steady despite the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. "She's a talented player. Iowa put up a tough fight, and they deserved the win tonight."
The interview was slow and it felt every answer you were giving was fake but you were livid. As soon as it was over, you practically ran out of there. You needed to blow off some steam, and you had no idea howâ
Oh.
"I'm not fucking you until we win," she replied, her voice low and husky, the words a mere whisper against the charged silence that enveloped you both. "Until I get the trophy, until your team loses."
You had forgotten about the entire thing until that moment and despite all the anger, your stomach twisted in excitement. However, it was a year ago and you weren't even sure if Caitlin meant what she said, she was probably just really angry because of how the game ended, much like how you were feeling right now.
As you mulled over the memory, a sense of longing washed over you, mingling with the lingering anger and frustration that still simmered beneath the surface. Despite everything, despite the rivalry and the animosity, there was an undeniable attraction between you and Caitlin, a magnetic pull that defied your comprehension.
Then, your phone buzzed inside your pocket.
Cait: got the trophy đ„ Cait: did you think i forgot?
You had forgotten you even had her number, it was from so long ago. The text made your stomach drop (in a very, very good way) as a rush of emotions flooded through you. Surprise, excitement, and a hint of apprehension all mingled together as you read Caitlin's messages.
It was as if the past year had been condensed into those few simple words, reigniting the unresolved tension between you with startling clarity. However, you couldn't shake the nagging doubt that lingered in the back of your mind â was this just another game to her? Another way to assert her dominance and superiority over you?
Cait: where u at?
And that was all it took for her to win you over. You knew you were letting your heart do all the talking but right now, you just wanted to feel good. Was that so bad?
ââ
The knock on the door shouldn't have startled you as much as it did, especially since you had been waiting for it. But still, when the knock echoed through the room, a shiver of anticipation raced down your spine.
You took a moment to steady yourself, to quell the fluttering nerves that threatened to overwhelm you, before crossing the room to answer the door.
As you swung it open, Caitlin stood before you, her presence commanding and intoxicating all at once. She was wearing a black hoodie and sweats, the hood was up and she looked too good. Your eyes scanned her body and you saw her lips quirk up into a smirk.
You felt your stomach leap out of your body at the sight, and you felt like you were gonna go insane, were you ovulating?
"Hey," she greeted, her voice husky with desire as she stepped closer, closing the distance between you with deliberate intent.
"Hey," you replied, your voice barely above a whisper as you met her gaze head-on. Despite the tension that lingered in the air, there was an undeniable pull between you, a magnetic force that drew you together like moths to a flame.
And as Caitlin's lips crashed against yours in a searing kiss, all doubts and fears melted away. In that moment, nothing else mattered â not the rivalry, and certainly not the consequences, nothing except the intoxicating desire that pulsed between you and Caitlin.
Caitlin's hands gripped your hips as she closed the hotel door with her leg, effortlessly. Her lips stayed on yours as her hands roamed your body, exploring every curve and contour with a hunger that sent shivers down your spine. The heat of her touch seared through you, igniting a fire that blazed hotter with each passing moment.
Lost in the heat of the moment, you pressed closer to her, your body molding to hers. With a low growl, Caitlin lifted you effortlessly, your legs wrapping around her waist as she carried you further into the room. Every touch, every kiss, only fueled the pure need that raged between you, driving you both to the brink of ecstasy.
And as you surrendered yourself to her, you knew that this was just the beginning â the beginning of something that would consume you fully despite resisting it for so long.
She dropped you onto the bed and broke the kiss, her eyes dark as she gazed at you. You were both breathing heavily as you tried your best to maintain eye contact, despite the pressure that was building your lower stomach.
"Didn't think you'd answer," Caitlin finally spoke, her voice breathless as she began climbing on top of you.
"Why?" You asked as she latched her lips to your neck, sucking harshly as you gripped the sheets beneath you.
"Because you're stubborn," Caitlin murmured against your skin, her breath hot and heavy as she trailed kisses along your jawline. "But I knew eventually, you'd realize that there's no point in all that whining,"
You let out a shaky breath, her words igniting a fierce hunger within you as you arched into her touch, craving more of her intoxicating presence.
"I knew all you wanted was for me to show you why I'm better," Caitlin teased as she began stroking your sides.
You wanted to counter, to say anything back to her but you couldn't â she already had consumed you and you couldn't of any reason why you'd want to resist her any longer.
Caitlin pulled your lips into another harsh kiss, pulling a moan out of your lips. That seemed to encourage her because next thing you know, she's pulling your shorts off. Her hands eventually found your neck, pushing you into the mattress as you both moaned into the kiss.
Caitlin pulled away for a second, pulling her hoodie over her head and gazed at you, expectantly. You mirrored her actions and you were left only in your bra and underwear, you felt embarrassed under her gaze until she pulled you into a deeper kiss.
Her hands gripped your face and pulled you from the kiss, earning a disappointed whimper from you. "Look at me,"
You met her gaze, the intensity of her dark eyes holding you captive.
"You're fucking beautiful," Caitlin murmured, her fingers tracing the outline of your jaw.
Her words sent a shiver down your spine, the sincerity in her voice disarming you completely. You nodded, swallowing hard as you tried to steady your breathing.
Caitlin's hands moved to the clasp of your bra, her touch gentle yet deliberate as she unhooked it, letting it fall away. She leaned in, her lips brushing against your ear as she whispered, "I'm gonna make you feel so good, you're gonna forget how much you hate me."
A soft moan escaped your lips as her hands roamed over your body, exploring every inch of your skin with a tenderness that contrasted sharply with the intensity of her gaze. You arched into her touch, your body responding to her every move with an urgency that left you breathless.
As she trailed kisses down your neck and across your collarbone, you felt the last of your doubts melt away, leaving you completely vulnerable and exposed.
Her hands found your thighs and squeezed them, her fingers slowly drawing closer to the place you'd wanted her all night. Caitlin's finger slowly began stroking your clothed pussy, her eyes watching your every movement.
You let out a broken whimper, your head falling back on to the mattress before her other hand gripped your face, guiding your gaze back to hers.
"What did I fucking say? Look at me," Caitlin spat, her voice a mix of authority and desire. You forced your eyes open, meeting her intense stare, the heat between you building with every passing second.
"So fucking wet, all for me," she murmured, as continued stroking your clothed heat; she could feel it pulsing all because of her and it made her ego skyrocket even more.
Caitlin's finger moved and before you could voice your disapproval, she slowly slid your underwear off. You were completely naked now, you could feel her eyes rake over you fondly. She spread your legs again, further this time â each leg was placed at her sides, leaving you completely exposed and vulnerable under her gaze. Caitlin's eyes darkened with desire as she took in the sight of you, her breath hitching slightly.
"So pretty," she murmured, almost to herself, as she trailed her fingers lightly up your inner thigh, sending shivers of anticipation through your body.
You squirmed beneath her touch, a mix of excitement and impatience coursing through you. "Cait," you breathed out, your voice barely above a whisper, filled with need.
She looked up at you, her eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that made your heart race. "I want you to remember this," she said, her voice low. "Every time you think you can challenge me, every time you think you can beat me, I want you to remember how I make you feel right now."
With that, she leaned down, her lips finding yours in a deep, hungry kiss that almost knocked the breath out of you. Her hands continued their exploration, moving with a confidence that left you trembling with anticipation.
"Do you still think I'm a bitch?" she murmured against your lips, a teasing edge to her voice.
You could barely form a coherent thought, let alone a response, but managed to shake your head, a breathless, "No," escaping your lips.
"Good," Caitlin replied, her lips curving into a satisfied smile. "Because I want you to know exactly who's in control here."
And with that, her finger slid into you perfectly. You let out a surprised moan, your back arching against the mattress. "Oh, fu-fuck."
Her finger began thrusting in and out of you, swiftly. You were so soaked, her finger was moving easily in and out of you. Caitlin's hand gripped your hip, pulling you closer into her.
She slowed down her movements and you let out an disapproving huff, her gaze intense as she looked down at you. "Why did you hate me? Were you jealous?"
Did: as in, past tense.
Her tone sounded almost amused but there was an edge of seriousness to it. "What?"
"I thought that's what it was," her finger slowly began moving again, causing your breath to hitch. "I don't think that's what it was now," she continued, her voice contemplative. "I think it was something else."
You could barely focus, your mind clouded with the sensation of her touch, but her words cut through the haze, making you confront something you'd been avoiding. "I don't hate you," you admitted, your voice barely more than a whisper. "I never hated you."
Caitlin's smirk grew, she knew exactly what she was doing. Her finger continuing their slow, torturous rhythm. "Then what was it, Y/N? Why all the anger?"
"Because," you gasped, struggling to form coherent thoughts under her relentless pace. "Because you always got to me. You always made me feel... things I didn't want to feel."
Her movements stilled for a moment, her eyes searching yours. "And now?"
"Now," you swallowed hard, your breath coming in ragged gasps. "Now, I can't stop thinking about you."
A slow, satisfied smile spread across Caitlin's face, her fingers resuming their movement. "Good," she murmured, leaning down to capture your lips in a searing kiss. "Because I don't plan on letting you forget this anytime soon."
Her touch became more quick, driving you closer and closer to the edge once again. The intensity of the moment was almost overwhelming, the culmination of all the pent-up anger and unresolved tension between you. She added another finger slowly, causing you to let out another breathless moan as your back arched.
"Take it, come on. I know you can," Caitlin's fingers never faltered as she gazed down at you. "Fuck, who's the princess now, huh?" she spat as she finger-fucked you, your legs beginning to shake.
As the pleasure built to a fever pitch, you felt yourself letting go of everything â the rivalry, the anger, the fear â and surrendering completely to the sensation.
"Cait," you moaned, your hands gripping her shoulders as you reached the brink, your body trembling with anticipation.
"That's it, fuck," she whispered against your lips, her breath hot and ragged. "Let go for me."
And with a final, shattering wave of pleasure, you did, your body convulsing in her arms as you cried out her name. Her finger rode you through it, your chest heaving as you slowly came down from your high.
"Can't believe I did that with just my fingers, baby." The pet-name left her lips effortlessly as she broke you out of your reverie. You couldn't believe it, either.
Her fingers slid out of you and she pushed your lips open, forcing them into your mouth. You sucked them clean as she looked down at you, her shitfaced smirk was back.
You rolled your eyes as she removed her finger with a pop. "Yeah, well, don't get too cocky," you shot back, trying to regain some semblance of control even though your body was still trembling.
She laughed, the sound was unfamiliar but genuine; it made your heart flip. "How can I not? I mean, Jesus, I had you literally tell me you never hated me while I was knuckles deep inside you. It was one finger too-"
You groaned loudly, cutting her off as her laughter slowly died down. "I just wanted to cum,"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah," you countered, finally meeting her gaze. She had the same cocky ass expression, the one you've always hated â but now felt different, somehow.
"Thought I told you to cut the attitude, Y/N," she teased, her fingers trailing along your arm, sending shivers down your spine. Her eyes bore into yours, the intensity of her gaze sending a shiver down your spine.
You felt a surge of defiance rise within you, refusing to back down. "And what if I don't?" you challenged, your voice steady despite the fluttering in your chest.
Caitlin's smirk widened, a glint of amusement and something deeper flickering in her eyes. "Then I'll just have to remind you why you shouldn't,"
She leaned in and pressed her lips against lips in another heated kiss, her hands roaming your body with a renewed sense of purpose. The teasing edge in her touch drove you wild, a tantalizing reminder of the power she held over you.
"You're impossible," you muttered against her lips.
"And you love it," she shot back, her breath hot against your skin as she moved to kiss along your jawline, her hands exploring every inch of you. The sensation was intoxicating, every touch sending waves of pleasure through your body.
As she continued her relentless assault on your jaw, you couldn't help but surrender to the moment, letting go of all the anger and frustration that had once defined your relationship. In that instant, all that mattered was the connection between you, the raw, unfiltered desire that pulsed through your veins.
"Do you regret it?" Caitlin's voice was softer now, almost vulnerable, as she paused to look into your eyes.
You shook your head, a small smile playing at your lips. "No," you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. "No, I don't."
Caitlin's eyes softened, her expression shifting from playful to something more tender. "Good," she murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Cause neither do I."

