wrapped in you

paige bueckers x reader

summary: you’re having an off day and paige is the sweetest and cheers you up

You weren’t sure when the heaviness settled in your chest, but it had been there all day—pressing down, making everything feel dull and overwhelming. It wasn’t one specific thing, but a mix of small disappointments, stress, and exhaustion stacking up until it felt like you were sinking.

And no matter how much you tried to hide it, Paige noticed.

She always did.

It started in the morning when she caught you staring off into space at breakfast, your spoon lazily stirring your cereal until it went soggy. Then at lunch, when you barely touched your food, only offering a half-hearted smile when she asked if you were okay.

By the time you were curled up on the couch in the afternoon, scrolling aimlessly on your phone, she had seen enough.

Paige plopped down next to you, resting her chin on your shoulder. “Alright, what’s up?”

You blinked, caught off guard. “Huh?”

Paige poked your side gently. “You’ve been in a funk all day. Talk to me.”

You sighed, shrugging. “It’s nothing.”

Paige wasn’t buying it. “Baby, you can’t fool me.”

You chewed your lip, debating whether to just brush it off again. But the way Paige was looking at you—soft but serious, like she wasn’t going to let this go—made it hard to keep up the act.

“I just feel… off,” you admitted finally. “Like everything is too much, and I don’t even know why.”

Paige was quiet for a moment before shifting closer, putting your legs on her thighs. She reached for your hand, running her thumb over your knuckles in slow, comforting strokes.

“That’s okay,” she said softly. “You don’t have to explain it if you don’t know how. But you don’t have to deal with it alone either.”

Something in your chest loosened slightly. Paige always had a way of making you feel understood, even when you didn’t understand yourself.

But the heaviness was still there, lingering like a storm cloud.

Paige studied you for a beat before standing up abruptly.

“Okay, we’re fixing this,” she declared.

You frowned, confused. “Fixing what?”

“Your mood,” she said matter-of-factly. “Stay right there. I have a plan.”

Before you could protest, she disappeared into the bedroom, leaving you sitting there, bewildered. A few minutes later, she returned, her arms full—blankets, her hoodie, a bag of your favorite snacks, and even her laptop balanced precariously on top.

You couldn’t help but smile a little. “What are you doing?”

“I want to cheer up my favorite person ,” she announced proudly. She draped the hoodie over your lap first. “Put this on.”

You rolled your eyes but slipped the oversized hoodie over your head anyway. It smelled like her—like fresh laundry and vanilla, warm and familiar.

Paige grinned when she saw you relax slightly. She threw a blanket over both of you, pulling you close so you were practically in her lap. “No escaping. You’re officially trapped.”

You let out a soft laugh. “You’re ridiculous.”

“Ridiculously good at making you feel better? Yeah, I know,” she said smugly.

You rolled your eyes, but Paige caught the way your lips twitched into the tiniest smile.

She handed you a bag of your favorite chips before opening her laptop. “We can watch a movie, or I can show you funny TikToks, or we can talk about something completely random. Your choice.”

You hesitated before murmuring, “Can we just stay like this for a bit?”

Paige’s expression softened. “Of course.”

She wrapped her arms around you, holding you close as you rested your head against her shoulder. She didn’t try to force you to talk or pretend everything was fine. She just stayed there, warm and steady, letting you take whatever comfort you needed.

After a few minutes, she started absentmindedly running her fingers through your hair. “You know,” she mused, “whenever I have a bad day—like when my shots aren’t falling, or I feel like I’m not doing enough—I try to remind myself of the good things. The little things that make everything worth it.”

You tilted your head slightly, curious. “Like what?”

Paige smiled, her fingers still tracing soothing patterns in your hair. “Like how my dad always texts me before every game. Or how the team hypes each other up even on our worst days. Or…” She paused, her smile turning softer. “Or how you always wait up for me, even when you’re tired. And how you steal my hoodies but somehow make them look better than I do.”

You let out a quiet laugh, your chest feeling just a little lighter.

Paige nudged you playfully. “See? Smiling already. My plan is working.”

“You’re something else i swear” you murmured.

“Yeah, yeah, I get that a lot,” she said dramatically. Then, in a softer voice, “But seriously… I love you. And I’m always gonna be here, even when you’re feeling off.”

Your throat tightened—not with sadness this time, but with gratitude. Paige didn’t need grand gestures or fancy words to make you feel loved. She just knew you. Understood you. And that was enough.

