Die For You. ✷ Lando Norris
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Lando Norris x Friend!reader
Summary: When he’s the only one that’s allowed to pick on you. (And unfortunately someone else picks on you, and it backfires.)
Word Count: 1.1k
Disclaimer/s: fluff… kinda… defensive!Lando 👅. A tad bit of body shaming i fear …
Vera’s Voice! hi Enya. For U. i hope i did this justice.
Tumblr media
The bar was alive with laughter and music, and you were perched at the counter, sipping on your favorite fruity cocktail. As usual, Lando couldn’t resist making a comment the moment he saw you.
“Another one?” He said, sauntering up next to you with a smug grin. “What is that now? Your third? Fourth?“ He grinned with a small pause.
“Be careful. We can’t afford to have you tumbling like a drunk mess in the streets later.”
You glared at him, already irritated. “I can handle myself, and this is my second drink. Thank you very much.” A scoff and eye roll emitted from your body.
“Yeah, right,” He replied, his grin widening. “Say that again when you inevitably start slurring your words and crying about how much you hate tequila.”
“Ha. Funny.” You deadpanned.
“I’m serious,” He pressed, leaning on the counter with a quirked brow and stupid smile. “You’re a lightweight. One more of those, and you’re topless on a counter.”
You scoffed, taking another sip of your drink just to spite him. “And I’m sure you’d enjoy that.”
“Maybe so,” He fired back with a sheepish shrug. “But I’m just looking out for you,” Another wink.
Before you could respond, one of Lando’s mates—you couldn’t remember his name, they weren’t that close honestly—wandered over, clearly overhearing the exchange.
“Seriously,” He said, his eyes scanning the glass in your hand. “Another sugary monstrosity? You know that stuff makes you bloat, right?”
The words hit like a punch to the gut. You froze, the insult hanging in the air as your self-consciousness surged.
“And for the record,” He continued, smirking like he’d just delivered the joke of the century, “It’s not exactly flattering. Just saying.”
Lando’s head snapped toward him so fast it was almost comical. But there was nothing funny about the deadly look on his face.
“What’d you say?” Lando’s voice was low and ice-cold, a tone you’d never heard from him before as her quirked a brow with a repulsed look.
His friend blinked, caught off guard. “Just telling your friend here that she’s gonna get fat if she continues drinking all that—“
Lando cut him off with a light shove, almost like it was a warning for him to shut up
“Relax, mate. I was just jok—”
“Yeah? Well, it wasn’t funny,” He cut him off sharply, now stepping forward to put himself in front of you. “Who even says that? You think that’s funny?”
“I didn’t mean anything by it,” The guy stammered, clearly starting to regret opening his mouth.
“Doesn’t matter,” Lando snapped. “You don’t talk to her like that. Ever. Got it?”
“Alright, chill, mate. I didn’t know she was off-limits or whatever.”
“Off-limits?” Lando repeated, his voice rising. “She’s not off-limits, she’s just better than your pathetic attempts at humor. So why don’t you piss off.”
The guy muttered something under his breath before walking away, leaving the two of you standing in tense silence.
“Lando…” You started, but he turned to face you before you could say more.
His expression softened as he ran a hand through his hair. “I hope you don’t believe a word he said.“
You swallowed hard, still feeling the sting of the comment but touched by Lando’s protectiveness. “Thanks for…that,” You said quietly.
“I mean it,” Lando said, stepping closer. “I know I’m a prick but it’s all in good fun.” A pause. “I also never make comments about your appearance.. considering you’re gorgeous…” He trailed off, his sly way of sneaking in a compliment making you slightly blush.
You huffed out a small laugh, your lips twitching into a faint smile. “I don’t know what’s more shocking: that you just defended me or that you actually said something nice for once.”
“Don’t get used to it,” He said, his usual smirk creeping back.
“Of course,” You muttered, rolling your eyes. “Who else will tell me I’m stupid every second they can?”
“Only me,” He added, his tone more serious. “No one else gets to. Not like that.”
You looked up at him, his sincerity catching you off guard. “Deal.”
And just like that, the teasing and bickering was back—but this time, you couldn’t help but feel a little safer, knowing Lando had your back.

May you please do yandere platonic season 2 squid game reader with 13 year old reader who wants to stay
Hi can do!
Yᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ Pʟᴀᴛᴏɴɪᴄ Sǫᴜɪᴅ Gᴀᴍᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ Tᴇᴇɴ ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ
Tumblr media
(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)
You had managed to get yourself into the games, congratulations..! I guess..
You tried to blend in but you stuck out like a sore thumb.
So many people had questions especially this guy named Gi-hun.
For some odd reason he was very insistent on you leaving.
You just couldn’t understand why, all you were gonna do was play some silly games for some cash.
How dangerous can that be?
During the first game red light green light, you knew you had this in the bag.
That was until the first shot was fired, your entire body froze. Even with Gi-hun screaming instructions you were still frozen.
Even when people began to start moving again you stood there frozen.
Tears are down your face, you were terrified.
Then someone grabbed your shoulder, it was this lady with a lip ring(player380).
She guided you along the field.
You had 30 seconds left, the people that were at the finish line screamed words of encouragement towards you.
It was strange to have so many people cheering you on all at once.
You crossed the line finally, and collapsed into player 380’s arms.
After the game you sat on the floor, ignoring the sympathetic looks from others.
You sat there thinking on what to do.
Thats when player 388 came and sat with you, he introduced himself and his friends to you.
“Are you ok..?” Gi-hun asked in a tone that could only be described as pity.
“Yea.. I think” you said quietly.
That’s when armed guards came in, they told y’all about the voting system and how you could vote to stay in the game or not.
Everyone placed their votes when it was your turn the room became eerily silent.
You could feel everyone’s eyes staring at you. Your hand hovered over the X button but then you thought about it.
About your parents and their struggle, you thought about all the loans they had to take out just to keep you in school.
You hesitated before pushing the O button.
You heard a collection of gasps and cheers.
You slowly walked towards the O side avoiding Gi-Huns look of disbelief.
You were met with pats on the back and words of support.
Then in a flash you were pulled to the side by some purpled haired guy(thanos) he did his whole introduction.
You thought he was insane, he looked cracked out.
But every time you tried leaving he would pull you back.
He looked at you as if you were an artifact that needed safe keeping.
Fortunately you pulled away by dae-ho(388).
That was when you met player 001(frontman) he stared at you intensely studying you.
They questioned you on why you chose O but you didn’t feel like explaining yourself.
From then on you had multiple people trying to convince you to join their side. They wanted you to quit the game.
You protested you wanted to stay in, but no matter what you said they never let up.
You started to not like the people you were stuck with.
Part of the reason was they treated you like a baby, some of them even coddled you.
It was nice a first, people gave you some of their food, they lended their protection to you.
But in the end it became much more annoying rather than loving.
Around the second game is when things got really bad.
People all around you offering for you to join their team, you walked around until you got pulled onto Thanos team.
You were in charge or spinning top and all though you were good you could barely focus with all the people yelling.
You managed but not before yelling some very unkind words.
After the games you had people practically swarming you, you wanted to cry and throw up all at the same time.
Then a miracle happened, player 001 pulled you out of the crowd.
Yelling at them all while holding you close to himself.
He held you close for a while, it got kinda awkward after the first 20 minutes.
It was a very overwhelming experience being in the game, along with the killing games, people were starting to seriously scare you.
I mean they were having full on arguments over you. It was kinda insane.
Even the guards treated you differently, they gave you the occasional head pat after a game, they slipped you extra food, and no matter what time it was they always let you use the restroom.
It was nice to have so many people care about you but care becomes smothering after a while.
You started becoming the apple of everyone’s eye, everyone was just so 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜.
A/n: I hoped you liked this one, I love u all so much bye bye✌︎('ω')✌︎

jude taking a nap while resting his head on your ass
short and sweet 😌
your afternoon had been filled with studying. you were back in uni after a long and deserved break and although you didn’t need or had any soon due dates, you wanted to get a head start on your work. you laid on jude’s bed, scrolling on your ipad while on the phone with your friend. “no cause that’s exactly what i was thinking! i told her that-”
“babe? im so tired-” jude’s voice sounded in a despair whine. his shoulders low and eyes almost closed as he walked to his bed. “give me a sec-” you said to your friends and muted the call. “why don’t you sleep for a bit? we still have a lot of time before we go out,” you suggested turning sideways to rub his back.
“mhm yeah gonna do that, im so exhausted,” jude said while yawning, rubbing his eyes as he worded his words. “wake me up okay? i don’t want to sleep too much or else i won’t sleep at all tonight,” jude stated, making you nod your head understanding, giving him a tired kiss to which he returned.
“so i was saying-” you returned to the call now whispering since you didn’t want to wake jude up. you understood how he felt and the last thing you wanted was to annoy him while he wanted to rest. “she had gotten up and turned… just give me one sec again,” you scrambled nervously. jude had shifted over and rested his head on your left ass cheek as his hand then placed on your right cheek.
“jude why don’t you sleep on the pillow?” you tried suggesting, but he shook his head, digging his head deeper into your plump cheeks. “no. this is so much comfortable. so soft and squishy,” jude smirked, kissing your left side as he heard your giggle. “just stay still while i sleep. i promise you this is so comfortable and all i need right now,” jude said strangled, his eyes fluttering in delight.
“judeee”
“baby please im almost asleep,” jude whined and fell back unconscious to sleep. you let out a deep sigh, accepting fate that your boyfriend was using your ass as his personal pillow. “my ass,” jude caressed it as you let out a giggle. you returned and apologized to your friend, who just teased the two of you for being so clingy yet so passionate.
jude was fast asleep, hearing his deep snores and breathing as he fell deeper and deeper into his sleep. he had his hand still resting on your ass cheek, his cheek smushed cutely as his snored away. you took a small picture, wanting to show him later. you yawned too, your call finished soon, accepting your fate as well and taking a small nap. you set an alarm to ensure you wouldn’t oversleep and forget your night plans. you take one more glance at jude and smiled.
“why is he like this?”

Tumblr media
The sound of the front door creaking open was followed by the unmistakable pitter-patter of little feet. You smiled to yourself, folding the last of the laundry on the couch. Moments later, your five-year-old daughter, Ella, burst into the living room, her curls bouncing as she carried her backpack like it weighed a hundred pounds.
“Mommy! Daddy!” she chirped, her face lighting up with excitement. She flung her backpack near the door (though not quite in its proper spot, as usual).
Remus stepped into the room, wiping his hands on a dish towel. “There’s my little dove,” he said warmly, crouching down to scoop her up. “How was school today, sweetheart?”
Ella giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck. “It was soooo fun! We did painting, and I made a butterfly! Oh, and guess what?”
Remus kissed her cheek, smiling. “What, little dove?”
“I kissed a boy today! On the cheek!” Ella declared proudly, her eyes sparkling.
You had to bite back your laughter as you watched Remus freeze mid-crouch. His face twisted into pure disbelief, his mouth opening and closing like a fish.
“You—you what?” he sputtered, standing up straight so fast he nearly lost his balance. Ella clung to him, giggling, while he turned to you, wide-eyed. “Dove, did you hear that?! She kissed a boy!”
“I heard,” you said, laughing softly. “She’s starting young.”
Remus didn’t seem to share your amusement. He looked back at Ella, his voice full of panic. “Why? Why did you kiss a boy?”
Ella tilted her head, her expression puzzled. “Because I like him, Daddy. He’s funny.”
“Funny?” Remus repeated, his tone incredulous. He ran a hand through his hair, muttering under his breath, “Funny. Funny.” Then, looking back at her with mock seriousness, he said, “Ella, honey, if he’s funny, you laugh! You don’t kiss him!”
Ella blinked at him, clearly not understanding why this was such a big deal. “But you kiss Mommy, and she’s funny.”
You couldn’t hold back your laugh as Remus whipped around to look at you, his face betraying a mix of indignation and panic. “Dove! Don’t laugh; this is serious!”
“Is it?” you teased, walking over to him. “She’s got a point, you know.”
“She does not have a point,” he countered, before turning back to Ella. “Sweetheart, who’s this boy?”
“Tommy,” Ella said with a dreamy little sigh. “He’s my bestest friend. He made me laugh so hard today that juice came out of my nose!”
Remus groaned, pressing a hand to his face. “Tommy,” he muttered, as if the name itself was offensive. “What kind of name is Tommy anyway? Sounds like the name of someone who runs into walls.”
Ella gasped, her tiny hands on her hips. “Daddy! He’s nice!”
“I’m sure he’s nice,” Remus replied, crouching again to look her in the eye. “But darling, you’re too young to be kissing boys. No more kissing boys, okay?”
“But why?” Ella whined, pouting. “You kiss Mommy, and I don’t see what’s wrong.”
“Because I married Mommy!” he said, exasperated. “And because Mommy is—well, she’s—” He paused, looking at you helplessly. “Dove, help me out here.”
“Because I’m Mommy,” you supplied, grinning. “That’s the best reason there is.”
Ella tilted her head thoughtfully, then asked, “So if I marry Tommy, can I kiss him?”
“Absolutely not!” Remus said, his voice cracking. “You’re not marrying anyone for the next fifty years.”
At that, you couldn’t help but laugh, pulling both your husband and daughter into a hug. “Remus, she’s five. It was just a kiss on the cheek.”
“That’s how it starts!” he argued, his arms instinctively wrapping around you and Ella protectively. “First it’s a kiss on the cheek, and then suddenly they’re eloping to Paris. Not on my watch.”
Ella giggled and kissed his cheek. “You’re silly, Daddy.”
Remus sighed dramatically but kissed her back. “Only for you, little dove. But promise me—no more kissing boys without asking me first, alright?”
“Okay,” Ella said sweetly, though the mischievous glint in her eye made you suspect this wouldn’t be the last you’d hear of Tommy.
“Come on,” you said, ruffling her curls. “Let’s get you a snack.”
As you led Ella toward the kitchen, you glanced back at Remus, who was still crouched on the floor, muttering to himself, “Tommy. Tommy. Sounds like the name of a kid who eats dirt. He should eat dirt. Defiling my little dove.”