á„«áĄ. kook! jj, who can't keep his dick to himself.
warning: toxic!jj, cheating, public sex (fingering), language
You sighed, watching JJ flirt shamelessly with yet another woman at the Country Club bar. His pearly whites flashed as he leaned in close, whispering something that made her giggle. You rolled your eyes, sipping your martini.
A familiar pang of jealousy twisted in your gut, but you pushed it aside. This was nothing new. JJ had always been a player, even back when you first met him. You'd known exactly what you were getting into.
Still, you couldn't help but wonder why you stayed.
Maybe it was the way his khakis and Polo hugged his athletic frame, or how his cologne lingered tantalizingly whenever he brushed past. Or perhaps it was the thrill of being with someone so desired, knowing you were the one he came home to at the end of the night.
As if sensing your gaze, JJ glanced over and winked. Damn him and that roguish grin. Your anger melted away as he excused himself and sauntered back, sliding onto the barstool beside you.
With a sinister smirk, he leaned in close and whispered, "Did you miss me, gorgeous?" His hand slid up your thigh with an intensity that sent shivers down your spine. Despite your anger, JJ's touch ignited a fire within you that you couldn't resist.
Your mind raced as he brushed the hem of your skirt, reminding you of all the times he had bought you gifts to win you over. But this time, his touch felt like a threat, like a possessive mark left on your body.
"This a cute piece," he taunted, pulling at the fabric possessively,
"Did I buy you this cute little number?"You could feel yourself weakening under his manipulative hold and hated yourself for still wanting him despite everything he had done.
You tried to push away the memories, but they flooded back as his fingers traced patterns on your skin.
"I can tell your side piece over there can't get enough of you," you growled, nodding towards the girl JJ had been cozying up to, who was now frantically scanning the room for him.
"She ain't missing me, she's just craving my dick. I've already had her once--" he says casually, as if it means nothing.
"When?" you interrupt, your jealousy fueling your words. But deep down, you already know the answer and it makes your stomach churn with disgust.
"I don't know." Jay shrugs. " A week or so ago? Two weeks ago, maybe." He casually said, as if it means nothing.
Your blood boils and you feel sick to your stomach.
"You're such a pig," you spit out, unable to contain your disgust any longer. With a heavy heart, you stand up and walk away, unable to bear being near JJ any longer. But of course, he follows behind you, trying to make excuses or apologies that fall on deaf ears.
"Hey, come on, don't be like that," Jay's voice echoes after you, his footsteps pounding against the linoleum floors as he rushes to catch up. "I was just being honest."
You spin around, seething with rage as you lock eyes with him. "Honest? You're supposed to be loyal to me, Jackson, but instead you're out here screwing other women behind my back?" Every word drips with venom as you advance towards him, ready to unleash your pent-up fury.
"Sweetheart, come on." JJ tries to smooth things over in his suave manner, glancing around the deserted hallway before pulling you closer by your hips. "You know I love you, right? You're my everything."
JJ's face may have been a replica of his mother's flawless beauty, but his father's manipulative nature runs through his veins like a toxic poison.
The mere thought of Groff's influence on him ignites a fierce rage within you, intensifying as you feel JJ's hand creeping up your skirt once again--this time his fingers exploring the delicate lace of your panties. You can sense his intent, and it sends shivers down your spine as you struggle to contain the boiling fury inside you.
"You know I wouldn't intentionally hurt you, baby." His words do little to calm the storm brewing inside you as he looks at you with those soft, doe-like eyes--damn him--just as his palm cups your throbbing sex.
A moan escapes your lips as his cool Signant Ring presses against your engorged clit.
"Jay, we can't do this here," you hiss, turning your head to scan for any onlookers.
"Who says we can't?" He counters, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
Your senses are heightened as your eyes dart around, searching for prying eyes or gossiping villagers. The thought of being caught only intensifies the thrill coursing through your veins.
"Jay, please," you mewl, feigning resistance, though your hips betray you by arching closer to his touch. His lips curve into a smirk, knowing how deeply his ministrations affect you. He uses this knowledge ruthlessly as he presses down on your sweet spot with just enough pressure to have your toes curling in your heels.
"No one's looking," he whispers in your ear, his voice low and velvety, just as his fingers slipped beneath the silk of your panties. A shiver ran down your spine at the feeling of his fingertips brushing against your bare skin.
As JayJay's skilled fingers continued their exploration, your mind clouded over with desire. The combination the warmth of the room, and the knowledge that you could be discovered at any moment only served to heighten your arousal. You gripped the wall, desperate for support as sensation after sensation washed over you.
Suddenly, he slipped a single finger inside of you, and you couldn't help but moan louder this time, Smitten by lust, you didn't care. All that mattered was the delicious friction between your legs, the expert way his fingers moved in and out of you, plundering your depths with practiced ease.
As JayJay added a second finger, stretching you open even further, every ounce of resentment and jealousy you harbored vanished into thin air.
The smooth, probing digits hitting all the right spots within you, sending shivers of pleasure coursing through your entire body. All that mattered in that moment was the exquisite sensations building up inside of you, demanding release.
That bitch at the bar, JJ's insufferable bragging about their sexual conquestsânone of it mattered anymore. The only thing that mattered was the overwhelming need to come on JayJay's fingers, right there in the dimly lit corridors, far away from prying eyes but close enough to tease with the risk of getting caught.
The silence around you was deafening, broken only by the wet sounds of arousal escaping as Jay fingers pumped faster into your cunt, his blue eyes never leaving your face.
JJ could feel the tight grip of your pulsing pussy around his fingers, a clear indication that you were on the brink of ecstasy. He knows that if he can make you gush and lose control, you will forget about everything else - him, the girl at the bar, and any other thoughts that may have been occupying your mind.
JayJay added a third finger, stretching you deliciously, his thumb circling your clit as he began a relentless assault on your most sensitive spots. The wall behind you felt like the only thing keeping you grounded as your senses swam with lust and need. His gaze bored into yours, his smirk widening as he witnessed the effect he had on you. You were open and vulnerable in more ways than one.
The corridor spun dizzyingly around you, but all you could focus on was the pleasure building up inside you, coiled tighter and tighter as JayJay continued his expert ministrations. Your moans became louder, more desperate, and you didn't care who heard or saw anymore. All that mattered was reaching the peak that was so close yet so far away.
"That's it, baby," he cooed. "Let it all out f'me."
His words sent a shiver down your spine, and you felt yourself teetering on the edge. JayJay's fingers curled inside you, hitting that perfect spot that made you see stars. Your legs trembled, threatening to give out as the pressure built to an almost unbearable level.
"J-JayJay," you gasped, your voice barely above a whisper. "I'm so closeâŠ"
He leaned in, his hot breath tickling your ear as he whispered, "Then come for me, sweetheart. Let me feel you fall apart."
That was all it took. With a cry that echoed through the corridor, you came undone around his fingers. Waves of pleasure crashed over you, your body shaking as JayJay worked you through your orgasm. He held you steady, his free arm wrapping around your waist to keep you upright as you rode out the high.
Jayâs lips curled into that devilish smirkâa signature of his, one that both thrilled and infuriated you. His fingers, slick with evidence of your surrender, brushed against your thigh as he slowly retreated, deliberately leaving a trail of heat in their absence. His blue eyes bored into yours, darkened with triumph and something more primal, something that left your knees trembling.
And just like that, JJ had you again in his magnet tar pit trap.
As JJ removed his fingers from your panties and brought them to your lips, coating your mouth in your own juices, savoring the sweet, musky taste of arousal. His eyes locked with yours, a challenge dancing in their depths.
"Taste yourself," he said, his voice low and commanding. Your cheeks flushed red, but the arousal coursing through your veins overpowered any last shreds of modesty.
Slowly, you parted your lips and closed them around his fingers, lapping up every drop of your essence. Your heart pounded in your chest as your tongue swirled around his digits, a sultry dance of your submission and desire.
JJ had treated you like shit, you knew, your friends knew, even JJ himself knew, yet you couldn't help the craving that swelled within you for himâa craving to be claimed, to be marked, to be his in every way that mattered.
as always, reblogs and comments keeps me motivated. đ«¶đŸ

Imagine Going On A Date With Hangman
Jake 'Hangman' Seresin X FemReader
Rating: T
Warnings: Teasing, mentions of an abusive relationship in the past, tooth rotting fluff
Word Count: 1.9k
Part 1: here
Taglist: @chaoticcassidy, @the-marshals-wife, @hotch-meeeeeuppppp
(A/N:) I have been lagging behind on my writing here lately as my artwork has been taking the majority of my time. I'm in the process of opening an Etsy store because all my creations are starting to pile up and I live in an area that people aren't interested in fandom things. So I'm taking matters in my own hands. But I am going to keep writing! Being able to write these fun imagines is something I love doing and won't give up for anything! So I'm going to try to write more and to my bestie who wanted a second part of the last Hangman imagine here is that date part you wanted! I have two more requests in store so keep an eye out! Until next time happy reading! ~Countess
The setting sun and crashing waves were your only companions as you sat on a bench outside The Hard Deck. You couldn't remember what really possessed you to agree to Hangman's request, and you were really questioning what had gotten into you as he was naturally late. You tapped your foot, glancing at your phone to see what time it was. You decided to give him a moment longer, before you gave up and went home. You had just placed your phone back in your purse for the tenth time when a pickup pulled into The Hard Deck's small parking lot. You rolled your eyes, knowing it was just another bar hopper when the driver side door swung open. Boots thudded against the ground as you lost yourself in the search for your keys in the bottomless purse you lugged around.
"Hello," the familiar voice cut through your grumbling.
"You're late," you hissed
"Fashionably," Hangman retorted.
Giving him a once over," No just late."
"If I wasn't so confident in myself that would have hurt my feelings."
"Confident and inflated ego are two totally different things," you crossed your arms.
"Sure," Hangman grinned. "Sorry I'm late it won't happen again."
"So confident that there will be a next time?"
"Absolutely."
You hummed, zipping back up your bag. You came all this way and waited this long. No sense in going home now when he just got here.
"Okay flyboy," you held out your hand. "Woo me."
Without hesitation Hangman took your offered hand, kissing your knuckles before leading you towards the passenger side of his truck and opening the door. Once you were seated in the passenger side, Hangman shut the truck door. Naturally he pumped his fist and raced around the front to the driver side. You couldn't help but laugh, though you did roll your eyes. Sliding the keys into the ignition and starting the truck, letting the diesel engine rumble for a few seconds you waited until Hangman started to shift into reverse.
"So what do you have planned for me this evening?"
He shrugged looking out the back window as he steered the big truck out of the parking lot. "I thought we might go bar hopping."
"Seriously?!" Any thought of you enjoying tonight and that Hangman would actually be pleasant for a change went out the window. Maybe you were having a moment of naivety that night you said yes. Now all those what if's and worrisome thoughts started to avalanche in your mind, until Hangman started to laugh.
"I'm joking," he coughed. "Don't worry I have a fun night planned.
"Now I'm worried what your definition of fun is," you retorted cheeks flushing red in anger.
"Lighten up sweetheart I won't do anything you don't want."
Your teeth began to grind and you were really starting to question your sanity. "Has anyone ever told you that they'd like to throat punch you?"
"I'm sure but they never voiced it,"
"Well let me tell you I really want to throat punch you."
"Good to know we're off to a good start tonight! First something to eat."
Despite being a storm of rage in the passenger seat from Hangman's teasing it didn't take long before he was able to ease you into a simmer. You watched the scenery go by while Hangman told funny stories from work. Though you drove these streets for years, you never really got to enjoy the sights as you were always too focused on the road to notice little details. Hangman could tell that you weren't really paying attention but it didn't stop him from talking. You had your arm resting on the center console, finger gently tapping to the music on the radio. He smirked to himself when he got caught at another red light.
"Are you listening," he asked.
You just replied with, "Hmmmm?"
"I'll take that as a no," he scoffed before glancing once more at your digits tapping even harder against the hard plastic. The stop light still glaring red in the night that was settling in, he eased his hand over yours, stopping your fingers movements before he interlaced your fingers with his. You jumped, quickly glancing over. Instead of saying a word at your shocked face he placed gentle kisses to the back of your hand. The light turned green, but he didn't release your hand as he drove on. You paid a little more attention to the conversation though your heart was pounding loudly as you kept glancing from the vehicles passing by to your hand swallowed by Hangman's much larger and calloused hand. You breathed a sigh of relief when the restaurant came into view and Hangman parked the truck.
