I just started following you a while ago and I love your work so much, I was even considering restarting my blog to write!
I was wondering, can I request something about the reader being a college student? And maybe harry is taking a break from touring and writing music. Heâd probably try to make jokes and distract her sometimes, but heâd also want her to teach him stuff and debrief after class. He might even get serious about her study sessions and be super quiet, but also bring her snacks here and there.
If you get to write this, thank you sm!! đ
lady grinning soul | h.s
summary: see request ^ basically that, but itâs a slight au because harry isnât tooooo famous in this
| thank u anon <3 ur too sweet. i hope u got back into writing

| sorry this took so long to get to! iâve been in a slump. i hope you donât mind either that i made him more of an up-and-coming artist rather than the fame he has today :^) lhh just felt right for this too heâs so bf
"you did what?" YN laughed, her fingers coated in the smooth, familiar feel of one of harry's leave-in conditioners as she worked it into his damp curls, gently coaxing through knots and tangles that told stories of long nights and late shows.
harry sat on on leg while the other hung lazily off her bed, shirtless, his skin glistening faintly under the dim dorm lights, still cool and damp from his shower. a well-worn towel hung low on his hips, clinging to him in soft folds, and he twisted the silver ring on his index finger, flashing that crooked, boyish grin that still managed to make her heart skip.
"yesâwater," he said, a hint of pride in his voice as he looked up at her through dark lashes. "poured it right into the crowd. they went mental."
she chuckled, focusing on a particularly stubborn knot as his head tipped back, giving her a better angle. "do i even want to know why you did that?"
"beer," he replied simply, with a lazy shrug and a mischievous glint in his eye. he shifted, turning to face her fully, the mattress giving a soft creak under his weight as he adjusted. "they were flinging beer at me, so i figured it was fair game. bit of payback," he said with a smirk, his voice deepening in that low, conspiratorial way that she adored.
her lips tugged into a soft smile as she leaned in, her eyes tracing the ink on his skin, pausing over the small mermaid tail curling near his elbow. she felt the room go still for a beat, her fingers just barely grazing his tattooed arm. "tell me more?" she murmured, barely above a whisper.
but instead of answering, he caught her hand in his own, his thumb brushing over her knuckles as he brought her palm up, pressing it gently against the warm, bare skin just below his left breastbone. his expression softened, and his voice dipped, tender and a little unsteady. "was thinkingâright here. your initial." his gaze searched hers, a flicker of vulnerability in his eyes that made her heart skip, lingering between them in a way that left her breathless.
a small, breathy laugh escaped her as she drew her hand back, fingers trailing down his chest as she settled back on the bed, her heart fluttering with that same familiar warmth that only he could draw out of her. "about the show, styles," she chided, though her cheeks had warmed at the idea. it was all she could do to keep her voice steady, even as that look in his eyes held her captive, that glimmer of something deeper, something unspoken.
with a lazy grin, he slumped back on her bed, folding his arms behind his head as if he owned every inch of this tiny dorm room. he was still her harryâthe one who'd lean against her door at ungodly hours after a gig, smelling faintly of stale smoke and beer, his voice barely a murmur as he recounted the night's little victories and mishaps. but there was something else in his eyes tonight, an edge softened by the dim light, his hand inching toward hers, fingers grazing against hers.
he gave her a dramatic sigh, pretending to be exasperated, but she could see the way his eyes lit up, the pride he tried to hide. "alright, picture thisâtiny, cramped stage, lights barely working, and a crowd that's already three drinks too deep."
she chuckled, already seeing it. "sounds like your crowd."
"my exact type.â he hummed, eyes glimmering. "i was halfway through kiwi when this guy in the front row starts singing louder than me. like, absolutely shouting every wordâmore like repeating guess, i donât think he knew the lyricsâdidn't care if he was off-key or not."
"oh no," she gasped, theatrics, biting back a grin. "how did you handle that?"
"well, first i tried to ignore him. y'know, be professional and all." he raised his chin, like he was already picturing himself on a real stage. "but then he threw his beer in the air, and half of it hit me, so i thought, why not join him?"
she felt the words settle over her, a quiet intimacy that wrapped around them, thick and warm. she let herself lean into him, their knees brushing, her hand finding his and lacing their fingers together. here, in this cocoon of her dimly lit dorm room, the outside world faded. it was just him-herâs, with his rough edges, inked skin, and soulful eyes that held a thousand unspoken promises.
"so," she murmured, her thumb tracing slow circles over his knuckles, "it was a good show then?"
a soft laugh escaped his lips, his eyes dancing as he looked at her. "good? better than good, baby." he said, a certain fire in his voice as he recalled the night. "place was packed-should've seen it. they might've only been there for the drink deals, but by the time we hit the first chorus, they were in it." he paused, a flicker of excitement lighting up his face as he leaned closer. "even had this one bloke shouting for an encore, practically begged us not tâleave."
she could see the pride, the kind that was so uniquely hisâmodest, but bursting at the seams, a quiet confidence that only she got to witness in moments like this. her heart swelled, and she squeezed his hand. "sounds like a big deal," she teased, her voice softening as she held his gaze. "next thing i know, you'll be playing to actual crowds, not just randoms at pubs."
"don't tease me," he chuckled, nudging her gently with his shoulder. "could happen. could be my big break, y'know? today, it's a back alley pub with sticky floorsâtomorrow, a real venue." he looked at her, his expression shifting from playful to something quieter, almost vulnerable. "maybe even a place you'd be proud to be seen at."
she shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "h, i'm already proud of you." and she meant itâdown to the core of her. there was a strength in his persistence, his dreams kept alive by late nights and small crowds, his music spilling into the shadows of empty bars and dim lights. it was the kind of resilience most people never understood, but it was something she loved about him, something that made him feel like home.
his hand shifted, cupping her face gently, his thumb brushing over her cheek as he searched her eyes. "how'd i get so lucky, yeah?" he murmured, almost as if to himself. he looked at her like he was seeing her for the first time, the weight of the night lingering between them, the quiet promise of everything they'd built together.
she tilted her face into his touch, eyes fluttering closed as she breathed him in-the faint smell of his shampoo, mingling with the scent of rain from outside and something warm, something distinctly him. her hand found his chest, fingertips resting over the steady beat of his heart.
"can i stay tonight?" he asked softly, his voice a low murmur against the backdrop of their shared silence.
she nodded, her lips brushing over his knuckles as she squeezed his hand. "wouldn't want you anywhere else."
with that, he leaned forward, capturing her lips in a kiss that felt like a thousand words, soft and slow, as if they had all the time in the world. harry's hand slid from her cheek down to her neck, his fingertips tracing a delicate line along her collarbone, sending a soft shiver through her. the playful glint in his eye had shifted, replaced by something deeper, a heat she felt all the way down to her toes. he inched closer, the rough rasp of his stubble brushing her jaw as his lips found the soft skin just below her ear.
"you're staring," she murmured, voice low, a smile on her lips as her fingers traced along his shoulder, her touch grazing the edge of his tattoo.
"can't help it." he whispered, his voice low and rough, leaving no question about what he wanted. his fingers trailed down her back, pulling her just a little closer as his towel slipped dangerously low on his hips, clinging to him in a way that left little to the imagination. "s'not every day i get my girl all to myself, undistracted." his fingers slipped just beneath the hem of her shirt, his thumb stroking slow, lazy circles along her hipbone, sending a faint shiver up her spine.
she felt herself melting into him, her fingers tracing the line of his jaw before wandering down to rest on his chest. his skin was warm, firm beneath her touch, and she felt the steady beat of his heart thrumming under her fingertips. just for a moment, she let herself get lost in it-the way his hands roamed, slow and sure, his lips brushing her neck, her jaw, her shoulder, each kiss igniting a trail of warmth.
but as his hands started to wander lower, his towel barely hanging on, she bit back a smile and placed her hand flat on his abdomen, feeling the firm, taut muscles tense under her touch. she let her fingers linger for a moment before giving him a light flick, snapping him out of the haze that had taken over.
he kissed his teeth, head snapping up, a shocked, slightly betrayed expression crossing his face as he met her gaze. she smirked, letting her eyes trail up and down him with a playful glint before meeting his eyes, her voice light and teasing.
"don't get too excited, styles. i've got an essay to write, remember?"
he blinked, looking adorably lost for a second, then let out a groan, throwing himself back on the bed in dramatic defeat, one arm flung over his face. "an essay, bunny? now?" he peeked at her from under his arm, a playful pout tugging at his lips. "you're really gonna make me lie here in agony while you write about... what? politics? shakespeare?"
"modern lit," she corrected, grabbing her laptop from the bedside table with a grin. she settled beside him, nudging his leg with her knee as he sighed in exaggerated frustration. "i'll make it up to you," she added, her voice sweet but her expression mischievous.
"is that right?" he asked, raising a brow, his mood instantly lightening as he leaned up on one elbow to watch her type. "what kind of 'make it up' are we talking, then?"
she rolled her eyes, though her smile softened.
"you're ridiculous, you know that?"
âmm-hm, i know,â he chuckled, unbothered. he kept his eyes trained on her as she adjusted the computer in her lap, fingers flying across the keys as she tried to ignore his gaze.
but she could already feel his fingers tracing idle patterns along her thigh, his head resting on her shoulder as he sighed dramatically, determined to make her work for it. âfine,â he murmured, pressing a quick kiss to her shoulder, knowing she wasnât going to let up. âbut donât say i didnât warn you when iâm too tortured to focus on my next gig.â
she shook her head, grinning. âi think youâll survive.â and despite his protests, she felt him settle beside her, his hand wrapped loosely around hers as he waited, patient and easy, for the essay to be doneâand for the night to be theirs again.
after a few more minutes of him sighing and shifting beside her, nudging her leg with his knee, or letting his fingers brush distractingly over her shoulder, she finally gave him a pointed look. âlovey, come on. at least put some pants on,â she said, biting back a laugh as he gazed up at her with an exaggerated look of betrayal.
âyâsure baby?â he mumbled, the corners of his mouth tugging into a cheeky grin as he adjusted the towel around his waist, letting it dip low enough to reveal the line of his hip bones. he leaned in close, his face just inches from hers. âlast chance to give up on that essay.â
she rolled her eyes, shoving him lightly as she tried to suppress a smile. âh. pants. now.â
he sighed dramatically, rolling off the bed and muttering under his breath as he crossed the room, as if sheâd asked him to do something outrageous. âyouâre cruel, you know that?â he grumbled, pulling on a pair of briefs, followed by his well-worn grey sweatpants. he shot her a mock glare as he snapped the waistband into place. âi hope that essayâs worth it,â he teased, flopping back down on the bed with another exaggerated groan.
but he couldnât keep up the act for long. settling beside her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her snug against him as he leaned over her, his gaze shifting to the screen of her laptop. she felt him press a quick kiss to the side of her head, and then he tilted his head curiously, reading the words on her screen. âalright, genius. whatâre we working on?â
she grinned, knowing his curiosity was genuineâharry was the only person who ever asked about her classes, who remembered the details of her projects, who even stayed up late to help her brainstorm ideas when she got stuck. âitâs for my modern lit paper,â she said, turning the laptop slightly so he could see the opening lines. âiâm writing about identity in contemporary poetry.â
his brow furrowed, and he gave a thoughtful hum. âidentity, huh?â his fingers started playing with a strand of her hair, twisting it absently as he thought. it still smelt like her lavender shampoo. âso, likeâhow people see themselves? or how they think they should be seen?â
she nodded, feeling a warm flutter in her chest at the way he genuinely tried to understand. âyeah, lovey, exactly. itâs about how people present different versions of themselves, depending on the world around them. how sometimes people feel like they have to hide who they really are, or adapt, to fit in.â
he was quiet for a moment, his eyes thoughtful as he took that in, a small crease forming between his brows. âguess i know a bit about that,â he murmured, almost to himself, then gave her a soft smile. âmakes sense, though. weâre all trying tâfigure it out, right?â
she looked at him, her heart swelling at the way he always found a way to connect with her world, to show up and care. he wasnât just the guy who played guitar in pubs and poured water over the crowdâhe was thoughtful and reflective, her safe place and her biggest support. she reached out, brushing a stray curl away from his forehead, her gaze softening.
he met her eyes, a small smile tugging at his lips as he watched her type a few lines, completely relaxed against her side. âyâreally like this stuff, donât you?â
she nodded, feeling her cheeks warm. âi do. and i like that you care enough to ask.â
he grinned, his hand resting over hers on the keyboard. âwouldnât miss it, bunny. i want to know it all. even the boring bits,â he teased, pressing another kiss to her temple. âso⌠whatâs next? how do yâwrap this thing up?â
as she dove into her explanation, she felt him settle in closer, his head resting on her shoulder, eyes flicking back and forth between her face and the screen. and even though heâd begun the night wrapped in little more than that towel and mischief, there was something about the way he lay beside her nowâcalm, engaged, just there for her.
after a while, she tried to concentrate on the closing argument of her essay, but harryâs hand found a lock of her hair again, twirling it lazily around his finger, his touch warm and gentle. every so often, heâd place a quick, messy kiss on her cheek, or the side of her head, each one more dramatic than the last, until she couldnât help but huff out a laugh, nudging him back.
âalright, enough with the distractions,â she muttered, shooting him a mock-stern look as he grinned back, clearly pleased with himself.
but he was relentless. when she referenced another poet, he piped up, a mischievous look in his eyes. âah, yes, that guy,â he said, tone teasing as he tapped his chin as though he were deep in thought. âbig fan. wrote that one poem about⌠feeling feelings, right?â
she rolled her eyes, biting back a laugh. âharry, iâm serious.â
âhey, i am too!â he replied, the grin on his face only widening. âpoetryâs got layers, YN. all about emotions and metaphors.â he lifted an eyebrow, giving her a wink that made her want to laugh and push him off the bed all at once.
she groaned, turning back to her screen, though the smile tugging at her lips gave her away. despite his teasing, she knew he respected her work and thought she was smart, even if he pretended to be clueless just to get a rise out of her.
a few minutes passed, and she found herself stuck, her fingers hovering over the keyboard as she struggled to find the right words to tie everything together. she could feel harryâs gaze on her, his eyes flicking between her face and the screen, and right then, her stomach gave a loud, unmistakable growl.
harryâs eyebrows shot up, and a playful, knowing smirk crossed his face. âoh, is that how it is, then?â he said, nudging her gently. âiâm over here pouring my heart and soul into supporting you, and youâre starving yourself for art.â
she laughed, rolling her eyes as she tried to wave him off. âitâs fine, i just need toââ
but he was already halfway across the room, grabbing his phone with a sense of purpose, tapping away with single-minded determination. ânope, not happening. iâm ordering us food. youâre no good to me fainting on the job,â he teased, tossing her a grin as he started scrolling through options on doordash.
she watched him, warmth blooming in her chest at the sight of his focused expression as he debated between a few late-night favorites. his finger paused on the screen, and he shot her a look over his shoulder. âwhat are we feeling? i know goodfellaâs is open late.â
she hummed, folding her arms and pretending to think. âtheir pizza sounds good.â
âperfect. what kind?â he asked, giving her that soft, endearing look that always managed to make her heart skip.
âsurprise me,â she said, her eyes crinkling with a smile as he turned back to his phone, murmuring thoughtfully to himself as he made his selections.
once heâd ordered, he slid back beside her, his arm slipping around her shoulders, pulling her close as he planted a quick kiss on her forehead. âalright, aristotle. youâve got about twenty minutes to wrap this up before the pizza gets here.â
she grinned, feeling a rush of renewed energy as she settled back into her laptop, his warmth beside her and the promise of food on the way. and as she typed out her final thoughts, she felt his hand come up to her hair again, his fingers working through her locks in a gentle rhythm as he leaned his chin on her shoulder, watching her with a soft smile.
âthink youâre about to blow the rest of the class outta the water.â he muttered, his voice low and genuine, cutting through the playful teasing of earlier.
she paused, glancing over at him, her cheeks warming under his gaze. âyou think so?â
he nodded, brushing his nose gently against her cheek. âdefinitely. i knew you were brilliant the first time i met you. just, you know, donât forget me when youâre off being some lit professor with a fancy office and your own bookshelf in every bookstore.â
she laughed, shaking her head. âyouâll be playing stadiums by then, styles. i think youâll be just fine.â
once harry met the driver outside of the dorm and made his way back up the stairwell to the second floor of her building, they sat cross-legged on the bed, the pizza box open between them, warm and smelling faintly of melted cheese and marinara. YN took a bite, savoring the comfort of it as they eased into the rhythm of their usual conversations. she told him stories about her classesâabout the professor who insisted everyone call him by his first name and the girl who always argued with the readings in ways that both amused and baffled her. he listened intently, his eyes focused on her like she was the most fascinating person in the world, laughing at all the right moments, nodding as if every small detail mattered. and for harry, it did.
soon enough, the conversation shifted, and he told her stories from his recent gigsâhow the second-to-last venue had practically been held together with duct tape, how heâd overheard some guy loudly claim he could âtotally play guitar better than that dude.â she laughed at the way he imitated the voice, rolling his eyes in good-natured frustration. âseriously,â he groaned, grinning through a bite of pizza, âthe heckling never stops, even when youâre playing to like, fifteen people.â
she nudged him with her knee, a smirk tugging at her lips. âjust you wait, one day those fifteen people are going to turn into fifteen thousand, and that guy will still be standing there with his pint, going on about how he should be the one on stage.â
harryâs face softened, his gaze lingering on her. âyouâre just saying that because youâre in love with me.â
âmaybe,â she said with a wink, brushing a crumb off his cheek.
they fell into their easy banter, and soon enough, poetry came back up. she was telling him about one of the poets she was analyzing, the language they used and the intricate metaphors she was supposed to decipher, when harry raised a brow, an amused look crossing his face. âyouâre talking like i donât write poetry myself, you know.â
âoh, really?â she teased, leaning back with her arms folded, a skeptical look on her face. âletâs hear it, shakespeare.â
with a grin, he pulled out his phone, scrolling through his notes until he stopped on something, looking a bit sheepish but handing it over to her with a small smile. âhere. latest masterpiece.â he joked with a shrug, though he seemed a bit nervous. âstudy it in your lit classes ân all that.â
she took his phone, her heart skipping a beat as she saw the title: adore you. her chest warmed as she started reading through the words. it wasnât like the love poems she read for lectures, full of flowery language and convoluted metaphors. no, this was simple, but sincereâlines that felt raw, real, and vulnerable in a way that only he could make them. each line felt like a glimpse into him, into the parts of himself that he shared only with her, the quiet moments, the late nights, the laughter and gentle touches that only they knew.
when she finished, she looked up at him, unable to hide the wide smile spreading across her face. âharry, this isâyouâre so cute.â she said, her voice soft with genuine awe. âforget those old poets i read about. theyâve got nothing on you.â she squeezed his hand, her thumb brushing over his knuckles as she looked back down at the lyrics, rereading her favorite lines.
a blush crept up his cheeks, and he gave a little shrug, pretending to brush off her praise, but she could see the way his eyes shone, how much her words really meant to him. he nudged her playfully, leaning in with a grin. âyou know itâs about you, yeah?â
she felt her heart flutter, her smile growing even wider as she met his gaze. âis it now?â
âobviously,â he chuckled, shaking his head as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. âi mean, who else am i going to write about? youâre the one i canât stop thinking about. the one who makes every line worth writing.â
she felt warmth bloom in her chest, reaching out to lace her fingers with his. âwell,â she said softly, âthen i think iâm the luckiest girl alive.â
he squeezed her hand, his expression softening as he leaned in, his forehead resting gently against hers. for a moment, they stayed like that, their hands intertwined, the world outside her tiny dorm room slipping away. it was just him, his steady heartbeat under her palm, his soft gaze that held a world of promises, and the quiet knowledge that heâd put it all into words just for her.
âso, poetry and pizza,â he murmured, his lips curving into a contented smile as he leaned back, pulling her into his chest. âdidnât think my night could get any better.â
âoh, really?â she teased, settling against him, her head resting just under his chin. ânot even if i let you watch me struggle through the rest of my essay?â
âthrilling stuff,â he joked, his hand trailing gentle patterns along her arm. âactually, itâs all kind of perfect, YN. you, me, pizza, some poetry⌠maybe the start of a terrible song iâll write when i canât sleep tonight.â
âa song about pizza and poetry?â she asked, raising an eyebrow.
âwhy not?â he grinned, his eyes sparkling. âeveryone needs a little inspiration, hm?â
she laughed, and the sound seemed to brighten the whole room, making everything feel light and carefree. âiâd listen to it.â
âiâll dedicate it to you,â he replied, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of her head, his voice softening. âafter all, youâre my favorite muse.â
they sat like that for a while, the remnants of their pizza scattered around them, the warmth of his arms wrapped around her. she felt her eyes growing heavy, lulled by the steady rise and fall of his chest, the soothing hum of his voice as he mumbled quiet words of nonsense, half-asleep, just for her.
âhey,â she whispered after a while, her voice soft, almost a breath. âthank you for being here. for everything.â
âalways,â he murmured, his voice a low, sleepy rumble. âwouldnât be anywhere else.â

shifted for you
summary: bucky was stuck in a pup form till you came in his life
pairings: shifter!bucky barnes x reader
warnings: fluff, angst, SMUT, nudity, reference to his injury, barely a plot
A/N: this is the fic that is for my over 100 followers. thank you all for loving my work and following me. i am not good at interactions so i apologize i come off as snobby but i do encourage you to leave requests and messages.
Bucky was a shifting White Wolf till Hydra had ruined his shifts and he was stuck in pup form, even after Steve had found him.
The Avengers helped him but he could never shift back to himself and so Tony made Bucky a special communication device so he didn't have to bark every two seconds because everyone wanted to pet his cute ass.
One day he and Steve were ambushed and they got separated and Bucky would have gotten back, only if he knew what part of the city he was lost in and he had also lost his communication device.
You were walking home after a stressful day at work when you heard small whimpers coming from an alley.
You stopped and looked in the alley to see a roughed up pup with two electric blue eyes staring back at you.
âIt's okay, little buddy. I'm not gonna hurt you.â You walk slowly and crouch down to approach the whimpering pup. âLet me help you. I promise I will try to find your owner.â
You were close enough to hold it but you held out your hand instead, wanting the pup to sniff and make sure you really meant him no harm.
He slowly walks over a little sniffs around your hand and he gives you the sweetest look and you give him your brightest smile but he struggled to walk to you so you whipped it up in your hand and pulled him close to your chest.
You brought it to the new vet that had opened near your house. The vet examined the wolf pup and gave him a suspicious look. The vet gave you a few tips and tricks on how to help the pup and gave you some supplies that would last you a few days before you could go shopping for them.
The pup had a metal left front leg that kept his balance. You figured it was from the previous owner. On your walk home, the pup stayed alert and kept on looking around. You found it adorable how smart and alert he was.
When you reached your apartment, you let him down and he cautiously made his way from one to another while you set up his stuff
You bent down to look at his neck. âI don't see any collar on you. How will I know what's your name and who's your owner? Do you have a name, Little Wolf?â
As if he could understand you, he nodded which shocked you. Perhaps this was a very well trained pup. âOk. Well, you can't talk so I will have to find a way for you to spell your name out to me. Can you spell?â
After waiting a beat, the pup nodded again and you nodded back. You looked around to find a way to interact with him. You rummaged around the apartment to find something but couldn't come up with anything.
Meanwhile, you had poured food for the pup in his bowl but he wasn't eating it, giving it a disgusting look. He just drank the water and trotted to sit on the carpet in the living room.
âYou've at least got to eat to keep the strength up. Do you not like the food?â He shook his head in no.
âThen what do you eat? Do you eat human food?â He nodded yes.
âYou are a very weird wolf and your owner must be even weirder for feeding you human food.â
When your pizza arrived, you pulled out a spare plate for the pup to eat in. you turned on Stranger Things and were watching the scene where Willâs mother had written alphabets all over the wall for him to interact with her.
That clicked in your mind and you immediately pulled out a large paper and wrote alphabets on them for the pup to walk and put his paw on them.
âHere, now we can talk. Let's start by you telling me your name, Little Wolf.â
The pup trotted on the paper and put his paw on the alphabets and you wrote them down on your phone to stay up to speed.
B-U-C-K-Y
âBucky? Is that your name?â The pup nodded a bit more enthusiastically.
âWell Bucky, looks like you're stuck with me for a while. At least till I find your owner.â
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ.
It had been almost a month since you had Bucky in your life. The pup hadnât grown at all but you were used to having him around.
You had learnt quite a few things about him.
He loved sweet food, especially pancakes.
He would whine if he didnt see you for more than 15 minutes.
He was very alert and protective of you.
He loved to cuddle against your chest and crook of your neck.
Last but not the least, he has nightmares often but once you rub his head gently and coax him to sleep, he would cuddle into you and go back to sleep.
This is why he has been sharing the bed with you and you thought you were spoiling him but you couldn't see him sleep alone and have nightmares.
You work from home often but you go to the office from time to time to get a change of scenery.
So whenever you're working from home, he would snuggle into your lap.
But every time you left, he would be whimpering and whining the entire day till he hears you walk in.
âHey Bucky! How has your day been? Did you do anything instead of missing me?â You teased the little pup. Bucky humphed and trotted away from you. âAww, don't be like that. I was just teasing.â
You swooped down and held him closer to your chest and kissed his head. âI'm glad I found you, little wolf.
You give me so much comfort and you keep us safe, my fierce wolf.â
That night as you and pup cuddled, Bucky felt something shift in him and he jumped off the bed, trying not to hurt you.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he just automatically shifted back to his 6 foot beefy human form.
Bucky excitedly walked in the bathroom and closed the door gently to not wake you up.
He looked at himself. He hadn't seen himself since Hydra had taken him. His vibranium pup hand had now grown with him, attached to his jagged shoulder.
Bucky must've spent an hour or so in the bathroom looking at himself. He slowly creeped out of the bathroom and stood right above you.
This was his chance to touch your face with his human form.
He's always wanted to feel how your skin would feel against his.
He caressed your face gently and it sent shivers down his spine.
Your skin was so fucking soft.
He wanted to bury his face in your neck and hold you close to him, make you feel the real him.
He had started developing a tiny (yeah right) crush on you.
You cared for him, cuddled him and shared everything with him.
He would find all kinds of ways to cuddle on your chest.
Your heartbeats always calmed him and your smell, damn, it was all he could think about.
And when you patted his head and caressed him and pulled him closer whenever he had nightmares, all he wanted to do was mark you up.
He leaned down and kissed your cheek.
He knew he would have to find a way to tell you about his shift.
But he didn't want to leave you either.
So he thought of risking it.
He tried shifting back and he did but this time he was a huge wolf and not a pup.
Then he thought maybe he should try shifting back to human form, see if it was still working and it did.
Bucky was, somehow, back to normal.
He turned back to his wolf form and climbed back in bed, placing his snout in the crook of your neck. He went back to a calming sleep.
When you woke up the next morning, you felt a wetness against your neck and heaviness on your body.
You shuffled to see that little pup and suddenly grew into a huge wolf that had taken over most of your body and bed.
His metal forearm was snuggly wrapped around your waist.
You slowly got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready.
When you got out, you saw the wolf sitting by the bathroom door with, what looked like, an abandoned face.
He whined as soon as he saw you.
You bent down and laughed, scratching his head. âOh little wolf, I would never go anywhere without telling you, you know that, right? And look at you! All⌠grown up in a night? Must be a miracle that have happened. But no worries, it's okay. You look more comfortable now than when you were a pup.â
Bucky rubbed his head against your hand.
His ears touched a fluffy thing and he turned to see that you were in nothing but a towel.
His primal instincts were trying to take over but all he did was let out a quiet growl to calm himself.
In his pup form, you would busy him with some task and change and he didn't really mind that but now he was back, all Bucky, and the attraction towards you was hard to deny.
You threw him a toy and thought he was distracted but his blue eyes were following your every move.
You had completely removed your towel and were moisturizing yourself.
The dips and curves of your body were being taken in by a certain blue eyed wild wolf. Your erect nipples and your glistened pussy was calling out to him but he held off.
Once you were done with moisturizing, you wore your traditional home pjs, shorts and tattered crop top.
You had decided to forego your bra and were just in your underwear.
Bucky was not someone who was good at holding off for this long so he turned and walked to the large alphabet paper to talk to you.
He had to let you know that you were living with a man, a shifter and not a pet.
You saw him walk to the paper so you brought out your own tiny pad to help you form sentences so you wouldn't get lost.
âI am not a wolf.â
You snorted at it but nodded your head to let him continue.
âI am a man.â
You got quieter because you had heard of shifters who were endangered and were mostly under hiding.
âI'm the Winter Soldier.â
You gasped.
âI don't mean you any harm but if you let me change i will explain.â
You nodded slowly and he shifted in front of you.
He was a god.
He was a completely naked beefy god on whom you want to jump but can't because of lots many reasons.
âI'm Bucky.â
Why the fuck is his voice so fantastic?
You could feel his voice vibrating through your wet pussy.
His cock is was right in front of your face and so close to grasp.
He was big and veiny.
You grabbed your bottle and drank entirely to quench your dry throat.
You got up suddenly, startling him and grabbed an old pair of menâs sweatpants and handed it to him with your cheeks burning red.
Even the sweatpants werent hiding his beauty.
He sat at the edge of your bed and patted next to him for you to sit down.
âI was lost when you found me. I stayed a pup because of my past but I was able to shift yesterday.â
He looked at you so innocently.
His blue eyes dripped with innocence and all you wanted to do was steal it but you held yourself off.
âI swear I would've told you the truth but it really takes a lot of effort for me to tap every letter and i didnt know if I could trust you after what I have been through.â
You pull him in a hug to comfort him.
His face is buried in the crook of your neck and your bodies are pressed together.
Your taut nipples were pressed tightly against his bare chest.
You felt him tighten his hold on you and he rubbed his nose against the crook, lazily kissing your sensitive spot.
â...BuckyâŚâ
He lifted his head and brought his nose closer to yours and bumped it as if asking for permission.
You leaned forward and put your lips on his.
His primal instincts spurred and the kiss became more demanding.
âTell me to stop, doll.â
âYou're in charge, Bucky. Take what you want.â
He threw you in the middle of the bed and climbed on top of you, his lips not leaving your body.
He tore through your shorts, t-shirt and underwear, leaving you naked and writhing under him while his lips and teeth marked your body as his.
You moaned and mewled as he ate you out.
Your hand held his hair tightly, making him groan on your pussy, sending vibrations straight to your core.
âGod, baby, you're so perfect.â
He loved eating you out so much and he kept at it till he made you cum three times, leaving you glassy eyed and panting.
Your naked bodies, pressed against each other, made the entire scene look like a painting.
âAre you sure?â
âMake me yours, Bucky.â
Bucky rubs his cock against your folds and your back arches, giving him the sweet sounds he's been listening to all day.
He slides his cock in and takes his sweet time, making you feel things your body had never felt before.
His lips move all over your body just like yours do to his.
He speeds up his thrusting and you moan out his name, making him go feral.
âYes Bucky please.â
âSo sweet, doll.â âSo tight for me.â ânot gonna last long, baby.â
His thrusts become irregular and you rub your fingers against your clit to match him.
You both cum together as he spills in you.
âCan I stay in you for a little longer?â
âStay as long as you want, Bucky.â
âI want you.â
âYou have me.â
âNo no, not just like this. I want to be bound to you.â
âAnd how can you do that?â
âI mark you, bite you, bind you to me for life.â
âDo it, Bucky. I'm all yours to be bound.â