Steph Catley x reader blurb - reader and Steph have been dating for a while and reader also has a dog so they decide it’s time for them to meet. Cute puppy park play date. Dogs become inseparable so Steph is like “well guess I’m stuck with ya now”
We’re stuck now || Steph Catley x reader
Masterlist
Summary You and Steph really are stuck together now after finding out your dogs love each other, but you wouldn’t have it any other way
You and Steph had been seeing each other for a little over three months now.
It had been the best three months getting to know Steph and falling for her.
You’d met through a mutual friend, she blonde and loud, Beth.
Beth had invited a few friends round to have a farewell party for viv and you’d both met then.
Since that moment, you’d been on plenty of dates and were both starting to fall in love with one another.
Today you were taking a big step in your relationship - you were meeting each others dogs.
You were meeting Calvin for the first time and Steph was meeting your dog - Ziggy - for the first time.
Although it didn’t seem like a big deal, your dogs were like your babies and to you and Steph, it was a very big deal.
You’d arranged it a few weeks back and had agreed to meet at a doggy park, that way the dogs could run around freely whilst you and Steph could stroll around casually without worrying about the dogs.
The moment had finally arrived, you spotting steph and Calvin inside the park.
You smiled brightly as you spotted her, walking towards her before enveloping her in a hug, ziggy pulling you with all her might trying to get to Calvin.
“Hiya, ziggy.” Steph said, crouching down and stroking ziggy’s curls.
You kept ziggy on the lead to see what she was like with Calvin.
Steph also held on tight to Calvin’s lead, just in case they didn’t get along.
You and Steph both let out a sigh of relief when they started playing happily together.
Letting them off the lead, they ran around with each other, you and Steph laughing at their energy.
“I’m happy they get along.” You said, intertwining your fingers with Stephs as you walked along the path.
“Me too.” Steph told you, sending a smile to you. “It’s a good job they do because I love you and I didn’t want this to affect us.”
Your cheeks blushed at her words, the two of you never admitting that you loved each other.
“You love me?”
“I do.” Steph nodded with a smile
“I love you too.”
The two of you began to lean in, your eyes closed as you prepared for your lips to connect but instead of connecting with steph’s lips, your face was met with a slobbery tongue.
“Calvin!” Steph scolded him, pushing him off you as her face turned red with embarrassment.
“Someone likes me then.” You joked, stroking him before he ran off to play with Ziggy. “Look like we’re definitely stuck now.” You joked again, gesturing to the two dogs playing with each other.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

FRIENDS & CUFFS
Tumblr media
summary: y/n has only been curious about Eddie’s handcuffs after they began dating. she wondered why he never used them on her, and at first, long told her she didn’t know anything about that life. she soon found out that Eddie had a lot to teach her.
warnings: quick friends to lovers storyline, making out, fem receiving oral from male, reader weakens after orgasm, slight innocent reader, drug dealer Eddie (not really mentioned), rough sex, bondage (Eddie’s handcuffs/chains), missionary, doggy, no protection, crying, whining, a lot of male noises, pet names, chocking, etc.
note: we haven’t done an Eddie Munson fan fiction in a while. we still love him, so, there will be more. more stranger things in general. you see what I did there? — nevermind.
———
Steve nearly asked Eddie every day since he graduated, when he was going to make a move on y/n. He hated watching the two drink and get close, yet never make a move.
When people would ask them if they were together, or assume, anyone could tell they the nervousness entered the room.
Not too long ago, y/n and Eddie finally made a move. It seemed so perfect how they both leaned in to feel each other’s lips.
“I think we should stop — You’re drunk, and it’s getting late,” Eddie whispered after y/n stopped fake fighting on top of him. “What if I won’t want to sleep just yet?” Y/n asked, a bit shy, but the alcohol in her body, helped her gain confidence.
“You’re drinks, princess, and I’m not. I don’t want you to regret this, and mess our friendship up,” Eddie said, really wanting to taste her, but she was afraid of showing what he’s been wanting to do with her.
“A kiss could never ruin our friendship, Eddie,” y/n said, slightly sounding desperate as her eyes could barely stay open. “Wanna do more than just kiss you, y/n,” Eddie admitted.
Y/n’s heart skipped a beat at what her best friend said. She thought she was the only one who wanted to experiment with him. She felt nasty, but now, she felt loose.
The two both crashed on each other’s lips, making g out rough but passionate. None of them have kissed like this before. They would’ve never mixed their saliva like this with anyone, but because it’s them, they wanted to do much more.
The night ended with y/n halfway passed out, and Eddie’s face resting on y/n’s thigh, dripping juice from y/n’s throbbing heat. “So good for me — I wanna get used to this,”
Now, the two are dating, happier than ever, but y/n has been curious lately. She didn’t pay much attention when they were just friends, but now that they’re dating, she thought about Eddie’s handcuffs.
Most partners would be jealous, but y/n? She was curious. She thought to herself plenty of times how he would use them on her, and why he hadn’t done it yet. They’ve only been sexual for a short time, but if he were kinky like that, why wouldn’t he mention it?
“You good, sweetheart?” Eddie asked after turning to his girlfriend who seemed to be daydreaming. “Yeah, I was just thinking,” y/n said, not knowing if she should bring this up as a conversation so soon her their relationship.
“What is it? What were you thinking about?” The metalhead asked as he leaned back on his bed, taking his eyes off the weed he was pre-rolling for his rich customers who couldn’t do it on their own.
“So, uh — I noticed the handcuffs, and I was curious,” y/n said as she stared at the cuffs that were basically chains, dangling from a hook in his wall. She knew that had to be for something sexual.
“Hey, y/n, look — I swear on my uncle, I’ve never used them in anyone, and never planned to. I just liked the thought of them near me. I’ve even thought about you in them,” Eddie spoke quietly, a bit embarrassed by his truth.
“Oh, wait, I wasn’t jealous or anything. I just was curious on why you didn’t use them on me yet,” y/n said, making Eddie's eyes widen. For the longest, he had thought y/n was innocent, and she was. She was just open-minded when it came to her boyfriend.
“You’re not ready for that, princess,” Eddie chuckled lightly. “Why not?” Y/n asked, a bit offended as she crossed her arms. “Being restrained means you can’t do anything. I don’t think that it’s a good idea to put you in something like that, knowing you’d wanna get out,”
“What do you mean, want to get out? I can take it,” y/n said, only making the man laugh. “You can’t even take me slow in doggy. What makes you think you can take me deep up front with your pretty hands cuffed?”
Eddie shifted in the bed to cup y/n’s chin, slightly teasing her because they both knew she wasn’t a taker. Especially with his length.
“I-I can take it — It’s not even that bad,” y/n said, making Eddie throw himself back onto his bed with a loud laugh, knowing his uncle wasn’t home to tell him to shut the hell up.
“What!? You’re mean as fuck, you know?” Y/n said as she kept her arms crossed. “Oh, really, baby? I’m sorry, it’s just — You’re a comedian,” Eddie kept laughing, only making y/n roll her eyes.
“C’mon, I’m just pullin’ your tit, baby,” Eddie leaned up to hug y/n, but she moved away. “Babe, don’t start this. I was just kidding,” Eddie tried hugging y/n again, but this time she pushed him away. Of course, not too hard. She was just being dramatic.
“And, that’s why we can’t do what you wanna do. You can’t even handle being picked on a little bit,” Eddie said as he pushed at y/n’s shoulder lightly, slightly feeling bad for what he did.
“Whatever, I’ll be fine,” y/n said, making y/n sigh as he rolled his eyes. “Fine — We can use em, but ion wanna hear none of that cryin', okay?” Eddie jumped off of the bed to get his handcuffs that had dust all over them.
“Really?” Y/n asked, a bit excited, but knowing she wouldn’t be too excited soon. “Ah huh, but only one rule,” Eddie said with a smirk as he untangled the chains. “Yeah?” Y/n innocently asked, not knowing how quick of a turn this would take.
“The only thing stopping me, is our safe word,” before y/n could agree with a smile, Eddie lunged at her, grabbing her quest roughly to cuff them as quick as possible.
“Hey,” y/n said with an eye roll, not knowing he’d get in the mood this fast. “Not a word from you, princess. Let’s see how good you think you can take it,” Eddie said as he placed the chains where they needed to be.
Seeing y/n in this sight, made him harder than he thought he could get. She was always beautiful, but seeing her innocent body slightly retrained, knowing she was actually ready for what was coming, made him want to burst then and there.
“Always thought about tying you up at school. I was a little perv-nerd when it came to you, princess. You always looked and smelled so good — Had to keep myself from throwing you in my van with your hands and legs tied,”
Eddie was in an emotion he couldn’t control. He was either not sure about putting his pretty girl through this, or he was getting too dark to the point he would black out and not remember anything he’d do to her tonight.
“Pretties thighs — Pretties body — Pretties fucking face,” Eddie slightly growled as he gripped y/n’s face. The younger girl whined with huge eyes, feeling her heat get wet.
“I know, baby — Hearts probably rising. Maybe a hint of fear, knowing you can’t get loose — Don’t worry. You know, I’ll take good care of you,”
Eddie quickly began tugging on y/n’s clothes until parts of her showed more than before. She had already had her night dress in, so exposing her bra-covered breast was easy.
“You sure you want this y/n because, fuck — I won’t be able to stop myself,” Eddie warned as he climbed on top of y/n, pulling her dress up as she slightly moved at his cold hands grazing her skin.
“U-Use me — Please,” y/n stuttered, not knowing if she should’ve said it. “What’s the safe word?” Eddie asked in a stern tone. “Red,” y/n said, feeling her heart raise. This was actually happening, and she only had to question him once.
“Good girl,” Eddie grunted as he reached into his jeans to pull himself out. “And, that’s the only thing I wanna hear from you tonight,” Eddie said as he pulled y/n’s panties to the side.
“I-I’ll try,” y/n spoke, making Eddie shake his head with a chuckle. “You’re always doing a terrible job. Just means I’ll have to start off rough,” before anything, Eddie doubly pushed through y/n’s walls, causing her to cry out in pain and pleasure.
“Yeah? You feel that? Feel how deep I am inside of you? I told you doggy would be the only position you could truly handle — This is next level,” Eddie couldn’t stop but grin down at the struggles woman.
“S-So much,” y/n whined low, only making Eddie shush her. “Nah uh, what did I say? Didn’t I say to keep that pretty mouth closed? Hm? — You’re the one who wanted this, so accept the journey,”
Eddie grabbed both sides of y/n’s waist before pushing down onto the mattress. Y/n knew he was positioning himself to fuck her rough. He’s never gone too rough, but she asked for it tonight.
“Hush it up, princess — You wanted it,” Eddie continued saying as he pounded down into y/n, going the deepest he could get at the start of his session. After being handcuffed, there would be no room for taking it slow.
“E-Eddie,” y/n cried out as she pulled one of her restraints. At times, she’d forget that she wouldn’t be able to get out. “Wanna break free? Keep trying, princess — Makes this so much hotter,” Eddie growled with a smile, looking down at the way y/n pulled on the chains.
“This is the tightest you’ve ever been — The way you’re soaking around me, only makes me closer,” Eddie felt himself twitch. He didn’t want to cum this quick, but it didn’t matter. He’s always been able to keep going.
“Eddie- Eddie, you — The condoms. You forgot the condoms,” y/n took forever to say what she was trying to say. “Oh, really? Guess that’s your luck, hm?” Eddie leaned in front of y/n’s face.
Deep down, Eddie felt bad for slipping into her without protection. He had completely forgotten, but he didn’t want to get out of character. He had to somehow make sure y/n was 100% with what was going on.
“Tell me you want me to stop. Tell me. Tell me!” Eddie slightly yelled as he snapped his hips, wanting to keep his work going. He could feel the way she fluttered around him. She was so close.
“Too much, Eds — I’m gonna cum,” y/n made the mistake of telling him how close she was. “And, you want me to stop? When you’re so close? C’mon,” Eddie leaned into y/n’s ear so she could hear his groans better.
The room was filled with wet slaps, whining, growling, and a bunch is cuss words from Eddie. He couldn’t keep himself together. This situation was too much for him. He was going to explode.
“E-Eddie, slow down — Please,” y/n tried begging the man, but he wouldn’t listen. Why would he? She hadn’t used the safe word yet. “Want me to slow down?” Eddie asked as he leaned up.
“Yes, yes,” y/n huffed, surprised he actually slowed down. She had thought he got soft, but little did she know, he was just getting a short break. “Want me to be nicer? Take it easy on you?” He asked as he softly placed his hands around her neck.
“Please-“ y/n was cut off by the grip of his hands. “Then you asked the wrong one to chain you up, sweetheart,” Eddie spat before he began slamming into her, making the young lady cry out instantly.
“E-Eds! C-Can’t anymore — I can’t!” Y/n kicked and arched her back, trying to control herself, but her cunt continued to squeeze around Eddie, only assuring him that he was doing exactly what she wanted. Using her.
“That’s it — Keep struggling — You’re going nowhere, and this isn’t even the beginning — I have so many loads I’ve been wanting to empty into you,” Eddie tightened his grip a bit more to hear her struggle for air.
For a second, Eddie thought he might have been going too far tonight. Quickly handcuffing her, saying mean things, pinning her down, and fucking get rougher than he’s ever done.
The only thing that helped him was her words. She never once came close to the word red. She would’ve said it by now, and she would never come to him later and say she was uncomfortable. Y/n wasn’t like that.
That’s how Eddie knew y/n probably enjoyed this more than him. She loved faking that she needed him to stop. He even saw a small pour from her when he slowed down a few minutes ago.
“C-Cumming — Cunming,” y/n’s body stiffened before she shook. “That’s it- That’s it — Fucking take it,” the older man growled as he pounded her, wanting her juice to splash anywhere it could.
“Ian stoppin’ either, baby — Told you to keep that fucking mouth shut, didn’t I?” Eddie asked, but y/n didn’t answer. Her eyes were landing everywhere but on him. She felt out of it already.
“Didn’t I!?” The man shouted as he shook y/n by her neck to catch her attention. “S-Sorry,” tears streamed from her eyes, upset at herself for not taking it like she swore she could.
Right as Eddie went to assure her that she was fine, she spoke, shocking him.
“I-I’ll be good, I promise. Please cum in me. D-Don’t pull out and punish me,” she cried. “I’ll do anything, Eds, just- Please, use me,”
“Jesus’s H. Christ,” Eddie huffed as he pulled out. He quickly turned his girlfriend around, knowing the chains were long enough for her to be comfortable. He took no time to push back in her, roughly, with a warning.
Y/n wanted to speak out loud to thank him, he she kept quiet. She wanted to be good like she promised.
“You’re just a slut, y/n — A dirty fucking slut, and I knew it from how you dressed at parties — You always got drunk before you sat on my lap, facing me- Dragging that pretty pussy across my clothes cock — Swore you even stained my jeans, once,”
Y/n whined, happy that he noticed his much she wanted him before they got together. Yeah, a bit of embarrassment was felt, but the thought of being caught was what made her close to another orgasm.
“You’re in for a ride with me, princess. Especially after I coat these walls,”