"Stay," he demanded before hurriedly getting out and racing to your door.
You rolled your eyes but just waited. He opened the door with a flourish before offering you a hand to help you out. With you "safely" on the ground, Hangman slammed the door shut and locked the truck up. For the third time in the evening he took your hand, walking hand in hand to the entrance.
"You know you don't have to go so far for me," you said.
"Of course I do. You agreed to go out with me and I want you to be treated the way you deserve," he retorted still gripping your hand while he opened the restaurant door for you as well.
"Oh please don't make me gag with the goody two shoes act you cocky jerk," you laughed.
The hostess waved a server over as soon as you both walked in, cutting off Hangman's reply by leading you both to a table. You noticed that it wasn't an overly stuffy restaurant. You could tell by the smells coming from the kitchen that they had good food but it was still a comfortable enough atmosphere that you didn't have to worry about snobby rich people sneering at your comfy clothing choice. Once seated and your drink orders placed you raised the menu to start browsing. Usually you could decide what you wanted pretty quickly but tonight you were shaken by the way Hangman was acting so it was going to take you a minute to concentrate. The menu was suddenly slapped down onto the table. Hangman kept his hand pressed against the laminated paper making sure you couldn't hide behind it. You felt a little guilty for what you said before you both were interrupted just a moment ago.
"It's not an act," he glared. "I'm being genuine right now, just for you. I've wanted this for awhile and I don't want to do anything to mess it up. I'm sorry I was late. I was so nervous that I didn't know what I wanted to wear or where I should take you until last minute. I've been flustered since the moment you agreed outside The Hard Deck."
At the beginning you would have chalked it up to Hangman teasing you once again, trying to get under your skin. But the sincerity in his eyes made you realize that this wasn't act. He wasn't just saying these pretty words to get you to let your guard down so he could strike. He was being real and you wanted to melt into the floor as you now felt like an absolute jerk.
"I'm sorry," you mumbled fighting back the sudden tears stinging your eyes. "I shouldn't have been such a jerk to you."
"It's okay I really gave you a reason to be so defensive but I really want to try."
"It's not you," you sighed body shaking. You were about to continue on when the waitress came back and set the drinks down on the table. You hadn't even gotten to glance at the menu but without missing a beat Hangman ordered sending the waitress back off with the orders.
"Trust me I come here a lot," he grinned. "And you don't have to tell me. The Navy guys pretty much know some guy took advantage of you. We don't know any hard details but just know, we have your back no matter what."
Once again the pilot left you speechless, "Thank you."
He nodded leaning back in the chair he was sitting in. Without a second thought Hangman moved the topic to something else and in a matter of seconds he had you laughing and joyously conversing with him until the food made it to the table. And true to his world it was absolutely delicious and now you wanted to come back as soon as possible.
With full stomachs Hangman lead you back to the truck. The night had settled in fully before he once again held open your door. He didn't shut it immediately this time.
"Can I take you to a movie?"
"Absolutely!"
After the delicious dinner and a fun movie you realized that you didn't want this date to end. You couldn't remember the last time that you had enjoyed yourself so much. And if you could tell that Hangman wasn't ready for you to get out and leave in your car just yet.
"Think we can go take a walk on the beach for just a little while," you asked.
He perked up, eyes shining brightly he nodded.
You held your shoes in one hand and Hangman's hand in the other as the cooling sand shifted between your toes. The crashing waves on the beach sent little salty sprays in the air as little crabs scuttled by.
"I can't remember the last time I had so much fun," you breathed in deeply.
"Getting to fly is pretty fun," Hangman drug the toe of his boot in the sand. "But this is a different type of fun. I wouldn't want to share with anyone but you."
You faked a gag, "Ugh so sappy!"
He laughed," You have no one but yourself to blame. You shouldn't be so pretty."
"Oh puh-lease Hangman," you laughed. "You don't have to just say that."
He cupped your cheeks, hushing you immediately. Hangman stared down at you seriousness and a little bit of anger simmering in his gaze. You swallowed loudly, unsure of what to do in such a situation.
"Stop putting yourself down," you all but snarled. "You're amazing and I wish you could see it."
You never had someone say things like that with such conviction and it had you a little emotional. Hangman pressed his forehead against yours. Taking in your presence as your soft cheeks warmed his palms.
"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you," he whispered. Placing a tender kiss on your forehead, you shivered against the contact of his warm lips against your skin. Hangman leaned backwards taking in your face before pulling you in closer. His breath brushing against your lips. He leaned in closer, claiming your mouth with his. The beach a perfect backdrop as the waves made their crashing applause against the sandy beach that suddenly became your favorite spot. Seconds later Hangman parted from you before holding you tightly.
"Thank you," you melted in his hold.
"Can we do this again soon," he whispered afraid of the answer you'd give him.
"The dating or kissing," you teased.
"Both. Lots of both."
"I'm ready whenever you are flyboy."
Hangman squeezed tighter," So tomorrow?"
You nodded, "Definitely tomorrow."

to hell with the stars, keep shooting for the moon
cw: 3k wc, female reader, established relationship, suggestive if you squint, reader is a gymnast, my entry for the super fun summer olympics collab by @tetzoro! hope you'll enjoy the little surprise i squeezed in hehe
âFor the last time, Iâm not having sex with you on one of those cardboard bedsâ.
Atsumu isnât the least bit discouraged by your exasperated scowl, which is met with a pout.
âBut babe-â
âI donât care how many times Tobioâs done it, âTsumuâ you click your tongue.
âItâs just so fucking bizarre that he gets so much action, the guy doesnât even do anything! Shoyo agrees, we discussed it and still couldnât find a reasonâ the blond, excessively petulant Miya who makes it a point to be the bane of your existence, keeps listing all the reasons why he believes his teammate shouldnât be getting laid in the olympic village. Or anywhere else ever, for the matter.
The heated arguments float through a distant hemisphere of your brain, where they dissolve before you can quite catch their meaning and soon enough become simple sounds youâre passively absorbing, thoughts too preoccupied with something entirely different.
The choreographies you put together with your trainer have been playing in the back of your mind ever since last night, after the all-around individual qualification round. You are part of the 10 gymnasts with the highest scores, four performances with each apparatus earning a fairly decent ranking and good enough points. Well, theyâre certainly good enough, given that you get to represent Japan at the individual final. But you just know they could be better. Your feet shouldâve been firmer, hands less sweaty around the clubs, you shouldâve stretched for at least 50 minutes prior to the routine instead of the usual 40 ones.
Pulse picks up in pace, heart thrumming faster against your ribcage, dizziness clouds your mind for a moment as different moves chase each other in rapid succession: the penché comes first, then follows the elbow stand, front walkover, one forward roll, a chest stand-
Gentle, calloused fingers grasp your chin and tilt your head upwards in silent demand. Look at me.
âGet out of there and talk to me, sugarâ the fondness in his chocolate gaze is a balm that instantly soothes the churning sensation sabotaging your stomach.
âI wonât make itâ itâs blunt, raw in its honesty âIâm too scaredâ.
âYa worked your ass off the past four years. Your entire life actuallyâ.
âI knowâ.
âAnd whatever happens, youâre one of the best ten gymnasts in the worldâ.
âI knowâ.
Atsumu gets closer as his hands hold your face now, gentle but firm, an all too familiar flame starts dancing in feverish eyes.
âBut?â.
You recognize that gaze, the raging, febrile determination taking over. He gets it on his side of the net, where he gets to run the show. And oh, isnât that always a sight for sore eyes? It certainly was at the olympics too, when the entire world got to witness what Japan is already used to. The game against Argentina was nothing short of glorious, the way Atsumu coordinated his teamâs offense, established the entire tempo and overall built the confidence in his passers had the crowds chanting his name over and over again. By the evening, youâre positive at least a hundred new Miya Atsumu fan accounts had started following you on instagram.
And yet he doesnât take any of it for granted. Atsumu always gives his very best, at the olympics or during regular training with his friends. Whether Tobio is going to play or not. That passion simply sets his soul ablaze at all times, with no exception. Heâs the man you love and the only one who can truly understand how you feel, the one person who is ignited with the same delirious resolve currently burning in the pit of your stomach.
âBut I really want that fucking medalâ you whisper. Not to prove him that you have it in you just like he does: truth is youâre the only person who needs additional convincing.
Sharp canines make their appearance when Atsumu smiles widely.
âThen go get it. The hell are you scared of? That medal belongs to youâ.
Your eyelids flutter as they fall shut, a deep breath filling your lungs with fresh air. When you open your eyes again, you feel your heart filling up with something else too.
âI love youâ.
His eyes soften at that, affection pools within crinkles by the eyes as a confident grin morphs into a warm smile.
âLove ya more, championâ Atsumu kisses your forehead with tenderness, lingers for a moment too long with lips pressing to your skin with intention. Then he lets go of your face but not before searching for any remnants of self-doubt. His chest swells with pride when all he can find in your eyes is that determination he adores.
âWill you be there?â you ask because you canât help it. Itâs perfectly understandable that he might not be able to, his schedule is just as busy as yours and Japanâs final game is just two days away. Itâs not entirely fair to ask and someone else mightâve rolled their eyes with a sigh, reminded you that they donât get to decide that. But not Atsumu. He takes one of your hands and brings it to his lips to kiss each knuckle.
âIâll do everything I can to be thereâ.
âThank youâ you lightly pinch his nose with an infatuated smile and he fakes a groan âsee you laterâ.
âI love you!â he shouts as you run away, loud and obnoxious and passionate, just like his affection always is. Once again, Atsumuâs love is thrown over your shoulders like a comforting blanket that weighs just right.
Back at the beginning of your relationship, you had to unlearn a very specific thought process that posed the risk of ending something that still hadnât had the chance to fully start. It was your first time dating another pro athlete, a very talented and quite renowned one no less. You were first introduced to him at a party, he had no idea who you were but of course you were all too familiar with his name and accomplishments.
Miya Atsumu was a pro volleyball player, known for his exceptional flair and fierce passion ever since high school. His reputation made you believe that, as an athlete yourself, you had to prove him that you were just as good in your own sport. Wasnât that all heâd be interested in? Dating someone who wouldnât embarrass him with their mediocrity, someone who wouldnât stain his polished reputation?
Turns out, by no means Atsumu was interested in all that. He asked if it was okay for him to come watch one of your competitions, coincidentally one of your worst ones. You were all too aware of how badly you had competed, nerves and a recent flu contributing to a terrible performance, yet at the end of it Atsumu greeted you with stars in his eyes. He couldnât stop talking about how elegant yet strong you looked, going as far as describing your choreographies as breathtaking. With a nervous chuckle, he half-jokingly said he couldnât believe youâd let him date you.Â
Thatâs when you kissed him for the first time, fiery and feverish in a way that wouldâve probably scared anyone else off. Not Atsumu, though. He wrapped his arms around you without so much as an ounce of hesitation, kissed you back like it was the last action he was allowed to perform on this earth. And you knew: he didnât need you to be a winner, to be shiny at all times, to feel proud. To love you. Whether you end up bringing the medal home or not, he will still be your biggest fan and loudest supporter.
The intensity of the crowd doesnât bother you at all: given your anxious nature, Chisaka-san has been adamant about training you with headphones and loud tapes for years. Music, cheers, booing, clapping, national anthems, youâre used to it all by now.
You observe the ukrainian gymnast, the way she moves so elegantly with her colorful ribbon. It looks like sheâs flying, hopping on invisible steps made of air, sparkly leotard catching the light just right. Yours cost a fortune: handmade, sewn in Italy, a triumph of colorful stretch mesh, thermal crystals and sew-on rhinestones in various sizes and shapes.
As Chisaka-san helps you practice the usual deep breaths with a hand pressed to your chest, your eyes are still glued to your opponent. The podium is yours, unless you fuck up so badly even the bronze slips away. Daryna currently has the highest score and itâs certain she will protect the lead at the end of her final routine. Then follows Bulgariaâs Katerina, but youâre hardly worried about her: she finished her last exercise without catching the ribbon, a penalty you can easily overcome if luck and nerves are on your side.
