Heyo! So not sure how youd even write this from a story perspectiveâ maybe headcanons r easier idkâ but! What would Current SB/Ben say to his younger self (your choice on age) about his future? Whether it be from an introspective place, him talking fondly about his future family, etc â all you boođ Hope youre doing well!
Hey there! Thanks, I'm doing well and hope you are too!
Strictly speaking on story/fic requests, I'm only doing full fic requests on my Patreon, but occasionally I'll be able to do a short imagine/HC when something strikes me. For example, you pose a really interesting question. I think the answer would depend on Soldier Boy/Ben's level of growth/character development.
Like, if we're talking about Break Me Down version of Ben, for example, I've actually thought about this a bit before! If he had the opportunity to talk to his younger self, let's say in the 80s (shortly before Nicaragua):
What (BMD) Soldier Boy/Ben Would Say to His Younger Self
"You just think you've got it all figured out, don't you?" Ben says, crossing his arms at his younger counterpart.
"What? I'm at the top of my game?" Soldier Boy says. He smokes a joint, blowing up smoke casually and arrogantly.
Ben chuckles. "That's what you think."
Soldier Boy frowns. "The whole fucking world worships me. Whatever I want, I get. Women, picture deals, a fucking statue in front of Vought tower-- Hell, I've got hit after hit record on the top of the charts, for fuck's sake."
Ben just shakes his head. His rueful smile irks the other guy, but not as much as what he says next.
"And you're bored," Ben says. "You've got it all... But nothing's ever good enough, right?"
Soldier Boy's lips purse, but he doesn't have an answer. Not one he's willing to voice. Ben nods in understanding.
"It's all right. One day you'll find it," he says.
Soldier Boy frowns, his brows furrowing. "What do you mean, find it?"
Ben doesn't want to give away the punchline. This guy hasn't earned it yet. Not the way Ben knows he'll need to. Otherwise, he'll never understand what it all meant. What all those years struggling alone in the dark, and what betrayal, loneliness, and pain were worth.
No, he won't give it all away. But he'll give him this, at least.
"It's the simplest thing in the world," Ben says. "You're gonna meet a woman."
Granted, the way he met you was anything but simple. The way Ben sees it now, though, it is simple.
Soldier Boy's frown fades, his face turning wry. "A woman, huh? Think I've got plenty of those. Any time, any place, any way I want."
"Not this one," Ben says. He can't help a small, reserved smile when he thinks of you. "Matter of fact, she's going to test your last ever-fucking nerve, every day of your life...but you're not gonna be the same."
Ben thinks about the life he's built with you. He thinks about his daughter, Lila, and his son on the way. Ben pictures the house in his mind--Christmases, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, along with missions gone awry, and the fights and arguments that reverberated on those walls. Moments where his temper got the best of him, or your stubbornness made you dig your heels in. All of it is worth it.
"Then one day, you're going to wake up and realize that you've got everything you need," Ben says.
Soldier Boy seems to take that in. He's still skeptical, but maybe secretly interested in the bright future lying in wait behind his older self's eyes, even though he doesn't want to show it.
"Yeah? And then what?" Soldier Boy asks, in a tone that scoffs, but Ben sees that he's serious too, and he's listening. He knows it as well as he knows himself.
Ben levels a pointed finger at him.
"All you need to do, is protect it."
AN: It's like the old Spiderman meme where he's pointing at himself. lol đ

Holy Ground - Chapter 2
Summary:
Nobody knew that Azriel found his mate. Until she nearly died. This is the aftermath.
Warning:
Rhys Bashing (as usual), Inner Circle Bashing (kinda), Referenced/Implied Sexual Assault, Referenced/Implied Domestic Violence, Discussion of Religion(?), Chronic Injury/Pain/Illness, Minor Character Death (It's probably nobody you love), Magical Work Accidents, Explosions, Injuries
If any of this triggers you or makes you uncomfortable, please take care of your own mental health and don't read it.
Azrielâs shadows liked to spoil his mate rotten.
Not that Azriel could find anything wrong with that.
She deserved more for putting up with him.Â
More than new tea from the Dawn Court and her favourite chocolate covered, wafer thin cookies from a small bakery near the SidraâŠmore than the occasional embroidery thread they snuck herâŠMore than whatever animal he went to go hunt, to cover his bed in even more furs just for her.Â
He nearly had enough Sable furs to have a blanket made for her for Winter SolsticeâŠ
Azriel also had half a mind to go sneak in her office later that day.Â
Just as a treat for not killing either of his brothers. For being civil.Â
Rhys had come over for sparring, unnannounced.Â
Azriel had hoped to have some peace and quiet today, but it seemed like Rhys had other plans.Â
Currently Cassian and Rhys were wrestling with less sense than they had had when they were just kids, and Azriel was cleaning his weapons, watching from the sidelines.
Azriel couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight of his brothers roughhousing. It was typical of them to turn a simple sparring session into some kind of ridiculous competition. He focused on sharpening his knives, trying to ignore their antics.
"You know, we could also actually train properly," he called out, his tone dry. "Instead of wrestling like a bunch of children."
Cassian looked up from his grappling with Rhys, grinning. "Oh, come on Az. Don't be such a stick in the mud. Loosen up, have a little fun for once."
Azriel's expression remained impassive. "I'm perfectly capable of having fun, Cassian. But I prefer to do so without rolling around in the dirt like a wild animal."
Rhysand chuckled, standing up and clapping Cassian on the back. "It's good to let loose every now and then, Az. You should try it sometime. It might make your brooding sessions a little less depressing."
Azriel just grunted in response, not willing to engage in a verbal sparring match with Rhys. He continued to clean his weapons, hoping that the training session would end soon so he could escape his brothers' teasing.
âWhen did you even come home yesterday?â Cassian asked him.
Azriel looked up from his work, his expression neutral. "Around 11," he said simply.
âYou didnât come to dinner,â Rhys pointed out. âYou were missed.â
He highly doubted that.
And maybe he had made that mission in Dawn just a little while longer, so that he knew that dinner would be over and when he came home, he wouldnât need to be alone.
Azriel just shrugged. "I was busy," he said, offering no further explanation. He knew his brothers were just trying to rile him up, and he wasn't about to give them the satisfaction of a reaction.
*Are you still pissed of at me?* Rhys asked him mentally with a sigh. *I get it. But you donât need to avoid everybody else, just becauseâŠ*
*Iâm not avoiding anyone,* Azriel replied, his mental voice tight. *Iâm simply choosing to spend my time how I see fit.*
âI was busy,â he repeated aloud.
Cassian rolled his eyes. "You're always busy, Az. You know, there's such thing as taking a break once in a while. Spending time with your family."
Or he could spent time with his mate. He could spent time with his mate, who let him brush her hair and even braid it âŠwho pressed kisses to his horrible scarred hands and smiled at him.Â
If it was a choice between Irena or a family dinner where he didnât want to stay longer than an hour or two, because he was still too fucking pissed off at RhysâŠthe choice was easy.Â
âOr is there a special somebody?â Cassian teased him.
Azriel glowered at him. "Itâs none of your business." He went back to working on his weapons, his expression tense.
*You canât keep panting after Elain for the rest of your life,* Rhys said mentally. *Look, I know I didnâtâŠI am sorry. But sheâs happy with Lucien andâŠ*
*Donât worry, Iâll go to a pleasure hall and pay for it if I want to fuck somebody,*Â Azriel shot back viciously.
Or his own hand would suffice. More than suffice, especially ifâŠespecially if Irena had let him kiss her the evening beforeâŠsometimes he waited until she disappeared into her room, and he buried his face in the pillows that smelled like her, fisted his cock and rutted like an untried boy for seconds before he came all over himself.Â
It was still better than any other sex he ever had had before.
Cassian raised an eyebrow at him. "It sounds like you need to get laid," he said, chuckling. "Maybe that'll help with your bad mood."
Azriel shot him a glare. "Mind your own business, Cassian. My love life is none of your concern."
Rhysand gave him a sympathetic look. *We just want you to be happy, Az. You deserve happiness.*
âOhhh, touchy,â Cassian said with a snort.
Azriel just gritted his teeth, his temper rising. "Cassian, if you donât shut your mouth right now, I swear to the Mother, Iâll shut it for you."
Cassian just grinned at him. "Come on, Az. Iâm just teasing you. Lighten up."
Azriel's grip on his weapons tightened. "I don't like your teasing, Cassian. And I certainly don't appreciate you making assumptions about my personal life.â
Mostly he just wanted his brothers to leave him the hell alone.
And then...then before he could say another thing...he felt the shaking.
And then the sound came. An eardrum shattering explosion, the very foundation of the House of Wind shaking. It was terrifying him.
Irena was down there in her office. Nesta was in there.Â
He was moving before he was even thinking.Â
*Merrill's office, Master!*Â the shadows screeched.
Azriel was already running.
Cassian hot on his heels, so was Rhys.
Azriel was faster, heaving shadows around his limbs as he rocketed down the spiral stairs of the House of Wind.
Level Two, Straight to the right. Clearly...Clearly the epicenter of the blast. Of the explosionâŠof whatever had happened.
He pushed as hard as he could, legs burning as he hurtled down the hallway to Merrill's office.
He wasn't the only one. "Merrill!" He could hear Gwyn's shrill voice screaming, coming to a stop in a hallway of what had once been Merrill's office but now was just...
It was a mass of wood and rubble.
He barely slowed down, scrambling into action. Gwyn was already digging through it, so where Nesta and Emerie. Cassian landed behind him, immediately moving some of the debris.
His shadows swarmed as he and the others quickly dug at the rubble. Looking, desperately looking.
He moved another piece of rubble out of the way...a piece of blue cloths. The same blue cloth that he knew covered Irena's body, the scent of poppies clinging to her...Without a thought, he grasped and then dragged, a hoarse shout that was her, that was her...
He felt as if he were choking, as if he were drowning as he dragged out her body. Bloody, bruised, broken but still...still there was a faint flicker, a faint, thready heartbeat.
His heartbeat pounding in his ears, he tried to pick up on her heart. There was barely a flicker. Too fast, too faint, she was barely holding on. Barely hanging by a thread.
There was blood pooling on her abdomen, dying the blue dress she wore bright scarlet red, He put pressure on that wound immediately, leaning on her with nearly all his weight, his fingers slick with blood. "Damn it, stay with me, love," he demanded sharply.
Azriel felt like he could barely breath. Like he was falling, tumbling down as he tried to will her to stay with him. Stay. Stay. Stay. Please stay. Stay...
Rhys was there suddenly, checking her pulse. "Breathing is erratic. She's in shock," he told Azriel with a grimace. "Mor is getting Madja..."
"Az..." her voice was so weak, but he turned to see dark brown eyes watching him, brows furrowing.
"Just keep breathing, Love," he told her, trying to stop his voice from shaking.
He could barely hear what was going on around him. It was as if he were in a bubble, a world of just himself and her and the desperate beat of her heart under his fingers.
"I am sorry," she whispered.
"There is nothing you need to apologise for her, Irena," he promised her sharply. "Absolutely nothing."
Irena's eyes drifted shut. Azriel felt like something was dying inside him as her heartbeat fluttered against his fingertips. His world was collapsing, shattering into pieces as her breath stuttered.
"Stay. Just stay..." he was barely aware of what he was saying, his eyes frantically searching hers. She had to stay. He would do anything to keep her here. Anything.
"I am still owing you that flight," he told her. She hadn't let him take her flying yet. They had snuck away in the library...in the rooftop garden...in her office. But he had never gotten to take her flying. He had never gotten to take her out into Velaris. They had never had a date at a fancy restaurant, had never gone to see the symphony. There were thousands of things that he hadn't yet gotten to do with his mate, because they had all the time in the world.
Irena just stared at him, her eyes pleading, as her heartbeat slowed, fluttering weaker and weaker. Azriel felt a sharp pain in his chest as fear clawed at his spine. "Just hold on a little longer, love," he whispered. "Please."
And then there Madja. Thank the cauldron. There she was.
Azriel could barely manage to let go of her, his mind consumed with the singular thought of Irena's laboured, erratic heartbeat as he moved back. Madja immediately set to work.
He lunged for her head, lunged to pull it on his lap, to touch her with blood slick fingertips, her normally rosy red lips pale, her skin even whiter than usual.
"Hurts," she whispered, as Madja set to work, barking orders.
"I know, I know, love," he whispered, touching her cheek with his fingertips as Madja got to work.
His eyes searched hers as he murmured those words over and over, as if he could somehow hold her in this world through sheer force of will alone.
"We haven't had enough time," he whispered desperately, leaning his forehead against hers.
She was slipping away. He could feel it. Feel her slipping, feel her heartbeat slow. Feel the thread that tethered her to this world fray, fray, fray...
No. He couldn't lose her. Would not let her leave him. He had waited far too long for her. Far, far too long to let her slip through his fingers.
"Stay with me," he pleaded. "Please stay with me."
But her eyes were slipping shut, her head lolling to the side. He gently patted her cheek, trying to urge her back to consciousness, but he didn't think he was even really aware of what he was doing, where he was. The world had boiled down to a desperate litany, in his head. Stay...stay...please...don't you dare...
âI am going to be so furious with you if you die. We may have our first fight,â he told her fiercely.
He needed her to know that he would be there to be furious with her if she dared to die, that she couldn't die. Couldn't. That she had to stay. Had to keep fighting. There were too many things ahead of them...a wedding to plan, children to have, years and years of life to live.
âAz,â she breathed his name, her eyes not even open anymore.
âOpen your eyes, Irena,â he demanded. âLook at me, love,â
Her eyes finally fluttered open at his command. It was barely more than a slither of brown, but he latched onto it, taking it for what it was. A chance. A moment to get through to her.
He wasn't sure what he was saying, but the words spilled forth from him, a litany, a desperate prayer. "Please," he breathed, "don't go...don't you dare..."
He was dimly aware that the others had gathered, but he didn't dare look away. Didn't dare look away from her as he cradled her head, trying to pour all of his prayers into those words. All of his hope and desperation.
"You can't go." A statement. An order. An absolute certainty in his voice. "I will not let you go."
He wouldn't. Would never, ever let her go. Would drag her back from the Cauldron's grasp with bloodied and broken hands if thats what had to be.
She didn't speak. Didn't need to. He could read her answer in her eyes, the determination in those brown eyes as she tried so, so hard to stay.
It was as if she were holding on for him, because he had asked her to. Because it was him there with her. Like she would fight until her last breath because he told her too. He didn't deserve this beautiful creature, who was willing to fight for him, willing to live for him.
It was something primal, something desperate, something fierce as he whispered those words over and over, like a prayer. "Fight. Fight. Fight."
And she listened. She did. He could feel her hold on, just barely grasp hold of that tether that kept her in this world. Just barely keep her eyes open.
Just look at him.
And she did, those dark eyes unfocused but open, staring up at him, watching him. Trying so, so hard. It nearly made his heart stop in the most terrible way that she was struggling for him.
And he was so proud of her. Of the way she was fighting like she was. Of the way she was grasping, hanging on to life like she was.
The seconds stretched too thin, feeling like eternities and only the slightest of moments. But her eyes were open, if only barely. She hadn't given up. Hadn't let go.
He was dimly aware of the others, Gwyn hovering with a worried expression, Madja murmuring quiet instructions to the others, Rhys kneeling not far away. But he barely glanced at them, barely dared to take his eyes off Irena.
He was certain that if he looked away, if he let this tenuous thread sever, that she would die. That as long as he kept her here, she wouldn't slip, wouldn't let go.
He had one hand on her cheek, her skin still clammy and pale, as her eyes slipped open and shut. But everytime, they would find his face. His eyes, like he was the only thing tethering her to the world. It hurt. Hurt so much to see her barely holding on, only that last sliver of determination keeping her here.
"Please," he pleaded, whispering those words like a prayer, like he would be praying to a vengeful god. Those moments felt like eternities, stretching on and on with only his desperate whispers. "Please..."
The world felt so still, so silent as if the world was holding its breath. Azriel's eyes locked on Irena, silently begging her, asking her to please, please...
Live, live live... he whispered those words over and over, a desperate plea to the Mother, the Cauldron, to anyone who would listen. To Irena, the only person in the entire world who truly mattered in that moment.
Her eyes were growing glassy, slipping closed only to jerk open again. Stay he demanded. Keep looking at me. Please.
She tried. Mother, she tried. Her eyes drifted to him, the smallest hint of life, of a spark there in those dark brown eyes.
He hardly dared to breathe, hardly dared to move. Afraid that any wrong move could tip her over the edge, could pull her into that chasm of non-existence that she was desperately clinging too.
He felt something pricking at his eyes, felt something in his chest cracking, breaking at the sheer intensity of emotions thrumming through him. It hurt. Hurt so much to see her like this, so pale, barely holding on, barely conscious...
âAlright,â Madja said quietly. âGood girl. You were so very brave.â
"Will...will she be alright?" He asked, voice hoarse.
He didn't let his eyes drift from Irena's face, her half lidded eyes staring at him. It filled him with such an intense pang of relief and fear at the same time. Relief, because she was alive...and fear, because they had been so close to losing her.
"She's not out of the woods yet," Madja warned. "But she'll make it. She lost a lot of blood. It will take some time to get her vitals stable again."
He felt like he could breathe for the first time. It was almost dizzying, the sheer, intense relief that flooded through him. Irena was here. Irena would live. It filled his veins with an almost drug like euphoria, that made him light headed, a smile twitching at the corners of his lips.
He barely managed to keep that feeling in, the pure euphoria from showing as he smoothed a strand of hair back from her face. "Thank you," he whispered, voice hoarse, eyes finally dragging away from Irena's face to look at Madja. "Just...thank you."
He looked back at Irena, taking in her face. Alive. Still alive. Still here with him, not gone. The tension seeped from his shoulders, a strange sort of exhaustion taking over. As if all the adrenaline that had fueled him, the fear, was slowly draining out of him like water.
âMerrill,â Irena whispered, her voice near silent.
Azriel felt his fingers brush her cheek, just the gentlest touch as he tried to keep it together. It had been too close. Too, too close. He couldn't stop the overwhelming feelings flowing through him of elation and fear as he looked down at her as he looked down at her, alive. Alive and breathing and whispering soft words. "Shhh," he whispered softly. "Save your strength. Don't strain yourself."
He looked up finding Cassians gaze who just shook his head. Merrill was dead.
Azriel couldn't quite process that information, not in that moment. His eyes were still drawn to Irena, still unable to take his eyes off of her for more than a moment. His fingers brushed her cheek again, just the faintest touch as he pressed a small kiss to her forehead. "Rest," he instructed softly. "I'll be right there.â He promised.
âBeing here to her room,â Madja said quietly.
âMy room,â he corrected.
The priestesses dormitory was locked from males. If he even tried to get in there it wouldâve end well for him. And he wouldnât leave her side.
âYour room?â Gwyn asked sharply.
âGwyn,â Rhys said quietly.Azriel didn't even acknowledge Gwyn's words, didn't have the energy. All he could focus on was the way Irena's eyes had drifted shut, the steady rise and fall of her chest. She would be alright. She was going to be alright. She was alive. Right now, in that moment, thats all that mattered.
âAz, how long have the two of youâŠâ Cassian asked hesitantly.
Azriel just shrugged, his hand resting on Irena's hair, smoothing back from her face. âTwo years. Sheâs my mate,â he said flatly as he gathered her up.Â
âMate,â she rasped. âMine.â
âYours,â he agreed softly.

Can we get a Styles-Swift reader! imagine in honor of Liam Payne?
Steady Hands in the Storm
Pairing: Harry Styles x daughter!reader
Genre: slight angst into fluff
Warnings: kinda a heavy one but it has a happy ending
A/N YALL IM BACK Word Count: 7,243
The house was unusually quiet. The kind of silence that feels heavy, pressing down on every surface. You sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly stirring a spoon through your cup of tea. It had gone cold a while ago, but you hadnât noticed. Not really. All your focus was on your father, who was sitting across from you.