You squeezed her hand. “I love you too.”

Paige grinned. “I know.”

You groaned, nudging her. “Don’t get cocky.”

“Too late,” she said, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead before turning her laptop screen toward you. “Alright, since you didn’t pick a distraction, I’m putting on a rom-com, and you have to deal with it.”

You shook your head but didn’t protest. Paige hit play, and soon enough, the movie was filling the room with cheesy dialogue and over-the-top romance.

But your focus wasn’t on the screen. It was on Paige—the way she absentmindedly played with your fingers, the way she laughed at all the dumb jokes, the way she kept sneaking glances at you like she was making sure you were okay.

And somehow, without you even realizing it, the heaviness that had weighed you down all day didn’t feel so suffocating anymore.

It didn’t fix everything. But sitting there, wrapped up in Paige’s warmth, her heartbeat steady against your ear, you realized something important.

Even on the hardest days, you weren’t alone.

And that was enough.

@melpthatsme hope u like it!

One thing about me is that if you shun or try to isolate a friend of mine (or just anyone who you’ve dubbed a “fault in the system” or harmful despite evidence to the contrary) after you misjudged them for being a bad or malicious or untrustworthy person, I am going to rabidly support them and be extra fucking loud about it and make sure their voices are heard from every corner and it will literally be my driving force to stay online and alive for years.

Cursed AU(Part 1)

Cw/Tw - Blood, cannibalism, implied kidnapping, isolation, existential crisis

Ft. Sukuna and Itadori

Doing These two first cuz I got thoughts. General looks, some personality things, and D-Eval.

RYOMEN SUKUNA

He’s a spider fuckin thang. He has A LOT of spider motifs. His marks are like webbing along the body, 4 arms, 4 eyes, spiderweb cleave, the poison pit and him being the most “venomous” thing, eating other humans, etc. “The tattoos are like tiger stripes tho-“ ugh brotha please be a little more creative like come on. Yes they do, but also they can look like other things too! Anyway, also the Earth Spider or tsuchigumo. People or families seen as demons for opposing the emperor. They were often also described as long limbed, hostile, and uncivilized. These yokai of these are also portrayed to eat people. Ya seein it? Yea? Spider demon thang.

I’m not saying a drider/arachnae in shape. Keep the four arms but give four spiders arms too (with the spider paws!) from like… the hips/small of the back maybe? Give a spider butt tail thing maybe? Now make it a fire elemental spider monster. Gray skin that looks like ash with a lighter underside, keep the tattoos, give those mouth hand things spiders have but they come from inside the mouth and can fold back in. For both mouths. He can create a web now and it can either cut at will whatever it’s on or set on fire. You feeling me? Yeah you are. Also his bone growth on his face? Exoskeleton plating. I’m so genius.

But also.

I really like the like “faking to be human” thing. Everyone saying he’s a demon, a curse, anything but a mortal man. So maybe he’s got more spider motifs in general but leans more into the fake human thing. If we lean into the fake human more then I’d say his personality might shift a bit. He’s a collector now, gets people for his “family”. Uraume as his “kid” and the others too. He’s willing to entertain visitors far more but if you’re rude or anything he will kill you and you have no chance of becoming part of his “Family” or “neighborhood”. Likes the idea of an age of curses but also he likes humans. His web/shrine is his “neighborhood” where he’s creating his own kingdom/empire for people. Okay I think I kinda like this more.

Appearance wise I think keep the gray from the initial spider idea, fuck it up add some exoskeleton shit too why not. Then get rid of his face. Keep his eyes and have the spider mouth hands that come from the void but you can’t see them normally.

D-EVALUATION

Two, still. Coming from a slit. Prehensile, tentacle like. It’s got a weird foreskin that’s protecting the actual dick that once pulled back will start to come out. Sheathed, about 6in with 5.4in girth. Unsheathed, 11in with 5in girth. No balls, they’re internal now. Can’t decide if they should be ovipositors or have normal curse cum. Anywaayyyyy. He’s not as hairy anymore. Black sheath/foreskin, red tentacle dick. It kinda glows, the red part.

YUJI ITADORI

Like unc like gran nephew. That fake human vibe, give Yuji a second set of arms, no face, except instead of fire let’s go for blood. Keeping a spider theme tho. Blood wise Yuji has a lot of blood motifs and symbolism. His heart being ripped out, loosing limbs, found family, the blood of his friends, his blood family. You can see it yeah? I think like Sukuna, he also craves this idea of humanity, of “family” but also he has a focus on life and death too. He tries to not eat people, he tries really really hard, but god do they smell good. Sukuna is telling him to just eat and stop being so emotional, animals eat animals it’s fine! Deep down Yuji wants to JUST be human, to able to go to school, to make friends, to be seen. He wants to live a proper life and have a proper death..!