Hiya I just started following you blog and love all of your works so I was wondering if I could request something. (This can be sfw or nsfw its completely up to you)
Sevika with a s/o who's quite girly and enjoys wearing dresses and skirts. (Basically the opposite of sevika). I think it sevika would be so cute with an opposites attract kinda s/o, and no one understands how they got together or even because they are so vastly different from one another but get along just fine.
(Obviously absolutely no pressure to write this and I hope your doing well)
Byeđ
<3
Stop this is so adorable đĽş
Sevika With a Girly S/O
âź Sevikaâs intrigued honestly.
⟠Everyone knows that this woman right here is indeed intimidating. Well⌠not until she laid eyes on you.
âź The first time you entered The Last Drop with that cute little skirt of yours, Sevika knew you were the one.
⟠You were just so⌠cute.
âź And the way you looked over at her and smiledâ
âź She wonât admit it but she felt her heart melts
âź Honestly no one expected it.
âź You? The woman Sevika was in love with?
âź Yep. Thatâs fucking right. And you should be proud to call this beautiful woman your girlfriend.
âź Oh Sevika loves watching you try on your dresses. Itâs like having a personal fashion show.
âź âSpin around for me, Sweetheart. Thatâs rightâŚFuck youâre so beautiful.â
âź Sheâll pat her lap (your favorite seat) the moment she lays eyes on her favorite dress. She just loves to admire you up close.
âź She likes feeling the soft fabric that was hugging your body perfectly. It was like every dress was made just for you.
âź And because of your love for wearing dresses, she came up with a nickname just for you â and it was âPrincessâ
âź Every time the two of you went out, Sevika made sure to keep an eye on you.
âź And whenever anyone stops to look at you, sheâll immediately wrap an arm around your waist, pulling you into a kiss.
âź Sevika was proud to have you all to herself â and she will make everyone aware of it.
âź But it was as if her gaze always soften whenever she looks at you.
âź Sheâll have this poker face throughout the day, but the moment you appear in front of her, she couldnât help but smile.
âź Sevika never understood how and why you were attracted to her in the first place.
âź You were like a beautiful doll. A treasure that needs to be taken good care of. That was why Sevika was so gentle with you.
âź She never used her mechanical arm on you just because she was scared to hurt or even scratch you. So whenever the two of you walked side by side, Sevika made sure you were on the side where her real arm was.
âź âNew dress? Itâs perfect for you, Sweetheart. Do I like it? Oh I love it. Youâre so beautiful, Princess.â
âź âIâm so glad that youâre all mine.â

I have admired the work of the amazing @anotherwellkeptsecret for YEARS, following her originally from the height of my Sherlock obsession all the way until now where she has (to my delight!) crossed over into Good Omens as well.
She also just had a baby!!!! So partly as a congratulations, partly as a thank you for being such an artistic inspiration, and partly so I could practice my own digital art techniques and play with Procreate for the first time, I asked if she would allow me the privilege of coloring some of her favorite pages from her comics while she's on maternity leave. And she said yes!
But she asked me to pick my favorites instead. So I took her at her word and chose one favorite page from each of the ten comics I have saved and loved over the years.
Exactly two weeks later (and in no particular order) here is the final result!! I am so grateful to Kelley for letting me do this, and I have discovered so much about my own style and what I like (excessive lights, apparently lol). I hope you guys like them as much as I do, and please please please go support Kelley's tumblr and Patreon, she absolutely deserves the world. đ

I've said goodbye to half of my greenhouse goldfish! And the other half will follow later. I started out with goldfish when my aquaponics system was new as they are quite resilient to variations in pH, etc, but I decided it was time to move on to edible fish (carp.) I feel like carp have a bad reputation (as food) but my mum used to fish & cook them when I was little and I liked themâI'll have to ask her to teach me how she prepared them...
To thank my goldfish for their good work fertilising my greenhouse plants, I wanted to find a nice place for them to retire. Here's their new home :)
One of my distant neighbours has this artificial pond where he used to have goldfish but their population got decimated by a gluttonous otter. I hope *my* fish will be smart and agile enough to escape her, and if not, well... the otter's family has to eat...
The process of finding a new home for my fish went as follows: 1. Find an old lady, for example Mrs L. at the library, who likes to talk about people's lives and minor problems 2. Tell her in passing that I have goldfish I'd like to donate 3. Wait a few days, then go buy groceries.
The cashier told me "Oh hey, Mrs L. told me to tell you she knows someone who knows someone who wants your fish. She gave me a piece of paper with his phone number"
4. Success.
I called this person, and it turned out to be the farmer I often buy hay from, who told me all about his problematic otter and said he'd like to repopulate his pond. I offered to bring him my fish, and then proceeded to procrastinate for several weeks. I realised this week that I was going to see this neighbour again soon (when he comes to deliver my hay) and it would be embarrassing if I still hadn't made good on my promise to deliver fish, so I finally set to work catching 15 goldfish.
It took so long. I think the reason I procrastinated is because my subconscious knew catching them would be a pain. They are so quick and nimble! And unlike otters I am not designed for this. There was one barracuda of a goldfish that I particularly wanted to catch, but she was too smart for me. She feinted and hid behind the filter and sacrificed fellow goldfish by pushing them into my net instead of her, it was very dramatic and eventually I had to give up on catching her.
(I even tried to use a large piece of chicken netting on top of my fish net, but of course it was very light and floated at the surface. I considered tying little rocks to it so it'd sink, and then realised I had single-handedly (re)invented bottom trawling. But I don't want to be a bottom trawler, it sounds like an insult. I'll have to try and catch my monster goldfish some other time when she least expects it.)
On my way to my neighbour's farm, I ran into a cow roadblock. Normally I would have pushed the cows aside, removed the rope across the road then put it back behind me after crossing the cowblockâbut the cow in charge looked grouchy to me.
I made a dĂŠtour.
Then, because the universe really didn't want me to deliver my goldfish, I ran into a goose patrol when I reached my neighbour's farm. I now know how Odysseus felt when Poseidon kept throwing sea monsters and other obstacles at him to prevent him from reaching his destination.
I dispatched Pandolf to parley with them and he looked very unenthused by his mission.
Fortunately, the geese were in a good mood and politely escorted us to the pond.
Goodbye, friends! Remember, there's a snake in this Eden. An adorable, web-footed, fish-eating snake.
Most of the fish dispersed quickly, but I thought it was so cute how these two leisurely swam away together...
And so I went and bought new fish for my greenhouse tanks. I'm going to miss the goldfish! They're cheerful to look at and I liked sitting by the tank and watching them go about their day. My new fish are better camouflaged and will be harder to observe. But it was fun watching their first introduction to goldfish society :)

Tyler Owens x Reader: Read Between the Lines
Request: anonymous said: "I was wondering maybeeee if you could write some protective bf Tyler ( because i would be swooning ) maybe either someone keeps hitting on her so he steps in or someone maybe in another storm chasing crew is being mean so he steps in and defends her <3 idk"
Word count: 3.9k
Warnings: language, mild fighting i guess?? slight angst
A/N: sorry I haven't been posting as frequently! I started work up again and ya girl has been BUSY. Anyyywayyy, thank you for reading! please keep the comments coming! I love to see all your requests and I promise i'm getting to them as quickly as i can :)
âNeed anything?â Tyler asked, leaning against the hood of the truck in a way that shouldnât be as adorable as it is.Â
âIâm good,â you said, offering him a gentle smile before brushing a few loose strands of hair from your sticky forehead.Â
âYou wanna come in with me then?âÂ
You shook your headâ the idea of sitting in a stale diner with no AC was just about as unbearable as the thought of driving another second. âNo, I think Iâll stretch my legs out here.â
âOkay,â he said in a tone that indicated youâd be missing out. He gave the truck a pat before adding, âWe wonât be long.â
âTake your time,â you assured him.Â
He offered one final nod before turning and following Dani, Boone, and Lily across the parking lot. Dexter also stayed behind. Instead of shitty diner food, heâs opted to take a nap inside the RV accompanied by his noise canceling headphones and a fan blasting right at his face.Â
You were exhausted, down to your bones. You and the rest of the team had driven nearly six hours that day tracking a cell that hadnât ended up amounting to anything. You were stiff and tired and irritableâ just like everyone else. But you hoped that some time alone outside might help at least level out your mood.
You extended your arms over your head, groaning when you felt something lightly pop in your back, before craning your neck from side to side. The air was stiflingâ thick and humid with little to no breeze for any sort of relief. The heat hadnât broken in nearly a week, and unfortunately for just about everyone, the truckâs AC didnât work as well as it used to.Â
The parking lot to the diner was relatively empty. Aside from the crewâs RV and truck, there was an SUV parked in one of the front spots and a small sports car with a steady cloud of smoke pouring out the cracked window. Â
You let your eyes wander past the diner parking lot at the sprawling field across the road. The windmills were agonizingly still in the stale airâ like even they were desperate for some reprieve.Â
Your eyes fell shut as you took a few deep breaths, trying to get your bearings.Â
Your peace lasted for about thirty seconds. And then the sound of blaring music and screeching tires had you turning your pulsing head. Instantly, you rolled your eyes at the sight of the familiar vans pulling into the lot beside you.Â
Merrill Anderson and his crew started chasing in the area almost thirteen months ago. You knew because each and every moment that youâd known about their existence had been more painful than the last.Â
Anderson was a meteorologist out of Texas that wore a cowboy hat almost as big as his mouth and an inflated ego to match it. He made sure you and everyone else around him knew that he had a PhD, and therefore, in his opinion, was automatically more entitled to chase. Him and Tyler had hated each other from the moment they met while chasing an EF2 in Arkansasâ their feud only grew each time their paths crossed.Â
Anderson was grinning at you through the window as soon as his van rolled by. You did your best to avert your gazeâ hoping that lack of eye contact would avoid any sort of conversation.Â
Unfortunately, you werenât so lucky.Â
âThere she is,â he announced, boots scuffing against the dirt parking lot as he hopped out from the driverâs seat.Â
âNow what're you doinâ out here all by yourself? Your team finally leave you behind? Realized they didnât need two uni drop outs on their team?â he asked, tone already dripping in sarcasm.Â
He was an antagonizer who got off on provoking others. And although you and Anderson had your fair share of unpleasant exchanges, you knew he only ever bothered you to get under Tylerâs skin.Â
Tylerâs biggest weakness was that he was endlessly protective of the people he loved. You saw this particular trait as a strengthâ but you knew that Anderson fed off Tyler's anger, which you could only imagine was his intention now. Thankfully Tyler was in the dinerâ hopefully gorging on raspberry pancakes as you spoke. Because if he were to see Anderson talking to youâ you knew this whole interaction would escalate quickly.Â
âAnderson,â you sighed, leaning casually against the hood of Tylerâs truck. The smile you forced on your face was almost painful. âSo lovely to see you, as always.â
You hoped if you withheld from his taunting, he might move on quicker.Â
Instead, to your despair, he backtracked from his van to stand across from you. âYou guys go ahead,â he instructed his crew. âIâm gonna spend some time with my friend here.â
They nodded before heading towards the diner, leaving the two of you alone.Â
âYou should teach that hillbilly- boyfriend of yours some manners. If I remember correctly, last time I saw him, he drove through a puddle to splash me.â
You bit back a grin as you recalled the moment he was referring to. âIâm sure it wasnât on purpose,â you lied (it was absolutely on purpose).Â
Anderson chuckled. âYou knowâ I donât know if weâve ever had a conversation just us, without him lingering around. Youâre much more pleasant. Both in conversation and in looks.âÂ
You felt a chill run down the length of your spine at his wordsâ but the way he was looking at you was infinitely worse. You watched as his eyes flickered from your face to your chestâ currently more exposed than you would like in the tanktop you wore in the stifling Oklahoma heat. You wished you had grabbed a shirt to cover up inâ but they were all either dirty and packed away somewhere in your duffel.Â
Clearing your throat, you stood up straight and crossed your arms, attempting to shield yourself from his lingering gaze.Â
âOh, hey now darlinâ, donât cover up. Iâve been stuck in the van all day with these jokers, this is the most action Iâve gotten all summer.âÂ
You could feel the blood rushing to your cheeks as you tried desperately to remain level headed. Anderson was a jerkâ and heâd definitely make you uncomfortable⌠but you couldnât imagine that heâd ever actually do anything to harm you. Â
Then again, youâd never interacted with him for longer than a minute or two with Tyler and the rest of the crew at your side. This was uncharted territory that you didnât care to explore. You felt your earlier determination to handle him on your own fade away with uneasiness. Â
You turned your head towards the diner, hoping you might catch Tylerâs gaze through the window or something. Of course you were too far away for thatâ all you caught was the glare from the sun.Â
âYou know Iâm not used to seeing you in clothes like this, usually youâre all covered up,â Anderson whistled.Â
As soon as he took a step closer, you instinctively moved too. Except your legs collided with Tylerâs truckâ preventing you from actually going anywhere. For some dumb reason, you felt obligated to hold your groundâ to not let him see how uncomfortable he was really making you. But with each passing comment, you grew more and more fearful.Â
Anderson now had his body angled towards you with a look that could only be described as predatorial. âGod, itâs true you donât know what youâre missinâ til you see it. We should have these heat waves more often if it means I get to take a look at this every day.â
You tried and failed to remain stoic. You wanted to yellâ to tell him to shut the fuck up. But for some reason, your body and brain werenât connecting.Â
âCâmon, where is she?â he taunted. âYou know, your sweet side has its perks. But I much prefer âem a little spicy.âÂ
He took another few steps closer to you. It was subtle, but you noticed. Anderson was so obviously getting a kick out of whatever the hell he was doing here, and you were doing a piss-poor job at withholding from it, like youâd originally planned.Â
âWhy donât you come on back in my van with me,â he winked. âIâm not sure how your hillbilly does it, but I can show ya a real good time.âÂ
Get away from me, you wanted to scream. But your mouth wouldnât moveâ your voice was lost somewhere inside of you. And all you could get your body to do was lean away from him slightly.Â
âDonât be like that, darlinâ,â he cooed. He was so close that you could almost smell his breath. Your brain told you to fightâ to shove or kick or do something to get him away from you. But all those previous instincts you had to fight back faded into paralyzing fear.Â
Anderson reached across the space between you to move a loose strand of hair from your face as you began to tremble. âAnd donât be afraid, baby doll. I donât bite⌠too hard. Owens ainât gotta knowââ
âAnderson!âÂ
Your head snapped at the sound of a familiar voice⌠Not just any familiar voiceâ Tylerâs voice. He was currently storming across the parking lot with a look of pure hatred across his face. The second his eyes landed on youâ undoubtedly and obviously terrified, that anger only intensified.Â
âGet the fuck away from her,â he demanded. His eyes were narrowed and shockingly darker than their normal shade of sage.Â
âHere he is!â Anderson taunted. âHer douche bag in shining armor.â
You couldnât help but notice Anderson didnât step away. In fact, if anything, he looked like he was about to step closer, just to really test his limits. But then, to your relief, you saw Boone, Dani, and Lily storming out of the diner in Tylerâs wakeâ all coming to your rescue.Â
In an instant, Tyler was there, stepping between you and Andersonâ forming the protective barrier you needed to finally feel safe again. Without thinking, you fisted the back of Tylerâs T-shirt for good measure.Â
âEasy, Rambo,â Anderson sneered. âI was just tellinâ your sweetheart here how much I enjoy her new look. Who knew she had all this hidinâ under those baggy shirts? That the reason you keep her hanginâ around, Owens? I knew she had to be good for somethingââ
But Anderson didnât get a chance to finish his sentence. Because before you knew what was happening, Tyler was lunging forward and connecting his fist with Andersonâs nose.Â
The crack as it broke was deafening, you released Tylerâs shirt to cover your mouth in shock. Tyler hit him with enough force that he went staggering back a few steps, his hands instantly moving to cup his face.Â
Tyler was still shaking off his hand when Anderson stood up straight, blood pouring out of both nostrils.Â
âDamn, that bitch must be as good as she looks if sheâs worth all this,â Anderson continued to taunt. Even with a broken nose, he didnât back down. Â
Without even hesitating, Tyler moved to strike again. But as soon as he did, Boone and Dani were both stepping in front of him to break things up.Â
âEasy, Tââ Boone said.Â
âStay the fuck away from her,â Tyler snarled in warning, pointing his finger over Booneâs shoulder. Youâd never quite heard his voice so malicious or threatening before, and even though it was in your defense, it sent shivers down your spine.  Â
Suddenly, Lily grabbed your hand from the side, causing you to flinch. âItâs okay,â she said, tugging you a few steps away from the chaosâ like she knew how badly you needed space from everything. âYou alright?â
You nodded, flustered. Â
âNext time you want to settle this without your little army of strays, you let me know, Owens. And next time you want a good time, Y/N, you know where to find me,â Anderson said, offering you a wink that churned your stomach. With that, he wiped some blood from his nose and began sauntering back towards his van.Â
âIâm gonna fucking kill him,â Tyler snarled, still being physically held back by Dani and Boone.Â
âYeah, and heâd deserve it. But heâs not worth catchinâ a charge,â Boone said. âItâs been a slow season and we donât got the kind of money to bail you out of jail.â
âTake a breath, T,â Dani said. âHeâs walkinâ away. Take a breath.â
You watched Tyler slowly come back to his body. He listened to Dani and took a deep breathâ his shoulders visibly relaxing when he exhaled. It seemed to be enough for his friends to finally release him.Â
As soon as he was free from their grasp, Tyler turned aroundâ his attention landing on you. âAre you okay?â he asked, his previously menacing voice now laced with so much care and concern. He stood in front of youâ his body blocking all views of Anderson and their vans. His hands moved to cup your cheeks gently.Â
âIâm fine,â you said, attempting to convince yourself more than anyone else. But even you knew it didnât sound convincing. Your voice subtly cracked on the final word.Â
Tyler stroked his thumb along your skin. The look on his face told you he didnât quite believe you as his eyes flickered down to your trembling hands. Thankfully he didnât ask more.Â
âI gotta say that was a nasty right hook, T,â Boone said, clapping Tyler on the back as he approached. âI didnât know you had it in ya.â
âWhatâd that asshat say to you?â Lily asked. âYou looked really shaken up when we saw you out the diner window.â
âNothing,â you mumbled, too embarrassed to repeat his taunts. You were shocked by how self-conscious you suddenly felt with everyoneâs eyes on you. Andersonâs previous words had made you incredibly aware of every inch of yourselfâ like there was an electrical current humming underneath the surface of your skin.Â
âJust the usual shit,â you tried to brush it off. Â
You felt grateful when they didnât push.Â
Eventually, the crew disassembledâ everyone focused on getting their stuff together to hit the road again. Anderson didnât reemerge from his van, but as you sat idly in the passenger seat of Tylerâs truck, you didnât take your eyes off from where it was parkedâ like you were anticipating some sort of retaliation.Â
You remained hidden from the teamâ feeling so awkward and uncomfortableâ like you didnât want to be perceived or noticed by anyone. And you hated that Andersonâs words were the ones to make you feel that way. You couldnât find any shirts in your duffel bag that werenât disgusting. And currently you didnât have the time or patience to dig through your second bag in the RV. So instead, you wrapped your arms awkwardly over your chest, trying to make yourself as small as possible just as Tyler climbed into the front seat.Â
âEveryone else is riding in the RV, itâs just us,â he said, eyes lingering on you.Â
âOkay,â you said, trying your best to sound casual. You wondered if he ordered everyone in the RV so that youâd feel more comfortable. You made a mental note to thank him for that later, he was always so good at reading between the lines. Â
Tyler instantly noticed your uneasiness. âBaby, whatâd he say to you?âÂ
You shrugged, refusing to meet his gaze out of sheer embarrassment. âI mean, I think you caught the gist of it at the end there⌠Just a lot of that.â
You heard his loud exhale. âJust say the word and Iâll barge into that stupid van and kill him right now.â
The corner of your lip tugged into a small smile. âI just want you to stay here,â you admitted.Â
He nodded solemnly. Without another word, Tyler passed you something he had scrunched up in his fist. It was one of his T-shirtsâ like he knew you wanted to cover up without even having to say it. You took the shirtâ the thanks you wanted to offer him remained stuck in your throat, but Tyler didnât seem to mind.Â
Instead, he pretended to fiddle with the radio while you silently slipped the shirt on. Almost instantly, you felt like you could relax underneath the fabric of his clothes.Â
You curled your arms around yourself and tucked your knees to your chest. When Tyler asked if you were ready to head out, you nodded without another word.Â
âŚ
It was only seven when you arrived at the motel. Tyler went into the lobby to book the rooms while everyone else hung back. Boone and Lily were going on and on about using the pool later that night, but once youâd grabbed your bags from the truck, you sort of tuned it all out.Â
Tyler found you sitting on the curb once heâd passed out everyone elseâs room keys. He picked up your duffel from the ground before speaking for the first time in almost an hour.Â
âYou ready for bed?â
You nodded, offering him your best attempt at a convincing smile. Â
âCâmon,â he motioned his head to the left. âWeâre upstairs.â
Tyler led the way to your roomâ and even though this was a dingy motel, youâd never seen anything more perfect. The shades were dark, the AC worked, and there was a single, plush-looking queen bed in the middle of the room just screaming your name.Â
Tyler let you shower first. And when you emerged from the bathroom, all the sweat and grime finally washed from your skin, he was gone. But in his place, heâd laid out one of his T-shirts and a pair of his boxers on the bed for you to use. You almost teared up at the sight of just how thoughtful he was⌠Still reading between the lines.Â
Youâd spent the entire duration of your shower trying to convince yourself that what had happened earlier wasnât that big of a deal. Anderson was a jerkâ of course he was going to say some jerk-ish things. It shouldnât have been a surpriseâ and yet, you couldnât shake the discomfort you felt. It was like all the words heâd said to you had nestled underneath your skin and made a home for themselves.Â
In an attempt to shake the thoughts away, you quickly shrugged on Tylerâs clothes before sitting on the edge of the bed and wrapping your arms around yourself.Â
Almost as soon as you sat down, you heard the front door to the motel open up. Tyler stepped into the room carrying his own bag and a couple of water bottles he mustâve grabbed for the two of you.Â
âBetter?â he asked, handing you one.Â
You nodded and cracked it open. âMuch.â
Tyler sighed before joining you on the edge of the bed. âBaby, are you sure youâre okay?âÂ
âI-â you started and then stopped. Your hands were shaking, but you jumped when you felt Tylerâs hand close around yours, steadying them. His touch gave you just an ounce of courage to speak.Â
âIt wasnât even anything that badââ you admitted. âI meant it earlier, you heard the worst of it⌠I just, I don't know, I can't explain it. But everything he said made me feel so gross⌠and dirty, andâŚâ And, well, you didnât quite know what else. Words were hard to come by tonight.Â
âOh, baby,â Tyler exhaled. He released your hand to wind his arm around your shoulders, tugging you to his chest instead. Â
It wasnât until he shushed you that you even realized you were crying, but it came out in a rush. You clung to him, instantly impressed by his ability to just make you feel so much safer.Â
âIâm sorry,â you said.Â
âYou donât have to be sorry,â he assured you, only squeezing tighter.Â
âI donât know why this bothered me so muchââÂ
âBecause Anderson is an asshole and he intentionally said some gross shit to shake you up,â he answered for you. âYouâre allowed to be upset by that.âÂ
You exhaled against his shirt, and when you licked your lips, you tasted salt.Â
âIâm the sorry one,â he said.Â
âWhat?â you shook your head. âYou donât have to be sorryââ
âI should have been there.â
âYou were there,â you reminded him. âUnless I blacked out or something and I was really the one who punched him in the noseâŚâ
Tyler chuckled softly, you felt the vibration against your chestâ instantly soothing you.Â
You sighed after a moment, trying to decide if you wanted to share what was really bothering you. You bit the inside of your cheek. It was so tempting to keep it to yourself, but more tempting than that was the idea of finally feeling a little more at ease again after just telling Tyler the truth.Â
âI justââ you paused again. âIââÂ
âHey,â he said. You looked up at him briefly. âItâs just me.âÂ
That was the problemâ it was Tyler. And you didnât want Tyler thinking less of you because of what had happened.Â
âI didnât fight back,â you said quietly. âI just froze upâ it was like I couldnât even think straight. And he kept going and going, and I just stood thereâ taking it.â
Tyler ran his hand up and down your arm reassuringly. âWhat are you talking about?â
âIt just felt likeâŚâ your voice tapered off.Â
Tyler waited a moment before asking gently, âLike what?âÂ
âIt just felt like I didnât do anything to stop it,â you whispered so quietly you werenât even sure heâd heard you. âLike I let it happen.â
âBaby,â Tyler sighed. âBaby, no. Anderson is such a jackass, it wouldnât have mattered what you saidââ
âBut I could have told him to get the fuck away from meââ
âYou were just trying to keep yourself safe. Baby, we canât control how we react when weâre scared. Itâs fight or flightââ
âOr freeze,â you mumbled, embarrassed.Â
âOr freeze. Iâm pretty sure fawning is one too, now,â he said. âBut it doesnât matterâ what matters is you canât control that you froze. Just likeââ
âJust like you couldnât control punching him in the face?â you asked.Â
You glanced up just in time to see Tylerâs lips tug into a smile. âExactly,â he said.Â
âI just wish my fear reaction was a little more effective,â you pouted. âFreezing didnât do much.â
You let your eyes fall shut when Tyler tugged you closed to his chest. âI guess itâs a good thing you have a douchebag in shining armor to come help whenever you need it,â he smirked.Â
âThanks for protecting me,â you said quietly.Â
âIâll always protect you, you know that,â he said, planting a soft kiss on the top of your head.Â
You smiled against his chest. You really did know that. âAnd thanks for punching him in the nose.â
Tyler snorted. âAndersonâs had that coming for a long time.â