He was hunched over, elbows on the table, his head in his hands. His curls looked messier than usual, like he hadnât bothered to tame them today. Youâd noticed the little things over the past few daysâthe way he moved slower, the way his smile didnât quite reach his eyes anymore. Even the way his voice sounded softer, like the energy had drained out of him.
You knew why, of course. The news had hit everyone hard. Liam Payne, your dadâs former bandmate, had passed away unexpectedly. And even though it had been years since One Direction had been a band, those boys were still family to him. Losing Liam felt like losing a part of himself.
âDad,â you said softly, your voice barely breaking the stillness.
He didnât look up, but you saw his shoulders tense slightly.
âDo you want to talk about it?â
âNo,â he mumbled, his voice hoarse.
You sighed, setting your spoon down with a soft clink. You knew him well enough to understand that he wasnât trying to shut you out. He just didnât know how to put what he was feeling into words.
So, you decided to try a different approach.
âDo you remember that time Liam came over for Christmas when I was, like, six?â you said, leaning back in your chair. âHe spent the whole day teaching me how to do a handstand in the living room. Mum was furious because we kept knocking over the decorations.â
That got a small huff of a laugh out of your dad, though he still didnât lift his head.
âI thought she was going to banish him from the house forever,â you added with a grin.
âHe kept apologizing every five minutes,â your dad muttered, finally looking up. His green eyes were red-rimmed, and you could tell he hadnât slept much. âBut then heâd just⊠try again. Said you were getting better every time.â
You smiled softly, nodding. âI did get better. All because of him.â
The room fell quiet again, but it didnât feel as heavy this time. You could see your dadâs shoulders relax a little, his hands falling to rest on the table.
âHe was so good with you,â Harry said after a moment. âAlways patient. Always kind.â
You reached across the table, placing your hand over his. âHe loved you, Dad. All of you. I think you meant as much to him as he did to you.â
Your dad swallowed hard, his jaw clenching as he tried to keep his emotions in check.
âIt just⊠it doesnât feel real,â he admitted, his voice cracking. âI keep thinking Iâll wake up and⊠and heâll call or text, and itâll all have been some kind of awful dream.â
You squeezed his hand gently. âI know. But he wouldnât want you to carry this alone. Youâve always told me that grief is lighter when you share it.â
He gave you a faint smile, one that didnât quite reach his eyes but was a start.
âWhy are you so wise for a teenager?â he asked, his voice tinged with warmth.
You shrugged, trying to keep the mood light. âI get it from Mum. Obviously.â
That earned you a soft chuckle, and for a moment, it felt like the cloud hanging over the room lifted just a little.
Over the next few days, you made it your mission to help your dad through his grief, even if he didnât realize it. It was little things at firstâmaking sure he ate, suggesting you watch one of Liamâs favorite movies together, or putting on some music to fill the silence.
But as time went on, you noticed that your dad seemed to be retreating into himself more. Heâd spend hours in his studio, not working on anything, just sitting there with his guitar in his lap. Youâd find him staring out the window, lost in thought, or holding his phone like he was waiting for a call that would never come.
It broke your heart to see him like this, so you decided to take a more direct approach.
One evening, you found him in the living room, staring at an old photo album. You sat down next to him without a word, leaning against his shoulder as you looked at the pictures. Most of them were from his One Direction daysâgrainy selfies, group shots from concerts, and candids of the boys goofing around backstage.
âDid you ever think those days would end?â you asked softly.
He shook his head. âNot really. We were so young, so caught up in it all. It felt like it would last forever.â
âBut youâre still close,â you pointed out. âYou and Louis talk all the time. And Niall sends those ridiculous videos that make you laugh so hard you cry.â
He smiled faintly at that. âYeah. And Zayn⊠well, weâve reconnected a bit over the years. Itâs not the same as it was, but thereâs still love there.â
You nodded, flipping the page to a picture of Liam holding a microphone, his face lit up with a big, toothy grin. âHeâd be proud of you, you know. For everything youâve done. For the way youâve been there for everyone else, even when itâs hard for you.â
Your dadâs eyes filled with tears, and he quickly wiped them away, his hand trembling slightly.
âI just⊠I feel like I shouldâve done more,â he admitted. âChecked in more often, made more of an effort to keep in touch. Maybe if I had, things wouldâve been different.â
You shook your head firmly. âNo, Dad. You canât think like that. You loved him, and he knew that. Sometimes, life just⊠happens. Itâs not anyoneâs fault.â
He looked at you then, his eyes searching yours for some kind of reassurance. âHowâd you get so good at this?â he asked, his voice thick with emotion.
âYears of listening to your music,â you teased, earning a watery laugh from him.
A few weeks later, your dad had a concert scheduledâa big one, with thousands of fans waiting to see him. You werenât sure if he was ready to perform, but he insisted that the show must go on.
That night, as you stood backstage, you could feel the nervous energy radiating off him. He kept pacing, running his hands through his hair and mumbling to himself.
âDad,â you said, stepping in front of him to stop his pacing. âYouâve got this.â
He looked down at you, his green eyes wide and uncertain. âWhat if I break down in the middle of it? What if I canât do it?â
âYou will,â you said confidently. âBecause youâre doing this for him. And because heâd want you to.â
He took a deep breath, nodding slowly. âYouâre right. Youâre absolutely right.â
As the lights dimmed and the crowd erupted into cheers, your dad turned to you one last time. âStay close, yeah?â
âAlways,â you promised.
The concert started off strong, with your dad pouring his heart into every song. The crowd loved him, cheering and singing along to every word. But it wasnât until halfway through the set that he finally addressed the elephant in the room.
âThis next oneâŠâ he began, his voice shaking slightly. âThis next one is for someone very special to me. Someone whoâs no longer with us, but who will always be a part of my heart.â
The stadium fell silent, the weight of his words sinking in.
âI miss you, mate,â he said softly, his voice cracking. âThis oneâs for you.â
He started to play, his voice raw with emotion as he sang a song heâd written just for Liam. The lyrics were beautiful, filled with love and pain and memories of the friendship theyâd shared. By the time he finished, there wasnât a dry eye in the houseâincluding yours.
When he walked off stage, you were there waiting for him, your arms open wide. He pulled you into a tight hug, holding on like you were his lifeline.
âThank you,â he whispered, his voice thick with gratitude. âFor everything.â
You smiled against his shoulder, tears streaming down your face. âAlways, Dad. Always.â
In that moment, you knew that while the pain of losing Liam would never fully go away, your dad would be okay. Because he wasnât alone. He had you, and he had the love and memories of a bond that could never be broken.
And that was enough.
The End.

The Line - Part 4
Reader and John have always straddled the line between playful flirting and taking things further. However when they are forced into a safe house and a secret comes out will they be able to save what they were heading for or is all lost.
Reader x John Price, Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Laswell, Original characters.
Warnings for series: Angst, violence towards reader, reader attacked by men, a pup gets hurt (but don't worry he's ok) Blood, fluff, flirting, a bit of light smut. Death and killing on missions, Father of reader's death mentioned.
Authors note: Price is mean in this one so apologies in advance. Also soft Konig is my favorite.
MASTERLIST
Y/N woke up the next morning, her head pounding. She barely slept because she kept wanting to go to Priceâs room and just explain herself. She wanted to tell him everything. Including how she felt about him. But then she thought about what Simon said and he was right. They couldnât be sure no one was listening to them.Â
After showering and packing up her things Y/N headed downstairs and dropped her bag at the bottom of the stairs. She grabbed Simonâs pack and made her way to the kitchen, slightly limping. When she saw he was the only one up she was relieved.Â
âYou got any more painkillers in here?â She asked dropping his bag at his side. Â
âYour leg hurtin ya?â He asked, rummaging in his bag.Â
âLeg, head, heart.â She replied while she made herself a coffee.Â
âWell this will help your head and your leg, and as much as Iâd like to help your heart I canât. Yet.â
âItâs ok.â Y/N said, swallowing the pills down.Â
She stretched her leg out in front of her and hissed.Â
âWe should rebandage that, while no one else is around.â he said and grabbed his kit out of his bag.Â
âRight here?â Y/N asked, glancing around.Â
âNo one else is up, itâs just you an me. What are ya worried about anyways? Someone seeing your arse.ââ Â
Y/N glared at him and stood up, undoing her pants. She had them about half way down when Soap walked into the kitchen.Â
âWhoa. Sorra.â He said turning around instantly.Â
âOh for fuck sakes get in here you idiot.â Y/N said and then sat down on the chair in front of Simon.Â
Soap walked by them and he glanced over as Simon took off the bandage around the wound.Â
âJesus lass, ye git thaâ last night?âÂ
âYeah, that patrol. Itâs nothing.âÂ
Simon was inspecting the wound. He frowned and then pressed the edge of it.Â
âWhat the fuck Si.â Y/N said, gripping her leg above the wound.Â
âItâs lookin a little red around the edges. Iâm going to give you a shot of penicillin.âÂ
âYe git a whole drugstore in there ol man?â Soap grinned
âBeen caught out one too many times. Now Iâm always prepared.â Simon grunted as he filled the syringe.Â
He was just plunging the needle into Y/Nâs thigh when Price and Gaz walked in.Â
âWhat the hell happened.â Price asked
He was looking at her with concern and for a moment she thought he might actually still care about her.Â
âHappened last night, just a scratch. Sheâll be fine.â Simon answeredÂ
Y/N was watching him closely and his face went from concern to anger.Â
âI suppose I shouldnât be surprised you didnât tell me Sergeant.âÂ
Y/N felt her heart break. She looked at Simon who gave her leg a small squeeze of encouragement. She straightened her back and looked at Price.
âApologies Captain, I won't let it happen again.â
âDamn right it wonât.âÂ
âCap,â Soap started but Price turned and left the room.Â
âY/N, heâll come around, just give âem time.â Gaz said and Soap gave her an encouraging smile.
âJust hurry up will you. We have a plane to catch.âÂ
The flight to Germany was quiet. Soaps contact had gotten them a private jet which shocked the team. Gaz kept taking selfies of himself drinking champagne and talking about how one day heâd have a plane like this. Everyone could tell she wanted to be left alone so Y/N sat in the back staring out the window.
It was a short flight, and when they landed there was a blacked out SUV waiting for them. A woman got out and told Simon that Konig was waiting for them at the safe house and gave them the keys. The drive took about an hour and the air was tense. Eventually they arrived at a house in seemingly the middle of nowhere, forest surrounding them.Â
Konig was waiting at the front door to greet the team. He was so big he took up the whole door frame and was wearing his signature black mask that covered his entire face except his eyes. As they exited the car Konig spread his arms out and motioned around them.Â
âZis is good, nein?âÂ
Y/N chuckled as her and Simon made their way over to him.Â
âYou never disappoint.â She said to him and he winked at her.Â
âIf only you knew liebling (darling).âÂ
When she reached him he pulled into a massive bone breaking hug, lifting her off her feet and then placing her back down.Â
âVen are you going to leave zis tiny man for me?âÂ
âDonât push it Konig.â Simon grunted beside them.Â
âNein, nein I joke.â He said but then looked over at Y/N and shook his head and whispered. âI donât joke.âÂ
âKonig as much as I adore you, I have a team that Iâm not willing to leave, Ghost included.âÂ
âJa but I can offer you freedom to kill vo you vant. Tempting nein?âÂ
Y/N laughed and shook her head.Â
âAlright you maniac, letâs get you introduced to the team.âÂ
They walked over to where Soap, Gaz and Price were standing. Y/N motioned at Simon to make the introductions. They all shook his hand and though the team seemed a bit taken back by Konig they were all polite and respectful. When they were done with the introductions Konig clapped his hands together.Â
âOk time to drink.â He started heading for the house.Â
Simon followed and Y/N stood back. Gaz walked up to her with concern on his face.Â
âDo we really have to start drinking? Itâs like two in the afternoon!âÂ
Y/N patted him on the back and smiled.Â
âJust pace yourself.â He started to walk towards the house but Y/N grabbed his arm âDonât drink any Jagger until after dinner.â He nodded and turned again but she grabbed his arm âOr Asbach. Or really anything you canât pronounce.âÂ
âY/NâŠâ Gaz said, looking at her and shaking his head.Â
âYouâll be fine.â She said her voice was a bit higher than usual.
âOh god.â He mumbled as he made his way towards the house.Â
Soap had been watching the interaction with amusement but then looked over at Y/N and Price realizing it was just the three of them left. He felt the tension and called out to Gaz to wait up.Â
They stood there for a minute and then Y/N turned to speak to him but he just walked past her without saying a word. She rubbed her hands over her face and held back her tears, then took a deep breath to gather herself before making her way into the house.Â
Several hours later and the team was well past drunk with the exception of Y/N. She had been nursing her one and only beer for hours and everyone else was too drunk to notice. So slowly picked at the label as she was lost in her thoughts, no longer listening to the conversations around her.Â
Gaz and Ghost were signing Come on Eileen and butchering the lyrics while Konig and Soap were attempting to speak to each other but their respective accents were so thick they were going nowhere.Â
And then there was Price, the one member of the team that always remains mostly sober was now way past tipsy. He had his arms crossed and was leaning back in his chair, eyes on Y/N. She felt it and looked up to see him glaring at her and that pushed her over the edge.Â
âIâm going to bedâ she mumbled and got up from the table despite the many protests for her to stay.Â
She had made it down the hall to her room and was about to close the door when a hand reached over and pushed it open. Y/N, knowing who it was, just turned and walked over to her bag, allowing Price into her room.
âListen John, youâre drunk and angry. This isnât the time to do this.âÂ
âYou donât get to call me that anymore.â He said angrily and Y/N rubbed her templesÂ
âFine Captain, Price, Sir.. whatever you want me to call you. Itâs not a good time.âÂ
âI think itâs the perfect time. You said Iâm angry, damn right I am. You lied to me, kept things for me and played games with me. Thank god it was only about sex or I would be even madder than I am now.â
âJust about sex?â Y/N asked her back still to Price.Â
âYeah, no feelings right? Thatâs how you do things? At least thatâs what you told Gaz. I assume now itâs because of Ghost.âÂ
âYou donât know the situation John. Iâm not what you think I am.âÂ
âI told you not to call me that. And youâre exactly what I think you are.â
âAnd whatâs that? A whore? A homewrecker?â She was starting to get mad
âIf the shoe fits.â He huffed, glaring at her with hate in his eyes. âBrings up a good question actually, does he know? I mean I know he doesnât mind you flirting you do it all the time, even with the crazy German down there. But thinking back, the times you got real dirty it was just you and me. So does he know? Or is this like a deal you two have? I mean personally I think itâs fucked up but seeing you now for what you really are I can see youâre morals are non existent and you have absolutely no loyalty to anyone.âÂ
âGet out.â Y/N said a single tear running down her face. âJust get the fuck out.âÂ
John turned towards the door and then stopped.Â
âI want you off the team. Now that I know the only reason youâre here is because Ghost pulled some strings to get you on the team I have no use for you. I shouldâve known. I hand picked every member of this team but then Kate hands me a file that had next to no info and insisted you be on the team. So what was it? Did he refuse to join unless we brought you on? Doesnât matter anyways. I donât want you anymore and if I lose him in the process so be it. I only want soldiers that deserve to be here, that get in on merit and not their ability to ride a cock. As soon as Bako is dealt with youâre gone.âÂ
With that he walked out, slamming the door behind him.Â
Y/Nâs legs gave out from under her and she collapsed as a scream formed in her chest. She lost it. Letting herself completely meltdown. She sat like that for a few moments before big strong hands picked her up and she buried her face into Konigâs chest.
âIâve got vu liebling. Let it vout.â He cooed as he cradled her in his arms.Â
Her body shook as she sobbed for a long time. Konig said nothing, just holding her and rubbing his hand up and down her back.Â
When her sobs subsided, he picked her up and moved her to the bed. She laid down and curled herself into the fetal position.Â
âDo you vant me to leave?â Konig asked softly and she shook her head no. He climbed into the bed next to her and spooned her.Â
âDo you vant to talk about it?âÂ
Y/N shook her head no again so they laid there for about an hour as tears streamed down her face silently. A million thoughts ran through her mind and John's words cut through her over and over. Eventually she turned over so she was face to face with him.Â
âYou serious about wanting me to join Kortac?âÂ
âYou know I voud take you in ein heartbeat. Are you zure that youâd vant to join us though? Itâs pretty different from vhat youâre doing now. Sometimes veâre not zee good guys.âÂ
âI know.â Y/N acknowledged
âAnd vat about Ghost? You vould just leave him? You two have been together for years.âÂ
âMaybe itâs time we work apart.âÂ
âListen, I heard vat your Captain zaid to you at zee end. That vasnât fair. You're ein impressive soldier and if vu go on the market, Kortac vonât be zee only ones vanting you. Your reputation alone is formidable.âÂ
âYeah well youâd be high on my list.âÂ
âDanke. Vu should know though, Keegan joined us not too long ago. Vould zat be an issue?âÂ
âNah, we fought each other, he shot me, I shot him, we worked out our issues and weâre good now . Plus that was a long time ago.âÂ
Konig nodded and then yawned.Â
âI canât believe youâre still awake, you drank more than the rest of the team.âÂ
âLight Veights.â He said Y/N smiled.Â
âAlright you go to bed, I have some things to think about.âÂ
âVu sure vu donât vant me to spend zee night?â He asked as he wrapped his arm around her waist.Â
âYeah that would be perfect! And then in the morning John will see you walk out of the room and heâll call me a whore again.â Y/N said sarcastically.Â
âI vould crush his tiny head. Almost did earlier, came to vu instead.â He said sleepilyÂ
âThank you.â She leaned over and kissed his forehead through his mask. âNow go, before you fall asleep.âÂ
âOk but vu come to me if vu need ja?âÂ
âJaâ Y/N replied as he got up and left the room.Â
 After he left the room Y/N reached for her phone. She put in the number, her finger then hovered over the call button. If she did this, it was real. She was admitting defeat.Â
âYouâre already defeated.â She thought to herself and hit the button.Â
It didnât ring for long before the call connected.Â

VVV
Pairing: König/F! Reader!
Genre: Fluff & Angst!
Word Count: 2,184!
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU, MY LOVE! <3
âOH, HOW I WISH THEYâD LEAVE YOU ALONE.â [Name] sighed as she held the young man close to her chest as his heart beat rapidly. The young couple rested in the treehouse built in Königâs home after school, bothered by yet another bullying by a group of boys who loved to pick on König.Â
A packet of expired milk was thrown at him while the bullies rode away on their bikes. Luckily, the leader didnât dodge the hard throw of the boot at him as [Name] swore up and down while running to collect her shoe and aim once more.Â
Her heart tore when she looked back to see the defeated look on her loveâs face as he used pieces of tissue from his bag to clean his face of stray bits of chunks and even more of them on his shirt. âLet me help you.â She whispered, caressing his damp cheek and holding the roll.
âI am so sorry, Kö. I wish I could help you more.â The young woman held him tighter for a moment as a stray tear from her eye dropped down to his cheek. âMeine Puppe, weint nicht, weint nicht.â âMy doll, don't cry, don't cry.â He lifted himself from her hold and spread his arms around her, comforted by her warm frame as she hugged back, smelling the scent of his freshly dried shirt and breathing it all in. It smelt like sunlight.
