the holiday runaway II a.putellas
7K of good ole christmas angst straight from the fresaverse the holiday runaway II a.putellas (before the void blurb)
â-but mami why did you not say no!â alexia huffed with a fierce scowl, eli sighing and shaking her head as she turned toward her eldest.
âalexia. ya te lo he dicho. i said no, but they are coming anyway! they just want to help, help to make it a nice holiday, a family holiday.â eli warned, turning back to furiously mixing the bowl of batter in front of her.
âso you, me, alba and fresa. we are not enough of a family?â alexia scoffed as eli rolled her eyes. âjust because papi died does not mean we-â alexia stopped at the sound of the shatter, eli mixing so intensely the bowl cracked and the batter spilt all over the counter.
âalexia!â eli snapped in frustration , the girl falling silent as footsteps sounded and within seconds both of her other daughters arrived. âwhat happened? mami, estĂĄs bien?â alba asked with a concerned frown, stepping forward to help clean but stopping in her tracks as eli held up a dirty hand.
âi will clean this up. just both of you, change your sheets over and make your beds, clean your rooms and help your hermanita do hers too.â eli ordered, wetting a sponge as you frowned in confusion. âbut mami my rooms not dirty!â you piped up as eli paused and exhaled deeply.
âfresa, hija. your tĂa y tĂo are going to stay in your room when they are here remember? you will share with alba, and alexia will-â the woman couldnât even finish her sentence before your eldest sister interrupted.Â
âalexia will go to jenniâs. esto es una mierda!â the brunette spat, detesting the entire idea of half the family descending on the house for the holidays and having made this known but her protests fell on deaf ears, and so she wasnât planning to stick around for the chaos.Â
she didnât want it, all of the pitying looks, the overcompensation, the extra hugs and kisses and assurances everything was going to be fine.
her papi wouldnât be there to dress up as santa, he wouldnât be there to build presents refusing to use the instructions, he wasnât there to cook christmas eve dinner, wasnât there to wrap everything last minute and wake alexia up at ten at night to help him.
things werenât fine, this was their first christmas without him and all alexia wanted was to forget it was even happening. she didnât want to celebrate, didnât want to buy gifts and make a big fuss, she just wanted to sleep and let it all pass her by.
âbien. i do not have time for this they will be here in an hour.â your mami began furiously cleaning the batter from the counter as alba carefully plucked up the shards of the broken bowl, and you charged after your sister who marched off to the front door.
âale but you canât go!â you latched onto her leg and looked up with the best pleading puppy dog eyes you had, ones which normally melted your sister like a stick of butter in the sun but today was not that day.
ânot now fresa.â your sister warned quietly, pulling you off and sitting down to wrestle on her shoes. âbut-but we have to be together ale, its christmas!â you tried again, arms wrapping around your sisters knee and eyes begging for her to change her mind.
âi said not now.â she pulled you off again, holding you off with one arm white trying to tie her shoe with the other, giving up and kicking her shoes off, sheâd put them on in the car.Â
âbut what about all the stuff we do? the lights? movies? cookies? you promised.â you stomped your foot, tears welling up in the corners of your eye as your sister didnât even spare a glance, standing up and grabbing her keys off the hook.
âsĂ? well sometimes people break promises.â alexia muttered, stopping with her hand on the door as again you latched on tightly to her leg. âbut you donât, best friends donât and you promised alexia, you promised that-â your words fell short as your sister grabbed a fistful of your shirt and yanked you off.
âvĂĄyase! go bother someone else.â and with that you were shoved away, the door opening and slamming closed so hard one of the pictures fell off the wall and you winced hearing your mami scream angrily after your sister who wasnât there to hear, already sat in her car and shoving the key in the ignition.
bottom lip wobbling you sank down to the floor, tucking your knees up and trying to make yourself as small and as tight as you could, watching as alexia backed out of the driveway, gone.
â-you promised christmas would still be fun without papi.â
~
âfresa? terminaste? they will be here soon!â you looked up from your place on the floor and nodded, your toys all put away in their correct place as you finished shoving the race track your sisters made you for your matchbox cars very carefully under your bed.
âalba! dĂ©jalos en paz!â you shot up to your feet as your sister began to gather your small army of stuffed animals from their rightful place on your bed, tugging on the hem of her shirt and trying to grab them back.
âtĂa y tĂo cannot sleep with all your baby crap on the bed fresa.â alba rolled her eyes, pushing you away with her foot and sliding open your cupboard, stashing your furry friends away on the top shelf you couldnât reach.
âbut this is where they live! on my bed! what if they get sad and scared up there? its dark and its cold and-â you tried to climb up your drawers to reach them, your sister snagging the back of your sweatshirt and tugging you off before you could hurt yourself, sliding your cupboard closed again.
âthey will be scared? or you will be scared?â your sister teased with a smirk as your eyes narrowed into a glare. âaww can bebĂ©s pequeños not sleep without their teddy bears?â alba pouted mockingly, messing up your hair and holding you off with a hand against your forehead as you tried to swing at her.
âmânot a baby!â âare too.â âam not!â âare too, and you better not drool in your sleep tonight monstruito.â you hit the floor with a huff and a thump, alba shoving you and leaving your room as you scowled after her, your plan to chase her down interrupted by knocks at the door.
you heard your mami answer, pulling it open as a symphony of voices and greetings sounding out, you jumped to your feet and hurried out toward the source.
âsuperestrella!â you were intercepted by your tĂo danny, tossed up into the air with a giggle, arms wrapping around his neck in a tight hug as he jokingly pretended to drop you before warmly kissing your cheek hello.
âtĂo where is angel?â you asked excitedly, pushing up with your hands on his shoulders and trying to peer past the crowd of relatives in the front door, determined to spot your favourite dopey four legged companion.
âoh lo siento angel could not come chica, he is at home!â your tĂo explained as you visibly deflated with a small oh of disappointment, the older mans toothy grin fading a little as you did so.Â
âoye there is no frowning en navidad! santa is always watching.â he tickled your stomach as you managed a small smile, pushing his hand away and placed down on the floor, wincing as your cheeks were smooshed and pinched and kissed until finally you managed to scurry away.
you found eli in the kitchen avidly discussing something with two of your tĂaâs, but it all stopped the moment your footsteps were heard, eli shushing the women sharply with a click of her tongue as you arrived.
âmami where is everyone gonna sleep? in the backyard?â you asked with a puzzled frown, the three women laughing at your question as you were lifted to sit on one of the island stools.
âsĂ we are camping nena!â one of your tĂaâs teased, pinching your cheek as you grimaced and eli chuckled. âpapi liked camping, alexia said he could build a tent in ten seconds!â you chimed in holding up all ten of your fingers, a strange silence falling as both women behind you shared a concerned look which had eli rolling her eyes.
âhe was mija, the best tent builder, and the best at fishing! he was always catching us dinner when we went camping.â your mami encouraged, pushing your fringe out of your face with a soft smile that you returned.Â
âfish are slimy.â you pulled a face of disgust which made her chuckle, both other women seemingly relaxing a little but eli could tell this entire week was going to be walking on egg shells, and not for everyone else.
âyou ate fish for dinner the other week fresa, in the restaurant!â one of your cousins laughed as he walked in, messing up your hair as you scowled and smacked his hand away.
âthat fish was for food, not for swimming!â you replied in a duh tone as the boy gasped sarcastically, smacked over the head by his mother who glared in warning, causing your cousin to shrink and wander away again.
but despite your concerns, the sleeping arrangements were set. half the family were staying with your abuela and abuelo on the other side of town, and half were squishing into the putellas household where everyone would gather for the celebrations later in the week.
three of your cousins were taking up alexiaâs room and a blow up mattress, another was crashing with alba as were you on the other blow up in there too. your room was for one set of adults, the other couple crashing on the sofa bed out in the garage. tĂo danny was on the couch, alexia was apparently at jenniâs and eli, at her families insistence, had her room to herself.
only when you arrived to your new sleeping quarters, you frowned not seeing the mattress where it was supposed to be, most of the floor still occupied with albas clothes, bags and shoes, which she was supposed to have cleaned up.
âwhat?â the older girl asked with a frown of annoyance as you hovered in the doorway, backpack shoved to the brim with god knows what and several books clutched in hand. âiâm sleeping here.â you reminded in case sheâd forgotten, but the eye roll confirmed she hadnât.
âsĂ, sleeping. is it time to sleep? no. vĂĄyase!â alba pointed for you to leave as you frowned. âwheres my bed?â you questioned, taking a step forward as your sister shuffled off her own bed where sheâd been sat gossiping with your cousin who sent you a wink and a wave.
âhere.â alba kicked a few things away to create a tiny circle of space in the furthest corner of the room. âon the floor?â you gasped with wide eyes of shock.Â
âi canât sleep on the floor!â you argued when she made no move to say another word, the older girl rolling her eyes and tugging open her cupboard, pulling something out with a grunt and dropping it to the floor, pushing a few more things out of the way to make room.
âallĂ, a bed.â your sister gestured as you continued to stare at her in bewilderment as if sheâd grown two hands. âthat is for angel!â you huffed and pointed to the shaggy dog bed now sat on the floor. âso? you are the same size.â alba snickered, flicking your ear as she passed you.
âalba! no seas cruel con ella. ven aquĂ preciosa, tell me about school!â your cousin laughed, patting a space on the bed and gesturing for you to climb up and sit beside her. though no sooner had you taken one step forward you were being lifted off the ground by the straps of your bulging backpack, carried right over to the door and dropped past the threshold.
âthis line? no insectos allowed past until it is time to sleep.â and with that the door was promptly closed in your face, a quick jiggle of the handle proving alba had locked it too as your shoulders sagged, trudging away and dragging your backpack behind you.
but then you heard cheering and your head snapped up, noticing the rest of your cousins kicking a football around in the backyard.Â
so leaving your backpack and your books by the sofa you raced off to join in, but no sooner did you appear were you once again sent away, warned you were too little and might get hurt, arguments ignored as you were shooed off and trudged back inside with a huff.
you tried asking one of your tĂos to build legos with you, alexia having bought you a brand new set last week as apology for forgetting to pick you up from school, but he was on his way out to buy another gas bottle for the bbq, and your requests to come with him were dismissed as the front door closed in your face.
you asked one of your tĂas if she wanted to colour in or help you read or write a story, having homework to learn ten new words from your list over the break, but she was busy redecorating the tree, claiming the theme was off and it had too much red and not enough gold and it was just all wrong.
you tried explaining that you always helped with the tree, puffing out your chest and trying to hang some ornaments, only for them to be pinched off the tree and you gently moved out of the way, once more dismissed as you deflated with a sigh, wandering off to find someone else who might have time for you.
though as you tried with each family member making your way through one by one everyone was always just too busy. cooking or cleaning or unpacking or decorating, and despite the fact there seemed to be an infinite list of things to get done, nobody wanted your help.
you had a house full of people and yet youâd never felt so alone, an hour passing by as you sat yourself by the front door, watching the driveway and waiting eagerly for your sisters car to return, knowing she would always make time for you.
she was upset before, you could see that, but you hadnât been able to give her one of your special hugs and try to make her feel better, instead pushed off and told to go away as alexia had angrily stormed out.
but your mami always said that was her hormones talking and she was never really all that upset. no matter what alexia always came back, if going off to camp or an away game or just to the store, she promised she would always be back.
so you knew soon she would return, maybe even with jenni this time, and when she did she would say sorry and give you a bear hug and someone would want you around.
so you waited and waited and waited, even as the sun started to slowly go down, but despite the fact the afternoon was dying and dinner time was almost here, alexia didnât come back.
that was how eli found you a while later, not having seen you getting under anyones feet like she feared sheâd gone in search of her youngest. seeing you sat by the door watching hawk eyed through the bottom window panel, forehead pressed to the glass which would fog up every now and then as youâd puff air from your nose.
âfresa? mi nena what are you doing?â the woman let out a laugh, startling you a little as youâd not heard her approach. âwaiting for alexia. did you tell her dinner is nearly done mami?â you asked innocently, getting to your feet as the woman squatted down with a barely noticeable wince.
âyour hermana will not be back for dinner fresa, she is staying with jenni.â your mami explained softly, tucking a rogue strand of hair behind your ear which had fallen from the messy bun it was scraped back into. âtomorrow?â you asked hopefully as eli smiled, but didnât answer your question.
âshe will be back tomorrow. she told me she would take me to get some carrots!â you nodded answering your own question as your mami frowned curiously.Â
âcarrots?â âsĂ! for the reindeer, papi always left them carrots and we always left santa special cookies.â you nodded happily, elis face softening and a forlorn look glazing over in her eyes.Â
âoh he did didnât he, thank you for reminding me nena.â you beamed at that, pride written clear all over your face making your mami smile. âcan you go wash up for dinner please hija? if you are fast, you get first pick of the chairs!â
~
dinner itself wasnât so bad, bar everyone trying to cut up and feed you your own food and ignoring your protests you were old enough to feed yourself, you felt included. you were asked about school, your friends, the dance class youâd been trialing when the five a side football team your sister had signed you up for hadnât worked out.
though as always when your family gathered together, even without her actually there, the hottest topic at the table was alexia and her blooming football career. now if you were a little older you might have sensed there was someone at the table who wasnât so keen on this topic, routinely trying to change it or engage someone in a different conversation.
alba.
alexia may not have been so willing for this big surprise family christmas but alba had been quite looking forward to it, your cousin paula her own age and despite being related they were not unalike best friends. but when even paula spent most of dinner fussing over you or kissing up to alexia and her first national team call up, sheâd had enough.
just for once sheâd like someone to ask how school was going for her, what had she been up to, how was she doing. but she wasnât as adorable and cute as you, or as talented and passionate as alexia, so of course as usual she just seemed to fade off into the background.
which is why again if youâd been older, a little more able to see the signs, your sisters actions after dinner might have made more sense.
youâd been shooed out of the kitchen once everyone finished up eating, unintentionally getting under everyoneâs feet during the clean up process as you were trying to show off the new matchbox cars alexia had managed to source and gift you as an early christmas present.
youâd then made your way to the living room where the other half of the family, mainly the male half, were about to watch a football match. understanding most of the rules living in such a football mad family you were used to watching them on tv, usually with your sisters though alba would always fall asleep during the first half, you climbed up onto the couch ready to do just that.
however within seconds of wedging yourself comfortably in between one of your cousins and your tĂo danny, the yelling began and you covered your ears with a wince. you were used to loud football games but not in the living room, so with your ears ringing you hopped down and wandered off to find someone else to hang out with.
which is how you arrived to albaâs room, the door closed but you could hear laughter and voices inside, so with a slight stretch due to the growth spurt you were owed which hadnât arrived yet you managed to tug down the handle and open the door.
the voices ceased the moment you did though, your sisters eyes narrowing at the sight of you hovering in the doorway, rocking back and forth with your pockets stuffed full of matchbox cars, all your clothes a little too big for you since your winter gear was usually always hand me downs.
âwhat?â she asked sharply as you frowned at the frosty greeting. âcan i stay in here with you hermana? its loud out there.â you asked hopefully, the yelling and jeering only growing as the game progressed, fighting with the laughing and chattering coming from the kitchen where the clean up had become more of a catch up and a gossip.
âno. out!â alba pointed behind you as your frown grew. âoh come on al, donât be mean. sheâs so cute!â paula cooed, patting the bed encouragingly for you to join them, alba sending her a look and shoving her.
âtĂș crees? try living with her. out fresa, ahora!â alba pointed again as you stopped midway in the room, shoulders sagging. âplease alba please!â you asked again, clasping your hands together and looking up at her pleadingly.
âno demonio. go!â alba shook her head again, finger still pointing toward the exit, ignoring her cousin nudging her with a concerned look. âhey mami said you had to stop calling me names!â you reminded, pointing right back up at her as her eyes rolled.Â
âÂżah, sĂ? well go tell her then! snitch.â your sister mocked as you huffed. âyou shouldnât be mean alba. santa is watching!â you warned sternly moving to jut your hip out and doing your best to look down your nose at her, the older girl only snickering.