KAMPFyre: Part 2 - Convinced
âAre you serious?â
âYeah, I donât see the issue. I feel like it actually worked.â
âOh my God!â Karina shouted, her voice brimming with exasperation. âHow do you not realize that this guy basically just convinced you to give him a blowjob?â
âHe seemed really kind, though,â Winter pleaded, starting to get embarrassed. âHe did it to help me.â
âHelp you? You realize it makes no sense, right? Letting a guy cum down your throat isnât going to help your vocals.â
âHe said it did, and I believe him,â Winter muttered quietly, looking down at her feet.
âYeah?â Karina scoffed, crossing her arms. âDid he also say youâd dance better if he fucked you?â
âNo! He never tried to force anything like that!â Winter argued back. âIâm not stupid.â
âSo it was just a blowjob? Thatâs a relief at least,â Karina sighed, letting her arms fall to the side. âAt least you didnât do anything really stupid.â
âY-Yeah, just a blowjob,â Winter lied, avoiding eye contact with her bandmate. âPlease donât tell anyone else.â
âCome here,â Karina said while pulling Winter into a hug. âI wonât tell anyone. In the future, be more careful, okay?â
âIâm sorry,â Winter whispered.
âItâs fine, no one else will find out,â Karina reassured her while patting her back. âItâs in his best interest to keep this a secret, not that anyone would believe him even if he did speak up.â
âIâm really dumb, arenât I?â Winter asked while standing up, pouting at Karina.
âNo, youâre not really dumb,â Karina sighed. âItâs fine, you learned a lesson, that doesnât make you dumb.â
Winter nodded, feeling a bit better about the whole ordeal.
âSo, howâd it taste?â Karina asked casually.
âWhat? Iâm not answering that!â Winter replied angrily.
âCome on, whatâs done is done,â Karina chuckled. âWe might as well talk about it now, it was your first blowjob, right?â
âYeah, my first.â
âSo how was it? Itâs honestly kinda exciting,â Karina pushed. âI still remember mine.â
âYou go first,â Winter said, her face getting warm.
âWell, he didnât last very long at all,â Karina said, thinking back. âHe wouldnât stop apologizing for finishing in my mouth so quickly.â
âDid you like the taste?â Winter asked, her curiosity taking over.
âI loved it,â Karina gushed. âI let him play with my tits for like two minutes, and then as soon as my lips hit his cock he filled my mouth. He barely lasted thirty seconds.â
âWow,â Winter sighed. âMine took⌠a bit more effort.â
Karina cocked an eyebrow. âDonât feel bad, every guy is different,â she added. âYou got there eventually, not every girl can do that.â
âYeahâŚâ Winter exhaled. âI donât think it tasted bad, but it felt so weird.â
âYouâre just not used to it,â Karina laughed. âSince apparently you love giving random dudes blowjobs now, maybe youâll find someone whose taste you like.â
âHey! I donât,â Winter whined while angrily walking away.
âWhere are you going, I was kidding!â Karina shouted after her.
âGoing for a walk,â Winter mumbled before leaving the room.
Karina sat there with her eyes squinted at the door, suspicious of what Winter was getting up to, debating internally whether or not she should follow after her.
âI canât believe that happened,â Karina whispered softly while returning her attention to her phone.
â
âI canât believe that happened,â you muttered to yourself, still in absolute shock as you sat on the couch, scrolling your phone to find out more about Aespa. Apparently they were quite popular, which made sense seeing as how they were closing. Winter also had a bandmate who caught your eye, Karina - she was stunning.
Suddenly, there was a very aggressive knock on the door. You got up, quickly running your hand through your hair and fixing your clothes to look presentable. As soon as you opened it, you were pushed back into the room.
âDid you lie?â Winter demanded, glaring at you.
âLie about what?â
âYou know what Iâm talking about,â she hissed, her angry expression being unintentionally adorable. âThe load thing, was it all made up?â
âWinter, you agreed to do it,â you argued, trying to calm her down. âIt was my first time hearing about the⌠technique⌠but I think it actually did work.â
Her expression suddenly softened a bit.
âDo you mean that?â
âYeah, I do,â you lied while grabbing her hand. âWhat got into you? Just a bit ago you were so excited and happy about it.â
âI told one of my friends,â Winter sighed, slouching her shoulders. âShe basically called me an idiot.â
âYouâre not an idiot,â you said kindly, pushing her hair back over her ear. âIâm sorry if you feel like I tricked you, that wasnât my intention.â
âI told her that!â Winter said, her spirits lifting. âI really donât think you did either. Iâm sorry for this, I think Iâm just super nervous about tonight.â
âHey donât worry about it, I completely understand.â
After a bit of an awkward pause where the two of you simply stood there holding hands, Winter spoke up again.
âDid you really like my voice more afterwards?â
âI did,â you answered, despite not noticing any difference. âI donât know how I can make you believe it.â
âYou donât have to, I believe you already,â she smiled warmly at you. âI just knew I could trust you.â
âUh, yeah,â you were starting to feel guilty. This girl was unbelievably naive and it was starting to weigh on you.
âCould I ask another favor of you?â Winter asked, stepping closer to you.
âYeah, of course.â
âDo you think I could try again?â
This had to be a joke - you were almost convinced there were hidden cameras watching you now.
âWhat do you mean âtry againâ?â you clarified, reluctant to jump to any conclusions.
âWell, my friend told me she could make a guy cum just by touching her lips to his cock, I want to learn how,â Winter explained as she dropped down to her knees in front of you. âCould you please guide me?â
âI donât know if this is right,â you hesitated as Winter began unbuckling your pants.
âWhy not? You were happy to help me earlier without thinking twice about it,â Winter argued. âWhat will it take to get more help?â
âItâs not like that, I want to help,â you answered. âBut if we got caught, or if you told anyone again, Iâd get in so much trouble.â
âPlease,â Winter begged. âI promise I wonât tell anyone.â
âAs much as I want to believe it, you did just tell me that you told your friend.â
âIâm sorry, she wonât tell anyone else, please!â Winter begged, she almost looked like she was about to cry.
âOkay okay, itâs fine,â you calmed her down, if she was this desperate to suck your cock then who were you to say no. âAlright, go lock the door and then take off your clothes,â you instructed her.
Unable to believe this was about to happen, you walked over to the couch and sat down. Winter quickly ran over to you and wasted no time in stripping down to her underwear.
âDo you want me to take it all off?â she asked eagerly as she unbuckled her bra, tossing it to the side.
âYeah, itâll be better that way.â
She nodded and dropped her panties down, picking them off up off the floor and placing them on top of the pile of her clothes.
âHere,â you tossed a pillow onto the floor between your legs.
Winter dropped to her knees in front of you, eagerly waiting for your next instruction. You pulled your pants down to your ankles
âStart by using your tongue,â you suggested.
She nodded her head and leaned forward, sticking her tongue out and giving your shaft a lick. It was adorable how she licked up and down your shaft, not knowing exactly what to do, but doing it so passionately.
âGood, keep going,â you encouraged her.
The girl kept working, licking each side of your cock. Up and down she licked, spreading her saliva all over. Then she started working your tip, licking circles around it.
âOh yeah Winter, youâre getting good at that,â you moaned, closing your eyes as her tongue coated your cock. âLick my balls too.â
She was definitely a great listener. Without a momentâs delay, you felt her soft tongue press against your nuts, licking every single bit of skin. She put them into your mouth, still licking them while she sucked with all her strength.
âGood fucking girl,â you moaned again. âNow try taking my whole cock down your throat.â
This was something you had to see. You opened your eyes back up as she lifted her body up slightly to get a better angle. She took a deep breath before engulfing half of your cock and then pausing.
âYou got this,â you encouraged her as she struggled to go deeper. âCome on.â
She was pushing as hard as she could, her face getting slightly red. She got about three quarters of the way down your shaft before pulling it out and gasping for air.
âI canât, itâs like thereâs a wall,â she coughed, a trail of saliva connecting her lips to your cock still.
âIt just takes practice, try again,â you reassured her gently. âWhenever youâre ready.â
She wiped the back of her mouth with her hand and took another deep breath. After giving you a look of determination, she once again turned her attention to your cock, this time immediately plunging back down to the same depth she reached last time.
âOh fuck,â you gasped, watching her mouth stretch as she tried her hardest to push down.
It felt fucking amazing having her struggling to take your cock. The willingness was what really did it for you. Without thinking, you placed a hand on the back of her head and gave her a small push. Your cock went deeper down her neck for a moment before she immediately pulled back.
âIâm sor-â
âI did it!â she cheered. âIt felt like the wall just disappeared for a second, I guess I just needed a small push! Thank you!â
âN-No problem,â you stammered, taken aback by her reaction. âHere, come up here.â
Winter got up off her knees and climbed onto the couch so that she was on her knees next to you, bending over your crotch.
âTry to relax your neck,â you instructed her as you grabbed her head with your hands and guided her back to your cock. âIâm going to help you, just let it happen.â
âMhmm,â Winter agreed, her mouth already filled with your cock.
She moved up and down a couple of times on her own as you gave her a moment to adjust to the new position. After a few more, you pressed your hand down against the back of her head, forcing your cock down her throat.
This time, she managed to make it all the way down before launching back up and coughing. Before you could ask if she was alright, she had already pushed her mouth onto your cock. Again, you pressed the back of her head until she went all the way down, but this time she didnât pull out - she moved back about halfway before pushing back down onto your cock.
âOh fuck yes Winter,â you moaned loudly. âNow you got it.â
It went on for a few minutes where nothing but the sound of Winter gagging on your cock could be heard in the room. Sheâd pull back halfway, then push down all the way with the help of your hand. With each consecutive thrust, you felt less and less need to push with your hand - It was starting to get easier for her.
At this point, you were barely pushing the back of her head. You started to push your hips upwards, matching her pace so that each time she plunged down onto your cock you would shove your hips into her mouth.
Your free hand began to explore her body, reaching over and grabbing a handful of her ass. You squeezed it hard, gave it a few slaps, but nothing stopped the girl from throating your cock again and again. She was determined and it showed.
âHoly fuck Iâm getting close,â you gasped, feeling the pressure building up. âWait, stop.â
Winter released your cock with a plop and turned her head sideways to look up at you.
âI thought you were getting close?â she asked innocently.
âI am, I want to do it properly,â you answered, standing up from the couch and getting in front of her. âIâm going to fuck your mouth until I cum, alright?â
She nodded eagerly, sitting down and looking up at you.
âYouâre doing a fantastic job,â you complimented the girl as you brought your cock to her mouth.
She opened up with a smile before you shoved your cock into her mouth. Just like last time, you started to slam your cock into her mouth relentlessly. With a firm grip on her head with both of your hands, you started thrusting with all your energy, slamming your balls into her chin each time.
The intensity of it forced Winter to grab your thighs for support, but she held strong. She took your cock like a champ, not fighting against it at all, letting you use her throat for your own pleasure.
âIâm about to cum,â you warned her, a mere two seconds before it happened.
It wasnât clear if she even heard you, but as soon as you felt it happen, you pushed your cock as deep down her throat as you could. You held her nose to your crotch, making sure she could feel each and every gush of cum launching out of your cock.
âFuck yes,â you gasped, letting your cock empty itself into the cute girlâs mouth.
Once it finally felt thoroughly emptied, you let go of Winterâs head. She didnât immediately release your cock, she slowly pulled back - it was reassuring to know that she wasnât struggling. A bit of your cum spilled out of her mouth, sliding down her chin.
âHere, letâs not waste any,â you grabbed your cock and used it to scoop up any of the white mess that escaped her lips.
She gracefully opened her mouth to suck the cum off your tip until it was all clean. After swallowing as much as she could collect, she closed her eyes and sat there obediently as you began rubbing your cock all over her face.
âWhat the fuck is going on here?â
Instinctually you pulled your cock away from Winterâs face and turned around, covering your junk with your hands. In the doorway stood Karina, the girl you had looked up earlier, Winterâs bandmate.
âI thought I told you to lock the door,â you whispered to Winter.
âI thought I did!â she defended herself.
Karina closed the door behind her and walked into the room, right in front of the two of you. The anger in her eyes was somewhat terrifying, but it was difficult to not be blown away by her beauty even in this moment of anger.
âSo, youâre the one lying to my friend?â Karina hissed, staring right into your eyes.
âHeâs not lying to me,â Winter protested from the couch.
âShut up,â Karina turned her attention to Winter. âAnd why the hell are you naked?â
Winter sheepishly crossed her arms and legs to cover up.
âNo point covering up now, you have no dignity left to maintain,â Karina scolded her. âAnd you, why are you also trying to cover up? Come on, move your hands, you clearly have no shame.â
It was odd, you couldnât explain why you listened to her, but you moved your arms aside so that your messy cock was in the open. Perhaps it was because Karina was so fucking beautiful, you just had to listen to her. As she took a look at it, she seemed to pause for a second, losing her train of thought momentarily before snapping back into reality.
âSo whoâs going to explain what the fuck is going on here.â
âIt was my idea,â Winter mumbled from the couch. âI was jealous of what you said, I wanted to get better at it.â
The tone in the room immediately shifted. Karina crouched down next to Winter, wearing a soft expression on her face.
âHey,â Karina put a hand on Winterâs thigh. âI didnât tell you that stuff to make you feel bad, itâs not a competition.â
âIf it was, Iâd be losing.â
âItâs not,â Karina repeated herself.
âAnd I know you think Iâm stupid for thinking swallowing cum helps my voice,â Winter continued, the sadness felt in each syllable of her words. âBut I really believe it.â
âIâŚâ Karina looked torn, not knowing how to tell her friend she was an idiot while also not hurting her feelings. âLook, I donât think youâre stupid for believing it, maybe it does work for some people, and maybe youâre one of those people. I donât think itâs dumb to try.â
âYou really mean it?â Winter looked up at Karina with hopeful eyes.
âYeah, it canât hurt to try, right?â Karina smiled back at Winter.
âDid you want to try?â you asked, suddenly feeling audacious enough to take the opportunity at hand. You wanted to see how far this beauty of a girl would go to make her friend feel better. âMaybe it works for you, too?â
Before Karina could even speak, Winter lit up in excitement.
âThatâs a great idea!â Winter cheered. âLike you said, it canât hurt to try! And then I could also learn how itâs done properly!â
âW-WhatâŚâ Karina began to stammer. She was stuck and she knew it.
This felt like a fever dream. Standing there with your rock hard cock out while this drop-dead gorgeous girl consoled her nude friend. It made literally no sense. What made even less sense was what Karina decided to do next.
âI⌠guess I couldâŚâ she sighed, gasping as Winter jumped up from the couch and hugged her.
âThank you for believing!â
âNo problemâŚâ Karina answered half-heartedly while she glared at you over Winterâs shoulder.
After letting go of Karina, Winter got up and sat on the couch where you joined her. Karina slowly dropped down to her knees, lifting her arms up behind her head to tie her hair into a bun. Your cock was already itching to blow again, and you tried to mentally prepare for what was about to happen, but you knew already there was no chance youâd be able to last very long.
Winter watched intently as Karina began to lean forward, giving you a clear view of her very deep cleavage. Karina didnât even bother using her hands, she brought her lips to your tip and slowly parted them, engulfing your cock slowly.
The way she slowly inched your cock down her throat in its entirety made you realize immediately that this girl knew what she was doing. Just as slowly as she swallowed your whole cock, she moved back up until only your tip was in her mouth. She licked at your hole a couple of times before slowly going back down your cock.
Winter was in shock, watching her friend take your entire length with ease. You almost felt bad as you were reminded of how much the girl was gagging on your cock just moments ago, but those feelings lasted barely seconds as Karinaâs mouth was taking over all your senses.
Just as you predicted, this was going to be fast. As Karina bobbed up and down your cock, you could feel the pressure building up already - It was almost embarrassing. She started to move faster, steadily increasing her speed, consistently taking your entire length down her throat with each pump.
Karinaâs lips made a tight seal around your cock. Perfect, it meant not a single drop of cum would be wasted. She kept her lips tight, up and down your cock, using her tongue every time she came back up to coax your load out of you. It was working - much faster than your prediction even.
The thought of warning her as you were about to blow crossed your mind, but when you remembered that sexy glare of hers from earlier, you decided against it. Youâd probably feel bad about it, however right now everything felt right. She was fucking amazing at sucking your cock.
One final little lick of your tip was all it took. You started unloading ropes down her throat. Karina jolted as the first spurt shot into her mouth, but just as you predicted, she kept her lips tight around your shaft. By the time your second and third shots of cum surged out of your tip, Karina had already pushed her mouth down your cock. She held her mouth at your base until you finished unloading.
Then, as slowly as physically possible, she began lifting her mouth off your cock. She stared at you with that burning passion in her eyes, those unrealistically beautiful eyes, before tilting her head back slightly and parting her lips, showing you all the fresh cum on her tongue.
Winter squealed in excitement, covering her mouth and watching intently as Karina then closed her mouth again. In one singular motion, Karina swallowed, wiping her lips with the back of her hand.
âThat was so impressive,â Winter gushed, in awe at what her friend just did. âCan I try again?â
It took great effort to not burst out laughing at the absurdity of her words, but you held it together. You leaned back into the couch, breathing heavily as your cock softened in front of Karinaâs face, finally receiving some much-needed rest.
âNot now, you need to go get ready,â Karina replied to Winterâs request while keeping her eyes locked on you.
Winter quickly hopped off the couch and started putting her clothes back on. Even though you could see her in your periphery, your eyes were fixated on Karina. The two of you stared at each other, it wasnât entirely clear what was going on in her head.
âAre you not coming?â Winter asked after getting dressed.
âYou go, Iâll catch up in a minute,â Karina said, still staring at you.
No more words were spoken until Winter left the room and closed the door behind her. The pause felt like an eternity, only being broken up by the sound of your deep breaths.
âA warning would have been nice,â Karina broke the silence casually.
That was not what you expected. You thought sheâd be mad at you or threaten you or yell at you or all of the above.
âMy bad, I was lost in the moment,â you responded, equally casually. âYouâre pretty good at that, by the way.â
âI know,â Karina commented confidently.
There was a moment of awkward silence between the two of you.
âSoâŚâ you began to speak before Karina cut you off.
âWhat are you doing after the show?â
---
A/N:
Random inspiration, wrote this in basically one evening. I know it's not super long or anything, but this mini series is very much just a fun side project! I don't know exactly why I find so much enjoyment in writing such a ridiculous scenario, but hopefully someone else enjoys this silliness as much as I do.
Karina is very hot. Bit of a cliffhanger at the end I guess, but I'll just confirm now; Whenever I do get to writing the next part, it will probably be very Karina heavy. I don't know, I'm just on a bit of a Karina high lately.

hello may i request a logan x reader fic where they co-parent and take care of laura? it can be in an au where laura goes to school but she keeps getting herself into fights and stuff. Just thought itâll be cute to see a family dynamic between them hehe
little family | old man logan
an: keep the old man logan requests coming đŤ i love dilfs
mutant!reader (again, same as logan đ)
You were at work at the local library when you got a call about Laura. The young girl had gotten into another fight. She was truly a spitting image of her father. You apologized to your manager and excused yourself so you could go meet Logan at the school. Your relationship with Logan had come to an end, but you still cared deeply for each other and for Laura.
You finally made it to the school parking lot where you coincidentally parked next to Loganâs car. You headed inside the school and from the entrance you could hear loud talking coming from the main office. It was Loganâs voice so you followed it.
Laura sat outside the main office in the chairs that were neatly arranged in a row. She looked at you then ran to you in need of her mother.
âAre you hurt?â You crouched down to her level and inspected her face for cuts or bruises.
Laura shook her head. âNo.â
âWas the boy being mean again?â Laura had told you about a boy that kept picking on her. Laura nodded.
You were glad she wasnât injured. Now it was the principal you had to deal with. You told Laura to stay outside while you confronted the principal.
âHow are you sure that Laura was the one to start the fight? The other kid couldâve swung first!â Logan raised his voice.
âSir, this is the fourth grade. No kid should be âswingingâ their fists in the first place. We suggest you and your wife talk to Laura and perhaps look into other schools. Her teacher described her as unhinged and we canât haveââ the principal said.
âExcuse me?â You spoke. All eyes were on you now. Laura had poked her head into the office wanting to see what was going to happen. âLaura is perfectly fine. She doesnât need this school. Donât ever talk about my daughter like that ever again.â
Logan could see your claws slowly coming out of your knuckle as you approached the counter. He held you back by grabbing your wrist. âLetâs go.â
Just as Logan was guiding you out the door, the principal spoke again. âWhat is wrong with you people?!â
âFuck off!â You and Logan shouted at her as you exited the office, Laura followed you with a small smile on her face.
Your little family of three headed outside. You were sure Logan wasnât bringing her back to school. Maybe it was time to homeschool Laura. . .
âI can take her if you want to go back to work.â Logan said, taking out a flask from his jacket. He never really did care about school anyway.
âItâs fine. You can go back.â He exhaled, putting the flask back in his jacket.
âActually, why donât we go get ice cream? We havenât done that in a while.â You suggested. Laura immediately turned to Logan and started pulling at his jacket. She loved going out with you and Logan for ice cream.
âYeah . . . Thatâs . . Yeah, we could do that.â
So Logan drove in his car while you drove yours with Laura in the passenger seat to the nearest ice cream shop. At the shop, you told them about all the workplace drama and some new books you thought Laura might.
âYou three are such a lovely family!â An elderly woman gushed when she saw you. âHow long have you and your husband been married? I just celebrated fifty five.â
Before you could correct her about your marital status, Logan spoke up.
âTwenty five years, although it feels as if weâve been married all this time.â He grabbed your hand from under the table and squeezed it.
âHow adorable.â The woman said before saying goodbye and leaving the shop.
Laura looked at you and Logan with a smirk.As she was about to say something, Logan quickly stopped her.
âJust shut up and eat your ice cream, kid.â All you and Laura did was laugh. You loved your little family to death.

Jason Todd x Single Mom!Reader
I've been plagued for many months now by the idea of jason todd x young single mom!reader. I literally made this blog this morning just to post this
this is so LONG try as i might to shorten it i've been itching to get all this out of me so enjoy this word vomit i might just make a full fic if i'm feeling extra frisky
You got pregnant in college, and now youâre fresh out of grad school moving to a new city with your 3 year old daughter
You got a job at Wayne Enterprises, leading an important new project. You and your colleagues are invited to the latest Wayne Gala, hosted at the billionaireâs own manor. All these years as a young mother and a student, you hadnât any experience with such extravagance-- how could you say no?
the party lowkey sucks because it's all old rich people so you sneak out to a balcony where you find a young man drinking whiskey and texting on his phone.
he introduces himself as jason, and his hand is rough and calloused when you shake it, but it's warm and sends a tingle up your arm. (đ)
You chat about your work, he complains about the stuffiness of a life at Wayne Enterprises and you laugh when he warns you to get out while you can (he's joking, of course. not because he thinks it's worth staying but because if you leave he'd never be able to hear that adorable laugh again)
when you go off on a tangent about how excited you are for your project, he's not even listening anymore. the sheer passion that lights up your face has his mind going fuzzy and a full orchestra playing in the background
you're pulled back in before he can get your number :( he's so mopey all weekend he doesn't even have it in him to retaliate when damian makes fun of him for having pink pony club as his top song for this month :(
when you get home your email is flooded with warnings from other parents at your daughter's daycare about a lice scare?? okay, you think, she's definitely not going on monday, you can just bring her to work with you, right? what's the worst that could happen?
the following monday he just happens to show up at the office (He can't just stop by to say hi to his brother who he loves?) (tim calls security almost immediately)
you're not at your cubicle (in a meeting, your desk neighbor informs him) so he mills about the floor like a lost puppy just waiting for you to show up so he can "accidentally" run into you
the woman at the front desk has a chair pulled up next to hers where this little girl with pigtails is sitting, trying to console her as tears stream down her face
jason springs into action, kneeling in front of her chair to ask what's wrong
she just sniffles and holds up her stuffed animal, an elephant whose button eye has popped out, the woman watching her trying to get her to hand it over so she can sew it back on but she wont let go
he goes full grey's anatomy, fussing over the toy like it's in mortal peril and complimenting her for being so brave before gently asking if he can try to fix it
she lets him take it and he uses the woman's travel sewing kit to stitch it back on
she's ecstatic, leaping forward into his arms to give him a big hug
but now she won't let him leave because no he has to have a conversation with the elephant first and introduce himself and give it post-surgery care instructions and listen to it talk about how much she it wants a puppy and he feels like such an idiot talking to that thing but anything to make this little girl smile
she pulls a little picture book from the backpack hung on the back of her chair and asks him to read with her and he can't just say no!
so he plops down on the tile floor and starts reading out loud and even though she's standing next to him craning her neck to see the pictures he's a head taller than her
when you finish your meeting and head back to the front desk to thank gretchen for watching your kid the sight you see makes your heart absolutely melt
jason and your daughter are sitting criss-cross applesauce on the floor of Wayne Enterprises as he reads to her, and he's pulling out all the stops, he's doing voices, sound effects, and she's giggling so hard she can't sit up straight
but then they both finally notice you
"mommy!" she yells, running to you and wrapping herself around your leg
you're surprised to see him, but definitely not disappointed, and if what you just walked in on indicated anything, it was that you wanted, nay, needed this man
so now you're flushed and hopeful, mind running with possibilities of why he's here; could it be? he couldn't stop thinking about you either? he came all the way to ask you out?
but jason is also surprised, astounded even, by the miniature carbon copy clinging to your leg saying something about scooby snacks
he's freaking out on the inside
through a tight-lipped greeting he excuses himself with what he hopes is a neutral demeanor (spoiler alert: it's not) and goes home to think
and you obviously know exactly what that was about, one doesn't go through pregnancy at 19 without becoming well-acquainted with the whole catalogue of surprised/judgy reactions
of course you're a mess because the early/mid 20s dating scene is hard enough as it is but with a toddler? forget it, might as well just give up now
you go home to call your best friend and get drunk over face time while she assures you that men aint shit and offers to put a curse on him (you consider it, but how are you supposed to get a lock of his hair?)
he's up all night hating himself for being such an asshole and trying to come up with a scenario in which this works, in which he can have you in his life and also a child and be the red hood because he can't stop thinking about you
so then he just says fuck it and the next morning he shows up at your office with flowers and a puppy stuffed animal and finally asks you out

show-off (price's version)
capt. john price
cw: smut/pwp, filth, dirty talk, filming, mirror sex, doggy style, age gap (20s/40s)
simon's version | johnny's version | kyle's version
what belonged to price, belonged to no one else. that was sort of the rule. but that didn't mean that price didn't share... images. while the rest of 141 couldn't touch what was his, they could touch themselves to photos and videos of price's "puppy".
the cute little failed cadet that price swept away to a charmed little life. he told the boys you did better as a girlfriend than a cadet.
"ain't she a beauty?" price beamed over drinks on evening, "prettiest fuckin' thing i'd ever seen. let's me do all kinds of dirty things to her. she's my baby girl." then laughed.
even in a photo the other members of the team were chubbed in their pants. you just had this charm to you that greatly turned them on, you beyond gorgeous.
it made them a little jealous, and price knew that.
simon, johnny and kyle all woke up on the second day of their time off, to a video file in the group chat. the file was dense in size. what they didn't expect was the following.
you were in front of the mirror with price holding his phone camera. in the reflection was your naked body knelt in front of the full length mirror. price was behind you, he was nude as well. his built. hairy body was such a contrast to you.
you looked so small compared to him. like he had plucked you from the heavens and bounced you on his cock. you held onto the carpet under you as you rolled your hips.
"that's it darlin'." he said, "that's my baby girl." his voice was low, but picked up by the microphone on the phone. there was a nice sheen of sweat of your body as you worked yourself on price's cock like a good girl.
"john, please." you whimpered as you tried to keep yourself up right. withering on his cock was he stayed perfectly still. he was letting you do all the work.
"look up at the mirror, love. show the boys what their missin'." price chuckled as he rubbed his cock inside of you. the stimulation made you moan. when he saw that you weren't looking, he used his free hand to yank on your face till you were looking right at the mirror, "bad girl." he said, "and i was just gloatin' about ya to the team. tellin' them how much of a good girl you were for me. listenin' and, waitin' with legs open."
you whimpered as you continued to jack hammer your hips against him. there was a fire burning in your belly as you fucked yourself on price's cock. you made him promise that this wasn't going to be sent to everyone on base. price told you it was just "for the boys".
which meant simon, johnny and kyle all had the luxury of seeing you fuck yourself on their captain's cock.
"see how she is, boys?" he asked the camera, his eyes on the screen to make sure that they could see the video in the clearest definition, "ya gotta get yourself a good girl. ya keep findin' them at clubs and bars. don't bother, find yourself one who's eager to please. make her a better wife than a solider." price laughed before he buried his face in your neck and gave you what you craved.
movement of his hips.
you were practically face first in the carpet as price started to fully take over. the camera panned away from the mirror down to the back of your head as he took control.
your noises were so sweet they bordered on pathetic. the sounds of your wet pussy filled the room and easily caught on video. price got right in there, watching your pussy take him too his root.
"see boys." he said, "just find yourself a good girl like that. maybe if you behave, she'll tell her friends all about the task force." he laughed, the idea of your sweet friends ending up with someone like simon was almost adorable.
you whimpered and he held your head into the carpet, your ass right in the air as he started to really work at your pussy. your ass bounced with each hard thrust.
"pretty little slut." price laughed as he fucked you into the carpet, "knows how to keep her man happy, and it ain't from good cookin'!" he erupted in laughter as he just ruined your cunt.
his pace became ragged, his thrusts more desperate than before. he sole focus was getting to finish inside of you. but you beat him to it, you clawed at the carpet and whined. your pussy clamped around price's thick cock. you orgasm spurred his on and he almost dropped his phone as he buried his entire length into you.
a few heavy pants and he slowed down. he managed to focus himself enough to film himself pulling out his bare cock out of your sweet pussy. watching the stretch as the entire thing came out.
he pointed the camera one last time and asked, "ready for another round?" followed by a airy laugh.
you responded by lifting your head and nodded. you looked painfully blissed out. but ready for more. and price was going to give you more.
the video ended and a few minutes later, price sent a message.
rise and shine, boys! the message said, early bird gets the worm! followed by an image of your cum filled pussy as you laid on the carpet.
the rest of task force 141 was not embarrassed to admit the video and photo were quickly saved for later usage. what would they say, price's girl was just fuckable.