âHowâs home, Puppe?â König asked, holding her on his chest as they watched the bird pecking at a wooden branch across the window. âItâs a bit low, Honig.â Honey. âItâs the month of my fatherâs anniversary, after all. Sheâs always in her room unless she has something urgent to do. I have to bring her food sometimes too.â You sighed sadly as you recalled, pushing your head into Königâs warm chest. König rubbed his hand on your back as you teared up.Â
Your father passed while on a mission due to an ambush. You recalled the expression your mother made as his best friend stood at the door, holding a letter with his right hand and an army hat with his left as he requested entry. It was sombre, awaiting breakage.Â
You stepped out into the sitting room from the hallway where you hid on time to see your mother crush to the floor from her seat, holding her screams with her palm as she sobbed. A letter swiped across the room as the friend dropped down to calm her, and you ran to wrap your shaking arms around her while you wept. The news was obvious even if you didn't hear it.Â
âI miss him, Kö.â You said as you wept, grateful for his presence. He tightened his hold on you, whispering sweet nothings in your ear. âI wish he never enlisted. I know he went with what his heart wanted, but Iâm selfish. I wish he had stayed here. With me, with us.â
Königâs heart hurt with every sniff and shake [Name] made as she cried silently, the pain syncing with her action as guilt overcame him.
âThe summerâs going pretty great, right? No more school, no more bullies, and no more assignments! Gosh, Iâm glad we've finally graduated!â You danced around the secluded field of the park while König sat on the grass, a gentle smile on his face as he watched you.Â
You plopped down to him and rested your head on his upper bicep, smiling as you soaked in the freedom of finally doing whatever your heart desired. König smiled at the hopefulness you exuded but couldnât stop the tension he felt from his decision. He thought heâd be brave enough to inform you, as it was a warm day in one of your favourite spots.Â
He had to tell you. He couldnât keep it in any longer.
â[Name]?â He started. âYes?â He felt cold, the air was thick, and he wished to run away, but he felt held onto by stone. Likely his guilt.
âI want to enlist.â âWhat?â [Name] quickly looked at him as shock set over her. She was quick to stand, König following her as she began to unravel. âW-why would you want to?â âI need to find myself, [Name]. I feel that who I am might be there.â König responded, stepping closer to you, who stepped further from him.Â
âWhy canât you find it here? You can apply to be an officer if such a life excites you. Itâs safer, too.â You desperately tried to convince him as your eyes watered at the determination in his. âIch werde es dort finden, Liebling.â Iâll find it there, Darling.
âWhat if something terrible happens to you, Kö? What if you die?â You felt a shiver run through your body when you uttered the word, stressed as you recalled your father and the fate your Love was willing to encounter. âPlease, please don't go. Weâll figure it out here. Please? â You pleaded, crushed when he turned away to avoid you. âI have to go.â He cringed at the wail audible in your throat as you struggled to hold it in, tears threatening to slip out.
You mustered the strength to speak despite the slight trembles your bottom lip began to make. âYou know what this means, König.â His heart dropped, aware. âI donât think I can continue this. Itâs alright if you enlist, but I canât be with you anymore. Itâd be so much to bear.â You tears threatened to pour as you spoke, hurt increasing as each sentence fell from your lips as you watched him bow his head down in defeat. âIâm sorry.â
âYou donât have to apologise; I understand.â König said, sharing in your feelings as he sunk in guilt at the spare tears that coated areas of your cheek. You crushed into him for one more hug, tightening your hold on him as tears freely fell from your eyes. You felt droplets drip onto your scalp and forehead as he held you tightly in his arms.Â
You clinged onto one anotherâs warmth for one last time under the hot summer sun.
Paper drank the ink of your pen as you struggled to write the letter once more. Would he find it inappropriate to see it was from you and toss it away?
âUgh.â You groaned, throwing the stained paper away. Who were you kidding? Why would he want to see you again after you left him?
You groaned at the low rumble in your stomach, rolling your eyes as you stood. âI forgot to go grocery shopping, didn't I? Fast food? Fast food.â
You stood in the line, surveying the lit menu above you as many others did, watching as an advertisement passed from slide to slide.
âCookie Crumble & Caramel at âŹ3.55!â Nah, too sweet for the moment.
âSweet & Spicy chicken with []âs glazed sauce and large fries at âŹ10.99!â Iâm not really in the mood.
âDouble Double offer of large and regular fries, two large burgers of choice, and a box of chicken with two large smoothies of choice at âŹ25.99!â Too much. I don't have anyone to eat this with.
You moved back and bumped into someone. âIâm so-rry.â You paused your words, eyes widening. You thought you'd never feel him again; only in dreams did you believe you'd see him once more.Â
âKönig.â
â[Name].â
Words ran dry in your mouth, and the awkwardness clutched onto you. He felt the same, eyes rotating towards a painting, then back at you.
Gosh, he got even more handsome.
The sweatshirt he wore did his body justice. His muscles peeked underneath the thin material, and the fabric stopped right underneath a muscle and cozed well. You bet that you could count the number of veins on sight if you were just a bit nearer. His abs are prominent as well, with just a bit of fat peeking out on his lower stomach. His sweatpants were average and hugged his waist comfortably.Â
Forgetting your hunger for oil, another one occupied your mind.Â
âHow are you?â You asked, slightly flustered as you tried to calm your mind. âIâm good. How are you?â He responded with a slight smile.Â
Gosh, you got even more beautiful.
Your face, although a bit mature, was lush as ever with life, your voice more pleasant than the one he grew accustomed to hearing whenever his anxiety set in, and your body, days, remained a pleasurable sight in his eyes. Each slight movement of it, from your breath to your gaze on him filled him with an unspeakable want. You were more firm in your step, too, adulthood having seeped in.Â
âAre you on break?â You asked, inwardly wincing as you felt the question was too personal when it was audible. âJa, actually.â He responded calmly, himself tearing away from his want as well, cooling your nerves.Â
âItâs going well so far.â König said, and you were relieved that you wouldn't drag on the topic for much longer.Â
âIâm glad to see that youâre well, König.â You smiled forcefully, stepping forward when the man in front of you left the counter. While ordering, you couldnât help but feel nervous. He could see you, hear you, and certainly see how nervous you were. He always saw through you.Â
âHere.â You brought your credit card out, but it was held. âLet me.â König said, giving his card to the cashier. âNo, no, it's alright.â You stopped insisting, finding it inappropriate to the people behind you, thankful.Â
âTo-go or here?â âHere.â The connection between your brain and mouth cut the minute you saw him.
âThank you.â You choked out, holding your ticket. You wondered if you should just inform a worker that you were planning to get the meal to-go when they called you for it on the red tray, but when Königâs frame in the distance walked in your direction, you didn't want to leave.
âYouâre welcome.â König observed you from across the table. His gaze was piercing, confident from that of his younger self. You couldn't help the feeling of wanting it to continue despite your nerves.
âHow long do you intend on staying here?â You asked, looking elsewhere for a moment as you calmed yourself. âA few weeks.â He responded, gazing at you.
âHow's everyone?â âMum's alright. Sheâs decided to take up baking in a club among the women in the neighbourhood. Your mum and her make an amazing team. You should really try out the cupcake recipe they made together.â You chuckled, amused yet unsurprised at how he still cared for your family. Ties weren't broken as easily as you thought.
âI tried it out last night. Ja, it's pretty good. Our mothers make a formidable team.â König chuckled as fond memories engulfed him.Â
Looking at you, he remembered the silly declaration he made to his mother in his teen years after a few forbidden sips of beer brought by his cousins, slurring as she held a warm towel to his forehead while his head rested on her hips, swallowing her scolding for the morning with scrunched brows.
âI'll marry her. You'll see. She's amazing, Mama. Perfect in every way for me. I love her so much. Mrs. [Name] [K/L/N]. It's so fitting, isn't it, Mother?â
âI'm going to get in a lot of trouble for this, aren't I?â
Determination swept his mind for a moment, his boyish sentence ever relevant as he took in your presence. Younger him was correct; his last name suited you.
âI can't wait to see what they will come up with next.â You chuckled, breaking him out of his thoughts. âI love the bond they have sustained over time, though.âÂ
âWell,â You awkwardly peered down at the ticket you held and looked at the TV nearby, âour mealsâ ready. I'll go get it.â You moved to step out, but König held your arm. âIâll get it. I'm much closer to the counter.â âItâs alright, I donât mind.â âI don't either. Youâve done a lot for me today. Let me, please.âÂ
Caution was tempting to throw to the wind the more he held your arm, his warm hand reminding you of past touches, igniting a flame in you.Â
König gazed at you a moment before he let go, leaving with a quick smile from you. âSee? It didn't take aeons to arrive, and I'm alright.â You teased, placing his food first on his side before your own. His dish was massive in comparison to his own, but you didn't expect anything else from him. For a moment, you remembered the Kartoffelpuffer you made whenever you got a chance to for him. His amount was larger by one or two pancakes, and he always commented on how good it was.
âI'm glad Iâve gotten to see you.â König blurted out, looking directly at you with a tinge of nervousness he could never hide from you. âIâm glad weâve met today as well.â You softly smiled, words hidden underneath your gaze at him.
If it werenât for the public space you both were seated in, more would have been expressed.
Potatoes are God's chosen vegetable! They can be turned into nearly anythinggg!!! (â  â Ëâ  â Âłâ Ëâ )â ⥠âĄ(â >â  â àšâ  â <â )â âĄ

A Miracle Too Good To Be True (one-shot)
Leon exits the elevator, expecting to be confronted by yet another abomination that mutated itself beyond recognition. Instead he's greeted with a miraculous sight for sore eyes, an old friend that must be in Valdelobos for the same reasons Leon is.
But sometimes you have to be wary of a miracle too good to be true.
(This isn't a first draft but also isn't quite the final version either. Eventually I'll post a more complete version of it to AO3 that's more polished and has more of the Krauser fight on screen, as well as a longer conversation at the end. I'm just too excited to wait to post this đ€)
-
Leon would be lying if he said he wasn't annoyed when the elevator doors opened and he saw that Luis wasn't alone this time. Even though she was small and huddled in a corner behind Luis, who was shaking the container with the suppressant and talking, Leon's eyes were drawn to the little girl immediately because she stuck out like a sore thumb. Leon may have been inclined to think she was Luis's daughter if it weren't for the fact she looked nothing like him. She looked nothing like anyone in Valdelobos. She was the first child, dead or alive, that Leon had seen during the mission. Her hair was a bright red, and her skin was pale; not the sickly pallor complexion some infected took on, but simply the healthy pale shade that tends to come packaged with red hair. Leon couldn't get a good look at her face, but he could see that her clothing was also unusual. She wore a bright yellow raincoat that appeared to be too big for her small body and a pair of pink sneakers. Nothing like the dreary old clothes he'd seen on Valdelobos's other residents.
Leon wasn't upset at the girl, nor was he annoyed by her specifically. It was just that an extra person meant another layer added to his already difficult mission. Get Ashley back from Saddler. Protect Luis so he can remove their plagas in his lab. (While Luis wasn't exactly a basket case, he's still not the greatest in fights.) And then, protect a child. A child Luis was tight-lipped about, only saying that her name was Lucia, they had to take her with them, and that she wasn't infected. Leon accepted it, but he still wasn't happy about the new wrench in his plans.
But much to Leon's surprise, Lucia's presence didn't interfere with anything. Half the time he forgot she was even with them. During quieter moments she either walked behind Luis, clinging to him like glue, or rode on his back. When there were fights that couldn't be avoided, she ran away from Luis and found a crevice or nook she could squeeze into, only coming out of hiding when the sounds of gunfire ceased and Luis called out that it was safe.
Luis wasn't entirely useless either. He didn't contribute much when they were just fighting ganados, but once they started running into invisible bugs, Luis was suddenly more useful than Leon. Leon heard buzzing and looked around, scrutinizing and shooting at rocks, shooting into the air repeatedly like a madman, and nothing happened. Luis heard buzzing and after just one or two shots from his Red9 a bug would suddenly become visible and then fall to the ground, dead.
Somehow they made it to the elevator miraculously unscathed. Lucia didn't have a scratch on her, and the only injuries Leon and Luis acquired were superficial and easily treated with herbs.
âOkay, Luis, time for you to finally give me some answers,â Leon demands after he's treated his wounds, reloaded his arsenal, and gotten the elevator moving. âTalk.â
âLucia was an Umbrella test subject,â Now that Leon really has him against a wall, almost literally, Luis drops his frustrating habit of dodging questions and isn't beating around the bush at all. Lucia is standing in front of Luis, and he covers her ears with his hands as he starts to talk. Leon almost laughs. The kid's been watching them brutally fight their way through the mines, seeing god knows how many âpeopleâ die in gory ways, and yet Luis is trying to shield her from a conversation. âShe was an orphan Umbrella scooped up from foster care. The parasite implanted in her was a slow growing one, it would take years to fully mature. So it was decided she needed to be treated differently from other test subjects to ensure behavioral issues wouldn't be a long-term hindrance. I was her⊠handler, for lack of a better word. I pretended to be her adoptive father and built a relationship with her, that way she wouldn't resist procedures or tests if I reassured her. At least, it was supposed to be pretend. I was too soft for the job, I got attached and actually did love her as a daughter. I left Umbrella when her parasite was nearly mature and she would die if I didn't remove it soon. I managed to smuggle her out. I promised her she would never be anyone's experiment again. I promised that, once I removed the parasite implanted in her, there would be no more needles. I promised she would never be a test subject again. That's how I ended up working for Los Illuminados. It was a real deal with the devil type of situation. Saddler said that if I didn't work for him, she would be given to another team to use as a test subject. But as long as I worked hard, he wouldn't let anyone touch a hair on her head. What was I supposed to do? If I left the village with her, Umbrella would eventually find us and I would be murdered and Lucia would be at the mercy of evil scientists again. And if I stuck around here but refused to work for Los Illuminados, same thing. They would take her away from me by force and she'd become the newest test subject to torture. Working for Los Illuminados was the only way I could keep my promise.â
âI still don't get you though. Why are you helping us? You just want to keep your⊠daughter safe and get out of here, why not just do that now instead of staying longer to help out me and Ashley?â
âBecause what I did was selfish. I worked for Los Illuminados just to save my daughter. I contributed to the deaths of hundreds to save a single lifeâŠâ Luis pauses and looks away from Leon for a moment, trying to wrangle his thoughts. Suddenly he looks like shitâ or maybe he's looked like shit this entire time and Leon just hasn't looked closely enough to notice until nowâ regardless, Luis looks weathered beyond his years. There's far more gray in his hair than a man of his age should have, there's dark circles under his eyes, his face is gaunt and ragged⊠It's a shocking contrast to the little girl in front of him, with her wavy red hair, pale skin with a healthy pink tint, and full cheeks. Leon is sure that at least some of Luis's worn appearance can be attributed to him regularly skipping meals to make sure his daughter never went to bed with an empty belly. âAt the time, I felt justified. I never made any promises to keep the world safe, I made a promise to keep her safe. But still, maybe it was wrong. Maybe saving hundreds of lives would outweigh the wrongness of breaking one promise. But I can't turn back time, I have to live with what I have and haven't done, and helping you is my way of-â
Lucia suddenly slaps Luis's hands away from her ears.
âMonster! Outside the elevator.â
Leon looks at her skeptically, and Luis explains. âThe thing about her being an Umbrella test subject? Yeah, she's got a sixth sense that senses BOW's. That's how I was able to shoot all those invisible bugs easy, she told me where to aim because she could see them,â Done addressing Leon, Luis kneels down to talk to Lucia. âWhat kind of monster?â
âNot the ganados or bugs, someone like⊠MĂ©ndez? Saddler? Not them, like them.â
âGreat. I was starting to worry that we'd make it outside without having to fight one more mutating freak,â Leon quips, double checking that all of his weapons and herbs are ready to go. âYou stay in here, I'll go check it out.â
âMajor Krauser?â Luis hears from within the elevator. âWhat the hell are you doing here?â
Luis is aware of who Krauser is. He doesn't need to ask Lucia if the man Leon is talking to is the monster she's sensing, he knows that Krauser was host to a dominant plaga. What he doesn't know is how Leon knows this guy. And what Leon doesn't seem to know is that this guy is, in fact, the BOW Lucia warned him about.
âLong time no see, rookie.â
âWhat? Why are you here?â The dominant tone of Leon's voice is still disbelief, but there's also a hint of relief to it. âAre you on some other top secret operation to stop Los Illuminados that no one bothered to tell me about?â
âWere you really all by yourself in that elevator, pretty boy?â Pretty boy? Luis already had enough questions, he did not need to hear that. He dares to poke his head around to catch a glimpse of what's happening. Krauser slowly circles Leon, eyeing him up and down like he's a piece of meat. âI wanted to see my pretty boy again, but that was just a nice bonus. I came down here to recover some stolen goods, and kill the rat that took them. I thought he was with you.â
âYou mean Luis?â Krauser's back is currently turned to the elevator and Leon glances over his shoulder at Luis who is gesturing wildly, making a knife slicing motion against his neck. Leon seems to pick up all of Luis's intended messages. âI killed him. Found out he was Umbrella, and you know what those assholes did to me and my friend, so I killed him.â
Luis feels a wave of relief wash over him. Leon understood Luis's message, and he's playing the situation perfectly.
âJust like that? You really snapped and killed him that easily? That doesn't sound like the rookie I knew,â Leon's hand inches towards his knife. âBut maybe you have changed. How about you show me what you're made of now?â
Luis readies his pistol, and then watches helplessly as Leon and Krauser begin to fight. He wants to help Leon. It's the first time a fight has truly been neck and neck. Luis was used to watching in awe as Leon decisively won every fight, watching a fight with no clear winner made his stomach churn. Leon should be sweeping the floor with this guy like usual. He wants to step in to tip the scales in Leon's favor, but both of them are moving far too fast for Luis to get a clear shot. If they're still talking, Luis can't hear it over the clanging sounds of knives clashing.
He whispers to Lucia to turn around or go back into the corner of the elevator, but she doesn't listen and continues watching anxiously. Luis doesn't argue further, he can't risk drawing Krauser's attention to himself and Lucia. Right now Krauser believes that Luis is dead and Leon has no one to back him up, he's not going to throw that advantage away.
Eventually Luis gets an opportunity to act. Krauser has Leon on the ropes. He's dangling over the abyss, and will fall to his death when Krauser takes his knife to his hands that are desperately holding onto the edge of the platform. Luis springs out of his hiding spot, shooting a volley at Krauser's hand and hoping at least one hits its target.
Krauser isn't as surprised by the âsurpriseâ attack as Luis hoped. A bullet does appear to graze his arm, but he doesn't even flinch, let alone drop his weapon.
âI knew I smelled a rat,â Luis at least accomplished his main goal, Krauser's attention is now focused on him, giving Leon time to climb back up onto the platform. âAnd I knew that rookie wouldn't have had it in him to just cut someone down.â
-
As the arm around his throat tightens and his vision begins to blur, Luis desperately prays to a god he doesn't believe in that Lucia followed his instructions and stayed in the elevator and wasn't watching all of this. But suddenly Krauser releases him from the chokehold and shoves him to the ground. Not prepared to do anything to break the fall, Luis groans in pain as his body hits the ground, and there's a crunching sound as his glasses are smashed between the ground and his face. But broken glasses are the least of his worriesâŠ
âYou know what, rookie?â Krauser walks over and puts a foot on Luis's back, lest he start thinking there was even a chance he could get to his feet and flee. âKilling this rat was my job, but I think I'll let you do the honors instead. Come finish him off. Think about what his employer did to you and your friend. Think about what he did to us in the jungle. You remember. All those things Javier sent at us were from Umbrella Europe. Come get your revenge. Then you and I can settle our score on a more fitting battlefield I've been preparing just for you,â Leon takes a step towards Luis, and Krauser takes his foot off of Luis. âThat's right. Come finish him, then I'll be waiting for you in our arena.â
Luis hopes that Leon is considering the offer. Neither of them are in great shape, Luis can't imagine a situation in which they both leave alive. The best he can hope for is that Leon comes and kills him, buying himself some time to patch himself up, get Lucia from the elevator, and then fight Krauser with better odds than he has in his current state.
Suddenly Luis hears and feels a heavy object hit the ground a couple feet away from him. Luis opens his eyes in time to see another object, a brick, come hurling towards Krauser, making contact with his shoulder. Leon and Krauser both look confused.