Tumblr media
lose yourself sometimes…
that’s what vi always told her shortly before the incident. powder knew she meant well, that she wanted powder to be a little more reckless, a little bit freer than she was when vi started going to the academy, that she wanted her sister to make some mistakes and not regret them. that’s why she accepted the invitation to a party that was just before the first day of academy.
“powder and… y/n!” claggor said before taking another sip of his red cup. powder looked up from the bottle, eyes locking on your form as you down your drink and jump up after a couple of back pats from a friend.
you were an old friend of vi’s, started at the academy at the same year and the two of you went to the same gym and sports team all of your years up until… before everything happened, vi had you over more than a couple of times and powder has stared at you from her window more times than she wanted to admit, watching as her sister and you did your silly games and competitions. but how couldn’t she? you noticed her in ways no one did, she wasn’t just vi’s sister to you, she was powder every time you talked or mentioned her.
…and don’t miss out on the things I did.
the closet wasn’t a piece of furniture, it was a walk-in closet, the small room’s wall filled with expensive shoes and dresses that probably belonged to your friend’s mother.
“it’s rude to stare you know…” you trailed off, looking over your shoulder to find free space so you can lean against the wall. powder’s cheeks heat up, burying her face in her shoulder but still trying to steal some glances towards your way. your shirt was a lower cut than usual, your black jeans much tighter, perfectly capturing the curves and toning of your body.
“I never knew you noticed- you could have mentioned if it was making you uncomfortable!” powder muttered, sort of teasingly, taking a step to the other side of the closet. embarrassment washed over her face and how unfortunate that this room was so small there was no way you didn’t see her blush.
you chuckled, reaching out to take her hand and pulling her closer to you. “why are you nervous, powder? it’s just me,” you smiled, interviewing your fingers. you did this time to time, powder told you that it was calming, that the slight warmth of your hand and the smell of your smell.
“I’m nervous ‘cuz it’s you…” powder knew you would force her into anything, and maybe that’s why she was so nervous, because you weren’t. because that meant she has to be the one starting, starting something, she has never done too many times for herself.
‘and I’m nervous about missing out on you…’
so, powder did, leaning in to meet your lips and she was ready to for you to push her off, yell at her for what she was thinking. but the hand on her cheek wasn’t pushing her away, it kept still like it was afraid to move, a tad shaky-
was it because you were pitying her, that you didn’t want to hurt her feelings? and if not, was it okay to be asking for so much from you, it should be alright for you to let her, right? stupid powder… she’s already swept away by desire. the way her lips open when your tongue pushes against them, the way her body flushes against your and both of you tumble in the pile of clothes on the ground, powder falling into your lap.
she follows your lead, letting your tongue dominate her, letting her free hand grab the back of your neck to hold you close. she did her best trying to keep herself up and steady, moving her hand to your shoulder. powder was shivering from excitement, goosebumps exploding on her body every time you brushed your thumb against her cheek, deepening the kiss with little dips.
“more…” she whimpered, unlacing your hands, and moving it up your arms, bunching the fabric of your shirt between her weak fingers. your lips pressed into her neck, hand skillfully slipping to her chin, holding her so you could turn and move her as you pleased. your other hand tugging her shirt out of her pants, slipping a couple of fingers under the cloth and moving them up her side.
she knew what was coming and she couldn’t be more excited, maybe it was the alcohol that got her all excited beside you, maybe it was just that you have finally giving her what she has been waiting for. your out most and undivided attention, only seeing her, thinking about her, and wanting her.
“I think the seven minutes are up.” you murmured into the crook of her neck, placing on last kiss on her delicate skin before pulling away, patting the sides of her thigh to rush her movements, “I don’t… vi wouldn’t…” your voice falters as you help her up, assisting her fixing her shirt and hair. you pushed the door open, taking one last glance over your shoulder.
it felt like a lifetime ago, your promise to vi, to never to touch her sister but to help her find herself in this confusing world and to never let her lose out on things like she did on the girl she met at the academy. caitlyn was her name? you still see her around campus, but she is… not herself anymore.
“my promise to her? I think I just went against it…”