hi!!! Can you do a Spencer Reid x fem reader where she doesn't work for the bau and meets the team for the first time and her and Spencer are just so in love and practically attached at the hip, sharing drinks, holding hands, and just being so cute and the team is shocked and teases Spencer about her and how he acts with her but they are so happy for him
-------------------
you make me happy- s.reid
-------------------
-------------------
a/n: i love this idea!!! thank you so much for requesting :)
summary: spencer acts different around you and it shocks the team
pairing: spencer reid x fem reader
warnings: none
-------------------
Everyone on the team was shocked. Theyâd just decided to go out for drinks after a case, and there you were, Spencerâs girlfriend.Â
What?
-------------------
It had been an awful week at your job, your asshole boss was being an asshole, your creepy co-worker followed you to your car, someone else took credit for your work in the project you just wrapped, and on top of it Spencer was away all week.Â
But there he was, in the same bar as this stupid wrap party.
He sent you over a drink, labelling it from âyour secret admirerâ, and when you caught his eye you both smiled and waved at each other, happy to know he was back and you could be together again. Even if âbeing togetherâ meant staring at each other from across the bar and texting under the table.Â
You: Thank you for the drink :)
Spencer: It's no problem, sorry I was gone all week. How was work? (Iâm not sure how to do the smiley-face thing, sorry!)
You: It was awful :( Iâll tell you about it later, have a fun night love you! Gtg
Spencer: what does âgtgâ mean?
You: Lol, âgot to goâ.
Spencer: whatâs âlolâ
You: âlaugh out loudâ
âY/n!â your friend shook you away from your phone.
âYes?â you answered, hastily putting it back in your bag.Â
âThereâs a guy on that table that is totally checking you out,â she smirked. âFinally ready to end this dry-spell?â
âI already told you Iâm not looking for anything right now,â you sighed. âIâm happy how I am.â
None of your work friends knew about you and Spencer, mostly because you weren't really close with them and in part because theyâre the nosiest people known to man.Â
âFine, suit yourself,â she rolled her eyes and continued the conversation with the rest of the table. You looked in the direction of Spencerâs table and only saw him in front of you.Â
âHi,â he smiled, waving awkwardly.
âHi,â you smiled back, heat creeping up your face as you felt all eyes on the table turn to you and Spencer.Â
âI want you to meet some people, is that ok?â he asked and you nodded.Â
âIâll be back in a minute,â you smiled at the rest of your table. Spencer held your hand in his as you walked back to the table to be met with six pairs of eyes trained on the two of you.Â
âWell, this is my girlfriend,â Spencer admitted sheepishly as jaws dropped.Â
A chorus of âSince when?â, âwhy didnât you tell us?â, âhow long?â, and âhow did you pull her?â started and you just chuckled as Spencerâs face became increasingly red.Â
âGuys! Stop!â he laughed. âIâll answer your questions just maybe⌠introduce yourselves first?âÂ
âIâm Derek Morgan,â he sent you a wink and you chuckled.
âAaron Hotchner,â he held out his hand to be shook, and you took it. Heâs definitely the father-figure of the group.
âPenelope Garcia, I cannot wait to invite you on our girls trips, you will just adore-â
âPen,â Spencer sighed, a certain desperation in his voice that made you squeeze his hand, assuring him that itâs alright.Â
âEmily Prentiss,â she shook your hand.Â
âJennifer Jareau but everyone calls me Jj.âÂ
âDavid Rossi.â
âAnd of course, you know Spencer,â Derek smiled.
You sat beside Spencer and introduced yourself and the questions started pouring in. As you sat beside him, Spencerâs hand circled your waist and he held you close to him, his hands all over you.Â
âWhere did you meet?â Derek asked.Â
âAt the library,â Spencer answered. âWe were⌠arguing over a translation in a book. She was right but-â
âWhat language?â Emily asked.Â
âGerman,â you smiled. âIâm fluent.â
âAre you from Germany?â She asked.Â
âNo, I just learnt it when I was a kid. My parents were professors of language when I was a kid so they just made me learn as many as possible.â
Spencerâs hands moved from your waist slowly down to your hips and he pressed a mindless kiss to your shoulder as the conversation went from your relationship to other things. He was all over you all night and you didnât even mind. He drank from your drink, his eyes were more often than not focused on you, his hands were all over you, to say it was jarring for the team would've been an understatement. He'd never been one for physical touch, but here he was, practically draped over you.
-------------------
At one point, he went to the bathroom and all eyes were on you again.
âIs he⌠Is he usually like that?â Derek smirked.Â
âLike what?â You asked.
âAll over you?â Derek chuckled. âI mean the kid barely lets us touch the things on his desk, let alone touch him.â
You shrugged. âHe just⌠doesnât mind when itâs me, I guess.â
The team shared a smile with each other and you felt even more self-conscious. âWhat?â
âHe really likes you,â Aaron smiled. âItâs just nice to know that heâs⌠happy. Especially after all heâs been through.â
You felt a sense of pride in your chest and you smiled back at them.Â
âWhat did I miss?â Spencer asked, sitting beside you again.Â
âNothing much, just questioning your girl on your habits. I had no idea you still slept with the light on-â Derek teased but Spencer shut his mouth by shoving him over.
-------------------
The rest of the night was full of laughter until Spencer and you drove home. You stepped inside the house and toed off your shoes, then turned to Spencer, kissing him heavily. His hands landed on your ass, softly kneading the flesh there.Â
When you pulled away, you two were already at the couch and he was under you. âHi.â
âHi,â he smiled. âSo⌠what did you think?â he asked nervously.
âI thought they were wonderful,â you smiled and kissed him again, softer this time.Â
Spencer smiled. âGood. I really wanted you to like them.â
âWell I do,â you smiled.
âWhat did you talk about when I went to the bathroom?â He asked, his hands wandering up your body to brush some hair out of your face.
âOh just the usual, our sex life-â you teased but he cut you off with a groan and let his head fall back against the couch.
âPlease tell me youâre joking?â
âI am,â you chuckled. âThey said they were happy that youâre happy. Theyâre happy that I make you happy.â
Spencerâs eyes lit up. âThatâs not too bad then,â he smiled and there was a charged silence for a few moments. You two just looked at each other, drinking each other in.
âTheyâre right,â Spencer suddenly spoke up.
âWhat?â you asked.Â
âYou make me happy. Very happy,â he smiled and you swear you couldâve cried.Â
âYou make me happy too,â you smiled through misty eyes.Â
You two didnât need to talk anymore. You both knew what it meant. You were in love.
His lips pressed against your for the third time that night.

Evan Buckley Masterlist
Part 2
Summary: Evan has a great relationship with (Y/n)'s little girl, Minnie. So good, in fact, that at preschool, she starts telling everyone that her dad is a firefighter.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A grin spread across Evan's features when he pulled up outside the preschool. He unclipped his belt and tilted his head to the right, looking across at his little 'passenger princess' as he had come to call her recently.
Minnie had a cheesy smile on her face that glistened in the sunlight, illuminating the streaks of syrup covering her lips and chin and most likely her hands too.
Her hair was tied up in a bobble with a dark red bow in the centre of her head which always acted as a beacon. Evan could always spot her when he was dropping her off or picking her up due to the bows and clips she liked to have in her hair.
"Alright, let's clean up quick."
He leaned across to fish out the pack of wipes he had in the glove box while his heart gave out an extra beat when he noticed what Minnie was doing. She had her arms pinned to her chest but her hands held out in front of her, waiting very patiently and doing her best not to touch anything. She didn't want to get syrup all over the car, especially not when Evan told her the pancakes they got on the way to school were a secret.
Of course, (Y/n) knew they would pick something up on their way, they always did. (Y/n) knew one of them would end up letting slip what they had got on their way to school and work and half the time it was Evan who let slip what they had.
He swiped the sticky golden splotches from Minnie's hands and dabbed at her mouth before he kissed her nose.
Evan loved bringing her to school but he loved to pick her up even more because then he got to see her run out into the playground and make a beeline for him. He adored seeing Minnie run over to him with her arms out and a bright smile on her face, it made his day ten times better.
"Okay," He murmured to himself, cleaning himself up too before he grabbed the rubbish and climbed out the jeep, tossing everything in the bin on his way. "Ready?"
He unclipped Minnie's belt and scooped her out of the car seat, easing her down to her feet and helping her slide her backpack over her shoulders.
He loved that he didn't even have to say anything and she would automatically reach up and take his much larger hand in her own. Her fingers squeezed into his palm and she started to sway their hands back and forth as Evan guided them across the path towards the gates.
"You picking me up today?" The four year old tilted her head back and squinted in the bright sun to look up at Evan.
Her toothy grin melted his heart and had him beaming a smile back down at her. He wished he was picking her up, he would pick her up every day from school if he could, but he was going to work in ten minutes and he would be on a double shift. He wouldn't be finished until tomorrow morning so he wasn't going to see Minnie until tomorrow afternoon when she came home from school.
"Not today, mouse. Your mum's gonna pick you up, but I'll pick you up tomorrow if you want."
The nickname rolled off the tongue without Evan needing to think about it. He had come accustomed to calling her mouse, after Minnie Mouse, and he knew if he ever called her by her name, she thought she was in trouble because she was so used to petnames from Evan.
The four year old had attached herself to Evan from the moment they met and he couldn't of been happier.
Evan had been a little bit apprehensive going into a relationship with (Y/n) because all the other girls he'd dated had never had kids. He loved kids, he was a natural at looking after kids, but this was new territory for Evan. He had been worried that Minnie wouldn't want him around.
With (Y/n) being a single mum, Minnie wasn't used to her mum having a boyfriend or having a father figure around and Evan worried that she wouldn't want him being that father figure in her life.
She took them both by surprise. If Evan didn't pick her up from school she would pout and wobble her lower lip. If he wasn't round to have tea with them or if he couldn't put her to bed, she would stomp her foot and have a tantrum. If she thought (Y/n) was getting more attention she would get grumpy and if (Y/n) got a kiss, Minnie would pout and wait until Evan kissed her too.
And she had easily wormed her way into Evan's heart. He was forever telling the team about her and had dozens of photos of both his girls on his phone.
His favourite was the one of Minnie trying to wear his uniform. She had found his uniform when she and (Y/n) came over for dinner at the loft. Safe to say, Evan found her wearing his boots and his shirt that drowned her frame and he had to take a picture.
"Okay," Minnie leaned her head against Evan's leg, itching her temple against the scratchy material of his starched trousers.
Evan slowed down when they approached the gates, but he knew their routine by now. He didn't necessarily have to walk Minnie through the gates, her classroom was ten feet in front of the gates next to the playground. He could stand at the gates and see her safely into class.
But that never happened. Every time he dropped her off, Minnie would walk him through the gates like she was the adult safely escorting him to school. Only when they were right near the classroom door would she let go of his hand and say goodbye.
He let her drag him through the gates, smiling happily as the little girl led him towards the playground. They were a few minutes early today and her class was out in the play area, all milling about and burning off energy until the teacher would call them inside.
"Okay now I won't see you until tomorrow. Try not to miss me too much," He crouched down in front of her, letting go of her hand so he could hold her sides instead.
The whine she let out made his smile dampen but at least she didn't cry. She pushed forward and looped her arms around his neck, leaning against his chest for a hug.
"Bye bye." She broke off in a fit of giggles when Evan started to press sloppy kisses against her cheek to brighten her up.
"Bye girlie," He pressed a lasting kiss to her temple before he pushed up and headed back out the gates. He looked back over his shoulder, as always, and found Minnie waving at him with a toothy grin and creased eyes.
Minnie's shoulders sagged and her head lolled to one side as she looked around the playground.
She liked school, but she wasn't the most interactive or social child in the room. It worried (Y/n) that Minnie would rather sit on a table by herself and colour or do games on her own than with the other kids. The four year old started to panic when the teachers tried to get her to join in with everyone else. She was better with one on one where she interacted with one friend at a time otherwise she seemed to become overwhelmed and recluse herself.
She stayed watching through the fence as Evan hopped in the jeep, giving her one last wave before he pulled away. When he was gone, her lips pressed into a big pout and she turned around.
Her beady eyes landed on Amber, one of the girls in her class who she felt more comfortable sitting and talking to.
She headed over towards Amber and flopped down on her bum next to her as Amber was doodling on the pavement with chalk. There was another boy from their class, Miles, sat chalking the floor and Tina was stood kicking at the stones, waiting to head inside.
For a few moments, Minnie sat quiet as the mouse she was named after and listened to the conversations floating around. Her hands tapped against her thighs and her head tilted to one side as she tried to keep up.
"My daddy builds things, like big buildings. He goes in big crane machines." Amber didn't look away from whatever creation she was doodling, but she moved her hands out at her sides to emphasise how big the machines were that her dad operated.
"My dad fixes things, like trains." Miles dropped the blue chalk he was holding, now bored of doing this. He wanted to go inside.
"What does your dad do?"
Minnie's lips formed another pout and she began bashing her hands against her legs to give herself something to do.
She didn't know.
She didn't have one. Minnie always found it strange when she started school that the other kids talked about their dads and said their dads lived with them and took them out or told them off or picked them up. It was strange because she didn't have one. All Minnie had was her mum and Evan, who (Y/n) always said was her boyfriend.
But surely, if he was her mum's boyfriend, that meant he was Minnie's dad, didn't it?
Couldn't Evan be her dad? He brought her to school and picked her up, just like Amber's dad. He took her out to the zoo with her new 'cousin Chris'. He stayed over a lot of nights and he stayed in her mum's room. He cooked and played games with Minnie, he helped her get dressed and tucked her into bed. Sometimes he would tell her off like Miles's dad, though not often because Minnie prided herself on being good.
Evan did all the things the other dads did, so that had to make him Minnie's dad. Plus, they were going to live together soon. (Y/n) and Evan had already sat Minnie down and said they were all going to live in a house together soon and they were all packing their things up, ready for when they moved next month.
"My daddy's a fireman." Minnie kept her eyes on the chalk on the floor as her tummy fluttered and her legs began to jitter.
Well, that was what Evan did and he seemed to be her dad, for all intents and purposes. And that was what Minnie wanted. She wasn't sure if her friends chose their mums or their dads or if that was how this was supposed to work, but Minnie chose Evan.
"Does he drive the big trucks?"
Her words seemed to spark Miles's interest and he stopped fidgeting to pay attention to her.
"Yeah. Daddy had the truck fall on his leg."
"No he didn't."
A deep frown set in Minnie's features. Her nose scrunched up and her brows furrowed until she could barely see and her lips curled into the biggest pout she'd ever made. Her little hands planted down on her thighs as she huffed.
"Did too! I've seen the scar, he had pins and bolts in his leg." She wasn't fibbing. She had seen Evan's legs whenever he wore shorts when he stayed with them or when he took her swimming.
On the back of his left leg, he had a massive scar going from the back of his knee right down to his foot. It was a streaky white colour and as wide as Minnie's thumb that could trace the indent it caused in his skin like the formations of a crack in the road.
She was enamoured by the small lines that streaked horizontally across his scar from the stitches and she had seen the little circular scars where he'd had pins inserted into the bone to keep it in tact. Minnie didn't quite understand why he still had his leg considering such a big truck had landed on it, but she was satisfied when Evan just told her he was very lucky.
"Wow." Miles seemed satisfied by her answer and Minnie managed to smile, her frown washing away just as the bell rang and Miss Harvey came over to usher them all inside.
***
"Are you ready?" (Y/n) let her eyes scan around the group of children all piling off the minibus, but her sight kept falling back to her daughter stood at her side.
She felt Minnie take hold of her hand and tuck herself up against her mum's leg like she wanted to blend in and hide herself away.
(Y/n) was glad she had signed up for this little fieldtrip. She dreaded to think what Minnie would be like if she wasn't here. The preschool seemed to take the kids on lots of different outings and activities and parents were encouraged to sign up as chaperones and (Y/n) was more than happy to do that. Especially since Minnie was struggling with including herself and wanting to join in.
If she wasn't here, (Y/n) had a feeling Minnie would of thrown a tantrum about going on this trip or she might have attached to one of the other mums here and not left their side.
Their group- consisting of fifteen children, three parents including (Y/n), and two teachers- all walked down the path until they were in front of the large brick building with bright red shutters and signs attached.
"And this is the fire station we're visiting today." Miss Harvey beckoned all the kids to stand close together with the parents hovering them towards the wall and away from the road.
(Y/n) looked down when she felt Minnie give a small tug on her hand, although the four year old had her eyes set on the station like it was a beacon coming out of the darkness.
"Station, like where Buck works?"
"Yep." She squeezed Minnie's hand with an encouraging smile. She had chosen not to tell Minnie where they were going or which station, when they talked this morning. It seemed safer not to in case Minnie got too overexcited or in case this trip didn't go ahead for some reason.
And (Y/n) hadn't told Evan either so it would be a surprise for both of them when they walked in.
She kept Minnie tucked into her side and also kept an eye on the other two girls who were staying close by, Amber and Tina. They seemed to want to talk and interact with Minnie, but Minnie wasn't so keen. She just wanted to stay with (Y/n) and only talk to her mum.
They all followed Miss Harvey inside and (Y/n) took a moment to look around, almost in wonder as much as the kids. She had never been in a fire station before. Despite being with Evan for a year now, she had yet to turn up here. That didn't mean she hadn't met his friends, or his 'work family' as he called them, (Y/n) had met just about everyone who was important to Evan, but actually being here made all his stories come alive.
They were all guided to a large space between two fire trucks and all the kids were kindly told to sit down on the floor in the middle of the trucks.
"Okay kids, this is Captain Nash. He's in charge here and he's going to talk to you about what they do here."
Once Miss Harvey moved to the left and motioned towards Bobby, (Y/n) moved her hands and motioned for Minnie and Amber to sit down in the third row.
A gasp tumbled past Minnie's lips and she suddenly tugged on (Y/n)'s hand before she tried to rush to the side. (Y/n) followed her line of sight while she wrapped both arms around her daughter and reeled her back into her chest to stop her from running off.
"Baby, come on we need to sit down-"
"Buck! It's Buck." She wriggled from left to right, doing her best to get out of her mother's arms but it didn't work. (Y/n) sat her down and knelt behind her, keeping hold of her like they were just having a cuddle when really, she was preventing her daughter from running around the station like the Tazmanian Devil.
"You can see him after the Captain's talked to everyone," (Y/n) hushed in her ear, wincing when Minnie all but huffed and crossed her arms.
But she stayed seated on the floor, pressing her chin into her chest while she tried to focus on what the Captain was saying. It was hard. Minnie couldn't concentrate despite his soft voice and his warm smile. She wanted to go and see Buck.
Evan tossed the cleaning rag over his shoulder and stepped away from the ambulance when he heard the ruckus. That meant the kids were here.
It wasn't often that they got schools coming by to visit the station, it was normally them turning up at schools to give safety talks and lectures. He figured this was better for the kids. Out of their usual environment, somewhere new to look around and explore and this way, they got to see the trucks and the ambulance and see what it looked like inside a real station.
He crossed one leg over the other and leant against a pillar next to Eddie who was stood with his hands in his pockets and a soft smile on his face.
Once Eddie turned and noticed who it was behind him, he grinned and lightly jabbed his elbow into Evan's chest before pointing towards the group of kids all sat on the floor.
"You never said it was Minnie's class coming in today."
"What?" Evan pushed up off the pillar, standing back on his feet properly as his shoulders straightened and his back clicked into place.
Minnie's class? She was here? (Y/n) never mentioned it. She never said Minnie was going on a trip today, or that it would be a trip to his very own station. Come to think of it, Minnie hadn't said anything either and if Evan knew her like he thought he did, he knew that she would of been screaming in his ear that she was going to come and visit him today. He would of been waiting by the door if he knew.
His eyes scoured the three rows of preschool kids all sat quietly, barely any of them moving, all enamoured by Bobby's speech and how he was beginning to point and describe the anatomy of the trucks.
Sure enough, Evan's beady eyes landed on not only Minnie but (Y/n) as well. They were knelt in the back row on the end and Minnie was leaning back into (Y/n) like she was desperate to wriggle out of her mum's hold and run around the station.
"I didn't know," Evan whispered softly, barely turning his head in Eddie's direction because he couldn't look away from his girls.
The moment Minnie looked in his direction and realised he was looking at her, her whole face lit up. She smiled and her eyes shone like stars and she started to wriggle again. She sat up straight and squared her shoulders, moving to wave frantically in his direction until a grin broke out on Evan's face and he silently waved back.
Evan's original plan had been to hang somewhere out the way and then come down when Bobby had finished his speech. He had it in mind that he would come down and interact with the kids for a bit and then see them off. But now he knew Minnie was here, he couldn't find it in himself to disappear.
He stood next to Eddie, both of them only half listening to Bobby. Evan began to tap his foot, suddenly impatient for Bobby to finish so he could go over and talk to his girls.
Bobby couldn't have finished a moment too soon but he waved Hen over to have a quick chat to the group since she was a medic as well as a firefighter.
(Y/n) took that as her moment. She leaned forward and kissed Minnie's cheek, whispering in her ear quietly. "Let me go talk to Buck, then when Hen's finished, he's all yours. Okay?"
Minnie bubbled up excitedly and nodded, but she wouldn't look away from Hen just yet. Now she was interested just before the speeches were going to end.
Moving her hands to her knees, (Y/n) slowly pushed up from the floor that had turned her legs to jelly and made her knees harden like stone. She could feel her back clicking into place once she was up and she took a glance around the group before she moved towards Evan. Miss Harvey was stood near Bobby and the other two parents were stood off to one side, murmuring and smiling with Chimney. It would be fine for (Y/n) to talk to Evan, she would still be within close range of the kids in case they needed her.
(Y/n) ran her hand through her hair and moved over towards Evan who took a few steps away from Eddie to meet her at the side of the truck.
She noticed his eyes do a quick sweep around the station, making sure no one else - or the kids- were watching before he looped his arms around her waist and reeled her into his chest.
He ducked his head down and stole a kiss from her lips before she had chance to panic and look around as if they were teens trying not to get caught in school. His lips tasted like cherry cola and his fingers felt heavenly, squeezing into her hips while his chest leaned down into hers like he was trying to tilt (Y/n) backwards or lay her down on the floor.
She brought her hands up to cup the sides of his neck, smoothing her thumbs up and down behind his ears until he was shivering.
Their temples pressed together when they parted and the grin that lit up his face made Evan look like one of the school kids. A quiet "Hi," whispered from his lips into hers and he nudged the end of his nose along hers until (Y/n) was smiling and shaking her head.
"You didn't tell me you were coming here."
"It was a surprise."
"Well colour me surprised⌠I bet you didn't tell Minnie either, did you?" The hint of a smirk pulled at his lips while he let go of her hips so he could loop his arms fully around her waist and tug her closer until every ridge of her body was pressed up against him.
"Course I didn't, she'd of been screaming your name all day if I told her." As much as (Y/n) loved her daughter's enthusiasm, she didn't think everyone would appreciate Minnie's hyperness if she knew they were coming to see Evan.
The four year old would have been bouncing off the walls, telling everyone and proudly shouting Evan's name until they got here. At least this way both she and Evan got a lovely surprise and it stopped Minnie from getting worked up like a sugar rush.
"Well, I'm glad you're all at our station. I'll show you round in a bit." He leaned forward and pecked her temple, smiling to himself when (Y/n) buried her head beneath his chin and kissed his neck causing a shiver to roll down his spine.
He kept her burrowed away into his chest for a few more seconds, savouring the moment until he noticed Hen had finished her talk and the kids were starting to get up.
He knew Minnie would be heading their way any second now and then Evan would happily show her and a few of the kids around and answer any of their strange questions. He let his arms loosen around (Y/n) just enough for her to spin around in his hold so her back was snuggled into his chest and both of them were looking at the kids.
Minnie was stood with two other kids while the rest of them split up into groups and followed after Hen or Bobby.
Her hands began to itch at her sides and she couldn't stop herself from smiling when she looked over towards her mum and Evan. He was here. This was where he worked. This was the fire truck he drove and maybe the one that landed on his leg too. This was his other home that he was always telling her about.
"Is that your dad, the fireman?" Amber kept her chin tilted down and feebly pointed towards Evan. She had seen him with Minnie at school a few times, and Minnie did tell them last week that her dad was a fireman.
A beaming smile lit up Minnie's face as a rush of adrenaline flooded her stomach and she began to fidget from foot to foot. She nodded and pointed over at Evan which caught his attention and made him smile in her direction. And he watched as Minnie trotted towards him, both Amber and Miles in tow behind her.
"Yeah. That's my daddy."
Evan couldn't breathe.
All the air in his lungs suddenly evaporated; his lungs turned into balloons which popped and shrivelled up in his chest. His jaw hung open and his lips became dryer than the desert, but he couldn't find anything to say.
Minnie had never called him that before. When they first met, she used to call him Mister quite a lot, then when they became closer, she started calling him Buck. Even though she heard (Y/n) call him Evan, she never tried to call him that, it had always been Buck so far. She had never called him dad before or pointed him out and named him her dad to other people.
But what else could he be? What else could she call him when she saw him almost every day? He took her to school, he picked her up when she fell over, he tucked her in bed and took her out and went to the doctors with her and (Y/n). He introduced her to everyone as his 'little mouse' or 'my girl'.
And just a few weeks ago after Minnie commented that he was always telling (Y/n) that he loved her, he started to tell Minnie he loved her too. He never wanted to say that before in case it upset her or made her feel uneasy but just seeing her face light up when he told her, meant the whole world to Evan.
"My turn." Minnie held her arms out towards Evan, suddenly breaking him out of his trance.
He realised he was shaking when he unravelled his arms from (Y/n) who looked like she was on the verge of tears. Her hand moved to his shoulder while he leaned down and scooped Minnie up so he could cuddle her into his chest.
Her arms looped around his neck and Evan breathlessly kissed her cheek while he did his best to ward off the burning sensation behind his eyes that were threatening to spill tears. God, he hoped Minnie wasn't just saying this because her friends were nearby. He hoped that when he got home from work tonight, she would still call him that.
He hoped tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after, that Minnie was still going to call him her dad. He hoped she would introduce him to everyone as her dad. He could just see himself telling people he had a little girl, he could imagine showing the guys her picture and proudly saying that was his daughter.
"Hi, are you being good, little mouse?" He kissed her cheek again when she wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled in close to him as she nodded and hummed.
His eyes darted from Minnie to (Y/n) when he suddenly realised that maybe, (Y/n) might not be happy about this sudden revelation.
Evan remembered the conversation they had not long after they started dating. He remembered every word of that chilling conversation where (Y/n) told him about Minnie's biological dad. Minnie had never met him, he didn't even know she existed.
Minnie had been the reason (Y/n) got out of her abusive relationship with her ex. She managed to get away from him and moved in with her sister until she found a place of her own. And Evan remembered everything (Y/n) told him about what her ex had done. There was no way (Y/n) could stay with him if she had Minnie and to protect Minnie, (Y/n) hadn't named anyone in the father's section on her birth certificate.
It suddenly occurred to Evan that maybe (Y/n) wouldn't be happy about this. Maybe she wouldn't want Minnie to have a dad or call someone her dad. But Minnie had never known her dad, she had grown up thinking she just didn't have one and that had been fine until Evan walked into their lives and changed their perspectives.
But the way (Y/n) smiled and the single tear that rolled down her face told Evan she wasn't displeased at all. She was thrilled.
She stood close to Amber and Miles in case they had any questions or wanted to go and take a look around. But Miles took a step forward towards Evan and gingerly tugged on his trouser leg to gain his attention.
"Did a truck really land on your leg?"
Surprise flooded Evan's eyes and his jaw hung loose again while he tried to think how to respond to that. But all that came to mind was the fact that clearly, Minnie had been talking about him. She had been telling her friends what Evan did for a living and about his accident. Clearly she loved him enough to want to brag about him and talk about him to her class. and that thought melted Evan's heart.
Evan looked between Minnie who had her cheek pressed into his shoulder, and the young boy who was staring at both his legs intently. He looked like he wanted to pull on Evan's trousers and peek beneath them at his legs. And Evan would bet that the young boy thought Evan might have some kind of prosthetic.
"Uh, yeah, yeah it did." He nodded and leaned backwards a little so Minnie could rest better against his chest.
"Wow. So- so you're like superman?"
"Well, not qui-"
"Yeah he is! Show him your leg, daddy." Minnie wriggled around in his arms, shimmying down his chest a little until she could grab at the waistband of his trousers.
For a dreaded second, Evan thought she was going to undo his belt and try to pull his pants down to show his scar. But she only tugged on his pant leg to get him to take the hint. She wanted him to pull the pant leg up so he could show Miles his scars.
Evan rolled his lips together to supress a smile and juggled Minnie in his right arm so that he could scrunch his trouser leg up in his other hand. He pulled it up towards his knee, showing just enough of his tattered, scarred leg to make Miles gasp and grin like he'd seen one of the seven wonders of the world.
The young boy simply stared at Evan's leg, unable to look away even when Evan rolled down his trouser leg again.
He carefully leaned forward and planted Minnie back down on her feet, but when she clutched his hand and held it to her chest, he smiled. He stayed slightly stooped over so she could keep hold of him while (Y/n) looked between Miles and Amber.
"Alright, who wants to look round the fire trucks?"
When the pair of them nodded, (Y/n) guided them over towards Miss Harvey and Bobby who were with five other kids looking round the first fire truck. She noticed Hen guide the other half of the class towards the ambulance to let them take a look around and show them what each appliance and equipment piece was.
Once the pair of them were back with the group, following Bobby's lead like he had put them all under a trance, (Y/n) slowly headed back over to Evan and Minnie. Her hands moved up and down her sides to try and remain calm, but she didn't know what to do with herself.
Minnie had never asked about her dad before, and (Y/n) had always been grateful. She was always relieved her daughter never wondered why she didn't seem to have a father figure or why she didn't have a dad to come and visit her and take her out like other kids. She seemed content just to have (Y/n).
And she had been so happy that Minnie took to Evan so easily and attached herself to him. But somehow, (Y/n) still didn't think that Minnie would want to call Evan her dad, not yet anyway.
She smiled as she approached them and crouched down in front of Minnie who was still clinging to Evan's hand that she seemed to have confiscated and pinned to her chest.
Her hands reached out to hold Minnie's waist and tug her closer while Evan shimmied his hand out of her hold so he could rest his hand on her back instead.
"So⌠you, you've got a new name for Buck?" When Minnie didn't answer, Evan crouched down beside her so they were all level.
"You've never called me that before, mouse."
The way she looked down at her shoes made Evan's heart flip. She looked so sweet, so innocent and worried as if she thought she might have done something wrong by calling him her dad. It would never be something bad in their eyes, but both (Y/n) and Evan would have thought they would of gotten some warning first. Which made them wonder why Minnie had suddenly come out with it today of all days.
"Everyone was talking about their dads, so⌠so can't you be mine?" Minnie shifted a little so she could go back to holding Evan's hand and she started to sway it back and forth between them like their hands were some kind of swing or a toy to be entertained.
For a few seconds, Evan focused on controlling his breathing so he didn't go into a fluttering panic. And he looked to the left, locking his eyes on (Y/n) so he could gauge her face for a reaction.
This wasn't his question to answer, it was hers. He couldn't overstep the mark or set the boundaries, it had to be (Y/n)'s choice no matter how thrilled Evan was that Minnie clearly wanted this.
When (Y/n) nodded, Evan felt like his heart had exploded in his chest and a tingling sensation shot through his arms right down to his fingertips. He let a soft grin overtake his features and he reached out for Minnie, unhooking their hands so he could hold her sides and gently twist her in his direction.
"I'd love to."
He braced his knees and levelled his weight out in his boots when Minnie slammed into his chest and deadlocked her arms around his neck.
The sweetest smile (Y/n)had ever seen fluttered across Evan's lips and she couldn't help but lean forward to kiss that smile and see if it was as sweet and sugary as it looked. She smoothed her hand up and down his shoulder before she glanced over to the left when she heard Miss Harvey switching the groups around. They wouldn't be here for much longer before they all would be getting ready to leave.
"Let's go take a look at the trucks then, baby, let dad get back to work." It felt strange to say but somehow, it rolled off the tongue like magic.
"Off you go, I'll see you when I finish work tonight, okay?" Evan pecked her cheek when she finally untangled herself from him and he couldn't help but kiss her temple too as he pushed up to stand tall once again. He murmured a soft "See you soon," in (Y/n)'s ear, dancing his fingertips along her hip while he kissed her quick.
"Bye daddy," Minnie cast a quick look over her shoulder, one hand tangled with (Y/n)'s and her other hand waving across to Evan as if he couldn't spot her in the small crowd.
His smile brightened and his breaths came out shaky as he waved back at her, his other hand tucked into his pocket while he leaned back against the pillar.
Their fire house had been taken off all calls for two hours, dispatch was redirecting all calls to the nearby stations so no calls came through and disrupted the school fieldtrip. That meant Evan still had a while to mill about the station and tidy up or get a drink and amuse himself until the kids left and they were allowed to take calls again.
And it felt like a good thing that they weren't going out on any calls at the moment because Evan was running on a high. Adrenaline was fueling his system and he felt like he had taken an overdose with how lightheaded he was. It felt like he was walking on cloud nine and he didn't ever want to come down from this feeling.
The smile wouldn't leave his lips and his head tilted to one side while he watched both girls head back over to the group and follow Bobby who was showing them all the different compartments and aspects of the truck.
"What's got you smiling?" Chimney brought his cup of coffee to his lips and raised a brow when he looked up at Evan. There was an unusually happy smile on his face, even for him, and it had Chimney looking round the station to try and find out what was so funny.
But he wasn't prepared for the answer as Evan slouched down against the pillar, dipping his chin towards his chest as a blush started to taint his cheeks.
"My daughter."