Lucia. It must have been. A normal girl of her age wouldn't have been able to throw a brick that far, but Lucia isn't a normal girl. Luis looks up at the platform where he left her, and up at the various crates, but doesn't see her. She must have hidden herself. Hopefully Krauser can't see her either.
Finally a third brick hits, and it's a bullseye, bonking the top of Krauser's head. Krauser's far too tough to be incapacitated by a single brick, but he is annoyed.
âI don't have time to play with some brick throwing coward who won't show his face!â Krauser yells. âI'll be waiting for you, Leon. Your little friends are welcome to come to the battlefield too, but they'll have to show their faces and play fair.â
The moment Krauser vanishes from sight, the only people who exist in Luis's world are him and Lucia. He ignores both his own injuries and Leon's as he scrambles to his feet and rushes to Lucia, who came out of her hiding spot. He fusses over her for a couple minutes. He knew that Krauser didn't touch her, but it didn't stop the paranoia. Then he heaps the praise on her for her quick thinking and bravery. Once he's satisfied that Lucia is okay, he finally turns his attention to the slumped over Leon, kneeling on the ground next to him.Â
âYou better not be dying on me. I watched you walk off a chainsaw injury, a few stab wounds aren't going to keep you down,â Luis says, looking over Leon and then readying some supplies to tend to his wounds. Leon's eyes flutter open and he, for reasons he will choose to believe are related entirely to some blood loss clouding his mind and the emotional impact of seeing Krauser again, finds himself looking up at Luis and leaning up to kiss him. Luis gently pulls away and tries to focus on the wound on his shoulder, the rejection making Leon pout. âWe can do that again when you're not at risk of bleeding out, okay?â
Leon mumbles out a yes and lets Luis focus on tending his wounds, the worst of them being stitched up by surprisingly delicate hands, the rest getting a can of first-aid spray. Then he gets Leon to eat a few herbs. It's only when he's done that he realizes he had an audience, Lucia sat cross legged with a concerned expression a couple feet away.
âIs he okay?â
âHe will be, princess,â Luis reassures with a pat on the head. âHe just needs a bit of rest.â
âYeah, I'll be fine,â Leon says, already a bit perked up from the herbs. âThanks to you and those bricks. Me and your dad would have been toast if you hadn't stepped in.â
Lucia beams at the praise and scoots over, resting her head on Leon's uninjured shoulder. âWe can rest here. There's no more monsters.â
Luis is shocked by her behavior, not only talking to someone but trying to cuddle. Due to her having spent the majority of her life in an Umbrella laboratory or Valdelobos, she was scared of people. MĂ©ndez had tried talking to her when they first came back to the village, before he was infected, but she wouldn't say a word to him and would try to hide behind Luis. Luis was the only person she wasn't scared of. But even though he wants to encourage this breakthrough, he doesn't want her to pester Leon. Before Luis tells Lucia to give Leon space, Leon gently pushes her head off his shoulder, but only temporarilyâ he moves his arm to wrap it around the back of the girl's body and then leans his head against hers. She's exhausted and can barely keep her eyes open. Luis makes himself comfortable on the other side of her and idly runs his fingers through her hair.
âCan you promise me something?â Luis asks after Lucia eventually dozes off.
âDepends.â
âIf something happens to me, don't leave Lucia behind. I know you already have a lot on your shoulders without a kid to look after, but-â
âThat's a promise I can make. It's not like she's deadweight, she saved our lives. We would have walked right into an ambush and Krauser would have killed us if it weren't for her powers. He would have killed both of us if she hadn't started throwing those bricks. She's a good kid.â
âWhat about me, Leon? Am I a good man? Despite the shitty life I've led?â
âIf you're a shitty person, so am I. I'm not a government agent because I want to be. I was in Raccoon City that day,â Leon doesn't need to say the date, Luis is smart enough to know. âI found a little girl there. She was implanted with G. I got her a vaccine, we got out of the city just in time. Then the government came and ârescuedâ us. We were taken into custody. They told me Sherry was valuable because of her infection. They had scientists itching to experiment on her. But I was valuable too, surviving Raccoon City showed I had a lot of potential. They told me that if I worked for them, they wouldn't experiment on Sherry. So I did, even though I had learned the government aren't the good guys. I've killed people who hadn't done anything wrong because the government told me to. I've been on missions with an unnecessarily high amount of civilian casualty because the government didn't care enough to minimize who was caught in the crossfire. Every time I rescue someone, I wonder if I'm actually rescuing them or if it's like when I was rescued and I'm just taking them from one nightmare to another. But I just keep following my orders, because Sherry will get hurt if I don't. A lot of people are dead or fucked up because their lives meant less to me than Sherry's life.â
âShit,â Luis's eyes start tearing up. âI haven't even thought about what the hell I'm going to do when we make it out of here. What will happen to her.â
âI won't let the government get their claws into her, I promise. Don't know if you've heard of the BSAA or TerraSave, but they're organizations who deal with bioterrorism and victims, and aren't following the US government's orders. I've got friends in both. I'll write down contact information for you. You'll have to take Lucia and run before the helicopter comes to get me and Ashley to make sure you're not on the government's radar.â
âThat's a disappointment-â Luis cuts himself off, wanting to reword his statement. âNo, that doesn't sound right. It's a relief there's help and hope for a safe future for Lucia and I. But it's disappointing that you're not in that future. I wanted more opportunities to kiss you when we're not filthy and injured.â
âThis isn't something I can promise, but maybe I'll try and take a look at my situation again and see if there's any way I can get out without putting Sherry in danger. If I'm ever at a point where it's safe, I'll find you again.â

A Thief and An X-Man
Relationship: Remy LeBeau/Gambit x Reader
Fandom: X-Men
Request: Yes by Anon
Warnings: Fluff
Word Count: 2,738
Main Masterlist: Here
X-Men Masterlist: Here
Summary: Southern charm is a thing. Something that Remy LeBeau has taken advantage of over the years. All it took was one little X-Man to throw him off his rhythm apparentlyâŠ
How everyone found themselves in their own current predicament, only the universe knows. The tomfoolery that had followed them during their journey was like something straight out of a superhero book.
Remy panted and hugged his side as he rested against the brick wall behind him. His partner in crime, albeit a reluctant one, mirrored his actions against the other wall of the alleyway. She was glaring hard in between her pants in an attempt to catch her breath.
âYou just couldnât help yourself, could you Cajun?â There were shouts and the pounding of footsteps getting closer and closer.
âWhat can I say, chere? I like pretty things.â The weight of the jewels in his pocket weighed down under her gaze.
âWeâre being chased because you couldnât keep your greedy little hands off of stuff that doesnât belong to you!â Her words were almost drowned completely out by the pounding of footsteps.
Making a split second decision, Remy grabbed her hand and began to haul the woman towards a fire escape that was already pulled down. She was confused, but faced with the possibility of the men that were chasing them catching up? She would take the fire escape with the thief. As soon as they had made it up onto the roof of whatever building this was, Remy leaned over the edge to get a look at their personal mob that now ran by the building and alleyway they had disappeared into. With a smirk, he laid down on the cool tiles below.
âWe safe now,â she questioned, almost ready to run again.
âI wouldnât be layinâ down if we werenât. Now would I, chere?â His eyes slipped closed as he relaxed as much as he could.
âOh, of course. Because I should be trusting the person who got us into this mess, to be honest and truthful when he is a known Thief, to get us out of this mess. Wolverine needs to come and extract me right now.â Her grumbling was followed by the sound of her trying to use her transponder. With a frustrated groan, it clattered to the ground when it would not work.
For three days, she had been stuck in Louisiana with the leader of the Thieves Guild. A mission that she had been sent on alone to help the X-Men get a relic that needed to be kept out of the wrong hands. Had they been able to do it solo, they would have. But the Thieves were the only people who had made it to where they needed her to go, and made it back out. Thus, an unlikely alliance was made. And from that point forward, she had been subjected to the rugged charms of the one they call Gambit.
From the second she walked up to him, she had been the focus of his flirtations. Maybe it was the fact that she was a new pretty face for him. Or maybe it was that fact that she was âforbidden fruitâ being an X-Man. Whatever it was, for the past three weeks, she had been subject to every one liner and flirty comment.
In all honesty, she did not mind the banter that they usually had. It was better than being with someone that did not talk much, like a certain X-Man she knew. But it was annoying once he got into a flirtatious mood.
âOoo, chere. Did it hurt when ya fell from heaven? You look so angelic.â
âShut up, Cajun.â
âHere, let Gambit take care oâ dat for ya. Ainât no reason to sweat your pretty brow.â
âIf Gambit donât give me back my tools, Iâm not gonna sweat my brow over putting him down.â
It was like this for three days. Any chance he got, he took. She could see that he was just doing it to get a rise out of her, since she refused to be another notch on his belt. Even though some times, she could almost swear there was something genuine about the affectionate quips he made. A sharp bark pulled her from her thoughts and brought her attention to the transponder that was still down by her feet. Careful not to step on it, she opened it to be met with the authoritative voice of a certain Canadian calling her name.
âWhere have you been? You were supposed to check in an hour ago, bub.â He was upset, that was for sure. But after all these years, she could hear through the layers to his tone and knew it was just because he cared for his team like his own family.
âWolverine, Iâm fine. We ran into a snag but we should be getting back on track soon. The communicator wouldnât work earlier or I would have checked in at the appropriate time,â came her retort. A groan trailed into a sigh on the other end of the line.
âJust be safe, kid. Let me know when you get the relic. Weâll be waiting to extract you when you need it.â His voice lowered in volume, and his tone shifted.
âWill do, Wolvie. Just gotta get this Cajun to actually get me to the place, then weâll be on our way home.â With that, the two X-Men signed off from each other. She sat there for a moment longer as she began to rub her temples. The evening breeze was welcome against her flushed face.
âSo you and da Wolverine, huh?â Gambitâs sudden ask brought her out of her head quick.
âWhat? Me and him? No, god no. We just work well together. Heâs the one that got me into the school. Got me into the X-Men,â she stood, and looked around the night sky that was sprinkled with lights. âYou gonna take me where I need to go, or do I need to find another thief to do it?â
âOh, you wound me, chere. Suppose if ya did that, I could call another X-Man to grab the item with me instead.â He teased, finally rising to his feet.
With fluid movements, like that of a skilled ballet dancer, Remy looked towards the streets again. The mutant dubbed them safe enough, and began his descent down the same fire escape that he had them go up on. She followed after him, always maintaining a bit of distance between them as they went closer and closer to where they needed to go.
A well lit mansion greeted the two mutants after a while. This was the house that she had been searching for. She was finally here. Once again, she followed Gambitâs lead. After all, he and his guild made it out of here before with their pockets loaded. They could do it one more time.
Gambit caused a minor explosion on one of the windows in the back of the building making her flinch as she expected the commotion to begin. And yet, there was nothing. No alarms, no dogs barking or humans shouting. He turned back to the stunned woman with nothing short of a pompous smirk on, before he climbed through the window. She took his hand to help stabilize her while she was slipping through the opening.
They had ended up in the west wing of the mansion, only a few doors down from the room that they needed to go to. She had no time to be stunned at how efficient this mutant was seeing as he was already grabbing her hand to pull her through the house. Their journey was cut short when they spotted guards walking towards them in the hallway. Remy tucked them both against a wall that was out of sight, but knew they did not have long. Scanning around, he did not see a spare room or broom closet. He tried not to show the panic on his face, but he could feel his heart speeding up.
âThey not supposed to be here, chere. We gotta go back out.â But when he tried to leave, the sounds of quiet conversation and boots on the hardwood floor were far too close now.
âGo with me,â was all the warning that the Cajun was given. In an instant, she made him press her against the wall. What he did not expect even more than that, was the fact that she had him engaged in a full lip lock. Stunned did not even begin to describe what he was feeling. Here this woman was, kissing him voluntarily, after spending the last three days shutting him down at every chance.
Losing himself in the moment that he wished would never end, Remy kept one of his hands on the wall near her head, while the other went to the dip of her waist. Her hands came up and pressed him even closer by the nape of his neck. This was a dream. A wonderful, beautiful dream that he did not want to wake from. Unfortunately, that was not in the cards for him. Right as he was truly enjoying the moment, a wolf whistle caught his attention. But she did not let him turn around. Instead, she pressed his face into her neck while she shouted at the guards that had finally rounded the corner.
âCad Ă©? Cad atĂĄ tĂș ag fĂ©achaint air?â Now that was a language Remy had never heard spoken. His confused face was stuck in the crook of her neck, while he felt her shooing the men away. Apparently, they were just as confused as he was, but left without complaint. As soon as they were away from the par of mutants, she pushed Remy back a bit.
âNow, where in da world is dat language from, chere? Gambit ainât never heard nothinâ like it in his whole life.â He was a bit out of breath but it was understandable.
âI used to go visit my grandmother in Ireland when I was a kid. She made me fluent in Gaelic.â She was just as out of breath as him, but neither called attention as to the reason why.
They both sat there for a moment, not moving from their spots where they were oh so close to one another. This was the closest they had been physically the entire time they had been working together. And it was breaking down barriers that had been put in place for their own sanity and safety.
âLetâs get going before someone else catches us and we canât get out of it as easily,â she stated breathily. For her own sake, she needed to do something, and soon before she could not stop herself. Remy nodded to himself, to confirm that he had heard her or to shake himself out of his own stupor, who knows. But soon, they were back on track with him grabbing her hand and leading them to the room once more.
Gambit made quick work of picking the lock, and then they were inside. Encased in glass was a small pendant and necklace. Unassuming at first, but they knew better. This one little artifact was responsible for so much suffering around the world, and more of it if they did not get it out of non-mutant hands. Remy approached the glass case and looked for a way to get it open without disturbing it too much. But the sound of glass shattering spooked him, made him jump back from the shards.
âYou were taking too long.â She shrugged, turning back to look at the pendant. Pulling out her own case for the necklace, she tried very hard not to touch the jewel in the center. Once it was secured, Remy did another look out to make sure that the coast was clear.
âLetâs get going, chere. Donât want no unwelcome guests tagginâ along now.â The two mutants slipped out the same way that they entered. It was such a shock for her, not having any hangups during a mission. Usually it was every chance the universe got to make something go wrong, it did. So to have one go this smoothly was a welcomed change of pace.
They fled into the night before them, and did not look back until they were safe in the heart of New Orleans once more. Lights, music, and conversation drowned out any and all thoughts they had for just a minute or two. Instead of going somewhere quiet and out of the way, Gambit ended up leading them further not the heart of the city to a late night cafe.
As soon as they sat down, he ordered something for them both to eat and drink, but she was not paying any attention to him. Instead, she was trying to figure out how she was going to discreetly call her team back at the mansion to go home. For some reason though, it was not working right now.
âThis thing has been finicky the entire time Iâve been here. Doesnât know whether or not it wants to work when I need it to.â She lamented, tossing the item down onto the table before them.
âSo, now that you got whatcha came here for, just gonna head home? Like that?â There was a mournful tone to his voice that did not miss her ears. Neither one needed to say exactly why he sounded so upset at her leaving, or rather neither wanted to acknowledge why he was upset.
âWell, thereâs always someone else that needs saving. Or a disaster that needs to be avoided,â she said, watching his face carefully.
âRight, rightâŠâ he trailed off, not quite knowing where to take it from here. Thankfully, a waitress came by with two bowls, and two drinks for them to enjoy.
âWhat on earth did you order for me?â Poking her spoon around in the stew like dish in front of her, she arched an eyebrow and looked at the Cajun.
âDat right der is what we call gumbo, chere. Itâs real good. Gotta use dat piece oâ baguette at the end though.â When she still did not eat, he tried a different tactic. âCome on. Humor me before ya head on home, chere?â
If you ever asked her, she would vehemently deny that she had given in to the soft way he pleaded with her. Bringing the spoonful of hot stew and rice to her lips, a symphony of flavors erupted on her tongue. It was unlike anything she had ever eaten. The chicken, sausage and shrimp were so tender and perfectly cooked. The veggies melted, and the rice was the perfect binder.
While she was busy devouring her food, Remy was taking that time to lock in on her joyful face. If this was going to be the last time he saw her, he was going to make it count. But his day dreaming was interrupted by the transponder on the table suddenly jumping to life. As fast as she could, she set down her spoon, wiped her face, and grabbed the item.
âWolverine,â she began, âlisten, I got the necklace. Ready when you are on the extraction.â
Her eyes drifted over to the man in front of her who was trying very hard not to eavesdrop on the conversation happening two feet away from him. The long she listened to Wolverine talk, and watched Remyâs face, the more her heart moaned in pain. It was an unusual feeling to have, especially for someone that she swore she did not get along with or that she had not known for too long.
âKid, weâll be there in a couple hours, okay? Weâre gonna track you by your communicator and then weâll-â
âActually, Wolvie,â she cut the man off, âI think Iâm gonna stick around New Orleans for a few days. Just to make sure that nobody comes looking for this thing. Iâll let you know when itâs safe to come home.â
The transponder was shut off fast, and tucked into one of the pockets of her uniform. When she looked up again, the startled face of Gambit greeted her. His eyes were wider than the bowls they were eating out of, but she paid it no mind. Picking up her spoon again, she sent a teasing smirk across the table.
âHope you donât mind that Iâll be sticking around a little more.â She brought another spoonful of gumbo to her mouth while Gambit took a minute to recover.
âNot at all, chere. Not at all.â

â throughout heaven and earth
- gojo satoru x reader
a sudden mission. a curse beyond your grade. all hell breaks loose when gojo realizes that there are hidden machinations behind the incident that befalls you
genre: feral!gojo, injured!reader, hurt/comfort, exponential fluff !
note: we need a gojo who will go ballistic against the higher-ups for dragging you in their mess :) refer to this for the reader's CT, and this loosely takes place after the events in heaven's fury, and the epilogue is based on this very brilliant idea :))
a part of gojo's love entries
general masterlist
Something isnât right.
You shouldâve known it was strange when they assigned you with a sudden mission with little to no briefing. You shouldâve gone through with your gut feeling and informed Satoru about it.
Because if you did... now you wouldnât be running for your life like this, frantically dodging the hacks and slashes of this chainsaw-like cursed spirit that was evidently not a Grade 2 as what you were told.
âAh!â you yelped as the sharp ends of its body struck your shoulder, leaving you bleeding openly. This was no small woundâit was deep enough to make you stagger.
You had to do something about this because merely avoiding wouldnât save your life. You had to come back in one piece. You have toâ for your baby and Satoru.
What if I canât? The sheer thought made you tremble. Your baby boy was still so little and he needed you more than anyone, and Satoru...
God, you couldnât bear to leave him alone. Not again. He couldn't handle losing someone again, not after all he had already lost.
You gripped your whipâyour cursed weaponâtightly amidst your bleeding hand. You had barely enough cursed energy for a domain expansion that guaranteed a sure-hit effect. You have one shot. This was all or nothing.
But you werenât sure if it would work, because you were on the verge of exhaustion, and this was a special grade curse. Your domain expansion was definitely not as refined as the Satoruâs, and this monster was an enemy of his class.
âSatoru...â your voice came out in a sob. You were terribly scared, and honestly you were entitled to. You werenât even sure you would survive this at all, and all you could think now was your husbandâs silly grin and how much you loved him.
And right afterwards, you saw the cursed spirit lunging at you, and with everything left that you had, you screamedâ
âDomain Expansion: Transcendent Veil!â
âGojo-sensei, p-please come back... Nee-san is...!â
Satoru was in Kyoto when he received that call from Megumiâ and that moment shattered his world as he knew it.
âMegumi, what is it?â
âShe w-was sent on a mission... but then it's a special gradeâ a-and... she... she e-exorcised it b-butâ!â
He teleported without second thought to Tokyo. His mind was blank, the only sound he could hear was his own violent heartbeats, and his fists were clenched so tightly.