âoh santa is, is he? heâs not even-â though she was cut off with a sharp pinch to her arm, your cousin glaring daggers and muttering something you couldnât hear as your sister huffed but gave a small nod, not finishing whatever it was she was about to say.
âcan i just sit on my bed? i will be quiet, promise!â you begged again, only met with a shake of her head. âvamos alba, she is not hurting anyone. do you want to watch a movie with us pequeña?â your cousin offered with a kind smile as you nodded happily.
âno, out.â alba shut that down quickly with a firm shake of her head. âi could read a book and be very very quiet. please alba?â you pleaded, trying to puppy dog eyes which admittedly often worked better on your eldest sister but were worth a try.
âyou do not even know how to read fresa.â your sister taunted with a grin as your eyebrows scrunched together. âcan too! you know i can, cause you always-â you began to protest, alba often the one who helped you with your homework given she was much better at being patient than eli or alexia.
âout diablillo, now!â you were cut off, alba standing from the bed and glaring at you in a final warning as you deflated, kicking at a loose scuff of carpet on the floor.Â
âplease? everybody else is too busy for me.â you mumbled quietly, though before you could even look up there was hands under your arms and you were lifted off the ground, legs swinging as alba marched you toward the door, dropping you down just outside.
âit is not my fault nobody wants you around fresa, now stay out! or you can sleep in the backyard and freeze to death.â and with that once again the door was slammed in your face, a swift click sounding indicating it was locked as you deflated again, albaâs words echoing loudly in your head.
your sister of course hadnât meant what she said, it had spewed from her mouth fueled by the burn of by being isolated at dinner. sheâd just wanted to spend some one on one time with paula who actually cared what she was up to and how things were for her, but of course you had to come along, the baby, and take away that attention she craved.
âmami?â you tugged on her pants, the older woman running a hand over your hair and gently pushing you away. âmami!â you tried again, poking her leg as she paused what she was saying and glanced down at you with raised eyebrows.
âi need a bath.â you reminded, not sure what the time actually was but knowing your normal routine was usually a bath after dinner, and with alexia not around to do it the only other choice was eli.Â
âoye you are nearly six now fresa, no? a big girl! you can do that.â one of your tĂas smiled encouragingly, patting you on the head and nodding off toward where the bathroom was.Â
âi canât run the water. iâm not allowed!â you responded matter of factly, the last time youâd tried you poured in an entire bottle of bubble bath and flooded the bathroom. âgo ask your hermana please nena, and i will come and say goodnight later. promesa!â your mami encouraged, patting your butt and with a tap on your back you were wandering out of the kitchen, covering your ears again at the yelling and screaming going on in the living room.
it was overwhelming and loud, and then all of a sudden you began to feel funny.Â
your face felt hot, your neck felt itchy, your head felt like it was filled with cotton and your ears were ringing like when alexia sometimes put her headphones on you and played the music too loud. your stomach felt weird, you could feel a strange heat in your chest like when you drank hot chocolate too fast, and you didnât like any of it, not one bit.
it didnât feel like christmas, not your christmas, the christmas you were used to. your papi wasnât here to put on silly voices as he sang christmas songs, alexia wasnât here to put you on her shoulders so you could put the star on the tree, your mami wasnât around to make cookies, alba didnât even want to be in the same room as you.
your sisters words might not have been meant but you were feeling them right now, she had been right, nobody did want you around, so youâd go and find someone who would.
now with a house crammed full of noisy spaniards it was easy enough to go undetected, to slip on your shoes and tuck the laces in because you forgot how to tie them and no one was there to remind you.
nobody paid any attention when you climbed up precariously on the hallway table to pull down your puffiest winter coat which hung by the door, or to pull on the beanie that alexia made sure was always kept in your coat pocket because you always seemed to lose it.
nobody noticed when you stretched up and opened the front door which had been left unlocked, stepping out into the evening where the sun was almost gone beneath the trees, the street lights not quite turned on yet.
no one heard the front door close or watched you jump down the front steps in twoâs like you were always told off for, picking at the grass in the front yard before you heard a strange noise and your head snapped up.
your once downtrodden look perked up seeing it was your neighbours cat, who spent most of his time outside hunting birds but had been known to pop up at your window, snuck inside for some food until someone realised and shooed him off home.
so clicking your tongue at him in greeting like you had before you were surprised when it seemed to startle him, causing him to dash away as you huffed and gave chase.
âyou get back here!â you called as if he would understand, too focused on the four legged feline to notice when heâd finally stopped it was in the middle of the road.
preoccupied with someone giving you attention you squatted down and stroked a finger up and down his back softly, smiling happily when he purred and rubbed against your leg.
it had all happened so fast, if you blinked you might have missed it.
a car came hurtling around the corner, easily going ten or fifteen over the speed limit which wasnât uncommon in the fairly quiet street you lived on this time of year, everyone seemingly in a rush.
you only looked up when you heard a loud honk, the cat sprinting away and you knew you should too but your body locked up with fear, headlights blinding you and not sure which way to run if your legs would have allowed it.
luckily the vehicle came to a screaming halt, brakes whistling at the effort and doors flinging open as two strangers came hurrying out. you could see their mouths moving, but your ears were still ringing from the noise of the brakes and the horn, eyes now welling up with tears.
the lady smacked the man beside her on the arm, shushing the way he was yelling at you and warning heâd been going too fast anyway and everyone was lucky heâd just had enough time to stop.
trembling with a mix of adrenaline and fear you went limp as the woman picked you up, bouncing you in what was supposed to be a calming manner and again sharply warning the man that yelling at you wasnât going to solve anything.
you sniffled and pointed across the road to your house when she asked where youâd come from, the man following after her still yelling despite her warnings as the pair of them made their way up the front steps, the woman pushing the doorbell and gently placing you back down on your feet.
it was one of your cousins who answered, smile dropping immediately from his face as he noticed yours stained with tears, shouting out several times for eli as the mans yelling brought a whole other handful of family members racing to the front door.
then suddenly as the man continued his very angry shouting, this time about what had happened and how could you be so careless to play in the road, the woman questioning your apparent lack of supervision given your young age, chaos erupted.Â
you slapped your hands over your ears as two of your tĂos stepped forward, toe to toe with the driver and yelling right back at him, everyone beginning to argue about how this happened, no one even noticed when you scurried off to find somewhere quiet, sick of your ears ringing and your eyes hurting and the weird feeling like youâd been punched in the stomach.
then right as things were beginning to calm, the woman sending the man back to the car and your tĂos ordered back to the living room in an attempt to diffuse the situation, a car pulled up in the driveway and eli swore under her breath as she knew right away whose it was.
within seconds flat, her car still left running alexia appeared by the front door, putting herself inbetween the woman and her mami with a hardened stare. â-all i am saying is the niña was very very lucky not to be hit. she needs to be careful this time of the year, and play in her yard not the road!â the woman warned sharply before turning on heel and walking away down the front steps, alexiaâs head whipping around to look wide eyed in shock.
âquĂ© diablos ha pasado?â your eldest sister asked, eyes darting between the multiple women gathered in the doorway. âdĂmelo!â alexia demanded, stepping inside as the front door closed, a very uncomfortable and awkward silence echoing through the once boisterous and noisy home.
âfresa was almost hit by a car.â eli answered quietly, barely able to get the words out still stunned near speechless, the possibilities of if the car hadnât stopped swirling around in her head.Â
âwhat? mami where is she? where is she?â alexia shouted, terror written all over her face as guilt set itself into eliâs realising youâd clearly run off without again anyone noticing.Â
âi-i do not know. fresa? fresa!â eli called out, calls of your name ringing out as everyone began searching frantically, your cousins falling over one another to check outside as the door thumped shut.
âhow could you let this happen? how!â your eldest sister shouted angrily, albaâs door opening as she stepped out, confusion written on her and paulaâs faces seeing everyone rushing around yelling for you.
âwhy werenât you watching her alba! why!â clearing the gap between them in seconds alexia had her younger sisters jumper balled up in her fists, screaming in her face as bodies rushed in to pull them apart.
with a scoff alexia took off, checking in each room and shouting out your name, only pausing for a moment when she noticed a very familiar beanie balled up in the corner of her room.
âfresa? fresita? are you in here?â alexia called out hopefully, hearing a rustle and with two knocks she was sprinting to her closet, sliding open the door right as a tiny body barreled into her legs, knocking her to the ground as you clung onto her for dear life.
âaye dios mĂo.â alexia breathed out in relief, sitting up and pulling you into her, your face buried in her shoulder as your little body shook with sobs which were muffled by the thick material of her jacket.
âits okay pequeña its okay. youâre okay now, youâre okay.â alexia chanted over and over, mainly to relieve herself of her own worries as she squeezed you tightly, kissing your head repeatedly as you shook and cried in her hold, hands tightly fisting the soft material of her sweater.
âfresa! you-â the moment alba burst in alexiaâs head shot up, hand on the back of your neck protectively as she hissed venomously for the younger girl to get out, though it was with words youâd normally remind meant she needed to put money into the curse jar sat on the kitchen bench.
as alba backed away, tears welled up in her eyes and guilt weighing heavily on her shoulders, eli was fast to usher the rest of the family toward the front door, knowing all of this fuss and rush was only going to make things worse as no one even tried to argue, planning to stay elsewhere for the evening.
alexia wasnât sure how long she sat there holding you tightly, mumbling the same words over and over in an attempt to soothe the pair of you, but no one dared to open her door again after the way sheâd snapped.
âyou left me! you promised and you left!â you pulled your head back and accused with a broken sob, alexia wincing and holding you tighter as you fought for her to let you go. âlet go alexia! let go!â you demanded among your cries, her head shaking and your body pulled even tighter into hers until eventually you gave up, crumpling and clinging onto her again as you sobbed and sobbed.
finally, with your eyes puffy and head pounding your sobs turned to sniffles, alexia not even paying any mind to the way you wiped your nose against her shoulder. her thumb softly wiped away a few stray tears as you sat limp in her lap, sagged against her and hands clinging on tightly to the stretched and faded material of her sweater.
âwhy were you in the road fresa? why! you know better than that.â alexia asked desperately, shaking you a little and tugging you around so you were facing her, unhooking your fingers which quickly grabbed onto the edges of her coat as if she could disappear at a moments notice.
âi was just following henry! he wanted me around, nobody else did.â you mumbled, bottom lip still trembling as your sister frowned. âwhat do you mean nobody else did fres?â her tone softened, eyebrows creased with concern.Â
âmami was busy. everyone was yelling and watching football. alba didnât want me, she said nobody wanted me around. nobody would play with me or let me help, not even with the tree! and you told me to go away and go bother someone else!â you choked out, tears welling up in your eyes again.
âoh hermana. no no i didnât- i didnât mean to but-â but you didnât let her finish, pushing up off of her and running off before she could grab at you. âeveryone says i get in the way! i donât fit.â you sobbed out at her after youâd pulled open her door, racing out and crashing into something hard.
but you softened once you realised who it was, arms up and scooped immediately into your mamiâs embrace, body wracked with sobs again as her hand rubbed up and down your back âshhh you fit mija, you fit right here.â your mami murmured firmly, eyes squeezed closed before she moved to take a seat on the couch as you curled up into her.
it was around an hour later when finally youâd settled again, everyone fussing over you and apologising and arguing about who got to do what. but now bathed and wrapped in fluffy christmas pyjamas all you wanted was everyone to be together, the only thing youâd wanted this whole day.
so when asked what it was you needed right now, you answered just that, eli sending off her two eldest to make hot chocolate, refusing to let you out of her sight even for a second as the pair of you looked through which movie to watch despite the fact it was long past when youâd normally go to bed.
meanwhile there was a frosty silence in the kitchen, alexia refusing to even look at alba who was so wracked with guilt sheâd barely looked up from the floor. âwhy?â she looked up at that, finding alexiaâs eyes now baring into her.
âwhy?â âsĂ. why alba? why would you tell her no one wanted her around? she is a baby!â alexia hissed quietly as the younger girls gaze dropped again. âi didnât mean it.â she mumbled somewhat pathetically as she measured out the coco powder and alexia scoffed.
âoh sĂ because a five year old is going to know that, tonta!â alexia shoved her, taking over the hot chocolates as a new emotion filled the younger girl. âwell she gets more attention than me! so do you even when you are not here you are the centre of attention!â alba bit, fists balled by her side as alexia looked at her incredulously.Â
âwhat?â âit is always oh fresita is so cute, fresa got a new tooth, fresa got a gold star, how adorable is the baby!â alba cooed sarcastically, words bubbling up and out that had festered there for too long.
âand you! everyone talks about you and asks about you and goes on and on about alexia putellas the next big football superestrella, saviour of barcelona and hero of españa!â alba waved her hands about with each word as her older sister watched on with a frown.
âbut no one ever asks me how i am, or how my school is, or about my achievements, how anything is! mami skips my parent teacher interviews to go to fresaâs, is at your games every weekend, i got a high distinction on a test and all mami did was move it underneath one of fresaâs drawing, she didnât even see it. i feel invisible alexia! and-â but her words were cut short, the taller girl pulling her into a tight hug.
âyou are not invisible hermana. i see you, and i love you, we all do. this family would not be right without you, i am so sorry we have not shown that.â alexia promised, alba giving in and hugging her back, more apologies exchanged between the two, falling silent in their tight embrace.Â
until the patter of feet and your voice broke them apart. âdo you need help?â you asked with a small frown of concern, the two having been making the hot chocolates for a strangely long time as you were growing a little impatient.
âsĂ! we need our special marshmallow helper.â alba confirmed, nodding at alexia who slid her the packet with a smile. ânobody puts them in like you fresa. perfect hot chocolate needs perfect marshmallows.â alexia affirmed with a nod, lifting you up onto the counter, softening at the way your face lit up.
very carefully you placed three marshmallows into each cup, no pink for alexia, all pink for you, and a mix for alba and your mami, just the way everyone liked it.
with a hot chocolate in hand and squished on the couch between everyone, it was far from the perfectly normal christmas you were promised, but things finally started to feel okay.

I'm only coming from the perspective of Ireland and Spain (Just Cataluña really) but "golliwogs" (the racist dolls mentioned above) havent been a thing since the 80s (still recent enough to merit discussion but not something ive ever seen in my living lifetime) and while the dutch are definitely very weirdly defensive about their "Minstrel Shows" (the festive blackface) I cant say I'm familiar with any other european yuletide traditions that are still practiced today that are particularly racist/offensive (I am open and encouraging folks to challenge me on this with citation btw). Anway, let me share with you some actually good european winter solsticetime traditions. In Ireland we sit around and drink from dawn til dusk around a warm fire with friends and family because its too fucking cold out and most everyone has work off, and we watch prince of egypt / ben hur / high school musical. Theres not really a name for it, thats just what christmas day/stevens day is about. As for a more localised tradition, remember that bit where I said its too fucking cold out? Yea well aparently all the leaded fuel really did a number on us Dubliners because come christmas day, without fail you'll see folks congregate at docksides, launches and beaches all around Dublin for a 'Christmas Swim'. Now, diving into briny water in late december at the same lattitude as Hudson Bay (thats in Canada), should probably be a death sentence, but Irish waters are fed into by a series of warm atlantic currents, so while still being pretty cold, its actually not terrible to swim in. And yea, people just go do it, on christmas day, because there wasnt shit else to do on christmas day back in the day. I dont know if this tradition extends to other coastal areas of the country but it probably does, maybe not up north cus its fuckass cold up there.
Now in Cataluña, *smacks lips* oh theyve got the best shit ever.
First of all, the nativity scene, the iconic centrepiece of christmas, such a pristine diorama, youve got the iconic trio joseph, mary and joseph, the donkey that worked so hard to get them here, some gentle well kempt shepherds, angels, cherubs, a divine star, theres even three kings that happened to be passing through town...but arent you forgetting someone? Arent you forgetting the most important figure in the nativity? Arent you forgetting...
EL CAGANER
Or to roughly translate: the shiterrrrrrrrrrrr
This guys a little figurine included in the nativity scene, typically placed outside the stable (the guy has a sense of decency he just had to go is all) its a predominantly Catalan tradition, but its common down the mediteranean coast and even Portugal and Naples.