You’re my heart, my home
Summary: When a girl joins Mason’s friend group and begins vying for his attention, his girlfriend feels sidelined in their relationship. After a painful fallout, Mason realizes his mistakes and tries to fight for his relationship.
Reader x Mason Mount
Genre: fluff/angst
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being with Mason for the last two years has been nothing short of a dream.
Sure, we had our ups and downs, but we always found our way back to each other.
He’s the clingy, romantic type, always finding a way to hold my hand, cuddle me, or just sit close.
I loved that about him, even when his friends teased him for being so attached.
Their jokes didn’t bother him, though. He’d just laugh it off and kiss me on the forehead, completely unapologetic.
Tonight, we were out at a party with his group of friends.
Everyone was in high spirits, including me.
It was one of those rare nights where I wasn’t buried in work, and Mason wasn’t tied up with training.
The atmosphere was lively, and I was having a blast mingling with the other girls while Mason hung out with the guys.
But then, I noticed her.
A girl I didn’t recognize was lingering around Mason’s group. She wasn’t one of the girlfriends, that much was obvious.
She was beautiful, sure, but there was something about the way she hovered near Mason that made my stomach twist.
I leaned over to Sarah, one of the girlfriends I’d become close with, and whispered, “Hey, do you know who that girl is?”
Sarah frowned, glancing in the direction I was looking.
“No clue. But if I were you, I’d keep an eye on her. Something about her screams trouble.”
I nodded, silently agreeing. The rest of the evening, I couldn’t help but notice how she kept talking to Mason or pulling him along somewhere.
He didn’t seem to mind, he was always polite to a fault, but it didn’t sit right with me.
Hours passed, and I hadn’t seen much of Mason. It was unusual; normally, he’d stick to me like glue at these kinds of events.
Finally, I saw him weaving through the crowd toward me, his familiar grin lighting up his face.
“There you are,” he said, wrapping his arms around me.
“I’ve missed you.”
I smiled, leaning into his embrace.
“I thought you forgot about me.”
“Never,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
We stood there for a moment, just enjoying each other’s presence, before the girl appeared again.
She didn’t even acknowledge me at first, her focus entirely on Mason.
“Oh, Mason! There you are,” she said, her tone dripping with sweetness that made my skin crawl.
Mason, ever polite, introduced us. “This is Y/N, my girlfriend.”
Her eyes flickered with something, was it disdain? Jealousy? Before she forced a smile.
“Nice to meet you.”
“You too,” I replied, though I didn’t mean it.
She didn’t waste time pulling Mason away again, leaving me standing there alone.
I tried to brush it off, but the knot in my stomach tightened.
Tumblr media
Later that night,
The sound of laughter and the soft hum of music filled the air as the party began to wind down.
I had spent most of the night with the girlfriends of Mason’s friends, chatting and laughing about everything under the sun.
But as the hours ticked by, my mood shifted.
Mason had been absent for most of the evening, floating between his group of friends and, more noticeably, that girl.
I’d caught glimpses of her tugging on his arm, whispering something to him with a sly smile, and each time, my stomach twisted a little tighter.
By the time Mason finally found me, I was nursing the last sips of a drink I barely tasted.
His smile, that usual bright and boyish grin that I loved so much, faltered the moment he saw my expression.
“Hey, love,” he said softly, his hands sliding around my waist.
“You’ve been hiding from me all night.”
I scoffed, pulling back just enough to meet his gaze.
“Funny, I thought it was the other way around.”
His brow furrowed, confusion etched into his features. “What do you mean?”
I shook my head, not wanting to cause a scene here. “Let’s just go home.”
The car ride was silent at first, the only sound the low hum of the engine as the city lights streaked past the windows.
Mason reached over, his hand finding its usual spot on my thigh, but tonight, it didn’t bring the comfort it usually did.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, breaking the silence.
His voice was gentle but tinged with concern.
I hesitated, my fingers twisting the hem of my dress. Finally, I spoke, my voice quieter than I intended.
“That girl… She’s been clinging to you all night. It didn’t sit right with me.”
His eyes darted from the road to me, genuine surprise flashing across his face.
“Wait, what? I didn’t even notice. She was just… talking. That’s all.”
“That’s not all, Mason,” I said, my voice trembling.
“You didn’t see the way she was looking at you, or the way she kept finding excuses to pull you aside. And you didn’t see the way everyone else was noticing it, too.”
He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he pulled into our driveway.
“Y/N, I swear, I didn’t mean to make you feel this way. She doesn’t mean anything to me, love. I’m sorry if I didn’t realize it sooner.”
His apology was earnest, his eyes searching mine as he reached for my hand.
And though the knot in my chest hadn’t completely unraveled, I nodded, letting him lead me inside.
Mason made it his mission to reassure me that night, wrapping me in his arms and whispering soft apologies until I finally let myself relax against him.
Tumblr media
The days seemed to blend into one long, monotonous routine.
My office job had me tethered to my desk for hours on end, the fluorescent lights of my workspace burning into my skin.
The deadlines felt endless, the meetings never-ending.
By the time I dragged myself home each evening, exhaustion was my only companion.
Mason, too, was caught in the whirlwind of his demanding football schedule: training, travel, matches, and media obligations filling his calendar.
Our moments together became fleeting. In the mornings, he would kiss my forehead as I groggily clung to the last few minutes of sleep before facing my own hectic day.
At night, we exchanged tired "goodnights" before collapsing into bed, too drained to have a real conversation.
It was like we were ships passing in the night, brushing past each other but never truly docking.
One Friday evening, I found myself with an unfamiliar luxury: a free night.
No emails to check, no looming deadlines, just peace.
The thought of spending the evening with Mason filled me with excitement.
I hadn’t had a moment to truly connect with him in weeks, and I missed him desperately.
I decided to text him: "Hey, how about a cozy night in? Just us. I’ll cook dinner, and we can watch a movie or something. I miss you. ❤️"
The little "delivered" icon appeared, and I waited.
My mind wandered to the memories of our lazy nights together, how we’d cuddle under a blanket on the couch, my head on his chest while his fingers absentmindedly played with my hair.
I smiled at the thought, hoping tonight could be like that.
When Mason finally walked through the door, I felt a flicker of hope.
His smile was warm and familiar, and he pulled me into his arms without hesitation.
“Hey, love,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to my temple.
His cologne was comforting, wrapping around me like a favorite blanket.
I leaned into him, letting the weight of my day melt away.
“Hi,” I said softly, savoring the moment before pulling back.
“I was thinking we could have a night in tonight. Just us.”
My voice was light, but the anticipation was evident. “I miss spending time with you.”
For a moment, Mason’s smile faltered.
His hands stilled on my waist as his expression shifted, uncertainty flickering in his eyes.
“I would love that,” he began, his tone apologetic,
“but… I already told the guys I’d meet them tonight.”
The spark of excitement in my chest dimmed, replaced by a sinking feeling.
I swallowed the lump forming in my throat, trying to keep my voice steady.
“And her?” I asked, not needing to say the name aloud.
Mason hesitated, guilt flashing across his face.
“Yeah,” he admitted quietly, “she’ll probably be there.”
I nodded, forcing a smile that didn’t reach my eyes.
“Okay, have fun.”
His brow furrowed slightly as he studied me, but I stepped back before he could say more.
Mason leaned in to kiss my forehead, a gesture that once made me feel safe but now felt hollow.
“Love you,” he said softly before heading upstairs to change.
“Love you, too,” I replied automatically, though my voice lacked conviction.
As soon as he disappeared upstairs, the smile I had been holding crumbled.
I sank onto the couch, staring blankly at the flickering light of the television I hadn’t even realized I turned on.
My chest felt heavy, like a weight I couldn’t lift no matter how hard I tried.
Why couldn’t I shake this feeling? Was I overreacting? Was I being unreasonable?
But deep down, I knew the answer. This wasn’t just about tonight.
It was about the growing distance between us, about the way our once unshakable connection now felt like it was fraying at the edges.
And it was about her, the girl who seemed to have inserted herself into our lives, lingering like an unwelcome guest.
I replayed every interaction I had seen between Mason and her.
The way she laughed too hard at his jokes, the way her hand always seemed to find its way to his arm.
And worst of all, the way Mason didn’t seem to notice, or didn’t seem to mind.
When Mason came back downstairs, his smile was easy, oblivious to the storm raging in my chest.
“Don’t wait up, yeah?” he said, grabbing his keys.
I nodded, my voice failing me, and watched as he walked out the door.
The sound of it closing behind him echoed in the quiet of our home, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Tumblr media
Over the following weeks, the pattern repeated like a cruel cycle I couldn’t escape.
Every time we had a rare opportunity to spend time together, Mason had other plans.
He would promise me he’d be home early or that we’d plan something soon, but it never happened.
And she was always there.
I tried to push my feelings aside, telling myself that Mason loved me and that I was being irrational.
But each time her name came up in conversation or I saw another picture of them together with his friends, the knot in my stomach tightened.
It all came to a head one evening when I found myself sitting alone at the dinner table.
I had made Mason’s favorite meal, hoping for once we could share an evening like we used to.
I even lit candles, trying to recreate the warmth that felt so distant now.
But as the hours ticked by and my phone buzzed with a text:
“Sorry, love. Running late. Don’t wait up.”
I realized I was fooling myself.
When Mason finally came home that night, he found me curled up on the couch, pretending to be asleep.
I couldn’t face him. I couldn’t bear the guilt in his eyes or the empty promises of “I’ll make it up to you.”
The next morning it was the same again, he kissed my forehead and whispered a soft “I love you” before leaving for training.
I whispered it back, but the words felt hollow in my mouth.
Tumblr media
The weeks that followed were marked by a growing distance between us.
Mason seemed unaware of the storm brewing inside me, while I became an expert at pretending everything was fine.
But the truth was, I felt like I was losing him, and losing myself in the process.
Every time her name came up, it was like a knife twisting in my chest.
And every time Mason chose to spend time with his friends, and her instead of me, it felt like another crack in the foundation of our relationship.
I wanted to tell him how I felt, to lay everything out and make him understand.
But every time I tried, the words caught in my throat.
What if he didn’t see it the way I did? What if I was the only one who felt this way?
Late at night, as I lay in bed next to him, I would stare at the ceiling, wondering when things had started to change.
And if they could ever go back to the way they were.
Tumblr media
It was Sunday, the day I had been looking forward to all week.
My only day off, my sanctuary from the endless grind of work and responsibilities.
I had envisioned a lazy morning spent tangled in the sheets with Mason, the sunlight filtering through the curtains as we sipped coffee in bed.
I wanted a day to pause and just be with him, to feel like we were still us amidst the chaos of our separate lives.
The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen as I poured myself a mug.
I smiled to myself, thinking about how I’d surprise Mason with breakfast in bed.
He deserved a break too, after all.
When Mason wandered into the kitchen, his hair still ruffled from sleep, I felt a flicker of hope.
Maybe today would finally be the day we reconnected.
“Morning, love,” he said, leaning in to kiss my cheek.
“Morning,” I replied, warmth spreading through me at the small gesture.
But the moment was fleeting.
As he reached for a glass of water, his next words hit me like a gut punch.
“I’m heading out with the guys later. And yes before you ask, she’s coming too,”
he said casually, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
I froze, my coffee mug halfway to my lips. For a moment, I thought I must have misheard him.
“What?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended.
He glanced at me, confused by my reaction.
“I promised the lads I’d meet them for lunch. You know, a group thing.”
“And her?” I pressed, though I already knew the answer.
His hesitation spoke volumes. “Yeah, she’s part of the group now too,”
he admitted, shrugging as if it were no big deal.
The fragile peace I had been clinging to all week shattered.
My chest tightened, the air in the room suddenly feeling too thin.
“Are you serious, Mason?” I asked, my voice trembling.
“You know this is my only day off, and you’re choosing to spend it with her?”
His shoulders sagged, and he let out an exasperated sigh.
“Y/N, not this again.”
The words were a slap to the face. “Yes, this again!”
I snapped, slamming my mug onto the counter so hard I was surprised it didn’t crack.
“Do you even realize how this looks? How it feels to constantly come second to her?”
“Y/N, I don’t want to do this right now,” he said, his tone clipped, frustration evident in every word.
“Well, I do!” I shot back, my voice rising.
Mason ran a hand through his hair, a gesture I knew meant he was trying to keep his temper in check.
“You’re blowing this way out of proportion,” he said, his tone colder now.
I stared at him in disbelief. “Out of proportion? Mason, I have been patient."
"I have been understanding. But this… this is too much. You spend more time with her than you do with me!”
“That’s not true,” he said defensively, his voice rising to match mine.
“Yes, it is! And the worst part is, you don’t even see it. Or you don’t care.”
“I care, Y/N. Of course I care,” he said, his voice softening just enough to make me falter.
But then he shook his head, his frustration bubbling back to the surface.
“But I can’t have this argument every time I go out with my friends. It’s exhausting.”
The words stung, slicing through the fragile thread of hope I had been holding onto.
My heart clenched, tears welling up in my eyes.
“If it’s so exhausting, then why are you still here?” I asked, my voice breaking.
For a moment, the room was silent, the weight of my words hanging heavy in the air.
Mason stared at me, his expression unreadable, before he grabbed his keys off the counter.
“I’m not doing this right now,” he said flatly.
And just like that, he walked out the door, leaving me standing in the kitchen with tears streaming down my face.
The sound of his car starting and pulling away echoed in my ears, each second driving the pain deeper into my chest.
I sank into a chair at the kitchen table, my head in my hands.
The tears came fast and hard, shaking my body as I sobbed into my palms.
All the frustration, the hurt, and the anger I had been holding back for weeks spilled out in that moment.
I couldn’t take it anymore.
The constant tug-of-war for his attention, the way he dismissed my feelings like they were insignificant, it was too much.
I needed space. I needed to breathe.
With trembling hands, I grabbed my phone and called my best friend.
The line barely rang before she picked up, her cheerful voice a sharp contrast to my broken one.
“Y/N? What’s wrong?” she asked immediately, her tone shifting to concern.
I tried to speak, but my words came out in choked sobs.
“He… he left. He walked out,” I managed to say between gasps for air.
“Okay, breathe,” she said firmly, her voice steady and reassuring.
“Start from the beginning. What happened?”
As I recounted the argument, her silence on the other end of the line felt like a lifeline, her presence grounding me even through the phone.
When I finished, she let out a long sigh.
“Pack a bag and come over,” she said without hesitation.
“You don’t need to be alone right now.”
I nodded, even though she couldn’t see me, and wiped my tears with the sleeve of my sweater.
“Okay,” I whispered.
I packed an overnight bag with shaking hands, throwing in random items of clothing and my toothbrush.
As I zipped it up, I glanced around the bedroom Mason and I shared, the weight of the memories threatening to pull me under.
The bed where we used to stay up talking for hours now felt like a stranger’s, the space between us too vast to cross.
My best friend greeted me at the door with open arms, pulling me into a tight hug.
I broke down again, the dam I had been trying so hard to hold together finally bursting.
She didn’t say anything at first, just held me as I cried into her shoulder.
When I finally pulled back, she led me to the couch and handed me a mug of tea.
“You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to,” she said gently. “But I’m here.”
I nodded, my throat too tight to speak.
As I sat there, sipping the tea and feeling the warmth seep into my hands, I realized how much I needed this.
Someone who understood, who wouldn’t dismiss my feelings or tell me I was overreacting.
Over the next hour, I poured my heart out to her.
I told her about the weeks of feeling like I was being pushed aside, about the constant presence of her in our lives, and about the crushing loneliness that had taken root in my chest.
“Y/N, you deserve better than this,” she said firmly when I finished.
“He loves you, I’m sure of that, but he’s not treating you the way you deserve to be treated. He needs to wake up and realize what he’s risking.”
Her words hit me hard, but they also gave me a flicker of strength. Maybe she was right.
Maybe Mason needed to see what it felt like to lose me, to truly lose me, to understand how much he was hurting me.
For the first time in weeks, I felt a sense of clarity, even if it was wrapped in pain.
I wasn’t sure what would happen next, but I knew I couldn’t keep pretending everything was okay.
Something had to change.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile at the party,
The party buzzed with energy, laughter and chatter echoing through the air as people mingled in small groups.
Normally, Mason would have been at ease here, relaxed and in his element, but tonight, everything felt off.
His friends noticed it too. Ben nudged him with a grin, trying to lighten the mood.
“You alright, mate? You’ve been staring at your drink like it owes you money.”
Mason forced a chuckle, but it was hollow. “Yeah, just tired, I guess.”
Ben raised an eyebrow but didn’t push.
“Well, if you need a break from all this, let me know. I’ve got your back.”
Mason nodded, appreciating the sentiment, but his mind wasn’t on the party or even on his friends.
The argument replayed in his head like a broken record, your words cutting deeper each time he thought of them.
“Do you even realize how this looks? How it feels to constantly come second to her?”
The memory twisted in his chest, a sharp pang of regret piercing through him.
He had brushed off your concerns so many times, dismissing them as overreactions.
Now, standing in the middle of the room surrounded by people, he felt the weight of those choices crushing down on him.
And then there she was. The girl.
She approached him with her usual confident stride, her smile wide and her eyes locked on his.
Mason tensed instinctively.
He had hoped to avoid her tonight, to stick with his friends and steer clear of any more trouble, but she seemed to have other plans.
“You’ve been quiet tonight,”
she said, her voice light and teasing as she leaned in closer than necessary.
“Yeah, just tired,” he said curtly, taking a deliberate step back.
She didn’t seem to notice, or maybe she didn’t care.
Instead, she placed a hand on his arm, her touch lingering just a second too long.
“Come on, Mason. Loosen up a bit. You’re the life of the party, remember?”
Mason forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’m good, thanks.”
But she wasn’t deterred.
Throughout the night, she kept finding excuses to be near him, brushing past him to grab a drink, laughing a little too loudly at his jokes, and slipping into conversations uninvited.
His friends started giving him knowing looks, some playful, others more pointed, as if they could sense the awkward tension building around him.
Finally, she cornered him near the back patio, away from the crowd.
Her voice was soft, almost coaxing.
“Mason, I think you know how I feel about you.”
His stomach churned.
He stepped back, creating distance between them.
“What are you talking about?” he asked, though he already knew.
She smiled, tilting her head as if to feign innocence.
“Come on, Mason. We have chemistry. You can’t deny that.”
“I have a girlfriend and you know that,” he said firmly, his voice sharp.
“She doesn’t have to know,” she said, her tone light but laced with something darker.
Mason’s jaw tightened, anger surging through him.
He couldn’t believe the audacity of her words, the way she dismissed me so casually, as if I were some obstacle to be brushed aside.
“Are you serious right now?” he snapped, his voice rising.
“You’ve known about Y/N this entire time, and you think this is okay? Do you have any idea how wrong this is?”
Her smile faltered, replaced by a flicker of annoyance.
“Mason, you’re overreacting—”
“Overreacting?” he cut her off, his tone ice-cold.
“No. I’m done. Stay away from me, and stay away from her.”
Without waiting for a response, Mason turned and stormed back into the house.
His heart was pounding, adrenaline coursing through him as he grabbed his jacket and left the party without a word to anyone.
The drive home was silent, save for the low hum of the engine.
Mason gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white.
The encounter played on a loop in his mind, each word she had said making his skin crawl.
But more than that, your voice echoed in his head, soft and broken from the argument.
He had been so blind, so wrapped up in trying to keep the peace and avoid confrontation, that he hadn’t seen the damage he was doing.
Every time he dismissed your concerns, every time he prioritized someone else over you, he had chipped away at the foundation of your relationship.
By the time he pulled into the driveway, his chest ached with guilt.
The house was dark and quiet when he stepped inside, a stark contrast to the vibrant energy of the party.
The emptiness felt suffocating, a reminder of the space between the two of you that he had allowed to grow.
He pulled out his phone and dialed your number, his hands trembling slightly as he waited for the call to connect.
It rang and rang, each passing second a punch to the gut, until it went to voicemail.
“Babe, it’s me,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.
“I need to talk to you. Please, just call me back. I’m so sorry.”
When there was no response, he tried again. And again.
Desperation clawed at him with every unanswered call.
Finally, he scrolled to another contact and pressed call.
Your Best Friend.
Your best friend’s voice was sharp and cold when she answered.
“What do you want, Mason?”
“I need to talk to Y/N, I know she's with you.”
he said, his voice pleading.
“Please, I need to apologize. I messed up.”
“She needs space, Mason,” she said firmly.
“You’ve done enough damage already. Leave her alone.”
“But I love her,” he said, his voice breaking. “I can’t lose her.”
There was a long pause, and for a moment, he thought she might relent.
But then she sighed, her tone softening only slightly.
“If you really love her, then give her time. She needs to heal, Mason.
The line went dead, and Mason was left standing alone in the dark living room, his phone dangling limply in his hand.
He sank onto the couch, his head in his hands, as the weight of everything he had done, and everything he had lost, crashed over him like a tidal wave.
For the first time in a long while, Mason Mount felt completely and utterly helpless.
Tumblr media
The days without Mason dragged on endlessly, each hour feeling heavier than the last.
I spent most of my time at my best friend’s place, curled up on her couch with a blanket draped over my legs.
The television played softly in the background, but I barely registered the sound.
My mind was stuck in an endless loop of memories, of Mason’s laugh, the warmth of his arms around me, the way he used to look at me as though I were the only person in the world.
But those memories were tainted now, overshadowed by the sting of betrayal.
Every time I thought about how he had prioritized her, a fresh wave of anger and sadness washed over me.
I told myself that I was done, that I deserved better, but the ache in my chest refused to go away.
“You’re overthinking again,” my best friend said, walking into the living room with two mugs of tea.
She set one down in front of me, giving me a pointed look.
I sighed, pulling the blanket tighter around myself.
“How can I not? I feel like I can’t breathe. I want to hate him, but I can’t stop missing him.”
She sat down beside me, her arm draping around my shoulders.
“It’s okay to miss him, Y/N. You loved him. But that doesn’t mean you have to forgive him, at least not until he proves he deserves it.”
Her words were comforting, but they didn’t ease the knot in my stomach.
Nights were the worst.
I’d lie awake staring at the ceiling, every creak of the apartment reminding me of Mason, of the home we’d built together, of the life we’d shared.
Tumblr media
While you were struggling to keep yourself afloat, Mason was falling apart.
His usually confident demeanor had crumbled, leaving him a shadow of the man his friends knew.
At training sessions, he was slow to react, his passes off-target, and his energy nonexistent.
“Again!” the coach barked during one drill, his voice sharp with frustration.
Mason barely heard him, his mind somewhere else entirely.
When he finally collapsed onto the sidelines after a particularly grueling run, he dropped his head into his hands, breathing heavily.
“Mason, a word,” the coach called, motioning him over.
Dragging himself to his feet, Mason trudged over, avoiding his teammate's concerned glances.
“What’s going on with you?” the coach asked, his tone softer now.
“You’re not yourself.”
Mason shook his head, unable to meet his coach’s gaze. “It’s… personal.”
The coach sighed, patting him on the shoulder.
“Sort it out, Mount. You’re too good to let this drag you down.”
After practice, Højlund cornered Mason in the locker room, his expression serious.
“Mate, this has to stop. You’re a wreck, and everyone can see it. What’s going on?”
Mason sank onto the bench, rubbing his face with both hands.
“I messed up, Rasmus ,” he admitted, his voice hoarse.
“I hurt Y/N, and now I might’ve lost her for good.”
Rasmus sat down beside him, frowning.
Rasmus has been one of Mason's closest friends on the team and that's how he got to know you.
He quickly grew a friendly connection with you.
“What did you do?”
Mason hesitated before spilling everything, the other girl, the countless times he’d brushed off Y/N’s feelings, the moment he realized just how much damage he’d done.
Rasmus listened intently, his frown deepening.
“So, what are you going to do about it?”
“I’ve been trying to call her,”
Mason said, his voice cracking. “She won’t answer. Her best friend won’t even let me near her.”
“And you’re just giving up?” Rasmus asked, his tone challenging.
Mason’s head snapped up.
“Of course not! I love her, Ras. More than anything. But I don’t even know where to start.”
Rasmus patted him on the shoulder.
“You start by showing her. Words won’t mean much right now, Mason. You’ve got to prove it.”
Tumblr media
By the end of the week, Mason couldn’t take it anymore.
With a heavy heart and a bag slung over his shoulder, he showed up at your best friend’s doorstep.
He had come every single day, trying to see you, only to be met with the door slammed in his face by your best friend.
Still, he didn’t give up. Each time, he left flowers with heartfelt notes on the doorstep.
He knew it couldn’t undo the hurt he had caused, but to him, it was the least he could do.
The crisp evening air bit at his skin as he shifted nervously from foot to foot, rehearsing what he would say.
When the door finally opened, your best friend stood there, her arms crossed and her expression icy.
“What are you doing here, Mason?”
“I need to see her,” he said, his voice trembling.
“Please. Just five minutes. If she tells me to leave, I will, but I need to talk to her.”
Her eyes narrowed, and for a moment, Mason thought she was going to slam the door in his face.
But then she sighed, stepping aside.
“She’s in the guest room. Down the hallway left.”
Mason nodded, swallowing hard.
“Thank you.”
As he made his way down the hall, every step felt heavier than the last.
His heart pounded in his chest, and his palms were slick with sweat.
When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment before knocking softly.
Hearing the knock, I looked up, surprised.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Mason standing in the doorway, his eyes glassy and filled with regret.
“Mason,” I said quietly, my voice a mix of shock and pain.
“Y/N,” he said, stepping inside hesitantly.
He closed the door behind him, leaning against it as if he needed the support.
“I’m sorry,” he began, his voice cracking.
“I’ve been an idiot, and I’ve hurt you in ways I can’t even begin to fathom.”
I didn’t respond, wrapping my arms tighter around my knees as I stared at him.
“I let someone take up space in my life that belongs to you,” he continued, his voice trembling.
“I see that now, and I hate myself for not seeing it sooner. I was so caught up in trying to be polite, in trying to avoid conflict, that I didn’t realize I was pushing you away.”
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I stayed silent, my gaze unwavering.
“I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness,” Mason said, taking a cautious step closer.
“But I can’t lose you, Y/N. I can’t. You’re my everything. I’ll spend every single day proving that to you if you’ll let me.”
His words cracked something inside me, and a tear slipped down my cheek.
“Mason, you really hurt me,” I said, my voice trembling.
“I felt like I didn’t matter to you anymore.”
“You matter more than anything,” he said urgently, dropping to his knees in front of me.
He took my hands in his, his eyes pleading.
“You’re my heart, my home. I’ll never make you feel like this again. I swear it.”
His desperation was palpable, his sincerity undeniable.
But the pain he’d caused me was still fresh.
“What happens the next time someone tries to come between us?” I asked softly, my voice laced with doubt.
“There won’t be a next time,” he vowed.
“I’ve already cut her out of my life. She’s blocked, deleted, gone. No one will ever come before you again.”
For a long moment, I didn’t respond, letting his words sink in.
Finally, I reached out, cupping his face in my hands.
His breath hitched at the gesture, hope flickering in his eyes.
“You have one chance, Mason,” I said firmly.
“Don’t make me regret this.”
“I won’t,” he promised, his voice steady.
When he pulled me into his arms, I felt the weight of his love, his regret, and his determination.
And for the first time in days, I let myself hope.
As we stepped out of the room, Mason still holding my hand like it was his lifeline, my best friend stood in the hallway with her arms crossed.
She raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed but not entirely unsupportive.
“So?” she asked, her eyes darting between us.
“I’m going home,” I said softly, glancing up at Mason.
My best friend tilted her head, giving him a long, pointed look.
“You know, Mason, I’ve been Googling ways to hide a body this past week. Just in case.”
Mason’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “W-well, I’m glad it didn’t come to that.”
“Me too,” she said, a wicked grin spreading across her face.
“But the shovel’s still in the trunk. So, tread carefully.”
I groaned, hiding my face in my hands. “Oh my God, stop.”
Mason chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Noted. I’ll be on my best behavior.”
As we walked out of the apartment, she called after us,
“Remember, Y/N, call me if he even looks at you wrong. I’ll be there in five minutes, shovel and all!”
I laughed at her antics but was grateful for her support and comfort.
Mason opened the car door for me, shaking his head with a grin.
“Your best friend is terrifying.”
“And don’t you forget it,” I teased, sliding into the seat.
Once he was in the driver’s seat, he reached over, lacing his fingers through mine.
“You think she’s serious about the shovel?”
I smirked.
“Dead serious.”
He groaned, laughing despite himself.
“Guess I’ll have to make sure she never needs to use it.”
As we drove away, a lightness settled over us that hadn’t been there in weeks.
It wasn’t perfect yet, but for the first time, I felt like we were on the right track, and I knew, deep down, we’d be okay.
The end