When after an impeccable Daryna your name is announced at last, your trainer gives your butt a friendly, encouraging pat. She believed in you more than anyone else, more than yourself. She knew youâd qualify for the olympics and would be flying to Paris before you could even dream of such an achievement. And now you get to honor her trust, you get to prove that Paris is where you belong. The podium is yours because like hell youâre allowing it to slip away. But you want more, you want that gold.
The crowd seems louder now, flags raised in flashes of white and red in your peripheral as you smile radiantly and position yourself to start the routine. You donât check if Atsumu was able to make it, donât allow yourself to think of anything but the way your feet and legs and arms and hands are supposed to move.
The longest 85 seconds of your life begin along with the music, Piazzollaâs libertango but with a modern, energetic arrangement. The ribbon is not as scary as the hoop, it moves with you like an old friend, seamless and reliable. You throw the handle into the air and perform two forward rolls before catching it again in one fluid motion, lips perpetually stretched into a confident smile. The crowd erupts in deafening cheers at your backscale pivot, the more you keep cutting through the air with precision, control and passion, the more your smile grows. Yes, this is where you belong, this is what you love and were made to do.
Thereâs your signature move, difficult and risky and one Chisaka-san always attempts to talk you out of: a technical element, Bessonovaâs swan, while simultaneously kicking the ribbon into the air with your foot once more. You catch it one last time, perform an aerial cartwheel and then a perfectly balanced backward somersault, wrap yourself in the colorful shades of your apparatus and gracefully conclude the routine on the floor.
The crowd is ear-splitting in their support and you donât have to wait for the score to know: it was perfect. Itâs the best you ever did and the tension finally melts into hot tears as you wave and smile and foolishly attempt to wipe the wetness from your cheeks at the same time. Chisaka-san wraps you up in her comforting embrace and you hide your face in her white uniform, ears ringing, blood scorching in veins throbbing with adrenaline.
âI canât lookâ you whisper into her shoulder and she gently guides you to the bench, all emotional murmurs and soft touches. She sits next to you, holds your hand as you force a quivering smile to the camera, peace sign held high. And then you can barely catch a glimpse of your scores before Chisaka-san forces you into her arms and against her chest again, right as fresh tears stain your cheeks. She lets you have this moment, shields your first reaction from the world and the prying eyes of cameras that are on you once more because holy shit, Daryna has a 140.60 but you have a 142.850. They gave you a difficulty score of 19.300 and an execution one of 8.550.
âI knew it!â Chisaka-san is the only thing keeping you grounded because it truly feels as if youâre floating. It doesnât matter how badly you wanted it, how much you fought for it, the moment doesnât feel real. Not even as the other gymnasts come to hug you and you congratulate them in turn, itâs a whirlwind of all-encompassing love and support and mutual happiness. Moments like this make your sport truly special, they remind you that fierce competition only feels right when balanced by appreciation for your opponentsâ efforts and individual journeys.
The crowd erupts in new, loud cheering and you catch a glimpse of the different face the cameras are now focusing on. A handsome face with suspicious dampness glistening on cheeks and a smile so warm, beaming with pride. You canât help but smile back as your legs move on autopilot, a bottle of water dropped to the floor as you sprint towards the bleachers. Atsumu is in the front row and he easily catches you right as you jump onto him, arms wrapped around his neck.
âTold ya. It belongs to youâ he whispers in your ear and you almost start crying again at the trembling in his voice, so many overwhelming emotions swarming in your chest at once.
âThank you for believing in meâ you mutter and pull back to look at him, because even in a venue packed with people and cameras and journalists he still manages to be the brightest, the one thing you could look at forever without ever growing tired of it.
âAlwaysâ Atsumu grins, eyes glazed with defiant tears âyou did so well. Look at ya, my girlâs an olympic medalist!â.
And because you know he wonât do it, god forbid he takes the most special moment of your life away from you, you kiss him. Itâs brief, two pecks that linger just enough before he lets you go, urges you to go back out there and celebrate. You donât care that videos of this moment are probably going to be flooding every social media platform in a matter of minutes, similarly to how Atsumu hardly gives a damn about all the phones and cameras he has in his face when he runs to you after a game, whether his team wins or not.
Itâs hard not to tear up again as the japanese national anthem echoes through the building, so many people singing along as you stand on the podium you have dreamed of every single day of your life. You smile, proud and big, take selfies with the other two medalists and make sure you hug every single gymnast you come across goodbye before walking out of the venue, a promise to catch up with your trainer in the evening.
Atsumu waits for you outside, he doesnât have any additional training left for the day and you want nothing more than to walk back to the village with him, lovesick smile growing in size when you spot him underneath the afternoon sun, golden light caught beautifully in that honey blond hair.
âThere she comes, the girl of my dreamsâ he coos and you roll your eyes with affection âI hear sheâs now the greatest gymnast in the world, too!â.
âCornyâ you murmur against his lips as he pulls you in for a real kiss, one of those youâre never willing to give him in front of the cameras.
âAbout those cardboard bedsâŠâ itâs a faint whisper into his mouth but itâs enough for Atsumu to pick you up and twirl until youâre both laughing between kisses, until someone clearing their throat prompts you to abruptly pull back and force your feet onto the ground again.
When you turn around, the embarrassed smile quickly grows into a surprised grin. The stranger is looking back at you with the faintest hint of a smirk and Atsumu isnât entirely sure he loves the way you take a tentative step toward him.
âCongrats. It was a good routine, not your best thoughâ.
âOh my godâ you chuckle, astonished, and Atsumu is now certain he doesnât enjoy watching you run to hug this weird, 6â1 stranger with dark hair and teal eyes. He definitely doesnât enjoy the way the stranger wraps his arms around you with a sigh.
âI shouldâve known youâd be here! How long has it been? Look at you, all grown up!â you let him go, still smiling so hard your cheeks hurt.
âToo longâ he concedes and if the stranger wasnât still all caught up in old, familiar patterns of stubborn coldness, maybe he would be able to utter the truth about how much heâs missed one of his oldest friends.
âI missed youâ as usual, you take it upon yourself to fill the spaces left empty by his obstinacy with warmth. His eyes soften and you smile again as you turn to look at your boyfriend.
ââTsumu, câmere!â youâre holding out a hand, an impatient invitation âcome meet Rin!â
Atsumu is openly wary of your friend, one youâre obviously close enough to address by his first name. As he shakes his hand with a fake megawatt smile, Rin seems to be equally skeptical and does nothing to hide it.
âHeâs your boyfriend?â he asks, briefly scanning Atsumu from head to toe with an openly dubious gaze âcame all the way here just to support you?â
âAtsumu is a pro volleyball player, heâs in the national team just like you!â
âVolleyball, huh?â Rin cocks his head âdoesnât really interest me. I find it to be overratedâ.
âI meanâŠâ.
âAnd what would your sport be, Itoshi?â Atsumu can feel a vein throb on his forehead as he politely interrupts you.
âSoccerâ.
âOh!â a seemingly friendly laugh bubbles up from his throat but you recognize the petulant vibration to it âsoccer! I think thereâs only so long you can watch a player throw himself on the ground because he stubbed his toe on the grass or, I donât know, try the same failed corner kick for the millionth timeâ.
You uncomfortably clear your throat and Rin directs his attention to you once more. Isnât that what being a mature adult is all about? Ignoring pretentious assholes he doesnât even know?
âI mean it, by the way. You deserve that gold more than anyone else I knowâ.
âCâmon, say itâ you chuckle âI know you noticedâ.
He mirrors your smile, pleased that the familiarity strengthened by years of friendship is still here.
âBarely catched that ribbon in the end, couldâve made that front walkover less stiff. Good job overall, thoughâ.
Atsumu wants to punch him in the goddamn face, especially as you laugh once more.
âHow come heâs so familiar with gymnastics?â he asks instead.
âRin used to come watch my training sessions back in high school, although itâs insane to me that he still remembers!â.
âShe never missed any of my trainings eitherâ Rin smirks once more, gaze locked to the man in front of him.
âSpeaking of!â you lightly smack his arm âwhen are you guys playing?â.
âTomorrow. I can arrange special seats if you wantâ.
âOh, Iâd love to come! We should totally go, âTsumu!â.
âYeah, totallyâ Atsumu forces another smile onto his lips.
That night, as youâre cuddled against his chest on that infuriatingly uncomfortable cardboard bed, he believes itâs of the utmost importance to share the picture of you with an adorable smile and the medal around your neck as you stand proudly on that podium, followed by the two of you kissing right after your win.
miyatsumu the most hardworking person I know. my golden girl, now an olympic champion â€ïžđ„
He thinks itâs a good caption and, as you softly snore in the quiet of the dark room, Atsumu also believes heâs in a mood good enough to decide not to block Shoyo on the spot after receiving his stupidly enthusiastic text about befriending some super nice dude on the national soccer team.
Whoever the hell Isagi Yoichi is anyway.

okayokay but reader who teaches inexperienced mavuika to be better at pleasing them omg
anon u get my vision. u GET me like [nsft utc]
poor mavu whoâs a little rusty at this whole thing having been incoporeal for the last 500 years. her expression is carefully schooled confidence but you can see the way her throat bobs as she settles between your legs, hands almost shy as she rests them on your parted thighs. her lips are ever so slightly parted, part awe part desire, as her eyes zero in on the folds of your cunt. her fascination draws a breathy giggle from you, and you wind your own hand in her sun-warmed hair.
âgo on, baby,â you coo at her, lightly tugging, an encouraging pressure. mavuika swallows again, then leans forward to press a wet kiss to your mound. you breathe a soft sigh of pleasure, the wamrth of her breath on you sending little shivers up and down your spine. mavuika takes your reaction in stride, mouthing more at your dripping sex, two fingers sliding up to part your labia and then sheâs licking a long stripe up from your entrance to the stiff bud of your clit.
you mewl at that, tightening your grip on her hair, and you swear your hear mavuika moan. âgood girl,â you manage, keeping your eyes trained on her as she bobs her head with the movement of her tongue, and you see her entire body shiver at the praise. her expression is pinched into one of desperation as she laps at you, and it makes you want to praise her more. but you hold back for now; saying it too often makes it lose its strength, after all.
âmavu,â you call to her sweetly, and she opens her eyes to look up at you obediently. the hand in her hair travels lower to stroke her cheek, and you smile as she leans into the touch. âsuck my clit, baby, please?â
mavuika groans at your wordsâyouâre polite, yes, but itâs only cursory. she knows a command when she hears one. with a little hesitance she takes her tongue away from teasing your entrance to travel a little higher, over to the bud of your clit. her eyes flick up, little suns, as her lips seal around it and she gives a small, tentative suck. you were expecting it, but the bolt of pleasure shooting through you still has your back arching and your head being thrown back against the pillows.
âmmghâ good girl, mavuika,â you pant, seeing stars behind your eyelids. âgood girl, just like thatâ use your fingers, baby, please? put those pretty fingers in my cunt.â
mavuika whines at that, scrambling to rearrange herself in a way thatâd give her the best angle to slip two of her long fingers into your tight, wet heat. through it all she keeps her lips wrapped around your clit, refusing to leave it for even a second. you groan when you feel the pads of her fingers prod against your entrance, only to taper off into a moan when they push in, stretching your aching walls. mavuika breathes your name like a prayer at the sound of your pussy drawing in her digits, the wet squelch only rivalled by the smacking sounds of her sucking and kissing at your clit.
mavuika learns you like a skill. relentlessly, intently, thoroughly. when she finds those spots that have you keening and writhing she targets them over and over, stoking those embers in your gut into a raging fire. she's burning hot to the touch, a firestarter, and for all the obedience you demand from her you're nothing but kindling in her hands. you tip over the edge like a lone spark to ignition, only distantly aware of the curl of her fingers or the lash of her tongue as you lose yourself in the pleasure, the world reducing down to the woman between your legs.
the flame of your orgasm eventually peters out into low, slow-burning embers, and you can't help the twitch of your hips when mavuika withdraws her fingers. her eyes are blown wide when she sits up, lips and chin glossy with slick. her hair, once sunset read, has almost turned noon-bright, and you manage a weak chuckle at the sight of her obvious arousal. you reach out a trembling hand, encouraging her to come closer, and she crawls over your spent body into your touch. your thumb brushes over her lips, wet with your slick and come, and they part with a thready moan when you call her a good girl and that she did such a good job.
you push your thumb against her lips and she opens her mouth, letting you rest it gently on her tongue. "pretty girl," you rasp idly, a thought spoken aloud, and mavuika makes a low noise in response. it's only then do you notice the drag of her hips along your abdomen, and you remember that your pretty girl has yet to come herself. you slip your finger from her mouth and drift your hand to cup her nape, pulling her in close to whisper your next orders against her lips, and to relish the way her entire body shudders in response.