âThe cursed spirit got her too⊠It made a cut on her neck.â
His most precious wife... the one person he must protect at all cost, was now possiblyâ
âMegumi.â He saw him sitting on the hallway of the headquartersâ hospital the with his son on his lapâyou had asked him to look after your babyâand the boy looked up to him.
âGojo-sensei...â Megumi appeared shaken, and seeing that, Satoru immediately took his child from his hands, pulling the little kid into his embrace.
âGo back home, Iâll stay here.â
In all his life, Megumi had never seen Gojo Satoru as calm as he was now. He looked fearsome, as if he was in the battlefield.
âIchiji.â Satoru turned to the other man rigidly standing next to Megumi, causing him to stiffen up even more. He didnât say anything further as he pat his little sonâs back, and yet Ichiji knew all the same what he wanted from him.
âItâs from⊠the higher ups, Gojo-san.â Ichiji gulped as he said it. âY/N-san was suddenly called in yesterday night, and she was told it was an urgent mission.â
âWho called her?â
âIt wasâŠâ
When Ichiji told him the name, suddenly Satoru barked a snort, and his lips curled into a manic grin. It was a menacing sight for both Ichiji and Megumi, as he looked almost unhinged if not for his secure grip on his son.
But contrary to what they were thinking, what filled Satoru at that moment was pure, unadulterated fury. A righteous sense of being crossedâbecause, how fucking dare they?
Those higher ups first pressed him to execute Yuji, and when he paid them no mind⊠now they staged this atrocity against you, most definitely to serve as a warning to him.
âIchiji, tell them that Iâll pay a visit tomorrow. And drive Megumi home tonight.â
He would make his point loud and clear. He would show them how wrong it was to ever test him. ButâŠ
The plan barely satisfied him. They hurt you. His heart finally lurched as he processed the fact⊠when he heard his babyâs soft whimper against his shoulder.
. . .
You sustained serious injuries, but finally, you were out of critical condition.
When Satoru was allowed to see you, you were still connected to many monitors and breathing machine. He brought your baby too inside, and upon clearly seeing both of them, suddenly your eyes welled up with tears.
âHeyâŠâ his hand gripped yours reassuringly. You sniffled when the strain of your broken ribs made you almost cry out in pain, and Satoru immediately calmed you down.
âSweetsâ hey, donât cry, yeah? You did good.â He pressed a soft kiss on the back of your hand. âYou did freaking good. Youâre okay now. Youâre going to recover, yeah?â
You gave him a tearful little nod, feeling so grateful that you could see him again. And unbeknownst to you, seeing you like this broke his heart too.
âMwa...â your baby, cradled in your husbandâs arms, suddenly stretched his tiny hands towards you, and Satoru handed him over for you to hold.
With the little strength you possessed, you reached out to stroke his soft cheeks. Your son... the thought of how close you came to death brought another tear rolling down your cheek.
All sort of thoughts went through Satoruâs head at the sight. His wife, the mother of his son, who is proud of him for everything he doesâ
âand their sorry asses dared to hurt you.
Suddenly all he saw was red.
And he swore he would make it right to you. Soon.
âAh, Satoru-kun⊠to what I owe the pleasure?â
ââŠIâve heard that it was you who assigned that special grade mission to my wife, correct?â
âOh, that. First of all, I must apologize for my... oversight. We were misinformed... Our scouts made a mistake while filling the files.â
Satoru was trying not to lose his composure first thing after coming here. Really.
But the knowing tone of the elderly Jujutsu Commander only fueled his rage, growing stronger the longer he stood behind this stupid paper divider.
âSo itâs a mistake, huh?â he repeated in a satire manner. âThen do you know that my wife has just gotten out of her maternity leave this week?â
The man behind the divider chuckled quietly. âSatoru-kun⊠I know the sentiment. Of course youâll be worried, and it did end in a rather⊠unfortunate incident. However, jujutsu sorcerers are bound to their duty, and your wife cannot rely too heavily on her status as a member of the Gojo clan to be excluded fromââ
Fuck it. He had no patience any longer.
âSeems like I need to be a lot rougher, after all.â
Suddenly the room crackled with electricity and the Jujutsu Commander gasped at the sense of foreboding he felt. âGojo, you canâtâ!â
âHeh, but I can.â He let out the most satisfied laugh before opening his palm and chanting in a lower voice: âCursed Technique Lapse: Blue.â
In a matter of seconds, the audience chamber of jujutsu headquarters turned into a pile of destruction. The commander barely made it out the deadly vacuum vortex with a shriek.
âAh! N-no! Get a-away from me!â Satoru stared down at him coldly through his unobstructed heavenly eyes, as he pitifully tried to crawl away. He took one step towards him, stomped on his hand ruthlesslyâcausing the man to scream, before he got down to his level.
âN-no! Please, s-spare me...!â
âThis is my first and last warning to you.â It was beyond terrifying, to see those six eyes in this close proximity. But even more dreadful was the tight chokehold on his throatâ
âIf you ever try to pull this idiotic stunt again on my wife, know that I can and I will snap your neck.â Satoruâs face split into a sinister grin as he tapped the manâs nape, before he crushed the bones of his hand with a crack and made him howl. âRemember that, yeah?â
. . . that day, none in jujutsu headquarters dared to spread any word about Gojo Satoruâs outrageous conduct, even when it was an attack against their own highest ranking leader.
âSatoru, you donât have to, reallyââ
âNuh, uh! Iâve promised you Iâll nurse you back to health!â
Unaware of anything and everything, you thought that your loving husband was a silly jester trying to make you feel better. On the fifth day of your stay in hospital, you were well enough to eat solid food, and Satoru insisted on spoon feeding you the fruits he cut himself.
âGood girl,â he praised with a wholly playful smile as you chewed on the watermelon. You looked at him with a mock frown, pursing your lips.
âYouâre making me look like a kid.â
âYou are, in fact, my second kid, so I have all rights to baby you.â
You let out a giggle, but then suddenly your throat felt like it was closing in and you coughed. Instinctively, you reached for your neckâ your fingers tracing the scar there.
You still could remember the sense of paralyzing fear you felt as soon as your neck was cut. The heavy bleeding that followed, the way the world blacking out around youâŠ
âSweetsâŠ?â Satoru put down the plate and got a grip on your trembling figure. He gently pushed your chin up to meet his eyes. âHey, look at me. Look at me, hmm?â
Your frantic eyes locked onto his, and your rapid breathing steadied. Your clammy hand reached out to touch his face... before you lunged forward, throwing your arms around him.
âSweetheartâŠâ Satoru hugged you back in return, sighing against the nape on your neck, as he planted a soft kiss there.
You tried your best not to cry but it was hard not to while remembering everything.
âI-I was so scaredâŠâ
âMhm.â
âI-I kept thinking⊠w-what if I c-canât see you⊠or baby againâŠ? I⊠I s-still want to do a lot of⊠things⊠w-with youâŠâ
The way you shook in his arms like a fragile leaf made something inside him burn. He was supposed to provide you with security, give you a life far removed from cursesâ
Having left that warning against the higher-ups wasnât enough, he shouldâve made him beg for his life moreâ
âListen to me,â Satoru said as he broke the hug, the deep frown in his grave expression made you almost sob. He gently wiped your overflowing tears with the pads of his thumbs.
âStop thinking that. Youâre alright. Youâre going to get better. You and meâwe are going to raise our son together.â
You took in each of his words fully, even as your lips quivered.
âAnd mark my wordsâŠâ Right in this moment, you thought that your husband was most dashing as he gave you his promisesâas his blue eyes glimmered under the light. âThey wonât ever lay their hands on you ever again. Not while Iâm here. Not ever. I already made sure of that.â
You were curious about what he did, but you chose not to press further when Satoru leaned in suddenly and brushed his lips against yours in a soft kiss, melting your heart into mush.
When he pulled away, it was his usual teasing grin on his handsome face. âNow, I only have one duty leftâ that is to get my cute wife back on her feet. So, be a good little wifey and have lots of fruits and sleep, okay?â
You giggled freely this time, feeling tremendously safe and loved, and instead of answering, you chose to peck his lips insteadâ hoping that heâd know that you trusted him with your whole life.
. . .
âBy the way⊠Satoru, whereâs our baby?â you missed your pumpkin, and while being with your funny husband lifted your spirits, you wanted to cuddle him too.
He chuckled in response. âAh! Since Megumi is on an assignment, I left him with Ichiji earlier! Donât worry, Iâll come pick him up soon, âkay?â
Epilogue
âIâm going out for a bit, and if you ever make him upset or cry⊠I can and I will sense it! So Ichijiâdo your best!â
âBwaâŠâ
âEeek!â
Ichiji stared at Baby Gojo with literal sweat on his forehead, as the little being curiously looked up at him.
By all means, this baby was adorable. Even more so when his father dressed him in a shark onesie. It was a peculiar choiceâjust like any of Gojoâs choices wereâbut it sure made the baby look even more endearing.
But the thing is⊠he didnât feel secure enough to hold him! Especially when he didnât know if Gojoâs claim of telepathic connection with his son was true or not!
Amidst his thoughts, suddenly Ichiji felt a soft touch on his arm and immediately turned to find the little munchkin putting his little hand on him and staring at him with such pureness unbefitting of Gojo Satoruâs son.
How can this baby be a stark contrast to his father? Ichiji was almost tempted to snuggle him, but he knew better.
âO-oh⊠d-donât touch meâŠâ
And as he retracted his hand back, the baby suddenly widened his eyes, feeling betrayed apparently, as his little lips wobbled and face scrunched up, so ready to burst into tearsâ
âHicâŠâ
ââ!! Nooo! Donât cry! Your father will fry me! Eeek!!â

smack, smack â gojo satoru x f!reader
a/n: special thanks to the beautiful @stinkyme for inspiring me to actually write this and for fangirling over the idea with me <3
gojo satoru, like any dad, got his fair share of âbullyingâ from his daughter, his 5 months old baby.
some dads get peed on, others get their hair pulled, and others get their nose bitten on the daily. it's a little something to make them suffer a bit like the mothers had to during the pregnancy.
your husband, however, is always getting smacked in the face whenever he has his blindfold on, and I mean harshly smacked in the face and unforgiving scratching.
the first time it happened was when he was going to school. he was ready, uniform on and everything, but he simply had to say goodbye to his two girls.
skipping to your shared bedroom, he placed two big smooches on your face. then, after much of pulling him off you, he went to smooch his little girl. a big unmatched grin was on his face as he looked down at her in her crib.
he picked her up, cooing softly at her, âwhat a pretty girl, just as pretty as your mama, huh?â
satoru then laid her gently against his chest and started rocking her softly, while humming. after a while, he felt her stir a little in his arms. she sleepily looks up at him, and he smiles down at her, âgood morning, babyââ
now, your daughter was used to seeing her dad without the blindfold. she was used to getting met by her dad's bright blue eyes.
so when a strange unknown man was holding her up instead of her papa, she started wailing and screaming, repeatedly smacking him in the face.
whenever her littleâstrongâhand landed on the blindfold, she would try to pull it off with all her baby might. you scrambled out of your bed at the loud screeches and screams of both your husband and your daughter.
you saw how satoru was desperately trying to, as gently as possible, make her release her grip. you stumbled on your words, before yelling, âyour blindfold! take off your blindfold off!â
âI! am! trying!â he yelps as she continues slapping the hell out of his face.
you hurry and take his blindfold off, swiftly throwing it to the side. he started rocking her, smiling despite the red marks and scratches all over his handsome face, âitâs me, daddy! you see me?â
almost magically, your daughter calmed down in an instant with the occasional hiccup from her previous crying. he smiled, âthere you go; thatâs my girl.â
she gently made grabby hands at him, and he quickly pulled her back into his chest. your daughter instantly snuggled into his shoulder and hid her face in his neck.
you stared at him for a moment, âwell, at least we know that she bloody hates that blindfold.â
it honestly kind of adds up.
you remember the many times that your daughter was generally distressed or fussy and instantly calmed down when she saw her dadâs eyes. you also remember that one time your daughter was actually zoning out while looking at satoruâs eyes, her own safe place.
satoru chuckles with a shrug, âI have you as my savior, anyway.â
âyou canât always count on me to be the one to save you from our daughterâs monstrously strong grip.â
and he canât.
no one is brave enough to try and to fight back a baby, let alone the strongest sorcererâs baby.
that attack happens way more than satoru would like. for example, whenever youâre busy, he takes his little princess to the school with him. in general, everyone helps in taking care of the little angel (devil in some cases).
however, god forbid she sees satoru coming back from a mission with his blindfold on.
it took some time for your husband to learn his lesson and immediately take his blindfold off before he entered the school. until then, he was prone to his daughterâs crazy strong hand smacking his face till his entire face is painted red and not the cute kind.
satoru never believed in his students to save him, except for yuuji. the first time it happened around the students, most of them were either laughing or speechless.
yuuji did try to save his sensei from his smacking machine of a daughter, but ended up getting smacked himself.
your husband did hope that, maybe, nanamiâs heart would soften, and he would finally help him.
nanamiâs heart did soften, just not for satoru. instead, your daughter now has a special soft spot in nanamiâs heart, as he did in hers, but that isnât our topic for today.
the amount of times you would enter the room to find nanami chuckling or smiling at your husband getting beaten to a pulp by your baby. satoru could be sobbing, ânanami, please! save me!â
and nanami would simply smileâsadisticallyâand hum, âI donât think I will.â
youâre pretty sure that nanami believes this is godâs way of punishing your husband for all the mischief he caused.
ignoring that, it grips your heart how satoruâs face would brighten up the moment he saw you. he would run up to you, giving you the baby to calm her down while he gives his face a rest.
and your little girl was smiling and giving you her version of cheek kisses.
your husband recovered quickly though, and took her back, his blindfold finally off. he doesnât do it without pecking your lips though, âmy savior.â    Â
then he gets lost in his own world with his little girl, and their laughs and giggles filled the room. her hands were gently holding her dadâs face as she squeals, and satoruâs heart soars as he forgets about his beating from a moment ago.
now, that doesnât mean that his dear students donât make fun of him for always losing against his little girl. during one of the recent teasings, he simply huffed, âyou never tried the grip of a baby! tell them, yuuji!â
yuuji shudders as he remembers how long the slap mark lasted, âshe is one hell of a strong baby.â
itâs one thing for panda and nobara to laugh, itâs another for megumi and maki to do so as well. your husbandâs ego simply couldnât take it anymore. he took his baby in his arms and gathered the baby bags, sparing one last glance at his âbulliesâ.
and so your husband dramatically exits the room, âI need my wife! I canât with you people anymore!â

⊠GIYUU X PREGNANT!READER
cw: none, this is fluff, fem!reader
"you have a wife?!" sanemi yelled.
"youâre lying." obanai mumbled. "thatâs sad."
"tomioka, how sweet!" mitsuri called.
giyuuâs eyes narrowed at rengoku, the bright man just smiled innocently.
"i had no idea they didnât know," he sheepishly said.
as soon as giyuu got back from his mission, the flame hashira informed him that his wife was in the butterfly mansion. something had happened, and she needed to be taken to shinobu. unfortunately, rengoku wasnât known for being quiteâblasted eardrums will do that to a personâso the other hashira in the perimeter got to hear (for the first time) that not only was giyuu NOT single, he was MARRIED.
they ended up following him through the halls, pestering him with questions until they reached the room you stayed in. your husband ignored them like usual, the only thing on his mind being your well being.
his nerves were calmed, however, immediately upon seeing you laying in bed, a smile on your face as you chatted with shinobu.
"how are you feeling?" giyuuâs tone was soft as he blocked you from the prying eyes of the other hashira in the doorway. he made his way towards your side.
"tired." you smiled at him, letting your husband hold your hand and run his thumb over your fingers. "shinobu said it was a false contraction."
"it was caused by stress," your friendâs calming voice said. "makes sense, tomioka, anyone married to you would be on edge."
your husband just grumbled at his friend as you giggled. he then helped you sit up in bed, the blankets falling off to reveal your pregnant stomach to the small audience watching.
"you had sex?!" sanemi screamed.
oblivious to the small mass of people staring at you, sanemiâs outburst startled you, causing you to grab onto your husbandâs haori. he instinctively pulled you close, his soft look switching to a death glare towards the doorway.
"hush!" giyuu seethed at him, finally giving attention to the posse. "sheâs nine months pregnant; shut up."
although listening and lowering his voice, sanemi didnât let his question go unanswered. "youâre not a virgin?"
"go away," giyuu deadpanned. "all of you, go away. now."
"itâs okay, darling," you tried to soothe him. "maybe you should introduce me to your friends."
you felt him tense up at that. he didnât let go of your hand, and he only moved half a step away from you (half of them still couldnât see you), and he spoke with a monotone voice. "this is my wife, y/n. sheâs pregnant with our first child."
the was no verbal reaction from the onlookers, just looks of disbelief from the four of them. it felt like you were an animal in the zoo with the way they were all staring dumbfounded at you.
it took a couple minutes for shinobu and rengoku to get the others out, leaving you and giyuu alone in the room. as soon as the door closed, your husband grabbed your face and peppered kisses all over it, causing you to giggle. he took a seat on the edge of the bed to be closer to you.
"iâm so sorry," he said, kissing your lips. "iâm sorry i wasnât here."
"itâs okay, baby." you let your head rest on his shoulder. "iâm just glad i didnât give birth."
"i would never forgive myself if i was gone for that." giyuuâs hand ran up and down your back comfortingly.
you sigh in relief, turning your head to place a kiss on his neck.
"well now that youâre here, letâs get this baby out of me."

Dumb & Poetic
Summary: You like Logan, but he likes Jean. Right?
Word Count: 6k+
Pairing: Logan (X-Men) x fem!reader
Notes: honestly, this isn't one of my favorites, but i just needed to write it to get it out of my head.
also, this is after the sabrina carpenter song, but this story has no relation to the lyrics whatsoever, i just thought the title was fitting
reader's powers are manipulating atoms (it'll make sense when you read)
warnings/tags: some uses of y/n, pet name (princess, sweetheart), miscommunication, light violence, blood, implied age gap
Even after going on ten missions and counting, you always found yourself nervous. Especially when you were getting onto the Blackbird, clad in your matching suits. The hum of the jetâs engines filled the air, but your mind was on Logan. He sat across from you, legs spread out, arms crossed over his chest, that usual scowl on his face. It was the way he always looked before a mission, but you couldnât help but glance over a little too often.
Ororo slid into the seat next to you, her sharp eyes catching your lingering stare. âYou know,â she said softly, leaning over slightly, âif you keep looking at him like that, you might as well say something.â
You blinked, face heating up. âWhat? I wasnâtââ
âOh, please, Y/N,â Ororo chuckled under her breath. âIâm not blind.â
You sighed and slouched back into your seat, fiddling with the straps. âItâs complicated.â
âItâs Logan,â Ororo shrugged. âEverything about him is complicated. But that doesnât mean you should hold back.â
You cast another glance across the cabin at him. Logan was still quiet, staring out the window now, completely unaware of the butterflies flipping around in your stomach. You didnât want to admit it, but Ororo was right. There was something about Logan that made you pause. Maybe it was the way he always seemed to be in his own world, like he was still holding onto things from his past. Or maybe it was because of the way he looked at Jean sometimes, like there was still something unresolved there.
âI donât think heâs over her,â you murmured, feeling the familiar weight of doubt settle in.
âJean?â Ororo raised an eyebrow. âPlease, Jean and Scott are practically married. Logan isnât hung up on her anymore. If anything, heâs just... Logan.â
You nodded, but the doubt still lingered. It was hard to let yourself hope for something that seemed impossible. Besides, Logan saw you as the kid, didnât he? He always called you âprincessâ or âsweetheartâ- terms of endearment, sure, but you figured he used them with everyone.