Traditionally its just a little peasant guy wearing a red catalan beretina but theres shops around Barcelona where you can get celebrity Caganers.
this shit is better than funkopops in literally every conceivable way
But you know whats also a classic scatalogical festive season tradition in Cataluña?
TiĂł de Nadal
Look at this jolly little guy! Originally he didnt have the face or the legs and wasnt so small, once upon a time he was just a big log that you dragged into the house and assigned some personhood to for the hollywood season. Starting from the feast of the immaculate conception, every night before bedtime you give the tio a little bite to eat, and is covered in a red blanket to stay warm, then on chirstmas day or christmas eve, the kids beat the tio with sticks while singing songs, usually with lyrics ordering tio to defecate. After all the song and dance is done, you lift the blanket up and low and behold, tio has shit you out a beautiful pile of presents! Typically comprised of nuts, torons, candies, dried fruits and small toys, what a swell guy! Anyway, to get back to the topic of the post, im not trying to detract from the broad points, but for real it was kinda making it sound like every European country is the Netherlands and we're all out here cheering on blackface on christmas day. Again, if anyone knows of any other sickeningly offensive european holiday season festivities let me know, Im open to education and not just making shit up about other peoples of the world.
my only advice is to BE CAREFUL posting about holiday traditions around europeans. you'll post something casual like "anyone else watch the old Grinch movie every year? what a classic" and a european will appear as if summoned and say some shit like "funny how USAmericans always CONVENIENTLY forget that Not Everyone On Earth is from The USAâŠâŠ.. no of COURSE we dont watch 'the grunch' or whatever the fuck that isâŠ. our tradition is to attend a community showing of Glummdorf the Racial Stereotype"

BEST MAN :: Rafe Cameron
WARNING! :: kissing, oral, unprotected sex, teasing, forbidden love, Dom!Rafe, romance, Rafe Cameron x Reader, soft!rafe, cheating, Topper Thorton x Reader (mentioned), public sex, aftercare, slow dancing.
SUMMARY! :: The reader is marrying Topper Thorton, but Rafe doesnât care in the slightest. As far as heâs concerned, you were his long before the vows, the dress, and the ring. On your wedding day, heâs determined to make you see itâeven if it means crossing every line. Including hurting his best friend, Topper.
A/N:: I know I always say this, but this one is my favorite. Itâs the perfect combination of filth and fluff. Please read it.
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
The air in the bridal suite felt heavy, like even the sunlight streaming through the windows couldnât cut through the weight pressing down on you. The music outside swelled faintly, the distant laughter of guests drifting in through the open window. It shouldâve felt like a fairytale, standing there in your white gown, the lace veil framing your face perfectly, but it didnât.
You smoothed your hands down the front of your dress, trying to steady your breathing. This was the right thing. Topper was a good manâŠto someâloyal, patient, safe. Heâd been everything youâd needed him to be. But as much as you wanted to believe in the words âhappily ever after,â something gnawed at you deep inside, something you didnât want to name.
A loud knock shattered your thoughts, making you jump.
âHey, open up.â
You froze, your heart dropping. That voiceâlow, rough, and unmistakable. Rafe.
âRafe, go home,â you called out, forcing your voice to stay steady. âYou donât need to be here.â
The door creaked open anyway, and when you turned, he was already inside, closing the door behind him.
âDo you even know how to listen?â you snapped, but it came out more exasperated than anything else.
Rafe just leaned against the door, his arms crossed, looking at you with that familiar mix of cocky and dangerous. His dress shirt was half-buttoned, his sleeves rolled up, his jaw clenched like he was barely holding himself together. His eyes swept over you, slow and deliberate, and the way they lingered made your soft brown skin prickle.
âYouâre really doing this?â he asked, his voice low and sharp.
You turned back to the mirror, refusing to meet his gaze. âYes, Rafe. Iâm really doing this. So if youâre here to cause a scene, please get the fuck out.â
He laughed, but it was humorless. âYeah, no. Not happening.â
You sighed, closing your eyes for a moment. âWhy are you in here? Why today, Rafe? Why now?â
âBecause someoneâs gotta stop you from fucking up your life,â he said, his voice harsh and unapologetic.
You spun around to face him, your anger bubbling to the surface. âWhat the hell is wrong with you? This is not your decision to make! You donât get to just barge in here and act likeââ
âLike what?â he interrupted, his voice rising. âLike I give a fuck about you? Like Iâve been sitting around watching you play house with Top, knowing damn well heâll never give you what you really need?â
You flinched, his words hitting too close to home. âDonât do this shit, Rafe. Donât make this about you.â
âItâs not just about me, and you know it,â he said, stepping closer. His eyes bore into yours, unrelenting. âThis? You and him? Itâs bullshit, and we both know it. Youâre just too scared to admit it.â
âScared of what?â you shot back, your voice shaking.
âOf me,â he said, his voice dropping. âOf us. Of what you really want.â
You shook your head, backing away until you hit the edge of the vanity. âStop doing that. Stop acting like you know me. You donât know what I want, Rafe.â
He closed the distance between you in two strides, his hands bracing on either side of you, trapping you in. âThe fuck I donât,â he said, his voice low and dangerous. âYou think I donât see it? The way you look at me when you think no oneâs watching? The way you canât even say his name without hesitating? You donât love him. Not the way youâre supposed to.â
Your chest tightened, and you swallowed hard, your throat thick with emotion. âYou donât understand,â you whispered. âTopperâheâs good to me. Heâs⊠safe. I canât hurt him like this. Iâm not that girl.â
Rafeâs laugh was sharp and bitter. âSafe?â he spat. âThatâs what you want? Someone whoâs âsafeâ? I think youâre full of shit, and you know it.â
âWhy are you doing this?â you asked, your voice cracking. âWhy on my wedding day, Rafe? Youâre supposed to be his best friend!â
His jaw clenched, and he leaned in closer, his breath warm against your face. âBecause I donât give a fuck about being his best friend. I donât give a fuck about anyone when it comes to you. Youâre mine.â
Your breath caught, and tears welled in your brown eyes. âYou canât just⊠You canât keep saying shit like that and expect me toââ
âTo what?â he cut you off, his voice rising again. âTo ignore it? To go play house with Topper and pretend like thisâusâdoesnât exist?â
You shook your head, the tears spilling over. âYouâre gonna ruin everything,â you whispered.
âGood,â he said, his voice harsh. âIâll ruin it all if it means you donât marry him.â
âRafeââ
He didnât let you finish. His lips crashed into yours, cutting off whatever protest you were about to make. The kiss was rough, desperate, and overwhelming. His hands gripped your waist, pulling you against him like he was afraid youâd slip away.
For a moment, you froze, your mind screaming at you to stop, to push him away, to think of Topper. But then his lips moved against yours, and something in you broke. Slowly, almost hesitantly, you kissed him back, your hands gripping the front of his shirt as you melted into him.
It was like the rest of the world fell awayâno wedding, no guests, no consequences. Just you and Rafe, tangled in something you couldnât deny any longer.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against yours, both of you breathing hard. His hands stayed on your waist, holding you in place, and his blue eyes burned into your soft brown ones, searching, waiting.
You stared back at him, your mind racing, your heart pounding.
Neither of you spoke. Neither of you moved.
The muffled sound of the wedding music drifted in through the window, a stark reminder of the life waiting for you outside that door. But in that moment, with Rafeâs hands on you and his lips still tingling on yours, you werenât sure if you could walk away.
You werenât sure if you wanted to.
ââ
Topper tugged at the collar of his perfectly tailored suit, sweat pooling at the base of his neck despite the ocean breeze rolling in over the estate. The music playing softly in the background only added to his growing unease.
"Where the hell are they?" he muttered under his breath, running a hand through his neatly combed hair.
"Relax," Kelce said beside him, nudging him in the ribs. "She's probably just, you know, fixing her hair or some shit. Girls take forever to get ready. It's her wedding day, man. She's gotta look perfect."
"She's already perfect," Topper said with a nervous smile, though his voice betrayed the doubt creeping in. "But where's Rafe? He was supposed to be here by now."
Kelce shrugged. "Probably running late like always. Dude's not exactly known for his punctuality."
Topper nodded, forcing himself to believe it.
He told himself there was no reason to worry.
You'd been so calm this morning, so sure about everything. Rafe was probably off doing... well, whatever Rafe did.
In the front row, Sarah fidgeted with the hem of her light blue dress. She leaned over to Kiara, who sat beside her with her arms crossed tightly over her chest.
"You don't think something happened, do you?" Sarah whispered.
Kiara shot her a look. "I think this whole thing's a disaster waiting to happen," she muttered. "But what do I know?"
Sarah sighed, ignoring Kiara's usual bluntness. She glanced back toward the house, a flicker of worry crossing her face.
If only they knew.
ââ
Inside the bridal suite, you weren't fixing your veil.
You were on the edge of the vanity, your dress pushed up to your hips, your thighs trembling as Rafe Cameron brought you to the brink of insanity.
"Fuck," Rafe groaned, pulling back just enough to look at you. His lips were slick, his chin wet from his work. His buzzed head pressed between your thighs, and the rough contrast of his stubble against your soft brown skin only added to the fire coursing through your veins. "You taste so fucking good."
Your head fell back against the mirror, your breath ragged as you tried-and failed -to suppress the sounds spilling from your lips.
"Rafe," you gasped, your voice barely above a whisper.
He smirked, that signature, cocky grin that made you weak even when you wanted to hate him. "What, baby? You want me to stop?"
"Hell no. Keep going," you shot back, surprising even yourself with the urgency in your voice.
His laugh was low and dangerous, vibrating against your skin. "That's what I thought," he murmured before diving back in, his tongue flicking against you in a way that had you arching off the vanity.
"Oh my God," you whimpered, your hands gripping the edge so tightly your knuckles turned white.
Rafe glanced up at you, his blue eyes dark and hungry. "What do you want, huh?" he taunted, his voice thick with desire. "Tell me, baby. I'll give it to you."
You bit down on your lip, every ounce of shame and guilt battling against the heat flooding your body. You shouldn't want this. Shouldn't want him. But when his tongue circled you again, the words spilled out before you could stop them.
"Spit on it."
Rafe froze for half a second, his smirk deepening as a dangerous gleam flickered in his eyes. "Say it again," he demanded, his voice rough and commanding.
You looked down at him, your chest heaving. âSpit on my pussy,â you repeated more vulgarly, your voice trembling.
He let out a low, satisfied chuckle, gripping your thighs tighter as he leaned back. "Atta girl," he muttered before spitting on your clit, his tongue immediately following, his movements slow and deliberate as he worked you over like it was his favorite thing to do.
"Fuck, Rafe," you whimpered, your hands flying to his head. The sensation of his buzzed hair against your palms only heightened the intensity, and when his lips wrapped around your clit, sucking in just the right way, your vision blurred.
"Yeah, that's it," he muttered against you, his voice vibrating through your core. "I told you, baby. No one knows this pussy like I do. Not Topper. Not anyone. Just me."
The mention of Topper's name jolted something in you, but it was fleeting, gone the second Rafe slid two fingers inside you, curling them just right. "Oh my god," you choked out, your thighs clenching around his head.
You couldn't reply. Couldn't speak. All you could do was grip his shirt, your nails digging into his shoulders as his thumb pressed harder, sending you hurtling toward the edge.
"Say it," he demanded, his tone commanding as he slowed his pace just enough to drive you insane. "Say itâs mine."
You shook your head weakly, your lips trembling.
"Say it," he repeated, his voice a growl as his fingers pumped into you harder, his free hand gripping your jaw and forcing you to meet his gaze. "Fucking say it."
Your body betrayed you before your mouth did, your climax ripping through you with a force that left you trembling, broken, and utterly at his mercy around his dick.
Rafe didn't let up, his movements slowing only slightly as he worked you through the high. His eyes never left yours, his smirk widening as he watched you fall apart beneath him.
âItâs yours, Rafe.â You finally say it and he groans with a deep chuckle, the sound muffled as he pressed his tongue against you again, his pace quickening until your body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Fuck y/n," he gritted, his voice low and filthy. "Your pussy tastes so fucking good. Iâd kill for it."
Your hand flew to your mouth, muffling the scream that tore from your throat as the pleasure ripped through you, wave after wave until you were nothing but a trembling, incoherent mess.
Rafe pulled back slowly, his lips glistening, his eyes filled with nothing but satisfaction.
"Good girl," he murmured, his voice thick with pride as he rose to his feet.
You couldn't move, couldn't speak, your chest rising and falling as you tried to catch your breath.
He leaned in, his hands braced on either side of you, his lips brushing against your ear.
"You're not walking down that fucking aisle," he murmured, his voice low and deadly. "Not after this. Hell no."
Before you could catch your breath, before you could even think to argue, Rafe's fingers slid inside you again, slow and deliberate, curling just enough to make you gasp. "You hear me?" he continued, his voice thick and dripping with venom. "You think I'm just gonna stand there, watching you let him have what's mine, huh?"
Your lips parted, but nothing came out, your body too overwhelmed to form words.
Rafe smirked at your silence, his other hand gripping your thigh possessively. "That's what I thought. You can't even defend him, can you? Because deep down, you know he's not man enough for you. Not like I am."
"Rafe," you whispered, but it came out shaky, weak, barely audible over the pounding of your heart.
"Shut up," he growled, his tone sharp as his fingers pumped into you faster, hitting a spot that had your eyes rolling back. "You don't get to talk. You don't get to tell me I'm wrongânot when you're dripping all over my fingers like this. Not when you're fucking clenching around me like your pussy knows who it belongs to."
A broken moan escaped your lips, your hands gripping the vanity as your thighs tried to close around him. Rafe just pushed them wider, his strength overpowering you easily.
"You think I'd let you marry him?" he hissed, his mouth so close to your ear that his breath sent chills down your spine. "You think I'd just stand there, watching you let that fucking pussy put a ring on your finger? I'd drag you out of there so fast it'd make his head spin. Hell, maybe l'd do it in front of everyone-make sure they all know who you really belong to."
Your chest heaved, your mind spinning, but you couldn't stop the way your body responded to him. Every word, every movement of his hand, every filthy promise he madeâit was wrong, it was insane, but it made your legs tremble and your resolve crumble.
"I could eat your pussy every fucking day," he muttered, his lips brushing against your neck as he fucked you with his fingers, his thumb pressing circles against you that had your hips bucking against his hand. "I bet he's never even made you cum, has he? All that talk, all that money, and he's useless when it counts."
You whimpered, shaking your head slightly, but it wasn't a defense of Topper-it was denial of the truth he was dragging out of you.
Rafe chuckled darkly, his teeth grazing the shell of your ear. "That's what I thought," he said. "He's too soft. Too fucking weak. He doesn't know what to do with you, doesn't know how to make you scream, how to make you fucking crave him."
His hand tightened on your thigh, pulling you closer, his fingers curling inside you in a way that had you gasping for air. "But me?" he continued, his voice low and rough. "I could make you cum every goddamn day for the rest of your life, and it still wouldn't be enough. I'd ruin you for anyone else. Shit, I already have.â
Tears pricked your eyes, not from sadness or fear, but from the overwhelming, unbearable mix of emotions flooding your chest. He was insane. He was cruel. And he was right.
"You know what l'd do to him if you walked down that aisle?" Rafe asked, his tone shifting into something even darker, more dangerous. His fingers didn't stop, didn't falter, as he spoke. "I'd beat his fucking face in, right there in front of everyone. I'd make him bleed for even thinking he could have you. And then l'd take you, just like this, while everyone fucking watched."
A strangled gasp tore from your lips, your hands flying to his shoulders to steady yourself as your body threatened to collapse under the weight of his words and the intensity of his touch.
"You think that's crazy?" he asked, his voice softer now, almost mocking. "You think I care? Baby, l've been crazy for you since the day I laid eyes on you. And you love it. Don't fucking lie to me-you love this shit.â
You couldnât even deny it. He was right. You loved when he got all crazy. You couldnât help it.