"let me teach you a different way to ride next, baby."
suffice to say, for the next day or so, natlan's archon was not seen astride her beloved flamestrider.

âł Warnings; Mentions of injuries, Cursing, Kissing, Marijuana Use, Vaginal Sex, Dirty Talk, Squirting, Fem Reader
âł Or: You just want to spend one more easy night with Dabi before the entirety of Japan goes to hell.
Note; this is a completely re-edited, revised, reworked version of my previous Dabi/Reader â I deleted the previous one.
⥠Touya / Fem Reader
Itâs almost funny, you think, as you lean against the wall of the Leagues newest hideout. The reason you were convinced to join the A team in the first placeâto go a long with Shigarakiâs convoluted plans.
It wasnât Stain. Hell, it wasnât even Shigaraki himself. It sure as fuck wasnât All for One.
No, it was the scarred, absolutely deranged, blue eyed psycho that has daddy issues. The man who creates flames that burn over 2500 degrees celsius at their hottest, higher than Endeavors. The bastard.
To be fair, you didnât know he had daddy issues when you saw him on TV for the first time. Yet, you saw the emotion in his eyes. Rage.
It flared, crackling brightlyâhotter than the flames he produces himself.
It forced something to melt and seep into your bones, making your skin feel too tight, itchy, in an all too familiar way. You recognized another emotion on his face, one you were well acquainted with. Revenge.
You stopped at nothing to seek him out after that. Inevitably, you found him.
Now here you are, watching Dabi make, what equates to, a self-introduction video.âšâšYouâve heard the story from him multiple times, youâve seen him make the video over and over again. Heâs shared his past and youâve shared yours. You know people say Dabi may not feel much, hell even he says that. They say heâs heartless, cold, insane.
Andâhe is, but heâs also much more than that to you.
Heâs kind to you, in his own twisted way, but he loves you, as much as heâs able to.
Which compared to ânormal peopleâ is actually quite a lot. Some would place him on the level of obsessed, unhealthy.
Although, who are you to judge? You act the exact same way towards him. Both of you would incinerate the world for each other, literally.
You also know he wants this video to be his own version of Dantes Inferno, about his journey navigating through hell since he was a kid.
Youâve had many conversations with Dabi about how much of a toll this takes on him. As if heâs weighted down by concrete tied to his ankles. Usually he gets so worked up that smoke ends up seeping through the seams of his staples by the end of it.
Nevertheless, heâs releasing the video tomorrowâwhether itâs time for Shiagaraki to wake the hell up or not. No matter what, itâs going to rock the hero society. Itâll crumble the facade they have worked so hard to maintain. Youâre lucky enough to know who he really is, the rest of the league, and the world, doesnât. Yet.
Youâre here for support, to make sure he actually gets the video fucking done, before youâre heading off for the day. Doing some sort of asinine errand for the Doc to help keep Shigarakiâs ass alive while he soaks in that vat.
You already decided that later tonight, youâre going make sure Dabi remembers heâs got you to come home too. No matter what happens after the world sees behind the veil.
After some time, youâre still leaning against the wall on the side of the room. Letting little flames ignite from your fingertips, just playing around, having one flame dance from finger to finger.
Itâs another thing that had attracted you to Dabi. Even though flame quirks are a dime a dozen, and his flames burn hotter, it made you feel like you were similar, in a way.
Noticing that heâs stopped talking you look up, putting out the flame with a wave of your hand. You watch him walk to the camera to turn it off.
He was shirtless for the video. It shows off how lean he is, but it also shows all the burn scars that cross his chest and torso, up his neck and under his eyes. His hair is white right now and the staples holding him together shine under the light from overhead.
For a beat you remember how cool they feel pressing against your skin when Dabi pins you face down on the bed.
Your body flushes, warmth churning in your belly.
Being in love with a man like Dabi means he takes up most of the space in your brain, running wildly through your thoughts constantly.
To add on itâs not just Dabi you love, itâs Touya too.
Youâre desperately aware of the fact that youâre not doing a very decent job of hiding the way your eyes trail his body when he speaks up. His smooth, smoky voice rumbling from his chest.
âYou know, itâs rude to stare baby,â Dabi murmurs, inclining his head slightly to look at you. His gaze is sharp but his lips are pulled into a lazy catlike grin.
Embarrassment shoots through you, burrowing into your cheeks. A swarm of butterflies ravages you.
Using your hands, you set them behind you and you push off the wall, trying to form a response. Nobody else but Dabi makes you act like youâve swallowed your tongue whole.
âMaybe I just like what I see,â you tease, trying to ignore the obvious flush of your chest and neck. Dabi turns to face you as you walk up to him.
You canât get over the way he looms over you, forcing you to crane your neck to look up at him. The grin never leaves his face. He tugs playfully at a lock of hair that had fallen from your bun, making it seem as if youâve swallowed cotton balls.
âOh? Youâre one to talk. I could fuck you where you stand and youâd let me,â he flirts, looking oh so casual the whole time.
Dabi twirls the same strand of hair around his finger tightly, before letting it go.
The man radiates fucking heat and itâs a bit like standing too close to a bonfire. It toes the line of too hot, as if your skin would start to melt if you got too close.
Your eyes flutter shut from the familiar warmth, and you taking a deep, steadying breath â willing away the lust that threatens to turn your insides to ash.
You desperately try to remember that now is not the time to let Dabi fuck you silly.
You reluctantly take a step back, only now realizing how close the two of you had gotten. Later, you remind yourself, trying to cool down.
Dabi pushes out his lower lip, pretending to pout.
âDabi, câmon, you know Iâve got to go soon. I just wanted to make sure you got this finished today,â you say with hesitation.
Dabi rolls his eyes, no doubt irritated they have you doing bullshit errands. You get it, you feel the same, but you know itâs just less of a hassle to get it done.
Itâs not like you donât want Shigaraki to wake up soon. The crazy, itchy fucker has grown on you.
Besides, you want to get the plan moving and all. Dabi knows this, yet it still pisses him off. He waves a hand dismissively, before turning back to the camera.
âWhatever, go on then,â he bites coldly. Your lips press into a line, the sting of hurt pulsing in your chest briefly.
You shove your hands in your pockets and turn to leave without saying much else. Youâre not willing to get into it with him right now, the video has clearly already got him riled up.
Before you can take a step, a blistering palm grabs your forearm, turning you back around. You raise an eyebrow as you meet his intense gaze.
âYes?â you bite back. Dabi stares down at you, hand trailing down to grip your wrist, wrapping his fingers around as a bracelet. His expression stays sharp, blue eyes piercing.
âJust come back to me tonight, okay?â Dabi demands, an underlying note of concern lacing his tone.
You canât hold back the smile that pulls at your lips, previous hurt washed away by your adoration for the deranged man in front of you. You nod.
âI will Touya,â you whisper softly.
You tend not to use his real name often, only when you need him to know youâre serious.
It makes his eye twitch, his stomach more often than not twisting in fury when he hears it.
Not with you though. The way his name falls from your lipsâheâd be remiss if he didnât admit it soothes the open wound itâs left behind.
Without another word, Dabi bends down, brushing a kiss over your cheek, letting your wrist go. Your skin tingles where his lips were, the rough texture of his lower one always tickles. You smile softly.
Swiftly you press a kiss to the corner of his mouth in return.
âLove you too, dickhead!â You call out playfully, letting the door swing shut behind you. Dabi scoffs watching you go, but he wears, a small, loving smile at your jab.
He already wishes for the night. As long as can be with you again.
Youâre covered in soot and ashes. Smelling like a fucking bonfire gone wrong. The flesh of your hands is singed, stinging, and you curse internally when you curl them into fists.
Generally, it happens when you overuse your quirk. The skin sizzles, steam rising from the reddened flesh. You shake your hands out as you walk, thanking God that it looks worse than it is. Itâll heal relatively quickly.
Youâve managed to procure only a couple bruises though, so you count yourself even luckier. You know Dabi will be fucking pissed either way.
You always have to talk him down from eviscerating the Doc when you wind up coming home banged up from one of his errands.
To top it off, itâs way later than when you normally return from these idiotic missions. Itâs well past midnight and youâre sure Dabi is close to committing arson.
The job was a waste of your time. Granted, you admit you may have been a little distracted. You couldnât stop thinking about the night that lay ahead of you and Dabi.
Itâs hard to burn down that many buildings, discreetly, when youâre not focused 100%. You almost got caught at the last building.
Hence the new dark purple splotches covering your left bicep. They throb slightly when you accidentally brush your fingers over them. Itâs a miracle you made it out, but youâre not telling Dabi that.
Walking into the front door of the, more or less mansion that is the hideout, you notice itâs quiet in the living room.
None of the usuals that hang out are down here. You look around quickly, thinking maybe youâd catch a glance of Dabi. You scowl when you donât see his spiky white hair anywhere. You swiped something on the way home, an item that will help the two of you relax. It sits heavy in your back pocket.
You desperately want the two of you to enjoy the night before the world explodes into chaos tomorrow.
You slip your hand into your pocket, just to make sure itâs still there. Your finger tips trace the pre-rolled joints you snagged. You smile coyly to yourself, feeling your heart beat harshly against your rib cage.
A pleasant shiver rolls down your spine as you recall the last time you and Dabi had sex higher than a kite.
Smoking weed isnât necessarily something you and Dabi do often, but when you get the chance you certainly take advantage of it.
How could you say no? Your body feels relaxed and warm, like your joints are made of butter. The pleasure is always dialed to a 10.
You know Dabi fucking loves it, the one chance he gets to truly relax. You make your way to the stairs as you chew on your bottom lip, mulling over your thoughts.
Youâre hoping that once Dabi sees youâre okay, and that you have joints, he wonât be too tempted to set the mansion on fire.
You walk swiftly to your room. You pass by Mr. Compress on the way, the two of you wave in greeting. The sound of your combat boots echo on the wooden floor as you round the corner, stopping at your door.
The door is closed but thatâs not unusual. Eagerly, you turn the handle and push open the door. Itâs pitch black inside. ThatâŠis odd actually. Your grin quickly fades as you step inside, curious, you flip on the low light to the room.
Dabiâs not here. You feel an unwarranted flash of irritation at the realization.
As cliche as it sounds, recently youâve been finding him playing some sort of game on his desk top computer. Youâre not sure heâs ever played one before now and he seems to thoroughly enjoy it. Your chest warms as you think about him getting to experience some sort of normalcy.
However, heâs not at the desk. Heâs not anywhere in your room. You shut the door behind you and walk in further. Shoving the feeling of annoyance down your throat, you remind yourself that the villain has got to be somewhere around the hideout.
Hoping heâll pop up soon you decide itâs best to take a shower. To wash off the layer of disgusting ash youâre covered in.
Setting the joints on your dresser, you strip your nasty clothes off and throw them to the side. You grab one of Dabiâs shirts, one with a skull on it and nothing else before making your way into the en-suite bathroom.
As you stand under the spray of the scalding water, it feels unbelievable. The water acting as a much needed massage for your sore muscles.
You scrub yourself clean, hissing as the soap causes a burning sensation in your hands. You examine the newly pink, sensitive skin of your palms and flex your sore fingers.
The curtain suddenly rips open halfway and you scream loudly, arms flailing wildly. Your head whips to the side, heart in your throat as you see a smug looking Dabi. You place a hand on your chest, pulse thundering.
âYou fucking jack ass! You scared the shit out of me! Where the hell have you been?â you shout, angrily flinging water at his face.
Dabi laughs as he brings his hand up in surrender, covering his face from your retaliation. You let out a frustrated noise, quickly turning the water off to face him. You push roughly at his chest, wetting his shirt and he grips the shower curtain with one hand for balance. Heâs still fucking laughing.
âI got restless waiting for you. I was with Spinner, who wouldnât stop yapping about some new video game. I saw Compress and he told me he saw you on your way up. I wanted to fuck with you.â He grins wolfishly, pretending to wipe a fake tear of amusement from his eye. The staples near the corner of his mouth tug at his skin.