killshot, baby
Pairing: Aaron Hotch x Doctor!Fem!reader Cw: Fluff (for real this time), LONGING (this is literally 9k words of pure yearning idek how I did that), mentions of blood, Hotch gets shot, Jack being adorable, Jack gets injured too :(, no explicit age gap, this is just rlly cute idk it's sweet I love Hotch so much I need him Summary: When you get hired as the BAU's stand-by medic, the team leader ends up being the hardest part of your job. Disclaimer: Reader is chubby! She's always fat coded, but like usual she's not described here. Just know a chubby person was imagined when writing this <3 WC: 9k (Hotch is the love of my life I could go on about him forever) This is definitely not medically accurate, please just enjoy for the sake of the story. I LOVE HOTCH I WANNA SMOOCH HIM
As weird as it was, band aids were the thing you remembered most from your childhood. You grew up as a canvas for any sort of scrape, cut, or bruise. Any wound that made your parents feel mildly worried to utterly terrified were ones that decorated your body frequently. You never tried to assign any meaning to why you became a doctor, simply crediting it as your call to the profession - to people. If you had to, though, your consistently bruised adolescent body is the best root cause you could think of. It seemed only right that the kid who couldnât keep her skin in tact would grow to love helping others. You liked to think thatâs how you kept your head an average size. Your bosses and co-workers had raved about your abilities no matter the job you took, and after a while you had to start prioritizing keeping your humility. You had started as just a kid with bruises.Â
You tended to ground yourself with those same memories in times like this. For as long as youâd worked in the hospital, you held some disdain for agents. You saw many federal ones, being so close to the HQ for divisions like Behavioral Analysis, but some locals swung by too. Youâd had far too many experiences of them being snappy, demanding, and usually inconsiderate to the team of people trying to save someone. You understood the individuals you were committed to helping often got there by doing monstrous things, but demanding to talk to someone when they were bleeding out and half-conscious always forced your tongue between your teeth in an effort to stay respectful. Especially now, pushing a stretcher with 3 other workers while trying to shake off the feds trailing after him. You recognized them, Agents Rossi and Hotchner, if you remembered correctly.Â
âWeâll need to talk to him immediately.â The man - Rossi, you assumed, seeing as he was going gray and had less of a charge fueling his steps - spoke quickly as the two men followed your team.
âBe here when heâs out of surgery.â You didnât bother to look back, trying to convey your annoyance and praying they got the hint.Â
âHeâs killed three women and has another one hostage. We donât have time.â The other one piped up, easily keeping pace with you.
Abandoning your previous strategy, you let your team push the man into the operating room, shutting the door behind them and whipping around to face the duo. âI understand that, sir, believe me.â You were more elevated than you would have liked, years of unease unfortunately slipping through your efforts to withhold them. âBut whatever happened when you found him left him barely breathing. You canât speak to a corpse. Youâll have your time when heâs stable. Go do your job and let me do mine.â You tensed your calves planning to turn around, but quickly felt the guilt catch up to you. âIâll call you if he wakes up.â
âIf?âÂ
You sighed. You hated profilers. âIâll call you.âÂ
âCall the headquarters.â He was scribbling down a number on the back of a hospital business card. âAsk for Agent Hotch. Weâll be waiting.â You nodded your head once, taking the card from his hands. He started walking away as he thanked you. âWe appreciate it.â Sure.
â
The surgery to save the man had been a trip and half. One of the bullets had internally ricocheted, and the other two were lodged next to crucial arteries. You praised your mother for giving you steady hands as you inched them out of him. It took you and your team six hours and fifteen minutes to get his heartbeat steady, you estimated heâd be knocked out all night. You should call, you thought. You had no idea how late these people worked but they were more than likely expecting to talk tonight and you didnât know if thatâd be possible. You fished the card out of your pocket, his handwriting was impressively neat for how fast heâd written the number. You heard the line ring twice before someone picked up.Â
âThis is Penelope Garcia with the Behavioral Analysis Unit, who am I speaking to?â
âUh- Iâm Dr. L/n down at Quantico Med. Iâm looking for Agent Hotch?â Your words tilted up at the end of your sentence. The casual nature of his shortened name left a weird feeling in your mouth after you said it. âI have an update on a patient he was asking after.â
âIs this about an unsub?âÂ
âA what?â She lacked professionalism. You wondered briefly if he had just given you the phone number of an employee.
âIâm sorry-â she laughed slightly. âIs this about a suspect? Hotch told me someone might be calling.â
âUm - yeah itâs about a suspect. He was brought in earlier. Is Agent Hotch there? Iâm sorry maâam but I've been in an operating room for the past 6 hours and I want to go home.â You hoped sheâd respect your honesty, you really didnât have the patience to explain yourself to someone new.Â
She chuckled. âI got you honey, Iâll page you over.â The line went dead for a second before the ringing resumed. Please be quick, you prayed, get me out of this fucking hospital.
âHotchner.â His voice was rougher over the phone. You guessed the long hours started to weigh on him by this time of night. You always felt it the most around this time, too.
âHi, sir. This is Dr. L/n from the hospital. We managed to stabilize your guy, but itâs unlikely heâll be up before tomorrow. I know it was assumed heâd be awake tonight but it took longer to operate than expected.â Your guys put 3 bullets in him, so sorry for the inconvenience. âIâll be here all day tomorrow. You can come by at any time and Iâll let you in.â
âAre you positive we canât talk to him tonight? I understand the situation is difficult but this case is extremely time sensitive. Iâm sure thatâs not lost on you.â You cursed the man for not being more condescending in his delivery. Thinking of the poor person either trapped or dead right now due to the guy you just saved made you sick.Â
âI know.â Fucking hell. âI can wake him up.â A quarter dose of adrenaline works wonders. âBe here in fifteen minutes. You wonât have much time to talk to him.â
âThank you.â He hung up. You put your head in your hands. Just a little kid with bruises.
âÂ
The layout of the BAU made you envious of the workers here. Youâre sure theyâd dealt with atrocities beyond what the average person could stomach, but you also worked within the belly of the beast and man were those hospital hallways claustrophobic. The daylight shone beautifully through the large windows, and you asked yourself if youâd be able to cope with all the paperwork in exchange for a feel like this. There werenât any front desks, nowhere to sign in, so you sat in one of the chairs by the door and waited to see if something would happen. You had been specifically requested to visit the building , a note signed âStraussâ being left with the hospital secretary. You didnât like being called on by a stranger, it made you nervous beyond belief. Youâre sure anyone walking by assumed you were being charged with something. Sweating like a sinner in church.
âDr. L/n?â A woman was standing near you, having completely avoided your eyesight until now. âIâm the board supervisor, Erin Strauss. Thank you for coming.â The woman was nice enough, but she seemed rigid, clearly confident in her authority. She led you to her office and gestured to the chair facing her desk.
âIâll cut right to the chase.â She smoothed her pencil skirt as she sat down. âThe BAU is seeking a stand-by medic and Iâd like to offer you the position. Youâre revered highly by your previous places of employment and your current boss has only good things to say. Along with a personal reference by an employee of mine, youâre certainly a person of interest. Youâd be working interchangeably with three other individuals, however you would be the first one called when needed.â
That is definitely not what you were expecting. You were almost immediately ready to turn down the offer. You didnât work well with cops. You worked well in a hospital, going into the field to patch the wounds of both good and evil was a less than appealing deal to you.Â
âYouâd be on call while you worked your current position at Quantico Medical, when youâre at home you can remain there, but youâll be flying with the rest of the team when they leave. You will be entered into a federal database, and employed as a stand-in for hospitals near you when working abroad.â She went on to explain youâd be paid salary, and when you heard just how much you could add to your monthly income by doing this, you took it. You were doing fine, you definitely didnât need the financial boost, but you had family that could use it. Your niece had been close to turning down college because of the cost, so some extra money could really set her up.Â
âExcellent. Youâll start your field training next Monday.â She was shuffling papers into a hefty stack as she talked. âCome back when youâve finished this and Iâll arrange a team meeting.â The stack was even heavier than you expected when you picked it up. It was far too early to be regretting your decision.Â
â
The first day of training had been easy enough. You werenât an agent, so you avoided having to learn weapons or combat. It generally consisted of learning efficiency, along with how to work properly with agents and the expected etiquette when dealing with an unsub. You had met the team only once by now. Everyone had been nice - Garcia especially - but aside from her nobody had been particularly welcoming. The conditions of your job were a bit strange, basically capitalizing on the what ifs that came with the FBI title, and that created a bit of distance between you and the rest of the team. They questioned the necessity of you, theyâd survived this long without a stand-by medic with them, why did they need one now?
Above any disregard for those in law enforcement sat your stubbornness. You knew they were on the fence about you, the most logical thing for you to do now would be attend every session required of you and prove yourself through pure accomplishment. Easy in theory, much harder to execute when Aaron Hotch is the one youâre learning from. He was a good teacher - youâd give him that - he had a confidence to him that easily dominated a room, attracted eyes in a way other men couldnât manage. Youâd ignored the initial stir in your stomach when meeting him in favor of attempting to scold him and his partner. Now, it was much harder to quell the slight pound in your head or the sweat on your palms. He was just standing up front, lecturing on the importance of a team, but his attire was the only thing able to break through the haze in your mind. Every time heâd shown up at the hospital, heâd donned a suit, a slightly baggy blazer worked incredibly well as a shield to your curiosity. That had clearly changed, as he shed the overcoat when talking to the class, having just a white button up adorn his torso. You took notice of the rolled up sleeves, clearing your throat quietly to snap yourself back into focus. You had the intention of snuffing out this little thing of yours but were a living contradiction at this point, setting on the goal of avoidance while barely ignoring the sight of the veins on his arms. You pondered the thought of sleeping with some man at a bar just to get this out of your system, but remembered how little projecting attraction onto someone else helps a situation. In other words, you were probably fucked.
âÂ
The first mission you worked with the team had you flying to a tiny Georgia town to investigate a string of bodies being found in ransacked homes. It seemed to be a simple motive, robbery turned to murder, but the team was called down to help once the kill count hit five. You had been expecting a long commercial flight, figuring youâd need to invest in a good neck pillow and some aspirin. Nobody had bothered to inform you the Bureau utilized private air travel, or that youâd be flying in one with people youâd known for two weeks. Youâre sure you looked a little out of place, looking around the plane without being obvious you were doing it and adjusting to the sight of couches on planes. The others, having had this privilege for years now, took their respective seats. You had been nervous about that, unfortunately. The unsure feeling of where to sit reminding you painfully of high school cafeterias and inferior reputations. The only open seat happened to be right next to the man youâd been ducking away from the past two weeks. Lovely. He took a moment to look at you when you sat. You were prepared to talk to him, but for now you busied yourself with rummaging through your bag looking for nothing and pretending not to see him in your peripherals.
âDo you get sick on planes?â He seemed to have a deeper motive when he asked, like you saying yes would solve a puzzle in his head.
âNot really.â Youâd only been on a plane a handful of times. âTurbulence can make me nervous, but I think thatâs fairly normal.â You thought momentarily that perhaps he would blame your obvious anxiety on that instead of his proximity to you. He was a profiler, youâre sure he picked up on tells for nerves you werenât even aware you had, but maybe heâd write it off. âWhy do you ask?â
âYou seemâŚâ He trailed off for a moment, looking over your face to try and categorize your expression. âI donât know, lost?â He smiled, light and easy, and you realized he was trying to reach out to you. The comfortability in the gesture made your head spin. It was like a shot of morphine, enveloping your body in a dull elation - an escape. You wanted that comfortability, wanted him to feel weightless around you. There had been a certain tension between the two of you since you started. He was warmer than the rest, but also more awkward. Your first real interaction had been an outburst, and it left you hesitant to talk to him.Â
You chuckled at his remark. âNo I -â You shook your head as you spoke, as if shaking off his accusation. âNobody told me about the jet. Youâd think exclusive aircraft would be in the job predecessor.â
He nodded in agreement, holding a slight upturn on his lips. âYes, you would.â He glances away to check the time, looking back to you quickly like you were his homebase. âStrauss has a habit of getting ahead of herself. Plus, weâre all pretty used to it by now. I have to remind her sometimes that normal provisions donât have a TI.â
âIâm sure.â It was clear sheâd worked with the unit for a while. âEven if they did, though, theyâd never find another Garcia.â You thought of the woman, bright and sparkly and incredibly good at her job. âYou guys are lucky to have her.â
He stared at you, losing a hint of the lightheartedness and letting a wave of genuinity intertwine with it. âYou have her too, Y/n.â His eyes were like a trap, rich pools of honey just begging to tug you down in. âYouâre a member of this team. Donât think your newness makes you inferior to anyone else on it. Weâre lucky to have you too.â
Fuck, you were whipped. âI really appreciate that, sir.â
He smiled, shaking his head and waving you off. âDonât with the sir, please. Itâs bad enough when Garcia does it. You can call me Aaron.â Not even the other team members called him that, a thought that seemed to strike you both simultaneously. âOr Hotch, whatever you prefer.â
You just looked at him, letting a smile rouse your lips and trying your hardest not to let the effect he had on you reach your face. âOk.â
â
The first case had been good training wheels, simply tending to a vic who needed stitches and getting a feel for the life of a field agent. Youâd been adjusting nicely to it, quickly getting used to working random hospitals and waiting to be needed on an active crime scene. The others had warmed up to you tremendously after getting back, opening their circle for one more, and you couldnât be more grateful. A team like this was something youâd wanted for a while, growing more and more unsatisfied with the callous ER workspace by the day. Ironically, there was much more life in jobs dealing with murder. He had also been warming up to you. The two of you hit the status of work-place friends nearly instantly. The endearing encounter on the plane simmered inside you for a while. The memory of it prompting you to keep talking to him, always searching for a fix of the painkiller youâd felt that day.Â
You werenât a profiler, but you were unfathomably infatuated, leading you to never miss his tone getting softer with you, or any one of his touches that lingered for just a second too long. It just barely bypassed the line of friendship, but you never lost sight of that linear barrier, so it was incredibly prevalent to you when he breached it. You scoffed at the idea of any reciprocity, brushing off every remark made by a coworker or the one horrific time you heard JJ refer to the two of you as âmom and dad.â This wasnât a plausible thing. This was a stupid workplace crush that was more of a hindrance than anything. The growing closeness between you and him would have itâs effects properly restrained to the confines of your head, only permitted to express themselves once you were away from the man. It was an odd dynamic, but Aaron wasnât an obvious guy, so trying to define the edges of you two would only draw attention to the fact you had been looking at all. No thank you.
âShit.â The team was sitting around the table going over their files. You were mainly there for support, as you were never a part of the lead up to the catch, the chase. You heard Hotch mumble the exclamation under his breath and looked over to see the trouble. He was looking down at his phone, jaw resting between his thumb and pointer finger. You got up and moved to sit next to him, the motion virtually ignored by everyone else as they continued searching for connections.
âEverything ok?â You mumbled to him, trying not to disturb your friends who were nearly nose-deep in their files.Â
âYeah.â He sighed. âJackâs sitter canceled. I wanted to stay here to go over the latest crime scene but I guess Iâll have to raincheck.â The killings of your latest unsub had been increasing. You knew the collective stress that was starting to boil within the team. Him going home would only slow them down, a horrible addition to a killer that was speeding up.Â
You volunteered your night away before you even got a chance to think about it.Â
âI can watch him.âÂ
Surprise was apparent in the raise of his eyebrows. âI appreciate it, but I couldnât ask that of you.
Youâre fairly certain you would do anything he asked of you, but the nobility of the man in this case almost made you roll your eyes. âNo, please. I offered and I would love to. Iâm not helping anyone just sitting here, and you leaving would slow them down. You know what to look for here, I donât. I donât want another girl going missing just cause your sitter flaked. I can do it.â
He seemed mildly speechless. âI -â He paused, trying to find the wording he wanted. âI suppose youâre right. Iâll send you the address, if youâre sure.â He looked at you with more adoration than youâd ever had directed at you, so intense your eyes instinctively ducked down. âThank you, Y/n.â He was so touched by the action it made you slightly sad to think about. Had no one ever helped him? Maybe you were raised weird, this seemed hardly beyond common decency to you.Â
âWhat are friends for?â He exhaled a slight laugh in gratuitous agreement, but you saw the glimmer of his eyes dull slightly. The notion surely reflected in your own eyes as the words burned your tongue. Friends.
â
Jack was a delight. A well mannered, clearly well raised kid. Parts of his dad shined so vibrantly in him that youâre sure youâd be able to pick him out of a crowd based on mannerisms alone. Hotch had called Jackâs daycare, verifying your identity and giving you the ok to go pick him up. He seemed quiet on the way home, but rushed to give you a tour of the house, and excitedly led you to his line up of toy trains once youâd entered the place. There was a shift between you and Hotch that happened when you gave the offer. A shift that was now only just settling in you. This was his house. His space, his stuff, his place of security. Heâd invited you into it, gave you permission to enter it, to exist within it, and it was strangely intoxicating. He was intoxicating, and you realized quickly how much you ached for the permanence of it. Youâd made Jack dinner, played for a bit, went out for ice cream per his pleading, and wished him a peaceful goodnight when his bedtime rolled around. Heâd dubbed you his âbest babysitter everâ and you knew as soon as the words hit your ears that youâd be watching him again. Youâre sure situations like today popped up frequently for Hotch, you could be a valuable asset to him when you had free time. He would be saving money too. No need to pay a sitter when you were being paid by the Bureau every second you were there. Aaron had gotten home a few minutes past one, utterly exhausted and uncharacteristically apologetic. He was sorry for being gone so long, making you stay so late, everything and anything the man could apologize for was pouring out of his mouth. Heâd welcomed you to stay, but his hair was messy from messing with it all night, and heâd ditched the suit jacket for a gray long sleeve. Youâd wanted to take the opportunity, wanted to bask in the safety of him for as long as heâd allow it, but those restrained thoughts were clawing the walls of your skull with a vigor unlike anything youâd felt before. It would be abhorrent to dream about the man while in the confines of his home. You couldnât do that - you wouldnât. You brushed off any apology he could conjure and let him escort you out the door. His hand was on your lower back, and his voice was low from the siphoning nature of the day.Â
âThank you, again.â He looked at you. âYouâre a lifesaver.â Youâd expected to hear some humor in his voice. The start of banter between friends, a casual appreciation for a job well done, but there wasnât any. He sounded rough, slightly beat down, his eyes filled with a sincerity all aimed at you. A blend of pure adoration and a deeper level of dedication. Was this a commitment? What kind?
Heat bubbled in your stomach as you made eye contact. âPlease.â You shook your head slightly. âJackâs an angel. Youâre clearly as good at this as you are profiling.â You nodded in the vague direction of Jackâs bedroom as you referenced the kid. âIt was my pleasure. Iâd love to do it again, if youâll let me.âÂ
He sighed out a small laugh and broke your gaze for a moment, looking back to you as he spoke. âIâd like that.â
â
Youâd seen Jack a multitude of times after that. Aaron was never particularly fond of asking you, claiming that he appreciated the gesture but it was mainly Jackâs begging that made him cave. That, and your persistence. You liked Jack a lot, and more selfishly, you liked being around Aaronâs stuff. It was a little creepy, yes, but you felt better acquainted with him after being around his things. An energetic type of understanding, the type that deepened a connection without words. He was needed late tonight, and as much as you hated denying an offer to see Jack, you had priorities at the hospital. The previous sitter wasnât able to watch him, so she gave a personal recommendation, and Jack got stuck with a stranger. You thought about him while working, probing and patching people half-focused with the desire to be elsewhere. Youâd felt mildly guilty about it, but itâs not like it altered your work, so you figured it was harmless.Â
You wondered slightly if you manifested the event you were watching play out. You watched in pure disbelief as a sobbing Jack was being carried into the ER by a flustered blonde woman. There was blood staining the right sleeve of his shirt, pouring out of his skin in a surplus and completely soaking through the material. A jagged piece of glass was standing at attention in his wrist, having sliced through the fabric like butter. He was marked âurgent,â who knows if the shard had hit an artery or where the glass had come from.Â
Most other doctors were busy, either operating or tending to patients. Youâd walked to the front desk, remaining as calm as your racing heart would let you, and told the secretary to assign the case to you. âI know this one. Let me take him.â She just nodded, marking your name down as the primary doctor and allowing you to take him back.Â
Walking up to the blonde woman, you assumed this had been the new babysitter. She was a wreck, trying to explain what happened through her own hysteria while simultaneously having her words drowned out by the crying child. âItâs ok, maâam.â Youâd reassured her, obviously she hadnât intended the injury. âLet me take him, Iâm a friend of his father.â You saw the calmness dilate her eyes, making itself apparent in the relaxation of her tense shoulders. You removed the bleeding boy from her arms, holding him against you and cooing at him the way you would a baby. You took him to a stretcher a few feet away and laid him down, ensuring his wounded arm stayed flat in an attempt to slow the blood. He was on the brink of passing out, his body not having nearly enough energy for the sobbing on top of losing vital fluid. âJack.â You addressed him directly, two more doctors aiding your transfer to an examination room. âI need you to stay with me, buddy. Just a little longer, I promise. Youâre gonna be just fine.â You pushed with one hand, caressing his non-injured arm to emphasize your affection. âJust a little longer.â You looked at him in between looking forward to keep the stretcher straight, seeing that same adoration from his fatherâs eyes mirrored in his. You felt protective, realizing you cared for the Hotchners much more than you let yourself believe. Little kid with bruises, you skimmed through your origins in your mind in an attempt to center your focus. Just a little kid with bruises.
Two hours later, Jack was stitched up and sleeping soundly. You knew his sitter had called Hotch, probably as soon as something happened, and were not surprised to find him idle in a waiting room chair. He was leaned forward, head in his hands and knee bouncing violently. He heard footsteps getting closer, a feeling within him recognizing them as yours, and he looked up. His eyes were teary, tired. The look of a concerned father.
âHow is he?â Youâd never witnessed this type of worry in him, heard the amount of desperation in his voice.
You smiled lightly as a predecessor to Jackâs wellbeing. âHeâs fine. Glass missed his arteries. We had him patched up in around an hour and a half. Gave him a lollipop and a light sedative to get him to rest. He should be all set to go in the morning.âÂ
He sighed, and the amount of stress that audibly left his body made you feel a little lighter from where you stood. âThank God.â
âHey man, give us a little credit.â You joked, relieved when you heard the slight laugh come from his downturned head. Pity laugh, probably, but it was a cherished sound nonetheless.Â
âYou have full credit, Y/n.â He shook his head, raising it to look at you. âQuite the hero.â
You almost physically recoiled from the term, rushing to correct him while maintaining the lighthearted nature. âDefinitely not.â You rejected the praise. âJust doing my job. Iâm glad I could help him.â
He leaned back in his chair, relaxing for a second before he planned to stand up. âNoble.â He chuckled. âBut you helped my son. Thatâs about as heroic as it gets to me, doc.â
Blood rushed to your ears at your professional title being used so affectionately. âGo check on your kid, Hotch.â You waved back towards the direction of Jack, knowing that even though he was asleep, heâd want to see him anyway. You also hoped the slight distraction would draw his attention away from your increasingly flustered state. âYouâll have plenty of time to praise me.â You werenât entirely sure youâd wanted the sentence to exit your mouth, but it was too late to bite your tongue.
He raised his eyebrows so slightly that you scolded yourself for having noticed. Such a minuscule action that seemed to move mountains within your brain. âOh?â
âShut up.â You rolled your eyes at your own remark. âIâm walking away. You know what I meant.â
âMhm.â He smiled, nodding his head dramatically and rising from his seat. âJust name a time and place, doc. Iâll do good on that promise.â
You went momentarily braindead, hoping your eyes werenât giving away the less than work appropriate feeling pumping through your veins. You stared baffled at him for what was definitely a millisecond too long before giving a half-shocked, half-flattered laugh and gesturing him away. âSay that when youâre not obviously sleep deprived and delirious and maybe we can arrange it.â The last thing you heard was him, laughing the way you do when youâre very serious but desperately trying to pass it off as a joke. You knew it well, having done it almost every time you were around him since you started. Comfortable, witty retorts between friends. âHave a good night, Aaron.âÂ
Aaron, he thought. Heâd remember that.
âÂ
That had been the second shift between the two of you. Felt immediately by both parties and tossing you both into the deep end of whatever youâd been building with him. Heâd been much more touchy, seemingly subconscious on his part but noticed by every part of your body, mind, and soul. You thought about what it could mean, then sunk even further into your incoherent mind when realizing just how subconscious the actions really were. He was just drawn to you. You had viscerally fought that conclusion as it came to you but it genuinely could not be anything else. He was touching you more because - whether on the surface or deeper down - he just wanted to, and that fact was wrecking you. You were so fucking into him that it hurt. Hurt to look at him or be in his home watching Jack or have his knee pressed against yours in the back of car during a team outing. It all hurt because he wasnât yours. He seemed into you, too. Of course, you didnât know to what extent. You worried maybe he hadnât said anything yet because he simply didnât like you enough, and that hurt more than any other factor. It was a foolish notion - one you would have abandoned instantly had you peeked inside his head - but alas, no such luck.
Heâd been more relaxed, too. The two of you reaching a point in your relationship you hadnât ever let yourself dream about. He was funny, achieving that lightness around you that youâd wanted from the start. Heâd gotten riskier, amping up the dial on his remarks a bit. Starting with those like the hospital, ending with ones that made you have to take a breather in the room where they kept the coffee. It hadnât gone unnoticed, per say, but the others were certainly ignorant to the true depth of the change. You simply couldnât measure it by witnessing, you had to feel it. And fuck were you feeling it.Â
A week or so after Jackâs ER visit, youâd asked after him. You didnât know if the regret was immediate, but it flooded through you quickly. Aaron got nervous, shifty, like youâd touched a live wire of his and he now had to patch it up before it blew. You got concerned, asking if something happened with his stitches or if Jack was now showing some sort of trauma response to the event. Was that even plausible? You werenât sure, PTSD wasnât exactly your strong suit. However, he quickly stated that wasnât the case, noting that Jack was actually in perfect health and had been relentless about wanting you over for dinner.
âHeâs grateful.â Hotch was smiling with paternal reluctance, proud of his son for having such good morals but also uncomfortable with the possibility of rejection he was facing. âHe wants to see you, say thank you for âsaving his life.â He emphasized the last bit in a sarcastic tone, both of you knowing his life hadnât been in danger but also knowing that fact wouldnât deter the boy from considering you some type of guardian angel. âWould you be up for it?â If you hadnât been so focused on snuffing out the heat rushing to your face, you would have seen that same heat reflected in a slight pink across his cheeks.Â
âDefinitely.â You smiled at the thought of the boy bugging his dad about getting you to the house. âWhen were you thinking?â
âSaturday night?â Both of you were scheduled to be off that day, and you found yourself begging whatever merciful being would listen to not have some lead to chase that day. âHeâll want the day to prepare.â He chuckled.
âOh no.â You joked. Prepare? You couldnât even begin to imagine what that meant. âWell, I am extremely curious to find out what an eight year old boy has to prepare for. How about seven? Would that be good?â
Aaron felt his palms start to sweat. Heâd never actually been around his house when youâd been there, only seeing you on your way out. âThatâs perfect.â
âGreat.â You smiled, checking the time and realizing you needed to get going to the hospital. âIâm looking forward to it.â You nodded slightly as one last confirmation and headed out, suppressing a giddy smile while trying to force yourself into a headspace you could work in.Â
In the meantime, Aaron watched you walk off from where heâd been perched on your desk, entirely oblivious to the man watching the scene.
âAs I live and breathe.â Rossi had crept up on him, not spooking him but rather suspending him in a state of immeasurable embarrassment. âAaron Hotcher has a crush.â The man held his shoulder, patting him there like a father witnessing his son get his first girlfriend. âSheâs a good one. Quite the eye you got, Aaron.â Then he was gone, walking away with Aaronâs dignity clasped in his hands. Closing his eyes in pure mortification, Hotch simply thanked God that nobody else was around for that and walked away with the intention of fusing to his office chair to avoid ever looking at Rossi again. At least youâd said yes, he thought. He didnât know how heâd cope with his friend watching him swing and miss.
â
The daylight seemed to be anticipating this more than you were, hours passing by like minutes until eventually the sun woke you up on Saturday morning. It was blazing through the cracks in your blinds, settling in slim lines across your floor, as light and gentle as snow. Youâd been rehearsing your poker face in preparation for tonight. Writing safety manuals for any ungodly situation that could happen, everything from a fire to Aaron gaining the ability to read your mind and unearthing what you really thought about him. You were so happy that Jack held you in such high esteem, but your hands were shaking at the thought of sitting down with him and his father and acting like it wasnât the dynamic you fucking dreamt about. You knew it was a good sign of compatibility if someoneâs cat liked you - did their child liking you mean the same thing? You hoped Jackâs seemingly innate approval of you gave you at least a couple brownie points. Aaron had called you a hero. Swiftly ignoring the memory of what heâd said after he called you a hero, you pulled out your phone. You and him didnât really speak outside of work and babysitting schedules, but you were pacing around your room and needed something to give you a semblance of structure, a reassurance - even if it was just for the time. You texted, asking if you were still on for tonight, then went to go make breakfast and inevitably pace some more. Heâd gotten back to you about twenty minutes later, confirming the time and giving details of how excited Jack was about it. You smiled at that, praying tonight would be as smooth as humanly possible and you could walk away with an ounce of emotional control. You set an intention, this wouldnât deepen your feelings for Aaron. Was it a pointless goal? Yes. Was it also highly unlikely to prove true? Yes. But the loose plan you worked around the resolution almost completely extinguished the anxiety that had been blazing for hours now. It would be fine, you thought. Completely and utterly fine.Â
The same words were looping through your thoughts when you got to his front door. Casual - but still minorly more dressed up than heâd seen you. Youâd put a little extra effort into your appearance, mainly to pass the time if you were honest, and you walked in with mild confidence fueling your steps. You did your best not to ogle him, he was in an attire that was already threatening to unravel the safety net of the goal you set. You were used to the suits hidden beneath blazers you cursed the existence of, maybe a snippet of his forearms when he rolled up his sleeves late at night. Now, though, he sported a simple black tee, more comfortable than youâd ever seen him. Domesticity was practically oozing from the entire situation. You felt the pieces slip into place as Jack ran up behind him, and you almost cried with how badly you wanted this feeling to be your normal.Â
âHey, buddy.â You laughed as he hugged you, reciprocating the act as well as you could from the multiple feet you had on his height. âHowâs the arm?â
He raised up his wrist, now gauze free and proudly showed off the scar there. You played up the genuine admiration you felt for him. âThatâs a pretty gnarly scar.â He nodded in response, probably feeling cool for the evidence he handled such an injury. âI donât want to see you back in my operating room, you hear me? Scared the life out of us.â The scolding was playful, and he giggled at your words.
Aaron huffed in agreement, cocking his head to the side slightly. âYou can say that again.â Jack looked between you two, smiling and seemingly thinking something neither of you could decipher. To break the moment of silence, Aaron patted his shoulder. âWhy donât you tell her whatâs on the menu, buddy?â
He told you, and you hummed along to his words, commenting that it sounded delicious and actually meaning it. He ran away a second later - presumably back to whatever heâd been doing before you got there - and left you and Aaron alone. Venturing into the kitchen, you saw multiple pans and pots sitting neatly on the stove, table set and ready to be utilized. Everything was being kept warm, and you finally gained an appetite after having wrestled with nerves all day.Â
âDo you want a drink?â He asked it while entering the kitchen, pausing to look at you.Â
âPlease.â You were desperate to calm yourself, eager to subdue the shaking of your hands. âDo you have any wine?â You werenât the biggest fan, but you couldnât think of a drink more fitting for the evening.
He nodded slightly. âRed or white?â
âWhite.â
He chuckled. âThought so.â It was quiet, more to himself than you as he was already walking away from you when he said it. Heâd thought about what kind of wine you liked, you thought. Heâd thought about you. He pulled two wine glasses down from the cupboard, then walked over to the fridge. He reached above it, barely having to stretch, and pulled an uncorked bottle from the storage up there. You felt your legs tense looking at how tall he was, how sure he was of his actions. Jesus. Itâs been five minutes and you were crumbling. You watched his hands as he uncorked the bottle, reading the label and realizing the brand.
You furrowed your eyebrows. âSeems a little fancy for a dinner.â
He laughed under his breath as he finished pouring the glasses, walking back over to sit next to you on the island stools. âYouâre a guest of honor.â He placed yours in front of you. âI thought it was fitting.âÂ
You searched, but couldnât find the humor in his tone. You raised your eyebrows slightly. âAm I?â It was sarcastic, you needed to stop the heat in your stomach from spreading. âI didnât know doing your job earned such a title.â
He was drinking as you spoke, finishing his sip before joking back. âYouâre a doctor.â He said. âI thought you knew that better than anyone.â
You sucked air through your teeth as if wounded by his words. âTouche.â You took a sip of your drink, relishing the taste. Damn, he didnât come to play. He laughed, and you set your glass back down. âOk, I have to know.â He drew his attention to you. âWhat the hell did Jack need the day to prepare for?â The question had been on your mind since he asked you.
He took a drink, chuckling with a mouthful then swallowing so he could reply. âHe actually helped cook most of this.â He nodded towards the stove full of different dishes. âThat was what he needed the day for. Time for trial and error.â
You grinned at the thought of Jack and Aaron spending the day in aprons, making sure everything turned out perfect. âThat is the cutest thing Iâve ever heard.â
He looked back towards Jack, coloring in the living room, close enough to see but far enough to miss your discussions. âHe gets nervous around you.â
That surprised you. âWhy on Earth would he be nervous around me?â You took your turn looking at the boy, an idea hitting you and making you feel sick. âWait, I didnât do something did I?â
He looked back at you, smiling. âNo, no. Nothing like that. He gets nervous because he likes you. He knows who you are to me, too, so he wants to make a good impression.â
Your mind latched onto that sentence and played it like a broken record, bouncing between your ears over and over. âOh?â Your lips were curling up at the corners, eyebrows furrowing as you got ready to hold him to that statement. âAnd who might I be to you, Aaron?â
Fuck. Heâd let that slip past his lips without even thinking about it. So used to being in the confidential company of his son. Good thing he used to be a lawyer and could lie his ass off. âMost of his sitters arenât also my coworkers.â He delivered it the smoothest way he could, smiling and drinking to hopefully exude a false comfortability that he certainly wasnât feeling.
âMhm.â You narrowed your eyes at him, trying to look sarcastic but in truth downplaying the sting you felt. What if this had been one-sided all along? You hadnât prepped a safety guide for that.
Luckily, Jack came sprinting into the kitchen a second later, pleading with his father to eat now. Clinging to his leg and declaring how hunger was killing him by the second, dramatically threatening to wither away before your very eyes. You both shared a look, agreeing silently to put the kid out of his misery. The instinctual nature of the act hit you like a bolt of lightning. Both of you so in tune it was comical. The dinner had been lovely, and you reminded yourself to encourage Jack to keep up his cooking hobby. Maybe you could foster a professional chef. Youâd talked with them both, light and the happiest youâd felt in a while. There it was, you realized. That weightless feeling you wanted to give him. You felt it in yourself too, and you could only pray it was because he felt it first. When dinner concluded, youâd help clean up while Jack resumed his coloring. His bedtime was soon, and you didnât want him to spend his last hour washing pans. He was nearly delirious by the time 9:00 graced the clock, tired from the preparation of the day and needing to get to sleep. Heâd given you a hug goodnight, thanked you for coming like the gentleman he was, and that was the last you saw of him. The rest of your time there was spent on the couch with Aaron, you both held a second glass of wine, and you noticed it manifest in the blush on his face. He was gorgeous, and you were staring. You know your eyes went to his lips a couple times as he spoke, low and rougher as the time ushered more light out of the sky. You saw his eyes slip down a few times too, this sort of unspoken, agonizing rule of look donât touch. Heâd walked you to the door, thanked you for your attendance, and then you were leaving. Sitting in your car, warm on the inside from both his presence and the anger you felt at yourself for not just kissing him. You were so incredibly needy for this - for him, and that fact just sat with you, like a raincloud constantly in a state of downpour, never letting you forget the pure fucking craving you had for him.