ââ
The ceremony was falling apart before it had even begun.
Topper stood at the altar, his jaw tight and his hands fidgeting with his cufflinks as the whispers from the crowd grew louder. The once-perfect day was starting to unravel, and he could feel the weight of every set of eyes on him.
"She's probably just running late," Kelce offered, clapping a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "You know how these things go, man. It's all part of the drama."
But even Kelce didn't sound convinced.
Topper's smile was tight, forced, as he glanced toward the house. The bridal suite was quiet, no sign of movement. Still no sign of her. And still no sign of Rafe.
"Where is he?" Topper muttered under his breath, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface.
Sarah stepped forward, her light blue dress fluttering slightly in the breeze as she gave Topper a comforting smile. "She's okay, Topper," she said softly. "Maybe something came up-an issue with her dress or makeup. You know how important this day is to her. She wouldn't just..." She trailed off, not wanting to finish the thought.
Topper nodded quickly, clinging to her words like a lifeline. "Yeah. Yeah, you're right. She just wants everything to be perfect."
Sarah gave him a soft pat on the arm before stepping back toward Kiara, who stood farther away from the crowd, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.
"Something's up," Kiara muttered as soon as Sarah was close enough to hear.
Sarah frowned. "What do you mean?"
Kiara glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention before leaning in closer.
"Where's Rafe?" she asked quietly.
Sarah's face tightened at the mention of her brother, her brows furrowing. "I don't know. He was supposed to be here with Topper. He disappeared like twenty minutes ago."
Kiara huffed, shaking her head. "You don't think..."
"What?" Sarah asked, confused.
Kiara bit her lip, her eyes narrowing as memories flooded back to her. Back when they were all Kooks-her, Sarah, Rafe, and the reader. Back when their group had been a tangled web of drama and tension.
"Rafe always had a thing for her," Kiara said slowly, her voice barely above a whisper. "You remember that, right?"
Sarah's frown deepened. "Yeah, but... Rafe had a thing for everyone, including you. That doesn't mean anything."
Kiara gave her a pointed look. "No, Sarah. It was different with her. He actually wanted her, and it wasn't just some fling to him. I saw it. Hell, I think we all saw it."
Sarah's eyes widened slightly as realization dawned on her, but she shook her head quickly. "No. No way. He wouldn't-"
Kiara cut her off. "Wouldn't he?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
The weight of the question hung in the air between them, and Sarah's stomach twisted uncomfortably.
"Where do you think they are, Sarah?" Kiara asked, her voice low and sharp.
ââ
Out on the balcony, the world seemed to disappear. The ocean stretched endlessly in front of you, the salty breeze cool against your overheated skin. But none of it matteredânot the crashing waves, not the golden glow of the sun setting over Figure 8-because Rafe Cameron had you pinned against the railing, your white dress hiked up around your hips, and his name falling from your lips like a prayer.
His large hands gripped your brown thighs, rough and insistent, the pale contrast against your smooth, glowing skin only making the moment feel more forbidden. His movements were relentless, his hips slamming into yours, the sound of your bodies colliding drowned out by your broken moans.
Your curls that were once perfectly styled in an updo were now cascaded over your shoulders, blowing in the wind as Rafe gave you the most delicious backshots you have ever experienced in your life.
"Harder," you begged, your voice shaky but clear, every ounce of shame long forgotten. "Please, Rafe. Harder."
He groaned at your words, a dark, satisfied sound that sent shivers down your spine.
"Fuck," he muttered, his lips brushing against the shell of your ear. "You love this, don't you? Being out here where anyone could see. My dick so deep inside you, you can't even think about anything else."
You nodded frantically, your hands gripping the railing for support as your legs trembled beneath you. "Don't stop," you whispered, your voice breathless and desperate.
He chuckled darkly, his teeth grazing the back of your neck as he slammed into you harder, deeper. "Stop?" he taunted, his voice low and mocking. "Iâm just getting started."
His hands slid down your thighs, squeezing the soft flesh as he leaned back slightly to watch the way your body moved for him.
"Goddamn," he muttered, his blue eyes locked on the way your skin glistened in the golden hour light. "Look at you. So fucking perfect. Top doesn't deserve to even look at you, let alone touch you."
You whimpered, unable to argue, unable to say anything but his name.
"Yeah," he said, his voice filled with smug satisfaction. "That's right. Say my name, baby. Let the whole fucking world know who's making you feel this good."
"Rafe," you gasped, your head falling back as his pace quickened, each thrust hitting your g-spot so deep you could barely breathe.
"That's my girl," he growled, his grip tightening on your hips. "You hear them down there?" he asked, his tone mocking as he gestured with his chin toward the crowd below. "All those people waiting for you to walk down that aisle like the perfect little bride. But they don't know, do they? They don't know you're up here getting fucked so good you can't even think straight."
Your nails dug into the wood of the railing, your body trembling as you struggled to hold yourself together. But he wasn't done.
"I bet Topper thinks you're just late," he sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "Bet he's down there sweating, thinking you're still fixing your makeup or some stupid shit. Meanwhile, you're up here, dripping all over my cock, begging me for more."
Your eyes rolled back as he hit a spot so perfect, so devastatingly good, it ripped a broken cry from your throat.
"Yeah," Rafe muttered, his voice rough and raw. "That's it, baby. Let go. Don't think about him. Don't think about anything but me. Just me."
His pink lips pressed against your shoulder, his teeth scraping your soft skin as his hand moved between your thighs, his fingers working you over until your legs threatened to give out.
"Look at this pretty pussy," he growled, his tone almost reverent. "So wet for me. So fucking tight. You think Topper could ever make you feel like this? You think he even knows how?"
You shook your head frantically, your voice a broken whisper. "No. He can't. He doesn't."
Rafe grinned against your skin, his ego swelling at your admission. "That's right," he murmured, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "Only me. Always me."
The pleasure built to an unbearable high, your body clenching around him as his name tore from your lips in a broken scream.
"Fuck," Rafe groaned, his hips stuttering as he buried himself deep inside you, his grip on your hips bruising. "You're mine," he said, his voice low and deadly as he kissed the curve of your shoulder. "You've always been mine."
As your body trembled in the aftermath, your head fell forward, your chest heaving. The sound of the ocean filled your ears, but all you could feel was Rafe-his hands on your skin, his breath against your neck, his words still echoing in your mind.
He stayed inside you, his arms wrapping around your waist as he pressed a soft kiss to the back of your neck. "You're not walking down that aisle," he murmured, his voice softer now but no less certain. "Not today. Not ever."
And as much as you wanted to argue, to fight, to tell him he was wrong, you couldn't.
Because deep down, you knew he was right.
ââ
Rafe didn't stop. He didn't even slow down.
The wind whipped around you, carrying the sound of footsteps from below as wedding guests wandered outside, looking for glimpses of the bride they thought was just running late. But you weren't running lateâ you were pinned against the balcony railing, your dress still hiked up, and Rafe Cameron was fucking you like he'd been waiting his whole life for this moment.
Your body trembled as he thrust into you, each movement deliberate, precise, like he knew exactly how to make you lose yourself.
Your moans spilled out uncontrollably, and you desperately tried to muffle them with your hand.
"Uh-uh," Rafe growled, his voice thick and commanding. He grabbed both of your wrists with one hand, pulling them behind your back and pinning them there easily. "Don't you fucking hide from me."
"Rafe," you gasped, your voice breaking as he held you in place, his grip unrelenting.
"Let them hear you," he said, his teeth gritting as he pounded into your pussy harder, deeper. "Let them fucking know who you belong to."
Tears spilled down your cheeks as the pleasure overwhelmed you, your body shaking violently with each thrust. You could feel him everywhere-his hand gripping your wrists, his chest pressed against your back, his cock hitting that perfect spot that had your legs trembling and your mind unraveling.
"Fuck, baby," he groaned, his voice raw as his eyes locked on the way your body rippled with every movement. "You're so fucking sexy. You feel that? Feel how perfect you are for me?"
You couldn't respond-not with words. All you could do was push back against him, your body moving instinctively, meeting his every thrust with desperation.
"Yeah," Rafe muttered, his free hand sliding down to grab a handful of your ass. "That's it. Fuck me back, baby. Show me how much you want it."
His palm came down hard on your cheek, the sharp sound of the smack echoing in the air, and you cried out, your head falling forward as the sting radiated through your skin.
"That's my girl," he said, his voice dripping with satisfaction as he rubbed the red mark he'd left. "You take it so fucking good. Better than I ever imagined."
Your knees buckled, but Rafe didn't let you collapse. His hand slid around your waist, holding you up effortlessly as he pounded into you with a rhythm that made your vision blur.
"Fuck, you're so tight," he groaned, his teeth gritting as his pace quickened. "Topper could never have you weak like this. That little bitch wouldn't even know what to do with you."
His words sent a fresh wave of heat through you, the forbidden thrill of it all making your body tremble uncontrollably. The tears streamed down your cheeks now, not from sadness but from the overwhelming intensity of it all.
"Rafe," you whimpered, your voice breaking as your body clenched around him.
"You gonna cum for me, baby?" he taunted, his hand tightening on your hip as he angled his thrusts to hit deeper. "Come on. Show me who this pussy belongs to."
Your release hit you like a tidal wave, ripping through you with a force that left you gasping for air. Your legs shook violently, and your cries filled the air, no longer muffled, no longer restrained.
"Fuck, yes," Rafe growled, his hand leaving another stinging smack on your ass as your body convulsed around him. "That's my fucking girl."
He buried himself deep inside you with a final thrust, his body tensing as he came in your pussy, his warmth spilling into you and claiming you in the most primal way possible. His grip on you didn't loosen, even as his movements slowed, his breathing heavy against your neck.
He pulled out slowly, his hand releasing your wrists as he turned you around to face him.
His blue eyes were wild, his lips parted as he stared at you with an intensity that made your knees weak.
"You're so fucking pretty," he said, his voice low and deadly as he cupped your face in his hands.
His lips crashed against yours in a possessive, hungry kiss, his tongue sweeping into your mouth as he pulled you closer.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against yours, his breath warm against your skin.
"Run away with me," he said, his voice soft but firm, his eyes searching yours.
You stared at him, your chest heaving as the reality of what he was asking sank in. "Rafe, I can't," you whispered, your voice trembling.
"Yes, you can," he said, his grip on your face tightening slightly. "No one can fuck with you if you're with me. No one. You know that."
"I..." Your voice broke, the weight of it all crashing down on you.
He leaned in, his lips brushing against yours again, softer this time, but no less insistent.
"You're mine," he whispered. "Say yes. Say you'll come with me."
Your heart pounded in your chest, every instinct screaming at you to say no, to run, to do the right thing. But when you looked into his eyes, saw the fire, the conviction, the obsession burning there, you knew there was no going back.
"Yes," you whispered, your voice barely audible.
Rafe's lips curved into a dangerous, triumphant smirk, and he kissed you again, harder this time, his hands gripping your waist like he never wanted to let you go.
"Let's go," he said, pulling you toward the door.
The two of you slipped back inside the house, your heart racing as he led you through the empty halls. You didn't look back, didn't think about the ceremony still waiting, the guests still wondering, the man you'd left at the altar.
Because none of it mattered now.
You weren't the bride anymore.
You were running away from your own wedding with your fiancĂšâs best man.
ââ
Your hand was in his, his grip firm and unrelenting as he pulled you away from the estate, away from the ceremony, away from the life you'd just left behind. The sound of your heels clicking against the stone path was drowned out by the pounding of your heart as you glanced back at the estate, at the guests you could no longer face.
"I can't believe I just did that," you whispered, your voice trembling with disbelief.
Rafe turned to you, his blue eyes blazing with intensity as he pulled you closer. "You didn't do anything," he said firmly, his hand cupping your cheek. "You made the only choice that matters. You chose me."
Your chest tightened, doubt flickering in your mind despite the heat coursing through your veins. "Rafe, this isnât right I-"
He cut you off with a kiss, his lips crashing against yours with a hunger that left you breathless. His hands framed your face, his touch grounding you as his mouth claimed yours. The world around you blurred, the sounds of the wedding fading into nothing as his kiss silenced your doubts, your fears, your guilt.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead pressed against yours, his voice was a low whisper. "No one can touch you if you're with me. No one can fucking hurt you. You're okay now."
You stared into his eyes, the truth of his words sinking in as your chest heaved with uneven breaths. And in that moment, the world didn't matter. Nothing mattered except him.
"Let's go," he said, his voice commanding but soft.
You nodded, your fingers tightening around his as he pulled you forward, the two of you breaking into a run. The contrast between you-his pale, tanned skin against your glowing brown complexion-made the moment feel like a painting, a picture of chaos and beauty all at once.
ââ
Back near the ceremony, Sarah's hand flew to her mouth as she watched you and Rafe disappear down the path. "Oh my God," she whispered. "They're running away."
Kiara stood frozen for a moment before shaking her head and letting out a bitter laugh. "This is insane. What the hell is she thinking?"
Sarah bit her lip, her expression softening. "I mean... it's kind of romantic, don't you think?"
Kiara shot her a sharp look. "Romantic?
Sarah, that's your brother we're talking about. Your psycho brother who ruins everything he touches. And now he's got her."
Sarah's face fell slightly, her eyes flickering back toward the path you'd disappeared down. "You're right," she admitted softly. "I just... I hope he doesn't hurt her."
Kiara sighed, crossing her arms. "Let's just hope she knows what she's doing."
The two of them exchanged a glance before stepping back from the crowd. There was no point in staying anymore-not without you. Without a word, they slipped away from the ceremony, leaving Topper to figure out the truth on his own.
And as they disappeared into the shadows, so did you and Rafe, hand in hand, running toward whatever future waited for you.
ââ
Your chest rose and fell rapidly as you came to a stop, your heels skidding slightly on the stone path. Rafeâs hand remained tightly clasped around yours, his grip firm and possessive, grounding you as both of you struggled to catch your breath. The distant sounds of the Figure 8 estate were gone now, replaced by a serene stillness broken only by the faint bubbling of water.
âRafe,â you panted, glancing around, trying to make sense of where heâd brought you. âWhere are we?â
He didnât answer right away, his gaze fixed on you as he stepped closer. The golden glow of the setting sun cast a halo around your curls, and the soft veil still draped over your face gave you an ethereal quality that made his breath hitch. The pale ivory of your wedding dress clung to your glowing brown skin, the delicate lace catching the light in a way that was almost otherworldly.
Rafe, in his rumpled white linen shirt and unbuttoned collar, was the perfect foil to your pristine elegance. His sun-kissed skin and sharp blue eyes were wild, untamed, while you looked like a dreamâsoft, radiant, and untouchable. Together, you were chaos and beauty incarnate, a contrast so stark it was almost painful to look at.
You turned your gaze forward, and your breath caught againânot from the run this time, but from the scene unfolding in front of you.
A rose garden stretched out before you, its blooms a riot of pinks and whites, climbing over trellises and spilling across the stone paths. The scent of roses filled the air, sweet and intoxicating, mingling with the faint notes of a soft melody drifting through the garden. In the center stood a small fountain, its crystal-clear water sparkling as it trickled gently into the basin below.
âItâs beautiful,â you whispered, your voice barely audible as your eyes swept over the scene.
âI knew youâd like it,â Rafe said softly, his voice lower now, steady despite the lingering adrenaline in his system.
You turned to him, tears brimming in your eyes as your chest tightened. âYou planned this,â you said, your voice trembling. âYou planned all of this.â
His lips curved into a slow, knowing smirk, and he stepped closer, his hand brushing a stray curl from your face. âOf course I did,â he murmured. âYou think Iâd let you walk down that aisle? Let you choose him?â His hand slid to your cheek, his thumb grazing your skin, a stark contrast between his roughness and your softness. âIâve been waiting for this moment, baby. Waiting for you to finally see what you were always meant to have.â
Tears slipped down your cheeks, and you shook your head slightly, your emotions threatening to overwhelm you. âThis is crazy, Rafe,â you said, your voice breaking. âI left him. I left everyone. What am I doing?â
His other hand found your waist, pulling you closer until your bodies were flush, his blue eyes burning into yours. âYouâre doing exactly what you were always meant to do,â he said, his voice firm, his words cutting through your spiraling thoughts. âYouâre choosing yourself. For once in your life, youâre not doing whatâs safe or expected. Youâre doing what feels right.â
Your lips parted, a fresh wave of tears spilling as the weight of his words sank in. For so long, youâd chased the life everyone thought you should have, choosing stability over passion, security over risk. But now, standing in front of Rafe, his wildness calling to you like a sirenâs song, you felt alive in a way you never had before.