This leads to him isolating. He spirals hard. When he stresses he leaks blood and it gets messy. He wants to live in the neighborhood with Sukuna and his family, but it feels wrong and weird! It feels right too! He wants to understand, what he’s missing! He spends weeks hiding in his room, binging shows and books, bed rotting hardcore. He loves using the internet to watch people and he REALLY wants to try and meet people online to feel some kind of connection. Play video games with someone! He’d totally kidnap someone if he felt strongly enough or was enthralled enough by them. He’s feels really bad about it too and just continuously be apologizing about it but that he needs them/you.

D-EVALUATION

Like Sukuna’s but smaller, sheathed 4.5in with 4.7in girth. Unsheathed 8in with 4.5in girth. Black sheath/foreskin, but the tentacle is red maroon-ish. Kinda like a red warmer wine color? I dunno. It also glows but his cum looks like blood instead of the normal curse cum

hrghhh I really gotta finish second circus

[mossy-paws]

Bio oc doodle requests

okay so! I am very bored and my motivation to finish other projects is kind of down BUT!! I really wanna draw my biograft oc’s more so I’m looking at all of you to give me some :3

aaaaa it’s preferred nothing big but if you ask any specific questions (specifically about lore) I may draw some somewhat bigger stuff depending on what it is! Preferred that these are just small low effort doodles though :3!

these are my bio oc’s btw- ask away :3 (Their names are Clementine, Mossgraft, and WALL-E btw! Mainly looking for Clementine requests though at the moment (he’s the bio in the last image))

[danielnelsen]

peach (my cat) is having a full-day vet appointment to scan and possibly remove some teeth (the perks of only being allowed wet food)

completely unrelated, but anything regarding peach’s health or her being somewhere else or anything even mildly off with her routine or behaviour is probably by biggest anxiety and panic trigger

[titsthedamnseason]

since i haven’t pissed off enough people today i’ll say something else. i’m actually not a fan of surprise song mashups and i’m glad this wasn’t a thing when it was my show

[lilnasxvevo]

I don’t WANT to write emails I’m too COLD AND SLEEPY to write emails

[chibishortdeath]

Great googley moogley it’s all going to shit! Every day becomes exponentially more terrifying!

And all perfectly timed to just right at the start of what’s supposed to be my adult life where I get my shit together and be useful and productive!

[cerealmonster15]

it also occurred to me like yesterday that in my kali/sil fic I’ve been writing I think I like, focused so hard on figuring out characterization and relationship dynamic accuracy and also just fighting for my life with the plot that I believe I neglected to like. Mention silvers sleepy boy situation like,,, at all. Maybe once offhandedly??? Like I didn’t forget it’s a part of him but I think somehow I just forgot to work it into the fic at all when it’s generally a pretty big part of his character 😭😭😭 like maybe it’s bc we’ve been in book 7 and it hasn’t come up in the dream zone (I forget if he mentioned if he’s just not sleepy boy in the dream realms, probably lol) so maybe that’s why I forgot??? But even then I literally went to some of the vignettes to study how he talks with kalim and the sleepies does come up in those examples….. I feel like it’s just something I was like “yeah yeah that’s a given I need to figure out the rest of him rn tho cuz he’s more than just a sleepy guy” so hard that it slipped my mind completely….. I went too hard in the other direction….

Got rear-ended 🤗

[curiosity-killed]

Im not going to say anything coherent here but there’s something about the way presentation at work is so blatantly and unequally split down gender lines* and how women are often (in my experience) the ones who reinforce those expectations when you don’t perform them and often reinforce them through the guise** of care which, in itself, is an expected and rewarded trait of femininity

*its not just gender and i know it gets even messier when you get into how “professionalism” is defined and policed wrt POC

**guise isn’t quite the right word because it implies a little too much malicious intentionality and I don’t think it usually is but the impact is annoying as fuck

[anneboonchuys]

well. at least i finally made a planning

i think the most evil thing testosterone did to me is rid me of my ability to cry. it’s not that i feel the urge to cry less in fact i feel the urge to cry the exact same amount and yet there’s a terrible barrier !!!!!!!