You think the start of your blackout was Morganâs panicked voice over the speaker. Youâd been stationed in your typical hut, equipped with medical gear and waiting on someone to need you. It was almost never your team in need of service, typically you were tending to an injured hostage or sometimes the unsub themselves, but never your friends. Your breath had been baited since youâd heard the gun go off. You knew the case was dealing with an aggressive attacker, youâd been expecting a fight, but nothing is ever more excruciating than waiting to hear who the shot was meant for. Derek crying out your name followed by a âget in here. Hotch is down, we need you in here.â had you ready to run the soles of your shoes down to dust just to make it in time. In time. God, in time for what? Youâd ran past Emily and Rossi hauling out the unsub, anger evident in their treatment of him. How bad was it? How bad had he got him to have them acting like that?
The scene was bloody. Your brain switching off and forcing you into autopilot as you registered the pool of Hotchâs blood that Morgan was kneeling in. He was putting pressure on the wound, an attempt to stop the bleeding but it was flowing like a river. He wouldnât make it to the hospital like this, you realized. He wouldnât make it to the fucking hospital. You were holding his life in between your hands right now, the slightest tremor could sever that chord and you were feeling the pressure hard. Aaron was leaned against the wall, slumping down slightly which was only making the bleeding increase under the internal pressure.Â
You looked at Morgan, putting on the bravest face you could muster and effectively seizing control of the situation. âMorgan.â You got his attention quickly. âOn three I need you to lift him away from the wall. I need to check for an exit wound.â He just nodded, doing exactly as youâd told him when you reached three. You checked the area, finding an exit wound in nearly the same spot. Itâd been a straight line. You sighed in relief. Thank fucking God. âOk, Morgan, I need you to put pressure on the wound on his back. Iâm going to stitch the front to give us the time we need for the hospital drive but I need you to hold it. You got me?âÂ
He nodded once. âI got it.â He moved his hand from the front to the back, Aaron wincing at the switch.
You took out the numbing cream from your pack, knowing it wouldnât do much for a gushing bullet wound but hoping it would at least quell the sting of a needle. You took out the needle, threading it with hands frighteningly stagnant as the adrenaline gave you tunnel vision. You had to save him. âAaron.â You looked at him as you prepped his skin for the procedure. âIâm gonna need to double stitch this, and itâs gonna hurt like hell. I need you to stay with me.âÂ
The man just nodded, exhaling in exhaustion. âDo it.â
You worked as quickly as possible, gaining hope as you listened to the ambulance approach. âThere you go.â You said under your breath, at this point you couldnât tell if you were reassuring him or yourself. You looked to Morgan, who was still sealing the other injury. âHelp me get him up. Keep your hand on there. These stitches are gonna give us twenty minutes tops. Hold his shoulders straight and walk quickly.â You counted again, both of you rising when you hit three, taking the man with you. The walk to the ambulance was the longest of your life. Aaron was clinging to his consciousness but you knew he was losing grip. Finally getting him to the stretcher and slamming the doors was a relief like nothing else. There was no time to debate anyone else going, you rushed him in and sat right down beside him, taking off almost immediately after. The bleeding had slowed, and your hand took the place of Morganâs on his back. Since he was laying down, his full weight was on it, and you felt the circulation lessen more and more as it remained there. You couldnât care less, youâd let the blood drain from your entire arm if it meant Aaronâs survival. He hadnât passed out, which you thought was miraculous, simply walked the line of decently delirious. Groaning under his breath at every slight bump in the road.Â
âWhy am I always having to save you Hotchner men?â You knew now wasnât the time to be humorous, but you would have done anything to deviate from the tears in your eyes, the ball in your throat. You finally understood why it was frowned upon to date coworkers - it should be illegal to care this much.Â
âI donât know, honey.â The pet name was the kicker, allowing a tear to break the dam and roll down your cheek as he chuckled. âYou seem to be pretty damn good at it, though.â You laughed too, fighting the devastation you felt at the sight of him with the fact that he was clearly well enough to still be joking. âI should have kissed you when you came for dinner.â
Fuck. âAaron, now is not the time.â You chuckled slightly as more tears fell. This is absurd.
âI know but-â He flinched as the ambulance hit another bump. Almost there. âI might as well say it now.â You wondered if there was genuinely something wrong with him. âYouâve been all I can think about since the moment-'' He paused to breathe slightly in exertion, you giving a disapproving look as his confession took itâs toll. âsince the moment you started, you know that?â
âYou are dying! Please, for the love of God, Aaron. Use this energy to prevent that from happening.â Your scolding was dramatic, but your actual concern shone brightly through your ruse of sarcasm.Â
âExactly.â He was being equally as sarcastic. How on Earth did he manage this with a rapidly declining life force. âGive a dying man a chance. How unfortunate would it be if the last thing I hear before I go out is the woman of my dreams rejecting me?â
âJesus Christ.â You shook your head in pure amazement. This was by far the most goal oriented man youâd ever met. âIâll let you take me out if you shut the hell up and save your energy.â He smiled, letting his head hit the reclined back of the stretcher. âAfter you get better.â You added, reminding him that his recovery took priority. âDeal?â
âDeal.â This was probably the most insufferable man youâd ever met. âSuch a good motivator.â
Scratch that. Most insufferable man ever.