Before you could dwell on it any longer, Hankâs voice came over the intercom, snapping everyone to attention. âWeâre approaching the target. This should be a routine recon and hopefully data extraction but keep your guard up.â
Logan stood, moving to the front of the cabin. âYou heard him. We get in, get the intel, and get out. No heroics.â
You stood with Ororo, adjusting your gloves and trying to ignore the fact that your heart rate had picked up. It wasnât the mission that had you on edge, but Loganâs presence, the way he effortlessly took command of the room. You hated how easily he affected you.
The Blackbird landed with a soft jolt, and the team moved into action. Logan gave you a nod as you passed, and you swore you saw something in his eyesâconcern? Or maybe you were just seeing what you wanted to see.
As the team fanned out, you stayed close to Jean and Scott, your senses heightened. You were supposed to keep it simple, in and out. But things rarely went that smoothly.
A flicker of movement caught your eye just as Jeanâs telepathy brushed against your mind. Y/N, weâre not alone. Be ready.
And then all hell broke loose.
Explosions rocked the compound as enemies swarmed in from every direction. You threw up your hands, quickly manipulating the air around you, converting oxygen molecules to corrosive acids to fend off the attackers. Beside you, Scott fired his optic blasts, and Jeanâs telekinesis sent debris flying.
You ducked behind a large pole of concrete, peeking out at the attackers behind you. âAlchemy, think you can get to the data room and get what we came for?â Hank asked over comms, as he and Logan fought a group of attackers.
You took a deep breath and peeked out at the attackers. "Iâll do my best, Hank," you responded, scanning for a clear path to the data room. The explosions and gunfire made it difficult to focus, but you knew you had to move.
âCover her!â Loganâs voice barked out, and you felt a small surge of determination. He was counting on you. The team was counting on you. It was almost too much pressure to bear.
Ororo and Jean moved to provide cover as you darted toward the entrance of the data room. You manipulated the chemicals in the air around you, creating a thick fog to obscure the attackers' vision, but it wouldnât last long.
You slipped into the room and immediately went to work on the computer, fingers flying over the keyboard. The download started, but it was slow, and you could hear the chaos outside intensifying.
âHurry it up, Alchemy!â Scottâs voice came over the comms, tension clear in his tone.
âAlmost there,â you muttered, eyes glued to the screen. The progress bar crept forward, painfully slow. You glanced over your shoulder, half expecting an attacker to burst through the door at any moment.
A loud crash echoed through the room as part of the hallway imploded, sending dust and debris flying. You ducked, covering your head with your arms as the force of the blast knocked you off balance. The data was still downloadingâjust a few more seconds. But the chaos outside was getting worse.
"Y/N!" Logan's voice crackled through the comms, barely audible over the noise. "Get out of there, now!"
"Almost done!" you yelled back, heart pounding. The progress bar was at 95%. You just needed a little more time.
Another explosion rocked the compound, and you heard Logan shout something to the others. You could hear gunfire and the clash of metal against metal as the team fought off the attackers. Every second felt like an eternity.
"Got it!" you exclaimed as the download completed. You yanked the USB drive from the computer and turned to make your escape. You entered the open area where the rest of the team was fighting, just as part of the ceiling fell. Instinctively, you raised your hands and quickly converted the falling cement into water, which drenched you from head to toe.
You grimaced, pushing your wet hair from your face, but there was no time to focus on the discomfort. The fight was still raging, and Loganâs voice crackled over the comms again, "Princess, get out of there. Now."
âOn my way!â you shouted, breaking into a sprint to rejoin the team. You dodged debris, your heartbeat in your ears, adrenaline coursing through your veins.
As you rounded the corner, Scott called out through comms, âeveryone get dow- â
Before you could react or shield yourself, a blast came from all around you, an explosion of some kind. You watched as Logan tackled Jean to the ground, shielding her. It was instinctual, he was only protecting a teammate, and Jean was the closest one to him. At least, thatâs what you told yourself to feel better.
You hit the ground hard, your body skidding across the concrete before colliding with a pile of debris. Pain exploded in your side as you groaned, gasping for breath. Dazed, you tried to push yourself up, but your vision swam.
Your hand came down to your side, fingers grazing the sticky warmth on your glove. It wasnât the water from earlierâyou knew that now. The sharp pain spreading through your body confirmed it. You blinked, vision blurring for a second, but your focus quickly snapped back as your instincts kicked in.
"Princess, come in! Y/N!" Loganâs voice crackled over the comms, but it sounded distant, like he was yelling from the other side of a tunnel.
âIâm fine,â you groaned, struggling to push yourself to your feet. Your side screamed in protest, but you forced yourself to ignore it. You couldnât afford to be down for long. Not when everything around you was falling apart.
You looked up to see Logan pulling Jean to her feet, his eyes scanning the battlefield before locking onto you. For a split second, his eyes widened, and then his expression darkened.
âStay where you are,â Logan barked, already moving toward you, cutting through the debris and chaos like a force of nature. His claws were out, gleaming even in the dim light, but it wasnât the enemies he was focused on. It was you.
âIâm fine,â you repeated, though the words felt weaker this time. The pain was growing worse, and you stumbled as you tried to take a step forward.
Logan was in front of you in an instant, his hands on your shoulders, steadying you before you could fall. âYouâre not fine,â he growled, his voice low and rough. He looked down at your side, and his lips pressed into a tight line. âYouâre bleeding.â
âItâs just a scratch,â you lied, even as the pain in your side flared again, making it harder to breathe. You tried to step back, to shake off his hands, but Logan wouldnât let you move.
âYou are not fine,â Logan repeated, his eyes dark as they focused on the piece of metal lodged in your side. His hand hovered over it, the blood seeping from the wound making his jaw clench.
âLogan, seriously,â you breathed out, trying to keep your voice steady. âIâm fine. Itâs nothing.â
You tried to brush him off, to act like the sharp, burning pain radiating from your side wasnât there, but Loganâs hands didnât move from your shoulders. His grip was firm, almost like he was grounding you.
âStop lying to me, Princess,â he growled softly, his eyes flicking from your face to the metal in your side. âItâs not nothing. I can smell the blood.â
The way he said it made your face flush, and for a second, you didnât know what to say. He wasnât just annoyed; he was worried. It was written all over his face, in the tension of his body, in the way his claws were still out, ready to strike at anything that came near.
âLogan- â you started, but he cut you off.
âDonât move,â he ordered, his voice low but commanding. âIâm getting this out.â
He knelt down in front of you, his large hands gently holding your waist. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver down your spine despite the situation. You bit your lip, trying to focus on something- anything- other than the way his hands felt on you.
âThis is gonna hurt,â he warned, glancing up at you. His eyes softened just a bit, as if he was trying to reassure you.
âIâll be fine,â you muttered, though the knot of anxiety tightened in your stomach. It wasnât the pain you were worried about.
Logan gave you a quick nod, then, with a sharp tug, he pulled the metal shard from your side. You bit down on a groan, your vision blurring for a moment as the pain shot through you. The wound was deeper than youâd realized, and the blood quickly soaked through your suit.
âDamn it,â Logan muttered under his breath, pressing his hand against your side to try and stop the bleeding. âWe need to get you back to the jet. Youâre losing too much blood.â
âI can handle it,â you said through gritted teeth, trying to stand up straighter. âWe still have enemies out there. Iâm not leaving the fight.â
Loganâs eyes narrowed. âThe hell you arenât.â
You tried to argue, but the pain flared again, and your vision swam. You stumbled, and Logan caught you easily, pulling you against him.
âStubborn,â he muttered, his voice close to your ear now. âYouâre as bad as me.â
âI learned from the best,â you said, trying to force a smile through the pain. But it was hard to keep the act up when your body was screaming at you to lie down, to rest.
Loganâs grip tightened on you, and for a moment, you allowed yourself to lean into him. His body was solid and warm, and despite the chaos around you, there was something comforting about his presence.
âWeâre getting you back to the jet, sweetheart,â Logan said, his voice soft but firm. âYouâre not staying out here like this.â
âBut- â you started to protest, but Logan cut you off again.
âNo âbuts,â princess. Youâre hurt. Let the rest of us handle it.â
Before you could argue again, he gently but firmly hoisted you up into his arms. The movement made your side burn, but you were too stunned by the fact that Logan was carrying you to care.
âLogan, put me down,â you said, your face heating up in embarrassment. âI can walk.â
âNot happening,â he grunted, his arms strong and steady around you. âYou can yell at me later if you want. Right now, weâre getting you patched up.â
You looked up at him, your heart pounding for an entirely different reason now. His face was set in that familiar scowl, but there was something else in his eyes. Concern? Maybe even fear?
âLogan, Iâm fine,â you tried again, but your voice was weaker this time. The truth was, you were exhausted. The adrenaline was fading, and the pain was becoming harder to ignore.
Logan didnât respond, his jaw tight as he carried you through the debris and chaos. You caught sight of Ororo and Scott still fighting off the last of the enemies, and Jean was using her telekinesis to hold back another explosion.
âY/N, are you alright?â Jeanâs voice cut through the noise, her eyes widening as she saw you in Loganâs arms.
âSheâs hurt,â Logan said, not stopping as he headed for the jet. âIâm getting her out of here.â
Jean looked like she wanted to protest, but she gave a quick nod, her focus shifting back to the battle. âGo. Weâll finish up here.â
As Logan carried you back to the Blackbird, you couldnât help but glance up at him again. His face was still set in that determined, protective expression, and your heart did another flip.
This wasnât just about the mission anymore. There was something else between you two, something you had been too scared to admit to yourself. But now, with Logan holding you close, the weight of his concern for you pressing down on your heart, it was impossible to ignore.
So, for now, you let yourself enjoy the warmth of him around you, lingering in it for as long as you could. Because you knew this is the closest you were ever going to get to him holding you like he cared.
---
You blinked, hearing muffled arguing coming from outside the medbay, Jean coming over to your side. âHey, there. Youâve been out for a day.â
âA day?â You asked, your voice hoarse.
âYou sustained significant blood loss, but luckily the metal didnât hit any organs, or it would be a much different story,â Jean said gently, her eyes watching you with concern.
You blinked a few times, your head still foggy from the whole ordeal. âA day? Iâve been out for a day?â
Jean nodded, giving you a reassuring smile. âYouâre tougher than you think, Y/N. You just need to rest.â
You sighed, glancing around the medbay. The arguing from outside caught your attention again. Jean seemed to notice it too, her expression turning slightly more serious.
âLoganâs been a little... on edge since you were brought back,â she said carefully.
Your heart skipped a beat at the mention of Logan. You tried not to let it show, but youâd always been bad at hiding your feelings. Jean gave you a small, knowing smile.
âDonât worry about him. He just- well, you know Logan.â
You chuckled softly, though it hurt to do so. âYeah, I know Logan.â
Jean gave you a sympathetic look, her hand resting lightly on your arm. âHeâs been worried. More than usual.â
You raised an eyebrow. âMore than usual?â
Jean nodded. âYou know how he gets. All gruff and âI donât care,â but itâs just a front. He was pacing outside the medbay the entire time we were patching you up.â
The idea of Logan pacing, stressed about you, felt both strange and oddly comforting. It was hard to imagine him being that concerned over anyoneâlet alone you.
The door to the medbay creaked open, and Loganâs familiar, rugged form stepped inside. His eyes immediately locked on you, his expression unreadable, but there was something in the set of his jaw that told you he was angry. And worried.
Jean gave you a quick smile and a soft pat on your arm before standing. âIâll give you two some space.â
As Jean left, the room fell into an awkward silence. Logan stood by the door for a moment, arms crossed, not moving. His eyes scanned you, probably taking in the bandages, the way you were still propped up on the medbay bed, looking a little worse for wear.
âHey,â you said quietly, feeling a bit self-conscious under his gaze. âIâm fine.â
âLike hell you are,â Logan muttered, walking over to your bed with heavy steps. He didnât sit, just loomed at the foot of the bed, arms still crossed, his expression a mix of frustration and something else you couldnât quite place.
You blinked up at him, trying to push past the discomfort. âIâm fine, really. Jean said Iâm tougher than I think.â
âYeah, and youâre also reckless,â Logan shot back, his voice rough. âYou almost got yourself killed out there, Princess.â
Your stomach twisted at his words, and you looked away, fiddling with the blanket. You liked it when he called you that, but at the same time it almost felt like he still saw you as a kid. âI didnât mean to. I was just doing my job.â
Logan let out a sharp breath, and for a second, you thought he was going to start yelling at you. Instead, he sighed and finally sat down on the chair next to your bed. He rubbed a hand over his face, looking tired.
âI know you were doing your job,â Logan said, his voice quieter now. âBut you gotta be more careful. I thoughtââ He cut himself off, his jaw clenching as he stared at the floor. âI thought I lost you.â
Your heart skipped a beat at the way he said it, like the very idea of you being gone was unbearable to him. You swallowed, unsure of what to say. Youâd never seen Logan like thisâso raw, so vulnerable.
âIâm sorry,â you whispered, feeling a pang of guilt. âI didnât mean to make you worry.â
Logan glanced up at you, his eyes softening just a bit. âYou scared the hell outta me, sweetheart.â
The nickname sent a familiar warmth through your chest, but this time it wasnât just the usual flustered feeling. There was something more behind it, something deeper that youâd never allowed yourself to believe was possible.
âI didnât mean to,â you repeated, feeling small under his gaze. âI just... I wanted to do my part.â
Loganâs expression softened even more, and he leaned back in his chair, letting out a long breath. âI get that. Youâre tough, Princess. But youâre also important. To the team... and to me.â
You blinked, your heart pounding. Did he just say that? Did LoganâLogan, of all peopleâjust admit you were important to him? Your mind was racing, trying to process what he meant, but before you could say anything, Logan stood up abruptly, like he regretted letting those words slip.
âYou need rest,â he said, his voice gruff again as he turned toward the door. âIâll make sure no one bothers you.â
Logan left the medbay, leaving you alone with the beeping machines.
---
A few days later you were released from the medbay and told to take it easy by Jean. Which you took to heart, perhaps a little too much.
You stayed in your room, only leaving at abnormal times to get food and water since you didnât want to run into Logan. After all, you were young, practically a child to him, and all you wanted was for your crush on him to fade away like so many others did before.
Thatâs what you kept telling yourself. It didnât make the ache in your chest any easier to handle. Your crush on Logan had always been this quiet thing, something you never intended to act on. But now, after everything, it felt like it had grown louder, more noticeable. And that scared you.
You sighed, sitting on the edge of your bed, idly fiddling with the hem of your shirt. Maybe you just needed to... talk to him. Be normal again. Youâd been friends before, hadnât you? It wasnât like he knew how you felt, anyway.
Just as you were considering going for a walk to clear your head, there was a knock at your door. You froze.
âY/N?â Ororoâs voice came from the other side, soft but steady. âYou in there?â
You quickly got up, taking a deep breath before opening the door. Ororo stood there, arms crossed, giving you that lookâlike she knew exactly what was going on with you. It was unnerving, how she always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone emotionally.
âHey,â you greeted, trying to sound casual. âWhatâs up?â
Ororo raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by your attempt at nonchalance. âYouâve been hiding.â
You blinked. âI havenât been hiding.â
Ororo gave you a look. âPlease. I havenât seen you at meal times, and Loganâs been extra grumpy. Itâs not hard to put two and two together.â
You felt your face heat up. âLoganâs grumpy all the time.â
âHeâs more grumpy than usual,â Ororo said, stepping into your room and closing the door behind her. âHeâs been asking around. Wants to know why youâre avoiding him.â
Your heart skipped a beat. âHe said that?â
Ororo nodded, leaning against your desk. âHe wonât admit itâs bothering him, but it is. Whatâs going on?â
You sighed, running a hand through your hair as you sat back down on the bed. âI just... I donât know, okay? Things got weird after the mission, and I needed space.â
âLogan didnât do anything wrong,â Ororo pointed out gently.
âI know,â you mumbled. âItâs not him. Itâs me.â
Ororo tilted her head, studying you for a moment before sitting beside you on the bed. âYouâre worried about how he sees you, arenât you?â
You swallowed, nodding slowly. âI mean, kinda of. He doesnât see me in the way I see him, yâknow?â
Ororo gave you a knowing look, her lips quirking up slightly. "And how do you see him?"
You hesitated, feeling your face heat up again. "I... I donât know. It's just... heâs Logan. Heâs been through so much, seen so much, and Iâm just⊠me. The kid who got lucky with mutant powers and likes chemistry too much."
Ororo smiled gently, shaking her head. "Youâre selling yourself short, Y/N. You're a lot more than that. And Logan sees it."
You opened your mouth to protest, but Ororo held up a hand. "Iâm not saying he knows exactly what he's feeling, but he's not as oblivious as you think. And trust me, the way heâs been acting lately, itâs clear youâre important to him."
You sighed, flopping back on the bed. "Maybe, but itâs not like that. It canât be. Heâs Loganâhe doesnât do the whole feelings thing."
Ororo chuckled softly. "Youâd be surprised. Heâs more in tune with his feelings than he lets on. Heâs just⊠not used to showing them."
You frowned up at the ceiling. "Then why does it feel like Iâm the only one getting all messed up over this?"
Ororo stood up, crossing her arms as she looked down at you. "Because youâre thinking too much, Alchemy. Maybe you should try talking to him instead of hiding."
"Iâm not hiding!" you protested weakly.
"Uh-huh," Ororo said, raising an eyebrow. "Well, hiding or not, heâs not going to let this go. Loganâs stubborn like that."
You groaned, pulling a pillow over your face. "Great. Thatâs exactly what I need."
Ororo chuckled again. "Just⊠talk to him. It might help. You canât avoid him forever."
You sighed, peeking out from under the pillow. "Yeah, yeah. Iâll think about it."
Ororo smiled softly before heading toward the door. "Good. And Y/N?"
You looked up at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Give yourself a little more credit," Ororo said gently. "Youâre not just some kid to him. He cares about you. Maybe more than either of you realizes."
Before you could respond, she slipped out of the room, leaving you alone with your thoughtsâand the knot of nervousness growing in your stomach.
---
The next day, you were wandering through the mansionâs empty halls after lunch. You werenât hiding per se, but you were definitely avoiding a certain someone. Ororoâs words kept echoing in your mind, and you couldnât shake the feeling that she was right. Talking to Logan was probably the only way to clear this weird tension between you, but the thought of actually doing it made you want to curl up and disappear.
As you turned a corner, lost in thought, you almost walked straight into him.
"Whoa, easy there, Princess," Loganâs gruff voice startled you as he steadied you with a hand on your arm. "Where you off to in such a hurry?"
You froze, looking up at him with wide eyes. "I-I wasnâtâuh, just wandering."
Logan raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical but amused. "Youâve been âjust wanderingâ a lot lately."
You bit your lip, unsure of how to respond. This was it. The moment youâd been dreading. He was right here, and there was no avoiding him now.
Logan sighed, his hand still resting lightly on your arm. "Youâve been avoiding me, sweetheart."
There it was. The thing youâd been trying to dodge. Your heart raced, and you shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze. "I havenât been avoiding you."
Logan huffed, his expression softening a little. "I ainât stupid, Y/N. You havenât been around much since the mission. Whatâs goinâ on?"
You swallowed hard, feeling your palms start to sweat. "Itâs nothing. I just... needed some space. Thatâs all."
Logan narrowed his eyes slightly, studying you. "Space from me?"
You looked down at your shoes, suddenly finding them very interesting. "Not exactly. I just... things got a little weird, okay?"
"Weird how?" Loganâs voice was still rough, but there was a hint of something gentler beneath it. Concern, maybe?
You hesitated, the words catching in your throat. How were you supposed to explain that the reason youâd been avoiding him was because your stupid crush had spiraled into something much more confusing and intense? You couldnât just blurt that out. Could you?