The music swelled, wrapping around you like the petals scattered at your feet, and Rafeâs hand slid down to take yours. âDance with me,â he said softly, his voice low and inviting.
You blinked up at him, startled. âDance?â
His smirk returned, softer this time, as he pulled you closer. âYeah. Dance.â
Your protest died in your throat as his arms circled your waist, his grip firm yet gentle, guiding you into a slow sway. The difference between you was strikingâhis sharp angles and commanding presence against your delicate curves and hesitant grace. His hand rested on the small of your back, steadying you as you let yourself fall into the rhythm of the moment.
As the melody wrapped around you both, Rafe leaned in, his lips brushing against your ear. âYouâre so fucking beautiful,â he murmured, his voice thick with something unspoken. âI donât deserve you, but Iâm never letting you go.â
Your breath hitched, and before you could respond, his lips found yours. The kiss was slow, deliberate, and all-consuming, his hand sliding up your back to cradle your head as he deepened it. His other hand gripped your waist, pulling you closer, as though he could fuse your bodies together if he tried hard enough.
Your hands found his chest, your fingers curling into his shirt as you gave in completely. The heat of him, the weight of his presence, the taste of himâit all melted the doubt from your mind.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against yours, his breath warm against your skin. âIâve got you,â he whispered, his voice low and steady. âNo one can touch you now. No one can take you from me. Youâre belong with me.â
Your chest tightened, your tears falling freely now as you whispered, âIâm scared.â
âI know,â he said softly, his thumb brushing your cheek. âBut you donât have to be. Not with me.â
The music played on, the roses swayed gently in the breeze, and the fountain bubbled softly as the two of you stood there, lost in each other. For the first time, you werenât running from the fire. You were standing in the heart of it, and it didnât scare you anymore.
âRafeâŠI love you.â You mumbled softly, hoping itâd get lost in the soft music, but it didnât. Heâd heard you.
âI knowâŠâ he replies with a smile, resting his head on top of your delicate curls. âIâd kill for you.â The words sent shivers down your spine, but you understood it was his way of him letting you know he loves you too.
The End.

I hope I'm not annoying you
Had another thought how would some autobots/decepticons react to their human darling just casually popping/cracking their joints
I can only imagine they're like
Darling: cracks joints
Auto/decept: concerned look
Darling: this is normal just some air bubbles stuck in my joints
Auto/decept: surprised pikachu face/ excuse me WHAT!?
Annoying me???? r u kidding AM LIVING for these ask u send op pls I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Also LMAO YES they would be so freaked out about it cuz like for them hearing noises in their joints when they move means they either got rust which i feel like its an uncomfy pain for them or that they need oil like when ur door creeks
I remember i had a friend that would twist their headtoo high up to make it pop and legit i looked at them like this the first time they did it infront of me
that's them. that's ur cybertronian s/o being traumatized by our weird human quriks
TFO B 127: He would go from fear to amazement.
Like he was just chatting ur ear off like he always does, telling stuff that happen today in his missions or something that was like centuries ago (i headcanon he sometimes repeats stuff he's already told you cuz he kinda forgets sometimes but u dont tell him that most of the times cuz he just looks so happy đđđđ)
And you listened to everything he said, some of the stuff was hard to understand cuz u know...alien stuff BUT ANYWAY- ur back was starting to scream at you cuz u been sitting for a while now, twisting yourself to stretch, your bones letting a pleasingly loud POP!
I can imagen him letting a squeal and backing away like he just saw a rat or something đ
and it got u asking whats up and he just points at u and ask what was that noise and u just basically tell him that human joints have air pockets and when moved or stretched they just pop, "its just a human thing, nothing unusual to us" you say shrugging to him as he slowly closes his distance to you "but doesn't like....hurt?? it sounds like it does...wait you're not in pain right now are you?!" he starts to ask in worry already thinking into carrying you to ratchet, quickly you shut his worries telling him again its just a human thing and it doesn't bring any sort of discomfort as it for us it rather helps us when we feel ache in our bodies
and feel like this would go on him asking more questions about how our bodies work, if u dont got any medical knowledge then you might just pull ur phone to answer him cuz i feel like he would ask the wildest shi fr đ
all and all he becomes more and more fascinated by humanity the more he learns from you, specially if its from you.

notes: time is a construct that bten!reader no longer understands. anyway, yes hellow, late gojo birthday fic that i am pretending that i'm not posting on megumi's birthday LMAO.
takes place in the same universe as beyond the unending night, however reading that fic is not necessary, all you need to know is that reader has a CT that can rewind time. slight and implied reader x gojo if you're squinting. also. reader is very unreliable narrator (there are some things in the narration that gojo responds to because reader is unaware they said it aloud oops.) not proofread.
wc: 944
âYour birthday was a couple days ago?âÂ
Gojo tilts his head toward you, expression passive for a split second before a broad grin spreads across his face. âIt was! How did you know! Wait, let me guess, youââ
âThe students,â you supply flatly before he can make any outlandish suggestions regarding how you happened across the information. âYuta-kun mentioned it.âÂ
Thereâs a slight pucker to Gojoâs lips, but itâs gone almost instantly as he remarks. âOh Yuta⊠Heâs always been an exemplary student! Even going so far as to remember his dear old teacherâs birthdayâŠâÂ
You stare at Gojo. Thereâs a trap here. Bait. Itâs not well hidden either, if his exaggerated tone is any indication. You consider telling him straight up: itâs not possible to remember something you never knew in the first place. But instead, you decide to indulge him. âDo people usually not remember?âÂ
Now that you say that, you find the words hard to believe. You can barely call yourself a part of jujutsu society, but thereâs no denying that Gojo is something of a big deal. Thereâs no way that these illustrious âhigher upsâ would forget the birthday of someone as important as Satoru Gojo.
âItâs not that they donât remember,â Gojo says, âitâs that they just donât care.âÂ
The nonchalance in his voice stuns you, more so than the fact that you cannot detect even a hint of bitterness in it. They⊠donât care? You want to be in denial, to think that that simply cannot be true. And yetâŠ
You cannot deny it.Â
Not when you know what you do of the top brass.
âWell, not the students,â Gojo adds, fondness seeping into his tone as the tiniest smile pulls at the corner of his mouth. âThrew me a party and everything. As expected of students of the Great Teacher Gojo!â
He puffs his chest out a little, clearly pleased, no doubt proud.Â
â...did you do anything else?â you ask. Knowing someone as whimsical as Gojo, you can imagine him spending the day as he pleased, going from sweet shop to sweet shop spending exorbitant amounts of money on any and every sugary item he could possibly get his hands on.Â
âNope.âÂ
You blink at him. âWhat.â
âI was waaaaaay too busy to do anything else,â Gojo says with a dramatic sigh. âHonestly, Iâm lucky that the students love me so much that they took on a couple extra missions just so we could party for a half hour.â
Gojoâs words have you gawking at him, slack jawed and in awe. Youâre well aware that heâs a busy guy, but to only have had a half hour of free time on his birthday to celebrate is justâŠ
âDonât make that face.â His voice is quiet. Gentle. âItâs fine; Iâm used to it. Just a part of being an adult, you know?â
Heâs not wrong, butâŠÂ
Somehow, it doesnât sit well with you.Â
â....youâre done with everything you have to do today, right?â you ask, reaching into your pocket to check the time; itâs nearly midnight.
âYeah?â Gojo answers, and while he sounds mostly amused, you think you can hear the smallest hint of confusion. âYou thinking of having a late night snack together to make up for missing my birthday? How romantic of you!âÂ
âNot exactly,â you shoot back without missing a beat, but Gojo doesnât seem to be disappointed by you rebuffing him. You outstretch your palm toward him and he inclines his head down slightly to show that heâs looking down at it.Â
Gojo hums. He knows what youâre thinking. Of course he does. âYou know thatâs technically against the rules.âÂ
âAnd?â you ask as you stare back at him.
âYou could get in biiiiiiig trouble, you know.â
Your gaze doesnât waver.
âCould even be sentenced to death for it!âÂ
Your hand doesnât move.
Gojo tilts his head to the side before heaving a sigh and shaking his head. He raises his hand, but rather than take yours, he reaches up higher and moves to flick your forehead. That would work just as well, and for a split second you gather your cursed energy, ready to use your technique, butâ
You merely wince and Gojo tilts his head to the side, raising an eyebrow as your energy quickly dissipates.
âChange your mind?â he asks.
âWasnât sure if you were actually going to do it,â you answer honestly. Did he actually flick you or did he just âpretendâ to? There wouldn't have been any point if he pretended.Â
âWhat do you think?â
You frown as a playful, yet menacing grin spreads across Gojo's face. He knows full well that you can't tell, especially if you can't even see the point of contact.Â
âWell wishes aside, the only other thing I can really offer you is time,â you deadpan. It wasn't like you were going to be stupid and give him a week or even a month, butâŠ
Gojo wags his finger at you, tutting. âNo, not true! There's something else!â
You give him a pointed look. What else could you possibly give?Â
âWell, it's really more like an IOU,â he explains airily, before his tone shifts, growing quieter and more serious. âJust get stronger. Strong enough to take on missions just like me and maybe next year we can have a longer party.âÂ
You sigh. His suggestion is more practical, more useful in the long run, and while you can agree with what he's proposed⊠It's his birthday. He could afford to be a little more selfish.Â
âOh?â He raises an eyebrow, his smile ever wide and absolutely ominous. âI'll keep that in mind next time.âÂ

HI IM IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD !!!! my shitty sexist supervisor (whoâs always sexually harassing me and being a dick to patients) got fired today thanks to me :3 muahaha.
2 weeks ago he did some police brutality bs to a lady who was tryna get admitted. he threw her face down on the ground several times kneeling on her back. which *** all hospitals will tell you to NEVER put patients face down because they can go into cardiac arrest from it. *** also she was throwing up and drunk so she could have aspirated during this too.
anyway, nothing was getting done about it and yesterday i went to my CEO and the assistant director, told them this longgggg ass thing about him and how i refuse to work with someone who is going to cause a patient death and blahblahblah. and today there was a full investigation into camera footage and interviews with people who were there and he is âšâš fired hunnyyâšâš
i refuse to stand by while people take advantage of and brutalize anyone. and i wasnt there when it happened but i sure as fuck will not be complicit in it so â
#mumbles#he should rot in prison butttt#ill take this#and when he was a cop he was taken off duty for police brutality#he likes to hit women#fuck him

Another Complicated Love Story
A Jey Uso x Rhea Ripley FanFic
Chapter 5 | Masterlist
CW none
Chapter 6: Thatâs What You Get
Thatâs what you get when you let your heart win
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
- Thatâs What You Get by Paramore
December 24, 2024
Rhea was gently shaken before the light was turned on. Rhea blinked her eyes. She gently rubbed them. They were a little puffy from crying the night before. She heard her best friend, Jessica clear her throat.
âFrom Adelaide, South Australia, your future Womenâs World Champion, Rhea Bloody Ripley!!â Jessica announced.
Rhea sat up and smiled. âNo announcing before coffee.â
âWell good thing the coffeeâs done, mate. Now get up,â Jessica said.
Rhea followed Jessica into the kitchen. She looked at her phone. A lot of texts from Naomi. None from Jey. Fuck. Fucking Liv Morgan. Wasnât she still with Dom? Why would she be pushing up on Jey? And what were they talking about anyway?
Jessica poured Rhea a mug from the pot. She sipped it and read through Naomiâs messages.
Jey said yâall are done? What happened?
Are you okay?
Just let me know youâre okay, Big Momma â€ïž
Rhea sighed. âNaomiâs texting me.â
âI told her Iâd make sure youâd text her this morning,â Jessica replied. âI told her you were alright.â
âYou and Naomi talk?â Rhea asked, smiling.
âYeah, weâve been DMing since Iâve been planning to come see you. Iâve got her number now. Weâre friends.â
Rhea shook her head. âOk, let me text back.â
Hi Nae. Iâm okay. Yeah weâre done. He was chatting up Liv Morgan. Did he tell you that?
Naomi: Liv Morgan?! Iâm gonna get to the bottom of this
Rhea: Thereâs nothing to figure out. Thanks though.
âI think Naomi would agree with you about this all being a misunderstanding,â Rhea said, sitting on one of her bar stools.
Rhea had updated Jessica after she left medical. Damian went with her to the airport and he helped with getting her seat switched so she wouldnât have to sit next to Jey. But he was flying to New York so he left for a different gate.
âIâm just saying I think you should hear him out,â Jessica said. âI donât think he spent over a year pining for you to then go and chat up Liv Morgan. It doesnât make sense.â
âDom didnât make sense either,â Rhea said.
âI know and if I ever see him backstage, youâll have to stop me from kicking him in the dick,â Jessica said, rubbing Rheaâs back. Rhea laughed into her coffee. âBut even on FaceTime I could see how smitten Jey is with you.â
Rheaâs smile faded.
âSo if thereâs something to figure out, letâs do it,â Jessica said.
âCan we figure out breakfast first, please?â
âWell you were supposed to be taking me to Waffle House. Is that off the table?â Jessica asked.
Rhea sighed. âNo, letâs get ready and go.â
They finished their coffee, focusing their conversation on Jessica, her boyfriend Tony, and life back home in Australia. They showered and got dressed. Jessica pulled her long, brown hair into a ponytail. Rhea combed and brushed her hair, making sure it was straight.
âI think Iâm ready for long hair again,â Rhea said, eyeing Jessicaâs ponytail.
âYouâll get there soon enough.â
Before they headed out, Rhea saw another text from Naomi.
Naomi: Tell my girl Jessica I said whatâs up. Yâall have fun today. Donât forget I have gifts for you!
Rhea: Thanks girl. Iâll pick them up soon. Iâll bring your gift as well.
Naomi: For me?! You shouldnât have!
Rhea smiled and put her phone down to drive.
Rhea and Jessica were enjoying their meal, snapping pics and posting on Instagram.
âI need to figure out a way to take some of these waffles back home,â Jessica said, tearing into her second chocolate chip waffle.
Rhea laughed. Her phone buzzed. A text from Naomi.
Naomi: Do you know what Jey and Liv were talking about? Do you want to know?
Rhea sighed. Did it matter? Maybe it did. Maybe thatâs why Naomi was texting her. But would Jey tell the truth about what they were talking about anyway? What if he just lied to her? Rhea slid her phone over to Jessica. She read the message.
âHell yeah we wanna know. Text her back!â
âIâm only responding âcause you wanna know.â
âLiar,â Jessica replied.
Rhea: What were they talking about?
Naomi: They were talking about Waffle House and Christmas plans. You know how enthusiastic he is about Waffle House. He would talk to any damn one about Waffle House.
Rhea laughed. Jey definitely would. If Waffle House had ambassadors, Jey Uso would be one. He was the reason they were at Waffle House now.
âBut why didnât he just say that?â Rhea asked.
âBased on the timeline of events you told me, you didnât give him a chance to,â Jessica said. âYou kicked him out of medical, went to the airport with Priest, switched seats on the plane. And he probably wanted to respect your space.â
All the color drained from Rheaâs face. She really hadnât let him say anything. She rubbed her temples.
âI fucked up didnât I?â
âMaybe a tiny bit,â Jessica said, smiling nervously.
Why hadnât she trusted him? Given him the benefit of the doubt? Because she had trusted Dom. Because she had given Dom the benefit of the doubt and it blew up in her face. Because Dom hurt her. And now she had hurt Jey. She remembered his face in medical. Had caught glimpses of him at the airport when they landed back in Florida. She had been too angry. She had shut down.