You scowl, glaring at him playfully.
âYouâre the biggest dick Iâve ever had the misfortune of meeting, ya know that?â you chastise him, unable to stop yourself from grinning widely at his relaxed demeanor.
Truthfully, you know nobody else sees this playful side of Dabi. The fact that youâre privy to it, itâs like knowing the worldâs greatest secret. You want to put it in a box and keep it safe forever.
âIs that right? And yet, youâre the one who continues to stay with me, princess. Iâve just got you that cock drunk for me, donât I sweetheart?â You blush violently at his teasing, but thereâs absolutely no denying it.
Dabi smirks, taking the chance to let his gaze lazily trail up and down your wet, naked body. Slowly appreciating your form, and biting the tip of his tongue.
You wiggle your eyebrows playfully, popping your hip out, placing your hand there. It pulls an amused laugh from him and he winks at you. The sound of it sets your nerves alight.
Suddenly, you feel Dabi go stock still. The air raises a few degrees as his expression distorts into something feral, his happy mood vanishing.
Your stomach knots up and you shift your weight from foot to foot. You know heâs found the new, rather large, bruises peppering your left bicep. Delicately, he trails his fingers over them with his free hand. You wince.
The sickening scent of burning plastic starts to flood your nose. You glance over, panicking slightly when you see Dabiâs melting the shower curtain in a death grip.
âTouya!â You gasp. âIâm okay, really, Iâm fine. Please, look at me baby,â you soothe, gripping his wrist to try and yank him free, but he doesnât loosen his hold. You place your free hand on his cheek, forcing his manic gaze to meet yours. âIt was my fault, I wasnât paying attention,â you continue in a gentle voice, running your thumb over the scarred flesh under his left eye.
His snowy white eyebrows pinch together, and he lets out a pained sound, hesitantly letting go of the curtain. You swiftly take the opportunity to lace your fingers with his.
You take a peak at the curtain again, noticing a hand print has been permanently melted into it. Touya tugs on your hand harshly, asking for your attention.
He stares intensely at your face, pupils tracking back and forth rapidly, looking wild. When he speaks, itâs as if heâd swallowed a handful of gravel.
âThose goddamn idiots!â He snarls. âSending you out, letting you get fucked up. If I fucking see that Doc again before Shigaraki wakes up, Iâm incinerating him,â he manages to get out through clenched teeth. Heâs furious, tone low and menacing.
It definitely does not turn you on.
Touya tangles his fingers through the wet hair at the nape of your neck, squeezing painfully. Your breath catches, scalp tingling.
A torrent of warmth rushes through you, pussy clenching eagerly around air.
It never fails to turn your brain to mush when heâs like this. Protective, possessive. It makes syrupy heat drip down your spine.
You shiver, not just from the chill of being naked, when you realize youâre still dripping wet. Unfortunately, you need a towel.
âI know Touya,â You laugh shakily , wanting to redirect his anger. â I wonât stop you, promise. Letâs not allow those dumbasses to ruin our night, okay?â You squeeze his hand reassuringly. âI brought a surprise for us to share! So can you be a good boyfriend and please hand me a towel?â You plead, looking at him through your lashes.
Touya doesnât move for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly as considers your words, before his expression mellows out. He sighs heavily.
Touya releases his grip on your hair, trailing his rough fingers over your jaw and patting your cheek twice softly. He frees your other hand and turns to grab a towel from the cabinet.
You lift up your arms, very relieved, and wiggle your fingers happily as you wait. Touya sweetly wraps the cloth around your back and crosses it over your chest, tucking it into itself so it stays in place. You beam at him, letting your arms fall to hold it in place.
âFine. Youâve convinced me not to commit murder tonight. Show me the surprise,â Touya concedes, catlike grin settling into his expression once again. You breathe another sigh of relief, stepping out of the shower. You balance with a hand on his arm.
âI got us joints! I figured some good weed would help us relax and,â you trail your finger over his jaw, biting your lip coyly. You lean in, whispering sensually to him. âI was hoping we could have some fun later, if you know what I mean.â
Standing up straight, you smile smugly, wrapping the towel tighter around yourself, watching his reaction. His head tilts back in delighted laughter.
âThatâs the best idea you couldâve had. Letâs go get high out of our minds baby, and then Iâll fuck you into the mattress,â he purrs, grabbing the shirt you left to change into and tugging you along out of the bathroom.
You watch his lean frame from behind, admiring him as he walks. Your man is stupid hot, and you donât just mean literally.
Once youâre near the bed the two of you release each other. He hands you your shirt and you let your towel unwind, tossing it to the side.
Touyaâs hand comes out of nowhere to roughly smack your bare ass. The pain flares, making you yelp.
âTouya!â You scold. âFuck off for a second will you?â you joke. âLet me at least put my shirt on.â You slip the clothing over your head as you speak, gathering your wet hair into a braid.
Touya snorts. You look at him with a raised brow as heâs taking his own clothes off. Your eyes linger for a moment on the V shape that disappears into his underwear. He winks at you in return when he catches your stare, but you just roll your eyes.
âWhy are you even putting clothes on? You know Iâm just going to get you naked later,â Touya complains as he crawls onto your shared bed. He leans his back against the headboard. Touya looks at you expectantly, patting the spot next to him as he shoves his long, pale legs under the blanket.
âYes I know, but I still get cold sometimes, plus I like this shirt, itâs soft,â you reply, picking up the joints from your dresser, turning the overhead light off, and shimmying up the bed to him.
You make it a point to sit so your thigh and arm are squished against his as you recline next him. You use a pillow to support your lower back.
âYou know I can keep you just as warm baby,â Touya coos, pulling up the soft fuzzy blanket that covers your bed so you can get your own legs underneath. He lets it rest at your waist.
Touya gently warms the space beneath and you swallow a moan. It feels amazing. Turning your head to look at him, you smile lazily. He wiggles his eyebrows as you hold up a joint to him, urging him to light it.
âI know, and later on youâre gonna make me sweat,â you tease, watching as he smirks.
He doesnât even pay attention as he uses his finger to light the joint. A little blue flame that instantly eats the paper, setting it alight.
You kiss his cheek in thanks, selfishly taking the first drag. Fuck, it tastes like heaven. A twisted version of lemon flavor bursts across your tongue. Itâs sweet, but also bitter.
You let the smoke swirl in your lungs while you hold your breath. Letting it out in a long exhale, the smoke ghosts across Touyaâs face. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, groaning as he breathes out.
After a joint and a half in, youâre feeling the perfect level of high. Youâre leaning your head on Touyaâs shoulder, studying your fingertips.
Youâre something akin to the warm butter that melts on top of pancakes. Your head feels fuzzy and you know Touya is in the clouds.
âBaby,â Touya softly calls for you, smooth like whiskey. His honeyed voice sends a shiver down your spine. Your head feels heavy when you lift it, looking at him with a dopey grin.
âHmm?â you try to ask. Managing to giggle in response. He tilts his head down towards you. Heâs wearing a matching lazy grin, his eyes half-lidded.
âLet me shot gun that pretty mouth,â he murmurs, taking the last large inhale from the joint. He holds his breath and puts out the joint on his palm, laying the roach on the bedside table.
You nod happily, stomach unbearably warm as you lean towards him. You let your mouth fall open obediently.
Touya looks sly, meeting you halfway. His different textured lips pressing to yours easily, slightly opened as he slowly pushes the smoke out of his lungs and into your mouth.
Your eyes flutter closed as the tendrils of smoke roll into your mouth. It makes you feel a bit feverish and everything feels like itâs rolling in slow motion.
You inhale equally as slow, taking your time, pulling it into your lungs. It makes you feel dizzy. You hold it for a moment, until your chest starts to burn and then you break from the kiss.
Turning your head minutely, you let it all out in one breath. Your tongue slips out to lick your lower lip, the aftertaste from the joint making your mouth water.
You slide your gaze to Touyaâs. He brings his hand up, letting his fingers rest on your jaw as he runs a thumb over the lip you just licked. His eyes burn with a low heat, like embers.
âFeeling high princess?â he whispers, leaning a bit closer, lips only a couple centimeters from yours. Heâs gentle, holding your jaw, fingers pressing in on both sides now.
Your eyes are lidded and it feels like his rich voice physically melts through your skin, into your veins. You admire how pretty his face is, feeling your pussy throb. You bite your lip and nod, tickling a hand over his collarbone. He shivers.
âSo high,â you giggle and whisper your next sentence, as if youâre telling him a secret. âWill you fuck me now Touya?â
Touyaâs fingers twitch before they slide down to wrap around your throat, squeezing lightly. The staples on his wrist scratch at your neck. Heâs studying your face, letting his lips pull into a wicked grin as he inches forward, brushing his mouth against yours.
âWith pleasure baby girl,â he rumbles, pressing the words into your lips. You moan into his mouth, kissing him slowly over and over.
Youâre just starting to lick into his mouth when he puts pressure on your windpipe and you get the message, breaking the kiss with a whine.
He laughs softly as he releases your neck and you shift until youâre lying down flat on the bed, head resting on the pillow.
The change in position makes the room spin and you blink your eyes slowly. Youâve planted your feet on the bed, letting your legs fall open. Moving around makes your shirt rise up to your hips, slick pussy on display for Touya.
Youâre vaguely aware of how wet you already are, and itâs too hot in the room, your face heats again and sweat trails down your temple.
The only light in the room is from the TV you had turned on absently. Yet, you can still see Touyaâs chest. He has his own light sheen of sweat covering his skin, nipples stiff and perky.
The white haired man maneuvers to get in between your thighs. He sits back on his calves, palms resting on the tops of your knees as he takes a look at your soft pussy.
The sight makes his cock ache, straining to be free from his briefs. He feels his tip positively leaking, sticking to the soft material.
âCâmere Touya,â you whine softly, reaching your arms out for him. His expression is relaxed, loving as he bends to your will, resting his forearms on either side of your head.
You wind your arms around his neck, pulling him down into another kiss. Your lips slide together eagerly, the heat between you blazing.
His bottom lip is rough but the texture makes you moan every time. He easily slips his tongue inside your mouth, rolling them together, and you bite the delicate muscle briefly.
A husky moan pushes past his lips, causing him to break the kiss.
âGoddammit baby, I wanna fuck you so bad,â he groans, voice wrecked as he sucks dark marks in a line up your neck, gripping the hem of your shirt.
âPlease,â you beg, the word sticking to the roof of your mouth. Touya doesnât hesitate, sitting back momentarily to free you of your shirt, throwing it somewhere behind him.
The air brings a slight chill, making your nipples harden. Goosebumps erupt along your chest and you whine. Touya rests his hands on your soft belly, dick jumping, drooling as he takes in your naked body. His large, warm palms cover most of the skin there, fingers splayed on your ribs.
His eyes are red and glossy as they trail over your tits, noticing your nipples are pretty little pebbles. God, heâs so hard he could cut diamonds.
He quickly shoves his underwear off, the urge to be naked swallowing him whole. His cock bobs free as it catches on the waistband of his briefs. You watch, catching sight of the curly white hair resting just above the base.
He settles again between your legs, gripping his shaft and squeezing briefly for some relief. His own touch feels electric and he moans through his teeth. He knows youâll feel a thousand times better than his hand.
Heâs quick to swipe his thumb between your pussy lips, parting them as he drags it up to your clit, starting to massage slow circles there.
You choke on an inhale, head feeling heavy. Your limbs feel like jello, warmth flowing through you. You hum, reaching out to wrap a hand around the silky smooth skin of his shaft. He lets out a broken moan when you pump his cock, letting his foreskin pull back.
âTouya, câmon, pretty please? Donât wanna wait,â you say with breathy sigh. You keep stroking his cock, twisting your wrist upwards and he groans again, sounding breathless.
âYou donât have to ask me twice baby, you know how much I love fucking you,â he purrs, looking exactly like the Cheshire Cat.
He places a hand on each of your inner thighs, spreading you open a little more. You tilt your hips up a little, so you can guide his thick cock inside of you. You tease yourself, sliding his tip over your swollen clit. You let out a low curse as it sends electricity up your spine.
A short whine slips through Touyaâs lips as the head of his cock presses in smoothly. Removing your hand, you give him the reigns to do the rest as he stretches your pussy completely. You tilt your head back on the pillow as you start clenching around him.