Loganâs grip on your arm tightened slightly, and he took a step closer, his voice low. "Talk to me, sweetheart. Whatâs goinâ on?"
You felt a lump form in your throat as you glanced up at him. He was so close now, and the familiar warmth in his eyes was making it hard to think straight.
"I just... I didnât want to make things awkward between us," you mumbled, your voice barely above a whisper.
Logan frowned, his brow furrowing. "Why would things be awkward?"
You swallowed, forcing yourself to meet his gaze. "Because I... I care about you, Logan. A lot. And I know you donât feel the same way because you still like Jean- â
Logan's frown deepened, and he shook his head almost immediately. "Jean? Whatâre you talkinâ about?"
Your heart pounded in your chest, and you bit your lip, feeling suddenly embarrassed. "I mean, I just assumed... everyone knows you used to have feelings for her, and itâs fine, really. I get it. I just didnât want to make things weird byâ"
"Y/N," Logan cut you off, his voice firm but not unkind. He stepped closer, his gaze locking with yours. "I ainât thinkinâ about Jean like that anymore."
You blinked, caught off guard. "Youâre not?"
Logan shook his head again, a hint of frustration slipping through. "No, sweetheart. Thatâs done with. Itâs been done with for a while."
Your mind raced, trying to process what he was saying. If he wasnât still hung up on Jean, then... What did that mean? Why had he been acting so tense around you?
"Then why have you been so... distant?" you asked softly, your voice wavering. "Youâve been acting weird too, Logan. Itâs not just me."
Logan looked down for a moment, rubbing the back of his neckâa rare sign of discomfort from him. When he spoke again, his voice was a little gruffer. "Iâve been... tryinâ to figure some stuff out, alright?"
"Figure what out?" you pressed gently, taking a step closer to him now. You could feel your heart thudding in your chest, but you didnât back down. "Logan, just talk to me."
He sighed, his eyes meeting yours again, and for a second, you saw something vulnerable flash through his expressionâsomething raw. He was quiet for a beat before he finally spoke.
"After that mission," he said slowly, his voice low, "when I saw you get hurt... somethinâ in me snapped. I couldnât... I couldnât handle it, Y/N. The thought of losinâ you like thatâ" He broke off, his jaw tightening, and you could see the tension in his shoulders. "Iâve been through a lotta shit in my life. Seen people come and go. But you? The idea of you beinâ goneâit messed me up more than I thought it would."
You stood there, staring at him, trying to absorb what he was saying. He wasnât just talking about the mission anymore. This was more than that.
"Logan..." you whispered, feeling a knot form in your throat. "I didnât know youâ"
"I didnât know it either," he interrupted, his voice rough but sincere. "I didnât know I felt like this âtil it hit me. I care about you, Princess. More than I care to admit, sometimes. And I ainât exactly good at this... feelings thing, yâknow that."
Your breath caught in your throat. You didnât know what to say, and for a moment, you were convinced youâd misheard him. Logan cared about you? Like that? It felt surreal.
"You... you care about me?" you asked cautiously, your voice small.
Logan huffed, a half-smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, but there was a softness in his eyes that you hadnât seen before. "Hell yeah, I do. Iâve been tryinâ to push it down for a while now, but it ainât workinâ. Not anymore."
You stared at him in disbelief, your pulse racing. "But... Iâm justâ"
"Donât even start with that âIâm just meâ bullshit," Logan cut you off again, his tone more serious. "You ainât âjustâ anything, Y/N. Youâre smart, tough as nails, and youâve got a good heart. You matter to me. And not in some âkid sisterâ kinda way either, if thatâs what youâre thinkinâ."
Your cheeks flushed, and your heart skipped a beat. He was being so direct, so honest, and it left you completely speechless.
Logan shifted a little closer, his gaze softening even more as he looked down at you. "I donât know when it happened, but it did. You got under my skin, sweetheart. And as much as I tried to ignore it... I canât."
You swallowed hard, your mind spinning. This was really happening. Loganâgruff, stoic Loganâwas telling you that he had feelings for you. And for the first time, you didnât feel like a kid around him. You felt like someone who mattered, someone he saw.
"I..." you started, your voice shaking a little. "I didnât think youâd ever... I mean, Iâve had feelings for you for a while now, but I just figuredâ"
Logan chuckled softly, his hand reaching out to brush your cheek gently. The touch was gentle, and it sent a shiver down your spine. "You figured wrong, Princess."
You blinked up at him, your heart pounding in your chest. The way he was looking at youâit wasnât just teasing or friendly banter. It was something deeper, something real. You couldnât believe this was actually happening.
âI-I donât know what to say,â you stammered, your voice barely a whisper. âI thought I was just⊠I donât know, bothering you or something.â
Loganâs hand lingered near your face, his thumb brushing your cheek softly. His eyes locked onto yours, and you could see the sincerity in them, the raw emotion he wasnât hiding anymore. âYou ainât a bother, sweetheart. Far from it. And if Iâve been actinâ like I donât care, thatâs on me. But I do care. A lot.â
Your breath caught in your throat. His touch, his wordsâit was all too much, too overwhelming. Youâd been crushing on Logan for what felt like forever, and now he was standing here, telling you he felt the same way. It didnât feel real.
âLogan, IâŠâ You started, but your words trailed off as his hand slid down to your neck, his rough palm warm against your skin. The way he was looking at you, the intensity in his gaze, made it impossible to think straight.
âStop thinkinâ so hard,â Logan murmured, his voice low and rough. âJust⊠be here. With me.â
Your heart pounded as you met his eyes, your stomach doing flips. You didnât even realize youâd been holding your breath until you let it out in a shaky exhale. âOkay.â
For a moment, everything felt like it slowed downâthe air between you humming with tension. Logan leaned in closer, his face inches from yours, and you could feel his breath warm against your lips. It felt like time had stopped, like nothing else in the world mattered but this moment.
Then, before you could second-guess yourself, you closed the small distance between you and pressed your lips to his.
Logan responded instantly, his hand moving to cup the back of your head as he kissed you with a kind of intensity that made your knees weak. It wasnât slow or hesitantâit was rough, urgent, like heâd been holding back for too long and couldnât anymore.
You kissed him back, your hands finding their way to his chest, gripping his shirt as you melted into him. His lips were warm and slightly chapped, and the way he kissed you sent a shock of electricity through your entire body. It was everything youâd imagined and more.
Loganâs free arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him until there was no space left between your bodies. You could feel the strength in him, the raw power that he usually kept under tight control, but there was also a tenderness in the way he touched you, like he was afraid of hurting you.
The kiss deepened, and for a moment, you lost yourself in himâin the way he tasted, the way he smelled like leather and pine, the way his hands moved over your body like he couldnât get enough of you.
When you finally pulled away, you were both breathless, your foreheads resting against each other. Loganâs hands were still on you, one tangled in your hair, the other gripping your waist like he didnât want to let go.
âDamn,â he muttered, his voice low and rough. âYou really are somethinâ, Princess.â
You laughed softly, feeling a little dizzy from the kiss, from everything. âYouâre not so bad yourself, Wolverine.â
Logan smirked, brushing his thumb over your cheek again. âCouldâve told me sooner, yâknow. Saved me a lotta trouble.â
You rolled your eyes, still grinning. âYeah, well, you couldâve said something too. You had me thinking I was crazy this whole time.â
He huffed a laugh, his eyes softening as he looked at you. âGuess weâre both idiots then.â
You bit your lip, still trying to process everything. Youâd kissed Logan. Actually kissed him. And heâd kissed you back. It felt like a dream, like any second now you were going to wake up and realize none of this had happened.
But it had. He was still here, his arms around you, his eyes on you, his lips still tingling from the kiss. And for the first time in a long time, you didnât feel nervous or uncertain around him. You felt⊠right.

Today was very sunny so I went on a nice long walk in the woods with Pirlouit, to stock up on kindling for the winter. He was walking jauntily, I think he really does enjoy going on little missions with his baskets! Now and then I tied him to a tree surrounded by enough vegetation to keep him busy for a bit, and I gathered wood all around him while singing to him. Avec le soleil et le vent âȘ avec la pluie et le beau temps â« on vivait bien contents âȘ mon Ăąne, ma Provence et moi â« (Technically this song says cheval, not Ăąne, but I always replace the word horse with donkey so my songs are more interesting to him. The only donkey songs I know are very sad, like Le petit Ăąne gris which ends with "Poor beast of burden, abandoned by men, he died without a farewell", I can't possibly sing this to Pirlouit. He already has a resting sad face that he can't do anything about.)
I heard leaves crunching behind us, a few times. Steps. Discreet steps. I turned around, looking for the deer who was apparently following us from a distance.
^ Do you see her? Right in the middle. I saw her immediately, but only because I have had so much practice.
Hello, Pampérigouste.
Sometimes all she wants is to be witnessed. "Aha, do you see me? I'm out of my pasture!! You lost! Look at me" and then I'm like "I see you, Pampe. Wow!! How ever did you fool me again?" and she goes home, having ticked this off her Sunday morning to-do list.
But today she wanted to play. Instead of going home she kept trotting away from me in the direction of the road; this hilarious game is known as "Can you catch me before I'm on the road? :)"
I did not want to play. I had wood to gather, and Pirlouit was still tied to his tree and he hates being left behind, like a poor beast of burden abandoned by men. He was already braying angrily. I decided to wash my hands of Pampe, which sometimes works to make her go home. You need to act supremely uninterested in her for it to work. If you glance back at her she'll assume you're still playing, and continue prancing about in the woods.
I'm great at not glancing back. If Eurydice was my llama I would have saved her no problem. I went back to collecting wood, never paying attention to Pampe, even when Pirlouit turned around and stared in the direction of the road, his ears alert, doing his best to inform me that Pampe was going in this not-allowed direction.
Stop it, Pirou. We're ignoring her. Do you want me to leave you alone again? I bet she'll get bored before she even reaches the road, and if she doesn't, well, godspeed. Someone somewhere will get a free llama and she will be their problem. (I had a busy to-do list of my own for this afternoon so the question of how she escaped from her pasture is a problem for tomorrow-me.)
But then I went home and drafted some Pirlouit photos on tumblr to write a post tonight about our wood-gathering walkâand I read some asks from this week that I hadn't yet got around to reading, and I found this. (@confusedpersonsposts Thank you for sending it!) A wandering llama, terrorising horses. The article says this happened Sunday morning.
(I really love the shade that makes this look like a police lineup)
The second ask said "yesterday" (and was from a few days ago)âbut the first one I saw was the message with the screenshot from the article, which said Sunday morning, which was exactly when I left Pampe walk away by herself and told her to go be someone else's problem.
For a second, in my brain, it made some kind of sense.

indulge me? â gojo satoru
synopsis you and gojo go on an overnight mission and it goes wrong in every way
contents so. much. pining. (2.8k words of it!?), one bed trope, whipped!gojo, ooc gojo, completely self indulgent, a lot of cardiovascular talk, theyâre first years in this!
notes first time iâve written in AGES. sorry :3 ps this is a little snippet from a satosugu x reader series im thinking about starting. thoughts?
(edit: i wrote a part ii)
Gojo Satoru was born blessed. From birth and to death he will always be honored. It wasn't his fault that the Heavens delighted in him. So when Yaga had announced that he and you would be sharing an overnight mission to Kyushu, he nearly leapt in joy (lucky him)!
You, on the other hand, were less than thrilled to find out that you were going to be traveling alone with Gojo Satoru. For two whole days. It was a death sentence.
âMake sure to text me, so I know you're not dead.â Shoko looks between you and Gojo. Either your head will implode as a result of Gojo, or he is gonna be on the receiving end of your wrath. Shoko canât wait to see which.
âDo take pictures, I heard the onsens there are incredible.â Suguru slyly adds. Satoru perks up at his comment. The two of them share a knowing look before Gojo speaks up.
âWanna take a dip with me once we get there, [Name]?â He looks into your eyes, his lips are quirked upwards like heâs up to no good (which he is). âI promise I wonât take a peek!â He winks.
âKeep fantasizing, Gojo.â
âOh I will.â He hums happily. The smile on his lips is kind of cute, you decide. Just a little.
â â â â â â âÂ
Kurokawa, you come to find out is a very small town in Kyushu. So when people start to go missing, the entire town falls into shambles. Before your trip, Yaga had made it known the enemy youâd be facing.Â
âA common denominator of the missing persons is that they were all young women.â He had warned you and Gojo. âItâs an unidentified curse, but I trust that the two of you will be able to handle it.â
Three missing girls. All under the age of 25. Two of which were locals, one being a tourist.Â
The moment you arrive on the island of Kyushu, your guard is higher than ever. This doesnât go unnoticed by Gojo.
âDonât tell me youâre scared of some horny curse,â He looks down at you as the two of you make your way down a small street to your ryokan. Kurokawa was a traditional town, its pride resting on the old culture causing it to be untouched by modern architecture.
Unamused by his nonchalant attitude, you decide to ignore his vulgar comment, âWhat grade curse do you think weâre up against?â
He makes a noise to show that heâs thinking. âDoes it really matter? Itâll be no match for me either way.â
You roll your eyes, âDonât get ahead of yourself, we still have to figure out what happened to the victims.â
âI donât see why thatâs necessary, but okay.â Your snow haired peer dismisses. It makes you a bit envious that he doesnât have to ever feel fear for his life. Must be nice.
The two of you arrived at your designated ryokan soon enough, it was a small town after all. Gojo leads the way with you following right after. You canât discern any cursed energy in the building, but you still make a mental note to ask Gojo about it after you both are situated.Â
An elderly lady in an orange kimono stood behind the desk, smiling at you and you returned it back happily.
âItâs been a while since Iâve seen a young couple here.â She says. Thatâs right, with the recent disappearance of young girls, there would be a sudden decrease of tourism around this part of town. âYou certainly are a beautiful match!â
You gratefully accept her compliment, âThank you, but weâre notââ
âThanks granny!â Gojo wraps a strong arm around your shoulder. âI donât know how I even managed to win her over!â Thereâs a wide grin on his face that makes your eye twitch. Leave it to him to tell people the two of you were together. Not only that but he totally disrespected the old lady with his informal talk!
âUnhand me, you!â You forcefully whisper at him, while trying to unwrap yourself from his hold. His arm does not budge even as you try to push it off. What the hell is this boy eating? Gojo chuckles with the old lady while you struggle.
âMy, the two of you remind me so much of my husband and I in the days of our youth,â She sighs dreamily. Her age must be interfering with her memory because there was nothing inherently romantic going on between you and Gojo. âHow long will you be staying here?â
âOnly one night,â Gojo decides that he has tormented you enough and lets you go. He slides her his card and she pulls out something from the old wooden counter she stands behind.Â
A single key.
Your eyes bug out. Gojoâs eyebrows raise. You laugh nervously, face feeling warmer than it was thirty seconds ago.
âThere must have been a misunderstanding. We need two rooms, maâam.â You hold up two fingers to emphasize your point.Â
The smile on the old womanâs face falls, âIâm afraid I cannot do that.â Your jaw drops.
âHuh? Why not?â You press on further. Surely they could not have been booked out of all of their rooms. Tourism is at an all time low after the strange disappearances.
âIâm sure youâve heard of the strange disappearances in the area. Itâs a miracle the two of you have even decided to stay here, which I am very grateful for. That is why I must repay you back by ensuring your safety. Otherwise I must ask you to leave and stay in the next town because I will not allow you to endanger yourself so carelessly.âÂ
You blink. Neighboring town? That was hours away. The curse was here in Kurokawa. You canât afford to jeopardize a mission just because of your own feelings.
Gojoâs hand is halfway to the key, but he waits for your approval. You sigh.
âItâs fine, we can do one. Thank you.â You bow your head. She smiled apologetically as she handed Gojo the key. Gojo, unbothered by the revelation, whistles happily as the lady leads the way to your suite.
â â â â â â âÂ
operation satoru x [name]!!!!
Gojosatowu added getosugu, shoko.ieiri
Gojosatowu You wont believe it!!! shoko.ieiri What the hell is this gc And what the hell is Operation satoru x [name]? getosugu how come [name] isnât in this? Gojosatowu Ladies, ladies, one question at a time please getosugu Expect a forehead flick for that comment shoko.ieiri Stfu and just answer the questions Gojosatowu alright alright [name] and i are sharing a room in kyushu!! i may come out of this mission a changed man. shoko.ieiri someone make sure [name] is still alive and well Gojosatowu I dont appreciate your lack of faith in me >:( shoko.ieiri Keep a six feet distance from her at all times perv Gojosatowu I might have to for my own sanity. What do you think she wears to bed? shoko.ieiri You disgust me sometimes getosugu Only sometimes? shoko.ieiri Let me correct myself. You disgust me. Gojosatowu Im feeling the love :(
âWhat are you giggling to yourself about?â You place a hand on your hips as you watch Gojo smile at his flip phone.
âOh donât you worry about it,â He closes it. Weird. âWhatâs the living situation?â
You sigh. âDespite its traditional arrangement, there is a bed.â
Gojo perks up. âYeesh Iâm glad! If I had to sleep on the floor my back would be all sore right on a mission. Y'know how annoying that is?â
You suck your teeth. âAllow me to rephrase myself. There is only one bed.âÂ
There is an awful silence in the room, save for your erratically beating heart. Of course the old woman decided to place you in a coupleâs suite. Â
âHeh.â Gojo chortles happily. âWow, this must be a divine sign from God Himself. I mean, who are we to ignore this?â
âDonât start,â You hold out an accusatory finger at him. âIâm gonna go request an extra futon.â
He pouts, âDonât be like that, sharing a bed with me canât be that bad.â
âIâm willing to bet otherwise.â You walk past him. The white haired boy watches you go like a sad puppy.
â â â â â â âÂ
You took your time getting an extra futon, using it as an excuse to get all of the nervousness out of your system of sharing the same room as Gojo Satoru. Sharing a room with a boy was already bad enough, but Gojo? Your heart skipped a beat (out of nervousness, you insist!).
By the time you make it back to the room, the lights are out. You assume that Gojo decided to go to sleep early. You donât blame him. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day of hunting for the curse rampaging Kurokawa.Â
The only light source in the room is coming from the bathroom. You sigh. The idiot mustâve forgotten to turn it off. Nonetheless, you were gonna go get unready either way so you make your way to the half open door.
On the sink is a complimentary toothbrush that you help yourself to. You apply some paste andâ
There is a sound of something sliding shut from behind you. You look up at the mirror. Standing behind you was Gojo. Wet. And naked.Â
âOh my gosh!â You spit out your toothpaste and ran out of the room. How did you fail to see that Gojo was in the restroom? You blame it on the sliding doors separating the shower from the rest of the bathroom. Oh my gosh. Your face feels like itâs on fire. He has a six pack. And why does his stupid hair look like that when it's wet? Your heart was beating at an abnormal rate. This is so inappropriate.
Shortly after your freakout, Gojo steps out of the bathroom. There was no way you could face him now.
âAw, don't be so shy now. Itâs not like this will be the last time youâll see me like this.â Gojo stands in the doorway. There is a towel wrapped around his waist, still leaving him indecent in your eyes.
âI donât like what youâre insinuating Gojo! And lock the door when youâre in the restroom you creep!â You look anywhere but him.
âHey, it wasnât my fault, was it? You were taking so long I thought you left me here alone.â You can practically hear him pouting. âEither way, you were the one checking me out.â
Your eyes widen, âI was not checking you out! Donât flatter yourself.â
âDonât feel ashamed, this can all be yours,â He gestures down to his body.
âYou freak.â you blanch.
He winks at you.
This was going to be a long night.
â â â â â â âÂ
It takes you about half an hour to calm down from the bathroom catastrophe. By now, youâre situated in your futon while Gojo is tucked on the bed. If you had to guess, itâd be nearing midnight around now. You just need to close your eyes and get some sleep before your mission tomorrow.
Except you canât sleep.