âFucking Dom,â Rhea sighed.
âFucking Dom,â Jessica repeated.
Rhea: I fucked up didnât I? Thereâs no fixing this, is there?
Naomi: Heâs open to talking. I can be the mediator.
Rhea: Good to know. Iâll see you Thursday.
Naomi: Yeah we have to figure out this ride situation for the holiday show.
Shit. Rhea and Jessica were supposed to be riding with Naomi and Jey. She put a pin in that and went out to text Damian.
Rhea: Oh my God. Jey and Liv were talking about Waffle House.
Damian: I told you to go to therapy.
Rhea: I thought I was fine.
Damian: Youâre always fine until youâre not. Do you need the number?
Rhea: No, I got it. Iâll make an appointment.
Damian: Donât make me check on you
Rhea: lol I got it. And Jessica says hi.
Damian: Hi Jessica. Iâm glad youâre there in person to help talk some sense into Rhea. Text me when she makes that appointment.
Rhea: Really? Youâre just gonna text that like this isnât my phone?
Damian: Well, donât read it. I donât know. Iâll talk to you later.
Rhea: lol love you.
Damian: love you too.
Thursday, December 26
Rhea parked her car on the road in front of Jimmy and Naomiâs house. They would be taking Jimmyâs SUV and she didnât want to block the driveway. They were there a few minutes early. Rhea and Jey were meeting at 9 am to talk before getting on the road at 10. Naomi would keep Jessica company. She felt uneasy. She had tried to text Jey directly, but everything she started typing sounded dumb. Even Jessica tried to help, but it still wasnât right. So she had just let Naomi do the talking. She would explain herself today. She gripped the steering wheel.
âHey,â Jessica said gently. She reached out and touched Rheaâs hand. âNo matter what, itâs gonna be okay. I know it doesnât feel like it, but it will. Heâs not Dom, but Iâll kick him in the dick too if it helps.â
Rhea laughed. âThanks Jess. Iâm sure Jey wonât need a kick in the dick though.â
âOkay then. Letâs go see if we still have a ride to this holiday show,â Jessica said.
âOkay thatâs not helping,â Rhea said, opening her car door.
âMy bad,â Jessica replied, opening her car door as well.
Rhea grabbed Naomiâs, Jimmyâs, and Jeyâs gifts out the trunk. Rhea and Jessica rang the bell.
âNaomi!!!â Rhea exclaimed.
âBig Momma!â Naomi replied enthusiastically. .
âNaomi!!!â Jessica exclaimed.
âJessica!!!â Naomi cheered.
Naomi hugged Rhea and Jessica. Rhea handed Naomi the gifts.
âKeep Jeyâs. Youâll be able to give it to him yourself. He brought his gift for you. How are you doing?â
âApart from feeling like a giant idiot, Iâm great,â Rhea said.
âItâs gonna be okay, girl,â Naomi said. âCome in.â
Rhea and Jessica stepped inside. But what if it wasnât okay? What if Jey never wanted to see her again? What if they were really done? An uneasy feeling settled in her stomach.
Please donât throw up, she thought.
Jessica gave Rhea a hug before sitting on the couch. Naomi walked Rhea to the sunroom where Jey was waiting. Naomi opened the door. She stepped aside and Rhea walked in. Rheaâs breath caught. He looked so good even if he was just in a hoodie and sweatpants. He had on all black. He had a fresh haircut. And he lookedâŠsolemn. He wasnât his smiling, silly self. Had she done that to him? She felt her eyes start to water, but she blinked back the tears. Rhea smiled, but Jey didnât return it. She gripped the Christmas gift bag tighter in her hands.
âCan I leave you two alone?â Naomi asked.
âYes,â they said simultaneously.
âOkay. Iâll be back at 10,â Naomi said. She shut the door behind her.
âHi,â Rhea said, softly. She was still standing near the door.
âHi,â Jey said matter-of-factly. He put his hands in the pockets of his black sweatpants.
Heâs really mad, Rhea thought. Understandable.
âCan we sit down?â Rhea asked.
âYeah,â Jey said, sitting down.
Rhea sat on the other side of the couch, leaving some space between them. She put her gift bag in between them and rubbed her hands on her thighs. Her hands were starting to sweat already. She quietly exhaled before looking at him.
âIâm sorry for how I acted on Monday,â Rhea said slowly. âYou didnât do anything wrong. It was me. I was wrong. I put my crap on you and I shouldnât have. Iâm starting therapy in January since I have unresolved emotions aroundâŠyou know who. I donât wanna put any more of my crap on you. You didnât deserve that.â
Jey nodded. Rhea wanted the silence to be filled with anything. She couldnât handle the quiet and hated how distant she felt from him.
âWhat happenedâŠreally hurt,â Jey started. âI care about you a lot. Trust is important to me. You have to trust me and I have to trust you. Right now, I donât trust you.â
Rheaâs mouth twisted to the side. His words felt like a blow to the chest. She blinked a few times and looked away from him. Fuck, fuck, fuck, she thought. She took a deep breath and blew out a shaky breath. She looked at him.
âI understand. And I will do everything in my power to earn your trust back. IfâŠif you let me,â Rheaâs voice cracked at the end and a tear fell from her eye. She quickly wiped it away.
âWeâll see,â Jey said.
What did that mean? She had gotten used to reading him, but this was really her first time dealing with upset Jey. Sheâd never seen him this upset and definitely not at her. But she messed up. She had to own it. And whatever happened, happened. Even if that meant losing him forever.
âHereâs your gift,â Rhea said, trying and failing to hold back more tears. She held out the bag to him. He took it, their hands brushing each other. Her heart stopped aching long enough for it to flutter. He handed her her gift.
Rhea stood up, wiping more tears away. âIâll see you out there? Are we good for Jacksonville?â
Jey nodded. âWeâre good.â
Rhea nodded and then quickly left. She walked to the couch and sat in between Jessica and Naomi. They wrapped their arms around her. Rhea let more tears fall.
âHow did it go?â Jessica asked.
âOkay,â Rhea said quietly. âWe can ride together.â
âSo you two are good?â Naomi asked, uncertain.
âI donât know. I think weâre okay for now,â Rhea said. âItâs a lot to work through.â
Naomi nodded. âThatâs fair. You wanna open your gift?â
Rhea shrugged. âWhy not?â
She reached in the bag and pulled out a black, rectangular box. She opened it and gasped. A beautiful Cuban link bracelet with diamonds. It was similar to the one Jey had. She smiled.
âNice,â Jessica said, under her breath.
Rhea closed it and put it back in the bag. She opened up the card he had in there.
Iâm used to you catching up to how Iâm feeling. So I understand if youâre not ready to hear me say I love you, but I do. I love you. I shouldnât write this in a note to you. I should say it to your beautiful face. But I donât want to scare you off. But Iâm pretty sure you love me too. Itâs in your eyes, the way you stare at me sometimes. I know because I stare at you like that too. Things are getting serious for me. I hope youâre thinking like that too. I see a future for us forreal. Thank you for a wonderful time together so far. Months have felt like forever. I wonder what years will feel like. I canât wait to find out.
Love, Jey
Tears streamed down Rheaâs face. He loved her! He loved her! Rhea had written her note for his gift a few days before the drama on Raw. But she left it there, full of hope. And it seems like Jey had left his note in there for her. So there was a chance. Maybe they werenât completely done.
âAre you okay? What did he say?â Jessica asked.
Rhea nodded. âThese are happy tears.â
âIâll get you some tissue,â Naomi said.
Naomi returned and Rhea wiped her face.
âThank you. He said he loves me. And I wrote in my note that I love him.â
âYâall are so sickening,â Naomi said.
âAgreed,â Jessica said.
Rhea laughed. She held the note to her chest and sighed. She started crying again.
âHey itâs 9:58,â Jey said, walking over to the girls. He stopped when he saw Rhea. âAre you okay?â
Rhea smiled and nodded. âHappy tears.â
Jey smiled for the first time at her. And Rhea wanted to collapse into a puddle on the floor. He held his hand out to her. She hesitated, putting the note down. He stuck out both hands and nodded. She took them and he pulled her into a hug. He smelled amazing. Rhea held him tight. He squeezed her too. They separated and he wiped some of her tears away. He looked from her eyes to her lips and Rheaâs heart pounded. He kissed her on the forehead. She was just happy to feel his lips on her again.
âWhile Iâm glad yâall made up, yâall are gonna be late if you donât get going,â Jimmy said.
âUgh, really Jimmy? You canât let them have a moment?â Naomi said.
Jimmy held up his hands. âIâm just saying.â
âLetâs go,â Jey said. âBye Jim.â
âBye Jey. Nice meeting you, Jessica. Bye Rhea,â Jimmy said, as Naomi walked up to him.
Naomi kissed Jimmy and told him to take it easy. âI love you.â
âI love you too. Be safe and have fun,â Jimmy replied.
Jessica and Rhea waved at Jimmy. Rhea grabbed her bag out of her car and tossed it in the SUV. Jessica and Rhea sat in the back. Naomi and Jey in front, Naomi in the driverâs seat. Naomi put on her playlist and they headed to Jacksonville.

Iâm Not Going Anywhere
Thank you @dominiquelucalover for this idea! I love me some angsty fluff and smut. â„ïž
Warnings: angst, fluff, smut. 18+. Age gap.
- The only thing Hicks had told you was someone was injured on the job. Not who, not how bad, just that it wasnât good.
- Youâd stopped into HQ to drop off some lunch for Deacon, but you werenât surprised that the team was out. It happened more often than not.
- You ran into Hicks on the way to the break room, and heâd told you then about the incident. He wouldnât tell you who, what happened, just to stay put and wait.
- You sat on the bench by the boxing ring, hands trembling and knees bouncing at you waited. The panic was a vice around your chest, the tears threatening to spill down your cheeks.
- The thought of Deacon out there hurt, never getting to see him or touch him or kiss him again.. It was too much to even think about.
- You werenât sure how long you were there, chewing at your nails and biting at your lip before 20-David came down the hallway.
- You stood up so fast your head spun, your eyes searching them. There was Hondo, Street and Luca, Chris-.. Deacon.
- His eyes found yours and he wasted no time running to you. Your face crumbled as your hands reached for him, and you threw yourself at him as a sob broke through you.
- His arms held around your waist, hugging you tight and speaking soft and soothing, a hand cupping the back of your head.
- âItâs alright, itâs alright, Iâm here. Iâm here, baby, itâs okay.â
- The team dispersed to give you space, but you wouldnât have noticed them anyway. Your sobs quieted, but Deacon didnât let you go. His eyes were closed, his nose buried in your hair.
- You took in the sound of his breathing, his heart beat, the smell of him.. Alive. He was alive and okay.
- You eventually pulled back and looked at him, his brown eyes soft as he cupped your cheeks and wiped your tears, resting his forehead on yours. âItâs alright. Iâm all good, baby.. It was Tan.â
- Your brows furrowed in concern, and Deac pulled you to his side, walking with you down the hallway as he explained. That Tan had been shot and rushed off in an ambulance, him and the team having to stay behind to answer questions.
- He left you outside the locker room, promising to be quick as he pressed a kiss to your forehead and dipped inside. Your arms wrapped around yourself as you waited, having him gone from your side this short period of time already worrisome.
- He must have changed at the speed of lightening, because he was out the door and taking your hand in no time. He led you out to the car and opened the door for you, promising Street and Chris would bring your car home. He knew you wouldnât leave his side.
- The drive home was quiet, his hand a constant, soothing pressure in your leg as he drove. You kept a hand over his, eyes drifting over to him the entire drive.
- He parked the car and grabbed his bag, getting out and coming around to your door, helping you out and pecking your cheek before leading you inside.
- You wish you could calm down about the whole thing, but for some reason getting home with him after all the worrying, seeing him safe, brought more tears to your eyes.
- Deac had been through this kind of thing before, with Annie. The worry, the fear. It never quite left, she just grew used to it. But this was all new to you, and he felt terrible.
- He set his bag down and drew you closer, guiding your arms around his middle before hugging you to his chest, hand cradling your head and voice soothing you. âShh.. Itâs alright, baby, Iâm right here.. Iâm sorry I scared you today.â
- You shook your head and sniffed, hands gripping tight to his shirt as you whispered. âIâm sorry, Iâm-.. Blubbering like a baby. This is just how your job is.â
- âThat doesnât mean you canât worry.â He pulled back and looked down at you, hand moving to your cheek. âYou probably think Iâm ridiculous.â You whispered, leaning into his touch. He firmly shook his head and leaned into, pressing his lips to yours.
- Deacon knew you had concerns about the age gap between you both. He knew you had fears of being younger, more âemotionalâ, and that youâd upset him with it. But quite frankly, Deacon didnât even notice, nor care. You were younger, sure, but just as invested in this relationship. And sometime he had the impression Annie couldnât have cared less if he came home, those last few months of his marriage. The love you had for him written all over your face.. It healed him.
- You kissed back softly and slowly melted into him, his scruffy kiss calming your pounding heart. His hands slid over your lower back and gently pulled you in closer.
- You heard a faint thud as he nudged off his shoes and you did the same. The extra height that they gave you was gone and you stood even shorter now, and you could feel Deacons smile as he dipped down to you.
- Your hands ran up over his chest and torso, feeling the chiseled muscle before they dipped lower, hands going under the hem and desperatly roaming over his bare skin. The warmth, the familiar dips and curves of his body.. It was all a comfort.
- You didnât miss how his body arched into your touch, or the goosebumps that rose on his skin. He lifted his arms and let you push the fabric of his shirt up, breaking the kiss so he could pull it off the rest of the way.
- His breathing was heavy and uneven, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he looked at you. He let the fabric fall where he stood before gently grabbing your blouse, fingers working with unnatural speed as he undid the buttons.
- His eyes never left yours as he pushed the shirt over your shoulders. He simply pulled you back to him and moaned against your lips as your bare skin met his.
- Your soft whimpers and whines made his cock harden in his jeans, and it wasnât long before he was guiding you up the stairs, clothes being lost along the way. Both of you stumbling and tripping as he laughed softly, your answering grin making his heart sing.
- By the time you hit the bed, both of you were naked. Deacon crawled over you and instantly pressed his lips back to yours, his hands soft and featherlight as he let them roam over your body.
- Deacon was usually rougher in bed, which suited you just fine. But something was different tonight. His kisses were soft and soothing, his hands gentle as they caressed every curve of your body, grabbing and squeezing gently at your hips and thighs.
- Your breathing hitched in your throat as you felt his hand slip between your thighs, fingers trailing through the wetness of your slit before finding your clit and rubbing slow circles. Your answering moan made him smile and he gazed down into your eyes, his usual primal gaze soft and loving.
- He pressed his forehead to yours and glanced down at your parted lips, eyes and ears eating up every movement and sound from you. âThatâs it, baby, relax.. Iâm not going anywhere. Iâll always try my damndest to come home to you and the kids.â
- Your eyes never left his as he spoke, a blush creeping over your cheeks at his promise. You swallowed hard and nodded, legs spreading as you felt a finger dip into you, a whimper slipping out. âI love you, David.â
- The words couldnât have been more than a whisper, but his answering smile and mumbled âI love you.â Made your heart beat quicker.
- He took his time with you that night, every moment gentle and emphasized with affection. His fingers and mouth devoured you for what felt like hours. You tried to get your mouth on him but he gently pushed back down into the bed and promised you next time.
- His thrusts were so slow, so gentle, you could have melted right there into the sheets. He held you to him the entire time, hand on your thigh, then your cheek as your leg tightened around his hips.
- His lips never seemed to leave your skin. Your cheek, jaw, neck, chest, anywhere he could reach. He was kissing and marking you, leaving you reminders that he adored you.
- Deacon was never shy about being vocal, but tonight he seemed even louder. His grunts, groans, raspy moans of pleasure drove you insane. Your toes curled every time he thrust into you and a deep grunt sounded in your ear.
- His back was a mess of scratches and nail marks that heâd admire in the morning, no doubt. The first time you ever had sex with him, you were embarrassed and apologized profusely for the mess on his back. He simply grinned and silenced you with a kiss.