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sum: paige catches Saylor sneaking out
Warnings: none for now I don’t think
Notes: I hope I did this justice 🤞 I know some people have said they’re excited for this fic so I’m honestly hoping you guys all like this
Wc: 1k
Pair: paige x daughter!oc (Saylor)
Saylors Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Just climb out your window, It’s not that hard dude.” Saylor’s friend Jasmine says over the phone. “My moms could catch me Jas, then I’ll be grounded. Then what?”
“You’re acting like your moms even pay attention to you bro, they’re way to famous and busy to pay attention to what you of all people are doing. Sneak out through your window or we are leaving without you. We are not gonna get caught because your a scaredy cat” Jasmine says not leaving room for argument and hanging up the phone
Saylor sighs bringing her phone down from her ear and looking at the picture of her moms and her on Christmas morning a few years back that is taped to her vanity mirror. Back in a time where Saylor wasn’t constantly being looked down on by her friends, and was actually happy. Back in a time where she wasn’t a complete disappointment to her moms, and they didn’t have to constantly ground her.
Saylor takes a deep breath and then gets up from her bed and walking to her closet to start getting ready. After Saylor got dressed and did her hair and makeup, she texted her friend group chat that she was ready to be picked up - getting left on read
With them not responding and giving her an estimated time of when they’ll be here, she sat by her window waiting.
Tumblr media
When they finally do get to the Bueckers household after around 35 minutes when it’s a 14 minute drive, Saylor opens her window and climbs out carefully turning around to close her window a little bit
“Hey bug, do you wanna watch a movie with me? Mama’s gonna be home lat-“ Saylor froze immediately seeing her mom walk into her room while she was pulling the window down. “Get in the house” Paige says in a monotone voice
Jasmine and the others could see Paige through the window and immediately drove off, leaving Saylor to fend for herself.
Saylor slowly climbs back into her room and stands by the window with her head down and hands clasped behind her back. Paige scoffs “What? You not gonna look at me now?”
Saylor just keeps her head down, “living room! NOW!” Paige says and then commands when Saylor doesn’t move. Saylor walks past Paige and walks downstairs to the living room - sitting on the couch and waiting for Paige to come back.
“You wanna tell me where you were going?” Paige says while walking down the stairs and to the couch - sitting down in front of Saylor.
Saylor just keeps her head down and looks at her hands in her lap. “Hello? I’m talking to you!” Paige says still trying to get Saylors attention “Saylor Jade Bueckers, look at me and answer the question now!” Paige says sternly, making Saylor shake her head
“No? You’re gonna tell me no? After I just caught YOU trying to sneak out?” Paige says baffled about how her daughter’s been acting recently “Fine you wanna play this game? Let’s play this game! You’re grounded for two months - no phone, no tv, no video games, you will have my old phone with mine and Azzi’s phone numbers that you can call and text ONLY us with and you will turn it in, to one of us when you’re home from school. You use your computer ONLY for school. No basketball or dance for two weeks-“
“Mom! No! You can’t do that! College recruiters are watching us now at games and recitals, how are they supposed to see me if you do that?!”
“I guess you should have thought about that before you decided to sneak out!” Paige yells making Saylor look back down at her hands and try to hold in her tears “I will call your coaches tomorrow morning and tell them that you are not to be participating in practices, games, recitals, all of that for two weeks. You are to go to school and come home immediately. You also now have a bedtime, me and Azzi will come and check on you randomly. Oh and I will be installing cameras around the house and outside of your windows tomorrow”
“Mom!-“ “Do NOT mom me right now Saylor Jade! What did you think was gonna happen when you decided to sneak out? That we would just never find out? That we wouldn’t care? What?! Tell me what you thought was gonna happen?! And let’s mention how you always get ungrounded and then immediately do something to get you grounded again! What is going on with you?! Paige yelled again just to be met with silence
“Go to your room!” Paige said pinching the bridge of her nose “mom-“ Saylor starts but gets cut off “Go. To. Your. Room. Saylor” Paige say’s strictly making Saylor sniffle and slowly get up and start making her way to the stairs
When she reaches them Paige stops her “While you’re up there, think about what you’ve done in the last year. Think about how you’ve been acting for the last 2+ years. And while you’re at it, try to find my daughter for me cause the girl standing in front of me is not my daughter. My daughter is a sweet girl that does her homework the day she gets it even if it’s not due for a month, she wants to dance and play basketball, she wants to go to college, my daughter wouldn’t throw her whole life away for some party, or alcohol & drugs, or even a fling” Paige says tearing up that she even has to say this
Saylor just looks at the ground and makes her way upstairs and to her room, getting in her bed and under the covers finally letting the tears fall.
I’m such a disappointment is all that is ringing through her head

How would Xavier react to seeing you dressed as a bride? Ch 2.
C.w: fluff, non-established relationship, xavier x reader, sfw, corpse bride mentions, not proofread.
Tumblr media
Xavier walks confidently to the end of the hallway, paper bag in hands containing your favourite sandwich and a small bottle of orange juice. He also made sure to buy a little chocolate for you, he is sure you'll love it because it's bunny shaped.
He knocks, and after some time a familiar voice tells him to come in. It’s one of your friends, Lexy. He remembers her from a day where you all went to get some hotpot together.
He didn’t expect her to be here, so he thought that maybe this is a girls day. With this in mind, he turns the doorknob slowly, covering his eyes with one hand and looking down to his feet. You never know, he doesn’t want to interrupt anything.
He closes the door behind him, and Lexy tells him it’s okay, he can look.
“Hi.” he says softly, before letting his hand down and analyzing the scenario he encounters: The room is big, enough to echo a bit when you speak loudly. There’s too much photography equipment to get around, and he can’t see all of it. There are big windows, but all of them have blinds; only some of them are open to let some light in. His eyes now focus on Lexy, crouched in front of Sam, putting on heels on her. His eyebrows furrow, clearly confused. She’s dressed as… goth..?
“Hi Xavier. I’m Morticia Addams.” Sam smiles. “What are you doing here? Did she call you?”
“Oh. Nice to meet you Morticia.” He steps closer to her, showing the paper bag again. “No, I.. She forgot to have breakfast today.. So.. I brought her something. Where is..” he looks around a bit.
“Xavier?” You didn’t see him come in, but recognized his voice now. His head immediately turns to face the origin of your voice, but he only sees a big reflector. He nods to both girls before walking towards you, searching for your face as his eyebrows furrow and his eyes make him look like a lost puppy, trying not to step on anything.
He gets around the reflector, looking at his feet so as to not step on any cable, and as soon as he lifts his head, his heart drops.
Oh my. God. Oh my God, you’re beautiful.
He stops in his tracks as you smile at him with squinted eyes, his eyes scanning over your body, your.. dress. Your dress, white as snow, gradiently turning into blue like his eyes.
His lips part and his hands get weak - he’s putting in so much effort so his knees don’t give out -, feeling a warm feeling creeping up on his neck, something indescribable getting stuck on his throat as his eyes get warm and wet.
You’re. A Bride.
And you are the most beautiful one he has ever seen.
The light hits your face just right, and he’s hypnotized by your glowing chest, your plump rosy lips, the way your makeup is light, magnifying your natural and beautiful features.
He discreetly licks his lips looking at the nape of your neck, exposed because of your tied hair and oh-so delicate it looks like it might break if he dares to touch. Your hair..
You are so.. The love of his life.
“Xavier?” You call again, tilting your head. And as you do, he notices the blue hair pin, it’s a flower. His flower. It’s a forget me not. His feet are glued to the ground as he tries to breathe in, but his throat is now dry and feeling too tight to function. God. You were beautiful. He’d never get tired of telling you that.
Did you.. Did you do it on purpose…? Is he supposed to…? Should he..
His mind is trying to think of what this could mean, but he just can’t do it if you’re looking at him like that. Looking like this. He feels like his chest is going to implode, something warm and tight spreading over his whole torso, making his throat clench.
“You’re.. a bride?” His voice comes out too soft, almost a whisper, and you can only tell what he said because you were looking at his lips the whole time.
“Yes. I am. But I’m not ready yet! Do you know the Corpse bride?” You smile, feeling your cheeks hot from how he was staring you down. “I’ll be her today. I'll be painting myself blue for it.” You look down, facing the dress you just put on before he came in.
“Y-yes. I know. her..” He quickly looks away as he feels like his eyes are getting dangerously wet and a tear might fall at any moment. In reality, he has no idea who is the corpse bride. Isn’t a corpse supposed to be scary? How can you look so ethereal in front of him like that?
He looks down to see a small stool, and he figures he needs to get out of here as soon as possible. He’s not going to be able to hold back any longer. So he places the paper bag on it.
“I.. brought you food..” he touches the back of his neck, swallowing hard. “Please eat. I’m leaving now.” He takes one more glance at you, trying to commit to memory every single detail about you.
Everything around you is blurred like a halo, and it makes him feel so small - he's convinced the world could swallow him while right now.
He'd do anything for you. He'd be anything for you. And he wants to marry you. Now.
“Oh my.. thank you, Xavier!” You get up, walking towards him. His heart skips a beat as you place a hand on his bicep. “You saved me. Thank you.”
Saving you?! This is saving you?! You’re telling him that bringing you breakfast is saving you, when he’d burn the seven seas dry for you?!
He gulps down. You’re so close. He needs to leave, or else he might just propose right now. His hands itch, craving to hold you close and kiss you until you're out of breath and full of him. In all senses of the word.
“No problem.. I’ll get going.” He stares at your lips, walking backwards towards the door. “Have fun.” His voice falters but he can’t get himself to care as he grabs the doorknob like it’s his lifeline, walking out.
You're left confused, but all of your worries are lifted when you shift your attention to the paperbag in front of you.
Anne comes back, and as soon as she gets out of the elevator she sees Xavier as he is letting out a loud sigh and sliding down against the wall, hugging his knees. She rushes to him, worried.
“Uhm-” She doesn’t know his name. “Are you.. okay?” She asks, bending down a little to talk to him.
He looks up, eyes puffy and lips red. “I am. I’m sorry. I’ll be leaving soon. Don’t worry about me.” he starts masking his emotions again, feeling embarrassed of being caught like this.
But she can see how his chin imperceptibly quivers and how he’s breathing unsteadily.
“What happened? That is not the face of someone who is ‘okay’.”
She wonders if you broke up with him just now.
“I am.” He stands, now taller than her, patting his knees to see if they can hold him up again. He takes a deep breath in and out, and she looks up at him, confused.
“My girlfriend is beautiful isn’t she.” He smiles a little, convincing himself for a moment that you are, in fact, his girlfriend. He can't take it anymore, he searched high and low for you, he's never been so sure of something. Never desired something more than he does you. But for you... It's too soon. He'll wait.
He looks at Anne, waiting for an answer.
“Yes, she is…?” Anne answers after a moment, and analyzes his whole face, scanning for a reason for him to be like this. “Is that why.. you’re..?” She asks, placing a hand on the doorknob.
“Yes.” He dries up his eyes with his sleeves. “I’m leaving now. Please don’t mention it to her.” He bows softly, starting to walk away.
Anne is left in a mix of confusion with awe. Is this the real reason? How can someone cry so much over a lover’s appearance? She opens the door.
And as soon as she does, you’re eating a sandwich in your unfinished costume bride dress, laughing.
“Oh, I get it now.” She mutters to herself, shaking her head, smiling. "She is his bride."