Every time you close your eyes, your mind betrays you and an image of Gojo post shower illustrates itself in your mind. And it doesnât help that he sleeps shirtless. You seriously need your mind cleansed.
That wasnât your only issue. The room was sub zero. Who knew traditional ryokans had such advanced air conditioning systems? All you could hear was the air conditioning machine overworking itself. You could even argue that it was colder than Shokoâs morgue. And your sleep shirt and shorts were doing little to help insulate you.Â
âWanna come cuddle with me?â The last person you wanted to hear from breaks the silence. You pretend to be asleep. âI know youâre not asleep! My six eyes tell me that youâre shivering.â Busted.
âI am not cuddling with you.â You stare at the ceiling above you, arms crossed. How could he even propose such an idea? Has he no shame?
âWell I canât face the old granny here if my girlfriend ends up dead by freezing!â
âI am not your girlfriend, Gojo. Nor will I die.â
âThatâs not what she thinks. Plus we have a mission tomorrow, so I canât have you getting sick on me now.â
âIâll be fine, Gojo. Now go to sleep.â
âI run hot when I sleep, yâknow. Let me be your personal heater.â You donât have to see his face to know that heâs grinning.
âI refuse.â
âWell I refuse your refusal.â
You blink.
âExcuse me?â
âYou heard me. Now c'mon,â He pats the spot next to him. âIâll even make a wall in between us.â
You hear the bedsheets shuffle and you have to sit up to see that Gojo was stacking two pillows in the middle of the bed to prove his point. Youâre nearly certain that the only thing youâll be catching soon is a headache if you keep up with his antics. It was a tempting offer, one that you would surely accept if it wasnât Gojo Satoru.
âGojo, Iââ
â...Please?â His voice is softer than you have ever heard it. It was unfair how Gojo was making it harder and harder to reject his offer.
A silent moment passes by.
â...Fine,â You reluctantly get up from your pathetic excuse of a futon. âBut no funny business!â You warn him.Â
You see Gojo perk up from the bed. He looks at you with expectant eyes, âYou got it!â He gives you a thumbs up.Â
Whatever. If Gojo knew what was best for him, he wouldnât try anything. You take in a deep breath before turning to face the opposite direction of where Gojo laid.Â
âGood night [Name],â You hear Gojo whisper. You sigh.
âYeah, yeah, goodnight Gojo.â
Eyes closed, you pray a silent prayer that everything will be fine for the remainder of the mission.
â â â â â â âÂ
Ever since Gojo was young, his body has been used to getting little amounts of sleep. Unsurprisingly, that caused him to have a natural alarm. It was always annoying whenever he woke up at the crack of dawn on a day when he didn't need to, but luckily for him, today it proved to be a blessing. There was an unfamiliar warmth radiating onto his body. Satoru opens his eyes.
He thinks he feels all of his six eyes widen when he feels himself wrapped around another body.
There you were, in all your beauty, lying fast asleep. In his embrace. Soft snores were escaping your mouth and there were stray hairs in your face. Did he mention how beautiful you looked sleeping? He might have to ask Shoko about heart disease because of how fast his heart was beating.
Unfortunately for him, you also seemed to be drifting away from dreamland and back to reality. Your eyes flutter and your eyebrows furrow. Gojo takes this to his advantage and does the worst thing he can think of; pretend to be asleep.
When you wake up, your mind is still hazy from the good nightâs rest you had gotten, but not hazy enough to realize that your body was tangled with anotherâs. And youâre pretty sure the pillow you had been laying on last night was not this hard. You try to delude yourself into believing that this is all a dream, but the effects of your sleep were fading.
It takes all the strength in you to summon the courage to open your eyes. To your horror, you were firmly wrapped in Gojoâs arms and your legs were intertwined.
âWhat the hell?â You pull yourself away from him. On the floor below the bed laid the two pillows that Gojo had set up as a makeshift wall. You stare at them utter shock.
âNo, donât go, Iâll freeze to death,â Gojo whines, miraculously waking up. You glare at him.
âExplain to me what just happened or I swear Gojo, Iâm going toââ You try to threaten him, but you canât seem to formulate anything.
Unlike you, Gojo looked unbothered by the sudden turn of events. He even looked pleased. There was a lopsided smile on his face as he sighed, âWhat can I say, I guess you subconsciously want me after all.âÂ
"I do notâ"
âBut if I had to guess, Iâd say the room got too cold and we most likely cuddled for warmth unconsciously.â He shrugs it off like it was no big deal. You note that his hair is tousled from the night before.
You leave the warm bed you and Gojo had made. His theory was probably true, meaning it was neither of your faults. You purse your lips.
âI suppose that makes sense. I apologize for overreacting, I guess I was under the impression that we had done something lewd last night.â With that comment, you make your way to the bathroom to freshen up both your mind and body.
You donât end up seeing how red Gojoâs face got. It was foreign to feel all the blood rising to his cheeks. He takes one of his hands to slap it over his eyes before chuckling to himself. Yeah, he definitely knows why he likes you.Â
All of a sudden Gojo feels like heâs on top of the world. For you, it was just a moment of weakness.
ââïœĄË. à© â
Extra notes:
gojo wished he and you got to go to the onsen together.Â
gojo also regretted not taking a photo of you sleeping soundly in his arms. it wouldâve been his new wallpaper.Â
for the remainder of the trip, gojo was at an all time high, successfully locating and exorcising the curse in less than an hour.

Not a violent dog | Part 1
Pairing: Logan x fem!Reader
Plot: Back in Wadeâs world Logan meets someone he thought he would never ever see again.
Warnings: slight spoilers for Deadpool 3!!!! mentions of death, angst, cursing, and fluff at the end if you squeeze your eyes at the screen, I havenât written in A WHILE so bear with me
Masterlist
Wade met you in 2016, while he was staying at the X-Men mansion. You didnât look up from your spot behind the counter when he came into the kitchen, your eyes were observing how the colorful cereal chunks were floating in the brownish milk. It didnât take long for him to ultimately recognize you. âYouâre Y/N!â, he exclaimed loudly, as if he made the discovery of a lifetime:â Cat Claw, was it, right?â You didnât respond, instead, your y/e/colored eyes solely looked up. At the sight of his face, you slightly tilted your head. He immediately began ranting about how he truly believed that you could have had your own franchise if Sony cared enough about women before he made a shiver run down your spine.
âYouâre Loganâs girl, right?â, he asked innocently, however, the next thing Wade knew, was how the bowl of cereal slammed against the wall right next to his face. He didnât flinch, instead, he merely ran his finger down the milk stains before putting them into his mouth:â Oat milk, how responsible of you. We should all take better care of Mother-Earth, con-.â But before he had the chance to end his sentence, you made a few long steps toward him until your faces were only a couple of centimeters apart from one another. âThat is so hot.â, Wade whispered while you studied his burned features.
âDonât you ever take his name into your mouth again, or Iâll cut your tongue out!â
âThatâs even hotter!â
Wade very quickly learned that despite your powers, your inability to die, and your unbelievably harsh persona you carried a lot of heartbreak inside. Things between you and Logan didnât end well. You heard about his death through Charles Xavier, a couple of months after he mysteriously disappeared. And never getting any actual explanation or closure had turned you into a person no one could recognize anymore. You were always angry, short-tempered, and mean like a nervous dog. Because letâs call it by its name: you were beyond hurt. There was no term in the dictionary that could fully define how you felt about the whole situation.
So when Wade came across the other Logan, he eventually brought you up. âYouâre a hero in my world, you know. Everyone idolizes you.â, Wade explained, looking down at the canned food and taking it into his hands:â No wait, scratch that- almost everyone loves you.â
Logan, who was sitting with his back turned to Wade only scoffed:â Whoever that person is, theyâre probably smarter than the rest.â âYeah, maybe.â, he simply replied, looking out of the window:â I mean, she doesnât talk about it. Except for this one time where she was really, really drunk and we sang karaoke togetherâŠit was terrific.â
âShe?â
Wade turned his head:â Yeah, Y/N.â He observed how Logan abruptly tensed up, almost as if the name alone switched on something inside of him:â Say it again.â And for one short second one could've argued that Logan was begging. The sound of his voice was almost vulnerable.
The man in the red outfit blinked a couple of times before he gazed into the open air:â We are about to find out something significant for the plot, guys!â, he whispered excitedly before clearing his throat and turning back to Logan: âY/N, you know- the X-Man. Wasted potential if you ask me, Sony couldâve made so much money off of her. Sheâs really popular with women and girls above the age of 14, I-.â
âCut the bullshit!â, he turned in his chair, eyebrows furrowed:â You are telling me that in your world, she is still alive?â
âWhat a plot twist!â
Turns out, Logan lost his version of you years ago on a mission. âIt was supposed to be an easy one.â, Logan explained, while the two men wandered through the desert-looking realm:â Get into the lab, eliminate the mutant killing weapons, and then leave again-.â He took a deep breath, while his eyes roamed over the uninhabited land. His angry eyes suddenly much softer and sadder:â We thought we killed every guard. The bullet came out of nowhere, and hit her right in the chest.â
Only the sound of the wind cut through the stillness. â We were supposed to get married. Charles had already promised that we would be able to build a home in the woods next to the School. So she could become a teacher⊠she always adored the mutant children that lived there. Said she wanted some of her own one day, with meâŠâ
Wade stared at the ground:â I am sorry.â But Logan shook his head in comeback:â Itâs all good. Thatâs how life is.â
âThatâs what she always says as well.â, Wade muttered under his breath, as the two continued walking:â But I know she's always lying to me.â

The Newlywed Game
Summary: Youâre forced to play The Newlywed Game with your ex situationship.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x F. Reader
Warnings: Angst. Smuttish, but not my usual descriptive smut. 18+ Only. Minors DNI.
See my Masterlist here
âI canât.â Thatâs all the explanation you got when Bucky ended your situationship. You were friends with benefits for almost a year. The only rule he had was donât fall in love. He had too much baggage and he never wanted a family. He didnât want anyone to depend on him.
You couldnât blame him, he was traumatized by Hydra. Trapped inside his own body for decades, he was afraid it could happen again. You jumped in head first with him anyways. You were in his bed after every mission, every meeting, every day. You basically lived in his room, not that he would ever admit that. Then one rainy afternoon, you knocked on his door like always. Except this time, he didnât pull you into his warm embrace.
He moved out of the way so you could come in, and immediately you knew something was wrong. You reached for him, ready to console him, desperate for his touch. He had just finished a mission with Sam and heâd been gone for two weeks. You missed him, and he was usually so excited to see you.
When you placed your hand on his cheek, rubbing the scruff that had grown while he was gone, he wrapped his fingers around your wrist removing it. âI canât do this anymore.â His voice was so low you could barely understand. Your eyes narrowed at his words. âHave I done something wrong?â
âThis has gone on for longer than it should have. I canât let it anymore.â Your throat tightens, but you refuse to cry in front of him. You walked out and your relationship with him was never the same. You didnât hang out anymore.
When you were alone, he would leave. He didnât sit beside you during the Friday night movie. He didnât choose you for his partner on game night. The other Avengers didnât know for sure that you were hooking up. You hid it pretty well. They had their suspicions, but neither of you ever confirmed it.
Tony called everyone to the back yard. âWhatâs all this?â Steve asks, pointing to the stage he had set up. âItâs my anniversary tomorrow and Pepper said she always wanted to play the Newlywed Game. So I had this built so we could play.â
âThatâs great, Tony. But who are you all going to play with? Thereâs four set upâs and only two couples.â Steve gestures to Wanda and Vision. âThought about that and Cap, you and Natasha are going to play andâŠ.â He looks at the whole team, everyone looking in different directions trying not to make eye contact. Except for Sharon, who hung around a lot lately. She was getting closer to Bucky, obviously wanting Tony to choose them. You roll your eyes. âBarnes and Y/N. There now we have all our couples. Iâm going to go get Pep, you guys take your spots.â
You look at Bucky,but heâs busy talking to Steve about how ridiculous it is. You hear Sharon agree that he should have chosen someone else. When Pepper comes in, she excitedly claps her hands together. She points to the other teams, âYouâre going down!â She laughs, but you canât help but protest, âThis is rigged! You guys and Wanda and Vision are the only real couples!! How is anyone else supposed to win?â
Tony shoots you a death glare but answers, âCap and Natasha have definitely bumped uglies before. And you and Barnes are close friends. I thought that would make it more fair. But, I do expect to win.â You cross your arms, but accept his answer. Bucky finally looks at you, but itâs not friendly.
Sam comes out, wearing a suit Tony made him wear to host. âIâll explain the rules. You all have a whiteboard, marker, and eraser. I will ask a question and you will write your answer on your boards. If your answer matches your partnerâs you get a point. Iâll eliminate one couple each round until the final tie breaker.â
You take a deep breath. This is hell. But you do know Bucky better than anyone, so as long as he didnât ask any crazy questions, you would be fine. âFirst question. Where is the craziest place you and your partner have had sex?â You freeze. Of course Stark had these wild questions. If you both answered the same, everyone would know that you had hooked up.
You think about lying, but decide the ball should be in Buckyâs court. Youâll answer correctly, and if he doesnât youâll know he doesnât want anyone to know. You quickly scribble your answer, waiting on Sam to call on you. Tonyâs answer is Steveâs room and Pepperâs matched. Everyone laughed while Steve said Tony has to pay for his room to be deep cleaned.
Wanda and Vision both answer âin the air.â Natasha and Steve said a table in the meeting room. You turn your board to reveal your answer and Bucky shows his. You look and see that he has answered correctly. âThe quinjet?! Damn yâall are nasty!â Sam laughs.
Youâre taken back to that moment. You, Bucky, and Bruce were on your way back from a mission. Bruce was driving the quinjet, but activated the mode Tony installed for breaks. As soon as he started snoring, Bucky led you to the bathroom. He took you against the wall, metal hand across your mouth to stifle your moans. It was one of the hottest things youâd ever done. Your suit clung to you in the worst ways after that. His cum dripping down your legs, it was nearly impossible to take off.
The others look at each other in surprise. Scott yells âI told you they were hooking up. No one believed me!â Sharon looks at Bucky so harshly that if looks could kill, heâd be dead. He just shrugs his shoulders. Of course, he would be hooking up with her. Why wouldnât he? She was pretty and it had been three months since he ended things with you.
The next question was âWho hogs the covers more?â Everyone got it right except for Steve and Natasha. She said that wasnât a fair question because they never actually slept when they were together. The round continued with four more questions. At the end, Steve and Natasha were eliminated because they had the least amount of points. The rest of you were tied.
âWhat is your partnerâs pet name for you?â Sam asks. Thatâs easy, âdollâ, you write. When you reveal your answers, Sharon looks furious. That must be what he calls her too. It stings, thinking of them together. You donât have time to dwell on it before Sam asks the next question. âWhat is the highest number of orgasms your partner has given you in one night?â Your eyes widen, you know the answer, but you donât know if he will remember.
Tony and Pepper answer three, Tony grins like the cocky asshole he is. Vision and Wanda answer two. Bucky raises his board, âSix?!â Sam shouts, âHow were you guys fucking this much and nobody knew?â He laughs. The round surprisingly ends with Wanda and Vision getting eliminated.
But youâre busy thinking about that night. Buckyâs head between your thighs for hours. He barely came up for breath. You were sure he would smother, but he insisted. He didnât stop until the sheets were soaked, your legs were shaking so hard, youâd immediately fall if you tried to stand up.
He had you screaming his name all night. When he finally started fucking you, he took his time, pulling another orgasm out of you before going back down for another taste. He finally came with you on top. He had to lift your limp body on him, using you like a sex doll. You couldnât move if you needed too. It was the best sex youâd ever had.
âItâs time for the tie breaker question. Answers donât have to match, the crowd will vote on the most romantic answers.â Sam states. âWhen did you know you were in love?â Tony and Pepper immediately begin writing. Youâre certain youâre going to lose this one. Bucky was never in love with you. You write your answer, deciding to answer truthfully.
Tony and Pepperâs answers make you tear up, they are so in love. You can only hope youâll find that one day. You and Bucky reveal your boards at the same time. You glance at his, his answer knocks the breath out of your lungs because it matches yours. The Avengerâs Barbecue. You lock eyes, his gaze softens as he reads your answer.
Youâll never forget such a pivotal moment in your life. All of the Avengers and Shield agentsâ friends and family were invited to play games, eat, and have a good time. Emily, who helped coordinate your missions brought her husband and three young children. A baby girl, a two year old boy, and a five year old girl. The children were drawn to Bucky. The two older children swung from his metal arm while he held the baby with his other one.
The image made your ovaries explode. You couldnât help imagining how he would be if you had kids. He laughed as they asked him a thousand questions, playing on him like a jungle gym. You knew without a doubt, you were in love.
Bucky took a deep breath when he read your answer. Why was it the same as his? Did you know? Was it a prank you were playing on him? Emilyâs children were entranced with you from the moment they met you. He couldnât blame them, he felt the same. They had played with him for an hour before the food was ready. When Tony told everyone to make a plate, you offered to watch the kids while she and her husband got their food.
Bucky watched as you comforted the crying infant. The two older children sat beside you while you read from a book the girl got from their bag. Bucky knew he was screwed. He could see a life like this so clearly. Your belly round with his baby, while you tended to your other children. He didnât want to admit how badly he wanted that. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks. He was in love with you.
That night he made love to you, it was softer, slower than the other times he touched you. He knew you could tell the difference too. He placed one last kiss to your lips, willing himself to let you go. The next morning, he left for his two week mission with Sam. He convinced himself that it was for the best if he ended things. He didnât want to hurt you. You might be okay with it now, but years later you would regret it.
Youâd realize having the Winter Soldier for a husband wasnât worth everything you would have to go through. Then Sharon started flirting with him after Steve rejected her. He hadnât so much as hugged her, but she acted like she was entitled to him.
Everyone voted for Tony and Pepper to win. They were the real couple and it was their anniversary tomorrow. Tony was going to treat everyone to dinner for being such good sports. You got out of there as soon as it was over. You needed a nap before going to dinner. It was all too much for you. How the hell did you and Bucky make it so far in the game? Why did he have the same answer for the last question? You convince yourself that he knew how you felt.
That night changed everything. The sex was different. If you didnât know better, youâd swear he was making love to you. He had to be messing with your head. Somehow you manage to fall asleep even with your thoughts racing.
You wake up two hours later, just enough time to get ready for dinner. You put on the little black dress Bucky loved. If he wants to play games, bring it on. You apply your perfume when a light knock sounds on your door. You would recognize the knock anywhere. âCome inâ you call. Bucky walks in, his tight black t-shirt hugging him in the best ways.
âHey doll, we need to talk.â You put your earrings in, anger surging through you. âTalk about what? How you were trying to humiliate me up there? How youâre banging Sharon now? Thereâs nothing to talk about. You should just go.â
âHumiliate you? What about me? How did you know the answer to the last question?â He demands, charging toward you. âI answered it truthfully, James. How did you know my answer?â You ask, hands on your hips. âI answered honestly too.â He confesses, his blue eyes sweeping over the swell of your breasts.
âStop lying! I donât see what the point is. We have been over for three months. Why are you doing this?â He shakes his head, âI was telling the truth. I realized I was in love with you when all those kids were sitting in your lap. I could see our life together. And I wanted it, the kids, the white picket fence, the big house, you.â
âBucky, I wanted all that with you too. Seeing you playing with those kids made me realize it too.â You sigh, feeling relieved to finally get it off your chest. His lips crash into yours, hands moving at lightning speed to remove all of your clothing. Youâre under him in seconds, panting against his lips as he rubs himself against you.
Bucky moans as he sinks into you. Heâs always known deep down you were made for him, now he has no choice but to accept it. âIâm so in love with you.â He tells you between thrusts. You claw at his back, his confession almost sends you over the edge. âI am so in love with you, Buck.â You kiss him gently. âSay it again.â He smiles, as you get lost in each other.