The Secret Admirer - Franco Colapinto x Driver!Reader
summary: Y/N thought the biggest challenge this season would be her dynamic with her cold teammate, but mysterious notes and gifts start to complicate things. Whoâs behind it, and what happens when she finds out?
content: driver!reader; slight lestappen in-between the lines if you're down for it
AN - HELLO?? when did I reach 100 followers?? that's crazy fr thank you guys so much <3 getting myself a some lilies tomorrow to celebrate heehee :)
inspired after reading an amazing secret admirer SMAU by @hugleclerc!!
---------------------------------------------------
The Williams garage was alive with the buzz of mechanics and engineers, adjusting last-minute setups on the cars before qualifying. I leaned against the wall, watching the team work their magic. The air was tense, but everyone seemed focused, ready for the battle that awaited on track.
Everyone except Franco Colapinto.
I glanced across the garage, where Franco stood laughing with one of the engineers. His gorgeous green eyes sparkled as he made some clever comment, drawing a laugh from the guy. Of course, everyone adored Francoâcharming, effortlessly cool, always with a smile that could melt ice.
Just not when it came to me.
I took a deep breath, feeling the usual pang of frustration bubble up. It wasnât that I needed to be best friends with my teammate, but we were supposed to be a team. Teammates were supposed to at least talk to each other, right? But noâFranco acted like I was a ghost. A ghost in a fireproof suit.
Whatever, I told myself. It wasnât like I cared... much.
But maybe today would be different. Maybe today, Iâd crack the Colapinto code.
âHey, Franco,â I called out as I approached him, keeping my voice light, almost hopeful. âReady for qualifying?â
He turned toward me, his eyes flickering me up and down for the briefest moment. âHey,â he said, offering me the most forced smile Iâd ever seen. I wasnât sure whether to laugh or cry at how bad this was going already. âI, uh... need to check the data,â he quickly added, already turning away before I could even blink.
Right. Data. The lamest excuse. I watched as he made a beeline for the monitors, leaving me standing there like an idiot talking to thin air. Again.
I sighed, folding my arms. âSure, no problem.â It felt ridiculousâlike I was chasing after something that clearly didnât matter to him.Â
I didnât want to admit how much it actually bugged me. Not having a good bond with Franco wasnât just a professional issueâit felt personal. I got on with everyone else in the paddock. Oscar? Hilarious. Charles? Always up for a nice talk. Lando? Honestly too crazy for his own good. But Franco? He was a mystery wrapped in a cold, distant puzzle.
I let out another sigh, shaking my head. Turning to head back to my car again.
The truth was, it bothered me more than I liked to admit. I wanted to have that easy camaraderie I had with the others, but Franco wasnât interested. Maybe I was reading too much into it. Maybe it was just the rivalry for the number 1 seat at Williams, and I was overthinking things.
But still, every time I saw him chat with the team, his eyes lighting up as he joked around, it stung. Why couldnât he be like that with me?
The countdown to qualifying flashed on the screens around the garage, snapping me back to reality. Focus. I had a job to do. I wasnât going to let Francoâs attitude get in the way of that. I could beat him on the track. Thatâs what mattered.
..
Back in my driverâs room, the hum of the paddock faded as I shut the door behind me. The familiar quiet enveloped me, offering a brief moment of peace. I tugged at the zipper of my race suit, peeling it halfway down to let out the heat. Qualifying had gone well enough, p10, but my mind was elsewhere, drifting away from lap times and tire choices.
I moved around the small space, packing my gloves and helmet, going through the motions of tidying up. There was something soothing about the routineâfolding, zipping, stashing gear away in its proper place. It gave my hands something to do while my thoughts wandered.
As I reached for my bag, my fingers brushed against something unexpectedâa small, folded piece of paper peeking out from the side pocket. I paused, pulling it free and unfolding it slowly. The handwriting was neat, familiar. My heart gave a small flutter, as it always did when I found one of these.
"You looked amazing again today. Seeing you shine is the highlight of my raceweekends."
A smile tugged at my lips, soft but undeniable. These notes had been showing up for weeks now, tucked into my things when I least expected it. Always sweet, always supportive, and just romantic enough to make me wonder who the mysterious admirer could be.
I leaned back against the bench, holding the note in my hand. Whoever was behind this... they were good. Thoughtful, even. They knew how to say just enough to lift my spirits without crossing that line into cringe territory.
But who could it be? Iâd racked my brain plenty of times. Maybe one of the engineers? They were always around, and some of them had a quiet, observant vibe. Or could it be the chef who made those amazing post-race meals? He was always so friendly, always knew exactly how to make my day a little better.
I folded the note carefully and slid it into my pocket, shaking my head with a soft laugh. Whoever it was, they were doing a great job of keeping it a secret. It was frustrating, sure, but at the same time... there was something kind of magical about the mystery. And it felt good, knowing someone was watching, rooting for me in their own quiet way.Â
With a small smile, I headed toward the door, stepping into the outside world again, basically hitting me in the face with its upbeat energy. Whatever challenges lay ahead, at least I had one thing to look forward toâsomeone out there cared. And that was more than enough to brighten my day.
..
At the hotel I went straight to the restaurant which was filled with the typical post-qualifying buzzâdrivers catching up, teams unwinding with food and drinks, and engineers talking shop over their meals. I slipped into the booth beside Oscar, who was already halfway through his plate, while Charles raised his glass in greeting.
âTough session?â Oscar asked, his mouth half full, which would sure as hell earn him a scolding from Nicole Piastri if she saw him like this.
I shrugged, picking up the menu. âCouldâve been worse. Franco had his usual charm on, though.â I tried to keep it light, but there was no hiding the disappointment creeping into my voice.
Charles raised an eyebrow, setting his glass down with a smirk. âAnd by charm, you mean...â
âHe barely acknowledged me.â I sighed, flipping the menu open. âI tried to wish him luck, you know, like a teammate would? He gave me the most forced smile, muttered something about âchecking the data,â and bolted.â
Oscar leaned back in his seat, giving me a knowing look. âClassic Franco move. Avoidance with a dash of politeness.â
âYeah, that about sums it up,â I muttered, more amused than frustrated at this point.
Charles chuckled. âWell, itâs not like he hates you. Maybe heâs just... I donât know, bad at the whole teammate thing.â
âMaybe,â I said, not really convinced. âItâs just... disappointing. Everyone else on the grid is easy to get along with, but with Franco, itâs like I donât exist. I get that weâre both competitive for that number one seat, but it doesnât mean we have to be strangers.â
Oscar gave me a small, sympathetic smile, then his face lit up with a mischievous glint. âAt least youâve got someone making up for it with those cute little love notes.â
My cheeks flushed a bit as I fumbled with the menu. I wasnât expecting that to come up so quickly. âI wouldnât call them love notes.â
Charles leaned in, clearly intrigued. âOh, do tell.â
I sighed, setting the menu down. âItâs nothing major. Just... someoneâs been leaving notes for me. Encouraging ones. Theyâre always really sweet and thoughtful.â
Charles and Oscar exchanged a glance, then burst out laughing.
âOur girlâs got a secret admirer!â Oscar stated, grinning ear to ear.
Charles joined in. âAnd you didnât think to tell me? Come on, Y/N, weâre supposed to be your investigative team here.â
I rolled my eyes, smiling despite their teasing. âItâs not like that. I mean, I donât even know who it is. The notes just show up in my stuffâmy locker, my bag, even my hotel room once.â
Charles was practically bouncing in his seat. âThis is amazing. Youâve got a secret admirer in the paddock, and youâre keeping it from us? Thatâs just cruel.â
Oscar tilted his head, considering. âMaybe itâs one of the journalists? Theyâre always hanging around the paddock.â
I frowned, thinking it over. âA journalist? I donât know... It seems kind of personal. Like, whoeverâs leaving them knows whatâs going on in my head.â
Charles grinned, clearly loving the mystery. âMaybe itâs that tire guy. You know, the one whoâs always lurking around with that awkward smile.â
I laughed. âSure, because nothing says romance like delivering tires.â
âHey, you never know,â Charles teased. âThe guy might have a thing for drivers who know how to handle a good set of Pirellis.â
Oscar snorted. âWell, whoever it is, theyâre clearly invested in you. And the fact that theyâre staying anonymous? Bold move.â
I shook my head, grinning despite myself. âItâs not like that. I mean, I donât think it is. The notes are more... supportive than romantic.â
Charles smirked. âSupportive, romantic... itâs the same thing when youâre the one receiving them.â
I leaned back, letting out a breath. âMaybe. Itâs just weird not knowing. Whoever it is must be around a lot to be able to slip the notes into my stuff without me noticing.â
Oscar shrugged. âCould be anyone. Engineer, journalist, tire guy... heck, it could be someone from another team for all we know.â
Charles gave me a nudge. âCome on, letâs not overthink this. Whoever it is, theyâre obviously paying attention to you in ways weâre not. Just... enjoy it. You deserve it.â
..
Back in my hotel room, I tossed my bag onto the bed and collapsed into the armchair. Even after the dinner with Oscar and Charles, the post-quali hectivity still lingered in my head, and I was ready to unwind. As I sat up, something caught my eye on the deskâthere, sitting perfectly in the middle, was a bouquet of lilies, their soft pink petals delicate and crisp against the dark wood. Nestled among the flowers was a small teddy bear, its plush almost glowing in the dim room light.
I blinked, taking a step closer. Another note.
With a grin creeping onto my face, I picked up the folded paper, carefully sliding it out from between the stems. My heart fluttered a little as I unfolded it, the familiar neat handwriting greeting me once again.
"Flowers for the prettiest girl in the pitlane, you are doing amazing this weekend."
The warmth that spread through me was undeniable. Whoever this was, they had a knack for making me feel special without going overboard. I set the note down on the desk, reaching for the teddy bear. It was soft, comforting in a way that made me smile.
Without thinking, I scooped up the flowers and the teddy and practically ran out of the room, determined to show Oscar and Charles the latest installment of this ongoing mystery. I knew theyâd have a field day with it.
When I made it down to the lobby, I spotted them easilyâOscar and Charles were draped over the couches, their laughter carrying across the room.
âOh no,â Oscar said as soon as he saw me, eyes locking onto the bouquet. âNot more flowers.â
Charles leaned forward, grinning. âWhat is it this time? Roses? A life-sized teddy bear?â
I sat down next to them, holding up the lilies and teddy with a mock dramatic flourish. âLilies and a teddy bear,â I announced. âAnd another note. This person is definitely stepping up their game.â
Before I could say more, Max appeared out of nowhere, sliding into the chair next to Charles. He raised an eyebrow at the sight. âWait, wait, waitâwhat did I miss?â
Oscar leaned over, grinning like crazy. âOh, just Y/Nâs latest delivery from her secret admirer.â
Maxâs eyes widened in mock shock. âSecret admirer? How come Iâm only finding out about this now? Charles, you shouldâve told me!â
Charles waved him off. âYouâve been too busy. Someoneâs been leaving notes and gifts for Y/N. This is the latest oneâlilies and a teddy bear. The whole deal.â
Without missing a beat, Max straightened up dramatically and grabbed Charlesâs hand, mimicking a lovestruck expression, placing a hand on his chest. âOh, darling Charles, Iâve waited so long to tell you how much I adore you. Letme sweep you off your feet with lilies and teddy bears,â he said in a ridiculous voice, earning a round of laughter from the guys.
Charles, unable to keep a straight face, clutched at his chest. âOh, Max, I had no idea! How could I have been so blind?â He pretended to swoon, leaning into Max as Oscar snorted with laughter.
The whole thing was so ridiculous that I couldnât help but burst out laughing, holding onto the teddy bear as Charles dramatically fell into Maxâs arms. Oscar nearly spilled his drink, laughing so hard he was shaking.
âYou guys are so annoying,â I said, shaking my head.
Oscar wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. âAnd yet, you still hang out with us.â
âOkay, okay,â I said, sitting down beside Oscar. âYou can all make fun of me later. But seriously, I have no idea whoâs behind this.â
Max leaned over, winking at me. âWhoever it is, Iâd say theyâre pretty serious about this. You should probably start writing your thank-you speech for when they finally reveal themselves.â
Oscar tilted his head thoughtfully. âMaybe itâs someone who sees you all the time but doesnât want to be too obvious about it. A paddock regular.â
Charles nodded. âLike that tire guy. Maybe heâs finally making his move.â
Lando, who joined the group mid maxâs performance and had been quietly observing so far, crossed his arms, his grin widening. âOh, I have a pretty good idea who it is.â
I raised an eyebrow, curious. âOh, really?â
Lando shrugged casually, a sly smile playing on his lips. âI mean, if you pay attention, itâs not that hard to figure out. Itâs always someone who notices the little things, like when you have a really good session or when youâre extra happy about something.â
Oscar tilted his head. âWait... are you saying you know who it is?â
Landoâs smirk widened just a fraction. âIÂ guess Iâm fairly certain, yeah. But whereâs the fun in telling you now? Iâll let you all figure it out.â
Max leaned back, giving Lando a look. âCome on, mate. You canât just drop that and leave us hanging.â
Lando held up his hands, still grinning. âIâm just sayingâsometimes the answerâs right in front of you. Youâve just gotta look a little closer.â
I narrowed my eyes at him, the wheels in my head turning, but before I could press him any further, George strolled up, adjusting his jacket with his usual air of elegance. He took one look at the flowers and teddy bear, and his face lit up with intrigue.
âGood evening, Gentlemen, Gentlewoman,â George said, eyes carefully inspecting the gifts on the table, âwhatâs this whole ordeal about?â
Oscar leaned forward, clearly enjoying himself. âY/Nâs got a secret admirer. Notes, flowers, gifts... the whole thing.â
George straightened up, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. âA secret admirer, you say? Well, this sounds like a job for me.â
Max snickered. âYouâre going to solve this mystery, Sherlock?â
George gave him a serious nod. âAbsolutely. Itâs a matter of pride now. Y/N, you leave this in my capable hands.â
I laughed. âWhatâs your plan, George?â
He adjusted his collar with a flourish. âIâll start by investigating everyone in the paddock. No stone shall be left unturned, no individual overlooked.â
Charles chuckled. âIâd pay good money to see you interrogating the tire guy.â
George gave him a lofty wave. âThe tire guy? Please, Iâll be far more thorough than that. Iâll speak to marshalls, cleaning staff, team principalsâeveryone. By the end of this, Iâll have your answer.â
Oscar grinned. âIâm sure theyâll all appreciate your thoroughness.â
âFear not,â George continued, completely serious, âI will get to the bottom of this. You can count on me.â
We all burst out laughing as George made his dramatic exit, heading off toward the elevators with an air of determination.
Max shook his head, still chuckling. âHeâs going to be a nightmare in the paddock tomorrow.â
Oscar leaned back, crossing his arms. âNo kidding. Heâll have everyone hiding from him by lunchtime.â
Lando, still lounging comfortably, gave me a quick glance. âWell, while Sherlockâs off gathering clues, we can all sit back and enjoy the show.â
I smiled, hugging the teddy bear close. âYeah, this whole thing is getting out of hand.â
But even as I said it, I glanced down at the note again, my fingers brushing over the neat handwriting. There was something about this whole thingâsomething I felt I was overlooking.
..
Race day had finally arrived, and the paddock was alive with excitement. The driversâ parade was one of those moments where the race hadnât quite hit yet, and the energy was more about the fans than the looming competition. I stood with the other drivers, the sun bright overhead, as we waited to climb into the two open-top trucks that would take us around the circuit.
The atmosphere was lively, the cheers of the crowd echoing through the streets. For a brief moment, it was just about the spectacleâno stress, no pressure. Just waves and smiles.
âY/N!â Georgeâs voice cut through the noise, and I turned to see him weaving through the group with a grin. âIâve got updates.â
I raised an eyebrow. âUpdates on what?â
George leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. âThe investigation. Iâve been doing some digging.â
I stifled a laugh, shaking my head. âGeorge, I thought we agreed to keep this low-key.â
He nodded, but there was a glint in his eyes. âOh, of course. Very discreet. But just so you know, Iâve already ruled out a few people. I had a chat with the tire guysâtheyâre off the list.â
I couldnât help but grin. âGood to know.â
Oscar, standing a few feet away, overheard and sauntered over, clearly amused. âGeorge is still on about that, huh?â
George straightened up, looking entirely too pleased with himself. âIâm telling you, weâre making progress. Just need to connect a few more dots.â
I rolled my eyes. âSure, Sherlock. But keep it subtle, okay?â
Oscar chuckled, clapping George on the shoulder as we climbed into one of the trucks for the parade. âJust donât go questioning the marshals next, alright?â
We settled into the large truck, with half the drivers in ours and the rest in another up ahead. George stood beside me, his detective mindset clearly still working overtime. âIâll crack this eventually,â he said, his tone only half-joking.
As the truck rolled forward, George leaned in, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. âIâve narrowed it down to three main suspects.â
I raised an eyebrow, already bracing for the ridiculousness. âOkay, hit me. Whoâs on your list?â
George, completely serious, ticked off the names on his fingers. âFirst, Gunther Steiner.â
Oscar, standing across from us, choked on his water. âGunther? Seriously?â
George nodded. âCould be him, right? The manâs full of surprises.â
I bit back a laugh, playing along. âSure, letâs put Gunther in the mix. Who else?â
George held up a second finger. âThen, thereâs one of the guys from Dutch TV. Heâs always hanging around too, and I saw him chatting with the engineers yesterday. Could be a cover.â
Oscar shook his head, thoroughly amused. âA Dutch broadcaster? Arenât most of those guys well over 50?â
âAnd lastly,â George said, leaning in even closer, âLewis.â
I burst out laughing. âLewis? Really?â
George shrugged. âHeâs known to be romantic. He certainly stole my heart in the last few years of us working together.â
âHeâs like a dad to me, George!â I said, rolling my eyes.
George grinned, completely unfazed by the disbelief. âYou never know. He surely is a handsome guy.â
As the parade began to roll forward, I glanced over at Lewis, who was standing on the other side of the truck, waving atfans as we passed by. He caught my eye and made his way over, always up for a chat.
âReady for race day, Y/N?â Lewis asked, his smile easy and familiar.
IÂ smiled, waving to the crowd. âAbsolutely! Iâve got a good feeling about the car this weekend.â
Lewis nodded, his gaze shifting briefly to Franco, who was further up in the other truck, chatting with Carlos and Checo. âHowâs it going with your teammate?â he asked, his voice carrying a hint of understanding.
I sighed. âItâs just weird, you know? Iâve tried to build some kind of rapport with him, but he barely acknowledges me. Feels like Iâm talking to a wall sometimes.â
Lewis nodded knowingly. âIâve been there. Back when Nico and I were teammates, it was the same. Sometimes, no matter what you do, the team dynamic just doesnât click.â
I glanced over at Franco, who was sitting up ahead in the other truck, chatting easily with some of the engineers. âYeah, thatâs exactly how it feels. I donât want to be at odds with him, but itâs hard when heâs so distant.â
Lewis offered a sympathetic smile. âBest advice I can give? Focus on your own performance. If itâs meant to change, it will, could still be a lot of love there in the future. Who knows.â
I nodded, grateful for his words. âThanks, Lewis. Iâll keep that in mind.â
As the trucks rolled through the circuit, the noise of the crowd surrounded us, creating a whirlwind of energy. I waved and smiled, but my mind kept drifting back to Georgeâs âinvestigation.â
Just then, George leaned over again, his voice still hushed. âI have a few more leads, you know. I think the key is in the smaller details.â
Before I could respond, Lando, standing a few meters behind us, called out with a cheeky grin. âMaybe Sherlock should focus on the people who see the little things, those who spend the most time near her during raceweekends.â
I shot him a look, but Lando just winked, clearly enjoying the teasing. âJust a thought,â he added.
Oscar laughed, nudging George. âSounds like Landoâs onto something. Maybe you should listen to him.â
George, undeterred, gave a firm nod. âI am conducting an official investigation here, I will not be phased by the random gibberish coming out of Mr. Norrisâs mouth.â
We all laughed, the banter flowing easily as the parade continued. The crowdâs cheers grew louder, and for a moment, I let myself get swept up in the excitement, pushing thoughts of the admirer and Franco to the back of my mind.
..
The parade had been fun, but as the race drew closer, the atmosphere shifted. There was a something in the air, an underlying tension that grew with every passing minute. The team was busy making final preparations, and the garage was a blur of activityâmechanics checking the cars, engineers pouring over data, and the hum of engines revving in the background.
I made my way to the starting position, taking a moment to clear my head. The race was the focus now, and I had to put everything elseâGeorgeâs ridiculous suspects, Landoâs weird hints, and even the mystery admirerâaside. It was time to focus.
Franco, who qualified p9 and therefore was parked next to me, stood by the car, laughing with a couple of the engineers, his usual charming self. His eyes sparkled, and his energy seemed high. Canât believe he can look this good after such an intense weekend. As always, he was completely at ease with the teamâjust not with me. I watched him for a moment, the distance between us feeling wider than ever. It wasnât that I was angry with him, just... a bit sad.Â
I took a deep breath and walked over, determined to at least wish him good luck before the race. Maybe today would be different.
âHey, Franco,â I said, my voice light but hopeful. âGood luck out there.â
He glanced over at me, looking clearly caught of guard. âYes, thanks,â he replied, his tone polite but clipped. âYou too.â
Before I could say anything else, he turned back to the engineers, diving right into a discussion about strategy. It was like a door closing in my faceâagain.
I stood there for a moment, watching him interact so easily with everyone else. He had the charm, the confidence, those dreamy eyes, the effortless ability to make people like him. So why couldnât we connect? I wasnât asking for much, just a little more than this distant, cold professionalism. But every time I tried, he shut me down.
I sighed, turning away. There was no point in pushing it anymore. Franco wasnât interested, and I couldnât waste energy on something that clearly wasnât going to change.
As I stepped into my car, I felt the familiar rush of adrenaline starting to build. I had a decent starting position, and the car felt good during practice. If I could nail the start and keep things clean, there was a good chance Iâd score some solid points today.
My race engineer gave me a rundown of the strategy, and I nodded along, focusing on the task at hand. The tension was there, but it was the good kindâthe kind that made you want to get out there and fight.
I cast one last glance over at Franco. He was in his element, all smiles and confidence as he chatted with the crew. For a second, I almost envied how easily things seemed to come to him.
I shook off the thoughts of Franco, my mind snapping into race mode. Whatever was going on between usâor rather, wasnât going onâcould wait. I had points to score.
..
The race had been a whirlwind. I was still buzzing with adrenaline as I pulled into the pit lane. It wasnât a podium, but finishing P7 was a solid result, especially considering how tight the midfield battle had been. The car had felt good, and Iâd managed to keep my head down and fight through the chaos of the race. As I unclipped my harness and climbed out of the car, a wave of relief washed over me. Another race down, and points on the board for Williams.
The garage was already alive with celebrationâengineers high-fiving each other, the mechanics cheering for what had been a strong race for the team. Franco had finished P6, just ahead of me, which was a good result for both of us. I caught a glimpse of him surrounded by team members, all smiles as usual, and I felt a twinge of something I couldnât quite place. Not jealousy, but... something else.
As the energy in the garage began to die down, I noticed people slowly filtering out, heading off to unwind or prep for the evening celebration. I lingered, not in any rush, soaking in the post-race energy. Eventually, it was just a few of us left, the hum of the paddock fading into a quiet calm.
With a deep breath, I gathered my things, deciding it was time to head back to my driverâs room to decompress. My body ached from the intensity of the race, and the adrenaline was finally starting to wear off. A hot shower and a moment of peace were exactly what I needed before joining the team later at the cocktail bar.
When I walked into my room, I spotted something that made me stop in my tracks.
On the bench next to my helmet sat another noteâthis time accompanied by a little box from Dior. Curious, I opened the lid, only to find the most stunning, sleek, golden bracelet inside. My heart skipped a beat as I moved closer, picking up the delicate piece of jewelry. The bracelet was simple but elegant, with a small star charm that caught the light as I held it in my hand. This wasnât just another gesture. This felt differentâmore intimate.
With shaky hands, I unfolded the note, the familiar handwriting almost calming in its neatness.
"You were a star out there. Wish I could see you smile like this every day."
I sat down, holding the bracelet in one hand and the note in the other, a mixture of emotions washing over me. The thoughtfulness behind the gesture, the subtle encouragementâit all felt so personal. Whoever this person was, they saw me in ways that most people didnât. The bracelet wasnât just a gift; it was a reminder that someone out there was paying attention to more than just my results.
I smiled softly to myself, but after a moment, I carefully placed the bracelet back into its little Dior box. It felt too precious, too delicate to wear just yet.Â
I glanced around the room, half-expecting someone to step out from the shadows with a confession. But of course, I was alone. The puzzle pieces were there, but the final picture still felt elusive. I couldnât shake the feeling that I was getting closer to figuring it out.
With the note tucked safely in my pocket and the box in hand, I left the room, ready to head to the team celebration.
As I left the room and stepped into the paddock, I nearly bumped into Kym Illman, who was walking by with his camera slung over his shoulder.
âY/N! Just the person I was hoping to catch,â Kym said, grinning as he stopped in front of me. âMind if I grab a quick post-race shot? Gotta capture that afterglow.â
I blinked, still feeling a bit dazed from everything that had happened, but I forced a smile and nodded. âYeah, sure. Go for it.â
Kym raised his camera, the familiar sound of the shutter snapping away as I stood there, trying to focus on anything other than the Dior box in my hand. The camera clicks were rhythmic, but I could feel the weight of the small box growing heavier by the second. Just as he lowered the camera, Kymâs eyes flicked down to the box.
âYou got a little gift,â he commented casually, gesturing toward it with a nod. His easygoing smile remained in place, like he didnât realize he was about to drop a bomb. âFrom Franco, right?â
I froze, the words hitting me like a sudden gust of wind. My pulse quickened, and I stared at him, my mind struggling to process what heâd just said. âFranco...?â
Kym, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing inside me, shrugged casually. âYeah, I saw him going into your room after the race, carrying that little box. I assumed it was something from him for you. Itâs good to see things are smoothing outbetween you two.â
He smiled again, a little too cheerfully, completely oblivious to the turmoil his words had caused. I forced a shaky smile in return, the reality of his comment sinking in slowly, like ice water trickling down my spine.
Franco had dropped off the bracelet. Franco had been in my room. Franco had been leaving me the notes and the giftsâthis entire time?
My thoughts spiraled, trying to match the Franco I knewâthe one who could barely hold a conversation with me, who always kept his distanceâwith the person behind these thoughtful, personal gestures. How could the same person be so cold and yet so considerate? None of it made sense. But then again, he was always around, like Lando hinted at.
âI, uh... will see you next week,â I finally managed to say, my voice coming out shakier than Iâd intended.
Kym, still completely unaware of the bombshell heâd just dropped, gave an easygoing smile. âGreat race today. Youâre looking strong out there. Iâll see you around.â
With that, he waved and walked off, leaving me standing there, rooted to the spot. The guy who had barely acknowledged me for months, who had given me the cold shoulder in every single interaction, was the same person who had been leaving me these incredibly thoughtful, sweet notes?
I looked down at the Dior box in my hand, the logo glinting in the fading light of the evening. The weight of the bracelet inside felt heavier now, the realization settling in like a lead weight in my chest. It was Franco. What the hell?
But if it was him, why had he been so distant? Why couldnât he just say something instead of hiding behind anonymous notes and secret gifts?
I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. There was no point in overthinking it now. I needed answers, and there was only one person who could give them to me.
Tonight, I was going to find Franco, and I was going to get to the bottom of this.
..
The cocktail bar slowly filled with the sounds of celebration. Laughter and the sound of clinking glasses travelled through the room as the Williams team reveled in the success of the race. The low lighting cast a warm glow over the bar, making it feel intimate, even amidst the lively chatter. I stepped inside, the gold bracelet glimmering softly on my wrist. The weight of it felt significant, not because of its size, but because of what it represented. Tonight, I needed answers, and I had a plan.
Franco stood near the bar, surrounded by a few engineers, his easy smile making him the center of attention, as always. He laughed at something one of the guys said, and for a moment, I watched him, still trying to reconcile the Franco I thought I knew with the one who had left me those thoughtful notes that made my stomach flutter. My fingers brushed the bracelet, and I felt a twinge of nervous energy rush through me.
I took a deep breath and made my way across the room toward him, my heart pounding as I rehearsed what I might say. The crowd seemed to blur as I neared, and suddenly it was just the two of us in this noisy, lively place.
âFranco,â I called out, keeping my voice light, though every nerve in my body was tingling.
He turned toward me, his green eyes immediately darting to my wrist. The moment they landed on the bracelet, a flicker of recognition passed through his expressionâa quick joyful spark that was gone almost as soon as it appeared. But it was enough. That slight hesitation, the twinkle in his eyeâit was all I needed to know.
âHey,â he said, his voice a little too calm, a little too composed. âCongrats on the race today. P7 is a solid finish.â
I forced a smile, stepping closer. âThanks. P6 isnât bad either. You were brilliant out there.â
He nodded, but I noticed his gaze flicker back to the bracelet again, like he couldnât help himself. That spark was back in his eyes, and this time, it lingered.
âYeah, thanks,â he said, his voice a little quieter now.
His response was automatic, his words almost an afterthought. His attention wasnât on the conversationâit was on my wrist, the bracelet. He couldnât hide it.
I smiled knowingly. âDo you like my new bracelet?â
Franco blinked, his composure slipping for a second. âItâs, uh... nice. Gold, right?â His voice wavered ever so slightly, like he was trying too hard to sound indifferent.
I tilted my head, taking a step closer. âYes, so pretty isnât it? Someone gave it to me after the race.â
He nervously tried his best to look away and avoid my gaze, suppressing what seemed to be a proud smile. âOh, thatâs... thoughtful.â
I raised an eyebrow, watching him squirm. âIt was, wasnât it?â
The space between us felt charged, the air thick with tension. I waited, giving him a chance to come clean, but he stayed silent, his eyes glued to the bracelet.
He opened his mouth to say something, but whatever words heâd planned to use were lost. I couldnât wait any longer. Grabbing his arm, I gently pulled him away from the group, toward the quieter, dimly lit corner in the bar, just out of sight. Franco didnât resist, though I could feel the stiffness in his movements.
Once we were tucked away from prying eyes, I let go of his arm and turned to face him, crossing my arms as I leaned against the wall. âFranco, it was you, wasnât it? The notes, the flowers, the braceletâitâs all been you.â
Franco shifted uncomfortably, his usual confidence completely gone. He avoided my gaze, running a hand through his hair, a nervous habit I hadnât noticed before. âWhat? NoâI donâtââ He faltered, the words tumbling out awkwardly. âI mean, Iââ
I stepped closer, cutting him off with a raised eyebrow. âFranco.â
I stayed silent, waiting for him to continue. He glanced around, as if hoping for some sort of escape, but when none came, he finally met my eyes. âI didnât know how else to... say anything,â he murmured. âItâs stupid, I know. Weâre teammates, and I shouldâve justââ
âWhat did you want to say?â I asked, my voice soft but firm.
 âYouâre all I can think about,â he blurted out, the words unfiltered. âEvery single day.â
I blinked, caught off guard by the intensity of his confession. Francoâs face softened as he continued, his voice quiet but steady.
âIâve been trying to act like I donât care, like Iâm just focused on the race and nothing else, but... itâs you. Itâs always been you.â
My breath caught as his words sank in, but he didnât stop there. He took a step closer, his voice lowering.
âYou have no idea what you do to me, cariĂąo,â he said, his eyes searching mine. âI love the way every time weâre eating something and you have the first bite and it is really good, actually goodâlike, not just passable, you crunch your nose up a little bit. It is so cute.â
He smiled slightly, the vulnerability in his voice clear as he kept going. âAnd after a good session, when you pull your helmet off, and your hairâs all over the place, but you donât care because youâre too busy hopping from foot to foot, like you canât hold in how excited you are. You think no one notices, but I do. Itâs adorable, and it drives me crazy.â
I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest as he took another step closer, his voice barely more than a whisper now.
He stepped closer, his green eyes locking onto mine, more earnest than Iâd ever seen them. âEven when youâre just standing there, doing nothing, you have this way of making me completely forget about everything else. Just watching you makes me lose my mind.â
I couldnât help but beam at that, the sweetness of his words breaking through the tension. Franco glanced down, shaking his head slightly as if embarrassed.
âI thought if I stayed away, maybe it would stop, but it didnât. So... I left the notes. The flowers. The bracelet. Because I didnât know how else to say it.â
âYouâve cared all along,â I whispered, more a statement than a question. My heart was racing like there was a V12 engine hidden inside of it.
Franco nodded, his green eyes locking onto mine with such intensity it made my breath hitch. âI have. But weâre supposed to be competing for that number one seat, and I didnât want to make it more difficult... with how I feel about you.â
His confession hung in the air between us, raw and real. The weirdness, the tensionâit had all been leading to this moment.
I stepped even closer, until our bodies were almost touching, my voice soft. âFranco, you didnât have to hide it. You couldâve just told me.â
For a moment, neither of us moved, the space between us charged with everything we hadnât said. But now, with nothing left unsaid, I closed the gap, standing on my toes as I pressed my lips to his.
Franco froze for a second, caught off guard, but then he responded, his hands finding my waist as he pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. It was slow at first, tentative, like we were both afraid to break the moment. But as the seconds passed, the kiss grew more urgent, more real, like all the months of tension were finally being released.
His hands tightened on my waist as he kissed me back, the heat between us growing with each passing second. My heart raced as I melted into him, my fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt as the kiss deepened, hungry, like we were making up for lost time..
Francoâs hand slid up my side, as he moved to cradle my face. His thumb grazed my cheek, and I felt my breath hitch, a shiver running down my spine as the kiss intensified. His lips were warm, firm, moving against mine with an urgency that sent a thrill through my entire body. I kissed him back with just as much passion, feeling flutters in my stomach.
My back hit the wall, and the feel of him pressed against me made my pulse race even faster. There was nothing tentative about the way he kissed me nowâhis lips demanding, his touch sending sparks of heat through me. He broke the kiss for just a second, only to dive back in, like he couldnât get enough.
But this time, instead of his lips finding mine again, they traveled down, brushing along my jaw and moving to my neck. The feel of his breath against my skin sent a shiver down my spine, my heart pounding in anticipation. His lips found the sensitive spot just below my ear, pressing soft, deliberate kisses that made me gasp quietly.
Francoâs hands found my waist again, softly fidgeting with the hem of my top and touching the bare skin below, as he trailed his soft lips against the curve of my neck. The combination of his touch and his breath was intoxicating, and I tilted my head back, giving him more access, my body responding instinctively to the way he explored my skin. His lips lingered there, slow and teasing, each kiss sending little jolts of electricity through me.
I could feel his breath hitch as he pulled back slightly, his lips brushing against my neck as he murmured, âYouâre making it impossible to think straight.â
Before I could even respond, he found my lips again, the kiss deeper this time, more heated than before. His hands moved up, combing through my hair, pulling me closer as his lips moved with a hunger that made my knees weak. I kissed him back just as fiercely, losing myself in the feel of him.Â
 It was overwhelmingâin the best possible way. Every nerve in my body was on fire, responding to every little movement, every brush of his lips. Who knew Franco could feel so good?
When we finally pulled apart, breathless, I realized I hadnât even noticed the noise of the bar fading around us, the rest of the world disappearing for that brief moment. Francoâs forehead rested against mine, our breaths mingling as we tried to catch them.
He didnât say anything at first, his eyes still closed, like he was savoring the moment. And I understood that, because I was too. There wasnât any need for words.
After a few beats, Franco finally opened his eyes, his gaze soft but intense. âIâve wanted to do that for a long time,â he murmured, his voice rough around the edges.
âWas it worth the wait?â I teased, a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips.
His eyes darkened slightly, his lips curving into a grin. âMore than you know.â
He leaned down, brushing a soft kiss against my forehead, lingering there for a moment as I closed my eyes and let the warmth of it settle between us.
I smiled up at him, still catching my breath. âI am so happy youâre not the tire guy.â
Franco blinked, a puzzled look crossing his face. âThe... tire guy?â
I chuckled, shaking my head as I leaned in closer, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. âDonât worry about it,â I whispered against his mouth, enjoying his confusion. âYouâll catch on eventually.â