âOh,â you say as if youâve been sucker punched. âTouya, you feel so good!â you cry out, thoughts disjointed. You tremble at the overwhelming pleasure, white knuckling the pillow under you.
Youâre sure you could cum just from the stretch of his cock alone, your sensitivity at an all time high. You chance a look at your boyfriend, panting.
His eyebrows are scrunched and heâs gritting his teeth, eyes locked on where heâs disappeared inside you. Warm pussy wrapped around him perfectly.
âShit,â he curses lowly. âYouâre so fucking tight,â he laughs incredulously rocking his hips shallowly.
His own mind is fuzzy, body high so intense he could sob. You lay there and take it beautifully as he starts to fuck you for real, slow and deep.
Your limbs are like lead, and youâve all but become one with the mattress, the pleasure all you can focus on. The sound of your skin smacking together makes your ears burn. Youâre watching the way his fingers grip your thighs, the way the muscles in his lower abdomen flex with every thrust.
âYouâre so fucking hot Touya, God - I canât,â you all but sob. You canât focus on anything else but the way his cock drags in and out of your pussy. Touya hums softly and leans forward, bracing his hands on the bed, caging you between. You look up at him through your lashes.
âWhat do you want baby? Hmm? Tell me,â he pants, voice smoldering. Your entire body flushes even hotter. Quirk raising up just below your skin and you keep your hands from the sheets for fear of turning them to ash.
Letting out a low moan, you grip his forearms, he can take the heat of your quirk. He sucks in a breath through his teeth when your scalding palms make contact with his skin.
Youâre able to keep it under control for now. You take note of the way your tits bounce with each of his thrusts. He watches them, eyes almost unfocused, unfazed by the blistering heat of your palms, before his gaze locks with yours when you start to speak.
âWant you to fuck me from behind, please,â you mumble, words blending together as you try to keep your eyes open. The pleasure is making your brain feel thick.
âFuck yes, turn that pretty ass around,â he agrees, leaning back and pulling his cock free. It bounces slightly and you notice heâs glistening from your slick, notching your arousal up by a few degrees.
You donât waste a second, rolling over onto your belly. The sensation of moving underwater is what you would compare it to.
You raise up on your knees, showing off the curve of your spine as you rest your cheek on the mattress below. The sheets are soft, caressing your skin as you nuzzle against it, distractedly.
Youâre gripping the sheets by your head when you feel Touyaâs palm crack harshly against your ass,forcing you to jolt forward.
âAh!â You whine into the sheets. He mustâve heated his hand, because you can feel your ass almost blistering from where he spanked you.
You assume thatâs some sort of revenge from what you did to his forearms earlier. Not that it matters, the pain and pleasure mix together even better.
âLook at you, so obedient. You want me to fuck you like a dog, donât you?â He teases, words sitting heavy on his tongue.
He grips the base of his cock and rubs the head between your lips, parting them easily.
You open your mouth to answer but youâre cut off. Heâs already bullying his way back into you without abandon.
Touya grips your hips tight enough you worry heâs gripping the bone. His cock throbs, your pussy feels tighter this way.
Itâs making his head spin, watching himself pull out, cock shiny and slick, before filling you once again. His heart thumps hard in his rib cage, thinking about just how much he fucking loves you.
âOh god.â You shove your face into the mattress as Touya starts to move hard and fast. His cock filling you out perfectly with each thrust.
The friction is blistering, pleasure burning through your limbs. He presses his hands into your lower back, pushing the arch in your spine to its breaking point and he uses his weight to fuck you.
His cock bullies your sweet spot again and again, ripping muffled screams from your throat and into the mattress.
Youâre starting to squirm under him, overly sensitive while he pushes you closer to your peak. You unconsciously try to crawl away from him, but he notices. Youâve started to fist the sheets again, for any kind of leverage.
âThatâs the spot, isnât baby? Youâre so cute, trying to crawl away from me. Youâre not fucking going anywhere. Be good, baby girl,â he demands, huffing lightly. He leans forward to brace one hand on the back of your neck, pinning you down.
He lets his other hand rest on the middle of your lower back, pressing down there too. How youâre able to keep your knees under you is beyond you. The first heavy thrust after that has you wailing, eyes stinging with tears.
âFuck! Touya, right there, donât stop,â you beg, feeling small underneath him. The pleasure is overwhelming. Itâs not long at all before a knot starts to wind up taught in your lower abdomen, and you struggle to try and warn him.
âGo ahead princess, Iâve got you. Cum for me, I want to feel it,â Touya purrs, bending forward to brace one hand by your head. The other still pining you down by the back of the neck.
The staples adorning his wrist feel cold against your overheated flesh. Oddly enough, the difference in temperature is what pushes you over the edge.
You cum, brutally. Pussy fluttering, gripping Touya so tight you canât believe heâs still sliding in and out of you. Heat gushes through you in waves, curling your toes.
âOh!â you gasp, a pressure building in your bladder. âYouâre gonna make me squirt,â you say in surprise. Fingernails bite into your skin, warm breath is against your ear.
âThen fucking do it baby,â he breathes, never slowing his pace. A thrill runs through you, fingers curling in the sheets.
Pleasure ripples through you as you squirt. Soaking the sheets and Touyaâs inner thighs. Your mouth stays open in a silent scream.
Touya moans in your ear, whispering words of encouragement as he works you through it. You notice his cock start to twitch inside you as you come down from your high.
Touya murmurs sweet nothings against your ear, letting you know heâs about to cum.
You tell him just how much you want it, how much you need to him to fill you upâand he does just that. Pressing all the way in until his balls fit snugly against your pussy. âšâšTouya cums with a noise that sounds like itâs been punched from his chest. Panting as he nudges your knees out from you, so you both collapse to the mattress.
You both catch you breath for a moment, Touya letting himself go soft before he makes a move to pull out. âšâšTouya rolls off you gently, onto his back. You breathe a sigh of relief, turning your head to see if his face.
âAre you okay?â he asks, cheeks flushed from the strenuous movements.
âIâm great,â you laugh, poking his ribs. He chuckles, giving you a half smile. âCan you get me a towel? Seeing as itâs your fault Iâm a mess now,â you tease. Touya rolls his eyes playfully.
You flip over onto your back as retreats to get a towel, returning swiftly.
âThank you,â you hum, cleaning yourself the best you can, not bothering to put clothes back on as you get under the blankets.
You sigh happily, turning on your side as the bed dips. Touya settles down facing you, snaking an arm around your waist to tug you closer.
âI love you,â you whisper, trailing your fingers down the side of his face, stopping to press on one of his staples under his eye. âšâšâI love you,â he replies, just as softly.
âIâll follow you to hell, you know that, right?â You say, raising an eyebrow. He sighs, leaning forward to brush a kiss over your forehead.
âI know. Iâll incinerate the world for you, you know that, right?â He teases, placing his forehead on yours. You laugh gently, nodding as you kiss him once more.

chapter 4 of the fic went up yesterday! had to finish the art before posting it here, though. some of the later pieces might not be this polished, i donât wanna burn myself out.. not totally sure how to avoid that while also not completely losing motivation, but still.
PREVIOUS
NEXT
FIRST
âââ
(The air is on fire. The air is on fire and everyone he sees for miles around is burning, gasping and convulsing, scales peeling away and blood spilling out and melting in the heat. The screaming seems to fill the space around him so tightly that the air is crowded out, he canât breathe, canât move, and through all the chaos he can see one of them reaching for him, approaching on faulty, shaking, withering legs, reaching up for him as he floats above everything, eyes huge and glassy and accusing before theyâre consumed by the flames, before their body curdles and their sides bow outwards, swelling like a lithium battery, and the last thing he hears before the flash that ignites everything is their tortured voice screaming WHY, WHY, WHY DID YOU DO ITâŠ)
When Bill finally tore his eye open, all he saw was darkness.
At first, horror settled so heavily on his brain that he couldnât even move. The darkness was suffocating, crushing him inward on all sides. He was trapped here again. Alone. No lifelines left. It was all over, and for a few seconds, the fear kept his muscles locked in place.
Then he screamed.
He leapt to his feet and staggered forward, clutching his face, tearing at his skin with his claws. âNO!! NO NO NO NO NO, I CANâT GO BACK, I CANâTââ
Then he realized he could hear his own voice. He could speak and move, and shapes were starting to melt out of the darkness around him. Wherever he was right now, whatever had happened, he was still alive.
Just as he realized this, a light switch clicked on.
Bill yelped at the sudden flash. He squeezed his eye shut as a roar of pain rushed through his head. When he forced his eyelid open again, a grappling hook was aiming right at it. He jumped and scrambled backward until his back hit a wall, glaring furiously up at his attacker. Then his eye finally adjusted, and widened in shock.
Mabel Pines was standing over him, pointing her stupid little piece of climbing equipment at him like a pistol. âIâve got some questions,â she said, in a voice that was trying to sound dangerous.
âWHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?â Bill roared. His eye darted around, taking in his surroundings: a tiny, dusty room with a single out-of-reach window that appeared to be barred. âWHERE AM I?!â he demanded. âHOW DID Iâ WHATââ as he looked around wildly, he spotted something stuck to his upper arm and immediately tried to rip it off. It stayed stuck where it was, and sent a sharp pain through his skin when he pulled on it. âWHAT IS THIS?? WHY WONâT ITâ WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?!?â
âItâs a band-aid, you big baby!â Mabel hissed. âNow stop screaming, youâre gonna wake up the whole house!!â
Her words made him pause long enough to get a clear look at the thing on his arm. It actually was a band-aid, a plasticky little cyan band-aid with a star pattern. It had been clumsily plastered over the spot where that dog had almost gnawed his arm off yesterday, and it was soaked through with silver blood.
He was totally baffled for the first time in millenia. He hadnât missed the feeling. â...WHATâS GOING ON?â
âIâm asking the questions here.â The âdangerousâ voice was back. âHow are you alive? My Grunkle sacrificed his brain to kill you last summer! Why are you here?â
Billâs eye narrowed. âYOU REALLY THINK IâD TELL YOU ANYTHING? YOUâRE ONE OF THE ONES WHO GOT ME INTO THIS MESS, AND NOW YOUâRE ASKING FOR FAVORS? YOU MIGHT BE CRAZIER THAN ME!â
Mabel snapped her fingers. âWhat mess? You said that earlier too, that we did something to you. I mean, I know we killed you and everything. But it looks like that problem solved itself, so⊠what else?â
Bill felt his face heating up with rage. She thought she could trick him?! Wheedle information out of him like some stooge?! Fat chance. He was damned if he was giving the Pines family anything they wanted from him.
âIâM NOT PLAYING THIS GAME, SHOOTING STAR.â He snarled out the nickname with all the venom he could spare. âLET ME OUT OF THIS ROOM. NOW.â
She flinched back at the shout, but held her ground. Her eyes narrowed as they bored into his, and her grip on the grappling hook tightened. âMake me,â she said.
Bill stared at her, bewildered. âWHAT?!â
âI saw you turn into a giant mutant pyramid and piledrive a house last year,â she snapped. âAnd that was just the part I could follow. You shouldnât have any trouble getting past me. Unless somethingâs gone super weird with you.â
Billâs hands clenched into fists. He knew this was a bad approach. He knew he should pivot and figure out how to talk his way out of this. But his head somehow felt even worse than before heâd passed out, and the part of his brain that handled planning was not taking his calls. He squeezed his eye shut and tried to think his way through the haze of pain. The kid was calling his bluff; there was no way he was winning a fight right now. But she was almost certainly bluffing too. If she wanted to kill him, sheâd had a million opportunities up until now. And instead, sheâd slapped a band-aid on his arm. Maybe if he caught her off guard, sheâd hold back enough that he could make an escapeâŠ
His eye shot open when he heard the door in front of him click shut. Mabel was holding a small backpack that she must have grabbed from out in the hall when he wasnât looking. He clenched his fists even tighter. That was your exit back there, Billy! You missed it! Sailed right by ya!
âListen,â Mabel said, rifling through the backpack. âI knew you wouldnât want to talk to me at first. But Iâve got some stuff in here that might change your mind.â
Bill took a wary step back. âLIKE WHAT?â
âJust some bargaining chips,â she said mysteriously, still digging through the bag. Just when Bill was starting to actually worry, she found what she was looking for and pulled it out with a flourish. A bag of cheddar-flavored potato chips. Literal bargaining chips.