A Mother’s Love - part 2
part one
omegaverse, pre-steddie, past mpreg, cw: child death
Marsha Harrington was proud of her work under Dr. Martin Brenner. They were doing cutting-edge research, pushing the boundaries of what the human mind could do, and ensuring the communists didn’t win.
At least, that’s what she told herself as she held a grieving mother whose baby they had stolen.
Then, she told herself she was doing it for the children, protecting them as best she could.
But she couldn’t protect them. Not really.
Two was angry, even as a little boy, and Four followed his example. Five was cold, easily molded by Brenner. Each of them did whatever Papa asked.
Except Seven.
Seven cried often, and he kept to himself. The older boys liked to make him cry. And he was afraid of the girls, like being near them would burn his skin.
He was always distressed during Brenner’s tests, so distressed that they never got good data. Brenner tried ignoring him, a “cooling off period” he called it, to see if Seven could calm down and regulate enough for testing. It didn’t work.
“He’s washing out,” Brenner said one day after a failed attempt to get Seven to guess at the pictures on the cards in Brenner’s hands. “Schedule him for tomorrow.”
One child had washed out before. Four had been a twin. 004A and 004B, but A never stood out, let B push him around. He’d hit his head, had a cranial hematoma. There was surgery, but he recovered… below Brenner’s standard. He washed out at six-years-old.
“Washed out.”
He was cremated.
And 004B became 004.
Marsha volunteered to handle 007’s procedure. She changed out the vials, gave him a mild sedative, and covered him with a sheet. A janitor helped her sneak him out a backdoor.
She brought him home, told her husband she’d leave him if he didn’t agree to adopt the boy. Richard simply smiled and nodded.
Marsha had had cancer in her early-20s, lost both ovaries in the course of her treatment. She’d gone to therapy, made her peace with it. Found a husband who didn’t care that she couldn’t have children, who liked being able to knot her without worrying about babies.
Richard did not care for babies. But Seven was already almost 5-years-old. Richard could handle that.
He was also a lawyer, so getting papers filed to adopt the boy were simple. They named him Steven, figuring it was close enough that if he remembered anything his brain could make sense of it.
Steven David Harrington.
Marsha and Richard were quiet about Steve, treating him like he’d always been around. They moved to Hawkins, closer to the lab, hiding Steve in plain sight. And Marsha kept her job.
If they ran, someone might ask questions, but Marsha wanted to save time on her commute. Who could question that?
Out of the lab, Steve calmed down. He enjoyed his routines, liked going to the park, liked swimming in their new pool with Mommy. For the first time, Marsha saw him laugh out loud, and she hoped the worst was behind them.
Then he started school.
The other children overwhelmed him, and his teacher called home 45 minutes after drop-off because Steve could not stop crying.
Marsha went to pick him up, promised they would work on emotional regulation and try again next Monday.
“Steve, can you tell me what’s wrong?” she asked on the way home.
“Hurts,” he said, sniffling and rubbing his chest. “Hurts inside. Everyone is scared and loud and it hurts.”
“Oh, my poor, sensitive boy!” Marsha pulled into the driveway, pulled Steve out of the backseat, and held him close. “Let’s see if we can figure out how to make it quieter for you, Stevie.”
When Steve went back for the second week of Kindergarten he still kept to himself, but he could manage the half day surrounded by his peers. By the end of the week, he had even made friends.
He got better control, grew up happy and healthy, and most importantly, safe.
Marsha continued to work for Brenner until one day, after nearly 20 years, she was reassigned as a specialist at the VA. Brenner said their funding was cut. That the program was finished.
Steve was almost 13 by then. Marsha was fairly certain he didn’t remember any of it. And he didn’t cry much. Not anymore. But when he came home to his mother crying in the kitchen, his eyes filled with tears. “It’s okay, Mom,” he said, throwing his arms around her.
“I know, Honey. I know.”
🫂🫂🫂
Wayne leaves Steve dozing in his nest around 4:10, and goes to try calling the Harrington’s. Marsha picks up on the third ring, voice light and breathy. Wayne tries to be as cordial as possible, introducing himself and mentioning that he’s seen her at the VA when he goes in for his physical.
“But let’s get down to brass tacks, I’ve got your son, Steve, here, in my nest, sleeping through his presentation heat. My nephew’s a freshman, he found him, and you know how teens are, he brought him to the first safe omega he could think of—”
“Thank you!” she cuts him off, sounding a little hysterical. “Thank you, Wayne! I thought I had more time before it hit him. It’s been so long since I’ve worked with pups—with teens…” she trails off, suddenly quiet. “I should have been paying more attention.”
Wayne waits a long moment, then he asks, “D’you wanna come pick him up? Or should I…”
“Yes! What’s your address?”
Wayne’s ready to give directions, but he says Forest Hills and the lot number, and she thanks him again as she hangs up her end of the call. Shrugging, Wayne hangs up his own receiver, and gets a glass of orange juice from the fridge.
Steve’s still sleeping peacefully, his face tucked into the side of the nest, fingers curled in the blankets.
Wayne crosses over to him, strokes his hair and murmurs, “Hey, Kid. Your Mom is on her way over.” He feels Steve’s forehead, still burning with his heat. He holds up the orange juice. “Need to get some sugar into you, make up for everything your body’s burning through.” He helps Steve sit up, holds the glass for him as he drinks it all.
Finished, Steve turns to hide his face against Wayne’s shoulder and whines.
“I know, Kid. This is a rough one. The first of many.”
“Can I lay back down?”
“Sure, get comfy. I’ll bring your mother back as soon as she gets here.” Wayne watches Steve sink back down to the same spot, realizes then where Steve’s nose is, and holds back a keening cry of his own.
Benny deserves to know.
But Benny wants his pup safe before anything.
Marsha must have broken a few traffic laws with how quickly she arrives, and Wayne opens the door for her before she can knock. “Thank you!” she says again, following Wayne back to his nest and running over to Steve. She rubs his back, softly says, “Stevie, I’m here. It’s okay.”
Steve lifts his head, eyes unfocused as he turns to look at her. “Hi, Mom.”
“Are you ready to go home? We’ll get a nest started on your bed and you can sleep.”
“It’s nice here,” Steve mumbles, “Smells nice. Safe.”
She sniffs theatrically. “You’re right, it does.” Then she sniffs Steve’s hair. “But don’t you want a nest that smells like you?”
Steve shakes his head, fist clenching the white undershirt, pulling it to his nose.
Marsha strokes Steves hair, bends down to sniff quietly at the shirt, and goes stock still. As she recovers, she kisses Steve’s hair and gets back to her feet. Her eyes are watery, lips pursed as she approaches Wayne to ask, “You know Ben Hammond?”
“He’s my best friend. Don’t you know he lives in town?”
She shakes her head. “I try not to be involved, for-” She cuts herself off, pauses. “You know, don’t you.” It isn’t a question.
“Yes.”
“Call him. Now.”
🫂🫂🫂
“Benny’s Burgers, how can I help you?” Benny drawls into the receiver, expecting a to-go order.
Instead, it’s Wayne. “Benny, you need to come over right now.”
“Wayne, no. Dinner rush is about to start, I’ve already got a few early birds, a couple te-”
“Benjamin Hammond, this is serious!”
That wasn’t Wayne, the voice too high-pitched. Feminine and familiar.
“Marsha?”
“Hi, honey. God, I owe you a million apologies. More even.”
“You do.”
“But Wayne said you know, and he needs you.”
Benny’s heart races. “Wayne needs me? Marsha, what the hell is going on? Is Br-”
“Wayne is fine. He needs you.” Marsha is being careful, keeping him from saying too much over the phone. “Please, can you come to Wayne’s? Now?”
“Yeah, just gotta close up.”
“I’m so sorry, Benny.”
“Save it for later, Marsha.” He hangs up, hurries the customers who have already been served. Orders everyone else out with a barked, “Emergency closure. Come back tomorrow.”
Benny hops into his pickup, drives to Wayne’s, confused for a moment by the BMW parked next to Wayne’s truck. But his brain catches back up, and he parks right beside it.
As soon as he’s through the door he can smell it: Peaches, light and sweet. He shouldn’t be able to, with the strength of Wayne’s cinnamon mixed with cigarette smoke, but he does. Peaches mixed with the fading milky scent of a pup.
Wayne and Marsha are in the kitchen, both staring at him.
“I’m so sorry, Benny,” Marsha says again. “What we did to you was unforgivable. What we did to the pups was worse. But I got Steve out. I kept him safe.” Her voice is shaky, but her eyes stay dry, never looking away.
“I wanted to name him David,” Benny says in little more than a whisper.
“I know. His middle name is David, but Steven was easier for him to adapt to.”
“Adapt?”
“Brenner gave them numbers.”
That doesn’t surprise Benny; Brenner was always so clinical. Methodical. But it clearly shocks Wayne. “Numbers. Y’all didn’t even give them names?”
“His name was Seven.”
Marsha glances at Wayne, sees the disgust there. “Brenner thought it would make it easier for us to see them as subjects than as children. But they were always children to me. And Steve was sensitive, stubborn and scared. I got him out, and Brenner thinks he’s dead. As long as he doesn’t call any attention to himself he should be safe.”
“Talking to me will call attention to him, won’t it?” Benny asks, heart and mind racing. For a moment he considers grabbing Steve and running god knows where, but he can’t do that to his pup.
“Not that much. Brenner shuttered the program. I don’t work for him anymore. I’m just a nurse at the VA. And all your files are secured and confidential. No one should be watching you.” Marsha takes two steps, crosses the tiny kitchen, and tentatively reaches for Benny’s shoulder. “And he needs you. His heart still knows you.”
“I think my heart would know him anywhere. No matter what.” Tears stream from his eyes, and Benny nods down the hallway towards Wayne’s room. “I have loved him every day—every minute—of his life, and if you let me in, I’m not leaving. Ever.”
“I know. We’ll figure it out. Keep him safe. Together.”
Marsha takes his hand in both of hers, squeezes once, and lets go. “He’s sleeping, but I think he’ll feel better if you’re nearby.”
Benny panics, suddenly struck with all his worst fears. “He’s not hurt, is he?”
“No more than any other omega on the day they present,” Wayne answers gently.
“Oh.” Right, the peach scent. Benny’s grandmother smelled like peaches. He misses her. She taught him how to bake.
“He found your scent token in my nest right away,” Wayne adds.
“Oh,” Benny says again, his legs beginning to shake. “Oh.”
Marsha guides him back to the nest. To his pup.
Steve is asleep, a plain, white shirt clutched in his fist, held by his nose. The exposed skin of his back is covered in a sheen of sweat, and his cheeks are pink. Too warm all over from his presentation.
Slowly, Benny sinks down to sit at the center of the nest, and he carefully places a hand on top of Steve’s, aims his wrist towards his boy’s nose.
Steve purrs and nuzzles towards it, and Benny purrs in response. His hand moves to grasp Benny’s forearm and he mumbles, “Good, safe.”
“Yeah, Baby, you’re safe.”
🫂🫂🫂
Steve wakes around 9 that night, his cramps intense. He lets out a whine that sounds pitiful, even to his heat-addled mind. “Mama?” he asks softly, even though he hasn’t called his mother that since he started grade school. “Mama?”
“It’s okay, Steve. It’s okay,” she soothes back, petting his cheek.
Her powdery scent fills his nose, mildly floral, and he whines again. His belly cramps harder, an ache that radiates through his pelvis. He turns, seeking out the comforting scents of Wayne’s nest, only to press his nose into the palm of a callused hand.
Steve breathes in deeply. Apples and warmth.
He whines again, wordless and high pitched, both hands reaching, grasping. Steve feels safe, feels loved. Desperately. Overwhelmingly.
He reaches for it with his heart, touches that love with his own, and cries out. A love so big it hurts.
His fingers catch on soft cotton, body-warm because it’s being worn. He clenches his fists, whines as he pulls himself closer.
Steve’s not sure if he imagines it when he hears his mother say, “See, he needs you,” so gentle. When he hears a shaky gasp in response.
Then big arms lift him up, holding him like a pup, cradled against a strong chest. A warm hand guides his head down, positions his nose so he’s hit with the most intense burst of apples and love. Of sweetness and safety.
He snuffles closer, wants only this. Feels himself relax.
He does not understand yet, but he knows. His feelings have always been too big, but here they can be. He can let them be big, because here they are only love. Only joy.
Steve drifts to sleep in his mama’s arms for the first time, and for that moment, all is right with the world.

oooooh for your 1K celebration could i request scenario 133 with jack hughes pretty pls and thank you :)
Thank you for requesting <3
SCENARIO #133 Bffs 'practising'
📞 dialling…
“Are you kidding?” Jack asked in surprise, eyes almost burst straight out of his head, pushing off his headboard to lean closer to y/n opposite him on his bed. 
“Jack, stop, it's so embarrassing.” She hushed urgently, hoping Luke couldn’t hear anything from the room next door. Heat flushed to her neck, and she buried her face in her hands. “People didn't like me like that, okay?”
He leant back again, jaw agape and mind trying to process the information. Out of all the years they’d known each other, he couldn’t comprehend how he didn't know she’d never been kissed before or how he never knew about it. What rattled him the most was that he knew guys who would have gone through the trenches for y/n back in high school, yet nothing ever came of it. His ride or die, y/n? Never been kissed?
He pushed his hair off his forehead, the locks getting longer just the way he knew she liked it, “But college? You're saying you did three years of college and nothing? I'm finding it hard to believe that someone as pretty and cool as you had nobody who wanted to kiss you, sweets.”
Her hands fell to her lap, fiddling with the ends of her pyjama bottoms, stomach flipping anxiously at all the two memories of when she almost had a kiss, but could never bring herself to go through with it. It just didn’t feel…right.
“Ah, well, my friends were more approachable, I guess. I don't even know what the fuck to do anyway, like how do you even make-out?” She chuckled, peering up to give him a quizzed look. 
Jack didn’t need to think, didn’t need to hesitate, the first thought that came to mind hit him like a brick and was a risk he was willing to take, the tightness and excitement in his chest needed relief or he would end up facing the anguish of not taking the risk.
“I can teach you.” He said, quickly with his unwavering confidence across his lips, eyes flickering to her lips. “For real, I'll teach you how to kiss. Come on, it'll be fun and it's just me. You know I won't tease you.”
“You don’t have to, J. Honestly, you don’t have to pity me.”
“It’s all good, sweets. I’ve got you, c’mere.” He patted his thigh twice, inviting her in with a confident grin on his face. She wasn’t sure if he was confident or finding amusement in the whole thing.
She exhaled, crawling towards him and straddling his lap, the new position sparking a funny excitement in her stomach, heat surging over her body. His hands held her hips, firm but not bruising, enough to reassure her that, he was sure. Y/n’s breath fell shaky, she’d been face to face with him before but not in that position, where his thumbs rubbed her hipbones gently and her hands wound around his shoulders. 
“Don’t be nervous, princess,” he murmured, “tilt your head to the left and follow my lead.” 
She did, closing the space between them. He pressed his lips to hers tenderly, slotting perfectly. In those brief, six seconds it felt as if the world burst into colours around her, butterflies swarming around her stomach and finally understanding how addicting it was to taste another. Without much thought, she slid her hand to his nape, pulling a groan from Jack’s throat.
Y/n pulled away, lips still parted but eyes searching his for any speck of mutual desire that washed through her, hands still holding each other but she felt his fingers sneak under her t-shirt with feathery touches. 
“Do…do you normally make noises like that when you kiss girls?” she asked quietly, a wild glint in her eyes, one that Jack struggled to contain himself over. He shook his head honestly, hands slithering further under her shirt but doing nothing but running his hands over her waist. “J, I think I wanna make-out with you.”
His lips quirked up in the corners and he licked his lips, “Me too. It’s gonna feel weird, but move your tongue against mine, just follow my lead, ‘kay?”
She nodded, eyes fluttering closed and leaning into him. He pressed his mouth to hers again, swiping his tongue over her bottom lip, feeling her open cautiously before sliding his tongue further. Jack was right, not that she didn’t believe him but his tongue finding hers and lapping against it was alien, yet she followed him. His hand moved up her back, the other arm still wrapped around her waist and keeping her secure to his body, lips moving in a slow rhythm, his chest fizzling at the little moans emitting from her shamelessly as they licked into each other. For someone who’d never made out with anyone before, she learned fast, ignoring the saliva drooling from the corners of mouths. 
Jack hummed when she looped her other arm around his shoulder’s tighter, unknowingly rolling her hips into his crotch, their rhythm becoming hungrier, hotter and heavier until they had to pull back, gasping for air.
Jack rested his forehead against hers, the pair falling into giggles. Twirling a strand of his hair around her finger, she smiled. “How was I?”
“Good, but I think we’re gonna have to go again just so I can be sure.”
He rolled them onto their sides, Jack propped up by his elbow with y/n tucked underneath him, kissing her hard with his hand soothing over her waist and hiking her t-shirt to her ribs. She moaned into him with a slight smile to her lips, one hand tucking his hair away from his face meanwhile her arm held onto his shoulders. Love, lust, hunger and comfort during three separate kisses, yet three attempts at showing how deep down they knew they were meant for each other.