- Your orgasm built so slow and steady, you didnât notice it until it was right there. You were so focused on him, feeling him inside you and pressed into you, you practically cried in pleasure. It was more intense than any other youâd had with him.
- You was cumming only a moment after you, and his cursing and moaning in your ear told you he felt the same. The hot spurts filling you made your toes curl, and when he collapsed half on top of you, you wrapped yourself around him, savoring the feeling.
- He was still nestled inside you, his cum slowly leaking out between your legs, when he finally moved. Pulling out oh so gently before laying beside you, gently tugging you into his chest and covering you both up.
- Heâd always been a gentleman and cleaned you up first, but tonight he knew you needed to be held. The mess could wait.
- You nestled your head on his chest and closed your eyes, his steady heartbeat in your ear soothing. His hand stroked gently through your hair, his kisses on your forehead making you smile.
- âThank you..â you whispered softly. You felt his answering smile in your hair, but he shook his head as his fingertips trailed down your back. âYou donât have to thank me for anything.â
- You were almost asleep when his phone went off from somewhere in the hallway. It was still in his pocket when you both made your way up here, stumbling out of your clothes.
- He cursed softly and gently moved you, steps soft and quiet as he grabbed his phone and returned to you. He slipped right back under you and held you close, free hand checking his phone as you watched with sleepy eyes.
- âTan is gonna be just fine.â The relief in his voice was obvious, and you smiled wide, leaning up and kissing his scruffy cheek.
- He set his phone on the night stand and adjusted the blankets before hugging you close, both of you relaxing and falling asleep in no time.

Heyyy!! I love your work <3 Can you write a 'Mark is the type of boyfriend to...' and/or something about: idol!mark and reader as a regular person (full time job+college student) maybe with a little bit o angst since they are so different from each other etc?
ăăăămark ⥠is the type of boyfriend to ... âș
mark soft hours & headcanons. all are fictional.
pairing: mark lee x fem!reader
genre: romance, fluff
requested by anon !
author's notes: i did NOT expect all of you guys to like the jeno headcanons so much to the point that an anon requested a mark ver which convinced me enough to make another one for the week đ y'all do indeed enjoy the headcanon series. anyway, to the anon who is reading this, i have to be honest with you but i genuinely enjoyed writing this and i hope you enjoyed reading this as much as i enjoyed writing this. PLEASE. this took me hours to write and i don't expect JUST the anon to like this but all of you too! i can't even say "i hope you enjoy" in the author's notes now that i'm expecting a thousand notifications on my activity tab in this platform.... đ€
p.s. let us all thank mark lee for making the most boyfriend material instagram that could ever exist.... without r_e__m___ this headcanon wouldn't be BORN!
reminding all of u guys that my ask inbox is open so don't hesitate to drop a request or an ask !!!
mark is the type of boyfriend to write you poems whenever feels like it, or whenever it's a special occasion that's all about you. whether it be your birthday or your anniversary together, mark tries his absolute best to find all the words and combine it to make a poem that will surely make you happy. he wants to make you feel loved and safe with him, especially since he's your boyfriend.
"hey, beautiful, i left something on your desk," mark walks to you in the living room, sitting beside you while you work a deadline. you turn to him and chuckled, looking at your room which had a yellow folded note. you knew immediately that mark wrote a poem, and you can't wait to read it. you stand up to get the note on your desk, unfolding it to see an entire script of a poem which was all about how sweet your personality is. you walk back to mark, reading it while he lies his head on your shoulder to read a bit of what he wrote. "'you're so sweet that i can't stop coming back to you as if you're like candy, i take it, i'm the luckiest man in the world because of you, my fancy.'" you read the 3rd line in the 4th stanza, giving mark a little peck after you read it.
mark is the type of boyfriend to definitely rehearse being a husband to you. even though you two may not be ready yet or you can't bring yourselves to commit, he loves to do things a loyal husband would do. would you complain? no, because you loved it when mark would act that way. it's quite silly of him to do that, but trust me, you will need it when the both of you are married.
"good evening, future wifey," mark leans on your doorway while you're putting accessories to your outfit, looking at him once you heard his voice. tonight, mark is taking you out on a date, as part of his "husband rehearsals". he notices you're wearing the yves saint laurent dress mark gave you on your first anniversary, which made him smile and giggle. "looks like you're wearing your favorite dress on our date today, hm?" you nodded, giggling softly. "you truly love rehearsing your husband duties, it's silly." you say, walking to him as you put on your fur coat and kissed him on the lips. "it's not silly when you're gonna need more of me acting like this when we get married."
mark is the type of person who tends to stay with you almost every hour of the day. even when you don't need him, he's gonna be beside you until sunset, he can work with you, or he can cuddle, or he can comfort you while you work. (that's for later) he wants to keep you close to him no matter what, so that he could take care or help you whenever something happens. it's his obligation, and he's happy to take it.
"what... are you doing?" you look up at mark who's massaging your legs, confused and a little startled at the sensations he's giving you. he's right in front of you, trying his best to probably keep you soothed and comfortable while he has nothing to do for the day. you couldn't even make him leave because, you can admit, you loved this. "i know how tired you are after the gala you had with your friends, and i'm trying to soothe you so that you won't feel any more pain walking later. i know you love it, baby." he continues massaging you while you're working, making you giggle as you stared at him. "well, matter of fact... your massages are doing great work."

What's My Flavour ? 8K
Buck settles down in LA and opens a juice bar across the street from a well established coffee shop called Diaz Brews. The owner is not particularly impressed by either his new neighbor or juice in general.
Juice puns, grumpy Eddie and the inevitable happen.
Buck watches his sister spin in a circle, her brown eyes wide as she takes in the four walls of the shop heâs just bought.
Turning back to face him the smile on her face ignites one on his own and Buck recognises the warm feeling in his chest as love and pride. Maddie closes the distance between them until sheâs snug in his arms, her own arms wrapped tightly around his waist and squeezing. Resting his chin on her head he lets his gaze drift. Itâs taken a while to find the right place for them but he has a good feeling about this. Itâs the right choice for him, for them.Â
âIâm really excited about this, Maddie.â He feels her chuckle against his chest then she leans away to look up at him.Â
âMe too Evan. Itâs going to be perfect.â
Buck detangles himself from his sister and bounces off to one side of the room.Â
âI thought counter here.â His arms gesture wildly then he spins pointing at the wall, âmenus up there.â He circles her beaming, âtables and seats this way. Some fridges for the ready made juices once we know whatâs gonna be most popular and here.â He stops by a different wall and circles his hands over the floor.
âI thought we could have a kids area, do it up for drawings and maybe do story time sometimes so the parents can relax and stuff.
He blushes at Maddieâs soft smile, âWhat? You know I love kids.â
She crosses to him and hugs him again. âI know you do and you're just a big kid yourself.âÂ
She laughs at his put upon sigh, âCome on Mads Iâm a responsible business owner now.â
She laughs again and itâs so good to see her happy. He really thinks itâs the best decision theyâve made in the last three years of traveling to come to LA and open a juice bar together. He knows Maddie wants to settle down and he wants whatever makes her happy. He really thinks this could be it.Â
A week later the renovations are well under way the juice bar thatâs going to be his future taking shape. Itâs exciting the only thing he still needs to decide on is a name, heâs been throwing ideas out at Maddie working on his juice puns with variable success.
Right now theyâre taking a break, grabbing a coffee from a shop opposite them, heâs brought a list of ideas that heâs been working on because Maddie had discarded his most recent idea âJuice do itâ yesterday.
They sit at the table and he flips open his pad. âSooooo.âÂ
His sister groans, âBuck, Iâm not sure Iâm strong enough for more juice puns today. Maybe you should try and think of something different. Maybe just Buckley Juices.â
âSeriously Mads thatâs so boring who names their business after themselves, someone with no imagination thatâs who. Dull people Maddie. Dull boring people do that and I am not dull!âÂ
At just that moment their coffees are delivered to their table and his is placed down rather firmly, liquid sloshing up the sides but not actually spilling over.Â
Buck looks up to say thank you to their server despite the clumsy delivery and finds himself staring into a pair of brown eyes. The guy would be handsome if he wasnât frowning down at him. Buck's smile drops away. Not particularly friendly service here, he probably wonât come back in a hurry. Coffeeâs bad for you anyway, heâs been planning on cutting down. The server turns and leaves without a word. He pushes the handsome stranger from his mind and refocuses.
âHow about âThe Main Squeeze? Squeeze The Day?âÂ
He looks at his notes. âor Perfect- Juice the way you are.âÂ
keep reading

Todayâs episode
WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT
What do you mean you willing went through that five times?!
Are you okay? What? I would have died omg
Anyways :D Actual ramble lol. That was a lot. And Lunar actually going back in willingly is pretty impressive. Also, another thing that I would be beneficial for Lunar is sitting down after those and sorting through the stuff that was said. Like saying what was true and what was not.
Cause Moon saying he needed to hear all that bothered me, cause like half of it was either saying that no one loves him or that he should have stayed dead (the other stuff he needed to hear cause itâs stuff he needs to work on)
So going through that stuff and showing what he actually needs to work on and then being like âthis stuff is your insecurities and fears, they are not trueâ would also be beneficial I think. Cause if he learns to accept that stuff as true too, bad stuff happens.

There's a small theory that I've had for a while but recently felt more validated after seeing what Hori said on the popularity poll livestream
The thing he said being this:
Which is interesting because we all know he infamously said back in 2018 that he planned on revealing Hisashi at some point in the story. Which as we know today never happens. So, it leaves us with the question, what happened?
Because in order for him to say this he must've had something in mind at the time for what he wanted to do with Hisashi. The first time we learn his name is in the BNHA Ultra Archive book that came out in 2016. Never officially translated into English btw so this is all we got.
Anyways this means he had something in mind for Hisashi for a while then, but then he changed his mind and kept him out of the story. He feels he put everyone and he wanted to put in the story and wouldn't change anything.
My theory is that he might've planned to make DFO a thing initially but decided it would be best if the story goes a different route and kept it out.
Because why else would you say you plan to reveal who is Hisashi is at some point only for your story to end with no sight of him? Not even a tiny mention. Let us not also forget how people pointed out that Inko's birthday 07/04 spells out nana shi in Japanese which is like Nana's name. It's also canon that All Might pointed out how her hair reminds him of Nana. So I wonder if he also planned on her being Nana's daughter and had AFO target her as a result. This was also something I found to be rumored among some Japanese fan forums. Even though the translations I got weren't great the little I could understand suggested it.
And even though I lost interest in DFO and stopped believing before the story ended this one panel has always stuck out to me.
Hori is insanely detailed oriented, like during Dabi's first appearance he's in front of a hair salon which foreshadowed that the hair colour he has now isn't his real one and was used as proof in Dabi is a Todoroki theory. So the fact that Hori chose to place the "my only family" bubble over a shot where Izuku is watching everything unfold stands out to me even now. Keep in mind this chapter released in 2018 which was the same year Hori said he planned to reveal Hisashi. Maybe could be me reaching, but still something to consider.
I'm not entirely sure of all of this actually and could be wrong. But it's an interesting theory as to what could've happened behind the scenes.
Another theory that I'm less sure of but can see it being possible is that the elements of the reveal he intended for DFO ended up being used for the reveal with Tomura.
Think about. It's actually crazy how similar the Tomura reveal in 419 was similar to what a lot of DFO fans were hoping for all these years.
AFO took on a whole new identity to get close to a civilian, he helped build the home Tomura would live in, played a part in Tomura's conception, he took away his original quirk, set Tomura up as a successor, and AFO had a big reveal moment that left Tomura devastated... like I remember several posts that theorized things like this about Izuku. The reason why AFO targeted Kotaro in the first place was because he was Nana's son and I remember that Inko being targeted for being Nana's daughter was a big part of the Inko Shimura theory.
I don't know for sure if this reveal was built off of his ideas for a DFO reveal he had initially planned. Really it depends on when he first created the idea of AFO being behind all the terrible things in Tomura's life and if he even had DFO in mind in the first place at some point.
But it's fascinating either way. Either DFO fans were right in how they interpreted some aspects of the story to suggest DFO were true and correctly guessed some aspects of the story that were recycled for a different reveal later on, or they were completely off the mark and by coincidence some of their theories for DFO ended up being eerily similar to how the 419 reveal ended up being.
#anyways been thinking about this for a while so glad I get to post this now#again idk I have some doubts about this and seen others discuss it and it's just my take on it#fine if I'm wrong he probably didn't intend for hisahsi to be this huge thing in fandom int he first place lol#but yeah

MR S UPDATE - Friday (BIG DAY OML) (Last day of school before the winter break)
I F*CKING HUGGED HIM TODAY.
Alright, so, today was chill cuz it was the last day of school before the winter break, and since I was done my animation project tomorrow, during animation (3rd period) I asked my anim teacher if I could go see Mr S cuz I had something to give him, and he let me go so I started going. My anim period is also Mr S' prep so it works out well to give him stuff without him being in a rush to leave or anything.
So I peaked my head into his room cuz he left the door open, and it was dark so I was wondered if he was there, and he was in fact there, so I saw him and said "Hey!" and he said "Hey!" and then I walked in with the mug with the candy canes and said "So, I have something for you" and set the mug down on the desk in front of him and he said "Thank you!" and then I set down the two packets of hot choco I brought him too, and he said "Thank you" again. He picked up the mug and looked at it and said "Oh my gosh, did you draw this?" and I said "Yeah, I drew it myself" and he said "Oh my gosh this is adorable" and I said "Thank you!" and then I said "I also have this" and put a crochet little duck made with grey yarn for the body and green yarn for the accents like the bill and feet and a little tuft of hair on top of its head (it reminded me of him for some reason), and he said "Oh my gosh, (as if he was surprised by the number of things) I didn't know you crochet, I'll have to make sure my dog doesn't get this" and I said "Yeah be careful your dog doesn't get it. Yeah, I don't crochet often, but I learned from my mom" and he said "Wow, thank you so much!" and I said "No problem" and then I was thinking about asking him for a hug but I kept hesitating and then I chickened out, and then he was saying stuff to end the convo like "Well, I hope you have a good break, a good holiday, and I'll see you in the new year." and I interrupted him saying "Wait, I'm coming in after school" and he said "Oh, you're coming in after school?" and I said "Yeah" and then he said "Oh okay" and then I said "I'll see you later then!" and he said "See you later!" and then I left to go back to class.
So then fourth period I was just daydreaming about how to get a hug from him, and what would happen after school, going through every possible scenario and how to word it when I ask for a hug cuz I'd much rather ask than assume he's okay with it and embarrass myself. That period dragged on foreverrrr and then I was finally able to go to my locker and then go see Mr S.
I went to his classroom after school as usual but he was talking with his EA so I was waiting til they were done to say hi, and I did, and they both said hi back. And Mr S said "Hi, how was the rest of your day?" and I said "Great, actually" and he said "Great actually?" and I said "Yeah, psych was really chill, we had a lesson but it was a chill lesson and we had a big class discussion in between too" and he seemed genuinely interested. And then his EA left and we said happy holidays and whatnot. Me and Mr S talked about his plans for the break, and he said "WE'RE going to (town name) to (continues)" like I'm sorry, who tf is WE? He was talking about his fam before that, so maybe he was referring to his fam? But maybe he was referring to a partner? Then he asked me about my plans and I mentioned how I'm going to see a movie tomorrow (still not sure if that's actually happening) but he asked who I'm going to see it with, so I told him "My friend E (Insert first name here, we'll call her Bestie E or E), the one that took me to her cousin's wedding" and he was like "Oh" but like... Why does it matter to him who I go with? Is he trying to figure out if I'm single? Cuz I am đ.