Gossip in town
Steve Harrington x fem!reader
Summary: You and Steve love a good gossip. There's some joy in talking about other people's misery to distract from yourself from your own miserable dating life, right? Besides, that's what friends do. Right? 'Cause that's what you are. Friends.
CW/Disclaimer: Uhhhh some s m u t. Other than that just romance, banter, cute shit. Maybe the cute shit deserves a warning too.
Author's note: We love to say that Steve enjoys to gossip, so I figured I'd drabble something out. Turned a little longer than planned!
Words: 4983
âYou need to make him stop coming in here, heâs ruining our brand!â
As you heard Romaine, your colleague, complain, a smile plays on your lips. That could only mean one person.
Steve.
Romaine glared at him from behind the table she was folding clothes at and he raised his brow with little interest. His sailor outfit was a stark contrast to the high-end fashion you sold in the store you worked at and you thought it was the funniest thing ever. The first week, Steve had been too embarrassed to even leave the ice cream parlor. By now, he couldnât give two fucks. And knowing Romaine hated it only made him come by twice as often.
âY/N, Y/N!â
His impatient calls made you giggle and you revealed yourself from around the corner to put yourself into his field of vision. He gave a nod of recognition and then started to approach you with big steps.
âIâm taking my break,â Romaine announced, in an attempt to keep you from going anywhere. One person always needed to be in the store, and it was just you two that day. Steve knew about this rule by now, so he rolled his eyes, grabbed your wrist and pulled you towards the fitting rooms.
âStill technically in the store,â he mumbled, flashing you a grin as he took note that none of the fitting rooms were being used. With one smooth move, he pulled back a curtain, nudged you inside, followed and closed the curtain again behind him. He was a little out of breath, either from excitement or because he fucking jogged to your side of the mall. Must have been a sight for sore eyes.
âYou were fucking right,â he hissed, not wasting a second as he spilled the tea. You covered your mouth to prevent a gasp and he pulled your hand away as he nodded. He needed not to tell you what, or who it was about. It had been the main topic of your latest gossip, so it was obvious he was talking about Ben Swimmer, one of his old classmates. Steve rested his palm flat on the wall behind you, kind of locking you into the corner of the fitting room.
âYes, yes keep that mouth open, cause thereâs more.â
His excitement was mixed with disgust, given by his expression. His fingers tapped a rhythm on the wall. You swallowed. Not sure if that had to do with the story at all, as you looked up at him.
âNo⌠What is it?!â you asked impatiently. Steve smirked, loving to keep you on edge, and leaned a little closer because thatâs what you do when you gossip.
âHe wasnât just cheating on Tessa with Vivian, but also with BrendaâŚâ
âNoâŚâ you whispered, giving him a look of disbelief, mouth in fact still agape. Steve cocked his hip to the other side and nodded several times in a quick motion.
âOh yes. He came into Scoops with her just now, in broad fucking daylight. And guess who also popped up at the mall?â
âTessa. Of fucking course.â
Steve nodded.
âTessa. So theyâre sitting there eating their ice cream with two spoons, all gooey and sickeningly adorable if he hadnât been a dick⌠when Ben sees Tessa, but she hasnât seen him yet. So Iâm watching, right, and suddenly Ben looks at me and tells me to let him go out the back with Brenda.â
âOh now he wants to talk to you. Dick.â
Steve clapped his thigh with his free hand and made a gesture.
âRight?! So I said that was against company policy and that I unfortunately couldnât help him. And then I walked forward and accidentally knocked a chair over,â he grinned as he replayed it in his head, âgathered a bit of attention, so weird,â his eyes widened as he spoke, âTessaâs attention too. You shouldâve seen it. I wish you couldâve seen it.â
His sigh filled the small space as he leaned his head back against the thin wall of the fitting room. He knitted his brows together and dropped his hand from the wall to your shoulder, closing his eyes momentarily as he let his brain catch up with his mouth. He seemed a little lost in thought, with his hand gently massaging your shoulder and his chin tipped up towards the ceiling. He didnât move his head as he looked down at you and you wondered if he had any idea what he looked like right now. Somehow all the adorable-ness his outfit gave him was taken away and replaced for something else by just that one glance along the bridge of his nose.
âWas she mad?â you asked.
âOh, she was seething. Shouted all sorts of shit at him. I had a lot of cleaning to do after she threw her milkshake in his face, but it was worth it. According to Ben Iâm dead by the way. So now you know who to name as a prime suspect, should I ever disappear.â
âHe better not.â
Steve shrugged.
âWould be worth it.â
â
The bell above the door of Family Video clanged as you rushed in. Robin lifted her head but was clearly still counting some tapes in her head as she gave you a vague greeting and immediately focused back on her task at hand. Steve on the other hand, immediately poked his head above an aisle and approached you even before you could reach the counter.
âJakeâs gonna ask Trisha to marry him after graduation.â
You gasped and immediately punched his chest, causing him to âoomphâ and giving you a look of disbelief. Before he could ask why you punched him, you gave him the answer.
âI came all the way here to tell you that! Howâd you even find out?!â
Steve grinned and grabbed the hand you punched him with as he noticed you were subconsciously rubbing your fingers over your knuckles.
âOverheard Brenda and Kate talk about it here earlier,â he said with a nod towards the romcom aisle.
âUgh,â you groaned, âfor once I thought I would have something good to tell youâŚâ
Your pout deepened as you crossed your arms, shaking off his touch. Steve simply replaced it by putting his hand on top of your folded arms, his fingers walking a path from your elbow towards your wrist.
âYou did! I just knew it already,â Steve said with a chuckle. He watched you pout for a little longer as his fingers played with the hair tie on your wrist absentmindedly. You were too focused to keep up the play that you didnât notice his hesitation.
âHey, wanna watch a movie tonight?â
Just then, as if on cue, Robin poked her head above the horror aisle.
âYes!â
Steve glanced backwards and smiled softly at Robin, though as he nodded his expression looked a little off. He was chewing on the inside of his cheek until he saw you nod and released some of the tension he was subconsciously holding.
âYeah letâs. Which movie?â
Steve shrugged. He hadnât really thought of that. By now he had watched too many to count and there were only so many times you could watch the same movie in a week. He picked up the hair tie between his fingers and let it snap back on your wrist as he bit back a smile. You glared at him playfully, looking for something you could do in return. For a moment, he watched you in stunned silence as you brought your hand up to his neck, trailing your fingers through until you reached the back and yanked at it. Steve gasped and grabbed your hand, twisting you around until he had both your hands behind your back, his chin tucked into your shoulder.
âCaught you.â
As you relaxed in his arms, his breath tickled your neck. Somehow, neither of you had noticed Robin rounding the aisle and as she stopped in front of you, an impatient huff left her lips.
âWell? What movie, guys?â Steve froze around you for a moment and you slowly felt his grip loosening until he stepped aside to check out some of the movies they had.
âUhâŚâ
You held onto your own arms, realizing your cheeks were heating up and you took a quick few steps towards the door.
âIâll let it be a surprise, see you tonight! Your place, I assume?â you asked Steve without looking at him.
âYeah, sure.â
You left and Steve busied himself browsing through the movies with his fingers without remembering any of them.
âYou seemed disappointed when I joined movie night.â
Steve gave her a harmless glare.
âHuh? No I wasnât.â
Robin gave him an empathic smile.
âIf you say so.â
Steve shook his head with a laugh.
âWeâre just friends, Rob. Itâs not like that.â
â
3 years later
It was a Saturday night and you sat on the couch in Steveâs apartment, where you spent so much time you should honestly start paying rent. Not to mention all the products that you had in his bathroom, and the spare set of clothes in his closet. It was a little much, but your home was cramped, and it had been hard to find a place of your own that you could actually afford.
Steve had found a part time job as a basketball coach and filled the rest of his time either with you, Robin, the kids or his failed dates.
But mostly you.
âDo we really have to watch this romantic piece of bullshit?â Steve groaned, flipping over the tape in his hand. It looked small when he held it, somehow.
âHey now,â you shushed him, âjust because Jillian didnât let you get into her pants doesnât mean romance is a no go now. Besides, itâs my day to pick.â
You got up to put the tape in and when you sat back, his arm was already waiting for you. His blunt fingernails teased your shoulder as you settled against him.
âShe wouldâve let me, I was so sure of it. But after she came back from the bathroom she suddenly acted so fucking weirdâŚâ Steve mumbled as he thought back on it.
âMaybe she suddenly got her period?â you opted. That surely was something that could make you want to flee out of nowhere. Steve rolled his eyes.
âSo? There are pads and tampons,â Steve sighed. They were yours, or so Steve had said when you had asked why there were pads and tampons in a little basket in his bathroom. So you didnât have to bring your own all the time, had been his reasoning. It was sweet.
âYeah, well, I donât know.â âOr maybe she thought you had a girlfriend you were cheating on,â you offered gently. Steve groaned and leaned his head all the way back on the headrest.
âRobin said the same. But if I had had a female roommate no one would bat an eye, so whatâs the big deal youâve got some of your stuff in here?â
âWell, because you donât have a roommate, I guess?â you suggested with a shrug. His fingers lay flat on your shoulder now, giving it a light squeeze on occasion as he was thinking.
âWhatever. I donât want a girl that canât communicate anyway. Like, remember that whole ordeal with Nigel and Yessica? All that drama when it couldâve been solved if they had just asked each other rather than leaving it up to the townâs gossip?â
âYeah, well⌠at least it gives us something to discuss.â
Steve nodded, but it seemed that he already was too lost in his own thoughts.
âI want someone whoâs straight forward. Honest but kind. Funny. Warm. Also witty, sarcastic⌠just someone I can spend all day with without being bored. Where I can fully be myself without worrying about anything,â Steve mumbled.
âTheyâre out there, Steve, Iâm sure of it.â
He glanced at you, face a little too close for comfort.
âWhat about you, then? When was the last time you dated?â
âUh⌠Rick.â
Steve scowled.
âRick.â
âHe was fine.â
He rolled his eyes.
âOh please. If you told me he had bodies buried in his garden Iâd believe you.â
This time you rolled your eyes, sitting up a little so he had to remove his arm.
âYeah, of course you would, because you hated him for no fucking reason.â
Steveâs lips thinned a little but he gave you your space. Leaned back a little, though he kept his thigh against yours.
âI had many valid reasons. For one: He sucks.â
You laughed dryly and shook your head.
âThatâs an opinion, not a reason. You basically chased him away.â
âFor the better! You know Iâm right.â
âIf it were up to you, none of the guys are a good fit for me.â
Steve watched as you got up from the couch to grab a beer and wordlessly asked for one too. You sat down on the far end of the couch, away from Steve. He took a sip without removing his gaze from you and lifted one leg on the couch so he could turn to face you.
âBecause theyâre not.â
âSo itâs me.â
Steve frowned and shook his head. Somehow he had shifted closer on the couch without you noticing. His knee touched your thigh.
âWhat? No. Itâs all of them.â
âMy standards are just too high, I guess.â
Steve shook his head, his hand finding your knee.
âShut up, theyâre not. You deserve someone who actually appreciates you. All of you.â
A silent implication there, considering he knew all about your dating life. After Rick, you hadnât even bothered. You dated them only to numb the pain of listening to Steveâs date stories. And since for some reason Robin refused to listen to them, you were the designated person to tell.
Thanks, Robin.
âYeah, well, so do you.â
He gazed into your eyes, his face so much closer than you had anticipated when his finger lifted your chin gently.
âI appreciate all of you,â he said softly. You watched him silently as you connected the dots of his earlier spoken words to his current ones. His thumb caressed your cheek as he chewed on the inside of his cheek.
âYouâre⌠weâre friends,â you said softly, too scared to trust what his words implied.
âCanât we be more?â Steve asked, his voice soft as silk.
âCan we?â you whispered.
Steve nodded, his gaze dropping to your lips as he leaned in closer.
âYeah.â
He cupped your jaw a little stronger as he kissed you, as if he was scared youâd slip from his fingers the moment his lips brushed yours. You leaned forward, his hand resting on his chest. He let out a sweet sound when your fingers happened to brush his nipple and you used that leverage to swing your leg over his lap. His hands found your waist easily as he teared away his lips from yours to explore your neck.
âAh, Steve,â you whispered, encouraging him to continue. You let your hands roam over his chest until that wasnât enough and you let them dip under the hem of his shirt. He broke his attack on your neck to look at you hungrily as he lifted his arms above his head to take off his shirt, followed by a hesitant brush of his fingers along yours. With a nod, you gave him the permission to take it off and the look of appreciation at the sight made you feel warm inside. His hands found your waist again as he buried his face in your chest, licking the crevice of your boobs all the way up to your neck.
You felt how hard he was when you shifted your lips and a groan left him.
âSteve⌠when you said, more, what did you mean?â you asked softly.
Steve leaned back to look at you, eyes searching your face with urgency.
âIâ Like, everything? Sorryâ Did I⌠is it too much? Am I too much?â he rambled, a sudden nervosity taking over his system as his hands dropped from your body.
âNo! No, Steve, youâre never too much, silly,â you told him quickly, smoothing out the frown in his forehead with your thumb. âI just wanted to make sure this isnât like a⌠friends with benefits thing, for you,â you grunted out, cheeks heating up.
Steve let out a relieved sigh and his hands found your waist again, gently digging into your pliant skin.
âIâve been your friend with benefits for all I can remember. Your kindness, sarcasm, wit, humor, honesty⌠all of that and more I have benefitted from for the longest time. I just⌠Iâd want, like, to be your boyfriend with benefits. To have it all but to have all of you as well. Want you to be mine, Y/N. Mine only,â he told you sincerely. His eyes slowly turned a little mischievous as your smile relaxed and he moved his hands up to squeeze your boobs as he bit down on his bottom lip with a smile.
âAnd if that means I also get to, kiss you and stuff, all the better,â he said with a cheeky grin.
âAnd stuff, huh?â you mumbled affectionately, your thumbs finding his nipples to rub slow circles. Steveâs eyes rolled back and he nodded as he bit back a groan.
âUh-huh,â he sighed, âgod, keep doing that.â A beat. âPlease.â
You smirked and rolled your hips slowly against his.
âSo polite,â you murmured as your lips found his neck.
âI - ah - would like to say I was raised that way but I guess Iâve just always had it in me,â he said with a chuckle while his hands toyed with the sweatpants resting on your hips still. You laughed softly and hummed in agreement.
âItâs a little too hot for these sweats, donât you agree?â he asked then, a finger teasing along the waistband.
âYours too.â
âCan I keep my socks on?â
You leaned back and gave him a glare as he burst out laughing.
âSee?! Rick was not fine at all.â
âShut up. What about Layla with her âcall them mommy milkersâ spiel?â
Steve bit his lip with a smile.
âThat never happened, actually. Tried to make you jealous and failed.â
âYou thought that would make me jealous? It just made me reconsider my crush on you.â
âOuch?â
âJust not big on the whole mommy thing.â
âYeah, well, me neither.â
Steve kissed your collar bone and let his hands slide down your back to grab two handfuls of your ass. You let out a sweet noise, edging him on.
âBack to point oneâŚâ
âBack to Rick with his Star Wars socks during sexâŚâ
He pushed you against him, rolling his hips just in time. Not even Rick with his socks on could ruin this feeling for you. Steve moaned softly into your neck as he found just the right angle for the best amount of friction.
âHe came within a minute.â
âAssumed as much. Could tell you were lying your tits off when you said it was somewhere between two and five minutes. As if anyone times that.â
âYou said you could last fifteen.â
âCause I can!â
âSo you timed it,â you told him dryly.
Steve rolled his eyes and pushed down your sweats, making you get up to take them off so he could do the same.
âI can last as long as you need,â he promised you, âand look, my socks are off.â
âStill wearing too much clothes,â you mumbled as you snapped the waistband of his boxers. Steve laughed and turned you around so your back was facing the couch. His lips traveled down your chest as he unclasped your bra with one hand, not wasting a second to circle his tongue around one of your nipples as his fingers squeezed the other not too gently, eliciting a yelp from you. You yanked at his hair and he laughed breathily around your nipple.
âLike it when you do that,â he admitted. âNearly had me chub up when you did it that one time.â
He didnât need to tell you which time. It had been the one and only time you both had let it come a little too close for comfort. At least, too close to keep up the pretense that you werenât into each other.
âCould tell. Your cheeks turned pink.â
Steveâs lips explored your stomach while his hands squeezed and fondled your curves. He hooked his fingers around your underwear and easily pulled them down while his lips followed the fabric until there was nothing covering your pussy. He barely let you step out of them before he pushed you down on the couch and lifted your legs over his shoulders. He took his sweet time kissing up your thighs, though you could feel through the tremble of his fingers that he was as impatient and nervous as you were. You had been watching him worship your thighs with his eyes closed, but the moment his lips wrapped around your clit he gazed up at you through his lashes.
âSteveâŚâ
He grinned against your skin and slowly licked a stripe along your swollen lips, gathering juices to slicken up your clit with. Your hand was back in his hair before you knew it, his head bobbing as he started to eat you out hungrily. Noisily. Hands digging into the plush of your thighs as he opened them wider for better access. That fucker knew he was good at this.
Your hips bucked up to grind against him in tune with your moans and he strengthened his grip to keep in control of the pace, which he then brutally slowed down. You were about to complain when suddenly he went to town on you at full speed, his nose hitting your clit just right. The grip on his hair was none too gentle and you felt his warm moans vibrating against you. His tongue lapped at you impatiently, eyes focused on your flushed expression. He relished in the feeling of your thighs tightening around his face when you came all over his tongue.
He bullied your clit a little longer, smirking against your thigh before kissing it as you pinched his cheek to stop him. When he got back on his feet, you noticed his boxers had disappeared without you noticing. His cock was hard, the head slick from precome.
Wordlessly, you shifted on the couch and grasped his thighs to pull him close. He cupped your cheek, unable to hold back a moan as you wrapped your lips around the head and sucked none too gently. Soon enough, his hand was holding your hair in a makeshift ponytail despite letting you decide on the pace. You loved taking control. When you looked up as you bobbed your head noisily, he threw his head back with a groan. He needed to look away if he wanted this to last longer than a goddamn minute. You smirked around his cock and picked up the pace, relentlessly taking more and more of his length until your nose brushed the coarse hair above his base.
âJesus Christ, Y/NâŚâ
He couldnât help himself, his grip tightened on your hair and you felt him quickly thrust his hips. You let him and absently realized this was the first time you enjoyed the salty taste of his come in the back of your throat. He broke it off halfway, giving your cheek a sweet caress before turning around to grab a condom that he apparently stored in the drawer of the coffee table. You impatiently slapped his ass, making him yelp and accidentally tearing the first condom.
âMenace, that was a perfectly fine condom,â he complained with his back to you, and you could tell he was smiling. You shrugged and leaned forward giving the spot you slapped a kiss instead. And then a nibble.
âYour ass looks biteable, yâknow that?â you mumbled, kneading his ass with a longing sigh as you remembered all the times his ass had looked so good in his jeans.
Steve laughed.
âYeah, well, so does yours.â
He turned around, condom wrapped and ready, though Steve seemed to hesitate.
âSecond thoughts?â you asked, unable to filter your worries.
Steve scoffed and shook his head.
âOf course not, silly. I justâ Come on.â
He grabbed your hand to pull you up and started guiding you to the bedroom.
âWant you to be comfortable,â he explained, and if that didnât make you meltâŚ
He propped up some pillows just perfectly and made sure you were comfortable before he positioned himself above you.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he said softly, leaning down to kiss the part of your body that covered the heart that carried so much love for him. His hand slipped between you two, playing with you some more so he was certain youâd feel good once heâd go inside. He kissed you deeply, slowly, really taking his time compared to your first kiss. You both loved kissing. It was one of the many things you had shared complaints about when your dates werenât into it as much. You had lost count how many times you had mentioned you could kiss for hours, secretly thinking of the other person.
Steve gazed into your eyes as he pushed inside slowly, his breath hitching as the sensations overtook his body. He moved without a rush, relishing being able to watch your expression as he fucked into you. His moans escaped from his lips whenever your lips werenât against his to silence them. His tongue darted out to lick your ear and a gasp left you as he moved down and bit your neck. Your nails scratched his back as his thrusts became harder, your moans no longer contained by the press of your lips. You wrapped your legs around his hips, allowing him to fuck deeper. Sweat dripped from his forehead, mixing with yours as droplets found a way into your hairline.
âY/N⌠baby, fuckâŚâ
Slow, hard thrusts helped him ride out his orgasm while his hand flicking over your clit got you clenching around his cock until you knocked over the edge. The muscles in his arms were shaking as he kept himself from collapsing on top of you, so you poked his side to make him collapse anyway.
âOof,â you groaned, followed by a laugh.
âI was trying not to crush you,â Steve mumbled into your neck, humming pleasantly as he inhaled your shampoo.
âMaybe I wanted you to crush me. Needed some pain to know if this was all real.â
âSure hope itâs real. Never came this hard.â
You snorted.
âIt didnât take fifteen minutes, though,â you told him, even though you had no idea.
âI told you Iâd last as long as you needed me and uh, by the way you tried to clench my dick off I think I did just fine,â he responded cockily through a giggle.
âTouchĂŠ,â you mumbled.
âMmmm.â
Steve gave you a kiss, slowly, sweetly. He rested his head next to yours, slowly moving his body off of you in favor to pull your leg over his waist as he cuddled you close.
âWould it be too soon to tell you that I love you?â Steve asked, looking at you with what you could only describe as love in his eyes.
âNormally thatâs a definite red flag, even you said so,â you said teasingly as you combed your fingers through his damp chest hair. âBut if I said I love you too, then that would make two red flags, and two negatives is a positive, right?â
Steve shrugged, a smile spreading on his face.
âIâm sure thereâs an argument against that, but I was never good at math anyway.â
âMe neither.â
Steve smiled and put his hand on top of yours.
âI love you.â
You leaned in for a soft kiss.
âI love you too.â
He watched you quietly, content and happy. At least, until a frown formed on his forehead and he cursed softly.
âWhat is it?â
âI lost the bet.â
You pushed lightly against his chest.
âThis better not be one of those movie plots where you pretend to fall in love with someone for a bet and then supposedly actually fall for them and shit,â you tell him with narrowed eyes, although you knew Steve would never do that.
Steve laughed and shook his head.
âNah, Robin bet me that Iâd sleep with you the moment weâd confess our feelings to each other, and yes I say each other because she was convinced you liked me too and I did not believe her. So I said bet, because I thought this,â he said as he gestured between you both, âwas never gonna happen. So⌠yeah. Well. No regrets, though, obviously,â he mumbled, stealing another kiss.
âWhat did you bet for?â
âTaking her shift every Saturday, even if that means a double shift for me,â Steve groaned, âand you know what she said? She said: âIt will be for the better, because I know you two. I donât wanna be around when you fuck like rabbits in the adult section.â as if weâd everââ
You gave him a look.
âOkay, she was probably right but still! Ruthless, that one.â
âSheâs gonna be soooo smugâŚâ you mumbled.
âYeah, itâs gonna be hell.â
âIâll just ravish you on a random Tuesday to torment her,â you shrugged and Steve laughed.
âI like the sound of that.â
âThought you would.â
His hand wandered over your thigh and he smirked slowly.
âWanna take a shower? Thereâs a girl who left basically all her toiletries here so Iâm sure thereâs something you can use.â
âHow convenient.â
âVery.â
Steveâs gaze was absolutely smitten, and you were pretty sure your expression matched his perfectly.

Waitingđ¤
Summary: After decades of being alone without a love of his own he finally finds her in a gloomy town of forks, his brother Edward isnât the only lucky one
Pairing: Emmett Cullen x f! Swan reader
Warning: angsty, fluffy sunshine Emmett
â˘Masterlistâ˘
I never thought much about the future until suddenly the friends I adored most started relationships and left me in the past as if our friendship never even mattered, like their boyfriend was the most important thing
My sister and I use to be close as kids but when she moved away with our mom and rarely visited me and dad, who she regularly called Charlie, we grew apart leaving me feeling like I lost all my friends and my sister, after a while I grew depressed and I never wanted to leave the house, dad grew concerned and after many absent calls from school he allowed me to start home schooling myself and my grades have never been better
Most nights it was just me and Charlie some days Iâd get the courage to go down to the reserve hang out on the beach with Leah, Seth and Jake, sometimes Iâd go for hikes in the forest behind the house just to clear my head, but other than that Iâd stay in my room listening to music, reading the books dad would bring home for me, and doing school work
Thatâs how life was for so many years, it was routine and it never bothered me and dad loved having me around, after Bella and mom left he was so broken and with my help, even as a little girl, I pulled him out of that deep dark hole and he became that Charlie that joked around and made me smile
But then dad got the call that Bella was moving back for the rest of highschool since mom would be traveling with Phil for baseball, hopeful that I could reconnect with my sister again
Dad and I picked out a new bed spread for her hoping sheâd love it, and he even let me pick out a new book as a thank you for helping him out with getting everything ready for her arrival, after a few days it was time for dad to go pick Bella up from the airport in port angeles, I was a nervous wreck which was crazy I mean sheâs my sister why should I be nervous
Finally the familiar sheriff cruiser pulled up in the drive way, I walked out the door with an umbrella quickly shuffling over to Bella to cover her from the rain knowing how she favoured the warm dry weather, complete opposite of me
âWelcome home Bella!â I smiled as we walked back inside as dad got her bags following closely behind
She shook off her coat and placed her little cactus down on the counter
âYouâve grown so much youâre a year younger but youâre already taller than meâ she said as she hugged me
âCome on bells weâll show you your room!â Dad said as he walked up the stairs with her bags
She settled in for the rest of the day until it was supper time, I set out the table and dished up our meal, dads game playing in the background as we ate
âSo are you excited for school on Monday?â I asked
âNot really but atleast Iâll have you thereâ
âWhat? No im homeschooled rememberâ
âWellâŚ..â dad drawled out
âDad what did you do?â My heart was racing now at the implication
âI thought since Bellaâs back now it would be good for you to get out there again, you need some experiences honeyâ
âBut you know I have no one there, no one wants to be friends with me weâve been over thisâ
âYou might make new friends honey, give give it a chance for your old manâ I sighed slumping back in my chair trying to wrap my head around having to socialize again
âAtleast youâll be with me, dad said since your grades are so good you got bumped up a grade and can have some certain classes together, depending on our coursesâ that settled my anxiety a little
Bella and dad cleaned up from dinner as I sat out on the porch, in desperate need for fresh air to do its magic, only 2 more days and Iâll be back in a school again, who knows maybe some new kids have arrived and arenât too set in their groups yet
Monday came quickly and I was a ball of nerves, I glanced in the mirror as made sure my hair was just the way I wanted, wearing a casual outfit, simple flared black leggings, a dark rich blue longsleeve with my old worn out dark brown carhartt jacket, quickly spraying my vanilla perfume
I walked down stairs to meet Bella in the kitchen, she grabbed an apple as she picked up her backpack from the table
âAre you ready to go?â She asked
âAlmost can I make a tea quickly?â She nodded and I quickly wiped together a chai tea latte, grabbing my lunch from the fridge and meeting her in the truck dad had gotten for us but since I didnât have my license, seeing as I never needed one before now, she would be driving us
The drive to school was calming, hearing the steady rain fall against the windshield, pulling into the parking lot everyone stared until we got out, I kept my eyes down as Bella led me to the schools main office
âOkay hereâs your schedule, we have math together at the end of the day, the bells about to ring so I gotta head to world history are you good to find your way to chemistry?â
âOh ummm yeah Iâll be fineâ
âOkay see you at lunchâ she smiled gently before she left down the hall
Looking at my schedule I memorized the room number hoping it wouldnât be too hard to find, turning the corner I rammed into what felt like a brick wall, dropping my books I look infront of me to see the most beautiful guy Iâve ever seen, his eyes a golden amber, hair as dark as night and his skin as pale as snow
âSorry about that, I havenât seen you around beforeâ he said soothingly as he handed me the books that had momentarily scattered the floor, not even realizing he had picked them up, too busy oogling him I suppose
âOh yeah Iâm just re-enrolling here again, just trying to find my classâ he looked down at my schedule a striking smile adorning his face
âCome this way gorgeous, got the same classâ walking along the mostly bare hallways I noticed his gentle glide, Iâve never seen such aâŚ..well such a perfect human, obviously I was way out of my league if I could think heâd ever be interested in me, I mean Iâm plain and simple what would he ever see in me, best I stay in my lane, but dad did want me to make friends so that couldnât hurtâŚ.right?
We got to the classroom and the teacher assigned us to sit together, the class went by pretty boring, every now and then Iâd take glances at Emmett and I swear he did the same but he was probably just looking at someone else, moments like this made me wish I was a beautiful as my sister, she never had a problem with guys wanting her, they basically drooled over her, even if she never acted on any offers she was still wanted
It felt like I was a living ghost most days, no one noticed me anywhere Iâd go, a big reason I wanted to be homeschooled, now Iâm thrown back into this miserable place, Iâll bet by lunch time Bella with have a table full of new friends while I sit alone, not even a second glance from anyone
Lunch time rolled around and as I entered the cafeteria I searched for Bella and just as I guessed she was surrounded with bright smiles, excited to get to know her, she glanced my way and I waved hoping sheâd wave me over to sit but she just gave a half assed smile and got back to talking with her new friends, I felt my heart rip at that, thinking things would be different this time with her here but I guess I was wrong
I found an empty table near the windows and made myself comfortable for another lonely lunch, I pulled out my bag from my backpack but my appetite was lost and I had no desire to eat so I just pushed my lunch to the side and looked out the window just wanting to go home
{Emmettâs POV}
I couldnât get her out of my head, sheâs the most beautiful girl Iâve ever seen and her blood sings to me, when she bumped into me in the hallway I felt my whole world shift, she didnât talk much but just being near her felt right
Lunch came, my least favourite part of the day, having to pretend for an hour, I glanced around the cafeteria hoping to catch a glimpse of my mate again, my eyes landed on her sat alone looking glum a few tables down, the others followed my gaze and smiled knowingly
âWhoâs she?â Rosalie asked
âI think sheâs my mateâ
âHer thoughts are overwhelming loudâ Edward stated
âWhat do you mean?â I asked nervously
âSheâs not the happiest girl, I can hear how depressed she is, how unwanted she feelsâ
âI can feel how broken her heart isâ Jasper added
This has to be the worst feeling knowing the one Iâm suppose to love unconditionally and she is quite perfect in my eyes, has been broken and feels unloved
I got up from the table and made my way to her sliding in the seat across from her, her eyes were so glazed over with sadness she didnât even realize I sat down
{Normal pov}
âSo howâs your first day?â I jumped snapping out of my thoughts noticing Emmett is sat across from me
âOh sorry I didnât see you, ummm today has been fine I guess, thanks again for helping me earlierâ
âItâs not problem, umm I was wondering maybe if youâre not too busy this weekend if youâd wanna hang out?â My heart raced at this
âReally? You wanna hang out with me?â
âYeah of course, who would wanna spend time with the most beautiful girl in the schoolâ his smile warmed my heart but quickly faded at a realization
âIs this a prank, because if it is itâs cruelâ I said as my bottom lip wobbled
âNo what? I would never do something like that I really wanna get to know you, so how about after school on Friday Iâll meet you in the parking lot and we can go do something?â
âOkayâŚâŚsure id really like thatâ his face beamed with excitement
âPerfect itâs a date then gorgeousâ
This felt surreal thereâs no way there wasnât a catch here, how could someone wanna spend their free time with me, but like Charlie said it doesnât hurt to try, I just hope this doesnât break my heart more