Nurse
Enzo Berkshire x Reader
Tumblr media
Merlin, you felt awful. You were sick, your nose was all stuffed, you felt hot and cold at the same time, you kept coughing until your throat hurt. One of your friends took you to the infirmary to be seen by Madam Pomfrey after a coughing spell when you were on your way to breakfast. You insisted on going to classes, but your friend wasn’t having any of that. 
You were only in the infirmary for about 15 minutes, waiting to be seen when the doors flew open. You looked over, the sound catching your attention, only to see your boyfriend Lorenzo rushing towards you.
“What happened? Are you okay? Pansy said she saw you going to the infirmary. What’s wrong?” He asked as he crouched in front of you, one hand cupping your cheek and the other grabbing your hand as he looked you over, like he was looking for any injuries.
“I’m fine.” You said, sighing softly at his touch, leaning your head into his hand.
“They’re sick.” Your friend said beside you. “Coughing and all that.”
“You should be in bed, sweetheart.” He said, looking back up to your face, his hand moving from your cheek to your forehead. “You’re burning.” He said softly, frowning.
“I’ll be fine.” You said, but even with those words, your voice was hoarse from all the coughing and your sore throat.
He was about to respond when Madam Pomfrey called you over. He stood up and offered you his hand, walking you over to her office, making you sit down in one of the chairs as he stood behind you, brushing your hair from your face.
The matron checked you over before giving you a vial of medicine, directing you to take it a few times a day and to go get some rest. Enzo helped you back to your dorm before forcing you out of your school uniform and into pajamas and back into bed.
“It’s like a furnace with all of this.” You gestured to all the blankets he threw over you.
“You gotta stay warm.” He said as he grabbed the vial Madam Pomfrey gave you and poured out the amount she recommended into a cup and offered it to you. You reluctantly took it and grimaced at the taste. You guessed even magic couldn’t make medicine taste good sometimes. “Go to sleep and I’ll get you some food when you wake up.” He said, taking the cup from you and setting it aside, sitting beside you on the bed and running his fingers through your hair.
“You should be in class.” You mumbled, getting comfortable under all the blankets.
“Not when my girl is sick.” He shook his head.
“You’re gonna get sick, too.”
“Then it’ll be your turn to nurse me back to health.” He mused with a small smile.
“I didn’t sign up for that.” You joked back, closing your eyes. He knew you had a weakness when it came to playing gently with your hair and used it to his advantage to get you back to sleep.
“I know you’ll do it anyways.”

TW: TALK OF GUNS, INJURES FROM GUNS, DEATH, ANDROID GORE IG?
Second part of my Rota Fortunea fic!
“The leader of the resistance, Sunday, was found dead fifteen system hours ago. Forensic experts have deduced the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head. However, upon finding the gun at the crime scene, only Sunday's fingerprints were found on it. Law enforcement is investigating the crime scene-”
Ratio shut the TV off with a grumble, glaring at his reflection in the dark screen. He set the remote down and turned to the nearby table, Aventurine’s sleeping body laying atop it.
He glanced at Ruan Mei and Herta. Oil stained their hands, working on hooking Aventurine up to a power source before they worked on fixing him. He—reluctantly—stayed a few feet back, after both women had practically ripped the android from his arms when he walked through the door.
Barely a word had been exchanged between the women and Ratio, putting all their attention and focus into Aventurine. He could do little but stand back, peering over their shoulders from time to time to try and check their progress.
Ruan Mei moved, allowing Ratio a clear view of Aventurine’s face-
He cringed. Some layers of machinery had been stripped away near his right eye, leaving a red LED light to stare back at him. His eyes drifted, the metal of his neck slight exposed–
He turned away. It was too much to bear. Seeing someone who used to be his friend– no. The man he loved in such a state killed him inside. He moved to sit down, sighing heavily.
“Don't move much,” Ruan Mei softly scolded, not even turning to look at him. “You sustained three gunshot wounds from Sunday. You don't want them to open.”
He grumbled a little bit, muttering something under his breath as a reply. Ruan Mei didn’t say anything else, fully focused on the android laying atop the table in front of her.
Herta was no different, the only indication of her presence being her soft mutterings to herself, working with Ruan Mei as if they had some telepathic connection they were communicating through.
It was unnerving, to say the least. The silence in the room.
Ratio sighed again and leaned against the chair, staring up at the ceiling. His body relaxed into the chair; the adrenaline had long worn off, slowly being replaced with exhaustion. He fought it as long as he could, fought to keep his eyes open- but his body knew he was safe.
His eyes started to slip closed, hoping for just a little cat nap…it sounded nice at this point…
Knock, knock, knock. …knock-knock!
His body jerked, sitting up straight in the chair. The two geniuses had made progress on Aventurine, he deduced they were just over halfway in connecting him to a power source- but that wasn't the priority at the moment.
Someone knocked on the door.
Herta had walked away from the table, leaving Ruan Mei to continue for a moment by herself. She turned to look at Ratio as she heard the chair jerk, her expression unreadable.
“You're awake.” She said bluntly.
“W- ahem- what was that?” He asked, rubbing his eyes. “That knock. Is it-”
“Thank you, Miss Herta,” A voice—definitely not Herta’s—came from the hallway she had disappeared down a moment ago. “I'm sorry to inconvenience you at a time like this. I had a run-in with a few androids above ground, and I just need a few tune-ups on my arm–”
A male figure, clad in a dusty dark pink cloak, walked into the room at Herta’s side. He pulled his hood back, his hair dyed pink with long, white roots. Deep crimson eyes scanned the room as he stopped dead in his tracks, blinking at the two new figures.
“Oh.” He mumbled in surprise. “There's other men here. That's…intriguing.”
“Never mind them,” Herta shooed him to another table, aiding him in sitting atop it. “You said you need me to fix your arm? Which one?”
The man shed his cloak, revealing himself to be wearing a tight black tank top, as well as black shorts with knives tucked inside harnesses. He carefully extended a mechanical arm, using his other hand to point to his elbow. “This one, the joints got busted up real bad. I was afraid it would fall off before I got here.”
Ratio’s eyes widened upon seeing him. His arms and legs were very visibly mechanical, white metal with elegant dark pink accents. His stomach almost sank upon the realization.
Another android?
“Wow, Shilou,” Herta mused, taking his arm into her hands and examining his joint. “This is really badly damaged. You really are lucky it didn't fall off on the way.”
“I know,” Shilou chuckled a little. “Thank you again, Miss Herta. Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you? Any materials you need? I can't keep letting you fix me without any sort of payment-”
“Excuse me,” Ratio’s voice cut him off, his arms folded across his chest in an almost standoffish manner. “Who are you?”

Chapter 4: uh oh, I'm fallin' in love
series masterlist previous part || next part
Tumblr media
pairing: anthony bridgerton x fem!daphne's best friend!reader WC: 2.3k words
Warnings: period-typical gender roles, idiots in love, anthony being a big softie, mostly fluff, i still ship y/n and daphne tbh
Summary: At her wit's end after Anthony's multiple attempts to scare away her suitors, Daphne employs her best friend's help to keep her brother distracted while she tries to find a husband. It's a foolproof plan, except it ends up working a little too well. (or, a Bridgerton version of The Taming of the Shrew/10 things I hate about you)
Tumblr media
June 16, 1812 - “How’s Mr Norwood?” you asked Daphne, sitting on the couch next to her in the Bridgertons’ tea room, her legs on your lap as the rain steadily poured outside.
Your best friend and her hopefully-husband-to-be had been looking particularly cozy as of late, and you knew that you had played no small part in making that happen. Unfortunately, Daphne’s happiness was often overshadowed by the small pang of guilt you felt every time you had a particularly lovely afternoon with her oldest brother.
“Oh, he’s lovely. I do think he’ll propose in the next few weeks,” she said excitedly, her legs dancing excitedly on your lap.
You squealed in response, absolutely elated at the prospect of seeing your best friend in a wedding gown before the end of the season. It’s practically all she’d dreamed about, and you couldn’t believe the time was so close.
“Where will you live? After you marry, I mean,” you asked, twirling a lock of your hair around your index finger. “If I have to travel to another country to see you, I’ll riot.”
Daphne paused, unsure. “We haven’t particularly discussed it. I think his family has a home a few hours away, but surely his older brother will inherit that…”
You sat up straight, realizing this was a sensitive subject. “That’s quite alright, I’m sure your dowry will be more than enough for a simple estate somewhere nearby,” you reassured, patting her legs comfortingly.
If they were truly in love, it wouldn’t matter how small or large their home was. But Daphne only hummed in response, looking out distractedly at the raindrops hitting the window.
Deciding not to press your best friend and potentially cause her more distress, you changed the subject.
Playing with the hem of Daphne’s dress, you said nonchalantly, “I suppose I’ll end things with Anthony right before Phillip proposes. There’s no real point in continuing the façade if Phillip has to ask Anthony for your hand anyway, so it’s not like we can keep going longer than that.”
Daphne narrowed her eyes at you, smiling slightly. “Really? I thought you two were having a lovely time during your courtship.”
You paused, your hand going still for a moment. “Well, of course. We get along quite well. But it’s not real, Daphne. I don’t really have feelings for him and he doesn’t really have any intention of marrying me.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure!” you laughed at the absurdity of your best friend’s suggestion, sounding a bit panicked. “I couldn’t truly be interested in him!”
Just then, you heard the front door open and heavy footsteps coming down the hallway.
Recognizing her brother’s footfalls, Daphne called out, “Anthony, I didn’t know you’d gone out riding. It’s absolutely pouring outside!”
“I can’t believe it actually rained,” he groaned, his voice carrying across the hall. “I thought Colin just said that to be a nuisance.”
He peeked his head into the tea room, looking completely disheveled from what you could only assume was a hectic horse ride. His hair was soaking and stuck to his forehead, his sleeves were dripping water onto the carpet, and he was shivering slightly from the cold. And yet, you thought to yourself, he still looked more handsome than any other man in the ton.
“Y/N!” he yelped as his eyes fell on you, sitting comfortably on his couch as Daphne had her legs propped on your lap. “I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m sorry, I would’ve looked more… presentable. Or at least dry.”
It was the oddest thing, he suddenly seemed impossibly shy. You only laughed and shook your head, waving off his apology.
“Nothing I haven’t seen before,” you smiled, recalling how reckless young Anthony was when it came to riding.
Anthony crinkled his nose, scratching the back of his neck. “It’s different now, though,” he insisted, still sounding out of sorts. “I can head upstairs quickly to make myself presentable and greet you properly.”
“No, that’s quite alright,” you insisted, finding Anthony entirely too endearing at the moment. “I should probably head home anyway; I’ve been here the better part of the afternoon.”
“Let me walk you home at least,” pleaded the positively soaking man at the entrance of the room. “Or even just call a carriage.”
Your home was only a few minutes’ walk away, and you were usually happy to do it on your own. However, looking out the window you realized it probably wasn’t the best idea to head home in this weather.
“Very well then,” you conceded, finding it impossible to say no to Anthony.
“Alright, give me five minutes, then. Just let me change out of these clothes and I’ll be back,” he yelled over his shoulder, already out the door and rushing upstairs.
“So it's all just pretend, then?” asked Daphne smugly once Anthony was gone.
“Oh, shush,” you grumbled, shoving her legs off you.
But Daphne only laughed gleefully, a knowing twinkle in her eye.
---
June 19, 1812 - Anthony had gone into town on a fine Friday afternoon in search of a new pair of hunting boots when he spotted you some distance away. You were accompanied by your lady’s maid, and you seemed to be leaving the modiste.
Apart from noticing how stunning you looked, even in a simple day dress, Anthony realized a few things.
First, you were far enough away from him and positioned in such a manner that there was no chance that you would see him. He could easily just go on with his day, quickly find the pair of hunting boots he came for, and make his way home.
However, the second thing he took note of is that a gentleman such as himself would always go out of his way to greet the lady he was courting. Perhaps it was time to shift away from the tiring rake act he so often put on and act like a Bridgerton.
And finally, he noted that, in reality, he could come back for a pair of hunting boots at any time. However, he couldn’t unexpectedly run into you every day.
So, with all this in mind, Anthony determinedly shouted your name. When you didn’t hear him and kept walking, he yelled your lady’s maid’s name, who turned around to look at who had called for her. Spotting Anthony through the crowd of summer shoppers, your lady’s maid tugged at your sleeve, turning you around so you could see him.
“Oh, Anthony, what a surprise!” you called, unable to help the bright smile that lit up your face.
How gentlemanly, you thought, for Anthony to go out of his way to say hello. Perhaps he had left behind his rakish ways.
“It’s rather hot today, isn’t it?” said Anthony as he reached you, leaning down to kiss your hand in greeting. “What do you say about going across the street and enjoying some tea?”
Your eyebrows raised in surprise. Greeting you unexpectedly and asking to spend time together? This was quite unusual indeed.
“Is there something you wanted to talk about?” you said, somewhat nervously. Had Daphne somehow let her plan slip? “We were due to see each other this evening at the Featherington ball."
Anthony laughed, enjoying your confusion. It felt quite good to be a gentleman, he thought. “Not at all, I just thought I’d take advantage of the fact that I saw you. I’m not particularly keen on depriving myself of the company of a wonderful lady such as yourself.”
You felt your face growing hot, completely floored by how lovely Anthony was being. It was like his usual charm turned up by a factor of ten.
Looking over at your lady’s maid, you raised your eyebrows to ask if it was alright with her if your plans were derailed.
“Nowhere else to be,” she shrugged her shoulders.
“Perfect, then, let’s go,” you smiled at Anthony.
Hooking your hand into the crook of his arm, you couldn’t help but feel a flutter in your stomach. Bit by bit, you were realizing you were in far over your head. So far you couldn’t even see the ground anymore. Anthony was turning out to be completely unexpected.
And though you were practically giddy every time you saw him now, you were also fighting to bury the uncomfortable thought that you might have made a grave mistake trying to mastermind your courtship with him.
---
June 23, 1812 - “Well, I suppose I should get going,” Anthony said to Colin, getting up from his chair as he looked at his watch. “Y/N will surely be expecting me, seeing as how we went to a ball yesterday evening.”
Upon hearing Colin snickering in response, the eldest Bridgerton shot his younger brother an annoyed look.
“Do you think this is funny? Wait a few years and you’ll be doing this, too,” Anthony scoffed.
“It’s not that,” said Colin, still chuckling to himself. “It’s just that she’s been here since this morning. I ran into her and Daphne a few hours ago.”
“And you didn’t think to tell me?” asked Anthony in disbelief.
Colin shrugged. “I thought you’d surely seen her. You’re the one courting her, after all.”
“Why didn’t she ask for me?” grumbled Anthony, mostly to himself. “Well, even more reason to go see her now. Goodbye, Colin. I would say it was a pleasure speaking with you but based on the last two minutes I don’t particularly think it was.”
In response, Colin half-heartedly crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at his brother. “Say hello to your wife for me,” he teased, knowing Anthony’s aversion to marriage.
But his jab was only met with a slammed door. Anthony was too focused on finding you.
How on earth had he not noticed your presence in his home the whole day? To be fair, before you started courting, you spent copious amounts of time at the Bridgerton residence, with or without Daphne, and he wasn’t always aware until after the fact.
You had practically already been a part of the family, but it felt different now. He felt panicked that he hadn’t already greeted you, and he was worried you would hold it against him.
Rushing down the stairs, he ran into Daphne, who was shuffling through a stack of letters in the foyer.
“Who are you expecting correspondence from? A suitor?” he questioned suspiciously.
“She’s in the sitting room,” answered Daphne curtly.
Without a second thought, Anthony dashed across the hall, bursting into the sitting room.
There, he found you and Hyacinth sitting next to each other on the pianoforte bench. Your hands were on hers as you guided her nine-year-old fingers over the keys to form a melody. Startled, you dropped Hyacinth’s hands and turned to look over at the doorway.
“Is something the matter, dear?” asked Violet calmly from the other side of the room, quite used to the antics of her eight children.
“No, no- not at all,” gulped Anthony, not expecting to have seen you with his youngest sister. “I just heard Y/N had stopped by, is all.”
“That’s kind of you,” you said, smiling softly at the man you were courting. “Hyacinth seems to be a natural at the pianoforte.”
“Better than Gregory anyway,” said Hyacinth haughtily, eliciting a hearty laugh from you.
“Well, run along, then, Hyacinth,” urged Anthony. “I believe I should like to speak with Y/N.”
Hyacinth groaned, “She’s not yours Anthony. I believe I should like to stay," she said petulantly. "I was having such a lovely time with Y/N before you interrupted.”
She hugged you tight, lest Anthony tried to make her leave by force. Laughing, you hugged her back, patting her head soothingly.
“No one’s making you leave, Hyacinth,” you shot Anthony a playful glare. “I apologize for not finding you earlier, Gregory has just learned how to play chess and wanted to play a match. And then Hyacinth came in and thought it quite unfair that I had spent such a long time with Gregory and not her. And then, well, you know how they are…” you explained, your voice full of fondness for the youngest Bridgertons.
“Oh, do I,” said Anthony, walking over to ruffle Hyacinth’s hair affectionately. “Who won the chess match?”
Resigning himself to the fact that his little sister wouldn’t leave, Anthony made himself comfortable on the couch closest to you. And though he was hoping to spend some time alone– well, chaperoned– with you, he couldn’t deny that his heart was doing all sorts of gymnastics in his chest at the thought of the care you had for his siblings.
“We each won one and the third was a stalemate,” you responded, winking at Anthony and running your fingers through Hyacinth’s hair. “He’s quite good.”
“I want to learn how to play chess,” whined Hyacinth, detesting the fact that you and Gregory shared something she couldn’t join in on.
“I can teach you next time I stop by,” you promised, smiling fondly at her. “It’s quite a fun game, once you understand the rules.”
And at that very moment, Anthony knew he loved you. It had happened slowly, and then quite suddenly he was extremely aware of it. Much like you had made your way into the Bridgertons’ lives, you had made your way into his heart.
He knew he would be a fool not to see it. All he ever wanted was to take care of his family, and seeing you feel the same way was doing all sorts of things to his heart that he found impossible to ignore. You cared so deeply about his family, and it was difficult not to imagine the pair of you having a child of your own.
Anthony had decided. This was the first and last courtship he would ever have. He was falling faster than he could imagine, and he didn't particularly want to do anything to stop it.