But anyways, we continued talking a while until he started packing up and I started packing up so I wouldn't miss my chance to hug him while I had it, but holy sh he gets ready fast and he was at the door ready to lock it while it was open, and he was saying "Well, have a great break, don't work too much on school stuff" and I missed the rest cuz I was panicking inside cuz he was about to leave and I wasn't about to let that opportunity go, so I put down my backpack and purse and said "Wait, can I hug you?" in the most frail, barely audible, tiny, lowercase voice ever đ and he said "Sure, of course!" AND GAVE ME THE CUTEST MOST GENUINE SMILE I'VE EVER SEEN HIM HAVE. IT WAS LIKE A FACE OF ADMIRATION OR ADORATION. And omg the hug was so short it's so sad but when I first hugged him, I PUT MY ARMS AROUND HIM UNDER HIS ARMS AND HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND MY SHOULDERS KIND OF- I JUST REALIZED I HUGGED HIS BODY LIKE I TOUCHED HIS BODY OMFG SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP FOAMING AT THE MOUTH- Anyways, he was so nice and warm, AND FOR A SECOND I LAID MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER WHILE WE HUGGED, and then I felt the hug was gonna get awkward if it went any longer, but he didn't exactly pull away, I just kinda felt like it was time to let go so I did and the hug was over đ it was so short.
When it was over I said "I haven't had a hug in a while" and he said "Oh really?" and I said "Yeah, thank you" and he said "No problem!" with the cutest ahh smile I've ever seen on him before. And we were getting ready to part ways so I said "Alright, thank you so much" and he said "Of course!" and then I said "Bye! See you after the break!" and he said "Bye! Have a great break!" and then I left.
After I left, my hands were shaking so much and so were my knees and I could barely walk so I had to stand outside for a minute before leaving to go home.

ONE YEAR OF CEGAN
On this day last year (December 20th, 2023), I posted the first chapter of Nothing Left to Save, the second part of my Savior!Carl AU series. I had completed the first part all the way back in 2021, after binge-watching The Walking Dead again during lockdown, and I hadn't touched it for over two years. Every once in a while, I would re-read part 1 and look at all the wonderful comments that people left on it and tell myself that one day I'd write part 2. For almost three years, I would add little plot lines to the word document in my files. Then, in November 2023, I was finally done with my PhD and on top of absolute relief, I also felt the need to be creative again. I'd written almost exclusively Marvel for the past two years and I felt that my well for that fandom had run a bit dry. So, out of curiosity, I played the first episode of The Walking Dead on Netflix and I opened my Word document for part 2.
I could never imagine that this would lead to my most creative year ever on AO3. Between December 20, 2023 and today, I wrote almost 400k!! That is mind-blowing to me, especially considering that my total wordcount on AO3 since I opened my account in 2018 is almost 700k. In one year, I wrote more than half of that total wordcount. And all of it was for the Cegan fandom, which is especially insane when I think about how it all started.
More on this under the cut:
One thing that stands out to me most of all is that all these numbers happened in the Cegan fandom, which is a very small community. Back when I was posting part 1 of my Savior Carl!AU in 2021, the engagement was very small and sparse. I think I would get maybe 5 or 10 kudos between updates and two or three comments on each chapter. Back then, I was writing mainly for myself and every update was a labor of frustration as much as love. I had fallen into Cegan hard during my TWD re-watch on Netflix and I had tentatively tried to dip my toe into the Cegan fandom on Tumblr.
(Funny thing: I hadn't created a Tumblr account yet and decided to look at the Cegan tag to see if I could find a community there. What I found instead was harassment and hate spewed by antis all over the tag. It scared me so much that I closed Tumblr and didn't start an account until I got into Marvel. Honestly, I'm probably downplaying how utterly traumatic this first experience was, and I'm so thankful that I kept going anyway and posted my fic on AO3, where, for the first time in my life, I clicked on the 'enable comment moderation' button, because I was so scared that some anti and hater would find my fic and decide to go off in the comment box.)
As I said, I posted part 1 of the Savior!Carl AU in 2021 and by then... Cegan was already pretty much a dead ship already. This might be my skewed memory playing tricks on me, but I remember this being a very small and not really active fandom on AO3. The tag was updated very rarely, mainly by the same people keeping the ship afloat through sheer tenacity. Which makes sense considering season 8 finished airing in 2018, so by 2021, Carl had already been dead for over two years. And yet, in spite of this, I kept writing because I had this very clear idea of the kind of fic I wanted to read and I couldn't find it even after browsing pretty much all of the Cegan tag on AO3 (btw, did you know the first Cegan fic was posted in May 2016, right after the end of season 6 and the first part of the line-up episode? Insane). I knew I wanted a fic that delved into the slow build-up of Carl and Negan's relationship, one set in the apocalypse and which didn't shy away from the fact that Negan was a villain. Two things were most important to me: a slow-build (many fics in the tag where about a love at first sight type of encounter, and it didn't scratch the very specific itch I had back then) and a focus on power dynamics (mostly how unbalanced those dynamics would be when Negan was basically a tank crushing everything and anyone in his path). So, because I couldn't find the fic I wanted, I decided to write it myself.
This is how No Savior to be Found came to life. 45k. 4 chapters (which were supposed to be 3, but even back then I had no self-control over my chapter count...). And, because I was chicken shit about smut back then and because I was still afraid of antis, a Teen and up rating and a Carl & Negan platonic tag. I already knew this was going to be a series, a first introduction into a fully romantic and more sexual relationship between Carl and Negan but I didn't have the courage to write it then so I created the series on AO3 and told myself that one day I'd be ready for the follow-up. I told myself the series would only be 2 parts. A before and an after of Carl and Negan's relationship. If anyone was interested in reading it, cool, but most of my satisfaction would have to be derived from writing it.
This was a very dark and psychologically heavy fic, which I hadn't ever really written before (not in English at least). It was also the first time I tried my hand at flashbacks and a non-linear timeline. Part 1, especially the first chapter, is mainly made up of little vignettes because I wasn't very confident in my ability to write a long fic in English (I had only written one-shots back then, and one Teen Wolf fic which I never finished). It was experimental in so many ways and came with many challenges, first and foremost Negan's voice. As a non-English speaker, Negan's way of speaking was SO DIFFICULT to capture. I remember obsessively re-watching every single episode he was in in S6-8 of TWD to try and get used to the cadence of his words, to his constant delve into the vulgar and obscene. It was a nightmare. Every time I had to write a dialogue with him, I was basically pulling out my hair trying to make it realistic. It was also the first time in my life I ended a fic on a cliff-hanger, but it felt right because this wasn't for shock value or to spike viewer's engagement (what engagement lmao). If you've read part 1, you know the ending I'm talking about and it truly felt like a satisfying wrap on Carl's journey in the Savior AU, from child to man, from blunt weapon to active participant, from survivor to Savior. Honestly, I am still in awe of the courage I had to write an ending like that considering how self-conscious I was about my writing skills in English and what little audience I had. 2021 Duchess, you were a badass.
After I finished part 1, I pretty much lost interest in TWD. I was still incredibly proud of finishing it but I had no desire to get started on part 2 anytime soon. My PhD was taking up more and more of my time, I fell into Marvel hard, I created a Tumblr account to interact with the Stucky fandom, I got a Discord, I participated in Marvel events, I met wonderful Stucky people, and all around had a fantastic time in the Marvel fandom. Every once in a while, I'd get a comment on part 1 of Savior!Carl and... they were all so nice? I remember being actualy shocked by how sweet and how detailed those comments were, dropping in my inbox every few months, telling me how much they loved the fic and how they screamed at the ending. Whenever I received a comment, I would check the fic and get stunned at seeing the stats rise, more and more people engaging with it over the years. With every comment, my belief that I would one day go back to the Savior!AU series and write part 2 became stronger. I knew it would happen some day, it was just a matter of when.
And then, November 2023 rolled around. I defended my PhD and started a new job. Winter had come to Paris, and everything was dark and wet, and my new job had insanely long hours which left me very antsy when I came home. I knew I wanted to write something to distract me and be creative, but I had only written Marvel for two years and yet neither Stucky nor Stony called out to me. I knew I was craving something angsty and violent so I thought, you know what? Let's re-watch TWD on Netflix and see what happens. And lo and behold, I spiralled right back into my Savior!AU. A month later, I was posting the first chapter of part 2.
Honestly, I didn't expect anyone to still be interested in this fic 3 years later. I answered every single comment on part 1 and told each commenter that I had posted the first chapter of part 2 in the hope that someone would be curious enough to check it out. Marvel ships like Stucky and Stony were very active back then so I'd gotten used to a certain amount of stats on my fics, but I knew Cegan was a very rarepair in comparison and so I steeled myself for a return to very low engagement. And you know what? I couldn't have been more wrong. In terms of numbers, sure, it was barely a fraction of what I was used to. But in terms of comments? Of people interacting with the fic and telling me what they thought of it? Cegan was miles ahead of Marvel. To this day, some of the most consistent, most thoughtful comments I've ever received have been in the Cegan fandom. And it's not even a question of length either. I have people who have been commenting nothing but heart emojis on every chapter of my Cegan fics for the past year and I love them to death.
There is no word that can encompass how grateful I am for the Cegan community. I remember how scared I was back in 2021, terrified of antis and people criticizing the ship over, frankly, dumb matters (it's all fiction, enough said). 2021 Duchess could never imagine what today Duchess knows: that I have found so many loving and encouraging people to share my stories with. In one year of writing Cegan, I have met new friends, new readers, new writers, and all around incredible people. This is what fandom is about and I can only say thank you to everyone who has commented on my fics and reached out to me on Tumblr to talk to me about Cegan. This is worth more to me than any stat or number ever could.
2024 has been a fantastically productive year and I don't know if I'll write as much in 2025 but I know it doesn't matter, because more than a wordcount, this year has been about community. Thank you again to everyone who has been with me on this journey, from the bottom of my heart thank you. I couldn't have done any of this without you.
Love,
Duchess
PS: thank you so much @louferignojr for the tag. I'm tagging other people who might want to fill out the AO3 wrap card by Spicedrobot on Tumblr with the blank card at the bottom if they want to :)

@things-arent-what-they-seem66
(Dream)
It was another beautiful day in Eden. The sun was shining, the flowers were at full bloom, the animals were playing, and sitting by the creek was a certain couple. The lovers held each other tightly as they snuggled up close. Adam sighed blissfully as his head was ducked under the angels chin. Adam: Luci?
Lucifer: Yes my dove?
Adam: Can I ask you for a favor?
Lucifer: Of course simply ask me for anything and it is yours. My power knows no bounds.
Adam: Can you make me a promise?
That got the angel to tilt his head curiously.
Lucifer: What kind of promise?
Adam: That youâll never leave me. Or the pup.
He said placing a hand on his still smooth belly. They had both found out right after his heat had ended. The angel sensing a new life forming in him. While both were joyous at first, Adam had lingering fears. He was already scared at the thought of the angels finding out.
He didnât want to know what theyâd do to it. As well as scared that they would separate the two mates. He shuddered at the thought. Lucifer kissed his head reassuringly.
Lucifer: Adam I promise to never stray from your side. My word is as good as golden.
Adam smiled and went back to listening to the tranquil sounds of the garden.
(End of dream)
Adam groaned as he woke up. He sat up in his bed and rubbed any remaining sleep out of his eyes. He hated that once sweet memory with a passion. Adam: (scoffs) Some promise.
A knock came from the door and a familiar voice came through.
Lute: Sir, todayâs the day. Itâs almost time.
Extermination day
A grin formed on his face as he got out of bed and got ready. These past six months have been rough, especially Lucifer and Lilithâs child trying to cause trouble. Trying to preach about redemption and peace. As if that would ever happen. Now it was time to go down there and put the brat back in her place.
He wrapped his large chest, binding it tightly. Before putting on his special robes. The ones he only reserved for E day. All was missing was his mask to which he put it on happily. He loved it when the last thing a sinner saw was his manic mask before bashing their skull in.
He exited his apartment where his lieutenant was waiting for him. All geared up and ready to go. He couldnât help but feel a sense of pride emitting from him as he stared at the angel. He loved all the exorcists as though they were his own. He especially loved Lute for her dedication and loyalty, it was so hard to find that. The two shared a manic smile.
Adam: Letâs do this.
They made their way outside the gates of Heaven where the rest of his girls were waiting. Each year he always gave them a speech before heading out, this one was no different.
Adam: Today we will go down to the hotel and slaughter every single sinner that resides in there. The princess unfortunately must be left alone for she has protection from both the treaty and her parents. However, her precious demons arenât and you know who else doesnât have immunity? Your dear sister Vagatha!
A chorus of angry yells and boos echoed throughout the exorcists.
Adam: Vagatha has betrayed you all by going against her duty to Heaven and spreading her legs for the princess! For that she shall pay
Lute: YEAH LETS RIP VAGGIEâS CUNT OUT OF HER MOUTH!!!!
Adam: âŠWhat the, can you just, chill Lute. (Shakes head) Anyways whoever brings me the head of the traitor can have her old spot as third of command!
That got the girls excited. Adam: Now with that out of the way, ATTACK!!!
A portal opened up before them as they descended down to the depths of Hell.
The First Anti-Christ
@things-arent-what-they-seem66
(excuse me for the long prologue)
Anti Christ, the child of the fallen one, the devil. Everyone knows of the name and what it means. However, they donât know of WHO that child is do they? Everyone thinks that the child will make themselves known as they bring on the end of humanity. What people donât realize is that the anti-Christ has already walked upon the Earth.
In fact he was the first to be born on the planet. You see he was one of the very first humans. The very first child and son of the mother of humanity, Adam the first omega. His name was Cain.
Now many must be wondering on how this came to be. Why did it happen. How and why did the first omega manage to give birth to the fallen oneâs offspring. All will be explained here, in this story.
A long, long, long, time ago when the Earth was still young the creator of it had decided on what its final inhabitants would be. They were called humans, the very first of their kind. He made them into something special. With their names came their designations.
Lilith the first woman and alpha
Adam the first man and omega
He made the two to be companions, to watch over another as one would for a friend or as he hoped like siblings. However, his other creations had other plans. While the Lord was busy attending to his purpose of watching over the universe. The other creations, the angels went down to the humans and they told the two that they were more than just companions. They told them that they were mates and they would bring forth true humanity.
Both were confused and asked how? The angels told them that once a month Adamâs womb would welcome Lilithâs seed and instructed him for when the time came for Adam to lay on his back and to spread his legs for his mate. When they heard of this both were rather disgusted by it. They hadnât known each other for long but they simply werenât compatible in that way. They couldnât even bother to be friends for they both had too many differences that often clashed with each other.
While Adam was energetic and outgoing, Lilith was reserved and careful. It would often cause arguments from the two, especially when it came to their duties. Their first duties, of naming and caring for everything in the garden. Lilith thought Adam to be immature. Adam thought Lilith to be demanding. Both seemed to think that nothing was ever good enough for each person. One thing they both could agree on is that they did not wish to be mates.
Still Adam did not wish to upset the angels and simply bowed his head and nodded submissively. They began to explain other sets of rules that both were to follow. Lilith as the alpha was to always provide and care for her omega. Adam as the omega was to always follow her way and submit to his alpha. Both were to bring children into this world.
Lilith would become the father of humanity. While Adam would become the mother of humanity.
Lilith, disgusted at the thought, disagreed wholeheartedly. She fled from the garden and away from the omega. Hoping to never set another foot in there again. She was found by someone, an angel of the Lord himself, whom she would soon call a friend and sometime after that a husband. Though she didnât trust him at first she eventually told the angel of why she ran from paradise.
The angel was shocked and confused. Why would his siblings do that? Why would they mess with his Fatherâs creations that way? He wanted so badly to go up there and tell his Father of what they had done to Lilith. He knew that they would somehow find a way to pin the blame onto him.
That is why he came up with a new plan. To meet and talk to Lilithâs supposed mate. What he didnât know at the time was that the omega was actually his true mate.
He crept into the garden, careful not to aware the elders of his presence. What awaited him in the garden was not what he expected. A true beauty, one that took his breath away. Though he had thought Lilith to be pretty. She was nothing compared to Adam.
His soft brown hair, honeyed eyes that sparkled, and tan skin that was splattered by freckles. His Lucious curves was enough to drive him insane. The angel managed to open his mouth and introduced himself. His name was Lucifer, the angel of light and Godâs most favored son.