He had to admit, that was a little funny.
âThereâs other stuff too.â Mabel tilted the backpack to show more snacks packed inside it. âBut, like⊠âbargaining appleâ doesnât sound as good.â
Bill wanted to be completely indignant that the kid thought she could bribe him with treats, like a stray cat. But just the sight of something edible was making his organs churn so violently with hunger that his vision started swimming. He knew he wouldnât last much longer without eating something. Trying to keep thinking through his bodyâs shrieking demands for food, he asked âWHAT BARGAIN ARE WE MAKING HERE, EXACTLY?â
Mabel stood up a little straighter, looking pleased to be making progress. âAnswer one questionâ honestlyâ and you get one snack. I figured, you lost a lot of blood last night, youâd probably want to eat something. But Iâm not just handing it over unless you help me too.â
Narrowing his eye, Bill weighed his options. He wanted to refuse to even entertain this. The thought of having to literally barter for scraps was humiliating. But another painful churn from his stomach reminded him that he couldnât ignore this bodyâs needs forever. As long as he was stuck inside this flesh prison, he needed to keep it working. And it seemed like sometimes, that would mean putting dignity aside.
Besides, unlike the last deal heâd been forced to make, at least he knew what he was signing up for this time. The kid wanted answers. âHonestâ answers. But how would she know if he was being honest or not? He already knew he was more than capable of tricking her. So all things considered, he didnât have that much to lose.
He sighed. âALRIGHT. DEAL.â
Mabel beamed excitedly for a second, then hastily replaced it with a stern expression. She held up the bag of bargaining chips. âHow did you come back to life?â
âCOULDNâT TELL YA. I JUST WOKE UP IN THE WOODS YESTERDAY.â That wasnât technically a lie; at worst a lie by omission, which didnât really count anyway. Sure, the Axolotl was the one who brought him back, but he didnât know exactly how theyâd done it. Resurrection had never been part of Billâs power set. He knew that all too well.
Still, that answer didnât seem to satisfy Mabel. âOkay, but how? Did you do some big magic ritual or something? Was it part of some big evil plan?â
âHEY!â Bill snapped. âONE ANSWER, ONE SNACK. THAT WAS THE DEAL, YEAH?â
Mabel looked like she wanted to argue. She was holding all the power here; she could change the rules if she wanted to. But just as Bill was preparing for a long, tedious debate, she tossed the bag of chips at him. Startled, he fumbled and just barely caught it.
Watching her warily, he tore the bag open with a claw and tried a chip. It was light and salty, and before he knew it he was eating another, and then he must have blacked out, because next thing he knew the bag was shredded and empty, and Mabel was staring at him with no small degree of alarm.
He was still painfully hungry, and she seemed to notice, because she hastily grabbed an apple from the bag. Holding it out, she asked âWhat is your plan, now that youâre back?â
âDONâT HAVE ONE. OTHER THAN âSTAY ALIVEâ, I MEAN.â Again, technically true. He wanted his powers back, but he didnât actually have a plan for that yet. And it was secondary to survival anyway.
Mabel looked skeptical. Still, after a scrutinizing look, she tossed him the apple. This time he caught it fairly easily, extending his arm a few extra inches to pluck it out of the air. He shoved it into his mouth/eye and crunched down, paying no mind to the uncomfortable resistance of the stem and core. Through his violent crunching, he heard Mabel say âYou probably shouldnât eat it wholeââ
His eye shot open as a sudden coughing fit overtook him. Maybe the kid had been right; a chunk of apple core had snuck down his windpipe. Just as he managed to dislodge it, Mabel asked âAre you okay?â
âYES!â He pointed up at her brightly. âFOOD, PLEASE.â
Mabel gave him a shocked glare. She probably thought heâd done that on purpose, which was fine by him. With an angry sigh, she fished through the backpack and retrieved another bag, this time full of trail mix. As he was devouring it, she held out a bottle of water.
He shot her a suspicious look. âCome on,â she said, rolling her eyes. âItâs water. Thatâs not a snack. Just take it.â
He wasnât about to argue. He grabbed the bottle and guzzled it down. Once he was done, he looked up to see Mabel holding another apple and staring him dead in the eye. This time, the serious expression on her face was definitely not an act. She asked âAre you going to hurt my family?â
Bill froze for a second. Then he furrowed his brow. âWHY WOULD I DO THAT?â
Mabel crossed her arms and glared at him. âI dunno, that was just the vibe I got when you were screaming at me about how we all did this to you, while trying to shoot me with a finger gun?â She waved her own finger gun around to demonstrate. âI know how much you hate us, Bill. Iâm not stupid.â
Bill mentally kicked himself. It was true, the kid wasnât stupid⊠at least not stupid enough to fall for a lie that blatant. He sorted through his jumbled thoughts for a way to save face.
âOKAY, FINE,â he said. âIF I HAD THE CHANCE, A LITTLE PAYBACK WOULD BE NICE. BUT THEREâS NO WAY IâD RISK THAT NOW! YOU GUYS ALREADY KILLED ME ONCE, WHEN I HAD GODLIKE POWERS. I WOULDNâT STAND A CHANCE LIKE THIS.â
âSo you donât have powers anymore,â Mabel said thoughtfully, and Bill kicked himself again for showing his hand. âI mean, I figured as much. So when you came back to lifeâ however that happenedâ you came back as a regular person? Erâ regular triangle?â
âYEP. YOU GOT IT.â Bill held out his hand expectantly. âALSO THAT WAS TWO QUESTIONS.â
Mabel rolled her eyes and tossed him the apple, followed by a package of fruit snacks. She watched as he devoured them, eating the apple more carefully this time. âIâm running low on snacks,â she divulged.
Bill polished off the last few fruit snacks. âBETTER MAKE âEM COUNT, THEN!â
Clutching a sleeve of crackers, Mabel scratched her chin thoughtfully. âSo youâre not planning to kill us, and you donât have some other big sinister plan.â Bill heard the deliberate period at the end of the sentence. âThen⊠what are you gonna do next? Not even a plan, just⊠the next step after you leave here.â
Bill sighed. This one didnât require any bending of the truth. âLEAVE TOWN. FIND SOMEPLACE WHERE NO ONE RECOGNIZES ME, AND⊠START OVER, I GUESS.â
She frowned. âLeave town. Like, on foot.â
âIâLL HITCH. OR STEAL A CAR OR SOMETHING.â
âWithout being seen by anyone in town. Who all remember last summer, by the way.â
He bristled. âFINE. IâLL GO THROUGH THE WOODS.â
âWhere you almost died yesterday.â
âIâLL FIGURE IT OUT, ALRIGHT?!â he exploded. âWHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! AND ARE YOU GONNA HAND THAT OVER, OR WHAT?!â
She held out the crackers. He snatched them away and started wolfing them down, chewing more violently than necessary.
âIâm just saying,â she said. âIf you want to stay alive longer than a couple more days, youâll need a better plan than that. Maybe itâs been a while since youâve had to worry about taking care of your body, but bodies die from all kinds of things. Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, exposure, bearsâŠâ
âI KNOW THAT,â he snapped through a mouthful of crackers. âIT HASNâT BEEN THAT LONG.â
She reached into the bag again. âHow long has it been exactly?â
He glared at her. Sure, he could make something up, but really, what was the point? He knew she could tell it had been a long time.
âA TRILLION YEARS,â he muttered under his breath.
âWhat?â
âA TRILLION YEARS!!â
âA TRILLION years?!?â
âYES,â he snapped. âAND THATâS THREE QUESTIONS, KID.â
âUgh!!â She turned the backpack upside down, dumping out a candy bar, a banana, and another bag of chips. âThere. Youâve taken everything from me.â
Bill snatched them up. âGOOD! NOW WEâRE EVEN.â
She was quiet as he ate, except for a disgusted noise when he didnât bother to peel the banana. As soon as he was done, he stood up. âWELL, YOUâRE OUT OF QUESTIONS, SO I GUESS WEâRE DONE HERE.â
âWait, hold on.â She stood up too. âYouâre really just leaving? You donât even know where youâre going.â
She was out of collateral. He didnât have to answer. But, again, there was no point playing coy when she already knew the answer anyway. âIF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA, IâM LISTENING.â
She hesitated, twisting the hem of her sweater in her hands. âI mean⊠you could stay hereâŠâ
He must have looked as shocked and angry as he felt, because she held out her hands, beckoning him to wait. âWe basically never use this room! Youâll have food and water whenever you need it, and it doesnât have to be for long. Just until you have an actual plan, other than âwalk awayâ.â Her eyes lit up with inspiration. âOhâ you could catch the bus to California in August! It stops right down the road!â
âOH WOW! CHARITY FROM MY MURDERERS! NO THANKS.â Too affronted to stay civil any longer, Bill dodged past Mabel and grabbed the doorknob. She grabbed his arm to stop him, and the instant she did, a jolt of panic shot through his body. The hot, clammy, stinging sensation of her hand latched onto his skin filled his brain with blinding terror, and he wrenched his arm away with all the strength he had, scrambling away until his back was flat against the wall. As Mabel watched, eyes wide with shocked confusion, he tried to brush the buzzing heat off his arm and will his heartbeat to slow back down to normal.
âSorry,â Mabel said. âIâm sorry. I didnât mean to scare yââ
âIâM NOT,â he snapped in a harsh, strained voice. âIâM NOT. I JUST WASNâT⊠EXPECTINGâŠâ he trailed off into silence. A trillion years with no physical body. Only ever feeling touch with the muffling layers of possession and alternate dimensions in the way. It sounded so stupid, but heâd forgotten what it actually felt like. The real thing. It was way too much.
After a second, Mabel piped up again. âI was just trying to say⊠you shouldnât leave through the house. Itâs still super early, but the sunâs coming up, and Iâve never seen Grunkle Ford sleep through the sunrise. Heâll lose it if he sees you.â
Bill blinked. âWAIT, HE DOESNâT KNOW IâM HERE?â
She winced. He could see her mentally kicking herself; about time she had a turn at that. â...No,â she admitted. âI snuck you in here. I figured, if the others saw you, theyâd just wanna stomp your eyeball in and ask questions later.â
He probably would have realized it sooner, if heâd been thinking ahead. Ford and his brother would never let one of the kids talk to him alone. If they knew he was here, heâd have been dead hours ago.
He stared at Mabel. âAND YOU⊠DIDNâT WANT THAT?â
She chewed her lip anxiously. After a little hesitation, she shook her head.
âWHY?â He should have asked this a long time ago. âWHYâD YOU BRING ME HERE? WHY⊠ANY OF THIS?â He shot a look at the bandage on his arm and the snack wrappers scattered across the floor.
She shrugged uncomfortably. âI donât know. I guess yesterday⊠you were hurt, and I justâŠâ she sighed. âI donât know.â
How comforting. The only person in this whole town who didnât seem to want him dead, and she couldnât even say why.
âWELL!â he said, trying to sound bright and casual. âTHE SNACKS WERE NICE, AND CATCHING UP WAS⊠INTERESTING. BUT THE ANSWER TO YOUR OFFERâS STILL A RESOUNDING âNOâ. SO I THINK WEâRE DONE HERE. IâLL JUST SEE MYSELF OUT.â
He turned to the one tiny window in this dungeon of a room. It was well out of reach. With a weary sigh, he turned to the wooden chest placed across the room and tried to push it towards the window.
It was heavy. Of course it was heavy. Why did he expect any different? He pressed all his negligible weight against the thing, muscles straining painfully. How had pain ever seemed funny? When he was about ready to give up, the chest suddenly slid out from under him and thunked against the wall below the window. As he stumbled and righted himself, he looked up to see Mabel leaning against the chest, smiling awkwardly. She stepped up on it and offered him a hand to climb up to the window.
Scowling, he sidestepped her and used his last useful abilityâ stretchy armsâ to reach the bars. Atop the chest, he could just barely reach to undo the lock, shove the window open, and pull himself up. Once he was out, he shot one last look back at Mabel, who was frowning up at him with conflicted concern.
âFOR THE RECORD,â he said, âI WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR HELP.â
Her frown deepened. It was his least convincing lie yet, and they both knew it. But to her credit, she didnât say anything.
He pulled the window shut behind him.