“You need to check him out for me, y/n!” screamed Giselle, your best friend— from the other line. “Okay, okay. So tell me more about this guy and I’ll see what I can do. But you better pay for tteokbokki next time!” you replied. “His name is Ni-ki, he’s only a year older than us, a hot senior.. anyway! I’ll send you a picture of him. He looks a little like you not gona’ lie…”
“Okay, I’ll update you when I see him. Unlike you, my class starts early so… I’ll see you later Giselle.” You hung up the line, placing your phone in your bag as you rushed to school.
You could barely walk in the snow, your shoes soaked because you refused to wear snow boots. ‘That’s it.. I accept my defeat, I’ll be late to my first class after winter break’ you thought to yourself, staring at the path ahead of you and letting out a dramatic sigh.
Before you could finish your dramatic act, you spot something that isn’t white like the snow that’s surrounding you—a tall slim guy struggling in the snow just like you. Though, there was something about him, He looked…. Familiar? That’s when you realized.
You quickly pulled your phone out of the side of your bag, putting your arms in an awkward position as you tried to open and close your bag. You reopened you and Giselle’s chats to check the photo she sent you of the guy she requested you to “keep an eye on”. Just as you figured, there he was, it was him, Nishimura Riki was right infront of you.
Lost in thought, your body shifted closer to him, making him side eye you weirdly. You kept getting closer and closer—until he finally said something. “Uh, do you need anything?” His voice low but deep—making you come back from lala land. “what? What! No.. hah no.. I was just approaching you because I noticed you’re also late to school! Why not walk together right?” You blocked your ears as you spoke, not wanting to let yourself even hear what nonsense came out of your own mouth.
“…Alright.” He said, both of you continuing your walk to school in silence—mostly because you didn’t known eachother but also because of how awkward your only conversation was.
Tumblr media
“That’s it for class, make sure to study for the provincial math exam, you guys have 2 days to study everything we’ve learned this semester. Class dismissed” your teacher spoke before the bell rang for lunch.
You walked out of the classroom trying to hold your excitement—excited to see your friends since you couldn’t in the morning.
To your surprise, when you message them asking where they are, they reply saying that they already went to the bus station to go to the mall food court… cafeteria alone it is..
You knew school wasn’t going to be fun when you come back, but you didn’t think it’s be this boring. Just as you were saying that—Giselle messaged you.
Giselle: did you see him?!
You: Yaaah, we were both late to class so we walked to school together. We didn’t talk tho.
Giselle: omg(!(!;$$;!(!!!! How was it? Omg was he hotter close up??
You: it was so bad… I embarrassed myself that’s the reason we didn’t even talk. He’s alright I guess… he’s like emo?
Just as you said that, a guy sat next to you. You switched you gaze to him—Ni-ki? Again? Speaking of the devil… You were quick to speak, “hey, why’d you sit here?” You questioned him, a smirk across your face, thinking that he must want to become friends after what happend in the morning—oh but if only you knew how fast that smirk was going to be wiped off your face.
He removed his AirPods, looking back at you with one eyebrow raised and his lips slightly parted. “Were you talking to me?” Your eye lids quickly turning heavy at the embarrassment you just experienced.
“What? No! I mean, yes! Do you understand Uhm.. math?” You made up, “what kind of math?” he asked, to which you quickly answered. “All. Everything. 11th grade math.” “Do you need help?” “Yes, but I don’t know anyone who’s good in math and.. you look smart..?”
You dodged a bullet of more embarrassment. Ni-ki believed it and requested helping you with the math you couldn’t even understand when the teacher explained it. Surprisingly, he could explain pretty well and you understood a few things.
He offered to help you more before the huge exam—adding his number into your phone so that you could message him whenever you have a question you can’t complete.
Tumblr media
It had been days since your first incounter with nishimura riki—he helped you pass your math exam which was unexpected since you both never talked. It’s like you guys were destined to become friends.
Everyday you guys became closer. It went from only studying—to walking eachother to class—to hanging out at each others house. Giselle was aware of everything aswell, getting herself excited so that she could use you as an excuse to talk to him.
But you couldn’t lie, feelings started to grow the more and more you both hung out. He was perfect in every way. Whenever you’d go to his apartment that he lived alone in—everything was organised, the Colors all matched. He always smelled good, his hair was never greasy either. He looked good in everything aswell.
When he’d help you with things, he never once made you feel stupid. Everyone knew him as the cold senior but he seemed so nice with you.
Dinnng!
giselle: Are you with ni-ki?
you: No, he just left. Why?
Giselle: oh. em. gee. He’s at the same store as me and this guy but I don’t want him to know I speak to boys…
You: LOL? Why??
Giselle: because when I’ll approach him, he’ll think I have a guy already!!!
You: you’re suchaaa boopppp 🙄🙄
Giselle: homie hopper til i Die 😫
A few minutes later, you heard a knock at your door. You rush to open it—wondering who it is.
It was ni-ki, again. “Hey, I noticed how you’ve been stressing over all the exams coming up next week. So I figured after you left I’d go to the store and get snacks so we can chill and watch movies.” He said, looking down at you, his eyes softer than usual when speaking.
“Come in, ki! You’ll catch a cold.” You giggled as you pushed him inside then dragging him to your room. He was a tease but still had a soft spot inside of him. “Whatcha’ wanna watch? Let me guess, tru-“ “true beauty!” “I knew it.”
Everyday was something new,
- hey y/n, I got you lunch
- Wanna’ hang out tonight?
- Let’s go to the movies
- Did you hear the latest rumor about-
- Do you know how many teeth sharks have?
His excuses became worse than yours—he just wanted to hang out. As much as you wanted to aswell, you knew your feelings for him would just grow bigger. You couldn’t like him though, he was one of giselle’s target—you were just her messenger.
There was only one thing to do, ignore him, no matter what.
“Y/n, wait up.” You heard from across the hallway behind you. You knew that voice—nishimura’s. It was unforgettable—almost making you turn back, but you had to control yourself. You brought this apon yourself, you were only supposed to watch from far, not get close and fall inlove.
You saw him from a reflection, the stupid look on his face. He seemed like he felt dumb, chasing like a dog after you, and for what? You were the one avoiding him, why is he the one who feels bad about himself.
After a week of nishimura trying to get a hold of you, he eventually gave up. He blew up your phone many times knowing you’d never be able to explain your horrible behaviour in person. That’s when you decided to write him one and only message to try and get him to stop;
You: I don’t like you, please stop
It wasn’t normal for you to act this harsh, ever. You never behaved like this but you know deep down that him trying to get your attention just makes you think about him more. You made it seem in your message that you didn’t want him to text back, but really—you hoped he’d make an argument so that you could act clueless, just so you have an excuse to yourself, to message him a little more.

Fast forward, 2 weeks before the end of the school year.
It was soon to be exam week, but it was different this time—you didn’t have a miracle pop up to help you like last semester.
You were at the library, waiting for Giselle and your other friends from school—including some that go to giselle’s. As you were waiting, your eye kept shifting to the couch infront of you—where ni-ki was at.
You and ni-ki used to always study at this library, that’s mostly why you came here. He always kept to himself and stayed with the unpopular people—people you didn’t know, so you never had the chance to ask anyone about him. You knew nothing about him anymore. Your friendship with him ended as fast as it started—reminder, all. because. of. you.
A few minutes later, you spot Giselle and her friends walk in. “Omg! Y/n!!! Long time no seee! When was the last time we hung out? March break? It’s been sooo long.” Said one of the girls as she ran to hug you. “Hii ellie, yah it’s been a while heh..” you replied. Giselle watching in amusement and joining in “okay get off her, I wana’ sit next to my cutie y/nnieee”.
“Hey, Giselle. Psst, Giselle” Whispered Ellie. “What is it?” “Who’s that guy from across us? Don’t make it obvious, just pretend you’re looking at the painting behind him..” You realized she was talking about Ni-ki—and without thinking, you talked back—“that’s Ni-ki!” You said in excitement, as if you were waiting to get a chance to talk about him.
Giselle looked a little shocked at your tone of voice who seemed to be said with a little more enthusiasm than intended. “Yeah, that’s Nishimura Riki” she told Ellie. “Wait, wasn’t that one of the guys you wanted to try and hook up with?” Hanni questioned, another girl who was at the table.
Your ears went from big to huge the second she asked that question, wanting to know her thoughts about ni-ki now. “Oh yah, but he’s too.. I don’t know he’s too mysterious. Need’ me a frat boy like Lee Heeseung or Sim Jaeyun. Plus, he’s leaving soon.” What? He’s leaving? “Where is he leaving to?” you asked, to which she replied “Japan, his homecountry.”
You stared at him from across the room, analysing his every move, hoping he’d look back at you.
You waited until all your girl friends left—obviously, ni-ki still there—studying to make sure he gets well. Unlike you, he got all the hard subjects second semester—and being a senior Doesn’t help it.
You stood up, feeling a little weird. You were the one disrespecting him, yet you’re the one going back to him. You had your reason for what you did, but it was never a valid reason.
You walked towards him, his gaze still focused in his books. As you got closer, he instinctively looked at you, following a long eye roll from him.
You thought he was going to speak, maybe ask what you want from him, but he didn’t say anything— he just, stared at you.
“I-im sorry, ni-ki.” You mumbled. His eyebrows furrowed, “don’t you think you’re a little late?” He said, chuckling to himself, all the memories coming back to both your minds. “I-I know I was wrong, I swear I had a reason! It seemed important to me back then but—I realized now how stupid it was and I’m just sorry, okay? You don’t need to forgive me but—“
“Y/n” he interrupted you, taking your wrist and sitting you down next to him. He let you adjust in place before he leaned in, his lips slightly brushing your ear, “if you’re so sorry, then explain everything.”
“No.. I can’t say it, it’s just—personal.” You couldn’t tell him that your friend liked him, that’s like … betraying Giselle! “Fine then, whatever.” He spoke, his voice turning cold.
You and him sat there in silence. He went back to his work as you just sat there. He didn’t order you to leave, he didn’t leave, you didn’t excuse yourself either. You figured to just open your books and pretend study again—just so you could sit a little longer with him.
You started drawing random doodles on a paper to make it seem like you were working, it’s not like ni-ki would take a glance at your papers anyway, right? He didn’t care.
You started thinking to yourself, ‘how could you I ever tell ni-ki why I acted like that? I miss him so much. Why did Giselle ever have to lay her eyes on him?’ Not realising that you were actually writing down your every thought onto the paper until ni-ki shifted a bit in his seat, making you come back into reality and quickly scribbling on everything you wrote.

the day of flight xxx
It’s finally summer. But it feels as if a rock has just landed on your head. You won’t see Nishimura anymore in the hallways, you won’t see him for a while actually. Deep down, the thought made your heart ache. Matter of fact, you don’t even know when he’ll be leavi-
Notifications — INSTAGRAM -> Choi Soobin posted a photo: Goodluck in Japan, Dude!
Now? He’s leaving.. now?! Before your brain could process anything that was happening, you jumped from your bed, took your keys and sprinted to the car.
As you walked into the airport, you realized what you just did. You just drove to the airport for ni-ki—the guy YOU ghosted—the guy that gave you a chance to speak after doing him so wrong, yet you still chose not to. There’s no going back anymore.
You were able to track his flight on this app you had, so you know he still hasn’t boarded his plane yet. Though, one thing you couldn’t track was—his gate number.
Luckily, the world was on your side today—spotting Soobin just as you were thinking of plans on how to find Ni-ki in the huge airport. You sprinted towards him. “Soo-SOO-SOOBIN!” You panted, attempting to catch your breath after running. “NI-KI..! GATE? WHERE” You questioned, your hands gripping his shoulders aggressively—unable to form a full sentence.
To which he respond with, “woah, ‘wonder what you’re doin’ here.. calm down, Gate B3” “THANK U”
you ran all over the airport, you asked 3 different workers, just to find his gate. It’s too late to make effort now, but you couldn’t imagine riki leaving without you seeing him again and giving a proper goodbye.
After running around like a lost dog, you finally did it—you found him. He was sitting in the corner of lined seats at the gate in the back, near the window, his eyes glued to his phone.
You ran to him, the sound of your heels against the floor making everyone stare at you—including ni-ki who raised his eyes from his phone, surprised to see you.
“Ni-ki..” you muttered, your voice cracking a little. You didn’t expect yourself to get emotional so fast. “Ni-ki, I’m so sorry—Im sorry for everything. I know what I did was wrong. I’m sorry. Someone else liked you and I know I couldn’t like you aswell , I’m sorry” You continued, “I didn’t want to stay with you because I felt as if I was just playing a game since I knew we could never get together but now I don’t care anymore.. I’m sorry, I’m sorry” you spat out all at once. You didn’t even know if the words came out right from the amount of stuff you had in mind.
“Why are you saying sorry?” The black haired boy said as he chuckled, standing up and towering over you—slowly brushing off hair strands that sticked because of the tears that you ugly-sobbed out. You looked at him in confusion. “W-why—hic—why are you laughing?..”
he pulled you into a hug, his arms overlapping themselves on you. “Why are you apologising?” He pulled away slightly to look at you with a smile, “you can just say you like me.”
“By the way.. I saw what you wrote the other day in your notebook. You're so stupid..”
